Review,Rating
"Despite my hopes, dreams and wishes for this show, it's quite mediocre. I'll address the big four: Casting, Acting, Writing and Direction.

Direction: Mechanically, there is nothing wrong with this series. It's shot well and the direction seems to be fine. I wish the other three areas had fared as well.

Casting: The casting could use some work. Alana Bloom, Katz, the forensic tech and Garret Jacob Hobb's daughter were all pretty poor casts. They don't look their parts, they're not particularly good actresses and they detract from the show more than they add to it.

Acting: Most of the actors in the show do decent enough work. Some of them do not. Alana Bloom is too emotional, irrational and unprofessional to be believable as a psychiatrist. GJH's daughter constantly uses asymmetrical facial expressions, which are fake. Other than contempt and, perhaps, puzzlement, there are no genuine facial expressions that are asymmetrical, certainly not fear, which she, unfortunately, thinks should be an asymmetrical expression. Katz's character doesn't make any sense. I will cover that more in the writing section, but the actress that plays her isn't believable in the role. She doesn't look or behave like she's in a scientific field or a member of the FBI. The rest of the acting in the show is fairly decent and even very good when it comes to the rest of the cast, particularly, the veteran actors.

Writing: This is the biggest flaw in the show. The show should have been centered on Hannibal and his killing. It's not. Instead it centers around Will, who's a nobody and isn't particularly likeable as a character, and his mental illness. Making mental illness the main conflict in a TV series is always a mistake bc people don't want to see some person struggle with hallucinations or internal demons. It doesn't translate well to film. Ever. People want to see Will do his job and they want to see how the cunning FBI catches equally cunning serial killers. As a result, most of the show's plot is tedious and dragging nonsense that quickly becomes tiresome. Poor, poor decision making when it comes to the writing in this show. When it comes to characters like Dr. Bloom and Katz, the forensic tech, they are often involved in work that has nothing to do with their professions. Bloom is constantly blurring the lines between personal and professional relationships which is fairly unrealistic. She's also overly emotional, irrational and unprofessional. Her character is difficult to believe as a psychologist. As far as Katz, she frequently wears more makeup than any forensic tech should wear to work, is constantly making irritating little jokes and often shows up to places she's not needed and operates beyond the capacity as a forensic tech. It's like the show doesn't know who she is. The same way that Will is sometimes just working with the FBI as a consultant, sometimes is a teacher at the FBI academy and sometimes is a special agent for the FBI. There's not a lot of consistency in these characters and they're often appearing in roles and taking on duties that a person in their position would not. That being said, nothing detracts from the show more than the sob, pity drama surrounding Will and whether or not he's crazy. It's tedious, it's boring and it's dragged out for far too long. The show is called Hannibal, it should center on him, his murders and the cat and mouse game with the authorities. Instead, this would be like calling the show 'Micheal Meyers' and then focusing on Laurie Strode and whether or not her experiences have damaged her psychologically. No one with even half a brain would care about that story and no one with even a quarter of a brain is going to care about this one bc of the terrible writing choices. That's too bad.",4
"With the good score and knowing Nolans previous work I got into the movie with some expectation. But the whole thing for me was, wait, the fun (visual or intellectual) will begin now, but no, it didn't begin then, seemed that some more explanation was needed, so be patient, the fun will begin soon, that movie looks long.... now?, will it begin now?... and the movie ended.

I was thinking to see it again, perhaps I was not my most brilliant intellectual day but fortunately I see others experienced something similar so it was not my fault I think.

So, an average+ work but with that hype and the director's prestige it doesn't live to the expectations.",6
Brilliant brilliant brilliant highly recommend Must watch,8
"I might not be good in this industry, but honestly, don't waste your time watching it... The movie has no story, and except for some funny scenes, it has nothing. Indeed, they play well, but they are actors. The scenes don't connect between them, they have nothing to do one with another, i don't get it why they filmed so long, 159 min, it has no reason... you wait all the movie for an action for something to happen, but except for the last 15 min, nothing happen, which is sad.

I didn't read and watched any plot/review/trailer, i was convinced buy the rating and the casting... i still don't get why it has such an high rating, but anyways, i'm not here to understand this...

Maybe i had too high expectations from such a producer and casting, but it was disappointing in my opinion.",2
"OK, so I just finished watching this flick and I found it to be upsetting. I am 20 years old and I heard so many good comments about Pulp Fiction. I purchased it and thought I would love it because I like gangster and shoot-em-up movies, like Boondock Saints and Scarface. However, I do have a disliking of Quintin Tarantino, I hated the Kill Bills and I just don't like Quintin Tarantino as a person. I feel like the movie lacked motivation and moved slow until the last twenty minutes. There were several plot gaps that left me hanging and the twisting story line that was supposed to be theatrical was just stupid and unattached to any part of the movie. The only saving grace for this film was the fact that it had an all star cast. I'm sorry if you disagree and you all probably will but this movie JUST SUCKED!!!",2
"Not a bad movie, have a lot of time for the cast but suffers from the same issues a lot as the other DC movies. Lack of peril for the main protagonist, average script, predictable story, average acting outside of top billed cast, sterile special effects. A good enough kids movies, better than most DC but one I feel asleep watching and in I'll be in no rush to rewatch.",6
It could've been much much better. Hope they improve in the next season.,6
A company called devs doing future prediction project...but protogonist's boy friend died for objecting those things...then his girl friend try to find the truth behind his death and take revenge of them.. Really some episodes are very boring and talking samething... One time watchable..!!,6
"This series was a wonderful surprise. Like some other reviewers, I was put off by the first couple of episodes but I stuck with it and I'm so glad I did. The show is called Russian Doll for several reasons, and I think one of them is that the first couple of episodes are like the outer doll, which is just the superficial first layer, but then each episode reveals more and more until you get to the amazing final chapter. The cast is excellent, and the writing is superb, getting better with each episode.",9
"At best this is a two hour movie. Instead it's nearly seven hours stretched out into boredom. I'm not sure what all the praise for Taylor-Joy is about. To repeat a comment by a long ago critic, she runs the gamut of emotions from A to B. And please tell me why this movie takes place in Kentucky and yet not a single character has a Southern accent?",4
"What I thought was weird is that Jenny Lind was a famous OPERA SINGER, not some cabaret singer. Was that too hard to portray?",6
"I was genuinely disappointed. After about 45 minutes I watched the rest of the movie waiting to see something change because I honestly couldn't believe it could be this bad. The whole point is that a bunch of gangsters kill John Wick's puppy, the puppy left by his beloved wife after her death from cancer. The rest of the movie is John Wick killing tens of people taking revenge. That's it. There is nothing new, no noble cause, just revenge. Apparently we are to accept that it is ""ok"" to kill tens of people (be it gangsters) for the puppy's death. There is nothing new here; you've seen retired hit-men revenge their wives, revenge their kids, revenge their friends, even depicted as heroes trying to save the world from the evil of their previous lives. Apparently this movie has something new to say by revenging a very cute and lovable puppy. Many contradicting scenes and inconsistent characters too. Ending is not believable or even satisfying. Disappointment after disappointment for more than an hour.",4
Engrossing Convicting actors Brutal in a good way,9
"The Boys just blew my mind with its unique but engaging concept as I haven't seen its trailer before watching the season I thought its just another superhero season but it surprised me in a good way. They tried to show the different side of superheroes that we have never experienced before and it was quite horrific too if they go on a different path and try to harm humans, mind blowing.",9
Weird but great show. Great to see Marvel doing something different for a change rather than the same old boring stuff. Can see this will get more interesting as each episode comes out,8
"First of all, I love Robert and William and their ability to infuse into their roles.

Several moments in the movie, I forgot they were actors.

Insanely good.

I love the black/white since it can make movie somehow deeper and/or more gritty.

Great stuff!

With that said, I think reviewers have given the film a good rating so that they do not look stupid or unintelligent.

Same thing with Us but that's another review.

The movie is not one of the greatest movies ever, it's medicore and could have been so much more; The string of HP Lovecraft could have been imfused with much more delecaty and it's a shame.",4
"I finally finished watching the sixth season of ""My Hero Academia"", which I had not been able to watch yet. I watched this season in preparation for the seventh season of the anime airing in spring and the fourth ""My Hero Academia"" movie being released in summer. The dystopian atmosphere filled with despair in the latter half was really tough. Although a glimmer of hope finally emerged towards the end, connecting to the next season, this season was filled with relentless challenges. It's still tough to see Deku crumbling because of his personality trait of not considering himself, huh. I hope he will be rewarded in the next season and beyond.",8
"Why do you always spoil this kind of series when they see children like the old exchange of kisses are only 12 years old? How to add to the scenes kisses among them how to allow this I think this is annoying to me but I also think that many agree with me on this point.

But we must do justice to this series of the most beautiful serials I liked it that they were keen on the series decoration and photography is very beautiful and tell the story as well, and yes this series is among the top 10 series I have.",9
The owl us here the best character in attack on titan so exciting for the next episode,10
"Started an account just to warn others. Avoid at all costs. My ticket was free and my companion's was $12 and I feel totally, totally robbed. No plot, no point. I'm drinking straight whiskey now to try and get it out of my brain. I noticed some gen y and millennials laughing at some of the mindless slapstick nonsense aspects, but if your IQ is average or above take a comfy pillow. Yawn ... someone told me it was satire ... which begs the question: ""Of what?!"" ... the audience, perhaps. 4 stars is generous.",4
"I'm rather surprised that this film wasn't produced by Disney. Because it's right up their alley. A young man (Patel) from India travels to England in search of recognition for his work in mathematics. A professor (Irons) takes him under his wing as a mentor in an attempt to show him how to improve his theories. Needless to say, if you're not that into math, this film may not be for you. This ultimately cripples any chance of this film being popular. It shows so much that this man did but it's lost to anyone that doesn't understand what it means. The film just doesn't explain anything. It continues to say that the work is important but never shows why.It tells us to be invested without letting us be. For someone like me that doesn't know how these formulas are vital to math it's hard to be invested. The entire film rests on the work that this man did but is lost among the films own agenda. An agenda that brings religion in at the oddest of times.

The two main characters will be chatting about proofing the formulas than randomly god and faith will be thrown in. The film accidentally implies that you can't be great without God. This is the thing that frustrated me about the film most. I get that the main character was very religious but why does the film feel the need to say something like this?

One character is religious and the other not. And the film continually makes the case that nothing is possible without God. If you're not religious than this other wise well intentioned film is very pretentious. The strange part is, the only openly atheist character is the most interesting part of the film.

Hardy, played by Jeremy Irons, is the best part of the film. Not only is his performance excellent as always but his character is actually interesting. You can tell he has a hard time letting people close to him. He is cold and sometimes overly harsh but you can see that he cares. It's a complex character that I would've loved to see more of. Especially considering how bland the main character is.

I mean the entire film revolves around this young man and yet, all we know about him is he has a family, is religious, and likes math. That is all. Not knowing what kind of a person makes his struggles boring. It's impossible to care about him which makes the majority of this film unbearable to sit through. Not to mention the repulsive cinematography and direction.

Nearly half the film is out of focus. Even when a shot is in focus there is nothing interesting going on to hold your attention. Most of the shots are within dark rooms that are so poorly lit it's hard to tell where the characters are. All they had to do is put one or two more lights up in the room and the shot would have been a hundred times more compelling. But no, no one seemed to care in the slightest.

The film is as harmless as an underdog sports movie and that's the problem. It does it's main character wrong by not being anything different. It continually says that this man changed the world of mathematics but does so in the most by the numbers way. It's predictable, flat, and boring. If it weren't for the great lead performances and Jeremy Irons presence, this film would have been a disaster on every level.",4
"Basically Season 2 is just 'Homelander' killing everyone. So predictable, so boring. The storyline so contrived. It feels so much like whatever. It's not even the typical average rating 3 out of 5, which seems to be everything these days, but this one is a solid 1. Nothing redeeming.",1
"Christian Bale is fantastic, can't emphasize how great he is in this film. All other actors do a great job too. Definitely the best part about the film is the acting. It is shot very well, too. But the story is slow and seems kind of drawn out needlessly. Wasn't able to understand where it was going for a long time.

Unfortunately ended with a ""live your truth"" message.

Regardless of that, still a good film. Just kind of long and slow.

Don't have anything else to say just trying to reach the minimum for a review. Why in the world does it have to be this long. I don't need this much to review the movie.",7
I love Martin and Short but the reviewers giving this a 10 need to go back and look at what these great comics have done in the past. This is not close to their best work. It is a solid 6 so I will continue to watch and hope it gets better.,6
"I just finished watching this stunning piece of art. I could only cry in the end with overwhelming emotions and boy oh boy, what a ride! It took me 16 years to get back at this series. Back in 2005, I got to watch the first season of this show in Nickelodeon and I was awed and blown away by the story of the show. But I did not get to finish it as my cable service provider removed Nickelodeon from their services. I remember being so sad and angry they did that. I was rooting for the show and its story so much. I could not do anything about it and I moved on and finally after many years, I thought about it in these corona days. I heard it is available in Netflix but somehow it was removed when I searched for it. I searched in other streaming platforms too but did not find it. I almost gave up and finally decided to search hard for it in the internet and found it with great difficulty and downloaded all the episodes. All the episodes I watched back then is still etched in my memory that when I got to watch it again a few days back, all the nostalgia hit me so strong that tears came out of my eyes when I first saw the title animation and the amazing music. I could not believe what I was watching. The story, the action, the amazing animation, the soulful background music, the ending, it is perfect and taught me many things even as an adult now. This show is for everyone as many people said in the reviews. This is my first review eventhough I was in IMDb for years. Perfect timing to write my first review of a perfect show. Avatar brought back my childhood, felt so nostalgic and many emotions that I could not explain while watching this show. It's been an honour for me to get to watch this stunner of a show.",10
"The positives: It's beautifully photographed and the depiction of the wormhole is spectacular. Performances are delivered with conviction - Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain are particularly effective.

The negatives: It's very long - not necessarily a problem - but if you make a 3 hour movie it has to sustain interest (and in this case tension) for that period, which, unfortunately, it doesn't. 2 hours in, I really didn't care if mankind survived. Not helped by Mathew McConaughey's slow, mumbled delivery. I guess he was going for intensity, but it doesn't come across that way.

The absurdity: The robots are ridiculous - like something out of a 60s Sci-fi serial. The idea that a more advanced society would create something like that is just plain ludicrous. And the depiction of the inside of a black hole and how it helps solve the puzzle is unbelievable in the extreme. To me, it seems like Nolan had no idea how to solve the dilemma he had set. Sure, it's Sci-fi, but unless it's done for comic effect, it still needs at least a veneer of plausibility. But not here.

One of those films that has an over-inflated rating and reputation, which may well be revised by posterity.",3
"This is another hit for Bettany, and another dialed-in crapfest from Crowe. I do NOT GET the adulation awarded this film by critics. The screenwriters have completely bastardized a better story.

Just for the sake of correctness, Nash didn't invent game theory as this work attempts to claim. He came up with a notion of equilibrium, which is simply brilliant and he more than deserves the Nobel. But Crowe does NOT. This was supposed to be a historical film, but due to Crowe's lackluster performance, backed up by his aggressive contractual negotiations, his character has been given credit for things he did not do! In a learned person's opinion, this is an irresponsible, and disgraceful film mainly due to Crowe's contractual screen time, which necessitated giving his character credit for things he should not have been portrayed as having done, and his totally crappy, dialed in performance.

This was a typical Hollywood whitewash of the truth, and a typical Hollywood performance by Crowe. When will they just STOP handing this untalented hack roles like this?!

It rates a 0.6/10 from...

the Fiend :.",1
"Having come through, and well and truly left 'The Second Golden Age of Television' behind, it's still completely baffling how wish washy lame and pretty much plotless films and tv series are now getting all the funding.

While this pointless film, with an all star cast and what seems like a very generous budget, doesn't grate upon one like the dismal failures of, say Fargo Season Four, it's pretty much in the same category... which would be akin to 1980's supermarket shelf romantic fiction paperback novels. There's literally nothing original, interesting or even vaguely suspense driven about it.

It has a gentle tone about it, which prevents it from infusing an infuriating feeling of wasting one's time, but it is 99% exactly like 1990s pop-jazz elevator music.

But it is aggravating, because there is obviously even talent and money involved for it to be really good.

Who is writing this crap!?

It reeks of nepotism and young-Millenial-meets Gen-z's elites who seem Yo have zero grit/absolutely no first hand life experience amd are completely unwilling to venture out of the ever closing-in-walls of what's 'socially acceptable'.

The blame for this utter waste of money and time most likely falls on every executive and hands on producers involved, but not off the hook are the writers and directors, and even actors who choose to be involved.

But essentially, the blame is on the financial backers, be gigantic corporations like Amazon, or a mix of highly propaganda oriented media companies.

Sadly, the result is the same - utterly boring story telling.

Let's just hope that this dark age of fiction media story telling doesn't last too much longer. Sigh.",2
"It's a slow build up, so stick through the boring slowness. Cause it gets better at the end. It was very heartwarming to watch the character development and seeing how it ended.",6
"This movie was simply awful. The only redeeming aspects of this movie was the CG and some of the cinematography.

It lacked story, character development, and basically everything else that goes into making what generally qualifies as a great movie. Gravity was just an excuse to naturally take advantage of 3D where as other movies have 'forced' 3D moments that are out of place. In space though, almost any moment can be made into a 3D moment and feel natural. Also, if your easily nauseated you'll want to sit this one out or sit at the very rear of the theater. The constant spinning of objects, people, and camera shots will make you sick.

After seeing the trailer to this film, I had no intentions of spending my hard earned money to go see this. My girlfriend decided she wanted to go because her brother said it was an amazing film and she would pay if I went with her. So of course I went like a schmuck and figured with low expectations the film couldn't get any worse. I was wrong. I constantly found myself looking at the remaining time. Even she apologized for taking me to the film and said she would never trust her brother again.

If your a Bullock/Clooney/CG/3D nut, then this movie was meant for you. Outside of that, this film lacks everything that makes a film great or worthy of such reviews/ratings its currently receiving. At most I'd say this film was in the 6ish range but gave it a 1 simply to curve all these phony ratings.",1
"Since its announcement at Comic-Con in 2019, generating quite a lot of expectations and theories about what it could address, finally the first Marvel Studios animation came to the homes of the world through the Disney+ platform this August, and today in October with its ninth episode came to its conclusion, but is it really a step in the right direction for the franchise and its universe? Or is it a failed attempt to want to attract that glory they had counted on with past animations like Spectacular Spider-Man?

Marvel's What If...? It's a very rich series in content, it has all the things you want to see in a series with different premises that address situations that have occurred in this cinematic universe. For starters, I have to say that the animation style wasn't that appealing to me when I saw it in the trailers, but boy did I end up being convinced with the final product they offered; and better yet, with the duality, world and story of each episode, it creates a unique color palette so that not only does it differentiate itself in the story it's telling, visually you're taking in a beautiful show where you see variants of stories, helping you connect and let yourself get carried away easier by the show.

Narratively, at first I thought this show would give episodes that would give separate stories in multiple universes, but as we all know in the season finale they ended up connecting that story in a somewhat rushed way, filled with a lot of fanservice but it works very well because it does what I think is the most valuable thing about these superhero projects: entertain you. All in all I have to say that I found all the episodes interesting, you have premises like what would have happened if T'Challa was Star-Lord? Which try to further deconstruct the events of the main universe and make it totally their own, but you also have the What if Peggy was Captain Carter? Which goes back to the main problem with this franchise: doing more of the same without taking any risks. It works for the story being told, but you can't help but feel that they could have taken more elements and modified them to their liking, in the end it's a What If?

The addition of several known voices to their respective characters will always add points and I think that whose characters did not have their actors, the truth is that there is nothing to complain about, for example, Lake Bell did a great job dubbing Natasha with the absence of Scarlett Johansson that at the end it didn't really need it.

Another important point I feel is that there weren't as many dips in the narrative and story of the episodes as in other Marvel series, something that makes the product more enjoyable, although obviously there are episodes that can seem very simple or narratively do not seek to make your story bigger, either because there were no more ideas or remain latent to a continuation. That said, I would recommend that you watch the series in a row, the episodes are really short and the experience would definitely improve with a marathon that would not leave you stung or anxious with the respective endings of each chapter.

To conclude, What If...? It really is a pretty big experiment that turned out well for Marvel Studios, it has a good animation style, it's interesting to see the stories they offer and, above all, there's a lot of fanservice everywhere, elements and characters from the comics that we hadn't seen because of the structure of the MCU that really made me enjoy the show even more. No doubt the series has everything for more seasons but it will be difficult to overcome or manage to make another interconnected story as in this first season, I think it is one of the risks they face by the implications already made clear in this season, but there is content where to draw, just hope to continue along the line you need and do not try to do things that don't correspond to him or, to turn their stories boring without any emotion, although the latter I see it difficult.

If you're a fan of this franchise and you like the MCU, this series is definitely for you, it has enriching episodes in its story, others a little slower and without much narrative to offer, but obviously the most important thing is that it will entertain you a lot for the amount of emotions and fanservice it has.

Final grade: 8.2/10

How much important editing is to a movie is clearly visible from this one. It could have been masterpiece but the editor messed it up. SRK at his peak for the last time. I wish they could have found a better editor.,8
"I watched this film on the opening day and I left disappointed. This movie is too fast paced and too easy plot with tons of loopholes. Infinity War was a great film compared to it and Guardians of Galaxy, Ironman series, Captain America 1 were far better movies than this one. Endgame is running on hype and the total collection seems huge because of way too overpriced movie tickets. This movie is made for only children of age under 12.",3
"One of the worst series I just completed watching. Predictable and the protagonist is unintentionally funny for some reason. Expect for the fantasy element in the plot, there's nothing new this show offers and plays as typical whodunit.

I really loved the dance sequence, which is quite interesting sequence. Other than that, this show has nothing to offer. Can't believe mediocre shows like this gets a new season than Mindhunter which is such an amazing show.

Children might love this show for it's plot. I would recommend this to kids who like fantasy genre. For the rest of the people, I suggest you to SKIP this show.",4
We loved this.It was great seeing a surprise strong female lead. She was able to carry the suspense over the entire series.,7
"However, season 5 was very disappointing and not make it justice. Thats why -1",6
"I liked this movie a lot, but what I liked best was the ambiguity in the characters. Jerry is a jerk, and probably inherently larcernous. One suspects that the reason he needs money is to feed a gambling addiction. He is more weak and feckless

than malevolent, and although he sets this carnage in motion, he is not

ultimately responsible for the turn it takes. His wife is much the nonentity and certainly does little for his self-esteem. Their kid is also a loser,, but he does appear to have some redeeming features.The father-in law is a real jerk; I was really uncertain of the degree until I watched him and his financial guru cut Jerry out of the parking lot deal. However, he certainly doesn't deserve to get shot.The two kidnappers are great studies in abnormal psychology, the Marlboro Man is

a classic psychopath. The nerd is a classic loser and screw-up trying to act like a tough guy. One suspects he has been brutalized since childhood and most

especially in prison. The Indian, the two hookers and the escort service cutie are really well done. You can't help feeling sorry for them. The pregnant lady sheriff is almost perfect. The reviewers from Minnesota say the Scandanavian accents

are bogus; why would the director do this in a movie with a lot of realism? GTM",9
"Growing up watching the original series, I was surprised to see a reboot on Netflix, I find dr. Smith's character convincingly repulsive. She manifests all the characteristics of someone who has an an addictive personality and is asocial. Will is a suprisingly good young actor. I am not disappointed and hope for a second season. It is something that brings me back to my youth; completing my homework so I could watch Lost in Space on a 10"" today tv.. Rubricator",8
Why pretend to be English when yr accent is New Zealand? No one is fooled ? Quite a violent vivid show but very watchable between fingers at times.,8
"Maybe I'm missing something here, but this movie seems to be promoting abuse as a method to achieve perfection. It is incredibly painful to watch...",3
Nice movie.revolutionary change in attitude. People should watch it. Nagraj manjule is best marathi director. It will break all barriers in Indian society.,10
5/10 - boring and unfulfilling horror flick's acting performances are its only saving grace,5
"Why is this show even renewed till season 3 when you don't have plot to take it forward. Season 1 was perfect and quite fitting end should've stopped there. Season 2 hard and forced even though not that bad should've at least stopped there. No, Season 3 is quite a turn of events where have we started and where did we end? Season 1 was successful as it was based on a best selling novel what does season 2 and 3 based on? It's based on some writers hired by Netflix who are high.",5
"Two men in search of Oscars go to an island that is far too close to purgatory for any writer to contrive where upon they drink themselves into oblivion, and, like, that's it. Pattison has won me over and this film doesn't detract from that (he's one of, amoung many of the best things about Tenant) but even my new found enamor and the solid, 'even if he phoned it in' brilliance of Defoe doesn't makes up for this film being what it is, a claustrophobic cluster not exactly f&$k,more foreplay, abouve the pants stuff with literally and figuratively no happy ending.

But, like, I cede there maybe many things I missed, subtle and brooding, hidden and obscured and I accept that my frame of mind wasn't right for it though I don't think it would ever be. I like films with a sense of menace and dread, sinister and dark themes but instead of delivering these it supplied a painful account of two mens decent into maddness, and I just couldn't get over the sense of they're in purgatory' which wheather they were or weren't isn't a good thing.

Though other than the performances the cinematography was stella, the tension times was tense which again is more the pity. A chance lost ultimately.",3
"The movie wasn't exactly bad but certainly doesn't belong in the top 250. I'm not a big fan of Nolan's view of Gotham City. Tim Burton made the city look very surreal in his two Batman movies, whereas Nolan wanted to make a very realistic and dull looking city.

The film's biggest problem is the plot. The movie felt at least an hour longer than it actually was because of it. It has way too many characters and elements, and it's ultimately a long and boring mess. It doesn't even have a proper ending, it just hints at things to come. I also was longing for more action scenes. The movie only has like one slightly longer action scene, and even that isn't that great. There are smaller scenes here and there, but they are usually ruined by crappy editing, which doesn't allow you to see what's actually happening.

The best part of the movie is Heath Ledger's Joker, even though the character suffers from poor development. We only learn that he had a difficult childhood and that's it. Ledger still manager to make him a very disturbing character.

Don't believe the hype and make your own conclusion.",5
It's basically Lost + The Walking Dead. Pretty good and worth a watch.,7
"Would kids who have recently saved the world from evil be worried about being popular? The characters deserve more than being pushed back to square one in their quest for acceptance. The strength of the show relies on their tight-knit friend group and they just don't have that chemistry anymore. More Murray, Joyce, and especially Robin and Steve, please.",7
"It's a good story overall, but I felt they just overcomplicated it by the many sub plots. This probably led to the overall pace being slow and boring at times.

The 5th episode was the best, but the first and last were just a drag. I love the British crime thrillers, mini series or the multi season ones because of the police process and also due to the locales especially the rural ones. I got a feeling the creators were trying to copy that here. The process was pretty good in this, however I felt they overdid the gray and gloomy tones. As for the locale, well there is not a whole lot they could have done about it.

Kate Winslet was awesome and so were the supporting cast. No complaints there.",7

"Where Memento was psychologically deep and engulfing, Batman Begins is shallow and repetitive. Chris Nolan's breakout masterpiece Memento showed us that he could tell a story that keeps us riveted and constantly guessing through unique editing and story telling techniques. However, Batman Begins flowed poorly. I commend Nolan for not using the quick flashy editing techniques of directors like Guy Ritchie, but his more subdued style failed to engage me. The placement of the flashback sequences were jarring, and failed to move the plot forward in an interesting way.

Unlike the Spiderman films, Nolan failed in creating sympathy for both the hero and the villains. The story is a classic battle between good and evil, but I found it too simple. The film attempted to engage us in a good dialog about the reasons for crime and corruption and how poverty is both a symptom and a cause of both. Unfortunately, it was grossly simplified for the sake of mass consumption. I do not believe this is Nolan's fault as I doubt he had final cut status for the film. In general, Hollywood underestimates the intelligence of the movie going public and tends to just throw explosions and nudity at them in place of good plot. Though there was no nudity in this film, I feel that this film did not fulfill it's full potential for the sake of more action. A good discussion about crime and evil would have given Bruce Wayne believable motivation for becoming Batman. The whole ""a burglar shot my parents"" motive could have been done better. I had a hard time empathizing with Bruce Wayne as a result.

The acting in the film was as good as the dialog allowed. I always find Liam Neeson's acting rather poor, and this film was no exception. Neeson's character in this was only slightly different from that of his character in Star Wars Episode I. I found his character and the whole ""league of shadows"" very cheesy.

In general I would not recommend this movie to anyone.",3
"This is a remarkable film for succeeding in bringing together great actors around a mediocre script and an unoriginal idea. The film is too clever by halves. It has no soul. It's all style over substance. The setting is glitzy, brash and vulgar. It is form without content. Gosh, I absolutely loved the old Agatha Christie whodunnits with Hercules Poirot et al that this and Knives Out are obviously an homage (of sorts) to - they had charm and wit and panache, but this is just surface gloss. My wife walked out after 20 minutes but I stuck it through, thinking it had to get better... but it didn't. The problem is: one doesn't care. Not for any of the characters. They're two-dimensional. Sterotypes. I think I can just about remember the unoriginal ending but I hope to forget to all soon...",1
"Dunkirk is over-saturated with close-ups on actors, unnecessary filler, plagued by a pointless plot that goes absolutely nowhere, and leaves the audience wondering what in the world they had just watched. The French were merely alluded to, and the Germans barely made appearance.

At least, one could say that there was an attempt at making a different kind of war film. Opposed to showing the grit and highlighting the horrors of war, Dunkirk tried to be a war-drama - It did not work. A slow, impotent script, plus a boring, uncompelling cast of characters leaves me no choice but to poorly rate a film that should have been a masterpiece.

If I told you that the first twenty minutes of a movie follows two men running around carrying a stretcher, would you want to go see it? I would pray your response would be no. Suspense is a beautiful thing while being done correctly, but if by an hour into a movie the viewer is still wondering: ""When is something going to happen?"", there is well beyond too much suspense.

There was a lot of history to grasp from, including the inner turmoil that Dunkirk stirred among the Nazis. There was Churchill's famous speech, the French, whom helped a hell of a lot more than what the movie showed. This movie seemed little more than patriotic, as if the British are pining for more praise.

What seemed like a highlight reel of pretty camera shots, actor head- shots, and fancy editing tricks, missed the mark entirely. A war movie should make it's audience sad, maybe even a little angry. All Dunkirk did or me was made me feel immensely disappointed. This movie is not worth your money, and frankly, is unmemorable. Just watch Black Hawk Down or Hacksaw Ridge if you want to watch a decent war film. You'll get way more out of those two films.

Cheers.",4
It is such a negative and depressing movie. I wanted to leave half way through it but my wife wanted to finish it since we paid for the tickets.,2
"Very good acting and beautiful direction. Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch are both shining through these roles and make the perfect twins. This series is adventurous and humorous at the same time and very pleasant to watch. Also suitable for children too, in my opinion. I would definitely watch it again!",8
"This is one of the top rated film of the recent months. I went into it with higher expectations. True, it is funny and dark, with an engaging ensemble cast. Daniel Craig's southern detective didn't really shine. None of the large suspected knives out-ers were likeable. The one who shines is Anna de Armas, the young Cuban actress who played the maid. The movie is entertaining but seems trying a bit too hard to prove the point.",7
"Despite all his movements and locations , we still don't know how Wick travelled to Morocco ! We never see him sleep , eat or even have a bath or toilet !! This super human character seems to survive on being shot , stabbed all over in Africa and Brooklyn (no LA here !) preferably in dark areas and stables ! I think I enjoyed most the scene where Wick is riding a horse ( no French Connection chase here ! ) chased by two motorcyclists who could barely catch up with him ! Hmm ...",2
"Awesome movie . Storyline direction is too good. Actors acting is superb speciallys Anupam Khers and Manoj bajpayee . They have given absolutely true message that 99 percent people are earning in black money example industrialist , politicans, film stars, police officers, prime minister's ,. President's etc. They are not proper tax payers. That's why they are leading luxurious life style and getting protection from police and we public's are doing worship of them. They are hiding their money in house walls so that no one can notice that they have lots of money. These movie is based on real life incident.",10
"The movie is kind of good, but feels like has seen most of the horror scenes before.
Out of the 3 Annabelle, this is my least favorite.
Direction, camera and acting is good.
Final score - 5.4/10. WATCHABLE",5
"Bandersnatch gave me hope season 5 would be so good, guess the mindblowing twists and stories have been used up... what a shame!",5
"As the movie started I got excited by the camera shots and choice of music. By the end I struggled not to turn it off. I just kept moaning out loud, when will this END, and when it did I was more mad than relieved since I wasted two hours that I could have spent vacuuming. What a torture of a plot. I think Ben Affleck re-wrote the screen play until he could get in all the movies he ever wanted to direct about Boston. Man....twist and turns that made no sense and all with a heavy Boston accent. Ben...have kids and leave the movie business to your wife! On the good side, I like the acting by Casey Affleck and Michelle Monaghan. Morgan Freeman played Morgan Freeman playing Morgan Freeman, his usual...I still like him. Ed Harris - Fabulous.

Its the story, the plot, the execution.......oooh - just torture....that is all I can say. I gave it a two because I dislike the word awful.

If you like a good story....pass this one up....it is just not worth your time..

Must watch movie with family. A beautiful combination of entertainment with nice social message. Very smartly used raw talent. Mr. Amitabh is great as usual. Happy to see him in this role. Great music and great storyline and direction!!!!,10
"This is my first review ever. IMDB viewing reviews are great. I've found many a gem from reviewing other people's comments on a series or movie that I know little about. I do so for all good decent Sci Fi watchers out there. I've watched most things that show the future p, especially off world.

However - Don't lose hours of your life on this series that you won't simply get back. You will regret it.

Looks great - storyline is insipid at best. Watch 'the Expanse' again or the first time if you haven't.

Keep on, keeping on!",2
"Thrilling and action-packed superhero film that pits the Avengers against each other in a conflict of ideologies.

The film showcases the rift between Captain America, played by Chris Evans, and Iron Man, portrayed by Robert Downey Jr., as they lead opposing factions within the Avengers. This internal struggle creates a captivating and emotionally charged narrative that keeps viewers engaged from start to finish.

Chris Evans delivers a compelling performance as Captain America, staying true to the character's unwavering sense of duty and loyalty. On the other hand, Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayal of Iron Man adds a layer of complexity, capturing the weight of his personal demons and responsibility.

Captain America: Civil War excels in its ensemble cast, as it introduces new characters like Black Panther, portrayed by Chadwick Boseman, and Spider-Man, played by Tom Holland. Each character is seamlessly integrated into the story, adding depth and excitement to the film.

The action sequences are nothing short of spectacular, with the epic showdown between the Avengers being a standout moment. The film's direction and choreography make every battle sequence feel dynamic and impactful.

Beyond the action, Captain America: Civil War explores deep themes of accountability, friendship, and the consequences of superhuman powers on the world. This elevates the film beyond a typical superhero blockbuster and gives it substance and relevance.

While some may argue that the large cast of characters could have resulted in uneven screen time, the film manages to balance each character's arc and provide them with meaningful moments.

In conclusion, Captain America: Civil War is a superbly crafted superhero film that successfully combines action, drama, and thought-provoking themes. With its stellar cast, intense action sequences, and a gripping narrative, it's a movie that satisfies both fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and newcomers alike.

If you're a fan of superhero films with complex characters and emotional stakes, Captain America: Civil War is a must-watch.",7
This is one of the best works of netflix ever!! Season 1 and season 2 are totally mind blowing but they should it there with season the plot of show is gone. But respect for this series definitely the one,7
"I used to sit back when watching Avengers and think ""I can't believe we are seeing this on the big screen."" Years later, I still find myself thinking that, but now instead of 20 characters on screen fighting, it is the fun, mysterious and uncanny storylines that keep me intrigued. Comic book knowledge is not necessary, but it definitely amplifies the hype for this series. Can't wait for more MCU shows to arrive.",8
"They had a chance to make a real epic movie with some weight and instead they decided to make a (somewhat cheesy) comedy.

It was fun but is only a shadow of the potential of what this movie could have been.",4
"The fantasy genre is perhaps my favourite from across film, tv and books so when I saw a new fantasy series by Netflix I thought I'd Witcher a go. I thought that if I liked the series then there was a book series that I could get into afterwards.

However, the series was so poorly executed. As someone new to the whole world I was so confused for a majority of it, the changing timelines with no title cards, the characters who never seem to age that doesn't help in that regard, the overall cheap look of the show and the general poor writing. One key thing that fantasy series need to get right is to aid new comers into their world so that the viewers/readers get used to it, this doesn't happen here. It's all over the place with writing, characters and narratives.

Why the showrunner thought using Memento as a basis for how to structure the show I'll neber know.

And while I like Henry Cavill, his voice in the series is just bad. Instead of sounding natural it sounds like a character in that world who is attempting to sound tougher by putting that voice on.",5
"It is a haunting and brutal portrait of one of the greatest sins in human history. The performances are stellar, the writing spot on and direction pitch perfect.",8
I don't remember the last time I was this hooked to a television show I am in awe thank you Marvel Universe for green lighting this my biggest worry is that this could potentially be the best of what's to come and I can only hope otherwise.,9

after a long time may be after Lagaan,Mr$Mrs.Iyer I felt really nice to see this movie

When the trend is to show more skin,with unknown and unthinkable logic This movie stands different ..

Its a movie who ever watches will appreciate ..

Costumes were simple, who ever acted in the movie acted to the point trying to make it art work ... and We should appreciate the team work in bringing such a movie ...

Congrats to the team and my best wishes ...

Hope this will bring a trend of making movie for the sake of making it a art piece than a currency note ...

Like others I wanted to like this re-boot. But WTF? Who writes this kind of crap? I couldn't make through the first 3 episodes.,1
"Not sure about these comments on Ellen Page though. Her acting is inline with her character arc and I thought one of the better efforts. At the halfway point of season 1 hers is a depressing backstory of an ostracized sibling and she is playing that to perfection. We've all seen the wallflower \ blossom storyline countless times before (which I guess where he character is headed) but it's a good job.

After 1-2 episodes you don't really care for any character however over time and with more backstory this does eventuate.

Enjoyable so far.",8
"This movie is the same of always, was boring, the ""screamers"" are so predectibles, the story it's simple and good, but slow, the best is Mckenna Grace she was so good, and michael cimino have goods scenes but the others guys are just nice, and have a little comedy, the warren's house was something new and good but at the end is the same, the idea starts good with introduces news demons and ghosts but ends awful and is obvious that this is for make movies about these demons",5
"This is the problem with Netflix. Great for creators, bad for viewers. Anyone with a camera can put content on there. There's no quality standard, no curation or vetting process (unlike HBO) so you have poor storytelling, poor writing, and general wishy-washy storytelling. The first episode was all over the place. Characters weren't introduced properly (it was like they expected you to know who they were) and the world of the witcher was barely explored. Fights start happening with little reason, dialogue is flat, and some set pieces were way too sterile (the castle was so clean it might as well have been a hospital). The only good thing was the sword fight scene near the end and the creature CGI at the beginning.",2
"What we have here is a throwback to the old murder-mystery shows that used to be a staple diet on tv back in the day. Nothing offensive, and really centred round some bickering family with more money than sense.

Set in a handsome mansion, the multitude of characters are delightfully posh but all underneath are just trying to grab whatever money they can. Into this is our detective played by Daniel Craig, and the rest is like a ensemble party of lots of great old names like Don Johnson and Lee Curtis albeit with some of the new crowd too.

Is it any good? Well, it's underwhelming but will get the interest going as it does feel kind of nostalgic for the whodunnit genre. It's well acted, doesn't take itself seriously, and in a Scooby Doo way it's fun to watch.

Problem is that, for a long movie it doesn't offer much intrigue or much to ponder. It's at least something that it's NOT another superhero movie but I wanted something more cerebral especially when you have the quality of cast this director had at hand.

It's a fine film for a weekend movie when stuck at home. Just sit back and enjoy the film but don't expect much more of it than that.",5
The chemistry between Owen Wilson and Tom Hiddleston is amazing and one of my favourites in the entire MCU. The show does a good job keeping you on the edge of your seat for the entire episode and so far it has lived up to my expectations.,9
"A major theme of Interstellar is how Humanity has lost its naturally inquisitive mind and its sense of adventure. Writer, director, producer Christopher Nolan tries to recapture that on a cinematic level with audiences, reintroducing them to why we fell in love with films such as 2001: A Space Odyssey and Star Wars. Many of Nolan's films have captured this sense of awe and wonder in spectators, a main reason to why he has such a beloved following. The Prestige and Inception are the key examples of this; we see characters astounded by inventions, worlds and ideas. Interstellar shows us characters astounded by the great vastness of space and out space in it, someone everyone fears and are drawn to. A usual trick Nolan employs in his films is his use of time. Most evidently in Inception and Memento, but now Nolan has gained access to a narrative structured around the theory of relativity. Any audience member familiar with this will know this film will get complicated. Yet as the film goes on and time becomes more crucial to the plot, the more the film treats its audience like a child. The detrimental fact that has dogged Nolan's films for years is the overuse of expositional dialogue. Near the end of the film, when we are entering 2001 levels of un-clarity, we literally have two characters explain everything. I was completely removed from the experience as this happened, feeling as though the characters were talking to us rather than themselves. This leads to some very Hollywood climaxes. Sometimes not getting all the answers is what makes a story last long after the credits roll, this is something Kubrick understood but clearly Nolan has yet to learn. Despite this, Interstellar is indeed full of spectacle and amazement that any space adventure should offer. It instils both the excitement and fear such an endeavour would have on a person. The wormhole scene solidifies this with a brilliantly nauseating sequence. However my personal favourite shot was when Romilly was given the tropical forest track to remind him of Earth. It plays over a shot of Saturn which was a completely new and unique way of looking at space for me. I fears Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity would undermine the effects of the film, I was mistaken. Nolan has opted for a more classic cinematic view of space. Another clear homage to 2001: A Space Odyssey, which is done throughout the film even in the monolithic shaped A.I of TARS. On the whole the performances were excellent, specifically from Matthew McConaughey and Jessica Chastain. The linchpin to the film is the father/daughter relationship throughout it. If there is any element in this you do not enjoy, the rest of the film will suffer from it. However for me it was portrayed very emotionally and powerfully. And in general all its flaws included this was an impressive spectacle of our place in the Universe and Humanity. This sadly was not the next 2001 however I am more than grateful it wasn't the next Prometheus.",7
"The problem with many, many superhero films in this day and age is that with each and every single one, the fantasy element seems to decrease. there is a worrying amount of realism applied to these films. lotr, the star wars trilogy, the matrix, even sin city, were all excellent because the film makers crafted a thoroughly believable fantasy world that absorbed us. batman begins sucks because it is based entirely within the real world (gotham city could just as well be new york, LA, even London or Paris).

when in reality, if a guy dresses up in a rubber suit, as a 'bat', and starts to fight crime, he'd be arrested for being a pervert/ vigilante or both, and would get sent down to the loony bin for life.

many fans of comic books, or 'geeks', as i like to call them, have got to understand that comic books exist as pure fantasy and nothing else. I have noticed, esp. since harry Knowles aicn, that a lot of emphasis has come into making super hero films real and dramatic. Could you imagine if the lotr or star wars trilogy were treated as gritty dramas rather than the outstanding piece of genre film making that they are? Theyd be terrible.

There is one scene in batman begins that seems especially ludicrous. commissioner Gordon (played by a wasted Gary oldman) is seen having a dead pan conversation with a guy dressed as a giant rubber bat, and doesn't seem to batter an eyelid. The scene is played out for real, and like the rest of the film we are expected to believe, without any clever twists, that this could really happen. When without all the explosions, action and SFX, the film would be nothing.

If these 'geeks' want their fantasy films and nothing else, then so be it. If they want human drama, realism, plausibility mixed with the surreal, watch either classic 70s films such as taxi driver, clockwork orange, apocalypse now, day of the locust, David lynch films, or Japanese horrors such as uzumaki. a gritty drama about a giant rubber bat is kinda pushing things a bit too far.",4
"That is a typical example of a movie trying to squeeze juice out of a story that falls short. X-men finished their old-cast franchise so much better, and darker, and better (sorry did I say better before...), yeah much better. Endgame is simply not up to par with the rest of the Marvell movies.",3
The plot was good set in both 1933 and 1918. The movie features several flash backs to show what happened during and shortly after the war. It Follows a group of soldiers and a nurse that were accused of murdering a soldiers daughter while investigating the murder of her father. They then had to convince multiple wealthy people and a general to help clear their name. Acting was top notch. Both Christian Bale and John David Washington where great in this movie. For a longer movie there was no down time. Parts of the movie were based on a true story. It is a definite must see movie. You will not leave disappointed.,9
"""Shaft"" is an icon and so was the original movie that came out in 1971. Richard Roundtree changed the narrative of the black leading man by playing a crime crusader for the people. We fast forward to 2019 and this latest incarnation of Shaft. Samuel L. Jackson is back as John Shaft Jr. and this time he's not only fighting crime but having to face his parenting failures.

Jessie T. Usher formerly of ""Survivor's Remorse"" joins the franchise as J.J Shaft. He's everything his father isn't. He's polite, politically correct, respectful to women and works for the man. Regina Hall is Maya Babanikos Shaft's ex-wife and JJ's mom. Tying in the old to the new is Richard Roundtree as the original bad mutha but this time in a supporting role. I now have stated all the good things about this movie the cast.

The plot is a mix-up of terrorist, drug addict mixed in with veterans suffering PTSD. This starts off a series of events connecting father and son to notorious drug pin Gordito. There was an opportunity for some great storytelling, however, it was never executed. JJ is everything Shaft Jr isn't. He grew up in the suburbs, attended college and is a data analyst for the FBI. He solves crimes via intelligence, unlike his father who likes to knock heads. JJ was sheltered and protected by his mother. John Jr. wasn't coddled. So naturally, upon the first contact, it sets up for a humorous interaction. So please explain why the writers opted to go for predictable dialogue. We know that Shaft is a lady's man, but did we really need to see him with glitter around his mouth. Also, the usage of the P word as in cat to assess JJ's manhood also didn't help matters.

Regina Hall coming off a great year was misused in this film. She has great comedic timing but was relegated to a chick role. In other words, she wasn't given much to do. Alexander Shipp is Sasha Aries JJ's childhood friend and crush. She too was relegated to playing pretty.

Wait it gets worse. There's great banter between Father and Son as they try to get to know each other while solving the said crime. The sad part is that it's clouded amongst homophobia and misogyny. If this were 1974 this might work but it's 2019. You can make a movie about a sexy private eye without resorting to frat humor. I have given up on getting quality from Samuel L. Jackson. It's obvious he's check chasing however Reginal Hall and Jessie T. Usher deserved better. Kenya Barris yes ""Blackish"" creator helped pen this juvenile script. Shaft provides a few chuckles but is it worth the price of admission. The answer is a hard NO. Don't even rent this just wait for it to appear on HBO or BET.

This is just a colossal waste of time.

Scale: This movie receives a two for horrendous.",2
"I seriously can't compute, how is that possible for such below-average show to get rating as high as other really good shows out there. I will admit I only watched season 1, episode 1 to 6, and I promise I tried really hard to developed the interest, but I can't. It wears me down and makes me want to put my fingers through my eyes, into my brain, and swirl around. Hoping for premature stroke, as it will be far better than another second of it.

Characters are childish, border line annoying, and the whole script seem like it was written by 15 year.

Perhaps I'm getting old, or this show is just another Rebecca Black and Justin Bieber phenomenon. Despite major unpopularity, there is still huge fan base, god only knows why. Now, if you don't mind, I like to kill myself. Reaching episode 6, made me not want to live on this planet anymore.",1
"This is, almost purely, a character and actor review.

Jack Quaid: Comes across as both naive, sensitive and as a man with a mission - he just keeps getting better and better. Karl Urban: Plays the same gritty/violent/edgy character he's played so many times before - for the love of Bob, give his character more depth - he can do it! Antony Starr: Wow... talk about a total uplift! This guy has really raised his game here. Erin Moriarty: Awesome ability. This is a lady to watch. Dominique McElligott: Excellent - pity that her role was so poorly implemented. No depth of character whatsoever. Jessie T. Usher: Again - not enough depth for the actor to gain momentum (pun intended) - but one to watch out for. Chace Crawford: Brilliant performance - despite the script doing truly weird event turns with his character. (Obviously someone wants him gone.) Tomer Capon - Absolutely wonderful. At times I could almost believe that he was talking from personal experience. Bravo! Laz Alonso - Good performance within the narrow bounds of the (clichéd) writing - not his fault, you can only work with the lines drawn. Elisabeth Shue: Fantastic as always - though, again, the characterisation was a little stilted. Simon Pegg - A British actor with a remarkable film career of his own... and you can see and hear the experience that allowed him to take a 'bit' role and make it his own. Jennifer Esposito: Why, oh why did she bother? Surely this fine actress could have been better utilised... what a waste of her and our time.

Overall: Despite the lack of depth of any of the characters (and realising that these are not 3 hour long episodes) - the show is superb. It's extremely rare to find something new these days... mostly it's just a rehash of the same boring old themes. So far, this series has comedy and action - I hope to see some actual drama and pathos soon - and more rounded characters. This series is great - it could be groundbreaking - so go for it, please!",1
"Abel Morales owns a Heating Oil Co whose trucks are being hijacked, causing the loss of plenty of money just when it's trying to expand. Morales gets himself deeper and deeper in trouble, as he refuses to answer violence with violence.

Truth to be told, the trailer and the title cheat quite a bit: If you're looking for a very violent gangster movie, with plenty of bloody and explicit scenes, this is not your film. If you're expecting fast paced action or a new Godfather like film, you're up for a disappointment.

That being said, this is a pretty good film, with very strong performances, where tension grows up as time goes by. The pace is quite slow, but if you like this kind of movies, you're in for a treat. Now, don't be fooled. Despite the slow pace, several scenes will make your heart rate's race.

The image quality and cinematography are good, despite some kind of weird yellowish tone in certain scenes. Sound is good, but a bit low.

Despite the misleading advertising, this is a movie I would recommend.",7
"La La Land since its release has received a lot of praise and due from critics and award shows, having earning several Oscar awards as well as other prestigious awards. Just as with every film that received high praise from critics and wins a ton of awards, there will be a lot of backlash and critics among casual movie goers alike. For those whom don't like too much musicals may not enjoy this film as this film offers plenty in that area. The story is well decent and the acting and visuals complete it. La La Land is quite decent but the story is something in which we have seen before (at times the film reminds of a musical version of the Notebook). Was not much of a fan of some of the musicals they had as one found them to be not as interesting and forgettable. Overall, if you are not a fan of old fashion type musicals, or predictable romance stories, La Land Land may not be for you, as one should not try to force the film to enjoy it.",6
I liked this movie. I went in not expecting much so that usually helps. I love horror movies and it is rare to find one that is very good now a days. The first fifty minutes didn't have a whole lot going on but once it got going I really enjoyed it. Definitely worth a$6 rental if your bored some night.,7
"Before watching there was skepticism that from such an obviously experimental adaptation, by the standards of including the conversion of a game into a movie and vice versa, and on top of everything being released on a not-so-well-known streaming service, something worthwhile could come out of it (in particular knowing the fact how ""Altered Carbon"" (2018) ended, which also once began quite cheerfully), but so far the overall impression is relatively positive.

Among the advantages can note the general correspondence of the surroundings to the original one, rarity by today's standards, colorful characters, many references, and also the fact that the movie partly resembles a kind of mixture of ""Judgment Day"" (2008) and ""The Book of Eli"" (2009). On the other hand, there is enough of the now fashionable, dubious pun, regardless of the specifics and context of the series itself, flashbacks, where would we be without them, and predictable, standard drama, while in the mentioned two films, which at one time were not objective something outstanding, this kind of ""obligatory elements"" was not observed, which in many ways, despite all the flaws, made them interesting, as well as distinguishes them favorably from today. The latter is sometimes called an unofficial adaptation of the Fallout series, while the former, I think, is quite acceptable to be called a free adaptation of Rage (2011), before the actual release of it, although the theme and surroundings are certainly not unique. The soundtrack is rather secondary and has little in common with what the series offered, two games from which are available on PC.

The format itself probably introduces some limitations, as does the timing. Who today would watch a purely dark, melancholy story, where a lonely traveler is pursued by a mysterious, mad ice cream man and the further east you go, here to some extent following the Fallout paradigm, the more bizarre? Instead the main character is provided with a partner, and, as usual, she must be impulsive and hysterical. By definition, there cannot be any other ""options"", a cheerful beginning and ending, but episodes that sag in the middle.

In a conventional game with an open world, it could probably be different, as proven by the same Mad Max (2015), which is not similar to anything else, including the ""ideological original,"" but in a modern series it is not. The sum of these factors once again makes it clear that it is clearly not worth waiting for any truly original projects, as well as the same adaptations, both today and in the foreseeable future, while in the past there were projects like the same ""Duel"" (1972), published more than fifty years ago, took place.

The theme of the tournament itself, where any wish of the surviving winner will be fulfilled, remains untouched in the first season - by and large it serves only as a free prehistory to it, revealing different, but not all, personalities involve and the plan is to cover it directly in the second season, if it comes to it in future.",7
"So far there has only been 3 episodes, I think that the Black panther as star lord had the strongest plot line so far. I'm excited for further episodes but it has been a little disappointing so far.",7
"I did not much about the movie other than what I got from the trailer, like a hand that takes over people with spirits and thinking it would just be a standard possession movie; after watching the movie, I found out that it more than a simple possession movie and it had more to it than I thought. The movie Talk to Me (2023) was a chilling, disturbing, interesting, and creepy horror movie that might be my favorite horror movie of the year 2023 compared to the other horror movies I have seen this year.

Actor Sophie Wilde did a fantastic job playing the main character Mia; you feel bad for her when she is dealing with the loss of her mother from something awful and when she is dealing with the many horrific stuff after interacting with the embalmed hand to conjure spirits. The group teenagers Mia was a part of dealing with the hand was interesting on how they would use it a lot when you do not want them to touch it anymore, especially when stuff goes down as the movie progresses and it starts affecting them in disturbing ways. Also, whenever they decide to group together to use the embalmed hand to conjure spirits like it is a game, it makes you wonder how the hand works and how it can connect the living to the dead whenever they use it.

The embalmed hand is simple looking, but it does have some kind of disturbing look to it so you can fear it whenever it comes on screen; I mostly liked how it worked and how they used it to talk to the spirits or get taken over by them and to end the connection by following certain rules. The movie starts like a normal possession movie, but as the movie progresses it becomes unique and violent in many ways involving the possessions or from misunderstandings from certain things that happen. Also, the designs of the spirits that appear are creepy, disturbing along with cool uses of cinematography to make moments creepy.

The third act climax was interesting and disturbing on how it played out, and the ending was chilling and surprising to watch. Talk to Me (2023) is a horror movie I highly recommend watching for how unique, creepy, disturbing, and interesting the movie is with how the embalmed hand is used to conjure up spirits, but also how the teenagers using the hand can get addicted to something that is not good for them. One of my favorite horror movies is to come out in the year 2023; give it watch when you can because I would like this movie to be talked about and shown to more people so we can more original horror movies like this.",8
No one should such disrespectful for anyone's country or elite force! They actually forsaken Bangladesh elite forces 😏,7
Finally it has come to an end. No idea whatsoever why I have watched these very merican action movies. Do yourself a favour and watch paint dry instead. The entire movie I was wondering: What the hell is going on now... Maybe it could have saved the movie if they had cut down on the cost of the special effects and payed for a decent manuscript. Who knows. Another thought... Why can anyone but Thor carry mjølner? If anyone find these magic stones please undo this movie. Thanks.,3
"Well produced, high-budget, pop-corn trash.

There are Korean Z-tier horror flicks with more kick.",1
"Although I can give a lot of leeway to a horror film,the lack of any innovation or inventiveness dooms this film.",2
"I cannot speak to the accuracy of what is presented in Chernobyl. All I can attest to is its entertainment value. The series should leave you sobered and saddened. Episode 5 is especially powerful and emotional. Overall it is quite well made, though it maybe falls short of the masterpiece we have been led to believe that it is.",7
"Considering it's meant to be a comedy, Jojo Rabbit lacks enough jokes to sustain the entertainment for nearly two hours. Perhaps that's just a sign of these dreary repressive age we are living in, where jokes are considered so potentially offensive, that writers fear to employ them. They did invoke irony though, for example the film opens with a Beatles song then later there is a scene reminiscent of one of those Beatles bonfires they would hold twenty years later in the Great Satan. And then Adolf didn't have strikingly blue eyes, whereas Elsa did. This was about as amusing as SNL, but unlike SNL it was ""so white"". I didn't notice any GIs of color or oriental Soviets and who is mandating stormtroopers and Gestapo officers have to be played by white men? If you really want to watch humorous drama with an Aotearoan touch, you'd be better off watching the Brokenwood Mysteries.",3
Netflix has really done it again. It truly is an amazing show and the actors are great! The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is because the first few episodes are kind of confusing.,9
"Just...where do you start with this tired hackneyed kind of film? One where you've seen every scene before, multiple times (and not just in this franchise) and yet they keep making it. And we keep watching it!

Ok so there's a mysterious online entity, baddies who drive black cars and are just everywhere...all the time, intelligence agents all talking in turn to explain the plot, a mysterious (bad) blonde oriental type woman oh, and a British female lead, (and she's an orphan), a party in Venice of course, and a destructive car chase through a major city, just again and again...the same film made so many times. This could be yet another Fast & Furious movie, a Daniel Craig Bond film or a Bourne snore fest and we wouldn't blink.

This one is different in that it's longer than most others, at two and a half hours or more. It's time to retire this franchise. And Tom Cruise just looks like he's had enough...even he can't carry it anymore.",2
"Enjoyable in parts as story unfolds story of individual characters.

It's treat to watch Pankaj Tripathi and Raj Kumar Rao.

Fatima Sana Shaikh is surprise package here, looks stunningly beautiful.

"I had to make an account just so i could write this and bring some balance back too the review score of this show which as it stands now is ridiculous. It is also not a 1 star either like some people have given there are some good parts they are just few and far between,read the books for the proper experience this show is but a shadow compared to the source material. Even Netflix which i hate did better than i expected but i don't think anyone no matter what the budget could of pulled a 10/10 Witcher series off some things are better left alone,compared to the source material which they have taken severe liberties with i give it a 5 star it is not terrible neither is it good it is just average,the things in it that are good are evened out by things which are just as bad,the casting is a joke with some characters but Freya and Henry did a good job,some of the cinematography is excellent while some sets look cheap,i could of done without the Yennefer backstory it was briefly mentioned in one short story that she was an hunchback they could of focused on other things they completely left out. Some fight scenes looked really good while some of the cgi looked amateur and on it goes,it was never going to please everyone but like i said it was a decent effort but 10/10 come on lets be real.",5
"The movie has certain scenes which will make you scared, but it is not like previous movies of Conjuring universe",7
"The movie was good. But it does not live up to the hype. They will tell you that it was shot with IMAX cameras and what not. But it doesn't really look stunning on the IMAX screen. Besides that, the audio reproduced very well the sounds one hears in a war quite well. That unfortunately does not work very well, when you want to hear and understand what people are saying. I was able to understand what was going on for the most part, even though I missed a good part of what people were saying. It was too loud and just not worth the money - I was hoping to see some good cinematography.",7
"There are no spoilers in this and I suggest you watch this show, but if you haven't already seen the show, my review is basically you should watch it, but don't read this review and just review it for yourself, I feel you get the effect of the show better.

So I'm a fan of anime and I have watched many animes and generally enjoy them all. Maybe I'm just easily entertained, but nonetheless, a friend of mine suggested this to me and I gave it a shot. And to be perfectly honest I was blown away, like blown away away. I can't even describe the intensity of this show and I felt a huge urge to share it with anyone and everyone I knew who watched anime, so I did. I had never done that before with any of the animes I've watched. I also didn't tell them how amazing this show was because I wanted them to see it in all its splendor for themselves, while usually when I like a show I just say its good. Every episode I pretty much freaked out and made noises out loud from how hype this show is. It is now my favorite show of all time and I can't even describe how awesome this show is. People who do not like the show are just very very confused.",5
"I have to admit that there are a few action scenes in the middle that make me feel good, but this kind of tough guy saves children is too common.",6
"Let me start by saying I am a huge Wolverine and Marvel universe fan.

After all the hype I was excited to watch this film but personally I just didn't like it, which disappointed me. I go to the cinema to be entertained not to be depressed. I found the whole film portrayed a miserable old Wolverine in a dark place, surely when you are over 200 years old you would have figured out how to enjoy life instead of wasting it moping around.

It was violent and I have no issue with that and some of the scenes were superb, The acting was also very good from all involved, but I found the film took itself far to seriously and was too preachy.

If I go to the cinema to see a super-hero or anti-hero movie I don't need it to be believable and realistic and I do not need the point of the movie rammed down my throat, its supposed to be far fetched and unbelievable to stretch your imagination and let you work out your own point of the movie.

I just feel this film is a demonstration of a character misunderstood by the contract owner and how they would feel if they were in Wolverines shoes.

To sum up.. Too preachy, too miserable & too dumbed-down to be a properly enjoyable anti-hero movie.",5
"I enjoyed both seasons. I see many keep whining about season 2: new plots, new characters, not according to the book.. blablablaaaa. I didnt even know that there was a book. I watched the show, i liked the action, the effects, the story. It makes you feel like you are living a fairy take itself. For me is a 9 out 10!",9
"Seasons 1 and 2 were very enjoyable and gave them a 9 and an 8 respectively... albeit a few nuances here and there.

Season 3 overall was rubbish. The main story arc from the start was a Good concept to explore this time around and they handled an important social change very cleanly and tactfully, but the writing and forced story events were so poorly done it completely pulled the series down. Either the writing team had been completely replaced, the writers never had their work checked over, or those who ""approved"" such terrible scripts were not interested in providing a quality show and more interested in cutting corners and pumping something out quickly, regardless of the negative impact the poor writing would bring.",4
"Wow, what a letdown! The best picture nomination is misplaced on 1917. The movie lacked an interesting plot, meaningful action, any kind of character development, and overall watchability. There are long stretches of complete boredom while watching the movie. Aside from some good camera work while walking through trenches, it was truly a mediocre movie.",5
"Thor never seemed like the type of super-hero that could charm the screen. It was, the now infamous scene that takes place after the credits in Iron Man 2, that got me excited. As time went on, hearing Kenneth Branagh had directed the film and seeing some pretty exciting trailers, I thought Thor was going to be the hit of the summer, worthy of kicking ass over Micheal Bay's Transformers, but no.

Thor is unbelievably mediocre. Between the story of Thor, which if you're going to see the movie you most likely already know, and what is shown in the trailer, anyone could close their eyes and imagine exactly what you're going to see, almost shot for shot. Some people would call this a good movie, I can it horribly unimaginative.

The film, even when lacking in action, never lacks in trying to squeeze every possible laugh of it's audience, as guilty as a television sitcom. Branagh also heavily relies on the pretty boy looks of his leading man, hoping to distract us with Thor's contagious smile so we not take notice at how badly written the dialogue is.

Even in 3D, there is nothing that comes through the screen and is common feel through-out the audience. The kids wowed at the special effects, the girls giggled and smiled and the rest of us, hoping it's going to get better.",3
Repeating for Same style of Old Era ( Hercules & Xena ) .. with different magic world ..,2
"Bollywood has had its share of love triangles. Does Cocktail have something fresh to offer or it's just an old drink in a new glass?

Meera (Diana Penty) is a traditional Indian girl in London who meets the London bred and oh so sexy Veronica (Deepika Padukone) by chance. They gain from each other's contrasting personality and friendship blooms. Gautam (Saif Ali Khan) the happy and getting lucky with women kind of a guy falls for Deepika and he gets friendly with her best friend Diana. As it so happens in real life, Saif develops feelings for his girlfriend's best friend Diana too. Cocktail is the story of friendship that will undergo a litmus test, of love, heartburn and heart breaks. Does friendship supersede love or love prevails over friendship? Was the best friend bond wafer thin? And can anyone 'rise' in love? I won't tell you. Watch the movie ;)

The movie has lots going for it. The introduction of Saif, Diana and Deepika is flawless. Their camaraderie is so enjoyable you get simmered in their funny and frolicking ways. What happens then is a realistic depiction of problems between friends about love and companionship. You are bound to identify with the highs and lows it takes you through. The second half is marginally stretched and could have been trimmer but that, would be nit picking.

Saif has played such roles earlier. As such this is not a fresh character for him but Gautam Kapoor is his best portrayal of what he does best - a cute, fun to be with and innocent character. He portrays it with finesse, in comedy scenes and the dramatic ones. Deepika sizzles as a sexy rich brat. She looks hot and is unstoppable as Veronica. Her depiction of a wild child caught in an emotional web is praise worthy. Diana's debut couldn't have been better. Perfectly casted, she is never out of character and manages to hold her own even with experienced actors like Saif and Deepika. The seniors, Boman Irani as Saif's mama and Dimple Kapadia as Saif's mother are very good too. Randeep Hooda even in a very short role is good.

A great cocktail needs the right mix. Imtiaz Ali's script not only delivers but packs a punch! Here's an example of what an excellent script can do. The intelligent dialogues guarantees laughs and keep the mix tangy. Pritam's 'Tum hi ho bandhu' is already a rage and 'Jugni' too is an outstanding song. Anil Mehta captures the beautiful locales well and Sreekar Prasad's editing is crisp. Anaita Adajania deserves a special mention for the apt costumes and making Deepika look her sexiest self.

Director, mixologist Homi Adajania should be credited for getting this mix spot on. He treats the excellent script and dialogues with élan, adds great music and extracts superlative performances from his actors. This Cocktail is a fresh take on love triangles set in the contemporary milieu and is so refreshing, you might even ask for a repeat. A great watch whether with friends, best friend, girlfriend, boyfriend, love interest or your ex! Grab your seat now!

Watch for: A thoroughly enjoyable contemporary and mature love story. Watch out for: Performances. Don't watch if: Nai yaar. Go watch.",10
"Finally a Netflix original I like. Ok it is a bit of a standard Hollywood sitcom (could've done without the ""it's all gone really bad, but things turn out well"" part everyone of these sitcoms have), but I certainly enjoyed this. A funny up to date cluedo with some pretty good jokes and mystery convincingly brought. The characters are cliche as hell as they should be in this kind of movie. I bumped upon this in the recommendations and gave it a go. I warmly recommend if you are looking for some good entertainment.",6

All of the cast were excellent. It's very funny & clever & a joy to watch. The soundrack by Laura Karpman is exceptional & it's a disgrace that she was up for an award. I don't want to talk about the plot because I enjoyed watching a film that I knew nothing about, I always read reviews this had passed my by.",10
"Review By Kamal K

I love the idea of a ""what if?"" show, showing multiple different possible timelines. They did great on the principle of the idea. But it seems that they forgot all about that principle the minute they actually started making the show.

Utterly boring stories with low stakes, endless setup and long expositions. Feels like a waste of talent.

Pros -

Absolutely beautiful animation and visuals, some of the best color work I've seen.",4
"The premise for Avatar is a great one, the universe is brilliant, the animation is very good, but that's all. It seems like the creators don't quite know how to handle all the power they've given to the characters. Fighting techniques and technology in action sequences are pretty boring. You can summon fire but you're still using knifes and medieval war machines? Serious lack of imagination there. This sort of top-of-the-head mundane approach to what could otherwise be an epic and innovative narrative, pretty much pervades the whole series on all levels and leaves it unfulfilled. The storytelling is rushed and primitive with no space for nuance and no respect for rhythm. This robs both the characters' depth and the worlds' seductiveness. Dialogues have no pauses, landscapes have no protagonism. This in my view is the biggest flaw of avatar and the one reason why it has no soul. The esoteric side of element bending and Shintoism was another great fountain of inspiration not allowed to gush forth. In the end Avatar is all action, and not very inventive at it either. But don't let me discourage you from watching it. It's still an entertaining an fun show as long as you can bear all its critical flaws and aren't frustrated for its infantile shallowness.",6
"Average movie that tries to builds on some ""cool"" and ""trendy"" action shots. The story is aerate to bad, directing ... meh, had a hard time staying on and finishing it.",4
"While the first movie was a bit unorthodox regarding its portrayal of Sherlock Holmes, it functioned because of the good performance of the main actors, a very convincing villain and a good plot which had more than a necessary amount of mystery for an SH plot, made even stronger by toying with the elements of the occult. Occasional action scenes, though sometimes overdone, were rather original and few and far between to annoy.

The sequel though seems to be written by a different set of writers. There is no plot whatsoever above the basic premise which can be told in a sentence or two. The only mystery present was what actually connects all too many random and overly long action sequences and dispensable characters together. And though the main actors might still be pushing hard, their lines rarely work, being written poorly as they are. To accommodate for the weak script, Robert Downey character's eccentricity seems to be simply pushed much too far this time that it becomes annoying rather than fun. Jude Law repeats the first role as much as possible with the lines he's been given and is a rare memento to what worked well in the first movie. Rachel McAdams was a rare miss in the first movie, so the fact she doesn't play a larger role in this one can only be a plus. I'm still puzzled by the gypsy woman character's purpose in the movie, but it only underlines the weak script as this character is actually one of the main ones. And the villain himself leaves an impression of a low-level local gangster given to play with higher stakes (selling weapons to opposing countries, rather than illegal liquor) which, unfortunately for the script writers, doesn't automatically create a character of a top criminal mastermind. As there was no secrecy about him or his plan or his ulterior motives even, the ""game of shadows"" being played between him and the SH is reduced to running around the Europe at seemingly random locations, fighting (in the most direct sense of the word) the forgettable villains alone while trying to save the world. And if that might sound more like a James Bond script to you (as mentioned in some other review), you would not be mistaken.

Just avoid it. It made for a very tedious experience and the only thing I cared about while watching was that it finishes as soon as possible so I can forget about it.",3
"I absolutely loved season 1 and 2, but I have to admit season 3 was a big massive let down. It was still one of the best things on TV, but compared to the previous 2 seasons it was absolute corny, clichéd and cheesy tripe. Even the cinematography had gone downhill (although thankfully not the acting!).

The 'Sherlock Holmes' character that we met in season 1 episode 1 is completely gone, there is nothing recognisable left. In fact, you would think they were completely different characters and completely changing your character's personality and characterizations to the point that they come across as a completely new person isn't character development, it is just bad writing.

So I'm a bit confused about what I should rate it. Seasons 1 and 2 are definitely 10/10 and compared to other shows season 3 is probably about a 6-7/10. However season 3 compared to seasons 1 and 2 is probably a 2/10 and that is me being kind.

I really hope the show improves again in season 4 and the writers stop turning it into a romantic comedy.",7
"Main goal of this movie as it seems was to earn money. They focused on animation and graphics to be real so much that forgot to personalize characters and give them face expressions. Could have been NatGeo Wild video with voice over it. No, sorry, it couldn't, real animals also have face expressions.",3
"The movie is great, it's at same level as an Avengers movie, really cool. I was enjoying it fully, until guess what... WORST SPIDER-MAN EVERRR! Andy Garfield, we miss you. This Spider-Man has no appeal as Peter Parker, the costume is ugly, and adds ZERO elements to the plot. They could have included any other Marvel's character, instead, like Wasp or Spider-Woman. But no, they had to trash a previous saga that was going great to insert Spider-Man to the Avengers (another bad move, by SONY). With all and all, the movie is neat and full of action. I want to see it again, it's worth it. Kudos for Black Panther, Vision, Scarlett Witch and Falcon.",9
"Matthew mumbles his way through this movie. It would have been bearable without him in it. If you can cope with mumbling unbearable dialogue from the main character then go for it. I watched the entire movie, but lost the will to live after 10 mins. The movie was nowhere as clever as some of the reviews I've read would make you believe. This of course is my personal opinion, I like to be entertained, I don't like having to put my ear next to my sound bar, just to try to make out what Cooper is saying. Matthew kills the role of Cooper..

If you're after fast paced movie action then look away. If you're after some long drawn-out movie that goes nowhere then this is for you.. Enjoy.",1

"The storyline was too simple. There was no real connection between any character. The plot was very straightforward. Only the production design team and the action stunts can be appreciated in this movie. The way the movie portrayed Bangladesh was very unaccurate. Bangladeshi people do not talk or behave like that. The teenage gangs, cops and elite force they showed were completely unrealistic. The research team should have done a little bit more research on the location where the story is actually happening. If it was a country like Afghanistan or Somalia, it could be accepted. At the end, the movie was too predictable and not a single moment I saw any real plot twist or a scene to say ""wow"".",1

"This big-budget epic has the title superhero and his peers trying to fight off an enemy spy agency that is working within a broader international spy agency based in Washington D.C. One of its agents is known as The Winter Soldier.

Like many other big-budget films, this one does a superb job in the technical aspects particularly the aerial camera work and the special effects. However, like many other modern big-budget films, the technical effects have taken over to make up for a screenplay that is too busy and sometimes difficult to follow. Even the battle scenes seem too busy at times.

While film-making has become more sophisticated since computer-generated imagery, one still yearns for a better balance in action scenes like those from older films. The special effects were less sophisticated than today but they did much better with the ""less is more"" principle where story was concerned. - dbamateurcritic",6
A Quiet Place ripoff with a rather predicatable and tiresome ending.,3
"Let me make this simple and clear because I really don't want to waste my time.

The 1974 version is for educated mature adults.

This version is for under 16 with little or no reference for history, art, culture or an attention span and care about anything else but lighting themselves on fire. The graphics and effects makes It look like it was made in disneyland for disneyland. Nothing in this emotes or references the 1920s. The hair, music, moves, speech and clothing is so far off it is just a caricature of itself.

Fine to watch to laugh at. The adult version will be the goto as a better film. I was embarrassed for these, which are seasoned actors forced into clown makeup and into to a circus. Very laughable throughout.",3

"There's been quite a bit of pre-Oscar buzz about American Fiction, which on its surface is a film about a frustrated black American writer & professor named Thelonious ""Monk"" Ellison (Jeffery Wright) who decides to write a ""ghetto"" book (replete with hood vernacular) as a big F-U to the publishing world when his latest high-minded serious fiction fails to find a publisher. He then has to deal with the personal and professional fallout when his snarky joke book becomes a runaway success. When I first saw an overview of the movie, I was immediately reminded of Spike Lee's Bamboozled, in which a unsuccessful, frustrated black TV executive successfully pitches a sketch show where the actors perform in blackface. However, this isn't actually a great comparison.

In Bamboozled, Spike Lee hit us with quite a bit of finger pointing and ""shame on you""-ing as he tried to make Americans reconcile with a past (and occasional present) where black entertainers are only allowed to be racist caricatures. There's real footage of Al Jolson and other early 20th century ""minstrel show"" entertainers spliced into the movie and the end result is mostly a depressing guilt trip. Like most of Spike's oeuvre, his aim is to entertain, get a few laughs here and there, and ultimately deliver his Big Message about race relations.

American Fiction's message as I took it, is less about race and more about the place of art and artists in 21st century, multi-national corporate subsidized entertainment. (It seems especially appropriate that the movie was published by MGM, whose long-time motto has been the Latin ars gratia artis, or, ""art for art's sake"") There's a hint right at the beginning of the movie when Monk is teaching a university class about literature and has written the n-word on the whiteboard at the front of the class. He has a heated debate with one of his students about how much she dislikes the word to which Monk replies, ""I got over it, so I think you can too."" Indeed, American Fiction doesn't actually do much hand wringing, finger pointing, or tear shedding about race and prefers instead to focus on intra-family dynamics and how art makes its way to modern audiences.

The scenes that truly get at the heart of the film's message come when Monk is touring a decent, but not luxurious care home for his mother (Leslie Uggams) whose ability to care for herself is being rapidly destroyed by newly diagnosed Alzheimer's Disease. When one of the care home's managers tells Monk that the cost is $5600 a month, what choice does he have other than to ride his sell-out success to the finish line when the cost of even basic care is equal to a mortgage payment? His family counts 2 doctors in its ranks and once upon a time, a large middle-class family with two doctors in it would have no problem covering the cost of care for a senile matriarch. In inflation-ravaged 21st century America however, this isn't the case. As much as it pains Monk's pride and his mission as an artist with important things to say, family comes first, so he must continue to sell out to the highest bidder.

Besides its nuanced messages about art, capitalism, and audience taste, American Fiction is actually a comedy at its core. Most of the film's laughs come from Jeffery Wright's pained facial expressions, his attempts to portray himself as a ""hard"" black man from the streets for his joke book's credibility, and his increasingly outrageous, ""I can't believe they think this trash is good writing"" suggestions when he's dealing with book publishers and Hollywood producers. It is a genuinely funny movie. For this alone, I am grateful that it exists. Good comedy is rare, and good comedy that also has important messages about art, family, and capitalism even more so.

It's not a perfect movie by any means - the ultimate ending is darkly comic, but it tries to be a bit too cute with the 4th wall & narrative on its way there. And while this is very minor and nit-picky, for a movie set in and around Boston, they don't really attempt to capture the nuances of accent, language, and demeanour for the region. This is a family from Anytown, USA that just so happens to be set in Boston and Cape Cod.

If you're expecting a movie that preaches and pontificates about race and the modern black condition in America, this is not it. But it is hilarious, literary, well-paced, well-acted, and massively entertaining. So go see it.",8
"Ready Player one captures some aspects of the wonder of game and fully utilized the sense of 80s nostalgia in a way that none other than Steven Spielberg would be able to. The film delivers a brilliant message about the purpose of gaming and perhaps an extended metaphor to life much like the way in which many of Spielberg's film presents big messages in relatively simple yet heartfelt and genuine narratives.

Perhaps none other can helm such a project and not make us seem like a completely bloated film filled with attempts of selling the 80s nostalgia for commercial success.

However, inspire of these praises to the film it does seem lacking in some areas too. I personally did not see the development of the characters or the sentimental values that characters hold, even though as previously mentioned Spielberg does manage to deliver that sense of genuine emotions and themes. It's just that in many cases these aren't delivered through the characters themselves.

While simple but effective is often Spielberg's calling card in this case many of the story beats were predictable and thus unimpactful. Much like the recent ""BFG"" which manages a good ideology but lacking in complexion and further intrigue.

While the many references were certainly enough to have fans dig through frame by frame for ages there also just was this sense of underuse and lack of purpose of these characters. In other words they just seem to be there, of course it is impossible to fit all of this into the span of a movie but perhaps that is exactly why this was an absolute challenge for any director to take on.",6
"Initially, the protagonists were interesting because they were torn, unsure of what was right for them and their families, but after a fast-forward, we find they became the worst version of themselves. Personally, if I don't care about any of the characters enough, to worry if any of them are in danger, it strikes me as a pretty bad sign. The original series was somewhat guilty of this, but there were always some characters who pushed back against the politics and stood for something or played the game in a clever way. Not so much here-they're mostly just self-involved and not motivated by anything terribly interesting, nor acting on those motivations in interesting ways.

Considering the series is still airing, it may be at an awkward transitional place- I'll revise this if it switches things up dramatically.",4
"I haven't read books like majority and played onlly 3rd sequel of witcher. But even so it made me fell in love with it, books are in plans. I played it twice, second time final edition with all add ons.

Only comparing this to a game one can come to a simple conclusion only season 1 is done to a true witcher spirit. Letting go Henry Cavill which is a true to the bone Witcher fan (both game and books) means only one thing, disaster.

There was potencial to do this the right way, season 1 was good, imo spot on for the introducing season even tho separation in certain regard started in very first season but with season 2 and now definitely season 3 I'm 100% certain this show is ruined.

Will watch season 3 out of respect to Henry Cavill and that's it from me.

PS And all this ""new age"" bs we are being exposed to in 99% of holywood motion pictures is definitely starting not to only annoy people but killing the quality of stories. Witcher had all the worlds potencial to be an extraordinary tv show, as some more beside it as mentioned GoT etc but they killed it by following this narrative of ""racial equality by all price"", thinking they are better suited to decide on the story than the original writter which was fully accepted by fan base.",3
"The main cast is amazing, the character development in this show is one step below Breaking Bad (as good as you can get). The CGI starts off OK but it gets almost movie-like from the second season. The stories and plot-lines all make sense in their universe and they never over- complicate things: the agents will always take decisions based on their knowledge and feelings, and the others react accordingly. If you feel like the first 8 or so episodes are sluggish, know for certainty that they do not reflect the quality of the REST of the show, but follow a different structure for a reason tied in with the plot (that is revealed to the audience in the 1st season).

A must-view for Marvel fans and a sturdy ""give it a try"" to fans of drama (more precisely, spy-like secret agencies that control the world from the shadows).",10
"Have watched both season 1 and 2 now and have to say I am left wanting more at the end of season 2.

Season 1 was a little slow in parts, and the dialogue in season 1 and 2 is a bit lame in parts, but overall it is a good watch if you like this genre of tv.

Well worth a watch.",9
"Soooo disappointing.

Very poor script and poor acting.

PS: Dear TV show makers...please stop with the flashback 'story telling' thing. It's annoying, it does not enhance the product in any way and it has been done to death. Just try writing proper stories instead.",3
"Bro all the effects, sounds, story, and characters are just perfect! It somehow just gets better and better every single time I rewatch it. It's truly amazing when you go through the journey of every single season and episode. It's one of the best feelings in the world to go through every single episode, and just watch the beauty of it. I seriously recommend The show to anybody who's any age. Every single Thing about the show is accurate, spectacular, and just exciting. You might get stuck on season one but as soon as you get on the season two your invested and it's just so amazing. I'm definitely gonna watch the new movie of it coming out too.",10
The only good thing about Season 3 is the soundtrack.,2
"I've been a Spider-Man fan since I was a kid and that was a long time ago, but I don't really like this very light approach that's been developed with Tom Holland . Don't get me wrong I'm not criticizing the teenager approach since it's refreshing but I prefer a funny and yet intense Spider-Man and on this movie it was neither of them. I found the story pretty basic , the chance of the world on the verge of destruction and no other super heroes available , the tour around Europe like "" Spider-Man's got traveling around Europe"" movie ... I'm not a fan also of the heavy CGI... the suit looks more and more unnatural, sometimes I felt like I was watching a cartoon... and that made me feel a bit sad about one of my favorite heroes... But since Holland is a young lad , I hope to see this character leaving Spider-Man growing and hopefully lines like the one where everyone's revealing some secret because they think the end is near ... that's so dated and not funny!! All and all it was visually intense but with all that CGI, even that couldn't save this one.",4
"All the Show really good and mediocre in some aspects, BUT THE CGI ARE SO BAD SO BAD SO BAD...Shame on you NETFLIX for doing a so BAD CGI when you can do a super great TVSHOW.... i must say the CGI are better in the real time processing in THE GAMES. And another thing, WHEN AND WHERE ARE YOUR MIND WHEN YOU DID THAT NILFGARD BLACK ARMORS, the design are so ridiculous. They should have more time to create a great show when they just created a mediocre show in a short time...",7
"Just returned from the theatres, now that I am home I feel genuinely very happy that Guru Kanth Desai is still going strong. I am also completely confident he will make Shakthi Corporation the biggest company in the world...by now you must be wondering what I am talking about, this is how many viewers would feel after coming out of watching Maniratnam's Guru.

First of all let me start by mentioning Abhishek Bachan's role, as this is the role that Guru is built upon. If there ever was a movie where one actor dominated so completely I would only compare Kamal Hassan in Nayakudu/Nayakan. Abhishek should be very proud of what he has accomplished in Guru, it is something that some actors haven't or will not achieve in a life time. He is impeccable for the hardest of critic to comment. His histrionics are brilliant and the way he lost and gained weight during different parts of the movie demonstrate how serious Maniratnam and Abhishek were in making this movie. Keep the awards ready please...Abhishek Bachan has his name stamped on them.

The story is quite simple; it is the narration and the characterisation that makes this movie so unique and interesting. it's about a common mans journey to build India's largest company with the help of its share holders by whatever means possible. In Guru, Guru Kanth Desai is not portrayed as an invincible man rather he is played as a very good business man who can talk and do right things at the right time. The narration of the story is so tight you never flinch. (This applies only to serious movie watchers, not the ones who cannot do without masala and comedy in a film) Maniratnam is one the best story tellers in our country if not the best, and he does that perfectly again. This will rate as one of the best works of Maniratnam; I would take the liberty of putting this Under Nayakudu/Nayakan which rates first on my list of Maniratnam movies.

The music is by A R Rahman, we all know what happens when Maniratnam and A R Rahman team up. Pure magic is created. More than the songs of Guru, the background score impressed me. It is the music in every important scene that brings the scene to life. Rahman is amazing and like Rang De Basanti the songs just blend into the movie. Not to mention Mayya Mayya and Barso re Megha in the first 20 minutes of the movie brighten up the whole theatre.

A word of mention...

Aishwarya Rai has a very strong role in Guru; strong roles are very scarce in Bollywood these days...especially for female artists. Aishwarya stays with Guru throughout the movie and stays on the top of Bollywood by doing that brilliantly.

Mithun & Madhavan are the adamant characters that fight for the right, when I say adamant they really are in the movie and you feel their willingness to stay on the right side of things all through the movie. All the other supporting roles including Vidhya Balan are brilliantly enacted. There is no character that was underplayed or wasn't justified.

Where does this leave us...? Maniratnam has made a wonderful movie full of strong characters, great screen play, brilliant music and marvellous photography by Rajiv Menon. He needs to be commended for this effort. It is no wonder he takes two years to make out one movie, Guru was worth waiting for...so here I am already waiting for his next",10
"Not gonna lie, I was not looking forward to this. I anticipated ""Loki"" and ""Falcon and The Winter Soldier"" much more. I kept thinking ""Why do a show about Wanda and Vision, when Vision is already dead??"". I didn't get the appeal and the whole sitcom setting just seemed weird. I'm so glad I was wrong.

Wandavision is a great dive into these characters that have mostly been sidelined in the MCU until now and that I now love because of this. The main theme of this show is dealing with grief, loneliness and loss. The sitcom setting ended up being a lot of fun, because we got to see these characters in different decades and styles of sitcoms all while dealing with the themes I've mentioned. I want to keep this has much spoiler free as I can, so I won't go much deeper, because this really is a great ride, especially if you're a fan of the MCU, but the weekly discussion and theories that fans came up with (most we see now were really silly) were really fun to experience and I'm really glad I was part of that ride! This is a show that I will rewatch, just to see the little clues sprinkled in the earlier episodes and perhaps catch some things I didn't in the first watch.

This was emotional, heartbreaking, funny, game changing, it set the tone for the MCU going forward and I can't wait to see what they do with it!

Also, shoutout to Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany and Kathryn Hann, you guys are amazing!",9
"Nice story, good acting, awesome direction. Brings smiles on my face.",8
"There may be a good 2-hour movie in this but it's stretched out over 10 episodes. It makes fun of true crime shows drawing out the drama, and yet it does the same thing. It's always fun to see Steve Martin and Martin Short, and they do pretty good riffing off of their charisma. But Chrissy Metz is just a bland, robotic third wheel here. And somehow, as beautifully produced as it is, the whole thing feels lifeless. And I'm not prude but what's up with the abrupt vulgarity, like the F bombs and the Long Island cousin finger thing. It's like some Hollywood producer's note that ""New Yorkers are really vulgar. Make sure to get that in.""",3
"For six episodes in one series, the storyline is very slow. Half into the series and steven with his alter-ego are still fighting about the lead character. More blah-blah than action from a marvel series.

Almost boored me to sleep.",1
"Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is a serviceable entry in the Harry Potter universe despite its many shortcomings. Fantastic performances and visuals complete some truly great and pivotal plot developments. Any Harry Potter fan might want to check this out, but go with lowered expectations. The story follows the breakout of influential dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) as he seeks to enlist his army of pure bloods. He starts by manipulating the transformation of Credence (Ezra Miller). All sides are divided by this as many find that killing both will fix the issue and many believe that Grindelwald upholds what is right. All except for the moral Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) who believes in stopping both but not killing. As a result, a younger Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) enlists him to work behind the lines as dangerous times approach testing the loyalties and love of all involved.

Eddie Redmayne, as Newt Scamander, is always entertaining with his quirky remarks and unswayable morals. Also, he attempts to reunite with Tina (Katherine Waterston) to humanize his central struggle to find company. Johnny Depp, as Grindelwald, empowers with his powerful voice and fear-inducing actions. His presence holds well even among the likes of Voldemort. Jude Law, as Albus Dumbledore, is my favorite character with a spot-on recreation of a younger Dumbledore even if he's not in it for long. His wise remarks and enthralling character developments only left me wanting more. Zoe Kravitz, as Leta, is one of the most interesting characters with her fair share of story which leaves us craving for more regarding the mysteries of the lore. Katherine Waterston, Alison Sudol, Dan Fogler and Ezra Miller return better than ever with twists and turns further developing their characters, even if a little too much time is spent on their side of the story.

David Yates expertly directs with an eye of awe for each of the magical settings visited. It is always a delight to see the early happenings of events and monuments such as Hogwarts. However, my favorite scene comes from the opening escape which rips and roars with wonderous sound design and sets the precedent for a truly epic villain in Grindelwald. Despite this, the movie comparably falls flat resulting in some boring sections of exposition with forced moments of fan service. The movie feels considerably crowded and in need of a more compelling story in some sections. Despite this, the exceptional first few minutes and last third redeem the story from being a total slump.

The message of the movie is to never lose your morals despite what could benefit you. Newt is a great example of this because he chooses what's right in spite of Grindelwald's powerful way with words. I give this film 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18 because of some intense action and themes.

"Apart from the action scenes - which were a very minimal part of the movie, it sucked. The CGI was way to clearly CGI (not as bad as in the first-one however). This movie - and I'm not talking about all the errors that slipped in (which were a lot - and annoyed me throughout the whole movie) - isn't a spiderman movie at all... It has way too much romantic crap, this seems a Pearl Harbor/Titanic ripoff with all it's cliché's that come with it for free. That's not what a real spiderman-fan wants to see, not that I am one, but I know some guys that were really really disappointed. OK that you have some romance I can understand - but this? It was way over the top. It's not even worked out very well - has plot-holes everywhere, and one blatant thing

that is so completely against the whole spiderman-story concept.

That this movie ends up in the top 250 is unbelievable for me, what was so good about it? The acting? The plot/story? The CGI? The action-scenes? I've seen much better in a lot cheaper productions. Yes, the action scenes were nice from time to time - but it's a freakin' spiderman movie! What would you expect? People actually seem to believe that this money-making blockbuster is actually better than Rain Man (place 214 at the time in top250, while SP2 has place 212), I would rather place it in the regions of Godzilla.

Guess that the big score is because of the romantic and ""drama"" parts in it. People should really see more movies, this-one was utter crap. 2/10 for me.",1
"But in reality its one of the few recent movies Ive watched recently with out interuption.

I thought we were going to get yet another white not enough diversity story from Hollywood , but the reality is the reverse.

Its a movie that takes aim squarely at industries jumping on the BLM etal bandwagon for the hypocrites they are.

Whilst the story has you sitting there thinking , No , they aren't really like that surely, it exposes that in reality many actually are. You only need to consider it from my intial reaction to the story breif, yet another on the BLM bandwagon.

In truth its an honest story, slow meander through a family and tradgedy with a very interesting theme hanging it all together.",8
It has its moments but was disappointing overall. I imagine people that have read the original book would get more enjoyment out of it.,5
"Kung Fu Hustle was released in 2005 in India. There was no hype, no notion of what the film was like. The trailers discouraged me. A martial arts film with special effects? Phooey! But the movie had me hooked. It is the movie I enjoyed most that year. It is truly as fresh and new a movie that has been made in the action comedy genre.Stephen Chow has used himself effectively, not allowing his character to overshadow the movie. As a result other endearing characters are brought into light. Savage humor and imaginative fight direction makes the movie enthralling. The background music fits right in. As the end suggests, a sequel is in the plans, which is unnecessary,for Kung Fu Hustle is a movie to be seen again and again.",9
"What a waste of time....if you removed Tom Hardy, you are left with low level B movie. Boring, no pace, poor post production/dubbing, terrible sense of humor, bad taste...I warned you, remember!",3
All flash this movie. One of the worst films I have ever seen. This was an excuse for amazing graphics and not much more. Poor story line and frustrating writing (you are being chased and finally find the thing that will save you and you stop to look and ponder ) These movies are becoming glossy colours to throw at the masses and make money. I used to enjoy these movies but the latest ones are lure drivel.,3
"I am not surprised that the earliest reviews are all ten stars, I would have also judged Series one and two with that score, sadly they took something away in the latter years, the show became too clever for its own good, they sacrificed style for substance. Back to the positives, the first two series, and in fairness The Abominable Bride I think are outstanding, they are clever, witty, absorbing, genuinely thrilling viewing. The performances throughout are sensational, I cannot compliment Cumberbatch and Freeman enough, they make a great double act, and inject a massive energy. I can appreciate the show as independent from the works of Conan Doyle, but when I want Sherlock Holmes, it's Jeremy Brett I look to. Personally, the highlight of the show was Andrew Scott, who's Moriarty was nothing short of astounding, he stole every scene he appeared in, a shame they killed him off when they did. I think Moffat took on too much with this and Doctor Who, and it seemed both shows dipped at the same time, he should have made a choice and focused on one show, it was surely too much work doing both. I hope very much that the show returns, and the genius that was evident in Series one and Two returns also. Highlight for me has to be The Reichenbach Fall, which is simply incredible.",8
"""JoJo's Bizarre Adventure"" is an animated series that truly lives up to its name.

Spanning multiple generations of the Joestar family, the series is a unique fusion of action, supernatural elements, and continuous reinvention that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.

The narrative of ""JoJo's Bizarre Adventure"" is divided into several parts, each focusing on a different member of the Joestar lineage, battling malevolent forces with their unique abilities, known as Stands. From the Victorian era to the modern day, the settings are as varied as the characters, with each new installment bringing fresh themes and challenges.

The intricate plotlines are filled with intense battles, strategic mind games, and the kind of dramatic twists that can only be described as 'bizarre.' The art style is distinctive, featuring bold lines, dramatic poses, and a color palette that defies convention. It's a visual feast that perfectly complements the over-the-top nature of the story.

Voice acting in ""JoJo's Bizarre Adventure"" is top-notch, with each actor bringing a wealth of personality to their roles, which is crucial in a series where characters can be as flamboyant as their superpowers. The music is equally impressive, with memorable themes and soundtracks that capture the essence of the show's shifting tones.

What sets ""JoJo"" apart from other anime is its willingness to take risks. It never shies away from embracing the odd, the extravagant, or the outright weird. This is a show that is unapologetically itself, which is refreshing in a medium that often relies on familiar tropes.

However, ""JoJo's"" unique style may not be for everyone. Its distinctiveness is a double-edged sword that might alienate viewers who prefer more conventional storytelling. The pacing can be uneven, with some arcs feeling rushed while others take their time to unfold.

In conclusion, ""JoJo's Bizarre Adventure"" is a must-watch for any anime fan looking for a series that breaks the mold. It offers an experience that is as unforgettable as it is eccentric, and for those who embrace its quirks, it's an anime that rewards viewers with a rich, expansive universe filled with unforgettable characters, stories, and the true essence of adventure.",9
The show is pretty good. It seems like some scenes are missing from the books and some of the costumes aren't great.,9
"Some episodes are incredible, others unfortunately not so much. Would give 10/10 but for some disappointing episodes.",9
"Absolutely terrible little movie. Don't be fooled by the fact that Sandra Bullock stars in this film, because she can't rescue this mess. It's dreary, depressing, predictable, claustrophobic, and not in the slightest bit frightening. They never even get around to showing whatever ""monster"" is supposed be behind all this chaos, or bother explaining how or why all of this craziness is happening in the first place. All we see are occasional leaves blowing in the wind, and some background whispering - and a lot of people walking around blindfolded throughout 90% of the movie. Trust me, that sort of stuff isn't scary. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.",3
"I'm not surprised to find out that the stories from six comic book issues were stretched across these 10 episodes. That explains why the characterisation of the majority of the characters is very thin. Why the plot is slow and boring at times. I love quirky stories and their homage to Wes Anderson and Quentin Tarantino is noticeable without any of their artistic flair. Not that the set pieces aren't impressive, it's just all window dressing with very little depth or dedication to a coherent through line. You're left with buckets of cliches masquerading in a weak attempt to be subversive. The character of Five is outstanding. Klaus also steals the show. But how can you cast the Queen Mary J. Blige and make her character so bland? I'm a fan of Ellen Page but I feel the script and characterisation (or lack thereof) makes her performance one-note and irritating. Allison was probably one of the few fleshed out characters and the actress was great. You could watch the first two and the last two episodes and that would be a better use of your time. If you want to see quirky comic l-inspired characters executed perfectly with depth and nuance watch Legion and even Fargo, as Noah Hawley is the master.",7

"So far from the source material you might as well rename the show. Killing prominent characters, changing motivations and major plot points. Great effing job ruining yet another series to make it more dramatic.",1
"This was a good show. Felt like a mystery/suspense show for grownups. Realistic and nothing over-the-top. 7 eps, ~50 mins each. Misdirection is expected in this genre and I was able to predict the main twist and BOOM, turns out the main twist was yet to come and I was only partially right. Smh. Also an awards contender!",8
"I have no knowledge of the videogame or the story line that this is supposed to be following so I'm approaching it from a complete newbie standpoint. Here are just some scattered thoughts I have on the show, and yes I watched the full first season (just barely.)

Pros -Henry Cavill. Obviously. He was a favorite for me in The Tudors and when I saw that he was starring in this, I was pretty excited to watch it.
The sets and costumes are pretty good, and the production value helps a lot.
Story line has a lot of potential...don't know if they did it justice though.


Cons -It took me a long time to realize that they were doing flashback scenes. -Someone please take the colored contacts off of these people...honestly it's killing any acting talent they have. Even GOT scrapped the contacts for a reason. -The casting and scripts of some characters definitely makes it feel like a cheap sci-fi version of a Hallmark movie. I'm also pretty confused when they use modern day words and phrases as frequently as we hear them in modern day...pretty sure any frustrated reaction set in this ""time period"" would not use the F word as a response. It almost breaks character for me.",6
"So upset that Cavill is leaving. A brilliant series, but won't be the same without Henry. The Witcher is a brilliant book series, but the producers/writers shouldn't be straying away from them to write the show. It's thanks to them that Cavill has moved on. Cavill is a HUGE Witcher nerd, so I can't imagine how heartbroken and angry he is that they are disgracing the books and games.

Absolutely love this show. Funny, emotional, diverse, but most of all, it's beautiful. Season two just keeps getting better, and I'm so excited for season three. Season four might be bad without Cavill, but I'll still watch this.",9
"The only strengths here are the photography and the work of the actors. Clearly they're all screen veterans.

But for me, I just don't understand this kind of cinema. The story bewilders me, the editing and the writing leaving me confused as to what's actually happening, why it matters, and what we are supposed to take away from it. The characters behave so oddly. Overly dramatic, always enraged and disturbingly perverted. The camera obsesses over things that don't seem explained, logical, or end up as distractions and dead ends. I guess Tarantino's work is just a style I'll never appreciate. I can't stand his other movies either. It's almost like a video game world populated by NPC's where the hopped-up main characters rampage throught it, without regard to any sense of limits or reason.

And then the biggest weirdness on top of it, is the moral band-aid slapped over top. Honestly this film reads as a half-attempted correction/condemnation/apology tour of Hollywood's sins regarding um, kiddos. Much like how Tarantino's other films are accepted as ""corrections"" for other matters of race or sex, while flaunting the gratuitous exploitation of those issues. For me this just doesn't work. It just makes me more convinced that those who protest the loudest, are probably the most guilty.",3
"Such violence, corrupt forces, mafia gang and surroundings never go with Bangladesh. It's a small peace-loving beautiful country. What the film is trying to do is spreading negative message and propaganda about Bangladesh.",1
"I have been watching the show since it premiered in 2019 and have been following the show since. I liked the tone of the show and liked how the show held nothing back showing gruesome and dark scenes that can hit so many emotions for different people.

It's a complete contrast to our modern superhero films in which they are safely digestible and full of light-hearted humor.

So when I say that this season has some of the most disgusting and funny scenes I mean it. I love that the show tackles what people and celebrities would do if they had real superpowers. And I also like how the characters are played, deeply flawed and relatable(Aside from the superpowers of course)

if you liked the last two seasons you'll like this one as well. Don't jump into this season fresh though watch the other two seasons so that you'll be caught up on everything that has happened up to this point.",9
"This film felt like it went on for a very long time, if I'm truly honest my interest in Tarantino films has dropped off in recent years, not intentionally, but there you go.

This didn't exactly do much to reignite the spark, for an hour and a half I was mildly entertained, perhaps a little bored. The last half an hour or so sees the film go up several gears, the ending was great, the best part of the film.

The major strengths here, the visuals, if you love the sixties, this will appeal to you, it looks incredible, the visuals are sublime. The acting is awesome, not a single quibble from me about the acting, DiCaprio is absolutely superb, and deserving of accolades.

A good story, the issue for me was pacing, the story takes time to hot up, and if I'm honest, beging to knit together.

It's a good film, you just need to stick with it. 6/10.",6
"You sit on the end of your chair. To me all 7 seasons were great. At the end it brought tears to my eyes. It has action, sympathy, love, togetherness plus so much more. I wish they made more shows as Agents of Shield. They had a find cast and Marvel should be happy with this one.",10
"I remember actually reading Moon Knight in my teens in the 80s. It was cool and mystical. So when I saw this, I had really high expectations (for a MCU show, that is....). I just thought.....don't mess it up. Alas.

The extremely overrated Oscar Isaac, who played the most boring character in any Star Wars movie, the poor mans Han Solo, manage to get two accents sounding very silly. You see, after he becomes Moon Knight, he is both a strange version of Hugh Grant, a very redicilous Brit, and this bad boy mercenary, who really is Moon Knight. He turns into the mercenary each time he gets into trouble, and the makers of the series does this clever thing to hold down production costs; they just let us see the aftermath, not the action. So we are just as confused as Oscar Isaac.

He talks to an Egyptian God (an avatar), a big bird, who goes between coming with sarcastic remarks and treaths, while everyone thinks Isaac's crazy. Finally, in episode 2, we get the big payoff; the snappiest suit in the MCU since Spiderman from 1978. No, seriously, this is beyond cool. If you pause it, you'll actually see Egyptian marks in this awesome costume. And I absolutely loved that strange, half moon weapon.

Unfortunately, that's just about it. I freely admit I haven't seen the whole show, because it was plain boring. Ethan Hawke plays one of the most boring villains I've ever seen, the former victim (as he say) of Isaac's Egyptian god. I stopped watching when God was trapped in a tiny stone sculpture, cause by that time, the rest of the episode saw Isaac and his female sdekick looking at strange maps, trying to figure out cordinates to some chamber.

It's a mess. The story is a big, big mess, and not worth my time. Like the rest of MCU. My superhero fatigue has gone over to a coma. But thanks for the ride.",4
"A well written, executed and performed series. Which beutiful displays aspirantions and human relationships.",8
"""ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT,"" in my opinion, is an absolute FOX classic! I haven't seen every episode, but I still enjoyed it. It's hard to say which episode was my favorite. However, I think it was always funny when a mishap occurred. I always laughed at that. It's nice that every main character stayed with the show throughout its entire run so far. It seems that no one stays with a show throughout its entire run. If you ask me, Lucille Austero (Liza Minnelli) is absolutely hysterical! Everyone always gave a good performance, the setting was spectacular, everything about the characters was well-done, and the writing was always very strong. In conclusion, I hope some show bring this show back so I can see every episode.",9
"First things first, this show is magnificent from start to finish. Although a little goofy at first, all the characters are extremely well written and show incredible growth throughout the series. The story progresses in a very smooth manner and the content of the story itself is amazing. This was the single-handed best attempt at making an engaging show that can be watched and thoroughly enjoyed at all ages. I have rewatched at least 10 times since its release, and will continue to come back. The only animated show that has ever come close to ATLA's mighty spot on the throne may be the recent release of League of Legends' Arcane. If you haven't watched, do it. You will not be disappointed.",10
A good performance by Milli but it's like a kids Xmas movie . Her constant talking to the Camera is annoying .,2

"Dont take it as promotion for a party leader, try to appreciate more about officers who did it successfully, in movie vicky kausal perform very well, and i also think if kirti kulhari could got more important role its too good, after vicky mohit raina is one and only actor who suits all things, paresh rawal done fabulous job, every character is wisely chosen, over all blockbuster movie, must watch movie.

I saw this recently thinking lets c what we guys make comical of bin laden.so i dint expect much....but it was a surprise....this is a low budget movie....but this was funny....the guy who was Noor did play his role as bin laden really well.... i recommend u all should give this movie a try....i thought it was worth watching.the acting was good....it was funny....all in all i thought it was well done....go ahead....the way the story unfolds is good.you mostly know what is going to happen next and all.but still the situational comedy is good....and the part where you see the wannabe cop is hilarious. i say again i was totally surprised by it.but was happy to see at end of this movie.,7
"Such a brilliant premise, such a brilliant actor just wasted wasted wasted! When people at Marvel are so burnt up and they can no longer produce something meaningful this happens! The first episode was so promising and then it gets so boring, illogical, bad special effects, everything just feels so lame!",1
"This is a really fun show and doesn't disappoint through the first two seasons. Five, played by Aidan Gallagher (sp?) is amazing and looking forward to seeing him in other projects. Everyone does a stand-up job and the writing thus far has been really good. I say that because I've read there may be a drop-off in season 3 but I'll give it a go soon.

The science is plausible enough and they don't resort to stupid actions by any of the characters to push the plot forward (a big pet peeve of mine in other shows). I just hope it didn't peak already as I'd love to continue watching to see where this all goes.",9
"Uri - Hindi movie

Between 2 nations when diplomatic ways are getting closed, sometimes the reaction is required in a language which other nation can understand.

When a movie is on patrotism, natural positive reaction comes to your mind.

A great photography, good acting by most of the known and relatively publicaly unknown actors, good flow, good editing are positive things of this film.

However I feel that movie is more of action oriented. It talks about actual issue, planning , risks involved in a very superficial way. The discussion and pressure felt by Prime Minister, Defense Minister, Military supremo, Foreign Minister, Cabinet and many could have been shown in more matured way. ( Remember Dunkirk - though good actors , movie did not touch on real planning and merely shows action)

It's not necessary to bring heirarchical comedy especially in one of the top military organisations. It's not necessary to show undue physical fight between hero and villan when time is crucial and that too at the cost of solider's life.

You can see it in theater if you like action but otherwise can wait till the time it comes on net.

Story - 2 out of 5 Direction - 3 out of 5 Acting - 3 out of 5 Music - 4 out of 5 Editing- 4 out of 5 Photography- 4 out of 5",5
"Not a great plot.

No at interesting characters and any sort of development.

No to cinematic action sequences.

Not a showcase of the hero called Moon Knight.

We've got what? A miscellaneous drama seen many times before.",2
But I just don't see the reasoning or value in using Jesus and God as a cuss word so often. It isn't necessary and crossed over to insulting and grotesque. So many other cuss words can be used but feels like the writers are purposely inserting JC and GD to tick people off or offend them.,1
"This is a true feel-good movie. It has all the right elements - action, tragedy, comedy, romance....I loved it. Farah Khan handled this movie with extraordinary creativity and precision, for a first-time film-maker. She exhibited a true love for Indian cinema, and as far as I'm concerned, has given all those 'established' directors out there a run for their money. I also liked her story, and the way she interpreted it was delightful. It never lagged, or dragged on too long as some Hindi movies do. It was perfectly paced and just a gem to watch. For me, this was one of Shah Rukh Khan's best performances. He really breathed life into the character of Ram, playing action hero and disciplined soldier (as well as lover-boy) with amazing aplomb. I know SRK has a lot of haters, but for me the boy can act! He really puts his guts into it, and he always entertains.(And he's hot too, but that's another story.) Amrita Rao also puts in a very believable performance. I also enjoyed Zayed Khan and Sushmita Sen, as well as the rest of the cast, but for me SRK and Amrita had the stand-out performances. I really think SRK should've won the Filmfare Award for this role, but I guess he has enough on his shelf to make up for it, anyway. The music in the movie is absolutely great (charmingly done), as is the choreography (guess it always is, with Farah Khan at the helm). Watch out for the closing credits! They are so much fun. Truly a great movie, one to watch again and again. I will give this movie 9 out of 10, only because I was annoyed by a triviality.",10
"Everyone is being negative because this isn't the original. Wow. Get over it. This is a fun series. Just enjoy it. Don't try to look for faults, if you like to do that then every series or movie had plenty of faults. And Dr. Smith was an annoying jerk in all versions. Just relax and enjoy.",9
"Here's a chess movie, but with the usual Netflix treatment: Christian, male and capitalist caricatures, love treated with no sanctity and worth, communist sympathetic tendencies and other woke agenda items. It's a shame, because pacing, budget, tension and overall artistic competency was present to make a series that could have been great, but is held back by ideological messaging.",2
"The actors were great and that's it. The plot was very chaotic, inconsistent, and it leaves you with the feeling that you are missing something the whole time and in the end you know for sure that you missed 2 hours of your time.",4
"I've seen things like this movie before - wait! I did! In hundereds of documentaries about this time and event. Tarrantino is a hack, pure and simple! No tallent, no vision, no understanding of real people. Just taking videos of friends and neighbors. What a loser.",2
"I am really tempted to give this a higher rating. I am a huge Harry Potter fan, and the CGI and scenery in this movie was simply incredible. I just wish it was more INTERESTING. There's not really a plot at all, just a bit more information and a bunch of new characters. It was honestly difficult to watch, and I almost felt like I was simply SITTING THROUGH IT rather than enjoying it. It's a huge shame, because I always love J.K. Rowland's work. But this just seems like a filler and/or hype for the next movie in the series.",4
"The Umbrella Academy is a surprisingly good show that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Each of the character arcs are so brilliantly crafted that you'll find yourself second guessing each of their motives, aspirations and actions.

The cast members, led by Elliot Page are also fantastic, especially Aiden Gallagher as Five and Robert Sheehan as Klaus were big surprises.

My only complaint with the show is that it does have a lot of main characters to follow and the season arcs are getting kind of repetitive, apocalypse incoming and all.

But I do see that season 3 ended on a different note, hopeful for season 4.

Otherwise, a very compelling story which is as brilliantly acted as it is well written.",8
"Ryan Reynolds is the best, no doubt. The special effects and action shots were very well done.

But the editing... wrecked it. Never realized how much difference it makes to start songs at the right time, not cut scene too early, or to just fill in story with content instead of cocaine-fueled action shots.",6
"The variety of English and American accents ruins the telling of a historical event.

The dialogue is so awkward, heavily leaning on stereotypes and cliches while moving in slow-motion.

Visuals are pretty good.

"People giving the show really low votes, wow, who hurt you?

I like my shows fleshed out, given depth, dimension. I'm not eagerly awaiting gratuitous fight scenes simply because it's a comic adaptation in the MCU. Unlike those that have the pilot low ratings, I'll stick to the show and see where the journey takes me.

Oscar Isaac is brilliant. The Egyptian representation in the cast and crew is exciting for me. I really look forward to seeing where this series is going to go. Ignore the 1 star reviews... they're probably DC fans anyway.",8
"If you like fine acting,if you like sweet comedy,if you sentimental then its blown you away. this movie make you cry for a father who miss his reletion with her daughter,even his 4 yr doughter dont know him. you lough out loud for a gangster. you lost in love for cute couples. you feel pain for a one sided lover. more of that you lost in their world.you feel its your story,its your song,its your movie.",10
"Maybe I'm missing something, but for all the hype this film has gained I expected a little more than what I saw.",2
"It was far too stretched out. Like in breaking point elastic.

An irritating factor at the beginning (and this is one of my pet peeves) is that the blue eyed boy becomes a brown-eyed teenager/adult. This might be nit-picking to some but it jerks me right out of the film.

The scenes with the train were way overplayed, We get it Steven. Truly.

The film is more about the mother than her son. And their dynamic didn't feel real either. She had three other children and there is virtually nothing of her interactions with them.

I am a huge admirer of SS and his films but this is, I hate to say this, cringe worthy. That scene where the bully follows him to the locker room is unbelievable. No thick bully would have that kind of insight into his own behaviour.

I get the fifties vibe, the Beach Blanket Bingo of that era, But it was all over the place and the focus was not consistent.

Self indulgent pap.

5/10. I am being generous.",5
"Superbad is, in my opinion, the greatest comedy film of all time. Not even a debate. The only other movie I'd be willing to consider is Some Like It Hot. But this is a straight up masterpiece of a movie.

I've thought a lot about why I love this movie so much. Of course, it's funny. But so were a lot of movies that came out around this time. Plenty of Apatow produced or Seth & Evan written films have the same comedic energy and style. Just as heavily quotable, and make me laugh just as hard.

It could be that this is a comedy that's equal parts funny and dramatic. It's a classic ""funny film with a lot of heart."" And sure, that could be it. That bubbling fear of saying goodbye to your best friend and growing apart definitely adds some weight to the movie. It certainly makes you care about these characters more than you would if this was purely a film about stealing booze and getting p*ssy.

But above all of that, this film has one particular element that puts it above the rest and makes it stand the test of time. And it's an element that they execute better than I've personally ever seen before:

Verisimilitude.

I love this movie because it captures the feeling of being in high school nearly perfectly. Sure, this wasn't my exact experience necessarily, but the characters feel like they were taken straight out of my real life and plopped into a movie. I know Seth. I know plenty of Seths. I am Seth. And my best friend (when you get past the ""awkward dork"" stuff and really get into the heart of the character) was Evan.

It's one of the most impressive things I've ever seen in film. I first saw it in 2007. I was in elementary school then, and I remember feeling like this movie was a solid, genuine reflection of what me and a lot of my friends said/did. But it wasn't until I got to high school that I really appreciated how much this team nailed it. And of course Seth and Evan wrote this movie as they were growing up. This isn't something you can sit back and reflect on. This is something that can only be written as you're going through it. And they put their all into this script. Thank God they were so self-aware at that age and willing to write themselves so honestly. That's a rare talent.

This movie is written by Canadians. Shot in LA. Yet, somehow, it completely looks, sounds and feels like home to me. And I think, as we've seen since the release of this film, that people all over the country feel that way. To tap into something that's so personal to an individual, yet so wide reaching-- that's the ultimate goal of a film, right?

Greg Mottola deserves all the credit in the world. Greg makes this movie what it is. Of course, Greg didn't write the script, so all the credit in the world to Seth and Evan for nailing what high schoolers go through and how they actually talk. And massive credit to Jonah and Michael for their incredibly genuine portrayals. But Greg absolutely fueled his own experiences as a high schooler on Long Island into the production of this film. Consciously or not, he was making a nostalgia-fueled love letter to his days as a Hills East student. And it completely shows. The attempt to capture your hometown and your upbringing on film is a noble effort and one that's been attempted plenty of times, but Greg executed with absolute precision.

I've seen this film several dozen times and will probably watch it countless more. Each time it feels like catching up with close friends, which I love. And, of course, I have my real-life close friends who I can see anytime I want. But these guys are funnier.",10
"I wanted to love this so badly. Jenna Ortega was amazing as Wednesday!!! I could tell she put a lot of work into this character. The series as a whole felt more like a gothic Nancy Drew. The story line was very predictable, as well as the ending. Most of the supporting characters gave off Disney like qualities...especially in the acting. ""Thing"" had more charisma than those with actual speaking roles. It seemed like most of the effort was put into building this version of Wednesday, and the rest; the storyline, the plot, the supporting characters were all thrown in as an afterthought. I had no expectations going into this series, but Wednesday-the teenage detective was the last thing I imagined.",3
"When they have those actors and that budget at their disposal and they deliver this repulsive vile violent misogynistic hateful boring drama, something is wrong

filmmaking is not complicated make your main character's identifiable and have an antagonist thrown in to boot . Who iall have zero chemist or Charisma with the characters you care for no one or nothing

I have no idea how they could make this film so bad and utter mess up, avoid at all costs it will depress you and leave scars on your mind and soul if you watch this",2
I just like the other part more than this one well let's hope the last is the best,7
"I had high expectations for this movie, but it was pointlessly confusing to a point that it got annoying. I can see why some people might like it, but not my cup of tea. I enjoy fast paced movies, but this movie seemed fast paced for the sake of it. I don't get the 8.1 rating, for me it below average, especially when it comes to plot and screenplay. The dialog is just cringy and pointless. The whole metaverse concept seems to be used more and more recently, unfortunately most times badly with the aimjust to impress the viewer.

Short review: confusing, pointless, empty, bright, fast paced. A cornucopia of plastic candy, looks exciting from far away, but disappointing when you get closer to it.",3
Don't make movies just for sake of making. One of the worst movies I watched in my life.,2
This is the best worst marvel movie i ever seen so much lag,2
This film looks beautiful in its own right however I didn't feel all the emotions I felt for the original. I just felt the songs had no conviction or emotion attached. I still listen from time to time can you feel the love tonight when Elton sings that song I feel the passion in his voice along with Nala and Simba but now it feels like a pop song you never want to listen to again :(,2
I lost interest in this movie almost from the beginning. Kept at it for almost an hour before I quit. It's contrived. It's seen before. Had there been an actual plot it would have been full of holes I'm sure. Don't waste your time on this.,1
"Looks great, but is filled with sappy dialog, daft twists and silly science.

Don't get me wrong, you should see this film for its look alone.

Just don't fall into the trap of thinking this is somehow going to change your life.

There are no proved wormholes in the real world.

The whole plot is filed with this hole and that's what undermines it.

This is the over-hyped sci-fi film with a twist ending that M. Night Shyamalan didn't direct.

Maybe if he had, people would see it for what it is.",5
"Season 3 - Horrifically Bad Wow. Season 1 was a breath of fresh air. While not completely aligned with the book, it complemented it enough to be engaging to me. Season 2 a slight drop but still a show that was engaging - albeit straying from the book more. Season 3 - glaring garbage. I see why Henry wants to leave. The writing is terrible. In fact, beyond terrible. And they are striking for more money? LMAO. They need to go back to school and learn to write. Step 1 - Stick to the book. Follow the book. Keep to the storytelling path and style. Don't try and re-invent Netflix. Your writers are not good enough. Hoping season 4 changes things but I doubt it.

Items to note: 1. I do not fault the actors - the writers are terrible at their job.

2. I fault Netflix for destroying a fantasy series similar to LOR on Amazon Prime. If your afraid to follow the books correctly - THEN DON'T MAKE THE SHOW.

3. HBO should have done this show. The only network with the guts to make a show right.",1
"I knew the ratings would be low.

But I knew what I was getting into, and I wasn't disappointed.

The actors probably knew it too, because the pacing and acting was just brilliantly comedic.

I loved every second of it.

Venom ; Let There Be Carnage disguises itself as this cool villain story, but it is actually a super hilariously over the top love comedy between Venom and Eddie.

It was most likely intended because the acting was really great if you view it as a comedy and not as a serious villain story. It's all about the perspective.

The marketing should have done better in that regards because most low ratings come from false advertising.",10
You must take this motorbike ride with Jeetu towards the rural roads of India.,8
"The most well written and funny TV show I have seen. Nothing is even close. What makes it so funny is that you can watch it over and over again and laugh at the same jokes, but for different reasons. There are easter eggs everywhere and running jokes that continues through the whole show.

That is probably also why it was canceled to begin with – you couldn't watch just one episode to understand the humor, but probably the full season before you caught all the jokes.

If you're looking for a show where you don't have to think, Arrested Development probably isn't for you. But if you actually give it a chance, at least 7 or 8 episodes, I almost guarantee you will love it.",9
"I liked it better when it was called Deadpool. In fact both Deadpools are better than this movie. Same superhero character. With worse jokes. And uninspired kills. For instance, they stole the lame Girl-shooting-while-riding-backwards motorcycle stunt from Knight and Day. And the Antoine Mogul character, tries way too hard to be clever / edgy but ends up just being annoying. The leads are supposed to be in love. But have zero chemistry. The dialogue is strictly after school special. Sorry to sound so negative. But it could have been so much more.",3
"The previous 2 films I have seen was Black Panther and Red Sparrow. Both left me leaving the cinema thinking that was good or wow, I didn't see that coming. This film did nothing. I sat there expecting to really be entertained. I wasn't. I didn't laugh, cry or was bothered about what happened to any of the characters. Half of it is like watching a video game, a dull one at that.",4
"I will never understand how it's possible that there was a time, not even that long ago, when modernized and supposedly civilized people treated other people like this. How? Why? HOW?

Nonetheless, I do have to say that, despite the harrowing subject matter, the movie lacked a certain amount of emotional depth and character development: The overall execution, on a purely cinematic level, could have been much better, in my opinion.

Then again, my heart did absolutely break into a million pieces for Patsey and her storyline really hit me very strongly. The ending brought more than a couple of tears to my eyes as well.",8
Just want to say only one word WOW... Kya baat Kya baat Kya baat,10
"Calling all sci-fi fans! If you haven't experienced the twisted, mind-bending world of ""Black Mirror"" yet, you're seriously missing out. This series takes the sci-fi genre to a whole new level, exploring the darker side of technology and the impact it could have on our lives.

Each episode of ""Black Mirror"" is like a mini-movie, with its own unique storyline and characters. From the trippy ""San Junipero"" to the anxiety-inducing ""Shut Up and Dance,"" you never know what you're going to get with this show. But one thing's for sure - you're in for a wild ride.

What's really cool about ""Black Mirror"" is how it manages to blend sci-fi with horror, comedy, and drama in a way that's never been done before. It's not just about cool gadgets and gizmos - it's about the human experience and how technology can change us for better or for worse.

So if you're looking for a sci-fi series that's totally unique, totally badass, and totally addictive, ""Black Mirror"" is the show for you. Just be prepared to have your mind blown!",9
"The original movie was fun and had some good twists. This is 8 interesting stores meshed together for a boring one. Like a play that they get a handful of A-listers together and it isn't good enough for theaters, but Netflix. LOL. We loved the COVID conspiracy joke. Have you seen movies where there are a bunch of stars but no magic? ISHTAR anyone? This is that in 2020 with a James Bond out of a job. His accent is fun. Overall more glitz than substance. Mom fell asleep. We were checking email and texting friends during the movie, not a good sign. They are setting this up as a series of movies. They have to get better.",4

"Season 4 poses on a fluent straight forward movement of the Stranger Things franchise, with a high action gory suspense with continuous story unfolding packed with high level of detail of characters, makes it a true watch till the end.. Criticism may come for the villain known as Vecna as it felt more like he was a more Of Talk- Then Show type villain yet Vecna""s origin story feels more deadly and satisfying and a lot of plot holes feel like they need to be covered for Season 5. Praise comes for the well written Storyline and plot, CGI and mostly giving an accurate dose of blood and action simultaneously to the different monsters and even by killing some some by characters ... Season 4 will be with no doubt the darkest season from all other 3 seasons, may the Duffer Brothers continue to make more shows like this.",9
"The start of this manhwa is great, as the tournament progresses theres a lot going on towards the end as the story thins out and a lot of characters appear. The pacing is very bad you can tell a lot was left out to try n squeeze it all into 13 episodes but that still didn't pan out well.",5
"(2017) American Made DOCU DRAMA

Loosely based on fact that happened during the 1980's, centering on the exploits of Barry Seal (Tom Cruise) who was initially a professional airline pilot before flying for the CIA exporting ammunition during the Fidel Castro regime. As he eventually goes rogue by also delivering hard drugs such as cocaine and heroin for cartels living in Honduras.

"This series feels like a parody of the overpowered hero done right. It is comdedic and its fight scenes are good. Saitama is a hero with a side kick. He is too strong for any of his foes and yet, this is what makes this show lovely.

"Lehane is a terrific writer and there was much to like about the book, including his wry humor, the nuances of the characters and the many twists and turns of plot. I was surprised at the casting choices, including Casey Affleck (who looked too young), the child's mother (who looked too old), the police captain (who changed races), the detective ""Bressant"" (far too hard-bitten and one dimensional a character) and Cheese (how did he get to be a Haitian street lord, and why wasn't he in prison?). The character depiction of the detective (Broussard, inexplicably changed to Bressant) that made his compliance with the conspiracy believable in the book was also unfortunately missing in the film, and it came off as just another predictable, die-cut Ed Harris performance. I confess that Casey Affleck's performance grew on me a bit through the course of the film, but the casting was still wrong, and undercut his believability as regards the supposed maturity and experience of the character. (Hmmm, I wonder if being the brother of the director had anything to do with the choice?) His raspy, mumbling Boston accent was often difficult to follow, right from the opening narration (which I found unconvincing when I could understand it). Both of the cops were badly cast, IMO, as the partner who ultimately died is a warmed-over character actor who always, always plays a cop. I found myself trying to remember what other films I'd seen him play cops in. The events at the quarry, which were so central to the book, were glossed over and greatly diminished in the film. I forgot to mention that Freeman's performance seemed tired and uninspired, even in the final scenes. Just another payday for him. Perhaps it's unfair to compare the book and the film, but as a faithful adaptation of the book (why do I keep expecting this??) it pretty much sucked. I would have to conclude that the ""screenwriters"" either speed-read the book and missed most of what made it special, or saw it but didn't know how to make it work on screen. Big brother Affleck gets a C- for his directorial debut, as (in my opinion) he failed to wrest anything golden from his players, and a D- as a screenwriter, for missing the best parts of the book. This seemed to me more like a movie-of-the-week with a couple of high-priced actors thrown in to get people to watch. Music score was okay but forgettable. Two bones.",4
"This movie was just so fun to watch. I'm not personally a fan of barbie, never really played with them or interacted with the IP in anyway, but just the pure outlandish absurdity of this movie and the over-the-top acting... I couldn't stop laughing throughout most of the runtime.

Based on how the movie was marketed, I was 100% expecting to be pondering the question, ""what does it mean to exist?"" by the end. Well, the movie pondered the question, came to a conclusion, and then told me what that conclusion was in a way that was very clear and easy to understand. Personally, I like when a movie isn't exactly clear. I like when I have to dig a little, think about it, discuss it with other people. With Barbie, I felt no need for that. The message was crystal clear. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing, but it was just a little too on the nose for my taste.

All in all, a super fun watch. I saw this with my family. We bought popcorn, milkshakes, and it was a great time.",7

"I have never played Witcher, or read the books, and I know nothing of the story or premiss. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the show, Henry Cavill was fantastic, and all the characters are intriguing to watch.

Fantastic world building, no hand-holding, very immersive.

Only critique: plot can be hard to follow, the three or so storylines only converge on episode 4 or even later. Just know that the season spans several decades, and jumps backwards and forwards to tell the story, which is hard to judge as many characters don't age.",9
"I have never commented on a movie before, but I would really like to state how much I enjoyed the film ""Parineeta"". I am from the India diaspora (third generation) and though I don't speak any Indian languages, I enjoy watching Hindi films.

This is the first time I am seeing Saif Ali Khan in such a mature role which is very becoming of his character. His acting was superb. He could even act as The Great Gatsby, rendering a very romantic and longing portrayal of a fragile love circumstance. His attire and demeanor, expressions were very appealing. Hats off to the direction of this wonderful story of an earlier time.

Vidya is also extremely beautiful. Her acting was fantastic for a newcomer. She has that rare beauty that is not often seen in the film actresses these days. Please bring her in more films, especially these types of dramatic roles. I would love to see these two in another film.

I have seen the film twice.

The music was very endearing, romantic and very suitable for this film.

Wonderful movie.",10
"I guess the title says it all. Essentially the movie is a ""passing of the torch"" kind of story that tries to convey that capitalism is a good thing for everyone, and that it always was and always will be with us.

DeNiro's character represents ""the old guard,"" while Hathaway portrays the newer generation, and they have a very predictable mentor-teacher relationship.

While telling a ton of endearing feel-good stories about working hard and getting your pay off, the film unknowingly establishes the reality of the failed meritocracy. The story's hero is someone who comes out of retirement and starts working at an entry-level job. He does it not for any financial reason but because he is ""bored."" He is very laid back and calm, while (younger) people around him are nervous, suffer, and don't know what to do. Leaving aside the unrealism of it all (in most cases, people have a hard time retiring and then keeping living in NY), the film shows that actually, the only people who can feel comfortable in the cutthroat capitalist reality are people who don't have anything invested in it.

While the cinematography is great, the film looks expensive and all; there is nothing of substance here, only a very predictable narrative that will anger anyone who is not 100% in the rat race.",2
"I bought the hype, really excited about the cast and trailers enticed me to talk my girl into going on a date night for what should have been a great film. Both of us fell asleep it was so slow and dull. The payoff, unremarkable and disappointing.",3
"To me Kangana was always a fine actress ever since her debut in Gangster Fact was she was not able to get the due credit for her previous movies. Queen changes it completely not only because Kangana was great, but also because the whole movie revolved around her in a way that you can never dislike anything of the movie.

Kangana plays a typical small town girl, who has this shock of her life when her fiancée dumps her few days before the wedding. This leaves her in grief, but her determination to enjoy her holiday alone and all the things that she comes across in her journey is what Queen tells about.

Queen is a perfect movie for the Women's day considering it shows the determination, the courage and the zeal that the woman carries with her even though she has been dumped by her fiancée. Kangana essays that role perfectly and so have the supporting cast including Lisa Haydon and Rajkumar Rao. Kudos to Anurag Kashyap for bringing such kind of movies to the fore.

All in all, Queen is entertaining and leaves you with a smile at the end.GO WATCH IT!!!!!",9
"Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is overstuffed and needlessly convoluted. Credence's overemphasized backstory has excessive twists, Kama has no lasting impact, Leta only serves as a misdirect, and Nagini is pointless fan service. Collectively, these missteps detract from the main subjects of Newt, Jacob/Queenie, and Grindelwald/Dumbledore. Overall, there are just too many characters to properly establish emotional connections with anyone. Plus, the payoffs aren't worth the mental investments, so the film is a tiring slog with heavy exposition and an anticlimactic ending. Each performance from the interesting cast is good, but wasted on meandering material.

Meanwhile, The Crimes of Grindelwald's filmmaking has a compounding flaw. The intricate sound gets symbolic, the elaborate production design remains cohesive, the music is complimentary, and the effects are comprehensive (although overdone). However, the faulty editing overshadows all this because The Crimes of Grindelwald doesn't flow. Side plotlines feel like tedious interruptions, missing establishing shots disjoint action sequences, and butchered pacing rushes key character development. Ultimately, The Crimes of Grindelwald has technical strengths, but isn't enjoyable to watch. Tone, tempo, and focus issues make The Crimes of Grindelwald a miss for most viewers.

"I do not endorse racism, and something like that, but Sapkovski, whose pen belongs the book, wrote, that ""Elves have a very light skin colour. There are two types of Elves: some have blonde hair and light blue eyes, others have brown hair and bright green eyes"". This is very good, that film has international acting team, but let's do not change the world of the Book!",8
"If you consider watching The Punisher i suggest you should stop after season 1. Honestly i really enjoyed season 1 it wasn't perfect but it was really good it had a really gripping story form ep 1 to 13 and episode ""Home"" is one of the best episodes i've seen in a tv-show. Unfortunately it could'nt keep it up for the second season the only good thing in season 2 is the acting and that's basically it. Season 1 = 8.8 Season 2 = 5.0",8

"Yes, the plot was weird (but I actually think it has more to do with the cutting than the plot itself) And yes there were lots of things totally absurd that made my inner potterhead cringe. But I found the cast (especially Johnny Depp and Jude Law) really good and the soundtrack was dazzling. I liked the fact that it was dark.

It made me want to see more of it. Can't wait for the next one (but hope it will clear things a little because this one raised many questions.).",7

"I loved the first knives out, so when I read that Netflix was making a sequel to it I was straight on board. And now having watched it I have to say it was well worth the wait. Danial Craig is once again back as detective blanc, the American accent is a little off putting but he does do it well. This time he is tasked with solving a murder at a man named miles island. He is Edward Norton and its good to see him in a movie for the first time in a while. We also have a group of misfits that are his old friends. Birdie played by kate hudson, dave beautista as duke.janelle monae as andy. Kathryn hahn as clair.leslie odom jr as.lionel, madeyln cline as whisky. And someone who I thought was a pretty good performance and that was jessica henwick as peg, she kind of blended into the backgroup in scenes but to me her performance should still be note worthy. Really the whole cast of this movie were well put together and with a few cameos that were also nice. Overall a pretty successful sequal and one that I look forword to maybe a third one of.",8
"Before I saw this movie I heard nothing but great reviews saying it was hilarious and ten times better then Pineapple Expres( my favorite movie of the yea). But when I saw it I was incredibly disappointed. I laughed twice. The first was when Jack Black wanted to suck Alpa's cock. The second when Tug is attacked by his so called son. Maeby my expectations where a little to high, but it just wasn't good. The action was okay but nothing great. Downey Jr was pretty good it it and is the reason I'm not giving it a 1 on 10. If you want to see an action comedy that succeeds on both accounts then go see Pineapple Express and leave this to the die.",2
"Harry Potter was always a hit and miss franchise (at least in movie format) however what it lacked in being technically 'good' it was always fun and filled with enough excitement that it instilled a sense of magic within me. Deathly Hallows part 1 however seriously failed to meet my expectations. The film starts off with and awesome shot of Bill Nighy promising magic and fun and a battle between teen wizards and the gestapo, what we get however is 2 hours of extremely slow paced plot dabbled with wizarding fights. Don't get me wrong I LOVED some of the parts though the parts that I did love were so few and far between that at times it seemed like a chore to watch. I understand that this film was setting up everything for part 2 and that they wanted to split the book into 2 fairly lengthy films BUT this really wasn't necessary if it meant losing the thrilling nature of the film. I would've been perfectly happy to sit through 3 hours of fast paced frivolity compared to 2 hours of dribble that MAYBE will pick up in part 2.

As always my respect for Daniel Radcliffe flies out the door the moment he opens his mouth. If you were expecting great acting from the guy then I seriously pity you. That being said there was some STUPENDOUS acting from Rhys Ifans, Ralph Finnes, Alan Rickman and Bill Nighy. They stopped at no expense to get the best English actors in this film to play supporting roles. Throw Daniel Day-Lewis into the mix and I would've forgiven everything else about the film and given it a 10/10.

I seriously hope that part 2 does live up to the fast paced thrill ride that the rest of the series has been, If not then Part 1 has completely gone to waste.

I'm afraid I can only give this film a better than average. 6.5/10",5
"I know only the basics of chess and am an appalling player. I understood nothing of the strategies and only barely know the names of the positions on the board. . Despite that, this was mesmerizing! It's a beautiful film cinematically. It is heartbreak and triumph. It is the good, the bad, and the ugly of humanity. It is the struggle and dedication of talent and craft. I wasn't sure this would hold my attention, but I couldn't stop watching and it! I couldn't help feeling it! I don't know how anyone made a series about chess so riveting, but it was a beauty!",8
"I am not sure what I had expected of this series, but I quit watching after some few episodes.

Martin Short, better said his alter ego just can't stop running with his mouth, going on machine gun speed, the girl played by Selena Gomez is neutral for me, at least she is an eyecatcher, and Steve Martin (Brazzo) tries his best to rescue the whole thing called, lets say ""crime comedy"".

For me both criterias fail.

It is in a way funny, but not funny enough even though everybody tries hard to be funny and chaotic, (in my opinion they try way too hard, and you can feel it!), and it is in a way interesting, but not interesting or thrilling enough to keep me watching.

The story and setting for sure have potential... As said before, I have expected more.",4
"In this grey and gritty detective mini-series set in a close-knit small American community - you could be blinded into thinking the pace and content is completely original - but if you've seen any ""Nordic-Noir"" or European dark detective television over the last decade you'll know the score. It's bleak, morally complex, there are twists upon twists, our central authority figure is always a step behind and has serious personal baggage they have to wrestle with at the same time. It's just exactly that, but with a clutter of A-listers doing Delco accents on the suburban east coast of the US.

This isn't to undermine it, though, it's a solid gold formula and the twists are fast and fairly smart. There's a solid cast of characters, some beautiful cinematography and the performances are electric. Winslet is the undisputed anchor point here and she's earned every plaudit she gets with some seriously solid character work. She's said Mare is her most gruelling role to date and every single glance and mumble feels thought through - the minute she lopes into a scene she transforms it utterly.

So this didn't set me entirely alight but I did doggedly watch the whole thing. When the series reaches its devastating conclusion, some of the red herrings thrust in to keep it twisting along the way feel rather perfunctory in retrospect and there are a few glaring plot holes which seem a shame but transposing the well-worn nordic crime model to the US works well generally and it's a fantastic showcase for Winslet's serious performance chops.",7
"It's an okay movie to watch, lots of action sequences, however; the storyline has no WOW factor.",5
Forward moving story from the opening screen like soldiers are asked to do forward men. This movie moves like a soldier always forward no time to reflect no flashbacks forward onwards into the unknown.,7
"I saw the ""famous"" Matrix 3 years ago, after all the hype, I waited for the video. I wasn't like ""Oh, I know this is going to suck."" I had an open mind. I do like this movie for one reason, it made me realize: MY GENERATION RELYS ON COMPUTER EFFECTS?!?!?!!?!?!?!!??! There is practically no plot, crumie acting(except for Morphious), all effects, and just an excuse for computer nerds to get together for this crap.

I mean, Spiderman I could deal somewhat, but man. This was nothing. All the actors got in front of a green screne and the director is like ""Ok, pretend that something scary is coming at you!"" Wow, what motivation. I got really bored, tried watching it (going on 5) again, nothing. I can't get it, and I wish Keanu the best of luck. Because I hope the sequal will have more luck.

"What I'm really am hoping for is a season 2.

This show made me laugh & cry, but it really is intended more for girls, than guys. Guys are usually care free, girls on the other hand worry what EVERYONE thinks, as is the case of Hannah. Sure she does come off as a ""Drama Queen"" for the first 6 or even 7 episodes, but things start to take a dark turn for the worst as you progress higher through the Tapes. See Hannah recorded why she committed suicide on 7 cassette tapes, and if you don't make it to the 7th tape, you will be missing many pieces to this crazy puzzle. It makes a great show to watch while working.

It seems many of my friends who love this show, also love the Walking Dead, as for me I hate that show, and it took several episodes than normal for me to get into this show.

Either way, if your not from the USA, or perhaps Canada, than don't bother with this show, because it is intended for anyone who was a kid in an American high school, and if you were not, you will be missing some key culture understanding.",9
"Why does Disney/MCU keep doing this? Its like they are trying to change the dynamics of the superhero action genre. Its Moon Night, not, lets try to grab an Academy Award for Isacc. 5 minutes of Moon Night per episode is not enough. Don't get me wrong, He is a good actor in this but I cannot invest my time through another mediocre MCU/Star Wars series.

They know the recipe for awesome storylines, to action, to acting. Hint: Loki and The Mandalorian. Then we get Fed now-Moon Night and Boba Fett. The good parts come in spurts that keep your attention, then I drift off checking the news on my phone or doing something else. For the first time i have not watched a complete episode, yet I have sat through the first 4 and done now. I bet I can wait and Just watch the last episode and not miss a thing.",4
"If you like both ""tipical Spain"" I recommend Torrente's films Blessings",2

"Well made, competently directed, cleverly scripted: yes. But I've rarely seen such an unpleasant film. To me, Pulp Fiction summarises everything that's wrong with modern film-making. We are asked to laugh at someone being shot in the head, to find violence ""cool"" and to be entertained by murder and drug addiction. None of the characters are remotely sympathetic and I don't think I'm alone in needing some one to ""root for"" in order to enjoy a film.

I hate to sound moralistic (I'm an atheist, but hopefully humanist). However, I have to side with the minority who found this film excessive in all the wrong ways. I find it genuinely disturbing that so many people enjoyed it.",2
"I can't do a full review since I couldn't watch it in its entirety. But from what my wife and I saw, we decided it was not for us. Thank God we got this as a free rental, even then it was not worth the time and energy to pick it up and drop it off at a Redbox kiosk.. The movie for us was confusing and hard to follow. Perhaps things made sense if we watched it beyond the 1/2 hour we gave it. It is amazing it got such positive reviews. For those of you who like a dark and a much is happening movie, this may be one for you.",2

"So the 2016 Fantasy, adventure movie ""Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"", which is a Prequel to Harry Potter films Directed by Davis Yates. This stars Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander, a guy who is looking through old New York City many years before harry potter story, and he is looking for various creatures that has escaped from his magical suitcase. I myself am also a very huge Harry Potter fan since my childhood. And I enjoyed all Harry Potter movies too. Not only the movies but also the books as well. Fantastic Beasts is also written by J.K Rowling and once again she has shown herself to be one of the most imaginative writers working today. You can't stop admiring her creativity as you see the movie. I love all the creature designs, just like all the harry potter films Fantastic Beasts also has able to live up to everyone's expectations. What really I liked about the movie, was the way it was constructed. Action sequences and special effects are stunning. Setting up the main characters is also interesting. One other important thing to notice here is that Fantastic Beasts doesn't rely on Harry Potter films. Of course it's in the same universe, but you can't say that it's just a prototype of Harry Potter movies. It has a completely different taste. This movie stands on its own. It is something fresh, something new, something appreciable, and something definitely to be praised. Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander is amazing in the movie. He is very likable and extremely charming. Dan Fogler as Jacob Kowalski, who is a non magical normal person; also known as muggle. He kind of caught up in this whole journey unintentionally. He really added a lot in this movie like lot of humors, lot of funny moments. Katherine Waterston as Tina Goldstein also looks to be the perfect choice for her character. She is investigating the things that are going on in the New York City. She has done an incredible job. I especially liked Colin Farrell playing the villain character here. Who finally turns out to be none other but Johnny Depp. That finale scene of Jonny Deep is really cool and it looks awesome when it comes to the screen. Ezra Millar performed as required. His character is very dark, very powerful and also very horrible. A lot of stuffs are going on in this movie at the same time. This movie literally gave a perfect platform for many future projects. It's an extremely entertaining film; it is amazing and fun to watch at any time. The soundtrack by James Newton Howard is without a doubt the best. You kind of get nostalgic when the modified version of old Harry Potter music comes in the movie at several parts. Thanks for reading guys.",7
"Red Sparrow brings the world of espionage to you in a gritty, hard-hitting way that reminds one of the cold-war, as if, as one of the characters in the film remarks, never really ended.

The relatively low rating of the film prepared one to go with moderate expectations, but the story-line is complex, has enough twists and turns to keep one occupied through, with lots of focus on details. The premise of the search for a mole within the Russian intelligence establishment is interesting to begin with, and as one gets deeper into the lives of the protagonists, the difficult choices they face, and the compromises they end up making, it's pure cinematic joy. Can't imagine how we ended up with a 6.6 rating here.

Jennifer Lawrence really gets into the role of Dominika. We feel her pain, we cringe at her disgust, and her fear makes us scared too. If anything, it's worth watching the movie only for her, but no, we get more, much more, ably supported by Joel Edgerton, Jeremy Irons , Ciaran Hinds, Joely Richardson. Last, but not the least, I like the portrayal of her uncle, played by Matthias Schoenaerts. His response, at the end, when the truth is revealed, is priceless.

A must-watch.",10
"Excellent acting by DiCaprio and Pitt is the only feature of this movie for which it gets 6/10. The Oscar nominations, except for these two, are not on merit. many other pictures of the year are much better. And what was Margot Robbie doing in this picture? I mean, her being there or not has no impact. What was the point? And the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay is the biggest blasphemy committed by the Academy. This picture and its Oscars nominations are the proof that perception management can make even the most ordinary things look and seem stellar in people's minds. Also, it proves yet again that movies made about actors in particular and hollywood in general will continue to be Academy's favorite.",6
"Music was repetitive not much variety, theme didn't really line up with the previous Thor movies and had more of a futuristic yet fluro 80s feel which was not fitting in different ways. Some of the dialog was bad and wasn't really that funny. Thors acting felt a little off and plain. Outfits felt not right for Thor and his brother. The grandmaster should of had some more screen time. Animation and sound effects were good as usual",4
"The movie itself was ok i guess, but the overt far left ideology is all over this film. White man bad, woman strong, black men are virtuous and heroic. It's so obvious they even have the old white guy say a Trump punchline. I'm sick of this stuff in all these new movies. Give it up already and just make a movie like the old days. You know like 5 years ago before the Trump derangement syndrome kicked in and made everyone think we are surrounded by Nazis. The msm has brainwashed the sheep it's actually very sad.",2
"Good one. Anurag Basu has rocked in this movie.

4 sotries are inter connected to each other.",8
"If you have a 30 million dollar budget, I hope you get some things right. The cinematography and aesthetic quality of the film were pretty great and it had its emotional moments.

Emma Stone & Ryan Gosling respectively breathed life into their inherently boring & unoriginal roles. The story itself kinda makes me want to vomit in my mouth, though it did seem like they were going for a rather corny set up so I won't let personal bias get in the way of that.

Bottom line, you don't really care about either of these characters. Their love is nothing gripping, its not forbidden or difficult for that matter, and he doesn't even have to try and woo her, just keeps running into her and eventually he must think ""alright might as well give it a try this is the 5th time i've seen her""

cannot believe that this has a 99% rating on sites I usually rely on, must be a candidate for the most over-hyped movie of all time, and to the critics that gave it 10 stars shame on you for diluting the quality Hollywood should be able to achieve.

If you want an award winning movie that delivers on raw & truthful emotion and the human experience, see what Moonlight did for 1/20th (yes, check me) the budget.",6
"The movie is good and I enjoyed, but I feel that if it wasn't for this great cast the people wouldn't care about it that much and it was them alongside with the great production that capitalized it, not the story itself. Still a great movie with cool scenes and a good overall picture",7
This was a fun movie that had an entertaining cast. Ryan Reynolds is up to his usual witty one liners that he is becoming more and more known for. Its a Netflix original so there is a lot of blood and some really graphic scenes. But its fast paced action movie that was a lot of fun to watch. Not a ton in the way of plot but enough to keep the audience interested. I was a little disappointed with the lack of background on the main character and thought it could have been delved into better.,7
"Sound editing was Crap!! Acting was Crap!! Accents were Crap!! How much money did Jennifer Lawrence take to do this Crap?? She is so much better than this Crap!! I guess for enough money, anyone will do Crap!! Big disappointment. Only good thing that I can say is...""we DIDN'T pay to see this Crap!"" Got it free from library. ??? Where do I send the bill for 2hours 12minutes of my life while enduring this Crap??",1
"To say that this movie is confusing is but an understatement.

Horrible, horrible editing, with scenes going back and forth in time without any meaning, making the whole experience unpleasant and difficult to watch.

I really tried - and succeeded - to watch it till the end, hoping that it would get better eventually, but it never did, unfortunately.

A good idea, and a potentially good scenario ruined by nonsensical editing.

To this day I ask myself what was the guy doing on top of the overturned boat all by himself, how did he get there, why was he by himself, where were the rest... Never got an answer to any of these questions.

Otherwise good special effects, pity that they were ruined in the end by the scenario and editing.",6

"This movie is good (very good at best) but far from masterpiece. First the bad sides. With pace like that movie feels almost one hour too long. You are going to feel every minute from 164 that it has on your ass. Another reason that contributes to that is often jumping from one character subplot to another without much coherence which often breaks tempo of the movie. Also, the plot is actually much simpler than I expected (not in a good way) but it doesn't seems like that. But the worst part is Nolan's trying to make this movie larger than it really is. Because of that almost every conversation between characters is more pathetic that it should be, music is more loud than epic (I'm Zimmer's fan but the music more recycled than it is original) and so on. Also Nolan effectively destroyed everything scary and menacing about Bane at the end in the ""truth"" scene and the end itself is disappointing as well. There is also one big illogical thing in movie. Everyone speaks about Dent but nobody about Joker! I know it's probably because of respect for H. Ledger, but I think that at least somebody would remember that once upon time one man dressed as crazy clown made quite a big mess in Gotham. Now the good sides. Acting is excellent from almost everyone. Anne Hathaway's acting (and looks) is surprisingly good, and Hardy didn't disappoint as well. Special effects are phenomenal and sound editing is great (if we put batman's ""famous"" voice aside). Story pretty much holds water (most of the time) , it's dark and it has few solid twists inside. When the action starts almost everything is perfect. Fight scenes are intense and brutal and there are more than enough explosions to satisfy even Michael Bay. The good sides are more often than the bad ones and because of that movie isn't that bad at all. Everything considered this movie isn't as good as ""Batman Begins"" nor as personal (or good) like ""The Dark Knight"". It also isn't amusing or funny like ""The Avengers"". It's quest for greatness consumed the movie itself...",6
"Politically correct casting, fake characters, stupid dialogs, awful script. The world is dead and these people are flirting and having sex. A man saw his wife burning alive, yet a few moments later he is fine and telling funny jokes. The two pregnant women give birth at the exact same moment. No drama, no suspense. And the black guy is just missing a white horse in order to be the perfect prince. He even advised a mother how to raise children although he doesn't have any children of his own. If you want to watch another bad Sandra Bullock movie, knock yourself out. Otherwise there hundreds of better movies out there...",1
"I Know that the Original Game of Thrones raise the bar pretty high, but this prequel to GOT is really boring it lacks the good writing, the acting, The complexity of characters that made GOT so great. Two points to make, first the time jumps are a huge distraction that instead of helping move the narrative forward it creates a confusing history line. Second in this type of series, is very important for the audience to empathize with the main characters (I felt the pain with Hodor's death, I felt sorry for Cersei walk of shame or the shock of the red weeding) that is a great character development when the audience become an extension of the characters but in this series by adding and deleted characters so often, there is not enough time to feel anything for them, this whole series It feels rushed is more important to move the narrative than to develop the characters, Not sure if is the fault of the directors, producers, or writers but they just left the bar on the floor!",1
"This is a technical genius of Indian Cinema. One of the best films ever made. One film I personally can even think of parallel y in terms of quality would be Omkara. Dev D is not a film but a reflection of Indian youth as it is in the new century. If there was something called a psychedelic film this would definitely be the one. The soundtrack itself through out the film creates a unparalleled atmosphere. Blended superbly is the story and the characters. I am not a movie critic but I have seen IMDb top 250 and exhaustively Korean, french , Italian and Brazilian movies. This movie stand apart from the rest. There will never be another Dev D like there will never be another Avatar or Schindler's list. The only reason this film did not get worldwide recognition it deserves because it is an Indian film maybe and there should be more exposure of Indian films.

If you are not from India, and you are reading this review, watch this film once. Please make a point of watching it with headphones on or good loudspeakers. Watch it at a time, when you are most relaxed and trust me, you will never forget this film. I can personally guarantee that any Indian worth his taste in films, have not watched this movie less than a couple of times.

Enjoy the film. I don't write much review, but I like sharing the happiness i get from watching great films. More so, if i can share it with someone not from my country. Dev D is a reflection of India of the 21st century. A India you may have not seen or thought off. This will change your perception of the country to a large extent and will definitely be one of your favorite movies of all time. Blurays are available with subtitles. But trust me, except for some dialogues, the film will reach you beyond the barriers of language.

If you are in your 20s, or early 30s, and if you have not watched Dev D , you cannot say you have watched world cinema.

I think Schindler's list should be IMDb's no. 1 film and i think Dev D definitely would deserve a place in that list's top 15 if it was watched by the world at large. So watch the film, you will love it, share it with your friends. After-all that's what watching movies is all about. Enjoy with a drink or whatever makes you feel good. :) Adios..",10
"""City on a Hill"" is an incredible show that is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

Produced by Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Jennifer Todd, this show follows the story of a corrupt FBI agent and a district attorney in Boston who work together to battle the city's criminal underworld.

The show's writers perfectly capture the gritty realities of Boston's criminal underworld and the complex web of relationships between characters, making viewers truly feel the tension of the story.

Kevin Bacon's portrayal of FBI Agent Jackie Rohr is exemplary, as he is able to capture both the inner turmoil and moral ambiguity of his character. His performance is both convincing and captivating, making it easy for viewers to empathize with Jackie's struggles.

The series talented cast also includes Aldis Hodge, and Jonathan Tucker, who all bring their characters to life.

This is a must see show that is sure to leave audiences wanting more.

Highly recommended!",8

"This is a movie for the18+ crowd. This is a serious popcorn cruncher movie. John Travolta, Samuel Jackson, Bruce Willis, Uma Thurman, Tim Roth, and Vhing Rhames all make this film worth watching. Typical and predictable plot. I enjoy performances from Bruce Willis and Vhing Rhames. Males may like this film better that females. A good ""guy get together"" film. Although John Travolta is not one of my favorite actors, he gives a somewhat believable performance for his character. Because John Travolta is one of the main characters, I rated it down. John Travolta plays a character that is too slick to be believable. It was Bruce Willis, Vhing Rhames, and Uma Thurman who help save this film. This movie is about 20 minutes too long. It could have had tighter editing.",2
"GOT Started with great 6 seasons but had worst ending seasons. This series starting itself irritating and running the race with awful performances and direction. HBO and directors are in hurry to make sure audiences running away from TV or streaming screens. Each episode has long useless scenes with quick jump and without building the characters.

The acting from the main characters are irritating with no sense. The graphics are ok but could have utilised more with latest technology. There are some lengthy awkward scenes which could have been avoided or should be part of the story without rush to enjoy it.",6

The story is also rather lacking and never gets me interested.

The effects are good for the time and Kiera Knightley is charming but this just wasn't my cup of tea.",5

The script so far is very basic, and the casting feels off and some of them are just unbearable. I gave it a few stars because the production value is impressive. But other than that, feels like a discount version of The Walking Dead. It's also annoying how they just resort to the typical theatrics and gross factors. I also feel the editing and pacing can be improved. There's cuts in odd places, and the pace is way too slow in some parts and way too fast in other parts. I'll give it another chance and update if it improves, but so far, it doesn't live up to the hype.",3
"I had extremely high hopes, for this movie. From word-of-mouth, to the success it had at this year's Golden Globes, I was excited to see this. It contained an ensemble cast of actors, whose work I have cherished, and directed by the talented Martin McDonagh!

All was going well until the 45th minute, or so--when the plot and performances began to nosedive (for me). I have genuinely never experienced a situation, like this, previously. The first 45mins are gripping. The performances compelling. The dialogue, raw.

And then...it loses itself. Suddenly, comedy is introduced--and I mean, suddenly. Rockwell's character begins to act in such an overly oafish way. It's cartoonish.

Other characters, who are initially presented as vile, suddenly are portrayed in a more favourable light--but without reason.

Take this example, where McDormand's ex-husband comes back to the home, has a violent & threatening conversation with her. Complete with table flipping, and physical assault--which is only halted when the teenage son puts a knife to the father's throat. High stakes, right?

Then--for some inexplicable reason--it chooses this point in the story, to introduce the husband's new 19-yr old companion. In the middle of this extremely tense scene, suddenly this new character comes in, and provides a comedic foil by using a tired stereotype, of a young lady (pretty, but dumb).

I have never watched a movie while continually muttering ""Oh, please..."", as much as I did, with this one. Like I said...right around the 45min point, the script, plot and performances became a lot less believable.

I will watch anything that McDormand stars in, and to be fair--her performance alone, is compelling.

But I found this movie to be a huge disappointment. It can't decide if it's a drama, a dark comedy, a Cohen Brothers production, or all of the above. It literally felt like they had switched editors, a third into the movie. It's a shame.

POST-SCRIPT: Those who are claiming this movie is racist (?!), are ridiculous, and should not be listened to.",5
"In short the movie was terrific. In spite of the big cast, the story has been built up beautifully. Every one has had their chance to make a mark in the movie. The fighting scenes were shown beautifully. It was planned and made perfectly. This marks the beginning of the 3rd phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Marvel did it with style. The 3rd phase already got a kick-start. The story had a different theme here. Marvel has always launched a solo film of every superhero before adding them to a cast in the big banner movies. But this time they did well and experimented by adding Black Panther to the cast who hasn't yet had a solo movie. Apart from all the brilliant performances, the addition of Spider- Man to this Universe was welcoming. Hope this phase also builds up the story of Infinity War slowly and steadily. And the road leads to the end in an interesting way. Also waiting for the rest of the movies of the third phase, especially the new heroes that are to be introduced to the Universe. Hope they also does well and the story is connected.",9
"I've been lucky enough to have seen this show from inception to end and again many times after. In modern day animation and story telling it's nigh on perfect. There's plenty of other reviews here that go deeper into detail but for me it's a show with heart,humility,humour and it's message can,should and hopefully will transcend generations. Already my two sons love it and have watched it several times.

The scenes where Aang enters the Avatar state still give me goosebumps.",10
"This movie is relentless with the laughs. Hill, Cera, Mintz-Plasse, Hader, and Rogen all contribute to make this one of the funniest films I've ever seen. There are so many memorable parts to this movie that I couldn't even count them on one hand. Such a great script, clever too, not sure there has been better written comedy released since. At the very least you should watch the McLovin ID scene.",10
"Seriously, you call your sequel let their be Carnage yet make it pg13 which limits everything! Carnage has always been about violence and to a certain degree as is venom. It's bad enough they made venom ""good"" they sterilized carnage as well! I had such high hopes for this but was left saying what the F!

This film should be rated low AF but sadly people are so indoctrinated into crappy movies they no longer can make proper determinations.",4
"Alrighty then. Well, I had no idea that they were turning this particular vehicle game into a TV series. And as I stumbled upon it by random luck here in 2023, I must admit that my initial thoughts were 'great, another game adaptation doomed to fail'. And let's just be honest here, as much as I enjoyed the games, there just isn't enough contents in terms of storyline to support something like a TV series. But bless director Kitao Sakurai for trying.

And of course I opted to sit down and watch this TV series. However, after the first four episodes, I must admit that I was good and ready to give up and call it quits, because this was a drag and very disappointing. However, I opted to stick with it, and actually managed to sit through all ten episodes of season one.

Episodes five, nine and ten were worth watching, the rest? Not so much. Yeah, for a ten episode TV series based on a game where the concept is vehicle destruction and mayhem, you would assume that you would get that in an abundance on the screen, right? Right! Well, wrong, because you hardly have that at all. Instead, you get a sappy soap opera set in a dystopian setting. And that just didn't really play out all that well.

While ""Twisted Metal"" was supposed to be John Doe's (played by Anthony Mackie) and Quiet's (played by Stephanie Beatriz) show, it ended up being Sweet Tooth's (played by Joe Seanoa and voiced by Will Arnett) show. Hands down, it was the clown Sweet Tooth that carried this TV show, and he wasn't even in every episode.

The dialogue had a lot of dark humor, which definitely added to the overall enjoyment of the ten episodes. Again, even with the dialogue, it was Sweet Tooth that carried the series.

""Twisted Metal"" from director Kitao Sakurai hardly does the games any justice. So don't get your hopes up. But then again, basing a TV show on the meager contents there is to the games, well that was just simply boiling soup on a flat broth.

Visually then ""Twisted Metal"" was fair enough. I wasn't bedazzled or overly impressed with the special effects and CGI in the series, but it was sufficient and adequate enough for what it was, taking into consideration the premise of the TV series.

I can't claim that season one was impressive or particularly entertaining, but at least it leaves the audience with a promise of turning future seasons into what the audience (and fans of the games) were waiting, looking and hoping for; vehicular violence and roadrage.

My rating of ""Twisted Metal"", at least this first season, lands on a generous four out of ten stars.",4
"This film is depressing, long winded, partly boring and has an illogical and poorly developed plot. Character play isn't good enough to make up the mess they made out of it. Not much left of the action packed glamour of the earlier movies. Don't waste your time on it!",1
The movie is just so boring that I Saw it in Just an hour and everything was predictable.,5
What a load of crap... It was like someone trying to do a tarantino movie and they've never seen one... The best bit was the last scene... The build up was a tremendous disappointment... A real slap in the face to Sergio Leone if that was his motivation....Will never watch again unless I get ol' timers.,4
"One of the best movies, so gripping, engaging and entertaining. Highly recommended. Everyone's performance was top-notch. Plot twists are awesome.

One of the best movies in recent times. Can we get a spin-off or second part. This is absolutely brilliant movie. Every one was top notch, special eye catcher Sikander Kher, Radhika Apte. Loved bgm, songs and those plot twists.

Huma Qureshi absolutely won me over in the film.

What an amazing movie after a long time. Wondering if this movie would have released in theatres it would have been fun more.

Let's give a round of applause to Sukant goel too.",10
"Not worth the watch, it doesn't get better no matter how long you watch it. The sitcom jokes are unfunny and the only people liking this are hardcore MCU fans who don't care about quality and only quantity",2
"Let me preface this by stating that I am a big Christopher Nolan fan. Following the success of his ""Dark Knight"" trilogy, plus standalone movies ""Inception"" and ""The Prestige"", we have something of a one-man franchise. Warner Bros signed off on the biggest pre-approved budget in movie history to make ""Interstellar"" without even seeing a script.

Going into the movie, I knew that with this kind of creative freedom, there were always going to be a couple of self-indulgent bits and perhaps a few ideas and sequences that the producers would have viciously vetoed with a less powerful director at the helm. But I didn't mind. In today's remake and reboot happy Hollywood, I sat back to enjoy what might be the last movie in a quite a while with an A-list director, completely original story, and a money-no-object budget.

Which is why I'm sorry to report that this movie just didn't work for me at all. The problem is that it's not really a movie. It's about three different kinds of movie mixed together, into one very complex but rather indigestible dish. This same approach worked for ""The Dark Knight"", where Nolan threw everything but the kitchen sink into the screenplay and somehow made it all work. Unfortunately, lightning hasn't struck twice for Interstellar. Nolan's intergalactic juggernaut struggles to get off the ground, and when it's finally up there, doesn't really know what to do with itself. Sort of similar to the real space programme.

The film opens fairly slowly, mostly in a dusty Midwestern farming community. No problem, in theory - ""Star Wars"" and ""Superman"" both openedlike this, and both were great movies. Then lots of talking heads pop up, like in a documentary. Then, they vanish, and we find ourselves in the middle of what feels like a Depression-era movie with a single father struggling to raise two wayward children on his own.

We get a little background on this dystopian world. Big food shortages have created wars, crises, and the government can't afford frivolities such as a space program. Apparently, the Earth is dying, with the atmosphere rapidly becoming unbreathable. Also, there is a drone aircraft flying around - from India, of all places.

Then, a ghost, which is actually gravity, communicates with Cooper's daughter by speaking to her by arranging books into barcodes and tells them to go to a secret (fully funded and operational) NASA base which has been hidden from society for decades behind a wire fence in a cornfield. I guess that must be some wire. Space wire. NASA wire.

If none of this sounds like it makes any sense, it's because it doesn't. Without a clear direction, Interstellar falls apart. It continues to throw the most disjointed, jarring plot elements lifted from every epoch of space movie our way for the next two and a half hours in what could loosely be called a 'story'. There are bits that feel like ""Gravity"" with super-realistic spaceflight sequences. There are bits that feel like 1960s Star Trek where the famously doomed ""redshirts"" are sent down to random planets to die in slightly comical accidents. If you're detecting a bit of a clash of tone here, then congratulations: Nolan didn't. The unexpectedly mad, undisciplined screenplay continues to ricochet around until the very end, which plays like a cross between ""Inception"" and ""2001: A Space Odyssey.""

It's not just the plot which has developed mild schizophrenia either: the feeling extends to the characters. Brand (Anne Hathaway) is introduced as a scientific, hard-nosed foil to Coopers' wild, seat-of- the pants pilot. The movie has a nasty habit of forgetting about her, and she wanders in and out of proceedings to no avail. Then it's revealed that she's in love with an offscreen character who we have never met.

All throughout this, we are flicking back and forth between equally weird and random plot developments on Earth. Cooper has left a son and daughter behind. We spend quite a lot of time with the younger daughter (Mackenzie Foy) but then she grows up, becomes a quantum physicist - not bad for a farm hand - and is basically a completely different character, which means all the time the movie spent on the young version is ultimately wasted. Cooper seems to completely forget he has a son as well - we only see him pining for the daughter.

It's very important for a film to do is establish its tone and what kind of movie it is within its first ten minutes. Interstellar couldn't do this for two hours. It could have ended in a musical number and it wouldn't have made any more or less sense.

I also found myself wondering what they managed to spend the enormous budget on. Take away the A-list actors and there's no reason that this couldn't have been done for $30m. Some of the effects (example: when Mann tries to dock with the Endurance) are actually pretty flimsy. They didn't look or move like real spacecraft at all.

For me, the ultimate irony with Insterstellar is that it had two or three ideas which could have been developed into good movies on their own: for example, the idea of an former astronaut having to convince skeptical authorities on an impoverished future Earth that their only chance of survival is a wildly risky space expedition. For better or worse, there is no way Inception would ever have been made without Nolan's involvement. This is the great two-edged sword of creative freedom. I just hope Nolan doesn't become the last ever director to wield it.",4
Today I watched the season 2 and its very embarrassing how you so called secular's present the Hinduism Please be honest with yourself Allah never forgive you,1
"This movie doesn't aspire to work on our senses.

From the get go a lot of clichés are thrown in. The opposite of what a high end kitchen should be.

It lacks originality, and is not innovative and isn't a classic at all.

ATJ is the only one who who comes across as genuine and the waitress is doing a pretty good job ad well.

Watching a movie, that somehow should be a comedy? , should be fun. However apart from two people all the rest is annoying.

The goal of the movie is that everything needs to be constructed to perfection.

So probably the biggest issue with this plan is that in the early scenes of the movie the audiomixing was far from perfect. And it doesn't work because the movie isn't perfect.",2
"The show is directed good but it is very cliché and the social message it tries to deliver passes every other aspect and gives disturbance. I cannot see anything pass the statue burnings and social constructs that this show is trying to crash. It is like every other Netflix show just but the difference is in this one Tim Burton made it more dark and twisted, thats all. Awful scenerio with cliché characters and easy to guess plot. Could've been way better thinking these people been working in this industry for years but then they bring out a highschool gen z drama and ruin the whole Addams Family for this small show. The 3 points I give is for the sake of good old Tim Burton however this is very disrespectful to bring out a show this stupid to the Addams Family fans. Such Shame.",3
"NB: I've wrote this review just after watching the first episode (I've dropped it), be aware of it.

Plot: very interesting, mysterious and intriguing.

Animation: unwatchable. Every movement is kind of robotic, smooth but literally nonhuman. The worst work I've ever saw. Especially for a nowadays work, we are in 2021, right?

Drawings: none. Everything is Computer Graphic made. And not so well.

Soundtrack: not bad, at least.

Conclusions: don't waste time watching it, really. This is the worst work I've ever saw. I can't recommend it to anyone. The manga is a way better, the drawings are amazing!",1
"Apatow has a way with unforgettable laugh out loud comedies and he once again proves his genius in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Great acting from all characters and I like how Apatow using some of the same actors in every movie.

It is by far the raunchiest of the Apatow movies. There's lots and lots of sex scenes and some nudity. Knocked up was tame compared to this movie. On the plus side there isn't an overuse of language as compared to Knocked up.

If I say anymore I'll give the movie away, it's definitely a movie adults should go and see. You won't be disappointed.",8
"This is good, but a little bit to slow. I prefer Batman in front of this. Sure Christian Bale is good, and it is amazing that he pulled it of to go up several pounds for the Batman - role. Chris Nolan has find the right mode for the film, and this is the best comic - book-film since Spiderman 2 and Hellboy. The city is not too dark, but not too bright either. Gary Oldman is perfect as Gordon, and Morgan Freeman is solid (as always) as Lucius Fox. In fact non of the actors are bad. They are almost as solid as in the first Batman. But still this one feels a little bit 2005 to be as much of a cult - classic that Batman 1989 is.",6
"Seriously, I've just come back from watching the film in the cinema in London and cannot recommend this film. I enjoyed the first Avatar, and was curious to see where the story would go and was also expecting a brilliant visual experience, but the story was a complete repeat of the first film (down to the same 'villain'), and the visuals were no big deal. I had expected MORE, especially after such a long wait for the sequel. The worst thing was how BORING it was, and how lame the plot was. Even the ending sucked. What was Cameron trying to do, rip off Titanic for the ending? Oh and the 'kids' were so irritating. They kept on saying 'bro' this, 'bro' that. Like seriously, I didn't give a damn about them and had expected Sam Worthington's character to still be the centre of the story, not his stupid kids. Oh and don't get me started on the teenage tarzan with dreadlocks kid that did nothing for 99% of the film.

Honestly, I really don't believe the great reviews here. They must be PR people writing them or people who have never seen good cinema before. I found it disrespectful to have a repeat of the first film's plot, albeit in a different setting. Not only that, but considering it was so BORING, and had cringeworthy dialogue, and the effects were overrated, I find it hard to believe that anyone would bother giving more than 5 stars, let alone seeing the 3rd instalment when it comes out. I certainly won't. I'm giving it 3 stars because I expected much more from the sequel. It's certainly no Aliens (now there's a great sequel folks).",3

"The never ending story from the 60's

Doesn't matter how good are the actors or the cinematographer if you don't have a plot. The movie has a beginning and an ending but nothing in the middle. So what Am i watching for two hours? A 60's lifestyle of actors with no personality to even care. This movie has actors and I mean really good actors but there are just here to fill up the gap for the middle part that has no story. I was also fully aware of Shanon Tate and her fatal faith before I saw that movie. But as it's not accurate from her real life then whats the point using her real name and real movie footage? It's almost offensive.

It's not because it has Quentin Tarantino's name on it that mean it's a good movie because it's simply not.

I put 5 for actors, cinematography, costumes and set design.",5
"I gave 5 because of the perfect actors/acting. Unfortunately, movie is very disappointing! Over 3 hours. Story line was full of unnecessary lines/scenes. Even I fell to sleep in the middle of the movie. Bad directing and bad movie but superb actors and acting.",5
"I don't want to spend to many words on this movie because i can't add much that hasn't already been said by others that saw this movie for what it really was(chewing gum on the pavement).

This is a typical example of ""milking the udder"".. Let's squeeze out some extra $$$$ and just bring it out. The masses will come.

Maybe we should all wait a few weeks before seeing a new blockbuster and read the reviews FIRST.. Then decide to go or not.

I went too soon to the cinema and was left with great disappointment.

And please Hollywood, If Zack Snyder comes with a new script, don't let him in..",2
"Captain America: Civil War is a movie that pits the Avengers against each other over the issue of registering with the UN. It combines some of the best aspects of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to develop character arcs that have been going on for several movies now. At the same time, I think the movie is a bit bogged down and the main character, Captain America, tends to get a bit lost in the shuffle.

There's two major plotlines going on in the movie. First is the Civil War story line, which focuses on the Avengers fighting over registering with the UN. The second story line continues from the Winter Soldier, Bucky is on the run and has been framed for the death of the King of Wakanda by the villain Baron Zemo. Helping Bucky and not signing up with the UN has pitted Cap against Iron Man.

The movie definitely plays more like an Avengers movie rather than a Captain America movie (I've heard this movie called Avengers 2.5). Iron Man gets a lot of screen time here, and the movie introduces Black Panther and Spider-man. I'm not opposed to the movie going for a larger ensemble, since Cap himself gets developed over the Avengers movies as well, but it does feel like there's too much going on here. The two story lines have enough meat on their bones to be their own movies. They do interesting things with these story lines and arcs though, and the movie really wants you to see both sides of the argument. You can empathize with both major characters and that is great, it really sells the Civil War idea. On top of that what I really love about that idea is that it feels like a natural point in their character arcs, based on previous movies. Baron Zemo though doesn't get much screen time and he's largely forgettable outside of a couple scenes at the end.

I watched this movie right around the time Chadwick Boseman died (RIP) and so I want to take a minute to talk about him specifically. Black Panther has a great little arc here and probably stands out the most among all characters, save for Cap and Iron Man. He doesn't say a lot, but makes that silence part of his character and works great as a counterpoint to the Avengers, really a breath of fresh air for the team. I'm really sad that he passed and wish we could get more of him.

The visual effects are great here, no surprise. The Super heroes are colorful and the set pieces are big end explosive. There's a lot of big action here with lots of color powers and none of it clashes visually and its not hard to see whats going on. The Russo Brothers have an eye for cinematography and know how to fit big ensembles within a shot without audience getting lost. The musical score is your usual MCU flair, nothing really to note here.

Overall, this is one of my favorite MCU movies. There's a lot of talent in front of and behind the camera, so I think they largely smooth out a script that is a bit messy. It's a lot of fun at the movies and great pay off for being invested in the MCU for many years and many movies. Not as tightly written as the Winter Soldier, but the movie is so big and has so many great character moments I might like this movie better. I'd recommend it to all fans of Super hero movies, but it requires previous investment in both Captain America, Avengers and Iron Man movies.",8
"I always feel the need to caveat that I'm not much of a horror fan. That's not strictly true though, I'm just picky. I shy away from gore, films like the Saw franchise and the bloody awful Hostel leave me cold. I need substance. The question is, does Talk to Me have it? It's certainly attention grabbing. The opening scene at an Aussie house party with a clearly troubled man with a knife gives an inkling of where this might go, but first we need to meet some folks and find that substance. Enter Mia (Sophie Wilde), Jade (Alexandra Jensen) and her little brother Riley (Joe Bird). Mia's lost her mum, doesn't get on with her dad. Jade and Riley don't really get on with their mum and dad's no where to be seen. This isn't so much important as to highlight they're tight. Looking out for each other in a peer group that likes to apply pressure, push buttons and mess around with possessed embalmed hands. Yep you read right, that's the hook here. No shock it's on the poster. Go to a party, get strapped in a chair by the irritating Hayley (Zoe Terakes) and say ""Talk to me"". There's rules to the game, but that's not important. Mia is lost. Looking for someone, something to belong to and so excepts the challenge. Cue some freaky cuts revealing dead souls looking to return through the vessel of whoever's holding the hand. Things of course get a little out of control. Of course they do, but it's all pretty fun, to begin. Kids mucking around. Having fun. Hanging out. Messing with the underworld. Until... Riley has a go. I don't want to give any spoilers, but it's obvious who he's going to connect to and when he does, all hell breaks loose. It's creepy and gory in the right places. It hits plenty of tropes, but uses them well and I'll forgive any of them for the simple reason that it's all really well acted. Particularly Wilde, she carries this. Those around her are all good, but a lot of this is on her shoulders and she gives it real weight. The deeper we get, the further it digs. Pushing this way beyond the standard teenage rage driven horror. It ploughs its dark themes carefully and thoughtfully. Don't get too comfy though, this has layers that go darker than certainly I saw coming. If you want an inventive horror that keeps you guessing and genuinely engaged, give this a go. It's not perfect, but it's certainly got substance.",7
"I was expecting more from it, I'm absolutely disappointed, better than tfatws but still worse than wandavision.",5
"Its first act is haunting and slow. It staggers maniacally into the second act. And it gets too abstract and ""weird-for-the-sake-of-weird"" in the third.

Dafoe's performance is stellar, mind you. But he is basically just playing the Sea Captain from The Simpsons. And Pattinson's accent and characterization are somewhat less convincing.

And it all gets to be too much. The supposedly claustrophobic aspect ratio didn't add to it. More of a detractor. The droning soundscape. The bare cinematography. Things get relentlessly tiresome for about 20 minutes too long.

As far as recent spooky lighthouse movies go, I actually prefer The Vanishing to this one.",5

"I believed Loki was the best television show marvel could come up with in recent times after watching Hawkeye and others until I watched this, season 1 of Wanda vision. To be honest I was not expecting something this good. Released in 2021 I was very skeptical to watch it Yh because I was tired of being dissatisfied or should I say disappointed by Marvel tv shows but WandaVision is up there with Loki. 3 years after its release I find myself watching and tagging it just 1.5 stars short of a masterpiece. The direction and production is top notch. The cast although not made up your every day actors was splendid. The effects was actually impressive. And the plot or should I include the 'storyline', which is always of great importance to me, in WandaVision is brilliant. Kudos to Marvel I do hope they keep this up 'cos judging from this, the Avengers franchise could has the potential of producing great shows. Looking forward to more great works like this. Loved it.",8
"Brilliant doesn't even begin to describe this film. Each character has been drawn so carefully and with so much delicacy that we must be interested. Who can NOT identify with William H. Macy's amazing Jerry and his feeling of being in a hole so deep, you'll do whatever you can to dig yourself out, regardless of how extreme it may be. And then when your hole just gets deeper and deeper, it's just so very tragic. Macy is terrific at playing these types of characters, (and if you haven't seen his 2000 movie, ""Panic"" shame on you) where he's in trouble and he can't seem to find his way out, no matter how hard he tries. Next up is Marge, played with amazing subtlety by Frances McDormand, who is just a great actress. While she doesn't seem to say ALL that much in the movie, I wouldn't call her character simple by any means. She is thinking. Should we force this cop to talk about everything she's discovering and realizing just because she's in a movie? That's ridiculous. And, here's what I read about the Asian man, and it makes perfect sense. (Warning: This kindof reveals some stuff that I think is common knowledge, but all who haven't seen this great film may not know. Yeah, don't read this without seeing the movie) The scene with them at the restaurant takes place just after she talks to Jerry the first time, and nothing happens. She talks with the Asian man and finds out that all that stuff he had told her was a lie. So then she realizes that Hey! this could be the case with Jerry as well, so she goes back and interrogates him once more, and discovers she was right. There you go. It makes perfect sense. I love the way that the grisly aspects in Fargo are treated as not so much hilarious as they are peculiar and bizarre, such as the kidnapping. It's funny, but in a peculiar way. I think that is the best way to describe this movie. It is engaging, fascinating, to me just plain irresistable, and peculiar.",10
This show was lacking greatly. Too much goofiness riddled throughout the whole series with huge plot holes that made no sense at all. Like where did the villain in the show even come from. The show was fragmented and a real disappointment.,4

"Well put together, a thriller, a little draggy but makes up for it overall.

All in all a master piece.

The plot twists always keep you hooked, the writer has a good way of keeping you engaged.

The best part is to think of it as just some book that kills people when you write their names in it might be a fatal mistake, the plot runs deep, the characters, their development and the thrilling plot twists will have you always pondering about what's next.

Each characters, their personalities and contribution to the show and the development of its story including major plot twists is note worthy and hats off to the writer for that.

This is actually a kind of anime that even non anime people can enjoy(almost), while it does have the mild japanese drama and humor like other animes do, to have this story as an actual series or movie would still make for a heck of a watch if made well.

That's all for my review, would definitely also recommend this to people who don't know what all the fuss is about with animes or people who wana start watching anime as begginers. Thanks!",9

"Do not watch. It's unbearably bad. Stupid, ugly, horribly acted, even worse than the first film.",1
"This movie is a waste of time. Everyone talked about it like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, but in reality Netflix is losing customers to hulu and sling due to a release of several bad movies (on a scale like grading A to F they're Fs). Netflix clearly tried to cash in on a quiet place and failed miserably. Sandra Bullock's lines are forced the ending and story sequence made no sense, and shall we talk about Facebook and Simpleton over hype? Remember the kids posting about it being the greatest movie think mumble rap is music. Sorry hipsters and millennials this movie sucks, save your time and watch something else.",1
"This is a good show, with interesting characters, an interesting concept, and a good ending. I enjoyed it. However, it is currently the 3rd highest rated anime ever on MAL, and I don't really know why. Maybe I just don't like the type of stuff that went on in this show as much as other people, but it's rated so high! There are tons of people that consider it the best anime of all time as well. I totally get why people like this show, but I don't get why it's one of the highest rated anime of all time.",8
"Only 2 episodes in, I'm loving this satirical take on the sitcoms I watched as a child. Very good and more importantly funny as well.

1st episode- Tribute to I Love Lucy 2nd episode- Tribute to Bewitched.

Can't wait to see where this goes!!!!",8
"First three seasons were really good! It's a nice comedy to watch. But season 4 is just so bad, it became a documentary. 70% of the time is monologue of this stupid very annoyinh voice. where is acting??? where is conversations??? instead it's just annoying voice describing what's happening - NOT FUNNY! All they had to do is to keep up to the first three seasons, but they just ruined in! after 10 episodes I give up :(",6
"I loved the pilot, and the first few episodes were also great. I think they really took their time with the first few episodes, but something about the context switches felt off. I found that whenever it went back to a different character's timeline I'd be feeling like ""oh god no I don't care about this, show me more of the other one"". Regardless it wasn't that bad because I found myself being engaged in those scenes as well. As the show progressed, I either got used to it or it went away (with the latter being the likeliest), but there was a new problem, the plot just progressed what I felt like too fast and carelessly. It felt like they weren't really putting the effort into making the scenes as impactful as before or exploring the plot. The ending could have been really powerful, but to me it felt like nothing, in the last 10 minutes of the season they jumped through a lot of hoops that could and should have been explored. A baby got killed and it was really overlooked, felt like nothing, I wouldn't even remember it if I wasn't writing this.",8
"Sandra has other ones to be best actress, this only 10 min only stupidity horror movie nuthin got me awake instead the final meaning I dont wanna watch the end ...its hilarious only 20 mins , you got to be kidding me please sandra do not sell your character so cheap into so mean horrible disgusting stupid and awful movie...I feel sad for you.....you seemed to be a good actress and this is your tumb. horrible and PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS CHILDISH ultra stupid very well outcome and terrible action...sorry",1
"Quite possibly one of the worst things I've ever watched, whether we're talking acting, writing, or just the production and VFX. What an abomination.",1
Saw this last night after seeing the good reviews on IMDb and rotten tomatoes. Definitely feel like I was swindled. It was alright. I would only recommend this if you want to go feel depressed for 2hrs. The user reviews on rotten tomatoes is more in line with reality,5
Great by nagraj sir amitabh and crew great acting by all actors. This movie is an mirror with tells us truth of the society Great work from all. And this is the one of the greatest movie in india and ajay atul music and songs are truly amazing and We must give support such type of movies and actors.,10
"I was expecting an amusing adventure. Instead a film without plot, without thrill. Just some impressive ""flights over the city"".

I am not interested in the psycho problems of Spiderman. Not funny, not amusing, not thrilling. NOTHING!

The actor very pathetic, perfect for the role - as seen by the Director, but not interesting for the spectator.

For children? I don't think they will like it. In the open air cinema I have seen the film, just some meters from the sea, nobody left the cinema with a ""satisfied"" face.",3
"I know that most people, when they think of Bane, automatically think about Joel Schumacher and his Horrible, attempt at a Batman movie. Or they will think of Chris Nolan and the third installment of his Batman Trilogy. Personally, I think that BOTH depictions of Bane are Horrible. I have two reasons; First off, Personality. Bane is supposed to be a smart and calculating gang leader and mercenary. Nolan got that (but a little exaggerated in my opinion because he made Bane less of a Gang leader and more of a Cultist Priest). But Schumacher completely missed the mark, making him a mindless brute. Second; Appearance. Schumacher was practically spot on with Bane in the costume department, albeit adding some embellishments here and there like the multiple tubes (as opposed to just one), the device on his chest (rather than on his wrist), and the green veins etc. And, in my opinion, those additions/changes actually work and even make sense. Nolan however, his Bane looks nothing like the comics. That guy is just a big ex-con in a flak-jacket, fur coat, fatigues, boots and a souped up gas mask. I get that Nolan wanted to make this incarnation of Batman more gritty and realistic and I respect that, but at least the other villains Looked like themselves. Scarecrow: Costume reduced to just a mask. Ras Al Ghul: No Cape or scimitar. Joker: Mutated face reduced to scars and badly applied make-up. Two-Face: No Custom suit. But in all of this as I said, they were still recognizable.

So, All in All, both Banes were terrible.",5
I watched it once (in jail) to see what all the fuss is about. Boring. I would not watch it again. Its appeal confuses me and I like most popular movies.,2
I gave a low review because I did not like any storyline. Dr. Smith is the worst by far. Will Robinson right behind her. Tapping out of this show. Could care less what happens in the next season.,1
Must watch ...Treat to watch shahrukh-Manisha chemistry...The way SRK's character progress is amazing ...power packes screenplay which ties u throughout the screen time🙌🏻♥,10
A slow build up that increasingly filled me with more and more curiousity apart from the originality and ended pretty good with no anti climax.,8
"Simply superb..........its only for particular taste bud's.

Will not be liked by everyone......u need to be vulgarian to like the movie.....as I said its only for people with particular kind of taste buds.......if u like the movie u will says its legendary movie......else u will completely scrap it.U cant have a mediocre liking or disliking of it.

That itself says about the movie........if u like it....welcome to the group....else C ya later.

Abhay deol has been a very gud actor and this movie just brings the best of him. There are very few minimal flaws in the movie.....in fact if u just look at the goofs up suggested by the IMDb site are not really the flaws. If you look into it with a different prospect they look just fine.

The movie just cannot be liked by the customarily traditional janta of Hindi movie goes who just like the masala to be there in a movie for it be good. As I said it's just for those particular taste buds only.",8
"At long last, a return to the world of ""Harry Potter"" — and a test to see what kind of legs ""Potter""-themed but Potter-less stories might have on the big screen. Directed by franchise mainstay David Yates with a script by no less than J.K. Rowling herself, ""Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"" has all the right minds and talents to guide the brand into the future and capture more than just the ""Potter""-obsessed audience.

When it comes down to it, not being a ""Harry Potter"" story is the toughest piece of ""Fantastic Beasts"" to swallow. There's no substituting for Harry, Ron, Hermione and co. Yet thanks to Rowling's direct involvement, however, we feel warmly invited into another corner of the Potterverse, one that exudes the same exceptional world-building that has charmed millions of readers and viewers over the last nearly 20 years.

""Fantastic Beasts"" follows magical creatures collector and activist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), a British wizard who arrives in New York City in 1926 on a secretive mission who becomes unwittingly entangled in American wizarding business after a creature escapes his briefcase. In his effort to wrangle it, he performs magic in front of a no-maj (the American term for ""muggle"") named Kowalski (Dan Fogler). He's caught by Porpentina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston), a witch working for the Magical Congress (MACUSA) and turned in to MACUSA authorities who — led by auror Percival Graves (Colin Farrell) — have been investigating devastating attacks by a invisible magical force, and are dealing with immense political pressure from a senator, not to mention a witch hunt led by Mary Lou Barebone (Samantha Morton) and her adopted children.

It's all a bit messy, but with every new character and creature, Rowling builds out more of her world, fleshing it out with details true to the spirit of ""Harry Potter."" It's something only she could write — at least for this first foray into uncharted ""Potter"" territory. The many characters and story components would've probably worked better with more time to develop (i.e. as a book), but we're still easily pulled into her story.

The casting is outstanding and the quality of the performances nearly overcomes the lack of emotional investment we feel in the characters as a result of the plot complexities. Redmayne, for example, defies the typical portrait of a protagonist. He's guarded, socially awkward, yet unabashed, which makes sense given his profession, but Redmayne gives it such nuance. We are left wanting to know more about him, and all the characters: Waterston is a refreshing change of a pace for a leading lady and even Fogler defies his typecasting in a lovely way. Curiosity toward the characters isn't a substitute for investment, but it's a consolation prize few blockbusters with similar troubles are even capable of handing out.

The tone of ""Fantastic Beasts"" is a little more whimsical than the grimness of the last few ""Potter"" films, even though all the main characters are adults and many facets of the plot (and concepts) cater toward a more mature audience. The whimsy comes in the many creatures and all the hijinks involved with finding and catching the ones that get loose. Unfortunately, the final action sequence feels more like a scene from ""Transformers,"" but the smaller ones are clever and inspired, usually involving some quirk that educates us about a particular creature.

If ""Fantastic Beasts"" is just about building new structures and establishing new parameters for more films set in Rowling's world, then it does its job. ""Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone,"" the first book, was one of the weaker books and films of the series as a whole, but undoubtedly it generated a curiosity to see more of where the characters and story might go, and it went to rather amazing places. If the same holds true of this would-be franchise, we're all in good shape.

"(that was a joke ofc please don't kill me) I heard a lot of good stuff about this series and i was like ""nah, i don't want to see this"" but then i saw one video on YouTube with Toph... And i watched that xD So, the show is great, one of the best that i have ever seen in my opinion. Characters are awesome, everyone in group is different and APPA YIP YIP is awesome, flying bison :> It is supposed to be a kid show, but the story is definitely not childish. It's on a very high level, when you see characters struggling during all the seasons you really can attach to them and feel just like them feel. If you never watched, do it. (and most important, it's not an anime so everyone can watch that)",10
"The cinematography of this film is amazing as expected from Roger Deakins ! It has beautiful shots and some great actors ! But the screenplay is very awkward/cheesy at times and seems like a classic oscar bait film overall ! Could have been a great film 6,5/10",7
"I've never seen a show to from being so clever and funny to so ... stupid. I choose to believe the series ended at the end of season 3. The first three seasons are a 10, the Netflix seasons a zero ...",7
"I'm not from Bangladesh, and i still find it wrong. You cant make a movie supposedly in paris and make it look like new york or something. Its disrespectful for their habitants and their culture.

I had to google Dhaka and I was so surprised, I mean its also sad cuz it feeds mass ignorance. I wonder what happened, did someone not made their investigation of the place or what? if you're going to do it in india why not set the plot there?

Its just weird

The only good thing I can take from this movie are some of the sequences by Hemsworth",6
"The score on here couldn't be further from the truth. I honestly can't see where that is coming from as the whole show is absolutely disappointing and completely underwhelming, forgettable and lacks everything that made the game such a beloved classic. It's not only the subpar and wooden performances, the horrendous and terrible dialogue, there is absolutely no tension, there is no immersion to speak of as the characters are totally exchangeable and lack even the tiniest bit of charm, the camera and photography as well lacks any interest or show of capability, everything is just so totally forgettable and annoying at worst. Definitely won't stick around.",3
"I swear I wanted to use ""talk to the hand"" as a headline, but it was taken, so...never mind 😊. Anyway...The Buzz about this feature was really intense and the fact it came from A24 only raised the bar a little bit higher.

It starts well and seems that the Philippou brothers has found a formula which lead them to a flawless road and after this vague, but intriguing and engaging, introduction we move on to the guessing game of the plot and the main message, which the movie aims to.

It talks about a TikTok challenge which involves a mysterious hand, that makes the people holding it get into a weird and trance state of mind. Whether it is true or not and whether it is an imagination of some of the characters of not - not very important to the effectivity of the movie.

It holds great. It sometimes chokes the audience like it does to some of its main characters, but it is mainly well written and performed - visually and thematically. But somewhere, near its final section and wrapping scenes it gets lost with his idea and main issues.

We see the main character deal with death of loved one and get their condolences and support from friends, but not from their dearest. We see the way the movie deals with its parental figures and issues and off course we get a great scene which relates the ceremony of using the hand and the use of drugs and how much drug using is bad.

Like this review, the movie is full with great things but cannot decide what it wants to say in the end of it. It is performed great by a fantastic crew of actors and two brilliant directors, but it probably could have been much better and even legendary.",7
"I feel like watching this was a waste of my time. I don't understand the point of this movie, or even where they were trying to take it. The thing I liked most that really stood out for me is literally the visuals of the gem(s) and I'm starting to think that perhaps that means something. I'm confused. Oh and Julia Fox. Other than that, what the heck?",5
"Really not very interesting stylistically or thematically. The acting was ok but overall the film really isn't worth the time commitment. My wife was not interested in watching it based on the trailers so I waited to watch it alone. Turns out she was right.

A three and that is a VERY generous rating.

"This movie is absolutely genius. There are so many reasons why our society needed this movie and all of it's real life messages. The emotion. The monologues. The acting. The music. Everything was perfect!

Barbie addresses the real world in hopes of finding the girl who played with her but ends up embarking on more of a self discovery journey. The real world isn't what she thought it would be, and Barbie world has been taken over by the Kens. With teamwork and unlikely friendship, the Barbies are able to take back Barbieland. The feminism throughout this movie ROCKED. I loved how it didn't necessarily bash men, but it did shine a light on the the massive egotism that tends to overcome men and their logic. As well as their belief to be superior to women. The was the best movie of the entire year. And one do the best movies of the entire decade so far.

On behalf all women everywhere, we thank you!!",10
I just recently watched all of the two seasons of this show and WOW! I don't think I have ever seen a show this in depth with mental illness and sexual assault. I am 25 years old and read this book in high school and I feel like I need to read again now. The characters in my opinion actually felt real to me and was far from cheesy. I have never cried at any tv show but I started to with a few episodes. People who are against this kind of show must be hugely religious and of course think they should have the say on what others watch. NOPE! I watched and I hope others can watch this amazing show.,9
"Yeah 1 star sounds extreme, I know. But the reality is that the people who actually saw the film need to bring the film's rating down somehow.

In reality I'd give this film 6 stars on 10. While Ben Afleck is a great actor and a great director, the script is just horrendous when it comes to the standards for what should constitute Best Picture.

THE BAD:

We are introduced to several characters. They are in Iraq when the people turn on the US embassy and start kidnapping the people in there. These characters are the 6 or so that escaped the mess and are seeking refuge in the Canadian embassy.

The first major problem of the movie is that none of these characters are characters. They have no arcs. And even worse, they have no static personality. It's hard to care about a group of people who don't display any form of humanity.

Anyway, next problem: Ben Afleck. While he shows that he can act, his character is also boring. He's divorced, he has a son that he cares about, he's the tough but smart guy who's gonna go in and save everyone. It's super unoriginal and his character doesn't do much to make you care about him.

A lack of character, and thus heart, really sinks the movie. Additionally, the film is not at all historically accurate, but I'll be honest I don't really hold things like that against a film. It's just worth noting, I guess, since some people get offended that the film is disrespecting historical figures through misrepresentation.

One more thing: I kind of found the depiction of Arabs as all insane kind of racist... it'd be awesome of they could have made some of the Arabs good people to fight that Western propaganda notion that all the Arabs are ""evil Al-Qaedas.""

THE GOOD:

John Newman and Christopher Walken's characters were awesome. I don't think it's how they were written, it's just that they are great actors to watch. They were a highlight.

Also, the directing was great. While I had no reason to care about the characters, Afleck still manages to successfully create tension during several small moments and during the final chase.

THE VERDICT:

This film has some value. It demonstrates Afleck's directing abilities, I enjoyed seeing John Newman and Christopher Walken's characters interact, and I did learn some history (even though it's inaccurate, I learned the real story by going on Wikipedia, would have never did that if I never saw the movie).

Yet, it lacks character, and as a result any humanity.

6/10.

A Best Picture this is not.",1
"5/10. This film was a disappointment. I've never been in the army, but I just didn't get this at all. Would Williams be allowed to wander around Baghdad defusing bombs in such a reckless unprofessional manner? I just don't see it. Wander off searching for a supposed person who'd detonated a bomb with just 2 other men? Hijack a car with a 9mm and break into someones house? Wander back to base? They seemed to act separate from any chain of command, who's in charge here? No one apparently, like I said the supposed strength of the movie is its realism but it just seemed very unrealistic to me. Sergeant Sanborn suddenly turns into a expert sniper? Really? The moments of real tension were done well, but that's about it for me. A big disappointment given the films reputation.",4
"Crimes of Grindelwald takes us back to the wizarding world of Harry Potter, as a fan of the original series and someone who enjoyed the first Fantastic beast I can say that I had an enjoyable time watching Crimes of Grindelwald. I have certainly heard a lot of backlash towards many of the films twists and the incoherent storytelling/messy pacing. From that point of view I completely concur, as a standalone Crimes of Grindelwald hardly stands out and in many ways relies on cheap pops and expository background information, much like an encyclopedia of the wizarding world rather than a coherent narrative.

In many ways I find that this new series, the 'Fantastic Beasts' series mirrors that of the Harry Potter films in terms of the film structures. The first Fantastic beasts movie was a lot like Harry Potter and the sorcerer's stone in that it takes us into this wonderful world of magic and wizardry, we see through the eyes of Jacob much like we did through Harry in the original series. Now that we have reached the second installment, I find that it is a lot like the original series' weakest link, 'Chamber of Secrets', in that it is slow, expository and mainly serves to set the chess pieces and begin to tease a darker story. Although arguably, Chamber of Secrets does have more of a narrative than, Crimes of Grindelwald's ""who is Credence's mum"".

But as a fan of the series, I find myself still enjoying Crimes of Grindelwald despite it quite literally being more like a 10 fun facts of the wizarding world rather than a film. I think this just goes to show what a complex world Rowling ahs built, how intricate and interesting this world is in that it can make such a film interesting despite not being 'good' in terms of being a piece of cinema. I think Crimes of Grindelwald does set the franchise up for greatness, by filling in all the missing parts, and a very well done final act, I think it sets this new series up for a really interesting future.",7
"Turned this movie off after 40 minutes. Snoozefest. Surprise, Tom Hardy plays another brooding, underachieving, loser. What else is new? I guess there may some hardcore fans who'll like this, but the premise has been done 100s of times.",3
"Wonder Woman is an Average movie, but given the fact that DC and Warner Bros is involved, I would say - THIS ONE IS BELOW AVERAGE.

This movie plays the same role for upcoming ""Justice League"" as ""Captain America - The First Avenger"" did for ""The Avengers"". So the comparison is inevitable and tragically Wonder Woman fails all the tests. Its not about DC Vs Marvel, rather its about the highest standards of acting, story- telling, CGI, character development, logical soundness, etc. etc. set by MARVEL. This movie is just flat with no goose-bump moments, NOT EVEN ONE. Even if you are a die-hard DC and Wonder Woman fan, you are going to walk out of the theater wanting for much much more. It becomes very cheesy both at comic and emotion filled moments.

All in all this movie do not deserve anything above 4 / 10.",4
"I'm pretty sure Seth Rogen stole the plot from a tasty bit of 1980s SciFi, ""The Last Starfighter"". Alex Rogan lives with his mom IB a trailer park and can't afford college. But he is the world's a best player at a video game placed on earth to find pilots who might be able to save the galaxy. Heey! I thought that I had an original observation. The Futurman protagonist just called it out as a Last Starfifhter retread:-)",7
Hands down for acting but this is the most boring story I've ever watched!,4
Jon really lives and breathes the character of the Punisher. He brings a level of crazy to the character that really makes it believable. Great story line which remains riveting till the end.,8
"I am from the 70's and I could barely sit through this movie. I found it boring and offensive but thought Goldie's daughter did a great job! The film just wasn't near as glorious as ""Hollywood"" portrayed it to be and I just really hate it when a film gets so much fanfare and turns out to be an actor fest instead, much like American Beauty which I also didn't care for, but yes, Kevin Spacey was great.",2
"This movie is surprisingly not as good as the hype. I struggled trying to come up with a rating because there are certainly great parts of the film. The cinematography, score, and actors are all great. The screenplay and directing not so much. Just as in the Revenant and Jarhead; I heard what a great movie but was sorely disappointed. A movie has to be believable; what I loved about Saving Private Ryan was you felt like you were experiencing it and forgot that you were in a theater. The movie lacked flow and believability. There are too many Hollywood ""Come on...that's ridiculous"" moments too be listed as one of the great war movies. It will win awards on hype instead of truly being great. It's good to see once but you'll probably never watch it twice.",5
"Not many negatives to be honest, I went into this show with very high expectations as I waited for the show to be fully published to watch it. I saved myself from any spoilers but still had very very high expectations for the show, as everyone was loving the show. For me it is not a 10 as I felt it was sort of rushed near the end, one more episode and it could've been on my top 3 mavel movies/ shows. Really hoping and looking forward for a second season.",6

"Except last 30 minutes, the whole movie is so lame. Bad writing. One of the worst movies Marvel ever made.",3
"I've been a Sherlock Holmes fan since my childhood days. I've read the books and watched the movies. I won't be telling you which movie or book was best etc. I just wanna say, that this film just ain't about Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.

In this movie you're going to watch two men, one is very eccentric, most of the time some sort of tiddly, a fighter and wanna be brilliant mind, the other is snobbish, violent, vain and some sort of male model of those days. Now, here's the question: Does that sound like Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson ?

I'm sorry to write these lines but they transformed these two characters into action heroes, trapped in old London and put them in a long-winded story. I really like Downey Jr. and Law a lot and they do a good job but the movie is total waste of time and money. It is too long and the pace is too slow. Boring, dinky and spare.",3
Turkish horror movies are far better than the over hipped movie this.,5
"When it comes down to 'Stranger Things' I'm in a bit of a conundrum. Never before has a show managed to hit all elements of what people value as entertainment. This TV Show has humor, it has horror, it has mystery, it has one hell of a soundtrack, it has many moments of nostalgia, it has amazing acting (especially from the younger cast which is a nice change), it has amazing visuals, it has sad moments as well as shocking ones -but most of all it has heart. There is a theme of love that's evident across the shows run, whether it's the persistent love Joyce Byers has for her son that allows her to keep on searching for him against all odds or the love of friendship that causes our three protagonists to put themselves in danger in order to be reunited with their friend. The last scene says it all but also the connection and the undefinable love between Mike and Eleven.

Also, credit to the writers for creating such interesting characters. Each one felt they had deserved their screen time. Hopper again is brilliant as we never really know his motives but we again root for his happiness. Nancy's story-line felt too separate at the start but it really blended in well with the story and gave the viewers a taste of adolescent life during the 80s. It was nice to see such empowering female leads – each one felt strong and determined but no more than the real highlight of the show, Eleven. The character of Eleven is probably one of the smartest moves Netflix has ever done. They have managed to make one of the most complex characters on television with barely any dialogue. There is constant empathy felt for Eleven. You can tell from her expression that her childhood had been stripped from her life. She is separate from the world but we still manage to connect with her in an emotional way. Like ET, there innocence and circumstance leads us to worry and care about them as time goes on. The last part of the show is one of the most heart-breaking moments of television I've seen – but it all highlights one of the shows prominent themes – love. Also if Millie Brown isn't nominated for an Emmy alongside Winona, I'll lose my faith in the awards system. Age shouldn't be a hinder and if anything she has shown it shouldn't be correlated with skill – putting to shame many of Hollywood's actors.

This show is weird, but in a unique way. It would be hard to compare a show like this to that of 'Game of Thrones' or 'Breaking Bad'. It is very much its own thing, taken the styles of some of the best 80s movies to create one golden piece of entertainment. Get ready to experience many different types of emotions within 6 hours.

I do hope there is another season however, even if there isn't – this show is worthy to stand on just this one for repeated viewings. I hope this will be a classic for newer generations so they can experience the emotions and feelings found uniquely within the 80s. But I've taken up too much of your time already – just go and watch it.",9
"I though the first Iron Man was really great, with a new idea and great story, superb action and great acting with enough in depth about the characters to make you care and give the story substance, but I'm afraid Iron Man 2 just falls into the typical sequel trap of just trashy fun wanting to cash in on the first. It is great fun. Downey Junior is still excellent as Stark and very funny. The action sequences were fun and the special effects were amazing. Not to mention there was some good music and Downey Jr gave the script in parts wit.

But the script was mostly awful with thin characters. I could see the director Jon Favreau try to flesh them out but the multiple stories didn't work, which loses that in depth of the characters and why we care for them. He tries to do the multiple narrative like Sam Raimi in Spiderman 2 who successfully had the main story with there sub-plots that blended seamlessly together beautifully with the depth of the characters understanding the motivations behind there choices and decisions and making you care about them but Favreau fails in this respect. Micky Rourke dosen't make a lasting impression as villain Whiplash and Scarlet Johansson though pretty was extremely underused. There is not motivation for her character. Also there are some gaping plot holes like why when Whiplash escapes from prison is it not reported by the media? And he goes to the grand prix track to kill Stark whose one of the drivers but he didn't even know he was there because he arrives before he sees him and we're not made aware Whiplash knows he's there making the character and film a bit dumb and forfeiting credibility as a result. Saying that there was plenty of action sequences, which were done really well and were exciting to watch as a result. But on the flip side, it leaves too little room for story and character development (whereas Batman Begins and Spiderman 2 balanced out the action and story perfectly).

Good trashy fun yes, which I enjoyed but it's not as amazing as people make out. I really was expecting much more and I was quite disappointed on the whole. This had potential and I could tell Favreau tries with the multi-plots but it just fails. This dosen't live up to the hype it's received but it's still worth seeing. I hope the third shows improvement.",5
But what i'm really shaking my head and rolling my eyes at is the blatant rip off from Spider-man Homecoming with the animation and The Ramones outro. Really DC? Your imagination only went that far? C'mon!,4

Dragon Ball is a very in dept anime that i can get into (which i did i bought every season) but it has very lovable characters and very good animation detail that can make you go AWESOME! so it basically revolves around Goku which he is one of the few people left from the sayan race which was wiped out by an enemy by the name of freiza but thats all I'm going to say about the story so *NO SPOILERS* so if you are wanting to get into anime but don't know where to start i would without a doubt suggest Dragon Ball it has a easy to follow but in dept story great voice acting all though i would suggest the original Japanese version with subtitles but the American voice actors are great and the illustration is great and i think everyone should give it a chance.,5
"Vampires and superheroes are soo old now - please stop it and grow some creativity Hollywood!

Stop sucking up to pimplefaced teenagers and sad comicbook nerds - it's embarrasing and painful to watch! Spend your money on developing new ideas developed thoroughly for a change!

Superheroes and vampires suck and so do their kids and pets and other family members!

Did Hollywood totally forgot that adults are still arround and that we don't necessarily want to watch drama and romance?! We want to be entertained and thrilled too - so get on with it!

Give us good thrillers, action and scifi without the constant infantile comicbook formula! It's really getting frustrating....

Marvel is not the answer anymore!",1
"Best animated show ever! The art, the story, the characters are all top notch!",10
"So much talk, talk, talk, talk... Main writer is Kelly Marcel. How would this one know to write a successful superhero action movie? Fifty Shades of Gray, then Venom? Really? Because she's Da Vinci reincarnated? Brilliant at absolutely everything she's laid eyes on?",2
"If you love whatever is the name of the child actress, go watch it. She has done a fabulous job but the movie is boring asf. I had this image of hyperactive Sherlock on the mind which got completely ruined after this movie and made me think that the character could have been anything. Maybe should have included Benedict Cumberbatch",4
"I personally loved this piece, a lot of the reviews seem to attempt to fit the film into a framework of realism and therefore into a framework of both common sense and actuality. For the love of deep fried cheese, it is a film about an ALIEN symbiote that has been around for millennia living within a human host on planet earth. If you do not in fact see where i am going with this, well, maybe either stop reading or quickly cultivate a sense of fantastical wonder. It, for me, was a rollicking good entertaining way to spend an hour and forty minutes that i would happily go back and watch again. For the record, i am not a massive fan of comic book movie adaptations, but i did enjoy this joint. I found the effects to be spot on, i also thought the dialogue, especially between Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) and the alien symbiote Venom was often times hilarious, i sometimes talk to myself in a similar way except i do not harbour an alien symbiote (Joking!!!) The action sequences were spectacular and i thought the story moved and advanced briskly enough almost to the point where it could be possible that someone unfamiliar with the character and/or someone that had not seen the first film would soon get up to speed with the narrative.

For me, it is this simple, suspend your disbelief then sit back and enjoy the ride.

Oh and do not attempt to apply and form of science or non-Hollywood logic to proceedings, otherwise it all falls apart. Ten out of ten for me.",10
"I didn't like this show the story sucks the way they want to justify suicide thoughts because of others not with an Ellness in your head , and how people will ""miss you and regret what they did to you once you kill yourself"" isn't a positive massage.",1
"In the proud tradition of other cinematic wonders like Barton Fink,The Big Lebowski, and Vanilla Sky this movie really hit rock bottom. Once again a Stellar Cast;Jim Carrey,Kate Winslet, Kirsten Dunst, Elijah Wood, among others in a movie that sank right after the scene where Jim Carrey drops off Kate Winslet to pick up some items from her apartment. My girlfriend rented this movie and it looked good but it reminded me of the fact that I am very proud that I don't go to the movies anymore because once again I would have asked for a refund on this one. My advice to the moviegoer is to borrow a copy from a friend who might have bought it because it's not even worth renting.",2
"What the hell did I just watch ?? I was totally unprepared for such a masterpiece.

Finally a superhero movie with true suspens, and where we don't know exactly what will happen at the end of the movie during the first 15 minutes.

Real twists and turns, coherent and breathtaking combat, real intrigue... Not for a single second was I bored, not for a single second was I able to divert my attention.

All the codes of a good blockbuster seem to be in one place, and the plot leads to some interesting food for thought. I like to think that we can watch an extremely entertaining film (and it was!!) and still know that the message being conveyed is an interesting one, especially for a young audience.

Grandiose!",10
"I had to really struggle to get through the first two episodes but don't think I'll bother finishing. The acting is weak but the dialogue is even worse - inevitable after tie used to Martin's GOT series. The characters (and casting) are one-dimensional and dull. They all look and sound the same and so it's very obvious what they'll do and say next - you end up not paying attention. Effects, set design and costumes are just average. No sense of scale in scenes or the landscapes. It's basically a low budget remake of the original - worse in every single way. I don't think I'll be wasting any more time on this.",2

"We're in 2021 , since 2017 I've never seen a worse movie than this!!!!, stupid graphics, bad plot, and the worst thing was the acting!!!!!, I cringed a lot man!!! , It's just (disgusting)",1
Garfield was the wrong guy to cast in this. Comes no where near how good the original was.,2

"I'm sorry if there are some mistakes in this, english isn't my first language. This is seriously one of the funniest movies i've ever watched. I laughed everytime Ryan Gosling was on screen, he was my favorite in this movie. The only thing i would say wasn't the absolute best was the storyline. I felt like it was like 3 stories all in one movie and they shifted to those stories really fast. I did like the feminist vibe because it was all without hating on men. I think this would be a perfect movie for everyone. In my theater it was mostly young females tho, but i don't think it's made only for them!",10
"Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is a pretty good little flick. Although I have to admit that I have a big soft spot for Pirates.

The movie isn't anything special but that shouldn't take away from it.

I thought the cast where fine but not the best part for the movie. Jack Sparrow was obviously the best character in the movie and I thought he was introduced well. Throughout the entire movie 'Captain' Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) was good and fun to watch. He was nothing amazing as some people claim he is in this flick, but he is well done and a fine character that is pretty enjoyable at times. It has to be said however I haven't seen the other Pirates of the Caribbean movies as of yet so maybe his character improves. As of now he is a enjoyable character with a few good scenes and quips to make you smile. The rest of the cast where fine but nothing special so I won't bother mentioning them in detail. Basically they're mediocre (maybe slightly less).

The story was fine but nothing spectacular. Although I did like how the curse worked and how it changed the crew of the Black Pearl. Obviously I'm not mentioning spoilers.

The action was not great, but It was fine. Nothing amazing or even great but enough to make it's point. There was alot of scenes that include ""Action"", but I don't believe they where very good. So it's not a lack of action, just nothing special when it came to coreograthy. The action is pretty mediocre but it's more about the characters (Jack Sparrow) than an action-packed adventure.

Cast - 6/10

Story - 6.5/10

Action - 3.5/10

Johnny Depp - 7.5/10

Overall a fine watch but nothing truly spectacular. With action that wasn't amazing but prevalent but a story and lead character that I enjoy in parts.

Maybe try this one out - 6/10.",6
"Here's another one where I'm late in sending in my comments. I was also fairly late in viewing. By the time I got to see the ""staggering"" flo-mo effects, they were already commonplace in TV beer adverts. Now I come to think about it, so were anthropomorphic creepy-crawlies. That's the problem with special effects. They soon become old hat. With me the watershed came about fifty minutes into the film. I began to get bored, and there was a long way to go!

What's next. Oh, God! Episode 1!

Can't wait for the next series. Original concept and hope to have many more series.,9
"Unbelievable casting. Everyone fits the part, in some cases almost eerily so. The performances are spot on. Toby must really be Spiderman and Kirsten is better than my dreams of MJ. Of course, I have always loved the angst ridden webcrawler. The writers gave me a whole lot of what I always loved about Spidey and a little at the end of what I always wanted. Fantastic effects, a Marvelous script (pardon the pun) and the sense to know when enough is enough. The movie races along through even the tender parts (very smart editing), without rushing things. Excellent timing, a little whimsy and a great setup for the next installment. Although, I think I would quit here - 'cause it just don't get much better.",9
"Frank Capra had a golden rule - a movie can be many things but the number one sin is boring. Endgame - wanted to like it, spent money to like it, and .... boring. long, talkative and not worth the time. 2 hours would be fine, stretched to 3. Comedy was good mostly but not the padding. Long long intro shots of this and that. It finally hit the gold standard of DC. It took itself way way too seriously. So I am disappointed and sad. About right up there with Star Trek - The Motion Picture for boring. I don't like writing this, but ....... boring.",2
"Read the header -- they have given us Stranger things and HBO max is living off four series True Detective, Game of Thrones, Westworld, and Mayor of Easttown...but some of those had 2 seasons and netflix has given us countless shows from Bridgerton , squid games,to shows that deserved more like ""the order"" movies like Enola Homes and ect -- and they are held to a standard no one else is Disney is retreading marvel shows at neck break pace and are shot in a week... so again its crazy to see this. Stranger things is an mazing ground breaking show it allows us to connect to a time we may not have been alive for. Millie and Sadie have begun to take over the narrative as future stars and how amazing to see them put this on display.",8

"I had to leave a comment because I have no idea how this movie received an 8.5 rating. 6 range at best. As far as Korean masterpieces go I thought ""The Handmaiden"" and ""The Housemaid"" were far better stories about class. The script had tremendous ideas and I was looking forward to them ... and then they just dropped off and switched to a new plot. It felt very messy. There were scenes that had no follow up or no point. Like they had to fill a plot hole last minute. If hours of this film were cut, that would make sense. It felt like it couldn't decide if it wanted to be a dark drama, or a dark comedy. If it wanted to be just a family friendly dark comedy, you went too far, if you wanted to be a intense drama, you really dropped the ball. It felt like the director wanted to appeal to a wider audience by playing it safe. The more I think about it, the less respect I seem to have for its ""artistic"" merrit. Absolutely Overrated.

As I'm reading throught the miles of reviews, I'm convinced these are westerners who just started watching foreign films this year, or they're all paid. The common theme is people seem to think they are incredibly intelligent for having watched this. Another reviewer commented this is the SAME exact plot as ""Married with Children"" even down to Chicago, Illinois being a factor. Just blew my mind and now I have even less respect for the script.",6
"Excellent movie. Almost a literary one, IMO. Perfectly juxtaposes the violent criminals' with law-abiding citizens' mindsets.",10
"This kind of film is by no means my kind of film and I was not really expecting a great deal from it considering that it was ""from the guys who brought you The 40 year-old virgin"". However it has to be said that this is a very funny film it did genuinely make my laugh out loud on more than one occasion and has a semi original story line.

The acting is not exactly the highest order but there are many funny performances in this film. At first I was critical of Russel Brand for doing this film as it seemed to me he was putting his wallet before his reputation and back bone so to speak but he is without a doubt a very funny man and this is evident in the film itself. He provides many laugh out loud moments as he is basically playing himself so his trade mark humour shines through. Jason Segel provides a good main character and is not to short in the laughs department also. Jonah Hill plays a hotel clerk with an unhealthy obsession with Brand's rock star character and is almost as funny Brand but is only playing a minor character.Bill Hader and Paul Rudd are also very funny in their respective roles.

It must be said that the story is not really anything new when it comes right down to it and at times the story and event are very predictable but that does not take away from the film on the whole.

very funny but with its faults like any other film of this genre 7 out of 10",7
"I am terribly disappointed at this series.

Its a lack-lustre representation of what truly happened. There are several misses which makes this series a big disappointment.

1. The direction fails to bring out emotions or engagement which can be felt in series such as like ""Inventing Anna"".

2. It misrepresents the actual personality of Elizabeth Holmes. It shows her as a good person who moves onto a bad path. In reality, she was a highly venomous women who treated people like toilet papers and didnt give two f*cka about anyone but herself.

3. It falsely glorifies the relationship between Balwani and Elizabeth. In reality, it was very simple gold-digger oldie relationship, on the lines of (exchange of sex for money and contacts). It shows them like a deeply engaged couple which couldnt be further from reality.

4. It fails to depict the hurt, loss and pain to several people this demon stomped on her way to the scamster paradise.

I am very surprised that people are rating it so high. Just shows how little people take interest in following news and actual interviews now-a-days.",1
I really didn't like it it just wasn't a good movie for me others may enjoy it but it's not for me. Great cinematography though,3
"Season 1:

Season 1 was a fun take of Punisher. Not the Punisher I'm use to but he was really good. Overall the show was good. Could have been better in area's like providing a more Punisher like portrayal from the comics.

Season 2:

Was a massive step up. Punisher actually gets to Punish in the style that drew me towards Punisher.

The story is very intriguing. Its more of a Punisher and Billy Show.

Jigsaw is nothing like the comics or like the movie he is a guy with memory loss, truama and he basically wanders around trying to figure things out. His face only has a scratch on it and he is not intimidating to look at. If anything he is much better wearing a mask.

Punisher actor does very well in his role.

If you like blood, cat and mouse, gore, guns, killing and anti hero who doesn't give a damn. Punisher season 2 is the show for you.

To answer the question. Justice nice and revenge is sweet.",8
"Idk how I made it to episode 7 but I can't take it anymore.. episodes 3-6 were painstaking to watch but after 7 became unwatchable. Full of silent dragged out scenes. 52 minute episodes that can literally be wrapped up in 12-15 minutes. Please Garland, stop wasting people's time.",1
It's a great serial .worth watch .never read the books but love it. Can't wait for the next season. Hope it is soon .,9
"Don't pay to see this movie or at least pay the least amount possible. Big studios shouldn't for be rewarded for their stupid decisions. I can sum up the whole review with this word: STUPID.

The plot is rushed & STUPID. The villain is generic & STUPID. The love interest is shallow & STUPID. Even Venom himself is STUPID. (I didn't think it was possible)

Sony didn't learn one thing from what Warner Bros did with the DC universe and rushed into this project thinking more about the sequels than the actual movie.

I had a bad time with the final battle of Black Panther because parts of it were too dark, here it's just a nightmare. I genuinely could not tell what was going on.

Tom Hardy did a great job and his performance is the only good thing about this movie. It makes me really sad that he wasn't given a decent plot.

Venom is an awesome character with some huge stories in the comics but he is once again mistreated by Sony.",5
"This movie wasn't even worth nomination. 7 Oscars, REALLY??! It wasn't even worth watching. The only explanation is that they gave this movie 7 OSCARS by mistake. Is this the standard of movies these days . I characterize this movie in the ""straight to video"" category. I don't blame the other nominees for been bitter. The worst nominated actor/actress is far more deserving than any actor/actress in this movie. It's a shame that other movies didn't get the recognition they deserve. I haven't watched all of the nominated movies , but I'll bet my house that they're better than this weird and waste of time movie.",2
"I didn't really know what to expect, and having never read the comic, knew nothing about the plot. The movie was mostly a boring series of naive events, ""cool"" American style tech idolization and flat one-liners.

The special effect displayed through out the movie were admittedly bleeding edge, and acting was mostly good considering the awkward script.

Undoubtedly if you are a fan of the comic, the movie was probably your dream come true. For the rest us, just a brainless special effects showcase. 4 out of 10.

Disclaimer: I haven't really liked any of the marvel comic movies",4
"The show is beautifully filmed and the CGI is excellent. The story, characters, and plot are full of rushed holes and inconsistencies. The constant time jumps makes the plot difficult to become invested in and even follow. The actors selected don't match their ages for example the Queen Alicient looks to be younger than her adult sons (I believe they are the same age in real life). The characters also don't match their younger selves well save a few. The plot and great acting is what made GoT famous, this show just doesn't have that unfortunately. I used to await new GoT episodes with intense anticipation, but HoD I don't really have any investment or interest I am not even sure I'll bother watching the last few espisodes as the first were such a letdown.

Biggest flaws: Casting, Time Jumps, Acting, Plot (Maybe the plot is good it was just directed wrong?) Biggest Pluses: CGI, Cinemagtography, Language/Lore

This could have been done so much better.",5
"First I watched this movie with high hopes and to be honest i did not liked it very much,in fact it might have been one of the worse Virus type infectious kind of thing movie I've seen in a long time (not counting SY-SY Chgannel productions)!!Not even the Stardom used in the cast was enough to make out of this a good movie,it wasn't all bad though,in fact it had great potential but it was absolutely wasted with a slow rate of marking events,the events happened at light speed but none of it actually made an impression on me,except for the death of a vital character in the film!!In conclusion,Nothing new came out of this movie,absolutely nothing,we all seen everything that happened in other movies and far better achieved!!So my rating for this movie is a 4 but it could have been an 8,if they have only managed to make a connection with the viewer and got in a bit of suspense!!",4
"PLEASE READ THE WHOLE POST. THIS IS DEDICATED TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN DEFENDING EXTRACTION.

Okay I have many points but would like to talk about two main points. 1. THE BANGLADESHI RAP SONG - Please check the subtitles carefully. It has been clearly mentioned as a hindi rap song. I question the production team how they allowed to sell a song like this.

2. THE BANGLADESHI ARMY - Who gave them the right to belittle Bangladesh army dress. Lot of you might say that it is not the exact dress, dude they have used the 🇧🇩 flag on the shoulders. I AM A CIVILIAN still I would be against this because the army is not a force to be neglected this way.

THERE ARE MANY MORE LIKE A WHOLE MOVIE WITH KOLKATA BANGLA LANGUAGE AND WITH NO BANGLADESHI ACTORS . Donot say they donot have the budget to hire bengali actor and I can assure that there is better actors like Chanchal and many more. REPRESENTATION MIGHT BE OVERSEEN AS THIS IS MOVIE BUT THIS POINTS CANNOT BE OVERSEEN. THANKYOU FOR READING AND PLEASE RATE THE MOVIE BADLY. HAVE A GREAT RAMADAN.",1
"I will suggest its much more worthy to watch ""The Jungle Book"", if you are planning to watch movie this weekend. ""FAN"" is worst movie. I am regretting now after watching ""FAN"".

I was used to be Big SRK fan (Specially for Veer-Zara, Swadesh and Rab ne Bna di Jodi) so thought to watch this movie like i did for every SRK movie but by every upcoming movie SRK is disappointing us.

FAN - A Crap Movie... Waste of money

It seems every upcoming SRK is trying to prove he is superstar. SRK sir, you were superstar but now by trying to prove that through movies you are diminishing your respect and love only.

Personally I felt ""The jungle book"" is much worthy than ""FAN"".",1
"I liked the plot, I liked Zemo, I liked the story of Super-Patriot/US Agent. But I just hated the fact that Flag Smashers in this series are not really soldiers, or skilled or trained but could kick Winter Soldier and Falcon's ass. It's just a bummer.",8
"Marvel/Disney has this uncanny talent for making uninteresting characters interesting and damn if they haven't done it again, taking two of Captain America's sidekicks and turning them into essential characters. DC would do well to takes notes. It's all about the storytelling. The series ""Gotham"" shows they are capable of it so why all the lame movie plots?",8
"I would have enjoyed this film so much more, if the caption ""A lot of this really happened."" wasn't presented at the beginning. Whilst the start with everything begins entirely feasible, by the end there was just a little too much absurdity. After looking it up, do you realise that the general conspiracy that is uncovered was true, only in the fact that it existed, but not the events actually portrayed, and the leading trio are all fictional, but there was a 369th Regiment. It could have been enjoyed in the same fashion as Inglorious Basterds, rather than muddled along.

That being said, the story, characters and aesthetics are all generally very enjoyable. Bale is fantastic and very endearing, and supported by an absolutely star-studded cast. Despite having all those famous faces all the way, they don't draw away from the (at times baffling) plot.

The pacing is stunted, a lengthy flashback providing context a little out of sequence, yet the climax is brilliant. The reveal is great, dialogue is absorbing, and the different strands of story are brought together very well.

The tone just seems to be very inconsistent from beginning to end. Bale and Washington work well together with a friendship supporting a war/post-war crime/drama, before Robbie is dropped in for what seems like an entirely different film. The character is good, but to start with feels like she has been edited in from a Wes Anderson film.

The film overall feels very ambitious, but a little all over the place before finally finding it's niche after an hour and a half. Knowing what I know now, I feel I'd much prefer Amsterdam on a second viewing.",7
"A strange, but very rewarding movie. Soderbergh has went on to create many wonderful films since ""Sex, Lies and Videotape"" but what has captured my attention about this film is his how he kept the film simple and concentrated on the details around the four characters. He mentions in the commentary of his influence of Eric Rohmer (who created the popular films as part of his ""Six Moral Tales"") and the long dialogue between characters. Maybe it made no impression to me back then but now, any director who can have their characters engage in dialogue with meaning and profoundness is wonderful.

Andie MacDowell was the surprising star because in the beginning, I thought she would be the typical jilted housewife but we see her character emerge as one that is confused to one that finally gains perspective. Laura San Giacomo did well in portraying the free-will Cynthia (which she would go on to do again in ""Pretty Woman""), John Mullany (Peter Gallagher) was the ultimate sleezeball and for Graham (Spader), his character was mysterious and although the viewer doesn't know exactly what had happen to him, it's how the character was changed after changing the character he videotaped. As the film itself, one can see how this independent film helped revolutionize indie films and allowing media coverage. Sure, we see independent films, art-house films receive media coverage today but in the context of independent films getting seen by a wide audience, ""Sex, Lies, and Videotape"" was definitely instrumental in being part of that small group of films that Hollywood would give a chance to.

Overall rating: 8 out of 10.",8
"From the previews, I was expecting something very different. It was a good story, but it was not a movie about a family going after each other with knives out. The 'Knives Out' is a play on the back-stabbing family. I was very let down as I felt mislead. Other than it being unlike what I expected, it was a good movie. Low toned comedy with drama and mystery. Great acting, can follow the story and keep the characters separate. I like the mystery aspect, including the father writing murder mysteries. Just don't expect this movie to be what the broadcast previews implied.",2
"This sort of Michael Bay movie is just a straight up guilty pleasure. It's not a great movie. It isn't winning oscars. Stuff blows up, people die, women are sexy, and the cars are awesome.

Put your brain on ice, lay back with whatever it is that you use to take the edge off, and turn on this movie to watch Michael Bay's signature off-the-wall action sequences in all of their unrestricted glory.

Not quite as engrossing as Bad Boys 2 or The Rock, but it does what it sets out to do.

6.8/10",7
"Mare of East Town is an excellent character study. Kate Winslet is superb. She is thoroughly committed to her role. Kate is walking a Tightrope of being a character that is a bit too brash to like on the surface. But this is where her brilliance as an actress shines through. She adds a depth , both standoffish and sympathetic. Whinslet adds just a touch of wry humor and in the end it wins you over and I identify with her troubled and bruised character. I honestly can say I've never seen here in a gritty role like this before. The writing is very well done that helps the entire ensemble in this limited series. I have a strong feeling this is going to be an engaging mystery , drama HBO has come up with . I would say it's definitely worth checking out.",8
"What is this? Why Germany was even not mentioned as a part of the conflict?

Not enough soldiers there, uncompare to real exodus.",4
"Absolutely no depth . No interesting characters and basically filmed in 2 rooms . It's a glorified drama trying to ride on GOT success .

Every episode seems to jump years and can't keep but think I just don't care for any of the characters.

The whole movie is basically just about the princess and the kings brother, no other branches and stories, 7 episodes in and still really no further forward apart from 2 people wanting to be together but simply can't , it's Romeo and Juliet with a game of thrones spin to it and utterly fails with poor writing and production

It's a shame as I wanted it good.",1
"When I sat down to watch ""The Fault In Our Stars"", I was worried that it would be nothing but a ""kleenex box flick"". Much like guys can be drawn to the theater with the right quota of explosions, special effects, and superheroes, the same can often be said for women only with really sad stories. That is kind of how this movie is marketed too...as a real tear-jerker. Luckily, the film does enough besides the ""waterworks"" moments to keep your interest throughout. It isn't just all sadness and crying.

For a basic plot summary, this movie focuses on Hazel (Shailene Woodley), a teenager living with a rare form of cancer that makes her (in her own words) a ""ticking time bomb"". At a cancer support group (that Hazel usually loathes, of course), she meets Gus (Ansel Elgort), a fellow youngster who also happens to have a less-severe form of cancer. The two strike up a conversation, which leads to a friendship, which leads to a romance. Through a mutual interest in a mysterious author (played by Willem Dafoe), Hazel, her parents (played by Laura Dern & Sam Trammell), and Gus go off on a ""last wish"" adventure to find this author and have him explain the ending of his most famous book.

I won't go into any spoilers on what makes this movie so ""sad"", but when you consider it is about two kids with cancer, you can probably put two and two together. If you are into emotional speeches and heart-stirring (for better or worse) scenarios, then you will indeed need a tissue box handy. However, even a 28-year old male like me was able to sit through the film without rolling my eyes or tuning out. Though coated with adolescent angst and high-profile teen actors, the kernel of emotion transferred from the core of the story (although I have not read the book, so I can't get into the differences) to the big screen remains poignant.

""The Fault In Out Stars"" probably gets a bit of a ""bum rap"" right now because the general market is so saturated with these types of stories. I kind of compare it to ""The Giver"" in that regard. Yet, one must remember that is was John Green's book that practically STARTED this entire genre; it just took awhile for it to get transferred to Hollywood.

On my personal ranking scale this movie would get a 3.5-star ranking, but I'll bump it up to four stars here because it is a touching story with even a little comedy and light-heartedness thrown into the mix. While the core of the story may be very emotional, it isn't all ""doom and gloom"".",6
Scenes of the ruined town in the night is impressive.,7
"I really enjoyed this show, I would have given a solid 10 if I hadn't seen the first three-four minutes. I really don't understand why the urge to show that spoiler, it was irrelevant, and I spent the whole time knowing already the she would have gone there and as a star.",7
Visuals are good. Acting great. The script however is not great. Modern phrases and idioms. Talk of genetics? Great monsters. ... Need more monsters. Cavill is all in. Great actor.,5
"It starts off strong, and though it may lose some steam by the end, its classic style of absurd character comedy is hard not to smile at. The characters are somewhat weak - at least for a character-based comedy - but always entertaining. Though, I hate to be that guy (but I'm gonna be that guy anyway): WOW, what a cast of copy/pasted one-note female characters. I could probably count the skits involving female characters that DIDN'T end with the girl getting mad and hitting the guy unreasonably (or within reason for getting her PANTIES STOLEN for god's sake) on one hand. I can't even say I'm getting tired of the consistent anime trope of women and girls being violent emotional caricatures to contrast the reasonable male characters: I have BEEN tired of it. Some many of the gags being at the expense of the girls spoiled some of the show for me - that being said, there are some hilarious and memorable segments that merit rewatching. I loved the running gag with Yassan and Hidenori sitting on the slope exchanging cheesy lines, and the main trio's improv escapades were always fun to watch (though I started to wonder where on earth Tadakuni had gone halfway through the series, never mind how a joke was made calling out his absence). Maybe I'm at fault here for letting its status as a classic raise my expectations too high, but whatever the cause is, it didn't ruin the experience entirely; I'd still recommend this show to anyone looking for an easy laugh.",7
"I am from North east and I like only realistic type movies be it from Bollywood or South Industry. In short, i don't like movies like Temper, Dabangg etc etc. But something told me I should give this movie a try and I am so glad I did. This is by far the best action South Movie i have ever seen. And I am so glad i watched it with subtitles. Otherwise, hindi dubbed mostly ruins the feel in original audio. A one night story and so many adrenelin rush. Woo! I just want to erase my memory so that I could watch this movie again. My next stop will be Thambi and Asuran.",10
Random plot with no real direction. Loads of shouting and chaotic scenes that make no real sense.,3
"The cast and directors have done an admirable job of making an average monster in the woods story much more enjoyable than one would expect. I also think it somehow appeals to a wide range of ages. I enjoy the 80's nostalgia. The performance of Millie Bobby Brown, particularly in Season 1, is a large part of why this show works. I hope that it doesn't take itself too seriously as it goes forward and that it can hold onto the surprising fun and easy watching it provides. Well worth a watch.

While I think it is good not great, I am always surprised how hard it is to stop watching a season once you start. Maybe it is better in the moment than in the memory.",7
"Fantastic, Fresh series. The Story develops slowly BUT steady. Intriguing characters. One exception: the doughnut Shop Lady is a more passionate actress than Ellen Page. What does she contribute acting wise?",9
"There can be little doubt by now that Steven Spielberg stands as one of the all-time greatest directors. His technical ability, deft touch and artistic vision has delivered a remarkable range of classic films.

There's a real attraction to witnessing his paen to the world of cinema and seeing the influences that turned him into the director that he is today. It's also true that many of his films have dealt with ""coming of age"" themes before and he's sensitive to their nuances.

It's no surprise then that ""The Fabelmans"" is entertaining and joyous. It captures Spielberg's upbringing in all of its anarchic glory. At the same time some events cast shade over the happiness just as in real life.

However this doesn't exactly make for a compelling, dramatic story and really it could all have been wrapped up in a TV movie. But Spielberg does have a magic touch and this is enough to elevate the drama to a level that makes for worthwhile viewing,",7
"I was loving the show & the show was great, but the sudden weekly release dates are making it bad. I went to read the comics instead.",8
"I really don't understand the positive reviews here. This film is bleak, slow and boring. The music is horrendous. The cinematography is beautiful though. Great visuals. The dogfight sequences are really good. I managed to watch the film halfway,but that's about it.",1
"*I am not a fan of Indian film, mostly I hate it, but Gang of Wasseypur is good.

It is not the typical Indian movie with lot of dancing and typical good guy as lead character.

Watching Gang of Wasseypur is like watching The Godfather instead of watching Indian movies.

The main core of the story is almost similar with The Godfather, but overall with the Indian aspect in it, the story is different. the writer picked real events that happened in India, and put it in the story. So there is little bit history lesson of India there, which is cool.

The character is very different with the Godfather counterpart, Sardar Khan is not like Vito Corleone, he is more violence and kinda selfish, although their core story almost similar. But they are totally different character. The other filler characters is totally different.

Good news , there is no dancing in this movie, but surprisingly, there is many good soundtracks in this film. They put great traditional Indian music instead the typical music in Indian movies.

If you like The Godfather I think you can appreciate this Gang of Wasseypur, even if you hate Indian movies like me. This is not typical Indian movies, totally worth checking.",8
"It was a decent movie to watch on a Sunday night I guess. The main problems here were that it was WAY too long. They could've accomplished the same movie had they cut 20-30 minutes off. There were also things that kind of got redundant between the two leads that kind of made the movie drag. The two main leads were really good but I didn't feel much for the relationship with the parents or their friends around them. That part of the story seemed like an afterthought.

Had they shaved off some time of the movie, taken out the redundant interactions of the two protagonists, and added in some more of how their conditions were affecting everyone else around them I would've given this a solid 8 - but it's only a 5 from me for now. It's a good, albeit VERY depressing and morbid, movie.",5
"Some movies have problems with character development. This..whatever this was just did away with the entire concept.

Instead the ""writers"" just throw at you from the onset a bunch of unoriginal and grossly caricaturized versions of Musk, Joe Rogan, and a bunch of other celebrities, politicians and influencers that I couldn't possibly care less about.

Mix in some silly covid and other social commentary 'humor' with ZERO subtlety, a plot that, after just a few minutes in, clearly had no hope for any kind of redeeming quality at any point, and I've never felt like I was going to waste more time in my life than by sitting there.

This is also a terrifying sign of the times when a decent number of reviewers on here gave this thing a 10 out of 10 score (with one person giving it an..11).

Good for you if you liked it, I guess, but TEN? We're talking about the Godfather, Gone With the Wind, The Big Lebowski, Psycho, the Breakfast Club, the Usual Suspects, the Shinning, etc etc type of level here.

This is right up there with those or even suprpasses them?

I get it, everyone wants to check out for a few hours these days, but this is the cinematic equivalent of a giant slurpee. It looks like a fun time, but it really is full of junk.",1
"If you like anything Alex Garland don't continue reading and start watching. This is a phenomenal little mini series. I'm a bit based as I love these sci-fi tech themed shows and movies and this is just that. The acting is fantastic, directing even better and the story is great. Also the sound design needs a special shout out, it's weird, it's interesting and most of all engaging. I love the main theme with the saxophone...so good.

In general the show might act a bit more abstract and weird than the story essentially is. The story is simple. The concept's that enable it are the ones that are abstract and will wreck your brain. But also leave you with a infinite amount of unanswered questions.

Set design also deserves a shout out as the location is stunning, in and out. VFX work is very good all around, especially the particle effects. But the big Amaya statue never really seems real which just made it look even more out of place. Also *the* reveal scene for Forest...honestly a huge mistake imo to not have the VFX done better there, I laughed (sadly). Action (not much of it) is done well though.

Overall another really good show. Really remined me (as a story) of the Black Mirror episode, San Junipero. Which I loved. Can't wait to see more from Garland.",8
"I've seen good films made by Nolan, and I've seen WW II films of all qualities, but this is a horrendously bad film of any genre. After seeing the two recent Churchill biographies we thought this would fit into the theme, but anyone interested in history should avoid it. Appallingly disorganized and badly directed by Nolan, only the abilities of the seasoned actors held this disaster's head above water.",3
"Attack on Titan is not just one of the greatest animes, it's one of the greatest shows of all time. Rivals that of breaking bad, GOT, FMAB... the ever developing story, the twists and turns, the character development, foreshadowing, how human alike everything is even in this dystopian world. Watch it, I promise you for that you're in for a good good ride, this show did not miss and season 4 is going AMAZING",8
"If you want to laugh, this movie is appropriate. Marvel is very concerned to produce comedy films and forget the incredible histories that Marvel's heroes can give them. So if you want a serious movie, please check other films... this is not for you... is for an afternoon of brain inactivity.",4
"If you liked ""Thin Red Line"" you would like this movie.

There was no point.

No protaginist no antaginist.

No plot.

No climax.

You get my point.

I kept waiting for something to happen but nothing did.

How did movie get an ""R"" rating? There was hardly any violence, no harsh language, no nudity or sex scenes?

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers has more violence.

Who is rating this movie so high?? Just a terribly boring movie. I guess we are all supposed to goo goo gaa gaa over Mohican man.",2
"I get all the critics against Ani, but I liked it. Even if it was something new and even if the other characters known from S1&2 got less screentime: it was nice to watch. I enjoyed S3 sooo much more that S2! I liked that they let Hannah be Hannah and that they showed how the lifes of the other characters developed over time. The acting was good, the characters acted conclusively. S3 was exciting and I puzzeled with the characters. I'm still thinking about whether it would be nicer to watch if we, as the spectator, would know the truth or at least if we were given (better) hints to find out the truth ourselves. The resolution does not seem surprising anymore, to me at least. But thats cherry-picking. Watch to enjoy a good, well-written and exciting Teenager-Drama.",7
For a crew of hand selected operators they sure don't avoid killing innocent pedestrian. The message might be that accidentally killing some person on his or her way to class or work is the lesser evil if you can take down a dictator. I hope Michael Bay will be taking a break after this one to gather his thoughts.,4
"I can not understand the 7,7 rate. This is one of the most boring series I have seen so far, I rarely stop watching tv shows or movies, but this one I stopped watching after the first season. The humor and the jokes are so childish, cheap and so not funny at all. I maybe would have found it funny at the age 14.",1
Watched about an hour of the movie before I gave up. There's not a single character to route for or emphasize with. Every scene is dialogue on top of one another to the point it's unclear what's going on. Really did not have a strong plot or storyline either. Not worth it to me.,2
"The show starts in a very intreging and breath taking paste. I love how they portrayed how Sherlock analysis and sees everything around him. Its almost to the level of the movie by Robert Downey Jr. Which is an absolute master piece. The show is almost at the same level as some episode tend to make you a bit bored as it almost an hour and a half.

The actor who played Morriarty could have been choosen differently, as you compare his character with that of Sherlock he doesn't strick you as a genious mastermind of a villan.

Season 4 was an absolute nightmare. So boring and took the show in a different direction with no real proper closure.",8
"I have to admit that this anime hooks you from the very first episodes and it is most definitely interesting to watch to the very end (maybe except a few episodes). However, the more you think about it the more ridiculous it gets. Characters are pretty typical for an anime (even if the main character is a bad guy, he's still a typical anime bad guy)... a bunch of weirdos for fan-girls to feast on.

The more I think over the plot the less sense it makes. A lot of things simply seem unnecessary and unreasonable. Actually, it's hard to find anything that makes sense in this show and some parts simply seem funny.

Basically, it is interesting to watch but I'd suggest doing it only once otherwise you might start hating it.",7
"Ex Le Mans winner and car maker Shelby (Damon) agrees to take on Ferrari for Ford by winning the 1966 Le Mans 24 hour car race. He agreed provided he can use the best driver Ken Miles (Bale) who the Ford people aren't keen on.

Very exciting - the driving scenes are terrific, but it is the performances and interplay between the 2 leads that makes the film. It is also the strength of the supporting cast - not one bum note that add immeasurably, particularly Letts as Henry Ford and Balfe as Miles' wife.",7
"This is movie is just way below all the bars. Bad story, horrible acting, seriously like a high school play. I dunno if its the directors fault or the script but if something is so bad like this then maybe both and Netflix and the producers as well. A really bad movie.",3
"I had to stop watching this because it got so dark! Everything about it got so dark. I am really disappointed in the past two seasons. It went from good, to bad, to awful.",1
"Bear with the first 3 episodes, you will find a crazy creative TV show!!!! I almost gave up and wondering what happened to Marvel, this is a studio that had made so many amazing movies.... then the 4th episode came and explained why, it's a very complicated story and an absolutely innovative TV show that not a chance you had seen something like this before. Just hold on to it, it's the Marvel, they're trying something new for TV shows, it's a bold try and they wont let you down. Only 9 stars cos the end credits last for crazy long 5 mins... sweating!!!",9
This the best series ever made...great experience by watching Hats off to MCU,9
"I watched this movie because of the hype around it, it's extremely overrated, it's a popular story Idea in the Egyptian film industry. This movie is to watch for once, never watch it again even after 10 years, never suggest it to anyone, very normal.",5
"Don't listen to the Science Nerds or people who want the original series, this reboot is excellent. They did a great job making an entertaining sci-fi series you can watch with your kids that is exciting and has great cliff hangers. The actors are great and I loved the storyline.

Do yourself a favor and don't listen to the naysayers. Watch it yourself with fresh eyes and be willing to let the writers take you on their telling of this story. You won't regret it.",9
"From what I've seen of the show (haven't gotten around to finishing the last 2 seasons) it's really good, I love all of the characters and the story is well written. One day I'll have to rewatch the whole show!",7
"Hi, I saw civil war and I come with good news; it's AWESOME! Im not gonna spoil one single thing, since this movie should be seen by only the two trailers you probably saw. Don't watch any tvspots after the second trailer or whatever! Im gonna touch a few aspects and rate them. Acting: Of course it's amazing. The characters we were waiting for were black panther and of course SPIDERMAN! Both were done amazing! Spiderman has a bigger role than I personally expected and it's done with grace. Love it. Black Panther was such a good character with great motivation why he's doing what he's doing. The acting per usual from the other characters were great! 10/10 Story: Now where another (let's leave it) unnamed superhero movie failed this year, and no I'm not talking about dead-pool.., was the story. Now this story is what I expected from the other unnamed superhero movie. I didn't know what side I wanted to be on; cap's or iron man's. I was so conflicted and even while they're fighting you don't know who to root for. The villain in this movie felt a bit, not really out of place, but unnecessary in my opinion. But Marvel always struggles to find a good fleshed out villain except for Loki & kingpin in the series. 8/10 Action/Cinematography: O boy..If you're an action freak you will love this, if you're a comic book fan.. you're gonna LIVE these amazing action set pieces. The much anticipated airport scene is AMAZING. You've seen nothing, literally nothing of the amazing action that will bestow upon you guys. The airport scene is in complete imax and has a runtime of around 17 minutes. Just let that sink in! The Russo brothers know how to create great action and film it great as well. I can go on record and say this is by far the best superhero action scenes ever. 20/10. Verdict: Was it a perfect movie? No. But for me as a fan it came darn close. The only thing that bothered me were the villains, well actually one of the few that are in there. Was it better than... Batman v superman.. yes by far. I mean we're in a comic book movie year, so we might as well compare it. Batman v superman lacked in a lot of places and civil war just did it better. Just the conflict in ideologies made it so much more believable why the characters fought and because this whole story arc is happening now after 2 cross over movies, 3 iron movies and 2 cap movies.. the stakes are so incredibly high. I tried to compare dead-pool with it as well, but it's a different movie in terms of it being a solo movie and setting something up, instead of showing a conflict between good and good instead of good and evil. 9 out of 10! Near Perfect movie for the fans(9.5) and a good solid action film for the general movie go-ers(9)",10
"This movie is a good, short little film. It's about a man who wants his wife kidnapped so her family pays ransom and he gets a share of the money, but it turns out bad. The film has great actors in it, main character, and Steve Buscemi and his accomplice. The movie is pretty entertaining and worth a watch.",7
"I am not sure of why this movie was added to my watch-list, somehow done and found and watched it. What a waste of time. To me, this is one of the most overrated movies ever. But, at the same time I don't want to be ignorant to the people who this movie historically (or fantastically) about, may be it contains deep emphasis or aspects which a foreigner like me can't infer.

Why? It is a very long movie, add a slow pace to it and finally get a tantalizing experience. This orphan boy was keen to revenge in a scene while having hug from his woman, on to kill the murderer of his heroic father, and then, somehow lost focus. First fought for the rights of mine against him, then insulted him, then jailed, then escaped. Later went into a political rival against ""him"". Come on! You should respect to your father's memory and take revenge... Nope.

Passed the scenes, especially nonsense ones, rapidly.

Finally, don't waste your time.",3
"Overrated. At least I can finally stop wasting money on melatonin now though, I'll just turn this movie on and be asleep within 3 minutes. That's the only reason it's getting more than 1 star.",2
"It was one the most anticipated movies of recent times. I had great expectations as Dicaprio - Pitt - Tarantino is a once in a lifetime affair. But unfortunately it was not what I expected. Acting was Okay, cinematograpy was great, direction clicked at a few spots but WHERE WAS THE STORYLINE??

No plot no story Characterisation was confusing, hard to understand what was Margott Robbie doing in the whole movie.

Al Pacino wasted so was Emile Hersch.

It could have been a lot better had there been a proper story.

We did notice Tarantino's live for women feet at many places but otherwise his direction was dull.

As one review stated, if this wasn't Tarantino's project, it would not have made it to a studio.

Utterly disappointed !!",5
It has been shown to a great extent in this web series that what would have happened if the superheroes were in reality. This is largely a vigorous web series. This sentence has a good look. All the characters have done a great job in this web series.,9
"The movie is around 2 hours First 20 is good , the rest is garbage. Just watch the first 20 minute then turn it off

The last 20 minute has a good action , the middle where is the most dialogue lacks story Very expensive high budge movie but lacks story

Feel sorry for Netflix and the director This movie could have better with a good story.

Over all the action is entertaining",6
"After the previous three ""Amazing"" Spider Man movies, this one is one Spider Man movie that should never have existed. The studio is obviously trying to make extra cash, and with no regard to plot or acting, made a shallow movie with the thinnest plot possible, that looks more like a video game or a comic from the 60's. Everyone was expecting spider-man to face the Lizard these past few years, and now that is finally happened it's a disaster. Peter Parker has been transformed to a cool kid super-genius set on a path to save the world. Unfortunately the only intention of the studio people was to create some nice cool looking cgi fight scenes, and hope people would pay to see them on the big screen. To their disappointment though, I am sure that many 21st century moviegoers have grown a brain and expect a plot even at a super hero movie like spider man. The casting is good, but what can even a good actor do if he is given silly lines to act with? This movie is a waste of time and money, feeding on the good name of the truly great spider-man movies. Nuf Said",2
Thought this movie would be about Ed and Lorraine Warren but instead I had to watch three kids running around a house for an hour and 45 minutes. This movie would've been good if the production was well executed.,1
"Almost every scene is filled with exposition. The writers feel the need to explain every characters motivation and backstory. I guess they never learn the old adage in movie making ""show don't tell"" and it is painful to watch and listen to.",3
"Firstly, as a general opinion, I can say that I didn't want to watch the Barbie movie due to various comments and, at some point, the incredible and, at the same time, exhausting advertising that led to it being overloaded in its release year. Seven months later, I decided to watch it, and although I'm not a filmmaker but I'm cinephile by hobby, I can say I've seen many good movies and award-winning productions with positive reviews. Barbie confidently joins those ranks. What I mean is that while Barbie isn't the movie of the century, it can position itself among great productions beyond surface-level judgments.

Barbie is a film that conveys not just one but several significant messages directly connected to the realities of today. Greta Gerwing showcased an incredible ability to mix and convey a very real message using a doll, particularly one embodying one of the largest perfection stereotypes in history-the Barbie. Her work is admirable.

Beyond what everyone talked about regarding this film, the truth is that it teaches the viewer, in contrast to what each person in this world may want to be, to face the harsh reality of our world. It touches on strong themes such as patriarchy, power, feminism, equality, development, intrafamily and interpersonal relationships, and many more. It doesn't present them in a straightforward and subjective manner, giving us a taste of authenticity in the superficial.

It's a film, as mentioned earlier, that shows much more than the Barbie doll at first glance. It teaches you the tough reality that can be, for example, for a teenager or anyone going through the changes of growing up and how you can accept yourself and find your own identity. It conveys this in a way that can be summarized as a life lesson.

For a long time, I hadn't seen a film that, on a personal level, impacted me in the way this Barbie movie did. I certify the greatness of this production, from every tiny detail to the numerous messages and teachings it imparts.

Getting into specifics, there's much to say about this production, such as Greta Gerwing's outstanding direction evident in every detail of the film. Margot Robbie's performance, whom I've watched grow in various films and recently in an underrated role in ""Babylon,"" where she delivered a splendid performance showcasing her immense potential. In Barbie, she reminded us of this potential in an exemplary way. Margot completely immersed herself, providing us with a phenomenal performance that conveyed emotions in a way that resonated with me. I believe she did this with many others, making her an impeccable actress. In a drama, you expect it to convey emotions, and Margot exceeded any expectations, displaying the true authenticity of her performance. Ryan Gosling, as expected, also delivered an impeccable performance, effectively conveying his emotions. However, as anticipated, the protagonist stole the show, and I emphasize that I share the sentiment of dissatisfaction at not seeing her at least nominated for an Oscar, along with her director.

In terms of the music, it's evident that three songs stand out. I'll start with ""Dance The Night,"" another masterpiece that conveys, above all, a message in its lyrics, providing a reality check to what could have been a conventional and commercial pop song. It doesn't show the superficiality but rather blends the movie's own message of superficiality and reality. The next is ""I'm Just Ken,"" a song that truthfully teaches me who I am and who I can be, encapsulating in a single song the explanation of Ken's frustration and that particular theme in real life. Finally, the magnificent song that defies description is ""What Was I Made For?"". I feel it's a song sung from the depths of Adele's sorrow in one of her songs, and no, this time it's not her; it's Billie Eilish. The entire film and life itself are summarized in a grand closing and concluding song in this movie, saying so much in so little. It's the unparalleled nature of this song, especially with Billie's performance, which conveyed the emotion 100%. Undoubtedly, it's one of the best songs in a movie.

In conclusion, as the title suggests, this is somewhat of an essay on Barbie. Barbie is much more than the Barbie movie and provokes profound thoughts. It's a film that delves into many themes, something that Greta skillfully utilized from the brand. If she had handled this differently, it might not have had the same impact. Although there are mixed opinions about this film, what is apparent needs no mention, and this is what the film offers beyond a brand. Barbie is undoubtedly one of the best movies of the decade.",8
Best suspense thriller i have watched Just awesome.,10
"Good story, good acting but too many illogical/typical bollywood things ruined it for me, specially in second half.",6
This movie was just riding off of the back of nostalgia and completely ruined the sense the movie should have carried. The writing was lazy and Peter's reason for casting the spell was pathetic.... definitely an overrated film.,4
"This move has it all. Dont believe the nay sayers. It was the first movie in years I didnt get bored of and had to watch my cellphone for a quick glance or two just to check if I got some message or what time it is.

The russian bots are downvoting this movie to hell because it contains ""anti-russian propaganda"" to them. This is the internet after all.",9
"Oh, it's not Scorsese or Mann. It's Michael Bay. Therefore you should realise that this film is going to be trash and just sit back and enjoy it. Nah. Trash is trash.",2
"Not much else to say, Gore and guts, bit funny now and then, fighting , sex , and Henry. All ok with me 😊",7
"This movie is pretty good, I enjoyed watching it with my family and kids.",6
"There are some movies that are so bad they're funny. This was not one of these movie...it was just bad..super bad. You would have thought the name would have tipped me off, or the fact that it was my somewhat juvenile male friends that convinced me to see this movie. Even the almost empty cinema. Alas no.

The plot was near non existent, however I don't think that's what the makers were aiming at. I also thought that the humour was near non existent, especially having read reviews that this movie was ""hilareous"" and ""I laughed myself silly"". Were we watching the same movie? Who in their right mind finds period blood funny? When there are so many funny movies that are never seen, why put this up at village and hoyts, when they were clearly just out to make money from people with interesting views on what is humorous, or innocent unknowing victims like myself.

There are many movies that are not meant to be taken seriously, and some that are trying to be funny. I don't know what this movie was trying to be, but whatever it was failed. Badly.",1
"This film was not what I was expecting at all, it was such a captivating and thrilling watch. The dialogue and acting from every cast member was absolutely spot on. It is such a well thought out and brilliantly scripted film. Unpredictable and uplifting at times, it shows that an original movie really can be special when watched for the first time. I was smiling the whole way through, the cast list is outrageous and overwhelming with talent. Bale proves to me once again why he is my favourite actor, his range is superb. The film kept me guessing the whole way through and never failed to amaze me. So worth your time.",9
"I can not understand all these bad reviews, the movie was great and funny. I love the Venom franchise with Tom Hardy, the movies are awesome and Venom 2 was a very good movie.

I know I am probably alone with this but find the venom movies funnier than the deadpool movies. Venom 2 was super funny and I recommend the movie to every marvel fan (well at least to these that do also read the comics). I agree it was not the most elaborated story for sure, but it was fine and finally a movie again that didn't last 3 hours, this one here was even a bit shorter than a usual movie (about 93 minutes). Can't wait to see Venom meeting other marvel characters :)",10
"I wasn't sure about watching the sequel to Knives Out because I found the first film to be quite slow and overhyped. And if you read a lot of the reviews, you might think it isn't worth watching. But I find that people are very quick to leave negative reviews, but aren't so quick to leave positive comments. So, I decided to watch it and am so glad I did. This film drew me in from the beginning. They haven't gone overboard with famous veteran actors to try to carry the film with names rather than actual plot. It does have some famous names, but it also has humour, mystery and a great, multi-layered story. Glass Onion is definitely worth watching. And there is a great twist too. I loved it.",10
"Can't really get into this series, it must be made only for American audiences as it has no value to anyone living elsewhere, I am in Australia. Only good thing about it is James Marsden, always nice to see him again.

I guess jury systems are similar world wide but as of now I am well past the age to be on one in my country. Can't understand how America would have the older lady on a jury as age does make a difference in decision making.

I see only the first four episodes are currently available to view, however I don't think I will be watching the ones still to come. Days go by and what is available to watch is getting much harder.",3
Aside from Top Tier animation and Osts the story itself is neat. Even though the manga had bad ending like worse than Game of Thrones. Its still good.,9
"PULP FICTION

Aspect ratio: 2.39:1 (Panavision)

Sound format: Dolby Stereo SR

Great dialogue counts for much in Quentin Tarantino's highly acclaimed PULP FICTION, but the film suffers at times from a surfeit of unnecessary chatter. None of the main characters are particularly likable, but Tarantino's script is eventful and forthright, and he manages to juggle the disparate elements of humor and horror with consummate ease. Harvey Keitel steals the film in a cameo appearance that doesn't actually require him to *do* very much, but he does it beautifully anyway; Maria de Medeiros is sweetness itself in another cameo as Bruce Willis' girlfriend; and Samuel L. Jackson dominates the screen in a disturbing sequence where he and John Travolta confront some thieving young punks (led by Frank Whaley) in a run-down apartment. Best scene: a 'hilarious' gunshot decapitation and its grisly aftermath.",4
"One of the few movies I have ever seen that made me feel soiled and pistol whipped. Although the non-linear story line is indeed an interesting concept Tarantino becomes so absorbed in showing us society's underbelly he leaves us with a hopeless mess of a film. The violence is a study in wretched excess, involving careless murders, drug use, kidnapping and rape. There isn't even a single character worth understanding or identifying with. I ended up hoping everyone, including Tarantino, would die at the end of this film. Unfulfilling garbage.",3
"Director Sam Hargrave is a stunt coordinator and it shows. The stunt scenes are really high-octane level and totally engrossing. But, with a wafer thin story and mostly shot in India and Bangladesh (or that is also shot in India??), the movie failed to impress us.

The director should be heavily influenced by Hindi movies, as Exctractor could have been a Hollywood Hindi movie. With mostly Indian actors and the way Hemsworth's character is portrayed, we couldn't stop thinkin that this could have been an Amitabh starrer of yesteryears. Only thing that is missing is the presence of songs.

The screenplay is racy without doubt. But, things look totally disjointed and everyone looks like a villain.

I was very eager to watch a decent flick with Chris Hemsworth....but, totally disappointed with this masala film.",5
"What a load of codswhallop. I waited for months to see this movie and was swept along by all of the rave reviews. 10 minutes in and I had already counted more preposterous flaws and scientific absurdities than I was any longer able to keep track of. The acting is wooden, one dimensional and utterly juvenile. Bullock is an emotional and physical wreck almost from the first instant, she is technically inept, sullen and devoid of professionalism, or any very redeeming qualities whatsoever. She is nothing at all that you would expect of an astronaut. She doesn't so much just not have the right stuff, rather she appears to have no ""stuff"" whatsoever. In fact one could say her performance was such a 'howler' so to speak, that there are junctures in the movie where it becomes utterly comedic. To make things worse strong comparisons can be drawn between Clooney's character and Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear, the only difference in this case being that Buzz produces a much more convincing, likable and 'less plastic' performance than Clooney. If you like big ass old CGI induced explosions, vacuous performances and sci-fi movies that are utterly devoid of any of the ""sci"" component at all, then this is undoubtedly the movie for you. In space it seems, no one can see you create drivel.

The sad thing is that with the utterly inexplicable high reviews and rave ratings this movie has received, Hollywood will only continue to pump out more dross like this and in so doing will only continue to contribute to the dumbing down of science among the general public overall.

Basically if you like bad comic books, never progressed beyond junior level science (and did pretty badly in this), like huge pointless CGI explosions, enjoy 2D, juvenile, uninspirational characters, backed up by clueless, uninspirational acting and juvenile one dimensional dialogue (even though they use 3D special effects to no meaningful purpose, beyond a pointless visual spectacle for the spectacularly uniformed ), then this is exactly the movie for you! For those with even a modicum of scientific background, intelligence and taste, I suggest you do a search on Google for ""all the bad science in Gravity the Movie"".

I used to trust IMDb ratings. But that's twice in a row now I have duped into watching movies with off the scale IMDb ratings (the other being Prisoners), where plot-line, acting and everything about the movie was so abysmally bad, it almost beggared belief.

There must just be an awful lot of non-scientists out there. Cluelessness abounds ...",1
"Although this review is from 2016, I remember being excited for Nolan's new feature a couple of years ago, even though I see him as an overrated director. Quite frankly, he's done some pretty good movies, and one with one of the best performances I've ever seen in any film, but my biggest issue with him relies on the fact that he usually can't maintain the quality of the story throughout the film. And this happens here.

We have a first great act. Nolan manages to present us a dark, hopeless and dangerous world, the fear felt by the population resonates on the audience. The characters are well introduced - specially Murphy and Nolan neither hurries nor wastes any time with the first hour.

However, once we get to the space, things get a little out of hand. Visually speaking, the film is spectacular and it has one of the best scenes Nolan ever directed. Screenplay wise however, the movie falls short. Old problems return. Overexposed dialogues are the main issue here. Some of them (one being about love) are cringe worthy.

The final act is the worst. Interstellar relies on a plot twist that feels both contrived and disjointed. It's, again, visually incredible, but the story behind is poorly structured. As a matter of fact, the screenplay of the film is poorly written. The final minutes are probably the most disappointing things I've seen in the last few years. Not only does it go against everything built up so far, but it's simply ridiculous and cheesy.

The performances here are solid. Jessica Chastain is the best one, playing a character that grew with the hope of seeing her father again - whom she has a greater connection. The actress that plays Young Murphy is surprisingly great, looking forward to seeing more of her. Matthew is great, but not his best performance.

All in all, it's a visually appealing film, incredible soundtrack and solid performances. While the story is poorly structured, cringe worthy dialogues, a contrived plot twist and an ending that gets close to destroying Nolan's latest, uneven work.",5
"I found the story entertaining. Martin Shorts character is a mess, not my favorite. Selina Gomez acting is mediocre and flat, not sure if that's the character or not. I do like the idea of her character and I'm neither a fan nor a hater of Selina herself.

My biggest gripe is the constant use of the F-Bomb in every episode 1-3, and by so many characters. I'm just not a fan of that word or swearing in general. It's not SO commonly OR Frequently used by MOST people in life in general... and those that do make themselves sound ignorant. Why the writers feel the need to put it in is beside me. It's absolutely NOT necessary. Not only does it NOT add anything, it takes away.

I'm not likely to continue watching nor to recommend for that simple fact. Too bad!",6
Must watch film. I like kangana's acting so much. She is sublime as always!!,10
"(+) Pros:

* I love classic ""whodunnit"" films, where you have to find the killer and you have to pay attention to every detail, because it's very important for the revelation. This is happening here too.

* I liked that the husband is policeman and the wife is crime-novel lover. Their assumptions as ""experts"" were pretty funny.

* Every character in the film was very funny. We had the eccentric Indian, the Mexican who couldn't reach an understanding, the handsome and gentleman nephew, etc.

* The part where the one would accuse the other of being the killer, because their assumptions were hilarious. I liked the fact that we had optical material for almost every conjecture.

* It wasn't that predictable (at least for me).

* Beautiful shots of Italy and France.

* Beautiful photography and directing.

* Even the deaths where comical at some point. Especially the first. I was laughing hard.

* Glad that there wasn't a butler! It would be too cliché.

* The pacing was fast and entertaining.

* I loved that the cast was multicultural. We had the Americans, the English one, the Welsh one, the Japanese one, the Finish one, the Indian one, the Mexican one, the French one, etc.

(-) Cons:

* The first 10 minutes were pretty boring.

* I find Adam Sandler's acting weird. I'm not sure yet if he's untalented or it's just his style.",6
"Bad exposition, cgi is rubbish, the story itself is rubbish. The armour is ridiculous, fight scenes are horrible.",3
"Ok it looks quite good, though the slight blurring of the visuals I found off putting. It's the story and the characters that are just emotionally detached. The only character I even found interesting was the 2nd dimensional Peter. It just jumps through the hoops till the end. Disappointed",6
"(Keeping review simple) If you are confused or planing to watch later, then don't skip... Watch in theaters... Great acting delivered by all the actors... A Great work done by Uri team... Keep it up...",9
"This has still been pretty enjoyable to watch thru the first few episodes.

If I'm being picky, there are just a few instances I would consider as MINOR distractions.

One example is that there is ""something"" about Teresa Palmer's manner of speech. It sounds to me like someone who is still learning how to speak with an accent. I'm guessing she sounds fine to British audiences but may comes off as sounding awkward to United States English speakers (me).

Another thing that occurs on a fairly regular basis is that the story seems to move along a little more quickly than I'm expecting. I have not read the book but I'm guessing the writers for this series had to make some concessions to fit the story within the time constraints of a fixed number of TV episodes. I often find myself thinking ""gee.. that was fast"". Noticeable by me but not to the point where I'd all it ""jarring"" or ruining the scene(s).",8
"It is a good movie with a very good performance by Christian Bale, also you can learn more about the car history.",7
"First just watch 1992 Hoffa-better acting and story and no gimmick or one-liners.

When released in Oct I wrote Halloween horror or Christmas come early or Tradesmen a Martin Scorsese move, a gangster movie with no women doing the plumbing.--------------------------------------------------------- If I had to list the perfect cast for a mafia film this cast would be it and the director would be Marty, however this is the strangest mafia film I have ever seen.---------------------------------------------------------------- I know its based on a book but at 3h 30m it felt like 5hrs. I cant say I liked the C. G. I De-Aging looked like they had big heads in some scenes and reminded me of early south park. -------------------------------------The movie Struggled to get started and really fell below directors normally high standards, a let down with bad editing and script.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I think the nostalgia of having so many famous actors in one last film seemed too good to be true, but I liked seeing them again on screen together. The downside was that no film is going to be as good as Godfather and this story is nowhere near as good as Casino and Good-fellas either. --------------------------------------------------------------------It Theirs a few good jokes one ""you just can't get that smell out of those seats"" ,what type of fish? Its a big fish and the other joke, a knife you run a gun you charge. I do carpentry and decorating. After reading esquire magazine about true story and a book ""I heard you paint houses"" I looked up what they looked like in real life and jimmy Hoffa looks like Stephen Graham, maybe he should have played that role.

I will watch it again but not sure I will change my mind.",5
Classic form beginning to end and always will be 🤚😁,10
Arguably the best OTT series to have come from India. Perfectly cast actors in their respective roles and perfectly enacted by each one of them. Technically brilliant. Must watch,9
"I come back every week to get a load of Chloe Bennet. The show itself is a total miss for me from episode 1. In fact everything this show had to say in terms of main plot was in episode 1. Now it is just recycling itself. It reminds me of the Alcatraz flop that way. Another parallel to Alcatraz is that I do not really care about main characters, their issues and chemistries. The underlying problem with this show is that the setting is in post alien war of the Avengers. The extras -- the rest of humanity that is -- went back to living their ordinary pre-war lives, like the world did not change at all. Clark Gregg's character is becoming annoying. He comes across like a softie with a tough job. Ming-Na Wen's character is the flattest, most naive and most lifeless character I've seen in a TV show or a movie. The two geeks are isolated from reality, human nature and the plot itself to such extent that they probably would not even notice if you kept them under a glass bell the whole time. The are supposed to be incredibly smart but the insistence on their geekiness is so overblown that their level of sentience appears equal that of lab rats. I could go on and start to rant but it really boils down to Chloe for me. Sorry.",1
"So firstly, let me start by saying I'm not the biggest Marvel fan.

But after watching it I soon caught up on Wanda/Vision/Scarlet Witch's history/backstory as it's an excellent slice of TV.

At its beating heart is a wonderful performance by Elizabeth Olsen, she shines as a woman wracked with the loss of the love of her life. (As seen in Avengers Endgame).

WandaVision perfectly portrays what we all go through at some point in our life -grief.

Paul Bettany as Vision is also excellent and carries what for me is and delivers the line of the series with ""what is grief if not love preserving"" Loss indeed hurts. A lot.

It may be a slow start for some, but for me I loved the first half of the series a lot. It's a perfect blend of comedy and at times 'The Twilight Zone'.

If I had one criticism it would be that for me the last episode felt very 'Marvel' and loose ends were tied together a little too quickly. (Another thing we can blame Covid on lol).

But don't let that put you off, this is a brilliant series and well worth anyone's time especially I think older folk like me haha

And finally, a big special mention to Kathryn Hann, she steals every single scene she's in as the nosey neighbour (she even gets her own theme tune that even after multiple views really makes me laugh)

So yes, now I am somewhat a bit of a Marvel fan.

WandaVision is superb.",9
"The movie is well made, from the acting to the CGI.

I think the main problem was the script. I did not feel any connection to the characters, to the point I caught myself thinking, ""Hmm, if the villain wins, who could defeat him with so much power, not superman he's weak to magic..."".

It's not a good sign when you are not rooting for the hero, but merely, matter-of-factly, waiting to see who's gonna win, not really caring either way.

The final showdown felt blown out of proportion for an inexperienced, unprepared hero, it's like, (if you watch Shazam you'll understand the reference), if NEO from The Matrix went straight to fight over-powered Agent Smith from The Matrix Revolutions.

In the end, it tried to be light-hearted and jovial as Spider-man while being a little funny like Deadpool, and missed both targets.

So sad for the potential wasted, it could have given the magic aspect just a little backstory so we wouldn't have been completely lost, develop the kids friendship a little more, maybe one or two bonding experiences, while having the final showdown with a little less world-ending stakes.",5
"Love this movie, at some point you lough like mad....",10
"Only watch if you're a Marvel ""fanboy"", which I'm not, otherwise it doesn't make any sense. First few episodes are pointless any annoying, got a bit better when the mystery is revealed, then it's just hocus pocus nonsense and CGI after that.",2
"I was so looking forward to Parasite. What a disappointment. Is this the movie that has won all these awards and put Korea on the map? I sat through it waiting for something to spark my interest, anything that would raise this oriental potboiler social comedy of manners into high art. It failed to materialise. The acting is cartoony (perhaps it's supposed to be), the plot downright silly although I would say it had some originality and overall it just seemed pretty poor. It was neither satirically funny enough or dramatic enough to be a stunning black comedy. Far too aware of itself. I did want to like this. I was anticipating another ""Roma"" but all I got was a frantic mess.",5
I have been using imdb rating for shows and movies to watch since past 10 years and mostly they have been approximately correct. But this show is very overrated. So I had to create an account to correct it. The show is poorly scripted. There are no character arc developed. No story has been given to characters. There are multiple unresolved mixing of past timelines and present time lines.,1
"The worst from the last decades munched together with one goal: to appeal to the stupid masses. The fights seem unbelievable à la ""I'm the evil monster and I threw the hero on his back, but don't kill him with my razor-sharp claws, I rather throw him against the wall again."" Meanwhile, the viewer is supposed to endure CGI effects that frighteningly look similar to those of ""Fantasy"" series of the early 90s. Dialogues are oftentimes totally overdramatized, like in annoying teenager vampire shmonk flix from 10 years ago. Plus a cast stuffed with exclusively beautiful people. No courage for ugliness. Not mature. Character development with big jumps. The makers have learned nothing from the last few decades, or maybe one thing: how to address a target audience to make a ton of money.",6
Too much nudity 👎 👎👎!!!!!! I feel confused every time I watch it,1
"Great cast, doing the best they can with what they have to work with and the nod to another movie genre is good, but the movie is a bit all over the place and, worst of all, the whole thing is smothered in Disney's saccharine and cheese sauce.",3
"Yes, it's defined by PC bull crap (more like devolved)...yes, writing is idiotic.. story is simplistic... ..for me the worst is the absence of proper science and some (ANY!) logic in actions of the ""lost"" settlers... to make it simple, they (writers) cut corners, script actors to behave erratic, not like adults and force them to act wooden ...

guess, it's created for the generation of morons = millennials ... I do not care about the original (never seen it) so no false expectations btw..",5
"Story feels complex and not very engaging, comic movements are few and far, some story plots seems unnecessary or over dragged, except two stories of kidnapping and sex tape both other stories seems uninteresting while basu as narrator is not beneficial to any story as he engage in morality side of characters, every actor did decent job but Rao and tripathi shines in movie, technical aspect are okay, overall 6.5 /10 is my verdict.",6
"Geralt is great. Yen is a mess. Screenwriters did a great job of destroying a perfectly written story, offering chaos instead. I am already hoping for a proper adaptation.",1
Good acting Good cinematography Very watchable But not great,6
"I haven't laughed this much since I saw ""Scary Movie 2"" and ""Lost in Thailand"". In addition to being funny, it has heart. Two high school friends determined to get laid go on a crazy adventure to get the beer needed to score. While doing so they begin to wonder what their future will be without each other as well as what it'll be like moving on.

The jokes always get a laugh (particularly the McLoven one). The story's nothing new but what they do with it is have a solid story you can always relate and go back to. The characters are funny and likable. It's understandable how and why they act.

Superbad's one of the funniest comedies of all time. The jokes hit all the time, the characters are funny and on top of that, the story has a heart that carries it through. It's actually pretty smart when you think about it. It's not toilet jokes the whole time, the jokes are there to help tell the story. I highly recommend this movie. You'll be leaving for god knows how long.",10
"I know it starts a little bit boring, but I think it's part of the story build up, It is a story of a High school lad, Light Yagomi who finds a book, Death Note, in the field. It comes with rules on it and finds out when you write someone's name he/she can die. He uses it to punish the wrong doers in the society by death, but one thing comes in his way, detective L tasked with the job of finding the person killing people using the note book.",9
"1917 renders much of a survival movie like Dunkirk rather than non stopping war shootings genre. The movie looked fantastic and the scenes and shots were breath taking.

Sam Mendes use of almost continuous filming aids the overall story. Two young n.c.o.s picked for what looks like a suicide mission.

Cinematographer - Roger deakins, was fantastic, absolutely, some stunning. It is designed as two extraordinary long, unbroken shots, itself is worthy of an Oscar win.

The cast is also brilliant, with each actor giving stellar performances and countless cameos from well renowned figures such as Benedict Cumberbatch, Colin Firth, Mark Strong and Richard Madden.

The plot is where the downside comes. Mind that it is great and propulsively executed but the emptiness of the sub-stories is what 1917 suffers.

Overall I think this is worth-watchable, expertly made war film.",8
"Excellent in music and art! Look at how people say ""people"", the change of a person's personality, the influence of the family on him, the trigger point of society on his behavior, all the madness stems from the dislike of the world, but all the madness is only to rekindle the world. hope. I like this kind of film that does things that I can't do. It is also good to achieve it in this way. Even those who ""dare to do"" still have a sly side. This is ""people"".",9
"What I came away with the most is surprising puzzlement, not so much for the movie's message, but for my inability to account for Margot Robbie's hold on my attention. I can't say this movie impressed me very much, and I doubt many men will enjoy it, but there is time spent with Margot Robbie, who is really unique. I can't really think of another actress who seems to understand the inner workings of a lot more than most of her peers.

Her performance pulled me through what seemed a fair description of the problem of patriarchy as seen by women, at least. And an odd depiction of a 'perfect' women's world. I was left thinking Greta Gerwig is almost as unusual as Margot is, but, even so, she seems to not have found an answer to the question she poses in this movie. How do we reconcile the very different world's men and women prefer?

It's clever that she uses an iconic doll to make her point, but it's just a way to frame the whole question in a non-threatening way. Still, I can't think of a more entertaining introduction to the issue. And it helps that there are so many great performances in this movie, not to mention the wild sets and energetic production numbers. Not really my thing though I appreciate the skill with which they were rendered.",7
Only 4 episodes in. Yes the artwork isn't for everybody. Even i personally didn't like it. But there's a story here. If you're into time travelling you'll like this.,8
"This film takes only the bare essentials of its source material, has a slow beginning and rushed ending, a cliched villain and sub par CGI effects. But despite all of this the film is a lot of fun. Hardy's performance as both Eddie Brock and Venom is relatable and hilarious, giving Hardy a chance to play towards his comedic strengths. Michelle Williams and Riz Ahmed also do well in their respective roles, despite being giving little to do in the script. The action is also quite interesting, and despite the rushed fight in the end, it's very well done and you feel energized after going through it. All in all Venom is a film that could've been something much more, but for what we got it's an enjoyable ride that lets Tom Hardy lead the pack.",5
"I would like to cover up everything in just one word ""Outstanding"" This movie is so good and composed in such a manner, that if you don't use to respect Indian Army, then you will now ! It's a Masterpiece !! Hail Indian Army . ITS A MUST WATCH MOVIE WITH FAMILY IN NOLLYWOOD",10
Good ending but I was almost at sleep at times waiting for it. I knew something was going to happen because it's Tarantino and it's rated as including severe bloody violence but nearly two hours in I was still wondering when. There's clearly references to real people from that era that are famous but I missed most of them and in some cases didn't realise who they were until I looked them up after the movie. There's some good music and occasional funny bits but most of the time it doesn't go anywhere until the climatic ending. I imagine Tarantino fans and movie history buffs will love it but others will find it slow.,5
"I didn't expect much from this movie at first, then by the interim i was quite enticed by the storytelling and the unraveling of different events,All lead to a good premise tbh..

I was extremely disheartened how it ended with all the potential it had carried through, I don't mind a good narrative or social message in a movie, but if that entails an erosion of the solemnity of a movie, i'm better without one.",5
"This review is just for the last ( that I am ever going to watch ) series of witcher, RIP.

Series 3 is very much up and down, episode 1 starts well, we see Gerald do his suff, then it devolves into a love story . As my G/F pointed out no way would Gerald do any of that .

But the plot is carried forward in patches so was still drawn onward, some fights some intrigue, lots and lots of diversity , everyone turns gay for some reason ,and little girls killing improbably huge monsters ( cringe, but this blatent girl fantasy has been around since season 1, it is something have learned to put up with in order to enjoy the show ), as ever everyone is after Ciri in some form or another.

Then we get to episode 5 , where we see the Witcher dance in the wost cut clothes ever concieved. At this point it feels like the producer is actually punishing Henry for being to cool.

Episode 6 , the Action and plot really picks up, they seem to pack most of the series interest, plot and general life into that 1 episode.

Then finally comes ep 7, and 8.

What should have been an exiting conclusion to the series ends up being the WORST 2 episodes of any series EVER. I kid you not , I have seen every sci-fantasy series/film in existence, those 2 episodes rank among the worst, we are talking ""Amazons From Outer Space"" bad.

Please save your time, precious life, sanity and do NOT watch past ep 6 , just let the series go at that point, needless to say do not bother with Series 4 whenever I drops.",2
"Quick before hand: I don't think most movie watchers feel like qualified to review this movie, including myself but I'll do my best.

The god Father pt 2 is the continuation of the first. It is based around the new god father Micheal and how he handles his rise to power.

This movie to me, completely overtakes the first. The story is just so well put together and I LOVE how they tie in the godfathers origin as well as Michael's story. It is just so entertaining and beautifully made. I didn't get bored once.

The soundtrack is just beautiful and it fits the movie so well. The main theme haunts you. Finally the cinematography is superb setting standards for other movies as well. It just flows so smoothly and works phenomenally.

The movie is a work of art.",9
"Shingeki no Kyojin is after all a Shonen and aimed at teens/young adult, the show never fails to remind you of the fact by feeling the need to explain every single things all the time, nothing is told without one of the character saying it out loud.

If you enjoyed the likes of Demon Slayer, you will love this.

The show has great visuals and a unique story despite its lacking storytelling.",6
"Judging by the cast of Interstellar there is a seemingly endless roster of movie stars begging for at least a cameo in Christopher Nolan's movies. But this shouldn't come as a surprise after the success of The Dark Knight trilogy.

So what did we have here? A lot of great CGI images and some truly heartbreaking moments. They were joined together by scenes that better fit an SF movie of B provenance. I don't want to go into discussing the scientific and ""scientific"" background, but the characters behave as if they were on a somewhat complicated journey to inner Antarctica and not the boundaries of outer space.

The launch of Interstellar is partly a lesson in contemporary communication. Even before it's premiere the media fanfare determined that Interstellar would be a masterpiece. For some reason everyone follows without questioning the sloppy moments.",4
"This show takes your classic hero's journey and turns it into a fun, creative saga. I like that each episode is about something different, similar to more recent shows like The Mandalorian, but there is still a meaningful story that ties everything together.",10
"The characters are bland, the politics heavy plot insipid, and even Matt Smith's acting could not rescue this bomb. G Martin should have stayed out of the script writing business and finished books 6 and 7 of GOT instead.

HBO clearly failed to provide any creative oversight over this series. Stop hiring no talent hacks. Season 8 of GOT should have been warning enough. $200 million down the drain.",2
"A prequel to an epic like GOT is going to need a few episodes to settle into its own. This show has promise, and by the end of second episode, it's getting some traction.

Sure, production quality feels a little uneven, which surprised me given its hefty budget compared to GOT. And the casting choices leave some things to be desired. But we were so invested in GOT actors and the characters that were fully developed over so many years, a new cast is bound to feel shallow and flat at the start. Still, aside from Matt Smith and Rhys Ifans, maybe they could have done a bit better?

Still, I hope this show will be a redemption of GoT's dismal final season.",7
"A film with a great closure but that does not surpass its predecessor in terms of quality refers to it, although it is true that we should not let go of fanaticism the film is good but it is not to be considered a jewel or that it is above several cult movies",4
"Steven Chow has become one of my favorite directors. This somewhat dark comedy pays homage to Citizen Kane, The Godfather, The Shining and The Bugs Bunny Roadrunner Movie. The film has virtually the same theme and setting of ""Gangs of New York"" and still managed to create likable characters. Even though this is seemingly a more serious film than Shaolin Soccer, it still has the playful humor that made it such a fun movie.

Kung Fu Hustle is a great mix of action cinematography and cartoon like special effects. Chow's brand of humor and understanding of new and classic cinema techniques makes him a truly great director, writer and actor. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. Kung Fu Hustle is what ""Gangs of New York"" should have been.",10
"I went into this with pretty low expectations, with Tim Burton's name prominently featured and the premise ripe for YA nonsense. But you have to give create where credit is due, Jenny Ortega pretty much single-handedly elevated what would have otherwise been another fate-winx saga and/or cursed or other esc. Show into something better. I mean the writing isn't really much better than those sort of shows but the acting is what makes it enjoyable, esp the main character. Worth a watch if you are into mild horror/goth stuff. Hope netflix makes a note of this when casting and/or making future shows.",8
This movie made me laugh and cry at the same time very few movies have been able to do that.. Best movie in recent times. Rakshit Shetty is awesome but Charlie stole the show . This will be a cult classic in the future. Love you Charlie.,10
Mesmerizing first 30 minutes! But the weak story-line and weaker lead acting got me bored halfway into the film. It's a real shame.,5
"This was a really solid horror movie. Sure, it suffers from some flaws common to the genre, but unlike 90% of Blumhouse films, this is a horror movie I will probably remember. The biggest flaw is that occasionally characters make unusual choices to make the story happen, but that is more forgivable in horror. I would rank Talk to Me up with Black Phone and Babadook, maybe even being as generous as It Follows. The pacing felt a little slow towards the beginning, but it picked up before too much drag. One of its best qualities that it has a reveal ending that makes you see several different scenes from a new perspective, so it is re-watchable. Most of the characters were basically relatable, and the acting from the leads was fantastic. All-around great horror movie that probably did not cost too much to make. Well done again, Australia!",8
"Found this movie so stretched out longer than what it needed to be. Yea i understand they wanted to show off the pretty world but jesus christ, way to drag a movie on for longer than what it needed to be.

So much of the movie is just like watching a nature documentary, just showing avatars running,swimming and flying in nature. Way to much coverage of the environment, it takes you away from the actual story of the movie. So by 2 hours i pretty much lost interest in whats happening which is a shame. Oh well..

Take a hour off of this movie and my rating would have been much higher most likely.",3
"Exhilarating & fun action & effects sequences, along with some decent mystery-solving elements, make up for its occasional dalliances into plot conveniences & unfortunate off-screen plot reveals.",9
"I was hesitative as to whether or not I should watch this show after the classic masterpiece by Igor Maslennikov with Vasily Livanov as Sherlock, Vitali Solomin as Watson, Rina Zelyonaya as Mrs.Hudson and Borislav Brundukov as Lestrade. I was afraid that pursuing the high profit the makers of this show would put too much in visual effects and action and little to nothing in reproducing the spirit of Conan Doyle's characters like it happened with the latest comic-like movie with Downey Jr. (which is fun and all, but isn't about Sherlock Holmes actually).

I'm glad that I was wrong in my concerns and that I have watched this show. It is brilliant. Sherlock is definitely very different from the classic Holmes as one would imagine reading Conan Doyle and is like a 100% opposite of Livanov's Sherlock, but this new Holmes is still a very interesting and fascinating character. It was a wise decision to bring the story to modern times where this crazy character seems much more fit than he would in XIX century.

It's a pity that Mrs.Hudson in this show is such a ""pale"" and secondary character. Indeed she was a secondary character in the book, but look at Rina Zelyonaya! She made an incredibly bright and remarkable secondary character. In this TV show I wouldn't even ask for the name of this actress.

Lestrade here is a very usual, average, standard, faceless, you name it, police inspector. Absolutely unremarkable. That's another con as compared to Maslennikov's TV series where Brundukov made a marvelous dumbhead yet not farcical inspector that you could very possibly encounter in a police department. In this show on the contrary, I suspect, they've been given a task to not offend the police and hence this pale and faceless character.

Dr.Watson on the other hand is brilliantly played by Martin Freeman and I'm glad that for this role they took an actor resembling my favourite Vitali Solomin. Watson played by Freeman matches my own image of this character very well and makes the show no less than Cumberbatch does.

All in all, I like this show a lot. I give it 8/10 for changing the original Conan Doyle's stories too much sometimes (in Baskerville Hounds for example). But in all the rest it's a brilliant show.",8
Every charector done his job above the level. Pankaj Tripathi and rajkumar rao are outstanding.,10
"bad scenario weak building of the characters all characters except wonder woman, Steve lake of motives ending not logic at all Steve can do any thing except what he did the main idea of the movie is to finish evil wars by killing Iris is contrasted with what really happened. action is silly. taking about the magnificent beauty of wonder women not matched with reality.",5
"Ant Man and the Wasp isn't special as a movie, much less so as a Marvel movie. While it does have some passable visual gags, it is riddled with plotholes and spends the first few minutes dishing out exposition that you could easily pick up if you've seen the first Ant Man and Captain America: Civil War (why would you watch a sequel before the original, anyways). The product placements in this movie are particularly blatant, which is saying something for a Marvel movie.

Still, like I said, a few of the visual gags are passable, and the fight choreography is enjoyable, but as a movie that doesn't exactly need to exist in the first place, it's better to be avoided to save some money. You're not missing much.",4
"This is a great looking film, top directing, superb acting and a quality script. Even so I came away feeling unsatisfied. Jim Carrey is an excellent actor and he worked with Kate Winslet very well. Its just a shame this movie feels like it has a inferiority complex.

It dwelt on the mind erasure process far to long. I respect that they wanted to relate the romance to memories etc, etc.. but they lost an opportunity to make a great film and ultimately made tosh. This film is as pointless as Lost In Translation.

A visually stunning film that never really gets to grips with its plot. However the performances of the leads are good enough to make one care for the characters we are expected to explore.

At the end of the day a boring film.",5
"..to the old Columbo type detective stories

Entertaining enough though and a nice performance by Ana De Armas.",7
"#Extraction Rating : 6.6/10 Review : The cast list is good enough to make it an excellent block buster but seems the story failed to bind the cast with it. This movie has some of the best camera work. It also has AMAZING fighting choreography! Overall a really, REALLY tight action movie. #Netflix",6
"After a blockbuster as successful as the first, it's easy for sequels to blow it due to over-budgeting and overextension of resources (eg. Martix 2/3). However, Spiderman 2 had nothing wrong with it aside from a few overly cheesy scenes. The character development and set up for the next sequel was perfect, and the plot was well crafted. Although there was two or three subplots that followed along with the Doc Ock story, there was little confusion or jaggedness that came with it. The movie flowed in a forward direction that left nearly nothing to be desired. I'd recommend everyone to see this as it is a fun adventure that follows one of Marvel's greatest characters.",10
"This is by far my most disappointing movie experience in years. Its not really that its that bad. I would probably have given it 7 stars if it wasn't for the unbelievable 9.1 average, which sent me to the theater with such high expectations.

First of all, I have to get this of my chest: ITS NOT THAT ORIGINAL! In 1998 a by-now-forgotten film by the title of Dark City was released, with a strikingly similar premise, but with better writing, a tighter plot and a fraction of the budget of this monstrosity. Do yourself a favor, watch it.

Back to Inception: The casting is good, the performances vary between average to good, and in general they more or less work together. But the characters lack any real depth, the dialog is mediocre and the pervasive pseudo-science conversations are down-right silly.

Visually its stunning, ground-breaking, with more special effects than you could ever wish for, but quite often pointless. The same goes for the action sequences, amazing yes, but often out of place and you can't shake the feeling that they were forced into the plot: OK guys, its been three minutes since something exploded or someone used a grenade launcher, stuff an action scene in here.

Worst of all: the premise of the film is ridiculous but there is nothing that makes it believable. This, I think, is the mark of a great Sci-Fi flick: you completely buy into the premise no matter how ridiculous it is. Inception fails.

Does it have better entertainment value/ is it a better film than:

Shutter Island: No, but comes close/ No, doesn't even come close

District 9: No, D9 is 3 times more fun/ No, God No, in what dreamworld?

Clash of the Titans: Yes/ Yes

The A-Team: About the same/ Yes, its better than The A-Team

Avatar: No/ No

Finally, Dark City: bang-for-buck, Yes/ No, even though Dark City has a weaker cast its still the better movie,",4
The characters make the show very special. Chloe Bennet makes the show so much better because she makes the show enjoyable. One of the greatest superhero shows to date!,8
"I was looking forward to this series, but two episodes in and the cliches just pile on the boredom for me. What also grates me is the use of modern day language in such a setting that is clearly out of place...e.g ' I like they way you used reverse psychology on them....' Really? Sadly I'll not waste my time watching anymore...but if if floats your boat, be my guest...",3
"Just logged in after 3-4 years of inactivity to rate the series with the lowest score possible. Henry Cavill does the job, no doubt about that but, one bird cannot bring Spring.

I've not read Witcher books. Though, played a game for an hour or so, but it was too demanding to invest my time into.

On the first attempt I couldn't make it to the end of the first episode, too flat, simple, predictable, boring. Then I just gave up and watched the season. Essentially it's a show for kids with no intellectual development beyond 9 years of age.

Netflix should either fire a producer or stop filming it.

Netflix, you're trying to repeat the success story of GoT? It's like hoping to win F1 race against Schumacher with a car assembled with Amazon Prime delivery box leftovers and even filling a tank.",1
"Just shows you can get a load of great actors And actresses, throw them into a bucket of scenes, and it still comes out like it's some amateur school attempt at a movie.

I am really baffled by the high reviews here. Me thinks there's an element of ""emperors new clothes"" going on here. The reviews are as laughable as the film 😂",4
"Oh man, the last thing I wanted was to be disappointed with this series but it's a turkey; unworthy of Marvel and Whedon.

What is it with token Brits in TV series nowadays? The accent is wrong and the 'feel' is wrong. The dolly birds with attitude are wrong and feel cheesy and Agent Colson (likeable as hell in his movie appearances and perfect as a sobering element against the backdrop of mayhem) just doesn't fit in with the personalities around him.

Just when they seem to be getting super hero movies right, they drop the ball with the line wide open. I'm going to persevere with it for now but I'm struggling. I'm not sure how Whedon could view the rushes and be satisfied with the finished product. Sorry but it's a thumbs down from me and now I have to get over it if I'm to enjoy the cinematic Marvel offerings.",2
"It's quite a long movie which didn't drag at all. There are legs still in Tarantino and it shows. Pitt is great as is Leo. I'm not going give away spoilers but if you haven't seen yet and you love the directors work, then the ending will make you smile!",5
"6/10

5/10 to the costume setting and the fantastic beasts,

1/10 to the animal lover behavior but not the actor.

I am sorry, but I have to admit I have no chemistry with any characters from this movie.

I never read the book, therefore, I can't judge the original story. But all I watched this movie, the story is boring and plain. I will leave the movie in 20 minutes if there are no CGI processed. It is a movie built on CGI, the story itself is sadly empty.

During this movie, there is only a few magic is needed, more like a magical background setting adventure story for kids. It made me miss Harry Potter, its plots are packed and trilling.

Not so many things to talk about this movie, just some random thoughts below:

First, the bad guys clubs, that supposed to be a very major person from the books according to other reviews I read online; however what I able to recalled from the movie about him are only the beginning newspapers warrant for arrest and the ending's exposure, and there is nothing else about this bad guy's bad history.

Second, illogical love between the pretty younger sister and the no-maj.

Third, Tina, the character just too pale and overacting, when I say pale I am not meaning to her skin, it is about her characteristic less role, simple head less thought and impulsively.

Fourth, trust me the chubby no-man has better acting skills among all. And the main character, mr.nert? I knew he is a good actor, but I just can't find a favor from this character.

Peace out.",6
"I was asked what kind of shows I like, I said, ""gritty, honest, clever, sci-fi or fantasy that exposes what we don't want to see or discuss - With humor, art, and emotion."" He suggested this show, and yes I like it. If you like it, please try The Watchmen, Doom Patrol, Sherlock, and the modern Doctor Who series.",9
"This show is to tv series drama what Bud Light is to Beer. Bad writing, cliched, unconvincing acting, sucky cinematography and set design. Same old tired shallow heroics and enormous plot holes that you could drive an eighteen wheeler through. The ""24 hours"" time thing Is a pointless gimmick and the split screen editing is annoying and pretentious.",2
"This is a good film. If you're from a marginalised community you'll probably love it but if you're not you're painted as the bad guy.

The plot points fit in excellently. the character a very memorable. The acting is A1.

I do recommend it but the woke touch is so annoying and super obvious. I took a couple of stars off it becuse of it. It would have gotten an 8/10 otherwise.",6
"One of the greatest films Cinema has ever produced. A crime drama with top notch direction, acting performances,music,cinematography etc. It shows why Anurag Kashyap is so important for the Indian Cinema.

It can easily compete with Hollywood's classics like Goodfellas and others .

A film with almost no negatives is very rare in Indian cinema.

The film depicts the Coal mafias,the politics,the religious warfares in UP of 90's to 2000s.

The humour is perfect with little dark jokes and masterfully done situational comedy.

Don't you dare to miss this piece of art even if you don't like Bollywood films or Indian films in general.

At the end bow down again to Anurag Kashyap.",10
"This movie has several dazzling special effects. But other than that, what is there to say. Well, mainly....YAWN. Many comedy movies are just sketches strung together with the barest of threads to hold the plot together. Inception does the same thing for action movies, the action sequences are held together with a plot that pretends to be complicated, but in reality is wafer thin and yet full of holes that you could put Incepton's entire budget for special effects into each one of them. Inceptions virtual world does not impress because it is a work of beauty without any connection with dreams at all. Take away the special effects and you are left with substandard, uninspired acting and a boring movie.",2
"Sensitive and funny.

How arts help to transcend the craziness of reality !

From the little boy to the young man, we follow the heart and the eye of the young Sam. Each character from his parents, to his sisters, to Benny, to the eldest grandmothers and uncle offer such a diversity of portraits.

Never condescending, this movie shows how even loving parents can not protect their child from life. It's happening and there is nothing the main character can do except filming it.

I didn't want it to stop. Spielberg by being so vulnerable touches something universal. There is not much that we can control in life except what we create.

What a journey! Thank you.",10
"It seems to me that Stephan chows movies are getting better and better. Kung Fu Hustle is better than Shaolin Soccer in my opinion due to the fact that i'm not much of a soccer fan but Shaolin Soccer had a good story to it. Story-wise, Kung Fu is the typical Chow movie, but in a good way. The CGI was very good at times i couldn't tell the difference between real and fake.

After the movie i was left craving for more of the action scenes from the movie because they looked so damn good, especially the first fight. I might have given it ten stars if it weren't for the fact that the story seemed to have been rushed. A little longer, more action scenes, definitely more chow jokes, and this movie should be more of a hit than it already is.",9
"I honestly liked Wednesday, but it was way too overhyped to me, the actors are amazing and the setting is beautifully scary, but the story line isn't all that much, I felt like I was watching it for the graphics and not the story itself </3. Things like Nevermore was built so well, Jenna's outfit and makeup was amazing, the other characters designs were lovely but I say they could have given more to the stories of them, give them character development, give the movie more then just ""Wednesday tries to find the bad guy and no one believes in her"" cliche, I did enjoy the show when I did watch it so in not throwing it any shade :)",7
"I actually had really high expectations from the movie after watching the trailer, and the movie also started off well. But I don't know why they have portrayed all the women in the film as materialistic cunning characters who are simply using the men in their lives. Be it Fatima, Sanya, Asha or the nurse girl, all of their characters are shown as selfish with the guys portrayed as emotional fools. The only women who were strong or positive were the little girl and the head nurse. I had high hopes from a director like Anurag Basu but it seems people just can't seem to get the notion of equality or feminism right.",5
The reviews were so good for this movie. I don't understand why. All the characters seemed so shallow and devoid of any meaningful character. They all seemed like empty stereotypes. A real letdown.,3
"I watched A Beautiful Mind a few hours ago. I hand it to Ron Howard and his producers for assembling a great cast. But this movie is nothing new in many ways. It is a wonderfully crafted love story, expertly technical but methodically predictable.

Some evidence that the film is derivative were the special effects used to reveal Nash's observations of pattern and code. Numbers light up off of pages of text. Similar effects were used in Jody Foster's movie Little Man Tate, at least ten years ago, when Foster's character's son ""sees"" mathematical equations in a highlighted neon light fashion. It is helpful for the viewer to see what the character does in both films, though not new now.

Crew note: remove the marks for wide shots. I saw a taped ""T"" on the floor in the Princeton tea room foyer. Judd Hirsch as Einstein tells Nash that he won't receive the Wheeler recommendation, then the camera pulls out and Nash exits walking backward. As the shot widens there you will see the taped ""T"" marks on the floor where Hirsch and Crowe were standing.

I grew up near West Virginia. I've visited and stayed in West Virginia and had friends from West Virginia. Crowe's West Virginia accent was not heavy enough to cover his Australian.

Jennifer Connelly looked fantastic and her acting was ineffectual. Let me compare: Both women in Mulholland Drive showed much more depth and range than Connelly's Alicia Nash. They did things, and caused things to happen. Alicia Nash does not cause anything to happen, and that may be a flaw of the screenplay. I can read into it that Alicia helps John to understand love to be a real thing, as real as the universe is infinitely large. But don't read to far. A second thought though, the only thing that could stand up to Crowe's presence and stature, since he's won the Oscars and the Golden Globes, is Connelly's stunning beauty. No current A list actress could act in such a simple fashion and be so captivating at the same time.

The script and some of the actions were predictable. For example the over used ""throw the glass at the mirror,"" when Connelly used it to exhibit emotion after being rejected by an over medicated John in bed. Take Harris's posturing in Nash's office as evidence of Greek Tragedy style acting. Harris holds open his jacket by resting his hands on his hips, thereby exposing an ominous pistol in a shoulder holster. It is a menacing stance, but it is almost a stereotypical threat by someone with a gun that we've seen many times before.

A Dr. Seus book is used as a prop, held by a young character. Maybe Howard is reminding us that he directed that live action Seuss movie. And more on the subject of Howard recycling from his past, a host of Howard's family worked on A Beautiful Mind, see film credits, as well as Harris appearing in Apollo 13 directed by Howard.

Thanks to James Horner's stirring cello music for pulling my heart strings, yes, I cried. When you see that A Beautiful Mind is truly about love, like I did, you'll cry too. Forgive me, I fall for the emotional manipulation tactics every time a cello plays! I am a sucker for a good movie. And though it may be nothing new, A Beautiful Mind is a very good movie.",6
The movie was hyped so much being produced by russo brothers but it is so disappointing and dumb. It neither impresses with action nor with it's story. 6 underground was way too better than this one as i enjoyed its action and humor in between. But this one is dull and fails to develope bit of interest.,5
"Things that are good about this show:
sci fi
the 80s setting, as much as the 80s were terrible I love all the toys, the cars , the hair and the proper names.


well written yet slightly cringey dialog between the children
David harbour
Winona rider
the monster designs


Bad things:


The seasons are varied, the first season was a great bit of weirdness, season 2 was not as good, season 3 picked up a bit, season 4 was worse and ended on a cliff hanger clearly as part one of the two parted finale. If you ask me that's just squeezing money out of an empty tooth paste tube.

Overall enjoyable. I like Millie Bobby brown, David harbour and Winona rider so the main leads have big ticks from me. It is slightly dark but still very safe. Could be a lot more twisted and different.

8.0/10 from me.",7

"Having viewed five episodes of this 11 episode series, I am a rather disappointed audience member, if not a little bored. However, it would be mistaken to imply this new outing of Game of Throne is boring, overall, but sadly there is something across the storyline and premise which are nowhere near as compelling as the original. I feel this is true of numerous characters, plotlines and premise. They just do not deliver. Essentially, this storyline revolves around the politics of succession to the throne. Unsurprisingly, then, the story remains rooted in politics and political subtleties, intrigues, which do not transalte that well on screen. The cinematogrphy, casting and acting are strong, overall, but the premise and writing, possibly the directors and producers, also, seem to look to realise a vision which remains orphaned from the original's gripping excitement and interpersonal drama.

Further, I am surprised at the constantly highly regarded ratings assigned to numerous episodes which, to me are necessarily worthy of such recognition. I will not say more here, but the phrase ratings manipulation does come to mind. I can only hope the remaining episodes do produce content worthy of high ratings.",7
Robert Downey Jr said see Oppenheimer in IMAX so I did. It cost extra to see it in IMAX so probably just a way for Nolan to make more money. Because it was not worth it. I was in row H and I kept walking up and up the stairs and it was the very top row. So I don't feel I got any benefit of seeing it in IMAX as I was that far away from the screen. The movie itself: so extremely boring. What was the point of it? To show how Oppenheimer was persecuted in the 50s over Communism? Who wasn't? Big deal. I could not wait for it to be over. It was hard to follow what was going on with so many characters. It took a lot of concentration to follow what was going on and all we wanted to see was the explosion. The only plus of this movie was seeing what was under those taped spots on the test bomb (and I'm not telling because that was the only interesting part of this movie). What a waste of 3 hours. Read all about it on Wikipedia and save your money. It's not worth it. But I am sure it will win lots of Oscar's. The boring movies always do.,2
"If you can get past the obligatory appeasement of the alphabet mafia in the first 5 minutes of the film without gagging, then you will have a fun time. It's not as good as the first, but it's a typical MCU movie in the fact that the CGI is good, and there's a fair amount of action. Story is really rather 'meh', and the running time thankfully isn't all that long. Don't spend your money in the theatre.",5
"I have seen all movies in the series. I should of stopped watching after the extremely boring Half Blood Prince. The Deathly Hollow made no sense once so ever. Half way through the movie I stopped caring about what was going to happen next. I have seen thousands of movies and never have I seen a movie that I could not make sense out of like this one. It was just one random scene to the next, never explaining anything. Forgive me, this is my first review. For the first time I feel it necessary to tell someone how bad this movie is. There is no way that I am going to see the conclusion. No even if it was free. Please don't waste your time and money on this one.",2
"My 15 tear-old son and I decided to watch this film last night as neither of us had seen it before. I didn't have high expectations but I was really dissapointed. Overall it was just so flat. From the script to the music, direction, editing, lighting, and pacing. I'm not sure where to start but I guess the script would make sense. It's so boring. It's full of dull conversations between one-dimensional characters. Peter Parker is a bit of a jerk and almost every one he encounters is even worse. They are so badly written that I didn't feel anything for anyone. None of them seemed like real people. And it moves so slowly that my son and I were losing interest minutes into the film. And people's actions don't make sense. For instance, he stops a bad guy from beating up a woman in an alley. Then, for some reason, a whole bunch of bad guys start chasing him. They chase him over fences and onto rooftops. Really? Why? Do bad guys have such a strong bro code that they will push themselves to the limit and risk their lives just because some kid beat up some other bad guy? It doesn't make sense. Then the film spends so much time on Peter's emotional relationship with his uncle and aunty. Who cares? It's a frickin' superhero movie. It was about 90 minutes before he even put on the suit. And he's suddenly a master tailor? I couldn't make that suit in a year with all the resources in the world. It's okay to be unrealistic in a superhero movie if it's a superhero movie. This was trying to be genuine and realistic but it was also silly. I have to mention the cinematography. It was so dull and static. Again, it's a superhero/comic book movie. Don't shoot everything in static mid-shots. Use dramatic angles and lighting. There were some important conversations in the first half but they were shot and edited exactly the same as the non-important ones. It just all felt so flat. I could go on but I'll just say we tried watching the whole thing but my son asked if we could stop it halfway through.",2
"Strong story line with great character development. You can tell makers have given everything they can offer.

Animation is very beautiful and look great when bending has performed.

Also love how supporting characters have given important place in the story, they didn't just make Avatar did all the work.

Also show have a very good writer team.

Meaningful message with a lot of dialogues specially from uncle Iroh.

Can't believe a show which can be loved by Anime and cartoon lovers together.

Another great thing about this show is perfect ending, no guilt that something is missing.

Ofcourse except what happened to Zuko's mother (you can the comics to know what actually happened).",10
"""Most of the intelligence community doesn't believe he exists. The ones that do call him the Winter Soldier. He's a ghost, you'll never find him.""

The film opens with an action sequence in a freighter that made me worry I was going to be let down as I was with the first Captain America. Out of all the Marvel films the first Captain America film was my least favorite. This sequel opened with some shaky camera work and quick editing cuts, but once the story began to get going I was pleasantly surprised. This is very different from the rest of the Marvel films that relied heavily on CGI and light storytelling, The Winter Soldier is a bit more serious and tells an interesting story. At times you forget you are watching a superhero movie and it turns into an interesting espionage thriller. Even Captain America became much more interesting in this film and I'm sure fans will appreciate this sequel directed by Joe and Anthony Russo (You, Me and Dupree) much more than they did the first. Not only is this the best Captain America film, it also is the best film of Phase 2 (post The Avengers) for Marvel. The story is really entertaining and gripping, the film also looks really good considering it has much more live action scenes than CGI. After the disappointing opening sequence, the rest of the action scenes completely worked and they managed to keep me invested in what was going on. Sure the twists were a bit predictable, but the story was really well developed and the framework for the next sequel has been set. The new characters in this film also added a lot more to this franchise and I really enjoyed the pacing of this movie. This sequel delivered thanks to a gripping and suspenseful story and well developed characters.

Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely teamed up again for the adaptation of this sequel which takes place some time after the events of The Avengers. Captain America (Chris Evans) is now in Washington DC as he continues struggling to adjust to the present while working for SHIELD under the guidance of Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson). It's a different world now and Captain America realizes that there are enemies disguised as friends even inside SHIELD headquarters. With very few people he can trust, Captain America teams up with Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) to try to expose the conspiracy and traitors in the department before the world is attacked yet again. As they begin to dig deeper, a professional assassin known as the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) is sent to stop them. Knowing that they can't expose the conspiracy on their own, Captain America finds an ally in Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), a veteran who knows where Steve is coming from. He becomes the Falcon and together they begin to expose the corruption in SHIELD.

Chris Evans is comfortable yet again playing one of the most beloved comic book superheroes. Captain America might be the simplest of the heroes from the Marvel films, but he doesn't negotiate his values and is true to his word. Someone with his morals is hard to come across with in the present and that is why he finds it so difficult to establish meaningful relationships. Scarlett Johansson is great once again as the Black Widow and it's always great to see her fighting off the bad guys. As for the new characters I really enjoyed Anthony Mackie's performance as the Falcon. He really has great chemistry with Chris Evans and both their characters have similar values. Mackie also delivers some of the funniest lines in the movie in an otherwise pretty serious thriller. Sebastian Stan is also impressive as the Winter Soldier. His character is very interesting although I think he did try a little to hard at times to look cool. His posture and attitude reminded me of a rock star, but I still enjoyed his character very much and though he was a great addition to this film. Like the other Marvel films, you should stay for the credits as there are two short but interesting scenes. This was a huge upgrade for Captain America and it is my favorite film of 2014 so far. The climax is formulaic and we know what we are going to get, but the journey getting there is what made this film such a wonderful experience for me. This film actually had some interesting character development and it wasn't just an excuse to run from one incoherent and noisy action scene to the next like some other recent superhero films.",8
It needed a tighter storyline which was more engaging.,3
"'Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood' is acclaimed director Quentin Tarantino's 9th film and one that surely will be closely observed by critics. As anticipated as any Tarantino film can be, does this one live up to the hype?

1. Set in 1969 Los Angeles, the story involves fading actor Rick Dalton (DiCaprio) and his stunt-double/close friend Cliff Booth (Pitt) as they try to salvage some acclaim in Hollywood within their twilight years in the industry. Firstly, as simple as that plot may sound, a film like this takes many turns and (as with most Tarantino films) stories converge. Personally, I expected intertwining story-lines but not such a dull script. With a run-time of 2hrs 41mins, this film could easily have lost 60-45mins as it is plagued with tons of unnecessary and dragging scenes. I don't mind lengthy films, but the biggest crime a lengthy feature can make is to be boring. Capturing the audiences' attention should be first priority.

2. The chemistry between DiCaprio and Pitt is no doubt the best part of this film. It's about time these two have worked together and they both do their best to keep you invested in their slice of the story. On the other hand, Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate is completely useless to say the least. Her character is there for no reason at all and contributes absolutely nothing to the overall plot. Her scenes should have been cut from the final theatrical version entirely. Many other A-list actors make cameos throughout but are in no way outstanding judging by performances. No disrespect to the late Luke Perry, but anyone could have played his part as he utterly insignificant in his short role.

3. This film succeeds a lot more when it shifts gere into comedy and focuses on DiCaprio and Pitt. The secondary plot (as shown in the trailers) involves the 'Manson Family', which leads to a rather entertaining and funny climax, but actual events are in no way depicted as they were in real life regarding the infamous cult and its leader Charles Manson. The script just didn't seem to quite find its voice or direction. The editing needed to be tighter, and again, a lot of scenes should have been left on the cutting-room floor. One film I really admire with a similar tone is 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' (2005) which is probably a better and more entertaining film than this. I found myself hard to stay invested in the story and was suffering from cinematic fatigue by the time it was over.

'Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood' is a clear definition of an overly ambitious film that aimed high but hit low. I'm an admirer of many of Tarantino's works, but this certainly isn't a film I'd wanna watch again in theaters or even on television.",3
"I love the books, the books are FANTASTIC! The show? Such a disappointment. I'm watching S3 right now and they left out MASSIVE chunks of the story. Its all so rushed. Each season needed to be twice as long to truly do it justice, as well as needed to actually follow the book more. There's so many things missing and glossed over and just done...wrong. So much potential and this is what they did with it.",2
"This cult classic was nominated for seven Oscars, winning two.

The story is told in two parts. The first is about a car salesman who seems to have a compulsion to win, at any cost, no matter how large or small the stakes. Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) is terrific in this part, capturing his contrasting moods of an emotionless exploiter and a manic paranoid. The second part centers on a mild-mannered police detective named Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand) with an aw-shucks brand of personality that hides an analytical mind.

The film is certainly quirky. Like Tarantino meets Monk. Accordingly, there is a thread of humor, but this is a black comedy of errors, and it is definitely not for everyone. But it is filmed well and the acting is genre-appropriate, making it very watchable.",8
"I don't know what everybody's talking about giving this positive reviews this is one of the dumbest worst written worst acted worst dialogue movies I've ever seen in my life it's giving Transformers 4 a run for its money.

The actors literally take turns line by line explaining every moment and storyline of the plot. Each taking their turn to add something to the dialogue instead of just talking in a full sentence or having a normal conversation, it's infuriating.

Every single moment of the plot is described in dialogue right before it happens or sometimes write while it's happening it's unbelievable.

I liked every single Mission Impossible movie up until this one I don't know what they changed I don't know if it's the same director but this is utter nonsense

And as bad as the plot being spoon-fed to you is it's nothing compared to the actual plot itself. Unbelievably stupid an entity is the bad guy

I seriously think this was written by a scab during the writer strike even though I know it was out before then.

I gave it two stars instead of one because I like the girl from Guardians of the Galaxy.",2
"This is a horrible show that doesn't respect the true reason of life and the wonderful school of Adam and Eve.

The fact that it portrays angles as sinners or supports the fact that disobedient is path that an angle could partake in is incorrect and disrespectful.

Angles are like rain drops travel in one direction. The direction of autonomous worship and absolute obedience. They guid and manage many things and our freewill contributes to their standard deviation however ALLAH design will always prevail no matter what any creation chooses. #humans #angles #Jinn

In the end I would like to say that disrespecting religion is not entertaining.",1
"After the horrible ep 3, I had to go start watching GOT again to wash my brain out. Starts at the Wall, one of the many non-human, mostly mysterious characters which made it so good, that HOTD doesn't have, not one. Winter, White Walkers, dragons (unseen for so long), the Wildlings. And the Houses, oh the Houses, each one a little series in itself with wonderful characters. And Sean Bean to open (great chemistry with King Robert). The producers gave the actors what they needed to craft amazing characters. Plus they were amazing actors. Each scene was rich and full of people. HOTD seems like one small soap opera scene to another. Lonely. And mostly terrible acting. The poor little princess rich girl thing has been done, and better. If I hear about ""his heir"" one more time... Just lazy writing and we get it, already!

In GOT, the women, the brown, and the downtrodden just took their power, no messing around. And the diverse characters were some of the best, because they had the richest stories. Not just handsome blond princes and princesses. While there were some cringey medieval moments, it was, after all... medieval. The Black lord of HOTD is one of the few good actors and compelling characters in the series so far. I guess people who complain about diversity can't hear how awful they sound. And who justify such bigoted complaints with ""source material"". If we stuck faithfully to ""source material"", we'd still be watching 1950s shows.

Anyway, I don't think there's any way to elevate HOTD, things are set, at least for the 1st season. Even the last miserable season of GOT was better. But people so want to relive GOT that they elevate this POS, but just remember that HOTD is to GOT as The Hobbit movies were to LOTR. A pale imitation. Speaking of LOTR, we have the exact same situation as HOTD going on as I write... With predictable results.",1
"Barbie was a fun movie and it visually looked really original. There were some really funny parts and some good acting. I loved some of the throwbacks and songs. Really was laughing at some of the funny moments.

The story and pacing was a little off and uneven for me. Couple of the characters felt a little flat to me, but overall it was a well made movie. Some of the songs were really great and the camera work was really good as well. I wish the story felt a little more connected overall. The tone really shifted around a bunch of times and it got a bit distracting. A movie can be funny and serious.. but it just didn't seem to know what tone it wanted to be and was a bit conflicting to me. Overall still enjoyed myself.",6
"A fantastic concept, good humour and interesting characters kicked off this series well. However after a few episodes the drama, intrigue, tension and humour started to wane. The writer's appeared to get lazy as if they were relying on the original hook to force viewers to continue to watch through to the end.",6
"A perfect mixture of direction and story!!The movie resembles the standard, Indian cinemas have achieved in the past years.A perfect blend of acting and direction taken to a whole new level!!#mustwatch",10
"Iron Man 2 follows a downside line, which nobody expected. In this episode, we get to see a lame screenplay, and maybe the main idea was right, but it was poorly performed. Mickey Rourke does a terrible job as a villain, but to be honest, his character was also terrible written. The rest is just a lame Iron Man(again, because of the writers), and we don't even get to see a decent fight. It's a shame the sequel of an amazing movie becomes a black spot.",4
"I knew Barbie would be lame movie, but I didn't exepct to be sooooo lame!!!! I went to see it just for the sake that this is the first movie of a kind and I thought there will be some valuable content somehow, but this was such a waste of time. Dont waste your time and money to see this move, its not worth it! Such a dissapointment from Margot Robi and Ryan Gosling to star in something this stupid and shlallow. They could've make something better with the story and the acting, this was amateur level completely. The scenery in Barbieland was nive though, I beleive every girl will see something she owned when she was little. Not recommended!!!",1
"My very first review on IMDB. Honestly the world needed season one and two, it was brave, real and raw. I even think three and four had some very powerful messages. However, season 4 nearly hurt physically to watch. It was just too much, perhaps of everything, powerful moments dragged on and on like a soap opera. I do believe they could have written this last season so much better. It felt like the lessons were forced. In saying all this, the acting is superb and man did I cry like a little baby often. There is so much pain in this world and some important bits were brought to light.",7
"Dark, subversive and unreasonably gripping. Karl Urban delivers the only false notes in any one of a host of butchered accents. The soundtrack too can be too noticeable and try-hard at times. But thankfully, the rest of the cast are all crackers and the tempo and visuals are great. All in all, near perfect grown-up escapism. Loved it.",8
"For a long time before I decided to start watching 'Modern Family' I've been having doubts about quality and originality of the show. Now I'm in season 7 and I can not get enough of it. The story is easy to follow so you can just sit back and enjoy. When I'm having a break doing work I just put on an episode and it takes my mind off.

The thing I was most surprised about after seeing it was the variety of characters. There's a conventional family with three kids. The wife Claire Dunphy is a control and organization freak but she has hers funny outbursts. Husband Phil comes off a bit childlike, always trying to be 'the cool dad', but he also brings the family together and shares valuable life lessons. The oldest daughter Haley is a popular, party girl and her younger sister Alex is very competitive, nerdy girl. Their youngest child Luke is a lot like his dad and they always do funny, odd stuff together.

Claire's father Jay Pritchett makes another family in the show. He remarried a Colombian wife Gloria and took her and her son Manny in. She is very beautiful and also younger than his daughter so people always assume she married him out of interest, but we are soon proved wrong.

Jay's second child, Claire's brother Mitchell, is gay and in a long relationship with his partner Cameron with whom he adopted a Vietnamese baby girl Lily.

When the whole family gets together, there's no way escaping drama and that's the case in almost every episode. It's a great comedy source but it can get a little too familiar from time to time, so that's why I rated it 8 out of 10.

With everything in count, it's still one of the best shows in its genre and I would definitely recommend it.",8
"Episodes 4 and 5 of House of the Dragon were outstanding; I was fully engaged with the tension between Rhaenyra and Daemon and Viserys and Alicent. By comparison, Episode 6 was a confusing letdown diminishing the significance of previous episodes. Set 10 years later, the actors playing Rhaenyra and Alicent were completely different, and IMO were no where near as compelling. The story also left unanswered what happened to Viserys after Episode 5 when he looked Iike he might be dead. And Daemon, who emerged from Episode 4 as a kick ass player, was neutered in this episode.

Perhaps, the most disappointing development is with Rhaenyra's character. In previous episodes I was engaged with her. I felt the conflicts in her choices. She was the protagonist of the series. In this episode, she become as unlikeable as the rest of them.

Overall, this episode has got me wondering if I want to continue watching the series. GOT was a tour de force. HOTD, until this point, was showing the same promise, but after this latest episode was a letdown.",3
"I am truly not sure yet, but then anyone who uses the first episode of any show as their basis for review is just blowing smoke. This episode is setting up the rest of the show. Owen Wilson is a great addition as is B-15 and the judge! And don't forget the gate keeper. I am hoping to be able to raise the rating in the next few weeks. Just the thought of Loki having to sign off on all his comments is hilarious.",8
"If you still focus on the dispute of skin color, such as sympathy for black people, watching this movie is almost meaningless. In fact, it is about the relationship between human behavior and social system. Most of the time, the protagonist is in a state of helplessness and incompetence.",8
I already had a prejudice against the film which i broke before watching but ong. Such a lame and unnecessaey film. WhAts so amazing about it. I hate every min o it.,4
"Set two decades after the catastrophic event known as ""the fall,"" in which the collapse of electronic infrastructure triggered widespread chaos and societal breakdown, the narrative unfolds in a world where cities have isolated themselves behind fortified walls, functioning as autonomous city-states. Meanwhile, those outside the city walls engage in constant battles for control over resources and territories. Facilitating the transport of essential goods between these isolated cities are daring ""Milkmen"" drivers who navigate treacherous roads, fending off scavengers and marauding gangs. Our focus centers on one such Milkman, an individual suffering from amnesia, identified as John Doe (portrayed by Anthony Mackie). A transformative opportunity arises when Raven (Neve Campbell), the Chief Operating Officer of New San Francisco, offers John the chance to secure citizenship in her city. The task is clear: retrieve a crucial package from New Chicago and deliver it within a strict 10-day timeframe. As John embarks on this journey towards the east, his path unexpectedly intersects with Quiet (Stephanie Beatriz), a wanderer driven by a thirst for revenge after her brother's tragic demise by the hands of a self-appointed enforcer named Agent Stone (Thomas Haden Church).

""Twisted Metal"" emerges as a screen adaptation of the renowned Sony Playstation game series that shares its title. Debuting in 1995 and continuing until its most recent significant release in 2012, this gaming franchise is now brought to life under the aegis of Sony's Playstation Productions. This venture marks the third successful adaptation following the Uncharted film and The Last of Us TV series. Translating the essence of the game, the series remains true to the extravagantly frenetic action inherent to ""Twisted Metal,"" effortlessly channeling the premise into a breathless, adrenaline-pumping, post-apocalyptic escapade.

The on-screen chemistry between Anthony Mackie's John Doe and Stephanie Beatriz's Quiet is undeniably solid. Their dynamic journey, oscillating between antagonism, convenient partnership, and rekindled discord, is deftly portrayed without ever growing tiresome. Despite the initial abrasiveness of Quiet's character, her evolution is skillfully managed in the early episodes. Both characters serve as relatable anchors in the midst of the chaotic world they inhabit, allowing the lunacy around them to be showcased more vividly. The series excels in its inclusion of other characters, intricately weaving them into the narrative. Memorable personas such as Preacher, Granny Dread, Agent Stone, and Sweet Tooth are presented in unique and entertaining scenarios. A standout is Sweet Tooth, masterfully brought to life by Samoa Joe's physical presence and Will Arnett's voice acting, creating a compelling insane clown character that distinguishes itself within the realm of such archetypes, offering a blend of impeccable comedic timing and disturbingly intense violence.

""Twisted Metal"" starkly contrasts the tone of ""The Last of Us."" This series revels in audacious and irreverent storytelling, reminiscent of a blend between ""Shoot 'em Up"" and ""Hell Comes to Frogtown."" The show constructs a world brimming with morbid humor and unapologetic violence, crafting a distinct atmosphere of lunacy and brutality. While my familiarity with the source material is not extensive, I surmise that devoted fans will discover much to savor in this presentation, eagerly anticipating the promised second season with zeal.",7
"This show has been well written, acted, directed and produced. Great pace. Overall well worth watching. Hopefully there will be more seasons.",9
"Talking about suicide in a way that honors it is horrible. Blaming people for suicide is also terrible. All people, specifically teens and high school students need to understand that you make your own reality, other people don't. Whether your life is super challenging or super great, there is always a reason to live - I know this from the super challenging end. This should not be available to people of all ages who could be struggling and wondering if they should take their life. This TV show promotes suicide. BAD. Please take this off!!",1
"If you look at the story line, it's very plain and simple story and offers nothing new. Positive review are very much politically motivated and comes from specific community. It's merely a one time watch movie but Chadwick is the star of the movie.",4
"Overall its a relaxed, cool movie with subtle comedy. Is a good depiction of what not to do when a girl dumps you. I had few laughs here and there and overall its a nice chilled movie to play on the background when you are spending time with your friends or partner with some popcorn on your lap.

The only thing I didn't like was unnecessary nudity. There are movie scenes where nudity is important. It changes the tone of the whole scene and makes it memorable. The scene won't be perfect if the actors were not naked.

On the other end there are scenes were audience can say the director read the script and made notes """" add nude here"" and ""here"" and ""here"" for no apparent reasons. Personally, that's what I felt about those scenes.

Overall, if you wanna watch it alone, its a good one time watch and you can save it in your collection to pop it back up if you are having a party and want the TV on.",7
"This show could be great, but the act and the drama make it cheap. Everyday drama in space just looks so dumb. Also the inappropriate jokes in sublime moments add to that. Same as the latest star trek crap or the independence day. Pity for the nice fx. With a good director this could be good - it had potential.",5
"having a ""24 addicted"" flatmate had been kind of a hard time for me. the show had been broadcast on German cable TV and i had not been interested in what as i thought had only been a big hype, especially interrupted by commercials. having learned more about in university, my flatmate got the first DVD to confirm the teacher's opinion. he was lost. i could resist. for a long time. but this is over now. i'm a fan of suspense thriller. i did not believe in the possibility of a TV series being of such a high quality. the acting is brilliant, everybody's in the right place. the visuals really did set a new standard on what TV can be about. and last but not least the stories. a multitude of plots appear out of nowhere, cliffhangers spread out at least every 7 minutes, plot twist come up when you least expect them, and they work. the soundtrack works formidable. i've seen seasons 1 - 4 now; 5 is not available here yet. (i'm kind of jealous. maybe i should move to us soil.) a must see, but start from the beginning. the less you know, the more you'll enjoy.",10
"Story was amazing as we can see different timelines and different realities through multiverse concept which is brilliantly good. Actors, story timelines, music, action sequences all are amazing as we can expect. But I think it's little bit late to release this series concept because we already knew what will be the storyline and it's never gonna change but otherwise it's ok to see the vast reality through different perspectives. Captain Carter is the main highlight of the show. I believe that marvel will bring captain carter back if possible.",7
"Not really a spoiler, but I will put a spoiler warning on here just in case. First half of the movie is excellent, suspenseful and ultra realistic. The second half however goes a bit too far and loses its realism and the suspense takes a hit as a result. The film is most suspenseful when things are in the realm of possibility, but after one too many death defying feats one after the next you begin to realize you are just watching a movie and the suspension of disbelief is destroyed for the more avid/sophisticated viewer. I know, I know, I sound like a total film snob, but I think directors try to do too much to create suspense and they end up having the adverse effect by going a bit overboard.",7
"Update ***

After watching the full series I have to give this an underwhelming 6 out if 10.

There were some moments when I thought it was going to get interesting but after the passing of many years and a cast change it was just more of the same family bickering from unlikeable people.

I think from about Ep6 i just started losing interest plus as I know how it all ends they made the journey rather dull.

Update ***

I like everyone else have only seen Ep1, it starts ok introducing some historical context. The problem with this introduction is it seems to have spelled out the entire story.

Kings landing looks like GoT Kings Landing but more plastic, highly saturated colours which tend to be a result of Green Screen. Armour again looking plasticated, the Targaryen hair looked off as well.

Aesthetically it doesnt look as real or gritty like GoT.

The story so far was an introduction to the main characters but while looking at who is in play it kind of looks predictable.

Obviously ill have to wait for a few more episodes to see how things develop but right now Im just not sure there is enough meat to the storyline.

Another point to make is that here we follow one area of Westeros which is Kings Landing.

In GoT in the first episode we got to see many different locations.

Paddy Considine is a bit wasted as a broken man, his leadership appears weak. Matt Smith is interesting as his brother/antagonist.

Rhys Ifans is fairly stiff throughout with not too much to do except to look a bit underhand and dodgy.

The rest of the cast are fine the princess isnt bad but i know there is another actress playing an older version of her at some point ( not sure why ).

It all feels like a GoT homage dressed up as a prequel, I hope they find somewhere interesting to take this rather than where it looks most likely to be heading.

Can only wait and see....",6
"This film completely fails to depict the enormity of the Dunkirk evacuation. A few ships, a few planes, and a few hundred soldiers. That's it?

In reality over 40 destroyers and hundreds of small boats rescued more than 300,000 trapped British troops.in 8 days, Tons of equipment was abandened. The soldiers were bombed and strafed waiting on the beach while a ferocious air battle between the RAF and the Luftwaffe was taking place.

What did Christopher Nolan do with the reported 100 million dollar budget?

If you don't know anything about the battle of Dunkirk you may enjoy this film, but if you do know something about this monumental evacuation - you will be sorely disappointed.",3
"AND the right amount of dramatization, keeping it real as much as possible and still interesting to draw audience. The last episode really wraps up the whole series perfectly. I can understand what's going on inside Holme's head, but at the same time, 'The Dropout' does not provide any excuse for her fraud and harm on people's health issues. The first time Holmes ever expresses her feelings is portrayed at the last episode, and the result is anger and indignation. The show vividly describes Holmes' long-standing and probably solid belief that she is not guilty of hurting innocent people's lives and that she is the victim of masohicstic entrepreneur environment and government who cannot keep up with her innovative idea. The fall of Elizabeth Holmes reconnects to her tragic experience when she was in college. The reaction at that time and how she dealt with the matter contribute to her future purposeful ignorance and flight from any problem. Going back to the starting point to figure out the source of the problem is a great ending.",8
"is to fast to said that is the best movie there are 4 movies that did not come out yet, but is very correct to said that this is the best marvel movie to the date, it mix all the drama, action, and fun in a perfect way, sadly marvel still can't figure out what to do with the villains of their movies, but i think it was necessary, to give more importance to the story between Cap and Iron man, unexpected twists, and the principal plot to drop tears, anyway for me this was close to perfection, with a few exaggerated things in the action but overshadowed by the awesome direction and storytelling of the Russo Brothers, there are some times that the shaky cam takes you out but it was very little, so for me awesome movie, awesome acting, great effects, spider-man is the best to the date, Black panther (T'chala) perfect match to all the bright avengers, is a must see movie, you can 't miss it in theaters. AWESOME!!!!",9
"The second part of « the Godfather » is also wonderfully played with a lot of emotions and a full suspense until the end of the film, which makes also this film a very great one. I really appreciated that film, even if perhaps a bit less than the first part that I saw one week before. Why ? Not because of Vito's youth which is really useful for appreciating the Godfather - part I. This part really enlightens the first film and allows to understand many things untold in the previous one, especially the section in Sicily. But, may be compared to his father - and the parallel between the story of Vito and that of Michael along the film helps the comparison - Michael appears too hard, much more harder and less nice than we could have guessed from the first part. I also dislike and find strange, as a woman, some of Kay behaviors. Except that I wouldn't have written exactly the same story for those two characters at some point, it doesn't remove the excellent play from both actors and the excellence of the rest of the film.",9
"I love Dr Strange. I didn't like this movie. It's funny I can't put my finger on one or two things..it just wasn't enjoyable. I wasn't invested in the characters, the plot was a terrifying mess and way too much CGI. I'm getting bored with super hero movies especially these of late.",3
"Very good film. Awesome story and connection. Abhishek, Pankaj, Rajkumar were super great. Female leads were also very supporting.",10
This show is just trying to be Breaking Bad!! The storyline is not same but the format of the show is same! Be original or don't do it at all! The scenes before intro and the ending of each episode is just like Breaking Bad!! Such a wannabes!!!!,1

Its amazing how i can come back every time to each skit and still enjoy it like it was the first time.

These guys are pure Guinness and you an see it all of the time.

They just make every situation so complex and amazingly funny.

You can just see the chemistry between them and every other actor they bring in.

Every body just delivers every time.

I hope they know how good and iconic moments and catch phrases they created just being themselves and making fun of life.

It was sad to see it ending but at least we get to see them in other things now.",10
"Surprisingly good series.

Its so well written, so engaging, despite most of the cast being old people.

Selena just goes around spitting fire with an everchanging wardrobe. She carrys most of the series.

Has actual comedy in it, most of it is so sharp and brutal yet hilarious. Especially selena gomez, she is the hotness.

The series is more dramatic and theatrical, rather than being realistic and serious.

Steven martin and martin short also play amazing characters and deliver an amazing performance, however selena gomez is the hotness.

Its funny, its sharp, its dramatic, but all in the best ways.",8
"Ive heard it gets better, but I honestly couldn't get thru the 1st two episodes. The so-called comedy was flat, and anything resembling a plot has yet to develop.

Wasted an hr of my time. Perhaps if I have time to utterly waste I'll get further along.

This doesn't resemble Marvel in any way shape or form. Huge disappointment.",2

"This movie was hailed as the movie of the year, but I don't think it was even one of the top 5 of the summer, or even the best sequel. Shrek 2, Bourne Supremacy, Napoleon Dynamite, Harold and Kumar, Dodgeball, and Anchorman were all far better. Spiderman 2 was a drama, which might have worked except that the leads, Tobey Mguire and Kirsten Dunst completely mailed in their performances. Mguire seriously looked high the entire time (I would know). The two best actors were Franco and Molina, and their roles were minimalized by the fact that this was not an action movie. The special effects were excellent, but again they were rarely used because of the lack of fight scenes.3 stars out of ten, and those were only for Franco and Molina.",3
"I've often thought that the genre mix of comedy - thriller is the most difficult to bring off. Somehow the two different kinds of reality, in their extremes, don't mix easily, unless the very nature of the narrative demands it, as in Dr Strangelove.

The comic first half is somewhat slow, and deals with the infiltration of a wealthy but naïve family, by a streetwise poor one. However, when the action develops along more serious lines in the second half, the atmosphere created in the first half still carries a surreal edge, and so I couldn't believe in the subsequent action sufficiently to be thrilled or horrified.

A brave attempt, but in the end I was left feeling a bit numb. It all seemed to lack any solid centre, with serious themes looking trivial, and comic themes looking disturbing rather than entertaining. All a bit tasteless, really.",6
"The first season of the show was actually extraordinary and was probably the only reason it was my favorite show of all time.The show was based on a book however, only the first season was from an author directly meaning the second season wasn't actually as good as the first and couldn't possibly be.The show did have some content in it that was kind of haunting in the second season and things didn't even make since and didn't add up half the time (if you wanna hear what it is read the other reviews) The second season was pointless and stupid but it will also make you feel so much for something so stupid.13 Reasons Why S2 will make you laugh,smile,cry and sob throughout the episodes and might even make you wanna rewatch it.The thing is though not all people like it but reviews are just opinions and my opinion is that it's not for everyone,you chose and you decide.",8

"I thought that this was going to be suspenseful and tense Glass Onion type movie, but it just falls into extremely stupid territory. The beginning of the movie was strong as it developed an aura of mystery and intrigue... but then as soon as the characters begin settle in as dining guests, they become instantly pathetic, lifeless, and dumb. I was expecting a clever plot twists to explain why they are acting the way they are, but none to be had. They just become literal zombies who want to die after their secrets are revealed. Pointless murder drama. Attempts to be artistically cinematic but to no cause. Why do these movies get all the attention? There's literally nothing to it. I'm only giving it a 3 because the beginning was good.",3
Just because this is an action movie doesn't mean its plot is able to be that bad. So upset,2
"I watch the movie after hearing all the Oscar buzz and well, it won the best picture eventually. Most reviewer will consider this movie is the best one of 2013/2014 but as for me, it lacks something. Everything is there, the cast, the plot, the setting, the (controversial) theme. However, it needs something that you can remember even after 10 years watching it. There's nothing to converse, but it's perfect. Maybe that's the problem, it's too perfect. It's like having the best chocolate cake (forgive the pun) , but what you crave is probably a cheesecake or apple pie. You will say it's the best one but it's maybe not what you enjoy the most.

But if i have to applaud, it's definitely the cast. They are very memorable in their own different way. Michael Fassbender did a fantastic job in it. He is my definitely new one-to-watch after the movie and as for 2014/2015, you will see a lot more from him. Overall, the movie is flawless but you probably need to sleep after you finish it.",7

It's loud, it's dumb, Tom Hard's Eddie Brock still fails to convince, but you won't be bored (aside from the inevitable overblown CGI finale).

Sony's new Marvel movies are turning out much better than the Disney ones and better than the recent DC output as well. Enjoy!",7
"I have watched season 1 in its entirety now, and I am looking forward to the next season. I agree with most of the reviews I've read. This is an interesting, very well made show. I have not read the books so can't comment on how well they follow them. But everyone should be aware that it's not possible to follow books accurately in TV episode format. Each episode must have a beginning and end, and leave you anxiously awaiting the next, and books are not written in episodic format. So writers have to make adaptations which fans of the books are often not very happy with. I was afraid this might be another teeny bopper, high school type drama. But I was pleasantly surprised to find it is not that. It features adult, interesting characters. The story grabbed my attention from the start. There is a slowly developing attraction between the two main protagonists. I thought it was handled quite well. It seems mature, with no high school angst or drama.

I agree with everyone else on this also: the scenery is a visual feast. That always adds a lot to a show.

What can I say, the story is quite interesting and holds my attention, leaving me wanting more. I am disappointed at the end of each episode, because it has ended too quickly. I really like this show.",9
"This is so goofy. The answer is pretty obvious from the get-go, and they try SO hard to not make that the case. This alone wouldn't really bother me if it weren't for the great actors being allowed to commit bad acting, the cheesy lines, the shameless cultural references that don't really propel the story, etc. WHY is covid a character?! Political correctness of some kind? For fun?! Even if this script was written during the pandemic, oh sorry ""pando"" (?!), why why why keep it there just to erase it so quickly with a fake solution, as if to pay homage to it in some way. Pandemic in no way propels the story. Super weird

The original was stimulating and creative. This, on the other hand, was an obscenely expensive/overproduced whodunnit hallmark movie. Janelle Monáe only quality to really come out of this mess. Daniel Craig a far distant second. Stop insulting us w horrible garbage content hollywood. Please please please. It's so depressing.",2
"Venom is pretty much a cookie cutter action flick. It plays with the what made the original film successful. Letting the protagonist take over AND consume us with their natural charm.

Hardy and Michelle Williams made the film. As already said, the screenplay is awful. The convenient-for-its-own-good storytelling, Venom lazily becoming the narrator of the film, and the awkward scripting (ie the jokes).

I felt that the film biggest problem of the film is that it does not know how to handle the ideas they had. Unlike the more successful Marvel films, it has no grand feeling of an epic. The stakes is pretty much spelled out as the villains is one dimensional played straight and boringly to hell.

In addition, the presence of Venom is too much. He is already the internal narrator/voice of reason in the film AND that felt extremely annoying at times. He just cannot do no wrong. Also, the jokes would falls flat for much less comedic actors (i.e. The new MCU actors). Kudos to Hardy in knowing how to camp it up. He, Michelle Williams and Reid Scott (famous for his role in Veep) plays up the aspect of the film really well.

Overall, the film is fun BUT empty. Forgettable [5/10].",5
"Might as well get right to it, then. At the risk of sounding like a contrarian, I did not love this film. Do I love elements of this? Yes. Is this a 5-star masterpiece? Unfortunately, no.

The cinematography here at least, is masterful. Director Christopher Nolan has, without a doubt, reached the pinnacle of on-screen spectacle here. The feats of practical effects in this film are breathtaking. The casting of nearly 6,000 extras, authentic WWII vehicles, and shooting on location in Dunkirk, France contribute to a great sense of scale here. There is ongoing trend of action films in recent years of relying on CGI, and thankfully Nolan bucks that trend.

Similar to War for the Planet of the Apes, much of the film plays out without much dialogue, leaning on just the score and sound design in most scenes. It almost goes without saying that Hans Zimmer delivers with another incredible score. The sound design is also extremely well crafted, which, paired with Nolan's great work behind the camera, truly transports you to the Battle of Dunkirk. The wailing of planes passing above, the drone of gunfire, and the roar of explosions all contribute to the complete immersion into the world these characters are trapped in. This results in some of the most immersive wartime action scenes since Saving Private Ryan.

This film has and will continue to be compared to World War II classic Saving Private Ryan. Both films are beautifully filmed WWII period pieces with casts that deliver great performances. The similarities end there. Whereas Saving Private Ryan was engrossing as a narrative due to it's characters with depth and arcs, Dunkirk instead leans on it's subject matter and spectacle.

And while the subject matter of Dunkirk is fascinating, as a film it lacks emotional firepower due to the absence of a strongly written protagonist. This is strangely uncharacteristic of a director of Nolan's caliber, especially when you recall the complex character work in his most acclaimed films: The Dark Knight, Memento, and The Prestige. Instead of focusing on a single character or single group of characters, the focus is spread across three protagonists in completely different situations. Showing the Dunkirk Evacuation through the three different perspectives of those on the beach, the sea, and the air is only an interesting proposition on paper. The narrative, due to this writing choice, is spread far too thin, with few characters getting enough screen time to develop even the mildest emotional connection.

While the characters in this film aren't written to even remotely be compelling, the great work from this cast is not to be overlooked. Harry Styles, known for being a member of English boy band One Direction, is surprisingly excellent here in his acting debut. Mark Rylance, Kenneth Branagh, and Fionn Whitehead also all give standout performances despite the limited screen time they are given.

I should love this film. Historical drama? WWII setting? My favorite director Christopher Nolan? Amazing cinematography? Superb performances from an ensemble cast? All of these elements made me sure I would love this going in. But, Dunkirk's lack of emotional connection severely detracts from the awe-inspiring scope and technical prowess displayed.

If I reviewed based on visuals alone, this is a slam-dunk, walk-off home run of a 5-star film. While a focus on grandeur and situation over character depth and emotion may work for some (it obviously worked for 98% of critics on Rotten Tomatoes), it did not work for this critic.

This is without a doubt a cinematic achievement, but without an emotional core, it's impossible for this film not to feel cold and empty. Despite being a technical masterpiece, this is Christopher Nolan's most disappointing film yet.",7
"So I was looking for a new TV show/box set to watch and came across Hannibal. I decided to give it a go based on so many good reviews. It sounded like it would be my type of programme as I love the crime/thriller genre. 11 episodes in and I feel as though I'm on a completely different planet from the avid fans of the show. I've given it 5 as I haven't seen it all so maybe I'm not in the most fair place to judge, however from what I have seen I must say I'm disappointed. Anthony Hopkins portrayal of Hannibal I find so different from Mad's in this series, maybe that's where some of this disappointment has come from. Hopkins I believed made Hannibal come across as creepy, terrifying, clever and somewhat likable? I think Mad's acting is really something special but that 'likable' quality to Hannibal is non-existent. He does a fantastic job of making him creepy but I feel as though something is lacking. Another criticism of the show is that I'm personally not too keen on the way it's written. It seems to me the script is 'clever' for the sake of being clever, which for me makes it seem less believable and somewhat fake if that makes sense. It just doesn't seem genuine to me. I must however compliment the visual and cinematic effects seen throughout every episode. Technically speaking it is a very modern and well executed series but from an enjoyment point of view I think I've failed to discover or find the love and passion for the show that so many others have. After watching the first episode I was intrigued so I watched another... But now, on episode 11 I'm just lost. I don't find any of the characters to be likable or relatable. Previous TV shows I have watched have kept me at the edge of my seat and with the original intention of only watching a couple of episodes I'd end up flying through a whole season in a day. Hannibal lacks this for me. It's a real shame as I want to like the show, and who knows maybe I will watch episode 12 if I have nothing better to do. I must admit I'm a little envious of the fans who really enjoy it as I wish I could.",5
"After watching the first movie, i wasn't that excited about Captain America and therefore i rated the first movie a 6 but this one had the WOW factor i felt was missing from Captain America: The First Avenger. I watched Winter Soldier because i love Scarlett Johannson and wanted to see more of Black Widow but after watching, i am now very much intrigued by the Captain America storyline. The action was much better, the story was still good and developed as expected for a sequel and there were even some surprises to keep you drawn in just a little bit more.

Overall i find Captain America: The Winter Solider a great movie and i am glad i took the time to give Captain America a chance...not that Chris Evans was hard to look at in the first movie. The sequel is a bigger thrill ride with a few loops along the way so be patient after the first movie and watch Winter Soldier.",9
"Wow what a ride this was!!! It started beautifully with a retro song and then picked up pace as it moved ahead. I would say editing is top notch, soundtrack is refreshing and screenplay is good though it could be better. There is a stamp of Sriram Raghavan on this movie and he gets credit too for it at the beginning. Comedy is situational and real. There are tributes to few classics on the way which adds spice to the whole package. Lots of twists on the way but it didn't feel overwhelming. Loved the ending.

Few loose ends esp Radhika Apte's character which is funny but not grounded in reality. Still, all in all a good watch!!!",8
"Series 2 opens with the camp Ant and Dec lookalike Cheeky Chappy Jim Moriarty...""The greatest criminal mind in Europe"" What? He couldn't run a gang of glue sniffers on a housing estate!

Mark Gattis should have played Moriarty...When he first appeared in episode one of the first series I thought ""Wow...he's Moriarty, wonderful"" and then how my heart sank when Ant and Dec appeared.

The first episode of series 2 was like a Tom Baker Dr Who episode crossed with ""Carry on Baker St.""

It looks like they are throwing the baby out with the bathwater as they desperately try to update Sherlock Holmes. The 2 leads are now wasted in this comedy fantasy...shame. As episode 3 is based on ""The Final Problem"" I assume that Jim (Ant and Dec) will be back.",6
"This movie has barely any narrative. It is short bursts of imagery, music, and dialogue strung together into a 2-plus hour running time. There is no there there, just a concept movie that Netflix - in its ongoing massive thirst for cinema-respectability - keeps throwing at directors: even directors like Michael Bay.",3
"Basically a total ripoff of Steven King but so much worse. Bad writing, bad directing, seriously bad casting, bad acting And no trust in the story. There is a few really good characters an a whole lot of really, really, really bad caracters.",3
"Tony Scott returns to the big screen with his fourth film in five years, and just like the previous three, 'Unstoppable' fits the mould as mediocre-fanfare that will casually keep your attention focused on-screen for an hour and a half. Frank (Denel Washington) is the twenty-eight year old railroad veteran who is placed together with newcomer Will (Chris Pine) for a day working on the tracks. However this is no ordinary day, after fellow railroad worker Dewey (Ethan Suplee) accidentally sends a train out on the main tracks unmanned, it is left to the master and his potential prodigy to overcome their differences and attempt to stop the train before it kills thousands in Stanton, Pennsylvania.

The film's premise is as silly as it sounds, but most importantly, it's just not that entertaining in general. It's only saving grace is the relationship between the veteran actor, and always reliable Denzel Washington and the relative new Star Trek prince, Chris Pine. The dialogue between these two characters is quick witted, funny, awkward, and incredibly natural, and their developing rapport keeps the film ticking over. Aside from Washington and Pine, Scott once again resorts to over-paced editing and desperately quick cuts, which make the film, feel more like a music video, than a motion picture. While the action itself, at the centre of the narrative, is constantly undermined by Scott's need to juxtapose the action of the train itself, with current live news reports from the outlets around the country which thoroughly detracts away from the audiences enjoyment of the film, as it removes any notion of surprise, or revelation as we constantly know where the train is heading, and when it will arrive at that location.

In 'Unstoppable,' everything is laid bare by Tony Scott in regards to the story, so the audience can refocus its attention towards the action shown on-screen, which is not only degrading to the spectators, but also a surprisingly backward step for a director who has yet to break the mould of mediocrity in more than eleven years. Despite attempts to create tension, suspense and an action-orientated picture, Scott instead has succeeded in creating a dull pseudo-documentary in a sense, on how the locomotive is still a powerful beast, that needs man's full attention.",4
"I'm very particular about series I watch, really all TV in general. I was delighted to find Only Murders in the Building when it started. I found myself waiting more and more eagerly each week for the newest episode and went full withdrawal waiting for season 2. I love the twists and that the story line isn't obvious. I do hope the series continues because you've got two legends with Martin and Short, a beautiful blossoming actress with Gomez, complete gems with Lane, Randolph and Creighton. The entire cast, with the exception of Schumer, are all great. Sorry, I've never seen any work by Schumer that I can stomach. She's just not what I call a skilled actress. Kudos to Martin and Hoffman for such a brilliant series. Wishing you success for years ahead. I know the great Steve Martin is retiring but I do hope it's not too soon, the series would not be the same.

For those reviewing Gomez as being too monotone and boring, have you watched the series? If so, you should realize, this is the persona of her character and with reason. She's acing it. Her character is not some chipper, high strung millennial. The character has been through a lot and is very deep, much mature for her age. So give Gomez a break, she is nailing the character 100%.",9
"I have read the book and couldn't finish that but if this is what a decent series is in 2020 then I'm seriously disappointed in a generation of culture

How anyone can say this is worth a watch I don't know. It's so repetitive and the characters have no depth or intensity at all.

I couldn't watch past epsidode 4 because the whole thing is way to frustrating. The girl is way to stuck up and often attention seeking, thinking the world revolves around her... The whole time.

She is impossible to watch, she needs to get off her high horse and say something. And then the guy is slightly more likeable but overall it's boring, inaccurate,frustrating and repeative. Why doesn't anyone say anything?? Literally grow some balls and have it out.",1
No words. If u like people bragging about themselves then this is the movie you will enjoy.,1
Great father was acted by Mammootty as a father and the police was Aarya. The similar story is here it both movies Ratasan and Great Father is in murdering school girls or teenage girls.,8
"Movies about faith are tricky to make for a general population. In today's world where such a topic is torn into, with the endless debate often leading to different outlooks on such a historical and personal topic. And yet, sometimes that type of movie becomes the big hit such as last year's I can Only Imagine did. Nevertheless, the religious drama movies are ready to hit big this Easter weekend as tonight looks at another real, miracle event for inspiration. Tonight, I get the chance to check out:

Movie: Breakthrough (2019) Director: Roxann Dawson Writer: Grant Nieporte Stars: Chrissy Metz, Topher Grace, Josh Lucas

LIKES: The Message The Emotion The Sound and Video editing The Music

SUMMARY: In a movie like this, the message is perhaps the central core of the movie, and Breakthrough is not afraid to show you the beliefs of the cast involved. Unlike the ice to which the character falls into, the belief in prayer and the power of God is the beautifully emphasized in the various scenes and sequences. The case of faith comes with plenty of emotional moments, monologues and discussions about the various questions that come with the Lord's work and the explanation of miracles. As the audience members in my theater showed, those deep in faith became engrossed into the film, allowing the feelings to wash over them and manifest in shouting at the screen in their praise. The scenes that I think did the most for me, being the robot I am, involved those where sound and editing were blended in the Hollywood magic way. Using those subtle sound effects that soon radiate throughout the theater with close ups of the patient, brought the power of the prayer to life. However, the component I think is the biggest supporting power is the music. Much like the trailer, Breakthrough contains the songs worship that hold an ability of their own to incite the true magic that faith has. Those moments struck a chord in their beauty, and is the selling point of the movie for me.

DISLIKES:

Preachy Cheesy at times A bit Too Forced Selective Audience The Extra Fluff Secondary Character Syndrome

SUMMARY: The challenge of these movies is trying to take a tale and expand it into the populace that make up today's audience. Breakthrough didn't quite meet that challenge when talking with my friend who accompanied me. For one thing, the movie takes a little too much turn down the preachy side, utilizing monologues, very staged/forced dialogue, and Hallmark channel like writing that is all geared towards the message. The various church like sermons hold good meaning, but it's not the most entertaining movie writing that writers have cooked up. As such, this forced sermon will sort of force this movie into a narrow alley for audiences leaving general audience members disappointed. Thus, it's that selective audience that sort of limits the theater visiting component of the film. Now in terms of the other two dislikes for me it starts again with going a little too far with the story. Near the ending 25 minutes extra fluff was added that once more held good ideas, but they were in a manner that felt out of place. Breakthrough's ending just seemed to come a little too late in the movie, potentially suggesting another story arc that could have added more time had they pursued it. They made the right choice of cutting most of it, they just needed to cut the last remnants to keep the consistency. And of course the character utilization is key to making the most of your cast. Breakthrough did a decent job with its primary and secondary characters, at least in terms of big names, but the movie failed to really maximize the other characters that were introduced in the beginning. I understand this isn't the theme of the movie, but then don't waste time doing elaborate introductions to only fizzle out.

The VERDICT:

Breakthrough is timed perfectly for release for Easter and will speak to the intended audience of those with powerful faith. The Lord's words speak true and the miracles this movie represents are indeed an inspiration to see, especially when the powerful editing and music blend together. Yet, unlike some of the other faith-based movies, Breakthrough still finds odds with getting the entertainment value in, the preachiness and forced dialogue being the lighthouse for a narrow set of audience members, thus limiting the theater visit. Throw in some editing and character use choices that aren't quite all the way there and you again get the limitations of this movie. Still, a film worth watching at home or in youth group, Breakthrough's quality is best left at the comfort of your own home rather than the theater.

My scores are:

Biography/Drama: 6.5 Movie Overall: 4.5-5.0",7
"Nick Spitz (Adam Sandler's character) is so appallingly crass in this that, not only did I not care what happened to him, I actually hoped he would come to a truly horrible end.

I really struggle to understand why this film was made. I guess it kept the cast and crew in work, but it is of absolutely no artistic merit.

Writing as a Briton, it feels especially anti-American, in a very cliched way: the disgustingly gross and insensitive American tourists, portrayed by Sandler and Aniston. Is that the (meta-)subtext: ""Look at us, we're appallingly crass Americans, wiping our asses with the dollar bills that Netflix has relentlessly poured over us!""

Just awful!",1
"I truly wanted to enjoy this movie especially after the first 25 minutes, but then it just ends up being trite, boring, pedestrian rubbish. It's not convoluted, it's easy to follow, but my lord it takes forever to get anywhere with substance.

This movie could easily have been and hour and 25 minutes long and better for it, though it would still have been childish nonsense in the main.

Have to say this; just because the movie is bad, doesn't mean all the acting is, the acting is the best part of the movie.",3
"Acting is really weird or cold. They never panic at the worst cases, and still sometimes make funny comments or talk about something else. The star wa given for the visuals only.",1
"I enjoyed season 1 once I realised they were on 3 different timelines.

Season 2 meandered around with no real plot and it maybe because there's been a 2 year gap but Freya Allan is to old for the part of a 13-14 year old and the teenage 'angst' just felt forced and wrong.

Henry Cavil is great and very charismatic which is really the only reason I'm watching.

I haven't read the books or played the games so I don't know what the story is about, and after season 2 I still don't.",6
Opportunity created for under previlage and they succeeded. Nagraj Manjule always made movies on subject which realted with depreived grp ..why we ignore them everyday we blind our eyes because we are think that they are not eligible for anything.so ignore them is best part ...this movie is basically to at least think once that they r also people and need facilities and opportunities to prove themselves.... students should watch this ...Nagraj Manjule hats off.,10
"The conflict in this show is unwavering, there isnt an episode where things die down and the plot lightens. One solution leads to another problem, and each time you want to stick around & see how on earth they will resolve the next one.

Its social commentary is also something it does not shy away from, and its a fine mirror of how current model of society. It has plenty of characters but they all mean something vital to the overall plot, you can easily binge this show and probably complete a season in a day, given you have nothing else to do.

Well done to all the filmmakers who were a part of creating the show.",9
"Utterly predictable. SOS served up for megabucks. Loads of tightly-gripped cash invested in dense, stylish, escapist drek -- effects, production, CG, syrupy love story -- none in originality, creativity or risk.

Del Toro is a gordo millionaire because he's a meticulous hack, because he knows exactly how to make slick, profitable, middle-of-the-road mediocrity. Sorry but, er, I knew exactly where this was going and how it would end right from the git-go, right from the overly ""sincere,"" voice-over intro.

I resented being jerked around like a dog on a short leash by the usual ""correct"" prejudices & stereotypes: Heterosexual males are villains and the male-dominated US gov't is the source of all evil, while the sexy fish is ""effeminate"" (del Toro's own adjective in a DVD extra - its groin is a woman's), the good guy is a cat-loving, recovering-alcoholic homosexual, and the heroine is an ""empowered"" female underdog (here a homely mute), whose BFF is African-American.

Self-pity, nostalgia and sentimentality drip in gallons.

Of course, this won 2018's Best Picture Oscar: It's nice and flabby, perfect for today's predigested, ""correct"" pop entertainment.

"This Marvel film features plenty of action, special effects, and cinematic dazzle. Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) is comfortable in his role as S. H. I. E. L. D.'s go-to guy, teaming with the Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) to take care of missions around the globe that don't require ALL of the Avengers. He is still trying to get used to today's society, visiting old flames, and writing down everyone's suggestions for what he ""must"" do, see, or listen to (musicwise, in a nice scene with Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Falcon). After rescuing some hostages from a hijacked ship in the Indian Ocean, Rogers is exposed to the political realities of working for the massive covert unit. Everyone seems to have a secret agenda, which collides with Rogers' beliefs. The unit's commander, Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) answers to Secretary Pierce (Robert Redford, bringing a huge sack of gravitas to a ""comic book film"") -pierce...shield...get it? You know Pierce is going to be a major thorn in everyone's side. Back room dealings force Rogers to face an elite assassin who resurrects an enemy Captain America assumed was long dead. Rogers quickly learns, and is told by Fury, that you cannot trust anyone.

What I liked about the film, much like the previous year's ""Thor: The Dark World,"" is that this is a stand alone story for Captain America only. Evans is a great hero, at ease in his role. Redford seems to have thrown all caution to the wind, chewing up a supporting role, as opposed to what I thought was a cameo when I saw the preview. Evans and Johansson have an easy chemistry, I wish they would do something else together not involving saving the world. The Russos' direction tends to vary. The best action sequence is a good old fashioned car chase in Washington, D. C. At worse, some of the flying sequences involving the new hero, Falcon, are blurred and confusing, much like a ""Transformers"" flick. I wish some directors would find that happy medium between nailing the camera to the floor, and shaking and swooping the scene to the point where you taste your popcorn coming back up. The screenplay presents a nice paranoid puzzle, but for every surprise, there is a scene where the writers' ""big revelation"" is about as shocking as a sunrise. The returning veterans angle is noble, but sometimes lurches along uncomfortably before the affected subjects jump right back into combat. It's also nice to see genre favorite Jenny Agutter on the big screen in these films. She still looks fantastic. Was there a musical score? I honestly don't remember it. I would also advise boning up on the first ""Captain America"" film, the story is referenced a lot here.",8
"This anime was a real masterpiece until the third season, but in the fourth season of the anime, it changed a lot, and the anime had many story problems. And even the ending has a problem (manga). But overall, Attack on Titan is a good anime.",9
"If so, when. I'm waiting and waiting and getting bored. But I still have not set eyes on the yummy Zachary Levi. Just how much build up is necessary?",5
This show is rightfully one of the best things on TV in years.,9
"In the IMDb top 100, Christopher Nolan is easily one of the most prominent directors you'd find there. When looking at my scratch-off poster, 6 out of the 100 movies are directed by him - more than any other director there, actually. Quite insane. As those who are following me for a while already know, Mr. Nolan and I have a... complicated relationship, let's call it. He directed one of my favorite films, Memento, and some of his films - including the one that I'm reviewing here today - have provided my earlier experiences with more mature cinema. On the other hand, as I got into reviewing stuff here, I've been finding more and more recurring issues with his filmography. So, here I am, coming back to this film after like four years.

Inception, considered by many to be Nolan's magnum opus, follows Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), a guy who specializes in something called ""extraction"" - getting into someone's dreams in order to get information they're trying to keep secret. But this time, though, Cobb gets an unusual job proposal - Inception, getting into someone's dreams in order to plant an idea in their mind. With Cobb's tragic past and haunted present, and an offer by a powerful figure to make things right for him if he succeeds in his mission, he knows that he has to do it. One last job.

If you've already read my review of The Prestige, you know that, in my opinion, Nolan has the same core issues with many of his films, and in each film it shows in different amounts of intensity. Here, I'd say, it's not the worst it's ever been, but still noticeable, substantial. Essentially, I feel like Nolan is addicted to this ""wow"" effect, trying to outsmart the viewer with complicated concepts and clever twists, but while focusing on the form and developing his concepts, he ignores the core of the film - characters, emotion, even a solid plot that feels like a good story and not just a way to communicate a concept, sometimes. That's the gist of it.

So yeah, the whole getting-into-dreams thing is a really cool concept, and you can see it right away, from the opening scene. The way that throughout the film, action scenes are influenced a lot by this dream physics thing, and just generally the way that this concept carries the plot, is at least somewhat entertaining, yes. The problem is, as usual, that Nolan gets lost inside it, only trying to outsmart the viewers. Sorry, but with this much exposition, when most of it is spoon-fed to the audience, things get exhausting and mechanical. There are better ways to go about concepts of this kind, buddy.

Dreams and their meanings have always been fascinating to me. Look at some of my favorite films: Requiem for a Dream, Eyes Wide Shut, Mulholland Drive. The reason that all of them work so well is because of the fact that they realize how much dreams represent our deepest, most buried emotions and impulses. Nolan tries to address that, but he's doing it so mechanically, mainly because his characters here are flat, without any real psychological depth to explore. Yes, even Cobb is not a very good character in my opinion, when it comes to the depth that could be explored in dreams. The so called ""depth"" that we discover feels alright on the story part, as we try to put the pieces together, but it is quite lacking emotionally, I'd say.

With all that being said, I can still call this film entertaining. The main cast is pretty solid (DiCaprio, Tom Hardy and Joseph Gordon-Levit, mainly, and Cillian Murphy is doing a good job as well), so they manage to carry the simple characters with enough charisma to make it work. The plot has me interested, even if not completely immersed, and I do think that it manages to be just enough to make this film...pretty okay. With some huge, glaring problems, but not that bad to watch, most of the time.

One more point I have to devote a paragraph to, because it's just so goddamn annoying: Mal. She's horribly written, both in dialogue and when it comes to the emotional aspect of it, and almost every scene that involves her feels forced, mechanical, overdramatic. I mean, sure, Nolan, you could go for a Femme Fatale character if you really wanted to, but there are better ways to do it than...whatever this is.

Inception suffers from a severe lack of emotion, and yeah, it's too mechanical, rigid, stiff to have me immersed. As he often does, Nolan gets lost in exposition, spoon-feeding us his oh-so-clever concept. However, I'd say that with enough charismatic main actors, a plot that's entertaining enough and a concept that's developed in ways that are pretty okay, plot-wise, this movie is not a bad watching experience. Lacking, but not horrid. Feeling a 6.2/10 on this one.",6
"This is a perfect example of how you can use horror and the unknown, as a cheap short-cut to create tension. But at some point that tension needs to be realised. The last two episodes is no were near delivering on what the build-up promises. And just to top it of: when you finally see the monster in the end, it roars like at tiger (its really scary.....). Dont waste your time watching this.",1
"The first two seasons are really great, the first one especially so. The themes, acting and story lines are on point.

However, the third and fourth do become a bit of a mess - less of a clear message, more trying for drama. They are worth watching though, solely to get to the series finale - well written and well acted!

Important issues being discussed, in a very honest and daring way. Hopefully more shows follow suit!",8
"I know, i might not get it and thats fine. However i have a hard time with the amount of super hero and action movies coming out of the commercial movie industry these days. Guns and violence with unrealistic scenarios gave become the norm, rather then the exception. I saw parts of all John Wick movies, but usually i end up being completely bored after 1/2 an hour. Too much senseless violence, stupid dialogs and really not much else. I think even a 4 out of 10 is generous. I keep asking myself if these movies add anything to the landscape or not? Do they entertain or at least have some sort of an it factor? In my view they don't. Its pretty much a waste of time and efforts.",4
"This movie was pretty decent, it wasn't great but it wasn't bad either, I enjoyed most parts I just had a couple problems with some scenes I also found some scenes boring, but it was still a great film, I love iron man and I loved this film.",7
"It is a joy to watch Shield, especially Season 5. O have no idea what is wrong with US viewers, we I Africa were almost starved to emaciation of this wonderful show because the US crowd would not watch it. Thank God, they renewed until the Disney+ period which has meant we have 100% access as if we were in the US. Sadly, for now, all our favorite S. H. I. E. L. D. Agents are probably still on contract but are not on any show. What a bummer! I mean these guys made these shows with an embargo on most content as the MCU took all the good bits and they were still able to craft a really good show loosely linked to the MCU. What a wow! I am make sure this is great! (South African Blacknglish for: I am pretty sure this is great, I made sure of my sure.) What a wow! What an amazing wow!",9
"While this movie isn't bad, it has the downfall of coming out after every other superhero movie in recent years. It's all been done before. Nothing new here. The acting is good and Gal Gadot is fantastic. It's just a boring story that's so overdone recently with the countless other superhero movies. You end up not really caring about anyone or anything going on and hoping it would end sooner than later. I'd give it 2/5 stars.",4
The show was good with lot of twists sn turns. I just felt action could have been more.,7
"I bought the studio hype that this was the most ""intelligent"" sic-fi film since 2001: Space Odyssey. What an insult to Kubrick. LIke the Dark Knight Rise, Interstellar is 3 long hours of torture, from the moment McCanaughey accidentally stumbles upon NASA's gigantic secret launch operation -- just happens to be in a cornfield a few miles from him, and they never noticed! And by the way, as long as you're here, could you pilot the mission? We just never had any plans for a pilot until you barged in! Christ, this is a plot device from Gilligan's Island.

The rest of this turkey might be summed up as ""weepy soap opera in outer space."" Too many schmaltzy tearjerker scenes for an ""intelligent"" sic-fi film. Anne Hathaway acts more like a chirpy cheerleader than a seasoned astronaut. And like Dark Knight, the plot is so convoluted that I eventually gave up caring. The final scenes, perhaps somewhat inspired by 2001, are lame and pretentious.

I'd rather be waterboarded than suffer through Nolan's dreck again. I'm giving this 1 star to balance the ludicrous spate of 9-10 star reviews. No wonder American film has gone downhill, when the audiences mistake a pretentious, poorly written fruit pie for the ""masterpiece of a genius""",1
Timeline was very hard to get through. Non linear screenplay made some audience bored.,9
"Nothing to special about this movie... This movie hardly has a plot - and the lead actors are not at all convincing in their roles... None of the characters are really developed at all, wolf included. The acting uninspired. It was very slow, predictable and quite boring. I was disappointed. The story itself could've been a little more logical. Beautiful cinematography but badly written; It's visually beautiful: landscapes and photography, camera movement... are great...but they quickly became repetitive. Overall this film is a waste of time.",5
"This movie was so slow and jagged like Inception...I felt much the same in that movie. It started so slowly...boring even...I text a friend about it in the movie...then it ramped up but the edits bounced too much from space ship to earth. I felt the establishing plot was not developed and I felt lost and bored most of the movie. The end was twilight zone powerful, but not enough to save this movie.

My dad is aging so the wheelchair scene was hard and MC in the hospital. Adding of all actors Matt Damon was so bad. Really, MD? It took me way out of the movie. Casey Affleck was OK for his role, but Damon was too much. Hire someone else! Both actors chinked up for the roles.

The concept and production brilliant...i didn't like the movie but lie with Inception it was genius to conceive and produce.

C- at best",2
Going into this show I didn't know alot about the character. This first episode does not have a dull moment in it it's very well thought-out and acted. It's quirky and just entertaining. Truly interested the see where this character goes not looking up any further information as I want to discover it as it goes along.!,8
"SEASON ONE: 10 Stars

It's not Jessica Jones, but it's also the BEST cinematic version of the Punisher to date, including the 1989 Dolph Lundgren version which is arguably the best movie version to date.

Now, I've seen people on IMDb complain about the lack of super powers and the violence involved in the series and, well, clearly they aren't really familiar with the source material.

Especially since The Punisher is essentially Dexter. That is he's a serial killer tolerated only because he kills the bad guys. But still...serial killer.

And with that in mind, you have a series about a killer that kills a lot of killers worse than he is. Only unlike Dexter, he's killing them with guns and not really concerned about getting caught or the evidence he leaves behind.

He's just a killer. And, well, it works. It's done right. And the characters are perfect.

SEASON TWO:

Season 1 I gave 10 stars. Season 2 did something so anti-Punisher that I had to bring it down to 1.

It did the Jessica Jones thing. The first season was amazing, not Season 1 of Jessica Jones good, but it nailed The Punisher better than even some of the writers in the comics could ever dream of (MAX clearly excluded).

And then it does the political thing and unfortunately the politics were ""Woke.""

Now with Jessica Jones the kind of politics weren't that important...they still killed the show...but at least the politics fit the character.

Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, Luke Cage (to an extent) you can introduce far left politics and it would fit their character. Daredevil is defined more by being a Catholic...but even then you can take the character to the left and it would fit (just not as far). They are all essentially liberal characters....but the Punisher is not a liberal character.

The Punisher can't go woke, Jessica can, but The Punisher is essentially a serial killing super conservative authoritarian. He's not a nice person.

The Punisher is slightly right of Atilla the Hun. He makes Trump look like a liberal. That is the essence of his character. He's an authoritarian.

He's a conservative character, that is his personality. He's more of a Neo-Con than Iron Man, he's more conservative than Mr. Fantastic..and Netflix made him woke.

It is a personality trait that brings him into conflict with so many other Marvel characters, especially very liberal characters like Captain America.

And I realize that woke people are also authoritarian...but it's an authoritarianism that is the direct opposite of The Punisher.

So, not only did they inject politics into my escapism again (which I hate) but this time the politics where in direct contrast to the character's personality.

So congratulations Netflix, you messed up a really good show on two levels.

Injecting politics into a show is irritating when you are watching it to escape the bleak reality on the news...but when the politics contrast the essence of the character it's a tragedy.",1
"""WandaVision"" begins very slow... You don't really know what is happening in the show and you doesn't even know when the action is taking place, because the only clue that you have is the fact that you know that this TV series is happening sometime after the ""Avengers: Endgame"". Anyway, as soon as the episodes unfold, you find out the truth and everything starts to makes sense.

This show it's not bad, but it's not great either! It has some very funny and emotional moments, but I guess that it lacks its action and more precisely, you don't get to see any action until the last episodes. Even the main antagonist it's not really too threatening, because somehow, the show creates the idea of predictability and you know that however strong the villain is, in the end the protagonist would always win.

""WandaVision"" it's not bad and it should not ruin your time, especially because I guess that it's very important for the future MCU's projects. I suggest you to watch the prior MCU's movies before watching this, all of them, if you have the time and the mood, but if you lack the patience, I guess that the movies ""Captain America: The First Avenger"", ""Captain America: The Winter Soldier"", ""Avengers: Age of Ultron"", ""Captain America: Civil War"", ""Avengers: Inifnity War"" and ""Avengers: Endgame"", should be enough, in order to understand what is happening during this show! Don't forget about the after-credits scenes.",6
"Very disappointed to be watching this after seeing some good reviews, it's really not reflective of the movie. If I tunes issued refunds I would want my money back for renting this.",1
"How are people so spicy about this movie? It's a great murder mystery with a great cast and I would totally watch more in this series. The *cough*NotElonMusk*cough* character and all his friends are all so delightful to despise that you're genuinely excited when things go really off the rails.

Generally, I'm not a fan of things set during the Pandemic. A little too close to home. But it's a perfect setting for these characters because it explains *exactly* who each of them are through that lens.

The story was told inside out, but it's basically a classic mystery ala Murder on the Nile: interesting, isolated setting and absolutely everyone lies.",10
"Only murders in the building

A splendid whodunnit story that's brought to life by its brilliant casting. Twists and turns are littered all through, making it worth every minute; the 7th episode is especially well-done with the unique styling.

Absolutely deserving of the praise and accolades it's been garnering thus far (if only Selena Gomez had snag the golden globes best comedy actress nom, but we have the critics' choice and possibly the Emmys to look forward to.)",9
"I started reading Spiderman when he debuted with Steve Ditko doing the writing and the art way back in the sixties, and have to say that this movie captured the soul of Ditko's special version of Spidey better than I would have imagined. The casting is great - the woman playing Aunt May couldn't look more like her with that chin and that mouth if she'd had plastic surgery!- and the overall look and feel of the film is true to the original comic in almost every respect. Yes, you can pick some nits about things that have been upgraded to fit current technological knowledge, but it would be just that - picking insignificant nits of no consequence at all. Watching the fight scenes left me gawking at the way they animated Doc Ocks' arms, and Spidey's movement through the skyscrapers of NYC left me with vertigo. A great effort and what the Superman movies SHOULD have been. Too bad DC didn't have the vision of Stan Lee and the Marvel group!",10
"Season 1 entertained a lot with great dialogues, gaitonde's courage, Mumbai's lifestyle But Season 2 made our brains like curd.",9
"Don't believe the hype, this movie is either a strange rework of the man with one eye in the land of the blind OR its about 5G tech which the government will test on you as a population control exercise.

This fillum is CRAP. (Also Sandra Bullock is just all Botox and Pollifilla, sad)",2
Stupidity overloaded. No plot. No story. Poor knowledge. Pathetic direction.,1
Totally amazing that this movie has such high scores - definitely bought votes. I love movies and the genre war. This movie does not even deserve to be called a movie and no matter what category people thinks it belongs within the film-world: this was a real failure. I regret buying this piece of garbage. I can write an essay about why this movie is such a let down but frankly it doesn't deserve my time - it has already stolen more than 2 hours of my life.,1
Very boring and overrated movie. Good acting. Get the sympathy from the viewers by adding some sad scenes. If you can read between lines you will see the real message of this movie.,4
"Sadly, the best thing about this film is the cast and special effects team. No clear direction of story. Ignoring the depth from the Harry Potter series, this is a clear failure from the first Fantastic Beasts film. Better not waste your time and just enjoy the first film in my view.",1
"Slow as. No plot. Nothing happens until 15 min left in the movie, then it's done. Crap. Disgusted in myself for wasting 2 and a half hours of my life with this garbage. Should of known better. Will not watch another Tarantino movie.",2
"This is one miserable movie. I don't understand how it could possibly make anyone laugh. I've sat through this movie for about 45 minutes waiting for the fun to come,yet I never saw one joke. I don't know how anyone could rate this so high, I know humans have different tastes in humor but I never imagined that this movie would be anywhere close to funny... I mean which human would think that a normal day-day sentence like "" Where are you off to"" is funny? It's more like having a candid camera aimed at two nerds and watching them go about their daily duties. God help us. It's overrated movies like these that make IMDb's rating system impossible to comprehend. Script sucks, acting is just OK, this is not ""hilarious"" like people claim it is. This movie should receive ratings at par with Disaster movie, Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans etc.

I SEE MOST COMMENTS RATING THIS BELOW 5, YET THIS MOVIE'S OVERALL RATING IS 7.9 - THIS VOTING SYSTEM IS RIGGED AND IT'S TOO OBVIOUS.",3
"Stranger Things is a series that took the world by surprise; delivering a simple premise, but executing it in an exceptional way, it became a series of great quality that remains constant in its design, expressing itself both superficially and profoundly in the field of nostalgia and cool visuals.

Set in the 80's, does a magnificent job to bring to life the aspects of that era, placing and creating details as small as large that only helps to visualize in a fantastic way the theme of the series. Combining terror with classic archetypes, he manages to deliver a series that is highly entertaining, original and fantastic to admire. Finally also, we have children's characters that do not become extremely annoying or cliches, but on the contrary, we begin to adore them for their fantastic performances and their wonderful chemistry.

A series like no other that fills the heart with fantastic moments and at the same time keep us in tension with their story of terror and fantastical narrative.",8
"As a whole I love the Black Mirror series, for me it's been like a modern day version of The Twilight Zone or Outer Limits. And for a time, it would consistently give me this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach after each episode, which meant it truly touched me and disturbed me to my very soul. This is the heart of Black Mirror, and what made it so popular.

I'm afraid for season 5, a season that is very short by the way, only 3 episodes, that they strayed away from. While the acting has always been top notch, and still is, there are no complaints in this department, at the end of each episode it failed to really hit me, failed to leave me feeling disturbed. Mostly I think this is due to each episode ending in a happy sort of way.

If this is what the writing crew, and the directors of the series were hoping to achieve, then they have succeeded brilliantly.

But this series prided itself, and was built on the principle of technology and humanity clashing, and bringing out the dark side of humanity no matter how advanced our society becomes, so in that aspect, I am afraid it has failed miserably.

I only hope that Netflix realizes this, and can make some changes and improve it again for season 6.",5
"If you want to turn your brain off and possibly risk a little brain damage, this is a prefect way to edge your way towards a virtual lobotomy. And to think, a small impoverished country somewhere could have new hospitals, schools, and a wind farm for what it cost to make this eye cancer.

Beyond the breath taking and ludicrous action scenes, the pedantic plot would have been better utilized in a comic book.",3
"The first 30 minutes has been nauseating wrt bad acting, writing, unnecessary crudeness, tired cliches , over the top wokeness, etc. but based on ranking and rating I really want to give it a chance. I do not think I will make it so it unlikely that there will be a edit to this review.",5
"The Witcher is much better than the Wheel of Time, but it has the same flaw found in both adaptations. It's obvious that when media giants like Netflix and Amazon buy the TV rights to a major book series, all they are really interested in is the concept, the major characters, and the fictional world. Everything else they treat like a rough first draft of a script that can be changed, altered, or transformed into something that suits their purposes. The Wheel of Time was changed beyond all recognition while at least The Witcher retains much of the original story, but I will never forgive the showrunner for what she did to Eskil and the laying of the blame for that upon Ciri. Congratulations, you just infuriated the over 30 million people who bought the game containing Eskil and Ciri's story. It's understandable how the Tolkien Estate guards his legacy so fiercely from the attention of big media companies. I'm only continuing with this series because I like the lead characters so much.

To everyone who finds the story difficult to follow and the timeline all over the place, that's exactly how the books were written so at least they've retained that much from them.",7
"I set up a new IMDB account just to write this review. I haven't read the books or played the games - I just wanted to enjoy a new fantasy show with kickass monster killing and they even butchered that! Henry Cavill really is the only thing that carries this show. His two main supporting characters Yennifer and Ciri are so bad, it's incredibly difficult to believe. Yennifer had such potential as a base character, but she's been cast far too young and cannot pull off the fact she's apparently one of the strongest mages ever. There is no way Yennifer and Geralt make a believable bond. She went from unable to do anything in her training to ""graduating"" seemingly only by political trickery. Then don't even get me started on her simpering weak character in season 2 which completely wrecked the flow. Ciri just runs around wide eyed, calling for help and screaming. Then when Yennifer and Ciri meet, it's even more unbelievable as they're both so young looking, they look more like insipid sisters rather than any believable mother-daughter bond. Which goes to show the level of casting and script writing.

Like others have written, it would have been much better had they focused on the Witcher and monster killing. But the political nonsense, poor casting and wasted character development is truly disappointing. I kept watching only for Geralt's character, but just ended up shaking my head at the pitiful shallow potential wasted of Yennifer. The elves also get a special mention as they are more like rain sodden refugees with pointy ears than any special level of their own.

Only giving 4 stars due to the effort Henry Cavill gave. I'm so sorry Henry that they butchered this and your potential!",4
"I was really wanting to like this movie, so I gave it a chance. Even though audiences liked it and critics hated it, I still wanted to see what it had to offer. This is one of the laziest films I've ever seen, and it felt as if everyone involved simply gave up with the character build-up and screenplay. The story was at least decent, yet it was half of what it could have been. I was actually fascinated the concept, but it treats the audience as if we don't know anything about good filmmaking... because the acting was pretty awful, and they delivered some of the most cliché, cheesy, and most overused phrases and sections of dialogue we've seen in films countless times. Yes, people will absolutely love this movie. But I was let down, and to be honest... I was really annoyed at how bad the dialogue and character development really was, and how the creators had a project on their hands in which they could've excelled at and given us something new. But unfortunately, we were treated with one of the most uninspired screenplays in years, along with the entire film trying to be many things in which it wasn't. This movie was barely watchable, and I would not recommend this movie to anyone looking for a true escape. Within the first ten minutes... I knew where the film was headed. The creators followed the typical Hollywood norms, tropes, and clichés. This movie was driven by predictability and something audiences would feel familiar with, which is something that really gets on my nerves. This movie had at least two or three enjoyable moments in my opinion. But the film as a whole was extremely and painfully predictable, cheesy, uninspired, poorly executed, and was afraid to give us something unfamiliar, in other words... fresh and new. Venom had the chance to be great, but it failed on so many levels for me.",2
"This Marvel studio production is about two Marvel characters Wanda and Vision. The story revolves around them and the bizarre events happening in their life.

To a diehard fan of Marvel universe it might be seemed as an enjoyable tv series but for an impartial viewer the effort fall way short in becoming enjoyable. The story is so stale and pointless that it almost hurts your intelligence. The script was included with unnecessary characters with useless puns where it lacks basic logic in it. The screenplay was focused to stretch the scenes which dragged the story to unbearable extent. The good thing was the acting of the main characters while the supporting actors and actresses provided with an average performance.

Not recommended.",3
"I had been waiting for this movie for a long time, for all its hype and the much talked about epoch making movie of the year.

'The Great Gatsby' starts off with Nick Carraway, (Tobey Maguire) narrating his events and experiences from his past life in New York. The movie starts at a dull pace, with long CGI shots and never ending party celebrations at the Gatsby mansion, which makes one's head go fuzzy. For the initial 30 minutes, the story builds up the suspense about the protagonist Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), with people talking about him in hushed voices and those never ending stories. After killing the boring half an hour, Gatsby finally makes it to the screen introducing himself to Carraway at one of his grand parties. The thrill that was built up, vanishes in less than a few moments as what was anticipated to be a dramatic thriller turns out into a dull melodrama of love and betrayal, with Gatsby desperately longing to tie the loose ends with his lost love. (Innocently hoping that things would be the same as they were 5 years back)

While watching this film, I always found myself at an arm's length, rather than being involved into the story. Halfway through the movie, I couldn't help but wait eagerly for its end; More out of boredom rather than curiosity. The characters aren't given enough screen time to make their appearance felt or develop themselves. The actors just pop in and out of the screen, making the first half looks chaotic.

Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway, with his stone faced acting, irritating accent and forced dialogues, couldn't have been worse in the supporting cast. This, along with the terrible background score serves as the last nails in the coffin for this high budget fiasco.

The best thing (the only good thing) about The Great Gatsby is Leonardo DiCaprio. The story builds up and deepens as we enter into the life of Jay Gatsby, which defines the depth of DiCaprio's role and brings out his skills and maturity as an amazing actor. With his charismatic acting skills and an outstanding personality as Jay Gatsby, Leo keeps one's interest alive in the otherwise boring and one dimensional film. Towards the end, you can't help but feel sorry towards Gatsby as he dies alone, taking all the blame for the crimes he never committed.

'The Great Gatsby' is visually stunning, but is otherwise average and disappointing. What could have been a slick, stylish and sexy thriller instead sinks your hopes and disappoints all the way till the end.",4
"The film was really disappointing, just a catalogue of hits, without very much build up, or skill. There was no story line or even characterization, apart from a little glimpse into his children's view, but too little. Reminded me of a film made by the extremely talented residents of a care home, but as they are aging it would be too challenging to hold a complex plot.",5
A good story for students as they go through the same stages of life.,8
"Caught this @ Imax on Thursday night on the 1570 viewing.

It's a beautifully crafted film. Zimmer's score drones throughout creating a sense of non-stop tension and foreboding. It's relentless, almost fatiguing in parts. The sound-stage and the score really make the film. You hear and feel so much of the film. It was bloody loud in parts. I could have been Tom Hardy's co-pilot and still couldn't hear or understand a word he said.

Nolan once again uses time as a motive, utilising a non-linear structure telling three separate stories that intersect during the Battle of Dunkirk. It's done very well. The cast is very good throughout, all giving solid performances.

My only criticism would be that it was pretty tame and a somewhat low- key rendition of the Battle of Dunkirk. It's almost minimalist in parts.

Very, very solid filmmaking.

Will watch this again as I think the Imax experience was a little overwhelming and all encompassing at times – the dog fights, dive- bombing and air scenes were intense!

Definitely an early contender for awards season.",6
You can enjoy the show and you will miss all marval action,8
"Kristen Bell....Mila Kunis.... what else do I need to say? A lot of creative humor, great scenery (my own memories of romance in Waikiki prejudiced me here). Very annoyed with Russel Brand, whose presence in any scene is like fingernails on a chalkboard.",9
"This movie was really more of the same. That isn't a bad thing, but it is starting to wear thin.

What I didn't like:

As a comic book lover, it was a serious miss-interpretation of the Civil War text. It had very little to do with the comic book tale.

It was more of an Iron Man movie than a Captain America movie. It revolved around Iron Man having a horrible day, and Cap being a bystander in his own movie.

What I liked:

I liked the fact that in this movie we see more character development of Ant-Man and Hawkeye two characters that are not very well represented in the MCU yet.

Black Panther was spot on from the character that I knew from the comic books of old.

I appreciated the tie in to Agent Carter.",6
"And his ability to cope with the action sequences, plus the film setting...although I admit, they gave the action and fight sequences choreography good shot, throwing children off the roof did not need to be included. As an ex Bangladeshi, of course, I was chuffed to see it included in the story, here's hoping for more of my birth country. The thing is, you put a gun in a Bangladeshi man's hand, and he thinks he is God...well portrayed in the movie.",6

"Ready Player One starts out with a strong, or at least decent, first act. The second act introduces bad '80s action movie/children's TV show villain tropes into the movie's real world elements. The third acts just stops trying to make in-real-life sense altogether. The CGI is good, the acting is nothing to complain about, the pop-culture references can be fun to spot, but the promising start makes the increasingly grown-worthy logic fails that much more disappointing.",6

I love a film that has its whole plot explained on the title. Nearly 2 hours of glorious violent. Looks like it was set in Peterlee,7
"Captain America: Civil War is the best one out of the Captain America Trilogy.

The fact that this film tackles grown-up issues and asks a powerful question without being preachy or dramatic is nothing short of a major achievement.

It features the best action sequences you'd get to see in any MCU movies (others have great action too, but this one just blows the mind). From Cap to Black Widow to Iron Man, everyone gets stylish action sequences. Cap's shield action is even exhilarating in this one.

This film is an action-adventure, but plays out more like an action thriller. This time, Tony's look itself confirms the film to be an intense action film with intense performances. There are moments which would even leave you heartbroken. The screenplay is written with a lot of depth and perfection, making it the best MCU movie before Infinity War.

Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr deliver performances of a kind you'd have rarely seen before in a superhero film. You rarely get to feel you're watching Chris and Downey, the stars. You DO feel you're watching just Steve Rogers and Tony Stark. Scarlett Johansson impressed big time in the action scenes. Note that she has got some of the best ones in the film. Other actors do a great job as well, especially Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther and Tom Holland as Spider-Man.

Technically, this film is a masterpiece. From cinematography to visual effects to action sequences, this film wins in every department. The airport fight shot in IMAX is one of the major highlights of this film.

At the end of the day, Captain America: Civil War asks you a simple yet double-edged question: whose side are you on? I still don't have an answer to this question.",10
"This movie is fine, but the level of suspense throughout helped me feel things again.",7
Hollow and boring Dunkirk show us how SCi-fi drector shoul stick to what he's do best - Fantasy movies. I still think his The Dark Knight (2008) its his best film (his first and third Batmans film is just average action films). Stick to what you do best - you dont need these Oscar statuettes.,3
"I admire the effort and meticulous planning that goes into his scenes. It's a breath of fresh air to see a director take passion in the colour palette of a film and stylise it so. However, what happens to your actors when they can only walk either vertically or horizontally? It becomes flat. I get the overwhelming impression that Anderson has planned his scenes so much so that there is absolutely no spontaneity. I think this is probably the most frustrating film I have ever seen, mainly because of the amount of effort that has gone into it but the lack of exploration given to the actors over arches the entire production. It's close, but miles off at the same time. I literally had to turn it off half way through after the 100th symmetrical scene or a shot in profile / head on. What had happened to exploring the 3 dimension world the film is shot in. I actually feel like within 30 minutes his direction becomes lazy and he has forgotten what the emotion of film is all about. Incredible scenes are lost because of the direction being so caught up in its own aesthetic. It's almost like watching Pac man for 2 hours. Shame, obviously a great script.",4
No doubt one of the greatest stories told on a big screen and one of the best Tom Hanks movies.Gary and Mykelti are awesome in it and of course i'd love me sum shrimps,1
"The series start with a bang. But then goes down hill from there. The story is intriguing but the execution becomes dull and doesn't grab your attention through out. Its also slow in pacing. Coming to the main cast. This is like the millionth time Nawazuddin Siddiqui is playing a character who is poor have daddy and mommy issues. Which starts effecting him mentally and he becomes a psychopathic mafia/killer. So he looks and sounds like every other character he has played in his career. Saif Ali Khan however is the only actor who keeps the series interesting. When ever he was on screen the narrative becomes interesting. There are other great actors in the series (Radhika Apte, Jatin Sarna, Rajshir Deshpande) all play there part to the T. But nothing is outstanding or extraordinary. Most of them are just sulking all the time or cursing each other rather than taking any action to help story go further. The narrative is very similar to Narcos. If you have seen similar series on Netflix before then you can skip this one. In comparison to what Netflix series have deliver in US this is average and not worth binge watching",1
"The one take shot again for the chasing scene, but after seen 1917, nothing is impossible. It's average for the story and typical for this taken subject. It's not bad but just typical. Commerical movie always welcome I assume, but not for me.",5
"I saw this movie on DVD as kid and I didn't like it because there was ""too much Peter Parker, not enough Spider-Man."" I enjoyed the train sequence and the ending, but that was just it.

Years later, I started to see people saying Spider-Man 2 is the best superhero movie ever made and deep down I disagree. I did go back and watched the movie after seeing Spider-Man(2002) and man...man, was I wrong about this movie. This movie has such a deeper meaning to it and very relatable to the real life world. Dare I say, IT'S HUMAN! Seeing Peter struggling with school and jobs is related to how people are in the world. Seeing Doc Ock from being a good scientist and lovely husband to a mad scientist from a experiment gone wrong to a guy sacrificing himself to save New York. Now that is something you don't see in superhero movies. A bad guy becoming a hero.

The writing is great and the visual effects still holds up to this day. If you think about it, every character, including the ones with small roles, has a story and it's memorable. Sam Raimi did an awesome with this movie.

It's sad that some people say this movie is terrible and Spider-man fans only like it because of nostalgia which is not true. The people who say these things: -Never actually seen the movie -Never grew up with it -Find something to nitpick -Heard it from someone else -Never understood anything in this movie -Not their type of movie I always quote ""people hate what they don't understand"" because I see movies with good universal praise gets bash by people who don't understand why it's good as it is. They'll never bother putting 2 and 2 together to understand the movie. The movie is there to show and tell while you figure it out yourself before judging the film. THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED ART!",9
"SHAZAM!

Oh wait. It's better to just say.... shazam???

Felt like the movie was specifically filmed for the very young generation of kids. If I was going to watch a movie, say like ""Spy Kids"" intentionally, then I probably would have enjoyed Shazam much more.

Some of the special effects were ok. Some of the plot was ok. Most of it was just two hours of mediocre jokes and running around pointlessly. Maybe two good scenes in the entire movie. So like, 10 good minutes out of 120.

Not to mention, his suit looked like the director tried to squeeze him into a red and yellow Stay Puff marshmallow outfit.

Bottom line, just another DC catastrophe.

I should have stayed home and watched Green Lantern or Spy Kids again ( or Uncle Grandpa or Chowder reruns).

3 out of 10 stars.

At least DC got Aquaman and Wonder Woman right.

The editor for Green Lantern didn't even watch it, and it was a better movie.",3

"I think is a little fresh, but the direction is not quite good, the performances are great, Even de CGI is not that Bad, but there's the lack of the line story. Henry Cavill rescues the series, but please I hope they improve the direction in the second season.",6
"I am amazed how many people ranked this one as a top choice.

Interesting story, but the movie doesn't serve it.

It lacks coherence, like for example either the writer or Nolan had some extended vacation during the writing/filming.

Consider the entire snowy mountain sequence - 20-25 minutes long, and you never know what happens there. OK, there's an avalanche, but where is that, and where are the characters in relation to it? No, just an avalanche (even poorly made, like taken from a Discovery documentary or such). Also there's a lot of shooting out there, but you never know who's shooting at who (where are they in relation which each other).

Also, the former wife is possibly the worst boogie(wo)man ever, and drops the movie down by her own.

Di Caprio seemed to have had a vacation of his own. He seems rather absent, having a hard time trying to adjust to what happens. Perhaps the former wife had the most of him...

On the other hand, you'll VERY MUCH like every sequence with Joseph Gordon-Levitt in it. Yes, even when he talks. I would suggest he should had been lead on this one, but I'm afraid the former wife would have had the most of him too...

Superb music, and probably the only movie where music won't stop to change tune according to the movie scene, meaning the composer succeeded in finding tunes that fit whatever happens on the screen, even when the location, or the events as such, change, and that tune thusly can go as far as 8 minutes (sometimes a beautiful crescendo).

When present, superb SFX, but they are rather rare.

Even the ending is bad - by a long shot. Should had been the best, jaw- dropping, part of the movie, instead it's the worst (OK, except the snowy mountains sequence).",5
"Despite all the talented people involved, 'Contagion' turned out to be a boring mess.

There is nothing remotely impressive about the plot. The characters are incredibly cliché, boring and flat. You have a few responsible but powerless scientists, some selfish dumb-asses that will mess everything up, a worrying father with an annoying teen-aged child, etc. In other words, all the typical people that you can find in any similar movies. Then they are put into situations ranging from family affairs to political conspiracies, which are all painfully predictable and more cliché than the characters themselves. Even when there are some more intriguing plot lines, they will often be abruptly ended in the most disappointing and anticlimactic manners. Consequently, the whole movie feels like just a long list of possible scenarios, not a meaningful and complete story. Furthermore, it's not even merely entertaining since most of the controversial things are not shown but awkwardly told through dialogues, something you would only expect from cheap TV movies, not from a movie with 5 Oscar winners and a bunch of other A-list stars.

The directing is even more disappointing. I guess the director, Steven Soderbergh, was trying to make this look more realistic, like a documentary, but the result is an awkward-looking film with static and prolonged shots that sometimes feel like a long corporate advertisement.

The acting, on the other hand, is not too bad. Most of the cast deliver, despite being given very little room. The only complain I have regards this aspect is about Jude Law since his performance seems way over the top compared to the rest.

'Contagion' is perhaps somewhat successful at portraying a more realistic image of a world-wide disaster, but that doesn't make it a successful or interesting movie. Instead, it's just really disjointed and pointless, almost feels like a bunch of clichés from many previous disaster movies crammed together.",4
"I'm a big fan of Martin Scorsese and Leo Di Caprio and hence I was excited about seeing this film.......how disappointed I was. Overly long at near on 3 hours with not much to keep the viewer interested. Di Caprio's character was unlikable and had no depth. The whole thing seemed like a rip off of Wall Street and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas which are far superior films. The only highlight of this film was Jonah Hill's performance.

The ending made me think that this film was all part of Belfort's con and the viewer had been taken for a ride. Please don't believe the hype, this film is very poor and a big waste of time.",2
"Very heavy and very great, with short bursts of humor, and the actors, all of them, did a remarkable job.

And i don't know if it sounds wrong when i say this(?), but it felt very refreshing to see a multicultural group of characters with all kinds of status having all the same issues, just being friends and working together, without mentioning ethnicity once.

It feels like each and every show just loves to make a thing of that nowadays and that's just weird and counterproductive to me.",8
"""Superbad"" is one flick as you watch you feel the far out and crazy fun as it's a typical teen comedy that features the themes of fitting in with having sex, getting girls and having a party in high school before a college send off. The movie has two high school seniors Seth(the funny Jonah Hill) and Evan(Michael Cera) who go thru these same things mentioned in the meantime they having a ball doing it as the party and alcohol is so fun it's like a wild night something similar to ""Porky's"" or ""Animal House""! Also of note is an early and young role with Bill Hader(""HBO's"" ""Barry"") as Officer Slater a cool laid back cop! Overall good teen film to watch for feel good fun.",6

"I am here to review the umbrella academy. having binge watched the whole series over a weekend, to keep the story fresh in my mind, I have come to the conclusion that it is a semi-solid story that is let down by the characters. they seems to be a rehash of the magicians cast of characters. Klaus is Elliot, luther is quinn, 5 is penny, etc. once you get some time in the series, it does have some standouts, ex, hazel and cha cha are great. ellen paige does a good job as vanya. I hope the second season delves a little more in character development since the series tried to cram a lot of info in the first couple of episodes.",8
"It's difficult to see this as a story on its own.

The first movie was a brilliant black comedy.

This one .... I'd have called it an entertaining slapstick-ish comedy were it not for the first movie and the character that links both movies together.

The movie starts well enough and gets thoroughly entertaining throughout its middle part yet everything gets thrown away just at the end. The end just makes no sense - a throwaway irony given the main character's remark at the stupidity of the surrounding characters.

The story itself is smart enough but fails to come together in the end and instead blurts out a totally Deus Ex Machina, unforeseen and illogical ending for no apparent reason.",4
"Does Hollywood mock the general public?

Were no good movies made that year at all?

Can marketing push any kind of useless scenario down our throats?

Well, at least the reviews don't seem to rigged if I see all the people that took the time to explain what a dissappointment this movie was.

An unoriginal, therefor not bad, idea that was worked out to long in endless plottwists and long scenes.

It seems like they let a couple of teenagers without any critical advice write this movie.

A pity for the cast, because some actors did an excellent job.

But good acting can clearly not right a wrong scenario..",3
"I have no background with the source material. I watched and judged this show simply on its own merit. It starts with an amazing first episode that got me so excited. It seemed like a much more high quality version of the walking dead, especially with the awesome one-take scenes that reminded me of True Detective. I already thought Pedro Pascal was a star, and he continues to prove it.

After episode one, we meander in these super boring episodes where nothing happens. There are two entire episodes that do zero, ZERO, to move the plot forward. At the end of the episode, we are in the exact same place story-wise as the start of the episode. I understand the importance of building characters. But we've seen numerous examples of shows that are able to have character-building, plot movement, action scenes, and so much more, all within a single episode.

We meet new characters but as soon as we get attached, they're no longer in the show for one reason or another. All of the ""shocking"" moments are things I've seen many times before. There isn't anything special about this show aside from Pedro Pascal. I forced myself to finish this season and will not be watching season 2.

HBO was already on my ####-list after cancelling one of the best shows on TV in Westworld. It may not have been as amazing in the later seasons, but they only wanted one more season to conclude the story. After learning about the merger with Discovery, and what these companies do to slash costs, regardless of what the fans want, I'm borderline done with HBO. The only thing remaining that I have interest in is Raised by Wolves. They'll probably cancel that too. They're even removing past season of HBO original content. Smh. They were once at the top of the mountain but continue to tumble to the bottom through mismanagement and greed. (1 viewing, 3/14/2023)",3
"The 'plot' of chasing a monster makes no sense, but even despite that , mostly the script is fairly OK.

Too bad no one in the whole thing can act a lick. Ot at least any of the principals. Ortega has some great lines, but oh man she can't act like at all. They would be great in the hands of someone else.

Ricci (who was obviously amazing as a child actress) apparently is (permanently?) stuck in 'Yellowjackets' mode now. Even the costuming is the same.

Wednesday's roomy is quite good as are some of the other sidekicks.

And Danny Elfman (who I am a huge fan of) ...this score is overall terrible as well, except here and there there's some good bits on Viola.

It feels like a cynical exercise to make a couple bucks honestly.

Re-Watch 'Addams Family Values' instead.",2

"I think the movie is confusing, is it beautiful or not, it's The film in general is very calm and does not contain any kind of excitement, but you will wait for what will happen next to the example.

"GRAVITY directed by the Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron from a script by Cuaron in collaboration with his son Jonas Cuaron, is a luminous film with fine performances by Sandra Bullock as Dr. Ryan Stone, a Bio-Medical Engineer on her first outing into outer space, accompanied by George Clooney as the veteran, wisecracking Astronaut, Matt Kowalski who is her guide on this mission working outside the shuttle Explorer trying to fix the Hubble Telescope. Soon the idyllic beauty and silence of the deep blackness, which was only punctuated by soft far-off sounds of the other crew members is threatened by debris rushing at them from a Russian Satellite test gone awry. Suddenly the ""heavenly"" environment has changed from peaceful quietude to thundering menace.

What happens to these two protagonists when they are stranded – two specks in the vast universe, separated from any contact with Mission Control, contributes to the intensity and apprehension that we feel witnessing their dilemma. Cuaron's spectacular visuals heighten our awareness of the isolation of Stone and Kowalksi drifting in the infinite sublimity and mystery of outer space, tethering it to the existential detachment and solitariness that we experience as mortals.

Through the breathtaking cinematography of Emmanuel Lubezki we view images of the Earth as seen from a Space station, the rising of the sun, the topography of lands and water masses that become abstract faraway places of light and texture. The special effects in this movie are astonishing. From the balletic, slow spinning dance of the two actors, choreographed so that the weightless movement of objects float around them in continuous motion, dizzying, but slowed down enough so we can observe without getting dizzy ourselves, to the interior of the intricate space modules with gadgetry that is continually buzzing and flashing incomprehensible flickering flares reinforcing our sense of dread.

I loved the cinematic moments when there was an absence of sound, periodically interspersed with Steven Price's music. I wished there had been less dialogue, which was often inane and flippant, piercing the delicacy of the mood. Dr. Ryan Stone loves the ""silence"" but regrettably we do get the talky, joking Matt Kowalski - the ""regular guy"" with a sacrificial heart of gold - chattering away bringing us out of our reverie and back down to earth. Perhaps that was the intent of Alfonso Cuaron – as life both in the cosmos and on terra firma are a mix of the transcendent and the commonplace.",7

"I've given 3 stars, one star for each $10 million of the cost, and also because I found this production as a musical third rate. The colors, sets and film shots were interesting,even imaginative, but beyond that, I was disappointed that this was the best Hollywood could come up with in the musical genre.

The script had abrupt transitions between scenes and time lapses. The dance scenes by professionals were choppy and didn't show dance moves. The story didn't get started until halfway through the two hours.

The scriptwriters took the easy way out toward the end by skipping over five years that I could imagine were more dramatic and emotional than the movie up to that point. The viewer is cheated out of better story lines, with no transition at all to bring the movie to its conclusion. The last half-hour had more flair and drama than the rest of the movie.

Standards have been lowered, and the younger generation must see oldies to get educated. There was nothing exciting or inspirational in the dancing or the music as performed by amateur leads. In all of this world are these the best musical leads that could be found? You can find better singers, pianists and dancers on TV competition shows or in community theater. Were these the best actors for the leads? Emma Stone is charming as an actress, but Gosling's profile was the only attractive attribute he has going. He had no expression on his face for two hours, other than sullen.

It's very impressive that stars with no background in music and dance could take a crash course to prepare for this movie, but the results were passable, only.

If the director wanted to show how average people sing, dance,and play instruments, he succeeded. But the public deserves to see and appreciate the best musical talents around.",3
"I was curious about this show because of the premise. I have to say though that the first two episodes were tedious. It does not pick up until episode 4. (Episode 3 was just okay.) The middle of the show is fine but the ending devolves into the usual cartoonish super hero action movie drivel.

This show could have been so much better than it was. It did not need some villain plopped in without motivation. Some reviews emphasize the shows handling of mental illness but I found that handling quite pedestrian. I suppose if you don't live with mental illness or have nobody in your life that has mental illness, the show might seem sophisticated, but it is not.

I was planing to take a look at the Mandalorian after this, but I think I'm just going to skip it and cancel my Disney+ subscription.",5

"I saw this film recently without seeing any critical reviews or any vibe on here. Bearing in mind some of Fincher's previous work I was a bit disappointed with the film. I was somewhat surprised therefore to see it sitting proudly in the Top 250.

The film follows the real life case of the serial killer labelled Zodiac who terrorised the San Fancisco area with a series of murders in the age of flower power. The main focus on the film is the investigation of the murders and I found the thick end of 3 hours a bit on the long side. Anyway it's clearly the case that lots of people enjoyed the film, so you'll need to check it out yourselves. I'll be watching it again when it's on TV to see if there's more to the film than I saw on my first viewing.",5
"Here is my opinion not based on anyone's review influence since I wanted to watch the movie at enjoy it or making my own opinions on it.

It's a little bit boring with not many very horror scenes, I expected a little bit more from the movie since I saw many promotions for it in 2019.

Again this is based on my own opinions after watching the movie, at the end there happens too many things after each other so I couldn't progress each scenes so fast as I usually can in movies I watch.

But like I said everyone has their own opinions/ taste in movies/TV shows which makes me say that everyone shouldn't let themselves get influenced by reviews since it's the own opinions from other people.",5
"I found this remake quite boring and lacking excitement. I don't think they chose the right actors to voiceover and the film to me lacked emotion and was quite bla all the way through.

"This is quite and ambitious and expensive production; visually not so bad, historically quite inaccurate, a little over the top acting here and there, and if you make it to the end, well, it just doesn't hit the mark....fails to actually showcase the significance and impact of the events.

With that said, bale is simply over the top-not that ken miles was a well known personality, but his inconsistant portrayal gives not a revealing glimpse into the man, the driver, the husband and father that it purports to show, nor does damon do much more than chew gum, and, its just possible, truly possible, that given the script and the writing and the dialogue thrown out there, a couple of unknowns or barely knowns might have been way more effective (so much is expected from top actors like damon and bale that they are set up to fail from the beginning, as they are a major distraction from the events as they supposedly unfolded {see ToraToraTora}...) then theres the cinematography...and one must wonder if cinematography is itself so boring these days that cinematographers have to find a way to be part of the story by shooting dizzying sequences one finds confusing, murky and dark. What ever happened to simply setting a camera up, bring it into focus and let the action happen within the marks?

"This Sandler/Aniston pairing is a harmlessly enjoyable romp, with believable chemistry between the two leads. It plays nicely on the murder mystery genre, complete with exotic location (Monaco) and a rogues gallery of plausible suspects. Sandler's character works well as the comfortable husband of 15 years, the kind who would forego brand name anti-histamine tablets for the sake of 50 cents.

The problem, if you could call it that, is in the largely unimaginative handling of the material. It's a straightforward . . . er . . . murder mystery, albeit played more for laughs. This causes a few plausibility problems for Mr and Mrs Spitz, who seem largely unphased by the brutal murder they've witnessed, along with their implication as suspects.

There's an underlying theme of marital disappointment which never really gets out of the dock. Overall, Sandler and Aniston aren't in the slightest bit stretched by their roles.

My wife enjoyed this a lot. I thought it was okay. 6 / 10 is about right.",6

"Oh dear. A woefully poor screenplay spoils what could have been a great tale. Its derivative tripe. So much has been borrowed (and not given back) from recent trendy films, that some scenes actually feel like watching Star Wars, The Matrix, and Equilibrium, to name a few.

What makes this worse is that the whole story is worked to a backdrop sentiment of 'the criminal justice system is the only way and although fighting crime is good we must work within the law and legal system'. My beef here is that its a story about a vigilante!! Why does Hollywood feel the need to ruin such a story by plastering it with political correctness. Are we scared to make a film where the viewer can work this out for himself? OK so this is not the only film to have been spoilt by over-wrapping in morale values but it was so blatant it scares me.

Christian bale is the one saving grace about this film but even his acting is half-baked at times, delivering sentences as he didn't know what the meaning was. I do wonder why high calibre a-list actors are so congruent with delivering such empty stereotypical lines in the first place. I guess I could say that 'money talks' but the likes of Liam Nelson and Michael Cane must surely be offered more substantial scripts.

Does anyone think that ninjas teach sword fighting with actual swords? (training in the style of 'I want to kill you with a samurai sword'). I was led to believe that ninja gurus were very wise. Perhaps they would opt for blunt sticks for maybe the first couple of lessons. Once Bruce had learnt these kung-fu skills, I thought we were going to be treated to cleverly choreographed ninja-style fighting on the streets of Gotham. Fans of the original TV Series (or even the comic book) will recall the many elaborate punch-ups. All we had was a bat head jump in and out of shot for a second together with a crunch sound or two (Whilst we're on special effect I should also mention there was also a fair bit of up and down on a rope type stunt work). But why learn the Kung-Fu? Maybe I was expecting too much of this type of film. Maybe fans of 'the bat' will like it. Maybe I should stop moaning. Its ironic however, that a film about 'controlled anger' left me with exactly that feeling during the film and writing this review.",3
"If you want to see a very creative, smartly-cast, visually-stylish, amazingly-musically-scored, atmospheric, superfunny comedy with a neat murder mystery, look no further than ""Only murders in the building"". It's very pleasant viewing, just a delight to watch (and listen to). My opinion is also that its dramatic elements range from inspired and excellent to lame and paint-by-the-numbers, and the acting slips on occasion. Now, my cultural-geographic and age-related demographic profile means that I only know Selena Gomez of the three leads, I've listened to a few of her songs, and I like at least one ('Good for you"", with ADollar-SignAP Rocky), she's a perfectly decent singer. She's a pretty decent actress too, as it turns out, but she stumbles at times and needs to develop a bit more range. People sometimes seem to think that playing an emotionally-reserved character means being a bad actor, which is absolutely dumb, but Selena's not entirely without fault here. To be fair, I also would say that about Steve Martin, and he has decades of experience, and as such fewer excuses. In the meantime, while Martin Short's character has cringier moments, for the most part he's an absolute joy to behold, a charming, jovial aesthete and wheeler-dealer of the art world, a formidable theatre director past his prime. He outshines the other two a little bit for me, I guess I'm a ""Putnut"" by the show's own terminology.

This series is in a way a love-letter to New York's elite classes' scene, where intelligentsia and bourgeoisie mix. I'm not sure whether I'll ever watch through ""Russian doll"", which taps into the same captivating surroundings, while a seemingly worse series, but this one surely sates my appetite for a while. The premise is as follows: three ""bohemian layabouts"" (if you know, you know), two of them very elderly, live in a big housing complex, the Arconia. They share a passion for ""true crime"" podcasts and, befriending each other by chance, decide to launch their own when a murder occurs in the building. They won't cover any other murders, ""only murders in the building"", see? In a way, the tidal wave of podcasting is presented as a modern reimagining of the classic ""American Dream"", or ""conquering New York"", where even your average Jane, or some have-been down-on-their-luck losers can have a shot at grabbing a huge audience, and captivating people's minds. To be fair, the podcasting stuff is more of a backdrop: it informs a lot of things, but the series is very liberal with assumed time-skips, so we mostly see the sleuthing, not the recording, and a lot of events happen off-screen. But this unlikely trio not only desperately tries to solve the case (or figure out whether there is at all a case), they also legitimately develop chemistry, and help each other grow. Here the show loses me a little bit: Mabel's story is interesting (Zoe is a great character with a very cool plotline, mostly told in the most creative episode of the show with minimal spoken dialogue), but is executed a bit handwavily, and Charles' story occasionally is quite lame and cringy. The actual, central mystery is, however, pretty neat, even if there are some simplistic, cliche-ish parts. Something to fix for the upcoming Season 2, hopefully. They have a true jewel with this series, it just needs more refinement.

Finally, as to the overall presentation of the show: the colourful, stylised intro sequences and outro stills are great, and the music that plays sporadically throughout the series and during some of the outros is absolutely euphoric - outros of episodes 2 and 3 especially brought me total bliss, I really gotta find the OST on YouTube. Additionally, a neat little detail is that episodes typically begin with some abstract ponderings by a character, typically a supporting one, new each time. It's not a hugely important detail, but I found it a nice bit of flair.",7

"At Fantastic Beasts we got a long awaited return to Harry Potter universe. At the beginning everything seems to be as it should be. Movie looks an sound great (even with short score from HP movies), but somehow the original feeling blaze with its absence. Set and scenery looks great, actors are good and even era of 1920's recession be present, but somehow it all feels just too shallow. It doesn't help even how hard you try to believe and imagine that the beasts are just magical beasts. There are simply too may characters and their essence looks too plastic. Even their absence as nature conversation point of view feels vain. They are too external to feel any sympathy for them.

Eddie Redmayne is a good actor, but as a role of Scamander he feels just like a dizzy freak. It may be a original meaning of character, but to me, I haven't read original story, he feels too light headed character. Movie ha s a lot of scenery from original Harry Potter movies, which is per se a good thing, but at the other hand it excluded some of the audience, who are not so familiar with original movie universe. Unfortunately movie feels too shallow and unclear and it never rises to level of original Harry Potter movies. The biggest filament for it may be J.K Rowling's role as a author and screenwriter. I'm sure that all characters are familiar to her, but sometimes it is better to see all of it out of the box and hand the screen writing to someone else, not so familiar with original story.

Hopefully with sequel makers has a courage to challenge the audience to re familiarize for new characters. Fantastic Beasts surely is a satisfying experience to all of the biggest fans of HP universe. I haven' t read all the books tens of times with different languages as the biggest fans of the series and I have to be content of movies and to me Fantastic Beasts is a little too hard to focus, even the illusion is made as well it is. Digital character are just too much and vain. Unfortunately, but true to me.",6

"In the present, Steve and Natasha and some special SHIELD unit are sent to rescue a ship and hostages. Lots of violent fights ensue. Natasha disobeys Steve's orders and instead downloads some information. Fury can't access the drive's data which makes him suspicious. He introduces Steve to a secret SHIELD project called Insight. It includes overly armed hellicarriers that can will orbit earth 24/7 and eliminate future threats before they happen thanks to having all data on everyone. Fury meets with some SHIELD higher up and gets him to delay the launch of the project.

As he leaves the meeting, Fury is attacked by police and some mean guy with a bionic arm--the Winter Soldier. He makes it to Steve's apartment but is again shot and dies. He warns Steve in time that SHIELD is compromised and to trust no one. When Steve refuses to tell the higherup what Fury revealed to him he becomes enemy #1. Now all of SHIELD is after Steve, Natasha, and an army guy Steve has befriended. Natasha and Steve discover where the information on the drive was created. They travel to a bunker and find some very old technology there and discover project Hydra which is basically a rogue division of SHIELD which brought about Insight and aims to restore world order by sacrificing liberty. They now have to stop project Insight from launching by replacing 3 PC boards on the carriers. Of course they'll have to face the Winter Soldier. And the higherup too is revealed to be up to no good. In the end we get a couple of surprises among lots of fighting and carnage. And as always some connection with the other Marvel stories and an ending that sets up things for yet another movie.

After the poor Captain America I and the disappointing Thor II, I wasn't very optimistic about this one, considering that like Thor II it's directed by people with no movie experience. But this one is better than both of those movies. The action is excellent, the effects impressive. Acting isn't all that great, especially Johannson doesn't give it her best. The movie is a bit too long. But best of all is the story and how relevant it's for today's situation. I'm glad Hollywood is finally addressing the issues and not ignoring them for political ideology. Does keeping tabs on all citizens, storing all their personal information, monitoring their communications, using fear to limit liberties, and going after people for crimes they allegedly may commit sound familiar? It should. That's what is also at stake in this movie. Redford character's gives a grotesque calculus- he thinks he can keep 7 billion people ""safe"" by killing 20 million. I'm glad this Captain America is a defender of liberty first and foremost.",9
"I picked up on this show quite late because I saw that it was seven seasons which quite much compared to the other Marvel shows I watched first on Disney+. The show drags on for quite long, but it did not waste my time at all. It kept me locked to the screen whenever I watched it. The story is very captivating, and the arcs of the characters throughout the show were very satisfying even with the show not being afraid to be a bit experimental. As the seasons go on, the better the show gets. I just cannot put into words how phenomenal this show is and it should get more recognition. I seriously pity those who stopped watching this show during the beginning seasons. Their loss.",10
"I have to admit, I'm somewhat of a Spider-man freak, and I also have to admit that, as much as I did like the original Spidey flick in 2002, I really thought that the visual effects were just disappointing. That was not enough to weigh down the entire film, however, and now, Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and James Franco alongside Sam Raimi at the helm are back for Spider-Man 2. I went into this movie wanting to enjoy it. Wanting to eat it alive. When I left, I was positive that Raimi had delivered exactly what I wanted.

First off, Spider-Man 2 is much more than a simple comic-book-turned-action film...it is a real movie. The first entry had Peter Parker trying to deal with these newfound powers while at the same time combating the menacing Green Goblin. In this film, we have Peter Parker going through a complex of whether or not he really needs to be Spider-Man while also trying to reveal his love for Mary Jane, pay the bills in the crummy apartment that he lives in, try desperately to be on time for any job and make sure that does well in college...oh yeah, and there is a newly created baddie who goes by the name ""Doc Ock"" rummaging through the streets trying hard to finish his once prominent project surrounding nuclear fusion and four mechanical arms that are impervious to extreme heat or magnetism. There is just so much to work with in this film as opposed to the relatively two-dimensional plot of the first.

Spider-Man 2 doesn't rush the viewer into the Spidey-patented action. It eases the audience into this world where Peter Parker has become a real character with real problems (very faithful to the comics, if I may add). Peter Parker is experiencing a time when it feels like the world is crashing down around him. He feels that his love for Mary Jane and the relationship between them is waning and because of his split-responsibility as Spider-Man, he is late for everyone and everything that he needs to attend, including Mary Jane's starring role in a play. Meanwhile, through all of this stress, his Spidey powers begin to fail him and (I have to mention this) the audience is treated to one of the best scenes in the movie as Spidey is forced to take an elevator complete with the sarcasm of Hal Sparks from I Love the 80's.

Doc Ock is a great villain and is not as forced as the Green Goblin was in the last film. Everything about Spider-Man 2 is fluid and flows exceptionally well and I was really impressed to see how much better the villain works as a side story than as a major wedge in the main plot. I would applaud this with all six of my arms if I were Doc Ock, but I am not, so I will have to settle for a simple IMDb.com review.

9/10",8
"The first few episodes were intriguing at best. It was at the fast forward point that everything completely crashed and burned. I'm finding that this show is amounting to nothing more than a soap opera set in medieval times. It boggles me that by episode 7 we have a crew of characters who are 100% unlikeable and sorely underdeveloped. Where's the honor? Who's the badass? Who's the one with humor and wit? We've got a crew of greedy, whining losers who are greedy, whining losers for... what? Their motives are weak and fleeting; their actions are just flat out annoying. Which deplorable loser am I supposed to be rooting for and why?

GOT had the good, the bad, and the ugly fleshed out to the T. I could appreciate and empathize with Cersei or Joffrey just as much as I could with Arya or Jon. What can I appreciate about any of the character's we have in this show?

Okay, that's enough. Overall, I'm thoroughly surprised at how well received this show appears to be in the ratings. As a GOT fan, it's a major let down.",4
"The first and second seasons were interesting to me But from these two seasons onwards, the story line became very repetitive And every season from episode 1 to episode 9, all characters in the story are trying To find out who is bringing these troubles to them And in the last part of the season, they destroy the bad guy But in the last moment of the movie, we realize that the bad guy is still alive When is this ridiculous game going to end?",3
"Watching John Wick: Chapter 2. I was really looking forward to sitting down to a nice meal and watching a sequel with the understanding that it may not be as good as the first. They never are.

Sadly Stahelski must have spent 90% of the budget on the location and a big party overlooking Rome with hookers and cocaine. The writing is so bad I think they owed the writer money from a previous production. They also owe money to the supporting actors, cinematographers, sets, costume, lighting, sound, fight scene choreography, any other choreography, editing, music, vehicle support, stunts and pyrotechnics. In fact the whole movie is such a clustermuck that I think they may have even scrimped on catering, assistants and accomodation too.

The problem is I'm 60 minutes in (it's a train wreck) and IMDB says it's 122 minutes long. I'm curious if it gets any worse.

Cannot believe there is actually a John Wick 3.",2
"Ani is annoying but she grows on you and the show gets better. Must watch, they wrapped the show beautifully.",8
"This movie was simply unfunny. Sure, there were a few chuckles, but overall, I was just sitting there bored, shocked that this extremely popular movie was so flat and...well, just bad.

I am a pretty big fan of all the actors involved, but I can't believe they settled for such a lifeless script.

So much great talent was wasted so horribly. Oh, and shame on everyone who jumped on this movies bandwagon just because of the people in it, and the great reviews. You guys costed me $15 and about 2 hours.

please, just take my word for it.

Save your money, save your time, and just do something more fun.",2
"I love Steve Martin but this is so lame and contrived for wealthy New Yorkers. I feel like I'm watching an old peoples version of Nancy Drew in an rccentric hotel. I started watching for great actors, but not so great in this seies.",6
"What is the point of this film? This is probably the most violent movie I have ever seen. Although other movies show more blood and gore, this is pretty much non-stop, with no real story. I wasn't surprised to read it is a video game because that's all it seems to be--shoot, shoot, shoot, with some punches and an occasional knife.

Despite all the action/violence, I nearly fell asleep. I only stuck it out because I was hoping there would be a point to it. There wasn't.

The site says I need to say more in order to have this review printed--seems silly, but OK--I DID NOT LIKE THIS MOVIE. IT IS POINTLESS. IT IS VIOLENT. IT IS COMPLETELY UNBELIEVABLE.

My advice--if you are a kid who plays video games, you might like this movie.",3
"This wasn't good at all. It was cringy and I couldn't connect with the characters. It seemed like parts of the film have been missing, that they skipped something, I don't know how to describe it. It was definitely leaking something and that resulted in this mess. Breadly was mumbling the whole movie, Gaga's acting wasn't on point, a lot of flaws here. The end could have been touching if the rest of the movie was at least ok. I'm disappointed and surprised that it is this well received. But hey, we can't all have the same tastes I guess...",3
"I was expecting far better.

This was a dreary plodding movie, with nothing much happening until the last 15 minutes or so.

Nice special effects, and some genuine humour, but you have to wait for it.",5
"I've watched all the films and all the series, some have been good, some ok, some have been drivel. So I seem to be watching marvel series out of some sense of completion or masochism.

Certainly with this one I had zero idea of what was going on. It certainly felt worthy, and ticked the boxes, and was all very dramatic, but I think I fell asleep at various parts in all the episodes. Maybe that didn't help with my understanding of what was going on, but I had no desire to rewind and find out was happening.

But at least I completed it. Now on to the inevitable next one in the mcu.... I'm a sucker for punishment I guess.",4
"The plot moves quickly and keeps one's interest, and the special effects are cool. Those are the reasons why I voted as high as 5 on this very violent movie. I found it disconcerting that lead characters wear black trenchcoats, sunglasses and combat boots while they indiscriminately kill innocent people especially in light of the recent shootings at Littleton, Colorado. I suppose there may be people who think that human conscience is not dulled by viewing of this kind of gratuitous murder. As a counselor I cannot agree, and therefore I cannot recommend this movie.",5
"Apart from the acting this movie really sucks. boaring as hell, i cant belive that it is made by Tarantino",3
"Well, if you enjoyed the first movie in the franchise, then you would also like the 2018 sequel "" Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald"" from writer J. K. Rowling and director David Yates.

I never got around to watching this movie before now in 2022, as I didn't really enjoy the first movie when I saw it back in 2016. But I opted to give the franchise a new chance, and returned to watch the first movie again, and now made it to ""Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald"" four years after it was released.

First of all, I will say that ""Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald"" definitely has a darker atmosphere and feel to it, and it seems to be aiming at a more adult audience in comparison to the 2016 movie. And that was definitely something that appealed to me.

However, the storyline just felt somewhat disjoined and erratic. At times I felt like I was just watching a collection of random scenes that were shot and then put into a movie narrative. While there definitely was an overall red thread in the storyline, I just felt that the movie went somewhat off course a couple of time. But it made for an adequate viewing experience. In a sense, then I was left with a sense of most of the things thrown at me on the screen through the disarrayed storyline never was brought full circle, so it seems there were lots of loose ends here.

It certainly was nice to see returning cast members reprise their roles, as it added a sense of continuity to the story and helped establish the world and the characters within the world. However, we are introduced to so many characters throughout the 2 hours and 14 minutes that the movie ran for, many of which we just superficially get to know. It was nice to see Johnny Depp in the movie, just a shame that he wasn't given more on-screen time.

Visually then ""Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald"" was a great movie, just as the 2016 movie also was. You are in for a great CGI presentation here, as the effects are realistic and look really good. And that is, of course, really important for a movie that has magic as it focal point.

""Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald"" is a movie that definitely will please fans of the ""Harry Potter"" universe and fans of the 2016 movie.

My rating of ""Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald"" lands on a six out of ten stars.",6
"Too long, too much unnecessary narrative, a heavy reliance on CGI and the undeniable reality that this is merely setting up a better film yet to come. A desperately sad missed opportunity. Too much effort went into creating something beautiful, over something interesting. Dull.",4
"I got passes to the pre release of Spider-man 2 here in Dubai and I watched it today. I must say I am well impressed. This movie is what every comic book fan has been waiting for. I've been disappointed by all the superhero movies in the past with the exception of Superman. But this movie was amazing. I sat there through the entire movie wanting more and more. The action sequences in the movie are great and spiderman no longer looks fake. I especially enjoyed the fight scene on the train. MARVELous.

I would recommend this film to everybody. and I give it a 8 out of 10! Way to go Raimi.",8
"Barbie provided the ying to Oppenheimer's yang. It was significantly better than I anticipated due to it's artistic filming, fun casting, and plot. I expected a 3/10 and it was twice as nice, coming in at a solid 6/10.

What to like: The sets were a fun mix of real word items and ""Barbified"" backdrops/objects. This quickly normalized the weird blend of a live-action movie based on a toy. The star-studded cast was fantastic! It was fun to watch so many familiar faces in such silly roles.

What not to like: The part where Barbie failed was in it's preachiness. I'm fine with films having an underlying message- and I even agree with the overall message it seems Barbie was trying to make. America Ferrera's rant towards the end was a bit too heavy/angry for me and made it seem that women had cornered the market on every hardship imaginable. This angry turn made the movie far less fun.",6
"I see that there are many reviews for this, with high praise and people saying how moved they were. Films are indeed subjective, and we revel in the creativity and imagination of those who strive to make them. Thus, since opinions are subjective, I'll say that when I think of truly great films, gems like ""Citizen Kane,"" ""The Godfather"" and ""Vertigo"" come to mind. But this? I'm sorry - I just don't see what the fuss is all about. I cannot believe this won a Academy Award for Best Picture. It's an endless, meaningless stream of consciousness that I suppose is meant to convey some sort of higher meaning to the viewer. All it conveyed to me is that time is valuable and this film wasted two-and-a-half hours if it.",3
"As I recall this is the first time I've ever paused a Ridley Scott movie and gone back to it the next day. But on this occasion I did. It's missing that pin that keeps me stuck to my seat. And then it became obvious..... it's missing that chill factor- not the feel good factor. It's missing, but never seen, the grotesque surrounding our man.",3
"This move has to be one of the best effort from SRK. I would say this should be among his top three performance. But can't say the same for Karan, as he tried the same topic over and over again. On concept of the topic I would give Karan 6/10, as he is repeating (New York, Kurbaan). Also I think we can find more than 20 films in similar plot released after 9/11. So nothing new in the film. Also I think the film doesn't have the any entertainment aspect. It can be describe as a journey of an innocent man to prove that he also belong to the majority of the world's population who doesn't support religious terrorism rather than a love story. The music of the film is OK but not like KKHA or DDLG or even KKKG. Kajok is OK as the film is all about SRK and his journey. This fill may not have huge mass fowling but SRK effect should pull this off. Every one can watch this movie and can enjoy it without pre-expectation of it being a DDLG or KKHA.",8
"I like this series. Some good actors and a good premise. There is a major flaw that slows this series down. There is too much attention paid to the two main characters. Even the ""subplots"" of the other characters all revolve around Matthew and Diana. No one has a life except one that focuses on reactions to them and what they are doing. Adding some interesting other plotlines would help this series immensely. The minor characters only serve as a foil to push the story of Matthew and Diana forward. They become cardboard characters, either supporting them or against them. So when Matthew and Diana are waiting for the other characters to push their timeline forward, it can get tedious. There are a few hopeful possibilities. For instance, the demon/witch who is pregant and her husband. Satu and her agenda. The way the story is now it makes the love story between Matthew and Diana a little too precious, particularly when hardly anyone does any action that is not in relation to them. The writers have a blind spot.",8
Such a simple story which is well executed. Jitendra is perfectly cast and does complete justice to his role. It gives an insight into the functioning of village administration. You cannot miss this one.,8
"This movie is messy, frenetic, incoherent and it tries so hard to tell a story. Unfortunately for Jim Carrey, this is just one of many serious roles he chose that just didn't pan out. It works so arduously to be clever and touching but it isn't either. I got the point of the story, and I understood the direction and feel of the movie, I just didn't care. I was told by numerous people that they thought of me while watching this movie, and I had to see it. I wish I hadn't, honestly. Just a long, boring disappointment.

Clementine Kruczynski (Kate Winslet) was an unlikeable character. Nothing about her or her actions made me care about her in the slightest.

I just kept wishing the memory-erasing technology would slip, and wipe Joel Barish's (Jim Carrey) slate completely clean, he'd forget he was a character in a story, and the movie would end.",2
"Another computer generated Hollywood trash movie. I made it through 20 minutes and couldn't handle it. The beasts....same old, same old that we've seen for the past 25 years. Story, script, acting, is horrendous. This will appeal to anyone under 12 years old. Don't bother.",1
"I don't know the original series I just knew it from Netflix 1-They didn't mention the year and how they built those ships 2-why they chosen this family?

I don't know if they will answer later because im in the first episode i give it 10 because i like the story and i wait for story like this for years i hope they will answer everything later Thanks Netflix",6
"Civil War is truly one of a kind. 5/5 Stars. 100% flawless in my books. Need to see more classics like these. It's full of action, adventure humor, superb story-line and has an awesome twist. The best part of this movie is seeing the majority of the Marvel Crime Fighting Heroes kicking ass and ""DUKING IT OUT"" against each other. Reminds me of Super Smash Brothers for Nintendo. SWEEEEEETT!!!!",10
A good thriller movie has been a long due in kollywood! This movie has filled the void with a fantastic screen play and storyline! A great work by director and his team. This movie will be a benchmark for vishnu vishal ! Must watch !,8
"This so far has been the best movie I have seen all year...it was all I expected and more. Better than the 2002 hit, this Spider-Man is well worth seeing. A plot I was not expecting when I saw the previews helped too, as it continually surprised me with where it went and where it was going. The special effects are top notch, as was the acting, and generally everything about the movie was just great. Not the typical summer action movie, this movie had heart and just has to be one of the best comic book movies made if not the best. The story has Peter Parker/Spider-man really having a tough go of it as of late. He is late for classes; he cannot hold on to a job, he is neglecting his friends all while trying to lead a double life. Meanwhile, a brilliant scientist is developing a process to make energy. Of course, this is Doctor Otto Octavious. During the two hours you are in for a ride both action wise and emotional. Spidey loses his powers because of all the problems he is having in his life personally and the good Doctor has an accident that causes him to fuse with metal arms he created to handle the unsafe fusion process. The highlights of this one include a very good bank heist by Doc Ock (dubbed that by JJ Jameson) and the best action sequence in any comic book adaptation a fight that starts on a clock tower and ends on a speeding train. Doctor Octopus is a definite improvement over the Green Goblin as he has much cooler fights with Spidey, plus he looks and fights more like the villain in the comic than the Goblin did. The focus in this one, however, is mostly on Peter Parker/Spider-Man as he tries to deal with the enormous powers he is given and trying to find a way to deal with his love for Mary Jane Watson a girl he seemingly can not have. That is what also made this movie work for me...I just can totally relate to his situation. Not that I have super powers, but any woman I fall for I never act upon because I think they will be better off not knowing me. I also have the bad luck and I am a bit of a klutz. Heck, if I did have powers I would have abandoned this life long ago. All in all a great movie that I look forward to buying on DVD. The best superhero ever...go get em' Spidey.",10
"I think NETFLIX should have stuck with original title ""Ryan Reynolds; THE MOVIE!"", it begs the question if one can have just too much Ryan Reynolds and still be entertaining and I know what you are thinking; the Deadpool series has an uncomfortable amount of Ryan Reynolds yet somehow manages to remain entertaining... this film has even more.

You see the geniuses over at FOX studios have figured out a way to pepper their movies with just enough away time from Ryan on the screen so you can collect your thoughts and get reinvested in the movie, well NETFLIX doesn't play your rules maaannnnn and if they want all of the Reynolds lines to be jokey than so be it. My guess is that they thought Ryan Reynolds was Dane Cook and I could see how they could get them confused but even Cook couldn't make EVERYTHING funny.

How could they squeeze more entertainment into only one film.... who better to explain all the plot points than Morgan Freeman unless of course you have Ryan Reynolds cast; actually I've only watched the first 45 minutes (needed a break) so Freeman could be in the movie I guess. I was going to do a Tom Cruise comparison about screen time but I've run out of steam, watch the movie and good luck.",7
"Iron Man 2 is overstuffed, pulling in superfluous directions. It introduces Black Widow (and expands on SHIELD), War Machine, two villains, Stark's degrading health, his father issues, and expands on his complicated relationship with Potts. Had these plotlines been in separate movies, they could've had proper development. Instead, nothing intertwines and the movie is messy. Furthermore, Stark's character doesn't arc. He solves problems, but doesn't grow. In fact, he finishes the movie by mocking his doubters (even though they were right about his technology being a public safety threat). Ultimately, Iron Man 2 only feigns drama around merchandising and action.

Technically, Iron Man 2 is a downgrade. Rock music is more sparse, imagery is less dramatic, editing is basic, sound lacks symbolism, and the tone is muddled. The first action sequence is appealing, but the climactic battle is uninspired. Meanwhile, the cast adds several big names, but there's less emotional range for them to explore. Previously, Downey was able to show vulnerabilities that are noticeably missing here. Overall, Iron Man 2 is more like a collection of parts than a cohesive whole. Its individual ideas are interesting, but it's too cluttered to connect. Iron Man 2 is fine entertainment, but it's also a missed opportunity.

Writing: 4/10 Direction: 5/10 Cinematography: 5/10 Acting: 7/10 Editing: 6/10 Sound: 7/10 Score/Soundtrack: 6/10 Production Design: 8/10 Casting: 10/10 Effects: 7/10

"Really looking forward to this movie based on the reviews.. I've seen quite a few non-American movies, and I usually enjoy them a lot.

This, however, was totally horrendous. Truly bad. It's a 2 or a 3 out of ten. Ended up giving the movie a 2. The idea was totally fine, but about everything else was painful to watch.

Missus didn't want to watch the whole movie, but we did anyway. There had to be something at the end to justify the high score. But no.",2
"Black Mirror is a uniquely bleak sci-fi drama that delves into the darkness of future(istic) technology. It provides a cynical but also grounded view by how some concepts that seem great to have in theory, could destroy many relationships, humans and more. But. This goes for the first 3 seasons and partly 4th season. The show has dropped off significantly and has lost it's identity sadly.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet. But here we go. I just finished season 6. And I have to say, this show is done. It's heyday's are over. Up until season 4 (if I'm a bit more harsh S3) it's such a unique and enjoyable show exploring the darkness of tech. It was creative, at times a gut punch, emotional, well acted and directed. It was all there. After S4 it started to feel like ''shorts'' that overstay their welcome and don't really hook into the core identity of the show. And it lost me.

If I would recommend anyone the show it would be to watch till season 3 for the essentials. Episodes such as ''The Entire History of You'' ''White Bear'' ''Be Right Back'' ''White Christmas'' ''San Junipero'' (my favorite) and more, you honestly can't go wrong with any episode of the first 3 seasons. Season 4 started showing signs of regression.

San Junipero deserves a special shoutout, that episode stuck with me for weeks. It's a incredibly well done episode and to it's core based on such a strong emotional foundation. Death, life, existentialism. For me it was an episode that made me reflect and ask questions to myself. A sign of a strong episode. Now in contrast, San Junipero could be a seen as out of place in the lineup of S1-3 episodes. As it's not depressing in a traditional sense for the show. But... uniquely depressing in a happy way, if that makes any sense.

Overall, though, the show has great direct, lovely acting and always felt solid all around. Just fantastic. It does hold the standard throughout most seasons. Some episodes here and there feel weaker than others, as is expected with a anthology series. But I don't remember crazy poor performances or sloppy episodes in a technical sense.

This show has had episodes I will never forget. And that's worth something. Sadly, the last couple seasons were dull and I'm done with giving the show a chance each time. The writing just isn't there anymore.",8
Brilliant. Like The Goonies of 1985 with an alien touch.,9
"I adore the direction of the film. The filmmaker had us sit on the edge of our seats to see such a thrilling treat, and all the situations were completely predictable.

Sarath Kumar and Ashok Selvan deserve praise for their excellent role-play.

He is really brilliant and I believe even in his final film, Sarath Babu offered great acting talents. The Kennedy character in the movie he recently appeared in was fantastic.

The key serial murderer suspect is unpredictably discovered in the film's considerably flimsy final minutes.

Overall, I enjoyed the film; nevertheless, every minute of it is greatly filmed.

Keep up the excellent work. I appreciate the movie.",10
"I will begin with the bottom line - yes, the movie is good, it does give you an enjoyable movie experience, and yes you should watch it.

And yet, it does not worth it's rate of 9/10. The movie itself is pretty normal with regular scenes and some few scenes which made people really like the movie. These scenes are rather few in number, but are placed in strategic times in the movie, giving it its peaks at the exact time you need it. What most people forget is that the entire movie up to these scenes is just a regular every day science fiction movie. I think everyone is so praising it because their friends are saying it who heard it from their friends and so on...

I hope you enjoy the movie but don't be blinded by what other people think of this movie.",7
"OK we re not so down with the movies but we expected to see a combination of Marry Poppins and the Diary, after seeing all the reviews and Oscar nominations but what the hell was that?Do they think in Hollywood that we re brain dead zombies and we re gonna fall for this crap?Don't spend a dime and time for this, better look at your ceiling for 2 hours its more productive..IMDb metric system isn't trustworthy after this for sure..",1
"Where to start with 'venom'. The story is weak at best, it's basically all happening before you can say 'hang on a minute, what about......'. It's got massive plot holes everywhere you look. Th ending just seemed hashed and as visually incoherent as the transformers battles where you can't tell what's going on in any way. The cgi is bloody awful. There's 1 scene where 'eddie' jumps from a balcony and just stops mid air before his symbiont does what it does to save him. The gags miss the mark most of he time! I suspect mainly due to the fact this is 'in association with' marvel and not actually done by marvel. The writing is from at least another 4 rungs down marvels ladder. What a shame. Let's hope there isn't another as the post credits scene suggests",2
"I looked forward to seeing this after a promotional appearance by Jamie Lee Curtis. It was fun even with the obvious holes in the plot. The movie is marred by the gratuitous and at the same time boring profanity.

Daniel Craig uses one accent at the very beginning then chances it shortly after. The movie did have some plot twists. All in all, the movie plays like a Sunday afternoon TV movie.",4
"Awesome movie with No item song No Kicks with villain falling 1km away No Kissing or groping scene Like those in the movies of Salman, Ranbir or Shahrukh

But a movie which can make you feel the sacrifices of our armed forces. A movie that is a slap on the students like Shehla Rashid and Kanhaiya Kumar. A movie that is a slap on reporters of NDTV who says army men are risking their life only because they are paid for that.",10
"This movie was so hyped....and I was into the hype. The first Dr strange was so good, great pacing and progression with great acting and story. This film however focuses on cgi battles and stale conflict with little actual emotional acting. Some scenes could've been much more sinister and impactfull if the actors were up for it. I think Marvel has to take notes from The Boys and start creating actual villains.",4
"I want to do a short review. Better than the first. Just as good as the second. People will probably like this one the best because of Ed and Lorraine as well as all the different ghosts and monsters. This one only proves one thing, that Ed and Loraine are the best part of the Conjuring universe. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson really light up the screen when they are around. McKenna Grace does a really good job as Judy Warren and the two other girls ( a babysitter and her bestie) are really good too. If they weren't good, the movie would've been awful. There is a ton of jump scares. It's what this movie relies on to be scary. Most of them are very effective. I did realize while watching the movie how far horror has come. If this movie was released in the 80s the girls would have had their tops off in the first 20 mins and would've been killed off soon after. They take a slower burn with this film and give the girls a bit of pathos so you root for them. To finish out this review, I say if you are a fan of the Conjuring universe you won't be disappointed. Because it's more of the same, except on crack. If you hate jump scares, stay home.",7
"They shouldn't have changed such a big role character.

Johnny depp was a much better actor for the role.

Just sucks. I loved the first and second film.",1
"when i watched this show on nick, i thought it was great, i'm 18 now, i looked at it years later and it's still an amazing show. Great animation, brilliant characters and writing, funny comedy and great use of drama. It takes place a mystical world where some people can ""bend"" or control one element, water earth fire and air. One person, the avatar, can bend all four elements, the main character Aang, is the current avatar, runs away as a kid and frozen in ice for 100 years. During this time the fire nation started a war with the other nations. Aang is broken out by two water tribe siblings, Katara and Sokka. he has face his destiny as the avatar and defeat the fire lord. One show is one full story and has great character development and at times even tear jerking moments. One of my favorite shows. 10 out of 10",10
"This show is simply great.

Every episode has a new interesting story to offer and yes, there are reocurring themes or similar ideas, but in my mind that's the point of the show in a way.

It's always thrilling to figure out what the plot-twist is going to be and an enjoyable visual journey even if the episode may not be quite my taste.",7
Bird Box has been judged and we've been found wanting.,3
"From the producer of Armageddon, Bad Boys and Pearl Harbor ... What the hell happened to this person? It just can't be the same person Watched for 10 min... 4 of them just opposite the camera I had to watch at a human eye.... They killed absolutely not necessary 10s of innocent people happen to be near the chase.... The computer effects were amateurish ... The mix of scenes from Florence and Sienna as it was 1 city... was neglible.. compared to everything else...",1
"Interstellar is basically the more intellectual version of The Core from 2003 with much better effects. The story is very similar. In both movies the Earth is dying. To save it a secret organization funded by the government assembles a team of scientists, of which most are used for cannon fodder, to save the planet. The only differences are that instead of traveling to the core of the Earth they go into space. Plus, Interstellar is a more intellectual and thought-provoking piece than a summer blockbuster which was what The Core was. There are many similarities to 2001: A Space Odyssey as well. I think Nolan really tried to make this the modern 2001 and his fans really want this to be too. Interstellar is definitely an ambitious movie for Nolan even more than Inception was. I think it succeeds in most of what it set out to do, but does fall a bit short in a couple areas.

The main selling point is the effects which are breathtaking. Like films like Gravity or Jurassic Park this is a film that you should see in theatres just to experience the awesome effects. The film sounds great and has a terrific score; though it can get make scenes seem too over-dramatic at times. I will say that this is a better-looking movie than Avatar. Plus, unlike Avatar, Interstellar has more to offer than just the spectacle.

The acting is also superb. Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine, and the rest of the cast all do fantastic performance-wise and I did like all of the characters. I even enjoyed the side cast even though most of them were there just to die and provide drama. I think this has to do with the actors and how well they sold the characters.

However, I do have a couple issues in regards to the story. The story itself is great but it could've been executed better in some areas. While I enjoyed the side character, most had no reason to be there and were basically used for cannon fodder. Also the film was too long. There were many scenes and story elements that felt irrelevant. When they go through the worm hole and enter the other galaxy they have three worlds to choose from and they go to every single one which takes at least twenty minutes for each. While, from a visual perspective, it was amazing seeing all these different worlds and it did provide some drama. However, in terms of the overall the story it felt mostly like padding. The point is the movie did not need to be almost three hours.

Lastly, there was one story element I was not really a fan of which ties into the ending. I know it has to do with time which is one of the main plot elements of the film. However, the way it's presented in the film is a bit weird and silly compared to the rest of the film. Plus they didn't explain it as well as they should've making it rather confusing. I know complicated is virtually Nolan's trademark, but I still felt that he made the film more complicated than it needed to be. It is already a strong film without the twist at the ending. It really felt like Nolan was trying for a 2001 ending. Even though I like this film more I do think the ending to 2001 was done better than the ending of Interstellar.

Overall, Interstellar is a pretty well-done space adventure. It was an amazing visual ride, the acting was great, I liked the majority of the characters, and it had some intriguing ideas and good drama. However, some of its ideas aren't explored or explained enough I felt. Many of the side characters, while likable, feel shoehorned in. Plus the film went on a bit too long and the ending could've been better. Even with those issues I still highly recommend the film and suggest you see it in theatres. It's a great experience.",6
Poor portrayal of Bangladesh. Anyone who lives in Bangladesh or Kolkata would know that the actors are not from Bangladesh just from their accent. Also you could easily tell the shooting were not done in Bangladesh just by looking at the streets. Expected more from Hollywood.,4
"If you have seen more films, you will surely consider the level of this film to be average. The interesting parts of this film were struggles, traveling in a parallel world and comedy.

If I had the ability to make a film like this, I would definitely make the best one. Of the two hours of the film, only thirty minutes were useful, the script was strong and the subject matter of the film was interesting.

The actors played well, but the choice of actors for the roles was awful. In this film, more than showing the art of acting, more technological effects were used and it was very imaginative.

And the best part was the concept of living and being together, which was useful.",4
"I have read a few of the books and played TW3 game, so I knew what I was getting into - I can't think of a better way the books and lore could have been played out, in film or TV.

I watched the first season in one day, I just couldn't stop watching. I loved the story, the action, characters, the aesthetics..... just bravo from everyone involved!!!

I have to hand it to Henry Cavill, who embodies Geralt so perfectly. In hindsight you can always say ""I couldn't imagine any one else in the role""....like Downey Jr as Iron Man for example. I'm not sure how true this is, we will never know.... but I certainly think Cavill IS Geralt, and I'm hoping this gets multiple seasons, as him and everyone else have tuly made something special that I will be eager to watch multiple times, and hope to see more of.

The possibilities for this going forward are HUGE!",9
"First off, I didn't dislike the show and I did find it fairly entertaining. The problem is that the entire first season feels like a series of ""monster of the week"" for Geralt while the other important characters are simply doing their own seemingly unrelated stuff.

The season doesn't really start to make sense until the end which is a huge waste of time. The entire 8 episodes could probably have been cut down to 3-4 episodes. The first 2 episodes could be the stories of the two female characters and how they are connected to Geralt and the 3rd, and possibly 4th, episode could have been what happens in the last 2 episodes. The interconnected events like slaying of certain monsters to gain allies and such could have been handled by a 2-5 minute conversation instead of 30-45 minutes of an entire episode.

This way you'd have 4-5 episodes left to actually start telling the story instead of wasting almost the entire season on what essentially feels like a prologue.",6
"It's a story inspired by, no not books or games, but by the success (as capital gained) of Witcher's universe. Total disappointment. I would put 0 rating of I could.

I just can't believe in the world that Netflix has created. Be consistent! It's ok when you take little actors for dwarfs, but use CGI magic to make them sturdy, stout and strong, in the book they were able to drag a carriage full of refugees and different cargo when horses died. How can I believe these ones can do it and who is going to play halflings then? Eleves look like cosplaying mummers from the 90s. Broken characters, nearly every character: Kalante, Ciri, Yen, Vilgefortz (saddest of all they just castrated him, forgive us Vil), Kagir. Stupid motivations and decisions from main characters. Battles!!!! Infantry attacks cavalry, mages used as a projectiles (what?? is mage cheaper than a barrel of fire?), classical: armor doesn't protect from anything, classical: wear armor during time of peace or if you perform other duties (seriously, why Vilgefortz wears piece of armor on his neck during the meeting of mages). Stupid changes to the original story. I get that you can't you can follow book word by word, but why ruin what was good there and put your own stupid ideas? Brokilon, doppler's line (wtf was that?).

Most of all you lost all humor from books and all references to different myths and fairy tales.

What saga that we like you are going to cripple and castrate next?",1
"Without even going into the comic to movie transition this movie is bad. It's so bad in so many parts that i'll recommend whole heartedly to watch it if you want to learn about how NOT to make a film, let me break it for you: How not to tell a story(although the script itself may have been done fine). How not to direct actors. How not to introduce characters. How not to develop characters. How not to make a soundtrack. How not to make camera shooting effects(partly, there was couple of good ones). How to make fights choreography.

It was boring and silly to stupid at many times. It wasn't believable at any part. It was so bad that i think Mr. Webb should feel bad about making it and give copies to schools that teach cinematography and directing so they can teach HOW NOT TO MAKE A MOVIE. that is all.",2
"The escape of the evil wizard Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) triggers a search for Credence Barebone (Ezra Miller) who is also being pursued by a vengeful half-brother (but being shielded by a murderous agent of Grindelwald's (Ingvar Sigurdsson)) - the big reveal is Credence's true identity, presumably a set up for 'Fantastic Beasts 3'. If you enjoy the efforts to turn J. K. Rowling's 'Boy-wizard' YR books into deep, dark epics you'll likely enjoy this outing, otherwise, like me, you'll probably find the film pretentious and uninteresting. The special effects are nice but their quality and 'imaginativeness' is now routine for big-budget CGI-fests - looking good is no longer all that's needed to make a film worth watching.",6
MM did a stellar job with his performance. The soundtrack was great. But the pacing in this film was all off.,6
"Just don't. I have no idea what's going on, who is who or why the timeline skips about so much. I've tried so hard to make it make sense but it just won't and the longer you watch it the more confusing it gets. Is it a tv show or a social experiment to see who can watch the longest? Read a book, go for a walk, take up knitting, anything but this.",1
"I honestly didn't know what to expect from this series when I first started watching it, but I thought it was fun and enjoyed the quirky humour.

Whilst Steve Martin and Martin Short were pretty ubiquitous in 80's comedies I haven't seen anything they've done since then, so it was refreshing to see them together again and in something different. Didn't know Selena Gomez beforehand but I liked her character as well (although I couldn't work out if that was her normal voice or just part of the characters deadpan delivery). The rest of the supporting cast were equally engaging.

I don't follow true crime podcasts so I have no idea whether this is a legitimate take on them or not and it may be that a number of in-jokes passed me by as a result, but it was straight forward to follow and a lovely contrast to some of the darker stuff we tend to get now.

I look forward to season 2 and can recommend.",8
"As someone who has not seen the first movie, I came in with knowing only what I had heard from the pre-hype.

Right from the start, The dialog is terrible. Every dialog scene runs like two 5 year olds squabbling. At times I felt it was difficult to hear where the actual conversation was going. Conversations were usually a string of one liners, and didn't carry the story at all.

There is plenty of completely random sub-plots that don't really add anything to the story. I have no idea why Scarlett Johansson was even included in the story. She added nothing to the overall plot, and every scene she was in made absolutely no sense.

I came in with the impression it would be an action movie, but we spent an hour and a half waiting for any action at all. And when it comes right at the end, it is over before you know it.

I will say, some of the effects are extremely well done. And that is the only saving grace for this movie.",4
"After so much time a Thriller that is so refreshing with so many twists and that retro look with amazing Background score. Mr Vasan has hit it out of the park.

I went in to watch Radhika Apte, and Rajkumar Rao but all the actors have done a fantabulous job. The script is brilliant and its has its share of laughs and you keep on guessing who is the killer and the story just takes a new turn.

The background score with 80's songs and the retro look of the movie makes it a treat.

You are forced to go along a typical murder mystery when somone is being blackmailed and then there is a murder and then police comes in. But rust me you will have a twisty gift waiting for you and proves you wrong almost all the time..",9
"Why not just raise up the Falcon and make his story great and heroic instead of bashing Captain America and America on the whole. Politics as usual for Disney and a not so subtle ideology being pushed. Maybe season 2 they can get back to the Falcon: adventure, fun, heroism and action!! Leave politics to the hacks dividing the country. :)",1
"The start and end of the show are amazing. The middle of this 6 episode series comes off as somewhat lengthy and boring but it contains very important information. So pay attention. All in all, very good show and definitely worth watching.",8
"Sherlock - Detective TV Series

Seasons - 4

Platform - Netflix

A true detective masterpiece. This series is so popular and must watch one but I took a while to dive into it. The episodes were quite long containing it's own essence of story but there was a main plot centering with the relationships and life about Sherlock, Watson, Mary etc. I thought at first that this series will cover each individual story in every episode but I was wrong. I am glad that I was wrong about it. The story build up, chemestry between each characters were so interesting and enjoyable. Some tragedy and interesting twists were also spicing up the whole series. There was a episode of Irene Adler where Sherlock fell in love with her. That episode was marvelous. Moreover, last two seasons were also great and the finishing of this series is like the perfect example of icing on the cake.

Now the negetive sides. For first season, the story was not upto the mark. The actor of main character Sherlock did over acting there. Moreover, I don't know what is the point of showing a detective like a super human? This issue is my primary complain for all the sherlock series and movies. I guees writer wrote it this way otherwise it is not realistic. Moreover, some unnecessary episodes with crime solving story was there which I did not find that much interesting. However, I totally enjoyed the series and I recommend everyone to watch this.

Personal Rating - 7/10",7

"Season 1: 10/10 Season 2: 9/10 Season 3: 3/10

Seasons 1 & 2 were definitely must see tv.

I recommend not watching season 3 if you aren't into seasons 1 & 2. Why? Because if you thought seasons 1 & 2 were just ok...then season 3 will definitely make you ill.

Advice for those fans of seasons 1 & 2: Don't watch season 3 because it will make you have bad thoughts about the show in general, when it really is awesome.",9
"I'm a big fan of Steven Spielberg's work. And this is probably my favorite. It's in my opinion the greatest film of 2022. It deserved the golden globe. I loved what Spielberg did with it.

And I just love everything it did. The acting is great, the script, the editing, and the production and costume design. If you haven't go see it. I was excited for this film from the fist trailer. The only other Spielberg film this could tie with is ""West side story"". It's great I would recommend this to anyone who has any appreciation for Spielberg and/or movies. I love it with Stephen Spielbergs next film being a western I'm excited to see what comes next. A+",9
"I just came out of the theater! this movie was rubbish. I'm not a critic but this would be my first one ever just because this movie was nothing that I expected it to be, I was totally let down, money wasted. won't be giving any spoilers. but me and my friends were laughing when we were expected to be serious and what SRK tried to do was not comedy for sure! you can predict the end we did it. movie was not practical they tried hard but they failed. I don't know how rating is that high but in my opinion and a true one don't waste your time and money. You will thank me later it's not even worth of watching on TV. other than that me and my friends had fun, we criticized the movie a lot and that was only the fun part I'm talking about. peace out!",1
Having read some of the posts on this site before watching this film I find myself sympathising with those people who said they didn't like it first time up but liked it much better on second viewing. I was disappointed overall given the pre-match hype and the very high overall rating that the film was given. Yet it's hard to put my finger on what I didn't like other than it just seemed to disappoint. Oh well...,6
"I will start this review as someone who never watched the original, but watched the 1998 version... The 1998 version, which is a very bad film by itself is what I was preparing for before watching this, so my expectations were pretty low from the beginning... Did I enjoy this ? - Absolutley... The Tv show starts in the middle of story, without explaining too much about how the characters got where they are and as the action proceeds, the story unfolds itself bit by bit through flashbacks in a ""LOST"" style... The dialogues are not stunning but they're not bad either, the CG and sets look stunning, it is a very high production TV show after all...The story is intriguing enough for me to binge watch it... Now there are some inaccuracies in science, like ice freezing too quick, but most of shows have some dumb moments anyway even ""S.T.:Next Generation"" ... This show reminds me ""Earth 2"" most of all so far which I enjoyed in 1994 and which is where JJ Abrams stole his ""LOST"" ideas from... Now if you enjoy sci fi with a good story and superb looking scenery, you will love that, but people who's favorite films are ""K- Pax"", ""Gattaca"" or ""Space Odyssey 2001"" would better re-watch ""Martian"" or something...

A lot of reviewers seem to be giving extremely negative reviews for no reason really... Don't get me wrong the Tv show has some minor flaws, but generally it's pretty great...",8
"'The Reader' is a well-directed film, with great performances, but stands sole in terms of keeping the viewer gripped. A well-made film in all aspects, but not an endearing watch for the commoner. Sex goes on and on in the first 60 minutes, while the penultimate 30 minutes are the death of characters? The Reader works in bits and pieces, not in totality.

Pluses of the film: Well-directed. Sex Scenes are truly arousing. Performances are first-rate: Kate Winslet won the Oscar for this role, and rightly so. Ralph is outstanding. Others are passable.

Minuses: Lenghty.

on the whole 'The Reader' holds scant appeal.",5

I don't know how this movie won any kind of award. I watched it with a friend of mine and his two kids. It was barely watchable for the adults and the kids found it totally boring. It's basically a movie that has Sandra Bullock talking to no one for half the movie. The other half she is talking to George Clooney. I'm a Sci-Fy person and found this movie very very slow. She uses up all her oxygen and has only 5% left but keeps hyperventilating. Somehow the air never runs out. She has to read the manual on how to operate the various equipment and somehow gets it all right. Even on the Chinese space station she somehow manages to push all the right buttons to get the escape pod to deploy. I am so glad I paid less than $10 at Wal_mart for this movie.,1
"So so disappointed... After seeing the marketing for this film it was very apparent to me that 'free guy' isn't meant to be taken seriously at all and it's just a simple switch off comedy. After around half hour into the film however I started to question all these positive reviews I've read. I didn't find any of this film remotely funny besides a few lines here and there and the story itself was cringe and hard to watch at times. The film seems to heavily rely on cameos, references and that 'usual Ryan Reynolds' character which has been milked to death. The acting also comes across as very amateurish considering some actors in this film are great actors in other films. I get 'free guy' is meant to be a comedy but I don't think that's an excuse for actors to perform so poorly. The action sequences also come across as quite meh, which was a let down as I was expecting a film based in a video game world to have unique and crazy type action scenes but instead it was just dull and so so cringeworthy.

Overall I find 'free guy' quite a boring and tedious film, I can see what the creators were trying to do and I do think this film had potential however it was just poorly executed. I really don't get why this film is receiving the praise it has. Personally I can't think I'd watch this film ever again but hey ho that's just my opinion watch it for yourself bro!

Viewed on Disney+ 8/2/22.",4
"Since it is a movie based on real life incidents, the script writers need not think too much. The actors have done their job to perfection but the cringy music at times slows down the pace of the movie. Otherwise it is awesome and you will feel proud of the Indian army even more.",8
"First of all, this show has amazing production. It is really nice to see the vintage-looking building and interestingly decorated New York apartments and basically every shot looks like it was very well thought out.

Secondly, Steve Martin and Martin Short are pure joy to watch. At first, Short strikes as the most entertaining character - an optimistic ageing bohemian director who faced a series of failures but have not lost hope of directing his 'next big thing'. And later on Steve Martin's character develops in such a way that allows him to showcase some of his best work, playing a neurotic and self-conscious but gentle, kind and at times hilariously confident actor. At some point he stole the show from Short for me since his character is so interesting to watch.

As for Selena Gomez - she is OK. A tell-it-like-it-is 'modern' girl with not much of a background story. Lacking personality, but that it is 100% screenplayers' fault, not Selena's.

And here is what the show's problem is: the screenplay is not more than 5 out of 10. It is kind of slow paced, characters lack motives for some of their actions, there are very few background details and because of this you may wonder every now and then, how come this is a murder story but I feel no sympathy to the main plot whatsoever and do not even care who the 'murderer' is. You surely get involved when Short and Martin steal the scene but other times, the show feels just boring.

Add some bright sparkly dialogue to it (maybe I am being obvious but the whole thing would become alive if some Woody Allen-like kind of conversations were there), give the main female character more background story and actual words to speak, add some interesting secondary characters to fill the 'building' with life - and it would have been a 10 out of 10. Currently, by episode 4 it still feels empty - I would call it 'Only Steve Martin and Martin Short in the building' because I haven't noticed anything else.",6

"Why is it that everyone can do horror well this century EXCEPT for USA? Australia takes the cake for best horror movie of the year with this one, as far as I am concerned.

I am so glad I went and caught a theatrical screening of this before it was out of there. I knew it had potential after the stuff I saw other people saying about it, but, OH MY LORD, this movie hit SO hard in a multitude of ways. The first half was just as funny as it was gripping, while the second half had dramatic elements that were just as powerful as all of its terrifying horror. Talk To Me seamlessly fuses all these genres, adding up to a very intense and gratifying experience overall. And the violent bits were quite a bit more grotesque than I was expecting! Not for the squeamish! And may I add, it does not skimp on its BLEAKNESS. Once it gets heavy, it STAYS heavy!

I was very impressed by the entire cast, none of whom I recognized aside from the mother. Everyone's ability to play equal parts comedy, drama, and terror was incredible, and that's also a sign of really good directing. I know nothing about this director otherwise but I'm gonna start paying attention now.

There are definitely a couple things I found myself loosely wondering how or why things could work out the way they did, but I don't really think those are worth discrediting the movie for. Talk To Me requires a bit of suspension of disbelief, like much horror, but that's part of what makes it such a blast. It really creates it's own little terrifying world and sucks you right into it.

I'm glad this wasn't another Saint Maud (more like Saint Mid). I don't think I've had such a gripping horror movie experience in the theater since probably Midsommar. If people still care about movies AT ALL thirty years from now, this one is gonna be a big-time cult classic.",9
"I'm pi***d beyond words, so much that I made this account solely to review what I just wasted my time on. I'm not here for trolling purposes, if I give this show 1 out of 10 it's not because I'm a troll or because I didn't understand it, but because this show does not deserve a rating of anything above 5. Now let me tell you about my bad experience with this show. After reading tonnes of good reviews about this show I decided to watch it, but now I can say I can never trust show reviews again. Majority of people have really bad taste in shows and they screw up the rest of the people with a working brain. There is nothing decent about this show, it is not unique, it does not force you to think about things deeply(unless you have an IQ in double digits) and it might be the most boring show you'll ever come across that's rated close to 9 on IMDb. Every episode has a different story and the episodes aren't interconnected, all episodes are bad and kill your time in the worst possible way.

"Discovered a movie that I thought was rather good the other day. Not for everyone, and not a great work of art; but very well crafted and enjoyable, imho.

'Red Sparrow' (2018) is a psychosexual spy thriller about a Soviet school that trained young men and women in techniques of seduction to establish relationships with foreign men (and women) with money or power, for obtaining information and possibly blackmail material. It ostensibly takes place in the current, non-Soviet era, but the school itself is thought to have operated during the height of the cold war. Its current status, if any, is unknown.

Naturally, the Soviets hate the film. They apparently flooded social media with bots attacking it to undermine its reputation, with some apparent success. Who knows? But 2018 was when the bromance between Trump and Putin was topical, and the film was not received well in official Washington either.

The film has a few shocking scenes with some violence, killing, torture, and worst of all, some limited sex, nudity, and bad language.

So what's to like, you ask? This is a complex and intricate plot with elements that come into play with the regularity of a metronome, and paced similarly. There is scarcely a wasted action or insinuation, and in the end it fits together like a Swiss watch. It's not deep, but it is brilliant.",10

"Just a convoluted mess of a film. Choosing Shane Black to direct was a terrible idea. A complete castration of a character that took almost ten years and 3 films to build up gone in less then 2 hours. This movie grabbed the character Ironman in mid ascension to the level of a Batman/ superman/ Spiderman notoriety and yanked him back down to Thor and Cap's level. The script was trash, the direction was trash and the mythology got trashed. I Marvel learned from this and moves on. And for anyone that says ""but the action was"". Go shoot yourself. If your first defense of a movie is about ""action"" or ""effects"". You have terrible taste and judgment. And 9/10 times the movie you are trying to defend is dogshit.",4

And yes, I checked my tv settings after last week, which was more interesting for its night shoots.

"Red Sparrow is the 1984 of modern cinema. The plot is remarkably well-written, and conveys the idea of a realistic story. But evidently its purpose is not to become a documentary. The bold decision of carrying the cold war atmosphere to the very present day, the journey from citizen to sparrow, both very successfully let the audience question their humanity, their personality.

The inhumane violence doesn't cause discomfort. The nudity doesn't distract. They only cause pain, the pain one should feel watching a human be deprived of the basic merits which render them something more than a hairless ape.

The plot aside, the movie is overall well executed. The directing never gets confusing despite the intricate script and multiple location changes, and the cinematography mostly stands up, even though the less important sets appear to have been rather poorly decorated. The visual effects are realistic as they should be, and alongside the makeup result in the highly engaging violence scenes. The acting meets the highest standards as well, and it definitely seems that the actors understand the characters and in so doing they can convey the arcs successfully.",8

"I will say up front that I have never seen a movie based on a comic book that I really liked, except the animated ones, or the quasi-animated, like _Sin City_. You would think the graphic novel and film would have a lot in common, but in the end they're trading in different kinds of images.

This is basically just another Batman movie. Same silly premise, that a super-rich hero battles --- over the shrinking remnants of Gotham city --- villains with seemingly unlimited resources in personnel and explosives.

I will agree that Heath Ledger's performance is amazing. Can this be the same guy who played the gay cowboy in that other movie? It is a real pity that he died. I can't help but thinking that if he were still alive, and we were wondering what he would do next with his great talent, this movie would not have an average rating of 9.0 (as of this writing).

There are a lot of other fine actors (Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine, for crying out loud) who are basically wasted pretending to take their characters seriously.

I did like the heist sequence at the beginning, including the Joker's first few lines and the bit with the bus. Really very droll; gets your hopes up. But, from then on, it's just a lot of people being blown up while the survivors emote angst --- dark, brooding, comic-book angst.",6
"I created an IMDB account because I HAD to leave a review of this new series. As a huge fan of the game and reader of the book series, I can honestly say this Netflix series does not disappoint! I had mixed emotions when I first got word that this series was in the works, but after binging the whole first season over the weekend, I am HOOKED! Henry Cavill is genius as Geralt of Rivia; capturing his cold hunter persona, suppressed warm human interior, and effortless dry sense of humor. When watching him on the screen I really felt Cavill was the game character brought to life from his posture, voice, and fighting technique. I cannot wait for the next season!!",9
"It was fine for what it was but so many things could have been done better. There was a good amount of time i was just bored and it felt that we were going at a snails pace and when you have less then 10 episodes thats the last thing you want. All in all this wasnt bad, it was ok but it could've been alot better.",6
"By far my favorite of the matrix trilogy. Its fast paced, action packed and really interesting to watch. Its a great concept and an interesting story line that i thoroughly enjoyed. its a great sci-fi that's worth the watch.

A mind-blowing modern classic that feeds the mind with thought-provoking philosophical ideas about what reality is, and it will always be remembered as a major breakthrough in Cinema with its combination of innovative visual effects, thrilling action and iconic religious references.",5
"I am genuinely distraught and hurt over this recent season of The Witcher.

Now, before I get into this review, I am going to be taking an attitude of the show being over as in my heart and mind the show is officially dead. When Henry Cavil announced his resignation as Geralt of Rivia, I thought we would at least get one more good season, but that would prove to be false.

But as per usual first things first I will talk about the positives...

Seasons 1 and 2 were fantastic. The show featured great writing, great acting, great storytelling, great cgi, and a fantastic musical score.

I've never read any of The Witcher books but as someone who played the games and has a lot of respect for the lore and source material I had a massive amount of love for Henry Cavil who worked very hard to make sure the show was accurate to the source material or at least from what I've heard.

The show had some great action it was choreographed very well and was shot just as well. The stories of the characters were good and intrigued me in wanting to get to know them more. The politics, while not the shows focus, was great and written intelligently. But the real focus for me and what I kept returning for more was Geralts' monster slaying and his adventures with his traveling companion, Jaskier.

Now take all the good this show did box it up, pour gasoline all over it, and light it up because that's everything they did in this season.

This season was so bad everything, and anything that made the show good was reversed here. Terrible, boring writing, the storytelling was abysmal, even the cgi started taking a dump. I mean, how? After two fantastic seasons of some great cgi, and now it's just terrible!

The worst of this atrocity of a season is the finale. I cared so very little about this episode that my friends and I literally went almost half an hour of just talking before we started the finale just to take a break. Then, during the finale, I hit such a low point that I couldn't even pay attention. I had more interest in our conversations that my friends and I were having in the middle of the episode than I did in the actual episode.

Well, I could say more, but I just don't care too. Why they would end the show this way is beyond me! (yes, sarcasm) Maybe Liam Hemsworth will do a good job in the role of Geralt, but I am not going to be there to find out.

My final score for the series is, unfortunately, a disappointing six out of ten. The show had two great seasons yes but this season just soured everything. Henry Cavil deserved a way better send-off than this.

IMDb: 6/10 Letterboxd: 3/5

Watched on Netflix in 4k Dolby Vision.",6
Another addition to Hinduphobia by Urduwood/Karachiwood. Also not worth your time,1
This show was 7 episodes too long. Complete rubbish in the end. Very disappointing.,1
Sandra Bulllock is back! To be fair she has help from a wonderful supporting cast but top work all round. A mysterious illness/creature makes people who see it kill themselves in quite dramatic fashion in most cases. Bullock and her family survive wearing blindfolds as they try to evade the mysterious evil. The film has you asking questions but not enough to frustrate you and the storytelling is good enough to keep you interested. A good little thriller.,7
"Moves slowly. Nothing much happens. Hardly any action. Not memorable or worthy of more than one viewing. Not sure why this was so critically acclaimed. It is okay, but it's nothing spectacular. If you want an exciting political/action thriller set in a foreign land, watch 'Munich' instead.",5
"Two hours of dull dialogue, fifteen minutes of action. If you are looking to see a Marvel Hero movie this is not for you. If you are looking for a social commentary on the injustice of the world, then this is for you.

This movie was a live action Lion King meets Avengers tech which sadly insults the Lion King. Wait for the ¢.99 rental on iTunes.",4
"Basically, this is 80% drama, 20% racing film.

About 80% drama - one actor, as always, deserves a honourable mention - Matt Daemon is annoying and slightly misses the character.

About 20% racing - accuracy is too arcade at some points. For example, contains classic recycle bin scene when two drivers are going side-by-side and then one of them is pressing the throttle ""even more"".

Sure, such scene more realistic for le-man than for other racing series, but still too exaggerated.

Image and camera work are not bad, nor top level. No special OST.

What appears to be indeed interesting - that film is based on an incredible real story.

Overall, it's not a movie that you want to watch twice, much lower quality/art than TT3D or Rush.",3
"The plot is kind of there, but effects distracting and story some what over detailed with names i will never remember and words that are not in the dictionary. I stuggled to stay awake watching it, with redmans lispy voice it's hard to understand so i put of subtittles. He's go on quest for dumble door and looking for a girl with eyes like a salamanda extremely, narrow feet and talks to a platypus and the feather say so. After 3 hour of drivel you find out dumble door has blood packed with grindelworld and i think he has a son too. I would have to watch this film more than twise to understant the story hidden in the jargon, if their is one and that would be hard. The special effect are over used and the main beast looks like creature from neverending story.",1
Fantastic! Rarely does such a smart show last long but here's hoping it will. This show is very well written with just the right amount of comedy and a perfect fit for the current True Crime Podcast trend. The two Martins work well together and Ms Gomez is perfect in her role. Can't wait to see more!,10
"Mare of Easttown is a really good miniseries with a great lead performance by Kate Winslet, an uncompromising attitude towards the complexity and sometimes awfulness of even generally good people, and an engaging plot.

It reminds me of Sharp Objects, but while many people, including my girlfriend, really loved Mare, I did not find it as compelling as Sharp Objects. And while the first few episodes were gripping, I found my interest waxed and waned after that.

It's a good series, and I understand why some people love it, but for me it was more like than love.",7
"There's a lack of good sci-fi series currently and this is one of the better ones despite all its flaws.

Season 1 Pros: Judy, Will, Robot Cons: soundtrack, the adults, especially the parents and Dr. Smith

Most of the adults in Season 1 were aholes. A lot of the decisions and things they do leaves you wondering WHY? The mom is arrogant and the dad is completely useless. How did he pass the tests to get on the ship? Dr. Smith is annoyingly in your face all the time. And just as annoying and distracting is the cinematic music that plays EVERY 5 Minutes, it was totally unnecessary and excessive.

In Season 2, the kids are still doing good, Mr. Robinson becomes a little more useful but Mrs. Robinson becomes a bigger ahole. She regards her kids by their abilities and she's too busy to even bother reading her daughter's book. The excessive cinematic music has toned down some and Dr. Smith is less annoying. The plot is getting good and I'm rooting for their general success. This was the best season.

Season 3 was too dark. Literally a lot of the scenes were in almost complete darkness. Half the time you have no idea what's really going on. All the illogical things that were in seasons 1 and 2, becomes more ridiculous in the last season. But you also see growth in the kids and some of the adults. I would've like to see more of the futuristic world in Alpha Centauri, but unfortunately the show ended before we can discover all those interesting new places where Will and Robot are visiting.",7
"This series is a collection of individual stories so giving it a rating is kind of an average of all of the episodes. The majority of them were outstanding. Quality writing and acting and great stories that were inventive and I was honestly glued to the screen for several of them. Out of the five seasons that I watched, there are a few duds but none are as bad as Netflix's new sci-fi series ""another life"". That's the worst show I've ever seen.",8
This is not merely a film it is an artwork by Ashutosh Gawarikar sir. None has ever reached to that horizon again and that genere is lost somewhere in the mist forever. I do wish there were more movies like this. Do watch this not just for entertainment but to watch the beauty of cinema itself.,10
If you are bored of doing anything in life watch this! No idea what I've just watches was this on for 1hour 44mins yes it was and I will never get it back don't waste your time!,2
"And totally doubtful of this show when it aired in 2019. I was almost going to pass and then I didnt, thankfully.

This is a superhero show indeed. One can find shows of superheroes effortlessly punching their way to victory while singing Kumbaya, one can find shows of supes struggling to come to terms, managing their human and super sides and one can find shows hurried through, creators cramming in episodes, producers rushing to meet deadlines regardless if the story makes any sense. This show is none of those. Its not about the story aligning with the superhero, but rather the superheroes aligning themselves to fit the story. Its unique and one of a kind and unless many others, every season has so far been better than the last. Im going to keep watching this till the series finale, and then Im going sit back and rewatch it again. Very rarely do I review without expressing some point of disappointment, let alone rate a 9, and this is one such instance.",9
"The plot was ridiculous. The acting was subpar. It was a less funny Deadpool. But luckily, I didn't watch it for the plot or the acting. This movie should just be called ""Michael Bay's Money shot"". Ridiculous amounts of violence, explosions, car crashes, Vespa wrecks, exploding heads, falling bodies, impalements, and on and on. If you watch Michael Bay movies hoping for a plot, then you don't understand Cinema. Transformers, Pearl harbor, bad boys and everything else he has touched has made you go ""whoa"" at least a couple of times when you see a car going airborne or a body exploding. Well, this movie is no different. Turn off your brain and turn on the sorround sound sound. It's candy for the brain.",5
"I love futuristic and unique films that create their own realities, realms or worlds. From iconic films such as Inception to even great tv shows like Game of Thrones they can allow us to escape reality and have a unique viewing experience.

Ready Player One certainly has its moments but it is not anything special. The pop culture references are great and I'm sure many would have loved The Shining references and scene. It was a treat to enter the setting and location of such a great film. Not to mention other references to other films. The plot is also reasonably unique and somewhat flows.

However the downfall is the childish and unnecessary love story between the two main actors. This did not work at all and it was nauseating to see Wade close the doors to the lawyers to kiss the girl in what was a very childish and unneeded scene. A lot of teenagers and amateur film goers might have enjoyed it. Romance can work well when it is done to enhance a film and adds value.

Steven Spielberg is one of the greatest directors of our time yet this is not some of his best work. The great soundtrack is also not enough to save the film.",6
"I must say that I hadn't heard of this movie before the golden globe awards so I thought I would go and see it and see what the buzz was all about. Firstly I must say this was a really good effort by Sophia Coppola considering her pitiful performance in the last godfather movie (I'm sorry folks that is still unforgivable). The movie has a good cast with Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson giving stellar performances with the city of Tokyo epitomising the crisis that both characters are facing. Though they do touch on a romantic sort of bond but more than romantic its a connection of two souls that know that this one week together can perhaps change the course of their lives forever or they weather out the problems that they have for good. I guess it's the ending that brings the rating to 6/10, I guess because it confused me, hopefully I'll get it one day but I still think its a good movie.",6
"I guess you have to in this as something which is visually pleasing, but don't go expecting it to be consistent, because then it will annoy the crap out of you.

I'm not sure why nobody simply took the time to write something which makes sense. This puts a strain on actors to be, well, relatable and real.

The entire show was put on a fast paced clock, which has the effect of the viewer to not have any time to relate to the characters. Get to know them. Find happiness, discover paradise, relax.

Furthermore the writers cut a lot of corners and made the characters behave totally inconsistent and illogical just to move the plot forward. At a certain point anytime something didn't make sense, I knew it was a plot device to set something up. Took me completely out of of the series, complete disconnect with the characters, and made me super aware that these actors were forced to act counter to what their characters would do.

This series couldn't have been cheap. Probably appeals to children. Although I'm a bit angry that stupid and inconsistent is labeled as smart in the series.

It's not so much a waste of my time, but I'm more disappointed about the waste in potential. Could have been great with just a bit more time/effort into the story line.

Ah well.",3
"Almost all women you see are whores. Pathetic. Too much, unnecessary sexual violence for drama effect. (Not even in the books) Trying hard to be the new Game of Thrones. Fricking Game of Thrones ruined the fantasy world for me. At least I still have Lotr. No degrading women characters and still an epic story/directing without sexual violence. I hope they won't ruin the future fantasy shows and movies with this mentality of all men want to frick prostitutes and almost all women are selling their bodies. Such a cheap character of the producer/director/writer of this show. Everything became a cash grab and attention grab instead of a good fricking story. Lame.",1
"This movie is pure awesomeness. This is a movie, i will be remembered for eternity. Just a big thanks. Cinema was never so much entertaining. Can't wait for blu ray disk",2
"I really enjoyed Spiderman 2... but not as much as I expected to. Overall it didn't feel as well balanced as the first one. It seemed to spend overly long bludgeoning us (the audience) over the head with how horrible Tobey's life is and how he's so down on his luck and blah, blah, blah. It was just too much. It just got to the point that it wasn't authentic/genuine and it just came off as brutish (rather than artistic finesse). I think if they'd trimmed that stuff off a bit then it would've been much tighter and more enjoyable because the story wouldn't drag in places. Some elements of the story were obviously in the script ONLY to add depth to the characters - primarily the whole aspect of Aunt May losing her home, etc... That scenario may have been intended to somehow reflect Tobey's internal conflict, or buttress the effect his conflict on on us, but all it ended up doing for me was weighing down the story. Every time we had another ""Aunt May scene"" I would inwardly groan, sigh, and just hope it wouldn't be too excruciating. It's sad that they didn't come up with a more valid way of incorporating Aunt May this second time around. On the positive side of things though, the effects were tremendous (of course), and everyone did a fantastic job of acting. My favorite element of the Spiderman series of films is the villains - who are so fascinating because of their humanity and complex underlying motivations. Anyway, like I said earlier, I did enjoy it, but it just had too much of boring Aunt May scenes, and not enough substance on some of the other major plot point scenes. As good as the first Spiderman? Definitely not. In fact I'd say it's above the crappy Batman sequels (3 & 4), but below the rest of the comic superhero movies in quality.",7
"This was a good sports movie . I won't watch it again and I won't be recommending it out .

I like the underdog story , the relationship of miles to his family as well as miles to Shelby . I was captivated most of the movie , found it visually appealing . The story itself is Inherently interesting and I learned quite a bit on a topic I knew very little about .

I didn't feel deeply based on the cinematic elements .. I didn't leave with any specific moment or quote that I can take home and say "" that applies to me "" no fantastic scenes .. good acting but nothing mind blowing . I found it to be entertaining . The acting was good. I left without inspiration to do or change anything specific .it was too long with too many driving scens.

Overall I would say to watch but it didn't deserve a picture of the year nomination. It's a quality picture but will lot change your life :)",7
"Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald - Extended Cut

If I didn't had any sentiment attachment for this franchise, I would've rated it half a star.

This film has a serious identity crisis. J. K. Rowling should've stick with writing books. She doesn't have any talent for screenwriting and her previous attempt proved to be a blunder.",4
"The price Netflix are paying some people - and it's my money!

I am glad to see many others rating so low on this film. We ain't stupid. We like films. We like action. We like stories. We like characters. We like complex. We like simple. We just don't like this.

Simply, as others have pointed out, it's boring despite the action. Why? Because we aren't involved in it. My teenage son and I didn't even finish the stupid tripe (we had 50 minutes to go and we said enough of this rubbish).

And what year is this? Doesn't seem like 2020. More like 1950's. No wonder people are jacked off with media - I am generation x, and I have always been jacked off with this type of portrayal.... Michael Bay's ideology of film is rubbish. Always has been. End his career now...",1
"Hannibal

Exceptional actors. Sad to watch actors play characters based on deeply flawed scripts, where actors are forced to play characters that defy common sense and behave counterintuitively. It's impossible to ignore in this series because it happens continuously, and find yourself saying: ""Please. Seriously?"" That eventually leads to fatigue.

There are 2 characters, for example, psychiatrists, one walking behind the other, and the one behind the other one knocks her unconscious, but, presumably, all she can recall is nothing. Really? It's not a stretch to stitch simple facts together. No one else is in the scene. Thus...

Overall, the behavior between action and reaction is absurd and endemic in every episode watched.

There are 2 characters who manage to circumvent the absurdity and whose behavior is consistently sound, except for one critical gaff. The main character is so empathetic and therefore valuable as an agent, because he has a unique skill: He can adopt the mindset and emotional behavior of serial killers. It's intense and emotionally exhausting.

However, if you've ever known someone on the autistic spectrum, that's exactly what they cannot do. That trait distinguishes them from others, i,e., "" normal"" people. Doesn't mean, they're not gifted in other areas, but emotionally they're disconnected. They can mimic ideas, like a son from the mother, but this is mostly a repetitive task, rote learning, like teaching a parrot to talk. Doesn't mean they lack awareness of who they are, and know they're different, and how.

So that is the gaffe that completely contradicts level of social engagement of main character.

It's a psychiatrist's nightmare. And wasted talent.",2
"If you wanna see completely unrealistic action scene where the hero is a demi-god that can single handedly defeat armies of enemies without a sweat, that's the perfect movie for you. The enemies just throw themeselvs on his bullets.

This is like an absurd bollywood flick with Thor instead of the dancing.

Not to mention the wafer thin plot.

Dont waste your time on this poor excuse of a movie. Not worth even for mindless action.",1
"This TV show, Claymore in English, is a great show that many should watch for its entertaining and compelling content. It is set in a medieval world where humans co-exist with bloodthirsty yoma (demons). The only way to stop these monsters is to call upon the fearful half-yoma/half-human women warriors named after their main weapon: the Claymore. This show follows the story of one Claymore, Clare, as she slays demons with a young human boy, Raki, that lost his family to the yoma. This is not just any ""monster of the week"" type of show: character development is a key part of the story and it gets more and more interesting with every episode. This is still a good show to watch for those not that familiar with the Japanese Anime genre. Even though I am not an anime fan, I can still say that it is one of my favorite TV series if not the best. This anime series is definitely not fun and fuzzy like Pokemon or Inuyasha, nor is it full of filler episodes like Dragonball Z where its takes a whole day to watch somebody go super quadruple invincible God Mode. There is action in every episode and you will not be disappointed. Be careful, there is a lot of blood and gore present in the series: it is not a show for the faint-hearted.",8
"Willem Dafoe's theatrical roots lies with the experimental theatre company, The Wooster Group. At one point in this movie, Dafoe barks like a dog as he is paraded around like a dog in a leash.

Meanwhile Robert Pattinson is an actor who wants to stretch his acting abilities.

The Lighthouse is a stark, sparse movie about control, isolationism and psychological breakdown.

I thought this was a remake of the British movie from 2016, also called The Lighthouse and had similar themes.

Both movies are based on the Smalls Lighthouse incident of 1801 in Wales. Both have characters whose first names are Thomas.

This movie is set off the coast of New England where in the 1890s. Thomas Wake (Willem Dafoe) is an experienced lighthouse keeper who has a new assistant Thomas Howard (Robert Pattinson.) He calls himself Ephraim Winslow.

Wake barks a lot, drinks too much and demeans Howard constantly. The latter has to put up with menial or difficult tasks.

Spending four weeks together in the lighthouse with bad weather and booze. Both men bicker and argue constantly. Wake gaud's Howard constantly about telling the truth. Maybe the younger man has something to hide.

The movie is well photographed in black and white, The cinematography was Oscar nominated. Both actors stretch themselves in a movie that is essentially a two hander.

However the story is too thin, it does not work as a supernatural or psychological thriller. It is essentially about two men arguing constantly.

Like the 2016 version, maybe both men are trapped in purgatory.",4
"I am a diehard fan of the books and the games but I can't say I haven't enjoyed this series considering how much it differs from the source material. I think that's fine, often enough, books and games don't translate perfectly well into television so you have manage your expectations. I love the Witcher franchise so perhaps I am bias giving it 8 stars as I enjoyed it but also I do think there's a lot missing in terms of the lore and the world that Sapkowski created. I'm a little unsure where they're going to take the story and so a little skeptical of season 3, particularly with the recasting of the main character as that can often throw a whole series off. Cavill really was a good Geralt, hopefully Hemsworth will do a good job. Ultimately, it's the witcher but it's not quite The Witcher. There's just something missing.",8
"This is one of the best rated TV shows, and it is easy to see why. Animated or not, it doesn't matter. This show has a single story that builds slowly through the seasons to a dramatic finale. If you have a preteen, and want something to watch with them, this is what you are looking for. (Assuming you haven't seen it)

It isn't perfect, especially in season 1, there are some episodes that are a bit on the rougher side. I don't remember where it is exactly in the story, but the first season was definitely on the silly side. One episode is cute, especially for younger kids; but cringe-worthy for an adult to watch.

I get the feeling that they were having demographic troubles in the early episodes, because there is enough stuff that refers to super younger kids that it doesn't mesh well with the extremely mature and thoughtful side of the later seasons. It is also on the earlier side of the 'META' story concept, and they didn't add as much 'adult friendly' content as you will find in, say 'Gravity Falls'.

As the show predates Gravity Falls by about a decade, I think you can understand that this show was still cutting edge. If you want to go back further, try out 'Batman: The Animated Series' for a decade before Avatar. You can quickly see that producers were testing out the ability to field a more 'serious' carton, but were nervous that there wouldn't be enough 'silly' in it to capture the attention of the youngest audiences.

Still this show is well written, and follows KISS (Keep it Simple Stupid) and it pays out big. A simple, but powerful story, and they improved their pacing, not spoiled it. The best rated episode is the last, and it is truly worth watching the full show for. Adult or child should enjoy the full story.

Although, without a kid, I would strongly recommend episodes you feel are a bit too boring. The story isn't that deep.",9
"I completely enjoyed Greta Gerwig's outstanding movie Barbie. It was delightful to see on the big screen with the great soundtrack and the eye-popping colors. Margot Robbie was born to play Barbie and she made a great movie even better.

Someone asked why a 60+ adult female like me would go to see this kids movie.

For me, Barbie was such a huge part of my childhood. Playing ""Barbs"" with my best friend as a young girl is one of my most cherished memories. It was something just for girls when we were mostly excluded from being in any lead role in the world (our moms, aunts, grandma's were excluded too). No sports, few female leads in film or television, few jobs outside of the pink collar ghetto we were kept in. Barbie was beautiful and the center of her own story. For this reason I had to go on opening weekend to vote for the world of Barbie, to say, thank you.",10
Plot lines and a script written by people with the minds of 8 year olds for 8 year olds. Kids should love it though.,3
"'Fantastic Beasts' kicks off an all-new franchise in JK Rowling's Wizarding World, set in 1920s New York. Gellert Grindelwald has alienated old friend Albus Dumbledore with his extremist, revolutionary ideas and begun terrorising Europe. Dumbledore, meanwhile, becomes a professor at Hogwarts where his students include Newt Scamander, who is more comfortable around magical animals like Bowtruckles and Nifflers than people. Upon travelling to New York City, however, things do not go to plan.

Right out of the gate, this is a wildly entertaining and simply delightful film. Within the first minute the world and setting are perfectly established, and the Roaring Twenties NYC is gorgeously realised, with a very 20s feeling about the film. The best magic from the Harry Potter films is retained and expanded upon - one of the best things is seeing the wider use of magic outside of an education environment, and a particular highlight is a scene where a strudel is exquisitely assembled and cooked using magic, all seemingly in one shot.

And speaking of the visual effects, they are fabulous. Gone are the shonky creatures like Fluffy and the Cave Troll from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone back in 2001. The breathtaking visual flair is evident, from the intricate plumage of the Occamy to the Demiguise's silky coat (which is used to make Invisibility Cloaks). The standout, however, is the Niffler. A dragon-like obsession with treasure makes for some hilarious slapstick comedy where the adorable little creature, like a mix between a dog and a mole, rampages through a bank and collects a veritable trove of trinkets.

The plot, an original creation from Rowling, is surprisingly good, with some dynamic turns (though this occasionally gives way to poor pacing) and solid twists. The wider magical world is something I've been wanting to see since my first experience with HP, and Fantastic Beasts sets up this world wonderfully, with lots of space for future expansion. One thing this film does really well is kicking off a new franchise - there's a clear feeling that there will be lots of material for future sequels, and just enough teasing of some elements to be intriguing.

There are lots of nice touches in the film which really make it more watchable, from Newt's remarks about the Eastern Front of World War One (dragons), to the NYC-cranky-cab-driver voices of the house elves. Ron Perlman unexpectedly shows up and steals his scene with a delightful caricature of a speakeasy owner that is fabulously over-the-top, and overall the film feels separate enough from HP to work on its own but also connected enough to be accessible to fans.

The standout character is, somewhat surprisingly, Dan Fogler's Kowalski, a Muggle (No-Maj) who is equal parts comic relief and relatable schmuck. The rest of the acting is sometimes a little off, though Ezra Miller is fantastic and Eddie Redmayne seems a good choice for the role of Scamander. At first I thought his acting was sub- par, but I think the fault lies with the writers - whether deliberately or not, he is not characterised very much, though this is probably to leave room for expansion in the sequels.

In fact few of the characters have much development due to the often rushed nature of the film and its abundance of different elements, resulting in a film which is often disjointed and messy. It's also a little too tonally uneven, with some moments just being a bit too broad to hit home and clashing with its darker moments. It's at its best during its lighter moments, not taking itself seriously and having a good time.

All in all this is a must-watch for any HP fan, and should be a delightful watch for any viewer. Despite its flaws, it's a very solid start to a franchise which I hope will be just as good as its predecessor. 79/100.",7
"Meh, just another title. It's a slow movie, don't get me wrong slow movie like The Hereditary is good, this one is not. Boring and unbelievable. Not for me. Although I'm stubborn enough to watch it till the end, I felt regret. afterall.",1

"Season 1 was okay, not great, not terrible just just kinda below average. I wasn't a fan of the pointless time skipping they did in there, it added needless confusion to the story for no reason at all (books didn't do that).

Season2: terrible. Writers forgot what this show is called: The Witcher. And there was almost no Geralt in season 2. I honestly can't say much about season 2 here since I watched it some time ago and it was so incredibly bland I struggle to remember anything that happened there, I just remember it was boring as hell.

Season 3: better than s2, worse than s1. It still sucked. We got few short good moments where we get to see geralt in action and it was fun, but sadly short and rest of the time was filled with this dreadfully slow story telling, where basically nearly nothing happens, or at least nothing interesting, so you keep hoping for the next fix like a junkie ""Please give me Geralt fighting just one more monster, it's in the title of the show god damn it"" but you almost never get that. The whole season had about 3 good combat scenes with Geralt in them lasting few minutes, and that is all you get. Rest of it was mostly just bland and boring progression of story lines you don't even care about anymore since they were established so poorly.

The only redeeming part of this whole train wreck is Henry Cavil. His acting as Geralt is excellent, which makes it all that much sadder he was forced to work under such terrible writers.

Right now Cavil left the show which is good, he was the only thing keeping it afloat and without him it's getting cancelled for sure.

Why is that good? Well, maybe in few years the studio will decide to reboot the show with actually competent writers, who don't actively hate the source material and gives us the Witcher, which we actually want to see. The one from the books.",4
"The cruelty of that German warrior who stabbed the chest of the one who rescued him and gave him water without looking like an enemy when he was glowing from a crashed aircraft !! Victory in war is crazy excitement.

World War I was raging. 1917 April 6. German troops withdraw from the front lines in northern France. Knowing this, the British forces in the Allied forces planned to attack the German army at the right time. But the German army did not actually retreat. That move was a great trap they set for their enemies. It was too late for the British army to realize this. The proposal to attack the German army was gone. All telephone landlines were cut off during the war. Thus, two British soldiers were assigned to rescue 1600 soldiers from the death trap. William Schofield and Tom Blake. Tom's brother Joseph Blake was one of those 1600 soldiers. They both set out to meet Colonel McKenzie, in charge of the Second Battalion, with the General's letter, ""Retreat from attacking the German army."" The camera goes with it. Putting a war movie in one shot, In a single word this was the movie. I can say and editing by Lee Smith was amazing. But it was the talent of director Sam Mendes and cinematographer Roger Dickens who never compromised on its frames or anything.",8
"Lots of jump scare scenes, but none that were truly terrifying. This movie was very reminiscent of 'The Cabin in the Woods' , although this isn't a satire. The acting in the movie wasn't bad, some amount of intended comedy was mixed in. This movie is better than the Nun but doesn't hold a candle to the original 'Conjuring'. Keep your expectations low and you'll probably like the movie.",6
"This movie is quite entertaining, slow but still interesting. I gave it only 2 stars because of the ridicules 21st century designer cloths they were wearing. Nice boots (I bet the boots had out-soles), nice jackets with perfectly designed hoodies, flawlessly trimmed beards and mustaches, perfect teeth, everyone looks clean and tidy even though they were traveling for days. And by the way, why did they live somewhere up north where it's colder and then travel south for days to hunt, wouldn't it be more logical if they moved to those southern parts of the land instead? What kept them up north? And one more thing, why do we have to read subtitles? Can't they just speak English?",2
"From a promising beginning, it spirals into a murky horrific mess , disturbing and pointless",3
"After I started this series, my mouth was open, it was very good. I was amazed, the acting, the script, everything was perfect.",9
"Why does everyone say Selena Gomez is so great in this? I am sure she is a very nice person and people want her to succeed and all that, but she is definitely the weakeat link. Monotone dialog, emotionless face. Unless they make her the killer in the end, which she is not, I can not honestly in good concious say she does a good job, she does not, and this has been obvious to me from the first episode. The actress playing Steve Martins daughter is a way better actress IMO.",8
"Captain America: Civil War is a comic based movie (for those who don't know) and is the third installment in the Captain America. Released in 2016, grossing over $406 million in the United States alone (placing it in the #2 spot for 2016. When I review movies, I like to break it up into different categories, discuss them, and then wrap it up in a conclusion.

Story: I don't like to spoil movies often (especially Marvel releases), so I'm just going to talk about the continuity of the plot. Being that this is a sequel, it could be a little to follow the storyline if you haven't seen the previous installments (or read the comics), but I feel like the story is relatively simple and most audiences can catch on. Being that Captain America (as well as over half of other Marvel characters) are ultimately owned by Disney, it's interesting to see a grittier and darker film. I personally liked the vibe that was given off of the film. This movie was more than a slug-it-out film like Thor or even Iron Man and offers significant material that puts you in a place where you think and relate to the characters and their struggles. There were very few plot holes in the plot, but one thing that did bother me is that some of the newer characters that were introduced had shallow backgrounds and (if you don't follow the Marvel Cinematic Universe or comics) could make you wonder why they are even there. 8/10 Characters: Most of the MCU characters from previous installments are back with the addition of some other characters like the Black Panther and Spider-Man. When there is multiple significant characters in one movie it is easy for characters to get sidelined, but ""Captain"" does a good job of this. I probably should have mentioned this is the story category, but while I'm on the topic of characters, I feel like the title didn't really fit the movie. It doesn't really feel like a Captain America film, it feels more like an Avengers 2.5. Anyways, the established characters show some growth and the new additions are very entertaining and add to the film in many different ways. I'm just going to say that I'm not even sure who the villain is in the movie, it feels to me that it is a matter of interpretation. 8.5/10 Action: Marvel Studios always does a good job when shooting action scenes and ""Civil War"" is no different. I really enjoyed how the characters' powers were incorporated into their fighting style and the film definitely offered some memorable moments that will not be forgotten. With a strong combination of choreographed and CGI fight scenes, the movie has a very strong visual appeal. 9/10 Special Effects: As I mentioned briefly in the previous category, the overall special effects in the film are pretty solid, but I really don't know what to say when I saw Spider-Man's costume on the screen. The whole thing looks like a glossed over, CGI mess and to me became very distracting and looked really out of place. Being that the rights for Spider-Man were acquired shortly before shooting for the film started, it's understandable ... not really. Hopefully Spidey's suit will look better in his upcoming solo film ""Spider-Man: Homecoming"". 8/10 Conclusion: I honestly believe that this is one of the better films in the MCU, and definitely the best of the Captain America installments. I give this movie an 8/10. If you haven't seen the previous Captain America movies I recommend you watch them (except for the first movie. It wasn't that good, but it is important for his back story) and then wrap it up with ""Civil War"". Highly recommended.",8
"For some it's the best game adaptation ever. For others is slow and boring. Well, the truth is somewhere in-between.

For those who think it is slow and boring, I disagree. It follows the plot in the game fairly accurately and keeps to the main character development points. I think it is well acted, and actually think Bella Ramsey gets the mannerisms of Ellie right. The atmosphere of the show is pretty bang on too.

However, it this is not enough to embrace the full impact of the game. Aside from a few flash moments in a couple of episodes, there is just not enough action. You rarely feel a sense of horror and panic. The game was about overcoming the infected and the story parts linked it together (or was it the other way around?) Either way, the show doesn't get this right. If it had, then the horror/action scenes would raise the excitement levels and help engage the audience more. It would also help you connect with the characters more and understand how desperate they all were. I appreciate their desire not to becoming just another zombie show, but too almost ignore it completely? Yep, not a great choice.

Therefore, it does not deserve the 9.1 rating it has and over time this will come down dramatically. I hope that they learn from this and series 2 takes a more rounded approach. It should have been a 12 episode series, to allow this to develop fully. Knowing the extensive content covered in The Last of Us II; I think this will need to be split into 2 seasons of about 8 - 10 episodes each.

I imagine this show is better for those who have played the games first. But still, this is probably a 7.5 show for me. With the extra action, it could be a 9.",7
"Not good to watch. Colors, devices, people and everything is too old. Maybe older folks will like this movie. I prefer modern ones. It's about time travel, hunting criminal, growing up, gender and sex issues, misunderstanding between people, sadness. Too much talk, too ordinary action like shooting. Not enough details. I am not satisfied, waste of time! Story is not clear, not finished, and very complex. You can't connect the dots. Requires very high IQ. Unreal and unexplained. Some devices look like toys without any way to convince us they are real.",4
"If you can survive the awful scoring, editing, and script writing in the first episode, the second and third are decent.",4
"This film has nominations and is meant to be massive but the cast is the only big thing about it! Very slow to actually take off, could be much shorter. Isn't anywhere close to a comedy didn't hear any jokes one bit! All it is is a toned up midsummer murders. Got a bit better in the last hour and actually made the film, but nothing I haven't seen before. It's ok but way to big up and to many big stars for an ok film.",5
"I can almost feel these highly capable filmmakers think : what a marvellous concept to make a film from. Virtual existence. But where does that leave me as viewer. Should I marvell at the special effects and the overall visual aspects of the movie? Should I see it as unpretentious entertainment (like wonderfull 'the Mummy')? No, because everyone is talking ssso ssserious all the time. And all sort of life philosophy stuff is thrown to my head. Should I see it as a timeless peace of art (like say a 'Kubrick')? Hahaha. Well it's a pity the life philosophy bits don't go beyond puberty stage then. So i'm left with nothing but marvellous visuals with a dirty tang and thus a mediocre viewing experience.",5
"All right, this movie was interesting. I did enjoy it, but I wasn't overly impressed. Partly because it was such an odd story and partly because the people of North Dakota were portrayed so inaccurately. As I was watching, I was looking forward to seeing how they would present these totally unique people to me and I was sorely disappointed. Perhaps it's because much of my family originates from North Dakota, but i was hoping to see a part of someone I could recognize, but all the people were just simple, everyday stereotypes of Midwestern folk. Still, the story was intriguing, and though the people didn't seem entirely real to me, they made an amusing spoof. I'd say that it's about a 7/10. Not perfect, but still worth the watch",7
"Imagine every kind of montage you can: origin montage, backstory montage, team up montage. This film is 100% montage. The editing and fast edits made this movie unbearable to watch and I only made it 1/3 of the way through.",4
"The Devil is a Part-Timer review.

Good fun comedy show with a little bit of story, pretty good show that you can just chill and watch.

Worth a watch, and hoping for an eventual second season 7.5/10",7
Not bad but it's the weakest avenger movie. It's just mediocre,4
"Good concept, crap movie! As I watched this, I found myself getting more and more annoyed, everybody in the cinema was in awe of the SFX and not seeing the bigger picture, that is that this film is just another patriotic 'America is better than the rest and everyone should love us' grade D movie. The situation may be different, but the ideology of it is the same. Yeah the SFX are amazing, but the acting sux as does the storyline. i give it 3/10",4
"I understand that the original title is from a book on which the film is based, but it is one thing to read a book called ""12 years a slave"", another to watch a movie: you do not enjoy, nor the beginning, because you already know that will be captured, nor the middle, because you already know that will be released, nor the end, because you would expect from the entire movie. In practice, two and half hours of film ruined by a very wrong way. Then it is no true that the film has made me so enthusiastic. It seems built for very captatio benevolentiae, without much skill on the part of the director and screenwriter. The audience becomes attached to the protagonist, but can not forget the thousands of other slaves who were not already ""free men"" and therefore will never come to be. It has been chosen to tell the story from a heartbreaking point of view, too much personal; if that's okay for an autobiographical book, not the same can be said for a film nominated for an Oscar. The only ten minutes by Oscar are those in which he starred Brad Pitt; I also believe are the ten minutes the most interesting of the whole movie. For the rest, a recommended viewing, sure, but not a masterpiece.",7
"Bird Box has a strong story that engages and is intriguing. The pacing is slow in parts, but the film doesn't feel boring at all.

Good performances throughout the cast and some really decent scenes make this move satisfying and well worth your time.

7/10",7
"I can't stand monotones. They, especially the main actress, have monotones and low energy, so any emotion they try to show literally feels like they're faking it. It's cringe.",2
"Marvel of a cluedolike mystery of whosdunit, a mystery that uses the ideas of the poirot, miss marple and sherlock holmes caracters melted into a neonouve realife mystery drama, at times its so hyperintellectual in its complicacial layers of an onion-idea, a level of IQ, or QI that the grumpy old man strives hard to follow, but its all in the clues given to you if you are just intuitiv and at your perceptional best , then you will feel pretty clever and enhanced on selfconfidence cause you where able to solve it yourself... but ... you could just wait till the end of the charade, the culprit will be revealed in the end.

What beats my grumpy old mind is the aesthetics beauty of locations, very deep shot visuals, and the chimes of glam and glitter, that arouse an athmosphere of fame and richness, the choice of cast could always be discussed, but overall it delivers, especially daniel craig in the devisive detective role where surprisingly good.

So the overall impression is a 7 star, the drawbacks are the underamplified use and choice of musical score, that would have enhance alot when the playtime is as long as it is the glass onion, also must be mentioned the first 30 minutes caracter introduction, rather on the trickster level if im asked.

But its a film worth seeing, its sharpedged and goes very deep on the intellect, but if you should miss the train of clues, therell be light in the other end.",7
Nothing but a series of ads for unacademy.too much emphasis on how great is unacademy and it is going to make u ias. I didn't like it.,1
"It is so sad.. The idea in general is a really good one, especially because I like SiFi very much, but this series is just getting me angry. The characters are not constant and sometimes they are just stupid. There is a good idea and then after the half it gets so stupid..

And I don't know what was wrong with the authors by writing Dr. Smith. I mean, an antagonist is a good instrument sometimes but this one is ridiculous and if they would talk to eachother this person would be locked or killed..

I am sad and angry he same time.. I really wanted to watch and like it it my pulse rises through the top and this is not healthy for me..",5
Big shoes to fill here. Gaga has the vocal chops for sure. The movie just wasn't as good as the last iteration in my opinion. I held out hopes until the last. It just didn't happen.,4
"I tried watching this few times on TV but I didn't laugh at all. The jokes were clichéd or far from funny. Boring and repetitive story line. Some of the characters are toxic to watch. Even the kids characters...

One of the worst sitcoms I've ever seen. Why are these people some of the top paid actors nowadays in television for this show?!?

But what I didn't liked most in this show was the camera work. It gives me massive headache after only few minutes with all that fast moving and zooming in and out all the time! It's really annoying!!! Makes it unwatchable.",1
"Avatar: The Last Airbender deserves some serious credit for introducing a new generation to the anime genre. It is extremely hard to not enjoy this series. It has lovable characters, real dangers, plot development, perfectly-timed comedy and a really well thought out storyline.

This series is perfectly suited to adults and children alike. Don't kid yourself there are serious issues dealt with but many children will miss those themes and will just appreciate the comedy.

If you find yourself enjoying this series then I also recommend you watch The Legend of Korra too. Korra is much darker than Avatar but just as entertaining and intelligent.",9
Jude law and Jonny Depp were not bad I suppose but the move never took off. Maybe my expectations were too high but I won't bother with the next one's.,5
"Without any doubt, it is one of the most complete series available, in terms of character development, plot, enjoyment and pretty much everything else.",10
"This movie was one of the worst movies I have ever had the displeasure of watching. It was so bad, I felt the need to write this. There were just so many things wrong with this movie...

KATIE HOLMES. She cannot act. I always thought she was a decent actress based on the few episodes of ""Dawson's Creek"" I've regretfully seen, but her performance in this movie was on a Britney Spears-Crossroads level of bad. Also, in practically every scene, Katie Holmes appears to be a little chilly (if you catch my drift), and it is so noticeable that I felt the need to throw it in.

EVERYONE ELSE'S ACTING. Christian Bale's performance was a disappointment also. His tone and the movement of his lips reminded me of Donald Trump. And honestly, I feel like Donald Trump probably would have done a better job than Christian Bale in this role. Seriously, it's that bad. The ONLY good actors in the movie were the veterans -- Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman. They are way beyond this movie.

THE SCRIPT. This movie delivered some of the worst and most corny lines I have ever heard in a movie. Seriously, I laughed out loud at some of the things that were said. Liam Neeson had the worst lines of all. I understood maybe three things he said. The rest of what he had to say included all sorts of odd metaphors, or was just unimportant.

THE CAMERA WORK. I was so confused about who was being slapped, shot, punched, etc. The editing was done too quickly so that the film was jumpy, and that was one of the reasons that it was so hard to differentiate who was getting hit. In addition, the camera angles were tight.

Aside from all the negatives, Cillian Murphy was scary. He would be standing idle, and I would get chills. He was good as the villain -- very creepy. I also found the preface to be really random and unnecessary.

In conclusion, don't waste your money or time on this movie. I wish God would refund me the 2 hours and 21 minutes of my life that was wasted seeing this movie.",3
"No surprises, ending was lame and it seemed like a rush job to finish the movie.",4
"If you kept away from spoilers and you purchased your ticketto go see the long waited Endgame...well, you will might end up after 3 hours of watching it, just like me, dissapointed. I know I was! What a mess ! Of course it is intended to patch screenplay holes up, or cut ties with actors that are no longer part of the franchise... But , I mean, come on! Some of the make-up effects are just terrible, and yeah it is a very important Avenger with a very disturbing beard and wig to begin with! Plot, caracter developement, lines, ughh...my expectations dissapeared, you know, snap of fingers! 3 stars given for the few laughs here and there , my favorite characters and 1 epic battle !",3
Two minutes and eleven seconds is the exact amount of time I did not need to realize that it was not worth spending more on following this series (and because the 2003 movie is not great as well I am bound to wait for a proper reboot on the silver screen).,1
The condition of the human soul. Many movies have done it better. The reviews embrace only what they know...why don't they know more? Tom Hanks is OK. Everything about this movie is OK...but only OK. IMDb herd mentality. Internet clickings etc...Learn something about truth. Shaw s hank is missing something. There are much better social justice movies. The ridiculously high rating on the net only shows the net isn't all that its cracked up to be. There is no one in this cast that would put this movie ahead of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD...so why do you? The internet is filled with fools with keyboards. If you believe that this movie is superior to TKAM ...it only speaks to your access to a computer...nothing more. The internet is dead. Reality killed the internet star. Ooops. LOL.,4
"Good acting, but way too predictable. I only watched first six episodes, and don't know if I'll bother watching anymore.",7
"Don't understand the hype for this one ! Good film, but I think it's overrated. The story and idea is great, but some added extra's, like a walking box of metal called TARS, seems unnecessary and annoyingly unrealistic. The story was good and simple, and then it got very complex and difficult to follow, and it seemed only possible to follow if you had at least an A-Level in physics or something similar. It got to the point where you only found the action parts interesting, and the emotional part (which did hit quite hard actually) but by the time the story pieces together any unsolved puzzles I had found I had lost interest. It all does tie in quite well from start to finish, but once again in an unrealistic fashion with some strange dimension we have never seen or heard of before. Good concept, plot twist and ideas, BUT I think it could have been don't better ! There isn't much else to say. I think I was expecting too much just to be led into something so confusing.",4
"From the description of this series, I thought it would be a subversion of the normal superhero tropes, but it's really quite predictable. And a bit too gory for my taste.

If you enjoy the comic book superhero type of entertainment, you may enjoy this. For me, the humorous bits did not work all that well. I quit watching during episode 4 when I realized it wasn't improving and that there are many better shows and movies out there.",6
My friend told me this movie was good and to watch it. I watched it and now he is no longer my friend.,3
"If IMDB ignored the reviews from season 1, this show would've been 9.2/10. I love this show. Epic fight scenes but some episodes are boring. My favourite season is season 4. Season 1 was not that great. If you stop watching after season 1, you would regret it for your entire life. BINGE-WORTHY!!",9

"Visually the show looks good most of the time, although some of the CGI creatures look surprisingly bad for a big show like this.

The show's biggest problem is the writing. It's messy, sloppy, and frankly pretty untalented. The show also deviates drastically from the source material in every possible way, and for no seemingly good reason. It doesn't improve the original story, but instead trades solid themes for weaker ones.

Just the fact that a show named The Witcher turns out not to be about the Witcher, and instead gradually switches focus to one of the side-characters shows how little regard the writers have for the books they've chosen to adapt.

Despite the high production value, decent visuals, and good work by Henry Cavill, the weak and confusing writing makes The Witcher boring and forgettable.",4
"Yep, same old tripe, just a different movie. Superheroes come up against another ""baddy"" and can't cope. Everything starts to grow pear shaped, Superheroes nearly defeated, then ""hey presto"" Superheroes win. Same stuff just churned out time and time again. Rubbish.",3
"This movie I have probably seen about 130 times, it's such a comfort movie for me because of the characters. When you've seen all of the movies this movie is so nice, and the characters are amazing. I love all the friendships growing in this movie. The new characters getting introduced is also very nice. Overall this movie is packed with everything comedy, action and comfort,",10
"Both, Wanda and Vision seem pretty useless Avengers to me. They're the most forgettable of the lot and no one really cares about these two. What's shocking is them getting a damn show no one asked for. What's the need, honestly? Waste of money and waste of people's time. We could make do without these two characters in the franchise and no one would bat an eyelid, but despite this truth, how they get a show is beyond me. Too much spare (/black) money to burn?",9
It seems drowning and dying people in hospital is very rare now a days. I just wasted 55 minutes of my life. DO NOT WATCH.,1
Great show. Lot of action. Plenty good action. Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh&hhhhhhhh,8
"Basically I wanted to watch this because people can't stop yapping about it and of course there was uproar with the sex scenes. So I tried watching it fully with the full 2 episodes. Really lads, I thought it was boring like the scenes were dragging on and on. I get why people like this because it's set in Irish town locations that normally aren't aired and the high rating here on IMDB to bring interest. However it's not for me so I'm giving it the flick I'm afraid....I've seen way better Irish shows than this...",1
"Leaps and bounds better than the original. The original series is unwatchable. This series brings realistic looking special effects, compelling storylines and good acting. Fun to watch.",8
"Yes this has absolutely stunning special effects, in fact I've never seen anything quite like it. How the hell did they film this anyways? Its also claustrophobia inducing and a hell of a thrill ride, yet despite all that Gravity just didn't do it for me.

Now I can't claim to know anything about physics but it all just seemed far-fetched to me, so that basically what you've got here is a disaster movie that without all the amazing visuals is just okay.

Gravity reminded me of ""Apollo 13"", in that everything that could go wrong does, for astronaut Sandra Bullock -who is having the worst day ever. George Clooney is just being George Clooney (he's barely in the movie), a space cowboy playing the same character he is in all of his other movies. Charming, flirty, heroic in a humble way. He was this guy on ER like a hundred years ago.

Anyways I'm sure if I'd seen this in the theatre I would have given it a higher rating as that's how its meant to be seen but that would still be based on the special effects not the story or the acting or the gratuitous floating underwear scene.

Still I don't regret watching it, the effects are game changing and it must have been gruelling for the actors to film. The ending also left things a little vague. Where was Sandra? 5/10/14",5
"It is a film without a soul, in a hurry and with a director who repeats the same formula. No more David Yates in the Harry Potter universe. Hopefully we improve the next movie very much.",2
"I give this movie 3 stars only for its interesting visuals. The story is an utterly trite regurgitation of Pocahontas and Dances with Wolves: See James Cameron saying European/white civilization is bad. See James Cameron saying technology is bad. See James Cameron saying capitalism is bad. See James Cameron saying primitives are naturally wiser, kinder, more ethical, more moral, more ""in touch with nature"", etc. etc. ad nauseum. Of course, Cameron himself made a gazillion bucks with a capitalist enterprise, and has more vehicles and more technology created by the civilization he rakes over the coals than 99 percent of the population, and isn't interested in giving it all up while preaching that the rest of us have to make do with less, but people are obviously untroubled by that.

And, of course, none of the people oohing and ahhing over the primitive culture depicted here have any interest in chucking it all going off to live in the rain forest while wearing a loin cloth, including Cameron, but that's also to be overlooked.",3
"I should write this review tomorrow because I'm still high of watching 'That Day', but I just can't wait. The other comments say it all, it's genius writing. No one saw this plot coming from the first episode of AoT. As the whole story continued for three seasons, the viewer just got more and more curious and invested in the story. Theories sprouted everywhere but they never came close to this. It almost seemed impossible to live up to all those expectations but they just damn did it. I'm very impressed by this show and it's one that just gets better. 10/10",10
"With the high budget this film had, I should not be noticing the staging.

""OK, Mark, you stand there and look annoyed but knowing, Scarlett, look like you're pondering, Chris, focus on keeping some of the accent but not all of it . . . ""

There was no scene in the film where I didn't see with my mind's eye the director on set barking stage direction. Perhaps if the script had been stronger, I wouldn't have noticed. But pair a weak script with a long series of obviously staged (and very non-dynamic) scenes, and you end up with more flat scenes than I can count.

Character development: With this cadre of fun and interesting actors and the huge budget that hired them, you'd think you'd end up with quality oozing out of the screen. No. Robert Downey's Stark was one- note, snarkie, and that's it. A few fun lines, but zero cleverness and no depth. The same with the rest of them. Except for Mark R. and Scarlet J. They were the only two who created anything interesting with their parts - and of these two, Mark R. created a genuinely interesting character in Banner.

CGI: Big budgets mean you shouldn't notice the CGI. In one scene in particular, it was obvious that the actors were in front of a green screen, with the CGI added later. They should blend into the CGI not stand apart and obviously in front of it.

Script: Could the script have been more plodding and obvious? It was not a smart or clever script. It read like . . . a comic book! Perhaps that's all Marvel can do well.",3
Tell me what's the connection between season 2 and its cover shows a yellow egg or anything that is. Weak show. Boring and only 2 last episodes are good so 3 out of ten is suitable.,3
"So to begin with the script typical cliched cat and mouse chase. But when it comes to the screen it just explodes and leave thriller buffs awestruck. The plot points are the ones to watch out for, people who have been reading movie scripts for a long time/ reading Wikipedia plots of movie will be very astonished at the way the plot points are being placed. It's a thriller movie with some horror elements. What's acres is not the appearance of the killer instead it's the BGM and his modus operandi. The actors have done their jobs perfectly. Especially the protagonist 's brother in law and the titular killer.",8
"I love Groundhog Day-esque, time shifting type shows, but Natasha Lyonne ( who I last saw in the slums of Beverly Hills) over over plays the NY Jewish pitch and is far too clever far too often spitting out snappy one-liners.

Everything else is fine if you can get past that.",8
"Shazam! does get a lot of things right - for starters, it features a fourteen-year-old protagonist who's a foster kid; secondly, it has a lighter tone that is sure to get young comic-book fans aboard the DCEU. The film certainly benefits from the presence of a vibrant Zachary Levi (who plays the titular character), although his body language is visibly different from that of Asher Angel's. The disappointing bit is that a lot of the humour (some not exactly kid-friendly) was already disclosed in the trailers.

It's a welcome move on the part of the DCEU to embrace a lighter tone as it moves forward so that it can get the attention of young movie-goers and comic-book fanatics. The film starts rather preposterously - a young Billy Batson makes a fool of the local police in an attempt to retrieve details about his mom who he was separated from, at a local fair many years ago. While this story may sound grim and dull, Shazam! gives it a funny twist. Jack Dylan Grazer, Faith Herman, and Grace Fulton lend ample support as the other foster kids.

What makes the film several notches above the regular DCEU flick is its entertaining villain Dr. Sivana played by Mark Strong (it's a nice touch that the film starts off by detailing his character). Strong is a great actor and a great addition to the DCEU. The film also puts forth a simple yet message that sometimes getting to choose the family around you is not necessarily a bad thing. It even portrays foster families in good light, which was refreshing to see.

Maybe, it's the randomness of the events that lead to Billy getting his superpowers that add to the overall charm of the movie. Levi's portrayal of a superhero who's a teenager deep down and his brotherly bond with Freddy is what keeps the film afloat for the most part. There's quite a lot of self-deprecating humor (especially when Batson needs to deal with supervillains) and that works in Shazam!'s favor. The sluggish CGI 'Seven Sins' are a bit of a bore though. But since they're relegated to playing Mark Strong's baddie aides, that's okay.

There's a whole lot of Superman and Batman in Shazam! too, but in ways that you'd least expect. This almost leads you to believe that their universes will collide in the near future. Director David Sandberg also chooses to leave the name of the superhero ambiguous right till the end (in truly comical fashion), just so that 'Captain Marvel', the name now in use by Marvel doesn't pervade into this flick by any chance. The director also makes it a point to depict the protagonist as someone who makes mistakes, looks at the world from the perspective of an adolescent, and totally rids him of the usual superhero machismo that we've come to expect from these films.

Even when you consider all of that, the DCEU still have their work cut out for themselves, especially in terms of tonal balancing and getting the lead characters across right. This could be a decent first step for a franchise that is to yet fire on all cylinders.",6
Never fear doing something new if u r bored from 9 to 5 vote. Do watch.,10
"i am a 13 year old from the UK so if this review isn't professional, don't judge me.

Jonah Hill, Michael Cera and Christopher Mintz-Plasse did an amazing job on this film. they all took on characters which you would expect to see from their look. also Seth Rogen and Bill Hader did a great job of the cops. they weren't serious like most cops are in teen movies (American Pie 2) i gave the film a 9 out of 10 because i think the film could of used Paul Rudd instead of Joe Lo Truglio as the nervous yet hyper older guy.

all in all it is a great film which you can watch again and again and still laugh like it is the first time.",9

"I was transfixed by Seasons 1 & 2 - they were brilliantly done.

Season 3 made me drop a 9/10 rating to 6/10.

I lasted 1.45 episodes of S3 and had to turn it off. Stilted, predictable, obvious, too much kitsch. All that was missing was the canned laughter, comedy sound effects and the sad trombone when someone made an oopsie.

Disappointing.",6
"It was an emotional ride full of highs and lows, both seasons were truly inspirational. A must-watch for Pakistan today's tech generation. I got inspired and I am sure it will inspire all the stressed-out people out there working for some cooperative firm to think once about what they really need in life.

There's a huge difference between enjoying your job as an employee where you earn for others versus taking the courageous step and doing it all for yourself.

Trust me, you will crack the code once you step outside your comfort zone, one step is all that needs to be taken to live your desired life.

BEST OF LUCK...!!!",9
I feel so lucky to witness this change in India. Loved the movie! Vicky you rocked again bro. Awesome movie. National Award/Oscar winning performances!,10
"Pulp Fiction is good, but it's not as good as Reservoir Dogs. The reason for this is that after his debut with Dogs, Tarantino no longer felt obliged to make his films in any way realistic. I know Dogs is derivative and probably not even realistic, but there is a certain suspension of disbelief - a humbleness in terms of realism - that Tarantino never felt obliged to observe again.

I love The Bonny Situation especially. I love many aspects of the film. But it's too retro and silly. Dogs is more real and shocking.

Jackie Brown I feel he tried again to get the realism, but since then has simply not bothered. It's like he's said to himself: to hell with it... this is the way I am...",6
"It was nice, but on my opinion kind of overrated! Of maybe just not MY kind of movie!",6
"Followed since season 1 and finally had the time to complete the series finale. All the cast are amazing and had amazing chemistry. It felt like family. For once, the cast's personal issues (in this case lack of) didn't affect the show or the finale and everyone minus deceased Ward was there. It was perfect to end the series even though I'm sad it ended but it was a great run. I hope to see agents of shield character in the MCU movies in the future",10
"I was riveted and loved this show. Couldn't wait to watch the next episode. And then the amazing and shattering dud of a nonexistent ending. I don't care if it is some artsy film school positive to end a show with nothing, that is not what I like in my series and movies. I want closure or a final climactic closure to my shows. Instead The Outsider drags you along with the most interesting doppelgänger storyline only to leave you and the edge of the water when the entire point in your life was the jump into the lake. Honestly wish I wouldn't have wasted my time if you were going to give me nothing.

"This film has great visuals, but that is about it. Boring acting jobs by Bullock and Clooney. I don't know why Hollywood feels the need to put miscast ""A-listers"" in every feature. Personally, I feel this film would have been better with relatively unknown actors, rather than stars like Bullock and Clooney that have the exact same screen presence and speech patterns no matter what film they are in. Hard to believe them being astronauts when they have the exact same screen presence of every other role they've had. Go see it for the visuals but try to look past the mailed in performances of Bullock and Clooney and the sappy sentimental introspective look into Bullock's character...Boring!",5
"The guy who played the part of Dylan Rhodes was horrible. I think the guy ruined the movie with his overacting. Anyone else could have done a better job with this role. If you don't mind watching this clown for however long this movie is, then go for it. I think I'm going to change the channel and watch baseball instead. Ruffalo, who I have never heard of before, was a bad choice for this movie. I can't remember seeing him in any other movie, so I am hoping that other casting directors have a better sense of talent. If I happen to see him in another movie, I will gladly stop watching. Funny because I thought Woody Harrelson would have been the reason to not watch the movie. He was tolerable but Ruffalo just stinks.",3

"The show was awesome. At first I was skeptical about Cumberbatch and him being the lead character, however after the first 20 minutes I understood what the makers saw when casting him as Sherlock. Amazing and likeable actor. Each season focuses on different aspects of Sherlock's life, or in each one the makers try things and experiment, which result jaw dropping scenes and very interesting storylines.

I do not understand the hate for the 4th season. While I get that it may not have been the absolute ""this is how you make a detective story"", the season decided to go into depths I couldn't have imagined. I almost cried. The thriller-ish approach fit the show perfectly this season.

After all that, I'd like to mention that while I love Martin Freeman and liked him, his acting was off at some points, especially at the sad parts. IDK, I found 1 scene that should have been really emotional and he just couldn't make me believe that it happened(bc of his reaction), I almost ended up laughing.

THE SHOW IS A MUST.",9

Don't Directors care when they see the daily rushes that we want to see the action, not just hear it ????

Marvel's second tv series in the MCU follows Sam Wilson allying himself with Bucky Barnes to embark on a series of international adventures to thwart the activities of the Flag-Smashers, an anti-patriotism terrorist cell. Over the course of their mission, they test their abilities and patience. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier had us all hyped up following the success of WandaVision. Maybe my hopes were too high, or maybe it's just the show, but in the end I felt letdown. That's not to say I didn't like the show because I did look forward to the new episode each week. It definitely has its issues with story, but it brings the action that we all love to see with each Marvel installment. Firstly, the acting is great. Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan are quite fun together. They gained character development off of each other that couldn't be gained on their own. Fun jokes and disagreements are made along the way for our entertainment. We also get dramatic tension that questions both the characters and us as an audience on where we stand on the matter. It's a little strange to see Sam accepting everything at the end of Endgame and returning to a state of unwillingness, but I can understand even with the small period of time after which it takes place.

When it comes to villains, this is where it becomes a little unstable. The Flag-Smashers were poorly written. Their motives were too surface level to see as an actual threat. Karli, the leader, felt very underdeveloped and could've been such a good antagonist. Part of this is because of plot taken out due to the pandemic, but still much more could've been done. John Walker is one of the more interesting antagonists in the MCU. Wyatt Russell plays him so well and good for him. Literally, I've never seen a character hated so much in the small amount of time we knew him within the first episode. His arc is good and I'm glad to see how unhinged they went.

As for story, this is the root most of the problem. The story is good, but nothing special. This story isn't anything new or groundbreaking. Marvel likes to milk all they can out of each character or story from last installments, and this felt like one of the cases where ideas ran low but hyping it up made us all want more, not like we weren't going to complain about it though. Earlier I mentioned that some plot was taken out due to the pandemic, and the same happened to WandaVision. Another episode or two would've benefitted the series. The first episode took a slower approach, which I liked. But the next two episodes were still setting up which felt weird considering that was halfway through the series. The last three episodes go by fast and are better than the first half. Still, plot was missing. We were introduced to ideas that never reached a fair conclusion. The announcement of a potential second season does make sense in this case. With WandaVision there's not more to be said, but in the case of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier more could be added to reach a proper conclusion. I wouldn't mind seeing more because it's a fun show to watch. There's really good action, a fun duo centering it, and Zemo dancing in the club! In later episodes, I'm glad that Marvel took to serious topics and not ignore issues within the world today and spanning decades ago. Finally, the conclusion with Captain America is such a great choice and anyone who disagrees is wrong. The Falcon and the Winter Solider may have left me wanted I more, but I'll take what I can get.",7
"I enjoyed season 1 and 2 but really season 3 is crap. Basically ""The days of our life"" in costume where all the women are super fighters and the men useless and bad. Ceri was suppose to be a standout fighter even as a women but know she fades into the background with all the ""great"" women fighters. I understand why Henry Cavill jump ship ...not because its sinking but because its already at the bottom of the ocean. Get back to what made season one excellent or this will just be another failure. I see one reviewer said he enjoyed season 3 and gave it a 10 but he did not enjoy the games or the books. WOW what a way to expose yourself as an idiot. Probably the writers brother and the directors cousin.",1

"Jon Favreau has finally given us a sequel to the amazing super hero movie that was Iron Man. Tony Stark is back to give us more witty one liners, smashing action, and to sleep with all 12 Maxim cover models. Unfortunately, the sequel is beginning to show a few signs of what I like to call sci-fi syndrome. It has gotten a little bit too in love with itself, and as such is going too much in depth with side characters. In the first movie, Robert Downey Jr and Jeff Bridges dominated the screen time, showing off Gwyneth Paltrow on the side when it could, and this lead to a great feeling of the hero against the villain. In this sequel, Mickey Rourke did an amazing job in his character, was actually intimidating, and seemed completely cool, but he hardly had any screen time at all, so it was impossible to actually see him as a powerful villain to be feared. Jeff Bridge's character was clearly evil and a force to be reckoned with. This dilution of the villain and hero lead to this movie's fall from grace.

Now, I do need to point out here that the movie was enjoyable. The action scenes were gripping, and the funny and cool lines were still there. It was just clearly inferior to the first movie, and therefore a letdown. The characters were weaker, and the acting from everyone except Robert and Mickey was a bit unpolished. The movie was still fun, and it was still worth seeing, but it wasn't anything great like the first would have lead us to believe this would be. Is it worth $10 down at the cinema? Maybe if you're really bored. But if you have a decent TV, maybe wait to get this one from Netflix and save yourself a few dollars. Overall, Iron Man 2 receives a 7/10 from me.

There is nothing in this movie except fighting. What it is about? I don't know because all I saw was fighting. This movie is 100% fighting.,2
Firstly i am totally speechless after watching this movie. I do not have any words to match the highness of this movie. While watching this movie i was like what what what!! Is it really Bollywood? Special mention for director aditya dhar what a direction and also superb enthusiast acting of vicky kausal. This movie is not political it is based on our very proudfull and honourable Indian Army.and yes support of central government is fully required. I think every person and specialy Indian must watch this movie. What a start of 2019!!,10
"Rating: 6

I have watched all the MCU movies till date and read a lot of comics. However I had zero idea about this character. I thought of giving this TV show a try and it's good. I would say it's quirky and offbeat. The marketing team has probably done a below par job at advertising this show. Considering it's MCU I was expecting this show to have a wider reach.

But anyway the good parts of the show are it's humor, animation, soundtrack and the references. The plot is fairly simple - a monkey out for vengeance. I won't say it's a must watch but you can stream it when you have time to kill.",6
"An out and out action, If you are an action movie fan, you will experience a lot of jaw-dropping moments while watching this film.

Not jusst another review brings to you the most talked-about Netflix movie that has some mind-blowing action scenes Starring Chris Hemsworth, Randeep Hooda, Pankaj Tripathi and Golshifteh Farahani Extraction is centered on rescuing Ovi, the son of an Indian Druglord who has been kidnapped by a Bangladeshi Drug lord Amir Asif. This movie predominantly shows the rivalry between the 2 drug lords. Pankaj Tripathi has about a 30-second role in the film, where he is seen in a jail instructing Saju, his accomplice to rescue his son Ovi from Dhaka or risk his own son's life. Now Saju has accepted this precarious task unwillingly to save his family but he knows it won't be easy to get Ovi back from Dhaka, it would be like one Man v/s a Country. He knows someone who can help accomplish this task on his behalf, Tyler, a black market mercenary. Tyler easily accepts this task and sets out to accomplish this mission backed by his team member, Niz. The film starts with the climax scene where Tyler is shot, making us wonder whether the movie would live up to the hype and expectation. The moment Tyler reaches Dhaka, Bang Bang, the action starts, the hand to hand combats, Knife fights, guns, bazookas, bombs, helicopters, sniper. Tyler has all the firepower one man would ever need to fight a country. There are some emotional moments in the movie. amid Ovi's rescue mission when he tries to look back at his life, he realizes his father treated him like a possession more than his son and in this process ends up knowing Tyler's story where he learns about his 6yr old son who is no more. There is a certain bond that develops between Ovi and Tyler. The USP of this film is action, action and nothing but action and is so well directed that it is difficult to comprehend this is Sam Hargrave's directorial debut. Sam Hargrave is a stunt coordinator at Marvel Universe and it comes as no surprise that he strapped himself around the car with a camera and said action. The scenes between Tyler and Saju are a treat to watch. A scene where Tyler and Saju fall from the balcony straight on to the road and the way the camera follows them will keep the audience gasping for breath.

All in all, this movie is a treat for action junkies, it will surprise you with stunts u would have never seen before, the fights look very real and is very fast paced.

Extraction is based on a book called Cuidad. The film's working title was initially Dhaka but was changed to Out of the Fire and finally, the makers settled for Extraction. The shooting took place in Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Thailand.",7
"All credits to Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson and others but the movie itself is the absolute most boring I've ever seen. A friend of mine asked me about the story but I just couldn't give him a straight answer. I told him it was about a man in his 50-ies doing a whiskey commercial job in Tokyo meeting a young girl at the hotel which he spent a night out with singing karaoke and then there arose some romantic chemistry between them...that's it...taking 102 minutes... The worst thing is that I saw it at the cinemas and actually spent money on it. This is a movie that I absolutely not will recommend to anyone but film critics who don't dare to criticize this movie.

Or maybe it's just me not understanding the fantastic greatness of this movie...",1
"As I'm not from the ""golden era"" I'm movies as people are talking about and born too late, this movie was not entertaining nor exciting at all. No plot and no character building. Rated 3/10 because of the good acting",3
"Starring Amitabh Bachchan as Vijay Borade --a character based on the life of a retired sports professor Vijay Barse, who founded an NGO called Slum Soccer, Jhund is an entertainer of a different breed.

Amitabh Bachchan is one of the most experimental actors we have and the megastar proves his mettle yet again. He isn't the only driving force and never does he try to be one. The megastar leaving his superstar image aside, takes the backseat when needed and becomes a backbone to the narrative. Most of the actors have been picked from the streets and have given true to life performances. Ankush Gendam is a find and so is Rajiya Kazi. Rinku Rajguru and Akash Thosar too shine in their brief roles.

While Nagraj Manjule has taken a documentary-like approach, he's made sure the film entertains as well as educates. The football choreography is brilliant and gives you the impression of watching a match on the big screen.",7
"Just finished episode 5. A lot of the reviews complain about the lead, but I found Alison Pill far more obnoxious. There are too many sociopaths in the show, some it seems you are meant to feel some level of empathy for. The sci-fi aspects often remind me of films of the 70s, which I did enjoy. And Jin Ha is a definite bright spot.",6
"Jodha Akbar As this is a BIG movie with so much effort gone into it, I would try to write a review that is more comprehensive of everyone's expectations and how well or not well the movie is meeting them.

The story is about one of the greatest Mughal rulers of India – Jallaluddin Mohammed Akbar (Hritik Roshan) and his fictional love affair with a Hindu Rajput princess – Jodha bai (Aishwariya Rai). The matrimony between them is fixed more as a political checkmate between king of Amer (Kulbhushan Kharbanda) and Akbar, but once Jodha and Akbar meet – the real love story evolves fascinatingly. The respectful and tolerant Akbar is shown giving enough leeway to listen to what Jodha has to communicate to him – verbally and non-verbally. This changes Akbar in the way he looks at his kingdom and subjects. There are a few sub-plots; one, the conflict between Jodha and her mother-in-law (Ila Arun), the treachery of Akbar's brother-in-law to topple him and rule India and the terrorist attack on Akbar.

Ashutosh Gowarikar's attempt to be among big wigs like K.Asif and Kamal Amrohi who made beautiful period films is clearly seen in Jodha Akbar. Ashutosh has tried to include enough of commercial masala into the movie – enough fight sequences, action sequences, songs and dance, great visuals, music, cinematography to present a painted canvass for Indian audience. He has also gelled well the contemporary political topics that bother India – the dominant of it was about Hindu and Muslim unity.

Hritik Roshan has tried his best to portray Akbar in his best possible way. Except his slim body looks – he fits well into the role and renders it with acumen. Aishwariya Rai is picture perfect throughout and acts with amazing grace.

There are several moments in the film worth remembering. A few I can mention are: the initial war sequences, Hritik fighting and taming an elephant, the Ajmer wale Khwaja song and Hritik's trance dance, the bare body Hritik adored by Aish, the bitter sequence between Aishwariya and Ila Arun, the final Troy style fight scene, the sword fight scene between Hritik and Aishwariya, the tender song picturisation in the second half between Hritik and Aishwariya, and all great long shots of Palaces and Rajasthan landscape. There are ample number of scenes that would have been hard to visualize let alone picturize! Kudos to Ashutosh.

The music reminds us of Lagaan hangover – and the in-between beats also remiscents of Lagaan songs (especially Zam chananana, Zam chananana…), but A.R.Rahman has given soul rendering music and Sonu Nigam has sung the songs superbly.

The style of Ashutosh is slow and time consuming. Definitely he could have edited some scenes during scripting itself.

Apart from Jodha and Akbar, and mother in law Ila Arun – strangely all the characters are under developed. This tore my heart, because in Lagaan and Swades each character was given enough glory to be on its own. This leaves Jodha Akbar lacking in some ways – and not totally fulfilling experience.

There would be obvious comparisons with Mughale Azam and Lagaan. Let me tell you that Jodha Akbar is no way any close to the greatness of Mughale Azam or Lagaan, but it will be well remembered as a good well made movie.

Regarding the controversy around Jodha being Akbar's wife or daughter in law – how do I care? I have gone to see a good story and a good movie and Jodha Akbar delivers that. What more we want in name of entertainment? I would leave the controversy to desperate zealouts.

Most of the movie is shot in Rajasthan and North India, and it shows various birds besides queen Jodha. Knowing that Rajasthan is full of peacocks – not a single peacock is shown in the movie. There are a few peacock feathers on the tables, and a few background score of peacock's cry – but not a single visual of a peacock! What a pity? Ashutosh – how can you miss that!!! (Stars 7.5 out of 10)",7
"This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The most stupid plot, no action, no laughs, no ""food for thought"". Further, the characters are terribly dull and the acting far from acceptable. From the very beginning, I never did understand what was going on. And after about 20 minutes, I didn't care. The ending was the silliest thing I've ever witnessed. Anyone who says this is a good movie must either be getting paid or else is trying to impress someone. No one, and I mean no one, who enjoys movies could find a single redeeming quality in this bomb.This is another case of the race some directors are having to see who makes the craziest movie ever,for which they think they've made a ""Masterpiece""",1
"Huge sucker for Sci-Fi here. I inhale all things Sci-Fi and I really wanted to like this title. But the characters were so artificially hollow it was unwatchable. We're talking hormone crazed teenagers preoccupied with their instagram feed and showing no scientific curiosity for their environment. Conflicts were so contrived it was ridiculous. Unwatchable. Absolutely horrific writing, giving the actors nothing to work with.",3
"I've given it 10 (although it's not far off) just to make up for the silly reviews on here giving it low scores because it's so ""preachy"". Well, you've completely missed the point of this film (and the Barbie brand altogether).

Margot is the perfect Barbie and I'm certain this film wouldn't have been even half as good without her in the role. She has the looks obviously but also the humour and the brains to make it her own.

I've never been a fan of Ryan Gosling but finally a film where he can just let loose and be a bit silly. He actually does it very well. The supporting cast are just as good. The sets are incredible. The music and dance routines memorable.

Taking something like Barbie and making it an enjoyable film for everyone was going to be tough. A lot of it will go over the heads of younger children but that's ok. They'll love the colours and the music. For everyone else, there's just pure joy. And yes there's a strong message throughout but why shouldn't there be?

The only misstep was Will Ferrell's character...well I say character. It feels like he said ""I would like to be in it"" so they stuck him in with no thought at all as to how he fits. But don't let that take anything away from what is, I think as a 38 year old man, a joyous couple of hours on film.",10
"Overall, I thought it was OK, but it seems that Marvel/Disney just don't know how to keep a good thing going. This started out as a pretty good superhero series with a good story and interesting characters, but eventually it devolved into yet another Marvel over the top action flick... yawn.

***Warning below may be considered mild spoilers to some***

I very much disliked Walker as Captain America right from the beginning, and he turned out to be the piece of crap I thought he would be. I do like Sam as ""Captain Falcon"", and look forward to seeing more of him. I also liked his speech at the end, though it was a bit long winded.",6
I'm such a big fan of game of thrones. Even to the point that I was not disappointed in the ending. I was so looking forward to house of dragons but so far I'm a bit disappointed. Overall it's all been kind of dull in every way. Is the cinematography different? I can't really put my finger on it. Not even blown away with the dragons. Why are they now so lack luster? Before when they were in a scene I could vividly imagine riding one. I could see every scale. Also the characters don't pop. With GOT I instantly felt a connection with the characters. I literally wanted to reach through the screen and slap the evil ones. I adored so many others instantly. Then there were the ones I hated at times but also felt empathy towards. The parts were so well defined. So far I really don't feel a whole lot towards anyone on the show. Is it just realllyyyy sllooowwww? I'm often a little board watching. I hated to type that but it's true. I'm going to keep watching. I'm super hopeful that some kind of intensity builds up. That I'm engaged with the characters. That I can't wait for the next episode to air but so far I am a bit let down.,5
"Some great acting by the two here, but what's the point. There's no story and the black&white just adds to the misery. And the ending was of bad taste too.",3
"I must admit that after seeing jon favreau in couples retreat i felt that this one might suck, especially since it had to live up to the high hopes of the pretty good first one. Luckily for me it was pretty decent and i could rest easy knowing that favreau got into couples retreat for the money (i hope), that he hadn't gone completely crazy and got into that piece of trash for the plot.

Still, they are no real OMFG moments here, the comedy is the real gem of this picture, with Downey Jr continuing to show he is a master of subtle clever wit. All in all it was definitely a good time at the movies with friends, just not really anything to write home about.",6
"Adds nothing new other than that dreadful #x22;song"". Lost a lot of the character and life of the original. Closing fight goes on interminably. Avoid if you liked the original. Actually, just avoid. I had 2 hours to kill before I could check-in to my hotel but still feel like my time was stolen from me.",4
"The first movie was unexpectedly good movie with all the, well, fantastic beasts, but this movie failed to recreate what was special about the first. This didn't even feel like an actual movie of it's own, it's more like a setup of what's to come. Maybe this movie would work if watched directly before the next one, but as it is now, it's just a boring film with little substance.",2
"Time and time again my friends berate me for not seeing this film and yet consider me to be something of a 'movie buff'. So they duly sat me down on Saturday night with a curry and the director's cut for my entertainment and delight.

All I can say is, there's 3 hours of my life I'm never going to get back. Don't get me wrong; I'm a big fan of gangster movies, I've studied some of the early Cagney/Robinson films and seen most of the more important ones: Scarface, Casino, Goodfellas - I even stayed awake through Once Upon A Time In America. But The Godfather was agonising. Slow, meandering, overly-complicated, lacking punch - what it lashed out in bullets and horses heads, it certainly lacked in dynamite. Watching The Godfather is the cinematic equivalent of the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds; 30 years on it's impossible to see why on earth it was considered so ground-breakingly new and exciting. But by all accounts Coppolla was making a brave movie here, reintroducing a genre stuck in the 1920's and lavishing 168 minutes on the minutiae of one Mafia family.

And lavish it he does. The only thing I can say in its defence is that the production design was superb, it lacked for nothing, the overall look of the film was excellent. The budget must have been colossal. What a pity the plot and the dialogue didn't live up to its promise. With a cast so huge and impressive as well, it's twice as pitiful.

The legendary Marlon Brando couldn't fail to disappoint - the poor man's legend - in my opinion - far exceeded his talent. I understand the director begged Brando to come out of retirement for this, although I kind of wish he'd stayed there. His incessant mumbling, padded cheeks and all, peering out of dark corners and scratching his face just had me turning the volume way up high and becoming increasingly frustrated. Diane Keaton just played Diane Keaton/Annie Hall (her real name, trivia hounds)as usual, with an increasingly terrible haircut. She looked like she wasn't sure what she was doing in the movie any more than we did, she just looked like she wanted to go home. Her relationship with Pacino totally lacked chemistry and I found his return to her from Sicily as a widower highly unbelievable. Even Pacino's 'thunderbolt' relationship with Apollonia seemed contrived and wooden - I know he's meant to be a hard man but he remained so poker-faced throughout the movie I lost any feelings of sympathy for him.

The best part I felt was played by James Caan, whose character was labelled as 'hot tempered' by his father (is that what it takes to be interesting within the Corleone family?!) so of course he met a predictably sticky end like a lot of the better characters. I found a lot of the meandering plot very predictable - to the extent where I was annoying my die-hard fans who put on the show for me, but I couldn't help it: ""Something tells me Apollonia isn't going to get out of that car"" etc. The plot didn't really go anywhere, it just seemed to be setting itself up for that sequel; every 20 minutes or so Brando/Pacino were inviting people to take advantage of 'an offer they couldn't refuse'. It was laughable.

Other than Caan's, none of the characters were the slightest bit appealing; the outrageous behaviour of Tommy in Scorsese's Goodfellas, for example, is counterbalanced by his likable personality: you're laughing in spite of yourself. Pacino's protagonist in Scarface is the same - snorting copious amounts of cocaine and waving a gun around - you still care about the guy, however monstrous he's become. But Pacino in The Godfather was just a cartoon bad-ass, like the rest of them, identikit baddies with no depth whatsoever, no remorse, no weakness, no humanity, no growth. When Brando stumbles to his death among the tomato plants in play with his grandson I take that to mean that Coppolla was showing us Vito had a heart but really, it was too little too late.

Coppolla may well have been brave in 1972 to reintroduce a decidedly unfashionable genre on a conservative audience, and for the time it might have been a breath of fresh air, but the glamour and pace of subsequent, better, gangster fare puts The Godfather in the shade, however responsible the film may be for the genre's future output.",4
"The most hyped up anime of last year. And it definitely lives up to the hype.

The premise of the anime is that huge humanoid creatures called Titans almost drove humanity to the brink of extinction several 100 years ago. The only way humanity was able to survive was to build huge walls and live inside them. Very interesting stuff, and the story builds up nicely too. Since humanity is mostly in the dark about the titans, we as a viewer are subjected to the same treatment and slow reveals of new info as the plot about them as the plot moves forward is always exciting and shocking. The atmosphere is very grim and desperate. Sadness, hopelessness, loss etc is always looming overhead, perfect for this type of premise.

This anime has an extremely EPIC!! feel to it. The soundtrack, the speeches, the motivational talk, and of course the action, all have the highest level of epicness applied to them. In fact, the word 'Epic' falls short to describing it. And this is the strength of the anime. Underneath all this epic layer, you will find a large set of interesting characters, subplots and conflicts, all of which are far from being the best but are good enough. The protagonist is a good mix of shonen ingredients with nothing in excessive quantity. Its the EPIC layer over it which amplifies everything and even the simple stuff becomes awesome.

The animation quality is superb, one of the best I have seen so far in an anime. The environment, huge fights and fast movements of the characters using there gears is beautifully imagined and rendered. So pretty!! The action was OH SO SATISFYING. I can't express how awesome it was, extremely adrenaline fueled and impactful.

Soundtrack, like I mentioned earlier, is epic. Loud orchestral pieces like the ones you gear in end of the world type videos really amplify the on screen action.

On the downsides, it sometimes abruptly shifted tones, which was somewhat distracting. Also, some of the later episodes had slower pacing, which normally wouldn't have been a bother but seeing how explosive the earlier episodes were contrasted the later slower ones.

Overall, an amazing EPIC anime. One of the best I have seen. I haven't this much fun/enjoyment watching an anime since Fate/Zero (Another epic anime). If you still haven't watched this anime, stop everything and watch it asap, if nothing else you'll at least enjoy the epicness. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

"Well, it's TV... I guess you can say that with a lot of stupid decisions but it's a shame you HAVE to, isn't it?

Visually stunning, great cast, and a lot of good sci fi problems that are handled with something resembling science, a lot of good things about this show.

But who on earth would let a 10 year old emotional boy be in the middle of life or death situations again and again?

No matter how bright he is, he is a CHILD... think about it, you and all you know is in danger, REAL danger, would you bring a 10 year old to save your life or tell him to help back at the base where he can't do anything wrong?

Stupid decisions and emotional decisions are okay in my book, bright people get it wrong some times, in the middle of a crysis, after not enough sleep etc. People make mistakes in real life it's fair game they do it here.

But bringing a child into situations where he isn't even strong enough to make a difference, the only thing he can do is get it the way and cause problems, and if that's the ONLY way you can make up problems for the people on the show, get better writers!

Noone in charge of a space mission would leave anything but sorting socks to a 10 year old, there is a reason you only see grown up astronauts in real life.

EDIT: Having seen season 2 and 3, I very much like the visual effects. I don't like how time is of the essence because a huge danger can arrive at any moment and they (time and again) have time to hug, joke around, talk about personal problems, BEFORE they get going. That reminds me too much it's a show where they have to remember their dialogue at all costs in all situations.",6
I wish they still made movies people care about and will remember. Sadly this one sucked.,1
"It's a long time watching cartoons, but this was something special. This masterpiece is filled with interesting characters and amazing story lines, sometimes it's a bit silly but what do you expect for a cartoon. But the message this show gave at the last is a lifelong message which makes me surprised I never thought it will turned out like this. In a nutshell, this cartoon is a masterpiece and you should watch it.",9
"Season 1 had a lot going for it but in season it stagnated like many shows do. It went from S1 nostalgic rebel anarchy to S2 ""mediocre housewife"" storytelling. It had potential.",7
"I don't hate hyper-realism. It's a valid form of art like any other and I enjoy looking at it. The 3D modelers and animators deserve praise as they did an excellent job here. The expressions on the animals were very bad, but animators must take orders from their superiors so I'm not going to jump in and immediately blame the artists.

The color palette for this movie was bad. All they took away from the original was the sunrise. Everything else was boring to look at.

They tried to explain some things that had been left to mystery in the original, for example, the hyenas are ostracized because they don't show respect for life. I didn't really mind, but didn't care either.

The humor was copypasted from the original, but fell flat. In the Timon/Pumbaa diversion scene, they pretend to sing a Beauty and the Beast song, which made me cringe. Ed and Bonzai have been removed from the hyena trio. Instead there's not really a ""trio"" at all. There's one who likes to complain about personal space, and Eric Andre's best efforts can't make his hyena amusing. Shenzi has lost any humor and is instead a bland villain. She doesn't show any preference for replacement-Ed and replacement-Bonzai (whose names are apparently Azizi and Kamari).

The whole time I really just wished I was watching the original. This is another cash-grab, and it was obviously just trying to entice fans by waving impressive CGI modeling around.",4
"The first 2 episodes were ok but the the series became more and more illogical and poorly filmed as it progressed. The final few episodes are all over the place, making very little sense. Very disappointing and amateurish ending.",1
"The latest impressive adaptation of a Stephen King novel focuses on a murder investigation that takes an eerie turn. I had seen some of the episodes of ""The Outsider"" when it first aired but got sidetracked. I've now finally gotten around to watching the whole thing. One fine miniseries. You just gotta see it.",8
"In a tough inner city Boston neighborhood, the child of an arguably unfit mother goes missing. Contacted by the child's aunt to supplement the police investigation, young, pint-sized but tough Patrick Kenzie (Casey Affleck) is asked to help with the search. Kenzie, along with his partner/girlfriend, Angie, demonstrates his mettle as he conducts his street level investigation in run down bars full of uncooperative misfits and scum-of-the-earth. Although striving to be dark and complex, the film is more memorable for its stupid plot twists and, in any case, still includes the expected abducted baby drama clichés. The audience is supposed to be caught up in the moral dilemmas faced by the hero, but the story is so unlikely, by the end of the film these situations cannot be regarded very seriously. Some credit for the portrayal of local people in this tough Boston neighborhood, many of whom seem genuinely frightening and contemptible.",4
"When it was released in 1996, ""Fargo"" met public and especially critical acclaim and collected several rewards. But I think that if the Prize for the Best Directing at the Cannes festival was absolutely justified, on the other hand, Frances McDormand didn't deserve her Oscar in 1997. William H.Macy should have won it. His performance as an hypocritical and dishonest car seller is powerful and unforgettable.

What is amazing in ""Fargo"" are the landscapes, the sceneries and above all the characters. The Coen brothers said about the movie: "" the landscapes, the sceneries are an integral part of the movie. They are typical of the Midwest as well as the characters with their sensitivity and their mentality"". They know what they are talking about since they come from the Midwest, more precisely from the Minnesota. As a consequence, they must have been at ease by making this thrilling movie.

Concerning the characters, they are the subject of a realistic and down-to-earth description. Each of them has a different but not very status-enhancing characteristic: William H.Macy's cues are almost always hesitating, unfinished or unsure, the two gangsters are just silly guys (one of them nearly never talks) and most of the inhabitants including Frances McDormand are narrow-minded. By this way, the Coen brothers wanted to underline their meanness of mind and the fact that they are firmly rooted in their land of the Minnesota.

Apart from the characters and although the movie is based on a true story, I am obliged to recognize that the script and the way the movie is designed have nothing new. But nonetheless, the tone is daring, there's black humor cleverly used (notably in bloody moments) that contrasts with a quiet even neutral directing. As for the snowy landscapes, they will later inspire Sam Raimi for ""a simple plan"" (1998), a movie as successful as ""Fargo"".

""Fargo"" is eventually the finest movie made by the Coen brothers and its place in the top 250 is thoroughly justified.",9
"Couldn't stop watching the next episode and the next and the next, I love it so much. It's very funny, I love their bond & friendship too. I'm really glad that I watched this show.

Uncle Iroh, Toph, Zuko, Aang, Appa, Sokka, Katara are some of my favourite characters. I like every episode no matter what. Each episode is precious. I like the background music, sound effects, I'm excited for the new movies and shows in future.

Definitely giving it 10 stars. I don't have any complains. Watched it while I was 21 years old at university. Rewatched it 3 years later. Still find it funny, wholesome. I hope that I can watch it with my kids in future. I watched it with chinese voice over.",10
"What a waste of time and money. Bad direction, bad script and a very bad cutting. The movie has a few good scenes, but the dialoques are really stupid, even the complete story. I don't know, when Michael Bay made his last good movie (it is a long time ago) but now he is on the buttom of his career. 3 points because of the good scenes, especially at the high tower.",3
"The first godfather was one of the most special films ever produced, but the second is a sequel and a prequel mixed into one spellbinding three hour movie event. The fact that Robert de Niro played a young Marlon Brando is ironic as the young de Niro was fast claiming the crown as one of the best actors of that or any other generation. The detail in the locations and set design is immense and well worth a closer look. The acting is amongst the finest ever seen on the screen and the direction is simply out of this world. Overall, one of the greatest films ever made, with an ensemble cast and script to match.",10
"Another mind numbing addition to the multimillion dollar comic book universe. Is the world bereft of adults or are we just man-children to adore comic book movies this much? Please people, for the love of god, GROW UP ALREADY! This is for 11 year olds, a wet dream for teenagers at most! What's wrong with IMDB? Getting paid to over hype this trash??",4
Maja nahi aya yaar is movie me bore ho gya mai ye movie dekh ke,5
"Where to begin with this one? First, there is zero reason for The Avengers to be fighting each other. The whole conflict is contrived simply to present an over fluffed fight scene between Avengers.

Think of a person looking for a fight for no apparent legit reason just so he/she can say, "" I kicked someone's ass last night,"" and that pretty sums up the contrived so-called fighting reason between Avengers here. No tension, nothing is at risk, attempts to insert comedy inappropriately and feels like a WWE wrestling match.

Convoluted in the sense that The Winter Soldier's back story regresses into some weird thoughtless and lazy story writing thing here. The strong bond and character development Bucky and Steve Rogers have in the first Captain America film now is contrived and shallow -- absolutely no heart.

Stark's reason to be ""pissed off"" is highly contrived and added as an afterthought in an attempt to justify his so-called 'rage' which is more in line with a boy with his feelings hurt than a man who is genuinely full of anger.

I must have missed something with this film that the majority of people (or paid reviewers?) didn't. In my opinion, this film is average at best, and on par with Iron Man 3, but better than BvS as that film may be the worst 'superhero' flick ever made.

I always know when I'm not liking a film when I say to myself ""this film seems really long"" halfway through, then check the time to verify exactly how long it's been running.

Verdict - It's not terrible but it's not good. Think of a meal consisting solely of cheap store bought preservative filled White Bread and that sums up how I feel about this film.",5
This movie allows you to be the concern parent and police detective at the same time. It keeps you on the edge and in your seat if you allow it. I did wish both mother characters played a bigger role rather than a back seat. You really do not see any other police character members care. Really wished that all the character family members played a bigger role in the movie. The older girl in one family seem to just fade away from the movie. I felt the family characters played to much of a back seat. This movie has no concern parents in this town. It felt like a child was telling this story to us. I felt the movie was to long. This movie did not have enough scary scenes. I also felt the writing of the characters did not say much about who they were. There was no history and no front story to any of the characters in the beginning of the movie.,5
"I always start my reviews of comic-book hero stuff by saying that I'm more a DC Universe kind of guy rather than making mine Marvel. I'd also say that I've found the recent DC shows like ""Arrow"", ""The Flash"" and ""Gotham"" to be superior to the less focused ""Agents Of Shield"" indicating that while Marvel may be winning the comic-wars on the big screen, DC was ahead on the small one. Finally, I have to admit that with hindsight, it's probably better to review a series like this not based just on the first episode as after slightly lukewarmly rating the three DC shows above after a single viewing that I'm kind of hooked on all of them, many episodes later.

So what of Daredevil then? I remember all too well the aimed-at-teens flashy - trashy Ben Affleck first try some years ago and really hoped for better this time and I'm glad to say I got it. After a brief, here's-how-he-got-this-way prelude, the action shifts to the present day and the topical subject of people trafficking as a mysterious man-in-black busts up a nighttime girl-smuggling operation. As things turn out, this operation is linked into a bigger criminal organisation with tentacles everywhere, run by an up till now unseen kingpin.

By coincidence our self-same black-garbed hero, in his everyday guise as a budding criminal attorney, together with his wise-cracking portly partner, takes on as his first case the defence of a seemingly water-tight murder perpetrator, but with smarts enough to match his nocturnal fighting skills, Matt gets the set-up girl off and finds himself defending her against the full force of the Mafia-type organisation working a multi-million dollar pension scam, which she as an employee has uncovered.

By the end of the first show, said girl has joined Team Daredevil and markers have been put down that our hero will no doubt on a weekly basis take on the big bad organisation in its various and multifarious guises, giving the show its running story.

Of course there are similarities with other characters, I mean Daredevil always seemed to me like Marvel's answer to DC's non-super-powered denizen of the night The Batman while his backing cast obviously mimics Hoppy and Pepper in Iron Man. Nevertheless, by playing down the super-hero aspect, even to the extent of eschewing the familiar maroon Daredevil costume from the comics, plus not referring to him by name (both like in ""Arrow"") and setting the action in New York's grainy and rainy Hell's Kitchen, this plays much more like ""Gotham"" in style and is all the better for it.

I like the three main leads, the dialogue is pithy and the action scenes, as you'd expect, are crisply choreographed. I hope the show continues in the style of this opener, gritty and believable but also with excitement and human interest. If it does, I'll be adding another comic-hero fix to my growing play-list.",8
"""That Day"" is the 20th episode of the third season of Attack on Titan. Continuing further on Grisha's past from the previous episode, ""That Day"" uncovers the hidden fragments of Grisha's story that viewers never knew about.

This is the episode that cements Attack on Titan's position as a classic anime. It completely subverts the very genre that the show belongs to and brings a level of intrigue and lore that no one could have anticipated. It is the absolute peak of the show thus far, and will undoubtedly be a lesson for the history books on how to completely change the dynamics of a show and deliver on a long-awaited mystery.

A love-letter to the fans who have been inching every little clue to understand the bigger picture, it is nothing short of perfect.",10
"Decent show, but this is filled with morals and fake values to the point where it detracts the watcher and the potential fun it could be. Of the writers would stop being so woke, this could be even better. Tellement a story, not morals.",6
"Wow, haven't seen a good film/tv superhero story in a LONG time. With the avengers and justice league films taking everything enjoyable out of a good superhero team, my expectations were low for this show. However I was pleasantly surprised with the story, the characters, and the overall cinematic quality of the Umbrella Academy!

As other reviewers have said, the soundtrack is on point. The acting is also top quality, and UA blows other contemporary superhero shows out of the water on this front. Number 5 (Aidan Gallagher) is a personal favorite. Can't wait for season 2!",9
"I watched 30 min of it since i love Ryan Reynolds. it was torture to watch. horrible script. pure garbage with a lot money spent in to it. its look like Netflix were looking for next big hit inspired from ""the fast and the furies"" but the end result is just horrible to watch, stay away from this poor production.",2
"The annoying kids never get killed. The skinny girl that everyone wants looks like she has leprosy. The weirdo mother needs to get sucked into the wall. Just a lot of annoying nonsense and crappy theme music. The remakes of great songs like Heroes suck. David Bowie or Apocalypta / Lindemann did it a lot better.

Incredibly boring crud. You can fast forward every scene to the last two frames and not miss anything except the depressing dialogue, melodrama, sadness, insanity, angst. It is a lot more fun to just fast forward to action scenes. The depressing crud before is always re-explained endlessly in one way or another.

The first few episodes are deadly boring and good for watching in the background while you play video games, read your emails, or do some other more productive activity.",1
"""Captain America: Civil War"" continues the trend of delivering a good action movie, though this time we have teams of superheroes battling each other. I liked it.

Chadwick Boseman makes his MCU debut as the Black Panther here; it's awesome to see his character as the vengeful but laid back king of Wakanda. Tom Holland also starts here too with his rendition of Spider-Man. I think I liked Tobey Maguire the best as Spider-Man; maybe that's nostalgia for me, and I'll get to him later when I review his solo movies.

Great action scenes, though I wished there more than just one battle where all of the heroes fight and I wish that it had been a little bit longer. I also thought the villain was very weak here. Really cool to see Cap (Chris Evans), Bucky (Sebastian Stan), and Tony (Robert Downey Jr.) having more great scenes together.

Another link in the MCU chain, another great superhero flick.",8
"There are no words to describe my disappointment with this movie. High rates and cheers must be a joke...

I won't waste your and my time with the talk about this movie, my concern is about IMDb rating. Your rating were use to be quite a reliable for me, it only fails with the Indian (Bollywood) movies. But on this case 8.4 rating is unbelievable...",5
"I really liked this as much as the first Venom movie, as a Spider man fan and Venom fan I enjoyed it.

Tom Hardy is still good as Eddie Brock/Venom and I still like their symbiotic relationship, the Venom Symbiote still looks cool and is fun seeing him bite off heads

Wody Harrelson played Cletus Kasady/Carnage pretty well, he got that serial killer vibe from the comics really nicely. Carnage was awesome seeing and he looked really good and I liked the red design.

I loved seeing Carnage going a murder rampage and I liked the relationship with Cletus Kasadys girlfriend Shriek, they both had the same fun when killing people.

It was awesome seeing Venom and Carnage fight, also the post credits scene was satisfying and got me excited for the future (I won't spoil anything).",6
"Besides being boring, it was silly and stupid, poor and silly performance from all actors, silly script, stupid plot, and way too many characters that I got lost who is who. And getting those extra marvel characters didn't make it any better. This was a complete waste of time and money.",2
"This was very unsatisfying to watch. Very depressing. Resorting to crude sexuality rather than the mysterious forces of life, magic, which was prevalent in the sorcerer's stone. The true pandemic of our time is the depression and lack of depth, which is in this movie.",2
"This would be the worst movie to be made with this cast. There's no point in the movie. An empty movie with no meaning message. Two and a half hours are wasted, do not watch. This movie has no effect on your life.

It was especially Bruce Lee scene that got stuck in my head. Bruce Lee has been openly insulted. It was an American movie smelling racism.",5
"All the system is a hoax, time keepers are some concept that don't or did not exist and people are following a rule/system that is also broken.

Btw: the main premise seems written by a 10- y old. :)",1
"Multiple inaccuracies and obvious CGI aside, the story behind this production was enjoyable. I enjoyed the relationship between Keda and Alpha. I might even watch it again. However, if you are looking for accuracies, you will be disappointed. Personally, I was able to overlook them and I'm glad.",7
To be honest the action scenes were brilliant non stop to thumbs up but I was expecting alot from Ryan Reynolds and his crew during the movie,6
"It's inevitable that this series would be compared with GOT, and to some extent it doesn't disappoint. There's a host of intriguing characters and the CGI is adequate and broadly speaking it includes a lot of the aspects that made its predecessor entertaining.

However, there are no real characters to root for with the possible exception of Rhaenyra and Lucerys (compare that to Bran, Arya, Jon Snow, Samwell etc in GOT) everyone in House of The Dragon seems to be villainous, although I've already taken sides on who I want to see win the battle for the throne.

Also, the first series only focuses really on the goings-on in King's Landing, Dragonstone and Driftmark and the other kingdoms barely feature. Plus, the dragons and the CGI must have used up a lot if the budget, but do not compensate for character and plot. In addition, the existential threat from beyond the wall is alluded to, but we know in this series we're not going to face anything as catastrophic and frightening as the whitewalkers.

Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to the next season and accept that series 1 was only setting the scene and that the real action and character development is to come and things will really kick off in the second series.",8
This is real life up in the northland. I saw so many people I grew up with in this film. Awesome to watch when I miss ND.,10
If you had no computer knowledge or of coding then its OK I guess but this is just silly ridiculousness and their concepts are ludicrous and illogical. The CGI is childish. Totally overrated boring predictable movie.,2
"This movie doesn't transfer us the intense feelings that the book does. Not in the slightest. Plus, they changed so many things that made it almost unbearable to watch. Such a shame because I was really looking forward to it.",2
I fell in love with this show right off and have kept watching although I'm am not finished seeing all seasons and episodes due to working alot. I know the show is over but I'm gonna watch it through and soon after but all the bluray disc for keeping. I think the producers did a fantastic job of it all bravo and I Hope they have more great sci-fi in future to give us.,10
"I was a bit shocked when I watched this. I wasn't expecting this series to make the supes violent and careless and that's what made this experience different. It takes a more dark turn on what heroes can be. They can be dumb, narcissistic, angry, desperate, make stupid choices without thinking and are still human. They are just an extremely enhanced version of everyone else.

I was stunned by the visual effects and detail the animators went through to design even the most private areas of the body and the guts. There are so many guts. If you decide to watch this with your kids I feel sorry for them and you because very episode contains substance abuse, sex, gore and guts. This is definitely made for adults. Don't watch this if you don't want to see the guts and head popping.",8
"If you combine breaking bad, game of thrones (and possibly others), you have attack on Titan. I went into this show thinking ""these titans look weird"" then came out the other side traumatized. This is the best anime I ever watched. The character development (specifically for Eren) is amazing. It has really fun and gripping action scenes, and there is almost no filler. The first half of AoT is kind of disappointing, but the last 2 seasons are much better.",8
"This movie was SO hard to follow. The timeline jumps around, telling the same story, three to four times and just confuses the viewer. They used actual Supermarine Spitfires and Spanish copies of the Bf109 and He111 which was exciting, but the scenes they were used it were just outlandish and unbelievable! The whole movie seems to miss the point. Dunkirk was an important part of WWII and it never really tells the story. This could have, and should have, been a much better movie, but sadly, isn't.",3
"Wanda Vision in disney + is the first MODEN comedy noir MARVEL series I HAVE SEEN with very little (too non so far) nudity, horrible violence, almost no vulgarity since it remakes 60 style movies. I highly RECOMMEND! STILL WANT TO KEEP UR COMMUNIST NETFLIX CHANNEL?😖",9
"Having already starred in their own standalone movies, Thor (Chris Hemsworth), The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo, taking over the role from Edward Norton), Captain America (Chris Evans), and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) team up with Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) to form The Avengers, a team of superheroes-operating under the command of Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Samuel L. Jackson)-who are called upon to battle evil Asgardian Loki (Tom Hiddleston) when he threatens to invade the planet with his Chitauri army.

The Avengers made an absolute mint at the box-office, proving to me that a large percentage of cinema-goers aren't all that fussed about an innovative or intelligible script just so long as they get plenty of bang for their buck. Written and directed by Joss Whedon, The Avengers Assemble (as it is known in the UK) is an unnecessarily convoluted superhero blockbuster wrapped around the most tired of premises: an evil being seeking a mystical energy source that will give him the power to rule the world. This trite set-up allows for countless effects filled battles during which no-one suffers anything more than a bruised ego.

An impressive line-up of Hollywood A-listers and the most spectacular state-of-the-art CGI effects money can buy do not alter the fact that this is predictable, clichéd nonsense told with little style, coherence or originality.",4
it used to be my favorite show and i enjoyed a lot watching it. screenplay was so creative and realistic at the same time but lately ( last 2 or 3 seasons ) it's all soulless and dry like a bunch of celebrities hanging out. even the way they dress up is kinda unrealistic.,7
Watched it twice goddamn it it was damn cool also the film story line is real though I have watched once,9
"The most overrated film in years - its all build up into what amounts to nothing much really. the only great part is the prison interrogation scene. bale was never a good batman - he could be if he studied the way michael keaton had done it - simply lowering his voice instead of the stupid cringe inducing shouting of bale. ledger isn't bad - its just that he isn't given enough to do , his performance felt like a preview to me and he simply doesn't have the power that nicholson had. i honestly believe the film got so much attention because it was ledgers last big role.ithe best batman movies were made by tim burton.",6
"Almost hard to tell the differnce between this movie and Cars (Lightning Mcqueen Etc), so much CGI and awful speed sensation. Doing 200mph down a straight on a racetrack or 40mph on a sunday cruise? No one can spot the differenc.

Bale and Damon rescue this movie from being a 3-4 rating. Its a decent to good movie but all those CGI stuff just takes you right out off it.",6
"Unlike GoT the characters aren't developed enough for the audience to be invested in them, there are few memorable moments or dialogue/lines (name me 1 good quote).

The pacing is terrible, there are episodes where hardly anything happens, too much is compressed into too short a time frame to give it much meaning but at the same time the story seems drawn out, it's not very good story telling. You can tell it was developed by committee.

The casting is terrible - the entire conflict and story arc revolves around succession to the Iron Throne and talk of ""pure blood"" - if this is the primary concern of every charter and presumably the people they rule, why do people look so different with the exception of white/blonde hair? It doesn't fit in the world we are being brought into.",7
"The movie was ""inspired by"" not ""based upon"" the novel of the same name. Much of the nostalgic references were removed. Anymore these days books are written with its own storyline, then are made into movies with an alternate storyline all in hopes of cashing in. Most of the acting was just OK, but there were some lines of dialogue that were delivered as if they were just rehearsing.",4
"Red Sparrow tells the story of Dominika Egorova(Jennifer Lawrence). Dominika is a ballerina who joins a secret organization within the Russian army. Here she learns the art of, using her body to get what she wants. In her first assignment, she has to target C.I.A. agent, Nate Nash(Joel Edgerton).

Red Sparrow is a good film. Director Francis Lawrence has had another successful collaboration with Jennifer Lawrence after, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire(2013), The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1(2014) & The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2(2015). However, this movie drags from time to time. It's classified as a suspense thriller but, there is nothing suspenseful or thrilling happening for the most part of the film. The performances are the highlight of the movie. Jennifer Lawrence is flawless as Dominika Egorova. Lawrence gives us another hard-hitting performance, after Mother!(2017). Joel Edgerton is brilliant as Nate Nash. Matthias Schoenaerts is spectacular as Vanya Egorov. Charlotte Rampling is amazing as the Matron. Mary-Louise Parker is impressive as Stephanie Boucher. Ciaran Hinds is effective as Zakharov. Joely Richardson is awesome as Nina Egorova. Bill Camp is effective as Marty Gable. Jeremy Irons is outstanding as General Korchnoi. Red Sparrow is not a must watch. However, watch it if you're a fan of intense films & Jennifer Lawrence.",7
"""Jojo Rabbit"" is a smart, original and daring dark comedy. Actor Roman Griffin Davis is destined to become a bonafide star with a performance like this one. . In this comedic satire, a young boy in Hitler's army finds out his mother is hiding a Jewish girl in their home. . To mention that ""Jojo Rabbit"" won't be for everyone is an understatement. This Nazi-mocking satire tests all boundaries of what is right and wrong but with its heart in the right place. Writer, director and actor Taika Waititi has made a genuine film that will divide its audience, but ultimately have them thinking of ""Jojo Rabbit"" after the credits have rolled. The all-star cast is superb and hilarious. An overall exciting movie-going experience.",7
It's intriguing. Except for the 5th season just skip that.,8
"He did it again. Though budget was seven times than ""A Wednesday"" (first masterpiece directed by Neeraj Pandey ) still it wasn't much hyped one ( or may be i don't watch TV these days). I came to know about this notorious saga when one of my friend messaged me to watch it . Thanks to her!! Its being ages since I watched well crafted ingenious Bollywood thriller( recommended to get over with trauma of Race 2). And that to con classic is a really a treat. And what makes it more interesting is ""Based on real story"" factor (though definitely more fiction).

The movie is set in late 80's (specifically 1987). For starting 10 minute never felt that its a con movie. Thought of some kind of vigilant drama. But then subtle revelation made it clear. Story moves with introduction of all characters. One thing which was perfect about the movie was the feel of 80's. Airports, roads, vehicles, hotels,places where people use to hide money, panoramic view of cities, clips of events from 80's, demeanor of characters (Pleat pants wore by Bajpai,simple sweaters even the watch wore by Akshay was 80's item). The perfectly executed raid scenes with money shelled out from imaginative places. Brilliant and unpredictable climax. All adding stars to this con epic.

Only week points were repetition of some scenes which were unnecessary, lady love of Akshay Kumar as per Indian Rule book, boring songs.

Good to see Akshay Kumar doing something good (small trivia Neeraj waited for this movie almost 3 years just because he wanted Akshay to play lead role and in return benign Akshay charged only half of his normal fees), Anupam Kher and Manoj Bajpai at their best. Others playing their part.

Final verdict : Watch it for intelligent con thriller, horse and buggy Indian days and Stellar Akshay Kumar's performance.

Rating : 8/10.",8
"Watched the first ten minutes, enough said.what can I say other than wretched.",1
"The revival of low budget shows of the 90s. its basically like xena or buffy. henry cavill is the only one worth noting and every other character is just a bland npc, with the pinnacle of poor character depiction of yennefer. i was really hyped for it and im a fan of the books and the games and this was just a cheap knock-off. the director shows no talent in worldbuilding, storytelling,character development, the costumes are mediocre to bad, the cgi is straight outta the 90s. for me its like the final season of GoT without the budget.",3
"No doubt this series is just excellent. All the actors have done their work beautifully and m a big fan of Jitendra Kumar, Raghuvir sir and Neena gupta. But as a viewer i get fuckin irritated and annoyed most of the times bcz of the situation faced by the character Abhishek caused by the villagers. If i was at the place of Jitendra i will surely reply them and punch them at their face if needed. But this is a series this is what they want to portray. And actually this is the beauty of this series. Anyway well done.",8
"I had heard a lot about this film before I actually saw it, and the idea of a man unwittingly being present at the biggest moments of four decades seemed funny and entertaining enough. But I was heavily disappointed.

What Forrest Gump lacks most is a stringent storytelling. The movie just doesn´t get off the ground. It isn´t the fault of the actors in general and certainly not of Tom Hanks, who gives a brilliant storyteller and doesn´t make pure slapstick out of the dimwitted Forrest - the actors are doing fine jobs. It´s the fault of the filmmakers. Lots of shots and even whole motives are plainly useless, not even in adding atmosphere, a lot of plot turns vanish into nothingness. The touching moments are soaked in corny music and lose their emotional potential, the technically great TV montages get less entertaining every time because they are wasted in bad punchlines. The whole dialogue is highly predictable. The reenactment of the Hippie movement is quite sound, and details like the Watergate joke are good laughs, but the scenes in between are painfully slow, at the end even simply boring. About a thousand times you are led to believe that there is a deeper moral than ""enjoy your life with the things you can do really good"" (this being introduced at the very beginning), but it isn´t.

I don´t know what, except for the few gags that really function, could earn this movie the triumph that it had and still has. Watch ""Hair"" for the Sixties and ""Harold and Maude"" for the moral, you will be better off.",4
"Coen brothers are known to be one of the most original film making duo working in Hollywood.A lot of adjectives can be used to describe their films and the great thing is that no two films made by them are same. Fargo is a great film as it doesn't hover around neither Hollywood type conventional narrative structure nor sometimes hard to fathom independent cinema style.It is a film in which mystery elements are revealed following a chronological order.Coen brothers have taken proper care of the screenplay as they have added their own material to a real life event which took place years ago.It is not at all a film about mistakes made while killing people. It is a film about human sentiments such as greed,helplessness and dedication to work.All those who like films with story are going to enjoy it.There are no special effects,animation and other high tech elements.What is to be seen in the film is pure emotional poetry-a poetry of human sentiments.The cast is outstanding especially Frances McDormand who makes a good try at being a workaholic pregnant policewoman.",10
"What to say? I have been waiting for this show with mixed emotions from the first whisper of it being done... I have wanted to see it come alive from the first book I read years ago and honestly never thought I would see it happen because of the sheer amount of plots, sub plots and the long list of primary and secondary characters that are constantly changing from book to book. I absolutely love the trilogy it is in my top 5 all time favorite book trilogies/series ...

That said, yes it is true they moved some things around and changed parts and details around but that is to be expected when trying to have something completely visual relay the same basic understanding that reading the book does. With a book time can be taken to explain things in depth to a point that a show or movie can not accomplish unless it has a full time narrator talking constantly as the show is going. So yes, it is true that it does not follow the book to the letter however it does a good job of relying the same message one gets by reading the book. It does also jump forward at a quick pace it seems until I went back and realized just how much of the back story and details that it takes so long to cover in the book would not have worked trying to fit into the first 2 episodes of a show. It would have been mostly flashbacks if that route were taken. That being said, they will probably pull bits and pieces of memories out over the season as opposed to getting it all out at the beginning like the book. Different types of entertainment (book and TV/show) so different way of presentation. I think it's off to a great start and I look forward to seeing the series unfold. Wow! Love it so far!!",10
Wat an amazing show am totally hooked!!!! Can't wait for season two,9
"The story line starts to fall off at the last episode of the first season. The later it gets the more confusing it gets, every hole in the story stays wide open like the rest of marvel's shits, there's no closure. Characters act like they have no thoughts on the matter or maybe they're just plain stupid, Daredevil have a phone and he never gets a head up of what's coming, why give him a phone then? every single time it's a same story, his friend founds out something and he finds it out at the exact second, but the hard way. If it was discontinued after first season i could give it an 8, but after watching the 2nd there's no way in hell i'll watch the 3rd if there's ever one, and definitely staying away from all marvel shits from now on.",5
"This wasn't Sherlock Holmes - it was Jackie Chan meets Sherlock Holmes meets Pinky and the Brain.

The acting was adequate, though often stilted. The plot was adequate, though far-fetched and unrealistic. The suspense was entirely lacking, and the ""action"" was almost comical. The coup de grace was the end, where Holmes pulled details out of thin air to prove what a genius he was. Nothing in this movie was convincing to me ... there is only so far I can suspend disbelief, suspend intelligence, or fake interest.

All told, I want my time and money back - this movie was not worth it in the least. Wait for the DVD ... if you watch it at all.",3
I could handle the train action even as viewers found it unrealistic. It's the side stories that were so tired . Denzel's wife died of cancer . Pines wife left him over what? Text messaging?! And all the incompetence of the railroad people makes me never want to ride a train again ! And at the end the major offender is said to now be working in fast food!! That's it ??? No jail time for anyone?? Two men died . Millions of dollars lost . Cliche crap on a runaway train.,3
"The whole production of this film was just a massive waste of time and money. This is easily the most disappointing movie of 2021! The acting, to say how good the cast is, is absolutely shocking. Tom Hardy is awful in this, the jokes and comedy just feels forced and unfunny, the action is hard to see because of the god awful CGI and the plot is just boring and clearly unfinished. The film just isn't long enough, it's too short to be able to fit any character development so the film just fly's through all these plot points and you don't get to process anything that happens. Carnage is wasted and that really upsets me as he's one of my favourite villains in the comics and now he's been used in one of the worst marvel films. This film is just a big mess and I wish it was just left in the oven for another 2 years so maybe we would have got a film that was actually worth watching. What a loads of crap!",5
"Last season was so bad it killed the memory of first season, first with got and now this.",7
"I love Marvel. They do so many things so well and this series really demonstrated both their ability to do things well and their ability to learn and grow. Falcon and Bucky could've easily fallen into the same trap that the Luke Cage Netflix did for me, feeling overly preachy and more interested in shoving a message down my throat than telling a story. But it doesn't. It manages to tell this really engaging story with a super prescient message interwoven in such an engaging way without making me feel like I needed to do tons of history homework to understand what people were even talking about.

Marvel really has gotten this stuff down and their new forays into different series have so far been spectacular with both this and WandaVision knocking it out of the park. Strong recommend here.",8
This one is far better than the first one which was rather boring. This one has more development of characters and sets up the next films nicely. Only complaint is that some parts are hard to follow and the action scenes were so poorly shot that it was very hard to actually see who was doing what on screen.,5
"What a masterpiece! We are talking about dark stuff at the highest level, like the legendary first season of True Detective level. Only this is a true story. And the creators did a good job in order to keep it historically accurate. It really deserves the number one spot it's right now and hope to see more like it.",9
"If you love when somebody doing an idiot from you then you will love this movie. It 21th century. Common! Everyone know that you shouldn't take out a bullet from wounds - you could bring infection in. No any additional harm if the bullet will stay in the body. Stop to feed up people with stamps like this! Italy is the most visited country in the world. It's impossible to reach Piazza del Campo for 15 second from Florence Cathedral because it's in 2 different city 60 km away! If you don't care and just want a beautiful picture for your stupid movie, then reach also Coliseum in 10 sec after. I don't even talk about its impossible to make a chase in the most of italian city's center because it's prohibited and almost impossible to drive car there! I couldn't see it more than 15 minutes from beginning. The camera is constantly shakes and the plot is so stupid that I couldn't decide from which part I am feeling sick.",1
"Starring Richard Madden and Keeley Hawes.

A bodyguard (David Budd) assigned to protecting the Home Secretary (Julia Montague) is tested to his limits when, in the midst of a family break-up, he encounters a wave of terrorism sweeping through the capital. Some of it is aimed at Montague, and as the two get pushed closer together, their once professional working arrangement suddenly gives way to a passionate affair.

Meanwhile, an internal power struggle rages between the police and security services, and the actions of some operatives strike Budd as suspicious, or worse. He attempts to get to the core of the problem, but is out of his depth and doesn't know who can be trusted to help.

For the most part, a well acted and polished drama, although there are instances where both plot and script can be described as slightly incredulous. Budd's mood and character traits are too up and down to be fully believable. Is he the scared, vulnerable and suicidally depressed sort, or is he confident, heroic and self-assured? Well, he alternates between both extremes and it doesn't quite wash.

Fortunately, the final episode is both fast-paced and exhilarating, leaving a good impression overall. 8.1/10",8
"I watched this film and didn't like it. For starters, I wanted to see Jim Carrey playing the sort of character which is funny, but also has more depth. Well in this film, Jim's character had too much depth and not enough humour.

Kate Winslet's character was presented well, but again, I would say she was unfunny. The rest of the supporting cast lacked a lot of imagination but there were a few interesting characters such as Ellijah Woods.

The plot in this film is confusing and seems to have some flaws in between. You have to listen carefully to the dialogue and try to understand the film as a story, not a romantic comedy, otherwise, like me, you'll end up bored and not satisfied.",4
"Not all the episodes of Black Mirror are great but there is a decent variety of them... Ironically Blue Bear associates with Trump and David Cameron does like bacon... The show touched a lot of interesting subjects, but some of the best ideas were taken from other shows not widely known to major public and popular culture... The whole concept of consciousness transfers, comes from BSG/ Caprica, especially from Caprica, a show not many now and not many heard about... So if you like the whole idea of storing consciousness on other devices or inside robots, transferring them to other virtual worlds and so on and so on, check out Caprica... Nevertheless ""USS Callister was my favourite episode and as much as I love it it's a dark Star Trek which should have had his own spin off...",8
"What can I say about this film that hasn't already been said. This was advertised as a musical, but just comes off as dry. There are only a few good musical parts like the dance scene between Gosling and Stone. It starts out strong with the freeway song and dance but only goes down from there.

The plot.. well there really doesn't seem to be much of a plot. It's a love story, but ultimately ends up not being about the love story. It really is all over the place. Plus how many times do I have to hear one song throughout the film. It's like watching Grease but they play Grease lightening five times. City of stars... yeah we got it. I hate trash this movie because I like Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, but what a disappointment of a film.",5

"A rich and powerful tech magnate invites a group of associates to his private island for a murder mystery weekend.

This is a wildly entertaining mystery with great character moments.

Similarly to 'Knives Out', Glass Onion has a strong narrative that looks at a series of character interactions from different perspectives, then uses a good twist to change the direction of the movie. It unfolds well and resolves in a more innovative way than simply revealing the identity of the killer.

The script contains some good irony in relation to its characters and how events turn out. Plus it includes multiple pop culture and high culture references, plus in-jokes and gags aimed at various individuals.

For me, the best part is the hilarious parody of certain types of characters well known in contemporary society. The right-wing influencer, the sellout politician, the narcissistic model, the coerced scientist, and the entrepreneurial false profit who steals ideas and influences with money and power rather than intelligence or innovation. These are well realised characters who you can recognise somewhere in life. They are easy targets, via their own self-serving nature, for someone one looking to exploit them for their own end.

Visually it is just as cinematic as the original, but in a different way. The backdrop is much more glamorous and colourful, with very memorable art design and costuming. The cinematography and editing is excellent as you would expect from a Rian Johnson film.

All actors are on great form, with Daniel Craig, Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe and Kate Hudson standing out.

A lot of reviews seem to compare the two movies. The more OTT style and tone of Glass Onion is quite different to 'Knives Out' so if you are looking for something similar, you might be disappointed. Personally, I found this to be a positive and see why Johnson was frustrated by the decision to put 'A Knives Out Mystery' in the movie's title.",8
"The only reason I'm giving this 6/10 and not 4/10 is because of Joey Batey and Henry Cavill as Jaskier and Geralt. The show is an incoherent mess that doesn't know what it wants to be, whether that is a bad fan fiction, or a dark game of thrones wannabe. The casting choices for some of the characters are also 'questionable'. If you want some decent Witcher material, just read the books or play the games, which are both outstanding.",4

"I like the way all the plots come together to please the Marvel nerds, but geez it's boring. It reminded me of star wars 2 (or was it 3?) just loads and loads of abysmal cgi. Smashing, punch, zapping. Lots of creatures, lots of people running around. I watched it over 3 nights, it was that shallow. Unlike some films you can't stop, this made me doze of. They must've spent the budget on the cast and left none for story or cgi. Some of the characters were so forgetful I don't even know who they are. Who's the guy that looks like jesus? who's the lady that has red glowing hands? I would look on imdb, but the cast is so big I can't be bothered.",3
"Don't waste your time watching this movie. I wanted to go out during the movie, as it was so boring. Such a poor story.I give 3 starts because of nice special effects and cute animals.",3
"Just watched a few episodes in the earlier seasons. This show is made for minds that are sick. Just leaves one feeling depressed. Obviously the creators are emotionally disturbed as well as all those that watch it. Waste of time. If I want to be mentally challenged I watch philosophy.

It's fun to portray Alzheimer's until someone in you family has it. The American public likes these type of shows because they never have witnessed true injustice.

The episode with the Star Trek theme was probably the worst. How are you gonna have consecutive bad endings just to have a CTO be mentally disabled? Those video game characters should have suffered. He's been bullied his whole life, and he deserves the punishment? Ow, and way to rely on the fact that men will fall for anything as long as a woman is shirtless. Disgusting stereotypical show. I wish I could rate it -10000.

So unfulfilling!",4
"Lets face it this is a good movie (if your talking weird) in its own way but I didn't find anything disturbing about it. I found that the twelve year old prostitute made me very uncomfortable when(spoiler) talking about selling her crotch or unbuckling a grown man's pants but I guess that's the life of a prostitute. Anyway this could be a nineteen-seventy six batman film if the man didn't kill because hey who knows if batman loves porn or not. Back to the script, a 26 year old discharged military man that thinks an awful lot, writes in his journal and has trouble sleeping drives a taxi cab for money and travels through the bad parts of New York. As he sees the scum and filth of this city, he wants to do something about it but what? While he decides, he tries to talk to women but sucks at it so he stalks a woman at a newspaper center who notices him sitting in the taxi. This gives him the chance to be Dr. House and analyze her feelings which some how impresses her... Odd. Well not knowing a woman's worth nor movies takes her to an educational booty movie and she leaves him boo hew. Any-who he talks to a senator running for president about the scum and filth and surprisingly (sarcasm) could care less. So he runs into the 12 year old prostitute again(the one mentioned at the top. Note: the first time he saw her was on one of his routes though she was doped up trying to escape. The second time he nearly ran her over & then decided to follow her to a traffic light)and promises to get her out of the game by becoming a vigilante though the girl thinks he's weird (don't blame her). He goes and kills the pimps and all is well. It doesn't sound to exciting(because it ain't) but it is very interesting in its own way. DeNiro's acting as his character is very well done playing a young man who is weird and so on. I'd say give it a rent or buy it cheap on DVD ( trust me, it might bore you & you'll never watch it again),just don't show this to your kids as a lesson parents with sense(especially those with no sense.)Masterpiece, Not in my eyes.",6
"I was really hyped to see this movie, especially to see the multiverse visualization and it was the first film I wanted to watch in a cinema for years.

I also wanted to watch it on my birthday in an open air cinema but that didn't happen due to torrents of rain and I am glad. Why?

This movie celebrates naturalistic violence. It starts innocently enough depicting a realistic family facing all kinds of struggles, mostly about money and relationships.

Then it suddenly descends into graphic cruelty towards average people (think a tax officer, low level unarmed government building security or innocent bystanders).

If you enjoy average people viciously hit in the face, necks snapped and inflicting pain this one is for you.

I watched this with my date who was a victim of brutality (indeed her face was broken once) so I suggested to leave the cinema after 20 minutes or so as the graphic violence just got worse and worse.

We went home and had some intimate sex instead. That was the best part of the movie.

The multiverse idea is just used as an excuse to justify depictions of sadism and gore. The fact that this celebration of naturalistic violence received so many Oscars proves the poor state of our world and how numb audiences are who actually laugh about physical harm inflicted to their fellow human beings.

And don't think that I did not watch some Eastern type of movies in the past where supernatural fighters would fly and do kung fu in fantasy historical settings. This movie here is different in that people like me and you get hurt.",2
"When i heard people calling this movie the ""best comicbook movie ever"" and ""Masterpiece"" i should have known that was fanboy hype.So when i went to the movie theater i was expecting to be blown away.The movie can be best described as solid but nothing that special.Robert Downey Jnr basically holds this movie together,without him it could have been a disaster.But the movie was quite enjoyable and given what Marvel have given us the past few years this was one of their better offerings,kudos Mr Favreau.Overall this movie was a 7/10 and i still feel that Batman Begins is the benchmark for style,depth and tone of comicbook movies,sadly this does not surpass it.",3
"Just watched it and as a whole, the movie is messy. There are parts that go on way too long (like the walking!?) and the pace is kinda erratic. Now, Sandlers ACTING is good, I did not, however, like his script. I get the whole degenerate gambler bit, but idk, there was just something about some of his dialogue that really bothered me. (I think part of the reason is that I HATE characters that are so clearly liars, yet everyone puts up with it, besides the wife. Probably why I stopped watching Shameless.) The big bet on the game was dramatic, but since I didn't like Sandler's character, I wasn't that into the decision.

And what's up with Demany (or whatever). His character was pointless, besides showing that he was a liar and irresponsible too. Could argue it's his fault.

Anyways, I heard a lot of good things about this and I was disappointed. But Sandler shows he can be more than just comedy.",4
"First off I'll admit I only watched five episodes of Black Mirror. The oft used claim for this series is that it's a ""contemporary British re-working of The Twilight Zone "". I've watched The Twilight Zone and it's far superior to Black Mirror. Obviously Black Mirror had better affects. After all it had the benefit of 60 years worth of technology improvements but the producers and writers didn't take advantage of it. In fact they squandered it.

The stories are incredibly morbid, banal and pretentious. The few episodes I watched were difficult to watch to the end. There's nothing uplifting here.

The characters are difficult to empathise with because they come across as total fools. The series main premise seems to be that we're doomed to becoming complete idiots in the near future due to technology. I don't believe that. In fact I believe in the exact opposite.",4
"In short, this movie is another Hollywood echo-chamber. It's saturated with self-references and channeling itself. So out of touch with reality and narcissistic. Quite symptomatic, really. Thank God they gave us a clue in the name of their movie for us to have a grasp what this movie is about just by looking at its name.

The only reason these two (mentally ill, dissociated) characters fell in love with each other in the first place is because they realized this is what they had in common (mental illness and dissociation). So why the hell not be like this together? Better than to go through life alone with such misery anyway. Other than that, these two characters are stripped of any personality. To be fair, many classics of musicals this movie was trying hard to channel are guilty of that.

Just like in many musicals/romantic comedies/Hollywood tropes, these two people were thrown out at each other artificially. Let me get this straight, I don't know any woman who would memorize a guy like Sebastian and believe they're meant to be together despite the fact that all she knows about him is that once he showed her middle finger and was shaking his head at her in a car and later he shoved her aside while she was trying to compliment his piano play. It just doesn't work like that.

It was good at mechanistically channeling musicals and Hollywood, but it was doing so unenthusiastically. I know that musical movies tend to have lack of good singing because they usually take famous actors with little to no musical background to play. But in this case, maybe the film could benefit from better singing and dancing if the script and idea were so bad. And no, Sebastian, you're not playing jazz. You're just playing one mediocre pop song that is styled as vintage.

Big theme of this movie is ''follow your dreams'' which almost always happens to be a dream of making it in the entertainment industry for some reason. As if people who watch this can't dream of something other than that. It's interesting that many Hollywood and Disney movies have been having this cliché theme throughout decades. Big question: why?

I kind of get it why many people received this movie well and believed all the hype and that it deserved Oscars. One of the reasons is, of course, because they just eat whatever is being fed to them by Hollywood and mainstream all the time. Another one is that large portion of society lives in this la la land. In our capitalist society people are alienated from reality and they live in a fantasy major corporations create for them to escape. They also dream about mythical love and having a dream-like career. Even their dreams are not something they created. I'm saying all that because I recommend you to read Zizek's review of La La Land.",4
"If you're into animated films and fantasy /supernatural, you will love this show.",10
"Plot: Revolving around the story of three friends preparing for UPSC, the Indian civil services examination, this series outlines the various emotions and experiences the aspirants go through. All this while struggling with their inner turmoils, they endeavour to break into the ranks of the most dignified and respected civil servants of a developing nation.

I never have met a UPSC aspirant myself but the series brought to life the stories I have heard of from the acquaintances. It is not just a struggle, it is a life changing experience - which I believe everyone who has toiled for some examination as such could definitely relate to.

Acting: The performances are good, some exemplary, some OK. What appealed the most to is that of SK Sir, played by Abhilash Thapiyal. Not only did he got an excellent grasp of the Bihari accent, his entire reflects of a typical Bihari, and that is lovable. My personal favourite scene is the one where Guri (Shivankit Parihar) insults him of being a loser and all of SK's emotions pour out from his expressions, without a word, brilliant I would say. It would be unjust to Abhilash, played by Naveen Kasturia, if he is not praised for being the 'ideal' aspirant. A balanced act, a bundle of emotions, with a zeal and zest to achieve the best. I hope to seem more of him in the mainstream, many of his fans would I believe. Don't forget uncle ji and aunty ji :)

Music/Background score: 'Moh bhang piya' (female version) is the new national favourite. I would judge you if you think otherwise! Lovable lyrics (Deepesh), composition (Rohit Sharma), and has been amazingly well sung (Parul Mishra) . The background score is consistent and really brings out the the scenes very well.

Art direction/Direction/Cinematography: The story has been played out so beautifully on screen with the legit Old Rajinder Nagar at the core. The climax is scripted and shot to perfection, and without the generic cliches!

I would love to add more but that would add spoilers and I do not want to. Go watch it!!!

Way to go TVF!",8
"Running from bullies Billy Batson (Asher Angel) runs into the Wizard Shazam (Djimon Huonsou) who finds that Billy is pure of heart and gives him super powers when he shouts, ""Shazam"" and Shazam (Zachary Levi) appears. Problem is Shazam is still Billy at 14-yrs old.

This movie starts out in the most confusing manner I have seen in a long time. Yes, it all comes around after 30-minutes to help us understand, but this takes way too long. Way too long. We see too much of when Dr Sivana was a boy, and we really didn't need to see it.

We remember Captain Marvel appearing, when Billy Batson shouts, ""Shazam"" and this is a spoof on all of that. Hollywood doesn't know what to do anymore and decides to make things what we knew as good and true as Wonky now ................. (Yes, Wonky)

Not sure how DC was able to use a Marvel character albeit with another name, not Captain Marvel. Here Billy Batson does not use a crutch as we knew him to do in Captain Marvel comics. The boy with the crutch is Freddy (Jack Dylan Grazer), Billy's friend.

But this is a movie for 8-yr olds. The banter is too childish especially the banter by Shazam. I thought adults would enjoy this but childish banter by Shazam rules this movie and in most cases, not good. The CGI is most prevalent and is very good, but yes, it too, goes on for too long, too, as most movies with CGI battles do.

Shazam fights Dr. Sivana (Mark Strong) who with his Evil Eye has the powers of Shazam, too. The problem here is that Dr. Sivana needs Shazam's powers to rule the universe.

Notables: Marta Milans as Rosa, foster mother to Billy; Cooper Andrews as Victor as foster father to Billy; John Glover as Mr Sivana and is the father of Dr. Sivana (Mark Strong). The foster kids in Rosa's and Victor's home become prominent players near the end.

So................... kind of disappointing and Hollywood has no idea how to make an adult/kids movie all can enjoy. The real problem here was that the dialogues given to Shazam (Zachary Levi) were just too childish and more conducive to an 8-yr old, not a 14-yr old. Perhaps a natural thing, but it went too far and for me it was absolutely annoying and yes, Wonky. However, the 8-yr olds will enjoy this. (5/10)

"Why did i wrote the ""ONE""???

Because this is-BE READY-...THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!! Does it sounds corny or clichéd? NO! And i will explain later...Enough of searching for the best movie, because The Godfather part II is the ""ONE"".

We can argue about for example The Shawshank redemption is the best, or citizen Kane, or The Godfather, Deer hunter, Taxi driver, Raging bull...and truly indeed they could be the ""ONE"". But for me this is truly the best, and let me tell you why!

First and foremost this is ACTING and DIRECTING at the highest level possible. You got Al Pacino, Robert DOE Niro, Lee Strasberg ( master of acting ), John Cazale and Michael V.Gazzo to be leaded by Francis Ford Coppola.

The movie starts where ""original"" ends with congratulations to the new Godfather and then you are ""transported"" in Sicily 40 and some years in the past, where young Vito is with his mother at the funeral of his father that has been killed by the local Don. At the funeral Vito's older brother also gets killed so logical next one should be Vito, but that would never happened because Vito immigrates to New York. Meanwhile the movie shifts to Nevada where Michael ( Al Pacino ) holds the meetings between his business partners and enemies ( but hey,they don't know that )at his son's party! Then he is tried to be killed in his house, so he leaves everything to Tom's ( Robert Duvall ) hands and goes to Miami to fix this problem with his friend/enemy Hyman Roth ( Lee Strasberg ). At the end he fixes his business life and becomes even stronger as The Godfather but his private life is at rock bottom after his wife,sister,friends leaves him all alone at the top. On the other hand Vito ( Rober DOE Niro ) climbs to the top don in New York and he manages to do that and he is also respected as a person because he is man of his own words. At the end he goes back to Sicily to revenge his mother,father and a brother!

This movie can't be put into words, you gotta watch at least couple of times to understand the meaning of this film. I know that i learned a lot of things that helped me and they still do in the life.

KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE BUT YOUR ENEMY's CLOSER !!!",10
"A little bit too much but not bad. The last episode and it's music were brilliant.

Game of thrones writers should watch this before trying to build a villain. Vanya's character was extra-ordinary indeed. The complexity and the progress through the episodes was breath-taking.

I'll wait for season 2. Hope not to get disappointed.",6
"I love Harry Potter movies, but I don't know what happened to this one. The first Fantastic Beasts movie was amazing, I love it, however, this one seems like an endless intermission between big events of the past and big upcoming events. The moments and facts we want to see either didn't happen yet or are just mentioned in the past, in a quick flashback or mention. Some references are really out of place and...the characters seem to go nowhere, walking in circles. When watching, I got confused about where the characters were and who was talking about who, and I'm a Harry Potter fan. In my opinion, someone who didn't read the books or who isn't a very observant Harry Potter fan will get very lost watching this movie. Also, the movie starts skipping some events I think that would have been interesting to be seen on screen, like, a lot of things happened between the first movie and this one, but we only get mentions loose along the movie. The characters are very interesting, the acting is great and so is the CGI, the creatures are perfect and all the magic is very realistic, but in general, I found the movie too dark. I understand the importance of light and colors to build different environments, however, there were parts all the darkness made the movie experience poorer for me, in my opinion. Most Harry Potter fans will like it because of the magic world, the creatures, the spells, however, I found this movie really slow and they seem to try to bring up many separate storylines at the same time and...they don't connect very well, I felt like I was watching bits of different stories put together into a movie. As an intermission between great events, as the part of a big sequence of episodes, it's an okay movie, but I think it had so much potential to be greater. I love this franchise but just mentioning important references and characters won't make people like it, there are so many great characters there that could be invested in, have their background stories explored for real, with the proper development, but all we get are fragments and references. Okay, I understand that this movie is just a part of a sequence of episodes and it's not a ""climax part"" of main story, however, it doesn't work well on it's own. I really want this franchise to get all the love, quality and respect it deserves.",5
"Steven Spielberg has delivered yet another masterpiece with The Fabelmans. This is a movie about a kid who wants to make movies and Spielberg clearly had so much passion for this project. The directing here is obviously fantastic, I mean it's Spielberg. The cinematography is on another level here, and even the most grounded scenes look mesmerizing. This is a very moving story with so much heart to it. Gabriel LaBelle does a fantastic job starring in this film as Sammy and Michelle Williams is an absolute standout as his mother. Sammy goes through so much in life and his love for family and love for filmmaking really splits him. The inspiration he gets from his mother to go and chase his dream, to do the thing that she never did, is such a beautiful story. The way that she then is able to go and live the life she has always wanted, because of Sammy even though it hurts him, is great storytelling. This movie shows the real struggles that can happen in a family and doesn't shy away from any of it. Chloe East as Sammy's girlfriend Monica is also hilarious and I thought she deserved praise for her performance. The Fabelmans yet another example of why Spielberg is the best director of all time. 9/10.",9
"My wife refused to stop making mewing sounds untill I turned this off. Can't say she was wrong to make this demand.

We did watch about 20 minutes. Spousal abuse my arse, we had to give this a try. But self abuse? Sorry Disney, I'll give that a miss this time around?",2
"I had high expectations for this movie, thanks to the captivating trailers I'd seen. However, it didn't quite live up to the hype, though it didn't disappoint either.

On the positive side, Sophie Wilde, delivered stellar performance that carried the film. Unfortunately, the rest of the cast didn't consistently match her level of skill and sometimes came across as merely reciting lines.

While the film didn't quite deliver on the scare factor, it did offer an intriguing story. The premise was engaging, but the direction fell short in some areas, and a few scenes left me feeling underwhelmed.

In summary, this movie is a solid entry in the horror genre and is worth watching, but there's room for improvement.",5
"I wanted to like this but it was boring, poorly plotted and badly executed. Trevante Rhodes, Sandra Bullock and John Malkovich do what they can with a leaden script. To be honest, wish I hadn't bothered with it.",2
"To be honest, the overall series was amazing. None of the marvel movies or series made me laugh this much. It is a great series filled with action, comedy and romance. It was good to see old characters like Darcy and Monica.

If you are a Marvel fan, a must watch series.",9
"I know I am in the minority, but I didn't care much for this movie. It was predictable, for the most part. It dragged on for a while and was not very engaging. There were some sort of good moments here and there, and Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman's performances were great. But overall not a movie I would care to watch. I will give it one more chance, but right now I am rating it 4/10 to be generous.",4
"1.This show don't have only white and black characters and they aren't one dimensional. That's first good thing ,which differs from many marvel and DC movies or TV series. 2.that's interesting universe and we have some good plot twist and universe getting more interesting.in the end of the season we have some emphaty to bad characters. 3. "" The Boys"" is realistic show and he tells truth about media, corporation,popular people and psychology of society. It's also funny, enjoyable and worth to watch.",9
"The first knives out movie was a genuinely good watch, which is why its so surprising Rian Johnson missed the mark so badly with this movie. It tries to pretend its smart, beinging up the ""glass onion"" which is something hat seems to have many layers but is actually incredibly simple, and it makes it seem like the mystery has so many layers but everyone will miss it since it since its actually simple. But actually, the second we are told the real story about whats going on all along midway through the movie, everyone is bound to suspect exactly who the murderer is, but will usually look past it since its a stupid way to go. Well good job rian, you've subverted the audience by picking the plot point that is so dumb and basic that nobody would believe you'd actually go through with it

Everyone in this movie is insufferable to watch as soon as they are introduced. Every time Kate Hudson's character showed up on screen it made me want to turn the movie off, Edward Norton looks like hes trying but the writing is god awful, half the characters become background characters so much so that they become extras, Daniel Craig gives half the performance he did last time, and every character is written to be the most obnoxious people imaginable. And yes, I understand that is what Rian Johnson was going for, but why? Why would anyone design their movie to be so hard to sit through just to make a stupid point about celebrities thinking their smarter than they are (ironic considering that describes Rian Johnson) that could be said in a sentence long tweet if you really think people care, as if everyone doesn't already know that a majority of celebrities are idiotic and bad people

The finale to this movie is so incredibly bad that any good will it picked up around the middle (when the only characters on screen were daniel craig and janelle monae). Like before, the exact person you think did it actually did it. No twist, no second look to see who really did it, no final piece of evidence, its just the obvious answer all along was the killer. Then, in classic rian johnson fashion, the climax to the movie and the triumphant win for the protagonist is... a temper tantrum. The character is shown to actually be intelligent the whole movie, then in the last moment all of that goes out the window. If the ending were to play out in a realistic way at ALL, the only one being arrested and ruined is the protagonist, but for plot convenience and crappy writing, somehow the killer is the one who's ruined. I cant explain how without going into spoilers, but all Ill say is ruining a new product doesn't make the owner lose all their money, or make their previous product somehow go down the drain, and those who depend on that money still will be willing to accept it

Overall this movie is such a letdown because all it was is a 2 and a half hours wasted listening to Rian Johnsons childish view of the world and how problems get solved. Id say this movie is just a glass onion overall, but it doesn't even have the layers to pretend its complex.",3
"I don't know any such books, bus as a series alone it's fairly good. Manages not to be overly predictable but suffers from modern times.

Unfortunately it loses impact because affirmative action and unnecessary diatribes have supposedly crossed over into the supernatural too. Because of course it's impossible for any of us to get anywhere with merit.",6
"No character development, totally unoriginal and overall not worthy of a long and detailled review. The high budget value is visible, but it would be insane to rate this movie higher than for example fight club or Donnie Darko.",2
"... But it gets worse as it goes on. From mysterious to melodramatic and dull. Watch the the series up until episode four and just imagine the rest, do yourself that favour.

I promise you, it loses all its charm.

Wednesday starts off as someone who doest care, she is though and strong and quirky. Suddenly you notice the shift. She starts to care and feelings are all over the place, completely shatters the Addam concept.

The supporting actors also suffers the same fate. I would have accepted it if it wasn't for the strong episode one and two, but the lack of transition baffles me.

Also, suddenly new characters are introduced to make the show make sense. Unfortunately, it really doesn't. Good luck to the protagonist in her future ventures, I only hope that the story of the Addams are treated with more respect in the next installment.",5
"There's just one thing that really impressed me about this series and that is the high IMDb rating given to this heap of garbage.

I say this because I find it utterly amazing that the reviewers who rated this steaming pile of excrement with 9's and 10's must surely ALL be under 12 years of age, and yet they have somehow managed to write reviews that, for the most part, are well worded, grammatically correct and with very few spelling errors. So - well done, kids!!

For anyone over 12 years of age - please, just stay right away from this stinker.

"If vested in the conclusion, the first season will not end with the closure you're looking for, but the ride is riveting and witty, featuring some really great use of sound.

The Umbrella Society reads well in its description, and delivers well beyond the short description that Netflix provides. Indeed, this show feels like a much larger production, delivering little known, but quality, actors and award winning effects.

Season 1 introduces a family of individuals adopted by the most mysterious man in the world, each with their own power. Fast forward 30 years and the family has become highly dysfunctional and brought together only by the death of their adoptive father to thwart an impending apocalypse. Standing in their way are time-traveling hitmen and their own inner daemons.

If comparisons are to be made on the subject matter, those familiar with The Watchmen comics and the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen are in a similar vein, mixing dysfunctional humans with exotic powers. As a show, it is similar to Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, probably the most alike of any show matching tone. Both also make excellent use of music and humour without compromising its excellent and witty dialogue. Both are also noted to rely on gruesome details, disturbing graphic violence and mature subject matter punctuating episodes that are otherwise relatively free of coarse language and sexual content. This ramps up towards the concluding episodes in season 1 of the Umbrella Agency, rushing towards the climax at a pace that makes the rest of the season feel slow in comparison.

Relying heavily on its genre to garner interest, there is much more to be found than just a time travel, superhero paradox.",7
"In a motion picture like Lost in Translation, the bonding and relatability of the characters have an even more important emphasis than they usually do. Unfortunately the relatability is something that is completely devoid in Lost in Translation.

The acting in the entire picture is mediocre, and this is combined with an average screenplay that consists of mostly 'Hey dude' or 'You know' juvenile kind of dialogue. This is excluding Bill Murray as Bob Harris, who was pretty much the only actor in the film able to perform on a decent level, as he captured the emptiness of his character perfectly due to many of his fantastic cynical takes on his commercial scenes. The cinematography has some great shots, such as the golf course which shows the audience a great level of depth & a couple of outside the car window shots which show our protagonist's face with the mirror image of urban Japan reflected in it. However, there are also multiple weird behind the shoulder low camera angles which make it seem like more of a documentary instead of a motion picture, & Sofia Copolla doesn't seem very fluent in the technicality of the camera movements, as many of the camera movements are jumping all over the place. Copolla also shows us a lot of shots in public occasions while focusing on people nobody knows and nobody cares about while music is playing. While this is presumably done to show us that Murray & Scarlett Johansson's character Charlotte do not belong in this world, the immersion into their characters is severely decreased since because of this since the focus is seldom actually on both of them alone.

Lost in Translation's strength is from its silent parts, the slow walks around the city or Charlotte's walk around the temple. As soon as people open their mouths ( Except for Murray ) the quality significantly decreases. Giovanni Ribisi and Anna Faris in particular are extremely cringeworthy in their acting, and their line delivery will embarrass you all the way through. Scarlett Johansson seems to be on the level of Kristen Stewart in showing emotional range because her facial expression never seems to really change during the course of the film. Her weird quirky kind of slightly smiling facial expression is all we see the entire film. She frequently uses 'uuuhmmm' to open a sentence & seems extremely insecure about her qualities on screen. A bond with Johansson's character can therefore never really be formed, since she cannot show any kind of human emotion that will make me really believe that she is in the situation that her character is in. ( There was also an obligatory phone call with her sister in which she starts crying due to her alienation to society & her husband, but Johansson's performance here also lacks any kind of emotional depth )

In the end the relationship between Murray & Johansson seems forced and unreal because of this, and although the scenes before their meeting are a wonderful showing of how distant they seem to be from the world they live in, the mediocrity of its script & Johansson's sub par acting destroy any illusion the audience might have that this relationship could be real.

As the title suggests, it is also a neverending stream of cringeworthy scenes. While this is ofcourse partly a deliberate move by Copolla since it wants to show us how alienated its characters are, but the constant stream of cringe this picture has become is overdoing it a bit. Many of Johansson's line deliveries are extremely cringeworthy, Murray's commercials are also extremely cringeworthy and will leave the audience embarrassed. A couple of their scenes together such as the one where he reluctantly kisses her in the elevator are also extreme cringe. Because of the plain absurdity of its awkwardness, Lost in Translation does indeed also become quite ridiculous.

Lost in Translation has a great Bill Murray performance, some great shots in its cinematography, but it also has extremely weak supporting performances, many absurdly awkward scenes and a mediocre script with not much important dialogue or the building of a narrative, eventually resulting in a disappointment.",4
"I gave the first 2 seasons 9/10 or higher.

Amazing. Recommend them to anyone, so good!

Season 3 is just talking. One of the most boring shows I've seen. On episode 8, and thinking of just giving in.",7
"Great start to a promising series. Keeps you hooked with intriguing story line coupled with some good performance from the cast. Music of the show is the center piece of all things and the retro treatment of the show only adds more to its fantastical delivery and direction.

Eagerly waiting for an announcement for Season 2

Perfect. All views are amazing. Transition of the scenes are very successful and it made one an amazing series. I binged all episodes.,8
"I will rate this movie on characters/script, acting, plot, production and an x-factor.

The characters in this movie have no personality or depth. Worse, because you cannot sympathise with them in any way, they add a clichéd sob story for the main character, to fill the gap left by a clinical inability to project any humanity onto him, through the use of dialogue. Score = 1/10.

The acting is OK. Average. But with no characters to act, I would imagine this isn't hard. Score = 3/10.

The plot is complicated (for a movie), fast paced and based on the most spurious, simplistic and quasi-scientific description of the human mind. It demands that you concentrate to keep up, so it is very disappointing to realise that your efforts are unrewarded. There are logical, philosophical, scientific and psychological flaws with every turn of the plot, and it isn't even consistent in these. This makes it a very boring movie to watch so a big fat 1/10 for plot.

Production is good. Nice special effects with a big budget. 7/10.

So far we have 12/40, which is 3/10. This means I would have to give -7/10 for x-factor, in order to arrive at a final score of 1/10, which is what this movie deserves, because it claims to be so much that it is not. So x-factor gets -7/10 exactly.",1
"I cannot tell you how many times I have watched Spotlight loving it each time and think that Mark is a seriously fine actor but this is just terrible. Should have called is Dreary Waters as the photography is terrible there is ""no color"" in the color of this movie and it drags on and on. Seriously as one of the producers Mark should have know what it takes to make a great movie - or just watch Civil Action with John T. or Erin with Julia R. and other greats including Witness for the Prosecution should have got into the courtroom so much earlier.

C'mon reshoot the movie !",4
"Knives Out was incredibly refreshing, and I'm happy that it revitalised the murder mystery genre. Glass Onion, was ok.

Now Benoit Blanc is a great character, and the best part of both movies. With that out of the way, my main issue was the structure of the film. There's too much time spent rewatching moments that have been recontextualised halfway through the film (similarly to the first one). Johnson doesn't trust the viewer to remember what had happened-it's like he doesn't care about repeat viewings.

It drags out the film too much. I also felt that after we were caught up, a lot of the characters existed purely for quips, and felt rather inconsequential in the second act.

Still, it's a fun movie. The sets are great, there's two cameos of actors I love, and the actual mystery itself is interesting. Plus, I do have to emphasise, Benoit Blanc is fantastic.",6
"Queen is a comedy drama film starring Kangana Ranaut as the lead, who plays the role of Rani Mehra. Rani is a timid & shy girl living in Delhi with her parents. During her college days she falls in love with Vijay (Rajkummar Rao) and is to marry him in a big Indian wedding. The story kicks off when Vijay, on the eve of their wedding day, informs Rani that he has had a change of heart and thinks they are not right for each other. Dejected and heartbroken Rani feels she should build up the courage to be independent and bold rather than being helpless and reliant. With this epiphany she asks her parents to let her go by herself on the pre-planned honeymoon she was supposed to go with Vijay. Hesitant & scared her parents allow her to go. Rani starts her journey in Paris where she meets Vijayalakshmi (Lisa Haydon) a free spirited single mother. Alien to the European ethos initially she gets astounded by the city and its culture, but with a few passing days she gets comfortable and starts enjoying her solo trip, with the next stop at Amsterdam. The film carries on till the end in similar fashion with Rani trying fresh experiences, making new friends & creating life long memories all of which helps her find her own individuality and become a liberated women of the 21st century. The storyline is quite ever-present in the west but it is rarely culminated in the Indian landscape, that too with a female leading the screen. Kangana Ranaut may not be liked by everyone, but her portrayal of Rani will be delightful for every kind of a viewer. Rao & Hayden too do a satisfactory job in supporting roles. Vikas Bahl's direction is spot on and meets all expectations. Unlike other Indian films, Queen's soundtrack fits perfectly and adds depth to the story. There isn't very much that is disappointing. But to cherry pick a couple of aspects, with dead right cinematography and location setting the movie displays a very archetypal European setting. Not that that's a bad thing but they could have been bold and added a modern element to it too. Adding on there are a few scenes were the dialogues are a bit shaky which could have been written better. In conclusion, Queen has a handful of errors that too don't affect the viewer experience in a slightest way. It is a must-watch for all audiences and will be a wonderful watch for everyone.

"The series is a breath of fresh air: It's not flippant , but neither is it geekily earnest; it's moody and dark, yet never self-indulgent; it has strong characterization without resorting to caricature. (Sadly, I am not qualified to judge whether it stays true to the comic book.)

Daredevil is set in the same universe that Marvel has developed over the last half-decade through various films and TV series, including Captain America and Agent Carter. It's a world where superheroes are very much in the public eye - the struggle between various masked men and women has nearly destroyed New York City.

Hell's Kitchen is a purgatory of abandoned buildings infested with drug dealers and pimps - the perfect place for a budding superhero to ply his trade.

Cox is quite good as Matt, a complicated man burning with rage who occupies a gray area: He serves the side of the good and the just, but he's happy to visit crushing violence on his enemies.

Thing is, Matt has no superpowers - and he's blind. Yet he has nurtured his remaining four senses into powerful tools, and, like the mythical Japanese blind swordsman Zatoichi, he has honed his martial arts skills so perfectly he could kill a roomful of sighted people without breaking a sweat.

Solid performance from the actors across the board, especially Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio, who plays a fantastic villain.",9
"Moon Knight due its comic book storylines was, perhaps prematurely, hyped as a serious show dealing with mental health - a darker Marvel project potentially focusing on dissociative identity disorder in a serious manner.

The problem with Moon Knight is, it just doesn't know what sort of a show it wants to be. Over the 6 episodes it tries everything from Deadpool to Wonder Woman, Jungle Book to Rampage and Indiana Jones to Spawn.

One can say, in a meta way, it perfectly fulfils the DID brief.

It is watchable and probably more satisfying if you have no idea about the title character. Otherwise, by the time you get to the last episode's formulaic big hero vs villain fight, it is hard to care about what happens.",4
"The Phase 2 Marvel Avengers tie-in movies have been kind of under a dry spell. Sure, Iron Man 3 and Thor the Dark World were entertaining, but they were no where near capturing the essence of the Marvel movies like The Avengers and before did. However, if there was any movie to bring light into this phase 2 of Marvel movies, it would be Captain America the Winter Soldier. Ever since the first trailer came out for this, there was lots of promise. So the question is, was that promise fulfilled? In this movie, Steve Rogers is still getting used to the new world after being frozen and whatnot. He has been taken up by SHIELD to do missions. During a mission, he discovers a secret behind SHIELD that could put everyone's lives in jeopardy. So Captain America, along with Black Widow, has to discover this secret and put a stop to what's going on. And even encounter the Winter Soldier. I loved the plot for this movie. It was well written and it certainly got me engrossed into the movie. One of the things that made the story shine was how it developed the characters. It made you really care about them and in some cases, fear for them. The acting in this movie is well done. Chris Evans does an awesome job as Captain America and I can't picture anyone who could play him better. Sam Jackson was a great Nick Fury, Anthony Mackie was a great Falcon, Sebastian Stan was a great Winter Soldier, and Scarlett Johansson was a great Black Widow. It's also just fun to look at Scarlett Johansson so… yeah. The action in this movie is some of the best I've ever seen. It contains action that looks real, brutal, and gritty. You feel every hit that's blown. The action's exciting and certainly made me giggle with excitement. And yes, guys can giggle. Despite all of this, I have a couple minor, nit-picky complaints. First is that I feel there are a couple scenes that feel out of place. The movie as a whole is pretty consistent with its necessary scenes, but there are a couple parts in the movie that seem out of place. (SPOILER WARNING!) One of them is the scene where Captain America meets with the girlfriend he left behind back in the 40s. It is a nice scene in its own right, but it feels out of place because nothing like this happens for the rest of the movie (SPOILER OVER!). This doesn't happen a lot, though. There's probably about three of these out of place points. I also wish that the Winter Soldier was in this movie more. The Winter Soldier is an absolutely awesome character and he certainly is a menace. However, I think that he wasn't in the movie quite enough for this movie to be called ""Captain America: The Winter Soldier"". Maybe about ten more minutes of screen time would be perfect. Overall, Captain America: The Winter Soldier was fun, exciting, intense, and funny without the humor completely overshadowing the material. This is certainly one of the best Avengers tie-in movies. Yes, The Avengers movie itself is still my favorite in the series, but it's a close call between Iron Man and this. This is, without a doubt, my favorite movie of the year and you absolutely need to see it. And don't leave before the credits. Just saying.",9
"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is a sequel that fails to capture the any of the already limited magic of the original. The film tries too hard to stick to the formula that worked in the first movie, resulting in a predictable and unoriginal storyline. The humor, which was one of the highlights of the first film, falls flat for the most part, with many of the jokes feeling forced and contrived. The film also suffers from a lack of character development, with most of the characters feeling one-dimensional and underdeveloped. The special effects are impressive, but they are not enough to save the film from its numerous flaws. Overall, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is a disappointing follow-up that fails to recapture the charm of the original. It is a forgettable movie that is only worth watching if you are a die-hard fan of the franchise.",4
"The amount of reviews here saying ""it's the best thing I've ever seen"" is absolutely hilarious and after the pilot episode everyone decided it was worthy of a 10/10 rating, which it is definately not. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with it as such, other than Ellie being probably one of the most irritating child characters ive seen, but there is nothing at all about the first 3 episodes that particularly stands out. Everything I've seen so far is just average and generic for this type of plot. We've seen it all before, which I have nothing against, but it is no where near as good as people are making out.

I don't even understand what the point of episode 3 was. A full episode about a gay couple who had almost nothing to do with the main story itself, other than the fact they had a weapon stash. It was a completely unnecessary episode in my opinion.

Apart from that I don't really have any complaints, but certainly nothing worthy of praising either. 6/10.",6
Very Boring Series fights are also boring not just feel they are superheroes and they didnt fight like superheroes.,2
"There may be other 'series' out there in this genre but this is something really special to watch because, to my mind, it is so realistic and with none of the tropes you'll find in other offering of this kind. You can't imagine how emotional both the story and the acting is until you watch it. The acting and story are an order of magnitude greater than anything I have watched in the last five years. I find myself longing to find and watch something one half as good as this series was for me. Everything about 'Normal People' is first rate and definitely a cut above most anything you might care to compare it to.",8

"I normally do not share my word of wisdom with the world, this is an exception! I am positive by now you have seen the trailers and promotions, if not DO NOT WATCH THEM and get ready to impressed. So I will not be boring you with the story but only what I thought of it.

Karthik Calling Karthik is an exceptionally well made film from the beginning to the end (promise I wasn't paid for this). The story is very well written which grips and demands your attention from the start till the last moment, even the intermission sequence was special. I have to admit before I entered the theatre I had pre-empted view, which was quickly demolished by the film and I was hooked! Now people will be comparing this to Fight Club (great film) or Donnie Darko but believe me it is very different, yes it may share protagonist's similarity but that it is where the resemblance ends.

I found the songs were very well blended with the film sequences and not like ""every 5 minutes out of nowhere"". There was no ""skin show"" at all or half naked woman's dancing to grab your attention (see Prince Trailer for this) although there was one sequence with Deepika which I did not mind at all! You can definitely watch this movie with your family. And it's not all serious business there were lots of moments with neat jokes. The love story which is the backbone of the movie was not over done and I thought it was very well incorporated with other parts.

Final thoughts, I loved this movie it is not My Name Is Khan (lots of overdone sequences e.g. Mama Jenny song or Barack Obama speech) or like 3 Idiots (Phunsukh Wangdu). It is a very well made film which is ahead of current Bollywood trend e.g. ""pull my finger and find out"" or any Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar flicks. Don't get me wrong it has its flaws e.g. some people will totally hate the ending and some people will love it, but for me the story and the acting outweighs its flaws by many, many times. The penultimate question would be will I be recommending this movie to my family and friends over My Name Is Khan or 3 idiots (exceptional good films in their own right) my answer would be definitely yes (but you should absolutely watch those two films, they are great).",10
"Captain America The Winter Soldier is not perfect film but is the perfect comic book film. If you pay attention enough you'll notice some conveniences and clichés and lapses in cinematography that are aside from it being a comic book film and could've been fixed/avoided and made the film slightly better. But boy is this film freaken awesome in almost every way. People talk about this film as an espionage type film, and it is one in many ways and it does that very very well with great tension put up throughout the film and very clever moments fitting of a good espionage film and has some great commentary on the War on Terror and the ethical conflict between Captain America and (to those familiar with Marvel Comics) the ideology of Iron Man and S.H.I.E.L.D. (not that Iron Man appears in the film, though is referenced here and there, which is cool). For me personally, I loved how Hydra in the film carry out their plan, because it makes sense and is a very smart, very clever, very despicable plan, and makes for a smart film. But it is also surprisingly a great hero film - the kind that will inspire the good side in you, especially from Captain America. Man, that guy is a hero and a true friend, and just on these points I've mentioned, this is probably my all time favorite hero film and a very refreshing approach on MCU films. Let's talk about the characters. I've mentioned Captain America as a real hero, and I say that because of the way he talks, the dialogue coming from him, the actions he does, THE AWESOME FIGHTING AND ESPIONAGE SCENES WITH THIS GUY (I MEAN WOW!), his morals and willingness to do what is right, his loyalty, the charming quirks here and there, and the way he is portrayed by Chris Evans. At this point, I can't imagine anyone else as Captain America. Chris Evans could've very easily been just some pretty boy with abs, but Chris Evans really fits the role of a hero. He has that honest face and voice needed for when Captain America speaks and acts, and he has the physique and expression for violent action that make for great actions scenes. We also have Black Widow, and while I did not see the point in some of the things she said to Captain America (like in the beginning), is actually a really great addition to Captain America, as not only is she a badass, but she also has real conflict and whenever she is not in her fun, badass mode, she actually has great emotion and realness to her, and as with Chris Evans for Captain America, Scarlett Johanson plays her really well. The thing about her character is that very easily she could've been played as this badass with nothing else going for her, and usually actresses that play those roles are not all that great. Scarlett Johanson, however, does not follow that trend, and she has some really great moments with her character, and I'm glad that she played the role of Black Widow. And not enough people are talking about how fun and great Falcon is, played by Anthony Mackie. Not only does he have really fun moments and awesome action scenes, but he makes for a true friend to Captain America, and I love that and really look forward to seeing him and Captain America more together. Now we don't really need to talk about Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury being awesome, because of course he is! All the dialogue coming out of that man's mouth is so awesome and fitting for the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and for the actor of Samuel L. Jackson. One character that kind of stole the show, though, is the Winter Soldier. Oh my word is there such depth and moral conflict and moments of greatness in action and in emotion from the character that I don't believe there has been a villain like him that I've seen in a long time. His relationship with one of the characters really really hits you right in your gut and by the end of it, THE FEELS!!! OH MY WORD!!! THE FEELS! Now, I did mention in the beginning that this is not a perfect film, and just to expand on that, there were a few moments where things were a bit convenient (like say, when Winter Soldier goes after Nick Fury but for some reason takes a slow walk to him, which allows Nick Fury to escape) or clichéd (I don't want to mention to keep this review spoiler free) or a bit too much on the side of exposition and dumbing-down for the audience (like at times, Captain America was not quick enough to follow the logic, not because the character was like that but because the film was attempting to explain to the audience), but there is no way on Earth any of that detracts from the film, and that is why I give this film a perfect score, even though it is imperfect. And for you who rolls your eyes at someone giving a perfect score to an imperfect film, just say I rounded up ;).",10
"The premise of the movie was supposed to set in Dhaka, a city of 10+ million people in Bangladesh. Unfortunately, they completely missed mark making the set in Dhaka.

To start with, the accent of the locals are wrong, they are speaking in an accent that's commonly used in West Bengal, India. Dhaka and People in Bangladesh, in General, have a completely different accent. Throughout the movie, Hindi songs are heard in the background, where everyone is watching tv during midday. People go to work here, Dhaka is the capital, nobody sits on their asses watching TV midday. Bangladesh has its own music industry, although the movie had some issues acquiring copyright for some of the songs to play in the background.

The environment is wrong. Sure Dhaka has slums and dirty places, but most of the city is developed enough with an actual nice road system. If they set the scene somewhere else in Bangladesh, it would've been more convincing. The roads are basically dirt roads in this movie where Dhaka has one of the best road systems in the Country. Dhaka doesn't have that kinda dense jungle anywhere near the city, certainly not near the Buriganga river.

The criminal class in Bangladesh is completely different. This isn't Africa, people don't employ child soldiers here. And certainly carry AK-47 in hand and in the open.

The Police uniform and looks are completely misjudged. They are trying to portray the elite force of Bangladesh, Known as Rapid Action Battalion. They are not regular police. The deal with counter-terrorism and similar stuff. It should've been the police that deals with criminal or action in the street. Police vehicles are wrong.

Don't get me wrong, the entire movie is brilliantly shot and exceptionally action-packed. But this provides a complete misrepresentation of Bangladesh, as well as the city of Dhaka. People who don't have an idea about Bangladesh will get a false sense for a beautiful country by the misrepresented set of this movie.

"Forrest Gump is a bad, bad movie. It is an idiot going around falling backwards into heroism, fortune, and friendship in a very unrealistic fashion. It has no importance to society whatsoever. It adds nothing to one's personal enlightenment and does not make you think in the least. I suppose it is supposed to be a ""feel good"" film but it is too long and boring to be that. The fact that it has gotten so much praise notwithstanding winning Best Picture just makes me hate this film even more. If it is a feel good movie, let it be a feel good movie, but don't try to pass it off as some monument of film making and give it the same award as Schindler's List received and Saving Private Ryan got screwed out of. This movie is as retarded as Forrest himself is.",3
"Romantic comedy-drama film directed by Homi Adajania and written by Imtiaz Ali. The film was produced by Saif Ali Khan and Dinesh Vijan on a budget of 35 crore. It stars Deepika Padukone, Saif Ali Khan, Diana Penty, Dimple Kapadia, Boman Irani and Randeep Hooda. The film score and soundtrack were composed by Pritam, Yo Yo Honey Singh and Salim-Sulaiman.

Cocktail was released theatrically worldwide on 13 July 2012 and became a commercial success, grossing 126 crore worldwide, and was one of the highest grossing Hindi films of 2012. It received positive reviews from critics, who praised the direction, soundtrack, humor, cinematography, costumes and the performances of the cast, with particular praise directed towards Padukone and Penty's performances, proving to be a breakthrough for them.

"I found this movie so frustrating because it didn't know what it wanted to be.

It had ""potential"" -- which is what people see when what's in front of them isn't good enough. This movie had me rolling with its satire and some fantastically dry, understated jokes. (""It's essential to listen to black voices right now."") It had lots to say about the black experience in America today, and set you up to think it would deliver, but instead...

....the comedy and satire, its real brilliance, was overshadowed by the heavy-handed and depressing family drama, that, at least to me, didn't seem to have a message of its own, not did it seem to have anything to do with the comedy side.

So half of the movie to me is an easy 8 and I loved it, but the other half I give a 3 because it bored me and at one point I almost turned it off. Overall, I guess it's a 5 for me.",5
"Was fortunate enough to watch this title in my late teens after becoming continuously disillusioned with hollywood blockbusters, especially comic book movies. Endgame is a glorious scrap monument of tropes and cliches with little continuity - it is Hollywood personified. While the MCU is an impressive achievement overall, a 2.5 hour long action figure line-up with sparkly, beautiful star actors interacting with glorified CG cartoons doesn't hold much substance beneath the glitz and glitter.

If you're like me, however, and have grown tired of repetitive tropes, this is a hilarious unintentional comedy.",3

The movie was a bit disjointed. While the visual effects and the scenery was stunning I didn't feel that the emotional connection of World War 1 was strong enough. Some of the scenes were a little far fetched and the reality of war was a lost towards the middle. The plot was well structured. I only wished the flow was as strong as the plot.,5

"Blech, did Ron Howard direct this thing, or is James Mangold just trying to trick us into thinking he did?

Look, I'm not at all into cars or car racing, so maybe I'm not the target audience for this. But I'm also not into diamonds or the diamond business, and I thought ""Uncut Gems"" was one of the best films of the year. I don't have to be ""into"" a subject in order to enjoy a movie about it, if the movie is done well.

""Ford v Ferrari"" is the kind of dull, bland movie made to be nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award, which....guess what?.....it was. The world is full of urgent problems, so what's the last thing we need? A bro movie about a car race from 50 years ago. But if you're going to make one, try to make one more memorable than this. This is the kind of movie that makes whenever it's set look like a glossy magazine version of that particular time period. It's the kind of movie that has one woman in it, in this case The Wife, who the screenplay assures us belongs in this world of boring white men because she knows a lot about cars and can be sexually suggestive when talking about them. It's the kind of movie that lets us know who the chief rival in the big final race is by cutting to shots of him glowering at the screen literally every 15 seconds. It's full of a certain American attitude I simply can't stand, exemplified by the fact that it has to make all of the Europeans in the movie look like bungling fools. I'm not sure what the movie's point is. I think it means to set up a conflict between those men who built and raced cars because of their passion for the art of it and those who just wanted to make a buck off of it. So of course this message is packaged in the safest, shiniest, most corporate Hollywood product imaginable.

Matt Damon's good ol' boy accent is unacceptable. Christian Bale is too good to be in this movie. Noah Jupe is a cute kid but he's used as a cheap narrative tactic to make us even more worried about the race scenes because we don't want to have to watch a little boy watch his dad go up in flames in real time. The best moment in the movie belongs to Tracey Letts.

Grade: C",5

"""The Last of Us"" has so much good in it: The direction and cinematography, the performances, the production value, the plot - all of it is of an incredibly high quality, higher than one may expect from a seemingly typical post-apocalyptic television series. So what then garners a rating as low as the one I have given? Simply put, ""The Last of Us"" has some of the worst pacing I have ever seen in a mainstream TV show.

God, how I wanted to love this series. There's no denying that Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey are giving their all here - both of them had me openly weeping at various moments due to the sheer emotional resonance of their performances. However, with all the quality and production value both in front of and behind the camera, ""The Last of Us"" suffers from a surprisingly rushed pace. The phrase ""too much but not enough"" comes to mind here, especially considering the amount of flashbacks that this series contains. I mean, two episodes are virtually nothing but flashbacks, and almost every single episode contains a flashback of some sort that grinds the current story to a halt. So, when a flashback isn't occurring, the writers need to catch the story up, leading to a two episode finale where the episodes are the two shortest of the entire show. I mean, what's up with that?

In a show about a proxy father-daughter relationship, it's unfortunate that said relationship takes up as little screen time as it does - Joel and Ellie are the stars of the show, and yet it feels as if they are the ones who are seen the least in the series. And so, when their inevitable bonding occurs, it is unbelievable simply because the show devoted so little time to them. And that, to me, is this show's biggest downfall; I simply didn't believe the relationship between them because the series spends more time in flashbacks and with other characters than with the two people the audience cares most about.

Truth be told, the show spends so much time in the past that it feels like the present is an afterthought; the reason the game series is beloved is because of the father-daughter relationship between Joel and Ellie - the show forgets that for two whole episodes, and ignores it for basically four to five episodes, leading to a climax that, while riveting, is unbelievable due to the lack of proper build up. And that's such a shame, because Pedro and Bella are phenomenal in their roles.

Additionally, for a zombie series, the show barely features any zombies - the first few episodes have all the undead violence you can ask for, but that all gets put on the back-burner for the remaining episodes to focus on the true villains: the people. And while that's a novel idea, it rings hollow, especially during the last episode when it is finally revealed why the Fireflies want Ellie. Let's just say that ""The Walking Dead"" did it better.

""The Last of Us"" has a lot to like, but also leaves a lot to be desired. The production value and overall quality is through the roof, so it's a shame that the pacing is as rushed as it is; two or three more episodes would've worked wonders in building up the relationship between the two titular characters. What we got wasn't bad, per se, but it wasn't nearly as fantastic as it could've been.",5

"Visually and conceptually, this film is a 10 out of 10. But where Anderson's films usually generate a great deal of empathy and affection for the characters, I felt very removed from this movie. It was funny and beautiful and clever on the surface of the screen, but I never felt involved in it.

That's fine, actually. I don't mind being challenged a bit. Directors make some films for audiences and some films for themselves. I get the impression that Wes Anderson made Grand Budapest for himself. It was not really for me, as much as I love most of his films, but I appear to be in the minority.",3

It's definitely in the top three and may be my number one. It all comes down to the script. Unlike most superhero flicks, the story does not involve chasing and stopping a shiny object in order to save the earth. Instead, we have a tightly written political thriller. This could have easily been a Tom Clancy novel that had Captain America written into it. The story has many brilliant twists. The action scenes are spectacular. The visual effects are close to perfect. You name it, and the movie nails it - acting, directing, music. Chris Evans is at his best in the lead role. The movie also stands up to repeat viewings, which can be a rarity when they have some surprising twists. Even when you know what's coming, it's still a fantastic movie.",10

And the others too, Bruce Willis always ""acts"" cool-guys, but only because his face looks like that... I like Vhing Rhames, but in this film he had only a few scenes, with only 2 or 3 articulate sentences... But watch it, and decide that you liked it or not, and then when everyone quotes from this, you'll seem to be a ""very-cool-guy"" too... I must say, that the soundtrack was really cool, so it's worth for that.",6
"I was extremely disappointed by this movie. I stuck with it to the end to give it a chance but, unfortunately, it never got any better (or any less pretentious).

The only good point was, I think, the cinematography which beautifully captured both the flashy excitement of Tokyo and the serenity of rural Japan, but while the scenery caught my attention the characters, sadly, did not.

I felt that there was not enough of a story to engage my interest, and for those who think it's because I 'didn't get it', I'll say maybe not, but I'm happy with that.

Lost in Translation was, overall, a bad experience for me and when the main characters had trouble sleeping, they should have rented this movie.",1

"Saw IRON MAN 2 over the weekend and thought it was merely okay. Doesn't come close to the original. And I wasn't exactly going crazy about the original one either. The best part was without a doubt the Monaco race track scene where Whiplash makes his entrance. That scene was, in one word, AMAZING!! Probably the greatest entrance of a villain in any superhero movie that I've seen. And the action that follows was equally brilliant! Unfortunately everything else ranged from merely okay to downright baaaad. Tony sitting in a donut was downright cringe-worthy as was Sam Jackson's lame line about exiting the donut. Hardy-harr-harr.. who the heck came up with that one? And the scene where Tony gets drunk and rowdy at the party immediately reminded me of the scene where Peter Parker does the same thing in SPIDER-MAN 3. Yuck!! And I agree with Roger Ebert - the finale was both overwhelming and underwhelming! Overwhelming because of all those hundreds of drones flying around blasting Iron Man with all the firepower they can muster. How the city stayed intact with all those huge fireballs left and right is beyond me. Much less how lucky can one Iron Man get against a slew of such machines. Even by comic-books standards this is really pushing it. But then we get to the showdown we've been waiting for - Iron Man vs. Whiplash! How long does that last? Oh a few measly seconds. Are you kidding me?! How can you create a climax which isn't even 1/4 as great as the racetrack scene. I wish they scrapped all those drones and gave us a proper ending with Iron Man vs. Whiplash. I mean this ending makes the ending in the original one (Iron Man vs. Iron Monger) look like a masterpiece in comparison. And I actually considered THAT one pretty underwhelming - there's just not too much excitement seeing two metal suits clanging against each other.

So yeah I thought this one was a considerable drop-off from the first one. The actors were all good (though I still prefer the acting in the first one) and the racetrack scene was superior to anything in the first film but outside of that the story is really uninteresting and bland. And the ending, as I said, was both overwhelming and underwhelming.",5

"After booting the Earthlings off Pandora at the end of the last film, species-traitor Jake Sully, now permanently in blue-face, has settled down with his growing family of hybrids only to be called back to be the great-blue-hope and save the mawkishly spiritual natives when the incredibly awful, but usually incompetent, humans return in force. Like the first Avatar film, the CGI and practical special effects are superb but unlike the first film, we've seen it all before, so they don't make up for the simplistic story, juvenile script, and card-board acting (both by people and CGI entities). James Cameron's flair for action and techno-imagery is on display, as is his almost pathological lack of subtlety as the painfully perfect Na'vi demonstrate, like the Ewoks did before them, that technologically sophisticated weaponry is no match for spears and bows'n'arrows when the latter are wielded by the righteous and/or oppressed (wishful thinking with, sadly, little historical support). In addition to the overly-long and repetitive battle scenes, and colourful but sophomoric 'new-agey' moments, we also have to put up with a lot of 'awkward teenage blues' as the youngsters infiltrate pretty much every scene (and do exactly what you expect they are going to do). IMO, the worst decision Cameron made was to contrive to have the Na'vi be heard in English, which just highlights the weakness of the incredibly clichéd dialogue (especially that of the 'younglings', which seems to be pandering to teenage audiences as the characters all talk as though they learned the language hanging around a mall in 2020, bro). Audibly, the only thing more risible than the dialogue was the Na'vi's incessant 'hissing', a gimmicky trope that was quickly beaten to death (it didn't help that when they weren't hissing, they were speaking perfect contemporary English). All-in-all: cloying, self-righteous, excessively drawn-out, and not particularly interesting, with a premise and plot so message-driven that the entire film might as well be treated as a parable (just a different J. C.).",4
"This gritty fantasy series is based on the fantasy novels by Polish writer Sapkowski, already propelled to international fame by the masterful CD Projekt Red videogames.

The eight-episodes first season is a solid beginning. People involved in the production have obviously done their homework, from the haunting soundtrack with its feral mix of vocals, guitar, strings and percussions (inspired by Wild Hunt's score) to details like Geralt's use of the Signs.

Henry Cavill is a pleasant surprise as protagonist Geralt of Rivia, the titular ""Witcher"" (monster hunter), a sort of fantasy Man With No Name. Cavill is clearly a fan and effectively channels Doug Cockle's original performance, playing Geralt with the right mixture of world-weary cynicism and decency.

Narrative is compelling but structure a little clunky in the first episodes, a result of cramming together a collection of different short stories about Geralt. Still, it builds up to a story with clearer forward momentum. A promising start.

"I've always had and in fact always will have a sense of awe on the level of technology Hollywood manages to apply in creating motion pictures. The sequences, sets, artwork etc. look extremely genuine on screen that gives us a real time experience. Now, there is a popular sect of movies in Hollywood that boasts extravaganza in everything except a logical storyline and among them as one of the front runners is Iron Man 2. Directed by Jon Favreau, the director for the first venture of Iron Man series casts all the same actors in the previous roles and the new ones being Scarlett Johansson, Don Cheadle and Mickey Rourke in this sequel which boasts almost twice the quality of the visual effects produced by the first film. Tony Stark is back, this time as the most popular figure in the world because he is the IRON MAN. After the dramatic revealing of his secret identity, Tony Stark pledges to achieve universal peace. But all superheroes cannot carry out their 'good job' so easily; there are always obstacles in the form of villains. So does iron man, who faces hostility in every clichéd way possible. Very much like Spiderman 3 , Iron man 2 fails to impress due to two reasons. Robert Downey Jr plays very redundantly throughout without experimenting and Gwyneth Paltrow plays her role like a zombie. I doubt whether Don Cheadle actually had any idea about his role in the movie because he moves back and forth with the nature of his character. Scarlett Johansson looks stunning but again lacks a well defined role. The only relief in terms of acting was Mickey Rourke who did justice to his role though not given much screen space. So in first case the lack of character definition provided the major flaw to the movie. If the actors had done a good job, I wouldn't have cared much about the complex storyline. For one thing, the sequences are so startling that one thing struck me immediately; the filmmakers have lost all respect for the world. So here, the second factor too comes to effect where the director has complicated the theme with less of logic and more of mindless destruction and in a way terrorism too. So if you are ready for a thrilling and chilling ride with lot of explosions, firing and iron man vs. iron man and if you think the story accounts to nothing, then iron man 2 is the one for you.",6

"After seeing what are arguably two of the best films in cinematic history in Inception and The Dark Knight I had very high hopes for this film. I have followed the Batman films and the TV shows from an early age and I think that Christopher Nolan is a brilliant director, however after paying through the nose to see this conclusion to his trilogy on the opening day I felt he could have done so much more with this film.

I'll start with the good things about this film.

1) Anne Hathaway was surprisingly very good in the film. She offered something new and fresh not seen before and the on screen chemistry with Bale was exceptional. Her character is also a lot more intriguing than that of Tom Hardy's Bane whose muffled, almost in inaudible voice nearly ruins the film by itself.

2) John Blake played by JGL is a strong addition to the cast and his performance as Blake does not go unnoticed.

3) The production values and cinematography are second to none and that is to be expected from a Nolan film.

4) Michael Caine is nothing short of brilliant. He offers raw emotion and substance.Two things which are otherwise lacking in the film.

And sadly that is about all the plus points from this clunky, pretentious, overlong mess of a film. I have the feeling that Nolan's heart just wasn't in this one unlike its predecessors. The script is poor, the pacing is terrible, Tom Hardy is completely wasted in his role and worst of all it doesn't feel like a Batman film. There is no tension or suspense and the story lacks flow and direction. The film offers short glimpses of excellence such as the chase scene between batman and the police and the scene between Alfred and Bruce where Alfred tries desperately to try and convince Bruce to hang up his cape for good. The second fight scene between Batman and Bane is also pretty entertaining as is the last ten minutes. But for a film that clocks in at nearly three hours these scenes are not enough to save it.

Another annoying thing about the film is the action or lack of. Most of the action scenes are given away in the trailers and none of which are that original apart from the scene at the start. Big explosions and lots of guns and that's about it. Batman doesn't even get that much screen time. But the most disappointing thing is the weak script and cheesy dialogue both of which are not something that Nolan usually gives us. Way too many things going on and every character for some reason feels the need to give their own Harvey Dent style declaration along the lines of ''you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain''.

It is so disappointing for me to be writing a bad review for this film and as for everyone saying it's brilliant or it's just as good as the others they are simply in denial or they're flat out lying. It is neither terrible or brilliant. I will of course buy it when it comes out on DVD as it is a good film and deserves a 7 out of 10 and should be viewed more than once and I expect my mind to wander on second viewing as some parts are boring. Just don't go into this movie with high hopes or expecting to see a masterpiece because it simply isn't.

Massive Disappointment.",6
"Let's call this ehm...Hellboy no no ! Hellgirl, that's it...",5
"From beginning to end is full of action packed and great camera shots of fights. Adding Robert Redford to the movie as a stunning villain, was a smart move, as he takes the whole movie to a different point from an actors performance point of view. He plays a smart and frightening role in a brilliant way.

Even if some of the characters miss the depth of the likes of Dark Knight it is still a brilliant movie that you should give a try.

Now and since the movie is a hit worldwide, surpassing the first one in gross revenues and setting a new April record lets hope they keep the good work with the (hinted) upcoming Avengers movie and put both Anthony Russo, Joe Russo and Joss Whedon as consultants.",10

"Score 3/10 It is hard to believe that it is from the same director Mr Neeraj Pandey, who had delivered a master piece, as movie ""A Wednesday"". Very often creative person just got stuck to a particular idea while knowing that it is not coming out as a good script. I think it is the same case. The subject was very clear by promo and trailer. You can say they revealed the suspense before releasing the movie. The fake CBI issue is the main subject. It is well known. I was expecting some unusual and interesting presentation of this interesting subject but got disappointed. They only shown the same old thing which had been exposed by media so many times. Director Mr. Neeraj Pathak just fails to impress this time. Screenplay does not provide any excitement. Dialogues are also not impressive. Performance wise Manoj Bajpai and Anupam Kher are superb. Akshay Kumar is OK. Nothing to say about main female lead. Music and lyrics are also not impressive. They served very ordinary stuff while the promise was for something special. It fails to carry director's masterstroke legacy.",3
"Spider-Man 2 (2004) is Sam Raimi's the best spectacular sequel Marvel's Action superhero film ever and It is Way Better Than the First! I am sorry but I think Spider-Man 2 is way better Than The Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2.

It may take a while for the action to start up in Spidey 2, but when it does it's great. This sequel deals on the inner turmoil our protagonist must face not only as Spider-Man, but as an adult living in the real world -- a nice contrast by the writer. The new villain, Doc Oc, is way better than The Green Goblin could ever hope to achieve. He's a struggling soul just as Spidey, only his has been focused on better achieving what he failed to do, as is Spidey -- saving the world after the death of his uncle. The script here is great. The acting is once again, very well done -- Simmon's character is wonderful. The music is basically the same from the first, a misstep by the composer Danny Elfman. Overall, this is a great sequel and could very well exist had the first not been made.

Spider-Man (2002) was fun. I mean really, really fun. However, it was weighed down by the prospect that it took itself too seriously. Spider-Man 2 takes all the fun of Spider-Man and throws away the cheese. That is not to say that those shallow moments are entirely gone, but at least Spider-Man 2 knows exactly what kind of movie it is. Spider-Man 2 starts out a lot slower than Spider-Man does, but when the ball gets rolling, man is it worth the wait! The characters are more developed, the action is so poetic it's almost like watching a synchronized dance, and the story contains more drama and humor. Real humor. The funny moments here are less laughable and more funny, let's just say. Also, where Spider-Man contained some, well, ""objectionable"" content, Spider-Man 2 is surprisingly chaste. Here is one of those rare occasions where the sequel outdoes the original in every aspect. Swing us away, Spidey! CONTENT: Much stylized action violence; mild language; a few low tops. WHO: Teens and up.

Now this is what a superhero movie should be. ""Spider-Man 2"" believes in its story in the same way serious comic readers believe, when the adventures on the page express their own dreams and wishes. It's not camp and it's not nostalgia, it's not wall-to-wall special effects and it's not pickled in angst. It's simply and poignantly a realization that being Spider-Man is a burden that Peter Parker is not entirely willing to bear.

I wish more people could see and appreciate the heart displayed in Spider-Man 2. I love this film I love It the most so much because his life was really hard and because Doc Ock gosh I love him. The film it self more focus on a characters and the same time does the story. The film is struggles more Peter's life and what it Is life as Spider-Man and life as Peter Parker. His life is such a stress and he is trying everything, he even get's to stressful so he loses his powers. The film wasn't focusing only on Peter's life It was also focusing on Mary Jane, Harry Osborn and Dr. Otto Octavius. I love Spider-Man 1 & 2 tough Spider-Man (2002) has flaws and it isn't portrayed by comic books. That is why I prefer The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) over Spider-Man (2002)even tough I do Like the first film.

""I believe there's a hero in all of us.""

In Spider-Man 2, the latest installment in the blockbuster Spider-Man series, based on the classic Marvel Comics hero, Tobey Maguire returns as the mild-mannered Peter Parker, who is juggling the delicate balance of his dual life as college student and a superhuman crime fighter. Peter's life becomes even more complicated when he confronts a new nemesis, the brilliant Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina) who has been reincarnated as the maniacal and multi-tentacled ""Doc Ock."" When Doc Ock kidnaps MJ (Kirsten Dunst), Spider-Man must swing back into action as the adventure reaches new heights of unprecedented excitement.

The movie demonstrates what's wrong with a lot of other superhero epics: They focus on the superpowers, and short-change the humans behind them.""Spider-Man 2"" is the best superhero movie since the modern genre was launched with ""Superman"" (1978). It succeeds by being true to the insight that allowed Marvel Comics to upturn decades of comic-book tradition: Readers could identify more completely with heroes like themselves than with remote godlike paragons. Peter Parker was an insecure high school student, in grade trouble, inarticulate in love, unready to assume the responsibilities that came with his unexpected superpowers. It wasn't that Spider-Man could swing from skyscrapers that won over his readers; it was that he fretted about personal problems in the thought balloons above his Spidey face mask.

Spider-Man 2 is a 2004 American superhero film directed by Sam Raimi and written by Alvin Sargent from a story by Alfred Gough, Miles Millar, and Michael Chabon. The sequel to the 2002 film Spider-Man, it is the second film in Raimi's Spider-Man film trilogy based on the fictional Marvel Comics character of the same name. Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, and James Franco reprise their respective roles as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Mary Jane Watson, and Harry Osborn.

I love this film and It kicks Ass!

"Movie is terrible. I can say many reasons. I read almost all the Symbiote comics about Carnage,Venom and other symbiote characters. And this is seriously not Venom. Venom is not jocular character. Carnage is the jocular character but mainly he doing psychopath jokes. And in this movie Venom is boring and doing too much joke.. I seriously suprised and said ''What the hell is this?'' First of all movie starts too quickly. Everything happens too quickly and skipping everything too fast. Last battle was a joke. I don't know why people like it. They was just dancing and skipping everything. There is no detail. Riot's death is the biggest joke. I don't like it. I don't care anyone say. Mostly kids like the movie. This is not Venom.",3
"1st series 8/10 Superb 80s feel Just a great series.. acting isn't bad at all. The chemistry between characters is great.

Series 2 Slightly different I'll give it 5/10 Did seem to fall compared to The first series.. But not unwatchable.",8
"Farcical slapstick humour. I really can't comprehend why such nonsense is rated so highly. It isn't even eye candy, let alone brain fodder. Simply annoying and inane.",1
"Many people won't agree with me, but I feel like this didn't satisfy me. I have really high demands on every thing, it must be just perfect. It will look like I'm just criticizing (and it's true), but other things that I didn't mention were alright. I've read books and played third game. Adaptation: Every adaptation of books is now compared to GoT, which is the best adaptation, so I will use it to describe Witcher. The glory of GoT (I mean specifically TV show) belongs to GRRM. TV show was great until the writers were out of source, which means why do show ended how it ended. Here you are at the beginning, so follow books. Each tale could take one whole episode, when it would be adopted correctly, instead of this mixed something... Story: As I mentioned the storytelling wasn't good. I like the way of books, where Ciri's story was barely mentioned. There would be plenty of time to get to know her better. On the other hand I understand (and I may say I'm glad), that story of Yennefer is involved, it describes mages more for people, who haven't read books. Tales which were shown weren't really good written, there weren't many dialogues to make a bond with some characters, mainly Yarpen Zigrin for me. In first serie they were just repeating two things and these were destiny and babies. For new people in Witcher franchise it must be hard to orient in a world. Actors and acting, something about characters: Geralt (and Henry Cavill) was truly the best part of show for now, even though he had lower time on a screen than he should have. I never had a problem with his figure, cause it looks more believable for me. Anya Chalotra isn't Yennefer for me and that never changes. Other mages are the same, only Tissaia and Sabrina are acceptable. Dandelion was right one, but I'm missing one tale about him and his affairs if I recall correctly. Placing black actors on a place of white is really bad joke and one of the big problems this show will have. Production: Best fencing I've ever seen, but just in Henry's presentation. I don't have a problem with Nilfgaardian armour, but my sense for clothing is really bad. Cahir's helmet is the only problem, his helmet is quite unique and important to the story. In the end I would expect more from some creatures.",3
"While watching the Matrix an image suddenly came to my mind. I pictured a man, late 50's wearing a smart suit & puffing on a big fat cigar. He sits at the end of a table addressing a number of similar persons who all listen tentatively to every word which the man says. The man takes a big puff on his cigar & leans forward & says ""what we need is something for the kids"".

Watching the Matrix you suddenly realise that it is probably the most precisely made film since the Studio System was in force, every aspect is made to appeal to a young (15-30 yr old) audience, & market forces have been well taken into account. The lighting is neo-gothic similar to that found in Seven & The Crow, The camerawork is so John Woo I'm surprised he did'nt sue for plagerism. & it's a story about the internet, & hey, the kids 'dig' the internet, don't they? add a metal/big beat soundtrack & hey presto, a film the kids will love

The Directors have in fact taken so much time over including enough cool effects (as well as advertising Nokia phones) that they have seemed to have not worried themselves over simple features such as plot, amount of holes left in it are worrying, for instance why are the rebels (I use Rebels in want of a better word) stationed in a space ship? why do we never see Zion? & also how come they can defy gravity yet they are unable to jump off buildings/fly etc etc?

The acting is also bottom rate, in fact it seems that the Directors realised that Keanu can't act, so did.nt bother asking him to. However Laurence Fishburn & Hugo Weaving are both good actors yet little is asked of them. Carrie-Ann Moss as Trinity is poor, although her charcter is supposed to be deeply in love with Neo (played by Reeves, also do you notice Neo, anagram for....I won't spoil it for those who have'nt seen the film yet) the lack of chemistry between the two characters is so un-reveling that the situation has to be spelt out by a third party. However it should be acted that the Script is one of the worst I've seen, full of the Cliches & Remarks which movie executives think are cool & funny yet often fall flat, indeed most of the script is so cringe worthy & predictable that only someone who has'nt seen a Big Budget Shoot-em-up in the last 10 years would be surprised. In fact many people have commented on how the film tries to tackle a new imaginative ide, however all I thought was that it took an idea from 19th century literature in man against Machine & put a few philisophical theories in tow, add technology & hey presto. That's not imagination, that's reading books.

However the film does offer some pleasures, for instance the Kung Fu sequence between Neo & Morphius (Fishburn) is the most camp fight sequence since Jacky Chan became a star although campness is'nt something I think the Directors aimed for, Indeed the clothes (lots of leather) is realitively camp once again yet you get the feeling that the Directors thought that their dress sense was 'cool'. However, apart from this, the film falls apart falls apart, Indeed some of it seems too long, with the fight sequences & gun battles often being too long, in fact over emphasise in a Tarantinoloveofgunsandshootingthingsisreallycool way. In fact the only thing that amazed me about the sequences was how it was shot, the amount of flying debris must have injured two or three cameramen in the process.

On the whole The Matrix is dumb, unimaginative, & poorly made & shows why Hollywood has suffered against an independent film industry able to produce much better & imaginative films than Hollywood. Seven & The Usual Suspects are far better films & even though the love affair with guns is similar to John Woo, at least his films (at least earlier films) had a bit of characterisation, Indeed, it seems that the directors believe that the main appeal of Tarantino lies in the gun fights, not in the far better developed realtionships between the characters which I find interesting. The Matrix, what a Turkey, makes Godzilla look a not bad film",2
"While ""Spider-Man"" set records with its Platinum performance, ""Spider-Man 2"" will beat itself out and go… diamond (I suppose that comes after platinum). There is one reason why this franchise has fared better than other comic-book movies: it stays true to the original. While the X-Men, Batman, and other comics may have struck silver or gold, none were as ever accurate as Spidey - and its numbers prove it.

Sure, Spider-Man being more well known than a lot of Marvel characters helps, but that's not an excuse when compared to the likes of Batman and Superman, who are both just as equally if not better known. Too many directors abuse poetic license, often totally warping a character, making a plot campy, and/or casting poorly. All deserve some sort of poetic justice for their poetic licensing, except for Sam Raimi, who if time permitted, should do all Marvel pix.

Most of all, though, the thread that really makes ""S2"" a great story is that Peter, as the protagonist, isn't the only one with an epiphany (a climactic self-realization often experienced by main characters). Every single character with more than a few seconds of screentime had his/her own epiphany as well. This harmony of characters is what defines the real world, for we all have our own epiphanies and that is what makes the world go round, regardless of how rusty it can seem.

Down to the nitty gritty…

While some supporting cast found in the comics have been omitted, they have been done so with sound rationality. Gwen Stacy, as a prime example, would have overloaded unfamiliar viewers, so it is understandable that only Mary Jane was used. The best supporting character that WAS used, however, was J. Jonah Jameson, Editor-in-Chief of ""The Daily Bugle."" J.K. Simmons (of ""Law & Order"" fame) was a hilarious turn as the film's comic relief.

The movie begins with painted comic art behind the opening credits, briefly reiterating the gist of the first film, thus not wasting any actual film time reminiscing. Smart move, Raimi.

I won't say much of anything specific so as to not spoil the movie, but I would like to focus on two more items. First of all, the subject of my summary title - Doc Ock. While the Green Goblin was cool in the first, Doc Ock is a more relatable persona and more gripping (pun intended) character in interaction. I've always been a fan of second-tier villains like the Riddler (Batman), Pyro (X-Men), and of course, Doc Ock, so it is great that Raimi has reinvigorated the mad scientist.

My second item is the wide range of fanboy nods, things thrown into the movie that only comic aficionados would recognize. The first had many like the reference to ""SHAZAM,"" but the second had more. Ranging from Dr. Strange to how old ladies treat comics, Spidey 2 has really outdone the nods in movies like ""X-men"" and ""The Hulk.""

My final note is this: GUYS, did you like the rainy alley scene in the first Spidey film? Well, we get another taste of MJ's revealing WET SHIRT in ""2.""",10
Do you like dragons? do you love alien movies? do you like Sigourney Weaver? Do you fall for classic gutter to hero story arc? well we got 3 hours of the most processed and basic trash you can wish for! Avatar. A movie made for the average gullible viewer. Movie you will forget the moment you will stop watching it. Yawn fest for anyone with an active brain. Or 8 stars for a dumb ass like it was aimed at. Script so primitive a 20 min episode of Rick and Morty is more complex then this 3 hour movie,3

"How anyone can like this film is beyond me. Hemsworth is a great actor but there is practically no storyline here, just cut scene after cut scene of Rambo killing. If gratuitous violence is your thing then watch this otherwise look elsewhere for a good action movie.",1
After some rave reviews I sat down to enjoy a cracking true to life WW2 story. Oh how disappointed I was. It is so slow and disjointed and never captured the sheer hell the 1000's of toops must have gone through. However It is saved from a review of 1 by some great Airborne scenes. The old 1950's version starring John Mills is far superior,4
"Inception is a great concept for a film. And the special effects in it are among the best ever created for any film. But special effects alone cannot compensate for weaknesses in a plot or story. And there are several weaknesses in the plot and story. One is the believability that corporations are evil entities striving to achieve world dominance and stealing anything they can from the competition. While this might be true of one or two minor companies, major multinationals could never afford the bad PR associated with such actions; and so it is not within the realm of believability for over 99% of the multinationals out there. DiCaprio is not bad, and the supporting cast gives it the college try, but no cigar from the classic film school. You have to have a believable story to match your great special effects and a good idea.

Who made this list? It has to be strictly for post-2000 babies; people born before 2000 would never include this film in the top 250, much less the top 15 films of all time; that is just ludicrous. Adults appreciate adult films. This is better than Fight Club and Pulp Fiction, at least.",6
"I had heard a LOT about this film, and how people had to watch it several times to fully grasp its complexity. I came to the film with tons of expectations but it was kind of a letdown. Half baked characters, especially the women. I am not qualified to question the science, so not getting into that at all. What I can say is that the motivations of characters are extremely sketchy. Emotions are not Nolan's forte. The scenes in which characters wax poetic about love are just bad.",7

"Who in their right minds could ever consider this to be a decent film? How the hell did Frances McDormand win an Oscar for this movie and how bad were the other nominees in comparison? How the hell did they advertise this junk?

Frances McDormand takes on Peter Falk's role of Lt. Columbo as she tracks down yet another one of the Coen brothers' intellectually-handicapped kidnappers. Experience the oohs and ahhs as you hear Northern Minnesotan accents that were done better on Howie Mandel's kiddie show ""Bobby's World"". Can even the combined forces of William H. Macy and Steve Buscemi can save this film from certain mediocrity? I don't think so.

"We were hooked from the start. It looks like Russia in 1986, and the actors were well chosen. Some scenes are very hard to watch, but that is the reality of what happened. I'm not sensitive, but it got to me. I felt sad, anger, fear, and could not look away.",9
"What a misser... No matter how good and well Hardy acts (and Venom), all the rest sucks. From actors to editing (timing to earlie or to late, FX's are cheaply done (or in the dark or to fast and blurry), graphics are poor and sometimes completely wrong. I know amateurs who do better jobs at this. Still, for some reason (Hardy) it was more then okay to digest.

But the rest of the movie just gets more and more confusing and senseless as it goes on. Not to mention the more adult moments that made me feel uncomfortable sitting with my kids. I struggled through to the end, but it leaves me feeling very disappointed and empty. I found it so daft and dull that it actually depressed me. At over 2 hours long, it felt like an eternity. It's like a psychotic love child of Christopher Nolan and the Watchowski's. And what's with the sausage fingers ? No, this is not for me.",2
Thank you for removing my review . you dd not need to do that,1
"People faulted this film for being good, but not great. What the hell, so will I. Iron Man 2 has all the right ingredients to make a great summer blockbuster superhero film, yet the final product is more of what we already saw, minus the heart.

Iron Man 2 has Tony Stark AKA Iron Man fighting off Ivan Vanko, a man hellbent on revenge, as well as a new arms dealer Justin Hammer. For the sake of cramming more characters in sequels, like all sequels do, we also have Natasha Romanoff/Natalie Rushman, better known as Black Widow.

Black Widow, or the eye candy known as Scar Jo, adds nothing to the film for me. This was one of my worries, too much going on. Iron Man isn't overloaded like X-3 was, but it was getting there. The story is the classic revenge tale, with Mickey Rourke as the villain. A role he was only given because of his recent career revival with The Wrestler. If you watch The Expendables, you'll notice he looks exactly the same as he does here. Almost as if they were shooting next door and he wandered onto the set. Ivan, isn't that memorable as a villain (looks don't count). Rourke tried his best, but there just wasn't much there in the script.

The action set pieces are entertaining enough to appeal to a younger audience. The threat level doesn't feel as big, with the addition of War Machine, again more stuff added, it just felt like we were waiting for Iron Man to succeed. The stakes simply weren't high enough for me to really care this time around.

The party scene with Tony in the Iron Man suit, drunk and shooting off missiles in his house was laughable and was just added to have the two character fight each other. Superhero sequels tend to be a but better (X2, Spiderman 2) but this one just dropped the ball a bit. I don't know if the first one set the bar too high or if the filmmakers were just a bit lazy. Either way, we lost out a bit on this one.",6
"True, dark spy movie, the slow pace submberges the viewer into cold and loneliness of russia (not real russia, this is a fiction movie, not a documentary, ffs) the slow pace reminded me of ""eastern promises"". plus amazing operators work. the one star comments are utterly unjustifiable.",9
"I liked the movie "" Just Go With it "".... but this one is just horrible .. I gave it a 3, didn't want to give it a 1 !!! Not funny and no mystery at all ..",3
"I went to this movie expecting a lot, given both the hype/build up it had received and the absolutely amazing predecessor in Infinity War last year.

What I got however, was more questions than answers. The plot was weak at best and the storytelling was absolutely awful. The pace of storytelling was almost uncomfortable to watch at points. Infinity War very cleverly managed to give some real key characters decent screen time and dialogue, Endgame failed at this, massively. And the evolution of some characters in this film (Thor and Hulk) was laughable. Add o this, the film definitely did NOT need to be 3 hours long. It could quite easily have fitted into a 2-2.5 hour slot quite easily, they definitely hung out the wrong areas of the story for too long and for me personally, focusing on the wrong elements of the story.

I really am disappointed that the culmination of 22 films led to such a disappointing end, especially with the promising lead up Infinity War offered.",3
"Love the action here - close in, steady and continuous photography. Superb. Reminds me of Bourne.

The boy's acting was superb!

However, the motivation of Hemsworth's character to save a boy linked to his own past, derails when he starts killing anyone in his way, especially everyday policemen/dads/sons/husbands etc.. Sure, go kill as many bad guys as you like to defend one innocent life, but don't expect me to sympathise if you kill innumerous people just doing their job.

Great action, but imbalanced on the above.",6
"I guess as a new take on the franchise this is not a horrible flick.

But it's not reflective of the original classic story.

In this case men develop an alzheimer drug that makes apes intelligent.

It would be a good storyline apart from Planet of the Apes, but if you area fan of the '69 film, it makes no sense.

Why not make a good film that stands on it's own instead of a flick that confuses the original franchise that spanned film,m, TV and freaking cartoons?

Abundant CGI is decent, but very apparent on DVD.

Ceaser BTW get s smart way too fast. And is way too filled with arrogant confusion way too quickly. Just not all that believable.",4
"This movie had no point whatsoever. Such great actors and decent costumes, but no rhyme or reason to any of it",4
"The plot of this film makes absolutely no sense. What do fantastic beasts have to do with Grindelwald and his crimes? Grindelwald literally never encounters a single fantastic beast. They could and perhaps should have just focused more on the aurors, and called the movie ""The Crimes of Grindelwald."" But I guess, seeing as the Fantastic Beasts film did well in the box office, they didn't want to get rid of Newt just yet. But truth is, his character feels lost here, like he doesn't belong in this film. This should have been a battle between the aurors and Dumbledore versus Grindelwald and his followers.

Speaking of Grindelwalds crimes... yawn. So, he has a couple of is followers kill two adults and a child. Okay. That's boring. Not at all the exciting, legendary villain we were hoping for.

The movie is chock-full of characters we barely get to know but are still supposed to care about and feel sad about when bad things happen to them. You can't just throw a bunch of characters in there, give them famous Harry Potter names like Lestrange and expect us to feel for them. That's not how that works.

Jude Law delivers a fine performance but I wish they'd done more with him.

If you'd ask me to explain the plot to you, I'd be done in like two minutes. Almost nothing happens the entire film. It's just people wandering around Paris and talking to each other. The most interesting part of the film are the ten minutes at the beginning at the last half hour. Everything in between is bland.

This is a disappointment to the Harry Potter franchise. Can we start over, please?",6
"Back in 2011 when the epic Harry Potter saga ended I was simultaneously sad and happy; sad because my favorite franchise had ended and happy because it ended in such a beautiful way that tears came down. So you can believe my excitement for this was through the roof, and while I enjoyed Fantastic Beasts I found it to be somewhat overhyped. By no means is the film bad per sa, but the film lacks the magic that the original Harry Potter films had.

First off, the acting here is spectacular. It's easily the best part of the film as were introduced into one of the finest creations of J.K. Rowling's mind, Newt Scamander. Eddie Redmayne is excellent and charismatic as the titular character is awesome to watch and he truly gives off this weird and somewhat socially awkward fella who needs his creatures. Katherine Waterston is very groovy (see what I did there) and plays along side Redmayne very well. The characters of Queenie and Kowalski are both good comedic reliefs and have great chemistry, not only with each other, but the entire cast.

Directed by David Yates, he once again finds himself in the ""Wizarding World"" and while he does a fine job I would've liked to see someone new take their hand in this franchise. I do have to say that the score in the film brings me back to the early Potter films so bravo to the team for that. While the film itself looks good and has some great effects it suffered from an overwhelming and abundance of CGI. I was really really hoping it wouldn't be, but the sad truth is the CGI takes away from the beauty of some scenes and takes you out of the film as a whole completely.

My real complaints of the film come from its villains. Colin Farrell is severely underused which is a shame as he is so good in the film andAlso Ezra Miller's performance is pretty bad. I get what they were going for but in the end it didn't work at all. The film may have its ups and downs, but overall Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a wonderful expansion of J.K. Rowling's ""Wizarding World"" that strives off its fun and light-heartedness and it's great performances.",7
"Let me summarize the story for you.

""What?"" ""Ok."" ""Are you ok?"" ""I don't know."" ""Thanks."" ""Yeah."" ""Right."" *awkward silence* Repeat.

But their attempt of something different was decent and the aesthetic nice.",7
"Score: 68/100 (6/10)

I'll preface by saying two things. First, I'm not familiar with the comics, so this review is based solely on the movie. Second, the first one was way better in my opinion. I gave it a 9/10.

The visuals were pretty good in the whole of things. I didn't really see anything that made me cringe at the CGI. It was fluid throughout. The biggest thing I look for in CGI are vehicles and buildings and I was pleased how both looked. Everything felt real, especially, when they were getting destroyed.

The fight scenes were both cool and fun to watch, as well as a bit messy. While it wasn't difficult to understand, or follow, some of the scenes seemed to be cluttered with a lot of stuff. This made the overall enjoyment to be had, hard.

As with the first film I enjoyed the relationship between Eddy and Venom, however, the comedy between the two felt a little to forced. Like life had actually gotten to them and they were tired of each other's BS.

The other titular character, Carnage, was cool to see. Somehow he felt under utilized and kind of wasted in this film considering it was supposed to be about him. I didn't end up liking Woody Harrelson as the Carnage character, but I did enjoy him as the psychopathic killer. It felt like a classic Woody being Woody.

As with the fight scenes the story felt messy too. At times I felt like there was a weird jump in sequences or the timing of why we were brought to a certain place. It just didn't sit right with me.

Overall, not a so bad movie. It didn't leave me as moved or happy as the first film. The relationships felt wasted and droll. Visually stunning, but sequentially a little messy. You may or may not be pleased with how it turned out, but I will say it was a least worth the trip to the theatres.

That's all for now, I hope you enjoy the show!",6
"Pros: 1. The CGI looks good which helps to prevent Carnage (Woody Harrelson) and Venom (Tom Hardy) from becoming too cartoonish.

2. Both Tom Hardy and Woody Harrelson provide as good as a performance as they can.

3. There is fantastic chemistry between Woody Harrelson and Tom Hardy, which makes it a shame that there aren't more scenes with them two in.

Cons: 1. The pacing is horribly rushed, as story-lines and conflicts are introduced and then resolved almost instantly.

2. The character conflicts are exceedingly flimsy and thus uninteresting, for example that between Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) and Anne Weying (Michelle Williams) wherein they fall out of an engagement (which lasts about a minute), but in the next scene they have together they're friends again.

3. The writing is incredibly lazy and it's clear that not much thought went into it. An example of this would be when Venom and Eddie Brock rally to defeat Carnage and Cletus Kasady (Woody Harrelson) by uttering the cliche that they're stronger together than apart (even though their fallout was violent and Eddie Brock forces Venom to fundamentally change his diet, whilst claiming that Carnage and Cletus Kasady aren't symbiotic even though the inverse is true for them.

4. There are too many forced conflicts which take screen-time away from the more interesting conflicts and story-lines.

5. The comedy is hit and miss, but mostly miss as it felt that it was largely for immature audiences.

6. Considering that this movie was about Venom and Carnage (two ravenous man-eaters), in addition to a prolific serial killer featuring and child abuse being brought up, this movie should have aimed for an R-rating but instead it played it safe and thus was more boring than it should have been.

7. The movie was a little tonally all over-the-place as it kept introducing humour into the serious moments which cheapened said serious moments immensely.

8. Despite there being few relevant characters to the story, most of them are still given barely anything to do.",3
A movie where Netflix wondered how many people Chris Hemsworth could kill in two hours. The plot is nonexistent and the non stop action gets pretty boring after the first hour.,4
"The length of the movie increased with long talks, which makes almost no contribution to the plot or highlight heroes characters. Instead of Marvel usual excitement feeling (although I am not big fan of comics) you get the feeling was it worth to spend 3h. If the movie would be brutally cut to 1.5 it would be good end product by Marvel.",3
One of the greatest film in Indian cinema ahead of it's time.,10
"Originally heard that the runtime for this movie was slated at nearly three hours. This version felt rushed, confusing, and the dialogue was just terrible.

Positives: Sweet action scenes, fan pleasing cameos, new character introduction, horror elements executed very well

Negatives: basically everything else.

Wait to stream on Disney Plus - not worth the money and effort to see in theaters.",4
"I was actually looking forward to watching this show, but sadly Nicole Kidman has reached a point with interference to her natural facial expressions that I couldn't help to be distracted from the storyline. I don't believe she has the range to play any character other than Nicole Kidman. The show itself is visually stunning, and the other actors are all quite strong in their roles. The storyline so far is interesting, but once again, Kidman's lack of acting ability and range, in my opinion, diminishes the show to being only worthy of a three star rating. I don't believe I will waste my time watching more than the first episodes.

Only for diehard fans.",3
"I had a fear that maybe this season will possibly go wrong. Even GoT went mad in the latest and final season. So my expectations for this season was low but still, I waited a long time for it to release. Season 3 offers what exactly what the first two seasons offer. It is funny, emotional and nostalgic. The performances were superb and the making was no less than extraordinary. I had many favourite moments from this season but my most favourite thing was the Steve-Robin story arc. It was so good. This season was also unpredictable at times. Looking forward for season 4 as I'm pretty sure it will not disappoint.",9
"Having read the books and played the games I was happy to hear of this show and Henry as Geralt alongside Freya as Ciri is a great choice.

But mostly I came here to say that S2 feels like what a friend of mine told me about his experience with S1, that he didn't understand the flashback scenes and was confused about the whole Ciri child of surprise element having not read or played the games which seemed a common theme and understandable I'd probably been confused as well if I hadn't already known witcher lore.

But in S2 I feel confused not because of the flashback time jumps which seem ditched in favor of a more linear story but because the pacing and characters besides Ciri and Geralt are given new paths to link up with the main plot but they just aren't written as well and it just feels like season 2 is a B-side of Season 1, it feels like they cut writers and put all production efforts into getting you hooked in the first season so they can milk it.",7
"Season 1 set the tone brilliantly, great casting, effects, actions, dialogue etc I just reckon that it may have been really confusing for someone that hasn't read the books or played the games, I would rate it 8 or 9 out of ten.

Season 2 was just ok, some dialogues seemed lazy and Ciri's scenes felt a bit eye rolling teenager show that might as well have been in twilight, I would rate the first episodes as 5, improving a bit towards the end, getting to an average of 6 stars.

That being said, I really like the show and hope for a stronger season 3.",7
"""Jojo Rabbit"" is one film that as you watch you enjoy the fun and the laughs as you see the world thru the eyes of a young man during war time in Germany. The themes of love, hate, and murder all blend with fantasy and joy.

Roman Griffin Davis is Jojo a little boy who wants to train to be in Hitler's army only he already has the evil ruler as his imaginary friend. Things then become turned upside down when his finds and his mother(Scarlett Johansson) reveals that she is keeping a young Jewish girl hidden upstairs! It's like it's a whole new world. Only the film explores tolerance, pain, and love in a new light.

Overall good comedy like drama that's fun with change and human feel proving that all people deep down are just alike.",6
"Binged watched over a few weeks. Story plots were formula for each season, acting was not great, which probably was the director's fault as some of these actors have done much better. There were quite a few goofs within the show but a weekly series must be hard to produce.

All in all an enjoyable show to watch.",9
"Was this movie a biography of Spielberg's mum? I was really perplexed by the time I'd finished this movie. I had read that it was a masterpiece. I was mildly entertained throughout the movie, but try as I will I just cannot see what the point of the movie was, except to make another movie, or why anyone would call it a masterpiece? There was not a single line of dialogue that jumped out at me or threw me into a 'lost in thought' moment as to it's meaning. If this was Spielberg's life then I should make a movie about mine, because a lot more strange and dramatic things happened in my life than his. Why did he even make this? It was entertaining because it was quirky, the acting was good and the sets were spot on. But there is no real story. It doesn't give any real insight. It's almost like he made it to cover his tracks so nobody will ever really know how he became what he is. It really doesn't tell you anything real. In fact that is the entire problem with this movie: it's lack of meaning. I can see echoes of what may have been the reality behind it. But I cannot believe this is how it really was. It's seems to me the big thing in his life was that he makes great movies, not that his own personal life was any different from a billion other people.",6
"Christopher Nolan is, without a doubt, one of the most talented directors going around. So where is he here? Nolan's movies are typically trim, taut, tense, somewhat complex, and totally terrific. Unfortunately, Dunkirk meanders through its 107min and doesn't come close to telling a story that is in the least bit engaging.

The film completely lacks the gritty realism of Band of Brothers, can't hold a candle to the feelgood inspiration of the 1958 film, and makes no real attempt at providing historical insight. That leaves us with a pretty pedestrian WWII flick that doesn't do much at all that is Nolan-style out of the ordinary.

For a man who has made a somewhat spectacular career out of obsession and puzzles, the only puzzle here is where is the genius?",6
"Well Shot. However, too long, with no meat in the script.

A short story extended to, too many episodes.

Very repetitive. Each episode is the same, with Protagonist drinking and chess montage shots.

Excessive sprinkling of Netflix wokism further increases the length.

Our collective standards have dropped that we find above average content to be exceptional.

Band of Brothers is an example of how a mini series should be like. Engaging, character development and the story moving forward.

The Queens Gambit is unfortunatelt like a pretty repetitive Montage. Kind of like sitting in a cafe, and watching life go by.",6
"This movie was in my opinion was bizarre, but very entertaining. I enjoyed it. I originally went in thinking it was going to be kind of like ""Clue"", where you had to guess who the killer was. Like who, what, where, when and why, but I was wrong. While watching I did think certain characters could be suspicious. Still enjoying even thought it ended up not being the type of movie I thought it was. All the acting was phenomenal. Christian Bale's facial expressions throughout the movie was classic. I definitely laughed a few times at his facial expressions alone. I was pretty bummed Taylor Swift wasn't in the movie long. I definitely think her character needed more scenes to tie the story together a little bit better. The story did jump around a few times and I felt like there was missing pieces to tie the story together better. It's one of those movies where I will definitely watch it again so I can catch things I might of not noticed the first time around. I highly recommend giving this movie a try at least once. It is entertaining.",10
"Really I didn't expect they can make it that bad, I was waiting for this show expecting the show maker learned from the big disappointment "" at least mine"" of GOT Se8.

But I am so disappointed again so boring and bad casting with weak story almost have nothing to tell.

The over rated made me confused I thought maybe be I miss something so I waited episode and another.. ok one more.. but it's not even close to be promising.. may be they can do better next seasons or for another GOT based show but I am sure that this season have nothing to say more it is already dead.. I will not continue with this show.",1
"Its really concerning the mount of positive Reviews this Movie got, as it is for all Marvel so called Movies. Even frighning those Reviews stating that this Movie has a Story ... well....

it doesn't, not really.

The Story: They just pretended to five an James Bond/Conspircary like Story but it was far of, with nonsense logical hoops but all that was more like a sidekick. This Movie don't know what it wants to be so you get from everything a little and endup with a mix of something thats nothing.

The Action: is as usual nonsense but at least a bit less as we are used to from Marvel and there where fine funny details in it. But at the end overdoing like Marvel likes todo - well its a comic...

The Acting: Well, there was no real room for such. Specially Robert Redford had almost no lines and his scenes often didn't make any sense. At the end we have a high level cast but wasted their potential.

Bottom Line just another average Marvel crap flooding the cinemas these days, questionable WHY people and critics are so over the top. Only because it became so normal to have no story at all doenst make this script any better. Pretending to have a story doenst make one.",1
Shahrukh Khan excellent performance awesome movie fan,9
"Bob, screen writer at Marvel, talking to Joe, another writer.

Bob: ""Wait, people are still paying to watch our movies?""

Joe: ""Yeah, I know, right!? I thought the movies would run out of steam ages ago XD""

Bob: ""Same. But no, even though we've just been messing about with the scripts and making them weirder and spending less time on them, people still pay for them""

Joe: ""Yeah. The last script I wrote I finished in like two days. All you need is a few male characters, some one liners, plenty of fighting scenes and a woman that needs saving.""

Bob: ""Oh, and make the antagonist a woman too, but let her main motivation be something like her husband or children!""

Please, Marvel, put more time and love into your movies. Stop putting together weirdly cut scenes with wooden sounding dialogues. Also, please work on your character portrayals.",3

"Neeraj Pandey's Special 26 is an amazing drama thriller film which challenge the classic genre movies to be the part of it.

The main key points to watch this movie are: 1. Script: Brilliant and Intelligent script by Neeraj Pandey after A Wednesday is the key point of the movie.

2. Direction: Again, Excellent and Perfect direction by Neeraj Pandey has made it watchable again and again and again..............................

3. Acting: Akshay Kumar, Manoj Bajpayee, jimmy sheirgill and Anupam Kher with a very large number of supporting casts has done it!!!!!!

4.Cinematography & Background score: Remember, It is a PERIOD film. so the role of Cinematographer is very important to feel the audience that it actually happens in 1987. And the Background score is another key point to the film which feels the thrill that what is going.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TO ANY HUMAN BEING AROUND THE WORLD",10
This movies is literally a bad trip. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless I meant ill will to them lol. Maybe a bad prank? Waste of my rental fee.,2
"Last week, I had seen ""The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King"" and I feel it is one of the best movies ever made, especially in these hard to entertain folks at the movies for $10 a seat times. I couldn't understand how some, as minority as their voices were, could not like that film.

That was until I decided to sit down and write how I feel about this film.

In the 9 years since it has come out, I have attempted to watch it 12 times. Three of those times, I slept through it. I finally took some extra caffine Coke and gave it a twirl -- twice. Sorry, I just didn't warm up to this film. Robbins and Freeman's acting was good, but I guess the story wasn't original -- or surprising to me. I just didn't care about these guys, nor anyone else. It's prison. The guilty as well as the innocent are there -- I get that concept. Sometimes you're released after serving time, sometimes you're not. You make friends...fine. I dunno, kinda reminds me of 4 years of High School or college I guess. I just don't care about those folks no matter what we all did together once I got out, which is why I just didn't care about these and wondered why they should. Move on. Thanks for sharing. Snooze.

First I thought, I might not be a big ""prison"" entertainment fan, but then I remembered one of my favorite films is ""Birdman of Alcatraz"" (which I thought much from this film owes homage to), I really fell in love with ""The Green Mile"" (which was more on King's level than this) and I actually sat through a few seasons of HBO's ""Oz"" which was gritty and scary, to say the least. I give everything a chance, in fact -- several chances. But sometimes not all things appeal to all people. For me, this was one of them. (If you're wondering, ""Reservoir Dogs"" is another.)

The point is...as I was going to write awful things to those few folks who didn't like ""The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King"", I find myself here at ""The Shawshank Redemption"", and now I am able to stand where they were -- for a moment -- in the minority.

All things are not wonderful to all people.

And that's....a good thing.",3
"Why is everyone looking so boring? There's not one good looking character in a franchise that gave us sansa, jon, denaerys, no face man, jaimee, viper... so many of them looked a treat to the eyes. Even the extras in GOT looked better than the leads here.

The acting is substandard. The dragons are reduced to just props. The outfits look more modern than last years fashion and just don't look the part at all.

Most importantly, the plot is wafer thin. Where are the sudden rampant twists that GOT was so famous for?

The set is basically a wall next to a tree, a courtyard shot in ten different angles and a court room that feels like leftovers of the old set.",5
Emotional...I didn't know when did I cried so much after watching a movie.... brilliant acting. N Charlie was the true soul of the film. Best best best movie.,10
"My apologies, I honestly am a HUGE fan of Guillermo Del Toro, I just found this movie to be very one sided. I loved the fact that she had someone to connect with, I just found that all the other characters were basically conversating to themselves. luckily, she knows sign language which was a big help to communication, I just think that they could have done a little bit better with their connections",5
"Imagine the movie 'Troy' with even better action sequences! But this time the set is wrong, the costumes are wrong, their accent is wrong and without a solid plot! Would you like that?

Those who are rating this 7,8,9 & even 10! For what? Just for good action? 🙄",2
"This movie fills you with energy and makes you proud to be an Indian. The real dramatization of Armed forces with no useless drama, script play, scenes put up.

This is definite watch for any Indian who worries about our Armed forces. Proud to be an Indian and to be part of Indian armed forces.",10
"I watched this for the second time, having been a little disappointed first time around, and perhaps didn't have the best of days. My opinion, second time round, hasn't changed a great deal, the visuals and special effects are terrific, I just found the plot and storyline a little thin.

I would say it helps if you're a huge fan of Harry Potter and JK Rowling's works, you may be a bit more forgiving, I found it a little bit frustrating. Definitely some good elements, but I'm not sure the elaborate visuals were enough to keep attention alone. It was a little dull in parts.

I must pay huge credit to Eddie Redmayne, I thought he was great as the lead character, I'm so used to seeing him in serious dramas, it was nice to see him doing something different, he was great.

They certainly put together an awesome cast for this one, Gemma Chan, Colin Farrell, John Voight, and of course the excellent Samantha Morton.

6/10.",6
"Not sure why this movie has such a high score story was mediocre, ending was completely dissatisfying and acting by most characters was wooden and emotionless

Daniel Craig's makes his character Benoit Blanc entertaining enough to watch for a short time, but due to poor writing and the characters lack of personality we are never truly rooting for him.

He presents as a shoddy watered down version of Hercule Poirot - clearly the source of inspiration for this detective.

Even more surprised by how lackluster Edward Norton's acting in this movie is, given his acting chops.

Reading the reviews raving about this movie makes me very sad, as I feel there is no motivation to make better sequels.",6
"It added nothing and was predictable. It had no twists, had to much time outside the video game and did not even have that good acting. The best part of this movie was only a couple of times in the game.",5
"""The Godfather"" is simply wonderful, and ""the Godfather - part II"" couldn't be less good! It's the best sequel ever made.

It's wonderful to see 2 great actors as Al Pacino and DeNiro: I don't know who could be the best in this film, both are fantastic!",10
"It's just as stupid as the first movie, but this time around it's always aware of that fact. It NEVER takes itself too seriously. This is a sequel that commits to the humor and tongue-in-cheek tone that should have pervaded the first film. It's absolutely hilarious throughout.

Also among the improvements are...

Improved pacing (the movie FLIES by) Stronger characters (Eddie and Venom actually go through a self-discovery arc together) Better action sequences (they're lit properly and most of the time it's clear what's going on) AND a better villain! Woody Harrelson always gets the right tone and his performance is ferociously entertaining.

Also, Mrs. Chen. I love Mrs. Chen.

As for negatives, the villains have a backstory that could have been interesting but is never explored. Also, there are several plot elements introduced at the end that really don't make sense and are ever explained. But none of them were particular important enough to kill my enjoyment of the movie.

Lastly, the soft PG-13 rating kills the action. It's sometimes unclear who dies because they always cut away from the gritty parts.

This one is actually pretty good though, overall.",7
"Wow. I am amazed at how good this show is. The anime-style look and feel of it make it a warm addition to nick's mostly dull lineup. Don't get me wrong, nick has some good animated shows, like Spongebob, Fairly Oddparents, Danny Phantom is one of my favorites. I think that it is good that they have a program with this kind of look that isn't from an established Nickelodeon company (like frederator for fairly oddparents).

Anyway, I think that Avatar: The Last Airbender is a good program, and is sure to be a hit as long as Nick doesn't screw it up. It seems to have the right amount of humor and action to keep it appealing to me (and I'm 19!). As long as the creators can keep the show original and stop Nick from bastardizing it by saying things like ""its too violent"" or ""You can't have Saaka be sexist."" Stay the course and you'll be gold!",10
"Everything is simply delightful. Cast, direction, ambientation, rhythm, etc.Transforms the grotesque in refinement ( I know, it sounds contradictory, but that´s exactly the point). At the beginning, I was just little bit confused on Mads' interpretation (maybe because of Hopkins). But through a couple of episodes, I realized what he was doing. Everytime he appears on the screen one should expect something extraordinary (even just a micro-gesture).",8
I played the video games which piqued my interest in the show. The story is great but hard to follow. I feel like you need to read the books to grasp what's going on most of the time.,7
"I'm at a loss here to be objective about this movie set in a persons mind simply because as good as it is, I can't get past reality. It begins on a railway platform with commuters waiting to go to work on Valentines Day 2004, which would be nice, except it was a Saturday. While due to circumstances of the plot this could be okay, the problem is that the rest of the film was set in ""real"" places that I know, none of which seemed like the real place. I kept jumping out of the film despite excellent performances, to quibble about the reality of the film. That aside it wasn't a bad movie but more three stars rather than the four that most people are giving it.",6

"What can i say about the movie that has not yet been said in 184 reviews...well.. A LOT! The early critical reviews are so unreasonably favorable it almost seems like a conspiracy to get the people to the theaters . Well its been happening a lot lately , early reviews being so great that people expect all these movies to be potential game changers like 'The Dark Knight'.

Robert Downey Jr. is a great personality , an amazing actor and the only one who breathes any life to this franchise . But a movie depending on an actor's name can never be great. An actor should never be bigger than the movie.NEVER. The movie starts like every superhero movie does , leaving you with plenty of expectations. Apparently , the experience with the wormhole has had an effect on Tony Stark and he begins to suffer from these anxiety attacks and insomnia and becomes a workaholic spending a lot of time in his private 'lab'. Enters new villain.

And then begin a series of action clichés all of them been done already...too many times. There were a couple of comic moments and maybe one hilariously twisted twist.

Other than that no attention is played on the screenplay. Things happen just because they have to in order to get to the (boring) climax.How people get where they do without any hurdles is comical. Why don't these guys learn from Mr. Nolan that the writing, story and screenplay is MORE important than the meaningless special effects.

There is nothing special about this movie but i gave it 3 stars simply because of the cast. Apart from RDj , the star who shines out is Sir Ben Kingsley. He simply steals the show and i wish there were more of him. The guy is a class apart and does a brilliant job as The Mandarin. Oh how i wish there was more of him. Guy Pearce is potentially wasted and so is the talented Rebbeca Hall. Gwyneth Paltrow is the same old and so is Don Cheadle. And yes there was this clichéd cute kid who served no purpose whatsoever except for making the movie more cheesy.

Shane Black's directorial debut Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was an amazingly crafted crime comedy. With Iron Man 3 he disappoints. But the positive that we take away from all this is that IM3 is the last of the installments.

Regardless , like me , people will rush to the theaters to watch this and most of them will be , for the lack of a better word , disappointed ....and let down.

And for all those who wait for the credits to roll so they can watch a post credit scene , let me save you those 10 precious minutes to say that nothing epic happens. Let me rephrase that. Nothing happens.

Looking forward to Man Of Steel now.",3
"OK first off, I am no hater but I feel like I have to point out that this isn't as perfect as people are saying. I'm not saying it's bad, but there are some weak points here.

They should have fleshed out reason why Ironman and Capt'n was fighting. And like they would go so overboard, especially Ironman. In my opinion that does not suit the character as I know him.

They should also had fleshed out more what the governments are trying to do with ""supers"".

Oh and why change Ant-Man's helmet?!

Other than that the film was great! Best Spider-Man to date, made me laugh very hard several times. This is the Spider-Man I know from the comics!

Black Panther looks bad ass and looks bad ass.

Great fight scenes of course. The pacing was good, time went fast ;)

Reason I had to write this is because all this talk about it being the best MCU film, I do not agree. And I read some review before I saw it and it kinda made me expect more.",7
"I'm a movie buff and I've seen seven movies this year and I love musicals. However, for the first time ever, I walked out half way through a movie as did my friend and half the audience. La La Land was the slowest most boring movie I have ever seen. I cannot believe that Emma Stone got an Academy Award for best actress.

It was a shocker! The story would have been best left as a nicely-told romance. Instead, his effort at playing/miming jazz piano was abysmal, their attempt at the Fred-and-Ginger dancing would have been knocked out in the first round of Dancing With The Stars. Emma's up-the-nostril close ups and very very limited singing ability were not attractive. But above all, the songwriting (repetitive uninspiring motifs) and transparent unimaginative scoring was the biggest disappointment. At last there was an opportunity for an original composed and scored movie musical, and they came up with this drivel. I apologise to those who enjoyed it, I'm sure there was merit if you weren't distracted by a critical eye.",1

The only thing offset is It's pace, the frequency of the show is very slow, releasing only one episode a week about 20 minutes long, It takes all the excitement and the thrill away from the show. So please to the committee or the streaming platform please increase the frequency to maintain the fanbase and love for the show. If you're going to watch the show please let the show end and then go and watch, you'll not regret.",9
"Dont go for trailers or teaser of this movie, directly go and watch this masterpiece, believe me you will experience a never watched thrilling story",10
"Overall I really did enjoy this film for the most part. For me it worked best when humour was used and it failed miserably in the ""emotional"" scenes but hey ho it is a cartoon aimed at kids so there is bound to be the odd saccharine moment (or ten) to be expected. Visually it was a bit of an assault on the senses at times but overall worked for the film. My most hated thing about the film was the gawd awful soundtrack. Highlight of the film goes to ""Spider pig""",6

"The first season was pretty good, the theme and message the writers were trying to send were serious, which I appreciate. I decided to give the second season a chance, but was honestly just plain unnecessary. I gave the show the benefit of the doubt and tried the third season. I can't even go through half way because of Ani. I'm sure she is a great actor in real life, but the character is just too annoying and literally has no connection to the previous characters. Poorly written and unnecessary character.",2
"I love QT films so rushed to the cinema to see this, what a disappointment.

I waited and waited for a plot to reveal itself but this movie just kept meandering in different directions revealing new information about characters or potential story lines then they just stopped dead. I felt myself willing the film to end but it just seemed to drag on, offering nothing in the way of a story line or character development. I left the cinema questioning what the point of the movie was, it just seemed to go nowhere.",2
"BHAAG MILKHA BHAAG is riveting to the core and inspiring. No doubts about that. But the disappointment comes to spoil the thrill.

BMB has a runtime of almost 3 hours 15 minutes that is too much. The film's biggest flaw is the editing. The film needs dome serious editing not because its 3 hours but because it gets boring at many places. The training sequence mainly needs trimming. The film is otherwise a good watch because it's brimming with inspiration that young India needs.

The direction is good and RAKYESH creates the retro look well. The music by SHANKAR-EHSAAN-LOY is amazing, especially ZINDA and MERA YAAR.

FARHAN AKHTAR is the soul of the film. He's not actually acting- he's being Milkha, he's living Milkha. SONAM KAPOOR was paid 11 rupees for this film. I say she's over-paid. She is a joke amidst all the stunning performers. The rest of the cast does really well.

Altogether, watch BMB if slow-paced biopics and inspirational pieces suit your taste. I'll go for a 5 for the film and an extra star for Farhan. So 6/10 for this flick that is dedicated but often falls short and bores you.",6
"Captain America: Civil War is a film that has an engaging conflict, strong characters and thrilling action that creates a fresh and exciting addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The film is set in the world of Marvel, an alternate version of Earth that is home to popular heroes such as Iron Man, Hulk, and Spider Man, along with more previously less popular yet beloved personalities like Ant Man and the Guardians of the Galaxy. Civil War, the third film to center on Captain America, also features a multitude of characters from this universe.

After the extreme destruction that the previous films brought, the world's governments have come together to create the ¨Superhero Registration Act.¨, which, as the name suggests, requires all superheroes to register before they can operate. Tony Stark, a.k.a. Iron Man, believing that it will keep people safe, accepts the new law, while Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America refuses, believing that the Avengers should be able to fight off alien and robot armies without government intervention. Soon, the rest of the heroes take sides, and two and a half hours worth of chaos ensue. Due to its large cast, this may seem like an Avengers film, but the focus is kept on the main characters, even when it goes wide. While wasting no time throwing the audience into the action, Civil War slows down to make the conflict feel personal, showing interactions between the characters that emphasize the ¨human¨ in ¨superhuman¨.

But the heroes are still as fantastic as ever. One part that stands out is the airport battle near the end of the movie. It utilizes the formula of special effects, quick humor, and action that Marvel has perfected. Every hero has something to show off, and both sides have tricks up their sleeves. Even though the Earth isn't in peril, the stakes still feel high during this battle.

The film manages to close the curtain on the current heroes for the time being and make room for the newer additions to the universe, like Black Panther, Spider-Man, and Doctor Strange, with an ending that is a cliff-hanger yet also satisfying. If Marvel can keep it up for its upcoming films, Captain America: Civil War is only a small glimpse of the studio's potential.",10

If Justin Bateman was in it longer it would of been better. And the ending sucked. Stephen King you associate with screwed up ending. This one was all happy. I expected an ending like yhe mist instead it was like the lion king. Sucked. Ruined the entire movie,4
"I love this sort of fiction and read fantasy avidly. Saying that, I had not read any of the Witcher books before and I had little expectations.

I watched 3 episodes back to back. This show is highly addictive. Netflix has done themselves proud. Please ignore those who seek to compare it to GOT, it isn't like that at all. We are doing it a disservice by comparing it. GOT was all about politics, this is about fantasy, mages, monsters and the inherent belief in destiny. The fight scenes are epic, the secondary characters are well rounded, and having two strong women as the main in characters? Well what can I say. Also Henry Cavill is perfect in this role.

Like all shows, the first season is laying down the storylines, it can be a bit slow and disjointed but when a show has so many storylines, it's going to be. I can't wait for season 2, and 3 and 4 .... here's hoping!",9
"Very good show, I do recommend thriller-drama seeking viewers to watch.",7

No more words to say after seeing the movie just have implement this kind of thoughts in our life to make it utmost peaceful and Harmonious.,10
Don't waste your time with this. Read the books. Read the books. Read the books.,1
Simple one word movie is must watch. Very good comedy and story telling and writing is very detailed and logical. Full entertainment in all emotions songs are also good. Go and stream you will enjoy definitely wherever you taste of movies.,9
"So , I have been watching the show. I enjoy the great directing and good picture. Also, the premise is a true breath of fresh air. Company of super heroes goes corrupt and basically rules the world. Heroes are the new celebrities and they are as unethical and as uneducated as them.

Now, to the sad part:
The dialogues are terrible. They basically cover the lack of quality with profanity.


Every romance in the movie is cringe-worthy. They reek of self pity and overly expressed emotions that are not genuine. One wants the girl but the girl is basically miserable and rejects him. The other is just hurt and they want to show us that it is a tough nut to crack because she was hurt and will not let anyone near her. Half of the time I can not look at the screen when french and Kimiko interact. Jesus!




Finally, I will have to admit that Homelander is a great villain. Powerful, evil, controlling, with an interesting story. Well done. I am just really disappointed by the dialogue. The plot is fine, but considering that I can hardly watch some of the scenes due to the issues mentioned above, I am not sure if I am keep watching. Anyway, we see.",5
"Too much confusion due to swift cuts between drowning, crashing, and being blown up. No narrative line just two, three, (or are there five?) smaller tales. If you are expecting any historical value, forget it. Dunkirk may catch the mood of the evacuation with its confusion and frantic pace, but there are no explanations of the action. Oh, Branagh— being stoic and heroic—does try a few words about what's going on. Have to give the actors credit for spending a lot of time being very wet. Aerial sequences are good, but I'm soft about Spitfires. Problem is, airplanes keep appearing when you thought they had crashed a couple of scenes before. Have not yet checked on actual air combat at Dieppe, but willing to bet it was not as much as in the flik. Also featured are two very stupid pilots—you're supposed to open your canopy before crashing or ditching—and a Spitfire with engine-out glide characteristics better than a high performance sailplane. An expensive waste of effort.",4
"""Your story may not have such a happy beginning, but that doesn't make you who you are. it is the rest of your story, who you choose to be... So, who are you, Panda?"" Po and his friends are back and this time they must stop an evil peacock from destroying kung-fu. Po must learn to deal with his past in order to once again save China and the art form. To me this movie and ""Cars 2"" both had the same problem. Both were made as kids movies but with adult story lines. The problem with that is the adult aspect of it is too watered down for adults to take and the rest is not childish enough for the kids to really enjoy. I was never a fan of the first one but my kids were. Watching this one we all thought it was kinda boring. If they would have gone for more of Po hurting himself like the first one they would have liked it better. Sequels to kids movies try to actually be different from the first one, and that's why so many fail. Two and eight year olds don't care about stories they want up beat and funny, not a panda figuring out his past. Overall, a kids movie that tried to be to adult and didn't work. I give it a B-...my kids give it a B.",5
"I waited until I had seen this film for the second time, before making a judgement. My initial reaction was correct it is one of the worst films I have ever seen, only Bean was worst. The film fails everywhere apart from the acting. The script, locations some appalling dialogue and dreadful sentimentality, that must be lost on a non-US audience. Absolutely awful 1/10",1
"I'm not a fan of superhero movies or anything superhero, mainly because i'm also not a fan of bad plots and action movies. I decided to check WandaVision anyway because i had read good things about it. The first three episodes were very promising and i really liked the mystery and somehow the sitcom parody setting felt original. I was looking forward to the fourth episode which was supposed to be where the genius plot is revealed. And revealed it was... I even suffered through the fifth episode. The series jumped right in the middle of ""Someone wants to take the enemy by force even though talking would be more effective BUT luckily we have the three out of thousand S. H. A. R. K or S. M. A. R. T or SOMETHING members who think differently and will (probably) save the world in the end"". I mean there's maybe a chance this changes into something good in the end but i'm not able to see it so this review is just for the first five episodes.",5
"B/W effect is beautiful, actors and great, but the whole idea and plot just made me suffer. There wasn't any single moment in the whole movie that I actually cared about how the characters felt, their story, anything. The movie attempts to be so sofisticated, so fancy so pretentious that is almost disturbing when it fails so miserably. I was just wishing it was over. I give them a 3 because visual effects are good and both main actors are actual beasts and some of the most relevant ones in the 21st century. With two regular, not-so-great actors, this movie should be a solid 0.",3
"I loved the cast and the twist in the movie, but it felt like i was watching Murder on the orient express again.",7
"The worst part of this season is Priah Ferguson's scenes. She is so mouthy it is a total turn off. I listen to mouthy obnoxious kids in real life, the last thing I want is to hear them on screen too. Her scenes, and other tangents make the season a tough slog to get through, but overall it's worth it.",9
"Inception was okay steals from Total Recall, The Matrix, James Bond, Paprika and Vanilla Sky.

Christopher Nolan made the story confusing and added as many action scenes as possible so you won't want to work out what was going on. The characters were all one dimensional and I didn't care for any one. If you liked The Matrix then this is for you.

Dream within a dream stuff was all too much for me, the same people running around at the same time very challenging to keep track of the story, the premise was all too confusing for me.

Five minutes in real life is an hour in dream time and a dream within a dream can be a lifetime oh stop! I can take it any more.

I say just forget the story enjoy the set pieces, the special effects and the riveting action. Forget about character development there is none.

Always nice to see Ellen Page she's a great little actress shame she was given nothing to do.

Nothing new about this concept.

I would give it 5 out of ten and that's just because the action was cool.",5
"This show has a great premise, talented people and a good setting. Unfortunately, the writing could have been better. You get the feeling there was a lot of improvisation. A lot of the bits could have been brilliant but went another way. It's still worth watching. I've watched five episodes and will watch the rest.

As far as where to watch it, these are options as of late January 2022. It's a Hulu original series so you could subscribe and watch it there, but they ask for your birthday and gender. Your birthday is sensitive information and none of their business. Once I gave a fake birthday to another nosy company. They reported it to a credit bureau and caused some issues.

Due to this, I tried subscribing to Disney+ because they said they had this series. That was a waste of time. First it was hard to tell which subscriptions had it. I guessed. AFTER they got my money I learned I had to download an app. Then I still had to sign up for Hulu. The Hulu sign up process malfunctioned. It might have demanded my gender and birthday but I never got that far.

Amazon doesn't currently have this series. That would have been my preference and to watch it on a browser/internet instead of downloading. And no App.",6
"First of all I am a fan of Jeff's VanderMeer book - which is actually a Trilogy, and was a sort of maverick on the editors market - since it experimented releasing all 3 parts of the story within a short period of time (called Netfixising). This film flattened the story to a 'Predator' type jungle escapade, with a weak acting and bad special effects. It we would be left with 'Star-ship Troopers' experience without trying to ingest a complex story that the book is trying to share - I presume that with starts like Natalie Portman or Jennifer Jason Leigh - that could be an even an interesting experience. But unfortunately authors of the script flattened the story and pressed it into 2 hours. It's like showing the Hunger Games in a single movie. Don't waste your time for this adaptation, better take the book, or just enjoy other films. There is so much to choose from...",2
"Trash show of the year.

House of the dragon was so overwhelmingly BORING, they should never bring back another episode just cut your losses and run and never come back. There was hardly ever any action, just a bunch of talking where I could barely understand what they were saying.

Please bring back Game of Thrones, that's where the real action is!!!!

I didn't like any of the plots of the story, didn't like the king's wife, she was too young when they got married, so that was like statutory rape, even though I know that was their culture back in those days-- to marry young, and marry one of your family members which I think is disgusting.",1

"Notice how many online reviews just complain about anything ""woke"" when they clearly have nothing substantial to say about the subject of their ""review"". It takes a lot less effort to repeat Fox News buzzwords than it is to see whose ""agenda"" one's a part of.

If you didn't read the old ""What If..."" comics, they were re-telling s of major Marvel Comics events with a twist, told within a single issue, so they were always short takes, one-and-done. So, inevitably, the flow is always a bit too rushed to take seriously or believe there's any lasting impact.

That's an inherent flaw of the premise, that results in the show being too quippy and playing like a montage of action freeze-frames.

With those things in mind, the animation style is gorgeous. I first recall seeing it in The Iron Giant, looking like hand-drawn animation with the volume and moving perspective of 3D computer animation, with the added detail of surface textures that retain their detail as objects move through space.... Except now, 22 years later, all the techniques are refined and pushed to the limits of modern technology, with no shortage of lens flares. Character likenesses are spot-on and practically any feature is given enough detail to move with facial expressions, physical activity, body language, and even the natural folds of costume fabric and skin. It's all done with an expressive colour palette, like any still frame could just as easily be an album cover or movie poster.

If seeing Agent Carter as a super soldier has you sounding the alarm because it seems ""radical left to you, isn't that really what you tuned in for?",7
"Rating: 8.6 Overall, a very good effort in Cord Jefferson's directorial debut as Jeffery Wright's performance and very good comedy writing/direction propel the movie into something very funny yet profound with its social commentary.

Very Good Direction (Controls everything very well on a macro and micro scale as he uses comedy and social issues to propel the story forward; gets a lot out of his actors as the comedic moments feel very genuine and the dramatic moments feel very meaningful), Good to Very Good Acting (Great from Jeffrey Wright (Really controls every scene he is in as he plays the line between Comedy and Drama very well (excelling in both areas as he shows off his experience)), Good from Tracee Ellis Ross (Makes an impact with her scenes with Wright as she plays off of him very well to help show the relationship the protagonist has with his family), Good from Issa Rae (Holds her own well as her comedic timing is good and works well at building tension between her and Wright), Good to Very Good from Sterling K. Brown (Has a lot of charisma in his performance as he uses his over-the-top comedic style mixed with dramatic experience to make his presence known in the scenes he is in), Good from the rest of the cast (Everyone does their job well and contributes to providing humorous moments and moving the story forward)), Very Good Story (Uses the source material very well to create a very contemporary story about how far virtue-signaling has gone in today's culture; uses many different story elements to help play both sides of the comedy-drama; Does a good job at building the character of Monk as you can see the conflict he has with career/family/race; the story progresses very well as each element of the plot is built upon till the very end (with the meta-narrative structure playing a big role throughout to mimic how the original novel was written)), Very Good to Great Screenplay (The dialogue is very good as it just feels very natural and helps keep the story interesting; the jokes were very well written as they are appropriate in showing how Monk thinks about the whole experience (with a lot of it coming from the scenes where he is pretending to be the convict); the symbolism is really prevalent as it helps with delivering the message of being against virtue-signaling and pigeon-holding racing into thinking they talk about certain topics; the foreshadowing is very unexpected as it really stems away from the traditional narrative structure to not have that many cliches), Pretty Good Score (Very Jazzy and helps set the personality of the protagonist), Good Cinematography, Good Sound, Good Editing, Plot Structure was well laid out as every element was prevalent and these elements flow between each other; the metanarrative elements do break the plot flow sometimes but in a good way as it helps with showing how the protagonist is really thinking about the situations he is in, Pacing was good as it followed the general pacing of a comedy; the runtime was good as there really was nothing that could have been added or cut, Climax was good as it showed the culmination of how far Monk went with the character (and has some elements that make it not so predictable to enhance the comedy of the moment), Tone was more in line with a comedy than a drama (with the dramatic elements feeling being more lighthearted than that it should've been), Saw a premiere at Austin Film Fest.",8
"I was caught up in the hype of this being an amazing, groundbreaking movie so went in with sky high expectations. Which is bad for me because I almost always end up disappointed and tougher on the movie than need be. The same thing happened here as I left my viewing of this movie so let down.

It definitely had potential except it was too scatterbrained to fulfill that potential. It was needlessly violent, vulgar, and offensive. It could have accomplished its mission without these elements, which I understand is not realistic in today's pop culture world. Oh well.

I will admit I didn't ""get"" much of this film. Maybe it will connect with you and you will enjoy more than I did.",3

"I went to go see this with a friend on Saturday night. Now, I heard the film from others that this a step or two below the original, but I went in with an open mind. By the time the movie was over, I was pleased. But then, after thinking about it more, this is a disappointment. The film is drastically different in pace. Honestly, it gets a bit of a bore for awhile, which never happened in the original. Sometimes, its just hard to take this film seriously as a superhero film. In my opinion, the overwhelming number of laughs and silliness in this film makes it hard to take seriously. There is a large list of new things in this sequel. First, we learn much more about Tony Stark's father than we ever did in the original. Its quite interesting. Jon Favreau has a much, much bigger role in this film than the original, and I absolutely loved his role in the film. We learn his character has a personality. The talented Don Cheadle replaces Terrence Howard as Rhodey,and I actually liked him better in the role. They both seem so different in the role. There's Scarlette Johansson as Black Widow. I was honestly disappointed with her role in the film. It was too small, I thought. Mickey Rourke is raw and sinister as Whiplash, the main villain, and its a perfect fit. He does an absolutely perfect Russian accent. Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer is a good fit for the most part, although it was hard for me to take his character seriously after awhile as a villain. Sometimes, it seems like all his character does is be funny. Samuel L. Jackson has a much bigger role in this film as Nick Fury (he had a credit ending scene in the original). In a way it succeeds over the original, but for the most part it doesn't. It's missing some of the excitement and originality that made the original a truly great achievement in film. This is quite a bit different from the first, and you may not like how different it is. I certainly didn't. Many new actors, and a whole different type of ballgame. There's a bit, I think, too much silliness in this film. But still, it'll do. Go see this. Its not as fun as the first, but its not as disappointing as Spider Man 3 was. And do be sure to stay after the credits if you're a fan of Marvel Comics. Make sure you notice Stan Lee's cameo in this as well. Its rather brilliant. Overall, good film.",7
I was so looking forward to this movie because of the killer cast and the hype. I was extremely disappointed. Pitt was excellent and Leo was ok but the story meandered nowhere. The first 2 hours and 10 minutes dragged on and on. Sure it provided some foundation for the ending but Leo just as easily could have been a limo driver instead of a washed up actor and it wouldn't have mattered. Some sharp dialogue but a let down overall.,2
"What happened to the fun, exciting, engrossing Witcher show from season 1? Season 2 is nothing but side characters, that not one person cares about, talking and talking. They drone on about uninteresting political nonsense that takes up the entire season! I'm so upset, I waited two years for the second season after loving the first and this is what they do?!

How hard would it be to make a simple shower with Geralt going around investigating and killing monsters? There's barely any of the Witcher in ""The Witcher!"" Awful. A big waste of time and I'll skip any further seasons until the entire series is done and canceled.",1
"True to the name this was one strange movie. Enjoyable, but on the odd side. Fantastic cast, I'll be interested to see where the next installment goes. Also points for Thor cameo in the ending credit scene. The CAPE stole every scene it was in - let's hear it for inanimate object acting! According to the trivia Stan Lee has a cameo reading an Aldous Huxley book on a bus, but I did not see it!",4

"I think the point of the movie was to show the inevitable fate of the mafia winding down, no longer needed in modern society. And that's fine but so much of the movie was spent on the politics of the mob and details that just feel redundant by this point - we don't need to be shown the patriarchal nature of the mob and it's connection with the government ad nauseam. It's just not interesting anymore and really feels like it romanticizes the mafia which diminishes anything they do in the end - because what, are you really supposed to feel sorry for a character you know has basically murdered in the double digits for most of the film and for fairly mindless reasons too?

The one interesting point within Frank's character is that he is doing the killings like a soldier carrying out orders so you're left thinking how much responsibility does he have in the killings vs someone who kills out of passion or rage or greed. Thinking back on it right now there's some cerebral enjoyment from that question but during the movie not so much.",4
"Well, I've just seen this movie and although I am far from a fanboy of this genre I've seen enough of MCU films to comment that this one is far from the best. I really don't know where the 10 ratings are coming from, perhaps because people have seen the 21 previous films and have invested time in those and HAVE to like this one. I'm just glad it's all it's all over. There's better films out this year to look forward to. If you're a massive fan you'll give it 10, if you're not it's a meh.",3
"As a lover of most all things A24, I waited and waited to see this movie. And what a disappointment it was. This is more of a comedy than a horror. Myself and most everyone else in the theater were laughing at how incredibly dumb and silly most of the ""scary"" scenes were.

I have no idea how this is scoring a 7.5/10 when it's nowhere even close to being as great as Midsommar, Hereditary, Men, The Witch, Saint Maud, etc. It makes me wonder if the scariest movies most of the reviewers have seen are Dirty Dancing, The Princess Bride, and Four Weddings and a Funeral... but then again those are all actually far more terrifying than Talk to Me.",5
"The Godfather: Part II, along with The Godfather, is the greatest film ever made. In all likelihood, anyone else who appreciates great films that has seen the two would agree that both are absolute masterpieces of film and are as close to perfect as you can get.

Part II maintained the rest of the core cast from the original with Michael (which Pacino deserved an Oscar for his portrayal), Tom, Kay, Fredo, and Connie. While Part II lacks Brando's Don Vito Corleone, Sonny (except for a flashback), Clemenza and Sollozzo, it makes up for it with De Niro's young version of Vito, Hyman Roth, and Frank Pentangeli. The beautiful music also carries over from the original. The two stories of Michael expanding his empire to Nevada and Cuba and how young Vito started his career in New York are perfectly played out.In fact, what many people don't know is that while the original is based on Mario Puzo's novel, Part II, with the exception of the story how Vito's rise to power, is completely original material.

The Godfather: Part II is a must watch for anyone who truly loves film. It is one of those films that you should watch at least once in your lifetime.",10

"No story , unnecessary action , and just showing dirt in all the scenes doesnt make sense",1
"The show's premise is great; a post-apocalyptic world with infected humans and dangerous factions, but the show doesn't really utilize the eeriness. It becomes just another action show in a special setting. The pace is extremely slow, it lacks tension and sense of urgency - mainly because of these intermediate episodes that focuses on certain characters without pushing the story anywhere. The relationship between Joel and Ellie isn't as interesting as the writers seems to hope for. However, the show still manages to tell a somewhat engaging story. Performances are top-notch, and it's a high quality production.",6
"I found that I predicted every single thing that happened in the episode. There is no thought process to it and for the simple minded. The acting was bad and they changed Phil's personality too much. It was absolutely unnecessary to show that woman in a bra at the beginning and focusing on the on girl's breast during the interrogation scene. If you are going to show off women give the female viewers some eye candy too. It was sexist and pointless. If you think you story sucks so bad that you just have to pull crap like that then just cancel the show. There are lots of females who are interested in these type of shows, so why don't you gear some not all things towards them. Btw when does PG mean you can show women in bras?! The rating was all wrong for this crappy show. I would not let my child watch this show. I know most pilots suck so I am giving it one more chance but that is it.",4
"Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) discloses to the world that he is the Iron Man and the senate presses him to deliver his technology to military purpose but Tony refuses telling that he has brought peace to the world. Meanwhile, the evil Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke) surprises the world attacking the Iron Man in Monaco with his armored suit. Ivan is arrested but Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell) releases him simulating his death. Meanwhile Tony is depressed expecting to die sooner and Lieutenant Colonel James 'Rhodey' Rhodes (Don Cheadle) steals an armored suit from Tony and brings it to the army. The high command delivers the technology to Justin Industry to weapon the armor and Ivan builds an army of remote controlled suit of armors.

""Iron Man 2"" is a festival of special effects and shattered glasses. The hero Tony Stark is an unpleasant and arrogant character and the film is recommended for fans of Transformers and explosions. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): ""Homem de Ferro 2"" (""Iron Man 2"")",5
Only 5 episodes. It keeps my attention. But most characters are extremely unlikable in my opinion. Especially Judy. I spend most of the time thinking about how much i hate Judy while i watch this series.,5
"First 20 minutes, amazing, action, interesting, mystery atmosphere. Than movie goes from action to drama, and becomes boring, story start to drag too much, nothing specially happening, and music have too much presence, and its announcing something that never happens on screen, its just boosting the drama and atmosphere, but with no real credit and reason for it.

Im disappointed, cause i was expecting movie at the level of Saving Private Ryan or Enemy at the Gates, but this is not action oriented as mush as those movies, and there is no blood and gore, and difficult moments, and i feel like they are missing.

Film have quality, i love this director, but it is slow, and it is more of a drama, and that is something i don't like, its worth a look, sound is done amazing. I would say it worth to see it in cinema if u have nothing better to do, otherwise, DVD or blue ray, and home looking are better option in my opinion. I gave this movie 7 out of 10, best regards, Damir.",7
"My expectations were a little low for this film. Mostly because sequels are seldom able to capture the magic created by the original work. But Kung Fu Panda 2 was able to recreate the same magic again. I think the 3 year gap also helped.

Kung Fu Panda 2 retains the same sense of humor and appears really fresh. Po shows some vulnerabilities and has to go through an emotional journey, albeit a short one. More stress is on humor here than anything else, just like in the previous installment.

There are some animation sequences which are pictured in past which were really fantastic and quite a nice change from the usual style of the movie. The 3D is really good unlike some other recent movies. There are enough good 3D scenes here to make it worthwhile to wear the clunky glasses.",2
8/1 for season 1 as I haven't watched season 2.. Hm tbh I don't think season 2 is necessary. I liked this. Interesting. What a ride.,8
This movie has a very clear concept and unique script writing.,10
"The film is based on the first half of the final book in the series by J.K. Rowling, so it's understandably incomplete. Not to sound too enthusiastic, but the movie is outstanding, and the best Potter film since Prisoner of Azkaban.

Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma ""The Standout"" Watson return as Harry, Ron, and Hermione. These three are trying to defeat the sinister, and malicious Lord Voldemort (Played by Ralph Fiennes), who sends his Death Eaters on a mission to find Harry, so that he may destroy him once and for all. Harry, with the help of his friends, tries to find, and destroy the remaining horcruxes, hidden objects that give Voldemort eternal life. As they try to uncover each of these objects, jealousy starts to arise between them, emotions are tested, and the mystery of a secret known as the Deathly Hallows is uncovered.

I'm normally not too vocal about censorship, but I personally wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone under the age of ten. The series that started with the family friendly Philosopher's Stone, has evolved into by far and away, the most tonally dark, and brutally violent entry in the series so far. This inspired ambition is thanks to director David Yates, who holds the record for directing the most feature film adaptations of the series. It's not only a great fantasy, but it works as an effective study of the character's hidden desires, and secret jealousies. The movie at times feels slow, but slow pace aside, the movie is totally enrapturing, none the least of which is a terrific animated segment explaining the origin of the Deathly Hallows, right up to the film's heart stopping finale, comparable to the brilliant cliffhanger ending of The Two Towers, that leaves me so excited to revisit the film.

The film's main cast, that include Radcliffe, Grint, Watson, Gambon, Fiennes, Coltrane, Rickman, Carter, Felton, and Staunton are back in top form, and most are better than ever, specifically the three children, who have come a long way over the past ten years, and deliver truly adult and complex performances. These returning members are helped out by great newcomers such as Bill Nighy, and Rhys Ifans, who clearly enjoy playing their characters, despite short screen time.

Such a dark entry in the series like this is nothing if not for the brilliant tech crew. The visual effects artists provide brilliant work, Stuart Craig's production design is darker, and grimmer than ever, the brooding cinematography by Eduardo Serra is right on the money, and the subtle mostly strings score by Alexandre Desplat is the best non-John Williams score for the series, and compliments the movie perfectly.

The only flaw is making us wait eight months for the last installment, but since such a day will be bittersweet at best, I'm content on waiting as long as possible to see it all conclude.

I give Deathly Hallows Part 1 ***1/2 out of ****",9
This is owsmmm movie with feelings and comedy every one should watch this movie u can fell the pain of street animal and true meaning of love from this movie every one should watch its ones highly recommended movie how pets love us how they show feelings this is masterpiece and acting of Charlie sometime I got forget that its a dog thank to director who makes efforts to make this masterpiece.

Its our desire its too much heart touching.,10
"I'm not going to review the movie, but I will review the flawed/easily manipulated Rating system this site has become. As I write this, the movie supposedly has over 12000 independent movie-going-public votes - even though the general release of the movie in the U.S. is not until tomorrow and the international release is occurring now. And, apparently, well over 11000 of those votes gave this movie a 10 out of 10 rating because the overall rating is 9.3 - that would mean that not only is Interstellar the best movie ever made in the history of cinema, but it is far and away the best movie ever made and movies such as The Godfather, Gone with the Wind, etc. are only average by comparison. There are two other possibilities. The first is these 12000 voters have seen only a few movies and they were so bad that this one seemed perfect by comparison. Or the entire voting process is manipulated by filmmakers to produce artificially high ratings to dupe potential ticket buyers. Spoiler Alert: It's not the best movie ever made.",7
Awesome awesome awesome awesome.. awesome awesome!!!!!!,10
"A favorite of 2022.

What makes this film fantastic is the cast. Margot Robbie is not only believable as the slightly kooky Valerie Voze but is also a visual delight while pursuing her heart's desire.

There's Robert De Niro who as a USMC General makes an astounding speech that sums up the attitudes of the USA while the wealth gap increases, diversity acceptance is shrinking.

Taylor Swift and Chris Rock are two talents outside mainstream acting but prove themselves worthy in this film.

Many scenes are 1930's architecture which helps place the movie's timeline.

I'm getting ready to watch this VERY enjoyable movie again!",9
"Are u a business man.pls watch this film .U will get 95% profit from 50Rs through this film.This film is like reading a good book.It can change our life style,target and achievement.His previous film yuva is the concept of bringing the Indian youths to politics.This is the concept of bringing peoples in to business.Have u believe this is the biography of a business man.Is it possible to tell a story of business man in this interesting way.Its all magic in Maniratnams hand.I won't tell this is best of maniratnam .(compare with Kannathil Muthammittal-Tamil).As usual dialogues in this film also very excellent and sharp.Abishek is become one of the best actor in bollywood.AR.Rahman music is good but nothing special in songs.He did the Background music as well as Hollywood films.But this songs are not compare with his masterpieces.Some where we con't understand what is going on(eg:What gurukant was saying to petroleum minister).Finally if you are thinking of close your business pls watch this film before close down your business.U con't.",9
"I've enjoyed the first season. It had a storyline and was over the top, which made it very entertaining. There is a main character, a quest to achieve a goal, character development. Some boring scenes and questionable acting but you look at your phone when that happens and it still pulls you in eventually.

I've now stopped watching halfway through the second season. I now wish that the first season ended on a final resolution.

There is no clear storyline or direction it wants to take the viewer. It is instead replaced by some failed attempts at world building and horribly annoying, over exaggerated, « new » characters.

I would have given the first season a 7. I'm settling on 5 since I would have given a 1 to the second season but have also stopped watching and can't attest to the quality of season 3.",5
"4th Viewing and it gets worse each time. I liked it the first time I watched it. The second time too, but the third time it was kinda forgettable and now the 4th time I really see the problems and why I never really remembered what happened.

The writing is the culprit of why this isn't very good.

First, Katie Holmes is a total bore, she has a personality of a dead fly. Totally lifeless, which isn't good when she is supposed to be Wayne's love interest. Just showing two kids playing for 2 min isn't enough to develop a believable love story. Even as adults, Nolan didn't give us any reason why Wayne would be in love with Rachel. Just having characters exchange looks doesn't cut it. Especially with a dull character like Rachel.

Then some of the dialogue was so beyond cheesy I laughed out loud. Alfred was supposed to be on Wayne's side but he constantly seemed to fight against over for the sake of just having drama/conflict. Caine is a great actor, so it's unfortunate his role was such one-dimensional.

Freeman was much more interesting.

There was no good reason why Wayne was afraid of bats. Them flying out of the well didn't seem like a legit reason why he feared bats so much and had to overcome them. This is like being afraid of dogs but never being bitten by one. To have such deep fear you need to SHOW why and the audience should feel just as afraid. I didn't, and I don't even like bats.

Cillian Murphy was definitely one of the best things, but he was totally underused. He was also too easily defeated.

In the end, Batman Begins had way too many villains and most of them had too quick of a climax before they were doomed like Carmine Falcone, Joe Chill, and Scarecrow.

Nolan just had too many ideas cramped into one film.

There is also some inconsistency with how Batman isn't supposed to kill for whatever moral grounds he has, but then he carried a gun and went to kill Joe Chill. That makes no sense.

Why does he leave Gotham as an adult for 7 years? Did I miss something?

One of the offenses Nolan committed was the total lack of relationship between Wayne and his parents, again, like with the relationship with Rachel, it was tidbit moments without much substance. I literally didn't care when his parents got shot, because I knew NOTHING about them and their relationship with Bruce.

If you are going to make a Batman BEGINS, then we need more substance of why he became Batman. Juxtapose this with Star Wars a new hope where we see Luke's day-to-day routines, his interaction with his family, their dinners, work, relationships etc. They could easily have spent 15-20 min on Bruce as a kid and why he loved his parents and why they loved him with ordinary family stuff. Not him pointing and his father giving him a two-sentence life lesson. It's lazy typical writing where they show a kid hugging his parents and then expect people to think that creates a bonding relationship for the audience. They rush to action but forget that action only matters if we care about the people in the action and we can't care about them if we don't know anything substantial about them.

I probably won't ever watch this again.",4
"I found this movie confusing and fragmented ...all over the place. It appears that Thanos, even without the infinity stones can kick ALL the Avengers butts. What???",3
"It should be one of great movie I watched. It's story about the true condition of the world. Where every Muslims are considered as a terrorist. For the example is the difficulty of getting visa to visit US and Europe for muslims name. It's ridicule!!!

The movie contains a lot of real things what happened in US. It tell us how to respect each others. Even with different tradition, religion, and lifestyle.

I don't know why many people hate this thing! Maybe the valuable movie like this isn't impressed them so much. Or maybe because of the film do not contains an erotic scene??? :/",10
"To think that ""knowing"" people make you like them is wrong and absurd. Jews in Germany were completely integrated into the society in the 30s. If the point of this movie were true why did most survivors choose to go to refugee camps instead of back ""home""? This is why Israel got statehood. Does the writer-creator think Steven Miller and Steve Bannon don't know Jewish people? In fact Breitbart's banker Mercer is ostensibly Jewish, who seems to be okay fanning the flames of hatred to gain whatever they are trying to gain. Do we think that gay-haters never knew gay people? We all have known and seen LGTBQ people all our lives and they are still generally not respected. This movie might be funny if it wasn't so ridiculously wrong. But there are ""good people on both sides"", including the Nazi marchers in the US who chanted about ""Jews"" the night before with their brown shirts. I guess I just need to get to be better friends with some of them.",2
"Can an angel and demon stave off armageddon? Possibly, if they screw up enough things along the way.

Really enjoyed performances throughout. Tennant seemed to be channeling Bill Nighy as Billy Mack from Love Actually, and he did it with aplomb.

Six episodes felt like to proper length for the material.

I also think it is healthy that we can laugh at ourselves and even our faith.",8
I didn't expect much after the first season but I love how the authors now focused more on the other characters than hannah!,5
Scifi is a bit weird. If you kind of agree with it's vision of the future then it makes more sense and a little easier to get along with. Let's call it in-tune scifi. This would appear for me to be just that. The only thing I could knock this entire series for would be the lead actress. She just didn't have enough scope in her arsenal to convince me that she fitted/cared. Maybe I just read her performance wrong but................. A great series all the same. :),8
What a movie Hats off to all actors. Mind blowing work done by whole team loved it so much. Showed the reality of society Amazing Movie. I recommend everyone to watch this movie. THANK YOU.,9
"Season 4 volume 1 is fantastic. I love how the duffer brothers have slowly increased the horror and gore as the characters got older which enabled a more sinister take on the upside down world.

These kids are now in high school so the natural progression of the show would to make it around a 15 certificate which then allows it to move along with how the cast have grown up. Great work.

You can tell the duffer brothers were heavily influenced on classic 80s horrors when they were young, from the score, the settings and the main protagonist!",8
"The good: Tom and. Owen are a great pair I never would have thought had as much chemistry as they did. It was wonderful and their back-and-forth is the best part of the episode by a long shot.

The production value and visuals are also really great here, as to be expected on a flagship Disney property.

The plot they set up could really lead into some pretty interesting directions if the writers are brave enough and given the freedom to do so.

The bad: The constant call/flash backs can get a little tiresome and wear their welcome for those of us who have Marvel movie fatigue. I'm hoping this was a mostly one time deal to set up the series and remind people why they're here.

As with any show or series dealing with time travel stuff, there are already plot holes and inconsistencies with the main ""group"" involved. You go from people with control of cosmic power to bumbling idiots in the span of just a few minutes. At times in the episode, this idea is played with to really good comedic effect, but later it's downright absurd in the worst way possible.

In conclusion: This was a strong start with great performances by the lead characters that I'm excited to see where this goes. I'm hoping they didn't blow the majority portion of their budget on the first episode as a hook like they have with other series and the quality stays at or above the level shown. Here's to hoping!",8
If you Born and God give you Chance to See Only 1 Movie then Select This Movie,10
"Either you love it or hate it, I was lucky to be one of the people who loved it. The series is just amazing, and every season keeps on getting better, lot of surprises and overall the best show I have seen on TV, and the acting of Gregory Itzin, the one who played Logan, was incredible. I still do not understand why there are some people who hate it, but well, I'm sorry for them.",10
"This is one of Marvel's best. I watched Luke Cage and Iron Fist- didn't quite hit the spot like this show did. The combat scenes and rawness of the violence are really cool and refreshing for a superhero series. Definitely recommended, can't wait for the next season!",9
"""A film is a dream you never forget"" For lovers of motion picture everyone remembers they're first film. The fascination and joy it brang. In this, his most personal film yet Steven Spielberg's The Fabelmans (of what even can be mistaken as semi autobiographical) is fantastic.

Sammy Fableman, a young Jewish boy finds a passion burning for motion picture. His family is tortued by a guarded secret that threatens Sammy's dreams. Only when a young flame enters his heart, the fire reignites.

Its not often you can say Paul Dano is outshone. He's brilliant like all the acting. Gabriel Labelle is fantastic, but Michelle Williams steals the screen. Do not let negative reviews deter what is definite Oscar movie material.",9
"I found this film to be trying to cover too much time in one film. You cannot convey depth and soul in such a rush. It was a check list of trying to be quirky, deep, etc. It did not work. I previously saw 3iron and that blew me away. This film has a very high score and I do not understand why. It is overtly formulaic. No character is given enough time to become anything you can relate to really. It is a hurry and that does not work for something like this. It is like Indie film for mainstream mind. I was not moved by it.",6
"In the recent past, Akshay Kumar has mostly been seen in comic flicks, barring the odd stunt-based brain-dead crass films like Rowdy Rathore. Amidst all this, 'Special Chabbis' comes as a welcome break with director Neeraj Pandey delivering yet another gem after his much acclaimed 'A Wednesday'.

The film is inspired by the real life 1987 Tribuvandas Bhimji Zaveri Jewel heist where a middle-aged conman had posed as an Income Tax Officer staging a raid with 28 'newly recruited' officers who were told that they were doing a mock-raid as a part of their training. The thief, who called himself Monsingh disappeared with the Jewellery and was never caught. To date, this is said to be an 'unsolved mystery'.

While portraying a single event would have looked like a documentary, the writers have added more meat to the film through events and developing each of the key characters, presenting most aspects of their lives, love interests, family, etc., Sure, the storytelling has repeated shots of people walking or driving for dramatic effect, which gets tiresome after a point. But then, the story doesn't lose pace.

The first scene shows a walk-in interview to recruit CBI Officers. Cut to flashback, Ajay Singh (Akshay Kumar), PK Sharma (Anupam Kher) along with Joginer & Iqubal are seen raiding a Minister's house in Delhi assisted by a cop Ranvir Singh (Jimmy Shergill). After they have recovered lakhs, it is revealed that the four men posing as CBI officers are actually fakes. The four soon disappear into the crowd with the loot.

Fearing loss of face, the minister refuses to lodge a complaint, much like most of their earlier victims. It is revealed that the conmen use the fear of law to loot black money whose owners would never want the public to know that they had it in the first place. Soon, the news of the loot reaches the real CBI where Wasim Khan (Manoj Bajpai) is tasked with finding them. He is helped by the now-suspended cop Ranbir Singh.

What follows is a very interesting chase across cities, peppered with the right dose of comic lines delivered at the right time. In a way, the movie reminds you of Tom Hanks, Leonardo DiCaprio starrer 'Catch Me If You Can' and the famous 'Ocean' series and packs in adequate drama. Although many Bollywood filmmakers have heist flicks before, only a rare few could get the formula right and 'Special Chabbis' is a good one!

Some may argue that the film surely has a moral dilemma angle to it. One, that it makes heroes out of conmen. But the other argument would be that the people they robbed were bad anyway. The weakest link is probably the love track which rather delays the film, and some repeated footage that could've been avoided.

On acting, the best among them is Anupam Kher who plays the greedy old man, which is closely followed by a predictably good performer in Manoj Bajpai and Akshay Kumar demonstrating that he hasn't forgotten acting. Kajal Aggarwal, as Akshay Kumar's love interest, at best is a pretty distraction and hardly has much to do. Jimmy Shergill as the cop and Divya Dutta who plays his assistant perfectly fit their roles too.

The single biggest achievement in the film, is its production design: portrayal of 1980's India with traffic free roads, no cell phones, no modern cars, etc. And this had to be repeated for all the cities that the story is depicted in. The best of such scenes is an overhead shot of Delhi's Connaught Place which zooms down to Manoj Bajpai riding a scooter. There are some other scenes that are tacky, but can be pardoned.

Take my advice and don't wait for it to come on TV. With tons of advertisements to interrupt the show, the chase drama would lose its charm. For all the good screenplay, intelligent dialog, occasional humor and some twists, make sure that you don't miss 'Special Chabbis', what many believe is the Indian answer to Ocean's series!",8
"At first I was hesitant to watch Agents of SHIELD. But I was really pleasantly surprised. In the first episodes, it looks quite ordinary, but after the next episodes it speed up. Not the other way around. As it is traditional the case with most shows. I really like that agent Coulson goes everywhere in a suit. Even with a SWAT team where everyone else has bulletproof vests.",9
Recently rewatched the series after not seeing it since it originally aired and I can say with out a doubt it's one of the best shows of all time. Not just in the animated category but alongside all other media.,10
"The cast is stacked-the great Jeffrey Wright, Erika Alexander (love her from the Living Single days!), Sterling K Brown and everyone else are absolute pros who bring an ease to their performances that make both the satire and the drama shine. The movie is very funny while also spelling out the double binds black creatives face. To make a living, you usually have to appeal to white gatekeepers and audiences. This movie itself does that-there are plenty of laughs at the expense of obliviously offensive white folks, but none that cut to the quick. White liberals can laugh knowingly at this movie without feeling exposed or confronted. Perhaps this non-threatening approach will stimulate more self-reflection and change in the creative industries than something more critical would.

Issa Rae plays sort of a red herring of an antagonist in this movie. She, of course, knows all too well that black creators are pressured to always show black characters navigating white worlds (she specifically fought to stop doing that in Insecure, like by having Molly got to work for a black-owned firm). When American Fiction focusses on Monk and his family and girlfriend, we get to see them away from the pressure of having to react to white society. They're just a family dealing with family drama and their own flaws. The movie contains multiple layers and meta-narratives like this that all speak to the double binds that black folks have to deal with in so many aspects of life in America. It's fun to watch and meaty enough to stick with you.",9
"Never die before watch this masterpiece. This film is not only belongs to indians. Every human should watch this failed classic. Atleast current generation kids could grow as good as Mohan Bhargav.

Swades is best Indian film i have ever watch in my life and i am still watching. I am grateful to my friend who introduced me this gem. My life is being better after i got to see this and I wanna suggest this to everyone until I die.

Swades = Life .",10
"I hate to rain on everyone's parade, but I suspect that many of you have been watching too much anime. The CGI work in this movie is possibly worse than that in ""The Hulk"", which I thought had set an all-time low. The lack of attention to detail and the cartoonish characteristics of the CGI images are just appalling and reflect a total lack of any concern for realism. As I have said in other reviews, it IS possible to do good, realistic, seamless CGI. Check out the now-venerable ""Jurassic Park"", which made every CGI dinosaur a work of art.

With that said, the acting is good, the plot is superior to that of ""Spiderman"", and the pacing is very good.

Just, please....stop hurting my eyes with 10-cent CGI! Sam, whatever you're paying for the FX, you're paying way too much.

** out of ***** due to incredibly inept CGI",5
"Believe me you don't want to waste your time on this. Even though I love Ana de Armas, this movie is so bad I had to leave early. All key characters are incredibly dumb which you can't have in a detective movie. Somehow this movie just doesn't claim to be realistic.",3
"Good cinema, very good cinema. The movie is built well, played well and very well realized. For me, it presents a major defect: the lack of dramatic art. The movie is during 148 minutes but I think that would have be needed to have one hour furthermore to help the spectators to become identified more with the characters. I find that the heroes of the movie are not enough ""worked"". What I like in movies generally, it is when we have an ultra-precise idea of whom are the characters. In Inception it is not the case. We enter at once the action and the presentation, the psychology of the characters is just touched. I know that all the movies cannot have 220 minutes as ""Once upon a time in America "" where we follow the characters of their childhood in their death but there I find that it goes too fast... In the same way I shall have liked having a thorough explanation on the concept: who invented the ""machine"" which allows to enter the dreams? And when? How Cobb meets to live on this ""business""? I find that this part misses cruelly. Following the example of "" matrix "" which succeeds in making credible a concept so complicated, ""Inception"" should have settled its concept with regard to the current reality. It would have allowed the spectators to become identified better with the characters. Chris Nolan remains a big director but honestly I expected in better especially after ""Dark Knight""...",7
"It pains me to give any installment of The Goldfather' only 8 out of 10. The trilogy is definitely one of my leitmotifs and I rewatch all three about every six months or so. Nevertheless, Part II is probably the least enjoyable to watch, though I would never skip over it.

Why exactly is this? The acting is superb; the cinematography is great; thematically, the film furthers and develops all the notes hit in the first. Nevertheless, the story, while ""good"" such as it is, it doesn't quite deliver the gripping goods of the first. The backstory of erstwhile Godfather Vito Corleone and the development of his career was worth telling and artistically interesting to contrast with Michael's own headship of the family. Interspersing the two as the editors did may or may not have been a great choice, as it arguably cuts into the building tension of the younger Don's journey.

Still, it's not clear that that journey would, uninterrupted, have made for a gripping drama on par with that of Part I. The first doled out a lot of lavish character development and courtly intrigue with just the right amount of shocking action punctuated in. Whatever the inaccuracies with respect to the real-world mafia, the first certainly captured the dynamic of real-world diplomacy and warfare (whether conventional or criminal) in bouts of rising pressure and preparation sometimes - usually with little of any warning - giving way to open battle. There isn't a ton of action in this one, certainly not on the level of the first.

Still, it makes for a good evening. I tend nowadays to be doing chores when I have it on - I've seen it often enough - but it's not unpleasant to watch and as with the first there is always a lot of ""new"" stuff to catch or forgotten stuff to rediscover upon rewatch. These are big, dense films, and should leave the real aficionados satisfies in any event.",8

This film had me in stitches. Constantly laughing and loving the characters as they started to get closer and grow their relationship. If you are looking for a good drama in terms of relationship and comedy. This is a must! This film has been recommended to me since 2010 and just now have I got the chance to watch it and man! why did I pull it off for so long! It was an incredible movie!,9
"Throwing money at a good idea just isn't enough to make a good movie. There is no story to Netflix's latest debacle other than what you can see in the trailer. There is no character development, no arc, no redemption, no explanation and finally no ending. What's wrong with an ending? I never understood why it's cool for movies or series not having an ending. It doesn't have to be a happy ending, but you need some closure to a story that you've wasted your time and emotion on. The entire flick could be 10 mins long and it's a series of scenes of people arguing, interwoven with a blindfolded protagonist running through the woods.",1
A movie with good messeges. I loved this movie a lot.,5
"I don't get the praise for this film, incredibly boring, slow, and not what you'd expect! If your a blood and guts Terantino fan this is not for you, if your stuck on a flight for 4hrs and there's a choice of 3 movies and two are ones you've already seen, this may be worth it then, and only then!",4
"The acting is good, Daniel Craig's accent is also pretty good (but who cares, it's not part of the story line and better than I could do!), the plot isn't very complex but it is entertaining and reasonably paced. It's funny in parts, unexpected in parts and entertaining through out. It's not slow and certainly not a waste of your time.

So, on balance, the world of entertainment is better for this film existing and I personally enjoyed it and would watch it again. Therefore, any score above 5 is reasonable, for me its absolutely an 8, and I look forwards to the next Benoit Blanc story with Mr Craig in the role.",8
"I have to admit this is one film that surprised me. I didn't really expect to like it, thinking it was going to be just another talkfest. But sure as the wind blows, as the story progressed, it dragged me in.

Andie MacDowell in pretty much her first leading role, really surprised me with an extremely compelling performance as the well-meaning wife caught in a dull almost sexless marriage , who at the film's outset, may well believe she is at fault, and requiring of psychiatric therapy. I've been a fan since way back with Greystoke, where her Jane was dubbed by Glenn Close. (Why I don't really know?). But there have always been critical musings concerning her alleged lack of acting ability. All I can say, is that there were instances in the second half of SL&T, where I thought she was mesmerising.

Laura San Giacomo plays her sassy, uninhibited bartender sister Cynthia, who is having a long-term affair with John, Ann's husband. Into the mix is introduced Graham, an old friend of John's whose own repressions and the means he has of relieving them, will end up casting plenty of light on the title's secrets and lies. James Spader gives an understated, but alluring performance as Graham, whose knack of attracting women to talk openly about their sexual secrets on videotape, will force all four lead characters to face truths about themselves and each other.

In his debut feature, writer/director Stephen Soderbergh openly reveals the creative hand he has consistently played over the years across a range of movie genres; the presentation of frank, realistic, smart dialogue. He was only 26 when he made this film and though I don't see this as being a ""great movie"" per se, it is easy after seeing it, to appreciate why Soderbergh is frequently regarded as the most influential independent director of late 20th century North American cinema.",7
"What can I say about Avatar: The Last Airbender that hasn't already been said? I loved its way of creating this wonderful immersive world with these characters who felt so real and engaging.

The animation is gorgeous with beautiful shot after beautiful shot of either landscapes or the creative architecture of different places they visit during their journey.

And how they created this world using inspiration from east asian spirituality and the elements to make their own mythology is yet again so immersive and interesting.

But as I said earlier, the characters in general are so well made that you just can't ignore how much of an impact they can have on you. My favorite I realised after a few episodes was Zuko. Everything he went through was just so full of suspense and tragedy you'll really enjoy watching his journey even though it's not always turning out good for him.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is not just a cartoon, it's an expirience I'll recommend to anyone who likes engaging storytelling and creative world building.",10
"The first movie was much better than this bomb, mainly because of Willem Dafoe and his fine acting. I can't fathom how critics say Tobey pouting and whining throughout the first half of this way too long movie was character development. The first movie established Parker as a loser and we didn't need to spend nearly an hour watching a depressed Maguirre sulk his way through the movie.

The action sequences were nothing special, and were much too drawn out and boring. Overall this movie was all too predictable. It tried to copy the Return of the Kings into tricking the viewer with false endings (although anyone who read LOTR would know they were not false endings). Dunst was annoying as MJ and as usual tends to overact. Without Dafoe in this movie the performance came from J.K Simmons who had provided comic relief in a limited role.

As a whole this movie is slightly better than the dreadful Daredevil and Batman and Robin. Best Superhero movie ever? Not by a longshot. The original Superman, Batman and both XMen movies were much better.",1
"Bollywood is surely evolving! This action movie based on the true events of the brave and daring surgical strike operation conducted by the Indian Army in retaliation for the Uri attack by the Pakistani terrorists.

A bit melodramatic, but skilfully written and directed. Cinematography is upto the standards. Acting matches the script.

A valiant attemp to depict bravery and patriotism. Deserves a viewing.",7
"Thank goodness, it is over. I did not think the last episode would ever end. First, I want to say that I have not read the books nor have I played the games. I guess the writers just assumed people would understand what was going on in the story. Here are the problems I have with this show. Mainly, there is not any substantial character building. I never fell in love with any of the characters. The timeline is all over the place, which I can handle when it is done properly like in Dark or Westworld. This storyline was like taking a bag of marbles, shaking them up, and throwing them to see where they land. Had the timeline gone in order, maybe there would have been more character connection. Oh Mylanta, what is up with the 1981 Clash of the Titans type CGI effects? They were so distracting. Also, some of the costuming was ghastly! What was up with that rope dress Yennefer was sporting? I do not know if I will watch next season. I just feel like maybe I am missing something. How can everyone, apart from most critics, rate this show so high?",5
"Best show of 2019 for me.

I am really interested in this period of history and this show tells this event perfectly. Really harrowing tale of the 1980's. Cast is amazing. Jared Harris is captivating in his performance.

Will watch this show again soon for sure.",9
"Not sure why its hyped so much. Its a normal movie, not so great and definately not oscar worthy. Jojo rabbit is far better. I watched it after all the hype and i was dissapointed.",5

"The reason Im writing is to show my disappointment with IMDb and its ratings. Usually I go to this site to look a movie up, and usually it gives good info and honest rating. But this time, for this movie, its just nothing less than a travesty. There is NO way this movie can be regarded as high as it stands. And after reading many of the reviews on this site, it shouldn't. The movie is so heavy with its own sense of importance its actually painful to bear. The stories, and there are plenty, are shallow and childish, but the viewer is told that no, they really are deep and matter and you should understand that. I felt jumped by a morale that it tried to present, that the characters were actually fighting something deeper than just spider webs and things thrown at them, that they actually were to be taken seriously. Just for that, the movie tired me. But worse, it bored me. And not because there was not enough action in it, or that not enough things happened, because on the contrary, the scenes were filled with crap it felt an urge to show me. And more and more and more. Man! Puh. But OK, some people like to make this kind of stuff and some people like watching it. But please ... don't treat it like its Sophie's Choice. Don't try to tell me that it is intelligent and has a deeper saying. That it treats real problems, that it tackles important social issues. Don't tell me that this film has something to say. Because it doesn't. It isn't important. Its a super hero movie and its light and should be fun. Nothing more. But it does not, not for me anyway, deserve a 7.9 rating. No f***ing way.",1
"I liked the flashlights with the past events and what brought the present situation but after that we only watched a roadtrip and the adventures of the two protagonists who shoot and kill.

I haven't played the game but this series remind me (after 5th episode) the other bad series (in my opinion) ""Walking Dead"". I want a strong storyline and not the easy way just ""shoot and kill"" scenes, also epidode 7 is of no use (one of the worst episodes ever) and the creators must be very careful when referring to gays,lesbians (episodes 3 and 7) and black and white issues, overexposure of these subjects often brings the opposite results!!.....pitty, i wanted much more of this result.",6

"I don't need to see another Marvel film, and I certainly don't need to see another Scorcese gangster film. He is as tired as this genre. There are really great films being made today but not by this guy. I firmly believe that old people shouldn't be allowed to vote or direct, as they are too out of touch with the current state of things. 'The Lighthouse', now there is quality filmmaking that deserves countless viewings. Really anything that A24 produces should be high on everyone's list of must-see films. This was a rehash of films that firmly sit in the 80s and 90s. This was as fresh as a bunch of bananas sitting in the Arizona desert.",4

"📽Audience REACTIONS at its International PREMIERE: 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄(9 laughs) 😱(1 shock) 😴💤⏳(went long)

Uncut Gems (Benny and Josh Safdie) throws away any attempt at pacing in an over-the-top push to be electrifying. Inappropriate new-age music drowns out a story of risk, capitalism, and gambling addiction. Adam Sandler attempts to move away from his comedic roles into something more serious, but it is difficult to take him seriously. From beginning to end, Sandler's performance is always at the same level, full blast. After 2hrs and 15min of listening to him screaming his lines at top force, I left this screening with a pounding headache. If I was watching it at home instead of it's TIFF premiere, I would not have finished the film. Idina Menzel gave a fantastic performance, but unfortunately it was overshadowed by the chaos. Surprisingly, Kevin Garnett's televised basketball games worked into the film were the only (and much needed) respite from the unfaltering tempo. There is a shock scene near the end of in the film which makes it slightly more palatable. Overall, Uncut Gems is bound to disappoint fans of Adam Sandler's comedy and anyone who appreciates a well-written storyline.

I really enjoyed this despite knowing nothing about the Witcher previously. But Henry Cavill is what convinced me. I neither had read the books or played the video game. I'm not actually fond of fantasy TV shows (I've never watched GOT). It took me until episode 5 to get hooked which is when the plot starts to make sense and the chemistry gets interesting between the characters. When they make season 2 I beg the editors to include a timeline. Trying to make sense of the timelines without previous knowledge or any indication of the movie was as confusing as hell...,9
"I like the what the makers of the Marvel movies have done with the Captain America series.  While most of the other movies in the ""Marvel Universe"" are big, expansive, special effects driven explosion- fests, the Captain America movies have been a bit more character-driven.  Make no mistake, there is still plenty of special effects and explosions, but these movies takes their time to delve into characters and this is what sets them apart.

Such is the case with CAPTAIN America: CIVIL WAR.  This could easily have been called AVENGERS: CIVIL WAR for it follows a rift in the Avengers over the freedom to do what they need to do as they see fit with no oversight.  And while the movie inevitably leads to a battle between the two factions, as big a part of this film is the human cost of these battles and the internal battles some of these heroes wage over the cost of keeping the planet safe.

And, for the most part, this film succeeds in telling both tales - the smaller ""personal"" film wrapped inside a big, special-effects laden summer blockbuster.

At the core of this film is the conflict between Chris Evans' Captain America and Robert Downey, Jr's. Iron Man.  Consequently, this film will fail or succeed on the performance of these performers and the tone that they need to set.  Fortunately for us, both Evans and Downey know these characters and the tone very well so it was like watching two veteran boxers duking it out in the ring.  It was fun to see them put back on the costumes and go at it.

It was also VERY fun to see almost the entire gang back on screen, if it is on opposite sides.  Black Widow (Scarlett Johannsen), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Scarlett Witch (Elizabeth Olson), Falcon (Anthony Mackey), War Machine (Don Cheadle) Vision (Paul Bettany) and even Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) are all back at it.  They are ably joined by newcomers Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) and Spiderman (Tom Holland) and the scenes where all of these are together was liking watching a great jam when the band got back together.  There is going to be standalone Black Panther, Black Widow and Spiderman films and I am looking forward to each of them.  Of course, I'd be up for a Hawkeye stand alone film, so I guess that makes me a fan.

Is it a perfect movie?  Well...no.  

The plot, as is often the case in these types of films, is paperthin.  The franchise, rightfully, takes Thor and Hulk out of the picture (they will be together in the next THOR movie) for if either of those characters were around (especially THOR), then you would have a strong 3rd party to break the tie.

But they aren't and the Civil War raged on.  I liked that there were consequences to the actions (one SuperHero ends up with life changing injuries) and the central dispute remains somewhat unresolved at the end.  It would have felt false for it to be tied up in one nice, neat bow.

I do have a few quibbles.  William Hurt's Secretary of State is too heavily written and acted and the first hour (of this 2 1/2 hour epic) drags in spot.  But in the end, the movie does it's  job and is very entertaining with parts action, parts human emotions and parts FUN (hear that BATMAN vs. SUPERMAN?) and that makes it well worth seeing, if you like these sorts of film.

And, I do.

"It must be a really daunting task to try to live up to some of the greatest TV in history in Game of Thrones and it shows. Everyone from the props department with their ridiculously bad wigs to the CGI guys are really trying very hard and just about getting there but it is all just nearly there rather than nailing it. The actors are the same, all attempting to live up to the original and in the process falling short. Even Matt Smith and Bill Paterson who have each been treading the boards for years appear uncomfortable and in their character portrayal underwhelming. Hopefully, things will improve.

I originally reviewed HOTD at episode 2 and, having given it every chance, I am now at episode 7 and it has just gone from bad to worse! It is incredible that anything based upon such a good book can be so boring but they have managed it. So the Remove Series Link button was used along with Delete.",1
"The telephone has left its indelible mark as a horror film element, thanks to many Japanese films and Hollywood remakes which dwell on mankind's fear of pervasive technology, and it is easy to mistake this Bollywood film, written and directed by débutant Vijay Lalwani as one of the run of the mill horror films which the protagonist get antagonized by strange phone calls made to him in the middle of the night. Thankfully though it steered clear of that formula, although it did become quite the stretch in its home run revelation, to achieve what's relatively short for an Indian film that clocks in just slightly over two hours.

Farhan Akktar impresses and carries the film on his shoulders from start to end. Famous for being a prolific producer and director himself, he has no lack of acting chops and takes on the role as the mysterious Karthik Narayan, a meek man who is agonized by his childhood secret of having been involved in his brother's death. Carrying that kind of guilt while growing up does severe deficiencies as a child, and he becomes very much reserved, often failing to let his talent shine, and being trampled over in his office. He is infatuated with his beautiful colleague Shonali Murkhejee (Deepika Padukone) to the point of being a crazed stalker, accumulating thousands of emails he just had not the guts to send out, and it is this point about being obsessed that is truly scary in the film, especially when these emails were used to aid in the wooing process. Run, girl!

The only other film I watched Farhan star in, is the ensemble piece Luck By Chance, which gave a contemporary look at the Bollywood film industry. Here he cuts his Karthik in two different styles, the first of course which is the shy and gentle meticulous genius with a penchant for solving Rubik cube puzzle. The second develops when Karthik receives anonymous calls on his landline, from a chap to claim to be Karthik himself, dispensing advice on taking personal ownership and standing up for oneself. It's a confidence booster that Karthik's own psychiatrist (Shefali Shetty) seem unable to dispense, and with the prep talk every dawn at 5am, Karthik becomes the confident man as he struts around the office, succeeding in every aspect thanks to those calls, and eventually wooing the girl of his dreams.

The first half focused on the romance for the most parts after Karthik's professional life gets sorted, and here the usual musical montages form the backdrop of the courtship between Karthik and the outgoing Shonali. Deepika Padukone's career so far as been an interesting one, bursting onto the scene with Om Shanti Om and Chadni Chowk to China, both films where she would play two characters each. Thereafter the roles offered somehow didn't challenge the actress, from Bachna Ae Haseeno and Love Aaj Kal capitalizing on her good looks to become yet another romantic heroine. Karthik Calling Karthik again doesn't allow her to break new ground, other than being the clotheshorse in the film..

For a first timer, Vijay Lalwani doesn't become like Karthik in being the bundle of nerves, but pulls this film through with a story that discusses about how technology develops itself despite detrimental effects to health, and mental issues of guilt and intricate complexities of the mind. Through the narrative he challenges the usual norms that one would stereotype this film under, although for a teasing moment decided to let it go a little to offer what a horror film would do with ease. The cards get kept close to his chest with a satisfying revelation at the end of course, but somehow the second half, in which Karthik would be set to challenge the caller after a series of downfalls because of the breaking of promises (and if pushing it, the inevitable trusting of a woman!), seem to be dragging things out for a tad too long, and convenient to boot as well.

No cheap gimmicks were used, and by steering clear of the expected, Karthik versus Karthik manages ring through (pardon the bad pun) as an above average thriller.",8

"Well... I had to accept the damage done in the first season and was wondering what new will be in the second one.

Second series is not better than the first one. It has few good moments, though. Unfortunately, it lacks of tempo and good dialogs, which makes it dull. The series lost its uniqueness. Overall the movie sometimes reminds ""The Shannara Chronicles"". Modern music, very modern talk. Originally the world in the book is very Slavik, very etno, mysterious.... this is lost in the movie, not supported with the music at all. It is just so ...ordinary like plenty of other fantasy movies. Ok, I do not expect the characters speaking an archaic language and play music from middle ages, but at least less modern attributes and more native, Slavik flavour. That is the charm of the Witcher, it is not placed somewhere here in our new modern world. Yeah, yeah...it is a fantasy...so..let's leave it there, somewhere far, far away and long time ago with its charm and its brutality we can only imagine.

I can recommend it for non fans and people not familiar with the saga of the Witcher. Although sudden changes in the timeline might you get lost. Not recommended for the book lovers, as it is a lose adaptation of the original story with changes that may actually annoy you.

Few good points: 1. Triss looks more like Triss in the book - it is a plus, but she is so hysterical when encountered Ciri's power and sort of turned from her. Unnecessary change of the sorceress's character.

2. I liked first episode even though the Ciri was participating in the event, which was not in the book. That was a good change. Liked very much how the Bruxa was presented ...more human? And how the Nivellen was condemned for his crime even after breaking the curse, which did not change what he had done.

3. Yennefer losing power - well done!

4. The Baba Jaga (Voleth Meir) - a new motive nicely started, badly finished. A ghost possessing a ghost ( The Wild Hunt) - I do not buy it. Ciri trapped in the illusion of her past life - very good, especially the fading characters. Nicely done!

5. Graham McTavish as Djikstra? Hm... not bad. Even though he looks exactly like Dougal MacKenzie from ""Outlander"".

6. Love the actors playing Geralt, Ciri, Yennefer, Vesemir and the rest of the witchers.

7. Fringilla and Cahir - nice twist. Liked it.

Minuses: 1. Franceska - Oh Dear!.... . The Elves still do not look like Elves...well apart from the pointy ears. Franceska - the most beautiful and enchanting woman, in the book - here, pretty and sooooo ordinary. Really? Coudn't she be as she was in the book? Here she is just boring, not rational woman - instead of a gorgeous queen, who fights for her elves using her charm and intrigues. Pregnancy, an interesting bonus though.

2. Yennefer betrayal .... no, no, no.... . Would it be so bad if she actually resisted and at least you could maintain the core of the character? Here she is too emotional, hysterical and so not Yennefer, who should be smart, cynical, strong, cold outside, spiteful, with warm moments of the character and devoted in her way. She did not apologize - she just made the things right, ... when she wanted.

3. Episodes 2-6 .... soo boring I do not even remember what they were about... .

4. Dialogs - the weakest point. To many of typical clichés, which keep repeating from episode to episode: ""They lied to me all my life"", ""Everybody who wants to help me - dies"", ""I gave my word... "" or ""I believe in you"". I have heard it in so many movies... . Boring. I was planning to iron again, which I hate. Gerald talks the words he would not say. The conversation between Geralt and Neneke incorporates nothing interesting. Chit chat between Yennefer and Ciri in the 7th episode not interestingly written. Again so ...static.

5. The Dwarfs.... . I can only sigh hard. Really? They do not even look serious. Ok. The Yarpen sort of is, but looks so fragile.

6. Philippa - Hedwig (yeah an owl from Harry Potter). No comment.

7. The Witcher's eyes..... he looks like close relative to Lt. Cmdr. Data from StarTrek (1987-1994). Not scary . Funny.

Really, is it hard to do it better????

8. The Wild Hunt presentation - disappointing. Not ghostly at all.

9. As I liked the first episode I have to admit it does not combine nicely with the rest of the story. It just leaves you with the question ""What was it about?"".",4
"Released three years ago, this comedy was a huge hit, and I can't remember when I first heard of it, but it was a while ago. I was obviously in no hurry to watch it, but finally decided I was going to do so recently because of Michael Cera's co-starring role in it. This got me curious, since I had yet to see him in anything good, and could see that ""Superbad"" was a very popular comedy. Previously, I had seen Cera in ""Juno"" and ""Year One"", and while the former is far more popular than the latter, I was not impressed with either film. Still, since this R-rated 2007 comedy was such as massive success, I still intended to give it a chance, which I did. It seems most people who have seen this movie like it a lot, but I most certainly do not.

Seth and Evan are two unpopular high school friends who are nearing the end of their senior year and will be attending different colleges, meaning they will soon be separated. One day at school, their friend, Fogell tells them that he is getting a fake ID, meaning he can buy alcoholic beverages. Seth's love interest is Jules and Evan's is Becca, and after Fogell tells the two boys about his fake ID, they both promise their love interests that they will buy booze for a big party which they have surprisingly been invited to. With his new card, which says he is 25 years old, Fogell goes to the liquor store to make purchases, and almost succeeds before he is assaulted by a robber! When police arrive, they seem to fall for Fogell's fake ID, but when Seth and Evan see that there are police at the store, they think their friend has been busted! They soon find another way they can get booze for their party. While these two are on their mission that night, Fogell has a blast with the two incompetent cops he met at the liquor store, Officer Slater and Officer Michaels, who still seem to think he's 25 years old!

After seeing Michael Cera, who plays Evan here, in three movies, I've come to the conclusion that I don't like him as an actor. I can't remember exactly what I thought of his performance in ""Juno"" (though it certainly didn't stand out), but thought he was rather bad in ""Year One"", and didn't think he was any better in ""Superbad"". I haven't seen Jonah Hill (Seth) in any other lead role, but was not too impressed with his performance here, either. However, this movie's main problem is that it's usually not funny at all. Some parts did make me laugh, including Seth's rant to his Home Ec teacher and the questions Officer Slater and Michaels ask the liquor store cashier, but I usually kept a perfectly straight face. Watching the two main characters talk about sex, vaginas, penises etc. was boring, and there are a number of memorably lame parts, such as Seth talking about how he loved to draw penises as a kid and how he got in trouble for it, Francis (the guy who takes Seth and Evan to a different party where they can steal some alcohol) getting beaten up, Seth getting period blood on his pants, etc. The scenes with Fogell out with the two crazy cops also didn't usually amuse me. I also didn't care for the characters and thought the premise was pathetic, one about high school students on a mission to get liquored up underage and have sex.

Many modern comedies are extremely raunchy, and this 2007 release is definitely one of them. Don't get me wrong, I'm perfectly willing to laugh when this kind of comedy film is actually funny, like I did many times while watching ""The 40 Year Old Virgin"", another Judd Apatow production, which I thought was VERY funny overall, and even the 2008 Apatow-produced ""Step Brothers"", as much as many people hate that film and probably have good reasons. However, I really don't think ""Superbad"" is very funny at all, even if most viewers would disagree with me. It's a lot like ""American Pie"", with a very similar premise, which is not a good thing, but I found this 2007 romantic high school comedy to be worse than that 1999 one, though they're both overrated. When I finally watched ""There's Something About Mary"" for the first time earlier this year, I thought it was perhaps the most overrated comedy I had ever seen, but that 1998 Farrelly Brothers hit may have just been topped!",4
"The movie had an interesting concept of using magic to commit crimes and the plot was intriguing at most times. The problem is that certain parts of the movie were hard to follow and you need to be really focused when watching the movie, which I wasn't to be honest. I also didn't quite understand what happened at the end with the plot twist. I thought the action scenes were good, but some of the magic tricks felt unrealistic even though I hardly know anything about magic.",6
"""Escape from Pretoria"" (2020) is simple thriller based on a book of the same title that was published in South Africa 1987. As a movie (with actors who BTW have terrible Afrikaans accents) it's too much focus on boring routine how to escape from a South African prison during apartheid time. It also have a lot of still shots and close ups typical for TV/B movies with visible modest budget too. Like with any film that is ""based on a true story"" certain liberties are taken with the true to life events. Here, the real third partner in the escape has been fictionalized as Frenchman Leonard. But, comparing to the real event or real third person here he has no discernible history or proper motivation, while two real black helpers are marginal presented (at best). That is why this movie - as a re-enacted chapter of anti-apartheid history - may not feel entirely authentic, not to mention that movie was filmed in Australia not South Africa. As it is, it's been done cheaply but it's O.K. as a (106 min) rental during Corona pandemic.

Rating: 6- out of 10 (easily forgettable soon after the viewing)",6
"It's a fact that this image of a bad superhero who use his powers by his own it's very used and popular but this serie it's like the glorification of this got a characters for every taste, the protagonists and the antagonists got his own spirit and personality and you never know what to expect because this serie surprise you with plots over plots, you think you know somenthing but the plot change or somenthing happen and always got you on the border of the chair expecting and excited of what's going on and having you waiting for the next episode, the just bad thing about this serie it's like sometimes feel like the same, it's not a bad thing the formulaa that they choise and use works and works well so they use it and got you used to it, but sometimes you can feel burned out of that, but it always refreshing got more character building of every member of both teams.",8
I just saw this movie and there is not a story it drags for two hours the acting is decent nothing for a Oscar worthy in my opinion the last 30 minutes of the movie are the best! I don't recommend it to watch it at a movie theater just wait when it comes on Netflix or redbox.,6
"Iron man when released in 2008 made fans of the character really excited for what was next in is story and while i like the character and the story's that are told i think that this one did not impress me like it should have and that really bums me out as marvel has some of the hottest movies that have been released in recent years so i am still unsure if this one impresses me at all. obviously Robert Downey Jr is the star of the entire movie he has really brought to life Tony Stark as the very troubled man you do really feel he kills it as the role and another star who really makes me fanboy scream is Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff and my word does she kick so much ass that it further proves how awesome she is and the villains of this movie were Sam Rockwell and Mickey Rourke they were perfect villains in evilness in strategy not really but i have to say there acting is not bad in this one. Don Cheadle wasLt. Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes which was a change from the first movie which really bothers me because in this one war machine is given more to do so i was really happy to see him team up with tony in the finale. there was some outstanding supporting actors there was Gwyneth Paltrow,Paul Bettany, Samuel L. Jackson,Clark Gregg and Jon Favreau so not only do we have a solid cast of leads we have supporting actors who to me hold it all together. i'm really on the fence with this movie i like some aspects of it and others i hate so it would seem fairly even if they hadn't make me engaged the entire movie and that's what Marvel and the Iron man series has done so that makes me happy obviously the part which upsets me is the change of actors from Rhodey is something that upset me and i like the new one it's just something that bugs me and probably the fans too but i obviously think its still solid and it holds up and its not the best but its not the worst so i don't mind.",6

"As someone who loves sci fi and sci fantasy, I thought this would be great.. but man, WHAT a stinker! It shows a 7.5, but it's not something I would EVER watch again. I watched this with my 19 year old daughter (I'm 57) and we both hated it. Yes.. positively ""artsy"", but an artsy movie does NOT make a good movie. It's what annoys me about artsy movies that some people think artsy means good and leaves a high review. It, in my opinion, is NOT good and not worth even a 5.0 rating! Felt like watching paint dry.. and at the beginning of this movie the whole thing became pretty predictable. Nothing about it in the last 30 minutes left us with a ""who'd have thought?"" A high rating for a bad movie always leaves me thinking that cast, crew, family and friends stacked the reviews. I wouldn't waste the time.",5

"I went to see Barbie with the highest of expectations and it did not disappoint.

At times the whole movie theatre was laughing out loud. It was a beautiful experience to share. And there was even clapping at the end.

It does not matter if you are young or old, a man or a woman, this is a movie you will enjoy.

Do yourself a favor: leave your judgements aside and go watch it.

Brief disclaimer: it is Barbie. It does touch on some controversial issues; considering Barbie always has been a female stereotype. It touches on the place of the woman in the world, the patriarchy, etcetera. I was not prepared for that and I do have some strong personal opinions on the topic itself. That being said: everything was so beautifully done and told and funny I seriously cannot complain about it. I honestly really enjoyed it.",8
"HOTD is 175 years BEFORE GOT, yet HOTD looks and feels more advanced and less primitive than GOT. It should be the other way around. Paddy is very good actor but he is extremely poor in this show. There is so much dead time during the course of the first 2 episodes where the actors just stare at each other or off in the distance. The dialogue feels forced and the script is poor. The first episode of GOT had you sucked in immediately and the characters were developed just as quickly. It does feel like this show is on a seriously low budget. The CGI isn't great but the dragons look pretty good. HOTD is more like a soap opera. I'm very disappointed, but I'm hoping for a change in the action soon.",3
"I really can't tell that I didn't like this movie, but I also can't say that I like it a lot, I have mixed feelings about it.

The effects of the film are better than the first one, although they still have some problems.

The acting its pretty much the same as the first one, Tobey Maguire is ok, I've seen Kirsten Dunst acting better than this, James Franco is somewhat annoying this time, Alfred Molina is very good at the beginning but gets somewhat underused after that, Rosemary Harris is once again one of the best aspects of the film and J.K. Simmons is very funny in this one.

The script is very aimed to kids and teenagers, is full of unbelievable dialogue (similar to Smallville and Dawson's Creek lines), especially that 'Go get 'em, tiger' line, the movie lacks any menace from the villain and it doesn't take the characters to the next level, basically the first hour tells us how bad Peter's life is, that was set in the first one so I don't see the need of using one hour to tell us the same, again the villain is not very well set (like the Goblin), they're just there because it is needed to continue the story.

The directing was a little better, but very similar to the first one, I was hoping a little more action, menace, and suspense moments, but we don't get that.

I also have problems with the ending, which is somewhat overdone and unbelievable, very 'happy' ending to me.

At the end the movie is entertaining, and when the action comes is memorable, but I was expecting more, I still think the first one was a little better.

"It's interesting how many people give it a review of 2 and 1. Mind boggling really. Many of these people have watched only one episode or the origional show and were expecting the same thing. Well, I didn't watch the show, and came in with the excpectation to see a 7 star show. But it was not 7 star. It was more like an 8 - 8.5 star show. I gave it 10 to counter the really unnecessarily bad reviews. The fact that even ""Arrow"" and ""The Flash"" scored higher than this show, indicates that something is off here. And based on the reviews we can see what.

The show definetly isn't perfect. But it is GOOD. Yes, the first episode throws them into danger right away, before making us care for the characters, and this was a mistake. BUT, as the episodes progress we start to reallly care for the characters. And the story feels mostly logical, some things are left unexplained and don't connect too well, but it doesn't need to. A story is not a computer program, it does not have to have clear connections between things, or else it couldn't do things it wanted, sometimes we need to let a story not be the most logical, so it can serve itself. We do not want simulations, they are boring. We want thought expirements, and this is what we got here. And don't get the impression that the show's logic is really flawed. The main (no spoiler - trust me) ""logical flaw"" is that the family gets into trouble all the time due to the planet, and it has to doesn't it? or else what would we be watching?

Overall, the acting is good, the effects are good, and the story is good. It makes you connect to the characters, isn't afraid to explore some philosophy, contains some pretty accurate science, and leaves a taste for more.",8
What the hell happened in this movie? I got many questions. But the was fantastic. I gotta watch a explaintion video to understand the movie. Nolan is tricking the mind. Outstanding..,7
"My wife and I wanted to like this movie, we really did. It was a nice afternoon out and we had read so many good reviews. They must have been so impressed with the graphics that they forgot there needed to be a story to go with it.

After 45 minutes of generally bouncing from one batch of flying debris to another, I was done and really upset that we had wasted our money on such a dull, repetitive, contrived story. We walked out, along with six others that took our lead. Our theater manager was nice enough to offer passes to make up for it. It's very nice to see there are still theaters that take pride in their customer service.

Might be worth it for $1 at your local DVD vending machine on a slow night, but I won't waste my time again.",1
"I read the saga once a year since 2012. Maybe theres gonna be a remake that actually does not suck once, cant finish after episode 2 of season 2.

How could Sapkowski have let this happen? This is why GRRM really interviewed the producers of asoif

Horrible acting by major cast Not following books Show dont tell never followed Not slavic

The bruxa was great, thats all the positives I got.",1
"I must be honest, I did not expect to much from the witcher. I was pleasantly surprised to find a series set in a wide world with interesting places and characters.

The good: -Pretty good acting. -Unexpected plotline, generally for the better -some episodes are really ""cozy"" fantasy where you can just sit back and enjoy. -acceptable gender perspective with a lot of female leads

The bad: -a bit too obvious ""monsters are not monsters"" -Geralt have too deep voice

Entertainment value: 8/10 Character development: 6/10 Soundtrack: 7/10 World building: 8/10 Total: 8/10",8
"Finally a film that Denzel appears in and it is just poor! Denzel usually makes great films amazing, good films great and poor films good but this sadly just isn't it! Far too cliched and as good as Denzel Washington, Chris Pine and Rosario Dawson are this just is too cheesy and far too predictable.",3
"Unfortunately the writers forgot that in order to enjoy a show and continue to watch it, one must care about the characters. In this reincarnation of Lost In Space, if all the adults die, the show would improve. Good story, good special effects but horrible characters. The actors are ok, not great but not bad, but their characters are stupid, immoral and unlikeable. At several points I was thinking ""yes, sacrifice yourself so your character will be gone. I really wanted to like it, but I'll switxh to something else.",3
Superbbbbb movie classssss master pice superb acting hatsoff all the acter and directer love to watch again and again ...loveeeee it.loveeee it. Awesome movie really...,10
"What is the people's problem with crime, blood, narcotics? Even they mostly hate it, they like watching as I understand from the rate of this movie. The art of telling disgusting things? Oh my God. I found this movie overrated and do not recommend anyone to watch. Watch boxing or something else bloody.",3
"...about two straight, white people with a full cast of white people, with the writing attempting to weave in stories from all social, economic and intellectual backgrounds.

Middle-upper class boy and girl meet, fall romantically in love with each other, have copious amounts of lovey-dovey sex that seems impossibly tear-jerkery, and then float in and out of each other's lives. Much like a lot of books similar to this one (and, trust me, there are a LOT of them that are VERY similarly melodramatic), this show displays what relationships are 'really like' - if you don't love in the real world, that is.

The cinematography, the setting and some of the writing is good, almost great even. The music is lovely but my goodness does it make you want to blow your brains out with how dramatic it makes the show. The stories, though... I found more realism in The Handmaiden's Tale, and that show is about as realistic and believable as Star Trek Discivery.

I would recommend this for any teenager or young adult who genuinely wants to know 'what is love'. That way, they will hold this as their standard of what a relationship should look like and, with any hope, unsuccessfully compare all their real life partners to the characters in this show. I call it 'effective population control'.

10/10 for the scenes, though.",6
"I have registered for this site just to give it a bad Review, but i will give it 4 out of the respect for Bradley. This movie is very very boring so please consider watching something else, or if you are stuck in cinema this might be very very long stay.

I did think that it was very good from all of the reviews others did, but boy was i mistaken. Like someone wrote, a star is Bored.",4
"What started as a good tv show in the first season /trying to bring awareness of a huge problem and be in help of a lot of young people/ turned into a cheap soap opera, complete and utter disaster, and any new season is just getting worst and worst. Giving 6 stars only because of the first season, dont lose your time getting further.",6
"The story line is weak. Very inconsistent. The creators struggled with the Wednesday's identity. Is it bad or is it good? Wednesday somehow is a genius, has ultra talent of everything. All the boys' favorite and girls as well. Wednesday is such a bad bully, but she cannot tolerate others bullied!

Character moves from good to bad, bad to good and all over. Actings are mediocre. There are hints from Harry Potters, past monster and high school movies. Nothing was really original. Not a single episode you could enjoy from start to end. There are glimpses of creativity from Tim Burton but fades quickly.

I think audience deserves better. The directors should not assume audience is stupid and shall swallow all!",1
"After watching Chernobyl and this, it's obvious Craig Mazin knows how to tell a story on screen exceptionally well. But, and there's a couple big buts, I never felt any sense of connection to Joel or Ellie and I never felt immersed in the story.

Joel feels like two characters smashed into one, the strong, assertive, competent but flawed game Joel, and the weak, damaged, acceptably not masculine for today's society Joel. Similarly, Ellie changes between being an inexperienced teenager who hasn't seen death and the horrors of the post-apocalyptic world she lives in and being a strong, capable girlboss who needs to take charge and put Joel in his place. Both Joel and Ellie's personalities would fit perfectly in today's society but make no logical sense given the post-apocalyptic society the show is set in.

Add on that there was nowhere near enough time given to Joel and Ellie's relationship. I'll be the first person to say that the episode about Bill and Frank was an exceptional piece of storytelling, but both it and the Riley episode just feel like wasted time and only serve to undercut the pacing of the story. All together, instead of feeling like a surrogate father and daughter growing together over the course of a long, difficult journey, it feels like siblings on a road trip with some occasional difficulties.

Also, where are all the infected? This is, conceptually, a zombie show, but it's very easy to forget that fact when they are shown or even mentioned as rarely as they are. Gone are the infected that are a terrifying force that have driven humanity into small, fortified settlements and forcing people to make the worst choices imaginable. Now the infected are largely an inconvenience, only used to progress the plot while the focus lies almost exclusively on people.

As a whole, it just comes off as disappointing. There are so many good scenes in this show, the cinematography is excellent, most of the sets look amazing, the acting is mostly very good, and a lot of the homages to the game are fantastic. But the pacing is terrible, the characters are unbelievable and grating, and far too much is ignored to fit an entire story, plus two side-stories, into nine episodes.",6
"THE GOOD ... Its bright and colourful ... Rhea Pearlman shows genuine heart ... Helen Mirren is fine as the narrator ... THE BAD ... I didn't laugh once, this is a complete wet rag as a comedy, in fact it is not better than an epitome of mediocrity in all departments and it is embarrassingly over sentimental in places ... ... The music is dreadful, you can't tell one piece from another ... If this is what studio writers are thinking is creative these days , then the fact is they are wrong and at least as regards Hollywood, AI probably could do better and you should sack the lot of them ... You need to learn that if you write stuff to satisfy the cultures ALL around the world and not upset anyone in the slightest, then you write stuff that doesn't satisfy anyone ... This had immense possibilities, but instead turned out to be a geriatric Barbie who had lost her dentures.",3
"If you are looking for an action packed movie, this is not it. The acting was good but did not make up for the lack of intensity. Very disappointed.",3
"I was dreading watching this to be honest, I thought the trailer looked rubbish and I was dreading seeing someone mess up a character (Hannibal) who I really like, especially how it is portrayed by Anthony Hopkins.

However I was pleasantly surprised by how well it was done, the production quality was great and the acting was captivating. Some of the other reviews mentioned the pace being too fast, I don't find that to be a problem due to the amount of material the writers have at the disposal, I personally find the pace very satisfying as the first episode covered a lot ground and kept me riveted. My only complaint was that it was only 40 minutes.

As you can guess I really enjoyed watching the first episode, I just hope that the following episodes will live up to the high standards set by the Pilot! I look forward to watching them.",10
"I watched this for the first time in middle school and now in my middle twenties, both times it was an equally enjoyable experience. What makes ATLA special is the incorporation of serious themes, presence of intricate characters, natural occurring humor and a spiritual core that's hard to miss. The series will have an impact on many generations to come.",10
Yeah its a great movie with the joker and the explosion i just don't get all the hype and cheer the movie is just great that's it,6
Just watched episode 4. Wow. It was really something. The show started picking up after episode 3. It's really good.,9
"I'm rather happy so many people like this film. It confirms my opinion of mankind. Other reviewers have pointed out the stupidity of this film and I advise everybody to go to the 'hated it' section of the reviews at IMDb and read up a bit about the true nature of this movie. It stinks. It is a corpse that has been underwater too long. It is terrible. It's just another Hollywood production with people running from bullets and never getting hit while too loud droning music tries to add tension where it is simply not there. Sure, there's things exploding and amazing visuals and allegations to human themes (without of course ever becoming real human emotions; allegations are much safer and more popular, because you don't have to actually feel, you can just sit back and go 'oooooh, aren't we amaaaaazing' - well, no, not really), there are characters that are never ever real people - I choose life over the dream here, really, and I hope my dreams never become as lousy as what I see here. In my dreams I feel, I touch, I smell. I dream music and books, I dream people, despair, tears. I dream violence, pain, sex, even death. I have stupid dreams in which I simply work, like I do all day. I sometimes run marathons and wake up exhausted. All these dreams are dear to me, because they are me. This film is not me, or anyone. Even my worst nightmare is preferable over this. At least I feel something there. My tiniest memory of someone I have loved is worth more than this film. A fragment of my capacity to hurt has more energy than this. I could go on, but you get the drift. I rarely give up on films, but this one I did. I quit after 45 minutes. And no, I'm not going to give it another go. As Hemingway said: 'I don't have to eat a whole bucket of snot, to know that it's snot.' One star for me trying to watch this.",1
"It starts rather unpromisingly as if we are heading into a US Cluedo franchise somehow deserving of a voice-over by Foghorn Leghorn and starring the cast of Friends to make things more palatable for Hollywood audiences. Daniel Craig is likable enough as southern fried Inspector Benoit Blanc but why not dispense with his Norleans affectations and just be Detective Ben White? I mean, lordy lordy, comedy just may not be his thang' y'all? The talents of Kate Hudson and Kathryn Hahn are completely wasted on merely repeating 'Oh My God' over and over again throughout as if this might at some point provide a comedic denouement. Yep, the laughs are very few and far between hereabouts with Edward Norton (Fight Club) about as convincing as a scamming idiot savant billionaire as Ted Bundy was a feminist. That said, Director and writer Rian Johnson reverses out of this casting cul de sac with a very ingenious and entertaining sequence of flashbacks and POV shift revelations that add depth and nuance to what is, at heart, an Agatha Christie whodunnit? With contemporary influencers and technology gurus as the butt end of many of the gags. I haven't seen the earlier film from 2019 so can't say if this might be the law of diminishing returns setting in or not. The palpable chemistry between Craig and Janelle Monae is judiciously exploited to mask many of the film's worst faults of which the music is exempt (if you like the Beatles) Serena Williams has one of the funniest scenes playing herself from a fitness video. That's correct I am starting to run out of positives...",4
"I can kind of see why some would find it boring. This movie tells a story and you have to be interested in the story to sit though the movie, the same thing happened to ""Big Fish."" This is a story about a fictionalized version of Steven Spielberg's formative years. I was captured in the beginning and I get it that some aren't as that most Spielberg movies are more of an experience instead of a story. So if you're going to watch it, but yourself in story mode.

I liked every actor/actress in this movie. They were perfectly cast and inhabited their roles minus Seth Rogan, who, to me, was miscast in this movie. Maybe his character shared some physical attribute that the actors shared and reminded Spielberg of him who knows, but he was out of place. The rest were spot on and made up for this.

Michelle Williams has come a long way in her acting career. I forgot who she was as she inhabited her character. The closet scene with her son was an Academy Award winning performance. Also her dance scene was moving.

Paul Dano is perfectly understated for his role as the dutiful father.

Judd Hirsch could be cast as a rock and be wonderful; his part is a great, if not a brief appearance.

Gabriel LaBelle is impressive but Sam Rechner who plays a bully was actually great in his sensitive tough-type role. He was on par with his other actors who were more seasoned, but he and Gabriel Labelle don't have a lot of acting credits to their names, making this even more impressive.

Watch this movie if you like stories, if you look closely, you'll see nods to Spielberg's other movies that he had a hand in spread throughout (Twister and Hook stood out to me). It's not action and falls more in the drama category so some may be put off by that. Give it a chance.",9
"I'm only 2 minutes in, and can already see she is not believable as Elizabeth Holmes. She isn't the worst actor in this highschool play, but I've seen documentaries with Holmes and this actress doesn't do justice to her ""crazy"".

First and most simply, she blinks too much, she doesn't bulge/widen them like Holmes does. She lacks Holmes' distant 1000 yard stare. She doesn't replicate the fake voice Holmes puts on, she lacks in every aspect that shows the egotistical, megalomaniac that was Holmes. It's like the director or actress have never seen a second of Holmes. I could have put a wig on and been more believable... And I have a beard.",3
"For an HBO series, I find the result shocking. What could go wrong with a mini-series crime drama with Kate Winslet? Almost everything, except the protagonist's acting. The character is completely overloaded, her heroines journey formulaic, secondary characters sloppily developed, the genre unclear. The biggest problem, however, is that the theme, the view of society, also seems to be more design than conviction. Instead of creating a sense of realism, the series just wants to please everyone in a woke kind of way.",2
"Not bad. Could be better. I don't like that two of the crew made prank, joke (whatever you call it) to young teen female member.",6
"If you are interested in spies and espionage this is a great film. I suspect the 1 star reviews are from people expecting a SPY MOVIE. E.g Mission Impossible, James Bond , Spy Kids etc. This is a film based on a novel about an actual covert intelligence group known as Red Sparrows. In the scenes showing the degrading tasks the Red Sparrows must do in training (to dehumanize and make patriots of the recruits), we are taken to the brink of what we can stand to see happen on screen, which I'm sure is what the director was trying to do.

Lawrence's character is a tough, highly Intelligent woman who goes through hell. Yes there is sexual violence in this movie but yknow what? Sexual violence is real, why the constant need to hide it? It is not shown in a gratuitous way to sexualize the act for creepy movie perverts like it is in some horror films, it's necessary for the plot, she is a SPY! Danger is part of the job.

This movie is rated R. If you like gritty, psychological espionage films you will enjoy this. It's violent a few times but just the right balance (its not HOSTEL). If you can not tolerate realistic portrayals of torture or sexual violence do not watch. It is also not a cheesy action flick, so some may be bored by that. Fans of Eastern Promises should enjoy.",7
Good portrayal of the Indian defence. Builds great patriotism in all.,9
"I was worried for awhile if this show could live up to my expectations. And simply put, it really did. The scenes are gorgeous and the acting is stupendous. Everything is exactly how I pictured it when I read the books. The ending to the season is beautiful and extremely well done. I can't wait for season 2.",1
"I'm a bit bemused reading some of the comments for ""Red Sparrow"" heralding it as a deviation from the usual movies to reach theatres these days in the age of franchises, brands, remakes and reboots. I mean, in that respect it is, but, otherwise, it's derivative of the many spy thrillers to come before it. The sort of supposedly-smart, star and character-driven project studios used to make more of, one could say. From James Bond to ""Atomic Blonde"" (2017) or, gasp, Black Widow from the MCU, but with less action and more sex... perhaps, more graphic violence, too. I also don't sympathize with those bemoaning this variation as confusing; if anything, I think it relatively straightforward. Indeed, the twists are thoroughly--probably too much so--explained, and the results are plodding. It's more akin to keeping up with an episode of the ""Hunger Games"" series (three of which included the same director as this movie and, of course, all star Jennifer Lawrence) rather than, say, an espionage narrative from John le Carré. Too easy and not worth it beyond the sexual and violent exploitation.

One aspect of the spy games intrigued me, though: the dancing. Lawrence's character is a ballet dancer before becoming a spy. There's a couple overlaps in these careers. Both are performative and both are often related to sex, which itself is a sort of performance act here. There are actors playing actors, and the game involves deciphering where the allegiance of these double agents lie as they dance around the truth. Many spy movies invite such a reading, but the inclusion of ballet here makes it more explicit.",4
"This movie is so beautiful , Amazing casting and Directing Will so prod of you sir Amit ji his proof "" ki main koi bhi role bade Aasanise nibha sakta hoon because i am actor "" Nagaraj sir outstanding work , is movie so emproment in india , I like your Attitude.",10
"'Russian Doll' is everything I hoped it would be and more. It follows off-the-wall Nadia (Natasha Lyonne) who dies on the evening of her birthday and gets caught in a time loop whereby she keeps dying and returning to the start of her birthday party each time she dies. The show extends way beyond this premise and there are depths and twists and turns you won't see coming. If I had to categorise it I'd go with horror-comedy-drama. The humour is dark, but it's effective and offset with some very sad moments that pull on the heart-strings.

The two main characters are deeply lonely and unhappy people who are caught in a monotonous self-destructive cycles in their lives. It's something that most of us can relate to on some level and that's what makes it so effective and meaningful - we see ourselves or at least our feelings/experiences in the characters in some way. Through meeting each other and their shared experiences the characters are able to find purpose and meaning in their lives and realise the most important thing in life - they are not alone.

The 8 half an hour episodes that make up the season will take you on wild journey, but you won't be disappointed. The story is well-paced, funny, shocking, sad and riveting and will take you through the whole spectrum of human emotion. It also has a very satisfying ending which doesn't leave any kind of loose ends or a bitter taste in the mouth, which is rare to find with shows these days.

Overall, I'd recommend Russian Doll to everybody. The first episode may not sell you on it, but give it a chance to get into the nitty gritty. Whether you love or hate Nadia (she is like marmite), you'll find yourself getting more and more attached to her and sympathetic towards her as you learn more about her back-story and experience the traumas she has to endure.",8
"I can't understand how it can get 8.4 rating. Technically great, I mean, high level images and direction. But: first of all, why would Nolan add the past and future in all of his movies? I didn't find any empathy, emotions, with respect to other war movies. The final reminds me of the usual war movies made in US. And two actors as Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy, almost not showing at all. I acknowledge Inception and Interstellar are great movies, although not 'my type', but this is not a great movie as they said.",3
"The reason why movies generally from Indian subcontinent are super long is because of unnecessary long comedic exchange between characters which amounts to nothing in the story, Item dance (Sensual) which doesn't offer anything to the plot.

Even if its a serious movie and the story is going in a flow its disturbed by things like this.

Kaithi excels in these departments, it had one goal and no distractions.

Personally I think stories which are completed within 24 hours are the best.

After reading the synopsis I thought there will be a past to the Main male lead which is almost repetitively similar to every other movie with anti-heroes. But was surprised when Kaithi delivered the backstory in just under a minute without dragging the story.

Overall not a single moment in the movie felt unnecessary at least to me.",10
"Watching this movie is no different to watching one on PS4 game, senseless killing, bad narrative, terrible acting and as for the plot, the less we discuss that the better. I couldn't carry on watching and it's not often I do this when a movie is a sequel and has high rating.",2
"The acting is ridiculous, a normal person would not do any of the things the to soldiers did, like walk towards the planes having a dogfight. The hype of this movie is so over rated, I was keen to walk out of the cinema but thought surely something exciting must happen soon - it never did",3
"It truly feels like the 80s: Great music, acting, writing, etc! Lots of heart. Combines sci-fi, action, drama, comedy, horror, and romance! All in one.

Only reason it's not 10/10 is the stupid LGBT agenda in season 3. Yeah spoiler alert they screw up a sub plot with some bs agenda. F them.",8
"This is.... Was.... Admirably!

I'm absolutely delighted!

I don't want to write, it's a huge review of Barbie, therefore: ""Barbie"" is a great philosophical film to think about and laugh about.

I think that this tape will appeal to everyone, from collectors of Barbie dolls and those who rummage around in the Barbie universe (like me, for example) and ending with those people who do not know anything about it at all.

Margot Robbie is the perfect Barbie; Ryan Gosling is silly, but chic and perfect Ken. Their tandem is gorgeous, every time they were, together; I was very pleased to see them.

Also, I was very pleased to see John Cena, Dua Lipa and Kate McKinnon. They're gorgeous.

The jokes in Barbie are orious, and in the finale I roared.

The plot is excellent, interesting, easy and, as I wrote above, philosophical.

I haven't watched Oppenheimer yet, but I already think that Barbie is a more serious film against it!

The soundtrack of ""Barbie"" is wonderful; I listen to it every day now.

In general, I did not notice the disadvantages of Barbie, but noticed some advantages.

As a result, ""Barbie"" is an ideal, wonderful film to laugh and be sad and think.

I put the tape 10 out of 10 and if you have it in cinemas, then run and watch it!

IT'S WORTH WATCHING ON THE BIG SCREEN!!

REVISION IN CINEMA!!

Well, let me remind you for those who have forgotten or for those who have not read my last review of «Barbie» that in July of this year I watched it in a soapy but normal screen.

After watching it, I was delighted and decided that I had to go to the cinema and watch this film again.

And finally, today (September 9), the unofficial show of «Barbie» officially began, and just today I went to it!

Even the price of 500 rubles did not stop me, because when I watched the screen, I understood that it is better to see such a movie on the big screen!

In short, my opinion has not changed!

«Barbie» - is still a great philosophical film to think about and laugh at.

I think this is the end of it, because I don't want to write the same thing as in July!

I will add that I am still delighted with this film and I again give it 10 out of 10 and again I want to recommend it for viewing, especially in the cinema!

Because, if you compare viewing in the cinema and in the screens, then these are completely different things and in the cinema I got even more emotions and delight from this film!

P. S: Well, now I'm waiting for «Oppenheimer», but I don't know when I'm going to see it, haha.",10
Otherwise a good series. Worth a watch. The lead actor was good and the actors who played his 2 best friends did a great job. For some reason it seemed that the character of Jeetu was trying too hard to be a people pleaser. Some of the scenes of him making the students repeat in unison about life hacks were a little cringe.,8
"Overall, this show is really well done, and I have really enjoyed it.

I love the actors; I think they are all great fits for their characters. Benedict Cumberbatch especially does an amazing job as Sherlock. The stories are interesting, the cinematography is great, etc.

But having to wait years for three new episodes is what kills me. I have completely lost interest in this show after waiting for so long. Some shows take half a year off between seasons, but this is just ridiculous.

I don't think I'll be watching the next season, or the Christmas special.",8
"The ""vampires"" in this show are not damaged by sunlight. They hold meetings in churches, where the cross and holy water seem to have no repellent effect. Probably these ""vampires"" like to munch on garlic bread and would choose a wooden stake through the heart as a suitable body modifying adornment.",2
"So far basically this series is about as interesting as watching paint dry. The censorship ship that they use and in this particular marvel series eliminate the violence completely, makes this really hard to stay interested. Probably 1 of the worst marvel series I've ever seen but so far but all of them have been bad lately. I feel bad for our future generation to have to weed through all of this garbage marvel crap to find one decent series out there... if it ever comes.",3
I gave up after the 2nd episode. I really tried hard not to fall asleep. The main character is annoyingly stupid oftentimes when he is in normal self mode. This show is for the Hard core fans...,2
"The first half of this movie had me so intrigued! I enjoy every second of the first half....and then it just started going down hill. There's such confusing flashbacks from them and now, and there is really no climax nor does the second half really even have a story line. Really really overrated. Honestly seemed like an ordinary movie that Netflix would pick up- if it weren't so overrated I could have maybe enjoyed the movie for what it was",3
"The Witcher is a Book Adaptation of the novels of Andrzej Sapkowski and is about a Monster Hunter called Geralt of Riva and his struggle to survive in a dark Fantasy World filled with Monsters, Racism, Intrigue and betrayal. There is also magic, love, the tragedy of losses and a lot of critical annotations about wealth and warmongering et cetera.

So overall a great story which is very cleary hinted as to take place in central, eastern and northern european folklore. There are for Example Werewolves, Vampires, European Dragons, living Trees, Spirits of Rivers and Forests, Berserkers, norsemen and so on, while it is mostly lacking of asian, african or american creatures. Even the city names are a complete reference to eastern Cities. Combine Stalingrad and Novgorod and you get Novigrad for example.

I only mention this because it is very irritating to see a cast that is mostly black, brown or asian in a world so totally dominated by medieval eastern europe. In this aspect the books and games have been 'diversed' or should i say 'netflixxed', because we all knew before this was bound to happen.

It is also quite annoying that the white characters are mostly the villains in the show. Despite Geralt and Ciri there are almost no 'good' white characters...

But now to the real critics: One aspect that is so annoying that i just cannot ignore it is the lack of detail. The Witchers were never supposed to be beautiful, Geralt and the other witchers are mutants. Even in the games the characters look way too good but here they look even better. The Idea of the whole book series was that half-Monsters hunt Monsters. The Witchers are creatures with pale skin, cat eyes, inhuman reflexes, veins popping out, children hide from them. They are mostly being treated like dangerous dogs and therefore lack any empathy for humans, elves or dwarves and are only interested in payment. Geralt occasionally being the EXCEPTION not the average. This was totally forgotten in the show.

Also the Monsters themselves. A Witcher prepares before facing a monster and not just randomly walks in on them. A whole episode with 50min length should be about Accepting a job, preparing for it and completing it. Instead the monsters only take a few minutes of screen time if they even appear at all. This is the story of a monster hunter is it not? A guy that hunts monsters for a living. So please show us how he does it and not the drama of wizards, courts and princesses. Show us how he gathers herbs, sets traps, talks with locals, reads in books. Show us the victims of the monster attacks. Create some tension, add some action scenes and in the middle of it you can have your sidestories.

As i asked before in the header: Is this really the witcher? When a knight in shining armor, that looks and acts like a Prince saves Princesses or other people from monsters without ever getting injured and not preparing for them at all? No not in my opinion. Only the name is there.",7
"I couldn't really get into the show when it was being released but now after a few years I went back to it to try and finish it. From finishing the show I can say that it was very fun to watch, some scenes dragged out I will say, the characters had a nice development from what I saw. The visuals and the music are good, the team did a good job and this!",7
"So bad! 2 hrs wasted! Stupid trama and bad final, can't believe rating more than 5..",3
"It's gonna be....carnage.

The post credit sequence of the 2018 franchise starter created a lot of excitement. Firstly because of the promise that one of Marvel's most popular villains was finally getting a big screen debut, and secondly that Woody Harrelson had been cast in the part.

I said before this film that Harrelson has been in some films that were not great, but I have yet to see him turn in a bad performance.

This is true here. With limited background included in the script his performance is energetic and outlandish enough to capture the heart of the character, but not enough time or focus is given to him to really show the level of threat the character has always had.

In terms of the title character, Hardy returns where we left him as ""looser"" Eddie Brock who is having issues with his intrusive room mate.

The back and forth between Eddie and Venom that was popular in the first film returns. The humour mostly lands but it does feel like the troupe is a little overused at times.

The plot is pretty simplistic, and could have been so much richer giving better service to its two leads and a criminally underused Naomie Harris. The story is restricted and seems to have been sacrificed for a shorter screen time.

This is a movie that promised and lot, but the delivery left me wanting more, and not in a way that I wanted it too.",6
"A surprisingly good show. It has so many turning points that makes you confused, which makes it very exciting all the way. The story is good because it is very rich in content and unpredictable. I have watched Oscar Isaac in a couple of other movies, but he really impressed me in this show. He puts 100 % effort in his role, which is convincing for the story. The CGI is mostly great, and the music presents the movie style and the culture in a good way. The action is awesome and intense, especially the fighting choreography. A very completed show. Really recommending!",8
"I got into the theater with zero expectations, and I can only say I was very positively surprised.

I loved the comedy in this movie as I think I haven't had that much fun in a while. And the other thing I love about this is that because the movie is a goofy comedy, you don't have to take the everything too seriously and you just go with it, and you enjoy the comedic ride all the way through the movie.

On the other hand, the movie also provides a lot of criticism towards the many flaws in our society and all through the movie you find things, that reflect that, and I believe they are portrayed perfectly.

Without spoiling to much I would recommend the movie to anyone as on the one hand I think it produces a lot of important messages and on the other I can't think of anyone who wouldn't enjoy the comedic experience.",9
"I have a tendency not to compare the Coen brothers to other directors, seeing as they are among the most unique filmmakers in the world, but it is fair to say Fargo is their Pulp Fiction: a work of startling originality (in fact, their first truly original screenplay, rewarded with an Oscar) that showed they could do more than merely revisit classic genres, so brilliant the Academy chose to overlook it (the Best Picture award for 1996 was infamously given to The English Patient). It's a playful, exhilarating and shocking piece of cinema - the brothers' masterpiece.

The film's playfulness is exposed in the very beginning, as the opening caption states ""This is a true story"" (which, of course, it isn't). After that, it's straight into the action: three men talking in a diner. One of them is Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy), a car dealer whose financial troubles have led him to the hiring of the other two, Carl Showalter (Steve Buscemi) and Gaear Grimsrud (Peter Stormare). They are meant to kidnap Jerry's wife and ask his father-in-law Wade Gustafson (Harve Presnell) to pay a ransom which will be split in half between crooks and employer. However, just like in Reservoir Dogs (which also starred Buscemi), the best laid plans get screwed up beyond belief, resulting in a bloodbath that contrasts nicely with the snowy surroundings.

While Carl and Gaear keep getting in trouble and Jerry has to pretend everything is all right, the cops intervene as well; specifically, one cop, Marge Gunderson (the Oscar-winning Frances McDormand, aka Mrs. Joel Coen), whose natural kindness and determination make her the ideal choice for the job despite her being eight months pregnant.

Marge is one of the best film characters of the '90s, and undoubtedly the Coens' finest creation: whereas the protagonists of their previous movies were clever reinterpretations of genre types, she is a flesh-and-blood human being, with real emotions and a heart of gold. Her unique status as the only really good person in the film adds to the several endearing traits of McDormand's humane, warm performance. She is the audience's guide in a darkly humorous universe, populated by dishonest con-men, funny-talking prostitutes (the accents are supposedly of Scandinavian origin) and the psychotic Gaear, played by a career-best Stormare, whose double act with the fast-talking Buscemi adds to the in-joking since he is the only real Scandinavian in a movie full of fake Swedes and Danes (Lundegaard and Gustafson).

The unique setting of the film (apparently, the Coens' home region) plays really well to the brothers' knack for funny names (apart from the ones that have already been mentioned, one should remember that of Marge's husband, Norm ""Son of a"" Gunderson), quirky characters and sudden, brutal violence. The result is a once-in-a-lifetime blend of thriller, comedy and horror movie, the best film of 1996 and a milestone in (post)modern film-making. It may not be a true story, but why nag about that when the Coens' imagination is much more satisfying?",10
The more and more I watched it the more confusing it got.,3
"I just saw this one. Though it was corny and I can see why many disliked it, I couldn't stop laughing. Whether the jokes were good or bad, I laughed and that is good enough for me to call it good. I was surprised as well by how well done it was. The quality was excellent. I guess if I was in a bad mood, this movie wouldn't be half as good, but I thought it to be enjoyable and would recommend it for the parents and kids to enjoy. Granted, everything in it is historically incorrect but that's the fun part! I give Tom Hanks a lot of credit for making this a good flick, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it was the best movie of all time and a beautiful piece of art, but a movie doesn't have to be beautiful to be good.",7
"On many fronts Uri is fresh, for example, the aesthetics of a war movie considering movies of the west as benchmark was kept and it made it look real. Vicky Kaushal performed as if he was in Army before joining films. The cinematographer takes the prize for me as the way the combat scenes and gun shots were captured is something which was not seen yet in Bollywood. A powerful no nonsense movie that will leave you pumping at the end. How is the Josh!!!!",10
"My Rating : 5/10

I loved 'Black Hawk Down' and 'Extraction' is similar in execution although not as great, of course.

The plot is average so everything rests on the capable Hemsworth who drives it forward with his brutally gorgeous fight scenes, it's acceptable but there's not much going on otherwise.

If you like action, helicopters and combat sequences, 'Extraction' may be your thing.",5
"I probably liked it more than it deserves but I did enjoy it a lot. Although CZJ looks the part, I thought she was terrible. The Gomez character could not have possibly been cast worse. He literally ruins the show for me. And fester was a terrible casting as well. I also didn't like thing. Of course I am comparing it to the cast from the movie, and nobody will be able to touch them in a million years, but these don't even come close. Again, Wednesday, knocks it out of the park and the rest of the cast besides her siblings do too. I'll definitely watch season 2 when it comes out. I just really hope they recast Gomez.",8
Started watching the with great expectation. But didn't get any satisfaction. The cinematography is like game play. Casting is not upto mark. Specially the Bangladesh people were speak as if they were indian.. It is far ayay from realistic. The set maker and The director of this movie has no experience and no idea about Bangladesh. Asian Audience will not accept this..,3
"""American Fiction"" is a captivating exploration of the intricacies of the human condition set against the backdrop of contemporary America. Through its poignant storytelling and stellar performances, the film offers a thought-provoking examination of identity, morality, and the pursuit of the American dream. With its richly drawn characters and expertly crafted narrative, ""American Fiction"" keeps viewers engaged from beginning to end. While it may not be without its minor flaws, the film's ability to provoke introspection and spark meaningful conversations more than compensates. For those seeking a cinematic experience that challenges perceptions and leaves a lasting impression, ""American Fiction"" is a must-watch.",8
There's still a lot of places this show could go and it should continue to another season. Lots of whiny millennials leaving reviews by the looks of it. Don't think they have the mental aptitude to understand the show. 😂,9
At first I didn't used to be a spidey fan. I would watch the animated TV series and not really understand it. I watched the first movie and didn't really like it but this movie got the job done for me. After a couple months of wait I finally got to rent this on DVD as I missed it theatres. Spiderman is a character that was hard for me to understand it it took a little looking into for me to get on the wagon. This was a really good movie. I liked this movie because we get a DECENT villain in this one. Doctor Octopus is a great villain with a touch of genius. Tobey M. does a nice job of playing spidey in this film as I think he got the role down better. I also like how this movie brilliantly ties into the first one with the Green Goblin storyline. Kirsten Dunst plays Mary Jane once again. I felt MJ was toned down a bit and I felt she wasn't quite involved like the first one. I guess that was the film's direction. The action sequences between Doc Oc and Spiderman are first class here and the CGI is done at a reasonable level. The storyline was gripping as I think the plot was just too good to hate. I liked the fact that Peter Parker proves he can be a hero without his spidey powers and the scene where he proves it is a really well made scene (my favorite scene in the movie). Loose ends are met here from the first one and the end leaves room for S3. I'm glad they got this movie just right and I'm glad I watched this movie. This is the movie that got me hooked on Spider-man so S2 gets a thumbs up from me.,8
Solid movie✊ just like Indian army. The best thing about the movie is everything about the movie,8
"This movie indeed was magic! What was so magic? Well, removed the special effects and ... POOF! ... nothing left! JK is rolling in clover and one wouldn't grudge her that, but recycling the wide-eyed characters of Harry Potter films requires no imagination. This film left us literally yawning, hoping it would get better. No luck there.

Many, many movies are escapist entertainment, rather than high art. That's okay, Hollywood does amazing things with sound and images, and the product doesn't always have to be profound to be well worthwhile. However, this rehash was as entertaining as television wrasslin', with none of the charmingly ingenious characters.

Ideal if you're entertaining very young children. Aside from that, less fun than watching people at the mall.",1
"Shazam! Is an ok film, the story is not too bad but it never lives up to its potential.",6
"This movie could've been told in half the time. It is the definition of self indulgent. There are a couple lovely sequences, but this film could have been told in 35or 40 minutes and not be over two hours it is. If I was in a theatre I think I would have walked out. Although I love the actors, and the ideas I cannot recommend this film.",2
"Basic elements such as continuity in shot selection, as well as lighting design are lacking here. This doesn't surprise me, although it disappoints. I'll continue to watch because the story line is interesting enough, the writing is decent and the overall casting is solid. I hope it doesn't get to cute with the plot twists. Keep it simple, yet intelligent.",6
"Selena Gomez, Martin Short and Steve Martin did an excellent job. It's a complete mixture of comedy and suspense. It really got me to think about what could their secrets be.",10
"And it was still crap. Like some people cant understand the low reviews, I can't understand the high reviews. This is just another overrated marvel tv show. It doesn't do anything new or groundbreaking, perhaps it's a different take on the marvel universe but nothing special. But it doesn't even need to be special, it just shouldn't be boring and cliche'.",1
"Adam Sandler should stop making movies. Period! This is a farce, saved a bit by Jennifer Aniston. The story, or lack of it, makes this one of the worst movies of the year. Watch this if you've had a bottle of wine.. cause only then is this even tolerable.",1
"Ignore all low scores. Show is great. Robot is my fave already. Changes from the original are great so far. Loved the Oreo's, Tar pit scene, & so much more. Endless what they could do with this -- time travel, different species, guest stars, new crew members, subplots, other survivors, how will they get home, new technologies to survive hostiles, allies, nemeses, run in with robot creators, flashbacks, snapshot of future episodes, parallel worlds, adventure after adventure even better than before. Enjoy",9
"I don't watch much tv, and it's becoming harder to find a decent show or movie to stream. I fell asleep watching Knives Out, but when I saw Edward Norton I HAD to watch this. He is such a good actor, and he still can deliver. The acting was so diverse & upbeat. Glass Onion was very fun to watch, and the casting was brilliant down to the cameos. I was running in circles the whole time trying to figure the mystery out. It didn't have the doom & gloom like Criminal Minds but more lighted hearted & humorous. I was highly entertained. I will definitely be buying this movie for my collection! It was so good I'm going to try Knives Out again (currently watching).",9
"Came here after finishing Falcon And The Winter soldier and i have to say WandaVision was better. Sure the first two episodes of WandaVision are a snooze fest, but it's needed to make the future episodes even better. The ending could have been a little better but overall this show is solid and is slightly above average for the MCU. I would give it a 8/10 .",8
"i have watched most of the imitation anime on American TV...an i can truthfully say most of it is superficially anime, just the superdeformaty, the still backgrounds, reused cells, and the same antics of American cartoons put in ""anime"" form. almost none of them really fit in the anime structure of animations.

avatar is a great exception. first of all, if you watch with out the sound, it feels like an anime, the colors aren't overly bright, the movements are real feeling and the action sequences remind me of such great fighting animes like Ranma 1/2 and akura and many other action stories. then you watch with the sound, the characters are young, but not stupid, and unlike most cartoons, the adults are not total retards and the kids to stupid things that kids do, they make mistakes and they depend on each-other and the few adults they do meet in their journey. the chara's evolve though the situations, they have doubt and troubles, they have love they have hate...even aang shows jealousy at one point and does a mean and selfish thing to keep sokka and kitara as his companions.

and that's not even mentioning the plot that keeps me entranced despite having watched and read a ton of stories in the same vein.

i believe that this is a step in the right direction for American animation. i only wish more of the studios would follow in nick's feet and make better animations that attract all ages.",10
"The CGI may have been better than homecoming, but that means nothing when the story has barely an impact. Homecoming had a great character arc for peter while being fun to watch and motivational.

Far From Home takes all of that away with a flavorless adventure . For the producers making the 3rd entry for spiderman, please review homecoming to make the best movie for this amazing character.",3
I cannot believe this movie was nominated for an Oscar let alone that many Oscars!! There is no script because the film is basically a musical with acting vignettes stitched through. The performances of the actors range from okay to plain hokey and there is no character development or depth. It's basically a Lady Gaga concert film. I do suggest a sequel that focuses on her dad and his fellow limo drivers. They were the best part of the movie! Truly awful film.,2

"*Spoilers* Every IMAXX documentation on space is more thrilling than this flick. I was soo happy when it was over and I didn't have to listen to Sandra Bullock's wheezing no more, and Clooney was as boring as usual. I can give only

one point for the Earth images


one point for the ISS crash


half a point for space floating - half a point for the dream (the only realistic action of this movie) And that's it.


And then I go on and wonder: a. Why the astronaut did not learn techniques to calm herself? b. Why the commander did not try to rescue himself as long as the chance was given and pull himself in when they were tangled in the ribbon of the chute? c. Why didn't the other one, realizing that the ribbons start to loosen, use her other leg to wrap them around? ...",3
I just say this is a normal movie with a known story and nothing new. Multiple story lines are good to show all aspects but may also disturb you thinking and the whole story actually is a little bit boring since there are no many worlds. The camera view of all battles are great and looks real.,6
"Is my hero academia good or amazing ? It's just good. I don't know what's so great when it's story is predictable n boring. I think atleast fights will be a cool. But most of the fight scenes are boring. Shota vs Deku is my favorite action part in whole series. Deku is one of the worst protagonist I have ever seen. Thank God it has some addictive visuals so that I have come this far. If you think iam a hater, I don't care.",8
"Although it does represent prison life in the 1940s and Robbins does a great job , this movie failed to entertain me. The movie is very well done, but the ending is silly and predictable. I don't understand the hype .",5
"""Devs"" (8 eps, 1hr, Hulu) is a stylish single season mini-series that's all about fate and determinism if that's your thing. It's got a glossy though melancholy sheen to it, accentuated by eerie discordant instrumentals and Catholic chanting throughout. The lead ""Lily Chan"" character is lackluster and androgynous as are most of the other primaries since the limited series is more about themes than characters. However, let me point out that Alison Pill who plays Katie in this is hot off of a primary role in ""Star Trek: Picard"" which I had just finished prior to Devs, so that was weird. Anyway, Devs is more about fate, determinism, and free will. I'm sure it'll be discussed in Philosophy 101 classes going forward. However, its underlying ""star"" is the Devs' idealized quantum computer and the massive data store at its disposal which provides the reality simulation the series is cloaked in. It's all very intriguing till the end where it skews ridiculous, as so often happens with drama series these days. It's as if the writers were time-forced into a hasty conclusion so eps 9 and 10 are disappointing. Ever since the conclusion of ""LOST"" it seems epic dramas simply cannot end with the same satisfaction you've enjoyed through its run. This should've been an outstanding mini-series, but instead it's just decent, not a waste yet not highly recommended.",7
"We made the mistake of watching this dreadful movie on Christmas night. I cannot believe that the critics and viewers gave it such high marks. The plot was contrived, the characters utterly unappealing, lines were mumbled, and ultimately we felt it was a huge waste of our time. Should have watched ""Christmas Vacation"", ""Love Actually"" or ""A Wonderful Life"" instead of this depraved film. The original Knives Out was more entertaining. If you want a true whodunit, watch a film based on Agatha Christy or Sherlock Holmes instead of this excessive abomination. The ""Glass Onion"" reeks like a rotten one!",2
"So: 9 stars for the 1st season, 8 - for the 2nd; with the bar set so high, sorry - 3rd season is complete and utter failure, 2 stars at most. If you just starting to watch the whole franchise - stop after 2nd season. PS: I would keep it 5 stars, but the 3rd season finale deserves its own negative star.",4
I like this show quite a lot but in my opinion it is a bit overrated and can sometimes feel like high school musical but if you like the 80s and sci-fi/horror this is for you.,7
Very slow. Massive holes in the plot. Cinematography was like a guy with a camera following the actor around a battlefield. No idea how this won awards.,2

"The camera work, graphics, music and the acting are all top-notch. Unfortunately the plot is kinda ho-hum and makes no sense in parts. There's a few really inappropriate scenes involving graphic sex, dialogue regarding body parts, a scene involving a cat, graphic violence... they added nothing at all to the story. I found myself shaking my head like 5-6 times saying ""why did you need to include that?!?""",5

"Incredibly disappointing this episode. I've been waiting for the whole film to finally start a breathtaking story. But that did not happen.

It was as if I were presented with a 16-course dinner, of which I still do not know what I have been eaten. And what the consistency is in the menu.

There was no storyline to discover. Nice effects though But we had seen those before.

Someone who has no prior knowledge of Harry Potter or jk Rowling has nothing to look for in the cinema. But also the potterheads will find it difficult to detect something of a story or connection. Let alone trace the various characters back into this incoherent whole.

I am sorry, very sorry. I would have rather waited a little longer for a part 1 worthy sequel.",2
"When a meaningful actor turns into producer, there are some expectations raised and we expect good stuff, and that's what Anushka delivers here, just like Pari (though it was a latter production of hers), she is going into genres we are used to seeing in Hollywood only. A trip gone wrong type of movie ends up being in Bhoot Bungalow in most of Bollywood films, but this crime thriller is set in the backdrop of Haryana's honour killings and the script is straight forward and tight, doesn't go into unnecessary excess and though some critics wished for a more struggle-laden climax, it chooses not to be so and leaves aside any poetic component to it. I give it a 7.5/10, at times we are not in a mood to watch certain kinds of movies, and 1/4th into the movie I thought of some other options as I was maybe not in a mood to watch this particular type on a Saturday afternoon, but I stuck to it and I enjoyed it.

"This TV series is finally a well done. I do not like TV series a lot, in all my life I have only recommended Breaking Bad and ... Chernobyl. Yes, you must go for it.

Three plots in parallel, a state in decay, the political one, another, the nuclear accident, the radiation and its effects, and the third one, the people, the pain. All three well balanced, no excess at all, but clear.

Technical details well explained, not difficult to undertand. The right pace, the right set. I hate series when they are longer than needed, this is not the case: 5 episodes, no less, no more.

Real recordings. Lead, geiger counters, radiation burns,... And the final episode closes it amazingly well: I do not know how many times I have been through wikipedia, videos, webpages, forums, and there you have a guy explaining it so simply, playing with stupid color plastic chips...

Dress, scenarios, performances... And the main characters, main actors. great job.

I will never give a 10 to anything in my life, but this one, if so, this would be my 10. A short secret, I have seen all episodes at least twice in 5 days :). The last episode already 4 times?",9
"I decided to write a review because I'm seeing a lot of complains about the movie's content. The people who are complaining about too much sex, have never seen Basic Instinct, Fatal Attraction, or even Fifty Shades, the sex scenes are very well done, and not just thrown into the movie to entertain you, they are part of the movie sequence and plot.

Also, the gore. Excuse me, what gore? I have seen more blood on Japanese movies or the Saw franchise, the Kill Bill movies had 80% more violence and blood than this film. The movie is rated R for a reason, meaning it contains violence, sex, strong language and more. If you are not prepared for this, then don't go to see R rated movies! Simple as that.

Red Sparrow reminds me of the Salt movie with Angelina Jolie, they are both Russian spies, and that's where the similarities end, because Red Sparrow is more about psychological intelligence than action or fighting. If you like spy movies, thrillers, smart plots and Jennifer Lawrence, go see this movie, and decide for yourself if you like it or not.",8
I may have walked out before the good stuff but this movie put me to sleep and I left. Ii'll try again on rental. Terentino usually does not compete with everyone.

"This is a good series to watch.

The subject is nothing new and the writer inteded to create something that is a mix of the following: 1. The Adjustment Bureau (2011); 2. X-Men; and 3. John Whick

The production did manage to keep things interesting, it is hard to antecipate what is coming and the plot is smart.

However it appears that cost cutting on the story line has resulted in a -2 from 10 over 10 for this one: there are characters who appear in many episodes (cost cutting) and achieve much more than conceiveable for their character (cost cutting again). It could have been accepted if this was a movie with limited duration. But for the time available in a series, defnitely much better could have been achieved.",8

Extraction was a Netflix exclusive movie and I thought it was amazing and the action and suspense in the movie were great! I do wish we got more of a backstory and in detail of Chris Hemsworth character Tyler Rake. There were a lot of action scenes that were really good and had a lot of scenes that were emotional. The ending of the movie was surprising but also a good lead into extraction 2 which is supposed to appear next year in 2023. We will see where it goes and what characters they will introduce and see if they bring back or replace any of the characters from the first film. Overall a solid 7/10.,7
"Yes I didn't enjoy the movie because the expectations were too high , the reason I went to see it was because it was averaged 9\10 on IMDb, no I didn't believe the character, the concept it self is worthy but I was constantly waiting for the movie to start something edgy to watch, I got bored on the forceful overacting of some characters , the movie was nasty, the uncle and little boys reactions were inappropriate, I don't know why Indian people are praising the movie when most of it was stupid and nasty, why? Is this the new taste, if it is its not worth it, events in the movie weren't big enough to engage, the fact that rajkumar rao had a small role was a plus because now we can say not only katrina kaif gets to be the small fit, the message of representing black, Russian and Japanese people was good and how ud rather be with them than a bad Indian which people in India wouldn't know because they haven't interacted with overall it was a failed attempt to represent the aspects approriately abit more needed in middle story though covered Indian people in foreign life rawly as some things haven't been brang out that it did with dialogues, needs a higher standard due to high entertainment from utube vids",1
"Potter fans will do their nut, the rest of us will wonder what all the hype was about...

Just the other day I went to the United Artists theater to see a weekend screening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. I found it intriguing that so many millions have been made in ticket sales for what is essentially a mediocre film.

Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter is the mainstay of this latest rendition of a story that has been stretched taut a long time ago. That they have been able to breathe new life into a 7th version of this claptrap is quite astounding.

Harry Potter #7 offers nothing new and its 2 hours + running time could be better spent enjoying Russel Crowe's Next Three Days or even Skyline. If it's value for money you're after then this is a little shy of the mark.

It's much ado about nothing really. Harry and co are searching for a magical sword and some funky amulets that need to be destroyed. That's it. The special effects are hardly noteworthy and this reviewer is already bored at having to do a write-up on this title.",4
"Normally 1 point but I give 4 points for Tobey Maguire...

To me, who grew up with Tobey's Spider-Man movies, Spider-Man movies that come after are just a disgrace. I've never loved these characters, and never will, these stories. Seeing Tobey's Spider-Man universe in this movie just made me happy, other than that everything is still very bad.

I wish Spider-Man 4 had continued and Tobey had remained our Spider-Man. Seeing him made me very emotional. We miss you so much. You will always remain real Spider-Man to us.",4
What a movie... From the start to end of the movie I have been just watching this amazing movie. Not a single flaw. Brilliant is the word for the writer and director of this movie. All actors have really worked hard.,10
"After 10 mins of watching the special effects this movie is just boring - even then the special effects are so over engined it feels fake and I wonder why they used actors at all....it has barely a plot/ Storyline it was like a book for 2 year olds especially not one that can sustain 3 hours of entertainment. What is there is hackneyed and repetitive.

Ended up walking out of the theatre after 2 hours as I just couldn't sit there any longer watching the drivel. I cannot understand how so many people have rated this so highly. I won't even bother watching the rest of this movie when it is streamed.",2
"It is impossible to rate this without a comparison to GOT. In this, one has the early years of the kingdoms, with intrigue and plotting to see who will sit on the Iron Throne. It builds over the season, to a high point at the end. One has deceit, treachery, lies and determination that a Queen will never sit on the Iron Throne. Women were to provide male heirs, and often that was brutal for them. There is a lot to like in this season, but a lot will depend on what one is looking for. If one relishes the conflict and battles of GOT, this is rather sedate. There certainly is the high mark of excellence in the production, although the background information on the Blu-ray is not extensive. It is more cerebral compared to the visceral experience of GOT. Certainly a lot more dragons.",7
"I was also so excited about seeing this film. I read the book and loved it so I had high expectations for the film. When I watched the film I was so disappointed with the whole thing. What was the point off changing the story? The book was excellent. The dad's not supposed to talk to Pat. The dad's supposed to treat the mum really badly. What about the time problem, where Pat thinks he's been gone for a couple of months though t had been 4 years? That was a huge part of the story just left out! Also Nikki's not supposed to be part of the plan. And why does Danny keep getting out of the ""bad place"" . Also there dance is supposed to be amazing and be against kids without scoring. Etc... why change a great story and make a such a rubbish film. The few stars I gave it are for the acting.",3
I loved the way it begun and ended. Really a must watch series if you have a knack for it,10
"Jury Duty reminded me of the old Spike TV show ""The Joe Schmo Show"". It was the same premise everyone except for 1 person was a plant on a reality TV survivor type show.

The biggest difference aside from the is show taking place in a court room is that the plants don't break character behind the scenes. They have conversations in character even if the person that is not aware of the show being fake isn't paying attention to them.

The only thing not explained is why there is a camera crew and why they are talking to them during the non court room scenes. I think that would be pretty hard to convince someone that they should be talking to any crew about anything when they were already told not to discuss things outside of the room.",8
"This movie is way too long. The majority of the movie is so slow and boring that I have a difficult time believing Spielberg had anything to do with it.

There are some solid performances in the movie, but you forget all of that while begging for the movie to move forward.

My favorite part was the last five minutes. The movie ends with a bit of a bang. Nothing too over-the-top, but it does deliver a quick punch that will bring a smile to a viewer's face.

I'm not sure how this movie receiving the accolades and recognition that it did. It must of been more for Spielberg's body of work than this long drawn semi-autobiographical story.",4
"This was a breathtaking dramatisation of the horrors and chaos following a nuclear power plant disaster. It was 6 hours spanned over 5 weeks and compulsive viewing. Every programme in this series rattled my conscience in a way that few have in the past. Like so many people, I thought I had a fairly good idea of what happened following this nuclear power plant tragedy in 1986. But, on reflection, after watching this series, I realize I didn't.

The set depicting the Soviet Union at that time, the cast of actors playing the main characters, and very realistically portrayed.",7
"My wife and I left about 80 minutes into the movie. The first 10 minutes shows a pair of soldiers trying to get off the beach on to a boat to England by any way possible, fair or foul. It shows planes flying in formation, breaking off formation, a pilot's eye view of a hard turn, a close up of the pilot, and some gunfire from a plane. It shows the goings-on aboard a small civilian boat heading to Dunkirk to rescue trapped soldiers. It shows a military boat sinking from a bomb or a torpedo, men jumping overboard, and others struggling not to drown. The next ten minutes shows the same thing, as does the next ten minutes, the ten minutes after that, and ... you get the idea. After about our fourth round of ""we've seen this already, and this is going nowhere"", we left. The ""trapped underwater"" scenes are very disturbing even if deaths are avoided or not shown.

The beach, sea and aerial scenes are on different timelines that I assume converge at the end, but it can be very disorienting to jump from day to night and back again between scenes not knowing where the three timelines are relative to one another. There were a few instances of coming into a scene knowing exactly what was about to happen because you had already seen it on another timeline.

I've seen 60-second commercials with more dialog and character development than this movie had 80 minutes in. What a waste of time and money.",2
This is great and you won't feel boring even for a second.,9
"Watched all 6 Episodes. Literally Awesome They Gave a Great Ending to the Show. Casting, Plot and Every Other Things are Totally Perfect. If there's Marvel, There's also a Suprise too !",9
"It made me laugh a couple of times, but thats it, this movie was a big disapointment.",5
It just like time pass series for marvel fans the remain will definitely bored So mine 7/10.,7
"Endless fights, mass destruction of property, mass robot villains, and shallow characters. A waste of time.",3
"This movie is amazing, and I'm quite frankly astounded that it's not rated higher sure, the story can get convoluted at times, but it's have by the action. The Russo brothers do an amazing job directing all of the fight scenes in the movie, to the point where they all stand out in a series of movie that is built on action. The Winter Soldier is a chilling villain that helps make for one of the more emotional endings in the MCU. Overall, if you have not seen it, please change that. It will keep you on the edge of your seat and entertained the entire way through.",10
"If you're wondering, this drama does not follow the story line of the previous Hannibal film franchise. However, it does not mean that the series doesn't pack its own punch in terms of tension and suspense. (I'm in such awe, I feel inadequate trying to leave a review for this show. I won't reveal any more than what is available on the wikipedia page.)

Following protagonist Agent Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) into his mind and peering into the distorted lives and actions of serial killers, he comes across as a highly intelligent but often conflicted man, tormented by his own imagination and yet has to live it each day for the greater good.

This sense of vulnerability and instability caused by his personality (largely introverted and antisocial) is preyed upon by his psychiatrist, famed Hannibal Lecter, excellently portrayed by Mads Mikkelsen, and as all this is played out, the audience, privy to this knowledge will be gripped by suspense, and the never ending tension, even on scenes where nothing appears to be happening, the mood takes on a somber and tense tone.

For those who are concerned with the relative 'low level of gore', be patient. It takes its time to build and slowly escalate, bringing Graham deeper into the shadows and mental torment.

I can't emphasize how good the acting is, how vivid and artistic the abstract dream and killing sequences are. the fact that the soundtracks are well selected and not obnoxious all plays a part in creating one of the best viewing experiences ever. As a fan of psychological horror, I feel privileged to be able to take a small peek at this show ahead of broadcast.",9
"THIS is the best Spider-Man movie (or Peter Parker movie, since Spider-Verse is perfect). Spider-Man 2 was my favorite Spidey film for a long time until I watched No Way Home. After that I thought, ""Is No Way Home BETTER than Spider-Man 2?"" I rewatched Spidey 2 a month later or two and I thought that no, Spider-Man 2 is still better. Here's why:

In NWH, I did enjoy that Tobey, Andrew, and all the villains came back but that's not the #1 thing I loved about NWH. It was actually Tom Holland's Peter Parker story and his progression as Spider-Man. However, I believe that Spider-Man 2 is the better Peter Parker story.

Firstly, the simplicity. I could care less about multiversal/ end of the world stories when it comes to Spider-Man. His best comics and stories are when things are simple because Spider-Man is meant to be an everyman. Someone like us who faces regular, everyday problems; he has as much human problems as his superhero problems, and sometimes they clash with each other. Spider-Man 2 is simple and just cause No Way Home has bigger things happening, doesn't make it better. A big movie doesn't mean a better movie.

Spider-Man 2 is an actual Spider-Man story because it's simple, like the comics. No high tech suit, no avengers involved or multiple Spider-Men, and no world ending problems. Just Peter Parker struggling with his personal life while trying to stop Doc Ock as Spider-Man. To me, that's all I need. Peter Parker struggles with everyday life with money troubles, relationships (girls and friends), with jobs, and all that jazz. THAT'S what makes Spider-Man fascinating: The relatable problems.

Secondly, is that this movie feels like an actual film. Say what you will but I didn't love that NWH was 80% CG and green screen. I'm fine if you wanna do those things unless if most of the film is done this way when some shots can be done in real locations. Also, the fact that it was done during the pandemic does not excuse it. There are SO many films shot around the same time that use real locations and look significantly better than NWH.

Overall, Spidey 2 is my favorite Spider-Man movie. It's not nostalgia that convinced me because NWH is my second favorite Spider-Man movie, over Spider-Man 1 and 3. It's just that in terms of filmmaking and in terms of the story, I prefer it over NWH. If you like NWH better, that's alright. You like what you like but as for me, I still stand with Spider-Man 2.",10
This is drama no superhero show Whole show is like oh our father this that boring.......,1
"I chose for today's review a movie I tried very hard to watch this Sunday. Unstoppable (2010) This movie for some unknown reason has actually a decent review on the IMDb. A 7 !!! However, after I was 10 minutes in the movie the 7 became a 5. After another 15 minutes the 5 became a 3, and it stayed a 3 till 10 minutes before the ending due to the fact that I stopped watching.

Why you ask.

This movie has no script, no plot, not a single line of dialog worth listening to, some of the shallowest characters that I have ever seen, and is filled with clichés. Once again two good hard working Americans fight to prevent some huge disaster ! However the greatness of the middle class working man manages to overcome the stupid evil capitalists, and through selfless acts save the day, despite the great depression of the American economy, and despite the fact that their personal lives have gone down the drain. All gets well in the end. They are heroes, their friends and families love them again, and their bosses think of them as gods.

The cast is good. However why they accepted to be in a movie with no scrip is beyond my knowledge. Tony Scott (the director), is directing the way a young film student would direct. Even though he is a very good director overall, and has worked on some quite good projects (like The Pillars of the Earth for example) this one did not work out for him. There are moments in the movie (like the Washington-Dawson-Train scene near the end) where I was actually laughing due to the terrible direction and dialog.

I guess that this move is so bad that you'll have to watch it to believe me. So go ahead and watch it ! I highly recommend it as the worst movie of this month.",3
"Yet another demonstration of Disney's commitment to wokeness and political correctness (as if it was not clear enough when they sacked Gina Carano). Please, keep your dirty totalitarian fingers out of the Marvel Universe!",1
All this good the movie had was ruined by Gaga's inability to act.,3
"Rather than bash other reviewers I'll just say what I thought of this movie, which is the point isn't it?

A fairly interesting, if unoriginal premise - unseen beings make you commit suicide when you look at them - starts off quickly, but unfortunately goes nowhere.

There are all the typical end-of-the-world cliches here folks. Do not expect anything new. The characters are the same generic group that you would expect and I swear they were yanked directly from the latest Dawn Of The Dead movie. The plot progresses pretty much as you'd expect with very little suspense and not even a single jump scare. While engaging, it never quite was enough to make me care about what was happening on the screen. And it moves slowly while it goes nowhere. When the end finally comes, it's pretty much what you'd expect and I even had a nice laugh at a very familiar hero name....

Worth a watch? Not really. There is far better fare out there for this genre that is better written, better acted and better directed. What should have been an average Outer Limits or Black Mirror episode is dragged out for over 2 hours and will leave you disappointed. Instead I would highly suggest watching an episode of the previous mentioned shows. Even an average one will only waste half the time this snore-fest will.",4
"Absolutely nothing like the book, Spielberg took all of the 80s culture out, didn't move you like in the book and took away the amagination of the characters, read the book, don't watch the movie.",4
"A firm action movie about the master of Wing Chun. The choreographer Sammo Hung, once the director of masterpiece The Prodigal Boy (1981), and the art director should be credited. However, the plot begins to drag on in the middle, fights are too many and turning to blindly patriotic. Ip Man, who fled China in 1949 because of his KMT background, suddenly becomes a national hero during in occupied Hong Kong.",5
"The ideas and questions of kidnapping and ethics presented in this film have great potential, but it folds under a weak script. At many points in the film, especially at the end, Afflec interrupts these points with things not as relevant to the story.

What are we supposed to walk away with after watching this film? For the majority of its duration, I thought it would be something significant as the story was heading in that direction, but I was ultimately let down.

Story flaws aside, the dialogue is quite atrocious and the acting did nothing to help this. Afflec's inexperience shows itself most abundantly here.

The overall style comes off rather trite and exaggerated as well:

The music is too melodramatic

The Boston heritage is overdone

The voice-overs don't complement the story (the narrative voice-overs are unnecessary and the transition voice-overs are excessive)

And finally, the characters are uninteresting. With the exception of the little girl, I don't care about any of them. Deaths happen frequently, but I feel no emotion when someone hits the bucket. Rather than being characters with wills and souls of their own, they are players in a pre-destined plot. Morgan Freeman gives an excellent performance as usual, but this is the first film I've seen him in where I am apathetic to his fate and purpose. This is an important, powerful, and moving story. Unfortunately, the film doesn't share these qualities..",4
Totally relate kr rhi hoon And specially inorganic wala dialogue 😂🔥,8
"Worst movie against hindus just like pk, they will never show allah cartoon but they all show hindu god and goddess",1
I don't understand people's reaction to this series. There is not a single redeeming feature for any character on this series. The second season is even worse. My teenage son enjoyed it is the only positive thing I can say.,3
This got boring fast. I loved Ryan Reynolds and the rest was purely indulgent drivel.,4
"In 2008, director Christopher Nolan did his part to change the world of comic book movies. Rather than use the source material to create another action blockbuster with a recognizable superhero lead, the filmmaker instead made The Dark Knight as a dark crime thriller that happened to feature Batman as the lead detective. To say it ""legitimized"" the genre is reductive to some of the fantastic movies that were released before it, but its unique approach garnered deserved attention from those who might not otherwise be interested in cape-and-cowl wearing vigilantes. Of course, in that same time span, Marvel Studios has left an equally impactful mark. Not only have they delivered differently toned superhero stories – favoring the bright and fun over the dark and dramatic – but they've also developed the innovative and risky Marvel Cinematic Universe that webs together all of the studio's characters into one shared world.",10
"I like this better than Luke Cage, The Defenders, and The Punisher. It's an interesting storyline, a few twists and turns. I think most people will enjoy this over some other Marvel TV shows.",8
"Just finished with the 2nd episode and so far its amazing to see how they have adapted the game levels to the small screen. I appreciate how sarah gets more scenes here compared to in the game. Pedro Pascal is amazing as Joel. The museum scenes were tense as hell in ep 2.

Giving an 8 so far as the show is predictable for someone who has played the game though they try their best to add some variations here and there, and also because of the casting for Ellie in particular.

I'm not really a fan of Bella Ramsey as an actor. I just found her character annoying in game of thrones and here too. She also has a really annoying and punchable face.",8
I watched this anime 1st time and from ep 1 to last never gets bored.,9
"I understand why the British like this so much. Bodyguard delivers a strong psychological thriller, battling political differences and traumas. Although the show moves slowly at some points, Madden's fantastic acting performance totally makes up for it. Some surprising twists in the final episodes. Worth a watch.",8
"What the hell is going on here, this is what happens when you dont know how to properly extrapolate the essence of a novel and tell the story completely and coherently. The use of flashback is terribly annoying. I feel angry after cause you just keep waiting for the movie to climax but there was no build up to anything just bad story telling, Too many characters with absolutely 0 impact on the story. Leaves you with more questions when you are finished, Dont even compare this too a Quiet Place that movie is 1000x better than this.

Couple the disappointing story with the hype and you can see why this is probably the biggest disappointment of the year. The same exact problem with the Netflix BRIGHT movie. half baked plot wth big name star. dropped in the middle of a story and dont have enough idea what is going on.",3
"Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the most gripping sagas ever. It's story structure and character development is simply flawless. While being an animated show on a children's network, it has the ability to attract youth and adults alike by blending literally every genre throughout it's story and conveying themes much more mature than those of a typical cartoon. It's a perfect creation by two men with such incredible talent. Their amazing masterpiece is one of the very best things to ever be seen on television or even in theaters. I greatly admire them and will always look forward to and appreciate any of their future works. 9.3/10",9
"Let's start with that I've seen a lot. It's all public. In the most cases meta's score given to a movie shows a better rating, a more realistic one compared to imdb.

I've seen 1917, I was sick of that people don't even know what cinematography is. The whole movie was made like ""Rope"" except that Rope had an amazingly interesting story. 1917 had nothing in it. Paths of Glory was in many terms a lot more realistic. Long story short, I didn't like 1917 at all. I had no idea why it was even nominated.

Then I saw the Marriage Story. As soon as I realised Adam Driver is in it (Star Wars guy), I just wanted to not like the movie because I don't like the new SW movies at all. Then it turned out it was amazing. He was very good, the movie was very good. I liked The Irishman too but the Marriage Story was superior.

Then came the awards and Parasite won. I saw it has a score of 8.6 and I know the director. He did a crime movie which I liked (Memories of a Murder). That one was very good.

So I just watched Parasite too.

It was interesting, but maybe I've seen too many actually good movies, so I do not blow my mind just like that.

The characters were ok and maybe that's all. The story was just interesting. There was nothing special about it. It was an original story, but it won't make it good. It has nothing to tell us. It's pretty much like a half written mess. If somebody works for me for years, I won't fire him/her just because a tale someone told me. I would atleast question the worker. Atleast! At this point the movie was very unrealistic.

The smell factor. We can't smell it :) But all that food as whiskey on that table has a strong smell. You can clearly see under the table. I just had no idea how is that realistic.. They were all given good wages and still they didn't take a shower or anything like that. They did all smell bad.. Sooo unrealistic and because of it the father's motivation made absolute no sense. No sense at all. Especially in that situation.

It felt like they had to end the story somehow and they chose this way for some reason.

Other factors of the movie are no special neither.

Roma stands on 7.7 and is by far better in every aspect.

Currently I've rated over 2500 movies, I write scripts, I'm working on to direct one of my works myself and I have to tell you that this movie was just OK and I have really no idea why would anyone give it a score of 8 or higher. If I would write and direct a movie like this, I would be not satisfied. Not at all. For me it was 6.5 as it was interesting. Also it's genre is drama/thriller. There was not a single second in the movie that was comedic!",6
"Only made it to 3 stars as the car chases must have taken a lot of effort - pity they didn't spend the same effort on the script.

6 underground? - well the film died in the first 30 minutes and couldn't be revived...",3
"These reviews are obviously fake. I love Martin Short and Steve Martin, but this show is bad. I like them in it, but Selena Gomez is seriously the worst actress I've ever seen. She is a so very boring in every scene with no expression and no intonation in her voice. Initially I thought it was supposed to be a joke but it never got any better at all. There is no chemistry between them and her.

Then the story itself is not very compelling. It's too slow.",4
"I won't go into the plot which you can read elsewhere. But after 2hrs and 20mins this movie plodded to a tedious ending. What does it lack? Drama. Tension. Plot twists. Everything that makes a spy thriller worth watching. Ladling on brutal violence and twisted sex scenes doesn't make up for a lack of a good story well told. A film like Gorky Park (1983) is far superior in both mood and story. The Bourne franchise, though more of a comic-book-comes-to-life, has much more action and intrigue. Red Sparrow is actually very boring.For a different and quirky take on the genre, try the British-made series, Killing Eve.",4
"I'd have to rate Captain America The Winter Soldier as one of the best comic book movies ever made. It is as close to a perfect movie as you can get. Superman has generally held the title as most fondly remembered or nostalgic superhero film even though it has some campy flaws. Spider- Man has generally held the title as most beloved superhero film because of the character. Iron Man has generally held the most grounded and well liked superhero film. The Avengers has generally held the title as most highly rated and best film the genre has seen. Well, Captain America TWS can compete with them all in every category. It is IMO near perfect on every level. It's smart, intense, well acted, fun and superbly done.

The first film delivers a lot of action, a tantalizing and beautiful love interest, many humorous moments, powerful messages about internal fortitude and courage, a classic villain, fine acting and many of the basic essentials of any good action movie. This sequel adds an intriguing plot and does everything the first film did but does it BETTER. Including, incredible stunts, unbelievable feats and, not to be rude, but a climax that plays out like a multiple orgasm. The finish features one wave after another of edge of your seat moments. As fantastic of a movie that's ever been made in the genre and I'm not exaggerating one bit.",10
"I didn't like the movie overall, starting from the gae fuhrer to the fake acting of the main character, it's what i hate about letting kids act, sometimes their preformance is so fake and unreal, the main character is a ten year old that talks the way a 20 year old would talk, which makes it look so unconvincing, i wasted my time watching it",1
"I want to send an invoice to the director for reimbursement of the rental cost. This movie is full of overblown and superficial characters, none of which the viewer can engage with or empathise with. Whether this is the fault of the scriptwriter, director or the actors themselves is not clear. What is clear is the movie's awards nominations to date are not the least bit justified. Whilst I applaud the subject matter and the attempt to convey a message to the greater audience about the dilemmas of having a family member dealing with mental illness, there is no doubt there are far superior movies already available covering this topic.",3
"Captain America - The Winter Soldier Review I missed out watching the First Avenger in theater when it got released. Well, Captain America will always remain as an the sanest/sensible one among all the other heroes of the Marvel Universe in the Avenger Lineup. The promos of the movie already gave the viewers a peek over the neck and neck dual between the Winter Soldier and the Cap. Now for the movie, it carries a good pace with itself and the story-line brings the gap closer to Avengers : Age of the Ultron. Chris Evans as Cap Am, gained some extra pounds and is well toned to look more huge, especially in 3D . Chris Evans have come a long way from playing a goofy Pyro in Fantastic Four. Good to see him back donning the American Colors. His action execution has improved, thanks to the wonderfully choreographed stunts and possible competition from Seb Stan. Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow continues her role with a mysterious past and an aging future. She looks terribly old in certain parts of the movie. In other areas, she performs her stunts with ease and shares a good rapport with Cap Am. Anthony Mackie as Falcon, in his debut ""superhero"" movie dons the Stark Industries powered Wings and assists them in the final stages of the movie. I personally think he deserved some more fire power as he looks a bit vulnerable in that part. Tony... Could you help him with that ? Sam J as Nick Fury. There is nothing to describe his character. We all know how Sam J takes any role and how easily he fits into a character like Nick Fury. Robert Redford as Pierce. Good to see Redford back again in the universe. Even if it was only for one movie I guess Sebastian Stan as the Winter Soldier. Perfect match for the Cap's moves. A level higher than the Super-soldier sometimes. Playing a villain to a superhero is not easy especially when its in the ratio of 3:1. Would love to see what the future holds for him. Also the future of Rumlov's. Good to see the Russo brothers keep the continuity of the Captain America adventure. Let's hope they do continue as they are raising the bar for themselves. Stunt Directors and VFX : You guys are the unsung hero of almost every movie in 4. It is high time people start taking you seriously. Hats Off. Do no forget to sit through the end credits. They are 2 of them. PS : Also watch out for Stan Lee Now, for Guardians of Galaxy... Ooga Chaaka Ookha Ookha !!! Rating : 9/10",9
"The production design? Boring. It's just a city. Where's the gothic architecture and personality Anton Furst showed us? Acting? Mediocre. Christian bale is laughable, you can't get past the stupid voice. Ledger is okay but nowhere near as fun to watch as Nicholson. Cinematography? Not memorable. Music? Barely there. It takes a ridiculous concept and tries to make it serious, which ends up laughable. Burton got it right. Setting a dark tone but still in a fantasy world. It doesn't take itself too seriously because it isn't silly. Two guys parading around in Halloween costumes.

The only decent thing in this film is the practical effects, and the half decent directing from an otherwise competent director.",3
"The fact that this show has a 8.1 rating (at time of writing) makes me lose faith in humanity. Acting... terrible. Story... terrible. Writing... terrible. Casting... terrible. I want to cry. Unfortunately, my wife wants to continue to watch this vomit. She said she hates it but wants to see how it ends. Does anyone have the number to a good divorce lawyer?",1
"Talk to Me marks a resounding ""HIT"" in modern horror, defining itself as an exceptionally resounding breakthrough in the genre. The film beautifully encapsulates Australian culture while seamlessly blending important contemporary themes such as social media, mobile phones, and viral footage, highlighting an ever-changing threat in today's world. In depth it explores connection, suicide, moving on, friendships, trust, and family.

The score, and dark, impactful noises contribute to the suspense and dread, enhancing this encapsulating story. The characters, portrayed with accurate representation of modern teenagers, add layers of authenticity and relatability. The plot offers a breath of fresh air to the possession genre, transforming Talk to Me form horror into a daring, and immersive thriller.

The performances are compelling, pulling the audience into the movie right from the opening scene. The scenes featuring Riley (Joe Bird) when possessed and becoming relentlessly violent are brutally effective, creating moments that strike at you repeatedly, tempting your stomach while bracing for the seemingly inevitable critical blow.

An interesting aspect is the clarity and direction of the story, coupled with tempting openness. The discovery from the teenagers that ninety seconds is the optimal time for a spirit or entity to ""Let them In"" without succumbing to the spirit, and becoming unstable, and mentally unhinged. But this could have branched into so many more layers of the plot. The potential to want to know whether spirits can take over and claim a living host if it the candles are not blown out? Or a person supersedes the time limit? Whether younger or older people are affected differently? The randomisation of the spirit, and of course how good and evil entities manipulate their mind?

The calling of spirits with an embalmed hand of a psychic or ""satanist"" is a mouth-watering, and unique concept, and the filmmakers should be applauded for this fresh take on speaking with the dead as it captures all the right spooky, and unsettling vibes.

""Talk to Me"" stands out as one of the best horror films of present times featuring a completely unknown cast and young, inspiring directors. It's a film that engrosses and engages, the last time I felt this reminiscent of the same alertness and impact was a few years back when I first viewed Sinister. I truly hope this idea blossoms into a sequel or even prequel. Nevertheless, I truly believe Talk to Me sets the benchmark of just how good low-budget films can turn out to be.

"Best movie till date for me ! Language wasnt needed to watch this movie, emotions,feelings speaking it all. Cried like anything.this is not just a movie,its an emotion.

Thanks for showing the real bond of humans & voiceless & the unconditional love of dogs! Extremely awesome movie. Everyone should watch this masterpiece.",10
"The jokes were great, the story was excellent. That is until the last two seasons. Season five was a considerable drop off and season six was an abomination unto the lord. The first four seasons I would give a 10 out of 10, no question but the last two... 6 out of 10 and 4 out of 10 respectively..",7
"I was reading someone else's view on this film, and they candidly admitted that the first hour was simply a lame documentary of the '60's that encourages the viewers to guess all the obscure Hollywood references to actors, film projects and commercials from the '60's. The story line focused on a loser actor who's career was going down the toilet. The second half of the film focused on the Manson cult and its victims. Barely fun, but I actually lived through the '60's. In real life, Tates father had to clean his daughter's blood out of the carpet of the home they rented. Sorry, but it's just not funny. Happy ending to the film, for the wasted time to get there. Pitt was the only fun in the film.",3
"Last night i watched the moulin rouge. Tonight i watched this. In comparison, this movie is a pile of stale old saltines.

It is not just because of the stark comparison between a great film and... this. This movie just ticks me off.

The story is nice, and there is actually a great message to go along with the whole thing. BUT this movie feels so utterly FAKE!

Everything from the strange cgi'd set designs, to the strange corny performances, to the really bland uninteresting overly mixed music. Yes, the music is boring and seems so out of place in this movie. There are 2 good songs, the rest are so utterly forgettable. Why there was such a rage about this movie bewilders me. This film is just annoying, inauthentic and disengenius.

Cheesy, fake little perfect showboat.

Boo.",6
One of the craziest movies I've ever seen. Truly a masterpiece.,10
"After reading a good portion of comments here.I'm truly sorry . This movie was not great enough .It's maybe the high expectation i had from it , seeing that everyone seem to ejaculate when they think about the godfather movie.Have seen some people falling asleep during this movie.But the movie is good!Because it's the GODFATHER! LOL

It's could be because the version i watched had no sub-tittle.With all the Italian conversation in this movie(which is around 30% of the movie) i could barely not fall asleep being i don't understand Italian and i had no sub-tittle.It's sure does not help.

The acting is superb .But the role don't seem to be much complicated to play.Everyone keep telling me that this movie is the best.But what make a movie the best?The acting?The story?The Action?

I'm quite happy godfather 2 for me was boring.I'm an intelligent person that most of the time enjoy great story.But this movie just seem to give retard a reason that they are indeed intelligent and love great movie.I LOVE THE GODFATHER SO I LOVE GOOD MOVIE WOWOWO.

When i watch a movie.I want to have some show and not some chatting during 2 hours and pretend that i love this kind of movie because the *acting is superb*.Give me a freaking break.Ace Venture it's a stupid movie.But at least it's entertaining

The music is also over-used.I was quite tired to hear the same background music each frigging time just because they want to enhance the *emotion*.",6
"But, whats up with actors speaking half indian / half english? Is this a thing? I'd love to see this movie on a full indian language, that's what foreign movies are about...proudly preseting us their culture, their insights, their language. I suppose..",7
"Jennifer Lawrence's performance, given the difficulty in portraying a Russian realistically while speaking English, is quite good. Complex plot that has to be paid attention so as not to get lost.",8
"Give a celebrity super powers and you have The Boys. Narcisistic and arrogant. Above the law. Of course I enjoy Marvel and DC, but honestly, they are unrealistic. If Supes were real, this is how they would act. Sure, you would have a handful of good ones, but the majority would do what they wanted. The Boys shows the real and darker side of humanity. Our current celebrities consider themselves better than everyone else, and if you gave them super powers, then just imagine how they would behave. On the outside they would appear good, but behind closed doors their true colors would show. Well, ""The Boys"" know this and they are bent on taking down the Supes and showing their true colors. Like I said, if Supes were real, this is how I imagine it would be. Did I mention Karl Urban? Stellar performance. And Anthony Starr as Homelander is fabulous(Superman meets Captain America meets Arrogant Superstar). If you want a realistic look into Superheroes, then watch The Boys.",9
Third season was a big disappointment. It's boring and it doesn't make sense!! It was a great series but now it's a normal Netflix teen drama with stupid and unbelievable characters. They should have stopped in season 2.,2
Actors where great the storyline started off great but the plot had more holes than a sieve.,5
"Meh. Okay, I went into this after hearing all the raves as to how realistic this movie was about being in space. Well, special effects are great but they do not make a good movie. Too many plot holes and scientific flaws to really forgive.

On the microscale, the zero gravity stuff is pretty accurate (except of course Bullocks perfect hair ) and the views of earth are stunning, but the basic physics and mechanics of re-entry and the improbable ending on a planet that is 75% water....and dozens more physics flaws (you can read about elsewhere if interested) that taken as a whole make the plot so ludicrous it insults your intelligence.

I mean, it starts from the get go when Stone refuses to stop what she is doing and get to safety---err, ohhtayy, sounds plausible for a well educated but novice astronaut.

And then the ending. And why does every action movie have to have a happy ending.

If you watch it and pretend that after Matt Kowalsky reappears, that Dr Stone is actually dying and hallucinating, then the plot thereafter is tolerable. Otherwise, I would put this in the same category as Avatar. See it once for the effects and check your brain at the door. Oh and Hollywood, please stop hiring actresses who have botoxed themselves so much that they resemble elves from LOTR. The odd somewhat inhuman facial contortions are truly disturbing when viewed on the big screen.",4
"So a game that was developed shortly after the walking dead came out and would not have been made had the walking dead not been around, gets a tv show just a few months after the walking dead seemingly and finally finishes (about 8 years overdue), and with the inevitability of countless spinoffs from that show. Poor timing in my opinion

there are so many similarities here.. joel is just like rick for example. The tone is very similar with that southern twang and music, and it's so similar to every zombie apocalypse story out there, of which there have been many many over the past decade or so. The only difference being the fungus element, which is not a big enough detour from the zombie formula

i think we need a break from this type of thing, at least for 5 years or maybe even a decade, then make a last of us show. Maybe.",5
"Inception is a lie and like all legitmate hollywoods irregardless of who is doing what to whom there is only the technology that allows this hysterical calculator(that is all this film represents) in this motion picture to perhaps make money.There seems not much more to suggest and that would be if this film made money,? Well did it ? This is what is a most unusual point to all this,and that would be if this particular film did not make money what else is this film doing if in fact it did not make money? What is required to know better or perhaps to truly know well what the viewer is looking at when as a viewer,the viewer as it were watches the motion picture ""Inception"".There is as well another consideration and that is if in fact the very participation in the watching of any motion picture is such an experience as to be a unwholesome experience. I believe it is that(unwholesome) and even more so provides for a disguise so to mislead any who might be drawn for what ever reason to watch such a film or for that matter to watch such are the films of Hollywood,California.There is no degree of involvement in the making of this film that is in fact authentic and as illegitimate that that might sound like it is an illegal search and seizure which allows a thief to be masqueraded as the man with the candy.This film is not new nor is this film what it appears as is as well.The result when viewing such a film is that there is no time that is real nor is there a place as to any particular event is concerned and if that isn't enough there is no definition as to not if there is a capacity to dream but how do we provide the ability to interject another ability that could pass as a dream.This is the handiwork of a masquerade with any here who believe believe not in this motion picture as there is no dreaming there is only the ability to transmit the stimulus with the image that is what masquerades as a ""dream"".It is as well imposed upon the body of the human race so to provide a unmistakable influence.The influence as the film provides such a witness has a goal of influence pure and simple this film is merely more of the same as the same has meant since as it were its inception.It is its invention that is at the source of this worlds ability to influence anything with merely more of the same being all that the viewer will ever be looking at.The inventor as well as the inventors many inventions are all patented and do it is believed remain so.There were some 700 separate inventions with which this unwholesome day in this world occurred when one Nicola Tesla discovered how to bind energy across wide open space many many miles from nowhere including even deepest darkest space.This is the field of regard it is as well the ability to network with many disparaging elements so to influence even say Adolf Hitler(I kid you not).Though 1920 is the year of radio's invention and 1921 the year Berlin radio started to broadcast it was a good time before this point in time that Tesla's inventions and subsequent patents were in place.The better premise would be to know through Tesla's own words as to what capacity does what he invented provide and without to much trouble Tesla's's own misgivings provide for the very problem of being under the influence of a lie.Though this lie was not meant to interfere with the human race that is exactly what has occurred.The money men of Teslas's own day are at the root cause as to the necessity to influence anything outside of an antenna.They remain as perhaps a cog in the wheel that very nearly saw to its conclusion not to long ago.This wasn't Tesla's design this was there influence on his attempt to bind energy that it was not to be unless of course they could extract a measure if you will of revenge upon humanity.This is the masquerade that there is a profit motive in this foreign power as well as an aggression not to be deterred in its inability to be regulated properly.This is an imperfect science which has meted out suffering through this field of regard.(network field)It is this thief in the night and it is as well the exploiter of human flesh that this film is providing the viewer with.This is what this film is up to and it has been such since it inception.",4
"You'd think that these long shots would make the film more realistic and immersive, but for me, it does the exact opposite.

You can't have a 2-hour timespan and a main character who covers no more than a few hundred meters of ground, while still mashing in a hundred unbelievable and life-changing events. Yet, that's what they did and the result is a pacing and a set that always feels incredibly 'off'.

I don't like the acting performance either, but I don't want to blame that on the actors themselves, but rather the writing. There's no way to give a believable performance when you've got a script that doesn't allow for any pause or moments of consideration. It all falls very flat if you ask me. Giving each act no more than 5 minutes of stage time might work well at a circus, but it's a poor way of making a movie.

The next time you need to deliver a message across a short field, just use a megaphone. This way of filmmaking would do a million times better if the film was far less eventful and gave more room for dialogue.",4
"I can't say it was awful, but it wasn't much better. I find more and more that 'the classics' are really nothing more than classic wastes of time. I don't see how so many reviewers are calling this a masterpiece or a brilliant work of art. I think too many people want to sound like they are cultured and refined and 'feel' a movie and the power behind it, but seriously.... movies are supposed to be entertainment and this one wasn't.

I don't understand the point behind this movie. The storyline really wasn't anything more than following a guy over what seemed to be a couple months. Except for one scene that seems to be the goto line, the acting wasn't very good and the cinematography was lacking.

I would recommend not wasting your time with this movie. I felt I was missing something having not seen it with so many claiming how great it was. Now that I've seen it, all I'm missing is that 2 hrs I'll never get back.

PS. Martin Scorsese only brilliance is in getting us to pay money for his movies.",2
MARVEL MARVEL MARVEL for the past 10 years and for the next 30... please stop feeding into this. My God do we really love super hero films and comic books that much? It was ok the first 20 movies but it's getting old guys...,6
"I don't understand why so high rates? Nothing special about that TV show, just about new technologies that have influence on people, so what? 5 stars only because of actors play.",3
"It will be nominated for several Oscars and win ""best original song"" for sure. Whether you love Gaga as a singer or not, let's just appreciate and enjoy this amazing work by a new actress, LadyGaga. Sam and Bradley are also brilliant in their character. A Star Is Born is not the typical genre of movie like Moonlight/Spotlight/Blackkklansman that will probably snatch Oscars for best picture, but I can promise it will still do well in the award seasons. To sum up, it will gain both commercial and critical success. Just enjoy it as a romantic/musical film!",5
"As a person who absolutely adored the first movie this was a huge let down, especially after hearing great things. The conversation and connection between the family was not there at all there was a lack of emotion. Don't get me wrong the navi people ""acted sad"" it just didn't make me or my family feel anything. The ""pep"" talks from sully to the kids were sooooo crengy it made me want to turn it off. The only thing that was good about this movie was the idea behind it and the water people. In my opinion the CGI was even better in the first movie it felt more realistic which just wasn't the case in this movie. Many scenes i felt could have been skiped leaving the movie at a much more preferred time limit.",3
"I don't see what all the fuss is about surrounding this movie. It is long, slow and boring. I'm partial to the odd gangster movie (yeah, I know, this isn't a gangster movie it's a 'family' movie...*yawn*) but have seen far better than this (Carlito's Way, Mean Streets, Scarface to name a few).

Judging by the comments left on IMDB people say this movie is great due to the acting, the cinematography, the direction etc....what about the plot? The characters? Isn't that what makes a good movie? Or are the people who so verbosely extol the virtues of The Godfather all film/media students studying it for their coursework? Do people say this is a great movie because that's what they hear everyone else say?

The Godfather is not a good movie and the emperor is well and truly naked.",2
"It's Pocahontas slightly altered and implementing transportation from Terminator 2. Thumbs down, overrated",2
"Sandler is decent in this, but right from the beginning, you go from a crazy universe of lights seen within a gem to a guy's colonoscopy. A live colonoscopy. For a few minutes. I was genuinely uncomfortable. I don't get it? What a strange directing choice.

Then you see the main character do a whole lot of shady stuff, over and over and over. He's just a complete dick to everyone, no redeeming qualities, so you don't really care what happens to him. Then it sort of just ends.

This is just the story of an a-hole jewelry shop owner who is an a-hole from beginning to end. I don't know why this has an 8 rating???",3
"Firstly, two warnings: 1. No real spoilers below. 2. My wife and I did not like this film at all (but note we also hated Pulp Fiction and Little Miss Sunshine which were also very popular with many people).

The cinematography was excellent. Beautifully filmed and showing bits of Sth Korean life that I had never seen. Of course, some aspects, the unemployed family and the wealthy family themselves were probably atypical.

We both thought the story and most scenes were quite ""old style"": trite, contrived and quite trivial. The film didn't venture into slapstick thank goodness but the lines and jokes were simple old ones transposed into a modern setting. I chuckled slightly ONCE during the film. Just not my sort of humour (give me ""Kives Out""). In terms of drama it was a bit like watching grass grow, OK interesting grass but that was all.

The ending had a strong message but was executed in a completely over the top and ridiculous manner, and out of all context (style-wise) with what preceded.

I can understand why a lot of people loved this film, and laughed a lot (although noone else was laughing in the cinema when we viewed the film). It has some strong elements in it but just dragged out too thinly for me.

Worth seeing this film just in case it is your thing.",2
"This show is one of the few reasons I haven't cancelled my Netflix subscription yet. They've cancelled so many of my favorite shows. Especially in recent years. Anyways, just finished season 3. Stranger Things has such a good story, likable protagonists, good villains, intriguing storylines and some sweet sweet Nostalgia. It's like Stephen Spielberg meets Stephen King.

The music is great, the tone and setting are amazing. The acting is pretty darn great. From both the kids and adults. I was legit expecting some so-so acting from the kids when I started watching but they genuinely surprised me. They're just so good. Perfectly cast. Winona Ryder is great. Love her. I'm glad this show put David Harbour in the spotlight. Such a good actor. Glad he's finally getting some recognition. The twists, turns and tension... this show nails it all.

Edge of your seat stuff. Amazing action. The effects on The monsters is pretty well done. They look pretty great. The production value is amazing. Just a wonderfully well put together show",9
It is so mindless that I felt that I'm watching golmaal movie 3 times in a day but without the laugh when I binge watched it in a day. I can't seem to understand why the rating is so high. Very disappointing.,1

"I'm not gonna say I didn't enjoy it I came out the cinema thinking I hadn't been ripped off like I have with many films recently but and here's the problem with 1917 the story is very simple the 2 soldiers have to get from A to B to deliver a message that could save hundreds of lives including one of the soldiers brother's but what happens on their journey is a bit unbelievable and convenient I'm trying not to give anything away storywise but it felt a bit to rushed to me like they spent all the money on cinematography and direction (which is outstanding) and didn't spend to much time on the actual script, there are certain parts of the film where I just thought ""come on that's a bit lucky innit"" and it happens a few times in the film which ruined it a bit for me but it is worth a watch just for the cinematography and direction which is definitely the best I've seen in a long time.",7
"If you think about an actress who has convincingly portrayed characters with distinctive accents, you probably think of Meryl Streep (Sophie's Choice, The Iron Lady, etc.). But how about Kate Winslet, who has frequently dropped her proper British accent to play, for example, a German woman during wartime (The Reader), an Australian returning home to her small town (The Dressmaker), and a Polish-American business woman (Steve Jobs). Do you know why you don't even remember her characters' accents in these movies? They were so perfect that there was no distraction or indeed reason to bring up the subject. Well, in Mare of Easttown, the regional American accent from an area of Pennsylvania is dead on! Again. And combined with her interaction with Jean Smart (who proved she could handle another regional American accent on the Designing Women '80s TV show), who believably plays her mother here, it's another masterful turn of voice & phrase for Ms. Winslet. She won an Emmy for playing the title character in a previous HBO miniseries, Mildred Pierce, so the Emmy voters better be ready to sharpen their pencils once again for her this time!",8
"OK a musical where neither actor can sing or dance. That is not a good idea to say the least. I find Emma Stone to be annoying and a terrible actress. She is monotone! I must be the only person that doesn't like her but I think she is terrible.

I didn't like either of the self absorbed self pitying characters. I didn't care what happened to them. The dialog is thin. It could have been written by a child. The music is uninteresting. I did like the one song John Legend did.

Need I say more? I find it sad that movie goers today are finding this piece of trite amazing. Don't waste your money!",1
"As someone who has never read the books or played the games, I gave in to the hype and binged through the 8 episodes. Overall I'd give it 6/10. Positives were the cast that brought the story to life excellently, but unfortunately this was let down by the unexplained switching of timelines, inadequate plot development and important plot elements that were needlessly withheld until the final 2 episodes. I understand that plots twist in any interesting story, but I felt the decision to do this resulted in a story that was longer than necessary. Episodes 1, 7 and 8 directly relate to one another, which is the crux of this story. The rest introduce other characters that are involved in The Witcher's quests and monster hunting thrown in. Jaskier, a welcomed and consistent comic relief offering, being one.

The Witcher is centered around Geralt of Rivea, Ciri, Princess heir to the throne of Cintra and Yennefer of Vengerberg. The cast is perfectly chosen, especially Henry Cavill as Geralt, and the story is excellently told throughout by everyone involved. Unfortunately I felt that both Geralt and Ciri's characters were not developed or explored nearly enough. Apart from being confusingly aware of her importance, Ciri just wanders around with no real further plot development. Geralt's origin and further plot development only occur near the very end which is quite frustrating. Yennefer's character was very well thoughtfully developed throughout. The final episode I felt was anti-climatic as it dwindled on almost pointlessly, the best it could offer were showing different perspectives of what had already occurred and showing you what had been deliberately left out of earlier episodes. Not really a twist, but more a withholding of important dialogue held earlier on in the series for dramatic effect. Overall the series finishes with a sense that the real story is only just beginning, so hopefully season 2 will delve further in to these characters and really bring them to life.",8
"If the action were placed in some parallel universe, but when does this nonsense occur in our world? Even close to nothing like this could not have happened in the past 10, 20 or 50 years. In my opinion, such clear propaganda and cliches did not even occur during the Cold War some 50-70 years ago.",1
Not great...not terrible. Ending was bad tho...who will wait till 2021...,7
"I appreciate the background story of this movie, including the love story. Too bad, the movie tries to be a mainstream-movie at all costs.

To create dramatic pictures, there is one plot-hole after another created, while the villains act completely silly. Also, the movie is fishing non-stop for primitive laughs, which turns ridiculous over time. The technical realism of the philosophical idea of this movie is finally dropped, to create a computer game end level scenario, which includes the real world.

Overall, this movie targets more or less the same audience, which the villain in this movie targets.",3
"It is sad to see all the 10/10 reviews for this movie here and all I can say is that the reviewers who left these votes are not real, they must have been paid or something. I just saw the movie and it did not live up to the standards that the Nolan brothers set on their previous movies.

Looking at the trailer, you would think you're watching the sequel to Inception as it has the same cast, same cinematic style and eerily the same soundtrack, until you see someone in a bat suit.

Sadly the suit is all that is similar to the Batman franchise. For those who grew up with the comics, the Batman portrayed here is not Batman at all. It got lost in the whole convoluted twist and so many plot holes that defy belief and logic. When did Nolan ever got that sloppy? Nolan successfully captured the Batman spirit in Batman Begins. Was he pressured so much by the success of The Dark Knight? And almost 3 hours in movie length is way too long. It was torture as you would know what would happen anyway. Nolan had never made a bad movie. But I guess everyone will always have their first one, and this is his.",5
"The show Loki, starring Tom Hiddleston, is a roller coaster full of twists and turns, surprises and suspense. Its no wonder this is a one of the hit shows of Disney+, though sometimes it feels so little happens in some episodes because of the many times Loki has to wait. The show is made up of two things: the deep psychological thoughts that go through our mind, and awesome fight scenes. I fully recommend this to any Marvel fan.",8
"Well, I actually had high expectations for this. Read a lot of positive stuff, damn my English teacher. Anyway what we have here is a good idea, ruined by a bunch of characters I hated. A bunch of whiny, self centered teens, with smarts somewhere between a Mars bar and a US President. Mustn't forget some of the stoopidist suspension of logic flaws I've seen in a horror movie for some time. After the Police arrived, and left, the whole plot collapsed. For a horror movie to really work, it has to draw you in with realistic, everyday likelihoods. The cops would have shut the house down, taken all the phone footage and confiscated the hand. They did none of the above.. Now a hand that allows you to contact the dead I'm prepared to give a pass. A bunch of Aussies finest, walking away from a blood splattered crime scene without a hint of concern.. Well your taking the p**s aren't you mate! The Cinematography however was excellent. Kudos to them.",4

"When you think of a Guy Ritchie film...what do you think of? Corky, goofy, hilarious and always in your face. Sherlock Holmes didn't do it for me. Ritchie seemed to pull away from the interesting way he likes to make films and tried to make a movie closer to the likes of the typical, everyday boring Hollywood filmmaker.

His films Snatch and Lock, Stock, And Two Smoking Barrels are the best examples of his directing career. Filled with never before seen characters with never before seen attitudes he concentrated on characters and a strong story. However, with Sherlock Holmes he abandoned those virtues I grew to love and just...didn't seem to be fully devoted.

Sherlock Holmes seemed almost a sure fire win and when it came out I was very eager to see it. But for some reason it didn't feel like a true Guy Ritchie film. It felt forced and not altogether there. I also thought that with Jude Law the movie couldn't have been entirely bad, but even Jude failed to impress.

Even though this was quite a fail I am still looking forward to Ritchies next film in hopes that he will bring us a movie that includes his zany attitude and glowing characters.",4
"I did not like 13 reasons why because I felt as if the show almost promted the idea of sucide, I think it kind of promotes the idea of sucide because when Hannah leaves those tapes it's like she was trying to get revenge on the people that wronged her which might give pepole the wrong idea of committing sucide.",1

"Perfect. There is no doubt that it is the best series Marvel has produced, I did not expect such a good production and such great results. Marvel is preparing us for the arrival of a villain bigger than Thanos.

The only thing I regret is that the series focused so much on telling parallel universes that it could not adequately handle the character of Loki. It could have been a little longer and focused on Loki. However, the result is a work that is far beyond my expectations, does not include unnecessary action scenes and thinks philosophically. Many thanks to Tom Hiddleston and the MCU :) I hope the second season will be at least this quality.",8
This film was a bloody joke. Scorcese said all I need to about these movies. Some of them are watchable but this was a disaster from the acting to the CGI to the stupid plot. I'll give it one star becuase it make me laugh unintentionally a few times!,2
"I want to start with a positive as there are More negatives for me, I think the acting was good and Craig was a stand out, the story was also quite good and all the twists were great.

I think one of the biggest problems is that it takes almost an hour to get into the murder mystery aspect of the movie, the build up was a little too long for me.

The mystery part had a good keep you guessing parts of it but a lot of the time seemed kind of out of place and just there for the sake of it

The ending itself I did like, it's hard not to compare it to the first as it is the sequel and it's nowhere near as good

On the positive I did like the acting and the mystery itself was really good, I'd watch it again but skip the first 40 minutes.

6.5/10.",7

I felt like a little kid again at the movies. Totally absorbed with the story. It's a fictional land, while the film is so raw. Margot Robbie is a joy to watch and showed an impressive performance. I believed she was Barbie. The movie is played out as if the characters are dolls being played with. I imagined being a kid with my dolls, thinking of similar outrageous plots, dialogue, and wardrobe changes. Anyone can enjoy this film.",10
"This film is definitely one of the most stunning films ever to reach the silver screen. Both the technicality and simplicity of the shots allows the viewer to fall straight into the film. However, this experience was short lived. I don't know if it was the director's fault or the audience. Perhaps you would witness this when you watch the film in the cinemas.

The plot takes us from one crises moment to another, in a very entertaining fashion. You will find yourself in certain instances, holding your breath. But when this dramatic device became more affective, especially towards the end, something happened...

...The audience laughed... collectively.

This did ruin the story's climax, but I also understand what had pushed the audience to this unexpected reaction. I know I'm speaking with a sense of ambiguity, however you will know what I mean when you witness the film's resolution. I found myself asking then, did they laugh because the journey was becoming too superficial and contrived? Or was the audience unable to bear the series of bad luck, that tipped them in a domino effect of relief to... laugh it off? In my honest opinion, I think the director should have been more careful with the final hurdle. It ruined the cinematic experience as the film can't be viewed in any other way.

Rounding up, watch the movie. Is it worth your money? Absolutely.",7
"After reading all these positive reviews and the online meme hype, I decided to give Adam Sandler a chance and see the rebirth of his acting career. Well, it is still resting but in distress.

The story is somewhat interesting but nothing special, characters are underdeveloped and lack depth, the bad guys are incredibly unconvincing, the iPhones are purposely old but everything else is outdated by accident. They just didn't nail it, although it could have been an interesting thriller. Adam Sandler is Adam Sandler, if you have seen any of his movies, you can expect to see it here. Although he is not a big joke here, his nonchalance and unconvincing delivery is still here - just packed in a box of fake teeth and sparkling gems.

In the end, let's be realistic: it's Adam Sandler acting in a Netflix production, what can you expect? The sound is not quite there, the music is distracting and abrasive at times, there is a whole lot of yelling (Sandler trademark) from him and the cast, dialogues are blank and lack charm, directing is soap opera level and in the end you get Adam Sandler making the movie ""good"".",4
Charmless episode and boring ... i was disappointed Charmless episode and boring ... i was disappointed Charmless episode and boring ... i was disappointed Charmless episode and boring ... i was disappointed.,1
"This show was amazing, probably one of my favorites. But the thing that made me give it 9 stars instead of 10 was it needed to have just a little more action and superpowers involved. I love that Homelander can fly and he's really powerful and everyone has unique powers but it just needs a bit more action. In my opinion it's more of a drama type show, but i'm not holding that against it because it was still awesome, but if your really into just fighting and action, for example: Avengers, then maybe this wouldn't be the show of your liking. But in conclusion this show is awesome and you should definitely watch it.",9
"I really couldn't decide whether to give this a 6 or a 7. It's both good and bad, but overall, I'm glad to have seen it. It's just ... inconsistent in a few ways, has some flaws that are hard to get over, and is one of those series that feels like it was written by a committee.

The good: lots of great filming locations, good chemistry and acting with the two main characters and other characters, strong start.

The bad: Carly was both uninteresting and miscast. She just didn't work. Her crew too. Just a really uninteresting ""bad guy"" group. They looked like production assistants who filled in for real actors. I can see what they were going for (a sort of grey zone, freedom fighting terrorists who were just misunderstood)... Disney does that a lot, that misunderstood ""bad"" guy fighting for a good cause type thing. Neat idea on paper, but in practice pretty boring and just executed poorly.

I liked some of the themes and such, but it felt a bit forced and on the nose at times. Like black people being forgotten in history... I thought it was a good message but perhaps overdone.

I'd say the last two episodes felt the most ... disjointed.

But because the first four episodes had lots of action and neat filming locations it was overall a good experience to watch this series.",7
"If we talk about south industry , most of us ( especially bollywood lovers)will regard it as a nonsense industry . I also used to think so , but after watching this one I will like to say that south industry is just mind blowing . It's a perfect thriller with good screenplay , BGM , and most importantly a powerful villian ..",10
"Spielberg's autobiographical love letter to the film industry seems like a mixed bag for a long stretch but there are early signs of promise that eventually come to fruition. It ultimately blooms into something truly wholesome and in keeping with the director's trademark soulfulness. It's the story of a boy growing up in the early 1950s whose passion for film drives his ambitions. His dreams get inconsistent support from his engineer father (Paul Dano) but wholehearted encouragement from his more artistic mother (Michelle Williams). It's a depiction of the germinating early stages of one's life goals and the minefield that is a challenging family.

Watching the account of the director's childhood is a lot like watching a child grow up. In the early going, it's full of vexations and is sometimes exhausting but as the story develops and the protagonist's life direction starts to crystallize, we too become fixated. The film begins to take off when Judd Hirsch infuses the narrative with brio. He's the one who eloquently dares the boy to challenge himself and reach for the stars. From that point on, the vitality builds to the point where we get to the young man's high school years in which his gumption and true skill as a filmmaker get honed and tested. In the end, it leads to a truly inspired conclusion.

Dano and Williams are quite good as the boy's parents. Seth Rogen is creatively deployed as the boy's father's best friend. Without giving away too much, it's a good idea to go in mostly cold. You don't have to know Spielberg's personal story to get invested in this. A film that makes one overlook or discount its manifest flaws in the beginning is a hard-earned achievement and Spielberg earns his way back to the top with this one. Strongly recommended.",7
"The show clearly had a vision and a plan for season 1. Not at all for 2 or 3. After 1 I was satisfied and happy about what I watched. It became clear early on in 2 that it was bad. 3 starts well but goes downhill quickly. So, watch season 1, be happy, stop watching.",5
"OK. What can I say that hasn't been said before?

On paper, this show had potential. Rebooting the classic 60s sci-fi adventure for a new generation. The final product was at best a bit gloomy and at worst overly-PC and stripped of all the humour and campiness that made the original so beloved!

The mother clearly wears the pants in the relationship and she and her husband are always at their throats. The children come off as unlikable and the robot that says ""Danger, Will Robinson"" is now a sleek faceless automaton with about as much personality as a lecturer at Oxbridge.

In short, let's hope the show lives up to its title and is lost in space. Hpefully, forever.",3
I hated it. Only Adam Sandler's portrayal of a shouty low life is good 2/10 is generous,2
"This movie functions similarly to its subject matter...After watching it, you'll have a throbbing headache, feeling like you partied the whole night with Jordan Belfort and Donnie Azoff...except no...you just watched a bloated and crappy movie.

I had friends tell me it was AMAZING and I had other friends tell me that it was too much movie..Too much movie? Yep. They said it actually was a physical challenge to watch the whole running time. I didn't know who to believe, but I knew I had sat through many Lord of the Rings movies as well as Harry Potter movies and never had a problem...so why should this be a problem..? I'll tell you why.

This movie blows so hard. I will admit, I watched and enjoyed the first hour and a half or so of the movie, but then I hit a wall. I was determined to sit through it, but it became increasingly difficult to do so. It was too much profanity, drugs, and sex. TOO MUCH. This is coming from a guy who considers ""Scarface"" one of his all time favorite movies. It was TOO MUCH. The movie had decent plot, characterization, and pace through the first half but it just meandered and became stale the second half. It was not funny, it was not entertaining, and it was not even watchable. This is one of the few movies I recall checking my watch (phone) every other minute or so.

I don't know who MacGuyver'd this screenplay, but here's a sample of the dialogue.

""We gawt some f**kin hookas, then we snorted some f**kin coke, then we gawt sawm more f**kin money so we could buy some more hookas and coke!""

Okay, that's not verbatim but very similar, trust me. As for the acting, DiCaprio is a fine actor, no doubt but this role was so wooden and flat that DiCaprio was essentially a 3D object working on a 2D plane. How in the world THIS ROLE got nominated for best actor, I will never know. This movie actually made me hate Jonah Hill, which is hard to do. I've loved him in almost everything he's been in, but just seeing his face and hearing his voice made me want to punch him, really freaking hard. As for the supporting cast...? Fair to midland. Nothing special. Matthew McConaughey's performance was lame as well...Unless you like talking about masturbation and...you got it...coke!

If I have to judge Scorsese by this film, I'd have to say that he's lost his mojo. You can see narrative devices of ""Goodfellas"" playout in this movie to very little effect. Hell, you could almost call this a watered down ""GoodFellas"" meets ""Wall Street,"" but not only would that insult two great films...it would be wrong. This movie doesn't take place on WALL STREET! Well, for 15 minutes it does, but it's just awful. This movie also conveniently leaves out any explanation (except the MOST basic) of penny stocks, market training, brokers, and the illegal activities in the film for...you guessed it....Hookers and coke!!

I could harp on this movie for probably as long as it took to watch the movie, but I think I'd rather move on with my life and leave this review as a warning to potential viewers that this movie is pure trash. You will feel dirty and sleezy after watching it. Scorsese needs to take a vacation or something and get back to his roots.",4
The series cover the life of the fighter looking for his destiny. The story will roll around the magic'power and really will give you an amazing travel. Romantic drama complete pack The ending was with suspension create thought Looking for season 2 Acting via th Anaya is really amazing,8
"OK..i am a big Shahrukh Khan fan..i used to ape him in my younger days..i can remember and utter every single dialogue of SRK..i fight with the people who dislike him..i applaud not only his acting but also his way of thinking,his motivational speeches,his becoming a superstar from nothing as well.I always wait for his movie with an acme of interest. But i did not like the last three films which abated my admiration a little bit...i was waiting for his next movie that is 'FAN' to come and i thought myself i would watch it as a SRK hater..

I have watched 'FAN' and i have been forced to be converted into a fan again by his adept acting.It is the SRK that i saw while growing up.This is the SRK who brought emotions inside me many times.This movie has established a fact that if SRK wants,he can make a movie that can be used as an acting book.

His portrayal of two different characters is top notch as one can't find any similarities between them.His expressions are so good and sharp that moving the eyes from the screen is too hard.The innocence, simplicity and passion of Gaurav have come off with flying colors.This character has brought smile as well as tears in my eyes.Some scenes have been done brilliantly and aesthetically that one would say ""wow!amazing"".On the contrary, the character Aryan, a little adamant and egoistic superstar,has given us the common man view that he has his own life to lead. At the end of the movie, his realization of what a bonafide fan is reflected from his face.Take a bow MR.SRK.

Every film has loopholes so do 'FAN'.But the story is so much crafted that the loopholes are overseen.Making a movie without any song and any female lead is a big challenge and doing that SRK has emerged as a champion. Acting is the only captain of this ship and the ship will go a long way...(4.5/5)",10

"I've just finished watching this movie.Yes although it was released a few years ago.It was an emotionally packed movie.It'll make you shout,cringe,cry,love.It makes me realize the current real situation of Indian cultural system which I had very little information of.It makes me realize how lucky I am to have access to most of things I wish to achieve.I am officially a fan of Anushka Sharma.Hats off to NH10",9
There is story which fits in one season and they streched in to 2 and there is a 3rd one will come on same line... The 1st season was good start but 2nd one was such a slow as snail.,4
"The score (and the film) are definitely different and not to some people's taste, but I think that's mainly due to pre-programmed expectations for both film and film scores as defined art forms.

I did feel like I was there, if only as an observer. I also cried, especially in the last half. I lived in the U.K. for almost nine years, so maybe that influenced my feelings, but even so, I was both riveted and moved by the cinematography, the direction, and the score!

Having said that, I did 'notice' the score a couple of times, so I guess that shouldn't happen--nothing should take you out of the film right?

Also (before I went to see it) two friends reported that the movie was 'too loud,' others said the acting wasn't good, they couldn't easily hear the actors speaking, and that there wasn't much of a plot. Again though, I think this could have been the result of having certain pre-formed expectations of mainstream movies in general.

On a side note, I saw a YouTube video by Vox called, 'The sound illusion that makes Dunkirk so intense.' It explains something called the Shepard-Rlisset Glissando,' which is what I heard as the reminiscence of the Rolls Royce engines in the English planes. Wow!

For me, the sound design and the film may be avant garde, and maybe I wouldn't want these styles in every film I see, but this one will definitely make it into my permanent collection!",4
"If you watch this thing because your friend recommend it to you, you will hear somethings like, season 3 part 2 is a masterpiece and it gets better by season, haha no. Subjectively I dont like the power system, which remind me of Ultraman, artstyle and ost. Openings are great though. Objectively the trost district pacing is slow, the plot armor though. It's true anyone can die in this anime, except the main character and his comrades. The plot armor is very strong. The plot/storyline is cool, so does the characters. Good show, but not God's blessing like the Aotards claim it is.",7
The Winter Soldier is an Excellent Marvel Movie. Its still very much in the same spirit of a typical Marvel film but it incorporates a lot of elements of Spy Thrillers. The stakes in this movie as well as the music make the action feel much better than usual superhero films. It has a good use of shaky cam as well. The Plot isn't something too impressive but it is serviceable for the overall experience and has some very interesting ideas. The Winter Soldier is in the upper echelon of Marvel Movies.,8
"The idea behind this show is great but unfortunately the screenplay seems to be written by a primary school pupil. I am a serious Sci Fi fan and I can honestly say that the plot is full of contradictions and wrong decisions.

The thing that is most annoying for me was that everything happens very slow. All the story can fit in about two and a half hours without loosing a single piece of information. I call this the sindrome of the overstretched history which is very common for most of the shows lately. I was totally bored waiting for something to happen and when it happened to happen most of the time it was illogical.

There is also something good - the visual effects are pretty amazing and the CGI is really outstanding. Also - there is some good acting occasionally but you have to be very careful or you may miss it. Some very beautiful landscapes to calm your spirit while waiting the next plot-hole.",3
"Lack of creativity and I feel like marvel doesn't really know what the fans want. I want different BUT GOOD stories. Not just different. I want to see universes where our heros become villains, where the other half got snapped, where loki whorty of mjlonir, where Tony has to adopt Peter because both Ben and May die, where someone other snaps not Tony, where Hawkeye die not Pietro, where Peter is kidnapped by the red room and become the wolf spider instead of Niko Constantin. Not even mentioning all the people's past we could have seen this way even if things play out differently. Natasha in the red room, Rhodey on his missions, Bucky, Pietro, and Wanda in hydra, not even mentioning the ships that could have almost happened in the mcu. Valkyrie&Thor, Banner&Natasha, Bucky&Steve, May&Tony, Bucky&Natasha.

But instead of that, we got zombies. Bit dissapointed.

I do hope they continue this show but better.",6
If you enjoy rape scenes you'll love this film. If you are a normal human being you'll hate it.,1
"The first few episodes are really dramatized. Serious looks with dramatic music at a useless point in the story occurs multiple times. To the point that it was hard to watch. Those episodes were 4 stars. Episode 3, 4 &5 had me on the edge of my seat. I'd gives those 9 stars. However, the show wraps up with a very loose ending. Lots of finger-pointing throughout the series that isn't closed out. The villain(s) were too loose of a connection.",6
"Honestly this is nothing special, they changed it up from the actual game in a few ways already, that I dislike. I don't think think Pedro is a good Joel, he's very dry he doesn't sell the role to me. And Ellie is just an asshole, she's overly moody, and rude which was nothing like her character in the game. Very meh acting overall including Tess's actress. I don't understand why it's so hard for these companies, they always miss the mark because they need to add thier own flare, when the reason the game was a hit, was because of how the story was made, no need to change it up. Visually it looks fine, I didn't have a problem with that aspect atleast.",2
"In my opinion one of the most overrated movies of all time. This is the worst Tarantino movie out there, I dont understand the movies popularity. Its just so bad and it doesnt make any sence. But on the other hand the acting is good and Samuel L Jackson is as good as you can expect. I guess it is just not for me and maybe you will like it.",2
"Watching a documentary on it and I can see just how good Amanda Seyfried was in that role. The voice, the mannerisms everything.

I wish there was more of what happened after the fact but the series was really well done.",8
Story is quit well. Story build up is from first episode engage you with the series well.. Every characters done their job very well. Ending is good but not as hope before. But i would say the detailing of every characters is not well defined. School detailing is quite poor. Overall it will entertain you a lot. You will enjoy your time watching the show. The character Wednesday played by jenna ortega is very very good. Jenna Ortega blossoms her character. But the other characters are not written as expected from the first episode of the series. But if you have time to watch you will surely entertained.,7
"Pat (Bradley Cooper) is just out of a psychiatric institution, after eight months of ""treatment"" for violent behaviour and assault on his ex-wife's lover. He lost his job and his home and he is forced to move in with his parents.

Tiffany (Lawrence) is a young widow, stricken by grief after her husband's death, who turned to compulsively sleeping around. The fact that Lawrence plays a part written for a woman over thirty undermines her credibility, but not her capability to deliver.

They meet not-so-cute at a dinner organised by Tiffany's sister and from then on the plot creeps along, following their tentative relationship. It does not help that Pat's father, played by De Niro, is a bookmaker obsessed with football.

Way too much screen time is dedicated to this sub-plot and if you do not care about football - like me - you might find the second part quite tedious, with all the betting and games. Maybe without that and with a tighter editing, it could have been a decent movie... still not Oscar-worthy, but Cooper and Lawrence have some chemistry and their characters are marginally endearing.

On a general note, even if Pat is generically described as ""bipolar"" and Tiffany as ""borderline"" they seemed just two people who found it difficult coping with traumatic events - which does not imply any serious mental illness. I found it weird that in our society, reacting in violent or unpredictable ways to the blows of life, is apparently considered as ""mental illness""...",4
All positive reviews are beyond realism. The first 1.5 episodes no plot no intrigue no idea of where it's going. So badly written. To bad.,1
"I have enjoyed this show thoroughly so far. I am currently 4 episodes in and each episode has just gotten better and better. Plus they taken certain liberties with some of the characters, fleshing them out even more than they originally are in the books. While true to the source material, these experimental liberties are fantastic and make said characters some of the most interesting on screen. The main 3 actors, Henry Cavill, Anya Chalotra and Freya Allan are amazing and I love their portrayals of the characters!",9
"The wonderful dialogues that were contained in the book are simply childish in this series, the creators completely did not use the potential of the psychopathic character of Rience (this character had great potential for the entire third season, it could be presented as well as Ramsay's character in GOT!). Mrs. Lauren completely does not understand either Sapkowski's books or the game from CD PROJECT RED. There are no political games that were thoroughly described in the book that gave the whole story meaning. No sense of map, geography of the world! The producer of the series does not respect the LORE of this book, in fact, she is rewriting it, except that it is so senseless and incomprehensible that it is not surprising that Henry Cavill (a huge fan of books and games) simply resigned from this role. This is simply not watchable.",1
"As a hard of hearing person, using a captioning device this thing was a nightmare. It was very hard to follow the film, and because of that I felt there was very little character development. Glad I only spent $5 on this. I wish I could get my 2+hours back. Avoid.",4
Season 2 just did not make any sense. And the ending was just painfully unsatisfying. Seems like the writers for this season were on same drugs as characters.,1
"I agree with many other reviewers. Marvel failed to answer why Karli hated the GRC. I still don't understand why she and many others were willing to betray and die for their cause outside of ""someone is living in my house."" Which again, was not at all explained.

There were zinger one-liners that were hard to catch because the actors were not orating properly, I only caught them because I had subtitles on. Then the script was awkward and the direction of the 'U. S. Agent guy ended on a underwhelming note. I really hope they either recast him or script him better because he is truly going to be an unlikeable Marvel character.

This series is good to pass the time with, that's all.",5
"A man hires a couple of goons to kidnap his wife so he can split with them the ransom that her father will pay. Of course, nothing goes as planned. The Coen Brothers are in peak form here - from the clever script to the marvelous visual presentation of the bleak Minnesota winter. In fact, they have yet to surpass this superb black comedy. Buscemi and Stormare are hilarious as the kidnappers with opposite personalities. Macy is perfectly cast as the schmuck who hires the kidnappers. McDormand won a well deserved Oscar for her spot-on performance as a pregnant policewoman. Even minor characters (such as the hookers) are memorable and the score is terrific.",9
"There is much to like about McQueens film, an amazingly talented film maker if ever there was one. Some people hated 'Shame', I thought it was amazingly brave and so relevant to the world today. The story of 12 Years a Slave is well known so I won't regurgitate it here or debate the veracity of the truth of the details. I am sure the story is true and almost certainly even worse than we got to see on screen.

The performances are all first rate with the plaudits going to newcomer Lupita Nyong'o who plays another fellow slave in a truly awful position of the subject of desire and torment which she must endure almost daily. Chiwetel Ejiofor anchors the whole piece nicely and Michael Fassbender and Sarah Poulson epitomise total evil as the last white slavers that host our protagonists life. The camera-work is beautiful and haunting at the same time, lingering as it often does on nature and light to set the tone and mood. The films display of brutality that slaves went through in the American South is relentless. This is 'Roots', with all the gore and its totally uncompromising in its delivery. I've heard the critical view that the whites here are too one dimensional. Some are kind slavers, but still slavers none the less, while others are just the worst people alive with Brad Pitts cameo being the only decent person among them. I can't argue with this depiction as unfair, because I am sure its not, the focus is after all on the Cotton Farms which were not a nice place to live and grow up. The film ticks all the boxes and will win lots of awards and I am sure will get rave after rave review. I am something of an connoisseur of the true story drama, I must have over 200 in my DVD collection. I think they're the heart and soul of what makes great cinema, real stories about real people that should tackle real issues and give a real response of emotion form the audience. It is what make films such as these rank as master pieces alongside Star Wars and The Godfather. It should rank as one of my favourites in this genre, up there with Schindlers List, The Murder Of Stephen Lawrence, Wall Of Silence, Hillsborough and so on. So why didn't I like this film? Films such as these are not films you can always enjoy watching, their an experience to digest, sometimes not easily and that's fine I can still digest such a film and say its a good film, and it is, its an outstanding piece of cinema in many respects and its the job of the film maker to challenge, educate, shock and teach us. This film does all of these things. Now I personally didn't learn too much that was new about the American south as I am well educated and while I wasn't familiar with Northup's personal story I was fully aware of what went on and have digested a great deal of other work on this subject. Though I don't live in America I have been there many times and I am acutely aware of the great racial divide that still exists between the communities over there and its primarily because of this great history of slave culture that they have that such division which was never as strong in the UK. While I applaud any film that tackles such a tough subject and seeks to expose it for all it was, I found here that this film felt a little too late. When Mississippi Burning was released in the late 1980's its release was marred by a number of outbursts of violence in cinemas across America. These were caused by reactions to the film, by the reality of the racism in the south of the 60s being exposed for the younger 80s generation, and so this film does the same on a topic that has been covered extensively before but rarely with such gore and brutality. It felt at times to me I was almost watching horror porn but in different genre and while one can rightly say this is realistic and we should see it, I fear for the divide that this will continue to cause among the communities in the USA. A recent visit there has only confirmed for me how little has changed and how little the black and white communities, on the East Coast especially interact with each other and how racial tensions run higher than ever before. I feel certain this film will do nothing but add to those tensions and that is what truly disturbs me more than the film itself. I see no hope offered in the film to bridge our communities and our races in a film of this type and while the film is an amazing work I think the wider implications of it should be considered. There is this great personal story sure, and on that level its an amazing and draining experience but in a wider a context I fear for the reaction it might cause and the attitudes it will only seek to exacerbate. I wish this film had been made at the same time as Cry Freedom, when I feel it was the time to ram these messages home but now it feels like its rammed down my throat and at the wrong time when the world really does need to unite as a people and not divide. This will be a controversial view I know, yes Slavery was bloody awful, people associated with it were evil, I think we all know this already, but just in case you don't here is a film that will really upset about the subject. After viewing it, where will you direct that anger? See it and decide for yourself.",6
"Here comes this irreverent, snarky, pull no punches show that's glued my eyeballs to the screen for the past week.

With exception of Karl Urban (who is excellent as always) the cast was new to me. Some of them I wouldn't want to be in a room together with. And after watching episode after episode, this gut sinking feeling has grown stronger. Fantastic.

Now there are minor writing hiccups and lack of attention to direction, but this is a solid show that expands on the evil superhero theme better than anything I have seen to date.

Please don't screw up season 2.",8
"This movie was merely OK, defianetly nothing great. Sure Russell Crowe had a lot of screen time, his acting however uneven and wiffed a bit of ham. The violins of the score drove me mad and wrecked of smoltz. Jennifer Connelly was OK nothing great. The actor that stole the show for on screen prescence was Paul Bettany, a star in the making methinks. The second half of the film dragged as it rambled to the get to the get your hankys out <violins again> finale. If you insist on seeing a film about a fight against illness I'd recommend Iris over this.",5
"If your idea of a great movie is one that confuses and nauseats the viewer with obnoxious editing and overly bombastic music spliced with a mellowdramatic idiot tearing his hair out, then this movie is for you.

I used to respect Christopher Nolan as a filmmaker, his earlier films were cool - but in later years I just think he's gone off the deep end. Tenet was equally as incomprehensible as this and also had the effect of nauseating the viewer. And I'm sorry but anyone who thinks that a moving film is one that attempts to make the viewer feel physically and psychologically sick does not deserve to be making movies.

I had hoped that Tenet was a one off. Nolan's attempt to make something really bizarre and original that just didn''t work. But clearly this is now his approach to filmmaking - to just flush the entire rulebook of visual storytelling down the toilet and create confusing messes of films.

I was looking forward to this film, but it was a complete dissapointment. The epitome of pretensious film making that has no respect for the audience. I'll most likely be avoiding Nolan films in the future.",2
"This is probably my first review for a film, I just had to write this one.

I was so impressed by the number of good ratings and the great reviews that I simply ignored the bad ones. How could a movie with an average rating of 8.5 can be a waste of time? Impossible. So I went ahead to watch it.

Let me tell you exactly what actually put me off. The movie had no great story. Limited dialogs of actors that really didn't have to worry much about acting since they had this astronaut helmet on most of the time. There is only one woman and one man that you see in almost the entire movie since there're no people just passing by in space. Just a few scenes that had great cinematic effects, totaling around 10-15 mins or so (probably an exaggeration) and that was it.

So if you're in for just a few repetitive scenes of awesome cinematics and that's it then this is a movie for you otherwise like me you'll end up looking at people around you wondering who among them would give this an 8.5

Hope this helps some.",5
"It's a refreshing sci-fi series, connection between a boy and machine works very well and keep tension and suspense going...",9
"I have to give the show a nine instead of a ten because of the Miley episode. All the other episodes in the serie are incredible. My favourite episode is the second one of the first season.

9/10.",9
"After years of moronic Hollywood action movies, when you go to a summer blockbuster these days you're simply hoping to be only mildly disappointed instead of grossly irritated by the proceedings. So it comes as a joyous surprise to discover that Spiderman 2, against all expectations, is a smart, funny and exhilarating movie that takes us back to when good movies made money, too.

Like Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jaws, Spiderman 2 manages to combine a compelling action plot with good writing, sharp acting and assured visual film-making. Even the love story, usually the squirmingly-bad part of big summer movies, works like a charm.

Director Sam Raimi puts together action scenes that are soaring, operatic tributes to Spiderman's comic book roots, yet at the same time have the grit and grime of reality, as slabs of rusty metal, shards of glass, and 2-ton taxicabs all come flying through the air at our web-slinging hero. Suffice to say that the Matrix directors could learn a thing or twenty from watching this movie.

In an era when a lot of Hollywood movies have an almost fascist edge to them, with superhuman, square-jawed heroes dispensing one-dimensional villains and weakness with bare fists and bad attitudes, it is refreshing to see Spiderman's alter ego Peter Parker fully developed as a lovable schlub who can't even hold down a job delivering pizzas in his ""real"" life. Raimi's first act is as tightly constructed, and as enjoyable, as a Billy Wilder script, as Parker stumbles from one bad circumstance to another, rings under his eyes from staying out late fighting crime, flunking out of college, and late on his rent. Tobey Maguire is Jack Lemmon in ""The Apartment"", with a night job as a superhero. It's great fun and wonderfully executed.

Likewise Alfred Molina's villainous Dr. Otto Octavius and his wife (played by Donna Murphy) are cleverly cast as uber-cosmopolitan, T.S. Eliot-reading intellectuals, whose liberal idealism runs amok when the Dr.'s scientific ambitions get the best of him. It's funny and compelling at the same time, and the cybernetic contraption that Octavius welds to himself, however cartoon-like, is considerably creepier than similar devices that pop up in ""darker"" movies. Indeed, the scene where the wicked sprites in the Doctor's machine sway him from good to evil with their impeccable (but silent) reasoning is a brilliant Shakespearean flourish, like Macbeth being worked into a lather by the witches of the Scottish moors.

The battle Raimi sets into motion between his awkward hero and his romantic villain spins its own web, at the center of which lies a solution not born of violence, but of conscience. Ultimately Raimi turns Spiderman's flights of adventure through the city into a kind of lonely art, a physical release from Peter Parker's limbo, his alienation, and post-adolescent angst. It's hard to think of another superhero movie where you get such a charge out of watching the character fly, run or, here, even fall on his face. Raimi has made Spiderman human, vulnerable, and funny.

The movie's best scene may be when Parker, suffering from a kind of superhero ""performance anxiety"", goes to a doctor. ""I've been having this dream... where I'm Spiderman..."" he tells the M.D. ""Oh, so you're Spiderman?"" the doctor asks wryly. ""In my dream,"" Parker insists, then, growing fidgety: ""Actually, it's not my dream, it's a dream a friend's been having.""

Spiderman 2 is the dream that Sam Raimi's been having, and it's the kind of movie summers were made for. Highly recommended.",10
It just worked somehow. 6 episode ok after seeing all i'm disappointed :/ the storyline wasn't good enough.,7
"""Key & Peele"" didn't really make me laugh that often, as I would have expected from a sketch comedy show. To count how many times I've really laughed, I don't need more than two hands. Unfortunately, in most cases, there was simply not much more than a smile to be had.

In addition, the decision was made to completely omit the moderation element in season 4 & 5 and to replace it with cutscenes in which Key & Peele just have conversations in a car, which I thought was a shame because it took a lot of the show's character away.

The show was entertaining nonetheless, but I had higher expectations from such a highly acclaimed show...",6
"Well, basically this movie is just a Sunday movie, nothing special, fights are not even exciting, and the plot is kinda boring, so not recommended, the best part of this movie is definitely the post credit scene lol.",4
"For someone my age (I'm well out of my thirties), ""Forgetting Sarah Marshall"" is only mildly funny and the ""hilarious"" segments inserted for the youthful audience were not at all funny for me or my wife. However, the premise is credible, and the acting by Jason Segal (as Peter, the guy trying to forget), Kristen Bell (as Sarah), Russell Brand (as her new rock-star bedmate) and Mila Kunis (as Rachel Jensen, who ultimately replaces Sarah in Peter's affections) is quite good. One thing that surprised me. There are two scenes with frontal male nudity. The famous Marlon Brando movie, ""Last Tango in Paris,"" got an X rating because of frontal male nudity -- and this is the first time since then I've encountered a film which broke that taboo. Have there been others? (The ban never made sense to me, but I wasn't responsible for the movie rating system.) The real revelation in this film is Mila Kunis: absolutely gorgeous. I can't imagine anyone without a blonde fetish who would choose Sarah over Rachel. Peter definitely made the right decision.",7
"Viewers will gravitate to different sections of this story because of how rich it is in text, yet also because of how unique it is in execution. Jeffrey Wright, who's normally seen as an enjoyable supporting actor, takes the helm of this film and leads it convincingly. His character's repeated desire to be seen and validated is opposite from the crafty, suspenseful roles that I'm used to seeing from Wright, which became more impressive as the character's vulnerabilities started to flesh out. The film asks an important question that seems to be embedded within the larger scope of social commentary. ""Why do you do what you do? And, why do you feel the way you feel based on what you do?"" There's a psychological battle between doing something because it's ""good"" vs. Doing something because it provides opportunities, and then there's the sliver of possibility to intertwine the two of them. The family dynamic is the emotional crux of this story, showcasing moments that are abruptly raw and realistic while using connection as the focal point of transformation in Wright's character arc. The story is sharp, clever, and aware of the message that it's trying to share. In comparison to films with similar intentions, ""American Fiction"" leans heavily on the satirical tone to explore race and identity while visibly using comedy to approach the subject as universally as possible.",6
"I really like Captain America's simplicity. He does not shoot out lasers from his hands like Iron Man, he does not stick on walls like Spider-Man, he does not have absolute accuracy like Hawkeye, he does not have psychic powers like Doctor Strange and he isn't a Superman clone like Captain Marvel (although he's also supposed to be the poster boy of America who fought a billionaire). He's just a very strong man. His only weapon is a shield. Not even a sword, just a shield. It's a way of saying that his arms are no less than a sword. He doesn't fight long range. That's how much he trusts his skills.

His costume is also very simple. It does not have any cape or coat. And unlike the comics, the MCU costume doesn't even have wings. They are just drawn on his helmet. And in this movie his costume is made even more sleek. I didn't like the stripes part from his costume. It looks too soft. It's like if he's stabbed over there he would die instantly. So this costume over here made that problem finish, plus it looks a lot more futuristic. I really wished Captain America only wore this costume.

Another thing that shows Captain America's simplicity is the introduction to Falcon. Since The Avengers had already established that all the superheroes are now good friends of each other, this was the movie which could have shown their first partnership since the big team up movie (this was later done by Ant-Man instead for Falcon). But instead of calling them, Steve trusts a new friend, someone he made friends with while he was out on a jog, something similar to what the people used to do back in the mid 20th century. He also calls Black Widow for the action (ugh!), and together they find Hydra.

In the end Captain America fights with the Winter Soldier, but instead of giving an actual fight, he tries pursuing him into giving up, something we won't expect a hero of such calibre to do. The fight scenes in this movie are pretty good, but what should I tell you? I mean it's a movie with Captain America, Black Widow AND Falcon. So there are over a dozen jump cuts every second during the fight scenes. This is the reason why I hate Natasha so much. She fights with so many scene cuts and never takes a single hit. She is the reason why I removed one star from my rating.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is the best movie that came from phase 2 in my opinion. It completely outshadows its prequel and sets the correct tone for the additional characters in the future movies without causing too much disruption. It leaves many memorable scenes and has a very good story. I wasn't expecting to be disappointed from a Captain America movie because I like him for his simplicity, but I wasn't expecting to say it's gonna be one of the best MCU movies either. I'd definitely want to give it a rewatch if I get a Disney+ Hotstar subscription.",9
"The first movie, Knives Out, was so much better than this one.

Such great actors but what a waste of time to see this movie. My husband fell asleep after half an hour, i kept watching till the end because i kept hope that the story was going to be better. Unfortunately it did not.

The shots of the surroundings i have liked the most while watching, the same goes for the colorful whole.

I had good hopes of this movie, because of the first one and the great cast, and was looking forward to have an entertaining night. This movie is nothing compared to the other, it did't get me at all. Good better have read a book.",2
"The book Deathly Hallows has been split into two movies and this is the first part.The most intense scenes of the part were the destruction of Slytherin's locket and the ending ,which is sad,yet has suspense for part 2.The movie doesn't have much action ,I think that the best scenes are kept for part 2 .Neverthless,a good movie and I just hope to see part 2 soon.8/10",8
"This lean and mean supernatural horror isn't afraid to get nasty, with some certifiably vicious violence (most of which is, even more disturbingly, self-inflicted) and a couple of gross-out moments that trigger a very different kind of fear reflex to the usual bumps in the night associated with the genre (let's just say that they both involve dogs in their own way). Even though 'Talk To Me (2023)' never even threatens to break new ground in terms of its narrative, with its trauma as horror underpinnings and focus on a group of teens who do very silly things with very dangerous objects, the picture is just really well crafted in pretty much every way. It draws some basic but effective parallels between its central spiritual concept and teenage drug misuse, leaning into the highs and lows associated with taking illegal substances. It's also just a really grubby affair, presenting its terrors in relation not to glossy Hollywood stars but to realistic Aussie kids (even though none of the adult actors come even close to passing for someone still in school). The cinematography is dark without feeling dull, the direction is subtle yet distinct, the performances are heightened yet natural and the scares are expected yet successful. There are a handful of jump scares, but none of them feel cheap and the piece generally favours slow-burning frights than cattle-prod shocks. The plot moves in a generally predictable direction, but it gets there in an enjoyable and occasionally inspired way. It's not interested in even pretending that any of its characters are going to get a particularly happy ending, and there's a sense of dread that escalates as the piece approaches its fatalistic finale. At the same time, it isn't an overly dour experience and a lot of it actually has a chaotically comedic energy. It knows it's ridiculous and sometimes uses ever-so-slightly self-aware humour to highlight this, but it's also as sincere as possible and understands that comedy and horror are two sides of the same coin. Even the most outlandish scenario can soon become utterly terrifying if it's allowed to go on for long enough, and vice versa; the directors know this well, and allow each scene to play out for exactly as long as it needs to in order to remain on the intended side of that equation. The whole thing is just put together really well and you can tell there's a lot of passion behind it. It's ending is also as surprisingly ambiguous as it is satisfying, an inevitable conclusion that sneaks up on you almost silently. Ultimately, this is a really solid slice of supernatural horror that's totally unsentimental about its characters and isn't afraid to get gross. I can't wait to see what the directors do next ('Talk 2 Me', I take it).",7
Some episodes werent very good but for the most part it was very enjoyable. I also liked how most episodes kind of ended with a question mark because we don't know how the story will continue. It feels unfulfilling but interesting as well.,7
"I've just seen 1917 and have to say I expected more than it delivered.It is not a bad movie but it's certainly not a great one either as many would have you believe.The acting is ok and the scenery convincing but the pace is often slow and some action scenes defy belief.For some to compare it to Saving Private Ryan is fancifull.It prompted me to watch the latter again reminding me what a great film it really is.Despite all the hype surrounding 1917 I doubt it will be remembered by many in years to come,unlike Saving Private Ryan which remains a classic of it's genre over 20 years since it's release..",6

"This series is unequivocally above average and sadly the majority of the negative reviews come from kids who are expecting a fast-paced action as their attention spans are short and limited. Think people who flip through social media daily to watch reels; slow burners aren't their thing. This is a well written, well acted, well directed slow burner. The storyline is brilliant and it has me completely absorbed in it and glued to my seat wanting more. The only criticism I suppose would be that there are scenes such as the one with full frontal nudity that seem unnecessary. Other than that, an outstanding series and you can never go wrong with the infallible Nicole Kidman. A must watch!",8
She ruins the whole show with terrible acting and a mindless spirit crushing script written by toddlers still learning to walk...robots are great though.,2
"This is the first review I am writing and I am writing it because I just had to. So impressed was I after watching this movie. I am still surprised that it has come from Bollywood and not Hollywood. The script is the strong point of the film (I shall not delve into it as it is a suspense story). It is original (as far as I know) and neatly does the job of keeping you guessing till the end. Though some people are not happy with the ending I was quite satisfied with the explanation given. It is an acceptable resolution from a psychological point of view. This film must be the first psychological thriller from Hindi filmdom and quite a credible one at that.

The execution of the script is also exceptional. Acting by all the key people (which by the way is only a handful) is very spontaneous and natural. Cinematography is in line with the thriller genre with a lot of shadows thrown in for good effect. Music (both songs as well as background score) also fits the mood of the film perfectly. Editing is tight and there is no lag in the movie. Overall this debut effort by Vijay Lalwani is quite appreciable as he steers clear from stereotypes and clichés. Kudos to the whole team behind KCK.

Alongwith ""A Wednesday"", ""Rock On"", ""3 Idiots"", ""Dil Chahta Hai"", ""Munna Bhai 2"", ""Chak De"", ""Lagaan"" & ""Rocket Singh"" this movie makes it into my list of all time favorite Hindi movies in recent times.",10
"I could only watch about five minutes. Look, I know this is a review and a review should include someone who actually watched a full episode at least, but I couldn't. The ""animation"" was so god awful that it just had this uncanny valley effect that makes it unwatchable. When I saw the reviews, I thought it was just people complaining about CG like in Knights of Sidonia or Golden Kamue - IT IS NOTHING LIKE THAT, this really is the absolute worst animated show I have seen since those old 1990's OVA anime rush jobs that were straight to video.",1
"Lots of people here getting turned off the sitcom parody aspect of the show. People, you need to pay attention... There are so many things that I happening visually that you need to keep your eyes peeled.Don't dismiss the show just because it is of short length or because you don't like old timey shows. Don't expect 30 40 minute episodes. Just imagine it as a movie that is split into segments. It's not like you are paying for each of the segments. You are paying one lump sum amount every month. So have patience and don't give up on it. It has a creepy,surreal,mysterious atmosphere under the the layer of cheery happiness and comedy",7
"A mediocre story, with standard (or maybe sub par) sfx, poorly executed... again!",4
"First things first how did this sequel one up itself from it's predecessor? Continuity: The film takes place 6 months after Stark reveals his identity in the first film and the entire plot is driven because of that.

Characters: Downey Jr. is back and his freestyle acting yet again is what brightens his screen time. Don Cheadle replaces Terrence Howard as Rhodes, which really didn't bother me that much because personally I think both Cheadle and Howard are brilliant actors. War Machine will not disappoint. Mickey Rourke plays Ivan Vanko who is a hybrid of the Crimson Dynamo and Backlash and this character should have been given more screen time. Paltrow comes back as Pepper and her ability to keep up with Downey has improved. If there is no Mandarin for this film at least they got Justin Hammer another well known foe who I think should have been the villain of the first film. Scarlett Johansson plays the Black Widow, pretty much that is a character for the male audience. And Sam Jackson plays Nick Fury.

Action: It had a lot more bad-assery (hope that's a word) than the first film, a lot more. However it wasn't presented like that in the trailer, which therefore I was sort of hesitant to expect greatness. If the trailer was presented like the A-Team thats coming out this year or the first Spider-Man film eight years ago then I would have bought my ticket way in advance. But don't be mislead, there is a lot of action sequences.",9
"A movie that tries to take comic book films to a new level. It tells the story of the birth of Batman and the beginning of all that which, with time, becomes essential for the batman legend; the bat cave, Archam, Commisionar Gordon, so on. The problem, in my mind, (although, to so many people this is the strength) is that the movie completely lacks the comic book flair. In my mind comic book movies should not be made as realistic as possible. There is no need for the Batman that we love to do marital arts training in some far off land to add ""respectability"" to the movie. Someone commented that with this film ""Comic-book films grow up at last"" but why the hell should they be growing up? The batman comic book is nothing like the Lord of the Rings trilogy and there is no reason to apply the same movie making formula to it. (you know, the formula; make it take itself seriously + add in ""good"" character development + good acting + make sure there isn't too much action + take everything from the fantastical to the ""down to earth"") And why does this formula work oh so well? Let me tell you why, because the Snobs of America feel this is what our ""shallow"" cinema ""needs"" to make itself more respectable, because they can come out of the movie feeling good about themselves for enjoying it. Sin City, the only comic book movie I can think of that literally was the comic book but in movie form, it worked. Daredevil which so many people found distasteful, was a perfectly fine movie based on a comic book. The characters were unrealistic, over the top, and it had an unrealistic artistic style that Batman Begins sacrificed for realism. Comic books are not just stories they are works of art! They are COMICS Some comics are serious, yes, like say, Watchmen, but this does not apply to superhero comics. Want to see a good Batman movie? Go see the first two that were ever made. Sure the characters were different, the story a bit off, but that doesn't matter, it was ""batman"". This? This was an action flick masquerading behind the bat mask. The only redeeming feature of this movie I could think of was the Scarecrow, but even he was confined to realism and hardly developed.",5
"Daniel Craig rather engagingly reprises his role as the ""Poirot""-esque ""Benoit Blanc"" in this fairly unashamed rip-off of all things Agatha Christie. He finds himself an unexpected guest of billionaire ""Bron"" (Edward Norton) on his beautiful Greek island, amongst a slew of other notables who - of course - each have an axe to grind with this outwardly affable host. The purpose of the get-together is a traditional murder mystery, and after an hearty dinner, it will fall on the other guests to discover who has murdered ""Bron"". Well, that's the plan anyway - but of course it doesn't take long for all of that to be derailed and for us to become embroiled in lots of concentric plots and tales of betrayal and duplicity that will truly test the mettle of our sleuth and the audience. The assembled cast provide for a myriad of characterisations and as we discover, an equally fertile source for suspicion and comedy. Kate Hudson is good fun as the nice-but-dim ""Birdie""; Dave Bautista keeps more than you'd think is his budgie-smugglers and Jackie Hoffman steals the show in the very few scenes she graces as his non-nonsense mother. The writing delivers a multi-layered feast - some of it basic and bawdy, some more sophisticated as the story gradually progresses towards a conclusion that navigates the red herrings before a denouement that wasn't quite what I was expecting. It looks really good, and it takes a swing at just about everything from corporate greed, vanity, vacuousness and stupidity - but it does it in a satisfyingly subtle fashion. Though rather slow to get off the ground, once it gets up and running it's a good watch.",7
If you can get through every Ellen Page scene without popping anti-depressants the best actor and scenes are by Robert Sheehan as Klaus. Everyone else is mediocre at best.,7
"Although I heard great reviews about this mini series, I hardly could finish it because it was extremely boring, pointless and without any reversal or anything to pique your interest. Overrated all the way!",2
"A gangster relieving himself...camera moves up...zipper closed in time...Phew! Points a gun at a blindfolded groom but fires his own hand...Bad Luck. Kidnapping business not going good for ""Bhai""Sahab(Sanjay Mishra, convincing) and gang(Manu Rishi, Amit Sial and 2 others). Reason...People cant pay up ransom due to Recession!

Entry of NRI Om Shastri(Rajat Kapoor, controlled & in top-form) who has received a Bank notice to clear his $100,000 debt within a month. He returns to India from New Jersey to sell his ancestral property & gets kidnapped. This is where the Movie begins...

Unfortunately, this is the only place where PGRO falls short...the initial pace, clearly a fault of the screenplay rather than direction. The initial scenes were certainly needed to provide for character development but a crisper editing before the interval could have elevated the movie to an altogether different level. It takes around the interval to climb the slope but certainly gives the promised thrill, thereafter. My only fear during the movie was that such an original story should not have a sudden or an over the top or an ending leaving you in bad taste. Thankfully, it did not!

On the acting front, Rajat Kapoor was spot on. The supporting casting was very well done too; Manu Rishi as the small-time gangster(Ani) inspiring his gang with Obama-speeches & Sanjay Mishra as a broke gangster with a dream to become a politician. Neha Dhupia as a man-hating Sculptor-Gangster (Munni with no Zandu balm!) tried to look her part but was overshadowed in her comparatively smaller role. Sadly, Amol ""Bhope-Bhau"" Gupte (Kaminey) got a smaller screen space, too but did his best. The slightly lower budget cinematography as well lack of songs (except one in the credits) enhanced the narration process. The humour in the writing bounced about from crude(interpretation of ""Yes, we can"") to good(Receipts for kidnapping ransom, English coaching scene) but didn't distract the storyline.

PGRO is a good example of what a good original script can do in the hands of a capable director(both by Subhash Kapoor) without an A-list star cast and Music/Dance sequences and high budget props.

Me and my friend were planning for Rakta Charitra 2 but landed for this as there were no shows for the former. I was greatly apprehensive of taking the risk of watching a movie I knew nothing about, on first-day-first-show (especially after the outrageously disastrous Raavan...shudder!).

I know this one wont be bothered by the Luv-SOrryyy & Ud-Ud-Bangg crowd. It's not a deep thought provoking or ROFL-hilarious drama either. But for once, I'm glad I took the chance.

Sense & Simplicity

"A simple kid's show treats it's viewers like they're stupid and prefer to rely on cutesy kids or creatures. This is not one. The show features the characters going through guilt, their own personal struggles, and revenge. The villains are never shown to just be dastardly clichés and are often made tragic instead.

No one is perfect and this show more than demonstrates. See, the Avatar, who acts as a bridge between the physical world and the spirit and who is in charge of maintaining balance, runs away from his destiny and ends up getting frozen in an iceberg for one hundred years. During this time, the Fire Nation destroys his people and he is the only one remaining.

When he is free from this iceberg he befriends a brother and sister, who are far from lame sidekicks, both having their own strengths that are built on as the show goes on. On top of that, the avatar rides a flying bison! It is badass and don't act like it's not awesome. Let your inner kid be brought out by this. The humor isn't embarrassingly bad (for the most part) so even if you're an adult give the show a little chance.

When I said inner kid I mean take the time to stop being so down with every day life and just sit down and watch the story.",10

Ortega acted really well in these episodes and I really enjoyed her dark Gothic style. By the way ,Emma Myers did perfect too,she is soooo beautiful and cute and I was totally smitten by her. Also,the scenes in it were also great.

However,to be honest ,there were also many points can be better. The story is full of mysteries in the beginning,but then became a little weak. And this series is a bit childish,if darker would be better I thought. It's a pity that Tim Burton only directed the first four episodes,if he can direct the whole season, things may be better. In all,it is satisfying and worth a watch.",7

The visual effects are fittingly caricatured and the characters suitably outlandish.

If you are a fan of old style physical comedy and Jackie Chan then you will love this film, it is a fantastic Saturday afternoon movie for all of the family.",7
"The first season had its moments, even with the misrepresentation of D&D and the frequently long episodes. Season two never should have happened. Each episode is duller than the one before and the 80s nostalgia vibe has just gotten tired. The performances are fine, but none of the characters have really grown much. And since they weren't that interesting to begin with, this is a problem. Highly recommended if you're having trouble sleeping, though. This will knock you out.",6

"It took me about a week to finish this movie; Glass onion prolongs a confusing plot once the pace quickens as I attempt to solve the mystery myself. Unfortunately, Glass Onion doesn't make sense to me, and here's why:

Without spoiling, there is one essential character that should've foiled the whole plot. That indication doesn't come until the slight plot twist toward the climax. As the puzzle pieces together, it leaves more questions and seems like elementary explanations to the murder mystery compared to the first installment.

Aside from Helen (Janelle Monáe), the characters didn't have much substance. Aside from a little introduction, I distanced myself from their personalities and motives.

Overall the appeal of the film is to solve the mystery, which is engaging enough, yet the execution isn't as effective. I find myself asking more and more questions:

Was that all part of the plan?

Are they all just stupid?

All this for what?

Does that mean Glass Oimiom did its job or not?

I think it's the latter.

Aside from the outlier of confusion, the recollection of what happened the night everyone showed up for the mystery is well put together. The little details I missed before the explanation gave me an ""ah-ha"" moment as I channeled my inner Sherlock Holmes and Scooby Doo, so much so that I should watch it a second time to gain a better assessment?

If you don't like slow movies that may be so simple, it's stupid; this isn't for you. But If you crave mystery movies that are focused on the finite details to tell a story, then you'll enjoy this. It's not the same as the first installment. Glass Onion is facetious with some wacky comedy, a solid mystery that comes together nicely toward the end yet still has me questioning things. It's an above the average film for me going to try these percentages out for my rating.

Grade: C+, 3/5 Genre: murder mystery, comedy Plot: B-, elongated, some confusion Characters: C-, didn't connect well.",6
"Watched ""Spider Man Homecoming"" in the cinema and was VERY disappointed in how childish it was. In that sense, this movie is no better unfortunately. Technically it was amazing, the effects was great except for a moment where I thought that a part of a scene looked false. But the rest of the movie was technically great. But the slapstick humor, the childish comments and dialogues, the stupid sequences during the closing credits and so on was a real letdown.

If you too associate Spider Man with the cartoons and live action movies from the previous decades with Peter Parker as an adult, and not as an insecure teenager, then you too will probably dislike this movie and the previous one as well. To me, the devolution from Peter Parker as an adult and student at a university back to his teens is just caused by the film studios greed and wish to get a greater audience regardless of the last decades of evolution.

I have always loved when a character from another series/movie have appeared in another series/movie. But now the superhero universe and it stories are so entangled with itself, that if you as I am are no movie-going-fanatic you are guaranteed to either not understand references or/and see/hear spoilers from previous movies when watching a more recent movie because of the entanglement!

So this movie, and the previous might be fine for newcomers to the Spider Man universe. But for adults that know Peter Parker as an adult, you might hate these movies and it's devolution as much as I do...",4

"Iron Man 2, much like the original, does a lot of things right. The special effects, the charisma, the characters, and the technology are all top notch. Watching Tony Stark play around in his massive, billion-dollar man cave makes every man/boy reconsider what he's doing with his life and why he didn't get into weaponry. So what's the problem? All the good stuff happens in the first 60-minutes, with the following 60 leaving not just a little, but a lot to be desired.

This film opens up with the it's new villain, Ivan Vanko, played by Mickey Rourke, a Russian physicist hell bent on not only destroying Tony Stark, but also his reputation and his enterprise. By creating a device that sends electric volts through cable whips attached to his back and arms, he not only gives this film a boost of fresh air, but he also creates one of the most unique villains to date. CGI aside, this dude looks completely crazy, completely frightening, and the most impressive part: completely real.

The rest of the story contains all the key characteristics of the original Iron Man, but makes them bigger, more exciting, and more out of control. The cars, the women, the style, the suits; it's all there. It doesn't feel old, per say, but it does feel a little outdated. My biggest concern, lies not in the fact that the film isn't innovative, it's that the film doesn't quite innovate enough. They start with an interesting villain, and turn him into something that's been done previously in Iron Man before; a man who creates another suit. They create Iron Man clones that don't do anything other than die at the push of a button or the shot of a gun. Iron Man and Tony Stark are still pushing boundaries, but everything around them is stuck in place. Where can the series go next? That's the exciting part.

There's a lot of talk in this film about the Avengers, the future installment of the Marvel franchise that features Ant Man, Wasp, Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America. Now whether or not these characters make it into the film of the same name is TBD, but it's safe to say that Iron Man is definitely going to play some part in piecing this film together and it might be exactly what this franchise needs to bring back the action and the energy we once thought that it had.

If you're a guy, you're going to check out Iron Man 2 no matter what I say. To that, I say go ahead, see it for yourself. It's a high budget action adventure film about a man in an iron suit. It can't be that bad right? Correct. It's not that bad, it's just not quite what it could be for the feature length, only about one half.

"Season 1 - 8 of 10 Season 2 - 6 of 10 Season 3 - 1 of 10

The show should have ended after season 1. Now season 3 has the worst character ever. Why producers thought the fanbase would accept such a nosey know it all is beyond me. Season 1 developed how secret, private and tight this group was and all of a sudden some nosey foreigner breaks into the group after a few months. STUPID!",5
"Watched this movie in 2021 and frustrated of myself how could I missed such awesome movie. Same time I feel lucky that somehow got a small clip of the movie on Facebook and that scene was such beautifully pictured and heart melting, I was forced to download the movie. Truly saying this is one of the fantastic movie and a must watch one. I don't know this was a hit movie or not in 2012 during release but I feel also in today's time if it will be released, will do a superb business in box-office. The gergeous deepika, natural actor saif and the pretty lady Diana did amazing work in this movie. The movie is a pack of drama, comedy, emotional Love and at last beautiful friendship relation. I am glad Today I watched it. I laughed, felt romantic and also it made me cry while watching the picture. While watching I also realised why saif Ali Khan is considered as the legend actor of his time. The flawless acting of deepika and the debutant Diana also won everyone's heart with her amazing acting skill. So happy that I watched it, just it made my day.",10
"The story is excellent, realistic and romanctic. Very good a acting. Thank you NETFLIX",10
"I don't understand why so many people liked the movie. The worst thing about this movie is the plot. Oooh, the entire world is a VR simulation, how original! Did they come up with it all by themselves? I found the movie to be very boring. Most of the action bits were ok, but between them we got lots of idiotic dialogue that was suppose to be clever. The movie should have been more like T2, with much more action, because the drama and subplots were just sad. And I also must say that the action scenes didn't brake any new ground. We've seen it all before.

I know I'm endangering my life here, but I think Godzilla is a better movie.

And what with the Bible-babble? ""What is the answer?"" - ""What is the question?""... Oooh, I'm impressed! Not.",5
"Well the spy genre is very clichéd. People who don't like this film are used to violent over the edge stylish spy thrillers like Salt. They expect a action sequence after every 20 minutes. Well this is not kind of movie. I think this movie has depicted the world of espionage as close to reality as possible. Let's be honest real life in not like bond movies. Though I enjoy bond movies. The real life spy world is all about psychological manipulation, mind games, double crosses and staying one step ahead.

This movie does exactly that. Jenifer Lawrence is awesome in her role, her character's journey from the innocent ballerina to the manipulating sparrow is a treat to watch. Action sequence are too few and they add to the realism of the movie. The cons are usual for the movies of these genre. They depict Russia as land of primitive savages who are always scheming and immoral. Well its Hollywood and CIA's propaganda so once you know it you can discard it. Other problem is Russian characters don't speak Russian they speak English with Russian accent. Well American audiences are too lazy to read subtitles.

Overall excellent cinema, realistic depiction of world of espionage , bad political narrative. I loved it. If you like slow burning psychological thrillers than go for it.",9
Decent cinematography. too much drugs/alcool/ and cigarettes exposition on purpose. maybe 4-6 episodes total be better for mini series. seem like the main actress very often interpret junkie/promiscuous character . bingeable.,6
"This show did have some potential but as others have said, the premise got old quick. After the first episode I was considering giving up because it didn't really grab me. I ended up finishing the show and it left me with that same feeling.

Episode 1 was definitely the worst episode as the show did get better in the middle and slightly declined towards the end. It seems like someone wanted a ""clever"" way to end off the series and ended up making it more confusing than it needed to be.

If you don't mind repetitive shows which are not too focused plot-wise, then this is the show for you! But there are definitely better things to do with your time.",6
"""Logan"" is another one of those movies that you are glad that the series films has ended. You watch the movie in the hope that it is better than the others, however, the end result is just as disappointing. This movie was not all bad, but it could have been an awful lot worse. Nothing much, just glad it's over.",4
This show has one upped itself ever since the manga. I believe this show has the best story that I've seen in a long time and makes me feel for every characters. I put this at a 9 because even tho this show is so good being a ten is unreal by putting It as a 10 would mean this is the best show but that's not it. Attack on Titan has flaws but you could say that about any show but this is a master piece and definitely should be watched just look at certain episodes star rating and they should speak for them selfs.,9
"Netflix really got the mix right with this one. In general the acting and character development is very well handled with particularly good performances from Aidan Gallagher (Number 5), Cameron Brittan (Hazel) and Robert Sheehan (Claus). The story line is what you would expect it to be for a series in this genre, but without being too clichéd. There are enough off-the-wall scenarios to keep you intrigued, but without loosing the cohesiveness of the plot. It hooked me and I can't wait for a second season to see where this adventure is going to lead. The show will have it's haters but it really works for me.",8
"The start is a little slow, but I don't think it's as bad as most people say. The old sitcom vibe has its own charm. The general story is interesting but the execution could have been better. The last episode is surprinsingly underwhelming and corny.

Some characters are annoying, especially Rambeau and Hayward. I didn't really care for anybody except Wanda and Vision. The special effects are great and one episode in particular is kinda touching.

It's not a bad show but I expected more. I think I prefer the Marvel shows from Netflix.

Final rating: 7,7/10.",8
"I really want to like this movie and this review is very likely pointless, I share an opinion with many of the other user's who reviewed this film. Imagery is great and acting is stellar, I really like the symbolism of sea lore portrayed, but simply disgusting. This movie plays the shock-value card, the concept of insanity this way is better portrayed in novels, leaving the consumer to imagine it themselves",5
"I do not need to work this hard.

Firstly; continually switching between English and subtitles is tiresome, and makes it hard to focus on the film.

Some of the situations felt a bit silly.

The rapid switching between scenes is jarring, and there is a general air of incoherence about the whole film; in an irritating way, not one that endears.",2
This isn't a good movie. It's high rating comes from Lady Gaga fans. Bradley Cooper plays the same type of redneck he plays in any other movie. There's no plot. No action. Nothing. I gave it 3 stars only for the song.,3
"Amsterdam, in my opinion, is one of the most underrated films of 2022. When I first saw the preview for this, I was moderately excited, despite not knowing what the film was about. It had a lot of talented actors behind it, s well as being directed by the same guy who did American Hustle, which I really like. I saw it in the theater and was not disappointed. Objectively, I'd say American Hustle is a better movie, but I actually enjoyed Amsterdam more.

This film has gotten a lot of flak from critics and audiences, which I think it doesn't deserve. Some of the arguments against it I don't even understand.

The film has a lot going for it. It looks great. It definitely has an atmosphere to it. I'm glad I saw it on the big screen. However, what truly makes this film work is the performances. Christian Bale is amazing in this role, though that can be said for everything he's in. He was easily the best thing about Thor Love and Thunder, and he's great here too. The rest of the cast is equally good. You have John David Washington from Tenet here. I did not care for him so much in that film, but here he's really good and funny. I don't usually like Margot Robbie either, but she's good as well. All three have great chemistry with each other on screen too.

Many criticize this film for being hard to follow, which I don't understand. I could follow the plot just fine. Those people probably just weren't paying attention. Another issue people have is that the film is tonally unbalanced. It could not decide if it wanted to be a comedy or drama. I understand where people are coming from here, but I did not mind the humor here. I thought film was really funny, while still maintaining a series tone when it wanted to. Much of that is due to how the actors delivered the comedy. It reminds me of the film Bullet Train, which came out earlier this year. That film also did a good job with balancing the humor with the drama and action. Rarely, enough, both films have Michael Shannon in them.

Overall, this film is highly underrated. It's not as bad a many critics say. I think it is definitely worth your time if you're at all interested.",8
"This show was an unexpected delight with a cast I came to love & a story that had me excited for each new episode. :) I was a fan almost immediately.

What I loved most about this quirky out of the box mystery solving series was the widespread appeal to various generations. I watched this show weekly with my sister (who's in high school), my grandparents (77 & 80) then me (28). It's something that brought us together & each of us got a laugh. We made a ritual of watching as the new episode dropped at midnight! So excited for season 2.

Definitely give this show a fair shake! It's clever on so many levels & I hope we will see more like it! Highly recommend.",10
"All Germans are treacherous devils, the only French we encounter are a damsel in distress with infant, all Brits are jolly good fellows. Is this what a century of warfare, decolonization and tentative European integration has taught the inhabitants of Albion about themselves and the world? Great movie, technically, but as far as the message of the story is concerned: Troubling to say the least.",5
"In Iron Man 2 Tony Stark is dealing with high pressure from the government to turn over his technology to make weapons, however he feels that the technology should stay with him, however another physics prodigy has other ideas…

The reason that the original Iron Man was so good for me, besides the fact that marvel had finally taken creative control over their own characters, was that Robert Downey Jr. was able to completely personify the character of Tony Stark. In Iron Man 2 he is back again doing all of the things which made the original so great. However in my opinion it was Mickey Rourke who stole the show.

With a combination of excellent script writing and an actor who has really found his form again, Rourke was able to take a Marvel character who isn't particularly strong or developed, and give him an amazing screen presence, every scene he is in you feel uneasy, with his appearance intimidating, and his lines delivered to perfection to give the audience the feeling that this guy knows exactly what he is doing.

Sam Rockwell is also typically brilliant as the Tony Stark wannabe, with all of the one liners, but none of the charm, every time he is on screen, you can't wait to see him get his comeuppance.

I do feel that after the first big action sequence the film begins to let off the pace a little too much, where I personally was left slightly bored waiting for what I was sure to be a big finale. One positive in the middle section for Marvel fans however is that the middle section is full of fan service, look out for a famous piece of memorabilia in Tony's lab…

This brings me to my next biggest complaint. Nick Fury, Samuel Jackson and the writers have managed to take one of Marvel's greatest heroes and turn him into what I can only describe as a non-character. Nothing he says in this film captures the comic book character, and some of the one liners are painful. I feel that fans of Marvel will like him purely because they know who he is supposed to be, however people who are unfamiliar with the comics I imagine will not understand this character.

However the ending of this film is so utterly well done that it reduces all of my complaints to knit picks, with a showdown of epic proportions that is sure to have you leaving the cinema feeling completely satisfied.

P.S. Marvel fans don't forget to wait until after the credits, no matter how much of a fool you feel waiting",8

"During our years we have seen many movies that talk about high school problems, well actually try to show us how their life goes in High School, but none stayed to amaze us like Superbad. This movie started and finished with me spilling milk out of my nose, and i only had a coke to drink. Superbad starts with some cheesy and ''gruesome'' (How a lady next to me referred it as) jokes which couldn't have been said better then by Jonah Hill and Micheal Cera. The jokes in this film are so well written and so well said.

Jonah Hill(Seth) is the type of nerd that fantasizes about his first sexual experience during class, he is also the type of friend you won't be ashame to have as he is acting anxious all the time.

Micheal Cera(Evan) is the type of guy that respect's a woman's mind and doesn't shift gear in a second.

This movie brought me to tears of laughter from the first second the intro started. If you need a movie to make you laugh about Current High School problems, watch this one and you won't be disappointed.",9
"The second Iron Man movie is a great sequel. It introduces some new characters and adds more Iron-man fun that we got in the first film. As always Marvel does a good job in making there movies funny and exciting. The movie is not as original as the first film, but It's still a worthy sequel.",8

"Pretty good movie, I expected it to be a closed room sort of whodunnit and it becomes quickly apparent that it is not that, it's a movie I could watch again to see how it all went down.

"Don't know why this movie is rated so high. Don't know what the director wanted to convey except that the character wanted to hand over some papers to stop the war.

There are continuous walks by the soldiers without any meaning. They reach an abandoned place and there's a cow and you find milk which is fresh. If it is abandoned who has milked the cow. But, then this guy takes milk to be given to some lady later who's job is only to tell the route to reach the final desintaion.

There are no plots.. nothing that is interesting except that the visuals are rich. Watched this movie only because this director had this movie American Beauty directed so well, which is connected so well.",2
"it would be better if i come straight to the point and discuss why i think this movie is better than tdk. when i watched spiderman2 first time i was blown away by it i felt like i never felt before watching a superhero movie, its generally very hard to relate to a superhero for us average movie goers.. after all how many of us pull their briefs on top of their trousers and go after bad guys... before spiderman2 superhero movies had the very usual worn out formula, there is a superhero there is a super villain and there is a girl, super villain come up with an ingenious plan to kill the superhero and conquer the world... spiderman2 has all this too but it has little more and thats what makes it the best superhero movie till this very day... and that thing is the failures of superhero the weakness of the superhero, his suffering and for a change him being a victim of others cruelty. and that makes us love, sympathize and pity this superhero. the movie is not just some high on adrenaline cgi cheap thrill collection of sequences (though it does have some great action sequence which you'll love), its much more... tdk is a great flick but in my opinion its overrated and spiderman2 is a superior flick and first of its kind... god how i wish they didn't screw up spiderman3 so bad..",8
"I secretly read Mario Puzo's The Godfather in 1974 when I was 12 after my mother prohibited me from seeing the movie. She was trying to shield me from the rough language and lurid violence. There sure was a lot of both but more so there were great characters. Vivid, real, flesh and blood souls that acted on well drawn impulses and ambitions. Consequences were openly inevitable but somehow jarring, devastating and poignant. Historical elements were stunningly precise yet grandly broad and vast. I was entirely, absolutely overwhelmed by the visceral sensations and sprawling imagery. So this is what ""literature"" is all about. This is what ""reading"", I now understood, could be. I had been something of a sci-fi junkie previously, but from then on I was a converted disciple of the Great American Fable. The story was truly great and I never could have imagined a better one until I finally saw the movies.

Astoundingly, Francis Ford Coppola's film adaptations surpass the novel in a few key details. The casting of Al Pacino as Michael Corleone is the single greatest improvement on the original story. Where in the novel, Michael is something of a strapping, virile, obviously competent man of action, Coppola introduces a crucial element of doubt by way of Pacino's diminutive stature. Though we are told Michael is a returning war hero, we are skeptical of his leadership abilities, especially in the company of such physically imposing figures as his father and oldest brother Sonny. Pacino's bodily disadvantage works to emphasize the complexities of his reluctance to join in the Family Enterprise, and makes his cerebral and emotional challenges that much more epic.

The other notable improvement on the book, of course is Marlon Brando, who created one of the most indelible characters for the big screen. There wasn't then, nor is there now, any other person in the industry who could so monumentally fulfill the herculean task with which that character is charged. Don Vito Corleone's function in the story is metaphorical, transcendent, mythological. He is the living embodiment of the ageless value of Heritage. Heritage which only endures through the tenuous bonds of family unity, but transported to a young, naive, unsympathetic land, is now being severely tested.

But since Godfather II begins after the Don is dead it is faced with the considerable challenge of how to maintain this crucial historical perspective. So, Gf 2 immediately whisks us back into time with a vignette of Vito's tragic childhood in turn-of-the-century Sicily. Later begins a series of flashbacks to his early manhood in New York City played by a sublimely low key Robert DeNiro. Oddly, he is not engaged in acts of wanton destruction, sociological delinquency or self indulgent pride. Rather, we are casually informed of Vito's entry into the underworld by way of seemingly reasonable acts. He is drawn as a man not just doing what is necessary to survive in the rough, often brutal New World, but driven by his familial responsibilities and a sense of duty to his community.

The period from which we are ""flashing"" is the late 1950s and early 1960s. By butting the ""old"" up against the ""new"" we are offered a sparkling view of the clash of cultures, of just how much had changed in those few decades. This dichotomy introduces a two fold historical perspective. By way of the contrasts between early and mid century life we are being informed of our present day (1972 and after) cultural afflictions. It's a subtle, almost invisible point, but one that is, I believe, extremely profound, the central theme of the story, and even more relevant today. Consider how, just one single decade after the time when the story ends to when the films were made, American life had so radically changed. Now consider how much things have changed since then.

While most fans of the film are impressed with the robust characters, compelling dialog and and terrific action produced with expert cinematic skill, I was even more fascinated by the film's more abstract qualities. Coppola, much more so than Puzo, is playing Socrates here, posing a dialectic query - How is it that primal cultural tenets might survive in a climate of overwhelming opposition? Francis is troubled, alarmed by the assault on vital culture that all humanity is experiencing today, and obviously very cynical that cherished and valuable, essential traditions can persist. This cynicism was a pervasive theme at the close of the sixties and it infused nearly all the great art of the time. Remember, the year of the book's publication, 1969, also saw the release of ""Easy Rider."" Not insignificantly, that too was a story of social outsiders, antiheroes colliding with an increasingly corrupt, immoral majority. This cynicism is the intellectual, psychological and emotional driving force of the The Godfather I & II, and it's the thing that kept me coming back to them, again and again.

So, what for many is simply a superb, if not the greatest, Gangster Movie, is for me one of the finest critical views of the American Way. It is, in fact, irrelevant that the Corleones are mobsters, because ultimately what destroyed them is what is destroying all Americans. The disintegration of the essential commitment to family and community - our succumbing to all the temptations that undermine our strengths - is our downfall. It's no coincidence that the tragedy ultimately concludes in Las Vegas, the spiritual center of America's true religion, the Capitol City of Temptation. Our cultural decline has progressed to where it is now terminally incurable. Great art in the service of a dying society. We have all become Fredo.",10
"We watched both seasons in a few days. Both seasons are exceptional. We were worried the 2nd season wouldn't be good based on the reviews. However, it was also exceptional. Both seasons are really good. We love this series! If you want some cool time loop show this is for you!

"Phase Two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is nearly at an end and Captain America is set to return to action once again in a very entertaining and satisfying start to the 2014 blockbuster season.

Since the events of The Avengers, Steve Rodgers/Captain America (Chris Evans) has become a full member of S.H.I.E.L.D. and is working as a top special forces field operative. During a rescue mission to save hostages from a notorious pirate, Batroc (George St-Pierre), Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) retrieves intelligence for Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) regarding Operation Insight, a scheme that allows S.H.I.E.L.D. to have three Helicarriers across the globe. With S.H.I.E.L.D. constantly targeting threats against America, Captain America objects to the morality of this policy and brings it up to Fury. Nick Fury then attempts to examine the intelligence even he does not have clearance and he becomes the target for the mysterious assassin known as the Winter Soldier. Captain America ends up being a public enemy, along together with Black Widow, where they both have to expose an enemy within S.H.I.E.L.D. as they are targeted by the agency.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier satisfies both as an action film and being a more complex story than any other films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The conspiracy storyline forcing Captain America to go rogue is very much Marvel's version of spy thriller and our hero having to battle a secret internal threat, like Jason Bourne against Tredstone, James Bond versus Quantum and Jack Bauer and rogue elements of the Palmer administration during the second season of 24. Washington D.C. is the main setting for the film and plays a big part of the story due the film taking place in the intelligence world and like Iron Man 3 has a big conspiracy and investigation as a part of its narrative.

The Russo Brothers took on the directing for the sequel, who are known for directing episodes for Community and Arrested Development. For the two brothers who come from a comedy background, The Russo's end up making one of the more serious films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They successfully cut their teeth with big budget filmmaking, showing confidence by giving us a fast pace adventure, bringing us the Marvel version of a thriller and providing some solid action sequences. Some of the action sequences were shot too closely, in a confined space like a lift or in a ship, not so good during a fist fight in the middle of a city. This was made up for by an action-packed third act as Captain America battle his match and greatly realises the use of Falcon and his flight pack as the camera follows him in the sky. The action for most of the film is based around good old fashioned fist fights, gun battles and chase and there is much raw, grounded feel as Captain America fights the Winter Soldier and highly trained assassins.

Many actors joined the cast of Captain America and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Robert Redford adds a lot of gravitas giving his years of experience and prestige as he plays the villain of the piece. Anthony Mackie as Falcon is always a welcome presence and he allows one of Marvel's minor characters to have his time to shine. Emily VanCamp and Frank Grillo were solid enough in their supporting roles: Grillo was an impressive physical threat in the henchman role and is in really good shape for someone in his early 50s.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier has obviously uses the themes of both The Patriot Act to monitor people and the use of drones to attack potential threats and Captain America acts as a critical voice as he starts for real America values of freedom and liberty whilst S.H.I.E.L.D. which has been a more ambiguous force saying these action are used to protect America. While this film was written before the Snowden leaks, it is easy see parallels between real life events of the NSA to the action of S.H.I.E.L.D. When the villain's plot is fully revealed, it shows a more complex, subtle plan raises issues about social control and manipulation and the American Industrial-Military Complex.

Captain America: Winter Soldier is a film that stands on its own, servicing as an excellent stand alone event and even more rewarding to experience to fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Russo Brothers and writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely give fans little Easter Eggs of the wider universe that comic fans will recognise which will not be spoiled here. There are potential set ups for expansions to the franchise and the post-credit scenes whet the appetite for more.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is film that delivers on both the action front and on story. It will please fans of Marvel and fans of action spy genre. It is the best of the Marvel Phase Two films so far.

Should focus more on monsters. More graphic. But is good.,7
"Let's start with the good: the protagonist is a fanboy and he's a damn good actor. It's obvious that Geralt is an emotional role that speaks to him and he knows the character and how to portray him. The music is sublime. The discordant fiddles in the music really capture the raw nature of the world that's being portrayed. This might be based in folklore, but it's no fairytale - here be monsters, kings and peasants and all the violence that accompany them. The cinematography is what I least know about, but I find it to be exceptional.

The writing and the pacing is where it falls short. Herky jerky backwards and forwards through time, with no notice and integration between the periods. Too much is left unexplained to the uninitiated, those unfamiliar with the Witcher universe, which is a rich and engaging source of storytelling and entertainment. Quite frankly, I didn't recognize this portrayal of Ciri - it didn't feel like her at all and I have no idea what her manifestations of power were meant to signify, why they were important, or how they pertained to the overall plot.

I just hope they pull it together for the next seasons.",7
"As of today's date, I would say this is the film produced by Luckychap Entertainment that I've liked the least, despite a more than promising trailer. Despite a perfect cast (Margot Robbie & Ryan Gosling seem to be born to play these roles, and the adorable America Ferrera & Emma Mackey are always a delight to have on screen) + sets & atmosphere that exceeded my expectations, I wasn't convinced by the storytelling at the end. The first half of the film is great, but things get complicated when Barbie & Ken leave Barbieland, and here we fall into the trap of a war of the sexes, when I think it would have been more appropriate to try and raise awareness of the fact that ""domination"" never serves anyone. In short, the film is worth seeing, but I have to admit that given my expectations of it, I'm a little disappointed, even if the costumes/settings/acting are stunning.",7
"I found myself enjoying the young Vito Corleone arc with Deniro much much more than Al Pacino's arc. Much of the movie is boring but the good parts are very memorable. I think it's a bit much that this movie is IMDb's 4th best ranked movie, it was way too long. But I guess I can't deny the significance of the Godfather films.",7

"The first film was very good and I had been awaiting this one's release with high hopes. Unfortunately, those hopes were dashed within about 15 minutes of the start. The story is pretty much non-existent and it has far too much reliance on CGI which dominates the entire film and is completely overpowering. As a result, Cumberbatch's acting talents are stifled. The supporting actors are downplayed, making the entire film more of an ordeal than a pleasure to watch.

"Not usually into horror, but this one really impressed me! The story was solid from start to finish, and the ending left me thoroughly satisfied.

Following a group of teens using a chilling ritual to summon spirits, the film delivered intense moments with gruesome displays. It wasn't scary for me personally, but the horror elements were well-balanced, allowing the actors to shine.

The movie skillfully built up the story and had unexpected character twists. ""Talk to Me"" explores the eerie world of conjuring spirits, bridging the living and the dead. A terrific display of possession on both sides!

If you're a horror fan, this one's a must-watch! I'm giving ""Talk to Me"" a solid four out of five stars!",8
"This is definitely not an 8+ rating show. These days the trend seems to be to rate 10/10 by close people of the movies/show at early opening, enough so that overall rating doesn't go below. This is ill practice.

The show could have been 8+ if the it was written properly and executed well. Good concept and it was gripping first few episodes. Then it became kinda boring and last 2 episodes are completely useless. All the endings also seem pointless and odd.

Female characters of the show Aditi Rao Hydari, Shweta Basu Prasad and Wamiqa Gabbi acted very good. Didn't like acting of Aparshakti Khurana, and he was not suited properly for this role either.

Overall the show is okay, could have made better if they would have put more attention to the story and screenplay rather than just studio sets. There are so many errors in the show, too many to list here.",6
"Game of Thrones was neither the first nor the best ""fantasy"" show involving swords and kings and dragons. The short stories and the first book this show is based on were released before the GoT books, so there's that.

As per the show, it is outstanding. It has a little bit of everything. Ignore the critics-they are disconnected from reality.",9
"You can see the sudden and dramatic shift from creating a quality show in season one to using the show to push a Leftist narrative in season two amd the show seriously suffers from it. While the over the top violence and action is still really good, the woke feminist influence in season 2 really hurt the writing quality. They seemed more concerned with making the Russians, the alt-right, and Christian fundamentalists the bad guys even though then with crafting a story that actually made sense.",5
"Was Avatar 2: Way of the water as good as the original? No. I don't think so, not by a long shot. Avatar 2: Way of the Water was rather boring in comparison to the first one. Didn't much care for the storyline at all. Twenty five minutes into the movie, myself and two other adults in our party were ready to leave the theater.

Based on the disappointment of this one, I don't think I'll spend any money to see the next one. In fact, we all agree, we will wait until it's on streaming then maybe.

The first movie was incredible. This one didn't have the same wow factor, as we've seen this all before. I had hoped for an awesome story but it was rather meh.",3
"Going to this movie felt like we are finally ""back to reality"". I went to a packed theatre and the movie had it all: laughs, action, and mystery all as advertised.

Daniel Craig was superb as expected and the rest of the cast held their own. Loved seeing Edward Norton's comedic chops (Death to Smoochy anyone?) and lots of fun cameos, as the classic sequels tend to have.

Is it a movie of substance? No, not really. The first was a refreshing murder mystery with subtle commentary. This new one was heavy handed with cheap thrills. It is not winning any Oscars.

All that being said - it IS A FUN MOVIE.",7
Great songs but the movie I recommend to be watched only if you don't have something else to.,3
"A very disappointed movie of Tarantino... Trying to joke with some Hollywood urban legends I didn't like at all some jokes about Polanski's massacre and very disappointed the configuration of Bruce Lee like an asshole. The movie was very slow , very deep sh*** jokes and mentally k.o. All Tarantino movies I watched 3-4 times each movie but this one I'm so disappointed losing 2h40m of my life.

NEVER WANT TO WATCH THIS MOVIE AGAIN",5
"Moon Knight is one of the biggest surprises. A tv series that introduced a mysterious and complex character in a creative, dramatic, and dark way that fits the character of Moon Knight. Directed by Mohammed Diab, Mohammed gives us a great representation of Egypt and the middle east in a way that isn't like any other typical middle east representations where it illustrates sand and similar stuff. Even tho there where a lot of sand and desert in this series, what Diab represented in terms of the Egyptian culture and the monarchs of ancient Egypt is different and unique. Moreover, the great use of some Egyptian music songs in the opening and closing credits. For instance, the song El Melouk by Ahmed Saad was featured in the closing credits of episode 3.

The use of some props and other small cinematic techniques and details helped a lot in terms of the storytelling as it made it better to understand things. For instance, the use of mirrors and cinematography to illustrate the different characters within the protagonist and how it progresses/changes throughout the series. Moreover, the color palette of some scenes in the series is stunning. For instance the one in episode 3 (won't mention the scene to avoid spoilers). I believe that MoonKnight presented yet another great suit-up scene. It reminded me of those great Iron Man suit-up scenes in Iron Man 1 and Avengers Infinity War in which MoonKnight is very close to being as great as them.

Oscar Isaac is phenomenal, especially in the last 3 episodes. His acting performance keeps getting better and better episode after another until it reaches the last episode. He is able to portray the different emotions his character is feeling and the different events his character has witnessed. May Kalamaway who is by the far the greatest thing this series has. Loved her character development and where she ended in the last episode. She gave the series its own taste and kind through her great appearance which meant a lot. Finally, Ethan Hawke is a good villain but not what I expected. I felt like there should've been more effort put into his character and into his acting as I felt it was so basic and presented nothing new or unique that would put him next to the great villains in the MCU.

The series does have a few flaws as it might be a little disappointing at times. However, it still did satisfy the fans of Moon Knight as it did stick to its comic book originality sometimes, especially in terms of customs and sometimes the events of the story. In addition, the series kind of ruined the villain as it made him look weak, especially in the first 3 episodes.

Last but not least, Hesham Nazih's great music score added a lot of power and hype to the character of MoonKnight. Really loved how the music was also inspired by Hesham's previous music score as it was similar to a few pieces he scored before. Also, how it had a lot of inspiration from Egypt and its culture.

MY RATING IS 8/10.",8
"Much has been made of 1917's cinematography which, through very skilful editing, makes it appear that the film is shot in one continuous track. It's done extremely well, although there is a very clear, deliberate and unambiguous break slightly over halfway through.

1917 is the latest film from director Sam Mendes, who co-wrote the script with Krysty Wilson-Cairns. Its story is of World War 1 lance corporals Schofield and Blake (George Mackay and Dean-Charles Chapman) who are commanded by General Erinmore (Colin Firth) to run a message to a battalion of 1,600 men to call off an attack the following morning which will result in their massacre.

The film takes on the character of a portmanteau piece as the two messengers run into each episodic scene before moving on to the next one. Some of these scenes work better than others. And it has the drawback of too many shallow cameos from actors unable to bring any depth to their part. The one exception to this is the excellent Mark Strong as a gruffly benevolent and politically-savvy captain who clearly knows the best way to keep his men alive is by being supremely efficient at his job.

The plot has soap opera elements to it - lance corporal Blake is told his brother's one of those about to be slaughtered. And there's plenty of contrived happenstance; suspension of disbelief is sorely tested more than once. The lingering doubt that the mode of delivering the message isn't perhaps the first option that would come to mind is never really dispelled. But perhaps the film's main failing is its emotional sterility, only at the end is it moving.

Sir Sam is a director of deserved renown whose two recent films for the Bond franchise, Skyfall and Spectre, are amongst the best of that canon. And his skill as a director is shown in 1917; despite the negatives it remains a film with some great merit. I feel Sir Sam has simply allowed technical wizardry and the bait of Oscars to take precedent over storytelling. He's a good filmmaker. He has more good work inside him.",6
Let me ask you this. You ask some very good actors to be in your movie and then you give them nothing to do. That is the problem with this movie. All the famous actor have nothing to do and their part are very small. The so called murder you figured it out in less then 10 minutes. And Craig accent sucks badly. It's very hard to listen to him. I could not wait for this movie to end I was ready to leave after 10 minutes into it. Wow boring.,1
Thank You for not ruining this wonderful series of books!! Nicely done! I hope there is more!,10
"Even though I enjoyed the first one as a comedy movie itself (and not a hero movie, more like an ""introduction"" movie into becoming some sort of hero), it was ""ok"" for me the fact that they inserted a very generic, uninteresting, forgettable villain in it (by now we always expect this kind of villain in MCU introduction movies).

Well, this time they expanded the team into Ant-man + Wasp, which was nice. But that was the only main change (besides the after-credit scene).

They still managed to create the same structure of the previous movie, instead of a ""hero movie""...again a comedy movie... instead of a well developed villain, again the same uninteresting and forgettable villain.

Personally I think I lost money watching it since it was again more of the same, maybe I have should waited until it was on Netflix or something.",2
"Autobiographical movie. In the opening sequence we understand that mother represents art and father represents technology. Cinema is a mix of 'dreams' and technics.

This film seems to document the changes in movie making through the 60s-70s in Hollywood.

The scene where Sammy confronts his mother about her extramarital relationship with uncle Benny is the turning point of the film. But a scene that haunts my mind is the death of grandfather shown by the stopping of the pulse.

The film wants you to pick up camera and play around with filming and editing.

Nowadays, even if I'm clicking a picture on my phone, I am now asking myself ""where is the horizon""?",10
"What are the classic murder mystery series components?

1. There should be a death in first part (ticked) 2. There should be investigators one trying to close the case ( in this case police) and one seeing something fishy (in this case the trio of Mabel,putnut and brazzos) 3. There should be suspects changing in each episodes (ticked) 4. In most of the cases the investigators have their own mental/family issues , examples are Broadchurch, The fall, Happy Valley and so many (Here also three main characters have that) So what makes only murders in the building interesting ? The answer is prop used here is unique as it doesn't depend upon Police or CIA or some crime branch its the people who are making the podcasts and the second is its comic touch because there is steve martin,martin short off course.

Lovely watch, I am already glued for season 1.",8
"The Movie doesn't have logic way,its starts somewhere and no logic way for all movie.But there is was couple very dramatic scenes,that probably because this movie got rating 9.1,because people only see the dramatic scenes,and they cry and they put big score for that movie,probably 99.5% its women.This director kris nolan must do melodramas,he will be number one it!!!!.Thats why its got big rating,because people like to cry and remove they emotion somewhere,and that movie is great for it,you don't need to pay to your psycho couple hundred per hour,you just pay $11 for imax and you can cry for 3 hours.Good deal!",1
"I found this tv show pretty overrated. The plot is kind of illogical but not in a subconscious, David Lynch kind of way. The actors are on the edge of been unpleasant to look at, many scenes are too dark to clearly see what's going on (and again, not in the way to let your imagination fulfil it but probably to hide bad costumography). The retro synths sound great and that's probably the main highlight but the sound is too dynamic - actors are sometimes mumbling something that I've couldn't understand while the other scenes are too loud and jumpy. The worst part are woke stereotypes that should break the traditional stereotypes: a black kid who doesn't feet the character and a female superhero who saves everything.",4
"As a fan of the game since the mid 90s, it's been a long time coming to get a twisted metal adaptation. After the iconic twisted metal black came around with classic story mode videos and origins, I wanted a live action film. While they changed it to series form after the many years of spitballing and conceptualizing a film idea, I'm glad it ended up being (fleshed) out. It does the video games rather solid justice no matter how wacky.

The main draw is clearly the ballistic action and classic vehicular bloodshed. While it does require a bit of patience in the beginning there are some really effective visuals that harken back to classic scenes in the game. The dark comedy is never ending and can be overwhelming but actually works a majority of the time. The characters are just as interesting as in the game even with some changes and tweaks from the game. Mackie shows he can be the star of the show and is excellent. Arnett steals the show as the timeless voice of Sweetooth/. His antics make the show what it is and worth it. Another standout is the various settings that serve as perfect backdrops for the story. They truly emulate some of the levels in the game.

Overall this proved me wrong and many others after many of us judged the trailer harshly and thought it wouldn't live up to expectations. It truly does being twisted metal to life.",8
"This was a decent flick. Lots of fun pop-culture references, but the clichés and PG-13 rating-environment unfortunately makes it a little dreary.",6
"A cocktail of banalities, predictable dialogues and characters, stereotyped scenarios and boring storytelling. Hadn't seen anything so annoying in a long time... Except for a couple of great actors (Elisabeth Shue and Simon Pegg), nothing worth watching.",3
"Now, how often do we fall in love with murders and gory. This Series brings out art in murders. Each and every murder is beautiful in its own way. The imagination is so vivid, you almost fall in love with the killer. The direction is fascinating and the imagery is magnanimous.

You would instantly fall in love with culinary skills of Mr Hannibal. The raw aura of silent disaster he possesses is immaculate.

All in all, this is one the best things to be ever made. Each episode increases your appetite for more and more.

I'm hooked to it and it makes you desire it. I would recommend see it before you die!!! Killing was never so beautiful.",10
"Many reviews of season 3 are largely based around Ani's introduction and involvement in the season, mostly about how unnecessary her introduction was. But season 3 is a reset season for the show, it had to go in a new direction. Had it gone the same as season 2 it would have nosedived further. Season 2 for many reasons was not as good as the first, that's relatively unanimous and for that it was necessary for new focus and drive behind the character motives.

Is Ani's character a little annoying? Yes. Is it a little too evident at times that these teen characters are written by adults? Yes. Was she required to push the narrative in an alternate direction? Yes she was.

There are cons to this season, issues that are difficult to see past at times, however it is written incredibly well, you are kept guessing in a classic whodunnit fashion with the viewer being lead to conclusions. The camera work is quite spectacular at times especially with transitions between scenes. The acting although questionable at times can also be very believable and immersive.",7
"I honestly don't have a good thing to say about this movie. Everything about it was misdirected and an absolute mess. A hot mess. It felt like the writers watched Rick & Morty once and thought ""we should do that"", but failed miserably.

I expected a lot from the actors - Elizabeth Olsen, especially - and got nothing. Poor performances and a poor script.

Most of all I'm disappointed at this version of Scarlet Witch as the villain. Such an interesting character, with so much build up and understanding, but by far the most bland villain since Thor 2.",2
"Anime may have developed a loyal and feverish following outside of Japan since the dawn of high-speed internet but in reality, fans will likely always have to contend with looks of bemused, quiet judgement when their grandparents ask why they're watching ""those funny Asian cartoons again"".

Now and then however, a series will come along with crossover, mainstream appeal that seeps into western pop culture and introduces a new generation of viewers to the world of anime and manga. Dragonball Z, Sailor Moon and Pokémon all found homes on international T.V. Channels, and even casual television watchers are likely familiar with at least one of those franchises, if only because of the ""it's over 9000!"" meme. Likewise, it's no coincidence that Hollywood is currently in the process of churning out live-action versions of Death Note and Ghost In The Shell whilst rumours of an ambitious Akira project continue to swirl. More recently, Attack On Titan has succeeded in attracting anime newbies and connoisseurs alike with its brand of gore-centric action sequences, intriguing mysteries and fist-pumping soundtrack.",9
"If you voted 10 for this film, you'd better be 10 years old or else this is simply unforgivable.

Pirates of the Caribbean is a truly excruciating experience. I hate this film on so many levels, covering so many aspects and ranging from crew to cast that it actually makes me physically ill to watch. So if I hate this film to the core, then what's the 2/10 for, you ask? The answer is; I think this film could be entertaining to kids and the odd pre-teen. It is, after all, a Disney production based on a popular Disney ride in a theme park and I think this explains its paper-thin plot of ""saving the damsel in distress (Keira Knightley), killing the bad guy (Geoffrey Rush) and having an over-the-top comedic sidekick (Johnny Depp) whilst doing it"".

I don't know whose genius idea it was to cast Orlando Bloom as the romantic and heroic lead, but this choice helps him cement his position as the resident Hollywood lucky-guy, getting by without so much as a shred of talent, but inexplicably being offered big-budget project after the other. Furthermore, my theory is that Bloom's bad acting is contagious and affected the rest of the cast of Pirates of the Caribbean like a nasty case of the flu. Keira Knightley is a stunning woman but all she does here is pout with her pretty lips until she gets to deliver some cheeseball tough-chick line like ""You like pain? *WHAM* Try wearing a corset."" I'm no member of the Depp camp but I think he has pulled off some great performances in the past, but in Pirates, he is so over-the-top and corny that this can impossibly appeal to an adult audience.

So aside from the cringe-worthy ""corset"" line by Keira Knightley, the dialogue-writing on the film really puzzles me. It's like it's camp but not intentionally. I believe this film truly thinks it's clever and amusing when it's only extremely embarrassing. Juvenile generic action sequences, long-drawn segments, contrived performances, dumb plot and overblown special effects make Pirates of the Caribbean an unwatchable adventure.

2/10",2
"As an amateur filmmaker myself, not having seen this movie would be a true indictment on myself. Scorsese is probably the second biggest director of all time after Spielberg, but this one did not hit it for me. The pacing is way too slow for me, the story is not exciting and honestly, for a 3 and a half hour movie, didn't have many climaxes. I'm writing this as a genuine fan of cinema and not necessarily as a big fan of Scorsese, and this one was simply not for me.",5
"With American Elementary, with awesome old Soviet multi-series TV film, with countless movie adaptations, this British take may seem a curious curio (pun intended) but it veers so wantonly on the brink of low taste, weird plot, weak twists and mindless choices that it finally plops on miserably in the realm of utter failure. The biggest weakness is Martin Freeman as Jogn Watson.Notmore than a talking unit of moving furniture he seems to be, but this is who he actually is all through the serial. Benedict? Nay, pals, this is a barmy twicking weirdo with no deep substance behind and with no real liking induced towards him. The episodes drag mercilessly slow and weaker moments slay all the promising premises. The modern day ideas that appear in the series only add to the larger canvass of miserable boredom. Spare a moment to watch this serial and then you will ask yourself what you've just seen. I tried my best to like it, I failed.",1

I really like marvel but if i have to compare to other Marvel movies this was one of the worst for me. Production budget feels pretty huge and vfx is not terrible, could be better. Problem is the script... Anyway, still better than Arrow/flash etc. Cheap shows.",6
"I loved it and I do hope there are many seasons to come! My biggest complaint was the CGI. I was so excited for the dragon especially after seeing advertisements comparing this to GOT. I expected something amazing and then was so disappointed. The CGI for the dragon was like something from a low budget sci-fi flick, just awful. Please invest more and fix this for next season (if there is anymore dragons)! Why film everything so fantastic then skimp on the CGI? Make it epic. Also, as a newbie the time jumps were a bit hard to follow. I didn't catch on till it was a bit late. I think even some small text as direction would be an easy fix, wasn't too big of a deal. Cast was awesome. But if I was familiar with the game/books, I think the casting of Triss would annoy me. Other than that, I think the show has so much potential and would like to see how the coming seasons play out. I feel like I just complained a lot but that's in hopes of Netflix making some improvements. As far as script/writing... didn't notice, it was fine. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought it was pretty fantastic! Binged. Excited for what's to come :)",9
"This movie was a letdown. The graphics may do it for some people, but the plot was non-existent. Most of the time it felt like a direct copy of other movies: lion king (the holding up of the baby to the sun//star and then again leaving the offspring off in a ""forbidden zone"") Black Panther: pretty much the whole movie feels like black panther 2 continuance.

Titanic: the end scenes Terminator: just the random, wanton violence and destruction.

3 hrs is too long for this movie. There should be congressional approval needed for movies longer than 3 hrs.

I am reluctant to criticize James Cameron creations, but this certainly was a huge disappointment.",4
"The songs of this film are good. Especially the ones that comes in when Ally dig deep in her heart and soul. Otherwise it was a mediocre film with nothing new to offer. If one has seen Bollywood movie 'Aashiqui 2' they will know exactly what I am talking about. That film mind you was way better than 'A star is born'. It had better music, better acting, better story telling, better feel. What a shame. Same old thing repeated in Hollywood but with much less effect.",5

"I'm a man in his 40's and I know I'm clearly not their target demographic. I went with my girlfriend and her two daughters and they enjoyed it.

The sets were all very very well done. They put a lot of time into them. The acting was awful, but awful on purpose? I'm not sure. The plot was confusing at times. I wasn't sure what that big battle was for. Why were they fighting? No reason or lead up to it was there.

I really enjoyed the scenes when they were in the real world. They did good with the 'fish out of water' thing. I laughed a couple times.

The sexual innuendos were there and I thought they were funny but thankfully my girlfriends daughters did not understand them.

I would say a 11-13 year old girl would enjoy this.",6
"No really, it would be far better. Anyone who saw Shutter Island know that.

Instead we got mix of Matrix and attempt to bring elaborate drama to story. Nolan does tries but not his best, he did not kick it here good enough. And we now he can, there are other examples of that (Prestige, Dark Knight). Thing here it seems he could not decide to pursue drama that is private to De Caprio or to pursue more intensely action and dream sequences making it more of an action flick.

Concept, although interesting, was sluggish in execution. More than few times movie feels lost, and that is something you should avoid in movies of this genre (psycho thriller).It is like Nolan did not know how to wrap it all up. He did at the end but not in very interesting way.

I would gave this movie 5 star but Leonardo performance is exceptional so there goes one extra star.",6
As an actor I love Chris Hemsworth and as for the plot it was mediocre at best but the sound track was one of the worst I've heard in years,5
but this is too much. really.. ever since Chinese bought into the studios and the movies started showing in China the prostitutes in Chian started inserting everything Chinese into every single film to sell sell sell. It is unncessary and shameful but the whores in Hollywood won't stop until time and space fold unto themselves. Independence day II had a useless Chinese cow running around... doing nothing. The exact same thing in Kong. The (so-called Star Wars) Rogue One has a Chinese character...The farce Awakens has a Chinese woman who is a useless bar owner etc etc etc and of course Doctor Strange has 'Wong' and one of the sancta is in... Hong kong. Someone call me when Hollywood makes a movie worth my time because I am not going to watch the Marvel superhero film reboot sequel prequel #18 for this year alone anymore.,3

"I saw this film in 2004, long after the Oscar buzz had died down. I suppose it's a victim of its own hype. I enjoyed the film, but it seemed somehow smaller than I expected. Frances McDormand's Oscar-winning performance seems so trivial, seen through the perspective of eight years. The story is okay, though I again wonder about the Oscar the Coens received. (The 1996 Oscars were a somewhat weak field.) I spent most of the movie wondering if people in Minnesota and the Dakotas really talk that way, or is ""Fargo"" as much a travesty of regional accents as most ""southern"" movies are? Overall, the whole film was a nicely filmed, tight little story with apparently overdone regional ironies.",7

With the newfound free time, he decides to travel back to his hometown in an attempt to reconnect with his family. However, upon his return, he encounters unexpected challenges, including a severe case of writer's block. As the story unfolds, it takes us on a journey through various narratives within the Black community, breaking away from and making fun of traditional stereotypes. With an ensemble of talented actors, the film delivers exceptional performances, keeping the audience laughing and engaged throughout.",8
"I was looking forward for this episode! It takes the whole AOT plot to another level! Another chapter is about to begin, completely different compared to everything you watched until now.

But... it has Ryan Reynolds and he is always fun to watch. It has bad-ass, beautiful women toting guns and not afraid to use them. It has lots (and I do mean LOTS) of car chases so that's fun. And just a ton of action going on in general on yachts, with expensive cars and beautiful locales.

So all in all, not a bad way to spend an evening watching this movie. Not Oscar-worthy, but for me it doesn't have to be. It did what I came for it to do, entertain me.",7

And came for crimes, there is barely 1 crime shown by grindelwald. The movie can be condensed into 40 mins action packed sequence, doesn't deserve 2 hrs as it doesn't have enough content. The Warner Brothers are just trying to milk the franchise and fatten their checkbooks by converting a single movie into two pathetic movies. Worst Harry Potter franchise movie till date!",4

"The Boys feels like the result of a culture saturated for decades in video games and pornography, with writers so incapable that they confuse shock value for drama. It feels that way probably because it is. Stay far far away from this trash, it is a waste of time.",1
"The review contains some spoilers!

I wish Matt Damon carried on with his ingenious surviving tactics, fighting depression, fighting for each day until his death on Mars. I can understand that American military would send a chopper to rescue a soldier left behind (it costs them a little if they fail) but to spend huge sums to save an astronaut who by definition are meant to live and sometimes die in outer space is a bit like Saving Private Damon on a grand scale. Hence I see this flick as an American movie that is short on ideas, and would rather use clichés than be different.

So everything was fine until he got in touch with Earth: from there on we got inter-departmental fighting at NASA, young black scientist who is of Nobel Price winner stock, a bit clumsy and with some unorthodox ways of explaining his theories to bosses (but everything is allowed if you can save boss's bacon), then help from, basically, an enemy (Chinese - and it looked like a big favour but you wouldn't guess that because the Chinese involvement was described in about 2 minutes, probably in as many minutes as the clumsiness of young black brilliant scientist etc, please see above). And young blonds with big glasses to look like scientists, hilarious.

The key mystery here was: is this a fairy tale or Sci-Fi drama? I watched the Stardust the other night and it didn't feel stupid if I believed that you can actually fly to the stars if you light a Babylon candle (not just because I never had a Babylon candle in my hands). But The Martian wants to convince us that if you are stranded on Mars and you don't have a rocket, enough fuel, etc, you should look for a box with rubber bands (like those ones your grandma used for jars) and, after performing some mathematical calculations involving the gravitational forces, air density, the thickness of the rubber bands, their length and quality (throw away the Chinese ones), you can actually build a launcher that would take you to space. Unfortunately, I had rubber bands in my hands so it feels stupid to believe it. Some people are saying that the things described in the movie did happen, and maybe they did, but 50 years ago. They also made different films 50 years ago.

All in all, as my teacher used to said, 2 out of 10 for the effort.",2
Wanda vision is a bold direction paying homage to TV history that mixes early 1960s wholesomeness with a touch of the really weird. It's flirting with a mystery that hints at quantum mechanics and/or alternate realities that might be taking place in the mind of Wanda. It's a risky creative Vision that is going to pay off in spades. No pun intended.,8
"Really don't know what all the fuss is about, nice cinematograthy but thats all. There is very little tension and no real action, not a bad film just not a very good one.",5
"Sherlock Holmes is a 2009 film adaptation of Conan Doyle's fictional character of the same name. The film was directed by Guy Ritchie.Robert Downey, Jr, Jude Law respectively portray Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.

In 1891 London, Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey, Jr.) and Dr. John Watson (Jude Law) race to prevent a human sacrifice ritual conducted by Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong). Holmes and Watson stop the sacrifice just in time and neutralize Lord Blackwood.

Three days after Blackwood's execution, his tomb is found shattered, from the inside out, and an eyewitness reports seeing Blackwood walking away. Holmes and Watson find Blackwood's coffin contains the body of a red haired midget. Holmes follows clues from a pocket watch on the body to the midget's home, where they discover several chemistry experiments.

With Watson and Adler (Rachel McAdams), Holmes takes them to the sewers below Parliament where they find a machine that is operated by a remote trigger held by Blackwood that will release a cyanide derivative into the Parliament chambers. Holmes recounts that all of Blackwood's ""mystical"" acts (including faking his own death) were simply applications of science and trickery.

Adler explains about Professor Moriarty, and warns Holmes that Moriarty ""is just as brilliant as he is, and infinitely more devious"".

In the final scene, The police arrive to report a dead officer found near Blackwood's device, and Holmes deduces that fighting Blackwood was a diversion by Moriarty. Holmes accepts the case.

To talk about performances, Robert Downey Jr:He's great. Fun to watch, attractive, clever, he's the whole package. Bit old, but you will forget that with his tricks and charm.Jude law is also upto the mark and Rachel McAdams is soo cute. Dialogs are quick and superb. Background score is electrifying.The fight scenes, you will love them. Only bad thing is make-up.

This film is well worth a trip to the theater if you're looking for a fun ride that is easy to watch. It's not perfect but if you're looking to be entertained for a few hours without having to think or feel too much. I give 7.5 out of 10 for Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes.",6
"'Knives Out' was written and directed by Ryan Johnson, the man behind films like 'Looper' and 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi'. I have my problems with The Last Jedi, but I can't rate a film based on a directors earlier film.

Let me start with what I didn't like. This isn't your normal run of the mill who done it. The first act you learn something very vital to the plot and from there you don't feel much tension until the third act. With that in mind, my friends and I were still glued to the screen trying to piece together everything that was going on. It in the end was a bit predictable, but this didn't ruin the experience for me. The other thing I really didn't care for was Johnson's use of politics. Now I'm not a very political person, but he uses this to make some characters look ""evil"". I didn't see it when I first watched the film. I was very surprised he even added it in the script, but after thinking about it, he used it as a tool to make characters look more sinister. It's understandable why, but you can write characters to be hated without being political. I even laughed at one of the jokes that was said during this scene until I realized he was actually making a jab at people who think that way. But again, I'm reviewing the film - not people's political views.

Now what I liked. The acting was phenomenal across the board. Everyone was a stand out to me except for actor Jaeden Martell (Lieberher). He was previously known for his role as Bill in 2017s 'IT'. He does the best he can with what he is given but he really isn't in the movie, his character just sits around on his phone like me writing this review. I wish I could commend every performance in the film but we would be here all day. My two stand outs would be Chris Evans and Toni Collette. There was also a fun cameo by Frank Oz which was great. This film also has a great fresh style and direction. The way he opens the film really made me cheese. The way he wrote the film was also great. The little clues he gives you throughout were very clever and it kept me on the edge of my seat, literally. The film was also very funny; I was very surprised on how much comedy was in it.

Ryan Johnson's 'Knives Out' was a great film with fantastic acting! The story was engaging with a satisfying ending! It was a great time at the movies and I recommend checking this one out. It's no masterpiece, but this gets me excited for what new and engaging stories Johnson has up his sleeves - just stay away from 'Star Wars'.

Final verdict: 7.5 / 10

That's my 2 cents!",7
Worst movie based on fiction Indian Army in real is coward,1
"I don't usually watch R-rated films -- I'm no fan of gore or excessive violence, and I don't go to the cinema to watch sex -- but I made an exception for this, because I usually try to see Jennifer Lawrence's movies.

I do not at all understand this film's low ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and generally critical reception. It's another sterling performance, and it's a spy thriller that I for one definitely did not figure out as it went along. (In fact, I'm glad I was recently able to rewatch it through Fandango, because having seen the final twist, I wanted to go back over the film to see the events again, knowing the final story in advance).

JLaw is utterly convincing as an innocent swept into a cruel profession she would never have chosen. Her character undergoes a transformation before our eyes. Lawrence successfully conveys her character's initial terror and near-helplessness changing into competency and iron resolution.

The violence can be brutal (if you're not into that kind of thing). The sex and nudity is really minimal, although it is there.

I'm really glad I saw this film twice. I'd see it again. I recommend it.",7
Beacouse it surely has nothing to do with the books. I mean it is very nicely made and filmed but the casting choices and directing is just horrible.,1
Stop putting 'A Netflix Original' on the start of things as though it were some badge of pride. You've made a couple of good things. You've made many dreadful ones and this pile of garbage is one of them.,1
"Disney really messed up with this one.

I just didnt enjoy these CGI robots re inacting one of my all time faves.

The animal faces and voice acting barely show emotion.

I know it's the same story, but it's still a very poor re make",3
"The first episode moved slowly, but gave it a chance. Second episode flowed at a better pace - not great, but better. After watching the third episode, I'm not sure this series can save itself. The cast is remarkable, but the story drags on and on. After reading some of the top 10 reviews, I'm starting to believe that most of them are fake - unless ppl these days really enjoy dull, boring, and gloomy story lines.",3
"To all the haters - it's a kids show with Parker Posey, albeit phoning it in as she does here and still far better than the rest of the cast save Molly Parker doing her stoic best. But still, gotta keep the expectations in check when your male adult lead takes second to the real male lead, the formerly doe eyed kid with the Covid delayed filming growth spurt that now has him taller than anyone else save his beloved Robot. It does what it is supposed to do and hits all the kid show marks; eye candy cast working a not too hard to follow plot that delivers action, comedy, special effects, light family drama, even lighter romance, and most importantly the kids are better at saving the day than Mom and Dad.",7
"Solid series, but I don't recommend watching beyond season 4 if you enjoyed the show and don't want to watch it slowly die. The loss of several main characters took a heavy toll on the remainder of the show, and the plot after season 4 doesn't really work that well. The finale is underwhelming at best. Initial seasons will grab some laughs though.",7
"It astounds me that anyone could think that this incoherent mess of a film would be worthy of an Oscar. Having suffered through this complete train wreck, I still do not know what the plot or point of this movie was supposed to be.

It is pretty sad that I nearly fell asleep during the endless fight scenes. That is because they are largely pointless. After each fight, the rules just change and nothing is accomplished. The very first fight scene at the IRS is fun, I will admit, but after that the movie just keeps getting more and more ridiculous.

If you want a real plot with characters you care about, don't waste your time or money on this garbage.",4
The two main male characters english dub voices are awful. There are plently of plotholes and over dramatization. Tons of bad dialogue and silly moments.,5
"Outstanding direction, script, score, photography, production. Most of the acting is good. There are a couple of licenses here and there, but they're warranted by the dramatic purposes of a 5-hours long show. They explain beautifully what happened. There's an eerie atmosphere over the whole running time, and I watched the first two episodes again right the next day. Kudos. 8.5 stars.",8
"I could not get past just one episode, so boring and ridiculous it was.

Space suit that does not have an air pressure sensor? Water is freezing instantly (from the bottom), but everybody nearby wearing no hats and don't even think about fastening their clothes?

I love science fiction, but this is written by an inept student, who should have been trying to read at least one book in his or her life instead.",3
"Some people say they are confused by the ending of the movie.

Not me.

I didn't get that far.

Well, I skipped forward to see if anything vaguely interesting happened because two people sitting in a bar making up a story is quite tiresome, especially when the characters are so uninteresting.

And so at some point they use a violin case to travel in time and some mumbo-jumbo happens.

Great.

We might as well just have played the Sister Sledge song ""We are family"". At least we could boogie.",5
"Its your typical Spielberg movie, some cheap thrills, some suspenseful scenes to keep the kids entertained and a few quips for the adults. This movie is your typical journey of the hero, from humble beginnings (Luke Skywalker, Charlie Bucket), the audience follows the classic hero as he goes through countless challenges that tests his wits and ending with satisfying reward for his efforts.

IF you're an adult in his late 30's, you will be bored and feel uninterested by the time the movie reaches its climax.",6
"There are some good films in the Conjuring Universe ~ this however, isn't one of them. That could be the end of the review, though I will go into further details, beginning firstly with the good.

The film opens with Ed and Lorraine Warren, reprised by Wilson and Farmiga, who are as entertaining and likable as usual. They occupy less than 10% of this feature, their central purpose being to introduce how the doll came into their possession, after which it was locked in the glass vault we see in The Conjuring. They then leave the house for...reasons (this was either never explained or I dropped off - neither of which is a good sign), and their daughter, Judy (Mckenna Grace) is put under the care of friend and babysitter Mary-Ellen (Madison Iseman), whose bestie Daniela (Katie Sarife) accompanies her.

From that moment on, the girls are the central characters, each receiving equal screen time and having good development, growing as characters as the film comes to an end. Judy is the young, religious girl, whose peers at school have recognized that her family, for lack of a better phrase, fight ghosts, and predictably, she is made fun of, with other students blatantly terrified of her. At the same time, she is coming to terms with the gift she inherited from her mom, to interact with spirits. Daniela on the other hand, is the strong, rebellious girl, on the outside at least, who is dealing with a traumatic death in the family, which she feels responsible for. Finally, Mary-Ellen is the diligent young woman who lacks confidence and has asthma. Yeah, scratch what I said earlier - her character receives the least amount of depth.

As this is a horror movie, we have to talk about the scares, or, more aptly the jump scares. These are occasionally executed well, with a couple of nice surprises that do cause a jolt, and though the final confrontation is about as scary as an episode of Star Wars Rebels, it is still entertaining, with some of the dead from previous Annabelle films making an appearance during the narrative. (This is the part where I shift into talking about the negatives) For the most part however, the 'scares' are either predictable or just plain 'meh!', some of which have been recycled from previous entries (the doll that randomly moves around; the TV remote that goes missing; the girl who gets dragged out of bed...). Furthermore, the star of the show, Annabelle, has her screen time occasionally stolen by an assortment of other malevolent spirits that she conjures. The reason this spin-off was created is because of Annabelle's popularity; to have her share the stage with other ghouls, most of whom have no background, is an insult to her character. Not only this, the sense of sustained threat that should accompany a horror film like this is entirely absent, as I was never fully convinced of the 'danger' the characters were in.

Annabelle Comes Home clocks in at almost two hours, and unlike The Conjuring 2, which was longer, and well-paced, a lot of the time, this installment feels padded out, as sometimes it is, well...boring, with characters sitting around, talking. This does go into cringe-inducing territory like 'you have to woo her, man!'. Michael Cimino's character 'Bob' is another example of this, as the boy next door with a crush on Mary-Ellen, appearing to be comic-relief, and tonally changing the film even more.

Additionally, though Judy appears courageous, having a unique understanding of spirits, the other characters, despite seeing the warning signs and the ghosts wandering around, make some of the dumbest decisions known to man. One moment, Mary-Ellen is staring at a ghost as it stares back at her - I mean, what is she waiting for; run Forest, run! Speaking of, her character only has an asthma attack when the plot calls for it. If her asthma was as systemic as the script would want you to believe, initially indicating that any form of anxiety may cause a reaction, she would require her inhaler more frequently.

The film includes some good practical and computer-generated effects, though these don't add much to the horror elements, considering the contrived nature of the plot. I had just come off Annabelle Creation the night earlier, which had generated a far deeper sense of dread, with genuinely good scares, making Annabelle more menacing. Annabelle Comes Home looks to have learned nothing from its predecessor, with Annabelle needing to be treated less like Chucky and more like the hellish, manipulative monster that she is supposed to be.",4
"I was disappointed on seeing the movie Dunkirk, which was given a 4/5 rating. 1- Too much of the movie is made of very realistic computer generated motion pictures. It appeared to me that all of the airplane dogfight scenes were completely computer generated. There simply is too much computer generated graphics. 2- You need to know the history of this event to be able to make sense of the movie. Very little background info is given. If you do not notice the different types of helmets worn by the soldiers, you will not understand the movie. There is no background history given. 3- The soundtrack is a bit repetitive and when it becomes noticeable, it means that it hast lost its effectiveness. 4- During normal speaking volume, the background music is far too loud and makes it impossible to understand what is being spoken. 5- Last but not least, the audience cannot identify with any person in the story, and thus the movie has very little emotional impact on the audience. It leaves one cold and un-involved and hardly interested in the outcome.

Do not expect a story that pulls you in and grips you with sympathy for any one or more characters. There are just too many scenes of dying soldiers whom the audience has not come to know in any meaningful way. The actors all look very similar, and it is hard to distinguish which one has just died and which one is still living. This movie is a wannabe documentary with little historical context and no emotional appeal.",5
"I love this show and started to binge it. The characters are different and unique, the plot is interesting and it's also fun for both children and adults and the best animated character that ever existed General Iroh",10
"Good suspense, but not scary at all. Actually very predictable. Not very original, either. I saw this movie back in 2008 when it was called The Happening.",5
"Watched first two episodes and have no desire to see more. Most unfunny show I've seen. Show is absolutely desperate for laughs; the show struggles but just tries too hard. Over-the-top characterizations that are just cringe to watch the actors trying to pull off. The show makes the statement that if you're not smart enough to get out of jury duty then you're probably one of these losers. Writing is terrible and cliche - you have to have these extreme characters so that they eventually stumble onto something resembling a plot twist. The main character strikes me as ""Jack"" from ""Lost"" - the only ""normal"" running around in a sea of people that are one bad day away from an asylum or prison. Terrible show. Would rather watch politics or a dental documentary for more laughs than what this provides.",1
"It's quite similar to Kripke's previous TV Series with all made-up messes or situations being more complicated so it will make a long series. The plots and rhythms are very identic also. Ackles' performance is the only best thing in here, while Butcher and Eternal Homelander were super-awful, and they want to keep them alive to make a long series. Other characters, will be gone one by one slowly within the series. The stories weren't growing well, and predictable as I said above which were made it up to be complicated ones. Can't say anything else about it. I won't waste my time on the next series.",1
"2 Hours and 51 minutes. Fact as Clouseau used to say. Cars spectacularly blowing up. Fact. (They Pyro guys are better now). Aging actors. Fact. No spoilers necessary because you have seen this movie before when it was called GOODFELLAS and a better film it was back then. CASINO bothered me by having too much naration. The camera is amazingly static. Shots extend way way too long and if I saw that high shot of the street corner again and again ... Scorsese went to sleep seemingly. Please save your life and see STAR WA.... no, that is a mess too. You will have a more exciting time in the back yard watching a squirrel hunting for food.",4
"Nawasidiki and saif are amazing waiting for the 2nd part, something like this in hindi has never been seeing hope we get more entertainment like this",8
"I've been looking forward to watching season 4 for sometime and when it was time to sit and watch it I was left wondering what had happened. The first episode showed promise and then it became uninteresting.

I found Eleven to be super dull and predictable. She simply stands about looking pouty with blood dripping from her nose for most of her scenes. Boring.

The character development between Joyce and Murray was the most entertaining of the whole series. Somehow it's lost its shine and I wonder where it will go in season 5. Perhaps the end of Hawkings altogether and be done with it.

I couldn't get into it at all and I was glad when it was over.",4
"The anime is insanely good honestly, it's intense and drags you instantly with the drama ,it's also fun to watch, i mean the calculations and analyzations of other people's actions by the main character is insane and on op of that the brutality adds more spice. Kinda reminded me of ""Death note"", the main character has that ""Light Yagami"" vibe and i absolutely love it!

All in all, it was jaw-dropping 1000/10.",10
"I think Disney is loosing it with Wandavision. The show tries to be funny and serious and the result is something without one thing nor the other. I really liked Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage and was hoping Disney+ could re-take them. After watching Wandavision I'm disappointed and understood that is never going to happen. Disney+ is more children oriented. Is a little bit sad watch what's they are doing with the MCU in Wandavision. I really hope next series will be better.",1
"I am a big movie fan and watch a wider variety of movies. I sit through nearly every movie I begin watching because in most cases there is a twist or a catch at the end that explains weaknesses of the movie in the beginning.

But Barbie movie is one of the few I turned off after nearly one hour into it.

This movie is just nonsense. A waste of time better spent with cleaning the house or doing other loved or unloved things.

I don't understand why this movie is hyped so much. It is nothing more than a GI Joe for girls, which is sadly at least not as less entertaining as GI Joe.

I guess even for Barbie Fans this might be hard to watch.",3

The only good thing about this show is Debbie the chicken...This caliber of sci-do should be fun but the drama and bad story writing made it cringe... My 9 year old roasted the entire 3rd season without missing a beat...,2
"After watching this movie, I was appalled at the state of comedy in movies nowadays. Don't get me wrong thinking that I have no sense of humor because I do. I find most movies funny at the correct parts. But to say that the movie Superbad is one of the funniest movies ever made is a sin. The writing in the movie is poor because of the way they treat one another is completely unrealistic. I feel as if the writer of the movie decided to throw in profanity at certain points in an effort to make audiences laugh. The overall movie lacks a plot and is the little plot that there is gets old after about 30 minutes into the movie. There were points in the movie where I almost left the theater but I didn't because I didn't want to waste my money.",1
"This is a difficult movie to review.

On one hand, actors like Robert Deniro, Joe Pesci and Al Pacino are legends and it was wonderful to see them again, this time together in a film.

On the other hand the movie has no real plot and we are left to wonder and guess as to what exactly is going on?

The movie is very long, I had to watch it over two days (2 hours the first day, 1.5 hours the next day).

So to summarize it: when you finish the movie, it is hard to give a detailed explanation regarding what exactly the movie was about.

. . . and that is the fundamental flaw in the film.

Not to mention that Frank Sheeran, in real life, did not kill Jimmy Hoffa.",5
Not much to write about. The writing has no depth no substance. At least if it was funny.,4
"I find this show very unusual ,weird,odd etc. My question is where does this fit into the timeline situation of things . Because did'nt the Vision get destroyed in Avengers Endgame ?",3
"Pretty simple. Anyone trying hard to explain why this movie would be any less than 8 stars is trying too hard to be a fake internet movie critic. Thoughtful, quirky, funny, fresh.

Far from being heavy-handed, the movie successfully entertains while still being obvious in its message.

It's amazing that actors who are portraying plastic versions of stereotypes are able to create individualized characters. The characters in the real world are surprisingly more nuanced and realistic than would be expected, especially when juxtaposed against the Barbie World characters. Just enough realism - and over-the-top comedy - in this film to balance the obvious messaging.

Watch it, enjoy it, accept that it's a spectacular film.",10
"We went to watch the late night show of Guru on Sunday evening and I must admit, in recent times, it was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. There was not one moment which i regretted while watching this wonderful movie with the best in all departments. Full marks to Mani Ratnam and the whole cast. It is difficult to come out of a movie happy, yet charmed and to feel so proud of astute vision (also,to be an Indian if you are overseas!) Before I start raving about Abhishek and Aishwarya..have a couple of important things to do. Even the smallest roles (Abhishek's father, his mother,Aishwarya's father, her mother,the committee head and so many others) were done sincerely by actors who are very good at what they do but are unsung heroes in Indian Cinema..I mean i do see them in good, intense roles but because there is no glamor attached, I cannot recall their names.

A friend of mine suggested that I should give a balanced review by adding some bads of the movie too....huh!!was initially tough for me, since I was so overwhelmed;On serious thoughts, I thought let me do the worst job and then start the raves and praises!!!!!but come to think of it....here are some of my objections....there were too many songs;initially back-to-back (with my husband groaning..""oh no, not another song!!!!"");I kept asking what happened to Jhignis (Aishwarya's brother) because he just disappeared;when Aishwarya and Abhishek broke up, the scene shook me, but I did not understand why it broke into my most favourite song...""Aye Hairathe""!!!; And last but not the least, Mithun da deserved more screen time, given his powerful performance!!

Nonetheless, this media called cinema has matchless power to shape and influence minds. The analogy drawn with Dhirubhai Ambani was just too good! I mean I know about his milestone work in industry, trade and commerce, but never would have wanted to read a biography on him. Now I am really curious and am inclined to dig the net.Let me clarify, not to come out and mock on how he made it big by breaking/making/kicking/obeying rules. But to know more about VISIONARY and ENTREPRENEURIAL thinking!! One of the most touching statements to prove this point were made by Abhishek Bachan (Gurubhai)when he justified his stand. He said to the tune of ""I saluted when asked to salute;I kicked when asked to kick, now why ask why did you kick so much and salute so much??"") reflected how bureaucracy, heavy entry barriers and closed doors policy in India stiffled business growth in that era. A typical 'rags to riches' story (I am stealing my husband's expression:D) but done so well with 'into the character' acting by everybody. How Abhishek managed to get all the Gujju expression (just part of his character) to portray his larger than life vision in life speaks volumes about his homework for this film. Being born and brought up in that region myself(Western India), I am totally familiar with local talk-walk!! He looked so ordinary, yet he did such extra-ordinary things!! In fact, in this context, the actor-character line looked so bleak. I did not know whom to reckon with more, with Abhishek for being Abhishek Bachan the son of Amitabh Bachan or with the so obvious Dhirubhai reference!! Aiswarya Rai was so down-to-earth, identifiable in this movie. I really liked her work and also appreciated how she chose to dance a little awkwardly in 'Barso Re Megha Megha' (despite the fact that she is a perfect dancer) just to portray that rusty, village belly gal!! I love to listen and listen to some of the songs, especially 'Aye Hairathe' which is so soulful, so meaningful, so heart rending!! Mithun Chakravarty played Nanaji so effortlessly; Have to agree that everybody was so right in their own shoes in this movie whether it was to promote the virtue of honesty, simplicity, clear vision or simple regard and respect for spouses, elders etc; that it was difficult to point out who was right and who was wrong. Mithun did not come out as a villain neither did Madhavan. Even I knew that Guru had paved his path with dirt smeared here and there, he did not seem to wrong at all.

It was a true work which is really inspiring and totally keeps you thinking!! Wonder if Abhishek Bachan will get the National Award of not....hope he does...:) From my side, everybody on the crew deserves one!!",10

First off it's absurd to think a girl kills herself but then is able to blackmail people into listening to these tapes about there self because if they don't someone will turn them over to the police. Second they give the students way to much power which would never happen in real life. Like the ""student body president"" and all the crap she does. I guess teenagers would like this maybe but man was this a waste of my time. Also in the later seasons there is a new character named ani and she is very annoying they did not need to add her at all.",3

"It seems like a bad sitcom, like b level. I know they can actor better but the acting is terrible does it get any better if I painful watch it?",2
"What can I say? Jon Favreau can never disappoint. Whether he's funny as an actor or artistic as a director. He's a master of his craft and definitely found his niche. He's an amazing director, with an uncanny ability to cameo in his own movies as a great comic relief.

Robert Downey Jr., is an actor I've been watching for years. From being sweet and hilarious in Heart and Souls, to sarcastic and witty with an edge of drama in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang to perfecting his ability in playing Tony Stark. Robert is versatile and can go beyond some of the other great actors.

Gwyneth Paltrow is the perfect female to play Pepper Potts, as seen in the first film. She's funny, she's brainy, and she's sexy. She's got a beautiful face to look at and a sweet voice to hear. Her character, Pepper, takes a backseat for screen time to make room for others, but she still plays a prominent role in Iron Man's future.

Samuel L. Jackson, gets a small cameo and Scarlett Johansson joins the cast as a really sexy, seductive, ass-kicking seductress who bounds to keep both Tony Stark and audiences on their toes. Don Cheadle comes along as well to play sidekick and Mickey Rourke is chilling and terrifying as villain Ivan Vanko.

There's mind blowing special effects, triple the intense action sequences and give just the perfect amount of comic relief and you've got a sequel that does ten times better than the original. It's not surprising. Iron Man, wasn't bad by any means, but it just feels inferior to this. I can't imagine how it will seem when the third chapter is unveiled.

Strap yourself in for a roller coaster ride of a lifetime. It's fun, it's dark, it's full of surprise and it's action packed. It's a great film for everyone. Grab grandma, grab your friends and let's go see Iron Man 2!",9
Great tv series! It's a little slow in the few first episodes but it really gets better.,6
"At this point, I remember so little about Stranger Things, Seasons 1 -3 (which I really, REALLY loved), I've completely lost interest in seeing the mythical ""Season 4"". IF it is ever actually released, no matter what, it can only disappoint. It's like the estranged father who repeatedly promises he'll show up for your birthday but he never, ever does. As far as I'm concerned, if the absent Season 4 ever does show up, I will have moved on with no forwarding address.",1
"for me this film dragged. i expected to find something that would grab my attention when in fact it's a bit of a one trick pony of a film. yeah the structure is twisted and spinny but it's also repetitive - that the brain behind this little ditty belongs to a jaded cynical know-it-all is a point well and truly laboured (see also: 'adaptation').

on the other hand the charmless approach to human relations does not stifle michel gondry's take on intimacy (the shot under the sheets), nor did it entirely draw my attention away from the talents of jim carrey and kate winslet.

on one side of this film is 'i heart huckabees', on the other 'anatomy of hell' and i like both infinitely better than this insincere exercise in 'original' screenplay writing.",5
"The dialog seems to be written by someone that has never read ANYTHING. Insipid and trite comes to mind.

The movie is great plz watch it in theatres. It leaves you crying the whole second half. Acting is done great by all actors and the dog as well. It is the best dog flim ever.,10
"Excellent music! Two best songs about Philadelphia.

Nice actors. Tom Hanks plays good, as almost always.

But story... is not so good.

Hank's hero is young lawyer making career in one leading legal firms of Philadelphia.

However in one not fine for him days he was dismissed.

Because he is gay and the carrier of aids.

A classical Hollywood judicial drama with very ""actual"" contents: gays, aids...

Movie for Americans, not for humans!",5
"Was a half-hearted Moon Knight fan. Looking forward to following this series, but just a few things that bug me, especially for a newbie to this character.

First, why label it ""Dissociative identity disorder (DID)?"" Just call it it multiple personalities like everyone else. DC describes it as such in Doom Patrol. This is a TV show, not a course in psychology....so the guy has a couple of personalities. OK

Another bugger for the newbie. I read that Moon Knight was Marvel's equivalency to DC's Batman....and wish it was just as straightforward: Batman is a an iconic genius concept: kid watches parents' murder, creates the vigilante Batman to compensate for the psychological issues springing from this trauma. But nooooooo, Moon Knight's creators went out of their way to create a superhero that is actually the perfect subject for the the current Netflix-type companies that need to sell a half a dozen episodes to stream to entertain the masses, but OK with me.... I am have time...healing a wrenched knee. , good spring /summer fun show.",4
"Started with an interesting premise of multiple universes but dragged on interminably with repetitive fight scenes triggered by a fall into ( or from) another universe. By the time it finished it was hard to tell what was the point of the movie, apparently a mother - daughter relationship.",2
"The first 'Spiderman' film was great. This second one though is a classic case of a sequel that's trying to do too much, and ultimately does not much at all.

The second half, I grant you, is action packed and good fun. But oh dear it takes a long time to get there. Lots of in jokes and pointless scenes.

I can't fault the actors though, Maguire and in particular Dunst are much improved from last time around, settling into their uneasy 'will they, won't they?' romance.

For action sequences, it's probably the best of the three, but that opening hour spoils my interest somewhat.",4
"It's like a copy of all cliches present in other fantasy series. Nothing new, but staged poorer. Not sure why its so highly rated",5
"Well, I liked the show, I really liked how they portrayed older Wednesday addams and her relationship with her brother. I also liked how they kept ""hand"" and that Wednesday almost didn't blink throughout the whole show. But the downside was that they overdid it with the supernatural. The whole point of the Addams family is that they're unique in their oddness yet in the show half of the population is supernatural. It also doesn't make sense for Wednesday to be in a supernatural school since both her and her parents are completely human, they are obscure and dark but not supernatural. Hand is supernatural and so is their butler the Frankenstein monster (in the original show) but apart from that they are human.",7
"I enjoyed the overall arc, the characters, and acting. However you can figure out the mystery by mid season but the writer will continue to insult you with forced misdirection. Also the drama was over the top and drags.

Zable deserved more attention, seems like his 'event' is minimized and becomes an after thought.

I dislike it when the ""bad guy"" explains everything at the end.",6
"A different version of the movie ""The Quiet Place"" -_- It was an interesting movie, albeit not the original idea.

It was fun to watch, but watching it once was enough, I don't want to watch it again.",6
"Starting things off with the plot, It was well-balanced and understandable enough when you consider the type of the movie. However, it lacks the dramatic side of the story and in some points throughout the movie, it starts to feel predictable, not to mention that sometimes the mission itself feels so much easy and not challenging rather than the opposite, as it should.

Acting wise, the movie gives some great roles with this category, especially when you consider Radcliffe's and Mark Leonard Winter's performances. However, Daniel Webber's one, it just feels pointless sometimes, not to mention that the movie in general didn't give much time for the actors to express themselves, especially Daniel Radcliffe who shows a lot of potential, but unfortunately get wasted.

Theme wise, the movie is also well-balanced and well-decorated, and hits on a powerful subject that everybody cares about. In addition to the fact that this picture is one of the best thriller movies made so far in the last 5 years or so.

The directing is decent, but as I mention, the time didn't give a chance for the director to express himself as well.

Last but not least, the movie is decent enough when consider the cinematography, the editing and of course the thrilling music used in some scenes that will be historical in the future, in addition to the scenes where music is not used, those are the perfect ones.

In general, the movie is not that unique, but definitely re-watchable due to the positive aspects I mentioned.",7
Shouting and yelling from beginning to the end of the movie. F word in every sentence. Shaking handheld camera shot. Very disturbing movie.,4
"By Scorsese himself when they were called Goodfellas and Casino. There was NO reason to make this other than to satisfy perhaps their own self-indulgent nostalgia, which I assume includes some fans, but if you really wanna watch this type of movie, go watch the far superior originals, especially Goodfellas.

De Niro was a bore. Way too passive. Too much details about things that didn't matter. In Godfather they balanced the little details such as how to cook the food with the story, never to extend such details. For example the daughter/father relationship appeared throughout without any really significant meaning. I think his daughter said one word, literally ONE WORD in the entire film. Was she a mute? It may have been more effective if they had focussed the film on that, rather than the conspiratorial aspect of the Hoffa killing, which was stretched out for like an hour of pointless meandering.

Let's be real. Casino was Goodfellas in Vegas. And Irishman was a personal vanity project for De Niro and Martin to work together again.

I had a feeling it was gonna be the same as Goodfellas. This is The Godfather III to Godfather I & II.

All the same stereotypical Italians we've seen in every mob movie around., where they play caricatures, rather than real life beings.

Also, a lot of the acting seemed to have been phoned in. Pesci was good. And like others said, it was boring. Holy mother, it took forever to get to any point.

Disregard all the rave reviews. That is just a sign of how many mediocre films are out and how people are starving for anything above bad.",3
"It would seem that one must overlook quite a bit.

First, the writing (which seems not to matter to anyone who reads at the 5th grade level, but doesn't do much for someone who reads at the college level): if you close your eyes, and ask ""what century is this and what world (Middle Earth? Lower Earth? Mars? Pluto?) is this""? The answer that comes back is ""Oh, it's 20the century Ireland, maybe. Or England (ignore the accents). Dialogue such as ""F*** off,"" (so VERY ""mythological Universe,"" right? Or ""You take no prisoners, I hear"" and ""you can trust me"" somehow doesn't transport me to any alternate Universe. It transports me to The Land of The Millenials: limited vocabulary, and even less acting. Entertaining enough, I suppose, if you discount writing as the most important part of any show (and plenty of people apparently do, since it has an 8.4 rating), but I'm listening to it even as I type this, and nothing they're saying (episode 2), makes me even want to stop typing and actually WATCH IT. Actually, it's more interesting as an audio tape: you ears can handle what has your eyes rolling if you watch it. Tedious. I've turned away from it twice, and I find I'm actually grinding my teeth (unconsciously) at this moment. People have noted that Cavil is the high point. I suppose. His dialogue is pretty limited, too. Well, I have to go, or else my dentist will once again chastise me for grinding my teeth constantly. I'd like to keep my mind. AND my teeth. So, I'll have to turn the sound off, or I'm bound to lose both.",3
"After the great Avengers ending, and even a well done Spiderman homecoming, this one is quite a step down from the others. Not to say it is a bad movie, as Marvel is largely incapable of making anything less than pretty good. But it is a very uninspired effort, with bland characters and a seemingly plothole ridden pointless story. Don't expect Jake Gyllenhaal to save the movie, as his character wasn't interesting either. Suffice to say this movie was one of the lesser quality flicks in the marvel cinematic universe and should be either a pass or a movie that will be forgotten in weeks, if not days.",4
"Being the first anime I actually watched (I know this is American but I suppose it still counts)I was a little uncertain whether this was going to be as good as the IMDb score suggested, little did I know that this would come to be my favourite animated series in a couple of weeks. After watching the first 2 episodes I still wasn't sure whether or not this series had potential, I guess the problem was I was too eager to watch cool bending fights unfold, since now that I re-watched the series this episodes serve as pretty good introduction.But, when I finished episode 3 I knew; from that point on,that this series had it in him.

The series's narrative has been worshiped by critics and viewers alike; myself included, it feels consistent, partialy because every season shares the same story but because every episode is entertaining and pretty great overall. The characters are very well written, displaying various dimensions of their personality and present realistic emotions/ feelings that can relate to any human being despite living in a different context

The animation style is gorgeous, making element bending look even cooler than what the concept sounds like (seriously, trust me on this one), slashes of water and bolts of fire dance harmoniously during fights, clashing vibrantly in a splash of coulours.

After I finished every last episode there is, I couldn't help but feel hollow and found it hard to go back to viewing regular animation with my younger brother after spending so much time watching quality animation.

I feel like I've bickered long enough about how amazing the series is so i'll just say this: to whoever feels a little skeptical about this series because it's ""fake anime"" or a kid's show; don't hold back, it delivers much more than what it seems, and in my eyes, this series is just as good a kid's show than a regular TV show.",10
"No matter how much ever high grossing Marvel or franchise based movies may come, if you ask an American his most loved movie, it will always be a 'Forest Gump' or a ""The Terminal'.

There is something about the feel good, emotional movies that leaves a deep imprint in all of us.

#777Charlie is one of them, it has a feel good as well as heavy hearted Hollywood vibe written all over it, the way it consistently manages to deliver both these emotions in tandem is remarkable.

Every lyrie of every song is timed perfectly Even a decade down the lane, when I am looking for answers on a hectie day, I Il watch this and I am sure it won't disappoint me, and will again leave a broad Smile in my face.

This movie will stay with time, One for the ages»",10
"I really enjoyed it. Great acting, would say the script is not the best. But overall would recommend it. Its better then the last 2 season of GOT if that helps",8
"I'd given it a 7 rating and then read that it is not based on a true story, as stated in the opening credits. So I bumped it down to 5. This sort of sham/scam was common in the eighties and nineties but it is unforgivable! A breach of the vital trust between moviemaker and movie watcher. It's an odd sort of movie combining gruesome brutality with quirky comedy. It's an original dramatic device. The bad guys are so bad that you need a little relief. And that's provided by the pert, perky (and pregnant) cop. There also are some very loose ends. What, for example, was the point of bringing in the Japanese ex-boyfriend? It didn't seem to have any link whatsoever to the plot. It also overflows with plugs and product placements. However despite these shortcomings, it is still a pretty good nailbiter.",5
"Where do I start with this? It's one of those rehashed and hyped to death horror movies dished out by Hollywood every year that make a ton of money despite so many plot holes that make your eyes roll in disgust. But I guess, the mainstream audience lap it up like they always do. This is probably my first review in here, but I am not going to be one of those people who create multiple accounts just so they can claim that this is their first review and then go on about how ""insert some movie"" is the worst movie ever. This movie has some good parts if you can overlook glaring plot issues that we have become accustomed to. Like, Sandra bullocks acting, excellent cinematography and the supermarket scene which I liked. I know it's been said so many times but Netflix should really focus more on quality over quantity because they have some good things going for them. Watch this If you like ""horrorless"" horror movies. Otherwise, skip it and save your time!",6
"Having not read the comic I can't compare to the original story however I feel this was nearly there just didn't quite hit the mark.

The soundtrack and visuals are fantastic. However I never really felt for the characters, the actors performances were generally quite wooden (excl Clause whom I thought was more of a rounded character). I am a fan of graphic novels in general and I could see elements of this that would be better suited to that form.

Ultimately the 10 part series felt as though the timing was not quite right and may have been better to stretch it out to give each character more of a backstory. Rumour has it one of th characters is shockingly useless.

I'm annoyed that this didn't quite hit the mark and seems to feel a bit rushed out in the end. I think Netflix needed a flagship comic book story to replace daredevil et al and that this was rushed out to prevent the loss of a fan base",6
"My wife liked this as it 'was an unapologetic fluff piece' it is however, 'not as good as Overboard'. I think I smiled once.",6
"Raimi's follow up to his 2002 blockbuster Spiderman, is nothing short of 'amazing'. If you don't already know the plot, you're probably living under a rock, and wouldn't be reading this anyway. If you haven't seen the original, do yourself a favor and get acquainted with this series, it's worth it.

Spiderman 2 does what very few sequels do, and that is build on the original and top it, with more story, more drama, more action, more suspense, more character, more emotion, and just more. We don't feel like we're a million miles away from the universe created in part one, yet it all feels new and fresh. I'm glad they did not do anything drastic to Spiderman's suit. There are subtle changes, but you really don't notice, yet on multiple viewings you will.

I give this film a 10 out of 10, large feat for a sequel.",10
"So this has had some mixed reviews and I can see why. Anyone who's watched the trailer and isn't caught a little off guard by the sight of a jovial Hitler... well surely those people don't exist anymore. Anyway it's clearly meant as offbeat satire, something that director Taika Waititi is known for and known to be fantastic at (What We Do in the Shadows). It is funny ""Get together kids, it's time to burn some books""... but really not nearly as funny as it needs to be to get away with this kind of humour. Mel Brooks' Hitler in The Producers was funny, an out an out piss-take, but here the comedy doesn't seem quite farcical enough. For every ""We have a job for you walking the clones"", there's people hanging in the town square and Jews hiding for their lives. It's a really odd balancing act. I'm not going to slate it, I think it tries really hard to poke fun, but it's just a really difficult subject to have fun with, especially when the story is told through the eyes of a member of the nazi youth clinging on wilfully to his indoctrination. It's an odd mix between the Diary of Anne a frank and Moonrise Kingdom, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it, laugh a little and find it interesting. Sam Rockwell is pretty great, Scarlett Johansson is good as the closest thing to an anchor and voice of reason against nazi propaganda, Rebel Wilson though is a bit annoying. There are some genuinely great lines ""There are no weak Jews, I'm descended from those who wrestle angels and kill giants, we were chosen by god, you were chosen by a pathetic little man who can't even grow a full moustache"", but I'm really not sure what to make of it and might need to watch it again. The scenes between the two young leads are intriguing and offer the most depth as the nazi gets an education he doesn't realise he needs. A visit from the Gestapo is a shocking leveller though amongst the frivolity and again makes the humour feel oddly misplaced. Some will love this and quite understandably so, others will feel uncomfortable, but regardless I think it's a must see film... probably more than once, if only just to see Hitler kicked through a window.",7
"I don't think I was interested even for a single scene in this movie. It definitely was relying too much on humor which got old very fast. I didn't care about any of the characters some of the plot is ridiculous. It's not terrible, it just wasn't entertaining for me personally.",3
"I was very hyped about this movie but it tourned out to be very disappointing.

The plot vas too predictable and they tryed to squeeze in too much characters. The villans were awful, too many of them and all without a chcaracter. Unlike in the previuous spiderman movies were we had proper villans, in this movie there is no actual villan but a bunch of so called villans without character. The acting was dreadful, no passion at all. The storyline was disconeccted, sometimes boring and slow and sometimes too much action was brought in when it was uneccesary.

This movie was made just for fanboys and not for quality like the previous movies about Spiderman!",2
In this show everyone drinks hot chocolate and wants to kill themselves,2
"This movie was a lot of fun. It managed to both be similar and different from Knives out depending on how you look at the two films. I'd say that I like the entire package of Knives Out a little bit more. Especially the ending. That said, there are some things about The Glass Onion which are more likable than Knives Out. In particular, the Glass Onion seems like a more imaginative and atypical who-done-it in the way the story is presented and organized than Knives Out. It is less linear and has more nuggets which made me want to immediately rewatch the movie after seeing it the first time.

Daniel Craig's character is only character in both films. But both films similarly explore a lot of red herrings and a lot of amusing, entitled, rich characters caught up in a nasty situation where many of them seem like reasonable suspects. In both films I was rooting for the more ordinary working class characters to win in the end. And there are satisfying conclusions in both of the films even if though I preferred the conclusion to the first movie. Overall though, I could probably watch another 3+ Knives out movies is they continue to decline at the slow speed between 1 and 2. And there's no guarantee that a 3rd movie wouldn't be better than the 2nd and/or 1st one. I hope they can continue to make more solid films like these.",8
"Cut out the last 30mins

Krull reference !!!!

Needs a better main actor",5
"After I heart that Christopher Nolan will direct this film, I feel that yeah batman will have new soul like the same thing happened when different directors make different and beautiful ALIENS. But all I see in this movie is marvelous scene, costume and device designs. In order to love this film, I have to think like small child who has ungrown ethics and morality understanding.

First part of the movie, tells the story step by step and try to improve the reason why Wayne choose this way. But steps are so fast, I thought that including Wayne, shadow group are all crazy. Is there any logical man to explain me why they fight.

It is better not to know the beginning, let the movie start from the second part and have fun. At least in the second half there is something exploding. I miss you Tim Burton. Your cartoon and Gothic style created a serious Batman film.

Voice of Batman sucks. But the acquitant actors make film bearable like Rutger Hauer, Michael Kane. But as I said before like all exaggerated heroic films, everybody is after a childish idealism including the good and bad. I want my bad man to scare me!!!!",3
Super amazing fantastic mind blowing. Both the venom movies are good but this one is best it has much fun and many good aspects that you can't miss go and watch.,10
Where were the plot? Honestly was so excited for this movie and then I watched it and said what is going on here,2
"The actors were amazing, superb, 9/10.

I am truly impressed and will continue to follow their work.

Now, the plot... Madness... Ok... So, what?

There was no getting further into something.

Don't get me wrong, it was not the actors, it was the writers.

It seems like the writers got stuck expressing what was advertised, the idea of madness on an island due to isolation, and didn't have the time to write the actual story line.

It's rather more like an incomplete introduction to something. Almost as if a pretentious writer decided to turn a 10 minute introductory scene into a one hour long and a bit more of nothingness.

You keep watching because at every step of the way, into this empty torture, somehow, you always have the hope that it will get somewhere.

In every random piece of story line, you slowly start to regain the confidence that something will finally happen, just to then, in a state of pure confusion as to how can something made by a human being be so massively dense of nothingness like a black hole, understand that it was in fact your mind the one that constructed a mirage through a non-existent possibility of a real plot, to get you through the excruciating boredom that was this more then one hour long paragraph.

Just bits of randomness, which, considering the duration of the film, just makes it a waste of time.

This is quite an artsy movie.

The best part of this movie were the actors and to finally turn off my computer.

However, writing this was a lot of fun, it got me through the post-traumatic pain of watching this, so instead of 4, I will give it a 5.

Not sure how this movie won so many hearts. It was terrible and two hours I can not replace. It basically has a focus on sexual release with two men stranded. How is that Oscar worthy. Very disappointed.,2
"This movie maybe deserve even better rating because it shows the hard history of a normal human being that is humiliated and turned into slave. 12 years that I felt like an eternity.

This movie reveal the most horror details of the slavery and the attitude of most of the slave owners (o, how miserable and shameful mankind can be!). Maybe there is sense in this movie and it shows the lowest of human fall to draw the heights that it must achieve.

But. I saw recently other movies about slavery, wrote about Good Morning, Vietnam, so I can not ask something the movie industry across the ocean. When you became so big to whip yourselves like this, to make fun of you and to show on what ground your culture is build? Can we expect in fifty years such movies about the actions in middle and south-east Asia? I think that it is impudence doing so. To make profit showing yourself disgusting. Isn't it square disgusting? Otherwise the movie is good, a little heavy, long and depressing. Just as the period of slavery.

"First off going in, I expected this to be trash, I really did, but after watching it for two episodes... It really wasn't, it gave us a better adaptation than many of us really deserve. It was beyond what I expected, so much beyond and while I haven't finished it so this review remains unfinished, the two episodes I watched were just so fun. Beyond expectations, and it was exactly what I needed from a video game adaptation. The one thing you shouldn't do with this is let YouTubers get to you. This is an amazing show, they don't get it, but generally speaking, they don't get a lot of things. So if all you are looking for is a good adaptation with the car combat intact but not necessarily the sole focus... This will give you all you need and more. You won't lose interest if you are truly into getting an adaptation that is more than the sum of its parts. YouTube be damned this whole show is incredible even if Sweet Tooth is a tad weird. Just go in looking for fun and guns and cars, you will get that in spades.",8
"Personally I felt it to be one of the finest movies made in India. It's beautiful and inspiring in so many ways!

Let's start with the acting first.

Zaira Wasim , take a bow! Back to back Dangal and Secret Superstar! If her debut performances are this good, we can expect a lot more throughout her career. I just hope that this world doesn't kill the spark within this angel. I am a fan! She was so real in her every emotion. And she could made her audience feel all those emotions too.

No one else could have played the role of the mother better than Meher vij . At the end of the movie, she made me wonder if she was the central character, not Zaira. One of the finest actings I've seen lately.

Most (if not all) of the characters played their part beautifully. Raj Arjun turned himself into the abusing husband convincingly. The kid brother Kabir was so cute and surprised audience in many scenes (favourite: splashed tea on father to distract him from watching news on TV about Secret Superstar and that wink!). And then there was Tirth (Chintan)! The kind of boy who go unnoticed in schools, but stand by the person they love always. He was so perfectly ordinary and genuine!

Interestingly Aamir Khan didn't play a character with great scope of acting. It was a very weird and superficial character, not leaving a mark on your mind. But that was the magic I loved most! He didn't make this movie about 'Superstar Aamir Khan'. So generously he stepped away to the sideline to give limelight to Zaira, Meher, Tirth & other characters. His getup was very strange, but very true to his character. Hope you pay attention to his eyes properly. The changes in those with different emotions were brilliant!

Now the story.

Adair Chandan did a great job! One beautiful simple story that shed light on 2 very important social topics - pursuing dreams & standing up against domestic violence. Instead of choosing a dramatic cinematic over the top story, he chose a very real one with characters from our every day lives.

We see youngsters like Insu everywhere with a spark, a talent, a dream. But their wings are clipped off by their parents, society, tradition, religion and what not! We see them writhing in pain to come out of all the restrictions (been there myself) and be who they are meant to be, do what makes them alive.

Unfortunately most give up. But there are fighters like Insu (proud to be one myself) who refuse to give up their dreams no matter how impossible or impractical it seems.

The way her mother and Chintan supported her in her passion, is heart warming! How Insu's perception about her mother changes over the movie, is beautifully written.

And beautiful was how Insu and Chintan chemistry was written. A very innocent pure love story. Few days back I wrote a post about 'Unconditional love' / 'Love without Expectations'. Chintan character was a living example of that. Unfortunately we lose the capacity to love like that when we grow up. Chintan's whole attention was on Insu, even when she didn't notice him or didn't give him any attention. He kept trying to cheer her up even when she misbehaved with him bursting out with anger that was not his doing. Worth watching was how he always came back to her, no matter what she said and how she behaved. The way he proposed, wow! Nothing dramatic or heroic, but was very real. Did she love him back? Won't tell you. Watch the movie. Pay attention to when she hand over her password to him. I loved that scene. I kept it frozen in my mind.

Kudos to this movie that handled the topic of domestic violence so beautifully! May this movie give courage to many women to come out of relationships and marriages where they are not respected.

I can go on and on about this movie, but let me stop here. Please watch this movie and experience it yourself. Take your family, kids and friends with you.",10
"So it took the violence, gore, nudity, sex... but this is no longer enough. It lacked haracters. The CGI was awful on the dragons. Really poor opener.",2
"If you do not mind wasting 3.5 hours of your life for story of remorseless killer go for it, I wish I knew better.",4
"Having come off the recent end of GoT I think most of us are looking to find something to scratch that itch. If you want something exactly the same, you will likely be disappointed because the underlying formula is different. GoT was a first and foremost a character driven show with an overarching plot to set the background with minor fantasy elements that only develop later in the seasons. The witcher on the other hand is primarily a story driven show with fantasy elements being the bigger drivers of the story.

With that being said lets talk about what makes the show great and its shortcomings. The show has a wealth of material to draw on and this is translated well on screen with a variety of unique locations, characters and lore that for the most part is done very well. The overall story while initially hard to follow, however it does tie together in a satisfying manner and is compelling enough that it will leave you hungry for more after you breeze through the 8 episodes, good thing the show is renewed of a second season. The casting ranges to excellent to serviceable and overall I feel like the biggest struggle of the show to match the quality we have come to expect after GoT which is why I cannot justify a higher score despite how much I enjoyed the show. The main cast did an excellent job in particular the roles of Ciri and Gerald while Yennefers performance while excellent at some parts, failed to really convey the characters development throughout the season; with that said I do think Anya showed great potential and I hope she will improve with experience gained from the role in future seasons. The supporting cast is more of a mixed bag. We had some outstanding performance from Jodhi May as Queen Calanthe, Emma Appleton as Renfri and Joey Batey as Jaskier while others simply fell flat like Mimi Ndiweni as Fringilla. The swordplay is top notch with the majority of swings carrying weight while flowing into each other in a satisfying manner. The CGI is serviceable, although leaves something to be desired and lets pretend the whole talking dragon scene did not occur.

Overall its very good show that has exceeded my expectations and has showed that it is capable of delivering very high quality. If they can improve on the dialog and brush off some of the rough edges the show can be truly excellent, for now it deserves an 8.5/10.",9
"I just had to check out this all-star cast without knowing much about the movie. I'm glad I did because it's a joy to watch the friendship development between Christian Bale, John David Washington, and Margot Robbie. The story is factual and very entertaining to follow. Christian Bale steals the show with his in-law problems and fiancee, played by Andrea Riseborough, who is devoid of any real empathy towards his character, but only to focus on his war wounds with venomous admiration. John David Washington was brilliant as well and has a lovely chemistry with both Margot Robbie and Christian Bale.

Such a charming and well-made movie. I've watched it four times and I love it more every time ...

"I really enjoyed the first couple seasons of this show, very well done. I am extremely disappointed with their choice to not bring Cavill back and will most likely not continue watching, but it's a great series up to season three. I don't want to reveal any spoilers so I'm not quite sure what else to say. Definitely check it out. The first season is pretty classic, the characters are phenomenal and the storyline is kick-ass. I thought everything in the series was great and stayed true to the origin of The Witcher. Henry Cavill really stands out and makes the role of Geralt just outstanding. Not really even my genre of preference but I gotta say this one really won me over. Until now.",7
"It's refreshing to watch a show without sexual content, vulgar language, and leftist propaganda. This is good story telling with elemental antagonism while holding on to family bonds. Looking forward to season 3!",9
"This is the first time I write a review on any cinematographic work, therefore I am not expecting anyone to trust my words. However, I felt the need to express my thoughts about this masterpiece, as I perceive it.

After watching Hannibal for the second time after four years, I can only say that it still impressed me and took me be surprise.

The way I would define the acting quality present here is in its purest form as I'd sometimes forget that I was looking at people interpreting a script. A personal note however is on Hugh's performance that did not always fooled me into forgeting this is a series. He seemed a bit too theatrical in the first episodes (maybe that's just me); I did enjoy his part from second season on when his character got darker.

Mads was truely impressive and I loved every scene he was in. Hannibal's character felt like a glove onto Mikelsen, as I could never suspect him of trying too hard. His presence, confidence, expressiveness portrayed a realistic image of Hannibal such that I could almost forget he was fictional. With all the burtality Hannibal was capable of, I still loved him and I think that was in part due to Mads acting skills (and I feel like mentioning that he reminded me of Kevin Spacey's interpretation of Francis Underwood, which was similar in excellence).

The secondary actors that are quite a few to enumerate were a great fit and their acting really convinced me. For a short series, the writers did a good job in offering a high level of detail on the other characters back story that tied really well with the main plot and main characters. All the interactions between characters had meaning and the writers did not waste any dialogue.

Colour wise, visually and in terms of sound...just delicious and sublime. So much to say about all the culinary moments, that were different almost in each scene, but also the colourful crime scenes that felt like art...and all accompanied by great music selection. I was in bliss.

To conclude, I do not wish to convince anyone to watch Hannibal, but this review was more of a display of my appreciation towards this series. ""Thank you for your kind attention.""",9
"Hi Hello This is my first time reviewing a title since I got my account here in IMDb, so I'm not so sure about how to do this. However, I must say how amazed I am by this whole series, I didn't read the comic book(s) but each episode made me want to watch more and now that I've finished it I just can't wait for the second season. I loved the characters and how they portray them, you learn about each one of them as the episodes go by and everyone has their own messed up and interesting past. ALSO, I really liked the weird reality the series is placed in, they don't have cellphones but they travel to the moon and they have powers and well, to finish off, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and I also hope you don't judge it based on the first episodes.

Okay, bye.",9
"I'm not really sure if a 2 is too much. It is a totally waste of time, I dont understand what kind of movies is netflix making",2
"The Dropout is a pretty straightforward drama, nothing special really, but Amanda Seyfried is just magnificent and lifts it to the next level with an intricate portrait of a very driven woman with a light psychotic and aggressive ingredient in her personality.",8
"Complete nonsense in full movie, unnecessary jokes, again intentionally targeting hindu God under cover of freedom of expression.... Lousy story and direction.",1
"Cavil does what he can and his efforts carry more then it should to keep this show going. Uninspired direction, sets pieces that look like sound stages and bloated dialogue that explains little after too much as been spoken make episodes seem much longer then they should. Many lines delivered here feel over rehearsed and stagey, story development is often lacking. Even the Witcher's grand entrance felt robotic and stale. Perhaps whats missing here is a since of atmosphere or place, development or mood. Editing or Directing, its hard to say, but something is definitely keeping this series from being binge worthy",3
"Attack on Titan has a lot of things going for it. It's based on an incredible, award winning manga. It's got a killer animation studio producing it with a bold visual style. It's got a gritty soundtrack.

But it does not understand what makes a story compelling or a series enjoyable. Every installment ends on a cliffhanger, typically with the characters more beaten down and miserable than they started. This creates a gloomy monotony that drags you from episode to episode.

The show is dark and violent, but if the story was paced differently there would be some tonal variety. Additionally, it would allow them to invest the audience in the characters before mortally wounding them. The way the show is structured, it whisks you through characters building a relationship with each other and cuts right to the fighting. It never earns its action scenes or emotional plot points.

The only reasons to care about a character are a) you like the character design, b) you like the trope assigned to that character, or c) you are heavily invested enough in the main character to care how he feels about this new person. Considering that the main character is your typical shounen action hero, that last one is a tough sell.

The premise has legs and the animation has the chops, but the writing is toothless, thoughtless, and monotonous.",2
"Somehow overrated movie in all honesty. The only praise to Bradley as he did convince me and was authentic. Must Admit so far, only Björk did a good job in a singing movie ( rather than musical) when played Dancer in the dark. Sad to say, far from that performance",3
"To keep it short and sweet, the fact of the matter is that this doesn't really hold it's own as a movie. It's a Harry Potter Fan's movie more than a Harry Potter movie, this would never survive if it didn't clutch to the remains of the franchise as fan service payoff. I sat down and really gave it some thought and you could seriously cut this entire film down to about 53 minutes there's that much useless filler in it. It's painfully mediocre but if you want a visual spectacle, don't want to think about something and want to watch something new related to something else you already LOVE then I'm sure you'll love this movie.",4
"Just when you thought the Marvel films couldn't get any bigger and better, you'd be wrong. This film tops every other Marvel film in every way.

The story is great, interesting, and keeps grabbing your attention. Everyone plays their characters very well. Black Panthers is a great new welcome. And the fight scene? Some of the best I have seen in quite a while. Especially the airport!

I won't give anything away here. But, do yourself a favor and see this incredible new installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I can guarantee it you will not be let down.",10
"Overall, Loki was very well-done and beautifully executed. The only flaw is the character development was too rushed-it deserved another 30-45 minutes of content to have had much better pacing.",8
When it was called Splash and starred Tom Hanks and Darryl Hannah. Total rip off.,2
"Sorry, I don't get it. It's slow, rambling, poorly acted and uninteresting. I like Henry Cavill and I like this type of story, but I made it through 2 episodes and that's all I can stand. Enjoy without me.",5
"there are a lot of reasons why I didn't like Inception. to begin with the fact I was disappointed in the story, I find this the worst movie since Shutter Island. but that's no coincidence! what's the link between Inception and Shutter Island? Leonardo DiCaprio! wait... does this mean Dicaprio only acts in bad movies? no, because Leonardo DiCaprio can act, even though he always does the same thing and looks the same way he did in the last picture you've seen with him. it only means DiCaprio chooses to work on promising films that end up as no good. and why is Inception a bad picture? now here's the point! it's a stupid picture, with no mystery in it at all! am I joking?off course I'm not! the so called twists in the end are easy to come up with, so that when the clues are shown during the show, you can easily guess what they will turn out to be. what we really should be asking ourselves is this: if I had the choice between a James Bond movie and Inception, which one of the two would you prefer to see? answer: the James Bond movie. however, this is not the case with other movies directed by Christopher Nolan! Bond versus The Prestige? Bond loses. the same with The Dark Knight or Memento. and here's why: Inception is deception, because it's no good movie. I rest my case. I hate Inception. you like it? okay, tell me why.",6
This show is great and it has the potential to become the greatest imo it should focus the scenes more on characters development rather than the cgi fight scenes with monsters also they should make more episodes season 1 felt a bit rushed and huge timeline gaps between each episode was confusing,7
"Almost perfect, the white-russian women scientist wasn't necessary. She was actually quite annoying and even more frustrating: She never existed. So Legasov was a hero by his own and didn't had to be stimulated by someone else. Bad writing. But nevertheless impressive stuff",9
"I don't know about people making a big deal about this movie, I felt like I lost nearly two hrs of my life. I love sandra Bullock and all but this seem and feels like ""The happening"" Yes you know what film I'm talking about. And the hole bird thing! They got that from the film ""silent hill"" Anyways .

Yup.",1
"I didn't really follow all of it if I'm being honest but I really enjoyed Oscar Isaac's performance, as I always do. I have read some reviews bashing his British accent but I'm English and I thought it was good- contributed to a lot to the humour of the show. Ethan Hawke is also good in an understated evil kind of way. I quite like the fact that it doesn't have anything to do with the previous MCU films/shows, I think it started going a bit downhill after Endgame to be honest, and it's nice to have a female lead who doesn't do your head in like in TFATWS or Loki. Just my opinion!",8
I'm it going to say much other than I hope they find a way to do many more seasons.,9
To many fillers its like they are trying milk the franchise . Season 3 content should have shown with a decent paced 4 episodes instead they streched it to 8 episodes with unnecessary fillers which barely add anything to the story. Amazon and sony should put more budget to this franchise because they need to step up the fight scenes. But I love the cast they did an amazing job as always❤.,2
I do not understand what everyone enjoys about this show!? It's a rip off of Twilight and a bad one.,1
"What I liked about this show as that it didn't follow the stereo typical storyline, so in that respect it was good. Too many things these days are just so predictable.

That said, the storyline was.....not sure how to put this without spoiling it.... a little odd for me.

But I watched it and in quick succession so I can't deny that I enjoyed it.",7
"Weak writing, assumed outcomes and judys lisp shines through each episode",7
"It's quite a good movie but not upto the mark when you watched always, beauty inside,mood of that day type of movie love is not designed to same fate of both boy with same girl that you loved before or first time this movie has fictional thought about the love love is not destined with same girl.",7
"It was already a rough watch, and then the music fight happened. At that point I could no longer justify my continued viewing of this movie. The story felt rushed and the villain wasn't as big of a shock that it should've been.",3
"It has a dark atmosphere. It progresses in an exciting and intriguing way. I think it is among the best productions Marvel has made. The part that impressed me the most was that the action and fight scenes were masterfully prepared and the visuals looked amazing. Instead of fancy effects, there are realistic melee combats. The acting can be said to be quite effective and this makes watching the series enjoyable. It's a shame that such a good production had a relatively short season. I really liked the first season. The development of the characters and their adaptation to their roles are impressive.",7
I found myself fast forwarding through much of season 2 so far. Up to Episode 4 and mostly just talking and drama.,3
"Harry Potter personally has been an enjoyable series of films to date, however it lacked the epic scale and plot that up to the fifth film The Order of The Phoenix finally corrected. The fifth and sixth films of the series finally hit gold with the epic scale that brought back memories of The Lord of The Rings or the Star Wars prequel films. In part one of the final film, Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione face off against the dark lord himself in a race to turn back the tide he has brought with him consuming the land.

In this finale, the scale of things has been lifted and no longer do we have a child like world that the first few films incorporated. From the start of this film, you know it has come a long way and matured into something more deeper and epic. No longer do our characters have a safety net to save them, at the final moment of the film and nor is there a quick fix present for them. Instead we have soul searching, character development and confessions being made that set the groundwork for part two.

Harry, Hermione and Ron have matured and grown into the characters we waited for them to become. Battle hardened, scarred warriors that have their flaws, but also their strengths that they will need to use against their enemies. This is also a film that will hit fans of the franchise hard, with many characters falling at the hands of the dark lord and will surely be missed.

The budget has also been raised for these two final instalments, and its obviously with the scale of locations, effects and plot-driven events. I feel that The Deathly Hallows has reached the epic level of Lord of The Rings, and even Star Wars. I think that the studio and director finally caught onto the success of The Half-Blood Prince with its dark theme and story, following on with the dark lord now taking over every foundation of the Wizarding world, our heroes are desperate, and at times turn on one another out of fear and desperation.

You feel these characters have grown and can now survive on their own, as they have to and have no one there to help them. This is a great start to the finale, and I cannot wait for the final part and hope the dark theme and epic scale continue.",9

"Only a handful of Bollywood movies attempt to break their silly boy-meets-girl conventions in favor of more high-brow fare. But even fewer movies stay within the confines of this oft-repeated formula, and manage to get the formula right. Swades is one such film. The much-anticipated follow-up to Ashutosh Gowariker's award-sweeping success Lagaan, Swades is a more low-key, rustic affair. Starring the ubiquitous Shah Rukh Khan in what is arguably his most nuanced performance to date, Swades tells the simple story of a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) who embarks on a journey to India's heartland with the sole purpose of bringing back his effervescent nanny to the US. What starts out as a simple mission turns into an eye-opening exploration of the meaning of being an Indian. What separates Swades from other passionately patriotic films (i.e. Rang de Basanti) is its ability to avoid grandiose political statements. Instead, the film's charms are simple... the plight of a small village without basic electricity, a young boy selling water for pennies, a villager with two daughters and no reason to educate them. And who can forget SRK's impassioned speech at the town hall gathering, where he decries India's blind affection for its divisive culture? At the end of the film, you're left with an exhilarating feeling of hope - a hope that comes from making deceptively simple decisions. And the message is clear for every single Indian who once called the subcontinent his home. Go light your bulb!",10
"Coming out of retirement to review this hugely disappointing movie. Philadelphia is the equivalent of Schindler's List if it were directed by Michael Bay. In other words, it missed the damn point. As the story of a talented lawyer, wrongfully terminated because he has AIDS, it would seem extremely rich with thematic material. Unfortunately, the director focuses so much on the wrong aspects, specifically Denzel Washington's boring character arc and quasi path to enlightenment. The best directors know that with heavy drama you either get out of the way (like Clint Eastwood) or you elevate the drama through artistry (like Alfonso Cuaron). Unfortunately, Demme simply isn't talented enough to elevate the material and obviously cannot direct actors because every..single..character feels so hollow, so stiff, so one dimensional. Good guys are good (and love opera) bad guys are bad (and love money) and that's basically the only two buckets that exist in this alternate universe. The negative stereotypes of LGBTQ society run deep and become self limiting, forcing Hanks and Banderes (the best actor in the movie by far) into boxes they can't stretch out of. Even the court room drama is so reductionist that it's insulting to the audience. I guess Demme was riding high off of Silence of the Lambs and was given a free pass on this one. So much potential wasted by a director who chose narrow zeitgeist over timelessness.",3
"I'm a little late to the party when it came to watching Daredevil on Netflix; however, the fact that I finished the show in three days, and I'm still craving more, says a little something on how addictive *in a good way* this show is.

Let's start off with the acting. Superb all around. This is going to sound funny but bare with me: Charlie Cox plays blind AMAZINGLY. He nailed it on the head. And now let's talk about Vincent D'Onofrio. This is how Fisk is supposed to look, talk, feel, act. Keeping up with nailing parts on the head, Vincent became Fisk, and did a damn fine job at it.

The characters are believable, relatable, and all around fun to watch. Watching Daredevil not only kick ass, but get his own ass knocked down on the journey. You get to see a side of Fisk that in my mind made him more human. He loves, he hurts, he gets worried, he's human, and not just some monster. I related to both characters, and because of that I found myself enjoying the show more.

A small thing, but still worth mentioning: The opening credits visuals, and the music that plays, is simply amazing. It's mesmerizing, and addicting *humming along*

If you're a fan of the MCU, or if you're a fan of comics in general, or even if you're just a fan of watching good t.v., I couldn't recommend this show enough.

Also, keep an ear out for the subtle hints to other characters in the MCU.

Bring on Season 2",9
"It's a great start and I'm glad they're making more but it had a few issues that made it challenging at times.

The good: Cavill nails the role as Geralt and they manage to capture the theme of moral ambiguity from the source material. Yennifer's back story was also very well handled. There are a few monsters in season 1 and they're well-handled but not gratuitous - the show is more about the characters than monster hunting, as it should be.

The bad: The timeline jumps are pretty jarring in the first few episodes and the various factions and locations are so poorly explained that without having read the books or played the games, I think I would really have struggled to understand what was going on. These things get better as the series progresses, however. Towards the end, the various plot threads converge and it is set up for a much more cohesive season 2. Another minor complaint is that some of the voice acting is a bit 'breathy' and I had to rewind and even put subtitles on for some of the lines - an issue that could and should have been addressed with post-production editing.

Verdit: worth a watch and posied for a good season 2.",8
Every person in ths cast made their work precisely good.,10
"Dont understood all the rave reviews. Did we watch the same movie? Personally I dont care about 60's Hollywood nostalgia. It was self indulgent drivel. As a QT fan I was really looking forward but in the end it put me to sleep, by the time I woke up I just didn't care enough about the characters to enjoy the last 10 minutes.",2
"Christopher Nolan directed this sprawling, ambitious science fiction film set in the near-future that stars Mathew McConaughey as a pilot turned farmer named Cooper, forced into that life when famine and blight ravage the earth, compelling humankind to turn away from exploration, even concocting revisionist history that gets his daughter Murphy in trouble at school, but soon their lives will be dramatically altered when he is recruited in a top secret mission headed by Dr. Brand(played by Michael Caine) which will see him team up with Brand's daughter(played by Anne Hathaway) on a dangerous mission into a wormhole that just may save the human race, if they make it back in time...

Big ideas at work here, and Nolan's direction is superb, as are the performances, though this story doesn't seem to know when to quit, becoming a bit far-fetched at the climax, but still remains an impressive endeavor nonetheless.

Will require multiple viewings.",7
"Fun ride, adorable story, cleverly written! Jenna Ortega NAILS Wednesday Adams! Better than any other version, IMO. Thing steals the show at times with its frantic signing and subtley humorous expressions (or whatever you want to call them). Principal Weems is both hateable and loveable at timess. And Enid was a lovely addition to the cast as Wednesday's polar opposite! And Christina Ricci (one of the 'other' Wednesdays) was about perfect in her role. I also thought that Fred Armisen, even though his appearance in the show was brief, did a great Uncle Fester - maybe even better than Jackie Coogan (1964 version) or Christopher Lloyd (1991). The only character that disappointed for me was Luis Gusman (Gomez Adams). For me, he did not display the charisma of Raul Julia or John Astin. Granted, his appearance was minimal. Overall, a fun series!",8
"*) K Reviews *) ( ( I deducted 3 point due to the stupidity in stretching the movie unnecessarily. Like they were catching the main culprit and they didn't ran behind when they can, and they left their bikes and cars to chase behind a 4 wheeler. Now this was the crazy part, but i watched the Hindi dubbed version and it was not dubbed properly, like they were actually saying ""impotent"" but they translated to ""takla"" which means bald head, which was completely inaccurate translation. Apart from all these flaws, movie is a thriller masterpiece according to the Indian cinema and this is not the kind of movie which you should miss out.",7
"Well this really is a disappointment. The writing is inconsistent, contradictory and at times simply incoherent.

For example, the ""Salem"" witch (and don't ask me why she is even introduced, apart from the need for a nemesis) explains that Wanda has no power in the lair as this was created by her spell, however later during their battle throughout the town the witch has all her powers; until Wanda decides to point out that the town was created by her spell and so the witch has no power there. Excuse me? Is this the same witch who has been ripping the town apart in her battle with Wanda for the last 10 minutes?

And the above is just one example. It really looks to be written by a committee (and one with limited collective intellect at that).

The acting is leaden, to the point of being cringe-worthy.

And the special effects just ho-hum.

All in all, a cinematic embarrassment.",2
"On general this is a show for female audience, but the acting is quite good and the story is ok, but no matter what it's a show for ""unpopular girl"" syndrome female audience, which dream about a popular guy chasing them... I just wish somebody made a show where you have a pretty girl interested in a weird guy, these are almost non existent, only in Japanese anime...",6

"We loved the first two seasons, and it has kind of an ending on season two. But season two starts off really stupid. The dancing on the first episode so totally bombed us.

Therefore watch season one and two only, then dump it!",7
First season is one of the best thing I have ever seen. There was a charming aura but did not continue in the same way from my point of view.,8
"As the moolah spurts from wells and rains from ceilings, courtesy of the grueling slog of the IT department, you can't help but feel a sense of indignation as well as glee, rolled into one. Raid doesn't compromise on the effectiveness of its screenplay to harp on about its innate socio-political essence relevant to the country; the latter is conveyed with remarkable subtlety, thus preventing it from ending up as a spoon-fed, jingoistic overkill. This is another feather in the cap for Ajay Devgn whose understatedness speaks volumes. This film will most certainly take you back to Ajay's Thakshak, Company, Gangaajal, Yuva, Raincoat, Apaharan, Omkara days. Saurabh Shukla proves yet again why he's the king of this genre. Pushpa Joshi however, making her debut at 85 as the delightfully irreverent Amma Ji, comes very close to stealing the show from both the ""veterans"".",10
Very good mystery murder show. Acting is exceptional and the show keeps watchers interest all the time. Good couple of twists in the show. Great cast and they made the show really good!,8
"Uninspiring film ... Just a mash up of many ideas of many films , which were made much better ... Basically , good just for younger generation of cinema fans , like before 10 ... should be marked like a kid's movie ...",4
"Episode 6 opened a possibility of getting Spiderman 4 that I've been waiting for, since 2007. 10/10 for that. But also for Kang (kinda), betrayal, season 2 announcement, better visual effects, better colors, cinematography, dialogues, the overall mixed emotional tone & for great performances.",7
"Bad story, bad script. Tom Hardy did his job but the story is so ridiculous that even him as actor come out .",2
The story line with Parker Posey is unbearably like a soap opera.,5
"I watched the first season with skips, the main plot was delayed too much, from the second episode the ending was so obvious, the characters weren't built up and lacked reason and the logic which could justify their actions.

Second season totally straightens up these flaws, it's like when a director actually listens to the critics and fans. The show becomes interesting, the writing is smarter and each character levels up into a more complex and crazy version. I hope they continue the quality work they started in second season.",7
"There is absolutely NOTHING witty in this film! Witty is NOT a word I would use to describe this film! Boring, tedious, dreadful, Very overly long, these are all the sorts of words that describe the film, not witty!!!!!!!!

The cameos from all of those people were far from necessary! The makers, the writer and director etc. obviously thought 'Hmmm how can we get this crap to sell? How can we bring the viewers in? Cameos! And over-hyping! That's what we need! We need lots of cameos by lots of different actors and actresses and lots and lots and lots and....of over-hyping! If we offer enough money and they have room in their diaries.... and if we hype this rubbish as much as we possibly can....' and lo viewers came in their hundreds and thousands and spent a huge heap of money on a truly dire film! And as awards ceremonies such as the Academy Awards are just advertising and promotion(al) vehicles no wonder this crap film won awards in various places, it needed them! Oh, and if any proof was needed that we humans are all sheep then the fact that so many people flocked to see this rubbish and then actually watched it and then rated it so highly and gave it such good/great reviews proves it!

There was such a long gap between plot points causing the film to feel very slow and very lumbered! Every time I have tried to see the film I have fallen asleep!

Ralph Fiennes was good and carried the film. Thanks to all of the sheep flocking to the cinemas I bet Ralph, and the rest of the cast, is now pleased this crap is on his, and her, C. V.!",2
"A very good movie from Bollywood in 2014. First talk about story its good and different. Then no.2 direction by Vikas Bahl is also good. No.3 and main point of movie is Kangana.I saw Kangana's really good performance in 'Fashion' after that now in 'Queen' she done very good job. I also appreciate Raj Kumar Rao and Lisa Haydon,Mish Boyko,Jeffrey Chee Eng Ho,Marco Canadea and the other cast. Now talk about cinematography is good,screenplay is good,film editing is average. Music is also good in the movie by Amit Trivedi. I suggest its worth to watch this one instead of Bollywood's MASALEDAR REMAKES OF SOUTH.So go and watch the beautiful movie.",8
"The first two episodes have been good. Ominous and kind of spooky, it sets up the events that will happen later on. However, HBO is starting to lose out to streaming services that allows the consumer to watch the entire season if they choose. The days of ""tune in next week"" are going away and I wish HBO would consider it on their HBO GO platform.",7
"For me this show is pretty good. I think it should have stayed away from politics at least not to the extent it does, it makes it a bit boring at times with long scenes of straight dialogue. I think that the heroes are really great in this, especially falcon. His character has an extreme amount of development, whether its backstory, personality or his relationship with bucky. Bucky has only really got development with falcon as he has already been developed across previous movies. As far as villains...they ain't that good. I did actually quite enjoy the US agents character arc, albeit a bit predictable but it was fun. However, anything to do with Carly was just bland, her character is just plain dreadful with no emotion, no epically cool powers or any stand out features. Her motivations are somewhat understandable and suck. Also I don't know what it was but something about her annoyed me, in the wrong way though, maybe it was the accent or bad dialogue but she just seemed fake and everything she said literally turned into a motivational speak about the same exact thing time and time again. Oh and zemo is there also. The action is really strong, there is a bit too many cuts and weird camera angles that stop you from seeing some cool punches which is a bit annoying, if you do see it, it is good. Really the best part was the ending, perfectly sets up future movies/tv shows and has a great speech about BLM to top it off. Its pretty good overall so I would give it a 7/10, it's certainly better than wandavision IN MY OPINNION, don't take it personally!",4
"Watched Barbie tonight with the missus and we loved it! Such a wonderful message and deep existential concepts that I was not expecting from a toy movie. It's up there with the first Lego Movie in heart, but almost feels like a maturer continuation of it. And thats not even getting into the visual aspects of it! From practical effects to the acting it was all top notch, visually engaging, and incredibly entertaining. To say i had tears at the end of it sounds embarrassing, but when the message. The visuals, and that score hit at the climax, the rush of feelings I got; The memories it unlocked; down to the thoughts if everything my wife's gone through and will go through... it was cathartic and heart wrenching all at the same time. I have so much to say about this movie, but i just want to bask in it for a while. Fantastic movie, I cannot praise it enough.",9
I tried to like this..the plot is interesting..concept is interesting.. but the direction is so idiotic and dumb and childish..too many flaws...this show deserves better a better direction.,5
"Ok, the first few episodes were intriguing, but around episode 5 and definitely episodes 6 and 7 it just entirely falls apart. I really wanted to like this show, but I'll list all the reasons I just can't bear any more of it. First of all, there are major gaps in the plot line, like killing someone with a horse without actually showing how you made the horse kill somebody. Secondly, switching out the main actress was an absolutely terrible idea, unless it was her or her agent's idea, in which case I'm glad they left. She was the show, and once she was gone there was nothing redeeming left. Episode 6 is literally pitch black like they forgot to turn the master brightness up from 5%, did anyone ever actually watch it before it was released? The wigs are absolutely ridiculous and it makes no sense that people with dark skin wearing awful wigs would be living on a cloudy coastline and have such dark skin, nor how mixing genetics randomly gets you children will fully dark skin again. Nothing in this show has any purpose, meaning, or sense about it, it's just aimless drama where a bunch of cheap scenes are filmed with people talking about their heritage or how its suddenly the end of the world, when in reality there is actually nothing wrong with the world, and their sibling is actually a completely different actor or just didn't age nearly as much as the ones who didn't get replaced. Seriously, this show turned out to be awful. I don't understand how they can do such a poor job and get away with it. Everyone in episode 6 should be fired for the lighting, absolutely F quality material and with such a high budget its an absolute immoral shame.",1
"A great continuation of the world that was introduced to us in the original Godfather. This work would make even Mario Puzo himself proud.

Found the duality between father and son poetic. Great way to show how Don Vito and Michael forged their own paths with different motivations. Every character had their own motivations that were understandable and believable. Not to mention the conniving Hyman Roth being an excellent villain. The ending was especially chilling as both protagonists were worlds apart when they achieved the same goal... solidifying their power.

Justice was also done to make the film feel like the eras portrayed. It felt as if I was seeing real scenes of 1920 Italian New York slums and the rise of Las Vegas in the 1950s. Beautiful.

The only problem I had with The Godfather: Part II was how Robert De Niro looked nothing like Don Vito. Should I hold that against him? Definitely not considering his stellar performance.

5/5. A must-watch for lovers of the Godfather or good films in general.",10
Not impressed. I lost interest after the 2nd episode. I cannot really understand the point of this series. It seems like just filled with cliché's and it is not really breaking any new ground. I was really excited to watch it. The visual quality is good. It looks like a movie and the special effects are good but overall I am bored. I will probably finish it sometime but definitely not binge worthy. To me.,4
"Webseries is far from showing real struggles and hard work of a UPSC Aspirant rather focuses on relationships. Acting is good but story could have been way better.

Was Disappointed after watching Season 1 and Season 2 is no different. May be makers could have used different title for the series. Not long ago TVF made me connect with Sandeep Bhaiya and now they are turning him into a revenge seeking person. What should have been a series to motivate Aspirants to do well and learn from struggles while facing the toughest exam on offer this is turning into a revenge drama which makes no sense to the exam facing aspirants.

TVF has made some of best shows on offer to the Indian viewers but this certainly isn't the best I have watched.",2
"I actually really liked this show. For a mature audience, it's very intriguing and rather well made. However, the show tries to balance two antagonistic elements -- entertainment and moralism, to portray a character who would, in reality, be a very troubled individual, in a story that is more romantic mystery/tragedy than psychological drama.

Despite the great acting and hooking dialogue, the story and characters can be really contradictory and unexplainable. The main character Hannah, for example -- her actions actually are more consistent with someone with a severe personality disorder, such as Borderline personality disorder. However, her depicted moods and tone don't suggest her actions at all. The kind of ""drama"" she generates in the show suggests a personality who is a lot moodier, more impulsive and very depressive. Instead the show largely tries to be a ""fairytale gone wrong"" by depicting her, for the majority of time, as an upbeat and gentle sweetheart who was wronged by the world.

Although the great thing about this show is that it does weave in a lot of complexity. There are characters who (inappropriately) take the blame for Hannah's suicide, and others who reject it. Hannah's subjectivity of experience is highlighted several times, but then ultimately the show sympathizes with Hannah's side of the story.

Sociologically/psychologically the show is pretty inappropriate because it depicts suicide and sets suicide as the final trump card. There is a scene where Clay hallucinates Hannah lying dead in a pool of blood, wearing a beautiful white gown. That scene is almost the epitome of romantic suicide. So sociologically this show is really not beneficial, but artistically it's twisted, dramatic and poignant.

The music, camera work, and editing are awesome. It does a really good job of painting a haunting and tragic yet also innocent and romantic canvas. Although the subject matter is dark the show itself is quite colorful and visually pleasing.

13 RW really does try to bite off more than it can appropriately chew. It tries to be interesting and entertaining yet also attempts to be frank and moralistic. Although it fails in some of those aspects, all in all it's a good show, and, despite the gimmicks, has a lot to offer.",8
"So the movie is ok, abit dark so dont see it on a sunny day. But the god damn music thats so laud and enoying killed it for me...",5
The plot and character had so much holes that i don't know how to start to describe,1
"The visuals and concept is great, however the execution could have been better. To explain:

Too many plot holes. They would always be detered by situations that didn't make sense / felt overly engineered.


The characters lacked logic. They would always do X when it was simpler / more coherent to do Y. Will was a main offender.",4
"I don't know how anyone could watch this movie all the way through without falling asleep. As a matter of fact about 1/2 the people at my cinema left without watching the ending. That's how bad this movie was. It went on and on and on and on and on and on and it kept going on till you practically couldn't take it anymore. It would jump 1 month, then 4 months, then 5 years, then 2 months, then 7 years!! way too much, OVERKILL!!!!! On top of that the movie was boring to begin with, the best part was the first 30 min and that's where it ends. I was very very happy when this movie finally ended :) If I were the producer I would've cut about an hour of the film and added 25 minutes of suspense. Then I think the movie would've deserved a 6-7/10 rating.",2
"Amazing movie...the love shown between dharma and Charlie was undefinable...very emotional & heart touching story...dogs love is unconditional they just want some care and attention in return they gave their loyalty ,unmatchble love.",10
"This series opens with a melancholy feel. The narration is via a teenager who is no more and the sadness lies through blame, guilt, violence and choice. The initial choice of a character is what will reach for your heart, grab it and tear chunks out. Slowly. With ease. Reminding you of just how vulnerable and cruel humankind can be.

With the aid of Clay, along with other teens, this series (and novel) kidnaps the audience and takes them on a journey of the mind. Many minds. It would be clichéd to say, 'you never know what a person goes through unless...', but, believe me, you will view others, especially teens, in a different light.

Hats off to the author, Jay Asher, and to those involved in the production of this complex soul gripping story line. There are no faults, just grit. There are no scene fills, just concrete. All needed to build the structure that created a masterpiece of harsh and robust collaboration of the complexities of people, the way they think and act.

If this series can't help you empathize, book yourself in to the docs and have him/her test you for narcissistic tendencies.

A very sad series with lots of teaching to offer, whether you sign up for that or not.

A must watch.",9
"I loved it so much, I loved all the characters very much, the comedy scenes, the emotional scenes. this show is the best show I've ever seen!",9
"The overall theme of the film was good But it was very badly made that I did not enjoy.

It was not funny at all, was not even possible to get the right result from the film. The writing of the film was very poor and confusing.",2
"OK.. Maybe is a little early for big TV celebrations since there is only one episode has aired already .. but Im pretty sure Joss Whedon will create another historical TV show that everyone will remember for many years like he has done in the past with almost all his projects. Joss is the man to create a super hero..to make them love or hate..or even scare of them..to develop characters ..to kill them..and of course to bring them back to life like nobody else. As I was watching the episode,the funny dialogues, the action,the mystery, it reminded me again the old good Buffy days. The potential for a a real deal on TV is definitely huge with this TV series Even though the team's first assignment—involving an ordinary guy with strange new powers (J. August Richards)--is kind of average as adventures go, the actors seem to have found a snappy groove already. The Avengers was destined for a TV show and it sure as hell got a good one. This is definitely one of the best news shows of the year, and it definitely deserves to be watched and praised. Trust me, this show will lure you in and won't let go. Millions of people waited a long time for Marvel finally to hit the television..and they couldn't make a better choice than Joss. This is Joss Whedon's billion-dollar franchise guardian. And with great power comes great..eh? I only wish in the future to see some Buffy,Firefly,Angel actors to quest star in some episodes...it will be a great surprise for us..the old ones who always believed in this mastermind.",9
"Based on 1 cool idea for a horror, built the whole script around it and pass it off as a horror film. Atrocious acting, well maybe it was the script. Really bad direction. Apart from the gory intro, the next 20mins was unbearable to watch. Nothing the characters do moves the plot forward. Most of the teens just earns a tight slap on the face, especially that butch. 32mins in, i was clutching my fists and shutting it off. Trying to be an antagonist and pissing the audience off is entirely different things. So I don't know what all these other reviews are on about. Close friends of actors? Production crew? 1 star the idea. 1 star for the intro.",2
"This movie was so terrible, I am literally sitting in the parking lot of the theater writing this review. I enjoyed the first movie, I would give it a solid 6/10, it was entertaining but Venmo 2 made Venmo 1 look like a masterpiece! It was so horribly bad I don't know where to start. First the writing feels like it has schizophrenia, it's all over the place! It's like two writers sat in different rooms, and came up with two very different movies and then both were so horrible they decided to smash both of them together, hoping two negatives would make a positive! It did not work. The only redeeming quality from this movie was Hardy and the effects, Venmo really did look spectacular. The end fight was uneventful, the romance embarrassingly awkward, and the plot forced. Would the movie have been better if it was rated R, probably but not by much, I also don't understand why they only made it 1 hour and 37 minutes long... adding another 25 or 30 minutes would have made an impact but I am not sure how you would have saved this dumpster fire! Definitely a disappointment.",3
"Thrilling action sequences & Great camera work don't expect good story .

Very very weak plot, not so engaging screenplay, and unnecessarily stretched story. Not a single character got proper screen time to develop character, everything seemed rushed. So many brilliant actors in the cast, still none of them got the opportunity showcase their talent. Very disappointed!!! Storyline is so poor and no logic. Indian mafia who is inside money don't have money and Bangladeshi mafia controls police army everything and he kidnapped Indian mafia's son for money. Don't want to say more .

(Do some research . Wrong representation of Dhaka (Bangladesh), it killed the soul of the city. Language, culture, people nothing is on the target. Next time shoot movie inside Bangladesh and recruit some natives)",2
"The reviews that call this ""genius"" are just ridiculous. The plot was so overwhelmingly incredulous that even the most open minded movie goer would find this plain brain dead.

I love the long mundane reviews of this ""work of art""/""masterpiece"". How much were you fools paid to write such garbage.

Half through my son summed it up best when he asked ""dad, is it almost done yet?"" Enough said.

3 thumbs down from our group and 8 thumbs down from co-workers.

Odd, my own little cross section severely diverges from the reviews in IMDb......hmmmm..",1
"The movie has a huge quota of blood shed and stomach wrenching scenes. There were scenes where i felt that i would throw up.

but still the movie is slick, fast and entertaining.

Movie spans from British India to modern day and surprisingly you don't realise who is the protagonist with whom you need to sympathise and who is the antagonist.

all the characters are well defined. Hats off to ANurag for superb cinematography ! at the end of the movie, i could have sat and watched the 2nd half as well. I didn't wanna go home thinking what is gonna happen next.

what i didn't understand is why Manoj bajpayee and Richa chadha's children didn't resemble either of them :-)",7
One of the best films that I've seen in a while and my favorite for the Oscars. The nearly 2 hour movie went by in no time. I didn't realize while watching that my emotions had become so heightened because by the end I had tears in my eyes. Was not expecting that. Would highly recommend!,8
Almost all points wat makes a movie to be watchable is der in this movie. Real things r well reflected on reel platform. It deserves a watch who really respect the meaning of life.,8
"Great idea for a new series...very, very poor execution. I had so much hope for this show given the cast and already proven story line. I blame the writing, which is horrendous. Most the stories/episodes seemed to have been whipped up with a few hours with no proof reading. Believe it when I tell you the robot had the best dialogue in the movie--concise, appropriate and purposeful. All the other characters seemed to be grandstanding at the most ridiculous times. Not a single character displayed any natural leadership throughout the shows--it was always forced. You can find better leadership skills on an elementary playground. Then there is the flow of the story line. The various episodes seem to be duct taped together with scotch tape. I don't think that the writers spent more than 5 minutes texting each other emoji messages on the story line should develop. What can I say, I am just severely disappointed in the show!!",2
"Season 1 - 4 were AMAZING!

Season 5 was historically bad! So I hoped that they would redeem themselves with a new season. They had years to work on this series ans THIS is what they come up with? WHY??

It's horrible. Boring, blend, tedious, pretentious.. there's literally nothing positive about season 6.

Who made the first four seasons? What happened to those people? Can we have them back please?

If not, end the suffering of this series. It's dead then.",3
"Okay, I absolutely loved the original cartoon. I also really like the 2001 live action show. This one I've been watching. I'm on the 2nd season. It is okay. It does have really good special effects and video quality.

I guess my main complaint is that they took every good part of the original and got rid of it. Then they replaced it with cliche super hero action. There's very little humor, though there is some. There's one long story, instead of episodic. Because of that, the whole series seems like filler. When oh when will they realize that people want episodic stories that end in one episode. Is there some type of college class labelled How to Ruin Television, that everyone is taking nowadays?

Giant Monsters: One of the best things of the original was the giant monsters. There was a tiny bit of that in this show. But really almost nothing.

Action: One of the great things of the original was the action. There's very little action in this show.

Humor: The original, as well as the 2001 remake, were both hilarious. The humor is very minor in this series.

Continuity: The original was so groundbreaking because of the continuity. Like when ChairHead tried to carve his name on the moon. That remained on the moon for the entire series. Or when the moon broke. That stayed too. Well I can't really say if this series has that or not. Because 2 seasons of this series is like one episode of the original, so not enough time is passing for any continuity.

Anyways, the show is okay. I find myself checking my clock whenever I watch it. Or, fast forwarding past the many many scenes of people talking and not doing anything. It's tolerable for a comedy superhero starved populace, but overall it's not great.",6
"Stunning visuals but the story was all over the place. Jude Law as amazing as he usually is, was not a bit convincing as a young Dumbledore but I guess the worse was Johnny Depp. Such a miscast. I don't know what happened to his acting skills since pirates of the caribbean it seems he never left that character.

In general, this movie lacks the heart and passion of the HP franchise as well as a good script.",6
"Im not a fans of venom but, this movie just too boring too watch even the fight scene looks awful.

The girl is just for what?

the oppening plot just took too long wasting the time

he was my favorite villain

but this time sony.does awful movie.",4
Marvel hasn't quite gotten their shows right. The episodes are a bit too overstretched with not much happening in each episode. There is a lot of forced humour that is extremely jarring and awkward. Most importantly it lacks this unifying soul. They all feel so much like people just acting but not like a real story with real people.,6
"As someone very familiar with the books - and in original at that, some games and also having a painful and regrettable memory of the original tv show (this one is not the first attempt...), I thoroughly enjoyed it.

First of all, do not be fooled - this tv show is not ""faithful to the books"". And this is it's simultaneously it's greatest strength and it's greatest weakness. Obviously source material is vast and it needed to be condensed into several episodes, and choice of the stories is not difficult, when we have to introduce main characters and the connections between them. But the flashbacks are virtually indistinguishable from the main story line (as in the saga, in contrast to stories/flashbacks, which as books were anthologies of stories... to some extent), and I'm pretty sure this will make somewhat difficult to follow the events for ""vanilla"" viewers. There are some things that are unique to this show only, but understandable: books understated and left a lot to the imagination of the reader, and Author intended it that way. Anyway... That's one star taken away from perfect 10. I personally like it that way, but I agree with other reviews: someone in production should be sacked.

Henry Cavill from now is Geralt for me. Forever. His performance is now eternal. Of course good material helps immensely, but this match is perfect. Some other actors are also excellent, but overall... cast could be better. Acting of the lower quality characters is also a problem. That's another star detracted.

I must be honest though - these are ""technical"" issues, which in no way make the show bad. Just... slightly less perfect.",8
I don't want to be a troll but this movie is a bit overrated i think. We have much better dramas in Turkish cinema.,6
"The movie I recently watched was fairly commendable. It presented a compelling narrative, artfully woven together to hold the viewer's interest throughout its duration. The story was intricate, filled with twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat, consistently surprising and always engaging.

Moreover, the makeup and aesthetics were impressive, adding a significant layer to the overall visual experience. The painstaking detail put into every prosthetic, the subtle transformation of actors into their characters through the magic of makeup was indeed breathtaking.

However, the movie also contained elements that were shocking, eliciting strong emotional responses. This added a layer of unpredictability to the viewing experience, making it more than just a passive activity.

Despite the above strengths, I found one aspect of the movie difficult to overlook: the cast. In comparison to the actors from the 90s, who were generally attractive, fit, and brought a certain level of charisma and appeal to the screen, the actors in this movie seemed to lack those qualities.

These actors, it seemed, were selected with a different criterion in mind. Some of them had an unappealing aesthetic, with hairstyles that could generously be described as 'unfortunate'. Their look was further marred by bulging eyes that seemed more likely to elicit unease than empathy from the audience.

Overall, while the actors were able to convincingly embody their characters, their physical appearances diverged greatly from the conventional attractiveness often associated with Hollywood. This deviation was jarring, and it detracted from the overall enjoyment of the film, giving the viewer an element of distraction that was hard to ignore.",3
"I red people review, most of them are look like DCs fans. I mean look at the review, some people give this movie 10 star, is this a awesome Fantasy/Sci-fi movie? of course not. the content of this movie is something 100% guessable and there isn't any new thing which could be fresh or Exciting content at all. it could be great, but it's not. I was on of the DC fan, now I'm not, they should change their manner.",3
"So when I first got into anime this was one of the first series' that I began watching, and I can tell you that I wasn't disappointed in the slightest...at first. So the series follows almost perfect protagonist Light Yagami, who is a flawless student with a clear and promising future, his life is changed however, when he comes across the Death Note, a book holding the powers of a death god. He uses this to wipe the world clean of criminals, but his morals soon come into question. Obviously the authorities notice this and use what they can to catch the person killing the criminals, who is nicknamed 'Kira' The premise is absolutely fantastic but the only thing that did get me at first was how quickly Light descended into madness, by the end of episode one he was already showing signs of it, which got to me a bit. The characters are great and realistic, and Light's rival named 'L' is a complex but equally interesting character, his goal is to catch Kira and soon Light and L have a game of cat and mouse between them, switching roles on occasions. Now here's for the bad parts of Death Note; First off, the series makes the most simplest of things dramatic, for example, there is extremely dramatic music playing while Light is just writing names down in the death note or just eating potato chips, it isn't that bad, but it makes the series look less serious than it should be. Now here's for the main flaw, the series begins to get repetitive, but then gets good again by episode 20, and episode 25 is absolutely brilliant, but after episode 25? It just gets boring as hell, I nearly gave up on the series because of how boring and uninteresting it got, it introduced two characters, Near and Mello. Near is a little sh*t and makes the series worse while Mello just acts cocky and eats chocolate, which didn't really appeal to me and after looking at other reviews, it didn't appeal to a lot of other people. So in conclusion I recommend Death Note highly because it is a must see series for any anime fan out there.",8
"This is my least favourite one. As much as I love Part 2, I really don't think this should have been split into two films. Just make a 3 hour epic the finale you COWARDS. No but seriously, the pacing, particularly in the second half, is just too slow for me to really get into it. I still like the visuals and the story overall, and I would say that the performances of the lead three are probably the best that they've ever been. They've truly come into their own as actors, and it's great to see that. I do wish Ginny got more screentime aswell, but that's been an issue since the 5th film so that doesn't bother me anymore. I still really like where they went with Draco, and the opening action sequence is really enjoyable, and sets the film up really well. So whilst I don't love this as much as some of the others, I still appreciate a lot of elements within it, and at the end of the day I do enjoy it.",7
"I think if it was a B-movie it would have been a lot better... maybe I wouldn't have expected so much like: a basic plot that was interesting, action sequences that made sense, no deadpool monologues, something to care about in the script, no camera spiking from Ryan Reynolds, use of Melanie Laurent. But what was I thinking.

I turned it off after 20 minutes but that's because u just walked away and couldn't figure out where all the noise was coming from.

I wish netflix just gave us 10 good movies instead of this.

The extra star is because I like the colours.",2
I can't understand why it was necessary to use Dhaka city? Kolkata was more appropriate for this plot!,4
"Like a lot of people out there, I have a difficult taste in manga (and or anime). Been a fan since the 80ies as soon I saw the Fist of the North Star. That movie knocked me off my Superman socks. So when you get older, ones taste develops.

So when I have a show or animated movie to watch I lower my expectations, not to be disappointed early on. If still disappointed, I turn off the manga. With Death Note I didn't have to do that. It's enjoyable, tense and smart. Love the fact how it turns into; outsmart your opponent. The characters are complex and you will find a lot of paradoxes which are not forced upon you. Death Note in my opinion has one of the best scripts out there.",9
"Every scene, every dialogue is so powerful. This is by far the BEST movie Bollywood has ever made. Just brilliant. The music is magical. A R Rehman has composed and directed some great songs but Man Mohana in this movie is at another level. Beautifully sung. I never write reviews on IMDb but this movie is so good, it deserves a 10 star review. I just bought a DVD of it on eBay so that I can watch it again and again on my 50 inch screen! The bigger the screen, the better the movie experience will be for this movie. It is magnanimous in every respect. Kudos to Hrithik, Aishwarya and Ashutosh Gowariker. This will remain etched in the memories of Indian audiences forever. Thank you so much for giving such a great cinematic gift.",10
"I watched this movie at least 10 times and love it more every time i watch it...

1. The songs are soul of this movie. Songs are so apt to the situations in the movie!!

2. The movie is very well directed, very well scripted, very well acted... it has romance, it has comedy, it has sad scenes, it has fights, the shooting locations are wonderful...

3. The only reason why i gave it 9 stars is because i cannot give it 9.5... i would cut 0.5 stars for Kareena's overacting few times in the beginning of movie (please note i am old enough to understand the difference between bubbly nature and overacting)...

It is a must watch movie!!!",9
"Excellent movie..can watch it n times.. Shreeram Raghvan had done abrilliant job... Totally unpredictable and classic thriller.. Johnny Gaddar is one of the best thrillers of recent times.... The movie is about 5 crooks...two of them got murdered ....Suspects are remaining three...From start to end it binds you n u don't even think to miss a scene.. Niel does a brilliant job in his first movie.. Dharam ji is as usual excellent....Music is good by Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy...Especially the title track and sabse bada rupaiya....Watch the movie even if u don't like thrillers because its different and most important its original...not a copy of any Hitchcock or Hollywood movie..

I was extremely wary of the show due to me loving the video games & books. However I am now in love with the show & I truly hope it continues. I truly was a person going into the show thinking it would be terrible but ended up truly loving every moment of it. Yennefer story was absolutely amazing. The only actor I did not agree with is triss's actress.,9
Was into the movie until Beyonce started butchering the songs. Such a disappointment.,3
"It is unbelievable that JK Rowling's name is even attached to this film.

The discipline and thought that went into the Harry Potter characters and story certainly wasn't applied to this catastrophe, which, like the Hobbit and so many other Hollywood regurgitation(s), merely seeks massive profits by piggybacking on a successful franchise while being utterly devoid of substance.

It isn't even worth going into detail. There is only one truly likable character, though you can't relate to ANY character as we know absolutely nothing about them, nor do they have any developed relationships with each other.

The entire script is built around the magical creatures doing damage to NYC, again, a ridiculous premise, as the damage is massive and there is no backlash. The complicated boundaries between the magical and non-magical worlds and people, so well laid out in HP, are completely absent. The most ridiculous example of idiotic, careless detail is that for most of the scenes on the streets of NYC, it is practically a ghost town, whereas in reality, NYC in the 1920s was nearly as densely populated as it is now. Perhaps more so, not worth it to fact check this.

And Eddie Redmayne as the lead was totally inaccessible, not engaging and half of his speech literally unintelligible. Fully one third into the movie it is finally established that he, the lead character, is closer to magical creatures than humans, but by then, not only do we not care about him or like him, but really the script gives him not ONE real relationship wherein to show forth his character. Who is he? Where does he come from? We don't know. Anyway, a horrible choice for a lead character, someone who has no emotional connection to any characters. Even his relations to the animals is explored surface level, there is no one relationship with anyone or anything that develops throughout the story and makes the audience care about the character. Only superficial plot-related details are given and there is no emotional or human life at all.

This is the same way all the characters, every single one, is treated. They are merely 2 dimensional props, there to perpetuate a plot that is mostly centered around special effects and hubris action, magical creatures rampaging here and there, and, as I said, unrealistically, going on undetected.

Literally, not one shining point to this film. Another disgrace to storytelling, devoid of all substance and creativity, pumped out of the Warner Bros fecal-making factory. Utterly disappointed.",1
CGI stunning Storyline pace fast Confusing as hell Loses every aspect of the point of story telling Cavill is excellent but support cast are very poor,5
First episode was great but second episode is boring.,7
"Reviewers say that ""Shazam"" is light and funny, that it gets to the heart of being a bullied child and yearning for power, and that it did not display the boring pomposity of so many recent comic book movies. The main character, Billy Batson, is an adolescent boy in the body of a superhero. ""Shazam,"" reviewers promised, is the superhero version of ""Big,"" the 1988 Penny Marshall hit about a boy who magically enters an adult body. The reviewers were only partially telling the truth. ""Shazam"" contains too many scenes that are pompous, hateful, violent, and just plain weird in a movie that suddenly switches into cute, crippled child mode. Zachary Levi, a 38 year old actor who plays Billy Batson, is very good, sweet, funny, and believable as a child in an adult's body, and he deserved a better movie. But he and the producers are raking the bucks.

""Shazam"" opens with an assault on those most evil of villains, white, Christian, wealthy, heterosexual, American men. Three males are traveling in a car at Christmas time. Bing Crosby is singing ""Do You Hear What I Hear,"" over the car radio. The father is a vicious creep who mocks his youngest son, sitting in the backseat. His prized first-born is up front with him.

Long story short: the youngest son, who is being picked on, is offered power by a wizard, but he blows it because the eye of Sauron offers him the ring of power - no, wait, sorry, wrong fantasy. Basically Satanic beings offer the kid power. This motif is ultimately ripped off from the New Testament's ""Temptation of Christ"" narrative. It's ironic that schlocky Hollywood movies rip off the Bible even as they bash Christianity. Get used to the bashing and the cultural appropriation. There are Christmas trees throughout this movie. The superheroes are all pseudo Messiahs. Nothing new here.

The youngest son grows up to be Dr Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong). He's obsessed with gaining the power he couldn't receive when he was a greedy little brat. Eventually Sivana will get that power and use it to murder his abusive brother and father. He walks into a boardroom full of rich, white, Americans. Using demons, he violently murders them all. A couple of observations. Hollywood would never produce a big budget movie that included such a violent, hateful scene where a church or restaurant full of black people were violently murdered. And what the heck is this scene doing in a movie that is supposed to be for little kids? Mark Strong's performance as a man focused on the coldblooded destruction of human life belongs in a serious treatment of some historic atrocity.

Anyway. Billy Batson, a foster child, gains superpowers and fights Sivana. You've seen it all before. There are funny, light, ""Big""-like scenes. Their placement in the movie served to make this viewer conscious that this movie could have been different, it could have been thoroughly light, funny, and innovative, and instead it is a mishmash of styles, tone, and agendas.",6
"In one word, classic. What a plot, story and all. Watched so many movies based on the same psycho killer story. But this one is really thrilled to watch. A must watch and recommended to everyone.",10

"What sets Wednesday Addams from rest of Today's heros ? Wednesday Addams reconsiders.

Yes. That is the one important and crucial quality was missing from Today's overconfident ,know it all,all powerful heros.

And It took Tim Burton to point it out. Every encounter Wednesday has with other characters ,she immediately get upperhand with her snappy replies but every once in a while something caught her off guard and she is wise enough to think those through. Ultimately that makes her progressively evolved.

I like the overall Machivellian ,Edgar Allan Poe theme and usage of music throughout the season. It is a breath of fresh air especially the music . It encaptures the soul of some situations perfectly.",8
"This part was best and better than first part. I would like to see third part with enemies from another country. I will get sick of Hydra if they use same name in 3rd part.

Overall Chris made a great symmetry and looks perfect for super hero. Movie is worth watching no major CGI or virtual displays used like in Iron man. The CGI was very limited and gave a good twisted here and there.

Looking forward for great story and less CGI in 3rd part with more characters and continue to keep that serious look in Cap.

I wonder if they would get more side kicks in next part. I'm really excited for the next one.",9
"Just want to say that this movie was a major breakthrough in the 1980's. When I watched this for the first time, I was 9 years of age and I was living in Pakistan at that time. Very soon after it was released in Pakistan, it became a major hype throughout the neighbourhood. Every kid on the block was singing songs from this movie and it soon channeled itself into my heart as well and make its place there. I would recommend this movie to everybody, regardless of taste because it accomodates all possible tastes. This movie has a lot of aesthetic value for me and its definitely a watcher. Don't miss this one if you haven't already seen it.

"Yet again, a recognized quality franchise known for good story lines is in disarray. What went wrong? My guess is poor editing for continuity, but could also be problems with directing, script. While visually stunning, not in anyway interesting. Feels to me like in story meetings the creative team had a big hat full of characters, took turns drawing from said hat and throwing at story board to build story line, while very, very high. And in another lesson in film biz reality from Mel Brooks Spaceballs, we have Grindelwald the video, Grindewald the hair gel, Grindewald the makeup remover, and Grindewald the AR app. Might be fun to see the post-vewing questionnaire the test audience received to see what our knucklehead overloads want to feed our cinematic senses. On another note, are there any gifted across the pond thespians capable of portraying Grindewald's smoldering psychopath, 'cause Johnny Depp really needs a break and so do I. Perhaps, another way this franchise is teetering on the edge of sacrificing craft for the purity of pulp profit. Bottom line, placeholder episode failed to keep hubby and me immersed in 'movie-land'; the 12 year old boy and his aunt next to me were fidgeting too.",6
"It took 10 minutes to end up watching this chaos. In that time there were at least 20 cars crashed, several people killed and almost all of this picturesque city of Florence destroyed by characters. Do we really need this kind of ""action"" movies today. At the neurological point of view, there is simply too many stimulus to handle. It was like Michael Bay have been under influence of MDMA for a whole movie project and the outcome is pretty sad ride. Target audience for this movie is pretty narrow. Trump may like this movie a lot.",1
"To be completely honest, this is easily the most boring movie I've probably ever watched. The first part of the movie is a complete utter bore. Things actually picked up a bit midway through when they reached to their destination but even so it then falls back as flat as it all started.

Though the plot of the movie is quite an interesting one, it does take in my opinion a little bit too much time to get put into place which makes it really annoying at first. The lack of action of any sort, I mean even the most innocuous ones really brings the spectator to sleep all throughout.

It's actually hard to keep focus during the whole thing without doing something on a side actually with the long sequences of boring dialog. These, between the different characters are rather toneless, emotionless and they all speak like as if they were in some sort of documentary. It's actually quite unfortunate because the story in itself is quite interesting but the way it is played is just completely boring.",2
What do you expect from the Bay? Decent viewing nothing spectacular but plenty of high octane action and a few decent laughs. One of the better Netflix films I've seen.,7
"Venom 2 follows Eddie and Venom as they try to figure out where a serial killer hid the body's which ends up with the serial killer getting his own Symbiote. Unfortunately Venom 2 did not have an engaging or Compelling story and I was very hyped for this movie. I will say that the CGI was great and the fight scenes were amazing. The story focuses way to much on Eddie and Venoms relationship it makes them turn into a couple who constantly argue with with each. The movie had a great villain with Carnage and but the secondary villain was really boring with not a lot of scenes or character development. Not only were the villains quite boring but the side characters too. Fans of the MCU will like the post credit scene tho!

As always Tom Hardy plays Eddie and Venom to perfection. Woody Harrelson plays Carnage and he was really good playing the psychopath but doesn't get a lot to do in the movie. Stephen Graham plays the most boring side character I have ever seen he was underused and has no character development at all.

Overall the movie could have been way better but unfortunately it ended up being one of the worst sequel movie.",6
This show has a few really clever and funny ideas...Unfortunately the story is not very long so they decided to fill it with random facts about characters that have nothing to do with anything except to waste time. Slightly more enjoyable than it is annoying so i say its worth a watch.. The ideas were also just dumb. At least a few of them. see doesnt the idea of 4 horsemen counteract the need for an antichrist? Its things like this that make no sense that bring down what would otherwise be a really good show.,6
"After INCEPTION and the awful THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, my expectations for Christopher Nolan's new science fantasy film were low. And at 169 minutes, INTERSTELLAR is a bloated mess, with a few breathtaking visuals and ambitious concepts thrown into the mix.

Nolan has become one of those A-list directors who thinks that every idea he has while cutting his toe nails somehow reveals a Deep Insight About The Human Condition that must be expanded into a movie. Merged from two screenplays, the story is full of plot holes and characters who do stupid things. Some key elements are not explained at all.

To his credit, Nolan hired astrophysicist Kip Thorne to advise him about wormholes and black holes. It's the futuristic space elements that kept me awake between stretches of tedious melodrama delivered by various ""name"" actors. I actually liked the quirky robots more than the people in this movie. By design or accident, INTERSTELLAR has a strong 1970s sensibility. Think SILENT RUNNING, PHASE IV, SOLARIS, SOYLENT GREEN, and BLAKE'S 7. There's just too much of Disney's THE BLACK HOLE and not enough of what Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke did so well in 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY.

Ultimately, the cringe-worthy ending shows that Nolan was just making it up as he went along. Let me say that if you liked PRO-MEH-THEUS and INCEPTION, you should enjoy INTERSTELLAR. Otherwise, proceed with caution.",5
"As far as Stephen King adaptations go, it's not the worst, but it's certainly not the best either.

Just as the book, the show starts out strong, and then becomes less engaging the longer it goes.

They have changed a few things around here and there, but nothing huge really, and I would probably have enjoyed this show quite a lot, if it wasn't for one glaring issue, the character of Holly Gibney.

Holly is one of my favourite characters Stephen King has created in quite a while, and I knew going in that there was going to have to be changes when adapting her to this show, because for one, in the book she has the benefit of being built up and fleshed out in 3 previous books, so a lot of her quirks and character traits you came to know naturally over the course of time when reading the books, they obviously can't do that in this show, so a lot of them just had to go, and I can live with that, what I can't live with is how badly acted she was. It was really tough to sit through her extremely cliché line delivery, that stop and start way of talking that's been done to death, for me she very nearly ruined the show.

In the end there is more positive than negative, and if you think you would enjoy a murder mystery with supernatural overtones, then you will probably have a decent time with this show, it's well produced, mostly well acted by the main cast, with the aforementioned exception, and it has a pretty interesting premise.",7
"The playwrights did a great job playing games with the audience's emotions. The Clay you feel a pity for in Season 1 and cheer for in Season 2 becomes such an unbearable jerk by Season 4 it made me almost stop watching. Ani, just like Alex, never quite made herself likeable but Bryce and Zach (both almost until the end of Season 4) get more compelling as characters with every new appearance. On the other hand, the reasons why certain characters such as Marcus and Sheri disappear from the plotline all of a sudden are unclear. Google the answers by yourself!

One thing that sticks out in this era of political correctness is the disproportional representation of gay characters. Let's count together: Alex, Ryan, Tony and his boyfriends ending with Caleb, Monty, Winston, Charlie (who claims to be bi), Courtney's fathers, Dean Foundry, to name just a few. Some sources claim that LGBTQ people make up about 4.5 percent of the U. S. population and 6.7 percent of recurring TV characters, but here the representation is sorely overblown and gay PDOA becomes ubiquitous ad nauseam towards the end. By Season 4, the viewer is left expecting just about any two male characters to start kissing all of a sudden. It feels like Evergreen Gay High School has a slogan: Who isn't gay yet, please, report to Dean Foundry. By the way, where are all the lesbian characters? I would surely be interested in some loveplay beyond Courtney's with Hannah in Season 1.

In conclusion, this show makes a number of good points. In my high school, though years after my graduation, there was a case of a high-profile kid who hung himself and then his father then created havoc in the school and the whole town. ""13 Reasons Why"" gave me a lot of new angles to look at this case. Starting with Season 2, though, the episodes start feeling drawn out unnecessarily with too many twists burying the feeling of suspense. Too many conflicts are left unresolved until the student walk-out in Season 4 - possibly since more seasons were planned for originally - so the eventual peace treaty feels unnatural, a classic deus-ex-machina resolution. I agree with other reviewers that the last season really spoiled the overall impression and felt just like milking the air time for cash.",6
"Season one started with promise, the cast was interesting, the plot looked pretty good and while the characters were shallow they had a reason to be so (narcissistic father) and I would still have rated it 9/10 at the time. The show came off as if the writing could become insightful.

Wind forward 2 seasons and it's all too clear they had no idea at all, every character further devolved into ugly cardboard cutouts, a cartoonish replica of human interaction and it only gets worse. The whole show degenerated into woke narcissistic boilerplate nonsense.

I once ate old bacon by mistake and that tangy greasy spoiled sensation at the back of my throat is what this show is like.

But that's Netflix new normal. YUCK.",2
"Throughout the film we're told that the Hero chooses a path where he must sacrifice a personal life in-order to be the hero, yet this is all spoilt in the last 5 minutes when we discover that the Hero can also have the girl. It feels as if Sam received a ""note"" from the executives instructing him they needed an upbeat ending and thus it feels like a kludge

That said the rest of the film is pretty great, there were one or two moments when the story drooped (typically when the characters were emoting) and some of the effects do look a little too cartoony (maybe they came from the heavily adveritised spiderman game).

Also not sure about so many people having seen spiderman without his mash, surely one of the people on the train would be straight off to the Bugle to describe spidey.",8
"Venom Let There be Carnage is the sequel to the 2018 movie Venom. Before I go to things that I feel like it needs to be improved on, I like to say what I feel is alright. It does have a little disagreement between Eddie and Venom of which does help advance their character arc. It really shows that they're two different characters.

Now with the complaints, the story seems to do more telling than showing. That can stem from them trying to do it within a PG-13 rating. With Cletus Kassidy being a serial killer, he's a character best done with the R rating. It's better as well if the movie was at least a half hour longer. That will prevent the story from breaking the role of show don't tell and would prevent the story from feeling rushed. I like to see something like a director's cut where it's pretty much this movie but it's a half hour or two longer and has the R rating. I feel like something with this set of characters could work, just the rating and the runtime just prevents it from going to its full potential.

I feel this movie is ok at best and feel like there should have more added to live up to its wasted potential.",6
"Overall, Spiderman 2 is the best Spiderman film easily. If you are a fan of Spiderman then definitely see this film.

It has great action, great effects, great story, and it comes closest to the characters in the comics than any of the other films. You really do not even need to watch the first movie before this.

I would recommend you do, but it is not required to understand this. This film is pretty self-contained.",7
Obviously Ratsasan moved across the magnanimous way of thrilling experience from the opening to the end and the movie sliced into the utmost way of montage that carries a common plot to extravagant make over. When we went through the subject line we feel that it follows the similar path of other thrillers that we gone through earlier but Ratsasan attain something a top position because of the extra ordinary editing technique and direction. It pulls me to haunch in the seat nail biting even though out to the end. A good thriller and a guideline for every film aspirant points how to make a good thriller out of simple subject.,8
"If you are a story buff and person that is all about lore. This show would not be for you. This show is definitely entertaining.

However, the first season followed the story a bit more closely. The second season was clearly written more for television. Which was a shame. Because, it was a breath of fresh air to see the novels and the games adapted so well on the screen.

Again, do not let me deter you from watching the shows. They did a phenomenal job in casting the characters in the show. Especially Ciri, Geralt, and Yennefer.",7
But really poor scenario. Characters acting soooo dumb. Like zero logic and motivation in what they say and do :(,4
"The lack of plot and script just enhances how undefeated Aniston's charm is - she still manages to pull off a likable character.

The European scenery looks amazing in the high budget photography.",3
"At last it came to this. A show with an original idea and unique premise during its first couple seasons degenerated to a fanboy/fangirl fiction. The storyline is simple and repetitive. Bad swarthy guys from Third World countries or old adversaries like Russia or China which are enemies of big mighty old USA have always a WMD (weapon of mass destruction )....All law enforcement agencies , legal institutions are ineffective against them because well they are normal and they are too nice and they play by the book ( writers always overlook that ""book"" is one of the most important things which puts difference between us and supposedly eeeevil bad guys ) and bad guys are ultra organized , prepared and unreasonably evil. Millions of lives is at stake as always. But wait there is a factor they didn't consider. A government agent/superman/james bond/rambo : Jack Bauer. He kills , maims , blackmails , tortures without mercy , second thinking , reservation or accountability. He is dream of every 13 year old juvenile who wants to be world saving hero and maximized ignorant ultra patriots...

Unbelievably stupid plot twists and holes , badly written dialogue , sci-fi technologies , instant beaming between from one distant location to another which is impossible in most ideal conditions with conventional means in real life ( there goes real time aspect which this show supposed be all about ) and characters without natural needs complete the picture. Seriously all constant fan attention about this idiotic show seriously terrifies me about mental state of American public. Maybe one day we will also learn special mutant powers of Jack Bauer...

Only three stars for real time idea and drama aspect of first two seasons",3
"It's one of those movies, that wants you to think that it's clever, that it's Nolan-esque while actually being incredibly average and uninspiring. The idea is a well-established one, execution subpar, acting decent, Sarah Snook carried it. It's very dialog heavy, don't watch it if all you came for is the action, it's literally not even 2% of the film, majority of it is just Sarah talking with Ethan in a bar. I didn't understand it, it was confusing and the ending didn't help, it reveals absolutely NOTHING so be ready for that. It's not gonna impress you, nor disgust. As I already said, Uninspiring.",5
"I was eager to find out if Iron Man 2 could become as good or even better than the first entry in the franchise like Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight. Unfortunately it is neither as good or better - a slight disappointment.

Without going into detail, the 2nd arc drags on far too long and the character of Rhodey and the Black Widow go from A to Z without any real explanation. On the bright side of things Robert Downey Jr. still delivers the goods.

The pacing is way off and so is the supposedly climax of the film. A huge letdown. Marvel didn't do itself a favor by rushing the sequel so fast. I think another year or so would've done the franchise justice.

In so many ways Iron Man could've been to Marvel what Nolan's Batman is to DC a hit with the critics and fans alike. With this entry they dropped the ball. It's not the worst sequel - it's not FF 2 (that franchise stinks as a whole) but it isn't X2 either.

Jon Favereau is still the man to direct the franchise but Justin Theroux must stay away from it. By any stretch of the imagination he is no Mark Steven Johnson (who completely ruined Ghost Rider) but he just isn't ready or capable to write a screenplay for a Blockbuster of this magnitude.",6
"Action packed from beginning to end, Marvel Studios expands its cinematic universe yet again in Captain America: Civil War.

As the Avengers have stepped up to the plate, toe to toe against the forces that threaten our humble blue planet, public opinion of our heroes have been heavily tainted due to the high body count, and absolute destruction left in the wake of events that occurred in New York, Washington D.C, and the fictional country of Sokovia. Some hail the Avengers as the only group able to battle such enemies, but others believe that these events occurred because the Avengers allowed them to happen. Think about it for a second, if Thor never came to Earth, then neither would Loki. If Stark never invented the A.I Jarvis, then Ultron would never have been born. Captain America has been left in charge of the team for now, but the U.S government would like them to register their identities, and put themselves under their command. Although this entry lightly samples the massive 2006/07 Civil War crossover events, it does well on its own as the Marvel universe expands.

The plot is everything an action movie should be, with a few twists and turns in the road. It is of course as linear an event as you would expect, you know 'catch the bad guy,' as every superhero film goes, and it rehashes a few topics already touched on in the first Avengers film where you have the typical 'Hero Vs. Hero' situation that everyone seems to love. Yet the film does well in its intensity, and is never cartoonish or convoluted within the borders of the story-line. I didn't expect too much after seeing 'The Winter Soldier (2014), which I felt was probably one of the more boring entries from Marvel, but this film makes up for that slow movie, expands on it, and drives home quite a punch. This is the film that I felt closes the second phase of Marvel, and leaves it open for new additions for the next.

I found it difficult to put the focus on Captain America, because of the sheer volume of characters who star and interact with each other. It is a 'Captain America' branded film, but he shares the screen with several heroes throughout the film, and arguably this movie doesn't necessarily feel too focused on him. The major players all happen to pop in at some time (barring Thor and Hulk), but a few new faces have joined in the fray. Chris Evans does well reprising his role as the titular character. Robert Downey Jr, and Scarlett Johansson easily have as much screen time with the Captain (arguably more). Sebastian Stan returns as Bucky Barnes, and has certainly beefed up since his last incarnation as the Winter Soldier. A few new faces enter the fray as well. Chadwick Boseman as the Black Panther gets a poignant origin story here. Tom Holland, as the teenage Spiderman, is a welcome addition if you can ignore all other incarnations of the Webslinger (it fits better with the overall story if you do, and you don't won't have to shake your head at the gaping plot hole he provides). Finally, I was quite surprised at Daniel Bruhl's portrayal as the manipulative and intelligent Baron Zemo, and he was definitely the most human role in this entire film.

However, one small issue I had was with the motivations behind the main characters. I did have a hard time trying to figure out what the divide was between these friends, outside of Tony Stark's and the Captain's motivations to keep the planet safe at all costs. I didn't really get why Stark would feel the need to register all superheroes if the government ALREADY knows who each super-individual is, and where they are at all times. Wouldn't registration be irrelevant? Tony Stark is one person who should be AGAINST this idea. After all, he's seen the Chitauri army gifted to Loki via Thanos during the Battle of New York, and he's one of the few people who comprehend the magnitude of this threat that faces mankind from a galaxy away.

On the flipside; Why does Captain America, who's been a government agent from the very start of his adventure, oppose such a move from the U.S ? He's been a soldier in the American Army since World War II. If anything, he should be the one supporting registration, because he is already registered as a U.S infantryman. What's the difference if they are or not? It poses no threat to the Avengers, nor their members, nor the Winter Soldier. If he signed it, he could still go on after Bucky, and keep his allegiance in tact. An avid fan could easily argue these two roles should have been reversed from the comic book approach (where it made a lot more sense due to the sheer number of mutants and super-powered individuals, many of whom live in secret and have lives or families to protect. Cap goes against the government's plans for registration because he sees the act somewhat akin to what the Nazi's did to the Jewish people in WW2), but I'm certain they wanted to adhere to the original comic event somewhat without too many alterations.

The movie could have easily been called Captain America Vs Iron Man, and still do well as a set up to the future Civil War events. I suppose, Marvel Studios wants to plow ahead with its endgame before people lose interest by 2018. All in all, Civil War is an absolute action smash from beginning to end, and I think this will be noted as one of the more important entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.",8
"Just bad.I could only watch the movie on fast forward, as it has a lot of boring scenes. Its just suspense build on suspense build on even more suspense. I do not recommend the movie. Annabelle needs to go home and retire forever.",1
Pretty decent movie compared to most movies today. I just think it's funny how much Daniel Craig struggles with changing his accent for the movie.,6
"Every once in a while a tv show becomes The Show that everyone raves about -- this one is the current flavor of the month but why this is so is beyond comprehension. The holes in the plot are enormous, the acting (by some of the best in the business) is stilted, as if they're all trying so hard to remember their fake accent they can't do anything else); the direction is lazy and predictable; the writing comes from the Cliche School of TV. And if I were the state of PA, I would sue, because according to this show, everyone in the state is an alcoholic who cheats on their wives; every half an hour someone commits a terrible crime; every one is incapable of expressing any emotions outside of hate, and, weirdly, they're all terrible drivers. The only mystery here is why this show is so popular (and by the way, ""popular"" no longer means what it used to -- as much as this is a talked about show, it only got about 4 million viewers, which means that 99 percent of the country has never seen it).",3
"Not worth your time. All the hype for the film, didn't live up to it one bit! Scorsese has made some fantastic films, this isn't one of them. All this build up and the pay off isn't worth it at all. That's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back.",4
"I'm not a great fan of Stephen Chow's but I must say this one really made me change my mind.

Well, one can say Kung Fu (KF) is slapstick, or owe too much to CGI and special effects. What really captivated me were the characters in the movie. Most of them are outright weird but they are so uniquely comical and memorable in their own ways. From the shabby dwellers to the blind killers to the sloppy fight master.

The fight sequence easily rivals that of the matrix and Yuen Woo-Ping did it again! I'm totally immersed in this surreal imaginary world for the entire 90min. Worth every penny of the tickets but I did leave the cinema with a serious cough (for laughing too hard too much).",9
"Enola Holmes is a character created by the writer Nancy Springer, in 2006, on no occasion was it spoken of in the Sherlock Holmes novels of an alleged little sister named Enola. I found the film silly and lazy, they made Sherlock look less smart. why they do this, why?

Why are they ruining the movies and the stories we grew up with?",2
"Rank system i use is it can only be ONE movie that is the best and then get 10, to get a 9 it have to be something extraordinarily like Alien and so, a 5 is a ok movie nothing more nothing less its simple a mainstream movie.

"This is not a horrormovie as much as it is a survival drama with some sci-fi elements. There are very few scenes that are actually meant to be scary and when they are, they're just brief scenes in the middle of the day.",4
"""Forrest Gump"" is a great movie, although some people say it is ""the greatest ever made"" and Tom Hanks' performance is ""the best ever"", quite the contrary, though (actually, not THE contrary).

Forrest Gump is a quite remarkable film, but unfortunately, its cheesier than an extra-cheese pizza, and I found that Hanks' performance was a bit overboard, and the film is a bit silly.

""The Shawshank Redemption"", and ""Pulp Fiction"" were far better films, that lost to Forrest Gump. I found that that was quite bad. Sure, Forrest Gump is good, and fun, but it is nothing compared to Shawshank and Fiction. And Morgan Freeman, John Travolta, Nigel Hawthorne and others who gave remarkable performaces, but lost to Hanks' overblown one.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents, Forrest Gump's good, but has a lot of errors, while Shawshank and Fiction were better, and didn't have many errors.

"Having read the Deborah Harkness Trilogy, which was pure Magik, I was hopeful the series would capture at least half of that mystique and I'm thrilled to say it did, bringing the written page alive to my eyes!! Taut and energetic script combined with superlative direction making each episode feel like a short film! I was pleasantly surprised by how well Teresa embodied Diana and relished Malin & Tanya's understated, yet potent performances! A must watch for lovers of Fantasy!!",10
"It's touted to be a true story but it ain't. Alas, one hates to see artists one is impressed with stoop to a marketing ploy right in the movie itself but it's not my call. No Coen asked me what I thought about it while they were making the movie. At any rate Fargo itself is a joy. It's wonderful fun much like Raising Arizona. Each character is developed. They react with that character's actual reactions. They talk as that character would actually talk. Then there is the exquisite storytelling to behold. The story of a car salesman who married the rich boss's daughter and has been squelched in his father-in-law's shadow ever since. His father-in-law holds him in low esteem and never fails to hammer the point. But, one can see why. Our antihero is a sniveling shirker who takes no responsibility for his life and thinks no further ahead than yesterday. Instead of coming up with a real plan to improve his life he hires two goons to kidnap his wife so he can snag the ransom that her daddy would have to ante up. The best laid plans!",9
"When I bought this movie, I was expecting a chuckle or two and to see some pretty good fight scenes. This movie went beyond my expectations and has to be one of the best movies I have seen all year. The comedy had me laughing out loud, the fight scenes were jaw dropping and to top it all off it even had some touching emotional scenes as well. This movie has it all and it comes not from the United States, but rather the far east where they seem to keep making movies that I thoroughly enjoy. This movie has a gang known as the Axe gang terrorizing nearly every corner of the city save for the areas that are poor. That is until an aspiring man who wishes to join the gang literally brings the gang violence to this peaceful little slum town with its many colorful characters, which a few of the residents are kind of well versed in kung fu. We get to see this young man make several stupid mistakes and he seems sort of a klutz, but there also seems to be a hint of greater things. Assassines are sent to deal with those who fought the Axe gang and we get a very strange musical combo and a man who is so well versed in martial arts he is known as the ""Beast"". Great fights ensue, but as for the comedy the best part has to be Sing's (the man who wants to join the Axe gang) assassination attempt of the landlady of the poor town. So if you like Asian cinema and are in the mood for a movie that basically has a lot of laughs and action then this is definitely the one to check out.",10
"The series has great possibilities. The CGG are well done. There are two problems with the episodes so far and they are enormous. Firstly, the thought behind the scripts is fair at best; some things just don't make sense. The family doesn't 'pull' together as most families would if they were in crisis. The dad is continuously looking for where he fits in and the mom is so independent and upset at the husband and wife separation, that she has decided 'my way or the highway'. Secondly, it is everything a SJW has been looking for in today's society; no use going into it all as you can watch 2 episodes and see it all. It is NOT the way real people act. It is an idealized about how people should react to each other in a 'cutsie' kind of way in a totally PC universe. Stopped watching after 4 episodes.",4
"Ludo is kinda of movie in which you will find top notch twists and turns. Unexpectedly brilliant sequences, humour, romance, emotions, drama and sacrifices. In the starting it might feel a little overwhelming due to the complex narrative, but later on, everything makes sense. The entire plot makes you excited throughout the movie. The best part of the movie is the interconnected stories which was brilliantly shown. It not only beautifully mixes five different stories in to one but also takes the Indian cinema landscape's usual story telling to a whole new level. Totally loved the way they hyperlinked their lives and tragedies. There are moments wher you laugh really hard and there's also some moments where you feel the sacrifices, emotions and sob.

The cinematography is visually stunning and beyond Amazing. The entire album of the film is pure gold. Dialogues are written very well. Songs are uniquely addictive and infused situationally. The chemistry and bonding between characters of respective stories are brilliant, especially between Bittu (Bachchan) and that cute little girl with amazing skills Minni.

The cinematography, direction and plot are the essence the movie. All the actors played their characters flawlessly and the way there stories alinged with each other without one outshining the other is something appreciable.

Abhishek Bachchan and Rajkumar Rao deliver exceptional performances. Pankaj Tripathi is hilarious and once again impresses us with his acting skills.

I loved the most is the unconditional love shared by Aloo aka Alok to his pinky. He clearly defines the term loving, helping and being there for the ones you care, without any expectations in return. ""SOME RELATIONSHIPS DON'T HAVE ANY LOGIC, THEY HAVE MAGIC"".

Overall, I'd say it is definitely something you should not miss at any cost. It is really great to see bollywood reviving in terms of quality original script and soundtrack after a long time.

Kudos to Anurag Basu and team.",9
"I hate this show. Episodes have been recommended to me by ethics teachers, friends, family and the entire internet. Knowing every epsiode is different I've given each one a chance.

From Nosedive, to Ashley Too, to Shut Up and Dance, I've hated every single one. They are boring, predictable, drag on forever, pretentious, and the philosophical ideas presented are so basic you could show them to a bunch of preschoolers and they'd understand perfectly well. Most epsiodes come with a ""twist"" that you see coming from a mile away and is presented as way more dramatic than it really is.

I seriously cannot understand the hype over this. If anyone recommends this to me, I can't take any other recommendations they might have seriously ever again.",1

Personally, I enjoyed the 2,5 hours with (nearly) no message at all. I had to see the film as it is such a 'must know' in film history - but I was never a Tarantino fan with too much dialogue and way too much violence.

Of course, I understand that the dialogues are well sculpted, leaving out all boring bits and being deep, relatable and entertaining at the same time. The characters are not exactly like-able but feel relatable (which is a skill, too).

For me, personally, I did not find a lot of meaning in the film, no bigger picture or moral - not even too many riddles to solve (apart from ""what's in the suitcase...""). I found some interpretations stating that the movie is about ""redemption"" (things happening out of pure luck / coincidence; bullets missing targets, men running accidentally into each other, ... - which brings to the question ""What is fate?""). I like that idea a lot, but am not sure if Tarantino went that far himself.

I liked the concept of having a ripped story line where the audience has to puzzle the pieces together himself afterwards - I think it keeps the story interesting throughout the (intended) slow parts. In terms of 'how to tell a story' it is not an ordinary thing and helps to stay engaged.

Overall, visually speaking, the scenes and colors and picture style are very vibrant, dynamic and generate a fictional, americanized, lower society world that feels super relatable (the ordinary diner, ....).

My favorite part of the movie was the ""Jack Rabbit Slim's"" diner part with the extravagant set / decoration and concept.

I know there are a lot Tarantino fans out there for millions of reasons (and yes, the movie is made of skill and uniqueness!), but I would not watch it again, as I did not enjoy it as much as I am most likely 'supposed to'.",6
"So this was my favorite of the Marvel shows give or take, but still Eh at best.

I love the dynamic between Falcon and WS and I liked the idea of each of them trying to find their place in a post avengers world where everyone has gone their own way.

I liked the personal struggle that each character faced and I also like the anti-hero, the new cap, struggling with his inner issues as well.

I like the tribute to the black captain American and almost cried during it. I just wish he wasn't portrayed as cast out. It would have been nice if he has a good life even though he was never in the spotlight when he achieved all he did.

BUT I DID NOT LIKE that little 16 year old girl that could kick everyone's butt. Lol It is hilarious. She took me right out of the show completely. I feel like I need to give her some milk and cookies before she does her algebra homework. It was HILARIOUS watching her fight grown men and throw them around. Oh and I don't care about super solider blah blah blah, WS also is one and he should have caught her and sent her back to high school.

PLEASE MARVEL STOP FORCING BAD STORYTELLING AND CHARACTERS ON US. You are KILLING WHAT YOU BUILT.

You want to write strong female characters take notes from Wonder Woman, ALL the star wars females, Jessica Jones, tons of WELL WRITTEN FEMALE characters.

So far EVERY single marvel TV show has written CORNY FEMALE Villains that do not capture your attention for even one second.",3
"A nicely made movie, great graphics, good pacy script with convincing acting.",10

Kinda entertaining but full of flaws. Stupid at some point.,4
"While the first attempt at the remake of Spiderman itself was quite excellent, this movie does go even further and what one would normally think as being a huge task and something very difficult to achieve, has been fully done in this movie. Perhaps the only area where it was slightly disappointing is that the villain is actually a good guy and his tentacles supposedly control his brain which is somewhat unrealistic and looks tailor made to fit the story and situation. Even so, it must be mentioned that the same is relatively minor compared to the overall goodness of the movie. Action = 10/10, Cinematography = 10/10, Screenplay = 10/10, Acting = 10/10, Story = 8/10, Music and Sound Effects = 10/10.",10
"There is no reason why this movie should've seen the light of day. The script is overused and has no fresh ideas up its sleeves, the designs are reskins of every movie with the similar setting and most of the songs are just placeholders to reach the time limit for a movie to be shown in the theaters. Most of the musical beats don't move the story forward, its like watching a random MTV clip in the middle of the mediocre drama about a loser who succeeded for no reason at all. Apart from two good songs and one somewhat well-written character, this movie has nothing to offer for a viewer. Go see some other musicals, there are even some with Hugh Jackman in them. Sad and uninventive, if you don't have anything to say - stay silent.",5
"Nice directing , camera motion , animation , visual effects .. But The acting is not as good , Sandra bullock can not do solos , that's proved on this film . Great actor , no doubt in that but not a one girl show type , George Clooney is being the usual great and funny man , he wasn't acting though he was being himself that's all . The bottom line here is that : if you like to be amazed by high tech 3D stuff , and nice camera motion you are in for a treat . For me , I found the plot rather ridiculous , really it is a science fiction story that would creep the hell out of Isaac Asimov . It's pure nonsense to consider Space as a 1200 square mile big , where satellites are falling like domino ! For the characters they are so poorly drawn , Clooney's character has absolutely no depth , none .. Zip , even Sandra's character has very little depth that's poorly performed and written . So basically no acting and no story only fast paced action disaster movie with no solid plots that just happened in Outer space , only good directing and effects . This movie isn't remotely likely to make it to the classics wall . But that doesn't mean I regret watching it after all .",5
This is the best movie of the decade. The direction and cinematography is next level. The acting of the dog is also next level. And the movie hits different when u have a pet. U start loving it more. At last i would tell it is the best movie by rakshit Shetty after kirik party.,10
"The Dropout (2022)

Business scandals come from a variety of industries such as Banking, Automotive, Finance, Real Estate or literally anything imaginable. Sometimes they involve well known companies like Volkswagen or Facebook but occasionally, we get fresh start-ups like Theranos. With every article that I read and every YouTube video that I watched, I was simultaneously shocked by what this company was doing and at the same time, I couldn't help but be impressed by the illusion that was created.

The story revolves around Elizabeth Holmes, an ambitious girl who dropped out of Stanford to open her own company named Theranos. Her goal was to revolutionize the medical industry by developing a new way of testing blood and as you can imagine, it didn't go as planned. Nevertheless, that didn't stop our heroine from achieving her dream of becoming a famous entrepreneur. As with many biographical shows, there needs to be a degree of dramatization and here it is effectively used to add juiciness to the story without dissolving the core message.

My biggest question is why did they cast a nearly 40 year old woman to play a young girl? Admittedly, Amanda Seyfried did look the part and she brought a lot of charisma while giving a good performance. However, her mature look robbed us of the freshness, naivety and inexperience that comes with being a young entrepreneur. On the other hand, Naveen Andrews was excellent as Sunny and the rest of the cast did a fine job too.

In addition to being entertaining, the series presents a simple, yet interesting outlook on the state of modern economy where many invest into things that people don't fully understand. This in turn creates shareholder primacy whereby the company becomes preoccupied with satisfying those shareholders and everything else, including customers, becomes secondary. The fact that Theranos was a medical company makes it all the more tragic and worth watching.

"So, prior to this moment, Captain America was my absolute LEAST favorite superhero in the entire genre and in every conceivable medium. I thought of the protagonist as boring and two-dimensional at best. From the 40s? Silly shield? Strong, fast and very resilient was just -somehow- not enough for me.

Well; slap my mouth shut.

This movie won me way over. Chris Evans brings him right into 4D. The action -unlike the sickening majority of action flicks- is top notch AND followable! No shaky cameras and early, choppy cutaways; we get to see every delicious moment. And the storyline is solid and compelling.

The main character is portrayed by potentially the least famous person in the central cast and he totally carries the movie. It should be noted that only 4 years after CA:TWS, Robert Redford called it quits on his incredible acting career. Those of you who are unfamiliar with this filmagraphic icon should look him up. The fact that this script compelled his contribution should speak volumes.

Well Done.",9

"To be honest, i really tried to see what makes people rate this movie so high. Not just the movie fans, but it seems also critiques.

"Season One Review

I finally sat down to watch this show after literally everyone but me had watched it... so peer pressure strikes again.

I love Addams Family, and I was very cautious about going into this show, seeing as the focus is one just one, although one I generally like, but I think season 1 was pleasantly surprising, it went above and beyond. When a friend told me it was like Chilling Adventures of Sabrina I facepalmed, I didn't get along very well with that show at all, but thankfully I think it was nothing like that but instead far superior than Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

One of the things this show does is hit me with what I love most about media. Characters. I love good characters, this is one of those shows where character really trumps story. The story is fine and all if not a little predictable, but I absolutely loved the characters. Jenna Ortega as Wednesday is the best Wednesday since Christina Ricci, I might even say better. She really gives off a great deadpan expression. Emma Myers who plays Enid is just a treat, she is great, she has a charming way with expressions and emoting on camera, Enid and Wednesday's chemistry together is perfect I cannot keep my eyes off them.

Even the Addams Family themselves are all good, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán as Morticia and Gomez Addams are perfect, straight from the old cartoon iterations themselves.

Even some of the side characters are fun and they are for the most part not as boring as I would have thought, Joy Sunday as Bianca is a character I really enjoyed, she plays that high class snobby but also quite sympathetic character you can get behind as time goes on. Jamie McShane as the Shieff isn't half bad and has a few moments.

Everyone in this show has their own little quirks and identity and its enjoyable to watch.

As mentioned before the story is very hit and miss but it still hooks you in, its a detective/mystery plot for the most part and it does its part well but its the characters that really help drive that story along and I am completely okay with that.

The writing for the most part is fine, there are some lines of dialogue that make me roll my eyes, a bit too many buzzwords thrown in that will probably date this show in time, thankfully the great writing on the characters keeps everything well enough so you don't really care too much. That is the true strength of this shows quality.

There are few negatives about the show really. It does come across as a very X-Men school type of show. The dealing with outside prejudice, a school of misfits with powers, even though that is kind of played down a bit in this show. I do admit maybe the love interests of Wednesday and Enid are a bit bland at times but they still command a bit of interest. Additionally the whole love triangle trope is a bit eye rolling at times and plays like a young adult show. In fact the whole show at times feels more like a young adult fare than it does anything else.

Overall a awesome show, though not perfect delivers everything you would expect from a show based on Addams Family's Wednesday. Any show that can get me to smile this much throughout must be worth it. If you come in expecting a full on Addams Family show you might be disappointed, but if you liked Wednesday enough and the idea that she's grown up and in a boarding school, then you may find something of worth.

I certainly enjoyed season one for sure and look forward to season two.",8
"I watched the film with fairly high expectations based on the trailer and the hype around the movie and was only slightly disappointed.

The film takes elements from teen movies like Scream and others from The Conjuring, which is refreshing. There are some high-intensity scenes, only a few gory scenes and some more psychologizing and traumatic scenes involving the main characters, but the film struggles to find a clear path between these three styles and touches on everything.

On the good side, the lead actress is really good, special effects were perfect and made the movie look a lot more expensive than it actually is.

The ending is satisfying and calls for a sequel and I'm up for it!",7
"Thinking of the line in Sunset Boulevard that silent film actors ""had faces"" in place of dialogue, and marveling again at Spielberg's skill with eyes as instruments of revelation.

Sure, the actors are talented, trained, and tested. But a director sets the scene and creates a dynamic of discovery, and this director knows a thing or two thousand about summoning awe and amazement, insight and epiphany.

Mitzi (Michelle Williams) loses balance at a woodland crossing, eyes moving from fright to relief, then giddy warmth to loving affection, gazing upward at family friend Bennie (Seth Rogen), caught in his embrace. Later in the movie, while Burt (Paul Dano) solely views a snapshot in hand, his eyelids peel back from an initial glance, pinching at the corners, as he reacts to figures discerned in deep background. And when Sammy (Gabriel LaBelle) finds himself in some director's waiting room, bulbs behind irises turn on and white orbs spill light, as his inner lenses focus on a long line of one sheet wonders--not yet seen by the audience--shining bright.

Spielberg trusts that wordless moments resonate, letting setups play out, suspense build, and mystery envelop. He goes beyond himself in that scene with Sammy, concluding a reverie round of movie posters with a repeat reference to a film that shares The Fabelmans' triangle motif. He then breaks the spell, upon a hurried entry of the lipstick-smudged director in question, with a scratching cutoff of another picture's soundtrack recording--music from one of the most memorable opening shots in cinema, a portal moving from dark to light--signaling a trifecta of open doors: filmic, comic, and metaphoric.

The Fabelmans is filled with tripart imagery, evoking the film's interpersonal, conceptual, and formative themes: from triangular windowpanes to three bandits framed within the open legs of a sheriff in Sammy's Boy Scout western; from fulcrums under boards exploding sand in his war movie to the triad of camera, seagulls, and victims at the beach; from a tripod of sticks suspending a cauldron over a campfire to the seesaw rocking of Mitzi cradled from a bough. My favorite: Uncle Boris (Judd Hirsch) miming a perceived self-rending dichotomy of family and art, then thrusting a finger of fate--swish-panned past the center angle of assembled Fabelmans--at Sammy, who defies the dictum with a Superman stance, legs spread wide and arms triangulated via hands on hips and elbows out.

In Spielberg's hands films tell stories within a story. Consider the close encounters that punctuate this picture, interaction where the stakes are high: Sammy's dialogues with Mitzi, Burt, Uncle Boris, Bennie, his sister Reggie, his high school antagonist Logan. Note, as well, a low-angle shot of Sammy gazing at an office window, affirming a threshold moment. It's a figurative doffing of the hat to a certain professional--himself no stranger to letting eyes do the talking--who engaged a kid in a discussion of art and disclosed particulars of perception that were of a piece with the young man's own unrelenting attention to detail. See it as a salute to one picture maker from another, a fellow pilgrim on the way to the horizon that is the silver screen.",10
"Kangana's best performance. Awesome, such movies comes once in a decathlon, just watch and enjoy the simplicity After watching queen, felt relaxed and the songs, omg, the feel they would give would be like nothing Most of the movies will have entertainment factor till first half, then it would be damn boring in the second half, but queen aka kangana /\ You would never feel boring throughout the movie The queen is must watch, and it also presents the problem of Indian women in today's society in a simpler way and Delhi rave kudi too Just go and watch, hope you all enjoy and get the same feeling what i got. In the end, bravely she handles everything. Just loved the way Kangana had played the role. The movie also teaches that whatever you have, never give up on your dreams and if courage is there you can do anything",10
"Given the polarisation of opinion about Jojo Rabbit (2019), it would be so much easier not to write this review at all. However, it is incumbent on me to explain why this movie is one of the worst I have seen in years.

The trailer captures the narrative essence of this war comedy drama. Jojo (Roman Griffin Davis) is a ten-year old German boy who aspires to be a Nazi killing-machine but his Hitler Youth camp squad nickname him Rabbit because he runs away when ordered to kill one. When he finds Jewish teenager Elsa (Thomasin McKenzie) sheltered in the attic he has the chance to betray her in service of the Fuhrer, but his conscience comes into play.

This narrative arc is grounded in a predictable coming of age tale. A magical fantasy device frames the story wherein Jojo has an imaginary friend that only he can see, a campy goofball version of Adolf Hitler (Taika Waititi) who urges him to betray Elsa. With the Allied armies closing in, the German war effort enters its dying days and Jojo must confront Nazi lies.

Whether one thinks this film is a comedy or travesty is entirely subjective. Many will laugh at a puerile script delivered in gratingly mangled German accents with incongruous contemporary phrasing. Others may enjoy non-stop dead-pan exchanges, such as Elsa asking ""what am I?"", with Jojo answering ""a Jew"", to which Elsa replies ""Gesundheit"". Or when a female commandant (Rebel Wilson) tells Nazi girls it's a privilege to serve German soldiers: she has borne eighteen children already so ""it's a great time to be a girl"". Some will even think Jojo's cartoonish Hitler is a credibly funny representation of evil, perhaps unaware of the all-time satirical classic: the goose-stepping John Cleese and his ""don't mention the war"" skit. Where Cleese had surgical control of his mockery, Jojo's Hitler sprays cheap one-liners that are cringingly unfunny.

It is argued that half of today's generation know very little about Hitler, Nazism, and the Holocaust, so films like this potentially alert us to the dangers of extreme politics. Jojo Rabbit may have worked had it opted for clarity or gravity of purpose; its stellar cast make little difference. It is a mashup of so many genres that any meaningful message is lost, and all is sacrificed to low brow gags. Even the film's most serious moments struggle for respect under the shadow of slapstick, kitsch, and the vain attempt to use stand-up comedy to portray humanity's darkest time. With a climax that mocked my staying power, this film is, at best, original in conception but a misfire in execution.",2
"While 1917 may have its attributes, it has a serious problem. Although based on a true story, it deviates so much from the story that the film is more fiction than fact. As a combat veteran of two wars and a military historian, I find the deviations ridiculous and misleading. If viewers believe that the film is realistic reenactment of a battle during WWI, they are badly mistaken.

As the reviews stated, the story was about two soldiers who were ordered to send a message to a regimental commander whose Brigade was deep behind enemy lines and was about to lead his troops into an ambush that would have caused the loss of 1,600 men. The messengers were to tell the commander to call off the attack. One of the two messengers was the brother of an officer belonging to the endangered regiment.

In fact, there was only one messenger and he was not a brother of any of the attackers. Furthermore, the actual orders given to his company commander were,""Should the enemy counter-attack, go forward to meet him with fixed bayonets."" Nothing about calling off an attack. The messenger's task was to locate three other companies and pass on the order. That necessitated him traveling through no-mans land which at most was a mile deep.

As the film tells it, the Germans withdrew to set up a trap. In fact they withdrew to eliminate a large bulge in their lines. From Feb. 23 to April 5 of that year, the Germans were moving their troops to the Hindenburg Line. The Germans withdrew along a 27 mile front and caught the British completely by surprise. As a result, the British were very cautious in moving forward which negates the film storyline that the Brigade was isolated. In fact, the entire British line moved forward, not just one Brigade. The story of 1917 takes place on April 6 (which incidentally us the day the Americans entered the war.)

The first noticeable flaw in the film is that the messengers are told to proceed southeast to find the Brigade. That would have sent them behind their own lines. Because the messengers had to travel westerly through their own trenches to reach the point that they jumped off into no-mans land, they had to be at a point at the easterly end of the bulge in the German lines. So they had to travel in a northerly direction. Also, they figured it would take them at least a day to get to the Brigade so the Brigade had to be located a considerable distance from the front lines. The day was cloudy and there was no sun or landmarks to guide the messengers and that was compounded when nightfall fell. However, in the true story, the messenger was in fact, much closer to the missing companies.

Otherwise, the film realistically depicts the WWI battlefield conditions and it does the best job of depicting a man dying from a wound that I have seen in any film. But what keeps this film from being a best film is its failure to realistically depict the manuevers involved. It could have been told better.",6

The first half was good but second half it felt like the story was running . The show could had about 8 to 10 episodes of about 30 min . The main lead actor of Taza Khabar Mr . Bhuvan Bam acting was fabulous and writing of the characters of the show was fabulous. Overall the show was amazing and Fabulous 😍",8
"When people think of a parasite, they obviously associate it with a lesser living creature living off of its larger, more prosperous host. For example, fleas live on dogs and consume their blood.

According to society, which is constructed in a way that the most educated are burdened with defining the meaning of words, a parasite is a person who consumes resources off of another without returning anything. At least so it says, right?

Well, what if an economic recession hits and people lose their jobs and no longer have a way of making the money they need to in order to repay whoever it is they are working for? What if they experience an illness, injury, or health problem (in addition to that bad economic situation) which deems them unable to even work productively (at least for a while)? What if the ""host"" that the so-called ""parasite"" human is borrowing resources from is actually a ""bad person"" themselves who ""abuses"" them both emotionally, verbally, and physically in order to boost their ""egos"" to make themselves feel superior to the person they are ""helping""?....Is there actually a parasitic human, or are all people just human?

Take for instance someone who is born into poverty, physically or mental abuse, or both. Are they parasites just because of this? Things they had no control over? Just because they are poor? What if this person decides to not make excuses and gets a job, but a recession hits that causes them to lose their job? Were they not a parasite before but now after they lose their job, which they cannot help, they are now?

Perhaps most complexly, what if they people ""at the top"" are actually the ""Parasites""? (if there was one). Isn't it true that government workers and ""politicians"" live off of ""taxpayer money"" (aka taxpayer labor)? Isn't it true that a mega-rich corporate leader consumes the labor of their subordinates in order to make exponentially more money off of them?

Doesn't this luxurious CEO or executive ""suck the blood"" and ""life"" out of their workers by forcing them to work harder, work overtime, sometimes work 60 hours a week or more (with the threat they will be demoted or lose their jobs if they do not)? And isn't it true that due to increase production or productivity, the executive makes even more money on the backs of their employees? Furthermore, cannot the corporation hold onto the laborers' paychecks for at least 2 weeks in order to reinvest it in stocks before paying it out to those who earned it two weeks prior as they wait for their paychecks?

Many years ago, a very startling and eye opening book came out which actually compared corporations to psychopaths. All of the traits in an empirical psychopath are parallel to exactly how corporations are run, and also how corporate executives operate: they callously mistreat their employees, can care less about their health or well being as long as they are greedily and selfishly getting wealthier and growing. As a corporation becomes bigger, the dichotomy between caring for a small group of employees and eventually becoming indifferent to any humanity and well being of the individuals (which also includes the customers) becomes starker in contrast. All that matters is personal selfish gain in an overabundance unnecessary amount of riches, as their employees struggle to pay their bills each pay period and have to wait two weeks often times for their checks. If they lay people off or if the corporation downsizes or relocates, then the employees are back to barely getting by with no check.

So the question again must be asked: who ""really"" is the Parasite? Either there are none, or everyone is.",6

I would like to hurry recommend this week engaging thriller gripping screenplay and I never seen this type of thriller in Tamil cinema in recent times.

"I must say Chris Hemsworth was born to portray this role. His on-screen resilience and charisma fit so effectively with the protagonist. It was also refreshing to see him star in darker-themed movie with a very timely and relevant subject matter. The stunt were good, although I've seen better stunts in these kind of movies. The production design were superb and so believable and accurate, depicting the slums of India (or Bangladesh as shown in the film). The director really invested in focusing the spotlight on the protagonist and that was what made the movie so watchable. A definite rewatch for everyone.",7
"Great start to this movie. Reaching the halfway point it starts to labor like that little engine going up the mountain that ""thinks I can"" ...""think I can""...but by the time we enter the fourth quarter of this worn out thing you are looking for the exit.

So many better choices on Netflix so if that is the platform you are using to watch this keep going pass this one. Many of the one hour variety shows will deliver much more for your time investment.",3

The show is very different and demands a viewer to pay attention because the weirdness hides the mystery, which will blow people away at the end of the season. Marvel is showing a bold creative side and their faith in their fans. It will work best as a whole season, but no worries - the patience will be rewarded, so just enjoy.",9
"I couldn't wait to watch this film but boy was it disappointing. It was a fantastic idea and yes it looked great. However, the main problem for me was that the characters were drawn so poorly in conjunction with the visuals that I did not really care what happened to them. I loved Momento and The Dark Knight but the crucial difference is that I cared about Guy Pearce and Christian Bale. It may be perhaps that I do not rate De Caprio but I could care less about what his predicament was. I even tried watching it 3 times to see if I was missing anything but ended up getting annoyed. Visually stunning there is no doubt and an amazing concept but emotionally shallow.",6

They tried to make it so realistic and stuff. But thanks to it's realism some scenes are just way over the top. It looks like a Halloween version of the Godfather. Man in silly costumes fighting and trying to be bad-ass. Hilarious! Batman is a superhero! There is no need to make an realistic Movie about an Superhero! I like all the supernatural elements of the Comics and in this Movie they took them all away. Take Bales costume away and wipe Heath Ledger's Make-Up away and you have a somewhat boring Gangster-Movie. Leave the costumes and the Make-Up and you have a very boring Batman Movie. Please let Tim Burton do another Batman!",5

"I cant believe how highly this film and Johnny Depp are rated. I thought that Johnnny Depp as a pirate was about as believable as Tom and Jerry. He minced on to the screen looking like a young girl who was blacked up and given a false moustache and beard. His accent although better than Dick van Dykes effort in Mary Poppins was unconvincing, and the character was lame, effeminate and generally rather laughable.

Overall I enjoyed the series. Like most good sport shows, it focuses more on the players (or, in this case, the player) while the game merely serves as a backdrop to the main character's development. In that regard I think the attention to detail is truly commendable. All the games of chess in the series are games that could conceivably be played by actual Chess Grandmasters.

Additionally, the character of Beth Harmon is very well done. From the complex relationship she has to her mother, to her addictions, to her utter brilliance with regards to the game of Chess, Hamron proves to be an interesting, complex, and dynamic character.

The series is quite pretty to look at, and does an excellent job of making the chess games seem intense and interesting. I wasn't bored watching Harmon play.

Unfortunately I think the series falls a little short of the mark in regards to pacing and side characters. I can't say that I found any of the secondary characters outside of Harmon's mother to be terribly interesting. They either had little screen time to make much of an impression (despite the series implying that these characters were important) or simply weren't interesting to my eyes. Benny, for example, comes across as so over the top and tonally different from the rest of the show that it felt obnoxious to me. I'm not sure if he was supposed to be the ""careless sidekick"" type or what, but he doesn't get enough screen time to seem like anything more than an annoying chess player. Similarly, Jolene, for all the buildup she gets in the first few episodes of the series, sees almost no usage during the middle of the show.

The pacing is also a noticeable issue. Without spoiling anything, the events of ""Fork"" and ""Adjournment"" seem to drag on longer than they need to, and mostly serve as a way for the previously absent side characters to suddenly make an appearance, while they were nowhere to be found earlier. It's clearly meant to heighten the emotional impact of these episodes, but because these characters have been MIA for most of the show, that impact is lost.

The pacing issues don't kill the show, and I think it's absolutely worth a watch. It's just a shame that The Queen's Gambit bit off a little more than it could chew.",8
The title says it all. It's a complete no from me.,1
"Honestly, Civil War is like a huge roller coaster that gets you super high and never has a big drop. Entertaining, yes, but annoyingly predictable, absurdly convenient and cheesy as hell. Annoying shaky cam, annoying one liners, annoying forced jokes amid fights and no high stakes. No depth. No emotional weight. Just loop after loop after loop. In the end, it was fun but not challenging. Seriously, at some points I was actually calling things before they happened. And at this point I thought they had learned to stop making it seem like something's gonna happen and then they back pedal from it, like they're not willing to take risks in the story to make you go ""wow, I can't believe they went there."" And in the end all kinda falls flat, like all the development and tense build up lead to nothing big. It's just a puddle they drag through for a while and then they come out at the other side conveniently squeaky clean. I can't get emotionally invested anymore in these marvel movies.",6
"I love this genre and I love Goodfellas and Casino so I literally counted the days until The Irisman made its way to Netflix.

Understandably movies like Goodfellas, Casino and Once Upon a Time in America come around far and few so I understood the task at hand.

I could however never have imagined it to be this bad. I don't mind slow and lond,but then a movie needs to come to a spectacular climax. This movie is slow, no climax, no character development and no story.

The last point really disappointed me because telling good written stories is what Scorsese does.

Still have no idea what this movie was supposed to be about,and if that which I think it was then this movie should have lasted 30min",4
"Dunkirk has very weakly written script , it relies a lot on Visual effects and sounds especially . Story tries to hard to make sense , frankly speaking there is no story . It is like a documentary of enacting escape from Dunkirk , that's all . I think people are over rating it because of Nolan . I would have preferred any Jonathan Nolan script over this Christopher Nolan written Dunkirk . I would rate this movie 6/10 . That's my personal opinion .",7
"Underwhelming... from my perspective.

Not as ""edgy""... or entertaining, as The Boys.

Dunno if this one's gonna last. Not grabbing my interest.

The primary theme is ""youth"". Younger characters than ""The Boys""? Why?

No big ""whoop"" with that concept! And ""Muppets"" Are these producers serious?!

And the site requires ALL reviews to have at least ""FIVE HUNDRED"" characters!

I think that requirement is intended to keep ""one word"" reviews off the site, so as not to end up with a bunch of ""one word"" reviews such as, ""Sucks""; ""Don't bother"", ""Waste of time,"", or similar.

IMHO, ""adult"" characters are more interesting...and dangerous! They've had more time to develop and ""hone their skills""!",5
"This is a well written, well acted new take on an old theme. So why the low score?

Well it just doesn't work for me. The whole genius of the original books was that Holmes used scientific and analytical skills to solve crimes that the conventional methods of the time could not. He was an innovator, and his eccentricity of personality was evidence of his single minded determination to use any method to achieve his solutions.

Much of Holmes' personality stems from Conan-Doyle's experience of the medicine and forensic techniques of the time. Transposition into the modern era has lost this vital aspect to some extent. Whilst Martin Freeman has nailed the down to Earth, straightforward personality of Watson, Benedict Cumberbatch is far less successful as Holmes. But once you've seen Jeremy Brett do Holmes, no other actor, even one as talented as Cumberbatch, has much chance. Brett became Holmes and Holmes became Brett.

To summarize, this is a reasonable series, but Sherlock Holmes it is not.",3
"People had told me two things about this movie. First, that it was difficult to understand. It isn't. The plot is very simple and understandable. Second, that this was a great movie. It isn't. The plot is so understandable that it's boring. Almost everything in this movie is a rehash of science fiction themes that have come up over and over again.

It's somewhere around the year 2199. We know that because Morpheus (played - well played I concede - by Lawrence Fishburne) tells us. Machines have conquered humanity and taken over. OK. I can think of at least one original Star Trek episode and the entire series Battlestar Galactica that revolved around that. The whole thing takes place inside a series of computer programs. OK. The holodeck on the Starship Enterprise, or any number of movies about Virtual Reality spring to mind. One person (Neo, played by Keanu Reeves) will save the world. Hmmm. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home: ""Captain Kirk, you and your crew have saved this planet."" In short, there just isn't anything original in this story. How it makes it to #31 on the all time list (at the time of writing) is beyond me.

There are some good things in this movie. There must have been a massive special effects budget, because the special effects are superb. No argument there. But great special effects - and even some good performances by Fishburne and Reeves (and a drily humorous performance by Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith) don't make up for the basic weakness of this entirely unoriginal story.

2/10 - solely for the special effects.",2
"I usually love Quentin Tarantino films and was looking forward to this one...but left the theatre very disappointed. This film drags on and on for over two hours before finally giving the audience one scene at the end that is satisfying. Worse than being boring, the film is immensely bereft of the classic Tarantino dialogue that makes his films so special. In two hours and forty minutes I can only name one scene that was worthy of being repeated. Just a mess of fantasy that is not worth the time devoted to it in my opinion.",5
"Definately worth a watch! Yes it's a bit like a few other ""end of the world"" films, but then so are they! Don't listen to the know-alls, settle in and enjoy it for what it is.",7
"I just can't believe how this movie can have such a high rate, it's flat, boring, dull, painful for the ears, actor's bodies are heavy as a Hollywood mountain, the story is just inexistant, the framing and style is totally lacking of creativity. I guess some banks created this thing then have invaded medias and people's brains with advertisings, pathetic .",1
"I went into this film knowing nothing and expecting nothing...I suppose nothing was what I got back from it. Let me be straight, the performance of Daniel Day-Lewis was interesting, he's a very competent actor who delivers an insightful and passionate performance. The problem with this film is that nothing happens at all. There really isn't much of a plot to it and the ""twists and turns"" are hackneyed and can be seen a mile away. In essence, I would say the screenplay and writing are terrible and left me with a bad taste in my mouth.

I loved ""The Jungle"" and I haven't read Sinclair's book, Oil, upon which this was (hopefully loosely) based but this film is the kind of pseudo-intellectual tripe that pretends it is better than it really is. I was incredibly bored throughout the entire movie though two redeeming qualities come to mind: the Score and the Cinematography. The music in the movie was fantastic. I'm not one to often notice the score of a movie, but I was instantly captivated by the string orchestra. Likewise, the wide, panoramic shots of the Texas landscape was beautiful and awe-inspiring. For these reasons I gave it a 3; though these two alone cannot make a movie. If you don't have to pay for it like I didn't; consider giving it a shot, otherwise, stay away.",3
"Daredevil is a good loving series to me and most of fans,but we are tayerd of waiting season 3,,,,,why is not coming back?????",5
"The show does a lot of time jumping and therefore starting it with some knowledge of the story is an advantage. I found myself confused quite often- who is that? why is he there now? what time period are we in? As with many of these shows that carry a built in fan base, the reviews tend to be extreme. The Witcher is hardly a 1 or 2 but neither is it a 10. It was dragged out over 8 episodes and the final cliff hanger is a bit of an irritant because it should have happened around ep 5 not as the ending. Henry Cavill is the stand out performance making the Witcher a complete person as opposed to a one dimensional TV character. I do not get the comparisons to GOT at all beyond the dark ages as setting- and the unnecessary sex and nudity. Worth a watch but not all that.",7
"First two saesons had their ups and downs. But the third one looks like ""Comedy of Errors"", just not funny. If you think about starting it, think again. There are much better series than ""Umbrella Academy"".

While the Umbrella Academy has a compelling premise, the execution leaves much to be desired. The show seems to be trying too hard to be edgy and quirky, resulting in a jumbled mess of disjointed storylines and characters that lack depth.

The pacing is also a significant issue, with the narrative meandering and lacking focus. The plot frequently takes unnecessary detours that detract from the overall coherence of the series. Additionally, the characters are mostly one-dimensional, and the acting is underwhelming, failing to bring any emotional resonance to the events on screen.

The special effects and action scenes are impressive, but they are not enough to save the show from its flaws. Overall, the Umbrella Academy fails to live up to its potential as a creative and compelling superhero series. Its attempts at originality and quirkiness come off as forced and over-the-top, making it a less-than-stellar viewing experience.

Definately I do not recommend. I hope there will be no fourth season.",4
"Gravity is one of those movies you regret not seeing in the biggest theater possible. The way it looks, how the camera moves around, the angles they go with, the special effects, the whole visual package is just phenomenal to look at. Easily one of the most impressive films in a while when it comes to the whole ""moving pictures"" aspect.

Gravity keeps things simple and focuses on the essentials. It is meant to be an experience, rather than a statement of something profound. That doesn't mean there isn't a story or even a point to be found within it, but they are both secondary to the vision. Kind of like a Nirvana song. There are lyrics, but the music came first.

And what music, or visuals in this case, it is. Gravity steals your breath away from the very first scene, with a long establishing shot where the camera simple circles around the space station from one astronaut to another, without a single cut to be seen. Amazingly beautiful, which the rest of the movie easily keeps up until the very end. I'm also impressed how full they managed to make the space look. This could have simply been white human blobs floating against the darkness of vacuum, but through good angles and orbital location, they manage to make it look better than that.

The rest of the aspects work very well as well. The absence of sound in space is utilized well and the actors are all at the top of their game. Though, to be fair, whereas Sandra Bullock completely submerges herself into the role of Ryan Stone, giving a very impressive performance, with George Clooney I always saw only George Clooney in space. Still a good performance, though.

Gravity will pull you into an unforgettable journey and is one of the most ambitious and impressive scifi films to come out in years. Definitely worth checking out.",7
"We were supposed to use a film character and see how accurately they portrayed them as having a certain disorder in the DSM-V. This wasn't on the list of approved films but I went behind my teacher and used this film. I got a B on this paper. Anyways, this movie wasn't just focusing on the autism angle. They used the race angle more. It really does show perfectly how an autistic man deals with how people view him as an Indian Muslim post 9/11. It's beautiful.",10
"I had higher hopes for this picture, but unfortunately I was really disappointed. The actor who played the lead character was nothing less than exceptional. There were too many scenes that were too saccharine sweet and too many scenes that were over the top dramatic. Too many unconvincing scenes, and too many characters I found were just very unendearing, especially the mother. Hollywood also needs to start using more actors and actresses for age appropriate roles. There's way too many middle-aged actors and actresses being used as parents of little children, and it can just simply be a distraction. Use the grandparent and great-grandparents aged actors for grandparent and great-grandparent aged roles. That might seem like unnecessary criticism but it truly can be distracting and make a story less believable. Hopefully his next movie will be better. He is a remarkable, artistic, and highly talented and imaginary director.",5
I see 8 rating on imdb and i regret watching this film.,1
"Fun, action, humor, emotion, interesting, exciting...It checks all the boxes. You have to give props to Marvel/Disney for their casting choices. Absolutely no one is out of place (shame that hasn't transferred to Star Wars). One thing I've noticed more than ever going though the MCU films for the umpteenth time is Robert Downey Jr's acting. He really is just fantastic as Stark/Iron Man. I'd be perfectly happy if no one ever played the character again. This movie is what I expect a comic book film to be for the most part. I don't mind different takes on characters as that's the nature of comics but when I think about what I go into a comic book movie expecting, this film comes to mind.",9
"Been watching 3-4 episodes and they were quite rubbish. Spoke with a friend of mine who said that The Witcher is amazing and he said just keep watching, after episode 5 starts to get better. I'm at episode 7 and honestly I'm bored af, watched 3 episodes while I was on my phone.. I want my time back. Hopefully they cancel this garbage.",3

"When the character in the series playing there roles so correctly that we can feel the. Also the way directors directed the show is great. The editing team and story writers are also did there job great.

I will recommend you to watch it. It is one of the best show available across all the platforms and will give a different experience of cinema.

Great story Great cast Great direction Great editing And it forms stranger things.

More is that the way it's main character is eleven but still the show focuses more on other characters too which makes it to feel more realistic stories.

Again if u once clicked it so congratulations you will enjoy it the most.",9
"I was looking for something to watch that wasn't entirely reflective of the real world (too many cancer story plots making me sad).

I was hooked on this show after the first episode. It's great. I really enjoyed being whisked away to this world . Jenna ortega (Wednesday) played the role flawlessly. Her acting and tone really set the scenes. The storyline is very interesting with a few twists and turns and keeps rolling with the the theme of ""who is it"".

I enjoy Tim burton films in general and this felt like a longer tim burton films split into a series. The lighting and ""feel"" in the scenes just make me happy. Weirdly nostalgic to Tim's other work.

Overall yes :)",8
"Everyone built this movie up, telling me it was amazing. They made it sound like it was the best one ever made...but I was completely disappointed.

It's was long and stretched out, they had to put things in there that didn't have any business being in there, and in the end I just felt like it was a big ball of confusion.

I was very disappointed in this one and so was my husband. Infinity Wars was great LOVED it but this one wasn't great.",4
Save your time and money and go watch anything else. This film was absolutely ridiculous and dreadful. I don't know what film other people have been watching to rate this a good movie (maybe they mixed the film reels up) but what I saw was the worst film I ever had the displeasure of watching. Remember when your in the cinema deciding to watch this choose anything else as you will thank me.However one good part which earned its one point was George Clooney. Sandra Bullock films have gone from bad to worse with this being the absolute bottom of the pile. Want to watch a decent film in space rent Apollo 13 or absolutely anything as I have just wasted 2 hours of my life which I want back.,1
"Do you ever watch a scary movie and get angry with how dumb the characters are? If you do, don't watch this show because it will drive you nuts. There are some solid moments, but then it's quickly ruined by yet another poorly written ""plot twist"".

My other problem with this show is everything related to Dr. Smith. The bad acting, the amount of influence she has on the plot, the countless cheesy closeups of her looking ""evil"" but actually looking more like she's constipated....just...ugh. Remove or replace that character and maybe this show improves itself.

I usually don't give a show 10 chances to redeem itself, shame on me. A+ to the visual effects people though.",2
"A nice storyline, good acting. some reviews are absurd. This is not a bad movie at all.",8
"I watched this one so long ago, so i kinda dont remember much of it, it was good from what i remember, i would say worth a watch, and put it on your list of movies to watch. Oh and put it on the bucket list, again i dont remember it, its been a while. But, id say take the weekend and watch all three in a row.",6

"I did not find anything enjoyable n the first 30m. If you did, that is great! If you did not, run! This movie is tuly awefull. 1st grade stinker with a nice American flag on top.

This disclaimer consist of mandatory words to improve on its original message. I hope this additive serves it purpose of meeting the 600 characters minimum. Longing for a well deserved goodbye I must type on for only a short while. Have a great day! Love your neighbors. Well met and till we meet again.

That said, in need of words why not ignore everything what comes next as it serves zero purpose it is only to meet ends.",4
"I have no real memory of the last book although I read it and well the movie did me the same effect. Now three days after seeing it I barely remember it. So I guess it means the movie is faithful to the book...

I must admit it was pretty, beautiful landscapes (camping is fun, landscape, landscape, camping not so much fun, landscape, landscape, teenage angst, teenage angst...), gorgeous Grindelwald and cool effects with Snape at the beginning. I loved the Lovegood house. But Malfoy Manor was really disappointing.

My favorite part of the whole movie was the Tale of the Three brothers. I loved the animation and the style that was chosen to illustrate this story, it made a better impression on me like this than in the book.

At the end of the movie I was left with the impression that nothing had really happened but I wanted to see the next part because I recalled from the book that things happened next and I needed to see the end of it in a sense...

So not a bad movie in the sense it gave me the need to go see the next part.",5
"I remember watching the series premier of this show, being 11-years-old. I was completely enthralled by this story, its likable and relatable characters, how pretty its animation is, and the balance of action, comedy, and drama. It was the first linear television series, to my knowledge, that I've seen. I've never known of a children's show to have character development and such mature themes: politics, honor, redemption, history(even though it's fictional), and romance when appropriate. I'm 24-years-old, rewatching it for the first time. I genuinely laugh a few times during every episode. This show is better than I remember and I can't wait to finish it again. If you haven't seen it, you'd be doing yourself a favor, watching.",10
"in every scene there's always too much space between everything(quite literally)why? everything is so organised, choreographed and fake. on top of the crap cgi(everything had to be British based) the acting is so unreal. Ralph Fiennes from the way he looks to the way he talks is just dreadful to watch. just like watching a cheesy horror flick. i am a fan of the books, and i don't mind that it's got a different story, but still 200-250mil budget even i could have done a better job. this movie should have included the Dursleys departure scene. it was just so dramatic. why is Hermione dancing with harry? it doesn't make any sense. all in all, just a soulless movie, filled with crap special effects and the worst acting from all the films. if you seen it cinema don't buy it on DVD, its not worth it",4
"I have just completed watching the first series of 'Lost in Space"" 2018, watched all 10 episodes over a few days. This is meant to be a modernised version of an old story and I don't understand why it is being panned so much, it would have been utterly stupid to re-image the 1960's popcorn series as it was because it just does not fit today, the values, the political correctness ,the bigotry that existed in 1967 in the original series does not exist today and it is reflected in the writing and casting right down to the pack of Oreo's in the new Jupiter 2. The cast make the best of the scripts and the villain Dr. Smith is a twist on the original in that she is played excellently by Parker Posey as the narcissistic, manipulative women that will do anything to get what she wants and save her own hide which proves the saying ""women are the masters of sweet talk and lies"", you love to hate her but at the same time you feel sorry for her in that she has copped a raw deal in life and is only doing what she thinks to survive. She is actually like someone I know. Yes there is non stop disaster after disaster and the scientific know it all characters screw it up with bad decision making but even in real life, professionals screw up and don't get it right all the time...you only have to look to our politicians to see that. The show keeps moving and is not bogged down by drab scientific dialog, it's meant to be entertaining and escapist fun and many reviewers are taking it too seriously. It is 'science fiction"", some suspension of the disbelief is required to enjoy it, I mean were 'The James Bond movies"" panned this way where the hero James Bond gets such a bashing and pummeling from the villains that would put anyone in intensive care for months, yet be able to get up and strike his villains down like nothing happened and win the day...come on people, this is escapist fun like James Bond, treat it that way and turn your 'belief switch"" off. It is early days and the cast and writers are getting it together, don't go looking for a 1960's version of Lost in Space. I remember in 1987 when I first watched the new version of ""Star Trek - The Next Generation"", I at first panned it because I was expecting a 1960's reboot of Star Trek and I thought the Next Gen, had more corn in it than Corn Flakes but as the show developed from it's early days it morphed into one of the greatest science fiction series ever made, over shadowing the original because it was modern and different for the time and I grew to love it and still do. Lost in Space 2018 is a similar case, it is developing and has the potential to become a hip and modern series, give it a chance and stop being wet blankets people, because the time is now, it's modern and fit's with the times..we are not in 1967 anymore.",8
"Overall the series is good with realistic storylines, comedy and acting. Though the creators could have toned down the number of unacademy promotions as it makes the series look like just an ad for unacademy.",7
This is actually quite good for 15 mins. Creepy and expected another decen Wan(produced) movie. But it just wen no where...all I ask is that horror movies are just that..this is not scary. Gory. It's just plain dull,4
"Initially was going with a higher rating but well 7 probably sums it up. The series had great pieces typical to so many awesome series from TVF. They are always successful in creating a environment where the audience inevitably starts treating the characters as people they know and care about. However this particular time I felt that the creators flirted a bit with overconfidence w.r.t what they could get away with considering the large TVF fanbase. The promotional product placement went too far while the story itself felt immature and farther from reality. Eventually the series just under performed across most facets which is a shame because it was such an enticing setup for the viewers.

1 - 8 May 21.",7
"I accidentally stumbled on to ""A Discovery of Witches"" while desperately seeking a program containing imagination, decent plot development, and just enough mystery to keep me interested. I found those elements in this series. I found it deeply entertaining, and enjoyable.

There were, in my view just a couple of small negatives. I often felt restless with so many romantic interludes that seemed contrived, and inorganic to the plot. Additionally, for those of us who have not read the books, a bit more backstory interjection with the introduction of new plot elements would help viewers understand the more subtle nuances present in the story. However, I am sure most of the small wrinkles will get worked out in future seasons, (which I sincerely hope have more than 8 episodes.)",7
"First season was easily a 10 for me. I mean it really sucked me in, nearly in every way. Superheroes that were really terrible people, the gore, the humor, even the love story were all so well done to me. Then the 2nd season happened, and they bring in the Nazi superhero. Came out in 2020, so not sure how I'm surprised anymore, but still wanted to write this as the first season was just so incredible that I'd recommend anyone at least watch that. If you love all the social justice ""woke"" stuff, then you'll probably love season 2 and the start of 3 also.

I made it through season 2 I'll add, all of it. I watched the first episode of season 3 and saw they were sticking to the social justice thing so I stopped there. Also please know I have no issue with equality in hollywood or a diverse cast. Honestly to me its all about the story and characters anyway. This took an incredible season 1 with all of those things, along with a diverse cast, and threw it all into a blender for the sake of social justice movements. It completely took it away from the story.

Please please please stop making every single thing, even if it's about nature or something completely unrelated, and find a way to throw social movement topics into it. The shows and stories are being ruined by it all. There is room for some shows/movies to do this and that should happen, but not EVERYTHING. Anyway, enjoy season one anyone still reading!",4
"I've never liked Mendelsohn in a movie or so, but damnit was he enjoyable in this. The whole season is well directed and overall good acting. Would recommend for anyone wanting some dark genre.",8
First ep was great. From there it slowly devolved into a long comedown. I started using hard drugs to cope with the boredom while being subjected to this nonsense.,1
"Good as the cast is and even racing scenes, this movie doesn't have as good a script or heart of a story as Rush did. With a title that hints at comparison or even more competition for the story, it doesn't deliver that. It would have been better titled Shelby & Miles v. Ford.",6

"My review of Gravity

First off the good, visually it is stunning and some of the action sequences are truly jaw dropping, especially in 3D. The tension is also high, particularly at the start as the feces hits the proverbial fan. Sadly that is all it has going for it, whoever wrote the script needs shooting, some of the dialogue is utterly cringeworthy. One of my biggest problems with this movie is thus: If you are going to have one of the characters spend a long time alone don't have them talk to themselves every few seconds to explain to the viewer how they feel or what's going on, a good actor will show their thoughts and emotions through their body language and facial expressions. Unfortunately the writers for Gravity consider the actors to inept and the audience too stupid to have to pull this off and I'm insulted by that. You're also forcefed the obligatory 'emotional bit' near the end that was so painful to watch I wanted to get up and walk out. In conclusion I do not recommend this movie without being at least fairly inebriated.

5/10 (I gave an extra point for Sandra Bullock's legs which are impressive)",5
"My love for superhero movies has been encoded into me since I was about 5 with TMNT and X-Men cartoons. Back then it was all about seeing colorful characters fight one another for me and I couldn't wait to watch new episodes every week. I was 14 when Spider-Man 2 came out and the first time I saw this movie it melted my brain with how spectacular it was. It still captured the continuing adventures that made love superhero cartoons as a kid but what really blew me away were the human aspects.

Peter Parker trying to figure out who he was and what path he wanted to take in life resonated with me then and now in two totally different ways. But one this that hasn't changed for me is the awe I have for Doc Ock in this. There's a reason why he was the first big bad revealed in the No Way Home trailer; he's the best villain in Spider-Man cinematic history not because of the villainous acts he does but because of the human struggle he shows in the final act. While there are more flaws in this movie than I remembered (watching Peter relearn his powers really dragged with this rewatch) the main lesson that it has to tell is timeless.",8
This show is like The Twilight Zone on steroids. After every episode I feel really shaken up. There have been very few shows or movies that have had this kind of effect on me in recent years.,9
"Putting aside possible (or not) historic accuracies, and I guess about up to 98% of the events depicted here are imaginary, this movie a simple poetic view of the one small (but nevertheless significant) part of the WWII. Nothing more, but also nothing less. Some musicians being 30-odd years in professional business also undertake practice, and so does Mr. Nolan. This is just it. He could have made another Saving private Ryan, but he didn't. He just explored movie making possibilities combining three simultaneous ""stories"" from three different points of view and, also keeping in shape. I like this movie. It's a bit unusual, personal, full of beautiful details and bits, emotional, poetic. No, not a spectacle. If you expect such a thing (with everybody shouting, shooting, running, explosions, screams and the works), forget it. However, if you're in for some delightful cinematic experience, you're welcome to watch and enjoy. Also, mind the soundtrack by Mr. Zimmer, who is not so inspired so often. And the length of the movie is just about right, maybe one shot too much (at the end), but that's a director's editing choice.",7
Wanda wishes she had a vision. I won't be watching any more of these. Couldn't make it through the first episode. So sad. Great characters.,1
Daniel Craig totally miscast as a PI from the southern States distracted me. I turned it off before the end because it annoyed me so much. Great cast but nothing new in the storyline. A rich man dies and the beneficiers gather for their share. I have seen this in other films and dramas several times before.,1
I just couldn't get into the split personality stuff. I found the English version of the lead irritating. I've binged watched it while I'll so at least I didn't completely waste a day. I'm glad I'm done.,6
"There is no plot, it goes so slow that you wonder why you even watched this movie. And some scenes are so dark that you can't even see the scene in front of you. I don't understand how this movie was given a green light. It's someones idea of what ethics should be, but it does nothing to keep the audience in the loop. Only good thing is the main actors.",4
"In my opinion, survival films are among the most challenging films to pull off. Whether it feels dragged out or downright unbelievable in terms of what a human being can really handle, I've only really been blown away by a few of them. Alpha is among the latest in the survival film category and while it definitely is a movie that plays it safe, it's an effective little movie that I believe some audiences will eat up. That being said, there are a few cautionary aspects that I feel the need to warn about, so my thoughts on the movie as a whole aren't going to be entirely positive. Here's why Alpha deserves a little more attention than it's receiving, but also why certain audiences may be turned away upon first glance.

With trailers showcasing this film as an epic with great battle sequences over a year ago, to having the film pushed to almost a year later, to then releasing new trailers that display this film as a family adventure between a boy and his dog, this has been a roller coaster of marketing. Upon reflection of its trailers, I came to realize that not a single line of dialogue was spoken in most trailers and that's due to the fact that the film isn't in English. Despite the Sony-owned studio Columbia Pictures distributing it, there isn't a single line of English dialogue spoken throughout the course of the movie. This doesn't bother me, but it should come as a caution for those who are unaware.

In the end, this film ended up being a nice mixture of every trailer it put out, so I wasn't too surprised in a negative way. This movie follows a young man as he is thrust into hunting with his tribe and is mourned when he is thought to be dead. Left to survive on his own, he meets a wolf who has been separated from his/her pack. They slowly form a friendship that will lead to helping each other survive the harsh realities of life. There really isn't much more to the film than that. Whatever you may expect to happen from that description, will happen. This leads me to my biggest negative of the movie.

While it doesn't do anything to hurt the film as a whole, the fact that this movie is so streamlined from beginning to end, makes for an uninteresting viewing experience. I enjoyed watching the core character played very well by Kodi Smit-McPhee, but the movie itself doesn't allow him to reach his full potential. Just when you think he's in real danger, he escapes fairly easily and the movie goes from start to finish in a very breezy way and at a mere 97 minutes, it really doesn't have much to offer its audience than a feel-good story of a boy surviving on his own. I was hoping for a little more depth, but the movie itself was able to be effective enough to enjoy.

Overall, Alpha probably won't be in any discussions when people talk about their favourites of 2018, but there's nothing holding me back from saying that I had a good time at the movies either. The standout aspect of this film was easily the cinematography in my opinion. From time lapse's to beautiful shots of the sunset, to an editing style that only accentuated the filmmaker's visions, Alpha looks incredible. That's not something I was expecting, so I was kind of blown away at times. From films like The Book of Eli to movies like From Hell, director Albert Hughes sure knows how to compose a scene. Alpha is a solid little survival movie that I would recommend, but if you're looking for anything surprising, this movie sadly plays it a little too safe in that regard.",7
"Unfortunately, this is a movie that just didn't know where to go most of the time. We have an almost three hour movie that really feels longer and doesn't know where to go and when to stop.

First of all, let's talk about Heath Ledger's performance. The hype is absolutely justified. He lights up the screen with his performance and the film is delightful when he is on the screen. Part of the problem is that no other characters are equally as interesting and that includes Christian Bale as Batman. There is not all that much charisma in Christian Bale's characterization as Bruce Wayne and none of the other characters grab the screen the way Heath Ledger does, so the movie doesn't really give Heath Ledger much to play off of most of the time. Eric Roberts, almost unrecognizable probably due to the work that has been done on his face, has some acting moments in a minor role that cause a stir. I always liked him and wish I saw more of him.

Meanwhile, the film has so many twists and turns that do nothing more than confuse, I felt more like I was in a maze that I couldn't get out of rather than on a roller coaster ride. Just when I thought there might be a resolution to the film, yet another plot twist, a new discovery would occur. I found myself looking at my watch after about an hour and a half or so, and the movie was only half over! The first part of the film, that is to say, the first hour, was more character setup and that was far more interesting. The first part of the film relied more on dialogue and there was quite a bit of evident wit. But when the plot points started getting laid on thick and heavy, I got restless and continued to get more so. At film's end, I ended up thinking ""So what?"". I was glad to have seen Heath Ledger's performance, but not much more than that. I felt, other than for Ledger, the film wasted my time (and money).",4
Story of how 200 men died because a kid sneaked off to a bar. I don't think there's even that much police in Dhaka.,4
"Note: I have not watched past season 5, and I have no intention of watching further.

The viewers can relate to something about every character, and it's quite entertaining to have a laugh at the family while you're somewhat laughing at yourself. Season 5 appears to show that they are running low on material, so I stopped watching there before the series got too bad. I suggest watching through season 4 and then stopping.",6
"6.3 Rating is a generosity. Story was somewhat expected but I went for the effects. The 5 minutes of zoomed in action was surely not worth the trip.

Probably expectations were high coz of the 1st one.",3
"Having watched both seasons I can honestly say this is an utterly ridiculous story but with character and depth. But a fantastic spectacle. It is very unique, very different. The acting is fantastic. The characters... well I'd like to say I can empathise with their plight, but I am uncomfortable with what that means. It's kind up there with David Lynch levels of eccentricity, but in a format that is digestible and fun. This is definitely worth giving a go.",9
In short this is an overly hyped movie that brings nothing new to entertain and yet borrows heavily from an old movie that was just as bad at the time! Bullock plays a strong female lead so is quite unlikable whereas Malkovich is quite interesting but not used to his best. If you want a movie that leaves you feeling unsatisfied and not wanting more then this is the one unfortunately.,1
"First I have to say that I enjoy the show, but I must say that, from the beginning, I do not like Karen Page. Too much drama and I hated the fact that she got more and more involved in the show. Is all that drama needed?",6
"Nice movie , but mismatch of role and characters.,.... But good considering comparing with movies like indu, Laxmi....",9
"Watched this on first day of opening. I was holding really high hopes, based on Infinity war, and i was really dissapointed. This movie has some good parts, and im ok with the final result, but the journey there was bad and really messed up. In general the whole movie felt like the main story is a couple of actors (and here i really mean actors, not theirs fictional characters) saying goodbye to marvel and mcu. Infinity war, Thanos, infinity stones, fate of universe, etc, seems just like a minor side story. Very, very sad waste of 3 hours.",3
"I'm told the book on which this film is based is quite good. Having not read it, I had high expectations for this film based on the trailers and some good reviews. I was also anxious to see Jennifer Lawrence in this type of role. I was massively disappointed. The story starts off well enough. JL's character has her livelihood taken from her in an ""accident."" As she recovers, she's consoled by her shadowy, definitely connected uncle. But he has ulterior motives, and uses JL's fragile mother to convince JL to do a dirty job. This entire set up, in which we also meet Edgerton's U.S. secret agent trying to protect an asset, is quite good. But then it all just falls apart, and rather quickly. Too much time is spent depicting JL's time among fellow recruits in a strange ""school"" where the trainees are taught to manipulate targets using their sex appeal. By this point in the flick, little makes sense. What's worse, there's no emotional ties to any of the characters whatsoever. We never get a true sense of the stakes or what it is about these fictional people that drives their emotional state. By the time the final triple double cross is revealed, I'd lost interest long before. It's a shame, because Lawrence definitely showed potential for such a role, but sadly the script left her little to work with. Edgerton's character is also wasted, as is an all-too brief performance by Jeremy Irons. And save for one great, nail-biting fight scene, there's not much action to get excited about in this film, either. Filmmakers don't seem to understand that you can't just plop some theoretically interesting characters into a movie and expect people to relate to them without showing us WHY we can relate to them; character development is key, and this film is almost completely void of it. The only reason I gave it five stars was because Jennifer Lawrence is so completely and utterly gorgeous. Again, her acting here is good, but the script is not, so it's only natural that it's her beauty that ends up being the thing that resonates. And that's too bad.",5
Don't spend any money to this movie. Jennifer Lawrence is again garbage.... Waste of time.,1
"Disney should be ashamed for ripping off my ancestors life stories into this franchise.And why is Beyoncé(the ugly orc),and that smelly dork Seth Roger in this.But still Donald Glover so 2/10.",2
Wonderful adaptation of an engaging book. Fingers crossed they continue the series with the other two books in the trilogy,9
"Let me just; this just blew me away!

Had just read the Netflix short intro and thought ""well, another one with some kid mysteriously disappearing...yawn""

But then slow night when I couldn't sleep I gave it a shot, and I was soon sucked in to this weird story, and that it was actually about MK-ULTRA program in the 70-80's, and the acting from both the kids who are the centre protagonists and the adult actors is top notch. It's a complete flashback to the 80's, with all from music, cars and everything else. The main plot centres around a mysterious girl stumbling out of the woods in Indiana, dirty and with an abnormally short-shaved hair. She gets shelter at a family's home and it soon turns out she's seriously traumatized and some freaky mental powers not to be trifles with. Another small boy from the same town goes missing in the woods and cannot be found. Strangely acting people start turning up in the town under different disguises, asking questions, making seemingly ordinary electric installations around town. The search for the lost boy and who the girl really is falls upon a group of 3 young kids who makes stunning discoveries; something really dangerous lurks in the woods and the governement seems to be involved.

It's well worth the high ratings here, can't wait for a third season. A really good Netflix experience!",9
"The Batman films have always been a disappointment to me. Despite all the hype and the seemingly endless praise by other Batman fans, for me Batman Begins continues in the tradition of disappointing Batman films. And after watching two brilliant Spider-Man films, I can't quite understand why Hollywood can't give Batman the same treatment.

What I liked: 1. Christian Bale was the best of the Batmans to date, edging out Michael Keaton for that honor. Although I don't think Keaten's Batman was nearly as interesting of a character which I'd have to blame on the writers rather than the actor.

2. Seeing so many good actors in one film like Michael Kane, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, and Rutger Hauer.

What I disliked: 1. Action scenes were confusing and hard to follow. Too many close-ups and switching camera angles resulted in it being hard to tell what was going on at any one point in time. I can't appreciate a fight scene if they don't present it in a way that I can really watch.

2. Bruce Wayne is given a bunch of really neat toys, and immediately knows how to use them to perfection. Yes, I know he was trained as a fighter by Ducard, but this doesn't explain all of the abilities that Batman suddenly picks up once he gets the toys. Take for example the scene where he's driving on rooftops in the Batmobile. This was a little bit unbelievable. If they were going to show us how Bruce Wayne became Batman, they should have come up with a better way of explaining how he suddenly mastered the use of all of these tools. The way they portray it, any black belt could be Batman if they had the same toys.

3. Villains...too many of them, and none of them make any great impression. Scarecrow did not seem like that big of a threat once they were done with him. Zsasz amounted to zero. Ra's Al Ghul was beaten up in the first hour of the movie by Bruce Wayne. The only good villain that the Batman movies have ever had is the Joker from the original Batman.

4. Motives. These were a little weak. Al Ghul, Ducard, and Company wanted to destroy Gotham City because it was immoral. How many times has this storyline been recycled? The bad guy always wants to a) rule the world or b) destroy X location and kill millions. It's pretty hard to take them seriously when we, as the viewing audience, KNOW that their plot has no chance of succeeding from the moment it comes out of their mouth.

5. Bruce is trained by Ducard to face his fears and join their Shadow warriors or whatever. Then just as Bruce is ready to lead the ninjas, they suddenly inform him that he has to execute a guy first. 1 minute later the building is on fire and Bruce is trying to kill the guy who he was just about to go to work for. The whole plot twist was so abrupt that it just seemed to fall flat and didn't make a whole lot of sense.

Overall I'd say if you really like Batman that you'll either love or hate this film. It's a pretty ridiculous movie, but it can be entertaining if you don't expect much from it. If you are the type that tends to analyse a film too much, you won't like this one...because it's not exactly what I'd call a classic. I'd put it in Tier 2 of superhero movies under Spider-Man 1 & 2 and right over the horrible X-Men films.",4
"Now, here comes a thriller that will surprise you with its twists n turns and a highly unpredictable nature. May not be a box office success, but this one is surely a good watch.

The direction, the story, the camera work is great. But thing that stands out for me is acting. Great performances because good actors have been chosen for the movie. No lazy sons of yesteryear actors here.

Also, the songs are few, short and faithful to the film. However, there are few problems.

First half is perfect. But next 40 minutes are quite average and the film tends to drag but in the final stages, it again picks up and regains its form. Another problem is length. Shouldn't have been more than 1 hr 45 minutes but it was almost 40 minutes lengthier..

Anyways, it was a good watch and easily comparable to good Hollywood thrillers. Recommended.",8
"Though the hype it made when it hit theatres, became a disappointment when i watched.",5
"Selena Gomez's acting confuses me here. Some times she gets it right, and some times, it's like she doesn't know how she wants to convey herself. Is she a secret villain or someone that just doesn't have energy? In the first season, she was called ""shifty"" by Martin Short's character. He's incredibly right. Mable Mora is as confusing as it gets. Not mysteriously enticing.

The whole idea of one young girl being besties with two old dudes is cute, but after a while, it makes you think if it's realistic enough for these old men to have THAT much energy to be running around with so much murder and drama.

Speaking of, the first season ended in a dramatic way. And you mean to tell me someone wants to leave another dead body so early on in the season 2 to kick start the plot? It's too rushed! Too inconsistent! Too unreal.

Plus points though, I love their fashion and the interior is beautiful. It gave off the expensive vibes Gossip Girl reboot wished it could convey.",5
"Don't get me wrong some parts of this movie are hillarious. However theain bad guy was bad and the overall plot was a little all over the place. It's worth the watch... Not necessarily the cinema, better to wait until it's been released on DVD. O wish DC released all these movies before Justice league and then they could introduce them into the movies... DC seem to rush things for quick money. Nothing will ever as good as The Dark Knight trilogy or Man of Steel.",6
"Season 1 was superb and I don't need to say any more on that. I remember reading that due to the success if season 1, season 2 was going to have a shed load of money spent on it so I went into this expecting something extravagant and jaw dropping but it doesn't seem to be happening.

Although this show knocks spots off the CW's Wokefests such as Supergirl and The Flash, the producers of those shows at least take the trouble to show their characters doing stuff on screen that relates to their super powers. Supergirl flies, The Flash runs...

In this season of the Boys I don't think Homelander has actually flown yet. Yes we see him land and there was one 0.5 second shot where he flew across the a city sky. Freight Train cant run due to a heart condition (A convenient money saving plot line) and the creepy fish man has been interviewing potential victims to marry. There was some action at the end of episode 2 but for the most part this is just a moody drama.

I'm still looking forward to the rest with hope that something spectacular will happen. I'm writing this after watching episode 5. I gave it 7 out of 10 because I think the acting is good and the whole thing looks like an expensive movie but it is at the moment beginning to induce sleep.",7
"This movie was like a dul blade. Looks sharp till you try to cut something, then you have a mess.

The writing was horrible. Every character was a cliche. Everyone consumed with sex. The score was like from a 60's movie. The acting was what it was, goodish?

Basically just dull.",3
"I've heard that Netflix has spent 150 million dollar on this , and they have the right to do so , and it is clear where the money went .. The movie started with a lot of explosions and car crashes and an amazing visual effects .. but what so clearly the movie lacked is the strong plot, I mean gosh !! the movie is like two hours long yet it was a bit all over the place ,, has some weird unnecessary flashbacks and as i said it just focused on the explosions ..

Gotta admit though ,, they had a bit of Ryan Reynolds humor but over these long two hours it would look barely noticeable .. they could have just used it to their benefit and could have covered the holes in the story but guess it didn't work. ... Anyway ,, I've recently watched the trailer of ""Free Guy"" and I think it would give us the Reynolds image we love.

The other cast members were okay,, they were engaging, intense and at some points funny ,Manuel Garcia-Rulfo was really good with his spontaneous humor , and they did everything they could.,. but again the screenplay wasn't helpful.

As for the set, the movie was apparently shot in Dubai , the country name is Turgistan or something like that ,, people are speaking Turkish with Arabic letters all over ,, It was a bit confusing for me when they talk about Turgistan and you can see ""Aldar Headquarters building"" or ""Shiek Zaied Mosque"" ,, If you don't know these landmarks then you wouldn't have an issue with that.

So final say, it is a good Friday Netflix movie, it's not Bad,, but I wouldn't be sure that I would pay 8 dollars to watch it on the big screen,, I think that's why Netflix was the safest bet... so watch it on Netflix next weekend.",6

"When I sat in the theater waiting for the movie to start, I hardly expected a movie such as this. This grips you right from the start till end. The story is amazingly written with no un-tied or lose ends. The direction, screenplay and editing is just awesome with only things that needs to be shown to users. Over everything, what captures the movie screen is Vicky Kaushal's flawless and amazing acting, which makes this movie a must watch !!",10

"Batman Begins was a good yet bad movie.

First, Bruce doesn't become batman until more than half the movie. The beginning just told all about Batman's past, (that's why it's called Batman Begins.) The action scenes don't show any fighting. Either the picture is in the dark, or you just hear the people screaming.

Bruce Wayne fell into a whole in the ground at a young age, and bats flu into his face. This gave Bruce a fear of bats. When he got older, he wanted to overcome his fear, so he became Batman. I mean, that makes no sense! Well, I would give this move 6 out of 10 because the direction and filmography was good, but the writing was bad.",6

"Movies like these need more recognition!!

A perfect sequel to the original that was released in 2008. The return of Jack Black reprising his role as Po. Also the return of the Furious 5 which played a bigger role on this rollercoaster than the first! Angelina Jolie has pushed her character foward with her friendship with Po redeeming herself as a whole.

Lord Shen, the antagonist played by Oscar Winner Gary Oldman makes a great performance voicing the menacing peacock.

This focuses on the conflict of the past as Shen and Po have dark history.

As the moral message of the movie, its all about forgiving the past and accepting the present, giving chance for change to occur in others instead of fighting over something that cannot be changed.

John Powell and Hans Zimmer have nailed the soundtrack as expected making personal favourites (Zen Ball Master, Po Finds the Truth). Action Sequences made it all so satisfying as the fighting matched with the orchestea drums and beats.

Wish that the side characters got more lines as they felt very left out. Regocognition for James Hong, Lucy Liu, David Cross, Seth Rogen, Jackie Chan and Dustin Hoffman)

Humour wasn't as good as before but Jack Black's presence made up for it. Tone of red and black ressembled around Shen, surrounded by heated metal gave that strong theme of death making him as more intimidating.

Effort of the designers exploring China themselves to get inspiration of buildings and landscape was worth the time, made all the locations the characters visited feel like its a real place.

Key Quotes came in strong!

I love Natasha Lyonne so will give anything she is in a shot. I was a little hesitant at first because the reliving of the same day over and over stresses me out. As much as I love Bill Murray I can't handle grounds hogs day. This show is it's on unique take on that concept and done in such away that it's not as repetitive each episode builds upon itself a bit. It took me about two episodes to get into it but once I did I was hooked. I really appreciated that with the finale episode the series could potentially be wrapped up or continued with a new season.,9

There's a new character that doesn't really have any time to shine and is kinda corny & all of her scenes were just hard for me to enjoy. In general I think the dialogue is kinda weak and corny in this movie. This movie just didn't have enough character or heart for me & tried way too hard to be funny.

"I am going to say something heretical, so hold on to your seats. I thought that the Hannibal Lecter character in the movie ""Silence of the Lambs"" was extremely overrated. Subtle, he was NOT, that's for sure. Because of this, I really, really like the new incarnation of the doctor in this Bryan Fuller series. He is sophisticated, clever and, most importantly, a credible villain--not some bizarro dude going on about chianti and fava beans! In fact, the sophistication and style of this show is why I think it's a winner.

I must point out, however, that ""Hannibal"" is NOT a show for everyone. Children should NEVER watch it nor should people who are sensitive and would be upset or offended by the carnage in the shows. Some of them are REALLY tough to watch--such as the mushroom people or the angels. Now I am NOT saying don't watch it--but maybe you should use common sense and not watch. Or, do like my daughter does, just avert your eyes when the gore hits a particularly high level...and it often does!

Very well written, acted and directed--this is almost too good for network TV.

FYI--My daughter has the Blu-Ray for season one. According to her, some of the shows are MUCH more graphic on DVD--such as the one with the musical instrument killer.",9
"Johnny Depp was hilarious a Jack Sparrow, and acted like a true Pirate. His obsessive drinking antics, and his walk really brought out this chaqracter. Plus he made character we could all love and enjoy, that deserves an Oscar in my view.

Geoffrey Rush played Barbosa the bad guy. Who turned out to be quite a good bad guy in my view. He showed real potential, and I loved the way how he manipulated people.

Keira Knightley plays Elizabeth, the governor's daughter. Prisoner of the Pirates. She is quite momorable in this role, and is a great jump for her evergrowing popularity.

Orlando Bloom plays Will Turner. A simple blacksmith, who is also a well trained swordsman. Who is in hot pursuit of saving Elizabeth from the Pirates.

The more memorable thing about this though is the curse. A well thought out curse. That can always lead to sequel or a prequel. You'll see what I mean when you watch it.

The story is based on these Pirates who happen to be cursed, and they want to rid the curse. To do that they need the blood of a pirate, not just any pirate but the son of Bill Turner- William Turner. Mistaken for Bill Turner's child the pirates Capture Elizabeth, and take her hostage, while William teams up with a Rogue pirate, Jack Sparrow, who is on a streak for revenge against Barbosa. While all at the same time are being chased by the British fleet.

A great adventure. Well played swordfighting. Great laughs. Great music. And great story. Pirates are back in my good book.",6
"Fantastic show! The casting for Geralt, Yennifer and Jaskier were perfect, as was the translation/adaption of book to television. Cannot wait for the next season!",6
"Somebody should be inspecting that spy school, because the curriculum is severely flawed. Only two things seems to be taught: how to ""magically"" tell what people want, so they can be seduced into willingly divulging their secrets; how to hide things in such a way that anyone else who has taken the same training will be able to locate the hiding place immediately. (One thing they really need to be taught is that, when taking down an armed adversary, it's essential to make sure they stay down; don't just wound them so they're able to get back up and inflict worse damage on you and your compatriot.)

This is all very plot driven, rather than character driven, and the plot is very weak. Perhaps I wasn't giving this the attention it required -- as opposed to deserved -- but I struggled, as this progressed, to work out if R Sparrow was an agent, a double-agent or a triple-agent.

You'd be much better off watching a single episode of ""The Americans (2013)"" than this turkey.",1
"I grew up with the original ""Lost in Space"" series that aired between 1965 and 1968, and like most 8-12 year old boys I easily identified with the Will Robinson character, played by child star Billy Mummy. And like most boys of that generation, I desperately wanted to be Will. The reboot takes a lot of liberties and doesn't hold together as well, but once again the stand out character is Will Robinson, this time played by the very talented 12 year old Maxwell Jenkins. I still identify with the Will Robinson character, and I'd still like to be that kid, but now I kinda dig his mom too.

The Robinson family has been updated for modern era with a military dad who has been away on too many long deployments, and a strong mom who is recognized as one of the top aerospace engineers of her time. Of course that breeds parental conflict and the kids worry about divorce, but the challenges of being 'lost in space' force them to work as a team, which ultimately brings the parents back together. The buffoonery of the original Dr. Smith character has been dropped in favor of a purely evil woman who has secretly stowed away and is masquerading under the name Dr. Smith. The robot character, which was originally a helpful tag-a-long friend to Will is now big and vicious, and alternates between friendly and monstrously evil with the jarring abruptness of an old-school WWE wrestler shifting from babyface to heel.

Each of the ten episodes has multiple storylines that either conclude or cliff hang at the end of the hour, so character development is rushed to build the micro-stories, but it feels random and forced which hurts the season-long narrative. Lost in Space might have worked as a traditional television series, but the rushed storylines and haphazard character development fail in the Netflix environment where multiple episodes are consumed binge style.

I suppose I enjoyed the show enough to watch all ten episodes, but there are too many points where a viewer gets pulled in multiple directions to satisfy minor plot points at the expense of the grand narrative, which drags my overall rating of the series reboot to just below mediocre.

Oh, and the one thing I can't understand about Lost in Space and other fictional space-centric programs, is why the imagined typography of the future is so damn boring. It seems that in every futuristic film or TV series the designers ban the serif. I simply can't imagine a more wretched life than living in a world sans serif. Typography matters, damn it.",5
"I can see it now the action fanatics are going to come out of the wood work complaining about this movie. That's the main reason I liked it though. There was more emphasis on plot and character development than the first one.

People where complaining about Tobey Maguire's ability to play Spider-man. I how ever have to give him the nod. He is just like Peter Parker, a big dork. That's what attracts people to the Spider-man character, his human qualities. Qualities that are lacking in other super hero movies. It's kind of hard for me to relate to Batman, because Bruce Wayne is a rich business man with tons of money. I can't relate to that. I don't have tons of money!

I can relate to Peter Parker's struggles though. Trying to get through college. Trying to hold down a stable job. Trying to acquire enough money to not get evicted. Trying to get the girl. These are all things I have struggled with or are currently struggling with in my life. So you can really connect with the character of Peter Parker.

This movie was great with just a few flaws in my opinion. I pray that Sam Raimi and the rest of the cast stay together. Other wise I fear this movie may go the way of the Batman franchise. (Which will hopefully be redeemed.)

Overall: 8 out of 10",10
"The technicality is terrific. A visual treat from space with a sound department deserving an Oscar. Awesome cinematography that could take viewing to a new level with absolutely no cuts. Nice direction with just two lead characters throughout the entire film.

Seriously was shocked to be listed among the top Oscar nominees and could possibly bag many. It was because the movie story was a direct-lift from Castaway except for the fact that the protagonist is lost in space instead of an island. A very shallow script that no one could possibly discuss after viewing. Also the movie has too many sci errors like the oxygen levels in a suite (see it you'll understand).

Pros - Special Effects, sound, Camera-work. Cons - Predictable after the first 20 minutes, clichés and errors, hollow script.",7
Excited about the media hype my wife and I went to a friend's house to watch this. I love Sandra Bullock but her role in this movie was was beyond annoying. We kept waiting for the scary parts but instead we were forced to endure something that was actually kind of boring. I know most people will disagree but that's ok. I like my movies to deliver what was promised. This one totally disappointed.,3
"At the time of writing, this show has an average rating of 9.1, making it grossly over-rated compared to other TV series and Netflix shows. I would say a fair reflection of its quality compared to other international shows is 7.5 to 8 max. I've only given it 5 stars to lower the average but I would probably give it 8 as 7.5 is not an option!

I'm not very familiar with other Indian TV series but this seems to break new ground in a number of ways including its depiction of religion and sex. I enjoyed it but it never made me stay up all night binge watching as I have with numerous other TV series.

I watched over half of it in the default UK audio setting which is (dubbed) English and found the differences in the dubbing and subtitle translations to be amusing but also distracting. It was much better when I switched to the native Hindi dialogue with subtitles.",5
"So disappointing.. this movie is just silly, perhaps made solely for very young viewing only. Continuity was appalling for what use to be a high standard of movie making from the Marvel series. I think Sam Rami was a bad choice for directing this, it became Evil Dead meets Marvel Comic. To top it off, the sound was very low or off all together in the back of cinema at Event Cinemas, or it is a normal setting for the sound of this movie, if so, it's a massive flaw, my sound at home from my old amp and flat screen tv is better. I couldn't handle the silly boredom any longer, I left before the end I didn't care what was left or what was going to happen, which to be honest was totally predictable anyway. Only the second movie ever, that I needed to walk out of. Waste of money.",2
"#MCUrewatch. Captain America: The Winter Soldier really feels as a game changer within the MCU. After the huge success of Avengers, the subsequent two films (Iron Man 3 and Thor 2) kinda felt repetitive. The MCU was already feeling predictable in the early stages of Phase 2. But then came Captain America 2 (and followed by an even better film; Guardians of the Galaxy). What makes Cap 2 great is first of all the great work of the Russo brothers as directors. No wonder they became the go to directors for Marvel. How they stage action sequences is fantastic (especially the Fury assassination and the tense elevator scene). The film feels more like a very strong action thriller than a superhero film. Secondly, the Russos managed to make the somehow dull Steve Rogers and interesting character. Sure, he's still no charmer such as Tony Stark but his dilemma (a man out of time, struggling with themes as trust and following orders) is worked out quite well in this film. The overall feeling of paranoia (great casting of 70's paranoia film icon Redford) is present and feels makes for an unnerving feeling. For me, this is the moment the MCU became more than a bunch of generic superhero films. Job well done!",8
"The series began leaving me with a feeling of ambiguity. The sfx weren't awfully convincing right off the bat, but the story was intriguing and the characters were more than two dimensional (being portrayed by a capable cast). As the series progressed, I was glad to see good character development and a less predictable plot. It was a little unnerving to see certain secrets being revealed at the most inconvenient of times, but given how the original source material allows for such methods, it can be excused as remaining true to the original (be this the case). All in all it was simply a fun ride containing elements - such as powers - I very much enjoyed in my adolescent years (and quite frankly still do). I will be looking forward to further seasons in the future.

PS: Glad to see Robert Sheehan here. I've been a fan since ""Misfits"", so naturally, watching him in a similar role was fun.",8
"If not directed by Sophia Coppola, this movie would never have been heard of by any of us, this was pathetic, I can't believe this movie received ANY award, I love Bill Murray, but this movie was a joke, Best Actor? wtf, for what? did I see the same movie the Academy did? Most overrated movie of all time.

What's the point in making a very well-done CGI live animation if it will be a microwave heated version of the brilliant original one! I noticed Simba had no balls! I guess he got castrated... just like the new version of The Lion King.,3
"I was really disappointed with Argo and more importantly really surprised when it won an Oscar. Above all, the thing that bothered me the most was how by showing the pictures of the real characters and those in the movies, they sent a message to the audience that everything was very close to reality and carefully thought about, whilst this was not the case at all. Apart from the events in the movies that never happened in reality such as the bazaar and the airport scenes, there were many other things that came across really fake. The Iranian accent of most characters were fake (ex's: Sahar the housekeeper of the Canadians, and some of the revolutionaries). Most Iranian women in the movie were wearing the black chaadors, but at the time a lot of women were still not wearing these (especially not the chaador) at the time. And even the way they were wearing their chadors and acting like Ninjas was really unreal. Everything was just so so fake!!! Traffic in the streets at that time, really doubt it! Apart from these inaccuracies, the movies was really slow and missing intervals of ten minutes here and there would not really take much from the movie.",1
"You hate to think it isn't talent. Maybe it's not inherited, but talent anyway. Not just another spoiled Hollywood brat? Could that be? But then it is very good for your JC film project. Isn't it? It is apparent she has spent a lot of time in 5 star hotels, billion dollar offices and tourist shops. Maybe she should get out sometime and see a bit more of ""Asia"".

Well worth watching though. A better than good first try and with Bill Murray, well what can you say? With Scarlett Johansson, the off beat is apparently her style and with this and Pearl ?, well can she do it again?",5
"Bird box is worth a watch but is nothing to rave about. This movie is nothing new and at times quite predictable, you can see it's heavily influenced by the happening and a quiet place. Sandra Bullock carries this movie by giving an excellent performance with the material she was given. I think John Malkovich was kind of wasted in this movie, as he's an amazing actor but he's limited in what he had to work with. This movie is advertised as a horror but there weren't any scary or jumpy scenes, it's more of a post apocalyptic thriller.

This movie would have been better off made into a tv series, as they could have developed characters/story a lot better and not skip into the future missing plot points. This movie had the weirdest plot with regards to disability, it was as if the people who have some form of mental illness could walk around outside with their eyes open killing people, wheel spinning around in cars and doing evil acts. Why???? Just because they're mental?????? It's never explained.

There's many plot holes in this movie like how Sandra bullocks love interest Tom is built like Arnold Schwarzenegger, with I'm guessing no access to gym equipment and living on limited food for 5 years. And also what are the chances the two women would give birth at exactly the same time?????

Bird box is worth a watch but nothing to get excited about. If you want to watch an amazing post apocalyptic thriller which is suspenseful, with great acting and story telling, then I'd recommend 'a quiet place'.",5
"I enjoyed season one unlike most people however season two was complete trash the inhuman storyline took up way too much time it was forgettable, season three was awesome I enjoyed the hive story overall and Ward was great, I have not seen the rest of the seasons but i plan on at some point. The last season seemed dumb from what I know as it copies legends of tomorrow so I am a bit iffy on it",8
"I was so excited to see this movie. Love all the actors and was a big fan of many if Scorsese's other films. Unfortunately this 3 1/2 hour movie was and hour and a half longer than it needed to be. The whole Jimmy Hoffa Story is an interesting one, but Scorsese found a way to slow it to a painful crawl... where nothing really happens in the last half of the movie. Acting was pretty good, but too much dialog and extended non action scenes literally boarded me to the point of wanting to fast forward! To me this was just another Netflix Original Movie that was a huge bust.",3
"Over-acting by almost everyone, but specially the young lead and her love interest. This whole thing of actors talking to the camera and explaining what they are thinking is just so overdone. It was funny in Deadpool, but just that. Also over-complicated plot. Puzzles are fun, only when there is some sense in them and they are approachable. Whatever they've tried to do here is several times more complicated than a calculus class. I don't even know if it makes any sense. Unnecessary CGI. Much of this could have been done without any CGI. They basically threw all random movie making ideas into the movie. If this is in somehow empowering for woman, cause of the female lead case, then well that's a weak reason. It doesn't have any original thought and you don't get anything at the end.",2
"I am going to be so shocked if this isn't the biggest movie of the year. Barbie was fun, hilarious, while also being real, and heart wrenching. I found myself laughing and crying throughout the film. The movie is incredibly well done, and the entire cast was phenomenal. I highly encourage everyone to watch the film, it perfectly balanced real, current issues while remaining a really fun film.

Margot Robbie blew the role of Barbie out of the water, and Ryan Gosling as Ken was absolute perfection. Their interactions had me (and the theatre) absolutely dying. I can't wait to watch this movie over and over again!",10
"Strong point of view is shown, a great work, excellent performance by everyone and great direction.

Hope to see this kind of movie based on real life with extremely well point of view.",10
"I thoroughly hate all the Pirates of Caribbean movies because they make a mockery of the complete genre, by the sole performance of 'Captain Jack Sparrow' as ultimate sissy captain. Which pirate in his right mind would ever accept him as his captain? He is the ultimate anti-pirate, and an insult to the spirit of all pirate movies. Without him the movie would at least have some merit, although it still would be mediocre.

Rather watch Cutthroat Island with Geena Davis as female captain, she has more balls than Jack. Master and Commander is in a slightly different genre, but has a real captain on the reel. Or even better, watch the Horatio Hornblower series, where we see the development of an honorable midshipman into captain, in a fantastic historic period piece.

Still five stars for the decent production values and a bit of a story.",5
While it's definitely childish after watching it i found it hilariously funny its the origin story of what is probably the best anime ever. I had very mixed opinions from friends and from what I saw online and most say to not watch Dragonball and just start at DBZ but I totally disagree its a must watch for me.,9
"Once upon a time, i was also a fan of Srk. I saw Srk the actor in non mainstream movies like Chak de India, Billu barber and then mainstream movies like Don, om shanti om and RNBJ was awesome. But movies like Chennai express , Ra one , Don 2 i only saw SRK the bollywood superstar and not Srk the actor But rejoice Srk the actor is back in this movie. Pros Not even one song in this movie. It is unbelievable that director and Srk had such audacity for such blasphemy. Srk portrayal of Gaurav. Even though he is insane we feel so much for him.His wailing in jail was heart wrenching to see.The way Srk portrays a fan whose love turns into hatred is phenomenal.

Cons

The action scene,it felt something straight out of jason bourne movie.",9
"Firstly; this is a great show. The acting is great, the stories, the music, the effects. Yet it has one huge problem. Jeremy Brett was better. Those stories were better. That music was significantly better.

If you have no idea what I am on about, just ignore me. However, if you are a hardcore Holmes fan this show will be a disappointment. Not at all because it is bad (it isn't) but because in no way does any aspect of it triumph over what Granada did in the 80's.

Oh, and for us nerds: there are some absolutely ridiculous things said by the actors that just make me mad. The hero doesn't smoke but uses patches, and at one point claims to have a ""3 patch problem"". Barf.

Again: if you are a ""Holmes virgin"" - this is great. If you are a nerd, like me, you will not get a new favorite.",6
"Lost in Translation, by viewing the IMDb comments could just be summed up by this: You either love it or hate it. This film would like to think that it is smart, mature, deep and sexy but it is none of these. It's an immature film that has no substance, but it doesn't even have any style. For a film that nearly clocks in nearly 100 minutes, it feels much longer.

You could pinpoint this on the lack of plot and character development and the bland direction. The film is direction less and pointless. There was no point to this film, no moral to be told and the biggest insult this film makes is that it is targeted to a niche audience. But that does not make the film any better or mature in any way.

Lost In Translation, if viewed as a comedy, is just laughing at Japanese people. For a film which fan base always says that it is a film for 'mature' and 'developed' people, this is an insult on humanity. If it is not a comedy, then what is it? A drama where nothing happens? A picture of 'real life' that features some ungrateful rich people in one of the greatest cities in the world? I'm not saying that all movies have to be in a genre of film, what I'm saying is that films need a direction or purpose. This film has none.

I watch a lot of movies and have been writing reviews on this site for a while. According to a fan of this film, a typical 'hater' is someone who knows nothing in movies. Which sums up Lost In Translation perfectly: snotty and pretentious, a film which has nothing new to say or anything that would be passed off as knowledge. It's boring, dull, uninspired and lacks romance or chemistry.

Lost In Translation is about as interesting as looking at a canvas without paint on it, and is as much fun as being tipped into a bucket of nuclear active waste. Don't waste your time searching for depth in this film. You have more luck of finding an alien species of orange owls than discovering depth in this boring film.",1
How long does it take to make 8 episode seasons??? its so ridiculous waiting for this show! almost 2 years for 8 episodes....... idk if its worth it?,6
"Good, but not entirely satisfying.

New York, 1981. An owner of a heating oil supply company, Abel Morales (played by Oscar Isaac), has just struck a deal to buy an oil storage terminal. This will take his business to the next level. However, the contract to buy the terminal has a very strict timeline and provisions. To add to his worries, his trucks are being hijacked and the District Attorney is about to take him to court on felony charges...

Interesting and intriguing drama. Is a slow-burner, but is never dull.

However, for all the work that goes into building the intrigue and developing the plot, there are a few scenes which just don't gel and the ending does feel quite flat. There is no great profundity awaiting you at the end of it all.

Excellent performance by Oscar Isaac in the lead role. Then again, I don't think he is capable of a bad performance - surely an Academy award cannot be too far away? Good work too by Jessica Chastain as his wife, Albert Brooks as their lawyer and David Oyelowo as the DA.

Ultimately, while the plot is reasonably interesting, the performances carry the movie.",7

"Avatar had the potential of being transcendent, but falls well short of it. It had the opportunity of really getting inside the mind that is not just in harmony with nature, but co-creative with it. --Of getting an up-close-and-personal sense of a Gaia in all its magnificence. --Of contrasting all that with our relatively impoverished, modern consciousness. What we got instead was the tired old good guys against bad guys drama, dressed up with a lot of effects, special as they were. Even the indigenous culture, supposedly the nature people, partook of the same fight-against-the-other-guy mentality that our culture is trying to outgrow. There were no redeeming solutions offered. Most characters, colorful as they may have been, were just black and white caricatures. I really wish I could praise this one, but I just can't. Such a magnificent effort, and such a pity.",2
"It's a heist movie with a banal twist, placement rather than extraction. Forget Sigmund Freud and Lewis Carroll. Dreams are misconceived as just a version of reality with some CGI tricks and so we move through conceptual layers rather than anything that might reasonably be passed off as subconscious states. Any ambiguity about what is real and what is dream merely has us guessing about whether any of Nolan's crafted layers of so called consciousness actually matter at all beyond supplying opportunity for clever-clever editing sleight of hand gimmickry.

To See Cobb (Di Caprio) and Mal (Cotillard)poncing about in their mental construct with a hand wave that its ordinariness is due to their fondness for modernist architecture (serial reiterations of skyscrapers worthy of a Hanna-Barbera loop)puts paid to any claim that we are witnessing the like of surreality we visit in our sleep. Dreams in this film are nothing but different locations arrived at by means of taking a pill. We sure don't get to see Wonderland.

All this leads us to wonder about the entire premise which turns out to be nothing more than a bunch of corporate malarkey. Absorption into the plot rather depends on the audience buying into the elaborately technical internal logic about who has to be where and doing what in various levels of a subject's mind to perform the exercise at hand. That's your mission should you accept it.

So if you happen to swallow the director's pill at the outset then Nolan's fake world will draw you in -James Bond's Impossible Oceans Infinity. Take the pill that powers your critical judgment and for a couple of ours you'll find yourself staring at some overblown money drain that invites you to consider the deception that marketing and production gloss can pull off.",1

"Which side do you take in this star-studded cast? Before I answer that question, let's establish the ground rules. The political intrigue is very similar to Batman vs. Superman, and you can't really fault Civil War for coming out just a couple months later. Basically, after the opening action scene causes much destruction, the government wants to take over the wheel and pin some accountability and control over these meta humans. After montages of previous Avengers moments and some sob stories for personal reference, Tony Stark thinks for somebody besides himself and signs with the government. This is supposed to put a band-aid over the rift and still allow for safety; Steve Rogers disagrees. If they have to obey a superior officer to give the green light, it may be too late, he argues. And both have valid points and the rest of the superheroes take their sides.

That's the gist of it. And I mentioned the opening action sequence. Well, I kinda lied because first a flashback to how Bucky became the Winter Soldier was needed to create another divide in the heroes. I'm not sure if a simple flip-flop would work, you would probably need an additional scene before the transition, but to have a flashback and then an opening action scene is like you wanted to open the movie with one of them but needed both scenes and decided to simply put them back-to-back.

Now, the biggest flaw of the film is staring down all of us. Captain America: Civil War... Wait, so what point am I making? There's a dozen heroes or so in this film, but the title is still technically a Captain America movie. What this does is try balancing two aspects: a personal focus on Captain America, but also providing a broad stroke with all the Avengers. The result is slightly muddied and not as crisp as it should be. And the reason I may be being a little tough could be contributed to The Dark Knight Rises. I love that film; one aspect it couldn't control (although I thought Nolan handled it so well) was the fact that it had to follow The Dark Knight. Similarly, the previous installment The Winter Soldier is easily in my top 5 superhero films, possibly and probably top 3. It's smart, crisp, and full of terrific action. And Civil War hits most of the marks-- just not as many as the previous film and that's okay and understandable.

What the Captain America movies have always succeeded at the most in the hand-to-hand combat. This movie continues with those great fighting scenes. Before we get to the obvious showdown, I do still have stuff to complain about. With the Winter Soldier acting as a fugitive for large portions of the film, there's a couple chase scenes. And the movement of jumping from a building into a cartwheel to avoid impact doesn't look smooth; this continues when Black Panther is introduced and there's a big chase with cars in a tunnel. The movement isn't fluid-- this hearkens back to the sub-par CGI from the first Captain America movie.

Okay, okay, my heart isn't completely spattered with black ink spots. The showdown excels on every mark. This isn't nearly as dark and fatal as Batman v Superman, so the dialogue that ensues is full of pep and hilarity-- and yes, Spider-Man is one of the funniest along with Ant-Man. Of the newest additions to make their appearance, my favorite goes to Black Panther. His motivation is pretty typical, but I think he was handled really well and with an overall air of coolness and royalty. Additionally, Captain America's suit looks really good, and the way all the different superpowers clash is a blast to watch.

Behind the back-and-forth between our heroes, there's a story that keeps itself going, but again not to the same power and tenacity as Winter Soldier. And after the initial action, there was too much exposition afterward that lulled on. As I described the more light-hearted aspect of the fighting, I said that it helped that there wasn't really a fatality aspect involved. And this is absolutely true, but it also affects the climax briefly seen from the trailer. The grittiness of Dawn of Justice had more tension in wondering how far these characters might go, but with this film no matter how bloody a face might get, there wasn't really a concern that a major death would take place.



All in all, there's a couple scenes in the film that make the entire film more than worthy to watch. And it's a solid piece in its entirety, but there's still cracks in its framework that prevents it from being one of the best. It's been awhile since I've seen Age of Ultron, but if I were to compare it to that, I'd easily recommend this film more. It doesn't surpass Winter Soldier, but there's enough to hold its own-- and setup future installments for that matter. You can find this review and dozens of others at gillipediamoviereviews.blogspot.com",6
"I'm probably not the best review for you, but my wife and I only watched the first two episodes, and we just found it wasn't for us. I think we liked the premises of both episodes well enough. But they glorify sex and violence a little too much for us. Perhaps that's the point, and I can appreciate that. It is simply not for us.",4
"Firstly, what makes this such a stunning show is the nostalgia you get from 80s films is great. From ET to Ghostbusters, there are loads of references. Here is undeniable acting talent, from Winona Ryder's amazing scared performance of a mother trying to find her son. Also hands down best actor from Season 2 is Noah Schnapp ( Will Byers) played and amazing terrified character. He is played stunningly, you never know how he is going to react to something. Overall I would highly recommend Stranger Things!",9
"This was a powerful story: well plotted, with great characters throughout, and an amazing atmosphere created by haunting music and gorgeous cinematography. The mystery is a mature and commanding presence throughout that ties all the strings together as the climax reaches its peak and descends. This story makes you think and the characters demand empathy. Several twists and turns throughout took me by surprise and still the series retained it's integrity - not sacrificing story for a shock and awe and yet achieving it all the same.

I can't recommend this series strongly enough - give it a chance. I don't subscribe to any service that streams this, so I got it through the Interlibrary Loan program through my library and I'm so glad I did. It's a story that lingers with you after the impactful finale.",9

My mother and (her first cousin) Leah grew up near each other and had a very acrimonious relationship. This in large part because they were both classical pianists. So the legend goes.

"As the title suggests.

Visually, the film is unique in a good way. Even better than its sequel /2nd part of the series/. I'm not going to deny that because that would be stupid and ignorant. 10/10.

As for the plot - same old story we've seen a thousand times, masked in an audience-manipulating way, but done rather obviously and blandly.

The characters are flat and not developed interestingly. Oh, maybe I exaggerated. There are a few interesting supporting characters, but that's it. The main ones are a bore. We all know what's going to happen. ""Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse"" (2018) tries to be original, but succeeds only in its wonderful animation and gorgeous soundtrack.

That's it, I have nothing else to share, and I don't really care for this movie, and keep in mind I'm a big fan of the character.

Final score: 4/10.",4

"Let me set the record straight, Fan is not a conventional Bollywood movie, there is no lead actress and no songs in it, which might not be liked by many true Bollywood fanatic. But still one thing that drive this show of 2hrs 20 minutes is SRK. SRK simply owes the characters of both Gaurav and Aryan. He translated both the characters with such a perfection that you can't say that both of them are same person. Now coming to the movie, the first half is very believable and enjoyable. But there are some glitches in second half, some scenes looks little disconnected maybe because it's mainly about the Gaurav's revenge saga and there were too many action sequences going on. As a viewer i felt it be more interesting if, revenge saga was molded more toward psychological aspect rather than too much action. The action scenes are quite clean and well choreographed. So overall FAN is not a perfect film but still a very good movie which is worth watching. Some people are saying this is the best of SRK,I am not sure about it but still it is certainly one of the best from SRK in the past 6 years i.e after MNIK.",8
"Lawrence Fishburne mouths unintelligible, cryptic proverbs ... Keanu Reeves gapes back blankly, slackjawed. Bang, zoom ... the morphing computers, sensing a total absence of continuity, kick in.

"Started off great but then had its ups and downs.

Acting was very good but the episodes were a bit too lengthy, felt myself screaming at Clay to just get on with the tapes. I felt the 13 reasons were not strong enough for Hannah to make this horrible and morbid choice. Her experience represented what high school life is like, granted the last reasons were quite horrible but people do get through it. High school life often involves a number of things Hannah went through and her reasons were not strong enough.

I can see why this show has done well as its biggest fans would be high school teenagers or anyone below 18. They often feel the issues they face are life threatening and extremely dramatic before even having to leave the nest and stand on their own feet. Young adults +20 or so have a more mature outlook on life. This show played into teenage fantasies where kids can drink, smoke and give parents lame excuses that they readily accept. Some rich kids like Bryce can host big parties for a long period of time and kids can leave their homes and school at any time whenever they feel like. A bit unrealistic but it would have reasonated with many kids and voters on this site.

"The latest products from Marvel Studios have been some of their most unintentionally illuminating. WandaVision, their first Disney+ exclusive, showed us what sort of in-text behavior the Twitter stans will let slide (partly because the text in question does little to decry said behavior) when the themes/metaphors are somewhat poignant and, more importantly, the star of the show is really hot (which I can't dispute, since it's Elizabeth Olsen). The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, meanwhile, is the most relevant and revealing show they've ever made, for wholly unintended reasons.

In its attempted parallels to the geopolitics of today, it reveals how sloppy the MCU writers' sense of continuity will get when there's lucrative commentary to be made (reminding me of HBO's Watchmen, which sacrificed its believability as a sequel for the sake of topical allegorizing and petty jabs at its own IP), while also exposing how susceptible we've become to what streaming sites and Instagram feeds will tell us about who's good, who's bad, and what the past looks like -- including periods we're old enough to have experienced and should be familiar with. In its short run, it shows exactly what's gone wrong in the world of fandom, and the world at large.

First, let's talk about continuity versus trendy social commentary. Obviously, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier explores the aftermath of ""The Blip"", that moment in Avengers: Infinity War where Thanos erased half of all life on Earth, leading to five years of largely unseen disarray. The fact that this particular story takes place after any Avengers film is problematic enough, so we'll talk more about the Blip stuff later.

For one, the show implies that a black man, namely the new Captain America candidate Sam ""Falcon"" Wilson (Anthony Mackie), wearing the American colors is a touchy prospect, given the unfortunate history of the country (that is, in real life and not so much within the MCU, though they do add a neglected black war hero to the mix), and that even a global super-celebrity like him must endure cartoonish police racism until a different officer points out who he is. It's not just that this seems ignorant of in-universe history and the existence of figures like the Iron Patriot; it's that this ignorance rubs off on the audience, effectively getting THEM to ignore OUR universe.

Said fanboys will praise the show for ""finally"" giving us a piece of superhero media led by a person of color. It's bad enough to be unaware that today's comic-book cinema largely owes its existence to Blade (1998), but have they already forgotten Black Panther (2018) from this same canon? What about the fact that Wilson has financial struggles (which also doesn't seem wholly believable in the established timeline) and how this makes him more relatable than any other Marvel hero? Really, guys? I know there are too many Spider-Men to keep track of but surely we know better than to swallow this stuff uncritically?

This lack of critical thinking is, in a nutshell, what's so fascinating about the response to TFATWS. Through very deliberate music choices, framing, and other shortcuts, the show makes it very clear we're supposed to ultimately admire the plight of the Flag Smashers -- a globalist, AntiFa-looking bunch of supersoldiers (apparently Erskine's serum wasn't all that tricky to replicate) who wish to return to the borderless ""utopia"" of The Blip -- while the new Captain America replacement John Walker (Wyatt Russell of Black Mirror), who's trying to stop them, is clearly a dick.

But really, if you actually LOOK at the text, the worst thing Walker does isn't much more horrifying than the routine acts of the Flag Smashers or their leader Karli (Erin Kellyman). HER actions are meant to seem somewhat pardonable, as she's fighting against fascist government, the mistreatment of refugees, and I guess nationalism. Does that reading make sense if you actually analyze the sequence of events and what the character is objectively guilty of? Not especially, no.

Still, the music and imagery insist we shall loathe entitled-white-guy John Walker and simply deem Karli to be a tragic, if misguided revolutionary, her actions rarely being framed as gruesomely as Walker's big kill (if ever). Thus, that's what the Twitter stans are rolling with, albeit disagreeing with the ""misguided"" part -- even this faintly negative attribute gets lost in the glorified presentation. (In other circles, this intent has clearly backfired, à la the New Guy meme and the supposedly-piggish Don from Captain Marvel, as Walker's being hailed as a wholesome good guy.)

And to be honest with you, in the show's treatment of politics and activism, it seems like the opposite has happened: that the tweenagers and Twitter stans influenced the art, not the other way around. The commentary in this show is so naive, so bereft of real answers, and so proud of this fact (The Falcon declares it might be a good thing that he doesn't understand the complexities of why politicians can't just ""open all the borders"" or ""print more money"" or whatever) that it feels like a teenager who just learned one or two buzzwords wrote it. People who hate the series might think I'm stupid for agreeing that Karli is a realistic, believable figure, but I absolutely feel like someone like her would write The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and then insert herself into it kinda like this. I'm surprised she doesn't wind up making out with Bucky Barnes wearing tighty-whities.

The show isn't even really saying ""AntiFa activists aren't terrorists, you guys"". It expressly rejects the label, yes, but we've already talked about why its intended message doesn't match its actual text or plot. Functionally, it is instead saying: ""AntiFa ARE terrorists but here's why that's good"". Whether our political youngsters have influenced the writing or Marvel is just pandering to them (by neither understanding their own world nor ours very well), TFATWS is indeed a product of the times.

Was there anything I liked? Well, I do like Mackie as an actor and person, even if The Falcon was arguably done dirty here (there's a scene where he rejects black identitarianism, which I initially appreciated, but this turned out to be a part of an arc where he eventually ""knows better""). I enjoy his banter with Sebastian Stan as Bucky/The Winter Soldier, seeing the Dora Milaje was fun although their inclusion made little sense (given what we know of Wakanda), and Baron Zemo (Daniel Brühl) is still one of the better MCU antagonists, even if he's more cartoony here than in Captain America: Civil War -- the groundedness of which I now admire all the more. Watch that one instead tonight, or switch to Prime for some Invincible.",4
"This movie is for intellectual, ethical and for honest people and for those who really wants this country should be transformed into best place, ultimately the world, then must watch. This movie is certainly not for below thought people, ""Marx held that politics is determined by economics, but that was because he was still under the influence of eighteenth-century rationalism, and imagined that what people most desire is to grow rich. Experience since his time has shown that there is something which people desire even more strongly, and that is to keep others poor.""

"I was very sceptical about this show, but believe me, once you start watching it, you just can't stop. It had got me on the edge from episode 1 to 13. You connect with the main character, you feel her struggle, you feel everything..",9
"As great as it is to have a brand new character in the MCU, this show, or at least the first episode, was a miss. Like other reviews state, I was expecting a darker, grittier take on the MCU, like Daredevil, Punisher, or Jessica Jones. However, I felt that the first episode replicated the same style as Capt. And the Winter Soldier and Hawkeye. Endless comedic relief, non-compelling storylines, forgettable villains, and borderline horrendous CGI. Like, probably some of the worst I've seen in any Marvel property.

I'm holding out for future episodes to redeem this one, but I'm afraid it is too late. Disney and Marvel have fallen into yet another cycle of pumping out the same stuff, different characters.

Overall, I would not recommend watching this to anyone looking for a new viewing experience. It is not Daredevil. Indeed it is nowhere remotely close, and I fear nothing will ever come close to replicating that experience.

6/10* for being a new concept, and I like Oscar Isaac.",6
"The movie started out with some great action and fun graphics but it later on became a nightmare. The story starts with introducing the OASIS as a world were you can do anything you want and you can live a life that is far away from reality, because reality- according to the citizens of the dystopian era the movie takes place in- really stinks. After a good ten or tweny minutes into the movie, the story starts to fall short. Main character meets this ugly,-and I mean ugly!- avatar with porcupine hair and a reptillian facial structure, not to mention that she is a total ice cube and a bit mean; for some strange reason he falls in love with her and she pushes him away. He meets her real persona- who may I add is actually cute- they embark on these crazy adventures together along with a few other people so that they can dominate the OASIS and save it from total destruction because a bad guy wants to destroy it or use it for his purposes (frankly I forget). There are other scenes like the visit to the nightclub and the extremely creepy Shining movie set that both contributed to me hating this movie!

At the end girl loves boy, boy loves girl and they all live strangely ever after!

Thus said, I can't recommend this movie at all, it is one of the worst science fiction/dystopian movies I have ever seen.",3
"One of the best series after lost and got...we want these kinda shows Great, fascinating, seductive... awesome! Patently.",9
"It's a great show, partially due to a rich source material but also because of the actors, filming and production - it's all done just right, with enough dirt, blood, violence, sarcasm and action. Some minor plot sequences are questionable, but the general story is tied together very well.",9
"At first I was amazed by the visuals in Avatar. It is beautiful, but that plot is lacking. I was a bit disappointed with the fact that, while the movie looks very good, the plot is bland and clichéd. The target audience is obviously teenagers, this movie looks like it was made for children because of the beautiful visuals and easy to follow plot, but it really isn't because of the violence and language.

If you're wondering, the basic plot for James Cameron's Avatar and Disney's Pocahontas is very similar. Almost too similar.

The writing is not stunning, there are no lines in the movie that were great. The acting was fine, but not overwhelming. I'm not going to pretend I know much of anything about cinematography or anything like that.

I am in awe that it has made so much money. The storyline is lame and it feels like you are been lectured to for 160 minutes about the environment. Which reminds me it is about 40 minutes too long.

In summary: This movie is visually spectacular and intellectually boring.",3
"Ok so the show sweeps you in with its cool camera work, great visuals, good soundtracks and cool sets.

That's the only reason the show was bare able. Where the show fails is its capability of creating likeable characters and any decent storyline. The characters consistently make stupid decision after stupid decision, the writing and Story line is terrible. Essentially the story revolves around a sibling making a stupid decision and decides to go off and do their own thing, get hurt, cry, then go back to the family for another sibling to run off and do the same thing... REPEAT! Trust me I watched both seasons mainly laughing and expecting something big to happen to justify all the good reviews but I just don't have any idea why this show gets good reviews. Shame because it had so much potential.",5
"If the protagonist was unattractive, the film would be labeled ""Crime Thriller"" rather than ""Romantic Thriller."" Attractive or not, it should be labeled as a crime thriller for obvious reasons. The film is about a Program Executive (SRK) who relentlessly stalks a woman whom he doesn't even know her name until MUCH later in the film. Did I mention that before he knows her name, he tells her he LOVE HER in less than 24 hours??? So lover boy stalks her relentlessly whilst being rebuffed by this woman. Calls her a ""tease"" and ""easy"" despite she wants nothing to do with him. No matter how many times she rebuffs him, ditches him, even going as far as saying that she's married, he still pursued her relentlessly. I guess the director thought that she was a terrorist excused the protagonist's unhealthy obsession with her. The only redeeming factors is the music in the film. This film portrays an Ridiculously unhealthy and dangerous message to the audience especially the gullible. If I were to show this to my daughter, it would be to teach her what a man should NOT do when he is interested in her.",3
With all the excellent reviews I was expecting an amazing movie but it was one of the worst marvel films. The cgi was good but the plot was terrible and way too predictable!,3
"It's an irony that a 'love letter to cinema' could be so aggressively tedious that it makes you curse yourself for going. After the flat whimsy of the first ten minutes I knew the film would not have a single interesting scene - I was wrong, but it only comes at the very end. I won't spoil who turns up to play a famous director, but his work is the polar opposite of this gruelling stretch of nothing.

I'm actually angry writing this, having wasted 2 and a half hours of my life sitting through such a self-indulgent meta-bore. It's the very worst kind of award-chasing 'prestige picture'. For a director whose career has been made by entertaining an audience, how could he think this story worth telling? By far the worst film of his that I have seen.",2
"The season three of The Umbrella Academy kicked off with a wide range of expectations and has put off the audience who had expected more action and less drama.

What we get out of this season is, filler sequences, filler sequences, rarely a melee action and some random moments of satisfaction.

Had each episode been a twenty something minutes of a roller coaster ride, the audience would have applauded it. Rather, the 45 minute average runtime has forced to consist spams.

At moments, we might even start hating the characters that we once loved and when we the season concludes, we might be done with the series as well.

*Proceeds to re-watch the first two seasons as tribute.",5
The worst storyline any movie can have. Watch only for the amazing action sequences.,6
"Just because every one says it's great doesn't mean it's good. Attack on titan has general anime flaws that prevent it from beaning a masterpiece that everyone thinks it is.

The main problem is that Attack on titan feels like 2 movies chopped up into 25 episodes. Most episodes don't stand up on their own because it feels like your just watching a random chunk out of a movie which results in the episodes feeling out of context.

Character wise, Attack on titan only develops the main characters. Everyone else is bland and forgettable.

This Anime isn't all bad however. Attack on titan is good at building tension. it's about the same level of tension as shown in the hunger games movies. Attack on titan also has very little fan- service moments which makes it less pandering and unwatchable.

Attack on titan is generally good but it's very forgettable.",7
"Seriously. What a joke. The Oscars have never been by far any sort of guidance for me, but I can't help feeling curious about the movies they award. This is probably the most irrational one of all time.

I can't agree with ANY of the aspects awarded by the Academy, it's a seriously flawed movie, with a very weak script and dialogs, average performances (when not lousy), mediocre cinematography and repetitive cheap humour.

The story tries to be complex but it's just messy. I understand what's going on and what it wants to say, but its choppy editing and frenetic pace is just unenjoyable and uninteresting. I literally fell asleep in the cinema, and thought of walking out at least twice but stayed to the end to really see if there was any redeeming value in it. There wasn't.

Part of the boredom and walking out feeling was the cringe dialog. It got me rolling my eyes throughout the last hour, especially at the end with all that speech and preaching about life and love and blah, blah, blah.. terrible. After watching two hours of cheap, quirky, repetitive and unfun humour and cheap choreographies don't come to me trying to be serious and dramatic (and cliché) because it's not the time or place.

Best actress??? WHAT??!! None of the performances were worthy of big praise! It's a cheap looking action flick, what the hell?!

The costumes and set design are quite horrible. Seriously. Costume design got another award! What is it to praise about a costume made of teddy bears? Originality? NO. Hard work? NO. Is it interesting? NO. Sets are just boring. I don't remember a single one that was interesting or at least looked good. Even the ""final fight"" was lame. That's part of the poor, uninteresting cinematography, below average. I've seen LOTS of TV shows that look WAY better than this ""Academy award winner"". Again, what a joke.

It's not even a case of high expectations, it never looked amazing in the trailer for me. I was interested in the concept, and as I said, the awards made me curious, but if it hasn't won all those prices, I'd be trashing it anyway, because it's a really bad movie for me.

Finally, I have to say, as an action/fighting movie, it's also very mediocre. The choreographies are average, nothing I haven't seen in a Jackie Chan's TV movie on a Sunday afternoon. Seriously boring.

I even find disrespectful how this movie got the prize against the other WAY BETTER movies competing.

And again, WHAT A JOKE.

Awards aside, this is a bad movie.",4
"Take a superstar who is typecast as the college boy romantic hero, take every genre of movies from comedy to drama to action, think of outrageous moments from many popular films, add over the top slapstick and shake really hard, OK you can stir a bit too! What you end up with is a comedy that never takes itself seriously and is a barrel of laughs. Farah Khan is known as an excellent choreographer - but this is also one savvy lady. She takes her romantic hero, decides he is too old to play college boy, but wouldn't it be fun to have him do it anyway. Thus is born the character of Major Ram Prasad Sharma (Shahrukh Khan). He is overly straight-laced, non-nonsense and socially untested having studied in military academy through out. But he has to go back to school undercover to protect the army chief's daughter Sanjana (Amrita Rao) from the terrorist Raghav (Sunil Shetty). As an added bonus his estranged step mother (Kirron Kher) lives in the same town and his half-brother Lucky (Zayed Khan) is in the same college. Major Ram is like a fish out of water in the college, he is the gawky misfit, and his only friends are the other misfits. But he does slowly win hearts and friends and even gets to be the paying guest in his step mom's house. However he is thrown for a toss when he encounters the stunning chemistry teacher Miss Chandni (Sushmita Sen) and turns into an idiot every time he sees her. In the meantime Raghavan is playing his own game and trying to stop the implementation of a prisoner exchange program between India and Pakistan. Major Ram has to step in but Raghavan has many an ace up his sleeve. In the end will good triumph over evil?

The story is put together very well and the situations are hilariously contrived. Things kick off with Ram's arrival in the school and the the fun never stops. Many a moment is plucked out of some popular film or other and seamlessly blended into this palette of situations. Ram's first meeting with Chandni is something I can laugh over again and again. Shahrukh is not afraid to parody himself as the singing romantic hero - arms uncontrollably raised in air, his rendition of Ek Ladki Ko Dekha to Aisa Laga had me in stitches. He gets into the spirit of the comedy really well as the college student who is goody goody, but has no sense of fashion or style, and has no smooth moves on the ladies. Sushmita is hot! She looks exactly like you would expect a stunner to look - someone who can make men tongue-tied if she happens to walk by. Frankly her role does not demand any more and she does the job well! Amrita Rao is very good as the vulnerable Sanjana. Zayed is a pain in the behind, but I happily suffered through that as everything around him was great. Satish Shah as the spiting teacher was hilarious, Boman Irani as the forgetful principal was very funny, Bindu ji, Naseer Shah and Kirron Kher were great as expected. The surprise package was the bad-ass Raghavan played by Sunil Shetty - the heavy metal accompaniment every time one saw him helped a lot too! Hey, and I liked Rakhi Sawant as the chocolate eating Mini!

Anu Malik made some excellent tunes for this movie - the title track is amazingly good, Tumse Milke Dil ka Hai Jo Haal reminds me of why Qawwali was so popular in the yesteryears, Chale Jaise Hawaiyen has wonderful choreography with the longest shots in cinema to date, Gori Gori is catchy and infectious, and Tumhe jo Maine Dekha keeps with the overall spoof feel as the lead pair walk right out of college into an exotic locale while the walls segue around them from one place to the other. The movies spoofed are too many to count - Sholay's Basanti rickshaw, KKHH dance moves, K3G bhajans and aartis and the whole rice on the doorstep thing, Matrix moves, every romantic song SRK has ever sung on screen, countless Jackie Chan films.. The list goes on and on.

Some have made the mistake of thinking this is a serious action flick - you would rather be better off finding seriousness in Mel Brooks films! There is nothing serious here, just a lot of irreverent poking fun at everything and a barrel of laughs. It helps that a lot of times the lead man is poking fun at himself! Kudos to Farah for her smarts and her sense of style. Many will not get it but this is one intelligent film.",8

"Directed by David F. Sandberg. Starring Asher Angel, Jack Dylan Grazer, Zachary Levi, Mark Strong, Grace Fulton, Cooper Andrews, Marta Milans, Djimon Hounsou, John Glover, Faithe Herman, Ian Chen. (PG-13)

Foster teen Angel is chosen by an ancient wizard (Hounsou) to be imbued with superpowers (and the form of adult Levi); he mostly uses those powers to show off and garner attention, until crossing paths with powerful supervillain Strong. Slightly above-average DCEU outing is still little more than a series of professional-but-unspectacular special effects surrounding the familiar story beats of an origin story character arc. A sense of humor helps, though the jokes are only sporadically amusing, and the irreverence is poorly matched with a dismal long-lost mother sub-plot and a humorless, weakly-developed villain. A running joke is that Angel/Levi doesn't know what all he can do in ""Shazam form"" and keeps figuring out new powers...but does he have any ""weaknesses"" at all (besides threats against loved ones)? At least this seemingly invincible champion has a playful side sorely missing in the DCEU version of the Man of Steel. In between the inexcusably drawn-out introductory passages and an overextended series of (anti-)climaxes, there are isolated moments of joy and pizzazz, but not enough to heroically save the day.

"I really liked the first two Iron Man films. They were flashy, techy, exciting and even funny at times. With Robert Downey Junior in the title role, the producers had the perfect fit for not only the Iron Man but also the wise-cracking playboy millionaire inventor behind the mask.

This third outing though is a big let down. The plot is a mess, with Guy Pearce hamming it up as a sort of meta-human Terminator 2, out to humiliate the U.S. via the kidnap of their president, using another super-villain The Mandarin as the medium to initially spread fear and panic amongst the general public with various Bin Laden type terrorist actions. Unfortunately for America and naturally the free world, Iron Man is between costumes and not operating at full strength so that even with the assistance of the similarly-powered War Machine / Iron Patriot, he's pushed to his limits in the expected mayhem-inducing final battle between the two.

So what has gone wrong? For one thing Iron Man doesn't appear in armour very much in the film (although his previous prototypes come to the rescue by the end) - I don't know, maybe Downie Junior wanted more face-time on screen. The suit-on, suit-off routine is greatly overdone and the in-suit commentaries, this time by two costumed heroes, grate too, while the climactic battle would be more properly termed an anti-climactic battle. The idea of Ben Kingsley's Wizard of Oz-like Mandarin doesn't serve the character well and by now Gwyneth Paltrow's Pepper Potts character is very irritating too. Worst of all there are two awkward and embarrassing condescensions to the comic-fan base and I guess target cinema-audience too as Downey Junior is forced into cringe-worthy, humourless scenes with a savvy pre-teen kid and later an adult nerd-fan in a van.

With an incessant, booming, rock soundtrack just to round things off, I saw this in the end as a poorly written, routinely filmed and ultimately empty blockbuster which doesn't bode well for future entries in the franchise.

So long as the overall material value and integrity is maintained, I'm willing to let the little things slide, I.e. the Harry Potter series or the Great Gatsby. And then there are the abominations. Movies so poorly adapted it's like they looked at the book (or game) cover and came up with their own movie. Starship Troopers and Super Mario Bros come to mind. This movie falls squarely in the latter category. It is the quintessential horrible movie adaptation of all time. Zak Penn should be tarred and feathered before being thrown out of Hollywood. Spielberg, who I thought could do no wrong until this movie, has clearly lost his magical touch. Too many indie movies? Too much money? Whatever the case, he's become fat and lazy and complacent with his accomplishments. The only thing that this movie got right were the names of its characters. There is no direction in this movie, just special effects. Just an inundation of a steaming pile of garbage masquerading as a cohesive movie. The actors are not at fault this time around, a rarity. They worked with what they had.",2
"Usually a film is written for 8 year old boys, there's something to hook adults in.

Some of the fight scenes like the one on the bridge were quite impressive but otherwise ... Nothing of interest.",3
"Rex Reed's review, which can be viewed on Rotten Tomatoes, says it all. I don't always agree with Rex, but the man is a movie critic of long-standing repute, and he's secure enough to call worthless dreck what it is. I read the blurbs of many other professional movie critics, and in one sentence, you can tell they're disingenuous, people writing what they've been told or paid to write. Spinners. Posers.

Inception rating > 9 on IMDb is what Michael Moore was referring to when he said at the Oscars several years ago (he was referring to our national politics, foreign policy and political leadership at the time, but it applies to the mainstream media and all mass-marketing as well): We live in fictitious times.",1
"There is no other movie like SWADES. I saw this movie when I was about to complete my one year of stay in a foreign country. It shows same feeling such I was feeling at that moment of time. I didn't know when movie ended. It has manifested many messages to the people of India. If you think carefully than it has shown many hidden messages. Though mostly the film's message is for NRIs but there are many good messages to take note for residents of India.People of India must unite to solve the problems of the country and to make developed nation otherwise there is no point to blame each other.This is to be understand by NRIs' that we are very selfish so that we always think about our progress but we don't take care about the betterment of our own motherland and our own brothers and sisters.Actually it is considered to be good if we should know our history first and take care of our culture and our country.Nowadays girls are running behind the NRI guys for marriage by leaving their motherland. Actually they should take proud of their own work or job in India and should think that they are working at the grass-root level of country which can make very good progress of your own motherland. They should not leave their mother to serve other country. They must take note who are serving in foreign country that all you are working is only for your betterment by leaving your motherland and ignoring your brothers, sisters, culture and history. It has one very good hidden message. We can take outside wind to make grow our tree but we can not cut our root and plant it in neighbour's field. If you do so than future tree will be neighbour's tree and it will never consider as your tree. This message explain everything behind the scene. Thanks and salute to Asutosh and Team of Swades. JaiHind.",10
"I really can't wrap my mind around the rates given to this movie. Though I love Scorsese and Dicaprio's work with him there is just no reason to consider this movie more than a playful comedy.

3 hours of, in all honesty, nothing. No context, no punch not even that great of acting. There is really not a line to follow or any biographical data to grab on. It's just an endless display of ""funny"" (was it really?) scenes where the main characters display their excesses and appetite for luxury.

By the second hour of Leo getting drugged I was completely fed up with it…at least these kind of teen/party/drug funny movies are short and give no higher expectations…

I was really expecting more of Leo and especially more of Scorsese...",4
"This show is one of a kind, the directors were so smart and they created something never seen in tv history. The acting is sooo good the characters are awesome the story the villans are all phenomenal Respect to the creators.",10
"Thank you, my insomnia is cured with this super slow movie.

Cgi is fine, awesome in clear weather, but i can see clearly cgi in heavy snow scene. Character development is meh. Every development here is internalized, motivated by past experience, trigger by event, but no scene which tell the story about his past, even the tribe. Also minimum dialog. How can i care. And, no twist actually, big lie in review section. Main character just has unbelievable personality in that time, trust me, i read history and psychology.

1/10 to balance the score.",1
"This film is a fun ride, despite its length! So much to enjoy...characters, colours, situations, some good performances. I really didnt expect to enjoy it as much as I did since it had been panned by a few, at the outset. But I think tjis is the kind of film which will grow a die hard fan base :)",9
"The only bad thing about this movie is the lack of acting skill of Naomie Harris and the childish gags. Don't expect much, probably the worst Woody Harrison role ever.",6
"I really liked this film, this movie was Farah Khan's debut as a director and she did and excellent job, the music, dancing, dialogue, acting it was all just brilliant.

Shahrukh was okay in the film but iv seen him in better roles and i know for a fact that he could have acted better,overall his performance was very average, Now i really liked Zayed Khan he acted very well in this film and showed a lot of emotion in the character that he played. Amrita is very cute and petite and i love her in every film that she does, she acted very well and Sushmita was very good as well, i really loved those Saree's that she wore, she can really carry them off, my favourite tracks would have to be ""Tumse Milka"" that is such a great tune, i think this film was one of the best i saw in 2004 and really recommend it to everyone.",9
"To tell you the truth I can't remember much about the plot--and I just saw it last night! Something about a cursed pirate ship and its crew and how they all turn to skeletons when moonlight hits them and how they need some coins or something to release the curse...I was so bored during this film my mind kept wandering. Maybe I just don't like pirate films but I think there's more to it than that.

This film has some major problems--it's way too long (half an hour could have been cut out easily); the story is (needlessly) convoluted and very badly done (I'm blaming the screenwriters and director, NOT the actors); despite all the explosions and fights the action scenes are surprisingly dull; there's loads of casual violence; leading lady Knightley is constantly being hit in the face and the admittedly great special effects just didn't grab me. There is a spectacular sword fight at the end with the men going in and out of moonlight and going from skeleton to man and back again--but it's too little too late. The direction is WAY off too--he seems unsure of how to frame scenes and it makes things very confusing.

I can't fault the actors--Orlando Bloom (very handsome with beautiful black eyes) is very good in a badly written role. Keira Knightly's role is even worse--she's just ""the girl"" in the movie and no one could be good in it. Geoffrey Rush is OK as the pirate chief. Johnny Depp is the one reason to watch this movie. His performance is so off-beat and funny he keeps the film afloat. Just his mannerisms and facial expressions give an unexpected kick to lines.

So...this handsome production sinks because of bad direction, ridiculous length and many many boring stretches. Unless you're a huge fan of pirate movies you can skip this one.",5
"Who said everything in 2020 is wrong? One of the finest movie in terms of writing story. Every single scene is excellently written. Emotions, comedy, adult, acting, content, etc. Full package in 1 movie. Love you #AnuragBasuSir",10
"Yes, I enjoyed watching this but the first one was in my opinion better. Not that the villain that Venom was bad, just that he wasn't different enough from the villain in the first movie to stand apart.

That being said, I'm eagerly awaiting this version of Venom and the latest version of Spider-Man to go at each other, I think we got enough background on both of them to see the action take place quickly.",8
"It's hard to believe that there are so many haters who dislike this film for its style and the way it is filmed. The film style is that of a rapid shot comic book. It is filmed this way so that the viewer can absorb a massive data stream both visually and sonically in a lesser amount of time, as opposed to a slower classic style of cinema film. The actors and their parts are in tune with today's movie viewers. They are not bad, they are just identified by a younger viewership.

This movie is fun to watch from start to finish, and has many new ideas. It is well made and has big visual impact! The soundtrack is modern and the special effects are outstanding. The Deadpool jokes are a little campy and get old by the end of the show, but the movie overall is fun to watch.

I would suggest that the older classic cinema watchers stop reviewing this type of movie because the industry has long past moved beyond your understanding, and the readers here long past the care of your words.

If your between the ages of 18 and 60, and like Deadpool and modern James Bond, then this is for you.",7
"Since this is the 7th movie in the series, you pretty much have to be caught up by this point because it gets right into the plot without explaining much, but that's simply because it would take too much time. After just reading the book for the second time, I can safely say that I would have been mostly lost if I hadn't read it.

The movie's pacing is all over the place. The first third has a very brisk pace, but then it slows down a LOT in the middle, but to be fair that's how it went in the book too. Then it finally starts to pick up again near the end. This is also, put simply, a road movie with Harry, Ron, and Hermione out to find the remaining horcruxes, while camping in many different locations and getting themselves in one situation after another. Some of these situations were pretty downplayed compared to the book, but some, such as the Malfoy manor scene were handled much better.

What more can you say about Harry, Ron, and Hermione at this point? This movie is all about them, more than any of the other movies. However, this does give them nice moments of character development. Of course many other characters make appearances, but they are only around for 1 or 2 scenes.

The film has a dark and tight feel to it. Many scenes are filmed very up close and some are so dark I could barely see what's going on, which took a lot of impact out of those scenes (you think they would use that Lumos spell more often). However the set pieces, such as the forest, for the most part look nice.

This is not my favorite movie in the series. It fact it might not even make the top 3, but still it could be worse. I'm just glad I read the book first.",5
Best one yet by Amitabh and Nagraj story was raw yet beautifully narrated by the director it was amazing the cinematography was outstanding story was mind-blowing and all actor's involved were fantastic can't believe people are missing this masterpiece.,10
"I found this to be an unusual mini series to watch. The cast turns in great work across the board. The four female leads - Winslet, Nicholson, Smart and Rice do an excellent job in every scene. If I have a gripe, the male cast does not get much to do. This was a real waste of a skilled actor in Guy Pearce.

The story is a weird mix. Ii feels like a Hallmark Channel people drama with a great murder mystery squeezed into it. For me, less Hallmark and more cop show would have been good but it's still a good watch. Some interesting twists and turns that hold your attention.

Definitely worth the time to get through the 7 episodes. Hope they do a second season (with more cop show) as long as Cate Winslet returns.",8
"If you are ready to ignore the nonsense plot, geography crap etc then you can actually have great fun with this movie.

And it features the longest, wildest and just crazy car chase scene I have ever seen...",7
"I read all of the books, and played all of the games. As a devoted fan (for more that 4 years), I can't deny, that this series is, some what, exhilarating. I don't agree with some of the choices, regarding the cast, but also, I can't deny the truthfulness of the storyline. Most of my favourite stories were realized, and my imagination was challenged. I give it an 9 only because, of some bad acting, apart from that, I loved It. P.S. Hanry Cavill is great in this (way better than superman)",9
"About 18 minutes in and I'm hooked! I genuinely enjoy Steven with a 'V' character. But as the story unfolds, ""more"" characters come into the fold and it's great! Good script, good music, good story telling - an all around good series.",8
"Strong and emotive drama series which are describing the dark side of a life at high school and everything about it. Early episodes will drag you into the story really fast, but midseries will bore you a little by the slow story telling. However the 4-5 last episodes will pay off your waiting and the story will get so intense and real it will make you think about it even after end of a credit scenes. Music selection is making it perfect. 9/10.",9
"Writing this review in the month of December 2020, I will try to give my perspective according to each individual season. Three so far!

Season 1 :

The show commences on a pretty high note. Glimmering visuals, techno inspired Soundscore and 80's nostalgia. Pretty spot on right from the start. Now comes a bunch of charismatic & relatable characters. We also got some stunning array of performances; especially mentioning the child actors! And Millie Bobby Brown, outperforming everyone else. The casting team deserves a whole lot of praise for bringing such a talented individual into the scene. Helped by an intriguing narration; this was indeed a great experience. My only nitpicks here would be about the antagonist. The writing on his character just didn't come out as expected. Season Rating - 8.5/10

Season 2 :

With this afresh addition, we got introduced to several new faces. Some of them became instantly likable such as Bob, Max. The most striking difference I could possibly find is the balance between distinctive traits in all those characters. They are absolutely not one-dimensional. The writing here has vastly improved from its previous iteration. It had become more mature and motivated! Humour, Thrill, Romance, Horror. An ambitious blend, which is undoubtedly delicious and well served. The core storyline takes a little bit of time to build up, but the wait is worthwhile. Performance wise everyone left an impression. In the first, Millie Bobby Brown was the standout, now she has a competition and that's coming from Noah Schnapp aka Will. A terrific act. Especially in the 5th & 6th episodes, where he had outdone himself. My only gripe would be the 7th episode. Where, El takes a detour to find her estranged 'Sister' who also happens to be a 'Special' kid. Now, many of you might not agree with me here, but this episode seemed like a big letdown. As it didn't really contribute much in terms of the overall narrative! Season Rating - 9/10

Season 3 : The first two episodes were a bit stretch, not quite contributing enough to the main plot. From 3rd; things start moving. Few new set of characters are introduced, among them Robbin would be worth mentioning. Although the characterization is good enough, I feel the focus wasn't really on the characters and their individual perspectives this time. Unlike the second season, it's not as emotionally investing. All the main characters are just investigating on their own, playing their essential parts in these strange occurences happening around the town of Hawkins. The momentum continues till the 7th episode! Where it once again starts to drag a little bit. But the climax somewhat redeemed/overshadowed any shortcomings beforehand. If I could describe it in a sentence, 'Season 3 is your typical Hollywood blockbuster flick, with Action, Adventure, Romance, Drama, Thrill; altogether'. Personally speaking, the second season is still my favourite from the bunch, this was close but again; I'm not so sure about the idea of including Political philosophies in a Teenage Adventure Drama. Season Rating - 8.5/10",9
"This movie answers the age of question ""what if white saviour complex was a confusingly edited action movie full of plot holes"", or ""what if Iron Man started implementing American international politics with his own 'Mission accomplished' banner"".

The only saving crace is the opening car chase scene which, when the editing works, is a great example of how lower budget action movies can use confidened spaces to create character dynamics and build tension without constant explosions.",2
"Very enjoyable MCU movie, good how the conflict came with in and some of the fight scenes were crazy good. Introduction of black panther and Spider-Man were definitely welcome and the relationship between Steve and Buckie is brilliant. Good all round film and up there with the best of them.",9
"A great entertaining story which honestly went beyond my expectations. The story and acting had some glitches that can be neglected. The show beautifully captured the essence of the ""Twisted Metal"" game, bringing the intense vehicular combat and unique characters to life in a way that both fans and newcomers can appreciate. The action sequences were thrilling and well-executed, keeping me on the edge of my seat throughout. The show's creative twists and unexpected turns kept me hooked, and the character development added depth to the overall narrative. It's a nostalgic ride for gamers and an exciting adventure for anyone seeking an adrenaline-packed series.",8
"The series was announced a few years ago. And all these years I, an ardent fan of Burton and Addams, have been waiting for a miracle. It will be just an orgasmic combo, such wonderful and perfectly combined 'ingredients' in one dish!

However, from the very first minutes of the series, it became clear to me that everything was gone. Boredom... ringing boredom... No atmosphere, no worthwhile dialogues, no charismatic actors. Who riveted it? Did he even watch the original? The first episode, Mortisha's farewell to her daughter: Mortisha burst into tears from the fact that Wednesday talks to her unkindly. Seriously? Why turn a unique character of an infernal mother into an average American mom from movies?

And Wednesday? Performed by Christina Ricci, she has become a legend! We still remember this amazing character. A psychopathic girl with a rod that you're really afraid of. What's going on here? Just a nerdy little girl in black clothes with a scowl.

Judging by the general facelessness of the plot (and everything in general) and the similarity with hundreds of current youth series, it seems that Burton was rigidly placed within the framework of the modern agenda and he simply does not know how to fit into all this, so in trying to pass for his own, he makes a terribly clumsy 'G'.

God, Timmy, how is this possible with your experience and spontaneity? You're a genius.

That's it, I don't have the strength to paint this horror anymore, everything is bad there.",1
"What more can anyone ask for? This movie is a sequel yet at no point one feels it is any less than the 1st part in quality or performances(except maybe Marlon Brando's performance which is in my opinion the most charismatic performance of all times).

The movie flows so well, and the way the story shifts from Vito's life then to Michael's life is handled so well.

Beautiful cinematography, and background score is the best ever.

De Niro and Al Pacino gave unforgettable performances, proving they are two of the greatest actors ever.

I recommend this movie to anyone who is interested in watching quality cinema, intelligent dialogues, and great stories.",10
"Well, as I'm not a fan of the fomulaic Marvel universe that often tends to copy itself over and over again, I thought I'd give this a shot as some reviewers praised the intitial suspense of this series.

And well, it seems to be no surprise that while die-hard Marvel fans don't like the beginning but state that the series gains traction at the middle, for me it is vice-versa. I found the first episodes quite nice, as they introduce some fresh ideas (from the changing titles to the ""sitcom"" aesthetics). Unfortunately the series quickly deterioates to the typical trite Marvel plot where in the end the protagonists fight with cheesy-looking CGI power beams and it's all about superheroes flying, power-beaming and stereotypical evil corporation/military guys that we all know are no match for the good guys.

I've been glad when the credits from the final episode rolled. I'm not saying this series or the Marvel universe is bad per se, it's just not my taste and if you like the other Marvel stuff, you'll surely like this. Everyone else will probably find the first episodes entertaining and the rest unmemorable.",6
I went with my friends to the cinema and it was a big let down after the first avangers,3
"Whenever a stand-alone movie becomes a sequel, frequent moviegoers cannot help but cringe at the idea of having their favorite films ruined by the mere greed of movie studios. Thankfully, fans of Iron Man were able to have greater hopes than those of other movies turned sequel due to the abundance of material available via the original Marvel comics, thus giving birth to the illustrious sequel that is Iron Man 2. This superhero flick opens up as a Russian television set portrays Tony Stark(brilliantly portrayed by Robert Downey Jr.) revealing himself as Iron Man during a press conference. Moments later, the setting contrasts itself dramatically as the film captures the final words of an elderly Russian man towards his son, Ivan Vanko(Mickey Rourke). With the assistance of his father's blueprints, Ivan creates his own version of Stark's Arc Reactor with the intent of weaponizing it for his own purposes.

Anybody who has seen the film can more than happily realize the fact that Robert Downey Jr. was a phenomenal choice for the portrayal of Tony Stark. While watching the movie, it appears as if he has completely become Tony Stark, possessing every single quirk that the billionaire playboy shows. His lines move naturally with a tone of voice one would expect from the overly arrogant Stark. However, what truly stood out to me in Downey's acting style is his portrayal of Stark's descent into a state of weakness. Without revealing further pieces of the plot, I can assure any moviegoer that Downey allows you to feel a conflict between laughing at Stark's actions and feeling absolute sympathy. I can firmly state that, without Downey, the character of Tony Stark would not have captivated me nearly as much as it does now.

When it comes to costumes, anybody can agree that we would all pay an extremely large amount of money to obtain one of Stark's suits. They are simply some of the most interesting pieces of technology we can even imagine, while also looking simply fantastic. In Iron Man 2, we are introduced to Stark's different models for his Iron Man suit, each showing a different taste which I greatly enjoy. Also, we are introduced to the creation of Ivan's 'suit', which consists mainly of two electrified whips with an amazing capacity for destruction. All in all, the ability for the costume designer to transform the original drawings of these suits from the comics into these realistic suits of metal interests me to no end. If there is anything to take from the movie, it is the ingenuity that is put behind every small detail.

In its entirety, Iron Man 2 was an amazing movie which defied the preconception of the typical sequel. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the first movie, and especially to those who recently saw the amazing movie, The Avengers. As my favorite Avenger, I could not possibly see myself enjoying the movie itself without first both experiencing and loving both movies of the Iron Man series. In my opinion, Iron Man 2 deserves an 8.5/10 as it may not be perfect, but it is truly an amazing film.I shall be anxiously waiting for the release of Iron Man 3 in 2013.",8
"I was never a big Captain America fan growing up. I cannot recall buying a single comic book of his, even though most of my pocket money as a child was spent on comics. That being said though, I thoroughly enjoyed Captain America: The First Avenger, released in 2011.

The most impressive aspect of the first film was the credibility of the storyline. Albeit, one based on a comic book character. It did not overuse computer generated imagery (CGI), and the way in which Captain America was brought from the 1940s, to the 21st century was (given the genre), plausible.

The same cannot be said for its sequel, Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Even for a movie based on a comic book superhero, the storyline is, dare I say it, comical. While the premise and origin of the assassin known as 'the winter soldier' is perfectly acceptable, everything else in the film is just too over the top. However perhaps the films' biggest fault lies in that it seems to completely ignore the existence and events of 2012's 'The Avengers'.

Given the circumstances Captain America finds himself in, it is unreasonable to think that other members of The Avengers would not be called in to assist him. Particularly given that the algorithm the film centres on comes up with Bruce Banner's (The Hulk) name as a future threat. Not to mention the discovery that Tony Stark's (Iron Man) father's death was not an accident, as previously thought, and the fact that the fate of the world is at stake.

This was not the case with either Iron Man 3, or the second Thor film. Both were released after The Avengers, yet both followed on smoothly from the events of that film. In Iron Man's case, coming to terms mentally with what occurred in The Avengers, and Thor having to team up with his adopted and now imprisoned brother Loki – the villain of the ensemble film.

The film makers could have concentrated more on the antagonism and personal connection between The Winter Soldier and Captain America. Instead it is just one small part of a convoluted myriad of senseless sub plots that do not really come together, nor fit in with previous films set in the Marvel universe.

Of course the special effects are amazing, but there is nothing new of note, and it has all been seen before. If anything, the film relies too much on CGI, which while being momentarily satisfying, is hardly memorable.

The acting is solid, but nothing more. Although given what they have to work with, the cast hardly be criticised for that. Even Robert Redford's presence in the film cannot raise it above its own mediocrity.

However, despite all of the above Captain America: The Winter Soldier does provide a couple of hours of escape from the real world. And as long as you leave logic, and any great expectations at the door, those two hours can also be entertaining ones.",6
"People are far too picky, and their reviews are so over dramatic and angsty, the ones complaining that the show is written for teens read like they were written by teens. Dont go in with unreal expectations and its good entertainment, dont focus on the bad like so many people seem to do and just enjoy it.",7
"First of all, I've read the books and played the games several times. Geralt is my all time favorite game character and I also love Yennefer. I was so excited for this show and maybe my expectations were to high...

It's not a bad show. Henry Cavill is awesome as Geralt. And I really like the casting of Dandelion and Ciri. The fight scenes are great and I love the look of Geralt casting signs.

The problem for me is that I find it all so incredibly boring! I just don't care about the story or any the characters. It might be because I already know alot of the story, but it should be exciting to see how the show executes it and what they keep or change. But it just doesn't. It's almost like they try too hard to make me feel for the characters, but everything is happening so quickly and I don't feel invested in anything.

For me it's not the acting. I think it's more the pacing, the script and the editing. The pacing is all over the place and the episodes are too long. The script is cringey at times and I feel like they repeat things too much. We know Witchers are looked down on by humans. We know Yennerfer feels worthless. They don't have to repeat it again and again in the same episode.

I also feel like the costumes could have been a lot better. I'm sure they had a limited budget, but honestly it looks a little ridiculous. Everyone looks like they're in a play and should be on a stage. The costumes doesn't blend with the environment and takes my focus away from what is happening story wise. When you watch a movie or a tvshow, the costumes should feel authentic to the characters, and not stand out in a distracting way. Hopefully this will get better as we get more seasons, as this happens with alot of tvshows.

I don't love it, but I'll still give season 2 a shot. It definitely has alot of potential and maybe it's a show that needs to grow on me with time.",5
"Awesome, surprise package!!!! Hats off to the director and the team. Ghibran rocks and it's a must watch in theatres to feel the effects, such an excellent movie scene by scene thrills and clueless and the dots been connected so well. Even though few scenes been copied from Hollywood said by the social media reviewer, the way director extracted from the team hats off, still it's new to the audience who haven't seen those movies. And the villain done his job perfect and his act in climax outstanding and monstrous. Especially the house, bathroom scene made the heart beat faster. School master done his portion extremely well, no words to describe the emotional scene every eyes filled with tears for Ammu, Vishal and munis such a remarkable performance. Amala done her portion as usual beautiful. A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work and the Director Ramkumar proved it very well. Visual treat.",10
"I have yet to figure out why in the past few years so many children are acting in adult shows. I don't want to see them, especially as much as they build stories around them & have them acting about 10 years older than they actually are. Then add to that the adults being submissive to the kids wants & taking them entirely too seriously bending to a child's will. I know this show has the 2 kids as original characters and they are just as annoying and boring as the original show. It's gotten to the point where there are no original shows for just adults anymore. I couldn't get through 10 minutes of this hogwash before having deja vu all over again, it was unmitigated boredom. It took all my powers of concentration to finish the episode. The liberal idiot idea of inclusiveness is ruining society in all types of ways & you can add entertainment to that overly long list. This never ending pursuit of having kids in every show on TV has made many shows completely unwatchable for me. Add this one to the list.",1
"I waited for the second episode before writing this because I wanted to give the show another chance. I don't really want to dump on HBO. I know they are hoping to revive the magnificent spectacle that was Game Of Thrones; the international, multi-generational audience, the global watch parties etc.... I wish them the best and hope this show pays off. But I don't think I'll be carrying on. Not because it's bad. I don't really think it's ""bad"". It's just, as I had feared, a lackluster knock-off. It's what the Hobbit films were to the Lord Of The Rings; an obvious attempt to cash in on a better product by trying (and failing) to do more of the same. I find it a little ironic that people who trashed the last season of GoT could love HotD. I too was disappointed in the last season of GoT, but not for the reasons I heard from many other fans. And this series already has all the elements I disliked about the final season. The things that hooked me on GoT were the pacing of the scenes, the realism in location and nuance, the way they introduced and developed characters, the natural banter etc... all of those were abandoned in the final season of GoT, and none of these things are evident from the beginning in this show. The Double D's were offered plenty of money to deliver the full ten episodes for the final season. But for some reason they opted to give us a truncated season, abandoning their long established scene and character development, opting instead for quick expositional scenes and battles filled with hackneyed deus-ex-machina moments. But it took the Double D's years to take so many short cuts. From the start of HotD, the pacing is quick. Scenes are not given time to breath and therefor characters have no time to develop beyond their specific role in the story. Remember when we first met Ned Stark and his family... and Robert Barathoen? Remember when we were first introduced to Danyeras and Littlefinger, and Cercai and Jamie and TYRION! We met all those characters in the very first episode. And how quickly, for good and bad, they won us over. But I have not yet seen one character in HotD whose story I really care to follow. And the dialogue isn't much more than huge info-dumps delivered by GoT style caricatures. Everything has a glossy CG sheen, the modern equivalent of putting Vaseline on the lens. And nothing has any weight. The jousting scene tried to replicate the realism of The Mountain's battle with gore.... tried and failed, imo. GoT felt real. Authentic. This just felt gratuitous. But the real test for me is simple: do I want to watch more? And the sad answer is, not really. I'm not a hater. I don't think it's bad. It's just meh... and it's competing for my attention with a lot of other new shows... and sadly not cutting it. I really wanted to like it. I did.

(EDIT: I realized I was wrong about meeting all the afore mentioned GoT characters in the first epiosde. I think we don't meet Little Finger until episode 2... or 3 maybe? It's been a while. But the rest still stands.)",4
This serie is so bad. From snooze fest to complete stupidity...there is no way anyone would rate this higher than a 5. Everything about it was bad! From the storyline to the acting...the effects. Everything! I can't believe I watched all 3 episodes. I keep hoping it'll get better but only got worse! Episode 3 was shockingly bad in every way.,1
The plot was entertaining and great. Action scenes were on point. The start of new captain America is shown brilliantly plus there are some few surprises too. Ending was good too. Overall a solid start .,8
"ok....now...PLZZZZZ someone, tell me HOW THIS MOVIE GOT NOMINATED FOR BEST PICTURE...THE MOVIE IS POINTLESS!what kept you people(the ones claiming it to be a good movie) awake throughout the 2 hours? i either missed an important detail in the movie, or bribery was involved...there's definitely something going on here...i wasted my 5.50$ and 2 hours of my life.Someone please write back, and tell me what was so good about it to be nominated for best picture. I need to know why you people like it so much anyways,i await your messages

thank you",3
"First of all, series has funny moments as expected from the marvel Series. It is mysterious and all the mysteries solved in last episode which make you hold to this series. Then there is suspense also, story plotting with character development is fantastic - can't describe it. And credit scenes are also epic.

But there are some problems as well, like i am not familiar with english language but this series uses some hard words, you feel boring in start bcz of sitcom type. There are some mistakes as well. It is little bit confusing also.

That's all Hope you like it.",9

"The movie have some insane scenes and is okay for watching it just once, not something that you will want to watch few times. I was a bit bothered that the alfa side mirrors were smashed but then were appearing as brand new every 20 seconds, it was annoying, wonder if someone else noticed this lol",6
"This is one of the best movie I have seen in 2022. It's a beautiful love story between dog and her honor. The movie convey Some scenes are like literally very touchy and emotional.

I rate this movie 10/10 because of his story writing, good direction, good cinematography and whatever. I literally cry while watching this movie.

"This show really didn't look all that great from its inception. Take two of the three dullest MCU ""heroes"" (Hawkeye obviously completes the trinity) and force them together for some misadventures with the MCU's dullest villain and what do you get? Yep you guessed it, a particularly dull show.

Bad concept, bad acting, bad writing, more dull villains, ridiculous plot turns. Ugh! I could go on and on. You get the picture.

Suffice to say you should only watch this for MCU continuity. I can't see another compelling reason to do so. An absolute miss after the absolutely sublime WandaVision.",4
I don't understand why this movie got so many awards. This was one of the worst musicals in the history of worst musicals!!! The music was terrible and the plot was confusing. I had a headache after the first 2 songs! I will never be watching this movie again,1
"Re-watching Winter Soldier in 2020 after the completion of the main story in Avengers Endgame simultaneously makes this movie better and worse.

Some things became clearer, but some of the stuff that the characters say and some of their actions make less sense if you have seen Endgame and Captain Marvel. For example, there were a couple of throwaway lines from Nick Fury about how trusting people made him lost his eye, but Captain Marvel film doesn't really support this. Some of the stuff feels better (like the elevator scene) if you know how cool it will be handled in Endgame. Also, Black Widow looks in this film 10 years older than she does in Infinity War and Endgame and I'm not sure why.

The film is kept floating above the water by creative and cool action, good CGI that holds up even 6 years later, good humor, great pacing that makes a 2hr movie feel like a 15 min short, and, of course, the emotional ending scene. And while the writing was kinda sloppy and barely held it together, many things didn't make a whole lot of sense even by comic book standards, the friendship between Rogers and Bucky and the ending performances get me every time. It's so simple yet so effective.

Just makes me wish I had real friends.",8
"It's decent, but terribly overrated. The original movie was so much better. Alfred Molina in this is overrated! Luckily, the subway scene and other action sequences save it from a 4 star rating.",7

"You remember watching Last Jedi? Thinking, ""Eventually this will turn into a Star Wars movie, right?"" This movie feels the same. Huge boring disappointment.",4
"The first 2 episodes are different. I'm a fan of old sitcoms, and it took me a minute to adjust to the setting in the first episode. There's typical sitcom plot structure, but an overall mystery threaded throughout the episodes.

The show took it's time with characters and not a visual effects overload like a typical super hero movie. This is the story of Wanda, the Scarlett Witch. Well done Disney/Marvel.",9
"At first I loved it, but then I had many questions at the end of the movie, figured I just missed some stuff in the first movie so I re-watched it...then I was more confused. I feel like I missed an entire movie between the two. So much was unexplained that happened between the two movies. Several characters just showed up like you were supposed to know who they were already. Maybe the 3rd movie will be mostly flashbacks?!? Why would they rush these movies? Fans want details and want to connect with characters. Don't skimp on us!",6
"In season 1 episode 2, the alleged genocide of the greeks/armenians is brutally discussed. The topic is absolutely indifferent for this series. Nevertheless, it is talked about in the most disgusting way for 10 minutes. A clear political statement. After this episode, i stopped watching the series.",1
"Predestination. Nice title. A whiff of science fiction, a touch of ooh what is that. Only one problem, they got the title all wrong. It should be 'Predictable' or 'Pretentious'. My vote would be for predictable. Literally from the the very first scene before the credits roll I got the movie or at least 95% of it. The parts I didn't get didn't matter as the slog to get TO those parts were so uneventful and devoid of suspense or intrigue I almost had to resort to exercise to stay awake.

I'm starting to feel like science fiction fans are thought of as easy marks, suckers for anything Hollywood churns out and labels as SF. Toss in a space ship or time travel or hell anything in the future and we're supposed to fall in line at the theaters like lemmings. Sorry, but transparent junk like this movie are not for suckers or true believers, they're for morons who don't pay attention.

If you still want to see it, don't open your eyes until the credits start to roll past otherwise you'll suffer as I did.",3
"This movie talks a lot about dreams, but I doubt the goal was to make the viewer fall asleep, which happened in my case. Obviously, I din't get to finish it, which explains the lowest possible rating - as the movie that can't entartain me the least, can't get a positive review either.

Maybe I'm watching it wrong? Maybe it's an experiment type of a work, something like Madame Bovary - the author tries to convince us that the style is more important than the theme...

...and ""dream theme"" sure is boring...

...while the style's...

nothing special.",1
Why bring back body to burn. Stupid. He was gone. Leave him that way and there's no show. Nobody no crime. How this gets 8 star rating is sad.,1
"This classy whodunnit turned out to be somewhat of a breakout hit and it's not hard to see why. Buoyed by a magnetic central trio, a strong supporting cast and bundles of twists Only Murders is an absolute hoot to watch. There are some real highs here and some genuinely innovative moments but the rampant joy of it all is slightly punctured for me by some of the heavy signposting for many of the twists and some clunky pacing. Overall though it's an impressively dignified and polished project that seems to jump from high to high. What will the fourth season bring?",7
"This actually makes 'Gravity' seem quite good.

"Henry has never been a great actor, but team him with a woeful script, a show that can't make it's mind up whether to be powerful or plain silly, and it was doomed to fail.

What is such a surprise about this show is just how it has got such a high rating. Definitely one of the worse shows I've seen in 2019.

This is just yet another example of shows aimed at a young audience who have no depth or experience in life who will happily watch shows with no real character development.

I do not care how good a show looks, if the scripts are almost non existent. If this is the sort of rubbish that people will accept today I think we will never ever see a fantasy show again that comes even close to GOT.",1
Read the other bad reviews. They are correct. I swear they wrote this jumbled mess of incoherent trash as they were filming it. I was hoping it would get better.. then I decided to read the reviews before going on. See ya!!!,1
"All superheroes are tortured souls, torn between their yearning to fully join the human race and their overarching commitment to duty (kind of like the British Royal Family). Superman, Batman, the Hulk-all of them modern Shakesperean tragic heroes. Spidey's no different. You know, though, I didn't care too much for this movie, and I'll tell you why-at least half the reason you go to these flicks is to examine the villian. Most of the time, they're much more interesting (although not much different) than the hero. Driven by personal pain (see: Penguin, Joker, Darth Vader), they become an image what our hero could have become. Here, we actually have very little insight into the character of the villian, Doc Ock-who is actually being controlled by some mechanical arms. Yes, he lost his wife in the melee, but there's no character development, no real personalization of the war between he and Spiderman. It's just flat. And I don't really care about the relationship between Spiderman and MJ-part of the superhero's appeal is that he's always on the outside looking in, and there's usually a beautiful woman, i.e., Lois Lane, who symbolizes that. I'm more interested in the relationship between Spidey and Harry, or Spidey and the world. Go back to the roots of superhero lore and the next installment should be much more entertaining.",5
South's movies are good all the time. If Bollywood could make such a movie😔😶,10
"Terrible timelines, flashbacks or forward, poorly put together, so confusing but had to watch all of it hoping to get a better understanding, didn't happen.",3
"This film was so hyped, I actually waited to rent it. I am glad I did. So disappointing. I personally did not connect to the hero and found the female lead characters so much more compelling. Effects were good, acting was good, but I can only see one reason why this film did so well, and please do not get upset with me, but it was due to the majority of the cast being black and that the film was set in a futuristic African Wakanda. There was actually nothing that stood out as different (apart from the cast ethnicity) whereas the latest Thor film was a triumph in delivering something different and entertaining. This could just as well have been a Netflix film. I may now be so prejudiced regarding Marvel films after the fantastic Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers Infinity stones, but when you set the bar high, your fan base come to expect much of the same in terms of quality and entertainment.",3
"Definitely intrigued by the show so far. I disagree with certain political views or misinterpretations of history, but it doesn't stop me from enjoying the show. Can't wait to see Oscars character progresses and looking forward to more episodes.",8
"I finally got around to seeing this and oof. This movie is flat out ridiculous. 2 hours of the most senseless killings all for shock value, a weak story line that is full of a little girl and wolverine screaming at each other to the point of annoyance and ends with one thinking, ""wow...of all the things I could have done with my time, I chose to watch this.""

I'm confused as to why this movie has such high ratings or was made at all....just...why....",2
"What the story here represent is not about normal people...this's a story of abnormal people.

If you're sensitive, already down, or value your time even a little strictly avoid this. If looking for something different to watch, you're in wrong place. Don't let the rating fool you.",1
"I'm no critic. Neither am I a great film buff, but I watched this film knowing it was about Steven Spielberg's family life. So, for what it's worth, I feel he did this film for his 'private/personal viewing'. He is releasing some 'demons' from within. He hasn't done it to please anyone else, just himself and I say well done. I hope he ignores what others feel about this story - it was his life and he lived it, and coped with the trial of going through hard times.

Being Jewish must be so very hard and he had to deal with that from an early age. Bullied at school - and for what? If you haven't batted an eyelid about that subject, best you do your history homework again. Then he had to deal with the breakup of his parents, so sad. Through it all his... (don't say it's a hobby)....must have kept him sane.

Mr Spielberg is the very best film director ever and we who are alive today can sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labours. There is only one film he made that I have only watched once - and it took me a whole day and many breaks to get through it. I will probably never watch it again, it's just too heartbreaking. However, Schindler's List is a Masterpiece. How he made that film, I just cannot imagine.

Thank you Mr Spielberg for your wonderful films - and PS, I'm glad your personal story has a happy ending.",8
"Film take place in the town after which it's named. At the outset we meet with Jerry (William H. Macy), a car salesman who has a meeting with criminals Grimsrud (Peter Stormare) and Charles (Steve Buscemi). Jerry is in big financial problems and decides to carry out the kidnapping of his own wife in order to extract ransom money from his wife's father. Criminals help him, but from the very beginning of things fall out of control. Followed by a series of unexpected events that will lead to fatal consequences, the team is chased by Marge (Frances McDormand), persistent local police officer. Cohen Brothers are specific for many reasons and bases their admirers from year to year increasing. Their films do not feature special effects, chases and a waste of money during the filming, but the subtle art that is best reflected in the superb directing and original screenplay full of extremely interesting and different characters. Most of the projects are signed to earn a solid sum of the cinema ticket offices, but they prefer to be their bosses, without conditions and interference in the work, which is typical for a big Hollywood studios, which often kill authorial innovation.",9
"You will not be bored even a single minute, really great movie with excellent cinematography and story.",10
By the third season you realize how incredibly pretentious and empty the storyline is. The writer's obsession to over complicate things made it impossible to watch. I cringed the hole last season,6
"I had great expectations about this film because I love science-fiction and time traveler movies, and also because of the high ratings on IMDb.

Predestination has a great atmosphere, great lighting, and a good production. The acting is decent on all parts, but Sarah Snook shows her versatility as actress playing different roles and different life stages with conviction.

The movie has a good central idea with interesting ethical embedded questions that some people might find daring (that is my case) and other people might find appalling or even shocking. Also, there is an ambiguity in the film that, at least in my case, kept me wondering whether all was happening in reality, was just a sort of hallucination or perhaps half-half.

Unfortunately, neither the ethical questions nor the ambiguity are explored to the fullest and, the worst thing is that the script is predictable is you are an usual science-fiction watcher, even if you aren't, so not especially exciting.

Don't take me wrong, this is an enjoyable film to watch, but right in the middle regarding everything except for Snook's brilliant performance.",6
"Nice to see a series where it is not the standard story of superheroes saving the day. Many of the characters are well thought out, i'm a real fan of both Frenchie and Kimiko.

It is a pity that especially in season 2 political topics have the upper hand. In my opinion coming down too much on these topics does not do a movie or a series any good. Constant reminders of antisemitism, racism, sexism, and feminism feel like they were added after the story had been fully written - as though they were added last second. I've rated the series 7/10 but if they took it easy on the politics that could have been 9/10.",7
"I was so eager to watch Dunkirk as i'm a WW2 fanatic! 20 min in to the movie and I knew it was going to be a boring ride. War movies should make the audience feel and sense the suffering of the soldiers, it should go under your skin, but this one was completely no feeling show.

Silly dog fights, very artificial smoke, actually one of the BF109 got hit on the right wing and smoke blasted from the left one!

What a waste!!

I only gave it 2 stars for the boat scene where the Germans were practicing shooting their weapons.

Other than that, a big ZERO.",2
"Imagine Sandra Bullock and George Clooney's mediocre acting placed into a film that has almost no storyline at all and is held together with fairly poor dialogue and you will wonder why Gravity was watched by anyone at all, never mind enjoyed by audiences and critics alike.

The answer is simple: cinematography. It is the amazing camera-work that holds this film together. For the most part, the film only has one character in the form of Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) but dull writing and careless acting means that the audience don't even care about her or anything that happens in the film. However, the film is truly orgasmic to look at and you don't have to know anything about cinematography or special effects to know that this film does both of those things right.

Despite the cinematographic porn being displayed on the screen it is difficult to see why this film was so loved because aside from this the film was essentially average.",7
"F. Scott Fitzgerald's words continue to stymie filmmaker's attempts to present a decent rendering of his classic 20th century novel The Great Gatsby. The 26 and 49 version gave it little respect while the big budget 74 treatment suffered from the miscasting of long in the tooth Redford and too wispy Mia Farrow as Daisy, though rumored alternatives Ali McGraw and Sibyl Shepherd may have made it even more of a perilous effort. Enter the 2013 failure under the over baked heat and light direction of Boz Luhrmann's wretched excess.

Given the same application as his insult to the Belle Epoque in Moulin Rouge Luhrmann slaps on the divine decadence of the Jazz Age at a furious pace while attempting in surreal fashion to remain au courant with an ill fitting hip hop score amid his flashy and noisy compositions populated by wind up flappers under car lot lighting.

While the 74 was a disappointment this abrasive lout of a picture is far more of a mess with Luhrmann's response to everything bigger and louder. Even the Valley of Ashes is expanded to the size of Akron. Matching the overall bombast of this carnival (albeit the midway and not a sideshow) are scenery chewing performances led by Len DiCaprio as Gatsby and the rest of the cast following suit with the exception of Tobey Maguire's limp wishy washy Nick Carroway who seems blinded by the light from the outset.

Along with Peter Jackson's botched King Kong, Gatsby is another example of Hollywood's passion for eye popping technology at the expense of story telling and human interest. Unfortunately with the failed 50s gimmick of 3-D catching on these days meretricious offerings like this will probably be the rule for years to come.",4
"After thoroughly loving ""Knocked Up"" and ""40 Year Old Virgin"", I expected to enjoy this Seth Rogan flick. Man was I disappointed! I honestly think this might be the worst movie I've seen in months. I liked freakin' ""Wild Hogs"" more than this movie, and that's saying a lot. I have no idea why all these viewers are so enamored with this movie. It's foul without being funny. I loved knocked up & 40 YOV, they were foul AND funny, like ""me myself & irene"". I HATED this movie completely and without reservation. There were no redeeming qualities and I found myself offended. That takes a lot considering ""Bad Santa"" is one of my favorite movies of all time. I just don't understand what I'm missing.",1
"I've been seeing many movies which their ratings were somewhat manipulated.

This one was one of the most manipulated movies of all time.

This movie should have a rating of 6.7 / 10, but right now it sits around the Top250 because clickfarmers from India are rented by Hollywood to manipulate the ratings.

This is getting out of hand and it should be illegal.

The movie was just abusing the technique: plotwist. It's ridiculous. Cliché after cliché and the plot is so basic, I can barely remember it.",6

"OK, I'm probably one of the very few people that found this film incredibly boring, tedious and predictable.

It felt like I was watching Men In Black V. Terminator 2. I kept expecting Tommy Lee Jones or Will Smith to turn up any minute. The concept of bad(?) guys wearing dark suits and sunglasses and trying to hide the truth from us mortals has been done before in MIB. The concept of computers taking over the world in the future and one person being the saviour was done before in Terminator 2.

It was predictable that Mr Keanu Reeves was the chosen one, yet he would not realise this fate until there had to be a near death scene where the audience were all to believe he was dead, until he realised he was him - the chosen one. There was lots of mush in there about if you know then it will happen, oh please fetch me the sick bucket.

The special effects are OK, not much to shout home about, and definitely did not add anything to the film.",4
"Watching movie has always been my passion ever since I was a child. Among hundreds of movies that I have watched, the series Black Mirror impressed me the most.

The series consist of multiple episodes illustrating the dark side of technological development. For me, although these movies are not too long, they have very profound meanings. In detail each episode shows us how dangerous technology could be either when they fall into the wrong hands or when we are too dependent on it and let it takes over our life. For example, there is an episode in which a boy was forced to do nasty and horrible things so that his secrets, which were stolen from the Internet, won't be exposed.

To be honest, watching Black Mirror knocked me sideways since I have never imagined such scenarios could be possible. Despite knowing that they are only imaginary situation, there is nothing to ensure that they won't be happening in the future in real life. In addition, very few special effects were used, which was according to me, very surprising since they still managed to fully deliver their messages. Another factor contributed to Black Mirror's success is the performance of the actors. Most of the actors are not well-known but they did a great job demonstrating the feelings as well as the personality of different characters. Therefore, viewers could easily understand the gist of each episode.

However, I feel that it is not suitable for certain people since it contains sexulal, nudity and violence content. On top of that, the series may be irritating for sensitive people to watch since in some episodes, the result or the message is quite scary to think about. Another drawback for Black Mirror is that it is not packed with action scenes which sometime might be a bit dull for me.

In short words, Black Mirror gives us a big picture of our tomorrow world experiencing a rapid growth in the field of technology about how dreadful it could be. Although there are several minor cons, I find this series very though-provoking, all thanks to the amazing and creative minds of the director and screenwriter. There is no doubt that everyone should include Black Mirror in their must-watch list. With such meaningful content, I expect this series to gain even greater success in th future.",8

Awesome script and direction. Start to end complete thriller. As always Karthi is extra ordinary. Out of 5 this s the best tamil movie I have watched ever.,9

Can't recommend it enough. 9,5/10.",9
"""Dunkirk"" is the first Christopher Nolan movie since ""Memento"" that I've actually liked, mostly because he does the exact opposite of what he does in most of his movies. Rather than build a baffling, incoherent epic around a concept too ambitious to ever make sense as a movie, he crafts a spare, naked film about a very specific and compressed series of events, namely the military disaster that resulted in the messy evacuation of Allied forces from the beaches of Dunkirk in France.

The film is technically brilliant. Its stars are its editor, composer, and cinematographer, who work seamlessly together to maintain a throbbing pulse of dread throughout the entire film. There are some big stars in the movie -- like Kenneth Branagh, Mark Rylance, and Tom Hardy -- but they mostly blend into the background of the faceless and nameless many who tried to find a way, any way, to get off the beach before the German forces arrived. Nolan can't resist getting up to some of his old tricks, like some mixed up chronology that makes things somewhat disorienting for the viewer at first. But they're used well and serve the story rather than overwhelming it.

I didn't much care for the heavy handed, schmaltzy passages that pepper the later part of the film and feel more like Steven Spielberg than anything that came before it. Indeed, the whole film does feel a bit like ""Saving Private Ryan"" in that it spends most of its running time creating a visceral, almost documentary-like recreation of events and then can't help throwing in some old- fashioned Hollywood sentiment as if the director feels he has to reward his audience with some feel- good pap to make up for putting us through the ordeal of everything that precedes it.

Overall I admired ""Dunkirk"" for its technical craft, but I was mostly left cold by it. It doesn't have any emotional core to it, the feel-good passages aside, which are more bombastic than emotional anyway. There are people to care about in the abstract, but no real characters. These men don't have inner lives, none that we're shown in any case, and that limits the impact of what happens to them. They're representations of men rather than the flesh and blood real thing.

Grade: A-",7
"S1 had three plotlines. The story of Geralt was fantastic. I would have liked an episodic series about his adventures with Jaskier. The story of Ciri was okay, but would have been much better if she had met and formed a relationship with Geralt sooner. The story of Yennefer was least interesting and I'm not sure why it was there.

S2, the quality of writing seemed to go downhill sharply. Bad dialogue and weak plot. Many characters from the books were rewritten or wasted, sadly.",5
"Captain America: The Winter Solider, directed by the best two directors that MCU has on the team, in the Russo Brothers, crafted this well directed, brisk paced spy/action film, that has a lot to be praised for. The Russo Brothers took the MCU style, and completely flipped it into their own, which completely works, while becoming a model film for the MCU. They incorporated this darker and gritter tone, that essentially grounded the film well, while inevitably throwing in some well timed humor. Even though this new approach to the MCU was a breath of fresh air, the Russo Brothers set themselves up for some nitpicks, by transforming some things that were already set and stone, for the most part.

The Winter Soldier does everything that a sequel should do, and that's improve on every aspect from the last film. The creative team told a juicer, more cohesive story, with better character involvement and development, while the action not only took a step up, but became one of the standout films for it's action sequences. Not only did they improve from the first installment, keeping the continuity involved, but they created one of, if not, the best stand-alone films the MCU has put out to date. The creative team utilized so many great layers and depth, to really break everything down, while adding in a tremendous amount of tention throughout the entire narrative.

With Shield being the main focus of the film, I wasn't too sure on how things were going to play out, but because of the Russo Brothers creativity, I was perfectly okay with it! With Shield being center of attention, it allowed for Sam Jackson to have a lot more character moments, which had a heavy hand in the success of the film! Chris Evans is an absolute stud as Captain America and Steve Rogers! He is fleshed out much more, having the best character arch of the film. His character is a lot more complex this time around, other than being that public figure everyone knows him for. Evans steals every scene that he's in because of that genuine patriotism persona he carries, being nothing short of admirable. Scarlett Johansson was also another key contributor to the success of the film. We've seen her in a few films prior, getting a little bit more and more to do as the films go on, and she really sets out her skillset here. With decent chemistry and tention between her and Captain America, and her and Nick Fury, she shows once again, that she is capable of being an Avenger. Anthony Mackie gets his debut in the MCU as Sam Wilson/Falcon, and he is just an all around good addition. He doesn't add much as far as the superhero antics go, but he is a great compliment to Captain America, and the team. The Winter Soldier is a GAME villain! He doesn't have much to say, but his physical presence is quite enough for him to be a decent villain, with a great tie in to the series.

This is probably one of the strongest screenplays by Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus. They wasted no time after The First Avenger, to hop right into the screenplay for this film. McFeely and Markus added a great amount of wit to this script, by making everything cohesive to the story, while incorporating some dialed down, yet sharp humor. They added a great deal of politics to the narrative, that isn't just all in your face; it flows extremely well with the story, feeling authentic.

The action of the film was definitely the driving force of the film. All of the action scenes were shot so well, with many exciting and gritty action sequences! The Russo Brothers executed the hand-to-hand combat in such a professional way, and it just looked fantastic! The visual effects weren't heavily relied on, like they usually are, but when they were present, everything looked seamless.

Overall, there is no reason why this film shouldn't be at the top of your list; one of the best the MCU has to offer !",8

Secondly, I should say just 1 thing about this movie - i think that those guys who voted this movie with marks < 8 are racist; i couldn't find any explanations. I started to see this movie by curiosity because i have some relatives who suffers by Asperger. Khan remembered me of them and remembered me of the racism which is met in my country : Romania. He couldn't(my cousin is the victim) go in a normally school. The only way he could be normally as others was to go in Italy where he got a normally treatement. And, my last pleasure for all the guys is to stop the racism : don't hate jews,musulmans,black people,gipsies etc.",10
The Story which hold the emotions for every common Man..!! Nagraj Manjule Sir.. Salute you and Huge respect for new realistic storyline.. Class Acting From Big B.,10
"Being a huge Tarantino fan I must say this movie is nothing like his classics. The story is absolutely mediocre. The only thing going for the movie is Di Caprio. Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt and dozens of cameos are wasted. I was quite excited to see Pitt and Caprio sharing the screen for the first time with each other but this movie is really the pits (pun intended). What I don't understand how the critics and audience are still loving it?? Tarantino flavor kicks in only for the last 10 mins but in the end, the movie left a sour taste. I think tarantino wanted to play god. Make a bad movie and still get accolades for it. And he did! And he was God!!! Not anymore! It breaks my heart to say it.",5
"In just a word it was the best movie in the captain America trio, but the sense of humour in the movie was a bit awful...

I mean to say, the UN how can blame Avengers for dying of innocents, during their fights?

Every one knows with whosoever with the Avengers are fighting, no one in the world can, if the Avengers won't save them there would be much more causalities, is it not good if they get save a fraction?

I accept that they let Ultron destroy sokovia, but if they have not took an action everything might have end..

so there's a bit sense lacking that such a big organisation like UN would actually not do, blaming Avengers, instead of seeing what they have done for all.

I'm with Cap.

All hail Cap!

Got really amazed at the end when it came to know that bucky killed Howard and Maria Stark, and it was the only sense part of the movie for Tony getting angry and beating Buck.

But overall the movie lacked sense, they prisoned the mighty heroes who saved the world.",9
"No words could possibly explain just how much I love avatar and how important it was to me as a kid and still is. It taught me so much about life, about how to have empathy with others and the world around me. 10/10 rating isn't nearly high enough!!!",10
"I watch it because of all the hype and great reviews. Ended up very disappointed because its super slow and don't expect to see zombie in every ep. Its more of a slow love story during the apocalypse and nothing more.

My 3 stars are for the first couple of episodes where its ""ok"" to watch.

Some of the details didn't make any sense and some story have no point moving forward.

I was waiting for it to be good until EP 7 And nothing change.. still very slow and became a little boring. So I decided to write this review and I can't continue anymore.

I wish theres an option to see how old are the people who gave those 10 stars review. I guess this might be their first zombie movie review.",3
Unless you are a die-hard Anniston fan or Sandler fan. I like them both but not enough to sit through this movie over again. I barely got through it.,4
True Justice to the script. Wonderful Direction to every team. Amazing Casting. Each character is like born to do that. Simple but gripping. Family Treat except MLA Part (script demand). Overall 4.9/5.,9
"A shockingly bad adaptation. Given that I haven't read the book, but as is always the case with classics, 1 knows the story fairly well without ever having done that. The fault with the movie is mainly the direction, the book and the story has a certain vibe to it, a vibe that the movie tries to capture, but the tricky thing about vibes is that they are quite hard to create on screen, and even harder to maintain. 1 simply doesn't feel the flow of this movie, it tries, but scenes and the shots and the cutaways just don't line up as they should. Added to which the acting is very bad, yes it's true, despite the all star cast the acting is very bad. Everybody is bland and empty, it's like watching people recite lines, there are a few good scenes but most of it is dull. I'm keen to blame this on the director, clearly there was a sense of miscommunication somewhere. Or perhaps it was the sets that failed to pull them into character, they certainly failed to pull me into the movie.The whole thing looks like it was done in a sound stage with cheap CGI to fill in the cracks. In short, it's a bad adaptation of an interesting novel.",3
"Don't compare it with got. R.R Martin has created a different era and this is different and yes it deserves to be binged because of good story writing, exquisite cinematography and stunning caste.",9
"Postmodern treatment of the scenario that mixes 2020 modern parental concerns and medieval behaviour makes no sense, you can see parents spending times with children like we do nowadays after school. They check on their home work, please give a kiss to dad and mum before going to bed, brush thier teeth...I was waiting for the Queen to summon her kids to stop spending time behind a screen because social networks were bad for their mental health. Moreover the willingness to be seen as a post metoo scenario is so obvious and unrealistic that makes the plot totally dull. Over all it is quite boring and predictible. GOT got fare more GUTS !",2
"The enthusiasm which has greeted this film is for the large part so very well-deserved that nothing should be said to take the edge off it. The 'Batman' comic series has evolved into a adult-orientated crime thriller, pitching cops against crooks and the caped vigilante. The star turn of Heath Ledger (as the Joker) frighteningly transforms a once comical character into a sinister psychopath reminiscent of Silence of the Lambs.

The technical scope of the film (using IMAX cameras for the opening scenes) is impressive, and the script is scintillatingly up-to-the-mark – far outperforming usual expectations for action films.

The weak points are that it will be overly long for some viewers. Other than Ledger, the star cast of Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Maggie Gyllenhall is woefully underchallenged; whereas Christian Bale as Batman is less than convincing for someone who should have peak physical and mental alertness, even with a vast array of 007-like gadgets. It should be clear to anyone that director Christopher Nolan (of Memento fame) is more likely to make good blockbusters than original art-house movies such as his early promise showed. But at least they are good blockbusters!

Dark Knight succeeds by reaching out to viewers that would not normally go to see a Batman movie – and satisfying them. There are many political and moral subtexts which some viewers will find challenging. This is a definite cut above the average Saturday night entertainment.",6
"The Dark Knight Rises is supposed to be and hopefully is the last of writer/director Christopher Nolan's Batman series. The first film in the series, Batman Begins, I know I gave a perfect rating, but after seeing it a second time, all the imperfections and things I thought were good the first time I saw the film, all turned out to be bad and I had no idea why I even liked it in the first place. The second film in the series, The Dark Knight, was a different reaction from me completely. I thought that it was a great film. I liked how instead of a lot of action and special effects we were given a great character study with a much worthy Oscar winning performance by Heath Ledger as The Joker. The film was extremely dark and bleak and by being so, it avoided all things that could be predictable, or cliché. It was an excellent character study and was very entertaining as well. Now we come to the much awaited third and supposedly last film in this franchise, The Dark Knight Rises. I did have higher hopes about this new one since Nolan achieved perfection with The Dark Knight, but as it turns out I wish I had saved my ten dollar admission fee and done something else instead. Pretty much everything I can think of about The Dark Knight Rises was bad. The acting here is all very limp and flat and doesn't make us care, or connect to any of these characters whatsoever, so it is very hard to feel, or care what happens to them. The film is the longest in the series and you can certainly feel that. It really drags along and several times during the film I wish I would have checked my watch in the darkness of the theatre to see when this thing was over. It just dragged for a very long time. Probably my biggest problem with the film lies in the story however. The script for this film was all over the place. It had non sequitor after another and just these events that did not make one ounce of sense and it all felt extremely out of place. The last half of the film felt almost surrealistic in a way and it was all handled very badly. It all seemed so ridiculous and stupid that I literally could not believe what I was watching before my eyes. The first thoughts that came to my mind was that Nolan and company did not know how to end this series and were blowing any credibility they had along with it. It all just feels so out of place, unbelievable and silly. It's not that it was particularly hard to follow, I felt I got it, but there was not a whole lot to get. It was just a terribly mangled set of ideas that were not put in the final product well at all. Nolan seems to be really big on the scene right now after these Batman movies and Inception (which I wasn't particularly fond of either) and I just hope he can figure out how to construct story lines and characters better and maybe try his hand at a different genre after these because from The Dark Knight and even an earlier film like Insomnia, he does show talent, it's just that this last attempt did not work. I will continue to give his work a chance though and hope he improves as a writer and director. To say this Batman franchise was a failure, would not be accurate. The Dark Knight, I think set a personal best among superhero films and he is to get the credit for that. With that film he achieved perfection in a summer time blockbuster that also appealed to the art house crowds and to people who would normally never see a Batman film. He did that by using a great story and actors and by making it bleak and dark and really grabbing us and forcing to deal with our emotions and that of the characters and he succeeded phenomenally. I would still have to call The Dark Knight Rises the worst film I have seen this year so far and I will probably never watch it again and for my personal advice to Christopher Nolan, is to not put too much in to one story as to overcrowd it and just focus more on characters and believability and less on special effects and making ""epic"" films. I know he will succeed in the end, just not with this film.",4
"Southpaw

The reason left-handed people live shorter lives than right-handed people is mainly due to stick shifts.

However, manual transmission is not even close to the cause of death in this drama.

After the accidental shooting of his wife (Rachel McAdams) at the hands of a rival boxer's (Miguel Gomez) posse, World Light Heavyweight champ Billy Hope (Jake Gyllenhaal) goes into a tailspin that ultimately costs him custody of his daughter (Oona Laurence).

To get her back from The State, Billy recruits a weathered trainer (Forest Whitaker) to whip him into shape for an upcoming bout with the pugilist responsible for obliterating his world.

While Gyllenhaal draws you in with his knockout performance as the struggling single dad, the training montages, specialty punch, and cantankerous coach cause this comeuppance tale to become nothing more than a formulaic boxing movie.

Besides, I thought we vaccinated children from getting left-handedness years ago.

Nothing redeeming about episode 1 - snooze fest. the utterly jarring and unnecessary sound track is very annoying,2
"The movie is supposed to be the life of Nash. It is not. It is a sanitized air brushed fallacy. Part of a beautiful mind is a mind that cares about others, doesn't abandon women he impregnates of a ""lower class"", doesn't get arrested in bath house raids for public indecency and of course no mention of the long divorce. Not so beautiful a mind. A beautiful snowjob.

The acting is good, and the production excellent, but I harbor a particular contempt for movies that lie about real historical people. But it did make some 170,000,000 dollars. Hollywood just lies and lies and lies. It's a cultural narcotic.",6
"My first movie in 2019 and what could have been better than watching a movie on the surgical strike that India executed on our spineless neighbour, Pakistan. The subject is something which is close to the heart of every Indian and from that stand point it is a must watch.

However, if you look at the movie in isolation, well...I must say I was disappointed. But let me point out the positives first...

1. The background score is good 2. The music is decent 3. There were atleast 4 occasions in the movie when the audience started applauding and you could feel how close the subject is to the heart of us Indians. 4. Vicky Kaushal is good 5. Make up of a few actors to make them look like Narendra Modi, Manohar Parrikar, Rajnath Singh & Arun Jaitley is outstanding.

Negatives:

1. The manner in which we've dealt with the subject looks very superficial. I don't think any real research went into making of the film. From whatever I've read on the surgical strikes, many details provided in the movie are factually inaccurate. 2. Dramatization in the movie is unnecessary & predictable. I personally felt a little irritated towards the end. 3. Yami Gautam's acting in the interrogation scene is outright poor (to say the least). I can think of many other actors who could have done a far better job. 4. Kirti Kulhari looks lost in the movie and her role is absolutely irrelevant & unnecessary. 5. Paresh Rawal is a let down as well. 6. The person incharge of the operations giving vital Intel to the commander in Kashmir from an Auto Rickshaw in Delhi with the driver listening to him is hilarious & the low point in the movie. 7. Dialogues are bland & doesn't evoke any emotions.

Overall, if you don't look into the technicalities, you should go and watch it. Our emotional connect to the subject might make you like the film.",5
"First 15 min full of mistakes. Car damaged, car not damaged, wairs a cap, not a cap... so on and so on... not a good beginning for the movie.",6
"It's a tv show for teens. Quite boring and cringy for my 20 year old pea brain, and I usually am able to binge watch almost anything.

As others have already said, visually it's amazing. Beautiful cinematics and atmosphere. But the acting and plot were obviously not their main focus when producing this show.

Interactions between characters, especially the main vampire and witch, made me really uncomfortable. The unrealistic dragging way of walking and talking, the stalking and the staring at each other, they all reminded me of either twilight or some other bad romance-vampire tv show for teenagers.

I also felt like the plot had no flow, like the scenes were just thrown together to either drop some information or to show off something.",6
"Simple yet full of heart, Panchayat tells the story of an engineering graduate dissatisfied with his appointment as the Secretary of a rural North Indian village's local governance body. He begins studying for exams to commence management studies and escape his predicament but must simultaneously navigate relationships with the village chieftain and his assistants as well as deal with the complaints and grievances of the populace.

Like many of TVF's productions, Panchayat nails its setting brilliantly. It is able to capture the sense of familial belonging so characteristic of small remote villages while also highlighting the bureaucratic barriers, political realities, financial challenges, petty conflicts, superstitious mindsets, and conservative outlooks. One can dispute the accuracy of the portrayal but the very grounded nature of the story and the vividity with which the scenes are shot and realized are essential features contributing to the show's memorability. The acting from the entire cast is effective, though special praise is due to Raghubir Yadav and Neena Gupta who excelled in their roles as the village chieftain couple.

Where the show falls short however is the lack of focus given to the people of the village as a means to put the obstacles and difficulties prevalent in rural India in the spotlight. This is because business in the panchayat office is largely glossed over and instead the audience only views notable events impacting the self-centred protagonist. Some of the comedic elements feel overly exaggerated, such as in the instances of the monitor theft or passport photo-taking, and the lead character's constant irritation and annoyance can get rather grating.

Panchayat is nonetheless a wholesome feel-good tale that may develop to something greater with coming seasons. It might however be hard to appreciate for an international audience unfamiliar with the demographics of urban and rural India. But for those who're keen to learn about those aspects or in general enjoy a well-crafted heartfelt story and setting, it should make for a rewarding watch.",6
"Why this show works for me?

1. Great writing: First and foremost Pitchers has some amazingly written lines and a tight screenplay. There are very few dull moments if any!

2. Intelligent content: The show doesn't explain everything and leaves certain things for the user's discretion. TV in our country has not been able to think about its audience as intelligent. The guys at TVF certainly do and this is why this show works!

3. Wonderful ensemble cast: The entire casting is fresh and though repetitive with TVF regulars, the casting works perfectly. Gems like Yogi and Mandal will remain with me for a long long time and it is attributed mainly to the actors playing them.

4. Production Quality: TVF's previous content has been plagued on the quality front probably because of lack of funds/resources. This series is top-notch quality and can give any show globally a run for their money in terms of their production aesthetics.

5. Music : Just like Permanent Roommates (another TVF original) this show has very hum-able tracks by Vaibhav which go with the show + the background is fabulous.

On basis of the above 5 points + the motivation the show provides to budding entrepreneurs like me I have this show a 10/10 on IMDb. And yes TV must have a look on this if they want to stay relevant!",10
"This is indeed C. Nolan's movie which I liked least among all I watched. And I watched all his Batman movies, and was not impressed, except with Begins. Surely very high budget, impressive cast, and I actually like all them, but this was simply too pretentious, and full with scenes which actually had nothing with story flow.

I even could not call this sci-fi, because whole idea of multiplied time-flow speed in dreams in dream(s) is simply impossible, and is too much even for Hollywood, who does not care much for some scientific accuracy.

Add to it length of some 2.5 hours, while whole story is not complex at all. After some years, I basically don't remember almost anything except main part of plot, and that silly scene of shooting on street, what was so utterly pointless.

Still, I will not rate it with 1-2, as many did here, because visually it looks very well, direction is good most part. Acting too.

Could be most overrated movie ever ...",5
I absolutely hate these movies that Netflix produces. They are a drama movie staged in a sci-fi setting but where no real background or answer are given to the main antagonist of the movie. The story is just stagnant through the whole movie and it's just a prolonged nothing-really-happens movie. But great acting though!,4
I lost everything that the movie had to offer within the first thirty minutes. Nothing special ever happened until the ending cut scene.,2
"Shazam is fun and family friendly. It has a few genuinely laugh out loud moments. The concept of a teenage boy in a grown man's body evokes a bit of Spielberg-ian magic. I particularly enjoyed the allusion to Tom Hanks' ""Big"" featuring one of those floor pianos.

The backdrop of foster homes also provides poignant moments that tug the heart strings. My favorite performance was the father in the foster home.

Tonally, the film feels off. The antagonist's power is derived from 7 demons representing the 7 Deadly Sins. This is interesting but feels out of place. The only other mythology the film mentions is Shazam's powers (strength of Hercules, power of Zeus, etc) . This combination of christianity, Ancient Greek mythology, and wizard magic just felt strange. Also the movie would've benefitted greatly by shaving 30-45 minutes off the runtime.

Overall it's worth seeing if you're a fan of the genre or have kids who are. Everyone else, you're not missing much",6
"If the ratings were annoying and boring. Such a nothing movie. The acting was good but apart from that simply plain, boring and I found the characters just annoying and I didn't feel for them at all. I wish they died an hour into the film.",3
"First review. Because this movie is totally overrated ! I love musical movies, but what on earth happened for it to be so praised ? Just had to watch a few sequences from My Fair Lady after to be sure my judgment was not wrong. That is a great musical. Not this. Another Oscar winning movie who will appear in 10 years in the ""Movies that shouldn't have won"" list. You don't make a good or great movie because you do it in the style of the great ones. And even that should you have a good story ! And good songs ! Even in this area, i could not remember one ! And you don't feel any connections with characters. In short terms : don't waste your time !",5
"Tom Hank's performance is top. But what I disslike about this movie is that there is so much violence towards women. The is not a single woman in this movies that leads a normal life, and I find that disturbing.",5
"Loki is clearly set up to be a humorous series. So in that it does a good job. Some of the jokes like the FB Sweeney lose the joke when you explain it. Overall I will watch more. Hopefully not another ten minutes of watching Loki and Owen watch ""The Loki greatest hits show"". Interested in seeing where this goes!",7
"For me its a well crafted long term story line in the marvel universe.Well crafted in the sense that fan boys will like just enough not go crazy about the artistic license taken and approachable for soccer moms to watch with her kids/40 ish husband. Fun easy and charming, plus the marvel values are well presented in various shades of gray. Worth a watch , keep going or not its up to you. Enjoy have a nice day.",8
Even though it missed out another from the manwha still really good. Animation is top quality and the characters are great,8
I like story line. Movie background music very best. Unique story line. Ratsasan actress acting very good i like it. One of the best movie best psycho killer movie.,10
"I mean seriously without going into spoilers and explaining this reason and that reason like everyone else has already done, i will just say this movie was bad. Not super horrible but not great either. I can't believe this movie gets rated this high on here. I mean this movie is rated higher than just about every single marvel movie. All 3 captain America films, iron man, guardians of the galaxy. It's even rated higher than other dc movies like batman 1989, bataman returns and superman.

Just a total nonsense rating it gets.",4
"Apparently Marvel has decided to do away with scriptwriters and use a committee of 10 year olds to write their movies, judging by this horrid example. The CGI was excellent; that's all that was even halfway decent.

Paul Rudd is a perfect person to head this failure, since he can't act and isn't funny; the situations he's put into require a good actor and a comedian, but he just can't pull it off. Michael Douglas, Laurence Fishburne and Michelle Pfeiffer can act, but they don't get much opportunity. I'll see them again, in something worth watching; I'm sorry that they are in this incoherent mess, but I assume they've been well paid, and their reputations won't suffer much for this one stinker.

The worst part of this film is that every once in a long while I got a tiny glimpse of something that might have been very good; but there's no drama, no suspense, no comedy, incoherent action, the timing is all wrong, and the many forced jokes all fall flat. Even Stan Lee's cameo didn't earn a chuckle. There's a lot of glittering fluff, but I couldn't bring myself to care about any of the characters- well, no: I did care about Ant-Man Paul Rudd. I wanted him to get lost, and not to be found, and to forget that I'd ever seen him! That might be partly the fault of the writers, who wrote his part making him stupid and having him act like a moron, or maybe it was his idea; it didn't help the film whoever is responsible.

If you have the choice of watching paint dry or this movie- choose the paint. It'll be more satisfying and memorable! This film was simply boring, and I was relieved when it was finally over.",2
"There are a lot of viewers out there that may look at this film and decide that is was a little boring and drawn out. Well, if you're a Harry Potter fan and watch this film in the context of all the others in the series, hopefully you'll appreciate this movie.

I can say that there was more story line than computer generated wizardry, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. There was still enough action sequence to make this an enjoyable film for a variety of audiences and it certainly appealed to a more mature audience compared to its predecessors.

The majority of the movie has a dark overtone to it and this results in much dire consequences for some of the characters involved in the action. Since the setting has been taken out of wizard world of Hogwarts and has been placed in the real world, the movie makes a stronger connection to the audience.

The only thing I felt this movie could have included more of is the development of the personal relationships between the characters. Though there were some scenes that did push these stories along, the movie did little to give finality to many of the questions the audience has had since the beginning regarding ""who ends up with who"".

Overall, this was a great movie that added deeper tones, drew in newer audiences, and brought the series closer to home. It also certainly did what it was intended to do which is to set up the final showdown.",7
The plot and storyline weren't bad to tell you the truth. It was the basically amateurish cinematography from a director that has had blockbuster films that I found disturbing. There were an unusually large number of mistakes right from the start,6
"The story is okay, and I suppose that's what counts, but since the movie is all about Wonder Woman, you need a fairly awesome female to play her, and, although Gal Gadot has a cutsy-pie face sure enough, realistically she comes up short in the body department - not even close to Lynda Carter's awesome curves and bod, and that is really the story here. She also lacks in the musculature department, also not close to Sofia Boutella (Jayla in Star Wars Beyond), who has a magnificently athletic and muscular body and yet is still feminine and sexy. A cute face is not enough to be Wonder Woman; that mythical Amazon is a lot more than that. I notice, too, that when you compare Gadot's bikini pics with her in her Wonder Woman outfit, they pulled in her waist and pumped up her boobs to give her a sexier appearance, which she doesn't actually have. Body-wise, she's actually quite ordinary; there are many better built models & actresses than her around. Always makes me wonder how they pick these people, and what criterion they use. They're supposed to be getting a muscular, athletic person for this part, and they just got some ordinary model with a cute face - which strains the credibility of the character and therefore the believability of the character and the story. A similar mistake was made with ScarJo for the Major in GITS: beautiful girl, decent actress, physically terrific, but wrong for the part of Motoko because she's not Asian! In fact, she's as far away from Asia as you could get. It's like using Jackie Chan or Jet Li to play Robin Hood - both great physical characters, athletic, good actors, wrong for the part for obvious reasons. They could have done a better job for Wonder Woman than this Israeli actress;; for instance, check out Israeli model Bar Refaeli - much better in every category, physically; at least as beautiful, maybe more so, and a much better body. Don't know if she can act, but you get my point as to what Wonder Woman should look like. How the character physically appears is everything in this story; and Gal Gadot just doesn't measure up, and it's a shame that they have to doctor her physical appearance in the Wonder Woman outfit to give her credibility.",5
"House of the Dragon has a lot of what I loved about Game of Thrones, but doesn't quite live up to it's predecessor. The first half of season 1 devotes a lot of (possibly too much) time setting up tensions between characters that aren't very convincing. By episode 5, I found myself asking ""why do these two people hate each other again?"" The second half of the show feels like a different series entirely, and is far superior to the first half. Tensions in the second half feel authentic, and the characters' actions deliver the familiar gut punch I felt watching Game of Thrones. At times, the characters' actions do not make a lot of sense, but this doesn't detract from the show in any major way.

Fortunately, the show doesn't desensitize the viewers with too many dragon scenes, which was my primary concern. Scenes that include dragons feel necessary and appropriate, and I found myself excited to see them every time they were on screen.",7
"I have just seen the third installment and I liked it...but somehow number two is my favourite..

Spiderman 2 - The Best storyline ever! - I thought the Doc Ock was outstanding in this film and certainly picked the right actor to play the part... The movie was just amazing to me since my favourite villain was in it and plus I thought they would off made it a little crap, but no, never, Sam Riami made the sequel brilliant, with some new cast and new directions of spiderman's life, he has certainly got the talent of making a good Spiderman Movie and this one made him a fantastic director.

I hope he does Spiderman 4, third one was good, but could have been a little better, hopefully if he does make the fourth it will have Lizard in it. That Would Be Fun!!!!!",10
"I've tried watching this film three times before and it has never held my attention until the end. After finally watching it, I have three things to say:

1. Spectacular scenery. The special effects are amazing, the camera work deserves an A+ however, that's the only thing I liked about the film.

2. I could predict the outcome of every single scene in the film, the ending was obvious after the first hour and as I expected, character development is close to zero.

3. I counted the clichés in Avatar. A total of 30. Thirty clichés in 2 and a half hours - that's one hell of a record.",4
"This move is basically just made up of different Heist Missions from the video game GTA 5 played after each other without something clear storywise to connect them all together.

To top all of this off Michael Bay tries to make every scene look as cool as possible by having the movie play in Slow Motion every chance it gets

There is def a deeper story there but the movie only scratches on the surface and instead wants to imprese the aduience by what are supposed to be funny one liners and showing cool stunts and blowing up as much as possible

It feels abit unclear if this movie is just somekind of parody or not because it feels like it at times even tho it doesnt say its a comedy movie on the IMDB Page

If your looking for something cool to have on in the background while youre doing something else then this is the movie youre looking for",5
I have no idea what I just watch. It was disturbing yet pleasant Confusing yet satisfying I don't know it was just weird I would definitely never watch it again but definitely would never not consider it. The acting was great the cinematography was great that's why I'm given as 5 stars Other than that the movie sucks but is kind of good,5
"I love DB however there is a reason why I don't rewatch it.

The fights, saga and story is too long. It lasts over 200 episodes to finish off a saga and fight.

Back as a child YTV use to replay DBZ all the time. That means I had to watch 200 episodes for 5 years again and again just to see who wins in the frieza fight.

The only way I knew was when I was grown and searched it on YouTube.

The show is fine for what it is. Its the long-drawn-out fights.

DB on a general whole is not rewatchable because it's a time waster show. Not even being locked down will make me sit through 200 pointless epsiodes of a fight.",8
This is the worst marvel movie ever I can only like 2 thighs about this movie jokes and villains those are the only things I like about this movie nothing else fight me for those 2 stars like the only people who like this movie don't know sh$$t about marvel movies.,2
"If you like shoot em up video games you will like it. Just assume no character development, put any form of reality aside, and try and count the bodies! Definitely some funny bits in it - love the cleaners! Overall though, it's extremely forgettable. For instance, I watched The Equalizer for a second time the other night and thoroughly enjoyed it again. This one I won't bother with.....",4
"So the best humans of the future are a bunch of irritating, selfish idiots? Judging by the writers and actors on this show, I can believe it. Award for worst acting goes to Taylor Russell, who plays the annoying lisping Judy Robinson. Unfortunately as the token black family member, she's unlikely to get killed off. I'm only giving 5 stars because of the robot.",5
"WandaVision is just fabulous, creative mashup of genres and it blows. In first 2 episodes, they used the usual sitcom couple dynamics and clichés of any regular sitcom with Wanda and Vision's unusual powers and its damn funny. There are even laugh tracks to get into the feel. There's mystery, intrigue and much more. Next episode can't come soon enough.",6
"Lots of explosions and gore--no character development all, some wonderful Ed Wood like continuity problems (scenes changed from day to night to day to night even though all the action took place within a few miles of each protagonist). Frankly hard to tell who was who.

The film missed the three major points of interest of Dunkirk-- 1. the bloody resistance the Brits and allies must have put up to keep the Germans at bay long enough for the evacuation to happen; 2. how the order to mobilize civilian ships in the rescue effort was communicated, and some background and insights into the men and women who responded so gallantly; and 3. how Churchill and the folks at home reacted to the news and how Churchill kept everyone's pecker up.

Don't waste your money",1
"As an old Waititi fan, antinazi in the heart I have to say that I am more than disappointed. Not funny at all, nothing new, wannabe Wes Anderson, acting at its worst, specifically young actors. Shame, very bad movie.",2
"If you aren't a Boomer, an Angelino, and a Hollywood insider, this movie doesn't have much to offer. This entire movie seems a reimagining of the end of a schlock era of Hollywood to add in shoulda-coulda-woulda's and other conscience salving Boomer guilt for their abject anti-authoritarianism and hedonistic upheaval of traditional values. This movie is mostly occupied with the empty dialogue that Tarantino is known for -- though here he tries to substitute it for actual content -- as well as a few lascivious and titillating scenes that have virtually nothing to do with the over-arching story or the out-of-left-field conclusion.

Other than the plot, the dialogue, the writing, and the conclusion, this movie shows real skill. The lighting and camera work all show attention to detail, and the actors do well with their performances. But, this movie was written for the Oscar crowd, not for normal folks, not for entertainment or art, not for any other reason than to keep Tarantino's name relevant. Imo, that backfired.",4
"I hate leaving bad reviews so I usually don't! But I can't resist. This movie is boring , boring , boring!

It lost me so bad , that I have no idea what it is the story anymore . Is it a love story? Or is it just a remake of the first movie?

The acting is good I will give it that but man the script is horrible! Ok it also has some funny moments .",3
"""Child is the father of man""- This is a famous quote from William Wordsworth and this quote perfectly suits this movie. I couldn't watch it in theaters because it was not released in a theatre near my home. This is the best Tamil thriller of 2023 thanks to its crisp and clear screenplay.

I was so excited to see Sharath Kumar after a long time. He and Sharath Babu are the top performers in this movie. The production design was also fine and the camera department also did a great job. I'm expecting more thrillers like this in the coming years from Tollywood, this was mind-blowing and the twist in the movie was great than I expected.",8
"The original Lost in Space was very campy and cheesy. This version went for very serious and very tense and pretty cool all the time. It took a little time to get on board. I didn't like what they did with Dr. Smith, but it has added to the drama and intensity. I finished it last night and I think this first season was really set-up and next season they my get to be in more relaxed settings, but maybe not. Many new shows have to always be on the edge every second that you can't hardly breathe. This show is like that. I was sad when it finish. Looking forward to next season. Not sure what all these naysayers are chatting about, it was an excellent thrill ride of a show.",9
"I too can appreciate Kaufman's originality but there has to be more than ""wow,that's really clever"". I thought there were some nearly romantic moments in this film - moments that hinted at some emotional truth - but those evaporated just like the car. The problem here is that everything is so destabilized that what might pass for truth is undermined by the sense that this too will be a trick - and it usually is. Kaufman's films have a million inventive bits that stretch the medium but all this hey-look-at-me stuff pales next to one human moment. Just to make the 10 line minimum - the baby scene was really painful and serves as an example of a writer, director, and actor so caught up and giddy with their own schtick that the film goes off the tracks for 10 minutes.",6
I'm venom fan this movie is awsome i don't know why others did not like this movie And I don't want to spoiler for Tom Hardy.,6
"Whiever created this was involved with multiple drugs. But... That doesn't mean its nit interesting. Its actually pretty good.

Its not the typical marvel superhero but its extremely entertaining.

I would recommend it to anyone who is bored and wants something different.

It starts pretty good not like some of the other tv series that needs a lot of time to develop.

Also the acting of isaac is insane. Great cast!

I hope it continues this way because im very entertained.

And have some good plot twist that makes it even more interesting.

The evil is well played too. And the sounds are great.",8
"I have to start this review by saying that I'm a huge MCU fan. I rewatched all of them maybe once per year. Some of them are great and some of them are decent. But this is The Shiet. I rewatched it a lot of time and the movie still surprises me. The plot is smart,cursive and it's not getting boring despite the movie still being relatively long. Especially when the action starts I find myself on the edge on my seat wondering what will happen. Better than endgame and infinity war? Probably not but it's pretty damn close. I highly recommend this movie to anyone that wants to get more into the marvel universe or just looking for a fun and intense action movie",10
"While the individual pieces of this movie were well constructed, they weren't particularly well assembled. The Matrix tried to be a deep, philosophical work, a techno-thriller and a Hong Kong action movie all in one. The blend just didn't work for me.

And the whole ""hovercraft"" flying around the undercity portion was completely gratuitous.",4
"At this point, I'm tired of movies getting a break because the subject matter is ""important"" and ""socially relevant"". I'll concede this is a high quality movie crafted by professionals to produce a haunting effect on those that watch it. I just tire of watching the debasing of people from a horrible period time and time again. I tire of us giving awards to these films because it is a socially correct action.

I compare this to ""The Color Purple"", another fine movie I refuse to ever watch again. The searing pain of watching people abused washes out any kind of positive movie experience possible. Yes, events like this happened and I can't help the world solve every de-humanizing act or give proper retribution to those that suffered. And I know for a fact that watching it displayed in gripping horror on a large screen is not going to help my coming to terms that I had white ancestors abuse other humans.

It seems the success and recognition of these films is just going propagate similar films until we bleed from watching them. How about a film of nothing but beatings? Throw in a little story, but make sure there are copious amounts of footage showing people getting shredded like cooked meat. Will that be enough? Will it ever be enough? No, I don't think so.

If you want to watch this kind of movie knowing full well what you will be facing because, let's face it - there are no surprises here, then by all means, watch it. Award it. Keep producing more and more filmography offspring. Because, evidently, there are plenty of people that want to continue wallowing in it. I have no appetite for it any longer.",2
"For those who know nothing about anime it should better be on your list of firsts.Except in the last 2 episodes and some scene in third last episode and hardly in some scenes of other previous ones the anime story follows the main story.but the real -2 on the anime is that it is hastily ended on following the manga it ends in a total wreck.besides that the main characters are excellent ; well connected to the story , the story-line is strong and the animation is good.what makes this anime good are the characters of the story line,they are complex as well as fairly simple to understand and feel for.the story line since is a monthly shonen so,doesn't suffer much stretching as for most of the weekly ones and has a sense of flow to it.It has everything you'd expect from a sword,dark fantasy tragedy anime and much more.

so if you are anime fan and like to watch it i think you should skip last two episodes and continue the story-line with manga.",8
"There's not one likable character in the whole show, so I really didn't care if they lived or died.",5
"Its not as bad as 1/10 or as good as 10/10.

good parts: henry cavil, fight choreography and lot of locations are really good. dandelion is funny :D

bad parts: writing and character building is mediocre. wish they didnt cram so many major plot lines just in 1 season and took time in world building. (this is my major gripe and i am sure this why lot of people are having issue with the show )

also show never tells how witchers and magic users dont age like normal people in the starting episodes but they use timejump story telling where henry and yenn looks the same in both the timeline. i think newcomers to the show will get confused.

They did not do a good job with Yenn + geralt plotline. i never bought any of it and most of it makes no sense if u think in geralt's perspective in this show. they could have spent more time on it developing that arc as its really important. as a result there was no chemistry between those 2.

costume design and CGI is mixed bag for me. nilfgardian armor is pretty much a joke and might annoy lot of people. sword fights and simple human battles are really well made but monster fights are hit or miss.

i honestly thought they could have avoided lot of spectacle and saved budget in 1st season and setup the world lot better than this.",1
"Sorry but watching this film was almost as bad as watching 'the eternals'. It was like watching a film made by people that spend all day every day, staring at their smartphones, looking at social-mediocrity, completely detached from reality - and coming up with a film story that JUST ticks boxes about how to come up with a film story! But thinking it's great, because ... they think it's really, really great coming up with a film story that's really, really great ... 'blue-steel' ... What's going on Marvel?",2
"This show is all over the place! It has an out of place political message, a shoved in your face racial message, a villian with forgettable motives and awful acting and Sam JUSTIFYS her actions!

Althought reading Shang Chi reviews i don't think you got the memo!",4

"I chose to go and see this on a cold damp Tuesday evening because I remember a bad experience watching the previous Harry Potter last year. I foolishly went on the Saturday of the opening week and the cinema was packed. It wasn't until the interval that I finally managed to threaten the teenager behind me enough to stop him kicking my seat all through the second half. But that was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… I must take some of my pills. Here's a very brief summary before I tell you what I thought of this one (summary haters please hide the chosen one in a forest while I write the next paragraph).

Lord Voldemort and his followers have taken over the Ministry of Magic and are hot on the trail of Harry Potter. Those loyal to him try to move him to a safer location, but they are betrayed and some of their number are killed or injured. After a further attack Harry, Ron and Hermione escape and decide to go it alone. They have discovered that one of the remaining Horcruxes is at the Ministry. Posing as three of the members of the Ministry they manage to steal the Horcrux, but have no way of destroying it. In his will, Dumbledor has left each of them an item that could help. Harry has been bequeathed the snitch he captured in his first game of quidditch as well as the Sword of Gryffindor which is currently lost. Hermione discovers that it is possible that the Sword could destroy the Horcrux. A mysterious light leads Harry to the sword and they are able to destroy the Horcrux. There a three more to be found and Lord Voldemort is becoming more and more powerful as time goes on. I have missed an awful lot out, but those are the salient points and, I hope, very few (if any) spoilers.

As we have come to expect, this is a beautifully made film, although much darker than the others. It was nice to see the three main characters out in the real world for a change. I love the animation that was used for the explanation of the meaning of the Deathly Hallows, beautifully done! Great performances all round, particularly from Daniel Radcliffe as Harry, Rupert Grint as Ron and Emma Watson as Hermione. All are growing into fine actors.

As you may notice from reading my summary (assuming you weren't hiding in a forest), that a knowledge of all of the previous six episodes does help when watching this instalment. I did find it a bit hard to get into at first, but was soon enthralled again. The scenes in the ministry did remind me a little of Terry Gilliam's 1985 film Brazil and there are more than hits of 'The Lord of the Rings' throughout. Over all, a very good film and one I heartily recommend.

My score: 8.3/10",8
"The Tarantino fanboys must be smoking acid-dipped doobies to give this bore-fest so many 10/10 reviews. Pointless, meandering, and incredibly self-indulgent. I really couldn't care less about how 'meta' this is; it's a film about films made for students of film (and QT himself) however the reality is that absolutely nothing of interest happens for at least 1.5hrs and i literally nearly fell asleep at one point. Tarantino seemingly believes his own hype these days and judging by the comments on here he can do no wrong. Well he just did by making one of the most soporific and disjointed pieces of crap I've ever been unfortunate enough to suffer. Have a word with yourself, Quentin.",3
"Loki, a potential destroyer of worlds and murderer (as in the original Avengers film) is reduced to a whimsical and likeable rogue in this fuzzy, surreal character analysis of a multi-versed Loki. This has gone the way of so many similar films - Joker (he really was just a mistreated little boy), Maleficent (really was trying to do good, I mean honestly).",6
"LA LA LAND's pretty darn entertaining. Who'd've ever thought Hollywood could get America to love Bollywood. Ingenious. But I think it deserves special note for its unassailably politically correct sensitivity to every sort and sub sort of diversity anyone could conceive of and Casting could supply. About half way through, I started imagining a small army of assistant directors behind the scenery during every crowd scene, waiting to pounce onto the sets between takes to make sure that no other heterosexual, mono-racial couple except the two stars was anywhere near pulling focus. OK, Hollywood, we get it. Now what? Is everybody happy?",5
"Ill-conceived, toothless satire riddled with embarrassingly unfunny, immature jokes that I couldn't help cringing at. This was my opinion of after an hour of watching Jojo Rabbit. The only merits I found in the first hour of the film are the undeniably decent performances, the stunning cinematography and the impressively colourful production design that bleeds into the costumes as well. Even the ""sweet' and ""charming"" moments were hit-or-miss for me.

After the first hour, I can say that I found myself touched and moved out of the blue. I figured out that the film dramatically is quite effective. And if that says anything, it's that the dramatic set-up is actually great but Waititi's insistence to convince us, in a most factitious and pretentious way, that his film possess the punch, which it claims to be having, utterly blinded me of its emotional heft, which it definitely there, and it did take me off guard.

What's more off-putting than the cringe-worthy, infantile humour and the lame attempts at satire is that it tries to conceal its toothless satire behind the fact it's told from the perspective of a 10-year-old boy, which is true but inadequate and even kinda irrelevant, and the fact Waititi tried so hard to make it work satirically is the ultimate proof.

The film also suffers from jarring tonal shifts, but I think this is a relatively minor issue. Maybe it's too generous of me to give this film such rating, but I can't deny how emotionally impactful it ended up being. Also, Thomasin McKenzie. WOW!

(6.5/10)",6
"Seriously, Fan was as exciting to see as it was to imagine. This movie is amazing, crazy and also, totally different from what SRK is known for. The movie shows how a common Delhi boy who is so-so crazy for his idol Aryan Khan (who also looks like him and that is scary!) breaks all limits to meet him. The depiction of fan Gaurav is so beautiful that sometimes I forgot that SRK himself was playing that role. The star Aryan Khanna is egoistic which is a complete opposite of what Gaurav is. This becomes a reason of their clash. The location shifted completely after intermission, which shouldn't have been done. The essence of cuteness and innocence was lost then. Punishing Aryan became Gaurav's mission and his initial image was lost completely. Scary enough was his behavior in the climax. How can a fan forget his life, his parents and adventures in order to punish his idol? this was exaggerated. But I hope the climax won't disappoint you. Ultimately the fan dies and leaves behind a memory of regret for his idol.",7
"What this movie is really trying to say...

Sandra Bullock is very fit for her age. George Clooney is so cool in a spacesuit. We deserve to win awards because we care about realism in this science fiction. We did this and that research and training with real space professionals etc.

What this movie ended up saying...

Hollywood has its own idea of scientific realism. George Cloony looks old even in a cool spacesuit.

Oh, and, there's crazy amount of space junk up there - which will one day come back to bite all of us down here. All it takes is a meteor, or an X-flare, and a chain reaction. When that happens all a space technician could do?

Panting and spinning uncontrollably in space.

The disasters on the ground produced by this kind of massive space junk apocalypse event will likely kill more people on the ground. Yet we are to focus on one very important haplessly spinning space-walker who could barely save her own very fit physique.

Panting uncontrollably - every step of the way and even after being repeatedly told to calm down and to conserve energy - consumes already dwindling oxygen supply, and shows how untrained, ill-disciplined and unprofessional the astronaut is (and how lazy the writer/ director/ actors are)

Lead character is apparently a certified emotionally-unstable and technically-mediocre, panicky, random-button-pushing astronaut. Still given the job. What an insult to real astronauts.

At least 40-something Bullock tried her best to look 35 and succeeded. 100% silver hair and nonathletic Clooney looks completely his post-menopausal age, and by any account should not be in a spacesuit, nor strutting about some expensive space station low on insulin supply. Another insult to real younger, taller, fitter than athletes astronauts.

Which brings us to another possibly unintended effect...

China looks like the real space master. Not sure if that's already true in reality. But unlike this ""realistic"" Bullock astronaut, Chinese astronauts would likely read Russian buttons, or at least breathe calmly, and take more calculated risk when in doubt. China certainly won't send a charming but aging male out there and risk their billion dollar investments.

And the plot...

What plot? There is no plot to give away. Just lots of spinning above glorious earth, hyper-diligent space station cockpit shots, panic damsel panting audio, and Bullock's super fit body parts on display.

Scientifically, 'Gravity' is one of the worst ""insult to real professionals"" offender of this decade, especially given the stellar budget and the ""we care about realism"" hype. Just admit it is a blatant Bullock star vehicle and stop elevating it to some hard science fiction pedestal.

And because it is more about ""making Bullock like-able"", it became less about character realism. Apparently female astronaut still needs to pant in damsel in distress style to elicit audience sympathy and to seek daddy figure reassurance just so that she could function coherently. A weak-minded, vulnerable, unfocused female leading character is not my idea of female hero, but designed to be appealing to the Bullock fan crowd. Another annoyance throughout this film for me.

Still, even with all of the above, the movie managed to entertain me due to one single factor: the setting. I just happen to like geographic or space documentary. The movie should be called ""Above Earth"".

Aiming straight at Bullock and Clooney fan club. Watchable for non-science buffs. Will likely annoy hard science fiction fans.",6
"If Hollywood only made movies like this the industry would perish within one year. Such a truly bad movie. To begin with - it wants to be a ""musical"", but doesn't contain even one good song, and both leads can really not sing at all. They just sort of whisper through the lullaby melodies, the way people who can't sing tend to do. The story is more like a premise - it all fits into the logline, and has been done a hundred times before (and better). There is not too much dialogue, not too many details, a lot of walking/swanning about to dubious elevator music. The musical-scenes murder any hope to be able to get into the characters - the end is as weak and unengaging as the rest. So happy I saw this on TV, and didn't pay for it. Otherwise I would have been pissed.

Gosling and Stone, though bad singers, are both very good actors and to know that you need to see ""Fracture"" and ""The Help"" - not this turd of a film.",1
"One of my all time favourites and one of the Coen brothers masterpieces. So good that it led to two subsequent tv series which are both outstanding. Funny, intricate and with wonderful acting by Frances McDormand, Bill Macy and Steve Buscemi in particular. The more times you watch it the more you'll see how good it is. And who'd be without a wood chipper after seeing that scene ?!",8
"I haven't played the games, though, like many people, they're all in my Steam library. I haven't read the books. I never knew they existed.

Having watched this now, I am left with confusion. What is a Witcher? What does the world look like? Are the regions mentioned in the story small or large?

The worst, though, was the timeline jumping. Haircuts and costumes didn't change. The jumps weren't indicated at all. I didn't even realize there were timeline jumps until episode 3.

As for the casting... strong leads, but British accents and colloquialisms are evident fairly frequenty: ""They can mess RIGHT off!""

It's gorgeous, though, with great choreography. That's pretty much it.",6
"The only thing I can find to recommend this is the acting of both principles and possibly the drumming skills of Teller.

Firstly, the idea that drumming can be made into the fine art Fletcher is pretending it can is ludicrous. While the director is to be commended on avoiding the usual Hollywood happy ending, the way it does culminate just leaves the viewer feeling entirely nonplussed.

Even some of Andrew's reactions to Fletcher's behaviour are not realistic. It is similarly hard to credit that such an individual could be allowed keep his job in today's ultra-litigious world.

A complete waste of time. Avoid.",2

"Curse of black pearl is defienatly the best part of this franchise but even in the first one it started to show that some scenes should be removed and also they could give us more screentime for other characters that are important to plot like norrington and less of some minor irelevent guys like guy without eye and his friend that were little annoying,but johnny depp was in top of his game in this one and still very funny",6
This is one of the most overrated movies of all time. There are many films that are better than this film that are way further down the list,3

"Quite cheesy per modern standards, but a step in the right direction compared to the previous film. Peter Parker's character is very well explored in this film, the character's dualism is captured better here than ever before or since.

"The pilot proved itself to be pretty standard modern-day cop fare and moved frustratingly slow.

I came to see Kate and I'll not give up just yet, despite her recent, shameful denunciations of the work she did previously with Woody Allen and Roman Polanski.

Never mind that one of the men is merely accused of something that has never been proven and that the other man's victim called for the case against him to be dropped years ago, how does Kate square the fact that their stories were well-known before she took the jobs in the first place?!

Judging by this pilot, Ms. Winslet's not gone off to discover greener pastures, career-wise.",7
"Wasting three hours on this was quite enough. It's the usual Netflix 10 episode season formula. Why on earth Netflix thinks that dragging things out endlessly to fill that ten hour time slot - like just about every other show they produce - is a good thing is beyond me. In these three episodes I watched there were perhaps 30 minutes of story, if I'm being generous. The rest is Netflix's same old filmmaking-by-algorithm that is starting to get very tiresome by now.

I haven't read the source material, so I can only judge the show on its own merits. It's all style over substance. If you mix X-Men with Watchmen, you're pretty close to this show. Nothing feels original, which I am sure is why the Netflix algorithm gave a green light to this project.

One thing that really stands out is how horrible many of the actors are. Whoever told Mary J Blige she could act, deserves to be slapped. And the same goes for the guy who plays Klaus, who I'm sure they thought would be a comic relief, but it's painful to watch him try and have everything fall flat.",2

"So, what we have here is a game of blame. A blame game that pushes the responsibility for a suicide from the individual to everyone else, almost saying that the decision to off oneself is made by others.

And then, as if to draw the biggest difference between Millennials and everyone else, it almost goes out of its way to say that people don't base their views on what everyone else thinks are wrong for being independently minded.

The message is clear, let others think for you unto your death.",1
"I feel all the characters have very muted expressions. Which is fine if that's what the filmmaker wanted.

"Barbie is the problem with modern Hollywood. I'm not a sexist, but this movie shows how all men are trash. The ending drags so long, just tell ""the message"". There are some gags that landed and the whole theater, packed with girls, laughed, but there were some, where the theatre was quite and i could hear only the fart of the woman sitting next to me. If the main villian Will Farrel, wasn't there, the movie is gonna be a little better, because the villians do nothing and only drag the pace of the movie. Greta Gerwig for the most part, did a pretty good job and the casting is perfect. Ryan Gosling is born for this role and Margot Robbie is great, as i expected. Overall, the movie is not for me. The little girls will deffinely like a lot more, than i did.",4
"As a 90s child I loved The Lion King, it's a classic. Well... what can I say about the new version? The CGI is incredible, but that's all it is. There's no soul, it's boring, and it's politically correct for today's children as they've got to be sensitive to feelings and all. A couple songs were left out, and it's a very forgettable movie, blah",2
"Being attached to Science I can say that The Science was horribly wrong and some over ambitious attempt to show what ever Nolan wants was really a very disappointing part of the movie. But that's not the only thing that a movie offers. Some movies doing wrong with science but doing good at the screen is also become a very good movie. But here is the problem in Interstellar, not only with the science but also messed up with the screen as well.

Inception was a very confusing movie but it was good enough to leave the trace on your mind that you may feel like watching again and again and try to understand. But this time I have no urge to watch it again and I won't. Half of the time it felt like any other Nat Geo documentary film, then it become a real theater film with lots of emotion and love.

The central issue of the film, "" How to save the world"", was not focused properly. In the last 15 minutes Cooper started doing some sort of communication and his daughter saved the world. No time for that but there has been at least a 30 minutes useless stuff with Matt Damon which actually did nothing but just stretch the running time of the movie. In place of that he could have sort out some way to show how actually her daughter ultimately saved the world. But there is an explanation for the end of the movie as I found.

As we are all bound to this 3 dimensional world we can't generally imagine how it will be to travel to and fro in time. We are kind of a 3.5 dimensional, we have time which only go forward. Suppose if I have to go to Mantri Mall from my place I can go in an infinite way. My path is shortest if I take a straightline. But I can travel by a circular eliptical, parabolic or any way I like.

Same way when Cooper was in 5th Dimension, he was seeing the time as any spacial dimension. He could see what's may happen if he takes different possible path in the future. So like my journey from my home to Mantri Mall, I can chose which way will be the best, Cooper had a choice which way in the time dimension can bring the best future for humanity. So, he chose that path (Or the time) and kept feeding information to his daughter. But Why the hell he kept feeding information to his daughet only, because he was bound to his daughter by Love and Love is a artifact in higher dimension blah blah blah. Here is the mess. Nolan showed an infite time scale but didn't show several different events are happening at the same time, that's make very difficult to comprehend the ending of the movie. Nobody got the proper answer how actually Cooper saved the world. The simulation of 5th Dimension in a large scale is great to see, but Nolan was running out of time as he wasted 30 minutes already with a amonia planet and a lot of money before by paying a big million dollars paycheck to Matt Damon to do a small part, which will just show we human will be human will keep fighting arguing with each other whatever we do. He could made the end much more exiting except copying the same Oblivion like planets.

They are also telling Kip Thorne's name to the movie, I have no idea how a Caltech Physicist suddenly suggested a planet so close to Black Hole that we have to take relativity into account, moreover how a space ship and a human being sucked into Black Hole in a piece. If Nolan had to keep so much correct physics in the movie they why he lost the plot fully at the end 30 minutes, making any other melodramatic sci fi movie.

The planets are Oblivion like, the sand storm is Wall-E like. Nolan could have gave little more thought something new about the end of the world or the new planets.

I love Nolan's all the previous movies except Insomnia, it was super boring.",7
"The film looks great, sounds great, some moments are insane. But, there's just no story. Nothing flows, I don't really care about the characters. Most of the film could be left out.

It's like a sewn together timeline of individual good moments, but together it makes no sense.

Not great.

Go see it and make your own judgement though. You might enjoy it. I just didn't.",5

Missed Jitu in the season 2, well played at the same time. No exaggeration, looks like our own stories through out the series. Amazing screenplay. Don't miss, waiting for the third season. Actors chose wisely , and a many real characters. Good thing about this ,it shows the dark side of start ups and it's valuation. No need of profit only increase your revenue. Expected more presence of Ashneer grover. Hope we can see him in the next season's.",10
"So, let me start out by saying that I walked into this movie with the lowest of expectations. After the credits, I walked to the nearest Bakery and purchased the biggest slice of humble pie. This movie exceeded every expectation and was well worth the wait. After the okay sequel of Thor, I expected the same for captain America. Not only was this a great movie, but the best sequel from the Marvel franchise.

So just a quick synopsis: ""Captain America"" struggles to embrace his role in the modern world and battles a new threat from old history: the Soviet agent known as the Winter Soldier. Captain America delivers! His action was subtle in the first movie but they took it up quite a few notches in this one. I couldn't keep my eyes off the screen. And I am so proud of Chris Evans who successfully transitioned from a comedic to a more serious actor. His performance didn't blow me away but he fits well into his CA role. He doesn't take it too seriously but gives a performance that's efficient for the role.

You can tell that not much CGI was used in this film compared to the other Marvel films... but that's what makes it so great! It all felt so real that it could be too real at times. Especially the non-stop action that will keep you on the edge of your seat. If only I could rewind some parts of the movie to review the fighting sequences because they were exceptional.

The acting: All around well done. Scarlett is awesome black widow and Samuel L Jackson delivers what you expect. But I must point out the newcomer Anthony Mackie who deserves a spin-off as the falcon. I've always been a fan of his and it is about time that he is being shown in a huge blockbuster. He rocked as the falcon and I see great potential in his character. Finally, the Winter Soldier was an exceptional villain. He was a bad-ass, very-well constructed and well written. He was a formidable foe against CA and the audience will be pleased with what they see.

In conclusion: go and see this movie. It was money very well spent and it gives the marvel franchise justice. My only issue with the movie was with the 3D. I really do not think that it was needed. Some of the shots were dark and with the glasses made it darker and harder to see. The movie is just as great without them. I hope that Marvel continues to deliver good films like this one because I can now say that Captain America is my new favorite character.",8
"I put off seeing this one because my dad went to Fargo High and I knew it would be weird to see this movie. Then i decided it was time--gee, what a good rep the movie has had to this day. However, my early doubts were sound. Hokey accents and ""character bits""---beginning with the waggy headed blonde cashier. So, that dates this movie. Cuz now we know that the Upper Midwest is populated with regular people, who are not painfully cute in their snowsuits. In fact, audiences moved to penguins, who don't even have to wear snowsuits. As time has gone by we have also grasped the range of William (Pleasantville) Macy. He's gone on to better things. But the caricatures and gruesome psychosis juxtaposed with inept human greed and self-centered myopia---ah! it is a diversion. And it is very agreeable to watch Frances McDormand work. The Coens seem to have gone in, done their job and pulled out. A directorial road movie in which the repetitive snowy road goes through mood changes--same road, but the story has altered its meaning. At the end, it's comfortingly familiar. I feel the skeleton of a better movie here. Like Peter Jackson's animated bugs in ""King Kong"", the smiling heads of quickly daubed ""local color"" wouldn't be missed. There's good stuff, and it's just off the road a bit, that beautiful straight, snowy road.",3
"I'm a astrophysics geek so details in sci fi programmes are uber important. But remembering the adventures of Robinson Crusoe....i think the writers wanted to keep things as light as possible. It's no west world and even star trek got loads of things inaccurate. It's an easy weekend entertainment to binge on....toby is cute, dr. Smith and the Argentinean guy are not bad either. The kids aren't even annoying",6
"I watched it after the famous car meme, my friends told me that the show is slow, but for me it was not slow , and also there are so much negative reviews about this show where people say they are selfish etc and I think that made this show better than normal world saving superheroes, still there are people who thinks people with super power have no life of their own, If there were superheroes in real life they definitely would be selfish and will have so much dramas, I really liked the show, waiting for season 3",8
"Awesome web TV show one of my favorite TVF Pitchers is an Indian web series created by The Viral Fever and developed by Arunabh Kumar.

The first season consists of five episodes and premiered online on The Viral Fever's content portal TVFPlay on 3 June 2015

Story of Pitchers over a pitcher.

"India has for far too long gotten a very bad reputation due to all of the Bollywood drivel that comes out of it. Most if not all of it is tacky, gaudy, meaningless trash which almost like disrespects its viewers by making such crap. But then came Panchayat which has single handedly so to speak brought the Indian movie/film/shows realm on the international/Oscar worthy landscape. This show is absolutely incredible from not just a story line perspective but even its cinematography and down to the color grading...all of it is pure perfection. And then there is the music...THE MUSIC. The music director has done such an incredible job at bringing each scene and mood to life with the most well thought out sonic canvas painted beautifully with almost perfect notes.

The music seems to be heavily influenced by Gustavo Santaolalla and I ain't complaining. This show is Emmy and Oscar worthy and I wish it gets more publicity outside of India. The only reason I give it 9 stars instead of 10 is because of Jitendra Kumar. For some odd reason people are hailing him to be as some sort of Daniel Day Lewis of India but I honestly find his acting to be painfully mediocre. He has the same expression for 90% of the scenes...this open mouthed half flabbergasted look or his hands on his hips with pelvis sticking out like a pregnant woman type of reaction to most things. In a show with heavyweight legends like Raghuvir Yadav and Neena Gupta and even incredible actors who played Vikas and Prahlad and even Banrakas.... Jitendra's acting feels so annoying and mediocre that I find it to be a big miss for this show. I wish they had gotten a better actor from the Film and Drama school or somewhere else or ANYWHERE as a matter of fact. Anyone than Jitendra as he does no justice to this amazing show. Apart from that gripe, I LOVE this show and this needs to be seen by more people.",9
"Having seen the trailer, the only conclusion I took is that it was high production value, however it did seem that the story is not going to be of much interest to me.

I gave it a chance because I had no idea what to watch on a Friday night and boy, I was not dissappointed.

The story evolves alongside the backstory of the main characters and you understand and feel the context of their development better.

The cinematography and camera movement are extremely good for a B rated horror movie.

While the story itself is not something very original, the execution and special effects give it a higher value than your average ouija board horror flick.

Don't miss this title for the Halloween, it is definitely one of the good ones for 2023.",8
"Mostly fast paced crazy carnage with a silly sense of humour about it, although there is a sequence in the middle with a serious tone and subject matter which is quite jarring. Impressive set pieces and special effects but it's definitely a case of style over substance with the mediocre plot lacking cohesion and the blatant product placement spoiling the overall experience. The oddball cast do work well together and within the premise, but it also feels a bit of an ego stroking exercise for Reynolds.",5
"The Grand Budapest Hotel is written and directed by Wes Anderson,starring Ralph Fiennes as a concierge who teams up with one of his employees to prove his innocence after he is framed for murder. This is the premise for the movie, but to watch it was boring. The movie is filmed as if you are watching a play inside a dollhouse, if that makes any sense. The so-called comedy is just pretentious and snob. Of course some people find that funny, but for me it didn't do it. The entire movie didn't do it... It could have been a wonderful adventure, but I found the manner and style it was conceived to be too boring and pointless. The acting is excellent and that saved the movie from being a complete waste of time. This definitely isn't a movie for the masses, and that being said, isn't a movie that an average movie goer will enjoy. For some that's a good thing maybe, but for me this wasn't entertaining. Be your own judge.",5
"Barbie has color and some music and dancing. There's no movie in there though, as taken as a whole it's a mess of illogic and heavy handed pronouncements. The ""real word"" is as fake as a 3 dollar bill. A universe called real world might be thought of as portraying, well, the real world, but it doesn't. When straining for humor, it mostly doesn't work. Furthermore, none of the characters in Barbie are interesting or someone one wants to relate to in a narrative. Some of the historical Barbie items are interesting to look at. Why this movie is popular I don't know, but the film will soon be forgotten.",2
"Another great film by Steven Spielberg. I always admire his works, he did it again and proves that he's a wonderful filmmaker, better than anyone else, the best, wish more filmmakers had the touch that he has.

This is a semi-autobiography by Steven Spielberg. It's so deep, beautiful and well-made.

It's a coming-of-age drama and mainly focused on him and his family back in the old days.

The influence of family on each other and the influence and power of cinema are the two most dominant themes in this great film.

This film, to me, is the best film of the year so far and his best film in years.

Then acting was something really special from all the cast especially Michelle Williams.

John Williams and the classical pieces were fantastic and gave the film unity, depth, dimension, emotion and dazzle.

Janusz Kaminski did a wonderful job as always, he sees every second of actions going on through his camera with attention, care and art, and picks everything meticulously.

Steven Spielberg with the help of his editors managed to balanced everything greatly, you could find every scene interesting and balanced.

I'm sure Tony Kushner's contribution must be indicated, he's a great screenplay writer.

We can somewhat witness how Spielberg was shaped personally and see a great love story and dysfunctional family sort out things the best that they could.

8.5/10.",9
"Haven't read the book, didn't even know there was a book until I checked the reviews. That being sad, it's a fun movie, good pacing, nice visuals. The characters are a bit bland and flat, they're pretty uninteresting really. They should've done more with them. The story is pretty straighforward and predictable, but it has some good ideas. Overall, nothing special but an enjoyable movie to watch on a sunday afternoon.",6
"I was watching this then I decided to multitask because it's just not that interesting. I was hooked from the 1st episode of GOT. But not this one. I am not fascinated by any characters. The whole cast seriously lacks charm except for the prostitute who is so beautiful. But can't imagine she will become a main character in here. The main characters? The princess showed no promise. Why her (the actor)?

The plot? Maybe there is something in there but it just doesn't interest me. Hopefully they can turn it around quickly.

Overall, un-inspiring characters and uninteresting developments.

PS: not a single drop of blood on the ground when wagons of body parts were taken away. Not a great effort on the technology side either.",5
"First off, the main guy is an annoying loser. Some guys are just not meant to be men, and they lose the hair. Usually they overcompensate in the gyms, or in this case gain the one punch ability, because they are definitely not less of a man for being a baldo.

But what really makes this series great is the complete parody of superheroes. Where its more about the drama, costumes and rankings than actually helping people.

They make the characters as whacky, fun and goofy as they should be, instead of that serious ridiculousness we see in the current superhero movie space.

The animation is also really good quality.",5

"1917 deserves a standing ovation for the technical aspects, but I would be remiss if I didn't mention the fact that this movie also wouldn't have been as good as it is without the careful direction by Sam Mendes. Between his work on American Beauty or Skyfall, it should come as no surprise that he would make a great film, but the crew around him took it to another level in my opinion. I was sucked in from start to finish and the two-hour run time flew by. I can't recommend this film enough. Easily one of my favourite films of 2019.

"I am an Iranian, an eighteen-year-old boy. Many of what happened are not shown in this film and the truth is not fully revealed and as far as I know most of the work is done by Canadians. Well, know that yes, the United States fired Mohammad Mossadegh and formed a coup, Mohammad Reza Shah was really cruel and, most importantly, he was under American domination. Khomeini also came from France and our country has now made friends with China and Russia, which are not better than the United States, but still China and Russia did not impose sanctions on us, and another thing is that maybe the Iranians were angry that the revolution and of course the result It's not good either, but we are also human and not animals. Ben Affleck portrays Iranians as animals in this film, and this does not fit in my mind. The same reasons that exist for the revolution against the Shah still exist, were angry people who were oppressed and promised (many of them were not fulfilled) and we are here now with the forced religion, the forced hijab and ...",5
"Its gore, its swearing, but that doesn't mean its bad The first 3 episodes I rated it 6/7 however this week - episode 4 was good and had the Boys vibe about it and something new.

The dialogue between the college kids is improving and I am finding some of the actors interesting.

This is so much better than the Wheel of Time.

They do certain things to be cool which is a little annoying - please no more male genitalia - MEN ARE NASTY, BUT NOT THIS NASTY.

The first 3 episodes the plot was slow and meandering.

If you like the Boys, you'll probably like this. But maybe a bit less.

Can't wait to see more episodes.",8
"Clearly a movie which polarises opinions, I have to say I found this one of the poorest war movies I've ever scene. Threading a series of individual stories together in this environment is not new - The Battle of Britain is a classic example of how this can be handled - it also did a much better job of portraying the scope of the event - a task which Dunkirk, despite widespread use of CGI, doesn't do: the near empty beaches over strained my capacity to suspend disbelief to the point where I quickly lost interest. Then came the sinking of the unknown hospital ship at the Mole. Unfortunately, this didn't happen - given the number of vessels that were sunk, resorting to this sort of device seems unnecessary and cheap. To me, it failed on every level - indeed there was a point when I kept watching only because of the one bit of suspense the movie tried to create - did he ever get to finish taking a crap?",1
"I have every Best Picture on DVD so was awaiting the release of ""12 Years as a Slave"" to disk. I had already seen how highly awarded this movie was, so expected great things from this film. OK, I'll give that the acting was superb, from the title character to the lowliest of bit players. The story was both compelling and horrific. So with great acting and story, how could this fail but to be superb. Well, it drug in places. I thought maybe the excruciation of having the story move along so slowly was intentional, to give one a sense of the passage of time under evil tyranny, but it didn't work. The 60ish, psychedelic scene transitions: the paddle wheel and water reflections quite nearly and literally gave me a headache. Am I glad I watched it? Yes! In portions, I both was entranced and wholly appalled at the brutal treatment of an enslaved group of humans. In other parts, I was so bored that I felt like turning it off. I hate to say it, but Steve McQueen is a great actor, but not such a great director. See it, but prepare to be somewhat disappointed at what was deemed as the best picture of 2013 by so very many.",7
"""Avengers: The Final Solution"" is not about pathological speeches and camera rushes in front of the heroes' manly faces (although there is sometimes too much of that in the film). Through the lenses of professional technology, we see Pepper Potts' wrinkles, Valkyrie's weary gaze, Steve Rogers' first gray hair. Along with ""The Avengers,"" millions of good movie fans grew up loving the seemingly artificial characters. But as everyone watched the end of the story in the silence of a fully occupied movie theater, the sentiment was clearly genuine. Most painfully, ""Avengers: The Finale"" hits the sense of nostalgia when every year the collaborative or solo films about familiar characters hit the screen. Now it's over, and like any good story, ""The Avengers"" has a proper ending. Viewers are united in a common sadness, as are half of the survivors on Earth in ""The Finale."" The final ""Avengers"" movie will show that strength is in brotherhood and love, especially when the characters say the famous ""Avengers, the general gathering!"" for the first and last time.",3
Best movie i ever seen story is great and soundtrack cant miss a part of this great master pace even better from first part,10
"So, they just sent in a team with no protective gear or vehicles into an unknown anomaly... Never mind, lets move on. The movie is just slow and uninteresting. Characters try to explain what's happening through dialogue as if we can't get it. Portman's performance is that of a sidelined muppet. The decisions that the super professional team makes throughout the movie are the exact opposite of what a rational person would consider. The ending simply explains why a sequel should never be made.",2

"Maybe I just don't get it or maybe you have to be in the banking industry to care but it's very boring. It's literally just guys talking to each other and about money the entire length of the film- like a radio talk show. The acting is fine and it's not poorly done at all- it's just basically nothing to see. I kept waiting for something to kick in- story, characters- something! I hate to be a snob about it but honestly I just can't imagine how a film like this actually gets made. I mean what was the inspiration?? Who is the intended demographic?? Again, maybe it's just me and I'm hung up on films with action, interesting characters and a colorful story and setting, but I can't even squeeze hard and push out something cool to say about this film. I really wish I could. It's like expecting a rock concert and getting to read a newspaper instead.",2
"This is definitely the most banal piece of work I've seen in a long time. Although I wouldn't call ""Breaking the Waves"" banal, I mention it because that was the last movie I remember being so widely praised both by critics and public and totally leaving me cold. Well, if you liked ""Breaking the Waves"" -- another miserable study in desolation -- you'll probably like this one. Why anyone would find this movie interesting is beyond me. I found it completely bogus. Bill Murray's character was fascinating and I wanted to know more about him, but the young woman was a complete and utter empty bore. So a couple of lonely, depressed people in disappointing marriages find someone acceptable to spend a week with. Big whoop!! She didn't have anywhere near enough substance to make this real or interesting to me. And another thing: A big deal was made of Bob being married 25 years -- how many people have you heard of that are married 25 years and have two young kids? I could definitely have seen him married about 10 years to a much younger woman who was getting fed up with him and his lack of attention to his needy family, but after 25 years it's not about the kids anymore. But I guess it had to be ""25 years"" to be a HUGE contrast with Charlotte's measly two, as if that puts him in a position to pontificate. Hey, news flash kiddies: Marriage is HARD and often depressing. DUH. And a guy of 50 isn't having a midlife crisis, by the way; he's way past that particular milestone. Calling it that just puts the cherry on this huge, pretentious piece of McBanality. Oh, and what did he whisper to her in the last scene? Who cares already?! It seems the relationship between the two was the main event for admirers of this film, but for me that was what destroyed it. It should have been Bill Murray's movie, a study of his state of mind, and Charlotte should have been, like the bar singer, only a supporting role, one of the ways he attempted to assuage his pain. 3/10",3

Right now my rating is 4 . And the characters are not at all interesting till now including the two titular characters we have wait to see how the full season actually it is And for people who complain that they is unnecessary hate for this show its not these two episodes is the most uninteresting and boring episodes of a marvel character i have ever seen It may turn out to be great later on but now BORING is one word for it",6

Most of the actors are brilliant especially THE MAIN GUY, THE ROCK STAR/SEX GOD, THE surf dude (from ""FRIENDS""), THE GROUPY WAITER.and a few more. Sarah Marshall is easily forgotten but who cares the rest of the cast will soon be a part of my DVD collection when this baby comes out!!

Two years I waited for Spider-Man 2. By then I had seen the first one over 10 times. My birthday was on July 2 the same day it was supposed to be released but then they moved it to June 30. After saying that let me get to my review. Spider-Man 2 is a tight movie but it is not as good as the first one. In this movie you have no choice but to feel sorry for Peter and his problems cause my man cant catch a break with women or a job. The villain is tight DOC OCK is bad tight in this movie but he needed more scenes. I would of liked this movie a lot better if they had taken out those cheesy scenes of Aunt May and a little bit of Mary Jane's scene and then this movie would of been tighter then the first one. When I left the theater I was so letdown. For weeks I had been reading reviews claiming this to be the best movie ever (see www.RottenTomatoes.com) Spider-Man 2 is worth seeing but be warned don't go in there with high hopes 9.5/10,10
"I had heard raving reviews for this show calling it a 'masterpiece' a 'new beginning to anime' and as I'm a fan of anime, i thought i would go into this show with an open mind, and to not judge too quick. After the first 15 or so episodes, i was impressed.

As a long time fan of Death note, i've always found animes such a Avatar the last air bender to be childish and lame. And thats exactly what i got. This show is nothing more than a kids show with boring characters, boring story and a confusing yet interesting background. This show wasn't that bad its just not for people who think every anime is timeless.

"Overrated film, a naive and commonplace view of the modern life with absence of deepening and with scenes just to impress us, but from a technical view have a mastery of skill.",4
"""I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread."" Those words come courtesy of Bilbo (Ian Holm) in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. But they also illustrate perfectly why Ready Player One, while fun in parts and an overall success, doesn't quite capture the magic of its director's past blockbusters.

That director is Stephen Spielberg, an ideal choice to spearhead a film celebrating every dimension and detail of late-twentieth-century pop culture. Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T., Back to the Future, Jurassic Park-these are just a few of the properties he has brought to the big screen. If each of them could look in from the past to see this newest creation, what would they say?

One thing is undeniable: Ready Player One, whether the movie or Ernest Cline's bestselling novel on which it is based, stands as one of the most original entertainment entities of the new millennium. Its story occurs in the year 2045, with society having taken a less-than-utopian turn. Consequently, nearly everyone spends their time plugged into a virtual world known as the OASIS. Money, friends, fame, love-anything worth experiencing happens in there. Reality is for losers.

Especially considering that the game's original designer, James Halliday (a brilliant Mark Rylance), planted a special egg deep within its digital walls. The first 'player' to find the egg gets half a trillion dollars and total control of the OASIS (which, essentially, amounts to world domination). The catch? The path to the egg consists exclusively of contests, quizzes and other tricky breadcrumbs based on Halliday's love for 80's movies, music and video games. Know the founder and you'll find the finish line.

This is exactly what teenager Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) intends to do. Thanks to his obsessive knowledge of Halliday, he (and thus, his OASIS avatar Parzival) have a great chance to succeed. He's also got a best friend (Aech), a new girl (Art3mis) and an arch nemesis (Nolan Sorrento, head of IOI, the sinister real-world corporation that also wants control of the OASIS).

This is the short version, and still a lot to unpack. I don't want to be 'that guy,' but I did read the book before I saw the movie. For anyone else in the same boat, it should be noted that the movie departs from its source material on several fronts.

Many adjustments are necessary and simply based on the medium. An early scene from the book involving a video game competition becomes a massive, exhilarating car race in the movie. The latter, of course, is much more suited to a visual experience, and the production's willingness to adapt should be applauded. Nor are the changes pure sacrilege, as Cline co-wrote the script. Each alteration echoes the author.

But it also takes us back to Bilbo. For it's not just that a novel contains so much more information than a movie; it's that this particular novel is all about the information, the details. Ready Player One has characters, and a story, but cares more than anything about minutiae-the tidbits of cultural knowledge that only geeks and fanboys would know.

The movie's intentions to highlight this are valiant, but misguided. Yes, we see the Iron Giant battle Mechagodzilla; we feel the eeriness of the Overlook Hotel; we hear the retro beats of Jump and We're Not Gonna Take It. But we don't fully experience any of them. There are just too many. The movie spends all its time simply reaching these coveted niches, there's none left to actually enjoy the visit.

That doesn't mean, of course, that the journey can't be fun. For starters, Ready Player One might feature the most impressive use of CGI since Avatar. This is a movie that literally could not have been made twenty years ago. The story itself is well-paced, with likeable characters speeding through a fresh world of surprise and discovery.

If you view the film as a series of nostalgic moments-Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Atari, The Millennium Falcon-it's hard to be disappointed. But if you're looking for those moments to add up to something-to become more than the sum of vintage parts-then you may have to resort to reading.

There's a scene near the end of the film between two characters in a bedroom. It's simple, quiet; it breathes, it takes its time. Through the silence, and a touch of wonder, it leads us to emotion. Almost without knowing it, we feel like a kid again.

I think this is the movie Spielberg really wanted to make. Sometimes the flash and bang and noise detract from the real entertainment. Here, it's the wonder of new worlds, and new friends. More than anything, that is the soul of Ready Player One.",6

Worst of Bollywood. Why waste so many resources on such a bad movie,2
"Maybe I was just not in the mood for a brainless movie, or maybe the movie was significantly less interesting than average movies, but I just didn't like it. It had no substance. No interesting characters. No interesting plot. It was just scene 1, scene 2, scene 3 etc etc without anything really make me care or even want to know what will happen next. It was... boring. Now honestly, despite being a big comic fan, I never particularly cared for Iron Man as a character. I found him uninspired and prototypical. He wasn't bad, but he was always boring in comics, and now in movie. I definitely enjoyed the 1st Iron Man more than the 3rd but the 2nd and 3rd were snore fests and all the tech and actions didn't help one bit which is a double whammy because I am also a huge sci-fi fan on top of loving comics but I just couldn't enjoy this movie. Again I cant put my finger on it, but something was just off. It was not fun.",2
"Based on the previews alone, I knew I would be watching at least the Pilot episode of ""Modern Family"". I am a big fan of the ""Office"" (especially earlier episodes) and love the format, so I had high hopes for ""Modern Family"". I am happy to report that my hopes were not let down for this show. In my opinion, this is the greatest 1st season comedy since ""the office"". I've been reading numerous articles about the show and it seems like Ty Burrell, who plays Phil, is the break out star. I hate to say this, but I think Phil is probably one of the dumbest parts of the show. His character is basically a Michael Scott rip-off and the actor seems like he is trying too hard. I basically want to say to the producers of the show: You have a really witty show with some great writing, PLEASE don't resort every week for predictable, LAME slapstick plot lines. You guys are better than that. I give them major credit though, because this show has TONS of potential. First Season review: B+",8
"The movie failed to deliver he excitement and the entertainment that other marvel movies managed to do ,i guess gathering all the characters was a major fallacy within this movie, thanos's performance was a CGI made one didn't feel the malevolence and in his acting at all so much like steppenwolf they should've dwelled in his performance and emerge a new villain that will dominate the scenes, again they should've simultaneously put the superheroes and the villains alike in order to create balance in the plot nevertheless the movie was simply enjoyable but didn't deserve the hype he got.",3
"Apart from it's more egregious crimes, such as the incoherent timeline and characteristically Batman voice, it delivers some of the worst dialogue and character motivations in a large budget Netflix series thus far.

The Witcher bites off far more than it can chew and it chokes on it's character development and world building.

Henry Cavill is certainly not the worst part of this show but no amount of magic or gratuitous shirtless scenes will make his acting palatable.",3
"Swades review :

Ashutosh Gowariker almost reached the Oscar stage with Lagaan (2001) and missed the ultimate honour by a whisker. Lagaan is undoubtedly one of the finest creations of Indian cinema and many books have already been written on it. Unfortunately, the towering success of Lagaan weighed large on his next Swades which was dismissed by then critics as a three and half hour long lecture on moral science. They had clearly missed the underlying pertinent theme that Gowariker wanted to highlight...

A NASA officer (Shah Rukh Khan) travelling to an Indian village to meet his childhood nanny (Kishori Ballal) and then contributing to its upliftment might have sounded too simplistic on paper but the way Ashutosh treats his subject so tenderly makes Swades a slow burner which hits you only in its climax. Yup, this is like a premium scotch which should be relished with right amount of patience and respect and it will certainly give you a high at the end..

Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) is outstanding as Mohan Bhargav and this is a role for which he will attain immortality. It is the best performance of his career and I cannot think of any other star who could've fit in here so seamlessly. Not even Aamir who was approached initally but declined the offer!!

The best part of Swades is every character - even peripheral one like the local postman (Rajesh Vivek) amazed by this new concept of email - remains memorable. The pretty Gayatri Joshi, cast opposite SRK, is totally convincing as the strong willed Gita. Note her chemistry with SRK when she helps him wear a dhoti.

Gowariker and AR Rahman combo works wonders again after Lagaan and all the songs sync in perfectly with the narrative. My personal favourite is ""Yuhi chala chal rahi"" picturised on SRK and Makrand Deshpande playing a fakir he meets enroute his village.

The dialogues are also a winner. Debating on whether India is a ""Mahaan desh"", SRK states in one scene ""Main nahi manta hamara desh duniya ka sabse mahaan desh hai. Lekin yeh zaroor manta hoon ki hum mein kabliyat hai, taaqat hai, apne desh ko mahaan banane ki"". So very true!!

In another scene, the film drives its point without a single dialogue. It is on the railway platform where SRK buys water from the poor boy and drinks it. Just see his expressions at that particular moment. It pretty much sums up the message the film wants to convey...

Outstanding stuff, indeed!!

Regards, Sumeet Nadkarni.",10
"The show starts great, all the pieces are working together and it is an entertaining show to watch. Late Winslet has given out one of her best performances. It is Just the two last episodes the show actually start to descend. There are holes in the plot and the happy ending of different storylines is just too unreal.",7
"Some brilliant moments (Temporal portal, dance and fight scenes) but overall told too slowly, with too many scenes that didn't advance the plot (I could have done without 2/3 of the Robert Sheehan/#4/Klaus's scenes). Clever use of music. Good acting (Aidan Gallagher, a 15 year old, brilliantly played a 58 year old in a 13 year old body). Potential for an 8 (Hello) but drug down to a 6 (Goodbye) out of 10. {Old School Comic Book Action}. Happy 32st Birthday to Ellen Page (a tiny Haligonian Canadian).",8
"This movie has a start, mid plot and an ending. But there is not a hint or some kind of explanation what these black smoke entities, that destroyed the planet population, are. I paid the ticket, due to Mrs. Bullock. Her acting is good, as expected. Her co-leading character, with whom she relates (intimately), is one of the human race's last survivors. He could be female or male, white, yellow, black or chocolate colored. But as Hollywood movies are trying to impose frequently from 2000+, is a black male. Even more lucky Mrs. Bullock, the production chose him to be also a young, nice looking, sensitive and well-built individual, so the relationship between them, is an easy one. She really won the 1 to 7billion lottery there. The movie is nothing extraordinary. Has some action, some boring parts, some drama, some violence and some love. All comes in ""some"" quantity. You can give it a try, if you don't have something else to do or watch .",5
"This series is about a white young woman. Playing chess. In the 60s. She has a drug addiction. A black childhood friend. A messed up childhood. Trust issues. There's so much potential and this series manages to skirt all of it. Yeah, sure, there's some friction of her entering a male dominated world, but everyone ends up being super supportive. Her drug problems? She just manages to solve them. Her trust issues? Same thing. Her black friend? Helps her out big time. By ignoring all potential, never provoking the viewer, never making the viewer uncomfortable, this series is indeed very easy to watch.",5
"After I saw this movie I had only one thing in mind. Are we all so stupid that we don t want to be successful? So even a dummy is better than me? I don t think so folks. Life is hard and success is like lottery. As per Tom Hanks....what can I say??? He s perfect for the role. He really looks stupid. I ve never been a fan of Hanks, and after seeing the movies he played in, I m convinced I ll never be a fan. Anyway, the advice I get is: don t go to work every day, just run for days and someone will notice you and get you into the White House...That s not even fair, but it doesn t bother me, since it is really comic.",1
And the whole cast did an excellent job and again Anurag Basu deliver a masterpiece.,10
"The first series is bad. There, I said it. Bad script, bad acting, annoying over the top smart kids. I gave it a 6, but, wait for it, there's a twist here because second series is actually much better, in the 8 range. After such a poor script in the first series I wasn't expecting much from series 2 but I said hey, these people had some great CGI, poured in a lot of money, let's waste some time seeing what they come up with. And come up they did. There's way less overly smart infatuated kids here, less running around fixing silly stuff and even couple good jokes pointing that there's always trouble finding the Robinsons. And most of all less bad decisions. It does get a bit corny in the final of series 2 unfortunately but hey, better than corny all the way. So, all in all I'm looking forward to see series 3 now, while after series 1 I was unmoved. So I guess it just became better, which is great, because this show actually has a lot of potential.",8
"If this was the real CTU and how they actually handle things, terrorists have nothing to worry about. The way they handled situations and the decisions they made are so far removed from real life, it's not even funny. So many issues w/ the Secret Service and the future POTUS and the way he handled things. The family drama was not even believable because of all the lack of realism. I mean c'mon man. Keifer is better than this.",4
"I love how Tom Hardy, and now Andy Serkis, has leaned in to the playful dynamic between Eddie and Venom to create something fun. Not every comic adaptation needs to be grimdark and edgy to be entertaining. I will gladly watch as many sequels as they want to create.",10
"It's just OK. Not great. My main complaint is the length. Every scene, and I do mean every scene is at least 2-3 times longer than it needs to be. We seriously don't want to watch laser tag for 5-10 minutes at a stretch. A real snoozefest.",5
"The movie is not half as bad as a dozen other similar flicks out there. The premise is similar to the other recently recently movie "" A quiet place"". Intriguing but yet unconvincing premise at the same time. If u can suspend disbelief for 2 hours , one can enjoy the suspense thrills and compelling storyline this movie has to offer...Great, horror thrill -inducing stuff for those who need you need a dose of apocalyptic horror that works on the senses.. The ambiguity throughout the film keeps it moving and gives a certain aura and charm . Performances especially that of the Sandra Bullock is great and commendable with emotion inducing on screen aura as a mother fights on to save her children...",7
"Harry Potter, who doesn't know the name Haryy Potter? Truth be told the powers that be could throw out any old garbage film and we the helpless fans would jump upon it and go in our thousands. Thankfully that hasn't happened.

The Deathly Hollows is a fine novel, one every fan should read and the film part 1 is true to the book and every fan will like it. It stars off with the brilliant "" 7 Harry's "" scene which is fantastic and from there it moves swiftly to the wedding and familiar faces are plentiful. We get to meet all the old favourites Mad Eye,The Weasleys,Lumpkin,Hermoine,Hagrid and of course Harry then we see the warm Weasley families home and all is OK, alas our blood thirst is quenched.

But the problem is after the start the film hits a dead end. We are left with the three main characters in isolation and not much else is going on. This is part of the story and necessary but to be blunt it is a little boring. However the last 30 minutes bring the tale back to life and do more than enough to excite the audience. The film as you all know is a little darker and perhaps more suitable for the 12+ age group.

All in all this is a decent film and is more than enough to keep the Potter Heads out there happy. You cant help but be hungry for more and it is set up perfectly for an epic finally which Im sure we will get.",7
A trite story which glosses over John Nash's failings including his divorce from Alicia. You wouldn't know that she was South American. You don't know about his arrest in a sting or his child by another woman form the affair that continued through his marriage. Performances are just OK. Russell Crowe's West Virginia accent ends up sounding like something from the deep south and gets deeper as the movie goes on. Top films of all time? This wasn't even the best film I saw in 2002.,2
"Oppenheimer was bad. In a bad way. And when I reviewed it, I was thought everything would have been better to watch than that. And finally, I had the opportunity to watch Barbie. I thought it will be a tipical advert film, where yes, they make joke from the dolls and there's some jokes for the adults too, but overall it's all about: BUY MORE BARBIE !

And I had almost right. But just ALMOST.

Barbie tries to be a society critic, an advert film, a comedy, a kids movie, and it almost works well in those types. But there are some bad things I want to discuss, so here's how this critic will work, I will show how it fits in the types I written down, and after that I will write the conclusion.

Society Critic Part: The movie absolutely great in this type, it both shows the stupidity of the PC world, and the terrifying fact we live in a world where is homophobia and racism, sexism. Most of the jokes are about that.

Advert Film Part: Exactly because the Society Critic part, it fails to be a good advert film, because who do you want to want to get Barbies. Small Children! And small children will not understand, the jokes with our society, they understand the slapstick jokes. Okay there's some in the film. But there's too few to interest a child.

Comedy Part: It's good. This movie IS funny. I can't say more.

Kids Movie Part: As I said, it's not working that much. But I have to tell, it can be a bit too silly for adults. So that's a problem too.

Conclusion: It's a good movie ! Watch it max two times, great stuff. But if it wasn't a Barbie movie, it could work better.",6
"This movie is very overestimated. In general the movie contains to many clichés and bad one liners, and the acting is very bad. Both in general and compared to the prequels. A couple of times its almost so embarrassing that i felled sorry for the director because the scenes must have been very awkward to make. The story line dos not follow any traditional rhythm. Not always a bad thing, but in this movie its very annoying. A lot of scenes are very short and just give you a feeling of emptiness, because they lack purpose. When Catwoman for the third time lets Batman down and he still trust her you just get angry because not even a superhero would act so naive. In general the lack of realism makes the movie boring because you don't fell anything will watching the movie. I heard something about Oscars? That must be a joke.",3
"Glass onion, great cast for the most part, but one pretty much dropped the cast, on the whole, to a *** sub-par rating. The plot is just as much a classic yawn as knives out was, right along with all the 'red herrings'. Not as enjoyable as the first one and most certainly not counting as completely original, or even halfway fo the matter. 20 mins into this 'mystery' was solved, just like the first one. In fact the only reason I. An think that these movies are exist or are even popular, must be because no one in 'their' target crowd reads any real quality literature at all. Spend your money on something else, this is not worth a buck.",1
"So I guess it's just the times we live in, but why do so many series these days just have to show graphic sex scenes and full frontal female nudity? Everybody trying to compete with GoT?? Last time I checked, sex was never intended to be a spectator sport...",4
"In the 1% chance that a director or producer reads this...please don't ruin the Infinity Wars Part 1 and 2 by trying to make the entire thing a comedy like Thor Ragnarok did.

Watch Lord of the Rings (not the Hobbit ones)...a couple jokes a movie is good. A couple jokes every 10 minutes is not. At least not for these movies.",4
"I cant understand people raving about this ? two eps in i went searching for why it felt so cliched overwritten plodding laboured and just...made up. I soon found all the reasons this feels phoney, because it is. Just Google what did the hbo mini series Chernobyl get wrong. Yeah i know nothing about Chernobyl folks but i know a piece of crap when i see one and this is that. Comparing this to the creation of BB and Sopranos is just absurd.",1
"This is stupid. Stupid, stupid stupid!!! And boring. I want to congratulate reviewer melkurion and incorporate his or her well written review. I wish he or she had written the script. If you like stupid movies that make no sense, I suggest you get a copy of ""Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea"" another amazing insult to your intelligence. At least ""Voyage"" was fun to watch for the mere stupidity. This one is simply extremely boring. The first 45 minutes is Mathew McConaughey as a single father talking to his daughter? You can go to any park on Saturday afternoon and see the single fathers talking to their kids and it will be far more entertaining. Then Cooper (McConaughey) stumbles into a super-secret NASA installation, not in Florida mind you, but apparently in a corn field in Iowa. He is immediately snapped up to pilot the last remaining space ship on a dying planet. He has to save the earth from a dust storm. The angst is that he has to leave his daughter and it might be a few hundred years before he gets back. Here's the reason I write: NASA is sending its last space ship, its only hope to save our species, with a pilot they just met, two other guys and one woman. Huh? If you're going out to find another habitable planet, and chances are the people sent are never coming back, and you send one woman? The writers do know where babies come from, don't they? Anne Hathaway plays ""Brand"" and is the only woman on board. What if she gets killed? What if she is infertile or not very good at getting pregnant? The entire future of the human race is riding on her. She is 32 years old and looks older. They would have been better off leaving Cooper at home and sending his daughter. Any reasonable effort to save the human race would have been to send three young women, one viral young man and a whole lot of frozen sperm. The reason that there is just Hathaway is because of the movie convention that we must always have more dudes. Always. Even if the situation calls for women, even if it only makes sense that the participants be female, there must be mostly men. And director here fell back on the cliché from SI-Fi movies of the 50s: Why is there a chick in the space ship at all? Because she is the daughter of the Professor who is masterminding the project. If the professor didn't have a daughter, they would be all dudes in the space ship. Brand couldn't be accomplished on her own? She gets to be in the space ship because she's the daughter. The science may have come a long way from the 50s, but the male dominated film industry has not. As I said the whole movie made no sense and is an insult to your intelligence. Add in the chauvinism and you got a fun night out.",2
"The movie starts off great, you feel the tension and you're sucked into the story.. until the director decides to pull you into a time hopping, where in one scene its day and the next its night and back and forth, hopping around for no other reason than to do it. The setting is amazing, the acting is okay but the pacing is awful. Still, very watchable once if you really like war movies or you love quality effects.",6
"There are soooo many movies better than this overrated piece of garbage that have lower scores or are in the 3.5 stars rank yet are better and deserve higher scores. No soul, no charm and no character describes this movie. Good effects and actors but that i it. Go watch the original, you will not regret it.

2.5 for me.",3
"I just literally cried after watching this movie. I can't explain my emotion in this few words. Unexplainable. Truly a masterpiece, never gonna forget this movie❤",10
"Lets start by describing this flick with one word... an absolute DISAPPOINTMENT. The movie stayed true to its origin with strong action scenes and special effects with peppered in comic relief, although, it came off more as a comedy than an action film. Kids will love this movie none the less, but anyone over the age of 10 who has any taste in good movies will agree this movie was a let down to the series and marvel especially. The story line was terrible, and in no way stays true to the comic series involving the Mandarin. This movie had all the potential in the world and fell short in every category. My suggestion is save your money, and if you enjoyed 1 & 2 as much as I did avoid ruining the entire franchise by not watching this movie.",4
"In Vienna we have our wonderful Gartenbau Kino, built in the 60's. The ideal cinema to show Taxi Driver in 2016. For me it was the first time to see this classic movie. And I was a little bored. Only the acting of De Niro and Jodie Foster was superb. All the others acted really bad (especially Shepherd - I doubt Columbia's casting judgment ability for this movie...). Directing was okay. Schrader's twist at the end unexpectedly run into an unbelievable happy end. I was totally perplex watching a twist like that. Filmmusic was repetitive and annoying. I guess, I give 6 stars, because this movie stands as an official classic. Otherwise I would rate it with 5 stars only.",6
"I like Sandra Bullock but I'm not sure what just happened. Too long, kinda slow, loose ends, redundant. Can you tell I didn't like it? I kept waiting for something significant to happen and it just didn't. I like that it was on Netflix.",5
"Gonna be honest the first episode was kinda meh because it was bassicly the same story of the movie. I was A little dissapointed because i wanted to experience new storries in the Marvel multiverse. But after watching the other episodes i am excited for the new episodes!

Every episode has a new story to watch and wanting to watch more of the plot thinking it would be good as a stand alone series.

My favorite so far is episode 5 ""zombies"". It was a really great story, with the typical Marvel ellements: Humor, heroics and a some heartbreaking moments

My non professional advice give it a chance don't stop after the first one. There are a lot of what if's to be explored.",8
"Overall, I liked the first season and then I found the plot repetitive, yet amusing since the idea in itself is original and it doesn't resemble to another TV show. My only problem is the future of the TV show. How are they going to create new dimensions to the characters, new surprises, etc...",5
"Can we erase the ""gd"" word from the script all together?! At the very least substitute another colorful word without involving God's name. Esp the younger cast members! Otherwise fantastic show! 8 out of 10 people I talk to about the show agree. Come on Duffer Brothers! Do better!",5
"The Good: Literally ONLY the 1st 40 minutes, fantasy gore and violence, morally ambiguous characters, and cameo appearances.

The Bad: Unnecessarily Woke AF, paper-thin plot, and tame family-friendly horror (More ""The Addams Family"" than ""The Evil Dead"", but for a PG-13 it could have done with more surrealist visuals, like Mysterio's nightmarish illusion sequence in ""Spiderman: Far From Home"").

The Verdict: After a promising 1st act, this film descends into what is essentially a triple-bill of WandaVision episodes (The price you pay for seeing a theatrical feature written by a TV writer is you pay for a TV movie). It just feels flat and a missed opportunity for both Raimi and Marvel. Not a patch on the 1st ""Doctor Strange"", and nowhere near as cinematic. Hell, even season 2 of CW's ""The Flash"" handled the Multiverse better. Way better. And no, I'm not biased-- I gave ""The Batman"" 1/10. Both films are awful. This is marginally more entertaining.",2
"Christopher Nolan pours his complicated dream world of ideas down on us from the outset in this visually astounding braggart of a film. There's hardly a scene in Inception in which the set designers and visual effects team don't get a chance to shine, resulting in a film so photographic and dazzling that the high amount of details present and lacking in Nolan's story/setup may easily be moved to the background. At times this is a good thing, because for all the complexity in the film's concept of the snatching/planting/sharing of dreams, there are abundances of logical flaws - questions you are not meant to ask, issues which are not meant to be discussed. Incidentally, these are often quite basic and relevant questions, such as how the actual interconnection between the dreamers is achieved, or how it is that an idea conceived in a dream is something which turn out guiding our entire lives.

Inception is over-populated with talented performers and soaked in scientific talk and ostensible existentialism/intellectualism. This may make it impressive at first glance, but I suspect viewers will be divided into two groups: those who indifferently accept it and those who somewhat annoyingly challenge it. What they'll probably have in common is that I doubt neither group will be really inspired by it, despite the fact that the story, which appears more basic and less innovative the deeper into Nolan's dream world we get, has got elements of fine writing in it. The ending is the only moment in the film in which Nolan shows real class. Whether it's worth waiting two and a half hour for, I'll leave up to you.",6
"A good show from start to finish. Liked the pacing of the story, some character development, good and believable plot so it makes sense in the current MCU. If you analyze it you may find so called plot wholes but at face value its defiantly a good story and a show that got me engaged and wanting more.

Good show that I feel deserves more then 7.3.",9
This film has some of the best character development in a film ever I think this could be one of the best superhero movies of all time and is the best out of the trilogy insert mike drop here,9
"I was so hyped about this show coming out, I mean ""Come on Man"" it's ""LOKI"". This'll have it all, Loki's a Marvel character, you know he's the dude that disappeared with The Tesseract in The Avenger's, Hulk, Captain America, it's gonna be great. I'm mean it's Loki not Abomination (He's another Marvel Character) Then, week after week, after week, after week, I've been waiting, and waiting, and waiting.............you get where I'm going with this right. Then I find out week six is the Finale, finale to what it's not gone nowhere. I bet those people who gave the show ten feel rather silly now.

I'm sorry but even with the CCP's money this show moves along at about the speed of Beijing Biden's morning ablutions. Honestly it's sad, I thought, nay prayed the Star Wars Crap Fest was a one off, now I know it's not. Loki's character is great, Tom Hiddleston plays Loki without a fault, he's the reason I gave it the five stars the acting is great, the story is pants. Whoever came up with this garbage of a storyline needs firing, and fire whoever gave it the go ahead as well. Just one big disappointment!",5
"This is basically ""The Walking Dead"" mixed with ""The Road"" and has pieces of ""Invasion of the Body Snatchers,"" ""Z Nation,"" and a billion other post-apocalyptic movies. There is just enough originality though to keep most audiences happy.

The main characters are excellent. The girl is snarky and hilarious, but without the feeling that HBO is attempting to tailor TOO much to the younger generation. Joel is great too, but a bit too ""Mad Max.""

The plot is standard, and mildly predictable. There's a lot to be happy about, but a lot to make fun of. For example, why do the infected have to sound like the penguins from Futurama? And their movements are too.....exaggerated and typical. It's like it's too obvious they are just actors.

After the first couple episodes, it's apparent that it relies heavily on the dynamic between the two main characters. It does not disappoint. But again, I have to again think of the dozens of relationships in so many tv shows and movies that are almost exactly identical.

Despite my complaints of the show lacking in originality, it's fun and worth a watch. DO IT. But don't expect anything amazing.

My guess is the hype right now is high because of all the fanboys of the original game gushing over over the mere fact that the show was even made in the first place. I imagine it'll die down a bit over time, but not by a whole lot. I bet it is exciting for them to get one of their favorite games made into a show, as an avid gamer myself, I am a tad bit envious, because they still have yet to release the Borderlands movie.",7
Summary: explosions and no story. Such a waste of time...,2
This is a fascinating story with a great picture. I recommend it to everyone who loves fantasy. I like characters and actors. Also costumes and decorations are at the highest level.,9
"I was hoping this remake would be worth the wait but unfortunately it wasn't. It got lost amongst a poorly scripted and acted farce. The robot was the only thing salvageable, other than that I found it a sad waste of space!",1
"So finally, a 5 episode film cum entertainment cum motivation cum real time experience of current Indian scenario. Hats off to the team: Director, Script Writer & cinematography are awesome. People starve for either money or fame but nobody runs for the ultimate 'Self-Satisfaction'. The season is a mash up of practical life-style of a layman who is tired and frustrated by their job but willing to take risk based on their intuition. The short series shows the desperation of 4 young entrepreneurs best in their fields & their unique product that they want to launch in the market. The actual life-cycle hardships, rejections, moments, inexpressible emotions, etc take the viewers to an imaginary world/ dreamland.",10
"For anyone that has seen the original show and the movie that came out years later, this is a great addition to the storytelling of Lost in Space. I don't want to give anything away so I'll just say this you have to watch the entire season 1 for yourself and just have fun! I give it a 9 out of 10 for the couple of time where I thought ""Hmmmm.... that could have been done differently."". Seriously though, this was a great watch. I went in expecting something bad because of the trailer and all of the reviews that I've seen on here, but it is a great show. Hope this helps anyone looking for something fun to enjoy.",9
"Just saw it at the cinema. Let's start at the bottom line: I'm disappointed. #12 on IMDb with 217k votes and 9.0/10 rating and comparing it to movies such as 2001 is more than overrated - it's almost a joke.

This movie reminded me of Contact (also with Matthew McConaughey), Moon, Sunshine and Gravity, but all of these are in magnitude better than this movie. There is also an influence of 2001 and a wink or two to it (TARS' joke about releasing a person out of the airlock and its features which make it look like the Monolith). But on the whole, this movie isn't deep at all. Like many other Nolan movies (Inception in particular), it has a very simple idea that is extended and stretched in the movie, making it looks complex and/or epic, but it's actually pretty simple. In this movie, in particular, the writing is quite simplistic and isn't very thought-provoking. Like I said before, I think Nolan is a very capable director, but he's extremely overrated (like David Fincher).

What disturbed me the most was the lack of emotion that I felt throughout most of the movie. I think I can blame Hans Zimmer for most of it. Zimmer is a fantastic composer and all his scores for Nolan movies are excellent, but in this movie he totally failed IMO. Again, it may be a combination of writing and direction, but mainly the score was lacking. There are quite a few emotional scenes that are almost stolen from Moon - but while Clint Mansell's brilliant score to Moon lift the emotion to extreme heights and can make me cry almost instantly (no matter how many times I watch Moon), Zimmer's score to this movie did almost nothing to me.

Matthew McConaughey gives a solid performance, especially during the emotional scenes. Ellen Burstyn is good in her tiny guest role. Jessica Chastain, which I absolutely hated in Zero Dark Thirty, isn't that great in this movie either, except for one short emotional scene which is brilliantly performed by her (I'm referring to her recorded message).

While there are a few good visuals in this movie, even this aspect was quite a letdown. Gravity was MUCH more impressive in that respect.

Even TARS the robot seems like it's taken from a B-movie. While I came to like some of its abilities (the running scene is my favorite), it doesn't come close to any of the qualities presented by GERTY the robot from Moon.

All in all, this is an entertaining film, but really nothing more than that.

5.5/10 So-so",6
I feel like most of these negative reviews are from people with impossible expectations. Just stop wanting everything that could possibly be told about the Harry Potter universe and sit back and enjoy the story.,7
"The Reel Geezers, two old-school movie vets give a interesting review of The Dark Knight. Especially, since Lorenzo Semple Jr., one of the Geezers wrote the original Batman TV series. Always full of interesting tidbits. These guys discuss the social themes, and the tone of The Dark Knight and of course have great references to other films. They are funny and super sharp. You may or may not agree with them but at the end of the day it's a different perspective that is entertaining and insightful.

This show is pretty good. The story is becoming more intriguing each week. I do think it would be a lot better if Sonoya Mizuno could actually act. Her performance is so dry,7
"Barbie is one of those few films that are able to merge an extremely unreal and borderline bizarre environment with an immensely grounded and hyperreal take on society successfully, and still be massively entertaining.

The script is one of the finest in the history of film and demands supreme attention of the audience, not just to the surface level occurrences and dialogues but also to the underlying subtext (paralleling American Psycho).

Contrary to the general consensus, this is very much a coming-of-age movie through the eyes of a young girl. Barbie has an idealistic and perfect outlook towards life which gets crushed and she is forced to accept, then gradually embrace and finally manoeuvre through.

The film is also vastly political in nature (not just gender but otherwise too), compelling the idealistic society to realise how fractured their own internal workings are resulting in them implementing real life political resolutions to their systems.

There are so many more layers to peel off of the writing which elevates this movie from a straightforward comedy/satire to a film that deserves to be broken apart piece by piece and studied extensively for generations to come (sooo very similar to American Psycho).

And finally, Ryan Gosling does indeed deliver the absolute most sublime performance of his career.",10
"Critics have been bashing on the show, calling it a 'cliche dark and gritty take on a previously fun show'. This is not a 'dark' show - it's grounded. It feels logical and real. - the show is criticized for its family dynamic, and the fact that they talk more science than spending time bonding. The show uses science talk as bonding. Honestly; I had no interest in a reboot that embraced the 'campy' roots. I love that they took a pretty silly family show and took it seriously. The writing is solid (there are a ton of story threads and arcs that carefully play out over the course of the season, and actually pay off - it's really pretty impressive), the chemistry between the ensemble is fantastic. It's great seeing Toby Stephens again (I was a huge fan of Black Sails) - Molly Parker is a loving mother with a warrior spirit - the daughters are terrific - the robot design is super cool - but for me, it is young Maxwell Jenkins (as Will Robinson) that steals the show. He is an incredible actor and definitely one to watch. He is believable as the incredibly intelligent Will - but also carries some very heavy emotional scenes. (Episode 6: 'Eulogy' is a particular stand out) This show is definitely worth watching - Highly recommded.

So; what's with all the one and two star ratings? I think this is a case of spammers trying to sink the show - perhaps lashing out at Netflix original programming. (Google the current controversy between Netflix and the Cannes film festival. There are people that are quite invested in seeing Netflix fail) I don't know for sure - but the show is fantastic.

Simply; don't believe the (negative) hype. Check it out and judge for yourself.",8
"Married John Mullany (Gallagher) is having an affair with his wife's sister Cynthia (Giacomo) whilst the arrival of his old friend creates problems.

When looking at romantic hits in the last 20 years we have seen a fair share of ups and downs. From the clichéd look at happiness and love in Richard Curtis' Love Actually to the intimate look at how friendship affects relationships in Rob Reiner's When Harry met Sally we have seen highs and lows at an important part of how love and lust affect our lives. Recently the trend has lowered where everything is set in stone such as Hitch or Intolerable Cruelty. Good films with humour but an inevitable conclusion. So where does Steven Soderbergh's picture rank?

If, in the first half an hour, you become bored with the obvious predictability and over dramatic inclusion of Andie MacDowell's marriage then just think of this as build up for something mercifully better. This opening with MacDowell's protagonist Ann conversing with her therapist is frankly boring. Then we see her husband having an affair with her very own sister. So already this feels like an episode from Coronation Street. Graham's introduction though at first ultimately boring becomes interesting once we see his bizarre hobby.

Finally the script all starts to make sense. This boring build up layers the foundation for Grahams' inclusion and the implication of sex and the significance of happiness in adversity. Sex is the most covered topic out of the three keywords but for some reason we barely see any so the fact that it is debated so much but shown minimally begs the question of the significance and the lack of enthusiasm for it.

Nevertheless there is no shaking the subject is relative, whilst combining mildly interesting plots about affairs, unemployment and perversion.

Yes, it's soapy and you pick up clues as easy as Graham picks up women but this is almost irrelative thanks to a sharp performance by Spader. He steels the light in every scene, though hardly difficult next to MacDowell's egregious act at loneliness. Gallagher and Giacomo have their moments too.

During the opening stages the sound does not go in sync with the actors. The constant use of narration is overplayed and just seeing all these problems with the production does not help the film's supposed cause to preach and entertain.

Compared to other classics this 1989 romance has its moments with its main issue but ultimately this is predictable and not really worth the hassle when other such romances as Rob Reiner's masterpiece or American Beauty demonstrate how to handle sex without being predictable or soapy.",7
"This is probably the worst movie I've seen this year. Cruise acted downright silly and the whole thing came off as a joke. I couldn't tell what the genre was suppose to be. A drama, a comedy, adventure ??? It reminded me of a little boy who loves airplanes so he made a movie just so he could fly one or pretend to.In all seriousness, I thought it was insulting.",1
"*The Plot*

There are so many different aspects and dimensions to this story that finally when you connect all the dots, it will all make sense and will make you dig more into details... pure brilliance!!!


*Editing*

Continuously switching between the past and the present; yet maintaining the clarity of though throughout the season.


*Acting*







*Direction*





*Final Verdict*

This season is one hell of a ride that will slowly take you into an inception of utter darkness!

This is not a regular bollywood drama series which everyone would love; A lot of people would also find it to be dull and boring at times... But that's the beauty of it!

For the others, this one will rock your insides out right from the core!

Awaiting Season 3 for the conclusion!",9
"Wonder Woman was boring. I absolutely love superhero films. This was just an Industry cookie cutter film. No substance bland and boring. I did expect it going into this film based off of B vs S and suicide squad. I didn't trust my gut and they got my money and my money.

When Gal Gadot (wonder woman) decided to leave the Amazonean Island in search of David Thewlis (Sir Patrick) Wonder woman's mom was just like ""ok see ya later"". It really was just an emotionless scene. To top that off Wonder woman does not say goodbye to any of the other Amazoneans. Just so emotionless! Did wonder woman even have a best friend on the Island, Jeez! Anyway I knew right then I should have gotten up and walked out.

Like I said cookie cutter. The fight scenes weren't even that good to me. In fact they were rather boring! You got me on Wonder Woman the DC movie I will wait for non professional reviews on the next one.",2
"I find it hard not to agree with one or two of the reviewers, to describe this as a movie masterpiece is a bit of a joke, if you think that the 1958 John Mills version would scare the wits out of you, apart from a handful of real actors doing their best to save it and one or two fairly good scenes this was a rather dull, slow moving low budget version of what happened. Dunkirk was a big event, over 300,000 troops, hundreds of aircraft and ships were fighting and saving lifes, what do you see here, a 100 or so extras in tin hats looking sad, only 3 spitfires, no hurricanes of which there many involved, 2 me109s and a handful of bombers, and last but not least a 1960/70 french destroyer which we were suppose to imagine looked like a 1930s british destroyer, not even close, this was more like a bad day trip for a few soldiers than the war ending disaster it could have been if not for the heroes who saved them",3
Turgistan is not and Arabic Country guys. Not even close. Stop filming about sterotypes. Middle east country ohhh they are arabs. Oooo Asian country they are Chinesee. Jesus Please Learn a bit.,1
"Forget about the original series and the movie, ignore the haters and you're in for a hell of a ride!",8
"I couldn't wait to see this movie, because I loved the songs, of course especially the Shallow. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed. One moment I was watching one scene, and second later I was watching the next one, without realising the first one has already finished. It just seemed a lot of the time that the movie was jumping from one scene to another without anything in between. No cohesion. As if I was watching short clips, rather than a consistent and logical movie. The 5 stars I have given are for the acting of Cooper and Gaga and the music.",5
"Rian Johnson is a pretty good director. The cinematography he gets out of his guys is really good in this one. His class consciousness is really getting more defined and he's getting better at the metaphors. All wrapped up in an entertaining mystery.

Though I can understand why people wouldn't like this one. If you just want to take the events in the film seriously then this one isn't as solid as the first film.

I don't really care much for the text of a film and the filmmakers in this one really know how to make a film that appeals to me. I know I say this often but I am a big fan of leftist messaging coming back to mainstream films.",8
"What can I say? I went into this expecting at least a few laughs. The trailers didn't even show or come close to reveal the heart of the plot. So here it is: Everything is so horrible and wrong for women today, and most men hate women. Now, as a woman watching this movie, I felt as if I was supposedly being told how much my life as sucked, and how much men have stolen from me. Which is not at all the case. I've had the pleasure of working with men who respect me in a good career, and found the movie distastefully disrespectful of everything I've ever accomplished.

I had a few laughs, but found the movie lacking a sense of real purpose and direction. It seemed as though it was seeking to inform everyone about this new agenda that women should be in charge of everything. Wow, sounds like sexism to me. I'd prefer equality, which is something that we currently have.",2
"The story is really captivating, my girlfriend also liked it even though she doesn't know anything about chess. Two stars reduced because of drug/alcohol usage, and because of some really poor camera work in some scenes",8
"Being a fan of The Tick for decades I came into this show with scepticism. I can say that I really enjoyed it once I got past the fact that this wasn't going to be a Patrick Warburton knockoff. I actually think it's better than the original live action show. It runs a lot closer to the comic book adaption. And those negative reviews you see here didn't even give it a chance past the first episode. One idiot even complained about Whoopie Goldberg who makes an appearance in the first episode but that's it. We get it, you're a conservative who has to protect your ignorance. If for no other reason you should give this show a watch to see Jackie Earl Haley as The Terror. He is amazing. I truly hope Netflix or another provider picks this show up for a third season because as usual Prime let's a true gem slip away while they keep duda like Fleabag. I will never forgive them for dropping this show or Hand Of God.",8
"As someone's who been a fan of the witcher universe since long before the Wild Hunt popularized it, I have to say this show really seems to be in a slow decline. The first season was a confusing mess of time skips that people unfamiliar with the material had trouble understanding, but the characterization was overall fairly good. The second season was probably the best so far, dealing with Ciri's training and introducing the other witchers at Kaer Morhen. But the third season, well, lots of cracks are starting to show. For one thing, the characterization and relationship of Radovid has been completely changed from the book (so now he's not only gay BUT the king's brother rather than son?). The loss of Henry Cavil is obviously also going to be a huge blow to next season. Also, the actress who plays Milva (Meng'er Zhang) is TERRIBLE. She acts like she's in a completely different TV show, like she thinks she's in a teen drama or something and it's so jarring. And the fact that she is being set up to be one of the main characters next season does not bode well.

Another potential issue that many have voiced concerns with and I also am curious about is regarding the diversity casting. Making Radovid gay or Mistle black doesn't really have any consequences now, but it makes you wonder how closely the show is going to follow the book since both of those characters have rather dark aspects to them that come up later. I mean if the show actually follows the source material regardless I would commend it, so it remains to be seen.

I could be wrong, but I have a feeling this series will not be able to see the full story to completion. Honestly, they really should have tried to just do small narratives each season rather than trying to tackle the entirety of Ciri's storyline, because all the small changes they keep making are just going to end up compounding more and more as the series progresses. Time will tell how this series will be remembered.",7
"I'm not entirely blown away by the lead actress here, she's a bit wooden, but the show is so beautiful and enthralling I'm far from abandoning it. I like that it's only 8 episodes so we don't end up trudging through poop like in the second series of Westworld. I loved Annihilation (bought the bluray in fact even though its free to stream on UK Netflix) so this seems right up my street. Fingers crossed it finishes well.",8
"With only his third film J.C. Chandor has taken on the mantle of Sidney Lumet and has done him proud. ""A Most Violent Year"" is an incredibly tense, gripping drama, (I hesitate to call it a thriller per se), set in New York in 1981, reputedly the most violent year in the city's history and around the time Lumet was making films like ""Prince of the City"" and ""The Verdict"". Like these, ""A Most Violent Year"" depends, not on action, extreme violence or sex but on a good story, a brilliant script, intelligent direction and a host of superb performances.

Oscar Isaac, (getting better with every film), is Abel Morales, owner of his own oil company and in the throes of a deal that will greatly expand his empire, who finds he is also the subject of a number of hi-jackings of this trucks, possibly organized by his competitors. Abel is a good, decent man who doesn't want to dirty his hands even though both he and his company are being investigated by District Attorney David Oyelowo. His wife, on the other hand, isn't so squeamish, whether it's in fiddling the books or shooting an injured deer. She's played, terrifically, by Jessica Chastain in an Oscar-worthy performance, (she didn't even manage a nomination), and her presence on screen suggests this film may go down some very dark streets indeed.

Of course, if Chandor keeps making films like this he isn't going to wow the Academy, (though he did wow the National Board of Review who chose it as the years best picture), or bring in the big bucks not because ""A Most Violent Year"" is below par, (it isn't; it's easily one of the best pictures of last year), but because he makes the kind of intelligent pictures about subjects other directors tend to shy away from, (the financial fall-out in ""Margin Call""; a one-man show and set in the middle of the Ocean in ""All is Lost""). He's also proved himself a great director of actors and a writer of uncommon intelligence. The fact that this film failed to pick up a single Oscar nomination speaks volumes about the Academy's tunnel-vision. Seek it out, it's superb.",9
"First things first. Captain America was not one of my Avengers to watch. But, after watching Endgame my opinion greatly changed. This movie, shows grit, action and great screen writing. There are no flaws in this plot. American hero, with amazing ethics and ...integrity. Robert Redford character floored me; people, certain people are watched monitored and are eliminated to have a better controlled society ...Hydra. abd an ex Hydra scientist downloaded his consciousness to assist in the black op government. Captain confronting Nick Fury and finally meeting his childhood friend who was now a Hydra agent. The battle was done well in this movie. And the new friendships emerged. Greatly enjoyed this movie and highly recommend it as part of the Avenger collection .",9
The boys is an interesting subject with lot of fun scenes. It's very nice to watch all the episodes,7
I think we are witnessing Jennifer's rising. Perfect acting and perfect subject in here. Absolutely I recommend.,9
"Be one who read the book before it was made into a film, I was not entertained. The few things I saw that were the same were, the Title, Characters and the concept of the Story. As I watched the film I kept waiting for all of the great things that I fell in love with in the book to happen, but I was left with wanting more.The movie felt rushed in someplace and others left something to the imagination. From a movie stand point, the film was done with the understanding of how to drew a crowed and make money. The adaptation from the book to film was done very poorly and in my opinion didn't convey what the writer intended and what i fell in love with.",5
"I really enjoyed Knives Out and was looking forward to the sequel with much anticipation ever since it was announced. I was, however, disappointed.

With Glass Onion, director and writer Rian Johnson shows once again that he can carefully craft an intriguing story with brilliant direction. But with a bigger budget comes many challenges and unfortunately the movie fails when it is trying too be too extravagant and a spectacle for the viewers.

The core story is very interesting and after a dull start, the middle of the film really hits it's stride with Johnson moving his playing pieces about with ease and wonderment. That was when i most enjoyed the movie.

But the ending was ultimately disappointing. Childish humour and some sequences that were clearly for spectacle which i can only describe as 'throwing a tantrum' ruined this movie for me.

I had some fun with this but was left feeling robbed as there was definitely a compelling enough story here for this to be another great movie. I do feel the more intimate character/story driven moments in this film are where it shines and not in the big budget set pieces.

Watch this if you enjoy the genre, but please lower your expectations before doing so!",6
"Season 1 & 2 were great so expectations were high for 3!! Season 3 was a total let down in most areas. It all seemed a bit lost and not quite sure where it was with itself. With under cover Russian spy's hiding under a shopping mall to terminator type Russian maniac running around (well walking) killing everyone and the very poor slap stick comedy and one liners it kind of lost its intenseness and suspense that 1 & 2 had. With writers throwing 80's nostalgia at you with every single chance they got and goofball humour it kinda took away from what stranger things was originally about, the whole science fiction/ horror feel. It was there in small doses but was lost between chaotic and slapstick storylines between various character types. Overall I was really disappointed and left wanting a bit more. Could of been so much better.",6
I love thats its always something new in every episode. Makes me think about the future and the different paths that us as people and science can go which i love. And i hope to see more seasons to come!!,9
"I almost walked out of the theater when I saw this movie. I usually love Tom Hanks, but his acting was wooden and his character was unbelievable. I was very disappointed when it received an academy award. The movie was supposed to be inspiring, but it's hard for me to be inspired when there's so little that's recognizable about a character. I think the reason the box of chocolates line was quoted so much was that that was all that was memorable about the movie. One ""effect"" that I especially disliked was the technique whereby Forrest Gump was included in old footage. In addition, I found myself worrying about Sally Field's career. There was a period in her career when she was in some excellent movies and this role as a pitiful mother definitely seemed like a step down.",1
This is just pathetic. The worst from MCU so far. Hope they get the next TV shows better.,4
"While watching this movie, which was horrible to say the least, 2 things stood out.

1) they needed not one but 2 black men in this movie.

2) the fat unattractive one was killed off early, which Hollywood is known to do with black men in predominantly white movies, the other one (good loooking) was used to push the black white interracial agenda as we see numerous times all across tv, commercials, etc.",1
"I heard so much about this movie before I watched it I couldn't wait. As advertised the special effects were spectacular. However, the movie itself was so cliche and predictable I have to assume it was written by a washed-up old hippie. Here's the plot in a nutshell. The Evil and that's EVIL with a capital E military and corporate complexes want to destroy the pure-as-driven-snow and Angelic and that's ANGELIC with a capital A non-humans who live in the trees and flowers. The Angels are perfect and just want to live their lives in peace smelling flowers and flying dragons. The military guys are all evil (well, except for the one female troop who is innocent and wonderful and the star of the flick who is paralyzed so he is physically unable to perform evil acts any more). The rest of the troops/contractors ... evil and horrible. They'll kill anyone and anything just because. There is no nuance to this movie at all. There are two distinct groups and one is all good and one is all bad. As a 30 year military veteran I was seething when it was over. I wanted to rate it 1 out of 10 stars but that would not be fair to the fantastic special effects. With a little effort this movie could have been outstanding. It wasn't. In my opinion it wasn't even average.",3
"This series has been a complete waste of my time. I have found it to be slow, poor content, and broken story lines. I don't understand how it has such a following.",1
"Chernobyl fills the void that the Game of Thrones (GoT) series finale leaves HBO subscribers. This show alone, is worth the premium cable channel's subscription fee for all of 2019. Network executives were smart to release this show when they did -- HODORing potential HBO subscription cancellations following the GoT finale.

Chernobyl is a 5-part mini-series that provides great acting, thrilling scenes, and effective story telling of the horrors of the greatest nuclear disaster in history. It's hard to imagine the events depicted in this show actually happened. Each episode leaves viewers wanting more -- more minutes, more scenes, more show, and most importantly, more insight into the potentially forgotten stories that occurred in 1986 due to politically motivated cover-ups.

Production is top-notch, as are the extras available on the HBO app, providing more context regarding not only the show, but the actual historical event itself. There is a podcast from the show creators intended to supplement each episode to provide even more insight into the life and times of those that actually lived through this disaster. This content mix provides an immersive experience that goes far beyond each 60 minute episode, if you're interested... which you certainly will be.",9
"Bradley Cooper, Lady Gaga and Sam Elliot were PHENOMENAL in the roles!! The story, not so much. It felt so erratic and jumbled. I am happy to have seen it for the sake of the actors because I LOVE them, but they deserved a better story line.",5
I mean come on. WandaVision even had its own original intro music. This is just looking plain and boring,1
"Not really sure what this is all about. Kinda of interesting, kinda dull. I don't look forward to it each week the same way I did with Wandavision. I don't really care much about the characters and the storyline is 1 dimensional. Hopefully the last 3 episodes will be worthwhile. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come with Disney's treatment of the MCU.",4
"For a film that begins with the remark ""this is the truth, sorry"", The Fault in Our Stars could up its honesty quotient. Slickly made and very nicely acted within the confines allowed by the script, Josh Boone's adaptation of John Green's young-adult blockbuster novel nonetheless can't help but sell candour (not to mention plausibility) down a tear-laden river in its tale of young love cut short by cancer.

I was more or less going along with a narrative that sells its lack of sentimentality like a badge of honour - until a scene set at the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam of such startling insensitivity and phoniness that all the movie's faults suddenly come crashing down around it.

To backtrack, this is the tale of Hazel Grace Lancaster (Shailene Woodley, making her bid for the big time), an indrawn 16-year-old with a conspicuous lack of friends who was diagnosed age 13 with cancer, since which time she wears plastic tubing to help her breathe and carries around a portable oxygen tank as a visual reminder of the baggage - both physiological and psychic - that her illness has brought with it. Wry, sardonic, and determined not to milk her ailment for easy bathos, Hazel finds her self-containment thrown amorously off-guard by the arrival in her life of Augustus Waters (Ansel Elgort), a dashing, witty 18-year-old who has lost part of one leg to cancer. Completing the adolescent triptych is Gus's great friend Isaac (the winning Nat Wolff, an alumnus of Boone's 2013 film Stuck in Love), who is going blind and spends most of the film sightless, his eyes hidden behind dark glasses.

One instead waits in vain for any of the characters to be resentful or dangerously angry or even to indulge the self-pity that is theirs by right, and one includes in this parents who on this evidence constitute a supremely self-sacrificing lot, the excellent Laura Dern and Sam Trammell as Hazel's mum and dad chief among them. (The two are pictured above left.) A final meltdown from Gus notwithstanding, our central pair ultimately come across as ever-attractive, always-engaging poster children for forbearance. Where are the abrasions - the rough-and-tumble of the soul as well as the distress to the body - that arrive all too fully with illness? On this evidence, they remain tucked away behind preternatural poise until such time as there is a cue for tears. This movie can parade its ""truth"" as much as it likes, but I for one don't buy it.",5
Performance of Abhishek and Aish is the Strong point of the movie. Both of them had shown their best caliber. AR Rahman's music does magic in the background. Dhirubhai Ambani's biopic had to be grand and this is grand for sure.,8
"I have just dragged back from a friend's home after suffering thru this ""Eternal Monsoon of the Addlepated Cerebellum."" I feel goofy from watching it. You don't so much watch it as suffer through it. Perhaps this is the vogue nowadays to have jerky sequences signifying nothing much at all but a morass of frenetic activity pass as avant-garde film-making, but it's lost on me. I read a review by a famous Chicago reviewer who claims there's emotional involvement of the viewer with the main characters. Well, not with my friend and me. We were put off by these two sad cases - Jim Carrey a subdued and lonely, rather conservative man, and Kate Winslet as a hoyden given to obscuring her beauteous charms under flagrantly dyed hair ranging in shades of Day Glo orange to Mood Indigo Blue. What a waste of this fine actress. The only good thing I saw was the welcome tamping down of Carrey's normal ebullience to a rather more approachable and assimilable sort of male creature, albeit shot through with insecurities and given to impulses only made understandable by watching the flick through. But who wants or needs to see what happens to either of these (again let me use the adjective)GOOFY characters? Not we! I chose this film on the basis of the awards it has both been nominated for and has garnered, the crown jewel being Winslet's nomination for the Academy Award! Who nominated her for this schlock? I rather think she should put a bag over her head! Try to hide this one from her resume! What is to be happy about in a role so chaotic and obscure? I know nothing about this flighty, maddening woman, having watched this film! Who would want to hitch their wagon to Winslet in this movie? A lunatic! I would like Lacuna Corp. to erase the memory of having seen this film from my brain, even with the threat of the Lacuna employees bouncing on either side of me on my bed of tortured electrodes while they clean house and do a clean sweep of my cranium! These tormented employees seem to be full of frantic actions as well as the crazed ""heroine."" Kirsten Dunst proves she has not an ounce of fat as she hops about prior to copulation with wild-haired Mark Ruffalo and then, unsated, begins an immediate seduction of her boss, the grand suave Doctor of this mad Lacuna outfit. What a GOOFY group these people make and what a dingbat dunce-cap of a movie they inhabit! I am loony from watching it and I am going to bed now and try to sleep it off. I hope I don't have flashbacks! Oh, welcome Senility! I want no short-term memory of this wild, manic, episodic Endurance Contest to darken my dreams!",1
"The writing is mesmerising, the cast and acting is sublime, the music choices are perfect, the directing and cinematography is one of a kind, and it remains not only Tarantino's best movie, but one of the all time most important and impressive feats of filmmaking.

Infinitely rewatchable, quotable, and referenced. Its influence is being felt and seen throughout all forms of media to this day.

It's been one of my favourite movies since I first saw it as kid in the 90s, and the likely thousands of times I've seen it since. I would casually watch it when eating a few big sandwiches and large coke (before I stopped drinking sugary drinks for health reasons), feeling like I was at Jackrabbit Slims at that table with Uma & John, where the most memorable meal conversation in movie history takes place.

This is one of the few movies that I can confidently say that anyone who doesn't think it's a 10/10 needs to have their movie card confiscated.

From the countless times I've seen it, I can't think of anything I don't like about it, or any obvious faults or flaws.

If you haven't seen it, what's wrong with you?",5
"Worst movie tarantino....sorry man , not captive at all ...",5
"A team of Las Vegas illusionists called The Four Horsemen pull off a series of spectacular heists, donating their ill-gotten gains to their needy audiences.

I cannot say that I wasn't entertained to some degree by Now You See Me's sheer preposterousness: I find it hard to completely hate unabashed nonsense on such a grand scale. Clearly, the film's greatest trick was getting the green-light in the first place. I'd like to know how they did that!

Ridiculous plot twists abound, countless scenes are left unexplained, and characters conveniently behave exactly as the convoluted plot demands. It's all so far-fetched, and yet played with such seriousness, I was sure there would be an incredibly clever and hugely satisfying pay-off that would make it all worthwhile. Sadly, director Louis Leterrier fails to pull the rug from under the viewer's feet with a mind-blowingly brilliant ending. What he actually delivers is even more ludicrous than all that has gone before. And that takes some doing.",4
"Parasite (2019) -

I probably wouldn't have gone anywhere near this film if it hadn't featured on the up to date IMDB Top 250 films and personally I would have kept 'Snow White And The Seven Dwarves' (1937) from their Top 100 list and left this one off, but it wasn't a bad film at all.

I could see the appeal in this one, because it managed to be a little bit of everything, all in just one film. It was clever how the ""Poor"" family manipulated the ""Rich"" family and that element to start with was quite witty, but then things went in a different direction and all sorts of drama, horror and thrilling styles came in to play.

I can only really compare it to 'From Dusk Till Dawn' (1996) in that respect, having had no idea of the twist that occurred in that one either. I'm not saying that there are definitely Vampires, but there could be. And actually anything could have happened as the story progressed with secrets and events that I hadn't even considered at the outset.

The only other film that I could see similarities to would be 'The Handmaiden' (2016), also from South Korea and a film where things weren't always as they seemed either.

I'm not sure how good the acting was in this one, because I find it really difficult with foreign language films to feel the emotion and that is certainly the case with Asian stories with their exaggerated humour elements akin to Anime or sometimes even those crazy Japanese game shows where the contestants are basically repeatedly tortured in a 'Krypton Factor' (1977-2013) style, but without the health and safety people on hand.

I think the ""Rich"" Mum, Yeon Kyo was probably a bit over the top, although she appeared to fit quite well as the film progressed.

Ultimately, what started out as quite a lighthearted and cheeky hustle film, very quickly became something severe and psychotic that was very dark and twisted in some very odd directions. I wouldn't say that I didn't like it, but I felt that there was a translation issue, although it did seem far easier to liken it to cinema of British or U. S. origin than others I've watched.

It really would be hard to quantify as one type of film, but I suppose it would be best classed as a dark dramatic comedy?

"Full of holes script that could have been amazing but the main issues being the PG13 and the terrible script, completely destroyed the film. It is almost unwatchable",3
"The film sets things up so you expect they'll go one way, but at the start of the 2nd act its revealed that its entirely a different premise. Its a big twist that does well to revive a narrative thats already begun to sag, but unfortunately once the big twist is revealed the film soon falls into another narrative lull.

The conclusion failed to move me as it felt the screenplay was simply going through the motions to pull off a climax that was never really established for me. That said, its an okay film to while away a few hours on a boring weeknight. It gets a 7/10.",7

"I hated this movie. It was well made and well acted but I really disliked it. This movie was exactly what the title suggested. It was A LOT. For those who are into this style of movie, I hope you enjoy. For people like me that can't take 150 mins of a visual assault, I suggest you pass.",3
It is an awesome anime. Now some might think that how can anime be enjoyable when the main character defeats everyone with just one punch. But they will be surprised by how good this show is. This show has some incredible fight scenes. And the show is extremely funny. The comedies are awesome. This show is incredible. A must watch,9
"I have been an extremely loyal fan of the show since its debut. Series one and two of Sherlock convinced me of its 10-star quality. It was intelligent, witty, well-paced, subtle, and with the best spots of black humor and humanity. Series three has been beyond disappointing. As each episode premiered, I was praying that it would get better. That the show could somehow revert back into the quality themes and writing of the first two series. This never happened. The writers seem to be over-indulgent, sloppy, and hectic during the third season. Devoting time to slapstick comedy, dead-end plots, endless plot holes, erratic case scenarios, and irrelevancies. Most disappointing of all was the lack of any case akin to series one and two, lending the focus on to the main characters. If this had been done with elegance, it could have been delightful, but the completely solipsistic studies turn the charm of the subtle emotional reveals of series one and two into constant barrages of overdramatic declarations, and a light treatment of grief, death, torment, separation - the emotional aspects that actually needed to be handled. I feel as if I am watching an entirely new show, and it is one that I am disinclined to keep up with.",7

"Concierge M. Gustave (Ralph Fiennes) is accused of murder of one of the Hotel's more wealthy clients, goes on the run, is captured and goes to prison. Then he escapes.

What they showed in the promos were some of the most clever skits and I thought I would enjoy this. Didn't happen. The story was simple enough but the director made it more complicated than it should have been. I believe the idea here was to incorporate fantastic visuals regarding the photography, and cinematography. And, they were fantastic. Visions of SIN CITY and DICK TRACY visuals filled my head at those times.

This story was dragged out to the glee of some and no-glee to others including me. Yes, I took a few naps along the way and missed nothing. The dialogues were all monotone which helped the road to slumber land at times. ( Monotone? Really?) Yes.

Although billed as a comedy, there was nothing funny in here. A few clever lines, and bewildered looks do not a funny movie make. I won't mention that sometimes the characters spoke so fast I had no idea what was said and just went with it hoping that something later on would translate those dialogues into something that I could understand. But, I won't mention that. HA!

The only funny thing I, sort of, laughed at was when Kovacs (Jeff Goldblum) notices that Jopling (Willem Dafoe) throws his cat out the window. More slap-stick in here would have gone a long way to being a funny movie. If no comedic lines would be forthcoming, bring on more slap-stick. Didn't happen.

I enjoyed Ralph Fiennes as the Concierge and if he had only been given better comedic lines and rose above the monotone acoustic level, he would have been as fantastic as the photography and cinematography were. Yes, yes, I do understand that his position really wouldn't allow for that but…….. Didn't happen. In a word, this turned out to be quite boring. By stifling Fiennes' character Gustave this became, well……… still quite boring.

I did recognize Bill Murray as Ivan, Jude Law as the young writer, Jeff Goldblum as Kovacs, and Willem Dafoe as Jopling and they were okay. There were other stars in here with small parts, but they were in camouflage mode and I didn't readily recognize them. See if you can.

In the beginning there were hints of sexual hi-jinks with someone being serviced orally and later we see a graphic painting of nude lesbians touching each other. I thought there would be more of this along the way, but the director was still too concerned with the photography and cinematography and as mentioned these were fantastic and we saw no more sexual hi-jinks.

This was way too long and lost me often, but keep in mind the focus was to present the photography and cinematography and that was successful. The dialogues were entirely predictable run-of-the-mill utterances. Not good.

All in all this was very disappointing and not the class act some think it is. Boo Hoo. (3/10)

When I sat down to watch this, at the first glimpse I was a bit disappointed. The show started in a somewhat different way than I imagined. Few minutes later, I found out that the 'difference' I experienced is what makes this series unique and brilliant. The cast is spot on. Couldn't have picked a better guy for Holmes or Lestrade. Yet, Dr. Watson doesn't match the original picture.Who cares hey? The story is full of twists and turns and fascinating to see the techniques of deduction.It has a very strong base.

"In 1968, Stanley Kubrick made 2001, in which incredible technical obstacles are solved to send a man though a worm-hole to meet aliens, but he meets his older and younger selves instead and learns ... something, etc. In 1997, Lynda Obst made Contact, co-starring Matthew McConaughey, in which incredible technical obstacles are solved to send a woman though a worm-hole to meet aliens, but she meets her younger father instead and learns that Love is Stronger than ... something, etc. In 2014, Lynda Obst made Insterstellar, starring Matthew McConaughey, in which incredible technical obstacles are solved to send a man though a worm-hole to meet aliens, but he meets his grown-up and then elderly daughter instead, and learns that Love is Stronger than ... the gravity of a black hole, or something, etc. I believe the incredibly loud music was deliberately mixed to cover up lots of dialogue because the filmmakers listened to the dialogue in the rough cut and realized what they had on their hands.",1

Boring. Very boring. Was expecting more but this show was tedious and unbelievably boring. Zzzzzzzz.....,1
Watching this series was a truly waste of time. Please go and find something better to do or to watch rather than watching this boring series tbh. I won't deny that i would love to praise daisy and paul for their acting skills but the storyline is so basic and the series itself contains alot of sexual scenes which is kinda revolve about the sexual stuff more than anything else which is for me is kinda boring and lacking great or at least good storyline. I don't recommend this series tbh.,5
"""Dunkirk"" is an intense and thrilling war film that really keeps you on the edge of your seat. The movie tells the harrowing true story of the evacuation of Dunkirk during World War II. The non-linear narrative and immersive cinematography create a sense of urgency and tension throughout. The performances are solid, and the score by Hans Zimmer adds to the overall intensity. ""Dunkirk"" is a unique war film that focuses more on the experience and survival rather than traditional storytelling. It's definitely worth watching if you're into war movies or want to learn more about this historical event.",7
"Wow is right ! I was really thinking, after the 1st 2 new series that the Glory days of Marvel were over & diminishing. These folks who are running Loki are certainly the future. And I hope the powers that be realize it.

Okay - just watched Epi 4 Epi 2 -not so good, but 3 pretty NOT Good. Now Epi 4 redeemed it a bit. Especially the last 3rd. Enough of the lame Martial arts / ""epic"" fight scenes. Very underwhelming.

Now who out there didn't realize when Disney bought the whole Shebang it was gonna pretty much destroy the wonderful Legacy of the 1 decades films. After Infinity, pretty much all the gas in the balloon was used up & now they are just rewriting it all. And trying hard to destroy anything with a whiff of ""whiteness"" or History.

"Love the acting by Leonardo. But I don't get the hype. Sure, some scenes are very good, but it is like a montage of scenes. Some of the character's are very briefly introduced. It is like, we will fix that in post production, but they don't. Quentin usually mixes his own fantasies with violience. And in this movie it is also a tribute to hollywood and some nerdy film references that fly over most peoples heads. Shallow and no meaningful story with a lack of depth. The film is only written and viewed in the perspective of a man. Even though the story evolves around Sharon she is like a side note. Minimizing her to a blonde dumb actress. Quentin fails to tell her story and who she really was. The fate of Sharon Tate (yes it rhymes) and her friends deserves more than this film tried to. I get that it was a different story but it feels like the film failed to mix the reality and filmworld in a good or honorful way.",2

"This film is beautiful, it seems to be filmed in sepia, very atmospheric, the lead actor is brilliant, trying to do the right thing, he is neither villain nor hero but faces the choices we all do between right and wrong. It is placed in the early 80's and does not over egg the era. What I want in a movie is the movie to entertain this does it in spades, the people really care and it shows with the script, music score, wonderful acting, this is an excellent movie.

The story is simple an immigrant trying to forge a business but is faced with competition stealing his oil, his employees threatened and the movie is based on his reaction, does he deal with fire with fire? or does he try to take the right road. Watch this film, a wonderful experience.",9
"The ambience is plastic-like like in the Phantom Menace.

I took my mom, who is 70, and loved watching her turn into a little girl again. She kept saying ""I remember that Barbie!"" regarding Midge and Allen. I can see why guys don't enjoy it as much, but the point is, this movie is for women, by women, and very much enjoyed by women. The message is for all though, and I'm sad some people don't get it. Little girls can go and be enthralled with all the colors. There's nothing too overt for them to see. Mostly the movie will go over their heads.",9

Never have i seen a more stupid movie than this.

Infact at the end of the day i don't know what i learnt from this movie, i heard there is a first maybe i would watch that one. But honestly i really wanted to like this movie, but it just wasn't giving the mystery vibe.",1
"(No Spoiler)

Definetly worth the watch for the beautiful way of portraying the entire essence of what it stands for as a web series,the parallels drawn between its various characters,the topic makes us think which in itself is a great achievement for the web series, the wonderful Anurag Kashyap camera angles & screenplay & the dynamic actor duos - Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Pankaj Tripathi ! 😍👌👏 Their chemistry worked wonders ! 😂

But it does have certain significant problems too -

1)flawed development of some of it's characters 2)weird ageing patterns of its characters(this was so irritating at times) 3)Sudden use of Marathi language,that too so many times, which was so disconnecting as an audience(needed subtitles for that) 4)cliché cinematic moments, at times, predictable too 5)Sometimes the story-telling lost pace(but that was still acceptable as it tried to create an atmosphere for the viewer to sink in to) 6)completely foolish acts performed by some of it's characters at key moments which were way too absurd to actually accept.

Over all, I did expect a lot more from this season.It did deliver on many grounds,gave some really hard-hitting, effective episodes(specially episodes 5 & 6) and kept it pretty interesting till the very end.

The sad part is that somewhere it succumbed to the clichés of story-telling which made it lose it's unpredictability factor and at times,it's liveliness too but still it was pretty engaging & got me hooked on to it till the very end ! Would be waiting for the 3rd season eagerly !",9
"I am a huge fan of Steve Martin. When I was a little girl in the 80's I wanted to marry him thanks to the movie The Jerk 😂

This show is amazing, and refreshing. I love all the characters. I love their dynamic together. Martin Short is hilarious. He always adds such zest to whatever he is in. Selena Gomez is actually really good. If you get what kind/type of person she is portraying she will be both funny, and understandable to you. This show is a rare type in that I can watch multiple episodes in a row, and not even want to stop (binge watching, as the kids call it). Usually I don't like watching tv at all but this show sucks me in, and I can't stop watching. Wanting to know what the next episode has to offer.

The second season was as exciting as the first. It was great to see Shirley MacLaine. Though I do hope that we won't be seeing any more of Amy Schumer. There is something about her that just gets right on my last nerve. I cannot wait to see what next season, and any following seasons, will offer.",9

"This is a very emotional, crazy, and sweet story. It has that book feeling; I have read stories of this kind, with the friendship of a triangle that has to face several obstacles and still be loyal to each other. It starts with the goofy adventures of three friends in a war context. Their life in Amsterdam is their bliss, their finest moment, but they have to return to ""real life,"" and then it transforms into a story about political plots about the war to come (WW2). It is a great movie, and I have read it didn't do well with the audience, which disappoints me about the modern spectator. It is unfair, as this is an intelligent, well-written movie. Maybe it had too many characters, but what a luxury to see all these fantastic actors together. I think that we have to appreciate good stories; we need them. We have to enjoy stories that talk about our history and the subplot behind horrible things such as war and the people behind it. The De Niro character is based on a real person, and that deserves our attention.

See it.",8

If I were to rate it based on season 1, then I would give it a 7 or 8

I don't get why they decided to continue with this show because the 1st season is self contained, there is really nowhere to go.

To be honest I abandoned the 2nd season after a couple of episodes, it is just not good and the time travel thing does not even make sense.

I don't think people really care about what happened in the main character's past, it is not really that interesting.

What was interesting about this show was the die/loop thing, not the character's family history/dramas.",5

In 'Searching' an intriguing and ambitious premise is quickly ruined by sloppy writing - trying to create a whodunnit mystery that makes so little sense that it will actually make you laugh.

It seems the the writer has done absolutely no research into how missing person investigations are conducted. No spoilers here but if you are a true crime junkie, you will be shaking your head throughout the whole second half.

Some alright acting and some pretty crappy acting actually, an entire film seen through the cluttered space of a computer desktop (no cinematography awards here), and an ending that is shocking(ly stupid). Disappointing.",5
Great show but it was rushed and certain incidents were not explained.,7
"This film is aimed at kids/teenagers

If you are over the age of 25 and are male or if you are a genuine fan of boxing you are unlikely to enjoy this film

Here are a few things that really wound me up about this film:

1) The storyline was beyond predictable. It's been done a million times. Where were the plot twists? The only twist is his wife dying which is in the synopsis.

2) There is no credible explanation as to how he has gone from living in this huge mansion with all his fancy cars, giving away rolexes to his pals for fun, to living in a bedsit with no food.

3) His record is 43 wins, 0 defeats, yet he is seen as a boxer who never bothers to block. Those are Mayweather stats. He would be one of the greatest of all time. But he is portrayed as a rough diamond. And the guy who is a young unheard of at the start of the film, a few months on, is described as technically the better fighter. This really ground my gears

4) The boxing scenes were so over the top, no one blocks. Every punch connects. I know it's only a film but I like a bit of realism

I had only heard good things about this film, although admittedly from an emotional young woman who obviously fancied the protagonist and my 22 year old house mate who would call any film he watched in the cinema, a work of art. I couldn't wait for it to end",3
Seems to be standard marvel fair. Got good action and some funny bits and I'm sure I'll watch the whole series BUT the CGI is terrible and why is Poe Dameron doing a really bad impression of Ricky Gervais? Even Dick Van Dyke would have cringed at the accent.,7
"I found the 1st Iron Man film great, the 2nd a bit disappointing but this one tedious. The main problem, I think, is its lack of any idea of pacing. Instead it has sci-fi style action followed by a scene that attempts to outdo its predecessor. The net effect is just a whole load of action scenes strung together with the vaguest semblance of a plot.",3
"I loved the plot of the story! A lot happens in each episode which keeps you on the edge of your seat. The best thing was that it has only 6 episodes in it, if it had more then it would have been a drag. The only negative I have about this show was the ending. I'm not going to say about it, but according to me the ending could have been better.",8
"The movie which won Oscar for the best picture, is certainly the best picture for the year. Having watched all the nominated movies for Best director category, the academy should've given award to Steve McQueen too for this emotional pre-Civil war movie, IMO. Still the academy awarded the movie for the awesome screenplay. Lupita (the girl who won Oscar for the supporting actress), was too good esp. with the sobbing and torture scenes (made me cry almost). I detested Tarantino's Django, but now I feel like I may like it after seeing this.

Somehow I could relate this movie to an Indian (Tamil language) movie named Paradisi released in earlier 2013. Both of these movies deals with slavery and the protagonist falling into it (not by his own will). In Both, the protagonist is separated from his wife and children without their knowledge. Since I am an Indian and have seen the regional movie before this. So I couldn't give it a full 10/10.

Bottom line : A must-see movie. Not for kids for torture and nude scenes. Not for sensitive audiences too.",8

"Many critics have labeled ""Spiderman 2"" as the best superhero film ever. The film was quite entertaining, but I think many of these critics got caught up in the spider trap. As its infamous predecessor- the film did incorporate sensational special effects, paradoxical personal dilemmas, sacrificing love intricacies, and stirring action sequences. However, to say that it was much better than the original would be an overstatement. I think these critics were ""climbing off the walls"" with their calenture for ""Spiderman 2"". Sam Raimi must be once again commended for his swashbuckling direction of ""Spiderman 2"". Raimi, who directed my own personal favorite superhero film ""Darkman"", is the premier director for this type of film genre. Tobey Maguire's performance as the web-slinging crusader was adequate but not of superheroic proportions. Alfred Molina was quite a handful or should I say handfuls as the villainous Dr. Octopus (Ock). However, the remaining supporting cast of ""Spiderman 2"" (James Franco, Kirsten Dunst, and Rosemary Harris) did not entrap me too much into their world wide web of acting. They were far better in the original. In spide, I mean spite of it all, ""Spiderman 2"" is still one worth hanging on to and checking out. **** Good",7
"Annabelle: Comes Home feels weaker to me then Annabelle: Creation, and I would rate it about as high as The Nun. The jumpscares ranged from ok to meh and there were a lot of suspense-building scenes. However, there is no sense of mystery in the movie, so getting scared by demons/ghosts or waiting for that to happen is pretty much the only thing you're seeing. There's no interesting backstory, no interesting though a lot new monsters and no real character development. No downtime where the characters can catch a breath and discuss about what's really going on. Just tensefull scene after tensefull scene and this became a bit of a drag for me. The scenery is also pretty boring compared to that castle in the Nun or the houses of the Conjuring and Annabelle: Creation that seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. Looked as if they wanted to keep the budget as low as possible here. It's a simple horror flick, that you have already scene in the conjuring films over and over.",4
"Talk about over-hyped. 1. Boring story - relentless boring banter between characters. Typical story that's been told a million times. Nothing wrong with that as such, but equally, doesn't add to the experience. 2. Bad acting - acting was wooden (with the exception of Forest Whitaker). Felt like you were watching a live amateur play where the characters are reading live from a script. 3. Boring action - if you can manage to put up with the boring dialogue, then there's little to gain from the action. Very average at best, something you would expect in a TV episode. 4. CGI - the CGI effects are something along the lines of a good TV series, not really up there with a top movie production.

To Sum Up

Due to the wooden acting, the movie lacks passion. With the predictable non-exciting story and the action and CGI being average, Black Panther is simply dull and boring.",2
"Everyone close to me knows I'm a SUCKER for a good heist film. I mean Inside Man, Set it Off, and Catch me If you Can just to name a few. So 'Now You See Me' was a movie that I wanted to see from the first time I seen the trailer. Not only is it a high class heist film, but it also is starring Jesse Eisenberg (Who reallllly impressed me in the Social Network), Morgan Freeman, and Mark Ruffalo. Needless to say the star power is there. With that said, it's an entertaining movie, however I was extremely disappointed.

OK honestly there is more character development in the trailer of World War Z than there is in this movie! You gain ABSOLUTELY NO connection to any of the characters. I mean in the first 4 minutes of Superman there is more character development than there is in this whole movie. (Oh yeah superman review coming shortly after this one.)

The story was OK, they didn't go deep enough into the actual motive. The tricks were cool, actually I am convinced Jesse Eisenbergs opening number was a real trick, because I even picked the same number that shows up on the tower. The story took the easy way out at the end, and makes the whole movie feel somewhat pointless, and the journey to the end wasn't very fun because the lack of connection, or feel of motive.

Overall

As A Heist Movie 1/5....This is a tough category for me because of other heist movies, and this one DEFINITELY lacked.

"""Captain America: The Winter Soldier"" is a solid sequel to 2011's ""Captain America: The First Avenger."" Screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have come up with an entertaining plot that offers a modicum of character development to go along with all the mayhem, chase scenes and CGI effects that are the life's blood of the modern- day action flick.

In this installment, '40's relic Steve Rogers (he even has an all- American name) is still adjusting to life as a superhero in the 21st Century when he discovers that S.H.I.E.L.D, the fictional spy agency, has been infiltrated and taken over by a traitorous organization known as HYDRA. Rogers has no idea who he can and cannot trust as he endeavors to save S.H.I.E.L.D. and the world at large from certain destruction. Enter the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), a manufactured super being similar to Rogers, who just happens, however, to fight for the other side.

As the granite-jawed, all-American-boy hero, Chris Evans possesses a good-guy earnestness and a disarming charm that fit the character nicely, and he's matched by such stellar figures as Robert Redford, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, etc.

It's all in good fun, and the time passes quickly, but, when all is said and done, you probably won't remember much about ""The Winter Soldier"" a few hours after it's over. But, then again, that's not exactly what modern Hollywood blockbusters are all about anyway.",7

So most of us would agree that in that twilight zone our brain unleashes its creativity, no longer bound by the constraints of reality, and that allows us to dream the most crazy and amazing stuff. And most bizarre and incoherent also. Especially if there were some substances consumed beforehand.

In that sense, I'd agree with those who say that Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is an animation film we could dream for. I'm far from the comic book culture, but even I can admire the visual style of this film, made so that any still out of it could actually pass for a real comic book's frame. That aesthetics is brilliantly done, no questions about it.

The rest of admiration, however, heavily depends on how much you are into TV cartoons, comic books and Spider-Man himself. This film loves to reiterate over and over again that it's based on an established universe, so there's an abundance of Spider-Man movie references and other allusions. If such things make you gasp in awe and maybe even shed a tear of nostalgic affection, you'll love it all. But for me as a non-Spider-man-acolyte, this soon became somewhat boring. I wanted to see something new, something unexpected.

And something new I did receive! In the form of a slapstick action multiplied by the pseudo-scientific stuff as grotesquely absurd as it was far-fetched. And I can clearly see how Sony was inspired by the likes of Big Hero 6 and its outright fusion of the Western and Eastern kid entertainment culture, and of Ant-man and even Dr. Strange and their abundance of moving colored specks and nonsensical words in lieu of common sense. The deeper we go into the Spider-Verse, the more bizarre it looks, feels and acts, until we're forced to accept that there are no rules anymore to cling to and that pigs can indeed fly, just as trains.

I do appreciate bringing a new stylistic vision into the world of full feature animation. But I can't say as much about bringing a popcorn bucket of LSD along with it, turning everything into a final battle from Final Fantasy, with its constant sparkle and rush and a muffled feeling that it used to mean something, but now you can't remember what exactly and it's way too late to stop and think about it.

It was a fascinating trip while it lasted, but praising it as something more than that would be like retelling your dreams to someone else: you'd end up realizing how little sense your words make and feeling embarrassed about the whole idea.",6

"Massively disappointed in civil war. Considering how amazing winter soldier was, this was at times a dumpster fire. Plot is a mess. Zemo as the villain is pathetic and the convoluted time table he creates to get what he wants is just ridiculous. Tom Holland though as Spider man was perfection. Truly saved the movie. And Paul Rudd as Ant Man. Nothing else I can say. It's a throw away summer movie and meh. Very very disappointed. I do not want to give anything away, but when the big reveal at the end happens, well you are just left saying ""really ? Are you kidding??"". My lord what can I say about the ridiculousness of Vision in a cardigan sweater and slacks. And even crowbarred in the potential love blossoming between Scarlet Witch and Vision. Maybe a smidge better than age of Ultron, but a world worse than Winter Soldier.",6
"I watched this with my wife and we both were mesmerised. My wife even more than me. We loved Yennefer and Geralt's portrail. I played the Witcher 3 in the past, never really got it. But this show makes it all come together. Sure there were some parts which were a bit slower, especially the Ciri parts, but I did not mind at all.

We especially loved the time jumps. The shows doesn't treat you like you are an idiot. Figure it out yourself. We hope it stays like this the entire series.

And of course: ""Toss a Coin to your witcher!.....""",9
"Fargo is one of the best films of the Coen , here they drive very well, and they know how to make good characters , and of course good stories , the plot of this film is very interesting , the cast is good, William H. Macy , Frances McDormand , Steve Buscemi in my opinion is the best performance of the film, your character is kind of clumsy and funny, Peter Stormare and etc , some actors are properly superficial , more Coen can get good performances from much of the cast, the script is good, more is through exaggerated at times, and found the end means unnecessary , should have 20 minutes at least , the picture is very good, and the soundtrack is also good , Fargo is very good, recommended compulsory for every fan of a thriller.

"The controversial 13 Reasons Why on Netflix is a show created by Brian Yorkey, a new face to the TV production and writing platform, and is based on a novel written by Jay Asher. It is about a girl, Hannah Baker, who commits suicide and sends out 13 taped detailing why she decided to take her own life. The story revolves around a good friend of hers named Clay Jensen and his experience listening to the tapes. The show stars Dylan Minnette as Clay Jensen, who has been featured in well regarded films such as Don't Breath and Prisoners as well as critically acclaimed TV shows such as Lost. Katherine Langford stars as Hannah Baker. She has far less experience in the Hollywood scene then Dylan. 13 Reasons Why is her debut performance in television. That being said, both lead actors give strong leading performances. They are very intense, disturbing, and dark at times. And other times they can be very tongue and cheek and joyful. The Australian Katherine Langford does a very good job of disguising her accent to portray Hannah Baker. Watching her performance it is very hard to believe that she hasn't starred in any noteworthy television shows or movies in the past. The whole cast gives remarkable performances. Considering that most of the actors in this show are in there early twenties or younger, it is remarkable that the performances in this show are so professional. I did not get a sense of any amateur acting or too little experience among any of the cast members, which usually happens when a movie or show featuring too many young actors gets made. This show is also different from most high school dramas in the sense that it tries to push away clichés as much as possible and portray the high school experience as accurately as possible. It treats the characters as adults who happen to be in high school rather than the stereotypical high school kid you see in shows such as Saved by the Bell. It fails in some senses. There are still the stereotypical jocks who go around bullying people. Also the creepy nerds and the emo kids, so on and so forth. The characters are also far more one dimensional than I would like them to be. There were many opportunities for the writers of this show to really flesh out he characters and most of them were no taken. For example, one of the characters who is an in- the-closet homosexual could have really been given a rich backstory but we are left knowing very little about her other than she's a highly regarded straight A student and both her parents are gay. Even Hannah could have been fleshed out more. We are left not knowing anything about the school she moved from or her mental state prior to her experiences. That is my main problem with this show. It tries to focus too much on the moral of the story rather than the characters and plot development. But this show does do a better job of accurately portraying the dark side of the high school experience better than most shows. There are so many dark, stomach turning subjects covered that I can't even began to get into how depressing this show is. I highly don't recommend watching this so if you are easily triggered. There is a reason that there is so much controversy surrounding this show. If you can get past that, you will find that this show is beautifully directed, seamlessly edited, filled with beautiful shot compositions and cinematography. It feels atmospheric at times, being accompanied by an angst-filled soundtrack. Hannah's narration is so poetic. There are fantastic performances all throughout the show. The fact that it was made so well makes the show even more disturbing. This show gets right in your face with issues of sexual harassment, slut shaming, familial abuse, rape and suicide. It is supposed to make you feel disturbed and uncomfortable. TRW lets you grasp on to Hannah's experience and shows you her justification for taking her own life. This is one of those pieces of art that is necessary and not easy to watch. It will very likely stick with you for a long time. TRW has an important message behind it that holds the intent of showing the viewer the pressures of young life that can push someone to commit suicide. It brings up the point that no one is disqualified from being a bully, whether it is a popular athlete or an honor student. Anyone's child be could suicidal or could push someone to commit suicide, whether or not they know that they are doing it. Some people will feel that the show is a vital portrayal of teenage suicide and helps those who are or have been suicidal, and to others it will feel like a glorification or fantasization of suicide. There is really no wrong way to watch this series. You can make the argument that it may hurt some people more than it helps them but you can also argue that the opposite is true. What is important is that this show is starting a conversation that needs to be had. Which is actually the purpose of most of these 'social awareness' pieces. Know that the writers of show tried to accurately portray all of these character's experiences by consulting with psychologists and other professionals who have experiences dealing with victims of rape and suicide. They tried to make the experiences of Hannah Baker as three dimensional as they could possibly be. It is in no way easy to watch but this is art mimicking reality.",8
"Pretty boring story centered around an NPC in a game like GTA, which is a pretty bad premise for a movie. The writers sure padded that one paragraph story. Hollywood is such a joke these days. Spineless producers, writers, directors that can't or won't create a memorable set of characters or story.",4

"This is the first time I have watched this series and although the episodes can be a bit depressing they are absolutely great episodes, such a good series, they've really put thought into the episodes and not to mention that you can watch them in any order you want! I think now that I have watched this new series I have to go and watch the rest and I have no doubt in my mind that the older episodes will just be as good. I feel like whoever created this series just though about the series and the episodes with thought, not a lazy made series at all there are too many out there like that where they rubbish.",9
"A lot of people hate superhero movies for it's commercial nature, and they're just made to squeeze money of our pockets. I was one of those people, but this movie gave me a new perspective on the subject matter. It's true that a lot of these movies are just hyped up to make a lot of money for the studios and they don't do anything worthwhile cinema-wise. But with this movie, it's not. Sure it made a gigantic amount of money, but it was a well made film. Of course, unless you haven't seen a lot of good movies, the plot of this film is pretty meh, but the action is incredibly well made. You can feel that the directors put very much thought into every shots, there are some very clever editing moments, the actors and stunt men practiced hard for the choreography, a lot of scenes are done for real then combine with CGI so they look very real, especially the fights with captain America, Buck, and black panther. This is an all out action film, and it delivers, and much more if you're an action fan like me. It's so rare these days for filmmakers to make a good action film. And yeah they do try to set up later movies for spider man and black panther, but at least they put some thought into it, and they don't try to do too much, unlike Batman V Superman, god that movie was ""booooooring"" ( said in Scott Pilgrim's voice ). So if you want to have a good time, pleasure your eyes with actual good action, action that is well thought out, and well practiced and well shot, not just scenes of some stuff blowing up, give this a watch, throw the whole superhero movie thing out the window, this down to it's core is just an action movie, and it will deliver.",7
"I do not know correctness of whole story. I read that in reality there were more than one lawyer.

The story seems to be about managing the perception for start up. The voice change of the character seems to be exaggerated, which really does not seem natural. All of the story looks appealing and story gives an idea that capital is more important than greater good of society.

Over all nice short series, enjoy watching it.",6
"This movie was a big disappointment and after seeing it, we didn't think it deserved the Oscar for Best Picture. Too many pointless silences when they could have spent the time developing the characters and their relationships with each other. What about Solomon's family? The ""whites"" in the movie over acted and it was like watching a high school play. The accents were ridiculous, especially Brad Pitt's one note, overdone ""Southern accent"" when he supposed to be Canadian. His dialog with Michael Fassbender's slave owner character was absurd and unrealistic. His hero stand would not have been tolerated. Frankly, I came away from this finding it hard to believe this was actually written by a slave. Too many pieces don't fit together of a survivor's account.",3
"True Tarantino fan, very high expectations but it was a downright disappointment. Once upon a time .. was extremely slow paced, thin storyline, flat underdeveloped supporting characters, only a couple of those typical Tarantino dialogues, just one true climax at the end, missed the music, only for some short snibbits, all in all not worth the wait. Despite a load of brilliant actors and DiCaprio having his moments, one of Tarantino's most boring films.",5
"Disney is so sneaky. First, they show Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1, which was totally kid-friendly, even though it was rated PG13 like the 2nd volume. So, they hook all the kids into being ecstatic to see this next movie. PARENTS BEWARE!!! If your kids don't understand how penises impregnate women, or if they don't even know what the word penis IS and you don't want them to start asking you about it, then DON'T take them to see this movie. MY GOSH Disney. What kind of crap are you trying to pull? If your first movie was like this, I wouldn't have taken my kids to see it or the 2nd movie, and I wouldn't be complaining now. Responsible parents usually go to a PG13 movie before taking their kids to make sure there won't be any surprises, or they get the review from friends. But, if the first movie is ""safe,"" you expect that the 2nd installment will be, too. NOT! Disney should just get it over with and make a feature length cartoon of Mickey and Minnie getting it on! Make up your mind and think who you want to be, Disney? If they had cut out the penis talk, I would have given this movie 7 stars instead of 2. It was so unnecessary!",2
"I was always a fan of Tarantino's movies but this one.... probably the worst. It's not boring but it's just random, like a day of your life...there are plenty of other movies like this. I feel it got a high rating just because of the actors playing in it. Death proof is much more interesting and entertaining and only has a7/10.",6
"Some good actors like Naveen, Sunny Abhilash made it a worth watch.

"First id like to say I was a big fan of the 98 film back in the day despite its goofy writing. I appreciated the stunning special effects - which by the way has aged wonderfully imo. What can I say I was a 90s kid, the film was specifically marketed to me. Also, the all-star cast gave it a special charm. So the LIS series will always have a special place in my heart thanks to that film.

Ok now that that's out of the way... this series is very well casted. The Robinson siblings are amazing, charismatic, and spontaneous young actors that really give the series personality and one of the few bright spots of this series. Now, not to stir up some sh**, but I've seen many weirdos and socially insecure buffoons taking pot shots at the African American girl and the mother whos a very highly ranked engineer I believe. So, yea, these people see this and automatically dismiss the series based on a minority and a woman in a high position of authority and think it's a big travesty or something. HAHAHA! Can you believe that!?

it's like... 'OH NO WE CANT HAVE A MINORITY AND A WOMAN RUNNING THINGS!! IT'S TOTALLY UNREALISTIC. *ROOOAR!!!*' ...

ehhh, excuse my terrible angry republican impression. But again, I'm truly amazed by the ignorance.

Aesthetically, they do a great job of making things seem really alien, from the wildlife, weather, atmospheric anomalies, to even the grass!! Afterall they are on an alien planet. If I had a nickel for each time a sci-fi series lazily directed an alien world scene or episode and gave no effort into making it look alien id be a zillionaire. Many ups for LIS in that regard I love the attention to detail. Also, the Jupiter ships look of strikingly similar design to that of the Jupiter in the 98 film, I kinda fangirled when I noticed and thought it was a nice touch.

Now that the positives are out of the way Id like to focus the attention on the negatives... which are abundant, sadly.

This series suffers from some head scratching moments and overly goofy flashback scenes ad nauseam. For example, and without spoiling anything... this Dr. Smith character, upon realizing the nature of her character the Jupiter crews do very little about it. Any sane person IRL would've incarcerated the person and thrown away the key, or better yet thrown her out an airlock into deep space. Oh but no not in LIS!! There was also an incident in EP 8 regarding an important shipment of fuel which was hilariously botched by the writing and just painted the entire cast as a buncha sentimental nitwits with no regard for the lively hood of the Jupiter community... I guess they don't want to get off of that planet alive!? Haha. Also the families acceptance of an alien robot was a real mind *uck considering the robot made a very VERY fatal foray into the series. How anyone would want that thing around them after that incident is beyond me, anyone with a brain would've said ""NOPE"", strapped some C4 to the thing and went about their business. Some really questionable and weird plotting in this series which narrowly avoids ruining the whole thing. If this continues I cant see myself sticking around for the entirety of the series.

All and all, a decent reboot, nothing special. Great cast and visuals. If the writing improves I can see myself sticking around, if it doesn't I can see myself losing interest fast.

"It is more suitable for the young generation, it gives you a good feeling in the movie, and Wendy's character is not perfect and strong, and it will probably be stronger for the next season. The color and image are very good, and even the make-up and effects of the imaginary creatures are good. The interesting and strong thing is to make you doubt the character of the giant, of course, if you have seen it in this style, you can quickly recognize it. The sound effects were also used well and the music was acceptable. The story line also moves forward in a good way. There was not a lot of negative characters, but because of the style, it is reversed and she should have a good role, which is less, and here there is a feeling of insecurity for the audience and it is a little confusing.",7
"After watching trailer, to me i understood this trailer, as this movie is same type as Bourne movies, which i very like. In cinema, I was very disappointed as i am not a fan of horror movies, but this movie used horror movie elements and was nothing similar to Bourne. Disappointment to me.",3
"I'm surprised to see the reviews of this show so high. Is it deserving of a high score? No, and let me tell you why. The show's plot gets really bizarre the longer it goes, making sure to have the big crescendo ""who done it"" answered and just about impossible to guess (that's done on purpose). But it's not even the answer to the murder mystery that ends the show. It just keeps on going into further character development past the welcoming stage. Like a guest at your house who has stayed too long. You're just hoping for it to end. The characters on the show try to be really edgy. Like you have your token divorced couple, with dysfunctional kids, and drug abuse, etc. Your typical inner city woke agenda being pushed to the viewer. It tries so hard to do that you can't ignore it. But its the plot that seems so absurd. Like every family is the most screwed up family you've ever heard of, and they all live right next to each other. Remind me not to move into that inner city neighborhood!

But the plot payoff isn't that enthralling. It's just an average TV murder mystery/drama. If you want to see a far better modern murder mystery show, watch True Detective Season 1. Each season of that show has a different cast, but season 1 was quite good. It's probably a good thing that Mare of Easttown was only 1 season long. It couldn't sustain a 2nd season.",6
"And never work again. It's clear the show runner and writers had their own agenda. They attempted to take a novel and video game, they could never come close to achieving and add what they think is current and politically correct. Maybe in a show called ""the Witcher"" that maybe you would have the Witcher in it? The worst part of all this is how long we will have to wait for it to be picked up and redone by a different company. They really thought we would like this trash. Season 2 was bad and somehow season 3 is infinitely worse. Thank god I stopped watching before episode 5 and saved myself from one of the worst episodes in television history.",1
"What can I say, it shines a light on o society issues. But is showing how the world would be like if we did have Super Heros..not everyone would be a Saint or have the morals, let's just be real. However, very entertaining and definitely has a dark side. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am wondering how Season 2 would play out. Definitely worth binge watching and trust that there will be plenty of WTF moments. lol",9
"Possibly the most asinine plot. The twists are twists because they are ridiculous. Entertaining in places, but this just a terrible story that feels fake in every way.",4
"Season 1 was brilliant. A dramatic reflection of what the world can be like for an adolescent. The suicide scene I felt was very harrowing. It was not glorifying suicide, cause there was nothing appealing or glorious about Hannah's death, it was painful and cold, and the discovery of her body was horrifying. So I felt it discouraged suicide. Way better than the badly written book btw!

Season 2 was awful...it turned into this glossy soap drama...they overstretched the previous season, completely weakening the message from season 1. I thought I wouldn't bother with season 3.

But I'm glad I did bother with season 3 cause it redeemed itself from the trashy second season...at times it was a bit like a mental health helpline video...but it was back to meaning something again....especially in relation to Jess and Tyler's storylines. Favourite line was from Alex's dad that summed the series up, it was something along the lines of ""their lives are darker then we realise and we are sorry for what part we play in that"". I liked how they told Bryce's story, that everybody is human, that monsters are made and can be unmade. Sadly, the conclusion I thought was very weak but overall a strong season.

I'm not sure how much further this can go, so don't have high hopes for season 4.",3
"It's an OK movie, but it shot for the stars and hit the footlights. Yeah, Heath Ledger is dead and it's a shame that there is one less drug addict in the world, but, that doesn't mean that this was the best performance ever filmed, with that grating fake-y voice it seemed that he was acting the part, not ever becoming it. I really did like his take on the role however, as it was a fresh take on an old role, but still, he is no Cesar Romero. Having Christian Bale as Batman was an error in casting as well, not that he couldn't look the part, but with that constant effeminate lisp when he talks (and yet, Two Face is missing half his lips and can speak clearly), he made Burt Ward's version of Robin look like vintage John Wayne. Now we know why he chooses to save when he is forced to make a choice. Maggie Gyllenhall is a decent actress, but is no leading lady. To pretend that Batman could find her attractive is really stretch fantasy even in this fantasy based popcorn movie. Even that horrible movie Catwoman had the sense to give us Hallie Berry in Vinyl. I know the movie was supposed to be deep and psychological, and I'm sure research on the motivation of the characters even included reading the dust-jacket to some college Psych 101 class, but it definitely fell short in the compelling and deep sections. The cinematography was really nice for most of the movie but even it could not work magic on the lame fight scenes, or the CGI crap of the Batguy hang gliding between buildings. Hell you were in Hong Kong, couldn't you stop by Jackie Chan's place for a little choreography help? The score to the movie sounded great but was instantly forgettable. Dany Elfman did the Simpson's, why not let him work magic on this cartoon, too? Finally the bat-car sucked! Lets see, put the tires up front, because they'll never get shot out there, even if it does make the Bat mini-van look buck-toothed. That's OK though, if they do shoot out one of the tires, there is a fifty percent chance it won't be the one attached to the bat-moped. At last we find the bat man is the Dark night because he beats his mom, and still maintains a sibling rivalry with his sister. I guess the bat-dude hasn't really evolved at all.",6
"Someone needs to ground Tom Cruise so he can't make any more movies. I came into the movie with no nostalgic false memories about the first movie so I was able to see this in it's true light.

"What makes it a great show? Some could say the acting, some could say the story... I for one, agree, but that's not what makes it great. It's not what makes it one of the best shows to ever grace television. There are tons of shows that have fantastic acting and engrossing stories. Hannibal goes beyond that. This show is grotesque and beautiful all at once. Soothing and unnerving. Civilized and savage. One of the things that makes it amazing is how it delves into the psychology of killers. It's a show about the titular character while being about everything BUT him. It's about Will. It's about Jack. It's about the other killers the show revolves around. The cinematography of this show is nothing short of art. The imagery of the Stag and of Will's ""...this is my design"" flashbacks are things of beauty. I have never seen a show that made bloody, unmerciful murder and death look beautiful, and yet, here it is. Then, there is the cannibal aspect of the show. The fact that Hannibal Lecter is a highly intelligent and sordidly disturbed psychopath, he serves up his kills to Jack and Will in highly imaginative and gastronomic ways. One of the more disturbing scenes was with Able Gideon (played by the ever amazing Eddie Izzard) being served a last meal of... well... I don't want to spoil it. Even then, the dinner looked worthy of a Michelin Star.

This show is intelligent, it is artful, it is unique.

The fact that this show is uncertain of renewal is an insult to the creators, cast, and crew. Watch this show. There really is nothing better on TV.",10
"I would like to start by saying this, I'm a die hard witcher fan, read all the novels, finished the 2, 3 game twice over, own memorabilia etc, I wanted so badly for this show to be awesome. Nonetheless I went into this series with an open mind,.and my unfortunately how it disappointed thus far in the opening season. Let me start off with episode 1 which is a excellent example.of the shows glaring flaws, it takes a alternate and intertwining timeline approach, the way the directors handle this is by basically parkouring from story arcs almost instantly thus having a very drastic and jarring confusing effect on the viewer. If you're going into this only playing the witcher 3 and having nearly no knowledge of the books.god help you to understand what the heck is going on and why. Example, in episode 1 theres a scene of a queen discussing with her husband an impending army invasion, 3 minutes later, this army shows up and their squared off on the battlefield,.battle ends in...2 minutes, thennit jumps to a different story arc, then to the castle where the queen is injured this actually happens in literally every episode. Unlike its direct competitors of The last kingdom.and game of thrones those shows are much much easier to digest and absorb in understanding what's going on. The fight scenes are heralded as epic and even better than game of thrones, Nope, not even close. Acting? Passable at best, it's all very cliche, I so wanted this to work, anyway what's even more jarring is the decision to change characters races, and skin colors. This show claims it follows the novels to a T, yet key characters are switched to dominately black and or African descent. Very very weird, guess the agenda was pushed and forced to a T, 5/10. As a witcher fan through and through and a dark fantasy consumer I have to say this was beyond disappointing. The akward jumpmfrom timelines constantly.kept me pausing and figuring out what timeline I was currently witnessing, the forced and aggressive changing of characters skin colors such as the dryads and the Nilfgardian Vigo family to black was very hard to comprehend why? The dull and quickly ended fight scenes, some actors are plain trash I might add such as triss marigolds performance was yawn inducing, too much forced romance for the sake of romance was corny, what a dissatisfying experience.",5

"So the reviews for this movie are all over the place, can't understand why though. Nice to see Adam in such a role, but the story line is just effing annoying... Normally you would expect there to be ups and downs, but in this movie it all seems to be going downwards constantly, which just leaves you with a very irritated feeling and you have no sympathy for the main character. You don't normally WANT to know that the ""good guys"" win in the end because it can ruin the excitement, but this guys poor choices throughout the entire movie makes you think ""what a ffing idiot"" instead of hoping that things go his way.",3
"Initially I didn't like this well until 5th episode of season 1 and after that it really picked up. Improved season by season.

Next one on the cards.",9
"Dunkirk is the latest film by Christopher Nolan. As usual people are praising his film as a masterpiece. I'm a fan of Nolan so I wanted to love this film like everyone else. However, I have to be honest; this is one of his weaker films, in my opinion. I'm not the biggest fan of war movies, so that doesn't help either. I would put this over The Prestige and The Dark Knight Rises, but every other film he's made I think is better. I would even put Interstellar over this. I'm not the biggest fan of war films, so that doesn't help either. Though, this is certainly not the best war movie I've seen either. The film isn't bad, but it's painfully average.

The plot is very simple. The Germans have pushed the British and the French back to the beaches of Dunkirk. Military vessels and plains are in short supply so civilian boats are mobilized to rescue the stranded troops on the beach. The rest of the film is the soldiers surviving on the beach as the civilian vessels make their way there.

The film does some things well. From a technical aspect Dunkirk is amazing. The film looks great, and the effects are amazing, as one would expect from a Nolan film. It has the typical gray, bleak look to it, like in most Nolan movies, but it fit the tone of the film and gave it a good atmosphere. The music also fit very well.

The action scenes are alright for what they are. This is not action-heavy war movie, but a survival war picture. Do not expect wall-to-wall action in that sense. I also like how the Germans are never seen throughout the flick, but there presence is still heavily felt. The few fight scenes we do get are okay at best. Some of the action gets confusion, and becomes difficult to tell who is fighting who.

The issue with this movie is that it gets dull. This is one of Nolan's shorter films, at two hours, yet you can still feel the length at times. Some scenes feel unnecessary or are dragged out for too long.

The characters are also dull. That's the film's main problem is that all of the characters are boring. The acting is fine, but the characters they are not that interesting; none of them. Cillian Murphy, a great actor, is wasted in this role. It's not that I hated any of the characters, but I wasn't invested in any of them either.

That's a problem, because characters are essential getting invested in a story. If you have good characters the viewers are on that journey with them and feel what they feel. Since I wasn't invested in the characters the film did not hit nearly as hard with me as it should have. The message of Dunkirk is the same as any war film. It wants to convey to the audience how terrible war is. However, there are so many war movies that do this better because they have a better cast that resonates with you.

Overall, Dunkirk is a mixed bag. It's an okay movie that's worth one watch. However, there are better war films, and certainly better Christopher Nolan movies, out there.",7
I actually enjoyed most of the movie even tho it was way tooooo long. But ending ruined it,7
"I really have nothing to say about this movie, which is the ultimate sin. I would rather your movie be laughably bad or really good then it just be forgetful and boring.

Let's start with some good things:................

Now some bad things: The only good things (including James Earl Jones' performance) about the movie are the things from the original Lion King. And even the stuff that gets ripped from the original isn't even as good. In the first one the animation is very expressive and has a lot of emotion especially when it's a dance number or something like that. but even when in the first Lion King when characters are just talking the animation allows the lions to be very expressive. The magic of animation (especially Disney movies) is you can take a picture of a character and you know exactly what they are thinking, if they are happy, sad, angry. And then I heard Disney made the film thirty minutes longer than the original and it was pointless and made the movie more boring. You know lions are one of the least expressive animals on the planet, so when you make The Lion King photo realistic it takes away from the emotion and life from the first one. There's a lot of shot for shots. I guess the actors (with the exception Beyonce) do a good job with what there given but you'll never make a Lion King movie better than the original, that's top tire Disney.

I honestly don't remember anything from this movie. especially that extra half hour it's like it wasn't even their. This movie had no reason to be made, besides the obvious ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$). A little story; My mom and I went to the theater to try and see two movies at the theater in one day, so we just watched Toy Story 4 which was very good, and we had about an hour break and tried to find a restaurant to eat at and of the two we wanted to go to they were both closed. So we found one that was ok. And when we got back to the theater I was like: now I can relax wind down and watch a fun, entertaining, good movie and what I got was a stupid, dumb, corporate mess. In short started off on a high note and ended on a stupid note. As of me typing this review now I gave it a 4/10 but this could easily go down to a 3/10 somehow managing to be worse than Godzilla King of the Monsters. By the way I'm marked as *No Spoilers* because there's nothing to spoil since it's just the same movie.",2
"Firstly, I'm not a gamer so know nothing of the video game this is based on.

Taken as a stand alone TV series, it's watchable and reasonably enjoyable, but no way on earth is it worthy of the 9/10 it currently has on IMDB. I can only assume the people giving it maximum scores are those that play the video game, so have some form of attachment to the title and story.

The performances by the 2 lead characters are what carries this, as the story is one that's been done many times before and in all honesty, been done better.

Some of the ""effects / prosthetics"" of the infected are embarrassing, with some infected seeming to be wearing cycling helmets with some papier-mâché on them.

Whilst there are a few action sequences, it's really quite a slow burn that at times, feels a bit of a chore.

The ultimate measure, is that I'm not desperate to see a second series.

In summary: Slow burn, drags at times, laughable costumes, well known storyline but saved from being awful by 2 excellent leads.",5
"First thing first, dialogue is the WORST!! Other than that, everything about this movie is horrible. Seems like a cheap version of 90's movies; cheesy dialogues and overacting from beginning till the end. The 2 star is for the respect I have for Samuel. Cheers!",2
"Is Jodha Akbar worth a watch...It definitely is.

Its probably the most beautiful movie shot, every single detail is well made, and AG has put a good effort in the movie.

The acting is Superb from Hritik, and Aish and specially ILa Arun.

I don't know if the movie will be a Blockbuster, cause its a very expensive movie, but the lack of no big releases the movie will create a Hype and will be a winner all the way. And it sure deserves it.

The only negative thing is that its too long.

Go watch the movie, you will not regret it. Hritik is the next Superstar.",10
"I had to stop and come back to this twice because i really just couldn't stand it's style of comedy, which is a shame because I like a lot of the more serious moments and the actual feelings behind the story. Unfortunately any genuine moments were ruined so thoroughly by being burried in the tirade if sex jokes, that you almost forget that there were any good bits at all.

The redeeming and best quality this film has is it's cast, Cera is perfect if you want the audience to root for a bad person, Hader is hilarious and Emma Stone is charming despite playing across from Jonah Hill's terrible character. I really only finished it because the cast gave me a false hope that it might get better.

So advice for anyone who wants to watch, if you don't find constant streams of sex jokes funny, don't bother.",5
"This is a flat, horrible movie about some boring people and uninteresting events happened in Hollywood that nobody gives a damn. I don't care about any character or a scene in the movie. Whole movie is bunch of random scenes put together. This movie doesn't need to be made. People watched it only because of the star cast. Overall it's just waste of my time.",4
"I didn't know anything about this series, the books or the previous television adaptations before I watched this Netflix version. When I saw the trailer and the teaser images I had my doubts with Henry Cavill as the main character. Cavill is certainly eye candy, but I didn't think he could pull off a TV series if his looks were degraded with yellow eyes and white hair. I was wrong. The series is brilliant and Cavill is surprisingly watchable because of so many great characters that play off of his gruff character. The character Yennefer absolutely makes this series for me. I love how all these characters have immense power yet are incredibly vulnerable. The story telling is absolutely great. I have watched the series twice to understand how everything fits neatly together in this first season. It doesn't feel its on the huge scale of Game of Thrones, (I'm not sure why), but you wont be disappointed.",7
"OKI don't know if it's the actor or if he is supposed to just have teary eyes all the time but will Robinson literally cries every scene in every episode There's even a part when he is on a tree branch and he is holding on to this thing with DIA life only move in 1"" at a time and I'm thinking to myself what 15 year old boy that's 6' tall Is canned climb a simple tree branch. And still penny and Judy are the most annoying people on this show honestly if the mom and dad we're not getting a divorce or hated each other If they acted like more of a joined family this would be a lot more enjoyable.",4
"I loved this show- I really did, but I also did not appreciate all the liberal micro aggressions . It's too bad that all the new shows and movies that are made these days always have to have left liberals and their loonatic microagressive propaganda. So much is lost with the passive aggressive slips that take away from what could be awesome and wonderful to watch. There were so many things I really enjoyed about this series- but alas, too much was dedicated to the liberals and their demise of wellness. Sad that this is the new truth, but maybe someday it will get old and people can get over their agendas and go back to making good movies and shows.",5
"In short, this is the movie of action RPG in vertual reality and the result of the game leads to the real life.

This movie includes so much of otaku elements (geek elements) and is quite entertaining.

Unfortunately, however, I expected too much and therefore I feel it misses something.

What is something ???

I don't know lol.",6
"After the 2018 remake of ""A Star is Born"", I heard a bazillion different people talk on and on and on about how amazing this film was. However, after seeing it, I realize that none of these folks saw the earlier (and much better) versions of the film...such as ""What Price Hollywood?"" or the 1930s and 50s version of ""A Star is Born"". All three* are vastly superior and I think most of it is because they come off as more a fairy tale--a nice tale about success and failure. In the newest version, however, the story seems more real...and more pathetic and difficult to watch as a result.

Overall, I challenge you to watch an earlier version and then you'll realize that aside from hearing Lady Gaga sing a few nice tunes, there really isn't any improvement on the original story in this remake.

*There also was a version with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson--which I have not seen, so I cannot compare it to the others.",4
"This was a really good movie, not just a really good spy movie. Great acting by Jennifer Lawrence, solid performance by Joel Edgerton and the rest of the supporting cast. Some great twists in this movie as well. It's a gritty movie too, which I feel like is part of the reason it got a lot of hate. I imagine a lot of people would be uncomfortable with the whole seductress spy idea. But it doesn't glorify it at all, it simply presents it in a realistic way. There is really nothing to complain about this movie. It's a good solid movie, hence the 8 stars from me, it just fails to be more than good. Rated it 10 to offset some of the bad reviews.",10
The actin parts are good but it has very low parts. The movie gets boring at parts,6
"I found myself looking at my watch at the 20 minute mark I was so bored.

I felt like I was watching a kids adventure movie like Spy Kids. By all means make a superhero movie that's tongue-in-cheek, poking fun at the genre (see Deadpool for how to do this correctly), but this was a complete farce from beginning to end.

Young Billy and old Billy were nothing alike; the costumes, cgi and some of the sets looked tacky; the story was generic and dull with no real character development, especially with Mark Strong's character; and for a comedy I only laughed 3 or 4 times!

There seemed to be no effort made to make the relationships between the kids believable. I certainly don't understand how Billy suddenly felt this all powerful bond with the other kids at the end.

Overall I came out of the cinema feeling very disappointed.",5
"Sigh, when Marvel first announced that director Shane Black would helm the next Iron Man film, I was genuinely excited. As a huge fan of his previous works; Lethal Weapon, The Long Kiss Goodnight and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (which also stared Robert Downey Jr) I figured how could this fail. I was wrong. Not only did this film fail but they some how made a film about Iron Man boring and mundane. As the first phase 2 film in Marvels line up, Iron Man 3 immediately stumbles out the gate. The film is riddled with plot holes, bad writing, and flat humor. The characters are one dimensional, the villains are dull, and there was no sense of threat or urgency.This is an IRON MAN movie!, there are years worth of interesting stories and scenarios that could of been utilized to tell an engaging story. Instead we are given a poorly executed version of the Extremis storyline. There is a twist towards the 2nd act that your either gonna love or hate. Personally, I consider the plot twist a wasted opportunity. Rent this movie if you need to see it, trust me.",3
"I am a big fan of Ridley Scott. I am a big fan of Matt Damon. ""The Martian"" was always going to be a difficult translation from book to screen. Scott did a good job on the technical side and Damon earned his paycheck but I never really got emotionally involved with his character the way I did in the Bourne movies. There was no ""wow"" factor at any stage in the movie for me. I found it quite watchable but it was not riveting and it felt like ""Apollo 13"" just on a grander special effects scale. Rescue missions don't usually make for exciting entertainment for me even when as in ""Apollo 13"", it was based on a real event and this is just a work of fiction. It would have been better if whilst marooned on Mars Damon had found signs of alien life or something and this had opened up a thought-provoking line to follow. But it was following the book and as a result there are no real scares or shocks in this movie - just a guy and a NASA team overcoming technical problems one by one. As it is I can only give this a 5 and it disappoints me to have to do so because I am a big fan of most science fiction movies.",5
It's an entertainment film .. must watch because of Pankaj Tripathi ...Fantastic Acting boss.,8
Once again the critics get it wrong.If they love a movie it is awful.If they hate it then it is usually great.Awful film good acting.,3
"I love most comic book movies, but it's great to see a different spin on the classic take among the deluge of Marvel/DC films and TV shows.",9
"The science in this show is abominable. The is not even a science we can speak of. They skew and distort facts as they like to create this nonsencial fiction of a show. So if you are looking for a sc-fi show that has solid roots in science, i suggest you to skip this one.",1
"Some absolutely incredible moments in a marathon of awkward overly styled effort...

It felt like there was a shortage of time or budget, leading to a great many mediocre segments added as filler to connect the spectacular moments...",3
"First of all let me say Teresa Palmer and Matthew Goode definitely embody the roles of Diana and Matthew. I was so excited when they made my favorite series (aside from Potter) into a TV series. However, why must they change the story? It is flawless, I understand changing for location and here and there to help us understand the story in the limited time that a TV show allows. But why do you have to change it so much the true fans end up hating it. My husband just laughs at me when I'm yelling ""that is not in the book"" ....seriously though great acting aside from the changes.",7
"I had grave doubts when it was announced that the iconic Hannibal Lecter character would once again be back on screen, albeit the TV screen; it seemed to me that Dino De Laurentiis had flogged this particular horse until it had died a slow death, so desperate he was to squeeze every last drop of cash out of the 'franchise'.

As a fan of the Thomas Harris books however, looking in on the new series was difficult to resist, and I wasn't just pleasantly surprised; I was completely blown away. I hadn't really immersed myself in any of Brian Fuller's work previously (I caught a few episodes of Pushing Diasies, and that was about it), but his vision for Hannibal was truly worthy of the source material.

Visually, it is stunning: the nods to Kubrick have been noted an acknowledged, but even at its most gruesome (and by heck, it can be gruesome), Hannibal manages to retain an almost hypnotic beauty to its visuals; you simply cannot take your eyes off he screen.

And nor should you, because the next thing you notice is how tautly written it is. Scenes of conversation that on the face of it are there to slow the pace down are very tightly scripted; every word uttered seems to bear some relevance later down the line, particularly where it relates to the development of the character of Hannibal and Will. Miss a sentence, and you may well miss something vital.

Season One provided a very strong start to the series, but Season Two has comfortably surpassed the early success. It seems to have it all: clever use of music, thematic depth, excellent acting (the cast is truly outstanding), and of course, strong reference to the source material. Naturally, the series does not follow the canon established by the novels due to the ownership rights relating to some major characters, but the series is none the weaker for it; indeed, it lends the show an element of unpredictability that keeps you on the edge of your seat, even if you are familiar with the books.

Its been a long time since I've seen a TV series that has people talking about it for days after each episode, but this certainly is one of them. Bravo to all involved, and may the standard set so far continue.",10
"Having watched the first Knives Out I expected a quick plot and one that would blow my mind (more or less) with some unpredictable twist. Well, that was not the case. I found the movie quite boring at times. In fact I was bored just when it was supposed to be the most fascinating, with all the big revelations going on. The solution to the mystery felt like the most predictable one. Like, the entire movie I was thinking that there's no chance this is the case, cause it's way too obvious and the creators of the first movie wouldn't possibly do sth like that. Given the additional cringe that Daniel Craig's accent added to the whole thing, I wasn't nearly as thrilled as I expected.",6
"As for the 'critical praise' goes, I understand Nolan tried to capture here a macro point of view of the historic event/evacuation story of Dunkirk but it turned out another disappointment (after Interstellar)! Thing is most of the epic & classic war movies comes with an individual or a set of characters, backed up by a rich screenplay that eventually made us started to care for them while we witnessed the horror of war to gradually unfold with a graceful touch of heart or humanity at some point in the story. In Nolan's Dunkirk, the single character development was minor issue with mere importance, as I guess he was more interested to depict the event as a ""character"" itself that's facing a struggle to survive in one of the most awfully cornered situations in the history of world wars for an allied force. Most of the ""major characters"" were either desperately trying to escape or determined to follow the course of their duties without much portraying emotional aspects of their convictions. Frustrating part is, after all these years it was a great opportunity (missed!) for a film maker like Nolan to really make a remarkably true epic war movie based on such an intriguing war event like Dunkirk...started from the point of Nazi war plan to skillfully corner the Brit & French allied force and their historic rescues at the end! I understand that not every war movie needs to be character driven with great cast like PATTON, BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI, SAVING PRIVATE RYAN or SCHINDLER'S LIST and there was even war film made in such approach where they remarkably portrayed an horrifying event of war without much focusing a set of characters i.e. COME AND SEE (one of the best war movies ever made, IMO) but Dunkirk sadly failed to left any sort of moving impression on me as a viewer.

Though the presence was there but directly (with characters) there wasn't much portrayal of German enemy side in Dunkirk. The irony is actually the 'real enemy' were flat & one dimensional characters and the only real winner in this movie was cinematography, stunning!",6
"The show is good, but nothing spectacular. I was hopeful that it would be a bit more thrilling, like the movies. Colson is by far the primary thing that keeps the show going. His personality is one that draws you into his character. You tend to want him to succeed because he seems to actually care.

My one complaint is one of a personal nature. I feel like almost every week there is some stab at faith in God. Nothing diabolical but subtle jabs at those who believe. One example is a girl who believes in God and the statement is made that ""People believe what they need to believe."" Another is asked if she believes in God and her response is not really. I get it, I am fine with the fact that many do not believe in God. Many of those object to God being brought into things, unless of course it is dismissive. Like I said, a personal issue.",6
"Good story, great direction, some good acting of the characters, Raj Kumar Rao & Pankaj Tripathi outshines. Good to see Abhishek Bachchan again. Some scenes will make you remember barfi. Music by pritam, some scenes just melt you with Arijit's voice in the back. Good to go",8
"After watching season 4 I changed my rating from 8 to 4. Winona Ryder's acting is so bad that we fast forwarded almost every time she started talking. She is forcing herself to look pained or angry ALL the time. It's just too much.

Also way too much banter filling every episode. We fast forwarded most of the show to watch the actual story. I'm not sure we will watch season 5.

The writers must be getting paid by the word so they just wrote crap for the actors to say to make the episodes longer. The whole season 4 could have been done in less than 3 hours instead of 9 loooong episodes.

The show was great in season 1 and it has gotten progressively worse each season. Netflix should just cancel season 5 and save the cash for anything other show.",4
"Saw the film today at 11 30 show with friends . The film could have been better but it's still so f**king good . Easily a 3.75/5 for me . Contrary to popular belief , I liked the 2nd half better . The film itself will evoke extreme reactions from everyone . The film acts on meta level too and it teaches to have your own identity instead of trying to become someone else . The ending will be controversial which might put some people off , though it was the right thing to show . I liked the superstar's part more than the fan's . In fact it might be possible that you will be rooting for the superstar at the end instead of the fan because when you see the film , you realise that Aryan Khanna actually didn't do anything wrong . He really wasn't at fault !

Whatever you think of the movie though , one thing no one can deny is that SRK absolutely bloody nails the acting part . Nobody will/can question his performance in this film . It's the finest performance yet this year and one of his all time best .

SRK as Gaurav - 4/5 (He goes a little overboard during the climax and some minor parts) SRK as Aryan Khanna - 10000/5 (He absolutely nails this one . Such a nuanced performance . I , along with many others were cheering for the superstar at the end ).

FAN on a whole is a different , unique , engaging and interesting take on the fanatics and the psychology of fans .",10
"I bought it on Amazon. One of the worst movies I've ever seen. Gosling and Robbie give a good performance, period. But the theme of the movie, and everything that surrounds it, is... what is this?. It shamelessly takes ideas from other films, as a comedy it's not funny at all. I have been watching movies for so many years and I have seen everything, but in recent years the movies are becoming more and more disappointing. I was very happy that the movie attracted people to the cinema, I also went to see Oppenhaimer and it was wonderful but really, this movie is completely forgettable. I have never given a movie 1 star, but this one deserves it, it has nothing that can be redeemed, I respect of course for those who liked it, but this is what it seemed to me.",1
"Even though the TV adaptation is really good and follows the outline of the first game plus the expansion (Left Behind), it's still inferior to the game in terms of depth and character development. They should have gone for 10 or 12 episodes and have developed some parts of story a bit further. The last three or four episodes of the show feel pretty much rushed. But it's a pretty good show no matter what.

But now that season one (Part I) has ended we are faced with the big question mark regarding the second season that should follow Part II of the game and definitely won't be everyone's cup of tea or something easy to adapt for a broader audience. Fingers crossed.",7
"Movie will definitely go in as Indian classic. Emotions and fun are abundant in this movie. Movie will keep you engaged throughout with beautiful human connection with animal, cinematography par excellence, great background music, songs and original content. Travelog component is icing on cake. Subtitle quality is very good. Producer should have dubbed in English, Spanish and French for international audience.",10
"Cool animation style and an overall fun watch. I'm glad to see Marvel doing something a little more mature, even though it's an animated show about a monkey hitman. Don't expect the stars and you want be dissapointed.",9
"The first half of the violent epic is as brutal and frenetic as it is engrossing and entertaining. The second half is justa s energetic and well directed, yet darker and more violent, sometimes to a disturbing level. Overall, Gangs of Wasseypur is a 5 hour epic that's never boring. Beautifully shot and directed, fantastically edited and one of the best gangster movies I've seen.",10
"Excellent actors. Excellent music. Excellent atmosphere. But I like a movie that tells a story and there was no story. There was only a memory of past times. I have to write 5 lines of text before my review will be seen online. Therefore I write some words, because I have nothing more to say. My excuses for this.",7
"A well balanced movie in terms of once emotions. It's all hanky-panky and laughter till a point and then though it's got tragic times way ahead the story still has its moments of smiles. I loved the authenticity given to languages - when Dharma meets a Tamilian, the Tamilian speaks in Tamil itself with 'koncham' Kannada. It keeps the character true towards reality.

As this film is really wonderful I'll be strict on it's shortcomings or the cons as they say. The biggest irritating thing in this film is Raj Shetty. His overacting, over the top Mangalorean dialect (Tuluvas in daily life don't talk like that, definitely not in cities) & pronunciations, body language and facial expressions are all the same in every film. He has never changed his character since OMK. His every scene in this film has been very irritating. He is also not in his character. His dialect changes when it's a serious scene later on. Sangeetha Sringeri's acting is slightly bland or should I say I don't know if she is being sarcastic every time she talks. Rakshith is quite OK though there are more glimpses of his characters from the past in terms of body language, yet he is digestible. The neighbours' characteristics are very conveniently written for the story's progress or for Dharma's character. They don't have any contribution to the major part of the film. The dog is simply brilliant.

The film doesn't let us know the route Dharma takes to reach wherever he wants to nor do we know where his destination is. It would have been great to know his map, his route, his destination without which the journey is all over the place.

There is a word used in one scene - 'andha' meaning blind. I have no clue why the hindi word was used while the characters were within Karnataka in that scene. It doesn't come in any characteristic of any character. They could have simply used the word 'kuruda'. It's a silly thing but it made me wide eyed for a moment.

For all these reasons I removed one star but this is a true pan India film and it deserves to be shared with everyone. I have no dogs and never have I ever had one but films with dogs' journeys are simply wonderful! Watch this film at all cost.",9
"Now, you have to hear me out on this one. The movie was good, I get that, but what was bad about this movie is that it is just a set up for infinity war. yes there were some very good intense battle scenes and it was very exciting to see my favorite heroes battle it out, but there were weak moments that lacked my attention. and then the ending felt kinda empty. No one died, no problem was really resolved, it was just a set up for Infinity war. but, I would watch it again, because it was a good movie and did contain good dramatic elements that I enjoyed, and I look forward to seeing how this plays in Infinity war.",8
Just another black humor Korean movie. There are much better Korean Movie's. Don't waste your time on this one.,3
"Some reviewers refer to 'Action', 'Thrill', 'Emotion'...They probably are too young to know the real facts. History and truth matter. Canada hid these U. S. Embassy workers, made them passports, bought them airline tickets, took them to the airport. But as a typical American movie, truth doesn't matter. What does is the effect, the impact on the viewer. So sad and infuriating at the same time.

So when a U. S. movie starts by stating 'Based on a true story' (or something like it), I'm already on the defensive. I'll try to guess what are lies and wonder why it needs to be that way...",3
"Unless you're a die hard marvel fan that will literally watch every marvel stuff, the only reasons i can think of to watch Moon Knight is it's 'looks' great and Oscar Isaac. Great acting, his British accent isn't cringe and he looks mighty fine. As any marvel films/series, it's very visually driven, the rest, nothing much. The Series is okay so far, watchable but nothing extraordinary.",7
"An amazing tale of rural India's Panchayat system, the series explores a Panchayat executive - SachivJi played beautifully by Jitender as he tries to settle in a remote village.

The character explorations and emotional range displayed by the actors here, be it the main or the supportive cast are phenomenal. Beautiful direction and depiction of life in an Indian village, the politics of the Panchayat and how it entangles the lives of the villagers is awe inspiring. The commentary on the common Indian household, both rural and urban is great.

You will grow to love Phulera gaon, even with all its flaws and politics.

Definitely a must watch, Hats off TVF.",8
"This is ofcourse a one time watch. The previous season was on much comedy drama side. This season has a great add on as Geetanjali Mam playing one of the major role. Life, confusion, pandemic all makes you stick to the content. And yes KC bhai OP!",7
"It's never good when the titular character of a film is one that is dislikable and annoying, but that is the case here. Barbie is a very one dimensional character here and is really grating. The other characters also lack any character depth at all.

The acting is fairly poor, there is a complete waste of talent here as there are some good actors involved. It feels completely over-acted and no one seems to try very hard.

The script is atrocious. The story is thin as can be. All the dialogue is boring, not funny and cliche. It's a drama, not a comedy, and a poor one at that! It doesn't know what it wants to be and certainly doesn't know how to get there.

The choreography is alright and the set design, outfits and colours are nice to look at, but that's the best thing about this film.

One of the most overrated movies of the millennium.",2
"I was very surprised by how good this movie was. It wasn't predictable, it didn't have typical jump scares, and it didn't follow the basic horror movie plot line like most movies do these days. While it was a tad bit confusing story-wise, the acting was great! Mia did an amazing job! Australia has got some talent! So glad they were able to bring this film to the US and showcase their hard work. I watch a lot of Horror /Triller movies and rarely do things take my breath away, but my goodness there were scenes that made ME, ME!!!! Cover my eyes! And I never do that! So a round of applause for this cast and crew!",9
It just blew my mind to see everything coming together. The performances are just brilliant and Elizabeth Olsen has given a performance of her lifetime and it shows. Lot of reveals and easter eggs. Keep 'em coming.,9
"Binged the second season in one day.

This g.d. robot made me cry. AGAIN.",9
"This film had all the goods - great actors, a big budget, an incredible true story, aesthetics of stunning era of style, a great script...And yet...I was bored and distracted by the half-way mark. I wanted to fast forward to the end.

The message is beautiful and important but by the end I was just relieved that the film was over to remember it.

I so wanted to love it, and I should've, but it was too long, slow, drawn out, almost self indulgent. It might be a slightly complicated plot but please give the audience more credit and get there quicker without the surplus quirks. Too try-hard to connect with, in my opinion.

I'm just glad I waited for it to be free on Disney.",5
"This movie could of worked if the director had introduced some fresh new actors. Why stain our memories of the good old mobster classics. These actors have done theirs time and in this movie, ended up a little dead beat. A well made but long and uninteresting movie.",2
"Fun movie, great action, great special effects, great cast led by Ryan Reynolds. Never be nominated for anything but great it is definitely fun. You get to see the world with lots of breaking glass and a body count into the thousands just what a mindless action pic is meant to be.",7
"This movie is different for Shahrukh Khan because of many non-commercial elements in the plot. The Acting of Shahrukh khan is one of his bests of all time. Ashutosh Gowarikar executed the direction and screenplay with a good blend of songs and emotions. AR Rahman cannot be compared to any of the present generation music directors and I would give him a bow for his music and background score in this movie. He asserted that he is a legend of Indian cinema music. Gayathri Joshi showed natural expressions and really simple&beautiful in this movie. Some great scenes like kid selling water cups, haridas who is mocked by the society on regard of his caste, old woman expressing grief for no one caring about them in the ashram etc are overwhelming. Over all it's purely Indian and fresh movie.",9
"This is probably the tenth time I'm watching this film until I finally decided to describe my thoughts on it, this franchise was one of the main ones who shaped my childhood the most, when i was young I definitely remembered it mostly for the epic fight scenes, which there are plentiful of and are top notch and contain loads of fun. But watching it as an adult is an entirely different experience,the message about embracing your past and accepting it is heartwarming and fantastic, and is delivered exponentially that I got shivers through my whole body, I love that they expanded on the emotional field so much without taking a fraction of what this movie is for children, and the darker and gloomier theme definitely suits it.

The movie also does everyrhing a sequel needs, it shows character development, didn't revolutionize to much and expanded on the plot and the universe of the film.

In particular po's and tigress's relationship is genuinely beautiful throughout the franchise, the combination of a warm and joyful panda combined with Tigress's composure and warrior personality genuinely provide wonderful moments together when they begin embracing the other's emotional compartments. And their relationship is a blessing to the franchise. Also the music is top notch like you would expect from 2 top notch composers.

This franchise(and in particular this movie) has a very special place within my heart and I will love it forever, I feel so lucky to be born at the same time as the golden age of cinema.

10/10 will forever remain as one of the greatest sequels to any movie.",10
"To much comedy and the movie was to short, we wanted to see more action between venom and Carnage.

The visuals were incredible.",7
Season 1 was awesome Season 2 was quite good not bad Season 3 is avarage.,9
"The robot is cool. The mystery of what happened to the mothership is cool. A couple characters are interesting. Then, there's the Robinsons and Dr Smith. By the 5th episode I was cheering for their demise. Not worth saving. Especially, the mom and Dr Smith.",3

The movie was good but it was just too short and the first one was definitely better the best about was the post credit scene i was almost crying when i saw it.,7
"The beginning of the movie isn't bad but after about 45 minutes the movie starts to bore: it lacs a continuing and understandable storyline; similar scenes are repeated too many times and the ""music"" in some scenes starts to irritate. The conversations between the well known actors are reduced to a minimum. The director missed the opportunity to add historical information, maps, a good timeline, a view from the German perspective, it all would have added to the quality of the movie. To us Dunkirk is a missed chance: the operation succeeded, the movie is a disaster.",2
"I enjoyed the original Shaft movie. It established a strong, outspoken character and carried that character through subsequent movies into the early 70's.

Samuel Jackson's reprise of the character in 2000 paid homage to the original and did a good job of transporting the character into present day.

This film is a poor sequel to the 2000 film. Shaft's son is now grown and is the punchline to almost every (poorly written and acted) joke. In real life he would die the moment he walked into a rough neighborhood. Jackson is older and despite attempts to hide it (turtlenecks?), shows every bit of his 69 years. Driving an old muscle car is cliched and the banter between him and his son is forced and seldom funny.

This movie is a cheap attempt to cash in on the sequel machine that Hollywood is milking as they lack original ideas and movies.

Very poor movie. Give it a pass and watch something else.",2
"The whole decade of the '80s was excessive, cheesy, and over the top. Most of the reviews I see on here are either young or forgetful. The same people that love Scarface (which is a terrible movie). Let's be honest it's got the same feel and bad acting as a sex ed video in health class. I can name many many more. It wasn't perfect but it was fun. And fun is the reason you watch. Be pretentious on how underground music is better. While I'm here remember the Cold War? Russia was the direct threat. I can name 50 movies in the 80's that address that circumstance.",8
"This show has the recipe for greatness but for me has not yet delivered. Casting is perfect, cinematography is excellent, the script is solid. Where does it let down? The screenplay my friends. To put it lightly the scenes are manic and leave me looking for Adderall just to keep up. One thing that can ruin even the greatest production is plot holes. This show is chalk full of them. Granted we are two episodes in but I'm already lost. Even worse I find myself not really caring anyway. The ""Steve"" version of Oscar's character I find infuriatingly annoying. Like cringe worthy on every level. I guess what exacerbated these problems for me was parallel watching this show with HBO's Tokyo Vice. That show is incredible and has none of the aforementioned shortcomings. The flow of events makes sense and leaves you begging to see more. Moon Knight leans towards a hot mess but with production quality that is so high it visually attracts you to the next thing but with your mind only. Your heart is telling you it's lacking that special something. Seven stars is being generous and speaks of a fan of these comics whose been let down.",7
Sorry but this is boring as hell. It has to honor shows like I love Lucy and Bewitched with a bit of Pleasentville. Sadly it is more of an insult instead of a honor thing. Also funny to see that most 8+ star ratings came even before the release date.,1
"The visuals and sound were good. The plot was paper-thin however - very linear, with only one semi-compelling character.",5
"OK it is a 6ish Movie. But Look at the ratings. The rating totally misleads the audiences and I don't think a good movie maker should do that. If you want to make a 9-star movie. Make it not fake it.

The movie has the unbelievable boring start and this lasts for 2/3 of the movie. The whole movie hardly has any story so don't expect any amazing story or something, there is none. Just couple fall in love had one fight and separates. The movie deserves a 6 because it is really good at sharing the lovers' feelings. But one good thing doesn't make it a 9 star for sure.

Please do not cheat the audiences.",1
"Or exchanging them for that matter, if that is another thing you may like to say for a movie that is really brutal. Too brutal for some, I have to admit it is borderline on occasion, especially when you have an issue seeing women being abused (and that is actually something the movie riffs on of course - and again, remember this is fiction).

Still the torture (no pun intended) some may feel is necessary at points. Did it have to be as graphic as it is at times? That's a tough one to answer. Just bare in mind, what the movie tries to achieve and that it does not tip toe around the depiction of violence. If you can handle that, the movie has a story to back that up and make it worth your while (unless you also don't like all the Russia bashing - try to blend that one out, someone has to be the bad guy, don't read anything into it)",8
"Russian Doll is Netflix's best in 2019 so far. The show is a perfect mix of comedy, existentialism, eeriness, with some great music (Harry Nilsson's ""Gotta Get Up"" will get stuck in your head). The eight-episode series is layered like a traditional Russian Doll with each layer being taken apart as the story unfolds in multiple timelines.",9
"Right from the very beginning some of the most fun parts to watch you do not see the action in the frame especially when he is in prison ,and takes on those inmates that is the worst action editing i have ever seen on film.Other then the bad camera work on the action it is a over all enjoyable film but like i said the camera work hampered it greatly went from a 8 rating to a 6. really enjoy Bale as batman he got the height and the body he got the seriousness the role needed this is just dark and gritty the way a batman movie should be. Hopefully the next installment will bring justice to the camera work. If not it is time to petition for a better director.",6
"The sequel dials up the camp and tries to hide its PG13-ass by keeping Carnage's destruction as frantic and incomprehensible as possible. At no point does Cletus feel threatening, as Woody Harrerlson parades around with wide eyes and ridiculous wigs, expounding nonsensical poetry that belies clues to his meaningless actions.

The pacing of the film makes little sense as the movie hurtles to its messy conclusion at a break-neck speed that allows little room for any sort of character development. Michelle Williams must be getting a huge check for this as she has absolutely nothing to do. The movie is devoid of plot and character development.

Having said all of that, Tom Hardy shines as usual and as forgettable as the film is, it does have its moments. This film is simply more of the same, if you enjoyed the first film you'll probably enjoy this one.",5
"Barbie is an amazing film that mixes comedy and emotional moments skilfully. All the performances are perfect, except for Ryan Gosling who was exceptional at playing himself. I will cry if it doesn't win an Oscar, if not for I'm Just Ken it should be for the phenomenal set design. The costume department really worked their socks off as every character feels unique in its style yet cohesive. The writing was very well thought out and barely gives you a second to catch your breath. Now the star of the show Margot Robbie. I could have wrote a whole review just on her performance. Although we all know her as a very talented actress, she was definitely built for this role. Michael Cera made a great comeback with this role, and was mine and many others favourite part of the film. Also shoutout to Rob Brydon as Sugardaddy Ken!",9
"For people who know their history (of which many ""girl power"" reviewers here don't or won't fact check), there were plenty of women in the past who weren't misandrists who happily did their own thing. Look for a headline ""Women voted 75 years before they were legally allowed to"" (which is a lie itself because most men couldn't vote when these women could ... back in 1843). Some women ran a chain of butcheries, hotels, cleaning businesses, etc. See the actual records for yourself (that is, for anyone who isn't a misandrist).

So why revise history, when I can measurably demonstrate these ""girl power"" types can't even do the most basic of fact checking? Is it lasiness, or just another lonely ""girl power"" activist?

If you love victimhood and want to re-write history, this is your film. Brown's performance is the usual woke ""i'm perfect, except i'm oppressed"".

If you're not into victimhood, you're better off watching Anne of Greengables or Pippi Longstocking ... historical stories about some great women (rest assured, if you're one of these ""girl power"" types, you'll have NO IDEA about these girls because ... it doesn't match their permitted reading).

Victimhood in 2020 is such a huge market. You either love it or you don't. My score of 3/10 (which is generous) reflects significant historical reality distortions and victimhood plus a Mary Sue. What more could a woke audience want?",3
I didn't want to make a review but still i am doing it because i want to explain that there were some part that i really liked.Still thos is not ehat a came for i this movie i was hoping for a blast of emotions in this drama-horror kind of movie.I still stick to the idea of the whole Birdbox thing but it need to be remastered.,3
"I wasn't sure if I was to like this as I tend to duck the hyped titles from Hollowwood.

Well the first act of three parts was perky enough to keep me in the evolvement of the story, then the second act dropped the ball with a less than gripping conflict build up as jazz ambition is swapped for easier cash. To me this was the least musical part as it circled this uninteresting part in an attempt to have real conflict of interest. Act three was a 15 minute montage that made a reprise of the developed story and the eternal question of what could have become if we down our path had the chance to choose over, go into other direction and have a life that could have been the fulfilment we ought to have had. I thought this part was genuinely moving.

But musicals are to be full of music, yes ? No ? I was hoping a little for something closer to heart as I was swept by A Chorus Line and All That Jazz. This was nostalgic and a little to bland.",6
"Love Ryan Reynolds, but he must have drunk way to much Gin before agreeing to this pile of ****. As a typical Michael Bay movie, There is over the top destruction, and since it starts of with this mindle4ss action before there is any story it becomes irrelevant, and before the opening action sequence was over everybody was on their phones checking social media, or playing games.. Was there really any story in this film, or just a flimsy excuse to move from one pointless actionscene to another? The action and dialogue by the characters was bad and often made no sense at all. The worst part of this movie must be the In-your-face-commercials. We know product placement are in every movie, but did they really have to zoom in on the brandnames? Was I just watching a 2 hour commercial break or a movie? There was no chance you are going to miss the hotel or gin brands... I wish I could erase this movie from existence and would rather have Green Lantern inserted to and playing constantly in my brain than think of this movie again.",1
The Robot is the only likeable character and the boy is tolerable. The rest of the cast shouldn't be allowed to act beyond late night commercials. Parker Posey is the same character she's ever played before with the same affectations for every emotion; a female Andrew McCarthey. So very awful and disappointing. Whomever at Netflix let this go through should be drawn and quartered.,2
"TL;DR don't waste your time.

I seriously don't understand how did this show get such a high rating (8.5 currently). I literally opened an account here just to normalize the rating a bit.

Vast amount of long scenes in which absolutely nothing happens. Long conversations of little or no importance to the story: ""Your grace. May I have a word? Lord Commander, please. My queen, how is your grandsire. Fine, how are you?"" etc. Characters who are almost instantly forgettable. Main characters with unclear motives...

It's as if someone wanted to tell you a story which spans over 10 decades, but emphasized only the least important aspects. In the end you're stuck listening to the person for 10 hours, learning nothing, expecting ""something"" to happen, only for the person to tell you: ""You know what. Now that I actually came to somewhat of an interesting point, I'm just gonna wrap it up here and leave you hanging for some time"". That's how I felt after the last episode - left alone after having 10 hours of my life literally wasted.

I gave it 3/10 just for the first 3 episodes - those were actually interesting. The rest was a serious waste of time.",3
"I usually don't write reviews but seeing the hype going around this movie and finding nothing in the movie to make me feel it is worth all the praise, I decided to give my 2 cents on this movie. Superhero movies now-a-days are the thing to be in. Everybody loves them, and they earn well. That said I think they are becoming increasingly predictive and mind-numbing boring. I know mine is not the popular opinion out there but this movie enters my long list of over hyped superhero movies.

Wonder Woman starts of with us being introduced to the world of Amazons and their home Themyscira. I have to say I was pretty thrilled till the first half hour. But that is when the movie starts to go down. The story moves at a snail's pace with some humor in the form of Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) and his secretary. Diana's introduction to the human world makes up for some funny moments which after a point seem forced. Although I do give credit to Patty Jenkins for capturing the naivety of Diana perfectly. The second act sees Diana and Steve going to the front which seems to take forever. In between they pick up three mercenaries who apart from providing some comedic relief don't do much. The third act gives us some much awaited action sequences which I must say have been very well done. Although, the final showdown, just like the previous DC movies comes as a letdown considering the preceding action sequences. Also, the ending king of ruined the effect of the movie for me (you have to see it to know).

In all, Wonder Woman delivers on a lot of fronts. Action sequences have been well choreographed, acting was decent (except some cringe-worthy moments from Gal Gadot), and the comedic tone was also there. But the long running time makes the movie boring and thinking back I can surely say that some scenes shouldn't have been there. The movie does provide some powerful moments towards the end, but by then you are wondering if this was worth all that came before. Also, the ending... aaaarghhhhh.

I guess too many superhero movies have done what Wonder Woman tried to do, thus nothing really stands out. Except, obviously the fact that this is the first female superhero feature film.",4
"Its a drama thriller from true life, the Apharteid era of south africa , anc and white political supporters, going to prison for equal rights. while there they are fed up with the prison system and tries to make a way to escape. how and when its done i shall not spoil.

but if your in for a session of silver screen watching, accompanied with a lot of stretching, hyperventilating, stress and a whole lot of sweat then you are in for it in this flick. the acting are good, the filmographic efforts combined with excellent light and sound work, together with a serious set of score make it all even better.

well i think the makers portrays the prisoners environment a bit smoother and humane than it was in the true life, and i think the introduction to the main cast is a bit slow and weak. so its not a perfect film, even though the grumpy old man had a good time.a recommend",7
"S1 was very good! S2 Okay. S3, they introduced a character that should never have even come into the show and made it hard to keep vested in what this show was to be about. S4, Unbearable to watch. = Sad / Unreal / Way too far-fetched. It lost it's purpose and became a joke. I felt bad for the actors to have to be part of this show. I just could not finish it.",5
"I knew I wouldn't like this film ... just knew it. I was swayed by a lot of reports saying that it was waaaaay better than the first - which was stinky pants wee - so I let my guard down. This was double stinky pants wee and fell short of the low bar I'd set for it.

A lot of smashy crashy CGI monsters and not one laugh that I could find. Venom's 'voice' is awful and the story was a mess.

1h 37m that I'd dearly love to have back.",2
"Excellent film by Farah Khan. Shahrukh, Sushmitha, Amritha and Zayed acts so well in this film. But there are lots of camera tricks when action begins. I have seen this movie for 3 times and could recommend it to anyone as it is quite nice. All the songs especially Chale jaise and Kiska Hai yeh are great. The dances are also great. The story which is selected was quite admirable. You can get lots of advice from this film. Romance, Brother love is shown and friendship in college is shown in this movie. Everyone acted so well and could watch this over and over, Sanjana, Chandni teacher, Major Ram and Lakshman makes a family together. Can award 9 stars out of 10",9
"I rated 5 as my average total rating of the four seasons. Season 4 is a waste of time. Why is the ""Go To"" storyline when one character kills another, they keep imagining seeing that character and it haunts them. It was overkill in this season. That is one of many problems with this season. One character I CRINGED every time she came on screen (in every season) that I could have done without and I hoped she would have been killed off the series or something is Jessica. I thought it was just me until I brought up the series with different sets of friends and family members. No one likes her. I don't know if it was the character itself or her style of acting but she was extremely unlikable.",5

Donot miss out on this movie..... Script is so well written that though it appears as though Manoj Bajpai carries the movie on his shoulders but it isn't so ..... The 3 performances that stand out are Manoj Bajpai, absolutely hilarious as wel",10
"I tried very hard to enjoy this movie because I like all the actors involved, especially Stiller. After watching it I realized that was the way Hollywood had planned to profit off this movie: Good, well known cast.

The story is silly and worthless. The big budget war movie that the actors are portrayed to be making in the beginning of the film (a very silly, ridiculous, audience insulting, over-budgeted war film) is actually what THIS film turned out to be! I actually felt insulted watching this picture because it was just so bad and stupid and NOT funny.

There were a FEW really funny lines and a FEW really funny 10 second scenes throughout the entire film, that's IT. Though these few good lines/scenes were NOWHERE near enough to save this train wreck.

NONE of the actors seemed in tune with their characters at all. I don't think this has to do with the actors as much as it has to do with the terrible storyline. It must have just been hard to portray the characters in the picture well because the storyline was so unclear/unfunny/unconvincing/unmoving. I'm actually amazed Stiller was behind the writing and directing, as his quality of work is usually much better.

One good thing with this film is that it was shot well. The cinematography was decent and the film had nice color and contrast, and would've looked really well as a real war flick.

2 out of 10 for me. I'm blown away by the 7.5 rating! I think us American audiences are getting more and more numbed by the minute! Hopefully pictures take a far step away from this direction.",2
"While it is quite distinct from the ""normal"" bollywood stuff, I still found it rather naive all through .....

yes it will appeal to some (particularly the last generation of women ) but not to the present highly educated set.

Some situations almost had me cringing ! In trying to appear "" simple"" and "" realistic"" the acting seems to have gone overboard.

Music and locations are good. The "" bhenji"" look will certainly appeal to those with, and working towards ""improving"" . But many, many in Indian metros have already moved on and are much, much smarter than what is depicted here. Of course, such a look will also appeal to ( most ) Indian males.They still have some more miles to go before ""liberation "" !

But for me there were no take aways - which is what I like from a movie. Else for me it is merely timepass....",5
"This movie was very original, which is why I thought it was OK. I didn't think the concept was anything that great though. It's basically a romance. But instead of showing the two meeting and falling for each other in the conventional way, it's all shown in memories as they are being erased. In the film, there is technology that can erase memories. Joel learns his ex-girlfriend, Clemetine, had him erased, so he goes to have the same procedure done to him. But, during the procedure, part of him doesn't want to lose all the memories. So, most of the latter part of the film shows things that Joel and Clementine did together. And once Joel realizes he doesn't want her erased he begins dragging Clementine throughout his memories and trying to hide her. It's rather weird, but the way it's shown makes sense.

The side plot involves the employees from the memory erasing place. Mary finds out something about her and the doctor and it changes the way she feels about the procedure. And somehow Joel and Clementine meet again after their memories were erased and start hanging out together. Then each gets an interesting piece of mail that leads to the conclusion.

I'm not sure why Kate Winslet received so many acting nominations. I didn't think any of the actors did anything exceptional.

FINAL VERDICT: I give it props for originality, but it's not a great story. But, I do recommend it if you want to see something new.",5
"Hilarious and smart teen comedy, without a doubt one of the funniest of the year. Michael Cera and Jonah Hill play two high school seniors who are best friends. When invited to a cool chick's party, they try to get their über-geeky friend, played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse, to use his fake ID (on which he is now infamously renamed ""McLovin"") to get them some alcohol. From there, everything goes awry. It's really a laugh-a-minute movie. The previews and commercials ruined a few of the best jokes, but there is no shortage of laughs anywhere in the movie. It also manages to be fairly touching, without devolving into schmaltz (a problem that the film's producer Judd Apatow has yet to solve in his own films). The awkward dialogue is wonderfully convincing, and completely recalled high school for me. Very enjoyable, and one that I hope to enjoy very often in the future.",9
"I like remakes generally speaking, most of the time they add a nice twist and a little different feel...But this had beautiful CGI mixed with attitude, that made me and my family uncomfortable. Not exactly the emotion that a Disney movie is supposed to evoke. On top of that, there are actual racial undertones and references (the kids won't notice thankfully). Who the heck is running Disney these days? Do yourself and your family a favor and watch the original 90's production of The Lion King it is so much better.",3
"The movie poster was already explicit, but still, I gave it a chance because of the ratings.

The guy who wrote this movie is ""the best acid trip experience"" obviously never took LSD in his life!

It is just a mix a recent succesful productions like Stranger Things and some Marvel movies, spiced with Kung-Fu and woke culture.

Maybe the targeted audience was 12-16... Not sure.",3
Most mcu films focus too much on corny jokes and often have rather rushed plots with very forgettable villains. It's hey I was so surprised with this movie. The plot was fast paced and the action was highly entertaining. For once marvel has made a villain right. Winter soldier is amazing (but still not comparable to red hood to those who think that) but they did a great job making this.,8

"This show is a breath of fresh air and I laugh out loud every episode. I never review shows, but I'm reviewing this because I want people to watch it. It's so funny and engaging. Thank you Hulu!!",10
"Kinda like a Jewish version of Kenneth Branagh's Belfast, that was bad movie in my opinion and this one's worse.

The acting is very very flat and comes across as an episode of ""Days of our Lives"" in its texture and script. I had a twitching hard time just keeping my finger off the exit button as the story inched along.

In fact it took a great effort to get through the first few minutes of the opening scenes.

I persevered, but to no avail as the plodding pace made each minute seem like an hour.

It just goes to show you that even the most successful directors can get lost when they make movies about their own life stories.

There's no one with the balls to tell them that they're turning out dryer lint and so the project gets completed and is released with the fanfare that a famous director expects.

That this movie even made the cut for any Oscar awards is beyond me, you can only attribute it to the media's fawning for Mr. Spielberg.

To be fair, he has made some brilliant movies but this isn't one of them.",1
"Really can't say much more about it.

No real characters to care about, a needless time gimmick, most speaking parts are given to cutout archetypes to say exposition, and even the most harrowing of moments in the film come off as empty and procedural.",3
"I'll go straight to the point. this is supposed to be in the future. But, the technology they use is from current time. They didn't even try. Its not one thing, its all of it. Its like they decided to do this show, but didn't have the budget for a more futuristic set, so we're just supposed to ignore the fact that they wouldnt be using the technology it has them using.. The actors do a good job with what they have to work with and overall its enjoyable to watch",6
"Miserable attempt at mystery, boring characters, a complete waste of time. Bring back Poirot !!!",1
"Sherlock is is an enjoyable show, owing largely to the source material and general structure of Conan Doyle's stories.

But there is *so much* that is annoying about this show:

The extremely repetitive, annoying, blatantly manipulative score. It's impressive to have created a musical score that is more aggravating than a laugh track, as has been achieved here.


The extreme caricature of Sherlock's personality, which is wholly out of proportion from the original character of Sherlock Holmes. The result is a sort of lack of empathy for the character, like the look-at-these-dorks ""humor"" of the American show Big Bang Theory.




Despite each episode being the length of a feature film, no episode, if considered independently as a movie, would ever make a list of 100 or even 1,000 best movies. If Sherlock is going to ask so much of our time, it should use it effectively, to explore interesting ideas and challenges. I believe it declines to do so.

At its core, the show is very cheap entertainment — *not* art. It lacks ambition and it lacks taste.",6

"This is arguably the first film that really put the Coen brothers on the map and for good reason. Everything about Fargo is unique and original, from the beautiful setting to the incredible dialogue mixing together humour, drama and beauty so seamlessly the film is nothing short of a masterpiece.

Fargo's story revolves around how several characters lives begin to collide with one another after a simple kidnapping scheme begins to go wrong and body counts begin to rise. But where the film really succeeds is because of the interesting range of characters ranging from McDormand's kind speaking Marge to Buscemi's rude and talkative Carl. All the leads of the film have original and interesting personalities that make them so interesting to watch.

Part of the brilliance of this and every Coens Brothers film is that even the small characters feel very well developed. Someone like Norm (McDormand's husband) probably has somewhere around 5 minutes screen time, but in that short time it gives him a unique personality and demonstrates the close bond between him and Marge.

It feels that everyone in the film matters or has some role to play, with every character having some impact on the chain of events. A single conversation can change a character's entire outlook of a situation which the Coens make believable through the great writing where we can see why they would be changed by the confrontation.

On top of this the film has many moments of both natural and memorable dialogue. Some of it even packs great meaning such as ""There's more to life than a little money, you know. Don'tcha know that? And here ya are, and it's a beautiful day."" Lines like this demonstrate the Coen brothers skill in creating great meaning in their work whilst maintaining realism within the dialogue.

Beyond this the film contains many beautiful and meaningful shots mixing a feeling of suspense into the endless roads and blank landscapes that fill the screen. Even the simplest shots of a car driving down the road feel all the more impressive as we see the sight of the headlights shine through the falling slow.

The Coens constantly do what all filmmakers should, which is to take risks and try different things. Everything from the setting to the characters personalities is unique within the film. From start to end Fargo is a joy to watch and a true cinematic classic.",9
Its good the quality is not great but i would love to watch k return of kings so i must write a review so i finish my porfile,2
The message of the movie is advising the audience resist all kinds of stereotypes regarding different nations. But... at the end authors showing unbelievably stupid scene - Russian soldiers a executing German captive solders (even ready to kill children just because of military uniform). Seriously??? Such an obvious propagation of false judgment against Russian/Soviet people. This is simply devaluating whole movie.,7
"I'm not sure what to write here, but my mum put this on film today because she remembered it by chance. I was, however, planning to watch it because my parents told me about it when they played the song ""Chaiyya Chaiyya"" in the car during the Sydney road trip. They said that it was the most beautiful film they had seen. I thought, ""Why not?"" I was not expecting a sad ending. I loved everything about the film. Plot, casting, music, everything. But there was a deep meaning behind the film. I still don't know what it is, but yeah. Overall, I think this film should be watched by everyone. And SRK was the best!!",10
"I was forced to watch this horror by people who should have known me better. (The only movie I really wanted to watch this week was a Polish film, Ida, which was playing nowhere).

Godalmighty, what a stinker this was. Character development? None. Dialogue? Laughable. Plot? Who knows.

Against a ridiculous and badly done Washington process screen, I saw a ton of cgi star trek crap, mostly consisting in four-frame quick-cut scenes of people (?} kicking each other to no effect, a hell of a lot of useless machine-gun fire to equal effect, and explosions filling the screen followed by firy explosions filling self-same screen, giving way to yet more kicking and firy explosions.

It did occur to me that I was not the target audience for this total crap, but then, as I have said, I was dragged to it.",1
"There are few series that can match this for intelligence and surprises. Though the series began to lose steam after Moriarty (Scott's is one of the best portrayals of all-time), I still wish there had been more seasons. Freeman and. Cumberbatch are a sheer to watch.",9
"I have to agree with other ""bad"" reviews here.

Season 1 was a strong 10 with an amazing soundtrack, a cool storyline with mystery, creepiness and darkness that keep you captivated. And 80's throwback nostalgia was a bonus.

Season 2 had the same vibe, a little less mysterious and more far fetched sci-fi, but still captivating.

However, season 3 just lost it all, it seemed like the adventures of Scooby-Doo and the gang. So much bickering, pointless storylines, not intriguing or captivating at all. My 11 years niece told me it's her favorite season, which make complete sense. Seems like they had a new target segment of viewers.",8
"Having watched A Wednesday, Special Chabbis was a must watch for me. Alas! I was disappointed. This movie is based on real incidents but is not entirely truthful about them. The plot is interesting, but the story telling is slow. The movie has a confused mood. Sometimes it is dead serious, other times it tries to be funny. Then there are songs which are out of context of the main story line. They could have done away with the side stories. This way they would have done justice to characters involved. As usual Manoj Bajpayee has delivered excellent performance.

You should watch this movie, but don't expect too much from it. This movie is nothing like A Wednesday.",6
No need to write a reviews The subject speaks for itself,3
"The first episode was suspenseful and quite a novelty. The next ones, not so much. After revealing the Mark - Steven thing, the story kind of stays too much on this, and it's not so interestingly build in what the Egyptian Gods are concerned. Feels more like a showcase of the main actor's abilities to do more than one character, which becomes boring. Is he trying to get another role, using this series? Because if not, OK, seen the dual work, now let's move on to some deep, interesting plot twists.

I saw in comments that is brings in some real life sensitive matters, this I could not identify or have an opinion about, because I took it all as fiction. But the mental health side is one that is quite obvious, and this can hardly be seen as a joke. Or as just a plot enhancer. It brings into the series a load that may sink it, because it is too, well, a heavy burden, and a reality-drawn one. Psychological thriller AND Marvel Universe character, all in one? Maybe too much... Also, Ethan Hawke's character is so flat and monotonous that could make one wonder if all the subtleties were used on Mark/Steven and someonw considered it too exhausting to go for other complex characters.",5
"I read about the series online and thought the premise was kind of interesting, so I gave it a chance. As of now, I watched the first two seasons and up to episode 10 of the third season. The first season had a pretty tense ending, which I liked, but the second season and the thrid one so far were pretty boring. There are two big downsides in my eyes: First, the main character and his followers are so incredibly overpowerd that they are, except for pretty much one situation, never remotely in danger. They just smash everything that gets in their way. Unfortunately, there's not much getting in their way. So it's not an action-kill-fest and the few actual fights are boring. Second downside is the story. We get to know a lot about our main character and their old and new world in the first season, but this strongly declines after. Side characters are mostly one-dimensional and rather dull, though sometimes funny. Some parts of the plot seem utterly pointless, like five or so episodes spent on some lizzardmen, which does not contribute anything to the actual story. After those episodes, they are not seen again. This is especially sad because the episodes are pretty short.

So all in all, it has some good ideas, especially in the first season, but it rapidly declines afterwards. Episodes are short, but that also makes them easy to watch. Storytelling is too slow/unfocused for the short episode length. I read a little bit in the wiki and apparently there's lots of interesting stuff in the light novels, so we might get some better seasons in the future.",5
"I could not watch this movie to the end because it was so boring and predictable that it made me sick. No storyline whatsoever. It was all over the place. I guess writers could not come up with anything, so they decided to copy all the old stuff they knew and dump it in one place. Prolonged dialogs about nothing. In the best traditions of Cold War propaganda that apparently is still alive with some oldtimers, Iron man is fighting against some soviet guy who speaks his native Russian with horrible American accent. They used every single stupid cliché possible. Saving poor scared child, strong independent women wiping floor with poor ""denutted"" men, retarded dialogs , very typical happy end of course. It was like when the character takes one step you already know what the second step will be and how it all will end. When i was watching this movie i thought that the screenplay writer must be or really old and stuck in some time that had long passed or if he is young he is very stupid and out of touch with reality.",1
"With the tremendous cast of Game of Thrones , the phenomenal acting across the board episode after episode, there is no way to compare this to that. Somewhere, somehow they lost a key figure or figures involved in the making and production of G. O. T. Whoever the person or persons were that made nearly every actor/character and every plot and nearly ever scene so amazing either did not return or were not asked to return and it has made ALL the difference. Someone or ones were an artistic genius/s and they are not here anymore sadly. It is so/so and has a few moments here and there. Matt Smith, being the one that stands out above the rest and even Fabien F. Others are not given the best parts or expected to perform as all did in G. O. T., without Fabien and Matt I will feel very cheated entirely instead of mostly. Hopefully with the cast switch soon it will begin to gain 'something' , but clearly the behind the scenes wondermaker or makers are gone and I hope, since everyone holds on to wht legacy and longing G. O. T. Left us with comes back in someway even in part. PLEASE bring whoever it was Back to help if a season 2 even happens. G. O. T. Had the magic and genius the likes of which are rarely seen.. Who were those genius that didn't follow to this one??? Will you please stand up and come back? Find them! Pay them whatever you have to to make them come back... I'm not into all the nudity and such, however, in G. O. T. Almost everything made you feel some strong emotion or like being caught up in the world and characters to Love , hate and love again the best and worst. It was a rare and privileged world to have experienced and people are still chasing after it in HOTD, but it is not there but in remnants and rumors. The music still captivates and reminds us, but most of the performances and script do not bring us back.

UPDATE (Boring Boring Boring and no real acting at all now, by Episode 8).

Maybe.. Hopefully.. Please..? If the Hound were still around and saw this he would surely say what a bunch of f. C@#@@.",1
"The good: The animation, if that's even the correct word for it, is amazing! That's it. That's all the good.

The bad: Most of the singing is AWFUL! They cut out some of the best parts! Have you ever loved a book, and then hated the movie because it felt like they gutted the story? That's how this feels. The movie didn't elicit any emotion from me. The original did a great job tugging at your heartstrings, but this adaptation lacks that ability.

The bottom line is that if you liked the original, skip this one. It's just a disappointment.",3
"3 stars for mindless entertainment.... but that's it.

You REALLY have to suspend your disbelief in order to enjoy this movie.

The writing was cliche and lazy. Lead lost his wife, gets replaced by a puppy that gets killed by some random high class bad people that seem to have nothing better to do than to steal a guy's car.

I'll take $200 for things that never happened.

Lets ignore the fact that Wick killed probably 100 people in this film, but none of them were able to hit him with the many bullets shot at him.

When they finally had a chance to kill him after he got captured, instead of just shooting him, they of course, had to bring him to some remote warehouse where the villain gives him a Bond speech (how many times have we seen this?) before using a plastic bag to kill him. Why didn't they just shoot him when they captured him? Why use a plastic bag?

All they did was basically remake Taken, which at least was a bit more realistic and seem to have more purpose.

Then the acting was pretty horrendous. If you enjoy some total mindless entertainment, then go watch. If not, there are way better action movies that don't take themselves too seriously.",3
"I love this show but apparently few others like it. Can't even convince my family to watch it. CGI is amazing. I say this because I can only tell that it was used due to the impossibility of the scenes - not because of obvious visual flaws. The settings are grand and awe inspiring. Sort of the opposite of the sometimes claustrophobic old Doctor Who's or ship borne original Star Trek's. Despite reviews here, writing *is* excellent from both a character development and science fiction perspective. Acting is good except for Parker Posey who seems compelled to try and steal every scene she is in. Never understood why she is worshipped by fans of Indie films. Blech. For me this is one of those shows where I think it is about to plateau (or crater) and it just takes it higher. At the end of each episode I'm a little sad because I am closer to the end.",9
"Save yourself time and money and just skip this most boring movie ever! I mean at this point aquaman was 100 times better! Just as a reference to how bad!

Really disappointed!",3
i would say that I've watched only the past 3 series and series after series its the same storyline middle eastern fundamentalist getting hold of a nuclear bomb and jack having to defuse it . thats about it ....................... zzzzzzzzzzz with the budget they have got you would have thought that they would have spent the money on proper sets instead of a car on a rolling track for example when the shots are inside a car the background is whizzing past at 200 miles an hour !!!!!!!!!!!!!! - what the hell is that all about i think that they should bring this series to a hasty conclusion because its done its time now!,2
"Guy Ritchie is one of the best directors now the man is recently known for the gentlemen and Aladdin but before these decent films there was Sherlock.

Starred by Robert Downey Jr in Sherlock Holmes and Jude law in Dr Watson who is recently took on an iconic character Albus Dumbledore

The two did a wonderful job and the chemistry between them is wonderful either but performances alone aren't enough to make a decent film

The main problem is as in the title guy Ritchie is the wrong man for the job when I tell you Sherlock Holmes your mind imagine a grim world with a lot of smart people who try to diss each other but no Mr Guy Ritchie is trying to use his famous style which led to a confusion in the artistic perspectives at the end it made me uncomfortable watching and led to other problems like not using the full potential of Mark strong and his wonderful performances these guys need to learn from detective Conan anime in how to build a mystery and how can you make people interact with it and how to make them part of room and how to surprise them by your smart detective and you could also kept the drama between the characters like it is and your directing style instead of focusing in one way and neglect the others.",6
"I was so prepared to LOVE this series, especially since it stars one of my favorite actors (Matthew Goode), but sadly this was not the case. The writing was painfully cliche, with some of the laziest characterizations I've seen in awhile. The lead actress is a total bore. Even the music is bad. It just got worse and worse with each episode; characters who have never met onscreen suddenly know each other well. Characters who have barely gotten to know each other are suddenly making declarations of undying love to one another. Transitions are jarring and plot developments are endlessly frustrating. The script is tedious; I feel bad for the actors who have to speak such uninspired lines. Sometimes I swear I can see Matthew Goode questioning his life choices as he delivers his cringiest lines. Why couldn't the writers take what was obviously lame source material and try to make this story 2018-level TV-ready? Lazy, lazy shame. What a stinker!",2
"With Scorcese directing and this classic cast it has to be seen as a real disappointment. I took the advice of a previous reviewer and went into the cinema with no expectations, yet it still disappointed me. The acting was OK but every single top named actor has done much better in the past. The CGI ageing sort of worked facially, but it really couldn't make their aged creaking bodies move like a 30 year old. I yawned my way through the 210 minutes and wondered just why they had bothered.",5
"So far we had many comic book movies, but we never had so far, THE comic book movie. Not until Civil War! The Russo brothers did something I did not expect, exceed The Winter Soldier and make not only the best Marvel movie so far but the best movie in its genre so far. The movie is not only an epic proportioned spectacle but also a very well thought conclusion to what previous movies have been leading up to. From a technical standpoint the movie is, just like The Winter Soldier a delight. Practical effects, very good implementation of CGI, beautiful camera work and choreography, sound and a solid script. The Russo brothers take action to another step with amazingly cut action scenes that keep you on the edge of your seat. I need to mention that Captain America Civil War has one of the best action scenes I have seen, ever. The movie not only offers great action but also very good character development, strong performances from each member of the cast and more than enough screen time for everyone. The newcomers, Black Panther and Spiderman are as expected among the highlights of this spectacular flick. The movie has its issues, while it is up for debate the villain played by Daniel Bruhl is most definitely the biggest low in this movie along with some specific scenes where the editing can get a little confusing and tiresome making it hard to keep track on what is happening on screen. With all these said the movie is absolutely excellent and a whole new level for comic book movies.",10
... she is gorgeous but the rest of the movie is just a trainwreck or is it a buswreck or a yachtwreck? It's just so incredibly bad you don't even know why people make such movies. I did not chuckle or laugh once and the murder thing is just boring.,2
"The graphics and atmosphere of this movie are completely amazing! It's absolutely beautiful to watch, especially with surroundsound. The first movie was so amazing, but when you base an entire sequel on the vendetta of an overzealous jack ass, who died in the first movie, the people who wrote your storyline are completely missing the point. There was absolutely nothing interesting about the plot line. This could have been an amazing movie with all of the opportunities of new settings and other factors, but it got boring really quickly. Bottom line, if you turn it off before the end, you won't care at all.",2
The level of violence is great however this film is quite depressing from start to finish.,6
"I do not even know where to begin with this review. The beginning of the film already had my full attention. Not knowing what AS was, I found it very interesting seeing how the actor portrayed that character. Watch him arrive in America and going door-to-door doing sales and watching his interaction with different people was eye opening. Watching his pure heart and hearing his unfiltered words was heartwarming and a bit funny. I do not want to give any spoilers but what happens next and then ensues from there is a world wind of emotions, failure, and triumph. I cannot say enough how much I love this film. It's definitely a must watch.",10
"Nothing spectacular. The acting is good, the story is ok. It's fine, not great. I'd rather watch Clue.",6
"I can't believe that Spielberg would direct something like this... Another example of an iconic director selling out for an easy paycheck. The starting premise of the movie is very strong. In 2045 the world has become an ugly wasteland which is so depressing humanity must turn to the virtual world to cope. Not only is this a wonderful starting point for a sci-fi epic, it also relates to our society today. Unfortunately, that's where the promise ends. They try to sell you the premise that people of all ages cope with their depressing real lives by going into a video game world. The makeup of this virtual world is highly flawed for multiple reasons as it pertains to the movie. The most obvious flaw is the visual graphics. The movie is set nearly 30 years in the future but the graphics are obviously limited to our current technology. That simply doesn't work and makes the movie so easily dated in the real future. Also, the visual effects aren't even impressive by today's standards! What were they thinking????!!!

The movie is littered with endless 80's and 90's pop culture references. Every young character in the movie is also an expert on all of this. In 2045, are you kidding me?! How many teenagers and young adults are big into 50's pop culture today? You'd be hard pressed to find one. They also felt the need to play 80's songs for long periods multiple times in the movie yet they don't go with their respective scenes at all. At the start of the movie you're bombarded with endless explanation about the details of the virtual world. It will likely give you a headache and puts Inception to shame! If that's not bad enough they felt the need to play an upbeat 80's song I won't name during almost the entire intro of explanation, so there's that pointless distraction to deal with.

Another big flaw arrives if you consider what the masses would really want from a virtual world versus what's given to them... Living in a sad dystopian world, the obvious choice for escapism is a world filled with happiness and beauty. Instead they get stressful and often violent competitions in video games. What about the elderly, is that all they get too? There's only one person older than 50 in the entire movie and this individual seemingly doesn't participate in the virtual world.

The pacing of the film is atrociously bad, extremely rushed. The movie rarely gives you a chance to just sit back and take it in without spitting out tons of head spinning new information. The action sequences drag on and on and on like nothing I've ever seen before. If I wasn't with my family I would've walked out on the final fight scene it was so dragged out. I give it a 4/10 for having some fun escapism and redeeming qualities, but ultimately it's disposable and doesn't work.",4
"Being a massive fan of Call of Duty, this movie is pretty much what we spend hours doing. Definitely not for everyone, this is a shoot them up movie. Made me think of John Wick, kill my dog and I'll reduce the carbon footprint of Los Angeles.. It does however beg the question, does the child of a drug lord deserve the onslaught? These are easily one hundred people killed in cold blood for the life of this kid? Is he worth it? There's no purpose?

Chris is doing great stunts and the action is brilliant, but if he wants to be a ""Brad"" as it says in the movie, he'll have to start taking on some dialogues..

Come on guys work on the plot and dialogue a little next time..",6
"Barbie, the doll that destroyed stereotypes and taboos to later generate new ones and destroy them again, arrives at the cinema for the first time and does so masterfully. ""Barbie"" is a film that portrays misogyny from the perspective of the famous doll, the script is a biting criticism of patriarchy, internal problems within feminism, family and social relationships, consumerism and existentialism, all full of humor, in some scenes with a lot of black humor and the result is excellent, capturing what it wants to convey to the public. The cinematography by Rodrigo Prieto is magnificent and together with the production design they bring a fictional country full of fantastic and pink plastics. The soundtrack is tremendous, with a list of songs wisely chosen (with some exceptions). The cast is tremendous, Margot Robbie's performance is realistic and sentimental, proving to be the perfect Barbie in all aspects. Ryan Gosling plays Ken with humor and also gives him perfect dramatic nuances. America Ferrara as a working mother achieves a performance to remember, especially for her powerful monologue. Kate McKinnon gives a highly comic performance and an endearing character of a very unusual Barbie. Rhea Perlman pulls off an incredible performance wittily balancing comedy and drama. Ann Roth in a special participation of a single dialogue and a smile achieved a sublime and unforgettable performance. Helen Mirren with a voice acting as The Narrator describes everything with feeling and passion taking advantage of her imposing voice. Greta Gerwig's work as a director is genius, she manages to capture the ideas of the script, gives it her own style and pays homage to movie classics. ""Barbie"" is the movie event of the year, a rightfully earned title for this current classic.",10
"Loved this series until I got to Season 5. The analogy for me is: A Mercedes Benz that ran out of gas!! Bringing back the flavor of Twilight Zone and/or Outer Limits was brilliant. Time for some new fresh writers!! My Ratings for the 3 episodes as follows: 1) 0 Stars, 2) 10 Stars, 3) 4 Stars. As the song goes more or less: ""I've lost that lovin feeling...."" My 2 cents, nothing to live or die by!! Jerry",4
Best TV show ever I would highly recommend to anyone.,10
"A disappointing and trashy sequel that not only makes the original movie even better now, but features an iconic villain who is vastly underused in here. The 90-minute runtime forces the movie to tell no important story at all (Venom does almost nothing). Even a fine post credits scene (that was completely leaked way before the release) doesn't hype me. An underused, joyless, absurd mess. Plus: almost no joke land here.",3
"Let me start by saying I didn't have any high expectations for this new season. I knew this season would need to start an entire storyline from scratch and that there would be repetitive elements. So once I watched it, I was saddened to the extreme that my once beloved TV show took such a predictable turn. It's been 2 days since it aired and I still cannot believe what I just watched. This season completely lacked its sense of originality which we all loved from its prior 2 seasons. The plot was a literal copy of the second season ( monster -> closing the gate) with just more ""funny"" dialogue which was completely unnecessary. It really reduced the show to an over dramatic comedy show. The once great characters were all so unbearable to watch. The only interesting characters were Will, Robin and Dustin this season. So much of the plot was so annoyingly stupid that I couldn't believe the Duffer brothers came up with something like that. They left so many important questions (the Russians) carelessly unanswered just for the sake of progressing the story; which had no real depth. Even as a massive fan I had hoped they would've ended the show at s2 instead of prolonging it. Because clearly they are no longer capable to produce a season that could ever match up to their first. I don't have the slightest clue how they can pull off a S4, part of me doesn't even want to know because of this season's sheer disappointment. Honestly I could go on and on about how many aspects of this season I disliked. But I just can't be asked rn, just needed to vent. I hope this show learns from DARK, a masterpiece of a show which beams with originality and consistent writing. For all these reviewers who say this show is worth 10/10. Go watch DARK and you'll change your mind.",4
"If you do not believe in a higher power, God, the Lord, Jesus, etc...then you are not going to like this movie. The whole time I was watching the movie I never believed that Josh Lucas and Chrissy Metz could be married, in fact there is no chemistry there at all, and that really bothered me, because then I didn't believe their performances.

Overall, pretty lackluster performance by Josh Lucas, and I like him (he's the voice of Home Depot) and he does commercials, but in this movie...he didn't work.

If you believe in the Lord, Jesus, God, etc...and you need a great Christian family movie with no swearing, no inappropriateness then I would recommend this movie! I didn't find it sad like a lot of others, because the movie is about someone who almost drowns, should have drowned, but the lord choose to save the individual.",7
"Bizarre cheesy 1950s sitcom with the two main characters taken from MCU. If you love watching Bewitched then you will love this. If Avengers Endgame is your thing, you will be horrified. This is not action/adventure/sci-fi.",1
"Really? Gave this up almost immediately. Depressing, unimaginable, unexciting and slow paced. I've got better things to do with my time...",1
"I love Greece. If you set a film in Greece, you can't go wrong - right?

Not right.

I disliked seeing some of my favorite actors in this film. They all overacted - especially Kate Hudson - and I hope I can get this image out of my head before they act in another film. Shouting, stupid antics, just poor directing. Make it stop!

The plot was worthless, nothing to hook me in. I honestly I turned it off while I still was able to hear. T

The Glass Onion was such a contrived special effect. This film stunk - just like an onion. I have no clue why this is such a popular film but a good cast and setting brings viewers - it hooked me in.

All I have to say is DON'T.",3
"I feel like everyone is trying super hard, but even with it's distended length, Prisoners only just manages to be ok. I know Hugh Jackman is talented as heck, a national treasure, and a delightful guy but as a dramatic actor he just doesn't do it for me. He plays every scene for the cheap seats - you can almost see him reaching deeply to bring every ounce of angst or anger up. He serves a lot of aces but I just don't see enough subtlety for him to sustain a thrilling rally. As the dad straining at his limits of humanity in his quest to find his daughter, Jackman is a working class Neeson-in-Taken facsimile striking one note for several hours. The supporting cast is incredible on paper, but no-one other than Gyllenhaal and Melissa Leo gets anything to work with. Paul Dano and Terrence Howard in particular are wasted terribly. The plot feels like a Scandi Noir relocated to the mid west. It's also twists and turns, bizarre coincidence, red herrings, and tricky symbolism. I feel like they could have junked a fair amount and tightened into either a cracking thriller, or amped up the psychological tension of Jackman's character descending into darkness. Alternatively, a limited series format could have allowed some of the sub plots and spirals to develop a bit more (although then it would have basically been The Killing). For my money, too much of everything added up to not much of anything, which is a shame because it's clear everyone showed up with conviction.",4
"Meaning: it sucks.

Well... maybe not that bad, but it is exactly as mediocre at the original TV show.

This is one of those moments where I ask myself, ""Does Netflix just green-light everything that wanders into their field of vision? If something like this garbage is getting made, what did they turn down?""

As far as I can tell, Netflix says yes to more bad ideas than an Arizona State sorority girl.

On the plus side, the robot in this show is a better actor, and more life-like than the rest of the cast.

This show's only other revelation is that Parker Posey is such an easy villain to hate. -Proving that we were all fooling ourselves when we loudly exclaimed how much we liked her while standing in line at the art house movie theater years ago.",1
"I love how we begin this series with very little context. A boy in a dome of ice. Children who manipulate water. And gradually we build to a grand sweeping saga that encapsulates war, friendship, and belief. Don't miss this series.",9
"This film always manages to lose my interest during its second half. The deterioration of the Corleone family structure is unfortunately a very complex task to portray. With Al Pacino's superb turn as the man who loses his soul, the film hits amazing highs. There are moments in the first half, where we understand the roots of what later became the Corleone empire. Robert De Niro does his best to convey the essence of the young Corleone, but its the reenactment of an era through the loving art direction and touching score that provide the soul of the period.

The story line sets up the decay that destroy Michael Corleone. Sadly, following the road to its devastating resolution can prove to be a rather arduous task. There are unforgettable moments, as the more seasoned performers use subtle gestures and deliver lines that point to the overall tragedy surrounding the different characters.

""Godfather II"" ends with a much darker version of ""Godfather I"". All seems lost because this time, the Don lives on, and manages to keep his dynasty going. The question is at what price?",8

"Fun, fast paced and well directed. They got this film spot on. The action is sparse but well utilized and actually advances the plot unlike many other action movies. Chris Evans really looks the part, you can tell he really hit the gym to get into shape for this one. The supporting cast all rise to occasion too, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan & Anthony Mackie all deliver excellent performances. Needless to say the picture and sound were excellent as you would expect. The film is a good mixture of real locations and CGI, it's also a film that has a bit less humour than most other marvel movies, this one plays it fairly more straight. The film is nearly 10 years old now but holds up pretty well I think.",7

The movie was okay but it definitely was not worth the hype. There was literally only 25 minutes of action in the movie. Definitely stay for the end credit scene I promise you won't regret it. It did have a lot of funny moments that's why it got a 6.7 out of 10 I'd say without the comedy it would be a 5.5 to 6 out of 10.,6

You clench your teeth when he runs with sore and bleeding feet. You cry with him. You singto his numbers. Farhan Akhtar becomes Milkha Singh in this biopic.

I have never seen anybody work so hard to play a character. For me he is this year's best actor! The side roles chip in to this master piece. Divya Dutt stands out as the proud elder sister. Sonam needs to improve and a very smart cameo by the captain of the movie makes it a once in a lifetime experience.

The songs come and go along well. Zinda and the title track bring you into pace with Farhan's ""Milkha"". Final verdict: Stop reading, Bhaag to your nearest theater to see the story unfold.",9
"First of all watch this movie on your own risk. After watching this movie i realize that there should be refund policies for movies like these . I don't know about people who have written good review about this film, i think they might have been retard or they have seen some other movie instead of this crap. I don't get it how does three writers manage to write a garbage like this. When i went for this movie i thought this will be a good value for money but man i was so wrong. i just want 90 min of my life back. I just left the movie theater angry, i cant think of the last time when this happened to me. this movie is not only waste of money, waste of time but BORING till the extent that next time before going to any movie you will think 100 times...",2
"The movie was not on the level of the first part, but it was much better than the third part, the villain of the movie was bad, the black widow character was amazing and was better than Tony Stark in itself, the action scene in the movie was average, it could have been better, the movie itself was average and disappointed me.",5
Money and time waste to watch these flop actors. Need to see some new faces,3
"I skipped watching this for months due to all the bad reviews and claims of it being too woke etc. I can only assume people are annoyed because a black guy became captain America.

Is this the best thing ever produced by marvel? No. But, if you're a marvel fan and not threatened by a black man wearing the Stars and Stripes then you'll enjoy it. The main villain was a bit weak etc and the story was a bit thin but it was still a good all round action series. The leads were good and the effects / production quality were all you'd expect from a marvel flick.

If you've been holding off watching this because of all the 1-3, star ratings, hold off no more and get it watched.",8
"The comic book for being so popular was really disjointed, hard to follow and about half the time mind-numbingly boring. Snapping between timelines without letting the readers know what was happening, keeping 'secrets' that all the characters knew about but the readers didn't. Basically a lot of cheap ploys to seem edgy and hide that the thousands of pages it ran was mostly padding to hide the fact the writer didn't have a coherent story when it started. Overall the comic was around a 4. Invincible was way better and even managed an HEA, pretty good for a 'realistic' superhero book. Why it hasn't gotten a show and something much lower in quality has is a mystery to me.

The series treats the audience with a tiny bit more respect. Though bashing on Christianity (admitted, it was in the comic too - but then again Stormfront was a guy and they changed that) is getting old at this point. Seems kind of cowardly since the studios know that Christians aren't going to show up at their offices and start murdering everyone when they are offended, unlike followers of the religion that must not be offended even though they account for almost all religious terror attacks. Or atheists for that matter. How about showing a more realistic event, like some atheist neck beard fedora wearer shooting up a church because it's cool to hate on Christians like they do on TV and in the comics.

Other than their slavish virtue signaling to current social hot button issues, things go boom often enough to entertain. The story flows way better than the comic and the acting is quality. Overall better than the crap you get on Netflix these days anyway.",7
"Characters that do stupid things are very annoying. There's a lot of that in the first couple of episodes.

It doesn't get any better, though. There's a lot of pointless running around and a mental hospital arc that would be nice if we hadn't seen it before. A lot. It would have been better if they had integrated that with Steven's initial disbelief instead of having him melt down constantly.

The action sequences aren't that good, either. A lot of splicing and set pieces that depend on low lighting and special effects.

Marvel needs to up its game. They're spending a lot of money to put out the equivalent of fan fiction.",4
"Boring and meaningless. One would like much better if a college kid had gotten a camera and filmed a day in the local life of people living there. Starting with early am visiting a cafeteria, moving on to a local school, visiting local police station talking to policemen, going out on the highwawy filmong traffic, scenery etc.

The only good use for this movie is if your a/c is out in a hot steaming summer night, and you can't fall asleep. Put this movie on and close your eyes and the room will slowly cool down and finally you will get to sleep, that's how lifeless, cold and bland this movie is.",2
"Is mumbling great acting? Seems like Hathaway and McConaughey mumble the entire movie. It's almost as if the dialog in this movie isn't really meant to be fully understood.

Not much about this film can be easily understood because it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Lots of cheap sentimentalism. I love science, but I find this a middling, mildly interesting movie, not worth it's recognition.",6
"Too much horror / Harry Potter and not enough multiverse. They call the movie the Multiverse of Madness, but the only madness is the plot. True Mark fans will dislike this.",3
"I have a serious reservation against the terms 'parallel cinema' or 'art movies'. These terms are used to confine some dazzling cinematic experiences to selected audience. Why do people go to watch movies? For romance? For great music? For action? For sex? For humor? Would you go to watch a movie that has all the four things in it? Probably not. You will call it an 'art movie' because it does not have a Khan or a Kapoor or a Kumar in it. Instead it has Manoj Bajpai in his finest performance ever. Yes, even better than Satya and that's a lofty claim.

'Gangs of Wasseypur' (GoWp) is a shut-up call to the word 'parallel cinema'. This is a pure commercial film with everything a marketable film has. Its romance does not have huge silk curtains flying in the background coupled with violins. Its romance means the girl asking the guy to seek permission before holding her hand while sitting in front of a dirty lake. No, its action does not have shots of the hero jumping from Burj Khalifa or fancy car chases. It has gory action where fingers are chopped off and swords and daggers define weaponry. It's sexy but not in a bikini and beach way but for the rawness of a man's lust and woman's quest for security in his lust.

Its music is fabulously done by the unique Sneha Khanwalkar (Love, Sex Aur Dhoka & Oye Lucky Lucky Oye) but it does not have lip synching choreographed with hundreds of kids dancing along with the lead couple. Instead it has songs like ""Keh Ke Loon Ga"" (I'll tell you first and then screw you) playing in the background when the protagonist, if he can be called that, goes after the antagonist.

In fact, background music is the strength of GoWP jointly shared by Sneha and the brilliant Piyush Mishra. Both for performance and music, Mishra has started just where he left from in Gulal. How fitting is a song like 'Ik Bagal Mein' that expresses the feeling of one happiness coming with one sorrow in the background of scenes like a man uncertain of celebrating the birth of his son when his wife dies during childbirth.

GoWP is not epitome of story writing. The basic premise of 'if a Hindu wants to rule, he gets two Muslims to fight with each other' is subtle yet bold enough to raise eye brows. The story is a simple 'Karma is a bitch' saga where a son challenges the political powerhouse to avenge his father's killing. It sounds like a run of the mill 80s revenge story or even The Godfather. Rest assured, that its not. It also kills the rumors that it's an inspiration from the Brazilian film ""City of God"" because its not that either. The only similarity between GoWP and City of God is the power struggle between two gangs. The milieu and the events are totally different from each other.

It's the treatment and pragmatism that makes this film special. There can be a lot of criticism on making it an expletives ridden violent heavy 160 minutes, but the fact remains that expletives are as much a part of our lives as breathing is. You cannot expect goons of Bihar to talk to each other like cultured Lucknow literary geniuses.

GoWP has perfect casting. Every single character has come out with individual brilliance no matter how trivial his or her role is. It's impossible to pick out someone who did not do well. The only differentiating factor between the actors is the length of their screen presence be it Jaideep Ahlawat as Shahid Khan or Jameel Khan as Asgar Khan or Reema Sen as Durga. Richa Chadda as Manoj Bajpai's wife is a surprise show stealer. Another surprise package is Pankaj Tripathy who gets the biggest role of his career and grabs it with both hands. The talented story teller Tigmanshu Dhulia (Haasil, Shagird and Sahed Biwi Aur Gangster) puts down his pen and comes in front of the camera for one of the strongest performances in the film. His anger management and cunningness is remarkable. Piyush Mishra, the name is enough. Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Huma Qureshi are perfect in their roles and will get more exposure when the sequel revolves around them.

The film, however, belongs to Manjo Bajpani. From Bhikku Mahatre to Sardar Khan, take a bow. He is hungry, he is horny and he is humorous. He is everything you don't want your enemy to be but he is scared of his wife and admits that in front of his son. He doesn't remember his father but he remembers the revenge. He is a mercenary with an objective of his own. Jiya ho bihar ke lala.

This is Anurag Kashyap's finest work to date. He has overcome the criticism of using intricate metaphors (Gulaal) and unfathomable links (No Smoking) or making films ahead of their time (Dev D). He has kept the narration simple to make sure no one leaves the theater in confusion. The killing scene of Shahid Khan reminds you of Bhikku Mahatre's death in Satya. A powerful man can go down in a jiffy. It was Kashyap's dream project and his passion shows in the entire film.

It's important for the economics to work in favor of films like GoWP which was not a case for 'Gulal' and 'That girl In Yellow Boots'. With satellite rights apparently fetching half of the film's cost and a decent theatrical start in India, looks like Kashyap has finally covered that bit which will also help the sequel of this film.

GoWP is a proper adult audience movie. There are people who will not like it. Those are the people who will not go to watch it. Whoever does, will have a hell of a ride and will go for the sequel as well.",10
Why the director spoiling his own film? Why? Bad move for the movie...,6
"Ok storyline. Great special effects (as usual). Hammer (Rockwell) is just too annoying. I know, he's supposed to be, but it's just too much. Always loved Mickey, but wrong choice....",7
"i cant believe this movie has this great rating!! it was down right ridiculous!! the idea of several people being in the same dream. this is what happens throughout the movie. its impossible, and its just not even made to be believable, even by the movie. nothing in this movie would ever happen in real life, nor would anyone want it to.

the whole movie objective is spent trying to plant an idea in someones head(through a dream) in order to get him to destroy/sell off his company in real life. if you wanted to plant an idea in someones head to influence him to do something, why the hell would you use a dream to do it??? who ever acts on stuff that happens to them in their dreams?? i mean i dream every week i can fly like superman, but i don't wake up and go diving off buildings!! cause its just a dream, the events that happen in dreams didn't really happen!!! so why would i take real life action on them..

man this movie was such a blunder, i cant believe so many people bought into it. there were a few cool visuals, but nothing spectacular. the plot is very poor and the movie is trying to tell too much in too little time, and it all ends up in a mess of a movie",1
"You have a script... books to go off of. Characters who fought to be a part of something they believed in. Why would you change anything? Especially when the main character is such a fan? This is the most disappointing and heartbreaking turn of events... no one is going to watch any further. This should show you this by the way the ratings are so far with the main characters still in existence. Such arrogance. You honestly should be ashamed and embarrassed taking the fans off course because of your ego... this will fail and you wanted our time and got our hopes up for nonsense. Think about it.. when you're done, the hope we had in you would have disappeared because of your ego.",4
"The great virtue of Gravity is that I will be very unlikely to ever spend several hundred thousand dollars on a tourist space travel ticket, even if I had the money to burn, which I do not expect to have. The views may be out-of-this-world (although not in this movie!), but space travel is awkward at best. Cramped quarters, disoriented floating, most inhospitable and unforgiving environment just outside the door (hatch), unpleasant flight home. The only justification would be vanity: ""Hey, look at me, I'm an astronaut!""

What else about the movie? The plot is lame, the acting ordinary, even the ""views"" are pedestrian. There is heroism, but that plot twist is a rehash of several space movies dating back to at least the 1950s.",3
Might as well have watched twilight. Real pity on this one.,5
"A breath-catching, detailed series. This is not a show for the faint- hearted. I will even go as far as to say that this will become the next Dexter. Mads Mikkelson delivers her performance rarely seen in modern films or series and the same can be said for the protagonist played by Hugh Dancy. 13 Episodes of mind-torture, mysteries and a guessing game that does not end. Hannibal does justice to Thomas Harris' writing. If you have not yet started watching this series then do yourself a favour - if you are easily disgusted pull closer a bucket or skip dinner and if gore is your god then sit back and wait to be intrigued and mesmerized. Well done to the creators, writers, director and actors - superb does not begin to describe the masterpiece you created.",9
"I havde No words.... Its absolut madness to watch This...

Even My daughter (14yo MCU fan) Who was soooo hyped for This was like... Mjah i dont like it.",2
"It's not quite the masterpiece most reviewers will tell you. It has a straight to the punchline plot and very shallow characters. If you have nothing to do and can watch it for free, it's a doubtfull waste of time.

Other than that, it just ruined Venom as a character.",3
"If this was the best picture of 2020, then it doesn't say much for the rest.

It starts off ok, a comedy, but slips into a darker shade of comedy. After about an hour it is getting well into black comedy and the last 20 minutes it becomes a slasher movie.

I don't think I have ever watched a film when I have wanted to stop watching with 10 minutes to go.

Very unrewarding.",4
"Balanced casting, tremendous acting by actors amazing story like a joy ride must watch",9
I thought the special effects were awesome but the story was kinda rushed in the end.,3
"The movie has some serious top action sequences, although lack an overall plot which keeps you uninterested at times. But due to less runtime, superb direction and screenplay it is worth a watch. During some action sequences it looks really intense and made us felt our presence as third person view following the actor which get on the nerves. I would say don't judge the movie coz it misrepresent Dhaka. Yes we South Asian understands how Dhaka/ Bangladesh or India looks but we need to grow up. The movies are an art of fiction. We dont judge other hollywood movies misrepresenting countries we don't live, so why this. Let us see beyond that and enjoy this action sequence. No need to spread hate and force bad ratings.",7
"The idea for this film is exactly taken from the Matrix film. Going to a dream and a fantasy world with a series of wires that connect to humans. But despite bringing in prominent figures like DiCaprio and Tom Hardy, it still did not turn out to be as good as the movie matrix.",3
"Someone dies in a building complex and 3 strangers who are die hard fan of murder mystery podcasts get together to solve the mystery. It is an OTT knockoff of Desperate Housewives. Instead of a neighborhood street, here it is a building. Instead of 4 families, here there are 3 strangers. Except quirky humor there is nothing much happening. You lose the interest to know who done it half way through because none of the suspects are interesting enough. Also why done it is really banal and cheap. Also there are lots of expensive jewelry lying around that no one care about. Plenty of plot holes , easy access to the evidences is really funny too. Don't believe in the high rating if you are a mystery fan.",4
"It was a decent sequel to a decent Venom 1. Funny in parts, the action was decent, decent VFX. I'd have liked to see more Carnage but ah well.

Long story short, you'll feel about this one almost exactly the way you felt about the first one. A one-time-watch, but you won't miss much if you save it for later, or decide not to watch it.

Regardless of what the movie was like, the talk of the town will be the 30-sec post credit scene. What a hook to make you keep paying for Marvel movies for the next two months. I'd love to get some insight into how decision making works at Marvel.",7
"First, this is not for purists. It's not really intended to be so if you can get past that you can concentrate on it as something else. What that something else is is a mystery and not a very good mystery. The good news is this film has great costumes, sets, locations, and good acting. However, the bad news is the writing is poor and the plot is boring and scattershot. The most annoying thing for me was Enola's constant breaking of the fourth wall. It's done way too often and it does not really add anything to the experience. The worst thing any movie does is make you not care about the protagonist. How this dull affair rated a sequel is the real mystery here. Watch if you must but prepare to be disappointed.",3
Worthwhile watching. Can't really complain. But it lacked something that made me connect 100% Plus there were a couple details in scenes which did not add up Will it receive awards? Yes especially for the cinematography. Will it be one one those movies everyone sees? Probably But will it be remembered as a 100 % masterpiece? Well... you decide,8
Amazing movie with awesome story and acting all actor performance is very good and clever engaging story with a very good direction,8
Shazam could have been a great kids movie. Any parents not wanting their children exposed to spiritual darkness. Definitely won't want their children watching this. Sadly like many of today's writers they choose to lean more to spiritual darkness than superhero story line.,6
"""Amsterdam"" was a pleasant surprise. Surprisingly with such a cast I heard about it just at the beginning of December. I have personally enjoyed it, especially if you like slow-paced cinema. The film takes his time to develop the characters and it gives a proper background for every single one of them. We understand the story of these people, what they had to endure and what their purposes and objectives are; therefore the audience can create a bond with them. This is a well written movie and I have appreciated the direction of David Russel: despite the serious topics treated, the general tone is light and at times comedic, an interesting cacophony that worked greatly, at least for me. The plot is intriguing, it pushed me to keep watching as I wanted to see the mystery finally resolved. Almost two hours and a half flew away, I have never felt bored in any way and the actors were phenomenal. Christian Bale and Margot Robbie really nailed it.

From a technical perspective ""Amsterdam"" is very well done, I liked the colors, and there are some shots that are just beautiful. The director perfectly showed the different expressions of the different characters with many close-ups and overall he captured a lot of small details that revealed to be essential for the story itself. The photography is very clean, creative and extremely professional. It is beautiful to see so many great names united to create a movie that is clearly directed to a certain kind of audience, and I am glad that actors with a certain fame, decided to be part of these ""alternative"" projects. We also need films like this.",7
"This was not only one of the funniest movies I've seen in a while, but beyond the wonderful dumb humor and the silly jokes it was also unexpectedly a very profound film about friendship, growing up and being a teen ager.

Although more than a decade has passed since my I finished high school, I felt like I personally knew the different characters in the film, and also the human feelings and situations that it conveyed.

Will Ferrel has given the torch of comedy to Steve Carell (on Anchorman) who gave it to Seth Rogen (on the 40 Years Old Virgin, who passed it on it to Jonah Hill (on Knocked up) and now comes this funny yet insightful film where Hill plays a lead role. Beautiful.

"Its sad how people are rating this one, actually there is no character development at an extent where you can be amazed and invested. The boys nor the heroes develop to a level where they can entertain us , there is no dept at all in any characters. I have somehow finished it but nothing amazed me or entertained it was nothing like what i have expected. Not magical it dosent boost your dopamine at any point in the series there are three seasons none of the episode was awesome enough to make you amazed , not even good for kids as there is blood everywhere and thats a little interesting part , the way they blow humans. I am disappointed.",1
"Collectively I have seen almost 8,000 titles - films and television series. I have them all rated here on IMDb. Surprisingly, Hannibal is one of the most shockingly graphic violent productions out of all that I have seen. But the thing is, it's not just grisliness. It tells a psychologically bending story of something a good majority of us can relate to - abusers and the mental/spiritual grip that they can hold onto their victims. Hannibal is an abuser, obviously much more than that, but an overall simplification. Will is his victim who he mind-strangleholds. Aside from the story, the actors are all phenomenal and camera work, especially during the scenes when Will is becoming the killers, is great.",8
"""Alpha"" is an Adventure - Drama movie in which we watch a young man in the prehistoric past who is the son of the captain tribe to struggle to return home after being separated from the tribe during a buffalo hunt. He left for dead and now he has to fight in order not only to return home but also to survive. In his journey, he finds a similarly lost wolf which was also left by its pack and they become friends.

I had low expectations from this movie and I have to admit that I was happily surprised by it. It's a beautiful movie with a simple plot and some good interpretations from its cast that they will make you feel that you are there too. I liked very much the interpretation of Kodi Smit-McPhee who played as Keda and he was simply outstanding and I also liked the interpretation of Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannessonwho played as Tau the father of Keda and he was also very good at it. The direction which was made by Albert Hughes it was very simple but not boring. He made many differences and there was also a tremendous evolution Kodi Smit-McPhee's character.

To sum up, I have to say that ""Alpha"" is a nice movie to watch, it has a simple but interesting plot with some good interpretations that will make you feel that you are inside the movie too. I recommend everyone to watch it because it will make you think about a lot of things and I also believe that is a life lesson and it is good for everyone to watch it and learn from it.",6
"I believe that this is The Most Over-Hyped movie Of 2019.. Step aside your fascination with cinematography and Take an overall look at the movie to determine how good it may be.. I swear many people didn't notice James Bond film, Spectre, begins with a tracking shot that appears to go on for a full four minutes before the first cut.",6
"I've always enjoyed Sherlock Holmes movies, stories, and things of that nature. In coming across the series from the BBC I decided to watch and must say I enjoyed almost every episode. I say almost because some episodes seemed to take on more story hence a longer episode than what was needed. But despite this Sherlock Holmes is a tv series I am truly happy I came across on Netflix.",9
"It's a bit sad to see, a somewhat decent concept, that is violently shot down with plot holes, clichés and general stupidity, just to create a meaningless, empty confusion.",3
"Lol this show is something else. It's gritty, dark and insane. Not my type of show tbh but honestly it kept me entertained throughout the seasons. It's get crazy every time.

Great cast!",9
"It's an enjoyable movie, nothing groundbreaking. I kind of regret watching it at the cinema, its too goddamn loud with all the screaming and whatnot which had both me and my family cover our ears at times.

Disney kinda screwed us over by not letting there be blood in a movie that has Carnage in the title.. its stuffed with deaths and violence but blood? Unaceptable appearntly. Oh well its a better sequel than most movies get.",6

funny and entertaining for ppl under 18 i guess, which may be enough after all...",4
"Our family is a big GoT fan, and we've stuck with HotD thinking things will pick up eventually. Instead, Episode 6 was one of the worst that one could have expected from the GoT franchise.

In my opinio, it's hard to pin point one thing wrong - the speed, or characters, or the storyline. The treatment of the story is akin to a family drama. As some other reviewers have pointed out, it just feels like a whole different series, and the director's attempts at scenes to shock you leave you well... disgusted.

The political drama that is central to GoT is lackluster in HotD and somehow overly focussed on gender roles rather than a strong storyline.

Not coming back for the next episode.",2
"So, I like Egyptian mythology, like Marvel, but this just doesn't cut it. The whole split personality thing does nothing to add to the story. For a show called ""Moon Knight"", Oscar Isaac spends very little time actually as Moon Knight.

Back to the drawing board I think Marvel.",3
"This film was too long, tried to be too clever. It was an hour too long- it was only saved by the ending but just. I'd watched this when it first came out- I was underwhelmed after watching it. I've just rewatched it again 6 years later and it's even worse. I was so bored- I couldn't wait for it to end. Just caught Rambo 2 on tv afterwards and just 10mins of that was way more entertaining.

Like Dunkirk- it's just style over substance- I like Nolan especially what he did with Batman but I do think he's slightly overrated. Once you remove the hype- his films are good but not great.",6
"24 is one of the most watched shows on TV for a reason, its suspense. The real-time feature makes it all that more exciting, but it would still be fine without it. Kiefer Sutherland throughout all of the current six seasons is fantastic, great to watch. I must say his acting isn't always that believable, but 95% of the time it's perfect.

The only problem I think the 24 seasons have is that they are all too much alike. However I'm currently watching the latest season, which is 7. Over the seasons the plot has obviously changed, but this is on a new level. It's totally different to any other seasons; it's really enjoyable.

For anyone who's considering watching 24, from the start. It may seem long, but it's worth it in the end. You'll enjoy watching new and old characters throughout seasons, finding out which survive, which die etc.",10
"...And no, i don't have high expectations, you just have low standards.

Before i start, i should say if i come across as harsh, i'm not trying to insult anyone, just saying my opinion, if you like the show, then good for you, but I hate it, and no, i'm not a hater and don't actually enjoy hating things. So here we go:

First of all, i've watched the 60's show and the 90's movies, and loved them with all of their flaws, but this show is just... So bad, i only finished it because of peer pressure (all of my friends watched it), but i hated almost everything about it.

The whole thing is just another heartless, soulless, lifeless cash grab. It's stupid, lazy, forgettable, cliche, predictable, with bad writing and ohhh soooooo boring.

I guess i liked some of the casting choices, like principal Weems, and Jenna is very beautiful. There were also a couple references to the originals that made me smile, (cooky and spooky, snap twice, etc), uncle Fester showing up also made me happy and that one date scene with Tyler and Wednesday was funny. But that's about all i liked.

The plot is boring, and it just stretches unnecessarily, it could've been wrapped in 3 to 4 eps max. Should've made a movie instead.

Addams family has always been the portrayal of a happy and healthy family unit. Do i even need to say more on this and how the show handled it?

The characters were uninteresting and one dimensional. There was also a lot of character tensions and dramas with little to no pay offs. I feel like nowadays character development is more of a privilege and bonus than something that should exist in stories.

A lot of subplots and plot threads were left hanging to hype up season two. Which is not exclusive to Wednesday, just something i see a lot and hate.

The only romance that actually managed to be entertaining was Enid and Ajax's. The rest (especially the love triangle) was stupid. There was no chemistry between characters. ( Like Morticia and Gomez, which should be a crime. Like how did you manage to destroy their romance?? Was it really that hard to make them look in love???)

Also, it felt like the show itself didn't know what it was, and was trying to be everything at once. Comedy, mystery, horror, drama, romance, etc. So it ended up being weird (not in a good way) and ungrounded. It couldn't set the mood and the atmosphere. And don't get me wrong, you can mix those genres and get something good, but you have to execute it well, and here, they couldn't.

It didn't feel like Tim Burton at all, It just felt like a bad fanfiction. It was so trope-y and cliche with no originality.

Not to mention, forgettable. I mean, i watched the whole thing yesterday and now? I barely remember 1/3 of it!

And you know what bothers me most? I pretty much knew all of this beforehand, and i was still ready to give it a chance and love this version just as i loved the rest, embracing all of the flaws, as long as it was enjoyable... But it couldn't even do that!!!

I would've forgiven all of the mistakes, if only the show hadn't bored me to death. If only the show made me give a a single F about any of the characters. If only it had one, just ONE actual, genuine, emotional moment. I would have loved it. But it didn't.

If i had to sum it all up in one word, it would be disappointing.

Also, on a more general note, I have rarely, VERY rarely met an actual human teenage person that acts like teenagers act on TV. When will people understand that not all teenagers are angsty, stupid, dramatic, and immature brats that hate their parents?? Seriously, i'm getting sick of these stereotypes.",2
"I like Superbad for the following reasons:

1. Superbad is uncompromising in its look at what it can be like to transition out of High School. The roles of the girls and boys in the story are anchored in exceptionally balanced, three-dimensional characters. In these characters, there are redeeming qualities and flaws that range from subtle to glaring. However, Seth, Evan, Fogell, Jules, Becca, and the two cops are all different people at the end of the movie than they were at the beginning, and the story is told in a way that the audience understands.

2. The profanity. Words are tools, and the dialog of Superbad builds the expression of not only the thoughts and the characters, but also of what the collective culture of the characters is. This is not a movie for someone to get caught up on what it is young people say. This is a movie for people who appreciate what young people mean.

3. Quid Pro Quo. Just as Juno is to Knocked Up and Mean Girls is to...well, pretty much the whole genre of High School Boy Geeks Overcoming Oppressive Jocks Movies, Superbad is begging for a response to be made from a female perspective.

That would be the movie to threaten the establishment.

No original story and anything! I wish the movie was shorter. The acting was fine but the movie as a whole didn't make any sense.,5
"Good movie but it's disappointing, The story of the movie was good, The acting in the movie was good, The acting of the main character was bad in the first but he became better, Lupita Nyong'o acting was bad I don't understand why she won the Oscar, Michael Fassbender was great and I scared, The movie didn't Deserve Best Picture, The wolf of Wall Street was better, I don't recommend watching it.",6
"I heard of Moon Knight, but never really knew the hold story, but then I saw the first episode on Disney plus, and I gotta say I'm excited for what comes next. Oscar Issac really takes us on this journey, playing like a Cary Grant like style.",8
"Waiting all week for one episode is such a let down in the days of Netflix. Then to wait all 7days for such a boring episode. All the episodes besides the first have been such a snooze fest.

And if we wanted to see porn... we'll we'd rather just watch regular porn, rather than 5min of soft core filling up a show we've been waiting 7days for.

It's the age of internet and porn, you are wasting out time with trying to be Larry Flyntt, just quit it. And no you don't need to rachet it up a notch by making it insest. NO ONE IS WATCHING THIS SHOW FOR YOUR SORRY ATTEMPT TO DIRECT PORN, we want to see a good show, serious action, deep and witty dialogue, we'll developed characters, an amazing plot.

Damon has been the best part of the show same with the King, daughter/princess is doing all right.

But let's get moving along already is all I can say while sitting through an entire episode. A show like this on a Sunday night should be at least pretty good, this just ain't it guys and gals.

GOT was top 3 all time shows for me. This I'm about ready to walk away from. Even when GOT had a slow episode it at least had really good dialogue and interesting characters that you cared about.

This crap is just weird and boring. Straight cheeks.",1
"The Godfather: Part II is not a sequel in the traditional Hollywood sense, rather a companion piece to one of the greatest films ever made in The Godfather. Here, the story is epic and sprawling, as it covers Michael's reign as the new head of the Corleone family by moving the business to Nevada and at the same time flashes back to show the story of how a young Vito Corleone came to power and started the story now being continued.

Francis Ford Coppola returns to his old ground with writing partner Mario Puzo to expand on Michael and establish Vito and doing so by going back and forth. This leads to some incredible shots of the young Vito and the young Michael in the same frame, a haunting image and symbol of how far this family has come. It also shows how far Coppola has come in terms of directing these films. Once again, his direction is immaculate in every sense, perfectly balancing the time between Michael and Vito, always picking the right time to go from story to story.

All this aside, I haven't even mentioned the other strong points, which are basically all of them. The flawless acting continues here with Al Pacino cementing his legacy in this very subdued yet emotionally upsetting performance as Michael, the youngest who seemed ostracized from his family at the beginning and now has all the power and success and none of the love or affection his father had. Indeed, one of the main themes of the film is to show how different Michael handles things from his father and whether or not he is a better leader. Diane Keaton, Robert Duvall, Talia Shire and the tragic John Cazale all contribute so much in their roles, and Robert De Niro made his name known with a flawless performance as the young, ambitious and loyal Vito.

Once again, Gordon Willis photographs and once again the darkness shrouds the characters, symbolizing the heavy-handed situations surrounding them. This adds so much to the tone and atmosphere of the story that it completely takes us up in the story and makes the 200 minute running time fly by smoothly. The Godfather and The Godfather: Part II have long been recognized as required viewing for any film lover and I cannot argue. They are so well-made and engrossing that it is impossible to not feel for these characters and the choices they make.

The final two scenes are quite something to behold. The first is a flashback to see the kids waiting for Vito to surprise him on his birthday. Here, we see how Michael truly was treated and how Sonny, Tom, and Connie related to one another and how it colored the rest of their existence. The final scene is Michael, alone and contemplating everything that has happened. It is a scene for the audience to contemplate and wonder at the travesty that has abounded. And these two films are truly something to behold and admire for their sheer quality and intensity.",9
"Worthy to watch,full of content & intimidated chemistry of Aditya & Sanya. Fatima's character is also noticeable.",7
"I saw this movie recently on DVD, the reason I did not go to theater was (actually were) new actor, new director, and the plot was also not so much thrilling, as 9/11 and Osama are not in news now.

The main drawback of most Bollywood comedy flicks is, they do not have any plot at all, and most of them have only three things 1.Misunderstanding 2. Marathon of characters 3. Old or double meaning Jokes in place of dialogs

This film was nothing like old crap and to my surprise, I was completely wrong; the cast does justice to the movie's theme especially ""Noora chacha"" played by Pradhuman Singh and yes ""Sikandar""(the chicken) too. Ali jafar with his impeccable timing is well suited in his first appearance in Bollywood. This is perfect platform for him to be launched in such a good movie.

The main USP of ""Tere Bin Laden"" is a well-crafted script with total fresh idea and of course superb direction. What a debut for Abhishek Sharma. It is a satire on the system; it is a fine funny take on the whole world fighting with the terror. This is the movie you should watch with your friends or family if you want to double your experience of fun.

And the last line: Don't read this, go watch movie and please do not watch it alone.",9
"I don't feel something after watching this movie. Decorations, actors, era's atmosphere are perfect, but I watch films to get emotions or mindfood: only 15 minutes before end give me emotions and story don't make me think about existence, so only 5/10 :(",5
"This book could have been adapted into something so much better. I just finished the six episodes and I'm frustrated and disappointed. I overall regret dedicating my time to watching the whole series. The last couple of episodes are the worst.

The acting from a lot of the side characters is very flat and dull. It feels as if they don't know what they're supposed to be portraying most of the time. Especially the boy playing Adam Young. Absolutely emotionless and dreadful! Why was he cast? Many characters needed to be cut so that there would be time to develop the ones we see. As it is, it feels like nobody really gets character development and therefore I really don't care about the fates of these characters at all.

They tried to stick way too closely to the book. They would sometimes insert lines, passages and characters from the book that just don't translate well to the screen. I wish they had been brave enough and talented enough to just take the book as inspiration but to create a story that actually works on the screen. As it stands, the novel is far superior to this.",6
Very very thin plot no story to develop. I could not wait for this torture to be over. Some of the acting was ok. The Adam Sandler character was so predictable from 10 minutes into the movie you pretty much knew the story. Wait for DVD if you think that you must see it.,2
"Movie is average. Dialogue/character building/cinematography/background music is very poor.

Story is inspiring but director has wasted it completely.

Mr Nagraj, you could have done better than this.",4
"I hate when director gives dominant power to certain character just for the arc of the story. Animes like naruto has been using this kind of thing. There was so much potential to this movie.

The illuminate seems like the weakest and dumbest version of avengers. If falcon was in this movie as an antagonist he could have defeated the whole illuminate members

People here saying that expectations were too high for this movie... Well it should be.. Its how they advertise in the trailer. And its not that we wanted like avengers endgame all we wanted was a movie where characters has a effect on the story and were there not just for the sake of cameos.",2
A beautifully directed and binge-worthy mini-series in a long time.Loved it.,9

"I'm challenging the Batman IP. That darkest city of Gotham clearly isn't meant to be anyone's home. Just move somewhere else maybe ? Meet a guy who keeps blowing up that city's buildings, and burns its giant pile of bank notes. Name of that villain is Joker. Another villain turns evil, and vandalises whenever a coin toss goes bad. Batman inherits a lot of money from his killed parents, and forms his skyscraper corporation right in that city. Where you must be on REALLY good terms with the cops, and always pay more than standard taxes. Because 'screw this world, it killed my parents, let's stay here forever AND form a giant corporation here.' Batman: you teach kids to be idiots.",6
Love this show. Great cast of characters and look forward to season 2,9
"A bad series , really bad one ! Such a predictable story line , not a big fan of the cast as well , and what was with Allison and that huge guy ? Ehhhh , their chemistry was so cringy ! On the whole , the characters were lame , the dialogues were so forced and didn't make sense , finally the idea of time travel was not executed properly ! I would say FLOP and FLOP, I think Robert Sheehan was the reason I completed the series - his acting and character both were far better than the rest of the cast !",2
"I must admit I was a bit worried about the Witcher series before it came out, due to the whole woke feeling of the trailers, news and the custome designes.

I am happy to announce that those concerns can largely be laid to rest. This Witcher series felt authentic. It's gritty and plenty of character development. Henry Cavill does an AMAZING job playing as Geralt. I had expectations of Henry, but this exceeded even that. He captures Geralts behaviour and humor to the T. Freya Allan also does a fantastic job as Ciri.

The first episode I would say is the series weakest, but it picks up speed pretty fast, and it finishes season 1 incredibly strong. Honestly I can't wait for Season 2!!!

My only complains are that Yennefer and Triss Merigold felt badly cast. I know its a petty thing to complain about, but sorceresses are described as 10/10 in their appearances, for valid reasons too which I will not go into detail here. Anyway, they are supposed to be some of the most beautiful women in the world of witcher, the ideals which they have been shaped into during their transformation. Actresses potraying Yennefer and Triss respectively, are not bad actors and I have outmost respect for them, but they do not live up to the appearances of their characters. They look like an average person on the street, and not like a sorceress should look like. It makes it weird why Geralt would be absolutely smitten by Netflix's Yennefer. I hope showrunners dare to do a recast for these two roles but I don't count on it.This does not make or break the show for me, but it is the reason I give it a 9/10 rather than 10/10, since they are main characters and take up a lot of screen time.",9
"Do not believe that it gets better after the 4th episode. It does not. This kind of trash television should never be watched or produced. Poor writing, no coherent story, awful paper thin characters.",1
"STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning

As the son of Mustafa (voiced by James Earl Jones), the 'Lion King', the young Simba (voiced by JD McCreary) is destined to take over from him and rule the animal kingdom upon his death, much to the chagrin of his evil uncle Scar (voiced by Chiwetel Ejiofor), who engineers a plot to murder Mustafa, convince Simba he is responsible and banish him away as he falsely ascends the throne. During his time in the wilderness, Simba grows into an adult lion and must return to Pride Rock to confront Scar, who's allowed his villainous cohorts the Hyenas to take over.

Although the original Lion King is a Disney classic I hold fond memories of from my childhood, I've taken my time getting round to watching this 'live action reboot' (of which Disney seem to be making their stock in trade at the moment) on the grounds that I wasn't awfully keen on sharing my viewing experience with loads of rowdy kids, and so waited until it had been out a while. Although it felt odd as a grown adult watching a load of talking animals, I tried to put aside my cynicism, and was rewarded with a scene for scene remake, minus the magic.

With the exception of James Earl Jones returning as Mustafa, the characters are all voiced by different actors from the original cast, none of whom have the same inflection in their voice that made all of them so memorable before. This isn't helped by the live action animals not having the ability to use their expressions like they did in the animated film. The success of David Attenborough's Planet Earth series shows how fascinating people find real life nature, and so transferring the film into a live action setting was certainly an idea with potential, but none of it is explored here.

This is Disney's special way of marking the 25th anniversary of the release of the original film, but while it's visually impressive, it still just amounts to the original film, scene for scene, with a third of the heart and Seth Rogen doing a characteristically crass turn as a farting Pumbaa. Stay at home and watch that instead. **",4
"""Iron Man 2"" (2010), this movie is equally as good as the first movie. What's with the hate it gets? It's definitely a worthy sequel to ""Iron Man"" (2008). Granted, it's not quite as good as the first film. But, I still consider it a perfect movie by my standards. It has a perfect story, perfect acting, perfect sets/locations, perfect special effects, and a perfect soundtrack. The story is a continuation after the first film. After the opening scene, it takes off with no looking back. This movie digs deeper into a strong story, with a lot going on. The first one had a lot going on, but this one has a lot more subplots. But, they are all resolved in the end, and that's what's important for a well done story. Once again, Robert Downey Jr. is pitch- perfect as Tony Stark/Iron Man. Gwyneth Paltrow is great as Pepper, and Don Cheadle does a good job as Rhodey. To be honest, Don Cheadle is not as good as Terence Howard in this role. However, he does still work as a passable substitute as Rhodey. Scarlett Johansson joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe in this movie. She does a great job, and she puts out her second best performance in this one, out of all her roles in this franchise, with her best performance being in ""Captain America: The Winter Soldier"" (2014). Mickey Rourke does an excellent job as the villain; Ivan Vanko, and Sam Rockwell does a great job as Justin Hammer. The sets/locations are beautifully laid out, and work perfectly with the context of the film. Obviously, being 2010 when this film was released, the special effects are first rate. Finally, the soundtrack is well composed with the tone of this movie. Overall, this is a solid sequel, and every bit worth watching as the first movie. I never understood the unnecessary hate it gets. I give this movie 5 out of 5 stars on my scale, which equates to 10 out of 10 IMDB stars. ""Iron Man 2"" is a very entertaining movie, and one of the best sequel films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If you haven't seen it, go watch it. It's 100% worth a watch. I guarantee that you'll love it!",10
"This film is everything wrong with our young today. As for the title I'd say I can easily pick 13 reasons why not to watch it. Have Americans ever been into a school or seen a school in the UK? Talk about lack of realism. It's beyond a joke. Kids this age are barely 5.1 ft and have just started washing dishes yet all this lot are the way they are in the series. It's crazy.

I mean I thought realism stopped when we were given Orange County or Riverdale but this is worse and that's being totally honest. For sure there's decent actors in. People say the first series was brilliant and the others aren't with season 3 having low ratings. I say don't waste time.",1
Re-watch agents of shield or anything marvel other than this. Waste of time,1
"Ford v Ferrari is a film that commits the worst sin that a film can. This movie manages to not offend at all while also managing to do nothing extraordinary. This movie challenges no one and leaves it's audience the same way as how they began. It is entertaining enough for its longer than average run-time, but being entertaining isn't enough to fill the longing for something better this film leaves you with.",5
"Good news: this movie is only 1 hour 37 minutes long.

Bad news: this movie is 1 hour 36 minutes too long.

There is nothing this movie brings, just bland waste of time.

Too bad, cast is great.

Lazy screenplay.",3
"The story was good but what makes it better is the plot and with that i mean the climax. The acting was praising and improving, I dispised some of the characters in this season like Vanya and allison but too bad that it has been justified but I still couldn't admire them in this season, but I liked the others specially number 5 also I loved how some of the characters were developed . As much I liked this season but I didn't like some of the path in the story. As usual this has been a great season and I don't know if the end is leading us to other season, but If they did another one I hope that it will be made carefully.",8
Keep in mind that I am very biased because I am a huge fan of the books and games. I've read through all of the Witcher books numerous times and played through all of the games multiple times as well. I have to say I was very excited about the show but have been left disappointed.. The 1st season was tolerable but but I found all the additional content to be unnecessary. By the end of the first season I was atleast hopeful that the second season would be better. Unfortunately it is not. If they has stuck to the story of the books to a reasonable degree like the lord of the rings films and the first few seasons of game of thrones this could have been great. But they diverged so far to the point of it being unreasonable. We have come to love these characters for a reason. To change so much does a huge disservice to the incredible story telling of the author and cd projekt red. If your a Witcher fan and want to watch a great movie check out the new animated Witcher movie on Netflix. That one was great. I swear they should have had the story writers for the Witcher 3 write the show. It's a huge disappointment.,3
It was a long boring movie with very little substance. Call it a rip-off or not it doesn't matter the movie just isn't that good for that to be an argument. Don't believe all the hype.,3
"I believe this series is about Addiction- an addict's life is a loop of scoring, using, withdrawal, scoring. There are two main character's but they are but one for the true personality of a messy addict is the control freak. Natasha Lyonne certainly offers a new perspective on the ""heroine""- she's tough but heartbreaking. The humourous, almost slapstick beginning draws you into an existential nightmare. Russian Doll is not a cakewalk but it's worth the journey.",8
"They Luer you in with Jason Bateman. Plays in the first two episodes and it starts off with a good storyline. Then Jason Bateman disappears and you're left with a bunch of no-name actors as one person wrote they are driving in the car or standing around for hours talking. Concept is good just really boring delivery and acting. They played us, gave us a solid A list actor then he disappeared and your left with an inadequate budget series. Anyhow films about el cuco a boogeyman. It takes over peoples body's and produces a double. Then goes and kills people, then other persons blamed. That's it. The whole story. Nothing more about voodoos or interesting things. All that said, It does get 4 stars at the least.",4
"Some of the scenes in the pilot were very good. Unfortunately, Disney could not help to insert several woke and PC scenes with an Asian internment camp survivor and naturally the oppress black family who are discriminated over getting a bank loan and job by the white banker and government. Fake woke and PC stories lines do not make very good programming so hope the low rating of these shows will force Disney to correct their mistakes. I can see the future of this mini series so will not be tuning in to the second episode.",3
"Spider-man 2 is a long awaited sequel to the first movie. Toby Maguire does an excellent job playing Spider-man along with Alfred Molina playing Otto Octavios/Doc Ock. The first movie left everything hanging. What happens to Mary Jane, Harry, and Aunt May?? Spider-man 2 fills in those gaps with some exiting new twists. It has far surpassed anything anyone ha ever seen. The previews show Doc Ock being this ruthless villain doing whatever it takes to get what he wants, but you would have to see the movie to find out his little twist. Spider-man 2 is a movie that most would probably want to see again and again, I know I have. If you haven't seen it yet, You don't know what you're missing.",10
A tamil crime thriller with the standards of Hollywood thrillers...,9
I had to double check if this is Tarantino movie. Movie is so long and so dull that i watched it for like 5 days until I completed it. But I was persistent to watch it until the end. Ending of the movie is... I am lost for words... Like someone was trying to make a parody of a Tarantino movie. Maybe Tarantino himself wanted to make parody of his previous work. I lost almost 3 hours of life on this movie.,2
"I hope they recast Triss at least. despite this, very good show",9
"This might be the single stupidest film I've ever wasted time on, Hell, I've seen some real $hit bricks. Anyone remember Kull the Conqueror? Nah, these guys decided to bake something worse than that. Some day sometime in the future losers will be smoking weed and saying this is a cult classic, Nope, Just kidding. This is worse than that. You will be dumber for seeing this.",1
"Al Pacino was the best part of this film. De Niro was good too. The whole mob thing has been beaten to death and, quite honestly now feels boring. The movie was far too lengthy with not enough payoff and a meh ending, but I guess since it's based on true events that is what we get. I finished the film thinking it was well done, but not well done enough for my taste. This movie made me want to watch the much better HEAT from 1995, which is in my top 3 favorite movies of all time and brilliantly directed by Michael Mann. In HEAT we get both Pacino and De Niro in their prime. They are now washed up and too old to really shine, although they do well in THE IRISHMAN. If you want a long, drawn out mobster film that drags and drags on for 3 and a half hours with minimal entertainment then this is for you. If you want an epic film with these 2 actors that never lets up and never disappoints and holds up to this day, watch Michael Mann's HEAT again. At least that is a 3 hours you will feel 1000% satisfaction, instead of hardly any at all with this borefest.",4
"I can think of a few ""sequels"" that can be considered great films. Two which I can think of are Aliens and Terminator 2...but I still liked the original to those films more.

I can remember watching the Godfather for the first time. I was young, and although I liked it, it would be years until I really came to realize just how great it is. After actually seeing the Godfather II, I was amazed. An incessant battle ensued inside my soul which continues to rage today, over which is the better movie...and I have to say I generally lean towards the Godfather II. It is the only sequel to win an academy award for best picture, and rightfully so. Many consider the Godfather to be the greatest film of all time, and it's sequel is just as, if not better than its predecessor.

This film could've been broken into two movies, as a prequel to the Godfather, and as a sequel...my favorite aspect of the movie is when it shows how ""the Godfather"", portrayed by Robert De Niro came to be so powerful.",10
Just started season three and it's sliding in the political correctness garbage direction already. Still pretty good show for now. I'm sure before it's over this will be nothing more than a platform driven to hate white Americans. Let's hope not.,7
"Disappointed. Normally and big big fan of everyone in this movie. Starts strong but nothing that interesting really seems to happen. Had to keep encouraging myself to stick with it. This could have all been told in 30min. Seems like they got caught up in where they were going but someone forgot to land the plane.

Good sets, costumes, acting. CGI / make up is a little distracting from time to time.

Not award worthy.",2
Everything is perfect except color washing Do you guys really believe people's sight of beauty will be easily changing??,8

"Gave it two stars only because the acting was good, the special effects were impressive, and it had one or two funny moments. Otherwise, this incoherent, over-the-top, pretentious, and sloppily sentimental abortion would have shared space in my personal Hell with James Cameron's ""Titanic,"" as the worst cinematic experience I have ever endured. If for some reason you feel compelled to waste two hours of your life you will never get back, resist the temptation to watch this thing and hit yourself in the head with a hammer, instead. You'll get the same mind-numbing after-effect while being blissfully unconscious, rather than having to suffer through more than 2-hours of sheer dreck.",2
"Like so many others, I loved the first few episodes. Note that the rave reviews are mostly dated early in the series. Unfortunately, episodes 4-8 turned into molasses. Very, very slow with little to no advancement of the storyline. What little action comes within the last 5-10 minutes just to get you interested in the next episode. What a shame.",6

"... and I was full of hope that it would be rather like Stevie Wonder :)

Comparing Inception (2010) with The Matrix (1997) is inevitable. The same concept defines both of them - the concept of perceiving the reality (or rather ""mispercieving""). And the same flaw of choosing not precisely the right way to tell the concept, ruins the final impression - the flaw of being pretentious.

Matrix was very pretentious. It was pretentious enough to became a religion. Inception is not so. But still lacks the serious tone. I mean who the hell names the girl who builds mind labyrinths Ariadne??? It's SO OBVIOUS symbolism. And it's unnecessary - the whole concept needs realistic grounding or poetic quotation marks rather than references to mythology. Those quotations and groundings are delivered by Marion Cotillard (who is the most frightening ex I've seen in movies a long time). Her interpretation of Cobbs wife, Mal is a little treasure in that shallow chest. She makes this movie a tale about HUMANS instead of CHARACTERS. But everyone else in the team don't have that intuition.

Except her, everything is more or less pretentious. Screenplay - besides quite original concept - spoils the fun by very bad dialogs, and predictable scenes (like for example the scene of testing Ariadne by Cobb, based on the ""rule of three"" - two mistakes gives you last chance to win). Next - we have here very poor director's and screenwriter's imagination revealed in quite boring or random creation of worlds visited by our team (and I don't want those worlds to be second Pandora from Avatar (2010). I want them to be less Cameron, more Lynch.) We have here very cheap ""entertaining while learning"" directing. The ways chosen by Nolan to describe the audience rules of dreaming are like from TV show Colombo - straight forward. Like the Infinite Staircase, or bunch of scenes where someone finds the way of solving some problem, and Cobb tells that's impossible, because... in dreams it's impossible. Gee, it's like reading an article in Newsweek! And because of those big expectations and ""masterpiece"" reviews I must to say this - this movie is too boring to be a masterpiece. I felt some suspense in few scenes (with Mal mainly), but the pacing is rather ...random and - sad thing to say - in the majority f the screen time, it's a result of constant background music.

I think, that this movie should be a book in first place. Or maybe I should be like 10 years younger to be amused.",6
"Meandering nonsense about an over-the-hill actor and his stuntman best buddy. Didn't even contain the usual self-aggrandising dialogue one comes to expect from Tarantino, so it's not even like I could hate it for that.

Painfully dull and unappealing, albeit with some good performances.",2

It has got full comedy, it is a must watch show and might you get motivated and start doing what you always wanted to do.

"And Marvel Multiverse has officially gone rouge after the end of Loki season 1. Space and time has always been a subject of variable levels of complexity. However, these 6 episodes have added a new and fun twist to the genre.

Each episode expanded the universe and rules of the Time Variant Authority (except most of episode 3), while having action, drama, and comedy. The mystery surrounding TVA kept getting better and made me more curious. Ooo and in the last episode when we found out who was behind it all, which was a little bit underwhelming, the universe expanded in a groundbreaking manner and unlocked endless potential for the new phase of Marvel.

Tom Hiddleston was again phenomenal as the cunning Loki, although the character became a bit silly for the jokes. I loved the other Lokis, as each got a great personality and story of their own. However, it's even more awesome that they got something else in common besides their name.

Overall, Loki had lots of twists and turns that opened many possibilities for the future. It's an awesome adventure through the timeline. 8.5/10.",8
"As a woman, I could relate to every message and every line said in the movie. That may be the problem: verbally explaining through Baribe and Gloria's line most of the time rather than portraying what the problem is. It's like my mom giving me a lot of wonderful advice, but what changes me the most is what I see with my own eyes. To get the message crossed, 'Barbie' loses the tension of the story as time passes.

'Barbie' is upbeat, bright, and cheerful; the comedy aspect really works for adults as well. The first half is really great and engrossing, but from the part where Barbie & Gloria and Mattel people go back to Barbieland, it loses power and attractions. 'I'm Just Ken' sequence is boring, and how Barbies solve the problem is super easy and simple because it's in Barbieland. I feel even defeated how gender inequality is treated this lightly and carefreely

Soundtrack is the best quality. Billie Eilish's song at the end almost saves the film. Four-minute song captures more essence and core of 'Barbie' than the film itself.",7
"The low-key opening third of the film in which Parker's character and situation is explored and revealed is quite engaging. Maguire has a soft, laid back approach that is quite appealing. This feels like a real film with real characters. The surrounding characters are a little over-blown, but seen as a film about a real person living in a comic-book fantasy, they work well, and there is a healthy, knowing tongue-in-cheek intelligence about the film that pulls me in. But at some point in the middle when the action film section really gets going I realized that I had become bored. The film had lost the art-house feel of the opening, had become yet another Hollywood No Brainer with big action sequences, no character development, no surprises, just the usual crash scenes. It was hard to stay focused, and I wondered why and where exactly the awareness of the intelligent viewer had been dropped. Certainly Molina plays the villain with wink-wink, thigh slapping gusto, and there is enough humour and drama in the ending to make most readers forget the tedium of the the middle third. But considered as a whole the film failed for me.",4
"Idk what they are going for with this show. No action in the first 2 episodes.....very boring and uninteresting. Sorry Disney you really confused me with this one. Additionally, I am AMAZED at all it decent reviews it has. So far, this show is a snoozefest.",2
"This is possibly one of the worst films I have seen, a serous subject made almost comical. Let me see I fall in a river, don't bother swimming to the bank, yep very believable. I then get to my destination to deliver letter that did not get wet in my top pocket, my photos stayed dry too. O and on the way . I bumped into a girl and child, just to tick that movie box. Also turned up to the frontline sing along ( movie must have tick) and no one bothered to getup and chalange me",1
"It's a great movie if you like watching your favorite famous people move their hands in weird ways to shoot big red CGI orbs at each other during fight scenes. In between those parts, it's a highly convoluted time jumping/universe hopping story centered around Wandavision wanting to see her kids, who have the hilariously uncreative names of Billy and Tommy. The protagonist (who somehow feels like he has second billing to Wanda), Dr. Strange, a time-traveling British guy who is a Doctor who isn't a Doctor Who, is mostly on screen to move his hands, shoot CGI things out of his hands at people, and be sarcastic when he's not asking people questions about what he is supposed to be doing-at one point in an extremely dialogue-heavy expositional scene, he asks John Krasinski how he can get to a book he's looking for that is incredibly crucial to drive the story forward. John Krasinski reminds Strange that he made himself a huge loophole out of like, time warp magic or something that allows him to just get directly to the book, which we never saw onscreen or heard about at any point beforehand. It's just tossed in to bail out whoever wrote themselves into a corner with the screenplay. Dr. Strange is pretty much just like, ""oh yeah, that's right!"" and the movie shamelessly plows forward (it prompted a huge belly laugh from me and is far and away my favorite part of this movie).

There are a number of characters who are important parts in what we will call the story of this movie, but the character development just isn't there for us to buy into any particular motivations or desires that they may or may not express throughout the movie in regards to why they are doing what they are doing onscreen. And for the record, I'm not even referring to all of the Easter eggs and crossovers and cameos peppered in-just the mostly disposed-of side characters who for some reason are given notable significance in a number of scenes in this movie that are clearly meant to be turning points in the story, which fall a bit flat because we don't really care about the people involved. Also, Bruce Campbell is here, because Sam Raimi. If it's any testament to the screenplay and how fast and loose it plays with all of its characters, he is arguably equally as important as, say, the big giant bipedal cow/bull guy or John Krasinski in the grand scheme of this story. There's a lot going on here and to try to keep tabs on all of it is a fools errand. Sit back and let it happen to you. Watch this movie the way you watched movies when you were a little kid. Just watch the big loud fights and the bright colors. Cheer for the good guy even if you don't know why. Doesn't matter.

I can go on and on about this movie and trash it for being a really goofy screenplay and complain about nitpicky issues, but I'm not. That's not the point here. Ultimately, it's just another Marvel product like the shirts and the toys. It's made to appeal to the widest audience as possible, it's very clearly something that's made for children to watch despite some of the darker Sam Raimi horror-ish touches (most are CGI ridiculousness, some of them look really cool in brief flashes), and it succeeds in that department-it's a movie for people who do not think too much about what they're seeing and like to see big loud things happen that look really cool, of which there's a lot here.

If we want to look at what this movie is trying to do creatively with the screenplay, character choices, and storytelling, while also appealing to extremely broad, lowest common denominator blockbuster movie sensibilities, it's probably best summed up as Inception for kids. That's as complimentary as I can possibly be.",3
"What is there to say about Kung-fu Hustle, apart from it being a post-modern explosion of ideas, references and conventions? Stephen Chow in this film has taken everything we may associate with the kung-fu genre when it comes to large fight scenes and spectacular stunts and has combined it with other ideas by way of the Classical Hollywood musical; 'Americanised' kung-fu films such as The Matrix and Equilibrium; Warner Brothers cartons and has even thrown in a pinch worth of a reference to French animation for the overall narrative. Needless to say, Kung-fu Hustle is a breathless and relentless series of scenes that entertain on one level but also captivate on a more appreciative level as people jump, leap and pirouette through the air in a series of amazing stunts.

I'm sure everyone likes to go into a film with the mindset that they will get something out of the picture that they can really enjoy and go away with. Some aim higher than others; some like a lot of action, maybe a standout performance with others looking to appreciate depth-of-field or attention to mise-en-scene. In Kung-fu Hustle, it's difficult to think of anyone who might not get anything out of the film at all. Yes, Kung-fu Hustle is chock full of fight scenes and yes, some may be quick to label it something lower than it is but I think this sort of reaction is somewhat unjust. Hollywood have churned out some really appalling action films in the last couple of years; films like Bulletproof Monk and Charlie's Angles: Full Throttle – films that more resemble computer games aimed at people who play computer games than anything else. But in Kung-fu Hustle, the violence or 'action' has a certain aesthetic to it – it is like watching a dance or a ballet; it is like being in the front row of a large, grand opera with towering sets and a huge casts of extras.

One of the reasons I got this feeling is due to the music that plays during one specific scene, in which two resident kung-fu masters battle against two other hooded hit men – their weapon of choice is a string instrument that, with added power of enlightenment, can churn out fists and knifes to counteract their opponents. The music is of a classical and instrumental variety, playing during the fight thus juxtaposing any violence we might think will occur, especially when knifes and blades on the end of sticks are introduced into the arena. But the emphasis is more on the music, the sheer poetic movement of the characters and the slow motion than what weapon they're using and to distract us enough and to 'wow' us enough for us to focus on these things is an achievement in itself.

So the film puts across its violence more so as poetry or as one, large dance than a simple action scene with one side over here and one side over there accompanied by nasty rock music (Blade: Trinity, anyone?). Something else the film does during the mentioned scene is include a re-occurring joke, the hardest of all jokes to get right because it is the repetition of the gag that must remain strongest – are people going to laugh more than once at the punch line? One character's constant sapping of another to 'get out of the way' acts as a perfect topping to an already delicious scene. But the film is delicious as a whole. The film is less concerned with actors, characters and story lines and more focused on the expansion of ideas and the updating of recent Hollywood clichés.

The character of the Landlady (Yuen) is one of great strength and independence; she is also female. The fight scenes do not exist to merely entertain an attentionspan-less audience but act as a demonstration as to how this can be and should be done, in reply to the American films I mentioned. The story is straight out of the popular French Astérix comics in the sense a much larger organisation or 'gang' (The Romans, the Axe Gang) wants to rule further. To do this, they must take a much smaller area but have trouble doing so. Astérix's village and Pig Sty Alley act as this buffer, both of which house individuals with strength great enough to repel the forces of evil – the character of Sing (Chow himself) will also suffer his epiphany through learning what's right and wrong because of this.

Then there are the many references to popular culture through spoofing of Road Runner and such. I see this as Chow and China as a whole spoofing and perhaps attempting to 'ruin' pieces of popular American culture just as America cashed in post-Matrix with an invasion of horrible Hollywood action films such as Bulletproof Monk et al. Kung-fu Hustle takes back the kung-fu genre for China. The film is one about the expansion and globalisation of a lethal group but along with this it pokes fun at the expansion and Americanisation of Kung-fu as a means of disposable entertainment. Big; clever and very cinematic, Kung-fu Hustle is a winner if you're in the mood and even if you're not.",8
"This movie made me wish I was both deaf and blind. Blind, so I wouldn't have to see it, and deaf so that I wouldn't have to hear the soundtrack, which was like having nails pounded into your skull with a hammer. I will now have to plug my headphones into my iPhone and play a few Motley Crue songs just to get the sludge out of my brain. This gets 2 out of 10 only because some of the acting (and overacting) was good, so the actors get some credit here. Lots of boo-hooey scenes of astronauts crying over this and that, the soundtrack being relentlessly over-dramatic and so was everything else. This is the sort of film where you could take all the characters and blow them up with an atom bomb, and you would find yourself cheering at the end. Honestly, two hours of Beavis and Butt-Head reruns would be a vast improvement over this movie.",2
"This is one of the best shows I have watched. It concerns the dark side of technology and how it can impact our modern lives (often quite negatively). Ot has great plot, character develpment and makes you question and think about hard topics.

However, the most recent season has become very light hearted and not dark and as it used to be. Got worse like GOT. Please do not make this show something it's not.",9
"Movie was recommended by friend, who lauded it how many rewards it had gotten, so we watched this with high expectations. Despite the movie calling itself comedy there were only a few places in between that were relatively funny. And therein lies the problem, the movie was undecided which genre it wants to be, drama, comedy, horror, action? The story depends on plot twists to keep it going, some are predictable some are unexpected, and some are outright stupid. I'm talking about the finale, it just looks out of nowhere and forced so the viewers don't end up with a lackluster ending. It's a bizarre flick, but in no way great. I'd give it a slightly higher rating but there's a need for counter-balance to all the reviews overrating this movie.",5
"I had no problems with the script, the screenplay, and what not...

The problem is with the actress... Gal Gadot.. All she did was project like a model. Was she doing a fashion shoot or a catwalk? Totally different from the ""real"" Wonder Woman persona. She looked so skinny and weak for the DC-based Amazonian Goddess.

I know that she is an eye-candy; but guys, this is an action film. come on.

A better choice would have been Gina Carano, the MMA fighter who played Angel Dust in Deadpool. Or a younger version of Lucy Lawless who played Xena in the 1990s. Or anyone from the UFC/MMA women's league. They would have looked better and bad-ass at being Wonder Woman.

That's it...",4
"well i had many expectations from this movie after the jab we met blockbuster by imtiaz ali.. it doesn't fit on my expectations actually coz i expected more.. the movie is quite slow paced in the initial half.. it creates interest in the later half building up some emotions at a time and binding the entire script.. the movie is all about saif having the major role and the center of attraction .. the movie is scripted on an ordinary storyline with extraordinary direction h, hats off to imtiaz for it.. deepika is stunning as usual.. saif fits in both the characters accurately.. the songs are mind blowing 8.5 on 10 for music.. it sets the mood.. the climax is guessable but it has a certain twist.. well typical happy go ending as usual.. the song ahun ahun don't let you leave your seats in the casting as well.. so a good one time watchable movie for me..",7

"I really do love the movies.

Yesterday, I had some free time, so, of course I went to the movies. ""The Fabelmans"" is Steven Spielberg's new autobiographical movie about his childhood in Phoenix, high school in Northern California, and his lifelong passion to movies.

To really enjoy the movie, you have to surrender that is autobiographical, not to divorce it from Spielberg, and give in to the fact that he's built up a tremendous amount of goodwill with the audience for almost 50 years.

On its own, as a movie about a Jewish kid growing up loving movies, I just didn't connect to it. And I'm a Jew that's been in love with the movies from the same age as Spielberg. Two performances have been widely praised. Michelle Williams as the mother does give a very good performance, but I never really thought she went deep enough. And her calling her son ""Dolling!"" was just grating and cliched. Judd Hirsch overacts so much as Uncle Boris that he makes Al Pacino's worst ""HOO-HAH!"" moments seem subtle.

Outstanding period cinematography and production design.

It's a good movie, but nowhere near great. For a movie about growing up loving movies and going on to direct them, give me ""Cinema Paradiso.""",6
"The movie is very good if you disect it into the scenes themselves, but as a whole the puzzle doesn't offer a very engaging picture. Meaning, effects, dialogue, acting, etc. was absolutely fine, as you expect from a production on this level. And while the plot wasn't a mess, or terrible, or incoherent, it seamed unsure of what it wants to do. A huge chunk of the movie is our protagonist searching for beasts, but there is nothing interesting about it. We as viewers just stumble upon them again and again, everyone knows whats going to happen, but we have to wait a few minutes before the cycle repeats. At the end of the first half it causes the movie to drag, you're unsure what the story is going to be about, since youre 45-60mins in and there seems to be no significant plot. Later the story unravels and I thought to myself ""oh, good. They DO know what their plot is."" But once again we get interrupted by creature hunting and it completely wrecks the tension that JUST started building. I do like the creatures and understand why they wanted to sprinkle them inbetween, so that you don't just get people running around and talking. But the creature part shouldve been cut back, especially because the movie spans 130mins anyways. Little moments of creatures would have been enough, have them there as helping hands or weave them into the plot (as they sometimes did). If they really wanted to show some longer scenes with creatures, a mini-series would've been a nice vehicel for that and I'm sure the HP-Fans would eat it up happily. The movie still has enough going for it to be a quite enjoyable movie that the whole family can watch, especially some cute moments, just sad how a little tighter editing could have made it much better.",6
"Wanda and Vision live as a US sit-com family.

I enjoyed most of the series, particularly for the premise and overall idea of the show, plus I think Elizabeth Olsen has a star quality that makes her quite watchable.

The overarching narrative is a fairly slow burner and it succeeds in creating and developing great intrigue before certain episodes throw exposition at you. Personally, I found the earlier part of the series more interesting as it holds all the mystery and allows you to theorise about what is going on. Its main themes about control and coping with grief and trauma are nicely played out as the things become clearer towards the end.

There is a nice offbeat style to it, particularly as episodes unfold like a genuine sit-com and little weird moments indicating all is not right. This involves a lot of changes in tone and character from the actors and it works very well. It also has a nice self-referential humour that keeps things entertaining.

Unfortunately, there were creative decisions made with some characters that did not work for me. One antagonist who is revealed towards the latter part of the show adds no substance and the amount of visual spectacle at key moments I personally find distracts from the plot and results in an anticlimax. Also, it felt to me that, similar to some parts of The Mandalorian, there are contrivances around characters that are purely there as lead-ins for other shows.

All that being said, all that spectacle is very well done as you would expect from Marvel and everything looks incredibly good.

Most performances are great, with Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany and Tayonah Parris being particularly good. It is without a doubt Olsen's show, as she charismatically switches from comedy to drama in the blink of an eye and has an incredibly striking screen presence.

My favourite episodes were 'Don't Touch That Dial' which has some of the best humour and 'The All-New Halloween Spooktacular!' which answers some of the plot's questions in an entertaining way.

For me it's a 7.5/10 but I round upwards.",8
"Season 1 was sensational. Characters, Topic, and Execution.. just Perfect And top of it Jitu Bhaiya, just awesome.

"A good film, better than the previous one. Its time wizarding world starts expanding its base a little bit more. Though the film focused more on coming sequel, but we got the same goosebumps thing like we did when Voldemort gathered his army and separated them from weaklings and good wizards. Good CGI, average performances, good score, average plot and the theme was fantastic. Film was quite entertaining and I personally loved it. Doesn't matter what critics say about it.",7
"A typical american fake"" feel good"" film. Just destroy everything in the end, pretending it feels good, whilst sticking it to the rich guy. This film teaches you nothing, you can take away nothing from this film, just a waste of a ton of money that went into producing it. When will Hollywood stop producing these useless, complete waste of time films. All these deep conspiracy to dominate the world and the small guy winning by destroying everything. Such BS. The only reason I gave it 3 stars because I like Daniel Greg and Ed Norton. What was the point of this film is still a mystery to me unless it was just to show they can spend money on BS.",3
"NetFlix's ""Lost In Space"" continues to be a surprisingly compelling show. The music and specific effects are excellent-- loved those dinosaurs. All of the action revolves of course around the Robinson family. and their commitment to each other. Anything is possible if they all work together. This season corrects one of the big issues from last time around. Dr Smith in season 1 was a generally unlikeable character. I'm happy to report they have humanized her (thanks to the help of some flashbacks and her (sorta) helping the Robinsons). The show is a bit slow at times but the positive far out weights the negative. If you're looking for a feel good family adventure with some heavy scifi thrown in, check out ""Lost In Space"". I'm not sure if there will a season 3. If so, my only request is that they give Debbie The Chicken more screen time. We need more Debbie!.",9
"It has some redeeming qualities. Ryan Reynolds doing his normal shtick (Deadpool, anyone?), and it has some entertaining action scenes, but the characters aren't properly developed, and the disjointed nature of the movie makes it tough to follow at times.

I would call it disappointing, but not the worst thing you could watch on a Friday night. If I had paid $20 for it on Apple TV, I'd be pretty annoyed. As part of a Netflix subscription, it's okay.",5
"This movie is an entertaining satire. The cast is mostly top-shelf and the movie doesn't take itself too seriously, which is why I'm willing to forgive the completely predictable mistery.

Daniel Craig reprises his role as the detective but this time around it's just not a serious affair anymore. The plot is way over the top. Characters are pushed to the extreme with their back story and it even features some low sci-fi elements.

The whole movie feels like a Fast and Furious of mistery. You can just turn your brain off and enjoy the ride. It may not be Agatha Christie but it's a fun past time.",6
The movie is yet again a great work from Chris Hemsworth. The storyline is a bit predictable but other than that... the locations. The stunts . The scenes are very well set. The close hand combat is the icing to the cake.,7
"A lot slower paced than the others, which isn't a flaw. The acting and action is great. It is good to see some change within the characters but it felt like just another setup movie that leads into the big finale.",8
"I must have missed something fundamentally riveting about this film, or, the film is mostly the same as any other Mission Impossible film - Bike chases, car chases, aerial chases - it's all there and as good or as cheesy as the previous films. The story, however, did not hold my interest. Simply put, it's about thwarting a terrorist attack by double crossing double agents. Seen that before? The issue isn't just the tired old save-the-world generic script but the heavy onus on Tom Cruise to hoist and thus save the film from mediocrity; which he does single-handedly. But it isn't enough. The action choreography, though thrilling, has all been done before. Not only in previous films of this franchise, but the same as in the Die Hard and Bond films. If John McClane can take down a helicopter with a car and James Bond can take out a motorcade with a plane, then guess what? So can Ethan Hunt. But if these are standard expectations in superspy films, then there should also be a super villain we all love to hate. How good was Philip Seymour Hoffman in MI3? In this film, the villain, who turns out to be a double agent (SURPRISE!) is an embarrassment to the entire cinematic world of villains. But I like how he ended up resembling Two-face from the DC comics (so much for being a double agent...two face, get it?).

So if I recommend this film, it would only be for Tom Cruise and his infectious energy in every scene, with one in particular revealing Ethen Hunt has a heart of gold. As Maveric, Ron Kovic, Cole Trickle, Lt. Kaffee, Lestat, Jerry Maguir, Les Grossman, Tom Cruise has immense versatility matched only by his onscreen magnetism. At 56 he's still got it and probably the only reason ""Mission Impossible - Fallout"" is watchable. That said, the second biggest disappointment (after the wooden villain) is the lack of any real mission that is seemingly impossible to pull off. Part of what made the earlier films thrilling was just that: the hi-tech heist. From dangling upside down to steal a microchip in the first film to actually holding his breath for six minutes underwater in ""Rogue Nation"" (to steal another computer chip), doing the impossible was one of the highlights of those films. None of that here and no hi-tech gizmos either. Instead, new director Christopher McQuarrie (who previously wrote the brilliant ""The Usual Suspects"" and ""Edge of Tomorrow"") settles for oomph over an actual story that lets us care about any of the characters. Even the whimsical team camaraderie we loved about the previous films are missing here with Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg taking a back seat (and Jeremy Renner nowhere to be seen). Driven by its strong action formula, ""Fallout"" will entertain the masses, but memories of which will self-destruct in less than five months. If that sounds corny, wait till you see the last thirty minutes...or the longest 15 minutes in cinema to diffuse a nuclear bomb.",6
"The spineless Micheal Bluth gets fooled over and over by his mentally and socially ""challenged"" family members. And all is justified with this ""family comes first"" bs all the time. It has its funny moments and a few nice twists, but the characters are implausible, embarrassing and pathetic and the script is plain stupid. Every character is exaggerated in a way it's not funny anymore, but mostly annoying, except Micheal, Lindsay, Maeybe and perhaps Buster. But this back and forth with Micheal gets boring after 5 seasons. And none of the character develops. And Micheal still hasn't grown some b...ls after 5 seasons.

"Maniratnam is considered one of the top directors in India. His films are money spinners. He is a clever manipulator. None of his films have originality. He cleverly adopts the story lines, scenes, even lighting and shot angles from numerous hits outside India. He may be the big box office hit giver to the film Industry in India. But he lacks honesty in film making. Guru is a pathetic attempt to palgarise the Hollywood film Aviator. It reminds you of even Citzen Kane or .. the list goes on. Through Guru's protogonist Maniratnam tries to insist that ends justify the means. The film can be seen for the excellent cinematography of Rajiv Menon. Otherwise it is a film as always with Maniratnam's other films ,pretends to deal with social and intellectual issues and fails. Maniratnam is a clever technician but not a maker of good, original cinema.",4
"This must be the longest film I've ever viewed that never captured my interest and that seemed to go nowhere.

Fortunately, I've developed a technique for screening/filtering so called blockbusters without having to sit through them before determining whether or not they're worth watching.

I get the DVD, avi or whatever and play it in the background while I go on with my daily routine (making lunch, viewing my email, etc.). If it cannot compete with the mundane activities in my life, it suggests that my boring life is more interesting than the film.

It works like a dream. Needless to say, I don't often get much done in my day, but TWBB gave me an opportunity to catch up on things. Sadly, it wasn't even as engrossing as the news.",4
"""A Most Violent Year"" is the type of movie that doesn't get made much anymore. J. C. Chandor's film noir, set in 1982, has been favorably compared to Sidney Lumet's work, and that comparison is apt. Oscar Isaac plays Abel Morales, the owner of a fuel company in New York. He's in the middle of negotiating the purchase of a new facility. Unfortunately for him, his company is being investigated for multiple legal offenses. Worst of all, his trucks keep getting hijacked, which is costing him hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Instead of a typical plot, the film mostly just follows Abel as his life spirals out of control and his world crumbles around him. It's a pretty stressful film, and Isaac is terrific as a man under intense pressure. The pacing is slow, but the film is not dull or boring. It is certainly more character-driven than action-oriented. It does have quite a bit of tension. The cinematography is gray and icy, and Alex Ebert's score is mournful. It's a good movie. Not a great movie, but certainly. Worth a watch if you can handle a slower pace.",7
"My tittle summarizes the essence of my review. Season one, hysterical anecdotes, mockery of time travel stories, the Janitor found by the video game for which he is obssessed. Just entertaining.

Just another shooter movie. Fun to watch sure. Fast and furious meets John Wick. Worth watching more than once? No. Worth watching once? Yes for shoot shoot bang bang if you like that. It tries to have substance in the form of a morally sound...mercenary. Those two things can't really coincide together. There is a lot of things wrong with it to many to not pick go in with low expectations and it's a fun watch.,6
"I watched ""Once Upon A Time"" lastnight and I must say it wasnt quite what I expected. This is the newest(9th) film from Tarantino, tho when I look into his pedigree of work I see he has directed more than 9 feature films...so idk why they say it's his 9th.. But nonetheless, ""Once Upon A Time"" is not a good movie. It is a dumb movie and besides the Manson aspect, this film has absolutely no story. At all. Like honestly if there was going to be a film made with one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood wouldn't you think there would be a few more entertaining bits? I am a severe film critic and fan and am very generous and open minded when watching films. I don't care what reviews say; I make up my own mind. I watch b films, indie films, cinematic films, and Hollywood epics. I must say that the indie horror film made on a $100,000 that I watched the night before was better than this trash. I call it trash, however, I will say this was my favorite depiction of the Manson Cult on film yet. I really liked the movie ""Charlie Says"" and although as a whole that is a better movie, I still think ""Once Upon A Time"" portrays the cult in a scarier, more frightening way. This leads me to my main issue.... This movie should have been a close examination of the events from the surrounding days of the Tate murders. Yes, that has been done several times and in my opinion, done well, but I think this would have been the best depiction of the events YET and still kind of IS even for how little it showed. Basically it's a huuuge opportunity missed on Tarantino's part. Again, the Manson scenes were by far the most entertaining and even tense but there was too little of them. Right when I eased into the serious tension and started to feel a smile slide up my face the scene was over.. Too bad. The first hour could be completely cut from the movie as it feels pointless and a waste. Leo didn't do such a good acting job and it's safe to say this is his worst film in awhile. He took a serious salary cut for this film and it shows in his on screen passion. Brad Pitt did a good job even tho at times he felt wooden. I think that was just his character but idk why Tarantino would write him that way. One of the biggest faults of the film is the way it is formatted and executed. It feels like a series of vignettes all tied together. It does have that Tarantino feel to it but just barely. This is definitely Tarantino's most different film. His alien if you will. Again, this movie should have been a crime/thriller about the Manson murders and the story of Sharon Tate. NOT a movie about a dull and boring fading movie and TV actor who sucks at his job now. Overall it's a big pointless mess of a film and the praise startles me. It's clear the hype is all due to the director behind it but believe it or not, even the greats aren't perfect. Even Michael Jordan had off games",6

"Fantastic original idea that should of been a movie. This show is painful to watch because at times because of it. They stretch out the just dialogue scenes to fill a episode. Acting is great except for the huey guy is terrible but I understand why they cast him as he is the perfect example of the 20 something nerdy white male target audience they are going for. It's obviously not shot in New York. Literally first shot of the series you can tell by the lighting, street poles, people, traffic, skyline that its Toronto. The cgi is just too much, even some simple room shots they added glossy furniture. I just think this story would of come across a lot more powerful if it was a movie instead of a TV show. They could of focused on continuity, practical effects and actually shot in New York, something to be proud of. Unfortunately they went with ""keep them watching"" instead to put a couple more bucks in Mr.Bezos pocket.",1
"Well, English is not my first language so I'll try my best here.

With the complete deconstruction of the concept of ""Barbie"", Gerwig subverted every stereotype you've associated with this ""not-so-feminist"" toy. She took an innovative approach to story-telling, struck a balance between flamboyant shots and down-to-earth narrative. Behind every joke there is a harsh reality. It's light-hearted yet solemn, comprehensible yet arduous, optimistic yet depressing. For I know this world is not gonna be as acceptable as the movie wants it to be. Just look at these 1/10 reviews here. I hope Gerwig will make more movies like Barbie because I need it, we need it.",10
"This movie dosen't make much sense if you know how the computer code works. Plus as usual they added some stupid dialogues for no reason. Like the Guy telling the girl that you can do better and you don't need to be with men became most of the men are awefull anyway. Like really?

If you are gamer, you can't relate with it much. If you are programmer, you can't relate it with it as well. Not sure for whom this movie was made.",3
"Love aaj kal is a story of a 'practical couple' who mutually decide to break up due to their career ambitions. In an amicable break up they throw a party to celebrate their separation. However they keep in touch and eventually realise they cannot let go of the other person. Simultaneously running is the story of a much previous generation and their love story. In this case, love came first, then came ambition. The contrasting notions of love between the two generations reminds us what we are missing out in this quest of proffessionalism and individuality. On the whole it is a very funny movie with even the serious scenes making you laugh. My friends and I fell in love with the 1965 love story of Veer and Harleen. Imtiaz Ali directed the yesteryears in a superbly manner and Saif Ali Khan looked, acted and completely became a very attractive younger version of Rishi Kapoor. It was the best romance I have seen in years. Harleen played by a new comer, (whose real name is missing from every website for some reason) takes you back to the innocent days where girls had a straight parting and a long braid and wore full sleeved simple clothes. I absolutely loved her, and she looked like a million dollars in her simple attire. On the other hand, Saif Ali Khan as a young hip Jai was someone we have seen before in Hum Tum, Kal ho na ho and Salaam Namaste. However because the man never ages he looks good doing it! Deepika Padukone looked like a giant in most of the scenes. Moreover her make-up was average. Her strong Hindi accent is a little putting off because she ruins funny dialogues with it. If I had to change one thing about this movie, it would be Deepika Padukone. She seemed too young and awkward. However with such a good script, great songs and direction everyones flaws are well hidden and what you come back home is wanting a little more of each of the love stories because you want to know ""what happened next??!!??!?!""",7
Movie lacks logic. They literally killed more than hundred people to save one kid. The story was not good.,6
"Both seasons are really good , i enjoyed the second one more though.

Characters and story is very well written. Lead trio is so good, as well the secondary characters.

Comedy and thriller is very well balanced in both seasons.

Really excited for next season. Show keeps you on the edge till finale episode in both seasons.

I also liked the story telling in every episodes feels so fresh .

Do watch it whenever you get chance, episodes are not that much long, so it feels convenient too .

Steve and martin sir with Selena is team to watch out for. I don't want to spoil the show , go watch it and judge it yourself.",10
"You know it's more than just the Saiyan and Namek stuff, right? The Android Saga, the Cell Saga, the Great Saiyaman Saga, and the Majin Buu Saga are all still things. None are great. Yeah there's some cool Gohan stuff in the Cell saga but it's not enough to make it good. You also can't keep raising the stakes after you just set the stakes at THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE in the namek saga, everything after feels forced or ridiculous. The ability to be revived lessons the stakes and is a cheap cop-out. Some of the most annoying character in any anime (Hercule, Chi-chi, Videl, Goku, Yamcha). There are a few complex characters, like Vegeta, Gohan, and Piccolo, but they lose some or all of their complexity as the series goes on. Goku is a boring protagonist because he's all ""pure and perfect"". There is very little world-building. And... It's not that deep, it's really just fighting as some point. It's the non-anime fan's favorite anime.",4
"3 episodes in and I am finding this to be an awesome remake of the original. It feels like Lost mixed with Lost in Space. The flash backs are a great touch and the robot is the best. Parker Posey playing Doctor Smith is creepy, yet fantastic. Good job Netflix.",8
"The latest adaptation in The Conjuring franchise and latest spinoff and sequel to Annabelle, is by far one of the most unoriginal films in the series. The film is by no means horrible, it isn't even necessarily bad, but it certainly feels lazy. Suspenseful moments are traded off for cheap scares, easter eggs, or rash plot devices that will matter for such little time or such a little point you will wonder why they are there in the first place. That being said, the film is, as all Conjuring films technically are, 'based on a true story,' so it's hard to truly judge the elements that make up the film itself, but the way it executes these elements is truly its biggest fault. With all of that, some cliche character moments, and the somewhat slow pacing of the film in general, the film does luckily have some things to offer. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, as small as their part may be, do shine as their returning respected characters Ed and Lorraine Warren. The overall look of the film, besides some quite obvious and rather sheepish looking CGI, is also rather fantastic. The overall acting of the film is also quite good, even if the characters themselves don't exactly prove to be rather interesting, but despite the films character problems, every actor truly tries to give it their all. The film also wraps together on a surprisingly sweet note, and is, dare I say this about a Conjuring movie, quite touching. In the end, Annabelle: Comes Home does prove at times to be a bit of a crowded mess with issues to spare. But what it lacks in terms of general qualities, it shines on what makes it most enjoyable. It may not be the scariest entry in the franchise, but it is certainly not the worst. Take that as you may. My Rating: 6/10",6
"Is this from the Conjuring universe ? Because it looks a lot like something else. I don't know, it was so weak and predictable that made me almost quit at some point.",4
"'Interstellar' is a three hour movie marathon that contains too few redeeming features to make it worth your time. Going into this movie, everybody would have expected an extremely well made, visually beautiful spectacle, and that's what you get. However, everything else about the film is a disappointment.

Sitting staring at a screen for three hours is no fun, unless of course you're watching something entertaining enough to take your mind off it. Throughout 'Interstellar', I found my mind wandering, and I must admit to feeling a sense of relief when the whole thing was over. The film just isn't sufficiently interesting to justify such a long running time.

Whilst visually impressive, 'Interstellar' is void of fun. In fact it's void of anything that will make you change your expression. This is just one long, pretentious and self-important film that isn't anywhere near as good as the ratings suggest.",6
"Every good action thriller has a great car chase but when the opening car chase exceeds 20 minutes, then it's not a thriller but a cartoon.

This movie's action is just in your face all the time. It's meaningless CGI. The cast is annoying. The humour is annoying. Just utter garbage all around.

Innocent people are killed and it's just considered a joke. The CGI is over the top. I was half expecting the cars to take off and go into outer space.

Avoid if you're after a movie with at least some substance. Or better still, just watch a bunch of cartoons.",1
"There seems to be an expectation for films to be groundbreaking, fresh with life changing storytelling these days. It's really not necessary for all films. This was great fun to watch. I found it hilarious, Ryan does what Ryan does which I enjoy. Yes there was a lot going on but it's not a confusing film at all, it's very simple and easy to understand with great action scenes. Definitely something I'd watch again and I'd even like a second one. Negative reviewers need to just relax and stop taking everything so seriously.",7
"Many seems to think the show a joke or expect something that it's not. It's not the traditional Marvel show, if you expected that then go watch something else Marvel, there is plenty to pick from.

I think the show SO FAR hits what it should with nailing the sitcom aspect and the origin story for the show.

That said, I will wait to judge the series fully before I seen the whole thing but people are way to fast to jump to conclusion.",8
"This show is sooo good, especially season 2. You can't stop watching, it's so good. Season 1 is very good. But season 2 is perfect. A very thoughtfully executed production. This show draws you into the world of the witcher...as it should.",9
"I don't understand those Oscars.

Chaotic action , and I get distracted , The film cannot hold me in its plot. Jamie Lee Curtis is good in the role and entertaining, but without significant action.

I don't understand this movie I love science fiction, but it has to make sense.

One must be able to relate to something.

The 3 stars are to be able to keep hope for a good film.

And acting, which means that this film does not fall completely through.

A technically good film.

The entertainment value is low. I take nothing away from this movie but bewilderment and wasted time.

If you're looking for scifi that makes sense, look elsewhere.",3
"I've been a Marvel fan for years, ever since I was able to hold a comic book I was fascinated by the notion of super powers.

Now of course, I know they're not real, but I still look forward to new releases in the theater and also take in reruns on TV when I can.

But this? Who ever thought it up should not ever be the ""go to"" person for new ideas. The entire notion of a 'Bewitched meets I Love Lucy meets Dick Van Dyke' borders on insanity. Maybe if we all hadn't see the two leads in multiple movies would've made the idea fresher, but it's too late.

Save the 30 minutes for something more interesting like watching plants grow in your garden or see how long it takes for a teaspoon of water to evaporate. At least then you'd be more entertained than this colossal flop IMO.",1
"Hey guys!! D'you remember that one classic Simpsons episode where the school has a diorama contest, and Ralph Wiggum just lazily brings in a box of unopened Star Wars figure? And Principal Skinner thinks it's a FANTASTIC diorama, because he LOVES Star Wars, and Ralph included Chewy, and Han Solo, and those are Skinner's favourite characters?!?

Well, Steven Spielberg is Ralph Wiggum, and everyone who gave this movie an 8 or 9 or 10/10, are Seymor Skinner, thinking that lazy references to pre-existing pop culture (even references to pre-existing, GENUINELY GOOD pop culture), are somehow skillfull, or artistic...

Spielberg is no doubt a skilled film-maker, and in his prime, from the 70s to early 90s, he honestly tops my 'Best Directors' list- Jaws, Raiders, Empire of the Sun, Duel, Jurassic Park, and CE3 are all goddam incredible... But seriously, how hard is it to list off a bunch of movies and games that are near-universally loved, and use that to fill out your movie's run-time, in order to try to farm all that goodwill-by-proxy?

(And ESPECIALLY when you're super-rich, and can afford to license the use of all these properties, that are off-limits for most, non-squilllionaire film-makers...)

It's the movie version of the kid who thinks that having all the toys and merch from the movies that everyone loves, is a valid substitute for actual personality traits, and being a decent human being.

To give RP1 a fair assessment, you need to look at EVERYTHING BUT the endless barrage of rented nostalgia for pre-existing pop culture; You need to strip away all the references, and look at the ACTUAL STORY, that's (supposedly) unique to THIS movie... and what you're left with, is a pretty unremarkable 2018 movie- Not terrible, but certainly not great, either; Another ""epic adventure"" that relies way too much on slick, latest-greatest digital FX that will age like milk, a plucky, #relatable hero who make snappy quips while facing insurmountable odds (which we all know, even before pressing 'play', that he WILL surmount, in the nick of time...), and a one-dimensional, evil, corporate villain.

But ironically, while the wall-to-wall pop culture references are certainly the most memorable aspect of the movie, I honestly think it would be better as a movie (but still pretty middling) without all that...

...but it would also be faaaaaaaaar less financially successful, because most people are goddam morons, and have this braindead, reflexive, pavlovian response, where they genuinely can't tell the difference between ""seeing a reference to something I like"", vs ""actually liking the media, that the reference was made in...""

Someone who genuinely respected all the movies and games, referenced in this film, wouldn't just try to milk them all dry, and exploit them for cheap, lazy nostalgia, the way this movie does; A sly, well-placed reference here and there, often CAN add to a movie... but 37,825 sledgehammer-subtle references, once every 17 seconds, 99% of which are just copy-pasting the most widely-known,obvious images from the property, is NOT the same thing, and almost always adds no real substance, whatsoever.",2
"Only Cavill is trying and others are not. Shoot out to the writers for wasting a highly potential series such as this. The script though fine, was poorly executed by the directors. They should've sat down and came up with a plan before going forward.",3
"The series is generally beautiful, with all episodes disconnected you can watch what you want a little while skipping the episodes you don't like. In most of the series the tension is very high and the episodes are brilliant. There is some flaw that compromises the series a little but in general it is really nice.",8
"Why send an airplane, or a pigeon to send a message, when you can send a soldier on a 2-day checklist of adventures, with sequence of even that even an entire company of men couldn't realistically encounter during an entire war. After all, Mendes an action-hero movie to shoot

I rest my case.",3
"I come never to expect much from comic movies or superhero movies or superhero comic movies or whatever they are called ? However this was a superbly entertaining, brilliantly acted film. However it must be said that the story lacked a little, nothing much seemed to happen it was mostly just the joker killing people and threatening to do so.

The story has the same theme as most batman movie in my opinion which is why this movie cannot be labelled a classic and also why the hype has blown this one out of proportion. In my opinion BATMAN is the best batman film ever as it had a sense of comic book about it and was not to serious. I am not sure if a movie about a grown man dressed in a bat suit should be made the way BEGINS and THE DARK KNIGHT were made, but then again they had to do something after the car crash that was BATMAN AND ROBIN.

Now on to why exactly it has become such a big movie and as i write this is sitting at no 3 on the IMDb's top 250, having been no 1 for some time before that. For me it is because of MR Heath Ledger. He is simply outstanding in this film and with out him it is unlikely the same amount of success would have followed. I do however believe there is a certain factor of his death that is lifting this movie to heights it would never have reached but that does not change how good he is in this film.

The dark knight just simply is not as good as many people are saying it is in my opinion and i think the 10 out of 10 button is used before thinking these days as I personally would never give a film 10 unless it blew me away and I'm sure many people give ten's out a lot.

7 out of 10",6
"I've never seen a series of reviews with such babies seeking instant gratification. Waaa waaa waaa! I want it right now! Me me! Just wait, small ones. This series is going to some surreal and scary places and you will be happy. Quit jumping around in the back seat and put on your seat belts. It's a bit of a drive to the amusement park but we will get there. And I promise there will be fun rides and ice cream. And maybe some monsters.",9
"I was so pumped for this but at the start of the movie I couldn't get the characters ages right. You have Pesci, who is 76, playing a character who is what age? One scene had De Niro playing a soldier in WW2. It looked freaky wrong, just like something from a horror film. I half expected to see Ray Liotta play an early teenage kid in this movie. I love Goodfellas, Casino and the like but it's as if they are trying to do one more but the actors got too old for their parts. Scorcese, De Niro, Pesci one more time? Didn't work for me, the actors/characters just didn't look right.",5
"Good film. 'Interstellar' carries you along for a ride, and yes the special effects are great, and yes, it might give us pause to think what will, in fact, be the destiny of our species. And, like 'Gravity' before it, the search for a happy ending has totally destroyed any shred of credibility of what might have gone before. The image of Cooper floating around Saturn without his spaceship, waiting to be picked up by a passing probe (just before his oxygen runs out, of course) is so ridiculous that if Stanley Kubrick were to be told that it is a respectful reference to the 'starchild' at the end of '2001', he'd punch you in the nose. 'Interstellar' - for all of its attempts to incorporate relativistic time dilation and very clever (I do not use that word in a derogatory sense) visual representation of multi-dimensional string theory towards the end, is void of any real cultural insight. Great films tell us something memorable about the human condition, or the nature of cinema itself. This film, for all its quotes from Dylan Thomas does neither. It is for people who think that the word 'awesome' has some profound meaning and not, as is the case, an excuse for not finding a more appropriate and restrained reaction.",7
Acting of of dhairya was brilliant and dialogue of Sandeep was brilliant.,8
"Season 1 was a joy to watch but it looks like Steve Martin caved in to the woke mob for season 2. What was the point of throwing Selena Gomez into a lesbian love story other than to show, as Martin Short so nicely explained it, that bisexuality is a very progressive mindset nowadays? I waited until the entire series was over just to see if there was a point to it other than proving your woke street creds, and there wasn't. There was a love story in season 1 that actually added to the plot but this was nothing more than a bone tossed in to keep the baying woke hounds at bay. If the series needed filler there would have been far more interesting plot twists to pass the time. Steve, you let us down.",5
"Like many other reviews for this movie say, the editing is without a doubt its biggest flaw, truly terrible and erratic cuts. But the film also suffers from mind numbing continuity errors and a muddled story that doesn't quite know what direction it's heading in. It's hard to believe so many errors can be found in such a big budget movie, makes you wonder if it was done on purpose to get people talking...",2
"It's a typical action, action, action movie. To me that means that the movie is just a collection of action sequences, without must thought given on how to get from one action sequence to the next.

The good part of this movie is that the glue holding the action sequences together is fairly well done. They use a lot of humor, which is why some people have enjoyed the movie. And some of the cast are 'characters'. You know - interesting beings.

The downside is that 20-30% of the action sequences are fluff. Totally unnecessary to the story. At one point I leaned back, and considered how I could while away the time until the current action sequence was over. IE it was boring. Zoom, zoom, bang, bang. Seen it.

Another part that I disliked was all the time that went into setting up for the sequel. Leaving some loose ends is one thing, but this could have just as easily been called ""Part 1"".",4
"There were certain seasons of 24 that were not good, but the whole series was excellent! I was very surprised that people would give this show 1/10 as this is one of the best shows ever made for TV. I randomly rented 24 and finished the first season within 24 hours. I remember not studying for finals because I wanted to finish so badly. Hooked on the first season, I rented season 2...and got even more addicted. Season 2 was even better than one. I was always looking forward to what Jack Bauer will do next. He's a super smart and competent agent. And like Cranston in Breaking Bad, Sutherland was irreplaceable as the main protagonist. I have yet to see season 8, but my favorites were seasons were 1,2, 5, and 7. They were spectacular. Seasons 3, 4 and 6 were just okay, in my opinion. Overall, 24 is a great show...watch it, if you can (only when you have no exams or deadlines of any kind). Every episode feels like a good movie. You will not be disappointed.",10
"Pretty good movie with a short and bad ending. That sums up the film quite well. Thought the end was very short and unfortunately quite bad. The only thing that makes this movie even worth seeing is that there is a small connection to Spiderman NWH. But it was also done pretty badly because he was only in for a few minutes by NWH. To sum up, the film is perfectly okay. Some parts are pretty good, while the vast majority are pretty bad.",7
"Season 1 was very good. Season 2 started off not great and got progressively worse as it went on. Season 3 is a disaster. S3 E1 was like an SNL skit with the ""Dear Friend"" letters. And the scenes and dialogue just repeated through the entire episode. It was like watching a soap opera. The writing is abysmal. It was like they couldn't think of dialogue, or story, to fill an entire hour so just rehashed the same thing over and over until the episode was mercifully over. They have written in way too much silliness and (attempted) comedic dialog. The whole production is just amateurish and embarrassing. Of course they had to write in the now requisite focus on sexuality. Par for the course with all the streaming services in-house shows these days. The bard guy was no hint of gay the first two seasons and now he is in S3? Okaaaay...It makes no sense. I made it through to E3 but fell asleep off and on watching it. After the horrid and unwatchable E3, and E1 and 2 being equally horrid, I exited out and removed it from my watch list. Another show with great potential goes down the toilet.",1
"I have been watching Avatar The Last Airbender ever since pilot was released on nickelodeon. At that time Nick was at its prime and I was so into the Avatar series. It was the buzz at school like: ""Holy crap did you see what happened on the last Avatar episode?"" Even now in high school it is still popular. Now that I have nicktoons I see that Avatar gets their own hour block. Even though I have seen every episode at least 4 times, THIS IS ONE SHOW THAT YOU WILL NEVER GET TIRED OF WATCHING. I even caught my parents watching it from behind me when I was watching it, and it takes a lot for them to watch a cartoon. The action scenes are simply amazing especially for a nicktoon(nick anime?), and I am so excited for the next saga Avatar: The Legend of Korra.",10
"I was so disappointed that this was awarded as 'best picture'! I agree with some other reviewers who did not like the movie. I have similar view with them.

When I chose this movie, 5 star from a review was an important factor. And it said this i not a typical romantic comedy was a convincing factor to bring our son to the theater for family time.

Plus the line ""Asian Invasion"" - I couldn't believe that I heard it! I didn't ask my family whether I heard it wrong as I did not want to bring up race issues and spoil our family time.

Anyway, I found that I heard right on internet. The ""Asian Invasion"" line was already discussed.

It is really shame that this movie got 'Best Picture'.",3
"This sequel to Venom falls somewhat short compared to the previous movie. Tom Hardy, the humor and the special effects really stand out. Carnage's design was somewhat amazing for resembling that of the comics and giving him a rather scary appearance. Both Venom and Carnage desings are the best thing of the movie. The script leaves something to be desired as it feels rather simple and weak. There isn't much action, but the final battle between Venom and Carnage is enjoyable and very exciting. At the end it is an entertaining movie, but only that is what it is. My final rating for this movie is 8/10.",8
"Season 1: This quirky season of The Umbrella Academy unfortunately isn't too gripping or exciting, but it's a fairly watchable series. There's also no doubt that sci-fi fans will adore the quirky characters and awesome music-packed action. This Netflix series deserves a thumbs up, although it could be faster.

"This was literally the worst most hopeless most overhyped most disappointing show in the history of the world. The acting is third class, the plot is clueless, the direction in all senses is a disaster. Million times better to just watch reruns of GOT or Friends or just the corner of your kitchen than to watch this masterful catastrophe of a series.

After all the looking forward to it and all the high expectations, this was the biggest come down of it all. Recommend the director to find a new profession and for the actors to go to the corner of their kitchen and hang their head in utter and abject shame.",1

"I simply didn't enjoy watching this film. However, I did appreciate the effort that went into harking back to a bygone age. Everything in this regard was classic Tarantino and many people need to be reminded that he was a slightly obsessive film fan and that is what made his earlier work stand out in the first place.

Brilliant as all that is... The film seems like a slap in the face to the consumer as Tarantino himself is essentially type cast and consumers have certain expectations. It is great to see him show his true directorial chops and knowledge, but the product advertised to me was simply not what I ended up watching. That said, this could be a real turning point and we may witness Tarantino transform ala Roman Polanski, who I assume was put in place as a side character for some such link. I could be wrong though.

Watch this if you want a cinematic journey and can appreciate what Tarantino is trying to convey, but don't expect old school Tarantino.",6
Excellent series TVF always rocks ....an energetic and a series with positive approach and encourages us all to just get out of our comfort zones.,9
I have no idea what the heck happened to the writers of this show. The first season of the show was one of the best shows i have ever seen whereas the second season is THE worst season ever.,1
Just finished watching the Queen's Gambit and I am just so impressed! What a great mini-series!,8
This is possibly the worst movie/series I have ever seen. It is littered with nonsensical scenes that lend nothing to the plot. The scenes are so disjointed and confusing that they make you want to discontinue watching. It is hard to imagine what the wwriters of this series were actually trying to convey.,1
"I love weird movies. I love sci-fi movies. I love kung-fu movies. I love action movies. I love comedies. True to its name, Everything Everywhere All at Once tries to be all these things, and more. It fails in most everything.

There are some positive things, but it is a short list. The basic idea and the message the movie tries to impart are potentially interesting (but the movie fails completely in conveying them, to such an extent that it has to literally try to spell them out at the end). Michelle Yeoh and Jamie Lee Curtis give their all despite the relentless nonsense they are put through. Cinematography is rather good. Fight choreographies are decent.

Everything else is just missing. There is no comprehensible plot. Michelle Yeoh's character is the only one who even tries to be anything more than a comic book caricature, and the superhuman abilities make even her totally unrelatable. Pacing is abysmal. There is nothing original nor funny in the movie. It steals ideas from a multitude of sources (like The Matrix, Marvel universe, Hong Kong kung-fu movies, animes) with an utter lack of vision on how to put any of them into good use, and adds ""comedy"" via elementary-school-yard-funny level completely random stuff (like butt plugs, hot dog fingers and googly eyes).

I love ice cream. I love sushi. I love pizza. I love Chinese food. I love hamburgers. There is artistry in creating delicious combinations from unexpected ingredients. But if you just blindly toss every possible ingredient you can think of into a blender, you get unsavoury, inedible mess. Tossing nonpareils on top does not help, nor does supersizing the deplorable sludge. That is what Everything Everywhere All at Once is.",2
"Such a shame, but it seems that hollywood stopped making decent movies in 2005 or so.. :( The premise for this movie was decent, hostage rescue, set it in india.. that could have been original.. but then they turn it into a 'invincible soldier runs about killing thousands of masked bad guys' piece of nonsense. And what's worse, they try and make it into somekind of emotional journey... Such a disappointment, really actors like chris helmsworth? need to stop chasing the netflix paycheck and be more picky about the types of movies they accept. For sure netflix might pay well just now, but if he makes another one of these turkeys he'll soon find himself stuck in b-movie limbo. Di caprio is the only actor I can think of who isn't chasing netflix cash and is protecting his name... Anyway, I'm gonna rewatch 'proof of life' a proper hostage rescue movie.",2
"Anurag Kashyap's 'Gangs of Wasseypur' is An Interesting Film with Terrific Performances! Kashyap, known for off-beat films, this time attempts to deliver a story that can be termed as his most ""commercial"" flick to date. And even though this 1st installment isn't flawless, its absorbing & supremely acted nevertheless.

'Gangs of Wasseypur' Synopsis: A son seeks vengeance when his father is killed by a coal mine owner.

'Gangs of Wasseypur' is violent, abusive & fearless. Kashyap delivers a revenge story, that literally has shock value. 'Gangs of Wasseypur' runs for a long 160-minutes, but manages to arrest its viewer attention on several occasions.

Kashyap's Screenplay begins tepidly, but picks up rapidly. The Second-Hour, in particular, is absorbing & memorable. Kashyap's Direction is Masterclass. Cinematography is rustic. Editing is sharp. Music by Sneha Khanwalkar is excellent.

Performance-Wise: The Ever-Terrific Manoj Bajpai is marvelous yet again. As Sardar Khan, The National-Award-Winning Actor pitches in an unforgettable turn, that's sure to be remembered for a long time. Director-Turned-Actor Tigmanshu Dhulia is fantastic. He's menacing to the core! Piyush Mishra is natural, while Richa Chadda & Reemma Sen are very good. Jaideep Ahlawat is terrific in a brief role. Pankaj Tripathi is simply outstanding. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is perfect, yet again. Vipin Sharma is efficient. Huma Qureshi is first-rate. Others lend support.

On the whole, 'Gangs of Wasseypur' is worth a watch.",7

"This is an old movie, and I'm an old guy. I was checking out the top 250 for movies I had not yet seen, and Taxi Driver was on my list. Give the high rating, I expected a fantastic movie. What I received instead was a major snooze fest through which I struggled to stay awake for the majority of the film. It is dark and grit, but I guess I was expecting something more than never materialized. The best part of the film was the last five minutes. In fact, I think this film could be reduced to a thirty minute show and have greater impact. This is not a film I would watch a second time, and why it's listed in the top 250 is beyond me. Granted, whats his face is a great actor and he did as well as he could with this film. I enjoyed seeing a young Jodie Foster. That's about it. 6/10.",6
"It's a good show, based on a good premise and the execution is exactly what it promises. It's funny, but it also has the occasional problematic joke, like the one about eating disorders, for example. Other than that, I love the perfect portrayal of the white gays for one, and how there's a strong female character who's just the most intelligent character in the show. It also has a lot of inspirational moments intended to remind the audience of the importance of family, which is a pretty nice message. It's entertaining, yet predictable.",7
"Marvel is going downhill super fast and this newest Marvel film just proves it.

Cool visuals, but a boring and meh storyline.

Mutliverse more like 1-2 universes and scarlet witch is such a bad villian. Illumenati fights was so funny, was ment to be serious but i laughed out loud.

They should never have hired sam rami.

Not gonna watch the next marvel film, cause this is getting just sad, sadly this film does not deliver.",4
"None of the characters are likeable, not even the children. The show is all over the place. Too many loose ends, I will not be watching next season. I was very disappointed with the whole season. It seems like they made the show to shock and nothing else. The grotesque king, the music, costumes, the drama.... nothing.. chaotic. There was no character worth bonding with, everyone is selfish and entitled. This show was a mess. I liked every season of the game of thrones, except the last but I was still a fan. This first season of this show feels like they just added drama and gross characters (attitude, personalities and afflictions) and just threw in silliness. The main character is one of the worst, she's not likeable but they want you to like her for some reason. Just a bunch of sociopaths being their entitled selves and I can't do another season. Sorry.",1
"Coming out right around the same time as the fantastic A QUIET PLACE, this similarly themed end-of-the-world tale has civilization ending by an unseen terror that once someone sees ""it"" they immediately commit suicide. Much like A QUIET PLACE, it's the story of a parent, Sandra Bullock, trying to protect her kids (and yes, yes, I know BIRD BOX was a book before either of these films was made). Unlike A QUIET PLACE, this film shows the breakdown of civilization from the beginning, with Bullock and a group of survivors hold up in a secure house. What disappoints in BIRD BOX is that despite the clever concept of having to navigate the world blindfolded or die, everything else is horribly cliched. The survivors bicker, and feature all the usual stereotypes, though the standard grouch character everyone hates is played by the excellent John Malkovich. They have to deal with the predictable challenges of rationing supplies and eventually having to leave their secure compound to restock (that part is actually the best part of the film). BIRD BOX does get more interesting and more original once Bullock strikes out on her own with her kids and the film does have a solidly clever ending, but the cliches at the outset and the film's overall inferiority to A QUIET PLACE hurt the overall experience.",6
"Too weird to follow. I held on for awhile. The final season lost me. ""Doom Patrol"" on acid. Do not waste your time unless you have a medicine cabinet of psychedelics. Traveling through space and time on crazy and nonsensical adventures. Skip it.",1
"Too bad that Ellen Page is involved in this otherwise decent series. If production companies want to push a social agenda by casting activists instead of good actors, then the viewing public should respond by not watching.",1
"WHAT! An 8 is way out of hand. The technological hype has been enough to wow people but if people go into a film for the innovation and overlook the whole then I think its rather juvenile.

Whatever ground breaking effects were praiseworthy are lost on an audience that recognize the ideological inputs that ruin the rest of the picture.

On this occasion it was in the form of ecological fascism that went in the form of humans=evil/greedy & nature=pure/holy.

Without a thorough critique of the rest of the production I would simply ask Hollywood to get back to entertaining and stay out of politics, reputations are developed fast.

There were further no standout individual performances which is what serious critics really thrive on when good cinematography is a given with such enormous budgets.",2
If you like cheese and advertisement you would like this for sure.,3
"There's a lot of good will when it comes to the Conjuring universe, thanks to James Wan's noteworthy efforts with the Conjuring standalone films but we are now getting to the point (much like what happened with Saw films) where saturation and frequency of films set in the combined universe are starting to get more than a little stale.

Following on from this year's early disappoint The Curse of the Weeping Woman and last year's crime against the horror genre The Nun, the third entry into the Annabelle corner of The Conjuring universe Annabelle Comes Home may be better than the first Annabelle film (which isn't saying much) but overall, this lacklustre and relatively scare free haunted house like creeper just isn't worth your time and money.

While getting early wins thanks to the cameo like appearance of Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as the Warrens and their collection of the not so cute doll, Annabelle Comes Home loses momentum quickly as it starts to focus on Madison Iseman's Mary Ellen and Katie Sarife's Daniela babysitting the Warren's daughter Judy (played by the capable McKenna Grace) as the film confines us to the Warrens house, a completely unwarranted romance subplot involving Michael Cimino's Bob and an even worse narrative device in the form of Daniela wanting to contact her dead father meaning debut director Gary Dauberman has a tough time making up for the more mediocre elements of its fright fest.

To say Annabelle Comes Home has no scares on offer would be wrong, as always there's the nerve wracking sound design, a nice new horror figure in the form of the Ferry Man (let's not talk about the foggy werewolf) and Annabelle the doll still manages to be creepy without doing a whole lot while the films exploration of the Warren's notorious room full of haunted and evil possessions is a lot of fun for fans of the series but there's truly nothing memorable on offer here as the film struggles to keep up the pace in its shoebox like set-up and rather bland main characters.

The Conjuring films and some of the more successful spin-offs like Annabelle Creation have always been at their best when combining interesting characters with the jumps and nerve shredding, while Wan set the standard with how a low budget film can still be directed with flair and energy but there's none of that to be found in Annabelle Comes Home as it instead is happy to follow the well-trodden and worn out formula of similar films both past and present.

We are not at the point where it feels like quality returns from this series may be a thing of the past, unless the maestro himself Wan decides to come back to the franchise he gave life to as the quality we are getting at the moment is not cinematic quality and would be better suited as a streaming service device where quality content is more of a gift not an expectation.

Final Say -

A mostly forgettable Conjuring spin-off that feels like the death-knell to Annabelle standalone adventures, Annabelle Comes Home has a few neat moments and some nice Easter Eggs for fans of the universe but there but fleeting instances in an otherwise tiresome and lame attempt to make more money from a worn down entity.

"It was 2010 and a good friend says you gotto watch this. I ignore it cause, I did not want to spoil my image of the pipe dwelling and tweed suited master and replace it with an internet savvy and cell phone wielding imitation. It was 2011 when the ratings were out and another bunch of my well known critic-friends tell me I just have to watch it. I listen to my heart and ignore it once again. Its 2012 and when stuck on a job, I turned to ""Sherlok"" Season one Episode one just to humor myself...and there began a love story which I hope never ends. Its brilliant, surprisingly stays authentic and true to the original and you feel the pages of Mr.Doyle's writing open up in-front of you. Mr.Doyle himself would have been proud. Its a fantastic adaptation and just when I thought TV was dying here comes a series that would want me to cancel appointments and keep my date with my couch, but of course with coffee cause this show demands attention and you don't want to miss any words when Mr.Homes is doing is lighting paced analysis. :) Watch it for the sheer pleasure and the joy of re-living on ""Baker Street"".",9
Scared Games Season 1: Spectacular! The entire cast is beyond amazing!,9
I guess this is the worst movie I have ever seen.If you have a lot of time you can watch.,4
"I wondered if the sequel would be as great without Marlon Brando, I wasn't sure if Al Pacino could fill in his shoes. And he didn't, nobody could. But, nonetheless, an astounding performance by Al Pacino.

The story is sort of like the first one, with a bunch of guys chasing after the Don, which in this movie is Michael. And he, with his smart attitude, chases them down.

I can't find anybody who didn't perform a terrific, ten over ten role. The cast was perfect and the script was well written. It matched the anticipation I had when I finished the first movie and was popping in the sequel.

Everybody has aged a bit, and the writers did cut off a lot of characters from the first movie, characters that I thought were amazing, but I guess that makes it all the more realistic.

You should all watch this movie, that is of course, if you liked the first one.",9

"What a bore. A bunch of celebrities in a movie where they all just have to play a flat one dimensional character. It's weird they seem to be proud of playing such moronic characters. It's not satire, it's terrible writing. There is barely a story, so it's almost impossible for the characters to do anything interesting to move the story forward. The script entirely relies on lucky coincidences to move what little story there is forward. Each character dose nothing smart or interesting, because if they did anything mildly intelligent or use common sense the flimsy story would fall apart. The characters come across information by dumb luck and lazy cheep writing. The writers weren't skilled enough to lay out the information with breadcrumbs given out for the audience to pick up and start making their own theories. Instead they hold back some information and then rewrites events when they spend the last half of the movie laying out what happened since they were unable to lay out anything in a logical coherent pattern. It's a disgrace to the mystery genre. All it accomplished at the end of the day was to give a bunch of self absorbed people a chance to pat themselves on the back for making such mediocre content.",3
"Predictable story-line, over-acted, over-CGI-ed, just another lame Marvel movie with no edge. I think they need to start killing some of these ""superheroes"" off, there's seemingly a phone book full of them... The movie's set in Waikonda (spelling probably wrong - cbf), a fictional african nation that has hidden its extreme wealth and technologically advanced society from the world with a hologram-forest net for decades... yeah, you know what, I'm just not going to go any further. It's a waste of time and just a really boring, deadpan superhero movie.",2
"So unlike most of the 1-star reviews I actually nutted up and have watched every episode despite absolutely hating the show.

The show is absolutely ruined by Parker Posey (dr Smith) and the little long legged nose flaring nugget kid who plays Will Robinson. The absolute horrid acting of these two absolutely 100% ruined the show for me. Parker is the most unconvincing antagonist I've ever seen. If this were real anyone with half a brain would punch her directly in her floppy wrinkly face. I have never hated a character so much in my life. If I ever saw her in person I'd have to attempt to punt her like a football.

The kid though... why is he so scraggly and horrible? I can't exactly put my finger on why I hate him but I think it's cause he cries every ten seconds and his nose flares continuously. He's just a horrible actor. As I don't normally condone violence against children, if I saw him in person I would instead like to slip some high intensity laxative into his milkshake so he has some serious explosive diarrhea.

This show is garbage. Half black chick is hot as hell though.

Good day.",1
"I find it hard to care about this film. It's a direct sequel to Age of Ultron, the worst Avengers movie, and whilst this movie is definitely better than AOU but it's premise is odd to me, like how would the government enforce their regulations on super humans? Do they answer this question? I don't remember because I got bored, and usually Marvel movies are at least entertaining. I also thought that the conflict between the avengers was kind of dumb. But then again I'm not a Marvel Stan and never have been.",6
"I like sci-fi, not silly-fi. This is what this show is: a bunch of silly dialogues, silly characters so many silly clichés that make us puke. They try hard to have some funny quotes, fails in every each one of that. If you try too hard to be funny, you are not funny at all. The writers tries, tries too hard too much hard and the result is pure cringy. Avoid this show dor your own good.",1
"Even though the film reminds you of the death and futility of the First World War as Kubrick did in his laudable film ""Paths of Glory,"" this Mendes film is reduced to mere war heroics that will please a viewer seeking entertainment without much reflection. The saving grace of this film is that the heroes are the foot soldiers and not the top brass of the military. The music was awful. The script is hilarious (it includes a pail of drinkable milk, with no milkers in sight or likely to be nearby and a single cow (without a calf) grazing--just to prop up the weak plot that allows a soldier to eventually feed milk to a starving infant!",7
Weird watching and reading everything through screens. The actual story was awful too. Lots of young teens in the cinema so if anything good comes out of it I hope it will be that they are more careful online and put their phones down for a while each day and actually talk to their parents and friends !,5
"Season 1 of Stranger Things is about a boy that went missing, a secret government agency, and a monster. It is obvious the writers of the show are fans of 80s era horror. There were enough allusions and homages that even the densest person would pick up on one. That it felt like a Stephen King story, adapted by Dean Koontz, and directed by Steven Spielberg is hardly a bad thing.

At only eight episodes, this does not seem like a show that is padded. Unfortunately, that is not the case. The story with Joyce (Winona Ryder) became redundant once she and Hopper (David Harbour) joined forces. The only consistency this series has is with the children. Their story is the driving force behind the series, and anything else just felt off.

All in all, this is a decent show, and well worth wasting an afternoon or two watching.",7
"I didn't expect that I would like the third Captain America movie so much. You wait for one story that is dedicated to Cap, and you get several at once, which perfectly demonstrate what happens when powerful friends become rivals and even enemies. Thanks to the Russo brothers, the entire cast and a great story.

It became clear from the trailers that this is not a movie about the Captain, but a kind of interim film about a whole team of Avengers who will not be able to agree and will start a confrontation. But I did not expect such a scale.

A large cast, where everyone perfectly shows their hero. The script is written in such a way that it is absolutely clear who is fighting for what, the motives of the characters, their decisions and ideals are clear.

The film immediately throws into the thick of things, clearly demonstrating what the Avengers' attempts to help people can lead to. They save some, and others die. And this is not the first time this has happened. Accordingly, the authorities are tired of this and use the events of the ""Age of Ultron"" to force superheroes to obey the government of the country. Cap and his team refuse. Iron Man agrees. And from that moment on, nothing will be the same.

The film pays sufficient attention to all the characters who influence the plot, the viewer sees how the characters develop, what they are willing to do for the sake of their beliefs. At the same time, new heroes are skillfully introduced, who already have their own stories and statuses in society.

The plot poses difficult tasks for each hero. The captain, for example, makes a difficult choice between friends, without even being afraid that he, always so correct and honest, turns out to be an outlaw. Stark, on the contrary, seems to be tired of being a bad guy, who is always arguing with legislators and taking their side. And each of the other heroes also makes a choice, which is very organically explained. The film perfectly shows this. Let some characters have one phrase, but the viewer understands that the Black Widow chooses one side, and not the other, because that's it. And Spider-Man joins Stark because of something. You need to be able to organically fit this into the outline of the narrative.

The film is replete with jokes, but first of all it is remembered as a dramatic clash of friends. And the audience understands that it is not necessary to be a powerful and strong superhero or supervillain to defeat the Avengers. They can be split by just one smart person.

There are a couple of moments in the film-twists, in which they already give goosebumps. They are strong, they are memorable. This is the merit of the creators and actors.

The result was the triumph of the film. I really liked him. It is deep, interesting, dynamic and even gloomy. And every viewer, one way or another, will wonder which side he would take. And it's great when a movie makes a person think, associate themselves with the characters. So the movie succeeded.

"The Coen Brothers let their talent shine in the movie masterpiece. The casting couldn't be any better in the 1996 indy movie. Francis McDormand and William H. Macy shine in the gem. McDormand received a well deserved Oscar for her role as Marge Gunderson. I can see no one else able to do such a great job and able to make the character so funny. Fargo was hands down the best movie of 1996 (against The English Patient, Jerry Maguire, and Independence Day) and from all the movies I've seen, about the last original movie made. Think about it, what genre is Fargo under, comedy, drama, crime, thriller. It is all of them. And now that the 90s are over, I can say Fargo is the 3rd best of the decade (#1 Schindler's List, #2 Forrest Gump) and deserved more at the Academy Awards, William H. Macy showed what he do and made a huge impact. Seeing him now in Door to Door and The Cooler it a matter of time before he gets his Oscar. With the Coen Brothers at their finest, this is a movie for all to see. AFI #84. 10 out of 10

RECOMMENDED: The Pink Panther (1963), A Shot in the Dark (1964), and Blood Simple (1984)",10
"I had really low expectations for this movie. Mainly because so many people hyped up Batman VS Superman and it ended up being one of the biggest flops in the Super hero movies I've ever seen. So ever since then i had high low hopes for movies like this. However, this time I was extremely satisfied! The plot includes the authorities or the ""high power"" getting involved with The Avengers due to them being very irresponsible and lacking respect when it comes to the citizens of the country. Iron Man and Captain America are now in a head to head battle with each other due to their different ways of thinking. Captain America wants to bring down the bad guy normally, where as Iron Man wants The Avenger not to get involved and do anymore harm. This is where the rest of the team pick sides and if it means they will battle it out, so be it! The moment the film starts it's nonstop action! Just when the action cools down and the slow pace starts to happen...just when you think it's going to be Batman VS Superman all over again, it ends up being a dark, roller coaster ride more than you could possibly imagine! You get to see a whole darker side of Tony Stark this time too. i wont reveal why or how, but you'll see when you watch it. The fight scenes between the Avengers was at least 12 mins long. That's double the Batman VS Superman fight! I really enjoyed it. The ending left me really wanting more and left me with an upset feeling, but not a bad thing! All in all, surpasses Batman VS Superman by a long shot! And I have to say add this in: Tom Holland as Spider-Man was hilarious and downright awesome! I think we have just seen the best person to play Spider-Man! 4/5 stars 8/10, Autistic Jay.",8

"I tried getting through the first episode because of the obvious inflated reviews of this. I couldn't finish it. The lack of originality was enough to make it seem like I've seen a million movies with the same plot.

Wait... Let me guess.. it's original because it's a fungus? How exactly does this receive a 9 rating? What is that score based on? This seemed to fall victim to the same curse of many sci Fi post apocalyptic genres... Too much dialogue and references to whacky terminology. My coworker recommended this to me and raves about this. So maybe I'm the odd one? I just classify this as a dime a dozen series. Save your time and watch something else.",4

The jokes and banter still held strong but I felt Tom hardy was leaning too much into Eddie being a dumb guy which made his performance not sit right. But with what the post credit scene shows, it will be good to see what they do with the character next.",6
"I really liked it.

It's a really fun creepy and mean possession/supernatural movie with good uses of effects, performances, tone, and writing. The directors Danny and Michael Philippou are the RackaRacka Bros whom I grew up watching their videos on Youtube as they made ridiculous but fun gory stunt work videos that were hilarious to watch. In the past, Youtubers have gotten the chance to make movies and most of them have honestly been really bad. But here, this movie is a wild ride and I really had a fun time watching it.

Most of the production, settings and sound designs were pretty good and the uses of the effects regarding stunts or practical were well-done as it helped enhance the supernatural horror and creepy elements together. The camerawork is solid as there are some pretty cool camerawork shots anytime some of the horrific moments appear on screen. Many of the performances from the cast members are pretty good, especially Sophie Wilde and Joe Bird as each performance was strong and made the characters interesting to observe. Teenage characters can be really unlikable in horror movies and it was refreshing to see teenage characters feel real without making them over exaggerated and terribly written.

The narrative is the typical horror possession concept with familiar tropes but the narrative works because it explores some new territories that surprised me and ideas that were refreshing and and I appreciate them not using the typical unnecessary jump scares and cliched tropes in generic horror movies. The dialogue is pretty good although there were a few dialogue moments that could use some work. Including some writing elements and tone that felt a little too similar to Sam Raimi. However, despite some small flaws, the film still succeeds with a great pacing, direction and writing that felt creepy, mean, and entertaining.

Overall, this was a really great horror movie and probably the best movie made from Youtubers so far. If the Rackaracka Bros ever make another movie, I will love to see what they can make next.",9
"The plot was good at first and was a little over the top, but as you go further into the Third season the whole plot just circles and basically starts back from square one with the same gimmicks and plot armored characters that just won't go away. The main Protagonist Will Graham is the worst part of the show. His character makes the dumbest decisions and seems to just make those decisions to make the show more interesting for lack of good writing. He's supposedly this genius who can relate to Serial Killers, meanwhile he can't make a rational decision as to not be at the wrong place at the wrong time and criminalize yourself. The rest of the cast was tasteless as well and could care less about any of them. Hard pass on this one.",1
Engaging series ive been binge watched whole seasons waiting for season 4.,9
"I took to much time to go and watch it because of the bad publicity the media gave it, but I was always wondering how this will go with that amazing cast, so I went and saw it! And it was amazing, the chemistry between Margot, Christian bale and Washington was incredible! It is a good story with great performances.

The amazing wardrobe was killer!!!! Even I don't like Rami Malek he did a good job.

Anya Taylor as always look stunning, she can play whatever any director required!

If you are reading me please give this movie a chance! It is a great love story with a plot. You won't be disappointed !",10

"It is a good action film for one time watch since most of us don't have much to do these days.

Good part about the film is that Randeep Huda got equally important role and he did justice to the part. He is equally good in action scenes if not better than Chris Hemsworth.

As long as Chris Hemsworth is concern, we expect atleast this much action fun from God of thunder, there were also one or two emotional scenes he shines through them.

Bad part... nobody bis going to remember this film after one month. Some people might say that action is something never done before but that's for them. I have seen better and I am sure many people have will agree on this. It is just like that.

"Really great movie, I loved it. It was giving me Season 1 - 3 of the walking dead vibes. From the beginning I was fully engaged, and I was intrigued to follow the story and find out what happens next. I get what other reviewers mean about there being some fillers... I feel that more twists and turns could have been added to the storyline. But in any case I still enjoyed it.",7
"I have nothing to say about landscapes or acting. Especially Emma Stone was charming in the movie. And that's it. Scenario is so simple. Songs and dances are just ordinary. I don't understand how it is so overrated. And compare this with ""Singin' in the Rain"" just get on my nerves. I can't believe this is nominated for 14 Oscars. Well, this year wasn't very successful for cinema history anyway. But still, 14 nomination? Same as ""Titanic"" and ""All About Eve""? It is just unacceptable.

To sum up, if you are really bored and just want to watch a movie for passing time, you can give it a shot. I am not saying it is a bad movie. Just an average, nothing special, classic Hollywood movie. That's it.",6
"Charlotte Rampling is rather menacingly calculating in this otherwise rather dreary espionage thriller. She is the matron of a school where acclaimed ballet dancer turned agent ""Dominika"" (Jennifer Lawrence) is being sent to learn how to use sex (and sexuality) as weapons of war. After a pretty squeamish (best not say sticky) start, she gets into her stride and is soon on the trail of her CIA target ""Nash"" (Joel Edgerton). Of course it isn't going to be straightforward as loyalties are tested, she hasn't really a clue whom she can trust and - yes, it does all sound a bit familiar doesn't it? I am afraid I just could not get ""Hunger Games"" out of my head for most of this and the starkness of the sexual brutality wore very thin very quickly - rendering the remainder of the film quite sterile and frankly, rather dull and repetitive as she proceeds to try to entrap her quarry and discover who his Soviet sources are. It is poorly paced, I felt, and at over 2¼ hours long it seemed to drag interminably once we, the audience, had sort of put two and two together. Edgerton is a competent actor, and the easy on the eye Matthias Schoenaerts adds a little complexity to the plot, but I am afraid, otherwise, this is a long and rather lacklustre outing for a star far from her best delivering a story that is most definitely not John le Carré.",5
"This is truly a dour and brooding piece; but it fits the tragedy that had occurred. The depiction of the event itself and the outright arrogance and face- saving that produced it is probably the most frightening part of this story. The acting is superlative. I'm sure this will be looked at a propaganda by some, and I am positive any Russian version will be more so (I'm sure the CIA had more important stuff to worry about than blowing up a nuclear power plant in the Ukraine). This should be seen as a cautionary tale about the pitfalls of misinformation. Excellent work.",9
"The film is overlong and self indulgent which makes it a very slow watch.The final scene is unnecessarily gory and if it wasn't for the two main stars who were fantastic, this would be a really boring film.",5
"So this is not an anti Wonder Woman spiel, I liked what she did in B vs S and mostly in Justice League. This movie however was uninspired and boring.

The action didn't work and the cgi (normally of a high standard these days) was disappointing.

"This series should be named ""Normal people ...not"" The way the two protagonists act throughout the whole 12 episodes will make you want to bang your head up the wall. These characters are totally unrealistic, or completely weird people. Weird weird people, lacking social skills and a whole lot of other skills necessary to survive in the world. It's extremely painful to watch them continuously strugling and failing with the basics of human interaction.",5

"If you like action movies and are short of gray matter, you'll love this one. But if you have a brain, or even half of one, you'll want your money back.

This dreadful piece of trash is the biggest wast of money, both mine and the producers', that I believe I've ever seen.

Intellectually incoherent, VERY bad acting, mediocre special effects. needlessly convoluted plot and worst of all, completely pointless. All the actors are talented (except Marion Cotillard, who couldn't act her way out of a paper bag, in English anyway), but they were all just phoning it in.

All the positive reviews, of which there are—unfortunately—many, never mention how great the ""Story""or ""plot"" is. The mental midgets who like it rave and rave and rave about the special effects. Well, my dear thinking, tasteful friends, that should tell you something.

Do not go see this movie unless you are escaping open-air radiation.",1
"Even the book will get only a rating of 7.7/10 but it's still a mystery who gave this film 7.7! Ansel Elgort was very poor, he had no clue about his character, tries to act bluntly like Augustus from the book and fails. Shailene woodley and Nat wolff saves the film. Nothing much for Dafoe's standards. Watching this movie will quash 'your' imagination of Gus and Hazel Grace. Better avoid this movie. 3 stars for the effort they made.",3
"Cant believe this movie is getting positive reviews...

I have no clue what type of movie this is. Is seems like it should be for little kids but the movie drops the F bomb. The main character is your typical helpless white male who without the help of his fellow female counterpart would be drooling over himself. Movie has to add every race and sexual ethnicity which just seemed so forced and awkward.

Plot wise it was a total disaster as well, super predictable. Felt like I was watching the MTV show Catfish... I cringed so many times in this movie I lost count... just so awkward...

Maybe this movie would be good if I was stoned out of my mind.... Drooling in the movie theater like the helpless main character as my girlfriend feeds me my popcorn and changes my diaper.",2
"As a stand alone original series this has it all really. Story, drama, magic, sex, action, humour and a wee bit of music. What's not to like? I have not experienced any other versions of The Witcher so have nothing to compare it against but I reckon that is a good thing as I did not go into this with my mind already made up. The acting is generally very good with some exceptions but for the most part I wouldn't change a thing. It was too short though and now the inconvenient long wait begins for Season 2.",9

Aside from that. the anti-male abuser message is very overpowering. The mental health issues are not addressed correctly, the female character is in a very poor mental health state throughout and yet that is because she is a victim.

Awful script, awful story, great acting.",1
"Third or fourth installment in the kids series, kid spider man, with kid friends, kid antics, kids may like it, but old timers would rejoice at old villains, and that's it, rest is kiddish, adolescentish, wokeish, everything but spidy.",2
"The well-crafted spookiness, effective jump-scares and moments of edge-of-the-seat tension will have the fans come home with Annabelle. It doesn't provide anything too new, so you can expect the predictable but valid moments of ghostly and supernatural terror alike the previous films. However, director Gary Dauberman knows how to execute a solid set of scares.

A camera technique used throughout the Annabelle series and other recent horror movies is the slow movement that follows behind characters, before giving you a fair fright. Horror movie fans will be familiar with this method, making it predictable, but still scary. The jump-scares will give you a scare.

Annabelle Comes Home also uses the procedure of moving us through the setting and characters of the story, before then spending the next prolonged section with the supernatural horror themes. Madison Iseman and Katie Sarife are definitely memorable, and it's great to see Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga in the setting as well.

"Season 1 was really cool, season 2 was alright and then season 3 came which unfortunately is terrible.",4
"Just having finished watching Season 3, The Witcher is on a trajectory that is going one way only - that's down the drain.

Season 1 was great. It had a the compelling story of Geralt as the Witcher which predominate with his nemesis, soon to be something more, in Yennefer, the ugly duckling turned in to a powerful sorceress. Add to the mix Jaskier, the humorous, bawdy bard. In the background of all this was Cirilla, Princes of Cintra, who has magical powers that everyone is interested in. Yet, this backstory did not overwhelm, with the season dominated by Geralt and Yennefer.

Season 2 is where it started to all go south. Still compelling, yet just too much of the focus on Ciri and not enough on the Witcher. And Yen was just floundering around looking to get her mojo back.

Season 3 glimmers of some of the Season 1, yet just getting totally bogged down in Ciri all the time. Geralt is almost a second thought to the whole season. And then the whole storyline is like GoT in just being way too much exposition and intermittent action/fx.

While I love Cavill in Season 1, contrary to what so many others are writing, even his Geralt is hitting the skids. So, I totally can not blame him for getting out.

Like the curse of so many of these series, if you don't have a clear beginning, middle and end, Hollywood will just keep milking it for all its worth. I'm not likely to watch Season 4.

8/4/23 Update. I have not read the books. Reading online, I understand that the story is somewhat true to the books. Yet, just like GoT and Peter Jackson's butchering of The Hobbit, if The Witcher is going to turn in to a medieval soap opera spanning 7 seasons, count me out. Like the old mini-series of yore, this should have all been wrapped up in 3, maybe 4, seasons.",6
"Either I didn't get it or it just plain bad. Either way it was boring and devoid of any nerve. The acting is not at all bad and the effects were nice but it takes more than a shimmering outer (pun intended) to keep my attention. It bears all the hallmarks of a movie that most likely is based on a good book (which I haven't read) but doesn't come close to do it justice. Some ideas should remain on the drawing board and this, too me, is one of them. I found it rather pretentious and unable to deliver a real story. I have nothing against slow paced mysteries and I really wanted it to be good but in the end it just splutters out into a big yawn.",2
Please it will never be as good as GOT or Breaking Bad . And certainly 9.7 is way too much,9
"At first I must admit that I am not a big fan of Bullock and Clooney. Because of al the great reviews around I decided to watch this movie in 3D.

The starting scene is visually amazing, it takes about 15 minutes of continuous filming. Somewhat similar of what we have seen in earlier films of guaron. After this scene we soon realize that the storyline has nothing even remotely interesting to offer.

Even if you let aside the credibility of occurring events, there is no character development even present. The only thing we get to know about one of the characters couldn't have been easier. No creativity involved.

The story development and ending is so bad it might as well have been the story of Adam sandlers latest rom-com.

Aside from this really bad storyline, the visuals are unlike anything I have ever seen. Generally I am not to fond of 3D movies because it doesn't add anything to the quality of the movie, but at this movie it really improves everything you see. The amount of attention paid to details in every shot is also amazing. I think you can watch the scenes in the space stations a couple times and still discover new details.

Summing these things up I think it is a big shame that the storyline hasn't been developed more. The characters were very, very thin. Although I can understand why they cast Clooney and Bullock (budget - sponsor wise) I think the movie would have been a lot better with characters with a less Hollywood-feel.

I would definitely recommend seeing this movie, but see it in cinema, in 3D. Expect a space documentary, and you'll be amazed by the details and viewpoints.",5
"I am curious to see where this goes. But so far, some of the lesser characters are unbelievable and very stagey. Some of the lines are garbled, mumbled and indistinct. Some of the script writing is twee with obvious filler dialogue and fleshing out of a scene.

I think the director is good in places and weak in others. An attempt at a fantasy 'Game of Thrones' rehash, so far unsuccessful.

Henry Cavill is strong and hopefully will be the glue that fills the very obvious cracks.

The series seems good enough to give it a chance to develop. Here's hoping.",4
"Another reviewer said here that this movie starts out ok and then goes nowhere and stays there. I entirely agree. Any movie that involves life on a lighthouse (when they were still actually manned) has potential with the solitude and mental anguish of separation and loneliness as companions. I wonder, from the aspect ratio in which this is filmed and the stark black and white, whether this movie was supposed to pay homage to the early Bergman movies. If so, for me it fell a very long way short. Bergman was the master of this kind of movie and, if I'm right, this is a tenth rate attempt to copy. I found this movie unutterably boring despite the action that I guess was supposed to keep it moving along. One of those movies where I anxiously waited for the end credits which took way too long to arrive. I didn't like it at all. JMV",3
"This movie is a big mess!! It's boring, lacks a red line and.....just incredible boring. It should be prescribed agains insomnia. I fell asleep numerous times during the movie. It's absolutelly one of the worst movies ever made.",1
It's not bold. It's not daring. It doesn't say anything profound about the American film industry. It has no reason for existing other than for the purpose of winning Academy Awards.,5
"Season 1 was a complete disaster , Season 2 doesn't seem to be better. They are trying to make it cool but they fail miserably.

The special effects are bad, the writing very poor, as for the acting even Cavill isn't convincing. The only improvement is that it is now chronological.

I don't know how can anyone say it is a gods show!",2
"The story is filled with plot holes , the evil man has no motives or even a reason to do that ( at some point i thought they just did that to protect wanda from being the bad guy ) Even wanda could just make vision body alive again without mindcontrolling the whole city First 4 episode were fine but after that it became very bad",3
"This film is so awkward, it's incredibly funny and feels authentic to teenagers. Very well written, not my usual type of film but should go down as one of the classics. Acting is spot on, couldn't think of any improvements.",9
"This show was much better than I expected! After Eternals, WandaVison, and all the recent marvel projects I had extremely low expectations. I was blown away not only by the story, the wonderful performances, and character chemistry, but the production was beautiful! The amount of physical sets and sheer scale of them gave the entire who a realistic feel that marvel has not had for a very long time! Any CGI used was beautiful and well done, and it was only used when needed (when they would not make a set to the scale or when showing something physically impossible.) I will not spoil anything, but I felt that Marvel writers put more time and effort into this show than they have put into anything in a long time. This show gives me hope for the MCU and Marvel Studios as a whole. In any film or show, there will be inconsistencies or plot holes no matter what any writer or film maker does. While no story is perfect, I feel that this show came close.",8
"I wanna know what diet Trevante Rhodes is on, where, all you eat is tinned food and pop tarts for 5 years solid, and you stay that jacked.

Swiss cheese plot. Absolutely nothing compared to 'A Quiet Place'; don't waste your time.",2
"Going into this movie, I was really excited. Finally we were going to get the visceral wolverine character that we have wanted since the original X-Men movie. The carnage lived up to the expectations, unfortunately once that novelty wore off, there wasn't much left to make this an interesting movie.

The plot was so basic a 5 year old could have written it. Kids trying to get from point A to point B, yet it only seemed important for Logan to be escorting one of them. I get that splitting up can make it harder for them to track you, but given the woman searched for Logan when she was trying to meet a deadline seems a monumental waste of time, but that trend didn't just stop there. While Logan contemplated helping the woman (who specified that they were on a time frame), Logan decides to wait a while before going back to find the woman dead. This is the first time that poor time management was used to add a spark to the story.

This happened twice more. Hey, we're on the run from an organization that appears to have unlimited resources and technology, so lets keep stopping to help horses, or wait for morning before crossing the boarder. Same old repetitive simple storytelling, used only as a means to have more people get stabbed in the head by Logan. Also there was a showdown that made me grimace and think of the old Arnold vs CGI Arnold in the last Terminator movie.

This isn't the worst movie FOX has made, but Marvel Studios sill blows this movie out of the water any day of the week.",5
"Steven Spielberg tells us the story of the magic of cinema, his own life story, and an emotional family story. Steven Spielberg is one of the few directors who has made so many generations laugh and cry while remaining so consistent in his cinematic output. He managed to connect art with a mass audience. The film autobiographically shows us Spielberg's beginnings as a filmmaker. But even more, we are shown an emotional family story: warm-hearted and open. The film is extremely personal. Coping with pain, fear and fear of loss when a family slowly breaks apart. An acting and cinematic masterpiece. Very deep and emotional. It feels like Spielberg's most personal film.",7
"Having said that it had its moments (last 20 min). Everything before that could have been 1 hour instead of 2,5 h. I just waited for the story to start, and it kind of never did. Great acting as always from Dicaprio. 6/10",6
"Clay Jensen (Dylan Minnette) is a socially awkward student at the periphery of the high school hierarchy. He is mourning the death of his friend Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford) when he finds a box full cassette tapes at his door step. It's Hannah's voice detailing the events which led to her suicide. The tapes are being passed along between the people who had a hand in her death.

The first season is an addictive y/a melodrama. The young cast is great. They deliver compelling and well-defined characters. It's rare to find no weak spots. The only problematic character is Tony which is mostly due to his character construction. A magical negro is a well known movie trope and Tony is a variation on the theme. He knows all and assists Clay in his development. He needs to stay in the background if all he does is tell Clay to listen to the tapes. In a show full of compelling teen characters, he is the one that doesn't feel real.

There is also something wrong with the mechanics of the tapes. The premise needs an earlier and more detailed exposition in the movie. For all his screen time, Tony really fails to explain the concept in enough detail. He needs to tell him the list of people given the tapes, and that he has a backup safely hidden in secret. In fact, he should be handed the box by one of those people. The premise is so important that no possibility of confusion can be accepted. On the other side, the reveal of Clay's Why is not devastating enough. Everybody warns him about his tape. It is supposed to be all his fault. In the end, he doesn't do anything bad. It's nothing more than not being a mind reader. It's a miss. There is one trope in many movies to build tension. A character tells important information to another but is interrupted by someone or some event. Everybody does it and there's nothing wrong with it. This show does it so often that it does become annoyingly repetitive.

The end of the first season drags on a little too long. The plot climaxes during the confrontation between Clay and Bryce Walker. It needs to wrap up the show quicker after that and the show does wrap up by the end. It begs the question why a second season. With all the interest, it's not unexpected to see Netflix renew the show even if it's not necessary. It moves forward with the trial in the second season. The third season has a new girl and a new dead body. With a murder mystery, the dead body needs to be episode one and perhaps even scene one. With the new girl, she needs to be part Hannah 2.0 and part Nancy Drew. It doesn't quite get there and the toxic social justice group does not help. That group is a problem. Even if Jessica had a problem as their leader, she should still implement other solutions like a safe ride program and a safe reporting program. As usual, Clay has a bit too much Insp. Clouseau and not enough Hardy Boys. Somebody should tell him about lawyers. Nobody ever asks for a lawyer when they get interrogated by the cops. The kids just keep talking to the police. It gets annoyingly repetitive. As for the actual murder mystery, the reveal is not that compelling and I have an issue with the people involved. I thought maybe Ani's mom would be the surprise reveal. By the fourth season, the show had long since lost its narrative drive. The characters are bumping around and getting into various movie-of-the-week scenarios. This is really only an one-season limited series. Its inherent heat forced three more seasons before finally getting canceled.",6
The movie we are told is based on a marriage of alliance between the Mughals and Rajputs. This so called(historically disputed by many) arranged marriage is turned into into a grand epic by the one and only Ashutosh Gowarikar. The main flaw in this film is the fact that there isn't really a story to tell. Most of the story is made up and bears hardly any relation to the real history(people looking for a historical treat be-aware). Now we come to the choice of actors. Hrithik Roshan & Aishwariya Rai. Hrithik.s rendition of Akbar would have been a pleasant one if he didn't look so uncomfortable throughout the film. His awful grin(three hours+)does little justice to a Great Mughal Emperor. On the other hand Aishwariya's Jhodha was much better and possibly her best performance to date(she finally acted for once). The cinematography is brilliant and so are the sets and costumes. The soundtrack is largely forgettable and not as good as it could be. If you don't care much for real history and facts you might just enjoy this movie. Though if you are after a little more substance expect to be hugely disappointed.,5
"Take two actors whose last semi-humorous days were twenty-five years ago. Give them a bad script and hackneyed trope that's had more iterations than Oprah's weight-loss programs. Offer the sophistication of a 2nd grade fart joke. Pretend that there's humor involved.

Join me in wishing the yacht had struck a reef, exploded, and killed everyone on board in the first five minutes of this loser saving humanity from this ripe roadkill.",2
"Not too much impressed.Actions are good somewhere.Straight plot.Unique is the participation of Hollywood, Bollywood and Bangladeshi artists even with the language also.Some abusive lines and words were not required and fit.The young gangster's cruelty and wrath was impressive.Story moves fast.The most unique part to me and new also the Bangladesheshi RAP at the ending with the English following.Good try in a new location.",6
"I am generously giving it generous 5 stars because of the Natasha Lyonne's character, I mean, it did work for me, I found her funny and charming with the hair and dialogue etc... good energy there. but, that's all there is to it (if you like her, if you don't you'll have nothing to watch). as it goes to the end it all evaporates into pointlessness... the story somehow lacks core and real points and real developments and that reflects on everything else in the show. unclear and weak story core will leave you with MEH feeling after watching. too bad",5
Writing for story and screen is highly fictitious and it has ruined the movie alot Not the one I recommend someone to watch it In short Boring 👎,4
"A very forgettable movie. It felt like something I'd seen countless times before.

I really set myself up for disappointment here, since I thought this could be something special for me after seeing the previews. It could've been a nice comedy but DC even failed at that, keeping it PG and trying to shove in some feel-good family drama. I only managed to finish watching it because I like Jack Dylan Grazer, but his character still could've been better.",5
"I liked Silence of the Lambs a lot - and I do not like CSI type of police procedurals... Thus, not a good start for Hannibal TV series? Well, yes, but I like Mads Mikkelsen whom I consider the most versatile contemporary Scandinavian actor. I have never seen a movie with his presence which is boring, although not all are masterpieces of the world cinema.

But this series caught my attention from the very beginning: splendid directing and camera-work, episodes with various degrees of distress and gloominess, correctly formed flashbacks, entanglement of characters and events, strong and compatible international cast... True, there are some doubtful moments related to time necessary for committing crimes and some over-sophistication, but overall value of this series is still high. I was also pleasantly astonished by Hugh Dancy's performance (as Will Graham): until then, I had remembered him vaguely, not knowing in which movies he had partaken; his teamwork with Mikkelsen and Laurence Fishburne, above all, is pleasurable to watch. But even minor roles are presented by interesting actors, with Eddie Izzard in one of the most awkward ones.

Besides, I wonder, how many viewers have reassessed their culinary desires or have become vegetarians - after seeing Hannibal...",9
"I like Oscar, but that is about it. A few good moments. This could have been much more.

This first season was gladly only 6 episodes. I had to fast forward a bit and especially the 5th episode. Managed to sit mostly through the first 3-4 episodes, hoping something might make sense and thing would start becoming interesting. But it never does.

The whole thing seems real messy and cluttered with nonsense. Bad writing and the flow is horrible through out. Too many boring drawn out scenes. It's hard to even understand what the point is.",4
I made it to 75% of this trash and had to end it early. There is no storyline just 2 blokes going crazy on a light house. There are a few 'dream sequences' where you are expected to wonder if this is real or just part of the madness. But it just highlights the weakness of the plot.,2
Unfortunately 60%of this movie was dog boring. There were a few exciting scenes but overall uninteresting. Virtually zero character development. The commanders seem dumbfounded by everything going on around them. Seems like more of an arthouse version of the war. Also some parts I just didn't understand what was happening. Disappointing movie.,5
"After hearing so much about birdbox on social media, it made me curious about the movie, so I decided to check it out. Bird box is a high budget thriller horror movie that involves a lot of violence, blood, and terrifying images. This movie kept me in suspense to know what was going to happen to the mother and her two children. The movie started out great and then all of a sudden, there comes a scene in the hospital where people start to go crazy, to the point that they kill themselves because they have completely lost their minds. I started to close my eyes because it kind of made me scared, since I usually don't watch horror movies , but after all the hype of the movie, I stayed to finish the entire movie. I won't say it's a terrible movie, but I'll say the message of the movie was that one always has to be ready for challenges at all times. Because of an outbreak that happened in the world, it made the mother and her two kids to find solutions on how to survive the outbreak. The movie went viral and this caused a lot of people to watch it, but I didn't agree on people making challenges out of the movie. It was all over Instagram, #birdboxchallenge. For example, people would put blindfolds on whilst driving. In Utah, a teen crashed into a car, while driving blindfolded. This act is very dangerous, and people shouldn't involve themselves in treacherous activities.",6
"I always read IMDb reviews before watching any movie but I have never been so compelled to write a review for a movie except this one. I must admit that before I watched the movie i didn't check for any reviews, I just relied on the publicity and the award winning status of this movie. That said, I don't know what I was expecting while going into this one but I gotta tell you that I must be missing something. This movie in my opinion has no character, no humour, no drama and no story!! It was so bad that I had to keep myself from falling asleep and my wife walked out halfway through. I stayed on hoping that something would bring this snore- fest to life but nooooo!! Anyway,maybe its just me but I think some of the movies getting nominated for awards nowadays, really-for a lack of a better word- suck! I felt the same way about George Clooney's Up In The Air. There's a disconnect between Hollywood and I, I guess.....",4
OMG! American CIA were so innocent and kind that made me laugh through the whole movie! I think this movie should be categorized as a fiction.,5
"I was never familiar with The Boys comics, but I am a fan of the show. The story of how real people with real ideas and emotions combined with god-like powers act with contempt and corruption is a welcomed fresh take on the genre. There's no need for one-dimensional villains. All the focus is on the superheroes because they are also the supervillains. For some characters this allows an incredible amount of development. Sadly, a weakness of The Boys is that it doesn't develop ALL of these characters, and wasted screen time is given to the flatlined. I was most interested in The Deep's arc going into season 2 because it was not a typical one. He wanted redemption. He wanted to be good. He just sucked at it - it's hilarious. However, he might as well not have been on the show...ever. He's gone nowhere and has practically never even been a part of The Seven as far as the time where the show starts. When The Boys fleshes out characters well you have outstanding stories and brilliant acting that gives you Butcher and Homelander. When it fails you get The Deep and A-Train.

When the characters you can't help but love are on the screen it is pure entertainment and increasing depth. Anthony Starr is unbelievably unhinged as Homelander. He's the most deranged villain since Ledger's Joker. A truly disturbed psychotic that you cannot wait to see what he'll say and do next as he's fearless and unpredictable. He never disappoints. Likewise for Butcher. Karl Urban is in the role he was born to play. Never a wasted moment and every line is nothing but sweet, vulgar music.

Though the show suffers some repetition (Homelander is evidently very easy to bribe or blackmail and Starlight is incessantly hopeless) it is a great show that reflects what would happen in real life. Ordinary emotional and mental trauma suffered by unordinary people with extraordinary abilities leads to deliciously evil and disgustingly gory TV...as it should be.",8
After seven chapters I am still missing a superheroes series,2
"Tbh I felt Aspirants is overrated. It's a 5 season ad of unacademy.

It's just that last 40 mins of E5 was really good .

Tvf earlier has given some of the good series but for me it's not one of those .

Actors level 💯💯

It's success shows those control the memes controls the universe 🙃",5
"If this is the level of writing we can expect moving forward, I'm done. This series is a dumpster fire that makes no sense when you put the entirety of it under the microscope.",2
"I have watched this movie in Spanish class when I was in high school. At first I didn't like it , but towards the end I did. The way he portrayed his character was really good. I didn't expect for him to do that. I love how he got his accent down. It was really a nice movie to watch. It was entertaining but then again boring for me to watch because I didn't really understand it. I would recommend it to anyone else though if they like movies like that. Even if they just want to see him play someone else for a change. Tom Hanks is one of my favorite actors. This is one of his best films, the one I like best I think is the one where he was on the beach. Cast away",7
"The most popular whodunnit mystery genre is back in a fancy, non-groundbreaking and enthrallingly delivered story about a murder and its resolution by private eye Benoit Blanc. Overall the movie is entertaining as well as well-realised in the modern world. In a world were cameras, smartphones and internet reign, ""getting away with murder"" Agatha Christie style is not easy to pull off.

However, Rian Johnson proves his worth as a talented director and writer with this film. After his unfortunate contribution to the Star Wars lore, many were scrutinizing his later works to try to proof his seemingly ""unworthiness"" to contribute to such a famous saga. Hopefully this entry would prove them wrong.

It's always hard to talk about the plot of a Clue-like movie such as this as the mystery is the central core of it. Therefore, I'll focus on the performances of the cast and the development of the case itself. Contrary to other movies and books of the similar genre, this film takes some liberties that may be new to it(I haven't watched every movie of the whodunnit genre so I can't confirm this case). It doesn't really follow the private detective. I'd say he isn't the ""main protagonist"" of this story at all. Or at least the story isn't channeled through him. At the end of the day, it's not his home where the audience goes to rest from the case, it's someone else's. And I am afraid saying the name might reveal a clue so I'll just not mention it at all.

I'd say the performances are extraordinary and enthralling but that is not the case because they are almost nonexistent. The biggest downside the movie has is that it features a lot of talent with an impressive track record and yet they are misused. They seem to be there merely to bring in big names to lure people in to watch it. But each participation serves a very superficial role in the story and after that they are nowhere to be found. In fact, it'd be incredibly damaging if the movie didn't turn out to be greatly performed by those who have more screen time/are central to the plot and the story itself wasn't so well delivered and paced.

As for the development of the case, I'd say it isn't too convoluted nor is it trying to be to confuse the audience. It doesn't want to create a complex mystery in order to make the audience gasp at the reveal of the culprit. However this reveal is a staple of the genre so expect it and look foward to it. I simply personally thought it was given away too soon in the story and from then on there wasn't much mystery left. And again, I feel the misuse of the other characters missed the opportunity to suggest other possible culprits that would have added more ""juice"" to the mystery.

However, there are very few subplots to keep track of so everything is understood from the beginning. There is no reason to have to focus on the details and scene clues and hints, no matter how subtle they are, to keep up or allow the audience to come to those conclusions by themselves. Something I personally think it's one of the genre's highlights as they make me ""feel smarter"" and even more involved in the plot. Additionally, I also believe it robs the movie of a more dramatic reveal of the culprit as well as its very own rewatchability. The plot is too straightforward and un-entangled to leave the audience wanting to figure it out on their own. But again, the simplicity of the plot may have been a director's choice and the focus of the movie might have lied elsewhere.

IN CONCLUSION, this movie is perfectly entertaining, easy to watch and follow, and amusing at some points. It's high level cast provide a good performance despite the little dialog and intervention they had they made the most of it and it contributes to the movie. The case was interesting, well-paced and delivered and straightforward. The ""twist"" is not really its strongest suit nor is it its whodunnit convoluted multi-focused plot development. So in other words, it contributes to the genre and doesn't really redefine it, so hardcore mystery fans may be underwhelmed with it. Especially after all the praise it received and is receiving. It's simply average with good entertainment value.",7
"Surprisingly, this hit all the right notes for me. It had a good mix of plenty of action, some unexpected twists and very relevant, meaningful themes at the moment (i.e. the loss of privacy and government spying). The acting was good enough for me to care about the story (admittedly, it was straight forward) and the film spends a bit more time creating some depth to Captain America, Nick Fury and The Black Widow. Chris Evans is more an more believable in the role as the films in the Marvel series progress and I enjoyed this a lot more than Captain America: The First Avenger. Along with Spider-Man 2 and Iron Man, this is clearly one of the better entries from the Marvel franchise.

"I did go expecting more. IMAX version only accentuated the fact that this movie had nothing else redeeming except good visuals and mind numbing sound. By the time this 1:47 movie was over I lost track of who was who amongst the characters. This is due to lack of meaningful dialogue.

This film is basically one long battle scene that is soon forgotten. After sitting through 1 hour of commercials and previews, this film disappoints as just another short half baked over-hyped waste of evening.

Not as bad as i describe but should have been more considering subject matter.",4
"Don't understand why the 2nd season spends so much time on secondary characters. I want to see The Witcher. His story is the only one I'm interested in. The costumes and make up are great but not interesting. What the Witcher does is the only thing worth watching and he just seems to be walking through s few scenes now and then. Where is snappy dialog and exciting fight scenes and the romance between the Witcher and whomever. Don't care about all thse other characters. And Jaskier? The dialog between him and the Witcher are great.

What happened to it?",4
Don't waste your time on this movie! It was really boring and it had no sense at all. i would not recommend to watch it.,1
Loved the series. Only complaint is the whole race swap with triss and fringilla. Triss looked like a 25 yr old red hair in the game and books.. and now she's a 45 year old black lady? Don't even get me started with fringilla. Hollywood needs to shove off.,1
"A really unique and entertaining show. It's well paced and the characters are excellent. What I especially like is that the relationships between the characters feel very realistic, making you that much more invested in them.

My only big complaint is that the second season wasn't on par with the first. A solid 9/10 for the first season, which is lowered to a 7.5/10 for the second season.",8
"The storyline is patchy. The drone act is rather far-fetched even for a sci fi fantasy flick. The character development is ify. Spiderman not wanting to be a superhero, combined with his naivety in handing over Ironmans legacy does not auger well for superheroes and there logic circuits. Come on guys 'Night Monkey'......",4
"The only plus of this movie is that visually it is still great, the depiction of the magic world of Harry Potter is achieved

But brings little else

Basically it is constructed on a very weak plot which is often lost in the middle of the introducing new characters for no reason (who is everyone searching for again?)

And then it shows you a Harry Potter Easter egg so you get that nostalgia feeling without any merit in storytelling

The idea of comedy of this movie is having a non magical (ie. Less capable in this context) fat guy... The most basic comedy writing ever

Then the only true character development included has no warning or indication beforehand, which makes it quite confusing

They do succeed in making the Newt annoying if that was what they were going with by making him so awkward when speaking and interacting with others (probably why they casted Redmayne)

Overall - very weak plot and dialogue results in a non compelling movie which other than its visuals borrowed from HP movies doesn't offer much",4
"The most painfully awful, embarrassingly awkward performance by Tom Hardy since 'This Means War'. It's like he's being blackmailed into or forced at gunpoint to play this tragically unfunny wisecracking super-buff tattooed reporter.

We can always rely on Woody Harrelson to turn on the hamminess when required (let's face it.. he can do anything), and really shows Tom Hardy up for his apparent limits.

Michelle Williams seems to have turned up to the wrong set and just did it to get it over with before she moves on to a better project.

Apart from all that, it's a mildly passable evening of okay visual effects & stunts, but doubling the amount of Venom does not improve on the first film.",4

"I liked this movie - I liked it a lot. Pretty much from the outset I could tell I was in for something a bit different and it didn't let me down.

Without going into detail or revealing any specifics about the action, this is a little like a live action cartoon. Filled with outrageous action sequences and entertaining dialogue, this film glides along merrily, keeping your attention from start to finish. With some genuinely funny moments and some stunning visuals, I think you could find this deeply entertaining whether you're a fan of the genre or not.

Don't go watch this film if you're looking for gritty, realistic fight scenes, because you'll be disappointed. Think more along the lines of the Matrix meets Roadrunner meets Iron Monkey and you'll be somewhere close to the mark.

A good time to be had by all.",8

"Plot: good but to hard pushed on sex. A high percentage of the movie is about sex and drugs. Maybe too much? At least the story makes you think.

Actors and Actress & Acting: Di Caprio did a hell of job, yes, and also others,

Soundtrack: very good.

Conclusions: a movie that I can not totally get. Everything was just about these crazy guys that did tons of money with no effort and have sex and abuse of drugs like there is no tomorrow. Yes, there is a good message at the end, but the",4
"One of the worst films I've seen in a long time. Admittedly, I wasn't expecting a great film in the first place. But, I did expect to have a watchable film as good as the last 5 Harry Potters. Those David Yates films were always poor, but they had Rowling's genius story. I'm shocked that she wrote this. I just can't get over how dull it was.",5
"Fargo has everything you could want out of a dramatic movie. Great acting, great score, great cinematography, made me laugh, and almost anything else you can think of that would make a great movie.

The antagonists in this movie are thoroughly detestable, yet still likable. I found myself wanting to punch Jerry Lundergaard in the face. Carl Showalter and Gaerd Grimsrud are so good as the bumbling criminals. And its all topped off by Marge Gunderson, the very pregnant police officer on all the antagonists tails. Frances McDormand plays Marge so well, with such naivety and niceness, that by the tragic end, you can't help but see the tragic beauty of the story that the Coen Brothers gave us.

If you haven't seen Fargo, do yourself a favor and go see it right now.... What are you still doing here? Go watch! 10/10",10
"I must say, that this show started out so great and that I got so hooked up by it, so it is really sad how it stupid it ended...

This show is about Light Yagami, a 17 year old boy who finds the death note. Whatever name he writes into it, the person dies, so he uses his new power to kill a bunch of criminals in an attempt to create a new world without any crime, an utopia with him as the new god of this world. Of course this doesnt stay unnoticed and shortly after he has started to get rid of the criminals he finds himself in a cat and mouse game with L, the world greatest detective who wants to bring him down. The only problem is, that nobody knows who L really is, so whoever finds out the true identity of his opponent first, wins.

The rivalship and the psychological warfare between these two characters develops a fascinating story and tension, which binds you on the screen. The use everything they have, use every trick they have up there sleeve and risk everything to bring the other one down. it is almost like a psychological thriller.

The characters are great in this series, not only L and Light, but also all of the supporting roles deliver a good performance and they do there part in creating this amazing atmosphere and it is fun to see how everyone evolves.

There are many amazing twists in she show, some you may have foreseen, others you may not. And even If you think that this show goes into a direction that you dont like, it resolves it brilliant at turns back to the basic idea of the show. All of it culminates in the ""end"" and it could have delivered a phenomenal, worthy and satisfying ending to this story and it would have been a 10/10 show... But this doesnt happen and when you think you reached the end, it delivers an unworthy and unsatisfying ending to this story arc, which was just dissapointing. They could have done more with it.

And then they use it to go into a different direction with this show and this is, where the downfall beginns. Because the second story arc of this show just sucks in my opinion. The characters we got to know behave so diffferent and out of the sudden the act so stupid and do stupid decisions. The new characters are just bad rip offs of other characters, which dont seem to act logical and only achive something by luck or by how I said stupid decisions of other characters. All of it led into a really dissapionting ending for me, that wasnt worthy for it after how brilliant it started. Probably are there people who like what they did with the show and how it turned out in the end, and I am happy for them, but for me it didnt work and they ruined a brilliant show which could have delivered an amazing ending.

But still I can really recommend to watch the first act and then simply skip the second act of this show because the first one is really brilliant and you can cleary see when it ended and the second act starts. Or you give it a try and maybe you even like it",8

"Thor:Ragnarok seemed, during many moments in the movie, to be a parody, especially with the cheesy jokes, and the 'punched up' humor (truly unnecessary). I thought Blanchett was EXCELLENT as Hela, though, and I liked Tessa the Valkyrie. My main problem was Thor's corniness ('please don't cut my hair!', etc), but I did very much enjoy the Thor vs Hulk fight scene, of course. Although I gave 4 out of 10, don't think I'll watch it again even when it comes on cable, unless someone else is paying for it. Needed to be more serious.",4

"anything above 7 in IMDb is generally worth the time, 7.5 normally is outstanding, this movie has a promising start but somehow manages to become boring and I was detaching myself at half way. Is it because I didn't read the book? is it because I was expecting a Harry Potter type story telling? Anyway, if you REALLY have time to kill, see it but you will hate me for not stopping you.",2
"I loved this movie. Great cast. Good character development (although some of the characters said little more than mildly funny one-liners). Nice action scenes. Beautiful. I absolutely love the tech upgrades they've done on many of the characters.

And yes, you will love Spidey. He's the Spidey we've been waiting for. (No offense to Andrew Garfield, who was perfection.)

I think the biggest challenge to this movie is that it doesn't bring much that's new to the table. The villain wasn't that novel. And as I know from having to sit through the movie with my parents next to me, not everyone is going to latch onto the idea that they're fighting each other. Seems rather petty, no?

But meh, I loved it. There were some aspects of the Civil War comics I'd wished they'd added in, but it was still good. Lots of laughs. Lots of action. And Vision brought up some interesting plot bunnies for future films.

Highly recommended, but with hesitation. It is more of the same stuff that we've already seen. For now, that's fine, but I hope they kick up the story a bit in the next movies.",8
"First two seasons were excellent but struggling with the third. Meryl Streep is very overrated and is so lack luster all the Tim. Don't get me started on her thinking she can sing! It's also lacking the pizzazz of 1&2. The story is very blah and boring. Paul Rudd is fantastic as always just really wish he was in more scenes and longer. While the Martian and Steve chemistry is good, it's definitely running its course and needs to wrap it up soon. I hardly find and laughs in this. Weird characters have joined the cast, a mother son relationship that is pretty awkward, boarding on incest. I hope this is the last season.",3
"There's quite a bit (especially the last episode) that stops this mini-series from being one of the best I have ever seen.. Having said that, it is one compelling ride loaded with suspense and plot twists.

Sure, you can find a lot of wholes in the plot and trash this movie, but, I really don't see the point in that. Each episode moves along briskly and packs a lot of drama along the way.

The cast us superb. Richard Madden as PPO Budd gives one of the most electrifying performances I have seen in a while. Keely Hawes is her usually brilliant self. The rest of the cast are spot on.

If you are looking for action, political intrigue and drama, you will certainly enjoy Bodyguard. I know I did.",8
"I'm all in favour of a revenge movie (especially when the bad guys kill an innocent animal). But two necessary features are that (1) the bad guys don't realize what they are up against and (2) said bad guys pose a credible threat. This film fails to meet either criterion.

First, the vengeance-taker John Wick (Keanu Reeves) used to be a hit man for the mob, so they should be prepared for the worst.

Second, they are not. The way that the goons conveniently break cover and shoot to miss would be risible if it did not go on and on and on. Who knew there were so many incompetent bad guys?

And what is a good actor like Reeves doing in this film?

A big disappointment.",3

"I just can't believe all the non critical praise I see for this show all over the internet. I mean is the bar for fantasy really this low? I consider myself a longtime Witcher fan, starting way back when it was just an obscure video game so I am not just some random hater. I've also read all the books (which are overpraised, imo). Exclude Cavil who I think is the only one worth praise and worth watching to the end, this show mises pretty much on all targets. Starting with unreasonable forced diversity of characters which is jarring to say the least. Continuing with cringe dialogs, bad CGI, ridiculous fights (knights in full armor droping with a single slash, characters in mortal danger oblivious to said danger...), everything looks somewhat cheap and video-gamey and you get this absolute cringefest of a show.

Witcher games made this name special and gave it this amazing ambience, music, adult and quality tone which this Americanised show completely fails to deliver.",2
"Bhuvan is brilliant as usual but the script doesn't have the strength. First episode is especially very week, second one is much better, but after that it is downhill.

". . . he ought to be able to place it in the section of his choice at book stores, AMERICAN FICTION argues. It takes a lot of effort to be an author. When a volume is longer than 100 pages, the scribe runs the risk of incurring the dread condition of ""writer's cramp."" Then, when a written draft is complete, it's very difficult to keep a ready supply of typewriter ribbons, correction tape, one or two reams of paper and file folders for each chapter. Furthermore, not every manuscript is accepted upon first submission. Even experienced writers have been known to collect as many as half a dozen rejection slips before finally receiving the check for their ""advance."" Therefore, it's totally demeaning for semi-literate store clerks to relegate someone's book to an obscure and inaccurate pigeon hole. After 96 years, when copyrights expire, Mr. Monk and other contemporary writers can be lumped in with deceased book people such as Shakespeare and Vonnegut. Until then, however, basic common sense and decency requires stores to let authors do their own product placement.",9

"Absolutely fantastic! Brilliant cast. The young child actors all deserve huge praise. One maybe a little more in Millie Brown. This is a talent you don't see often. Flawless would be an understatement. Winona Ryder shows her acting chops have only gotten better with age. Amen to the Duffer Brothers. The directing , writing, music and cinematography are all on the money. This show relates to all ages which is pretty rare to find these days. Stranger Things provides you with just enough laughter yet pulses on the horror/drama aspect to perfection. Now this is a way to bring back the 80s. Anybody who likes good television don't hesitate to order Netflix immediately. Besides you're already missing out on House of Cards & Bloodline.

Storyline not great either. Previous Avengers films much better. Such a shame. Waste of money really. Expectation I guess has earned its box office takings.",3

"9.3/10 ""Oh what's this? Another comic book movie? Oh well. Wait, is it just Captain America v. Iron Man? I bet it'll be just as bad as that Batman v. Superman movie."" I may be a little tired of comic book movies, as I am sure other people already are and I do not really approve Marvel has planned films until like 2023. However, if they continue to deliver movies of this caliber, they are very welcome to do so. Civil War is a pretty good movie. It has some great action, good stunt work and some pretty good performances and introductions to some secondary characters.

First, the things I liked. You're constantly switching teams. I was ""Team Iron Man "" when I went into the movie theater, but the movie presents both sides with great, understandable motivation and you identify with both sides. You never grow to hate anyone but you kind of know where they're coming from and that's a sign of a well written film. It's funny when it need to be, serious when the story demands it and just badass all around. Also, these movies are actually fun and don't feel like the most depressing thing in the world. Yep, I'm looking at you Zack Snyder. Most of the action is pretty good, especially the airport fight which is simply phenomenal, I would even say perfect. The movie also addresses some heavier themes, which are thought provoking and the movie isn't afraid to do so. Another thing I love about these Marvel films is that, sure they are a part this massive MCU, however, most of these films you could watch, without having any previous idea what the other films were about or about who these characters are, and you could still completely follow what is going on. And this is something to be praised: Civil War stands alone as its own movie. This is the first we see of Black Panther and not knowing anything about him I liked his intro to this universe. Spider-Man was the best part of the movie, at least for me. Tom Holland really captured the character of Peter Parker like no one else has and was a great Spider-Man. I can't wait to see more of him.

Now, for the things I did not like. The first thing is the villain. The whole movie you're wondering what his plan is but he never feels like a real threat amongst our heroes. He's just kind of there and does bad things. There is a point in the movie where I even forgot he was in it. His motivation was clear and in the end your questions are answered, but overall I think his plan was a little too ""Dr. Evilish"" if you catch my drift. Upon further thought, I realized everything of importance in the film could have easily happened if he wasn't in the film. Sure, the catalyst for the actions would have been different but the outcome would have been pretty much the same. The action was great for the most part, but particularly at the beginning of the film it did get a bit shaky at times, maybe even a little too shaky. You could almost always follow what was going on but it made me kind of dizzy. I've said this several times for the Marvel movies and it does take some points away for me, but the score in these movies is inexcusably mediocre. It always (or at least most of the time) feels like generic superhero music in these Marvel films and it is something that needs to be addressed. No spoilers, but I was disappointed with the way the movie ended and it felt kind of dumb to be honest. It involves a letter so you know exactly what I'm talking about.

But overall, Marvel has really done a great job once again with Civil War. The best thing about this film is that every character has something to do and every single one of them has a certain depth to them and you can identify with their actions. No one feels out of place (Well, maybe Hawkeye a little bit, but you can identify with him and you know where he's coming from) and in a movie with as many characters as this, it should be praised. Civil War is action packed and loads of fun.",9

Predictable Boring Nothing Thnos 😹 How stupid 🙈🙈,3
"Season 1 is engaging visually, builds to a climax, seems plausible, contains realistic decision-making, and has a tension that drives the story forward.

Season 2 has none of these things and reminds me of the second season of Outlander. It just becomes a cheaply written soap opera. Matthew's personalty changes dramatically in a matter of days, the costuming doesn't match the social classes shown (though, this is rampant in TV, but their CG London is surprisingly accurate so, what gives?), the comedic/positivity relief of season 1 is eradicated which creates a blase emotional monotone, plot triggers are irrationally avoided in a failed attempt to create tension, subplots are added incessantly with little to no follow-up, and characters who were heavily developed as central to the plot in the first season are nowhere to be seen.

I'd definitely recommend watching the first season and pretending like the cliffhanger is an enigmatic ending designed to make you think. Don't ruin it for yourself by trying season 2.",5
"I love Sam Rockwell and wanted to love this movie, but it relishes itself in stereotypes. I'm so confused to all the hoopla it recieved, but only slightly as the set this movie was made for its so tone deaf to the realities of the world that it actual celebrates their privilege in itself.",2
"From the incredible, innovative and often futurist mind of comic book artist, Stand Lee, comes this sequel to his hero. The Film is called "" Iron Man II. "" Director Jon Theroux, follows the basic character Iron Man, and challenges him with several new problems at once. First the alter ego of the Iron Man, Mr. Tony Stark, (Robert Downey) learns, the atomic power pack in his chest is not only saving his life, but is killing him at the same time. Secondly, his best friend, Lt. Col James Rhodes (Don Cheadle) is covering for his friend but is also trying to secure one of the top secret iron man suits for the military and with the help of Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell) may well succeed. Lastly, there is the main frame heavy, Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke, excellent acting), who vows to destroy Stark for betraying his father. Samuel L. Jackson, John Slattery, Garry Shandling and even Stan Lee all make cameo roles. The film is action packed, exciting, and promotes audiences to expect more in the following sequel. If that isn't enough, there is Scarlett Johansson and Gwyneth Paltrow who provide eye-candy with a attitude and a powerful executive allure for Stark. The movie is a worthy addition to the original and if you over-look a few minor flaws, such as none of the military figures, nor the police or the security guards are female, then the movie is well done and audiences look forward to the next. ****",8
"This movie would be an ok throwaway watch on a Friday night at home. But as a blockbuster ""best movie of all time"" multi-oscar winner it's a complete joke.

The premise of the story has the makings of a good movie, but it rapidly descends into random absurdist multiverse garbage with little relation to the main plot. Ultimately, it is simply boring.

The acting is good, although there's no way JCL's role warranted an oscar. Not that her acting was poor; it's just not an oscar-level role. If anything, Stephanie Hsu deserved the award.

Very disappointing after all the hype. This one will not age well.",4

"Not only the worst Tarantino film, but one of the worst movies I've seen. From the miscasting of Di Caprio as washed up Western star, to the boring plot to the meaningless dialogue, to the unnecessary crazy graphic violence - I guess when you don't know how to write roles for women, you have to show them get beaten to a pulp. The ending is a slap in the face for all who know what really happened. For about 20 minutes of the movie, I wondered if it was still raining outside and if I had turned off the curling iron. I feel contempt for the reviewers who felt they had to kiss up to Tarantino in order not to be hit with the wrath of this unpleasant egomaniac, who self importantly ordered the Cannes audience not to reveal the ending as if his colossal bore were a Kubrick. Tarantino has nothing to say, his best film dates 25 years back.",2
"I don't understand the love for this film. There are better Batman films in existence. The cartoon from the 90's was better than this film. (then again, how do you top that masterpiece?) 1. Christian Bale was hilarious.

When you make you voice as deep as possible, it's pretty hard to take you seriously. Kevin Conroy (Batman from the cartoon) had found a perfect balance between intimidating and realistic for his voice for Batman. But Christian Bale? He's completely laughable when he's yelling at the Joker during the interrogation scene. He also did this weird thing with his lips where he forced them to stick out as much as possible. My point is, Batman is supposed o be intimidating ad awesome, but Bale tried to so hard to do just that he failed on a massive level.

2. Heath Ledger was not that good. At least in person.

The only points in the film where Ledger as the Joker was intimidating was in the scenes where he was film something on a camcorder. Those scenes were great. In every other scene, though, he's cheesy and stupid. That thing he does where he runs his fingers through hair and likes his lips? How can I look at that and say that was scary? Mark Hamill (Joker in the cartoon) was the perfect joker. All of his mannerisms and his speech patterns were what you'd expect form a psychopathic clown. In this film, he's just a psychopath.

3. Stupid decisions.

Why did nobody on the police department go to save Rachael while Batman was going after Harvey Dent? Why did the police let the Joker out of his cell ""to make a phone call?"" You'd think they'd have reason to keep him in the cell, maybe even in a straitjacket. Why did that police officer get in a fight with the Joker? The movie would have ended right if the Police Department wasn't full of morons. Why did Batman never kill the Joker? I'm pretty sure if you asked anyone else, they would say they'd be willing to if it would save hundreds of people. Batman just has this stupid moral code that keeps him from seeing the broader picture (I have the same issue with the comics and the cartoon) All-in-all, a lot of idiots making stupid decisions.

4. Everything else was okay.

The soundtrack was decent. The action scenes were decent. Everything else was just fine. But laughable acting, stupid plot conveniences, and so-so everything else is good enough to get #4 on the best films ever made? No. This movie is overwhelmingly under-average.

"Obsessed with the fact that Mads Mikkelsen's Hannibal Lecter is not a character constructed to terrify the audience but show us that someone's evil side can be so subtle and so restrained it is barely perceiveable, and when seen, it is easier to ignore.",10
"The primary flaw with this adaptation is the portrayal of Hannibal. The actor plays him overtly creepy, yet none of the other characters seem to notice. Hannibal would need a great deal of charm to pull off the things he does, but this guy is as appealing as a cockroach. For some reason, the autistic genius profiler can figure out everything but the fact that Lechter is a killer. And Lawrence Fishburn is sleeping-walking through this thing. Thomas Harris must be spitting up fava beans watching this. This show is hopelessly bad, a combination of cheap '70s slasher shlock and poorly, poorly miscast actors. They are flat one-dimensional figures who evoke no more sympathy than an inert sofa. I'm sure the creators had great intentions but unfortunately they were not realized in this series. Hazy story lines, strange directing but worst of all, the two main characters, Graham and Dr. Lecter, are extremely unlikable. And not unlikable in a deliciously evil way, unlikable in a I-really-want-this-to-be-over-soon-way. The two main characters, Hannibal and Graham, who are being set up for a frenemy bromance are annoying at best and boring at worst.

Being a fan of the books and (most) of the movies, I had high hopes for this show. It's obvious that they didn't intend for it to be a carbon copy of the original which is a good thing but they could have at least tried to create something mildly interesting and watchable. Sad to say it wasn't meant to be.",1
"The rating audience on IMDb grows in liberalness as the movie grows with respect to belonging to a remote movie audience. Example a Bollywood movie audience on the average rates its movie larger than Hollywood audience. What a movie has been rated is influenced by its cast.

The story line isn't the best but thats not what this film is about, its the constant jokes and punch lines that bring this film together. If it wasn't for the great comedy this film would be pointless and kind of stupid.

Nicholas Stoller has made a number of good films, but this one has got to be my favorite. This film also sparked a spin off called ""Get Him to the Greek"" which is another funny movie with some of the same cast. Russell Brand does a great job playing Aldous Snow, and the surf instructor is hilarious. This is a great film not for the faint hearted, if you have a good sense of humor I highly recommend this movie.",7

The.sets are used in a stagey and static manner and other than the two male leads the parts are simple caricature. I think, as is so often the case, anticipation has blinded people to its flaws. One of those is how incredibly cheap the whole thing looks and another how derivative and contrived it is. I hope it gets better.",4
"The cast is pretty good. The writing is the worst ever. Everything can be summed up in these two sentences.

I really don't know what the writer wanted to achieve. The murder case is just so stupid. You will probably guess the killer in the first 20 minutes and you will pray it won't be them. In the 30th minute there is no way back, congratulations you've found the killer and for the rest of the movie you are just waiting for a twist that never comes. It's literally like a different writer from the first one. In the first you had a really complex and clever case and in this one you have the most stupid case and murderer ever. Really disappointed!!!",4

Tim burton directed this and all I will say is anyone could have directed this, what happened to burton? He has lost his style everything since he did sweeney Todd has been lacking in dark imagination. I liked the 1st episode and will give the rest a go. The girl who plays Wednesday is excellent in the role, not pining for Christina ricci, who is in this btw. However Angelica Houston truly made morticia something unique and natural, Catherine zeta jones looks like she is filled with Botox and makeup, this Gomez does not have the dastardly charm or good looks of the Gomez from the movie.

"Superbad is a very funny movie pretty much what I expected it to be. The only annoying part of the movie was Jonah Hill and his expletive talking. I would have punched him in the face if he talked to me like that. Other than that, I loved this movie.

This is about two guys who are in their final year of high school. Their main goal is to lose their virginity before they head to college. Pretty much the same plot as American Pie but hey who cares.

The acting is pretty darn good with the exception of Jonah Hill. I liked Michael Cera's character. However that doesn't compare to Seth Rogen and Bill Hader as incompetent cops. In reality, no one would hire people like those. But I laughed a lot.

Overall, this is a very funny movie. This movie brought back some good memories. I didn't like Hill and his f-word talking every five words. Other than that I loved it. I rate this film 9/10.",9

"Red Sparrow is a surprising, tense and quite satisfying espionage thriller. Although it starts off rather dull, the 2 hour 15 minute ride gets tenser by every passing minute and comes to an end with a great climax. Even though some of the aspects of the story are predictable after a certain amount of time, the film still does a good job at surprising the audience, genre fans and regular viewers alike.

The film is also striking due to its stellar cast. Lawrence does a satisfying job at transforming to a Russian ballet dancer first, then to an operator for SVR, while Edgerton has passive but assuring powerhouse performance as always. The cast also includes veteran actors Jeremy Irons and Ciaran Hinds, both of whom do a great job.

"I didn't expect ""Alpha"" to be a great movie. I only wanted to spend a couple of hours watching a nice family movie about dog-human bonding. However, I cringed at some things from the very beginning. For instance, they all had trimmed beards and wore nice sewed jackets. Hard to maintain the suspension of disbelief. Even the wolf's behavior is unrealistic. An adult pregnant hungry wolf is very grateful and becomes very submissive and compliant in a couple of days, throwing away all her animal instincts. I can't make my dog take a bath but the human in the movie in less than a week gets to make her jump into a pool for fun. Then the wolf reunites briefly with the pack but they leave the human boy alone, an easy prey, because, you know, they are nice animals.",1
"Most people love illusionists and magicians, arguably making something of a comeback in the entertainment mainstream thanks in part to people like UK based Dynamo.

Director Louis Leterrier has crafted a thriller come caper movie that wants to be the ""The Prestige"" but set in modern times.

We meet the four performers, street card sharp J Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), mentalist Merritt McKinney (Woody Harelson), not adverse to uncovering secrets and erasing them for a suitable fee. Jack Wilder (Dave Franco) robbing people blind whilst performing his magic tricks and finally Henley Reeves (Isla Fisher), an escapologist with a penchant for the macabre.

This eclectic band are pulled together as a group following the receipt of the mysterious Taro card requesting them to meet at a certain time and place. Unbeknown to this merry band, they are being played but by whom and why? We then jump forward in time and the group are performing sell out shows on a huge stage at Las Vegas as the ""Four Horseman"". The act is all about illusion and after showing their appreciation to their benefactor Arthur Tressler (Michael Caine), the grand finale showcases a multi million dollar fake bank heist. The group then distribute the ""proceeds"" to a highly receptive and appreciative audience.

Following the realisation this may not be an illusion but a bank robbery hiding in plain sight, the FBI are called in. Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo), who looks like he slept in his clothes, gets to meet his classic mismatch partner in the form of Interpol agent Alma Vargas (Melanie Laurent).

The couple then attempt to track and unscramble what is real and what is not. They are aided and not so much abetted, by another shadowy character Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman). An ex-magician for hire who now earns a crust unmasking magicians tricks by explaining how they are performed, which seems a real killjoy way of earning a living.

The set up is good and the cast list has great depth of experience to call upon. However, despite this fertile ground many opportunities are wasted. Freeman and Caine get very little to do, Ruffalo and Laurent have zero screen chemistry with the former giving every appearance of needing to phone his agent to ask why he is involved at all The four horseman actors acquit themselves well enough but the whole enterprise is let down by a very weak and implausible story which does not hang together or stand up to scrutiny. A bit like the art of illusion itself, distract the audience with lots of shiny glitter and movie stars and maybe they will not notice the plot makes no sense.

I suspect when all the reveals are complete many will ask, really was that it? The film did well at the box office so we may see another go round, lets hope the next time they pull the rabbit from the hat, it's clutching a better script.

Summary

Fun on a very superficial level but overall with so much talent available and an exciting premise, this is disappointing and could have been so much more.

As the tag-line says ""The closer you think you are, the less you'll actually see"", which is very apt for the film.",6
"The only redeeming thing about this movie is Robert Downey Jr.'s performance. His black character was so unbelievably stupid, I laughed despite myself. The rest of the movie is painful. And there was so much hype about Tom Cruise playing a fat comic role, but alas, it's the same old Cruise acting like an asshole - except he's fat and bald. Everyone screams in this movie, the whole time as if Stiller was on cocaine when he wrote it and the actors did a few rails too before each take. The lines in this movie are exceptionally stupid, contrived, and the comedy is way over cooked. None of the gags were funny because you could see the punchlines coming from miles away. The opening scene is too long, and so is the blown off hands gag. All the jokes are begging for a laugh like a homeless bum pleading for a quarter. Tropic Thunder is a true stinker.",2
"What is this? Acting is terrible, and the script is even worse. The characters have no dept, especially dr. Smith. Just feels very awkward and cringe to watch this show, it's terrible. Every time they get into trouble, there suddenly appears a way out. Also, the robot's movements feel so awkward to watch, like it's some guy in a suit.",1
Everyone has to watch this Set one level in Bollywood,10
"A series very much suffering from the idea of trying to do a prequel set while being forced by the studios to crank up the special effects every time. This results in more and more powerful magic decades earlier. Any one of these super-powered wizards would have completely overwhelmed everyone we see in the entire 8 film original set. Including several of them who are still present in the originals but who seem to be 90% less powerful by the time Voldemort shows up.

Every time they break the rules for their own universe it just damages the validity of that universe for the original set.",4
"Hi Anurag, Here are few things I want to say after having watched this movie on big screen last night... 1. The movie is truly world class. Please take it to every film festival in the world. I am the biggest movie fan I have ever known and I bow before you on this bravura attempt. India needs more directors like you. 2. Dev D's soul reverberates in every youth of today. Unlike the novel and like the youth of today, our ""Dev D"" is also perched between 'Desi' mind and 'Ultra-Mod' lifestyles and struggles on a daily and nightly basis. 3. Danny Boyle's suggestions have been optimally used. The journey of the Coke-infested DevD's mind is visual treat. As a movie fan, I feel the camera work and positioning sets the tone and gives 3-D like experience. 4.I want to share more of my thoughts with you, including some story lines which I think only you can put on the screen.",10
"I went and saw this with my husband(we are in our 30's), our three children from 11 to 6,and three nieces 12-5 and 1 nephew 10. It was such a good movie. Much much better than the first and I actually went in thinking it would bomb because sequels haven't been that good as a whole lately. I can't believe some of the things that they opened up in it but it really sets up for a multitude of things to happen in Spidey 3. The only thing I can say negative is that my 6 yr old son and 5 yr old niece who both really like the whole Spiderman thing... did not sit through it, they fidgeted through the whole movie except for maybe the train and warehouse scenes. So beware if you take little ones, it may not keep they're attention really well (alot of softer points in the movie) Otherwise the rest of the family walked away with huge smiles asking if we could go see it again and can't wait for the next movie. As for me bring on the DVD, can't wait to see the extras and hopefully any plugs for 3... ( i hope they bring in Venom or Carnage) lolol enjoy the movie!!!! It's awesome.",10
I don't like about these shows is that you have to wait quite a long for the next season.... Season 1 of the witcher has been wonderful. Cant wait for season 2,9
"The acting is great, as mentioned in my review title, and I fully understand and respect the homage to that Hollywood era, but apart from that there is no coherent action in the movie, just a chain of real life events with basically no connection in between, over a way too long movie duration, and much less humor than we are used to with Quentins movies.",4
"This series opens in modern day Mumbai; disillusioned honest cop, Inspector Sartaj Singh receives a phone call from a man claiming to be Ganesh Gaitonde, an infamous crime lord who hadn't been heard from for sixteen years. He tracks him down and Ganesh tells him that he has twenty five days to save the city before committing suicide. After this the action is split between two different time periods. In the present we see Inspector Singh and other members of police and security forces trying to discover whether the threat is real and if it is figure out how to stop it. Back in '90s Bombay, as Mumbai was then called, we see Ganesh's rise to the top of the local crime scene; move to Kenya where he is forced to help an officer from RAW, the Indian Intelligence Agency, then join a religious group before his ultimate return.

I thought this was a really solid series. The opening quickly grabbed my attention and once Ganesh had made his threat it was great watching the events that followed as the police investigate the threat and the flashbacks of Ganesh's rise; the way the two story lines were intertwined managed to avoid confusion while keeping things interesting. The action is fairly gritty with some disturbingly violent scenes; it isn't just the criminals that are violent, early on we see a police officer shooting a fleeing, unarmed suspect and suspects are frequently severely beaten. There is also a lot of robust language and some sex and nudity so this definitely isn't family viewing. The cast is impressive, most obviously Saif Ali Khan, who plays Inspector Singh and Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Ganesh. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to anybody looking for a gripping crime drama.

These comments are based on watching the series in Hindi with English subtitles.",9
Nobody watches a marvel show or movie to have an agenda shoved down our throats. Entertainment is going the wrong way. Marvel also needs more time to develop their shows and not use the same formulas.,4
This action-packed sequel lacks the heart and soul of the original version. Too many unnecessary characters and action scenes for my taste. Sometimes less is more!,5
"I stayed for one hour, couldn't stand it any more. Costumes were great. Hugh Jackman seems to excel at period films. Unfortunately, it was a musical (which one doesn't learn from the trailer), and unfortunately, the music was terrible. So it was hard to sit still for the music, and finally I couldn't sit still for it any longer. It reminded me of the music in Dream Girls and also La La Land, which was all over the place. I don't know how a singer would even be able to memorize this stuff. It doesn't follow normal musical patterns. Later it occurred to me that it seemed like they were playing the same tune over and over with different words. This didn't have to be a musical with terrible music. If it had just told a story, it would have been all right, although, based on what I've read, the story it did try to tell wasn't even accurate, and it hides a lot of bad stuff about Barnum. I just looked up a review, and it says this tony-winning duo of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul composed this music and that they also composed the songs for La La Land. Well, that's not surprising. I walked out on La La Land also. I love good musicals, but this was not one. I would rate it 1 or 2 except that the costumes and the scenery were quite attractive.",3
"Enola Holmes is probably the definition of flat out boredom in film. There are a few aspects to like about it but much more negatives to hate about it, resulting in just a flat and plain movie that I'll forget about by tomorrow morning.

Unfortunately this movie did not live up to its potential. Despite being titled as a mystery film, I think it lacked enough substance to be fully enjoyed as much as the BBC Sherlock TV series. There are too many subplots so the last 15 minutes felt rushed as everything leading towards the ending was disappointing with an abrupt conclusion.

The first 30 minutes make a really good opening, but after that, we watch it turn into a movie with the wrong decisions. The constant Fleabag 4th wall-breaking was starting to get really tiresome, but Millie Bobby Brown was terrific here. Henry cavill and Sam Claflin had annoying roles so i didn't care for them at all.

Overall, Enola Holmes' is just another tiring, annoying, and forgettable film which exists for no obvious reasons other than to jump on the bandwagon.",2
"I must say, I put this movie on with no idea what I was getting myself into.

This movie is HILARIOUS. There were so many exaggerated and over the top scenes that made the movie a pleasure to watch. I really loved was how each person had such a different and unique quaily while also playing the stereotypical role they were cast as. Any scene with the landlady just made me burst out laughing. Since this movie came out in 2004, you can expect to see some bad low-end CGI effects (think the live-action Scooby-Doo movies), but you really don't mind since the comedy of the scenes aged relatively well. To be honest, most of the humor was just stupid and immature, but I didn't mind it. I will say that this does lean on the mature end of the movie spectrum, it is rated R, so expect profanity, gore, etc.

In the beginning, there seemed to be so many different plots and storylines, that to be honest, I was really confused as to how they would fit them all together. Yet, to my surprise, the storyline converged into one complete and coherent movie relatively easily. I will warn you that the main character is not revealed until after the first quarter of the movie

Aside from the comedy, this movie has some sick fighting sequences. I say that totally unironically. I mean, yes, they can be TOTALLY over the top and nonrealistic AT ALL, but they sure are entertaining. The creativity put into these fighting sequences is actually quite impressive. The team was really imaginative. The fighting scenes are also vital for the character development of the protagonist Sing (Stephen Chow), so pay attention!

I had to watch this movie with subtitles, and let me say that it did not take away from the overall experience at all. After about 10 minutes in, I completely forgot I was even reading them.

My one complaint would be that some of the story lines were underdeveloped. I really feel like Sing's romance plot was an afterthought. It kinda just feels like it was unnecessary and didn't add to the overall plot that much. I also feel like the ""axe gang"" was completely undermined. Like after that epic dance scene at the beginning, I had high expectations for them but I was let down by the result.

It is obvious that this movie was supposed to be crazy. Most of the humor was based on ironic scenarios, and as cheesy as those can be, I still totally enjoyed it. If you have the time, definitely sit down to watch it. Super conveniently ""Kung Fu Hustle"" is on Nextflix, so it is pretty easy to find. I've seen this movie multiple times, some by myself, some with friends, and some with family, and yet, it continues to be funny each time I watched. There are jokes I still laugh about with my friends today.

I definitely recommend this movie, especially to comedy and bad movie connoisseurs! Enjoy!",8
"Barbie is absolutely brilliant! Studio executives would do well to grasp the fundamental reason for its success -- speaking truth to the viewer's subconscious psychology. I have yet to see a single review which acknowledges this, presumably because psychology and political rhetoric (from both sides) are received with equal disdain in contemporary American society -- despite the reality that psychology is a valid modern science.

Barbie poses fundamental questions of: ""who am I?"" ""Why do I identify myself as something?"" ""What causes me to feel the way I do?""

Greta Gerwig is phenomenally genius in anthrapamorphizing these and other human psychological issues onto the inanimate object of a plastic doll. It is analogous to an adult version of Pinocchio. This far exceeds the psychological expression for which Kubrik aspired -- as she extolled in the opening sequence. Kubrik's last work was A. I., which raised but did not answer similar questions. Clearly, the world has spoken with its pocketbook, and is now ready to hear about applied psychology and ""emotional intelligence"" -- simply because that is the only way forward with 8 Billion Earthlings, in balance rather than perpetual conflict.

Many reviews find the points made in the movie to be repetitive. However, most people do not ""get it"" the first time, and need to perceive it from differing perspectives.",10
"Forrest Gump, I first met you back in 1994 in the midst of the great American hype over you. I thought you were an OK guy but was let down and disappointed, I thought based on my unrealistic expectations.

Almost 30 years later I decided to pay you another visit and see how you've aged. You know what, I still think you seem like a nice enough guy but this time I found the writing, and story all a bit lazy and pandering. All those American events and touchstones of the last 20th century, along with the soundtrack, it was all so 'on-target' that you didn't really have to both with the story and unique character development to touch the viewers emotions. But those were super low hanging and obvious fruits. I can kind of see why some folks loved and still love this film, but for me it was mostly average.",6
"The acting skills, direction, production quality of the show is top notch, henry cavill is superb, first being a avid fan of witcher books and games i was a bit skepticle on seeing the trailers etc, but oh my!!!!, The show is just plainly good. Some people comparing the show to GOT, because they dont have any knowledge about the witcher universe and comparing mainly on the basis of swords and clothes they see. A fan of witcher will truly love and enjoy the show. Henry cavill is the real witcher...... Lol",9
"As almost every other review states, the music was a huge problem. While it may seem more ""raw"" than the original to not mix out the singers' compensations (i.e. singing ""t"" sound instead of ""d"" sound), the lack of polish was far inferior to the original. Furthermore, if you're going to stick to the same story to the original, you can't cut out or abbreviate songs as they did. One last note on the audio, the mastering was terrible... all over the place. As the original was highly prized for its music, this attempt really is a slap in the face.

On casting, for the most part not too bad. The primary issue i had was with the actor playing Timon... what? Why not pick someone who can at least act a personality? His role of ""guru"" in the storyline was completely absent. There was no semblance of chemistry between he and Pumba. I like the actor that voiced Pumba, but there needed to be more personality added considering they couldn't compensate using animation. These two characters are the primary influence on the young Simba, and therefore are even more important to get correct than Nala. Huge failure here as well. I liked everyone else. I thought Scar lacked the evil flare not being Jeremy Irons, but he did fairly well.

Lastly, terrible choices in elongating certain scenes for emphasis. Mufasa's death scene should've been way shorter. There must have been millions of wildebeests running by. Emphasizing this scene just further points out the illogical process of trying to rescue Simba any further. Once he laid low on the hillside, no need to do anything but run alongside the wildebeests... other scenes had this issue as well, no need to elaborate.

All around, it could've been good, but wasn't. And by not making it at least as good as the original, it just puts a black eye on the whole project. Disney would've done better to just make it a different story altogether.",3
This is one preposterous movie. I love Ryan Reynolds but these fast cutting scenes just hurt my eyes. And this crazy script? By Odin! And the car scenes in the beginning...when they hit stuff it looks as if someone shot fireworks for the sparks! That's too much. I stopped at the 54 minute mark and went looking for something else to watch.,6
"As someone before me write, what the hype is about? Sure, as any other big budget movie, the costume is very good, props and action is very well done, also the CGI. And the acting is also good. BUT, story wise i've seen it all before. There's no ""WOW"" factor like the 1st time i saw the 1st Lords of the Rings, The 1st Spiderman, the 1st Guardians of Galaxy, Deadpool etc.

I would have rate it at 6.5",5
"Besides its unimaginative story and conventional progression, it has moments that just cause shivers to run down your spine due to secondhand embarrassment. Unlike other Marvel titles, Sony is clearly restricted to spider-man and his supporting cast. For this title, however, they seemingly made the decision to remove Venom from any shared universe. As such, Venom's origin story is very far removed from its comic counterpart and despite having strong overlap with spider-man's design the movie makes no connection between them at all.

A missed opportunity for Sony was to be the first to have a villain origin movie, which could easily culminate into a spider-man vs. venom movie where neither hero nor villain needs more than half of the movie's running time to get established. Instead, Venom is sort of a hero but edgier. As if you were watching a deadpool movie without humor.

After all the nonsense stuff venom was saying and stupid decisions he was making, I finally called it quits when venom casually revealed he was a loser on his home planet (I almost quit when he just casually revealed his weaknesses to someone he hardly knew). In just a handful of seconds they established a (very poor) reason for Venom to become a good guy and it sucked.",3
"Every biopic seems to fall prey to some intrinsic flaw which dooms it to failure and The Man Who Knew Infinity is no exception. Perhaps it is that every man's life is so complex and multifaceted that the necessary simplification and abbreviation to fit within the scope of a motion picture inevitably invites crassness and phoniness. Yes this film is bad, and cringingly so. Characters are two-dimensional, themes are hackneyed, and sentimentality is rife. There is scarcely a fresh or original moment in it, only a a dire and inevitable predictability to the story. 99.999% of us, the audience, know far too little of mathematics to appreciate the importance of the hero's work. There is just no excitement there to lift the story. Actors Dev Patel, Jeremy Irons and their colleagues extract as much as possible from the material, and the cinematography is fine, otherwise, what can you say? It's well intentioned, except for the patronizing treatment of Indians, but sinks under its many failings.",4
"Watched the first episode and thought it was totally weird , no entertainment and a complete waste of time.",1
Its so bad it has to be put down. I am so sorry Michael Douglas career got to this.,3
"I bought this DVD after having read all the good reviews here. In fact I don't regret. All the actors delivered a very respectable and strong performance. There were some brutal and violent scenes that remembered me the biblical movie Passion of Christ. Nothing for weak nerves. The flashbacks have been built perfectly until the mean action.

The setting place and atmosphere has been well chosen. I had the impression to live in that time and I could feel the slave's suffering. This true story must open our eyes and we must try to stop all the existing violence on humanity of nowadays worldwide. This masterpiece merits no doubt the three Oscars. Congratulations to all the staff! Final vote: 8",8

"I was expecting an epic film from all the hype and trailers. The number of evacuees didn't resemble the real images of the exodus that took place at Dunkirk. The numbers were thinned down for this film, maybe 10,000 heads compared to 390,000 missing from the screen. the film was purely smoke and mirrors when it came to the soundtrack, repetitive and leaving you expecting something was going to happen... I feel at utterly disappointed when it ended.",5
"Great acting, great CGI, great sound, great camera, great in almost every way imaginable... sometimes preachy (for example Yenefer's monologue in the 4th episode which was pure feminist BS debunked in pretty much every scene with queen Calanthe) if you can ignore these stupid bits (they are few thank gods) it is one of the greatest fantasy shows ever... I would even say better than than GoT when GoT was still good. 9/10 only because I already gave 10 to Chernobyl and there can be only one 10 in same year :)",9
"I get it, just because it's Disney and Marvel, we expect greatness every time! But I'm realistic. I understand character development and I literally just want to enjoy good entertainment. However, too many people including the media, tens to make some series better than they really are. This one is average. PASS!",6
"I've just come from seeing Dunkirk, and I would say that it would have been no colossal loss not seeing it. I nearly left on account of the music several times. It was dragging, tense, and full of disharmony throughout nearly the entire movie. If you've no seen it yet, I would suggest that it's not worth the price of admission. There's my 2¢.",2
"Watched the movie today. The screenplay is somehow simple: there are just two main questions whether the message will be delivered in time and action will be cancelled (vaguely said in order not to spoil anything) and whether the brother will be met. So, no other twists for me there... But an incredible cameraman work keeps interest of a viewer till the end. The gluing together of shots is so smooth that there persists an illusion that the movie is made in one shot. Also, the music - it sound with the precise scene mood at the right time which amplifies watching experience. Neverrminding the screenplay and my rating of 6 stars, it certainly worth watching at least one time.",6
"Everyone is not squeaky clean, and when you're with superpower, every flaw will be magnified. This show really expose that.

The writing is good, the acting is good, SFX is nice. Perfect combination of all things creating a good series.

Punching ""left"" and ""right"". Good series.",9
This movie was in my opinion the best Captain America by far. It had so many twists and turns. It was so exhilarating and had you questioning what was happening next! Every single line was delivered perfectly and said at just the right time! This is one of the rare marvel movies that I will watch over and over and never get bored of! If I had to pick one movie to only watch ever this would be it! If you are watching or rewatching the MCU don't skip this one for sure. It is a necessity to watch. It has just the right amount of cursing and violence that makes it amazing and a suspenseful movie that you can never get tired of.,10
"Black Mirror is not what I expected. I had never seen it nor heard of it until April of 2017. Based on the reviews I downloaded the series. Maybe it was all the hype, but I am less than impressed with it. I gave it a chance and watched everything to date and have concluded - someone fell asleep in the middle of a Twilight Zone Marathon while reading William Gibson's Neuromancer and decided to develop a TV series upon awakening. Unfortunately, the person that develops it came away with little more than a ""B-grade Fan Film"" of the bastardized offspring of those two classics. It will appeal to tween/teen demographics for its willingness to center around technology. Unfortunately, it is nothing but another low production value piece English tripe.",5
"Can't believe this is an academy front runner! It has to be because of the homage to days gone by...yet, despite a great cast, it's just dull. Totally overrated and wouldn't have been made with Tarantino's name being attached to the script.",4
"This is very recommended for all British drama lovers, mysterious crimes lovers, CSI lovers, detective work lovers and of course Sherlock Holmes lovers.

If you ever wondered how would Sherlock Holmes be like in our era, then this one is definitely for you. It carries to you a very beautiful visualisation of a modern Sherlock that can be living between us.

Everything in the series is near perfection, starting from the great acting which was based on a well crafted script that appeared as a beautiful directing and photography.

One more advantage of this series that it's very brief season wise, as it's only four seasons of which each season has three to four episodes of which each episode is about an hour and a half long which is just enough to give you the perfect dose of thrill and enjoyment.

All the events in the series are kinda related starting from the first episode till the end, you will not feel there is any weakness in the storytelling in any point, however, the episodes are not equal in delivering the impress dose, it starts really high and it will decrease gradually over the seasons but not to a limit that will make you lose interest.

Another good point is that everything is explained and has a closed end which is satisfying after being in the dilemma of the cases for a reasonable time.

Finally, it's a great crime series that added up a lot of drama in the last two seasons, it's very entertaining and you will definitely get attached easily to any of the main characters, and of course no way of feeling bored here.",9
"Well, leaving aside the sad memories this movie brings me - which don't have anything to do with my overall point of view, I would like to express how annoying Forrest Gump results to me. Tom Hanks is an excellent actor (I don't doubt it), but despite that I hate the movie. Not the soundtrack, which is one of the best, being Almost Famous the obvious exception.

Not to offend most of people here (Whose lion' share is from the US), but this movie seems made only for them. Forrest Gump shouldn't have been premiered in the rest of the world. I don't think most of the audience outside the States certainly liked it, though it was a smash everywhere. More probably they went to see it because the word had been out that they had to.

I ussually like US movies, but not the silly and patriotic like Forrest Gump. It's an annoying and stupid film whose subject matter is that in the US even a dumb bloke like him may hit the big time.

Five out of ten, and that's being too fair.",5
"This ""film"" is 100% fiction; there is NOTHING remotely true about it. Ip Man never had a single fight as described in the film, never lived in Fo Shan during the war (he lived in Hong Kong), did not work at any of the jobs as portrayed (his profession was as a police officer), and was persecuted not by the Japanese but by the Chinese Maoists. This is a disgrace and leads me to this question: why not make a fictional movie about a fictional character if all one is going to do is create entirely fictional accounts of a real person?

Donnie Yen is a fine actor, don't get me wrong. The action is entertaining, the plot is invigorating... but it's all a pile of pandering rubbish because of the absolute misinformation it conveys without a single disclaimer to it's veracity. I would have appreciated it as a fiction but not as shameless propaganda. There are far too many fine wuxia, kung fu and dramatic Chinese movies out there to give any credence to one that outright and completely lies to its audience: Come Drink with Me, Iron Monkey, Kung Fu Hustle, Raise the Red Lantern, The Assassin, Devils on the Doorstep, Farewell My Concubine, YiYi, A Touch of Zen to name but a few.",1

"Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery continues with the adventures of Benoit Blanc(Daniel Craig). Benoit Blanc travels to Greece for his next assignment, as the world's greatest detective.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is a mind-blowing film. Writer-director Rian Johnson has given us a follow-up that's worthy of Knives Out(2019) which was critically acclaimed & a box office sensation. There are so many scenes that will make you guffaw uncontrollably. The suspense will keep you guessing, right until the final act. You just don't know what's going to happen next. The breathtaking locales are captured beautifully, by cinematographer Steve Yedlin. The set pieces are thrilling & edge-of-the-seat. The middle act of the movie could have been shortened by 10 minutes because, it drags a little bit. This is the way Knives Out(2019) surpasses this follow-up because, it was a fast-paced, hilarious & nail-biting film, throughout the course of its runtime. The performances are the highlight of the movie. Daniel Craig is the star of the show as Benoit Blanc. Craig steals the show in every scene he's in, with his distinctive & now iconic Southern American accent. Edward Norton is fantastic as Miles Bron. Janelle Monae is phenomenal as Andi Brand. Kathryn Hahn is perfect as Claire Debella. Leslie Odom Jr is brilliant as Lionel Toussaint. Kate Hudson is hysterical as Birdie Jay. Dave Bautista is spectacular as Duke Cody. Jessica Henwick is amazing as Peg. Madelyn Cline is outstanding as Whiskey. The supporting cast is great. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is a must watch for Knives Out(2019) fans. Just lower your expectations a tiny bit & you'll have a blast. Can't wait for Knives Out 3(2024)!",9
"First of all, the performance by Shahrukh Khan playing someone with Asperger's syndrome is simply outstanding. Kajol isn't far off either. Jimmy Shergil and the rest are also OK. The music is is good, and the two best tracks are 'Tere Naina' and 'Noor-e-khuda'. The movie is very touching which is because of the two great artists in the lead roles. There is nothing fancy about the story; it simply promotes tolerance of religion, peace, truth and love - these are the most important things in the world. It is also very inspiring. The cinematography and editing are also very good. Hats off to Karan Johar.

Verdict: a must watch. I give it 9.5/10",9
"I just happened to watch Parineeta here in Bangkok, though in the beginning I thought of clinging to some another ""oot-patang"" type Bollywood flick but i got amazed at its simplicity and the authenticity which the producers and director have tried to maintain throughout, everything in the movie is so simple and original,the story, the sets, the wardrobe, make-up, and the overall treatment is marvelous, there is no violence and melodrama, all the players have acted well no overacting or over projection. All the intimate scenes in the movie have been handled artistically and with aesthetics. Parineeta takes the viewer back into the by-gotten era. it is just like your childhood memories bringing smiles on your face!",10

It does not disappoint. Margot Robbie brought a depth of emotion to the role that makes it a special character and performance. America Ferrera also was sensational and is probably an under appreciated actor for as much as she consistently delivers in her films and shows.

Gosling, Liu, and Kingsley Ben-Adir brought plenty of the expected levity for the Ken roles. Gosling is well known for both his dramatic and comedic abilities at this point, but selfishly watching him ham it up and be funny never gets old.

As expected, the movie had plenty of ludicrously silly moments that and brought humor from a lot of different directions and perspectives.

Specifically, the mini-dissection of the patriarchy and evolution of the characters to more fully realize themselves played very well to me.

I could not recommend this movie enough. As worthwhile as any two hours you can spend.",10
"I think I must have gone into this with unrealistically high expectations after all the foo-fer-all made of it during award season because I came away underwhelmed. Sure the acting is fantastic and if this was meant to be a romantic comedy (?) its a good one, although I don't know how you could classify it as such. It is original in its storytelling though; sad, dark, fresh.

Bradley Cooper gives a great performance as a man just released from a mental institution after 8 months, trying to rebuild his life and win his wife back, or at least get the restraining order removed. Jennifer Lawrence is good too but again I think I was expecting more from her due to the academy award she received.

The ending was kind of meh, that's it? and I'll admit to being bored in sections as well as catching a couple of errors (duct tape appearing and disappearing on shoes). Philadelphia and their team The Eagles play a major role. There's a great supporting cast with Robert DeNiro and a refreshing role from Chris Tucker. 05.13",6
"My hope was very high, it is boring ..something missing and I don't know what!! The story is so focused in making the female characters take the man part. Women can be elegant smart clean and successful..",4
"I did not like the use of modern political terms. They should be left out no matter whose side you lean towards. It's supposed to be entertainment, not politics. I'm just glad there wasn't a lot of it to completely turn me away.

I also wasn't too fond of the casting for Gomez. I felt his acting was mediocre. They did a good job casting him as his younger self which I will not talk too much about as to avoid spoilers.

I also wasn't fond of Enid. She was too pop culture for my liking. I feel like this series was made for modern teenagers due to the internet terms that are used. Some adults will even like it if they fall in part of modern society, but it certainly wasn't for me.

As for the story, it's interesting. It even has some good dark humor that is reminiscent of the older series. I felt that Jenna Ortega did a good job portraying Wednesday. Also, how can we forget about the dance scene that everyone is talking about? I'm usually not into crime, but I have to say that I was really into in the investigations and trying to figure out the hyde. The last two episodes had me glued to my seat. You'll be in for a surprise.

While it might sound like I disliked this series, I did not. It wasn't bad, but it did have annoying flaws that brought the rating down for me. Even so, I'll still watch the next season.",7
"Red Sparrow (2018) combines elements of cerebral spy thrillers like Tinker Tailor SoldiervSpy (2011) and Spy Game (2001), with chick flick sensitivities and tropes, and a liberal dash of 1970 cinematic exploitation.

Jennifer Lawrence seems miscast in the role of a Bolshoi ballerina. While deserving applause for having the self-confidence to disrobe for the camera, she lacks the taut musculature of a professional dancer, especially a prima ballerina. At 175 cm, she's above the height limit for many ballet companies. She's pretty in a girl-next-door sort of way, but doesn't have the stunning, haunting beauty of an archetypical femme fatale or the physical strength to defeat an athletic attacker who seems to outweigh her by twenty-five kilos, even armed with makeshift brass knuckles. Her fans may consider her performance subtly nuanced, but others may find it one-note, or possibly two-note: I am hurting inside and angry at the world, and I am hurting outside and angry at the world. Natalie Portman underwent rigorous training for Black Swan and reportedly cut twenty pounds from an already trim frame. She looked every bit the part of a prima ballerina. Lawrence doesn't look, act or move like a dancer. She doesn't even stand with the poise of a dancer. She was good in Silver Linings Playbook (2012), as a quirky girl-next-door, but that's her look, a chick flick rom-com heroine, like Sandra Bullock or Doris Day. Pretty, but not stunningly gorgeous. Feminine but not super hot. An actress mid-American women can relate to, without feeling threatened.

Charlotte Rampling plays the headmistress of a school which trains young men and women to seduce and betray foreign officials. It seems reminiscent of movies from the 1960s, like Our Man Flint (1966). Repeat after me: I am a pleasure unit. My sole purpose is to provide pleasure to my master. The students wear proletariat work clothes, until instructed to strip naked and engage in sex before the class, at which point the female refuses and the matron tells them it's okay, they can learn to pick locks instead. The students are cautioned never to reveal their true names, even if one is a celebrity that everybody recognizes.

The plot is actually very good, with plenty of artifice, shifting allegiances, misdirection, betrayal, etc. The film has a strong recurrent theme of betrayal. The protagonist is deceived and betrayed, then wreaks revenge by becoming a master at deceit and betrayal. Strong performances by Joel Edgerton, Matthias Schoenaerts and Jeremy Irons. Good production values. Refreshing lack of distracting jiggly-cam shots.",8
I tried several times to watch this and I could not take to it I found it very monotonous and didn't engage in it. I expected better to be honest.,4
I regularly watched it when I was younger. It was by far my favorite show on Nickelodeon. I just rewatched it and I have to say it's still fantastic.,10
"PROS:
Incredible and realistic action scenes (unsurprisingly, since the director is mainly a stuntman);
Hemsworth gives it his all;
Cool establishing shots;
The CRAZY one-shot chase;
Good initial set-up for the story;
Not afraid to show violence in a violent environment.
CONS:
Very weak and predictable story;",6
"Normally I am a very ""idle"" IMDb user who would read reviews but not write them. The Incepetion reviews however made me reconsider, the reasons behind it are simple. A 9+ ? Yes the effects are great and yes the story is original but that does not mean its a great movie.

It's lacking consistency - the ""Juno"" girl was clearly miscast-ed - Half of the movie is about explaining ""the movie""


Let's not turn this into a ""titantic"" winning all the Oscars over ""shawshenk redemption"" and let's keep it a ""Avatar"" with just a few Oscars for the special effects.

"Reading the reviews, I can't believe this is the same show I watched. The first two episodes were mind numbingly dull and it gets slightly better, but not much.",2
"Wow ,WOW!

Just imagine this greatness in the first 2 episodes only ,so what about the rest of the episode!?

I can't wait ANOTHER WHOLE WEEK for another episode.

Everything is perfect ,especially the acting of all the cast ,Elizabeth and Paul are shining in the screen.

Unlike anything we have ever seen.

WOW",8
Wrong establishment and plotting of Dhaka. Every time there was Hindi music going on in the background. The villain Asif couldn't even speak bangla properly moreover his acting was below any standards whatsoever. Could have taken one Bangladeshi actor to give the movie more authentic vibes of Dhaka. Lastly poor bangla dialogues. It was more like kolkata version of Bangla and this is not how Bangladeshi people speak. Total disappointment.,1
"Sorry. Not so captivating. You wanna watch a Martin Scorsese movie and then tell your friends how fantastic it is. But not this time. Sorry.

Actually from the first scenes in the movie you are being struck by the idiocy of young men moving like old men. I mean, you can make someone younger with modern computer technology, but the way Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Al Pacino move their hands, their heads, their eyes, their whole body language, completely takes away the illusion associated with cinema. Good cinema is when you believe in everything up there on the silver screen. That belief, that illusion is what sets cinema apart from the theater and sometimes real life.

THE IRISHMAN doesn't capture this illusion and our love for these aging actors (dare I say old?) doesn't make up for it either. A good story well-executed, but the illusion gets broken again and again. Martin Scorsese should had used younger actors since it clearly is much easier to make young actors act like old people rather than having old actors act like young people. That is the simple lesson of this movie.

Oh and, the other lesson is that everybody wants to see a Martin Scorsese movie with Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Al Pacino. No matter the cost, apparently... (budget + 150.000.000 US dollars)

So were the money well spent? From an audience point of view, from my point of view, the answer to that is a resounding NO ... because the illusion wasn't there... Sorry!",4
"Tremendous, it never ends and u always hope it's finishing",3
"And then I found this hidden pearl. I've seen the first 3 episodes and I'm liking it. Phases like in Episode 2 ""just say anything to agree"" yeah, my kind of humour. I'm really hoping that they will make the sensible decision and don't stretch it if this does become a success and they see dollar signs, because then we are again in for bad writing, bad plots and 100% bad final episode.",8
"Age of Ultron is a bit of a weird movie for me to talk about, due to the fact that I actually don't know if I liked it or not. I do think it is a good movie though, I'm just not sure if it was my cup of tea. As in the previous Avengers movie, the main attraction of the movie is the interactions between the heroes, and I greatly enjoyed all the dialogue driven scenes. I also like that this movie focuses more on exploring different characters and give them more depth, even though I don't find the new characters all that interesting. My big issue with this movie is that it feels a little too much like a compilation of setups and explanations, whic only exist to set up future movies. Some of this has to do with the somewhat boring plot, which only somewhat touches on new elements, the slightly messy pacing, and the new themes that felt a little undeveloped. The movie is fairly well directed, albeit not spectacularly so. The villain is alright, and I like how he is a portrayal of Starks darker side, though he was a little boring. The climax is also fine, even though it is another case of the world being destroyed if the heroes fail. Overall, this movie has flaws, and I don't know if I enjoyed watching it, but it is undoubtedly a good movie, and that's what matters the most I think.",4
"That's it.

If you don't know it's about the Agents of Shield led by Agent Phil Coulson is has enough mystery to him to span the entire series, while he and just team made inhuman, robots, Chronicoms, expert agents deal with Kree, Aliens, Hydra, space, time death and magic.

When debuted people expected Avengers the tv show. It's genuinely the people, or agents, who set up the scenarios that give life to the events in the MCU.

I'm my opinion it's more exciting than the Disney plus marvel shows, way more exciting than the Defenders (originally produced by Netflix).

All the power gems are explained in detail too, it connects to every movie and tv show up to 2020.",10
"There was a rushing aspect to this film. These two Marvel characters are well known. There consequential meeting and explanations of the characters and their backs stories were again incredibly rushed. Who was the villains love interest, who cares? Marvel comics, graphic novels etc all stem from the same principle, which is. You need to build the characters.

It seems that's once again this was not on the agenda. Disney realised quickly that to create culturally popular characters slowly with origin character development and labours build a strong fanbase and therefore bigger wider audiences, bigger revenues. This Studio however. Has not.

This only reiterates that this Studio does not have any concept of fans, the paying public. This is the equivalent of going to a carnival and seeing a giant teddy bear, hooking the duck and getting a packet of crayons.

Poor writing. Some bad decisions are being made continuously when involving the franchise. The issue is the pride in the quality of work in oppose to how many people buy it.

Please step up.",3
"I rarely write reviews, but this was just off the charts. Virtually no story. The usually brilliant Woody Harrelson is miscast. Feels like there is no second act. The film has a setup, and an ending, that's it. Just VFX, nothing else. I promise you; you will reap more benefit by going for a walk and listening to a podcast than watching this. Go outside, look at nature, smile at someone. (For reference, I grew up reading comic books in the 90's and early 2000's.)",1
"Behind all of the ungodly events that happened through MCU people still struggles as a result from their social constructs, one of which is institutionalized racism. This latest MCU strategy saturated the issues behind the big three which is the ""Aliens, Androids, and Wizards.""

The ability of the series to continue without the narrative that the planet is ending is a new insight for the MCU. The protagonist of the story is not some dude with godly powers nor have an ambition to take over the world, but rather the dark history that certain people cannot accept and refuse to acknowledge, leading towards institutionalized racism that inspired the disenfranchised to strike back with the government, which literally has super soldiers and gods at their disposal. They demonstrated that perhaps superhero genre may expand with other aspects and is not limited to a black and white narrative arc.",9
"First of all, I have to mention that I am definitely not a series fan. Can't stand the fact that in order to get a whole picture I have to watch 6 seasons with 20 episodes each.

So the first thing I enjoyed was a great format - mini-series (5 hours long). Longer than a normal movie and way shorter than series. Gives you just enough information to process and actually enjoy the content. Worked well for Chernobyl's subject because if it would be shorter then the audience wouldn't have a whole picture. And if it would be longer it would be boring.

A rich mix of feelings throughout the whole series length. I felt depressed, disgusted, sorrow, sedated and anxious. Series ending left me with a mixed feeling for quite a while.

Deep compassion. I decided to separate this feeling from all others because most of the movies or series on a similar subject do not provoke the same feeling inside me. However, this one does.

Memorable characters. Great casting job since every person fits in the picture harmoniously. Even people in masks are different from each other in a good way.

Good background knowledge of the subject. The fact that I was interested in the history of the Chernobyl events made series more entertaining. Have to give credit for accuracy on most of scenes and details.

To conclude I would say that even if you aren't into series in general - this particular one is definitely worth a try.",9
"I don't think I could count all the jokes in Arrested Development if I tried. It is without a doubt one of the fastest shows that has ever been made, and it relies heavily on countless callbacks to prior jokes, often in extremely understated ways. I've watched the show twice and I don't think I've laughed at everything there is to laugh at yet. It has the wit of shows like ""Community"" but hits the hard-to-do market of gimmicky TV; the characters are utterly insane and completely unbelievable, the plot is impossible and nonsensical, and the more you watch it the less it seems to say about anything (think: Seinfeld plus caffeine patch minus the 1990s). But it is remarkably well done. I don't know if better casting is possible. Loses a star for the reboot, but not in the usual way. Unlike some others, I was able to watch the rebooted seasons with no issue, as it stayed remarkably true-to-form in writing and production. But something just felt off. The last season was enjoyable but I was somewhat distracted, like when one is in the car driving to the airport for a vacation but ""did I leave the garage door open?"" won't leave one's mind. Maybe it was just how much the actors had aged. 10+ years is a long time to wait to reboot a series and pretend like it hadn't been that long.

All said, one of the best sitcoms ever created, and no doubt an enjoyable experience for anyone who loves witty, absurd comedy TV. Just make sure you put your seatbelt on.",9
"This is a ""good fun for the family"" movie, if you prefer your adventure soft boiled. I can't quite decide whether Johhny Depp makes the movie better or worse. Without him it would certainly have been drearier, but with him it takes the movie from adventure to amusement park ride. He plays a scalawag pirate who is more of a swish, than swash, buckler. He teeters rather than swaggers, bombs out with the ladies, and never shows us any of the skills of a former Pirate Captain.

He's the modern androgynous anti hero we've had to put up with since ""real men"" departed the movies.

Geoffery Rush on the other hand is the anchor that holds this flimsy vehicle down. He is plays evil properly: with cold amusement, and a solid sense of his own superiority. He adds just the right trace of despair at his condition, and avoids all of Depp's silly stereotypical ""Pirate"" babble. A more ironic Director would have allowed him to escape his formulaic ending.

Unfortunately the movie doesn't know how to take itself seriously, when that is required, preferring to trot in a comedy relief duo when no such relief is required, and to insist on allowing Depp's character to stay dizzily in character, when I, for one, desperately wanted him to show some passion.",6
"Here's the deal with this one: it is entertaining and worth a watch but it definitely has its flaws. The character are unique and fairly well developed and Ortega as Wednesday is a home run. The rest of the Adams family was poorly cast however - lead by Gomez (played by Luis Guzmán) - a role so poorly cast I couldn't get past it the entire series... ridiculously bad. In the end the series became more cliché and predictable than it was at the start but still watchable. The first four episodes were the best, the fifth was quite boring and the final three were fine. All in all I'm glad I watched but it's nothing to get overly excited about.",7
"Not far into this film I thought it wasn't for me but my husband will like it. But after enduring more than half of it I realised that was an insult to his intelligence.

Utterly boring and confused (rather than confusing) with pointless violence just for the sake of it. Will no doubt make a decent computer game.

I am giving this 3 purely for the special effects, which are OK.

If I never I see another film like this it will be too soon.

I have never reviewed a movie on here before but I felt I must as that 9.2 rating has to change!",3

"The flashyness is over the top but, wasn't Gatsby ""over the top"" for his parties. It's all a show... The music though through out the movie is a major turn off. I would give the film 6.5 or 7.0 out of 10 if it wasn't for the modern music play, jay z!?!? I mean really it makes a serious film turn super corny. Soooo I would give this film 3-4 stars, honestly watch Redford's version or read the book if you want to know about Gatsby. Watch this if you have 2 hrs to kill.",4
Out of all the Captain America's this is the one I like the most Got all the supporting characters superheroes and especially the airport scene will tell you anything else about it. Got to watch the movie to appreciate it.,9
"I expected cheese and that's what I got.

But what I didn't expect was writing that amounts to if an edgelord teen wrote a Saturday Morning Cartoon, which works for the source material.

I also was not expecting a thoughtful presentation of the tribal cultures of the wastelands the characters travel through the series.

Now for some gripes, Sweettooth played with two actors works like 98 percent of the time, on occasion ones acting doesn't jive with what the other is doing.

And I kinda wish there was more vehicular combat in the adaptation of a car combat video game. But what we do get is crazy, over the top and crazy violent. And I get the difference in medium just saying I would've liked more.",7
"Expository dialogue from beginning to end, coincidence to make James Fennimore Cooper blush, an incoherent structure, a laughably small timeframe for the story, really dodgy special effects, incoherent world building, and a pretty decent bad guy make for a bad film overall.

Ryan Coogler took the situation the Russos made in Civil War, T'challa being the Black Panther, and added so much unnecessary complexity to the situation. For some reason, he tied being the Black Panther to being King of Wakanda, even though it's obviously not necessary. Throwing in a requirement that T'challa lose his Panther powers for a fight to the death with anyone who wants to challenge him to take the throne made sense in the wake of that decision overall (because of how the second one plays out), but it creates massive structural and logic problems on top of it. Is this really how the country's next leader is decided? Whomever can kill the other in ritualized combat? And, there's a drug that can give you super powers and another that can immediately take them away? It's the kind of stupid you might expect from a comic book movie, but the powers are given and taken so easily and frequently within this individual film as to make the meaning of them smaller than intended.

So, T'Challa comes back from Europe after Civil War and has to become king and the Black Panther for real. He fights off a challenge from the fifth tribe in Wakanda who hasn't been seen in hundreds of years and secures his throne. Meanwhile, they've received notice of Klauwe, a South African arms dealer who stole a bunch of their precious metal vibranium from them decades ago and killed a bunch of people in the process, including the father of __, who leads one of the five tribes of Wakanda and leads the military. T'Challa goes to South Korea to intercept Klauwe, fails when the antagonist Killmonger gets him first and kills him in a way that leads to everyone else dying. Killmonger than takes Klauwe's body into Wakanda and immediately and coincidentally finds the one person in the whole country with both the inclination to listen to Killmonger at the sight of Klauwe's body and the authority to back him if he should decide to challenge T'Challa.

Killmonger challenges T'Challa to the throne, wins by throwing T'Challa over the waterfall without ensuring that the one guy who could prevent him from keeping the crown is actually dead, and starts an imperialistic program that will see Wakanda forcefully take over other countries because they don't align with his values. T'Challa is, of course, not dead, gets resuscitated and re-powered with the magic plant that gives him Black Panther powers before challenging Killmonger to a second fight which blows the whole country into its own civil war. Oh, and Killmonger had shown up less than twenty-four hours before.

This movie is a complete mess. The biggest issue is that the story itself really doesn't start until an hour in when Killmonger shows up in Wakanda. Everything up to that point are subplots that don't really matter. The first half hour deals with world building around a utopia with incomprehensible customs around government and an action scene that doesn't really matter because T'Challa was effectively king before and is king afterwards. Hell, based on Civil War, I assumed that T'Challa was already king because he said so in that movie. Klauwe is an excuse to get an action scene in Seoul. Since Killmonger just shows up with Klauwe's body, the whole action scene didn't actually affect the story in any meaningful way. Once Killmonger gets there, we get a sense of a central conflict, but the conflict of visions isn't built dramatically. It's just people explaining their believes to each other in expository dialogue. Killmonger, while a pretty good villain considering his competition of antagonists in the Marvel Universe, is more of a hodgepodge of motives that never really get straightened out. He's out for revenge and to make Wakanda an imperialistic power imposing its views on the world. Fine, but his motives for his actual actions seem more driven by the mere revenge and the stuff about imperialism is a coating on his motives. It doesn't feel like the motives were ironed out particularly well.

In the end, I find this a confusing slog of a film. The final fight gets ridiculous, not because it has war rhinos (which are kinda cool in a superficial way), but because of the short timeframe that the whole story has taken place. This great jewel of the world, hidden away because of its awesomeness, was thrown into complete chaos within a twenty-four hour period and only resolved because one guy got stabbed in the heart. I mean, there's disruptive and then there's a utopia that's never had its power structure challenged in the least way, undermining its status as a utopia. It also looks rather bland. There are bright colors in terms of costumes, but outside of that the movie leans much more heavily towards the visual aesthetic of Captain America than Guardians of the Galaxy or Thor: Ragnarok. Things look kind of blandly typical in Wakanda with science that has a visual texture that feels a whole lot like Tony Stark's tech that undermines the idea that Wakanda's science is all that advanced. It could have done better with a bigger embrace of the outlandish, though the waterfalls and costumes do provide some visual flair in an otherwise bland soup.",4
"I apparently didn't read enough about this prior to viewing it. I thought it was going to be a dark comedy about pretentiousness, but instead I watched a batty horror film that ultimately was a serious disappointment. It has its virtues, primarily some of the cast, particularly the three principals, Fiennes, Taylor-Joy and Hoult. Fiennes is sharp, but Taylor-Joy is sharper and Hoult is his usual excellent self in a role of an insipidly horrible, though charming, human being. His character is also, after all is said and done, not remotely believable. The setup of the rich going to an island for a private dinner only to find horrific events and fates awaiting them is an original and interesting one, but their compliance for what awaits them, including one knowing it in advance, is beyond any logic and even in horror films some reflection of reality is necessary to cause care or concern. There is no logic here. They just sit, as did I, and none of us were happy by the time this ended. Actually, earlier than that for this very good-looking film that is at least different, though with mostly irritating characters.",4
I was born in a hard scrabble Chicago neighborhood. My immigrant grandparents instilled hard work ethics to my parents which trickled down to us. Our escape was that occasional quarter that got us to the movies. But I will never see the candy store on the corner or the parking lot we hung out at on the big screen! Cause I'm not Steven Spielberg! The life stories of the artists elite! Roma was one and last year we had Belfast. It must feel so exhilarating to see your life story on the big screen! Steven Spielberg...im glad you became the Director you are.. but unfortunately this film will be on the short list..,6
"My daughter purchased this movie for my 7 yr old granddaughter. We all sat down to watch the movie and very soon it was apparent this was Not for young children! Yrs it's rated PG-13. I have to ask why would Mattel allow this movie to be made in a fashion other than 'G' rating. I would think most girls who play with dolls are fairly young. I've never commented on a movie before. I'm certainly aware the world and society has changed. I just do not understand why they found it necessary to put the sexual innuendos in this movie! I guess I feel like children should be children.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE FOR A YOUNG CHILD.....!",1
"Terrible movie, marvel is trying way too hard to incorporate different characters. It was confusing and some scenes didn't even make sense. Wanda's acting was poor and overall was a weak storyline. Would not recommend.",3
"Venom 2 = 4/10

Positive:

-the dialogues between Venom and Eddi Brock are incredibly funny and charming

-The CGI and design of the symbiotes is really cool and scary, especially Carnage looks great

-The fights and action with the symbiote is extremely fun and brutal

Negative:

-The two antagonists, Cletus Kasady and Frances Barrison, are awful and downright awkward and childish, plus they have absolutely no chemistry between them. It's sad that a character as good as Carnage was wasted in such a mess.

-The story is a single mess and squeezes a bunch of characters and interesting approaches into a film that is way too short. So no moment gets time to breathe and no character gets time to develop depth

-The film is a loveless studio product and you can tell that at every point as it is crammed full of unnecessary characters, allusions and teasers to other films

Conclusion: The film has wasted all its potential. It looks good and is also very entertaining at times, but then you realize how this film was cut to pieces so that there is no depth or a good story and everything remains just a heartless studio product.",4

"My expectations going into this were mid-range, having seen the first movie a few times and feeling that fell just a bit short of a really good whodunit. I was immediately distracted by the bad acting (I don't remember Kate Hudson being this bad?), and Edward Norton and Daniel Craig could barely hold them up (maybe the budget was blown mostly on them). I found myself not caring who did it and stayed until the end as it all unraveled into stupidness. This needed better character actors and a more believable foundation-everyone seemed glee-ridden to get the box from Miles but then resentment at being beholden to him later on as things (awkwardly and clumsily and ham-handedly) unfolded. Again, better actors could have delivered here) Solid idea, bad supporting cast and a collapse at the end that really sunk it for me.",5
A rating of over 8 is definitely overrated. It is entertaining but slow. It loses steam at a lot of places where you would want to give up watching this.,7
"The MI franchise has long lost its shine but this was easily the worst of them all. A horrible script, terrible acting by practically everyone (most annoying the Danish guy Delbruuk), full of clichés (the plutonium deal in the dark tunnel in Berlin like this is some 60s spy thriller), over the top video game style camera work and a really bad score. And what in the world drove CNNs Wolf Blitzer to ruin his credibility with his cameo appearance. This is a movie that should have never been made. Ridiculously stupid and completely forgettable. Glad I saw it on OSN and didn't pay a penny. If so I would have gladly left the theatre after the first 20 mins. Tom Cruise: time to call it quits.",1
"This movie is absolute masterpiece in the term of CGI. But that's all. Other than that, everything is poor and really disappointing even for Marvel standards. It has very poor story telling terrible directing and poor story. To much moral cliches are included which will really bore you.

All in all, apart from the computer work, it's a below average teenage film. I was amazed by high rankings and was expecting something like infinity war, at least something like avengers but got very disappointed after watching this childish movie.",4
I only saw this movie for Ryan gosling and I was not disappointed. Bro brought the humor into this movie like he does with every movie that he is in. His performance was impeccable and kenough. To be fair I was a bit high so I was laughing a lot in the theatres and I was with my gf also seeing the movie. And I just love how Ryan aka ken brought the character to life in a special way. And of course the song he made is just absolutely wonderful in everyway. One of his best performances ever highly recommend for kids and for families to go and enjoy themselves. As Ryan gosling would say I'm just Ken and I'm enough.,7

So instead of stopping it because I didn't want the remote to get food/condiments on it I figured I would just stop it after I was done chowing down. I couldn't stop watching it. Edge of your seat plot and brilliant acting by damn near every character. Yes, mum!",8
"I finished watching the Six Thatchers and i am worried, really worried.

When this show first aired it was a breath of fresh air. A well-written,well-acted, well-directed, well-produced show. Interesting story lines brought from the past into the present. I noticed something going wrong when the writers and producers thought that the Moriarty storyline and the Mary storyline was becoming more prominent then the good old fashioned just solve a mystery story lines.

I for one do no not watch this show for the political intrigues or the is he dead or isn't he. I just want to watch a mystery being solved by Sherlock. I do no not want to see an actress play an mercenary when clearly the actress playing Mary could never ever be such a person.

I think this is the decline of the series alas. Why don't producers and writers just keep a good thing going but instead think they can reinvent the wheel? What do people love about Sherlock Holmes? His ability to be Sherlock Holmes.

This is obviously not a bad show, i loved the first 2 seasons, was not sure about the third and the fourth started badly for me",8
"This series is by far the best ever counter terrorist action produced. Not as fast packed as your every day average Hollywood movie, and not so heavy on the special effect; but instead an extremely cleverly written script, with a fantastically thought out plot. No gun fights from 10 feet that last 20 minutes, just clear cut, smooth and realistic action. Kiefer Sutherland (as Jack Bauer The Star) also performs his best acting work yet, completely convincing you that he is frantic, extremely angry and at the same time a bit of a loose cannon and a bit unpredictable. This series will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. A word to the wise though, ""Buy it on DVD"", because if your anything like me, you won't be able to wait a week each time to see the next one and if you miss one, your interest will drop substantially. When I saw this on TV I didn't really get Interested in it because I missed a lot of them and lost the plot, but once I'd bought it on DVD I was hooked. I now own all four seasons and anxiously await the fifth. To sum up, this series is addictive like a hard drug.",10
"Having realized i have rated 1679 movies on IMDb without a single review, i think it's time to scrap this one of my bucket list. I had high hopes for this film, so why not use Intersteller for my virgin review.

What the film does well:Characters are fleshed out, nice slow burning buildup for the first hour. Captures the isolation of space and the suspense of finding foreign planets. Interesting moral dilemmas.

What the film does poorly: The last 30 minutes and the big reveal is very unimpressive and feels like a cop out. The story could have gone in so many other different directions, all of them more intriguing.

Going to keep this review spoiler free, there are a lot of bad story elements or design choices i would like to go into detail on.

All in all, a good popcorn flick. A missed opportunity, just like Gravity.

Kubrick and 2001 is still the go to movie for space exploration.",7
"A Netflix Original that seems like a continuation of the Fargo saga. Quirky characters, inept villains, flashbacks to flesh out the story and revealing an ending at the beginning. Add in some time travel and superheroes to make for an interesting series.",6
Anybody that claims this movie is intense should stop watching movies all together,2
"Three stars, because it did have a few good original jokes and the production was on par for a Hollywood movie.... unfortunately, nothing else about this movie was good.

Just another political satire movie for??? Kids maybe?",3
"Keept sleeping after every 10 mins. Entire story is filled with plotholes, PJs and stereotypes.",1
"Watched this years ago and though it was for kids, don't even think I finished the first season. I've changed my review based on one thing. I'm now watching it with my 10 year old daughter and she loved it, first kind of thing she's seen like this. So if your going to watch it, watch it with someone younger. Hope this helps.",7
"Short and to the point it was a lazy effort. Decimating beloved characters Thor and Hulk and using a weak ""Oceans 11"" plot to make it seem clever did not work. I watched it once and have yet to get over it.",3
"This movie is a bit of a let down. Overall a reasonable story that unfolds, and it keeps you interested. The ensemble cast is really cool, Ana De Armas does a great job, as does Chris Evans and Chris Plummer. Almost everyone is fun to watch... other than Daniel Craig. He was obviously trying a new twist for his character and it flops big-time. His accent is terrible, not believable at all! This is the first movie I've watched with him in it where I hated him. His South African accent in Munich was on point, so he can do a foreign accent. But this one just sucks and to be honest, his accent alone spoiled this whole movie for me. If you can get past the way he talks, you'll probably really enjoy this film. It isn't taxing, just a fun story that's nothing too original or crazy. Cheers.",6
"Venom is a complete mess!

Let's start with some positives shall we? This movie feauters one of the best action sequences of the year so far (nothing compared to anything in Mission: Impossible - Fallout but still impressive) where Eddie Brock (Hardy) escapes his persucers on a moterbike aided by the abliities of Venom. After a pretty slow bulid up this scene really beagn to peak my intrest and get me ingaged in the film, despite obvious cuts around the more violent moments this was a real highlight.

It's a shame that the rest of the film cannont live up to this however, the paper thin plot moves at a snail's pace, any attempt at horror is lost in the edit and the massive CGI mess of a finale is extermly difficult to follow and extemly dull to watch.

Riz Ahmed is terribly miss cast as a suposedly threatening villain and Michelle Williams plays the same shell of a character that she has been stuck playing for years. this cast desevers so much better than this and so does the character.

I really don't have to much else to add about this film, it's just pretty boring. Honestly just watch Spider-Man 3 again!",4
"It used to be a good these last two seasons have just gotten way, way off in story lines. Getting worse, the writting has fallen off, the acting is always good, but seems as if though they need to get back on track and follow along with the major movies..........",5
"Solomon Northrup was a man living in upstate New York in 1841 who was abducted by slave traders and brought south to work on various plantations. Chiwetel Ejiofor is spectacular in the lead role and deserving of an Oscar for best actor. The whippings and horrible conditions of the slaves is almost too much to watch. This is a long and draining experience for the entire two hours and fifteen minute running time. The entire cast is exceptional but be prepared to be emotionally exhausted in the end. Director McQueen has a keen eye for detail but sometimes lingers a bit longer then necessary at times. His previous efforts, Hunger and Shame were guilty of similar excesses. Overall, 12 Years a Slave is McQueen's best film.",8
"Telling a coherent story and building emotional connections with the audience are at the bottom of the list for this twisted raunchy trek through what is essentially one long stylized action scene. Combining themes from horror genres and low-brow humour, this is one film that attempts to mash a Christmas carol with nihilism and sex toys.

The writing is deliberately bizarre, with a story that is too convoluted for most, but don't mistake this for a deep philosophical film, nay, to the contrary, it has a social agenda (It's hard to find a film that doesn't these days). If you find plot devices like people having to do statistically improbable things like inserting a butt plug in the middle of a fight scene, or beating someone with a pair of oversized artificial genitalia funny, then by all means you may find this entertaining. If however you find such things deeply offensive, or pretentious, then this is one film probably left alone.",3
"How can I put this.... oh yeah this show is the show of the century, this show has 80s references, humour, darkness and emotion, HELL I CAN'T WAIT FOR Stranger Things 3 to come, I can;t wait to see what goes down in Starcourt in July, also the 1st and 2nd seasons don't disappoint, if you haven't watched this, please watch this, the Duffer Bros made the most original thing ever.",9
"This is 2018 propaganda of trying to sell girls how cool STEM is to study and one day be a STEM professional. Completely 100% different from the original's message. Unfortunately, you are not watching a quality show with great writing and production. You are watching a propaganda machine of empowering girls into STEM education with the aim of belittling men and boys and try to prove that men and boys have no place on a space vessel. Why not just create a brand new show for this type of propaganda?

I would personally debate the writers and creators of this show to prove me wrong. Anyone with half a brain knows that men dominate STEM. Most professions are born of a curiosity and enjoyment factor.

Girls read fantasy books growing up and grow up wishing to live in their books. Boys are doing things like fixing their bicycles and building forts and wishing to learn how to build things while growing up (whether physical or electronic).

Super STEM mom who wants to divorce her husband for being in the military and re-enlisting for his cause? check. Mary sue 18 yr old doctor AND step daughter to the father? check. Smart mouthed STEM daughter? check. All females belittling the men? check. Wimpy whiney boy with no development of defeating his own fears? check. Cunning druggie woman? check. Literally, this is what the writers did when they sat down to discuss the character backgrounds. Pass.",3
"Cliche, upper-caste surnames of protagonists and character.",1
2 wasted hours. From the first minute a hyperbole of stress and predictable situations. Like watching an episode of Hard core Pawn at 100x speed.,2
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, directed by David Yates, was a highly anticipated film, with some great moments, but David Yates seemed to have missed on the potential this film had, making it feel somewhat underwhelming. The way the film was structured was pretty messy, because they felt the need to split this into two films. Most events felt underdeveloped and unfinished, having no real pay off, because they needed to fit so much into this film, for Part 2 to work the way they wanted it to. Part 1 can only stand on it's own, due to the tie ins from the previous films, because it took all of the set up hits, to create just an action-packed finale. When Yates went off the source material, that's where the film takes it's dips. The stuff he throws in, just feels like unnecessary filler, because it has no real meaning to what's going on. Other than that, David Yates managed to stay fairly true to the source material, creating a nice mystery, with great stakes, and a really intriguing adventure. The pacing of the film as fine at first, then became more of a slowburn film, and it threw off the excitement this film had to offer. The tone Yates set was probably one of the darkest, and unsettling yet, almost having a slight horror vibe.

If you love all of the characters of Harry Potter, you're going to have a good time with this film! David Yates incorporates a decent amount of team chemistry, but really focuses on individual motives, and it helped drive the film. The villains are now a huge presence in the films, and they're all utilized in a great way, keeping the tention and stakes high at all times. The only issues I had with some of the main characters, there were some forced conflicts and drama, that dragged on for too long, while having some inconsistencies with some of the motives.

The magic and action of the film was so much fun! There were countless enjoyable sequences, where you can feel that the teams, both, behind, and in front of the camera, are feeling extremely comfortable with their abilities to perform.

Overall, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, has their fair share of issues, but there was just enough enjoyable moments to keep this film afloat.

*stand alone rating- 6/10*",7
If the movie is real time with an 'uncut' shot how did he walk 9 miles in 2 hours? Kinda dumb and light on action. It was like watching someone else play a video game.,5
I was expecting too much for this movie but it was disappointing and boring. The story is good but the way of storytelling is just too boring.,7
"I was really overwhelmed, I got to say.

I'd read this book when I was like 15 and now I'm almost 20. When I first read this story, I was really shocked though I knew things like this happened sometimes. But the author just wrote it down like somebody who's actually IN it. Then I realized that everyone had been in those bullying things. And then we grown.

The Netflix film adapted the book into a really nice way. I like those scene makes the audience feels like the past was weaved in with the present, and how Clay sometimes sees illusions of the present. The actors and actresses are all great. They really touched me and convinced me that they are truly that person they were acting. I can't described how overwhelmed I am now. (I finished the series like half an hour ago. I got here immediately to write down the feelings I had after the moment I closed the Netflix page:-O)

This series is highly recommended by me. And I hope you all can watch the behind-the-scene video as well, which is named as ""Beyond the Reasons""(I think.) The meanings behind this series is so huge and meaningful that I wish you all could get it, instead of just watch the films and over it.",9
"They may have split in real life but Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapur's reel love story Jab We Met is a cute film, and is sure to touch the hearts of those in love.

The film starts with Geet (Kareena), a Sikh who talks nonstop. She embarks on a train journey from Mumbai to her hometown Bhatinda. On the way, she runs into Aditya Kashyap (Shahid), a young man disillusioned with life after being dumped by his girlfriend. To make matters worse, even his business is going nowhere.

He's on the verge of ending his life when Geet comes into his life. She ends up missing her train while trying to get him on the train.

The thought does cross your mind, that why would she do that for a stranger. But then again, we're watching a Bollywood film.

Geet then informs Aditya that it is his responsibility to take her to Bhatinda, as she missed the train because of him. What follows next is a journey across picturesque landscapes where the two discover each other and understand the meaning of love and friendship.

Aditya learns that Geet is in love with one Anshuman but her family is against their union.

After reaching Bhatinda, you feel the plot has been lifted straight out of the Hollywood film, A Walk in the Clouds, though director Imtiaz Ali also adds Yash Chopra's 'Punjabisation'.

Aditya promises to help unite Geet with Anshuman, even though he falls in love with her.

Post-interval, we're introduced to a very new Aditya, who becomes a big businessman. And this is one of the film's flaws. The change is too abrupt, and it is difficult to connect the first half with the second.

But besides that, Jab We Met is a fun film, with quite a few moments worth watching.

Though Kareena is loud at times, she is a treat to watch -- funny and full of life. She gets to mouth hilarious lines like, 'Bachpan se mujhe shaadi karne ka bahut shauk tha.' Shahid, on other hand, acts composed and provides a perfect foil to the Kareena's bubbly character.

Pritam's music also enhances the film. Lyricist Irshad Kamil deserves a special mention for the song, Yeh Ishq Hai.",10

This web series portray the condition of students especially those who study from the hostel and I liked it very much. New story Waiting for season 2,8
"Well the writing is weak, the premise is derivative, the pervy-gross-out factor is high for something pitched to mid-teens, and continuity is insultingly sloppy (dude had his genitals exploded one day and he's walking around causing trouble the next -- come on).

On the other hand, props to the producers for ensuring substantial representation of trans actors such as Derek Luh, Maddie Phillips and Lizze Broadway.

Also on the positive side, despite the first season being kind of a bore, at least the final cliff-hanger show some promise for the next season (if there is one). Time will tell, I guess.",4

The story has some interesting parts and some boring parts. I liked the chemistry between Sam and Bucky. Zemo steals the show whenever he is in a scene. The Flag smasher are really boring and uninteresting. John Walker is a fascinating character. I hope they use him good in the future.,7
"Netflix has once again released a series that has incredible potential, but has been undermined by horrible writing and extremely weak casting choices. Henry Cavill was an inspired choice as Geralt of Rivia, and obviously brings a lot of knowledge and fondness to the role. He gives the series a luster that is unfortunately quickly dimmed by the horribly dimwitted writing. Eels??? What is with the Eels??? Note: that didn't need a spoiler alert. If you've seen the series, you'll know what I am talking about, and if you haven't, you will know when you witness that silly travesty.

The sets are lush and well done, the costumes are good, and the music fits well with the setting. The exception to the music is when Dandelion goes from Medival to something akin to ""Pop Harp"". Grating doesn't even begin to describe it. I did like the action scenes, as Henry Cavill is very believable as a athletic monster slayer.

So overall, I give a 9 to Cavill and the great atmosphere of the series. The supporting cast are sporadic and generally weak, and rate no more than a 5 or 6. The writing, and in particular the scenes added to the script that were never in the original books, was extremely weak, and garnered no more than a 2 or at the most 3. I gave the show a 6. Mildly entertaining, but falls far short of the original books and the three Witcher games.",6
"Was not sure what to expect. I think Andie M and James S gave brilliant performances and one couldn't enjoy watching them more. Andi as Ann did a great job of seeming lost yet strong. Spader as Graham gave me the chills, he was so vulnerable, open, and endearing. I loved how he refused to hide his true persona. As for L. San Giacomo she was alright, worked well with the material she had, ditto for Gallagher as Jon. See this first Sodebergh film and you won't be disappointed.",9
"I have always enjoyed watching pos-apocalyptic movies or shows. As far as zombie fiction ""Train to Busan"", ""Kingdom"" ""The Walking Dead"" were interestingly carried out.

I was expecting something new in this series but have already seen 4 episodes and so far down hill. Another road movie with emotional and bad guys interruptions. The Cordyceps fungus concept is interesting, though.

Characters: Joel is ok, Ellie is annoying ( they should have used Nico Parker for her role and Bella Ramsey as Joel's daughter).

Nevertheless, will continue to watch each episode and hope there's a twist in the plot.",7
"I like this show but I don't love it. My main complaint is how The Punisher is portrayed in this version. He acts like an angry Neanderthal with PTSD. Now before people spit out their drinks and $&@# their pants over what I just said let me be clear; The way he acts makes sense given what's happen to him. I just don't like Jon Bernthal's rendition of it. My favorite portrayal of The Punisher was played by Thomas Jane. He was cold, calculating, and vengeful but he kept a cool head. He didn't fly off the handle in an insane rage like Jon Bernthal does. (Which, by the way, Jon Bernthal always seems to do in every movie he's in.) He just doesn't seem as smart as Thomas Jane's Punisher. He comes off more as a angry dumb grunt then a methodical, lethal, intelligent, special forces killer. Like I said, Jon's portrail is fine. It makes sense. I understand why people like it. It's just not my cup of tea.",4
Agree with most of the negative reviews. Loki is wasted in this rubbish show that is badly written and the story is dull. Not worth the time watching and won't watch a second series. So far out of all the Marvel shows on Disney+ this is the best one which isn't saying much.,1
"Panchayat is a heartwarming and hilarious comedy-drama that captures the journey of Abhishek Tripathi, an engineering graduate who reluctantly takes a job as secretary of a panchayat office in a remote village in Uttar Pradesh.

Abhishek is initially miserable in his new surroundings. He is surrounded by eccentric villagers who have no concept of city life, and he longs to return to his old life in the city. However, as he gets to know the villagers, he begins to see the beauty in their simple way of life. He also starts to realize that he has a lot to learn from them.

Panchayat is a refreshing change from the usual Bollywood fare. It is a realistic and relatable depiction of rural India, and it does not shy away from showing the challenges that people in rural areas face. However, the series also has a lot of heart, and it is full of heartwarming moments that will leave you feeling good.

The acting in Panchayat is excellent. Jitendra Kumar is perfectly cast as Abhishek, and he delivers a nuanced and charming performance. The supporting cast is also very good, and they all bring their characters to life.

The writing in Panchayat is sharp and witty, and the dialogue is full of quotable lines. The series also has a great sense of humor, and it will have you laughing out loud throughout.

Overall, Panchayat is a fantastic web series that is sure to entertain and enlighten you. It is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys heartwarming comedies or realistic depictions of rural India.

Here are some of the things that I liked about the series:

The characters are relatable and well-developed.

The humor is sharp and witty.

The writing is realistic and insightful.

The series is heartwarming and uplifting.

I would definitely recommend Panchayat to anyone who enjoys heartwarming comedies or realistic depictions of rural India.",9
This is a very campy and genuine show with a top notch musical score.,10
"I´m happy to watch my progress everyday of film archives by rating all the films I´ve watched during my 18 years, but when it belongs to reviews i just wanna talk about those special picks i want to discuss, weither is a bad or a good reason, and without a doubt Kung Fu Hustle is truly a very good reason

Kung Fu Hustle was one of my favorite films when i was a kid, and still now i love this film it´s the perfect balance of comedy, tragedy, action and drama that Jackie Chan never made and never will, Stephen Chow explotes the absurdity of Chinese humor on a high note without having to make his characters behave like monkeys like Hong Kong´s 80s B comedic cinema, he humanize his characters instead and gives them a development and also goals to reach and the consequences of those goals.

Kung Fu Hustle should be watched by everyone, it´s an iconic film even better than Shaolin Soccer and in my personal opinion the best tribute (Without being a Wu Xia) of the greatest of all time: Bruce Lee",9
"The moment the movies start, Iron Man's epic vibe gets the viewers' attention. You can't go wrong with AC/DC+Iron Man. His entrance at the Expo was in character and they play more to this side of him during the movie. This is mainly because he is dying and deciding to act on every impulse he has. This included entering a race, which leads to his greatest suit up scene. Another great scene that isn't fighting is his press conference one that has pay off in the end with the pinning. He is the man that has a clever remark to everything people throw at him and is shows here. And I love how they constantly interrupt each other like the real world. Downey gives his all in his role and this alone can carry a movie not having a complex plot. Scarlett Johansson enter the MCU in this movie and does an excellent job. She plays the beautiful but unable to read agent exactly how it should be. Her fight choreography for her fight scenes at the end came out smoothly and established her character as one fun to watch on screen.

The one character I don't like is Rhodey. I see him not as Tony's best friend but rather the guy that is monitoring him all the time and become the friendly acquaintance. I like the first guy more but understand he asked for too much money for a side character. This guy steals Tony's suit. There is no arguing it. I don't care that it was bad publicity for Tony to be drunk. It was the man's birthday, and one that he thought would be his last. Rhodey loves complaining and even makes fun of Thor in Endgame when he is trying to redeem himself by sacrificing himself with the snap. And also, I did love how Tony dominated him even though he was drunk with Another One Bites The Dust playing in the background. I though the scene where they shot each other's blast was a good idea and a unique way to end a boss fight. As expected, the cgi robot fight was entertaining and fun to watch as Tony showed off all his gadgets. This movie also contains another great experiment scene with him constructing a new element. I loved this scene just like I did him building his armor in the first film. The suits in this movie look great for Iron Man, War Machine, and Black Widow. I did wish they used Tony's grey and red armor more or in the future but at least it was used in good scene. There wasn't crazy character development in this as Tony took a couple steps back due to the thought he was dying. But by the end he gets back to being a motivated hero. Downey kills it again and even Elon Musk was in this one.",10
"It's a horrible misrepresentation of the country in front of the world by a cast which isn't even 1% Bangladeshi. People abroad don't know a whole lot about Dhaka, but after they watch this movie, they might get the wrong impression that Dhaka lacks law enforcement and is filled with violence.",1
"Guys its a super movie, with a super story. keep you not to take your face off screen till the end . Must watxh filim for all",10
"Although promising at the beginning, the whole series turned into a well-seen apocalyptic zombie story with a very thin and unconvincing plot. The acting was even worse.

The only thing that can be praised is a very good production in which a lot of resources have obviously been invested.

The series is full of stereotypes (brave invincible heroes, gay couples, determined women, good marginals, etc.) but is completely unconvincing in the very causes of the disaster as well as the organization of people in the post-apocalyptic time. Some episodes are obviously thrown in just to fill in the gaps as the whole story can be reduced to the journey of the main characters and the relationships between them (often pushed to the point of absurdity in an attempt to be original). None of the main characters arouse sympathy and are often very irritating.

The ending is completely nonsensical and feels like a video game, except that the game probably could have had a smarter ending. Also, no message can be read from the entire series (that was probably not the intention either), but I watched all the episodes and in the end I am convinced that I could have spent my time more wisely.",3
Amazing movie! i was so happy to see again this movie,9
"Very few movies are so good in all departments.

Script - Engaging, real, entertaining

Direction - Flawless

Dialogues - Cream of the movie (Go just for the dialogs alone if not anything else)

Performance - Outstanding from all actors. It never looks like acting. So real

Music - Heart of the storytelling. Compliments way too well. Love you Sneha

Cinematography - Best visuals possible for the terrain of wasseypur. It transports you to that place",10
"Doug Liman (Swingers, Edge of Tomorrow, Bourne) is one of those directors who's built a career on confident and skilled filmmaking without actually having much in the way of a specific voice. American Made fits that resume perfectly. He takes some familiar themes (love of money is the root of all evil, dishonesty inherent in the war on drugs) and a true American story, then molds into them perfectly. It gives us a Scorsese-like knock-off that isn't terribly original but is still a solid version of an all-too-true corruption story. Cruise stars as Barry Seal, a TWA pilot in the 1980s who is recruited by the CIA to be a courier for their dealings with Central American leaders, before becoming a drug runner. With intentionally rudimentary animation, edits to old news footage, and general 1980s filmmaking tendencies, it's full of great style and appreciated detail. The plane flying is fantastic, the costuming is sweaty and authentic, and the cash and throwing motifs are prevalent and effective. When Seal is slowly covered over by piles of cash, we get the idea pretty quickly that we are watching a guy get suffocated by his own desires. There's a lot packed into the film, and this is one of those rare occurrences in which I think this would be helped by being about an hour longer. While the details of the story are well covered, the characters, their motivations and their personalities get a bit looked over. Instead of being a full engrossing narrative, it comes off more like an information document. Nonetheless, American Made is a funny, cool and intriguing tale about governmental overreach and misappropriated power.",7
"Who the hell wrote this? Not funny at all. Flat dialog flat story Stupid accents nothing to do with German accent Badly made characters. This movie worth not a penny.

I regret to watch

Director/writer/and goofy adolf is terrible bad:( The basic idea could be great but he has not too good. Way more opportunities in this film than a Hollywood mind can ever realize. Same this material wasted.

Thomasin McKenzie has real talent, She act so well. Such a waste her talent for this movie. Feel sorry for her. Only reason have not stopped to watch after 30 minutes is her play.

I dont understand the other actors and actresses. What are they doing in this film? They just there but no action. No fun, no passion.

Some action from Scarlet J but few seconds later killed by the bad movie.

3 good joke in the entire movie.

Some parts could be moving but immediately killed by bad director and wrong characters.

As always, it could be a great movie of Hollywood dont ever touch it.",1
"Let me be frank I had no intention of watching this movie, the only reason I watched this movie was because my family dragged me to it. I am very apprehensive about watching dramas and ever since Mani Ratnam denied that this movie is based on Dhirubhai Ambani and named the character Guru I was sure I wasn't going to watch this film.

The movie starts out OK enough, 15 mins into the movie you that Mani was lying and this movie is in fact completely based on Dhirubhai's life.

The movie shows early signs of trying to be a formula flick though, WTF is an item-number doing in this film. Nevermind that, to add to itwe have the signature Mani Ratnam entry for the heroine with the song and dance (think Roja) and that to within 5-10 mins of the item-number what the hell.

Still the first half entertains certain parts of his life have been whitewashed and modified to avoid lawsuits. For example Dhirubhai by his own admission made his fortune in Aden, Yemen not in the spice market but by smuggling Yemeni coins that contained silver at that time, he claims he made lakhs but came back to India with only 15,000 (did he use that money to bribe or blew it up god knows).

Anyway the movie moves at a fast pace and even though you know the eventual outcome you want Guru to succeed and thats the biggest victory for the movie in the first half.

You are willing to forget the songs,and the whitewashed storyline (maybe he did it because there was probably no way he could have used Dhiru's real name and shown anything but Superman, hence the change of minor details).

You give him the benefit of the doubt and instead go with the flow of the movie, wishing from your heart that Guru wins.

But the second half is a different ballgame. You are suddenly distracted by a Love Story involving the side characters (as if the extra-sweet and obviously fictitious scenes between Abhishek and Ash weren't enough).

So here we have a man struggling with morality, on war with his godfather and in the middle of it we have two minor characters kissing in the rain .

And how is this scene important to the movie??

To add to that you have couple of more songs, by the end of it, the supposedly most stirring scene of the movie,towards the end, ends up nothing more than a damp squib.

You can literally feel the pulse of the audience dip after every song in the second half(which are far from good anyway what happened Mr. Rahman). A lot of the good done in the first half is washed away by the end of the movie.

The acting of the movie is great throughout.Abhishek Bachan as expected steals the show and this is completely his movie and probably the first time he has carried an entire movie on his shoulders, hats of to him.

On the other hand Ash did an ordinary job somehow she is not able to strike a chord with the audience,maybe be the fantastic acting all around her had something to do with it.

Mithun was also brilliant giving a stellar performance as the powerful,idealistic yet humble publisher. Its great that he has decided to return to A-list films, we need other great actors of yesteryear's to come forward do roles that suit their age.

Technically the film was nothing special(wasn't required anyway) yet the direction, cinematography etc met the standards of an A-list film.

Another glaring flaw of the movie was that even though we spent 3 hours with the character we were still shown only a whitewashed uni-dimensional character, the fact that Guru was ruthless and corrupt and often put portrayed that he was doing things for the public good but instead did it mainly for his own (anyone who's owned a reliance will know what I'm talking about he-he).

His corrupt practices we mentioned but in a passing manner inter-spread with the hyper-annoying love story. I mean we love the guy and we're not going to stop loving him just because you show us his other side, no ones perfect, it didn't make sense to only mention his malpractices and then not show us that element of his character.

However the most enduring fact about the movie is that At least ITS FULLY ORIGINAL, no rehash of dozen English and Hindi movies here. Indian Cinema is at a loss for ideas and any movie with this amount of originality gets great bonus points for attempt I may not appreciate biopics in general but I really appreciated the originality.

In all a good ORIGINAL movie that looses out in the second half but is worth watching if your looking for some family entertainment. Not the kind of movie you want to see with your friends (if you don't like such movies/Hindi movies etc allow yourself to be forced for this one, use the credit to get yourself out of watching movies like Ankahee).

-s uni-dimensional portrayal, boring second half, distracting and ordinary songs (at best), unnecessary side love story (atleast no songs).

+/-s Ash (i feel shes better of getting married and claiming she left on top),Abisheks good but round the clock publicity and announcement of marriage etc I've already overdosed.MOVIE Doesn't TAKE A STAND.

+s super acting all around, Abhishek B, FINALLY AN ORIGINAL FILM, meets industry standards (techinically), many moments mainly in the first half that connect you to the movie.

total 7+1/10 (the one is for the original attempt in absolute terms this movie is more of seven, this movie will be better remembered for the marriage announcement and the fact that Abhishek proved his mettle, than for the movie itself).",8
They forgot add a end... I felt uncomfortable with the cast (Johnny Depp)... it was just cash put in trash... The popcorn was good :),2
"""Venom: Let There Be Carnage"" is the sequel to 2018's ""Venom"". A brain-consuming extraterrestrial symbiote attempts to hold its individuality withinside the center of a rocky home partnership.

""Venom: Let There Be Carnage"" is the handiest ninety mins long, however, it plows thru that plot like a mack truck. Tom Hardy resources the voice of Venom, and his severe 1990s-soda-commercial-announcer transport in no way stops being funny. Venom shouts the whole lot he says with a happy passion, regardless of the context.

""Venom: Let There Be Carnage"" is an exceptionally soft contemporary-day love tale with oodles of sympathy for anyone withinside the tale. For a film this is half-screaming, half-murdering, and all schlock, it is soft and lovely. And all of the different monsters.

""Venom: Let There Be Carnage"" is directed with the aid of using Andy Serkis, first-rate recognized for ""Lord of the Rings"" and ""Planet of the Apes"" performances. He makes use of computer-generated imagery to beautify old-fashioned acting, and vice-versa to create a brand new hybrid model of each artwork form. The plot is stored to a minimum, and the relationships are withinside the foreground.

""Venom: Let There Be Carnage"" is a formidable and brisk superhero tale. It crams a variety of film into an hour and a half, however, it would not experience find it irresistible had to be longer. It simply appears like we want extra films to find it irresistible.",5
"So tired of shows with spoken audio that is extremely low so that you have to jack up the volume to hear it, then when an action sequence or music plays it blows your eardrums. Stopped watching due to this. I'm not going to adjust the volume constantly during a series. And no it's not my audio. There are plenty of series and movies that do not do this.",1
"With likeable leads, gorgeous scenery and A list supporting cast how could this movie not be good? The jokes just fall flat after the first third. At first it's fairly cute and funny initially on the plane and yacht then as the murder mystery unfolds and they start sleuthing the jokes seem strained.

The British supporting cast are good but under used. Gemma is pretty, Luke looks suitably slimy, David Walliams is under used.

Jennifer is fine as always. Adam doesn't dominate he doesn't have more than a few funny lines.

OK for one watch.",4
"It was OK, but it loses -1 star for product placement. -1 star for the product to be a sexist & offensive product and the gratuitous scenes featuring it were nothing more than ads.

Otherwise, it's about as exciting as you might think a tale of a ""runaway"" train carrying chemicals speeding towards town can be.

I admit it, I watched it because Denzel Washington was in it, and because I've liked some of Tony Scott's other work - but I'm not a huge fan of the disaster genre.

Characters are pretty lightly developed - older experienced guy being forced out so company can make money by not paying him full retirement & using lower paid people. Earnest & smart people vs. the greedy corporates who are making decisions based on profit/loss calculations alone.

The only mildly interesting character development subplot was the Chris Pine character who started out presented as a possible stalker/abuser.",5
"I have been amazed. The concept is really good, characters are almost all really developed, the story held the suspension of reality absolutely well. I do like it, it's involving and surprising. A MUST WATCH, like THE EXPANSE, for people who love sci-fi",9
From terrible to the worst movie ever made. Don't waste your time when if it's I Netflix.,1
In my opinion film is too long...but so excited.... Sandra bullock has a.good performance You can watch this film this time isnt waste time,7
"Too addicting unfortunately

I watched the video--2 or 4 episodes at a a time..I cannot imagine waiting a week for so little action in each episode. The other thing that is most prominent is that lots and lots of innocent bystanders, guards, secret agents, etc die in the process of protecting our main character's two family members. What about the families of these people? Spoiler: the basic premise of the plot is silly because the criminal Druzin is a hard boiled mass murderer, hence unlikely to be quite so sentimental and revengeful for losing his wife & daughter. And Jack takes ridiculous risks and puts others in danger to save his own wife & daughter--thereby disregarding the integrity of his dedication to the counter terrorism. Lots of plot surprises--which are fun and hold one still.",7
"This movie, although filmed incredibly well, fails to be moving because of how ridiculous it is. I do love the metaphor it tells about humanity and human emotion, however, they should have just made it a comedy. I found myself laughing at so many key moments that were trying to be artist or moving , but just flopped because it was about a freaking fish. also a lot of parts were very cheesy and predictable - it's basically la la land but with a fish. overall trying too hard to be artistic and profound.",4
"I ordered this movie for my 11 year old who grew up watching the show. I didn't expect a whole lot, but my kids and I loved the movie. The special effects were well done. The actor playing Venom was great. The script fleshed each out to a believable character with their own strengths and weaknesses. Good film for PG-13 family fun.",2
"Without a doubt, Coppola made four of the best films of the 70's. The Godfaher Part 1, Part 2, The Conversation and Apocalypse Now. Out of these, The Godfather Part 2 remains my favourite.

It continues the Corleone family tale, of greed and corruption and yet Part 2 adds another vein to the bloodstream of this biblical tale; the story of Vito Corleone and his arrival in New York. The cinematographer, Gordon Willis creates a sepia-washed dream of a New York. Every shot is sumptuous ad full of depth - the production value was a help too, with some of the most authentic streets scenes ever committed to film.

Though, as wonderful as the film looks, the acting is stellar to. De Niro completely transforms himself from the urban maniacs like Johnny from Mean Streets and Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver, to form Vito Corleone, the younger Marlon Brando. De Niro doesn't over cook the character, instead he simmers; his eyes tell two tales, one of being content, the other of contempt, for the killing of his family.

De Niro is backed up by great co-stars, such as Bruno Kirby who played the young Clemenza. The story itself in this section of the film is slow burning, much like the rest of the film, yet is here to serve a contrast to the story of Michael Corleone in Nevada.

This is the part in the trilogy where Michael transforms from the ""college boy"" and ""war hero"" of part 1, into the heartless, muted confusion that he embodies here. Pacino plays the part with ease and never goes wild and shout, much like his later work (Glengarry Glen Ross, Godfather Part 3...). Keaton is superb as the WASP wife, Kay, who tries to break free of the corruption she has married into. Cazale, who plays Fredo is wonderful too, a helpless, jealous character, who forms one of the best brother characters in film history. The co-stars are also great, with Strasberg as Hyman Roth.

Just as Michael's family is dissolving, Vito's is just beginning. The two fragments of the Corleone history run side by side to depict the downfall of Michael's character. Constantly trying to please his dead father, Michael talks of family, but doesn't understand how to sustain it.

A classic.",10
"Glass Onion, the sequel to 2019's Knives Out, has some of what made that movie great but overall feels like a let down.

The Mystery this time around is well told and keeps the viewer thinking but has far too many conveniences to be a truly enthralling mystery.

This movie has way more humor than the first and while it hits for the most part, it reaches a point where it gets to over the top for its own good and starts to effect the plot.

The social commentary that was in the first one is back as well and is still well done but the cast of characters are less interesting and layered.

The acting however is good and the movie is a fun time, it just feels overall like it was made as a spin-off Netflix movie as opposed to a full fledged sequel in the same vein as the first.",7
"I LOVE this show apart from one episode (which we do NOT talk about....ok...season 2 episode 7).

Oh! May 2022 what a time... amazing show with an amazing cast. Many people feel passionate about this show and I don't blame them, it's amazing and the aesthetics of the time periods are great. At no point did I thing the cgi was bad too.. come on though... Netflix originals can be bad! But watch this one I promise you will like it.

I wish they made more like this.... I neeeddd season 5 NOW! This show means a lot and watching it makes me feel happy! Which doesn't happen a lot with tv shows. Don't judge it. Just watch it..",9
"...Which is quite good, otherwise I might not have enjoyed ""Superbad"" as much as I did. Director Greg Mottola's new film ""Superbad"" is super-funny and super-good in a number of ways that I didn't think were possible. Part of it, I think, lies in the writing. ""Superbad"" is a well-written film, if nothing else. That praise should go to screenwriters Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Sure, their screenplay is vulgar and profane, but the actors carry it off in such a way that it becomes not only funny, but moving. It's two weeks before graduation and two high school seniors and lifelong best friends who are presumably named after the film's screenwriters - the foul-mouthed, out-going, and sex-crazed Seth (Jonah Hill) and the somewhat introverted, stalwart, and more cautious Evan (Michael Cera) - are facing the possibility of never seeing each other again when Evan and a third named Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) get accepted to Dartmouth while Seth's college plans are an uncertainty because he didn't get accepted. To make long stories short, Evan and Fogell are going to be rooming together at Dartmouth, which certainly makes Seth feel a little left out, like his best bud is bailing out on him. But ""Superbad's"" story gets underway when the two get invited to a party, where two girls - the cute Becca (Martha MacIsaac) and Jules (Emma Stone) - both of whom Evan and Seth are smitten with, respectively, are going to be. So, Seth and Evan are put on alcohol duty. Since, obviously, they're underage, they have to get Fogell (who has a fake ID) to go get the booze at a liquor store. Sounds easy enough, right? (If he doesn't get carded at the cash register first.) But a series of unusually comic events throw their plan into chaos, and wondering how they're going to get the booze for the girls they like, and save the party. On a side note, Fogell gets swept up with two police officers (Rogen himself and Bill Hader) who also proceed to show him the night of his life and recapture some youthful shenanigans themselves. ""Superbad"" is definitely not a movie children should see. With enough adult humor, profanity, and alcohol - all involving teenagers - you can bet this is a show for mature adults. Like I stated earlier, the film's greatest strength lies in the intelligence of its screenplay. From seeing the actors' performances, you understand the frustration the kids go through to simply have a good time before facing life's uncertainties as college freshmen and then later, as adults. Rogen and Goldberg's writing captures all of this perfectly, and the comic timing of the two lead actors in a number of comic scenes is nothing short of brilliant. The jokes fly fast, so does the adult humor and profanity, but ""Superbad"" is a super-cool teen flick, and bound to be yet another fun entry into the teen market.

10/10",10
"Dont try to get emotionally driven watching this film. Just take it as a pure action film, because you have seen similar plots before. Secondly, this is fictional, so dont try to relate the film with real representation of any location or any particular background. Just enjoy the action.",7
Amazing!! Couldnt stop watching it!! Everything about the how the show is filmed is beautiful,10
"Where the adventures of an alien life form from outer space known as ""Venom"", which is cohabiting in the body of previously unremarkable journalist Eddie Brock (played by Tom Hardy), continue. Eddie seems otherwise normal but when danger arises, Venom may protrude from his body or even transform him into Venom in order to deal with it. This time the plot concerns how the reckless actions of Venom gives rise to a new foe which scares even Venom himself. Why that fear should exist in him (it?) is glossed over in the film but perhaps is explained in some other medium in which the characters exists, like comics or whatever, so, in that sense, it excludes the casual viewer of this film.

The principal antagonist is Cletus Kasady (played by Woody Harrelson). With Frances Barrison (played by Naomi Harris), they are star-crossed lovers, following a well-worn trajectory: boy meets girl, girl is forced into high-security detention due to an X-Men kind of superhero ability, boy becomes even more of a mass murderer than he was before and...you can guess the rest, I'm sure.

I saw a trailer for this film in the cinema a few weeks back and it looked interesting enough to take a chance by seeing it, even though I hadn't seen the original film in this new franchise which is, no doubt, the origin story of the Brock/Venom pairing (not quite as formidable a pairing as Brock/Richards or Brock/Perkins but still). Generally I found the film amusing enough for the odd couple antics of Brock/Venom. Well, since I've never seen the TV series ""The odd couple"", maybe the better analogy is to invoke the antics of an old couple which bickers most of the time. Most of the humour comes from Venom but maybe I only understood what he said about two thirds of the time, due to the special effects applied to generate his voice. There's violence in the film but I don't remember it being too shocking (I saw this today), however, if you are squeamish, I suppose the appearance of Venom out of Brock could be a bit much for some although it's more anodyne body horror than anything else. Otherwise there's really not to much to wag your finger about. There was frequent talk of ""brains"" in the film but, again, any horror or violence is only intimated. The ""M"" rating the film has in Australia is appropriate.

If you can say that the narrative arc of Kasady and Barrison is shown here, maybe you can also say that other characters' origin stories as superpowered are also shown but once again, I'd guess that to get full value from those scenes, you'd need to be immersed in the lore of this world from other media, like comics etc.

Maybe others will get more value from the Kasady/Barrison narrative arc than I did and rate this film higher than me. Which is not to say that I don't realise that Kasady does raise a fair point to Brock late in the film. This film was entertaining enough but even the usual Marvel teaser during the end credits didn't leave me with the desire to see the next Venom film. I do have a vague recollection of that original film being received negatively by audiences and critics, which was confirmed by looking at the Wikipedia page for it in writing this review. That being said, I might be interested in seeing that Venom origin story...and I missed the chance to record it on FTA commercial TV the other day...so...maybe next time? I would hazard a guess that the humour works better in this first sequel, in any case...although...I found the character of Doctor Dan (played by Reid Scott) a wet blanket in this film. There's not much sophistication to his time on the screen. Maybe he's not bad...he's just drawn that way?",7
"A cool & relevant concept but it's just not interesting enough. A lot of fluff & not enough intriguing content. Love Steve Martin in this but that's about it. I could not stay focused on this show. Selena was not a good fit for this role. She's monotone, no expression, dry & seemingly emotionless & robotic. Kind of feels like a missed opportunity, unfortunately. Potential is there but sadly, there seems to be too much going on for me and not enough of that seems purposeful for the actual story. A bit boring, the mark was missed...",4
"To start with, if this film wasn't so completely overhyped, I would have given this a 6 or 7, but the fact that this film has been given stratospheric reviews, raised my expectations. The people that put together the montage to advertise the film, did a very good job, as they used the absolute best clips, which pprtrayed the film as a must watch. With regards to the best war film ever made, seriously? What idiots write this utter nonsense? Better than Platoon, Full metal jacket, yes those are vietnam. Well its not a patch on Dunkirk, saving private Ryan, the longest day, battle of the bulge, where eagles dare, guns of navarone, the list is endless but for a modern day adaptation of WW1 or WW2, this isn't a patch on Dunkirk. Maybe as this is based on WW1 and there hasn't been many examples to compare, this might be why people are raving about it? If that's the case, warhorse was way way better. I just don't get it as to why this is so widely acclaimed. I was so so looking forward to this and I was left utterly utterly disappointed to say the least. Worth a watch but nothing more",4
"There's a common phenomenon in recent US TV series, and that is, they get some great source material (Stephen King for example) and instead of breaking it up into episodes that contain actual story, the try to pad it out with hours of extraneous material so they can milk more episodes out of it, so a story that may rollick along, a fantastic whodunnit (as this story is) gets spread so thin, and filled with so many boring redundant scenes, that it's hard to maintain interest. Having said that, this TV adaptation would be perfect if it had been more tightly edited, and adhered more closely to Stephen King's version. I want all killer, no filler please! I want all fun and adventure and mystery, and no unnecessary and pointless scenes to pad it out endlessly. It could have been a 9 or even a 10, but the eternal padding makes it a 6.5.",6
"I have never been so sad for a movie failing at BO as i am for Swades.But BO needs some mas-ala,fast pace and some dramatic moments, it may have lacked these things.

But it have the ""soul"" which is not found in most of the movies.

Swades is about self realization,about our roots,many cultural aspects: both positive and negative.But i loved Swades cause it was absolute realistic.

Remember the scene in beginning when he says about Kaveri Amma that 'Mai Unko Bhul Gaya Tha'(I had forgotten her) this is among the finest moments.We realize that sometimes we forget people with whom we were once closely associated with, we get so much busy in our daily life that we tend to forget them.But sometime when we remember we like to speak to them, meet them, we miss them.It happens, we forget many of our childhood friends, few of our relatives,few of those with whom we were close.

The scene when SRK goes to search Kaveri Amma and finds that she is not there and just when he is turning back the old lady says ""she is very lucky that someone came to take her,that day she came..today you,else who ask for old people"".Very true.Old people are very much ignored.

SRK's entry in the village and the background music ""Aayo re...Aayo re"" one of the most beautiful music ever.

The narrow old roads of village, people running after Srk van....surprised,stunned that who had entered our village in such a big van is damn realistic and gives ""an essence of our rural India"".

SRK's entry in the house...wo aarti ki thaali lana and chandan and all gives an essence of our culture.

In the night when SRK says sorry to Kaveri Amma: ""I didn't took care of you"" that lady who is like mother figure to him and he had not taken care of her in all these years and now he is realizing his fault.....absolutely touching.

SRK's arguments with Gayatri Joshi at dinner about politics...""Sab Ek Dusre Ki Taraf Ungli Uthate Hai"" (everyone keeps pointing fingers on one another). Ye Tara Wo Tara Song and the lyrics ""Bund Bund Milne Se Banta Ek Dhara Hai'.

His discussion when he is asked to speak about America.....and his burst up on culture that how can we say that America culture is bad....we have our culture and we respect our culture...they have their too....and ""Jis Culture Aur Parampara,Sanskriti Pe Hum Garv Karte Hai Wahi Hume Ek Dusre Se Baate Rakhta Hai""(the culture and tradition which we are proud of is keeping us divided) on the name of caste,religion etc then how come we should be proud of our culture.

Actually the whole scene above was just amazing and deeply touching.

Then the whole scene when Srk goes for ""paisa vasooli"" and his story was quite touching.

The train scene: An NRI who never touches anything else than mineral water....looking after the plight of the boy he drinks that water, shows he was deeply sad in his heart to the plight of the country.And the way scene was handled and SRK's portrayal can't be put in words.

The scene when SRK is leaving the village and Maya ram refuses to go with him and says ""Apne Aangan Ka Diya Giving Light To Neighbours House""...i can just clap.

And the song ""Ye Jo Desh Hai Tera"".....specially the lines ""Mitti Ki Jo Hai Khushbu,Tu Kaise Bhulayega...Tu Chahe Kahi Jaye...Tu Laut Ke Aayega"".... I have so much respect for this song.

And in the climax when John says ""Mohan you could have gone places."" And Mohan replies ""I am going places"" Well bringing electricity was just to show that every individual can do something for his country and society.....Mohan Bhargav comes....he was alone...then he united many people....and result was for their own benefit......for their literacy,electricity and all.

What Mohan Bhargav gets??....nothing??.

But its not....he gets something which is out of the world.....self realization...self respect....an honor.....not by others but in his own heart.....that he had done something good for his society and country.

All bow to Ashutosh Gowarikar...from child marriage to illiteracy, from caste-ism to poverty, Swades covers all aspects and issues of rural India. Realization and self journey of ones own mind and a heartfelt message of changing our country for good was never delivered in as realistic manner as it was in Swades. Hats off to SRK as well for coming up with one of the finest performance of his career.

Mohan Bhargav's journey from Space Shuttle to Boat....from the glittering lights of America to the lantern of India.....from the mind and money to his heart and soul......incredible....simply incredible.

As the saying goes: ""The Greatest Journeys Are The Ones That Bring You Home""",10

"Loved the four previous seasons of Black Mirror. (TBH, I didn't get all the way through Season One Episode One, and I would suggest that potential viewers start after this particular episode.) The first four seasons were elevated Twilight Zone episodes (high praise from me). Watched the first two episodes of Season Five and they were subpar. Easy to see the twists. But I will give the rest of the season a try. If you want something well done in the same vein as S5 E2, please watch Get Out! by Oscar winning Jordan Peele. (Can't give enough praise for this film.) But, as I said, I am continuing to watch the rest of the season. (Yeah, maybe I should have waited to post after watching the entirety of this season.)",7
"The first season is really campy. Sometimes it borders on Stargate-level when the soldiers armor seems to be made of plastic and the CGI is from a PS2.

But it's ok. You have four good actors in Geralt, Ciri, Jaskier and Yennefer, and it takes you a long way. There's much monster-of-the-week, but it's ok.

The second season, it upgrades the looks, but it totally downgrades the story. It fails to deliver when it tries to go beyond monster-of-the-week; the plot is jumpy and the show goes far away from the source material and inverts fan-favourite characters to unrecognizable levels.

Of the four main heroes, Jaskier is all but absent, and the others can only do so much with the exposition-heavy jargong, sub-par writing and scattered story.",3
"I enjoyed the movie as a whole, but the very last scene is very vague. You can't tell if the blurry figure in the background is a good guy or a bad guy.",7
"It is an animal planet documentary with Lion king soundtrack. The animals show zero emotions because they are too realistic. You cannot even differentiate Lions unless they are talking. This movie is beautiful, technical masterpiece but souless. I was bored after first 5 min. However the movie does the iconic death really well and make it emotional for some reason while slipping back into boredom afterwards.

I would recommend Toy Story 4. or just rewatch animated Lion King in home. Or Life of Pi where the realistic tiger actually show emotions and is a great movie.",3
"I can't understand the hype. Bradley acts a cliché character, but Gaga is a bit more credible. The songs are nothing special... I've seen much better in other movies.

The story is good but the acting and directing took the soul out of it and turned it into a cliché.",5
"Very well written exciting concept poorly edited but offers a truly gripping and undetectable ending I am not a big fan of Francis Lawrence or anything he has done honestly he is over rated ""Hunger Games"" would have made the same splash no matter who directed it. Very slow and a lot of the scenes did not stack up, their was a lot contradictory shots. Especially a scene in a strip club witch to me was totally wacky and did not compute at all. I enjoyed the acting very thrilling in some areas but over all this movie lacked luster it played like a symphony rather then a concerto... I am obsessed with Jennifer Lawrence her acting is great ever since I saw ""Silver Linings Playbook"" so I will always be loyal and see every single one of her movies no matter what...... so everyone watch it even just once..Its Semi worth it!",5
I normally have a hard time getting into TV shows but this one just sucked me in from the get go. It's seriously so well written and such a clever take on supes and how they act. I seriously reccomend this to anyone who likes hero stuff or just anybody looking for a very good and dark show,9
"DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY !

This is the crappiest movie I have ever seen in my entire 27 years on this planet.

Not worth 3 hours of watching, I repeat DO NOT GO, I took the time to write this review and signing up on IMDb to post my review so that other get saved from this.

Total time waste, if you want to watch it, watch it at a torrent.

"This is show is one of the best shows ever created. There are many great lessons in this show that all people (adults and kids) should learn. The show delves into many branches of philosophy, including moral philosophy, that teaches people how to think critically and to always help and understand others. The show has a fantastic plot filled with great comedy and character development. The show has great action scenes as well! I highly recommend this show to everyone!",10
"Forget the songs that all sound the same and were CLEARLY written before there was a film (you can tell by the vagueness of the lyrics and how some of them don't make any sense in the context of the film). Forget the overly auto-tuned vocalists even ones who don't need to be auto-tuned!! Forget the multitude of under developed or one-dimensional characters we're never given a chance to care about. Even forget the constant moralistic hammering of equality equality EQUALITY into every single freaking scene.

The overwhelming feeling of this film is ... in one word ... saccharine. As in NAUSEATINGLY sweet. Sappy. Mawkish. There's no real drama no real heart, and the film makes it impossible to believe that anything will get these spunky go-getters down for too long. PUKE.

Look I didn't hate it ... it wasn't nearly as bad as La La Land which I had to turn off within 30 minutes because it was so terrible. I DID end up fast forwarding through the songs after 3rd or 4th one because there was nothing gained by them and I have a life.

Maybe that's the bar: if you liked La La Land ... you'll probably like this. If you thought La La Land was irredeemable dreck then definitely do not waste your time on this movie.",3

"This movie truly shows how the Highschool world is like. The way they talk and what they talk about. The jokes and lines are just hilarious and gut-busting. Im 17 years old and my first thought when I left the theater was this is so realistic. It's like I was watching my school, the only non-realistic thing are the two cops. Which they are both extremely hilarious. Seth Rogen films are always fun and entertaining. The characters bring their own creativity and humor to the screen. Definitely a movie to be seen. I give it a 10/10 because most comedies these days are ridiculously stupid, but Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg always come through.",8
"Never having read the book (books?) or even heard of the game I had no expectations. This is a by-the-numbers fantasy tale. Acting is fine although the roles are so stereotyped that it is undemanding on the performers. Geralt speaks in a Carlsberg Lager voice. Production is fine. Not great but not bad. The armies could be bigger. I felt a touch of Sharpe where the same soldiers rode or matched by and there were fewest wide angle shots.

On the plus side it is easy watching.",6
"It is ok to watch, the fight scenes are as usual in the John Wick films and there are at least four funny moments in it. Unfortunately the storyline is bad and after the movie it felt like you watched a placeholder between Part 2 and Part 4. There is no single discipline where Parabellum could keep up with the real John-Wick-Films. Never again.",2
"After the tour de force that was Iron Man, a sequel was always going to be hard pressed to live up to the expectation. The writers and director of Iron Man 2 apparently decided to go in a totally different direction and create a movie that does nothing and goes no where. Tony's alcoholism is given a sorry turn in the film, there is little build up to this. Black Widow is introduced ...her Avengers introduction is much better. Whiplash is great, as is Justin Hammer but both villains are poorly used in a film that stumbles from one set piece, through a series of sitcom gags, to the next set piece. The film culminates in a giant special effects sprawl and at the end it pretty much resets the ongoing plot to the end of Iron Man. It does the job as a blockbuster popcorn movie but is far below the standards set by Marvel.",5
"I watched the entire first season before offering a review. While it has it's pros and cons, ""Wednesday"" is a far cry from what creator Charles Addams had in mind.

On the pro side, much of the casting was well thought, including Ortega (who I was initially skeptical of). Yes, she's a few years older than her character, but that's pretty common in film and television. Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester and Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia were great additions (Fred needs to be in more episodes in season 2). Other stand-outs were Gwendolyn Christie, Riki Lindhome, and ""second Wednesday"" herself Christina Ricci. But props to Emma Myers (as roommate and budding werewolf Enid) who was a bright spot in a generally dreary environment.

On the con side, I'm sorry but prolific character actor Luis Guzman was miscast as Gomez. Guzman has the physical shape of Charles Addams concept for Gomez (not tall like Raul Julia or John Astin), but he simply is not dashing or effusive and his dialog is often hard to understand. And the Pugsley and Lurch roles were practically non-existent.

Also on the con side is making ""Wednesday"" a YA-focused show. As such, it was filled with forgettable second-tier characters with little tension or backstories. And the two potential suitors for Wednesday were interchangeable with other ""teen"" actors and were immiedtaly forgettable.

A big question is why Tim Burton decided to create a whole world of ""outsiders"" around the Addamses. The genius of the original TV show and 1990's films was how the Addams family, while outwardly odd, seemed more loving and normal than the so-called ""normal"" characters - that was the point. Giving each member of the Addams clan ""powers"" (except Gomez and Pugsley, as far as we know) defeats the whole purpose of Charles Addams creations. Burton compounds the problem of putting them in a world of werewolves (""furs""), vampires (""fangs""), sirens, Gorgons (medusas), hydes (no jekylls?), shape-shifters, and faceless students who don't say anything. Most of these add little to the show (there are some notable exceptions that will not be described since those could be spoilers) and are just so much background noise.

Another slightly annoying feature is the one ""normal"" American-looking street in Jericho - clearly a limited set piece since the show was filmed in Romania. This pretty much limited location shots that were supposed to be off-campus.

There were fun call-backs to the original TV show and films, such as the double-snap to gain access to the secret society lair. There was also a quick-and-you'll-miss-it reference to an ""Addams family reunion"". A brief portrait of a relative of Cousin Itt (yes with two t's) was shown, but they somehow also gave him a first name, making Itt his last name. That's incorrect. But other references, such as to Grandma Addams, or even Pubert (from the second film) are not to be found.

There was one fun trivia fact: the coffee shop called the Weathervane, is named after the student newspaper in Westfield (NJ) High School where Charles Addams was the graphic design director of the Weathervane while a student at Westfield HS. As someone who was born in Westfield, the ""shadow"" and legacy of Charles Addams looms large across the town and Westfielders will appreciate the shout-out.

For season 2, it will be hard to undo some of the negatives experienced in season 1. It would be more appropriate to have Wednesday and her friends interacting with more of the ""normies"" outside Jericho. Now that it has been a Netflix hit, maybe there will be a budget to shoot season 2 somewhere in the US instead of Romania.

Overall: 7 out of 10 with room for improvement.",7
"I feel like DC still has an old view of superhero movies. It's like they think superheros shouldn't be taken seriously, just silly kid stuff, simple cash grabs. As long as there's explosions & cgi everything is alright. This movie did kind of try but cgi sucked, nothing felt serious, shazams fake muscles looked subpar. After this movie I felt like DC makes me not like superhero movies...I'm done DC, in fact I'd say marvel is the only game in town, if they ever drop the ball, superhero movies are done.",5
"This is a masterpiece from tvf.

I binge watch it whenever I feel demotivated.

I will try to keep it short:

1. Excellent dialogues- Well written and dialogues that are relevant to the audience go a long way in making this an excellent show.

2. Acting- Everyone excels in their roles. TVF has come a long way and this is a sleek product with top-notch performance (hat tip to Jeetu for his scenes with his father).

3. TVF- The hype surrounding TVF and their TV shows (a highly recommended ""Permanent Roommates"" included) is completely justified. Just like the character ""Naveen Bansal"" says about being fearless as a kid, TVF is just that even now and we as audiences benefit from that.

4. Entertainment- It is very easy to get preachy while dealing with subjects such as entrepreneurship (and end up being documentary like in tone) but TVF is true to its promise of delivering quality entertainment that is laced with acidic yet witty commentary about the malaise and issues surrounding entrepreneurship.

5. Production Value- The show looks very polished and the hard work TVF has put into making the show look absolutely realistic shows.",10
"Greetings from hicflicks.wordpress.com !

I went with high expectations for this movie, knowing that this was directed by Christopher Nolan (of Memento and Dark Knight fame), and on seeing the 9 plus (out of 10) rating that the movie got on IMDb website. 'Memento' was also a intellectual movie that required the viewer's 100% attention and maybe difficult for some to digest on their first sitting. However, the ending of Memento, and the way all the dots connected were worth the enduring sit. In case of 'Inception', I felt clearly otherwise. Not only during half time did my head started hurting, but I also started to get irritated by the end of it and didn't give a damn on the final revelation (which frankly was quite limp).

I remember coming out of the movie hall with my friends, feeling like I had just given a 3 hour exam, and demanded a smoke from one of my friends to drowse the headache that I developed during the 2.5 hours sit. However, I gotta admit that the visuals and the background score were quite impressive, and so was the basic premise of the story (although it could have been developed much more). That is the only reason I would give this flick a ""Wine"" rating (3 out of 5 score), otherwise it merited an even lower rating.

In a nutshell, watch only if you are a big Christopher Nolan fan and if you are willing to kill some brain cells. Otherwise pass this one.",6
"The Irish man is finally released and I'm glad it's on Netflix. All the hype, anticipation to watch his movie is a bust, from start to finish. It's boring to watch, slow as hell and a waste of my Saturday afternoon. What happen to this screenplay it got lost in translation? The Characters are not fully developed, all you see is a close caption of their demise. Al Pacino as Jimmy Hoffa didn't capture the essence and the tenacity of Hoffa. His Portrayal was mediocre. Jack Nicholson did a better job in portraying Hoffa. Joe Pesci as Russel Bufalino is reserved and calculating. Robert De Niro as Frank Sheeran is electrifying. I was waiting for something exciting to happen throughout the course of this 3hr and 29mins and it never materialize. I

"Good acting, but nothing new or unique in my opinon. Hardly any scare scenes and rarely a jump moment.

The film for me lacked a level of substance. It had a very slow burn to begin with and I sat there waiting for it to kick into action. When it did, the storyline was good, however it did not hold my attention. I wish i could give it a better score, however it just didn't do it for me. The 90 minutes maybe should have been closer to 2 hours to allow for a more robust dialogue.

I left the cinema feeling it was ok, but would I have paid to watch it on the big screen with hindsight, the answer is probably no.",5
"I couldn't read the book as it was so trashy. I thought the show would be better, Dialogue is juvenile and it is a romance show sorta like a supernatural series. The acting is also bad. Only watched it because so many shows are not on the air now due to covid. The scenery is nice,",2
"Loving the show until this point.

Really was afraid that unprofessional aproach seen in many projects will ruin it, yes Im refering to director loby hes exposed to and after it influenced choice of one actor it now changed a whole episode. It felt great, as the cast is up until this point but Im afraid it will slip in some of the future episode and ruin it all.

Recomendation until now and I hope they will stick to original story and end it as it should be, as it is in game.

Not sure how it will follow the game in distant future if we come up to that point but certainly new sequels can be made or tv show can continue its own path, but following the game up to the point it can be followed is crucial imo.",1
"Man, I love that Batman comic but to like this one I had to forget all about that stuff. I mean, the comic Batman is like a super-detective, inventor genius who is also strong and 2 fisted. In this movie he farms out all the smart guy stuff to other characters so he can concentrate on doing ninja fighting. He's an awesome ninja but he ain't no Batman...even with the corny rasslin voice. Not to overly compare it to the comic though, it's a fine fine ninja movie. Once I put the idea of ""Batman"" out of my head it was a great visceral fun movie about a guy who dresses in a weird s+m Kevlar suit and beats up criminals and ninjas for vengeance late at night.",5
"Wasn't sure if this was for me.

"God it was bad. Not only because the film had no sense or story line at all, but because they ruined the success of the first one!

Apart from the characters we already knew (which they developed naturally in other films) all the new ones just came out of the blue without being introduced. Jumping through the ""multiverse"" and improvising solutions on the fly to fix the last mess they made, just how the film was made.

Needless to say, they had me embarrassed with that zombie DS, what a way to waste a talent like Benedict.",2

I find Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker very relatable (not so much in the third one) but in this one you feel his pain, struggles, and why he decides to ""quit"" being Spiderman.

Jonah Jameson will forever go down as one of the best side characters in film history.",10
"There has been taken way to many artistic freedoms with this movie. Although the main story line is more or less there, all the 80-s references from the book are as good as gone. The challenges are way of from the book and it makes me real sad.

I was expecting so much more from Spielberg.",2
Same woke drivel disguised as superhero series. I'll never get the time back. Not sure why I need to write 150 words. That's more thought than the writers put into it.,2
"To be honest I was a bit dissapointed with actors. Geralt is good and I think this particualr character does not requier much of effort really. But Yennefer, I'm very sad. I could barely watch episodes where she was depicted and even skipped some of the scenes. I dont blame the actress she is pretty, but in my opition too young and does not have much expirience for this particular role. She sounds like a child and even looks like one a bit. When I was reading books I thought of Yen as a powerful all mighty woman, who can do anything she want's and does not care for anyone's opinion. But in this series I pitied her, in all of the scenes she did not look powerful. I always thought that Yen is a badass but now I have seen her as crazy woman really, that's what I thought I thought that in this series she was depicted as insane and not very logical woman. I have never thought that anyone could pity Yen, but yes, that happened. I'm sorry but I do not like the acting. When I have found out that most of fans wanted to see Eva Green I imidiately thought that it would have been one of the best options! She has that tempter and previously showed it in her works. She could have been way better Yen. I was waiting for these series for so long and I'm afraid the second season will be not worth the wait.",3
"Ajay Devgn seems very comfortable in these roles as he has often portrayed similar roles of the no-nonsense, sincere officer. Saurabh Shukla, as usual is brilliant and always a pleasure to watch. I wish I could say something about Ileana but she has hardly any role in the movie. A few songs are randomly thrown in the movie, I suppose for the benefit of Ileana. The other actors in the movie have also performed their bit, well. The set up in the 80s is created well, with minute attention to detail such as the actors' clothes as well as recreating the houses in the 80's set up. Here is why I didn't like the movie: The movie started well with some scenes that got the audience to laugh out loud and also cheer in support of the hero and instead of maintaining that pace, things just went downhill and then just like that there was a glimmer of hope with a scene that created a sense of expectancy and then that fizzled out just as quickly. The movie was a roller coaster ride that sadly left me with a headache (or it could just be the heat). The whole movie is just one very, very long scene - of Amay and his team rummaging about Tauji's house in search of black money. The writer seems to have lost interest in the second half of the movie and the dialogues in the second half are lacklustre. There is a scene where the Indira Gandhi lookalike tries to help out Tauji by asking Amay to back off and then again she's shown praising Amay saying India is in need of such Officers. Good way to please all political parties. The movie starts with a bang and ends with a whimper.",5

"Freewheeling fun and meticulously convoluted over criss-crossing timeframes, Rian Johnson has put together another thickly plotted murder mystery, this time in a decidedly more state-of-the-tech setting on a Greek island and revolving around a megalomaniac billionaire who bears more than a passing resemblance to a certain exhausting Machiavellian twit we all know. However, Johnson was clever enough to focus less on the crime itself and more on the power he wields over the guests to his extravagant weekend getaway. As masterful detective Benoit Blanc, Daniel Craig has found his second franchise in an effete role far removed from the dashing Bond. The rest of the cast has a good, over-the-top time playing various archetypes, especially Edward Norton (as you-know-who), Kate Hudson and Janelle Monae who have the most enjoyable roles.",8
"When I heard that Guy Ritchie was making a Sherlock Holmes movie I shuddered. I had a horrible idea of a stupid, glossy action movie that had nothing to do with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's writing.

The casting of Robert Downey Junior and Jude Law did little to reassure me.

The movie was everything I feared..a steampunk version of Holmes for American teenagers with Holmes' ""woman"" Irene Adler shoe-horned in.

There are action scenes galore, some of them are decently staged but this is not a Holmes story.

I went in with low expectations and my worst fears were realised.A better disappointment.",3

Snide, sharp and effortlessly witty, it's an absolute howl, even for folks who may not have worked through the same problems at that age. Hill and Cera have great chemistry, bouncing insults and muttering puns at a machine-gun pace, and they get a ton of help from the supporting cast. Seth Rogen and Bill Hader damn near steal the show as a pair of irresponsible cops out for a joyride with Christopher Mintz-Plasse, who is himself unforgettable as the eccentric uber-geek ""McLovin."" I just wish it could've hovered in its zone of meaningless shenanigans the whole way through, because the last twenty minutes - when the plot suddenly realizes it needs to get going - are something of a chore to push through. Still, it's great enough that I'd call it a generation-defining comedy, tremendously written and utterly unstoppable when it's in a groove. Extra kudos for introducing the world to Emma Stone.",9

"I have to admit, I fell asleep several times while trying to watch this film, it just dragged for me. I'll keep that in mind when I have a bout of insomnia. I did, though, eventually finish watching the entire film, seeing a few parts over again to make sure I didn't miss anything in my ""levels"" of sleep.

I had heard buzz about this film, but never went out of my way to watch it. I'm only glad that I saw it so that I can say that I didn't like it at all. While the production quality was outstanding the acting top-notch, the story - otherwise known as the most important part - was flakey and not that interesting.

Essentially, this is a movie with two plotlines, one being the purpose of preventing a monopoly, and the other bringing someone's mind to rest. Sorry, but I really don't have any concern whether this monopoly forms or not, and the personal struggle aspect was tiring to observe.

Small note on nonsense, which there is much that can be pointed at within this film, if not the whole thing, there was a scene in which a character spikes someone's drink, but the server was in on it, so why didn't she do it? I guess it would have put too much focus on a bit player.

This pretty looking onion was dried up so much that cutting it up didn't make my eyes water.",5

The story builds its own atmosphere and wraps you around it.Sandra bullock plays her part brilliantly so does the other crew. The movie is full of excitement.

"I'm not into animation. I just can't take it seriously like I do with the live action movies. That's why I haven't watched a lot of animations, let alone anime-style. There are great computer animations like Shrek, How to train your dragon, etc. but for the traditional animations i have reserves.

BUT THEN EVERYTHING CHANGED( haha) when I watched Avatar: The Last Airbender. What a great animation this is. Filled with heart, joy, laughs, but at the same time dark, showing the casualties of the wars, at times very intense. The characters were incredible and so full of life. Never have I felt attachment to a animated character before, but i did with Aang, Sokka, uncle Iroh and ESPECIALLY with one of the best characters ever on TV - Zuko. Zuko's character development and story arc were the best thing for me in this series. He went through so many transformations and crises, it was amazing to watch it. The story and the world created by the writers of the show was astonishing.

I didn't get into the show until Season 2, for me the first season was slow and repetitive but the second and third is where the show catapulted into the skies. The finale was one of the best in almost any show (can't beat Breaking Bad's ""Felina"" ), every story arc was completed and almost no questions were left unanswered( except maybe Zuko's mother but I can live with that).

The best animated shows for me are this amazing show and South Park. I love both of them but can't compare them because they are the absolute opposites.

And while on the subject of college kids - are there no age-appropriate actors for this? Casting adults in their late twenties to play college kids just seems plain stupid. Nobody buys a 29 year old as a college freshmen. So dumb.

Other than that, expect the same degree of blood, guts, violence ans shock value as The Boys, just a tad more PC... Comparing this show to The Boys, I find it hard to get invested in any of the characters; they're too «meh» and unsympatetic for me to care about them.

"Why i didn't watch this show before ???? This is literally an amazing show truly amazing , every moment of every episode is a masterpiece . Benedict and martin's acting skills are flawless. Their acting is amazing in different situation and timings in show , they are really great actors . This show can make you laugh like a comedy , can amaze you which you would expect because its a thriller genre , and also can make you feel like cry in its emotional moments . Its true that it was at its peak in s1 and s2 but it doesn't mean last two seasons are worthless , many people will say this just ignore them and watch it . The thing is last two seasons took emotional aspect more than suspense which sometimes seem forced and makers have add more special effects which has no need . Fans say that last season was dissapointing but literally its amazing and took both emotional and suspense aspects with balance and also acting is getting more and more ,better with seasons . Don't listen to the critics or anyone say against the show its amazing and worth a watch not only 1 time but as many times you can .",9
"Very good TV for today's standards. But if you compare it to Season 1 of Game of Thrones it's very lacking.

The first couple of episodes get you pumped for what's to come, but as the show progresses you quickly realise that instead of characters developing, they're all molding into the same character.

Everyone in this series. Every single character has the same goal and same personality. All anyone wants to do in this show is to get power and get laid. And to be frank, it's kind of boring. Everyone feels the same. The few characters that actually seemed interesting only got a few minutes of screen time probably because they weren't important to the plot.

And I suppose that's the big flaw here that's causing all of my issues with this series so far. This show only focuses on is the plot. We don't get to see much of how characters interact with each other outside of the plot. We don't understand how decisions effect certain characters. We don't understand why characters make decisions that they make. All we know is ""This guy wants the throne, so he's doing this"" and nothing else.

There's no depth to that. As a watcher, I don't care who sits on the throne. I don't have a reason to care about any of the characters. So when they're making all of these political maneuvering and deciding succession and all of that feudal aristocratic mumbo jumbo, it doesn't matter one bit to me. And it's boring.

But as someone who's read into ASOIAF lore, I know why they're doing this. They're rushing past this bit. First season is probably just going to be the context for what happens next. Season 2 will probably be the real start of this series. It's just disappointing that's all.

Oh and episode 1's CGI over kings landing sucked.

Besides all of that, this series is still pretty good believe it or not. Nothing overwhelmingly special, but definitely worth a watch. And I expect it'll pick up next season so you'll want to watch this anyway.",7

"I have watched the movie only recently (2006) and I have liked it very much. It has become one of my favorite movies. The thing that I like about the movie is its interesting story which is humorous as well as touching. Being based on a true story it gives the movie authenticity linking it with real life situations.The characters of the protagonists is very interesting: A very carefree boy who would do anything for his girlfriend (Eng.putting on ladies sandals )but later realizes the responsibility towards himself for her sake. The girl who having lost her love tries to drown herself in drinks and quarrels to forget him. The characters have been portrayed very well by the lead actors and has been ably supported by the supporting cast. To know they were real people is really intriguing and adds to the excitement when watching the film. The film is essentially is a funny romantic movie filled with humorous scenes (Eng. playing games in the train, being buried alive) as well as touching moments (Eng. when the girl cries standing on top of the hill ). Personally the movie is enlightening in some aspects: Inside every hard person there is some soft corner which calls to be explored. Its a nice movie which can be watched by everybody.",8

That being said, I can't say I really loved or even liked this film. I get that it's a ""sci-fi"" movie but I was still expecting some of those classic Sandy one-liners that made movies like The Proposal and Miss Congeniality (both the original and Armed and Fabulous) so great!

Knowing that Clooney was going to be backing her up I was like, ""you kidding me? this is basically going to be The Proposal in space.""

But I was wrong. I was very, very wrong.

Suddenly I found myself watching something more along the lines of Speed 2: Cruise Control. I was completely blown away and the camera wouldn't stop moving. I haven't seen special effects like that in a long time. I can't believe she could put out something as enjoyable as The Heat and this terrible thing in the same year! It was very upsetting.",1

Really have no clue where did they spend so much money on a show which is very poor itself. Even the plots and story itself is not that interesting and very boring.",2
"Obviously overrated plain movie about social cheating. Surprisingly, the movie was well-received by Korean fans...",3
"The rate threw me off, this movie is trash & Adam only good in comdey. Just saying!!!",3
"Everything right from the first scene was captivating. I haven't read the book, but I don't think I would because the acting was quite rich, the sight and scenes were magnificent. The romance was lovely even for a cynic like me.

Just finished Season 1 and anxiously waiting for season 2 . I'm addicted now.",10
"I'm a huge fan of the old TV series and the movies are fantastic. Maybe I had my expectations too high, but I can't understand how anybody who has seen any of the previous incarnations of the Addams Family could rate this show highly. The only positive comment I have is that some of the special effects are not too bad; thus 2 stars, instead of 1. However, the negatives are many. First, the character of Gomez Addams is extremely awful, Mortica is boring, Pugsley is a non-entity, and they even manage to make Lurch and Thing uninteresting. The Wednesday character is easily the best of the bunch, but that's not saying much. And, true to the usual nauseating Netflix wokeness, all of the male characters are violent and/or dimwits.

I barely made it through the first episode, and based on the previews, it looks like it'll turn into a lame ripoff of Harry Potter. In any case, whatever direction it goes, it'll be going there without me.

There was so much potential here, it's really sad to see it all wasted.",2
"Good. Not great. Seemed a little underdeveloped idea for a series or like a movie that has been stretched into 6 episodes which rarely works. It went slowly building though the season but there was no climax.

Lately Marvel series that stream on Disney+ feel like an extended movie that's been chopped up in 6 episodes to create the series.

In Loki , Wanda Vision and Hawkeye I binged watched the whole series and I didnt quite noticed it, so I thoroughly enjoyed them.

But with Moon knight I made the mistake of watching one episode every week and it was a gruesome task.

Movies work in a 3-act stracture. If you right a series like a movie it's hard to keep the viewer emotionally invested. Especially when it needs to wait weeks to find what happens next.",6
"Maybe it's all the buzz that this was the co-frontrunner for the Oscar, but I was merely entertained. Yes, it does convey the loss and futility of war. And if you just want an educational film that gives you ""the feels"", this is great.

But the story was very ordinary. I give it a 9 for execution and a six for the story.",7
"Nice movie, good direction by Nagraj Manjule, must watch, should be nominate to oscar, deserve national award atleast, all new artist have given best performance, nice cinematography, one of the finest performance by Big B, music by ajay atul is good.",10
"Will grade this on the same scale as the first, funny and full of action. Short in length and straight to the point puts you always on the edge and expectant....love my movies like that, no dulling moments. Woody's performance was very good, liked the way he stares and makes him a deadly villain. Really excited for a sequel.",7
"Overall acting was very poor - of course except Chris Hemsworth. Failed to show the background it was based on. Dhaka is not like what has been shown. In addition, the accent used was from West Bengal, India. The culture and lifestyle are very different between Bangladesh and India. But the movie seemed like it was not only shot in India, but also about India. We don't have anything against our neighbor country - we are just surprised that if the name Dhaka is being used as the plot location, why not representing it properly? There are many popular landmarks in Dhaka but none of them was shown. Honestly I couldn't recognise the city. I felt it lacked dedication and research. On the contrary, even though it missed a strong plot, I enjoyed the action sequences. A good movie if not taken seriously.",3
"I didn't expect to like it as much as i did but it was great (if a bit predictable).

It's full of interesting characters, heartwarming, intriguing enough and most of all, fun!",9
"At first, what appeared as a tribute for classic American Sitcoms; eventually elaborated into an in-depth character study. Taking a look at the bigger picture; it is safe to say, ""WandaVision"" could be addressed as the fanciest project endeavored by Marvel to date.

Amidst the mounting acceptance of OTT platforms, Giant names in the industry are progressively shifting their focus to this lucrative space. Following the completion of Avengers and Phase III of MCU, Disney & Marvel were seeking out opportunities to keep on expanding their Portfolio. At long last, they decided to go with Spin-offs. 'WandaVision' being the first in line.

Before I proceed, allow me to emphasize the fact that it would be wiser to exercise patience during the first two episodes. They may seem awfully wrong and unsuited to some; But please be assured, they do have a solid reason to exist in the first place!

Bearing in mind its rather fascinating coalition of Humor, Sentiment & Action; there has been no shortage of entertainment for the viewers. Albeit the general outcome is quite fulfilling but that doesn't advocate faultlessness. On the contrary; the Screenplay suffers from indirectness. Mainly betwixt transitioning phases!

Barring a handful of negatives, this one does stand out in additional aspects.

For instance, the Characters are well fleshed out. Especially in view of both Wanda & Vision. We become acquainted with their strong ties. Besides the joyous tidbits, the story did possess a relatively darker tone towards the end.

Digging deeper into Wanda's tragic past; illustrating the miserable journey she had withstood thus far. Setting forth a pitiful side of her personality that we had not previously been aware of!

Lastly, the performances have been pretty darn good. Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda and Paul Bettany as Vision; both doing an amazing job respectively. An Honorable mention goes to Kathryn Hahn for her unerring act as Agnes/Agatha! She was simply excellent.

We also got some known faces reprising their roles from Marvel's previous outings! However, I gotta admit they apparently lacked an appropriate amount of exposure! Therefore failing to assert their dominance!

In a nutshell, This has been an avant-garde experience that seriously caught me off guard! If you are an ardent fan of Marvel, then this is undoubtedly a must-watch. For others; just go with limited expectations, and rest assured you will have a nice time.",7
"Parasite is without a doubt a well-thought good movie. It's clearly that it took lots of brains and talent to produce such a tape. It even has a message and on realities of society and a study on social classes in Korea. It addresses the issue of attitudes and the way we look at life, be it positive or negative, it has a huge impact. In addition, in general i love Asian Cinema, especially Chinese and Korean films. BUT saddly, this not for me.

I did not like it. Did not enjoy it. Once I hit the 90 minute mark i was just about to give up. Still i stayed till the end because of the amazingly great reviews.

Korean movies are just fantastic, and this might not be the exception. I have seen many online and in cinemas. they are AWESOME.

Parasite to me was annoying, depressing, negative.... a total tale of betrayal... Parasite tries to teach that you must never open the doors of your house nor your trust to others... or at least be super careful..?? could be.

You can watch the movie and make up your mind. You might be among the 99.99% of people who loves it. I am in the 0.01 % who do not :)

(my humble opinion)",6
"Review: I really had high hopes for this movie, mainly because of the brilliant cast but I didn't know what the hell was going on most of the time and the Wall Street jargon, became way too technical for me. There was too many characters that were doing different things and I personally think that it became a bit messy after a while. I deliberately didn't want to know anything about the plot before I watched it but if I knew that it was based around the property crash during 2008, I definitely would have watched it with someone else so they could explain to me what was going on. Out of all of the top stars in this film, Steve Carell and the brash Ryan Gosling, were brilliant but it would have helped if I knew what the hell they were talking about. Don't get me wrong, I get the main concept of the movie and I knew who was good and who was bad but if your not from that world, I really don't know how your supposed to understand there various phrases and different methods of tricking the market to make billions of dollars. Brad Pitt and Christian Bale also put in good performances and they played there roles convincingly but I still was confused most of the time. Basically, it's worth a watch, just for the performances but from an entertainment point of view, it really didn't do it for me. Disappointing but watchable.

Round-Up: With such an enormous cast, the box office takings were pretty disappointing, and I'm sure that a lot of the money was made after getting nominated for a few Oscars. It did win in the Best Writing category, even though I found it quite confusing but it lost out to Spotlight in the Best Movie category. I can understand why this movie is so appealing, because it explains how the stock market crashed and how so many people lost there homes and jobs, so it is a significant movie for this time and age but they will have to release The Big Short for dummies for me to get it. It was written and directed by Adam McKay, 48, who also brought you Anchorman 1 & 2, Talladega Nights, Step Brothers and The Other Guys, so this film was definitely a change of genre for a director who had primarily made movies for the comedy market. The script was slightly witty and I liked the way that Ryan Gosling was narrating through the film, which gave it a lighter feel, even though it was dealing with a delicate moment in time. I still would have to watch it again to fully understand it and I'm sure that I'm not alone when it came to the confusing technical jargon. 

Budget: $28million Worldwide Gross: $133.3million

I recommend this movie to people who are into their biography/drama/comedies starring Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Brad Pitt, Marisa Tomei, Hunter Burke, Rudy Eisenzopf, Casey Groves, Charlie Talbert, Shauna Rappold, Brandon Stacy, Peter Epstein, Melissa Leo and Anthony Marble. 4/10",4
"I guess you can believe everything you read. I saw so many good user reviews that we gave it a try. I go to the movies to be entertained, enlightened, to see a great story about people you really care about. This movie failed miserably on all of those counts. The plot was weak, didn't care about the people, and it was loud and violent. When you see a really great movie like the Greatest Showman, the audience reacts positively at the end - applause...a buzz in the theater. There was no applause or buzz. We were just glad it was over. People who had read the first book in the series were not happy it strayed so far from the source material. It was obvious the way they set up the ending they are making a sequel. I will miss seeing it. No desire at all.",2
"Watched a wartime movie after long time but I must say this one was the best I saw till date. This movie has a no nonsense plot which is entirely focused on the operation that was conducted for URI. The best part of this movie was there was no unnecessary romantic scene. Another best part of this movie was there was no unnecessary talks, cuss words to show the army's behavior, unlike other movies in past where half of the time is use to convince the audience why the operations are necessary. This is a must watch movie for everyone.",10
"I didn't enjoy is as much as I thought I would, but 'Fargo' is still very good and something I'd obviously recommend.

I like the cast here, even if it is a bit of a Frances McDormand carryjob to be honest - she is terrific all the way through, absolutely nailing the role. Steve Buscemi is the star away from McDormand, while I've seen a few glimpses of William H. Macy elsewhere but this is his best showing that I've watched thus far. Peter Stormare is good too.

It's an entertaining story, that's for certain! Around 98 minutes was a wise run time call, also. I didn't get that extra little something from it, yet it's a film that I'd more than happily rewatch - largely thanks to McDormand, and Buscemi.",8
"I approached this movie with great anticipation given all the Oscar hubbub. Great cast - Michelle Yeoh, JL Curtis. I loved Ke Huy Quan's acceptance speech at the Oscars. I was ready to enjoy it!

But holy moly. This was mind blowing in a bad way the filmmakers did not intend. The style felt like a cross between The Matrix and The Shining - but did not approach the entertainment of either of those films. The storyline was difficult to comprehend despite its mind numbing repetitive nature.

Twenty minutes into the movie I was already asking how much longer till it's over (answer: a lot!). This movie is in dire need of an editor at an excessive 2hr23min runtime. In addition to fast forwarding parts to get it over with, there are numerous cringeworty plot triggers involving the characters paper cutting themselves and impaling things up their rectum.

The acting quality was the uniquely impressive part of this experience as the characters must transform abruptly through a myriad of emotions. But in no way did that make up for the stupidity and drawn out torture of the plot.

My wife opted out watching it with me and she was the lucky one. I would never watch this movie again and I'd warn friends if they asked me about it.",3
"""1917"" follows two friends on a journey to stop World War I. They are faced with enemies and different kinds of obstacles that keep them from getting to their destination. Every second of this movie is full of action and suspense. It keeps you on the edge of your seat through the whole movie in worry of the main characters. This movie is not really what I would choose to watch on my own but it was really good and you never know what might happen next. I would recommend this movie to people who love the art of suspense and history in film. Overall this movie is not something I would watch again because it takes a while to get to the main point and the dialog is not that interesting to keep your attention.",6
"(Rating: ☆☆ ½ out of 4)

This film is mildly recommended.

In brief: This film never lands its knock-out punch but it does go the distance.

GRADE: B-

Boxing is a grueling sport, but not as grueling as sitting through the unoriginal Southpaw, a cliché-ridden heavy-weight tale of a down-on-his-luck pugilist plugging away to make his life better. The characters are light-weight replicas of real-life people, but it's the actors, especially Jake Gyllenhaal in the lead role, who punch up this film to make it a worthy contender.

Granted, there have been some real knockouts in the cinematic history of boxing movies (Raging Bull, The Fighter, Million Dollar Baby, the original Rocky). And there have also been some god-awful ones (The Main Event, Grudge Match, all the other Rocky sequels) Southpaw falls squarely in the midsection. It's strong when it stays within the ropes, but once it leaves the arena, it's hopelessly pretentious, utterly predictable, and so heavy-handed, even with its gloves on or off.

If you have seen the film's trailer (which reveals the entire movie), you know where the film is going before the count. It's The Champ revisited, but grittier, bloodier, and supposedly more realistic, except for its nonsensical story.

As our story begins, Billy Hope (geez!) has everything: a loving wife, an adorable daughter and a lucrative boxing career. He is a wonderful guy, a champion on top of the world until (gasp!) tragedy strikes. Literally, once the Great White Hope in the boxing world, Billy falls on some hard times (of course). His road to redemption won't be easy (of course), but he will fight tooth and nail to get back on top (of course).

Jake Gyllenhaal's commitment to this part is impressive. He toned up and certainly looks like a down-on-his luck boxer who has seen the dark side too often. With his highly sculptured physique, rock-hard abs, and bruised and battered face, the actor earnestly tries to pump some life into this lifeless role. But, as written, Billy is so one-dimensional and never really amounts to a real character, more of a caricature that we have seen a zillion times in boxing movies. Blame the screenwriter, Kurt Sutter, not the actor. Rachel McAdams plays Mo, his tough but loving wife (complete with a New Yawk accent) and Oona Laurence is memorable as Leila, their daughter caught in Billy's downward spiral. Forest Whitaker adds some interest in his supporting role as Tick Willis, Billy's loyal manager and conscience. Moviegoers can revel in his few dramatic moments whenever he is on the screen. Rounding out the cast is 50 Cents as Jordan Mains, his money-hungry promoter and Miguel Gomez playing Magic Escobar, his villainous opponent. (Hey, what is it with these odd names anyway?)

While the dialog has an authentic grittiness, the plot becomes more and more absurd in its predictability, As multiple obstacles quickly begin to mount in the most of illogical ways against our hero, who should be renamed Billy Hopeless, the film starts to become a parody of itself. Director Antoine Fuqua doesn't help matters with his overt foreshadowing of events and his penchant for soap opera melodramatics. He stages the boxing scenes with lots of hand-held in-your-face close-ups and handles these sequences with some verve. But his vision of the human drama outside the ring is so labored and overdone. The manipulative ending offers no surprises and the overall result is a bit of a yawn.

Southpaw is a dumb palooka of a movie. Even before the first punch is thrown, the contrived plot and its superficial characters kayo the film. But Gyllenhaal's impassioned performance is reason enough to see this film.",6
"This was a corker ... Mathew Maconnaghay painted a strange colour yellow for most of the film ... He also has a really badly put on accent ( god knows what its supposed to be ) ... Family Family Family Hollywood can only drivel on about Family ... The ONLY decent acting in this came from John Lithgow who mak=de an early exit ... The plot is chucked together from the usual suspects ... The director obviously watched 2001 too often ... The time anomaly at the end seems to be a K hole ... I mean !!! ... Get over it ... This is seriously mediocre time filler ... There is no intelligence going on here, just the usual Hollywood drivel ... Uninspired visuals ... And a serious lack of imagination ... I spent nearly 3 hours on this thing as I thought it may pay off in the end ... I was soooooo wrong Vapid and insulting",1
"If I was John Wick, as soon as I come to know that there will be an open contract for me, I will go somewhere, where normal people live and disappear. Wait for a few days for the wounds to heal. Then have a good haircut and a shave. Get rid of that bloody awful full suit and wear a t-shirt with shorts and slippers. I bet no one will see you as ""the john Wick"" any longer. Get into a public bus and leave town for good.

Of course it did not happen in the movie because if it is, it won't be a John Wick Movie.

It is a movie full of dull fights and stupid hero.

John Wick 3, producers might have thought that the spectators will be fond of an endless chain of fighting, which becomes very very dull within the first two fights.",2
"It gives the impression that you have experienced this radioactive nightmare. The most surprising thing was how much worse it could have been without the heroism and sacrifice of so many. The Soviet government seemed less threatening and dictatorial than most movies about the USSR. The KGB looked more like the CIA incompetent but vindictive shadow government we're familiar with, which seemed realistic. I'm knocking off a stars for a few reasons: radiation poisoning isn't contagious, an that was just silly. Also, we didn't need to spend so much time dog hunting. I know it must have been heartbreaking, but we could have got the point in a minute or two.

I am laughing at all you one-note NPCs who think this story has anything to do Climate Change (or is it still Global Warming)? It was a radiation disaster, and a real one.",8
I was skeptical of this series but turns out real fun watch. Awesome series and Season 2 is even better.,9
"The Barbie movie, while providing a passable entertainment experience, falls short of achieving masterpiece status. It's important to approach this film with reasonable expectations, understanding that it caters primarily to a specific demographic. As an individual outside that target audience, I found the movie to be enjoyable to a certain extent but lacking the depth and complexity that might resonate more strongly with its intended viewers. The storyline and characters are serviceable, yet they don't offer the level of intricacy that one might find in films aimed at a broader age range. While not a cinematic triumph, the Barbie movie succeeds in delivering a light-hearted and visually pleasing adventure, albeit one that may not fully engage those beyond its designated audience.",6
The magic of season 1 completely ruined in part 2. Sorry but I honestly dont like the story. Poor acting done by unnecessary characters like Zoya and Shahid Khan. I mean seriously I have never seen a mafia leader fighting alone to a group of special officers. Still giving 6 stars for season 1 performance.,6
"I was excited to see what Sam Raimi could do with this movie, but it felt like he was held back by Disney. It's convoluted and the writing is cringe. The ""Marvel Formula"" is getting old! Elizabeth Olsen is not that good in this, which sucks since she is great in other marvel projects. Cumberbatch and Xochitl Gomez both do an okay job. Nothing special here, just another contrived mess. The visuals are on point. A lot of talent being put on screen and some of the Horror-esque elements added by Raimi were fun. That's all to praise.",4
"I was completely taken in by the first two episodes even though the series was reminding me a bit of True Detective and Twin Peaks but things got worse the longer this show played out. By the time you get to the last few episodes you will be subjected to countless interminable talky scenes where characters are trying to wrap their minds around the fact that they might be dealing with something supernatural. I fast-forwarded through at least three of them and I don't feel as though I missed a thing. Sooooo much filler. This series could have been about four episodes. I see that Imdb is calling this ""Season 1"" but there is no way on earth I would sit through a Season 2.",2
"Such non sense. The same old marvel formula towards making the same film for the nth time, with illogical fantasy storyline that's complete non sense and a waste of time with cool vfx. I'd rather watch nasa's footage of earth for 5hours straight rather watch this crap.",2
"I have been a huge fan of the MCU since the first Iron Man and was incredibly excited for Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Sadly, this show was a massive disappointment. Instead of writing an entertaining comic based story like the MCU movies, the writers instead chose to lecture its audience with the writers' take on modern day politics and treat us to one of the most boring and poorly conceived super hero plots ever. The main villain Carly is mind numbingly bad/cringe. To make matters worse, Bucky and Sam are completely written out of character. I fell asleep during more than one episode. This show might be our wake up call that the real MCU ended with End Game.",1
"I think the director took the base line fron RED DRAGON 2002 and used his brilliance to showcase this wonderful thriller. Even if you have watch the Red dragon director had his touch to twist the story a little and make u sit in the edge of ur seat..

Definitely i would suggest to watch the movie in theater to enjoy the thrill

Background score 10/10 Casting 10/10 Director 10/10.

I have given 9 over all to Por thozil since in Red dragon there is a bonus thrill at the end of the movie which will totally surprise us. People who didn't watch red dragon watch it for nail biting experience

Some people saying it is like Ratchasan, Expect serial killing it is no were related to it.",9
"The attempt to avoid any reference to gangs and violence may have been heightened since the release of the film. The smell of an invisible but ever-present threat hangs over the area, mingling with acrid fumes of coking coal. Iqbal indirectly acknowledges it all when he says, ""There are two laws in Dhanbad-one to arrest Faheem Khan's family, another to investigate denizens of Singh Mansion."" It's a reference to Suraj Deo Singh's palatial house.",9
"I don't understand the reason for such a low score for a film like this. It is inexplicable because it is really a quality product. I am already a longtime fan of David O. Russell and I must say that this film met my expectations. I am glad I watched it without being influenced by the negative critics because it really surprised me so much. I loved it from the very beginning. The cast is really stellar, and the performances are masterful, the film is very enjoyable and easy to follow, it draws you into the story and is very engaging. I liked the cinematography and the characterization of the characters. Very much approved and highly recommended.",9
"This is single handedly the best adaptation of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. It's exactly what you would expect- the two of them running around, solving crimes, and being awesome. The modern day feel is what really makes this show exceptional. It keeps all the classic stereotypes of Sherlock Holmes, with and added feel of the new age. Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freemen both did an exceptional job at captivating Holmes and Watson and they bring so much life to the show that I can't believe there are people out there that haven't seen it. The only negative thing I can think of to say, is how unsatisfying and random season four was. Maybe it's just personal preference, but I did not love the last season. Other than that I absolutely worship this show and would recommend it to anyone.",9
Nothing completely new but the movie is very good. Pay attention to the first 5 minutes if you want to understand the ending of the movie.,10
"Truly one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It was only worth one star, IMO, but I gave it two because I could not stop laughing at how bad it was. Many have compared it favourably to the great mystery novels for some reason. Agatha Christie was clever, the writer of this was pretty dim. I guess he/she did not have to bother, since the cast was so good the movie was bound to do well at the box office.

And, why did Daniel Craig even try an American accent? It seems that many British actors do a pretty good job, but Daniel is not one of them.",2
"Winning in Oscars effectively reflects that the movie excels in sound effect and shooting. However, the story is a bit dull, lacking story twist to attract my eye ball. Anyway, it is a ok time killer.",7
"As a massive fan of the MCU, I have been eagerly awaiting Captain America Civil War for months. I had such high hopes and expectations and the film does not disappoint. In fact, it exceeds my expectations. I personally really liked age of ultron (AOU) however this film juggles all of the characters perfectly and has learned from the negatives raised from that installment. It gives each character their moment and does them all justice.

This film is a sequel to AOU and equally a sequel to the Winter Soldier, yet each previous MCU installment is touched upon in this movie. The building blocks previously set up in previous movies helps for the politics of the film to be relatable, interesting and entertaining, an aspect which is often done so poorly in other movies (look at the Star Wars prequels!!) This allows for a patient yet gripping film from the onset and doesn't rely on constant action and fight scenes. The reasons each hero chooses a particular side is justified and understandable. Iron mans decision to stand against cap is also justified and paints the character in a new light in my opinion. You genuinely feel for both characters. The action is brilliant and is arguably the best of any superhero movie. The film has some genuinely upsetting and emotional moments yet manages to then flip it to moments of laughter and humour. The timing is sublime.

Overall Civil War is a mature movie that raises the bar for the genre. It surpasses the winter soldier which I believe was the best superhero movie to date and leaves the MCU in such an interesting and exciting position. I can't wait to see more. Get your ticket and watch!!!!! #TeamCap",10
"Tried to watch it. I really enjoyed the beginning, but when Professor X came it ruined it. I really hate the comic-y aspect of superhero movies. It's just so lame.

Logan could have been good if they kept it suspenseful and dark. I liked where it was going.

Skip though it may be good

6 stars",6
"Boring piece of crap. Don't loose 90 minutes from your precious life watching this garbage.

Watch something else. Go for a walk with friend ! Order souvlakia with potatoes !",1
"I stopped watching it after the first five minutes, but had second thoughts. So glad I didn't walk away. While it is more literal and doesn't contain the depth of Game of Thrones (which it will inevitably be compared to), Witcher charts its own course and unique storytelling style. Henry Cavill carries the cast, but is by no means the only star of this show. Anya Chalotra, who plays Yennefer, has a compelling story of triumph over pain and really catches fire in the final episode. Young actress, Freya Allan, brings her share of authenticity and drama to her role.

The Witcher offers a fine balance of high fantasy, drama, political intrigue, action, and slapstick. A great choice for those wishing to disconnect from reality or replace the void left by Game of Thrones (just be cautious to suspend comparisons and allow the story to unfold).",9
"Seriously. A total mess.

Worthless pointless attempt at cash grabbing on a marvel sub character.

Sony need to sell their film division cos they cannot make them.",2
"As Harry and Ron and Hermoine and everyone else has grown up, so have the audiences with the Potter franchise. So it should make some sense that by the time the seventh book has come around that it's coming down to the wire: the big showdown between Harry and the Man-We-Don't-Speak- His-Name, oh, whatever, Voldemort. It's usually that the mid-point movie (i.e. Empire Strikes Back) is the darkest one, but there was a quasi-dark ending to Half-Blood Prince, so it makes more sense that the filmmakers take Rowling's Deathly Hallows and turn it into what it should be: a ripping good apocalypse yarn.

I kid a little, but it is a movie with a lot of black contours and desolation, as the trio might be walking through the British version of The Road minus some of the gray-scale photography. That, and the main 'plot' being that Harry has to find the horcruxes, which are items that could be used by Voldemort for very evil purposes. But then the next problem comes as how to destroy them? It's this section of the film, after a very entertaining section where the three go in disguise as full-grown-ups (a funny and intense scene in the Ministry of Magic), that it gets into a rhythm that is not what one would expect in a big- budget holiday blockbuster. A lot of it is sitting around contemplating, waiting, trying to figure things out, and if the audience gets impatient it's not due to the filmmaker's making it bungled but because the characters are having trouble figuring it out too, and we feel for them.

Talking with my wife about the books in relation to the movies, I'm told that book seven is meant to be a character piece for a large part of it when they're in the woods (indeed it's something like a hundred pages of these woods scenes with the three, or sometimes two, of them frustrated in figuring out the symbols and suspense of running from the gestapo- like figures of the Dark Lord). But is Rowling as good at characters as she is at clever plots and intricate details of magic? Yes and no. Yes in that she makes good characters that we want to be around (for the most part, sometimes Ron gets on ones nerves), and no in that they are at best two dimensional figures, even with Harry, and there's only so much character to explore. But there are instances where one can excuse the tedium of some of these woods scenes. A moment where Harry and Hermoine have a levity pause and dance to music could be seen as extraneousness, but when it has the music of Nick Cave signing sad blues, why carp?

David Yates' direction has found after a few of these movies- Order of the Phoenix still the best of his efforts but not far ahead of this one- and he has a classical style as far as big-budget high-action-adventure movies go in Hollywood. He can let an actor's rhythm speak for itself, and he has a really wonderful scene for a whole mess of top-tier British talent (i.e. Ralph Fiennes, Alan Rickman, Helena Bonham Carter et all) in the opening scene at Voldermort's castle. When it's exciting such as a fast-paced chase in the sky, it's exciting, and when it needs to slow down there's still attention to be paid to what's going down. Only a few points that a non-book reader such as myself such as a wedding scene for a minor character from movies past and a few points of reference for a couple of items or characters get lost on me.

This is the kind of production that has great attributes and only a couple of damning liabilities, though the former outweighs the latter. There's a sequence where the story of the Deathly Hallows- how the three men who made deals with death for items and things- is told with a unique animation style that has silhouettes and figures that look like a Tim Burton special. It's one of the most breathtaking passages in any Potter movie, sophisticated to the point of impressing any serious fan of fable-storytelling. But the downsides... well, again, some of the pacing in those woods scenes are less than great. But more than that is a kind of curious aspect to the climax, which without spoiling much involves a character who we've only seen in one other Potter movie (I leave this non-spoiler for those who haven't read the books - those that do know what I mean already), and it's a tragic fate for the character. It's a fine moment of drama, but it lacks the punch that was likely there in the book as it's a character who is barely in the film itself and will need some memory-digging for the character's significance before.

But as far as movies where artistic integrity takes place over dumb-loud action and is able to weave visual fx with the practical side of sets and costumes and things with the CGI is very commendable. It's no wonder that Guillermo del-Toro came close to directing this movie, as it appeals to a sensibility that reads the fantastical and supernatural as part of the world, even if one can't see it quite at first. Oh, and the other downside I almost neglected... it's the first part of a two-part finale. It's like getting a half slice of a BIG epic movie, so it's still big, but half-big. But as far as half-slice epics go, it's one of the best in the franchise.",8
"This is clearly one of the best(if not the best) shows ever created even today. It is almost 16 years old and still feels fresh. It has everything from Thrilling Drama to Breathtaking Action, Sad moments to Hilarious Comedy. There are many great lessons for people of every age. DO NOT mistake it as a Kid's show. Has something for audience of every age. Screenplay and story is really amazing, Hats off to the writer and director Michael Dante DiMartino. Every character is very well written and everyone has a motive and inspiration behind every action. Now I wish I was born in Avatar Universe:). Highly recommended for everyone.",10
"Profoundly lacking in every aspect imaginable. Imagine stumbling upon a captivating yet controversial philosophical concept. The enthusiasm sparks, and you decide to create a series around it. However, the reality dawns on you - there's no director to bring your vision to life, no actors to breathe depth into the narrative, and no well-crafted screenplay to engage the audience. It's akin to having a brilliant idea for a culinary show without a skilled chef, quality ingredients, or a meticulously crafted recipe.

This deficiency extends beyond mere inconvenience; it transforms your promising concept into a frustratingly futile endeavor. The potential for a thought-provoking exploration of philosophical dilemmas remains unrealized due to the absence of essential creative elements. It's like standing in front of a canvas with a vivid imagination but no paint, brush, or artistic skill to translate ideas into a masterpiece. In the realm of series creation, the absence of crucial components transforms a potentially intriguing project into a disheartening waste of time.",1

"I have never seen a show with so many complex storylines happening at once. Not only are there easily 3-4 plots an episode, but the plots change as the episodes go on.

Bodyguard is a very stressful show and is very similar to 24 in certain respects, but it is an amazing show that stands on its own. The action, writing, and the dialogue is very fast. As an American, there are a lot of acronyms and terms that are confusing, but it is fine because it is easy to look up. The acting is stellar across the board and heightens the tension and action.

Each episode is very long and the show does require a significant amount of focus because there is a lot that happens in almost every scene. The show is a wide range of genres as well. The show can go from being action to a thriller to political to sad and so forth.

I highly suggest the show! It is amazing!!!",8
"Jab We Met is not a typical bollywood film yet it will remind you of all the spicy & young bollywood romantic stories from bobby to dil hai ki manta nahi or even dil chahta hai. it's essentially a script writers film & though one may agree that there are several loopholes in this film....but everyone agrees to the final feel good factor which reigns supreme when u walk out of the cinema hall & this feel lingers on even after the show is over. jab we met has Fun, frolic & emotions running parallel to each other.This film will also be remembered for natural & intense On screen chemistry between shahid kapoor & kareena kapoor, the bollywood star pair which have been linked together in real life for long. Whether they exist as real life lovers is not so important now for their on screen pairing is convincing enough to make this film a hit, unlike their earlier pairing on screen...just don't miss this one.",9
"THIS REVIEW IS ONLY FOR THE FIRST RIDICULOUS 1/3 OF THE MOVIE. I DIDN'T (COULDN'T) WATCH THE ENTIRE MOVIE.

The movie is a caricature of mindless, gratuitous, explosion/chase movies. At least as much as I could stand to watch

Twelve year old director Michael Bay has made a silly and poorly crafted mess here. The only reason I can see for this is for people to get paid. The intent is for an over-the-top action fest but it's just not entertaining. It makes Jason Statham movies (which I like) look like Shakespeare. Stupid slo-mo effects that seem to be targeted at teenage boys, and silly dialog that makes you embarrassed for the actors. Reynolds like to do irreverent, but he has hitched his wagon to a bad product this time. The opening chase scene has ridiculous edits that have cars magically appearing and disappearing over and over again. There are mindless stunts that are just an excuse for CGI work. This is just poorly crafted nonsense. I made it through the long and laughable chase and hoped the story would improve. Within minutes I realized it would not, so I stopped wasting my time. I could feel the few remaining IQ points I have being sucked from my brain.

This is a stupid movie, but I'm sure everyone got paid so good for them.",1
"The pace is skincrawling slow. It's extremely boring and only has 2 actors with chops in the whole show so far,and even those are marginal. I'm done with this series.

Gotta love when producers make a garbage no-effort spin off of a masterpiece for the sake of money alone. This is a futile attempt to funnel money off the popularity of GoT.

You'll never convince me the rating on this isn't manufactured with bots etc. Read the reviews from actual humans. This show is not rated 8.7 in any sane universe. More like 3.7. I think I'll let this roll for a few seasons before even attempting another episode.",2
"Waste of time and energy. Predictable plot, poor acting.",3
"Beautiful!

What do you get when you mix one of the great auteurs with a fine appreciation for Kurt Vonnegut lassoing in Christian Bale playing a New York Jewish guy (take it from me he lives and breathes) and John David Washington (I had that friend too) with Margot Robbie (she was there and I wasn't there to protect her from the things that happened to her before we met) and well, all I can say, if you have ever experienced true friendship particularly within the spiral of familial orbits in and around NYC in the heart of the post-World War II shock waves this will speak to you.

If it offends you I do hope you find the help you seek.

Watch this with no distractions.

At least try.

They all bring a whole lot of cumulative talent so you might want to see what they all have to say to you.",10
"This movie was in my watchlist from the time it was released but today, I got the opportunity to watch it. The movie was entertaining and full of thrill and drama. The story was predictable, ofcourse you knew who will win and who will lose at the end but still movie was grasping till the end due to various additions in the simple story. The performances by all the actors was good. You can feel those characters. One thing I didn't like in the movie was the ending which I thought was little bit too much.

Overall, the movie was good and I would recommend this to everyone as these types of movies come very rearly.",7
"I have been a great fan of 'BB ki Vines' for his Youtube videos, so I watched his Tazza Khabar web series. Launching episode was good, but from 2nd episode it became disgusting, predictable and worse. There is no climax in the story, they plot may be good, but the screenplay, direction, music none of them were good. Bhubhan Bam must focus in his youtube career, instead of doing these. I personally feel his videos far better than this. Most of the youtubers think they are good by changing there field, but they should remember that they are Youtubers and must not forget the support audiences shown for his videos. So insted of becoming popular, by making series or movie, he should focus on his youtube videos. Overall, I will say the series was an average one-time watchable series.",6
Movie could not live up to the expected standard. Couldnt find the quality and the feeling of realism we found In Harry Potter movies. This is too much I believe,6
"I am really sorry to say that after ""Hateful 8"" I wasn't expecting much from this movie, but i was hoping for a ""wow"" factor...which never came...I can get that there's no actual story, no actual plot throughout the movie (nothing actually happens) because Tarantino wanted to show Hollywood in its grandness, and..I accept that...but...what he did with the Bruce Lee scene?? Cannot accept the mocking and the laughters that that scene originated in the theatre...it was made with that purpose, and it was absolutely horrible. And the end...for me it was somewhat offensive towards everything that actually happened..and I left disappointed...and sad for not having felt that effect that Tarantino movies used to have...",4
The Hollywood machine has now fully catored to pre-teen and early teen rubble. They just keep pumping out complete garbage like this. If you're one of the ones that thinks this type of movie deserves a 10 - you're the problem with everything in the world. Harry Potter was more mature than this and was significantly better at that. Way to ruin a superhero movie at its finest.,2
Hhm i decided to go to the cinema to watch the movie and i realised that i slept for 3 and a half hours...at the end of the movie i just woke up and i instantly regreted the price of the ticket...but i SOLVED MY SLEEP PROBLEMS !!! now i can sleep at night !!!!,5
"This is for season 2: Veers away from the books more than season 1 did, but still retains various elements of the books. Some parts from the books have been very well realised , e.g. I thought Codringer and Fenn were almost exactly how I would imagine them to be so to Neneke the priestess of Melitele. A criticism would be that the world seems much smaller than in the books, with everyone teleporting to different places and journeys taking minutes not weeks (like In the books) the show misses the vastness and diversity of the kingdoms and also the pains and adventures experienced in these journeys the books so very well describe - it almost seems the the whole programme is taking place in one - say - county of England! This is a sacrifice I suppose when transferring to TV but I'd say Peter Jackson managed to capture the scale of LOTT very well for middle Earth. I do like season 2 and feel like I don't know what's going to happen next - due to it being so different to the books but as mentioned feel like the scale of the continent and different kingdoms has not been correctly translated here which does change the whole experience of the Witcher in my opinion.",8
". . . it doesn't deserve its current (Mar 2014) score of 8.1 -- that is more than just a tad over-generous.

Yes, the visual effects were pretty cool, but aside from that, it was pretty predictable, and very slow-to-the-point. More than once caught myself thinking ""Oh c'mon, shut-up and get on with it, or just die already"".

Rather than being what I expected -- a suspenseful-action-sci-fi flick -- its basically one of those ""personal angst"" sagas -- films where the main character(s) continually self-analyze themselves-to-death. It was almost as bad as a angst-filled, over-dramatized, Meloni-Hartigay episode of Law & Order SVU -- you know the ones I mean, where you can cut the petty, angst-filled tension with a butter knife.

Needless to say, these ""watch someone agonize over their pathetic life"" movies are not for me. I expected to see action, and action, then more action, not an insecure, depressed 30-something doubting herself and her life's value for 90 minutes. Truth be told, every time it got slow, and Stone (Bullock) started talking to or pitying herself again, I grabbed the remote and hit Fast-Forward until it got to something cool.

Yes, it was worth the $1.27 rental fee at the RedBox, and the hour it took to watch it (thank God for Fast-Fwd), but man am I ever glad I didn't waste an evening, and drop $20 + Snack Bar cash at the theater to see it. Dollar for dollar, the overnight DVD rental, two 6-packs of beer, and a pizza would be a much sounder investment.

Seriously, I think you'll agree 5 stars is more than fair for Gravity.",5

"Just finished watching Season 2 and can confidently say that it was the best ""superhero"" themed cinema since Dark Knight, better than whole MCU. Not because it's funnier but because it's more relevant. In fact, ""superhero"" aspect is secondary to excellent satire of both American/western sugar-coating ""right-wing"" and virtue-signalling ""left-wing"", as well as their beloved neo-feudal corporatocracy. The only thing that I find silly and misguided is portrayal of corporatist media as an actual neutral party instead of the collection of propagandist oligarchical mouthpieces and memetic trend fire-fanning opportunists that it is.

I also quite enjoyed Butcher's ""British"" accent that so many Brits seem to despise for its ""fakeness"", yet have no problem with ceaseless mockery of ""accents"" for every other language, such as joke of a ""Russian"" accent from Season 2.

This is how we in non-western world see America/NATO/OECD and hear British.",6
"Movie wise, action all along. Site selection is poor and does not attract myself as a Bangladeshi. People who were supposed to speak in Bengali, somehow have some weird accent. And surely, drug lords do not control the Army, police may be under them, not the Army. Also, if you want get into some hole in Dhaka, it is the easiest thing you can do with 200 million people living in here. Bad selection of site.",2
"First, this is billed as a comedy. At the showing we saw, nobody laughed. At all. Nobody. The only reason I did not rate this lower was that there were a lot of fine actors portraying their roles with skill. Unfortunately, the characters are two-dimensional, the plot is silly at best, and even the cinematography is frequently cartoonish. There were whole scenes that were amateurishly animated. Many lines that I think were supposed to be shocking just came off dumb. Having funny stuff going on in the background can be a great device when used with skill, such as in Police Squad or even Mad Magazine, but then the background stuff has to actually be funny. None of this movie was. I'm sorry I paid money for this film, but even if it had been free I still resent the waste of time.",5
"As every single other Scorcese movie, this one is strangely as well as massively overrated.

I'll make this simple: if you're not sucked into the senseless, remote action going on there's nothing left but the weakest and most pernicious and ambiguous moral at the end.

The film is completely random in every possible way: the worst way being at its core, it is nihilistic and unnecessarily bleak. The entire first part of the film for instance with Cybill Shepherd serves no purpose in the storyline but is rather a fully interchangeable/disposable introduction to the film and means to merely convey the notion Deniro's character longs for emotional connection and companionship, but they could've replaced that entire part with a number of other ones in a way that wouldn't shake up the story at all.

There's no explanation or significant reason for the turn of events and the change in texture and atmosphere of the film as Deniro's character becomes exceedingly more extreme: just as everything in this darn thing, conclusions are jumped to and never given a prior development. Things just happen, because the movie-makers (writer and director) were disturbingly inept at their jobs of creating coherent structure and developing a plot and its various ideas.

Some scenes are just purely random (why the attempted assassination of Palantine ?), added to the just as unnecessary violence and this here is only a 'personal nightmare' for the viewer, not Deniro's character and what not.

Philosophically bleak, not dark or haunting just bleak, as in stupid and morally violent, and pernicious. Influential ? This couldn't influence a hair in my nose. Terrible cinema, terrible story telling, terrible everything. Okay dialogue, De Niro's good...

2/10.",2
"The first time I saw Pulp fiction I loved it, or so i thought. Now rewatching it I just couldn't stand through the whole thing. Quentin's movies are not for everyone that's for sure.",6
"I enjoyed the series (didn't read the books or played the games). Granted, the timelines are a bit confusing. I was told before and read forums about it while watching the first episode. And after the third (!) episode I could follow the beats of the story easily.

Why did they do the confusing timlines? I guess that they would not have been able to depict how the characters got together if they had divided it into 3 Chapters titled ""Geralt"", ""Ciri"" and ""Yennefer"" with 3 Episodes each. Then the audience would have forgotten what happened in the first Chapter once they reached the end of the last and you wouldn't have had the great sensation of the time lines flowing into each other in the end.

This is sword and sorcery, not the war and family saga that is ""Game of Thrones"" , also no innovative new world like ""Harry Potter"" or ""His Dark Materials"". As a fan of good old sword and sorcery (think D&D or a mix of ""Lord of the Rings"" and ""Conan the Babarian"") I enjoyed it a lot and will now read the books. The heroes are fighting monsters, love each other, hate each other meet strange creatures and people like a stryga, elves and dwarves and are convincing enough that you care for them.

As for the production quality. I didn't see any issues here (and yes, I know that series like ""Shannara"" reached the buttom there). We don't have big battles with thousands of warriors and dragons with the 5 mile wingspans (yet). But it looks and feels right.

I liked the actors. Most of all Henry Cavill. But also both female protagonists played by new and talented actresses Anya Chalotra and Freya Allan are geat. Recurring side characters like Jaskier, Calanthe and Tissaia are really convincing.

All in all great fun. Give it a go if you are into fantasy! Put +1 on my rating if you like Dungeons & Dragons, the Witcher video games or Warhammer Fantasy.",8
Finished the series today and the ending was so awful I just can't even. Normally love Marvel but this was just beyond awful. Love Loki's character but this series was so pathetic it made me mad.,1

"So they tried, but failed. The only reason I made it through to the end, was because I was hoping for closure. I did get some and the very last scene was slightly comical and satisfying. I am so glad I saw this on a streaming service and not at the theater! I would not recommend to anyone. It just made no sense and had a ton of holes. I do have to say that it started off promising, but the delivery fails at about 20 minutes in. It was bland, confusing, and had non-likeable characters. Ok concept, but absolutely terrible delivery. If you are thinking about watching it, maybe watch the first 20 minutes and the last 5 minutes. Then, you don't waste an hour and a half of your life. So disappointed.",2
This is what I'm talking about! They made captain America look so weak in the first avengers movie. So glad they made it up with this. Great action intense fighting scene that make you feel like your in the fight. In this movie you get to see how the cap truly works with his abilities. Very good story line. It's cool how you see the captain America movies get better and better.,10
"I find it worthwhile to see this film, and it's one of the great films I've seen",6
"I started watching this show with much expectations, just like almost everything that Ed O'Neill ever starred in since Married with children. The comedy script is very successful. Casting is great, though I think that age of Ed O'Neill finally catching up with him. Sometimes it's still possible to catch a glimpse of old Al Bundy, but he is basically looks very tired, and just wants people to let him be. There is another thing, Sofia Vergara. Don't get me wrong, she plays her part very well as passionate Columbian woman and all the comedy goes with ""gold digging"" and such. Maybe it's just me, but the problem is that she's too sexy for this comedy. I can watch episode and laugh until she enters the screen, and than I feel as I'm waiting for much more adult content. Despite her being the absolute attraction of this show, it's ironically that it's her presence on screen, is the thing that disrupts this comedy - therefore it's 8/10 and not more. Other than this, in my opinion, this comedy is better than how I met your mother - which I like, so it's definitely worth to watch.",8
"The Batman franchise in tatters after Batman & Robin, then fresh director Christopher Nolan stepped up to direct the beginning of a reboot series of films starting with Batman Begins. A hit back in 2005, the film starred Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne.

An origin story, Batman Begins aims to flesh out the comic book character a lot more, giving him a somewhat more realistic Gotham City to defend, trying to stick a bit closer to the comics this time. Gone is the gothic noir style of the Tim Burton films, along with the neon-lit cartoon energy of the Joel Schumacher films making way for Nolan's slick and modern touch. Here was a superhero movie that didn't feel too theatrical for once, embracing more of a Michael Mann thriller kind of vibe. We follow Bruce Wayne as he joins the League Of Shadows under the watchful eye of new mystery ally Ra's Al Ghul, who guides him to become a vigilante. Traumatized by his parents' death, Bruce decides not to seek vengeance, instead hoping to scare off the criminals poisoning Gotham, quite literally.

The first hour of the film is a surprisingly sober approach to the Batman character. Bruce Wayne is our main focus, the whole thing feels like a samurai film: there are no eccentric creeps jumping in with catchphrases, no gadgets and gizmos whatsoever. The painstakingly slow build-up to showing the hero in action is bold considering the audience waited nearly 10 years to see the beloved character on the big screen again but Nolan throws enough foreshadowing and not very subtle winks in there to make it a bearable wait. The second half of the film is very different in tone as it attempts to deliver the goods to the fans. New villain Scarecrow (Cillian Murphy) is brought in with a ludicrous masterplan to terrorize Gotham City with his fear toxin as Batman finally gets a chance to try out his wonderful new toys.

The potential here is obvious. Batman Begins is a pretty-looking film with top-notch cinematography, gorgeous lighting, enhanced by a powerful Hans Zimmer score which still, somehow, falls quite short of Danny Elfman's originals, or even Elliot Goldenthal's efforts. The Batman suit looks good, as do his usual accessories, but something is slightly off nonetheless. Christian Bale's performance is genuinely very good but he does not look right in the suit, I'm sorry to say, and his Batman voice is wildly inconsistent to the point where it's clear to everyone watching that less would've been more in this case. We aren't treated to a traditional Batmobile. What we get a big tank-looking thing nicknamed ""The Tumbler"", which is an interesting change but only feels like a placeholder until Batman's real car is revealed in later movies (don't hold your breath for that one).

Ra's Al Ghul is a solid villain to use for this story but a lot more should've been done with Scarecrow who is given little to no screen time and a disappointingly unceremonious and abrupt send off. Cillian Murphy's over-the-top approach to the character worked as an enjoyable contrast to the serious tone of the other baddies. The final act of the film should've been a wild Inception-style trip into Gotham's nightmares but it falls flat. It's hard to warm up to Bruce Wayne or his love interest Rachel (Katie Holmes) in this film: there's just no chemistry between them and they feel alien to us because the writing is very surface level. Here's a script that had the right idea but needed some meat on its bones, especially in the dialog department. Other new addition Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman) is a useful character to tie everything together while Michael Caine is an inspired casting choice for Alfred.

With Batman Begins, Christopher Nolan took a comic book character we all knew very well and fleshed him out, reintroducing his story brilliantly from a different angle entirely, showing off his own directing skills in the process, finally getting us excited for this franchise once again. There's a lot of room for improvement here, this is a rookie effort in many ways, but it's nothing a good script and iconic villain like The Joker can't fix, as we all know.",6
Honestly I wasn't too sure about this when I first watched it but it hooked me so I decided to continue. Then came season two and by the first episode my socks were blown off and they flew around the world! I now love this show and put it as one of my favs.,10
Barely any action and the movie just ended. Horrible ending,2

"I haven't read the books, so I""m coming from that perspective without the background a book can give you. So far the series is good....definitely entertaining...Cavill as Geralt of Rivia was a solid casting choice...and Anya Chalotra is excellent as the witch Yennifer, at least in the beginning....the story is so so....not very clear and only semi-mythic....it doesn't have the epicness of GOT....and barely enough meat on the bones in terms of background for the characters, world building, and coherency behind the magic theory. I've got the feeling if I read the books things would make more sense. I will definitely continue to watch the series though and look forward to the next season.",9
"It is so refreshing to see a film that does not follow the standard Hollywood blueprint. Amsterdam brings a style and sensibility that is purely its own to the screen and uses it to tell a story that manages to be both entertaining and topical.

The less you know about the plot, the better for your appreciation. The amazing cast are uniformly excellent, with special credit to Anya Taylor-Joy who plays ""spoiled rich bitch"" with utter joy. The plot may be a bit heavy-handed with its relevance to the current political situation in the USA (or maybe it has always been that way). For example, the would-be assassin shouting ""I'm a veteran and a patriot"" feels uncomfortably 'now'.

The centre of this film is about love & friendship and the choices we make to sacrifice these things in the name of ambition, power, money and acceptance by those whom we are told we should be seeking it from, but are actually unworthy of it.

Choose love and friendship. Reject hate and greed.

Not a bad message.",9
"Unpersuasive, boring, uninteresting, exactly same lame production as Batman v Superman. Gal Gadot tried her best but most of the time she is there just to be pretty. The whole movie lacked mostly the good action. The story didn't develop well. Felt like they tried to squeeze everything in 2 hours. Just bad-",2
"Inception is a film that thinks it's too clever by half and then sets about insulting its audience by presuming they have no brain. No amount of pseudo-intelligence, rubbish dialogue and overuse of special effects can redeem this pile of junk. An inferior video game masquerading as high art.

Christopher Nolan thinks he is a great director by basing his story on Freudian assumptions and psycho-babble but the dialogue is incomprehensible and the use of A-listers to carry the film shows that they are far more interested in making money than utilising their acting skills.",1
"I'm giving this 3 stars solely based on the fact that somehow other people are liking it. I tried. Really. I watched the first 2 episodes and decided my time was worth more than to waste it on this show. The plot is just bleh. I've heard the books are better so I may give that a go, but the show just plods along at a snail pace. I didn't understand what the stakes were. She gets access to this long lost book. So what? Everyone is after is just because? It's powerful?

I will be honest, I tried the show for the romance. I heard that it was a good vampire romance, as per the book, so I had medium to high expectations. The romance just isn't there. I know Mathew Goode can act, but Jesus in this he has the emotional capacity of a white brick. And Teresa Palmer has never been able to act, so she gets a pass.

After 2 episodes I still didn't know anyone's names nor did I care to learn them. The side characters were just awful. Boring, annoying, etc.

This show could have succeeded if it was targeting a teen audience. But as a serious, adult drama? It's so thinly set up I can't see why anyone sits through the episodes.

Twilight is better. At least Twilight can be entertainingly bad. This show wasn't even bad in a fun way. It was bad in a boring way.

Would never recommend to anyone.",3

"My husband was watching this and I tried to. The plot sounded interesting, but too many ""little"" things that left me shaking my head. As several other reviewers have pointed out, the costumes were unbelievable, the people were too clean to have been pre historic. Why didn't the whole tribe go on the hunt? A teenage boy at that time would have been a man with a mate and would have known how to do everything the other men knew. Where did they get those round, painted rocks to put on the grave. I sure didn't see any laying around on the prairie. It looked like winter with snow during a lot of the movie, so where did the flies come from? I'm glad I was home and could entertain myself with games on my iPad and read the reviews.",1
"Ok one thing, is this better than the first one? Yes.

Is it way better? Not really, no.

The film has a very mediocre and simple story, the backstory of Cleatus and Shriek shows enough for us to understand the twos relationship but other than that, the two are very underwhelming in this film.

The action also felt very mediocre, it was total mayhem (not in a good way). Carnage throwing things and people around like a 4 year old playing with Legos. Can't really see much of what's going on, the kills could have been a bit more brutal, even with the PG-13 rating in mind, keeping the action small and personal rather than large and loud. However the action at the end of the film was exciting compared to the rest of the film.

Venom doesn't do much in the film actionwise, you don't see him fighting bad guys that often (until the end), but he still remained the highlight of the film, especially him and Eddie's relationship and the difficulty of two minds in one body.

The film feels rushed in some places. Jumping from scene to scene and shot to shot, not letting the viewer savour or process the information told in the scene. The direction also feels very simple, there's not much attempt at creating suspense and fear in the film except 2-3 scenes.

The writing as well is very simple. Silly and kiddish dialogue like ""I'm going to eat ur face off"" makes you laugh instead of cringe. Woody Harrelson had the potential of being a great carnage, but the writing didn't support it, making Cleatus a poet in the film and saying random things in the film. The same points follow with Naomi Harris as Shriek. Tom Hardy still does a stellar, and even better job of playing as Eddie and Venom.

At the end, the film feels very forgetful, nothing very memorable from the film compared to venom 1. If you really enjoyed the silliness, the comedy, and the mayhem of the first film, this one is for you. If you enjoy the darker themes of venom, and are hoping for a more brutal and darker take on the character, don't expect too much of that. If you didn't enjoy the first movie, skip on this one.

But don't forget, what is potentially, one of the most mindblowing post credit scenes, which had to make me bump the score of the film from a 5 to a 6.",5
"The world today seems heavily reflected in this movie. Like SALT I'm left wishing for a sequel as there appears to be far more to this story even after almost 2 1/2 hours, well done.",9
"I don't understand Cavill's characterisation - particularly that affected voice constantly forced to be deeper and grottier, when we all know that it's Henry's natural voice. It is distracting to say the least. Also found the direction lacking throughout - I'm all for stories that jump back and forth in time to let the viewer piece the puzzle as the episodes progress but in this instance it is delivered inconsistently and without adding anything to the drama of the storyline.",6
"I don't know how deeply I want to get into this. It's like stepping into a septic tank.

So let's keep it short. Keanu Reeves is John Wick, wearing a cloak of ordinariness. Some Russian miscreants insult him at a gas station. That night, they break into his house, beat hell out of him, steal his car, and kill his dog. Well! The beating, yes; the car maybe; but the dog -- NO! His response is first-order change. He knows who dunnit because he just retired from a Special Ops group and he's skilled at martial arts, the use of deadly weapons, and has a talent with macramé. None of these guys with a hidden past ever turns out to have been a busboy or a plumber.

Similarly, the bad guys, as here, tend to be either Germans, Russians, or Arabs. We've never quite forgiven the Germans for World War II. Russia was balanced on the fence but now with Putin in charge, a dictator manqué, they seem to be fair game again. I'm certain that in the crepuscular recesses of Hollywood board rooms they are DYING to drag Muslims into the narratives but it wouldn't be PC now, would it? The plot? Oh, the plot. John Wick shoulders his way through a crowded night club where the Russkies hang out and shoots everyone who looks disagreeable. His gun is quick. And he's thorough. One ugly adversary gets three bullets in the abdominal cavity and one in the center of the forehead. The wounded lying on the floor, he shoots and kills more or less in passing, not really paying much attention to them. That's just the first brutal encounter. Several others follow.

In between massacres there are a few minutes of metaphysical discourse. ""John, what happened? You and I were colleagues."" ""Yes, but bonds fade with time."" ""Surely some symbolic interactionism persists."" ""Well -- YES AND NO."" ""At least as the systemic level!"" ""But not as individual traits."" ""But how can you KNOW that?"" ""My epistemological intuition."" (Bang, shoots interlocutor in center of forehead, dead center on the saggital suture.) By the end, Wick has either killed or brought about the death of dozens of men and women. Willem DaFoe dies horribly, for reasons never explained. It was just time for another bloody killing, I guess.

Someone else suggested that this was a perfect action movie because it had nothing much other than perfect action. And if you don't like action movies, then stay away from them. I suppose I don't like most action movies -- the Stallones, the Schwarzeneggers, the van Damms, although I have a few on DVDs if they have something going for them besides blood -- if the narrative is properly jelled (""The Bourne Identity"") or if its so silly it's amusing (""The Terminator"") -- but ""John Wick"" takes itself seriously, as if it were structured in a way that distinguishes it from one of those skin flick with just enough of a thin plot to link the sexual episodes, the genre that begins with a happily married couple, then drags in a new lover for each, then the chauffeur, then the mule, and so on. Yet, the perceptive viewer is able to discern a moral message beneath the mayhem. Leave dogs alone.

Why go on? John Wick, Chapter 2, is already in theaters.",3
"Fargo is a 1996 black comedy/crime drama film directed by Ethan and Joel Coen (The Coen Brothers) and stars William H. Macy, Frances McDormand and Steve Buscemi. Often seen as the film that launched the Coen Brothers successful career, Fargo without a doubt deserves all the credit it receives. The story focuses around a spineless, nervous car salesman who arranges for his wife to be kidnapped and held for a ransom of $80,000 to extort from his wealthy father-in-law and boss, in his desperation for money to repay an outstanding loan. Which ends up going horrifically wrong resulting in a series of grizzly murders. Fargo fantastically blends its sharp wit of dry humour and black comedy with its gruesome, thrilling and intriguing narrative, the two seem to go hand-in-hand perfectly with Fargo having scenes that will have you bursting out laughing and others on the edge of your seat. Fargo also features beautiful cinematography with wide, expansive shots of snow covered landscapes as well as a fitting dark and unsettling soundtrack. Each actor/actress completely owns their character making their motivations and actions clear, as well as relatable. Fargo has but a few nit-picking flaws, such as a particular scene which seems unnecessary to the advancement of the plot and feels out of place, in which Frances McDormand's character meets an old friend. Another is a plot-line which focused around Peter Stormare's character Gaear Grimsrud- not enough of the story was focused around his role as it should or could have been, also another flaw being the slight overuse of the word 'ya'. Overall, Fargo is a phenomenal film, both winning 2 well deserved Oscar's and launching the Coen Brothers career onto a new level, proving they are two of the greatest filmmakers of the modern film era. Not forgetting notifying the world of the traditional (and comedic) Minnesotan accent. Fargo is hilarious, violent, tense and intriguing. 9/10",9
"'Batman Begins' was a symbol of identity. 'The Dark Knight' was a symbol of hope. The Dark Knight Rises is a symbol of liberation. To release one's self from the shackles of our own imprisonment. Providing deliverance to the civilians of Gotham City, oppressed by both the disappearance of Batman and Bane's arrival, a physically intimidating terrorist. Gotham is thriving from the exploitations of a lie. A fabrication. The Dent Act. Eradicating organised crime and sentencing those criminals to life imprisonment within the walls of Blackgate Penitentiary. Batman, as the caped crusader, may not be wanted anymore. Yet he lives on, manifesting his iconography into the souls who witnessed his arresting power.

Nolan's conclusive act in his rebooted trilogy serves as a reflection on America's political, economical and social structures. However, it's just not a very good mirror. It's cracked. Damaged by the success of its legendary predecessor that meshed realism with superhero shenanigans perfectly.

Right, where to begin? The Dark Knight Rises is over two and half hours long. There is so much plot stuffed into that runtime, that the feature itself becomes plot and only plot. Essentially, it's all plot. Nearly every single line of dialogue from the Nolans' screenplay alludes to a plot mechanic, sub-plot, plot structure or foreshadowed plot point, resulting in minimal characterisation throughout. For example, after the events of 'The Dark Knight', Bruce Wayne becomes a recluse in his own lavish mansion. For eight years, he did nothing. Selina Kyle prowls the corridors one night, stealing pearls from a seemingly ""uncrackable safe"", and all of a sudden he shifts back into the Batsuit ready to take on Bane. The only genuine development between that transition is when Alfred endearingly confronts Master Wayne about burning Rachel's letter. That's it. In fact, throughout the entire feature, that precise scene is the only authentic moment where two characters interacted without having to further the plot. Another example? ""Hotshot"" John Blake becomes conveniently promoted to detective, just because Gordon believes he represents the idealism that the Commissioner once held, and somehow deduces Wayne's secret identity. Why? Well it's so that Wayne returns as Batman, Blake investigates Bane's implausibly merciless plan and to build up Blake's real identity right at the end of the film. There are no organic conversations between these two righteous individuals, inevitably forcing them to be mere objects for a narrative derived from a multitude of plots. This vacuous aura that envelops Gotham and its residents consequently produces an incredibly inconsistent pace.

The initial plane siege over Uzbekistan, powered by Zimmer's monumental score, exemplified Nolan's insistence for practical effects and categorically commenced the blockbuster with excitement. Bane's introduction was memorable, with CIA agents building him up to be the most imposing terrorist ever, and cemented a visceral style for the character. Then, for the next hour, nothing happens. Plot thickening agents for Tate's fusion reactor project, corporate rival Daggett whom is funding Bane and his mercenaries, attacking Gotham Stock Exchange to bankrupt Wayne Enterprises. That's not even a third of the sub-plots! Fast forward to a brawl between Batman and Bane, acting as a test of physical strength, and the adrenaline ramps up again. Only to then rapidly diminish minutes later when Wayne is thrown into an underground prison and must endure Gotham's reckoning as Bane traps the entire police force within tunnels after exploding half of the island. Well, you get the idea. All these plots, all these strands of franchise building/closing, are haphazardly edited together by Smith. One scene includes Batman, then cuts to Kyle, then Bane, then Daggett, then Fox, then Tate, then Blake, then Gordon and then back to Batman. Nolan, simply put, cannot juggle all of these characters and plots coherently. Some, admittedly, are more interesting than others.

Then we get to the conclusive act, which turns an unbalanced yet tonally somber feature into an absolute mess. Terribly executed character reveals, a complete loss of real-time, the worst death sequence to ever grace our screens and resolving a hundred million sub-plots in the space of twenty minutes. The snowy second brawl between Batman and Bane was clunky, with a fighting style that was obviously choreographed instead of inhibiting natural fluidity. The inadequacy of certain early demises essentially destroyed the thin character development that preceded, again, likening individuals to plot devices. And the essential buildup to anarchy never really resolved itself.

The harshness of my critiquing is at the forefront due to the excellence this trilogy has previously provided. Make no mistake, there are meritorious attributes to The Dark Knight Rises. Hardy's body-language exuded a menacing demeanour. Bale, as Wayne, builds himself up stoically and with subtle complexions. Hathaway certainly looked the part as Catwoman, exercising her typically nice persona with a ""bad girl"" attitude. Zimmer's score, as always, delivers in the bass department, turning the most menial scenes into epic tapestries. Pfister's cinematography, especially the IMAX sequences, were beautifully shot and saturated colours enhanced the suppressed environment of Gotham.

Objectively speaking, The Dark Knight Rises is a technically astute blockbuster. Narratively though? Not in the slightest. It's a mess. Borderline boring. A case of too many ingredients unable to simmer in a broth of explosive potential. Nolan completes his renowned trilogy in a dissatisfying conclusion that, unfortunately, many will not admit to being mediocre. Marking this feature as Nolan's weakest film to date, in what is a stellar filmography.",5
"This film was pretty good, it was like a mixture of The Happening, A Quiet Place and The Mist. It had me engaged for most of the film and was entertaining, keeping you on the edge for most of it. The ending could've been better and was relatively predictable (to me at least). Very good for a Netflix movie. I think 7/10 is very fair and would recommend people to see it if they have some time to kill.",7
"Confusing, incoherent, muddled and awfully scripted. What on earth have they done. Get a proper show runner to oversee this. It's got good elements to it but not that many. Poor. Very poor.",5
"We're use to super heroes = good and villains = bad. This show changes that narrow perspective.

I either liked or disliked all of the main characters. That's a good thing. The writers/actors/directors did their job well.

Definitely intense for some viewers, but a good show if you're tired of recycled super hero movies and TV shows. Expect a lot of cursing, graphic violence and sexual situations during this show.",8
"Every since movies like Carlitos way, Scar Face, and especially Blow, Hollywood has tried to get the fire burning again for a big drug/cartel type film. One that could generate millions with its awe inducing illusion that its about anything more than greedy minded, drug running bull mess. Sure there have been other movies in the same sub genre, but far too often the protagonists, just like in American Made, were just run of the mill people that didnt have to take part in such activities, they chose to, despite already living fairly easy going, normal, drama free lives.

But then you look at films like Empire, where the main characters are mostly people that grew up poor and had little other recourse than to get involved in drugs, as there was virtually zero upward mobility in their urban communities and lives all around.

Not to excuse what they did, but perspective is key in this life to really see the full picture of the ""whys"" and the ""hows"" of things.

The main character, Barry Seal(s), in American Made, was already living a very comfy, well paying career as a commercial airline pilot, with a family that was easily able to liveo n the good amount of money he brought in since they dwelt in the southern states in the 1970s ( ITs still affordable even to this day tbh). The man didnt need to get into al lthe mess he did, and there were times he could have pulled out. BUt he got greedy, and bored, and like many apathetic westerners that want it easy, they dont care whom they screw over in the process of ""getting their own"". And no doubt that predeliction for self centered devil may care pursuits of happiness are not wholly unique to us in the west, we cant lie to ourselves either. Our government and much of our society from top to bottom has either taken par in or been complacent in the sheer subjegation and torment of those not like ourselves, especially in Latin America over the last 200 years.

Suffice to say, this film does nothing to show the detrimental effects of what the drugs and arms, and overall amrican nosey busy body minded shenanigangs of our government have dont to people south of the border. Especially in central America, and ESPECIALLY in Nicaragua the scorched earth policies, and near genocidal attitudes used against those people was in many ways as bad if not at times worse than what the USA did in Vietnam.

Sure this was a somwhat entertaining movie, but it also told a story abotu the truth , much of it was in fact very true; the Sandinistas were not commies, were not involved with drugs and terrorism, the Contras and American soliers that were always invading were.

It almost felt like American Made was just trying to muddy the issue, while at other itmes desperately trying to show people the truth of what happened, without thedirectors and writers having men in black show up at their front doors at 2 in the morning as a result of this movies existence. Hollywood is as rife with lies and agendas most foul and dark as government and religion and banking etc.

If nothing else, have a good time watching a movie about nothing but drugs and nonsense. Its a Tome Cruise movie so thats most of what hes been involved in throughout his career. But take to heart the fact that the character of Barry Seal(s) was but one of countless money men, drug traffickers, gun smugglers, spies, liars, murderers, thugs, thieves, blood thirsty politicians and soldiers, and all around racist, jerky people to put it mildly, in America and certain central american countries that hated Nicaraguans, and tried to kill as many as possible while attempting to take over the country for ""uncle sam"" throughout most of the 20th century. All this crap didnt just begin in the 1970s or 80. It all goes back to when Taft was US PRez a few years before the first world war, and continued on and off almost every decade. And still the poor country of NIcaragua is has been messed with by America in the 21st century. So have a laugh, zone out at this Hollywood fable. And try to research the truth if your able. PE@ce.",6
"I kept watching this movies because of the visual effects and the cinematography in addition to the world class acting however the story is boring and the pace of the movie is really slow that's why I give it 5/10.

"With universal themes such as redemption, friendship, and good-defeats-evil tale, and without any significant technical flaws, it may be difficult to dislike Shawshank Redemption, one of well-done Hollywood flicks in the 90s by invisible employee directors, while it may also be difficult to find it compelling, imaginative, and inspirational.

"This is one of the most famous superhero movie sequels of all-time! And although I don't believe it is overall better than the first film, it is still a worthy follow-up. Doctor Octopus is an even better villain than The Green Goblin and the cast are still at their best, but I'm not really a fan of the Spider-Man losing his powers storyline. Other than that this is a very good sequel, with higher highs than the first film, but lower lows.",8
"A lot of people say this is the best movie they have seen this year so far. I just wonder why.

This year so far The Avengers still remains to be beaten. The movie Dark Knight Rises is not bad at all there was just something about the movie that just didn't click for me. Just like I went to see the avengers (staying away from previews and write ups about it so as to be surprised by the events) so did I for Dark Knight Rises. In the case of Avengers I was swept of my feet, while here I just sat still.

Nolan only agreed to a third film on the basis of finding a worthwhile story, fearing that he would become bored halfway through production if he discovered the film to be unnecessary. He later came up with a story with the aid of his brother.

The studio after seeing the success of Joker in The Dark Knight, wanted to have the Riddler as the villain but Nolan went for Bane instead. The thing that will trip you about this movie is Selina Kyle; Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) was well delivered and captured my very eye. The character is very similar to that of the comics and was SEXY. But on the argument on whether Michelle Pfeiffer or Anne Hathaway delivered the best version of the Cat, well looking at how the stories were written Pfeiffer has the upper hand due to the fact that the Batman Returns (1992) focused on her somewhat, while here she was just a character. But if that is set aside I will pick Michelle's adaptation for the whole psycho fun she put into it.

The plot of the movie goes: It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the crime rate in Gotham has also dropped massively. The plan between the Bat and commissioner Gordon was going well till a terrorist group and their leader comes into Gotham.

The raid of the group opens wounds, and tears a father son relationship that Bruce had. The terrorist Bane was not the only one bring in the blues in to Wayne's life, a mysterious thief known as Selina Kyle too was roaming the street.

A series of unfortunate events leads to the comic history between the Bat, Bane and where Bane broke the Bats back. Now the Bat is out of commission and Gotham is at its knees, Who will save them? We all know the answer, The Bat.

As acting, goes Bale did well, but Anne Hathaway stole the show. The directing is not flawed at all Nolan is a master movie maker and all respect must be given to him. But the story to me was as weak as bread on water, and the movie was just too long for me.

Will I be seeing this movie again? Not really. But I dare you to miss this flick, regardless of what anyone says it is a movie to see.",6
"In the first 16 minutes of the film the story seems to be established. Ovi Jr. is kidnapped, Tyler is hired to rescue him, they have studied their opponent Amir Asif and the rescue operation kicks in from the 17th minute. The 1 hour 57 minutes long film, just takes 16 minutes to set up the story and from the 17th minute to 103rd minute seems to be the climax and then the credits start rolling. 99% of the screen time is given to Tyler and Ovi Jr., which is just the fight scenes- this makes the film kind of monotonous.",4
"So, you want to get your show noticed in 2022? Aim to be featured on the Tumblrs, Twitters, etc. Plan to have snappy dialogue delivered by attractive actors who somehow exist outside any boundaries or limitations. Make sure you have one or two jaw-dropping scenes, just enough to keep people's interest throughout the show's run.

This is not a condemnation. The creators are playing to the times which embraces short term returns over a long term payoff. It's everywhere, businesses, schools, healthcare, and so on. The script has been flipped: long term planning is now seen as naive and foolish. Why wouldn't you want to maximize profits now? Why wait?

But back to the show...it's visually impressive and the dragons are a highlight. Some settings adjustments were required for viewing the darker scenes, but that may be due to my TV. My first impression was noting how much the actors seemed to be ""acting."" It was like watching a local theater rehearsal with everyone wearing costumes and wigs and going over their lines.

I will admit here that I really wanted to like this show as I am a fan of fantasy and welcome new additions to a sparse selection.

Once I accepted the situation, even the ridiculous looking wigs on the Velaryons, I was able to get somewhat immersed in the stories. It helps that there are numerous online opportunities to fill in the gaps of information. There just isn't the depth of development that GOT had. Therefore, the Big Events didn't register as anything more than a typical jump scare. The scene in episode 8 would obviously be featured in multiple memes. And that was the point, grab the attention, then move on to the next Big Event. It's easier and more efficient than telling a story.

Not that this method doesn't allow for some shining moments. The King's performance in episode 8 and the introduction of Aemond were standouts. The time jumps were jarring but necessary to preserve the focus on shocking events. Therefore, the final's big event was less fulfilling story wise because I didn't ""know"" the character. The chase was exciting and well done, and this was a pivotal moment in the overall story. It just felt like another meme created moment.

I will tune in to the next season, however. According to the internet, this first season was a set up for the main story. Maybe the writers will allow some more character development? That is, if the executives allow it. So, if all that's available are crumbs of fantasy on TV, then I guess I'll dine on crumbs.",7
Not much of a story but the action scenes were enough to warrant this movie a solid rating,7

"If you loved Venom, don't watch this movie. If you respect Tom Hardy, look the other way. Sequels are almost always damaging to a great original. This one is more than devastating. The only venom was in how it poisoned the Venom name and image of the much smarter & entertaining original. The real carnage in this movie was the destruction of fans' belief that Mr. Hardy wouldn't choose to waste his talent on a third-rate movie. Just making a monster cartoonishly larger and pumping up the volume of a cacophony of often laughable scenes of demolition does not a bigger hit make. But the noise did help keep me from falling asleep from the lame, contrived, and yawn-inducing ""plot""!",3
"Don't get me wrong, the Harry Potter series is great in its own right with good stories and characters, however I was not impressed at all with this frankly not good spin off. What little story it had was passable but boring, and talk about an over reliance on CGI to carry your story. I understand that creating magical monsters requires help from technology but seriously were there any practical effects? I appreciate CG when done right but this movie may as well have been animated since nothing feels real. This movie bored me to tears when it wasn't blatantly trying to remind me of better things in Harry Potter. The lines and plot were flat with no interesting characters, except for Redmayne's cute and lovable Newt. Apart from him I can't remember the names of any characters and I watched the movie an hour ago! I didn't feel upset when our characters were in danger because there were no stakes! Seriously I think this could have been great if only it didn't rely so heavily on basic CG and a few references to Harry Potter. Boring and uninspired, a waste of time. Go watch Harry Potter again.",3
"""Stranger Things"" is a remarkable fusion of nostalgia and gripping storytelling, serving as a profound homage to the '80s while delivering an enthralling narrative that transcends time. As a viewer, the series wasn't just a binge-worthy experience; it was a captivating journey down memory lane, seamlessly integrating iconic '80s music to intensify its emotional depth and nostalgic allure.

The show opens with the mysterious disappearance of a young boy, setting the stage for an extraordinary adventure tinged with supernatural elements. From the outset, the creators masterfully weave a tapestry of nostalgia, immediately enveloping audiences in the era of arcade games, walkie-talkies, and mixtapes.

The infusion of '80s music within ""Stranger Things"" is nothing short of brilliant. Every song, carefully chosen and placed, acts as a sonic time capsule, transporting viewers to an era defined by its legendary musicality. The synthesizer-driven beats, combined with iconic tracks like The Clash's ""Should I Stay or Should I Go,"" effortlessly enhance the show's emotional impact and sense of familiarity.

What's remarkable is how the show utilizes these musical cues to amplify the storytelling. Whether it's the heart-pounding moments of peril or the heartwarming scenes of camaraderie, each song becomes an integral part of the narrative, evoking powerful emotions and accentuating the characters' experiences.

The opening sequence, accompanied by the haunting melody of the show's theme, instantly sets the tone for the enigmatic and eerie adventures that lie ahead. The ethereal synth-driven score composed by Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein further solidifies the '80s ambiance, enveloping viewers in an atmospheric soundscape that amplifies the show's suspense and mystery.",9
"I guess this movie got some kind of awards at the Golden Globe for best movie? My friend heard it was a great movie and after watching only half the movie, we couldn't watch it anymore. You talk about a boring, dull and poorly done movie. Maybe I was a little negative about this movie being that I thought The Virgin Suicides was not that hot either but better than Lost in Translation. I didn't like Sofia's acting in The Godfather III neither. She is a cu-tie, but after watching two of her supposedly best produced movies, I will avoid watching any more in the future. I don't know how anybody could unbiasedly say this was a good movie? It appears to have an average rating of 8 out of 10 which baffles me. Any chance The Cappolas did all of the voting in favor of this movie? laugh. Francis is one of my favorite Producers of all time and I am sure wants her daughter to do well. Was there ever a plot in this movie?",1
"I just sat through all 131 minutes of that garbage and I can't tell you why.

To put it bluntly, the plot was unfocused. -There were too many action scenes with little point. -Said scenes didn't flow together. -All characters started and ended the movie with the same disposition: this movie lacked any development. -Need I even mention the obnoxious (and pointless) shaky cam? -The technical errors are stunningly obvious and cringe-worthy. -Even when the ending seemed like it could bring cohesion to it all, it, well, ended.

...and all of those parts add up to bland movie that goes nowhere. I still have no idea whether or not this movie praises the war or detests it, and the characters lack the intelligence and likability desirable for an easy answer. This movie has high production values, and I respect that, but production values don't make a good movie.

Honestly, I am devastated that this won any Oscars at all, especially when compared to the other much more tolerable films that were nominated. Avatar, despite not being my favorite movie of the year, was infinitesimally better than this.",5
"Christopher Nolan clearly puts a lot of work in this film and because I'm sure people also love it but all the effort is wasted on this silly story. All the reason of lots and guns and explosions, seems to me.",5
"It feels like its been some time since a film release has gripped the world quite like the way in which Barbie has over recent weeks/months, with the Greta Gerwig directed box office sensation creating a global phenomenon that has translated to record breaking openings in cinemas, critical plaudits and audience adoration on a scale that is mostly just a dream for Hollywood bigwigs.

A talent-laden affair in front of the camera with Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling leading the charge as plastic icons Barbie and Ken respectively and also behind the camera with Gerwig teaming up with her real life partner Noah Baumbach to bring Matel's beloved creation to life, Barbie is far better than it has any right to be as we explore Barbie Land and the real world with our protagonists, in what amounts to a pink fever dream that recalls old school Tim Burton at its peak, Barbie is also a little too heavy handed in the way in which it hammers home its messaging, making the film one that doesn't always correctly balance its oddball charm with preachy messaging.

A film that in many ways had become too big too fail with anticipation around the one half of Barbenheimer (with the weighty Oppenheimer no doubt benefiting hugely from the cross promotion) reaching fever pitch levels all over the globe, the adoration aimed at Gerwig's film right now feels like the type of over the top praise that will be reevaluated in coming months/years too something more grounded, with Gerwig and her team deserving of praise for creating such a colourful world and giving us something that doesn't just feel like a two hour long toy commercial but also going over the top in its empowerment messaging that feels like a message swung too far into the direction of all men are patriarchal menaces who aren't deserving of the women in their lives.

At its best when it allows its stars a chance to play within the confines of a likeable fish out of water tale where Barbie and Ken roam the boardwalks of Venice Beach adorned in skin tight Lycra or where Gosling's MVP performance as Ken see's the horse obsessed and Matchbox 20 loving beach bound man child bring too life a range of hilarious situations and sentiments, Barbie gets bogged down when it turns its attention to preaching too the converted and fails to make the most of its ""human"" characters like America Ferrera's Gloria or Will Ferrell's unnecessary tickle loving Mattel CEO, forgoing its comedic charms to try and be something it might naturally have become anyway had it dialled back the politics and just decided to be the fun escapist entertainment it often utilises.

When fun and adventure is at the forefront of Barbie's agenda, Gerwig's film is an undeniable delight and you'd be hard pressed to recall a more colorful and playful film when Barbie is in full flight but with all the hyperbole coming thick and fast right at this moment in time, it's hard not too consider Barbie's public sentiments being blown up out of proportion as the films misses are overlooked in favour of viewers preferring to watch this cultural touchstone with a pair of (pink) rose-tinted glasses.

Final Say -

There's fun to be had from Barbie and the commitment of its two leads is a sight to behold, as is the world which Gerwig brings to life but when Barbie forgoes the fun and playfulness it thrives in in favour of repetitive messaging, the film becomes more of a slog than an enjoyment.

"Don't waste your money in this so called ""One Shot Epic Battle"" movie. Overrated AF. Cinematography is ok, not ""LEGENDARY"". Plot is bad & music is also typical ""EPIC"" or nothing new. If you are really a fan of battles etc, please go & watch GoT battles (Far better than this garbage). Original rating is 4/10 but 1/10 is because of Overrated & all the hype around this movie. Congratulations 1917 for taking the number 1 spot from Marriage Story .",1
Not bad. not good. generally well. good acting. but it was long and pretty boring with an okay story. some really intense moments but lots of slowness in between (1 viewing),5
"First, it straightly goes on beside Frank Sheeran's life (Irishman) so it's a cronology of 3.30 hs. It's absolutely boring and there's no suspense or tension, just things happening and happening. Not entertaining at all, the only positive points to see, the performances and some interesting dialogues.

Finally, The families or wives of the gangsters only appears on screen around 15 minutes. The gangsters seem to be asexual, because they don't exchange dialogue with their women, they seem not to be there Overrated!",4
"Don't get me wrong, I do love this movie. But the thing is i didn't really get the 'sad' hype that people gets from this, nonetheless, I really enjoyed how the movie talks about a lot of social issues especially the women oppression. I recommend this movie if you are really into entertainment and if you just wanna learn and talk about femininity. Really a hands down for Margot Robbie on this one. She did great on portraying Barbie and she looks just so freaking beautiful! Same goes to other Barbies in this movie- they are just so breathtaking.

+ I'm not a big fan of the editing (they probably did the kiddie editing on purpose, but I'm just not a fan of that 🤷)",9
"I would like to give 10 out of 10 to this movie, because this movie make every time the same impact, oh really when such kind of situation come arises to your life or nearby, you can't ignore, while watching the painting of child makes your cry and miserable that innocent child has not done any mistake, so what to do, accept it or what???? there is no other option when there is happiness is near you and you can't accept that, OK how much time to wait, till the end or like the movie. so joy is related to our thinking, some mistakes even create happiness for us, but we always bound to get the best and closed our heart.

its superb end, when at the end make every body happy and made cry.",10
"I felt disappoint about this movie , whatever as a comic fans or movie fans.

Logan story is illustrated by ""Old Man Logan"" story, but it has not any plot related to the original story, and it even came worse than the original one.

Too much action, too narrow to talk about what happen in the past, and lack of the comic element in the wolverine movie (not surprise~).

As the final wolverine movie, it would be sad that we still cannot see the comic version wolverine appear in any single movie. And also, too long for this movie length and lack of plot is why I rate it lower than the other viewers in this movie.",6
"Storyline boring, there is nothing much to say about it actually...great cinematography,but that's about all good I can say...sorry not sorry,there are much better movies out there.",4
"This was my most anticipated show of all time as I absolutely loved the books and games. Here are my quick two cents:

While not completely faithful to the books, the show is still very entertaining. Episode one surpassed all my expectations with the fantastic, casting, choreography, cinematography, music, etc. A perfect introduction for the Butcher of Blaviken.

Every episode is uniquely stunning with the music and sound design to match.

However, as the show goes on, Cavil is ultimately held back by the underdeveloped and sometimes nonsensical narrative. Fans of the books may be particularly disappointed with the poorly adaptated 'The Bounds of Reason' episode. Although, the dynamic between Geralt and Yen is excellent in this one.

The monster design is fairly lackluster.

Lastly, the lack of continuity regarding characters and monsters abilities/strength can be frustrating to watch.

Hopefully, future seasons will address these issues and focus more on character development and better dialogue because this show has incredible potential.

Overall, I think the show is superb and I recommend watching if you like the fantasy genre or enjoyed the books/games.",8
"Whenever it movies, I openly acknowledge that I am a writer. ""Argo,"" on the other hand, is an uncommon film in that I can't think of a single negative thing to say about all this! That's correct it's good! The movie portrays a collaborative operation by the Canadian government and the CIA to rescue a group of six Americans who were stranded in Iran during the 1979-80 revolution. The majority of the Americans in the US embassy appear to have been kidnapped by extremist groups, but a small amount of individuals escaped and taken shelter inside the Canadian embassy. What happened afterwards when? Watch this film.",7
"Slow film, first time I have ever walked out of the cinema. Very boring, lack of action, disappointing as very good cast.

Margot Robbie's character was about the only interesting part of the film, she played an erratic character which she always manages to nail.

I didn't care for the story at all, just felt like flashbacks and conversations constantly and no action. Sad that I wasted money seeing the first half so I recommend not doing the same.

Felt like the film had a lot of potential with an excellent cast but the dialogue scenes went on for too long and the flashbacks did not offer much to the story.",1
"Poor making, poor plot, poor execution Poor making, poor plot, poor execution Poor making, poor plot, poor execution Poor making, poor plot, poor execution Poor making, poor plot, poor execution",1
"If the timeline wasn't done in such an incredibly confusing way I'd have given this an 8 or a 9. I do very much like it. Cavill is fantastic as the Witcher. There is a whole lot of good. But the timeline is so confusing it makes the show a pain to watch at times.

I never read the books, but I did play The Witcher 3 video game which seems to cover much of the same story. Best RPG video game ever btw, mostly because of the great story. So I was a bit familiar with this universe going in.

I started getting confused in episode 2 when a main character mentions in pasing 30 years having gone by in what seemed like maybe a couple of months from the presentation. Then you start figuring out that some things they keep showing together took place many years apart. Then one of the characters has alternating scenes which are clearly far apart in time. BUT THERE IS NEVER ANY CLEAR INDICATION OF THIS AND IT IS INCREDIBLY DISTRACTING! Instead of being able to pay attention to what is going on I found myself constantly trying to figure out WHEN IS THIS SCENE? That IS NOT FUN.

I do like the show, recommend others give it a watch and I hope they continue making future seasons. But, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD - KNOCK OFF THIS STUPID TIMELINE CRAP!",8
"I have to marvel at the computer graphics that Steven Spielberg used in creating Ready Player One. Sad to say I am not of the gaming generation, the fascination of playing these games hours on end is totally lost to me. My ignorance of these matters makes it hard to follow the plot in something like this. For instance the Matrix series. I've watched those films and I haven't reviewed them because I'm not sure of what I watched. This was a bit better.

In 2045 the world is really a rotten place and folks like young Tye Sheridan have retreated into their own cyber world called The Oasis. It's where with avatars they can play their own games and win and lose in a much more interesting place than the Columbus, Ohio of the near future.

Sheridan is now playing in the most important game of his life. At stake is the ownership/patent of the Oasis created by eccentric Bill Gates type billionaire Mark Rylance. It's like Willy Wonka willing his Chocolate Factory to a lucky kid. But this is much bigger stakes.

This film is more than half in animation when Sheridan meets some of his cyber friends once again as they all compete looking for prizes in the cyber world called Easter Eggs. Get three and he's a winner.

Sheridan does meet his friends again in the cyber world and in the real one. He also has to fight in both.

What the attraction is I don't know. But I'm happy that at the end, the world gets a shot of needed reality.",6

"I got to see venom: let there be carnage in theaters

Would I say this movie is fantastic...? No

Was it an improvement...? Absolutely

Carnage is an amazing villain and delivers a couple of scares

And venom/Eddie's relationship is improved upon

But the movie is nothing special and would also put this in the ""popcorn movie"" category.",7
"I'll just start by saying the only reason I'm spending ANY time reviewing this movie is to help avoid poor innocent souls of making the same mistake I did... watching this movie. Or half if it, anyway. It's the first movie I fast forwarded.

Honestly, this movie's plot barely moves. Nothing interesting happens, and nothing that's supposed to be funny actually is. The acting completely sucks. COMPLETELY. All they're missing in here is Miley Cyrus and they could call it a party. It probably doesn't help that I'm not fond of neither Kristen Bell NOR Mila Kunis.

I just think this is a movie with cheap humour and a shitty writing. I'm glad some people enjoyed it, I did not.",1
"American Fiction makes itself feel more like a novel rather than a movie, with its presumptuous, arrogant, but no less assertive plot. Its soundtrack full of very pleasant moody jazz also helps make the frames feel like pages. Or maybe everything is simpler and this is only because the protagonist is a writer and the story flies around his work and his criticism of certain social movements.

The film is a sharp response to what is considered politically correct these days, just for the sake of it. It's the counterproposal to the empty collective thought that is given in search of acceptance. It's a clear message of disdain for those who advocate for another's cause with an absurd self-righteousness full of pseudo altruism and false empathy. It's without a doubt an intelligent, self-aware, sly, acidic and condescending film. What is perhaps worrying at some point is that the film becomes part of the very thing it points to. Its very criticism makes it what it's criticizing. Although perhaps that is already material for a good debate, apart from any film criticism.

The technical aspects are left out at a decent level, as this film relies on its script more than anything else. Slow pace, but consistent, with a disruptive and interesting third act. One of the good movies of 2023.",8
"I got to admit, the pacing took me by surprise, or should I say it put me off at regular intervals. At the initial stage (The first 2-3 episodes); things were rather engaging, quite eventful as well, but then comes this whole bunch of characters, with their respective struggles and backstories; and somehow the entire execution got choppy, the road became uneven and bumpy. Barring a few sparks of brilliance, the rest of it felt stationary, confused and kind of messy in a way.

I'm not undermining its technological agility nor do I intend to disregard any of its qualities; all I'm saying is that it wasn't what I had hoped it would be. For a series this long (Almost 10 hours); Not only did I have certain kinds of expectations, but I also prayed for the outcome to be worthy of my time (at the very least), which, as you might have guessed wasn't the case anyway!

The scenario could have been vastly different if only the makers had given an equal amount of importance to the writing just as they did to its presentation and overall appearance. It's got a great technical display, it has got an assemblage of talented performers, in all sincerity, it had everything a self-assertive filmmaker would love to have at their disposal.

So where did it exactly go wrong? Here, I would like to lay blame on the Writers, especially the ones behind the Screenplay. It doesn't matter whether it is the perfect adaptation of the original novella nor do I care for that matter. All I cared for is to get some thrills, some dynamism; seems like my appetites were unattended.",6
"So here's a thing, if first season was books' adaptation even if poorly made, second season has only one episode somehow related to the books and all the rest ""original showrunner's vision"", with the story taking completely different route than the books. That ""original vision"" has poor story, badly written or underdevelopped characters, plot and logic holes and is overall a general mess.

If you like the book and/or the games (i.e. The cannon) don't watch this show, because it will just annoy you the only character Netflix didn't ruin is the The Roach (Geralt's horse).",4
"It wasn't a bad movie, but I didn't enjoy it either. The film was kind of an average romance. I felt it was a nice story at first, but I got bored of it. After reading the book, the scenes in the movie were exactly how I imagined them, however, it didn't live up to my expectations. With all the hype, I expected it to be great. However, I couldn't really connect to the characters. I don't understand why people were crying at the end. I didn't. I felt little connection to the characters. Everything was all too deep, and the metaphors sounded ridiculous, like it was written by an emo kid who bleeds on paninis. Reasonable story, average camera work, average effects, good actors. Overall, it was overrated.",5
"I know 2013 was quite ... a skinny year when it comes to movies, but it's still an absurdity that Argo has not only been nominated for Best Film, but won it. This Oscar is utterly disappointing. It's not as if I have faith in the academy that can collapse, or in the audience that happily gobbles down any garbage sprayed with glitter powder, or in the servile critics who are ready at any time to praise similar works for the right money or publicity. It is a kind of general, objectless disappointment, and as such, the deepest of all. As countless inglorious examples prove, America loves to lick its own ""body parts"" and likes to bend reality to the narrative they want to belive, but this one is really a little disgusting. I wouldn't go into the inaccuracies of the story, several other reviewers have already done it for me. Even with these, the film could have been tolerable if it weren't so horribly cliché, predictable and cheap. What Ben Affleck allows himself here as a storyteller is something that not only should not be rewarded, but should be the subject of a laughter. This perfectly proves that how out of touch Hollywood is. And this is the most benevolent reading of this whole disgrace. I thought we had grown out of an era of such disgustingly pathetic and kitschy propaganda films, but there still seems to be a market for that sort of thing. Feel free to applaud yourself, you deserve it! And mr. Affleck, I know a worthy place for that small golden figurine. Your batcave. It might be a tight fit, but since you worked for it so much, I guess you can work a little more, right!",3
Boring to the core! Very difficult to sit through. Not worth your time.,3
"Sam Mendes' second attempt at a war film shows us that there is still innovation to be had in this genre. The amount of planning and thought that went into this film is absolutely astounding. The long shot sequences without an (obvious) cut as great and the performances are fantastic by all involved.

It is a very solid film with realistic writing, exciting and realistic events, and a pressing issue that we are constantly reminded of.

My main issue with the film stems from the lack of characterization. There seem to be a lot of throwaway lines concerning the relationship between the main characters that I really wish we had seen more of. I realize that this film depicts these soldiers as just ""one of many"", but the mere fact that there are SO MANY of these intimate moments between the main characters makes the film seem flip-floppy on this decision.

Besides this, it is wonderfully solid on all fronts, although the ending didn't really wow me the same way the rest of the movie did. All in all, a very solid film that did a lot right, but was a little emotionally muted for my taste.",7
"There have been a few attempts recently to make a Super Hero anti hero series and most have failed through bad scripting, lame acting, and just poorly though out plot lines.

This series The Boys knocks it up another notch. First season so far has a good balance and great storyline, interwoven plots and well thought out characters.

Casting is also very superb. It has great re-watchable value and the human frailties and quirks shown in acting make the performances so believable.

This series has a future as long as they don't cancel it too soon or run out of original ideas.",9
"This movie requires viewers to suspend all notions of reality/how people might realistically act/react when faced with extremely difficult and threatening circumstances. The crowning and final example comes at the end. Who would just sit there in their chairs in that situation? No one.

An additional example (although not the only one) includes answering the mystery of how a thin, petite woman manages to haul a full, 50 gallon drum from a far off cottage on a hill to the dining room. This includes getting it up stairs.

Instead of offering fresh perspectives on women characters' interactions, motivations, etc. The movie trots out worn and, one would hope, obsolete clichés such as the illogical woman on woman ""cat fight"" over a man.

Demand better from writers. Not worth you time. Not worth your money.",2
"Even with Sandler and Ainston. I downloaded it, watched it and deleted it from my computer it was that bad. No idea how this thing got a 6 rating. All the jokes were cliche or just plain bad.",2
"There was absolutely nothing special about this movie. Cliché story and characters, underwhelming acting, poor writing, and an overall disappointment. The only good part of this movie was the color scheme.",3
"More proof you can't make a great comedy by ad libbing on the set. You really have to write it all out to find where the humor comes from. It started like it was going to go in a funny and heartwarming direction. But then the jokes got petty and juvenile.

Vacation from 2015 with Ed Helms is a million times funnier and you can tell it's because they mapped out the humor in the script before they started shooting. But in this it's obvious they just started rolling cameras with ""comedians"" or ""funny actors"" on the set to see where it went. And unfortunately it went to typical, low-efffort places. Hubie Halloween was somewhat charming. But this gets a bad grade.",2
The only negatieve thing about this show is that it is to short,9
"He's lean! He's mean! He's a kick-ass crime fighter and the baddest dude this side of Pickadilly Circus! He's Holmes, Sherlock Holmes!

Huh?

When it was announced that macho director Guy Ritchie was going to make a Sherlock Holmes movie, with the intention of turning the renown sleuth into a rough and tumble action hero, there were more than a few eyebrows raised. With the announcement that the part would be taken over by the very American, very sardonic Robert Downey Jr. further puzzlement followed. The mystery being ""Why?""

Holmes is a legendary character, and his iconic image is firmly implanted in our pop culture. The continuing respect for the character is rooted in that image, not in the actual quality of the mysteries that were devised for Holmes to solve by his creator Arthur Conan Doyle. The prevailing image of Holmes as being tall, slender, somewhat solemn and the epitome of Edwardian gentlemanliness is hard to shake, whether the actor in the part plays it stoically (Basil Rathbone), neurotically (Nicol Williamson) or comedic (George C. Scott). The decision to give us a Sherlock who is violent, belligerent and of questionable hygiene is the biggest mystery in SHERLOCK HOLMES – if Ritchie didn't like the traditional Holmes, then why did he bother to make a film centered on him?

In fairness, Doyle's Holmes was not above resorting to physical violence and using a firearm now and again. But those were on rare occasions, the traditional Holmes had intellect as his primary weapon and that sufficed quite nicely. Ritchie's detective comes off as a pistol-packing hooligan who frequents Fight Club matches, whose residence at 227B Baker Street could best be described as squalid and whose personal appearance could generously be called perpetually scruffy. While the traditional Holmes was of the upper class, but who could move around among the lower classes, it is unlikely that this Holmes would be comfortable or be accepted among the titled. In essence, the filmmakers have taken the less savory aspects of the Holmes adventures and moved them to the forefront, for reasons that just aren't clear. Maybe the filmmakers thought a character with genteel qualities would just be too uncommercial for modern audiences. That is rather sad. There just was no call to re-imagine Sherlock Holmes as being down and dirty.

That is not to say that Downey gives a bad performance as Holmes, only that he comes off as being Holmes in name only. He gives us a passable British accent and plays the part with a degree of shifting moods. Indeed, had he not been playing Sherlock Holmes, and had instead been cast as an original character, say, an Irwin Smithers or a Nigel Butterworth, then maybe his work wouldn't seem so vaguely disappointing. A bit more of his impish sense of humor – which added so much to IRON MAN -- would have been a welcomed addition and helped ease in the character as a tongue in cheek homage.

But to pretend for a moment this isn't a Sherlock saga, how is the film? Well, Holmes' attempts to sabotage the impending marriage between Jude Law's Dr. Watson and his future bride, Mary, gives the film an unexpected homo-erotic subtext that is amusing and rather sweet. Beyond that, with it's impressive sets and CGI effects, elegantly overplayed supervillain, colorful assassins, overly choreographed out-of-nowhere fight sequences and a long-winded and convoluted narrative about a super secret organization and a megalomaniac's plot to take over the world all makes the film seem less a Sherlock Holmes adventure and more like an Edwardian version of a James Bond movie. In the end, it would seem that Ritchie tried to tackle one British literary icon and inadvertently made a film about another one -- though still as a grungy and unpleasant recreation.

The box office success of SHERLOCK HOLMES could inspire other nefarious re-imaginings; like Jackie Chan as martial arts master Charlie Chan. Or maybe Jean-Claude Van Damme as an intense adventurer named Hercule Poirot. I can see it now: ""She's hot! She's sexy!! She's the Hell-raising Mistress of Crime!!! Angelina Jolie IS Miss Jane Marple!!!!""

Well, maybe not.",6
"This is a good film. Visually excellent and gives you a real feel of what it would have been like on the front line WW1. There is a feeling of haven't we been here before referring to Saving Private Ryan and a little Gallipoli at the end. There is terrific tension and drama. However the leads are miscast. They came across as a couple of Eton boys. Perhaps that was the intent, that war heros are not necessarily all tough alpha males, but it detracts from the film. Don't mean Jason Statham or the Rock, but more presence needed.",7
"So much unnecessary shooting and explosions. I was bored the whole second half of the movie. That time could haave been better spent on building up the characters. The plot is without twists. Everything was predictable from the point when the family arrived at the island. The parallel with the first movie when Jake learns about the forrest ways, is very clear, but the annoying thing is that the newly born military clones never had to learn anything. Ever time I hoped the shooting was done, it was just a coffee break. Talking about breaks, I'm wondering where did all the water aliens disappear from the battle. Effectively only Jake's family + 1 were involved. The first part of the movie does deserve an 8, but the rest is just zero.",4
"To describe why this is boring is like reading Monthy Python describe why accountancy is not boring. Nothing happened, and what did not happen did not happen in an amusing or thought-provoking way.",2
"Incredible series... wonderfully scripted. Casting is spot on.. plenty of twists and very addicted series.

TAKE A BOW PRODUCTION AND CAST!",9
"Did I see the same movie that many other people gave a ten vote?? Probably not...... The movie doesn't give any logic explanation to anything. Everything in the movie is treated in the most superficial possible way. To not get completely disappointed all through the movie you would need to switch off your brain completely otherwise you won't get any answers to the questions that necessarily come to your mind. Also great actors like Matthew McConaughey are acting awfully, probably realizing they are acting in a dumb movie. All the Director is trying to do is excite the audience with the soundtrack and special effects, probably realizing himself how poor the plot is. How could so many good actors accept to work in such a poor movie? And how come so many critics are writing that this is a great movie? I would really like to know what great directors like Scorsese, Di Palma, Herzog, Spielberg would think about this movie. In two words: absolutely disappointing.",1
Dialogue terrible....but typical Hollywood action/ second rate comedy something. The only ten seconds I liked was the guy crying crocodile tears at the funeral.,1
"2 points for: The Aerial shots in 4K are nice, I also like the brutal car crashes and casualties in the beginning of the movie. But: lots of annoying shaky shots as well. Film takes too long. Story is just boring. Sound on the dialog is a bit dull sometimes.",2
"This movie is the reason Hollywood gets a bad name. All the plaudits need to go to the stunt crews. Everyone else should take no positives for their movies. Ryan Reynolds playing the same trying to hard be smart, funny and sarcastic role. Major fail. This movie can be watched at double speed and still annoy you.",2
This movie story to much lame and also this movie actor without hero they dont perfect for this movie.,1
"Death Note is probably one of the few stories which resonates around the globe thanks to its dark theme and realistic approach to handle human morality.

It is perhaps unique and creative together. That's why it has such a fan following around the world.

The premise is breathtaking. For a person who didn't have any prior understanding of the Manga series, I liked the overall theme. I also liked the way the characters have been written.

The idea of having two strong characters eying for each other's throats is definitely great entertainment. But not only that add some serious writing on to it and one can create legendary show.

Having said that the show has some problems also. One can see those problems more prominently in the second half. The plot seems to go haywire and it shifts its themes. The consistent character design also gets impacted. And in overall the show loses its sheen.

But still the show is definitely a great watch.",7
"Not like we haven't seen these characters before. I'm kind of over natashas scratchy rambling: playing the same character over and over, we get it. Is that supposed to be captivating? I am not sure if it's worth getting into. I'd be lying if I said ""Gotta get up"" isn't addicting",5
"Very cheesy big budget explosion film for simpler folk to enjoy.

If you want to be mildly entertained and not have to use a single brain cell you will enjoy this.

Not my kind of film but it serves a purpose.",4
"I didn't get it. I was expecting this emotional tour-de-force type of war drama, focusing in on the bomb diffuser guys. Instead, we have this cold, kind of detached, blazé kind of narrative that doesn't get deep enough or emotional enough to really involve the viewer. It certainly left no real impression on me, I practically had forgotten about it 5 minutes after I'd seen it. Really, it doesn't do enough. They employed this shaky ""24"" style hand-held camera movement, rather haphazard and meaningless in so many parts, unnecessary, even, because the emotional impact of a certain scene is killed due to the invasive feeling of this shaky camera in the character's faces, because it feels like a documentary a lot of the times, and it shouldn't. It's really not worth wasting your time on this film. I can't believe it won Best Film.",5
"Wanted to enjoy this one. I like Matt and Ann... but...

The sound was so muffled and badly recorded, I gave up after an hour. I just couldn't; tell a word they were mumbling.

"Film a medium of social change. The characters played in this film are picked up from real and made real life acting and film.

"It's taken me many months to be able to absorb this film to the point where I can write about it in some way. Being honest, there is too much exposition at the beginning of the film, the plot development is a bit shaky and sometimes the suspension of disbelief is hanging by a thread. However, what this film gets right, it gets right to such a high degree, and so much better than any other film-maker has been capable of, that it has to go into the ""above and beyond"" category, a masterpiece. What this film is about is men and women, this movie encapsulates the state of the modern western world. It grapples with the weightiest of issues with deft skill, and incredible fearlessness. It shows men in the modern world as they are (on the whole), and it shows women in the modern world as they are (on the whole), and it shows why and how, and the consequences of, men holding on to the old order - it shows how men infantilize themselves, constantly looking for validation, becoming macho characatures, aping some old forgotten code which has died, in the hope to attract women who have moved on and are looking for something different. It hints at the violence and culture of fear that lurks behind the surface of narcissistic charm. In many ways, because of its consumerist anchoring, this story becomes the story of the modern world and it's development and evolution to the point where we are now, the plot is irrelevant, but the story is something eternal, marking this moment in time.",10

"Whenever the subject of film sequels comes up, someone will inevitably say that they are never as good as their originals. And, equally inevitably, someone else will respond with ""But there are always exceptions. What about The Godfather Part II?""

""The Godfather Part II"" is essentially two films, both a prequel and a sequel to ""The Godfather"". 'The two stories are intercut with one another. The prequel, set during the 1900s, 1910s and 1920s, tells the story of the rise to power of Vito Corleone, the character played by Marlon Brando in the original. He was born in Sicily but was forced to flee to America as a child after the rest of his family were murdered by Don Ciccio, a local Mafia boss. As he grows up, the young Vito becomes involved in criminal activities, but becomes a well-respected figure among the Italian-American community of New York because of his ability to do favours for his neighbours. Eventually he feels powerful enough to return to Sicily to take revenge on Don Ciccio.

The sequel part of the film, set during the late fifties and early sixties, follows the career of Michael Corleone, now the head of the Corleone crime family. The family's main source of income appears to derive from their control of the gambling industry in Las Vegas and pre-revolutionary Cuba. Michael is at pains to appear to the outside world as a legitimate businessman, but he faces threats from rival gangsters, who unsuccessfully attempt to kill him, and from a Senate committee on organised crime. Michael's home life also suffers, as his marriage to Kay breaks down because she can no longer cope with being the wife of a crime boss. Michael also discovers that his older brother Fredo, who resents being forced to play a minor role in his younger brother's empire, is secretly in league with his enemies.

Besides the prequel and the sequel, there is also a short flashback near the end to Don Vito's 50th birthday party on December 7, 1941. James Caan returned to reprise his role as Sonny Corleone; apparently Marlon Brando should also have returned, but failed to turn up, and the filmmakers decided to proceed without him.

So what about ""The Godfather Part II?"" Is it better than its predecessor? Well, both films contain some very powerful material, and both contain some excellent acting performances. Al Pacino as Michael is as good here as he was in Part I, which means that he is very good indeed, and there is a tour de force from Robert De Niro as the younger Vito. Much of his character's dialogue is in Italian- and not standard Italian, but the Sicilian dialect, which De Niro specially learned for the film. His ""Best Supporting Actor"" Academy Award was well deserved. For me, the other acting performance which stood out came from Robert Duvall as Michael's trusted friend and lieutenant Tom Hagen, who is much more a brother to him than the faithless Fredo.

I would, however, have two criticisms of the film. The first is on account of a fault which it shares with Part I. It tends to take the characters' world view too much at face value. Like his father, Michael may be a dictator, but he is in his own eyes a benevolent dictator, a man of honour who lives by his own moral code. As Roger Ebert said of Part I, this is a film which views a closed society from the inside. This is not to say that it is a film which actively condones gangsterism, but it never really actively condemns it either, and we do not get to see the damage that organised crime does to the fabric of society. The Mafia's own view of itself is never openly challenged. There are sixteen killings in the film, but nearly all of them are of gangsters by other gangsters.

Other crime epics made since 1974 have tended to avoid this problem. Scorsese's ""Goodfellas"" is an essential corrective to Hollywood's tendency to glamourise or mythologise gangsterdom. HIs characters are not ""men of respect"", still less men of honour, but amoral thugs who will happily take another human life on little more than a whim. Sam Mendes's ""Road to Perdition"" likewise emphasises the futility and sterility of the criminal lifestyle. It may be a significant reference to ""The Godfather"" that the central character of that film also has the Christian name Michael, but whereas Michael Corleone allows himself to be drawn into his father's empire of crime, Tom Hanks's Michael Sullivan comes to realise that there is another way. Even the main villain of the film, Rooney, retains enough moral awareness to realise that his false system of values has blighted his life and the lives of others.

My other criticism would be that the film is overlong, more so than Part I, and that it does not flow easily. I would blame this on Francis Ford Coppola's decision to combine the sequel and the prequel into a single film; there is enough material here for two standard-length films, and I felt that it would have been better if the story of Vito's early life had been released as Part II in 1974, with Michael's story following as Part III a year or two later. (Or perhaps vice versa).

Like Part I, Part II won the ""Best Picture"" Oscar. Unlike Part I, it brought Coppola ""Best Director"". (He had lost in 1972 to Bob Fosse for ""Cabaret""). Unfortunately, I would disagree with the Academy here, as I would have given ""Best Picture"" to ""Chinatown"" with Polanski as ""Best Director"". Yes, ""The Godfather Part II"" is a very good film, probably an excellent one, but it falls just short of greatness. 8/10.",8
"Great sets and costuming. However, I found the acting straight out of acting school. Becomes a ""young adult "" movie very quickly.",3
"I love the Harry Potter universe, books, movies, etc. But this movie was utterly gratuitous, pointless, and boring. It has no redeeming value of it's own, relying solely on being a ""Harry Potter"" movie, and having good special effects. 45 minutes into the movie, I was only barely starting to see what the point of the movie might be, and still couldn't have cared less about any of the characters. This is an absolutely by the numbers movie, with no heart or soul to it, and is a disgrace to the Potter universe, in my opinion. If you're a kid, you'll probably like it, but an adult, not so much.",4
"The stage curtains open ...

Well, don't know what to say. I realize it has received all these major accolades and awards. I can see by the overall rating here in IMDb and on other websites that is has won over the majority of its viewers too. I guess I'm in the minority here as I can't really see why this film needed to be made in the first place.

Seven months after the brutal rape and murder of her daughter, Mildred Hayes (Frances McDormand) decides to stir the pot after no headway is made in the case with the local authorities. So, she rents three billboards outside of her little Missouri town and posts three very disturbing statements which brings up the ire of the entire town - including that of her own son.

This is one of those movies that is about the moment - not the end goal. It is about the journey more than the destination. Her reason for renting these three billboards in the first place is to find her daughter's killer. But, that is not the reason for the movie. The reason for the movie is the three billboards themselves and the consequences she and others have to face by putting them up. Along the way, the original end goal, destination or reason (that of finding her daughter's killer) is lost and all you are given to comprehend is the here and now.

The acting was absolutely superb, I will give it that. But by the end of the movie, I was sitting there shaking my head. Was this the only reason this movie was made? To show Frances McDormand's acting chops? This was reminiscent of another movie starring Nicole Kidman titled, ""Strangerland"". There is no absolution or resolution in that film either. If this rides well with you, then I think you'd enjoy this film. If you are in it for solving the mystery behind the reason of the movie - you will be disappointed.

Not a recommend, unless you want to see some good acting. For me, it was Just Okay - worth a watch, but ultimately forgettable.",5
"The only reason why I'm giving it a 3.5-3.75 about is because of the season finales of each three seasons (especially season 2). Otherwise I would give it a half a star review for these reasons: there's no character development whatsoever, totally lame and weak writing, and even worse fighting scenes. There's hardly any fighting scenes and whenever there is it ends fast. Butcher is the worst character, nothing good about him. I only watched it for Hughie and Annie but in season 3 Hughie became one of the worst until the very end. Another reason is because Jensen Ackles was in season 3, but his character wasn't the greatest even as a bad guy. And if course everybody can agree Homelander is the worst too (but surprisingly not that bad of a bad guy, especially the second and third seasons).",3
"The bad guys are all white and/or Christian; the good guys and law enforcement are all either female, persons-of-color, or Muslim. I don't need to be morally lectured-to by my entertainment provider. Won't watch any more of this schlock.",4

"Characters: Inconsistent Plot: Patchy and full of holes Atmosphere: Pretty cool and fun Final episode: Open-ended

Also the show unintentionally fetishes evil actions and evil people a lot. It's quite subtle and I don't believe it's the writer's intentions. ""O I literally tried killing you but now I'm sexually drawn to you all of a sudden."" ""O you just tried to literally murder my lover but now that I've smacked you down on the ground and made you realize I got magic powers everything is dandy and you don't mind my lover anymore."" ""Live and let live"" says a simple cottage mother, as she puts four plates of animal flesh on the table. Lol. Lots of meat eating, which just goes to show how misguided the directors are on what our ancestors predominantly ate, plants.

Nonetheless, despite being all over the place, inconsistent, unrealistic, and quite like shows which make it all up as they go along, it was fun. It certainly doesn't deserve a 8-9/10 though.",3
"This was basically a revolutionary Korean romantic comedy that made the wave and inspired other Asian movies and dramas to come. And made the term yupki popular in Korea. Which is a term to describe a forceful, bizarre and wild girl. This movie was a huge hit in Korea and some parts of other countries as well. In fact when this movie came out I heard a lot of Koreans dig this movie and it was a amazing movie couples can enjoy. Well after I finished watching it, it's a pretty good romantic comedies that show how sometimes opposites attract. The plot revolves around a wussy average guy that ends up being responsible for a drunk girl on a subway and slowly build there relationship after. The thing is the girl he falls for is a very ballsy, tough and sassy girl that is more adventurous than the guy. This is the movie that greatly boosted Cha Tae-Hyun who I am not fond of at all as an actor, don't know but just never liked his presence on screen much. But he fit his role quite well in this one and Jun Ji-Hyun or Gianna Jun who became a very popular actress at that time thanks to this movie. This movie can become pretty ridiculous at times and throw you off because it goes from situations that are possible to fantasy like elements in certain areas. And I am not talking about the imagination sequences. But it doesn't really take away from this movie even if over 2 hours seems a bit too long for a movie like this. And could have been shortened down a bit without taking away from the total package. The first half of this movie is so and so but it picks up a bit more momentum on the second half. Overall this is a comic book style romantic comedy style movie that is enjoyable and a great couple movie.

8.2/10",8
Absolute garbage. Another example of Disney taking something good and turning it into a kids cartoon and absolute garbage like they always do when they get their hands on it.,1
"If they deleted every random object that blew up or caught on fire for no particular reason and then ran the slow-motion shots at regular speed, this movie would only have a 24 minutes run time. The only redeeming quality is Ryan Reynolds' humor. I wasn't aware this was a Michael Bay film before I hit play. It took almost 45 seconds for me to figure that part out when three random cars blew after slamming into each other like they had five lbs of c-4 in the trunk then proceed to flip over each other In the air defying several laws of physics. It was all down hill from there. However there was a great cameo from an Aviation Gin bottle during a scene set in Paris. That was fun.",3
Love it great twist to the story line need few more of these movies!!! Interesting the way this story line connected.,8
"Super depressing and slow stuff. Everyone cries, everyone depresses, its really cold weather and guaranteed to bring you down.",4
"Despite the negativity surrounding this show and ultimately the change in tone after the first season, I must say I was quite pleases with the last season. Season 1 dealt with very delicate issues and overall addressed these issues appropriately. Season 2 and 3 felt a bit forced in terms of extending past the original story line based from books but was watchable and did keep you curious without knowing the endgame. Season 4, which just came out, was something I was excited to watch but also hesitant due to how far season 3 had separated from the previous two, but after a slow start it really picks up and deals with some intense issues especially in American school culture (I am British) and the last episode really gives some closure on an overall great show.",8
"M sorry , an actor who is famous for not his acting standards but for playing cgi characters like , the ape , Gollum , Snoke Made a movie . He can make a good movie , but in this case , he didn't. Cause yeah as long as you're making money by throwing stupid jokes & cgi instead of an interesting plot Who cares man?!

& Now about the movie , I guess its a good movie if you prefer MGK over Eminem , if you play fortnight & knows every one of it's dances' . Its good movie for you if you like pineapple on Pizza , if you put ketchup over your fries instead of dipping it in ketchup. Same old 17 yr jokes! Thank you for PG 13 Rating , Oh mY GoD!!!!!! M planning to take my dead grandmom for venom 3.

Liked Woody , great actor , deserves a lot more screentime. Loved every second of Tom Hardy m hitting 4 just for these twos but

The movie is absolute dumpster fire.

Sony , Stop making mcu like movies .

You're downgrading as hell & People thought Garfield's Amazing Spiderman was bad!",4
"I wish I could un-see this movie. It was much darker than I have come to expect from MCU movies, especially with regards to animals. The film gives a traumatizing backstory for Rocket, which includes many, many scenes of terrified baby animals and horrific animal experimentation. I don't ever cry in movies, and I sobbed through this one... and not in a good way. The film also contains troubling shots of innocent people being hurt or killed (which is sometimes implied in other films, but not typically shown in such an awful, direct manner). None of the ""good parts"" are enough to redeem what I was forced to watch. I would definitely not recommend it for kids.",2
"Season one I found actually pretty good (only read a small part of the books) - season two showed me glimpses of good stuff but my God, what kind of monster have they created with season 3?

I'm hoping the producers and executives will finally come to their senses and stop pushing a series in a direction everyone knows people will hate. It's like they listed to the fans, take that point of feedback and go the exact opposite direction and then are amazed ratings and views are down.

Truly mind boggling how think so highly off themselves that they let the main actor walk away before listening to feedback.",5

"Seriously this movie will go way over the heads of people opposing it. It's real life. It's delivered so well! It's clever and sweet and funny and entertaining. I can watch it it over and over and pick up on things missed previously. Instant classic- every scene, set, delivery and outfit was executed brilliantly. I didn't expect to like this movie but I adore it. I made all of my Barbie's weird right out of the box. Amazing what a sharpie and an xacto knife can do! I'll keep watching this, my kids love it, my husband loves it, well done. Absolutely well done. In my next life I want to be a set designer for this movie.",10
"A good start, Hope it will get lot more exciting when zemo enters the show.",8
"Season 1 was perfection. Everything about it was amazing. From the incredibly hand drawn kinetic fights, which are some of the most exhilarating sequences you will ever see in anime, to the absolute hilarity and ridiculousness that ensues with Saitama and anyone that comes into his life. Saitama is a brilliantly conceptualized character. His humbling humility and care-free egoless attitude about everything is what makes him as such a hilarious and human character. Genos is another awesome character. Season 2 is also amazing but not as amazing as Season 1. For one, the incredible fighting animations that we got in Season 1 are nowhere to be found. Now they're more flashy, they end quicker and we don't get to see all the intricate details that were present in Season 1. It's understandable, a new animation studio means a different approach to animating. But I can't help but feel like Season 2's was pretty underwhelming. I mean it's a lot that the new studio had to live up to so I don't blame them. Another thing that really stood out to me was the change in art style. Mostly in the way Genos, Metal Knight and Blackluster look. It's not that big of a deal but it's definitely noticeable. Season 2 brings new characters into the fold that make the story more interesting. One of those is Garou, who funny enough looks a lot like Vegeta. Unlike heroes or villains, he doesn't really pick a side. He kind of does his own thing whether it be heroic or villainous, although based on his actions, he does tend to be more on the villainous side. And it's this complexity to his character that makes him interesting.

Clever and hilarious - this show is brilliant in how it executes everything, it's all masterfully polished. It has some of the best humor I've ever seen in any piece of media. It's almost like it doesn't even have to try to be funny because it pulls it off so seamlessly and naturally. One Punch Man is also surprisingly uplifting and inspirational. Equal parts exciting, dramatic, thrilling, hilarious, wholesome, humbling and satirical. The show also does a great job on commentating and poking fun at society and humanity. The audio and soundtrack does a fantastic job at elevating the scenes and making them feel more exciting. And even though you already expect Saitama to kill every villain that comes his way in one blow, there's always an excitement and anticipation in seeing the way he takes them out. This anime does such an amazing job at balancing the comedic hilarity and the intense fighting. It's a beautiful mix they've perfected. One Punch Man is a must-watch that should definitely be experienced.",9
"Two hours of garbage with such a simple meaningless plot.

Some are claiming it's the best film of the year & Adam deserves an Oscar. Whatever you guys are smoking give me some. The only Oscar we need to be discussing is the well deserved Oscar to the tissue needed in order to wipe this garbage from my brain. Full credit to Adam though who, as always acts exceptionally well. Other than that, the story is dreadful, the ending is preposterous and I wasted several hours because I read believed in the hype.",3
"Spielberg's The Fabelmans looks and sounds great. The vintage feel of the sets and costumes, lit just right here gives off a continuously warm glow that helped soften some of the shortcomings of the script. As for the performances Gabriel LaBelle was quite good. Michelle Williams gives an interesting performance but at times comes across as a little heavy-handed. The basic story is solid and one that I was engaged with but it did seem meandering at times. In addition to the young Spielberg there are also two sisters, the older of which has two very interesting moments showing that she has complex thoughts but otherwise disappears from the film completely along with her younger sister. The way their characters were addressed was unsatisfying. In the second half they move to CA where the young Steven is bullied for being Jewish. Later in the film this same bully undergoes some random and odd metamorphosis as a deep thinker and it really seems random and out of the blue. Scattered throughout the film there are some very nice and at times moving scenes (the way the young Steven realizes his mother's indiscretion), but by the film's conclusion the sum did not equal the parts and I was left wanting something more than I was given. Despite some major shortcomings there was enough here for me to have ultimately enjoyed The Fabelmans.",7
Didn't met expectations..Could have been so much better..lot of plotholes,6
If you know Bay then you shouldn't be expecting some deep John Le Carre character arc. What he has done is one upped himself in the effects and stunt department. Yes the editing is a bit nuts. But the technical achievements in this movie are quite breathtaking. Just because something has a huge budget doesn't mean people didn't work there ass off trying to create something exciting and new and it is at the end of the day very entertaining. The CGI combined with the real parkour footage is particularly impressive. The opening car chase alone must of taking months to prepare and shoot. My hat goes off to the stunt guys. Its worth watching for that alone not to mention the locations are really quite exquisite. And Reynolds is on form as always.,7
"Seeing as enough reviews have pointed out all the plot holes this series has, I'm not going to go over them in Detail. I will however say how disappointing they are for us viewers. The Show is very well made, the acting is solid and some scenes like the train scene or the bomb disarming scene were of incredibly high standards. They had me on the edge of my seat even though it was fairly obvious Budd wasn't going go be killed. They were absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately they appear to have sucked up all the creativity, leaving the Rest of the Show with more Plot Holes than a swiss Cheese. (Sorry) It's a great Drama and I still thoroughly enjoyed watching it but it's definitely not a master piece. It could have been, had they actually taken their time with the plot. Granted, it was a huge success and a lot of people obviously don't take the plot that seriously. If you're one of them, you'll have a great time watching this. If however, you are someone who values solid writing, this might be a bit too frustrating to watch. It might be worth watching some of the scenes I mentioned though, as they really were top notch.",7
"Short and sweet: one long video game not for the meek. I'm not a gamer and failed to enjoy this insaner. Shoot-ups galore and then some more and more and more.

With nothing more positive to say, perhaps yesteryear's Wick will be back another day.

I hang my head in shame. Please no more movies in this frame!",4
"They have absolutely butchered this show. The source material might as well not exist at all and they could have just called the show something else, because it is most definitely not the witcher. Even if you have never read the books or played the games, this show is still bad. It has nonsense character arcs and decision making. It's so disappointing that a show with such a huge budget was put into such incompetent hands.

Each season gets progressively worse. I fully expect season 4 to be GoT final season bad or even worse. Such a shame that they took what could have been an amazing show and absolutely ruined it like they have. They have turned the witchers themselves into pathetic useless morons who can't do anything right. Geralt is the only half-competent witcher. All of the others are just fancy set pieces and serve no real purpose other than cannon fodder. It's no wonder that Henry Cavill is leaving the show. I wouldn't want to be associated with this garbage either. I'm ashamed just to admit I've watched it.",5
"To be honest I came into this film with high expectations and I enjoyed the movie more than I should have. But this movie is nothing perfect it lacks a lot of creativity and this film had a cool and intresting plot but it was exucted poorly, like REALLY poorly and the plot gave this movie so much potential. One of my man issues with this film is the girl you know witch girl I'm talking about, I don't remeber her name because this movie is forgetful as the suicide squad but this super annoying character dosen't need to exist and the film would still make sense. She's just a pointless side character that I think is there for the jokes and stuff? But I also saw some other review saying it was wanda vision 2 and I have never watched wanda vision and never plan on watching it is does have a lot of things to do with the show.",4
Boring . Try to be comedy so over . That's make it sucks . Spider-Man didn't appear in the movie that long . All about teenage comedy movie .,3
I didn't love this movie and I didn't hate this movie. It was just okay for me. Some of the sequences were edge of your seat kind of thrilling and then other times the story kind of drags. I didn't feel very satisfied when the movie was over.,7
"I'm not picky like these other viewers apparently. I love it honestly, I don't read the comics so this it like watching them I guess . I'm a big multiverse fan though , I can see why it's not for everyone but I'm loving it and love the animation .",9
"In the beginning I was a little sceptical from watching this, since all MCU fanboys were saying that this is the best superhero show ever (meanwhile Doom Patrol and The Boys are laughing in a corner), and we know exactly what their track record has been. So I was expecting this to be only good enough to be expanded into multiple seasons, and that it has only used BLM as a plot tool (I didn't know the context back then, so I was expecting it to be something around that). But now that I have seen it, it may not be as good as WandaVision or Loki, but it does what it was meant to do - Action.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is not very different from a Captain America movie, except there is a different Captain America this time around - John Walker. Falcon gave away Steve's shield to the US government and they in turn made Walker the new Captain America. Bucky is very upset because of this, since Captain's shield meant a lot to him. Meanwhile he is trying to get himself medical help to get rid of his PTSD. They both team up because Bucky wanted some adventure and together they go after an insurgent group called The Flag Smashers.

The show, just like Black Widow and Captain Marvel, is extremely divisive. Either you will love it or you will hate it. There is nothing in between. I liked it for the CGI, action scenes and the sense of humour. The plot, however, was pretty generic. The cinematography also wasn't something really unique, although the CGI scenes really made it look good. The return of Baron Zemo was also pretty fun to watch. He as a character completely steals the show while he is in it. There is also Okoye, who wants to capture Zemo so that he can be put to trial for T'Chaka's murder. I don't really like watching the Wakandans and they feel a little out of place here, so that wasn't that much fun either (other than the fight scene between Okoye and John Walker).

The last episode was one long action sequence, which was really fun to watch until Karli started to get shown as an important character. I really wanted her to die, since she was so annoying. The new Captain America was introduced in the last episode, and although the new Cap looks way cooler than the one we're used to seeing, it ruins the thing that made Captain America so much fun to see. Captain America is supposed to be one ordinary man with a shield. He only has a shield because his other arm is no less than a sword. But the new Captain America has wings, exhaust pipe and visors. That makes his shield absolutely useless.

I'm pretty sure this will have a season 2, and I'm already really excited to watch it. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is a fun show to watch. Overall it has the same advantages and disadvantages as a generic MCU movie. I really appreciate they made this, which now makes us care more about Sam and Bucky, who had until now only lived in Steve's shadow. Let's see what they will have to offer next.",7

"I can't say that the movie was bad since Tarantino holds a high standard, but I never in my wildest dreams thought that Tarantino of all could possibly create a scene that felt forced. Leonardo DiCaprio was brilliant as always but that's where the brilliance stops. A movie with unnecessarily long shots, characters that you don't care about but foremost a story that you care even less about. I really felt that this film was created for people who work in the movie industry. I've been to a number of sets in my life and I've seen what directors and actors go through and this movie really showed what's going on behind the scenes but not everyone can relate to that. I'm sorry to say that this one was my least favorite movie of his, I really wanted to like it since he's my favorite director, but I just couldn't cling on to anything from this movie.",6
"Amazing. I have watched all 3 seasons 3 times and it never gets old. It's one of my top 3 shows ever and it is so good I can't explain it in words, you just have to watch it. I just finished the last episode of season 3 for the third time today and I'm gonna watch it again now that it's on Netflix. I recommend this show so much and you have to watch it; you definitely won't regret it.",10
While watching the movie I was wondering when did the DC started making bad movies like this. The Batman trilogy was great. But after that they tried to compete with the Marvel and lost the grip somehow. I wish I could take back the time spent to watch this movie.,3
I was thoroughly gripped after the first episode and the first few were very good. This probably just exasperated the downhill slide in the second half of the series. I'm used to movies/TV series adapted from Stephen King novels having below par endings compared to his books but this started deteriorating from before halfway and it took me four attempts to watch the final episode - I had lost all interest in anything that was happening and didn't care about anyone by then. What a terrible waste.,4
"So lets be clear, Moon Knight is Marvels Batman....

And yet the writers have decided that they can do better than Batman & then they decided that what was better than Batman was a bumbling bufoon, literally sleeping walking thru a barely there plot, having to be rescued from his own story.

That is NOT more interesting than Batman.",1

Expected more from Hugh Jackman.. Totally Disappointed..!,4
"This movie has been done (a LOT) before and done better. The only reason I bothered to give it a 2 is for the location and the Ferrari scene. Not a single joke was funny, some were just painful. Sandler and Aniston, an overrated duo, play the same dull characters they always do, trying way too hard to be quirky and funny, and failing miserably. The plot twists were honestly dumb and predictable and character behaviors in some parts didn't make sense. Only worth watching if you're really bored.",2
"Stupid, irritating and humourless. Who are they really trying to appeal with lame, campy, black & white style sitcoms? They could have created a far better series with Wanda & Vision, but this was their end result? Truly pathetic.",1
"While heading to the washroom during a storyline in the movie, I was asked by the attendee how the movie was. I replied ""Like Matrix meets Crouching Tiger and the Three Stooges"". It was everything merged into this new Kung Fu style. Dancing bad guys in the style of the Sinatra era, fantastic visual effects and just the right amount of comedy to morph it into what could already be considered a classic in it's genre. There's nothing more fun than a Chow movie in this respect. I'd love to see him continue to re-invent the classic style into something new like this. More people will be turned on to a new brand of film-making mixed with an old style.",10
Amazing cinematography by Roger deakins.. This is one of the best war movie..,8
So season 1 and 2 are good made well but then you get to the later seasons it almost becomes this cheesy 90s action show like Texas Walker but still good my vote for 8 stars are for season 1 and 2,8

"I'm not honestly a huge fan of vampire and witch films and TV. True Blood was watchable, the Originals was ok. Neither really engaged me. My OH is a fan though. So going into this new series about witches, vampires and their ilk left me only moderately interested. Usually when faced by probably-not-going-to-be-interesting TV I would bring something to read to the sofa, as I did on this occasion. I didn't get any reading done. The story is based around US academic who apparently is a witch, but does not really engage in the whole witch thing, preferring a normal life. After about 20mins of the first episode I can honestly say I was hooked. Completely. Great characters. The story is engaging (I'm up to episode 4 now). What supernatural stuff there is is actually done quite well. What I think is clever is that the fantastic world of supernatural creatures is given something of an historical basis. Fictional, of course, but it provides a refreshing context to the story telling. The acting is good. The settings are great: old castles, modern universities and the real world. So now I am hooked and thoroughly looking forward to the next episode. Great TV, even if you are not into the whole blood sucking magic wand stuff.",9
Definitely below my expectations. I couldn't understand exactly what he was saying. How do they spend so much money and make movies like this? Interesting.,2
"I am from Brazil and I like to watch foreign Tv series. With streaming, this became easily. I am always trying to watch productions from different countries and this Tv series was a wonderful surpirse. As others said here, if you are not from India, maybe in the beginning you'll need a little effort. But it is well worth it. Dense, dark, brutal, edgy. Can't wait for the next season!",9
"Chernobyl is a masterpiece about storytelling, sound design, and time adaptation.

The amount of work that was put into making every single detail as real as possible is impressive.

Characters are well developed, dialogues flow easily, exposition is well exposed, and the different narratives converge perfectly.

The make-up department went over the top.

Some of the political statements about communism seem forced and could have been better done.

The ending of the story is really good and answers all the questions asked by the spectator during the show.",8
"This is good and has some great moments. Having read the book I was really looking forward to it. The special effects are amazing and Michael Sheen is just great.

Not sure why we had the unnecessary and boring scenes with the modern witch and her (Spanish?) mother (who/what/why????). What a waste of time and effort- only the BBC would feel the need to waste our licence money this way.

Although funded by the British public via their compulsory TV licence fee, the series is NOT available on BBC iplayer. That doesn't sound right does it?",7
This series is great! The use of music at time is just amazing and even the story line is also authentic. The first season is great but the second season is even better with a lot of turns and twists you will definitely enjoy watching it although it can be made a little bit more crisp because sometimes it looks like episodes are stretched but except that it is great and a must watch,9
"It wants te be a sort of comedy, mixed with drama, romance, action and adventure, but it is badly executed. Instead of a mix of the 5 it's none of them. The acting is average at best, the script is mwah, the timetravelplots are huge. And why are the main characters so dumb? Good thing is the music though.",3
"The absolute best thing about this movie, is that it drives *exactly* the right people up a wall. In truth, it is neither as frivolous as it outwardly appears, nor nearly as socially progressive as it wants to be. And it's certainly not as clever as it thinks it is. Supporting characters played by Kate McKinnon and Will Ferrell are basic, and frankly unnecessary. As for the humor, only a few lines land. ""I'm a man without power, does that make me a woman?"" was one of the few. The 2001 opening was cute. The railway joke I'd seen on social media, and thought that was good, but in the film it just felt like they were trying a little *too* hard to be clever. I appreciate it, but I just don't feel they committed enough to that tack.

On the plus side, there's never going to be a time when watching Margot Robbie is going to be a chore. She is wonderfully charming, and does a great job making the character and film work as much as it does. America Ferrera also does a great job, and has the only real scene of strident messaging to bother (those people who try hard to be bothered by such things). But, that is the point-of-view of the film, and what the filmmakers wants to portray. More power to them.

As for the ""plot' such as it is, it's really just another fish-out-of-water, or even, body-switch trope, with the added metaphysical dimension of reality vs. Fantasy. Which is what put me in mind of Purple Rose of Cairo. A film with a broader, less directed, female empowerment message, but a similar contrast of harsh reality and idealized fantasy. Pink Rose of Cairo.",7
"Not knowing absolutely nothing about Witcher, I really enjoyed this show. It was a bit of a learning curve not knowing who is who or many of the easter eggs or symbolism in the show but Henry Cavill was a presence on screen. I also found myself interested in the other characters of the show especially Yennifer. Overall it was a fun show that I would continue to watch when other seasons are released.",8
"This movie was weird as hell. I don't understand why all the positive reviews besides for the film's great cast. I hate the accent, ""Oh, ya?"" Ugh... So annoying. The cast was great, but their characters were horrible. This movie doesn't belong to any genre, unless quirky is a genre. Why is the main character needing money? Don't know because they never say. Can't believe this won 2 Oscars.",2
"Typical nonsensical TV - watch the pitch meeting on YouTube for more details on how bad this really is.

Plot holes. Weird motivations. Stressed character development and poor ""reveals"" I would think the cw would have something to do with this show.

Can't believe the fangrils hyping this up so much because they like Tom Hiddleston.",5
"Solidly entertaining throughout, and with some improvement in performances, Spider-Man 2 is not a great superhero film, but it is a very enjoyable one. Needless to say, due to Tobey Maguire in the lead role, and Raimi's directing style, there are bound to be quite a few silly moments throughout the film. Things can feel random or a bit out of place at times, though I can't help but feel I enjoyed the film better than the first. Besides some few notable moments that many may recognize today, Spider-Man 2 I feel is ultimately a much better written film than the previous installment, as the characters on the screen feel like more than just outlines. The depth into the characters is definitely seen more this time around, and I enjoyed delving into the character of Doc Ock, played by Alfred Molina, who I believe is the standout in this film. James Franco is also quite good in this film, as well as J.K. Simmons as always, who always brings his A-game to his performance. The action scenes, especially those containing large amounts of CGI are a bit dated, but no point of the film ever feels dull or boring. It's an entertaining superhero romp, that is far from perfect, but one that kept me engaged and smiling with until the end. My Rating: 8.5/10",9
"With so many amazing talents (except superman who was never good in acting anyway) , this is a fairy high budget film but very bad in directing and super bad in script writing. Very high hopes of it but started to hate it after 13 minutes. If you love shelock holmes movies just dont see it, if you are a Millie Brown's fan please please please dont see it, cos this film almost ruin her career.",4
"I know films are supposed to evoke emotions, make you sad, scared, angry, but it's always, however contradictory it may seem, in a good way! I don't need one to actually stress me out, I've got enough of that already. Credit where credit is due, this IS on purpose. The Safdie brothers are meticulous in their process of letting the audience feel the stress their lead character is under, and I can appreciate and applaud that. It just wasn't for me. My heart was pounding, non stop, but it wasn't in a good way. It wasn't in the way you normally get it with great thrillers, or even horror films. It wasn't exciting as much as it was unpleasant, I wasn't on the edge of my seat as much as I was on the verge of popping a Valium.

As for the plot, there hardly isn't any to speak of, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, because it leaves space for everything else. What it is about is a guy with debt and gambling issues, living through probably the worst couple of days of his life, and there is hardly a single second of quiet and reprieve from the mayhem. Characters are constantly shouting, fighting, cursing each other out, I wouldn't be surprised to read in the trivia section, that there isn't a single moment in the entire film where at least 2 characters aren't speaking at the same time. As such, there is hardly time to care about any of the characters, a lot of the time I found it hard to even care what happed to Howard, despite the brilliant portrayal by Sandler.

The Safdie brothers have made the kind of film they wanted to make, I'm sure of that, and the craft is nothing short of astonishing. It's just that, in making the film they wanted to make, they made an extremely uncomfortable one. I was stressed, I was depressed and not in any good way!",5
"For those who hasn't watch it yet, I need to do my warning: You will not see anything memorable when you go to the theaters. You will see a movie filmed on green screen from beggining to the end and watch over 60 superheroes jumping planet to planet.

There is no outstanding acting, no appealing visuals, no impressive dialogues, no idea, no plot, no message, nothing satisfying! You may like DC style dark and serious superhero movies, you may like Marvel kind silly and funny superhero movies but you are going to hate this in both conditions.

Don't be decieved by ratings, I don't know what these people watched to give these reviews but the hype didn't worth it!",2
"bill murray is by far one of the best comic actors of his generation. His work in Rushmore warranted an academy award, and the fact that he was not recognized only reveals the poor taste of the academy. in lost in translation, bill murray shines. his every movement and gesture communicates more than most of his contemporaries could in an entire scene. however, he is the only reason that this movie has any entertainment value. coppola doesn't seem to know what she wants to say about tokyo, love, or alienation. a few of her shots are absolutely beautiful, such as the view of tokyo from the hotel window, but many others are unnecessarily slow and seemingly thoughtful- but absent of any real purpose. The finished result is sloppy. Boom mikes are visible. Murray does something that would be morally objectionable by his characters standards, yet is not phased- and the act is never mentioned again throughout the movie. Had Bill Murray not been in this film, it would be a flop. And as it is, he is the only reason worth watching. Save your money until this is released on video.",3
"I'd give it a -10 if I could. This movie absolutely RUINED the franchise!! It should not even be an Annabelle movie it is nothing like it predecessors. Unrealistic, childish and just plain stupid aside from being horribly boring! Its like the person who wrote this didn't bother to even watch any of the other films. Almost 2 hrs of my life I'll never get back. Do yourself a favor PASS PASS PASS!! HORRIBLE",1
"Everything about this movie was so forced, the acting was terrible and the special effects were over the top. It was just terrible in every way.

How on earth did anyone approve a sequel to this garbage.",2
"The best sequel ever made.

Amazing movie.

You can not be a movie buff, without seeing this movie!!!",10
"I really wonder, how the hell could that movie win 4 oscars... ?!!!!!",2
"I will be brief- The acting overall is good, henry does the job well, Ciri and yenffer are portrayed better then i expected and i really liked dandelion actor. There are other actors which i felt didn't do a good job but that mostly because the dialogue can be stiff at times. The fights are very good (especially when geralt is fighting) but some shots needed to be longer in the fighting scenes. The shows stays faithfull to the books but changes a few bits of details (mostly nothing to be mad over). Overall? Its a good show and as a witcher fan (both books and games) its better then what i expected. Its not the masterpiece everyone is calling it though.",7
"This is a beautifully filmed homage to old Hollywood films. Visually stunning and exquisitely filmed, however, it was a very long movie almost bereft of a plot. It all came together in the end but it was 2 hours and 42 minutes where all the action takes place in the last 20 minutes. Terantino definitely pays homage to Hitchcock with his colorful street shots and background sounds. The sets were beautifully constructed and you definitely felt the atmosphere involved in making movies and tv shows. I liked this, don't get me wrong but it needed more of a plot and could have been about an hour shorter.",5
"At least quarantine has given me the chance to catch up on movies I've missed like 'Knives Out'.

This movie has an incredible star-studded cast with spectacular performances across the board. Standouts include Daniel Craig and his Kentucky accent, Chris Evans telling people to eat sh**, and Ana de Armas with easily the best performance in the movie. Not only does Rian Johnson do a great job with directing this movie, but an even better job writing it.

However, the movie mistakenly goes against the murder-mystery formula. We're given too much information too early, which makes the last half of the movie less interesting. The point of a murder-mystery is to play ""detective"", analyze the characters and see if you can figure out whodunnit, but this was spoiled for us too early. Even still, this was a clever, well thought out movie with great characters and a fun storyline.

Score: 7 out of 10

Recommended for: Fans of murder-mysteries, fans of Rian Johnson subverting your expectations, or fans of Captain America telling you to eat sh**.",7
"I want to love this show but I can't. This show has so much potential but I find myself rolling my eyes and yelling ""OH COME ON"" every episode. Yet, I find myself continuing to watch hoping it will somehow redeem itself. Or hoping some will finally throw Dr Smith out an airlock.",4
Very strange movie. Almost turned it off for like 10 times. For me not Tarantino s best movie. Too long also.,4
"Smart, clever and very exciting. Would recomend to anyone who is in for a bit dark and mind-boggling show.",9
I was really excited to see this movie. Dragged my family out on Christmas night. Left disappointed and with a terrible headache.,2
Solely a political correct movie made to satisfy the african-american viewers.,4
This film has moments but I am not a big fan of Brian Michael Bendis and his weird politics or the inside jokes he filters into work. This film is Bendis on steroids and LSD. Peter Parker is a washed up white guy (hello America) and the future is Miles Morales - a black / latino kid & a white woman (Gwen) who is independent and puts Miles in the friend zone. They rip the classic Kingpin design of Bill Sienkiewicz. I honestly feel this movie was trying to brainwash me or something. I wasn't big fan of the animation.,6
"It was an orgiastic feast for the eyes- I am not big on 3D, but I commend it's quality. Full marks- 3/3 + 1/1 wow-factor. Other important aspects to consider in a film- Dialogue: 0/3- I have writhed at scenes which contain that socially awkward, English humour. This is one of the few films I remember seeing a film where I squirmed on behalf of the writers. Terribly written. Next up, Plot-line- 0/3 Not only is it easy to write a film whose core is ""Person infiltrates society, ends up liking them, and changing sides"", but many have been written pertaining to a Western Civilisation battling Environment- Fern Gully being my favourite. I can't wait till the era of 'supermodel' films passes.",4
"The modern version of Holmes is also impressive. He and Doc. Watson joined forces to solve one strange case after another. Although he and Watson share the same aspirations, but there are always many contradictions in the process of getting along with each other, but such contradictions make the two sides get closer and closer and become constant good friends for the rest of their lives. Watson is always caught up in relationships with different girls because he longs for a family, but he always puts down his date with a girl or looks for clues during a date because of Sherlock's request, often making a lot of jokes and finally breaking up with his girlfriend. At this time, Shylock was the expression of schadenfreude, and Watson was always looking at Shylock in distress. Sometimes Watson was really angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. Whenever Sherlock told him where there was a new case, he would go there without hesitation. This may be why Watson and Sherlock have always been good friends, both have a strong desire to solve the answer, even if the performance is not the same. I believe a lot of people who have seen it will feel the same way as I did in terms of storyline, story creativity, detail handling, role setting, actor choice, shooting techniques, and so on. This TV series has set a new benchmark for Sherlock's story and even reasoning type TV series, and let many viewers who pay attention to American TV shows know that this TV series has set a new benchmark for Sherlock's story and even reasoning type TV series.",9
"Very good and different movie, not like typical Bollywood movies which I hate.",8
"Great job on details on hairstyles of women, some clothes, interior elements. This gets .5 star. Another .5 start is for identity of old buildings that haven't functioned for more than 30 years. Unfortunately, the writer demonstrated zero understanding of the soviet system. He put way too many idiotic scenes and broken logical lines. Too many scenes created through the prism of the American mentality and the mentality of a person who grew up in a capitalist system. That's why those scenes are laughable. Btw, Actors did a good job.",1
The cut scenes in COD are better scripted and the action is better in COD too. Can I get my 2hrs back please. Woeful. Netflix at try harder!,1
"Unbelievable, edge of the seat suspense, best ever thriller, superb acting, nice direction, etc etc etc . Highly recommended to watch this movie.

#best_movie #deserve_Oscar.",10
"Without the attachment of the franchise name, this movie is a great comedic ""mystery"" with a timely plotline, which several of these reviews fail to recognize.

To put in a little perspective, I haven't seen the first Knives Out movie (I just never got around to it). I watched this with some of my Discord friends on a livestream. I did not realize it was supposed to be a sequel until after the movie, which definitely alters the viewing experience.

With all of this being said, this is not a mystery movie. I figured out what happened the second that Helen was introduced. It is very straightforward and not an original plotline. It is satire - something that is very easy to not catch (as you can see from some of the other reviews) - and it is reiterating commentary on recent socio-politics.

The characters are two-dimensional because they're supposed to be caricatures that are so obvious that even the people being made fun of can see it (you can easily replace everyone besides Blanc with an actual public figure). The plotline is a collection of Onion headlines, a thing that has gotten too real in recent times. It is slow and tedious, but it is still entertaining, such as life itself.

It is stupid. It is cringe. It is unoriginal. Its plotline is way too convenient to be realistic. That's the point. The recent events of the past couple of years are stupid, cringe, unoriginal, and unrealistic, which is what this movie is sort of about.

I had a point to this review, but I'm writing this at 3 am so the entire thing is probably incoherent. Live a little and go watch the movie for some good brain candy entertainment while you're drinking some ten-dollar wine or something. Have fun doing something stupid and cringe once in a while. ~Toodles ~",8
"Red Sparrow came as a surprise to me, after not being particularly intrigued by the promotional material and coming out to negative reviews it ended up being quite good. Not to say that it was amazing in any ways but it really just was a decent spy thriller with hard R violence and gore, certain scenes of the movie was completely cringing to behold. Nonetheless, I was surprised by the good time that I actually had with Red Sparrow.

Obviously, it isn't groundbreaking in any ways and the normal conventions of a spy thriller was used but seeing as it was just well acted and intriguing viewers can be hooked into the story and buy into the quote on quote twist at the end of the film. Because of Jennifer Lawrence's brilliant portrayal this film actually is a good watch.

Red Sparrow also takes several bold choices, really pushing the envelope in some cases when it comes to its sex and violence. But in this case, I think it worked, it wasn't just to get some sort of audience reaction but rather served a purpose of telling this brutal story and the harsh conditions that are faced by Jennifer Lawrence's character.

Well executed, filmed and acted resulting in a fairly decent film in which audiences could forgive its lack of a meaningful story.",6
"This is the same regurgitated Mike Bay we have grown to loathe. Leave it to Mr. Bay to make me hate Ryan Reynolds. I didn't think that was possible. This film would work if you cut out all the dialogue and just made some kind of sexy Gymkhana video for a cologne company. Whoever signed off on the soundtrack should be ashamed of themselves.

I quit.",1
"Wandavision is, so far, one of the most interesting experiences I've had this year. The long awaited primer Marvel TV show to show the MCU's new colors, debuts with a very solid presence, as it flaunts its unique concept with contagious confidence. The series follows the eponimous Wanda Maximoff and Vision, as their traumatic runaway lives finds them starring in what appears to be a series of american sitcoms. I can't say for certain if this is the first show to ever execute the idea of theming every episode around an era of television history, cronologically going forwards in every episode, as the black & white becomes technicolor, and the clothing goes from conservatist to bombastically hippie. But if it is the very first incarnation of such an idea, then kudos to Marvel and the showrunners for creating such an interesting concept.

Still, for as exciting as it was to wait for every new episode, WandaVision still resulted in a mixed result. As the series engages in its first, second, and former third acts, it maintains its dramatic momentum, with its unique aesthetic, era-inspired comedy, building up on the tension of the mistery surrounding the show. The performances are praise worthy, as the choice of new and returning characters (with some fun casting surprises), having the spotlight shine on Olsen's and Bettanny's as they play this characters as never before, clearly having as much as fun as possible in the process. It its in its latter third act, however, where things fall apart, quite dramatically, in fact, as the series surrenders much of its vision (pun intended) to tap into its greater picture. The final episodes felt rushed and unfinished, grasping for straws not only as it transitions back into the actual MCU, but as it tries to needlessly subvert the audiences expectations, even daring to throw away its own setup.

And an interesting side note: the special effects fall extremely short, sometimes displaying gilmpses of the cringeworthy creative/cinematgraphic CGI practices of the CW shows. At first, I gave the show some slack given the thight budgets of episodic formats, but as of today, the first episode of Falcon & Winter Soldier was released, effectively aging WandaVisions effects by a decade. Marvel seems to be willing to make the investments towards making this shows have film-like quality in its special effects, given the exciting first part of today's Falcon episode. They seem to have denied WandaVision such commodities, for some reason, as its effects look on par with Age Of Ultron, a movie that itself looked worse than its predecesor.

At its worst, WandaVision is an future MCU commercial, less subtle than the actual timely mockmercials present in every themed epìsode, as its sequelitis slips through the cracks, promising future productions instead of present cohesiveness. At its best, however, WandaVision shows glimpses of its own independant strenght, and it makes me wish it dared to stand prouder on the merit of its unique concept as a more standalone production. Of course, still connected with the wider universe, but more commited to its own arc, daring to fully embrace its love for television. Cuz', honestly, don't we all love it, too?",5
"I cannot believe BvS, Man of Steel and JL are waaaay much better films than this. DARK PHOENIX IS WAAAAY BETTER THAN THIS. What a waste of time and cringe-worthy sense of humor from the main actor. Stupid protagonist as well.",3
"Flawed writing, poor character development and gaps in an unrealistic plot: I had such high hopes. This is somewhat disappointing. The female lead is very good. An excellent accent. Believable. The male lead is a good actor; but not believable as a writer. I really wish this were better.",5
"I don't write reviews but this has to be said. I really liked season 1. I thought it had 3 really great episodes. 1 amazing, best episode of the year and 4 pretty mediocre, alright episodes. Overall, I pretty much loved the show for myself. Was great to see the game (I don't like) be translated into the show which I preferred more. Even though I liked season 1 I wouldn't have reccomended it for anyone else to watch.

This brings me to season 2. I loved every episode of season 2! After this season, I would reccomend the show to everyone. Henry Cavill was a boyo, his words, expressions really shined through and you could see his sincerity. I just absolutley loved watching Ciri grow in this season. She went from being this shy scared little bird to a girl having banter with everyone, growing stronger and confident and finally flapping her wings. She was such a delight.

After finishing season 2, I have to admit I'm defintley watching this show again.

Season 2 was awesome! Worth every second. Can't wait for season 3.",8
IT IS AN ACTION MOVIE. ppl be acting like it's suppose to be the best movie and having stupid expectations on a michael bay film. ENJOY IT instead of giving it a seriously idiotic 1/10 review when it clearly deserves better.,7
"The only part I liked about this movie is Chris and few action scenes. The story is too raw like 1980s typical action movies. I know its a movie and no relation with real life but to build a good movie we expect director will do some research so that some basic things doesn't deviate much from reality. I live in Bangladesh and all the things showed about Bangladesh not even close to realities. Neither the environment, culture, child terrorism, landscape, socio economy condition nothing is even close.",4
"A terrible movie that leaves a bad aftertaste. Watching through the meat of the movie, I'm not enjoying the plot or the character of Howard. However, knowing Sandler's work and seeing the ratings from others, I'm thinking the ending will have a payoff. To me, it doesn't, and I feel a visceral reaction to it. 2 hour buildup to this!!! You gotta be kidding me! I'll never watch this again...Sandler's acting is phenomenal, but the plot and ending is an absolute dumpster fire.",3
"The overall soundtrack but especially the first 10 mins could be used as torture interrogation. I was ready to confess to anything by the time the background music softened (slightly). Grating music, over amplified background chatter and shouty dialogue made me almost turn off.

The film is watchable but hugely frustrating. I think Sandler portrays the chaotic lifestyle pretty well and I thought the female leads were pretty strong.

I think where I just struggle is the amount of stupid decisions this guy makes. It got to a point where i just started losing interest in where the story was headed and by the end I had zero interest in the outcome. I stuck with it and there are some good points but just left with a feeling of missed chances.",3
"You know those special movies that leave you with something more than you had before you watched them? They enrich you, teach you, show you. This isn't one of those.

Interstellar is the pathetic result of a lot of bad ideas slamming together in Nolan's mind, falling out as broken disjointed garbled mush in the script.

The script isn't the only problem with all of it's hammy hokum and lack of character. Even the heralded special effects are so cliché at this point that they hardly add anything to this abyssal cavity of broken ideas.

Here is what happened. Nolan saw some discovery channel show, or perhaps PBS, about the cosmos. He said to himself, ""I could make an adventure movie about that."" Unfortunately for those of us who recognize good cinema from average and just slop, he couldn't.

I watch zero budget movies with more thoughtfulness than this two hundred million dollar nightmare. Trade me all of the special effects in the world for one moment of realistic human emotion.

As cynical as it sounds, after seeing the 9 of 10 rating for this garbage, I question whether or not humanity would even deserve to be saved from the cataclysm.",2
It's a good action movie. But not a great one. Fast paced action sequences are the highlights. A one time watch.,6
"The movie starts out with good energy, which drew me in. This is not really a movie about Barnum, but a musical based (very loosely) on Barnum's life. Accepting that, what can we hope for? The best musical theater will give you the pleasures of music, choreography, and production design. Exceptional musicals like ""Hamilton"" and ""My Fair Lady"" will incorporate great storytelling. Unfortunately, ""The Greatest Showman"" falls short. The production design is truly wonderful, and the choreography is okay up to a point. The songs, however, are pretty generic. Not a single memorable melody. They only serve the purpose to push the story along. And alas, the storytelling devolves into soapy fiction. There is an underlying theme, represented by Barnum's crew of freaks, of diversity and opposition to racism. Admirable, but weakly executed. Hugh Jackman does a great job of carrying this movie, but he is ultimately crushed by its burden of glossy shallowness.",4
"This movie just never grabbed me. Even if it was for the kiddos, it just fell flat. I think it came down to the finale, which I felt was lack-luster, and dealt with little to no real issues that the hero had to overcome. He just had to show off, the entire movie, and I felt never grew up.",6
An overrated movie from critics with cheap set-design and minor plot to follow. Good for younger audiences that like only action but fails to deliver in many aspects...,4
"The first issue I have is with set design, the movie posits the trenches as a bit muddy but not too bad. The plot ambles from device to device to keep it moving but I was more and more incredulous the longer it went on. The 'single' shot was impressive and immersive but let down by the wider portrayal of the action. Many critical reviews have made the same observations I would so I won't labour the points, but it reflects badly on the other offerings we've had this year that this film has got the accolades that it has.",4
"My biggest worry about the Hannibal spin-off TV show, was Dr. Hannibal Lector. Would Mads pull off the same amazing and iconic performance that Anthony Hopkins did in Silence of the Lambs, Red Dragon and Hannibal. Well, my worries fell hard, because Mads did one of the best re-imagining song Hannibal Lector that I could imagine. This the. Becomes a fantastic show. Full of mystery, suspense and the occasional horror that you're not expecting.

One of the best TV shows I've seen. Violent enough to be entertaining but not too gory to be off putting. Hannibal pulls off something I thought was impossible, but long and behold this is a TV show for the collection.",10
"Of all things that witcher is, its not corny, its dark, sad, suspensful , moody , intense

The witcher is not bad by any means, most people would like it, but i have a lot of time spent in the games therefore i just cannot enjoy the netflix adaptation like i would if i hadnt given a few hundred hours into the games. The characters are all very forgettable,it seems as though the makeup is too perfect and looks overly made, it all feels like a kids show with overly brushed effects and lighthings.At times i almost feel like they werent too sure how dark they could go so they made sure to put some comic relief in there alongside of a disneyesque morales and corny dialogues.

Most of the acting is subpar, if you were to compare it to say game of thrones of viking, there really is no deepness to them, i feel mostly because of the shallow scripts

All in all, okay, but not great.",7
"I hate to be so negative about this film, but actually I think this is so overrated. This is probably because everyone focuses on Lady Gaga the first time as an actor in a big movie. Her performance is good, yes, but I think, we all expected that. But anyway, fairly said, she is the highlight of the film, but only a mediocre one. The story isn't surprisingly new, what is no wonder for a re-re-re-make. Bradley Cooper is perfomaning well, as always, but his role stays very one-dimensional. Him directing as well surprised me though. The movie has no dynamic, as a viewer you don't no where it's heading, and the only music is on-stage which is slowing everything down even more. I'm sorry to say, but one of the films I regret seeing in 2018.",3
"Forget all the whiny reviewers who have given it one a star rating. Forget all the bleating about how the original (which I like) was better. Forget all the naysayers who condemn the show after one or two episodes. Forget all the armchair astrophysicists nit-picking about ""real science"" - it's a tv show not Cosmos! The only thing wrong with season one was it only ran ten episodes! Sharp writing, great acting, good chemistry and an awesome robot. Throw in a cliff-hanger season ending scene and all systems are go for season two. Don't believe everything you read and watch it yourself WITH AN OPEN MIND!",1
"Sam Mendes decided to make an homage to Terrence Mallick. I was looking forward to this film, so I was utterly disappointed in this boring drivel. Note to self: If an enemy plane is shot down and the pilot is still alive-shoot him! Further note to self: If an enemy soldier is charging towards me-shoot him first. I was hugely disappointed with 'Dunkirk' but even more so with this snoozer.",4
"This shows writing, its action, its characters, set pieces, pacing, music, art, animation are just so Good. SO. GOOD.

If you watch this show and your aren't brought to tears at least twice then I'm not sure what will.

If you watch this show and the action sequences don't excite you then I'm not sure what will.

If you watch this show and the characters don't connect with you then I'm not sure what will.

If you watch this show and don't fall in love with the world, don't feel moved by the themes, aren't amused by the humor, don't feel any emotion come over you, ""wipe yourself off man because you are dead"".",10
When this movie was released I have to say I was quite disappointed. Bill Murray is a great actor and I have always admired him and his abilities but he could not fix this very slow and boring movie. I had never and have never since walked out on a movie as I did with this one. The story line was really a stretch and so slow to get to no story. It was very much like Seinfeld - a story about nothing. Listening to adults whine and cry about their life is so pretentious and useless. I found no entertainment value what so ever with this movie.,1
"I'm not personally a massive fan of Sandra Bullock and her movies to begin with, but I tried to watch this with an open mind; regardless, this is a film with a lot of star power and budget... and not much else. Netflix's exceptional ability to promote mediocre films may bring them some serious revenue, but hasn't translated into many quality end products. The eventual disappointment of wasting 2 hours of your life watching this travesty is beyond insulting.

An interesting (if slightly saturated) premise of fearing an entity you cannot see made the underlying plot intriguing, but is not explored fully enough, nor given any sort of satisfactory conclusion. This hidden menace is a constant threat, but lacks any substance, meaning no true fear can be felt by the viewer. Without spoiling the film, know that plotholes and unfinished storytelling will leave you with more questions than when you started.

Acting, on the whole, is good enough, along with some impressive CGI and grusome-enough death scenes. Bullock herself embodies the role well, but certain decisions and actions will have you shouting at the screen for something to begin to make sense. John Malkovich also provides some decent charisma, about the only person in the film who's character seems to make any sense. Bird Box is a 4 purely due to the redeeming qualities of acting and visuals. Not much else is on offer here, and as with nearly all horror films the end product is beyond disappointing.",4
My comment I love the new and diff rent look at this subject. Keep it coming and don't hold back !,8
"Argo exhibits an always risky blend of genres, in which comedy and political, here, and drama coexist in harmony for much of it and then make way for a thriller. it seems that Ben Affleck grown to a realization of his abilities and limitations as an actor; as he decidedly self-assign somber-looking characters in his films. the very good supporting cast make a success out of the comedy side of things. but this kind of film doesn't allow room for reflection, beside the skill of sustaining suspense, you're just supposed to follow; and in the end of the thriller when the issue is finally resolved, you're not left with much else to say after that. and there's really no afterthoughts. but it's good entertainment while it's running.",7
"If you're expecting HP Deathly Hallows or Prisoner of Azkaban level of tightly knit story and cinematography, prepared to be massively disappointed. This felt more like a filler movie.",2

"I really can't understand why everyone is calling this things like ""the best movie ever"" ""the best comic book movie ever"" etc...

This movie was mediocre. I can only figure that people are giving rave reviews because of Heath Ledger's untimely death. It's the same thing that happened when Kurt Kobain died. While I agree that it is tragic that Ledger passed away, that doesn't make him the greatest actor of all time. Nor does it make his performance in this movie better than it was. Ledger's Joker was O.K. I found his mannerisms distracting and annoying. He didn't bring all this dimension to the character like everyone is saying because the Joker is a one-dimensional villain. I don't really understand what's so exciting about it, or deep, or dark, or revolutionary.

Christian Bale's weird voice thing was ridiculous, distracting, and obnoxious.

The plot was honestly, kind of boring. My boyfriend fell asleep and he is a total comic book nerd.

The Dark Knight has a 9.5 out of 10 rating on IMDb. Sin City has an 8.4 out of 10. That's completely insane. Sin City was a phenomenal comic book movie. The Dark Knight is not even worth seeing in the theater.

Don't let all the hype fool you. Think for yourself and form your own opinion.",5
"Takes the, ""With great power comes great responsibility."" And twists it with, ""Absolute power corrupts absolutely."" Genius creation brought to tv splendor with the amazingly inspired acting by all of the damned cast! (Well done!!!) The only reason I didn't give it 10 Stars was the lack of perspective on the emotional range of the female characters with regard to sexual assault. I think the writers did a good attempt to understand. But, c'mon guys... unless you literally live every day knowing a larger, more aggressive guy could choose to molest, rape, or even murder you with very little risk of reprisal, it just won't feel authentic. P.S. We need more Billy Butchers in this world!",9
Seriously who gave money to the directory of this crapiest movie? KGB? FSB?,1
"Everyone loves Agent Coulson. I love Agent Coulson, but very quickly I am seeing Marvel jumping the shark. Marvel is working under the assumption that EVERYONE loves the Marvel movie series, good stuff. Good stuff. Marvel is also working under the assumption that everyone loves Joss Whedon, Will Wheaton, whoever... Ick. Look, it is glossy and fun, but it only lasts as long as a fan film can go. This pilot passes as a fan film. Coulson is a great PERIPHERAL character, but it is like putting too much salt on your food, add the fact the effects are obviously not as expensive as the films... SHIELD story lines in the comics can be more often than not annoying as heck... The casual viewer trying to tune in to get another Marvel Movie experience is going to get a generic franchise that is shooting itself in he foot. The pilot isn't dreadful, but the pilot is already too much of a good thing and it is tiresome. It needs to either go completely Marvel, or just accept this is NCIS with superheroes, and the fact it is playing at the exact same time as NCIS, well, I already know what to watch.",1

"97% on Rotten Tomatoes, give me a break.

I guess I ""just don't get it"", because I thought this movie was terrible.

Suicide Squad gets horrible reviews and it wasn't great, but it was still way better than this garbage.

I guess all you have to do is make some incredibly boring movie about fictional black history, and call it a Super Hero movie and woke Hollywood will call it the greatest movie of all time.

Sorry, it was HORRIBLE.",2
"Did not expect it to be this good. The actors are on point , the script is very good ... what more can you ask for.

Worth the watch , needs more advertisment so people know how good it is.",9
"Writing on this series needs work. The show deals with creepy elements such as the afterlife, Egyptian gods, and so on, but they're handled without the usual panache that makes those elements grab the viewer. We're two episodes in, and it's a mostly cut and dried ho-hum story with on-the-nose statements about what's happening.",5
"Didn't expect extreme action sequences. Story was a bit weak. Could have been better. Lot of patriotic fervour. Tried a bit of love angle, thank goodness they did not continue. A compact movie with decent act.",7
"The first two seasons of this program were about as good as television can be. Genuinely amazing. Unfortunately, everything past that isn't half as good. Not sure what changed between then and now, but something definitely has.",5
"I think TVF team got too late to come up with Pitcher's sequel. It took 7 long years man. I don't wanna bluff here but I've watched Pitchers back in 2nd half of 2016. And for me it was highly intellectual series back then. It added some humor with it's interesting storyline and finally the team got succeed at the last episode ""Where Magic Happended"". But season 2 was all about Capital Expenditure and Lack of Funds. The struggle is realistic but the way they ended their story was too fast man! Either they should have stretched it for 1 more episode or they could have cut some unnecessary scenes from season 2.

Season 2 is quite mature here so we don't get any memorable funny moments like past season here. Characters like Mandal got so much matured in 4yrs of Corporate life (According to storyline). The way Dungeon_Master got his intro here in season 2 was predictable yet Nice to Watch but he is also got matured here; so lack of previous goosebumps with him .I will say the writer had potential to portray him as a strong -ve character but the writing was surely weak for him.

Yogi had nothing interesting to do here in this season. Naveen got power hungry and his pitch is still good to grab the attention of Investors. The major missing was ""Jeetu"" ; Of Course YES. We as a viewers missed him so much but I will not spoil it for you so leaving Jeetu's topic here.

Season 3 will be interesting to see. Now writer have the fully open potential to write it around Corporate Fights between 2 AI making companies. He should send Dungeon_Master to the opponent and Dungeon have to do some BadAss stuffs against Pragati's downfall,as he know all the tech stuffs of Pragati. In the Pivotal moment when Pragati is about to shut down, They should do the RE-Entry of Jeetu to Save the A$$ of Pragati and you can just imagine the Background Score at that moment (Just a hypothetical theory about s03 nothing else).

Anyway Wrapping off my Review with 8 Stars overall for both the seasons (10 stars for the 1st part and 6 stars for the 2nd part). Safe to watch with Family but you have to take care about the Gaali Words for surely.",8
"Was Steven Spielberg afraid to outright write and direct an actual biographical film? Or did he think that'd be obtuse? Who knows. But this film is definitely based on his life, with liberties taken for art sake. The film does confront Jewish antisemitism head-on, which is great, but makes me wonder, was Spielberg ashamed of his Jewish upbringing and religion?

The first part of the film also takes place in New Jersey, instead of where Spielberg's family was originally from, Cincinnati, Ohio. That could have been more interesting and more realistic for those who are big fans of Spielberg. I did like that Seth Rogen was a supporting cast member, I believe he acted one of his best roles.

The film ending on a cliffhanger when Sammy is about twenty years old, makes for a great set up if Spielberg decides on making a sequel. His meeting with the famous western movie director at the end of the film was a highlight for me, as it probably would for any real fan.",8
"So why are there black elves?

There are no other stories where you have elves other than pale ones on light skinned.

Is it so difficult to stay on track with history and lore?

A fork is a fork.

Other than the obvious woke points Netflix is aiming for, the casting and environment is good.

The witcher Is really good in general.

Nice sceneries, with great animations.

So far this is the best in its genera since game of thrones.

The witcher is a must see!!!",6
"So, there is a guy who is supposed to be like every other men in India who is sadist, masochist & dominating and wants his fiancée to be tortured as a homemaker inside the four walls of the house which he single-handedly manages, after marriage. He won't let her work, drive, get social and in the filmmaker's words... he won't let her enjoy.

Enter screenplay and you are shown preparations of an upper middle-class family wedding. The bride is all innocent and excited for that moment which only comes once in a life. She's also excited about the honeymoon in which she will finally shun her demureness. But the guy kicks in as a scumbag and speaks about break-up. She is devastated, evident from the emotional songs & brilliant background score. Next, the non-linear screenplay shows how she decides to visit Paris, her favorite place she always wanted to visit. She sets off.

Then you will see some portions of English Vinglish, with Ranaut's character fooling around and finally befriending a sexy, dolled-up neighbor who has the hots to make the protagonist's father weak in his knees. There is no electricity in India at her maternal home, but still they can chat with her daughter who is now living with a stranger, who happens to know Hindi a bit.

Then, just like Sridevi befriended few people of the world in English Vinglish, Rani, the character befriends 3 supposed bachelors viz., an American, a possible Chinese and a European - to fit the bill, you see. She lives-in with them in a 5 by 5 rickety flat and starts enjoying life. She intoxicates herself with alcohol and instantly converts to an extrovert from being all that coy. She still dreams of her days with her husband-to-be, who is brilliantly enacted by Rajkummar Rao.

The climax is anticlimactic and was purposely botched up to suit the whole melodrama the film deciphers: that womanhood can be best realized when you travel cross-country, stay with strangers, get inebriated, visit red-light districts, and finally toss the tension into a bin. At the end of the day, Queen strives on elements that are emotive and tries to reflect the current debate marred in the nooks of politics in India. The execution? The cliché-stagecraft-sympathy-empathy-carpe-diem combination only looks shiny on-screen; real life is a lot less scripted; that is where it slips into a roadside ditch and smothers in its vomit.

BOTTOM LINE: I seriously cannot take this type of heavy melodrama, but when a family consisting of two women - one 27, other 52 - has the same idea of the film's review, you know how average it is. Kangana Ranaut's performance was mildly interesting but I'll vote for Rao anytime. Supporting cast manages to entertain.

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? NO

"I need, desperately, to care about a character. Can't help but compare it to S1E1 of GoT, when I fell for Jon Snow, Ned Stark & Arya. Plus, the opening scene in that episode grabbed the viewers attention (not to mention the amazing theme song & opening credits, which changed each episode). I felt a little something for Princess Rhaenyra & the King, but that's it. I'll never NOT watch it. I love the genre. But...we'll see. I'll keep an open mind.",5

We Always Want to be on weaker side, for positive guys. Big dissapoint to me.",1
"Yelling, cursing, chaotic. Shut it off after first hour.",3
"12 years of slavery is an excellent film in its category of the film tracing the history of slavery. Besides the excellent actor sets, the film makes a very good state of the hardness of the slave system and injustice that currently prevails. Steve McQueen gives us a very sober movie and dark at once, purged of any unnecessary scenes where else too lenitive. No pretense here, it is indeed slavery with a lot of leather whips, rape and arbitrary sanctions.

However, we reproached him for the ""simplicity"" of the scenario somewhat Ordinary for a film of its kind, from capture to freedom through a series of events, not the least awful. Note the presence of some very constructive scenes which bear a reflection on the mental health of masters of slaves. We can therefore highlight several food for thought.

For the actor sets, it is simply perfect. A very skillful selection that we reveal to us the lovely Lupita Nyongo in a very touching role. The appearance of Brad Pitt is also to notice because despite his very brief intervention, it also bears an ideological turning point in the scenario.

Good movie at all, great acting skills but a basic scenario for those who have already enjoy from the great classics of slavery movies.",7
"Decades since i've seen it; watched it again. Still holds up. It shows you how a patriotic, peace loving Michael Corleone became a mafia boss. , one thing you should understand is that stories are meant to emulate life. Not all of them do, but the good ones surely try and achieve that. So, when you say nothing meaningful happened in 'The Godfather', it doesn't mean it's a bad story. It's basically emulating lives of people who, in your words, didn't live a very meaningful life. 'The Godfather' shows you that. It also shows you the transition of mafia from a relatively peaceful times to the vibrant seduction of drugs.",9

"From the very outset, Chernobyl, created and written by Craig Mazin and directed by Johan Renck, strikes an ominous note. It starts with the question, 'What is the cost of lies' - a question that becomes central to the plot - and within a few minutes, the audience witnesses the suicide of nuclear physicist Valery Legasov, portrayed brilliantly by Jared Harris.

The story then goes on a flashback mode, two years and one minute earlier, to be precise, to the black day when a nuclear accident - and the lies that precedes and succeeds the tragedy - leads to unmitigated damage and destruction.",9
"This is one of the best Direction of Vikas. One of the rere quality movies happened in India I don't think such a movie will come up again. Great story line, great Cast and direction. Fantastic!!",9
"I've only just started watching this show and already I've bought the full first season on DVD, I just couldn't help myself. I wouldn't call it ""fake"" anime, since it is most certainly inspired by it, but at the same time it is completely western. There are certainly elements of anime in it, especially in the way action and humour are played off each other. The style is similar to anime as well, and yet has a distinct look that declares it to be something else entirely.

Another interesting thing about Avatar is that the humour is very western. Though it is based in a world that is clearly influenced by the cultures of the east, the jokes and humour are very clearly inspired by what we as westerners consider funny but it is combined with eastern humour in regards to expressions and reactions of the characters. (Of course many of the reactions are also more based in the west than the east. Maybe I haven't watched enough anime but I don't remember many where characters hit themselves in the forehead when someone says something dumb or strange. In most anime such a reaction would involve the characters falling over) The storyline itself is excellent. The characters themselves are round and dynamic. Even the villain at the beginning of the show grows and changes with his experiences. He has his own history and his a sympathetic character in his own right. The writers take the time in making the characters more real, in giving them their own stories and backgrounds. Few of the important characters are flat or static. Some you really can come to hate and some you can come to sympathize with. There is a sense that some of these characters could be real people. The storyline is interesting and keeps you wanting to watch and see what happens next. The writers are also clever in how they give strong characters weaknesses and creating characters that at first could seem weak but come to show that they have strengths of their own. I would say that this show, though a cartoon, takes a page out of the book of anime and makes itself accessible to children and adults. I certainly enjoy watching it and get several good chuckles out of each episode. I would definitely recommend this show to anyone. I certainly hope the writers are able to keep it up.",10
"Did they forget to talk in Russian in the series?

I like the show but it losses the authenticity by not using the language that was spoken at that time of tha day! They weren't english so why shoot it in english! Would have given the show a 10 if this wasn't the case.",1
"First of all, I definitely didn't approach prejudiced, but I tried not to be as enthusiastic as possible due to popular culture. The series also had so many problems that it prevented me from concentrating. These are; irrelevant comedy, etc., which has horror elements, but if there is brutality, there will be a problem in watching the general audience, etc. Situations made me question what I'm watching, there are so many shortcomings as a story, so whoever decided this decided so wrongly on what was done to create a mystery that I was very surprised, in fact, I forced it to like it, but the person who made the CGI had just discovered the program and tried to show it himself using the basic elements, but in the wrong year...",5

"I was excited by the hype from this movie. It seemed early reviews were enthusiastic about the themes and tone of the movie. The first 30 minutes were slow, the middle frenetic, and the last boring.

It seemed like it just drags and I still doesn't seem to have a cohesive message and some of the characters really had no contribution or purpose. I was sorely disappointed. Over-hyped, and unsurprising my wife even fell asleep.... My teens left without a sense of what the story was. It was jumbled and I feel reviewers are praising it for the sake of praising a female empowering movie but those have been done much better before and without being tacky.",2
"First let me say, that I am a big fan of every actor in this film....and I usually like Tarantino films. But I cannot say many good things about ""Once Upon a Time in Hollywood"". This film is really boring and very long, I almost walked out multiple times.

The acting was good, but Tarantino's style of jumping from scene to scene really got old in this film. And when is Tarantino going to leave the World War 2 era?

I am impressed that Brad Pitt was willing to accept his role in this film, he took 2nd billing under DiCaprio. So glad to see Timothy Olyphant again, he's always entertaining. And Margot Robbie is simply one of the sexiest females to ever appear in movies.

If you go see this movie, do yourself a favor and have LOW expectations, then maybe you will be pleased with it.

I seriously doubt that this movie will recoup its budget.",3
"Just finished the first episode and I hope the rest of the season blows the rest of Hollywood out of the water like that episode. Could not believe what I was viewing; whole other level of top notch production, acting, and writing. You know how it feels like every once in a blue moon you stumble onto something is that next greatest performance you have been waiting for, but rarely happens..well this show happened. Wow..will be watching the rest to see if this is sopranos or the wire worthy or even rival great films like goodfellas, Casino, Johnny Brasco, or the town to name a few. Very much looking forward to find out because that first episode is that good, if not better. Will reduce stars if found to be disappointed!",6

"Journalism meets cinematic visual storytelling. Christopher Nolan's war epic Dunkirk provides audiences with a different kind of war movie experience. Different in that the narrative is nonlinear and highly experimental. From a technical perspective, the film is flawless. The cinematography, sound design, and score all work together to create an immersive experience in which that fourth wall is nearly removed. One of my friends that I saw the film with last night described it as being a fly on the wall within each timeline. With little dialog, the focus is on the various groups of the army, air force, and civilians. The stylistic film reminds me of photo/video journalism. Dunkirk demonstrates that an emotionally satisfying experience can be delivered without conventional storytelling. In many ways Norma Desmond would be proud of Nolan's film because ""(he) didn't need dialog, (he) had faces."" Dunkirk invites audiences in for a rare glimpse into the reality of war, and the reality of not only the armed forces but the civilian assistance that truly made the difference and just why this particular war story is so remarkable. Be sure to brush up on your knowledge of the events of Dunkirk before watching the film. You're definitely going to need to have a base of knowledge of the theatre before becoming the proverbial fly on the wall.

If you are approaching Dunkirk from a desire to see a Saving Private Ryan, then you may want to rethink going to see this film. With little convention in the storytelling, this film puts you on the beach, in the air, or on the sea alongside the civilians, pilots, soldiers, and officers. The focus is not on the characters, special effects, or the bloody atrocities of war, but focused on highlighting a significant event in WWII history that has largely gone unknown except for those in France and the UK. You are very much like a journalist who is capturing the imagery with your camera. It's a snapshot of war, not necessarily the story of war. War history buffs, this IS a film for you!",7
"Spider-Man far from Home has the worst acting, worst comedy and the most pathetic ending that I have ever seen in a Marvel film to date. The only thing that actually works in this movie is the action scenes that just takes you away from all the crap that Far from Home keeps putting down the audience throat its entire run in over 2 hours off psychological torture that should be abandoned from all cinemas on the planet. Listen we don't need bad movies, we don't need amateurs actors and actress that cant act and we certainly don't need directors and producers that have no passion what so ever in the movie business. I think I'm done ranting for now.",2
"Was very excited for this movie, as I am with any Scorsese film, but this was tough to get through. Pretty much lost interest in the first 1-2 hours. It's long, slow, and doesn't have much of a payoff if you have the patience to get through it. Didn't find the characters to be very interesting and the story itself doesn't warrant this kind of run time, so I can see why it didn't get a wider release outside of Netflix. The de-aging also felt pretty awkward to me. I'm convinced the people that like this movie only like it because it's Scorsese and Co. And they feel an obligation to praise their work given past films/collaborations. Overall, very disappointing.",4
Authentic... genuinely made movie.... Nagraj Manjule is a great director.... story is very straight and simple but Nagraj Manjule touch made it masterpiece ....

"It's really something different but some of it feels inspired by other films, I caught references to Fight Club, 2001 Space Odyssey, Lego Movie, and others I can't think of at the moment. But yeah, this was a special film. I don't think as many people will like it as it probably deserves. But I did love most of it. Sometimes the tones felt off at times but it's definitely recommended to see. The satire works great here and the production design, cinematography and acting (intentionally bad in a way on purpose in some spots to deliver the satire aspects) are all perfectly done here though overall. The music is a highlight here too which is sometimes hilarious and reminded me of the Lego movie in some ways. Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie are both pitch perfect here as well. Definitely recommend anyone to give it a chance. I wouldn't say this is a family movie but I think families with older kids would work perfectly for this. Not sure this will be in the Oscar race but it seems like it will at least for technical aspects and production designs.",9
"If you go see this one, I suggest you arrive early. I found the cobblestone pavement morphed to look like production company logos during the opening credits to be this movie's strongest feature. There are also some nice in-scene flashbacks. When Sherlock Holmes is sharing the results of his investigations, we actually see him snooping around in fast forward, rather than hear him talking about it. At other times, the action flashes forward in slow motion as Sherlock premeditates his martial art moves before he actually strikes in real time. Not that you haven't seen this before. In general, the movie is surprisingly uneventful for all its high-paced action. Both director Guy Ritchie and his leading man Robert Downey are trying hard to portray Sherlock Holmes as a Victorian James Bond, neglecting some of the more sombre facets of the character. Robert Downey and Rachel McAdams do make a handsome enough couple, but there's too much tinsel for their liaison to go anywhere. Jude Law, as Dr. Watson, is his usual ridiculous self.",3
"A pretty solid car racing movie. No real weak parts though perhaps a tad long for such a film. Not in the same class as 'Rush' which had such good characters and story-line.

A standout performance from Christian Bale. The backstory developments worked well.

WHY are there two titles going around for this film! Most annoying.",7
"In Captain America, Captain America (Chris Evans) is forced to go up against an old enemy that was believed to be dead and gone, a new enemy who he thought he could count on, and also deal with a part of his past that he is not ready for. The action is terrific in this film. Sure, car chases, gun battles, and secrets have all been done before, but they take the action way above all other films. The plot is not hard to follow, but that is not a bad thing. It is paced just right to go along with the character of Captain America. Sometimes films try to have too many plot twists and it just becomes confusing or doesn't make any sense at all, but this movie has a good twist to it that fits so well. Of course Samuel L. Jackson is brilliant as the elusive Nick Fury, and Scarlett Johansson is perfect as the Black Widow. New comer to the franchise, Anthony Mackie, is great as the Falcon, and Sebastian Stan is excellent as the Winter Soldier. To me, there are no bad actors in this film. The action is spectacular, the sets are great, and the story is excellent. I say give it a try, it is worth the money.",10
"As of most viewers, especially the so called Youtube followers who have seen clips uploaded by TVF online, they might think that they know what they are looking for at, but honestly the show revolves much beyond that. The actors simplicity and the tale's complexity blends and makes the perfect tonic for laugh in each episode of the series. In a total of five episodes, the show gracefully sums the perfectibility of something which has a limited spectrum and but a wide scope to prosper. Cinematography of a the show is amazing, along with the sound direction also has a promising future. The story revolves around Naveen and his three friends who leave their prosperous jobs and work together to run their struggling start-up in an exceptionally competitive market. The actors are undoubtedly funny and the plot is unpredictably palpable. A must watch show, specially for those who understand the language, other than that the show brings a positive attitude from each actor's character which its possessing.",9

"I've read the books and played the games and I can safely say writers took a huge dump on this franchise.

Prematurely killing characters from source and not bothering to develop them before doing so, I can only assume to induce some sort of shock value? All while compensating with 21st century style pop ballads from the bard, awful awful writing.

Also, the main actor Henry Cavill has now left the show and is being replaced next season by a very silly choice of actor, all because he tried to get the writers to stick to the source better and unfortunately failed. Cast WAS great, now erm, worse...

So yeah, watch at your own behest. Season 1 is probably the best-aside from aforementioned bard. If the lore is to your liking after that, then skip the other seasons and pick up the books from Blood of Elves. Sword of Destiny is good if you want to recount some of the short stories shown in Season 1, obviously told A LOT better than in the show, duh.",5
"when some one says that a movie surpasses all your expectations no matter how high they are... as a matter of fact very few movies really do it... this movie is one of them. With this movie Nolan, perhaps one of the finest directors of all time creates himself a new genre which defies all the other ones. Science fictions with dramatic stories and improvisations surrounded with intellectual aura. Some say that 4-D cant be done. This movie undoes that belief too. You can feel the aura of beauty surrounding you while watching the movie.

Nolan has improvised himself on all aspects of movie making. The seat gripping scenes, amazing dialogs and the spectacular movie telling is quite evident on the screen. The story races with an amazing speed but manages to keep you to be right on the track. The movie comes up with a rare collaboration of perfection in all aspects. DiCaprio dazzles with another award winning performance. I would really feel sorry for the Oscars if they miss the privilege to honor him this year.

People tend to compare this with a segment of classics like the matrix, star-wars. Well actually it surpasses them all. These movies are based on an IDEA. And they stop at there. A single idea and the story is segmented on that. Nolan has the impeccable capacity to pick up a dramatic story with in an idea an build a piece of art from it. Thats what distinguishes him from the herd. This movie is another such movie, though this is not exactly another movie.

Watch this movie in the theaters. You really need to kill piracy for this movie. Final verdict... 10/10",7
Hilarious man baby basement dwelling tasteless fools.,4
"An honest ""meh"". Personally, I think MARVEL was scraping the bottom of the barrel on this one. Having said that however, I never did read the comic so maybe I'm missing something..? Or maybe I'm just old and think its an updated version of a McFarlane classic. Certainly watchable if there's nothing else, but all the rave reviews?",5
"Well, i'm fighting a gushing torrent of positive opinion here, but i think this film is in no way anywhere near a masterpiece of cinema, the main reasons being that the plot is poor, the film is far too long and that it is also balanced far too far in favour of the villains.

The movie started brilliantly with an excellent bank robbery scene, and continued with aplomb until about halfway through, when the flow of the film just stalled. The plot just stopped making sense with the joker seemingly sauntering around Gotham with face paint on and obvious facial scars doing exactly what he wanted and nobody even noticing this strange man. He would stick out like a sore thumb wouldn't he? why did batman have so much trouble finding him? At about this time in the movie i really started losing interested due to the many plot flaws and inconsistencies on top of the fact that we were about 1hr 30 minutes through the film with no ending in site.

And, yes, the film is too long, and thats because the plot is too convoluted. And you couldn't cut anything out because the film would suffer even more from it. I would even imagine a lot was cut out anyway, particularly from the latter half of the film.

The joker dominates the film from start to end and you would think this is a good thing because heath ledger does a great job portraying him. But its too much of a good thing - it just unbalances the film - it makes it too dark, too downbeat. I was expecting batman to come into his own in the later half of the film to balance the darkness of the first half, but he doesn't - another villain joins instead! I just think this film is vastly overrated and nowhere near as good as the original. Batman Begins was more consistent in its portrayal of the batman universe - the current batman franchise is based on a brutal realism but Dark Knight had too many flaws that undermined this, from the unrealistic plot elements to Harvey Two-Face's ridiculously over-the-top and unbelievable cgi facial damage.

Lastly, the film has compromised itself by trying to pander to general cinema audiences. In the UK the film was given a 12a rating which means practically anyone can see it. So the blood and violence has been reduced. But the nasty tone of the film remains with many scenes of implied violence that are probably worse than actually seeing it. It is in fact a very violent film with many sadistic torture scenes that are in no way suitable for people under 15.

Having written all this, i still thought the film was OK but in no way the masterpiece everyone thinks it is. I was expecting much more and it didn't live up to the hype for me. But once everyone calms down a bit and looks at the film again in the cold light of day, i think time will judge this as an above average action movie with a good turn from the joker that really does go on a bit too long.",5
"A perfect comedy-crime thriller. Beautifully crafted dialogues and well-developed characters. The twists in the plot glued you till the end. The ending is upto the expectations. I only found Nikki a bit overdramatic however it was necessary to portray her as a dumb rich kid who has no sense of the real world. Also Naidu was bit irritating up until the very end. Monica has really played the sexy-femme fatal despite meeting her fetal end. Sukant Goel's acting was really engaging. His subtle villainy and the turns of events are greatly displayed. The movie will provide you action, drama, music, crime and comedy at the same time.

A must watch movie for all.",8
"Well this was just a very simple and obvious murder mystery which I expected really. The plot was decent and kept me intrigued throughout, however the first 20 minutes was dull and kind of made me not want to carry on watching the movie. The action scenes were actually quite good, there probably should've been more of those in the movie. The problem with this movie its very simple and predictable; probably because it's a low-budget Netflix movie, but there were not many moments were I was surprised, except for the end I guess.",6
Such a wonderful Adventrous movie I have ever seen :),5
Is it REALLY necessary that half of most episodes are so poorly lit that I feel like I have glaucoma?,3
"This is a pretty predictable TV show that's basically an adaption of Door to December by Dean Koontz, only with a lot of Stephen King / Steven Spielberg elements tossed in, especially from It, Goonies, Poltergeist, et cetera. The ""Duffer"" Brothers assumed that few people would recognize that, and they were right. The worst part is people will assume that MKUltra was something that this show created, and those of us who knew about it beforehand have to hear about it from fans of this show.",1
"Bhag Milkha Bhag – One of the best movies I ever watched. Little long - I remember my cousin saying 'At every point you realize, that there is still lot of movie left' that is true! However, the movie is truly inspiring. Milkha Singh's ordeal and his passion towards running was portrayed beautifully, you cannot resist feeling the victory, the pain and the joy. Now, that is called making a movie! Farhan Akhtar - truly a quality actor. Well it depends; I watch any movie for a message and then entertainment and quality work. People who watch movies for entertainment, I am not sure if you will like it, because it was long - 3 Hours 17 minutes, but yet I was not bored, so never know until you watch it. People, who fall in the first category, will certainly love it!

Good work BMB folks have done. But yes, I feel people need to watch it cause I walked out, inspired. Cheers! ;)",9
"Great acting, great soundtrack great first 30 mins. Sluggish last 2 hours. Shame but the acting was stellar",5
"I did enjoy the series but am surprised by the many 10's and 9's I think are very generous or affected by the anchor of so many other 10 ratings. The first half I really enjoyed, but found I finished the series just to finish it. The story when she is a young girl was excellent, but I found her young adult/adult character development rushed an unestablished. She gets drunk, dances to Shocking Blue and wears out there eye liner for about 3 minutes.... I will say though, that not since Amelie have I been so captivated by such a beautiful woman! So unique looking, with widely spaced eyes, but absolutely gorgeous in a Jacqueline Kennedy way....",7
Yeah I admit MCU made so good films like Iron Man (2008) but this film is not good. It's boring like I'm starting to watch BatMan v SuperMan (2016) and it's better (not a DC fanboy) so what it's a bit longer at least BatMan appear way sooner than Spider-Man in the film. Just cause it's label 'MCU' It doesn't mean it's going to be good. I hate when in films they talk very softly some of the time like I see Hulk (2003) talk louder than that. At least we get to see Spider- Man in the film even though HE'S IN TWO SCENES INCLUDING THE POST CREDIT!! At least Tom Holland is better than Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man.,4
"A huge fan of horror movies in general, since I was a kid, I've pretty much seen them all-from The Omen to the Shining, to George C Scott in the Changling, The Conjuring, etc. Annabelle: Creation was ridiculously disappointing. I will never understand why the writers think their audiences are such simpletons when it comes to horror. The story is so lame the movie is hard to watch. Sure, it has you scream or jump a few times, but for the most part the goriness seems misplaced and overdone to the absurd. As a horror junkie, the story is pretty awful. However, as a comedy it's not half bad.",3
"This movie to me, is even better than the first Godfather movie. It has more heart ache, and even though these men aren't the most admirable, you still feel admiration and pain for them. When they are betrayed, you feel betrayed. I love how this movie makes you feel, and makes you want to be a part of their family. This is an amazing movie, one of the best ever made, a must see!",10
"I watched the movie because of one actor "" The Ajay Devgan"" & not disappointed at all..It's bang on target..it might not have masala movie ingredients but it was not needed at all for such intense subject. The movie is well directed by Ghanchakkar Rajkumar Gupta. Well done Rajkumar..These movie has very good cast & Everybody is performed upto the mark to their characters.. There is no doubt Saurabh Shukla has overpowered Ajay in the movie & there is no word to describe the performance of old lady who played mother of Saurabhji..

Really interesting movie..if you are fan of good movies..Go & Watch it..don't read the reviews of newspaper who has given less than 2 star .. experience it yourself..",9
"I went to the cinema to watch this thinking 'might be alright' but no..no it wasn't. Normal people (not the comic obsessed people who like myths and legends) will look at this film thinking 'well I like films such as Transformers and Lord of the Rings, so I should like this??'. Sadly you'll be wrong!

It starts off a bit far-fetched but still bearable till half way through the film. Then it becomes so stupid its not worth trying to follow as it became far too confusing. The last 30 minutes was unbearable as the ending was dragged out. I heard people snoring behind me and I could not blame them!

The only plus point about the film was that Natalie Portman fans will like this as her character was believable compared to the rest of them and she performed well. Anthony Hopkins needs to get a better agent though and read the script beforehand as his acting ability is so much better than this type of film!

All in all don't watch this, only morons who live in fairy tales would find this remotely appealing!",2
This movie is so BORING after an hour of watching this movie you found out You just wasted your time,2
"Good Omens was my absolute favourite book when I was a child. I read my copy so many times, it literally fell apart. Then I got it signed by Terry Pratchett himself. I was so excited by the release of the TV adaptation, approaching it with some trepidation in case it didn't do the book justice. I need not have worried as it (season 1) was a triumph. A total joy from beginning to end.

Words can't really describe how disappointed I am with season 2. When I heard there was a second season I was confused. There is no second book so what would it be about? Well the answer seems to be... nothing much. I've just sat through the painfully tedious episode 5, and the plot, if you can call it that, is not much further advanced than it was at the start. I'm still not sure why I'm supposed to care about the love lives of the two lesbian shopkeepers, and I don't.

Good Omens was supposed to be a wry comedy about the unlikely friendship between an angel and a daemon, a witty commentary about how adversaries at the rank and file level actually have more in common with each other than they do with their superiors, and how they cooperate to make each other's lives easier. It wasn't supposed to be a romantic relationship and I never read it that way in the book. So I'm very dismayed to see the direction Gaiman has taken in season 2. If I wanted a run of the mill romantic comedy I would have watched one, there are countless options out there that are far more entertaining than this turgid sequel to a truly brilliant show.

Now I admit I haven't watched the season 2 finale yet, but based on other reviews and what I've seen so far, I'm not sure I want to. After loving the book so much and watching series 1 twice, that's a disappointment so crushing, it actually hurts.

If I could rate the seasons separately, I'd rate season 1 (the only one that should exist) at 9/10, and season 2 at 2/10.",6
"Well written story with intriguing screenplay took this movie to Next level

"Annabelle comes home was a wonderful addition to the franchise. loads of jump scares, eerie music and just amazing to watch at night. make sure you're not alone though(!)",7
"As the title states there is probably an episode for everyone when it comes to black mirror. It's an anthology so you can watch each episode out of order, however make sure you watch 'black museum' last if you decide to opt for picking and choosing the episodes you like. The story lines are often clever and thought provoking and often come with a twist that you wouldn't have guessed prior to finishing the episode which is rare to find in modern TV. I'm my opinion some of the best episodes include: San Junipero (a fun story set in the 80s) White bear (a story to get you thinking) Shut up and dance (the dangers of computer hacking) National anthem (probably the most famous episode involving the PM and a pig) Hang the DJ (a romance story in which an app tells you how long you will be with a romantic partner)",9
"We were always going to watch Wonder Woman, but figured we'd catch it when it came out on Blu-Ray. After the commercials claiming ""certified fresh"" from Rotten Tomatoes"" i decided to take the wife to see if for her Birthday! As soon as it ended, the wife turned to me and asked, as she always does, what did you think? I didn't even hesitate, and responded, ""IT SUCKED!"" From the story line to the acting, it didn't satisfy at any level! Not for me, not for the wife. This movie is such a disappointment.",4
"Well, To be honest...I don't often write reviews..but this movie forced me to do so. Apart from all the controversies like 'TOXIC HYPER-NATIONALISM' and all such rubbish statements by some of the selective foolish media houses, 'URI-THE SURGICAL STRIKE' differs itself from all these and became the best War-military movie of India.

Debutant Director Aditya Dhar nailed it with his classy and edgy direction. Cinematography is top-notch, Background Score, Visual effects everything looks even better than some of the Hollywood war movies.

And about Acting, Vicky Kaushal again proved that He is the next Big thing in Bollywood. Yami Gautam, Kirti kulhari and Paresh Rawal played their individual roles decently.

Overall, Good Bye Black Hawk Down, Zero dark thirty ...we've got our own 'URI'.",10
The first season is about the tapes and the suicide of hannah baker. But the second season should have come to an end. But makers want to take their chances where they are totally failed. One thing they kept up is the music . The most important part of both the seasons is their original soul taking music. My score is based on that part mostly.,8
This movie is not worth see cause the review doesn't make no sense a the bill boards ads scares me.,1
"I am so trying to like this mess but it tries too hard....

Lots of overacting, lots of subplots.... Kevin Bacon is ridiculous and not in a good way....everybody seems like they are in a bad adaptation of a bad, off Broadway David Manet play....and scenery is chewed, swallowed, and digested fully..

I'll watch because there's nothing else I want to see right now without subtitles and need something boring in the background to drone on.....and on... and on....",7

"The fact that this movie is rated 8.9 out of 10 and Chicago is 7.2 and Moulin Rouge is 7.6 is literally beyond me. Although I like Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling as actors, they really should not be casted for musicals. Neither of them can dance or sing properly no matter how much they tried, and I bet they did. I wonder if anyone here giving this movie a 8 or a 9 has watched Chicago or Moulin Rouge. Both had incredible Cinematography, plots AND had lead actors who could sing/dance the hell out of their movies. And now here come Ryan and Emma who are mediocre at best at this musical. I'm kind of disappointing at their casting as lead roles because I think that with different lead actors (two who can actually sing and dance) this movie would've been breathtaking. On another note, it was a charming film with beautiful cinematography and a pleasant vibe. I did not mind the blurs, as someone mentioned, or thought there were plot holes. I would recommend it to other but only to realise that Emma and Ryan should've not been cast.",5
"Its the 80s, a boy goes missing, and the police chief and friends must find him.

The acting is good not great, David Harbours acting is top notch, the story is good, the special effects are good, the horror is good. Show is definitely pg13+ and isn't for kids to watch, there is alot of sex implied, foul language, the kids talk like how they normally would when there are no parents around.

Season 1 is 9/10, its great. Alot of people don't like Winona Ryder's character, but Ive seen people in real life just like her, so its believable.

Season 2 is a 9/10, has an infamous episode 7 that is out of place.

Season 3 is a 9/10, has a cool 80s mall in it.

I look forward to season 4.",9
I fell asleep half way through 😂 Plot was super scattered,1
"First of all... The best thing in this serie is the acting of Oscar Isaac. He is a brilliant actor. He showed his best acting on Steven and Marc. That was same for the other actors. I am very excited for the next season. But when i am watching i had so much questions about it because something was incomplete. I didn't understand so much thing about story at the first episodes. Then I started to understand because they couldn't told story so well when it started. So shortly, the story was perfect, but how they told the story was not so well at the beginning. But i still like Moon Knight. I wanna watch one more time.",5
"I almost never review a movie here, and I'm not gonna go in deep into this one either. But I seldom find the ratings here so incredible different from what I would give them myself. Maybe 2 whole points max. This is rated 7.6 and for me it was a weak 4! The main character did good, thats about it, everything else sucked..major! I almost surprised myself watching the whole film, but I guess I was hoping it would suddenly be ok...but no. Total waste of time! Really..is this almost upp there with Shawshank, Gladiator, Seven, Godfather, Silence of the lambs.etc etc?! Cheeesus",4
"I love Zukos's character development and Sooka's too.

Aang was a annoying at times but still he was brave. Katara was a bad ass in the first two seasons but then idk she went downwards.

I AM FASCINATED BY ZUKO AND MAI TOGETHER!!

Ty Lee and Azula are just soooo hot!!! Ahahah

The ending was ok ig. I loved Uncle Iroh's relationship with ZUKO.",8
"I was expecting a lot more given the high ratings so far. When you know faces can be copied, you can pretty much predict every trick they try to surprise you. When you know Ethan will never die and will get the mission done anyway, you can be hardly involved in the danger and tension no matter how hard they try. So you pretty much know the ending and just sit there watching tedious car chasing and naive dialogues. The story writing could be much better.",6
I can not imagine how HBO agree on this bad series. I am really disappointed and frustrated,2

I love this show but I cannot stand the Mac character so it's always going to get lower points while whinging and whining Mac is on the show.,1

"Whoever wrote the scene about the girl killing the elk, which becomes a whitetail deer once it's lain on the table in the cabin, wherein they begin to gut (field dress) it..... y'all need to write in accuracy and authenticity. Unless you are a city boy, you field dress, ah um, in the field. It makes the body lighter, for one thing, and the woods critters dispose of the offal so you won't have to when you get home. And you don't kill a cow elk and have it miraculously become a whitetail doe once it's on the butcher block at home. Idiots. Another reason to quit watching tv.",1
"If all you need is soft-porn titillation with almost zero actual story, then this film is for you. If, however, you enjoy the spy genre in general and hope for intriguing story-lines, it is probably best you steer clear of this one. Laughable script, miserable acting (the high-calibre actors here all look as though they're just trying to get through their lines as plainly as possible and get back to their trailer - I kept wondering if they'd even read the script before they signed on!) Just unbearable considering what a wealth of brilliant and OK spy films there are out there in the world. Ugh. Not sure anyone proof-read this abomination before it went into production.",1
"I read the reviews before seeing this movie and believed that I was about to enjoy another great Carrey movie. I don't know how anyone can honestly say they thought it was great.

The camera constantly shook, making it difficult to watch without getting sick to my stomach. It reminded me of the Blair Witch Project - which at least was interesting aside from the camera shaking.

I understood the premise of erasing memories and Joel's desire to hold onto the memories after committing to have them erased. But why all of the pointless, disjointed scenes?

Unfortunately, I stuck it out and watched to the end, but was upset at myself for staying. My husband didn't understand it and was smart enough to fall asleep during most of it. I left with a very sick headache and again, I was upset that I was so stupid to sit through it. This is the worst movie I've ever watched.

I agree with the other viewers who were really disappointed in this film. This highly rated movie was horrible. Please Jim Carrey don't do another Kaufman film.",1
"It didn't touch me. Not a good war film, I think. CGI is too polished as if it is a video game. Several details in a story line are too unreal as if they were put there just for an additional effect.",4
"Good story and acting by all the actors. The character of SK is my favourite and this series is worth watching,",8
"If just for the comedy in this film it rates an 8 IMO. This has a new twist story line; great action; new science; and more laughs than I could count. The humor is fast and always coming until the very end. It's also intelligent because it makes you think about the science and the possibility of peace. In fact, the only reason I didn't give it a 10 is because it seems that all movies today need to blast your eardrums out to get people into the theaters. Hopefully, they'll learn that when you get these movies to your standard home theaters, there's a problem balancing volume for dialog and action.

I thought it was a great sequel and can't imagine what the people who have been cutting it down here on IMDb were talking about. Thank goodness I didn't just read these but listened to people that saw it here.

Go see it - if you liked the first you won't be disappointed. I promise.",8
"Yes, I was one of the idiots who rated the show after just 2 episodes! Out of context, those 2 episodes weren't that great, a fault on behalf of Disney for the release schedule I feel. Alas, the show goes from strength to strength and ends brilliantly. Great FX and great story, and kudos for trying something different which, in context (you should binge) is brilliant! One other thing, watch the after credit clips (yes, like in the movies and yes, the credits are far too long)

Can't wait for Falcon/WS and Loki now!",8
"Loki 👎 It seems Disney internationally made Loki so they can kick him out of MCU or replace Tom.

Except visual nothing is worth watching. Dialogue sucks.

Wasted an interesting plot with terrible screenplay and poor character development.

LOKI's Loki have no personalities(mischievous,rebellious, suspicious,chaotic,cunning,stubborn) that defines him. Actually they really tried hard to show his personalities but it fell flat especially his humor.

Worst of MCU.

Comparing Thor's Loki, LOKI's Loki is indian version of superman(puneet)

It seems MCU decided to keep a low key On Loki's personalities as he lost everything he loved dear and his life to bring out out his good sides and emotions that he buried inside but it didn't work at all. Instead of showing some character development they just jumped right into it and failed miserably.

And seriously the God of mischief, rightful heir of Jotunheim who lead an army of Chitauri couldn't fight few TVA's variants? Pathetic show.",2
"Ok...so as someone who is very familiar with the games and books...I had high hopes for the show. That being said...I thought that for the most part the show was entertaining. I thought that Henry Cavill was awesome! I also thought Anya Chalotra did a decent job as Yen, and was just as beautiful as she should be. I did have a serious issue with a lot of the other casting that appeared to have been done for the sake of diversity when there was no need to diversify said characters. How do you take a character like Triss, who is very specifically described in the books and the games...and for the sake of what? make her look 100% different because why? Did the show creators decide that for the sake of diversity....let's misappropriate an entire region for the sake of pleasing the 3 people that would have complained about the show lacking cultural diversity? Makes no sense! I also took serious issue with the way the way the stories were told...the back and forth sometimes got very confusing and I lost track for a while of what was going on. All in all...not too bad...but let's hope the creators see some of the feedback and make some effective changes for season 2!",6
Bollywood should release more than 10 movies like this. Its a new level movie. And no songs is the best.,10
"The pilot is supposed to be their best shot. And this was it? Cringeworthy. Not funny. Not suspenseful. If you insist on watching, suggest you go to your local MJ dispensary and load up because you are going to need it in order to find this crap remotely entertaining.",2
"If it weren't for the obviously substitution of original characters for diversity sake this show would be a ten out of ten. The author of the books is Polish and based his fantasy novels on Polish medieval mythology. Therefore, the books, and the video games based upon them, featured the humans as white Northern Europeans. Hollywood's edict of adhering to affirmative action--once reserved for only government institutions--to be eligible to win awards forces producers to hire people of color for roles not originally meant for them. If you are familiar with the source material then every time you see characters like Frangilla or Triss (to name a few...trust me) the immersion is immediately broken. You can't help but say ""Yea the actress is acting the part well but LOOKS absolutely nothing like how the author described her in the books or how she appeared in the video games."" I am sorry there are no popular African medieval fantasy movies based on novels for people of African descent to act in. However, that doesn't mean they deserve to be shoehorned into existing stories where they never existed and don't belong.",8
"Easily the worst of the Marvel Universe. The entire movie could have been the last 5 minutes of the first Ant-Man. Paul Rudd felt awkward throughout, and Michael Douglas proves he's not all that great an actor.

Saw this on the new ScreenX in Kansas City which was very underwhelming and not worth the extra $8.",2
A must watch for everybody. The backstory of the godfather... cant decided if part 1 or 2 is better... both beyond amazing!!,10
"I've only watched the first season, I'm sure I won't be watching the second. It started out interesting, cinematography is the best and only thing I was able to enjoy from the show. I like the kind of misfit-group-with-special-powers kind of theme, so I was interested. The writing was abismal, one of the worst I've had the disgust to experience in a long time. It's a predictable eye rolling fest of cliches and stupidity. The dialogs are absurd and made me totally hate most of the main characters. The ridiculously stupid, boring, childish, uninteresting, nonsensical, unlikable and stupid (yes, again) characters of the series made the show an absolute pain to watch, to the exception of Klaus (which I remember from Misfits 2009), Number 5 and Hazel, between a couple more second characters. Special mention to Luther, Diego and Allison characters on how annoying and stupid they were the whole season. Terrible. Acting wise, Luther and Diego were the worst. The action sequences go from having some interesting moments at the beginning of the show, to ridiculous and unrealistic (based in the fiction set by the actual show). Nothing makes sense, no one makes sense. You'll say ""why the hell you watched it?!"". Honestly, I was hoping that it would get better. Around the 4th episode I started disliking it, by the 6th I was in pain, but I really wanted to see the ending. I was curious. Is this a good aspect of the show? I don't know, but I think it was an absolute waste of potential. I don't know the original material, but this is just pure mediocrity that looks pretty.",3
"Pros: + Star performances by everyone in the cast + Injections of humour + Good pacing

Cons:
Plot was too easy to guess at times
A few minor plot holes
Nothing new, especially compared to True Detective, Sharp Objects or Fargo which did something original.",8
"A great story with an impressive 'who done it' theme, sadly destroyed by poor direction & production. Saying that, you should watch it as even though some scenes drag through & there is some poor casting, there's enough clues for a good movie buff to be the detective and work it out. Plus Christopher Plummer's shirt appearance was very good.

The English do it better.",5
"To put it mildly, director Rian Johnson's experience behind the camera last time around was a highly interesting and career defining one.

Charged with taking over the new Star Wars saga in the form of the hotly debated The Last Jedi, Johnson found himself victim of countless online trolls, critics and universe obsessed fanboys, as his franchise turning feature found itself scrutinized like very few films do.

With its issues, The Last Jedi was still a film with some great moments and interesting ideas and the man who gave us Brick and Looper has always been a fine filmmaker with runs on the board, so it's great to see the keen aficionado of mystery and whodunits deliver an enjoyable and fun romp without any pre-conceived constraints holding him back.

Knives Out is the type of mystery film of old, filled with a rag-tag collection of characters and possible suspects as Johnson builds off the foundation of authors such as Agatha Christie and filmmakers like Alfred Hitchcock, to concoct an extremely well-written and acted film that is sure to insight much fandom moving forward.

It's not a film of much lasting substance, despite some already looking to deep into its underlying political themes born out of the Trump era, but Johnson and his cast are just having an old-fashioned good time here as Daniel Craig's ""KFC"" southern detective Benoit Blanc and Ana de Armas's (Brazilian, Ecuadorian or other various countries of origin) nurse Marta Cabrera team up to uncover the mystery of author Harlan Thromby's untimely demise.

With Craig on top form here and going the whole nine yards and de Armas continuing to prove to us all she could well be the ""next big thing"", Knives Out is a joy to watch whenever they get too command the screen and surrounded by one of 2019's best ensembles, that is highlighted by an against type Chris Evans going to the dark side with his loathsome Ransom Drysdale and Michael Shannon dialing it back as Thromby's son Walt, Knives Out is always watchable.

It's a shame Johnson included one too many characters into his film though, as not all of the supports feel that needful to the story, particularly Jaeden Martell's teenage internet troll (regardless of what Johnson intended, this feels like a character getting a say at the Star Wars keyboard warriors) and Katherine Langford's granddaughter Meg, these type of characters feel like mere wallpaper in a film that shines best when focusing on its best components which remains throughout de Armas and the usually gruff Craig.

The other slightly disappointing aspect to this murder mystery is the fact that its final pay-off doesn't exactly come off as much of a surprise and at over two hours, it would've been nice to have felt more rewarded with a genuinely mind-blowing reveal, but they're high expectations born from a film with a great premise and some lovingly staged ideas.

Final Say -

A fun statement from a director who seemingly had the world against him with his last film, Knives Out is a well-played whodunit and while the film doesn't quite stick the landing, there's much to enjoy leading up to it thanks to some great central turns and whip smart script work.

"Kannada cinema might be known across India due to the Yash & Prashant Neel-led KGF franchise but in terms of pure content-driven high-concept film-making, the trio of Rakshit Shetty, Raj B Shetty, and Rishab Shetty are the true forces to be reckoned with. And now, after having already captured our imaginations with ""Kirik Party (2016)"" and ""Avane Srimannarayana (2019)"", in ""777 Charlie"", an adventure drama about the love between a man and his furry best friend, Rakshit Shetty has rendered another masterpiece in emotive, heartfelt filmmaking.

The movie tells us the story of Dharma (Rakshit Shetty), a compulsive loner and misanthrope who seems to be spiraling down a path of self-destruction. Into his life comes Charlie the loveable runaway labrador dog and how their initially fractious relationship turns into an endearing lifelong bond forms the rest of the story. Rakshit Shetty is absolutely terrific as the morose, deeply damaged Dharma and steals your heart in the second half, especially in the emotionally charged scenes with his subtle performance.

It is hard to imagine anybody not falling for the cuteness of Charlie the dog at first sight. The loveable white labrador is the heart and soul of the film and the trainers deserve all the praise in the world for how they make sure she immaculately performed in line with the narrative. Nobin Paul's music is uplifting and emotional in equal measure, supercharging an already gut-wrenching story. How man's best friend can take over one's whole world to fill the emptiness in our hearts is portrayed with conviction and a lot of soul by the makers.

Director Kiranraj K and writers Raj B Shetty and Abhijit Mahesh are careful to avoid all the run-of-the-mill tropes usually associated with movies about pet love, going down radically different routes whenever you feel like the movie is becoming predictable. It is inexplicable how actor-writer-director Raj B Shetty is able to shift gears from the gory and violent ""Garuda Gamana Vrishabha Vahana (2021)"" to writing this soulful adventure drama and also play a quirky, delightfully comic character in the same.

After the soul-stirring ""Thangam"" short in ""Paava Kadhaigal"" (2020) and the Oscar-winning ""CODA (2021)"", ""777 Charlie"" is the only movie that had me reaching for the tissues in recent memory, such is the beautiful relationship between Dharma and Charlie. This is one movie to be experienced and not analyzed so I will stop myself here. Go watch it in theatres and I promise there won't be a dry eye in the hall. Highly, highly recommended!",8
"I have seen a lot of horror movies and many of them are full of jumpscares and boredom without any actual story.

Talk to Me is a nicely executed horror movie which rather than relying on jumpscares, has a proper story which is both indulging and grasps you from the start till the end. The story felt fresh, the screenplay was good with proper execution, the direction was good and the performances were also good. The whole story was nicely covered in given runtime with nice suspense and an unexpected climax.

Overall, I would recommend you to give this horror flick a try. You will enjoy watching it.",8
"For all the praise 'The Queen's Gambit' received for its authentic 60s sets and costumes, the usual Hollywood's sloppiness towards all things Russian really shows. The raggedy homeless-looking old men playing chess in the center of Moscow, an 'ushanka'-clad child-runner at a major international sporting event yelling out 'she played G6!', the bad lettering everywhere, the played-up Russian accent, the ever-present somberness in everything - it's Russia, we get it, thank you. But the boy waiter carting around an assortment of booze offering vodka to the patrons of an upscale restaurant at one of the most exclusive hotels in Moscow... That's just plain offensive.",1
"Fargo is one of the best films of the 90's. For me, one of the top three of the decade. Most of the actors in the movie gave the best performances of their careers here (including Buscemi and Macy) and the Coen brothers, who could have their place in history just

with Raising Arizona (surprisingly not in the IMDB top 250 at the time of this writing) have here their best film ever.

I do not recommend this movie to everyone though, because most people won't get the absurdity of some situations, the very noir comedy or the violence. What I loved about this film is how absurd and unpredictable it gets as the story progresses. It all escalates to a messy, violent climax, that somehow is damn funny.

Whoever gave The English Patient awards for best film of 1996 instead of this one is an idiot. I can understand why not everyone liked this film, but still, it was the best that year.",10
"Ludo by default is the best movie of 2020. Before i go on with the review, I would say i am appalled by people giving it 1/10 review and saying it is Hinduphobic I mean common there is zero reference to any scene. Probably facists see everything from your myopic view. Get a life. Coming to the movie the story is about 4 different stories of different people coming together. Initial 30 minutes might be confusing for some people but once you go beyond that you will see the storytelling power of Anurag Basu. I have never been his fan but this stands out. The actors have done a fabulous job, cinematography is exceptional and kudos to the editor who has meaningfully edited such a complex narrative. Watch it to feel the experience. Will also look for other reviews who would elaborate on what they found so offensive.",10
"Good script, good interpretation, engaging action scenes. Indispensable movie. Mandatory to be assisted.",8
"First I thought maybe 14 year olds but then there is so much swearing and crude sex comments (I got an STI sing). So then I thought maybe adult but it's so hoky! Broadway musical bits are boring and nonsensical. Bugs bunny is really a terrible addition to the script.

Could have had potential after episode 1 but went off the cliff.

I love Selena but she is so monotone it is distracting like another commenter stated.

Overall plot ends up boring and predictable.

Skip it!",2
"Just watched movie.i got engaged with film...best work from nagraj, emotional, drama, thriller grate combination......... Ankush and whole cast of movie act really superb.",10
"The movie is boring, the storyline is very slow and the action scenes in general were not wow, it was great how each character was used in the main fight never the less, put the main fight aside, the rest is about Captain America and his best Bro! I was hoping to see more about the other characters and less about Bucky.

and honestly.. the reason why all this happened... is really really really stupid .. they tried to link it with other movies, but they failed badly.

on the other hand, one positive thing they did is that they kept Iron Man image and they managed to show both views equally without affecting viewers views.

Spoiler: the movie is different that the comics.. a lot

I was really hoping to see a better movie.",1
"GLASS ONION delivered pretty much exactly what I expected--a ""White Lotus-esque"" satire of clueless rich people in a gorgeous locale that involves a murder mystery. I love Daniel Craig's ""Benoit Blanc"" and it's obvious that he enjoys the heck out of playing the character, although I notice he toned the accent down quite a bit in this go around.

I preferred the mystery elements in the original KNIVES OUT and I think that movie also has stronger performances overall. For example, GLASS ONIOIN has Leslie Odom Jr., but not only is he barely recognizable, Rian Johnson barely gave him enough to do, which is disappointing. But in terms of set design, costuming, overall direction and the sharpness of the satire, GLASS ONION is definitely better. And you don't have to trek out to a theater to see it, although the big screen would probably amplify the set design more. I enjoyed it!",8
"Loved the first film, it had a simplicity of setting but combined with a complex Cluedo like plotting. The characters were caricatures but still believable. This follow up obviously had a huge budget and what could have been a clever plot apart from the fact the director and producers felt the need to spend their inflated budget on the wrong things - overblown theatrics, cgi explosions, and totally unnecessary exotic, expensive settings. This made the whole thing come across as hugely farcical but without the fundamental pillars behind a good farce i.e. It still has to be believable and it still has to be funny. This film toppled both these pillars about half way through, which is why I only gave it 5 out of 10. I so wanted it to be good, yet it left me very disappointed.",5
"This film could have been simply brilliant. Unfortunately it failed badly. Some historical inaccuracies would be okay for drama and entertainment, but this movie rewrites history in a way that is simply unforgivable.

What's even worse, the motoring scenes are lazy and worse written and executed than the Fast & Furious movies. You don't need to be all about facts, but please, don't think of the audience as complete idiots when it comes to driving race cars fast. Also, what's with the cheap looking CGI and sped up driving clips in a movie of this caliber?

Such a greatly missed opportunity. The story would have been great without all the extra drama added, and the great actors and their great performances were shot down with second grade technical performance in the movie.",5

"After 6 episodes, I lost any hope. This show is just not going anywhere nor is getting any better. The plot is boring. It feels more like Downtown Abbey in a fantasy setting/world rather than GOT, but without the likeable and interesting characters. And this is the even bigger issue: the uninteresting flat characters that come and go (die) without giving us the chance to get attached or care whatsoever about any of them. We don't care about birth or death because there is simply no build-up to any of them. And last but not least, the dragons (Title character!!!!) are just a filler, beeing there only because they have to. They take no real part in the story, they have no part in the plot, they are the same as any other ""character"": no personality, we just don't care about them. In GOT I almost cried when one the dragons was hurt and was in shock when it was brought down from the sky. If a dragon dies in HOTD, I couldn't care les... Overall, very poor effort...",6
"Somehow because of all the big names associated with this movie, the critics have been swooning, but I just don't get it. Repetitive dialogue, much too long, no redeeming characters, nothing new in the plot, Robert De Niro's character is so passive he is the least interesting character in the movie and he is the star. Glad I'm seeing it on Netflix instead of wasting actual movie on it at a theater. As it was, we split watching it in 2 nights because it didn't hold our interest enough to finish it.",3
"No proper story, no proper logic, and no fact checks done on the location being presented in the movie whatsoever. Just putting in Chris hemsworth and Randeep huda and having some one-two man action against 100's in a John wick style shooting frenzy doesnt make this worth a watch, atleast not for people who want a good action flick with decent drama and logic.",1
"Kind of a big disappointment for me, though it's certainly a pretty good movie. Affleck's direction is excellent, it's beautifully shot and it feels like a really good film, but, honestly, I think the story is kind of thin and never very interesting. You can tell that the screenwriter had to add dozens of moments of fake tension to the real story to make it filmable. None of the characters really pop out as interesting people, and it'd be a shame if someone like Alan Arkin was nominated for an Oscar just for getting a couple of chuckles. Affleck himself probably gives the best performance in the film, but it's of a blank kind of person, a CIA spy who is meant to be that way. The movie's perfectly entertaining to watch, but it evaporates immediately. It'll certainly be the kind of movie the Oscars go for, but, I'm calling it right now, no way it wins Best Picture (it might very well, however, win the Best Adapted Screenplay award, though it's totally undeserving of even that).",7
To start of its not the worst movie I seen. It has some good stuff but the story did feel very rushed. It seemed that Sony was just looking for a quick cash grab. Who ever wrote this should be ashamed and Sony needs to stop making the comic book movies asap. I will not buy this movie when it comes out on. Seeing it once is enough.,5
Very disappointed that the show is only 22-24 minutes long with over 6 minutes of end credits. Seriously this show is an overrated joke.,3
"Supremely entertaining, with its slew of off-the-wall characters, it didn't tie up all the loose strands that needed tethering and if it were not for that, it could have easily landed among top movies of the year.

Vasan Bala is a master of quirk. His last, Mard ko Dard nahin hota, was a masterly exposition, with tribute flowing freely to the erstwhile retro hits. He has done the same here, also.

The racy songs, the background score and the pulpy dialogues kept me amused.

Rajkumar Rao chalks out another winning act. Kher and Qureshi put in notable supporting performances.

Easily one of the better original films streaming across any OTT. Go in blind, without reading too much about it. You are sure to be left giddy after some of its scenes. The conclusion might be slightly off, but your senses would be thoroughly satisfied.",7
"An excellent cast can't quite take this up to the league it aspires to; for a mob movie, it's more on the intimate rather than epic end of the genre. It tells the story of a couple who seem to be in over their heads in trying to establish themselves in a New York that's experiencing it's most violent year on record and that's in the grip of mob interests. The problem is that the film can't quite decide which side of the story to give most airtime to - the mob business or the story of a couple under pressure, struggling to prove themselves and stay alive. The latter seems more interesting to me - the superb Jessica Chastain seems more decisive and competent than her onscreen husband who can probably sense that truth at an instinctive level, hence not allowing her to step into the leadership role she could and should be in. Only once in the film (when a dying animal is put out of its misery) does she take the bull by the horns, and then it's a shock to him - one which angers him. But this story is given less room to breathe, pulsing below the surface, pulsing below the surface and occasionally being allowed up for air. It's gripping, and the film ends on an intriguing note - but there's the sense that we could and should have had more of the dynamics of the couple at the heart of this film that would have elevated the film to greater heights.",7
"House of the Dragon is capable matching the technical quality of Game of Thrones. But sadly, it is not capable of providing the excitement which was there while watching GOT.

The first episode looked promising. But the show didn't get any better. The casting went so wrong. Neither the characters, nor the actors are likeable. They don't have the charm like the cast of GOT. Remember how we felt when Bran was pushed out the window and the credits started rolling in the very first episode of GOT? That feeling is missing from this. And the sudden jumps in time disrupts the flow of the story.

There's no one to root for. I hope it gets better.",3
"Of all the blockbuster franchises you'll ever watch in life, ""John Wick"" is the one most likely to stretch out your suspension of disbelief to epic new proportions! Not only we're meant to accept that our titular hero miraculously remains unharmed while he annihilates hundreds of insignificant opponents, but we are also supposed to believe that half of New York City is a professional killer, and that the most powerful criminal organization of the world uses Commodore-64 monitors to spread messages.

I don't want to sound too much like an old and whiny sourpuss, but this franchise is collapsing like a fragile house of cards with each new entry. The little gimmicks and curiosities that still made the original intriguing (the coins, the Continental, Wick's network and language skills) have either led nowhere or turned out disappointingly. And I concur with some of the other reviewers around here who stated that director Chad Stahelski hasn't made any profession progress whatsoever since the first film. Quite the contrary, in fact, the fighting sequences only get longer & duller, and Stahelski doesn't seem to realize (or refuses to) that the viewer wants more plot and less karate kicks.

Chapter two ended with a reasonably promising cliffhanger. After shooting a member of the High Table in the face, moreover in the forbidden zone of the Continental Hotel, Wick is declared ""excommunicado"". Basically, this means everyone is allowed to kill him, and there's a price tag of $14,000,000 on his head. The premise leads to an entertaining first half hour, with creative and well-choreographed action sequences taking place in a library, a horses' stable, a weapons museum, and on motorcycles. After that, ""Parabellum"" becomes really preposterous and repetitive. Wick escapes to Casablanca, becomes involved in yet another vendetta over a dead dog, and discovers that one of the most influential members of the High Table lives like a hermit in the desert. Yeah, sure. Part three ends with a fall from such a massive height that even John Wick himself couldn't possibly survive... Right?",4
"A smart movie from start to finish that earns it's spot as another great entry in the Knives Out series. The characters weren't as memorable as in the original but the mystery is fresh and new! I was impressed to see how unique the murder mystery was this time around when comparing it to the first movie. It's hard enough to make a compelling murder mystery once but doing it twice is an impressive feat. Rian Johnson has proven again that he is a fanatic writer and director. Every scene has a purpose and nothing feels wasted. I highly recommend this film, especially if you are a fan on the original movie!",7
"KUNG FU HUSTLE may leave you feeling a little ripped off.

Well, it's been about a week since attending a special press screening for KUNG FU HUSTLE, and unfortunately I still feel as if I've been ripped off. Maybe I just expected too much from this movie due to all of the talent that was involved, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes.

This may explain why rather than feeling totally satisfied in seeing an entertaining spoof on classic Hong Kong cinema with a 2005 twist, I have nothing but questions.

If this is supposed to be a comedy, then why am I not laughing that much?

Is it be possible that most of the witty dialogue was lost in translation from it's original language to subtitles?

Did KUNG FU HUSTLE fall victim to additional editing by Sony Pictures Entertainment, so that they could cram more showings of this film into their affiliated multiplexes?

If so, could this be the reason why Sony changed the title from Gong Fu (it's original 2004 name) to KUNG FU HUSTLE?

I have so many more questions, am I just being a bit too critical?

Perhaps I am just being too critical. Basically, KUNG FU HUSTLE is the simple story of a small time thief named Sing (played by Stephen Chow) who believes that becoming a member of a ruthless ax wielding gang will finally give him happiness. Of course, this is not the lesson that you should to walk away with, so our once good guy turned bad must defeat his past and present demons and become a good guy once again.

Visually this movie is quite entertaining even though at times the computer generation seems to slightly take away from the fight choreography of Yuen Wo Ping (Kill Bill, The Matrix, Crouching Tiger), and Sammo Hung (The Medallion, Knock Off, Double Team). However, Dragon Ball Z fans will definitely get a kick (no pun intended) out of the final battle between Sing and The Beast (played by Leung Siu Lung).

One thing for sure, this movie is now sending me on a quest to learn Cantonese and find it's original 2004 version (Gong Fu) to see if there was any additional character development that may have been excluded from this release.

So look forward to a follow up review in the near future :-)

Favorite Super Power: Landlady's Lion Roar",5
"I'm thinking of the best way to summarize this movie. Imagine watching a Deadpool movie, without Deadpool, it's PG13 and about 20 minutes have clearly been edited out. Also, take all the background music and editing techniques from a 90s, live-action Batman movie, include all the action and CGI in the trailers (because you've already seen it all) and you get this movie. It mostly feels like a mash of Hollywood tropes older audiences have seen countless times.

With that said, what carries this movie are the characters. It's so entertaining watching the relationship between Eddie and Venom grow throughout these movies. The banter and dialogue is surprisingly well done and most of the jokes in these scenes are funny. So yes, oddly enough, the best part of this movie is the comedy between Eddie and Venom.

All the actors do a serviceable job, but we really only care about Venom, Carnage and their human counter-parts. Although, Ms. Chen is a very lovable character. I actually want to see her return. I will say, Woody really leans into the cheesiness of his character. That Batman reference wasn't random, he feels like a villain from a 90s, live-action Batman movie. The only thing missing from his protroyal were cringey one-liners.

This is basically a great movie being held back by too many things. When Carnage came onscreen a lot of the action felt sanitized and heavily edited, then I remembered that this is PG13. You're going to ""Let there be Carnage!"" without an R-rating? It makes no sense. I also think Andy Serkis wanted to make this movie feel like a Saturday morning cartoon from the 90s. Well...he accomplished that. So if that's what you're expecting, you'll probably give this a higher score.

I was also hoping for more action scenes I haven't already seen. This movie would be much more enjoyable if you haven't seen all the trailers. There is a ""surprise"" mid-credits scene but honestly, just have a friend tell you what it is. You should just wait to watch this on streaming.",7
As the conjuring universe pushes forward the protagonist shift toward kids while the material becomes lighter. Anabelle Comes Home is a semi entertaining movie that fails to capture the scares of the its predecessors. Anabelle relies on cheap over used scares and seems to tone down the scares to maybe reach a younger audience. Hopefully the next installment will improve on these mistakes.,5
"If you'd asked me before I started watching The Last Of Us I would probably have said that we didn't really need yet another show about a dystopian future right now - and I still think that, but I'm going to give The Last Of Us a pass on that front.

Somehow this show defies the trend and manages to be engaging and draw you into it's world - a world we've mostly seen before - but not with these characters - and by that I guess I really mean, not with these leads. Pedro Pascal and his young co-star Bella Ramsey do the lion's share of the heavy lifting here - and they do it with understated brilliance - between them they manage to stand for our last chance - and they make you care in the process. Not so much because it's our last chance, but more because of what they've gradually come to represent.

It also has to be said that the production design and execution is top notch - convincingly bleak, abandoned, and showing signs of being well fought over and devastated.

All in all The Last Of Us is a very satisfying watch. It's an easy 8, probably a 9 - so 8 1/2.",8
"The first time I tried to watch this show I got precisely 14 mins into episode one and thought what is this pile of **** and turned it off.

Months later my sister of all people (she's not that into super hero's) said I should push through and keep going, it gets better she said. So today I carried on from where I left off and I got to the end of the first episode and had my previous thoughts confirmed it's trash. Still with my sisters praise still ringing in my ears I thought ok lets see episode 2 TLDR still trash.

By the end of episode 4 however things turn around and the end of the season is nothing short of EPIC.

Stop reading about it and go and watch it, I was wrong at the start you will be too watch it until the end the pay off is worth it :D",8
"Overall I enjoyed the show, but Ellen Page, who I like to watch in movies, was the most manipulated weak character I've ever seen. Could of been so much better, Klause was great.",6
"My wife and I are big fans of the Conjuring (and Insidious) universe, having seen every movie in each franchise, and fully admitting there have been some chapters of hot garbage, but we don't care.

This was not hot garbage. In fact, the commitment to capturing the time period, the setup, and the actors, all superbly done.

The fault, however, was it got too messy as things took off, with three sub-spooks going on at any given time, and those spooks all playing a game of Calvinball. Calvinball, in case you don't know the game, is a game where the rules just make themselves up as the game goes on; how do you combat a ghost? A flashlight will do for some, a guitar might do for others. This prevents any tension from really grabbing hold since you don't know the stakes, and because the spooks are told through three different moments, you're left wondering what the other character has been doing all this time? (I've come to terms with the fact that the spooks must muffle everything in the room so nobody outside can hear it).

Other than that, wow. I was expecting a... what is this, a midquel? Whatever, I was expecting the 70th installment of this universe (that wasn't directed by Wan himself) to be crap, and it wasn't. Consider me pleased!",7
"Dauberman debut at direction is very basic, the screenplay (Dauberman) fails to scare and the final result is a mess up. In the first half nothing happens, in the second half a lot of things start to happen randomly. Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga and the little McKenna Grace saved this movie.",5
"I sit here as the movie plays in the background and I am positive I haven't missed anything because nothing happens in this movie. I've seen documentaries about dinosaurs with more plot than this movie. The documentary and this film at least had one thing in common, the dinosaurs. This movie should be consider cruel and unusual punishment.",3
"Major dislike:
Stereotypes. Not humans. Playing ideas and not lives.


It's not okay for Chinese people to play Korean, but it's okay for Americans to play Russians? At least get the accents to the level or Meryl Streep, for god's sake, it's annoying.


The rest: I read the pilot's script first. It was okay. A little dry. I'm sure it could have been done decent. What I'm not sure is what else (besides cardboard leads) ruined my interest in the series.

I know, it's hard to make moving pictures, it requires a lot of work from a lot of people. And it's easy to just sit here and judge. But just like in everything: one does a good job - people love it, one does a bad job - people don't like it.",4
"One of the funniest movies of 2023. The long-awaited Barbie arrived and made our wait completely worth it.

A comedy with a clever and very intelligent script, with every joke and word surgically placed to have the intended impact. This movie is fun even when it doesn't plan to be, and it also has spiritual and philosophical themes to make you think.

It really is one of those movies that puts you through many moods in a short period of time, but I left the theater with a smile and tears of laughter.

Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling shine in their roles during the film, but it is Gosling who had one of the best performances of his career.",9
"Would rate this a 0 if i could, it's boring, everything is excepted. pretty braindead series to me,",4
"Period dramas first of all need to get one thing right, the ""feel of the era"" in make up, costume, dialogues, sets. The attention for details makes it feel real or fake depending on which side the movie or series leans toward. This one fails miserbaly on all these fronts of dialogues, costumes, make ups. Other than digitally created sets, there are too many modern day elements for u to really get engaged. Just one of many examples, Ram Kapoor's character's expletive laden dialogues are equivalent of mirzapur characters'. 1947 feels like 2020 UP or Mumbai underbelly. Couldnt go beyond first episode as could't get engaged at all.",6
"The other reviews claiming that it has no soul or heart. Those reviews are spot on.

The movie isn't inherently bad. It's practically an almost identical movie to its animated original. The movie also looks amazing! Most of the time you can see the obvious animation. This one is so animated that it could pass for live action.

This is a definitely taste of the future. Kid's cartoons will be this.

Back to the no soul. It's amazing how the voice actors for the animated version are better than these voice actors. Half of the time it was like these voice actors were just reading their lines... no emotion. No heart. No anything.

Some of my favorite parts of the original were definitely ruined and didn't have as much umph.

One other plus side... it was nice to finally see John Oliver as Zazu. In this situation, the role chose the person.",3
"I was excited that the new season was releasing which is also the last season. To be honest I don't get this excited all kinds of series. The main reason I was hooked to the season was because of the characters in it.

But now they are destroyed. Thanks to the makers!

Irony is that they are ending the final season with a message that they have run out of content and no point in continuing any further. Although now I wish they would have ended without this season.

Signing off! Good to know that the series has also signed off.",6
"After Spider-Man's success there were naturally high hopes for its sequel. Raimi showed with the Evil Dead trilogy that he knows how to tweak and develop a continuation within his films. That turns out to be one of the films strongest suits, it continues to grow and build onto the themes established in the first film whilst adding new layers of material. By this second outing Raimi and his cast are so comfortable in their roles that it does become a genuinely enjoyable film. The film is often claimed to be the best of the trilogy and that is something I'd have to agree with. It's far from perfect and shares some of its predecessor's flaws, but when it hits the right notes it is great entertainment.

Story: Peter's struggle to balance his two lives hits breaking point when his powers appear to be fading and Mary Jane becomes engaged to someone else. Elsewhere a failed fusion experiment leaves scientist Otto Octavius psychologically damaged and with four mechanical arms, which he uses in an attempt to recreate the experiment. I was really impressed by how well the film balanced out both of these stories, giving them appropriate time and space to breathe. I certainly think Peter's emotional journey is one of the films highlights and there is a great deal of emotion to those scenes. It's also nice that Doctor Octopus isn't simply a mad man, but a very intelligent and conflicted person with his instability causing his actions.

Hero: Tobey Maguire is excellent as Peter here. He sells every emotion with subtlety and makes some shaky dialogue sound very natural. There is an honesty and warmth in his performance which makes the Peter so endearing. His Spider-Man suffers in comparison as he does lack wit and confidence, but I still think he does okay in the suit and it still manages to fit the character.

Villain: Alfred Molina is a standout as Octavius because he balances both sides of the character to perfection. At first he's very thoughtful and charming, but after the accident there is a ruthlessness and cunning that he manages to get across with his expressions alone. By giving the character so many dimensions it makes it easier to be invested in his struggle.

Support: Kirsten Dunst is good as Mary Jane and brings charm to the role, yet the character is frustrating. Her anger at Peter's apparent lack of support is understandable, but she once again becomes a plot device for Peter to rescue. It's annoying by this point. James Franco is fine as a more vengeful Harry Osborn, even if he does overplay the part at times. Rosemary Harris is a great Aunt May and her elegant delivery gives the dialogue a real zest. J. K. Simmons is simply wonderful as Jameson, his comic timing is perfect and he delivers constant laughs whenever on screen.

Action: The action sequences are much improved over the first film. We again get plenty of shots of Spider-Man swinging through the city and intervening in police chases, with the refined CGI adding intensity to those pieces. Both the climax and the fight at the bank were well constructed. The highlight however is certainly the train sequence. It's a fight that is both wildly creative and appropriately hard-hitting with a great deal at stake for our hero.

Music: Danny Elfman's score is more of the same. It lacks any new sounds, but it definitely fits the films tone and always provides the correct amount of bombast or calmness.

Production: Sam Raimi directs the film with a flair and imagination that surpasses his work on the original film. He captures the vastness of the city well and gives an identity to a lot of the places we end up visiting. Visually the film is very impressive too, with a great number of scenes resembling images you would expect to find on the comic book page (Peter discarding his suit being just one of them). The writing and tone is where the film really splits for me. Much of the material involving Peter's struggles with Mary Jane and the guilt he feels over Uncle Ben's death is excellent, both in its acting and the grace with which it is pulled off. The scenes that Peter and Aunt May share are always so naturalistic. However, the film has too many ill-fitting or goofy moments that clash with the more honest tone. Peter has to deliver some really bad lines, his interactions with Harry get more clichéd throughout and even the Mary Jane dilemma feels weak by the end. The also extras have to be mentioned as I have no idea what's going on with them. It feels like way too many get unnecessary screen time and they all seem to act in a stilted, robotic way that is extremely unnatural.

Conclusion: Spider-Man 2 is an example of a film that improves upon the previous film and adds onto what that film was trying to get across, but it doesn't quite reach the heights that it could have reached. My issues with the film are nearly all down to writing and tone. The film does have a playfulness and sense of fun that frequently works well with its more sober moments, yet it pushes itself into silliness a few times too many and that dilutes some of the more serious material. I certainly think Raimi's direction is as stimulating as ever, whilst the action is better and the acting (especially from Molina and Maguire) is impressive all round. It's by no means flawless, but I do think it's a very entertaining entry and one that is easy to get wrapped up in.",7
"A brilliant 'what if' tv show that holds, no pun intended, a black mirror to society.",9
"Decent to good watch, might watch again, and can recommend, but more for Happy Madison fans than actual murder mystery fans.

I'm not a particular fan of Jennifer Aniston, and Adam Sandler is an actor that has his moments, but this movie is almost written to present Sandler as sexist against men, his character is more of a stereotypical male jackass than usual, like his younger characters grew up and refined their jackassery.

That aside, this is an extremely well written movie, it's even well produced, beautiful and engaging. The problems seem to lie in that these horrible characters are dropped into a much more interesting story. I understand that is basically the premise, but everything to do with them is boring, it's barely funny, and I can't help thinking that Steve Carrell and Tina Fey would have rocked these roles, based on ""Date Night"". Or you could get more serious actors, with a comedic edge, to give it the gravitas it needs.

Hell, if we're doing random re-casts, then Steve Martin and Anne Hatheway come to mind, and just the idea of them as a couple onscreen for this is making me chuckle.

There is plenty to enjoy here, but unless you're already a fan of Sandler or Aniston, this isn't going to be the movie to make you be a fan.",6
"This just came up as an auto play on after something else I was watching, so I thought I'd give it a go. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this cause it's one of my favourite shows I've ever watched. I loved it as soon as I watched the first episode. Everything about it is just so great. The perfect soundtrack, the excellent acting, the extremely likeable and comical characters, and the cosy feel of old architecture and Poirot-esque mystery solving seamlessly blended with a modern setting and story-line.

I love it. This is definitely going to be something I watch multiple times, due in large part simply to the cosy and familiar feel it has to it and it's extremely loveable characters.",10
"One of the worst movies I've seen in a while and it was two hours long.

I only gave 3 stars because John Malkovich added some comic relief.",3
"This movie is nothing short of a mastercraft of murder mystery. Daniel Craig reprised his role as Benoit Blanc, who is very quickly becoming one of my favorite detectives of all time. Once again this movie has a perfectly executed mystery, along with a brilliant star studded cast who did nothing short of impress me. The chemistry of the a-listers along with some fun quirky banter made this movie so easy to watch. Janelle Monae's performance was amazing and extremely well executed. Edward Norton was a perfect fit for his role. Along with the supporting roles of Kate Hudson, Dave Bautista, Kathryn Hahn and Leslie Odom jr was nothing short of a perfect fit. Rian Johnson had impressed me again and I'm desperately waiting for more from the series. This was a very easy film to watch and I will undoubtedly revisit this multiple times in the future.",9
"It's actually a very interesting idea, one that took of course inspiration on the Marvel comics with the same name.

Having the original stories that we know, twisted and fairly so given that we are now entering the realm of the Multiverse in Marvel upcoming movies and TV shows - Let me start with the good: Stunning animation and casting, it's very interesting that they were able to get most of the original actors for the voice recording, it makes it look more connected to the original movies and TV shows where we see these characters.

Although not all episodes are good, the ones that are, they are really captivating and well made - and once again I need to emphasize the animation work, it is really amazing seeing these alternative characters brought to life.

Now this is where I struggle a bit with the concept (hopefully they change it in upcoming seasons), my expectation for the show was that, in pivotal moments of the content we saw in the past, we would be presented with how an alternative version of that event would be - for the sake of an example, imagine if Peter Quill in Infinity War hadn't snapped and Thanos was defeated right there?

This was the type of alternate reality I wanted to see, instead for most episodes (with a few exceptions) we are already in a story where ""the changing moment"" took place and we don't know how, why and what made it happen in the first place? And also those moments were most likely not even happening in the the ""original timeline"".

I know there's a bunch that could be explored when you talk about ""Multiverse"" and the possibilities are ""endless"" but that just seems to be like an easy argument, it would've been more interesting to see a deviation happening from a small detail and how the Marvel world would be - with that being said it's still entertaining and definitely worth the watch.

EDIT FOR SEASON 2: Now that I have the right expectations, I manage to enjoy season 2 better.

I almost forgot about season 1, I had to do a quick recap, but season 2 actually has one great aspect to it - while my original expectation on season 1 was never met, they actually built on top of the story created on season 1 and didn't went with some random storylines.

I believe that was the single reason why I was more drawn to this season.

The animation and voice acting are consistently great and this time around even the episodes that gave us a fresh plot or even fresh characters are original and engaging.

I like the concept, while it can easily become a bit all over the place, it's a series of its own, it's not like it needs to follow the MCU rules or make sense within it, it does however have a lot of references to both comics and movies.

Great season, looking forward to the next!",8
"This is nowhere close to one of his best films...useless character development is distracting, detracts from where it should be done and slows the rest of the film which is slow to begin with...there is so much wasted time in this film, it's painful - so many useless scenes that do nothing but annoy you, many of which don't even make sense...this was a bad film where cute edits do nothing to add to the semblance of an authentic effort...Leo was good in a script that wasn't well written for him, Brad was Brad and solid but again underused/underdeveloped. Anyone giving this even a similar rating to his better films should have their head examined...",2
"Not a great movie overall, some good moments, no plot at all, bad direction, and some really forced scenes. That's all this movie have for you.

Oscar winner? Really? Are you serious?

Maybe it has caused a great impression in the USA, because of the Irak story being tell day by day, but this is a mainly boring movie with a documentary wannabe style with an unbelievable lack of emotion

I went to the see this movie because of the 6 Oscars, but i think more than 1 Oscar for this movie is more than enough (1 Oscar for the main character, which by the way is the only good thing of this movie)",2
"I just completed the first season of this dark and suspenseful detective/horror series an have to say that it's saving grace is a great cast of veteran actors, including Justin Bateman who also serves as executive producer. Without getting too mired in the details I'll just point out some areas that didn't work for me: 1] Holly, played by Cynthia Erivo left me wondering why her character wasn't developed fully. She literally used the same furrowed brow expression throughout. As for her role, she is intuitive, but is she also clairvoyant? Is she a supernatural? A medium? No one really knows. The show only suggests powers beyond what she showcases, like an eidetic memory and a belief in the supernatural. 2] The creature itself is not interesting. Shape shifting is old as the hills and usually just as boring. It has this weird little encampment in a cave which borders on ridiculous and it also has to eat to survive which is even more ridiculous. Why does it choose to take children? Oh, because they're ""sweeter"" tasting? 3] Then there are the endless stretches of filler that compelled me to fast-forward because there was no reason to be invested in the character's relationships as they never really furthered the plot. Worth a watch but don't expect True Detective season one.",7
"I am completely baffled by all the haters of this movie. It is totally watchable! It is, in fact, quite good. And I watch a LOT of movies. I don't review many but I felt I had to get on here and try and put some of this negativity to rest. While it is not the best movie in the world, it does NOT deserve all these terrible ratings and/or reviews. One of the final scenes was predictable but, hell, it was still better than Atomic Blonde! Seriously, I am glad I took a chance and ignored all the hate and was satisfactorily entertained for a change. That seems hard to come by these days! At the end of the day; it is a pretty darn good spy thriller. I hope this is helpful.",8
Best movie ever made by bollywood. Highly recommended. Movies like this might win an oscar for india. Great acting by all the actors.,10
I expect more from this tv show especially with this actor and actress . I can read everything before happening like many times I watched in other movies or tv shows . I really expected more from this powerful team . When you watched something like modern family in comedy genre or west world or archive 81 in mystery and especially those tv shows made few years ago some how we expect something better in this genres . We should step forward not stop or even step back . The only thing i can say about this tv shows is just OK. It rated 8.1 and i believe it's only because of selena gomez i can't see any other reason . She is a good actress and she proved this 15 years ago.,5
"This was really good on so many levels. It was funny and thought-provoking and intelligent. I can see it landing a number of Oscar nominations, and not just so the academy can show off its new found diversity (although that would be fitting given the storyline and themes this movie tackles).

In short, Thelonius Ellison is a struggling author. When his latest book doesn't sell because it's not ""black enough"" he writes the most cliched black novel he can come up with, full of gang bangers and hoes. His agent submits it under a nom de plume and wouldn't you know, it becomes a best-seller. That's the bones of this story but it's so much more than that, as Ellison deals with an aging mother, an older brother who has just recently come out, and a new girlfriend. There's a twist towards the end of this movie that I won't spoil, but just suffice to say it made a good movie great IMO.",8
"This is a film masquerading as a deep film, but whose depth is only apparent to someone who has only ever watched childrens' films.

"Film moves slow at several places, certain things stretch or repeat. The usual dog story with slight twist. Bit unconvincing plot line for the second half. But by far a well made film. Almost all actors including the dog win your heart. And hats off to the filmmaker to pull this off so well.",7
"The first half of this show is a 10/10 masterpiece, no spoilers here, but after a certain point the show just goes downhill. The second half introduces some new characters that are annoying and intolerable, and maybe it's just me but I feel like the quality of the writing kind of goes downhill too. Honestly, if the show ended at episode 25 then it would've been perfect, but nope instead it kept going and got worse and worse and worse. Luckily the actual ending itself was really satisfying though.",6
"Deceived by the praise and high ratings this movie received here I decided to watch it, even though I didn't like Thor, couldn't sit through the propaganda that was Captain America, and thought that both of the Ironmen were only average.

The movie is just fighting, explosions, destruction to infinity, and the action isn't anything that you haven't seen before. There is just more of it, which doesn't make it better - it just makes it become boring and repetitive really fast. Scattered amongst those are retarded dialogs and stupid one-liners, seasoned with terrible acting and corny motivational speeches in the vein of ""God bless America, and make the rest of the world (or rather Universe) its colony.""

Samuel L. Jackson was unbelievably terrible, Scarlett Johansson was terrible, and was that Sherlock Holmes wearing a suit of armor? I could have sworn that the character was the same, only the name was different. So much for Robert Downey's versatility. The rest of the cast followed suit. The only decent actor in this movie was Tom Hiddleston , but his character was ruined by the writers. Loki is supposed to be a god, but here he is so mediocre, that it is ridiculous. His ""mighty"" spear is nothing more than a very low grade laser gun, which doubles as a mind control tool that doesn't work all of the time, and when it does work, it does not work all that well. The mighty, fearsome aliens turn out to be mere cannon fodder, dropping like mosquitoes. Characters' level of strength and power changes throughout the movie to suit the need of the moment. There are 2 (yes, TWO) funny scenes, and both include the Hulk beating up people. That should give you an idea about the quality of the funny parts of the movie.

I guess to like this one you would either have to be a die hard fan of the Avengers, or a die hard fan of mindless, repetitive, boring action. This movie doesn't require suspension of belief to be enjoyed. It requires suspension of brain functions.",3
"A heartwarming, honest kind of movie with great performances.",7
By episode 3 im bored!! And as to submit the review i need to keep typing but there isn't much more to say!!,6
"Jodhaa Akbar is a spectacular Indian epic drenched in colors and music.. The legendary Moghul emperor may not have been anything like Hrithik Roshan, but Hrithik is every inch a royal prince, all 6 feet of him. Both he and Ms. Rai look beautiful and do their best with the minimal script. Lovers of historical romance and adventure films should be pleased...if they don't expect accurate history any more than would be present in a King Arthur or Robin Hood tale. Besides the two stunning leads, the film offers the most glorious vision of a bygone era seen on the screen in quite a while. The action, war and dueling scenes are just as outstanding as the static opulent court and palace scenes. The film is visually rich, beautifully photographed and choreographed. Lavish sets and costumes equal and compliment the beauty of the players.",7
"Heading to a friend's party, a teen decides to partake in a viral game involving herself getting possessed by a strange spirit for their amusement, but after the experience gets them hooked ends up hurting a friend and sets out to help free them from a deadly spirit playing the game.

For the most part, there was a lot to enjoy with this one. One of the better aspects here is the main focus on the bizarre central game that becomes a major part of their interactions together. The overall concept of the game, preparing the participant beforehand with the straps and restraints which then signals the game itself where they undergo the ritual with the cursed hand and then undergo the actual possession itself which is then shown to be an instigation for all manner of crazy antics. From the seemingly harmless like speaking in tongues to more overtly dangerous including self-harm or attacking others in full view of the gathered masses, that this is all passed off as a form of amusement and games that are to be undertaken at will because of the rush it provides goes a long way to making it seem quite impactful. This is then ramped up nicely with the aftermath of the confrontation that brings about the physical threat to the friend group. The sequence itself is genuinely unnerving and has a lot to like about it with the way it turns south even though it was supposed to all be for naught, and the resulting chaos that emerges trying to make sense of it all comes off incredibly well. That's also true of the final half here where the series of interactions that come about here are designed to try to figure out what the point of the game is and why the various visions come into play with everything that transpires. This comes about with a solid series of visions and chilling encounters with the interactions with the possessed trying to disrupt their plans which also manages to generate enough effects-work to make for some positive points. There are some issues here that do hold this one back. Among its big drawbacks is the central setup of the friend-group which is immensely hard to like or care about. Basically being a crop of unlikable douchebag teenagers who quickly show themselves to be more concerned with playing a game involving talking to the dead and videotaping themselves getting possessed by the spirits as a form of amusement, it gets really hard to focus on them being a likable lot of people that would want to be friends with each other. As the incidents continue and they start getting more dangerous and intense, how this never turns into a red flag to stop it with the entirety of the second half playing out as a way to find themselves playing the game whenever they can which is all sorts of difficult to figure out how this is supposed to make them likable. The other drawback to be had here is the tangible lack of a threat the spirits they contact possess to those around them. With the game being merely about contacting the other side rather than doing anything evil or malicious with the activity, there's not a whole lot of fear to be generated from this section as the majority of the confrontations are based on the shocking nature of them appearing suddenly rather than how they act to others. As this turns into the aftermath of the possession, there's more of a focus on the family relationship angle that appears as a result of the main driving point being the randomized nature of trying to get in touch with her dead mother driving it along instead of featuring the spirits trying to interact with them. It's all enough to bring this one down somewhat.

"This is a really interesting series and really well acted except Holly Gibney is a horribly bad actress and pulled me out of the flow of the story. Otherwise everyone else were amazing.

Classic Stephen King plot and arc done very well and adapted perfectly.",8
"None of the characters in this are sympathetic. Could not have cared less which character won any of the fights. Kathryn Hahn is amazing - hers was the only character with any style or flash. I'd watch a spinoff with her as the star but otherwise, snoozefest.",3
"Ok, try to forget about the series and the film (how you doing?). Take it on it's own merits. I really enjoyed it. It's not the happy family that take off to see worlds, they have issues like every other family. Not the perfect couple. And Parker as the baddy (ish) is excellent. However the star is the robot. You never quite know what's in its head and has many twists in its evolvement. Watch it, enjoy it, pure syfy.",9
"The premise of this movie has been done to hell and back, so, there is really not too much to add to this, two guys, one married and another single, one full of responsibilities and the other completely childish and sex addict, both best friends and a night of ""pee"" in the right fountain gets them a switch of bodies.

The movie starts OK, really, with such a stereotypical premise there is nothing surprising, the married man is alright, the childish man is totally unbearable.

Once the change up takes place, both had to endure their new lives and in the process they find each other and more Hollywood blah.

The movie has nice comedy parts and some really gross moments, which is sad because the ending is about to change all that.

If you see this movie from start to middle you will think this is a passable to mediocre movie, some gross jokes are barely watchable being ""the finger"" part one of the gross of all, I almost turn it off in that part.

But suddenly, out of nowhere, in the last 30 minutes of movie, this all passable show become incredible hearth-warming and soft, it's like the director found it's way in the end and although cliché it just ends great.

It's too sad that the gross parts will prevent this movie to be seen on a greater audience, and frankly, if not for the ending, they would be somehow justifiable because, well, this is raunchy comedy.

The thing that really bothers me about this one is that the last 30 minutes are really great, a really feel-good moment and totally likable so, this last part changed the perspective of the whole movie (in a good way) and then, the raunchy parts becomes totally unnecessary.

If they could just make a nice comedy the whole time instead of raunchy- dirty in the first and second act and super heart-warming on the last act this would be one of my favorites, but the mixing became somewhat wrong.

Hapily, the best part is in the ending so we can forgive some of it's flaws.

6 out of 10

Do not recommend seeing this with the family but it's OK for singles and couples although I will just skip the finger scene altogether.",6
In a world where there are people with super powers would they be heroes or would they abuse their power? The boys looks at a scenario where their powers are abused and how they might be taken down by ordinary citizens. And if you think the MCU has made a fortune from that franchise it doesn't take much imagination to envisage the commercial value of a company that controls(as much as they can) a team of the most powerful super heroes. Having powers doesn't make someone a hero by default. The characters have depth and the casting is perfect. Don't let Karl Urbans London accent put you off. Being from London myself it was annoying me a first. But I've always had a gripe with why thry couldn't just use an English actor but he pulls it off and Anthony Starr as Homelander is excellent. His fake smiles and charm are creepy when you see he's just a psycho with the powers of superman. I absolutely love this show. One of the best series I've watched in years. Hope there's a 4th season and beyond. Enjoy.,9
"This is a very attractive film. The first half is quite stunning and good, but it falls apart in the second half burdened by political correctness and social preaching. It simply becomes a self-serving bore. And what is it with all the award nominations ? No doubt the ones for production design and costumes are justified. Ryan Gosling and America Ferrara are good, but Oscar nominations, really ?

The Academy overlooked some terrific supporting performances in 2023 that far surpassed Gosling and Ferrara (for example, Rachel McAdams or Kathy Bates in ""Are You There God? It's Me Margaret"" or Dominic Sessa in ""The Holdovers""). And what's with the nomination of ""I'm Just Ken"" for Best Song ? Really ? Will anyone be singing it 10 years from now - or even 2 ?

The only Oscar nomination for acting that this film deserved was Margot Robbie for her performance as Barbie, and the Academy ignored it. Such a shame, because she was spot on and carried this film from beginning to end with sincerity, emotion, and spirit. Robbie understood her character, as written, and played it to perfection. Mention should also be made that her scenes with Rhea Perlman, as Ruth, the creator of Barbie, were outstanding. Perlman is excellent and demonstrates just how good she can be when she is given a role that taps her wonderful talents. Finally, the ending is just ridiculous and unbelievable - leaving it wide open for a sequel, but, see if you really care to sit through another Barbie movie by these writers.",6
"Watched season one and liked it. Watched season two and it felt like pulling teeth out. Watched the trailer for season three... and I've lost all hope. The only good thing about this show is Steve, and we all know it. I liked him from the get go and that's that. Honestly wouldn't suggest watching past season one. The characters become cringe-y.",4
"This film praises the thing that I think is inhuman. Whatever you aim is, when you kill the dragon you become a dragon. However I think that there's a reason behind it. The war is known to kill love. And man's life without love is painful.

However i like the actors' play, Jody Foster and De Niro is unbelievable young. They are known to become popular after this movie came to screens.

Cameraman's work was outstanding and making a great mood. But I really can't understand why this film is in top 250. I would rather like to see another Scorseze's film based on Dostoyevsky novel",5
"Well, If I were you I'd sell Sominex shares short, this production is a much better way of putting people to sleep than any known medication. How can you take an event like the crash of 2008 and make it look like a day at the offices of Dunder Mifflin?

Steve Carell, one the mysteries of the universe, like cold fusion, like atomic entanglement,like the make up of quarks... nobody can understand these phenomena, just like nobody can explain the success of Mr Carell. I'm sure he's a very nice guy, but he happens to be a cosmic coincidence where someone gets paid for just being who they are. They could have just cut and pasted a couple of scenes from that very same ""Office"" series mentioned above, and nobody would have noticed the difference.

As for the plot of the movie itself there's nothing new here, even though the real event was earthshaking, the bad guys lose and the bad guys win. There is a half hearted attempt to portray one side sympathetically but in this sleazy business they're all greedy and they're all big time gamblers so there's no redemption when one of them cashes in.In the end the man in the street has to pay for it all.

They use the ""House of Cards"" trick where the actors speak directly to the camera but there's an emptiness to it that makes you beg for Kevin Spacey to be talking.

I think that emptiness is conveyed because the actors themselves (and maybe even the Director) don't have any understanding of how the finance business works and particularly didn't have any idea as to how the collapse came about.

To be honest, there was more tension and emotion in the PBS documentary on the crash of 2008 than this film. You know that feeling you get when you have a flat tire and you're stuck at the side of the freeway? Well that's how I felt when I got out of the cinema.

I should say though that Marisa Tomei has matured just beautifully and I could overlook the bad parts of this clunker just for the pleasure of seeing her on the big screen.

Sorry but me no like",3
What can I say about a show that uses concepts from the past........that its best to be left in the past.,1
"Keep the sequels going and Detective Blanc gonna be the next Hercule Poirot!

Storywise the movie does not have a moment of dullness, maybe the ending seems a little bit cartoonish and childlike but as far as solving the mystery of the glass onion goes, it is all pleasurable. Considering most of the cast didn't have a lot of lines to say, they managed to be convincing about the characters they played to some degree, sufficient I'd say.

Surely a hefty successor for the 2019's Knives Out, had me cheered and puzzled throughout. And with the 007 series over and done maybe this could be Daniel Craig's new thing!",8
"A sort of ""theatrical black comedy"" with black humor, despite it wanting to be suspenseful and dramatic. It has quality in production, but lacking real seriousness and action. Despite the good acting and the sleek atmosphere, it is hard to believe.

The various parts and sections in the movie felt disjointed and that made it weak. You really can't take it seriously.

Wish it was Luc Besson who directed it.

"Whenever I see a film, I almost always walk into the cinemas with hopes that the movie is going to be good so I don't feel that I wasted money on it. I go to see almost every movie that is based on a comic book, because I happen to be a big fan of comic books. It's very rare that I am deeply disappointed after walking out of a movie, but this is an unfortunate exception.

To begin with, this movie is not called Bruce Wayne Begins. The focus on Batman is too low, as you hardly ever see Wayne in his costume. It isn't even until more than halfway through the movie that you first see him as Batman. I understand that this movie is supposed to inform you of Bruce Wayne's background, which is something that the other four movies failed to do, but the focus on him is just ridiculous. I was very bored throughout much of the movie, because of how slow-paced and centralized on Wayne it is.

The only performance that I was vehemently impressed with was Cillain Murphy's part as The Scarecrow. For the first time in a Batman movie, the villain actually is frightening. However, he had no reasonable motive for his actions, and neither did Bruce Wayne's teacher.

For all of you that are expecting to see this movie and walk out of it with a feeling of positive astonishment and satisfaction, don't waste your money or time on it, unless you're a Batman fan. Big fans of the Dark Knight may find this movie enjoyable, as you finally get to discover Batman's origin and Bruce Wayne's motivation. However, I am not a major fan of Batman, and I feel that this movie is too deeply involved with Bruce Wayne and not involved enough with Batman.

"Any feature film has to be delivering 3 things, no matter what genre: entertainment, entertainment, entertainment.

How many of us got entertained honestly? A 3 hour documentary on 1969 Hollywood would be more entertaining, informative and fun rather than this mixed up mess of endlessly long stretched scenes. Fact is a fact, an interesting plot and an alluring script before everything else.

Sometimes these directors must be forgetting to take their medication we wonder. Coming out of the movie hall we talked about the only part that was mildly entertaining. Most just slept off in the movie hall during our late night show. Rather than charge up our heads, this movie discharged our batteries, a headache.",2
"I am kind of new to superheroes and comics, and has many times though that they are reusing the epic moments from Avengers when the Hulk smashes the big whale-snake-floating ship, and I thought that the Thor movie was pretty B and 3D- infested mess. But this movie is pretty awesome! Using all characters and making them feel like you know them, when watching their single movies to the big civil war fighting is awesome! But I got to say awesomeTHAT SPIDERMAN!! I never really thought much about the actors they used in the portraying of Spiderman through the other Single-movies. You can never really relate to them, and they feel a bit like, they put a 30 year old man to play a high schooler. A high schooler who is really good- looking, not awkward at all and feel, in Garfields case like a douchebag, more then that weird ""science-geek"" he is suppose to portray. ""I am a high-schooler"". But really they are not! They don't have that awkward set up like you do when you are that age. In the way that they break in their voice or in the way they act. But this Spiderman does!! First when I saw Peter Parker i Civil War, I was confused thinking he was someone else. But when he started to act his part!! PERFECTON! This is the BEST Spiderman I have ever seen, with or without the costume! Well now I am just blabbing about the spiderman-moment... But just giving me a sneak-peak of these characters awesome setup and the big fight! Gave me all the Epic-Movie moments I could ask for this summer! Thank you Marvel for bringing Spiderman back to his Teenage self!",8
There is no doubt that Kiefer Sutherland is the best actor of all time. He's got it all. Would you want to talk about first 10 writers of the show did an amazing job I was always kept right on the edge of my seat. I love this so much that I purchase a whole series. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys good acting.,1
"how on earth can this in any way be a 7.0-rated movie??? this is horrendously bad in every area, in fact so bad it can't even excel at being a bad movie. the only three good things about it are 1) it's denzel, 2) it's about trains (which I like) and 3) it wasn't longer. in olden days IMDb would've had this about a 5 at best and saved me from wasting my time with it.

the story may be true but too many elements are mind-numbingly stupid (sure, miles away in a city of 3/4 million people the guy's wife just happens to live at the focal point of disaster), the acting is awful, the script is nothing but a checklist of clichés and the filmwork is juvenile - shaking/zooming cameras are not a substitute for action, they just alert one to the fact that the director really doesn't know how to create genuinely intense interest.

this is unstoppably stupid and IMDb is not doing their longtime followers any service by letting smelly cr4p like this be rated so unjustifiably high.",4
"So forget the story and forget about following what is happening because, THE MOVIE will make it hard for you, trust me. The saddest part is that this movie doesn't pretend to be more than it is and if done a little bit better could be a really nice action movie to watch but this isn't a perfect world. The problem is that the movie keeps a certain awareness level so you need to stay and watch every minute but once you've watched it, you'll be so confused on what happened because it is basically an action movie plain and simple but its made like a puzzle you need to solve. Again, trust me. I'm writing this review right as I've watched the movie and I can't make anything out of it. So if you're a fan of the director or cast - watch it but if you want some easy going movie - DON'T!",4
"Saw this film after knowing this was made by the same director, who has made ""Vikram"" with Kamal Hasan. Though I haven't seen Vikram, I liked the trailer and buzz around it.

This film started nicely, with various characters and agendas. But after 10 mins I saw one plot hole. A policeman who has mixed a chemical drug with the liquor is also gets carried inside a lorry. There was no sign of him getting drunk at the party, and he has no clue how he landed inside the lorry. It could have easily been avoidable for sure. Then there was another, and another and another. Slowly series of ridiculous events kept happening on screen. The biggest was when 50 people were unable to breach a door of a police station.

It could have been an impressive film with a little effort in writing. But it missed hugely.",5
"Tom Hardy is the only redeeming thing about this movie. Terrible script, bad casting, bad score, bad movie. It was a free movie but a waste of 2 hours of my life I'll never get back. Come on Marvel!",2
"The acting is great and definitely portrays the books well. Although think it adds its own spin on the books/game, there are some inaccuracies which I find rather annoying as it limits dialogue from the book. For example, in the books Ciri is supposed to 11/12 at the start whereas in the series she is 21/22. I do think it is a great show and definitely recommend a watch.",9
"The vast majority of this is incredibly boring. FAR too much sex - added nothing to the story. When will Hollywood producers get that ""less is more?""",5
"And I don't get much attention either. the end is not WOW. idk. it's not the best movie, the truth",6
"The Germans have invaded the United States of America, but with our people. I guess that is how I want to start this review, but one can only tell. Last time we left our hero, he was in cryo-freeze for over 70 years and then S.H.I.E.L.D came and found Captain America a.k.a. Steve Rogers. Then much to Fury's surprise the company had been ambushed by the same evil that they thought they got rid of…HYDRA. But through the unlikely of sources, Alexander Pierce (played wonderfully by the greatest actors of all time Robert Redford) – for you see the Red Skull a.k.a Schidmit was just the birth and now the past has come to haunt.

But it all began when Bucky fell through the wintrier snow of the Alps and Doctor Zola found him and made him into a killing machine and wiped all of his memories, including the memories of his best friend. I don't want to spoil the rest of the movie for those of you who have not seen it yet, but I will say this – the war against Hydra has only begun and now…well I'll let you decide that for yourself.

This movie was the best that Marvel has ever done all thanks to the creator, the master mind behind of all these movies and comic books – Mr. Stan Lee – personally, you are my hero and you are our Captain – thank you for bringing your world to ours.",10
"Changing between time lines just has me so confused, you have the blonde daughter and granddaughter looking the same. You give no indication we are going back in time or present again. I wish you could reshoot in chronological order. What a waste. Our only thoughts could be but wait..she's dead. Is that what you want the viewer to be hung up on? Also you should have had yennifer be pretty before she was twisted because now my brain sees her differently. Stop having the Witcher make loud grunting ums or ehh, they sound ridiculously fake and makes me question the real voice of all the actors/actresses. There is so much potential here. We have house guests who we're watching it in guest bedroom. The next day we discussed it and we agree where it totally got messed up. also, stop with the singing guy-he's not the donkey from shrek, he's not needed in the storyline unless your story is to be irritating.",5
"I buy the films I enjoyed, Ragnarok and quite a few of the other May Among others . This one was more of a phone in, yeah it tied up the series, but it really felt like we have to do this to get it done. I can't argue the storyline needed to go the way it did but some of the characters who were immensely powerful , seemed lessened against Thanos .

There was very little humour or byplay in it

I look forward to the inevitable internet remake that cuts the last two movies in to one.",4
"This is one that I believe I I caught it on DVD ahead of seeing the next movie in the series. I liked where they took the story that first time around. I'll be honest, I didn't remember a lot though until rewatching with Jaime as we head toward Infinity War and Endgame.

What I like about the Captain America movies are grounding them with real political issues. We are dealing with spies and conspiracy theories. Hydra didn't die in the past like Captain America (Chris Evans) thought. He is working with Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Black Widow (Scarlet Johansson). They also add Falcon (Anthony Mackie). They're pitted against a new villain with ties to Captain, The Winter Soldier.

Aside from a solid story, our acting is good. I'd say they fit the characters. This again is a CGI fest. I had some issues there. The movie is still good though as a slightly more grounded super hero. I think this is a good, entertaining popcorn movie.

My Rating: 7.5 out of 10.",8
"Like being on long-haul flight 'Once upon a time' gradually erases the past and a sense of purpose inside a compressed space where the inflight movie consists of tracking shots of 50 year old cars on LA freeways with contemporary pop music. In between, the dramatic action is provided by actors who cruise, chew the fat, and utter prosaic lines in a knowing way.

It's then you wished you'd packed some good books, for example, books on cinema, semiotics and pop culture because it borrows, poaches and re-uses ideas and tropes which have been employed elsewhere and always in more incisive ways.

The era is observed through a Warholian gaze of banality: the TV shows, the songs, the mundane utterances of no interest, which are crafted like TV adverts i.e. a dumb slogan or assertion. Bereft of creative ideas the only strategy is to repeat, and once scaled up, the entire fraud almost resembles something like another better film.

People driving cars are not inherently interesting, nor are their faces, not even with the winking use of a song over the image. Do it over and over, pastiche the era, and perhaps it's a style. Or not.

In any case, it's a trick any film school neophyte can do and upload. And pastiche is something any artist can do before they generate the real work. Mannerists do this: take a previous idea and echo it with minor nuances, strive for an ironic mode because that looks clever. It does to the perpetrator, anyway, though the audience has already seen the con.

Al Pacino said in a recent interview that he does bad movies in the hope that they might lift and, at the very least, become mediocre. With this movie he may have attained that goal, though that is no concession, or pleasure, for the rest of us.",2
"I just am not seeing the greatness of this film. There is no doubt Nolan is an intelligent and imaginative guy. But I just could not fully embrace the premise of this film, my brain struggled to accept what seems so divergent from dream behavior. I know sci-fi/fantasy is all about accepting a bunch of premises which does or can not exist in reality, but at so many turns my suspension of disbelief was popped out to ask the question ""hmm does this really jive with EITHER my universe or Nolan's?"". Maybe I'm overly analytic, or maybe it's the opposite and I'm just too dumb to smoothly grasp and accept it - but in either case I found the movie mentally agitating. He gets points for vision, creativity and a lot of other positives - but when you're so busy questioning whether anything's even plausible that you can't even enjoy the film, well, you get the idea.",6
"Prehistoric tale set in Stone Age about hunter-gatherer people with plenty of action , drama , adventures and thrilling events . In the prehistoric past , a teen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) is left to withstand the hostile wilderness . The cave young man struggles to go back home after being separated from his family (father : Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson , mother : Natassia Malthe) and tribe during a buffalo hunt. He finds a similarly abandoned wolf companion and begins little by little a peculiar friendship that would change humanity. As the young man is lost after his first hunt in the prehistoric Ice Age , living on his own and he soon encounters a lot of dangers and befriends a deserted wolf, and the two learn what it takes to survive as a brutal winter approaches . Experience Mankind Discovers Man's Best Friend !. Leaders are born from survival !.

In this action-packed thriller there's drama and adventure , stars a young Cro-Magnon dealing with the incredible story of how mankind discovered Man's Best Friend. It's an interesting film about primitive humans containing drama , emotions , fights and being pretty entertaining . The breathtaking scenes with the wild wolves are frankly well made , resulting to be a mixture of true wolves , wolf-dog hybrids , and 3D computer generator . Ponderous and sometimes slow-moving regarding a young man and a wolf , a especial pair that learn to rely on each other and become unlikely allies , the picture had moderate success at box office , however , nowadays being better considered . Stars a decent cast such as : Kodi Smit-McPhee , Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson , Natassia Malthe , Leonor Varela as Shaman woman and Morgan Freeman giving a brief narration at the beginning and end . Based on a screenplay by Daniele Sebastian Wiedenhaupt and director Albert Hughes himself , it turns out to be a minimal narration about a lost boy and his fight for survival .

It displays a colorful and brilliant cinematography by cameraman Martin Gschlacht Iceland , shot on location in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada , Brooks, Alberta, Canada, Cougar Buttes, Lucerne Valley, California, USA . As well as thrilling and evocative musical score by composers Joseph S. DeBeasi and Michael Stearns . The motion picture was well realized by Albert Hughes , displaying skillness enough and agreeable enteratainment . Albert along with his brother Allen are innovative and fine filmmakers. A short financing allowed them to direct ¨Menace II society¨ (1993), which made its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and grossed nearly 10 times as much as its $3 million budget. After following up with ¨Dead presidents¨ (1995) they directed the feature-length documentary ¨American Pimp¨ (1999) . They are authors of good films such as ¨From hell¨ and ¨Dead Presidents¨ and , of course , their big hit ¨The book of Eli¨ in which they blend ¨Mad Max¨ trilogy style along with ¨Farenheit 451¨ final premise . Eventually , Albert directed without his brother this ¨Alpha¨ (2018) . Rating : Notable , better than average . This remarkable action film will appeal to adventure buffs. Rating : 7 , Above average . Well worth watching.",7
"It's a story about four friends who decide to quit their jobs (which were paying them handsomely) and start up their own business. The story starts with how they struggle to take decision as big as quitting their job, that was about first episode in the further episodes they start looking for an investor who is ready to invest money and resources in their idea. When story moves further they have to take some really hard decisions.when you watch one episode you CAN'T stop yourself from watching the other episodes. When the dialogue is funny it makes you laugh out loud and when they are philosophical they pierce through your heart.There are so many moments where you just want to stand up and clap for the makers and actors of the drama. P.s.- My words still couldn't describe the greatness of TVF's PITCHERS.",10
"The first 20 minutes are pure torture on the senses, her backstory is so stupid, her character itself is just dumb. as the movie progresses through time it gets better but there's a really good reason this was a short lived bad tv show and a cheesy movie... as i said just dumb.",5
"I really don't get why people are raving about this movie. I watched it because of its high ratings. Seems like an unoriginal story line. I did like the Jazz, but nothing really happens in the story other than contrived drama. The acting was good, and it has some great actors who I have loved in other movies, but there isn't a story, or at least the story seems a bit silly, especially the grand face off at the end. Really no idea why this is getting so highly rated, maybe music students relate to this story better? I dunno, but given other people really like it, I guess it's a movie you need to watch and make your own mind up. For me, this was Meh.",3
"I was really thinking this film would redeem 2018, but no. Great visuals, however beyond that, the film doesn't succeed in delivering. There is nothing that grabs your attention in this movie. My advice, lower your expectations before watching.",4
"I love the original ""Lion King"" and I cry every time Mufasa dies. This remake takes all this emotion and impact of the original and simply tosses it into garbage. The CGI characters have no life in them, no personality; they are just awkward and feel artificial. There is just nothing there for the viewer to connect to and no amount of nostalgia will fix that.

If you want your dose of the ""Lion King"", just watch the original again and forget this abomination even exists.",2
"In context with the rest of the Robinsons she seems the only member burdened with something akin to employment. I'm no fan of the original but it made a point to depict the endless chores required by the entire family unit in order to survive. I'm as uncomfortable seeing modern day Judy as a lone domestic earning her keep as I am seeing old Judy reduced to competing in intergalactic beauty contests. I was hoping the tone of the program would take a cue from its source and offer colorfully silly fantasy adventure, so it's an adjustment seeing the concept run through a prism emphasizing trauma and so much selfishness.",4
"It was absolutely pathetic.. Bunch of Prozac-drugged hippies dancing to anything. This sets absolutely unrealistic life expectations for young people and you should be ashamed of allowing this abysmal piece of schnitzel to be made public.

Overly-hyped Hollywood piece of garbage that didn't need to exist. I would prefer to watch Donald Trump's inauguration speech on repeat for 72-hours straight than watching that opening scene again!

I have left the cinema in 20 minutes and decided I HAD to log back into my IMDb account just to try to help other people before they get scammed by Hollywood marketing stunts.

Ryan Gosling CANT sing for schnitzel! How did you manage to convince Gosling to sign up for it and ruin his life?",1
"When everyone else is busy discussing the issue on news panels as 2014 supposedly being the year of Women Empowerment, Producer-turned-director Vikas Bahl has done his bit full-heartedly, loud and clear with his second and the most delightful film of the year, crowned already in its name. 'QUEEN' powerfully belongs to the genre called 'slice of life' movies where every ounce of emotions, every piece in the settings and each shade of events is authentic, appropriate, raw & reliable. And then, there is Kangana Ranaut- the gifted conductor without any baton who single-handedly orchestrates all of it to create a magnificently charming film. Make a nice cozy room for this in your hearts. It's not going to leave any soon.

Rani (Kangana as a surprising revelation) is a typical 'Rajauri' girl of West Delhi who's all excited to loose her 'virginity Kai brat' since it's just a couple of days more for her to get married with his prince charming Vijay (Rajkumar Rao in a comparatively smaller but significant role). While good things are in wait for its turn, bad knocks the door first. She's been dumped for not being modern enough to match the status of the London-returned eligible groom. Rani is shattered but doesn't want to miss her last chance to taste freedom as the preplanned honeymoon package in Paris is still on. And then, begins a fascinating yet simple journey starting with a maze of ambiguity, resistance, conflicts and winding up in the unfastened ends of independence, liberty and freedom to live happily ever after.

Sounding similar to English-VINGLISH, 'QUEEN' is not more than a distant relative who never actually has met with the other. Rani here is more spirited and progressively more opened up soul than anyone you have seen on screen. Her first reactions to anything inventive towards her are immediate, simple and carefree. Her tricky tactics to deal with any unseen, enforced situation might have its own logic behind but are totally entertaining to have you in splits. So, she can be apprehensively charmed by people doing 'lip-to-lip' kisses. She can also recount the state of women in India where they aren't allowed to even burp in public and that too without making it a loud protest. Well- written!!

QUEEN belongs to Kangana. She owns it as much as any legendary actresses do to their lifetime roles. She succeeds to make your heart somber in pain but does an outstanding job to bring tons of smiles on your face. Every actor needs a character he could slip into to make it alive. For Kangana, this is it. Rajkumar Rao makes his presence felt. Lisa Haydon is good as Rani's confidante in Paris. Actors as her friends-cum-roommates are perfectly cast.

Director's sweet remembrance audio-visual to film's late cinematographer Bobby Singh, Amit Trivedi's uplifting songs & background score, delicious dialogs co-written by Kangana herself and a total breezy- fresh and funny tone to the film are added features that don't allow you to miss it at any cost. Include it in your to-do list for this weekend, soon after finishing this review. Others can wait! QUEEN shouldn't!!",8
"This new ""Sherlock Holmes"" is an attempt to make the iconic Victorian sleuth cool for the blockbuster generation by punching up the story with fights, explosions, and steampunk style. And, while I'm not morally opposed to the idea of an action-hero Holmes, it makes the movie kind of a strange hybrid. Action movies work best when they are ""dumb"" (that is, when they have a relatively simple story), but Sherlock Holmes movies work best when they are ""smart,"" with a twisty mystery that requires Holmes' intelligence to solve. Therefore, the plot of ""Sherlock Holmes"" is way too convoluted and contrived for what should be a simple action movie. But it's not really satisfying as a mystery story, either, because the constant onslaught of action scenes means that the audience never has time to stop and think about the clues.

Additionally, the story, about an evil lord and his secret mystical society plotting to take over the world, seems like the Victorian equivalent of a Dan Brown novel. It's a lot of hokum, in short, and I couldn't get myself to really care about it.

So this movie would really be terrible if it didn't star Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law as Holmes and Watson. Their presence proves that even in a silly blockbuster, it's worthwhile to cast people who know how to act and entertain an audience. Because Downey always comes across as the smartest guy in the room, as well as a total eccentric, he was an inspired choice for the role of Holmes. The best scenes in the movie are the ones where he and Jude Law's Watson bicker like an old married couple; they make a great buddy-movie pairing.

Rachel McAdams doesn't have much to do in the role of Irene Adler, the designated love-interest, but she still seems miscast. Irene is supposed to be an international woman of mystery, but McAdams comes off as too young and too contemporary.

So the intelligence in this movie comes from Downey's performance as Holmes, which I guess is as it should be; I had just hoped for more intelligence in the writing and direction as well.",5
"There was a murder in the building, and no one looked worried or scary. It looks like everyone was having fun and didn't care.

Not even the police cared. They were trying to solve the murder mystery, but instead they are doing podcasts. And recording everything like a funny joke.

I wanted to feel like there was a murder and they would be worried and find the mystery with suspense instead of Charles dating Jan, Oliver family history, etc.

They are showing Oliver Putnam a mystery from childhood, but Oliver has an 8-month rent due. How come a man does not know how to earn money, get a job, and pay rent but knows everything about murder cases?

And the podcast fans were waiting on the street for days that weren't funny to watch.

The mystery was good, but the way they found it wasn't good. I would give 10/10 if it was an art thief mystery.",4
"At the time of writing this, 1917 is up for 10 Oscars, fresh off the high of winning best drama at the Golden Globes. I haven't poured into exactly what it is nominated for, but I know that it is up for best picture and best cinematography. Unfortunately, I can't say I agree with the academy on it being a best picture contender. That being said, this is some of the most brilliant cinematography I have ever seen in my life. For the uninitiated, the film is shot in such a way that it seems like it is all done in 1 or 2 scenes. I know some big name films have done this before, but this is my first experience with the style. When you combo that 1 take with the brilliant picture and color that 1917 provides, you end up with a stylish and enthralling story that would have otherwise felt lackluster. Definitely worth a watch and a cinematography Oscar.",8
"First review ever because I felt I had to tell people how awful this was. I didn't have a clue what was going on at any stage of the movie, surprised I stayed awake. Who thought this was good exactly!?",1
3 First Episodes Is just a waste of anyones time to watch. Guess we can hope It ges better. But so far this serie Is just a big joke.,1

"First of all, love did not seem to account for much, which goes against JK Rowling's premis in her first series. Second, the movie was confusing to one of her biggest fans. I do give her credit in the fact that we won't truly understand this movie till we see the next one (or two). In fact, I'm such a fan, I will go see it again, as I must have missed something. The only thing I understood for sure was that this movie was designed to make money. I really wish I had never seen it.",2
"At 12 years old this would have killed on a Sunday night, but as an adult I hesitate to find any positive qualities beyond looks and action.

The show is rated 18+ in my country, yet dialogues ane storylines seem to have been made for teens. Everything is spelled out numerous times, which is even more redundant considering how one can simply guess what's going to happen and it will happen.

I really like Cavill, usually, here he's LARPing his way through the show and I find it abysmal.

Super meh.",3
"Every scene is for refilling purposes.

The story is clichéd to death, and childish on every measure.

I would not even care about that if the result were fun to watch, but I was bored along the entire movie.

If you can recall the feeling of being bored on a too long scene of some movie, then you will get what I mean. I was bored on the entire movie. I spent my time wanting for each one to end.

It haves generic heroes, joined together for no reason. They become friends just because.

The entire movie is made of one liners. The CGI is generic at this point of time.

The ""heroes"" are so annoying that you want all of them to die.

Somebody got a lot of money to make a movie, and has no talent. The result is like the car designed by Homer Simpson: garbage pieces joined together by somebody really mediocre, which thinks is cool to add another bizarre honk, so he keeps adding stuff until a big ball of spit chewing gum is formed, with weird things pasted all around.

This is what this movie is: a ball of garbage.",2
"Pitchers - Motivational Tv series Season - 1

This series is so entertaining. It is a story of a startup company and a small group of entrepreneurs. Their struggle, ambition, hope, fun, risk taking and all the stuffs were so amazing. This is a mini series though I found it to be so engaging. The difficulties of a startup and how the society and investors exploit this situation is nicely framed in this series. Besides, the digital dark arts are also shown in this series. How anyone can become a victim of cyber crime so easily that is shown in this series. Frankly, I learned a lots of things from this series. Must watch.

Personal Rating - 8/10 (I wish the series was not so small)",8
"Such a drag, 6 episodes/season 1 down and nothing to capture your imagination or excite you has gone down. Extremely trite writing and screenplay that bores you to no end. Loki should have remained dead in MCU, and alive in our memories as the God of mischief he was, not this cheap knock-off. Please cancel season 2 and we will soon forget this disgrace on MCU.",1
"I give this film a 6, but only because they tried hard. At least they tried. But in reality, this film was pretty bad. All of the characters either seem like cliches or are just... off. The main character- I don't know, but something feels off about him. That's really the problem with the movie in general- it just feels wrong. Maybe it's just badly paced, but it was just presented in a way that is so boring. No time is given to develop characters at all. The ""hunt"" itself is pretty boring. Even the final battle seems wrong. Spielberg really tried to make an original film but it just didn't hit the mark. There is no ""movie magic"" behind this at all. Just watch the trailer instead.",5
"This movie is many things. One may say it is a story of strength, and finding the beauty in yourself. Others, may just not like it. I am in the middle of all of that. The movie was a little better than meh, but lacked in some aspects that it could have dealt with more. I think Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling were good, but I really didn't like their characters (Mostly Ken) The musical numbers and camera work were amazing. But, by far three things stood out to me. One, the costumes design and sets. The directors sculpted amazing set design with colorful costumes to go along with it. My honorable mention is Rhea Perlman. I thought she was phenomenal. While anyone could play that role she really brought it. Finally, America Ferrara. Since her days on Ugly Betty, she has became a household name. But in this movie she was wonderful. I enjoyed Superstore quite a bit and wanted to see Barbie mainly for her character. Her speech was moving and she brought so much to her simple, yet relatable mom.",6
"Nothing good I can say about acting. Maybe except of Klaus. The story itself is interesting, but individual scenes are too predictable and so often boring. Nice music - good job there.",4

"Read the comics and had high hopes but this was totally spoiled by the constant liberal agenda preaching, anti Christian, anti conservative, pro gay agenda.

"Since there isn't anything unsaid already, i'm just gonna lean into the mystery that WandaVision is for some people.

I don't know what some ''reviewers'' expected from this. Marvel Studios didn't just came up with it from thin air. From the get-go, it is a COMIC BOOK STORY (like all the others) of Wanda, pretending to live at the suburbs with Vision as a married couple, in a Golden Age backround. Comics have their fair share of that too, they're not like ''pew-pew'' lasers all the time. Quite the contrary, quirkier representations of otherwise everyday problems like family drama and disfunctional character psyche, are a big part in the books. And now that you are lured in by 20 years of movies filled with mostly one aspect, the time has finally come to meet another one.

And how could you enter this very new and uncharted perspective? By watching the first scene with Wanda/Vision washing the dishes at home and fight inter-dimensional beings on the second? Please. Even if it seems and sounds like only a soap opera to you, the dialogue hints A TON of what's next (Except if your attention is earned only with explosions and slow motion mid-air falls, then i'm sorry you probably lost your way from the Bayformers Universe).

Look, i get it. If you are a millennial or something, you might hear something like the laugh track and say: ''Why the hell was that funny?''. Understandable. But that's not at all the comical intention. The point is, back then those one-liners and situations used to be funny - and now the joke is our past selves, laughing (A 4rth wall break, like the product of Wanda's actions itself). A bit of the same goes for the rest of the elements, there is nothing in the show without a second meaning or connection with the action-packed stuff.

On the other side, if you are a fanatical chauvinist of the ''competition'' (like if that even still exists), i may find it gratuitous but i also get it. It's not easy to see the ''enemy'' expand by pushing on uncharted territories, when your ''wearing colours'' keep failing on the basics. It sure hurts, but maybe you have to let go of it, as I did back in my childhood. If both of the frontrunners had live-action garbage, i'd just stick exclusively at each one's book series. But at least i'm not afraid to say that i LOVE at least one movie and one movie trilogy from DC, and that i HATE at least two Marvel live-action projects. Cleverly made material, is good material - period.

In each case, give WandaVision a chance again when you're older (physically or mentally). You will appreciate it more, guaranteed.",9
"A bit over hyped but it's an ok to good movie watchable and intense at times , I would say it's a really good science fiction movie without all the stupid unbelievable imagination.",7
"I feel like the whole movie was about running and running. No unexpected turn of events as any person could have guessed it. I can't understand why people gave such high ratings. Yes the set is good but anything would be quality with that budget. Same scenario with any other action film. Nothing amusing, full of uninspiring scenes and predictable action.",4
"I know this review is like a month late but if you haven't already watched barbie you really should. I thought this would be a fun or child like movie but I ended up crying at the end. I found it very heartwarming, it's genuinely a good movie. In this movie Barbie try's to find her true self while wondering what her worth and purpose is and understand herself. It also has some funny jokes I liked in the movie. I think this movie is an absolute masterpiece, both funny and sad. I would personally rate this movie ten out of ten especially if you're into heartwarming and I guess somewhat relatable. I highly recommend this :).",10
"This should be marketed as a sleep aid as it put my entire family to sleep within 30 minutes. I pushed through (mistakes were made) and watched the whole thing, I wish I could go back and sleep instead.

Throughly awful and a huge disappointment considering the great cast and the fact that the first one was really good.

3*'s for cast alone because this messy tired tale that seems to think it's clever but is just a boring and predictable snooze fest. Over acting by everyone but Monae and somehow Kate Hudson even manages to be unlikable and all around irritating. With this budget you would think that Daniel Craig would have gotten a better accent coach, it's painful.",3
"This is one of the worst shows ever made. Death Race was a much better version of Twisted Metal than this garbage.

It's difficult to understand what would make an actor want to be on this show. I get a poor struggling actor willing to take anything that will put food on the table but one actress won many awards for her work on Encanto and the other was a reoccurring actor in the Avengers movies. They aren't desperate for a paycheck.

This show is one of the stupidest, poorly scripted, poorly acted-in shows that I've ever seen. I can't believe how horrible it is. They should force people in prison to watch this show. What an insult to the video game. Neve Camble and Lloyd are both bad in it too.",1
"The daredevil was an (unexpectedly) good series from evil, that had some excellent character building. My favorite character was Wilson Fisk, which was played marvelously by Vincent D'Onoforio. My second favorite was of course the Daredevil himself. This was also portrayed quite well by Charlie Cox. He tried and failed to give a good performance when he had to interact with Deborah Ann Woll and/ or Elden Henson.

I could tolerate Elden Henson, although just barely, who's probably around for some light comic relief, if at all. But, his acting was weak and there was not much chemistry between these two supposed best buds of so many years. The worst part of the series was Deborah Ann Woll. Her acting was simply horrible. It simply dragged the whole series down. Towards the end I wish I could just skip the parts in which she was in. I will not include any spoilers but you will understand my pain when you have to go through the scenes of her alcoholism.

If those two actors were better casted, this show would have been a sure 9+ series.",7
"Brad Ingelsby, the creator of Mare of Easttown, has stated that one of the difficulties in plotting this series was telling a story piecemeal over seven episodes - how much to reveal in each episode so that the viewers would not get ahead of the story. His failure was to pile cliche upon contrivance so that by the concluding episode one must suspend disbelief beyond reason. There will be no spoilers here. The entire mini-series is the spoiler - since the actors were disserved by truly amateurish plotting. Watch for the acting; tolerate the plot.",2
Gutted characters put in a plot without logic. Production quality way below budget. Terrible loss for the fantasy genre. Really don't understand how you can produce something this inconsistent and dumb out of such a great source material.,1
"Special effects, 9 out of 10; storyline, 2 out of 10.

Boring, predictable and preposterous.

I find that, during and after the pandemic, many films have been made that seem to cater to our fragile egos, wanting to fuel our delusion that the world is black and white, good is good and bad is bad, and that we are always on the side of good.

This is one of them.

Full of inconsistencies, the story-line is to say the least, pathetic. The dialogues are trite and mawkishly sentimental (who actually speaks like that?) and from the very first scene you can rightly guess everything that is going to happen.

This movie has been made for profit alone.

Don't let them manipulate you: spend your money somewhere more deserving.",4
"I used to like tvf a lot from bachelors to pitchers But this time this series claims to deliver the truth of kota but ends up as a indirect promotion of kota coachings This has not covered (not even mentioned) The suicide cases rise In kota,rank manipulation in coachings, coaching system in India This whole seems a funding done by big coachings of kota to clean their image .",1
"I checked out Gravity sometime last year and it left me confused by the time it got over.

Confused because there is no such plot in the film and you see Bullock in every scene for 70% of the movie. Bullock is a fine actress but there is not enough material in this film. Clooney is again charming at his best and has some good one liners but his character is killed off to soon.

However, if u overlook what I said in the previous paragraph, the movie is visually stunning. As one critic said, ""This is the closest to what we can see as space in our lifetime"".

Cuaron and his team create a masterpiece of visuals and effects and in 3D, it comes of superb. The photography is outstanding and I was awe struck several times when I was seeing space.

The movie should win Oscars in the technical fields and Cuaron may pick up the Best Director trophy but story wise, its disappointing.",7
"Show was okay as dumb entertainment, but i cant get over the whispering from Cavill. Most childish thing since batman. Who thought that was a good idea??",7
"As a chess player, I was immediately captured by this fictional TV drama that is loosely based on the life of Bobby Fischer, who is considered to be the greatest chess players of all times. His troubled youth, mental struggles, and personal triumphs are well portrayed in this miniseries. I enjoyed every aspect of the show except the cinematography by Steven Meizler. It seems that Meizler doesn't understand how HDR works and what shades you should avoid when shooting dark scenes. Instead of using a dark black color to represent dark scenes, he chose a greyish color that highlights all the imperfections and banding on TV sets, notably OLED TVs. Even my brand new $4000 OLED TV looked like a used TV from the 70's during some dark scenes, especially when panning where I could see a bunch of vertical lines move across the screen. It took all the joy out of the show. Practically every other show on Netflix uses proper colors scheme with beautiful black levels and bright whites without the horrible grey that brings the worst out of your TV. A good example of perfect use of HDR is Money Heist. He could learn a thing of two from them!",8
"I had great expectations of this film which featured a stellar cast which should have been enough to make this a great film, but it was slow and dull and lacked the dynamics and action of Goodfellas. The facial makeup was awful with De Niro and Pacino looking like they had succumbed to LA botox. It should be renamed The Geriatric Mob. One of the worst Scorsese films I've ever watched.",2
"Watching this film, the same thought went through my mind over and over again - Why would James Cameron let a script written for and by 11 year olds be used for this visually stunning movie?

The dialog is clunky and poorly thought out. Entire subplots and characters could have been eliminated with almost no affect on continuity.

The visuals were truly amazing. Watching this movie without the dialog would be a better choice than watching it with the dialog.

I'd talk about plot holes, but that would mean there was an interesting plot. The characters are simply lifeless.

I talked with some of my friends kids about it, and they told me they thought it was boring. I'd have to agree.",3
"Much simpler than GoT.

First few episodes are somewhat interesting, you start to pick your favorite characters, a few of them show some good qualities. Then after about episode 6 it all goes downhill.

The story: a bunch of depraved individuals kill or copulate with each other in order to be the next in line in the king's succession. Nothing else matters, nothing else is shown. Not a word on economy, philosophy, technology, social issues, context.

The setting: early medieval kind of society, some magic (dragons), knights, lords, sword fighting, dark castles.

The show is so monothematic that it's boring. Everybody is trying to be the next king/queen or be in their good graces. No context, no particular motivations for the characters. Even the current king himself doesn't look too happy or powerful or like he has accomplished anything of value other than just being the king. Hardly in a position to envy. Why then is everybody trying to be next?

The writers cater to those who like to see grotesque scenes, depravity, gore. I am not one of them. It is one thing to shock audiences every now and then to spice up the story but in this case the grotesque is the main dish. I find that very distasteful.

By the end of episode 8 there was nobody left for me to root for. I couldn't care less about who gets to be the next king/queen or even about who survives. The dragons could burn everybody up for all I cared.",4
"Not so good for adults.

While the movie doesn't leave a bitter aftertaste, thanks to its flat and entirely predictable plot, it misses out on a lot of fantastic opportunities to play with the implications of self-aware NPCs and simulated realities in general.

But yeah if you need to occupy your offspring for 2 hours, this will probably get the job done. ;) If you are hoping for an interesting take on AI and whatnots, look elsewhere.",4
"The story lines are good, the details are very bad, too many fighting scenes and the end is not very good. But it's beautiful sight.",4
"Jerry Lundegaard is in a financial jam and, out of desperation, comes up with a plan to hire someone to kidnap his wife and demand ransom from her wealthy father, to be secretly split between Jerry and the perpetrators. Jerry, who is not the most astute of individuals, hires a couple of real losers from the frozen northern reaches of Fargo, North Dakota for the job. Then things begin to slip from bad to worse as Jerry helplessly watches on.

Before I say anything, I would like to say I've seen the edited television version, so I don't know if it is different from the theatrical version. When I watch this movie, it says it is based on a true story and after I finished watching it, I had a hard time believing it, but still, it was a fantastic film.

This whole movie is like a kidnapping plot gone wrong. Although there are some dark subjects in the film, there were some pretty funny moments (that's why calling it a comedy thriller). Like any great movie, the script for this one is written really well and the characters aren't one dimensional.

I like the dialog so much, that I just love it! I never really thought dialog could be written this well. The characters are fantastic! You, or I, can fall in love with every one of them, just because of those well written lines.

This isn't your ordinary kidnapping film (or maybe it is. I haven't seen that many). This film looks so original and different in a kind of way. It's also very heartbreaking and I also liked how the movie ended. It felt complete and satisfying.

William H. Macy's performance is really weird but was really good. It's probably because of the weird personality. Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare performances were subtle, but not bad. And my favorite character of all is played wonderfully by Frances McDormand.

This is one of the best movies ever made. The whole movie was shot really well and the dialog was fantastic. The characters were lovable and the whole movie was really satisfying. Watch it, people. I guarantee you will love it as much as I do.",10
"QT begun his carrier with a punch, but he finish it with a fart. The only thing worth mentioning in this movie is the attention to details and Brad Pitt. Both as Brad Pitt and Cliff Booth. Maybe, this movie should be about Cliff instead. Other then that, it's just like going to a supermarket on a Sunday afternoon, expecting nothing to happen.

The few laughs and the very few meaningful scenes are far, far away anything remotely close to a good movie. It's like a professional collage project.

My friend, who brought this movie to my attention and even payed for the tickets to make me go with him, actually fell asleep. My other friend went to the toilette in the middle of it. Something a movie fanatic would never do.

4/10 for couple laughs, some of the mood and Brad/Cliff",4
"The first you know as everybody is aware by now Henry Cavill carries the show. He hoisted this show on to his massive Witcher shoulders and just carries it. That's not to say that everybody else in the show is bad, it's just that by comparison no one else can hold up. Fans of the books, or games are going to notice the changes that were made to important characters. The casting decisions aside from Henry Cavill pretty bad. For some characters their ethnicities have been changed, and for others their sex has changed, and some have had both changed. This is a negative because it was done simply for the sake of diversity. for simply the sake of diversity. As someone that has read the books, graphic novels and played the games to me it is a huge problem. these are characters that you have come to know from playing gwent, or from interacting with them in the games, or from learning about their characters in the novels. Some characters have been deleted some have been merged into entirely new characters. Then there's the issue of the timelines they are trying to merge multiple timelines and it is not done in a very comprehensible fashion. If you have not read the novels or at least played the games you are going to be lost. It's a great show, and you can see where the cast members have put in the effort but the writing and casting decisions really hold it back. Unfortunately at this point the damage is done with hardcore fans feeling alienated and the problem is those are the same fans that the show needed because they're the ones most capable of understanding the convoluted timeline. I'm reading the show and nine out of 10 but that is only getting a 9 out of 10 because of how excellent Henry Cavill is as Geralt, Dandelion, some of the supporting cast, the signs, and Roach. An example of the bad decisions though is when an unnamed sorceress pulls out a sword and is suddenly capable of defeating trained fighters in just melee combat. So in summary if you're a fan of the series be prepared to be disappointed in a number of things, and if you're new to the series then be prepared to be lost. As fans all we can do is hope for the next season that they worry less about diversity, and try to stay true to the characters that are already established.",9
"It could have been a great show if... Where to start? The costumes, the production design, the cgi, the dialogues, the casting, the (lack of) storytelling, the...? This really had potential but it unfortunately is dragged down by a very poor 90s look. Xena has cult status at least. What's with that really ugly lighting, the sun, lens flares, jumps in time and places. Without someone next to you that played the game - you are lost. There is absolutely no character or story line you grow to care for. Whatever happens just happens. Cut. Different random scenario. Cut. And than dialog about something they could have shown. It is highly frustrating to watch this show. I highly doubt that so many people (that actually care about writing a review) are so easily entertained by this poor ""story"".",1
"I've used IMDB for years without creating an account. But this show is just so bad that I created an account juts to give it an 1 star.

Full disclosure, I've only seen the movie version. This reboot is just bad in so many ways. The character relationship, personality and intellegence are all questionable. Space & alien environment are not the issues. It's the human relationship that drives everyone to setbacks & obstacles.

In conclusion this is a soap opera set in a supposably alien planet, more likely somewhere in Montana.",1
"I do not understand where the good reviews are coming from for this film. Someone HAD to be paid off. I waited through the boring uneventful movie for the plot to get funny or exciting at some point..this never happened. The only scene which got a giggle out of me was when he was on the treadmill and it went out of control, other than that scene this movie lacks EVERYTHING. It was a complete snoozer, better to help with insomnia rather than entertain. It is confusing to follow, and the scenes just do not flow into one another. There are random scenes where all of a sudden the main characters are at a party in someone's apartment, and she is mysteriously wearing a wig.

Don't know what is going on with this movie but I would recommend unnecessary surgery over subjecting someone to this film.",1
"I've read some of the forum posts about this movie (in a board where the public wasn't so greeting) and I saw multiple complaints about the annoying accents, boring story, unnecessary dialogs and so on.

I have no clue where does that come from. It seems pretty clear to me that the accent was intentionally exaggerated in a satiric fashion so we get a sense that everyone there is dumb. Therefore I find it fascinating that the female officer whatshername pulled such an extraordinary role in which she shows her wit while being strained by boundaries of her yahs and ohyahs. I really don't understand the negative critics on her (""she acts like she has a stick in her a**). As far as for WH Maceman, I find his looks perfectly suitable for the role (even more than Martin Freeman was who plays a character with an identic personality in the TV show), doesn't he look and act like a real p****? I thought that's exactly what he's intended to do.

Also about the dull dialog and story I simply couldn't disagree more. I like that I don't anticipate anything in this movie, interesting action is omnipresent. You can literally enjoy every scene without the eagerness of anticipation for the next one. I really liked that.

All in all, I find this movie really intriguing and I rated it with a 10/10 though I don't considerate it as a pure masterpiece but it fascinated me to death so the grade is well deserved.",10
"A totally dysfunctional and unrelated cast, an incomprehensible story and tons and tons of computer graphics. The result is a confusing and totally boring movie. A waste of money.",3
"The show is okay. Right when I started getting into they switched up the characters. There isn't a lot that happens in this show that matters which makes some of the scenes mind numbing. Lots of pointless sex scenes, like a lot lot. For no reason. Lots of walking and talking. Three or four very graphic pregnancy scenes. Very little action or dragons in the first six episodes.

The show looks good and the casting is okay but most of the show is filler. You can miss significant portions of this show and not miss anything because it's mostly filler anyway. It's good by todays standard of shows but the rating does not make sense to me at all.

Now that I've finished all of its even dumber. Like literally nothing happens. Barely any dragons at all. They are less than a side character. Over all episodes maybe a 10 minute compilation. They mostly land and fly off.",4
"This movie had me going for awhile with the whole, ""This is a true story...told exactly as it occurred."" That's the first joke in this wild crime movie that's so darkly comical. The characters of Fargo, North Dakota are portrayed as so dumb, I felt my own IQ diminishing. But this is what makes this movie so funny. I couldn't help but laugh out loud randomly throughout the movie at the awkward interactions between these dimwitted characters. The forced accents are both annoying and humorous, but the acting is pretty great. Frances McDormand's performance especially stands out. Her character is a very likeable and very pregnant police officer. She somehow manages to come across as both smart and naïve as she investigates this strange case of murder and kidnapping. This movie achieves what it was going for, making it an enjoyable experience with an interesting story and lots of laughs.",8
Best Movie. I have personally seen this movie and it's a Very Heart Touching Movie. I really like it.,10
"After being a fan of the first film, I went to see this in theaters with my brother back at 2011, hoping that it would not disappoint me. Turns out, during the summer of that year, it didn't disappoint me and has been one of my favorite movies that managed to be a lot more superior than the original.

Everything is great and it has the same things that made the first so compelling. The characters are as likable as ever. Po is still his hungry self, but he becomes more serious throughout the rest of the movie. While Mantis, Monkey, Crane, and Viper get little to no screen time, Tigress gets some character development in this movie and his interactions with Po is beyond terrific. Master Shifu, whose relationship with Po became the heart of the first film, is a bit underused, but it's great to see him in the film's climax (I'll get to that in a moment).

The new characters are great. Lord Shen may be a bit too similar to Tai Lung, but I think he's a cool villain and is easily one of the best. He kicks some butt with his cannons and his connection to Po and that he felt unloved by his parents explains the reason why he's been forcing his wolves to make them in the first place. His motives are great and Gary Oldman's creepy voice work explains; not to mention he has a great sense of humor. His henchman, the Wolf Boss, is great and his menacing appearance was so intense. Master Ox, Master Croc, and Master Rhino aren't given much to, but it's great to see them in action. The Soothsayer, the fortune telling goat, reminds me a lot of Rafiki from The Lion King, but the way she explains Lord Shen's reasons for murdering his panda family is good and while having a sense of humor, there's a creepy atmospheric feel about her.

The voice acting is great and it's awesome to Jack Black, Gary Oldman, Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu, David Cross, and Seth Rogen return along with some new ones. The action is great and the script is smart and strong much like the original film. The dialog is also sharp and witty at the same time.

The animation is great. The character designs are as solid as ever with realistic emotions and the texture of their fur is fabulous. The visuals are the strongest point in the animation. The Jade Palace and the Valley of Peace is beautiful and so is Gongmen City and Lord Shen's palace.

The best part, however, would have to go to the story. It's as emotional as the first and while it has bits of elements from that film, it continues the story and adds Po's back-story, which made me felt sorry for him it would leave you teary-eyed. It has a nice moral about having the rest of your story and that life goes on forever.

Overall, Kung Fu Panda 2 is a solid sequel with complex themes and a mature story line. With the anticipation for the third film coming in two more years, I will never stop watching this and the original film.",10
"Visually, it is stunning. It's actually hard to believe that it's CGI rather than real life. Other than that, the film isn't good. It's almost scene for scene and word for word exactly the same as the original, which seems entirely pointless. It's so safe that it's boring. The other huge issue is that none of the animals show any facial emotion, which adds to the flatness of the film, unfortunately.",4

"a quarter of a billion dollars to make,almost 2.5hrs long....for this?

Story goes Stark & Banner try to make a program to protect mankind, but cant. but then while they are out having a drink it magically happens by itself (never explained how).. It then becomes self aware (like Skynet) & decides to wipe out humanity (again never explained why) & goes to live in the internet (maybe while there it watched Thor or two girls one cup & decided to end us), magically making armies of Iron men-a-likes from who knows where (again no one explains why there's iron man factories all over the world to borrow). He keeps turning up now & then & the avengers keep killing them & him. though the avengers also destroy pretty much all the buildings in the various cities they turn up in (bit like team America) but also spend all their time trying to save all the humans in said cities as well (which becomes unintentionally hilarious considering the destruction the Avengers cause) well, that's the story....if you think that'll keep you engaged for nearly 2.5hrs you might enjoy it. the computer graphic effects are generally very good , 3D isn't great.",2
"Yes, I've only seen two episodes and yes I realise the premise is based on I Love Lucy crossed with Bewitched. Just one problem, those two shows were brilliant and funny. This series is a heap of rubbish and tries to be something that it will never be... a classic American Sitcom. To be fair I will give another couple of episodes a chance, it to keep me beyond that the show needs to pull a miracle, which sadly I don't think it will be able to deliver. Yet again Disney has failed dismally with established cannon.",1
"After more than 1,500 reviews I will simply state was bothered me the most about this film: the color. Come ON, guys! Life - especially war - is NOT a computer game. Therefore, it should NOT look like a computer game.

Dunkirk - as well as most of the north of France - is gray. Even when the sun is out. The first thing that struck me - as well as my sister, who's married to a Frenchman from Lille - was how colorful the place looked. It looked more like Antigua than Dunkirk. And what about the sea? The sea in that region is a permanent gray-green color. In this film it is a bright acqua blue that would put the Caribbean to shame. Even when it's cloudy. Everything scene is tinged by a cartoonish shade of blue. The first scene on the beach was so lifeless in its computer like quality it was awful.

I was so much looking forward to watching this film. But the Dragons and Dungeons aspect of the whole thing was so distracting I could not concentrate on the story. Pity because Dunkirk was one of the most remarkable episode of WWII. It should be treated with more respect. I guess this is, alas, further proof that the film industry had gone to hell in a plastic bag. I much prefer to watch films like The Longest Day than this mess.",2
"Can't see what all the fuss was about. This is just some mediocre movie about some guy having a mid-life crisis and not quite getting it together with some chick young enough to be his daughter.

I wasn't sure whether the film was trying to be a comedy or some arty statement about missed opportunities. Bill Murray does what Bill Murray does best - look bemused and be sarcastic. Scarlett Johansson does what she does best - walk around in her underwear and gaze seductively at the camera.

It's not a complete disaster of a movie. It is watchable and it does have its moments, funny ... yes, touching .... errmm no.",6

"Iron Man 2 is great, it has great action scenes, great actors and actresses for the carectors, and even very funny laughs. Robert Downy Jr. is Iron Man know one can pull off Iron Man like him. Mikey Rourke is a great villin he puts the whip in whiplash. I was a little disappointed that terrince howerd wasn't gonna be war machine but Don Cheadle pulled it off wonderfuly, he was the best choice for the role sine it wasn't howerd. Gwyneth Paltrow played a great role as pepper. Scarlett Johansson was hot, slick, and sexy, she was great for the guys to watch, and did a great role of black widow. Samule L. Jackson wasn't in Iron Man that much but he did to good as a nick fury character and think he can pull it off in the new nick fury movie thats supposed to be coming out in 2011. sam rockwell was a great actor in this movie he can really make you hate him, he can play a real ass whole. And the return of leslie bibb the sexy, hot, and slutty reporter from the first Iron man, shes only in it for about 10 to 20 min. but she was hot in that amount of time.

"""I must uneasy make, lest too light winning make the prize light."" is the core of Ready Player One and Halliday's contest, but not of this movie, I was too excited before watching the movie, although still kept my expectations as low as I could knowing that is not easy to achieve the greatness of the original book. I just finished the movie and I can't express how disappointed it was. They obliviated almost everything that made the book so incredible while forcing a real terrible version of the original plot. Instead of using great dialogues and characters development, tricky researchs by the puzzles, the hard competition and pride between Wade, his friends and IOI, the hard challenges to go through the gate and the questions around the OASIS and the real world, they did a Ready Player One background with a really bad plot, shallow development and great visual effects and CGI.",6
"As a die-hard Tarantino fan I felt a tad let-down by this, his latest effort (and last if we are to believe what he's been saying) It's just too self-referential, which makes it difficult to fully get into the characters and the plot....wait....was there a plot? There seemed to be a thin veneer of a plot, which is not un-Tarantino like; but it seemed to wander aimlessly at times. While it has it's moments (mostly of the surreal variety), I feel like this was a movie made for Hollywood. Almost an inside joke for Hollywood insiders....and a movie that only Hollywood could love.",6
"Based on the cast and the previews, I was expecting so much more. It looks flashy, but it's a hot mess. Such a waste of great talent!

This movie has the feel of a high school class play written during home room period by a committee of the theater arts students who weren't chosen for the set design and props teams.

If the movie had been executed as a self parody, it could have pulled it off, but it wasn't wacky enough. Daniel Craig's accent was absolutely horrible, but he somehow managed to keep a straight face throughout the film. I bet the outtakes were more entertaining.

The limited, repetitious music themes of the sound track lent an atmosphere of made-for-TV cheapness.",3
"Robert Downey Jr. is again brilliant as Tony Stark in Iron Man 2. While not as fresh or interesting as the first Iron Man this movie has much to recommend. The pacing is good and the characters are brought to life with some very good acting.

Gwyneth Paltrow reprises her role has Pepper Potts and has a love/loathing relationship with Tony. Again there is a list of bad guys Ivan Vanko(Mickey Rourke)who plays the main antagonist. His main beef with Tony is that his father was cheated by Tonies father. The other bad guy is Tonies industrial rival Justin Hammer(Sam Rockwell) who wants to get his hands on either Ivan(who has the knowledge to build an Iron Man suit) or one of Tonies Iron man suits to sell to the military. There is also a secret organization the Avengers headed by Colonel Nick Fury(Samuel L. Jackson)who sends Natalie Rushman(Scarlett Johansson)to protect him. This is the basic set up of the film.

What works well in this movie are good special effects and solid acting on all parts. The fact that Iron Man is vulnerable and actually getting sick from the poisons of being Iron man makes Tony act with abandonment which helps move the film along. Some of the disappointing parts of the film is that transitions seem unnatural and some of the charm that endeared us to Tony in the first film.

"While clunky at times and difficult to navigate without some effort, there is a giddy hope in Netflix's The Witcher that vastly outweighs its flaws. Unlike its benchmark predecessor in HBO's Game of Thrones, which boasted grounded human stories told in a gritty fantasy world, The Witcher is unafraid to tap into its most bizarre, fantastical (and at times, campy) elements. Elixirs and potions, portals and spells, wild beasts and mythical creatures grounded in lore; there's even a singing bard, lute and all.

If Game of Thrones gets credit for opening the fantasy door to genre newcomers, The Witcher deserves praise for storming through that open door, kicking its dirty boots onto table, and pouring itself a mug of Cintrian Faro.",9
"I don't know what they are thinking, anurag kashyap put his own agenda in season 2...unnecessary stretched scenes...some undeveloped characters...ruined the awesome show... actors are great...Guruji and Kusum Steals the show...saif ali khan is underrated actor....I am a big fan of his work..really expect something great after season 1..but all same bollywood melodrama..and..anurag kashyap just ruined the book and series for his own personal agenda",1
"i was surprised to see the good reviews this movie has had so far. i think a lot of people are blinded by the fact that it's so close to the comics. this movie is NOT the ultimate batman flick.. its not even a good movie at all. the editing is to fast, you don't' care about the batman at all, the villains are none existent (whats up with scarecrow being a big wuss that doesn do anything, except ride a horse) and the music is below average.

All the actors are on auto-pilot and i was annoyed by a lot of them. I can't believe Nolan did such a crappy job with this one.

i'm sticking with the Burton batman films, at least those were better cut and FUN to watch.

Batman Begins rapes Batman for me... shame....",3
"I thought that this series isn't horrible, but isn't as great as everybody is saying either.

I like Jenna Ortega as Wednesday, however, Gomez, Mortitia, and Fester were all badly cast in my opinion.

I also thought that all the characters were overdone and too stereotypical and dramatic. Enid and Wednesday contrasted each other too much for my liking and there was hardly any gray area in the characters personality.

The plot was cheesy and, again, too black and white. It was not very complex and there was barely any suspense. It reminded me of a rip-off, cheesier version of Harry Potter.

I think they could've turned it into a great series.

That being said, I did like the special effects and sets. As previously mentioned, I did enjoy Jenna Ortegas depiction of Wednesday in the film and think she did a great job acting.",4
"Don't let the hype of this movie deceive you. While it did not fall flat on its face, I can assure you that this film will not go down in history. It is not the 2001 of our generation.

That being said, Nolan's work here is admirable. He took a risk, which is not something you see everyday in Hollywood. As it is probably apparent to most people, the visual stimulation and scale of this film has raised the bar for the sci-fi genre. The acting of McConaughey and young Murph adds intrigue to otherwise paper-thin characters. The camera work was superb, and the exhibition of science such as wormholes and time dilation add a fresh spice to the formula.

That being said, this film has many flaws which weigh down its seemingly unbounded potential. Right off the bat, the thing which hindered the viewing experience the most for me was the constant exposition. It seems like every 30 seconds one of the characters has to explain exactly what the viewer should be thinking, spoon-feeding them, preventing their mind from being stimulated. My advice for the Nolan brothers is to show more, not tell more. This is where the major difference between Interstellar and 2001: a Space Odyssey falls. This movie would be like 2001 if it took 3 hours to tell, and the Starchild began explaining exactly what happened at the end of the movie.

Next, the writing was far from masterful. The characters were mostly 2-dimensional, especially the unneeded appearance in the 3rd act. The foreshadowing made the twists of the film predictable, instead of enjoyable. Many of the themes they chose to emulate come off as cheesy and unoriginal. The story-telling itself was a little clunky and uneven, as the director chose to simultaneously tell the stories of Earth and space. You get the fast-paced and high-energy excitement of adventures in another galaxy irregularly weaved with the slow drama of people on a dying Earth. Lastly, there are a few plot holes and leaps of faith you have to overcome to enjoy your time as a viewer, but if you can suspend your disbelief you should be fine.

All in all, it is no 2001. However, it surely was enjoyable to watch, although you may need to run to the bathroom halfway through. It is not a bad movie, but it is not a masterpiece either, which is what many people were expecting when they entered the theatre.",7

"Sherlock will not be an show which engages all. The often leisure like pacing, intricate narratives, and exposition heavy storytelling may turn off fans of more action oriented television

However my experiences watching Sherlock can be best described as simply 'breathtaken"". The chemistry between Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, the various engaging plots which demand you to keep coming back for more, despite the exceptionally procedural nature of the series, and the witty writing which makes you simultaneously cheer, laugh, and cry, all make Sherlock an spectacularly enjoyable series. The series isn't perfect. Some episodes are less interesting then others. If you are to be entranced as a viewer by episode such as The Reichenbach Fall, and His Final Vow, there are a few less intriguing and somewhat dull episodes of Sherlock you unfortunately have to sit through, but even the worst sherlock episodes provide enough enjoyment to justify sitting through them.",9
"This film was a poor attempt at a comedy with some action in between.

I say action, it was very predictable and wasn't entertaining at all. They painted Venom in a light that wasn't well received, sensitive and soft in parts.

As much as I like the fact he's connecting with Eddie, they really should've kept him mean.

It also seems, anybody can use Venom, very easily, the fact he flits about body to body, is not great, I know it's part of him and how he stays alive but the storyline and how they present it, is terrible.

Another disappointing sequel for me.",5
"I have read many reviews stating that the first half is good but second half isn't. Sadly, it comes from the entertainment junkies- a section of audience whom FAN is not even meant to entertain. FAN is a different film, intense and serious. The light-hearted moments in the first half can be counted as a bonus. The real fun of the movie begins in second half as the movie gives what it had promised to deliver- intense drama about a star chasing his own fan and fan busy taking his revenge. Fan is Shah Rukh Khan's triumph. The movie will be remembered as the one which brought us back the King Khan we all had been waiting for; not the one we saw in movies like 'Happy New Year' or 'Dilwale'. Apart from Shah Rukh Khan, who is terrific as both the fan Gaurav and the superstar Aryan, Shriya Pilgaonkar wins hearts in the limited scenes given to her.",9
"I found the show to be mediocre at best. Maybe if you were into chess, you'd appreciate it more. But for me, it was a slightly entertaining story about an orphan who participates in competitions.

It's fun to watch if you're bored and have nothing else to watch, but I wouldn't recommend it to a friend.",5
"Not my style of Romantic movie. I like the cheesy, fun and easy going romance movies. This movie is pretty slow and boring. Even then, I could never get attached to the main characters. They are both weird and never really showed that true ""I'll do anything for you"" love. I also don't think it did a good job of the whole ""they are so in love that they always fall for each other, even after their memories are gone"". Apparently I'm in the minority here but it just wasn't my style.",5
"I was supremely disappointed during this entire film. There are a few good lines in the movie, but it is not nearly as clever or as funny as Super Bad, Knocked Up, or 40 Year Old Virgin. I think I may have gone into this movie with very high expectations since I had heard such good reviews on it, or maybe it's because I just may have not been in the mood, but I can always throw in one of the movies mentioned above, sick or not, and enjoy it.

You will recognize a lot of the actors in the movie, but they are just not funny!!! I know that a lot of people that were in the theater with me thought it was great, but trust me...after REALLY enjoying the movies I mentioned above, this one is just a horribly not funny movie at all. I couldn't wait for it to end, and I will never ever see it again. This was a true waste of my money and time, and actually the FIRST time I disagreed w/ the ratings that IMDb has posted for a movie!",3
"I was expecting more of a ""Taken"" style movie, but this is nothing quite like it. It's more of a gun fight action movie but well made and even some gun-less fights, also well choreographed. The whole thing feels very real and suspenseful. Action wise this movie is packed. Story wise, I wouldn't say exactly original but it's not your Hollywood cliché either. It's not a happy movie, you might want something more upbeat after it. I found a a little disappointing but still glad I watched, especially since it stars Chris Hemsworth, he's not even fat anymore :) one thing it seriously lacks is more women, but it's understandable why.",7

"ALL 10 STARS!!!! This movie does not shy away from anything. It is bold and full of rage (as the title says it) with hint of subtle laughter after every 5mins. The music will take you to another level in every situation. Based on true incidents in the coal belt of India, this movie will show you the truth behind news and claims of our political leaders. It will show you the horror in which people lived during past 60 years in Dhanbad area. Go for awesome acting, music and thrill. Overall, a different and unexpected experience.

PS: For the people in India who feel that taking kids to a R-rated movie is OK for their 'early education', this movie will show you why you should never do that. Grow up and let the kids grow up properly too.",10
"I will almost never stop watching a movie, but this was so bad, I actually gave up. Some of the performances were solid, but the overall story was just plain unbelievable, and bad. Not even worth the hour and a half I gave it. I really wanted to like it, and my favorite performances were by Jamie Lee, and the really cool actor who started his journey in Temple of Doom. I was happy to see Jamie Lee Curtis finally win an Oscar, so many great performances she was snubbed for, but she finally got one, and I would say her performance was a highlight of my wasted time watching this strange film, it really could have been monumentally better, but casting was it's greatest accomplishment.",2
"This movie is just... alright. I don't have anything positive nor negative to say other than the cast being it's obvious positive. Seeing Daniel Craig in a non James Bond role is a little weird for me, so I guess I'm still trying to get used to that. I truly don't have much more to say than this. I will say that my review shouldn't really matter to anyone else, because everyone has different opinions and tastes and as far as I can tell, this movie is generally praised by most people. If I were anyone else, I would just wait for it to come on a steaming service because I don't think it's worth spending money on. All in all, I guess it's OK time killer.",5

"What would make a grown man watch 'Barbie'? I've been asking myself this since I heard about the release of this live-action Barbie film. Isn't this just for girls who idolize Barbie dolls, or women who have fond memories of playing with Barbie dolls? You have to immerse yourself in a girl's world to fully understand the film.

I guess it was the hype that prompted me to watch 'Barbie'. In the opening narration, the film explains why the Barbie dolls became such a phenomenon and I found this interesting. I never thought about it (maybe because I didn't play with dolls!!), but the Barbie dolls were apparently the first adult dolls on the market. All other dolls prior to Barbie were baby dolls. Interesting.

Margot Robbie stars as Stereotypical Barbie. Yes, it does get confusing, because ALL the females are called Barbie and ALL the men are called Ken. Ryan Gosling stars as (stereotypical) Ken, and might I say he is looking mighty fine! Ryan is in excellent shape and would indeed make me want to play with him...erm, the doll, I mean...oh, whatever...

Back to the movie. So, the Barbies and the Kens live in harmony in the perfect world of Barbieland. Life is a party and they're all blissful. Until Barbie starts having thoughts of death - a thought that never crossed their minds before. Barbie then starts to malfunction, and is ordered by Weird Barbie to go to the real world to find out who is playing with her. Ken decides to join her on her journey and so these 'dolls' enter the real world.

Something you have to keep in mind when watching 'Barbie' is that it is made in the way girls would play with their dolls. It does not follow a similar narration to most movies out there. I think many viewers might not understand this concept. I honestly went in with low expectations, and was pleasantly surprised by how entertaining I found the film. Ok, then having said that, I enjoyed the first two acts far more than the third act.

For me, it felt like the film fell apart during the third act. It became a mess in a way, slapstick, and also far too feminist. Fair enough, this is about girl dolls, but for me as a man it became offensive in a way. I also believe this could send out a very wrong message to girls. If it wasn't for the chaotic final act, I would have enjoyed the film much better as a whole.

One has to admire the film's incredible production design. I predict 'Barbie' will receive an Oscar nomination for Best Production Design. The sets are beautiful and colourful, as if toys came to life. I also thought Margot Robbie was well cast as Barbie. Ryan Gosling is far too good an actor for the rather silly role of Ken, and I believe any actor would have sufficed as Ken.",5

"I've watched this movie more times than I can count and I always come back to the very first fight scene in the movie where ""Coolie"" catches the lit lighter mid air in tune with the music. He then proceeds to demolish the axe gang members one by one while his brothers in arms join him in the fight.

Without further knowledge one would think that these 3 and especially Coolie was our main protagonists only later to find out this wasn't the case.

Even though the movie takes lot's of liberties when it comes to the laws of physics the movie still portrays accurate martial arts when it comes to fighting which I love.

All in all I strongly encourage you to watch this movie and make and set an opinion of your own. Enjoy :)",8
"I think that this is a good series because in high school everyone has a very difficult life and in this show it shows how difficult and hard it could be. I love that you have a hate/love relationship to every character in this show and it is sad but at the same time not sad so that is why I love this. One of the reasons why its so good is that you get so obsessed and dragged into the story, while it is a good thing it tends to go over a line. Lots of people have that kind of problem with this show because everything is done so well that it really feels like real life. The series shows relevant situations that could happen or has happened in almost everyone's life's and the production and storyline is very impressive. The events are tragic and very unfortunate but somehow could be very real. One of the best and the thing that makes this so real is yeah of course the storyline and production but I think most of all the acting. I must say I was so impressed by the actors and actresses in this show that I've now seen several of the other movies and shows they are in and the casting for the roles and characters is super good.",8
"I truly cannot understand why anyone would call this a good film. Fancy special effects, yeah, plenty many lots... but special effects do not make a film. It also needs a storyline that doesn't shoot in every direction, left, right, backwards and forwards throughout the entire film for lack of substance.

OK, so the dude wants to plant an idea in someone's brain. Got that after a minute or so of viewing. And then what? It feels too much like a storm in a teacup.

Frederic Dard (french novelist) used to describe futuristic gadgets by means of expressions like ""he's pointing a gloombobber with spiral condensing palchromium in my direction"" but, being a talented writer, he had the good taste of limiting such eccentric nonsense to a single sentence per book, whereas Inception is made up of nothing but that from beginning to end. Each time the dream-team runs into a potential nag, there comes a gloombobber out of a hat. Too predictable after a while. ""This can't be done in a three-dimensional space... no problem, we'll do it in seven!"" would be an adequate tag-line for Inception.

I couldn't follow the storyline and am not convinced there actually was one. It reminded me of the Brownian movement observed at the surface of a pot of boiling water. It was so confusing that switching actors every two minutes for the part of the main character would have gone unnoticed in this maelstrom of nonsensical garbage.

In conclusion I don't see any point in watching Inception unless you're extremely high on speed or a fan of special effects who doesn't give a whoopdeedo about well-constructed stories in the first place.",2
"I'm giving this film a 6/10 because that's honestly what it deserves. When voting officially opened for this movie here on IMDb, it was at a 9.8/10. Are you kidding me? I'm sorry but I'm not going to be one of those people who just worships the ground Nolan walks on. I'm dead serious when I say Nolan could film himself taking a dump and people would rave about it.

This movie is decent. It's better than your average war movie. A six out of ten is an appropriate rating for this film. The acting is good, which the film heavily relies on since there isn't a ton of dialogue. This is also probably Nolan's shortest film, which is also nice since he doesn't make you sit there and subject you to all sorts of his self-proclaimed ""mind-f***s"" and twists that he tries to throw at you. This movie doesn't try to out-think itself, which is fitting since a war movie doesn't need to be like that.

All in all, it does what a war movie should do. Is it worthy of its current rating of 9/10 on IMDb? Absolutely not. Is it better than average? Yes.",6
"I didn't expect much of the series, seeing it all started with the 8-year old kids...kept watching just to find out who was to blame for all the.mess. First two seasons were acceptable,- action, logical development of events, until Russian evil communists and lesbians came in....i realize it's just a work of fiction, but even made up tales have to be reasonable and non-provocative. Acting was good, but feel sorry for the kids who had to deal with monsters while filming...though it demonstrates what true friendship is like and sacrifices parents are capable of when it comes to their kids, weird relationships between family memebers and within community (esp,schools) is too obvious.",6
"I had high hopes for this movie. I looked forward to a humorous yet thoughtful consideration of a fascinating question: If you could ease the pain of a breakup by eliminating all memory of the beloved, would you? And if you did, would it be good for you emotionally?

Man, what a disappointment. The first problem was Clementine, one of the most repellent female characters I've ever seen on screen. Narcissistic, hostile, whiny, self-centered, ignorant, humorless, cruel -- who could spend 10 minutes with such a woman, let alone fall in love with her? Yet this movie asks us to believe that two men find her irresistible. Huh?

Then there's the disjointed plotting. I suppose the film is supposed to evoke the dream state. Clearly, though, viewers have a lot of trouble figuring out basic chronology, not to mention how things remain between the lovers at the end. I personally felt as if the director were screaming: ""Look at me! Look at me! See how clever and original I am?"" Kind of like Clementine, as a matter of fact.

The title is superb, and I enjoyed hearing the bimbo Mary mangle Alexander Pope's name while reciting it. But the movie is thoroughly unworthy of that lovely line.",3
"I remember the hype over this movie and the build up to the Oscars. I too, got caught up in the ""isn't this marvelous"" stage, until I saw it the third time -- well after the Oscars and Tom Hanks' win # 2. DO I think he deserved it -- yes, but the movie itself doesn't stand up. The movie itself is sweet but the historical edits -- and pure impossiblity of the story doesn't help. The tone of the film isn't fantastical enough to carry such a story -- it's too far in the realm of the real to carry something as impossible, and this effect is far better achieved in the book and in examples of films like ""Big Fish."" Overall, the players are what make this film good. Never mind Hanks but Robin Wright is perfectly understated as Jenny and Gary Sinise was my personal favorite as Lt. Dan, but the story, direction tone and absolutely horrific historical editing, prevent this movie from being brilliant. In fact, should anyone ever consider this the best movie of it's year? One might, until they see ""The Shawshank Redemption.""",7

"I saw it yesterday and I am sad to say that it did not live up to my expectations. It was a movie that I expected to like and wanted to like but it just came up short.

There was a lot to like but there was much that was superfluous and too many ways that I believe it could have been made better. I believe that more context would have useful. A few lines of introduction as to how the situation developed was not enough. Somehow there should have been some way to convey more vividly what a disaster it would have been had things turned out differently. Only passing mention was made to the decision by Hitler to halt his tanks. The possibility of a reversal of that decision, by all accounts, created a sense of impending doom over those who were aware of the situation. This could have been used for more dramatic effect, of which there was otherwise not much.

Another facet of the story of Dunkirk which I think got extremely short shrift was the assembling of the flotilla of small boats which crossed the Channel for the rescue. To many people this was THE main story of Dunkirk. It almost appeared that the side story about this was inserted so that the acting talents of Mark Rylance could be put to use. It seemed to add nothing to the main story.

The battle scenes were great cinematography but I don't think there would have been lost if there had been fewer of them.

I often feel guilty when I am critical of a movie like this but I don't think that simply making a movie about a serious topic does not always make for a good one.",7

"OK first of all, people seem to be rating not the film, but its special effects and 3D. Its got outstanding visual effects and ill give it that but, that's it. Nothing much more. Its a over used, tired, old, basic action movie plot that has been used more times than my mothers hair brush. Crippled guy (boohoo) meets hot woman but something keeps them apart (in this case its cos ones a 10 foot tall Smurf), and there is a whole war going on in the background. Doesn't that sound familiar? * COUGH* Pocahontas * COUGH*

OK you know what this would be good as. A game, but they made one of it, and it sucked :| (suffered from cash cow movie tie in game syndrome).

Really it looks nice on the top but when you dive down deeper you only find a bland over used core.

"I finally watched brilliant director's Christopher Nolan, ""Interstellar"", and, i found it rather enjoyable, extremely well photographed, with a style, and, skills rich of the uncommon finesse, so typical of Nolan's filmography, of which i am such a great admirer. I love ""Memento"", his first major film in 2001, starring a phenomenal Guy Pearce, and, i have seen all the following efforts, always finding them, extremely accomplished, and mature, even when going for more commercial fare, such as the Batman's franchise: in fact, i thought that Nolan managed always to bring his vision, and, his greater talent to the purpose of creating a major movie, aimed to all mainstream audiences, intelligently well made, and, way above the standards, while always maintaining a narration rich of invention, and, creative, innovative visuals, and, most of all, with top notch scripts. I also loved ""Inception"" which had gotten, if i remember, a mixed reception. I found it extremely clever, written with uncommon genius, and, considering not only the more obvious needs of glossy, wide distributed entertainment, but resulting as a great film shot with a virtuoso direction, of mind blowing, and powerful effect, not only presenting an unique, and appalling show, but, also handling feelings, and character's development, with an extremely touching grip. I did not feel as excited, watching ""Interstellar"", though, a movie i did not find bad by any means, but, that, for me, lacked the same profound, powerful strength, Nolan had previously shown, even in the Batman's movies, always so infused with his impeccable vision. ""Interstellar"" feels like a great show, but falls rather flat at the end, lacking emotional, cohesive force, and, feeling unaccomplished, despite its incredibly skilled crew, and, budget, its powerful presentation, and, special effects.I think the script lacks Nolan's usual personal, and, deeper attention to all characters, and, often relies strangely on some solutions, that feel derivative, and, very little original. Again, I will keep it short and sweet, since there are already so many reviews on here, that have said it all already, some feeling the same i have, and many others, who have instead appreciated the show. This movie for me failed to bring the same, unique, great direction, and writing, one would expect by Nolan, and, over all, it feels like since the get go, the main idea wasn't the most interesting, nor the most innovative, and, its further development did not help to make it into the great movie, one would have expected. However, it needs also to be said, that, considering the painful offer, and, the even worse level of production value, and new ideas, found in most American movies, in the past few years, even a not such accomplished, and, not so inspired film, such as ""Interstellar"", does make for, at least, a more well produced, and, entertaining, big budget, genre's production.",6
"Adam Sandler tentative to play the role of an clumsy and ridiculos detective is so cringy and unworthy to watch ,his humour is so consumed sometimes you feel like you know the joke he is going to use moments before he says it.It looks like he doesn't try to much to create something funny,the only positive thing on this film was Aniston",2
"A movie based on the life of Master Ip Man, who's most well-known as the popularizer of Wing Chun style of kung fu and as the teacher of Bruce Lee. The movie follows his life in the years leading up to World War Two and his exploits during that conflict. The movie is notably anti-factual, but in an honest way. Director Wilson Yip has outright stated that he put the needs of a good story before historical accuracy. When it's done this blatantly, I cannot find any fault in it.

The movie mixes martial arts with historical drama, and I do have to admit that the former of these two aspects works much better than the latter. As a period piece the film works okay. The costumes and locations are interesting, the cinematography is at times beautiful and although the script is clearly from the point of view of the Chinese, the Japanese are not depicted as outright monsters, like they sometimes are.

But if we're all being honest here, it's martial arts side of things, which really elevates this movie above its peers. Donnie Yen has a deserved reputation as one of the best in the business, and this right here is one of his finest films. Add in the fact that the film had a lot of great background help, including Ip Man's own son, Ip Chun, working as a consultant, and you have one fine martial arts fest in your hands. The fight scenes in this film are gorgeous. Highly choreographed, beautifully shot, just all around beautiful to witness. And they're all so different from one another. You never feel like you're watching the same match twice.

Ip Man is a great watch for all fans of the martial arts genre. Donnie Yen gives one of his finest efforts, both as a martial artist and as an actor. Sit back and enjoy a world where everyone is kung fu fighting.",7
"Am not sure anyone will bother to read this review as there are 1000s already but I side with those that do not quite understand the high praise. Yes, it's beautifully, if traditionally, filmed. Yes, it's well-scripted and well acted. But one feels like this is a movie one has seen already. My wife and I are moviegoers, love the art of movie making, watch many many, from local to foreign. But we had to try twice to watch this one and never could last to the end. Either we don't get it or the high praise, as is often the case unfortunately these days, stems from a bandwagon phenomenon. Too bad.",3

"I was in such a good mood before going into this movie, so what happened? Well I don't have just one answer for the question that kept repeating in my mind, but I can say that the forcing of a cheesy scene over and over again, certainly didn't help me. The laughs were forced and definitely not able to save the film for me. I just can't say I would recommend any of my friends to see it and that's a sad feeling, because ei really wanted to like it.",5
"The Irishman was slow, plodding, and confusing if you don't know mafia history.",5
This movie is alright good cast with a nice plot but this fiom just didn't do it for me I didn't like some editing choicees and I hated every character and just didn't care about the rest because they where boring. This film is a comedy but its not that funny basic and simple but still fun.,6
"At this point Ryan should just switch to making ads, because he can't act. Sure he can be himself, but that gets old fast, and should be reserved for Deadpool. Movie feels like it is missing flow, just terrible.",2
"I don't usually write reviews but I felt it necessary because of the juvenility of other reviewers. This movie is an average horror/thriller. It's 5.9 rating seems to be pretty close to accurate. It is not a great Annabelle movie but it is actually better than the original Annabelle movie.

The main problem too many reviewers have is that they go in with specific expectations which never leads to an appropriate review. The movie was not marketed as an Ed & Lorraine movie and those giving 1/10 reviews are just people being unnecessarily immature. This was not a TERRIBLE movie that had absolutely no entertainment value at all which is what a 1 or 2 star rating suggests.

If someone does not like a movie, they should just say so and give an explanation as to why in broad terms if they can do so without spoilers and if they have to use them, they can flag it.

Personally I do not understand why some people need to give movies absurdly low ratings just because they may be upset they spent a whole $10 to watch it. I hope these people can still retire after having to spend that much money.

Finally, it's a movie. Too many people take movies too seriously or fail to suspend disbelief. If people just tried to enjoy a movie without pre-established expectations as to what a show is going to be or should be and just relax & not take themselves so seriously and let little things bother them they might come to realize what the purpose of movies are: entertainment. It's hard to be entertained when one thinks about a movie as if they were watching them as professional critics.",6
"If you haven't played the game at all, it might be a decent show to watch. If you have, you will probably see it as a downgrade. The characters are way less charismatic in the TV show than the video game. That's quite disappointing if we look at the almost 1:1 adaptation.

The Last Of Us has been released 3 times (original, remaster, remaster-remaster) and apparently still needs a TV show...(???)

The character design for the monsters is well done and the environment overall is atmospheric. If you really REALLY don't want to play a video game, even on the easiest difficulty, then watch this show because the story is still interesting. The real question though is: who hasn't played the game yet and needed this show? Alternatively, why make this? What's the creative value in re-releasing something a thousand times? No value. All for money. Low effort, easy cash.",6
"So I felt like this was a ""Saving Private Ryan"" rip-off... but not nearly as good. Instead of a squad of men out to save a private, a corporal and private are ordered to save a brother and 1600 soldiers. And my first thought, only a corporal and a private are used to save a division of soldiers? Why did this get so much praise? The cinematography was incredible, the suspense and buildup were enthralling, but that's were it stopped. The story was not at all believable, the characters weren't relatable, it made the German's look like the worst shots in the war, the military tactics were deplorable, and the ending was almost humorous. Saving Private Ryan is the hallmark. Band of Brothers is a close second. Even Fury was far more interesting. Other than the visuals, this was just okay... and those English accents were hard to understand!",7
"I confess I don't like gangster movies. As such, I normally would never consider seeing this film but it has received so much hype that I figured that maybe it would be different from the rest: It wasn't. There is no denying the quality of the production - everything about it is executed to perfection, great direction, beautifully shot, excellent acting but, it is a gangster movie and I just can't relate to it. Although there is a degree of interest from an historical perspective - particularly matters relating to the union movement, I am not from the USA and they don't mean as much to me as they otherwise may have. I did find the film a little difficult to follow at times - often the case with gangster flicks, and at 3 1/2 hours in length it does tend to drag a little. I think it may have been better reduced to about 2 hours. A lot of reviewers have rated this movie very highly, Ratings that it probably deserves for its quality but at the end of day, a movie is primarily intended to entertain - something that it failed to do for me. As I say, I don't like gangster movies and in hindsight, I should have avoided it. The five stars are for the film's quality, If I was rating it for entertainment value alone it would have received just one.",5
"The movie took me the better part of six hours to watch because I kept walking off to do other things. The first third was standard Bay erratic cuts, explosions and discontinuity which made the story hard to follow and made it difficult to figure out any of the character's motivations.

The background for the characters was not well fleshed out, the characters didn't develop well, the story was just flat and trite.",1
"It started well, then some stuff happened and then it finished.",2
The movie is to long and wasn't as good as they made you think. Just because you got all these famous people to star in the movie doesn't automatically make it good.,2
"I don't even know where to start (just like the writers of these series obviously haven't known). I'm not sure if this is bad because of poor last minute DIY Halloween costumes or uninteresting dialogs. Sometimes it looked like just a bunch of words actors just babbling out without thinking. Not one character is portrayed deep. In moments I found myself not even interested what happens with some characters. Nothing is done right, timeline is especially confusing. It looks like this series are made for teenage girls (because all the girl drama, finding themselves, forced romance stories...) but it's definitely not since it has so much nudity. I literally do not know who the audience for Witcher is.",1
Best war based movie in India with a true depiction of war field and those drone and camera shots during firing were just mesmerising. VFX work of war scenes were highly precise. Even the first 5 minutes of this movie will crave you for what next. Making this movie in terms of the chapter was a cool concept to get each detail of before and after of soldiers life. Movie runs too high on emotions which makes it unreal sometimes but this is part and parcel of the experience.,10
It's got 30% Sam raimi - 70% Disney marvel.......the movie is NOT good - if you don't believe it - watch the movie but it's not good - the story is senseless (maybe because it's Disney marvel who decide what goes into these movies even when they have good directors.......) the CGI is not good - I see so many people agreeing with me - but this is BAD marvel......not even mid road marvel - I think the only thing it will be remembered for is being a bad movie in the marvel cinematic universe!!!!!!,3
"What a wasted Opportunity after an Excellent First part...

No excuses really to waste the decent name this franchise has made for itself over the last few years especially Annabelle part One was very decent indeed and got the average viewer really interested through decent storyline above anything else because it's all about the story first and foremost and don't let anyone convince you otherwise... Please rest assured that any positive reviews on this movie are purely biased and misleading as there is no way in hell any even half intellectual viewer could bypass the fact the movie has the lamest of stories ever produced on a big budget movies as this movie makes The Nun look like The Exorcist that's how incredibly bad it is and anyone seeing otherwise is either without taste or on a payed agenda to promote the movie through reviewing here and instead of giving a purely honest opinion decided to the exact opposite!!!!!! Going back to the importance of story telling or storyline, Yes the directing and editing are very important but the story is what makes the movie watchable to the average intelligent viewer and that applies to all genres... Back to this movie my honest optimistic assessment is that there is no story whatsoever and it is only based on the lamest of scares possible even a 7 years old child would laugh at and think it's stupid... Don't understand how people get paid millions of dollars for acting directing so on so forth and end up coming up with something this poor is beyond me... I don't know maybe I'm a genius but I already have two excellent and totally different storyline that jumps to mind just talking about it I wonder what I could come up with if I actually sit down and actually think it... I don't know what or why it is but it's almost been 6 months since I last saw a decent movie in any genre and I'm pretty sure alot of you never thought about it but a movie critic like myself who gets paid to air his opinion on movies and other acting ventures and one who absolutely track any decent movie that comes out in all genres find those last 6 months equivalent to the global financial crunch that happened back in 2008 but this time it's movies that has fallen terribly low and only God knows when it is next that a decent well made engaging movie comes out in any genre because I'm seriously getting bored and about to explode from the lack of creativity in Hollywood right now...",4
"I know what you're thinking: ""It can't be that bad, it has action and Ryan Reynolds"". Well, you're mistaken.

You will need to turn off your brains to ignore how stupid this move is, but at the same time you will need the full strength of your brain to try and follow the so called ""plot"" with the fast cuts and poor editing.

The only thing going for this movie is its body count, so if that's what you're looking for, I would recommend putting the movie on mute and fast forwarding to those parts.",3
"This science fiction adventure film set in the 2150s has very good special effects - but that's its only appeal. There's little else to enjoy in this rambling and insubstantial extraterrestrial fairy tale.

I can't understand why this is the world's highest-grossing film of all time.",2
"This is a real tedious Hoffa-theory snoozer. Pacino is flat and DeNiro once again plays himself. If it weren't for Joe Pesci, this film would warrant a minus-1.",2
Besides finding this show fantastic i cant stress enough the fact that it has the best intros i've ever seen (until it shows the title). The combination of great picked music with the small stories they tell is amazing.,8
Good serials containing a lot of fan & a lot of thinkingggg.....,9
"I actually read up on it after because it had the feeling it was an adaption from a novel or something. Which it was apparently. But I think everyone knows what I mean that has read a book and then seem the movie. Those are the ??? Parts of the movie. The film felt like that and a play, not a movie. It tried to get its charm from the cinematography and the soundtrack but you can only hear a fog horn so many times before it is just background noise. I can see how some people would like it for those traits but most movie goers aren't like that. Was waiting for the final scene to tie everything together but didn't happen. So for me the lighthouse crashed on the rocks.",3
"I've never been a fan of watching sub titled foreign language film. It may be in part explained by not really associating with people who do enjoy foreign language films. Anyway with it's success at the Oscars, Parasite seemed to be deserving of a watch, so saw it on the big screen a couple of days ago.

Stylistically it seemed very similar to a Tarantino movie to me. The characters were gripping and the dialogue was excellent. Would have been so much more enjoyable if I understood Korean though. The movie explores the tensions in the class divide which is obviously a universal theme which everyone understands. The sets are excellent and so realistic you can imagine how you'd feel yourself yourself in the scenes.

It's well worth a watch and if you don't share my dislike of subtitles you'll probably love this movie.",5
There's clearly a man dressed up like a woman in this show and I don't understand why? Is it for comedic purposes? It really falls flat. I heard this show was good but this casting choice seems really odd and took me out of the show. His voice is so deep it's like he's not even trying to hide the fact he's playing a woman. Is that the joke?,4
"Opulent, I think the critics have used the right words to describe this film. Indeed, Jodhaa Akbar is a true winner in all senses. It keeps you glued to your seats from the very first moment. And even after 3+ hours, it steel keeps you mesmerized and leaves you with going ""wow!"" Wow. That's how I would describe this film. The last time I watched a good film was TZP, but that was a totally different story. This time, I'm taken into a timeless classic – if it's too much to tell so. Jodha Akbar is one of the classics you'd want to archive for the next say, 100 years. The last time we had a classic was Mughal e Azam, and so many years later, we have another classic that takes no less height than K Asif's old classic. The only common thing the two films share is the Akbar-Jodha plot line and grandeur and magnificence. But that would be very wrong to compare the two movies, and lets not do so.

The best part of this Ashutosh Gowariker flick is of course, the captain of the ship himself. Hritik Roshan gives his best performance so far and to all those who thought he couldn't be taken seriously, then think again. Because this actor has a lot of potential and he has finally proved that he is physically and mentally built for any challenging role like this one. Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan mesmerizes us throughout the film. I know I'm using the ""mesmerize"" word too much but that's the most relevant word I can find for this film.

Larger than life production design, great costumes and jewllery, the opening and final battle sequences and the Azeem-O-Shaan Shahenshah song choreography – man, that was really something! Only that one particular song can prove director Gowariker's potential, but we know he is the man of substance and we needn't validate that.

Overall, I'd give my nod. Grab a DVD and be mesmerized for the rest of my life.

:) Overall rating 9.3/10",7
"I don't understand the praise that has been heaped upon this film. It starts out slow, gets pretty good in the middle and then ends with a whimper with a very underwhelming final reveal. I think it's adored because it's slightly woke. It seems these days that SJW checklists are more important that good writing, acting, etc.",5
"Why are there good reviews for this... This is nothing but intense, loud mouthed, shouting & screaming with seemingly no intent from start to finish other than to annoy you, cause high blood pressure & genuinely give you a headache!!

Had to force through the latter section to see if anything useful actually happens.

Highly recommend... IF you enjoy watching loud, annoying people have a very public domestic for over 2hrs.",2
"I wish this was better.

Too many useless boring gunshot kills with bad cgi blood.

An original fight scene with 1 or 2 would be much more interesting than just letting 6 guys run blindly to him, unafraid of him (looks like they don't know who he is) while he just shoots them down..in virtually every action scene..

They intend to make the fights realistic but it also fails.

I appreciate the long takes/cuts in fights but it also shows john wick is slow, not sharp.

I understand john wick is a man of few words but then at least make some noteworthy original dialogue. Not dumb dialogue we heard 1000 times already. Really.

John wick is a badass but he just surrenders and accept the mission instead of refusing it.

Should have been a more intelligent action film with different / diverse action, better story and dialogue and john wick should have been sharper, more original, more clever, faster, with piercing eyes and strong will and not so monotone throughout the whole film.",4
"Hollywood has pumped out a plethora of war movies. None have really stood out to me and Dunkirk is no exception. What I will say however is I love anything Christopher Nolan directs and his touches on the story really help this movie stand out. I commend it for the lack of blood that normally encapsulates your typical war film. It had moments that genuinely had me on the edge of my seat. I also applaud Nolan for his ability to intertwine three stories and have them all meet up seamlessly in the end. All in all, it's not a bad watch but is lackluster in the presence of other movies. Also Harry Styles is in it so it can't be all that bad.",7
"I think this movie is trying to do too many things at once. Character list got extended to the point I can't remember why I should care about who and what they are up to. It's like adding sub plots that seem strangely meaningless yet they are impacting the story in a way i do not get (I am not that verse in Harry Potter universe)

In the first movie the bi polarity of Good vs Evil worked better than in this. The morality has become ""flexible"" and the characters are making decisions that will probably have bigger effect in Part 3 than they are now.

Despite the negatives I list it is still a good addition to the trilogy and universe, but it is clearly the in between movie that is supposed to setup the final movie. It just does not work that well as a standalone part.",7
Simple story. Imbd rating given by everyone is too (9) is too much. Deserves not more than 7. But still you can watch for time pass.,6
"I thing the best way to be fair about this movie is to write Pros and Cons. Pros: great acting, beautiful soundtrack, gives you a chance to appreciate life and a look back to history. Its touching and emotional. Cons: I usually love to go to the movies to enjoy a nice romance-comedy or action, so i am not used on such type of movies to be honest. So i found it a little bit sad, bloody story with sometimes excagerated violence details. So if you are looking for a refreshing break from work and life (as i usually do when i go to the movies), see another thing. Overall, I think its a movie worth watching, but may be on DVD when it gets released is enough for me.",7
"Honestly around 2017 I grew tired of everything that came from Marvel. Some of the stories can be ok, but all the useless action and overplayed tropes made it impossible for me to watch ANY of it ever again.

Until today! Started Loki and finished it in one go. Yes, there are some overused tropes and yes, there is action.

BUT THE STORY IS SO... GOOD! - the characters are appealing, human, sensitive. I literally couldn't stop watching.

On a side note! Owen Wilson does an incredible job with this show, he brings a rhythm that keeps you watching. W

Worth it even if just for his parts.",9
Uri can be compared with black hawk down. But melow drama could be spared by the director because it does not fit the movie and it also somehow lacks the hollywood style of thriller cause we always know what is going to happen in next scenes. And the narendra modi was not looking to narendra modi he was something else.So better work done but much can be improved!!!!,9
"This movie is well made & funny. I enjoyed it. It had alot of good acting and an interesting plot.

There wasn't anything confusing about it. I've tried to figure out what the bad reviews are referring to but the whole movie made sense. I think the only reason this movie has poor reviews is because the director is disliked, and I don't really think that's fair because ratings should reflect the quality of the actual movie, instead of the moral quality of the director. If that was the case I'd be giving it a low rating too but the movie was entertaining & had actors I like so I wanted to add a fair review.",8
What is this movie? Who edited it? Even novice Youtubers edit better than this nightmare. None of the actors had any idea what they were doing. Netflix please stop making full length feature films just stick to tv series. Watch it only when you are assembling an Ikea furniture and this movie is playing in the background.,1
"No spoilers:

From a scene in the first fifteen minutes of the movie: Few movies have made me hateful. However the blaming of a character for the death of ten people when that very action saved a hundred people...w...t....F! Not to mention the complete disregard for the fact that the character had not intended for anyone to die at all......Sooo much in the movie revolves around this event ...and so...just...grrrrrr.

I have loved almost every MCU movie. Civil War and Age of Ultron are two blemishes on the stretch of great movies for me though. I liked all three Thors, all of Cap's, both of GOTG, both Ant-mans, all of the Spider-mans including Far From Home, and I even enjoyed all of the Iron Mans. I know lots of people disliked Iron Man two and three, a lot disliked Thor Dark World, and a lot disliked GOTG 2. I liked them all myself. However the bickering and blame game drama of Civil War and Ultron just contaminated those two movies for me a bit too much.

I detested the dumbing down of the governments. You see this in lots of hollywood movies. At least in Transformers Bumblebee the dumbing down was done in a humorous manner that sort of made fun of itself. This one just treated people who work in the gov't like selfish corrupt idiots.

I saw this way back when it was in theaters. I remember how I was just annoyed how they dumbed down the characters just to make them argue. It just infuriated me that they were all just bickering with each other and being idiots. Not the heroes I wanted to see. A bunch of blame game out-of-character nonsense. What is worse is that the arguments weren't even rational. It is like they just needed to create some fake drama filler as if this were a stupid reality tv show.

There WERE lots of GOOD things in this movie, but I'm keeping it at just six out of ten because these negatives really weighed on my mind throughout the movie. For the plot itself to be compromised...dang it really bummed me out. I do advise watching it if you are going to watch Infinity War or Endgame. There are some good things in these Ultron and Civil War that I am glad I didn't miss out on.",6
"If you're looking for a Spielberg film that is expressly about, and only about, Spielberg, you can't do better than this one. While annoyingly self-indulgent (and not only in its running time), largely unnecessary (in the opinion of everyone except Spielberg-and, presumably, his therapist), and characteristically unsubtle, it does feature some amazing performances and moving scenes, almost all thanks to Michelle Williams. Sadly, there are also far too many over-the-top performances and superfluous scenes. But, hell, if you're co-writing and helming a movie about your own life, I suppose you have artistic license to direct it any way you see fit.

Still, if you're trying to achieve anything close to reality, here are three things you probably shouldn't do, especially in your film's first five minutes: (1) Open with an unnecessarily specific title card - ""January 10, 1952"" - and then proceed to have your dad character ask your son character, as they're driving home from the movies, ""So, Sammy, what do you want for Hanukkah?"" (2) As the family arrives home, have Sammy grouse about the fact that his family's house - again, on January 10th - is the only one on the block not decorated with Christmas lights.

(3) Show your characters placing and lighting the candles of their menorah - on that same January night - in the wrong order.

As Judd Hirsch's furniture-chewing Uncle Boris character might say: Oy.",6
"Behold the superheroes of Vought, smarmy and jaded. They are peddled by their rep (played by Elizabeth Shue, in a superb expression of creepy corporate greed). They don't do good for good's sake, and they don't care about you and me, or the cities where they supposedly fight crime. When Hughie (played by Jack Henry Quaid)'s girlfriend is plowed down by one of them and dies, he joins The Boys, to fight back against the supes and to right wrongs. Karl Urban is in this gem of a series, too. And he's GREAT. Watch his fight set to the strains of ""London Calling"" ...and yes, that's Simon Pegg playing Hughie's Dad! And yes, Seth Rogen has something to do with the script! I am dazzled by all this! Yay! What more would anyone want? Grade: B+",9

"Tedious over-reliance on special effects. Manic-depressive script that zig zags between mumbled dialog, and over the top action. Too intense for children. Too long.

"I heard this movie from Internet,and after i watched it,i really

moved by the happiness and sadness it brings to me.The first two chapters are more funny,but i like the last chapter more.Especially when the girl said her word in heart on the top of the moutain to the boy.It is really worth to watch.It can bring u something different with the Hollywood movies.And btw,the music of it is also very excellent,especially the song""I believe"".

"What's great about 13 Reasons is that the show tackles several issues that can/will be faced by kids as they go through high school. The cinematography is pretty good overall, but the show has its drawbacks.

The acting is average as hell. The writing and plot overall is constantly heavy handed and exaggerated. And then characters are introduced that ultimately do not serve that much of a purpose (Ani and Charlie come to mind).

If you haven't seen the show already, go into it with low expectations and you will probably enjoy it overall. Seasons 1 and 2 are pretty good. Season 3 is okay. Season 4 is not so good.",6
"A ballerina forced into a sex school for Russian spies? It sounds like something from the trashier lists of Kindle self-published books. In reality no such thing would be needed: for a lot of blokes the mere offer of sex with an attractive woman would be enough, without all the emotional gymnastics; and if not, as The Americans shows us, there are other ways to lean on 'em.

And in fact, the 'Sparrow' aspect plays little part once the story gets up and running - which it eventually does. It feels as if the author merely believed it was needed to liven up what is otherwise a humdrum seen-it-before spy thriller, of the John Le Carre type but not as good. Other than - almost - full frontal nudity from Jennifer Lawrence, the most notable thing about it is that it's the first film to acknowledge explicitly that the new Russia has reverted to much the same attitudes and activities as the old Soviet Union. But even that, though true, is mainly a convenience of storytelling: it allows the whole thing to be set up as though perestroika never happened.",6
"Visually stunning this story is the shallowest i have seen in a while.

The movie keeps the spectator hooked with a good pace and stunning visuals that's for sure. Other than that, nothing very exciting unfortunately.

The story has little if no character development at all. It is the old good against bad without any type of nuances. There is no twists nor revelations.

What's even worse is the stereotype of this family and toxic masculinity it tries to sell.

Its very easy to see how storytelling has done a much much muuuch better job lately on other art pieces. Such a shame they've spent all that movie on visuals without looking after the story.",3
Seems it was made for children. So many story problems and idiotic scenes. I had so much hope at the beginning but it's really just annoying watching this!,4
"Talk To Me did not make ""horror movies horrifying again"".

Ari Aster did that with Hereditary and Midsommar, as did Roger Eggers with The Witch.

I must say that I found it suspicious when I was told by the ticket girl that we were in for a real treat and that she's had nightmares for weeks after watching this movie. I then asked her how it compared to Hereditary. ""Oh, I hated Hereditary"". Ummmm-hmm.

As indicated in the title, it was well produced, acted, written and directed, but if you're looking for a groundbreaking horror movie that is going to revive the genre... see it as a teenager.

All in all, it was better than average.",6
The best thriller after ratsasan but this comes with beautiful message at last. Fine screen writing and the actors. Must watch if you love thrillers or you are bored of same kind of thrillers this movie makes you refreshed in terms of narration and writing and emotions are perfectly portrayed and carried out. Not even a single place or money where you feel this screenplay is slow are taking time to build suspense. From the Beginning of the movie you will laugh less and feel tensed more and more as the movie goes on. And the portrayal of how a normal person becomes a an unusual person is perfect. Not only showing that how a person turns into a unusual person but also the movie shows how the same person has more than one path to become good or bad the movie has both white black and grey characters and the movie perfectly shows the layers in it. Last but not least the ending perfectly tells the audience how to treat a person at a very tender age so that the post trauma doesn't affect him or her.,10
"The movie has an amazing direction. The feel and intensity of the characters are alluring, the characters are portrayed with perfection by the artists. I love the idea and how it was filmed. The movie captures the beauty of North India along with the pain and conflict between the people there. It's ask a question whether love is the solution of conflicts or not. The people hung to their past, is it easy to forget the past and look for the future with hope. The movie has depth and a wonderful amalgation of love, obsession and war.",9
"Enjoyed season 1 & 2 but season 3 has lost the plot.

I would agree with other posters, too much use of the F word, this has really made it tacky. Plus the singing theme, omg, just plain boring.

Also the over acting from Martin Short, Meryl Stink and other nobodies.

I dealt with Meryl Stink by fast forwarding every time she appeared.

The only good parts are Selena Gomez and Steve Martin except for their over use of the F word. Use the F word sparingly for maximum impact , but when used every second sentence, just plain tacky, very tacky. No class. The director is a moron and just following the idiot trend set by the other morons.",4
They should have stopped the show at the end of season 5. Season 6 is useless and crap. This shiw went worst at each new season.,5
There is nothing in this film for an adult to enjoy. It's a total children's film. Don't know what else I can say.,3
"The potential that has spread around the world via the books and games is being publicly screwed here.

1. the only good decision was to have Henry Cavill play the Witcher. The rest of the roles are also well cast, but just don't fit their characters at all. Acting wise they are very good, however what this series should live on is the monsters and the wild chase and not diversity and inclusion.

2. The story is getting further and further away from a real story. The potential as mentioned was to use the fables and stories from the Witcher and as the main story the history around Ciri. From action with monsters to mysteries and magic to chaos and the overarching power, all this would have been possible, but disappointingly, the momentum of the first season was completely wasted in the second and third.

3. The third season is no longer a Witcher. Apart from the fact that the screentime of the Witcher himself is immensely reduced, one feels by now like in a mixture of House of Cards only in the GoT age. Politics is more important, keeping the story of the ""real"" villain alive is more important, wanting to rake in money from many more seasons is more important.

Conclusion: Witcher is only worth watching to see an angry, grumpy and taciturn Henry Cavil as our all time favorite character. In principle, you should stay away from the series from the second season on.",3
"This is absolutely the best Marvel movie so far, or even the best superhero movie ever made. The story was so perfect with outstanding performance from the actors and actress. Joe and Anthony gave a new perspective for those who think superhero movie is only about action. The story of this movie was also strong, and the conflict that was made is so real and natural. Remarkable. You think you see it too much already from trailer? You're wrong. There are still so many surprise hidden on this movie. Perfect action, perfect story, perfect conflict, perfect in many ways! Marvel is unstoppable. Thank you Joe and Anthony Russo, infinity war is in good hands.",10
"Watched this on DVD after a friend had raved about it. I disliked this film intensely (so much so that I am writing this review, which I never do). I like musicals but this film was cavalier and crass.

There was one ok song, ""Rewrite the Stars,"" but the *movie* needed to be rewritten! It was shallow, loud, had no character development, and was a series of trashy flashy vignettes thrown together with no dramatic continuity.

Frankly, i couldn't wait for it to be over. I agree with most of the critical reviews and am shocked that this mess did well at the box office. I guess the public has become used to a diet of meaningless mass media junk.",2
"INTRODUCTION: ""The Dark Knight"" is the second installment in the Batman trilogy by writer/director Christopher Nolan. The film is written by Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan and the films story would be conceived by Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer. The film is ranked as the 4th best movie of all time (according to IMDb) and won 2 Oscars. I'm here to talk of why it's just a okay movie and not a masterpiece as some people believe.

GOOD: - The Writing - The Acting - The last 45 minutes

OKAY: - The directing - Some of the action - There are some questionable things in this movie such as: Why did no kids or bus drivers notice the bus that rolls out of the bank? How did Batman and Rachel not die when hitting the car? Why didn't Batman quickly take out Joker at the party? If Batman doesn't kill... Then why does he kill?! - Health Ledger's Joker (I'll explain later) - An OKAY Crime Film

BAD: - Cristinan Bale' Batman (I'll explain later) - The film's time length - NOT THE BEST BATMAN MOVIE!!!

CONCLUSION: Some people may be questioning my choice of why I think the Joker's portrayal is okay and why Batman's portrayal is bad. Here's why... The Joker is okay because he's not the Joker! He's a up and coming crime man who tries to prove his craziness... And this may sound stupid but... He's to quotable. I say this because... Whenever someone talks about the Joker they say the same dang line ""Why so serious?! Do you wanna know how I got these scars?!"" I've heard it so much that I want to turn off whatever I'm watching. And every time someone portrays the Joker the first things critics will say is: ""He's not as good at Heath Ledger"". How people should think of it is ""Heath was great form Nolan's universe... Jared's Joker is interesting for the new universe... Jack's portrayal is a good Tim Burton villain"" etc. Every superhero movie in general HAS TO LIVE UP TO ""The Dark Knight"". Cristian Bale's Batman is bad because: A. I can barely stand his voice B. I don't understand what he says all the time... Both as Batman (gargle) and Bruce Wayne (scratchy whisper) C. Bale's Batman can't fight (considering he was trained by Ninga's) D. Batman is not the world greatest detective because he only relies on gadgets and not brains E. Bruce Wayne is a selfish butthole and F. Barman has a chance of dying with everything he does but somehow manages not to die... Like I said when falling hundreds of stories and landing on a car. The time length is also way, WAY to long. I put it on one time at 7:00 and fell asleep at 8:00. They could've cut it down by like half an hour. Overall, it's not a amazing movie and should be held as a must need to be a good superhero rather than standing alone as it's own. The only movie to match the film so far is ""Logan"" (which I still need to see). ""Logan"" supposedly might be the first superhero film to win Best Picture.

"Heres an off-the-grid ex military man-weapon, bloodthirsty for revenge. he will take down any bad guy in the way. the thing is, he rarely(if ever) cares about helping anyone unless he can use them to carry out his murder plan. hes not a hero, hes a mentally ruined war veteran turned serial killer. as with 99% of the marvel/netflix shows, its well cast and performed, great production value. i never read the comics or graphic novels or whatever, so theres that; but i dont see this as any sort of hero story. its all pain and suffering, its really dark. the logo is quite popular though",6
"Probably could have used another episode or two to flesh the story out a little more.

Still, it's what you expect from the MCU in phase 4; so overall pretty decent, if not especially groundbreaking.

For a Disney superhero show the conversation about race was actually pretty well-handled.",8
"It's difficult to believe that anybody can appreciate this series for what it's intent to deliver is. I don't know why continuing is going to provide anything more mundane than watching 3 women undergoing existential self created crises in their lives can provide any degree of worth unless you are interested in attempting to bore yourself senseless.

The accumulated and prolonged narrative shows absolutely no potential of entertainment nor thought provocation in any form whatsoever.

Unless you are interested in the field of studying neurosis, it has nothing to offer as a take away other than wasting subscription on Pay TV channels.",2
"Meaningless, unoriginal, interminable, uninspiring, boring and full of clichés and tropes.

"Oh... what? It's not a comedy? It's supposed to be serious? I'm supposed to feel stirring emotions? The acting isn't supposed to be overly exaggerated in a comical, Will Ferrell style? The script isn't supposed to be so bad it's funny... if in bad taste? In that case this is dreadful. Shockingly bad! How on earth does it have such high reviews???",3
"Oh my God it all makes sense now! The titans, the walls, the titans inside the walls. The why, the how and the when. I can't think in any other episode that tied up so many things like this. The world just got bigger. The breadcrumbs from previous episodes led to this. Best season ever.",10
Well if you miss this the world will still be spinning around. Even after weeks I got no answer to: Why.. why did he do this?? Tarantino can do so much better !!!!!!!! The last 15 min is why I rated 5 and not 4. Whis the hottest chick on earth and pitt and di Caprio it was disappointing. I expected mich more.,5

"Wes Anderson's THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL is the director's celebration of Central Europe culture and fashion in the years between the World Wars, and an elegy for what was lost with the rise of fascism and communism. Set in 1932 in a fictional country called Zubrowka, the streets, military regalia and (ersatz) German names we are shown could have come from anywhere between Germany and Estonia. Its protagonist Gustave H. (Ralph Fiennes) is a concierge at the eponymous luxury hotel, the splendour of which disappeared, we are told, with World War II. Gustave H. is known publicly as one of the best concierges in the business, able to dash around the hotel at lightning speed to satisfy the most varied guests of the elite clientele. Privately, he's a rake with a rather foul mouth, and fond of bedding the rich old women who patronize the establishment. When one of those old ladies, Madame Céline Villeneuve Desgoffe und Taxis (Tilda Swinton) dies and Gustave is framed for her murder, he must evade the law and unmask the true culprit, with the help of newly hired lobby boy Zero Mustafa (Tony Revolori).

The films of Wes Anderson are known for their immense visual detail, and THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL is no exception. The elaborate framing of shots, the myriad cute items to look at on every set, and the architectural detail are like a diorama blown up to the big screen. Curiously, that visual detail is matched to a real slackness in the human characterization. Anderson has brought in a number of actors he had worked with before, including Adrien Brody, Jeff Goldblum, Ed Norton, and Bill Murray, for roles that range from the main villain to little more than cameos. These characters are never fleshed out like Gustave H. or Zero Mustafa, and the actors don't even try to pass themselves off as Central Europeans from the entre deux guerres. Instead Adrien Brody plays Adrien Brody, etc.

There are two supporting roles that I felt were stronger. William Defoe plays a nearly mute henchman whose look is a nod to early vampire films (Transylvania was Central Europe, too). More remarkable is Harvey Keitel's turn as an old prisoner: when so many handsome leading men try to hide the effects of time after they enter their sunset years, 75-year-old Keitel was not afraid to show the ravages of old age here.

Unfortunately, I found the 21st-century Americans strutting about (and a few speaking in rough New York accents) in a historical drama to be jarring. I was also disappointed by the resort to Hollywood tropes here, when Anderson's earlier films managed to be very quickly and sui generis. For example, did we really need not just one scene where a character is hanging off a cliff's edge as the villain stands over him, but two? And the amount of plot details that are introduced but never really explained makes one feel that the work was subject to some heavy cuts to please a studio.

Still, if you liked Wes Anderson's earlier films, you'll find much to enjoy in his dollhouse approach, and it is amazing how every one of his films has a completely new and fresh visual theming even if his quasi-autistic obsession with prettiness never changes. Another thing I liked about the film is its ""story within a story within a story"". The entire plot of Gustave H. is, we are shown, taken from a fictionalized treatment by a writer who met a middle-aged Mustafa in the 1960s. Befitting this novelistic layer (and the work of Stefan Zweig that Anderson credits for inspiration), this framing story is written in stilted, unrealistic dialogue like an old-time novel. And the aspect ratio changes for each layer of the film, a little treat for cinema anoraks.",5
"Hollywood movie idea: Show Brown terrorizing In yellow tint Snow White man in blue clean tint

The end",1
"No good introduction, several surprisingly bad acting moments, chaotic storyline, easy decisions. A mix of horror with sci-fi that unfortunately did not work at all. The writers decisions to find extremely easy ways out. Very unfortunate cuts the first half, then long not-needed scenes. Musically it was just average. Character development was under average. I don't want to spoil the surprise guests in this movie, but money can make things happen that shouldn't happen.

Some moments I rate as 6/10 at best, then 5/10, but for the most part 4/10. Maybe I should give it 5/10, but the last scenes also were definitely between 3/10 av 4/10. I walked out the cinema irritated.

Maybe I was too tired this day, maybe I'm getting old. I love both sci-fi and horror movies. I didn't know it was gonna have this horror side genre in the movie. This should be good for me, but wow, the horror elements were not good at all. Kudos for trying, but it did not work.

I'm sorry, I don't like giving scores under 5 out of 10, but this one I find it surprising has 7,5/10 as of today. This was a literal milking money movie, not needed.

"The chemistry between Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac was through the roof! The differences between their characters, one being stoic and rational and the other forceful and conniving, perfectly complements each other as a couple chasing the American dream. A Most Violent year also features a well thought of and interesting neo noir storyline whose best parts are in the dialogue. Overall, I recommend this film with a slow burn warning and with a requirement to invest your full attention.",7
"It was truly a great film, it made sense, was accurate and was what you expect from a Marvel Movie. The action was intense. The characters chosen for this film suited the way the film wanted to be done, in despite of all the seriousness of the movie, it had its funny moments to draw back on to kind of release the tension like all Marvel movies before. It provided a good ending to make future films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have a purpose and direction for the future. I guess in ways it could've been slightly better, but to be honest I don't really how exactly it could be improved but you always think in some ways a movie isn't exactly perfect but this was pretty damn close. It fulfilled the promise of what I was expecting and I am looking forward to future films now to continue with this.",9
"Who else went in there because of 3D? It was a hype back then, nothing else.",2
"The Martian is seriously the most boring sci-fi film I have ever witnessed. From start to finish, it felt like I was watching a university speech from a teacher for 2 hours. There was nothing interesting about this film, other than it was done in space. The visual effects are fantastic but the acting and the scenes were just dull, joyless and slow. In fact, my friend got me a extra pillow in case I needed it if the film was boring and boy, I was lucky to have that comfy pillow. This film may get the attention of sci-fi lovers but it will certainly not get the attention of those who find sci-fi films extremely boring, Interstellar was way better than this, even though it was a 2 hrs and 40 minutes film. It had no action which I thought was horrific. Do not watch this film unless you plan on bringing a pillow and a blanket",3
"I love action movies. Put your brain in a box. Unbelievable car chases, bullets flying but nobody gets shot, thin plot lines. That's exactly how 6 Underground starts, with a little bit of back story and character introduction. Cars explode and flip over around them. One of the characters bleeds profusely yet doesn't lose consciousness, while another tries to stem it during the wild chase. At one point we have an amusingly done typical scene of avoiding running over a mother with baby, and two dogs. After 30 minutes of car chase, with cars, Vespas and people flying, I got fed up and stopped the film.",2
What can I say that people dont already know about this movie. It is .it was.it will be the best gangster movie of all time.bar none.,10
"The movie is not that great. The plot is very boring. I felt I was not attached to the movie except for the last 10 minutes. One of the good parts of the movie is when Brad goes to the place where his friend George is. This scene has some intense moments. Other than that, the last 10 minutes are the best.

QT, you could do better, believe me.",5

"I was to waiting for the new Spiderman and hoped it would continue the story made with Spiderman 1, 2 and 3. Remaking Spiderman 1 I don't understand and changing the story with the real storyline...don't understand, totally disappointed with the actors they had no feeling with the original characters....My vote 4 out of 10 and that because I'm a big Spiderman fan and hope they would go back to the previous cast and simply make Spiderman 4...

Author: Cyborg Abhi from India *** This review may contain spoilers *** I've been a fan of Spiderman since childhood. In fact, he has been my favorite superhero. I liked Spiderman 1, 2 and 3; watched Spiderman 3 twice, despite many reviewers bashing it.

So it's natural I was waiting eagerly for The Amazing Spiderman. I was more eager because this movie was rebooting the Spiderman franchise with new cast that included Indian actor, Irfan Khan and it was getting released in India before US! Unfortunately, it turned out to be a big disappointment. It was like they didn't make a Spiderman movie, but a caricature-remake or a spoof of it. Bad script, confused and weak characters, bad direction and bad editing are some of the major flaws. Story was too bland, no spice, no excitement.

The important scenes where Peter gets bitten or hones his skills or makes his suit have been hurried and short, while the irrelevant scenes have been dragged.

Spiderman gets beaten, defeated, injured repeatedly. In fact, the audience was laughing hard on the repeated scenes of him coming home all thrashed and bruised and his aunt talking to him about it. He keeps removing his mask for just anybody and that's not very Spiderman-like.

Most action scenes were non-thrilling. In a scene where Spiderman rescues a boy from a falling and burning car, he wastes almost 5 minutes trying to convince Jack (the boy) to be brave, climb up and hold his hand. He even gives the boy his mask, but the boy doesn't follow him. So in the end he has to throw his spider-thread to pull Jack up. He could have done that already and spared us of that boredom.

It was just an example. Most encounters between the lizard-man and Spiderman were equally boring, dragged and nonsensical.

There were a lot of loose ends and missing links in the story. Like the story of Peter's parents was never shown, but the characters kept mentioning it. Dr. Ratha talks about some Mr. Osbourne, but neither the man nor his story was shown. Maybe they're keeping it for the sequel, but the confusion totally spoiled this movie. A lot of inconsistencies were there too. Sometimes things stick to Peter's hands and break by little force, sometimes they don't.

The romance between Peter/Spiderman and Gwen looked lukewarm and forced. The scene where the burglar kills Peter's uncle looked awkward and disconnected like many other scenes.

Andrew Garfield didn't look much convincing either as nerdy Peter Parker or as Spiderman. He was good in The Social Network but a disappointment in this movie. In many body-close-up shots he was bending forward apparently to hide his penis-line from showing in the tight-suit. That made the already weak Spiderman look even weaker. Since when have Hollywood actors become this bashful? Irfan Khan appeared in just 3 short scenes. He was more like an extra. But the audience welcomed him with a bout of whistling! Everyone seemed to be waiting anxiously for the movie to end, which ends after further boring you for some time after the defeat of the villain. So much I wish, they had made Spiderman 4 with Tobey Maguire instead of this disaster.

I might as well watch Rajnikant's Robot now",4
"The movie is funny but is so unnecessary, the villain is dumb, the mcu must have die with endgame, and this movie will forget and after the ending pff...",4
"The RackaRacka brothers' first film achieves what it wants to achieve for the most part. It opens with a terrifying beginning that sets the creepy tone for the film. As I understand it, the film briefly touches on the social pressures of adolescence and how it sometimes forces them to do things they don't really want to do. Overall, it contains good performances, especially from Sophie Wilde and Joe Bird. The music matches the tone, the cinematography is good and the effects are amazing. I think these brothers have potential and they could make really interesting horror films in the future. 7,9/10.",8
Superb casting with an extraordinary screenplay. Amazing film by Rakesh with highly dramatic scenes and montages. Bollywood is rising up from some unwanted STYLE movies by this film. By far one of the best Directed film after Rang DE basanti. Farhan acted well. Don't compare this film with CHARIOTS OF FIRE. But really missed the Background score of A R Rahman when we compare with Rang De Basanti. But music did well by SEL. In the negative phase of this film there shouldn't be the songs like slow motion angreze which showed up the artificiality. Almost every department did well. BMB deserves awards in any of the technical side for sure. Really Inspiring stuff.,9
"I appreciate the effort to put on a big musical, but other than the main theme... the music wasn't that memorable and the dancing mediocre. I like both stars but think it was a reach for both of them to sing and dance. Again ... appreciate the effort.

The songs didn't really tell or move the story along (aka Grease)and I found myself dozing during them.

I would have given the movie a 2 but the last 5 minutes at least delivered a satisfying ending.....and big plus.

Watch this one at home where you can fast-forward through the dance numbers after you have had enough of them.",4
"The main actor was magnetic. Imagine a cool, stylish, calm, Italian, New York gangster, who is neither a gangster, nor Italian, but seems mildly like both. I've never heard of this guy, but he either pulled it off really well, or he is like that in real life. In the film he is an Hispanic business owner who must walk the tightrope of ethics in order to compete, but also married a gangster's daughter. But he himself is a decent man who is passionate about limiting unethical or immoral behavior. In that sense a rather refreshing character for a modern movie. But then it doesn't take place in the modern era. It's in the early 80's. Through use of subtle techniques, not bombardment, we do get a feeling for the time period. Something about the quality of the film stock and the cars, hairstyles, and clothes helps. But there is no obnoxious soundtrack. The man deals in heating oil, but there isn't an explanation for what that means. Those of us from other parts of the country or other eras don't necessarily understand who uses this, and for what specifically Meanwhile it would have been nice to hear a bit more about his background, how he acquired this business, how he developed his philosophy, and why he married this woman. Presumably because she is tougher than him. But did her dad set him up with the business? Well the ethics of the city oil business is not a sexy subject, but the actor's film noir mannerisms, including his tempered desperation give it an edge that keeps you tuned in.",6
"It makes no sense at all that this movie won the Oscar for Best Picture. What were they thinking?

The cinematography was good, and the acting was fine. But the story was contrived and rather silly throughout, and the ending was exactly as expected. This was a film obviously for adult audiences, with the sex scene and all the gay innuendo, yet it was written in such a simple way as if it were made for small children.

Those who choose the Oscar winners lose their respectability when something like this is chosen as Best Picture over a truly great movie like Dunkirk.",2
Movie had no story or plot just action for nothing..,1
"I dont understand how a (meantime) years old PC Game like Witcher III has a much deeper atmosphere, a more beautiful set design and look and feel of iconic reach than an recent multi million $ netflix series.

I dont compare to the novels. I only compare to the game which is in every importance way better than these series. At least for me.

Without Cavill it would be just another mediocre fantasy series and I feel sad about.

But thats just my point of view, I dont want to argue about ;-)

Cheers!

"Slow start to the show, waste of multiple episodes before any plot even occurs. 6 episodes in and still don't feel any reasons to watch another episode. Others may hate me for this but The Boys and Doom Patrol are much more entertaining ""super hero"" series than anything I have seen from Marvel.",2
"A film I have been dying to see ever since it was announced and early reviews were 'Nolans Best Film!!' 'A Masterpiece!!' Really?? I don' think so. So what went wrong, other than critics, websites and movie mags over praising yet another film?? Well the main reason I hated this film is because of the sound. Yes the sound. I always see blockbusters or films on a grand scale like this in IMAX. I have never watched a film in the format where you couldn't hear what the cast were saying 50% of the time like what happened with Dunkirk. Whether its been Star Trek, Star Wars, Marvel movies or even Nolans Interstellar, I have never had such a bad experience like this with IMAX before. I don't believe it was the fault of IMAX, it was the actual sound done for the film itself that was the huge problem. This didn't help at all with that god awful 'ticking clock' in the film as well. Over the trailer for Dunkirk, there was a ticking of a clock that ran through the trailer. Now that is fine for a trailer but through an ENTIRE movie????? Really???? It eventually stopped 10 minutes before the end where I felt absolute relief, and it is no coincidence that I then started to enjoy the movie in such short space of time. What an horrendous decision to make and it also didn't help that Hans Zimmers score (who is normally excellent with Nolans movies) was also terrible. I have never done it before, but I was close to walking out of the film half way through as I had enough and my head was literally pounding. I know a lot of people complained about the sound in The Dark Knight Rises so although Nolan is a great story teller 80% of the time and has literally nailed what visuals are up on screen, he REALLY needs to work on the sound for his films.

Another reason the film doesn't work is the constant moving backwards and forwards in the story by having the same part of the story told time and time again from different peoples views and situations. This was also a big mistake and didn't help the flow of the film at all.

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't all bad. This film was visually faultless and I mean faultless. You really felt like you were there in the middle of this war. A so so bunch of actors and characters with Cillian Murphy on top form but unfortunately his character was a coward and for me, also a murderer. The real hero in this film though (even though he is behind a mask for 90% of the film) is Tom Hardy. In what is probably the most incredible realistic aerial battles ever put in a movie and up there on screen, his character is the real hero of the film. This brings me to one of the most beautiful breathtaking shots in a film ever where Hardy's Spitfire is 'gliding' along the beach at Dunkirk after he has run out of fuel. It was an incredible shot.

This however, is not enough to make up for how the rest of the film was handled. If it hadn't been for the sound and the constant backwards and forwards with the story, this would have been rightly a masterpiece and Nolans best film. Alas it is not and for me his masterpiece is still Interstellar.

Quite possibly the most over praised movie since Gravity which was another huge disappointment.

I must admit I only saw the B&W version of Dunkirk last year and I would rather watch that version any day of the week than Nolans.

What a way for a director to utterly destroy what could have been a film that would have ended up in my top 10 of all time.

Going forward Mr Nolan, PLEASE work on the sound in your films as I don't ever want to be put through that ever again!!!",5
"I really wanted to like this series. Really, I did. Loved the original show when I was a kid and I like all things sci-fi. However, the cheesy dialogue and the, ""Oh, we barely survived...again!', got old in a hurry. Too bad, really. This could have been a real stunning show had some time been put into the writing and directing. Visually it is awesome. Can't say the same for everything else. Maybe the next season will be better.",2
I had to switch this off after 20 minutes its awful. Sandler should stick to comedies. 5 people mumble at the same time and this is dialogue.,2
Wow that was bad. Some funny scenes don't make up for the several logical flaws and the very bad script,2
"A simple story well told in one shot. Catchy from the beginning due to an astonishing camera work and music. Unfortunately, weak performances (exception the leading actor) ruined the possibility to watch a memorable film.",6
"I've just finished watching it. And briefly is fantastic. Balancing humour and great acting with action, drama and jeopardy in a super hero show is tricky as DC proves yearly. However Amazon have really nailed it with this programme. Gripped all the way through. Can't wait for series 2.",9
"I was really intrigued by the first episodes, but then the series became painfully drawn-out (and I have a lot of patience for a slow burn). It was as if the producers asked themselves ""what can we do to fill 10 episodes?"" rather than ""could this be more successful as a mini-series?"". There was very little to keep your attention, and it is never good if the mystery is clear to the audience from the beginning and you are simply witnessing them spell it out. No twists, too many irrelevant and distracting side storylines. I have never made it to the final episode of a series before and been so underwhelmed that I thought about bailing 30 minutes from the end. The final episode was disastrous, like a book that you are trying to finish but you have to read 50 more pages in which the author attempts to tie up loose ends - and then you are left completely unsatisfied nevertheless. It's quite a shame, because the actors are undeniably talented. The writing wasn't worthy of them.",5
"This show is absolutely terrible. I really went into this thinking it would be my new favorite show. Henry Cavill is great and so is his character. But after a few episodes you're just waiting for his character to build but it doesn't happen and you just can't have patience with the absolutely awful writing anymore. It's a wreck that just doesn't go anywhere interesting. Every major plot turn has absolutely no build up or weight to it. The whole show is just cheap and laughably bad and I don't understand how extremely apologetic people are for it. It's a complete failure and doesn't bring anything interesting to the screen.

This show has no redeeming qualities next to Henry Cavill's presence and I feel bad for him. None of any other characters are written well or carried by the very poor actors. How can a show with such a huge budget seem so incredibly cheap?",1
"Boy am I glad that I stumbled onto this series. I was pretty bored with all of the current TV shows which I've been watching (well, that's really only Dexter and True Blood at the moment) or they've been on break. Hannibal hooked me right from the first episode and after seeing the whole season I'd say it's right up there among my favorite TV shows.

Mads Mikkelsen is a fantastic and charismatic screen presence and his portrayal of the understated and calm Hannibal is very unsettling and mesmerizing. I've loved his diverse roles in Casino Royale, After the Wedding, The Hunt and The Royal Affair and he doesn't disappoint in this show either. Hugh Dancy is also great as the tormented FBI profiler Will who can get inside the mind of a psychopath and imagine the crime occurring again. As time goes on this weighs on his psyche more and more. I loved his portrayal of a man with Asperger's Syndrome in Adam, he really seems to have a knack for portraying these kind of roles. The relationship between Will and Hannibal in the show is very interesting and filled with suspense as Hannibal subtly manipulates Will. The supporting cast is extremely solid as well.

The visuals of the show are very arresting, some of the murder scenes are especially striking. I also really liked the scenes where Hannibal is preparing food and presenting it to his guests. Those scenes are really beautiful in a twisted way.

One of the most critical parts about the show however is the sound design. The sound effects are tremendously creepy as is the music. They're used very effectively to create a creepy and disturbing atmosphere. There's an almost hypnotic feeling to the show's mood and tone.

The killers Will faces in the show are very interesting and imaginative. I also liked that they weren't just ""killer of the week"" variety but that the killers are actually tied into the story in meaningful ways.

Season 1 of Hannibal was really gripping and it's definitely my favorite of the newer TV shows. After such an intense season I'm really eager and excited to find out how they continue the story in season 2. However, I'm kind of hoping that the show won't go on for too many seasons because I have a feeling that it would get way too implausible. But so far so good.",10
"I've watched this film twice on Peacock. The first time I stopped watching about half-way through because it dragged so badly. I couldn't understand why it had a 3-hour running time, but I watched the entire film last night. It's hard to understand why it wasn't cut to a more concise length.

It's difficult to understand some of the dialogue because of the sound mix which was my field of expertise for many years as a motion picture sound mixer, sound designer, studio engineer and live performance engineer.

I don't understand why Christopher Nolan is so respected. I saw Dunkirk in the theatres when it was released but have no interest in viewing future Nolan work.

It's difficult to understand why Oppenheimer has been so successful at the box office. I consider it to be one of the most highly overrated films of the past 50 years!",2
"Now this here is a movie, a new type of comedy, not like any other cliché horrible teen drama/comedy, this here is the real deal, full of characters you are guaranteed to love so much, the randomness/stupidity is NOT horrible but actually hilarious and widely entertaining, the comedy grosses a high level not to mention the non stop laughing dirty sex jokes to. The picture of the movie may look old but that what makes the movie even a lot more brilliant, the style of it may look old like an 80s graphical movie when it actually came out in 2007, I guess the picture style of the movie is perfect for a teen movie like this. If your itching for a great laugh and a fun time then this movie is PERFECTO!",9
"I love fantasy shows and this IP is my favorite, I like it more than GOT. However, the execution of this leaves much to be desired. The books came first, and the videogame opened the IP to a bigger audience. Both are very well written. This shows is not. It doesn't stick to the source material and the things they do add is hard to keep the viewer intrigued. (For example, the Ciri/monoliths story that is very boring and unnecessary.) The positives of the show are Henry Cavill and his accurate depiction of Geralt of Rivia. Some action sequences are well done, like the battle in the end of the first episode. But the writers of this show feel like they can do better than the original author and it's easy to see that is the cause of the decline of this show. As a Witcher fan who came before the show. It leaves much to be desired. I don't see The Witcher making it past 4th season, and it was intended to have 8.",7
"The people who been treating us to 3 years of medical tyranny will typically set the psychological stage for such real life theatre with movies like ""Contagion"".

Even the fact that the ""virus"" is a ""biological weapon"" that ""came from a bat"" gets a run here.

All the usual suspects are present; the CDC, WHO, big pharma are fighting against all odds to save humanity from ""the worst pandemic ever"".

However, if you ignore the propaganda value and judge it as ""just a movie"" it is still subpar. Characters are bland, the movie drags on, lots of eavesdropping on committee meetings that discuss all the horribleness and weigh up how to manipulate the public view, replete with all the expected virus theory techno-babble peppered throughout.

The bottom line is that the whole movie is a poorly made film that is intended to convince a gullible public that the only ones who can save us in this brave new world of constantly appearing deadly contagions are Big Medical and their blessed pharma companies.

"There is nothing great here about this film. The story and acting is not compelling at all and its quite a forgettable movie. The battle scene at the end is nothing new when it comes to action. Somehow people still fizz of these types of movies, but I wasn't fooled to think this was anything other than average. The advertising won out on this yet again.",5
The Disney plus Marvel shows have been great. In my opinion tv shows blow away any movie . Just think about I'd your favorite movie wad 24 hours long . Only downside to these new shows is the 6 show seasons wish they did more atleast 20 episodes seems like shows keep getting shorter and shorter seasons . It used to be a show would go for 16 to 24 episodes a season now 6? But Wanda vision was the last marvel show I tried to watch and I mean tried multiple times but never could get through the first 2 episodes. They are beyond corny to the point it hurt to watch. I hear it gets better around episode 4 I may just start from there and see how that goes but Disney hurt themselves by starting the show the way they did I can't understand how they figured casual watcher of avengers movies puts on Wanda vision and how Disney imagined that viewer being intrigues with how the show starts.,5
"The first season was interesting and compelling. The second season is just plain terrible, leading the viewers to areas that are never fully realized, and is just truly depressing and disgusting. Bullying is very real, no doubt, but this show does not help its awareness.",1
Daniel Craig with a stereotypical old southern gentleman accent No thank you I couldn't even get half way through this movie. It sucked Imo,3

This is a really cool time piece that seems extremely accurate and is loosely based on the actual tragedy back near 1900.

Sadly for me the story was extremely hard to follow at times, and the lighthouses secrets are never really revealed which led to the score above.",5
"""Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"" is a film which could, just, have worked. It is based around a science fiction concept which is the precise opposite of the one which forms the basis of ""Total Recall"". That film posits that that at some time in the future neuro-technology will have advanced to the point where it is possible to implant false memories into a person's brain- that is to say memories which the person believes to be genuine but which in fact relate to events that have never taken place. ""Eternal Sunshine….."", by contrast, explores the possibility that it might be possible to use neuro-technology to remove unwanted memories from a person's brain. Unlike ""Total Recall"", which is explicitly set several centuries in the future, it seems to be set in the present day; the fictional technique of ""Targeted Memory Erasure"" is the only futuristic thing about it.

The film tells the story of two lovers, Joel Barish and Clementine Kruczynski who meet, fall in love, fall out of love again and separate. When Joel seeks out Clementine to try for a reconciliation, he finds that she has no memories of him and discovers that she has used the services of a firm called Lacuna, Inc to erase all memories of him from her mind. On the basis that what is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander, Joel decides that he will also have his mind wiped of all memory of Clementine and makes an appointment with Lacuna. During the mind wiping procedure, however, he decides that he wants to remember Clementine after all.

This was a film which came as a great disappointment to me. Kirsten Dunst may have a fine nose for mediocrity, but its other stars have all starred in some of the finest films of recent years, Kate Winslet in ""Heavenly Creatures"" and Branagh's ""Hamlet"", Jim Carrey in ""The Truman Show"", Tom Wilkinson in ""Girl with a Pearl Earring"" and ""Valhalla"", and Elijah Wood in the ""Lord of the Rings"" trilogy. Winslet, admittedly, is an actress I am never quite sure about. It may seem unpatriotic to say so, given her current status of National Treasure Grade One in Britain, but her acting veers between the brilliant, as in ""Heavenly Creatures"" or the recent ""Revolutionary Road"", the good (""Sense and Sensibility""), the average (""Titanic"", ""Iris""), the technically proficient but soulless (""The Reader""), and the frankly weird (""Hideous Kinky""). Her performance here falls firmly into the final category, (although ""Eternal Sunshine….."" is a far weirder film than ""Hideous Kinky"" ever knew how to be). Her Clementine comes across as so emotionally dysfunctional (polite euphemism for bitch) that it is easy to understand just why Joel wanted every trace of her eradicated from his memory. What is more difficult to understand is why he changed his mind about the process or, indeed, fell in love with her in the first place. Jim Carrey can also be brilliant, as he was in ""The Truman Show"", but falls a long way short of repeating that triumph here, with his Joel coming across as just dull.

The film seems to have plenty of admirers, currently being ranked at No. 62 on the IMDb Top 250 and having been nominated for all sorts of awards. I realise, therefore, that I am in a minority when I say that I disliked it. Part of the problem was that it is a romantic comedy (of sorts) where I was unable to sympathise with either of the principal characters, but the main reason for my dislike was that Michel Gondry's tricksy direction made the plot so difficult- at times impossible- to follow. ""Eternal Sunshine"" has been compared to ""Being John Malkovich"", the script for which was written by the same writer, Charlie Kaufman, but I found that film much clearer to understand.

Gondry, particularly during the sequences where Joel's memory is being wiped, uses a number of disorientating techniques such as distorted perspective and an extreme form of non-linear narrative. The film jumps suddenly from Joel's memories, some recent, some of the more distant past, to scenes set in the present, which makes it very difficult to piece together exactly what is going on. The effect has been described as ""surrealistic"", but I have always found Surrealism to be something which works better on canvas, as in the works of Salvador Dali and Giorgio de Chirico, than it does on the cinema screen, except in small doses, an example being the dream sequence Dali designed for Hitchcock's ""Spellbound"". The best thing about ""Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"" is its quirky title- a line from Alexander Pope's ""Eloisa to Abelard"". 3/10",3
"First the story line and plot are great, The sequence of events was carefully arranged also I liked the directing and shooting the camera took a good place in every scene, and I have to admit that Oscar Isaac did his job and more he acted the role so convincingly he and all the actors. The thing I have to pay tribute to is that they didn't imitate batman themes or tried to copy him, They did the exact opposite they created for moon knight it own themes and character. I liked the show so much and I am waiting for the next season.",8
"If you're liking special effects than this big screen version of Wonder Woman will fit your pistol. But for myself I much prefer what Lynda Carter did in the 70s on the small screen.

I'm not even sure comic book purists will not have criticisms because this one takes Wonder Woman back to World War I. As we know she was created just before our entry into that second World War and her reason for leaving the Paradise Island home was to offer her services to the Allies most specifically against Mr. Hitler.

In this one Steve Trevor played by Chris Pine washes ashore on the Amazonian populated Paradise Island and he's followed shortly by some invading Germans. Trevor is played by Chris Pine and he helps battle the invaders.

Not without losses do the Amazons repel the Germans, they give a good account of themselves with spears and arrows, on horseback and on foot.

Here Princess Diana the soon to be Wonder Woman decides to leave the island because the Greek God of war Ares is behind all the slaughter on the western front. A Deity that gets off on killing. That's who Israeli actress Gal Gadot playing Wonder Woman is after while Chris Pine has a more prosaic intelligence mission.

Wonder Woman is a good action/adventure flick with the pyrotechnics fans crave, but I'll take Lynda Carter any old time.",5
"I don't normally review films but I feel I should warn people that not only is this a snoozefest through most of the runtime, but the violence was way too much at the end.

Let me be clear, because I know what some of the responses will be: I know Tarantino films are violent, and I've actually enjoyed most of them, from Reservoir Dogs to Django Unchained. There seemed to be more of a point to it in other movies though.

A lot of the reviews say the climax was funny or thrilling, but I could barely watch. And in fact, I wasn't alone; I was in a small screening of about 30 people and I saw many people turning away, and no-one seemed to be enjoying it.

Maybe it's because of where the Manson murders sit in the American conscious? For me as a non-American, I know that the Mansons were murderers, but that doesn't make it enjoyable to watch their faces get torn apart.",2
In all 3 episodes 90% of time it is sitcom with laughter tracks and in last 10% drops some interesting hints to retain viewer for the next one. Just old school strategy and more importantly very annoying.,9
"This spider man movie is pretty good but it isn't as good as the first one but it is still pretty good because it has lots of action in it not as much as the first spider man movie but it still has lots of action in it it has a pretty good screen play to it Tobey once again does a great spider man in this spider man movie the acting in it is pretty good the actors are good the villains are good i think the guy who play doc ock does it pretty good. So i'm sure you will not be disappointed with spider man 2. So make sure that you rent or buy spider man 2 because it is a really good spider man movie.

"I went in with low expectations and genuinely enjoyed it for what it was. Cudos to Netflix, Michael Bay and Ryan Reynolds for making this. It's fun and creative action and violence.

This movie was fun and worth watching for what it is...",7

"Tremendously overrated movie. Wants to, apparently, be underage ""Dazed and Confused,"" but falls so short. It's a movie that tries to throw up its comedy in your face, which is really not effective.

Jonah Hill is such a loser in this movie, as he is in everything he's been in since, regardless what Leonardo di Caprio seems to think.

Steer clear no matter what your friend says. Watch ""Dazed and Confused"" (1993) or maybe ""The Stoned Age"" (1994) and you'll get more. Not as many future millennial stars, but is that really a problem?",3
"This movie deserves all the praise and the awards it'll surely win! I couldn't stop laughing. It's full of smart jokes, touching moments, and has one of the best sets I've ever seen in a film. Highly highly recommend. It has a wonderful message for both men and women. I hope the success of this movie leads to more films directed by, starring, and made for women. Hollywood has spent far too long catering to men, I see a cultural shift in the next few years. Women want good movies too, with strong, well developed, independent female characters that don't rely on men to interact with one another. Looking forward to more movies like Barbie.",10
If you hadn't watched any great movie in a while then you should go for this one. Anurag Basu always do some kind of magic in the cinematography of his films and this one is exceptionally great movie.,10
"The only redeeming qualities that keep this from an even lower score are the events that happen towards the end of the movie. The rest is just filler, it's such a blatant cash grab it's existence is offensive. The whole point of this film is just to set up future sequels. I understand that some might enjoy this movie but defending this sort of practice will lead to more lazy, uninspired sequel-bait borefests like this. I'd talk about the story of the movie but it's practically nonexistent, it's just a series of events. Fantastic beasts should have been completely different from the main saga, it should have centered around Newt and the hunt for fantastic beasts as the name suggests. Prequels, sequels, spin-offs and their like need to die, they should only be done if the ideas are interesting and bring something to the existing universe. This doesn't, it's just a series of references to things you might recognize that were done much better in the past. What do I know though, they'll make 5 more of these and they'll all make a tonne of money...",4
"I am a lifelong Twisted Metal fan, and I've been waiting as long as I can remember for a new entry to the franchise, as I'm sure many others have as well. While a television series might not have been what myself and most other fans had in mind, I believe this show offers just about everything a die-hard Twisted Metal fan could ask for; gratuitous violence, high-octane car combat, and a, for lack of a better term, delightfully twisted sense of humor.

The show makes various noticeable alterations to various aspects of the games, particularly with the core premise, as well as the characterization of various characters. Rather than adapting ideas from the game one-to-one, the show translates many of the game's characteristics into a format that simply works better for an episodic series than if they had directly lifted them from the games, as the in-game storyline of Twisted Metal wouldn't exactly translate to television very well without heavy modification. The changes that are made, of which there are quite a few, are understandable and made with great care, respect, and consideration. While the show offers a rather unique approach to the idea of Twisted Metal, which might be a turn off for some fans, it definitely retains the franchise's spirit.

If you're expecting the series to have a gritty, self-serious tone along the lines of Twisted Metal: Black or the 2012 remake, you'll be sorely disappointed, as the series instead adopts a more cheesy and lighthearted tone akin to the first few games in the franchise. While it's a deviation from the tone that the Twisted Metal franchise has accrued through its last few entries, it undoubtedly helps to make the show more accessible to franchise newcomers while staying true to the sadistic and macabre heart of Twisted Metal. The show is also packed full of references from throughout the franchise's history that are sure to satiate veterans of the franchise.

One of the main turn offs for most people going into the show is how it was advertised. The little advertising that this series got seemed to put a bad taste in the mouths of both new and returning fans, and was generally not a particularly accurate or promising display of what this show had to offer, an all too common problem with much of modern advertising. Unfortunately, it seems as though many people cannot seem to get past the advertising and insist on believing that the show is as bad as the trailers and sneak peeks made it out to be. I can say with a high degree of certainty though that this is not the case. If you are one of those people that assumed the worst for this show because of its advertising, I implore you to put that bias aside and give the show a fair shot, because it might surprise you. I should know, since I was one of those people.

Overall, while not perfect (specifically with some of the dialogue), this series offers a fresh and well-executed take on Twisted Metal for both new and returning fans alike.",8
"Being a fan of the original Lost in Space, I watched season 1 when it was released last year. It was just ok. It was obvious from the beginning they were trying to be ""politically correct"" in their casting choices. What I liked the best about the first season was not only the special effects and the beautiful scenery, but the interaction between Will and the Robot. I don't really like the stories for the other characters, especially Dr. Smith. The writing for the other characters just just don't make them ""likeable"". In the original version you knew Dr. Smith was trying to sabatage the Robinson's to get back to earth, but the way it was written, you kind of liked the guy too. There is not one appealing thing about this Dr. Smith. In the original version there was a romance between Don and Judy. This version hinted that way in the first season, but the actress that plays Judy looks like she's about 15 and the actor that plays Don looks like he is about 28. Now I'm on the 3rd episode of season 2. The Robot hasn't been found, and I still don't really care for the other characters. I will continue, but I hope it gets better.",5
"I've read all books and played all games, including both Gwent games and I've seen the polish movie and TV series too. When it was announced that Henry Cavill will be playing Geralt I was sceptical to say the least, but he is the best cast actor on this show, a perfect fit. His voice is en par with the game version of Geralt and he moves and behaves exactly as I'd imagine the Witcher to be. The second best cast is Jaskier, I really liked that character.

Unfortunately that can not be said for the remainer of the cast. Yennefer is way too young and does not radiate any authority at all, she's too fragile compared to the books. There was no chemistry what so ever between Triss and Geralt and the actress does not fit how I imagined Triss at all (and she does not have red hair), Vilgefortz is a Joke compared to the books, hard to believe he should evolve into the mean mage he's supposed to become. Ciri is okayish for the beginning of the series but it's hard to imagine that she will become the tough girl into which she evolves in the books. The monster CGI is too CGI-ish and could be better, but could also be worse.

I find the pacing of the series also very confusing and I don't know if anyone who hasn't read the books could follow the different timelines. Some subtitles like ""30 years ago"" or ""present time"" or any other clear indication to what is a flashback and what is actually happening would've helped. But I really liked that all stories from The Last Wish made it into the first season and also the story of Villentretenmerth from The Sword of Destiny, which is my all time favorite Short Story.

But all casting mistakes aside, I still liked the series, mainly because of a very believable Geralt and that it stays true to the books for most of the parts. I am looking forward to the next season and I hope it won't indeed take two years for it to be released.",9
"It just didn't make me care for any of the characters and so it was hard to get involved in the story.

I can be brought to tears at the sight of original ww1 footage/photos, but this didn't move me at all - and I think it's just because of a lot of little things that just didn't seem realistic and the bland acting.",6
"Listening to Van Halen in the beginning was off for this film as it is about the future, that is one reason it fails for me. Hollywood is and has been using the past to make money off the younger generation, that is sad and shows their greed in always rehashing old ideas. The many references to past films and music were fun memories, but the film wastes a talented cast in a CGI world that has little substance to offer in watching it, 5 out of 10 is just about what it is worth, if they made a sequel, it would drop off to nothing. One critic said they should make a VR ride out of this film - seriously, well they would make more money off that idea.",5
"""All I ever wanted in this circus of hell is carnage.""

In Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Eddie Brock attempts to reignite his career by interviewing serial killer Cletus Kasady, who becomes the host of the symbiote Carnage and escapes prison after a failed execution. The first Venom did not do it for me as well as many others. It split audiences into those who really liked it and those who hated it. It felt like there was no middle ground. But with the change in directors and the thought of Carnage being part of this story, it did bring me to want to go out and see it. And though this may have got somewhere that the first didn't, it didn't get to where I would've liked to have seen it go. Here, it embraces campiness and doesn't take itself as seriously as the first. I feel like they were trying to make up for last time. As campy as it tried to be, I don't think it quite understood how to utilize it. For me, the beginning and end embraced it the most. When it did, I found myself sort of enjoying it. We saw this with Malignant last month, but this is another movie that feels like it could've been some b-movie found in the back of a video store. Had it not tried to force itself to be comedic and take some things as serious as it did, maybe it could've gotten to that level. Mainly, it's the story that disappoints. There's so much to unpack and they do so in around 90 minutes. I love the runtime, but it moves by so fast there is literally no room to breathe. There's hardly a quiet moment. After some time I just wanted a break.

Somewhere within the second act, the movie kind of loses what it's trying to be. The story becomes messy and can't decide where to go. Most of the comedy takes place in here and some of it does land. This whole section is like a side plot that could've worked elsewhere. Tom Hardy pulls this movie together. You know that he loves being Eddie and Venom and wants to make the most of it. Woody Harrelson is a good addition to the franchise, but I don't think his character was nearly fleshed out as he could've been. Carnage has some big shoes to fill, and though the movie doesn't do him justice, the fight scenes are great. The action is a lot of fun, though it can be too much. Everything turns to CGI, but much like Godzilla Vs. Kong, we're in it for the action scenes. I will note the production design, especially in the last act looks great. They had the right atmosphere going to match this haunted looking church. Maybe it's just me, but it put me in the spirit for Halloween. Overall, this didn't live up to the hype. It felt more like a filler movie within the franchise, besides the great after credit scene. I was entertained and everyone in the theater was too. But if you're looking at the story, it's rushed, messy, and not all that great. Andy Serkis had the right idea and so did most apart of it, but they couldn't quite get to where they wanted to be.",6
"This is not Twisted Metal series.. Very little vehicular combat on screen, too much californian values and talking and just unneeded character interactions. Humor is bad, romance story is bad.

You have bunch of lesbians in the truck convoy.

You have some scavangers bowing down to some dominatrixes.

You have some dumpster old man necrofiliac.

Mr Slam is using his d''k to smash watermellon.

Sweet Tooth is the best.

Very little combat, every eppisode should have had about 15 minutes of car combat. Vehicles lack their special attacks.

Story itself is shallow but that is okay.

Main actor is leading this Quiet female person but she is just making things difficult for him because she is not listening to John. Nevermind John almost died few rimes because of her, John is later making excuses to her... That is just pathetic.",3
"Community is a great show, with brilliant writing and great casting. It's not like the traditional sitcom, with a lower volume of jokes and more emotional sequences. Every actor is perfect in their role and I don't know how they pulled that off.

Season 1 is a bit awkward with the actors getting used to their roles but seasons 2 and 3 are the absolute peak. Every single joke lands and everyone will find at least one character they can relate to.

Season 4 (the gas leak year) is not as bad as people say it is, but it does not live up to the standards of community. The new director tried filling in more jokes to make it like other sitcoms and it just did not work.

Seasons 5 and 6 are again really good, but it sucks that Troy and Pierce, two of the funniest characters, had to leave the show.

Community also has better bottle episodes than probably any show ever, with some animated episodes and some crime solving episodes that are really fun to watch. It has at least 10 pop culture references per episode and they're all on point. Every character, even the guest stars, are all really funny with impeccable timing.

But some people say it is better than the office and I find that blasphemous. Yes, it has witty writing but so does the office, and community will not keep you laughing continuously for the whole 20 minutes.

The leads, Jeff and Britta are fine. Annie and Shirley can get annoying sometimes but they're ok. Pierce and Chang and the Dean are hilarious, while Troy and Abed is the best friendship/duo you can find on TV. Their chemistry and timing are just really good. The new characters introduced in seasons 5 and 6 are also pretty good.

Community is very rewatchable and remains one of the most underrated sitcoms on TV. Glad it's finally getting some recognition on streaming services.",8

I did not hate knives out but I have a hate hate relationship with rian Johnson and the same result of my sickness happened during the last Jedi shortly after gravity in space became possible. I like a lot of these characters. Daniel Craig is the man, but how he was the only character I could stand to listen to doesn't bode well for this movie when his accent is so unnerving.",2
"The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues strong with this one. The events of the second Avengers movie, combined with the events of the second Captain America movie, continue to take their toll. The Avengers have become the supreme force on Earth through the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. and their victory over Ultron. But supreme force demands supreme resistance and thus the Avengers have to ask themselves: is their very existence begetting more problems than they can solve and if so, should they be held responsible for it.

Captain America has become the central icon of Marvel movies, perhaps even more so than Iron Man and this is shown in his movies. This could easily be called Avengers 2.5: Civil War. It has almost all of the characters, it moves the universe forwards and its themes will echo throughout all the movies that come after it. Things change with this film, nothing will be the same.

And it's simply a good action movie on its own. The cast is still absolutely fantastic, especially Chris Evans as Steve Rogers and Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark. Every scene the two of them are in is some of the finest character acting I've seen in a while. Especially because they have such heave themes to discuss. And while the movie itself leans slightly towards Cap's position, it makes Tony's point of view painfully clear and relatable. People should be held accountable, power requires oversight and the strongest should lead the way for everyone. It's just a matter of how they go about realizing these ideals that set these two apart.

Furthermore, the new and returning lesser characters are both very good, especially Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther. I can't wait for his stand-alone film, having seen this! And, as always, the action scenes are phenomenal, the production values are as perfect as they can get, the humour works and it's just an all-around good movie.

If I had to nitpick, I'd say that it perhaps a bit grim for my tastes. It has humour, certainly, but the storyline itself is pretty bleak and the ending especially will divide opinions. Personally I can say that I respect its ambition and scope more than I actually like it. Let's just say that we're pretty far from the days of The Avengers and it's light-heartedness, and leave it at that.

Still, definitely a film worth seeing for all fans of Marvel. They haven't dropped the ball yet.",8
"This movie gave me everything I wanted and more. It contains the greatest action fight scene in any superhero movie without a doubt (Airport scene). All the heroes had a time to shine, with Spiderman, Antman, and Black Panther stealing the show in my opinion. The plot was complex and deep, with Zemo being a pretty good villain, despite not being anything like his comic counterpart. The comedy hit hard when it needed to, but this movie contains the most heart and deep conflict compared to any MCU movie. The acting was phenomenal from the spectacular cast. Chadwick Boseman played an amazing Black Panther, but it was Tom Holland aka THE GREATEST SPIDERMAN OF ALL TIME that took my breath away with his performance. This was the film we had all been waiting for and it exceeded my expectations, becoming my favorite comic book movie of all time, which previously was the Winter Soldier and the Dark Knight. I give all the props to the Russo brothers and completely trust them for Infinity War.

I give this movie a 10/10 and I can't wait to watch it a couple more times.",10
"Hi, This is the third movie from Imtiaz Ali's Direction. I didn't like this movie as his earlier movies. Still i am giving this movie 7 out of 10 because of very good performances of Saif, Deepika, Harleen & other characters but for direction i will give him 10 out of 10.

As earlier Imtiaz's movies have lot of comic & funny moments this has very little comic scenes & a lot is focused on Romance. So if you like romantic movies, don't wait & go for it.

There is nothing much about the story as it is simple love story a boy & girl in love but didn't realize it. But the most important thing is the combination of two similar stories of different times at very best.

At the end it is a good movie will beautiful performances....",7

I must gave all the praise to Marvel for doing this movie way much much better than what DC did with Batman and Superman.. Clearly Russo brothers know how to make a movie about our favorite superheroes battle each other.. Even though it is a multi cast movie with a lot of our favorite stars and character just like Avengers, but the character development for everyone is fair and square with the scene-stealer goes all the way to our young Spider-Man with the wonderful performance from Tom Holland.. Russo brothers did it all, with a really simple story they can develop each of our superhero character proportionally that they can shine on their own.. Such as Black Panther which is for me Chadwick Boseman did an amazing job portraying it..

Overall, it is a superb opening to the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 3 and definitely can't wait for the Avengers back in action again together in Infinity War",10
"Far far too long and has too many plot holes for a film trying desperately to cover every possible angle. 'Interstellar' started positively, but in soon this escalated into something which can only be applauded for its sheer cinematography and effects. The rest was quite frankly fluff ruined by poor explanations, we're led to believe this farmer was once an incredible astronaut who has to have wormholes explained to him. The twist to the movie was unfortunately clear to see from pretty much quarter of the way through which really ruined the finale. The last on screen moments also where seemed rushed and we're misguided as to what the real focus should have been. Overall the movie was mesmerising in very few places, but when done, it was done well. For the rest, it disappointed greatly, mainly being boring, flat and really lacking in memorable moments to make it the blockbuster it should have been.",5
"I've always loved the body swap idea since it was introduced. Also wondered how it work in an R rated version. Basically the same plus a bunch of vulgarity. Ryan Reynolds basically plays the doofus character he is known for, and this is too bad. Always crass and swearing, he actually does pretty good when he's more serious. I enjoyed the movie, not really any surprises but crude doesn't always mean laughs. I wanted it to be much funnier. The only point that really got some laughs for me was the babies being changed in the middle of the night, which I'm assuming were actually Computer generated babies.",6
"One of the most heartwarming films ever. Inspiring and beautiful story, well directed, well curated screenplay and wonderful music. This movie showcases a deep rooted experience of how a pet can cure human's problems with immense positive energy. Charlie is very well trained actress, performed well adding huge value to the well performed Rakshit Shetty.",9
"It's an 8 for me so far. I am not familiar with The Tick Comic. The show is quirky, but it's very well done with the priviledges of good writing, and an adequate budget.",8
"Funny, campy and weird. An easy to watch crime comedy that takes you all over New York and keeps you guessing. It's well produced and has a decent cast.

The jokes can get a little repetitive and forced; especially the ones about age and Charles' (Brazo) 'bad acting'.

Something that cannot be ignored though is Selena Gomez's acting. Emotionless and wooden when she speaks, almost not even opening her mouth to deliver the lines. It's very distracting. I don't understand why they could not have found someone else for that role.

Still looking forward to Season 2 though and I heard there may be a season 3 in the works.",6
"I today's super quick, 10 second attention media, I struggled with the first few episodes. My brain wasn't used to having to concentrate and invest in a show. But eventually I realised it was my brain not the show!! And after investing in concentration the show opened up and was worth the effort. I've always thought Paddy Consindine was a good actor. But he's absolutely incredible in this series. Especially towards the latter part of the series, he's utterly, totally believable. I enjoyed watching his performance, sometimes you just know you're watching something special, an artist really in the zone, at their peak: Paddy was there for this show. He deserves an award for the way his character develops. Matt Smith was also excellent and all the cast was brilliantly cast. Really looking forward to the next series.",8
"... for the couple and the audience, sees them attract and repel like spinning magnets, often at the same time, for far longer than is good for anyone. Lost all empathy around half way but ultimately six hours I'll never see again.",6
"I gave some latitude to the early episodes being boring on the basis they were developing characters and the story but by episode 5 I have realised that it is just boring. There is no real intrigue, the characters are limited and the story is not exciting enough to hold any interest. I loved Matt smith as Doctor Who, one of my favourites after Tom Baker , at this stage I wish he would find a Tardis and escape from this dismal series. I have decided to avoid further episodes and do something more interesting like cut the grass in the garden . Perhaps I will hear there is something major in later episodes akin to a red wedding and excitedly return , but unfortunately I very much doubt it.",4
"A truly pointless movie if you can call it that . I wish I hadn't wasted almost 2 hours on this . Ralph Fiennes is a great actor and should have avoided this . Everyone was deadpan and lacked anything remotely artistic. The thrills, shrills and spills were constipated at best . Maybe the director was just high - who knows .

I'm surprised Disney actually put it up on their platform so good I didn't waste any money in theatres . What trips me up is that this nonsense actually got a 7.2 rating and some people rated this as a satire - of what ? Their non existent brains or their pathetic reviewing skills.

Avoid !",2
"The title of Knives Out, combined with the opening sequences, suggest that you're going to be taken on a dramatic ride of quarreling and backstabbing that culminates in the answer to who done it. Unfortunately that drama never really gets fully established enough to make the ending convincing or satisfying. The script also frequently falls into the pit of telling and not showing, which is understandable to a degree considering it is a story where investigators use interrogation to help uncover the mystery, but it just feels awkward being in that pit during especially key points in the story. The nicely assembled cast offers some fine performances with what's there, but the prevailing feeling at the end is that there could have been and should have been more.",5
"Imtiaz Ali's vision might be tough for few to understand and understandably they wont like or get it.

But those who gets the depth of each sequence what he is trying to portray on screen will always will return happily after watching movie.

Coming to this movie, from my point of view it is one of Imtiaz's best work .

Saif is outstanding and his best work after omkara without any doubt. Deepika was also great. Music was faboulous.

But the real star is script and Imtiaz. His way of depicting human emotion in this movie is amazing (for instance harleen drinking black tea at midnight interval shot and many more).

If you feel emotion & love deeply , you will not be disappointed !!!

10 Years down the line , still watch it time to time to reignite the understanding of real love and reminiscing my college days when watched it for 1st time and being in love ..",10
"The if it ain't broke don't fix it scenario doesn't work this time. I intentionally skipped the first film because i already knew the whole family are to blame but this one, it's down to one person.

Rian turned simpler old school plot from the first film into a woke pandemic era message about who shouldn't be trusted because there's no way the whole group are responsible for someone's death. ""Diverse"" characters from a megalomaniac, corrupt female politician, greed fashion designer and andrew tate-esque social media influencer are conspiring behind the innovator's death just because they wanted her out from the company and the main megalomaniac wanted to steal her ideas.

The characters and the production design carried the whole film but the writing is so messed up. Don't get me started at the twists and the ending. The major supporting characters are most likely won't return in the third installment as well.",5
"Steven Spielberg has always been my favorite movie director of all time and I'm not going lie. I almost doubted him. The last movie I saw that he directed was Ready Player One which remains one of his greatest achievements as a storyteller. After his remake of West Side Story and hearing the runtime of The Fablemans, I wasn't sure if he still has his magic. But this movie proved that you shouldn't underestimate him. It was beautiful, inspirational and well written. Loved the cast, dialogue and themes. I'm rooting this movie for Best Picture, Director, Actress and Original Screenplay. I loved Wakanda Forever but this movie takes the #1 spot as the best movie of 2022. Watch it and be amazed. It'll make you want to be a storyteller like him.",10
"Eight years into Marvel Studios' multi-property film franchise and its increasingly convoluted continuity, a movie as good as ""Captain America: Civil War"" (2016) is truly and delightfully surprising. While I doubt it could stand alone, and is guilty of a few shoe- horned cameos and more than a few plot contrivances, the second instalment from Joe and Anthony Russo (directors of the previous and similarly impressive Captain America: The Winter Solider {2014}) is a success. As an action spectacle it is above par; as a springboard for future franchise films it is reinvigorating; and as a meditation on the problem of superheroes' power and sovereignty it is the best since Zack Snyder's ""Watchmen"" (2009). We are not likely to see critical reception that puts it in league with Christopher Nolan's ""The Dark Knight"" (2008), rather condescendingly hailed by non- superhero fans as something ""more than a comic book movie"" (Roger Ebert). But ""Civil War"" is every bit as engaged with themes of authority and morality as Nolan's seminal work, and borrows much credence from the Marvel Cinematic Universe's well-established lore and cast of characters. It is as close to the true, transcendent experience of comic book fandom as we have yet to see on the big screen.

Following the events of the sadly inferior ""Avengers: Age of Ultron"" (2015), Steve Rogers as Captain America (Chris Evans) leads a new team of superheroes in pursuit of a minor villain leftover from ""The Winter Soldier"", only to sustain a large number of civilian casualties. It's the final straw for the governments of the world, says long-absent Marvel player General ""Thunderbolt"" Ross (William Hurt, last seen in 2008's ""The Incredible Hulk""). Now a superhero registration act is in order, rendering all enhanced individuals legally beholden to the United Nations and impotent to act without democratic approval. Humbled by the weight of failure from previous films, Tony Stark as Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) is in favour of the proposal. Rogers, ruffled by his intimate experience of governmental corruption from previous films, is suspicious, but might have agreed to compromise if not for the involvement of his life-long friend turned Soviet sleeper assassin, Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Staan - the aforementioned Winter Soldier). Barnes has been framed for a terrorist bombing in South Africa and Rogers is alone in defending his innocence. With the help of a mystery malefactor (Daniel Bruhl), the rift between heroes grows into civil war...

The basic premise of this film was adapted from a cross-over Marvel comics event of the same name (published 2006-7), and represented a major paradigm shift in post-9/11 superhero narratives. This arose from the undeniable fact that it was becoming impossible to appreciate large-scale urban destruction without qualms, and that superheroes have always left large-scale urban destruction in their wake. It is something that has been addressed in previous films, particularly ""The Avengers"" (2012) and ""Age of Ultron"", in which writer-director Joss Whedon made a point of conflict containment and showed Rogers doing everything possible to clear the battleground of bystanders – maybe that way we could cathartically enjoy New York's decimation again. But the Avengers are making one hell of an omelette here. ""You try to save as many people as you can,"" Rogers confesses. ""Sometimes that doesn't mean everyone"".

This is Captain America's polite way of using the phrase ""collateral damage"", a theme that has wormed its way into the heart of superhero culture over the last ten years, and to great effect. That ""Civil War"" takes an issue like collateral damage so seriously is its finest quality: we have here a film that does adhere to a fairly formulaic script wherein a villain turns the heroes against each other (seen in both Avengers movies), but not one that lets the heroes off that easily. While much of the story is somewhat contrived - utilizing the classic trope of villain-as-impossibly- prescient-mastermind-who-knows-what-every-character-will-do-every- step-of-the-way - the conflict at its heart is not. It is a very real ideological difference that exists between Rogers and Stark, and not a misunderstanding used to justify a series of fight scenes. ""You're wrong, you think you're right, and that makes you dangerous,"" claims the film's most exciting cameo character. It doesn't matter who he's talking to.

At the same time, the movie remains a solid melodrama, such that we feel the personal stakes which all stories require to function at an emotional level. Stark and Rogers take their sides on principle that is not abstract, but informed by personal tragedy. Bolstered by thematic ties to the story's two main antagonists, ""Civil War"" works as drama as well as dissertation. This is all especially impressive given the studio mandates which must have been weighing upon it, to consolidate the plots and characters of Marvel's eleven preceding films and set up the seven films slated for release by 2019. This is a juggling act of economic, thematic and storytelling responsibility that is rarely executed with such aplomb in the arena of Hollywood blockbusters. It will make money and please fans, an increasingly difficult double threat for superhero cinema. And while it requires a baseline of fandom to operate as a good film, it does do it. It is a story about power; it is a story about people. After all, every story is.",9
"Jo Jo Rabbit is a pretty good film. It has great acting, good cinematography, characters you can easily get attached to, etc. If you like sad, heartwarming though comedic films and don't get offended easily, I advise you watch this film; you will love it. However, if you are an action lover, are german, or are sensitive to '' dark humor'', I recommend you to not watch this film. There are many offensive jokes, there isn't much action, and the film portrays the germans as fools.",7
"Ignore the reviews that give Gravity 1 star and ignore the ones who give it 10! It's a damn good ride for 90 minutes. Anyone who thinks a sci-fi film has to be believable or closer to reality shouldn't be reviewing it. It's not the greatest film ever made, but if you give in to the fantasy, you'll be on the edge of your seat. A lot. If you go in as a film critic you'll come out disappointed. Sandra Bullock went up in my estimation after this and although I'm not a fan of CGI, the visual experience is immense (I reckon CGI should be a last resort when you can't use other methods, not used for everything for the duration like revenge of the sith). Apollo 13 was a better story (given it was real!) but it got dull and you can't say that about Gravity",7
"Fableman is a touching movie that tells the story of the Fableman family, a Jewish family. Burt Fableman, is a hard-working scientist who is so much into the science that he sees all other things as non contributing.

The movie deftly uses Burt's complicated relationship with his son Sammy, who is passionate about movies, to explore the complex dynamics, struggles, and emotional differences of the Fableman family.

One of the movie's strengths is its delicate handling of infidelity, which is presented from multiple perspectives, showing the layered complexity of love and relationships. The reactions of the kids to their mother's affair are particularly poignant, and the movie does an excellent job of exploring the reasons behind the infidelity and its impact on the family.

The movie also brilliantly uses foreshadowing to create tension and drama. For example, when Burt's wife insists on hiring his friend as an assistant, it seems like a strange detail, but as the story unfolds, it becomes clear how it fits into the larger narrative. This is a testament to the movie's brilliant use of a ""McGuffin,"" an object or detail that propels the story forward.

While Paul Dano's performance as Burt Fableman is solid, the standout performances come from the rest of the Fableman family. The nuanced portrayals of the family members allow the audience to fully immerse themselves in the story and empathize with the characters.

One of the movie's most powerful themes is the tension between Burt and Sammy over the latter's love for movies. Burt, who is deeply scarred by his experiences in life, initially dismisses Sammy's passion for cinema as frivolous and unimportant. Through the ""Sammy""'s eyes you see the value of storytelling and how it can help people process their emotions and make sense of the world.

Overall, Fableman is a beautifully crafted movie that captures the complexities of family dynamics, the power of storytelling, and the impact of historical events on ordinary people. The movie is a must-watch for anyone who loves thoughtful, emotionally engaging cinema.",8
"I love movies, all genres, and I don't deliberately knock a movie just for the sake of it. But this was a bore-fest. How could any director take a pivotal moment in the Second World War, a truly dramatic, heroic, incredible rescue of 300,000 trapped men, and serve it up in this sleep-inducing monotonous style? From the first moments the soundtrack grates on your ears...imagine being in a huge thousand car traffic jam and all the other motorists are honking their horns at the same time and you put your fingers in your ears to try and block out the sound but it seeps through anyway...that's what this soundtrack is like. Now I recognize that some of the scenes are technically well filmed, but there was a lack of dramatic build up of tension, it was filmed like some kind of long dream sequence. Really,it was more like a cure for insomnia. I really expected this to be a great movie, especially after reading the first reviews, but it was a turkey and left me cold. Where was the fleet of little boats and ships that was at the centre of this event? Conspicuous by their absence. My honest advice is wait for it to appear on DVD...and then...don't rent it!!!",1
"I watched this movie on an IMAX theater in my hometown (Qatif); it's considered a 70MM cinema in our standards.. As everything was vividly pink, that particular experience made my eyes very sore!! Despite that, I can safely say that the Barbie film is somehow a funny ridiculous film and I would confidently recommend to watch it over watching Nolan masterpiece of garbage (oppenheimer).

Is it boring? Mayyyybe but I don't think so.. does it need a 70MM IMAX? The answer is No No and No.. However, I strongly recommend to go and watch it in 70MM IMAX for the following reasons: the acting is acceptable; the plot is extremely silly; nudity and sex are alomst Zerrrro; you will witness different kinds of Barbie e.g. Skinny, overweight Barbie and more.. Simply put, it wins the Oscar for the most ridiculous movie of the year. So, stop the hate and go give it a genius try.",6
"I didn't enjoy the first Venom so I went in hoping for a better sequel since Woody Harrelson and Serkis were part of it, but color me annoyed. I liked this movie about the same as the first one which is not much. They just don't know who or what the character is. It is the first movie I actually thought was way too loud for no reason. There is no direction and I really think there will never be any.",4
"I literally created an account just to leave this review..I don't understand the hype for this teen drama cringe rubbish. I was excited to start this show and after a few episodes in I can't understand the hype for this generic show.

I really wanted to enjoy the show and maybe I set expectations high after seeing reviews online and all the hype around the show. But I found myself to be just cringing at every episode whilst finding none of the characters interesting.

It feels just the same as the new Sabrina the teenage which show, but tbh I found that to be better than this even.

I found Thing to be the most interesting character, and that's just a hand.",1
One of the best war based movie on Indian films. Bravo proud of you guys.,9
"Russo brothers wanted to explore another type of movie, they changed green sheet to real movie production for normal adult people and not for kids and teens. Story-wise , extraction is hollow, shallow movie but hey , same as for example predator or john wick , but those movies have some soul and created cult. Extraction is dumb, sweaty , gipsy but very good in execution.. I dont like Hemsworth , because he is not actor, he is movie model for audience, precious Russo brothers asset generating money. Extraction is very good if you want lazy movie and if you want to compare this flick to John wick or john wick 3 (i admit john wick 2 is inferior). You dont get bored, but you will be annoyed how cliche-esque the main character is. At least , again, if youre normal , adult human, not avengers empty fan. Actions scenes are good, well, not good, fantastic, and comparison with John Wick is in place but somehow extraction offers another angle, technically and with sorroundings. Plot is really hundred times recycled material with one big logical whole and with very annoying - liberal-esque ending where director and Russo brothers AGAIN are scared to make THEIR OWN decision but instead they again wanted to satisfy 100% of the audience, not 25 or 50. I recommend only if you want to see technically great movie with perfect action scenes.. nothing more.",6
"More Stephen and Mark less moon knight , Oscar Isaac was wonderful for me it's the best act in the whole Marvel TV shows , the show was more complicated than I expected but I wish in season two we see more moon knight , The story for me not too much , and I think most likely I am watching a therapy session maybe season two will have moon knight most of the time.",7
Disappointed. 6 years now. Do i have to cry to get the next season. Darn the actors r gettin old.,1
"I loved this show. It is by no means perfect but it was so much more than I ever expected it to be. It took a familiar plot device and did something I never expected with it.

Main things, I would reccommend watching it spoiler free and not expecting it to be a comedy. I think it will affect everyone differents but for me I found it incredibly moving, and based on many of these reviews a lot of other people did too.

Also, to those who reviewed this without watching the whole thing don't be surpised you didn't get into it. Particularly if you stopped watching due to the characters being unlikeable - trust me, its not an accident. It's actually part of what made it so good in my opinion, and is intrinsic to the plot.

Also also please don't bring down its rating purely because you believe this is a marketing conspiracy. Pinky swear I'm not a marketing person, I just really enjoyed this show and think it deserves to be given a chance.",8
"Most overrated show of the last 10 years. How this is at 9.1 at the time of this review is beyond me. Even with the amazing first episode I would not give it a 9, and after the first episode I won't give it more than 5 as a show. Pedro Pascal is carrying this solo and despite his best efforts it's not enough. Everything is half assed, pacing is terrible. Some episodes are fillers in a 9 episode season. It might be made for people who played the game but anyone else should stay clear. At the time of writing I've seen 8/9 episodes of season 1 and I honestly couldn't care less for what happens in the finale. There's no suspense anymore no urge no cliff hanger nothing to keep me at the edge of my seat. If it was a good show wouldn't be able to wait for the last episode but honestly if they said it was gonna release a year from now I wouldn't mind.",5
"I enjoy a lot of Nolan films, this one included but it was a very mediocre film and EXTREMELY abstract with some cliché' parts to it and story holes.

The visuals were nothing special if i had to compare the visuals to say like the movie Gravity than this movie would score a 6.5 for visuals. A lot of times it felt like a independent film. If it weren't for the soundtrack i would have never guessed this movie was of Nolans.

The acting was good. There are some capturing moments in the movie that make you sympathize with the story. But it's mostly at the very end

If your looking to enjoy a light movie then this wouldn't be it. It gets confusing and you really need to be on top of whats going on like inception.",7
"It has to be the sign of a great directorial talent to take an old and almost redundant storyline and infuse it with fresh life while still retaining the parameters of what is considered ""commercial"" cinema in the Indian context. Imtiaz's screenplay - with it's sparkling dialogues - is done complete justice by the lead pair. The director feeds off their obvious chemistry to shape effortless performances that really form the crux of the film. Kareena's portrayal of Geet is one to savour, and Shahid provides the perfect counterpoint. It seems Indian cinema has it's own New Wave happening in 2007, and Imtiaz is one of the people leading it. I look forward to seeing more from this filmmaker, and wish him the best.",9
"Bitched out with the 15 cert, poor script, weak story, zero threat. Aside from that Hardy did his best and cgi was pretty decent. Watch Upgrade instead 😉",5
"It's absolutely impossible to understand why critics and Hollywood considered this ridiculous and boring movie as one deserving to be recommended, or nominated for 11 Academy Awards, including the Best Picture category.

Even though the film has lots of expensive special effects, and good performances of the whole bunch of actors involved in it (including Jamie Lee Curtis' part as the IRS agent), it is absolutely void of any artistic essence.

While suffering watching this naive product, I was thinking about other films which had been nominated to several Oscars before, like the excellents ""BEN HUR"", ""GONE WITH THE WIND"", ""THE GODFATHER"", ""OUT OF AFRICA', ""LAWRENCE OF ARABIA"", ""PATTON"", ""THE DEER HUNTER"", ""APOCALYPSE NOW"", etc.; and came to the conclusion that films taste has unfortunately decayed through the years.",2
"The story takes place in New York City in 1926, approximately 70 years before Harry Potter's journey. Fortunately, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a more adult work. After all, anyone who grew up with the franchise is now an adult today. But don't worry, there will be no lack of magic. The premise could not be simpler - and in fact it yields expendable and childlike scenes. But that's it, it's just the premise. The script, written by Rowling herself, is much more complex than that, inserting several layers, knowing how to insert new pieces in her large board, guaranteeing a totally new look from the viewer. As said before, the feeling is different from being in front of a Harry Potter film and much of this is also due to the way these creatures play an active role within the script, not just in a timely manner like the hippogriff in The Prisoner of Azkaban. The change of air, of course, already gives a new tone to the work.

We see the magical universe of the United States being made and form in a magnificent way, with the right to president, congress and very different terms from which we have become accustomed, used in England. It is an excellent expansion of the magical world, in which for the first time we left that more restricted world of Harry Potter and started to realize that the magical world is present in the whole world, as well as in the world of non-magicians. Despite being in a world that shares practically the same rules, each witch society has its cultural differences (the American one is more conservative, in that it does not allow wizards to relate to non-wizards, for example, differently from British society).

Leaving England and leaving for the USA offers us a totally different view of this world. Starting with the different laws in relation to non-majs, something that Scamander himself calls backward. It is quite curious, as it is a social / political posture that, on some levels, is similar to what Voldemort preaches, especially with regard to the loving involvement between the two groups. This question only guarantees greater depth to Rowling's creation, one point dialogues with the other, while the word ""bad blood"" (in addition to many other factors, of course), gains an even greater repulsion from the viewer / reader - see, we are speaking of a curse that reflects a position adopted seventy years before the events of A Pedra Filosofal, a gigantic backward conservatism.

The interesting thing is the way the text deconstructs this archaic position taken by the Americans. Tina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston) is the one who represents this evolution of thought. From the beginning she had already shown some hesitation in arresting Scamander, but she is in constant conflict between her duty and what she really wants to do. Her sister, Queenie (Alison Sudol), externalizes this internal conflict of the character - one is more restrained, while the other expresses her feelings clearly, acting as ideal female counterparts for Newt and Jacob. The beauty of this is that we do not need to hear this fact through some speech, but we see through Waterston's performance, who gives us a woman who is precisely in the encounter between the past and the future - she, more than anyone, represents the opening the mind to more progressive postures, something that is made clear by your willingness to save Credence and not simply kill him, especially in the final fight inside the subway.

It is not that the work is absent from some slips, but its successes are able to stand out so much from the errors in such a way that we effectively feel as if we are facing something new. Although it takes place in the same universe, Fantastic Beasts does not have the same atmosphere as Harry Potter books or films, it manages to give us something totally new, familiar, but with its own identity, in such a way that we are hooked again into this universe of magic. and witchcraft. Rowling demonstrates her talent as a screenwriter by differentiating from the setting of her story, to the characters themselves, creating new personalities who do not simply copy those presented to us over the previous seven books. Above all, we are talking about a work that, despite being a spin-off, manages to stand on its own legs, allowing someone who has never seen or read anything from this mythology to fully enjoy the experience.

The script also addresses topics such as fear of the unknown, repression, religious fanaticism and demonstrates an important concern with representativeness when placing a black woman in the position of president of the magical community. And that should be explored further in the next films. Here we have some ""reality clashes"" in moments of wonder. In one second we are amazed by that new face of the Wizarding World and in the other we see the characters having to deal with situations that evoke the worst prejudices and hate speech in our real world.

Those who expect a production full of references to Harry Potter will be a little disappointed. But the truth is that it is good that Fantastic Animals is a work more closed in itself. There are quotes, of course, to characters like Dumbledore, to known spells, to famous surnames and to the relics of death, but nothing more than small tips or notes of what is yet to come. Rowling works well with these encounters and mismatches, uniting characters with specific functions to present a different, yet familiar, magical world. Rowling's narrative mastery is also remarkable in the precise mix of enchantment and terror. The interesting thing is that the plot preferred not to explore Grindelwald's journey in search of a pure race: he decided to go the other way, showing the prejudice of the no-maj (the American denomination for ""muggles"") against the witch community. Prejudice becomes an essential part of the arc of Graves (Colin Farrell) and Credence (Ezra Miller), characters that underlie what we will see from now on.

Yates proved to be the right choice for directing Fantastic Beasts. The director has matured a lot over the previous four features in the franchise and is already familiar with all the mythology created by Rowling. In addition, he was responsible for the most serious works of the boy who survived and knows how to print that more adult tone here. Not that children will not identify with the feature, but it is a more universal work in terms of age group, and it is not nearly as bureaucratic as Chris Columbus in The Philosopher's Stone or The Chamber of Secrets. The action scenes are able to deliver something that does not leave us completely confused and the director knows how to differentiate them throughout the film. Each brings us a different situation, allowing the narrative not to sound too repetitive. The presence of Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler) is essential here as in the rest of the film. It acts as our new gateway, the non-magic that is recently introduced to all this magic. Our enchantment is ours, since we ourselves know new sides of this universe, from the new creatures, like the charismatic thief of objects that shine, to the terrifying Obscurus.

Visually, the film is able to effectively present the contrast between Newt's journey and the destiny of the wizarding world, mixing scenes with lots of light and others that have a dense and gloomy atmosphere. This is very clear in the sequence where Jacob (Dan Fogler) walks inside Scamander's suitcase and walks through well-lit forests, meeting creatures with many colors, until he finds Obscurus, a beast of darkness. All this construction is very well accompanied by the melodies of James Newton Howard, who is able to resume all our fascination with magic through his songs with a more fantastic tone and inherits many of the great names, such as John Williams and Alexandre Desplat, who preceded him.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them can be defined as an experience that cohesively fits into the universe created by Rowling and also opens many doors, with the potential to captivate a new generation of fans who are discovering magic now, a definitive proof of how JK Rowling has control of this universe. More mundane than its predecessor Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them subtly presents the US context at the time, with the post-war, Prohibition and approaching financial crisis, to replace the hero's journey with a historical parallel that must reach World War II. The wizarding world has grown.",7
"This movie started off and ended with a lackluster action sequence, which was very hard to follow. The smash cuts and editing in general is atrocious. They really messed up the music, as it starts a second too late or a second too soon to make any sense in the moment. The action scenes are edited very poorly and often don't even make sense. It really pushes the character as bad asses. They often just forget certain skills they had just shown a second ago to create some kind of tension. The humor is generally good, Ryan Reynolds helps this movie a lot.",5
"Possibly one of the worst movies I've ever seen. From the very first second of the film has its foot on the gas and doesn't let off. The film plays like a bunch of 20min episodes rammed in back to back with individual story arcs every 5min which basically results in it not having one.

I'm only giving it 2 stars because the visuals were okay. Far from the best we've seen in a Marvel Movie but passable.

Save yourself 2 hours and read a 3min synopsis of the whole film and call it a day.",2
"Wow,

This is garbage.

Sherlock is unlikable and annoying. I'm 25 minutes into the first episode and can't stand it. However, with such a high rating I've got tot force myself to try and see it through.

It's written relatively well but the story is bad and the characters are bad. No thanks",2
"The introduction of spider-man and black panther was so awesome!The only thing I didn't like was baron zemo.I loved the story and the characters.Ant man and spidey was the best in my opinion.The black panther chase scene was incredible.All the actors acting good. The post-credit scenes gave us a hint about the upcoming mcu movies.The scene where zemo and black panther talks was good.The fight between cap,bucky and tony was amazing. The stan lee cameo was okay.The movie was not the best in the mcu but it was good",9
"I'm starting to wonder about your reviews here. I bought this movie due to Imdb's wonderful reviews. I was let down. My all time favorite movies correspond with your votes, but this like many others does not. Robert Deniro was awesome as always, but could not help this storyline. This movie is lacking any plot! The only reason to see this is the love of Deniro, if not save your time and money and skip this one!",6
"This movie has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life. Lazy acting. Even lazier writing. Horrible. Disgraceful. Disgusting. Wish I could have my 2 hours back or even be blind like the kids at the end. Nothing makes sense, nor is it even explained. Genuinely saddened that people like this movie. I would rather watch Shrek 3 100 times in a row than watch this movie again.",1
"You'll definitely like The Boys if you enjoy anything remotely fun about superheros.

Homelander is your main anti-hero character and you just can't get enough of his antics. He's a character that you'll probably start fanboying after a while, even though it does feel evil. The evil this guy portrays doesn't come from his actions alone, it's the perceived notion about him and the shroud that covers his actions. He is extremely obsessed about what he wants and a big time bully for all honesty.

Also, yeah, Stromfront is a reference to some weird side of the internet.

Also, Karl Urban plays Billy the Butcher and actually kills it with his accent. His acting is on point and once you find out why he does what he does, you start understanding the plot better.",8
"I'm probably an exception because I wasn't too impressed by ST sofar. I thought it was nice, but had a lot of silly, unlogical elements and the acting was, well, childish, not very well. I saw the appeal of the series but for me it was just ok, nothing special and the monsters basic.

When S4 started I wasn't planning to watch it. But as things go, I had a lost evening, just finished Love, Death and Robots' new episodes so I though: ""ah well, lets have a quick look"".

I have to admit that it was a good decision. Sofar it is an amazing spectacle with the episode of Max in the underworld as absolute high. Now the storyline with Hopper and Joyce is not the best part, it's like they had to find a way to fit them in S4, but the rest has me on the edge of my seat sofar....",7
"I completed watching Season 1 last night and I have very mixed feelings about this show.

I really like the three main characters. The interaction between Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) is great and Owen Wilson as Mobius brings some real quality. The rest of the cast are somewhat unimpressive so far, although in fairness, none of the other characters have had much to do/say so far.

I liked the rather Hitchhiker's guide feel to the TVA - when introducing something so bizarre it's always best to add plenty of humour, and things were building up nicely.

But then it gets rather silly and starts to resemble a low budget sci-fi comedy from the 80's. Eg The alligator I mean WTF!

I'm left hoping that this first season was all simply to test the waters, and set up for better seasons to come. The last two episodes had the feel of a hurried pilot. Only time will tell.",6
"Smart plot, and Lawrence is brilliant. But a lot of the violence/sexual violence felt gratuitous and unnecessary.",6
Awesome movie it shows the hard work of the director in this movie. He has given his masterpiece . Even the first poster of this movie can give the whole story of this movie and Gibran oww what a music it had made the movie more and more real . Surely I will say no movie can beat it . !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............,10
"If you're looking for an exciting, unbelievable, mystery movie. This is not it. Other than the unbelievable portion. Nowadays as long as we break the fourth wall as some say, then the writers think that's enough, without providing a good, fun or believable story. Really slow, and uneventful. But if you're bored, go for it.",2
"I've always been a car gal, so I knew the gist of the Ferrari vs. Ford story way before this film was made. When it first came out, I thought maybe I'd like to see it, but I can't STAND modern special effects, and modern films as a whole. So when I noticed it was going to be on TV recently, I DVR'd it. I could type quite a lot, but will try to keep this as short as possible.

Firstly, I have owned 4 Ford vehicles so far, and they are my favorite current American brand. BUT, my favorite racing cars are vintage Ferraris. So I was conflicted before I even hit PLAY.

I'll get my brutally honest negative opinions done first. The film is WAY too long. Most of the family scenes should have been edited out, as they only slow the plot down. Just because modern audiences expect women to be in a movie, doesn't mean they should be in every one. This is the story of Ford, Ferrari, racing, and the 1960s. Sorry, but women didn't play a pivotal role in the actual events.

It felt like I was watching a video game instead of race scenes. Granted, the effects are of high quality BUT they just feel fake. Go watch ""Le Mans"" or ""Grand Prix"", and you will FEEL the difference between CGI and the real thing.

Why didn't they even show the other two GT40s (black & gold) during the Le Mans race? I already knew about the 1-2-3 photo finish, and it seems to me the other cars should have at least been shown during the race. Otherwise those cars and drivers aren't of any importance at all.

Half of the actors were mis-cast, either not looking anything like the real men (a buff Iacocca??), or just plain over-actors.

The soundtrack could have been SO much better, too.

Stuff I DID like were details like the little lights which illuminated the cars' racing numbers at night. Engine sounds seemed accurate. I like how they showed the progression of the prototype cars, from the first GT to the MkII and onward. It was good to see Shelby driving an AC based Cobra, not a big fat-fender kit car like I'd expect Hollywood to give him. I did see what looked like a bad replica Ferrari 250GT California in one shot.

Matt Damon is SO not Carroll Shelby, but his acting was good nonetheless. The actor who played the lead mechanic sounded just like Dennis Weaver!

So basically everything put in the film for car buffs, I generally liked, though CGI will never win me over. Everything in there for female viewers (of which I am one) I thought was a total waste of film. A better soundtrack, some better veteran actors, and some more inspired direction would have made me happier with the film.

BUT who am I, after all?",6
This is not has good the first movie of Spider man. But it is a good movie. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It is very fast past. If you like action movies you should see this movie. It is an awesome movie. I can imagine any one who could not like this movie.,8
"Rubbish movie.

Saw it today and it was boring even though not that long. The only good thing about it was the bucket of salted popcorn that I ate and washed down with a pepsi whilst sitting through it.

Everything about it was predictable, to my anyway, the outcome, the characters, most of it has been done before and much better. the actors' performances were below par, they could have done better, there was nothing reflective about it, no locale atmosphere but that's because it was not shot on location and is basically a cheap flick that couldn't afford enough time to be atmospheric.

Of course it's heavy on a sometimes self-deprecating but still dumb and over-the-top American patriotism which the American audiences are sure to gobble up in huge doses which could explain its apparent success over there.

There's not much action in it but the absence of guns blazing or faces smashed or asses kicked is no guarantee of a good movie either.

There's little that's authentic about this film even though it's supposedly based on a true story. It just doesn't ring true. I think the decision to name it best movie was political.

Well, to use a quote from the movie, and its biggest punch line at that: Argo f*** yourself!",2
"Such a honor to watch a movie like this ,gr8 and gr8 work by the makers and salute and hats off to the mighty INDIAN Army,",10
"Oh, how I had such high hopes for this movie!! What a disappointment.

Full disclosure, I am a huge fan of the book, I didn't hate that it was (soooooooooooo) different from the book, in fact, that race scene, at first I rolled my eyes when I realized that that was the first challenge, but ended up really liking all that action, so it being different wasn't the problem.

I hated it because it was just scenes - nothing felt organic, nothing evolved naturally, this is supposed to be an adventure, but it was just page one... page two.. say this... stand here... ok, moving on.

Stuff just happened without any emotion... it was such a throw away from something that could've been awesome. Also, too much lens flare.

Positives: The stacks.

Negatives: The movie.

What a load...

I gave it a four because I love Spielberg and I said ""Oh"" out loud twice... if not for those two things, I would've gotten the 1 that it deserved.",4
"My very honest review, first few minute of first episode was the best moment of this series, if Game Of Thrones is over 9, Witcher is under 5, the video-game story and acting was way better than this, the dragon :) phfffff, I hope it gets better in next season.",5
"Best TV series I ever watched. Terrific actors, every one of them. It's great how they kept it up right until the finale of the last season. Even that last hour is edge of your seat, and... beautiful.",10
"I applaud the Russo brothers and the writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely on a job well done in this action thriller The action is riveting as are the quite scenes between the characters. There are Good humorous punches in this script also. The returning cast are great and expanding their roles from other movies, I am trying to be vague here as not to ruin the movie. Also there are some great additions to the cast as well. Anthony Mackie does a soaring job as the Falcon (pun intended), he has a very comfortable fit to the cast and no way feel forces in. Robert Redford is a very compelling character and presence on screen. The action scenes were fantastic when I saw the resume of the Russos's movies I was a little worried, now I think they might have to worry about being type cast as action movie directors. There are a few changes from the comic book story line but they are not distracting. The Winter Solider is a movie that greatly expands and shakes the foundation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Stay for the two end credit sequences. I really enjoyed this movie and recommend it. If it's action you want. Go see the Captain.",9

Listen to the heart tugging strings as the Ronnie Howard team schmaltzes up a good story and makes it all shiny and happy! The saccharine level was tough, but with enough salt from the popcorn counter I just about made it through. Never mind that the true story of this man is amazing, like Disney before him (and the glowy sitcoms that informed his 'early work') Mr. Howard takes a tough and beautiful story and grinds it down so that it's almost unrecognizable. Shameful how we eat it up.",1
Good if you don't watch the last part of the movie.,6
"This movie is not only an actually funny comedy with an amazing script and good jokes, but a seriously intense story of womanhood, girlhood and motherhood that portrayed how much the patriarchy affects everyone. As a girl, this movie resonated with me and every single line about being a girl in this world hit me hard, but it was so beautiful. I've seen men say that this movie was 'feminist garbage' or 'over-exaggerated' but it honest to god wasn't. Not only this, but while being a movie that accurately represents the feeling of not knowing who you are or what you are going to be (aka girlhood) it was pro-men and not in a bad way. Somehow, a movie so strongly empowering women also gave men feeling and hurt. This made the movie so honest and just good. I could go on for hours about how much this movie means to me, and that it's something with messages that will stick with me forever.

With all this being said, it was funny as hell and my whole theater was dying at some of the jokes made 😭 they did not hold back.",10
"During the 1st 2 episodes, i was confused as hell what was going on and how this relates to the MCU, but from the 4th episode onwards, it was awesome. Glad i didnt give up half way through the 1st ep like i was about to. I would rate it higher but the 1st 2 eps did make me want to quit watching but the entire thing is still easily a 9 out of 10 for me.",9
The Godfather part 2 is one of the best movies of all time. In GF1 we are introduced to most of the characters in this second film and GF2 builds on that massively. At this point we as the viewer see Michael Corleone almost as a villain now. Al Pacino really deserved a Oscar for this film he was just brilliant and in my opinion this his best acting on film(big statement because he has many other great films) for example when Kay Adams tells Michael that she got an abortion he flips out. Also in another scene where he is picking up the kids from Kay he gives this look to Kay which such a vicious look without saying a word.These are just some of the examples of Pacino's great acting in this. Another aspect that I love about this movie is John Cazales role as Fredo Corleone. We got a view of Fredo in the first movie and it left us wanting more and we did get more in this second movie Cazale plays his role to a T and he makes you feel sorry for his character during the latter of the film. I can go on and on about this movie and its fascinating characters. A,9
"Today I have spent three hours of my life watching the moronic ""The Wolf of Wall Street"", one of the worst movies that I have recently seen. The decadent Martin Scorsese makes a film about the life of a despicable man depicting him as a hero or an idol to be worshiped basically with sex, drugs and lots of naked women. The characters act like morons but are not funny and the dialogs seem to be written by a teenager after taking them from a cheap motivational book.

The story is also terrible and is not clear how Jordan Belfort made money in the beginning swindling his clients. Further, are people that invest money in Wall Street imbeciles and do not request receipts? But the worst is, how could this flick be nominated to the Oscar? My vote is three.

Title (Brazil): ""O Lobo de Wall Street"" (""The Wolf of Wall Street"")",3
This is not the witcher. Unfortunately the show rewrote too many plot points and ruined the story. It's an ok hollywood fantasy series. But that's not the point. Its just a repeat of every hollywood trope immaginable. It was written by americans for americans and the witcher was not that. It had beautiful complex characters with their own individual flaws and talents. As someone who loves the books i have never been more dissapointed.,1
This movie is a classic masterpiece of hilarious flicks! Watch it for the lols.,9
"First of all, this movie only made money because it's a superhero movie, don't get me wrong, I love superhero movies and i wanted to like Wonder Woman, but I just can't get aboard the hype train.

** Here's why this movie sucks on its own merits: **

Movie part:

-For a superhero movie the CGI was horribly bad (they were also poorly edited). It is so obvious. I kept wondering if this movie was made in the early 2000's!!! How poorly can such an expensive movie use such bad camera angles in front of something as simple as a green screen? And every action scene was in slow motions! you can't do that!!!

-The first half of the movie was sooo slow I had to hold my eyes open To prevent me from falling asleep, then the rest I couldn't make sense Of the movie and I really don't think the writers knew either. Wonder A woman stumbles through the movie like a naive 15 year old imbecile who Hasn't hit puberty yet., she's a goddess for crying out loud (I know they tried to make it obvious she was a stranger to the World she just Entered, but for love of Gods they didn't have to make her stupid!!), the logic for not telling her who she really is, screwed up the movie . The way she kills Ares at the end, could have been achieved by telling her who she really was earlier, granted, it would have been a short movie but better.

-And me-Wow, she can talk different languages such superhero powers very amazing! I don't get why they tried to make it so obvious, they could have focused on something else.

-i didn't get why they had to show different races so obviously i mean, come on skirt, hat,... Are we 8?

Gal Gadot part:

-First of all, she was not a good choice for WW, physically amazon ladies are not stick thin models surviving on a lettuce leaf diet. and i don't get why everyone was praising the ""Israeli actress"" ,She had this weird accent and when she talked, she did this extra head movement which looked ridiculous. also bad bad acting oh my god.

-It seemed like Gal Gadot was constantly posing for a photo shoot instead of acting!! I don't know if it was all the feminists that boosted the rating of this movie, if it was… that's extremely sad.

Logic/mythology:

-WW's aunt sacrifices her life so that WW doesn't get shot from behind early in the movie. Later in the movie the villain tells her she's a god and only a god can kill a god. This renders her aunt's sacrifice an act of suicide because the movie went out of its way to tell the audience that all the Amazon Women knew she was a god.

-WW's mom, the queen, tells everyone not to do something only to have everyone disobey her. Not just once, but EVERY time she says don't do something, someone does exactly the opposite. I.E. Don't train my daughter to fight, don't let this guy leave the island, don't go with the guy leaving the island.

-Zeus creates the Amazons to defeat Ares. In actual mythology, the tribe of Amazons were the offspring of, wait for it.... Ares and Harmonia - a nymph. So, Ares is WW's father, not brother. Yup! Then Zeus, creates a child of his to serve as a weapon against Ares to save mankind, Wonder Women. Really? This sounds odd and forced in a Greek setting.

Humor:

-They dedicated a continuous 15-20 min segment and it all stems from the cultural differences between the Amazonians and humans. The bath scene (**Average man!** if only this part was done by a woman and we had all hell broke loose), sleeping in the boat, the secretary, the clothes trials... all stems from the same issue. It's the same material stretched for 15 mins

Music: Not bad. Not memorable either. in other word, Meh.

**Overall, this is a bad movie, made not to entertain but a quick money maker with main selling point: ""Female Lead"". Very overrated. This movie could have been something amazing, something that had new things to say, shame it didn't **

I don't do IMDb review but this movie sucked so much i had to I gather some of the best points people made and some of mine",2
"Such a useless show, and boring story. Maybe good for children but the writers are the worse. Some of the teens look too old. #1 series on Netflix does not say much for quality on Netflix.",1
"I'm a big fan of Marvel and I can say that this is without a doubt one of the best collaborations between Marvel and Netflix with great action scenes, although it had many weaknesses.

The first season of the series is very wonderful and with a very interesting theme, which becomes more attractive as we go forward and attracts the audience, but the second season, although the first part was very attractive, but in my opinion, it was not as good as the first season. They didn't spend many episodes treating or not treating Billy Russo.

I wish this series had a third season and they wouldn't stop continuing it.

8 is the score I give to this series.",8
Good watch on slower side. Lot to learn. I like Tokoyo and if everyone can be Tomoyo that will be great. Hope I find a friend like Tomoyo.,9
"First it was the book readers now it's the gameer Bois too.

Don't fret though. This series is fast paced, true to source but boldly experiments with some creative narrative. That is confusing the hell out of people. People fail to understand that there are people who haven't read the books or played the games.

Cinematography is mediocre, but season 2 has bigger budget so hoping it would improve. Some new characters are to be introduced. Everyone in season 1 has done great job. I like the casting of Triss Merigold unlike many who are simping for the video game Triss. VFX and sound design is great, watch it with good headphones or sound system. Background score is great but I prefer the video game score.

Editing is okay. I wish they'd let the scenes linger for longer time. Let us soak in the emotions. I personally would prefer more episodes per season. There are many lores in source material.

Give this a chance. It's not game of thrones or lord of the rings but it has potential to be its own thing.",9
"I tried 3 times and I still can't make it past the cigarettes. Seriously Quentin, please stop with nicotine the itch never really goes away and this was more in your face absurd level of smoking than any movie made within the last couple of years.

"I'm sure this series is a great opportunity for people stigmatized (Polish and Russian, domestic servants and mobsters) in hollywood to be protagonists of something that IS IN THEIR CULTURE AND IS POSITIVE

but as it's a netflix series you shouldn't expect any common sense

apart from the terrible baackwashiiing, the plot and writing also have nothing to do with Andrzej Sapkowski's short stories, so why use the name of his work in something that doesn't respect it at all?

JUST STOP, NETFLIX! THE WITCHER IS JUST A GENERIC FANTASY WITH NO VALUE THAT USES THE NAME OF SAPKOWSKI'S WORK, BUT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!",1

"Folks like me and you, come to see a Tarantino Film with great actors Leo and Brad. Half way through the show, despite having great art work and film that stays to the 70s, all of us are wondering...what on earth is this? Only people who actually heard of the infamous hollywood incident, would know what this show is about. Which is towards the last 40mins. The classic fable tale, summs everything up, folks are gonna lie to themselves, and claim this is unique and sophiscated blah blah blah. Unless you belong to that specific, smart group of people, you aint going to enjoy the 3hours long show. What we have here is the emperor's new clothes dilemma.",6
"Before indulging myself to watch the movie, I thought of getting a grip through the novel. So i purchased it with great expectations and was keen to read. But then, it felt like am wasting time with Green's endless ands and a desperate try to make you get a feel of story. I left it unread after fourth chapter as i had already lost hope and left with no interest continuing further.

Then i thought of checking out on the movie atleast, just to prove myself wrong as 7.7 stars meant something. Again, by the 30 minutes something, i was helpless and started fast forwarding it. Alas, it finished and i had no remorse for i dint waste my time in this peice if c***.

Guys, you really want to get hold of movies which are based on similiar concept, try Wedding Dress; one word, impeccable. This story seemed stretched and made attempts to make you cry starting from beginning that 'am cancer patient with this and that' and i dint get what not.

Heh, even 2 is beyond expectations.",2
"Another movie about the Second World War and another one with the same subject, after more than 20 others were done on exactly the same subject, the best being probably ""Dunkirk"" (1958), directed by Leslie Norman, with John Mills, Richard Attenborough and many others. I also enjoy the war films, don't get me wrong, but too much has been done, only I have seen a few thousands, from 1961 until 2017, made by Americans, Russians, Germans, French, Japanese, Italian, English, Yugoslavs, Hungarians, Romanians, Bulgarians, Poles, etc. This new Dunkirk is well done, realistic and spectacular, but useless in a world in preparation for a third world war... We got many other more actual and interesting subjects which nobody has the guts to approach... Back to this film: all the actors are OK, the direction and the cinematography OK, the special effects also. A personal point, everything we see on the screen seems too clean, it looks too much as a movie, if you know what I mean, the reality of those days was certainly quite different, much more misery, chaos, slaughter, etc. I would have wanted to see at least one soldier in a shattered uniform, broken into many pieces, the ships and the boats look like new ones, fresh painted, the streets and the buildings in the first 5 minutes the same... The best thing in the whole movie, the music of Hans Zimmer. Do you really want to see some absolutely special war movies, the best ever? Watch: ""Morituri""(1965), ""The Night of the Generals""(1967), ""Rome, Open City""(1945)Roma città aperta (original title), ""Enemy at the Gates""(2001), ""Tora! Tora! Tora!""(1970), ""Battle of the Bulge""(1965), ""The Guns of Navarone""(1961), ""The Longest Day""(1962), ""The Cranes Are Flying""(1957)Letyat zhuravli (original title), ""Ballad of a Soldier""(1959)Ballada o soldate (original title), ""The Forty-First""(1956)Sorok pervyy (original title), ""Ashes and Diamonds""(1958)Popiól i diament (original title), ""Kanal""(1957).",7

"The only good thing about the movie was its style. It is unique. The second thing was Al Pacino, I mean he just holds everything still while he speaks. REally commendable performance. The opening scene was fantastic""I believe in America"" perfectly lit shot. After that everything is a drag. I get bored by the end of the movie. It has elongated scenes , I mean these so elongated that you can take a nap without missing anything. It was more like a opera kind of movie. So the opera lovers may like this movie but for me it was boring. Go watch it if you kind of love family drama said in a kind of some song and well love to nourish the scenes",4
"We are in an era when MCU (Marvel Comic Universe) productions become a tentpole staple one finds rather too big to ignore on the radar, once or twice a year, there is impending danger of being ad nauseam. Re-reading my extolling review of CAPTAIN American: THE WINTER SOLIDER (2014), I am trying to figure out why the thrill has faded quite a lot this time.

There is no shame to admit that the action-packed superheroes scuffle set pieces are the highlight, as in two THE AVENGERS, in fact the movie should be renamed as THE AVENGERS 3, which could take a more impartial stand in the internecine war. Maybe one shouldn't call it war, there is disagreement, but not so serious, which makes the two teams' group fighting look more than a grandstanding drill, every and each one is too valuable to kill off (since they have an entire future universe to plan), even the sidekicks, War Machine is the closest one to be dispatched, right, Don Cheadle still needs the big cheque to finance his personal projects like MILES AHEAD (2015), his director debut biography about Miles Davis. This ""play house"" frivolity becomes the hot-bed for bathos (Vision is unfortunately underused for his puissance, in order not to cause casualties, he even has to accidentally undermine his own teammate), that's why by comparison DC's BATMAN v SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE (2016), self-serious as it is, still eclipses this one in its narrative coherence and dialectics. If the script could reveal the key twist earlier, which would give a perfect personal excuse for a more substantial battle pathos (Bucky Barnes could be a ruthless killing machine, right?), which only fleetingly takes place in the small-scale finale, so, this is Marvel's tenor, (notably antagonises DC Comic's darkness and solemnity) - why so serious?

Paul Rudd's Ant-Man and Tom Holland's young Spidey are competent comic relief, the former's low self-esteem can be perpetually milked to induce laughters and the latter's garrulousness as a rookie superhero can only be matched by the rogue iconoclast DEALPOOL (2016). Chadwick Boseman's Black Panther is introduced to ensure a more politically correct leaning (the first one born in Africa), so what's next? Asian or Latin American? Or an LGBT addition couldn't be more exigent.

Action scenes are sleek, often in close-range which causes some hand-held ricketiness, the indelible ones are Bucky's motorcycle hijacking stunt and Captain America's bulging biceps when holding a helicopter single-handedly. The ordinary human background of Zemo (Brühl) gives his motivation a more visceral arc, but as most villains in the franchise, the chance to consummate their scheme is largely stacked with random happenings other than meticulous plotting (why on earth the script would allow an imposer of an interrogator infiltrates the faculty so easily, as if no one there has ever met the original interrogator?).

A lethargy has been officially reached after this chapter, for me, at least, one needs more time to overcome it, sadly there is no stopping of it, next instalment is THOR: RAGNAROK (2017), which might explain to us the reason of Thor and Hulk's jarring absence in the fracas on earth, where is apparently too small and crowded for super-humans, deities and monsters, preparing for the next round!",6

"Perhaps one of the most overrated movies I have ever seen. I fear for a society that adores and embraces a movie without looking beyond the surface. This movie is, at its core, a celebration of mediocrity. Sort of like the current popularity of ""Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,"" (which lets the average person feel smart because they can answer easy questions) this movie is designed to make the average person feel great about themselves for being nothing more than average, just like Forrest.

I agree with the comments that infer a fascist or totalitarian subtext to this movie. This movie is designed to sedate the viewer into feeling as if the world is fine and dandy just the way it is, and that they too, without doing anything at all to improve, educate or enlighten themselves, can be a ""success"" without trying. A satisfied public is easy to control, for better or for worse . . .",1
"Great movie, wish they would have went into more detail about how carnage is actually stronger then venom, Or why he is a red symbiote when venom is black, instead of the 20 mins of venom and Eddie being split up and venom partying.

Would have been cool to see spidey or some references to there future battles instead that wasted 20 mins.

Movie kinda seemed rushed being 90 mins, should have made it 2 hours.

Nevertheless woody did a great job as carnage and it looked pretty close to carnage in the comics.",7
"I feel like i'm the only person on planet earth who didn't really enjoy this movie... it kind of fell flat for me, many cringey plot less scenes, unnecessary montages, etc...",4
"I'm a Marvel and DC movie fan. Unfortunately, this movie was just downright bad.",3
"This is an immense ode of Bay to Bay's style. An homage to himself, a big creative ejaculation on a cup given to the viewer. This is porn. A nonsense, disconnected and, sometimes, seemingly random succession of shots in a crazy montage without any storyline. All and each one shot is just a sample of the Bay style, a moment of Bay self-pleasure: high color saturation, car chases, explosions, airplanes and helicopters, more explosions, shots at slow motion, epic backlighting scenes of guys walking to a plane, or from something bathed in sunset light, nice sky shots, hot girls in underwear, more hot girls, schematic script with easy jokes and plain characters, more colorful car chases, blood, and an overall techno video-clip rhythm and stylism. Don't get me wrong, I am fine with all that. If I sit my arse on a Friday night, and play that movie in a relaxing netflixing night, I am totally aware of what it is. The problem is that the movie is a nonsense. The messy montage, the lack of storyline and the uninteresting characters makes the entire movie hard to watch; in spite of the music, one-liners, gunfights, executions, blood and all sorts of vehicles at high speed, the movie is boring. And this is, precisely, the worst sin of a flick of this type: to be boring.",3
"This is not a series. It's more like a collection of sketches. Which is perfectly fine! Just don't come in here expecting the show to go somewhere and enjoy it for what it is - a collection of cute sketches about the daily lives of high school boys. I found the later episodes better, once the characters were more established in my mind. Definitely a good watch!",9
"Are you kidding me? Is this the best Hollywood can come up with nowadays?You cannot empathise with any of the characters ( even the supposed protagonist) as they are not remotely likeable, and all they do is curse all the time. Is this bunch of redneck hillbillies reflective of small town America? Hollywood has forgotten how to fundamentally tell a story , which should be the basis of any engaging film.",2
"This movie is nothing like I expected AND I LOVE IT. Greta strikes again with the best combo of comedy and drama. I laughed, I almost cried and it was just the best experience.

Having moments when I just loved seeing the interpretation of the Barbie world, moments that shocked me of how well they described the patriarchy even through jokes, the moments showing the women maturing and growing up that almost made me cry. There was nothing I didn't love about this movie and I can't stress this enough.

Overall, this movie made me fell more empowered and confident than ever and I wish that everyone could have the same experience that I did.",10
"I have watched a lot of good television. My top 5 shows all time are: Game of Thrones, The Expanse, The Last Kingdom, Breaking Bad, and True Detective (S1). There are far, far better shows out there that I haven't just listed where WandaVision can't compete with them.

WandaVision is a set up show, plain and simple. The show is interesting if you want a full season of a mystery that is only as engaging as your interest in the characters and love of how the show relies on nostalgia of old TV eras. Aside from a long, drawn out plot involving Wanda and Vision and some boring side characters trying to determine what is happening in the story, there isn't much to enjoy. There are cheesy moments and there are moments where I think the show wanted me to care about characters, and there is some action here and there. I didn't find the character development to be enjoyable to watch.

But the biggest problem of the show is its terrible pacing. This show should have been 5 episodes maximum. With the 9 episodes, its drawn out, boring, not engaging unless you are frothing from the mouth for anything Marvel.

Go watch some excellent Television, perhaps some of the shows I have listed, come back and give this another watch. This show is barely a 6. If I could give it a more accurate score, its a 5.85 out of 10.",6
"All sorts of trash gets rated above 7 on here.

Two and a half hours of characters quipping, undermining any sense of tension or threat. Then again, when the main villain is also a wisecracker, it kind of fits.

Joss Whedon is a visually illiterate director and the most overrated screenwriter working in Hollywood. The endless and relentless quips do not a good dialogue make. He should've practiced directing between 2012 and 2014. Maybe he could have delivered, at least a competently made movie.

Whedon should stick to TV. It's clearly where he belongs.",2
"Way too much talk from secondary characters no one gives a damn about. The whole Billy thing is dragged out endlessly. We get it already, do something or go away. This season could easily have been 4 episodes shorter.",6
"Great world building, great characters and a truly magical plot.",10
"I loved it - I love film, he is an amazing producer and this was so well done .

Great pacing , incredible acting , the anti-Semitic undertone was powerful and well done . You really watched him grow up , the family dynamics were complicated and felt authentic . How relationships with his siblings were dynamic and real .

The backdrop of the power and importance of film was fantastic . It was there the whole time but it was not rubbed in your face , the scene where he sees himself filming the family argument in his own head was absolutely incredible and so powerful , as well as the scene with the bully at the end who he made to look like a god in his school film .

I love film so much and I felt like this was a true homage . You felt connected to all the characters and were engaged in the story - absolutely deserves the nomination.",8
"I was genuinely poised ready to love this film. A mystery movie with great reviews and a stellar cast? Definitely my thing. And... I liked it. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. I liked the cinematography, the characters and the acting a lot, even if Daniel Craig's accent got on my nerves a bit. It was really an enjoyable watch. But if I'm being honest the movie frustrated me, in that for the majority of the film it seemed to be solved in the first half hour. Of course, I knew straight away that what was being presented wasn't actually what happened, but it took a while for me to feel like everything was all heading in a direction and that's what was frustrating. As for complexity in the mystery, I had solved it a half hour before the ""big"" reveal. I also figured out the minor twists before they happened, like with the knife and the ink, because there were some pretty displaced clues and comments. Which in great mysteries, these clues would have been hidden well enough that you miss them the first time so that the twists and reveals are shocking, and the clues become apparent as you understand what happened or when you see the film a second time. But they were pretty obvious straight away in this film, that I predicted everything before they happened. So although this was a good mystery, it did not reach great. I like what they were trying to do, but they definitely thought it was cleverer than it actually was. Hence, sorry Rian Johnson, but you are no Agatha Christie.",6
"I'm only half way through this season and over-all I think it's ok. Well, except for one main aspect. This tendency for Hollywood types to want to change gender roles is becoming tiresome and annoying. First, why does the iconic Dr. Smith have to suddenly be a woman? Not that Parker Posey doesn't do a wonderful job. It's akin to making Indiana Jones a woman, which I hear Steven Spielberg is going to do. Also, I respect the idea of portraying Maureen Robinson as a strong, intelligent, and independent character, but why the need to portray John as the sad sack of a absentee father figure? He seems incapable of relating to his children, who are portrayed brilliantly.",5
"I did not read about this movie before I saw it as what I usually do with lots of Hong Kong films. However, upon watching the film, you realize very quickly that there isn't a story - or at the very least I should say it is extremely lacking. But even then, this isn't to say that the film is very entertaining and surprisingly at times, very endearing.

If you are a fan of Hong Kong films, and what I mean by that is by older films like those that have started and continued to spur Hong Kong cinema, then you will notice many references to these films. The first and most prominent is probably the reference to ""House of 72 Tenants"" with the ""sassy"" landlord and disputes over water to her use of language. As this film was a film that made Hong Kong cinema prominent again as opposed to mandarin cinema, it might be a reference to an unconscious or conscious desire for Stephen Chow and others that want Hong Kong cinema to thrive again.

But even if you haven't watched old Hong Kong films, you still can watch this film and be entertained. You are engaged in this entertaining ride with fight scenes, slapstick comedy, subtly beautiful characters and only do you stop to question what the film is about because that is a question that people ask in every film. Even though the answer you find is that there really is no story or that the entertainment factors vastly outweigh the story and can be seen as a fatal flaw to a film to certain people, it is still something that should be watched and then you can decide for yourself.",7
"I just watched the first episode, great acting and the whole setup looks realistic! I will continue to watch the next episodes.",9
"I really can't explain why this movie does absolutely nothing for me. It has a great cast that turns in some good performances, and the story is compelling; however, I always feel so empty after I see it. I get a similar vibe from FORREST GUMP and TERMS OF ENDEARMENT, to name a couple others. I can't really figure out why.",5
This drama is the worst I have ever seen.Its just a piece of abominable things.It contains sinister things.Just the shame things.Parental guide will make you just hate this drama.Its just a waste of time and nothing more.They have wasted their breath for it .It is just facile.,1
"Stranger Things is the result of if Steven Spielberg and Steven King had a baby. It's 80's nostalgia on overload mixing dark paranormal undertones with innocence and heart. Even when you see the recycled themes from a certain decade, it never feels cheap or beaten into the ground. It just feels right and keeps me wanting more. Character development is great with certain players who start off as shallow antagonists, become the reason for tuning in next time. When they bring in new characters in later seasons it usually elevates that nostalgic magnetic pull to a higher level and even the new youngsters are not wasted in adding crucial development to the big picture. Even when the parents seem utterly clueless and apparently absent from the kids lives, it transcends us to a childhood time where your imagination influenced your daily actions and trust between child and parents to come home in one piece were more socially accepted.",9
"Recently watched this psychological thriller .... it is a rollercoaster ride with so many surprising elements..its not an easy watch ,its dark, well written ,taut and an edge of the seat thriller.it'll give you goosebumps for sure.its hard to watch a film that much long in this genre but ram kumar has done an outstanding work and you'll be totally engaged within few minutes of starting the movie.its unpredictable, gritty, compelling psychological saga.Its background music make it even more intriguing.I'm still surprised why this movie wasn't even noticed in national award.after a long time , watched that much suspenseful thriller....watch in original language ....highly recommended",10
"It's very hard to find an original horror movie these days so I watch this with some intrepedation as very much aware that the latest horror movies have all been remakes so was pleasant surprised at this.

No spoilers but couple jump scares and one scene in particular in a hospital looked so real even me a hardened horror film fanatic was like whoah!

If possession movies are your thing then give this ago.

From the start I was hooked but then there was a little lul right after that which I was almost questioning my first original thought but then picked up and I'm glad I stuck with it.

You do actually care about the characters and they all acted the part well.

There are some questions which I feel needed to be cleared up but who knows that could be made clear if there is a sequel and I for one hope there is.

So recommend and I will be seeing the sequel if indeed they make one.",7
"One of the best film of SRK...........this movie have separate place in my heart since I watched it in my childhood......i still remember that day........I watched this movie in theater 😍😍❤

Great storyline, great casting, great songs,......................etc love it 😭😭❤",9
"First of all the movie was the most awesome of the big novels. I mean the director always has to change screenplay for big novels because of their sheer size. The Potter fans who only watch the movies and never read the novels will find every movie awesome but for the ones who read the novels and come to watch the movies, they will always be a tad bit disappointed. This one was not that. David Yates had the tough task of making a movie out of a book which for us fans holds a special place in heart. He did a great job of it and hope something good from the second movies as well. There are one or two disappointments but overall very spine chilling and enjoyable especially the dangerous scene where Hermione is left to fend off against a group of pure blood supremacists. The scene where Dobby dies was as emotional in the movie as in real life, but the burial was a bit incomplete. The actors have grown in stature as their characters too. Emma Watson did very well in her emotional scenes and the guys were good too. For me the best movie out of the lot. Waiting for the DVD's to come out now.

The only thing that remains to be seen is how the second part turns up.",10
"Just finished watching Marvel's Daredevil n i have to say that!! this is one of the most awesome comic television adaptation after the joke of Dc arrow and Flash.( pssh. i am DC fan boy, grew up with justice league and batman animated series)

A darker approach to the comic universe!! stunts, acting, casting all at the highest point!! Daredevil (mathew) is an awesome actor with skills of acting of top notch! he plays the character so well!! His craft as a blind person is too awesome and he doesn't loose focus at the uneven period's of the episodes.(the glasses helped him as-well) Where as, KIngpin played by Vincent d'onofrio is at a scary level, his depth in portrayal of the king of hell kitchen has detailed touch to it , the body movement, facial expression all are at a very high level.

Their younger forms which is attached to the origins of both main actors have played exceptional part as well. The casting has been at the top level as both seemed to have the charisma of acting at their disposal and didn't made it feel awkward when the real form came at the peak of the episodes.

The fight scene are performed at a mainstream movie level, it might get an approval from the master of different craft batman himself. Both kingpin and daredevil have done their homework and presented a realistic art of fighting and violence.

At the end of the first season, the birth of an inch experienced daredevil is shown and a birth of a new and better version of daredevil is set to take on nemesis like Bulls-eye. All i can say at the moment is bring it on, the couch is ready and the popcorn as about to get all the justice it deserves.",9
"Welcome back into the media cycle, James Cameron. Sometimes divisive with critics but always pushing forward, Cameron has often dragged the cinema kicking and screaming into the age of digital wizardry. His contributions to the medium have been rewarded by audiences repeatedly, adored by a burgeoning demographic in the eighties and frequently breaking box office records since releasing Titanic in 1997. But lo! Avatar: The Way of Water may buck the trend - rather than gross the GDP of Suriname, the film may only gross the GDP of Belize - a pittance.

The film follows the continuing lives of Jake Sully and Neytiri. When marines return to seek revenge and use Pandora as a second Earth, the couple must flee from their forest home and into the water of a coastal tribe. There, they must learn to adapt to their new home as Colonel Miles Quaritch, cloned and in an avatar body, searches for their whereabouts.

Avatar 2 is an impressively large and extraordinarily long film, but there is one constant which is unwaveringly distracting - the high frame rate. Talented filmmakers like Cameron, Ang Lee, and Peter Jackson, occasionally allow hubris to misguide them in their quest for innovation and cutting-edge superficialities.

To this end, all three are desperately trying to incorporate a higher frame rate into their films, which is said to make look film more ""realistic,"" a supposition I've never understood. How does an artificially inflated frame rate, the most standardized metric in art, look more natural to viewers who are accustomed, throughout their entire lives, to the previous standard? I humbly speak for the film-going public when I answer, ""it does not."" Avatar 2 further innovates by switching between (perceived) twenty-four and forty-eight frames per second. Although audiences are gifted less high frame rate, the technique only further distracts, as the film schizophrenically cuts between expected motion and horribly smooth action. It's also bound to greatly confuse those who notice the difference but aren't in the loop as to why or how. If the practice, inconceivably, becomes the standard, I may never see another blockbuster. Death to high frame rates!

Any given viewer's reaction to Avatar 2 will largely depend on their opinion pertaining to the state of filmmaking currently, relating to its trajectory since the release of the previous installment. Those pining for the days of practical effects and tangible sets having nothing to look forward to, but those accustomed to CGI spectacles will be comfortably pleased.

Avatar 2's effects are not dated, bland, or indulgent; most of the CGI is beautifully textured and necessary for the film's sweeping camerawork and general scope. The problem is that the underlying failures of computer-generated imagery are stalwart: the characters and objects are weightless, and the physics remain uncanny, even if the aesthetics are often breathtaking.

In 2009, the ambition of rendering the majority of a live action film in a computer (one which looked magnitudes more convincing than even the most impressive CGI of the time) was daring enough to justify a tradeoff in verisimilitude. The first film became the highest grossing film of all time (no, not adjusted for inflation) because general audiences had never seen such expansive use of CGI outside of a Star Wars prequel.

Now...it's all they know. Viewers will see CGI landscapes and effects in at least two trailers immediately preceding the film (Quantumania and Guardians of the Galaxy 3) which are just as colorful, creative, expansive, and busy. They might be cheaper, not as luxuriously rendered or detailed, but the novelty is long dead.

Pre-armed with knowledge of the industry over a decade, and the alarming gap between the two films, it's reasonable to assume Cameron would ration considerable time, energy, and attention to his script - he has not. Motivations, character development, and structure are still laughably childish and thin; despite the 195-minute runtime, the film is largely uneventful. Obviously, Cameron's M. O. this time around is showing off the technological progress and giving audiences a 2001-esque peak into his imagined world, but it's not creative or unique enough to warrant the length or simplicity.

Filling the void when spectacle fizzles is grating ""character work"" mostly centering around the offspring of our previous protagonists, Jake and Neytiri. The children are seen as outsiders to the new tribe and are challenged to fit in for the sake of peace and harmony, a plotline which derivatively borrows from the first film, itself an already-tired Dances with Wolves retread.

This desolate, barren story soil could be given fresh nutrients with intriguing characters or complex dynamics; instead, Cameron bashes his audiences over the head with one of the most well-trodden and insipid themes of the modern age. It's amusing: a character from a preceding Shazam trailer mockingly references the Fast and Furious films and their shallow fixation on ""family,"" which is followed by Avatar 2's three-hour opus to the word. There's probably some dystopian subtext to the recent fetishization of familial love, but the surface-level triteness alone signals a need for a new dead horse to brutalize.

Additionally, the dialogue is laughably blunt, a painful mix of direct verbalizations of feelings and irrelevant, throwaway banter, all articulated by way of grade-school-curriculum diction. The first fifteen minutes are also dedicated to narrated exposition, so rushed and pandering that Rise of Skywalker is blushing in the corner. If, as some have said, the first Avatar gained no cultural traction because it simply lacked a story and characters worth remembering, Avatar 2 will suffer the same relative obscurity. I hope the international grosses are worth all the monosyllables.

The performances are dutiful but unremarkable. Unlike the original, there's seldom a scene with real humans in the film, so the motion capture is forced to do the heavy lifting. Actors become voice actors, and only Zoe Saldana musters genuine feeling without being seen.

To be fair to Sam Worthington, Stephen Lang, Kate Winslet, and Cliff Curtis, the characterizations are too stiff and flat for any detailed emotion. Similarly, Jamie Flatters, Britain Dalton, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Jack Champion, Bailey Bass, Filip Geljo, and Duane Evans Jr. Work admirably as the scuffling youngsters.

Avatar 2 is exactly what audiences hope it won't be: a retelling of the original film in a different location, excruciatingly predictable and free of any character, thematic, or intellectual intrigue. Every story element and conservational ideal has been done before, and better.

However, this was also true of the original; it will be interesting to see if the technological promise and spectacle of the sequel are enough to lure audiences into theaters like they were a decade and change ago. Personally, the film evoked no particular emotion, but it did put me in the mood for Planet Earth. At least David Attenborough provides narration for subjects who can't already talk.",3
An honest review. Not a bot. It's a good show but not comedy although it has quite a handful of funny moments. My actual rating is 7.8 but can't give that by IMDb so I gave it 8. I like it n will like to see the next season becoz the last episode surprised me a bit. It's worth watching.,8
"After 5 minutes I got stuck in the series and watched them all. A good mixture of mediëval views, scenery and cast. Some of the battles are over the top but fit in the program. Can't wait for next season",9
"What & where was the storyline? If this wasn't Tarantino it wouldn't have got anywhere near release. A massive disappointment, Pitt & DiCaprio do their best & the film looks good, but this is self indulgent nonsense. AVOID",3
"Perhaps the most predictable, cliche, and naive show I have seen in a very long time. And the worst part is that it had so much potential!

I really wanted to love this show, but I just couldn't overlook all of its downfalls..",4
Thrilling story with interesting twist makes it very engaging,9
"Didn't see any previews going into this but was told it would be a spy thriller.

The plot is somewhat interesting, but the characters aren't developed much at all. JLaw's accent is bad and drops completely in several places. Gratuitous violence and gratuitous sex... I was almost at the end when I talked out of the theater during a torture scene. Just couldn't take it anymore, and the plot wasn't worth it!",3
"I don't know but it appears to me this movie was rushed into production. Seems like certain story elements were sacrificed for the sake of comedy. This film just tries too hard to be funny with some of the jokes missing the mark. The sophomoric humor really grew old after the first 20 minutes of the film. Whenever the writer(s) of a movie have to resort to penis jokes, you know they're grasping at comedic straws.

The first movie had a good Sci-Fi story interspersed with well timed moments of humor which I enjoyed. This film, in contrast, was laced with one lame joke after another that I've seen time and time again in other movies. I wasn't sure if I was watching a comedy trying to be a Sci-Fi film or vice versa.

I'm going to be reluctant to see the 3rd installment based on this experience.",4
"DeNiro's political, diatribe against the president made Deniro an embarrassment. He seems like a nutty old man wearing 4"" platform shoes because he's so short. Lately he called potus all types of names using verbiage like a new York gangster. This makes me think he's losing his marbles and believes he is a gangster, lol! He is beat, worn out, nutty, newly divorced again. It's over.",3
"I loved the first movie and the whole saga of harry potter, that's why I'm quite disappointed with this movie, they concentrated on making a franchise not a good movie, the script is a bit bad and many parts of the movie are pretty boring , the movie is quite predictable and some aspects of the movie which I didnt like I will not say it because contains a spoiler, however there is a thing in this movie that was good the action scenes are really entertaining. I think it is a start for the third film that I hope is going to be the best, something like Deathly Hallow Part 1 (I thing all this movie is a necessary filler for the next one).

I think the errors of this film were in the script and part of the story of J.K Rowling.",6
"SRK proved he's THE KING again! We were waiting for movie like this! This is the best SRK's performance after My Name Is Khan. -Mind-blowing performance(SRK's acting is beyond perfect) -Great script -Great directing -Awesome background music -Stunning locations -Amazing VFX ... everything is perfect. You can not miss to watch Shah Rukh Khan plays as one of his darkest avatars. SRK is amazing as Aryan but even better as Gaurav. After watching the movie Gaurav's character will chase you for long time. This movie will make you laugh but at the same time emotional. Will give you goose-bumps and will engage you 'till the climax. I truly recommend this film. You can watch it with your friends,family etc. Give this movie 10 stars of 10.Truly deserved. Especially SRK's acting.If you are a true fan of Shah Rukh Khan you will like this movie for sure even if you're not you can't miss one of his greatest performances!",10
"Black panther has 97% on rotton tomato and it's definitely overrated. The story is very predictable and ordinary, it usually goes: 1. black panther (or any other superhero) shows his power to make you know how good he is. 2. Reveal the bad guy part of the story 3. Reveal the good guy part of the story 4. Good guy and bad guy fight, bad guy wins 5. Good guy somehow find his power back 6. They fight again, good guy wins.

And it's the same here, No surprise, and many flaws. Why do they ride on rhino to fight when they have the best technology in the world? Why the technologies was not used to improve people's living quality. All I see is a fancy watch, but they still live in like the 50s. Every technology in the country seems like it's invented by black panther's sister.

Just disappointed.",4
"I don't have too many comments on FARGO (well-dissected here by others), other than to say that it's one of my favorite American films of recent years, and the definite high-water mark for the always interesting Coen brothers.

One of the most successful aspects of FARGO is its' agile blend of styles - modern film noir thriller, dark comedy, Americana-flavored drama, and the Coen's genuine affection for the regionalisms of America - shown here in the oft-commented-upon Minnesota accents - is on beautiful display. And - unlike some other of the Coens' films - I never got the feeling that they were looking down on their characters (which is usually true in identifiable 'regional' film).

The cinematography is unforgettable, making the bleakest of Minnesota's famous winters into something eerie and gorgeous (the opening scene will go down as a classic), and the razor-sharp black humor (my favorite scene: the parking deck ""Where's my daughter?"" scene, which is both brutal and very uncomfortably funny) is flawless throughout. A masterpiece.",10
"This movie was trying to supposedly make a simple point. It had lots of action that never really related well to carrying the story. It had lots of Asian actors and the only reason I can see it getting 11 Academy Award Nominations was to try to play to equal opportunity after Hollywood's blatant and recent failures.

The cinematography was good and effects good so that can get it several valid nominations (but not likely awards) but it clearly is another over-hyped Hollywood promotion. I would never again come close to this movie even on late night horrible cable and drunk out of my mind. I sat thru it in the theater just to see if anything decent came up and it did not. I will be sure to tell my friends and family.",2
"Overall a good movie on all fronts. The scenery is visually impressive, the tale between two main leads is almost too magical and it teaches a nice lesson to boot! Not a next monster epic, but a more personal and human story about life.",7
"Perhaps Sandler and Anniston were attempting to create a parody of classic whodunnits, but they failed to deliver even a single clever line in this film. The plot was so banal that I found myself drifting into an analysis of what work Anniston had done to her face. And, the interior shots of the yacht were so tacky, I wondered if they filmed it in some desert casino.

Honestly, I would have had more fun digging up my kids' game of Clue and paying it solo. Embarrassing to see two seasoned comic actors stoop this low. I will give it 2 stars instead of 1 because I did chuckle a couple times in the early scenes. But after that-yawn.",2
"How does this garbage have 8.6 rating from users? If you guys are getting paid to put 9 or 10 star reviews please tell me where to sign up. That's the only way this thing could've gotten anything higher then 4 star at best! It was such a boring, slow, confusing trash pile. I'm a fan of Christopher Nolan but dude messed up! That being said, every fumbles here and there and I'm not gonna boycott his films or burn the ones I have but be warned If you are a fan of his work. The only reason I gave 3 stars instead of 0 is because it does have some great ideas and was beautifully shot. But sadly this isn't enough to save the film. If you have to watch this movie turn the sound off and put on some music. It will be much better",3
OMG! I loved see the selena GOMEZ act again. Its soooo good.,10
"In summary, I would say about the film: conventional storytelling (the CLASSICAL story of kidnapping, solving the mystery and so on), but presented in a FRESH, interesting and cool format!

The story is not very compelling, actually, I thought it was very cliché, BUT the fact that we only get to know the characters, their emotions and their motivations through the dad's screen it's very, very smart and astonishingly interesting.

Either you like this kind of stories or you don't, ANYONE should see this film. It has uniqueness on its own, it's refreshing and intelligent.",5
"I like The Conjuring etc, the whole ""universe"" of it, not exactly a fan tho. I watch whatever they put out with an open mind and while this wasn't anything special, I thought it was ok. I would say it's kind of tame and cute for a ""horror"" movie, probably aimed at teens as the cast for the most part is kids and teens.

The acting is ok and direction, cinematography etc are good. I remembered McKenna Grace from the amazing Haunting of Hill House, funny how the same actors - kids mostly - appear on every other horror movie these days. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga appear a bit more than briefly, making this movie seem a bit ""bigger"" than it actually is.

One thing I did not like was one character who did all the things people are not supposed to do in a horror movie. The motive was there tho, but her actions were a bit too obvious. Script was pretty thin.

All in all fun watch, but nothing to remember really.",6
The best Spider-Man movie ever created and you can't tell me otherwise.,10
"Having played all the games myself I can say that I'm familiar with the universe. The cast makes little to no sense (Tris Merrigold having no actual red hair, Yennefer being 13 years younger than Geralt etc.) and the fanbase is complaining. Although partly agreeing with the mainstream, I still found myself enjoying the show. The scenery and music fit very well and the world they created gives the feel of the actual Witcher universe.

In my opinion, the show could have tremendously benefitted from a slower pace and more time to explain the origins of each character. It just feels rushed.

The highlight is definitely Henry Cavill who even gets his voice and charisma (if Geralt has any) on point. If the main protagonist wasn't that convincing, I would have stopped watching after the second episode.

Although an okay start, I'll be hoping for more the next season.",7
"The first original Indian series from Netflix; had a lot of expectations. I can safely say that most were adequately met, even exceeded.

While admittedly the story has nothing new to offer, this Bombay gangster series is stylishly shot and executed with finesse. Bombay becomes a character in the series and the chasm between the classes which is so in-your-face in Bombay is captured beautifully. All major cities have class differences but none of them are as stark and apparent as they in Bombay. I was also happy to see it called by its old name of ""Bombay"" in English and ""Bambai"" in Hindi -felt authentic.

The story itself is a cat and mouse game involving a variety of characters - mob bosses, religious figures, a gender-neutral character, corrupt cops, the inevitable honest cop, a female cop from a central police agency. While stereotypes are rift, there some funny touches. The nick names given by the female CBI officer to store numbers on her cell is an example as is the track of the police constable trying to get an intimate moment with his nagging wife.

The ending leaves plenty of scope for a sequel - I do not wish to get into spoilers but what is a thoroughly satisfying series seems subject to an abrupt end.

Saif Ali Khan is top notch and quite unlike an Indian hero for he keeps getting beaten up with alarming regularity but his character is the moral compass of the show. Nawazuddin predictably owns every scene he is in - it is an extension of his character from Gangs of Wasseypur. How you miss Manoj Bajpai though.

A great thing about Anurag Kashyap is that he is able to find character actors who leave such a strong impression on the screen. And ""Sacred Games"" is no different. All the character actors are uniformly excellent.

I tried listening to the track in English and it is atrocious. Not only does it take away from the authenticity of the proceedings, it is also badly dubbed. Imagine watching Narcos in English. Whoever took a decision to add a dubbed English track needs to given some counseling.

If you want a better experience, watch the show in Hindi with English sub-titles.

Vikram Chandra's novel ""Sacred Games"" was a critically acclaimed book, but it was a commercial failure. The writers have done a good job salvaging what is a middling novel at best. How I wish these same writers would employ their considerable skill to a nice World War era Indian thriller.

I look forward to more original Netflix Indian series soon.",7
"As I was browsing through Facebook, I came across the IMDB Top 10 Indian films of 2018. Of course I had no doubt that Sriram Raghavan's Andhadhun will make it to the top spot but I was curious to know the second spot, which went to a Tamil film, Ratsasan. I was so happy to watch this film that immediately I had to write the review to let people know about one the best who-done-it crime-thriller ever made in India.

Ratsasan tells the story of an aspiring film-maker, Arun Kumar, who wants to make a psychological thriller film. After being turned down several times, Arun finally decides to become a police officer but little did he know that the information which he collected to make a psychological thriller film, will come in handy to track down a psychopath whose victim is teenage school girls in the city of Chennai.

Ratsasan starts off with usual murders taking place in Chennai but gets to the point directly and keeps you engrossed till the actual drama unfolds. Few scenes in in the first half will send the chill down your spine while second half consist of momentum building up and will keep you tensed. There is a scene in the second half which shows a school girl's kidnap situation and how the police react to each and every step. It will definitely keep your mouth wide-open for sometme. But main twist is in the end which is the highlight of the film and you will know who is the main culprit here. The action scene in the climax is superbly executed. Credit goes to the director for handling the thriller quite well. Acknowledgement for screenplay as well. Dialogues are good. Story is awesome.. Hats off to Ramkumar for keeping the audience on the edge of the seat. A big shout to the writers for valuable story while dialogues are superb. Background score is superb making the film more intense. Cinematography is nice catching the essence of Chenna city while art direction is simple.

Ratsasan belongs to Vishnu Vishal as he will surprise you with his versatile act. I loved the actor playing the role of Christopher. Other actors were equally good.

Overall, a perfect what-will-happen-next thriller to enjoy and break-away from your usual daily routine. Superb 4/5",9
"No doubt it is a really good series(really inspiring one). But The Viral Fever haven't posted the last episode on youtube. As they observed they were getting many views on their idiotic website TVF Play, they removed the episode 4 from youtube. They also delayed the releasing date of the last episode a couple of times. Once they came to know that public is praising their work, they started playing with public's patience. If TVF would have upload the entire series on youtube, they might have got more views. Well, myself and many other people are waiting for 2nd season. TVF are releasing another series called ""Not Fit"", which most probably they will upload on TVF Play exclusively.... Everyone appreciated the fact it came to the Top TV Shows list on IMDb.",10
"First of all, I was excepting so much more since IMBD reviews are usually insanely strict and everyone else said it was a must watch ! That's the first reason why I'm giving such a low rate because it's so overrated and made me waste money when I could have waited for it to be on Netflix.

So yeah, movie is a total piece of c.... Lady Gaga is an astonishing actress and it's the only thing I enjoyed. I don't know what got into Cooper, but he seemed... how can I say this... Off. I could barely understand what he was saying, whether it was intentional or not doesn't concern me cause either way it added to the failure of the movie. What bothered me most was the swearing. Oh gee, the unforgettable swearing. There's basically swearing at every 2 lines, so if you're planning on coming with kids you might wanna rethink that. At one point I wanted to leave the theatre because the lines were unbearable.

The only soundtrack I liked was ""Shallow at the beginning"" or else, the songs were ok. The movie had insanely great potential, but obviously they failed. I personally think I would have made a better job at directing it, but Bradley Cooper tried his best I won't judge on that. Not worth watching it in the theatres",5
"I see this show being downgraded because it is animated but this is one of the best shows. Game of Thrones couldn't even get a good final season in 8 seasons and ATLA did it in 3 seasons. This show is my favorite of all time and I doubt any show will ever come close to being as good animated or not. The characters make this show, each one of them have their strengths and weaknesses. The story is amazing too. Just watch this show and you will love it too.",10
"Watched it second time today...but the chills i got were almost the same as at the first time...

#URI #HOWS_THE_JOSH ^_^",10
"It's slow and boring and lacks any real content. Definitely not TVF level of quality. It's maybe worth 7/10 at most.

Definitely not a 9.7. Super over-hyped.",1
"The tension was palpable at all the right moments in this one with fleshed out characters all the way through. Gets better with every watch.

Also, Operation Paperclip was real. Look it up.",8
"Enjoyed the story and the action so much. Oscar Issac is great as well, it's cool to see a series that finally references the Egyptian pantheon. It's totally worth a watch.",8
"I seriously hope Tom Hardy got paid a lot for this as the movie will not do much for his portfolio!

The only way to watch this movie is tongue in cheek as the story and script is very childlike which when you consider Tom Harry's past roles in Taboo, Peaky Blinders etc it is amazing he considered this ! Guess if the pay is great and you don't have to worry about the role and can just play stupid and have fun then I see the appeal for him!

Think kids will love the film as there is not much to it but alas I am at the age that I need more substance.

Harmless fun not serious film for teens imo.",4
"""The Fault in Our Stars"" isn't as bad as it might have been (considering the tastes of 13-year-old girls) but it's also not as good as I was secretly hoping it would be. You see, I'd just watched ""Five Feet Apart"", the movie that seemed an obvious cash-in (or even rip-off) of this one. That was actually somewhat emotionally affecting in places, whereas ""Fault"" surprisingly left me feeling not much of anything.

The pacing of the movie is strange, like it's moving too fast despite it also being over-long. The character of the love interest also seems undercooked. A lot of his dialogue feels overly written, where you keep wondering how he was able to come up with such finely honed paragraphs of speech so quickly. I believed, more or less, in the Sprouse character in ""Five Feet"". Teens in movies are always hyper aware of themselves, and Shailene Woodley was an ideal choice for her own contribution to pop culture alongside ""Heathers"" and ""Daria"". Ansel Elsort, though, just doesn't seem ready for it.

There are parts of the movie that work, such as the meeting with the writer, played by a great actor I won't reveal here. But then the movie goes to awkward territory, such as the two lovers sharing a make-out session in Anne Frank's house... to the applause of the tourists there. Eh? There was a reason why John Safran made out in her house for real, and that was for shock value. Why would people applaud?

I think they needed to go back to the drawing board with this one, and cut out some of the strange, extraneous material. And focus more on the central relationship, which despite being central to the story, feels secondary to it, like we already know they're going to fall in love, so they skip it and just get the show to Amsterdam as soon as possible.",6
"I am watching the 3rd episode and so far it is a more than decent series with very good acting, good directing and a well-reproduced image of the Rust Belt. However, one of the difficulties I have when I see stories involving detectives is that you see them performing things in the series that would have been unacceptable in real life procedures and would have disqualified them from pursuing with their search. This is also true for Mare of Easttown for Winslet's character. This weakens the scenario, together with the fact that the parallel personal story concerning her son that intercedes to the dialogue at regular intervals, seems at times forced and not well integrated.",8
"The Addams family is open to a great deal of interpretation being based on one panel cartoons. And much like SNL skits those brief gags are tough to stretch into a longer format story. The Huston/Julia movies show both the strength and weakness of this conundrum. Although very good if you look at the first and second movie you will realize that they are the same movie.

So, I went into Wednesday knowing that they would need to stretch the brand in order to make it into a multi episode Netflix series.

The good: Jenna Ortega is terrific! That was a brilliant casting choice. Thing steals every scene he (it?) appears in. The expressivenesss of that hand is astounding. Arneson as Uncle Fester is great. And I really had my doubts about that choice. Gwendoline Christie is also interesting and engaging in her roll as Principal Weems. Wednesday's roomate Enid makes a funny and solid foil as does Mossa as Eugene. The set design and costuming is first rate.

The tolerable: The psychic ability is tolerable to advance the plot. The rest of the kids (other then Enid) are fine. The sheriff, Ricci's character, and the counselor are all accpetable. Lurch is a fine Lurch (with no real lines). The school itself is at time annoying and at times interesting.

The bad. The depiction of Morticia and Gomez is *awful*. In the present they are dull. In the past they are completely out of character. I understand that there was a plotline that needed the conflict in the past but it still could have been written in a manner that was true to the characters.

Second, one of the first things one should do on a project like this is understand and make the world clear as you are creating the story. And one of those things, when dealing with a world like the one Wednesday is portraying, is being clear about how these unusual characters exist in the world. Does the entire world know that werewolves, vampires and sirens exist? Does the nearby town? Or is this a secret kept on the campus of the school? Choose one, stick with it, and write accordingly.

Overall it is worthwhile. I hope to see better world building and writing in season 2.",7
Hard to get into but once you do it's very good i love wanda and learning more about her in a domestic environment,9
"By-passing the outraged and ignorant who seem to think the only Holmes is the one played so well by Basil Rathbone many years ago, this movie nonetheless lacks a great deal of entertainment value, and treats the audience as if they were dim-wits. Having said that, I am delighted that Watson is portrayed as something other than a bumbling foil, but more of Jude Law's role later.

The quantity of expository dialog grates after the first few minutes, and the attempts to show Holmes' thinking by using voice-overs becomes tedious. There are better ways of doing this, but if you're pitching at a CSI-style audience (as a retired forensic scientist, I can assure you all that we do not lean on our instruments, and discuss the basic principles of their function with each other), then perhaps the laziness or ineptness of the script-writer(s) is understandable.

Downey appears to be reprising his role as Stark in Iron Man, but with Jude Law as his near-constant companion just to provide some modicum of variety.

The action comes quickly, and with little let-up, but this is no handicap to the enjoyment. The somewhat washed-out colors and the fact the scenes are almost always in dim locations means much of the movement is hard to discern in the gloom and surely action needs to be clearly seen? The sets themselves show obvious artifacts of cgi and after pieces like Gladiator and more recently the brilliant Avatar, the audience is left feeling either budgets prevented the job being done properly or more dangerously, that the studio didn't care, thinking the drawcards of Holmes, Downey and Law were sufficient.

Though Downey tries hard, it is Law who comes across as more convincing and is the focus of attention whenever the two are together. His portrayal is the highlight of the movie. The lowlight is, obviously, the handcuffed Downey, naked on the bed with only a teddy-bear for modesty. This is US-sit-com stuff and the fact such a tired, clichéd scene features heavily in previews shows the utter lack of imagination the scriptwriters put into their work. And of course, the giant who wreaks mayhem and is near-invincible has been done to death. Is it such a crime to bring something new to the audience?

The climax was both predictable and tedious, but thankfully has one recommendation: it showed the end was near. There are many movies where the talents of the cast are wasted. Sadly, this can so easily be added to the list, and must be done so immediately.",4
"I just hope its going to be better, becouse the starting episode is booooooring. At the moment nothing is interesting here, its like just continued the last two got season, which was painfully bad.

Tanx great movie tanx for director i watch agai and again best ...,9
Impressive. I have so much fun while i watcing the movie. There is a lot of funny joke about Venom and Eddie. I love Venom series so i'm gonna watch it one more time.,9
"The majority of these high score reviews are for the first couple of episodes. Like many others have pointed out, they are absolutely fantastic. Ben Mendelsohn and Jason Bateman knock it out of the park.

Episode 3 is where the bait and switch happens. Jason Bateman directed the first 2 episodes and then never came back to do any others. It was a carousal of different directors after that point.

The pacing, dialogue, editing, tone and just about every single aspect of the show gets significantly worse as the episodes progress. So I'd recommend one of two things: Watch the first 2 and let your mind make up a better told story afterwards or just avoid it altogether.

Such a shame.",4
"I've read the Books, played two out of three Games. The Series takes Stories out of the first two Books, and in my opinion has nailed it!

The most important thing: the main Characters are how they are supposed to be. Of course, there are a lot of things that were changed (in comparison to the Books) but nothing I really mind. The Atmosphere is good, it ""feels"" like the World of the Witcher.

The negative about the Series: the Timeline ls are too confusing for the casual viewer, at least they should have included the Years when it is taking Place, to make it easier to follow (but such Timelapses shouldn't be happening anymore, if they keep following the Books) And the CGI often seems really cheap. Like the Portals, they are almost non-existent xD

But overall: it's a really great Fantasy Series, also for the casual viewer who has no experience/connection to the World of the Witcher! Hopefully all Books get adapted :3",8
"Episode 1 started excellent, though not having watched Daredevil I was a little confused as to the back story. Never mind- I Love the dark complicated Punisher character, the acting and cinematography were fantastic- and the action was brilliant.

Fast forward to episode 4 and it's like nothing interesting has happened since. The plot trudges on and on ever so slowly and the whole show has become a second-rate law drama. endless boring dialogues, the plot has barely progressed, and the secondary characters are oh so boring. Even the superb action sequences from previous episodes are practically gone, with a sub-par car chase sequence (which is one of the worst car chase edits I've seen in recent memory) constituting the action for this particular episode. I really hope this picks up soon, because the promise was so good. But I don't know if I will make it, since here I am, writing a review in the middle of an episode in an attempt to share and alleviate the boredom caused by it...

If you like crime thrillers or slow paced drama, then The Punisher might be for you. If you where looking for a dynamic fast paced high octane superhero show- then do (by all means) watch the first episode, and nothing more.",6
"It's hard to make a good horror movie. It's hard to scare people when they expect to be scared. A really good horror movie either is just deeply terrifying and disturbing or hits you on an emotional level. This one fits the latter category. The film had some cool, creepy scenes and nice camera work and transitions. The added component of the emotional trauma of grief and loss took it to another level. The end, although a little predictable, was fitting and appropriate for the context of the film. This was a good one and the best horror movie I've seen probably since His House. Definitely one to watch.",9
"The movie surely has its funny parts which makes it a half watchable trip but it surely suffers from bad acting. At times it feels like this is The Goonies-version from a superhero movie. Some jokes actually work (apart from the stupid finale) and it'll be much better if Shazam! This should be the main core, but sadly enough they opt for a standard superhero movie script. The vilain played by Mark Strong never works. Anyway, what I am talking here this surely must be great if you're 8, once you'll grow up you (hopefully) know better...",4
"I feel like people don't like the show because of race & politics..,, It's a good show & it had a real episode... 10/10 A+",8
"But this movie was literally boring. action hero here, action hero there?

You wanna know the truth about this movie?

this movie is about positive discrimination, you see 2 or 3 black guys who got super powers and are working with white guys like friends. FAKE FAKE FAKE. Not special, boring.

Did you see the new Star Wars Force Awekeness. this is the same ,about positive discrimination. A black guy Jedi? Black people don't even watch star wars.

this whole IMDb seems pretty fake to me, when i read some of the reviews its like people get paid to leave false (positive) reviews about a movie.

Jesus Christ this movie is not even near 8.5 score, nor is the Star Wars.

i was looking at score of the movie Black Sea, pretty low score, while i watched this movie and its real, natural, spectacular. acting is super B and still it has lowers score then this pillow of bull crap? the whole IMDb seems to be untruthful source.",2
One of the best stories I've seen lately. Loki's and Morbius performance are of course excellent. It's nice to see Owen Wilson with a role different that he's usual goofy character for once. Just very excited for the next season and all the paths opened.,9
"First of all, I'm delighted by the acting of Chris Hemsworth and Randeep Hooda with Good action sequences. But i'm really disappointed my city has been misrepresented. Most of them shooted in India and just called it Dhaka with lot of bengali signboards. I think thia kind of thing shouldn't happen in Big movies. At Least they should have hire Bengali actors. Their bengali accent is just horrible!",5
"'The Fabelmans' is the semi-biographical film of Steven Spielberg's formative years, from ~8-18, in 1950s & 1960s New Jersey, Arizona and California. Spielberg is ""Sammy"" in the film, played by Zoryan as a young boy, then by LaBelle in his teenage years. We follow him growing up with his 3 sisters and being raised by parents Burt (Dano) & Mitzi (Williams). We get plenty of insight into the family's life and it's good to see Burt & Mitzi as actual characters with true limitations and motivations, rather than just as cliched mum & dad.

Some good cameos from Uncle Boris (Hirsch), Uncle Bennie (Rogen) and the famous director at the end. The film has some funny moments, but is primarily a family drama, following the ups and downs of a regular family, caught up in the start of the computer era, with Burt & Bennie working for GE & IBM. The sisters maybe don't get as much time, as we follow Sammy starting to make 8mm films, but they feel real enough as characters.

The move to California as a high-schooler presents new challenges for Sammy, but the ending is satisfying and doesn't take us all the way up to 'Jaws', but does show how he gets on the Hollywood path. Good performances all round, nothing too exceptional and possibly slightly too long, but enjoyable.",7
From start to finish this series is top rate entertainment. But I have to mention the political correctness crap heavily imposed in the programme. All the top jobs are females and brown skinned Muslims ... bearded men.. in important positions. So politically correct it was offensive. But apart fro this.. as entertainment this is a rare insightful portrayal including hard criticism of the politicians and the perceived corruption between inter political departments and the police. A great series.,8
"Lost in space

It was truly dreadful, I watched 3 episodes and it was clearly made for a very young female audience.

Every character was nasty alone and spent the entire show talking about me me me whilst being spiteful to everyone else. How it this entertainment.

All the comedy was missing it was all so crushing earnest and serious.

The touchy-feely over feminised script was misplaced in a sci-fi action drama as the focus of the action. Even the robot was a colossal bore.

To gender wash a much loved character must always be politically motivated act and therefore contemptible when camouflaged as children's entertainment.

I hated every character and so I wanted them all dead, this was a nasty super-woke show that pandered and patronised its gullible audience with a vengeance

This is a 1 outta 10 from me, meaning there is nothing to like here and maybe in fact deeply damaging for an audience looking for a role model.",1
A bad amalgamation of Delhi Belly and Andhadhun! That's all this movie is. Don't waste your time.,3
I mean it can be kind of good at times but 85% of the times it is just bland or obnoxious... the new seasons are awful. The original ones are ok but not great either.,6
"I tried to like it, I really did. With this huge amount of Oscar winning actors, the hopes was really high. Some actors really did try to do their best with the script they were given and many of them did succeed: Margot Robbie, Christian Bale, Michael Shannon, Mike Myers, Zoe Saldana. The script was preety good, however there were times when it seemed it was written by a junior high school child. Things are developing along the way but many times the dialogues appeared to be non-related to this movie. There was much potential for this movie, but something was not ""glueing"" the action and the scenes.",6
"Good twists yes, ending is a little strange, father is better at police work than the police force, story goes on and on repeating its self but in different ways, I personally was bored, the trailer makes it look really gripping but in reality it doesn't offer anything different from your average murder mystery films, way to much use of wierd Internet calls and chats, bit like watching you tube really wasn't as gripping as trailer suggests. Worth a watch but don't expect superb.",3
"Marvel has finally stepped into new and unknown territory by finally putting out a show that features a proper anti-hero. Thankfully, it mostly works out pretty well.",8
Tom Cruise is at his best in this action comedy. a few hours well spent.,7
"I'm not very fond of superhero movies, but I had to make an exception when I first saw Iron Man. It had everything: action, visuals, great performances (except Gwyneth), comedy and drama. It was also a criticism to the arms industries. After the first movie's success, it was a logical move to make the second part. Now we see Tony Stark, the narcissistic and eccentric millionaire, enjoying his huge fame as Iron Man, the savior, the peacemaker. Everybody loves him, except his commercial rival and Ivan, a Russian physicist who wants revenge from the Stark family. The Government also plays a big role here, they want Stark's technology to be in the hands of the US Army, before anyone else. But Tony is Tony and he will fight for his creation. The first part of the movie seems to go very slowly, adding little to the plot. Because of this, the climatic scenes had to the shortened, giving me the feeling that something was missing. Scarlett Johansson was a good addition, but her role was more decorative than necessary. Again, Gwyneth Paltrow disappointed me, but I recognize that her performance was less plain. Scarlett just stole her thunder. I think the script wasn't surprising enough to keep the audiences guessing what will happen next. Robert Downey's charisma is what saves the entire movie and that's why I recommend it. It's entertaining enough for a popcorn weekend.",8
"Somewhere online, the third and final WOLVERINE is said to have been influenced by films ranging from SHANE... playing on a motel TV... to PAPER MOON: One involving a hired gun protecting farmers and the other a father and daughter traveling across country: But what LOGAN really seems like is an X-MEN reboot of NEBRASKA: an dark comedy where a put-upon son takes his aging, ailing father across Middle America...

Whatever the connections, deliberate or otherwise, LOGAN seems to be critic-proof, and has gained over 8.0 on IMDb. And while the first venture, X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE, was an entertaining Neo-Noir adventure and the followup, THE WOLVERINE, rolled like a Japanese Graphic Novel brought to life with washed-out colors, tons of action and what seemed to be an intentionally simplistic plot-line, LOGAN is an extremely vague Road Movie that, like the last couple X-MEN entries, introduces another young mutant (to carry on): Logan's daughter, a rescued ""orphan"" with a one-note expression - born to kill - and starting out with the grungy, non-dialect scowl of Newt from ALIENS that, once the levee breaks, you'll pray for a muzzle (almost as annoying as her rambling caretaker ""mother""... who thankfully doesn't last long). Actually, the kid's alright, and not an overly-trained child actor type, but she simply takes away from what Logan could have done alone and with a lot more suspense.

The sick old man/NEBRASKA comparison is none other than Dr. Xavier: Patrick Stewart ends his classy and prestigious reign with an awkward, blasphemous whimper, not a bang, while the SHANE-like farmers are a black family that takes the trio in right as the road-rolling aspect almost beings to shape into something, anything. Meanwhile, there are sporadic cuts to a nasty villain bullying a helpful white-faced mutant who compares himself to Nosferatu but is more a tall, bald and skinny version of Robert Blake's Mystery Man in LOST HIGHWAY (pictured below). Obscure enough reference?

Yeah, okay, fine... There are too many comparisons and pop culture name-drops here: The problem is, LOGAN is so clunky, misguided, forgettable and downright unnecessary... combining hackneyed car chases with noisy gun-fights between forced melodrama... it would've been a life-saver if, instead of SHANE, the original X-MEN were playing in that motel room, and we could once again experience a topnotch comic book adaptation with a nicely balanced ensemble and action that moved the story as opposed to exploiting the (first time) R-Rated ultra-violence for hardcore fans, proud not to be kids anymore: who must have been shocked when an actual X-MEN Comic Book turns up. LOGAN describes it as, ""Ice Cream for bed wetters,"" which beats the hell out of vegetables for breakfast. And this benign, uninspired crap isn't even good for you.",1

"I really like this anime but I think the reviews over 8 are dishonest. It's a very entertaining show, the idea of the death note is excellent and the game between Light and L is very fun and mostly clever.

But after a second view, you can see a lot of flaws in the story. First, L is too lucky and look I didn't say too clever because it's not always clever sometime he finds things about Kiera that it didn't even make sense he find out. Let's be honest, if someone stupid would have a death note it would take so many years to get bust so someone as smart as Light wouldn't have been caught before dying of old age. I get to make the show work, L must be a treat to Light but still they should have thought of a way to give L an advantage because like this it makes no sense.

Anyways it's still a good show but I don't think its masterpiece. Seriously, people use masterpiece way too often.",7

"Bird Box

Although the athletes are heavily mutated, post-apocalyptic Olympic games are a sight to behold.

Regrettably, the blindfolded resistance in this horror movie will never be able to observe one.

When an unseen entity begins manipulating humans to kill themselves, expectant mother Malorie (Sandra Bullock) must cover her eyes to avoid the creature's suicidal influence. Eventually, she finds shelter with other survivors (John Malkovich, Trevante Rhodes, BD Wong) and gives birth. With word of a superior sanctuary downstream, Malorie braves the torrents blindfolded in order to get her brood there.

Although the dialogue is exceptionally corny, the accomplished cast works wonders with the material provided. And while the idea of a sightless struggle for survival is certainly nerve-racking and ingeniously depicted, this Netflix adaptation of the dystopian bestseller is too ambition for its 2-hour confines.

Moreover, everyone knows the only way to tackle rapids blind is inside of a wooden barrel. Yellow Light

I had high hopes for this with such a big cast but it felt like a play! The talking at the screen didn't fit and was pointless. The only good thing is Henry Cavill.,3
"This film really hits like a brick, a harrowing realistic tale of slavery in the 1800s. films like this remind us of the past, where this kind of black prejudice reined supreme, up till the 70s when the KKK were still kicking... if you're going to tell a story of slavery, what better way than to base it on actual events from the book by the slave himself - Solomon Northup - over a 12 year period...

These were dark times, where racial hatred was the norm, most well off white people in America had black people as slaves or servants. they were looked down upon purely by the colour of their skin... this is why slavery was abominated & Martin Luther King had a dream of equality. the film tackles these issues with brutal realism, often hard to absorb, these reoccurring events of racial injustice really affect you to the point where you feel so sorry for every single person affected in it's destructive path - separating families, physical & psychological torture, a constant fear forced into their helpless faces...

A blunt reminder of how things used to be, harrowing & heart breaking, like you are there witnessing it first hand... powerful & gripping film that left me in tears at points... more films should be made like this, to shake up our sugar coated images that are filtered via the media. take a mouthful of harsh truths, so you reflect on these moral issues well after the film has finished

Steve McQueen delivers another jewel in his developing crown which has already spawned 2 masterpieces before this - Shame (2011) and Hunger (2008). breathtaking performance by Chiwetel Ejiofor which should win him a Best Actor Oscar, plus solid performances from Paul Giamatti, Benedict Cumberbatch & of course Michael Fassbender, with a cheeky appearance by Brad Pitt... im also putting my money on Steve McQueen to clean up Best Picture & Best Director if the academy wakes up and realises the genius at hand here...

9/10 and at the top of my 2014 list thus far",8
"My review in straight simple 3 points. 1. Wanted more of Pankaj Tripathi missed that completely. 2. Chris H. nailed the action completely that's how mercenaries are supposed to be especially he being on 2 tours to Afghan. 3. Bangladesh Natives giving this movie 1 or 2 stars just because they are pissed about portrayal of their country comon guys even Gully boy was shot in Dharavi infact it was based on whole slum stars. Even you will accept you ain't USA UK or some G7 nation . That's how a developing nation like yours has to be put upon screens. You just got Independence in 1971 deal with it. Don't cuss art for the reality portrayal,it deserves a 7.",7
"When it comes to military accuracy this movie fails on many levels. I spotted at least 20 false or inaccurate items, I actually stopped counting at 20.",3
They seem to be investing in almost every pitch. And too much drama. But i like that they give small information about technical jargon. Nevertheless good too pass time if you have in hand.,5
"Listen, don't listen to the deluded critics and Marvel fan boys giving this crap ratings higher than the Godfather. Those are shallow and deluded fan boys. The movie was mediocre at best like most of the Marvel movies out there. Batman vs Superman was for sure a better film with more in depth character development and the movie actually made me care for the characters. I couldn't care less what happened in to the characters in this film. The musical score was once again a mediocre score with nothing special about it. BvS had a decent score and you could tell that they actually went for something. This movie shows no effort in making a good musical score at all. The movie gets way too much praise while BvS gets way too much hate. I don't expect jokes to pop up when the world is at stake or people are fighting in the middle of a battle. Why this keeps happening in Marvel movies is beyond me, probably to keep the shallow kids and fans going through the movie. BvS got criticized for being too dark and having too many characters yet this is one of Marvels ""darkest"" movies and has the largest cast of any super hero movie and this gets praise? The amount of plot holes I found were laughable, but no, people are going to ignore it because it's a Marvel movie and the action is eye candy. But when DC does it it's the only thing people notice. I have a suggestion, instead of watching this mediocre and copy and paste Marvel film, go watch something else. Here are some suggestions, want to still watch a Marvel film? Go rent one or find one on cable, it will be exactly the same, trust me. Want to still go to the theater and watch a real super hero movie? Fine, watch Batman vs Superman. Want to watch a good super hero movie? Go watch The Dark Knight Trilogy. Want to watch a good movie? Go watch the Godfather or Shawshank Redemption. Have fun, don't watch this boring movie!",1
Why Hardy would entertain the idea of appearing in this dreadful film is amazing. He holds it together single-handedly but is constantly fighting a script so poorly written and so full of holes. Without him it would have been thoroughly forgettable. Really quite dreadful.,4
"Just a real waste of a good cast. This was an over funded, over hyped and less well done imitation of 'Murder She Wrote.' Just watch literally any episode of that. It could be that I'm just old, but that's probably not it.",6
"Dr. Strange 2 is basically the teenaged edgelord younger brother of the Marvel franchise who thinks he's so cool but actually isn't.

First, did the movie have to be so demonic and satanic to be ""interesting""? It's like they took every dark element of Twilight, The Walking Dead, and other dark fantasy/supernatural shows and threw them together haphazardly. Too much.

Also, what's up with the PG-13 rating? This should've been R for the amount of graphic content (brutal murder, gore, etc.). It is NOT kid-friendly.

The plot fell flat. It felt more like the movie was trying too hard to include fanservice and flex its visual effects than making good use of its cameos and having a compelling story line. Sorry, Raimi. I loved your Spider-Man movies, but this one ain't it.",3
"I have to say my first review and yeah... I did love it to a point but there is so much confusion in the whole 1st season but I understand (rumours) there is going to be a long road with this and I really hope so because the show has so much potential, and before it ended I wanted more so much more...... so yeah to me it is worth a watch and hopefully it will develop into a perfect series for me 😁😁😁",8
"It's like it sounds. Women are victims of men, males have all the power, and Enola is a super ninja that need no man(Kind of, she does like a guy) and skills that Bruce Lee would be envious of.

Yeah...so Enola is Sherlock's sister or something and has a high IQ or something, and overcomes male oppression to solve a mystery that even Sherlock can't solve...why? Because we are all living in hell secretly. I actually has something to do with feminism and women having zero understanding of history.

So I will say, the actress is very likeable and the terrible script and story was not really her doing. She did a good job I felt, but still, this story was poop. The themes are poop.

I am not sure, at the time of writing, how something so poorly written has a 6.6 on IMDB. I assume IMDB is deleting scores at this point.

4 out of 10. You will have a good time with friends laughing at how bad it is and how ridiculous it all is. It was fun though.",4
Hates off the director Anurag sir. Best screenplay in bollywood. Amezing Creativity.,10
"This film and instalment left me confused. I am not sure how other viewers would see this. I understand that is vital to the whole story but it could have been better. The crew needed to fix the storyline to make it better. The cast selection was fine. It did not seem that Johnny Depp was a right fit for the character. He did not connect in any way. He did not really let out the emotion nor carry the storyline throughout the film. This series probably should not have been created. This series does not reveal much to viewers. With this series, the whole story gets sidetracked and collapses. This is a disappointing film and perhaps should not have been created.",6
"What a dumb title. I know titles don't mean much other then for marketing and recognizability, but the two have nothing to do with each other. They might as well called it Fantastic Beasts: (insert title here), would have made more sense. Actually now I think of it, the title does represent one thing about this movie...it's a jumbled mess. It's another one of those films that can't just focus on one main storyline. The film has 3 or 4 pointless subplots, resulting in the film having very little to do with Grindlewald, you know, the name that's in the title of the movie? David Ayers as a director is clearly running out of steam. He did a marvelous job with Deathly Hollows Part 2, and did a good job with the first Fantastic Beasts film, that was more focused and actually enjoyable to watch. This was a snoozer, none of the storylines were interesting, too many characters I have no interest in, the few action scenes that occur are short lived, the final ""battle"" is lame, and this film relies heavily on exposition. Talking, talking, talking, and more talking with nothing interesting for me to really get invested. Now understand this, I am not a Potterhead, so maybe I'm missing something here. But I do like the Harry Potter world, I love Deathly Hollows Part 2, and Goblet of Fire, but this is probably the worst of all of the Potter universe films. Now let's talk about the elephant in the room...Johnny Depp as Grindlewald himself. Admittedly, he was the thing I was looking forward to, I was thinking if nothing else, at least Depp can keep me entertained. Well, the problem is...he's barely in it! But when he is on screen I was a bit underwhelmed. He didn't give that electrifying performance like Heath Ledger or even Ralph Fiennes. Not that I'm asking for Depp to outdo them, that's tough, but I felt Johnny Depp was just playing Johnny Depp, in that he had a bit of some Jack Sparrow-isms, almost like Depp played an evil version of Sparrow with different hair and not as comical. Depp was not the best choice for Grindlewald. So, now that I've trashed on this film, what do I like? The visuals are great, the costuming and makeup are well done, but on par with the first film, because all of those things in the first film were well done too. Jude Law as Dumbledore gave the best performance out of all the actors, though he too was underused. And the relationship between Redmayne's and Fogler's characters is pretty good. Other then those things, I would say this film is sadly for me a total skip. I have never given a Harry Potter film a bad review and it's sad to see this happen, but it had to happen at some point. One the flip side, it took 10 films to finally make a bad film, that's not bad. Neither Star Wars or Lord of the Rings can say that. If you are a massive Potterhead and you can understand the underlying stuff, and get into the politics of the film, then you may enjoy it, but for a regular film fan, sorry, I can't recommend it.",5
"I have thoroughly enjoyed the Marvel franchise over the past 13 or so years. I liked some movies better than others of course but still can't think of one I didn't watch at least twice. Endgame disappointed me. It was long, and boring. The time travel aspect was not at all believable, funny thing to say I know considering this is a movie about superheros but that's my take. Finally, the epic battle at the end had been done before much better in Ultron. Time to put this baby to bed. It had a good run though.",3
Loved it! loved it! Loved it! A particular high point for me was Urbans take on Dickins's Bill Sikes. All thats missing is Bulls-eye the dog!,8
"An improvement over the first for sure, fully embracing the silliness and campiness of the first and doing a damn good job at it. I can see why many like it and dislike it. If you're in it for the fun of it, this movie is a blast, and it was thrilling to finally see a live-action Carnage.

As long as it's not taken it too seriously, the film is a fun, silly, and not to mention, violent experience to be enjoyed by many.",8
"This show is what happens when you have 2-3 hours worth of story in your hands but you want to really streeeeeeeech it to fill 30 hours so you will do everything you can do fill those 30 hours which will spread the story way too thin. In fact this used to be a movie and a fine one too. When they tried to convert it into a TV show they just ruined the whole thing.

You have yourself a show with 39 episodes where 35 of the 39 episodes are ""filler episodes"", every scene is filmed in super-slow motion, characters speak at a rate of 1 word per minute and take 6 minutes to finish a sentence, each scene is shown multiple times from multiple angles just to fill time and you get about 3-4 minutes of actual story development per episode where 40 minutes of each episode is wasted on filler stuff.

Also most murder cases shown in this show are way over the top, cartoony and caricaturish in nature. In what world do you have serial killers murdering 300-400 people to build a tower of dead bodies without getting caught or people performing ""blood eagle"" on themselves which is physically impossible to do on yourself? This show is supposed to be horror but it fits comedy more than it fits horror. I've laughed more times than I felt scared while watching this show.",5
"Monica O My Darling is a wonderful movie and a black comedy genre at its best! The story is quite racy and exciting, keeps the audience guessing and to the edge of the seat. Like in Sriram Raghavan's movies, in this movie too old hindi song has been used intelligently. The background music by Achint Thakkar too is in sync with the flavour of the movie.

The dialogues are quite witty and crisp- especially tu chronology samajh is a bold dialogue given the time & circumstances! It's a high energy,crazy roller coaster ride and I liked the way in which they have ended that is they have kept it open ended.

What I also liked is the fight for survival that more or less every character plays and nobody is clean here. But even in this, Jayant Arkhedkar's conscience doesn't allow him to kill Monica, even after a bitter fight. At the heat of the moment, he's pulled back by his conscience - says a lot!

Performances by the lead actors are power packed - Huma Qureshi, Rajkumar Rao and Radhika Apte, in that order according to me. Huma Qureshi has brought in all the shades and nuances of Monica but also has succeeded in making her character look vulnerable in the entirely male dominated world!

Whatever antics Rajkumar Rao may have played there's still an element of earnestness/ honesty about him. That makes him endearing.

I have a negative point for Radhika Apte - she's Ms Naidu( so supposedly from AP/Telangana) but her accent ( especially in the last press conference) is keralite.

Apart from these 3 and Vijay Kenkre and Sikander Kher( who has acted quite well) there's not a single known actor to me. I don't know if that's done purposely. I personally think that if Gaurav's role would have gone to a known face, it would have added a different element to the film.

But overall a thoroughly enjoyable movie.",9
"Seriously, I love film and I have two post graduate degrees so what's going on??? The actors were amazing, the sets were striking, the filming was okay... so here's the 'but'... But the script was too weak. Here you have these actors giving their lives up to the screen in period costumes, authentic looking sets and moody filming but the dialogue was both difficult to understand and while you're straining to understand that they just said they say more meaningless stuff and jump around signing and dancing drunk. And then it's daylight and everything has changed. I think someone forgot to read Aristotle's poetics. Things happening out of sequence without purpose. Characters entering the story line without enough information to understand why they are there. And finally only the weakest links to the characters behavior and history to account for them going mad like that. If you don't want to tell a story but just give some randomly connected images to the audience and let them make up their own story, well then okay. But don't charge me for a ticket if I""m making up my own story!! All in all I don't recommend this movie at all. If it was a 20 minute movie I could recommend it but not two hours of this ridiculous self important twaddle.",3
This movie is recklessly miserable...just a series of very uncomfortable events. The acting is ok...but really just frustrating because nobody can see anything without dying.,4
"Well my wife went too bed early which is an indication that it's not really main stream entertainment, she likes action more than anything and not too much fantasy.

Anyway I carried on with it. The movie has some Interesting twists, however I find it hard to watch any movie when you don't like any of the characters in it. They were all pretty hateful or just unresolved with one exception.

I made it to the end though and I guess felt that the story did round itself out at the end. I do feel that it might deserve a re watch in a few months in fact I'm already thinking about doing that but when my wife is out though..",5
"This movie kept my attention and was worth seeing, but was flawed and fairly cheesy and predictable. I had a good time watching it. The acting of Johnny Depp was great, and it gave the movie some comic relief. However, it was typical in the sense that the ""good side"" is a fraction of a second away from being destroyed when the hero does something slick in the nick of time to escape the ""bad side"". Stories with this element are corny and predictable.

6/10",6
"For some characters i would see a bit different casting , like triss, ciri ,yen. Yen is the least problematic out of these 3. But that's probably bc i used to how these characters look good in games. Anyway i loved the series can't wait for more.",9
"First 3 episode is great except for the LGTVQHD+ content. The rest episode is so-so, i think this show kinda overrated or maybe I'm the weird one?",3
"The second season of this show is awesome.

It is even more tense than the first one, and you are already worried not for each individually, but for the two of them.

A very strange but interesting feature is that the series is built around only two main characters, the rest of the faces are all secondary.

Despite this, the series does not lose its appeal and draws viewers into its short intriguing story.

And you never know what awaits these two on the way, every day they experience danger, but still go on.

Yes, the series is not unambiguous, but still does not lose its interest.",9
"I like the colours? ... There, I've said something positive, so hopefully that fulfils the required impartiality quotient...

I appreciate the craft, and it's obviously been made with a lot of love... but this just Was. Not. my thing, at all... It's the ultimate stage-brat movie. I have a lot of sympathy for those types of people. I took drama classes... but they tend to become grating, after awhile - and this film grated on me, REALLY fast. Life is not light and frothy. Sometimes we have to do things we don't like. Don't ask me to coddle self-indulgence.

I knew going in that I wasn't a fan of musicals, so you may ask why I freely chose to watch this... The answer is that - as with any genre - occasionally I find an example that surprises me (Top Hat, Chicago, Moulin Rouge... )

Unfortunately, I found no such surprises, here. The best part of watching it was knowing that as soon as I finished it, I'd never have to see it, again. I've done my duty as an Oscars devotee and movie buff, but now I need the palate cleansing of Trainspotting 2, as soon as possible!",3
"A good superhero movie is a perfect tool to speak about deep philosophy to common people. Forget about Tarkovskij, Bergman and Kieslovsky: this Spiderman2 touches all the chords of human morality and nature. It's all about choice: a normal man have to chose between a superhuman nature and a normal life. This is a perfect representation of the dual nature of Spiderman: the heroic one (imagined by the Objectivist designer Steve Ditko) and the imperfect one (imagined by the Liberal Stan Lee). The superhuman nature allow him to save humanity, but this is a full time mission imply the sacrifice of all the real joys of life: love, friendships, career and culture. The human nature allow all of that, but imply weakness before the Evil. And then the Evil comes, under the guise of a failed scientist who doesn't want to admit his mistake and that is possessed by its own science. He's a good guy… who doesn't want to accept the weakness of a normal life. Fighting the Evil, Spiderman can find a synthesis between the superhuman and the human: it's possible to make love and war in the same time. A good script makes this movie enjoyable for all audiences. It mixes all the ingredients of a very good action movie (full of new spectacular special effects) and a very good comedy. It's good both for Spiderman's fans and for people who never read a comic strip. The cast is really strong, dominated by an existential Tobey McGuire and a brave red Kirsten Dunst, a perfect image of a heroic woman. The timing was perfect: this movie was in theaters in 2004 and America was in a political crossroad. Most probably, Spiderman helped many Americans to make their choice in a period of a morally difficult war. Well done, Sam Raimi!",9
"This film is mildly recommended.

Wham! Bam! Pow! Like a Lichtenstein print, Captain America: The Winter Soldier is standard pop entertainment. This sequel unwisely underplays the standard fish-out-of- water scenario that gave its first installment some distinction and comic flair. In this version, humor is scant and the story is still rather predictably bland, but as for superhero thrills and action sequences, those are in abundance. The film may be slightly improved in its second go-round due to some strong CGI and well staged set pieces, but whenever the action lulls, so does its enjoyment. 

The wobbly plot goes something like this: Our hero, Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America must again fight the forces of evil, this time in the form of a Soviet assassin named the Winter Soldier. There is treachery and disloyalty within the SHIELD agency that can compromise national security as Captain America tries to unravel the mystery and save the day.

I have to confess most of the Marvel comic book heroes are usually a boring lot, but the franchise certainly knows how to cast its actors in those coveted roles: Robert Downey, Jr. as Ironman, High Jackman as Wolverine, Andrew Garfield as Spiderman, and Chris Evans in this titled role. Evans more than looks the part, especially out of his costume, and the actor brings to his part a sweet charm and quiet strength. His interplay with his co-star, Scarlett Johansson, as Natasha Romanoff a.k.a. Black Widow, make the film and its characters all the more interesting. Samuel L. Jackson, Anthony Mackie, and Sebastian Stan are fine in their colorful supporting roles, and it is an added pleasure seeing Robert Redford chewing up the scenery in his pivotal role.

But the film's plot lacks cohesiveness. It continually tries to explain itself and the characters' actions in clunky dialog and heavy-handed exposition in between all the crash-and-boom, shoot-em-up scenes. Directors Anthony and Joe Russo certainly know how to stage the film's many action shots. Along with the strong visual effects, the stunt-work is top notch and extremely well choreographed. But the screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely disappoints. Characters are in need of more depth and the plot mechanics never flow or connect with the action.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier abruptly stops and starts. The film clumsily lurches from one scene to the next. One can readily say that the film's pacing stops on a quarter. This comic book superhero movie takes itself way too seriously and should have used its super powers to have a lot more fun with its source. Captain America: The Winter Soldier just left me a tad cold. GRADE: B-

"Like many of you, i feel obligated to watch this series out of respect of GOT. I knew it's gonna be hard, almost impossible, to surpass the original, but I never thought it's going to be this bad. I mean what the heck??? I mean nothing really happened or important to be made as a story. No good guys, no likeable character, everyone just a_holes with their own agenda. It's like Cosby show with dragons in it. This series tarnish my sweet memories with GOT, even though I don't like how it ends, it's still the best series of all time. But this garbage is such a humiliation and mockery to the original. I gave 3 only because the dragons looks good. I will give 4 if they all go Dracarys the set and all the character. It should not be made at all. SHAME..3X.",3
"How can someone like this show? S01 was ok but S02 was so bad (except Ep1) that 5 min ago I was wondering ""Did season 2 come out?"" even tho I watched it like 3 months ago. Then I remembered how bad it was and decided to warn everyone who still have balls and don't like teenage/housewife dramas. There is no action, no suspense, no masculinity of any sort. The story is boring and CGI is meh. The Witcher himself is like third wheel on a woke drama motorcycle. He has no point in this series and its named after him. He is there because ""hes nice to look at"". Instead of The Witcher story you get timeline jumps just to show next story that is mostly made of female cast. I have nothing against females. I loved Queens Gambit"" because it was very good and The Witcher is not.",1
"So ""Attack on titan"" has been recommended by a friend of mine who has great taste for TV series and naturally I have given it a try. I really loved how the first scenes set the tone for a more ""mature"" and less chlichéed picture of women I so came to hate about anime (you know .. those animes in which women have so unrealistic huge breats it hurts and they always wear awfully short stuff to show every viewer how desperately lonely the creator of the manga must have felt). The pacing felt right at first and it sure knows how to make you feel excited for some twist which reveals what happened, where the titans come from and so on. Sadly like 6 episodes in you start to realize that while an episode is 24 minutes long roughly 18 of those are wasted on flat emotional melodramtic talking I start to feel Japanese are addicted to. To make things even worse they started adding some unlikeable characters that are not just ""unlikeable"" for the audience in a clever way but are designed to be unlikeable in a shameful way (yeah, we get it, rich people try to save their goods and sacrifice every normal citizen who comes in their way, the church is evil and there always is a commander who is like insane and needs a psychiatrist right now bla bla). Despite all of those flaws (and I admit that I'm really judging this series a little hard) ""Attack on Titan"" looks really good and has a imo catching opening music which features the opening line in my own language (german) ... sadly Japanese are no pronouncing experts and so I never got it until I looked it up on the internet ;-P",7
"This movie is over hyped. It is a cheap cheesy version of The Matrix. The plot had been used several times in other films. It is also very long and should have been edited. It is very Confusing at times. I did not like it at all. The movie is special maybe because it has diverse characters with more Asian representation. It is trying hard to be like The Matrix infused with family/ mother daughter/ father daughter drama with a touch of gay story.

Nevertheless, Michelle Yeoh is great in here except for corny seen before misuttered English words. I like her better in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.",3
"Ajay as usual played the role in the most sincere manner, Must watch movie for Devgan fans..",8
"For all the love episode one gets, just because those 20 minutes opening scene (were you know the leading man won't die anyways), this show really drops the ball with its later episodes. After been told this is Jed Mercurio's best show i'm dissappointed, watch Line of duty you all now thats a 10/10 show.",5
"3/10 - I know my opinion on this one makes kind of an outsider, but I was throughly unimpressed with the bland story, subpar visual effects, and unbearable runtime of this critical darling",3
"I haven't laughed this hard at a movie in a while. From the opening sequence (I won't give it away but it's a scream) it's clear that you're in for a wild (and self-aware) ride.

The bold anachronisms (e.g. Elaborate dance numbers against brightly colored backdrops and lighting straight out of Singing in the Rain) amidst the hilariously on-the-nose social commentary reminds me of La La Land, in that it lovingly recalls tropes from years ago, while tacitly acknowledging that changing social mores require us to critically examine those tropes even as we celebrate them.

Also, I found the character arcs, and the way they resolve, original and genuinely affecting. Gender expression is obviously a huge theme of this movie (and there is an absolute corker of a joke about men who like The Godfather that is a little too accurate) but the lessons learned by the female leads felt resonant to me (a cishet man) and I was really touched, but the film (thankfully) never gets saccharine. It's clear to me that Gerwig respects her audience's intelligence.

I will 100% watch this again.",8
"This whole show was such a waste of everybody's time.

It's a shame Marvel and all the involved ones spend their time to produce something that bad.

Awfully done and performed.",2
"The Godfather of all movies. Incredible the way Robert deNiro and Pacino act. Robert deNiro equals and maybe he's even better then Marlon Brando, Al Pacino is better (a Don the whole time). As an appetizer, we see James Caan in the end. This should be #1 in the IMDB top-250, surely. Watch it, please.",10
"Typical good guy vs bad guy story line, and you get not only one lone wolf doing the deeds, but a whopping six! I like all the actors/actresses enough to try to watch this film. At first I thought, not a bad start, and the car chase scenes made it fun. But boy, the tempo is so bad. I don't mind flash back, or choppy editing...but this is taking a piss. In some places it worked, but when you do flash back and choppy bits every 10-15 mins, it makes you lost the concentration of the on-going ""current"" storyline they are trying to tell.

Some characters have a nice built up, but feel the parkour guy and the doctor lady seemed to be a bit of a waste of their character built up...maybe I was looking for more. It'd be nice to see each character has their own ""heroic"" moment that makes you feel, ""Yeah man!!! Go Go Go!!!"" Kung Fu Hustle was very good at that, and since then, rarely see the same amazing built up for a film that consists of multi-lead characters. Marvel's End Game did it, but not without the help of some individual standalone movies with the key characters. Anyway...

There are some really nice scenes in this film, the fight scenes are good, punch lines are not bad (some are funnier than others)... just perhaps a bit less choppy editing, more of a coherent story telling, and less plot device (made something happen in order to feed another character's cause of action etc.)

This type of film I can only watch it once based on curiosity. I would not be dying to see it again anytime soon.",5
"Now to start out with, this show is not perfect and is flawed in many ways. It struggles with a lot, but also works as a great fantasy show in many ways. Personally season 1 peaked my interest for the books, and I must say I feel in love despite already having played the Witcher 3. The books sparked my interest to the next level and I fell absolutely in love with the universe, which I can thank the show for. Which is why I have a hard time not being excited for the series, as it sparked my love for everything Witcher.

Overall the writing is pretty hit or miss, sometimes. It's charming, funny and quite heartwarming and others its just cheesy and cringeworthy and not funny at all, which further indicates its, at times, problem with choosing which tone it wants to focus on. ""Does it want to be serious and dark"" or ""lighthearted and fun"" While for most of the series it does a good job at balancing the two. There still is some apparent flaws in the tone, where the books balance this to perfection and never loose focus in the same way the show does. I personally think the cast is greatly cast and they embody the way I pictured them while reading. Of course Henry Cavill is the stand out, playing Geralt to perfection. Bringing the grit and tone the character needs. I have a good feeling with him being a part of the show and being able to steer the show the right way.

Season 1 focuses on the first two books, which are told in a non-linear fashion, as short stories. Spanning across years, which the show didn't articulate good enough for the viewers, and if you weren't paying attention you could miss specific details describing where in time we were. That being said the world is interesting and there's quite a lot of lore and depth to the characters, even if Geralt seems pretty grumpy most of the time. I also love how they expanded Yennefers story even more, showing her background, and how she came to be. The same works for season 2, where we get greater depth to Cahir, Fringilla, Tissaia and other important players.

In season 2 there is a great deviance from the books, where most of the story is told way differently in the books and scenes that never existed is brought to life in the show, which is great, but it still loses focus of the amazing source material. They move different plot points forward and completely change story arcs, which I'm not a big fan of, but still I'm open to the new ideas that are brought in. I just hope they keep focus and stick as close to the books ""as the vision will allow"" Season 2 also brings a greater budget and a more linear story, which the first season greatly struggled with. The music is also amazing and in my opinion truly captures the essence of the world. Jaskier's songs are truly amazing and tell the story of the world and the implications his own life, so let's truly toss a coin.

This isn't a true adaptation even if they follow the books. They have changed key plot points, which might divide fans of the books and newcomers might not think vary of it, but just enjoy the ride. That being said, this is still a great fantasy show with a good basis and amazing performances all around, even if some the dialogue and writing is poor at times. In the end I am eager to see how they expand the universe and will there for all seasons and content to come, even if it won't truly aline with the source material which is a shame.

"24. aka 24 hours for Jack Baur to save the world before mass disaster strikes. I used to think that lost was good before i seen this but now lost kinda sucks. 24 is just too good to be true. You have a guy (jack), a problem ( like an assassination threat on the president), and a huge big chunk of kick ass action along the way. The story in this series is superb, its exiting, shocking, and has more tension than a ton weight hanging on a string. jack is the protagonist in this story. hes what its all about. Keifer Sutherland is an Absolutely Class actor. there could be no-one capable of playing this role as good as him.

There is so many twists and before one thing is solved there's another problem. I am actually quite surprised that my brain could handle this. i should be splattered all over my TV room now. there's just so much suspense. is he dead? is he alive? is he a bad guy? is he the traitor? this is so good that i actually found myself shouting ""oh no watch out behind you!!!"" at the TV. my mum thought that i was crazy but she hadn't saw 24 so i asked her to start watching series 5 me when it was on TV......... and now she loves it too. this gets a definite 10 out of 10. if i could some how vote outside the rules i'd give this an 85 out of 10 i love it so much. you will to. WATCH IT",10
"The Boys is one of my favorite shows of all time. Obviously Gen V isn't as good, but it's still awesome. They do a great job of getting us attached to the new characters in this new environment. And as one would expect from a show in this world, it never holds back. There are several jaw-dropping moments and ridiculously memorable laughs.

I can only think of a couple flaws. In The Boys, the gender identity and sexual orientation stuff was part of the satire. Like how corporations use it to improve their public perception (#BraveMaeve). In Gen V, it felt more like they were trying to convince me of something. And while the finale was fun and pretty awesome, some of the character motivations felt a bit random or unearned.

Even with those flaws, I had a great time with this show and I'll definitely be watching season 2. (2 viewings, 11/2/2023, 11/10/2023)",8
"The father of one of two abducted little girls kidnaps, imprisons and tortures a young man he believes was responsible; meanwhile, a detective on the case finds two additional suspects who may have had some involvement. Unpleasant but undeniably gripping effort with strong performances, though the locale--a rainy blue collar town (shot mostly in Georgia)--fails to come to life. Cars race around through different neighborhoods and we lose our bearings, which may be the fault of director Denis Villeneuve. There's also some awkward confusion over the initial suspect's arrest: he's held and then released, he's conveniently catatonic in the police station but mutters something odd to the angry father out in the parking lot, he can't pass a lie detector test without understanding the questions yet he has a driver's license. There's also some fudging by screenwriter Aaron Guzikowski, who would rather toss in trunks full of snakes and mazes on the walls then tell us how some crazy acting man managed to get two rambunctious little girls into his camper. One Oscar nomination: for Roger Deakins' cinematography. **1/2 from ****",6
Absoultly Overrated movie. Its a normal movie not so so good,5
"Where do I start?! This is the best film out of Bollywood since Parineeta (2005) in the period drama genre. An absolute gem! I couldn't wait for its subtitled release in the Uk and so I watched it without subtitles and even then I am blown away!

The film scores high points in all the categories. Hrithik and Ash are fast becoming the Kajol and SRK of the 2000s. Their chemistry is fantastic, and Ash really seems her best in period dramas. No one else could play Akbar other than Hrithik. In the 2 weeks I have had this film i have watched it no less than 7 times. Its 3.5hr length doesn't even cross my mind as I don't even notice time passing. The film captures all your attention from start to the credits at the end. I understand more and more of the dialogue after each watch and I can not wait till I get a copy with English subtitles.

The story is fantastic and very well delivered. The supporting cast is so strong; no one lets the side down. The songs in the film are all I listen. Everything is just as it should be. This has gone straight to No. 1 on my favourite/must have list.",10
"Yet another heist movie where the con artists pull of frankly speaking ridiculous games in order to further their own agenda. This particular one throws in the magician angle, and it works surprisingly well. Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher and Dave Franco all do a great job as The Four Horsemen, the magicians in question, and I really enjoyed them. They all have a clear identity, even if Eisenberg's J. Daniel Atlas does get the most screen time, but then again every group needs a face. Would I have preferred for all them to be on the screen equally? Probably, seeing as Harrelson especially was a bit underutilized, but the movie works as it is.

Mark Ruffalo also does a really good job as the FBI detective trying to catch these four. Usually in a caper or heist movie such as this one, you can either have the despicable mark that everyone loves to see fooled, or you can have the sympathetic mark, but in that case the actor has to be charismatic enough to pull it off. Luckily Ruffalo is just that. He's angry and arrogant enough that you don't feel bad when he gets fooled, but he's also nice enough that you feel for him and don't mind following him around.

Unfortunately the movie is a bit crowded with unneeded side characters. And as much as it pains me to say this, Morgan Freeman is the worst offender. He's a fine actor and literally oozes charisma, but his character has little to no point being in this film. He's mainly there to spout exposition that could have easily been relocated to other characters. Mélanie Laurent has the same problem, though her character might have been bearable if it had been just her taking up precious screen time.

Aside from that I can say that it's an okay film. The first half, when we get introduced to the characters and the mysteries, is easily the best part of the film. All the Horsemen are given a really good introduction, the first two show scenes are phenomenal fun and it feels like it's building up to something great.

That something turns out to be something of a letdown and I cannot say that I enjoyed the final third or so all that much. It's passable, but when my friends and I discussed this movie afterwards, we very quickly came up with numerous ways it could have been made better. Mark of a poor film writing. It's hard to write a good ending, I know, but at least some effort should be involved.

Still, all in all this is a good film. It's fun to watch, the characters are enjoyable and the magic tricks are both pleasing to witness as well as imaginative. The ending isn't the greatest one possible, but it doesn't ruin the film. Give it a watch if you like heist films or stage magic.

One question though. Why wasn't the name of this movie The Four Horsemen?",5
"The whole mystery was clear from start and the twist in the end was not important. None of the family members were suspect from start or maybe writer thought we will forcefully suspect them. I was suspecting some major twist in end. But everything was obvious, acting and direction was good and was a good timepass watch.",4
"Great acting, great third act, and great to look at. What falls short is the script and direction.

The biggest flaw with this film is it does not have an identity. Is it a world with comical characters who say the darndest things, or is it a drama packed full of emotion? The drama in this movie is so terribly out of place. Or is it the comedy that is out of place? I couldn't tell. If you want to make a dark comedy or dramedy, you need to weave humor into the plot, not make it an addition.

In his other film, In Bruges, humor was built in to the plot. One of the characters was a whiny man-child who wanted things to go his way. His personality led the way to create funny situations. In Three Billboards though you have a police chief, who we are led to believe is greatly deserving of respect, who ends up making witty quips about serious topics and curses at his children. There is a disconnect between the humor and the plot/characters that just makes it hard to enjoy.",5
"The Good: The action was pretty slick. There were some camera tricks I'd never seen before, and the fight sequences were pretty intense.

The Bad: Very little character development, therefore, not much to care about. What little character development that exists seems like it's ripped straight out of 2000's Gladiator. All in all, it's fairly predictable yet entertaining.

It's watchable. 4/10 It's a Netflix movie, so what do you expect?",4
"This one is a sheer treat to watch. It really makes you think and praise all of them who contributed to the script, because besides the actors and the movie, script is a winner here. It has three things which I look for in a movie - crisp, slick and most importantly engaging. So, even after the audience knows everything here right from the outset ,it still keeps you glued to see the next frame. Neil Nitin Mukesh is simply outstanding and he deserves all the praise for enacting his complex part with élan. Dharmnedra, Vinay Pathak and Zakir Husaain are all brilliant in their roles. Rimi is good, though she doesn't have much to do. And she may be thinking in the end - Why Boys have all the fun in the movie? But hold on, boys don't have all the fun here. Watch the climax and find it for yourself. And last - Sriram Raghavan, I loved Ek Haseena thi. And you have bettered it this time.",9
"Nothing personal about these actors. They were fine when they were children but now that they are little adults their lack of acting skills shines bright.

Nolan now does a weird thing with his voice and Rico now comes across like a clueless idiot.

If the show wants to revive itself and get out of a creative coma then they should ax these two and make Cameron's sister a regular.

The show was funny the first 5 years. The last 3 have been terrible. yes I know it still has its fans but so does ""Donald Trump"".

The shows lack of major awards in the past few years should send a signal to the shows producers that this family in in crisis.

""Seinfeld"" & ""Everybody Loves Raymond"" were still getting major awards late in their respective runs. ""Modern Family"" isn't.",4
One of the best crime thriller in Tamil. Definitely will become one of the best in this genre.Vishnu in the lead role have reprised his role convincingly and with ease.All the supporting actors have put up a very decent show.The Plot has got a lot of twist and turns which keeps you engaged all the time and as the movie reaches climax you will be at edge of the seat.BGM plays a very crucial role and hence theater experience is must to enjoy this movie to the core.Long running time is one of the negative aspect for this thrill but considering the storyline and development of characters this long time is required.Also there are few twists which makes you feel like whether it is required or not.But as said before when you are on the roller coaster ride all these things won't affect you and In the end you walks out of the theater with satisfaction that you have watched one of the best movies this year.!!! Kudos to the team of Ratsasan.!!!,9
"I've watched a LOT of movies in my 5 decades on this planet and some of my favorite are thought provoking films that the masses didn't love or ""get"". But this one, honestly, I don't understand the appeal at all. It's a muddled assault on the senses that jumps all over the place, while boring me to death.

I honestly thought it was over at the 90 minute mark when it said ""The End"" only to see that there was another hour to go. However, I had seen enough and hit Stop. 7 Oscars? Seriously? I don't get what's so great about this film. It's the equivalent of going to an all you can eat restaurant, stopping by salad bar and putting every ingredient in the bowl along 7 different dressings, then stopping by the pasta table and topping it with all the pasta options and 3 different pasta sauces. Oh, and we'll stop by the soft serve ice cream machine and throw that in the same mix with the salad and pasta concoction. Pure insanity and not in a good way.

I only give it a couple stars for attempting to have an interesting concept.",2
"Reading the above comments just makes me reach for the bucket-I may have to reach for the toilet bowl before I finish reading all of them.

This movie is a sad excuse for a B-movie. De Niro's acting has never been so poor, with half-lines and a semi-hashed script which would put a soap opera to shame. The movie is slow, for no apparent reason, the ending is nonsensical and the entire movie is random and without purpose or direction. Now, I hear some of the 'fans' out there shouting ""it's meant to be random, that's what Travis was feeling"" or some other wishfully throughout tripe, but come on, give it up, you've pushed this movie up to #37, you've taken the joke too far, give it up.

I don't know what Scorcese was thinking, maybe he was going through a lonely period in his life feeling a little down, a little alienated, who knows? He must have gone through a similar patch before making Gangs of New York.

I think the only reason why people exaggerate this movie is because they approach it with the formula: De Niro+Scorcese=Ingenious film-making. Hey, it worked for Mean streets, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Casino. Sorry life, like film-making isn't so simple. You have your good days and your bad days, Taxi Driver was filmed on one of the latter days.

Not worth it! p.s The 2 stars the movie got was for De Niro being in it.",2
"The entirety of movie is just a series of one stupid decision after other, asking for help to fix the previous one and then again messing it all up out of irrational and impulsive last second choices repeatedly. I cannot fathom how the cast members portrayed as MIT aspirants and also other grown up adults could collectively be so ignorant and bad at decisions that lead to the plot of this entire movie of just fixing one stupid decision after other. It is just a filler movie which contains homage to the spiderman fans using some nostalgic characters and the plot setup for another upcoming marvel movie of different character which could've done so much sensibly and better than just a very forgettable movie with poor sense of judgements. This has turned out to be the most stupidest spiderman of all 3.",4
"This is not the best movie, but definately not as worst as some people say. I was never bored in the movie and I was surprised by the plot. The only thing i did not like was the fake accent of Jennifer L. I give it 7 stars.",7
"Paradoxes of digital age affect us daily, although we may not know it or don't want to admit it. The Black Mirror reflects these paradoxes and possible dangers in an understandable, moderate, appealing way, without unnecessary moralizing or going to extremes.

Ideas from each episode, which last ""only"" 40-60 minutes, always sticked with me for several days. Episodes which aired on Netflix are less edgy and more straight to the point than those broadcasted on UK television, but Black Mirror is definitely one of the best drama shows in past decade.",9
"I love the actors in this film. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson are amazing as Harry Potter, Ron and Hermiona. My favourite character is Harry, because he is kind, but he hasn´t got a eazy live. He must be very brave to fight Voldemort. I love this film, because it is very thrilling.",9
"This film certainly must have been an anticipated one following the huge success of the first 'Iron Man'. And yet this is now commonly viewed as one of the weakest MCU films. Is it? Yeah kind of but it certainly isn't 'terrible'. Sure the film does suffer from a lack of focus and perhaps it tries a bit too hard to set up 'The Avengers' but it is still a pretty entertaining film throughout. Robert Downey Jr. is once again excellent as Tony Stark, even when the film makes Tony just a bit too damn arrogant. Admittedly the main villain, Whiplash, is a bit of a let-down, especially considering that he's played by Mickey Rourke, but Sam Rockwell makes up for it (for the most part) as the secondary villain, Justin Hammer. The action sequences are once again excellent, especially the finale, and the film once again maintains the MCU's trademark tone and atmosphere. In short, 'Iron Man 2' certainly isn't perfect and by no means 'better' than the first film. However, I will admit that when I first saw it, I actually did think it was better because I actually wasn't too big on the first film when I first saw it. Nowadays things have obviously changed but I still love 'Iron Man 2'. Good solid fun.",8
I thought it would cover all the aspect of Kota life not only love and humour,7
Very poor research done by the team before making the movie.,1
"I think the movie is over-rated.I see, it is probably the best action movie of Batman series but while watching did any of you get a clear idea of emotional background of the characters?!Did you see the true identity of Bruce Wayne?Did you get why Joker became a Joker.I accept that all the actors made a fantastic job but my criticism goes to Nolan brothers.They couldn't shape the characters well; I couldn't see any dramatic scene or dramatic view.Action scenes were really confusing and diffucult to follow.Burton's Bruce Wayne and Batman characters are the best ones so far.In short, no emotional sign from characters and full of action scenes.That's all this movie has.",6
"In this dramatization of the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, a CIA agent devises a plan to rescue six Americans. While not Oscar worthy, this is an exciting look at the daring plan that was classified until recently. Afleck is turning into a competent director, but he should hold on to his acting gig for now. He and the writers go a bit overboard here in trying to add excitement to the historical events. Although the film is shot in a documentary style and implies authenticity, the final act is too contrived in building up the suspense to be believable as a true depiction. The acting is pretty good, with Arkin and Goodman coming off best as a couple of Hollywood personalities involved in the rescue mission.",7
"This is a fictional story about a real life event with a twist. It is a homage to Hollywood nostalgia and movie making. However, for people who do not live in Hollywood or work in the industry, it is rather pointless and meaningless. It could have been made so much shorter (it is too long). Many people, for example the neighbors, did not need to be in the movie because they did not interact with the main characters and did not advance the plot. It could not even be considered a character study because the characters were rather shallow and not particularly likable. It was more boring than Jackie Brown. It did have good cinematography though.",4
"It's so cool when you can binge watch a show you forgot about and a bonus that it was great. I done the whole 10 episodes in one hit and absolutely enjoyed every minute.

The plot throughout was twisty, snappy and fun, sweeping in all directions with unfolding mini stories to fill in the gaps. The cast were ideal and really like how their powers were not the focus of the series, which is where the balance comes into play. Great editing and music selection also contribute towards this epic series that will be a must watch for any comic fan out there.

Huge mention to the very talented Robert Sheehan whom really made this character what it was in the series with hints of his past Misfits character throughout...brilliant. Also, Aidan and Tom really stepped up...hat's off fellas.

Anyway, why are you reading this when you should be getting stuck into episode 1...go on, shoo!",9
"Isn't it difficult enough to make a film as good as ""The Godfather""? For Coppola and Puzo, perhaps not. All the surviving characters from the first installment return in this bravura masterpiece, each of them seems to be growing tragically colder as they age. In the first, the plot exercised the relationship of a mobster father (Brando) and his son (Pacino) following in his footsteps; this time, prequel sections of the film exercise the similarities and difference between the two men in seemingly two different worlds. Robert De Niro made his career off of his Oscar-winning role as young Vito Corleone. First sequel to win an Oscar.

**** (out of four)",10
Very average. Preferred the animation. This felt like a recreation of the animated film in real interpretation. For me the drama and excitement was lost in this movie.,4
"Its not a review. Its not at all about the protagonist's 's innocence,love and compassion.The movie MNIK. in fact transports us to a simple fact that the Indian audience is not ready and is indifferent to themes of terrorism specifically the American one.We just do not connect to this topic of ,Islam,9/11 and take it home. Karan johar, ever since he redefined the entertainment quotient with ""kuch kuch...., has become iconic and structured some ;karva chautha cinema thereafter which received overwhelming response from us as well NRI audience.He innovated what we can name 'dollar cinema'.

MNIK suffers from a strange dichotomy.It successfully transports the message of love, warmth.innocence and compassion through a disease afflicted protagonist's. But the same is distorted to more extent by a faulty script and some unnatural and incredible heroism in the end. More over ,the directors obsession with American terrorism,9/11 and a particular religion in totally unfounded.

Plainly speaking, there is nothing wrong with the caper.Its backed by superlative performances by the lead actors, laced with some melodious music, exemplary cinematography , and some stray directorial punches.The major flaw of the movie is that the undercurrent of husband wife love story is somewhat lost in the post interval portions due to faulty writing. Stilll its worth the price of a multiplex ticket.

Karan Johar should definitely return to feel good cinema.

"Just plain stupid. The lines were awful, the plot was ridiculous. The only mystery is why this do the produces think people why to see this kind of trash.",2
One of the most overrated series that I've ever seen...boring beyond words. And the lead actress has the charisma of a lawn chair. Hard pass.,4
"Amazing season 1, but season 2 strays far from the main character (Saitama/One Punch Man). Season 2 still has great scenes with him but not nearly as many as season 1. Anyway, the show as a while is amazing and also one of the first animes I've ever watched, definitely a great starting anime. It's hilarious and kinda similar to Invincible and The Boys but with more humor and the main character literally isn't effected by any attacks. His real struggle is emotions and finding enjoyment. Saitama is a good person but is extremely oblivious and has terrible situational awareness when he doesn't see a threat, but it is played for comedic purposes and is quite funny. There are scenes where he is walking down the street and monster's try to attack him and he just swats them like flies. Also when heros are fighting a very tough monster and are losing or having difficulty killing it, he just walks over and punches it, which kills it immediately. He's basically an overpowered hero with no limits to his power, he is literally invincible and basically a god. The best part is, he's not even well known at all, no one really knows who he is even though he's the most powerful being in the universe (that is known at least). Also he's the most powerful character in any anime, at least power and durability wise.",8
"This might be a decent show if it wasn't so behind the times. It's supposed to be modern but it's actually far from it. Even an old show like ""The Simpsons"" has had a main vegetarian character for a long time. So this show should at least have a vegan character, but instead it's actually the opposite where they are randomly bashing vegans for stupid cheap jokes. A recent episode they were saying how they were making better money than the nearby ""vegan hotcake"" stand which was deserted. Ridiculous and pathetic. Veganism is very popular and gaining momentum everyday. Apparently the makers of this show don't care about the planet. Get with the times!",1
I think this is one of the best shows I've seen in a few years. I became hooked pretty instantly and watched it within a couple of days. The characters all have an interesting story and the special effects are great.,9
"Before believing anyone who says this is a great movie, first ask what other movies they think are great. Chances are you'll be very surprised by the answer. Different people like different movies, and this movie appeals to the types of people who relish old, depressing early 70s gritty ""reality"" flicks. It's violent, it's gritty, it's depressing from the very first scene, and offers a very sad world-view. It seems to have been created by people who despise the optimism and hope that forms the basis of most super-hero movies, who wanted to attempt to ruin the genre with this piece of nastiness.",4
"Netflix again didn't disappoint the audience with the long break. Sacred Games 2 was a satisfyingly the best move on how a series has to be played on screen.as the series is based on a 900page book titled the same by the Author named Vikram Chandra...This series has been a nail biter for Netflix Audience in India... Similar to how they are captivating audiences across the globe with series like Money Heist & Narcos.. their Netflix Original concept must be working for their financials.. However back to the storyline- they ended season 1 with our minds running with the story on how certain mysteries would be solved.. yet there were some open ends to the story. But never the less it's a try & a try towards something is & will always be considered as an achievement in itself. story also revolves around how Cult representation in our current society is being withheld.. religion in India is sacred & staining the main concept in a fictional manner would have inflated the point on a larger scale.. yet it was well dealt parallel stroy telling was absolutely well executed & the protagonist & anti protagonist Saif, Nawaz & Pankaj played their characters brilliantly.. especially Nawaz, he portraited Gaitonde's Character absolutely & Saif & Pankaj gave a very good meaning to Nawaz's role...carrying his mantle across the series end...web series like these must be promoted & stories like these must be well handled to people like Vikramaditya Motwane & hiring Anurag Kashyap for season 2 as series took a main road on towards violence , mafia, & drugs which seems to be Anurag's Repertoire was a brilliant move by Netflix..

"This film sucks! To me, it is just the film ""American Pie"" dressed up, re-shaped and tells the story of hormone-driven teens who decide to drink and try to get laid. Not much story anymore. Every teen movie now-a-day's take the story from ""American Pie"" and try to cover it up and pass it off as an ""original"" story? It's not. Lame over-acting to attempt to make the teenagers of this generation ""laugh""/lame script/lame story that HAS BEEN USED NUMEROUS TIMES IN TEEN-FILMS. I don't know how people can class this as ""comedy."" It was funny first time round when ""American Pie"" was released but now that there is soo many movies released that show hormone-driven teens, under the influence of alcohol who want to have sex, my love for the original ""American Pie"" (which was at one time one of my favourite films) has worn off! Superbad (2007) is SUPER-BAD!!",1
"All of this makes the movie great and infinitely watchable. But it's what's deeper inside this film ... what it is really about ... that is its true genius.

The Godfather Part II is not really a movie about the mafia, it is a movie about a man's life long struggle. Michael controls a vast empire that is constantly slipping out of his hands. He grows increasingly distrustful and paranoid, and even shows signs that he hates his own life. Michael almost seems to resent the fact that he is a natural born crime lord, a man who puts the family business ahead of everything.

The great Don Michael Corleone can never come to terms with one simple fact.... his father's empire was built on love and respect, Michael's empire is built on fear and violent treachery.

See this movie. It's three-and-a-half hours very well spent.",10
"Masters in the art of telling a good story through cinematographic cameras, the Coen brothers tend to stand out for their very peculiar characteristics, such as their narrative economy, the hints of black humor that permeate their films and their remarkable ability to create striking scenes. All of this can be found in the excellent ""Fargo"", a feature that certainly deserves a prominent place among the countless interesting works of the Coens, which is no small thing, considering the vast and qualified filmography of the duo. Beneath the surface of a suspense thriller and police investigation, the screenplay for ""Fargo"" (written, as usual, by Ethan and Joel Coen themselves) tells the story of desperate Jerry (William H. Macy), a manager at a car dealership. Automaker who faces financial difficulties and decides to plan the kidnapping of his own wife, Jean (Kristin Rudrud). Problem is, things don't go as well as planned, and when kidnappers Carl (Steve Buscemi) and Grimsrud (Peter Stormare) commit multiple murders, determined cop Marge (Frances McDormand) starts investigating the case.

Responsible not only for the script, direction and production, but also for editing ""Fargo"" under the fictitious name of Roderick Jaynes, the Coens confirm their ability to keep the viewer attentive to the intriguing events that follow, leading the narrative in a direct and efficient. Filled with interesting dialogues, the creative script opens up a range of possibilities at every moment, always brilliantly working on how chance influences our lives. However, unlike the characters who can never predict what will happen next, the Coens demonstrate total control over what we see on the screen, creating absolutely electrifying moments (which I will come back to in a moment) amidst the sea of tranquility of the peaceful city from Brainerd. However, despite all the suspense, ""Fargo"" is also filled with a lot of dark humor, featuring a series of hilarious moments that serve to break the growing tension of the narrative, such as when Jean runs away tied up on arrival at the captivity or in the funny interview of Marge with the hookers.

Betting on graphic violence, as in the scene of the murder of the policeman, in the delivery of money in a hotel and in the arrest of Grimsrud, the Coens create a chain of events that only worsen Jerry's situation and, precisely because they show the tragic results of their actions, make the viewer care about the fate of the characters. However, despite working very well as a thriller, ""Fargo"" relies on dark humor to address other issues, functioning as a study on the lifestyle of that peculiar region of the USA. One of the aspects that deserves extra attention is the cinematography, directed by Roger Deakins. Jerry is normally framed at the shoulders or closer. This type of cut accentuates the intensity of the scenes: the viewer can feel almost trapped by the character's gaze or emotions, bearing in mind that the actor's proximity to the camera leaves little more space to look at, just the expression of disgrace of this man. Like him, we have nowhere to escape. One of the most visually striking scenes takes place after the protagonist's father-in-law refuses to give him the amount of money that would completely cover his debts. Jerry ends up leaving the building and sees him from above, heading for his car. The canvas is completely covered by the white of the snow and the only color is his small and insignificant figure, illustrating the solitude he was relegated to, completely abandoned to his fate. Furthermore, the vases symmetrically placed in space almost corner man in his own misery.

Investing in icy colors and masterfully exploring the rawness of the neighboring regions of Minnesota and North Dakota, full of roads surrounded by snow that blend into the skyline and create a look that is both beautiful and frightening at the same time, Deakins' photography is crucial to illustrate the loneliness of the people who live there. This isolation even collaborates to increase the tension in key moments of the narrative, such as the night of the murders, where we know that the innocents who cross the path of the kidnappers will rarely escape with their lives on that cold and abandoned road. Incidentally, this chase scene is among the great moments of the feature, making the viewer glued to the chair while following its outcome.

Wearing sober suits or clothes that convey an austere image (Mary Zophres costumes), the characters of ""Fargo"" represent the central force of the narrative. With his drawn accents and sharp dialogues that betray the funny way of speaking, even supporting characters with small participations become a separate attraction, as Mr. Mohra (Bain Boehlke), who delights us by telling how she heard from the drunken Carl where he would be hiding. On the other hand, this grace will hardly be perceived by a spectator who does not have at least some notion of English (it would be like trying to explain to a foreigner the grace of an accent from any region of Brazil). Also amusing is Peter Stormare's performance as Grimsrud, Carl's mute and menacing partner - who, as usual, is masterfully played by Steve Buscemi, a true expert in the art of playing criminals.

Appearing fragile and hesitant most of the time, Jerry from the great William H. Macy seems unable to impose himself in any dialogue, stopping to speak at the slightest sign that he will be interrupted and stammering several times, in a clear sign of lack of confidence that the actor demonstrates it very well. This feeling, combined with the character's determination to seek a way out of every obstacle that arises (and there are many), is essential for the development of the narrative, since we can rarely predict the character's next steps. But if the entire cast has a great performance, the highlight is Frances McDormand, who gives enormous charisma and a disconcerting simplicity to Marge, a woman seven months pregnant who dedicates herself to her work and her family with the same intensity, calling her attention whenever she enters the scene thanks also to the great performance of the actress. It is she who calms the viewer with her simple reasoning and her direct way of solving problems, something that is clear, for example, in her visit to Jerry's office and in her conversation with an old college friend.

Among so many great moments, it is worth highlighting the excellent kidnapping scene, in which we see Jean paralyzed in front of the image of the kidnapper looking into the house through the window. Notice how Joel conducts the scene with precision, investing in black humor to ease the tension - after all, only in a Coen film would a kidnapper calmly walk around the house looking for an ointment while the victim, after trying to hide, leaves wrapped in a curtain and hides. Crashes to the ground. Likewise, the way in which the big guy Grimsrud tries to disentangle himself from his partner's body in the third act is simultaneously comic and tragic. What is never tragic is the result of the work of the Coens, who, even when they don't get it right, manage to make great films. When they are inspired then, the result can only be spectacular, and this is what happens in ""Fargo"", a tense and fun film, which has a talented cast to become one of the best examples of what the Coens are capable of.

The way the Coen brothers develop Fargo's story is wonderful. With mastery they manage to create chaos through a huge chain of lies, without making the story complicated or surreal. With a very well written script and great performances, they show how one lie leads to another until it turns into a huge snowball. In other words, they prove that if you're not a good liar, it's better to tell the truth soon because sooner or later you're going to fall.

""Fargo"" is a work of impeccable script and unique execution that manages to create different reactions from the spectator, managing to bring him into the film, immersing him completely. His work with three parallel narratives guarantees a unique dynamic to the film, which is, at the same time, fast and slow without ever losing harmony. It definitely has enough material to be explored in the recent TV series adaptation, even if it's a risky bet. It is an unmissable film that leaves us wondering if those events really happened.",8
One of the finest movie ever made. Complete entertaining movie.,9
"In long, genteel family drama / social statement ""American Fiction"" Jeffrey Wright (solid again) is a struggling author on an enforced break visiting his upper-middle-class Massachusetts family (inc Sterling K Brown & Tracee Ellis Ross) that's going thru change (and tragedy) as he bemoans the portrayal of black lives in pop culture (esp literature - by the likes of Issa Rae) which he does something about (via a Keith David cameo) with unintended consequences... all the while wooing Erika Alexander. Debut writer / director Cord Jefferson is ambitious, and does well... but ultimately coulda had more grit in the film's early rounds. It's not bad, but it's not great.",7
"I love a good slow-burn film. This film was just slow. I think the folks who loved the train wreck Star Wars film Johnson directed went out of their way to praise this film. If you prefer politics, political correctness, and putting your worldview over actual good storytelling, then Ryan Johnson films are for you.",1
"For some this review will appear contradictory as almost a year ago I stated that 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' was the greatest Spidey flick. Consider that statement promptly withdrawn. 'Spider-Man 2' tops it in every conceivable way. It is in my mind a better film than 'The Dark Knight'. 'Spider-Man 2' grips from the get go and its webbing does not loosen its hold until the end credits crawl up the screen. Even the opening titles are imaginative, clips are not shown of 2002's 'Spider-Man' and its events but comic book panels. They dazzle your eyes and keep you waiting and wondering as to how the events will unfold. Peter Parker played by a Tobey Maguire whom embodies nerdiness, has now taken up the mantel of Spider-Man and this takes precedence in his life over his college work, job and wannabe girlfriend Mary Jane Watson played by the marvellous Kirsten Dunst.

Parker even struggles to stay friends with Harry Osborne played by a scene stealing James Franco, who vows that Spider-Man will pay after the events of the first film where Harry saw Spider-Man return his father's dead body to him. Parker is leading the double life but as a new villain emerges to terrorise the city of New York will he be able to protect the ones he cares about? 'Spider-Man 2' raises the bar to staggering heights, heights which even Spidey would fail to climb. What makes this sequel better than its fantastic original is not merely awesome special effects and an increase in budget. 'Spider-Man 2' is more entertaining, romantic, energetic, visually dazzling and boasts one of the best villains of Cinema since the birth of Darth Vader. Alfred Molina as Doctor Octopus or as J Jonah Jameson Editor of the Daily Bugle says Doc Ock for short. Molina gives an all-round better performance than dare I say it Heath Ledger as the Joker. Molina lends Doctor Otto Octavius much heart, emotion and gravitas which contribute to a more engaging character and a better developed one. As Octavius accepts his destiny, he falls into a world of crime which he cannot escape from. He is not a villain by choice, but by consequence. Once his science experiment goes out of control his world does too. Losing his wife does not help matters and he so strongly believes in science and his life's work that he is willing to cause the death of millions or even his own.

The action scenes work so well because we actually get the sense that Spider-Man is a person in between all of this destruction. These scenes which involve a flurry of CGI wizardry see Spider-Man fling himself towards his opponent, but most importantly they look real. Even the emotional aspect is ramped up. Parker loses his job, comes ever so close to failing his college course and finds out that Mary Jane has a new lover. All of which contribute to Peter Parker losing his powers as Spider-Man in the majority of the second act. But it all makes sense. Parker is not invincible as a Super-hero; he is a real person, with real issues and real problems. All of the other Spider-Man films failed to capture this deep level of emotion and make it have an impact on Parker's life as a whole. We get a deeper knowledge of Peter's infatuation with Mary Jane. He loves her, but by the same token, knows that she will never be safe because of his crime fighting life. It is this struggle that makes this tale of heroism so much more than your average film about good versus evil and far more emotionally complex and involving as a whole.

The comedy lends a light hearted feel and tone for the film, it never becomes too serious or too dark, and this is about as far as you can get from 'The Dark Knight Rises' as possible. Furthermore, it relies more on visuals and not the all too obvious humour present in the new Marc Webb films. The score itself is perfection, everything that a Superhero's theme should be and more. Danny Elfman firmly cements himself as a grand composer alongside the likes of John Williams and Howard Shore. In all honesty I could talk about this film for 127 minutes, the runtime of 'Spider-Man 2'. Do you need any more reasons to purchase this film right away? Well let me sum it all up.

'Spider-Man 2' is compelling evidence that the best films don't have to be Biopics or Dramas. But films that offer character development, humour, wit, romance, action and pull on your heartstrings. 'Spider- Man 2' is the greatest Spidey flick hands down, by the longest thread of web that Spider-Man can conjure. If 'Spider- Man' is to undergo another reboot then perhaps it is time to reconsider Sam Raimi as the Director and for Tobey Maguire to don the outfit for one last spin.",10
"Just finished the second episode, and I have to say that this probably is the worst series I have ever seen. It is the first series I have watched that got me SERIOUSLY frustrated. It is extremely incoherent, the episodes has nothing to do with each other. Also the events and situations are so far fetched, it is as if the writer were retarded or something. The different episodes are also uneventful, numb and has quite poor effects/acting. Do not watch this piece of crap, use your time on something else please.

DO NOT WATCH!

/Alex",1
"9/10 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠 ""The Punisher"", ""Daredevil"", ""Luke Cage"", ""Iron Fist"" even ""Jessica Jones"" I truly enjoy every series that netflix has launched in the comic book superhero genre but when compared to the newest arrival ""The Umbrella Academy"" all the others fall extremely short when comparing storyline, pace and originality. It's not whether you relate to the fun drug addicted gay brother Klaus or his sister the black star movie actress Allison the amazing thing about these 7 siblings with super abilities is the fact you not only grow attached to each one of their stories but the countless other very interesting characters surrounding them. Usually the mystery in these shows isn't that mysterious or difficult to figure out but this series unfolds in such a beautiful way they leave no stone unturned while simultaneously leaving Easter eggs to be revealed at a later time. These siblings who may have been orphans at one point in their life have a thousand differences that constantly comes up between them but the beautiful thing this series accentuates is the relation of them being brothers and sisters is never questioned and at a time like this in America this show is truly inspiring to watch. To say anymore would risk spoiling so I will end and I highly recommend this as the best Netflix series in the hero genre that's been released as of yet. To not release more seasons of this series would be criminal.",9
"After going down the page and looking at about 25 other reviewers reviews I really disappointed and ashamed with people who have gave this such a negative rating. IMO its such a powerful and disturbing take on the issue and even though I never went through those issues in high school I have had these thoughts for different reasons.

The second season takes the story to a new place and even though people see it as a bad thing this is part of what actually happens.",9
"The cast is amazing, and the post production is very well done. The show is satisfying and has its own charms. It is an easy 8 for those aspect.

Story-wise, the writer made this show more to be like a setup for phase 4, which is smart and fine, it explains just enough for the build up. But a little bit unfair for the character. We hardly see any depth on every characters, even the Loki's character can be questionable in this show. We didn't get to see the greatness of god of mischief that we've been waiting for as a fan. In wanda and falcon series, the story focus on the character, but in Loki the story focus on the world. With only 6 episodes of it, i think it is way too rushed.

So overall 7 out of 10.",7
"I really appreciate the work that went in to telling the story, I really liked that the effects were very realistic and everything, but I think it's a bit overhyped in my opinion. That could just be because I've studied the whole thing and watched many documentaries over the years that to me it felt over dramatized.. I also was obviously distracted by the fact the Russians didn't sound at all Russian.. nobody even attempted to try to sound Russian..

Don't get me wrong, I recommend it.. you will probably enjoy it! it just wasn't exactly for me.. I got pulled in by the hype train and I was into it for a couple of episodes before I lost interest.",3
I am sorry i wasted two hours of my life watching this beautiful piece of garbage...,1
"The first Avatar filled me with love for the dreamlike forest scenes in 3D and the message that we should cherish nature, but Avatar 2 did nothing for me. It's like a Starwars combat in Vietnam with NatGeo in the background and a bit of Titanic crammed in at the end. I did enjoy the visuals, but half an hour would have been enough to tell this story. There was no emotional attachment to the characters either. It baffles me why one person dies and another one doesn't, unless the sole aim of the film is to cram out Avatar 3. What a shame such a lot of money is spent by someone who has nothing to tell.",4
"This film does a good job of keeping the viewer engaged the entire time. It highlights certain aspects of WW1 without doing a deep dive into the war or particular aspects of combat. The characters are interesting, you don't need a lot of dialogue or background to feel connected. The acting is good as well. This film was done as long shot, which keeps the pace moving. However, it makes the transitions awkward, as it is roughly 18 hours of time for the characters condensed into a 2 hour run on scene for the viewer. That awkwardness of characters flowing from one situation to the next too quickly, some war movie cliques, bad physics on the plane crash, and good, but not great combat scenes prevent this from reaching the levels of Dunkirk or Saving Private Ryan, but still very much worth your time.",7
Thank you Netflix for beautiful story and background score.,10
It would be a lot better than if there wasn't as many f-bombs. 1 per episode max but there's like 3 to ten per episode that's insane. I really loved it but I do not like swearing to me there are much better was to show that your upset other than saying the f-bomb an that is all.,9
"It was a good time at the movies going to see American Fiction. It's not a story that I have not heard in some form or fashion before but the dramatic content made it fresh over just being a comedy.

Speaking of comedy Sterling K. Brown was hilarious in the film. He just kept me laughing every time he was on the screen.

American Fiction makes a lot of points without needing to take a side and was more about the character development of Thelonious Ellison played by Jeffery Wright as he deals with life and his family.

This movie has a lot of substance to it, from the smallest sub plot that was just as engaging to go through as the main one. Its a very complete film.",8
"If you ask an anime fan which anime should you watch first, most probably you are going to listed the name DEATH NOTE. It had a superb plot and storyline and character development is outstanding, but at the same time it is easy to understand. This show provides a glimpse of what the anime world has in store for the people who haven't watched anime. Some episodes in between the show (after the event that pissed everyone off) were a little slow compared to the rest of the series. Other than that the entire show was just outstanding.",9
"This movie is not his masterpiece. I actually like Nolan's movies such as Memento, The Prestige and The Dark Knight Trilogy. But this movie is too long and dragging it seems like waste of film to make a movie this long. Why input lots of useless dialogue or scenes? The only part I like is actually the part they're not in space, as the effect on space is not really good and gets a little boring overtime. If I want to watch a movie with space, I prefer and suggest to watch Cosmos: A Space TimeOdyssey (2014), it have more awesome visual stunning effects than this movie and also more clever approach for your brain because it teaches you REAL science.

Maybe Nolan is not ready to make a Space Movie. If you think this is the best space movie of all time, I suggest you watch the Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986), Star Wars and Star Trek franchises, and 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). I prefer Hal 9000 over Tars for an AI.",7
"Love the main character in this - very quirky and cool. Other than that, it failed to keep my full attention - probably because the storyline has been done so many times before.",6
"WandaVision was great, but this is different and I think better in a lot of ways. This is more mature, the acting is solid especially John Walker as the new Cap I love this guy! Chemistry between Falcon and the Winter Soldier is beautiful and natural. And the Wakandans, wow! Only thing that is a little off for me so far is the Villain.

A few people are rating this very low and taking about it not being genuine because of the talk on race. Read the comics! Fact is any story about a black Captain America that avoids race would feel ingenuine. Face the truth and enjoy a beautiful show, can't wait for the last episode.",8
"Great movie based on the graphic template. Although, of course, impossible to convey faithfully so enormous story on the big screen and the end is totally different, but that's what I expected. This film is showed how important director. Russo brothers have done a great job at the Captain America: Winter Soldier but they also repeated the same now with the Civil War. They get great material in hand (almost all the most important characters in the Marvel) and are managed to make a very, very good film. Way to go (stupid Snyder). Motivation at the figures is clearly displayed so that everyone can understand it.A only action? Not only is it the best in the Marvel world, but also in general. The effects are in place, the perfect combination of CGI and stunt, I just enjoyed it. I do not have any major objections, eventually someone will say that there are too many characters to follow, but that's why I used the previous films as well as those who have already announced. Marvel continues with excellent films, in my opinion, do not have any really bad movie, they're good or excellent. It's a shame that the DC can not do such a good job, especially when you have a better material.",9
"The first Sherlock film, while surely a departure from the traditional way a Holmes story is told, I thought to be quite enjoyable, despite its few flaws. Game of shadows, however is an entirely different experience- and not in a good way. I won't sit and dissect the entire plot if the movie, but I will tell you what it does well, and what it fails miserably at doing.

The good: There is no shortage of witty banter or a good time to be had watching the two leading men go about their mysterious trade. When the action scenes occur, they are fast- paced and visually stimulating to watch. The film does a wonderful job at being an authentic-feeling period piece ( for the most part.) Characters are often dirty, bleeding, and they retain their bruises for days after a skirmish. Also notable is the score, which contributes to the mystique of the Holmes universe, but with a smattering of action film- style ambiance added into the mix.

The Bad: Unfortunately, so many things are wrong with this film. I could buy in the first film that, given his genius level and insatiable appetite to learn, Holmes was a skilled fighter. However, game of shadows seems to endow him with superhero qualities, as he dispatches trained soldiers, Russian Cossack ninja's, and the like. The film falls flat during most scenes and lacks interesting character development, personality, and subplots altogether. Downey and Law are THE only element keeping the film afloat most times. More frustrating is the films over-use of the bullet time sequences, and the strong vibe that the movie is thoroughly impressed with itself throughout the entire sitting. Particularly eye- roll inducing is what I like to call the ""Jack Sparrow"" effect; in that the producers seem to think the audience are a bunch of idiots who ONLY want to see Holmes at his absolute craziest. This is forced in every scene, and the result is an, almost, cartoon version of Downey's portrayal in the first film. Lastly is the movie's lack of direction and ""bite"" to its plot. Most times it's unclear what the objective is. And Moriarty's lack of showing his criminal genius is a missed opportunity, his evil plans somewhat esoteric.

Bottom line:

Game if shadows is worth a rental if you're a fan. But don't expect to be dazzled. Shadows is at it's best when playing up the tense moments of deduction by Holmes and company, but those moments are few and far-fetched. Sometimes great actors are given not-so-great material. (I'm looking at YOU, Phantom Menace)",4
"Forget Home Alone or Die Hard - in a few years people will all be re-watching the Witcher as part of their Christmas ritual. Magic, mystery, adventure, dragons, fantastical beasts (and not where to find them), humour, action...

The show clearly has high production value. It shows that the people who made the ""top"" decisions in making the Witcher were fans of the story, setting and characters. The show is simply beautiful, the fight scenes are epic, all choreography is shot in wide-angle, it's clear and stable, almost like watching an old-timely Jackie Chan fight scene - they WANT your to see and enjoy the fights.

If you are a fan of the games (at least the most recent one) or the books, you might be a bit irked about certain choices of actors - some characters ""magically"" changing race, hair colour, facial features, etc, which, at times, can bring your immersion out of the show. Personally, it is a small inconvenience, and I don't believe it's worth deducting ratings for that.",5
"Don't expect Game of Thrones. If GOT were a Lexus, this is a Camry. It's essentially medieval Succession with the ugliest cast ever assembled. Seriously, the Targaryen are portrayed as a beautiful race. Paddy Considine looks like a Homer Simpson version of King Viserys. Matt Smith? Come on, I don't even need to say anything about Matt Smith. The faces on these guys are downright distracting. And just wait until you get to Ewan Mitchell as Prince Aemond. CGI could not make these characters more unappealing. And I haven't even mentioned Milly Alcock or Emma D'Arcy, both of whom are solid 4's out of 10.

Beyond the distracting homeliness factor, the show itself is a drag. Yeah we get it, everyone wants to claim the seat of power. A few side plots wold be helpful. Whenever the plot drags, they throw in a dragon scene. Wow, how innovative. Most people are mindless dopes and will watch and like the show regardless I assume.",3
"I'm not a 'Mission: Impossible' fan, but having enjoyed 'Mission: Impossible 5 - Rogue Nation', here I am watching 'Mission: Impossible 6 - Fallout'. I must say - unlike 'The Fast and the Furious' franchise - the 'Mission: Impossible' franchise is definitely getting better. I enjoyed this installment as well.

While 'Fallout' is more confusing than 'Rogue Nation', it was entertaining enough to keep me captivated, and the third act was absolutely wonderful.

Some of the cast members of 'Rogue Nation' return for this installment, and for the first time the film follows on its predecessor. 'Fallout' follows on the events of 'Rogue Nation' - two years later. In 'Rogue Nation', Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) captured the head of the Syndicate, Solomon Lane. The remnants of the Syndicate are now known as The Apostles, who stole three plutonium cores from Russia.

Ethan's mission is to prevent the Apostles from acquiring plutonium. Together with his faithful friends Benji (Simon Pegg) and Luther (Ving Rhames), they embark on a mission to Berlin to recover the plutonium cores. When the mission fails, CIA Director Erika Sloane (Angela Bassett) appoints agent Walker (Henry Cavill) to accompany Ethan on his next mission.

Ilse Faust (Rebecca Ferguson) returns for another adventure with Ethan. There are a host of new characters; several of them having twist character developments. The first two acts does get a bit complicated and confusing with all the information and if you haven't seen 'Rogue Nation', you might be a bit lost with some of the events in 'Fallout'.

Regardless, 'Fallout' is a good movie with incredible stunt choreography and action sequences. Tom Cruise is once again doing his own (very dangerous) stunts - similar to Buster Keaton back in the early 20th Century. (If you haven't seen any of Buster Keaton's movies yet, you are seriously missing out on some of the industry's finest stunts ever - especially for its time!).

As I mentioned earlier, the third act is by far the best. The moment they arrive at a medical camp in Kashmir, the film treats us to non-stop action and entertainment, danger and death-defying stunts. This was actually really cool! At least now there are two films in the franchise I enjoy.",6
Such good acting on show from so many wonderful Actors Sadly it doesn't even come close to being riveting or even enjoyable. It's a bore fest Such a damn shame as it could have been so much better with this wonderful cast,5
This film looks utterly amazing but the script is delivered with little to no enthusiasm from most of the voice actors. The whole thing is flat and lacking in character. The comedy that makes the original so great is desperately lacking in this half hearted rehash,4
"To be honest I didn't had big expectations about this. I just entered because someone asked me to watch it. When the movie started, I didn't really understand it at all. I was trying to understand it during the first minutes of the movie. I fell asleep like 40 minutes. I woke up when Sam was trying to get to the real world, because i thought that part would be interesting... not at all.

Why people say this has EXCELLENT effects? Really, it has sometimes good effects, but do you think that a lot of lights and neon tubes are excellent effects? don't think so.

So my conclusion is... don't watch it!!! if you want to watch it wait until you can go to Blockbuster and spend about 5 bucks in this.

Regret going to this movie, what a waste of time.",2
"I have to be honest: I waited for inception for a long time and was hoping to be blown out of my chair. However, I couldn't believe how similar the movie is to a lot of movies out there.

First of all, the roles: being so close to the release of Shutter Island, I am surprised that Dicaprio decided to take on a role fairly similar to that one, where the emotional and psychological baggage are pretty much the same. Similarly, the way he deals with it is by handling guns and violent projections. Very shallow psychological treatment to tell you the truth.

As for the plot, it reminds me of the Matrix in many ways. Beyond the obvious (the dreamworld, the weird sci-fi language with new lingos like ""totem"", and so on), it captures the same cinematographic transformation of psychological ideas (in matrix these were ideas of the virtual computer world). For example, the defences of the mind taking shape as a semi-army of private militia men. In the Matrix the defences of the computer world take shape as Mr Smith. This visualization as weak and it merely serves to bring down the movie to a realistic level of movie-watching a la Die Hard.

To be honest, I don't know what the big deal with this movie is. Sure, the effects are superb, the slow montion scenes are fantastic, and the plot is compelling while you are watching it. But as you leave the theatre, as you digest it, you can't help making associations and the ideas and the plot seemed recycled from somewhere else.

In a post-matrix world, I believe Inception fails to surprise and merely entertains.",7
Brilliant adaptation. I finished the series in a matter of days. I hope the second season is out soon!,8
"After all the hype for the movie I decided to finally watch it a few months ago and I got bored at the first 20 minutes.today I decided to watch it again full and I did.one question...WHY THE *beep* did that piece of crap got 8.9?why do people consider it as the best movie ever?were the standards so freaking low back then?1 hour in the movie and still wandering what the hell is going on.1 hour later and guess what,still wandering what the hell is going on.plus,at 2nd hour of the movie they're putting new characters in,that we don't care at all.OK,i get it, it's flash backs and forwards,and they all connect at the end.but come on man,2 and something freaking hours of scenes that make no sense,to show a scene at the end that connects it all?not worth it,totally not worth it",5
"It's good, very well shot, very. but it's not better than SPR, nowhere near, it's a well told war story with good acting.",6
"OK, I understand, air took place over one or two hours, the boat over one or two days, the land plot, over a period of a week, all meeting at one point at the end of the movie. Excellent production values and cinematography, but it was like losing your place in a book while reading it, jumped around too much.",7
"Marvel's The Punisher (Netflix) delivers great and realistic themes unlike anything Marvel has done before. The way the show carries its realistic approach is something so captivating and disturbing in a well performance kind of way. Jon Bernthal has created Frank Castle the way it should be, he is the perfect Punisher!

The two series explore dark themes and PTSD, so much so this is far more disturbing Marvel has ever explored. It's unique take on the character is portrayed well and every action scene is something you'd have to watch after the kids have gone to sleep. Talk about Spider-Man being kid friendly, this surpasses that for miles. I'm hoping The Punisher stays R-Rated now that Disney+ has an age restriction.

It's not as good as Marvel's Daredevil (Netflix), but it's something to look into if you love the Marvel world. They better not recast Bernthal as Castle, because he a lot of credit.

8/10.

Give it a watch, you might be surprised.",8
"The second instalment of iron man turned out to be...let's say average! Whilst Mr Downey Jr and Mickey Rourke maintain a good level of acting, the storyline somewhat blues the essence of what Iron man is truly about...

Firstly, everything cool about iron man stays relatively unique. The hot rod red and gold colours maintain his glamour, but the production of other suits means that Iron man doesn't seem as special now. Secondly, 'hammer industries' really loses the fear factor when Hammer himself is portrayed so badly by Sam Rockwell. Not so much a villain as a comedian, which is not what the doctor ordered.

I'm intrigued by the marvel series after watching this, with Natalie rushman clearly the aesthetically pleasing type and the introduction of the second coolest man on the planet (Samuel L Jackson), the story is beginning to piece together.. but compared to the first movie in the iron man series, this was a little below the bar set

J Boss reviews gives 7.0/10",7
"Now this was a movie that originally, I had no interest in seeing. Seeing all these people have meltdowns about it piqued my interest. My wife, Jaime, was in a similar boat. We wanted to go see it in the theater, but having a newborn at the time didn't help. This ended up being one that she streamed on Max.

What we get here is following the life of Barbie (Margot Robbie). Later, we will learn that she isn't one of the versions that has a set job. She is stereotypical. We meet other Barbies like the president, played by Issa Rae. There are writers, scientists and other important positions. We also meet Ken (Ryan Gosling). He is friends with other Kens and even has a rivalry with Ken, played by Simu Liu. I also wanted to bring up Allan (Michael Cera) who is an awkward friend who was a discontinued doll.

Now things all change when Barbie has deep thoughts that break her perfect facade. She then goes to an odd Barbie (Kate McKinnon). She directs her to the real world and seek out the child that is playing with her to see if this can break her funk. This leads her to Sasha (Ariana Greenblatt) and her mother, Gloria (America Ferrera), who works at Mattel. This leads Barbie on a journey that will shake the fabric of her world, see how things are in the real world and try to fix things before it is too late.

I think that should recap the story without going too in-depth. Where I want to start is that I can see why people love this and others hate it. The argument for the latter is that this is too heavy handed with its commentary. I think the problem there is that it is right and people just don't want to hear it. We live in a patriarchy. Men control this world and even though there are exaggerated things that happen in this movie, it also is dead on with things as well. Ken also brings these ideas back to Barbie Land and that leads to a funny as well as scary version.

Let me then switch gears a bit. I watched this for the first time and a newer parent to a daughter, Mackenzie. This made me tear up, because I don't want her to be treated second class and at a disadvantage to start. I'm hoping that through movies like this or just these issues being brought up that real change can be made. Does this go over the top? Yes, but I think that it does both ways. This shows that having a woman dominated society is bad, which is how Barbie Land was. When the Kens take over, it is equally bad. We need balance here. I think that is what both sides are missing while watching this. What I will say is that we are skewed one way and things still need to be balanced to fix that.

Where I'll then take this is to the acting. This is presented in a comedic fashion so the acting is over the top. Robbie is perfectly cast as Barbie to me. What makes it even better, this movie acknowledges things when it goes bleak and she feels 'ugly'. That was a good move. Robbie is a solid actor so that also helps. The rest of the Barbies are solid with Rae, McKinnon and the like. Gosling, Liu and the other Kens are also good. I love that this acknowledges that Ken is not Barbie's husband, but her companion. I definitely need to credit Ferrera here. She steals the show with her speech. I like Greenblatt in her role pointing out that Barbie does have sexist aspects and those need to be acknowledged. This stems from how the doll is built as it is unrealistic. Other than that, Cera is funny. Rhea Perlman is good in her role. Helen Mirren is the narrator. We also have Will Ferrell in a fun cameo. The acting here just works.

Where I'll end out is that this is well-made. Barbie Land is dreamlike and like a fairy tale. There is a good duality how it isn't that much different from the real world, but it still is. That worked for me. We have CGI, but again that is showcasing things that are out of the normal which worked for me. There aren't a lot of effects, but enough to notice. This has a lot of money behind it, so it doesn't look bad. Other than that, I like things they do with the soundtrack. Not the greatest but works for the framework. Ahead of seeing this, keep in mind what I've said here. If you know this is going to trigger you or it's not for you, I'd move on. There is a good message here and it's a fun movie to boot.

My Rating: 8 out of 10.",8
Ok .. I have only seen season 1 and I think it is a bit predictable.I had to just wait for the things to actuall happen in Ep7-8. I don't think it deserves above 8 rating . It's good but not that good.,6
"Okay so tell me who is villain here if any.

What is story getting loan or fixing boat of falcon and winter soldier friendship I mean what. This entire show was pathetic Very weak plot. I some how manged to watch this. After wonder women 1984 this was second utter disappointment.",1
"This, perhaps the greatest sequel ever, tells the parallel stories of Michael's struggles as the new Godfather and the rise of the legendary Vito Corleone. The presentation of Vito's story is particularly impressive, with DeNiro in a fine performance. Michael's story tends to bog down at times but never fails to be compelling. Pacino is terrific, as are Duvall, Cazale, and Strasberg. The cinematography is beautiful and Rota builds on his memorable score from the first film. Coppola pushes all the right buttons, letting the stories unfold majestically. Having made the two Godfather films by age 35, the talented director had nowhere to go but down.",10
"What the hell is wrong with people these days? Why does every impersonal, cliché, unremarkable movie instantly gets in the top 250? Let alone the top 10? I was rather entertained with the two previous movies, mainly thanks to Liam Nesson and Heath Ledger who are fantastic actors. Overrated movies in my opinion, but good enough movies. But there's nothing to save this movie from Nolan's lack of talent this time

Here are the flaws already present in the previous movie that have not been corrected, or got even worse:

-Batman's grunting, worse than ever. Jesus Christ you would think after all the mockery that's been done about it, he would at least try to improve that part a bit, but no it's actually more ridiculous than ever. - The music is omnipresent during the whole movie. It goes basically ""tchac boum tchac"" for all the movie, including the dialogue scenes. horrible artistic choice. - The action scenes, dull as hell. How can anyone fin this 'spectacular' is beyond me: there's no tension, intensity or drama in all of them. Nolan had too big a budget and decided to blow stuff up just for the hell of it.

But there are new flaws as well! - The villain's motivations, which was what made the previous film interesting, are just completely incoherent! I won't say much more not to spoil anything, but believe me you just spend the whole movie asking yourself: why? why do this? - The villain himself. Without spoiling anything, let's just say all his back-story and charisma is destroyed by one silly, silly twist. - The villains' deaths have to be the most underwhelming I've ever seen. - The references about the current economic crisis: awwww look at these evil traders getting pointed a gun at, didn't they totally deserve it? Yawn. - The love interest. Wayne just randomly has sex with a woman he's barely met. Why? no idea.

Overall this movie is dull as hell, and while I can see why people would like the first two movies, there really is nothing to save in that one.",2
Very good addition to the franchise. Samuel l Jackson added his name to a growing list of stars appearing in the franchise,9
"If you are 15 years old and think one man can single handedly kill a while police force and army whilst carrying no extra ammo, then this movie is for you. There is literally no story to it. It has a one sentence plot to it. There's no dialogue so the acting can't be judged. Turn the volume down because its machine gun fire for 90 minutes. Intelligent adults look elsewhere.",3
Ah that pieces of fmenist female again... victim card her way to more money,1
Really enjoying this series & the risks they've taken so far.,8
"I'm flabbergasted by the hype surrounding this film. It does indeed have some charm and the opening shots of Tokyo remind one of Woody Allen's 'Manhattan, but as a love story? Not! It's easy to see that the camera loves Scarlett Johanssen, and she is lovable, but the plot goes nowhere and the blood of this film is thin and watery, rather than red and robust. Bill Murray's acting as a sour old codger doesn't remind me of anything but someone wandering around on tranquilizers. The screenplay is not exceptional, but the director does show promise and some genuine talent that is really her own. I give this film a 6 for effort.",6
"The series as far as I see it has a lot of potential and is so far pretty fateful to what fans of the Witcher franchise think the Witcher should be. The main flaw with the series is that it can be confusing on the first watching because of the time jumps. This however is something that was necessary to introduce the three main leads at the, relatively, same time. This could have been avoided by introducing Gerald and Yennefer, then go forward with the series and then introduce Ciri. This however isn't a good option either since the early stuff on Ciri on the books is not as expansive as that of Gerald and Yennefer. This would still lead to people not caring enough about Ciri but would have solved the time jumps. The good news is though that they have said the next season will be less confusing for newcomers of the series.",8
"seriously it's that good. 24 is without doubt the best show to ever grace our TV screens, some will argue against this because certain story lines seem unfeasible- it's TV, dammit it's bad enough we have to put up with the boundaries of reality in real life, now what we watch has to be realistic? For those who have seen it you should know what I'm talking about, for those who haven't, do the following- 1) Go and borrow/buy season 1 and watch all the seasons chronologically otherwise some moments in the more recent seasons will have no impact on you whatsoever 2) Go watch it now, stop going on about ""oh, Lost is so great, it's all about these people who are lost and they don't know where they are cos they're lost, it's great cos it goes on for ages but never really gets anywhere"" because quite frankly Lost is not good enough to kiss Kiefer Sutherland's backside.",10
"I have no clue how this series got approved for production. Or why it has 8+ user rating - maybe it's British people who see something more in it than the others? For me it feels like a parody of Homeland, using amateur screenwriters and actors on 3% budget. Can't remember being this bored watching Netflix, don't remember ever giving such a low score to any series. Please cancel this show, it makes the world sad...",3
"Currently up to S1Ep7 and it feels every bit BBC and not HBO. Graphics is poor in parts. Lot of chit chat and nothing happening. Acting is sub standard. Characters are meh, like no one I like, no one I hate. Slow as anything.

Not feeling this and to say fans hated season 8 of GoT that was significantly better than S1 of this.

Young Rhaenyra Targaryen is the only decent thing in this. Visery's can't act for toffee.

Shows the difference between GoT and HotD, Sean Bean was the main guy compared to the dude out of Dr Who.

I don't know whether to carry on watching this or not. Already know 3 people that gave up on it, might follow suit.",5
"Three hours wasted, was about as good as declawing my dog and at least I like the dog. The storyline was terrible, and for many blatantly obvious reasons made no senses, to make matters worse it seemed to have more holes in it, than my old gym socks. Yes I know all the good guys weren't going to make it, everyone knew that, I actually hoped a few wouldn't make it, and that's not what I care about, this movie was rubbish it labored three hours to get to the point of dead good guys/bad guys then victory and bang happy ever after for two minutes then over. This is going straight in the never watch again list, unless trapped on a plane in which case fingers crossed for a parachute, but will jump without one.",3
"A story about two horrible people falling in love with eachother but in the end mostly themselves.

But of course being two selfish people in a relationship isn't easy, which is what then drives the story.

The format is a refreshing return to musicals which is much appreciated, but none of the songs are memorable, so it is mostly just for people loving the old musical format.

The acting is good, direction excellent. The only thing really dragging the story down is how a) unrelatable the main characters are, and b) how bad people they are. If find doing one of the other would have worked better.",5
"""Bird Box"" is a worse version of ""A Quiet Place"" only here people don't have to see. Sandra Bullock and others do a good job but their characters are flat and you can't get attached to them. Plus these I don't know whose idea it was with all the flashbacks throughout the film, but for me, at least, they cut the thread of the story. Although I've seen the concept before, that doesn't necessarily make it bad, but the fact that there is no explanation of what it happens and where do these creatures come from, we were a bit left in the air throughout the film. We were waiting for an explanation at the end, but nothing happened, although the ending was not bad.",6
I absolutely love Hannibal!!! Please make more seasons.,10
I like it so far. Kate is amazing. She plays so deep in all the parts of her role. Zabel was also good. The whole cast is doing its job very well.,8
"The show is kind of slow at the beginning, not much magic as I'd like but then it starts going better, there's good action, good chats but man, Henry Cavill, what a gorgeous man! and a great actor too, I knew Henry in the man of steel but I didnt have an idea that he got these amazing ASSets xD I recommend this show if u like medieval or magical shows!",8
"I'm puzzled and wondering how the IMDb ratings work, the consensus on this one if you go by the rating means it's an excellent movie and worth seeing. In reality, this movie is God awful. Talk about a snooze fest, this one is sooo slow, and sooo boring, and sooo tedious that you'll need a box of toothpicks to keep you eyes open watching this so called or should I say highly rated movie. The story line screams ""who cares"", there isn't one moment in the entire movie where you will really give a crap. Yeah I guess the acting was good, if you go to movies strictly to see good acting well maybe this one is for you, but if you are like most movie goers who want a story worth paying attention to, well then this sleep producing dog must be avoided. So to recap- it's terrible, boring, slow, no story line, and did I mention a complete waste of time? Avoid this movie, you can thank me later.",1
"This movie really has nothing redeeming. The acting is fine, but nothing is demanded of the actors. The movie is filled with mundane conversation, (e.g. ""'where are you from?' - long pause - 'New York'"") and already dated cultural slapstick ""humor"".

It is basically the story of a slow, uninteresting, and depressing intergenerational romance, except without any compelling dialogue or believable interactions. We are forced to watch the inside of Tokyo night clubs and late night apartment karaoke - scenes which interesting only if you have spent the last 10 years reading Chaucer in a coffee shop. I found myself admiring the fantastic theater I was sitting in to amuse myself.

There are two reasons I can imagine it has received positive reviews: 1) It was written by the daughter of a powerful Hollywood figure. 2) It appeals to the Oedipal fantasies of the post-middle-age reviewers.",1
This movie is 2 hours of Tarantino foot fetish (like when he licked salma Hayek's feet) and the last 30 mins made for the fans,5
"Being a human being myself, I am aware that human beings are animals - and this film was 3 hours of meaningless exploration of the fact that human beings are animals. So though this film has all the hallmarks of a good movie, it lacks substance.

Perhaps the story itself was unworthy of a film of this stature, in which case it's a shame that the director's considerable skills and talents were wasted on a shallow subject. The improbably crazy and generally icky scenarios the story contains might have seemed like the stuff of good cinema to the producers, but without a thread of meaning stringing them together, viewers might as well watch ""scripted reality.""",2
"Excellent in every respect. Not an American Hero Saves The World blockbuster but understated, well acted and full of black humour. Love it",10
A perfect movie...perfect acting by everyone. Excellent cinematography and songs are mashaallah too good,10
"""Dragon Ball: Doragon bôru"" is an iconic anime that has left an indelible mark on the world of animation. The voice acting imbues Goku and his companions with memorable personalities that resonate with fans across generations. While the film editing may not always maintain a rapid pace, it succeeds in building anticipation for the climactic battles. The music, with its unforgettable tunes, heightens the intensity of the series' epic clashes. The show's strength lies in its timeless message of perseverance, friendship, and the unending quest for self-improvement. Although the cinematography may not be groundbreaking, it effectively captures the high-energy battles and the vastness of the Dragon Ball universe. With a 7/10 rating, ""Dragon Ball: Doragon bôru"" is a beloved classic that continues to captivate audiences with its electrifying battles and enduring themes of personal growth and camaraderie.",7
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is a two-part epic fantasy film directed by David Yates, written by Steve Kloves and based on the novel of the same name by J. K. Rowling. Just saw this movie today. And I have to say this movie is definitely good, and also it entirely varies from the previous parts and it has been directed in a satisfying manner by David Yates. It is wickedly humorous, funny and dark at the same time. But the main difference from the other parts is that this movie is really slow paced. This movie is the darkest than the previous ones, because Lord Voldemort has regained his power and is deadly than ever. Harry ,Ron and Hermione are the only hope. There is no more Hogwarts in this chapter. All the three are grown up. They have to find their own way in the world to destroy the 7 horcruxes.

The best thing in this movie is that there is something better than magic, unlike other parts. That is friendship and affection.

The part-1 has laid a strong foundation for the last chapter of this epic fantasy movie series. So Just Watch it and You will love it.",8
"TPTB could have avoided a LOT of hate mail if they had interspersed Ep 4 with Ep's 1, 2 and 3....",8
"I'm not going to review the first series because it was great. It was based on the book but the end of the 1st series was where the source material stopped.

The writers of this have tried to capitalise on the characters from the 1st and it's utter bilge.

I'm here to warn others about the second season. Wow. Awful. Please don't waste your time. Don't even think of putting it on in background.

It's just a dreadful waste of money and talent.

When you think of the things that could have been done with the money that has been wasted here it's absolutely criminal.

To make matters worse one of the main characters from the 1st series is suddenly someone else in the second one with no explanation. It's very confusing.",4
If I had to be honest she'll have the best potential to be good but the Villain was really lacking. It was really hard to tell who's consider the actual villain.,8
"Boring movie with no meaning and only a few fancy special effects. Special effects were not even all that good. Just a few slow motion anti-gravity scenes. Even the Matrix would have been boring without some kind of ""meaning of life"" stuff. You need more than star power to make a good movie. I kept thinking the movie would have intriguing thought provoking idea, but it was so predictable. It turned into a real snooze. The premise of the movie is not enough to carry the entire movie. Using dreams to influence behavior is a concept that has been used many times effectively. Such as SG-1 when the Harcesus teaches Daniel that power would corrupt him through a dream. But this movie has no uplifting message.",3
"After having most shows on Nickelodeon go downhill throughout the past few years, one show has yet to do just that; Avatar: The Last Airbender. Unlike most shows on Nickelodeon, it has many different aspects and classifications that many of us enjoy. Comedy, fiction/ fantasy, action, adventure, romance, and many plot twisters that will keep you at the edge of your seat in suspense. It is amazing to me that after all this time, there has been one good show on Nickelodeon. Many people would classify Avatar under anime, but it isn't anime. It's a show based off different cultures and religions in the east that show the creators have done their homework and have earned an A triple plus because in my opinion, I give this show an awesome 10/10 with 2 thumbs way up!!! Keep watching.",10
"The lack of colour and drab, realism of this movie brought some of the more problematic themes in this movie to the forefront. Mufasa's attempt to justify why the lions have the divine right to rule over and eat their animal subjects is pure fascism.

These things were far less troubling in the more clearly fantastical setting of the original, but now it's impossible to ignore them.

Shame on everyone associated with this cash-grabbing remake.",3
"The first few episodes were exciting , but later it turns into a total crap! No twists at all",4
Am I watching something different to everyone else! This is one of those shows that is flat with no atmosphere at all.. The main character looks startled all the time and the vampire a cryptic mess and a bit meh. I'd rather watch the new Sabrina thanks.,1
"I'll be honest, I didn't expect much from a film with Sandra Bullock in. But thought I'd give it a watch because of Sarah Paulson & John Malkovich. Very pleasantly surprised - the entire cast was good (even Sandra Bullock). Great story and kept me gripped for the duration. Definitely worth a watch if you like a good post apocalyptic film!",7
"Dull formula poor storyline/plot nothing could save this lackluster film, not even special effects or fancy frocks in the sunshine, predictable plot twist. In short most of the ideas have been seen before. What a missed opportunity. I too was waiting for a decent follow up to the first detectives deduction skills. Who could not see the inevitable, and then wasted over hour watching, really should have not bothered but perhaps this wont be the last disappointent if the franchise lurched on. Third time lucky, perhaps if there is a return to a true who dunn it style and delivery. Too harsh, well watch for yourself.",1
Start is quite slow but later on movie picks up the pace really nice movie clearly shows that for a movie to be great it just needs acting,8
"Firstly, the good!

This is a well acted warm series that has very good photography which makes you feel close to the excellent characters.

The Odd!

The directing and story line however, I found odd. In the first four or five episodes we found Marianne was a very bright misfit at high school. She had almost no friends, spoke to few people and even intellectually challenged the teacher due to her intellect. Then when she went to University/College she suddenly became the 'life and sole of the party' and seemed to have lots of friends!

Back at High School, Connell was embarrassed about being her boyfriend or publicly showing affection. Really! Pretty near the hottest brightest girl in school! I don't think so.

The last five or six episodes were a painful collection of break ups and get back together's without any dialogue between them. It was screamingly frustrating and actually ruined the series for me. Why can two such apparently bright people be so bad at communicating? I understand that they're just teenagers, but even so, why couldn't they just say they really liked each other rather than 'just walking away'!.

Anyway - maybe I'm just too old :)",5
"I have seen many video game movie/tv show adaptations. Some done extremely well, and others, have completely failed. But this, is way above extremely well, and trust me when I say that. Sure this adaptation has changed many things in this movie, but you know what I say? When it comes to film, things have to change. This show is one of the best video game adaptations, actually not ""one of"". It is THE BEST video game adaptation I have seen. To all of the people who worked day and night on this movie, you did a wonderful job. This show is a work of art. The last thing I will say is that I actually didn't expect to like it this much, but either way, I knew I was going to like it. Please watch this, and I hope whoever's reading this will enjoy it too.",8
"First 5 episodes were decent. They were well made, story is well written for the most part and well acted. Suddenly they realized, they wasted too much time on bad romance scenes and now there is only one episode left. We have to explain the plot and finish the story since there would not be a season 2.

Last episode all the previously intelligent police conveniently throws their brain cells into a gutter with the bomb arc. Everyone of the masterminds in the last episodes conveniently walk into a police confessional and detail the plot in the last 20 minutes.

Surprise, everyone is at fault! It is the mob, the corrupt police, the politicians, the highly intelligent highly independent female terrorist of middle eastern descent who needs no man to make her a stooge (the actress could not even hide her laughter in the last scene from reading her lines), the deep state, the army and whole array of corrupt people in all parts of security apparatus willing to erase tapes. So everyone is at fault and the whole thing was a setup planned by such incompetent idiots (perfectly equal number of idiotic female and male villains)?

Why do they need to go to such lengths to seed so much confusion in the story telling and destroy all the suspense they built on. It should be rewritten as a comedy if they want to show only episode 6.",1
"Live action cross over between demon Ghostbuster monsters and glorified Power rangers. Shazam is nothing to get excited for, a fun and comedic movie with improved CGI but lack of seriousness and plot holes in the DCEU (where are all the superheroes????).",6
"It is a good movie, but it is not a family friendly movie like ""Chennai Express"" NOTE/DISCLAIMER: Not that people don't do this, but here are just somethings a parent must be aware of. There are following in-appropriate things: 1. Hotel Scene In Paris: Moaning and Groaning sex sounds, then discussion of the sex act in balcony, talk of ""VijayLaxmi's"" sex life. - has foul language and sexual innuendo. 2. Skimpy dress and promiscuous sexual attitude of ""VijayLaxmi"" 3. Selfie of Kangana in the dressing room, although not revealing, but the idea taking a picture in your underwear and sending it to someone else... just asking for trouble. 4. A detailed scene in Red light district in Amsterdam, showcasing the prostitutes in window. 5. Prostitute Roxette's room and encounter scene. 6. A Pole Dance song with strippers in Amsterdam sex club. 7. A detailed scene in Amsterdam sex shop, where Kangana demonstrates her innocence, by buying gifts for family( hat with boobs, vibrators for neck massage, S&M wear as a belt, etc) As I said it was a good entertaining movie but from an adult perspective, parents need to know what sort of inappropriate scenes/language is in the movie. The MPAA rating system clearly outlines adult content, but unfortunately there is little information online when it comes to Indian box office hits like ""Queen"" and ""Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela""",8
"I think the writers must have been in major hallucinogens when they wrote this. This movie is just so messed up on many many levels. The premise is good, and the inner messages are very strong How the movie was executed is so outlandish that it seems like an almost endless stream of nonsense. There aare a few funny parts but far from being anything near a solid comedy. The script is just absurd. Some of the things written are meant to be funny but certainly just come off as childish and stupid. The acting however is quite good throughout the movie. The cinematography is ok.

I certainly would not have recommended this for any awards, unless there is one for most bizarre.

There was a lot more potential that could have happened, but alas it didn't.",4
"I've grown so tired of Hollywood and its predictable plot lines and characters, and gratuitous action, romance, sex and violence.

This was a breath of fresh air, delivered with style and beauty and HEART, and some of the most engaging, thoughtful dialogue I've heard in some time. It kept me glued to the screen, and it truly made me laugh and cry out loud.

I am sorry for those who don't ""get"" it. But it's a work that everyone who contributed to this piece can be incredibly proud of.

It's definitely on my top ten list for the year, and I am genuinely shocked that it has received some low-star reviews.",9
"Sorry, I had to give it a 1 to counter the people who gave this a 10.

My wife and I went to see this movie based on ratings. It isn't really a very good anything. It had no memorable songs. It didn't have any singers to mention. Sorry, the main actors are not singers.

The drama part may have been the best where we find that following your dream takes away from REAL people and real relationships so in that way it was sad, so sad.

Calling this a comedy is wrong. Only once in the theater did I hear others laughing and that was only for a brief moment. Maybe is was the kind of people in the audience. My wife and I were talking about where is PeeWee Herman and the two guys in front of us told us to shush during where Ryan was whistling on the pier. Really? Did we take away from the whistle sound track that much guys? Don't think I missed the two times the piano was not played correctly either. However one of the grand's was nicely tuned. That may have been the best part of the movie. You got to hear the difference between a real piano and an electronic one. The real is always better as is real relationships are always better than following your own desires.",1
"Greta gerwig does better to feminism than judith butler with this brilliant piece.

Margot robbie, ryan gosling, america ferrera they all marvelous in the movie. I believe cillian murphy will get the oscar but gosling is such a good challenge with his portrayal. Also, america ferrera is a good actress but somehow she always plays similar woman portrayals, i wish she would try thriller genre, she has that aura in her. Will ferrell was too much for me, he also plays same characters for such long time.

The main message in the movie which "" a woman can do/be whatever/whoever she wants"" is crystal clear. In a much better way than twisting old fairtales to ""girlboss"" movies which does no good to strong womanhood, au contraire, being confusing for girls to be strong/leader in anytime in any circumstances. Feminism is about having uninterrupted free will whether to be a mum or a boss or both and knowing those are all equally valid like when men does exactly the same and stay men enough.",9
"Decided to watch it after it was in the news after the 'big' news! 'Tere Bin Laden' is an intelligent and a confident comedy from India.

Kudos to the well researched and meticulous script and great TIC humor! A gutsy subject and perspective without the usual India-basing-Pakistan kind of satire! I can dare say this is the birth of new genre of intelligent comedy for Bollywood. I am really fed up of senseless and extremely low IQ comedy of errors that fill up the scene usually. Atp script. Perfect length. And practical direction of out a logical script - something unknown to Bollywood till now.

My first 10/10 on IMDb.

Loved it - especially for the foresight ;)",6

"MY NAME IS KHAN is a rather long journey of a film - almost as long the journey depicted in the movie. At three hours in length it may lose some viewers, but for those who stay until the end, the message is larger than life and very important. Especially now, as the world grapples with multiple wars based on differences of beliefs under the flag of 'religion'. As written by Shibani Bathija and Nirajan Iyengar this is a tale of growing to understand and embrace tolerance on many levels. The main character, Khan, in many ways represents Everyman - a human being, imperfect in the eyes of the world because he has Asperger's Syndrome, who discovers the meaning of love and the importance of tolerance so necessary if this world is to stay intact.

We first meet Rizwan Khan, an outsider because of his variations from normal due to his Asperger's Syndrome, living with his Muslim mother Razia (Zarina Wahab) and younger brother Zakir: Zakir is gifted and at age 18 leaves Mumbai to move to San Francisco for a new beginning. When Razia dies she makes Khan promise her that he will make a good life - that there are no differences in people except good and bad. Khan (Shahrukh Khan) moves to San Francisco, coping with his disabilities as best he can, finds work with in a cosmetic firm selling lotions and potions for his brother Zakir (Jimmy Shergill). One of the reasons Khan is successful as a salesman is his utter honesty, and this trait finds an admirer in cosmetologist Mendira (Kajol) who eventually, through a courtship that is as special as any ever filmed, agrees to marry Khan. Zakir condemns the marriage (Mendira is Hindu, Khan Muslim) and will not accept the couple in his and his wife Hasina's (Sonya Jehan) home. Mendira has a young son from a former marriage and that son finds friendship that eventually betrays him: the world of the Bay Area is sick with the aftermath of 9/11 and all Muslims are suspect and disrespected. When Mendira's son is brutally beaten to death, the Hindu Mendira blames herself for marrying a Muslim Khan, and tells his to leave, that the only way she will ever see him again is after he has met with the President of the US to say 'My name is Khan, and I am not a terrorist.'

Mendira stays in her home struggling with the fact that her son's murderers cannot be found. Khan sets out to travel across the country, attempting to meet the President and deliver his message so that Mendira will take him back. His journey is an examination of human kindness - he is supported by an African American Georgia family Mama Jenny (Jennifer Echols) when he helps her son, and in turn when a hurricane destroys Mama Jenny's home, Khan returns to help her rebuild, an act that is televised and encourages many Muslims (including Zakir and Hasina) to offer help in the catastrophe. There are many other sidebar stories that occur during Khan's mission to greet the President, each an example of how important communication and equality is life we are to dwell on one planet. Yes, the ending is somewhat saccharine, but the eyes won't likely remain dry as the credits roll.

Sharukh Khan is extraordinary as Khan and the supporting cast is very strong, especially the beautiful and talented Kajol. Though there are flaws present, the overriding effect of the story diminishes them to the point of being inconsequential. This is a very beautiful film, one that do well being viewed by every one on the earth!",10
"According to the movie trivia it states Tarantino spent 5 years on the script. Five years on what? The 'script' comes across like a discarded 1st rough draft that someone's picked up and filmed, mistakenly thinking it's the finished article.

The acting is fantastic, but one can only assume these 1st class actors thought, while filming their random pointless scenes, that Tarantino would then take them and finely craft it together with sublime editing, coherence and pace. When for the most part he glued them together any old how.

I'm also shocked that Debra Tate gave her blessing to allow her sister to be filmed in such a one dimensional way. Quentin Tarantino obviously couldn't be bothered to really think about what Sharon Tate was actually like, let alone give her any lines.

Perhaps one day QT will confess this whole film is an elaborate joke at Hollywood's expense. That it was an experiment to see if it was possible to sell a 'style over substance' plot to the big movie moguls and fool them into thinking they were getting the next Citizen Kane.

My score is for the actors, the retro look & feel, some few & far between interesting scenes, and the dog.",6
"I had seen all of the great reviews & I had high expectations especially since I'm a fan of Tarantino, but I was disappointed. Sorry I just didn't get what everyone was raving about.",6
"I must be one of the only ones who didn't love this film. As with The Wolf of Wall Street, i found it rather uninvolving and dull. To get to the reason why, here are two questions: Two questions for you dear reader (and those who have seen this film). 1. What did new things you learn about slavery because of this film? My answer is quite a few things (that free people were kidnapped into slavery, how they were sold, how they lived, how they were gagged, etc.) Maybe not revolutionary things but still. 2. Describe to me what you learned about the lead character? My answer would be: he's a educated man who loves his family and can play the violin. That's it. This, to me, is the major flaw of this film. I don't know this man. What does he think? What are his doubts? Why don't we see him do anything to try to get out or how he plans to survive this ordeal? Why does he try to run away so late into his plight? Why not try again? And most important: what 'arc' did he have? How did he change because of what happened to him? Did he learn anything? Did he grow? Did he change (for better or worse)? It's a classical approach to storytelling that goes back to the old Greeks for a reason. If a character doesn't dramatically change, there is no point for the drama. I respect the film and what it tries to do. But i never got emotionally involved/invested (because of point 2) and that made it a bit boring to me and quite disappointing.",6
First off I would like to say that this cast was incredible and I think that 10 years ago this movie would have been so much better. Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino were far too old for their roles and very unconvincing if you know anything about the story. I like the thought of this cast but think that this movie would have been incredible had they cast some unknown younger actors to play these roles.,5
"The story is about a businessman dealing with the obstacles he faces before he sees the light of success. The cast is good. So is the photography. As expected, everybody acted just fine. But was there any moment worth remembering or cherish? I honestly can't remember. Are the obstacles significant than other people face? Nope. Hence, I didn't feel like it was a great decision to make the movie. With actors like Isaac, Chastain and Brooks, it had so much potentials. Without question the ability of Chandor, I would say that some factors were missing, the factor that would make the movie special, make the lead stand out. But it wasn't there.

It's forgettable just like numerous other mediocre films basted on 'true story'. You can check it out for once though. Because Oscar Isaac looks his best.",5
"I really wanted to like this because I'm a fan of Mads and Silence of the Lambs. I've watched the first season twice now. (Once when it first aired and again years later). And even though it's very well made and the cast are great, the writing is absolutely ludicrous. This is written by very stupid people that think they're smart, for very stupid people that think they're smart. And I just can't get past that... I've tried. Twice.",4
"Thin characters, confusing perspectives but great scenery.",7
"After a really ropy start this series came into its own quite well. The first couple of episodes were borderline dire, with some absolutely awful acting and a plot that felt very convoluted and rushed. Things smoothed out though and it became quite a gripping and addictive show.

Henry Cavil is one dimensional, but I'm almost positive that was the intention, and it works. Cavil and Anya Chalotra without a doubt carry the show, with the supporting cast being very forgettable, but the production design is very decent and it's overall a very good watch.

It does feel like it was in a hurry though. This first series could have done with 12 episodes instead of 8, as the first few felt like they were really rushing to set things up and get them in place for the later episodes, which felt far more measured and balanced.

I think if they get some better directors in then this could very well be an amazing show. As it is, it's entertaining, but it's no Game of Thrones - at least not yet anyway.

It does fill the gap left by GoT to a decent degree though, but I just hope they don't make the same mistakes.",7
"Beautifully made, well crafted movie. True pet lovers will understand the emotional connect between the dog and the initially reluctant pet owner. Direction is on the mark. Could have used a better background score to touch the audience hearts much deeper. Apart from that no qualms about how the bond grows and develops to the climax.",9
I dont understand form were are the good reviwes are coming. Thought to give it some chance and managed to watch the first 6 episodes. The only good think is the cgi and the robot. Really bad acting and not to forget you can not have a gun will you are lost in space in a planet you dont know. Come on now,2
I noticed most reviewers can't get the original out of their head so they're not going to be open to this version of Lost in Space. Give it a chance it's a good space drama. Lots of action great characters. Some things are changed in this Doctor Smith is a woman deceptive and very good at her job. The robot has changed but is incarnated into this form. I was a bit disappointed with the robot but it's a good series and once you watch it you'll understand why. It had a decent three-season run. Worth a spot in your DVD collection. Danger Will Robinson!,9
What a stupid movie and story. Fed up with cliches...Daniele (Katie Sarife) was horrible. It spoiled the entire series. Very bad making and acting... Climax scenes were too funny and so childish too. James Wan and Gary Dauberman you have disappointed us.,1
"Any series that's focused on kids / teens is going to be boring, even if the theme is about something more adult.

Tried to watch Ep1, but was struggling to get to the end. Overacting in the extreme, annoying characters, weak and thin plot, and it's not sci-fi, it's weak horror, mixed with stretchy violins and the good old shock events.

Not going to make it much further.

Why do writers always persist in making everything relationship oriented, it's extremely tiresome and boring!",2
"Ok well this definitely isn't an 8.8. Putting it on par with GOT which is leagues above this is silly.

Decent writing, great scenery, all the backstabbing and politicking is being set up so I can see where this might get a lot better. You can tell George RR has his hands in it which is good.

Unfortunately, the casting is just kinda meh like others have mentioned. Rhaenyra is basically just a Daenerys clone with a less cool story. The king is kind forgettable as well. So far the only character I find interesting is Daemon.

I will say you're much better off spending your time on this fantasy instead of that poor excuse Amazon put out.",7
"I like it because it was new genre , anti superhero :)",9
After finishing season 3 and finding it brilliant and gripping I was surprised to read all the negative reviews on here. Yes I did find Ani annoying but it didn't detract that much from how good the season was.,8
"After long time other than Bollywood typical drama, I watched diffrent type of movie, very good screenplay, Director tells a different type of story.",10
"Why no Russian language? It was so bloody difficult for the actors? Give me a bloody break ! If you want to do something right in a realistic way do it. Otherwise don't do it. But I forgot. Hollywood is thinking with the words business, money, time only. Who cares for the details. Just make money. Would you like a Russian film for Three Mile Island accident where all actors will speak Russian?",7
"I'm a long time marvel fan and know the franchise inside out, but this was certainly something very different. It just missed the 10/10 point due to the first few episodes being dragged on longer than necessary. Although once you sit through them, the show picks up pace and becomes very interesting. Elizabeth Olsen (Wanda maximoff) acts amazingly. Paul Bettany (Vision) and Katheryn Hahn (Agatha Harkness) gave terrific performances.",9
"It is not fully awful, reason why i rated 2 instead of one (another reason is I love the director but not as much as the two actors).

Honestly, it is the first bad movie I see featuring Emma Stone ! I loved all her performances even the very first movies...but not this one...AT ALL. She is a great actress but a poor dancer and a poor singer ! Too bad she is even surpassed on the subject by Ryan, that I also truly love (not much to through away in his career). Mel Gibson did an incredible job in ""What Women Want"" dancing with a hat in his apartment...all people loving Ryan's dancing should immediately watch that memorable scene with Mel.

Overall, I agree with the 1, 2 or 3 stars ratings...it is a HUGE disappointment ! But check it for yourself because you never know you might enjoy it (my daughter loved it...and she is a great person with clear judgment).",2
"Watched URI movie with family on Friday night. Highlights :

1) Action packed edge of the seat thriller, at par with Hollywood hits

2) Truly shows how Indian army & their families live and die for the nation day in and day out

3) Shows how Army, Air force, DRDO, ISRO and central government coordinate in a war like situation

4) Realistic stuff with absolutely no love story or romance

5) Increased my respect for the Indian army

6) Made my 10 year daugher aware of terms like PoK, LoC

I would recommend that you watch this movie in the theater with parents and kids alike. Children above 10 years age should not have any problem watching the action scenes.

Bollywood has matured... finally !",10
"First of all, if you say this is a good movie you know nothing about cinema and much less about the horror genre. Period! This was embarrassing and I felt embarrassed by being in middle of the theatre. How is it possible that we still allow crap like this to be successful?! After years and years of cliches and predictability in the horror category there are still movies like this filled with stupid jumpscares, suspense that goes nowhere, empty dialogues etc etc and still have big budgets in order to create crap! That's what makes me mad, millions of profit for garbage! Everything was predictable except the ending because I could not believe it was going to be finished in such a mediocre way! I did not want to believe it was going to be so insulting! And those ridiculous zoomings???? This was begging to be bad...3,50 euros is cheap but even if it was a few cents I would still feel robbed. I realized it was a mistake as soon as I walked in the room and saw it packed with teens. This is what we have today: cheap stinkin' movies, songs and products to please a generation that is not demanding and do not ask for quality. A mediocre mass of ""regulars"" who blindly follow anything they are told to. I will NEVER go see any other Annabelle or any other spin-off movie! This was disgusting and the fact that people appreciate drivel makes me sad...",2
"The wizarding world returns with the sequel to the spinoff based off a textbook for the 8-film long series based on a 7-book long best-selling franchise. Is there still life in this universe? Or is it time to leave Hogwarts and the magic behind for good?

Our returning guide into this world is Eddie Redmayne's forever charming Newt Scamander who is on the hunt for Johnny Depp's Grindelwald. There is a mix of new and returning characters such as Ezra Miller's Credence, Katharine Waterson's Tina Goldstein and Jude Law's younger Dumbledore. Matched with fantastic and ingenious visual effects this a-list cast gives life to this ever-expanding world.

However, this film has a flaw, and it is the writing. JK Rowling wrote the script for this film and it is a messy, convoluted and overstuffed story that has a few too many plot-twists which, according to many ""Potterheads"", contradicts the lore. There is a good story in the film somewhere, or more accurately, there are about three good stories piled into it. The problem is there are too many characters with their own arcs that the film keeps harshly cutting to. As a result, you will see one character move forward in their story, then not see them again for another half an hour, meaning it is very difficult to keep track of any of the plotlines playing out. Furthermore, the ending sets up the next film and encourages a far more interesting film, which, in my opinion, is the one Rowling wanted to write. Unfortunately, she had to write this mess to get the characters into the correct place.

However, the film does have positives in the form of the effects and acting. Whilst there are not as many Beasts as the title implies, the visuals are still wildly creative, especially any scene involving France's version of Diagon Alley. Plus, thankfully, the magic battles have evolved beyond the wizards pointing at each other as hard as they can and turned into wizards being more imaginative with their spells and thus provides a visual treat. Furthermore, the majority of the cast play beautifully nuanced versions of witches and wizards, although I am not sold on Jude Law's Dumbledore.

I confess, I am not a huge Harry Potter fan, I have read all the books and seen all the films, but its universe has not captured me as much as others. Despite this, I have enjoyed the majority of the franchise, including the first Fantastic Beasts, however this film was a disappointment for me. Ultimately, the film is a set up for another sequel, and whilst it introduces interesting plot lines, it takes way too long to get there and wastes too many opportunities. For example, I am not normally a fan of an obligatory love interest, however a character is introduced and is perfect for Newt but is completely side-lined in favour of someone else who has about as much chemistry with our lead as a brick wall.

Fundamentally, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald acts like a crime epic but fails to realise that's not its purpose. Despite strong acting, spot on visuals and a beloved established universe, Fantastic Beasts unfortunately is not the chosen one and will more likely be the film that must not be named.",3
"I just finished Season four last night and may I say I was so pleasantly surprised that the last season has been the absolute best. The new aspect of retro horror and gore is way notched up. The acting was phenomenal and the ending had an amazing twist. The camera work was very good, and overall I was fully intrigued the whole time. I will say I'm surprised it slipped past with a tv-14 rating as the last 2 episodes were quite gory and there was a lot of language. But I would definitely recommend it. Fantastic last season.",9
"I knew who it was at he first moment I saw that character. The setup, the humor, everything is quite unique. I did not like Daniel Craig's accent though. I found it so artificial and annoying. They could've made it less obvious. The climax was good. So you will feel good about the movie. But as I am typing this, I like it less. Worth watching though.",6
Cast performance are all over good... Direction is average... Bgm and action sequence is really good... But the carnage is less I expected more but I got disappointed about the short and sweet story.,7
"Not much to say really. Rather boring in general and containing lots of plot inconsistencies. I think the most disappointing thing is the magic or lack thereof I should say. Specifically when it comes to combat at least. I like all the trinkets and some of the spells are quite interesting but when it comes to fighting it's as plain as Hovis white bread. This is a magical world with limitless potential (to a degree) and there isn't a whole lot of creativity at all. It's basically as if they're all firing little magical crackers that knock people out. The worst offender was that chase scene through the forest, which was almost made me sick with its horrific camera shaking and random crackers being launch at trees. The deathly hallows items felt very tacked on but I assume that will be explored further in part 2.

The acting was not that great. Most of the cast was bordering on cheesy/bad, only some of the adults were more passable. The style might have fit better earlier on when it was more school time fun but this is becoming too serious for it to work. For me, the worst offence was how the mysteries were being unravelled without any work. There was a trend of cutting to a new location and having Hermione or Harry very conveniently happen upon a new clue that was sort of explained by some magical reasoning if we were given anything at all.

Overall can't say I hated it but I did start checking Reddit so you could say I was underwhelmed. I've heard Part 2 is much better so I'm hoping for quite the turnaround.",4
Very hard to like this show. Very slow & bad acting,7

"Why do filmmakers always characters that stupid? That woman behaved like she'll have no training at all. Breathe like crazy for nothing even though a 5 year old would figured out that you shouldn't breathe fast in a situation where oxygen can take over. Do this movie makers have a lack of imagination? Do you know how annoying that is for some viewers to see that kind of idiotic unrealistic behaviors? And all that panic attacks. A astronaut is trained to handle such situations for a long time before going to space.

Even ""Homer Simpson"" behave better then this....

Maybe this video is for audiences with low intelligence who do not understand such things....",1
"Having seen this movie many years ago I sat to re-engage and watched again. I cannot understand the hype about this movie. I think that people hear that its the best movie made then automatically accept this opinion and convince themselves it is. The scene with the horses head was ridiculous really. Acting by Brando was at best mediocre and James Caan is useless . I don't even reckon FFC as a director either, especially after Gangs Of New York. If this was made in present day it would probably flop. The 2 sequels got worse and the supporting characters never seemed to fit in.I would imagine the book is a million times better. The only redeeming feature for me was seeing Al Pacino honing his acting skills he used so brilliantly used in the later Serpico and Scarface. Sorry but this never gripped me at all.Am I right in thinking Brando changed his looks,size and accent many times during this?",4
"Ultimately this movie failed in making me believe all the magic and special effects were real. I was constantly aware I was watching special effects, especially with the animals.",2
"Dave (Bateman) and Mitch (Reynolds) envy each other's lives. To Mitch, Dave leads a successful and contented life, working at a prestigious law firm and surrounded by a loving family. To Dave, Mitch is living the dream: a stress and commitment-free joyride full of drugs, booze, and strange new women. After the childhood friends reunite at a bar, they decide to pee into a fountain while simultaneously wishing for the other's life. Naturally, the act causes them to magically switch bodies the next morning. It then becomes a race against time to find the same fountain and reverse the effects before their respective lives are ruined for good. However, as the hunt continues, Dave and Mitch discover that even though the other's life is not as dreamy as they had initially imagined, seeing things from a new perspective reveals what they had overlooked in their own.

So after a drunken night, a couple of men wake up to a disaster and ""proceed to freak the ---- out"". Sound familiar? Yes, The Change-up features the same writers as from The Hangover, and like its spiritual predecessor, gleefully abuses its right to a hard R-rating. The movie jumps at every chance to spew out foul language and full frontal nudity. But around every corner comes the awful toilet humor. (Literally.) Without fail each joke is followed up by a string of curse words or disgusting crude humor. Clearly, The Change-Up relies heavily on shock value to produce some cheap laughs, but this is to be expected of The Hangover's creative minds. Unfortunately, what worked for The Hangover does not always work here. This kind of humor fit The Hangover perfectly simply because the movie had a persisting theme of ridiculousness and never took itself too seriously. On the other hand, in its latter half The Change-Up tends to lean toward its dramatic side and realizes too late that crude jokes have begun to feel out of place.

Even so, none of the comedic parts of this film would fly without the talent of its lead actors. The weight of the movie relies on Reynolds and Bateman's ability to portray ""each other"", and without drawing attention to the fact; they deliver quite nicely. The personality swap between professional lawyer and immature jock is seamless and remains successfully low-key for the duration of the film. Since the switched personalities represent the most interesting parts, though, the movie lags immensely in the beginning and end. Olivia Wilde and Leslie Mann are fine playing the tempting secretary/wife, but regrettably do not serve much more of a purpose in the movie after their clothes come off.

The Change-Up is a raunchy comedy that follows in the footsteps of the more worthy 'The Hangover'. Complete with wildly annoying infants, incidents involving diarrhea, and adventures in the 'lorn' industry, it is a shock-and-show roller-coaster. Entertaining, perhaps… but just be aware of what you're walking in to. 6/10",4
"An absolutely brilliant cast, combined with an interesting conspiracy plotline that unfolds and gets more complex throughout the film. I loved the use of Burt as an offscreen narrator, it felt like a breath of fresh air in contrast with the very literal, direct delivery of most films I've seen recently coming out in cinemas. The storytelling was a little hard to follow in places, but it was well worth it to see everything come together in the end. Full of absolutely brilliant and surprising plot twists. I would absolutely recommend this film, especially seeing as it was based in part on true events.",9
"If you ask me - I think that Taxi Driver is one of those truly puzzling films that has been seriously over-rated (way-way-way out of proportion). It really has.

With me giving Taxi Driver 5 stars, I think that I am actually being quite generous with that rating - 'Cause, at best, this film was an average production that seemed to contain an almost endless stream of filler-scenes where absolutely nothing of any interest ever happens.

Now 40 years old, Taxi Driver (which contained some of the most inane dialogue and preposterous situations imaginable) certainly doesn't hold up very well today.

And fresh-faced actor, Robert De Niro, as the psychotic vigilante, Travis Bickle (and his double-talking, dime-store philosophy) was pretty dull stuff, for the most part.

And, speaking about Taxi Driver's climatic final showdown - I actually burst out laughing as I watched how badly this sequence was staged. And the over-dramatization of the violence, after the fact, was one of the worst examples of bad directing that I've seen in a mighty long time.

All-in-all - This highly-praised picture barely managed to rise above mediocrity on only a few occasions.

P.S. - If you want to see a real stand-out performance worthy of a ""Razzie"", check out Cybill Shepherd, as Betsy, the airhead political organizer.",5
"Season 1 was really good from a day that was repeating itself by dying to the trash season 2 of time travel.

This is the best movie i have ever seen.Salute to Indian Army🙌,10
"Not as well script as the earlier version. Probably the Just Garland was the best, then the Janet Gaynor version. Very shallow in story too much sensationalism.",4
Without touching on the story of the film in detail I found it to be a bit forced and lacking in depth. The film tries too hard to be funny in my opinion. Not always in vain as it does have some laugh out loud moments but it comes across cheesier than the first film. Post credit scene bumps it up a couple stars so don't miss it!,7
"Por Thozhil- Cliff edge and fast paced crime investigative thriller. It pounds back heart at rapid pace with depth in the story and crisp editing. Hats off to the amazing Director Vignesh Raja who raises the bar on how to take quality movies, keeping audience at the edge with every moment and make it realistic. No songs, no masala and no unnecessary scenes. Dialogues are to the point and screenplay is super sleek. Sharath Kumar is apt to the role with serious acting. Ashok Selvan does the job well. Antagonist gives shivers down the spine. Background music is top notch and gels really well with the story. One of the best Tamil thrillers and even surpasses Ratsasan. Watch it only in theatre as it's totally worth it!",9
I was excited to see this because I love Michelle Yeoh. I am a huge fan of scifi but this didn't make the cut. It all felt ridiculous. I understand it was portraying the storyline of life. Existence can be mundane and relationships are generally difficult. This presentation felt too muddled and sometimes outright over the top. I am surprised it won so many Oscars. Perhaps the Academy appreciated the presentation of the storyline with all the multiple options of the same actors in so many different situations. It was not enjoyable for us. I would not recommend this film and am glad I waited for the free version on Amazon Prime.,2
"When I first saw this film, I connected with Bill Murray's character, which isn't a good thing. The main characters are disenchanted with life, and watching their boredom made me feel even worse about my own boredom. Having lived in Japan, half of the people who learn about my travels ask me if I've seen this film. It is a popular film to like among philosophers and travelers alike, going against the mainstream Hollywood bang. Many of my favorite films are far more depressing than Lost in Translation, but Lost just seemed to be lacking a real message. The film has great cinematography and the characters certainly have their moments, but unless you are a huge fan of realism, this film may leave you feeling empty, one scene after another.",6
Loved the ending. Hiddleston at his best and Sophia did a wonderful job as Sylvie. I liked how they connect its story with the previous and especially the upcoming movies.,8
"I like this film!

I have watched it several times now and still not getting bored. Each view presents different perspective of the movie. Tom Hanks' acting is brilliant, it is not easy to act as a mentally-challenged person yet he did it fantastically.

A big part of the movie tries present the cultural history of the US, and this might be hard to pull off yet the film is able to go to even 'Nam. But for me, there is an underlying dark undertone somewhere in the relationship between Forrest and the other characters, but Zemeckis' portrayal of Forrest's personality brilliantly covers it up.

A movie I would recommend to everyone old enough to watch.",7
"This is one of my new favorites, my only complaint? Not enough episodes. This is a well written show that has that major motion picture feel to it with every episode. The cast is phenomenal and very good in their roles. The story line is great, taking you in a direction that is unusual for this type of show. I can't wait for season two, if this is not renewed, (hopefully with more episodes) I would be disappointed for sure. I try not to give anything away for those of you that may not have watched it yet. If you did miss it, use the on demand service, you won't be disappointed.",9
"Show reflects upon the slow, simple lifestyle of rural India. All characters have done very realistic acting.

The grass is always greener on the other side, the protagonists also feels the same with him yearning to work in an MNC and leave the job he has in the village.

It is his daily struggles in the village that makes up the whole series.

If you are already living this liefstyle and are from rural India it wont attract you that much but for people in urban India or for NRIs this show is gold.",7
"By having a oneline as revenge this story built really great. The performance of each and every actors was really good and also everyone performed naturally especially Nawaz. The screenplay of this film was extraordinary because though this film runs nearly five hours by combining two parts, it didn't bored me at any portions. The music and background score was good. This movie was very natural and raw. One of the good movies from Bollywood.",9
I don't see why everyone is so hyped up about this movie.,1
"Not a bad movie, but kind of boring. I would rate this about a 6.3. Midway was much better, even though it has a lower rating. How this movie has an 8.7 is beyond my imagination. Again, nothing wrong with it, just kind of boring.",6
"Well, I enjoyed first Captain America movie, but that was kinda boring, because of Nazi stuff and WW2. The stuff we already had known and fed up with. On the other had, Captain America 2 is all about future! In the movie, The SHIELD and Agent Natasha is also added. There is some information and characters from first Captain America, that makes movies more enjoyable to watch. Before you watch this movie, I suggest you to watch Captain America 1, for obvious reasons, and Also to watch Avengers 1 to learn a little about Natasha and SHIELD. It was amazing to watch. And if you enjoy superhero movies you will love this. To be honest, I found it better than few other marvel movies. There was handful number of surprises and some great action. Captain Rogers fights much better in this movie. If you remember in first movie there was more gun stuff and less fist fight. However here we got both of them in brilliant ratio. I gave it 8/10, because it is hard to impress me sometimes and I saw better movies like BATMAN TRILOGY. But all in all it was BRILLIANT movie.",8
"This film only deserves a brief summation:

Wooden acting, juvenile script and dialog, archaic cultural stereotyping, uninteresting central characters who undergo no fundamental changes, plot less, and just plain boring.

This could be the single most over-rated movie in the history of cinema.

The only positive aspect was the cinematography. Tokyo was gorgeously shot.

I am a big fan of Bill Murray, but this was an incredible disappointment.

I actually found this film painful to sit through. I only saw it on video, but watched it twice because I thought I had just missed something.

Nope.",1
"PHILADELPHIA (B) is notorious for being the first major film from Hollywood to at least feature a story about HIV. It's also notorious for being a polarizing film, a perfect introductory vehicle aimed at bringing middle America to empathy and understanding for its supporters and a watered down, sanitized, and fraudulent Hollywood-ized version of homosexuality to its critics. I think both sides have a point and the truth about the film lay somewhere in the middle. It is true that this film has been written and filmed with the intention of bringing the AIDS issue to the general populace. To this end, Tom Hanks (riding a huge wave in popularity) took the lead role of Andrew Beckett who is wrongfully fired from his law firm after the homophobic senior partners learn that he is suffering from HIV and is a homosexual. Without anywhere to turn and after initially rejecting him, Denzel Washington's lawyer Joe Miller takes on Andy's case. It's a smart way to get a potential audience to listen, rather than make a film directly about HIV - which was highly controversial - the film is about Becket being unlawfully fired and discriminated against, an injustice we can all rally around. While we can be unified around that issue, the film can introduce Beckett as a human being suffering with a horrible disease who is surrounded by loved ones. On the courtroom sequences and seeing the evolution of Washington's Joe Miller come to see Becket more as a human being I think the movie is a real success. It's very well acted and Jonathan Demme is an impeccable director. It's in the ""domestic"" side of the story that I think the film's critics have a point - Andrew Beckett isn't a person, he's a screenwriting saint surrounded by the perfect understanding family whose slow death feels more timed to the plot's mechanics than a genuine human story. There's very little background to his life, we barely know him, and what we do feels fine-tuned to be as blandly appealing as possible. This isn't a fatal issue to me and it would be hard to not be human and be moved by the final moments of this film. In as much as this film inspires tolerance and a basic understanding I think it has done at least a good job of it. Unfortunately, do to key choices the film makes to remain accessible and mainstream, the extent of that understanding is limited.",6
I don't have words to review this. This whole movie is just same thing as animated film but with modern technology and with lack of emotions or something. And it's empty too. The 1994 movie waaay to better than this to be even compared. 2 hours waste of time.,3
"Enjoyed watching the whole series which had a decent ending, by the way. Great mix of characters played by an excellent cast. I must say I wasn't a big fan of them talking to the camera because it didn't make sense and took away the ""illusion"". They had an excuse in The Office, what was the pretext here? Nonetheless, some of those takes were actually funny, And I did laugh out loud in some of the episodes. Sofia Vergara was great and a pleasure to watch. Overall, fun show to take the mind off things.",7
"i cant believe how overrated this film is! its been done so many times before. dark city, matrix, the cell even nightmare on elm street (going in to grab freddy, and being awoke by a friend, alarm clock or candle), which are all better. i cant see anything original at all about this script and can imagine there will be lots of forums discussing the confusing story line. if you want this sort of deep film your better off with 12 monkeys or vanilla sky. i feel as if I've wasted two and a half hours of my life and 15 pounds out of my pocket. very very disappointed. everything leonardo di caprio does always seems to get lots of praise, but can only think of a handful of good films he has done.",3
"I appreciate Nolan, all in all he made great films, but ""Interstellar"" and ""Avatar"" were kind of fakes, small stories with old ideas that are very common in science fiction literature and sf movies for decades, wrapped nicely in cg and dramatic music, creating a feeling of enlightenment in any idiot who never read a book or knows not what real imagination is. I never thought of Matthew McConaughey as a real actor, but in this film he does a wonderful job, no one can play the idiotic role of the genius farmer as he does, dramatically suffering just as Nolan directed him, any other actor would have burst in a crazed laughter at the idiotic script, but Matthew, a ""thinking actor"" did exactly what was expected from him. must respect him for that. few words about the music, there were all the right notes and volume to make this flick seem like a ""serious"" one. but the music itself was created on a very cheap emotional theme. Feels like the budget for this movie was about 10 million $, i cannot see any extra dollar that was spent as giving any result.",4
"Netflix's re-distribution of this package deserves some critical-thinking - if only to balance the uncritical. Despite most BBC stuff needing a health warning the production, filming and writing are pretty decent. If you could only take a pair of scissors to those cringeworthy BBC soundbites Bodyguard'd gain a good critical score. (Rob Stark) Richard Madden here plays a ""Sean Connery without the quips"", taciturn, emotionless, good-cop character. His ability not to flinch even after shocking events gets to be daunting, as does his ability to hear normally after an ear-drum destruction event. You could continue to drill holes in so many other very ridiculous and stupidly constructed scenarios of Bodyguard. As a very violent but not at all original TV Series it does what it says on the BBC Tin - entertaining, springing surprise upon brutal surprise & appealing to an audience the BBC ""supposes"" to be ""out there"", though (since their finances are safe) nobody at Beeb HQ really needs to know.",5
"The visuals were great, the music was great and there was some good humour. I like a lot of the previous marvel films. In this movie, I was confused in almost every scene. I felt that the characters' capabilities seemed different from what I saw in earlier movies and, a lot of the time, their actions/choices were bizarre and unfounded. I was often thinking ""Why did...?"" ""and How on earth did...?"" ""Whaaat?"" Having so much of this confusion in the fast-paced, action-packed movie ruined it for me :( I wish it happened otherwise...",4
"The majority of accurate reviews say 3 stars out of 10, and are generally low reviews, but IMDb claims this is 7+ stars, which is total BS, and this happens on almost every series I think is bad. IMDb has high ratings for everything that blows.

In short, lazy writers, bad writers, or even worse this show is aimed at children. One of those three, makes this show terrible, and IMDb seems to be covering it all up with inaccurate rating statistics. If they aren't covering it all up, they need to have a more accurate rating system that shows the ratings of people who ACTUALLY WROTE A REVIEW, and not just everyone who clicked a ----ing button.",3
"Every Human being on the earth has different shades/dimensions within themselves. Good, bad, sensitive, insensitive, fear, bravery, jealousy, courtesy, and the list is endless. Unfortunately, majority of the movies we see portray the characters as having only one dimension. And typically Indian Cinema is narrower in this aspect. From Indian cinema perspective there are only ""good"" and ""bad"" characters. Anurag Kashyap, is one of the handful directors, who stick to the fact that, there is nothing like good and bad. It is all about CHARACTERS!!!and each character WILL have multiple dimensions within himself/herself.

KUDOS to the amazingly talented path-breaking director of Indian Cinema, Mr. Anurag Kashyap for giving such an epic movie called ""Gangs of Wasseypur"". Watching this movie is a bliss for a cinema lover. No wonder, it was hugely appreciated at the Cannes Film Festival.

GOW is an end-product of a the most impressive story-telling, dialogs, characterizations, background music,casting and all other crafts in film-making!! Every character and the scene is written so wonderfully that, you are glued to the seat throughout the 160 minutes, forget the whole world, and feel as if you are there in the movie and seeing the characters live in front of you.

Of course, it is not for the weak-hearted, as it has brutal violence, which is essential to get the right impact of the severity of the events. There are umpteen number of characters in the movie, and each of them have performed first-rate. They are not glamorous, they appear real. Not just that, the emotions the characters portray, are real, including the abusive language. (yes, indeed they are used in real life). Though the movie, has a native backdrop(Bihar), the theme is universal- REVENGE.

What I liked: (I liked every part of the movie, but would like to mention some extra-extra-ordinary things)

Manoj Bajpayee's screen presence, is FABULOUS!!

Straight-forward, Bihar-accent-ed powerful dialogs (I felt that aha, I wish I was a Bihari for these 3 hours, to enjoy the dialogs more heart-fully)

Timing of the songs and background music and the variation of these music pieces, elevate the movie to the next level.

What I did not like: Nothing!!

Summary: DO NOT MISS!!!

Note: The movie ends at a critical point, and also lays the foundation for the sequel- ""Gangs of Wasseypur-2"", which will hit the screens soon, and I just cant wait to watch that. As per my assumption, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, will be having a major role in the sequence. Nawazuddin, is one of the finest actors, we have. (Recently, you watched him in New York,Kahaani and Paan Singh Tomar. FYI, he will also be playing a major role in Aaamir Khan's Talaash.)",10
"Awful!!!

2hrs and 20 minutes of Hollywood just showing off and printing money off us suckers who paid our hard-earned money to watch this garbage. Entertainment - sure. If you are born in the 50s and 60s maybe you will like the time-peice Just stupid. Pieced together. Scenes that have nothing to do with each other. Scenes that are way too long for no reason. So many scenes are filler.",2
"This film was one of those early comedies of the 21st century, that helped to contribute to what the style of a good, modern day comedy in film, looks like. What comedy is like in films today doesn't represent the smart edge, that comedy had for 50 years previously. What is missing today is the smart comedy, expressing strategically placed shots at politics, cultural inadequacies, light hearted human frailties or just being silly. This could be done with physical comedy or well crafted jokes, that a comedian would write. It seems like the comedies of today just rely on cheap sexual jokes or potty humor just to get easy laughs. However, there are also good sex-comedies, that are funny while they make fun of relationship woes and the sex itself. This is one of those 21st century, comedy films that rises above the cheap jokes and actually tells a humorous story about the pains of relationships, as well as, loss and gain, but in a hilarious fashion.

The film revolves around the break-up ramifications of a TV music composer, Peter Bretter (Jason Segel), who ends up taking his break-up vacation at the same tropical island, that his ex-girlfriend, actress and TV personality Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell) and her new boyfriend, entertainment personality, Aldous Snow (Russell Brand), are now venturing at. Add in Mila Kunis, as the abnormally helpful hotel desk clerk and you have a mixture of great jokes, clever dialogue and satirical sex scenes in an entertaining comedy. It also helps that an excellent, supporting cast, consisting of names like Jonah Hill, Bill Hader and the great Paul Rudd, keep the laughs coming. This film was written by Segel and has the creative backing of the great Judd Apatow. It is a smart comedy that utilizes the comedy moods of the 21st century well.

8.1 (B MyGrade) = 8 IMDB.",8
This movie further establish that these kinds of movies are more or less the same. There's a bad guy with a plan to destroy the world and there's the overly dramatic good guys who wants to stop it from happening and then there's a long tedious battle with cars getting blown off and buildings getting torn apart.,4
"People watched breaking bad season 1 & 2, and they hated it .. breaking bad wasn't so much famous with these two seasons. but then they watched 3 & 4 & 5 and it simply was the best tv show in the world. and also when they came back and watched 1 & 2 the understood and they loved it. this is how wandavision works. don't judge the whole show based on the first two episodes. patience, the next is gonna impress you. and when you watch the first after that you will understand.",9

will be remembrance n her performance was way too good as a débutante n she really deserve an best débutante award of the year. Deepika was drop dead hot beautiful, i just loved her character Veronica, she has done a fantabulous job once again n had proved that she can act despite her criticism for her earlier movies, her intro was BIG WOW, Saif in this movie was a full on comic, his sense of humor was top notch but sometime i felt it was over a top, and he seems to old to be cast in this movie but still i enjoy his every scene. The actors,costume designer,music directer, cinematography deserve a standing ovation, they have done a wonderful job, Homi Adajani has become my top 10 director on my list. THANX FOR A GOOD FILM",8
"Ok so this show is on I creative and has major eye candy(Henry Cavill MY GOD). But the first season was all over the place as far as story goes. And I'm sorry but so much unnecessary nudity. Like by then end of that season Yennifer's boobs were burned in all our brains. So I was hesitant after almost two years in between seasons, to start the second one. But boy am I glad I did. My husband and I binged this in two days. The story was wonderful and so much better than the first. And this season seemed to be more story focused instead of set up/sex scenes. It was refreshing and now makes me excited for season 3. Also I bet the actress who plays Yennifer was excited to not have to be naked in every episode. If you liked season one then go for it. You will not he disappointed.",6
"A famous line in the infamously dull GODFATHER PART III had Al Pacino shouting that no matter how he tries to get out, they keep pulling him back in...

Well the opposite occurs in A MOST VIOLENT YEAR where real criminals are shoving a relatively honest bootlegger, with one week to purchase an important piece of land, out of business...

From his trucks being robbed to armed goons breaking into his mansion, Oscar Isaac's Abel Morales is a man with a master plan who won't let anything get in his way...

With a solid helmet of dark slightly-graying hair, piercing eyes and an overall steely countenance, Issac has all the makings of an old school movie gangster the likes of Pacino, Robert DeNiro and the guy he somewhat resembles a leading man version of, Chazz Palminteri...

Unfortunately the film, a two-hour collection of backroom meetings, conversations and confrontations, makes this potentially solid character less relevant and meaningful to the mob genre than even Andy Garcia in... the aforementioned third GODFATHER...

Like any subtle crime melodrama that spends more time ticking than exploding, providing businesslike realism over pulpy gun play, the suspense is based on each word spoken:..

And Abel stands behind everything he says -- in an otherwise good performance despite the limitations. Meanwhile his wife Anna, played by Jessica Chastain, remains on the sidelines despite having her own form of wily strength and edgy wisdom...

What a team they could have made... But nothing really comes of their actions except random reactions, and with two truck robberies, a road chase and a beating aside, if this were A MOST VIOLENT YEAR, we missed most of it.",4
"Venom truly is a dumb movie , it's own logic is unsound , actors are painfully miscast and its action is forced . It is entirely a what you see in the trailer is what you get scenario. If you like what you see in the trailer by all means go see it , it might entertain you . but if you , like me , were appalled by the trailers bad dialogue, sloppy CGI and baffled by Tom Hardy's choice in acting you wont be shocked when things play out in predictable fashion . As for all the ""reviewers"" giving perfect scores trying to get a bad movie hyped up , you have to understand this is why we can't have nice things . Please understand that by giving the movie a perfect score you are saying that this is your favorite movie ... and I truly hope that isn't the case . You are missing out on a giant portion of american cinema and dumbing down our culture and future movies.",4

"A small step for man.... Lame filming, lame storytelling, lame acting, lame everything... I had to force myself through this one.... quit 2 times and picked up again to give it anther shot.... There are no twists, no laughs, 1 time i had a good giggle... who pays for this... such great material and good foundation and the execution of this is standard to a an extend that makes me fall asleep.... some innovative camera moves? no, so good punchlines, no, anything interesting besides a quite cool alien robot, no....

who ever gave his approval that this is presentable product, must have really had a 5-10 year old audience in mind... but then why there is a menacing psychopath in the show... anyway watch it if you have enough snacks... you will need to eat a lot to keep you going through this lame piece....",3
"Hate it when you have high hopes for a movie but it turns out to be a dud. The story is strange, the script is awful and the director needs to get off the drugs. Movies are just not what they used to be unless they have a superhero.",2
"The Boys was not just a good show, it was revolutionary to the superhero genre. One of the elements that contributed to this achievement was, without a doubt, its usage of violence. It was creative, realistic and over the top (sex scenes in season 3, I liked it!!). Together with the fascinating story and the loveable characters The Boys conquered the superhero genre.

After watching the first episode of this spin-of I am hooked.

First things first, yes there is wokeness in it and I really despise it, but it is limited to a small side element and did not ruined the first episode for me. It also satirises wokeness a bit, so I think they found the balance.

The plot is written by someone understanding his profession, which is not common anymore, since Disney bombarded us with garbage writing for the last years and recently hit rock bottom of rock bottom with Ahsoka.

The characters are 3-dimensional, so you understand their motives, their feelings and you are invested in them. The dialogue is not that cheesy, teenager slang. It is normal, well written dialogue.

Visually it is great, Amazon puts a lot of money in their shows and most of the times you can see that.

If you compare this show to the Continental, also a spin-of of a beloved franchise (John Wick) it is clear, that Gen V made a far better job than Continental, which was boring and lackluster of John Wick like action scenes.

Gen V beholds the identity of The Boys, featuring the same bloody violence we all love, and therefore is definitely worth a watch for the fans.",5
"First I don't recommend you watch this right before bed. It's 2 almost straight hours of characters screaming at each other. As I got to the halfway point I felt my heart racing, my teeth grinding and I found myself pacing around.

This film performs at 100 mph for the entire duration. It's not 2 hours of action, it's just 2 hours of mindless bickering and talking over each other. From the first 5 minutes I just wanted it to be over. It took me over an hour to wind down and fall asleep after it was over. Never in the history of watching movies, has anything evoked such a physical and uncomfortable response as this movie.

People said there was no story line, there was. And had it been delivered with a bit a better execution and some breaks it could have been watchable.",2
"This isn't right!

You can't picture my country, country's military, elite forces and police in such a way! We aren't a damn terrorist country.

Who are you to tell the world that our country's law enforcement agencies are run by so called drug lords?! How can you imagine that such children carry arms in our streets!

Bangladesh is just full of peace loving country and our boys are here keep light shining day & nights. They are not run by such terrorists!

"Other than Heath Ledger's magnificent, brooding and evil Joker, I am stunned by the rating here on IMDb. I found The Dark Knight noisy, overlong and annoying. Joker demands that Batman reveal his real identity or someone will die every day at random. A newly appointed district attorney claims to be Batman. He is abducted and placed in a building with explosives. Dent's face is badly burned in an explosion, but he survives.

More bombs go off followed by chases on motorcycle and confrontation with the Joker, mobsters and various other villains.

I completely lost interest in this endless, two and a half plus hour fiasco. Christopher Nolan needs serious counseling and to learn that some things need to be left out. Rest in peace, Mr. Ledger, it wasn't your fault.",6
"Antoine Fuqua's Southpaw is really well made, has a great cast, rugged in - the - ring action, but a storyline that is too formulaic for its own good.

Jake Gyllenhaal gives a compellingly real performance as Billy ""The Great"" Hope, who begins the movie as the undisputed light-heavyweight boxing champion of the world, before his personal world, slides out from underneath him. Good as he undoubtedly is, Gyllenhaal still can't stop himself channelling Sylvester Stallone's Rocky persona, especially in the way he moves and delivers much of his dialogue in mumbles. During one particularly emotional moment, I wouldn't have been surprised to hear a wailed A-d-r-i-a-n shouted skywards, except here Hope's wife is Maureen, played by a strong Rachel McAdams, in what really could never be honestly described as a lead role.

The Rocky parallels continue further with Forest Whitaker playing a larger, black version of Mickey, Rocky's trainer. Where Southpaw does differ from the earlier franchise is that the narrative is almost relentlessly downbeat, remembering that this is 2+ hour film. Things do get pretty bleak for a large portion of the movie, though the underlying theme of the movie is one man's personal redemption (as if that hasn't been done before too ... and in boxing films).

Southpaw's derivative conventions preclude it from achieving any real pretence to greatness, though undoubtedly many fans of the genre will happily go the distance, barracking supportively for The Great Hope.",6
"Jason Seagull carries this film well. It has the right amount of framed needed to work. In an attempt to move on from his unexpected breakup our lead vacations at a resort... where his ex and new boo are. Helping him get over it is an employee (Mila Kunis). As you can guess, hijitos ensure.

As mentioned before, the movie has a good blend of dramedy. The comedy's done pretty well, mainly due to the timing and set-up of the jokes. The characters also work well off each other. The main character's friend's over the top yet it's completely understandable given the things he does.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall is one of those comedies that you can watch over and over again. That's how well it was done. With that being said, give it a watch. I recommend it.",8
"I am surprised at the praise this movie gets. The characters are all one dimensional. The lawyers at Tom Hanks' firm are all evil bigots, Tom Hanks plays the most brilliant and kind lawyer in the world, his gay friends are kind and supportive, every member of his family is kind and loving and supportive. Denzel Washington starts out as a bigot but is cured by the wonderfulness of Tom Hanks and friends. I could not buy any of these characters as real life people. They were all caricatures.

The movie was totally predictable. A wonderful beloved man man with AIDS sues the evil lawyers. Guess which lawyers present a pathetic, incompetent case. Guess who wins. Guess who dies. Guess who is sad about the death.

The pacing was very slow. The scene where Tom Hanks explains the Maria Callus aria goes on much too long. In the scenes with Tom Hanks giant family, all the family members have to get in their camera time.

Tom Hanks does a great portrayal of a Gay man struggling against bigotry, the effects of AIDS, and the fears of AIDS. It it too bad that character was not placed in a better movie.",5
"The quietness of this movie was an instant reminder that the producers had little idea of the reality of the Western Front. From Flanders to the Swiss border you could - at any time of day or night - always hear the distant booms of artillery barrages.

Also, this movie was so full of 21st-century features - non-white troops embedded with British front-line units and so on - that it's a wonder the producers didn't try to work in a lesbian subplot.

As a piece of fantasy it's not half bad. As a realistic portrayal of the Western Front in the spring of 1917 it's a dud.",5

"JK Rowling's new Harry Potter world-extension isn't so much a prequel as it is a loose, distantly relevant novella. People wave wands and use familiar lingo. Footnotes from the wizarding world take flesh and form out in the wild and there's a bit of familiar name-dropping to keep us all invested. Eddie Redmayne takes top billing as the introverted naturalist with an extensive collection of traveling wildlife, but as the name implies, the beasts themselves are the real stars here. A live-action jaunt through the monster manual, it's an interesting, unusual turn if not a terribly fulfilling one. Many times, I felt like I was digging through the guts of an info-rich companion book and not a free-standing tale. There's the framework of a story, of course, but it's awfully dry, light fare and the real focus is quite clearly on establishing a deeper lore for the growth of the franchise. The effects work is strong, as it desperately needed to be, and I enjoyed the unexpected aesthetic of magical society at play in the roaring twenties, but there isn't a lot of meat on these bones. Disappointing, since the Potter films are brimming with precisely the kind of depth, warmth and rich, implied back-story that this is missing.",5
"I adore Quentin, which is why I am so sad, I'm sorry, but this film has NOTHING in Quentin's style, the characters are squalid and insipid (nothing to do with great people like Hans Landa, Jules and Vincent, Mr .White etc. ..) monotonous, non-entertaining dialogues and violence is almost entirely absent. A film that at the end of the vision leaves you nothing, just so much boredom, long-winded and inconclusive. This is not the Quentin that I love",3

"...it's simply a complete lack of character development and their chemistry, regardless of whether you've read the book or not. Admittedly, having the read the book just makes it more frustrating, as so many exciting and entertaining elements were omitted in the movie. That being said, I didn't mind that, nor did I mind that they created a different version of the story, rather than stick to the original. What I did painfully mind, was that I neither at any point during the movie cared about what happen to Wade & Co. (or between them), nor did I buy their poor acting (in a way to rushed story). It was so shallow and plastic ufantastic, that it's sad, especially given what could have been an amazing movie. It pretty much feels, as if Spielberg did not care about the movie at all, it was just another paycheck. For all the ones that rated it so sky high - I can't help it think, that they get paid to hype up the movie, or are under 16. So many 8 to 10's are just not believable. One final comment - if you do decide to watch the movie, and you get frustrated about the character development, interactions and pace during first 15 minutes, but hope it'll get better. It won't.",3

The acting by Brad Pitt is the only reason I did not give it a 1.

"Just can't figure out what Netflix parameters are for content creation. ""so long as the title is familiar or catchy, we'll produce it"". Lost in Space Season 2 is as if the writers never saw Season 1 and don't know how to write a story. Just boring as could be and a total waste of resources.

"This is the film about the rescue of 6 American diplomatic personnel out of revolutionary Iran in 1980. It is directed by and stars Ben Affleck.

The movie has won almost every award going and Affleck picked up countless best director awards, and even though he was not nominated for a best Director Oscar, he did pick up the Oscar for best film. This type of movie has never particularly appealed to me, but I have been a huge fan of Affleck ever since his excellent film The Town in 2010, and given the universal acclamation, I decided to give it a go. I wasn't disappointed. It is a very good film. As I heard someone say the other day, it was so good that you got totally caught up in the drama and excitement of the rescue, even though you already knew the outcome. A good movie has the ability to do this, as is evident in such blockbusters as 'The Titanic', where everyone knew exactly what was going to happen.

There is little I can find to say in criticism of this movie - but I will try... The cast provided a great ensemble performance, with no single actor being particularly outstanding, and the story romps along at a good pace to prevent our interest and excitement from flagging. All in all a highly enjoyable, and expertly made film, but whether it deserves the superlative accolades that have been showered upon it – I remain unconvinced. Personally, I think that 'The Town' is a much better movie.

It's probably just me; I'm sorry but I just cannot find John Goodman believable in any role he has played since he was Roseanne Barr's husband in the long-running American sitcom. To my mind, he always has been and always will be that slob of a working-class father with dysfunctional kids and a nutcase for a wife. Everything else he has tried to do, in my opinion, simply doesn't come off. He certainly doesn't ruin Argo, and does his best to deliver as good a performance, but for me, he is always the slob from 'Roseanne'.

There are also a number of totally unnecessary and silly factual inaccuracies. These deliberate errors glorify the America's involvement while disparaging or ignoring the contributions of other countries. This is quite sad, and it took a number of protests before Affleck conceded he had indeed misrepresented the truth. It leaves a bad taste in the mouth - a pity, because in all other respects, Argo is a pretty good film.",7
"Spoilers ahead. Not that it matters.

Oh my, what a waste of top talent and resources. This could have been a taut, effective, thoughtful little thriller, but the ridiculous plot holes and logical inconsistencies doom it (along with its unnecessary length). The Hugh Jackman character is such a glaring box-checking conceit that it diminishes any complexity I'm pretty sure we're MEANT to appreciate about him. Religious? Check. Hard-working common man? Check. Struggling in these dire economic times? Check. Adorable, loving family? Check. Tragic family event in past that molded his character? Check. Ironic plot development? Check. (The doomsday prepper gets burned; but wait, that whistle did come in handy, as we knew it would.) OK, let's stop there. I'm not saying the plight of the parents was not moving. Who is not moved by children in jeopardy, parents in misery? It's difficult to not see plots like this in terms of the basest exploitation. But it takes a sure and subtle hand to make it work, and that was obviously missing here. Many have compared it to Mystic River, which is apt, though that was a far finer film, and more believable as a police procedural. I imagine the screenwriter and director wanted us to take a hard look at what might happen when a good man goes bad for all the right reasons, but the lengths he goes to in torturing the Paul Dano character just don't make sense. Yes, maybe that's the point: Keller is beyond ""sense."" OK, but when the two other parents acquiesce to the torture (albeit somewhat reluctantly, but still), I wanted to throw something at the screen.

While I'm still on ""character,"" Jake Gyllenhaal's detective is an absolute cipher. Maybe this was a decision NOT to give him a backstory of any kind because that would be lame. Fine. But in place of that we get a bad haircut, shirt-buttoned-all-the-way-but-no-tie look, some twitchy blinking, and not much else. I was rooting for him mostly because he wasn't actively torturing anyone.

Other complaints:

*One detective seems to be assigned to this very explosive case. Other than combing the fields for bodies, no one else seems involved in the ""investigation."" OK, this was probably a decision so the focus would be on Loki (his name,really?) and not on some partner chitchat, and at a 2 hr., 33 min. runtime, I should shut up about it, but it so goes against any police reality, that I couldn't forgive it.

*Gyllenhaal makes a decision pretty early that the Paul Dano character is innocent, and so he is released - without surveillance and without police protection, even though Jackman's character has already attacked him. Yes, I know, some perfunctory BS scene with Gyllenhaal's superior was included to explain why there was no surveillance, but that also was stupid. He was their only real suspect. And a search of his aunt's property didn't reveal . . . drugs, syringes, handguns, sedated girls? Nobody looked into the history of this little ""farmily""? The aunt is taken at her word about everything. Oh wait . . . she had to be, or Hugh Jackman could not have kidnapped Paul Dano and we wouldn't have a movie.

*The priest has a dead body in the basement. Obviously, he takes his vow about confessions more seriously than the commandment about murder. Oh, and that dead body turns out to be . . . Well, you know if you saw it.

*The abandoned apartment where Dano is held is never searched (convenient new suspect emerges at critical juncture, too busy to send someone else over there to do a thorough search).

*Red herring to end all red herrings: deranged young man with mazes, snakes, pig blood, buried mannequins, stolen children's clothing.

*Just in general: too much crazy in too limited a geographical space (see Priest, Snake Boy, Crazy Aunt).

*One child escapes . . . while heavily sedated? Crazy aunt nonetheless stays put, does not kill remaining child immediately. Why she was keeping them alive in the first place is not convincingly explained.

*ONE person deciding that a dead child means warring with God and creating ""demons"" by abducting and killing other people's children is a just response to personal tragedy is far-fetched (not impossible, certainly), but TWO! Good times. Of course, the Man suffers a crisis of conscience apparently and confesses to the wrong priest. The Woman (female of the species and all that) has to keep muddling along, killing when she gets a chance. Times are tough (the recession applies to child abduction too).

*The maze symbol is both too obvious (morally) and too opaque. Dead guy in basement wearing one, crazy crime re-enactor draws them, imprisoned Dano whispers it? Connection unclear.

I wish I had that whistle at the end, so someone would have come and saved me from this movie.",2
"Three episodes in, and still not one word about the _motivations_ of the protagonist, are you kidding me?! It's like in their eagerness to ""go dark"", the storymakers completely have overlooked the importance of providing this very vital detail to any story about a ""hero"".

Yes, admittedly in those three episodes alone, we already do see lots of (very crunching!) beatings in gloomy places, ""great choreography"" of the fight scenes, lots of bleeding wounds in closeup details, knives into eyes and whatnot - all supposedly very ""gritty"" for sure, but none of all that window dressing compensates for failing to provide the audience with anything in terms of character motivation, from the START!

I'll probably give the show a fair chance of few more episodes to come up with something on this, since I have the whole first season already, but so far it's not exactly gripping me. It may be the comic fan's wet dream, for all the things listed in my second paragraph, but I'm personally not impressed by any of it.

If you can't understand what drives the character, you simply cannot root for them.",6
"I had big hopes for this movie. My thoughts were that perhaps this would be another Casino or Goodfellas. Unfortunately, disappointment soon kicked in and what looked like a great film turned into boring, longwinded torture.

There are just too many longwinded details and too many faces and names to properly follow the story. This is a movie that takes ages to get to the point and when it gets to some kind of point it takes some more points connected to other points and other details you already forgot an half hour ago to get to no point at all.

It is very obvious that they took old men and made them look young. This was well orchestrated but it definitely was a distraction when it came to following and deciphering the story that was being told.

3 hours+ for a movie is a huge time investment. 2 hours in and I hoped it would get better but it only got worse. Looked like a very promising movie but it completely fell flat.",3

"Ortega gives a brilliant performance and so do the rest of the cast but that's not enough to convince me this was more than a usual modern coming-of age teen series. The murder mystery concept is surely intriguing but the script simply lacks of creativity. I noticed a lot ( and i mean A LOT ) of similarities with other franchises, mainly The Harry Potter movies and the X-Men series. You know , different, dropout kind of teens trying to create a society of their own while some evil force wants to kill them all ... The romance in the series is nothing more than the typical disney-type (platonic relationships between teens that find it difficult to express their feelings) Appart from that it was honestly decent. The characters (especially Wednesday) all had good moments throughout the series and some fun lines. The series definitely didn't lack of humour and that made it fun to watch A solid 5/10 i believe is pretty representative but that doesn't mean it couldn't be 6,7, or 8 as well. I think it depends on your expectations and personal preferences.

All in all , Judging it as a teen mystery-drama it was pretty good but it definitely is not the greatest tv-series out there.",5
"Now there are many ""reviews"" for this film...but as one whom claims to think outside ""the box"", a paradox is created by watching a movie that is about a box of a temporal nature. I cant shut off the mind that has sunk into the depths of such a genre as ""sci-fi"" because to that same mind it is only ""sci possible"" and so I foresaw too much of this coming. Did this ruin the film? Not really. It speaks volumes of the character of actors in such a film, whom chose to be in it, almost like they knew the outcome of the endeavor. BLAH BLAH! And so on lol. This is almost what it must be like to be inside the mind, or to walk in the shoes of this movies characters; not a mind job, just natural and the way tis meant to play out to those in the know. If you get what I mean, or you are lost, don't bother continuing to read, cause I have already seen the need to lack further explanation. Either way...you will watch the movie...or you wont. MWHAHAHAHAHAHH! Be seeing you ^.- 6.5/10",6
"I knew there is a catch somewhere in this movie after I reached the first 10 minutes of so. The film ends, and the catch didn't come. So it's good movie in tricking the audience, wasting their time, forcing to listen to (a lots of) farts, and watching a dozen of drunken, hallucinating and pissing scenes; all for not a thing.

Perhaps the writer/director/staff tried to produce a movie that mimics some of the classic writings in a more or less modern way. They have absolutely failed. Some of the angry and tedious speeches, which are about 3/4's of the movie, are actually so funny and colorless. And the actors almost laughed while making such speeches which supposed to reflect great pain and anger.

Don't care even if ratings and reviewing gave it 12 stars out of 10, this movie is a failure. 2/10",2
"The show feels like a gothic sociopath Harry Potter is stuck in Stranger Things. The show is not very scary, but it has a dark atmosphere with a crime main plot. Every now and then there are funny or uplifting moments which makes the show surprisingly fun to watch. I would say the humour is aimed at a younger audience (<18yo) and generally the show seems to be aimed at this audience. I am sure that if I were around 15 years old right now I would love this show and give it a higher rating. The ending for too predictable for me and overall the acting is below average (with the exception of Jenna Ortega who does an excellent job). Overall 7/10 I watched the entire first season but I am not interesting in the second season which inevitably will come out eventually, considering the success of the first one.",7
"I profoundly disliked the comparison of the cultures implicit in this film. In my opinion, the japanese are portrayed as stange people, impossible to understand by the ""normal"" (american?) ones. The main characters don't even try to understand or analyze anything, they just bore and think about how life is empty and senseless. I don't think that if I was visiting another country, always fascinating and new, I would spend all my time at the hotel, drinking and flirting with men of my father's age. Modern life obliges to be adaptative and comprehensive. Wide horizons are so rare in american movies.

I expected something less deceiving from Sofia.",3
"Tho I was always waiting for more to happen, it simply doesn't - it's just too boring. A lot of talking, but even so interesting. Just a sad story. Changing the actors is also pretty annoying, the new ones are way worse, dull.

Of course I'm comparing with GOT, which was way more interesting and well made than this. Such a pity when you're expecting so much and getting so little. All the wait for what.

I do like the dragons tho, but even that seems a bit take, as the special effects are a little off. And they are not even used that much.

I'm sure they are holding all the action for the last episode, but I can't just watch 10 episodes for the last one.",7

"I don't know if everything that was depicted in this series told about the horrifying incident of chernobyl is true, but it certainly going to bring shiver in your spines while watching! I can't imagine how the inherent fault of reactor with human ego and error can be potent to erase the entire humanity! There's been a lot of research done and a hell lot of efforts in Scripting that Chernobyl comes out so real! The characters are well chosen. Everything seems so real! It's been over 3 decades but the chernobyl incident still is the most terrifying incidence in the history of mankind! Must watch and couldn't resist to give less than 9!",9
"As you can see by all the 10 star reviews, there is incredibly high praise for this film, but having myself just left the cinema, I feel like I've been conned by Tarantino and all those complicit in hyping up this utter waste of a story. Plot? Didn't start until the final 15 minutes of a nearly 3 hour story. That's objectively weak storytelling, despite the homages and stylistics and texturing. So what the fudge is going on with these reviews and the high rating and the endless standing ovation at Cannes film festival? My guess is it's a combination of the Hollywood fake review machine, a test of Tarantino loyalty toward those under his influence, and possibly a range of self-deceiving who think the superficial elements outside the plot making it a satisfying film. Again, when you wait over 2 hours for the plot, it's not a satisfying story. One of Tarantino's worst by far.",4
"Action is what this film heavily relies on which it gets it right! Excellent one take chase sequences and some stunning stunts here and there and boom! According to some Indian Hollywood blind fans, your 10 star film is ready but no I am not a fool I prefer a strong story as well. No twist nothing. Simple straightforward film.

Another day where i can say ""All action no substance"".",7
"I felt the movie was more for a gounger audience because of the humour in it. It also wasnt like other DC movies, it wasnt dark and gloomy. There wasnt enough action. 2/3 of the movies was spent on discovering abilities and running away from the enemy. It was also a bit cringy at times.",3
"Something really wasn't right here.

This is probably one of the first phase 4 marvel movies I've seen. It really wasn't good. The acting wasn't good. The look of the film was really fake seeming. The story was confusing and disjointed. The pacing was all of. It just didn't feel right. The whole thing felt off. Not sure what that's about...

The whole concept was too complex but also really shallow and dull. America, was a horrible character that had no development and was mostly annoying on screen.

For being a movie about the multiverse... and how expanse it is... we only got to see two different universes.

What was the point of this movie?",3
"quick and simple review. i gave it 2 out of 10.

it started out great i was sucked in. but then for some reason the writers seemed to mix it up with a twist at the end that wasn't needed. and completely trashed the film. on another note it was hard to get past the fact that i feel it was matt damons worst performance i have seen. and i am a matt damon fan.

so in a summary. the first half of the movies was great, but its hard to hold onto that first half when i came to vote due to how bad the 2nd half got.

on a personal note. if mat damon reads his bad reviews like some do. then sorry but as a fan of yours. i have to say. you was in my top 3 actors that you could always count on being a great movie when you see they are in it. but intersellar,Elysium i found to be bad movies. plus The Monuments Men i stopped watching half way in when i realized its just boring and not getting any better.",2

"Typical action sequences? Check. Elaborate fight scenes? Check. Plenty of shooting in public spaces without police response? Check.

John Wick Chapter 2 delivers exactly what its target audience wants, including popular mainstream actors in great bit roles. Will the typical viewer enjoy the movie? Of course. But does it cover any particularly new ground, not at all.

Based on the ending of the story, which I will not give away, I can easily give you the third installment's synopsis:

Someone will threaten the High Table and probably knock off a member or two. It will fall to Winston to contact a hidden and exiled Wick, begging him to intercede on the High Table's behalf, then all will be forgiven once the threat is eliminated.

And, as long as the requisite creative kills abound in the sequel, it should easily make a profit.

Too easy, Drill Sergeant!",4
"I feel that this movie is somehow special. It starts of some time after the first movie and shows Peter Parkers struggle with both trying to have a day job, mixed with school and of course being Spider-Man. What makes this movie special is the great mix of well acted characters with great action and feel throughout the whole movie, while it also has some cool references to old Sci-Fi flicks (but only in the feel of some scenes). Although there are some annoying faults in this movie (which you probably won't notice)it all weighs up great by the moving scenes(both action and drama actually) and the fact that it actually is based on a comic. Anyway a true must-see!",9
"The Barbie movie was unexpected. It was a colorful and clever ride in the cinema. I was not expecting all the deep emotions that the film gave. Life is not all about perfection, which a lot of people wants to constantly achieve these days, imperfections is what identifies us and that's okay.

I'm a visual kind of cinema goer and I have the say that dance sequence (Dance the Night) and the scene where Barbie and Ken where traveling to the real world were AMAZING. Kudos to the creative team behind it, I absolutely adore the set.

Greta Gerwig and her team delivered a visual spectacle with a heart.",10
"Abhishek had his haters when he entered the industry, though by 2004 they were all wiped out some still stuck around but this movie silences his hardest critic. He gives the best performance of the year, and is just so incredibly talented in this role and he absolutely kills it. This rivals some of the best of bollywood's finest performances and he should be proud for what he is able to accomplish. The entire the cast performed well as well especially Aishwarya, this film ranks among Mani's top work and is just a really great movie. Though some plot lines don't get wrapped up, it was an amazing roller coaster and is uplifting. It is amazing how Abhishek gained and lost weight for different sections of the movie, and the camera work reflects that. 100% Recommend.",10
"This movie its pretty classic and dont have anything special to say or to show. It s clearly a forgettable movie and the characters are ""cliché"" . Some vilains are pretty well made but the scare isnt there, i mean for me. And i have seen i guess the more idiot exorcist of any movies at my knowledge. Very boring. And with all that, whole the movie we don t see ed an lorraine warren. Just for the beginning. The friend of the potagonist make us want to kill her, i have never seen a character so much boring and disrespectfull. Clearly a not good movie and a not good annabelle.",4

"For the most part, this was a pretty good movie. The atmosphere was good, there are some really good scenes at the beginning and the end including a great piece of animation for the story of the deathly hallows.

The only real issue was the pacing, and it was a big one. The middle of this movie slows to a crawl as the characters spend a great deal of time doing pretty much nothing.

I'm reasonably convinced that there is no artistic reason why Deathly Hallows needed to be two movies. They've converted longer Harry Potter books into movies just fine. The fact of the matter is, this was done so the studio can sell you two tickets and I think the actual movie suffers as a result.

But of course, if you're a fan of the series, then you've seen this movie already. But for the rest of you, this is probably the weakest in the series, second two the Prisoner of Azkaban which is a movie that doesn't really work for no clear reason.",5

"I watched 48 minutes of this childish movie. Please stop making this kind of movies. It has been milked out for way too long. The magic is gone. Even the special effects can't safe them anymore. The story is so childish and lackluster. It doesn't mesmerize you. The young lady actress is way too neutral. She's there but simultaneously she's nit really there at all. Although I like Benedict he is not able to carry the movie.

This movie is nice for a rainy Sunday afternoon after a night of partying.

Anyway, please wasting so much money on making garbage movies.

"I'll be upfront about it - it's not a genre I like. To me, it feels like:

1, Give everyone a motive 2, Make the actual motive, means or opportunity convoluted 3, Reveal it slowly in the last 10% of the film with occasional flashbacks to things which make no sense unless used retrospectively and implied as clues

I don't see anything different in this film. I'd praise it if there was a really clever subtext or it said anything about, well... anything at all. It's just a jigsaw, though. Here are some pieces, bit of a mystery about what the picture is, now we've put it together we can see it's:

1, Sydney Opera House 2, A close-up of Ernest Borgnine's face 3, Some hyenas

Well, great, that was worth two hours. What would have been great is if hyena DNA got mixed with Borgnine and he was scampering about the carapace of the Opera House with tails coming out of his face. At least that would present the possibility that humans have even the slightest imagination, rather than perpetually retelling the most tedious parts of our existence and imagining that it means something.

To be fair, it does mean something. But only to the tedious.",2
"I can see this going the way of Shawshank or Dark Knight, movies I was originally neutral towards but got ruined over time by the fanbase making them into the most overrated trash of all time. This movie, while good, is already starting to go the same way. I saw this movie about two weeks ago, and over the past week I keep having to remind myself ""oh yeah, I did see that movie"". The pacing works and the movie did feel shorter than it was, but I also spaced out frequently while watching it, and much of the scenery was repetitive, which I know given that the war was mainly trench warfare you're going to have a lot of that, it still felt like watching one of those old Hannah-Barbara cartoons where the characters run against the same recycled background that keeps looping every few seconds, trench, trench, no man's land, trench, field, city, trench. Also, know how in Big Bang Theory, one of the characters points out that in Raiders, Indie's presence is totally superfluous and the plot would've played out the same way even if he wasn't there? This movie suffers from the same exact problem: the plot and main character are totally superfluous. If they needed to get an urgent message across, the common practice was to simply fly a plane and drop the message down. There. Simple as that. There would've been zero reason to send two people on foot, unless maybe the unit didn't have any planes available, which seems a bit of a stretch. People keep going on about the trick photography where its edited to look like one continuous shot. Okay? Rope has done that. Birdman has done that. Most impressively, Russian Ark was literally one single hour and a half shot with no editing tricks. That's an achievement. There's nothing new to what this movie does. It's pretty standard American War fare (I know this movie is English, but Brit and Yank war movies are the same, they have the same sensibility, the same POV), no different than Private Ryan or Band of Brothers or Dunkirk or Hacksaw Ridge.",6
"I understand my opinion may not necessarily be a popular one but I cant help but feel as this TV show rolled on and ended it felt a little drawn out and lackluster. Having quite the interest in the actual event that took place many years ago I walked into this series with high expectations, and while I have no doubt this was a hit among others it was not the case in my view. Would I recommend this, definitely, will I remember it or watch it again, probably not.

Chernobyl the TV show in my perspective will go down as just another show seen to fill the void, nowhere near bad by any means but nothing I would consider worthy of greatness.",6
"Same old jokes on Hindus and Hindu gods. Demeaning Ram, repeated from PK scenes. Too boring, trailer is enough for the movie. Even if it's on OTT platform it's total waste of time.",1

This was by far one of the most boring movies I've seen in a long time. No clue how it got such good reviews. I thought this would be a lot better and it was just very disappointing.,2
"Great movie. This has a strong and complex plot - S.H.I.E.L.D / Hydra. Nice meld with TV series. Great cast with great performances. Great relationships and character development. Nice backstories for the new additions. Great villains, Robert Redford in an unusual role, but always a solid choice, and the twist with the Winter Soldier, although a bit predictable, mined the heart of the story. Even on a rewatch, I give this film an 8 (great) out of 10. {Superhero Action Adventure}",8
There is nothing enjoyable about this movie. Every scene is meant to cause anxiety but it fell short because I didn't care about any of the characters. I do not understand why this got so much praise.,3

"Hi all, I started watching Kung-fu hustle out of sheer boredom on my flight to Japan. I expected it to be another boring martial arts movie with clichéd story lines and bad acting. What I found was an amazingly entertaining, crazy, novel story with slap-stick comedy that had me laughing my *ss off loud. Stephen Chow is definitely putting China on the world cinema map with his genre of movies. The action is of course not real and has used computer effects - but I don't believe Chow is trying impress everyone just by having real martial arts a la Ongbak. He is an entertainer like Jackie Chan was in his prime. He even takes a cheeky punt at western movies like the Matrix and Spider-man which is pretty cool. The story of Kung-fu hustle itself is set in a sort of 70's China and people like me who love travelling and different cultures get a real feel of being in China. The story throws up a lot of crazy surprises like that of a children's fairy tale and is very funny and refreshing. I watched Kung-fu hustle a few times now and bought it on DVD and cant wait for his next movie. Kung-fu hustle gets a well deserved 9/10",9

"This had immense potential to be a riveting TV series, but unfortunately, it stumbled in finding the right balance between its characters. While Henry Cavill's portrayal of Geralt of Rivia was captivating, the show suffered from a lack of sufficient Geralt screen time. Viewers who tuned in for the iconic monster hunter were left disappointed as his character took a backseat to other storylines.

One of the main issues that hindered ""The Witcher"" was the overwhelming focus on girl boss motivation, which often overshadowed the overall story development. While it's essential to have strong female characters, the series occasionally fell into the trap of overemphasizing their empowerment at the expense of a well-rounded narrative.

The story's potential was evident, but it needed to be presented with a more even-handed approach. Striking the right balance between Geralt's quests, political intrigue, and the personal journeys of other characters would have enhanced the show's appeal.

Despite these flaws, ""The Witcher"" boasted impressive production values, enthralling visuals, and a talented cast that brought the characters to life. The action sequences were well-executed, and the world-building immersed the audience in a rich and detailed fantasy realm.

In the end, ""The Witcher"" suffered from an imbalanced narrative, giving too much focus to girl boss motivation and sidelining Geralt's compelling storyline. While it still managed to captivate fans with its fantasy elements and engaging performances, the series could have been truly outstanding had it found a better equilibrium between its characters and storylines.",1
"It's really a shame - I took the work and checked 10 of those 10 and 9 rate reviews and every single one of them got only 1 and at most 3 reviews... I smell the work of some trainees of the marketing department of the production company here.

To the show: the production, the acting, everything is pro, but the story itself and the episodes drag on and on - it is really a hard work to watch them and I confess, after the 3rd episode I did some work on the side, waiting for my illumination why Russian Doll should be a masterpiece (I waited in vain).

So, these days you can't trust many times the reviews and the rates on IMDb for new shows and movies anymore, best it is to check out the Top 1000 votes.

Anyway, the rate of 1 I give gladly because all this marketing s*hit, my real rate is a 5 but no more.",1

"The most potent of the established rhythmic norms surrounding the previous six Harry Potter films was the inclusion of a stirring occurrence at the beginning to get things going, a more sedate and steadily-paced poignant build-up in the middle and a very rewarding climax at the end. This winning format also applies to the series as a whole: Philosopher's Stone serves as an introduction, Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire push the saga along with great gusto, Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince reflect the escalating tensions and finally the two Deathly Hallows films bring things to a stunningly satisfying riveting conclusion. Fans have followed the series as the characters, the films, the books, the iconic actors and they themselves have matured bit by wondrous bit, and now they deserve a final stupendous culmination.

For those who have never read a word of J.K Rowling's writings, the first half of Voldemort's villainous endeavour to secure a total domination over the wizarding world and its often courageous but mostly desperate opposing struggle to his power is powerfully conveyed. Those familiar with the story will be impressed by the wonderful performances given by the always-dependable cast, as well as the very pleasing depiction of all of the key exciting and engaging events. For the entire audience, there are plenty of thrilling moments that masterfully manipulate the senses, most notably Nagini's truly terrifying leap at the camera after Voldemort's kills one of his helpless victims and says ""dinner."" Swathed in a sinister sense of genuine danger, fearful secrets, conflicting emotions, intoxicating adrenalin and occasional effective comic relief, it is a must-see contemporary masterpiece that children can actually see.

Directed by David Yates, the best of the Harry Potter directors, it of course stars that lovable trio of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint as well as the brilliant Ralph Fiennes, with Imelda Staunton and Helena Bonham Carter making memorable appearances.",10
"Notice how Winter Soldier was arrested without issues, probably because he wasn't putting up a fight. For one, nobody is getting 3 MOH! And if that's the case it would be presented by 3 different Presidents. To make the MOH recipient look bad is absurd to me, but the new norm right!!!!",2
"First things first. Top Gun Maverick is entertaining enough. If you're one of those people for whom that is all that matters in a movie, read no further.

Beyond that, there are two ways to look at this film. The first and most obvious is that this is a replica of the original movie. Moviegoers and critics alike easily find themselves drawn to the game of comparing the original to the replica and seeking to assess if one is marginally better than the other, losing sight that the very issue is that one is drawn into that game. Inserting marginal differences into a movie is not what creativity, story-telling or great filmmaking are about. And while the film has been hailed as (yet another) savior of the big screen, ironically one of the most permanent feelings one experiences while watching it in the theatre is that you don't really need to be there.

The second way to look at Top Gun Maverick is as a satire or criticism on American filmmaking today. The parallels between the original and this sequel are so strong that they become surreal, so extreme that one feels they must carry meaning. From the initial text explaining what Top Gun is (identical to the one from the original film) to the son of Goose singing Great Balls of Fire on the same piano of the same bar with the same mustache and the same shirt as his Dad thirty years ago, the scenes and the shots parallel the first movie to an extreme, almost reminiscent of Gus Van Sant's Psycho, or of the constant time-loop repetition in Edge of Tomorrow (McQuarrie is listed as screenwriter in in that film as well as in TG-M). The only difference with the original seems to be the planned mission, which is itself a reproduction of the Star Wars A New Hope final scene -one of the most famous action scenes ever-, as if to underscore that even a change introduced in an American film today can only be a reproduction of some other movie.

The very first scenes of TG-M would support this theory. In those, we see Maverick testing a new stealth plane to have it reach Mach 10. The scene has the distinct feeling of the final scene of a movie, and the most memorable images in all of TG-M. It seems to hint at what this different story was that could have been told. Unfortunately, the plane test is interrupted by an Admiral who prefers drones to manned planes, a likely analogy to Hollywood executives who want movies made on auto-pilot.",3
"I believe that once people get on the band wagon they follow the hype of this move, hence the mega score of 9.5. I think Chris Nolan wanted to enter himself in the realms of Stanley 2001.

I wont bore myself or anyone else, my major issues, 1. Why use Saturn rocket to launch out of earth when they had these cool ships in the rest of the movie to fly up and down from planets.

2:They can go through worm holes, find earth like planets but cant detect its a frozen rock and the other has no land at all.

Who decides your life? Who is responsible for your life? The movie addresses some of the basic questions that are faced by the Indian women (in a defined social structure) in special way. The questions are raised in a thought provoking and interesting manner. However the answers suggested need to be further discussed. The movie comes under a feminist tittle; however I have my personal disagreement to the same. It is true that in the movie speaks of how a woman affirms herself over-coming something which can really put down someone.

However, the movie in way (though true at times) stereotypes the foreign culture from an Indian perspective. It also appears to me, by the end of the movie (it suggest in way) an adaptation of the same culture as a means to the issues mentioned.

I suggest the movie as one which raises questions for further discussions, especially on the raising women issues in India.

"I certainly don't need to convince you to watch Venom: Let There Be Carnage because you're going to - I'm here to tell you why it's good, and attempt to sway you into accepting my opinion as fact.

This film is so much of a rollercoaster (and not in a emotional-drama way) I didn't realize I'd watched the entire movie - the end credits rolled along in an orderly fashion and all I could mutter was ""there has to be moar"". My only issue with this film is its runtime - I need to see more fights.

Let There Be Carnage continues where Venom left off, and it's a great start to an already notorious anti-hero. The best part, however, is it continues this path while keeping in mind our social values and expectations need to be addressed to truly hit the best note. Venom begins to get a personality (aside from a lousy pun-cracking monster) and explores himself and who he is in the context of Earth and humanity. As Venom acquires these desires, they get in the way of Eddie's goals and this strife allows for both characters to evolve and develop in their own ways. As always, our hero will come out on top and the same goes for Venom and Eddie, though this time around they have a stronger relationship that's built on more than just power and an semi-obligation to protect the world from ""eevil"".

I take that back - no, not the good stuff about the movie but the thing where I said ""something something one thing I didn't like""; I've actually got two. Twined together with the runtime is the actual narrative and character development, which took a slight beating from only getting an hour and thirty-odd minutes to go from zero-to-antihero. We only see a snippet of Venom's development and Eddie's outlook on the world becoming more aligned with his goals, and that's not enough to really flesh these guys out. If only this were at least two hours long and R-rated - that'd be the cherry on top of the cherry, which also happens to be on top of another cherry.",7
"Although the movie has some of sophomoric humor you would expect from this kind of premise and this group of movie makers, it actually surprises you with some stylish humor in its design that bears some (dare I say it?) originality.

First, it's written with more attention to character study than is customary in these types of comedies. The writer gave them depth, and concocted them with strategic flaws, quirks, strengths, etc., so that their contrasting personalities would collide and bounce off each other with humorous results. The rock star new boyfriend (Russell Brand) of Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell) in most movies like this would usually be a worn-out cliché of a dim-witted guy with slow mumbling speech who thinks the world owes him something. If anything, the film actually takes pokes at how these clichés have been so over-used. Brand takes this surprisingly amiable guy, who befriends his potential rival Brian, and runs with it. He gets some of the best laugh lines, too.

Bell, as the titular Sarah Marshall, is excellent. She, too, could have been a stock foul-mouthed, self satisfying, worthless bimbo type who spends hours in front of the mirror. Although the selfishness is there, it's at a believable level, and there are even fleeting moments when a good side to Sarah is shown. Mila Kunis plays Rachel, Peter's new girl friend, who works at a resort hotel in Hawaii, where all the action takes place. Either Kunis has improved immensely since her sitcom ""70's Show"" days, or else her role here as Rachel just gave her a more rounded character to work with: she is fabulous in this film.

Only Jason Segel (as the broken hearted Peter) is weak in his role; ironic, since he is the writer of the script. It's obvious his intent is to reverse typical gender personality types for the comic effect. Peter is clingy, explosively emotive, cries, and can't let go of the broken relationship. This all works for funny moments, but Segel's performance has a feel of ""Look how fully I am!"" It's more over done than comic exaggeration needs to be. Also, someone tell Mr. Segel we really don't need to see his full frontal poses: he plays them as a joke, OK, but they evoke barf bag reactions, not laughs.

This film falls into the trap of throwing in some mindless stuff, but overall, it's a surprising treat that's fun to watch.",8
"Upon watching it again, somehow it seems even ""worse."" Like it was a film that didn't need to be made.

Seems lazy, the plot trite and rehashed from other movies.

In a positive note, without sound, it makes a nice screen saver.

If you liked Avatar, the first one, you might want to skip this one.

This one has everything the original didn't which it might be why it's so hard to watch.

The first half hour goes from ""paradise"" to ""war"", with the same old tired cliches being used that have made very other movies stale.

I guess it took decades to make, but I am unsure why that might have been.

Also, just too many plot holes, and too much ""suspend disbelief"" moments in a movie that seems too slow, yet somehow too rushed at the same time.

I was falling asleep by the first 45 minutes and had to take breaks watching it as it did not ""pull me in"", not even close.

Lastly, and I almost forgot, Jake is pretty much the only person who can fight back, yet he retreats and basically dooms the planet.

Could have just dropped his family off, but then I guess we would have missed all the visuals.

Same movie, new scenes, same bad guys, same story.",3
"So, we are getting magical now. From the trailer I was hoping for a thrill ride of a movie. I saw the movie in 3D and the Inception-like effects were the most anticipated by me to see. To be noted that I never felt sick by 3D but those effects were so 2005, like in a bad computer game, that a felt a little sick. The effects in Inception are top-notch compared to this version. I mean, Marvel Studios has now enough money to make great special effects, why are all the effects in the mirror dimension so bad? Remember Legolas from LotR jumping around? So bad were the effects. The other special effects of the movie were OK.

The story was OK, but not great. There was never a real villain. Mads was great, as usual, but the role was not interesting enough. The Ancient One was not good at all, just annoying. This was a very bad role for Tilda, who was always great, but now... she is just not convincing. She was just there, stiff, forgettable and bland.

Forget about the plot holes, just focus of the fact that Dr. Strange saves the Earth just a few scenes after he learns how to open a door to another dimension/ place. Maybe his photographic memory is helping him, but he has no time to practice, he just beats wizards that practice magic for some years now, and he also is smart enough to save the world. As the movie unfolds you have the feeling that from the learning of spells stage, Dr. Strange jumps directly to the saving the world, and it just feel like there were a lot of missing steps, or scenes. Maybe they will release an extended version, because like this, the movie feels chopped.

I know that people are going to praise this movie, because everything Marvel is gold, but for me only the first movie of every superhero in the MCU was good. All the sequels were just bad, and cashed on the success of the franchise. Now Dr. Strange was not so good from the beginning, so there is place for improvement in the next one.",4
"It's as if there was no script - just someone saying ""and then"" for two long hours. It takes forever to take off, the characters are boring and even though the actors are great individual they all decided to play horribly in this movie. Most of all Edward Norton.

At some point you just want the movie to be over but you're already half way through so you might as well keep going.

Oh and what about that terrible accent Daniel Craig is torturing us with?! Absolutely unnecessary for his character and more distracting than trying to figure out if that was indeed Ethan Hawke you saw in what must have been the smallest role of his career.",2
"Plot Outline: Orphaned at childhood Lolita (Vidya Balan) stays with her uncle. She and neighbor Shekhar (Saif) develop innocent bonding with each other which unknown to them has matured into love. It takes the arrival of Girish (Sanjay Dutt) before the lead pair discovers their love for each other through circumstantial odds and family pressures.

Comment: Parineeta is an adaptation of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's work, whose works include the immortal Devdas that has been remade over and over again in many languages. Although, it is quite usual to compare Vinod Chopra's Parineeta with Bhansali's Devdas, I would say that Parineeta ranks way above latter in terms of being closer to real life and portraying seemingly real characters as against the recent Devdas was more of a visual treat with stars and extravaganza.

Although Vinod Chopra, in his screenplay has deviated from the novel's portrayal of the 1920's to the film's 1960's, it is seamless and is believably real. The performances are extremely neat with Saif in a mature role and Vidya Balan exceptional for a débutante, both in looks and ease with the camera. Talent spotter Vinod Chopra has her lined up in Munnabhai-2 and Yagna. Sanjay Dutt seemed older than what the role required. Among the songs that are well timed, 'Piyu Bole' has freshness similar to 1942: A Love Story. Although Pradeep Sarkar's direction has made the movie well paced, the closing scenes have been extra-dramatized. Must watch for all audiences.

Rating: 4/5",8
"After a decade of amazing movies, it was quite anticipated. This movie fails to excite even the most hardcore of Marvel fans. It progresses painfully sloooowly....No action scenes...No twists and surprises...No larger than life villains..No memorable character(except Klaue portrayed by Andy Serkis)....And not even the trademark Marvel humor. Nothing.",3

"Steve McQueen returns with ""12 Years a Slave"" after the masterful ""Shame"" and while it is not as complex a subject matter as the latter, it is just as visceral nonetheless.

The film narrates the harrowing story of Solomon Northup portrayed adeptly by Chiwetel Ejiofor (""Red Belt"") who is kidnapped and forced into slavery. His trials and tribulations of 12 long years as a slave are just about enough to strip a man of all that remains of him to identify himself with the person he was before. Reduced to the lowest form of existence at the behest of scriptures in the name of imaginary deities and inhumanity perhaps only surpassed by likes of Auschwitz, the story deals with one man's struggle to not to give in to despair when a single act of perceived insolence could result in a swift death, or worse still, an unbearable existence.

The film is an all too painful reminder of the darker times that humanity as a species has overcome, but still has many ways to go before we can claim to be truly civilized. Oppression and abject subjugation comes naturally to the powerful, especially when armed with the purported word of a barbaric god and this is truer now than ever.

Steve McQueen's directorial style is bereft of any gimmickry and relies heavily on his actors to bring the characters to life by cutting to long close-up shots. This works thanks to some magnificent performances by Chiwetel Ejiofor and Michael Fassbender, the latter with each performance turning out to be one of the finest actors of our generation. This film is not for the faint of heart, nor is it for those who take the world as it is for granted, and forget what it takes to overcome our intrinsic barbarism to earn our humanity. 8/10",8

"I'm not really the target audience for The Godfather franchise, but I did go into the movies with an open mind. After all, I love heavily dramatic, soapy stories, I recognize the quality of the cast, and my mother's side of the family comes from Sicily. With all those elements in place, why wouldn't I like a movie about the importance of family, Italian heritage, and loyalty?

I'm not a fan of violence, but ironically, the version of The Godfather that I saw had been edited for appropriate television audiences. Much of the blood and violence was cut out, the swear words were muffled, and the sex scenes were deleted. The movie was only an hour long-just kidding! I don't know how or why this movie became so legendary, since to me, it felt like a B-picture starring a bloated, tired, low-energy Marlon Brando. This felt like a typical '70s movie, or an '80s television movie, with cheap production values and a has-been lead. I'll never, never understand why Marlon Brando was cast as the title role, and why, after his performance was seen during rehearsals, he wasn't replaced by someone else. Why wasn't Anthony Quinn, Lee J. Cobb, Martin Balsam, Kirk Douglas, Vincent Gardenia, Burt Lancaster, Anthony Franciosa, Joseph Calleia, John Marley, or Ben Gazzara cast? Any of them would have been more menacing, more Italian, and had a more commanding presence. Most of these men made their own ""Godfather knockoff"" in the ensuing years. Marlon Brando - who, despite the sound of his last name, is not Italian - must have patterned his famous, never-endingly mimicked accent after a friend, but among my Sicilian family line, and meeting people during my trips to Italy, no one has sounded even remotely like the cotton-mouthed, whispering, jaw-jutting ""Italian"" accent.

I doubt I'm the only person in the world who doesn't like The Godfather or its sequels, but those of us who aren't fans are certainly quiet. If you haven't seen it yet, I'm sure you'll want to at least try it out, since there are so many famous moments to the first movie. There's the offer, the cannoli, the bag of fruit, the car bomb, the fishing trip, and of course, the horse's head. Marlon Brando scratches his jowls, James Caan is a royal jerk, and Al Pacino explains the difference between personal and business. But most importantly, there's tons of self-importance and an almost tongue-in-cheek seriousness that begs the question, why were there two sequels?

Kiddy Warning: Obviously, you have control over your own children. However, due to violence, I wouldn't let my kids watch it.",3
"I loved this move. It was very fun, light-hearted, and was just about the right length in terms of runtime for me to enjoy it casually. Excellent family movie overall. The use of practical effects was such a compelling part of how the set designs really came alive in the film in a way that made you feel immersed in it.

Though I didn't really feel like Simu Liu's performance added much to the character he portrays (mid ken, ngl), Ryan Gosling and Margo Robbie absolutely killed it in their respective roles. Peak casting.

Overall? Thoroughly enjoyed how this film fitted together and it made for an extremely original film.",9
"Perhaps the best way to start this review is with an observation about a very talented actor's career. Natalie Portman demonstrated with her spellbinding performance as Nina in ""Black Swan"" that she can act really well, but then she went on to act in three terrible films, ""No Strings Attached,"" ""Your Highness"" and now ""Thor."" In ""Thor,"" Portman is simply miscast. She is not a warm actor meant to play in romantic films(that is more Amy Adams' vocation), but instead a cold and efficient actor who is more suited to roles where she is expected to play a villain or someone socially awkward (if not anti-social) or a gifted prodigy with inner demons. Yet director Kenneth Branaugh and the producers put her in this film where she is expected to play a romantic lead -- something that she never did very well throughout her two-decades long career. As a result, every romantic scene with Portman looks forced from the flirtation to the laughing to the kissing scene. She does all these scenes with professional efficiency, but that unfortunately is the problem. There is nothing professional or efficient about love. Love is this irrational, emotionally charged and fantastic thing. If anyone experiences love the same way Natalie Portman's Jane Foster character did, then perhaps they should reevaluate their relationship and find someone else.

But that is not the only problem with ""Thor."" This movie fails at the screenplay stage. There are so many wall-to-wall special effects and blasting soundtracks (Hollywood frequently confuses loudness with good music) that there's no room for a plot or for character development. Moreover what little story line there is was taken out of dozens of movies which exhausted these plot gimmicks. Chris Hemsworth plays the ""Thor"" character in the same spirit as Dustin Claire played Gannicus in the second season of Spartacus, except that Claire's character evolved beyond the caricature of the muscular cool guy at the gym who is loved by all women. Hemsworth's Thor, by contrast, has not even lived up to the caricature, because the plot allows for no character development. Or take how Jane Foster (Portman) and Darcy (Kat Dennings) react to the appearance of the muscular Thor. Those scenes of women enamoured with Thor's manliness are essentially a page taken out of a less than memorable scene in Cecil B. Demille's ""The Ten Commandments,"" when muscular Moses (Charleton Heston) crosses the desert and happens upon a small farm with an elderly farmer and his daughters. The daughters are thrilled because they see a muscular, heroic man. In other words, ""Thor"" is really the product of wall to wall special effects and recycled story lines. The immediate impression I got was that the producers decided to go with the first draft of the screenplay rather than telling their writers to go back to the drawing board and come up with something better. The result is mind numbing entertainment.

As a final comment, the villains in this picture are not compelling. The frosty giants do not do anything except turn other people into frost or get knocked down in record numbers. This, of course, is boring because we have known for more than ten years that computers can create fake armies battling each other. Moreover this film does not have the guts, the imagination and the intelligence to show how brutal and dehumanizing violence and war really are (even though there are two battles on screen). Instead the violence appears to come out of several mindless video games. Something mildly interesting was done with the villain Loki, who may not have seemed as bad as the other villains, but even then Loki's character was so limited and oversimplified that he just wasn't interesting. I was stunned to see IMDb.com awarding this terrible film 7.4/10. It goes to show how easy it is convince the viewing public that they're not watching junk. I think 3/10 is more suitable.",3
"This movie is too long by about 30 minutes. I was happy when the screen finally went dark. A filmmaker should be able to get his point across in under 2 hours or before the collective audience ass starts hurting.

It's a comic book and the effects and makeup are really great, but still, some of it is too inexplicable and so beyond the possible that it undermines the characters. The Joker is deliciously strange and evil but if he can arrange those events that are so very complex, he starts to look more like a circus ringleader whose dancing dogs and fireworks are the real characters.

The story was very hard for me to follow. I don't appreciate having to try so hard to figure out what and why things happen in a movie. I am still not sure why Mr. ""Two Face"" went sour and frankly I didn't care that he did.

There is a very heavy thematic effort here; much of film is trying to clearly define good vs. evil and the shifting ambiguity of that, to end with Batman becoming rather dark and isolated. I applaud this kind of effort in an action film, but here the authors take just too long to get there. I was itching to get out of my seat and had to force myself to sit through to the very end, and that's not good for any movie.",6
"Totally predictable fight, chase, fight again, over the top action, followed by more totally unbelievable against all odds fight scenes which are repeated ad-naseum throughout the film. No plot, no characters, no class.",3
"I'll start with the good: the indoor sets are magnificent. Outdoors is great, too, in the narrower alleyways (though it seems like we keep seeing the same horses over and over again), but for wide shots, an excessively CGI-ish feel interfered with my suspension of disbelief. And Robert Downey, Jr. is a magnificent talent, who held my attention when he was on the screen, as he always does, despite the weakness of the character and the writing in this film.

That's as positive as I can be about this movie, on which I have just wasted what felt like a few more hours than the clock said it was.

It was just so very boring and, in the large ways, unfocused. There was no coherent narrative frame, just a lot of random action, bouncing around within the confines of some vague story that seemed almost beside the point, nothing to do with what was happening on the screen most of the time, which seemed to be more about replicating as many action movie clichés as possible. We journeyed through Bond movie clichés, Vietnam movie clichés, buddy comedy clichés, with touches of Indiana Jones and Pirates of the Caribbean.

There was small-scale cleverness in some of the lines. On the larger narrative scale, though, it was tone-deaf. Where we never got to was the film maker using film as a medium to tell me a story that he thought was worth telling.

I suppose if you want mindless action with the magnificent Downey and a soupçon of Doyle, you could do worse. But this movie is not the good stuff, and it will not endure.",2
"An exciting and new take on Marvel, WandaVision is plenty fun. Starting off as confusing and odd, it progresses into a great show, with each episode having a different style in show history. The fans wanted House of M, they got something similar that they can be pleased with. Elizabeth Olsen has really developed a great character out of Wanda Maximoff, and seeing her evolution into the Scarlet Witch was honestly rewarding as a Marvel fan. Though they do make quite a few surprises, a couple characters were either pointless or upsetting. I hope Marvel makes amends to this in the future. This show is a wild, strange ride for sure, but worth it by the end.",7
Has no interesting characters. Drags on with no action. Filming was so dark sometimes that you couldn't even see anything. I turned the brightness and contrast to max on my tv and still couldn't see. I don't understand what people are liking on this series. Daemon Targaryen Is the only interesting character and even some of the scenes with him are ridiculously funny that he is not killed or that he can get away with whatever he is doing. This series has obviously lacked any real substance since it's not based on any real writing just like the finale of Game of Thrones lacked any substance. It was all contrived to make money off the real writing that was done well.,3
"Okay, as a massive comic book fan I have always found the Marvel, DC movies a bitter pill to swallow mostly because I thought the comics where better . . . Well, not in this case.

Sure, Civil War is really not like the comic, certain characters aren't there and the teams are different, but OMFG, this movie is amazing, from beginning to end, it's just a bomb of great dialog and amazing fight scenes!!

Steve Rogers! Tony Stark! Both amazing as per usual, I walked in there as Team Ironman, then when i saw the difference in the story I actually was emotionally torn between them! It was a hard thing to watch and that alone proves to me the depth in this movie!

Their fight scene in the airport is potentially one of the best fight scenes I have EVER seen, some of my favorite comic heroes, Ironman, spiderman, black panther and scarlet witch all just throwing down! MY GOD! . . .

Only ""downside"" if I had to pick at something, was some of the fight scenes had so freaking much going on it got a little hard to follow with the shaky cams! OH and I wish they had made a better fight scene with Widow and Sharon Carter VS the Winder solider, that would have been bad ass!

But this movie borderlines perfect for me and they 100% deserve the 10/10. Congrats guys.",10
"I am so torn, on this movie. There is no doubt, that Barbie is beautifully made movie, with an awesome cast and an amazing creative team. Margo Robbie was born to play Barbie and lets be honest Ryan Gosling stole the entire movie. Then again I can't think of a single cast Member I didn't like. The references are amazing, as a boy with a sister, I grew with Barbie so I recognised a lot things. But, I did not care for the writing and some of the movies messages, were not just bad, but problematic. I was going to go into details about all the things that bothered me, but I'm not spoiling anything. I don't hate this movie, by any means, but I don't love it either. I think the target audience will love it, and lets be honest thats not me.",6
"You will feel stressed after this movie and you didn't learn anything from it, you just wish it'll be over soon and that you can recover from it.

They bought expensive actors, but didn't give them any characters with depth. It's all so one-dimensional.

I would rate the film as follows

1. Characters 6 2. Acting 7 3. Plot 1 4. Cinematography 2 5. World building 2

That's an overall 4.5 = 5.",4
"It's that time of the year again when the theaters flood with the mega-budget summer blockbusters that scale the mountain at the box office, and Marvel superhero flicks are no strangers to this. After the successful but disappointment of DC's 'Batman Vs Superman' early this spring, many fans were hoping to see a comeback in the superhero genre, this third installment of the highly successful Captain America franchise pays off not only defying expectations but even improving upon its predecessor. With Joe and Anthony Russo turning to the directors' chairs, this superhero action flick sees Chris Evans reprising the role of the titular character along with Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Anthony Mackie as Falcon, Don Cheadle as War Machine, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Elizabeth Olson as Scarlet Witch, and Paul Bettany as Vision. Taking the place after the events of 'The Avengers: Age of Ultron', the team has fallen under massive political scrutiny by the government for all the damage resulted in their battles against the threats. In response, the government passes a bill that puts limits on the superheroes actions requiring them to work under government surveillance. Tony Stark (Iron Man) and the team agree with bill and sign it, Steve Rogers (Captain America) in the other hand disapproves of it and chooses to go outside the law. When Steve Rogers refuses to turn in Bucky Barnes (played by Sebastian Stan) who is wanted by the government, this leads an all-out conflict between the team. Newcomers joining the cast include Tom Holland as Spider-Man, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, and Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther.

The film bears strong similarities to Batman Vs Superman in terms of plot as deals with the tension between two heroes, only Civil War manages to execute the plot more effectively and cohesive. As the plot sets in, the heroes come face-to-face with government officials who give an disheartening inside look of all the damage caused by their actions and the lives lost in result of the battles. In many superhero flicks, mass destruction of a city has become a gimmick in the genre. But the first time in the genre, this gimmick is actually acknowledged by our heroes who grow genuine sympathy for the damage that costs. From there on, the story dives deep into the politics of managing the team and the debate that ensues when Captain America develops a cold shoulder against the government's decisions and the team's agreement. In the end, whether you agree with the government's plan to impose the limit on the superheros' action or Captain America's disapproval for the plan becomes the question. Thanks to our brilliant writers, the story does a great job at balancing the dispute between the heroes and the inference of the political actions to the point where many will find it easy to see both sides of the argument. Furthermore, the film strives some incredible, prolonged action sequences while leaving enough room to flesh out most of the characters. The humanity in the characters is put on the spot, and made to be believable. Yes, this film is a bit crowded in its roster of characters but with it's smart screenplay it manages to work.

When comes a superhero actioner comes some of exciting, pulse-pounding action sequences sparkled with not only tense special effects and CGI but powerfully choreographed stunt work. As viewers come expectations, the action scenes are fun to play watch, and serve as the biggest eye-catchers. And no one should the forget the incredible special effects or even the outstanding fight choreography featured in a scene with Black Widow in one scene at the beginning. No one can argue the stunt doubles' amazing talent in some of the fight scenes. Arguably the best scene in the film takes place at an airport where all our heroes engage in an all-out battle filled outstanding FX and some hilarious dialogue thrown out by the characters, particularly Spider-Man who is given much more comedic portrayal than in the previous Spiderman entries. The actors are quite clever in their roles as ever, and do almost nothing to disappoint. Tom Holland is surprisingly good as Spider-Man considering the roles in his last filmography. Whether his portrayal is better than Andrew Garfield's or Tobey Maguire's is debatable. Nonetheless, he nails it.

Captain America: Civil War is a fun and outstanding start to this summer of big-budget blockbusters, and another astounding achievement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This film is destined to reach massive numbers at the box office, even by those who may not be grown fans of the Marvel superheroes.",9
Give my time back it was the worst anime I've ever watched.,1
"Japan's favourite slice of life series, Clannad rises and falls on its oversized heart and untainted emotional grace. Infused with bits of magic realism, the show is some kind of a daydream; a story where everyone wins and gets what they want at a cost of virtually nothing.

the protagonist is Okazaki Tomoya. He is unmotivated and depressed, (although he never seems that way) but things get turned around after he makes friends at his new high school. How perfect is it that all the girls in the show are drawn to him. One girl however stands out. Nagisa is an angel face with a heart to match, the kind of girl that is too impossibly perfect. The fact that she seems small enough to be his little sister is somewhat distracting once it becomes obvious that they are heading towards being a couple. What is important however is that they get along perfectly, it is everything but a forced relationship. And yet Nagissa is strangely underwhelming as a character simply because she has no flaws. She is precious, and not much else.

When it comes to art, few animated shows paint with sunlight as vividly as Clannad. This is a world where the sky is always blue in the day and golden in the evening. Even more extraordinary however is how the show has a way of summoning beauty out of the mundane; out of the flies hovering around a street lamp, or the quaint naturalism of the bakery that Nagissa's family owns, or in the elegant minimalism of a traditional Japanese bedroom.

If you are anything but a 12 year old girl, comedy goes further than drama in this series. Sakagami has the same angel face as all the other girls but she can drop kick any of the boys in the school out a window. Ichinosuke's violin playing is a riot and Nagissa's mom who is unflinchingly over sensitive about her baking is adorable.

But the problem with Clanaad is it has an ongoing feeling of sameness. Everybody is generous everyday 24/7. There is little in the way of depth or drama. The introverted Ichinosuke has a shadowy intriguing backstory that far surpasses what the show writes for everyone else. Individual scenes and sometimes even episodes play well on the grounds of charm, but the whole series tastes of too much sugar.",6
"It got better a couple episodes in. A lot felt forced, stiff, and didn't have enough suspension of disbelief (that magic touch). But it was good enough to keep me watching and liking it more as it went on. I didn't like the puzzle of events though. Can't wait for a fan edit putting events in sequential order. Just that thing that is hard to put into words. You feel it is all fake whether it is acting, timing, camera work, wire work, choreography or what not. Closer to Shannara chronicles than Game of Thrones in suspension of disbelief. Or World of Warcraft (the movie) rather than Lord of the Rings.",8
"-Love the characters and relationships they have, especially the son and his family. -Who doesn't like puppers?

-Story is pretty basic and is held out a little too long. It gets a bit boring.",7
Action scenes are awesome but story writing is poor. No sense of story. Boring!,6
How do you take a character like Sherlock Holmes and turn them into one of the most unlikable creatures on my TV? I suffered through three episodes. Each episode is way too long. The average 1.5 hours. I don't understand the high ratings for this nonsense. Dr. Watson was the best part of the series. Benedict Cumberbatch's portrayal of SH is absolutely abysmal.,1
"This movie is a real nuisance. It is very well written, funny, has a perfect editing, good dialogues, irony - but transports a nonetheless crude ideology of war and the esthetics of weaponry and death. Thus it insults the intelligence of anyone who is not into ego-shooters. It pretends to undermine clichés but finally consists out of nothing else. What a bitter disappointment after great movies like the latest X-Men etc. Are the other people who rated it so well really not aware of its message? Wage war at any cost against your enemies! No need to understand their reasons! Fight till death! Thats cool! And, surely, protect the holy values of the American family.",4
"While John Wick 4 points with extraordinary beautiful cinematography and some well-made action sequences, it fails apart at two key points when it comes to movies for me.

Firstly the plot. What is this even about? Who knows. People care for the action. But why do we then need to watch more than one hour of build-up for the action, you could watch the action without understanding what is going on, you don't need to know why these people fight, there is no conflict, and even if there is, it doesn't matter, because it has no consequences to the plot. The problem is that the plot is only sequenced trough talking, no visual language.

That makes the movie feel like a video-game. The action-scenes are the one you interactively play, and the talking scenes are just long cut scenes. This Formula works for many games, but you can skip those cut-scenes. If it's a good game, the gameplay will make your blood rush and you will not care for that dialogue pause. Best example is Hitman, you don't care for the story, you just want to play.

What is John Wicks Goal? I as a Viewer, gather nothing from the motivation of revenge, since the first movie the goal is the same, and it doesn't carry the weight of the first one. He does this all because of the last present his woman gave him, because of a dog. And while the film could dive into wicks character and analyze his psyche, and his former relationship to his woman, because she's the reason of this all happening, It rather focuses on an old friendship that now turned into an rivalry. I want to understand this man, and empathize with him, but the movie simply doesn't care about it's character work and the plot.

Secondly the Pacing. It takes too long for the action to begin, and when it ends, it again takes take long until it begins again. A Simple process. And if the story is not compelling enough, it's hard to get trough.

I feel like people are getting easier to please within every year and call everything a masterpiece. People seem to go crazy for mindless action without any substance. Without any conflict and emotion. It's nothing new. It's nothing we didn't had 20 years ago.

Yes, the Action is good filmed. The lighting is great, but what does it really matter? Is an good action flick really what we need more of nowadays. The genre is oversaturated. It has no weight anymore for me. Filmmakers need to try and do something fresh. I do not want to turn of my brain during a movie.

After one and an half hour during the movie passed, I asked myself an Important Question during the movie.

What was the intention of John Wick 4? It was not a Vision the director wanted to show us, because there is no vision. Most importantly, there are no emotions. Nothing to move the audience with. There is no art behind this. Even if it's well made, this whole movie feel feels like an ad.

So now, I know exactly what the intention of John Wick 4 was. It was Money.",2
The pace of the movie is very slow. I almost didn't finish watching it. They could have done a lot more to make it more moving. Was expecting a lot more given the reviews.,7
"I found this film celebrated all that is ugly and brutal and cold. While being well made I found it all on one level. No light and dark just a long tunnel or ugliness about people being nasty loud and by half way through I turned off. I've only ever done that once before with a film, I have too much respect for film makers but sorry guys uncut gems just made me feel sick and had no redeeming feature",2
"Overall disappointed probably due to all the over-hype surrounding it. I had heard statements like best 'Superhero movie ever' which is way off the mark, its not even the best this year (See Hellboy 2 much better). I'm probably making it sound bad which it is not, its a good film but I thought 'Batman Begins' was much more original and interesting, this is much more like all the other movies in the genre with nothing particularly unique going on.

As to Heath Ledger's performance as 'the Joker' again well over rated, Its certainly a good solid and convincing performance but its not an Oscar winning performance. That said its the highlight of the film and much better than Bale's Batman who sounds like a telephone Pervert.",5
"I started watching Wednesday because of all the hype it got but I really don't get it. I mean it's not a bad show but it seemms a bit childish/teenage drama instead of a mistery that would appeal to all ages as it seems it did. Jenna´s performance was great and it is noticeable the effort she put into it but that doesn´t explain the huge sucess it turned in to. Maybe I would understand it better if I had watched the movies first but that isn't necessary for the global understanding of the show. It ended on an interesting cliffhanger even after de villain of the firts season was unveiled so i guess there's hope of a better second season. Overall I would say it's average, especially because my expectations were very high, but since it has only 8 episodes why not watch it?",4
"This seemed like a fun idea. Everyone in on the goof but one guy. Well, it started out ok, but soon devolved into a moronic mess. The non-actor would have figured out in a few hours that this was a spoof. I turned it off after the second episode. I couldn't watch the foolishness, any longer. It was truly cringeworthy and not in a clever way. Not like Candid Camera, for example. The characters were way over the top and unbelievable. The fake jurors were too stupid to be real people. It just wasn't funny. I've seen many spoof shows like The Office that were truly funny. This show falls flat on its face. The premise of the show was good, but the execution was quite poor. The one guy who was a real ""juror"" should have been the focus, but he soon becomes an afterthought. Guilty of nonsense, on all counts your honor!",4
"I really enjoyed this. Steve, Martin, and Selena made a great ragtag trio. Lose the forced swearing and I would have given it a 9. Seriously, it didn't add anything to an otherwise great comedy.",8
I don't care what happens in the last 10 minutes. You'll give away 2 hours of your life for absolutely the most boring movie in your lifetime to get there! Wow lame like,3
There are a lot of scenes which are very similar with an anime from the 90s which i did not remember.,1
"Just watched Season 2 opener and looks like it's going to get very interesting.

Watched the last episode of Season 1 the other day just to prepare for the opener of Season 2.

Watching the last episode of Season 1 reminded me how good this show it. I recall one episode was banned in the US for it's violent and nasty content. But every episode it pretty near the mark.

Don't like giving spoilers way in my reviews and this is no different.

I understand this a network show in the US so free to all to watch without subscription, so jump on board and start watching it.

We all know the story of Hannibal Lector, but this show has no bearing on the movies other than he's an intelligent, charming person who so happens to commit the most brutal of murders. And in this show they are brutal.

Don't be put off by the actors who some may already dislike. I wasn't a big fan of Gillian Anderson, but since watching her in Bleak House, Hannibal & The Fall love her dearly.

As said at the start Season 2 is going to heat up, and a preview of episode 2 shows no sign of that changing.

Miss this show at your peril, it's a million miles ahead of the dross True Detective that everyone is raving about.",9
"On paper this film ticked all the boxes. The first time Pitt and DiCaprio have been cast together, how would that work? Superb; when they did appear in scenes together. Which was not enough. I hate to say this, but I was bored and left wondering where was this going? Margot Robbie's storyline as Sharon Tate didn't flow with the film. Was she there just as eye candy? Direction, film photography, costume, fight scenes, great dialogue between Pitt and DiCaprio (when together) brilliant. Worth 2.40 hours? No. Could have cut down to 2 hours.",2
"This was a refreshing film! It took a while to see where it was going, having entered the screening armed with nothing but the movie title, but its message hit loud and clear by the time the credits rolled. It's also a rare comedy/satire that I actually found to be genuinely funny at points.

American Fiction tells the story of Monk, a black teacher who is fed up with the way black stories are told in the media, be it related to black suffering or stories of stereotypical gang violence which serve to entertain those who have no idea of the true diversity of black stories. In an act of rebellion he writes a piece of troll literature which ignites an unforeseen chain of events. In the midst of all this, we also follow Monk's personal story including his professional, personal and family life.

American Fiction is a dark comedy and whilst it isn't always moving at pace, especially during some of family plot lines, it manages to bring its message home with a unique third act. It also leaves us to with questions to ponder. Namly, what type of Black stories should be told and consumed. Moreover, how are such stories being received by different audiences?

There were many strong performances amongst the ensemble cast including Jeffrey Writght, Issa Rae and Sterling K Brown to name a few.

Overall, American Fiction is a refreshing, funny and enjoyable film even though it has some rushed edges. It's also pleasing to see the movie amongst the Oscar contenders. 7.5.",8
"Best thing about this film is that it bucks the trend of recent Marvel films: it actually has real conversations and, gosh, sometimes minutes go back without any special effects.

It was pretty much what I expected: likable actors (and the villain was well drawn as well), the shrinking scenes were different from other superhero special effects, and the humour was...humorous. All in all, it's closer to the feeling of original comics than recent efforts and I liked that.

Don't expect to be surprised: Marvel don't do that anymore. Sit down and consume it like the popcorn.",4
The winter soldier is a amazing film everything about it is perfect the characters are interesting get lots pt development have great character arcs and the new characters introduced are very good. The antagonists are some of the best in the mcu and the winter soldier as a character/antagonist is just amazing. The plot is great and interesting. And the best part about this movie is the fight scenes they are unbelievably good the choreography in the fights the cinematography mixed with the music is perfect absolutely perfect. Also this movies is kinda like a horror movie in a way it makes the audience feel dread through fear of the unknown the winter soldier is terrifying he appears randomly and disappears without a trace for most of the movie we don't know what this thing is but it's terrifying and is trying to kill captain America. The movie does a great job of making the protagonist feel hopeless as people are hunting him down and captain America is unable to fit into modern society it's great to see and the winter soldier Is a masterpiece that is definitely worth watching.,10
"Denzel and Tom as leads.....oh man. What an awesome duo.

I picked this movie to watch tonight (11/20) because it also had the title of the city I lived in for 3+ years.

It was fun to recollect memories from the places in this picture.

Besides that point, this movie was excellence. Although an older film, there were so many great solo shots and the close up framing garnered a deep emotional connection for the viewer.

Great job by the crew and director for this one. Amazing messages and so excellent that it was a victory to the rightful and based on a true story!",6
"I enjoyed season one but I had issues with mostly the costumes and season 2 fix it and it makes it sooooo much more enjoyable. If they can improve this much from season 1 to 2, I can't wait for next season.",7
"The remake virus is slowly spreading to OTT . Uptil now, most remakes of rather unknown series were done pretty well, which includes the remake of a not so unknown series The Night Manager, The Trial fails to even impress me despite not having seen the original. Both Night Manager india and The Trial have been produced by Banijay Asia , while the former was terrific for me, the latter is just the opposite.

It's a remake of Good Wife, whose name surprisingly is taken multiple times in this series as if announcing loudly that yes this is a remake. It is a courtroom cum family drama series. They had a terrific director in hand Suparn Verma (who previously made Rana Naidu in March ) but sadly he couldn't execute it well.

The courtroom sequences are extremely poorly fleshed out. It's all in a haphazard. First, none of the cases (I mean the incidents on which the cases are being fought), except one or two, are shown to us so we have to just make it up in our minds . A glimpse of the incidents would have had greater impact on the cases. Second, not much space is given to any case. Each case comes and goes within less than half an episode. Cases are solved with ease, not much research is done and some research work done is not even shown to us. Some cases just don't end properly or have an abrupt ending and after that noone talks about it (except the one Juhi case). So many cases cramped in 8 episodes but none given ample time to be fleshed out...all because the series gives more focus on Noyonika aka Kajol's personal life.

Coming to the personal life part, only the Kajol part of managing her own family single handedly felt good and well fleshed out solely because it gets ample space . Other relationships like Kajol and Vishal's relationship, Sana's relationship, Kajol's relationship with Illyas and some other here and there add to the bore factor in this series. This was the same problem with a series in Prime named Guilty which has some terrific well fought courtroom sequences (which is clearly missing in this series) but had faltered in the personal life part.

I would like to mention one stand out performer in this series and he is the man who played Daksh Rathod. Terrific performance!! His attitude and words make sure he fans enough hatred amongst audience to make them feel like slapping him. His way of exploiting a helpless Juhi really made me fume .

I am seeing Alyy khan after a really long time . The man is a very confident actor and has a very mature voice . But sadly his character goes from terrific to really heart broken nibba types which extremely disappointed me and it's not his fault , it's the character given to him to play's flaw.

Kajol definitely does a terrific job in this series and certainly proves why she's still a really talented actress. But i really didn't find anything special in the chemistry she shares with anyone in this series.

Overall, a series that's more of a family drama than a courtroom drama where non work really well. They have left it for S2 but i really don't think it was needed because after this I feel it's gonna become some tv serial like series .",4
"'American Made (2017)' feels much longer than it is thanks mainly due to its inherently repetitive and tightly-packed source story. Though it almost lacks any tangible consequences until its very last moments, the journey is thankfully a generally fun and entertaining one which relishes in its ever-so-slight absurdity. It seems strange that the picture would play so light once you know where it ends up, though the memory of the real-life man may have been better served in this way than with some dour dramatic piece, and the seventies funk elements that often distort the feature are a little bizarre considering that most of it takes place in the eighties. Still, it's an enjoyable ride that manages to entertain if not enlighten. 6/10.",6
"An Interesting film - Amsterdam is an interesting take on Corporations attempts to overthrow the President and put a man in charge of America that they could control back in the 30's. Only they choose the wrong man - Major General Smedley Butler who revealed them and probably set them back 30 years before they could try to control America again (which they now do). One of the men he revealed was no other than Prescott Bush (who was a big big business man), yes a direct line grandparent of the Bush family presidents. They have been playing this game a long time to get control. Great cast, makes you wonder how much research film stars do and how much they know.",9
"Matt certainly isn't a lawyer. There's no even a single case he successfully deals with in the court. He isn't a true vigilante or a hero either. He starts panting & sighing on the floor after ten secs of beating, or getting beaten by, someone. Also, Fisk gets arrested twice in Daredevil. What guarantees that he would be punished second time??? A waste of time indeed!",1
"Very true to the books, awesome cast, great acting, great story.",8
"I feel like the idea of the connection between the Barbie and the Real worlds could be executed more interestingly, the Ken and the Ken war parts took too much time in the story, in my opinion. And all that Mattel part was just super weird, still don't know what the point of that chase even was. So the movie has several problems combined: human vs doll, real women vs imagined perfect women, Ken's crisis, etcetc, so it became a mess in the end of it all, with no clear direction. I thought that the fact that Barbie started having thought of her other would be developed by them both working on it together and coming to a solution, but that didn't really happen.",3
"I am not a horror fanatic though, so take my review with a grain of salt. I watched this with my mom last year and was intrigued by everything going on. Upon watching it again (which I haven't done) I will say there are many flaws, but for a singular viewing this movie isn't too terrible. I am comfortable giving a 7/10. A decent movie to sit back and watch everything unfold, but probably not worth more than one viewing. Just my opinion.",7
"Henry Cavill and the fight sequences are the main reason to watch this series. Even with those redeeming features I still gave up watching around halfway due to lack of interest. The series wasn't terrible but it lacked coherence and flow.

For context I played and loved the Witcher 3 but prior to that did not have any knowledge of the franchise or stories.

After being disappointed by the TV series I subsequently started reading The Last Wish (many of the episodes in Series 1 are based on this book). The book is far clearer and more enjoyable than the TV series in my opinion.

I found many episodes lacked exposition whereas the book makes clear exactly why things are happening. There are numerous examples and nearly every episode has omitted key information that would have made the story more enjoyable.

Another key difference is in the book Geralt and his sidekick have a far more jovial relationship whereas in the TV series Geralt seems to resent and be strongly annoyed by the presence of his main 'friend'.

This backfired in an episode where his so-called friend gets injured and he goes on a mission to save him. In the book it works but in the TV series you feel that Geralt would be just as likely to leave him .",6
"I was so excited for this. I've read the books so many times now I've lost count. But this is not my beloved books bought to life. Diana is so meek & subservient in this show. And I find that completely unacceptable as that's not who she is. I really did try to like it but by episode two I was done. The dialogue is clunky & it feels like chapters have been slammed together with no care for the story development as long as they get the information across.

The books, & Deborah Harkness, deserve so much better. If they attempt a second series around Shadow of Night then I simply cannot. I will not have that ruined too. Also I doubt my voice can stand much more ""OH MY LIFE THIS IS SO WRONG"" shouting.",1
"There is so much about this show that I love. Cavill is a solid Geralt; I'd expect nothing less considering he's played the games, read all of the books, and relentlessly pursued the role, a true fan of the IP. Anya plays an incredibly powerful Yennefer, and her performance is nothing short of displaying such power. While this show is true to the books/story there are some alterations; some are more digestible than others. Rarely do I score most things a 10/10 because nothing is perfect, nor will it ever be in the eyes of the majority. Triss not being a redhead irks me enough to affect my rating, but not enough for it to lose a whole star. That coupled with some of the other minor issues, and my beliefs on perfect scores, are the reasons why my rating is a 9/10. Make no mistake, The Witcher is by far one of THE best adaptations of its kind I'm existence. Thanks to all who were a part of it.",9
"UPDATE - July 7, 2019 Below was my original review. I gave it two stars. I decided to watch the next episode. I'm so glad I did. It got really good. I binged watched the rest. That said. Here's the thing. Winona Ryder deserves an Academy Award. Her acting is incrediable!

What I don't like is that it's so drawn out. The first few episodes you have to just sit there waiting...for the last few episodes where it gets good. I get you want to give the story about the characters. But it's way to boring and drawn out. I use the fast forward button on my Roku a lot to skip over a lot of the parts.

The problem is that I most likely won't ever re-watch the season's again because it's so drawn out (boring) in many of the episodes :/

------

I've tried watching it twice. Finally, yesterday, the 4th of July, I pushed passed the first ten minutes. You have to gain my attention within the first 20 minutes or I pass on the show. I made it through the 1st episode. Luckily, I was bored and was playing on my phone. I kept letting the episodes auto play. Then I started on a new book I'm writing. Still on auto-play. It was untill epsiode 6 that it caught my attention. But, still wasn't hooked. It wasn't until episode 7. Then I put the phone down. It got exciting. Watched episode seven and eight. Instead of turning off the TV after finally making it through season1 I wanted to watch season 2.

Then it happen. Once again. It got borring. So drawn out. OMG, just get to it. I'm on episode 4 now. Just ended with season 3 and turned off the TV. It's to boring and drawn out. Get to it!

Tonight, forget it. I rather take my time and watch Star Trek Disocery season 2 again. Now, that show is awesome! Keeps you plugged in. Keeps you wanting to know what happens next.

My final thoughts on Strager Things is summed up in one word: Yawn!",3
Heath Ledger is good but it's just another boring entry into the Batman franchise. And recasting Katie Holmes with Maggie Gyllenhaal is blasphemy.,2
"So - saw the Batman movie last night. Don't know what all the hype is about. Seemed to drag on and on and I would not want to see it again. It was an OK Flick - but like I said Duh - what's all the hype about. Nicholson was a much better Joker IMHO as was Keaton a much better Batman and in the final analysis I think they were both more believable. I liked the Batman toys in the Keaton movie a bazillion times better than the over-sized armoured quad and ex army gear they use in these movies. I feel like there is a sickness in peoples minds that they seem to enjoy the over the top misery , murder , mayhem and general psychosis that pervades this version of Batman. I look at the quotes here on IMDb and think ""OH MY !! - you think that is amusing !!??"".",5
"A well made but flawed movie. My main gripe with it is the dialogue. I imagine it is authentic but the problem is that I could only catch about half of what was said. Chiwetel is great as the main character but when one can only follow parts of any conversation it spoils the effect of those parts of the script. It must have been a difficult task for the actors to treat each other so appallingly, even given they were only acting. It really is not a film that one can be said to ""enjoy"" it is more a question of appreciating it. Steve McQueen took on a difficult and even controversial subject in this film and it was never going to be a blockbuster. It has been honoured more for the subject and the bravery it took to make it than for it's quality.",7
"Nobody seems to know that Fargo is first and foremost a beautiful and very simple love story about two ordinary rural small town American people and secondly a superbly acted crime murder mayhem movie, probably the best that has ever been filmed. Every character is genuine, believable, and Home, not Hollywood, spun. The suspense rolls in and out like a San Francisco fog. The side shows that are built in are amazing (sheriff's conversation at a bar with old acquaintance - stamp conversations - breakfast makings). The whole film is an American Shakesphere. I actually know frequent moviegoers who have not seen Fargo (and Sling Blade and Shine). I feel a special sorrow for them. Back to Fargo, every time I watch it I don't want it to ever end. I even sometimes find myself wishfully thinking I could move up there, it's a Lake Wobegone, and then the movie would never end. Fargo is as close to capturing and portraying real life as a director and bunch of actors can get. I wish IMDb had a just one time eleven so I could crown it emperor above all.",10
"It has all the music and the script of the original, but without the comedic timing.

I was very excited to see this. I've loved a large number of the live action makings of my favorite animated classics. But this one completely missed the mark. Delivery of the lines was flat and mechanical. It felt rushed. I don't know how voice over acting can be so unconvincing, but they managed to nail it! The one exception is the great James Earl Jones.

The animated film was a masterpiece. It made sense. The characters had dimension and expression. It was funny and tragic and uplifting all at once. The live action? It was missing all of this. It was just depressing. I didn't even finish it and was sad that this was my kids' first exposure to one of my favorite classics.",4
"People who are defending this movie clearly don't care about plot and have no grasp on theme or what makes a film objectively good or bad. The problems with this film have nothing to do with people not getting the twist (which wasn't complicated in the slightest if you're familiar with any sci fi other than star wars.) They have nothing to do with whether it gets the science right (which it mostly does.) This film is bad because the plot is doesn't work, characters have little to no character, and most of all the emotional moments fall flat its that simple. Even if every part of the machine works individually it doesn't come together to create something worth watching. Interstellar has neither the heart or balls to achieve what it sets out to and despite moments of ""brilliance"" its a film with the ambition of Kubrick but the execution of Shyamalan.

I was really excited for this movie. I'm a big fan of Chris Nolan (though hes not my favorite) but this movie is a 3 hour waste of time if you care at all about experiencing a well told story. The twist is obvious and the movement towards it is clumsy. The plot holes are larger than the black hole around which the movie centers. As a result, I'm not at all surprised to hear that Interstellar was made up of two separate scripts that individually may have been great. I will say I enjoyed the 1st act to an extent and there are some good lines throughout. A few of the actors (specifically Mcconaughey and Caine) give awesome performances. Maybe a great editor could have saved this film but ultimately it comes off too cold and sterile for the emotions to hold any weight. Do yourself a favor. See something else",2
"Could barely understand anything Venom says. Tom Hardy's American accent (I nationalized it to American rather than just San Franciscan cause it is in NO WAY an SF accent) is also barely audible. Woody Harrelson is to me one of the greatest actors of all time and he did not disappoint. Naomie Harris was forgettable. Overall the movie was too quick. Could have had ten more minutes of material, maybe learning about Cletus' murders rather than them putting it into a montage in the beginning. Certain elements like that made the film seem rushed, which it most certainly was at only 85 minutes of actual film before the credits rolled. I'm all for short movies if they get the job done but to me this one didn't get the job done entirely.

Other than Harrelson's performance and the after credits scene, most of this movie is forgettable. Three stars go to each of those factors.",6
"this movie really crossed the decency - line. the comedy here is not generated naturally but is rather faked and forced into existence. throughout the movie everyone is trash talking so that it may seem funny. its really like those later ""american pie presents"" type of movie which doesn't really make u laugh,only this one is worse than those.

u will probably enjoy this under the extreme circumstances that u are utterly bored and there's no one to talk to,and u have already watched 18hrs of porno not stop. Only then will u be brainwashed enough to take this movie minute by minute.

since i wasn't in that position,i couldn't bear even the first 30minutes. i was fast forwarding to pick up some good moments,and found the only one good moment - the credits part.this movie is really ""superbad""",1
"Raid is the first indian movie based on income tax. This movie is full of masala dialogues by Devgn, Comedy, Political, Drama, Romance and Patriotic. Acting of the casts is great. This movie is watchable with your family. Another Great movie of Devgan after Drishyam.",10
I don't think I've ever written a review for imdb. I watch just about everything and can usually find the good in any show or movie. But these 10 star reviews are obviously false and it's upsetting because I use IMDb reviews and ratings to pick new things to watch. This show is only okay. I find the characters rather awkward and uncomfortable with each other. The story isn't that intriguing. I hope IMDb can fix these ratings.,5
"Metascores and the cinema ""specialist"" clique will only rate a comedy if it's cynical, tries really hard to be clever and above everything else. So if a comedy comes across as obviously too mainstream, as having a ""boring redundant same old chorus"" of a ""predictable"" moral at the end and feels genuine and positive, then it's a complete failure and waste of time.

Looking at the premise, the poster and the kind of promotion this film has brought upon itself you'd think it was only good for one laugh while half-wasted, and that's it. But that's just not the case.

It immediately establishes that it's going to be that comedy that actually gave a darn and put effort into writing the jokes. We're not fed tripe, there's a real spirit in the humor here - and Reynolds as always provides his own quality touch where if you've seen him a couple of times before you know he's added some of the lines himself. The film is pretty swift at establishing the characters, some of the tensions, and delivering the premise straight away without messing around. And as that happens, as the two leads swap bodies and roles, we're given a realistic depiction onscreen of what that would really be like, the film doesn't just go right for the completely goofy ridiculous scenes and as it progresses, it's actually well acted out, well scripted, very well paced and, impressively mature. This was genuinely given some thought on where to go from A to B to C, so on, from the introductory setup to the later stages. Sure there's a little bit of improbable plot magic, but it's kept in check commendably well: a vast majority of what's going on makes sense and rings true. And where such a film usually pushes way too hard on the humor eventually, this keeps it fresh and interesting every time it should've crashed considering its category.

A special mention to Leslie Mann who does surprisingly well (!). She helps convey key emotions for the plot and delivers in pivotal scenes that could've turned to trash very easily. Instead, there's real purpose and significance to those scenes, and she in particular did really well.

The film poses questions as you'd expect from such a synopsis: two guys, mutually polar opposites, switch lives...surely they discover how much they loved their old regular life, but also the infatuating prospect of falling right into the perfect framework created by the other where all those new options are available...

It's funny from start to finish, really funny in parts - it's full of twists and turns, nowhere near the linear development one would think; and it's totally coherent and fluid. I'm going to go out of my way here, and actually give this a proper 8/10. For its kind, it's one of the best I've ever seen and could hope to watch.",8
"It starts out incredibly well, especially the first 2 episodes and falls off after that.....The 3rd episode seems pushed to cater to a ""Narrative"" that is over pushed these days. That episode almost is pure fill in of that Narrative......Hence I would speculate why there is a plethora of 10 ratings for this series......Picks up steam for the next 4 episodes, once again, seems rushed on the last episode or I would have rated this series a 7 or 8. I had never played the video-game so that was not a consideration for me. The scenes with the infected were very good but not overused as the main theme here, its more of a cause of the sideshow of the apocalypse. The post Apocalyptic world and Cinematography were excellent probably the best part of the show......",6
"Completely SILLY STORY.

Completely SILLY ACTING.

Completely SiLLY DIRECTION.

Even the great actors dont act well.

Quite a lot of money went into this movie and the masses do come to see it and they must be really really really braindead if they enjoyed this utter mess...",3
"I heard good things, friends said best movie they've seen, it even won awards. It was rubbish. Slow. Plot was thin. I was really excited too watch it as well.",1
"I had high hopes for this movie but the plot was loose and relaxed. The movie was filled to the brim with uneventful filler and violence felt misplaced. That's all I can say that's bad about it. The acting was great, the dialogue was great, the cinematography was excellent. Leonardo DiCaprio was amazing, Brad Pitt was funny and Margot Robbie was charming as usual. Its worth the watch but don't expect too much.",6
"With that said I am disappointed in CoG. The movie itself is quite good, a bit convoluted with to many subplots, but structured better than the first film. The problem is if you love Harry Potter's world you will see all the glaring errors done and all continuity faults.",6
"You can look at the menu, but you just can't eat. You can dip your foot in the pool, but you can't have a swim. You can see the summit but you can't reach it. Aspirations in the clouds but your hopes go down the drain.

No one is to blame... well actually somebody is. That's why producers make the big bucks, because they should know what formula makes a great show. But a critical ingredient has been left out of Lost in Space.

You have a Ferrari, but you're forced to drive the speed limit on a plain, circular track.

There's a reason so many Philip K. Dick stories have been made into movies and TV shows. That guy could write. That guy was creative.

Has the media industry with its vast resources lost its ability (or willingness) to write creative, unique, compelling, well-paced stories? If judged by Lost in Space, one would have to answer ""yes"". Even the list of awards tells the same story.

All the other ingredients are there. The special effects are extremely well done. Production values are high. Costume and Set Design is acceptable. Cinematography is pretty good. Actors are doing just fine. Actually the actors deserve kudos for some of the writing they have to endure.

I'm not knocking writers in general. I believe there are still genuinely creative, well trained, properly educated, clever writers out there. The producers must not desire to attract them to the show. Maybe they blew their budget on all the other ingredients. Maybe too much of the budget goes to profit or paying execs.

If you're going to drive around in circles at or below the 30 MPH, why do you need an expensive sports car?

If you're going to plod along episode after episode with mediocre drama and science, why do you need such a glamorous production?

In the episode I most recently watched, the daughter whines about how nobody likes her and she has no talents (she'd go eat worms but the planet doesn't have any). This pity party and her mother's doting responses make up an appreciable percentage of the episode's dialog. Now that is realistic to a point. Teenagers whine, teenagers are often self-absorbed, it's part of that phase of life. But that's pedantic and obvious for a sci-fi show! Save it for the after school comedy/drama or daytime soap opera. It's wasted potential on an interesting and unexplored alien world to dwell on teenage angst! Come on, get epic!

I can appreciate that she's whining actually, because she has nothing else to do as it takes the entire remainder of the cast to overcome the monumental number of contrived roadblocks necessary to lower her and her mom a rope and get on with the plot.

They are always in a desperate situation. It's so constant that you become numb to it, and danger no longer has any meaning. Seriously there's always a countdown going on (We have 56 minutes until the storm gets here! Then we all die! What's taking them so long! Ahh!) Sometimes I just want them to finally just all die so I can stop worrying so much about them (why am I using my free time to worry and bite my nails about fictional people - is this fulfilling?). The problem with this is that in all the extreme desperation and suspense there's no joy of discovery, of exploration, of new ideas and concepts. The problem with Lost in Space is ultimately all the lost potential that good writing could realize.

Again, the production values are great. This team can put anything on the screen visually and aurally and make it believable. So give us something amazing to believe in! Take us on a real journey. Give the Robinson family a breather from being on death's doorstep - get creative! Introduce us to alien societies, multiple worlds, mind bending science, multilayered plots with deep characters and unexpected (yet plausible and character driven) twists and turns, and yes action and suspense too (in appropriate quantities).

Actually some of the stuff they have come up with is pretty interesting. Like in season two the ecosystem of the planet they are on is very intriguing. But it doesn't get developed, it doesn't go anywhere fast. They are whetting my appetite with a bite of something gourmet then giving me a meal of fast food drama.

Last but not least, I'm afraid the show has a challenge developing characters. Characters don't have much depth. For those that are the cream of society I'd expect more maturity and complexity of thought, more philosophy (if they were given a chance to philosophize between all their near death experiences).

Dr. Smith is a caricature, not an actual complex character. A random number generator is not complicated, and they have made Dr. Smith too random, too volatile. A complex character is one the audience _thinks_ they have figured out but then they learn something new about them (through organic plot flow)- something new and unexpected but that is still consistent with the character's past actions. With Dr. Smith, by the end of season 1, I had given up trying to understand her and wrote her off as crazy and possibly not even truly conscious or self-aware. She is a pair of dice in overalls.

Maybe they are scared that if they use up all their ideas they won't have any left so they milk them too long. Part of me wonders if the studio just can't afford it. They may have great production tools but don't have the money to create very many virtual constructs and sets so they have to use them for a whole episode or two. Again like having a Ferrari but can't afford the gas or to build a nice racetrack.

I was hoodwinked by the production values into expecting a top-rated movie quality experience. What I learned is that it's still TV, and that computers have gotten good enough to give TV a very nice wrapping job.

If you are short on time and only have an hour or two for entertainment a week, I say get out while you can, because at the pace they are going they will barely scratch the surface of this universe before this show has run its course and is over or cancelled. If the show is lucky, it will be given enough warning to cram a bunch of contrived answers that don't quite make sense down the viewers' throats before the last episode.

If you have a more leisurely life, this is certainly better than a good amount of shows out there, watch it for the production values alone. It's also a good show to play in the background while you do homework or housework. Pay attention for a few minutes out of every 15 minutes and you'll get to enjoy the great special effects, see their well rendered CGI landscapes and weather phenomena, catch all the plot details that matter, and find out where this all ends up without feeling like you've wasted too much time.

Circling back around, this show is pretty close. They have the Ferrari, they have the good production team. If they can get the writing down, they can give us a really fun ride! So far though, it's almost more painful to see all the potential and watch it go unrealized, than if the production values weren't as high. I'd gladly sacrifice some production value for better storytelling.

Sorry, I'll keep my Cuban in the drawer. No cigar.

Just one other thought regarding the anti-""hater"" reviews. Disliking a _thing_ like a TV show doesn't make a person a hater. That term is overused and it desensitizes people to how extreme and deplorable true hate really is. Disliking a TV show, a music album, or a color doesn't make someone a bad person. Give people some leeway to have opinions. Come on, really.

Okay one more thing and I really will stop typing. The question below each and every review is ""Was this review helpful?"" It is NOT ""Do you agree with this review?"" But I guarantee, out of those that have seen the show, most of you that agree with me will say it was helpful, and most of you that don't will say it wasn't helpful. Now that's human nature. I'll be honest, I usually do the same thing.",6
First half does everything right and keeps you intrigued and laughing simultaneously. The second half and finale of this movie leaves you amazed that someone can botch such a work of art simply by not keeping it simple and consistent and opting for an attempt at a deep shocking firework conclusion. Rookie mistake. By giving this a 10 out of 10 you are simply dropping your standards and succumbing to media bias.,6
"If you have seen many Nolan films I feel you already expect a certain style of product walking into this film. I think it fulfills expectations there.

Great production values. Great actors making the most of what they have to play with. Great visuals and cgi. Tense atmospheric score and sound effects.

Sadly it doesn't really come together as a whole package. My opinion is there has been a steady downward trend in Nolan films since Inception (with the exception of The Dark Knight which was only elevated by Heath Ledger's epic performance). This film fits right in that trend.

IMO, many directors given the elements here would be able to craft a better film. Can't give it more than half marks.",5
"I don't care much for farce. Farce is a story where all the plot tension comes from a pretense. A quarter of the way into this, it's clear we're in the land of farce. Halfway in, we're bored and restless and merely waiting for the pretense to be caught out.

The cinematography is nice. The acting is competent. The struggle of class against class is forever relevant. But it's still farce.",3
"Take one fashionable screen writer. Add two fairly good actors. Have them play the mismatched kooky girl and the dull guy. Add one well-worn science fiction gimmick. Switch around in time (we're fashionable, remember). Shake, don't stir. The result, a herd-mentality flock of incredibly long-winded reviews.

I didn't like either one of these characters. I didn't care about their relationship. Concerning the lovely ending -- I give them six months! (Oh -- IMDb told me I need at least ten lines. Maybe that explains the lengthy reviews. I felt that my seven original lines were quite enough to give my opinion on this over-blown film.)",4
"Each episode makes it a series. It is interesting to see all characters playing for the story.

"A good to watch. Really good blend of situational Comedy and thriller.

The background music and the song in every serious situation is so good, that the combination will make you laugh genuinely.

Editing and screenplay is so good that I never felt like boring at any time.

Almost every actor did theri job really good.

Rajkumar Rao is as usual really good with his acting, expression and dialogue deliver as well.

Huma, Sikander and Radhika apte also did a really good job.

It's kind of film which would be liked by almost evryone who loves movies.

Wish it could have been released in theatre. Could have been a hit.",8
"Totally agree with the users speaking out on Russell Crowe Crowe and Jennifer Connelly (as eye-candy radiant as ever) for their easily superior turns in ""The Insider"" and ""Requiem for a Dream"" (in turn easily superior to ""Mind""). Now, on to this picture, which I feel is the worst of the Best Picture nominees this year.....

Walking into the theatre beforehand I was well-aware the film was under a considerable amount of critical fire for glossing over Mr. Nash, the individual - making him out to be way too much of a saint - and his accomplishments. Now I must concede that - bearing in mind there's a great deal of validity to all those objections - however you want to cut it, film is just NOT the best medium to resort to for accuracy and factual glut to satisfy the average viewer. War extravaganzas like the recent ""Black Hawk Down"" and ""Pearl Harbor"" are glaring examples of such a fault.

But even looking past what the film is lacking in biographical substance (not very easy), there's not a whole lot in ""A Beautiful Mind"" to recommend here:

* John Forbes Nash as Crowe capably inhabits him is awfully hard to care about from beginning to end, despite the fact that the actor labors hard to flesh Nash out. He's fighting a screenplay that is far more concerned with the delusions haunting him than anything as substantial as his real life, or who HE was.

* Ed Harris and Christopher Plummer, each a great actor in a rather thankless role.

* It painted a portrait of schizophrenia that came off as, for the most part, pedestrian next to others found in the likes of, say, Darren Aronofsky's ""Pi"" and ""Fight Club"".

* This portrait is worsened by moments supposed to incite laughter from the audience as a result of Nash's illness.

* It sprung a 'twist' halfway through that came off like lazy screenwriting or a half-baked rehash of the Revelation concerning people who don't actually exist, something Hollywood ought to retire for a while.

* Not an iota of depth, but a good dose of superficiality, is to be found in the movie's depiction of why Mr. Nash was such a brilliant mathematician or what attracted Alicia Larde to him in the first place. Or why she put up with Nash so long. (Alicia is underwritten to such a great extent, you have to admire that Jennifer Connelly doesn't emerge as defeated from the screenplay as you would think, either.)

* It actually left me wondering, like many Miramax-backed yarns of late, whether the central motivation behind its making was to win Oscars - not exactly an uplifting feeling, but then again, I guess the movie must have failed in its obvious attempts near the end to inspire that.



For all the faults of ""Moulin Rouge"", ""Gosford Park"", ""Lord of the Rings"" and several other films that didn't make the Best Picture cut, but should have, at least they didn't seem nearly as calculated, and had far more interesting methods of storytelling guiding them. (The fine Apollo 13 aside, I feel Ron 'Opie' Howard's talent is vastly overrated.) Neither did many of them seem to overstay their welcome as much as ""A Beautiful Mind"" (over 2 hours long).

There are spots where the movie simply DRAGS, and threatens to drag the viewer's opinion of the proceedings down with it, despite the valiant efforts of Crowe and Connelly to inject some interest factor into Akiva Goldsman's predictable screenplay (Golden Globe worthy my A$$). At times they almost succeeded. In the end, they are the only elements of the movie worth all the Oscar buzz. Should you be in search of an adequate starting showcase for their talent, but not much more, look no further and check this one out, but brace yourself for the running time.",4
"Extremely Prescient Considering Recent Political Events in America.

Writer-Director David O. Russell, for Some Reason, Decided to Tell the Tale of ""The Business Plot"", in a Farcical Comedy Format.

That of the Business Cabal, Including ""Henry Ford"" and Numerous Other Big-Business Tycoons Attempt at Replacing FDR.

Without an Election, with ""Smedley Butler"", An Honorable and Popular ""General"", Hoping that the Military Leaders and Soldiers Would Follow.

All the While in Cahoots with ""Hitler"" and ""Mussolini"".

When it Failed, Outed by ""Gen. Butler"" Himself, the Story Faded From the Headlines, and as Usual the Devious ""Money-Men"" were Never Held Accountable.

The Outrageous Event Even Avoided Coverage in School Textbooks and is Little-Known Today.

This is the Surprising Story that this Movie is About at its Core.

What is even More Surprising is that Russel Chose to Uncover it for Modern Audiences in His Over-The-Top Method.

It's just too Important for such Wimsey.

That Being Said, at Least it's Being Told in a Climate of Disrepair that Currently Exists in America in the 21st Century.

Christian Bale and Margot Robbie, Pull Rabbits From Their Hats and Embark in a Wildly Audacious Dramatic-Comedy Adventure with Shenanigans Galore.

They Seem to be ""Winking"" at the Camera the Whole Way.

The Story is Told in Flash-Backs Within Flash-Backs, in Glorified Saturated Imagery with Costuming, Makeup, and Set Design Beautifully, if Edgy, Eye-Popping in its Outrageousness.

The Important Event, Vacant from the Public's Consciousness, may Still Elude Those Not Paying Close Attention to the Seriousness of it All.

Even Those Who Are, could Still Be Lost in the Jumble of Russell's Technique and Style.

A Shame Really, because Bale and Robbie, with Fine Tag-Along Support, Give it Their All in a Montage of Whip-Lash Tones and Pacing.

It's a Film that Requires Multiple Viewings to Grasp the ""Real"" from the ""Artistry"".

It Overwhelms the Obvious Nature of the Intrigue and Drowns the Good with a Lot of Bad.

Extremely Underrated by those Professional Critics, that Admit Sometimes They had No Idea that this is a Mostly True Event.

"Just finished watching The Umbrella Academy's season 1 and 2.. and let me tell you.. it is one of the best shows I've seen on Netflix. A brilliant mix of black comedy and action..Simply, a job well done by the director and the cast. Number Five is my favourite out of all, he better be a teenager in season 3 also. The season 1 was excellent, but the 2nd one exceeded all my expectations, just outstanding.. Highly RECOMMENDED By me.",9
"Let's be honest, there's nothing from any media that deserves a 10/10, especially for crap like this, how is this movie 8.7? How unfair, while good Spiderman movies like Tobey Maguire's 1 and 2 got a low rating, horrible movies like this one that was made just to make fanfic and please Marvel addicts, Poor, horrible and pointless script, Exaggerated CGI and extremely unnecessary with a horrible direction, I think the only argument people find this movie good and get a 10 for these people addicted to Marvel, It's precisely because of having the 3 Spider-Man together, and of course, Exaggerated CGI with several clichés that every little fan from Marvel likes it, sincerely

grade 2/10.",2
"What happened to the imagination, creativity, interesting characters, engaging dialogues, and the good story?

It seemed like 90% of this movie was back to back to back fighting and shooting scenes.

Even the best ones get old after an extended period of time. The first John Wick was way better.

It's unfortunate because some extra effort in actually making at least a good and memorable movie could've made this series a true classic worth watching again.

But I guess this type of movie is what's popular to many people, which reveals a lot.

Not really looking forward to Chapter 3, though my husband and I rented all three.",2

Honestly Hollywood been running this idea of that every islamic country is supposedly run by a dictator who is bad in every possible way and been killing innocent people and and then Few brave American soldiers comes and wins the day and make the country safe Again..Wow i used to like less propaganda movies but nowadays 🤷‍♂️ And Tbh apart form Ryan Reynolds acting there was nothing good in the movie,3
"With film, I am really easy to please, but this film was depressing. It had an unusual emptiness. My biggest criticism is how morose this movie is, and my review stems largely from that more than it does from basic film elements and story elements.

It has two excellent actors and that's why I sat through the entire movie. Visually it was great. Acting was great. Special-effects was good. The story held together and had a semi unique concept at the very end. But every scene went from dread and emptiness to more dread and emptiness. Even the excitement wasn't exciting. There was no drive. It's not just the choice of topics. I can handle a movie about the end of the world. I can even handle a movie where everyone actually dies. My problem wasn't with the topic. It was that there was no spark or passion in this film. It was like the embodiment of a boring neighbor, who tells you about the weather.

Even when the main characters are in a predicament, I didn't feel myself rooting for them. I wasn't really interested in all the symbolism that led to the final revelation at the end. I've seen so many other films handle symbolic presentations so much better. I guess some people liked the great aha moment at the end but to me, it was a bit kindergarten-ish. I don't like bashing a movie, but I really have only a few good things to say.",4

"Die hard TopGun fan here, for more than 35 years. When I heard there was going to be a sequel, i was both ecstatic and terrified. What if it was bad?

Is it bad? Well... it is so very predictable, sorry to say. I was hurting watching it. Probably it was a lot of fun for Tom Cruise to make the movie and we are all spoiled with super beautiful Jennifer Connelly, but the plot is just too weak. Any random movie star making a movie with this storyline would have flopped badly.

I'm almost sad I watched it, this is definitely not a worthy sequel.

I will watch the original anytime with a smile on the face, but will avoid the sequel. And I'm still one of the biggest TopGun fans, will be forever.",4
This movie started off ok but the longer it went on it just wasn't going anywhere and it got more and more boring and stupid. I fast forwarded the last half an hour and it was still boring and tedious with nothing really going on. Wouldn't watch again and certainly wouldn't recommend unless someone upset me. Crap.,1
"Bill Murray did very well at playing a man in mid-life crisis, and in that role he was quite boring and morose. The acting was in fact very good, but the overall plot was thin and the editing was a bit too stark.

"""The Fabelmans"", Steven Spielberg's new film, is so personal that it is difficult to comment or evaluate, its script is a masterpiece in the construction of characters, all extremely three-dimensional, broken, loving and charismatic, perhaps the construction or events, mainly in the core Sammy's development process can be a little uncomfortable, however, as the facts are based on memories of one of the greatest film directors of all time, it makes mistakes banal and gives the work a magical tone. The direction is calm, contained, with simple plans and great shots, always looking for the emotional side of its characters, the soundtrack is fantastic, the photography changes according to the location of the characters and the pace is good. One of the highlights is the acting, all the characters are fantastic, but Michelle Willians is impeccable, playing an anguished character full of sentimental contraventions, and the actress manages to express all sides of that feeling. 8/10.",8
Totally cliche with no creativity. Had quite a few technical inadequacies.,5
"The name Sherlock Holmes evokes an image of a suave, debonair man of impeccable taste and stalwart character, and then there is this movie which offers a new take on the Sherlock Holmes persona, this time as a frumpish, mumbling, annoying buffoon. True, Sherlock does display fleeting moments of lucidity and genius but for the most part he is a mess. Yet the audience is asked to believe that this broken down Scotland Yard reject can solve complex crimes, beat up the toughest toughs and be involved with a beautiful woman, all of this without any evidence that he actually baths. The only credible part of the movie is the scene where the audience finds out that Holmes hasn't been out of his apartment in weeks, but that is where Sherlock Holmes belongs because on the street he is merely a nuisance, and an annoying nuisance at that. There is no way that this Sherlock Holmes could possibly defeat Professor Moriarity. Holmes is so befuddled that at times he sounds incoherent yet the audience is asked to believe that this man, who at one point manages to get himself shackled to a bed, can actually solve crimes when he has hard time just leaving his apartment. The only thing bleaker than Holmes is London itself. The city is dreary, filthy, dismal and probably reeking with odors, a perfect setting for this downtrodden Holmes and his prissy companion Dr. Watson. Now regarding Dr. Watson .... I'll leave that alone for now.",3
It amazes me how different a super hero series can be. The story is absolutely amazingly beautiful and fun. Even the comic scenes work. All the actors are well performed and Kate Walsh who plays the villian reminds me how Jessica Lange played some of her characters in AHS. Encore!,9
"The running time of Doctor Strange was 2 hpurs 6 minutes but I had had enough after 70 minutes and left,

A messy and film which was overlong and just plain silly! The storyline was also confusing

On the positive side the film had great special effects and Dominic Cumberbatch was great. The costumes and sets were also good as was some of the script. The music was also good. Also good to see Patrick Stewart, Charlize Theron and a few other well known faces

However, our overall verdict is a messy film which I would not pay and go to see having gone to a private viewing. Could have been far far better

It was rather disappointing and I have been left wondering why on earth the Daily Mail gave it 5 Stars! Not half as good as the original Dr Strange film.",4
"The environment is wrong. Sure Dhaka has slums and dirty places, but most of the city is developed enough with an actual nice road system. If they set the scene somewhere else in Bangladesh, it would've been more convincing. The roads are basically dirt roads in this movie where Dhaka has one of the best road systems in the Country. Dhaka doesn't have that kinda dense jungle anywhere near the city, certainly not near the Buriganga river.

The criminal class in Bangladesh is completely different. This isn't Africa, people don't employ child soldiers here. And certainly carry Ak-47 in hand and in the open.

The Police uniform and looks are completely misjudged. They are trying to portray the elite force of Bangladesh, Known as Rapid Action Battalion. They are not regular police. They deal with counter-terrorism and similar stuff. It should've been the police that deals with criminal or action in the street. Police vehicles are wrong. Don't get me wrong, the entire movie is brilliantly shot and exceptionally action-packed. But this provides a complete misrepresentation of Bangladesh, as well as the city of Dhaka. People who don't have an idea about Bangladesh will get a false sense for a beautiful country by the misrepresented set of this movie.

And finally the accents. the accent of the locals are wrong, they are speaking in an accent that's commonly used in West Bengal, India. Dhaka and People in Bangladesh, in General, have a completely different accent.

In one word production team fu*ked a good story.",1
"Saw this via HBO on demand 12/9/17.

I found myself watching the clock after Emma Stone's first audition scene. The word ""insipid"" could have been invented with this over-praised movie in mind. If ""La La Land"" contains any harvestable celluloid --or even Mylar - let it be recycled for ukulele picks at the earliest opportunity.

All of the no-dance dance numbers, the prole-music songs, the mediocre scene-study acting add up to an excellent reason to stick with YouTube, public library DVD collections, and any remaining used book stores. With their many improbable finds, all of the latter are superior ways to find entertainment, intellectual stimulation, or simply the inducement of sleep. Even sitting in a corner doing nothing is a less expensive way to waste two hours and eight minutes. There is better production design and more imaginative cinematography to be found in your average halftime television commercial.

And yet: Six (6) Oscars: Emma Stone (actress); Damien Chazelle (director) as well as cinematography, music, song, and production design. Even more Golden Globes. If La La Land is what it looks like these days to be in contention for a Best Motion Picture award, the end of cinema is upon us.",3
"Disappointed, Oh yes I am Disappointed. Why, Because I had high expectations. Why I had High Expectations? Because Nolan's History of Film making was what I was confident about. Memento, The Dark Knight are the two Movies which got a 10/10 and 9/10 rating from me respectively. But Inception, It was neither Memento, Nor The Dark Knight. It was more of a screenplay forcing you to believe it and to make it look genuine BUT with flawed ways and formulaic techniques which didn't work for me.Other than that it was fine. Visuals, Performances, Editing were all fine and the Camera Used for the movie was not the perfect choice. Direction as usual was POWERFUL but it was the story that didn't really appealed me.

"The second season is no where as tight or funny as the first. Thrown into this mess is a totally woke storyline.

And the show really suffers because of it.

Look for Trump bashng even tho he hasnt been in office for 2 years. But it doesnt stop there.

A few episodes in there is an entire gay thing inserted that has even less to do with the plot. WHY? I hve no objection to some gay theme if it fits with the story. This doesnt. It goes no where and is clearly added just to tick a gay box.

It's the equiviant of having an entire episode devoted to Julia Child. Completely useless. It just takes away from the plot..

So sad..

Watch the first season and dont be tempted to with Season TWO.",2
"While ""Glass Onion"" is visually dynamic with good pacing and a compelling plot line, it simply doesn't match the total package provided in its original, ""Knives Out."" In fact, being associated with the well-written and directed first version is a big part of the problem. If ""Glass Onion"" were released as its own film with no association to KO, it might be better accepted. ""Knives Out"" was a reasonably realistic story with well-defined characters we identified with very quickly, which helped draw the audience into the film. It used dry humor and wit to drive home its points. ""Glass Onion,"" in contrast, is based upon an absurd, convoluted and childish plot that would be more appropriate in a superhero movie than an adult mystery. It is entirely unbelievable by any stretch of the imagination. The characters in this film don't use snappy dialogue and sharp retorts, they scream obnoxious and idiotic nonsense as if noise is supposed to make up for lack of a meaningful script. The cast of ""Knives Out"" was well-chosen, displaying chemistry with each other and the audience throughout its run time. In GO, chemistry between the players is absent; even Daniel Craig's inspector portrayal is reduced to a caricature in this sequel. ""Glass Onion"" is not an absolute disaster. It works as pass-the-time entertainment, offering enough visual stimulation to hold our attention. In the end, though, it's a loud, over-the-top hollow shell surrounded by pretty packaging and bows.",4
"Bad writing, bad acting, cheesy. The only thing slightly entertaining are some of the hand to hand fights but it gets old after 100 times.",4
A typical michael bay movie....the worst director ever,5
"I will keep watching, but I've found it difficult to get invested in this series. Too many blonde wigs, which look especially ridiculous on the black characters, and too many people named Aegon. The casting change didn't help. I can't believe they couldn't have found actresses who could have played the role of both younger and older characters, given that they had only aged a few years.

I've also found it hard to care who wins the rivalry over the Iron Throne. Did they add even more swords to it? Seemed ridiculous in the last episode. There isn't much else at stake, unless the Crab People somehow get more interesting.

In the original, there was the whole ""winter is coming""/Whitewalkers/threat from beyond The Wall. Nothing like that here. Nor do I care which children ascend to positions of power. I guess I should be grateful that the blonde wigs help me remember who is legitimate and who is illegitimate (black hair).

I'm hoping something happens that makes me want to change this review.",4
"Even thou it was very cool to hear about the refraction and wavelengths and refracting DNA and the thoughts about life mutating and changing, it was all contained in some 15 minutes of the movie, the rest of the movie: A void with Natalie Portman on the screen.",2
"At first i was a little sceptic to watch this one, mostly because of the mostly negative reviews and that Sandra Bullock play's the main character.

I was positively suprised afterwards. Sandra play's a decent role and acting was good. The story is just fine but not great. The purpose of the birds stay's a little bit behind for me, or i missed a clue? Many people say this is a Ripoff from a quiet place. A quiet place is definitely a better movie, but you can't really compare them.

Pro's

Decent story
Decent acting from Sandra


Cons",7
"I am so over the ""married men are idiots, not romantic and embarrassing in public"". Also the whole ""middle class people have no etiquette and can't be around wealthy people without acting like complete morons"" Both of those scenarios are played to death and are lame at this point. The movie is filled with stupid cliches and it is hard to watch. Kind of like they said ok lets write a list of every stupid stereotype of a middle class married couple and play it over the top.

I generally enjoy Anniston and Sandler. They should have passed on this one.",2
Don't even waste ur time on this. A movie with a star studded line up and dry pointless plot.,2
"Of cause we love Sam's acting, enhances every movie he involved. But this time two little boys are really eye catching,

I really love the styling, outfits for Scarlett is chic with a touch of that era, even the Jewish girl outfit, they put afford on it.

Story is simple and lovely, a bit like Disneyland tale, good to have other emotion to talk about the dark era other than extreme sadness.",7
"If you guys have seen 'Forever' (which should have been continued) then you won't be amazed with the core concept.

Now I can understand that the makers must have felt these questions daunting them. A lot of others have used it, how to make it fresh?!

So what they did is they changed the climax. But these kind of fantasy stories don't have substantial things to say in the end and THAT'S what they changed. They leave a message which isn't the case usually.",7
"The casting is great, the story is intriguing albeit a tad bit confusing timeline wise and effects are generally good with some exceptions. It starts off a bit slow, but it really picks up as we get further into the season. Dialogue is a bit wooden at certain points, but nothing to major. The world building is great and so is the spectacular action sequences. If you have a Netflix subscription and are not too averse to fantasy then this series is a must watch. This is a series where paying close attention is rewarding, being too distracted however for certain sections will leave you lost on the story.",8
"Although Netflix took it over, it's also a goog TV show. Love it. Its plots are full of imagination and fun or ridiculousness. However, sometimes the show is way much ridiculous. It seems so unreal for Asian audience......",8
"First, if you like the games or the books, this show is not for you. Not a faithful representation of any of the characters (Dandillion is a one-dimensional idiot, Geralt is a one-dimensional skeptic, and then Triss and Yenefer basically swap personalities only suddenly neither seem all that bright), and it misses the whole atmosphere of a world where an oppressed and outwardly stoic Witcher tries to remain uninvolved but ends up having too much of a heart of gold.

But if you're not familiar with either, which I wasn't when I first started watching, I would still say it's not great for a show made in 2022. None of the characters are all that likeable or relatable. The most powerful sorceress main character always loses when she fights men, and finally, when she does technically win a major fight, she sacrificed so much that it's still not a personal win. After a few introductory episodes, she also has almost her whole personality boiled down to ""I am infertile but want to have a baby,"" which, to be fair, was a minor plot point in the books (which were written forty years ago; you'd think writers would have learned to write more realistic and complex women than they did back around when the US equal rights amendment first failed to be ratified). Other than that, it's just your basic sexist male fantasy show that tries to appear woke and diverse. Sorta enjoyable, but with mediocre acting and occasional bouts of bad writing.",1
The movie was an average one the only good thing about this movie is Performances especially of cooper everything else was just (even below average somewhere) they should come up a new realistic idea,5
Not your ordinary super hero story. Can't wait for season 3.,8
The was this too in Germany... Good people and kids.,7
"Yes, sure, the Holmes character in Doyle's original was a skilled fighter, enjoyed opium, and could be quite prickly. I don't think that justifies this treatment of him as a scruffy, debauched, out-of-control lout, constantly in and out of brawls and prison. The angry, irritable Watson character here has little in common with the sycophantic Watson of the books and stories, who devoted his life to chronicling Holmes' remarkable mind. This is 21st century version of Holmes owes more to Bruce Willis and Mel Gibson movies than to Conan Doyle.

There are far too many fights and chase scenes here, far too little ratiocination. The plot of this story is also unworthy of Doyle -- an attempt to turn the murders and intrigues of the original stories into a vast, dark Da Vinci Code conspiracy.

It's as though they cobbled this together using focus groups and formulas. Take one part National Treasure, one part Bond movie, combine with Lethal Weapon, insert special effect etc.

Despite all the noise and action, I was constantly bored. I turned the movie off several times, had a hard time seeing it through to the end. (Another annoying thing: Though Downey does a creditable British accent, he mumbles constantly. You will need a good sound system to make out his words. And no, the problem is not the authenticity of his accent. Jude Law is quite easy to understand.)

Somewhere in between the starchy Holmes character played by Jeremy Brett and the dumb buddy-cop version here lies the true character.

I would not recommend this movie to anyone of any age at any time.",2
"Wow the ending had to be the most drawn out, over sentimental, obvious ending I have ever seen. Shame they didn't stop it after they ran out of ideas, which was probably at the end of series 2 if not series 1.",1
"I see people saying ""not necessary"" ""we want action"" ""don't care about black and white"". Be curious, come on! Enjoy the show, enjoy the game (because that's what it is) and don't be so lazy. It's obvious something is going to happen so let's wait and see. I do like MCU and this is probably the most interesting thing I've seen, stands out from the others. Not to mention the acting in good and details are great.",9
"I have to confess to being a little perplexed and intrigued by the trailer for this film and was certain that it had to be checked out. What an original and amazing film it was. Rejuvenating the Kung-Fu genre in its totally out there form. Funning, startling and at times plain cute, this really was an adventure at the cinema. Go see if for yourself! Chow uses special effects in a masterly fashion, like a painter with a vast and varied palette. The cast are spectacular and their puny looking bodies make the stunts that much more exciting. The land-lady's facial expressions are the stuff of acting genius. In fact the whole look and feel of this film are truly wondrous.",8
"A 9.3 For First Season And 9.5 for Season 2.

First of all an important note ,people who have missed this need to know that its just because of less advertisement of this series...but this series completely outwits other Sherlock Holmes series and movies of all times..

Personally i don't like the brilliant novels of Sir Aurthur Canon Doyle to be spoiled by any poor cinematic projection and especially not a modernized version.....but No this series completely passes this arguments and is a must watch for all Sherlock fans and mystery lovers..

The whole plot and events take place in modern day London where The great Sherlock Holmes and Dr.Watson solve mystery cases just like novels.All the episodes are based on novels but whats new is brilliant conversion of script to suite modern times without altering anything in the main story moreover leaving it with a brilliant touch.BBC team of Sherlock has uniquely used modern techniques to enhance the imagery projection of Sherlock so that you can feel more closeness towards his way of looking towards crime scenarios and other preceding events. events.Benedict Cumber batch(Sherlock) and Martin Freeman(Dr.Watson) have beautifully and artistically portrayed their roles and their acting is just Sublime.All the other characters have also acted very very well in the series.Each episodes runs for 90 minutes which gives each of them enough time to represent versatile details of Sherlock and Watson adventures.The first season was surprisingly excellent and the second one incredibly brilliant.The character of Moriarty is so amazingly played by Andrew Scott that his performance in last episode of season two left me completely speechless,he even surpasses Sherlock(Benedict)there. Overall its completely outstanding to invest any money or time....just go for it.I only get upset with lesser number of episode in each season,only three but yes each season covers about seven and half hour which is not that bad....but still i wished to see more of this series. (season 3 in 2013)....",9
Nuclear meltdown is scary. There were many heroic Russians. Fantastic series.,9
"Terrible plot, boring, cash-machine type of movie. Johhny Depp? Give me a break. Leo diCaprio in the next one?

Another thing I found interesting is the American in the movie is a fat goofy ball. What a cheap joke this movie is.",4
200% marks to the team Well Done. We need more like this from you guys,10
"The movie was really boring for me in most times, finishes with many unanswered questions. There are just cople of good scenes. I think some writers have no idea what open ended means. I don't recommend at all.",4
"Season 4 is halfway through already, and I have gone back once again to re-watch the previous seasons, and it truly is a masterpiece on all levels. I had to pause S1E06 just now to write this review as 9 minutes into that episode had me crying again.

I have been watching AoT since 2013, eagerly awaiting each new episode and season, and it's hard to believe the series is ending very soon. ""Don't be sad that it's over, be happy that it happened"", and all that...

For a time my top 3 running shows were GoT, Vikings, and AoT. Sadly, GoT collapsed before the finish line, Vikings slowly fizzled out in quality after its fourth season, yet Attack on Titan has held strong and not only remained brilliant, but actually improved in many ways as the show progressed, which is incredibly rare.

I still to this day listen to the amazing soundtrack while doing other things, and each time I return to watching the show, it's hard to pinpoint anything bad about it really. And I know some people will say that AoT is overrated, and I might have thought that at some points in the show also, such as at various points in Season 2 and 3, but when you see how it all connects together and makes overall sense in the macro, some seemingly weaker aspects or things that appear nonsensical, overly contrived or dramatized at the time, make sense upon revisiting it, or at least that was my experience.

Anyway, I would give Attack on Titan a 10/10 simply because it is so intensely watchable, engaging, inspiring, epic, thought-provoking, anti-war, spine-chilling, horrifying at times, emotional and tear-inducing.

If you liked the early seasons of Game of Thrones, Vikings, Breaking Bad, Fullmetal Alchemist, and other similar shows, then Attack on Titan is indeed for you.

Now to slowly endure the agonising anticipation for each new and final episode of the last season...

P.S. - a good companion documentary to this is Dominion (2018)",7
"Well...we have seen many TV-series who were trying to capture the attention of viewers. From changes of situation and spectacular effects, but none had the intense feeling that 24 has it. Jack Bauer, even if it is the binding part of all 5 series, he manage to remain a total surprise and still the great, good, and humane guy. All the CTU staff changes, but Jack remains, even though with career changes (like in real life). The crisis he's facing are not new in TV-series and cinema plots, but somehow...they are different put in the context of real-life changes (Al-Qaeda threat, the Islam terrorist conspiracies, Russian mob ability to create problems everywhere, and European agencies, whether they are governmental or rogue).

Jack Bauer loves like all we do, with passion, jealousy and with all his heart, he hates like all we do, with desire to kill that person (but only he is allowed, cause he has a badge :P ), to torture and to make them pay for all the suffering they caused, he is ingenious like McGyver, he has the skills of Stallone in RAMBO, anyhow, this mixture is a great public success.

In my opinion, this series deserve all the credit, all the awards, and the directors and the actors were above all expectations. I remember the days and nights i waited to see yet another episode of 24, the disappointment i had when one series was over, the joy to find out it will continue, and so on.

Basically, 24 rules !!!",10
"The characters in the series have no depth. You know nothing about them and it wouldnt get any better the more you watch. I wish Netflix writers would have spent more time on developing more relatable characters who had some background to make them deeper.

So many scenes are hard to make sense. How some characters can walk around overtly in a battle field or in a city breeched by enemies without being seen. That accounts for poor directorship.

These are usually the problem with Netflix-made movies and series. They spend in too many projects at the cost of not paying attention to details, character development, entertaining story-telling and good directorial aspects of their products.",6
"Just finished the season, while I understand people's immediate reaction is to compare it to GoT - don't. Witcher may be the best book > video game > live action transition ever.

It's not perfect. Neither was GoT, neither was LotR. However, it has far exceeded my (admittedly low) expectations. Sure, there's always room for nitpicking... and fans of high fantasy are probably the most nit-picky... but this series is a gem. It's no wonder why it's the highest rated Netflix original yet.

People who're into the genre should be glad that shows such as this and GoT are as good as they are, given flop after flop of book to video game, video game to movie, book to movie transitions go.

If anything, it gives me even more anxiety towards upcoming LotR series on Amazon!

Well done.",6
"The Witcher is an amazing TV show that you definitely don't want to miss. Based on the book series, it brings to life the thrilling adventures of Geralt of Rivia, played brilliantly by Henry Cavill. The show is packed with action, magic, and monsters, creating a captivating fantasy world. The production value is top-notch, with stunning visuals and epic battle scenes that will leave you on the edge of your seat. The storytelling is intricate, with multiple timelines that gradually converge, adding depth and intrigue to the plot. The characters are complex and well-developed, each with their own unique stories and motivations. The Witcher strikes a perfect balance between thrilling action sequences and emotional character moments. It's a show that keeps you hooked from start to finish. With its rich lore, engaging storytelling, and stellar performances, The Witcher is a must-watch for any fan of fantasy and adventure. So grab some snacks, get comfy, and prepare to be transported to a world of monsters and destiny! Enjoy the ride!",8
"this movie does not deserve to sit so high on sci-fi or overall rankings. i enjoyed the movie, but it does not deserve to be ranked above 2001, has everyone lost their damned minds! i only gave it a one to offset all the people overrating it. come to think of it, its not exactly heavy on the typical sci-fi, its really more of a romantic comedy/drama. i still cant believe this is rated higher than 2001, which is better than star wars, actually, but does not have the rabid, retarded fans that are required to get a movie into first place, jeez...does't anyone look at AFI's list for top rankings? this movie wouldn't even crack the top 500!",1
"I couldn't see how they could scew this up after such a great first movie, but they did. Jokes weren't funny, ridiculous premise, and no character worth caring about.

Watched it yesterday was expecting something extraordinary but other than some action scenes it was quet mediocre,3
"In a word: Disappointment. For all the hype, this is a laborious movie at best. Another example of a poor sequel. The movie was a disappointing follow up to ""Batman Begins"". Christian Bale's performance was acceptable in terms of what the character of Batman/Bruce Wayne would allow in cinema. Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker was one-dimensional and predictable. Sorry Heath, but Jack Nicholson and even Cesar Romero (Joker from the TV series) have you beat easily. As an actor, I really don't see what all the hype is about with Heath Ledger. The choice of Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel was not entertaining at all. There's just nothing there in this performance. Ms. Gyllenhaal as an actress is above average, but there wasn't much to this role. Don't blame her. Appearances by Morgan Freeman and Micheal Cain are always bonuses to any film. The one bright spot (acting wise) was the performance of Aaron Echart (Harvey Dent). Nice range. This is one film I don't need to see again. Side note: This would not be an entertaining film for kids (9rs+) at all. The gadgets and special effects were flat and most of the times flew by at such a rate of speed that you could scarce take them in. Too bad. The story and character of Batman deserves much better.",5
"Does anyone ever asked the question about what is the best movie ever made? The movie that never get wrong in conveying its history and get right on all the points? The film that is very close to the word ""perfection""? Well, ""The Godfather"" parts 1-2-3 are undoubtedly the answer to this question. Separate the 3 movies and judge them separately is easy. Of course the 1st is where we get marveled, and the other two we had already noted some mistakes, but that's why the three movies together are not only a masterpiece from Francis Ford Coppola but also (perhaps) the best story ever told in a movie.

While in the 1st part, we are introduced to the Italian mob-family the Corleone's facing various threats from rival mob-families. That forces Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) tries to push his youngest son Michael (Al Pacino), to be his successor and be the next family's godfather; In part 2, we have the exact continuation of the story of Michael in the power of the family trying to raise the family business to other countries but he ends up making mistakes along the way. And simultaneously, we have the story of the young Vito Corleone (Robert De Niro) showing how he came to America and started raising his family; And finally the 3rd and last part we see a older Michael Corleone, suffering from mistakes that he committed in the past. But now he tries to redeem himself before his children Anthony (Franc D' Ambrosio) and Mary (Sofia Coppola) and his family trying to finally legalize the family business going into business with the Vatican and elect his nephew Vincent Mancini (Andy Garcia) as the new family godfather. But the dangers have always followed the Corleone's closely.

As I said, all parts form the masterpiece that Mario Puzo (Screenwriter) and Francis Ford Coppola (director and screenwriter) brought to the world with his vision of the Italian mafia. Many criticize the film by worshiping the Italian Mafia, which it technically does, but the way that both genius explore it is fantastic.

Throughout the history of the Corleone's, Coppola and Puzo explore the life and business of the mafia and how it works, demonstrating the business and the wars between the Mafia families that are shown realistically and terrifying. BUT, it is not just a story of violence and tragedy as many accuse (which is 60 % of it), because as the film progress it raises throughout the history various concepts of honor, justice and family, all revolving around the Corleone. Making the public really feel part of the family and start to worry about each family member in all parts of the story, at the same time with the family business and his honor.

The writing from Puzo and Coppola help much in this regard. The script is extremely ""perfect"" in all parts. The narrative is so superb that it never gets boring or leave loose ends, and always raise the values of honor and family through the best dialogs ever put on film. But Puzo and Coppola can make these long dialogs in simple conversations between human beings facing their problems, putting ourselves in their situations and relating with them, leaving the film more exciting and engaging.

But Coppola not only explores the Italian mafia and their families but also puts at various points in American history: the first part is right after the 2nd World War and Michael is a war hero returning home, but he ends up becoming the godfather from his family; on the 2nd part in the history of young Vito Corleone we see him coming in America at the time of the great Italian immigration meeting the ""American Dream""; on the 3rd part with Michael going into business with the Vatican we see a huge line of corruption and murder within the church .

Both in writing and directing the film is excellent too but the performances are the highlights of the movie: Al Pacino is excellent in every detail with a penetrating gaze and frightening expressions (and still annoys me that in 3 films he didn't get a Oscar for his role); Robert De Niro is a perfect young Vito Corleone in both voice and gestures reminding us of the badass and unforgettable old man from the first part with a simply perfect performance from Marlon Brando.

Many say that the 3rd part should never be connected to the first two for be to horrible. I think the film is still a masterpiece but obviously it has his inconveniences leaving loose ends like: what happened with Tom (Robert Duvall), the family's lawyer, he died or he started his own family as he wanted in part 2? And also adds a lot of plots and little development, at least in the 1st hour of the film. But after a huge chopper scene everything settles superbly and concludes the trilogy or rather the film perfectly.

Simply putted is the best movie ever made, the drawbacks and inconveniences are almost invisible (except in the 3rd part). Concepts of honor and family within the Mafia; full of suspense and drama; criticizes America and the church. All this in a movie with excellent performances, direction and writing simply perfect. All that makes ""The Godfather"", the strongest brand of cinema till today 10/10",10
"The consensus is that this show is just great, but I am a contrarian here. I find the Wednesday character's deadpan and serious portrayal uninteresting, annoying and humorless. The expected Addams Family campiness and their winking and being in on the joke about their over-the-top gruesomeness is completely absent - except when the other family members themselves show up. The consistently strange thing is that the students at the school for outcasts who are werewolves, sirens, ghouls and the like seem more 'normal' and freaked out by the supernatural than the actual normal folks in the neighboring town. The overall writing and overarching story line is generally pretty good but I for the most part can't stand Wednesday's on-screen presence which kind of makes watching this show a chore rather than a pleasure for me.",4
The action in this film is realistic and awesome. I would say nothing but amazing for it. This movie can be used to learn how to make action sequences real and satiafing. The story is pretty straightforward. It's pretty much like a rescue operation and you will not able to relate to other characters other than Chris Hemsworth and somewhat the kid.,7
"Classic tear jerker film, the interesting thing being that the lead is a schizo/genius and played by the charismatic Mr Crowe. Has some unusual plot devices (for it's time, although these plot devices have now become common).

The romantic relationship lacks credibility as Crowe and Connelly just don't seem to 'click' and for me, this lets the whole movie down. Highly watchable, like a lot of Ron Howard films, but, like a lot of Ron Howard films, you feel like you're having obvious emotional buttons pushed when you have to get your hankie out to wipe your tears away, sob, ugh.",6
"Tyler Rake is a mercenary and a retired military soldier who served in Afghanistan. His services are required by an agency run by a brother and sister. The assignment? Rescue a boy and escort him out of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Oppositional forces and unexpected obstacles threaten to derail the mission in order to fulfill their own angle. This performance from Chris Hemsworth was a nice departure from the goofy antics of the latest Thor films. He plays a more stern and objective driven character that is given just enough tenderness to make him more of a human character than a walking robot who causes destruction. Speaking of which, this is marketed as an action film and it is most certainly that. It's executed with the right energy and pace to get your adrenaline up and the filmmakers take it in interesting directions. While the action is great, the story is pretty thin. It's the case where the narrative is more in service to the action scenes, rather than the characters, ideas, or world. Nonetheless, I recommend this one if you want an unpretentious, competently shot, thrill ride for two hours. Final verdict: 7.5/10.",7
"This movie had me clinging to my chair at every second. Along with fast paced action and an incredibly accurate screenplay, this movie is a Thriller from start to finish.",7
"I played the first two Witcher games as a young adult, and absolutely loved the dark fantasy world with monsters lurking around every corner. I was therefore very excited about this adaptation. To its credit, it does do many things well. Henry Cavill is fantastic as Geralt of Rivia and absolutely embodies the role. The shows does a great job showing the witcher method of dealing with monsters, and I generally prefer the show when that is the focus, rather than the overarching plot. In season 2, I really enjoyed the unique relationship between Geralt and Ciri, as well as her interactions with the other witchers at Kaer Morhen.

However, there are also several aspects that detract from the series. In season 1, the plot is very incoherent. Although this was much improved in season 2, I did find the season 2 plot to be a bit boring at times. Also, the quality of the action sequences and CGI is all over the place - sometimes fantastic, sometimes pretty terrible (this slightly improved in season 2). Another issue that I have is that the tone seems somewhat disjointed to me. The world of the Witcher is dark and gritty, and the show does a great job depicting that. However, the romantic relationships are soap opera-level corny, and really takes away from my immersion in the world.

But overall, I am pretty happy with the adaptation so far. And since there was definitely a step-up from seasons 1 to 2 (I would rate season 1 as a 7/10, and season 2 as a 7.5/10), I hope that that trend continues, and that the adaptation will still reach the levels of epicness that it deserves in later seasons.",7
"This is a psychological film filled with suspense and a story that will keep you gripped intensely, you won't even notice it 2hrs long. This film plays with your mind, you'll find yourself guessing whom it is that keeps phoning Karhtik.

"I'll keep this short and simple. Dunkirk is one of the worst war films I have ever seen. It was so bad it actually made me angry. Every time I think about it, I remember how annoyed and mad I was watching it. I'm not sure where the good reviews are coming from?! Just plain boring.",1
"I'm totally speechless. How can a tv show goes that far. I loved this show. The visualization , the dialogues everything just everything was great. It's the greatest thing I've ever seen and it will. I really really really loved this whole show. I just can't explain my fellings about this.",10
Boring movie just waited to get it over. Not sure why it got Oscar.,3
"I just loved this movie; it has a simple but well driven story. Stephen Chow talent is imminent not only because he has written, directed and acted in this motion picture but also because he, like me, is a lover of kung Fu movies.

Asia has produced some amazing movies in the last years, some of them I considered masterpieces, (like OldBoy, Hero or Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon) and others are as entertaining and thrilling as a roller- coaster (like ONG-BAK) and now, Kung-Fu Hustle, which is going to make you smile forever, I couldn't stop laughing while I was watching it.

Stephen chow's character (Sing) is desperate to be accepted by the most evil gang that ruled Shanghai in the 40's, the notorious ""Axe Gang"" which is formed by guys dressed in black suits. Although he wants to be a bad man, and doing bad things, everything goes wrong every time he try it, mostly because he doesn't know how to fight or how to make a mayhem action, because deep inside him he is pure. So in his search for becoming an evil man he gets into a small housing little village where lives humble people, and he tried to blackmail a young hairdresser and here is where the good action begins. The first turn in the movie comes when three great Kung Fu masters, who had lived, uncovered among the humble people shows his power to defend the people in the village. Then the Axe Gang leader hired two great Kung-Fu assassins to take revenge on the people of the village.

This movie has many hilarious moments; one of my favorites is when the landlord (after he and the landlady shows their real power in the second big turn of the movie) is talking with one of the almost dead fighter after defeat the two assassins and he speak in English stealing the Sean Connery's line at end The Untouchables of Brian De Palma, when Malone tells to Eliot Ness: ""WHAT ARE YOU PREPARED TO DO!"" and then the landlord tell him ""why are you talking in English"".

The fights are awesome, very well choreographed, of course by the master 'Yuen Woo-Ping', best known for his collaboration in the Matrix saga.

The subplot story of Sing and his love interest is simply wonderful, though they never talk each other the looks and the flashback are enough to create a beautiful love story. Just like a Chaplin movie. As I said before, I just loved this movie. You should see it!",7
"Though this movie has great rating and reviews, personally I did not find it appealing. Though Tom Hanks did a great job, but the movie was looong, at times I skipped some part as it was very slow. Seemed pretty average to me.",6
"It is flashy and colorful and the acting is good - the dancing and singing not so much, some of the music is really well placed if forgettable. But it is a movie that pretends for 128 minutes to be something it is not.

It is not a musical. It tries to be. But it forgets 20 minutes in and then remembers in the end for one wonderful classical musical scene that would be brilliant if it was all that La La Land was. But the rest, is not really a musical. Mostly because while it doesn't lack music it lacks music numbers. And the ones it has feel mostly out of place and there only so a bland love story can be called something more interesting. It is a movie with music. Not particularly good music either. There are two numbers that stuck with me for longer then the length of the movie. The rest might work within the story but doesn't manage to stand on its own.

The movie also pretends to be original. Which it is not. There has been stories like that. And better ones.

The characters are not sympathetic either. He is snobbish and self-centered and even in his growth remains a jerk. She has no idea what she wants and while she pretends to grow she remains a child. If the actors were any less charming and worked less well together I would be rooting for them to get slapped for half the movie. It made caring if they stay together or not and watching their struggles and their happy moments much less involved. And uninvolved audience is not something you are striving for as a story teller.

And the ending of the movie, don't even let me start on that. I was somewhat looking forward to it despite the movie's flaws and then the movie slapped me in the face and spit on itself and me as well. I ended up feeling lied to and took for a fool.

I have seen two wonderful movies that same week and going out of La La Land it was everything a movie should not make you feel. Disappointed. Mislead. Empty. Just like the movie is.",2
"Just to make it clear, my rating is based on the average of the 3 seasons combined. More of a 6.5/10

I don't understand, Was season 3 meant to be for another show with same cast? Or did the writers get bored ? I mean Russians?? Really? Season 1 & 2 were pretty good with some flaws of course(still not one of the best shows thou). But season 3 ?? What? What has happened? Teen show much? Love? Stupidity? Comedy? A bunch of annoying teens are saving the city? And please if you're to create season 4, please kill Erica, Mike and basically reduce the stupid scenes that aren't making any sense.

Thanks for the effort, but the show went downhill, really.",7
"Not so much to say: this movie is an excuse to tell an empty story. Yes, Brad Pitt make a good performance in a poorly demanding roll. 2.5 hours of good acting and that is it",4
"I highly recommend this movie. If you've seen the prior installments of the series, you're in for a real treat--this is the best of the lot. The acting is superb, the pacing just right, the cinematography beautiful and dramatic, the settings gorgeous. As always, one can't expect the movie to slavishly follow the book; sticklers for details and favorite scenes may be disappointed. But the essence of the story in character development, in tone, and in the great themes of the series are all captured quite well.

Exciting, engaging, somber and humorous, well done! And someone in our group had not read the stories and seen only one of the prior movies and followed along quite well... Highly recommended for older children, teens, and adults who have kept their imaginations alive.",10
"Had this screenplay been made during the era it depicts, both the tone and--likely--the fascination with it would be negligible. Doris Day or Jane Fonda would have been cast in a breezy story of a girl genius, maligned and underappreciated by peers and family alike. An ugly-duckling story who transforms into a swan, decked out in the latest fashions to the envy of all.

Here, it's a heavy-handed story of melodramatic suffering that is kept on track by a strong production team and major performances from every cast member. It's all-too-well-trod story of abuse, addiction and transformation is leavened by being set in the rarefied world of professional chess, giving new zip to a tired and predictable story.

Both Anya Taylor-Joy and Marielle Heller give such convincing and empathic performances (as characters who have to earn our good will) that watching them is like a master class in creating a character. The arc of both their stories sparks and propels the narrative. Indeed, the entire cast is so pitch perfect surrounded by equally detailed art direction, it's hard to keep from binge watching this series. And that alone, given how trite the story actually is, makes this worthy of all the praise it has received.

(Now if we can just get the same production team to feature a sensational Moses Ingram--as Jolene--the same care and screen time, this will all have been worth it.)",8
"I may be a fan of Scorcese, DeNiro, Pacino and Pesci, but this film is ne of their worst. The acting - except for Joe Pesci - is simply terrible with Pacino the worst in his way off one note impersonation of Jimmy Hoffa. The film is often incomprehensible. I am at a loss why anybody is praising this embarrassing mess of a movie. The extremely fine cinematography does not make up of a jumbled plot, poor acting from Pacino and Deniro, and a general mess of a movie. This emperor really is naked.",3
"I just watched the movie...but from the beginning to end i did not catch the ¨goodness¨ of it...it is slow in every level , I did not liked the so called ¨sexual tension¨ in between an old man ...not to mention he is not a very good looking guy...and this young lady, I mean 7.8 , is nonsense for this sadness of a movie.",1
"In a time where nearly every movie released is a special effects action fest with cardboard characters and cheesy dialogue, it truly is a breath of fresh air when a movie comes along that portrays life as it really is. This film takes a story that could easily have turned into the cliché gangster flick and turns it inside out, with a more grounded and relatable approach.

The story is fascinating, the dialogue rich, and the acting is spectacular. Oscar Isaac hits it out of the park in this film and the supporting cast is just as good. The pacing and camera work fits perfectly with the story being told. I have nothing bad to say about this film, other than the fact I want more of it.",10

"I went into this show not expecting much. To be honest I didn't even realize it was a series until I decided to watch it.

Best decision I've made in a while. I was born in the 90s so obviously the nostalgia gets to me. But besides that the show itself it's very well done.

Great acting, not just from the lead roles but even the people with smaller parts do an outstanding job.

The music is 10/10. As soon as I heard the Thong song I knew I had to write this review.

Surprisingly they don't use as much CGI as you'd expect considering todays standards, which is great to watch and keeps you wanting to watch more.

Even if you never played the game you can watch the show. The game(s) were fantastic but there wasn't a story, so given the fact they had to come up with something on their own they did a great job.

I'd give it a 10 but it's only been one season.",8

"I finally sat down and watched Birdbox. I had heard so much about it and I figured it was time to take the 2 hour journey. Honestly, I was very disappointed. Mostly because I went into this movie with high expectations. If you're going to watch it, I advise to go in with an open mind and low expectations. Props go to the actors, as the acting was quite good. But as far as the storyline, plot and length of the movie... it loses marks there. For me, the best part of the movie was that Machine Gun Kelly plays a role, and a part of me was waiting for his death due to seeing his greatest fear... Eminem. Unfortunately, this doesn't happen but I'm sure the internet will take care of that for us. Anyway, 4/10 for me. Dragged on for way too long.",4
"I went in with low expectations, expecting a teeny show, but it was more of a mystery. While slow at times, I found myself watching one episode after another to find out what happened next. I don't view it as a show trying to have some grand message or touch taboo points, just a mystery that was worth watching.",7
"After last year's stupid Ant-man and disappointing Age of Ultron I wasn't going to waste my money on another star studded, cgi action flick that will just build up for Thanos or something. Fortunately my friend had a free ticket. And honestly, this is the best Marvel movie to this date.

Of course it still is another star studded, cgi action flick building up the stage for Thanos. But Civil War has a lot more going for it. It tells a story. Story of friendship, ideology and origin. Villain is irrelevant here. Although we are eager to see where this is going, we still can't take our mind off this story. And even though I didn't care much for all the jokes and quirkiness, I couldn't stop laughing at them.

I wanted something ""deep"" from BVS. People need to learn that ""deep"" and ""dark"" are not the same thing. If you are looking for something deep, dramatic, entertaining and you are angry at Zack Snyder for not delivering what was promised to you, then go and watch Marvel's Captain America: Civil War.",8
"(r#79)

I would lie if I said that Forrest Gump isn't an extremely well made movie. From the acting, to the feel-good story, to the pacing, comic timing, and fantastic soundtrack, it is one of the best movies ever made. Tom Hanks is good as the titular character, and Gary Sinise and Robin Wright Penn make for a strong supporting cast. Robert Zemeckis' direction hits all the right notes. The movie is also visually beautiful. So why did I only give it a 7 out of 10? Well, as well produced, directed and acted as the film is, there is an underlying cynicism that doesn't work well with the movie's innocent and good-hearted nature. The ""heart-breaking"" scenes become more and more obvious and deliberate with each viewing. Don't get me wrong, this is a great feel-good story and I did love it when I was younger. Maybe I am just growing more desensitized to this kind of warm-hearted, mushy stuff. The problem probably lies more with me than with the film itself, but I still can't help but feel that Zemeckis was a bit too elaborate. There are scenes that, when you're re-watching the film, seem written specifically to make the audience crack up in tears. It borders on being manipulative, rather than letting the audience think for itself.

The movie could have worked as a serious drama. I'm a sucker for movies about mentally challenged men and I loved both ""Sling Blade"" and the more obscure ""Den Enfaldige Mördaren"". In the former, Billy Bob Thornton delivered a total class act. He embodied his character, Karl, to the point where you couldn't possibly compare him to his role in, say, Bad Santa. In ""Den Enfaldige Mördaren"", Stellan Skarsgård was also utterly believable. But I just can't buy Hanks in this role, even if it's probably the one he'll be remembered for. Thornton and Skarsgård, in their respective roles, *were* their characters. They were as human and real as you and me. Hanks' performance is a pure live-action cartoon, a caricature of a mentally challenged man. He's just too goody-goody. Too pure of heart. Too goofy and lovable. He's a man with no dark sides, and as such he's completely unbelievable. I did laugh at Gump's cute lines and catchphrases. I did feel for him when he got bullied around and when he finally got the girl in the end. But I wonder if anyone actually bought Gump as a character rather than just ""Tom Hanks playing a mentally challenged guy"".

Another problem is that the movie refuses to take any real risks. There is nothing controversial about the subject matter and nothing really inventive about the movie-making (although it is quite an achievement to fit an entire lifetime into a single film!) 'Gump' is not a movie that pushes the envelope in any way.

This is still a very enjoyable movie and first-timers will probably love it. It took a lot of viewings for me before my strong feelings for it started to falter. On the surface, ""Gump"" is one of the best feel-good movies ever made. But if you read between the lines, it is a cynical and very elaborate movie, nearly manipulative, and specifically designed to make you laugh, cry and pay for repeated cinema viewings. At least Hanks and Sinise do their best.",7
"Usually when one goes for the superhero or the mystery thriller genres you would expect the plot to he to the point, the umbrella academy is none of that. Its a story of superheroes saying they dont mind the apocalypse as long as they're OK for 2 full seasons and nothing of relevance ever happens in either seasons. Easily the 20 hours of my life I couldve done anything better than watch this",5

"I definitely like the movie but I saw something very very disgusting for me. One of the actresses had not waxed her armpits........!!!!

Sorry but for me that's very gross and it's such a shame for the entire crew. I completely understand she have a French background but still.

Other than that I really like the movie it's a very light. Of course it's not like the first one but everyone playing very good. Good story very good actor crew. But guys please use the bathroom on the proper way, brush your teeth use soap be neat and tidy. This is not 13th century movie.

I hope the movie director is going to see my comment. Thank you.",3
This is my personal favorite superhero film. I can acknowledge that it isn't the most well made superhero movie. The way this movie balances its tone is masterfully done making the movie a thrill ride of emotions. A perfect movie night flick for any person.,8
"Another movie to glamorize America.

What would we do without America as the good guys? While it had decent effects and everything seemed kinda fun, it relied upon the overall effect of America the strong and good and saviour and that other nationalities are sub-par.

The bad guys this time are in Afghanistan.

Yeah America - hero's to the world...all hail government propaganda.

I never read the Iron Man comics and most likely never will, so I can't compare the comics to this - but I know what feeding me lies about military and everything it stands for is.",3
"It's basically a expansion of BB Universe from 4/5min short videos to 8 episodes based web series. It's actually a good web series to binge watch because max to max episodes duration was like 20/22min. Bhuvan Bam played all major 9/10 characters here that too with conviction. I mean this time the budget of this web series was pretty high so that we can see the quality screenplay with camera angles in it. The main thing about these videography and editing was they almost screenplayed 3 characters into same frame that too with movable camera angles which was quite tricky to shoot and edit to be honest.

Acting performance of Bhuvan Bam never disappointed us and he did splendid job here in this series as well. The music, songs and also BGMs were quite nice and deserve appreciation as well.

Overall a you'll enjoy this web series for surely if you love to watch BB ki Vines from last 5/6yrs. This series contains strong languages, double meaning jokes so think about yourself whether you wanna watch it with family or not. Anyway! 8 out of 10 Stars from my side.",8

"There are a myriad of reasons of why this show is awful. For the exception of Henry Canvil, they did a terrible jobs with casting these roles. Even if you have never played the games or read they books, you will be let down by the underwhelming acting.

None of the characters have any chemistry on screen and the performances feel forced. The shows attempts at humor fall completely flat and just end up being annoying.

Titular characters, like the Lion of Cintra, have zero charisma on screen. One has to wonder if they choose effects over quality when it came time to manage the budget. But by that logic the effects would be impressive... They are not.

The effects are akin to an 80's fantasy movie like Krull (at least Krull was entertaining).

I really wanted to like this show as I've been a fan of the source material for years. The one thing the show did well was keeping the narrative fairly close to the books but it was not enough to overcome bad acting, bad directing, lousy casting and lame effects.

Henry Canvil did an admirable job, even though the voice he choose was pretty bad (ie. Bale-batman), but he couldn't carry the show all on his own. I kept powering through the episodes in hopes that it would get better. Unfortunately, this show was truly terrible.

It's sad that true fans waited this long for a ""big"" budget adaption and got this bile instead.",1
"It's impossible to show DeNiro or Pesci as their younger selves. It's so strange that it's often hard to pay attention to the actual storyline. The story just isn't that good either sadly... CGI can't create miracles. Understand that this is not your typical Martin Scorsese Mob film, but instead a way to bring back the old crew for one last chance to work together. Not good, don't waste your time, it's so bad that you will watch it for an hour before giving up.",2
Great plot and character development. Twists and turns were impressive and not obvious until reveal.,10
It is different but very enjoyable some people dont like trying anything different maybe that's a few have disliked it. I say watch it properly till the end then decide if it works for you or not.,10
"The duality of being perfect and yet still not being enough is portrayed so well here. This movie is about being able to relate to the constant evolution of the human condition, specifically in a way that centers growing up from being a naive child to being aware of yourself and the judgement of others. This movie does center women, but any individual claiming this movie is a misandrist anthem has no idea of even a notion to what the point of this movie was.

Hilarious, intelligent, beautiful, poignant, tasteful. This movie makes me warm to the knowledge of being a woman. I will be watching more Greta movies from now on if not all of them. I cried.",10
"It is not crazy adventurous, so don't see it if that is what you are looking for.

The message, as important as ever: history tends to repeat itself.

Set between the end of WWI supposedly the war that would end all wars and a glimpse seen only by a few of the beginning of WWII, you can guess what the main message of this movie is about.

The art of making this message come through in a light, funny, endearing way without loosing its importance.

The unsuspotious callout of doing the right thing no matter what. Of chosing love and being altruistic, a capacity within all us (except the sociopaths, of course).

Beautifuly put together, brilliant actors.

I don't get the low ratings for this high quality job. But, again, it is not an action movie.",10
"Honestly, I tried so hard to get through this because of all the hugely inflated reviews on here (must be buzzfeed readers just repeating all the garbage they spin), what a phenomenal waste of time. I gave up on episode four, or three, it was so bad it all just merged into one horrendous experience in the end.",1
"Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) is a paraplegic Marine who travels to the world of Pandora to do what he thinks is protecting the Earth. The natives of that world are said to be vicious and cruel. By transforming into one of them in his sleep (or something) he realizes they are NOT the evil ones and he begins to have serious doubts about his mission. This leads to an all out battle at the end.

Basically this is cowboys vs. Indians in outer space. This is VERY easy to follow and understand which is the main problem. Everything here is totally and utterly predictable! You've seen these characters and situations all before. I was always one or two steps ahead on the plot and this isn't good for a movie that runs a needless 165 minutes. This could have easily been wrapped up in 90 minutes. Some people find getting into the world of the aliens is fascinating. I wasn't fascinated at all--just thoroughly and utterly bored! To make matters worse the dialogue is on the level of an Archie comic book and the characters are either evil or good--no shades of grey or ambiguity. The movie also preaches it's against war but ""entertains"" us with an all out battle at the end. Lots of people agree that the plot is light but the incredible special effects make up for it. Not for me! Yeah the special effects are impressive (especially in 3-D) but that isn't enough for such a long movie with a dull storyline. I can't really comment on the acting here considering no one is given a character to play--they're all walking, talking clichés. Only two people stand out--Sam Worthington and Sigourney Weaver. Worthington is very handsome with beautiful eyes and a cute little Australian accent. Weaver is strong and commanding playing a scientist.

I will admit the battle at the end was (kind of) fun but I was mostly bored silly throughout this. I kept looking at my watch patiently waiting for this to end. I have to admit I'm in the minority here. It's gotten rave reviews from critics and has already broken box office records. I attended a 4:30 show on a Saturday afternoon--and it was sold out! It's also among the top 50 movies here on IMDb. I guess a lot of people like predictable stories with non-stop special effects and cardboard characters. I need something more than that. The 2 is only for the effects and hot Worthington.",2
"Today I was thinking about free guy which I watched a while ago and I thought it was terrible.

Why does this movie receive any buzz STILL, why does this movie get any praise?? Like the humor isn't funny, the acting mostly sucks, and like the story is terrible and cliche

It's like this movie gets a pass cause people love Ryan reynolds. This is just another ready player one with tons of reference humor again and for some reason people seem to just love this movie.

The story flow of the film is abysmally slow, there is not a single character to latch on to, there is absolutely horrendous cgi in the film that somehow don't annoy people, and the sets all feel like sets. Nobody feels real, nobody is believable, nobody is even likable, it's all really cringe.

This is not the worst film I've ever seen, but I don't think this has a single positive element, just a lot of negative and neutral. Like some of the explosions and special effects were F I N E, BUT nowhere near Oscar material! Joe Keery was fine also when it came to acting, I actually thought him and Jodie Comer did fine I thought. There is also a bunch of other stuff that was more forgettable than egregious

Taika waititi and his assistant were absolutely horrid and if I hadn't seen him act well before, I'd swear to god Id think he was not at all related to the film industry and they just picked him up off the side of the road. He's THAT bad, closest to the worst performance I'd seen all year it's horrible. Ryan reynolds plays Deadpool again and most cameos are just playing themselves too.

Overall this was an incredibly unfunny, cringy, explosion filled, terrible awful reference film with very little redeeming qualities. It's not actually the worst thing I've ever seen, I did not laugh once, but I have seen much worse. It was still very very bad and I would not recommend it. Everyone seems to love it though, so if you like the trailer then watch the movie I guess?

Low 3/10.",3

"I am not kidding, the movie was hilarious, self aware, touching, camp, beautiful, it was everything. My friend told me it was rare to hear me laugh so much, next to us was a couple and the bf was also dying from laughter. The ""this movie is not for me"" means that you maybe are close minded, if you go to see anything with prejudice, you will more likely not enjoy it. I think it is fair if it isn't your cup of tea but don't review bomb the movie, there nany famous movies that are not for me but i don't think they are bad. Why can't women, mothers and daughters have something for them? All those 1 star reviews are disgusting. I recommend to put the pinkest thing you own and enjoy the movie, i am glad i watched her.",10
"A great whodunit? I don't know about all that. No spoilers here, but you know exactly whodunit at the very beginning of the film- it's just the story evolves around that information, adding convoluted plot twists involving a couple other characters. The trailer makes it seem like it's some deep mystery up until the end when in reality you know exactly how the murder happens within the first 30 minutes of the film and very little changes, except the story becomes unnecessarily complicated as it progresses (they had to fill 2 hours somehow). Plenty of pointless political commentary provided as well, with the scales tipped heavily in favor of Leftist ideals, needlessly injecting opinions from the filmmakers about how Republicans are Nazis, and other lies. So edgy...so woke! What an over-hyped waste of 2 hours.",4
"Five episode in, and the show's kind of a let down.

"I'm not much of a writer, so I'll keep the review short.

The plot is nothing new, but is interesting enough. However, Chris Hemsworth knocks it out the park with his performance - I really didn't expect that from him, but he is awesome in this.

The action scenes are great, and some of the camera work and filming techniques are fantastic.

The film is a 6/10, but I gave it a 7/10 for the action scenes and Hemsworth's performance.",7

"It might have been an error on Disney's part to release only the first 2 episodes at once instead of 4 episodes. While I am on of the few people who absolutely loved the intrigue and mystery of the first three episodes, this exceptional show has been getting a lot of hate due to a lack of plot.

... And then the 4th episode came out. Not only was it an exceptional episode, but it justified the use of the first three and even gave some answers to the many questions of Wanda vision.

Overall a brilliant show that shouldn't be judged on the first three episodes (especially if your only complaint is a lack of plot)",6
"This one was a fantastic movie that tackles the inner ridiculous nuances of the Nazi Germany at the time of World War II. A ten year old boy, growing up in the ocean of propaganda perpetuated by Hitler's war machine, fascinated by the Führer's charisma, willingly joins the youth program of the Nazi Party. Incidentally, his path crosses with that of a Jewish teenage girl. This leads to a heap of macabre events that unfurl entangling politics and racism.

Both the child actors did great as protagonists while Scarlett Johansson's contribution was a cherry on top.

It is a very likable movie, evident by the favorable score it received in IMDB. I would even go further and say this is one of the best movie to portray (and mock) the puerile concepts of the Nazis that led to the monstrous atrocities of the war to end all wars.",7

"Boy, it's hard to keep watching this. Very predicable, same story, different actors. I felt compelled to turn it off twice. There just is not enough going on. And, I kept watching ""Lady GaGa"" versus the character. I just couldn't be convinced that she was ""A Star is Born"". Sadly, with all the very high ratings, this will get at least a nod from ""The Academy"". Bradly Cooper was great, although ~ the drinking, and drunkenness just got to be the norm. First part (1/4) was good, but fell apart.",4
"The makers of Iron Man 2 should be commended for preserving most of the things that made part I so successful, without overdoing anything. Robert Downey Junior is wonderful as ever (though his playboy antics walk a very fine line between amusing and over-the-top). And Gwyneth Paltrow is lovely and charismatic as Pepper Pots, a rare superhero love interest who is attractive, intelligent and dignified in an understated way, which is something you don't often see in action pictures where women's independence is acceptable as an over-the-top novelty.

Unfortunately, the goodwill generated by Paltrow's performance as an effortlessly worthy woman is squandered a bit on Scarlett Johanson, who is physically beautiful, but subscribes to the female-in-an-action-movie norm. She is too skinny to be a viable action hero, and dressed so slinkily that her sole function is clearly that of a sex object.

The biggest problem with this movie is Samel L. Jackson, who has played the same role so many times he kills your suspension of disbelief. The man on screen is clearly Samuel L. Jackson wearing an eyepatch. His presence serves only as a distraction. Don Cheadle is a fine actor, but no better than Terrence Howard, and its a shame the filmmakers couldn't have brought him back.

Otherwise, the film has some problems with logical plotting and characters' motivations aren't always clear (i.e. the brawl between Iron Men at Tony's birthday party). However, it is funny, entertaining, exciting, and subtly thoughtful, with implications about world peace and arms dealing which feels like a breath of fresh air amidst all the current action pictures' assumption that their audiences have a 2nd grade comprehension level.

The bottom line is, if you liked part I, you'll enjoy part II.",7
"Just like the first film Glass Onion built up an incredible set of characters. I enjoyed many great scenes and was excited to see who the killer truly was. Even when they revealed the killer and their reveal was foiled I wondered how it was all going to be tied in a near bow before credits rolled.

Unfortunately I was to be disappointed. A great movie turned on its head when winning and revenge wasn't pieced together with wits but instead destroying priceless artwork and property. I had to chuckle when the entourage, whom at this point had earned their team 'bad guy badge', swapped allegiance and were back in the good books. A further chuckle that they didn't die in a ridiculous explosion and lastly a sadness when they ended the film on a smooth smoking Daniel Craig thinking their ending wrap was a neat bow that in fact ruined a budding murder mystery franchise.",5
"It's hard to remember 13rw for anything other than the pathetic self indulgence and weird storylines. But as a 16yo who had only watched Sherlock and Friends before this, that first season was DARK. Still one of my favourite seasons of any tv show. The story was framed in a very intriguing murder mystery sorta way with a lot of emotion and heart behind it.

It's a real real shame where the series went after the first season. A second season was obviously needed to wrap the story up and tie up all the arcs. And it's decent. It just looks very boring compared to the first one.

But everything after the second season is just Netflix and the show runners milking everything they can out of the series. Disgusting. Cringe. Confusing.",7

This is totally insane, hilarious and just pure fun and entertainment. I don't know about some people but if you don't find that throwing of 3 knives scene hilarious then you got some issues. Don't take the movie too seriously expecting philosophical idealistic projection of life's depth, because if you are, run along. Fortunately I'm one of the millions of people who perceive Chow's humor to be funny, but of course not everyone can understand the style and brand of his comic performance. Nevertheless all we ask is to put your critical minds aside and enjoy this kung fu masterpiece.

I love the martial arts, the insane take on super-fu, slap stick comedy mixed along with showing the reality of average peoples lives. Cultural barriers may occur when people from all over the world see this, but as I said, don't take it critical nor seriously and your guaranteed to enjoy this gem. Truly another amazing, entertaining, fun flick from Chow.I'm looking forward to his next projects.",10
"This is a thoroughly pretentious movie that never captures the attention. The music track is truly idiotic and does not relate to what's happening on screen. It fact, it's so freaking annoying it detract from the entire film enjoyment.

Sandler, who I like, goes in and out of character throughout. Sometimes he affects a diamond district Jewish accent and then other times he reverts back to Adam Sandler.

The direction style is chaotic at best adn also detracts from the enjoyment. It's almost as if the directors want to emulate Altman, but don't have the talent to pull it off.

It's clear Sandler thinks his performance is academy award fodder, but he is woefully wrong.

Stick to comedies my friend.",2
"Marvel Studios continue their extravagant adventure in their 'Avengers Universe' with the second Captain America film, the third to feature the titular hero and the 9th to be set in this particular Marvel universe (until a future film merges all of them together). The material put forward by Marvel in the follow up of the Avengers film have been unfortunately a little stale, with Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World both coming off slightly dull in comparison to their previous amalgamation. Captain America has however struck a strong chord with some British cinema viewers as well as reviewers, others dispute the claims that this is 'the best Marvel film so far'.

The film is unchallenging in any degree. The formula of action set- pieces, cool quips and a quick dip in the pool of emotion rarely fails Marvel and is frequented in their films but after the extravagance of the Avengers the mark still has not quite been hit. The Winter Solider is indisputably the better of the post-Avengers films but still comes off fairly dull when mounted with the high expectations one has over Marvel films, an expectation slowly being shown the light of reality. The lack of many high-scope set pieces does allow some breathing room for the cast but the consistent running and gunning does water down any emotional bond toward the cast. The running and gunning however is done exceptionally well, Capt. himself ten times more active than in his previous run in and moves away from the star spangled banner into a tighter, more cutting edge stealth beating up machine. The large set pieces are great to watch when they do arrive, the slightly larger ones could benefit with a bit more 'realism' instead of looking like a port from a video game.

Though criticism can be subjective, none can ignore the matter of The Winter Soldier himself. Everyone knows who he really is, it's no disguise. But in the film he's barely a lead role, he's the equivalent of Oddjob to Robert Redford's Alexander Pierce (who does provide a good antithesis). The Winter Soldier however should have been the forefront of the film, instead what was displayed was a culturally relevant plot- line with a cool villain.

The plot-lines focus on pre-emptive justice and worldwide surveillance, peace through fear, is something of relevance in our era, especially during these post-Snowden months. The resulting story comes off with a moderate sigh, the aim too ridiculously imbalanced and no daringness in the continuity. And as aforementioned, where was The Winter Soldier.

A redeeming factor of the sub-titular character is however his music, the scream that plays when he enters a scene or commits an act really helps make the character seem darker. The end result ended up almost unnecessary for his involvement.

That being said it's a popcorn flick and it's entertaining whilst providing a dip into the Marvel universe again before Guardians of the Galaxy. If The Winter Soldier is anything to go on it will be explosions and quips. There's nothing wrong with this, James Bond did it for 40 years. It's keeping it fresh though and if Marvel want to continue their legacy they need to quicken their pace before the hype before the next sequel is equivalent to the visit from estranged family members you'd rather ignore.

Credit is due for being an entertaining film for the most part, as well as having a relevant plot-line. The Marvel universe needs an ounce of freshness however, perhaps a deviation from the ever repeating formula in favour of a more striking, surprising and emotionally engaging story.",6
"Just watched Knives Out, What a disappointment! Ive seen better episodes on ""Murder She Wrote"". What a waste of talent, time and money. Not funny at all, just a benign movie. Don't waste your money.",3
"As soon as the film was over, my friends I just cracked up- it was awful! This was just another extremely predictable, clichéd, completely ridiculous and badly scripted movie. At many points during it you could be forgiven for mistaking it for a spoof of bad films, but no, this is a REAL film, not a joke.

The only good bits were all the action scenes; fortunately, although Hollywood churns out lots of terrible stuff most of its films have great special effects! Apart from that, there's nothing else of merit I can say really so I'll just say some more negative stuff. The plot was just so stupid and so many of the characters were just SO obvious (as in you get pretty much the same character in other films). Some of the acting was straight out of primary school drama class- as in, VERY BAD!! There was also some very irritating product placement; some parts of the film looked like an Audi advert.",4
"The Polish TV series is ""the Witcher"", and this is not watchable slop.

There is no soul, no interest, there is no understanding of the source material. All sacrificed to the social mission. Gwint's card descriptions tell a better story than this s#it

2 stars for Henry Cavill and Joey Batey with his songs. They are also strange, but the only ones who look appropriate in all this vaudeville.",2
"If you like superhero movies, and you like Mystery Men but want something a bit darker and grittier then I highly recommend The Boys, available on Amazon Prime or... some other way of getting it. The only downside is Karl Urban's attempt at a British accent. I spent the first 3 episodes wondering why people kept making a point of offering British stuff like tea to an Australian. The I realised he was trying to do a east end accent. Other than that, maximum stars.",9
"Was it perfect...no. Was entertaining...very. Yes fanboys will cry it wasn't as faithful as I hope season 2 will be...but it was a nice escape from the constant politics in everything these days. The effects were good, the cast was awesome, Sweet Tooth was great. I think if you choose not to take it so seriously, it's a very enjoyable show. Anthony Mackie while hit or miss was actually quite good in this. One thing I didn't like about it was the cuts to black like it was edited for tv, but I get it as not every peacock subscriber has premium. Some of the characters were done a little dirty but overall it was a gory, fun, action packed ride. Take my opinion for what it's worth.",8
"""The Queen's Gambit"" is a seven-episode miniseries that depicts the highs and lows of a brilliant girl.

A great Bollywood masala movie with all the right ingredients Shah Rukh is king in this film Main hoon na will undoubtably entertain Bollywood fans that's for sure,6
"No need explanation, this is just the best.

Had just reading the 1 star rating from someone, they said that this Animated Series no where near naruto. Hahaha sorry, this series didn't belong to the same world with naruto, Avatar don't need to compete with naruto, it's already win. ATLA has deep research, cultural-based visuals, and everything just perfect and well-constructed

Sorry for naruto that didn't finished since the beginning. It is an art or capitalism tool? As long as ""kids"" love it, they made more, hahaha.",10
The movie is not historically accurate. Otherwise it is an OK Hollywood movie.,1
"Ok, so first of all please do not believe in any of the high ratings here as i seriously doubt those people were high when they reviewed it. The show starts as bad as it could have been. You will feel sleepy while watching it its that much damn boring. Sorry Marvel but TV series is not your cup of Tea.",1
"Just a lame sequel, really.

Boring, nothing much happening, really a poor use of money and time.

Honestly, just watch the great first one and use your imagination for anything further, that way, you'll avoid the severe disappointment of this sequel that is just so generic and completely forgettable.",4
Very overrated. Not sure why people are raving about it. Nowhere near as good as Daredevil series or The Punisher. The main character (moon knight) is hardly in it.,1
"I think this production is beautifully filmed and mostly well acted, but the main character of Diana is making this hard to watch or sympathize with, I'm staying with it for now (episode 6) as I am hoping she gets a little more gutsy and formidable. She's a bit wimpy and sappy at the moment.",6
"I don't care what you think, except for EP1&2, I feel very disappointed about Loki series. It can be done better, and he can have other stories, but the screenwriter and director have not done so.

The relationship between Loki and Sylvie is flat and shallow, making the whole story look fuzzy and silly. Can you imagine one day we ues ""silly"" word to discribe Loki,the most clever god in MCU? At least I can't see the continuation and real change of the Loki spirit in TVA Loki. He is more like a new character, not Loki.

I waited for this series for three years, I love Loki and Tom from my heart,but this is the first time I think Tom is playing himself, not Loki.

I am disappointed. Really disappointed.",4
"The problem with most these comics is that they were read by the kids and now, they think they will be interesting to adults by adding some really explicit blood scenes. This in fact is a general trend these days. Instead of coming up with a captivating story, throw lots of blood and gory scenes around and hope it will make it shocking and worth watching. It is exactly the opposite, my wife cannot watch most of the recent series because of this. I can just about stand them!! Also, there are lengthy moral dialogue scenes, sometimes several times, in each episode (!!) which become really boring after the second or third time. If you want to make a cake, you need to break some eggs...full stop. If you can't, go do something else! There are loads of inconsistencies, some really ridiculous, like being able to avoid bullets but getting caught by everything Dex throws at him, but then again, catches them at unexpected times!!. The other one is the ninjas being invisible. I can understand them reducing their hart rate at rest but not while running around and fighting! Also, when they move whatever the cloth they are wearing will make noise!",5
"JoJo's bizarre adventure is an anime made for otoko .. bodies, poses, faces, words, quotes ... Are all 100% masculine .. lol .. besides the first episode that gives you a negative impression about how Jonathan is so naive .. the rest of the serie is good and interesting.",8
"Was looking forward to this but on watching the first episode I realised it was missing a LITTLE something. Surprised that they missed the SMALLEST of detail making this a huge flop in my opinion.

Had they managed to include just a MINISCULE of thought it might have turned out great. But they decided to LIMIT it and ended up with a MEAGER offering of NO HEIGHT and MODEST series on a SMALL-SCALE.

Such a SLIGHT error ended up with a PALTRY, MINIATURE offering of INSUFFICIENT and LIMITED SCANTINESS that I was unable to continue with any of the following episodes.

Such a shame that TV has been REDUCED to this LOW level of entertainment.",4
"Basically, Loki written poorly, instead of making you want to see more it makes you want to skip all of phase 4. Loki is weak in this version. The story is over complicated and you cheer for no one except alligator loki. Put it this way Owen Wilson is a better character in this than Loki. All women are superior in this version and loki is weak.",4
What to say about this film good points its an avengers movie bad points it was not what you would expect from an avengers movie was complete rubbish from start to finish,4
"I watch this movie with my friend in theater. What I say about this movie its a Total Nonstop Action...Captain America is fast & furious the winter soldier is also very powerful in the movie..What is special about this movie is serious detailed action which is eye catching and The Winter soldier is much more best then the first part of Captain America first avenger I must say it has more action than Iron Man series, Spider man series, Thor series very good movie very good direction the action is well choreographed and long action scenes. The rest of the stars like nick fury Natasha romanoff and the falcon are also played well waiting for 3rd installment which is coming in 2016",10
"Wanted to love this. Watched it with my nine year old, who within five minutes said it was boring. So sad, we love Marvel. Have watched Thor Raganrok at least thirty times! We will only be watching this once, boring story and boring film.",2
"The previous movie was a fun whodunnit movie with a unique style and great actors. Besides it being pretty long there was nothing to complain about.

The glass Onion is trying to do exactly what knives out did but couldn't pull it off. The plot just wasn't as interesting or well constructed with some weird plotholes. After about an hour I got pretty bored and even thought about quitting. It felt like the story was strangely streched out without doing anything interesting.

The acting and the location were good and its always a joy to watch Edward Norton. Dave Batista is also doing pretty well.

If you really liked the first movie you should still give it a try.",6
"Wholly detestable snobs as main characters. Out of touch with the real world. If this is what you think it is to be a New Yorker then you have never been to the city. All three characters are Mary Sues, there only problems are in their own imaginations. Fairy tale tripe. I'm saddened by the rave reviews.",1
"This film is unbelievably disappointing for me. I don't think I enjoyed at least 1 minute of this ""film"". It's very long, not only that but it's VERY VERY SLOW PACED. The action goes like a turtle when put on a pace-meter. The acting is just so dull that I almost fell asleep during one of Matthew McCoughnahey and Anne Hathaway's conversation scenes, it's so depressing and gray that the entire group of friends I watched it with was yawning almost the whole time. The saddest thing about this movie is that Christopher Nolan directed it: Nolan is probably one of (used to be THE ONE until I found Tarantino) my favorite directors!

This film is very disappointing. I think the only good thing about this movie is that Michael Caine was in it.",2
"The acting is really good and what not, I really liked the first 2 episodes. However, by episode 3 a female Loki has the same significance as Tom's Loki. I'm here for marvel trying to be more gender inclusive but replacing OG characters with a female version is not the way to go especially when the actor playing female Loki isn't as well known or funny as Tom's portrayal of Loki. I wish Marvel would have focused on female characters who already exist like Gamora ect or introducing new female characters rather than gender swapping OG characters. I was so excited for this but Disney has botched this, the next Thor film and probably a few more to come. I also wish we could see more of Loki's powers as he is a God and not an office junkie; hopefully he gains more freedom from the TVA so this could happen in later episodes.",2
This was super entertaining and the trio was perfect. Steve Martin as always hilarious and perfect timing. The whole plot was interesting and hooked you from the first episode. The whole aesthetic and the background music was the highlight of this show. It's a light murder mystery without showing much violence or gore scenes but still with all the twists and thrills. Even the light hearted can definitely give it a try. Those who don't like murder mystery thrillers might find this an exception. Cant wait for season 2.,10
"So the story all boils down to a rich scientist adopts 7 kids all born on the same hour of the same day and raises them like a tyrant basically. He trains them and hones in a skill that each has. He has no empathy at all for any of the children so most of them have grown to dislike him very much except for one who he experiemented on. Long story short, he dies and the kids all meet for his funeral. The mom acts very odd after he dies and one of the children ""tend"" to her. Child #5 busts in after the funeral with news to share.

I keep trying to like this series, but the amount of pity that each one feels for themselves is truly obsessive. Each kid has turned into a train wreck (almost) and the show really expounds on this with cries of wanting to just end it all, drugs, etc. Not a great look for younger viewers, but I'm sure I watched worse when I was younger, but still. I am at the end of the first season and onto season 2. I really hope this gets better.

Another pet peeve that I have is that you don't really get to see many of the powers that each possesses. Number 5 does a lot of bleeping in and out so I will give exception for him, and the boy who can see the dead sees a lot of dead but he drugs himself up so much so he doesn't have to see it... but the others not so much. Rumor girl never does anything and knife boy?(that's a skill? really?) throws a few knives...he's good, I guess. Good points: The mom is very intriguing...she knows things. I like that she is mysterious and has secrets. The younger sister who was always kept out of things begins to change...I like this about the story, but again...the pity. My gosh I just can't get enough of the pity in this show. LOL The end of my review.",4
"The concept is original, the action is entertaining, the cinematography is top notch, and for all the brilliant and memorable moments, there are plenty of plot holes, and a whoooole lot of exposition.

My biggest problem however, is that the emotional stakes never feel high enough to make the story all that engaging. The characters function more as game pieces than human beings. It's all a bit too gloomy and serious.

Overall, 'Inception' is a good watch. It is up there with the best in terms of visuals and action sequences, but in terms of story and characters, it falls short.

7/10",7
"It is watchable but has not suspense or mystery. All very predictable. The two main characters don't have great chemistry, so all the jokes just fall flat.",5
I don't even wanna watch new season... everything is a c*** except 1 season.....,5
"For those of you who watched the movie but knew nothing about what took place at Dunkirk, you still don't. According to this movie this magnificent heroic event only consisted of a couple dozen boats, a couple of airplanes and a few hundred men. I think this was an insult to the thousands of civilian heroes manning the largest ever civilian flotilla rescue in history by ignoring that little item. I don't know what they were running from because the only Germans (other than a few planes) that we saw were a few at the end that seemed to come out of nowhere, kind of like the bullets being shot at everyone. There was so much drama and action and heroism that could have been shown, it could have made a dozen movies. This is obviously what happens when a young person decides to do a film of an historical event by leaving out the historical patriotism and heroics that made the event what it was at the time. If you are in a certain age range you don't have the ability to feel or be sympathetic to the patriotism and sacrifice that went with the people that lived through world war II. The current war battles that younger people would be exposed to are nothing compared to what soldiers AND civilians lived through during that time. The ""young"" director/writer is unable to relate to that so decides to forget about it to shoot something he can relate to, survival. I hoped for a whole lot more from this film but was left terribly disappointed at the obvious lack of historical fact and drama that actually took place at Dunkirk in favor of the ""single man"" viewpoint that a ""young"" director could comprehend.",3
"The best way to describe how it feels trying to like it is if you ever tried lifting 110% of your maximum weightlifting load. It's extremely difficult and those moments when it seems doable are so deceptive.

The plot and the lines are *horribly* bland, like I literally have a feeling that funnier lines would've been more expensive to make so here I am wasting my time because I couldn't afford something better to watch.

By the 5th episode I got even angry at them because it's now clear they just made a show about themselves to themselves and imaginary fans because if they didn't they'd actually have to try harder.",4
This series starts out incredibly strong and comes to a satisfying conclusion. However there are too many episodes in between that are slow and somewhat aimless. If their plot points had been combined and presented more efficiently the show would have easily earned a 10-star rating. Top-notch performances from both leads and most supporting roles.,8
"So finally I catch this series as I am huge Anurag's fan. It is funny that I watched the Pilot in dubbed English first and it was really bad though Nawaz track was good. Anyways, I watched the series in Hindi and liked the Nawaz's track. He is the Gem of Indian Film industry. And the combination of Nawaz with Anurag is beyond imagine. They always do good whenever together. I lived in America and watched a non-censor TV ( HBO, Showtime, FX etc ) and used to watch these kind of stories. It is like watching Fargo or The American.. This show was very confusing at places and some episode had bad background music. Also the last episode was not clear at all, may be left this way to make excitement for second season.

All actors were doing except Saif Ali. I know most of the Indian actors are used of loud and over expressive act and Saif did good at least in that department. He tone down a bit. It can be his best work but it was not enough for this series as everyone else was best in whatever they did. I just read that Anurag directed the Nawaz track and Vikram did the Saif track. And difference is very much visible.

Whoever play Cukoo part was brilient or shall I say beyond brilient. She was a great match to Nawaz in every step.

A small request to the makers, if you are planning to make 2nd season then pl tone down a little bit music and send Saif a really good acting school so he will grow also. I am sure it is a great opportunity for him too as now the whole world is watching not only Indians. We indians are very forgivable but western world will crucify you if you won't improve.

Thanks Anurag to give this great watch.",8
"Not close to a 9.5 rating. Will tumble to 7.4 I predict. Should be ""Helter Skelter Part 2"". Typical Tarantino plot--change history, like ""Inglorious Bastards."" NOt quite as boring as ""Hateful Eight"" but similar in that the only action happens in the last 20 minutes.",6
"I expected more from this movie. In the beginning I found it boring since the action took a while to pick up. It was like a puzzle with several pieces, which is ok, but it had so much components to it. At times I enjoyed some of the humor, but I thought in some cases it was a bit too much. I hated the fact they added a section that was unnecessary to insinuate that only black people are poor etc. We all know that every human race have poor, rich, and middle class people. Why do they think it's ok to make fun of the black race and keep sending messages that is not helping with equality. To make it worse they think it will be less painful if it came from a black man. That part was completely unnecessary because the movie in its entirety had nothing to do with that. On the other hand, the one part I really like was the idea of including all spider man (all the Peter Park) of the times. I love the story of coming together to support the 3rd Peter during a difficult time so they can fix the problem. Overall I thought the movie was very long, inconsistent with spider man power, and I've seen better marvel movies. There were lots of great actors, but I expected more from this movie.",3
"This movie tells us ""This is based on a true story"" at intro.

Sadly,this movie is not a true story,just a fiction.

I felt cheated by this movie.

Or this movie is sending us a message that ""Don't expect much for movie industry.All movie is fu$king fiction,you know."" Anyway,I won't watch this film director's movie again.",1
"(RATING: ☆☆☆☆ out of 5)

THIS FILM IS RECOMMENDED.

IN BRIEF: More of the same, but there is some skill and care by the filmmakers to develop characters between all the standard action stuff.

GRADE: B

SYNOPSIS: The superheroes are called to task about the repercussions of their questionable actions which leads to a splintering of the league.

JIM'S REVIEW: Today, many moviegoers above the age of forty, like myself, can easily develop a condition known as PTSHD (Post Traumatic Super Hero Disorder), a malady that weakens many seriously-minded cinephiles who are continually force-fed the barrage of comic book blockbusters playing at our local movie theaters. Side effects include: vertigo (caused by multiple hyper-kinetic CGI battles), nausea (due to shaky hand-held camera-work), a lack of stamina and general listless yearning for sophisticated dialog (instead of snide puns and comic one-liners) and a feeling of isolation and abandonment (as one feels adrift from today's younger generation of moviegoers).

If I am at all honest in my review, after seeing so many superhero blockbusters of late, in this era of pop entertainment instant gratification, I must admit that I have indeed reached my saturation point. The formula for success is repeated with successful variations on a theme: A rowdy band of misfits is assembled to become their own weapon of mass destruction, destroying cities in one fell swoop. Endless repartee is bantered between our crusaders. Actors fit into their tight-fitted spandex to fight the forces of evil with the straightest of faces and sexual identities to match. Granted, I am not the target audience that the filmmakers have in mind. But here I am, ready to plunk down my well-earned dollars to see another epic sampling of comic book justice.

This time around, the group resembles one big unhappy family dealing with sibling rivalry issues and minor dysfunction. Captain America: Civil War is entertaining, if somewhat over-indulgent in its messy strained relationship between Captain America (Chris Evans) and Tony Stark a.k.a. Ironman (Robert Downey, Jr.). Their animosity causes a ripple effect with the other superheroes taking sides...and gee-whiz, is there an over abundance of muscle, power, and ego! Fanboys, behold the testosterone level on display: Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), and Vision (Paul Bettany). Women and diversity are well represented in this Marvel universe: Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olson), Falcon (Anthony Mackie), and War Machine (Don Cheadle), Newcomers to this action figure franchise include: Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) and Spider-Man (Tom Holland) for the millennial set. Batteries not included.

The plot borrows a similar scenario from the DC comic book universe's recent movie entry, Batman v Superman, the premise being the high collateral damage inflicted upon the town-folks by their so-called protectors. Many lives have been destroyed as they battle evil forces. So there is now a public outcry and revenge against the Avengers. It's governmental and political control over our vigilante crime fighters, some of which accept the terms of a UN mandate while others want to secede from that union. Their decision to either conform with this global request or go rogue causes the friction and tension that finally dissolves their alliance.

Credit screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely for spending considerable time to build the interrelationships and inner angst, even if there are far too many Avengers to do full justice to their individual back-stories. Most characters seem to be fighting for equal screen time than actually fighting a cause. At times, the film feels a bit desperate and overstuffed. It is always on maximum overload, which has both positive and negative results. One just wishes less superheroes were called to duty so the film could be more focused.  The fight sequences themselves are uneven. The opening battle is poorly edited and filmed in harsh close-ups that obliterates the action. But the film improves greatly from there. In fact, the main combat between the divided team of superheroes, which takes place at a deserted airport, is a brilliantly staged and extensively well choreographed scene that is worth the wait (even if it takes over an hour to get there). There is also a strong climactic smack-down between a few of the Avengers that delivers, even if the build and final twist misses some fine opportunities to unite the splintered crew for one final memorable free-for-all.

Both Evans and Downey as the opposing leaders bring their A-game to the A-Team. They have a nice chemistry that makes their rift involving. The rest of the cast play their parts well. However, Daniel Bruhl is miscast as the villain, Helmut Zemo, who never establishes any real presence or menace. He remains an enigma right to the end.

Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, with enough whiz-bang expertise to make the film diverting and satisfying, Captain America: Civil War proves to be a film that would rather debate the deeper issue of friendship and family than settle for being just another simple slam-bang blockbuster. That factor helps elevate this action fantasy and takes it a rise above the standard genre. The playing field may be overcrowded as everyone dukes it out, but it is still enough of a crowd-pleaser, even for this older and slightly worn-out reviewer.

"So, let me just say I ama HUGE Harry Potter fan. I still reread the books several times a week. I kinda liked the previous one in the Fantastic Beasts series. But this one... where to begin? The plot, if there is one to speak of, certainly does not match the title. Although imagery is beautiful, there is not much to the story. It's just one special effect after the other. For more than two hours. I have just finished watching the movie and really can't tell you what has actually happened. And I have a PhD, so my mind is certainly not the problem. Waste of time, even for Potterheads.",4
"Its a lazy teen flick dressed as a horror movie, enough said",3
"My first inclination upon hearing about a film based on a Disneyland ride was to abandon ship and stay away. But word of mouth from everyone I knew who'd seen it (my grandchildren included) led me to walk the plank and lay my booty on the line just to see Depp do Keith Richards. I am an aged Stones fan.

Johnny D. has Mr. Richards' chops down. And for a while this and Geoffrey Rush's, also over-the-top, Barboosa were enough fun to keep the film interesting. But my eyes began to glaze over at about ninety minutes, the umpteenth sword fight, and the innumerable howling moonlit skeletons. Arrg and avast matey!

I'll turn in me peg leg as I'm just too old for this kind of fun.",5

What a shame Parasite won the Oscars instead of 1917. I was expected a masterpiece and felt really disappointed. It is like watching 2 different movies. Second half too surrealistic for my taste,5
Superb Display of Emotions and Acting skills#Reality #Plan B is must but not at Cost of Ego.,3
"Definitely much better than the first Venom. They get right into the relationship between Venom and Eddie and it is very fun to watch. The movie is decently funny and the action is definitely improved. Cletus is a much better villain than that life foundation guy but his wife is really poorly handled. The movie jumps around from scene to scene very quickly and it is very impressive that they fit so much into only an hour and a half. That being said, it can feel too quick at times. Overall it is pretty decent.",6
"This could have probably been a good three-part series. It's still watchable but ultimately the acting is pretty bad, and most episodes are fillers. Unfortunately overall this makes it average. 5/10.",5
"The film was made in 2020 and maybe for Iranians, Golshifteh Farahani's performance in it is more attractive than the story, games and excitement of the film. A criminal's son is kidnapped by a drug kingpin and another group is supposed to rescue this boy. The movie is very action packed. There are many violent scenes and bloodshed and these things. Cinematography is almost flawless and the scenes are attractive in terms of image. It is said that the film will have a second part. I didn't have a special feeling about the movie and it can only be said that it is an action movie and it is tolerable for those who enjoy this genre. Maybe the attraction of the story was not so much or the fact that the film was Bollywood and Hollywood was not pleasant for me. But it is not a movie that I want to see its sequels and that is interesting to me.",1
It is very perfect and mind blowing. I mean the art photography and the minimalism is just WOW. not to mention the ideas. Every episode you feel like it cost them years to make it. 👌👌,9
"I had high expectations based off the trailer and had purchased quite a lot of merchandise in the lead up to the films release, however for me that's as good as it got, brilliant marketing. The first 20 minutes were funny and entertaining but that swiftly turns sour and boring, leading onto an hour and a half of speeches and overly serious moments that just weren't that touching. I can see what they were trying to do with #girlpower but I found it a little toxic and very much like they were trying to 'put ken back in his place' which I get is probably a metaphor for how modern day women are still treated however if you're trying to show feminism to a young audience it really needs to show actual feminism and not just toxic girl power. I would have loved for the ending to have involved an equal balance between the kens and the barbies to show what a real 'dream world' looks like. The Speeches felt very overdone and they suffocated the whole film. At least a quarter of the people in the cinema left half way through.",3
"Groundbreaking series that defies conventions, offering a delightful blend of eccentricity, humor, and heart that makes it a standout in the world of superhero dramas.

At its core, the show revolves around the dysfunctional Hargreeves siblings, each possessing unique abilities, who reunite after their adoptive father's death. The brilliance of The Umbrella Academy lies in its ability to subvert superhero tropes, infusing the narrative with a refreshing dose of irreverence and quirkiness.

The ensemble cast is nothing short of phenomenal, with each actor breathing life into their distinct characters. Ellen Page, Tom Hopper, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, and the rest of the cast deliver performances that strike a perfect balance between comedic timing and emotional depth. The chemistry among the siblings is palpable, creating a dynamic that ranges from hilariously dysfunctional to profoundly poignant.

The narrative weaves seamlessly between multiple timelines and genres, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats with a perfect blend of mystery, drama, and, of course, superhero action. The show's willingness to embrace the absurd and surreal adds layers of complexity to the plot, making each episode a rollercoaster of unexpected twists and turns.

One of the series' strongest assets is its ability to tackle serious themes with a touch of humor. It delves into issues of identity, trauma, and the consequences of a dysfunctional upbringing while maintaining a lighthearted tone that keeps the viewer engaged. The incorporation of an eclectic soundtrack further enhances the overall experience, creating a sonic landscape that complements the show's eccentricity.

The production design and visual effects deserve special mention. The world of The Umbrella Academy is a visual feast, from the eccentric costumes to the breathtaking set pieces. The show's aesthetic is a perfect reflection of its quirky characters and the unpredictability of the narrative.

Beyond its superhero premise, this is a character-driven story that explores the complexities of familial relationships. The Hargreeves siblings navigate their shared history, each carrying emotional baggage that adds depth to their individual journeys. The show masterfully balances character development with overarching plot arcs, creating a narrative that is both intimate and epic.

In conclusion, this is a triumph in the realm of superhero storytelling. Its ability to blend humor, heart, and unpredictability sets it apart as a genre-defying gem. The captivating characters, stellar performances, and inventive narrative make it a must-watch for both superhero enthusiasts and those seeking a fresh and entertaining take on the genre. As the Hargreeves siblings navigate their extraordinary lives, viewers are treated to a rollercoaster of emotions that cements The Umbrella Academy as a standout series in the ever-expanding landscape of television excellence.",8
"If this movie were to be a song it would have about 6 notes played over and over. The characters are tremendously underdevloped.

The only one to hold his own was RD. I sat there as long as I could stand it and finally got up and left.

Going to the movies should be a fun experience......this flat out failed.

This review has to be longer than I have made it.....however, it would be just like the movie, a series of the exact things to be said.

Let me make it longer, don't waste money for seeing really nothing but about a series on 6 notes repeated.

I rarely get up and walk out of a movie but my son and I both agreed......I want something from the money that I spend.

Captain America was not inspiring in any way.",1
"This is one sequel that ran the original very close in terms of quality and audience interest. I am a huge fan of Sam Raimi & this was the main reason I gave this flick a chance due to his superb Evil Dead trilogy. The effects are excellent which I thought they would be having viewed the original film. Lots of action coupled with good acting performances particularly by Toby Maguire who I think was average in the first but really gets into his role in this. Twas funny to see Bruce Campbell (Ash) & Dan Hicks (Jake) both from Evil Dead 2 in bit part roles in this. ""Jake, you're holdin my hand too tight....!"" ""Baby, I ain't holdin your hand!""

Definitely gonna check out the 3rd installment in the series after this, lookin forward to it.

Check this film out.

Rating 7/10. Groovy.",7
"Must be people involved with the show, hoping to up the ratings and get people to watch. Not a good tactic, I'd say.

I tuned in because I'm a long-time Martin Short fan, but I found Short's energy and charm to be brought down by Steve Martin's character, who seems aloof, and by Selena Gomez's, who seems uncomfortable, not to mention rude.",6
"It had a few funny moments, but most lf it was just pretty goofy shock value type of stuff. And man was it long, I thought the sun would be coming up when I left the theater. Had they taken the basic concept and with the same actors, gotten rid of some of the artsy screen flashing montages, silly jumping pad stuff and shaved off 30 minutes towards the end I think this would be a pretty good movie. How it is sitting at nearly a 9/10 is beyond me.",2
"Enjoyable but so many small problems, casting, for instance. The girl playing Ciri spoils the whole show. She acts as if she were in a school play. Some of the monologues are quite long and have to much exposition. Most of all, the show doesn't do a great job with distinguishing timelines. There are two main ones, one happening in the present and one in the past but it's poorly presented. Also, the passing of time isn't shown very well. The mages live for multiply lifetimes but we don't really see it. On the other hand, some actors are great, so is the music and scenery. Definitely worth watching",7
"Can't believe so many people give this movie 5 and above (so many 10s :/) I honestly loved the 1st JW movie, liked n°2 & 3 but this one, OMG! Just because the movie is filled with action scene doesn't make it a great movie. Honestly it's wayyyyyy too long, the rythm is bad, the John Wick character and arc are uninteresting as hell, other characters are under-developped, too many CGI, and OMG the ending just sucks a** There are some good fight scene in the movie, that can't be denied, but there are also way too many non-sense as well (e.g. The scene in the Berlin club where people keep dancing lik nothing is happening while bullets fly and axes are being burried in heads right and there, come on...). Don't know if this review will be helpful, be just be aware of the false hype. JW4 is not a good movie, sorry.",2
"This movie is a waste of time. They wrote Adam sandler's character to be incredibly hate able. The characters are lame, the jokes are flat. There is nothing good about this or remotely redeemable. I'm not sure how anyone who watched this gave it anything higher than a 2.",1
"A very slow paced, many people would consider as boring movie except the last 15 Minutes. We are just waiting and it happens nothing. Bruce Lee's portrayal is an insult to all Martial Art fans and Bruce Lee's family. I think that Tarantino probably spent a day with Bruce Lee, otherwise he would not put his name in the dirt. Leonardo DiCaprio is playing like always Leonardo DiCaprio. Margot Robbie as always just pointing with her look. Brad Pitt cool as always.",2
"Season 1 was good but very slow pace,over all 8/10 season.

Season 2 average season but the addition of max saved the season 7/10 Season 3 was horrible and that all i am about to say about this season 1/10 Season 4 was a big hot mess, again saved by max and the vecna story is 10/10 as was Max's character.5/10 over all Bonus- they way that they violated lucas(from one of the main character to just a side piece) and his amazing relationship with max was criminal Also they bring amazing characters just to kill them.

Overall predictable no brave writing and bad character development, save by the cast every season.",7
"Lame boring story line with cool effect, annoying characters and so on... It shows how adults are way past stupid mode, and children are heroes :)) I mean ...c'mon!!! Really?

Bla bla bla, mistakes are made, bla bla bla same mistakes are made, bla bla bla ...again the same mistakes with the same things ...Show on how stupidity has no bounderies :)) not to mention bad acting from most of the main characters, especialy teenagers. For me it was so dissapointing at so many levels I can't think of one that made me stay through the whole series! I did a lot of forwarding even through the action scenes.",8
"Well, it did go on too long, but I enjoyed the relationships of the fathers and daughters displayed and the black hole he was experiencing that showed various time lines of his past in a sort of rubix cube overhead shot. It dragged on the one ice planet that makes them age by 7 years every hour. I also didn't think it had an ending. It kind of stopped.",7
"When the Oscar nominations were being gossiped about and the names for the potential movies were coming out, I didn't recognize any of them. Hadn't heard of them, obviously hadn't seen any of them and by the sound and/or look of them I didn't want to. Go with your instincts when you get this feeling... This movie was totally pointless to me... The acting may have been supreme but the movie itself I started fast forwarding halfway through it. I am so glad that the subtitles still remain on X2 speed so that I can get through the torture and see how it ends and then take it back to the video store...

didn't help that I ended up watching 2 movies in one evening back to back that I thoroughly didn't enjoy!",2

"Just a one word review. Awesome!The movie has its flaws but the way SRK has essayed each of his roles is just awesome. The first half is a treat and the intensity just drops a bit in the second not due to the acting but due to the flaw in the script. Some people might not like the ending but I feel it was perfectly ended.The movie does not have the jabra song, but genuinely speaking it was a good move as the movie requires no music. Traces of Darr in the second half but that could not be avoided.Supporting cast have done a decent job though not visible in the movie. But the movie is all about one and only SRK. He is just awesome. With Raees coming next we are in for a treat. Enjoy definitely a watch do not go on fake reviews!",9
"Bird Box is a bad movie about people who supposedly see something that causes them to commit suicide. A stupid idea - with idiotic performances and a bad script. The idea that there are some folks not effected by the creatures that go around forcing people to see them and die is beyond dumb.

Cheap direct to video type of film. There are no creatures to see - just shadows and leaves blowing around when the creatures are near.

Someone had seen A Quiet Place and thought ""hey let's do something similar, but with sight instead of sound"" with poor results.",4

"I rated this series with 8 out of 10 cause it's a good production, the pace is quite ok and acting is not bad either. Neither is it outstanding though. That's also the point of my review. This series has been a massive fanwank for me, all talking or writing about it, rating it with high marks, even turning it into Netflix's biggest hit. I don't get the hype. It's just another good series. I see absolutely nothing special in it. If it wasn't for all the hype I doubt anyone would remember it in a few years.",8

"UTTERLY intriguing, excellent dialogue. plots: They are elaborate, yet, totally spectacular. Sherlock will compel you to the edge of your seat and captivate you with this twenty-first century adaptation.

"Totally overrated

Just about watchable

Deep fake CGI is pretty crap and I hope it doesn't become popular in cinema

Ending sucked",2
"Where do I even begin to express my love for this show? Well, let's start with the overall composition of the whole thing. The soundtrack is mesmerizingly ominous to portray an upcoming tragedy that builds up properly and coincides with the scenes they are implemented in. the scenes that do lack music and ambience provide a sort of lingering terror to what is happening. Cinematography is beautiful and works to its corresponding scenes and establishes a world that is properly built. The pacing of the storyline is slow and at the same time intense. The show also just looks chilly to emphasize a world full of terror, and that's what I guess I'm trying to paint the world as, just objectively terrifying.

Now onto the cast. Everyone fits their role beautifully, even the supporting minor characters feel real and human, which is extremely difficult to do when you have such a huge number of people. Stellan Skarsgard and Jared Harris are particularly amazing and I'm glad they got a lot of screen time and the show knows just how much to balance the amount of time each character has in the show for it to not feel overbearing. Everyone else does a stellar job in portraying their characters and gave an in depth portrayal where they feel like actual human beings. The historical inaccuracies can be labelled as proper creative freedom. One such example is having one character play the role of the numerous scientists who worked to uncover what actually happened in Chernobyl. I am of course talking about Ulana Khomyuk played by Emily Watson. Her playing the role of several people work to the show's benefit as it makes it easier to follow the storyline from her point of view as the scientists. From an audience's perspective this was the right decision to make the flow of events easier to understand. Character motivations are well defined and realistic with just a hint of selfishness to them making them more human. The overall theme of the show, which is tragedy through humans, is done right by making human characters feel very real and grounded.

The threat of the show lies within the realm of reality and makes it relatable. Living in a world full of constant threats due to nuclear powers is powerful and imagining being in their shoes can be an enlightening experience. Losing our homes and becoming alienated is also an aspect that is explored later in the show and adds an incredible impact to how the world is built.

Overall the show is absolutely incredible and a powerful work of cinema, I guess the only reason why this isn't a 10/10 is more of a personal preference. I don't usually enjoy historical movies but this one I really love. Definitely give this a watch.",9
1. VFX... Terrible 2. Story ... Not attractive at all. No sense of the story 3. Acting... Good,5
"Building on the first volume, this self-adaptation by writer Mario Puzo and director Francis Ford Coppola develops the story of the new Don - ""Michael"" (Al Pacino). His attempts to expand, and to a certain extent legitimise, the family businesses see him associating with the duplicitous ""Hyman Roth"" (Lee Strasberg) in Cuba; subject to betrayal, assassination attempts and fighting what may be a losing battle to keep his own family together - all whilst doing plenty of Machiavellian manipulation of his own. There is an equally strong parallel thread depicting how his father ""Vito"" (Robert de Niro) rose to prominence after fleeing Sicily after the murder of his family at the hands of ""Don Ciccio"". With the principal characters all now well established, we can hit the ground running with a solid and complex set of inter-connected, character-driven storylines. The superior cast deliver this story really effectively - Robert Duvall and Diane Keaton as the consigliere and wife respectively, standing out. The attention to detail alongside the instantly recognisable Nino Rota score add amply to what is just a great story of Michael's efforts to build upon (and honour) his father's legacy, before he loses all of his own, once prevailing, decency. It is long, and it does miss Brando, but Pacino is on super form as the increasingly ruthless and isolated - even lonely - figure and I reckon this is every bit as good at the ""Godfather"" (1972).",8
"Disappointing movie due to weak story, OK there were a few

laughs but there was only one gag, someone talks to Bill Murray in

Japese for several long seconds and the translation comes back

as a one liner! Funny the 1st time but that is it. Interesting insight in

to life in Japan for a foreign executive, but so what . So I say again

disappointing movie.",4
"I have up after watching 5 min... It could be it gets better, but so far I haven't had the energy to waste my time with this show...",1
"A very good first episode. It doesn't give much a way, rather keeps you gripped and guessing what is going on.

Also, Oscar Isaac with some tremendous acting!",8
"So I like the style how the story is being told. I like weird etc. But I do not like this show. I cannot help it. I am struggling to keep watching. I am half way episode 2, I tried many times. But it is not clicking for me. It is boring, slow etc. Maybe it is like the grand budapest hotel. I cannot watch it after a while, I cannot laugh one moment. These are just not for me I think.",2
"Totally time wasting. Empty characters, uninteresting dialogues, silly story without any scientific background. (It's supposed to be Sci-Fi). There is no drama and there is no horror either.",2
"Fargo is easily one of the ten best films of all time. The acting is great, especially by Frances McDormand, Steve Buscemi, and William H Macy. Watching the events of a seemingly small time kidnapping turn into a multiple murder is an enjoyable experience in this film. You almost feel sorry for Buscemi, who just wanted his $40,000 but ends up killing all these people. It is also funny to watch him be so out of place among the hospitable Midwesterners. The whole film is a fun experience.",10
"Profanity : there were two uses of Jesus in the movie that we're not blaspheme, also one use of God at the very beginning. At the very end of the movie they used God D in a very inappropriate way which was blaspheming Him.",3
"The first hour of Now You See Me, while very corny and Hollywood, is nevertheless quite intriguing and entertaining. The second hour however, is a complete catastrophe. The story is already on shaky ground but degenerates into fanciful nonsense complete with a dreadful and highly predictable 'major' plot twist. The cast are unbearably smug, not least the horrifically one-dimensional Morgan Freeman, and the whole production feels like pure idiot-bait. If this kind of subject matter interests you but you have an IQ of 10+, I would recommend any of Derren Brown's shows instead.",2
"Let's face it, the movie wasn't good, and let's be honest here this movie wasn't even scary, not even suspenseful or thrilling, it was also predictable, and even if i was with my family and friends it didn't entertain me, this movie wasn't even worth the hype as well, but it's not those ""REALLY BAD"" movies it's still had some entertaining scenes and acting was good, 4.2/10",4
Once again a needless cash spinning insult to a classic. Excellent graphics but no where near the body or soul. Pathetic 2.5 stars,3
"""Glass Onion"" is a Comedy - Drama movie in which we follow five friends traveling to a Greek island to visit a common friend of theirs. Their host has arranged an event for their weekend, his own murder that his guests will be responsible for solving it.

Since I had already watched ""Knives Out"" of 2019 I had some expectations from this movie and I knew what to expect from it. The plot was very interesting and the combination of mystery with action created a nice atmosphere in the movie, something that made it even more interesting. The direction which was made for one more time as in ""Knives Out"" by Rian Johnson was exceptional and he presented very well his main characters, the connection between them and he also explained his own plot. The interpretation of Daniel Craig who played as Benoit Blanc was for one more time exceptional and he made the difference. Some other interpretations that have to be mentioned were Edward Norton's who played as Miles Bron, Dave Bautista's who played as Duke Cody, Kathryn Hahn's who played as Claire Debella, Leslie Odom Jr.'s who played as Lionel Toussaint and Janelle Monáe's who played as Andi Brand. Finally, I have to say that ""Glass Onion"" is a nice movie and I highly recommend everyone to watch it.",7
"Wow what a fall from grace! Luckily I didn't see this in theatres and waited for Netflix and it became very obvious this was a cash grab sequel hurriedly put together to make some money during the pandemic. To call this a ""mystery"" is a bit of a stretch. At the most it's a comedic satire with a sprinkling of mystery. Honestly I've seen better mysteries on tv and it's never a good sign when you can predict who did it before the detective finds out the killer..and the sad part is this story is more of ""why did it"" than ""who did it"" but even that is a bit meh. You just sit there thinking - Good for those actors and film makers..looks like they got a good pay cheque.",4
"Extraction makes a strong start and about half of the movie flies past before you get a breather. The action sequences have been shot to perfection, taking care to not overdo them. There's this one 11-minute long sequence which was filmed in one shot - it was really praiseworthy.

Chris deserves praise for portraying his character so convincingly. Action sequences were already his forte; but he absolutely nails the rare emotional bits as well.

The second half gets a little boring because of the lack of a proper storyline; there's only so much shooting and killing you can take before it becomes an element of gore. The nail-biting finish just isn't there. However, it's still a good film and definitely worth a watch.",7
"This is an unique film in Tamil cinema without any songs (or) lead actress. The plot happens in a night when the protagonist agrees to be the lorry driver to safely land the cops in the Commissioner office. The action sequences are realistic and carry forward the narration. Karthi was brilliant in his acting and stunt sequences. The narration jumps back and forth between the gangsters, lorry drive and the police station. A brilliant film that will not disappoint you!!! Do watch it!!",9
"A boring movie, if there is less than one star I will give it 0 or even in minus !!!",1
"Stellar performances and thoughtful storytelling. So interesting, I felt like each episode was a mini movie. It felt like I was transported to another place, and gave me a sense of what Hong Kong was like as well as the people who live there. The portrayal of each character was so realistic, and I was never bored. Yes Nicole Kidman is a bit distracting with her facial features, like others have said. But why are we focusing on that?? Surely, the fact that the main female character is not a perfect beauty, shouldn't be a reason to not like a show. The stories are both heart breaking and uplifting at the same time. Highly recommend!",10
"Taking it seriously, the show makes a hilarious mistake and creates a polished world of vampires and witches without the fright that made the genres enterteining. Its like seeing a vampire doing taxes. Ridiculous. The actors. Auditions are verry verry important. See Game of Thrones. They knew to select faces. besides acting. these actors are plain. no caracter, expresion on their faces. but this could be surpassed by dialog. unfortunately the dialog is banale, no wits, no nothing. iv seen heard people waiting in line with a conjunctural story more interesting. the dialog simply explains what we see. its not enough. watching this shiw is like getting on and on ,,get 24% extragold from monsters,, (yes, im.playing Diablo) In conclusion, the show is not memorable, not even good. could be ok for genre fans. but thats is it.",6
Succcchhhh a waste of time. 2 hours and 30 minutes of complete nothing for 11 minutes (MAX) of action. My god. Don't waste your time.,3
"Directed by Vikas Bahl, QUEEN actually works instantly since it breaks all the set molds of a Hindi film as soon as the girl moves out to her foreign destination to enjoy a honeymoon alone! And when in Paris, you get to see her coming out of her closed, conservative shell like no other Hindi film has shown till date, to be honest. Yes, the plot does remind you of films such as FRENCH KISS (1995) and our own English VINGLISH (2012) also based on a lady's self discovery. But the similarities end right there and QUEEN comes out as a true representative of the new age entertaining cinema, we have been looking for from quite long.

The film is a winner straight away since it remains unpredictable right from its first scene till the last, offering many unseen sequences in a remarkable style. And then it's a very fresh, lively and honest depiction of the foreign life which truly adds to the overall feel of the film quite brilliantly. The other major winning perspective of QUEEN is that this is not a stereotype love story being told with a foreign angle. In fact it is not a love story at all in the first place and is more about the blessed journey of a depressed girl, who rediscovers a new self, after meeting another girl living her life at her own terms all alone, taking its full responsibility whatsoever.

So actually QUEEN is all about women-liberation, but this liberation is not meant from any evil clutches of the men. On the contrary here the liberation is pointing towards getting free from herself and from her own set parameters which force her to questionably give away the reins of her life in the hands of a man, without asking any questions or getting any clear commitments for the future. It's a 150 minutes joyride which is certainly going to be enjoyed more by the women as its about them and their undisclosed aspirations only which remain hidden in most of the cases just to get buried or burnt along with their lifeless bodies in the end. So for a change, here we have the men playing the supporting cast taking the rarely acquired back seat and the film is all about the women superbly led by one of the most under-rated actress of our times, Kangana Ranaut.

As clearly conveyed in its promos, QUEEN begins with Kangana and ends on Kangana too like very few Hindi films dare to do. The immensely talented girl who was mostly considered as a misfit in the fixed Bollywood format earlier just grabs this rare opportunity thrown towards her like a wounded tigress and then delivers a performance which is sure going to give a tough competition to her contemporaries like Parineeti Chopra, Alia Bhatt and more in the next rounds of awards ceremonies, without any doubt. Her flawless, natural act is simply spectacular in the film as Rani played in a cheerful mode. Plus such is the innocent brilliance in her truthful performance that the viewer just has the girl only in his or her mind while walking out of the theater and that too with all positivity and smile on the faces in a highly satisfying mode.

However beginning with a highly enjoyable & entertaining first half, the film does tend to become a bit long in its few sequences of the second half (which required a wise editing). Plus it also takes some (fairly allowed) cinematic liberties in its basic storyline too leaving quite a few things unexplained about its key characters in the end. But fortunately Kangana never lets you feel these shortcomings frankly and the progression even makes a more solid impact once she returns back home and decides to do the unexpected quite daringly. The climax fills in a new life back into the film and I was really relieved that it didn't have something of the routine in its final moments.

Apart from the spellbinding act by Kangana, the other great insightful features of the film deserving a special mention are its writing (dialogues), cinematography, costume designing and background score which give an extremely important and appreciable edge to the product in terms of ""A Balance maintained.""

Musically, QUEEN has indeed got a worth listening, interesting soundtrack with a few peppy dancing tracks like ""London Thumakda"", ""O Gujariya"", ""Jugni"" and more soothing ones such as ""Badra Bahaar"", ""Taake Jhaanke"", ""Harjaaiyan"", ""Ranjha"" & ""Kinare"" sung well. Moreover it also teaches how a perfect tribute can be paid to the great songs of our Golden Era by using the track ""Maine Hothon Se Lagayi To"" from ANHONEE in a superb style with some fine added arrangements.

In the supporting cast, Rajkummar Rao shines in his short role and it was really sporting of him to accept such a miniscule part at this crucial time of his career. Lisa Haydon is truly a delight to watch both in terms of beauty and dialogues complimenting Kangana in her every next step with confidence and all the foreign actors do add their own bit sincerely to make it a worth watching film in its final hour. Still, the ones really giving you a great time in the theater are the actors playing Kangana's family members especially the father, kid brother and the grandmother giving her a lovely life teaching advice sitting out of the locked door.

To sum up QUEEN is a charmingly entertaining film, which many might rate as just a multiplex movie or something taking our Indian traditions for a toss and more. But for others QUEEN is the next step forward in our Indian Cinema and the effort surely needs to be applauded by one and all, loudly.",8
"Woody is an actor that doesn't do many movies a favor by the mere fact that he is in it. Zombieland is not ""good"" because of Woody. It's good because of Jesse Eisenberg. Most other Woody movies aren't that lucky. This movie is one of those. There's no one to carry this movie that anyone cares about. Woody is the woke icing on the cake. Can Hollywood investors not understand that when you cast violently woke actors like Woody and Clooney you have a 78% higher chance of losing your money than otherwise? Maybe they just need a write-off. Personally I like making money, not losing it. And that's why I focus on things people want to see and nothing they don't. And I stay the f away from politics. You take a stand? You just alienated 50% of your potential customers. What idiot would do that? Someone with Soros or Bezos money to burn and that's it. So don't waste your time on this one. Watch the first one again after a few drinks and it'll seem like a new movie to you. That's what my wife does and it's hilarious. But hey, it works.",1

"I'm not judging this movie against the Harry Potter series, just on its own and on its own, it's a boring mess of a movie. There's far too much time is spent on the CGI beasts and they're not that interesting nor are they original (the little green creature is a weak Groot ripoff).

The other big flaw in the movie is Eddie Redmayne, he's awful. He mumbles throughout the movie, his daft 'aw-shucks' routine is grating and he never seems to understand the seriousness of what's happening around him.

The positives are Katherine Waterston, Alison Sudol, Colin Farrell. The true star of the movie (for me anyway), Dan Fogler.",5
I was excited to see this show since I love Elizabeth Olsen and the concept sounded great. I barely made it through the first episode but decided it had to get better. It didnt. I pulled the plug mid-way through Episode 3.,1
"Director Jon Favreau expands on the success of the first film. The dialogue crackles, the special effects pop, and the action onscreen never slows down. During the next hour or so, though, everything all begins to break apart slowly and imperceptibly. Downey, Rockwell, and Rourke are all having a great time, but Don Cheadle's role as Stark's redundant buddy-cum-sidekick Rhodes is redundant. 'Iron Man 2' is gleaming, endearing, and never dull.

However, it's wildly unequal and overly complicated. The film leaves the audience feeling unfulfilled and yearning for more. Let's hope the series' potential is realized in the planned third installment.",6
"Having just watched a woman drag her tween daughter out of the movie, trailed along a bit after by a couple of older sorts, I can tell you this movie is not what some people have envisioned.

It is not a light-hearted children's film. It is PG-13 for a reason and also if you haven't taught your daughter the word ""patriarchy"" yet, that might be something to cover first.

Second, it's not a paean to the Barbie doll, Barbie collectors, or Mattel as a corporation. Honestly, I'm not sure how they're signed on as producers except perhaps to prove the point that the corporation is all about a cash grab.

(The execs come across as buffoons and their talking points about being there for little girls are definitely shredded in the early encounters. No room to come back.)

So while many went into the theater this weekend expecting a fun movie, not everyone will enjoy the show.

---

I personally thought it was ok--not as grand as expected, but I got to the end well enough.

The acting was the fun part, especially Ryan Gosling as the air headed and thwarted Ken--voice of male fragility.

Songs are catchy ear worms. The sets are marvelous pop art pink and scaled to make things look doll-like.

The plot is a weak point, I'll admit, being very simplistic.

Honestly, however, I kind of expected that. (So unlike the women above neither stomped nor snuck out.)

Mainly the message is to crush the patriarchy (ok--but where is Allan's role in this patriarchy and why is a pregnant Midge so looked down on, even now?

And since the ending sees Mattel theoretically still ramping production, what did we actually learn from this messaging anyhow?)

If the pitch was to be a pivot to a modernized Barbie, I'm not sure that marketing campaign did any favors. And if it was that humanism is more important than corporate greed, the associated marketing merch kind of undercut the message, too.

At any rate, the directoral easter eggs kept me going through all of it (call back cinematic opening is just the start) So there's good news and bad news, and maybe it's cost sunk fallacy making me give the film a seven. But I thought it was ""OK,"" so here we are.",7
"Are you kidding me? Can this actress look anymore like Kristen Stewart? Even though the book was a similar story to Twilight, any differences were undone by this TV series. They made this story into Twilight. I'm actually disgusted.",4
"First season was awesome, acting and everything was good, but second season is worst of the worst, it is too slow, too boring, felt forced and totally useless, little bit of overacting this time.

I am giving 5 stars, 3.5 for first season and 1.5 for first episode of the second season.",5
"First came the stories, then came the games, and now we have the best cinematic adaptation yet. As a fan of the games and the books (in that order) i thoroughly enjoyed the series and watched all of it in less than 2 days. 8 episodes with a total of nearly as many hours of viewing pleasure, The witcher takes you along on Geralt's story as we learn what he's all about. Yennefer discovers what it truly means to be a sorceress and one of the most powerful people on the continent. And Ciri is a child of destiny, with a tragic past and a more tumultuous future ahead.

I especially enjoyed the casting / character of Jaskier.",8
"Unlike Game of Thrones, which I was addicted to throughout its entire run because it had so many amazing characters to root for, House of the Dragon has almost no likable characters. Characters like Rhaenyra and Daemon I find only slightly less despicable than Alicent and her family. Also such a weird decision to change the actresses for Rhaenyra and Alicent during the time jump but keep the same actor for Daemon?! The only character who I truly liked was Rhaenys and I also liked the Velaryons. I just really miss having noble characters like Jon Snow, Brienne, and Arya. Or the mystical stuff like the Three Eyed Raven. I miss House Stark!

On the plus side, the show looks amazing as expected from HBO. The costumes, elaborate sets, and use of The Volume make every episode look like a big budget movie.

While I enjoyed the soundtrack, nothing really stood out to me the way certain tracks stood out from the original show. I wish they had done something more original for the opening credits song like play it in a different style than the original series.

Anyway, I'll probably keep watching it but I'm much more interested in some of the other spinoff ideas that are floating out there like the confirmed Dunk and Egg series as well as the potential Jon Snow continuation series.",7

"What an incredible film, it perfectly builds on the first movie to create one of the greatest superhero movies of all time. It was a bold choice to have Spider-Man lose his powers for a good chunk of the movie, but it works so well because it allows use to see Peter Parker as a person, and the movie becomes a brilliant character study about him. The special effects still look great today, like the subway scene still looks so real. The ending was extremely satisfying, both in terms of beating the villain and having the perfect solution to Peter's personal struggles. It felt earned, we went on a journey with Peter to get there.",10
"This movie has more in common with The Mask than it does with Venom. Sony just needs to let it go. I am by far not a fan of Disney, but they do make descent comic book movies.",4
"Forrest gump is an overrated movie that has just a lot of smart ideas going for it. by no stretch of the imagination is this movie a classic, and most definitely did not deserve the oscars that year. i hate to say it again, but i think its the academy's fascination with americanism that makes it chose movies like this one, saving private ryan & american beauty over other outstanding movies from those years.

the series of anecdotes that link up gump's simple life to world-changing historical events are quite cute and makes u smile a bit, but really thats all the movies has going for it - that and tom hanks' captivating performance. but again, as has been said before by many others - a slightly over-rated movie.

"Ovi Mahajan is the son of an imprisoned drug lord in Mumbai. He gets kidnapped and held prisoner in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Mercenary Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth) is recruited to rescue the boy.

Sam Hargrave is the stunt coordinator for the Russo brothers and they seem to have given him his first chance at directing a full length feature. He does a perfectly adequate job with the highlight being the action sequences as one would expect from an experienced stunt coordinator. That's not to say that this is one stunt after another. There are some good stuff in between. The exterior locations are exotic. There are some good Indian actors in the villain roles. The roof top scene with the kids is fun. I would suggest a different way to go with Ovi. I would go younger and make it a girl to heighten the danger. It should be Man on Fire. One thing that does occur to me. Hemsworth is doing his Rambo in this movie and he could do the remake.",6

"I haven't watched Marvel's previous long-running shows like Agents of Shield, but after Wandavision, I probably won't dare put high expectations on Marvel shows from now on.

Even though Falcon and Winter Soldier's story was a bit better than Wandavision's, everything was still disappointing for me.

From start to finish, we feel like we're watching a 5-hour family-friendly trailer where the good, the right things are presented with a lot of information about a world after Endgame and a few scenes that try to be funny. The story has no depth. Too many holes, forced scenes, lifeless characters. They are like lifeless shadows with expensive outfits but cannot connect with the viewer's emotions.

The action scenes are the highlight of this show. Perhaps this is the only positive thing compared to Wandavision, where everything is painted with CGI. I quite enjoy the action scenes. And Falcon's suit, too. Very interesting, eye-catching.

Actually, the story of Falcon and WS could have been an interesting mountain where there were plots, spies and sacrifices, but it turned out to be just a pond behind the house.",5
"All the writers had to do was to take the book and put it into the movie, but they decided they want to do their own thing, and managed to completely destroy a good story.

Season 1 was okay, it was a bit weird with constant jumps, but overall it was kinda fun, and I hoped things would only get better from there. Oh boy, how I was wrong.

Season 2 got progressively worse with every episode. Season 3 is absolutely horrible. It seems as if the writers desperately want to change the story, but whenever they do it just sucks and they have no idea how to progress it, so they go back to the books storyline, but now with their added content the story no longer makes sense.

It's just a pain to watch. Mostly because of the writers.",4
"I was never a fan of the original series. To me it was too campy and light-hearted given the family's circumstance. The only really interesting character was Dr. Smith and even his one-note self-absorbtion grew tiresome after a while. This reboot is very different. Darker. Less campy. More drama. And to me the tone seems far more appropriate than the original. The story is compelling and moves forward at a nice clip. The family dynamics are - well, not real-world realistic, but for TV they are above average realistic. The main theme, which I would say is ""stick together and listen to one another because the world is dangerous and unpredictable"" is timely and appropriate. Maxwell Jenkins, the young actor who plays Will is compelling to watch. He's quite good. And I love the robot - his design, his ""character"" are quite good as well. Having said that the writing does have a few clunkers. There are a few times when you say, ""Wait, what?"" One example, a pond that freezes solid in 20 seconds, but the people standing next to it don't. But there's far more good than bad about the show. If you expect to see the original series you won't find it here. But if you're open to a new version of the story this is an above-average TV sci-fi show. Finally, I feel compelled to address the many critical comments I've seen about the ""PC-ness"" of the show. Judy is played by an actress-of-color. Personally, I didn't care. It's not relevant at all to the story. If you find it hard to believe that humans of different color can be a family, I suggest the issue is with you, not the show. Maureen is not an obedient 1950s TV mom. She has ideas and opinions of her own and fights for what she believes is right. Again, I don't see the issue. And frankly, her strength does not reduce John's strength. Part of the show is about the two of them learning how to work together. Again, that seems timely and relevant. In our current socio-political climate, I'm not surprised some people don't like the show. No doubt they will see it as political ""indoctrination"". I guess if all people being created equal is indoctrination, then yes, I guess it is.",7

"'Eternal Sunshine' is another brain-bending riddle from screenwriter Charlie Kaufman. I didn't like 'Being John Malkovich' or 'Adaptation,' but I thought 'Eternal Sunshine' was really a good movie. Long, but good.

This is a movie with an interesting concept: how do people deal with bad situations? Here, a company offers permanent repression of memory.

The story focuses on Joel (Jim Carrey) and Clementine (Kate Winslet), two people who awkwardly meet and fall in love (I suppose). But, their lack of communication skills prevents any sort of meaningful relationship. Over time, they grow weary of other.

This are the most interesting, surrealistic scenes and once that force to you realize that everything you're seeing about Joel was a memory or something erased from his memory (pay close attention when you watch it again to the beginning scenes prior to Joel's going to the clinic).

During the latter part of the memory wipe, Joel starts to concentrate on all the good times that he and Clementine had, realizing that he is still in love with her. And the latter part of the memory wipe is Joel trying to manipulate his memories to hide them from the fast sweep of the memory wipe process. Essentially, he tries to manipulate his memories and save Clementine in another part of his brain. It is like Atreyu being chased by the Nothing and salvaging what he can of Fantasia. Joel is salvaging what he can of Clementine and in the end, memory wipe doesn't seem like the best solution afterall (although, Joel probably would've gone for a technique that just wiped out the bad and kept the good).

But the interesting part is the finale. Because, these people continue to have their memory wiped again and again (making it one wealthy enterprise, no less). Although, what I don't understand is why would those people keep doing exactly the same thing that led up to meeting that other person (or doing whatever it was the they had erased). Would Joel jump on the train to Montauk (something that seemed out of the ordinary at the time, anyway) every day after he got his memory wiped? So, even as an old man getting his memory erased for the umpteenth time, would he be compelled to go on the train to Montauk and start all over again? It seems pretty stupid.

Though this movie is somewhat long, given that you're forced to follow Joel through every single damned memory of Clementine, the repetition is somewhat alleviated by this surrealistic journey until the whole thing becomes so totally bizarre and the situation for Joel so desperate. In the end, the movie suggests that it is more painful to try to ignore everything (and very counterproductive), instead of just trying to face those problems. It seems like Joel and Clementine, two eccentrics, seem really happy together when things are going well. If they just would've honestly confronted their problems, they wouldn't need the memory, and they'd have probably been a couple that was well off for as long as they could be (not to say that happy endings last forever).

Kaufman's surrealistic style strikes gold here, as does a pretty fantastic cast. Especially, Jim Carrey proves he doesn't have to overact to do well. Although, I must say Elijah Wood does take yet another weird part as Patrick, the lab assistant, who tries to steal Joel's identity in order to woo Clementine. But, the whole movie is really Carrey and Winslet.",7
"Interstellar is like watching a slide show of landscapes to very loud music, interrupted occasionally by stupidly bright lights, while a stranger whispers a rather tedious hard to catch story about a dream they had in one ear and another stranger just occasionally screams as violently and obnoxiously as possible in the other ear.

I have to expand my article to get it submitted so I'll labour on - like the film. The film jumps across two or three stories which in their own right would have been able to contain their own film. The effects and the space travel sequences seem borrowed from 2001: A Space Odyssey. The characters don't work together and their motives make little to no sense. There are two funny lines from a robot though it you're willing to sit through two hours forty minutes for that....",3
"There are two ways to look at Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.

1. Comparing it to the usual Bollywood flick. 2. Talking about the movie itself. Here's my review if I compare it to the rest of the Bollywood flicks (especially) biopics like Bose – The Forgotten Hero. The movie is fantastic. Running at 3 hours and 20 minutes, it very precisely and beautifully shows what made Milkha, Milka! For the first time ever the painful partition of Indian into India and Pakistan was shown without Hindu-Muslim-Sikh chanting slogans. In fact not even faces of the people coming to vandalize Milkha's Sikh family are show. The director uses his cinematic intelligence to show it from the viewpoint of a 10-11 year old kid. Brilliantly shot and presented, that piece is. The screenplay is again brilliant and much like Rang De Basanti, the director has used different hues to show the different times. Scenes are interwoven nicely and the narration flows seamlessly. The research the director had done clearly shows on screen. Post partition, young Milkha is shown sitting on the boundary of the structure which hosts the refugee camp. This shot has taken inspiration from a real image wherein a Sikh kid is shown sitting on the boundary overlooking the tents. Shahdara is shown a part of UP (as it was) and Milkha's father is shown eating in a copper-alloy plate and is just a roti and ghee!

If I talk about the movie standalone? The best part about the movie is Farhan Akhtar as Milkha Singh. You can see his transformation on-screen and he's lived up the athlete more than convincingly. Pawan Malhotra and Yograj Singh walk shoulder to shoulder with Farhan Akhtar in terms of their acting.

I guess that's where the best things about movie end. The director (or probably the editor) has simply wasted Misha Shafi. The good looking girl from Pakistan ends up saying a line or two in 2 different scenes. That's about her! Divya Dutta was under-utilized. She is one of the brilliant actors we have in Indian Film Industry. However, she wasn't able to live up to her magnitude. Sonam Kapoor was simply a waste and I am glad she just charged director Rs. 11 for her role. Can you imagine a girl calling India, India in 50s? Can you imagine a guy holding his lover's face in public? And how can you tolerate to see mobile towers in background behind dancing heroine? In fact Rebecca Breeds was able to leave an impression! And a good one for that matter.

Furthermore, why does the hero has to sing and dance? Why can't we have songs playing over montage sequences? The movie is too long and saving 30-40 minutes would have made the movie much more interesting.",6

"This film was so biased and totally one sided, portraying us Russians as ruthless and generally emotionless people.

I've read the book and played the games and I did not understand a f*ing thing. Why Nextflix put all the books in 1 season if they going to film at least 7seasons? Why they didn't wanna buy a good pair of colour lenses (lenses always make Geralt look like he has got a strabismus) and a good wig? Why they dodn't hire good artist for CGI and good costume designers? Why would they call this show The Witcher if they show Yennifer and Ciri more than Geralt? Why did they make Geralt so hysterical? Why did they make Jaskier so stupid? And why in the hell Geralt would punch Jaskier???? What makes them friends??? Looks like Geralt hates him (for no reason) and Jaskier is too stupid to understand this?????? And how Jaskier grew old so well that he didn't even change since the banquet tho it's been atleast 12 years?? What is happening?? I got so many questions but i don't really want to know the answers... I just want 8 hours of my life back.,1
"If it takes 4 episodes to make a miniseries passable, it's a failed miniseries. The first episode is unwatchable trash pretending to be old unwatchable trash. I don't want to see the next episode, I hope it stops at one, the universe will worse off with this idiotic show.",1
"A painted fruit bowl will not make you cry. It won't make you terrified. It's not romantic either and it won't change your mind on what you already thought about fruits. Yet it can still be a masterfully painted fruit bowl where al the fruits are beautifully portrayed by the artist the way they are. The Godfather is such a movie.

Just like most fruit bowl paintings, you wouldn't know if you had to root for the apple or the grapes. And during the entire movie you already know the fruits only have 2 possible outcomes: getting eaten or getting rot. I could go on with my analogy but I think you get the point. (edit: I will go on anyway)

Will you like this film? Well, some people will stand in front of a perfectly painted fruit bowl for 5 minutes and become utterly bored because of the subject. Others can stand there for days being amazed by the details on the apple, and discovers new perfections every time they are watching the painting.

There is no good or wrong here. Everyone has their personal taste. After watching The Godfather you know what kind of person you are. I absolutely do recommend you watch it for yourself. At the end fruit bowl paintings (or other versions of still lives) have become very iconic and appreciated. Hopefully i made you hungry to see this masterfully crafted icon of a movie called The Godfather.",2
"Ambitious mess, its not a polished jewel without flaws.

Can see this having true potential and understand people admiring the fearlessness more then the result and giving it a 10.

Think you can go watch this if you expect it to be a 5/10 that is flawed and with a good mood you can still enjoy the experience. Go to it expecting a 10 and think your doomed.

There is certainly things in this movie to enjoy indeed think it has to many ingredient. The acting of Ken and Barbie are great ironical they get to show off their range by literally barbie/ken.

"Spielberg clearly and for sure is one of the best film directors around as his movies are personal, and historical and they let the imagination escape. Well with his latest ""The Fabelmans"" it is his own autobiography life like story as he grew up as a young boy in post War War II Arizona. It follows the life of the Fabelman family with dad the bright Burt(perfect Paul Dano) who's a smart engineer and he lives a happy life it seems with wife Mitzi(the sunshine like performance from Michelle Williams) and his kids in tow, however little boy Sammy seems special and life changes for him and the family after Sammy sees his first big screen movie out at the cinema. His interest is to start making his own movies at home starting with filming and taking pictures of a train set, then by getting his first camera homemade movies begin, only gradually it's on to bigger and better things with a movie camera as Sammy makes family like documentary pictures and his journey and love of film has him filming friends and his school life. Along the way a move to California opens his eyes even more as Sammy is closer to the land of Hollywood and movies however struggles of growing up dealing with school, peer pressure, and finding love all factor into Sammy's life. Also a family secret is revealed that involves mom Mitzi and a past family friend in Bennie(Seth Rogen). This splits the family up from dad Burt, however nothing will stop Sammy in the pursuit of his dream of loving film and movies as to make images on the big screen is his dream. Overall wonderful film of life as it's introduction to dreams blends well with family again this is a super coming of age story that proves art and life intersect to become real.

"The Change-Up (1:52, R) — fantasy: body switching, 2nd string, original

At one time there were a couple of body-switching movies every year, but they've been thinning out lately, with Son of the Mask (2005), The Shaggy Dog (2006), and 17 Again (2009) being the most recent (unless you count 2008's Benjamin Button, which was a kinda, sorta example). So Producer-Director David Dobkin must have figured that what the subgenre needed was a good shot in the ... um, no, not arm, uh, mouth! Yeah, that's it, a shot in the mouth! With a nice, juicy jet of baby poo.

Yes, this movie is R-rated. And not because, like its Chuckoid predecessors or the aspiring- to-respectability Fallen, it's loaded with graphic, gratuitous violence. No, THIS movie's R stands for repeated ribaldry and raunch. Fortunately, I have a high tolerance — if not an outright appreciation — for such fare. YMMV.

To be fair, there are some quiet scenes, a few moments that verge on tender and sentimental, but they serve mainly as points of contrast.

Jason Bateman plays Dave Lockwood, a steady, serious, hard-working guy, a successful lawyer, decent husband, and devoted father of a young girl and twin infants. He occasionally takes his nose off the grindstone long enuf to lament ""I missed all the sex and the drugs and the bad decisions.""

Ryan Reynolds (on display elsewhere as Green Lantern) plays Mitch Planko, Dave's best bud since 2nd grade, who didn't miss ANY of that stuff. HIS problem is that he's adrift, aimless, unshaven, and unaccomplished. He looks at Dave's happy family and enviously remarks ""You're surrounded by people who give a sh¡t about you!"". (He isn't aware how literally true this is.)

After a boys' night out, they're both tipsy and stop to take a leak into a huge ornamental stone fountain in a city park. While a dour marble goddess looks down on them in evident disapproval, they simultaneously blurt ""I wish I had your life."" As they zip up and walk away, we see she's now smiling. Next morning their wishes have come true.

They fail to convince Dave's wife Jamie (Leslie Mann) of what's happened, so they decide to maintain the pretense until they can once again pee in the fountain to reverse the switch. This turns out to be harder than they expected, because it's being relocated and can't immediately be tracked down. So each gets to play the other for a few days.

They start out not being very good at each others' jobs — or the rest of their lives, either — but then gradually start getting the hang of it. Not so much so that they want to STAY switched, of course, but they each learn something about the proper balance between seriousness and slackerdom.

The script and pacing are uneven, and some of the situations are played overbroadly, which undercuts whatever sense of realism the completely unrealistic premise has tried to achieve for those who have willingly suspended their disbelief. It's impossible to believe, for instance, that even the fake Dave would behave so boorishly in the merger meeting or be so cavalier about babies playing with sharp kitchen instruments. And, despite the fact that every guy alive feels free to keep reading the menu after he's already ordered, the real Dave is such a straight arrow that even Olivia Wilde is unlikely to lure him into making sportive use of his friend Mitch's handy romantic equipment.

The convention for such movies is that all personalities are returned to their rightful bodies in time for the denouement, during which all engage in saccharine bromides about how they've learned to appreciate what they have in life. So too here. In between there are enuf adventures and chuckles to keep you reasonably well entertained, as long as you aren't expecting Shakespeare. It aspires to be a comedy, and there are plenty of errors, but it's no Comedy of Errors.",5
"It's films like this that give repulsive, self-centered yuppies a bad name! Pretentious, unfocused and boring it's beyond me how this film managed to get made in the first place. The fact that it managed to win all kinds of awards and even develop some kind of a cult following is even more baffling. For starters the plot(for lack of a better word) is totally incomprehensible, so I won't even go there. The characters are even worse. Not one of them is even half-way close to being sympathetic. A good psychiatrist wouldn't touch any of this crew with a 10-foot couch. Bluntly put they deserve each other. Nuff said. It was more than a decade after sitting through this before I would willingly watch an Andie McDowell movie. As for the rest of the cast well...

We kept thinking it must get better - but sadly no. As others have commented, the acting was poor, possibly due to the incredibly idiotic story line. The dancing looked like a high school music review, the singing - lets just say if you slept through it you were blessed. How this movie got so many awards is beyond me. I thought maybe it was my age. I called my millennial son who also watched it with his wife and they both agreed it was a poor movie.",1
"Well, what can I say? If you haven't watched this film, get up and watch it! In my opinion this is one of the best Marvel films since The Avengers. Clever dialogue and good old fashion story telling is what makes this movie so fantastic. First of all I would like to say how pleasantly surprised I was by the introduction of Spider Man into the Marvel Cinematic universe. It was a beautiful transition and I particularly like how Tony Stark fills the mentor role in Spidey's life.

Another awesome intro was Black Panther. The character is well portrayed by Chadwick Boseman and I greatly look forward to watching the Panther stand alone movie next year. Chadwick adds new depth to the film, a depth the movie used to its advantage.

Daniel Brühl's portrayal of Baron Zemo (or Zemo) is understated which enhances the movie greatly. Brühl's performance is not the copy and paste villain who seems to populate a lot of Marvel movies. Instead he is credible and, unusually, the audience can sympathise with him.

The Russo brothers didn't disappoint at all. Their inspired direction really brings the film to life. The added aspect of Stark's origin ties the bow perfectly for me personally. Every frame feels painstakingly analysed which is the trademark of a good director (or should I say directors).

Overall, the performances are spectacular and the structure of the story is very well organised. However, I do feel like this is more of an Iron Man/Avengers movie than a Captain American one. This isn't a problem though, as every character is developed just enough. I would give Captain America: Civil War 8 out of 10 because this is everything a comic book movie should be.",8

"This movie is very crude and crass with very frank language, but that's what makes it clever and better than recent films in this genera. The conversation the guys have about girls and dating sounded like something you would really hear close friends talk about in private. Things like that are what made it very funny. Seth and Evan are two high school seniors whom generally don't get invited to parties. But, Jules the girl Seth likes is having a party and after overhearing they have a fake ID to get alcohol invites them to her party. Their buddy Fogell, aka Mclovin, is the one with the ID, so the rest of the movie involves what happens when Mclovin goes to a liquor store to purchase alcohol and then their attempt to make it to the party. About everything that can go wrong does.

The cops were a hoot. They take Mclovin to a bar, let him play with a gun, and drink on the job. I hope the real police don't act like that. And Seth and Evan have their own problems, they keep getting hit by cars and wind up at a party where cocaine is involved and get into fights.

All 3 finally make it to Jules' party. Do Seth and Evan get the girls they pine for? Could this movie get any more vulgar? Watch to find out.

FINAL VERDICT: If you think vulgar, crass teen films are very funny, then you will like this. I thought it was funny.",7
"It's obvious a lot of the 9's and 10's were written by people who only saw the first episode or 2. The show starts off really good, even if it greatly alters Steven's persona from the comics. However as the show goes on, it just gets disappointing to downright cheesy and lame. Whenever the action is about to kick off, it conveniently skips to a literal black out until it's all over. Disney has to maintain that PG 13 rating smh.

By the final episode it goes full woke. You have the female character who is the pinnacle of humanity: never makes a mistake, doesn't need a man's help, and is recuing the male hero while able to hold her own. I mean she becomes a superhero for 4 minutes and is better than Mark who's been Moon Knight for over a decade? Seriously Disney y'all didn't learn from Rey in the Sequel Trilogy. Sigh. I guess I'll be taking a break from Disney+ again now that my free trial is over. Maybe in a year or two they'll have better stuff...but I doubt it.",4
"Ridiculous script (you can actually see Ben flinch a few times, as he's made/paid to deliver his lines), with plot holes as big as King's ego... Not even sure what to tell you about cinematography. Those camera angles, man! Someone likes to keep it low, and play with their depth of field like a goddamn first year photography student with a glass eye. Absolutely no point in watching this after the first episodes... then again, why watch only the first couple of episodes of anything, then quit? May as well not bother. Not even if it is HBO (fyi, not all their stuff is actually GOOD).",1
Excellent Story Telling Direction and Cast. Mainly Rajkummar Rao you are a Gem.,9
"This movie is one of the Greatest Mafia Movies of all-time in my view! The depiction of a Mafia Family was really the focus of this movie! Deniro, Pacino, and Brando clearly killed this movie! I mean the scene where they took you back to the old country and showed how the first God father became the Boss of all Bosses was stellar! This movie can be watched over and over again! I've been watching this movie for over 25 plus years! Clearly a great classic!!!!!!!",10
"(read full)Umbrella Academy is amazing. Rarely do you see films that have music that ups the tempo, and gives the scene a dark comical feel to it; even the scenes with violence,blood or sentiment. The acting is simply brilliant, in every single episode, the actors and actresses outdo themselves to create the awkwardness always found in a family. Robert Sheehan (is that how u spell his name?) and Aidan Gallagher were the most memorable characters, with the two spectrums of chaotic displayed on screen. As well as that the whole series tore down stereotypes and how certain people are viewed. Diego, for example, is expected to be a stereotypical masculine image; instead we see that he is the pure opposite;he enjoys cooking, he loves his mom, is scared of needles and is an expert at the fishing pole move. Klaus is expected to be a stereotypical junkie; crazy, uncaring and unlikeable. As the series continue we see that Klaus, even though he has been abused for his whole life, is the first to comfort his siblings; even nearly dying to save Luther the Monky. As a summary i leave u a small list as to why u should watch -GAYS -funky goth boi trying his best _MONKYMONKYMONKY -some nice AlAbAmA -mama boi ,sibling rivalry with Monky -13 year old with high levels of maturity and worrying attachment to a mannequin -the big sad -tentacle kink boi -and a monocle",9
"10? Really? You're saying Good Omens is absolutely perfect? If anybody really believes that, public schooling needs to be completely dismantled because it has proven to be an abject failure.

Good Omens isn't terrible tv. It's just not funny, ironic, clever or original...all things the book is. I don't blame the actors. Everyone tries very hard...which is one of the problems. You know the material is mediocre at best, if the actors look like they're just going through the paces.

I mean, only an idiot would turn down such an easy paycheck.

No. The fault lies with the morons who accept dreck like this as entertainment. It's how kardashians became billionaires.

Oh well. It's good to know who will be first to go in the purge.",5
"Horrible Hannah-Montana episode. I couldn't understand the plot as it made no sense. The visual effects are amazing but it can't compensate for the mess you see on the screen for 2.5 hours. Waste of time, like previous parts, like most out the Marvel junk.",2
"Christopher Nolan directed this complex and intelligent film that stars Leonardo Dicaprio as Dom Cobb, an extraction specialist(he can enter the dreams of people and steal their secrets) who is called upon to do a special job; instead of extracting, he'll be implanting an idea, but Cobb's own personal guilt regarding his wife may trap he and his team in a dream-like limbo unless he can tell the difference between a ""dream"" and ""reality"", which is made difficult by there being multiple levels of dreams going on at once...

Fine cast, script, and direction, though does give the impression of being too convoluted and ""layered"" for its own good. Still, this is well worth seeing regardless, and remind viewer of earlier Nolan films like ""Following"" and ""Memento"", not to mention the 1984 film ""Dreamscape"".",7
"I found this movie intriguing, but only because I have seen so many Charles Manson documentaries and adaptations. The tension in the movie is built by knowing what will eventually happen to these people, but if you are unaware of who these people are, you may get bored. I suspect a lot of the reviews that said it was horrible, had no plot, and was too long, were from people who did not understand the connection with the Manson gang. Even so, it was a bit repetitive, and much of the movie seemed to be about waxing nostalgic instead of advancing the story.",6
"Stonking! Now this is more like it, after the disappointments that have been Iron Man 2 and Thor 2, Captain America gets a sequel of substance and sparks. It manages to blend everything required to make a great superhero film, lashings of derring-do heroics, action bonanza, adventure, some sexy sizzle and of course the key, a story with brains and mystery elements.

True enough to say that the considerable contributions of Black Widow and Falcon (and Nick Fury of course) keeps this as a lively Avengers spin-off movie, which is no bad thing at all, but it's still the Captain who dominates things, marking himself out as a viable main man. In fact the whole film has the old school comic book feel, yes there's the grandiose pyrotechnics - unsurprisingly amped up for the big finale, but there's an adherence to serial thriller conventions that is, well, rather warm and comforting.

With the Captain getting some surprising amount of emotional depth and humanity courtesy of the perfectly cast Chris Evans, the viewers have much to care about. Themes of Bondian world domination and global security crisis keep things nice and fanciful, while the unheralded work by the effects guys is modern cinematic art. There's some adherence to genre formula, and a bit of Marvel universe copy-catting going on, but this is one of the best films from the Marvel stable. A rich sequel indeed - more Captain America please. 9/10",9
"He couldn't run, he tried running, the he kept running, its very similer in many ways to ""the curious case of Benjamin button"".",6
"Not Great, save your money and rent the cartoon. Jokes and one liners were changed and not as funny. Music was really quiet, and it felt like there may not have been much time in the booth for the actors to do the parts justice.",2
"Boxing movies are a dime a dozen. Some movies such as Somebody Up There Likes Me or Rocky have a heart and soul.

Others like Raging Bull have a central character that is heavily flawed but made up by bravado filmmaking and acting performance.

Southpaw is just creatively bankrupt. It is really a downbeat nihilist rehash of Rocky 3.

Jake Gyllenhaal muscles up as Billy Hope. An orphan turned light heavyweight boxing champion. He has money, cars and a luxury house.

His devoted wife Maureen (Rachel McAdams) wants him to turn his back on boxing now he is nearing the end of his career. Spend more time with her and his young daughter Leila.

Billy's manager Jordan Mains (50 Cent) wants him to take on a few more easy fights as a good payday.

Lurking menacingly is brash contender Miguel 'Magic' Escobar who is trying to entice Billy to a fight with some bad behaviour. Just as Clubber Lang did with Rocky.

In a public fracas with Escobar, Maureen ends up being shot dead with no one convicted. Billy's life descends in a haze of drugs, booze and violence. He loses custody of his daughter and his wealth.

The only solace is to start again at rock bottom. He wants to join up with trainer Tick Wills (Forest Whitaker) but he does not take on professionals. Tick also knows that Billy needs to learn new life lessons. His behaviour by engaging in a brawl with Escobar that led to Maureen's death when Billy should had simply walked away.

Simply put, Billy makes one stupid decision after another. Even at the court hearing dealing with his daughter's custody. He cannot stop swearing in front of the judge.

Like a mediocre boxer's jab. Southpaw is a blandly predictable movie with everything telegraphed in advance.",3
It doesn't matter you r animals lover or not but this movie make you mad to love n care for the animals especially dog I have watched this movie and i have cried a lot I am just mad about this movie when I had watched it's teaser and trailer 💕💕❤❤,10
"To be honest I was quite excited to see this show and I binge-watched it on a work day (not one of my brightest ideas for sure). The trailer sold quite exciting new take on the superheroes outside of marvel universe for once. However the delivery is poor. Cliche characters and obvious plot are two things that really bothered me. On a positive note it delivers good visual experience, CGI and action scenes, no doubt there. Overall, potential is there and I am looking forward to season two, but serious work is needed on the plot and some overly-dramatized characters. Good luck Netflix (although I hate you for cancelling Punisher).",3
"It was disrespectful. It can't be called neither adaptation nor a good show. The characters had nothing to do with the original ones from the book. The same with the plot. And it would be understandable if the show would be good to watch - it wasn't. The execution was lazy, all over the place, and just left with huge feeling of disappointment. I've been a fan of the Witcher since many years, I was very excited to see it on the big screen and I was prepared to some changes. But honestly, it was a heartbreak. I haven't seen in this abomination anything I would expect from my beloved series. 1. Ciri had nothing to do with bratty 12 year old girl, a child. They made her cold, awkward young lady. She should start being a teenager after leaving the Kaer Morhen and being with Yen. 2. Yennefer never lost her power, it's not even a thing. Also wtf with this fire magic, with not avatar the last Airbender. 3. Triss - they ripped off important elements of her personality and just gave it to Yennefer. Why? 4. Visimir, why the hell would he want to create new Witchers while endangering the child?? 5. Eskel. I have no words. From lovely person they made him some weird sexual predator. 6. Cahir, his whole storyline is absolutely no relevant and had absolutely no sens, the whole point of this character was waaaay different and unique. It was one of my favorite characters in books, and what they did to him . It was not it. 7. Elves were supposed to be beautiful race. Disgusting. 8. Why would they use those terrible eye contacts? I've seen better ones in tik-toks. 9. Why would they ignore the great among of already created Slavic monsters and just make only new ones? Ignoring the whole folklore?",1
"I watched half the episodes but then gave up up. The two lead characters were obviously not suited to one another and both had psychological problems that clashed with their intense on/off relationship. Long term it would never last. The sex scenes just became gratuitous because there were too many. If the leads and their friends are ""normal people"" then there is little hope for our future.",3
"I was expecting so much more from this movie. Good actors aren't always a sign of quality. The beginning of the movie is okay, but we soon notice that it is total nonsense.

Magic usually doesn't work in movies, and this one takes it to a new level. When you do magic with cgi-bubbles, you are doing something wrong. The idea in a magic show is to wonder ""I know this isn't what it seems, but I wonder how they do it"". When you see crap like that in movies, you know it is just a guy holding his hands out and a geek on a computer has made the bubble. Ther is no magic in that, just stupidness.

I think the director tried to get an ""Ocean's 11"" feeling to the movie. He failed. The music is that generic casino/Las Vegas swagger crap that is supposed to be just right for this movie. It is not, it is annoying.

This movie offers a surprise plot-twist. It's not enough to tell (smart) viewers that the most unlikely character is behind all this. They should explain even a little how that person made all that possible.

At one point in the movie we get the ""One year later"" routine. I wish this movie would have been about that year.",4
"WOW. Thats the only word i uttered during my KUNG FU PANDA 2 experience, Im confident that you will be the same. The visuals are unparallelled, the story is as touching as Toy Story 3 and the main character every bit as lovable as he was in his first outing. Jack Black returns to the role I'm sure will be what he will always be remembered for, Po the Panda. The all star voice cast is by the far the highlight, with everyone involved being given the chance to have a bit more fun with their respective characters. The story, to which i wont go into too much detail, follows Po on his journey for inner peace, and to take down evil Peacock, LORD SHEN. Comedy ensues, as does (quite surprisingly) a whole lot of heart and the best animated fight scenes to date. Loved everything about this movie. Highly recommended. 9/10",9

"I really enjoyed the concept of this movie and the script! I just wish it was executed slightly different. The way Enola was portrayed was fine, but if she was just slightly sassier and tough (more veronica mars Esque) I feel like it would've elevated the film a lot more. Enola Holmes is a great role model, but I feel as if she doesn't quite meet that bar where girls would want to be her. There are so many cool lines that would have been even spicier is she was played differently. Millie Bobby Brown doesn't sell the role for me, I genuinely feel like I was watching her say lines. The breaking of the fourth wall was a cool idea, but I feel like it was very much overdone in the film, if it was slightly more subtle and less often I feel like it would've had that immersive effect that was trying to be achieved. For me, the breaking of the fourth wall so excessive to the point where it took me out of the film. Although having a very well known cast is what pulled the initial audience in, I feel as though at least casting Enola as someone unknown would've sold the period piece. Obviously, my opinion doesn't matter in the slightest, but I was disappointed. I was really excited for this movie, but I didn't feel convinced the whole time. There was just something missing. A spark perhaps. Considering that, a lot of people have different opinions than mine, which means it must have an appeal that I'm missing.",2
"A complete treat for the fans of documentaries and more importantly for the fans of Narcos

Based on real story, movie revolves around former TWA pilot Barry seal played by Tom Cruise It depicts the uprising of a small time pilot to one of the main smuggler for the Medellin Cartel and also working for the CIA. The movie goes on how one pilot double crosses both the good guys and the bad guys for his own interest.

Special note: This movie would be relatable to the Narcos related fans and to the people who love the documentaries anyhow.",7

8/10: yes.",8
"Nadia (Natasha Lyonne) finds herself in a time loop of sorts with no understanding of what is causing the phenomenon or how to gain any control. She meets a guy named Alan (Charlie Barnett) who may be similarly inconvenienced.

This plot is what drives the series---or at least the first season, which I watched. And the mysterious plot kept me wanting more. There are similarities to ""Groundhog Day"", but this show is considerably darker, in humor and drama. Nadia is not the nicest person, but you want to see where her life is headed and how she might be changed by her ""affliction"".

Most of the action takes place at night in the city, so there is a gritty feeling to the narrative, accentuated by Nadia's lifestyle, which is unhealthy at best. Natasha Lyonne is very watchable, as is Chalie Barnett and the other cast members.",8

"Stephen Chow loves to mix amazing visuals, comedy, stunning action, high quality sound, and ""cheesyness"" into one movie. It's all jokes in this adventure that incorporates relatable scenes for international audiences all around.

"This movie clearly didn't want to take itself too seriously. Sadly, the end result is the greatest crime committed here is the 130+ minutes it stole from me and probably from others :-). Want to make a bad film? Keep it under 90 minutes.

In the first one, spending 130+ minutes with spoiled, cunning & narcissistic characters was bearable because of Harlan's nurse big heart. That movie worked and raised some good questions about success and old age, loyalty and family, about being dependent on others and such.

Here, watching Loggerhead Sea Turtles mate on a neighbouring island would have been a better watch. Ex Machine, albiet being a different type of movie, tackled the premesise of ""stuck in a secluded location"" and doing advanced science much better.

The only relief was Benoit Blanc civility and manners which was fun to watch against the backdrop of the general Hedonism of all the other characters.",6

"What did you expect from the sequel of limitlessly boring and grey film? Pretty much the same? You know, it is quite possible to keep level of ""boring emptiness"" for long long time. But what we have here is just downgrade of already bad movie. Huge downgrade. Misplaced idiotic fanservice, non-stop... Dialogues like they were written by kid from elementary, they are more than terrible. If i could put all the thoughts on a paper i still wouldn't be able to express properly how unnatural and far-fetched all of the drama here, it is just physically painful to watch. The final ""twist"" is just could not leave me more unemotional and sure that i'm 100% not gonna be watching this again. And the cherry or this cake is that the living rich comix is looking amazing, but at the same time you understand that all the money, work hours and other resources have been spent on a terrible film. And this is just... sad, i don't know... P. S. This film has common problem of low frame rate, especially at the beginning, you feel just like someone stole 'em.",2
"My expectations were high, after all the positive reactions, almost a hype that arose around the series. But unfortunately, this series absolutely could not ignite with me and it does not even come close to the hype. I tried to like it and almost struggled through the episodes. It was supposed to be fun, funny and engaging but unfortunately everything seems so forced.

To make it extraordinary creative ways are taken, the suspects are put on a stage, or there is an episode that takes place completely without speech, only background noise and sign language, with subtitles. But all this doesn't help make it more entertaining. Because the overall pace is so slow that it was just insanely boring.

The three characters, Charles, Oliver and Mabel, already seem to harmonize with each other, but honestly it seems like a last desperate gasp for relevance for Martin Short and Steve Martin. Sadly, it ends up being ridiculous and cheap. Selena's one dimensional acting, adds nothing to the series. She has a single facial expression and I could not detect any acting talent in her in this series. She delivers her lines so monotonously that she lacks any comedic timing.

The plot is nonsensical and swings awkwardly between boring drama and flat comedy, the action is slow and the dialogues are stilted. An arc of suspense isn't built up, as everything is talked over and over again, the focus is too much on the three characters with their backgrounds and the podcast project. The resolution at the end seems very far-fetched and not comprehensible.

The series commits one of the biggest writing mistakes possible, it explains too much, it even explains the comedy instead of being funny. It all comes together, jokes that could still make it into the 80's, poor casting, tired, terrible script that tries to fit a joke everywhere, even with the cliffhangers at the end of each episode it's still boring and dialogue that could be from a school play. In addition, music that goes in the direction of musical, with which I can not do so much.

The story progresses unbearably slowly, becoming uninteresting over time.

The last episode of the first season ends with a cliffhanger that you have to watch the second season if you want to know the resolution. I have only watched half of the second season so far and will not continue unless I have to. In addition, fans of the first season are disappointed by the second and third and the reviews are getting worse. Thus, it will probably not get better for me.

-------------- Conclusion: Annoying - Not funny, not exciting, it's not even particularly interesting, but was a disappointment.",2

HOW did she get a nomination for an Oscar? Her performance was wooden and nothing short of cringe worthy.,2
"Underneath the corporate irony and plate-spinning, there's a film that is mildly humorous; if not a tad lost with it's identity and message. A battle between feminism and stereotyping. Is this a film for young girls? I don't know, it feels as if it's wondered off the reservation. Is it a film for women - more than likely. There's heartfelt messaging at the curtain closing, but it very much straddles the fence between traditional conservative womanhood and progressive girl boss ""smash the patriarchy"".

Speaking of patriarchy, this film drops the p-word countless times. And the image of masculinity is confusing, is Ken masculine or campy and confused? Horse obsessed, gym bro, with a passion for theatrics and fur coats - traditional masculine, doubtful.

I don't know who this film was made for, or where it stands on anything. The safe corporate mediocre middle ground is where this film stakes it's claim for your attention and money.

Enjoy it by all means, if you can straighten out it's allegorical message, then please let me know.",5

"Attention: there might be spoilers here, but otherwise it is just not possible to discuss the film, IMHO. So do not read further if you have not seen it yet. Actually it is the first Nolan film I see, and I am open-mouthed at the HUGE hype preceding it. The film does not fulfill the expectations in most ways. The worst is the insufferable dialogue, which forces good actors into ineptness, Matt Damon being a particularly sad example. The whole screenplay needed about twenty (thousand) revisions more. There are characters that are completely superfluous, so much that one gets killed without any repercussions in the plot at all. And they do not seem to have a use for the character Romilly, either, except getting older. The idea of the NASA chief being a villain is preposterous; why send people on a mission you know they are going to fail? And his own daughter? Since it is all secret, which gallery would he be playing to? (and mind you, Caine is one of the very very few convincing characters, the other ones being Ellen Burstyin and the robots). There are huge scientific errors too, in spite of Kip Thorne. To slow time so much in the water planet, the gravity would have to crush the astronauts in essentially the first instant. A solution would have been to have the planet (or the ship) move nearer the speed of light, but apparently nobody thought of that. Points are about as subtle as a kick in the stomach, and I fail to see why anybody would think the science is ""dense"" and the film is ""complex"". Special effects are good. of course, but not as much as the hype says. And, sorry, if you get near a black hole, you would be thinned out like spaghetti by the enormous gravity. It is just impossible not only to survive, but to get out. The ""They"" is just a ""Deus ex machina"" to save the main plot from its own inepcy, and since this is all supposed to be so scientific, their appearance in the plot is completely arbitrary and illogical. And what, pray, would be these ""quantum data""? Since the quantic theory applies only in extremely small dimensions, why go look for it in space?. Somebody thought it sounded cute, I guess. There was no need to be realistic and scientific if we are getting out of the mire by miracle. The ending is maybe the best part, at times moving, but the notion that somebody who has been in hospital and will be let out only in ""a couple of days"" can rush to a rocket and take off, without space suit, raining, or assistance, as if it was a bicycle, seems ridiculous. My first and last Nolan film, I suspect.",4
"I know this comment is probably gonna get bashed down by the Batman fanboys who can't possibly imagine anyone giving this movie less than a 10, but I decided to post anyways to give my honest opinion of what I thought.

The Good:

-The Joker was amazing. I'm not just saying this because of Heath Ledger dying. I really believe his performance was easily on par with Jack Nicholson. He was one hell of a villain and the best part of this movie in my opinion.

-The plot was simple but good. It really pulled you in at some parts. Even though it was just Batman trying to stop the villain, it really evolved in terms of emotion as the movie went on in that you could feel each of the different character's struggles as the Joker made his assault on Gotham City.

The Alright:

-The action wasn't top-notch like everyone's making it out to be. Yea it was enjoyable, but compared to the standards put forward by other movies it isn't anything special. In some fights it almost feels slow and acted out, and there are other parts that were just way over the top like the truck being flipped and Batman driving up a wall.

The Bad:

-Christian Bale isn't the best Batman. Yea he's better than George Clooney and Val Kilmer, but there are some parts where his acting lacks. It's hard to take him seriously sometimes too, especially when he's dressed as Batman. That voice he does is really over-the-top.

-The movie is too long. This is what got to me the most. I found myself wondering when the movie was going to end. They really could have just taken that whole first scene with the Scarecrow out. I had a friend who hadn't seen the first one and that whole scene just seemed completely pointless to him. Then the subplot with the Asian guy was a complete waste of time. Even with the great plot the movie still drags.

Think what you will of this movie. It was really good and I'd recommend seeing it, but it's not top 10 material.",6
What can you say about 'Hannibal'...it has EVERYTHING. The photography/production is second-to-none. If you havent seen this yet...i am seriously jealous... although watching for the 2nd/3rd/fourth time is almost as good. Will continue RE-watching till the end-of-days. This is the type of TV series that Movies CANNOT compete with. Watch THIS NOW!...You're welcome in advance.,10

I have little problem with shallow teenage drama made for the sake of profit until it attempts to diminish any efforts being made to acknowledge the reality of depression, real suicide.

"Simply an amazing 10/10 miniseries, it was just almost perfect! Watched the episode in two sittings, it was just that great! Direction, acting, cinematrophagy were brilliant in my opinion! My few complaints are only the stuff that wasnt historically accurate, they probably had some reason to change it though and the miners, I didn't like the miners, otherwise it just gave me chills all the way through, it's great. Watch it",9
"I had no real expectations for this movie but never thought it would be that bad. The tone is sort of alright, but the pacing is terrible, not to mention it just didn't had to be that long. Acting is mediocre at best and the action scenes are unimaginative. Compared to the other two movies its just crap.

I believe when it comes to superhero movies in Hollywood they are just generally getting the whole picture wrong. And its especially tricky in the case of Batman since he is also a unique „animal"" among all the DC and Marvel superheroes since he doesn't have any kind of superpower.

You know there is a difference being Batman and a guy wearing a bat costume. There must be a reason why a character dresses like „idiot"". In the comics and cartoons Batman is intimidating and turns out to be an extremely clever guy, always planning ahead and bringing interesting moral questions into the equasion while Bruce Wayne is like any other generic person. Here Christian Bale is a guy wearing a bat costume and this time there is no Heath Ledger to save the movie. Don't get me wrong its not just the actor's fault, creating a perfect Batman requires the cooperation of the director, the writers etc...

Apart from that there are many problems with the movie bu I don't feel the need to list them on a wall of text.",3
"I loved it . After completing season 2 I feel empty and all I can di is wait. This is far better than what Jupiter's legacy is and to be honest it keeps getting better.

Literally all you have to go is patiently watch 1st episode and you will get clung to it.",9
"The word meandering sums up this movie very well. It just takes so long for the story to get anywhere. I'd say it takes about an hour into the movie for it to start moving. I kept reaching for my phone from time to time because I just couldn't focus. The humor is very hit or miss. There are some things inserted obviously for a younger audience. While some of the jokes did make me laugh, some also made me cringe or feel awkward.

I liked the animation style but then again I'm a fan of anime. So I didn't have a problem with it.

I couldn't like Miles very much. He was at least A LITTLE more likable in the PS4 video games. I don't understand why people are saying Peter was made out to be an idiot to prop up Miles in this movie. Miles acted like a weakling and a coward for a GOOD portion of the film. Despite the other universe Peter's circumstances, he at least was fighting. Besides, I think they made him that way to act like the fallen hero/mentor cliche.

The female characters were more interesting than the male characters. Why don't they get there own movies? Gwen's story sounds a lot more interesting than Miles. And how she obviously was a ballet dancer and uses that in her fighting. It's interesting. But, I guess people of color trump a white woman?

Overall, it's okay. But I don't see what all the fuss is about. Young kids will probably love this. But if you're always watching movies like me. You're not going to be impressed and just see all the flaws as you watch.",5
It's just one more disaster followed by another. Characters doing dumb things. That sums up the show.,5
"As a teenager I kinda just went to this movie because of all the hype and jokes on Instagram, TikTok etc. But surprisingly this movie was actually really good. Unsurprisingly Margot Robbie was phenomenal, and was the PERFECT choice for Barbie.

When the movie first started I really didn't know what it was going to be, I thought it would just be a girly movie about dolls and feminists, and everything wrong with Hollywood nowadays, but this quickly proved otherwise. It had the perfect amount of jokes, (which were surprisingly funny) the plot was simple but entertaining . Toward the end of the movie it got really serious, and it really had me thinking about life in a way where I just want to get my life together and be a better person. In conclusion this movie was great and Greta Gerwig did an amazing job with the cast and the movie as a whole!!!",9
"Some people consider ATLA to be a kids show but that is definitely not true. The show brings up important life topics such as: family, love, friendship, trust, emotional growth, abuse of power, righteousness, loyalty and many more. In addition the character development of every single character in the show is so well shown. You see each character's background which allows you to understand the reason behind their actions and opinions, at the same time however you also get to see all events that make them change outdated opinions or events that allow them to overcome their pain. Another thing has to do with bending. The way they represent bending and the separation of ""cultures"" is extremely important and relevant to today's society. You see how the ones with the most power abuse it to remain in control and to suffocate the less powerful. It is one great show and I very highly recommend it to people of all ages.",10
"The movie overall is certainly less of a cinematic masterpiece than its recent predecessors, but It seemed so full of 'statements' that I couldn't really pay attention. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hater of progress. I just can't help but wonder if Disney is now in the business of adding specific themes to every single movie that comes out of their office. It's just so in your face that it's hard to not notice.",4
"A DVD CHOICE, NOT A MOVIE THEATER CHOICE: First, allow me to say as an avid movie buff of 40 years, I have seen many flicks over the years, my tastes are varied, and I am the first to love something that will take you away from your world, into the world of a writer/director. That being said, it is of the utmost importance for me to be led, in a movie, to a point of intrigue, and visuals are of an equal importance as dialog when and where it comes to suspense. If not, the film is heavily reliant on a pretty, well known face, to keep your interest, while the flick drags on, with little relevant reason beyond verbal dribble to stay in your seat. There WERE a solid 5 or so minutes of effects, but the trailer leads you to believe there were much more. This flick allowed 90% verbal plot-building to create somewhat of a lack of suspense, a you-had-to-be-there, in my eyes, to drag a viewer into interest. Zero character building left it with a lack of relevance. I watched a surprising amount of people walk out of the theater, and more than I have ever seen leaving and coming back. They bought their ticket, but for some reason they weren't inclined to be pinned to the screen. I heard many utter the very same thing I was thinking, along with my date, while departing the theater... after 25 mins you are pretty much like what the heck is going on- I think we all followed along with the ""story"" as best we could, but the dead honest truth is that the first 10-20 mins are what creates an air of either interest, or turnoff... and INCEPTION left me with a lack of interest, either through writing and/or direction, that lasted throughout the 2.5 hours this movie dragged on. It was OK, but as my lady is saying beside me, you kept wishing through the first parts, for an ""ah!"" moment, then what came through more as confusing didn't ever seem to make up for that yearning, and judging from the reactions overheard when we were leaving, we were not alone in our assessment. Shortly, too many questions, not enough answers. WAIT FOR VIDEO, THEN PLAN ON REWINDING A FEW TIMES AND TAKING QUITE A FEW BREAKS TO PROCESS WHAT IS GOING THROUGH THE SEMI-BEWILDERED WRITER'S MIND.",2
"It was bland and soulless. It brought nothing to the table. At least with The Jungle Book (2016) it had some character to it and some charm. But this Lion King remake tries way to hard to literally recreate every scene and line in a way thats just painful and hard to watch. But, Donald Glover (Simba), Seth Rogen (Pumbaa) and Billy Eichner (Timon) save the show.",2
"Okay after reading all the negative reviews I really wanted to like this re-make and went in with full open mind but it definitely fell short BIGGGG time. I am a fan of Jon Favreau but sadly I think he got too caught up in the CGI of this and totally overlooked the voice-overs.

Besides Seth Rogan as Pumba, I think they butchered every character development. I actually came back home after watching it in theaters and re-watched the original and it's by faaaar waaay more superior. Every voice over actor nailed it, humor was top notch and it had the emotion which I did not get from the new one unfortunately.

Personally I feel if you were going to keep everything the same, then the voice acting should've surpass the original OR don't bother. Unless you want to make a complete new Lion King witch new characters and storyline leaving the original untouched.",3
"Great plot was never a distinctive feature of Marvel movies. But it seems in this movie, scriptwriter forgot to do his job. Absolutely lazy and boring movie.

Dr. Strange/Benedict Cumberbatch is playing just like always so no beef.

Wanda Maximoff/Elizabeth Olsen - well, meh. I don't like what this character turned into.

Wong/Benedict Wong - who the f* send actor to clown courses?

America Chavez/Xochitl Gomez - the most boring character of all marvel movies. No acting, no charisma. Director or producer turned this movie into preparation for her solo film.

Marvel phase 4 becoming more and more dissapointing.",2
"I had no idea the main characters from an original movie could be so ""out of character"". This was nowhere near the first two Thor movies - not in acting, screenplay, emotional depth, etc. The movie seemed more like a succession of bad jokes (between some good ones) than an actual story. It wanted to be funny all the time, even at the most inappropriate of times (which was sorely annoying), and gave away most chances of evoking deeper emotions. The two stars give credit to all the special effects - sadly I was disappointed by almost everything else.

Maybe it's just my disappointment that's making me see this movie in such a negative light, but Thor I & II set the bar pretty high for me. So I can't understand how it got such a good rating and so many 10 point reviews...",2
Don't believe the hype. This a a good movie don't get me wrong. It's well made and keeps you interested for most of it. But it completely unravels in the ending where it just seemed rushed to finish it. It reminded me of Game of Thrones where they didn't know how to wrap it up.,6
"Sure, the visual effects are eye-catching, the Robinson family + robot are lovey-dovey, Dr. Smith reminds you of the aunt you don't you want to be around with, and the villain robots flip-flop between good and bad robots -I think the time is right to wrap up the Lost in Space trilogy series on Netflix when the story-telling runs out of steam. I will miss sweet Will and his robot but hopefully we will see a reincarnation of the adorable pair in a spin-off series.",6
"In the noisy gaudy opening of ""Iron Man 2"" billionaire bad boy Tony Stark arrives at his Stark Expo in the Iron Man suit. Once removed from his body armor, Robert Downey Jr. as Tony admits, ""It's all about legacy."" Amidst the fun, high energy and stupid plot line, legacy does resonate as a poignant theme. I agree with A.O. Scott, that casting overcomes a lot in ""Iron Man 2""—I think I liked the movie more than he did. Robert Downey Jr. is awesome. And Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko provides what every hero story requires: a formidable villain. Director Jon Favreau is smart in never taking the movie too seriously, letting his actors morph and evolve. Favreau provides some spectacular action and visuals. The Monte Carlo Grand Prix where Vanko attacks Stark is stunning and heroic high drama.

Downey is amazing in carrying off such a wide-band character in Tony. His Tony even cops to being a text book narcissist. Downey is one of the gifted actors, whom we can discern what is going on in his mind—through his eyes. He brings a crisp intelligence, brashness, and sobering humanity here. We learn that the palladium core that keeps Tony alive is rapidly poisoning his blood and killing him. At the same time S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury (cool Samuel L. Jackson) wants Tony to uncover his father Howard's legacy, and solve the mysteries of his heart—on also a more profound level. Tony confesses his estranged relationship with his Father—""He never told me that he loved me."" But in his research Tony watches a message from his Dad. He says proudly, ""You are going to change the world… what has always been and always will be my greatest creation is you, Tony…"" From then on I was into the movie.

""Iron Man 2"" may not be a good as the first, although it has a huge upside. Scarlett Johansson is hot as S.H.I.E.L.D. ""triple agent"" Natasha Romanoff. She looks stunning in tight leather and performing Jeff Imada designed fight choreography. Beautiful and sprite Gwyneth Paltrow reprises her role of Tony's worried assistant Pepper Potts—who Tony appoints as new CEO of Stark Industries. Tony and Pepper are so in love with each other. Will they ever figure this out by the end of the movie? You have powerful actors Downey and Rourke squaring off. Rourke is menacing and dangerous—he plays it dead on. In a subdued interrogation scene Vanko tells Tony, ""If you make God bleed, people will cease to believe in him."" Vanko is out to avenge his own father—defending his own legacy. Sam Rockwell nails the pompous and annoying Justin Hammer, Tony's industrial competitor. Gary Shandling is dead pan genius as the Senator, who demands Tony turnover Iron Man. To which Tony reminds, ""I have successfully privatized world peace.""

""Iron Man 2"" is visually stunning with the spectacular battle with the Vanko built drones at the story arc. It is also a lot of fun as self destructive Tony in Iron Man suit dances to the late Adam Goldstein's mixes. ""Iron Man 2"" is an action packed, fun, and funny mixed bag. It's not all that coherent. It's engrossing mainly because of Robert Downey Jr. and Mickey Rourke, and its surprising story of legacy in spite of itself. And that works as well.",10
"Cruise, running, and running, legs churning, high knee action, arms pumping, taking what seems to be forever to get to whatever rooftop edge he MUST get to......one could take a bathroom break AND get a popcorn refill, then settle back into ones seat before he arrives at his jump off point...All the woman leads fit the same casting mold; long, tall (standing next to Cruise) with beautiful nose jobs. The two brunettes could be sisters along with blondy from mi6, judging by her eyebrows....an hour should easily have been edited out....but as predictable and over the top as this film is, it allows for smoke breaks, leg stretching chats in the lobby, whilst still being able to pick up the action without too much trouble upon returning to ones seat...",4
"Amazing cast, great writer, best director. This film can do no wrong. As a stand alone comedy it is more than worth seeing. I'm tired of all these critics bashing this film for too many subplots. This movie is funny, filled with action, and has much more heart than its predecessor. Iron Man 2 is most definitely Iron Man's superior. It ups the comedy and action while simultaneously introducing new ""Avengers"" characters. The film also delves deeply into Tony and Pepper's relationship with ScarJo adding some dynamic. Overall the film was amazing and is definitely the best film of 2010! Can't wait for the Avengers and Iron Man 3!!!",10
"As I watched Ready Player One I liked it a lot. The great fictive world Spielberg created with this movie is just fantastic. The idea with the virtual reality videogame is a hit. Action is great, good special effects and the story is solid too. However do not expect rhe deepest story with life lessons you will think about years later. It's entertaining but nothing more.

I can recommend you this movie if you are a gamer because this whole movie is about a virtual reality game or if you just want to be entertained for about 2 hours. Steven Spielberg stands for quality and Ready Player One underlines it again.",5
"I want to start this review by stating that I am not American, so the racial/cultural impact this movie was not something that I can really relate to and as such I am rating this movie for its own merits rather than what it represents.

Is it a bad movie? No. The acting is great, the costumes are gorgeous, the protagonists have depth, and the scenery is at times breathtaking. I don't think it deserves all these one-star reviews.

Is it a great movie? ...No. The plot is fairly predictable and formulaic, the use of 'vibranium' to solve every issue that arises feels a little cheap, and the main villain is fairly cliche.

Most importantly, for me this movie was missing the one element that Marvel movies have consistently delivered: it just wasn't fun. There's very little of the humour that we're used to seeing, there's no surprising plot twists, and the action scenes are at best so-so and at worst an onslaught of terrible CGI that would look out of date 10 years ago.

So all in all: watch it once if you're a Marvel fan or if you are interested in the cultural impact side of things. But if you're a casual movie-goer just looking to relax and enjoy yourself for a fun few hours, try Spider-Man: Homecoming or Thor: Ragnarok instead. This is one MCU movie I won't bother rewatching.",4
"""Captain America: Civil War"" follows a feud/rivalry between the Iron-man and Captain America which leads to some amazing story-telling and some phenomenal fight scenes

Before the greatest cross-over in Cinema history in Avengers: infinity and endgame we had ""Civil War"". This was simply a brilliant cross-over movie with a good story and amazing fight and action scenes. It had my attention from start to end. Even if I wanted to I have a hard time finding major flaws in this. (Also loved the surprise entrant when Tony and Rogers' teams fought, not saying anymore than that, have to watch for yourselves.)",9
"I started watching this series, cause it randomly showed up on my Prime video account. I was eager to watch a series, and honestly that's why I started watching it. The first few episodes looked like a complete bad rip off, and lost interest for a moment. But maaaannn, after some episodes later, the story does get really interesting. This is definitely a break from the regular DC and MARVEL fight. Maybe like a bit to realistic based story (except the superpowers obviously xD)

Totally love the concept of rogue/fake superheroes. Definitely deserves a watch!",9
"For a series the action is top of the line. The acting is very good, the character building is nearly perfect. This serie goed deep within the characters known as the falcon and the winter soldier. Seeing other known marvel actors and blinks to other captain america movies makes it fun to watch.

After WandaVision that started slow and kept going slow for way to long... this is action packed and it's awesome. Can't wait for the last episode.. it's gonna be a blast! Love this show!",9
"CA Civil War might be one of the best of the marvel movies for superhero on superhero violence, because most of the combat is exactly that. The named characters we have gotten to know over the years (I remember being in high school when Iron Man came out) showing up as costars of this very well done movie. Alot of diplomacy and government intrigue which is perhaps similar to the other captain america movies but just dosnt hit as hard for me, or at least not the first time I watched this movie. I didnt even remember Zemo ended up being the big bad guy until I watched it a second time lol, but I thought his actor did a very good job with the role and he was quite scary like his animated counterpart on the TV shows I used to watch growing up. With so many big name superheros in this movie going head to head you have to watch this movie if your a fan of marvel, it just fell short of 10 stars with me because it took me a couple watches to appreciate it.",9
"If you have lived under a rock and never saw Goodfellas, Casino, Raging Bull etc, then The Irishman will come as a revelation. As I have seen all those listed and others, I lasted 90 minutes. Nothing new, too self indulgent and My God, those leads are way too old CGI or not. Beautifully created,filmed and directed but to me a snorefest. Sorry, not the swansong some claim it to be.",2
"Okay, I like the genre in all its forms, but I am particularly pulled towards the more gritty spy films demonstrating what looks much more believable than James Bond films.

Red Sparrow isn't the best films I have seen of its type, and, to be honest, the ""twist"" actually confuses the average viewer since her actions seem incongruent with the expected plot line. What I mean is in ""Sixth Sense,"" even without the ""twist"" the story worked. In Red Sparrow, it doesn't work as well.

As I am finishing the book, I find much of the confusion is all of the films making, and not a failure in the book. Without giving anything away, the director chose to have Dominika's thoughts completely hidden. Without any confidant, or narration, Dominika's motivations are simply inscrutable. This would be okay, but some of her actions, without context, are just plain confusing. Sure, if you pay attention, when you leave the movie you can tie it (mostly) together, but still the twist isn't worth the confusion.

I would love to talk the team to understand why they changed some fundamental elements from the book for what appears (to me) just because. Some of it is, naturally, to save film time, but her choices of killing instead of destroying careers (in the beginning), just don't save time, or add anything to the story. In context of the book, it could be explained because of her character's childhood rages, but that aspect of Dominika are not even discussed. In the book one of the main concepts of Dominika is her ability to see colors for everything (which makes her an excellent at understanding people). In the movie, its just a one line throwaway.

No, all this said, is rather besides the point. As a ""real spy film,"" where people are people, and not just cardboard ideologies, this is a good entry. It is well paced, and enjoyable to watch. It isn't ""Kingsman,"" ""True Lies,"" or even an action film. It is a Spy thriller, and it fills that role fine.

I'm deducting one star just because the ""twist"" should have been part of the standard flow, and improved the movie continuity. The movie not narrating or giving her a confident to leave her motives opaque is needed for the ""twist,"" but it could have been handled better and delivered a more even movie.",7
"Trust me. I've watched more than four decades of diverse horror films. The genre is nothing new to me. This is a supernatural horror film about an embalmed hand that is further preserved by encasing it in a ceramic material.

Rumor has it that the hand belonged to a psychic and if you held on to the hand and uttered some key words it would make contact with you while you drifted into a trance. While in the trance like state, you would lose total control of your body.

This then is the horror element of the film. You try watching films like The Legend Of Hell House(1973), The Changeling(1980), Fear No Evil(1981), Poltergeist(1982) and you see how mediocre this genre has turned over the years...

Absolutely the worst casting I have ever seen. The film seems to me catered for a select audience and will not appeal to veteran horror buffs who grew up watching 70's, 80's and 90's horror classics.

Nothing to recommend here and also don't expect a gritty climax to a movie made on a shoe-string budget I hear.",1
"This movie is one of my favorite romantic movies ever Funny,drama and sad combine all them it becomes this movie I love it.",9
"I'm sorry but I must be living on another planet - I can't understand why this film won an oscar and why some are rating it a 10. I felt a little bored in parts and I felt uncomfortable. Reading some other reviews after the film, maybe there were some aspects I hadn't analysed and worked out intellectually. But then still I felt it was totally over hyped.",5

"What in the holy heck did I just watch...

This is not a movie. This is an exercise in how to make a really really bad sequel for the sole purpose of cashing in.

What's with all the re-make scenes. Why? What's with all the eye rolling bad lines. Why? What's with all the cheesy overacting close-ups. Why?

I have more 'why's' in the first 30 minutes than I have ever had in my entire 45 years of watching movies.

Sorry Tom. Love ya, but this one was really bad.",3
"The movie wasn't that bad but I feel people are way to caught up in the racial significance of the movie. The story line took too long to develop, the villain was lame and I mean seriously lame but the soundtrack was really good, didn't live up to the hype but it was still amazing. I must say the final scene where Kill-monger stats talking about slavery was in my eyes over dramatised and over looked today's problems. I also thought that the fight scenes were underwhelming considering that it's black panther. I was also really lost in when they started calling Kill-monger kill-monger as apposed to his characters name (which I can't remember), it didn't make sense to me and it was very forced, I feel they would have benefited more if there was no alias name.

Unfortunately when I left the cinema I had a sour taste in my mouth, not because it was a bad movie but because it didn't live up to the huge hype surrounding it's release.",4
"Khuda Kay Liye, New York, Kurbaan, and now MNIK, all with a common theme, how post 9/11 prejudices have affected lives, those of East Asians, the Hindus, the Muslims, the Sikhs, residing in USA. While KKL was an extremely well made look on the gloomy lives of Pakistani's caught in the turmoil, NY and Kurbaan turned out to be merely ""entertaining"" stuff. Now, what to expect from the king of family melodrama, Karan Johar. But, he surprised me .

MNIK reunites SRK and Kajol after a very long period. Kajol i remember last in Fanaa, a film with a mediocre script, but raised to awesome levels by Aamir and Kajol's gritty portrayals.. SRK last really touched a good string in CDI... RNBDJ was more of a parody, a very good one, with real heartwarming schlock thrown in..

MNIK deals with the post 9/11 issues with a ""special"" person and a very special woman thrown in between, who try to overcome odds, be it in a cinematic manner, to put through an important message ""KHAN doesn't equals terrorism"". Many wannabe reviewers have rated it badly, like those at PFC and even many here, but I couldn't get their point... Isn't cinema supposed to be fantastic? Isn't it supposed to be swashbuckling and epic in scope? And with all this, if it addresses some issues too, isn't that wonderful? Liberties are to be taken with a pinch of salt. I wish SRK, KjO, Kajol, and all associated with MNIK a hearty congrats for making a good movie, not just another ""coz i'm a hero, i'll be very successful in the end of film"" saccharine fluff like 3 idiots... Only fools call themselves Idiots, real people call themselves ""intelligent""... Hopefully SRK wont go back to Farah khan's parody land ...",10
"This isn't a bad movie because it isn't a movie at all. It's collection of scenes, most of them boring and overly long, stitched together, trying desperately to represent LA, and more particularly Hollywood, in the late 60s. I endured it for 2 hours and then left. I guess it eventually ends, buti by the time I left I really didn't care. And I was by no means the first to leave the show. Smarter people started leaving after about 30 minutes. I stayed. I thought ""Tarantino:"" - wrong! I thought - ""Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio"" - wrong! I thought ""Charlie Manson from a new angle"" - wrong! I thought ""Al Pacino, Michael Madsen, Bruce Dern"" - wrong! What a total waste of time and talent.",2
"Worst musical score I've ever heard. That intro has to go asap. The only reason it gets 3 stars instead of zero is because someone was smart enough to put Julia Fox in a lead role. She looks so familiar and I hope she gets more work. Sandler owes her for almost destroying her career in this pos. Story makes zero sense. About 9% of the movie is comprehensible. 91% is just nonsense. Far too little violence in the beginning so just another part that isn't even realistic. If this was based on a true story then someone at the adult level should have throw this script in the trash. And an executive should be fired. No, make that 2 exec's should be fired.",3
"I really wanted to like it. It started out very promising, with an exciting, creative premise and eye-catching, attractive, detailed visuals. The concept of the type of society they live in, and the story that was unfolding intrigued me a lot.

Then lame elements started adding up. 45 minutes in, I was forgiving of them, because I was still intrigued. But they kept piling up, until I was cringing more and more.

By ""lameness"", I mean it feels like a kid wrote it. I like kids' movies, but this actually feels like a kid wrote the screenplay...

Cliches... Missed opportunities for including any truly clever ideas... A naive and primitive understanding of the world that I wasn't buying, even for a sci-fi fantasy movie... Plot devices that seem ad-hoc, instead of crafted into a broader context, like the screenwriter was making up the whole story up as they were typing it out...

Half way through the movie, I was getting restless, and hoping for it to end soon. I only continued watching it because I was invested at this point. I was curious to find out what would happen, but I wasn't enjoying myself anymore.

1.5 / 5 - pretty bad",3
"What a load of long winded rubbish.

You can fit all the action scenes in to a half time Superbowl show and STILL have time left over to watch... the half time Superbowl show!

This bloated, wordy drama should have been edited down to a 'made for TV' movie... but that still wouldn't be enough editing to keep anyone awake.

I'm guessing the writers are teenage girls as this is the cheesiest bilge-water I've seen from a Marvel franchise.

Every camera angle is a close up head shot so there's NO sense of atmosphere or space.

I watched the whole 13 crapisodes (with the fast forward button as my friend) and I still don't know why the bad guys were so bad. It's never clear why they are bad or what bad things they do. But they are enemies of the Daredevil and his puerile, panty-wetting chums... so they are the bad guys.

Oh... you only get to see the Daredevil in his Daredevil costume at the very end of the very last episode... well... let's hope it's the last episode. A second series of this melodramatic tripe would make my eyes bleed.

There's way to much blubbering in every episode. What is it with Americans and crying on the telly. They just can't stop themselves, can they! There's also way too much talking and all the talking is in stupid riddles.

The limited action scenes are filmed in pitch black so you have to guess what's going on. The fight sequencers are tedious, long and difficult to make out.

If you thought that Brian fighting the chicken was long and tedious then you're in for a major shock... this is longer and more tedious with the added distraction of being impossible to see!

If you're a Daredevil fan, stick with the comics. This garbage will just bore you to death.",3
"I never read the books - to be honest it is not my kind of literature and I did not liked Twilight at all. So imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon this show and I was instantly hooked by the beautiful scenery and the magical chemistry of lead actors. Though the plot is pretty serious (you know... forbidden love, endangered creatures and mysterious manuscript quest) it has a lot of humor and through its sharp and sometimes witty lines I was able to enjoy very much what seems to be a modern and more aesthetic Indiana Jones kind of story. Each episode feels like a movie in itself, Matthew is magnetic in this role and Teresa's fragile yet powerful witch is promising quite an arch through the series. I'd love to see these characters moving through history while exploring their relationship in a believable way that separates the series from conventional violent vampire movies.

Later Edit: Now, after ending the first series and also reading the trilogy (yes, it got me reading the whole thing) I do hope that season 2 and 3 will have more episodes and let the story unfold in its own pace. I understand media and budget restriction but it is a superb narrative with superb cast to adapt it for TV, so it worth exploring it in all its splendor.",9
"Mehra started developing the project as a personal story rather than a sports film, taking the theme of ""zindagi se bhago nahin, zindagi ke saath bhago"" (""don't run away from life, run with life""), depicting his life from 13 to 28 years. Milkha Singh (20 November 1929 - 18 June 2021), also known as ""The Flying Sikh"", was an Indian track and field sprinter who was introduced to the sport while serving in the Indian Army. He is the only athlete to win gold at 400 metres at the Asian Games as well as the Commonwealth Games. Partition of India in 1947 caused chaos which resulted in mass religious violence in Punjab in British India, killing the parents of Milkha Singh (Farhan Akhtar).

"The series premiere feels exactly like a GRRM blog journal entry. There are certainly a lot of ideas, but nothing particularly clear or interesting unless you are 100% entrenched in and knowledgeable of his work.

There is a lot of debauchery, violence and gore; however, all of it was unnecessary and failed to drive the plot. If these aspects are what show runners think fans loved about GOT, they are woefully mistaken.

After reading HOTD, I can't say that I'd be willing to invest any time into WATCHING this series. There are many who love the storyline of HOTD. I'm not one of them.

I feel that the show runners know that the series premiere is distractedly terrible, which is why they gave the series sneak peek that they did. Perhaps, this show can turn around, but for now, I cannot say that I would recommend this show to anyone.",3
"I came into the movie with low expectations, holding a glimmer of hope that it would exceed them...it did not.

It is a typical Baz Luhrmann film that overplays, over-thinks and overstates meaningless plot and cringe worthy scenes. It was a movie that should not have gone for 142 minutes (I would have been happy if it was done and dusted in an hour). The only reason that kept me in the cinema was for the girl who I was seeing that night.

I can't stand Tobey Maguire as an actor, that view did not change. I also did not care for Leonardo DiCaprio's overuse of the term 'old sport', It made me hate the movie more and more as it went on, and the ending to the movie was the only highlight (so I could get the hell out of there).

I would not recommend this movie to anyone, and I dare say to go find something more useful to do than waste 2 hours of your life.",3
Unrealistic story.Just directing is good.So people who don't use their brain find it realistic because of direction.But I gave 1 star because this movie is fooling publics,1
"How this movie rates 8 stars and a metascore of 73, while Dark Phoenix only rates 6 stars and a metascore of 43 is beyond my comprehension.

90% of this movie consisted of fighting and killing, and if that's what you go to a movie to see, then this is definitely the one to see. But if you want to see a movie that at least has some semblance of a plot/story line, and characters you can get attached to, then don't bother.

Maybe if I'd seen the previous 2 movies, I might have appreciated this one more, but after going to this one, I won't be in any rush to see the other 2.",4
This was a good season with lots of history and story to be told but it was really rushed. Need to be more than 10 episodes where they can at least tell the story better and not feel rushed. The season finale was blah. There were good points in the season but all in all it wasn't as good as I'd hoped.,10
"Really good murder mystery film which tried its best to bring something different to the genre. Good cast and a good film all round, little hard to take David Craig seriously but you an get past it.",7
"The Lighthouse is thought-provoking, in like, whatever was the filmmaker thinking? Why the nearly square screen? Oh, so all shots are close-ups. Why black and white? Oh, gothic shadows, yes very impressive. The symbolism is equally subtle: lighthouse equals fire, except the Thomas Howard character is not very Promethean, but to be fair Thomas Wake is reasonably Poseidon-like. This film tries to be intellectual, but some things, like butter on bread, are better when you don't spread it on two-inches thick.",4
This show it's so special and beautiful ! I never saw anything like it i saw all the hannibal movies i read the book but this show is somthing different ! I watch this series like so many time i wish they make it another season.,10
"This is the first review I post at IMDb and the reason is because Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is that good. I haven't even finished the 4th season but still, starting this series has totally worth it. Now if you love Marvel as much as a lot of people do, is a must watch. First season is amazing and it helps a lot to understand some references of the main Marvel movies. In the second season you'll get to see more sci-fi stuff, because of the Inhumans. The third season starts with a portal to another planet, and still talks a lot about the Inhumans because they're being hunted down. The fourth season is just epic, nothing else to add. Now, the performance of the cast, for the 6 main characters, it's just brilliant. You'll fall in love even with the villain. That's it.",8
Interesting idea and excellent special effects. But I found the movie somewhat confusing and too long. It took me a while to figure out what was going on..then it dragged a bit...then finally caught my interest in the last 45 minutes. Good but not great. Wait for the video.,4
"To be perfectly honest, I was not sold after the first episode. The pacing felt way too fast, the characters felt explained rather than explored and it did not feel as grand as the GoT. Of course the first episode was far from bad but not as good as it could have been.

However by episode 3 the world has been introduced, new characters have been introduced and explored in a very good way. The world is slowly building itself, the acting is also improving and the house of the dragon is showing all the signs of becoming a great show.

I do hope that this show will continue to improve in the coming episodes because I am very excited to see where this show will take us viewers in the future.",8
"After watching the first 4 episodes I was hooked, but from series 5 onwards this show went downhill at a slow pace. It was very predictable and the characters became boring and static . I stuck with it to the end hoping that a spark would ignite it , but it was more unbelievable as it went on . I was hoping that the series was going to have an ending as I couldn't see how this series could be dragged out for another one.

On the positive side there were some parts that resonated with humanity and the need to destroy evil in the world by being more evil, the big let down was that it all ended in a draw.",6
"Michael Cera and Jonah Hill are High School geeks who want to get laid before they go to college but the problem is they are nerds.

However they find themselves invited to a party given by supercool Emma Stone as long as they bring the booze and thus they attempt to awkwardly buy alcohol whilst underage with the aid of supernerd Christopher Mintz-Plasse and his fake id of McLovin.

It is another bad taste comedy in the vein of American Pie or Road Trip, sporadically amusing and silly especially when Seth Rogen and Bill Hader turn up as two uber weird cops.

The film rather meanders along with the boys misadventures in their final days of high school knowing that they will go their separate ways at college.

There is genuine sweetness with the vulgar comedy but it is also too sporadic and I was never convinced that these teenagers will get the attention of any of the ladies.",5
"I must say, I was sold after the first episode. With an amazing intro, very strong realistic feeling and some very nice shots, the first season of Marvel's Daredevil looked like a strong contender for best new series, in my mind at least. It is thrilling more often than not, has a very serious tone and all the people blend in nicely with the story. And the charismatic crazy enemy, wow!

Now that the second season is out, we have to see if it still lives up to the hype, and for me, it still has to show, but it definitely can. I had kinda the same feeling after watching True Detective: I did not find the 2nd season explicitly bad, but after such a strong first one, there are big steps to follow. Huge steps indeed.

So why the 9 star rating? Because the first season was amazing, and I am sure there is a huge potential still inside. I guess the second season had to be worse, but still worth a shot!",9
"Oh yeah, this one is still as good as I remember. Now that I've seen this again I'll give Thor part three a rewatch and I should be good to go for Black Panther. I am soooooo behind on my must watch list. So behind in fact that I deleted my must watch list and unsubscribed from ScreenJunkies. So yeah, from here on out as far as 2018 films are considered I'll just be headhunting for large pop culture fuzz. So I guess that leaves Marvel films and a few others? Oh, I hate what they are doing with the new Star Wars universe but the Solo movie looks good. But that Game of Thrones chick is in it so needless to say I will be skipping it on principle alone. That reminds me, Civil War is awesome. 9 out of 10.",9
"Being Spider-Man is wrecking poor Peter Parker's life. He's had to give up his chance at love with Mary Jane, he can't hold a job because he's always late, his grades are suffering at college, his Aunt May is struggling with the loss of beloved Uncle Ben, and his best friend Harry blames Spider-Man for the death of his father. All of this leads to Peter deciding to give up being a superhero. But a new threat rises in the form of mad physicist Otto Octavius, dubbed Dr. Octopus by the press, that may force Peter out of retirement.

Sam Raimi's direction is much improved from the first film. This one he seems completely at home with the big budget blockbuster and creates many memorable scenes and images, as he often does in his lower budget work. Comic fans should appreciate the homages to the works of Lee, Ditko, and Romita, The CGI improves from the first film. There's still a little bit of the rubbery animated look of the CGI humans but not as distracting as before. The action is also more impressive. The fight scenes between Spider-Man and Dr. Octopus are well-done. The scene where Spidey saves an elevated train is arguably the movie's highlight. Danny Elfman's music is good but, as with the first film, not in the same league as his iconic Batman work.

The cast knocks it out of the park. Tobey Maguire perfectly captures the essence of Peter Parker, even more so than the first movie. His inherent nerdiness, awkwardness, and struggle to do what's right even at the cost of his own happiness. Kirsten Dunst and James Franco build upon their performances from the last movie. Dunst rises above the damsel-in-distress role she's saddled with quite nicely and by the end finally feels like the iconic Mary Jane (""Go get 'em, Tiger.""). Rosemary Harris gets far more to do as Aunt May this time around and she's amazing. She steals every scene she's in. The supporting cast (J.K. Simmons and the rest) are all great. Alfred Molina brings Dr. Octopus to life and treats the character seriously, which is miles above the hammy performance given by Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin in the first film.

When this came out, it was the best superhero movie since Superman '78. I walked out of the theater beaming from ear to ear and feeling like a kid again. It was one of the rare summer blockbusters I went to see more than once. It still holds up and is a high water-mark for Marvel movies, in my opinion. It's followed by a terrible third film and then a reboot series that, while good, misses a lot of what makes this film work so well. This is the definitive Spider-Man movie. Lots of humor, heart, romance, and action all told in a bright, colorful fashion. Everything a Spider-Man film should be.",9
"Unfortunately, Nicole Kidman can no longer express emotions with her face. I can't understand why such a great actress would voluntarily turn her face into concrete. I also don't think it's right that she plays a character almost 10 years younger than her real age. In short, Nicole Kidman's dull face completely ruins the show. Nicole is strangely distracting whenever she appears on screen, and you miss everything because you're so focused on the facial muscles she's trying to move desperately.

I think it's time for Nicole to get out of front of the camera and just do production, maybe directing and something like that. Cuz in front of the camera she is unbearable.",5
"Pretty good, I don't think it's as good as the first one but it is close. The story is fine and there are a lot of funny moments and pretty solid action scenes. Great movie to see if you liked the first one.",7
"To give you a comparison, last night, after hearing great things about it, I started watching the movie ""How to Blow Up a Pipeline""; what a lame piece of crap that was. I saw it as a first-year film school project. I pushed eject just after they set off the explosions. Who cares what happened. I gave that a 3 star as well.

What's the deserved rating for any film that one can't abide until the closing credits?

I had likewise heard great things about this series and found it at the library yesterday. Oh good!

Well, that didn't last long.

I pulled the plug in episode 4 when the travelers, trying to get across the country while avoiding the ""infected"" decide that going through Kansas City (rather than, duh. Going around it???) would be a great way to avoid trouble. Idiotic writing.

This after the attempt to get across Boston in episode 2 and running into Zombies who had somehow escaped from the film ""World War Z"". I swear they hired the same zombie consultants and Foley artists -- Zombies'R'Us? -- as that film. Same zombie behaviour. Same zombie sounds. Same zombie behaviour.

They should have enlisted the choreographer from some Michael Jackson videos.

If you're aware of the stage play ""Rosencrantz and Guildenstern"", this film and WWZ could fit the same premise; the two stories could have easily been occurring simultaneously. Oddly, both even featured Boston. Why didn't this one feature, say, Atlanta? Or Memphis? (They could have resurrected Elvis)

In fact, I can't recall the several films and small-screen series that I thought this series drew from; there wasn't an original bone in its body.

On the other hand, episode 3 I did appreciate because it featured new, transitory characters. It wasn't fabulous writing but the break from the main story was enriching.

Fungi deserve better!",3
Best series ever. Great acting and storyline. Hoping for a new season very soon.,9
"Do not be fooled by it's presumption, this is no great mystery.",1
Surprisingly uninteresting film. Toddles along being kind of weird. Shocking at times but not very suspenseful or engaging. Just nod along as the things sort of happen. Not straightforward enough to be used as background noise and not focused enough to sit down and watch.,3
"Very mild spoilers ahead .... Let me preface this review by saying that some Tarantino movies belong on my all time list (pulp Fiction, inglorious basterds, kill bill) and some just weren't my cup of tea (death proof, django unchained).

This movie mostly follows a soon to be a has been actor during a day of his life with his stuntman in an era where the people stopped going to the theaters and started watching TV instead. A shift occurred back then just like today with streaming services.

Tarantino reminisces through DiCaprio's character his issues of how the industry is changing and how he himself is now almost at the end of his journey.

So, the allegory of the movie seems clear. The dialogue is great. Camera work and direction are superb - especially when Brad Pitt visits the desert. The acting is top notch.

However, even though there is a plot to follow with a substantial climax, the movie itself didn't get anywhere for me. The grand finale was, though very entertaining, for me at least, quite meaningless considering the story of the two main characters. Instead it feels more like a movie intended for Quentin himself. Everything he did in this movie hes done already in a movie before (actors, locations, camera angles).

This movie is a nice loveletter to Hollywood and is supposed to sum up Tarantino's career. However, it just ended nowhere and therefore is, I guess, only intended for the people in and around Hollywood.",6
"Jerry needs money. His father-in-law has plenty. So Jerry gets an idea to have someone kidnap his wife so her Dad will give up the money. Jerry pays off the kidnappers a certain percentage,, keeps the rest. All happy. Well,, the plan doesn't quite go off without a hitch,, or two,,, a lot of hitches,,,

It only took 25 yrs for me to finally sit down and watch this from beginning to end (I'd seen parts of it here and there). While I definitely see a lot of good, even great things in this movie,, I don't see anything groundbreaking. The performances were very good. Loved the accents and sayings. It's very entertaining. However,, I just don't see the extremely big deal. Like I said, the performances and interactions between the cast were great,, really good,, but once again,, I don't see unbelievable. Best I can give it is a 7. Which I guess is really good,,,",7
"I Found Thor easily one of the poorer Marvel Films out of the many that has been created. I think the only ones that are worse are Fantastic 4 and Ghost Rider. Simply because the story is so basic, and you have seen it million times before. The Villain Loki just has no personality and is a very weak character, i think the most interesting thing is in the short clip after the credits.

I felt that the start of Thor started well, and the action sequence was good, but from then on, its just abit of a drain. although their are funny references throughout which so make you laugh, but you cant help but notice the poor costumes and CGI when they are on earth.

See for yourself because some people obviously like it, as its got a 7 on here, but personally i would say X-Men and Iron Man are far better. if Story and shoddy Costumes don't bother you, then you may be able to enjoy this film.",4
"Christopher Nolan is quite skilled at increasing tension. Bane is quite a formidable presence in this film and he adds gravity to the action scenes. However, this is not complemented by the story. Bane's movement seems superficial and the police act like idiots, so I was a bit alienated by the overall narrative.",6
"I don't like horror but it's pretty soft in comparison to the fantastic story, sentiment and leaving you wanting more. You feel you are on this journey with them. It's so good at capturing the 80s but not only that but what it's like to be that you g age, figuring out love, friendships and relationships with parents and siblings. I can't wait to see the next instalment, I don't want it to end.",9
"I think they bought all this good reviews. Good special effects, but BAD acting, and a LOT of cringe moments... Could have been better.",3
"What can you say?

This film is so full of clichés that I fell asleep.

I would like to say more but I have nothing good to say about this.

Boxer is world champion blah blah, loses it all blah blah - Gets a chance of redemption at the end blah blah.

I think if you want to watch a decent boxing movie then watch Rocky

If you have nothing to do then sure watch the movie but thats all I can say.

I have no idea why I have to put a minimum of 10 lines as this movie is so cliché I cant say much more.",4
"Christian Bale is a great actor. And there arent very many of them. Opposite today's Rober DeNiro you can see how DeNiro has lost his way and no longer caresa bout his roles. He walks thru them to collect a paycheck.

But not Bale. He becomes the character. It's an amazing transformation. He's the one to watch in this movie.

The film itself unfortunately doesnt rise to the occasion. It's reminisent of a Coen Brothers movie when they were good, but not as clever.

The acting is very good and the movie looks good. Sometimes however, it's overly political and that brings it down a notch.

It also runs wll over 2 hours which today, for non-super hero mves can be a death knell.

There are many segments taht just drone on and could bave been cut back to make the action movie more quickly. Some don't even help the storyline.",6
"A beautiful looking movie, with great effects and cinematography. But it lacks everything else. The main character is hardly likeable, and the story is very linear. It had a lot of action, but the breathing rooms were awkwardly placed. The dialogue is very plain - except part of it being non-English. Decent acting, but any efforts for emotion were discarded as the characters themselves were plain. The cinematography was great, with long and well thought-through shots, but it had its fair share of constant cutting and shaking camera too.",6
"Am emotional roller coaster ride.. @RakshitShetty take a bow and the directory did exceptionally well! The dog @Charlie acted better than human beings. Special mention to music, where you get to listens different genere of songs with respect to each region. One more hit added from Kannada industry.",10
Disappointed. First 3 episodes were interesting. The rest painfully dragged on with virtually nothing happening or new being found out over hours of tv. HBO normally great but don't waste your time with this,1
"Good story, very well written screenplay but movie is disaster on two accounts.

01. Casting is horrible, except for the two kids everyone else is misfit. Including Scarlet, i adore her but its not role for her.

02. Poor Direction, just rushing through the screenplay, nothing else.

An opportunity missed... By the half way it become too hard to bear...",5
"I saw this movie in the theater with my hard of hearing wife. At the time movie theaters did not have Closed Caption devices like they do now. So I would drag her to pretty much ever subtitled movie that came to town. I knew nothing about what we were walking into. We walked into greatness. Unfortunately, none of the other Stephen Chow films that I've seen have done it for me. To me he's a one hit wonder but what a hit. Maybe Top 10 of All Time.",10
"Boring, some good moments. But boring. Story goes nowhere. Wish side plots were stronger.",7
"""Avatar: The Last Airbender"" is a timeless masterpiece that effortlessly blends action, humor, and profound storytelling. With a richly developed world, compelling characters, and themes that resonate with all ages, it's a must-watch for anyone seeking an epic adventure and valuable life lessons. Its intricate world-building, well-defined characters, and intricate exploration of moral and ethical dilemmas make it a show that transcends age barriers. Whether you're a child or an adult, you'll find both entertainment and enlightenment in this beautifully crafted tale of balance, friendship, and the power within.",9
"If you love this genre like me and fan of reading Sherlock Holmes series, right away you will know who did it. At the beginning it felt like Adam Sandler just took Netflix's money on the ride, but half way through movie started picking up the momentum and I started enjoying it. Light hearted movie and I am partial towards Adam Sandler projects and especially this pairing (apart from Adam and Drew), can't go wrong with it. But not as fun as their earlier work together.",5
"They just overdone it with the digital botox, especially on deniro in the first half of the film. I felt like I was watching some sort of jurrassic park. deniro and pacino only start to act and stop looking like some computer game avatars in the second half. pesci us just a shadow of himself.

the script is rather bland, boring story watching grumpy old men. the characters dont open up to the audience, theres is always too much distance. boring dialogues without tension. women actually dont play any role.

scorsese should have cut the first half and shorten the movie to 100 minutes, ir produce a mini series.",2
"A few twists along the way, a bit gory at times but generally a really good film.",8
"This docu-series is so worth the watch. It's proof that government will do and will say anything to prevent its own ""embarrassments"" and mistakes. I knew that many lost their lives due to Chernobyl but I had no idea the government were acknowledging only a tiny few as ""actual"" deaths caused by this explosion. Chernobyl could've been prevented.",9
No idea how this has such high ratings. Never felt Oscar worthy at any moment. Was the acting good? Yes. Was the story? No. It just felt forced. Almost as if they were trying to replicate Fargo but in Missouri. I was never hooked but seemed to be waiting for the 'oh that's why it's good' moment.,5
"This movie is among the best in it's kind regarding pointing out the dysfunction of culture and religion which any nation could fall prey of.

The movie point out in very constructive way how ancient culture or religion could deprive a nation from progress and manifest how could be improved.

Media, especially movie an well know actors and actresses could play pretty important roll to open the eyes of one nation, giving them wake up call by pointing out what believes and practices are fundamentally wrong and how harmful they could be for the nation and country in large.

As a non-Indian I enjoy the movie a lot, and I am sure Indians could make a deep connection with the movie and take lots of precious tips form this movie.",9
"This series transform Bollywood. The casting, directing, and writing are superb. Never believed that a tiny, skinny and short person can be godfather, ruthless gangster boss. But Nawazuddin did it. His acting is brilliant. I think he is Indian's Robert De Niro. And I think this series will mark the new era of Indian cinema.",8
"Forgetting Sarah Marshall comes from breakthrough producer Judd Apatow. Directed by Nicholas Stoller and written by and starring Jason Segel, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is the latest offering from Team Apatow after the success of 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up and Superbad.

The film, very delicately and realistically deals with the period of post break-up. It also sheds light on celebrity/part-celebrity relationships. Containing a huge amount of situational as well as slapstick humor added with a hilarious performance from Jason Segel, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is another success story in the book of Apatow. The fact that men are as emotionally involved in a relationship as women are is clearly shown in this film. It is more reality than fiction. The fame aspect added in by the character of Kristen Bell brings in the slapstick humor. The characters are all perfect in their roles. Russel Brand and Jonah Hill are two very important pieces of this jigsaw puzzle. Mila Kunis is plain cute.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall is just a good time at the movies. No real complications here, just a simple story of a highly complex situation, well told. It's wonderful how Team Apatow just come up with these films. It's getting impossible to think of comedy without them now..

8/10! Love the Rock Opera on Dracula..",8
"If you want answers like who/what or even why or how... do yourself a favor - don't watch it. Even if you didn't like the movie Blindness (2008) don't go for it. If you are OK with all that, than maybe you'd like it.

In my case I felt entertained despite some disturbing elements: 1. The blind car driving scene that is almost ridiculous 2. ""Slight"" similarity with Dawn of the Dead (1978) 3. Really bad performance by Danielle Macdonald. 4. All the women actresses had a perfect make-up. Come on... the world is at end and they have enough time for their mascara...",7
I think the movie is overrated. Attention was paid to some details but it had a very simple theme in general. Can be watched because of action scenes.,7
"Really this movie is very interesting, this movie was directed and made just to enjoy great action scenes and funny situations between Eddie and Venom.

I won't talk about the flaws in this movie because it's a lot like the villain, but I can say that Tom Hardy's acting and his harmony with Venom was the most beautiful thing in this movie.

Very interesting, excellent production, good music, and I recommend watching, but without raising expectations too much.

This movie deserves 7/10.",7
"Film is an unfortunate result of concepts lifted from ""The Shadow"" and ""Star Wars"". Fight scenes drag on. Liam Neeson reprises what is sadly becoming his signature role- i.e that of the damaged teacher to a young student.(Reference ""Star Wars"", ""Kingdom of Heaven"".) Despite strong supporting cast this ""Batman"" does not take wing. Special effects are interesting. Particularly notable are the designs for Batman's body armor, the batmobile, and the ""memory fabric"" forming the bat gliding wings. The soundtrack lacks the stirring personal themes of past Batman films. Story contains strong concepts regarding what can be defined as ""true justice"" as opposed to mere ""revenge"". As always, box-office profits will determine the possibility of a sequel.",5
"A super-advanced African society that for some reason has buildings topped with structurally unsound reeds placed atop them.

This hip-hop driven superhero flick is driven based on its style alone, as its special effects crumple to the ground quicker than the bad guys he's designed to dispatch. Along with the annoying script we're treated to a menagerie of politically relevant slogans and catchphrases.",3
"Boring and sleepy plot....plot just spinning around on the characters ,conflicts not interesting enough to be risen, i feel want to go out half show",1
"What this mostly is is watching Pimp Daddy Matt Damon eat. Scene after scene is him taking in his nourishment. There's not much to it. At least through the first half, which is all I watched from getting bored, when does he not have food in his mouth? Through all that, I shrugged and said, ""Ok...Does something ever HAPPEN in this movie?""",5
"777 Charlie is a very simple yet powerful movie with a deep meaning.

This movie is all about two characters; Dharma & Charlie(the dog). Dharma, played by Rakshit Shetty is a lonely man who has nothing, absolute nothing. His parents & sister die in a car accident on a rainy day in his childhood. After this incident he becomes very much lonely. He is a welder in a factory. Everyone there maintains a distance from him in his worklace and society. His daily life is very disorganized. In the starting minutes director has shown his lifestyle with very minute details.

Oneday a labrador puppy comes to his house somehow. But he doesn't like the puppy. So, he doesn't allow the puppy to stay here. But incidentally he keeps the puppy in his house. Charlie brings a change in Dharma's life and mentality. These parts has been shown with great care.

Dharma gradully comes to know that charlie is suffering from cancer and has very limited time. So Dharma decides to fulfil charlie's wish to show her snow. How Dharma fulfills his decision that is the main plot in 2nd half.

This film has everything whatever a viewer wants. This film has fun, comedy, emotiion, affection.

Rakshit Shetty is awesome in the character of Dharma. He plays his character very realistically.

Watching charlie is also a gift from the makers. Somehow they have managed to gift the viewers something exceptional.

Sangita Sringeri as Devika ialsodelivers strong performance. She is damn beautiful.

The little girl, Sharvari as Adrika is also an important character of the film.

Good videography is seen in the film. Screenplay is also very powerful to convey the message through the film.

Thank you team '777 Charlie'",9
"Did not quite do it for me. Felt like the show was built around creating suspense without quite delivering.

Feel like they copped out of a lot of decisions that could have really made this show a lot better, diverse, complex & unique. (Mutants, multiverse) Full villainous Wanda.

I feel like the constant suspense did not come close to Watchmen HBO series did.

Also without spoiling I thought the finale lacked originality, and reused a lot of tropes we've seen before. aka Incredibles and man of steel and the Watchmen HBO series.

I prefer seeing the darker, better written Marvel productions and I was really hoping this show was going to carry on the dark path is set on initially then for the show to end as a light Pixar/film, the ending felt very Antman 2 esk which was a film I wasn't fond off in comparison to the others.

Again, I was probably hoping for more considering the MCU drought. 6.5/10",6
"OK, I REALLY don't get it. I always thought: ""Oh well, the Godfather, masterpiece, everyone has to watch it at least once in their live, let's see it then (someday)"". Then today I finally decided myself to watch it and I was shocked about it.

To make it short, it was boring, WAY to long for the amount of real action (and I don't mean Micheal bay action, I mean something like a traceable storyline that doesn't introduce new names and character every time something really happens (and thats not often the case) so that in the end, you don't even know who's who and what is really happening. I don't like a film where you don't know who is doing the action you see, especially if some of the main characters are so similar that you can't distinguish them in some scenes. Also, the film is too long. Take the first set for example, the wedding (or was it a wedding?). If you count all the minutes you see some macaroni's dancing without sense or entertaining the viewer, I think it's around 5 to 10mins. If you look at that you know why the movie is around 3 hours long. Coming to the characters, I didn't have any emotional relationship to them after 3 hours of nearly non-stop conversation. I didn't really care when they died, first because in most cases, I didn't know who was killed in the scene most times and second, because I had no emotions for them. (Let's take that scene near the end, where all the people get killed, like 5 or 6 in three different locations. I didn't even recognize one of them, the whole scene didn't make sense for me. Why would they shoot a women with their child in the bed, especially if the viewer doesn't know who (the f**k) she is??? Not really a pro for a so-called ""masterpiece"") The only two pros I have are the acting and the music. I have to say I'm not a pro in commenting acting in films (watched Catwoman and didn't have a clue why Halle Berry became the golden raspberry for their acting after learning all that stuff with the walking like a cat, martial arts etc.). But I have to say what I've seen in this film is the most natural acting possible. None of the scenes looks contrived, the ""we are all family"" part came very good. Also the soundtrack is really worth recognizing.

To sum it up:

Acting: 10/10 Storyline: 4/10 (really disappointing) Action: 3/10 (even more disappointing) Lenght: 2/10 Soundtrack: 8/10

Overall: Around 4-5/10, I'll give it 4 because it's overrated.

PS: I watched ""The Rock"" the same day and found it much better than ""The Godfather"" (Better action, no lenghts, even better soundtrack, a very simple but at least traceable story)",4
"Very confusing plot, story progressed way too fast",5
"Enola Holmes - Detective Movie Cast - Millie Bobby Brown, Louis Partridge, Henry Cavill

I started this movie with so much hype but I was somewhat disappointed. I thought this is a sequel or prequel of the ""Sherlock"" series. But it has a different story plot and the story was changed a lot. It seemed like a new storyline of sherlock for me. I only liked the acting of the main protagonist. But Henry Cavill was disappointing as Sherlock Holmes. The story was not that much interesting and plot twists were so rare. Enola who was brought up by only her mother was alone after suddenly her mother vanished. She went on a journey of finding her mother and found out her mother is a rebel and on a secret mission. In Enola's journey, she fell in love with a boy from a renowned family for no reason. Her main mission became to save that boy. Action scenes of this movie were boring and no thrill at all. A hopeless movie for me. I guess this movie is for children. Though only positive thing about this movie is the cinematography.

Personal Rating - 4/10",4
"The storyline is great! They have all these twists and turns that will keep you on your toes about what might happen. It just gets you so in to it. Then the character development is also nicely done. Due to the more natural time span of the show, you can really see these characters open up and flourish after certain events. And there's the Comedy. Its not overdone! Its so well placed, and not very stressed, that you just cant help but feel thankful for it. Its not like those shows where something funny comes up every few seconds and you soon get tired of it. A:TLA isn't like that at all.

the cartoon was great season 1,2,3 awesome,,,,,im watching going to watching legend korra hope it will be a good show like avatar the last airbender

great show",10
Terrific Terrifying and fantastic from start to finish.,10
"I can't imagine that this series got 8 out of 10. I managed to complete 6 episodes wishing it will get better, but this never happened.",3
"Some episodes of these series are amongst the most brilliant television ever.

As each episode stands completely on their own you don't have to watchb them in order.

Most of the you can qualify under horror or science fiction, both not my cup of tea normally. But these movies ('cause that is what they are, middle-short movies) bring the genres to a new level.

Mostly. Of course they are not all of the same genius quality but they keep a certain standard.

When I just hear about them I binged the 4 seasons then available in some days. Don't. It's too alienating. People with unstable minds can get psychotic reactions.

What makes them so great, and now I'm talking about the science fiction aspect, is that about aliens or stupid space chases. It's about now. They use the technologie now available but sometimes (luckilily) not yet integrated in our lives.

Sometimes it's about more future technology, or fantasy events but it's most of the times on a subtle way, not big special effects and brainless action. It always has a creepy, crazy, psychological twist.

I can go on praising these series but I would say; watch!!!

Absolutely recommended.

Thet just aired the 6th season, I saw 3 from the 6 episodes and wow!!!",9
It's one of those shows that you can't stop watching bc your mind is going to be wrecked and intrigued with every episode. The casting is amazing no matter what side of the pond you are on.,9
"Briefly, cheap acting skills, weak plot, really disappointing.",3
I've watched this show so many times and it's amazing by far my favorite show of all time. Phil is just a hero and skye/daisy is amazing! Much love for this show.,10
"I read professional reviews citing an absence of sparks between Pepper Potts and Tony Stark, lack of story, and lack of meat in spite of its being a ""...slick production..."" So I was tempted to enter the theater with dampened expectations, but just couldn't muster the disappointment necessary. In spite of that, I was not disappointed. This film was not only serviceable as a sequel, but is a fine sequel with a great story, an awesome villain, and an aptly saucy Pepper Potts.

Development of Stark's textbook narcissism cycles nicely, giving the on-screen version of this flawed comic book hero the adequate feeling of supposed superiority needed to further appropriate character development in this direction.

So don't listen. This is a fun film, which we all enjoyed, and cannot wait to own. Hope you enjoy it, too.

It rates an 8.3/10 from...

the Fiend :.",8
"Movie started off nice... Interesting scene ... Intro of new lat chick, okay. Than it's just a mess with plot hole after plot hole. Even in the MCU there needs to be a plot, purpose and if nothing else at least a story.

Here, it's just a woman who wants kids and despite being the most powerful force in the universe wants the babies of someone else.... I mean who wrote this crap ..

The multiverse part is just for laughs ironically... With focus on more female & woke stuff than real storyline..

I'm just happy I saved my money by not watching it in cinemas. Waste of time.",3
"It all makes no sense. Shock VS humor, humor VS forced drama. However a bottle of wine made more sense",3
"I really like this show, but one of its flaw is it's acting, I believe Sophia Dimartinto's acting was a bit bad, and some of the dialogue was pretty cringe, this is my least favorite marvel show, but it's still really good I just think that they could have made it better with some better writing, that's all but overall it's a fun time!",9
"Triss not readhead? And we have black people, when in book the are white??? Wtf if you read original history, or play the witcher series, dont watching this!",1
"I expected from the IMDb score to at least be in for a fun viewing; a bit of hardcore action, Keanu pulling off some tongue-in-cheek deadpan, or at the very least some mindless fun. Neither was to be found, though it was plenty rich in clichés so tired they were almost comatose.

The gunplay and stunts were at times decent, but I couldn't help feeling that the movie should have picked a clearer path. Either downplay the violence and highlight the loss/retribution, or go all in and make it nice and grisly like the much overlooked The Raid (which by the way managed to combine both).

Plus, Michael Nyqkvist is pouring himself gleefully into the mold of Peter Stormare and all other heavily type-casted villains who can't learn convincing accents. Pathetic.",2
"Boring, nothing is happening. 2 girls walking around being scared, wow. Luckily didn't pay to watch it.",2
Watched it last night story telling was gg Oof song were great but overall I seen this movies four times not needed another movie like this but it's viewer choice who m I to judge.overall descent flick.not as great as people are saying I know y,5
I had high hopes for this due to the Oscar awards but was left rather disappointed. It was an odd mix of comedy and serious drama with unconvincing characters and a bit of a stupid story at times. Very different but for me fell flat and very overhyped. I've watched much better thought provoking films with good social commentary.,4
"Worst ending ever. So many plot holes and a character who's only motive was to mislead the audience. People asked me if it's worth watching, now I'm not sure what to say because I liked 90% of the show but the ending matters -it's a key part of a stories structure and Mare of Easttown's ending was a complete blunder.",2
"So much potential. The visual effects are stunning, the chemistry between Bucky and Falcon is pretty nice to see and the fight scenes are on point.

I really like to see more of Bucky and his internal struggles. He is such a badass and interesting character. Also the fight scenes from Bucky are so good that I had to watch them on repeat later on youtube.

Now what ruins the show is the constant intention to smack us in the face with politics. I agree and support the movements but I prefer not to be constantly reminded of all that. I don't need all the TV to be a politically correct advertisement and statement from Disney. I am ok for some subliminar messages but every episode talking about it and centring everything around that is just annoying and takes away from the story. Also the constant dialog about the Black Lives mater movement seemed so cringe. The actors themselves seem to think it to be unnatural and strange. You could literally hear in their voice how unnatural it was for them to say the lines.

For me it ruined the TV show.",6
"This movie lacked the single most important ingredient of a cinema, a plot. This is probably the 2000th movie about the same story in the past 3 decades.

Doesn't matter what Bangladeshi or Indian people think about it, it's just a poor action film. No one will remember it in a month or so. Just just cool down. It's a mainstream summer flick from a third class director.

I'm not angry with Indians, they're just as badly portrayed in Hollywood movies. To all the white people of the western countries, Asia, specially South Asia is filled with people who live in mud huts and has no socio-economic background. We're savages for them, we're cave people for them.

Hopefully they're realize what mistake they have done after this one :-)",4
"I couldn't decide, should it be monitored? Should not be watched? I think it's a weak movie compared to other movies that have received an Oscar. The historical background of the events has not been described. The incident could be described much more effectively. It can still be watched.",6
".. but I didn't. So many people recommended it and from previews it certainly looked like the type I enjoy. Lots of great actors, cool house, okay plot. It just didn't come together like it should have and I'm not sure why. Daniel Craig's bad accent didn't help. I tend to watch a film multiple times but twice was more than enough for me to get my fill.",4
"This is a great show with engaging characters and an interesting mystery. Character arcs are not handled particularly well, but season 3 was my favorite season, if only for the B plot alone. It had me laughing every scene.",8
"You just don't know what is the movie's point. At times it feels like a kids movie and then it doesn't and this keeps happening throughout the movie so you're not sure what is going on.

There isn't much humour. Possibly at all.

It tries to get serious but all you get is few disconnected moments that in the end have no meaning. It just feels boring for the most part.

There is even a breaking of the 4th wall, once.

No consistency whatsoever.

The cast and acting was ok I guess, the script offers so little to recognise any acting.

The entire plotline is just things happening while the reasons are left out.

I just couldn't relate at all, and can't see how it would relate to other people as well.",5
"Although watching this film was enjoyable for the most part I felt as if I was watching a Scorsese filmmaker retrospect all condensed in this 3 1/2 hour movie. This film referenced every Scorsese mob flick from Mean Streets to Casino. I was still waiting for this movie to emerge and it did sort of.

The casting was superb except for 1, Di Niro, Di Niro, was definitely miscast in this production not because he didn't fit the character but because he cannot act. DiNiro has an array of facial expressions which has been passed off for years as genius. The problem is it worked in the 80s but now it is old and tired. Scorsese should of stuck to the proven formula of casting him as a background character actor.

There were a tremendous amount of up in coming talent in this film and the one stand out is Stephen Graham. His performance as the NJ mobster Tony ""Tony Pro"" Provenzano was brilliant and he definitely held his own in two pivotally scenes with Al Pacino.

Watching this film reminded me of the movie Forest Gump in the same way as the ""Gump"" character of Frank Sherhan apparently was a ""witness"" to almost every historic criminal & political occurrence of the 50's, 60's and 70's.

Although Scorsese hits a home run with his attention to detail of the period and his casting of all the supporting and background actors he apparently went to the Di Niro ""well"" one to many times which dragged this movie down to the level of a punch drunk fighter stepping into the ring one more time.

Time to pass the torch, and move on.",3
"I've been half-watching, half playing with my phone because I lost interest in the first episode. My wife is persisting though and so the agony is prolonged. When I am paying attention for more than a few minutes I end up wanting to punch the tv because the storyline/dialogue/acting is so bad. The idiotic decisions and situations makes you wonder how these guys dress themselves in the morning, let alone get chosen to go on this mission. I'll give it 3 stars for the scenery and the robot.",3
"The character development was a bit unreal, the plot was not great and the script was boring at many times.

A story that is so complex should have been revised before shooting.

It is not ok to fail like this with MCU content. So far since Disney joined, it feels like all their releases are falling a bit flat.",9
"45 minutes of this movie elapsed before there was any significant attempt at a plot other than the fact that Logan and Xavier were very down and out. During that 45 minutes there was extensive gore and violence including several cases of men stabbed in the head by Logan's claws. There was one scene where the child, Laura, rolls a decapitated head which presumably was a result of her own fighting. I think Logan said either the F word or S word more frequently than any coherent sentence. Since there was no chance this movie would not be R rated, there was also a short flash of women's breasts just so the movie could be labeled as having nudity. (There are cases where producers actually find this advantageous.) Logan repeatedly uses either drugs or alcohol.

The movie improves from there. We get some plot to explain where the movie should go next and why. The goal is to try to get Laura to Eden.

All the violence and vulgar language continues through the rest of the movie, including at least one blood-spurting decapitation. It also includes the unnecessary killing of a mother and her teen son and then later torture of ""mutant"" children. Even the ""mutant"" children commit extreme acts of gore. I cannot overemphasize how much gore and violence there was.

We do learn more about Laura's origins and there are several other significant events that occur that are extremely relevant in the ongoing X-Men story.

In the ratings, I see a very high percentages of 10 votes, 9 votes and 8 votes. I have to assume that the people gave those votes did so because of the significance of events that take place in the story and their enjoyment level. This is no where near an all-time classic movie. I don't even rate it among the best of the X-Men saga.

The villains were all cliché and overplayed. Hugh Jackman did nothing in the way of credible acting. I don't know if Patrick Stewart was acting like he was feeble or if he is just actually getting old, but even so, not his best performance. For much of the movie Dafne Keen did not speak and tried to look fierce and vicious a lot, which is a little hard for the size of girl she is. Later, she showed some promise, especially with events at the end. Basically, IF there was any acting in this moving, it was done by the children.

I still give this a generous rating of 6. This is because after the first 45 minutes the plot became much more interesting.",6

"James Cameron has prove on thing for me: he is not a film maker, he is an engineer, a technician. Why? Because there is no film to make.

He is a guy that hires artists from everywhere in the planet and, smartly, takes advantage of it. He can afford it. He can make up any world in his mind and then tell everyone that is he new ""project of my life"" - he said exactly the same thing with Titanic.

He hires not only the best visual artists but the VFX people to put his idea on screen. Genius. Who need a good script when you have so much to worry about? Me. I need a good script because I grew up watching films like Vertigo, Jaws, Star Wars, Aliens (!!), Inception, etc. Films that are visually ""outstading"" just for one reason: tell a story. But where is it in Avatar? They forgot, they were too busy.

Want one more argument: who need to make more propaganda about ""how"" the movie was made than ""what"" this movie is about? Answer: James Cameron.",4

So. Damn. Funny! They are brilliant and I'm so glad they did this show.",8
I only watch this series because my husband wants to know what storyline they come up with and we both agree the writing is TERRIBLE!!! I love Marvel movies but I hate the animated series more than I have hated just about any other show I've made myself finish.,1

"Well tonight I went to see the midnight premier of HP7 (I live in Hungary)and I just got home. I waited so long for this movie... I wanted to have an expression of a HP movie without reading the book... So I bought the book on the day of release but never had read it (till know). OK maybe less is left out from the book but I found myself looking at my watch and asking ""come on when is this gonna end?"". A few hours ago i was hyper-excited about this movie, but after seeing it I felt ""well, not a bad movie bet not a good one either"" So this is just my own opinion but as a viewer who does not know the story I felt bored an it was way too slow. Also I'm about to read the book and I'm planning to see the movie again afterwards, so if i have the opportunity I'll write another review from the perspective of a reader.",4
"I love the GF 2. It does miss the presence of Brando but it is an engrossing story and a great addition to the saga.

Whilst I have always had time for this movie and have watched it a few times I suspect that for a new contemporary audience the pacing may be a bit slow and a lack of visual grit that a version made now may enjoy, would have many think it was a bit ho hum. Not a unique problem and unavoidable.

But, I feel it still has plenty to offer and may be as those younger new viewer age a little and are looking for more substance than bells and whistles, then they too can fall in love with it.",7
"As expected, the movie opens with possibly, IMO, the greatest opening scene EVER in the history of movies. The song, the scale, it's all pretty close to the original, even if one or two notes are deliberately sung differently.

Visually, the movie looks great. I wouldn't go as far to say it looks incredible, but it does look pretty good. But that's about it. Like so many people, I have seen the original so many times, I can almost recite every line word for word. And that's where the problem starts. A lot of the wisecracks and humor has been discarded with, for no apparent reason.

So many of my favourite one-liners and jokes have been replaced with bland, instantly forgettable lines. Beyonce just overdoes all her lines, and the new song they slotted in, Spirit, was just flat and pointless, even in its two minutes of existence.

For anyone who hasn't seen the original (and I realised there were actually quite a few of those in the audience with me), it might just be an average movie. For those of us who grew up with it over the past 25 years, it is a disappointing, flat, soul-less money grab by Disney and they should be ashamed of it. But of course, they aren't. It's all about the money, and not the heart, even though that's what Disney used to claim all those years back.

The recent Jungle Book, which came out a couple of years ago, was much better than this movie in every aspect. Such a sad indication of what Disney has become.",4

Amala Paul , nizhalgal Ravi , Suzanne and others gave enough amount of life to their character ! BGM is the one which elevates this plot driven psycho thriller with high points and seat edge thrilling experiences in it's whole run ! Cannot reveal much about the plot ,the villain and the reasons behind the murders .

"By far this show is easily one of the top 3 best shows to come out lately. the storyline is great, the cast was ingeniously picked, and since you can tie up the movies with the storyline of the the show gives it such a broad room to grow that most shows just don't have. I just gotta say good job people REALLY good job!

but only time will tell because the pilot for this show could've been better, even though they made up for in the later episodes; nevertheless it is still a fantastic new show that me along with millions of people are waiting in the edge of our seats to see what will come of it. and on my last note: AGENT COULSON LIVESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!",10
"The five (5) stars Frances McDormand, Steve Buscemi, William H. Macy, Peter Stormare, and Harve Presnell in the order listed made this a spectacular film, but without the Coen brothers, Ethan and Joel as the triple threats that they are in writing, producing and directing this dark comedy/crime film it would not have been as memorable a film that it has become.

So good is this simple story line that has been repeated hundreds of times before and after this 1996 rendition of a kidnapping gone wrong but somehow the combination of these five (5) top actors quirky midwestern accents, and mannerisms, and the superb cinematography and scenes developed by the two (2) Coen brothers makes this film a classic that will surely stand the test of time and grow in stature as each decade passes us by.

I would rate this film certainly in the realm of the top 100 films of the 21st century. I give it a highly rated and deserving 9 out of 10 IMDB rating. Mrs. Shullivan also agrees with my evaluation and the 2014 TV spinoff series is a deserving homage to this 1996 film classic.",9
"I found ""Community"" to be disappointing, for the same reason I found Arrested Development to be disappointing: These serials either 1) evolve (Arrested), or 2) out-of-the-gate commence to be (Community) a sort of vehicle for characters to ply their skills at fleshing out unidimensional characters bouncing about in an ever-rarifying narrative void.

The problem, for me, is that I'm too used to enjoying the strength of clear, overarching narrative integrity, e.g., ""Breaking Bad"", or--using the example of feature film--early Fellini or Coen Bros. Letting clearly talented actors and actresses interminably free-style their ways through a loosely-knit agglomeration of story elements and character motivations will never float my boat.

To further illustrate my point, consider ""Glee"": To my mind, it inhabits a middle space between the best and worst that a serial can achieve. It sort of smells like a vehicle project, but retains enough narrative pathos and genuine human potential exploration--and, in the case of ""Glee"", significant musical production labors-of-love--to simmer along nicely and keep the interest colorful *and* natural. Heck, ""Glee"" is done well enough that it even manages to make a person want to suspend disbelief and enjoy watching a bunch of campus losers develop into a professional-sounding musical group! Anyway, I sort of had high hopes for Community. But, after 3 episodes, I got the picture. On the off-chance that the person reading this may feel that three viewings is ""judging a book by its cover,"" let me remind you that the pilot (*one* viewing) is fully expected to be the standard by which a series is _supposed to be_ judged! They're lucky to have gotten three installments worth of indulgence out of me!

Did they hire good writers half-way through the first Season? The second? Bully for them!

P.S.: The stars I gave, I gave for the raw acting moxy. Everything else is missing, and so are those other stars.",5

"STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning

Malorie (Sandra Bullock) is an ordinary woman, who's just learned she's pregnant, who is suddenly plunged into a nightmare world of madness and mayhem, when people start suicidally throwing themselves to their doom. After her sister Jessica (Sarah Paulson) falls victim to this madness, she hauls herself into the home of Douglas (John Malkovich), a cynical man mistrustful of everyone, along with a group of other survivors. The story cuts between this and Malorie commandeering two young children to safety in blindfolds...

Horror films can't seem to get it right these days. They're either taking the cheap and easy route, overloading on jump scares and loud screeching, or they're trying to be too deep and cerebral, literally jumping from one extreme to another. And in the latter case, it's always at the crux of a really far fetched, far out concept, as is the case with Bird Box, the new Netflix film that seems to have everybody talking. The first thing that springs to mind less than five minutes into it is the recent big screen frightener A Quiet Place, a similarly over the top film that perfectly illustrates what I'm talking about.

For all its high concept pretensions though, it soon succumbs to the clichés all too easily, with a bunch of stereotypical characters all holed up in a remote location, and echoes of other horror fare, such as 28 Days Later..., also pervade. Telling the story in two separate strands, it all pans out too long and comes off as too long winded. Even the performances, from a mostly seasoned supporting cast, don't feel like they're really heartfelt. Even Bullock feels flat and awkward in the first half, although she does come alive a bit in the second.

It's all intriguing and diverting enough not to be a complete failure, but you just wish everyone involved had not tried to be so high handed. In the end, what seems to be some kind of Sixth Sense style twist rolls by, but if you can put it together in one go, you're a better man than me. Personally, I'd got to the stage when I just wanted to slap on one of those damn blindfolds myself and relax. **",4
The director has just spaffed action scenes in one after the other in a confusing non-chronological order. Anyone who knows Marvel will expect more and anyone who doesn't will be confused.,4
Its ok just ok. Amazing cast. Amazing cast but even they cant make this quirky show work.,3
Horribly cute. A waste of some good actors working with treacle. The settings were very believable. Reminds me of a poor Disney live action movie from the 60's. Please do not make a sequel to this picture.,2

"As 2023 comes to a close, I'd say ""Barbie"" stands out as the best movie of the year.

The story touched my heart and left me inspired. Watching a film where women take on the most significant roles felt really refreshing. I especially enjoyed the clever satirical jokes targeting patriarchy.

Robbie did an impressive job portraying Barbie! At the movie's start, she embodied the classic Barbie image, but by the end, she had gracefully evolved into a woman. Her performance was incredibly nuanced.

The soundtrack was memorable, and the cinematography was outstanding. I initially thought using a lot of pink might be odd, but it worked brilliantly. Kudos to Greta, she is genius!

I adore Barbie; it's a perfect movie for me as an East Asian girl. I'm eagerly anticipating more female icons and films featuring strong female characters!",10

"The quest to create the perfect human using secret methods is as old as time - Hitler invented cocaine in his efforts to create a super human military. I normally like reading reviews but most here are, not surprisingly, from a very young crowd who mainly see this as a new twist on the super hero theme. All in all, it's a well done fantasy with great attention to detail right down to the cheap gaudy costumes, dramatization of the idiotic way the public reacts to celebrities, how celebrities control the media, and how the giant corporations control politics. It's very graphic & violent w/fetish situations. The characters are people we get to know and have an investment in even if we don't necessarily like them. Lots of interesting characters, situations, & surprises. It's dark but humorous although not in the black humor genre. I haven't gotten to S3 yet so the many saying the series bends to the woke theme at that point, I haven't experienced. But so far it's more of a lens at how rediculous the far end of each narrative is. All I can say on that is, anyone who sees Homelander as a rep of the Republicans had an extremely warped sense of what the Republicans actually stand for. But I guarantee many libs watching think that's exactly what they stand for. But I see this as more of an extreme caraciture of how the media interprets ideals, and in that sense it's intended as a sad comment on those who buy into their hype.",8
"Really tried hard to wedge a place for Millie Brown into the Sherlock series. She was good as 7 but now she's a bit over hyped and she seems to buy her own hype. She's a good actor who has yet to really do work, me thinks. Other actors try their best to prop her up but clearly it is a lot to ask. I find her more than a little ostentatious and perhaps one too many adderal doses before shooting: I live Sherlock, all the way back to the original, this is a departure I think I can safely say. Still better than many shows I guess. The gradual cutification and dumbing down of stories with unwanted action or romance continues",3
"I havn´t laughed this mutch in awhile. As a horror movie i give it 1/10, but as a farce, which i saw this movie as - a 5/10.

In no way did the characters act credible as lighthouse keepers from the 1890s. Or cimply as people - with or without all the madness. But don´t get me wrong - both Dafoe and Pattinson are excellent as lunatics. After 15 minutes i couldn´t stop laughing when Dafoes sour old fart of a character showed up on the screen.

Neither of the two (Dafoe and Pattinson) were the least bit scary just unduly crazy, in sometimes, tragic-comical Ways. So as a horror or mystery movie this film is a joke but due to the actors ability to express madness and the creators over the top weird scenes - it often became laughable instead (even though it probably wasnt ment to be). Reviewers interprets a lot of different ""truth"" in all the fog and crazieness - but to me the result was just a splash of rubbish.

In the end, its not a particularly good movie in any way, so a 5/10 for the performances by the two.",5

"The movie has embodied a very important social message in a very entertaining manner. There are layers of meanings to each scene and dialogue. Unlike other movies with a social message which are generally set in a very serious or boring tone, Barbie seems like a very refreshing watch. The comedy is on point. One observation after the movie was that many people missed the point of the whole movie. The message of feminism was wrapped in humour so well that many people missed the whole underlying message. The depiction also seemed a bit too complex to comprehend (which could be both a positive and negative thing).",9
"Aside from some humorous moments between Parker and Happy, this one is quite dull.",4
"Just to set something straight. Wonder Woman is way better than either Batman v Superman or Suicide Squad. It has what the others are missing, which is a ""heart"". Also, it's a funny movie with Chris Pine acting at his best. And no doubt, Gal Gadot seems to be the perfect choice for Wonder Woman. Still...This movie suffers from the same reason as the other two movies, which is action and villains...It's too much CGI and a lot of times it is too obvious, it just ruins many of the action sequences. This goes for the final battle as well. It's just worse, the main villain does not represent a danger in any way. It just floats in the air and that's all...wtf... It really is too bad because this could have been a very good movie...Instead it's a movie with great characters, fun,a great soundtrack, but broken by the action sequences and villains which are just so bad...It's really a shame",4
"So this is the first Thor movie I've ever watched and while I was watching it, something about it seemed off.

I won't go into a detailed review since other people have already done a good job of doing that but...

I realized the style of humor really just reminded me of one of those Family guy parodies just as they did with Star Wars.

That's why I didn't really enjoy it. Oh well. :/",4
"As in the title, the movie is very predictable and cliché. Usually I do a quite detail research before going to the cinema, this time I just quickly looked at IMDb rating and it was a mistake.. not the first one unfortunately. The movie is not ambitious at all. It tries to tell a bigger story, pass some message but it does it very poorly. Too much in this movie happens in too short time, which leads to the situation where most of the scenes and behaviors of movie characters are not realistic. While watching it I hoped I would be watching now any of the Rocky later movies, that I have seen already. Even the boxing scenes where naive and they were just proving that whoever did this movie has no idea about boxing. Not recommending anyone to waste time for this movie, but of course it is just my subjective opinion. I guess I was just not a target group for this movie and I should not end up watching it.",2
Outstanding movie Vicky is fabulous ...go and filled proud Jai Hind,8
Overrated so disappointed 😞 I didn't like it Seen so better series than this,3
I'm not certain that people watched the same film I did? I was gripped and the emotional content is terrific great acting and I loved the music. A brilliant twist at the end gave it extra zest for a 9 for me.,9
"Buckle up, this is a short critical review. While going through the journey along with Aang and his crew, I found myself getting fascinated by knowing the Bending World more and more in each episode. The last time I had checked, the World-Building greatness was only achieved by Tolkien and Martin (Yeah, I watched ATLA after GOT came out in 2011). Nevertheless, this show's creators deserve that greatness reputation as well. I have nothing bad to say about his show.",10
5 is generous. So surprised and a little horrified to see a rating much higher than six!! I was extremely excited to see Winona as the lead actress but was immediately turned off by her performance. I'm sorry to say it but annoying is the only way to describe it. A definite Super 8 rip off & not nearly as well done despite what other reviewers might say. I'm 4 episodes in with 4 more to go. It's a bit like torture but I will finish watching them. I can't seem to get invested in any of the characters. Mike is OK. I saw one foreign viewer/reviewer refer to it as a masterpiece. RIDICULOUS!! Definitely not! Get real people! X-Files is a 9-10 not this piece of junk!,5
I am so impresed with this Serie!! It starts slow and a bit confusing but then... it story is so original and unexpected!! I loved it!,9
"Decided to watch this after it won 7 oscars. The movie is messy, not interesting storyline. There is no story for most part, it just continues for 2.5 hrs without a storyline. Don't recommend anyone to watch.

The only differentiating thing is probably that no one has explored this kind of plot and movie. But that's not enough to make a good movie IMO. The last 30 mins just drag along and you wait for the movie to end.

I didn't understand why its being praised critically. It could have been more structured in its message and stuck to conveying 1 message. But sadly, that's not the case. Recommend to not watch.",2
"Okay, here's my two-star take on Normal People, served with a side of personal nitpicking:

First, the good stuff. The actors, wow. They crackle with raw talent, especially Marianne. You can practically feel the weight of her secrets in her every blink. And the intimacy, oof, it's there in every stolen glance, every whispered word. I was hooked on their chemistry, like a moth to a flamethrower.

But then, the pacing. It crawls, meanders, leaves you wondering if you accidentally skipped an episode. We get endless shots of Connell kicking a football, Marianne staring out windows, their unspoken emotions swirling like dust bunnies in a neglected corner. I get it, simmering tension, but sometimes I just wanted to yell, ""Spit it out already!""

And speaking of spit, the dialogue. So much unspoken longing, so much angst disguised as intellectual banter. I longed for a bit of bluntness, a good old-fashioned ""I love you"" instead of all the cryptic metaphors about Yeats and Foucault.

Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm too old for this teenage will-they-won't-they dance. Maybe I need a bit more plot, a bit less navel-gazing. But in the end, Normal People felt like a beautiful, frustratingly slow burn that never quite reached the fireworks I craved. It's a gorgeous portrait of young love, sure, but sometimes a love story needs a little more fire, a little less smoke.",4
"There is so little plot advancement I couldn't wait for this to be over. The acting is good at times but the plot just stagnates.

The parents have no depth, the cop is unlikable and there are basically no redeeming qualities to any of the characters except Joy's patents that see that things are going to far with the investigation.

The antagonist is not at all interesting and the depravity of the treatment of suspects is sickening. There is some exposition there that ties into another bit of the plot but that is not really explored and so there's nothing compelling about the discovery.

All in all a very unsatisfying movie.",3
"It's so boring and slow with too much sexy scenes.

Nothing really happens to a couple of people who I couldn't find myself carrying about.

I can't understand why many people give positive point to this series.",1
"Such a matter class action packed entertainment movie .... never got to see such an action in any Indian movie . Everything was pitched perfectly . Cinematography and direction of the movie keeps you on the edge of your seat . There is not even a single scene which can be missed . Vicky kaushal, paresh rawal and all others gave the example of strong acting . Warcry of the army will give everyone goosebumps for sure ... Story and screenplay are too much engaging Do watch this movie in theatres for its visual and sound appeal Must must watch movie .",10
"A much awaited and anticipated movie of the year, well as i went in to watch the movie, the flick starts with gunshots and carries gunshots throughout the story lane, the base of the story is genuine and after watching this part you can't wait to watch the next part. the movie will keep you on your seats till it ends. the best thing or character in the movie is manoj bajpai, Great job one of the best of his career. his dialogues, his moves(when he hits over durga), and his ways of killing and his bare cruelty which people loves. the slang is used as a medium of expression in this entertainer, everyone in this movie has done there part to the perfect part, the cast is beautifully picked, and in the cast the lead villain is played by Tigmanshu Dhulia(director of Paan Singh Tomar), which was again a surprise element. as per story and cast were beautiful so were all the scenes of the movie. every scene of the movie is complete unlike some of bollywood movies(delhi-6, oops) and most of all the story is taken through time gap so beautifully that you won't be able to catch the difference between the old and new actors. this movie is worth watching and will make you laugh with the pervert sense and will make you understand the movie with the help of commentary. based on some of real incidents the movie is a real entertainer and can be called sholay of this decade. this will bot be forgiven this easily. this will give your minds a blow for lifetime.",9
"The best way to describe Interstellar is ""Wow."" Aesthetically though. This might be one of Hollywood's milestones of transcending their technical abilities. Those parts of traveling through time and space are totally magnificent, a journey that would blow people away on how a movie could depict such scenario of space odyssey, since of course, 2001. How I explain this may sound too hyperbolic, but really it is a pretty breathtaking ride that the audience may forget its heavy flaws. But sometimes that cannot be possible, the film begs its audience to join with its own philosophy as well, and once it goes deeper to that subject, things somehow become complicated. As a visual feast, Interstellar is perfect, but the movie inevitably wants to preach which robs much of the Sci-Fi potential.

The movie pushes human elements to the story, evidently and verbally. The mission should always have to involve Cooper's sadness of letting go of his family. It could have worked if it was all that simple, but it stretches like it's as important as the survival of the human race. The real problem there is it rather feels like a plot device. Mostly a distraction, hindering the better story happening to its actual journey. To the main side of the movie, there are many interesting bits at the concept, like how the Earth falls apart isn't some destructive disaster. Instead it's just some massive climate change and dying plants. The space travel's situation however is encountering unexpected phenomena when they pass through some wormhole or visit a planet. As a narrow minded science fiction, this could have been gripping, but the movie wants some soul within its characters, but the script overdoes the monologues, which ends up sounding pretentious at attempting to be poetic. Especially the one that Brand explains whatever about love, it sounds more of a speech worth groaning at.

Much of it just doesn't work at all, the drama only earns vitality when it's simply about trying to live up a promise of coming back to Earth and save humanity, but once it gets to the third act, things gone to vast absurdity for the sake of connecting their mission to the relationship of Cooper and his daughter. Some might say it's affecting, but it's more of a compromise. Thanks to its actors, it at least makes the melodrama tolerable. Aside of that concern, the space adventure is still quite the experience. Christopher Nolan has a conservative technique when it comes to visuals, but no matter how real or CG-ed the images are, they are all still pretty stunning. There is a total amazement at shots of comparing the scale of their vessel to the largeness of the galaxy, or warping into wormholes, or sights of any cold alien planet. From special effects to cinematography, the movie triumphs.

Interstellar could have been more keen at showcasing its scientific concept than attempting to make inspiring pick-up lines. No matter how gorgeous the visuals are, you still couldn't completely blind yourself from its space-soap-opera that leads to a silly climax and a creepy epilogue, but the idea and technical achievements are very big merits, it provides plenty of intrigue, more mind-blowing than its dramatic dialogues. It's not that I have any problems with drama, the choices the film picks just doesn't help transcending the material. If you are only in for the journey, then prepare to be awed, because that space adventure is the best thing the film could offer: nothing more, nothing less.",7
"I don't know why it was liked so much. It was a good show, but everything was predictable.",7
"First few episodes held my interest and pulled me in.....however, then it took a down turn which picked up a little but then slowed down again. Could have had fewer episodes. There are lots of scenes drawn out with just ominous music and slow camera work. The fast forward button came in handy. I stuck it out, but I rushed to the ending. Wasn't the worst, but wasn't the best either. I liked the cast so that helped.",6
"It could have been better if they didn't just play the role of an actor. Joel is unique and almost 90% of the attention is on him. Although the story has nothing to offer other than Joel and his surroundings, votes, advertisements and the HBO brand have created another image of this series!!!

What you will see is a picture of buildings and sets that look very fake and artificial and an apocalyptic adventure similar to the flagships of this title, which includes zombies (monsters infected with anger) or anything else that is on a planet facing Destruction is rampant.

There is some creativity and intelligence in this version. The actors are quite good, the special effects are great but the stuff is predictable and as far as the story goes it's nothing we haven't seen, heard or cared about before.",5
Decent action film. The ending ruined it for me. Ending sucked!,4
"Yesterday I experienced Captain America 2 in all its freaking glory. My instant reaction after watching the movie was... ""Now this is how you make a Comic Book Super-Hero Flick, Thank you Marvel :)""

Captain America 2 is an awesome movie which every marvel fan or comic book buff must watch. It has an enthralling story which is nicely paced with superb action and epic set piece battles. This one is way ahead of any Marvel action flick you've seen till date. Above all, it has also given fans the best on screen Super-Villain since Loki.

Story: (No Spoilers) One of THE BEST! It's high time and I'm sickeningly fed up of Super-Hero movies where story is taken for granted. A negligence which exists just for sake of tying all the distracted pieces so as to make it presentable on screen. Captain America 2 is my savior as it easily exceeded my expectations. Not even a single moment of boredom or dullness to criticize or crib about. Hats Off! And yeah... DO NOT miss the post-credit scene. Marvel never disappoints when it comes to these mind-boggling teasers which keeps tickling our curiosity - keep craving until-next-time!

Characters: Captain America: Chris Evans successfully captures and portrays the essence of Steve Rogers, a soldier from the past who is struggling to fit into the modern world where lines between freedom and fear are blurred. Falcon: Anthony Mackie has done a fantastic job playing the daring sidekick who supports our captain both emotionally and in the heat of the action. Falcon sequences are among the best action scenes the movie offers.

Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) comes on top as one of the biggest highlights of the movie. He fits perfectly as one of the best on screen Super-Villain Marvel has to offer, rivaling our favorite Loki (Tom Hiddleston) himself. Marvel is criticized for not treating its Super- Villains with the character, story and importance they deserve in the movies. But they've done an amazing job with The Winter Soldier. Every moment he is present on screen is a delight of terror and jaw-dropping fight sequences full of awe.

Verdict: This is one of the best Super-Hero movie made till date. A political thriller carrying nostalgia from the 70's, served with one of the best story-line ever seen in Marvel movies. This one has raised a bar for Super-Hero movies... ""Now This Is How Its Done""... a Must Must WATCH.

Rating: 8.5 / 10 (You cannot afford to miss this one)

"Oh my god, Anurag kashyap boss u made such a inconceivable😯 series ""sacred games"" .Hats off. The name of the last episode is ""Yayati"" which was a character from Mahabharat and indirectly connecting to the story. And the last 3mint scenes its take 7mint for me to understand.But after watching again again the last 2mint . i noticed two things and that made me understood 😊. The first season has presented only the 15 days of ""Gaitonde's 25 days"" and remaining 10 days hope that i can see in next upcoming season "" Sacred Games 2"" and I m excited for that.😁",9
"I see that the pro reviewers out there tended to like this film less than everyday audience members, the most common reason being its wildly inconsistent tone. It can veer in an instant from funny to strange to tragic, not just from scene to scene but even within a scene. Obviously this is what director Taika Waititi was trying for -- you can't just come up with that approach by accident -- and admittedly it makes it kind of hard for us viewers to just settle in to a single approach.

But it's still easy to get involved. The central character, 10-year-old Jojo (Roman Griffin Davis) is very winning as an innocent, malleable youth trapped deep within a world of Nazi propaganda. His mother Rosie (Scarlett Johanssen) has an explosive secret: she is part of the resistance and moreover is giving sanctuary to a Jewish girl (Thomasin MacKenzie) hiding in their house. Little Jojo doesn't realize either of these things till well along in the plot. In the meantime he has visits from an imaginary friend, Adolf himself (Waititi, in an even weirder role than Korg), who emits consistently strange and contradictory advice that Jojo can't fully act on.

Side characters played by Sam Rockwell, Rebel Wilson, Stephen Merchant, and young Archie Yates help fill in the anti-hate message of the film by acting out the extreme ways hate can manifest itself in a society that was willing to let it happen. All of them are fine -- I just wish that more time could have been spent with Rosie (Jojo's mom), but part of the point is that we see any of the other characters only in the way that young Jojo see them. Kids live in their own world.

It's all gonzo and weird. What genre does this even belong to? Unclassifiable. I don't even know how to assign a numerical rating to it on the IMdB scale. I'd say it's a black comedy but it has too many other elements (including, near the end, a gut-punch as brutal as anything I've seen in the movies). But it also has real warmth (in places), real tragedy (in places), and real pathos.

But the thing is that it's well done. Waititi obviously had in mind to use the end of the Nazi era to make certain statements about human nature. What's the message in the end? I think he gives us that right at the beginning of the credits, in a quote from Rilke: ""Let everything happen to you/ Beauty and terror/ Just keep going/ No feeling is final.""",6
"This is one of the best ever series. It has an amazing story, which is intrigue ask thanks to Arunabh, Amit and not forgetting Biswapati a Sarkar. This is one of the best ever series. It has an amazing story, which is intrigue ask thanks to Arunabh, Amit and not forgetting Biswapati a Sarkar. Also the speechless acting of the actors made it commendable. People initially questioned whether this is the same as silicon valley, No! It's completely different, with an amazing storyline which is better than silicon valley and without any time pass. If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend you to watch it, as you may miss something really good! Great work TVF! Week, season 1 was so epic. Will wait for the season 2. Well deserved to be in the top 30.",10
Lost interest in 2019 after watching only 4 episodes I think. Didnt even end up finishing the season but I tried in 2021 cause I saw they made a season 2 and I thought maybe it will be fun but damn!! I think they are taking advantage of us for loving the movie. The most annoying character is Smith. Im on season 1 episode 8 and o dont think il be watching the second season.,4
"The nostalgic feeling of being 7, watching this on Nick while you're dad is on a business call, and imagining what it would be like to ride Appa through the cosmos. Not a care in the world. A manifest destiny of childhood freedom. This show is fire.",10
"India should be bursting with original stories.But Bollywood remains wedded to the big fat wedding formula and its hackneyed variations.Of late, there is a tendency to present the same stories in new settings, using one of the many accents of Hindi, to add color to the dialogues.Such films tap into the need to hear and see ""authentic"" local characters going about the same business of giving us a typical Bollywood musical or gangster saga.That mob flicks are also musicals is a giant folly, a case in point the highly stylized Gangs of Wasseypore, which had excellent songs but they ideally belong outside the film,as a part of its marketing ecosystem.

Special 26 is directed by Neeraj Pandey who made the audience favorite A Wednesday. This time he makes a heist film based on the urban legend of fake CBI men raiding and walking away with black money in the mid 80's.Its a great idea, we need our own Oceans 11 and since India has a jumbo population he gives us Special 26, the more the merrier! In fact one of the characters PK Sharma (Anupam Kher) has a huge battalion of children, he tells the mastermind Ajay Singh(Akshay Kumar), that there was no TV in his time, a lame excuse to make babies for fun.And the condoms called Nirodh distributed by the government were melted down to make flip-flop's in a scam!

Pandey gets the India of the 80's right, down to the street scenes strewn with Maruti 800s and Premier Padmini's. When he briefly shifts the action to Kolkata he must have sighed with relief, not much has changed there.The movie begins with stock footage of a Republic Day parade, Rajiv Gandhi accompanied by a portly Giani Jail Singh and Narasimha Rao in white shoes. How I enjoyed those white shoes.In this wimpy political climate we see PK Sharma and Ajay Singh raid the bungalow of a minister, posing as CBI officers.They have two other accomplices and a few real police officers to lend credibility. The raid looks authentic, this was a good way for CBI and Income Tax officials to make money back then.My memory of a raid on my family came alive, but between us dear reader, we proved to be a waste of time for the IT guys.(Back then IT meant income tax)

PK Gupta is getting old and wants to retire.Like all good scamster's they want to melt away into the Dubai sunset with one final big job.Ajay too is tempted, lady love is teasing him in the form of Kajal Aggarwal.He is getting old too and wants some action, PK Guptaji has already produced a cricket team, and his bio clock is ticking.Meanwhile the cops who inadvertently assisted them in their raid on the minister are in trouble and Jimmy Sheirgil ,the inspector, wants to clear his name.He joins forces with CBI hotshot Waseem Khan played by Manoj Bajpai to track the gang down. Waseen Khan is brilliant and energetic.Watch him chase down a bad guy on his Lambretta.

Ajay thinks up a big one, a huge jewelry store in Mumbai. But wait a minute, why should the owner hand over all his ornaments just because a CBI team is raiding him.This is the exact reason why Tribhovandas Jewelers deny to this day that they were the victims of a heist.Films involve suspension of disbelief and we should happily do so here, the rewards are quite refreshing. Does this faux docudrama morph into a genuine heist film? I will leave it up to you to find out.

Special 26 loses pace occasionally due to the love angle and the songs which are its love children.There are a few genuine laughs here and the cast delivers a rock solid performances. The back stories of some of the other players should have been explored further as well as the genesis of this gang.How they find a target would have made for a wonderful subplot but sadly that strand is not explored here.Doing all that would mean sacrificing the holy songs.

The color palette of film, costumes, set design and background score all add up to a very well crafted film. The locations are atmospheric, no credit to the line producers of Kolkata though.There is a wonderful scene staged in front of a small Indian Airlines plane.Ajay and PK talk, people think he is a govt. big shot.There used to be this Vayudoot airlines run as a subsidiary of Indian Airlines,serving remote parts of the country, mostly to ferry government officials while the losses were absorbed by the Civil Aviation Ministry.To pull out one of those little planes is a masterstroke.And oh the golden age of Beetel land phones(manufactured by Sunil Mittal of Airtel), a single cellphone and the plot would collapse like a pack of cards.

Small and effective heist films have become international classics like the good old French Rififi(1955) which had a nail-biting 20 minute silent safe cracking sequence and the Argentinian film Nine Queens(2000) which has been remade many times.Special 26 is a very good film, and delivers an authentic 80's feel with an engaging plot. A fundamental rule of cinema is three good scenes, no bad scenes.Neeraj Pandey delivers more than three good scenes, several, in fact. Its 2 hours very well spent, the rest 30 minutes you can fiddle with your smart phone, take a leak, buy popcorn. Neeraj Pandey is one of our smartest directors and is improving with every film.Thats really exciting.",7
"Daredevil's premise is loosely based on events that have happened in the MCU in the past, specifically Avengers. In one of the shots of Ben Urich's (one of my favorite characters) office there are front pages from both the Battle of New York (Avengers), and one of the Hulk from his stint of destruction in a movie that happened so long ago I'd forgotten they considered it canonical. There are mentions of other things like Wesley's (my favorite character of this season) vague descriptions of Thor and Ironman which are shown in one of the trailers. Other than little hints there is nothing in the show that has been explained elsewhere that is pertinent to your enjoyment.

4. Is it better than Daredevil (2003)? -Yes. I was a more or less comfortable with the Daredevil myths going in so I can't speak very much to the ease in which they introduce information, except that there is still more to learn about Matt Murdock's past! Even though the season is concluded there are allusions to the future story lines of season 2! For those looking for the mystical story line it really doesn't pick up except in episode 7. Also Elektra is teased (for fans of Elektra), but is identifiable as a major plot point for season 2. (under the assumption they get a season two which I obviously think they deserve) Even Foggy mentions her in a flashback (I'm assuming here there may be a connection I'm simply wanting to make.) While the Battlin' Jack Murdock story line is somewhat interesting, I'm glad it was no longer than what it was. It stayed it's welcome and left, with enough reverential nods to the fact his dad was a major part of his life to cut it off.

Villains - Wesley is a solid character and, personally, the best villainous character on the show. He's not great at being a villain, he's just a gopher in all due respect, but he's witty and he can get down to blood- spurting business when he needs to. The Russians - Early main protagonists. They are stereotypical, but very weird and interesting. The brotherly bond is about the only character development they have, though Vladimir gets a little more interesting as time goes on.

Wilson Fisk- I feel like he's simply okay, which might be a problem for some people. Early on I really dug him, and he was one of the reasons I kept watching so vehemently. However, I feel like Vincent D'Onofrio gave up the ruse of playing a troubled character into playing a villain in the back half of the season, which is weird considering his arc at that point. He specifically makes a choice with his voice making it more… cartoon-y? It just through me off in what was otherwise a really cool performance.

Solid cast, and I don't hate anyone (except maybe Vanessa, but personal preference). Rosario Dawson, as Claire Temple, was my stand out favorite early on in the series, but I have a feeling there was a scheduling conflict, or they couldn't pay her enough for the story they included her in. Vondie Curtis-Hall, as Ben Urich was my number two automatically, and I like his arch and his character and his pizazz. Foggy is fair, and well cast in Elden Henson, he's funny when he's supposed to be and was more than adequate in the dramatic scenes. There is a bit midway through the back half when I felt he (and Karen) were a little whiny, but I think that was the writers and not the actors. Karen was good, but I must admit I have a soft spot for Deborah Ann Woll, so take this with a grain of salt. Karen's character connected with other sub-characters a lot better than someone like Foggy, and I felt she was integral to exploring those plots, most of the time. Out of the three members of Nelson and Murdock, Foggy definitely has his place firmly set in the firm, which miffed me when the writers weren't letting him do lawyer-y things. Charlie Cox does a great job with his American accent, and even though there are small times when I hear him Irishing up at the end of a sentence, he is supposed to be somewhat Irish (Not enough to have any accent whatsoever, but let me have this one). He's not red-headed at all, but his acting as Matt Murdock is solid. I would have liked to see them make the blindness more believable, and I think they had this brought up to them, because they keep needing to have the characters remind us he is blind. I'll take this time to mention the child actor playing young Matt in the flashbacks did a great job. Daredevil was a solid investment in a solid story. As a fan of DC Comics, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe this, along with Arrow, really fill that inward need of having a live action Batman show on television. I think that the dark tones of this show, with the focus on crime instead of strictly super villains really fit what I would want out of a Batman: Year One type TV show (which makes sense because this is more or less an adaptation of Frank Miller's Man Without Fear.) There is enough grit and violence to really instill a sense of mortality in this world for me (if broken protruding bones freak you out I would recommend watching with a friend who can tell you when to look back at the screen). I look forward to Jessica Jones which comes next in the Defender's series.",9
"Sherlock Holmes is positing itself as a new beginning for the iconic Baker Street detective, even going so far as to set itself up for a sequel with its series' most recognizable villain much in the same way that Batman Begins did with the Joker. Only problem is, it's not an entirely effective reboot. For starters, it's plagued by a blockbuster mindset, which means for every interesting scene featuring Holmes' skills of deduction, we're treated to a scene of fisticuffs, or explosions, or large propelling CGI objects -- such as ship anchors -- whizzing by and narrowly missing the heroes.

Some of these action sequences might have been somewhat amusing if they didn't feel so stale and recycled, or if their special effects were actually special and didn't appear to be so outdated. When you open your film against Avatar, make sure it doesn't look like it just stepped out of The Mummy's school of special effects wizardry. The excess of bad CGI pulled me right out of the movie.

The strengths? There are two: Robert Downey, Jr. (in a role he was so obviously right for, that I'm surprised it took us so long to notice), and Jude Law. Downey's been on a roll lately, and this is his second assured franchise since Iron Man, but Law is receiving less attention for his performance, which is a great foil to Downey's eccentric Holmes. The two of them have effortless chemistry and I'd watch a sequel just for more of their back-and-forth bickering.

But that's really the most credit that can be given. The film's too long -- it didn't need to be more than two hours -- and the script just goes through all the most predictable motions. Guy Ritchie's direction is distinct enough that the picture's style avoids being generic, but he's too proud of his slow-motion sequences and when he does decide to film an action sequence at full speed, it's edited so quick and tight that you can't really tell who's punching whom. When Sherlock rescues the Damsel In Distress (Rachel McAdams, giving what may easily be the worst performance of her career), the whole thing happens so fast that whatever clever reasoning he just employed to save her is lost on the audience.

Sherlock Holmes is more Van Helsing than Batman Begins, but there's a lot of room for improvement here, and I smell franchise potential. With a better director (or, at least, the same director willing to sacrifice his directorial vices for the sake of the story), and a better screenplay, the next one could be a real delight. This one's just a fairly passable end-of-the-year distraction, rendered worthy of a home viewing thanks to strong performances lost amidst a clutter of gratuitous action and CGI.",5

"Superbad manages to be both enjoyable and touching, and not in the creepy-uncle sort of way, either. If you can stomach the 186 instances of the f-word - and I'm sure most of you can - you'll never stop laughing. It's hysterical. I'm not going to put it on the level of classics such as Airplane! or Young Frankenstein, but coming from a thirtysomething who's not the intended audience, it's badass in its funniosity. It's a movie in which high school seniors talk like high school seniors and act like high school seniors, not a movie like Porky's, in which guys with receding hairlines pretended they hadn't yet grown pubic hair.

First things first - I'm changing my name to McLovin, because it's THAT hardcore. When chicks hear my name, they may give me an askance look, but they're really thinking, ""Hm, that is so hawt."" I know this because Fogel (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) wound up scoring, sort of, on the basis of his new name. That's right, pushed-up glasses, dorky haircut, stammering, it all means diddly if you have one and only one name. Why else did Madonna get so much action back in the day? Or Jackee'? Or Cher. Or Fabio. Yes, I'll be the thirtysomething, Dilbert-like Fabio. Chicks dig that.

Fantasy aside, here's the basic plot. Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) are longtime buds who are nearing the end of their high school existence. They expected to go to college together as well, but it turned out that Evan was hella smarter than Seth, so although the former got into Dartmouth, the latter could do no better than a state college. Moreover, it's the standard end-of-school party time! Seth wants desperately to hook up with Jules, who's hosting the party. To get into her good graces, he tells her that he and Evan will supply the shindig with booze. (Everyone's underage, in case that wasn't clear.) Meanwhile, Evan has the hots for Becca, whom he respects - Evan's one of those quiet, sensitive types, always tripping over himself not to be impolite while being awkward. The boys now have a quest - use Fogel's newfound fake ID - he's suddenly a 25-year-old Hawaiian named McLovin! - to buy a metric crapload of liquor for the party.

As with Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, everything goes wrong. Fogel's separated from Evan and Seth when the liquor store is robbed, and the other two wind up at a soirée where, among other things, Seth winds up with a nasty liquid on his pants. Plus there are two ribald, hell-raising cops who smoke, drink, shoot their guns in the air - on duty. Aw, yeah. ""Can I shoot one?"" asks Fogel. ""I don't know,"" replies Officer Michaels, ""can you?"" On one level, this is pure raunch, with sex and cursing (and even some mild drug use). Lots of sex references that might squick you out if you're of a certain age and can't handle teens even thinking about fornication. (You probably haven't read this far, then, bailing when the ""f-word"" term was used earlier.) But even so, the profanity seems somehow natural, almost organic - this is how kids talk. Not all, surely, but some portion. It's not as if they're all being presented as child prodigies who harbor mean streaks, they're merely acting as typical teens might.

On another level, though, there is deep meaning in the relationship between Evan and Seth, two friends who have grown to be completely dependent on each other over the years, so much so that they're in denial about their future - Evan will be rooming with Fogel at Dartmouth, a fact he's kept from Seth. Seth is arrogant, loud, obnoxious, and not particularly bright or gallant, and Evan is his polar opposite in nearly everything. Neither one exudes machismo or toughness, although Seth puts up a good front. Their sweet, platonic relationship comes off as sincere to its very core. This is not a cheap dichotomy thrown together for laughs; you get the feeling Seth and Evan really care for each other and that each feels he'd be hopelessly lost without the other. It's a bittersweet feeling.

But that's all below the surface. Revel instead on the entertaining performances by the bombastic Hill and the reserved Cera - these guys act as if they've known each other all their lives, the chemistry's so good. Also no slouch is the inimitable Mintz-Plasse, who's a bit like DJ Qualls' character in Road Trip: geeky and yet appealing as all get out.",8
"I liked how tense this film was, and how it reminded us of the six people who escaped the U. S Embassy when it was stormed by Iranian revolutionaries, resulting in the hostage crisis that lasted over 14 months. Embellishing history (more on this later), Ben Affleck tells the story of how these six escaped by pretending to be part of a film project just a few months into the crisis. At the outset of the film, to his credit, he helps us understand where some of the anger towards America came from, notably, the U. S./U. K. instigated overthrow of democratically elected Mohammad Mosaddegh, the 26 years of rule under the corrupt Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, and the harboring of the Shah after he was overthrown.

Unfortunately, by the time the film ended, it felt like it had devolved relative to historical accuracy, playing up American exceptionalism and an Us vs. Them mentality, and it also devolved relative to storytelling, with the invented drama through the airport and many last-second close calls getting the full Hollywood treatment. It's really kind of a shame, because the real story is so compelling. The film significantly downplayed the role of American allies in this operation, most notably Canada, who deserve the lion's share of coming up with and executing the plan, not the CIA, and also Great Britain and New Zealand. It's also guilty of portraying a nearly monolithic view of Iranians as enraged terrorists, as time and again we see anger and hostility that isn't even subtitled, playing up on stereotypes.

I think the film tried to represent where the anger was coming from in the market scene, where a man tries to attack the Americans, telling them that the Shah had tortured his son, but a calmer scene here or elsewhere would have offered at least a little glimpse of humanism. One could argue, I suppose, that this is what it felt like to be trapped in Tehran during the tumult, and there was certainly a lot of vitriol directed against the ""Great Satan"" at this time. There is also a housekeeper who is shown to risk her own life to save others, but it's a very small role, and felt like a token. It's really too bad the film didn't offer some other Iranian perspective instead of the Hollywood roles, those played by John Goodman and Alan Arkin, which seemed like throwaways to me (though were in there for levity). It's also too bad the film didn't circle back more on some of the history mentioned in the introduction, instead of focusing everything on the patriotic homecoming, complete with flag waiving in the background.

As for the depiction of Americans, aside from overly heroic lead character, it's a mixed bag. We get the nauseating quote ""John Wayne in the ground 6 months and this is what is left of America,"" which while reflecting the growing feeling at this time that certainly led to the disastrous Reagan years, was also voiced by one of the ""good guys,"" and unironically. There's a scene showing Americans beating up an Iranian American in a crowd, though it's brief, and we get the feeling that it's an aberration, long forgotten by the end. I did like how the film acknowledged Jimmy Carter, whose handling of this crisis and overall Presidency have long been underrated. I also liked the film's attempts to get the look of the people right, and the side by side photos of movie vs. Reality in the credit roll.

I liked Argo for its drama and entertainment value, and how it provided a springboard to read up on history. I think it made some attempts at being balanced, but they were pretty weak, and it fell into cliches in trying to appeal to the mass market. Commercially it was thus a big success, but artistically it falls short, and it's hard to fathom how it won so many Oscars.",7
"So.. I loved this. Just so dreamy and full of insight on life and death. Is what I would say if I was a 14 year old girl with a crush. spoiler alert. CHICK FLICK... of the worst sort. Girls and women, You watch this movie and love it. You will love it. Guys you will watch it because they want to watch it. Your flesh will crawl, and the logic parts of your brain will liquify with emotion.

I am going to have to go watch All of Archer to reset my brain now. But that's just me.

On the plus side. Its very well acted, good character development, Some real touching and funny moments. The script is a bit blah, but no ware near most of the Hollywood tripe so it can be enjoyed.

The cigarette thing is irritating as hell, metaphor or no.",4
"So I read a lot of complaints about the movie being slow and missing tension and violence. Why? Because of the title? Do the viewers nowadays pick their movies just on title and trailer?

The title is perfect: This movie is all about violence. Every single moment in this film is a consequence of- or triggered by violence. Even all the news broadcasts on the radio are about violence. Abel's business is, as he says ""in a rough patch"". There are good years and bad years and this one is a particularly bad one. The fact that the movie doesn't feature a lot of violence makes it an even better one as the threat of it is constantly palpable.

As for the tension: my god, what tension did I feel. I won't describe moments, but one particular chase sequence had me biting my nails, and I haven't done that in a very long time. There is constant tension in almost every scene and almost unbearable tension in some. And of course throughout the whole film you keep asking yourself; is he that honest, will he yield, or will he even snap. Oscar Isaac's role as Abel is written and played out so well I can understand the comparisons to Pacino's Michael Corleone in the Godfather. Hell you could even mention the two films in one breath. It has a great classic feel to it, though this is much smaller and more intimate.

A modern classic like: ""We own the night"" by James Gray or the recent ""The Drop"" by Michael R. Roskam. Beautiful slow burning masterpieces. This film will stay with me for quite a while. I'll put it away, wait for a rainy day somewhere in winter and experience it all over again. 8/10",8
This song is now stuck in my head forever. And I'm not mad about it. Cannot wait for Season 2!,7
"I doubt that the writers of this film ever bothered to read Upton Sinclair's book. Who's got time to read in Hollywood? If they had they would have seen a social commentary, a chronicle of the times, some incredible Americana but what we get here is drivel. This film seems to have been scrubbed of all reference to greed, the struggle of working people to unionize in America, the complicity of law enforcement with the rich. What an incredibly disappointing film. So much effort and talent, time and money wasted. The team that made this movie had an opportunity to do much much more.

""Oil!"" is full of amazing scenes and characters and while it drifts like the film, at least it has something to say about life. 2008. What a perfect time to learn about oil. As we fill our gas tanks we might be thinking about how hard it was to develop this resource; to find it, release it, and tame it for our benefit. But that would be an industrial film. Of course that is also history, a theme Hollywood has a reputation for playing fast and loose with. Too bad we couldn't have gotten a story about a man with ambition who succeeds. What's wrong with that? Contrasted by his son who observes life and doesn't do much with those observations or his money (except enjoy himself). There are women characters in the book too (not like the film). The book has nudity, and lots of sex (not like the film). The book has some violence but probably not enough for audiences today, so I suppose that didn't sit well with the ""suits"" at the studio. Can't sell a film these days without killing of some sort can we? So let's get some fights going, and homicide might be helpful. This whole bum-numbing 2 hour mess was probably edited by teams who worked at different paces. But that's no excuse for such inconsistency. We get panoramic shots that never want to end and are boring as hell. It's like the team who shot the B-roll got to edit it!! We get Lewis erupting with no real motivation. What's he so worked up about? He doesn't seem to have any competition, at least not that I can see in this film.

The book has elements of real people like J. Paul Getty, Howard Hughes, William Randolph Hearst, Marion Davies, and Billy Graham. These are people who helped define America (with the exception of Davies). But I guess these figures have been largely forgotten or removed from the record by some sort revisionist new-think ministry that is subtly altering America these days. I can't see any future life for this movie.",2
"The dog Brandy and the 60's cars gets two of my stars.The rest was boring , a lot of unnecessary scenes and indifferent caracters. The plot was messy and that movie shouldn't have lasted 2.5 hours. Even Al Pacino couldn't save this one.",2
"What a shame ! better u made it as a cartoon !! even watch cartoon never ever be so bored than watching this .. this movie is a disgrace .. u really out of business .. just quit, don't let everyone disappointed on u again ..",2
"What in this Universe made this bloody and violent creation earn 11 Oscar nominations is beyond me.

Maybe the creative variety of violent tricks and methods of destroying and maiming human bodies appealed to many viewers, and yet I found non-stop creative bloody violence on the screen exhausting.

It is surprising how unconvincing and simple the idea behind the many minutes of loud senseless fighting turns out to be.

I haven't remembered leaving the movie theatre feeling disgusted and nauseous ever until today.

I gave the movie two stars though I feel the actors deserve much better ratings than the movie itself.",2
The movie started off really nice..and the end was kind of let off.. Good performance by all actors.,5
"Most of the characters from this show are twisted.

I tried to keep watching this more than a few times. then I finally disrespect the writers, director, some of the actors, even Neflix",1
"Ugh...here we go again. I felt like I was being accosted by the overeager theme, all the while hoping for some romantic subtlety.

As long as you don't indulge yourself in the expectation of any surprises in the plot or intricacy in the theme, it is entertaining. There is no small amount of effort trying to make a film of quality here, but being better than 80% is still pretty mediocre. The visuals are stunning. I also want to give full credit to whoever was in charge of casting. The ensemble and execution were very appealing and that alone is worth the watch. I know it is a rehash character, but I just can't look away from Octavia Spencer (Elisa's friend Zelda) and found myself looking forward to her lines. I am a sucker for Richard Jenkins in just about anything, but particularly when he wears his weakness like a crown. There is a certain frailness he is able to channel at will that is magnificent. You can easily picture his character (in scenes never filmed) alone in a room at night muttering ""How did I ever end up like this?""

Also, the convenient setting of 1962 does not excuse the tired caricature of straight white men. My gas tank is running low on collective guilt for the horrors of suburbia, and I wonder who is left to convince on this one? Aren't we all now singing a harmonious rendition of the hit song, ""Men (mostly white & straight) are Deplorable and Care Nothing for Love""? I'll check my white privilege as I am sure that even calling out this ridiculous stereotype is going to have me called a racist by someone.

I will concede that this film will be absolutely adored by a segment of the viewers, even the ridiculous dance scene. Go ahead and watch it on the slim chance that you may be one of those people. It really wasn't that far off, but in the end, it will fade away like so many other best picture winners that lack any sort of timeless quality.",4
"I really don't understand the high ranking. The opening scene was pretty cool (if not a little bit confusing), and the last 15 minutes were interesting (if not equally confusing). There is a phenomenon in psychology about people making judgments about whole situations based solely on the beginnings and ends, so maybe that's why it gets a high ranking.

Poor script Poor editing Poor action sequences Poor acting (partially due to poor dialogue)

Most scenes were flat. When they wanted to raise the stakes and make the action rise, they just said whatever needed to be said to make it so. There was too much telling of the story, and not enough letting the story unfold. There was way too much talking. A movie is a story about pictures, and most of the time the characters stood around talking. Usually they were repeating things we already had been told in the film. You shouldn't have to mention something 4 times in a movie. Usually once is enough. (E.g. Catwoman needs the 'clean slate', Bain's mythology, etc. etc.) When action occurred, it seemed forced. Many times the action was delayed. Meaning, the next scene was set up for action, but then we had 2 or 3 more scenes that were pretty useless, usually repeating things we already knew, until we finally got to the action.

The characterizations were weird and inconsistent. The way it was written it was just about impossible to like any character in the movie. It's like they purposely set out to make everyone a dick. If that was their goal, they succeeded. I personally just wanted everyone to die already and end this film. Are the Nolan brothers each married and going through a divorce? Just a lot of angry dickish characters. Bain actually might have been the least dickish and most likable in the end. Haha.

At one point, Batman tells Catwoman, ""Hey, these aren't average criminals blah blah blah."" Yes, that's fine, but then an hour later in the movie, Catwoman (referring to the same criminals) warns Batman ""Hey, these aren't your average criminals."" What the fuzz? There were many similar instances of this, of things not adding up/making sense. Lots of gaps in logic. And lots of repetition of plot points. Hence the reason I blame the editing.

Honestly, as I watched it, I was seriously doubting that the Nolan brothers made this film. I know they did, but this movie was just OFF. I'm convinced there is something to this. The Nolan brothers cannot be pleased with this final effort.

Go see it to see it, but you'd be better off re-watching The Dark Knight.",5
"As visually stunning as this film is, the story lacks depth, emotion, and at times is plain stupid, for the story I would give 3, cinematics 9, so a 5 from me. I wouldn't watch it again, a very forgettable film, the first 50min was ok, the rest..... not so good.",5
"Extremely funny movie, and i love the caracters! Spot on",10
"This once brilliant comedy has experienced a precipitous decline across the board: scripts, acting, direction. What was once fresh and hilarious about its wink-wink knowingness, has become predictable and crude. A show like ""Parks and Recreation"" remained fresh and funny for its entire run; this one, sad to say, has not. The actors SCREAM their lines, even when confiding to the camera. Sublety has gone out the window. Time to shut up the shop.....",5
"Worth watching overall. The story is not bad, not the best either, not all characters are likable, very slow start and the twists are random but works somehow. if not for the impressive use of music and the fairly unique dispensing way of the story i would've gave it a 4.",7
"Only one thing..... Don't waste ur money on Bollywood.....U may thing in some movies they r taking self made actors....bt the real thing is that they r taking them so that the mafias can earn something in the name of these actors.......

So don't waste UR money.....",1
"The best part of a marvel movie is that they always save it for the end. And when it comes to AVENGERS they make sure that you remain bound to your seats. If you really think you know the story after watching the trailer, my friend you need to learn to stop judging a book by its cover. Once you come to believing that the movie is about to end, from there starts the actual part, and the entire movie takes a turn. But you need to wait till the end. The first half seems to be wasted. Also they should have kept a few things for a surprise. It would have added more beauty to the movie. I have now started finding better movies through www.flickstree.com. It not only suggests great movies to watch, it also tells where you can watch the movie online.. Highly recommended.",8
"It's all about the actor. Which is not necessarily my favourite, but does have charisma and his personal brand/cult. They glued him to the already famous Sherlock character, dragged the story into the 21st century, and that is about it. The pace is very slow, the famous sherlockian attentiveness to detail is faulty and late, it lacks witty-ness and it has that blue-cold-aloof vibe, as if all takes place in a horrible future where people lack feelings and joy and all live in a dry world, mostly under dim neon lights. Tried to watch it on TV, tried once more later with a friend - nothing.",4
Season 3 was a complete letdown. The show has some interesting moments but dragged a lot despite all the action. They really should have done more to build on the robots.,6
"I really enjoyed it. Some things bothered me as highly improbable or illogical, and one thing annoyed the heck out of me: the constant babysitting of Kim by CTU. Where is Kim? Have you heard from Kim? Call Kim? Have them call Kim. Find out where Kim is. Geez! I would have preferred a different thread instead of Kim and her shenanigans.",8
"Very Disappointed by the End of this Series and am amazed they are going to try to stretch this out into another Season. One Season was enough and instead of trying to milk this for all it's worth, could have ended on a High Note.

It was an interesting collection of people and for 10 thirty minute episodes, it was fine. It certainly was not something worth repeating or seeing again. The writing was not very good and the cast has really worn out its welcome. Season Two will probably be a ratings disaster (even for Hulu).",6
"I get that it's YA fiction, and so not aimed at people like me. On the positive side, MBB was terrific and the production sumptuous. However the script was pretty awful and often beggared belief.

I'm not sure why the story had to be set in the world of Sherlock Holmes at all, instead of a standalone story of a strong female character during the Victorian era. It's as if the writers had to borrow credibility from those well-established male characters, which kinda undermines the whole notion of emancipation.",4
"To start of, I'm an Indonesian but settling in Mumbai. I've been admiring SRK since the first time I watched Indian movies, so I know all his movies. But Fan, is way too different! Shah Rukh did it again by proving the world that he does natural acting. How he acts as Gaurav, a normal boy from Delhi (a bit crazy) and how he acts as a superstar with some ego is just marvelous (speechless). For the entire movie, I believed that Gaurav was someone else, I didn't even think that it was SRK with a different face. How he turns my emotion upside down is amazing, and not to mention with that age he has such energy. I haven't seen such actors with that ability. The people who give low rates for this movie are either haters or have no clue what to do in their life.

So if you really admire acting, Fan is way too worthy!!! So watch it!",10
"Where to start, this thing is just awful. Sandler is the most obnoxious human being throughout. They threw in some NBA players for the bling affect and it only made it a harder turd to push through. I want the 2 years of my life back!",4
"I am fan of many shows on Comedy Central: The Daily Shoe, Colbert Report and South Park. I am willing to try any new shows and was excited too see Key and Peele from the commercials showing him impersonating Obama. I saw the first episode where he wanted to call his wife a B%*#$ and wow it was not funny...at all! I am not offended by the type of jokes but it was plain and simple not funny. They just dragged out the joke so long and it just made it look so stupid. I gave it another shot and watched the episode where he got shot in the d*&^ and again it was not funny. It could of been a funny topic but somehow Key and Peele managed to mess it up. The show is basically taking a long overused plot and putting a joke in the end which isn't even funny.

Comedy Central shows some great shows, but sadly I have to change the channel whenever this shows comes on. Not funny at all!",1
"This show mixes Star Wars, Spirits, and Game of Thrones. Avatar proves that heroes come in many shapes and sizes. It battles the concepts of love, loss, fear, good, evil, and hope. This is a children show, however, it is for everyone. There are deep meanings snd themes that s child would not understand. Watching it as an adult versus a child is s completely different experience and are both tremendously emotional experiences. Aang is the hero we dont deserve not even as a viewer. 10/10 highly recommend.",10
"This film is a huge let down. Gal Gadot has ruined what Lynda Carter excelled at. Wonder Woman was never about glorified, unnecessary violence. She was a voice of reason, compassion and restrained strength. Gal is none of these. She is no hero and she's an appalling role model. Ignoring physical strength, she's not strong, she's not logical in her reasoning and her feats set fans up for a huge downfall with an unrealistic ""hero"" (to quote the press).

This movie is filled with violence and most of it is unnecessary. Yes, we get it, girl power, right? The idea is that more violence is supposedly better, or something along those lines. This movie is another bore fest along the same lines as most of the marvel movies. There is nothing intelligent, fresh or clever (except the violence is even more over the top than any other comic conversion movie).

The story from beginning to end is illogical and almost incoherent. A group of hyper warrior females who don't do anything constructive (eg. farming) aggressively battle each other day and night. It's not clear why they do this because when the going gets tough, they refuse to fight, except with a group of German soldiers who they attack before they even know they are enemies. These types of illogical double standards continue throughout the entire movie. Violence is really awesome when it suits the story, but it's occasionally abhorred when it's an elderly grandmother. As a largely peaceful person, I found the logic of violence worship very disturbing (despite the media frenzy about needing extreme violence to represent ""female heroes"").

There is not a single actor whose performance I enjoyed. Gal was a huge let down. Flipping between empathy and aggression indiscriminately. Chris Pine played the fragile ""handsome"" man who was too busy hero worshipping a false god. Across the entire cast, I can't think of a single memorable performance.

If you get your rocks off on meaningless gratuitous violence (and bucket loads of it), you'll love this movie. If you don't care about meaningful characters or a coherent plot, even better. Everyone else - save your money. This is the worst movie i've seen this year. If this is what society deems the new breed of ""hero"", then it's a very sad indictment indeed.",3
"""Batman Begins"",praised and paraded by the critics BUT if nothing else this movie proves as a fine example of just how wrong they can be. Although the movie was original and interesting in places it generally gave the feeling of never really beginning,as if something was just about to happen......but it never did.(ha ha,rather ironic as I look to the title now). Christian Bale was well cast as the moody beginner in the batman suit but the general atmosphere of the movie was a disappointment and ruined a potentially interesting character.Michael Caine was the only light relief from the depressingly moody and overly dramatic sequences with other characters. That girl from Dawsons Creek (insert name here) was positively cringe worthy trying to play a character who is strong and deep,when really all the audience can concentrate on is her misshapen teeth,scarily thin waist and stomach churning squeaky voice. The movie poorly endeavours to give a more realistic feel to the franchise yet still indulges in many fantastical moments,and I feel the two aspects don't gel well. Unlike Burtons triumphs with his Gothic style but believable back stories,this movie tells us too much but provides little in the way of action,humour or visual fun. Furthermore the ""Villain"" who proved as a camp,menacing monster in Burtons movies,with fine examples such as the Joker and Catwoman,""Batman Begins"" excuses consists of a camp busy-body who occasionally dons a filthy mask,wails for a while,and calls himself the scarecrow from time to time,who is then defeated quicker than a foot to a cockroach,he is poorly seconded by an ageing warrior type figure who is about as menacing,frightening or indeed interesting as a fat ginger cat. The only promising aspects of the movie,were the simple style costume which was a welcome return from the suit with nipples which made us all cringe in batman and robin,the heart warming and believable relationship with Bruce and Alfred,and indeed Bale himself.But to all those of you who were left laughed out and awestruck by Burtons dark camptastic masterpieces this movie will certainly disappointed,and now I shall finish on that very note,shamelessly screaming and howling at the top of my voice BRING BACK BURTON!!!",5
Its like they randomly shot various action scenes and then decided at some point they would make a movie out of it,1
"Francis Ford Coppola directs the sequel of ""The Godfather"" the ""The Godfather: Part II"". ""The Godfather: Part II"" is a movie that show us the history of Corleone family and also show us how Vito Corleone attempts to expand the family business into Las Vegas, Hollywood and Cuba.

In this movie you will see an another perfect performance by Al Pacino as Michael Corleone (nominated for Oscar as Best Actor in a Leading Role) and Robert De Niro as Vito Corleone (won the Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role). An another good performance made by Robert Duvall as Tom Hagen.

""The Godfather: Part II"" is a really good movie but is a little lower than the first movie that explains my title ""Touching perfection..."", but it continues to be the best sequel of all times.",9
Addicting and interesting storyline that had me hooked from the opening moments. The only drawbacks for me were the terrible wigs and a lead actress who looked like she was acting in a horror film.,8
"... it seems you don't get it!

I really feel sorry for all the great actors involved in this film. They did their best, but the script, the direction and the concept of the film (if there was one) screwed them up.

Doctor Strange is one of my favorite characters, and it pains me deeply how ridiculous and embarrassing this film has become.

I will now try to forget about it, and hopefully it didn't do any lasting damage to the MCU...",3
"From the unique props and outfits to the music and atmosphere, everything about this series is just down right fantastic, the cinematography really captures the actors expressions and mood of every situation!

The music is so compelling and at a lot of times, really adds and elevates the tension in the scene, adding more and more to the mystery, fantastic show

Main struggle is trying not to finish every season in just a week!",9
"Middle-aged actors are trapped in puerile superhero action, in which the so-called aliens are about as unalien as anything can be in movies: a bullied loser suddenly finds himself in a position of superiority, gets a massive mental boner and celebrates with deep-voiced one-liners written and performed in the previous millennium. Rarely has a conventional Hollywood hack job been more copy paste. And rarely has modern CGI looked less inspired and impressive. The film's most boring parts are remarkably not those that are most marred by the aforementioned characterisation, but rather the pre-programmed action-sequences. And the director is just as much out of his depth with the actors as he is with the action. Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams and Riz Ahmed are equally unimpressive.",4
"First of all I want to check the action scenes. OK I checked them. Looks like the show couldn't realy do it's job at what it was created for. But you can steal find it interesting .Yes. You may fall asleep at some talking scenes but still not a bad show. Trust me I've seen worse so I know the show isn't one of them. The writing had many problems too. But i realy want to appreciate the director for atleast making the writing less bad. Acting was nothng special wasn't bad either. So to wrap things up ""IF YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME ON YOUR HAND,WATCH IT""",4
"After each episode in Season 1, I was like that was fine I guess I'll keep watching, but by the end of Season 3, I was hungry for more.

I'm not really into superhero movies and shows, so the only reason I check any of them out is if they promise to be different from all the standard cookie-cutter MCU movies.

The Boys promised something different, something that subverted all the tired tropes. And Season 1 delivered that. It was as advertised.

But just subverting superhero tropes is not enough to keep me engaged. Anticipating something to be different and then seeing that it is different is almost like getting just what you expected, and where is the fun in that? So like I said, I was barely hanging on through Season 1, but the season finale left off in a rather interesting place, so I figured I'd check out Season 2. And here's where things start to get good.

Season 1 spends its time subverting all the superhero tropes and giving you some good laughs and shock from them, while subtly touching on some larger issues. But then Season 2 delves deeper into the stark reality and consequences of those Season 1 issues, so that what first seems like just taking the piss out of superhero tropes, soon becomes something way more complex and layered than merely poking fun at superheroes.

Through Season 2 and 3 the underlying themes take center stage as the story shines a light on something far more terrifying and seemingly more inescapable than evil superheroes. And this is the heart of the show - the reason why it's a must watch. Not because it's a show about superheroes, but because it isn't a show about superheroes at all. It's a show about something else entirely. A very real danger that threatens all of us. A threat that hopefully will be dealt with very soon...",9
"I really preferred National Geographic's ""Breakout"", episode ""Freedom Fighter Escape"" over this. As a South African myself, i agree with other reviews on accents of actors. The natgeo's documentary had far much better acting & edge of the seat moments than the movie.",6
"This wasted two hours of my life that I will never get back... will not dwell on my views on the film so I don't waste more time. This movie doesn't even step up to a No Plot Good Action movie criteria.. just a puzzle of swift scenes that spouls your enjoyment.. I still like Ryan Reynolds and M. Bay despite of this mistake they made by hurting my eyes and ears with the scenes and noise in the movie..

The only truth is that it is Under the ground of movie making!!",2
Why would spielberg wastes his money on this project? should have titled this as VR: oooooo ahhhh . the movie boosts gaming characters on screen (licensing fees must be expensive!) but the storyline was more suited for the cartoon network channel.,5
"We love this show! It is intelligent, funny, and full of surprises. The writing and acting have us continually coming back for more. We are big Bulldogge fans and love seeing the adorable dog! The combination of Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez is brilliant. The amount of incredible actors in the supporting cast enriches the constant twists and turns. Everyone is complicated and complex, this show does a great job of showing people in their best and worst moments and all of the in-between. Every episode is another reason to stay up way too late and keep watching. Once it gets to the end of the season, it's depressing while waiting for the next.",10
"If I am talking about the action sequence of the movie it's ok. But storyline of the movie is very weak and extremely poor.

Everything look like Kolkata but Telling It's Dhaka... The Accent, Actor, Location set, and Police Uniform definitely it's not Dhaka,,,it Kolkata bro...

All Bengali actors from Kolkata, they are not from Dhaka Bangladesh. They failed to bring Dhakaia.

Everything Kolkata...not Dhaka... how funny isn't it?",1
"But he desperately wishes to be 56 years old. You probably would also like to know that if there was a poster boy for all things hipster in the world it would be the Director himself. If you're confused by this film, just google image him; You'd understand everything.",5
"Good things first: The actors are beautiful and talented. The cast give fantastic performances with the exception of the guy who plays the main baddy who does a so-so job.

The CGI is obnoxiously overused, but it looks pretty cool. Similarly the design of the aircraft and the underground part of the city looked super cool.

The bad: Very little in this movie makes sense. The plot is stupid and so many important details were overlooked. For example, why do the super-advanced people fight exclusively with melee weapons? Also, why do they have super advanced weapons and fighter/bomber planes and why do the average citizenry seem to know military tactics (they form a phalanx during the final fight) if they've never been in a single war ever and have only ever hidden from the world????

Why does Black Panther simply have a special suit and magic metal claws? This is supposed to be part of the Marvel universe so Ironman and the Hulk exist in this. What could this guy contribute? He could contribute super advanced and nearly indestructible weaponry (guns/drones/satellites) based on the magic metal. Instead, he's just a tribal cliche in a catsuit... meow.

Moreover, there were some REALLY good concepts that were brought up, but never fully examined. For example there were ideas of family, heritage, identity, geopolitics, race and more that were never really examined. Even the main baddy's motivation could have made for a really great story with a REALLY dark twist at the end, but, instead we got the Disney rated G ending which didn't even make any sense.",3
"Not a bad movie, but nothing special. The effects where cool but could have been an hour shorter. The story was kinda boring and nothing I haven't seen before (most of it in the first Avatar). Can't agree with all the praise I've heard.

The bad guy is the same as the old one, even though he died in the first movie. I hate when they do that it gives any of the following deaths less meaning because you never know if it sticks.

Can't believe they made us wait soo many years for a sequel. Feels like they spend all these years on the effects and none of the time on the script and the story. They just recycled the old one.",3
"Greetings from Lithuania.

""Iron Man"" 2 (2010) had a lot to live up to its great first part. It everything to be a great sequel, same director, more money and freedom, fresh and hot from his Oscar nomination performance Mickey Rourke but at the this movie failed. The reason is pretty all over the place writing of the story. I mean the story itself was OK, but not its writing. The pacing also suffered as they tried to show to many things at the same time.

Overall, Iron Man 2 is the worst from its trilogy. It lacked everything that first movie had. Its not a bad movie, but its a very poor sequel considering its great original.",6
Cheap minded director can't make a film without mocking Hindus And their Devta. These days it's a common practice of making fun of Hindu Faith for cheap publicity.,1
"It started out with the potential for being a good series. The acting and accents weren't the best but I was willing to suffer through because the visuals were amazing and the story seemed intriguing. With every passing episode the story seemed to get more boring and more predictable. By the end it was unrecognisable.

I'm sure some people will enjoy it. If you're into a slow plot and cheap soap-opera scripting go for it.",3
"Remember when Frank Castle was first introduced in Daredevil Season 2? He was the embodiment of the Grim Reaper... Angry, Violent, Visceral, and Exceedingly brutal. He came in like a freight train and plowed through the streets of Manhattan leaving an orgy blood, guts, and gore. He made evil, psychopathic men get down on their knees and beg for mercy while he put a bullet through their brain.

To comic book fans that's who the Punisher is. I'm not a comic reader myself, but I've heard enough about the character to know that he is THE definition of an Anti-Hero. Maybe even an Anti-Hero who's pushing the boundaries of a Tragic-Villain, but no matter what, you still root for the guy. Because everyone has that moment where you think, if I went through what he did, and I found the people who destroyed my life.. maybe I'd do the same, or at least want the same.

Well, that Frank Castle is gone in ""The Punisher"". I guess we can't really do the ultra angry, ultra violent Castle for all 13 episodes, but I found him to be way to watered down. They tried to make him more humanized. More sympathetic. Heck, he's even friendlier. Oddly enough though, that actually made the character slightly less interesting to me. TV is full of characters like that. Once in a rare while we get show runners with enough balls to write a main character like Walter White or Tony Soprano, who are capable of committing truly heinous act and really makes us question ""Are we still rooting for the guy?""

They made a decent show that felt fairly procedural, with the standard government agencies and the main characters playing cat and mouse. There are also plenty of wonderfully choreographed shootouts and melee take downs, but none come close to the infamous ""Prison Fight"" or the ""Diner Scene"" from Daredevil.

Jon Berthal is great as always with plenty of Bro-Charisma, but I couldn't help but miss the old Frank Castle, the dehumanized Angel of Death version that we were introduced to. I guess it would be hard to create an entire ""Superhero"" show with someone like that but... heck why the hell not?",8
"This movie suffers from not really knowing what it wants to be about. I could never tell if it was about family/tribe dynamics, the first domesticated dog, or or the struggles of being a teenager 20,000 years ago. And as a result you have a movie that doesn't feel like it ever gets going. I read that this was completed last year and initially supposed to be released Summer 2017. I'd imagine it wasn't because at the end of filming they really struggled to figure it how to make it work. The boy's relationship with the dog was the only worthwhile part. But I'm truth I never really cared what was going to happen to him.",2
"This show is really great. It got my attention right away and I couldn't stop watching it, I finished the season in one day and cannot wait for the Duffer brothers to come up with season 2.

The kids are really good actors and they sure do keep you gripped to the show.

It's based in the 80s and was influenced by Steven Spielberg and Stephen King which I realized after watching a few episodes before I read it online. It has great soundtracks and really good cinematography shots.

It's really cool how this Netflix series has gotten so much attention and great reviews. If you have not started watching, you definitely should get to it asap.",9
"Creative freedom in cinema should be limited. And this three-hour pseudo-scientific film-space opera is a clear example of this. Nolan felt like a man over whom no one stands and that his permissiveness could create a new milestone in the genre of science fiction. Unfortunately, the latter did not happen, but rather the opposite. A feature of almost all of Christopher's films was the complication of simple things. He has really strong films like ""Insomnia"" or ""Remember""",5
"Season 3 stinks. There are many reasons many reasons for this, but primarily the following: The coming of age story is unavoidable, but it often looks like ""Stand By Me"" meets ""Ghostbusters"" and the teen angst wears pretty thin. If you ever saw the ""Goosebumps"" series, this will seem like an R rated flashback. Those pesky kids are at it again.... they just need Scooby Doo and the Mystery Machine van. Apparently screaming your lines is an indicator of serious acting because there is a lot of that, and these are serious actors aren't they? I could barely tolerate the slime monster or un-killable super human hosts. Possibly they could barely tolerate it themselves and we're glad to dissolve into goo. A disappointment after a good first season and a less good second season. I wish I had more than two thumbs down to give it.",1
"The first season was very good and promising. The magic begin to disappear in the second season, but in the third one it is completely gone.

Lots of names, lots of lame jokes, a lot of talking but no action and fun at all.

I am watching and i will just because of curiosity. Will it come to a good end or we are just going to have another ""Lost"" series incident. They start good, lost their momentum on the way, and end up with that very disappointing last season. I understand they just create these series to earn money, but they better know where to stop.

Nevertheless, I think they better put an end to Witcher series or wait a little longer to come up with more concrete scenario.",6

"Beside the fact that it made me want to rush to see a ballet as soon as possible there's no elegant way to say that I'm a coward when it comes to violence, any kind, physical or psychological, you name it. The Red Sparrow is a beautiful, but, a soul crushing experience.

One has to work hard in order to find ease or even a little bit of light in this story. It lures the spectator down on a path to the underworld, the one of the strong and the powerful, a world that is accessible only to a few, this few is shown to us by a considerate range o characters, leading to the inevitable conclusion that human nature is capable of being unique in every individual under the most impossible of circumstances even.

It was close to a meditative experience, though a dark and scary one, the one you have when you finally decide to face your fears and accept that all is possible.

The plot is gripping, anything one can expect when it comes to the level of power this movie depicts.

Every good piece of art has to have something to do with romance, well, here I found a kind of ""in your face"", primal, raw and tempting kind of it.

Not for the faint at heart that's for sure, however, good cinema is like good food, it's important the way one plates it up. Here ""The Chef"" did a fantastic job, finding the perfect combination of visuals, sound, acting that make the Red Sparrow an unforgettable cinematic experience.",10
"Imma huge fan of the conjuring series but this is the absolute worst movie in the series of entry of movies so far. The first annabelle was trash, with minimal scares and a weal plot. The second 1 was super good which real good chracters and scares but this 1 is so bad. The story is weak with jumpscares only coming at the end. 40 minutes into the movie, nothing is happening and in the last 30 minutes the story writer just cramped the highest amount of jumpscares they could add. these werent even scary at all. Idk how this got an R rating becuase there as nothing. as per violence there was 1 seen where there was blood for like a second. Nothing else. they need to stop making these annabelle movies ecause now its just a stretch. The story is simple, 3 kids are in the lorraine house (2 babaystisters and lorraines daughter), the annabelle doll wreaks havoc. Not scary and rather boring. The first hour is a complete waste of time, with bare character development. and the last 30 minutes with all the scares are just unoriginal. All the jumpscraes are a charcter moving across the halls, the camera panning away from them and the monster coming from behind. gets boring after a while. just horrible.",2
"It made us smile, took our souls to a journey which one never leans toward. The cast was superb and the twists were not perfect bt yet someone made u smile and cry at the same moment.

These demands of mine displays the need for more finesse . It was not a breeze , it was a gust of air which was lacking from a long tenure.

"Season one, largely based on the content of the books, was quite good.

Season two is already a mess introduced by the departure from the original.

Season three... what is it at all? Trivial, naive, pretentious, stiff, predictable, infantile, incoherent and very often just plain stupid. Poor actors, they had to utter these pathetic lines written by a ten-year-old. No wonder Henry Cavill gave up on this creation.

Some fable of monsters and freaks, far from the intriguing story described in the books. But instead painfully politically correct.

A ""masterpiece"" comparable to the last season of Game of Thrones.

Impossible to watch.",2
"Look, i love almost everything marvel puts out, however «What if» didn't sit with me like other projects did.

From the variation in the animation quality, to different voice actors. If it wasn't for the huge Marvel logo on the poster, this show could pass for something completely different.

Some episodes are great! Like the Dr. Strange one or the second to last. But episodes like «Party Thor» and the «Zombies» episode are just dragging on and on.

I really hope they step up for the 2nd season, because there are great moments and episodes in this show, it's just that it varies to much to be a continuous good experience.",5
"Peter (Jason Segel) is a composer and a likable guy who's devastated when his girlfriend of five years, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), the star of a TV show dumps him. To breaks his depression he flies to Hawaii, but Sarah and her new beau, Aldous Snow, a promiscuous perverse English rocker (A scene stealing Russell Brand) are staying at the same resort too.

This movie was my introduction to Jason Segel having never seen an episode of his TV show 'How I Met Your Mother' and now revisiting it years later, (having seen every episode of the show) I can still see why I liked his performance here even more.

Every actor here does a fine job, from the Impossibly gorgeous Mila Kunis, Paul Rudd to Kristen Bell and Jonah Hill. But it is Brand who steals the movie, he is simply hilarious. It is no wonder Aldos Snow got his own spin off movie 'Get Him To The Greek'",8
i first saw fargo as a class assignment. the composition of each shot was beautifully arranged. every frame was appealing to the eye. each character was carefully developed without boring the audience. the score captured every moment with exactness. brillant. you'd think i was married to one of the coen brothers.,10
"I loved the original Lost in Space, and I enjoyed 2 seasons with the new series. However, the third season is a dud. The storyline is predictable and the writing is second-rate, at best. As a result, the acting was terrible.",7
"I just finished watch Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. I had read all the spoilers, and criticisms ahead of the movie, and I have to say, the negative points were spot on. Too many pointless scenes (the scene where he talks to the child actress could have been edited out without losing her effectiveness in a later scene); all of the driving around should have been trimmed, it felt like filler. The movie had very little or no focus. It kept doing different things, including silly little flashbacks and vignettes a la Family Guy, in an attempt to be humorous, but came across as flat and kept disrupting the momentum of the plot, which was barely there. I get the sense that Tarantino came up with the ending first, then had to fight to come up with a half decent story to fill in the first part of his idea. Because this felt like two different movies edited together, the first part the overly long, boring one. And then the last part set 6 months later where the Manson family is portrayed as a bunch of buffoons, instead of the evil doers they really were. And speaking of Manson, he only had one scene, and it actually made him seem very friendly. Then we never see him again. He's referred to by his first name every so often, but you never get the sense that he was in charge. Even at the end, the kids come up with their own ideas and plan, instead of the original. So, what was the point of that? And the ending just trivializes the tragedy of what really happened by turning into a comical piece of entertainment. Anyone who didn't know the actual details of the crime will be in for a shock when they read about it. This movie would have been heavily criticized and panned had another director made it. But because it's Tarantino, people give it a pass. Ultimately, this will stand as one of Tarantino's weakest films. He's had three in a row now, and I fear for the Star Trek franchise with him at the helm of the next movie. Once Upon A Time...Tarantino used to make good movies....",2
It is probably just me since movies like The Matrix bore me to tears but I literally could barely stay awake during this nonsense. I am quickly coming to the conclusion that the Leonardo Di Caprio school of acting involves simply glowering and clenching his jaw during every scene. If you loved The Matrix you will probably like this but if you found The Matrix to be as boring as I did then you may want to avoid losing two hours of your life on this. Some of the computer graphics were compelling but this is strictly The Matrix from a different perspective and just as uninteresting. Go rent Fargo or some other decent movie and avoid wasting your time on this nonsense!,1
"In a world captivated by the ordinary, American Fiction stands out as art marked by its originality. It would be a travesty - or at least tragic - to characterize it as a simple metanarrative. The truth is this: Cord Jefferson and Percival Everett went for the killshot to our prevailing intellectual tradition. Indeed, the bullet made contact and proved that contrarianism isn't what's dead. In fact, the film shares more in common with string theory than postmodernism in how it aims to tie the self to the collective. The artists' combined efforts are mesmerizing, but they should not be a distraction from the art. The duo offers us all a masterclass in storytelling - effectively weaving together, with delicacy, a countless number of narrative lines that deeply resonate with our popular discourse. Perhaps the most evident theme is the critique of white fragility, which had crowds in my theater - a mostly white group - rolling over in their seats. Yet, Jefferson, with the help of Everett's Erasure, managed to balance narrative lines against one another and do so poignantly as they teetered between their critiques of contemporary whiteness with problematizing arrows aimed at the belly of the Academy's characterization of black identity. Who would've thunk it? Could we have been missing something all these years as we zoomed in on the expressions of individual cultural actors in our society? Dare I suggest that there seems to be a hidden meaning in the art? For me, the film accentuated the balancing act - or perhaps it's more of a dance - that we all do as we navigate a social theater where individual identities dance among a collective identity. To zoom out on what it could mean for all of us: clearly, this is an area in which US filmmakers, in particular, and American creators, more generally, can assert new leadership on the world stage. Whether you are a writer or a filmmaker, an academic or a doctor - we each breathe the rarefied air of our melting pot - and do as we live between the Pacific and Atlantic. Perhaps in the age to come, we will all embrace what separates us from East and West as we each dance with our brother's keeper, irrespective of where they are from or the color of their skin.

Score: (93/100)",9
"The action and filming tactics are awesome. But the story has a lot of areas to improve. It does create the tension atmosphere very well.

"Surprise Surprise

I saw the promos and felt this is another run of the mill type of Kareena film but i was wrong

The film is a nice film though similar to A WALK IN THE CLOUDS(remade earlier as KUNWARA and DHAAI AKSHAR PREM KE)

The film is well handled by Imtiaz Ali in whose faith i saw the film

The Shahid-Kareena interactions would be boring had it not been handled well by him

The entire journey is well handled

though you get to see certain convenient situations and clichés and flaws but such films are from the heart and not the brain

The turning point is well handled and the entire Shahid trying to get Kareena back is well handled

But the sudden change of Anshuman's character plus the entire last 20 minutes do spoil the show by simply dragging the film Even Anshuman becomes a jerk suddenly

Imtiaz Ali does a great job after SNT Music is great, my favorite is TUM SE HI Camera-work is great

Shahid is a surprise, often the actor just played normal youthful films and has the tendency to overact or copy SRK but here he shows a diff side He acts subtle, effective,mature The first scene is proof of his growth Kareena too is fantastic, often known for overacting though she did a great job in some films here she shows a different side to her and she is flawless Tarun hams and irritates Pawan Malhotra gets out of his terrorist image and does a great job Dara Singh irritates",8
"This is an alright full on series for all viewers to watch. It seems like the crew were very particular when they were creating this series. The storyline of this series was a bit too much. It strongly flowed throughout the entire series. The cast selection was splendid. They deeply committed and connected to the storyline and to their respective characters. The chemistry between the cast members was fairly strong. Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson always work great together. This series reveals to viewers that it is difficult to trust anyone in the world of today. I learned that it is best not to trust anyone in life, not even yourself. This is a terrific full on series for all viewers to watch.",7
"I honestly love QT style. But this movie is nothing like his usual style. Except the same micro things like camera positions when shooting characters, dialogue and few other things. I believe QT wanted to experiment a little bit here and missed. Why?

1. Usually his movies have very nice buildup of energy throughout the movie. Even when last 10 mins of movie are the real meat the whole piece has energy. This movie lacks this. 2. Very powerful dialogues. Or at least one. I think i felt many such dialogues but with no connection to the main plot. 3. Main plot. Very mild. It does amazing job of explaining what the move title says. Once upon a time in Hollywood. You get to feel late 60s. But main plot is just too focused on that. Missing real connection with characters introduced 4. There is no wow moments. For me QT movies always had this wow moments even when they are short. This movie has none. 5. It is piece of art that you need to have credibility or courage to pull out. Unfortunately this piece of art is not for majority.",3
"Nostalgia part of the movie was good. Other wise, it was just ok.",5
"I liked the idea of the show, the Actors are amazing and it is shot well. I'm also a big fan of Ellen Page.

I've been watching from Episode 1 Season 1 to Episode 7 Season 2. The biggest problem for me is there is no payoff and things get worse and worse. The characters become more depressed, more bad stuff happens, more sadness, more loss, and all for nothing. Its a really depressing show to watch. Why would I want to watch a show were things get worse and worse for the characters I grow to like? Will it ever get better for them? I'm almost 3 seasons in and so far its gotten worse for them so I gave up on it. Not only that but I have a feeling the writers are going to do some ""it was all a dream"" bs for the ending.

Then you have the trope of bringing multiple characters back from the dead more than twice. This is ok to do it once or twice for an entire series but if you do this constantly its seems like bad writing.

Compare this to ""The Boys"" for example, there is some sad parts but they are redeemed and justice follows. There are huge payoffs and things get better for the characters as the show goes on.

TLDR; I really wanted to like this show too but its just wayyyy to depressing and the good guys seem to never win.",2
"I am such a big GOT fan that i expected to hate it. For me the bar is set so high with GOT. But to my great surprise, I really really love The Witcher. The production is just beyond superb, the way the story is told and started to slowly unfold is riveting and the casting for the top 3 characters is great. Henry Cavill really did justice to the character and I so love him as Geralt of Rivia. His preparation for the role is so insane and his sword fighting moves are the best. Anya Chalotra as Yennefer of Vengerberg is also amazing and gave so much depth to the character. She is my favorite character though and i'm so rooting for her. I hate that season 2 will be aired on 2021. The wait is just terrible for me.",9
"Ok, I need some extra sentences because there is a lot to say about this film. This was almost going to be another Jagga Jasoos (in post production standard, but somehow it got saved - you will feel like drinking those green juices which will be bitter if the sugar is just a gram less). Editing is super, it does not make you feel that in some of the scenes actors are not there standing together, even kudos to the body doubles. Even camera is, whatever scene transitions and outdoors of beautiful Ranchi and Bhilai, both of which used to be famous travel destinations in the early twentieth century. I loved the songs (listened the jukebox just after watching the film) and liked the concept of making different third and fourth acts (and they have colour motifs too); but all these could not make something GREAT together as this hyperlinks are not new in India where all the different South Indian film industries started experimenting with this format with the respective own local flavours for more than a decade now, and once a while Bollywood gives it a try too. Now, the characters, Pankaj Tripathy (the Die) has done a lot of gangsters already, so you will not get much other than the main USP of the character. Abhishek Bachchan and the kid (the Reds) has a cute segment, and the scene where the parents deciding to keep the maid was so strong that I reacted vocally during it. Fatima Sana Shaikh and Rajkumar Rao (the Greens) gave their fullest, specially the scenes with his hard acting and the conversations with his co-workers. Sanya Malhotra and Aditya Roy Kapoor (the Yellows) delivered as their scripts demanded, and the scene when her fiance came was real as anything. And without having many dialogues, both Pearle Maaney and Rohit Suresh Saraf (the Blues) drew attention from everybody and now I am searching for her filmography in Wikipedia. Just to show off, adapting the rules of a game to a film is done well, and executed in better way, if not similarly massive, to ""Animal World"".",9
"Describing this film is quite a challenge, as it falls into a peculiar realm for all the wrong reasons.

Let's begin with its positive aspects. The cinematography truly stands out; every scene is aesthetically pleasing and meticulously designed. The consistent use of pastel colors throughout the entire film is nothing short of impressive.

However, when it comes to the storyline, there's nothing particularly groundbreaking. The underlying message of empowering women and bridging the gap between genders while ridiculing patriarchy is commendable. Yet, ""Barbie"" lacks ingenuity; much of the plot feels familiar from other films, with some of them executing the concept more effectively, like the movie ""Men.""

Acting-wise, the film struggles. There's only one scene that truly shines, featuring America Ferrera delivering a captivating monologue towards the film's conclusion. Beyond that, the remainder of the cast's performances are fairly average, despite some members having made better career choices prior to this project.

All in all, ""Barbie"" seems to have been given more hype than it deserves. It falls within the realm of a feel-good movie and not much beyond that. Approach it with minimal expectations, and you might find some enjoyment in the experience.",5
"In the process of saving the world the Avengers have caused some damage and many people are starting to take notice. This causes the government to put this group in check and manage what exactly it is they will do. On one side of things certain characters are agreeing on the other they are not, causing the avengers to split.

This movie is probably the best written film in the MCU at the point of its release. The movie does a really good job of showing that actions have consequences, it shows that although the avengers are saving a lot of people they are also causing the deaths of many people. Each character in this film needs to make a life changing decision and the writers do a really good job of showing why each person chose each side. In addition to that you have the theme of friendship and the theme of vengeance which are both handled very well and the film shows what can happen when friendship and vengeance are intertwined.

This a movie of two plots though, on one hand you have the Sokovia accords and on the other you have this continuing story with Captain America and the Winter soldier. The film does a really good job of not only intertwining the two plots but also making them both equally important.

Every actor did an amazing job with their character. Like I said each character has their own mini arc and each actor did a great job with that. Chadwick Boseman was great as Black Panther and Tom Holland was also great as Spider-Man.

The semi antagonist to this film is Zemo played by Daniel Bruhl. The characters motives are not revealed until the end of the movie, this is a problem for two reasons. First it makes his character seem like no more than a moustache twirling villain and second he isn't all that interesting. The intrigue for this character needed to come earlier, since that intrigue wasn't there whenever he is on screen and following his side of the plot the only thing the audience is thinking is ""when are we getting back to the avengers conflict"".

The action is highly entertaining here and what I believe to be the best action since the Avengers (at the point of its release). They have a lot of truly realistic action since there are a lot of hand to hand combat, but because they have other types of characters you also get the more sci-fi type action and it is handled very well.

Overall a great movie, amazing character writing, great action scenes and some great character introductions all add up to a great film.

9/10.",9

Not only is it a chick flick, all about some girl's angsty time in Tokyo that's supposed to seem all existential and meaningful just because she's bummed to find that her boyfriend is cheating on her. But its also a lame art film, which means it has no plot and lots of ""real"" characters and situations that, BECAUSE they're slow and boring, are supposed to be all noble and better than a movie with great characters, writing and plot. (This is how artsy people think, or rather, how they think they think. Take pity on them, they know not what they do.)

If you are forced to see this with your girlfriend (or I suppose some pretentious guys are out there running around, so ""or boyfriend""), I would not only head for the hills but go do some serious thinking about whether you're in the wrong relationship, because if you are dating someone who likes this movie, trust me. You are going to cheat on that person when they finally drive you insane with their own angsty whining about how the world owes them more attention. Then, when you cheat on them, they will sink into a miasma of victimhood and get all arty and morose and watch this movie again and try and make you feel all ""just like a guy."" And then you're going to say, this is just what that review said would happen! Spoiler!

Anyway, apparently self-congratulatory brainy chicks really like this movie, so they should definitely go see it and discuss it amongst themselves for a long time at a coffee house afterward, and leave the rest of us to re-watch Zoolander or Die Hard in peace. (They just get better on repeated viewings, which you already know.)

There you have it. Now say thank you.",2
"Disconnected, hard to follow, unimpressive acting all the way around. Lots of pyrotechnics and effects, moody score and moody facial expressions. No interest in seeing the next installment.",2
I've been waiting to see this movie due to the critics saying it was good. It is pretty interesting at first but then the twist kind of ruins the fun.,6
"I'm always stunned when I see a show with such a high rating, but one that has such successful low scoring reviews. Having read a few reviews I'm surprised to see people that hated the show, stuck with it, until series two's conclusion. A mystery to me.

Personally I really enjoyed 13 reasons why, and far from glamourising teen suicide, I believe it showed it to be a hirrifhoact, with long reaching factors, and I believe it also showed the pressures faced by today's young generation, the pressures and expectations they feel they must live up to.

Some episodes were better then others, but the high standard of storytelling and acting was maintained throughout. I think the Hannah Baker plot has now reached saturation point, so I'm relieved to see she won't appear in the third series.

I must take issue with the producers for making the infamous toilet scene so graphic, that was totally unnecessary.

Hopefully this show can help someone who's feeling particularly low realise that life is supremely precious.",8
"I saw Red Sparrow on its opening weekend and I can't stop thinking about the movie! This movie isn't perfect but it's definitely a good one. It was the Top box office over the last two weeks, in my country.

I don't understand the 1 and 2 stars on IMDB. I believe many of those reviewers haven't seen the movie and if they did, they weren't ready to see it. I'm not sure if you can complain about violent and nude scenes when you went to see a R rated movie, because I'm sure you all saw the R before you bought the tickets! Red Sparrow doesn't deserve less that a 3, even if you hated it or even if you didn't comprehend the story! The soundtrack is absolutely perfect, the opening scene is amazing and all the scenarios are beautiful. I loved the ballet scene! And those twists and turns were breathtaking. This movie is not predictable at all and it's completely different from all spy movies I've ever watched.

Dominika Egorova, a successful prima ballerina, is confronted with the premature end of her career after an accident. While she recovers from her accident, she's shaken by the reality that she will not be able to afford her mother's medical treatments and their home for much more time. Then, in a act of despair to help her mother, Dominika accepts to meet a man in a hotel. And what appeared to be an easy favor to please the important people from Russia's government and the secret services turns into something she wasn't prepared for. Dominika is send for the Sparrows' School and she has to learn how to survive in this new world, while trying to keep her mom safe... At some point she is assigned to Nash and she has to put in practice everything she learned, with no space for mistakes.

The story is really good. It's a little confusing because the rhythm is constantly changing, but the end is brilliant. The cast is amazing! Jennifer Lawrence, Matthias Schoenaerts and Charlotte Ramplimg hold you on your seat! Jennifer Lawrence does a great performance and completely deserves the big role she receives. All the performances are convincing and I'm not a specialist on Russian accent but they all worked fine, in my opinion. It sounds a little bit strange to hear those actors and actresses with a different tone and accent that usual but after 2 minutes you don't care about it anymore.

Here's what you need to know before you watch Red Sparrow:

1.There will be many violent scenes, sex and nudity. You really need to be prepared for those scenes if you're not used to R rated movies. - In my country, this film was ranked for 18+ (for example, Fifty Shades is 16+) so I was prepared for 'bad scenes' and honestly it wasn't as bad as I thought it could be. I haven't seen many R rated movies because of my age, but I only felt uncomfortable watching one scene (however, I couldn't take my eyes away from the screen). Curiously, the rating was changed for 16+ last week.

2. This is not ""007"", ""Salt"", ""The Turist"", ""NCIS"", ""The Man from U.N.C.L.E"", ""Black Widow"" or whatever you wish to see. Red Sparrow is Red Sparrow! This movie has it's own unique story. People are criticizing this film for not being one of those cliche spy stories. Red Sparrow is based on a book with the same name written by an ex-CIA agent. That being said, please don't expect a cute and lovely unrealistic story. I'm convinced that many scenes are based on true facts, so there is no fairy tails, no impossible moves or comedy. You will not see a glamorized spy movie. You will assist to a film that shows the dangerous side of this life. The book's autor said that all the details and techniques we watch in this film are real. So, you will learn the agents' tactics and witness their intelligent moves.

3. Dominika is not a bond girl! She doesn't carry huge guns and sophisticated technology machines. Dominika only has two weapons: Her mind and her body. She's an ex-ballerina, a beloved daughter and an intelligent women trying to stay alive in a world that's new for her.

4. There aren't huge scenes with special effects - again the director tries to keep it as real as possible and faithful to the book descriptions.

5. Don't expect a big romance. - That was the disappointing part for me. I wanted to see a lovely romance growing between Dominika and Nate, but thanks to the twists and turns you never know what they really feel about each other until the end comes closer. Anyway, that's probably the message that the director wants to pass. I think that Francis Lawrence wants you to feel insecure and confuse, just like Dominika. That's how you create a bond with Jennifer Lawrence's character.

6. Don't expect James Bond exaggerated action scenes. - You will not see people jumping in front of a train or escaping from a car that's about to explode. But that doesn't mean that aren't action scenes! The action starts right in the beginning.

7. In the middle, the movie appears to be slow, but the twists and turns happen really quick. PLEASE, pay attention because you're not going to understand this movie if you don't pay attention to every single detail.

8. Some parts aren't very well explained (That's why this movie isn't perfect) - While some parts appeared to be slow, when the action came, sometimes, I felt lost. The ending is unpredictable and explosive. Some scenes happen so quick that you don't have time to process everything you're seeing. - When the movie ended, me and my friends stayed inside the theatre and talked about everything. We tried to bring every piece together, so that we could understand every little details that may had escaped us.

9. The Sparrow School is a big part of this movie. - There's a big focus on the changes that happen on Dominika's life and how she deals with them. This school represents the beginning of a new life and it confronts her with a new reality, so don't be surprised that this takes a big part of the movie.

10. The suspense doesn't stop until the last minute. - Is Dominika with the Americans? Or is she tricking them to steal the information? What is she thinking? Is she defending Russia or is she betraying her country? Is Dominika interested in Nash or is she seducing him like she was taught to do in the Sparrows' School? Does Dominika have a plan? Is she a strong nationalist or is she opened to switch side? Does she know what to do?

I would love to see a trilogy and I will definitely see this movie again! I need to see all the details that I missed on the first view. I also started reading the book right away and it's great! I highly recommend it!

Ps: Even if you read the book, you will be surprised during the movie too. I have found a couple of different scenes.",8
"Were excited initially but after watching it, to come out of boredom , Had to watch Avatar 1 again !!

Way of water Looks pretty but captivating it is not.

1. Script was missing. Story was a drag.

2. Fascination of the commander with Jack Sully. This was the most awful though to bring down the whole movie from 10 stars to less than three stars. If there had a slightly less predictable story line or any attempt at making the characters have depth and charisma this movie could of been something for me. But it didn't and therefore makes the 3 hours drag on and on.

3. Over hyped 13 years waiting and a story that could of been covered in an hour. Good that I didn't watch in premier Theaters (Saved some money) 4. There will be another Avatar next, again with the same lame story of fascination of commander with Jack and both their kids would join their fathers as well . It is easily predictable how movie ended and its a Cliché !!",2
"You know you're not here for the Oscar worthy acting prowess of the cast or the cinematography, the storyline (what storyline).

This is supposed to be a fun, action movie with one liners and beautiful people doing insanely cools stunts with explosions and cool cars.

The plot and the storyline are very one dimensional, there are so many plot holes, and issues with the whole movie. The one-liners aren't brilliant, and sometimes quite forced, the action is visual but also not believable - there's explosions and car stunts, the continuity is all over the place, and the editing is very choppy, and not in an Edgar Wright way - it's jarring and makes it hard to follow.

It's not Michael Bay's best work, and not his worst.

It's a Functional Five at best.",5
"This series started off great; very interesting plot and directing was good as well. Then after about two episodes it went off a cliff (after I finished the series I did some research to find out how it went so wrong, and I learned that they changed directors after two episodes). Typical Stephan King style -- lingers FAR too long in setting a scene, this really could've been better if they had shot it with half as many episodes! I thought the acting was horrible as well, Ben Mendelssohn is so annoying that I really wanted to stop watching this after about four episodes, but I wasted my time just to see how it ended.",3
"Great story, good acting by the lead actors.. especially Pankaj Tripathi..",9
"What was alluded to be one of the biggest marvel movies of all time, a cross over point for new franchises in the mcu was nothing more than a super corny and awkwardly acted dissapointment.",3
It started out pretty promising but ended with the biggest anti climax ever.,1
"The voice over commentary in some parts had me laughing to no end. Most of the Will Ferrel scenes I could have been edited out, they were too campy and distracted from the rest of the movie, fortunately they were few and resigned to the later 1/3 of the movie.

To be honest I missed most of the big name actors, however Rhea Perlman was spot on perfect in her role.

Margo Robbie and Ryan Gosling were excellent as well, with Ryan giving an overtop hammy performance that allowed Margo to shine as the epitome of what Barbie represents, future possibilities.

Kate McKinnon was well cast and delivered flawlessly.

A couple scenes were overplayed.

As a moderately middle-aged man I might have laughed a little to hard in some places. It was well worth seeing, so much so that I even dressed up as 80s fashion Ken when I went.",8
"If you're into the MCU, this is a solid offering. Interesting story, some good set pieces, new characters add to the dynamic without feeling intrusive, and it delivers on its title (despite necessarily pulling one or two punches for logic's sake). Does have a little too much of the recent tendency of feeling like an episode rather than a standalone film - it is independent enough to be enjoyable, and I understand this is sort of how the MCU works, but by this point there's so much going on you'd almost rather some of the threads were a little more self-contained. Nevertheless, aside from a few slightly over-convenient/inconvenient jumps in the storytelling (probably necessary given the runtime) it's actually impressively well crafted. It would have been easy for this to be a bit of mess, but it feels slick, and doesn't lose its way. Overall, nothing groundbreaking - difficult now that we can pretty much predict most of the characters' actions throughout - but it's a good solid effort, and worth a watch.",7
"I never saw this one in cinemas, instead watching it for the first time in 2016 right before the release of the third Captain America movie, Civil War. This is the first time watching it since then, and like revisiting Guardians of the Galaxy 1 recently (another 2014 release), I was happy to see The Winter Soldier still holding up well. It combines paranoid spy thriller stuff with the usual large-scale MCU action well, but I do think it's at its best when it keeps the action grounded. I quite love how the sci-fi elements are down-played here, mostly saved, in a way, for Guardians Vol. 1, which was the most sci-fi-heavy MCU movie at the time of its release.

It's just great to see what looks like real explosions and car crashes, and such ordinary locations used for much of the action (until the final act). I feel like they were trying to replicate the action of The Dark Knight here, and they pulled it off pretty well. It's also very reminiscent of the Bourne movies... but yeah, they do end up doing the usual MCU thing of making things blow up to a pretty ridiculous level for the climax. This and Shang-Chi are the two big ones where I loved the style of action they went for in their respective first two acts, but found the action near the end to be not quite as impressive, even if it's ""technically"" bigger and more spectacular.

Still, the ending works well enough here, and the film does do a solid job of setting up the world-ending stakes stuff and building up to it. But I think the film's at its best when it's just Captain America on his own, with only a handful of people he can trust. The first two acts are largely great, and then I think the third act is still good, but not quite on the same level.

It's also a bit weird how many people get shot here, with bullets definitely hurting some more than others, but even then, there is a sense of real stakes here, for much of the movie. And I think pacing-wise and when it comes to action, it's much stronger than either the first or third Captain America movies.",8
This was incredible. The Coen Brothers have made some great films. But this film perfectly sums comedic awkwardness with dark violence. This film is fantastic. The actors all did fantastic. The writing and directing by The Coen Brothers is awesome. And this is just a great movie. The fact that they said this was a true story but wasn't is simply funny and cool. This film could not be done today with the same greatness. Overall this is a flawless film and should be watched by everyone.,10
"A school which trains attractive young women, how to use their body for espionage, has featured in many books and films. A tale of double-crossing and confusion over loyalty, is also popular ; and needs the viewer to pay attention, through the action scenes. What sets Red Sparrow apart, from what has gone before ; is J Law's performance, which beats even the Hunger Games. I've heard she is taking an acting break for a year ; and this film should be successful enough to guarantee a flood of role offerings when she returns.",10
"I can't fathom why people are loving this movie it gave nothing special or something to remember. It really is a movie that I watched and thought ok I'm never watching that movie again or talking about it except to say that it left me with no particular feeling. It felt like a ""Disney"" movie for kids and teens. It's so predictable and boring. The angered kid after his parents divorce, the special genius kid getting bullied wow never seen before. The cool guy vs the nerdy guy. The special nerdy guy being super talented and underrated and this look at him now mentality is so overused and underwhelming.",2
Absolutely nothing interesting about this show at all. May have had a plot at the beginning but turned into rubbish quickly. Ended without any sense of accomplishment but some corny soap opera style finish. Don't waste your time,3
"I wanted to like this but man, it just fell flat ...The acting,the CGI, the lighting, and the writing itself left Alot to be desired..The proper super hero movies by marvel and DC have nothing to be worried about with this thing, its not competition and not in the same league....It tries to be funny, but doesnt quite make it..the same with the cgi which looks passable in some instances such as with the villian, but atrocious at other times with the main character...this could have gotten a better score with a shortened and cleaned up storyline which dragged and dragged on and on with silly cgi fights in a circus park...these were overplayed to the max and ruined the flow,what there was of it....I love seeing empowered characters and the incredible feats they can accomplish, it can make anyone wide eyed but This has been done before and done Much much better than what we see here...this is like a poor mans copy of a real superhero movie...it can be fun and somewhat interesting,long dragged out scenes aside, but there are so many other movies that excel over this one...thumbs down from me.",6
"The Godfather Part II is arguably the greatest film ever made. Every single bit of it is a model of perfection, it's just amazing. Francis Ford Coppola has managed to do something very difficult - to surpass the first part of The Godfather saga. The cinematography, the dialogue, the script, the acting and every other part of this movie are impeccable and amazing. I strongly believe that Al Pacino's performance in this film is maybe the greatest acting performance of all time. The way he develops his character from a young, innocent boy to a ruthless crime lord is mind-blowing. I cannot believe that he lost the Oscar, since this performance, in my humble opinion, is the best in his career. Robert De Niro is also mesmerizing, less than Pacino though, but nevertheless he won a very well-deserved Oscar. Robert Duvall shines as Tom Hagen and John Cazale is very convincing as Fredo. To sum it all up - this movie is a masterpiece, a must-see, it's literally flawless!",10
Pathetic movie. Only the action sequence saves a bit otherwise you won't be able to connect with the characters and story. Not engaging...,2
"This film is so long and boring, nothing really happens. It is well acted , but unfortunately that it is just dull. Shame.",5
I loved watching it I'm already wishing for season 2 as soon as possible I'm so impatient to where I don't wanna wait till next year or 2 years or even 10 I want season 2 Now!!!!! The show was amazing if you are curious about it definitely give it a try.,9
"It was a good start! I'm watching from social media but I really like it! It's good you can watch you will enjoy!

The main actor could be better cause sometimes, He's no develop more confidence.

In general its good!",8
"Awful. There is no such thing as a good movie anymore. The popularity of this movie is testimony to this country's proclivity for the bandwagon. Like we've done to so many plastic clad customized, cookie cutter mini mansions, we flocked to this movie because we were supposed to. Well, the emperor has no clothes and this movie is no good.

I can tolerate any out of the ordinary as long as it means something. In fact I welcome the outside of 'the Julia Roberts Box.'(another unartful bandwagon we jumped on) The movie was unbearably slow without purpose. I think this was the director's idea of being artful. But I am willing to check this out again if someone saw it 4 times in 4 days to see if there is something I missed.",1
"Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy this show and it sits between Wanda... and Falcon... for me. However with this new, ""former evil doer / new found humanitarian"" version of Loki, this started to feel a lot like a Hollywood style vision of Doctor Who?!

Not sure if anyone else was feeling this while watching the show, but I had serious ""Time Lord"" vibes right from episode one.

As a 6 episode unit, it was pretty fulfilling and I will still be looking forward to season 2 coming around.",7
"Why a movie as this one gets such a general rating is a mystery to me: the script is full of holes, acting is terrible and human depth is nil. In short, this is a typical empty production as Martin Scorsese rightly remarked about Marvel movies. To be enjoyed by any person up to about maximum 16 years old.",4
"Just shows how you can drawn into something with a good first couple of episodes and then it all goes to ****. If they had just made a story out of the first episodes it might have been ok.

Seriously - do something with your life!",1
"For me, a good movie has to be enjoyable. Be it drama, action, comedy or whatever, this movie though is just a stress inducing mess. Constant shouting from multiple characters at the same time, with shaky camera work that almost gave me motion sickness just doesn't do it for me. The plot itself was nothing special and i guess Sandlers acting was ok, but never Oscar-worthy.",3
"Netflix found it necessary to warn audiences before the show that it will contain ""smoking"". Quite to the contrary, I found the child drug use disturbing. Also, in denying Bobby Fisher's existence, by replacing it with a fictional female lead, it opens the gates to bargaining against reality. Eventually, it transforms to a very watchable show, even though the camera barely shows the chess board.",7
"This is a real step up in film making for the Coens from all their previous works, to this, debatable their finest.

Everything here is perfect from the pacing, the cinematography, the performances and script and the score.

Marge's final few scenes encapsulate a wisdom and heartfelt frustration that is very moving and one i whole heartedly embrace.

Gerry is such a loathsome, squirming, passive aggressive little rat that only the beautiful soul of Marge could be the anti-dote and she is in spades here.

It's a grim tale told without any cynicism and a few wry laughs that we have come to expect from the brothers, mainly around the bugling kidnappers.",10
"Long, boring, and after 90 minutes I had it. I stopped watching. Waste of time.",3
"This series is one of the best series ever created, and that's a fact. Iconic in every way.",8
"Ann Bishop-Mullany (Andie MacDowell) is a sexually repressed neurotic in therapy. Her husband John (Peter Gallagher) is having an affair with her sister Cynthia Patrice Bishop (Laura San Giacomo). His old friend Graham Dalton (James Spader) comes by for a visit. Graham likes to videotape his interviews of women talking about sex. He videotapes Cynthia leading to everyone re-examining their relationships.

Director Steven Soderbergh delivers a talkative slow boil that bubbles up emotional chaos. The frank verbal sexuality is quite a jolt. James Spader brings his usual slightly creepy character. The four differing personalities energizes this movie. Soderbergh lingers which gives the movie a great voyeuristic feel at times. The film is mesmerizing and is never dull.",8
"With all the anticipation around the release of Venom, I was extremely keen on watching the movie in all its glory on the big screen. After suicide squads deception, I was very exited for a good antihero movie. However, still this wish has not been fulfilled. Venoms plot was so see-through that I knew exactly what was going to happen in the first 5 minutes. We get introduced to some problems in tom hardy's life. He gets infected, deals with some easy problems before facing the big villain, and after being the underdog, miraculously wins with the help of his pals. This is exactly why Infinity War stands apart from all these other movies. There is an intersteng character development, twists in the plot and an villain with an actual purpose. I mean, I kinda get the idea of Venoms villain (what was his name?) motive, as they want to live on the bodies of earth and thrive here (after writing this im not sure I actually do though...). But really, what is Venoms motive for saving the world. His explanation is that he likes tom hardy and started to like earth? But why? What underlying reason is there, what carter development supports this?

Then there are the many inconsistencies in the film. Venom first states that he knows everything tom hardy does, but at one event has to ask Tom Hardy crucial plot details as a way to tell the audience. Then there is the issue of the villain travelling to SF for what exact reason? because he knows there is a spaceship? Which they don't have in India or other closer countries? Or the fact that Venom knows that Tom hardy should not open the door in the first venom scene, however lacks all these spider-senses in the next when he crashes in to a car during the mandatory action movie car chase. Well, I could go on and on, but you get the point.

I'd like to finish by discussing the quality of acting. Although the movie does not allow for any character development, I do think we should give Tom Hardy some credit for portraying a flat and shallow character in a decent manner. However, especially his costar and ex lover was an atrocity to watch. All the lines, however badly written, were delivered without any emotion and with the sole intention to get a laugh from the audience. She actually seems like the real villain in this movie. Lets quickly analyse: She leaves TH without having evidence of him breaking in to her computer. All the while she was informed about the Life corp's wrongdoings and didn't do anything about it. She dates a nice surgeon (golddigger much?) who actually is respectful towards TH and even helps him. Then she goes and cheats on him again with TH and waves it off in a joking manner.. Want to wake up next too crazy?

Final recommendation: Watch this to be able to critically judge other movies and see all the cliches to avoid in a summery of 2 hours.",3
"Totally unnecessary and pointless movie, and not funny at all.

And funny is the least thing that comes into my mind when it comes to Hitler.

You may want to see instead: The Downfall Schindler's List The Boy in the striped Pijamas.",6
"Present movies are more about life's lessons and the horrible consequences of war (a reflection of the times we live in), very few of them are actually meant to entertain us and even the few comedies out there have leaned more and more into scatological humor and innuendo, leaving the young audiences with scarce options. Stephen Chow has the right idea when it comes to movies.

Kung Fu Hustle is pure entertainment! The fights are very well choreographed, the humor is light and very physical (everyone will get the jokes), the drama is also light but very well accomplished (you can cry if you want) and to top it all, the special effects are great!

It is advisable that you avoid watching it with very young kids, but anyone 13 and above will enjoy it a lot. Watching this movie is bliss. The amalgamation of genres works very well and the pacing is near-perfect with ups and downs at all the right moments. If you want to spend a great weekend night, gather some friends, get some take-out food and watch this movie!",10
"This movie was hard to watch. if u have an eye for detail don't watch this. stuff that irritates me is when ur car gets crashed and in the next scene its brand new shiny yellow again without bruises and with a sidemirror that 3 seconds before crashed of the car. jokes are not good, no emotional connection with story or people is there. i shut this whole thing down after 15 min. If your drunk and with friends i should recommend it, otherwise please dont waste your time.",5
"From the first introductory to the second dark political thriller, the Russo brothers has surprised the audiences by transforming the entire tone of the series into a psychology based superhero film. It's a mini Avengers reunion but more centralise on the conflicts between Captain America, Winter Soldier as well as Iron Man and with more grounds to cover, both Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely who have written the first two installments managed to ensure the well-pacing of the story without losing its sense of intentions. Continuing the epic traditional fighting sequences from previous episode, the 13th outing of this MCU adventure offers a wide variety range of action scenes and it is evenly distributed among all the superheroes through efficient cinematography of switching without focusing much on gunshots, smashing and explosions. All characters are engaging thanks to the compelling character developments; Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr. and Sebastian Stan deliver well as their roles respectively in term of resolving the challenge of their friendship test, the other Avengers perform outstanding too especially the brought in of Spider-Man, Back Panther and Ant-Man have added more fun and joy which is entirely absent in DC's Dawn of Justice. It is emotional, inspiring and perfectly crafted, implying that the actions chosen between the two main characters are not anything about right or wrong, but more on perceptions and the outcomes. While the Captain America trilogy is not up to The Dark Knight trilogy masterpiece, the decision to explore thought- provoking themes have made it one of the most impressive series in MCU.",10
"Season 1 and Season 2 are a wonderful, engaging and entertaining. Both actors did great in bringing a long loved character into the 21st century. It was fast, entertaining and captivating. Season1 and 2 deserve are highly recommended.

However, Seasons 3&4 are a descent into pseudo-intellectual tripe, without a straight story line, or who's done it plot. Somehow the writers have lost the path and continuously made fun of the Holmes character by dropping him into East Enders Hell and see how he handled that bunch of human baggage. I do hope, if there will be a season 5, the writers pull their heads out of their perspective ""bottoms"" and write something in honor of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, not something in honor of their own pseudo-intellectual prowess...

Very sad that the BBC has allowed it to go this far...",5
The visuals were great but i didnt find the story that interesting.,7
"I liked the first season and a half or so but the last season completely lost the plot and went full woketard.

I'm not interested in having politics in my entertainment but ""The Boys"" decided to cram in as much politics with a heavy handed slant in one direction as they possibly could. They also forgot the entire point of the series towards the end. I hope they stop making the show because it's just getting dumb/bad.",5
"Harry Potter has Grown up. Along with Hermione Granger and and Ronald Weasly, the three friends began this adventure at Hogwarts, and what started out as a silly romp through magical inanity has turned in to something very dark. Although Hogwarts is not where this story takes place, it is still part of the ongoing story. As with Lord of the Rings, the story has taken on proportions that Author J.K. Rowling probably had no control over - This story is telling itself and under the superb direction of David Yates, who has been at the helm for the last few Potter films, has been brought to vivid life. Magic and Technology clash in the middle of London in the sight of all of the unsuspecting Muggles.

Each Potter film has been subsequently better then the previous films, and this film hits the peak... all stops are pulled out, nothing is held back... And so this part of the story which began with Goblet of Fire and the reawakening of ""You-Know-Who"" is a lot like the final parts of Lord of the Rings. Catastrophe has been reached, we await the EuCatastrophe.

We know that Potter has been accumulating useful magical objects during his education at Hogwarts, and in this film he uses most of them. Also, look for the very first Magic-Gadget used by Dumbledore in the first Potter movie. Now we are in a race to find the objects that make up the Deathly Hallows - We know who has one of these objects, it has been used in previous Potter films. It is not used in this one. And now we know ""You-Know-Who"" is searching for these same objects. Who will get them first? Many questions which have been unanswered through the entire series are now being revealed, some questions we did not know were being asked. The doorway that Serious Black fell through as he died, what was that, where does it lead? These loose ends are just beginning to be tied up and I look very forward to the final installment of the Potter series - Will these things be explained, or will Harry have to explore more and more nightmarish scenarios? Although Deathly Hallows is part 1 of a two part story, this film stands by itself and some of the questions are already being answered.",10
"This movie is unbearable. More than two hours of non-stop talking, sometimes several characters talking at once, I don't know if it tries to mimic some king of intensity of action but it's pathetic and obnoxious. And the main actor is barely decent.",4

"Wow, just wow. I had such high hopes for this film, everyone was raving about this movie, some claimed it was better than a previous favorite of mine, Hacksaw Ridge.

They couldn't have been more wrong. How is this movie getting such high ratings?

Basically to sum up this movie every bad decision, lack of common sense, and failure to keep to your goal was made making this movie the worst war movie I have ever seen. What an embarrassment, this cannot be based off of a true story, no one is that stupid and was still able to make it out alive. Unbelievable, all of it was unbelievable, ridiculous, and idiots, our main character(s) were idiots in every decision they made. That is what made this whole movie unbelievable because no one could ever make that many poor choices and be voted on to make a movie. Awful, all of it was just so awful that my whole family has decided to forget this movie was ever made or that we even wasted the time to watch this mess of a ""war"" film.",1
"Storytelling is very poor and almost the same, as in the first movie. The movie seems like written by an AI. More fighting scenes than lore.

Also translations are very bad because ""bro"", ""dad"" and ""buddy"" are no authentic words, for a spiritual species living on an other planet.

It just sounds like out of an Teenage-Highschool-Movie instead of a film made for its actual target group (mid. 20s, that watched Part 1 - 13 years ago).

I didn't like the movie at all and I am very disappointed by what modern movies seem to become... cashcows with 1h showdowns, that are so boring and repetitive, you start falling asleep.",2
"""What If"" (S01, 9 eps, 1/2hr, Dis+) has a really decent premise. However, the way it's implemented in this era of political corr-azy and ""I'm so woke"" makes it so predictable. It's like they go out of their way to build up women and non-Euro races as the What If heroes, but it's more pandering than interesting. And they're all so idealized, clean as bleach. It's antiseptic in the way we all hated the Star Wars prequels. As such it comes across more as After School special than gritty storytelling. Seriously, with the material at their disposal this could've been an awesome set of adventuring instead of the safe, PG fare it mostly bored us with. What if this series was made for adults by adults that pay the subscriptions for these services?! That's a What If premise the majority of us could get behind.",5
What a show..i must say the whole Indian cinema n series should learn for the the team tvf...the way they have researched the content..the implementation..the screenplay..the writing....they have really excel the complete plot in an excellent way...if you look in the detailing you'll find that each and every aspect of the slot is created so well that it hardly left any place for error.. Comming to acting part..all have done there part pretty well.. doing justice to the show.. specially the pitcher guys.. The hard work of content creators is completely reflecting in the show.. It's marvelous.. More power to you guys.. Well done..,9
"Im a fan of this actor, lotta action, but has no history... too weaky, very dramatic final lol , its a great movie to watch in the afternoon...",3
"Frankly, the first season, apart from a few moments/characters is a total wash: bad script, bad character development, bad editing, Alison's weird little bun, and a completely embarrassing use of popular music to gloss over the fact that everything is a cliche.

Some things I did like: Klaus, Klaus' pants, Mary J Blige, Number 5 (to a point), the robot mom.

Things I hated: everything else

Someone had to twist my arm to make me watch the second season- and I am so glad they did!!! Basically, someone with talent came in and fixed all the bad stuff!!! Plus they added an actual cinematographer, and a decent sound editor, and probably a real writer for the script! Its like Christmas!

All of the actors that seemed so blah before now rock! Because they actually have depth to their characters! Lines they can say without cringing! And we get what we want: a story that actually interests us about people who actually care about each other (to a point).

SEVEN. STARS (up from 5)",7
"Horrible storyline, horrible acting, horribly political. I pay for entertainment not to see someone else's political views.",1
"When I saw its promos, I became very excited, seeing big names, experienced cast. But it was a let down. Too slow.

Did we really need to know that much of the characters' back stories? The current happenings could have been made more interesting. And considering wide range of colorful characters living in the building where murders occur, the tv show turned out to be very bland.

I held onto my patience for upto the first quarter of the 3rd episode before giving up on it.",1
"Well edited, great screen play. Everyone lived in their role. 150 minutes just fly by.",10
"I'd never seen this because I usually avoid overhyped stuff, but my hubby wanted to see it again so I watched and found it pretty lame, the effects are dated by now which can't be helped but the empty boring sets could've been much better, even in the 90's, acting is stiff and flat effortless fights, plus the story is thinner than water with added whirlpools that chunks of plot seem to have gotten lost in! All in all I found it severely lacking, mainly in story and depth, it could've been richer and darker, not worth the hype for me, whether back in 1999 or now.",5
"When you compare The Godfather to The Godfather, Part II, the only difference between the two films is the cast. There is no James Caan and Marlon Brando. Now, that doesn't make the movie worse, as most people would think. The storyline is interesting, yet very sad, although this movie is excellent, it is very sad. The Godfather, however, is inspiring due to Marlon Brando's beautiful and incouraging acting. Therefore, Al Pacino has to act twice as hard, and he's a great actor. He does a fantastic job. Every scene he acts he acts with passion and courage. Vito Corleone's childhood is also great, although the adaptation in the 1970's of The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, was called, The Godfather, A Novel of a movie, (I think). I watched that and it was the two Godfather's combined together. Vito Corleone's childhood from Part II is combined at the beginning of the movie. Amazing and terrific. Definetly worth watching.",10
"""The Shawshank Redemption"" is a cinematic masterpiece that delves deep into the human spirit's resilience. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman deliver compelling performances, portraying the enduring friendship between two prisoners. The film's poignant narrative, gripping plot twists, and themes of hope and redemption make it a timeless classic that resonates with audiences across generations. With its powerful storytelling and emotive storytelling, ""The Shawshank Redemption"" remains a must-watch for all movie enthusiasts. Darabont's direction, coupled with Stephen King's poignant storytelling, creates an unforgettable cinematic experience that continues to resonate with viewers worldwide.",4

"I liked this! I'm always a fan of shows and movies that feature prodigies. I wanted the show to dig a little deeper into her traumatic past, though. It's her experiences with her mother during her childhood that fuel her drinking and smoking habits later on as a young adult. Though, not enough is shared about this experience. The most we get are short flashbacks. Aside from that, this show was worth the watch.",8
"Standard and predictable, while also feeling very reminiscent of terrible films like The Happening and great films like A Quiet Place. Bird Box has some thrilling moments and Sandra Bullock gives a great performance, however all the scenes that take place in the House feel somewhat interesting, but no where near as great as the scenes on the river. All together the film is standard and a great vehicle for Bullock and the young child actors.",6
I haven't read the book but I think as far as spy movies go it was damn good. I'm a lover of movies and I think this one played out just right!! Screw the naysayers!!,9
"Each episode is intriguing per se and a bit too short. I was expecting a little bit more, but still worth your time if you are a Marvel fan.",8
"This movie brutally divides opinion - it seems you either love it or hate it. Well I hate it. BUT I have to confess I didn't stay the course; after 45 mins I'd had enough - switched off and looked for something that was boring the pants off me! Where, O where did this idea come from? It wasn't that the acting was bad - it wasn't . It just lacked direction and content. Whereas another lauded movie, Birdman, was total pretentious (and boring too) tosh this was simply boring, boring, boring. Don't waste your time.",1
"I didn't expect to like Barbie as much as I did, but I enjoyed most aspects of it.

There's an edge to the humor, the performances are convincing (Robbie and Gosling go all in, and it makes the film so much better), and there's plenty on screen that is both funny and relates to the real world.

Beat for beat, the story isn't particularly surprising. You can see where it's headed a mile away. But the way it carves its own path there using its unique premise, the property, and its stylistic blend of modern humor that reflects the real world is particularly well done. Everything comes together well.

Though I don't love it as much as most people due to aforementioned predictability and some of the jokes not landing as well as others, it's still a fun time. Oh, and ""I'm Just Ken"" is an absolute banger.",7
"I am finally leaving a review after watching all 4 seasons. Seasons 1 and 2 are great, season 3 goes downhill a bit, then season 4 brings it home with a bang and is the BEST season so far. Everyone knows the premise by now so no need to go into that. Obviously the 80's nostalgia is the best part.....they hit a home run with that. Seasons 1 and 2 were new and exciting and kept me wanting to watch more. The actors, mostly new to me, were all great and the storyline unique. Season 3 is where things start to go downhill, so much so that I was on the fence about watching season 4. It felt like season 3 started to drag on a bit and the ending was just okay. Now season 4........I would rate that a 10/10. Best season so far. The show took on a different story, went a different direction and was just great overall. The music is great, the actors did fantastic and the way everything came together in the end was awesome. This makes me nervous for the last season because it might be hard to top season 4. So for those on the fence, just know season 4 is worth watching the whole show.",8
The opening scenes are like treading treacle. I'm partial to a romantic movie. This was just sickly and over acted.,2
"It started strong. The acting &cast is great. Had me hooked. (Overlooking a bunch of plot holes that were thrown in to throw you off, just to keep you guessing) But then around the climax of episode 5. It suddenly started to ger drawn-out. They felt the need to give every character they introduced some sort of closure, while attempting to add twists. I felt too committed to this show. It felt like a chore to keep watching and soured the strong momentum&suspense the show had.

I kept saying please don't let there be an episode 8. Especially please don't let there be a second season.

If judging by ep 1-5 I would give it a 7.5 As a whole I give it a 6

Honestly they probably could have told the whole story in 4 episodes.

I watched the making of after and the cast said they were ""kept in suspense,not knowing what was going ro happen before hand."" While I'm sure it's thrilling from an actors point of view to take your character onto multitude of developement and emotional levels. It becomes a drag for the viewer.",6
"Firstly, I think and I dont image Geralt of Rivia without Henry Cavil its like he's actually the same. Secondly, The diversity and features of characters are very beautiful and i think this series will come to be strong series.",8
"It's unfair to compare this series to The Twilight Zone. Unfortunately, that's the only comparison available. Additionally,with such a variety of writers and directors, the range of styles and methods of execution make it a collage. The common threads are the producer, a dystopian view and British film/TV Movie making sensibility.

Many episodes could stand on their own as full theatrical releases. A few need not have been made. Taken in its entirety, the body of work is genius. It will likely remain viable for generations as the technologies foreseen will be compared to the similar technologies that will become reality. Where Series such as Star Trek and Star Wars futurist views are defined by the movie making technology of the time, this series is defined by the creative talent and imagination of the production staff. Like I said, British. Fortunately, this wasn't (or has not yet) been f'd up by Hollywood.

Reading some of the reviews are, as other non US series of movies, not fully appreciated by the US audience. It lacks the typical banality and requires an intellect or education level beyond the US electorate to fully appreciate the work.Clue, there's no laugh track or formula or predicable outcome. Sorry Trump supporters, this one requires a brain.",8
"I came into the movie theater not knowing what to expect, the critics hated it and movie goers loved it. My conclusion is that the critics were mostly right. It's a poorly directed movie with great actors doing the most with what they are given. The action is generic, most of the jokes fall flat the story has lots of logical flaws. But mostly, the movie is just kind of boring. What kept me from entirely loosing interest was the dialogue between Eddie and Venom which is where the focus of the movie should have been. Instead whe have a bleak Hollywood production that doesn't know what it wants to be with a lot of actor potential that was never used.",4
It's movies like this that keeps me away from the theater. Dumb story. Lousy CGI. Acting was what you'd expect. Just a bad bad movie.,2
"I felt like character development and story development were lacking substantially.

I do think the overall story is similar enough to the book but lots of details that I felt were placed in awkward places, and just overall I was disappointed after reading the book.",4
What's going on with this movie? Where's he driving to? 2/10,2
"I had high expectation for this series but I was very disappointed. The acting is bad at the beginning but gets a bit better as the series go. The cast is okay but could have been better for the main characters. After watching 5 episodes you realize that it is always the same and there is no evolution.

The special FX are not great but not bad either. The music is good and fits the scenes. The plot is boring and repetitive and there is no evolution. There is not enough main characters and none of them are agents we know. The casting for guest stars is better than the casting for the main characters. It is repetitive and predictable. No super heroes. Very few appearance of characters we know or super heroes if not at all for the latter other than mentions. If you have seen Nikita don't bother with this series. It is very much alike.

This doesn't deserve the Marvel name. S.H.I.E.L.D had so much potential but turns out the same as Nikita. Very boring after a couple of episodes.",6
"Three years ago, the world held its collective breath as it flipped through the pages of the the final installment of JK Rowling's epic 7-part series, seeking the satiation for a curiosity that had all but consumed them absolutely for years-who would live? who would die? and what would become of the survivors? Thousands of theories and counter-theories later, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows revealed the answers at long last (some of which had already been predicted); but it wasn't just the resolution of sub-plots and character arcs and the solving of long-standing magical mysteries that gripped the reader, but above all the sheer epic scale and scope of this saga within a saga that spanned virtually the entirety of the fantastic realm spawned by Rowling. Needless to say, while the novel positively GLOWED with cinematic potential, adapting an epic such as this does present unprecedented challenges...even more so when one takes into account the Harry Potter film series predilection for liberally eliminating significant plot elements from the novels in hopes of condensing the stories for accommodation in a 2-3 hour time span. Now, the same clearly couldn't be done with the Deathly Hallows-the minutest elements were of paramount importance to the overall plot and couldn't be safely done away with without running the risk of completely butchering Rowling's story. To this end, the film-makers wisely decided to split the book into two films...And after a long wait Part I is finally here and it certainly surpasses expectations (then again, it is pretty much EXPECTED that an HP film WILL 'surpass expectations'...) The very first aspect of this film that strikes you is that it sends a message. A very strong message that the wizarding world has changed-for the worse. The trademark WB logo we see at the start of the film is shown to be rusting...in stark contrast to the glowing WB of old; much like the circumstances of the characters have taken a turn for the worst. Death Eaters are perpetually swirling about in the skies, waiting to attack members of the Order of the Pheonix when the slightest opportunity presents itself...Voldemort has taken control of the Ministry, using its official authority and power to hunt down dissidents to his fascist regime of pure-blood supremacy...and Harry, Ron and Hermione are forced out of the sanctuary of their homes, on the run in the wilderness, with barely a clue as to how they are to accomplish the crucial task their deceased mentor Albus Dumbledore left them-finding and destroying the Horcruxes (fragments of Voldemort's soul) that anchor the Dark Lord to life.

Understandably, this film boasts not only of a darker tone but a radically different direction from its predecessors-no longer are the legendary trio of teenage wizards students...they are now fugitives from the 'evil empire', soldiers in a war they are ever so close to losing. Freed from the confines of Hogwarts, director David Yates seizes the opportunity to place the protagonists against the backdrop of a number of breathtaking scenic locations and in a number of situations (expertly crafted by Rowling) which provide a wealth of variety as opposed to the schoolyard atmosphere of previous installments-at one point we see Harry, Ron and Hermione on a Mission Impossible-style mission-breaking into the Ministry of Magic in order to steal a locket that might just be one of Voldemort's Horcruxes; later we catch them in an intensely blink-and-you-miss-it fast-paced chase through a forest; to say nothing of the chaotic duel in the claustrophobic confines Malfoy Manor towards the end. Truly, the action scenes are a class apart but another area where this film shines is character development-from being the boy wizard perpetually looking to Dumbledore for guidance, Harry is now the man calling the shots in this perilous quest to destroy Voldemort; and even his trusted 'sidekicks' Ron and Hermione are beginning to question their participation in his mission. Ron's violent emotional outburst in the middle of the film, Hermione's despair and wistfulness for a simpler past and Harry's eternal self-doubt and frustration leave as indelible an imprint on the viewer's mind as much as any of the magnificent displays of magic (courtesy of some truly revolutionary SFX) does-Ron near mental-breakdown after being psychologically tortured by a fragment of Voldemort's soul is the most emotionally powerful sequence in the film, as is the Harry-Hermione 'dance scene', a rare moment of light-heartedness in an otherwise grim story which exemplifies in many ways the deep love the two characters share, even in the absence of any romantic involvement.

If there is one shortcoming in this film, it is that scarcely enough focus is given to the titular 'Deathly Hallows' in the film (save for a truly fantastic animation sequence explaining the legend behind them) as opposed to the novel-though no doubt they will be addressed in Part II given the crucial part they are to play at the end of the story. Dumbledore's backstory with the Dark wizard Gellert Grindlewald, the discovery of which has a debilitating impact on Harry's morale in the book, is likewise also sidelined, though perhaps that can be forgiven, given the time constraints.

Despite these minor issues, the film does end up pretty well, which is to say, it ends badly for our characters who, having barely escaped with their lives (for what may well be the umpteenth time) watch one of their oldest friends die-to say nothing of Voldemort having reached the very pinnacle of his magical power in the very last scene...well, as those who have read the book know, things are only going to get worse before they even start remotely looking better for our heroes and undoubtedly Part I has left the audiences restless for the next (and final) installment that chronicles the (inevitable) triumph of good over evil in the wizarding world.",10
"This show started off as a masterpiece and ended like a parody of itself. Season 1 is still a must see thus the 7/10 overall.

Season 1 - 9/10 Season 2 - 6/10 Season 3 - 2/10 I would have stopped midway through season 3 if it wasn't for the hotness of Maya Hawke.",7
"MCU finally did something different after all this time. This show was a serious take on injustice & racism, which offended too many people. And I liked it. Also it's MCU'S first take on creating something for mature audiences rather than Kid's CGI fight movies & tv shows.",8
"I find myself coming back to this film time and time again. I personally really enjoy a good Kung Fu / martial arts film. I also enjoy the the more magical and less realistic films.

Kung Fu hustle takes every trope in the book and exaggerated them almost to the point of being ridiculous. The story of rags to riches, arrogance to humility and a heart warming love story. Every character is entertaining and unique. The action is both slapstick and brutal. The martial arts action is actually some of the best I've seen, if you don't mind a more anime feel to it.

It really encapsulates everything I like to see in a martial arts film. I want more!",10
"I must applaud Netflix for continuing to support the sci fi genre and rebooting Lost in Space, however, I have more than a few grimaces here.

First of all, as a 30yo I'm not entirely sure the show is aimed at me as a target audience; it just screams at me to be a show for a younger generation. No swearing, no grotesque death and violence and definitely no unnecessary sex scenes common in modern TV. But take all that with a grain of salt I suppose.

First of all the casting and character writing will make you shake your head. Dr Smith was definitely miscast and very poorly written - the entire character is just bad. Gung-ho and over-zealous, super-genius mom who is a feminist wet dream; who has an answer for everything and can't do any wrong. And Will Robinson is still quite green as an actor but I don't want to criticise child actors, he'll get better. The robot is very weak, it is the rubberband that hinges however it is needed; it can do everything and nothing all at once. Can be super smart and adaptive or really stupid and unintelligible depending on which plot device is required. The daughter Penny, father John and Mechanic Don (and his chicken) are the shining lights for me. Penny in particular does a great job bringing her character alive.

The plot devices also bring about some head shaking. Very much in the vein of mid-90s drama where everything gets wrapped up into a nice neat little bow at the end of every episode. Even the most complex and mathematical problems seem to be easily resolved. This is definitely not a thinking persons show, it's meant to be easily consumed.

You can see that no corners have been cut in the production quality and effects. So despite my criticisms earlier, I still recommend the show to everyone to dip your toes back into space and sci fi. The show will definitely not overpower you with fantasy or science and is really well made.

Thank you to the makers and to Netflix - 7/10 stars.",7
"The first half was like some really terrible sitcom without laugh track

The second half was like some TED talk

Felt like watching chota bheem with kids where every little characters suddenly becomes professional and fights the villains of the day

Happy to see Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield playing spiderman again but other than that it had nothing to offer for me.",3
Not much more to add. It's like trying to make a story dealing with interesting issues being perfomed by stones.,2
"Okay, this is probably an unpopular opinion - but am I the only one who feels every season in this show has the same storyline with similar things happening to different people? Season 1 was novel and interesting. Season 2,3 became redundant but watching it was still a guilty pleasure. But season 4 is highly disappointing. The whole ""kids/teenagers"" solving mysteries is really pretentious and is stretched far too long. Too many parallel threads make it hard to feel for any. Better graphics, more gore and incredible sound design doesn't make up for bad writing! Many scenes are predictable (formulaic writing) and some are outrageously illogical. Very disappointed!!",3
Few sentences can describe this movie. A must watch movie with no disturbance,10
"I remember watching this show as a kid and always enjoyed it. This new version is Good, and really other than the characters names and the general setting of the show, it's not the same show. Where the old show was ridiculous at times, this one kept me entertained though-out. I think a lot of viewers hear 'reboot"" and instantly go into protection mode for their beloved series. This is a different show, aimed at a different audience. Watch the whole thing through, and I think you will like it. Besides, it's not like a reboot of a 5 or 10 year old show. I think the original aired in 1965.",8
"Wife and I were tempted to walk out after first 20 minutes, but saw it through due to the positive critical reviews. Should have stuck with our initial instincts. The characters were totally unlikable, especially Adam Sandler's character, and his verbal barrage has us walking out of the theater feeling miserable. I'll admit the acting was good, but that worked against the film since the story was depressing and the characters were people I would tend to avoid in real life.",2
"I guess I will be dissenting reviewer here among the many other apparent glowing reviews here.

I have watched the various Marvel movies and in particular the Avengers series released over the last 5 years. This one has got Marvel heroes and villains raining in left right and centre from the start with limited background or story to set the scene. The comedy in the face of apparent disaster seemed misplaced.

And I have to say it has probably got the most anticlimactic ending ever. I won't go into the details to avoid spoilers for those of you have not watched it yet. However i appreciate this was probably to get people to watch the next movie. But myself and the rest of the viewers in the theatre i was at today was shocked at this abrupt ending with little meaning or explanation. Was not impressed hence the 4 rating.",4
"This movie destroyed what could have been a great trilogy. The plot jumps around every couple of seconds without any explanation. The graphics and visuals revive what little positives can be found within the film, but even with those, the horrible story makes this a 2 star film.",2
"All 61 episodes of Avatar were filled with Action and Adventure. The friendship between Aang Katara, Sokka and Toph is an important element of this show as it shows the diversity in cultures imprinted in the world of the avatar. It also introduces a romantic twist to multiple episodes and takes you on a personal journey where you become biased to a specific character. As I have said, friendship is an important story line to Avatar. Without the help of Katara, Sokka and Toph, he would of never defeated Fire Lord Ozai and wouldn't even be broken out of the iceberg. Aang discovers his sense of identity through the support of these relationships he makes and is even able to convince his enemies to become his friends.",10
"I'm giving this show 5 stars because, as a fiction story, it is entertaining and because I can tell that there was a significant effort to put together the right environment of the 1950s and 1960s. Cars, music, chess clocks, chess books and others were mostly the right ones, with a few mistakes here and there. I even notice, for example, that when Beth Harmon opens a magazine, one name printed is Panov and Vasily Panov was a well-known international master active during those years.

Regardless of the story and attention to environmental details, the series is very wrong about professional chess and that's why I'm taking 5 stars from the score. It is supposed to be a story around chess, but it is too far from reality.

Beth combines characteristics of top players and champions such as Morphy, Alekhine, Capablanca and Fischer. Maybe the author considered other players, but I can notice characteristics of the four players mentioned. I will not describe similitudes because I cannot do it without many spoilers. Still, that combination makes Beth a superhuman, impossible character. She either wins or losses, but the most common result in chess among grandmasters is ""draw."" Grandmasters do not go to a top level tournament and win every single game. She is described as a female Bobby Fischer but, as a clear example, Fischer became world champion after beating Boris Spassky in a match with 21 games: 11 games ended in a draw (noticed that it is slightly more than half) and Fischer started the match with a loss. Can you tell the difference? In the real world, top players struggle a lot to win against each other.

Because someone beats a janitor, chess club trainers will not be interested in that person. Because someone wins a game against a club player, that person is not invited to play simultaneous games. Players don't win their first tournaments and become known by the chess community overnight. Professional players (and almost any player) know that drugs kill your games, even eating the wrong food before a game interferes with your lucidity to play. I've been playing chess since I was 8 years-old and I feel very disappointed by the way The Queen's Gambit treat chess.

Finally, the story is written to attract Americans and especially American females. I'm not American and, probably, my grammar tells you that English is not my native language. U.S. players were not outstanding at chess during the years of the story. Bobby Fischer was the exception, and he is one person, not the entire country. Soviet players (it was the Soviet Union until 1991) were by far the best. From 1948 till 1991 all champions were Soviets except Fischer. Soviets were followed by European players. U.S. players were far behind. The strongest female player of all times is Judit Polgar, and she is Hungarian. I do not remember a single notorious American female player. A character like Beth Harmon never existed, especially because she is so exaggerated that even Bobby Fischer looks opaque next to her abilities.

Overall, the story is amusing as fiction but not a bit credible about the life of chess masters. Netflix did well involving Kasparov and Pandolfini as consultants to make games look realistic, unfortunately their influence was on chess sets, game positions, jargon and not on the story itself because the story came from an American novel.",5

"I went into this with high hopes, since I enjoyed the original Harry Potter novels and the resultant movies a great deal.

But about 30 minutes into ""Fantastic Beasts,"" I realized I was being bludgeoned by a movie that is ridiculously long on special effects and visuals, and woefully short on story and genuine character development, unlike the original books and movies.

Alas, the Potter wizarding world was been infected with the same greed and hubris that overran Middle Earth in the wake of the Lord of the Rings juggernaut. The Hobbit, a simple, lovely, one-volume children's story was over-inflated into a bloated three-movie monstrosity.

And now, the Potter universe is being stomped and punched and bled to death in the same manner.

"After watching the first season (10 Episodes) of the 2018 remake of Lost In Space, I have to say I have mixed feelings about it, First the good things (1) The effects are actually very good, the CGI is realistic and wouldn't look out of place in a big Budget Movie. (2) The design of the Robot and it's ability to transform is very impressive (3) The locations for the Planet (filmed in Vancouver) look Stunning. (4) Most of the cast are good Actors. (5) The music and sound effects are all good (even though the theme tune is a revamp of the original) Now the Bad (1) Every Episode seems to have a similar plot, with one or several members of the family accidentally getting into a life threatening situation then suddenly finding a way out of it at the last minute (Just the odd episode where they don't nearly get killed would be nice) (2) Apart from the character of Don no one else seems to have a sense of Humor (3) The Original Doctor Smith was Devious and Cowardly but also likable, the new Doctor Smith seems to be a Sociopath who would kill anyone that gets in her way and is annoying rather than likable. (4) The Robot can repair itself, Fly spaceships, beat anything in a fight and yet somehow easily submits to a Human master and does everything the Human tells it to do. (5) Rather than just the Robinson family being Lost In Space in the Jupiter 2 there are several Jupiter Space Crafts full of people on the same Planet, I would prefer it when it was just the Robinsons the Robot (and Smith) like the original series. I hope they make a second Season, and put right the faults they made in the first season. I haven't put any major spoilers here as most of what I have mentioned you will pick up from the trailers.",6
"Really looked forward to this movie, however with 45 mins left of this flick I am that bored and confused I'm now writing this review! The opening 15 mins were great, I'm here thinking this is another Deadpool style action comedy, however 1 hour 30 in, the only comedy is the plot and script, it's just friggin awful. I am so bored by it, this is an insomniacs cure! $150mil budget, someone been taken for a ride! Don't know yet how the film ends, but quite frankly I don't care, I have for the last 20 mins been clock watching to see how long is left before it's over, feels a bit like I am on death row just waiting for the hangman to release the trap, please Netflix, stop this awful attempt at making movies, it's just painful! Ryan, seriously! This is how you wish your career to go? 6 Underground? I'd prefer it being the whole cast underground, on the premise they never ever resurface!",4
"I really don't know what to call this series anymore! It's like the writers purposefully trying to write the witcher character out of their script!

I only gave 6 because i love henry cavil as the main character and for the games i played as a kid.

But the series su*cks! I want to watch the witcher not yenifer or whatever the .ell is her name! Or the stupid teenager white haired doll! The games were about killing monsters, making potions, scary locations... this one is about empowering female teenagers?? Wasn't the witcher enough to carry the series?

I am not watching this anymore, 2 episodes of the 3rd series and i was done!",6
"Science Fiction works best when it sprinkles an element of actual science onto a canvas and then let's the imagination do the rest. Anything is possible right?

This film however, drags you by the hair into a classroom, forcefully inserts the torn pages of science textbooks into your mouth, scribbles something ridiculous on the blackboard, urinates in the corner and then wanders out half way through muttering something dumb about love. That's all before Matt Damon turns up to ruin your day.

I won't even talk about the ending...

I love real science documentaries and science fiction films in equal measures. But they should not climb into bed with each other. The offspring will not be pretty as is the proof here.

Honestly I really did want to like this film, on paper it would tick every one of my boxes, but I'm more concerned now for the mental well being of everyone who has rated this so highly and I really don't get the cult like following of certain film cast or directors. It is definitely life changing, but not in a good way.

On the other hand, the visuals and the soundtrack are both fantastic hence the rating of 5. If we could do a people's cut of the movie with no dialogue, no acting, no plot, just shots of space and beautiful frozen alien planet landscapes, then I would give this 10 without a moments hesitation.

Do watch it though and make up your own mind, but please don't say it's the best film ever made or any pukey nonsense like that.",5
"I looked forward to seeing this, but I gave up in episode four. It seems to be unnecessary under-acting and dark. It was the lead female actress who was the main problem. It seems she was the same character as in Ex Machina, a robot. One ""poor me"" expression the whole time, and the dialogues were hurtful to listen to. I think she sounds like I would of I tried to act, and I'm bad at it.",2

"From the very beginning of this show, i made it related with my life. This is literally a masterpiece. This has possibly surpassed dragon ball z for me.",9
"Really below average film that somehow manages an average rating of over 7. Jay Z was the executive producer of the sound track, so it's Hip Hop and EDM set to the roaring 20's. It obviously doesn't work and comes off ridiculous. This makes the film difficult to take seriously and quite hard to get into.

The characters are unlikeable, which isn't mandatory obviously, but it makes it hard to care when this film is essentially a love story. I suspect a lot of the fanfare over this film is the 20's imagery and DiCaprio, but that's isn't enough to make this film engaging - this certainly isn't a great DiCaprio performance in any case.",4
"Ok, I haven't yet seen all the Coens but most of them and all the well-regarded ones. They don't always connect: that particular eccentric idiosyncratic mood can be hit or miss. For me, Hudsucker and Fargo are comfortably the two strongest pictures where their style finds a neat consistent connection.

Fargo is clearly the darker of the two...you know, not for kids! It almost plays like a Minnesotan homage to Pulp Fiction: graphic comic violence, exaggerated characterisation, the mundane mixed with the heavy. And it works a treat! And unlike Pulp Fiction's exclusively comic-book characterisation Fargo is anchored by a homely, modest-but-not-to-be-messed-with, believable and totally-charming pregnant Policewoman character. This twist to the 'pulp fiction' format is welcome, gives the film some sympathetic human emotion yet without utilising emotional dramatic clichés like a thousand other crime movies. The film lifts a notch every time she's on screen.

Everything else works too: the black humour lands, the scenes are nicely filmed, dialogue is great, acting from all is top: Jerry's shamelessly-fake personality is arguably the most believable characterisation after Marge. The rest are comic-book, and all drawn effectively...you can see some influence on Breaking Bad's characterisations too. It's an effective mix which adds to the slightly-surreal vibe.

Fargo doesn't quite have the epic narrative of Hudsucker Proxy but makes up for that with its more colourful mix of scenes & characters. Like Hudsucker it's a strong 8/10 in my book. They rank above the watchable but lower-scoring Coen flicks like Big Lebowski, No Country etc.

Not quite a 9+ as those are reserved for the movies which blow me away. The Coens have such a strong signature style, I'd like to see them try their hand at a fantastic-fiction genre: like horror or sci-fi. Could be something special!",8
"Never in my entire life have I seen a movie so utterly pointless and plotless ??

What are the other reviewers even on about ??!! Masterpiece ?! Tarantino at his best ?!?! Who are these people and how much have they been paid to lie so shamelessly ??

The movie has a glimmer of hope in its last 15 mins but then again the build up to the last 15 is excruciatingly painful and pointless. It makes the latest Robin Hood seem like masterpiece by contrast

Never at any point in the movie do you get invested in the characters and it seems like brad and Leo are just in it for the money and some oscars it may land them cause the academy is filled with pseudo intellectuals who may just accord them with that due to Star power !

Anyone who is recommends you to watch that movie, isn't your friend (and should be unfriended from all social networks)

Quips aside; this is Without a shadow of a doubt, this is the worst movie I've seen in a long time And will stay so for the foreseeable future.

I WANT A REFUND !!!",2
"It has been so long since I ve seen such mediocrity disguised in a very poor visual style to fake artistry.

Poor direction poor imagery Very lame special effects Music is very unbecoming What is this It could have been one episode and enough I m so bored Although I m Egyptian and a comic fan.",3
This definitely had the MCU movie feel and I'm living for it. It was more than I expected and I genuinely loved it so much. Definitely one of my favourites already.,8
"My Rating : 5/10

Great actors, good plot however doesn't deliver the punch it had the potential to.

Something to tie the ending neatly rather than keeping it ambiguous would have been nice. I'm a little disappointed.",5
"RED SPARROW. I really enjoyed this film. It kept me riveted and interested throughout. I kept trying to guess what was going to happen next, but rarely knew, and even when I did, or I thought I did, it still was fun to watch. I liked how it was very psychological, rather than a shoot-'em up. Jennifer Lawrence was excellent as always.",8
"So utterly a let down. I loved the character as a kid in the 80s, and admired the original tv character, even given the obvious mysogeny. But this movie even set those backward stereotypes back decades. Couldn't get past the dependence on a male protagonist to drive the movie, the character, and her motives. This sucked.",3
"Having seen the original Top Gun in the theaters, and then again multiple times on video over the years, I was excited to hear about the sequel and couldn't wait to see it.

I heard a lot about Maverick and how great it was. But when we went to see it (again, in the theater) I was incredibly disappointed. Perhaps it was my own fault, as I was expecting a completely new movie. Instead, what I saw was virtually a line-by-line, scene-by-scene remake of the original.

Obviously the actors have changed, but the story has not. It's literally a remake, right down to the wardrobe and locations.

If you never saw the original Top Gun, this will be a really decent movie to see. But if you did see it, be prepared to see it again.",4
"Well it ended today I don't even know what to say self.,... The one that knows it all just killed like that . Will have to wait for season 2.",7
"Early on I was hooked. For starters I did not read the book. Nor did I realize that the story is Stephen King's. So the supernatural factor came to me as a surprise. But even without the supernatural I was captivated. Believable witnesses to a murder saying, 'He did it', while other equally believable witnesses say, 'He didn't'. I did not mind the supernatural entity aspect at first. But as it began to take over the story-line I found that I could not quite get a handle on it. The entity is at times all-powerful, at other times not. The entity is said to take over peoples' bodies and minds, but it's unclear whether it can do this to one at a time, or multiple. I somehow wanted, needed, clarity. And even following the season's finale I still had none. Of course it's possible that the series will return for another season during which certain questions like mine will be answered. But still. I'm sorry I dedicated so much time to it.",4
"Who would have guessed that the directing of a Spielberg biopic made by Spielberg would be good? The actors were nicely chosen and they did a good job, the music was great. All in all the film was very well made. So the only questions remaining are: is the story good? And did you like it?

The story is a coming of age story based on Spielberg's own life. It doesn't cover his entire life, just his childhood and until he realizes he is going to make movies. As stories go, it's not very original, hell, it's derivative of reality after all, and I suspect portraying both his parents as geniuses and wonderful people was a little self-indulgent. Yet it's a good story, one that shows a Jewish boy growing up fascinated with the lens through which to experience reality. His father was in IT, his mother was an artist, so he got the exactness and technical curiosity of the father and the art bug from the mother.

But did I like it? And the answer is a resounding yes. It is clear that the film means something to the creator and so he didn't crap all over it *cough*crystal skull*cough*. There is a lot of attention to details, focus on people and their interactions without it getting boring. It doesn't mean some people are not going to get bored watching it, but I wonder what exactly did you want more exciting in a biopic than what you already get: family, love, drama, personal growth and discovery, even high school shenanigans. So both me and my wife liked it a lot.

I expect some people might get disappointed because they expected a correlation between Spielberg movies and his personal experience and instead they are just getting the story of the source of the passion for movies and nothing else. There is a dirty trick at the end, though, when John Ford, played for a minute by David Lynch, gives young Fabelman the first directing advice: if the horizon it on the top or bottom of the picture, it's interesting. If it's in the middle, it's boring. It's dirty because it says ""now rewatch the whole two hours and a half and look for horizons"". Well I won't do that, but if you read this before watching the film, go for it!

Bottom line: a good and well crafted movie, nothing fancy or splashy, but very personal to Spielberg. I enjoyed it.",8
Foggy is the only piece in the entirety of the show that kept me interested. Matts character development is hard to watch. Karen... I don't even know where to begin.,1
"Movie is really confusing, I like that is somewhat different but it's just confusing.",3
"Sony opted for the PG13 eating which hindered the entire movie making it a comedy. Venom is not meant to be a comedy. Thank God Tom Hardy was in this film as he was the only thing keeping it alive. The plot was non existent, there was absolutely no depth and the script was written by a 12 year old for 12 year olds.

Such huge potential wasted, very underwhelming and honestly very dissapointing.",5
"To be fair, I've only seen 3 episodes. I HOPE It gets better. But so far, it's a horrible show. It could be a slow grow and get better. But so far, this show sucks. I was hoping for way more, given both their powers. Please Disney/Marvel, don't let me be sucked in any further without a better story to unfold.",3
"I dont like watch always drinking and eating scene... too much beer and coffee.. I cannot focus the series. It is not a good marketing policy, I dont wanna watch ad.",8
"Although for many this is known as 'that film with Harry Styles in' it is in fact a very good film, from the creative mind of Christopher Nolan, who did the 'Dark Knight' trilogy.

With good performances from Mark Rylance and Kenneth Branagh, this film flies along at a swift pace, with some great filming during the battle sequences.

It's far more than just 'that film with Harry Styles in' it is perhaps the standout film of the year so far.",6
"Watching 1917, the audience might discern its apparent single-shot presentation, a testament to director Sam Mendes' remarkable craftsmanship. Is it filmed in one shot? A minimum of 34 discreet edits were subtly introduced to create the illusion of a continuous shot. This prompts speculation about the extent of the set, given the limited number of cuts, particularly within a wartime backdrop.

Transitioning to the narrative and cast evaluation, the film embarks on a riveting journey. The ensemble, including delivers a commendable performance. The artistic nuances employed to bolster the script, characters, pivotal moments, and conflicts resonate as an exquisite touch.

The film doesn't merely captivate with its story but also portrays a natural splendor, subtly showcasing its essence. I couldn't recall watching any movie with only 2 female characters including a baby girl.

My experience was satisfying although it doesn't rely heavily on suspense or thrills. It is a delightful watch!",8
"A mainstream Hollywood movie for those who like superficial, pretentious movies. This film glorifies wealth, even if it has a few lines about how empty the rich's lives truly are. If you're like me and prefer European art-house and American independent filmmaking then this is one difficult viewing experience. The emphasis of style over substance is one of many problems for this Great Gatsby. It is visually dazzling, and there's music running through practically every scene (including bland hip-hop music in a period piece of the 1920s). But the acting is so artificial, so overwrought as to be almost cartoonish. DiCaprio sounds like Marlon Brando, with this strange accent. Completely emotionally uninvolving. I saw it here in New York City on the Saturday afternoon of its opening weekend in a packed theater and had the feeling that the audience thought, ""Good but it tries way too hard to be something special"" as we left the theater. And that's being generous. This movie's target audience is 12-27 year olds. Some tactless product placement. At times, this movie is MTVesque (and before you mistake this as a compliment, I mean this in a bad way). And finally, though it aspires to be a huge box office hit like Titanic, it surely won't manage to do so because it doesn't have the emotional impact that Titanic has. It's wooden and hollow by comparison. 3 generous stars: 2 for the visuals and 1 for the effort.",3
"Giving this show more than a 7 means that the reviewer either belong somehow to The Witcher's industry or is still in teenager age. The series is full of logical mistakes. I couldn't stop shaking my head watching it. Just 1 example: Geralt of Rivia doesn't want to be followed by the annoying bard (which I can understand, I wouldn't either). But instead of shaking him off, he rides his horse so slowly that the bard can walk next to him and ""blabla"" him all the time. Instead of galloping away the witcher punches the bard in the stomach and continues his way at slow pace. Seriously?! After having watched the full season 1, I didn't feel any thrill. There is nothing novel or witty in this series. The story is totally boring with the usual cliches related to ""middle-age"" would-be fantasy epics. Finally to the character Geralt of Rivia himself: Looking sad and bored all the time, without talking much, doesn't make you look smart: it infects the viewer who gets bored as well.",1
"I was never a real fan of the Marvel universe but I admit that the style of is not bad to see. So I had to watch the film at the cinema with my family and it was a real nightmare: a mixture of horror and fantasy that doesn't work, what happens has cringe scenes, rotten humor, the film is super long and I I'm not a fan of the actors at all. The only good point is the fantastic style of the film.",4
"Alright people, I am spreading the words out now - URI - The Surgical Strike is the Best and Smartest War Movie ever made in our country. Practically and Strictly made for urban audiences, this film marks a historical turn around for Indian film making.. Those frequent Hand-held Camera Movements, those never before seen Visual effects with long range Sniper Attacks or tactically placing Drones and above all, no unnecessary Emotional Drama but Superfast-paced Cold Blooded and Gripping War flick..!! I would say two names - Vicky Kaushal who will surely find his Stardom with this one and Aditya Dhar, the Debutant Director is a volcano of talent and his homework and research reflected totally on Silver-Screen..!! Salute to you..!! And Lastly, I don't know how much the story is exaggerated or dramatized but one thing I would tell for sure that Indian Film-making's future is in safe hands and they will march ahead with their head held high far and far away..!!! My Rating is 10/10 and only rating was cut cause I wanted a bit more from the supporting characters as this film was almost a One Man Show - Vicky Kaushal..!!!!",10
Over the top action movie that was bored amd hard to watch. The one thing that kept getting my attention was all the bmw advertising if y'all know what I'm sayin. Mission Possible every time in every movie!,5
"This movie is just a bunch of ""meh."" It tells the story of Jordan Belfort robotically. It has neither enough funny moments to make it a comedy, nor depth to make it a drama.

I think of Leonardo DiCaprio's role in ""Catch Me If You Can."" Another con artist movie. There, the main character's motives were developed, you saw his struggles.

In Wolf of Wall Street, they just cover what happened. Not WHY. I get zero insight into the characters. One of the first things they teach you about writing is ""show, don't tell."" This movie is all tell.

I have no idea why this movie even exists. There are so many interesting stories to be told about this situation - the movie manages to capture none of them.",3
"Don't listen to critics! As an entertainer this bops hard! 1.5hrs of comedy, action and bizzare wickedness. I'd expect nothing less from a movie about an alien who is basically an angsty teen living in the body of an average joe loser trying to get by. The contradictions are hilarious and interesting. The movie doesn't let your focus wander off for one second and moves swiftly. I love it.",10
"This movie is the definition of word ""overrated"". There have been movies with this type of theme & line of story and theories that they get hacked in the mind of watchers but this movie isn't one of them but is trying to be & it totally is not, just bores you. This may be bizarre that some movie with this high criticiser score & one is this down & empty, but THIS IS A OVERRATED MOVIE, IS ALL.",5
"I love Woody Harrelson. But seriously, this script? Trite, predictable, humourless. And proof that it's not what you know, it's who you know. And you really know a film's bad when in the final dramatic moments, when life or death is in the balance, you just couldn't be less interested in which character lives or dies. My kids enjoyed it, so there's that. And based on that, it was £16 (Sky download) well spent, because it wasn't £32 spent at the cinema.",2
"Big Tarantino fan, but this was boring, which is the last thing I expect from him.",3
"Fake Russian accent (and not even one sentence in Russian!), the worst acting and the most embarrassing sex scene I have ever seen on screen. I still can't believe Jeremy Irons (one of the best living actors) was willing to participate in this. I hope he got well paid.. I usually like Jenifer Laurence - That's the reason I went to see ""Red Sparrow"" last night - but this..? For God sake, She has the same look on her face for 2 long hours and 15 minutes! The look of ""let's get it over with already""...",1
"Boring, funny only because Gossling played in it, don't understand how such a boring, even stupid movie made so much money, the people who watched it must be desperate; i have a very good sense of humor and an iq above average and i don't understand the success of this movie; plus, i never saw a good movie with Ferrell in it, and Barbie its no exception, very disappointed i was although i didn't expect much from this movie, despite Robbie and Gossling playing in it.

If i would be Robbie or Gossling i would be ashamed for playing in such a cliche movie, a movie who takes too far the feminist movement of the latest 3-4 years.

And i'm a woman....",2
"You take 5 planes, 5-8 ships, an empty beach and some men and then you call it Dunkirk. How can this movie cost so much? There is no action and nothing historical about this movie. You just wait and wait for anything to happen but no. There is nothing of the horror the soldiers had to go through and at no fighting at all. I was so disappointed and bored during this movie.",3
Story is very simple. Chris Hemsworth did his part. But why not using original bengali accent? Most part of the story is based on Dhaka. And we saw people speaks in bengali which is in indian accent. so funny. It wasnt that much what I expected.,4
"This movie is really not very good. Russell Crowe is not believable as a nerdy young Princeton student; very forced. The one twist half way through the movie is interesting for about 30 seconds, then it drags on to a anti-climatic conclusion. It is obvious that the writers and creators of the film have no idea what higher education is really like. Save your money and rent it when it's on video in about 4 months.",1
"I am sorry but this is a poor Kaufman imitation. With much less talent, taste brain power or ideas. It could maybe have worked as an anime, but this is a c-level movie also known as trash. I am sorry i waisted my time.",4
"I watched up to season 1 episode 6 at which I reached my breaking point. My gut tells me there's an amazing and interesting story to be told, but the budget wouldn't let it shine on film. It seems like a typical volume-of-content-over-quality Netflix show.",3
"What a movie, not describe in a words such a masterpiece, well directed well executed by Mr. Bacchan sir,must watch in the theater 👏👌nice 👍.such a tribute to Barce sir,good peoples are still alive on the earth.",10
"If you are already a fan of comic book superhero films, then you'll already have watched this and you'll no doubt have enjoyed it. I'm not reviewing this for you. This is for those who are wondering if they should watch it.

Do you enjoy Powell & Pressburger? Have you watched A Matter of Life & Death and Black Narcissus, or perhaps the Colour of Pomegranates? Maybe you enjoyed Watchmen and figure this will be in the same vein. You might have really enjoyed Shutter Island and Revenant. If you haven't watched MCU before, and worry you may find Infinity Wars a predictable series of shallow plot cliches, unengaging lead characters you just can't care about, and too-obvious tropes - you're probably right. You'll need to be totally invested in the Marvel universe to watch this film. As for something unexpected - there's one short dreamlike red segment at 2h10m that has artistic credibility. The rest is CGI by the numbers.

Even the music is annoyingly cliched. I don't notice the music in a good film when it works, but it just felt like a computer wrote this score.

Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson, Hemsworth and Ruffalo are excellent - as always, but you'll find they have much better opportunities in other films, than this.",3
Did not like the way how Hindu deities were depicted,1
"An endless waiting for a mediocre and easily predictible end

This time the saying ""what's important, is the journey not the destination"" doesn't apply. The journey is worst than the pathetic destination

Luckily for us, KG and Sandler are here to make this boring scenario a little easier to watch",3
Find myself getting bored and not Tahoe nagged probably because the character development is not all there because the Variant takes on a new character every 15 minutes. Don't really know who we are rooting for or going with the storyline. Hopefully gets better as the season carries on.,6
I absolutely love everything about this show I could just watch it over and over again and the scenery is breathtaking.,10

"Thor is arguably the one Marvel superhero I just cannot take seriously, no matter how hard I try. That has most likely something to do with the fact that I'm Norwegian, and so I take the mythology very seriously. If there is one thing the MCU doesn't need, it's the whole Asgard thing. It feels out of place to put mythology into a superhero franchise, and on top of that, I really didn't like how it looked in this film. The locations and outfits all look ridiculous, and it took a lot of enjoyment away. I also think that the story itself is rather bland. The performances are great, and the characters are alright, but it's in service of such a mindless story that is doesn't help much. The final fight towards the end also feels meaningless and unimpactful. This is definietly one of the weaker MCU movies, which I doubt I will think much about again",4
Big fan of the family Addams. I was very happy for this new serie hope for an seasons 2. And the direction of Tim burton is perfect for the crazy world of Addams. The acting are very good we can get really attached by the characters and Jenna ortega play very good Wednesday by her acting how she move and look and how she talk the department of art and light did also a big work I like in the room the line between the two roommates everything room can show the personality of the owner. They are very good characters development and the story are very interesting to see congratulation for all the team for the result it's very good.,8
"I'm baffled by this film's popularity. Apart from some cool flight scenes (which get tiresome pretty quickly), this sad excuse for a film has nothing to offer but ""remember that?"" references to the first film, unearned sentimentality and the gruesome spectacle of whatever is lurking in Tom Cruise's eyes.",2
"Really? This movie has been getting great reviews, and I was really excited to see it. I get that it's cool that there is a strong female lead, but that doesn't automatically make it a good movie. At the beginning of the movie, the acting and writing is painfully clichè, which is rare in modern superhero movies. It gradually gets better, but there are still parts that make you want to die throughout the movie. I don't know how all of the rotten tomatoes critics are overlooking the plot holes in this film. There are probably more plot holes in this movie than planets in the universe. The writing is really cliché. Before a character does something important, they have a dramatic, five minute speech. There is one part where an evil person shouts: ""I WILL DESTROY YOU!"" I was laughing really hard at how bad the writing and acting was in that scene. It then launched into a fully CGI fight. And as for the story: it isn't really that good, and there is a plethora of plot holes. The acting is mediocre, and it is really lacking humor.",3
"Unfortunately the approach to mash up a heath ledger style pained hero with COMEDY is a big miss. Some great fx and some really good set pieces and dialogue is entertaining from time to time, but feels like it was edited by committee.",3
"There is a bunch of ""Agents"" flying round the globe in a plane doing ""missions"". Secret Organisations, Alien Artifacts, superpowers. Somehow the X Files popped up in my head: mysterious happenings are investigated, aliens exist and a bunch of SciFi fantasies also come true. Solid entertainment. Not a Science Fiction nor Superhero story though but a mystery series. (Errata: this was mid 1st season - it takes a while for the common SF ""superpower"" elements to kick in yet they eventually do)

True Science Fiction? Jules Verne makes an awful read mostly: a voyage to the moon, an adventure 20000 leagues under the sea - described in minuscule details. In so many details in fact that the story reads like a highly technical report at times. If you read Philipp K Dick - the father of so many SF movies - you'll find simple ideas at the core of many stories. Nothing new actually - seeing the future for instance is an ancient idea. What makes it special is the world around these phenomena: it is actually thought through. How would the world react to someone having such abilities? How do ""normal people"" or ""the society"" interact with that? To put it in a nutshell: SF thinks things through. It takes a dream and takes it as serious as it gets, escalating it until a whole new world comes into view.

This series however states that ""the events of New York"" (aka the movie) have changed the world yet we never see how normal life has changed. It's but a bunch of secret organizations and a handful of gifted individuals that popped up while the whole world of everyday life apparently remained entirely familiar and unchanged. After an alien invasion. Yeah, sure... That's actually more ""fantastic"" than any ""alien artifact"" or ""superpower"" could ever be. It's down to the root conservative in the extreme. That's not SF at all. There is no vision of a different world but merely a bunch of ""mysterious phenomena"". Thus it is a mediocre series with cheesy superpower SF elements. Mostly good if mindless entertainment without any hint of philosophical reflection (as commonly found in SF). It could do with a darker atmosphere, the characters are too clean and stereotypical yet I really enjoyed watching it so far.",6
"The cinematography is great and so is Henry Cavill with good action and drama and hence my 8, but the story telling goes off pretty often unlike GOT which builds up each Character, plots and flashbacks. It's more of a popcorn binge watching show than a serious one. There is heaps of potential for the show and I hope the next season brings just that !!!!",8

"Full disclosure:I thought both ""The Virgin Suicides"" and Sophia Coppola's short film ""Lick the Star"" were a whole lot of nothing. I'm a fan of narrative filmmaking, something that Sophia herself has fessed up to not being terribly interested in. On the other hand, I had higher hopes for this film, mostly because I had just gone to Japan (and Tokyo) for the first time this year, and I really like both Bill Murray and Scarlet Johansson.

Alas, Sophia failed to deliver, yet again. ""Lost in Translation"" is a mostly dreary exercise. I would say it's just a bunch of scenes, one following the other to no discernable point, except even the ""scenes"" themselves are mostly empty.

Please spare the prose defining how Bill and Scarlett are each ""lost"" while fiddling around in one very swanky hotel. I would rather say that both are, unfortunately, playing shallow characters from which we never gleam any inner life over the film's running time. They're bored because they're boring.

Not only do Murray and Johansson play fairly drab characters, they manage to spend their time with possibly the least interesting people in Tokyo, with Coppola pal ""Charlie Brown"" leading the way. Unless you're taken in by that nexus of downtown bohemia and jet set glam slumming through the night as only people without day jobs can, they might as well as been in a foreign-language Omaha for all they get out of Japan.

And the shame of it is Bill Murray deserves a vehicle like this, one for him to reveal his improv talents and that deep streak of melancholy he has that has only grown with age. His maturity is reflected in that he relies less and less on shtick now:he knows how to hold an audience with the smallest behaviors and reactions. We get a demonstration of this here, but to no end.

Which leads me to ask those here singing ""Lost""'s praises:what's the matter with you people? Am I one of the few to see and admit that the emperor has no clothes?

There seems to be this sense of satisfaction here, that a) if you ""get"" this film it is because you are operating on a higher plane and b) if you don't, why, you're just too conditioned to ""commercial"" moviemaking and your senses too dulled by American bombast to ""appreciate"" the quiet and sensitivity that Coppola has instilled her film with.

As a card-carrying fan of Taratino/Oliver Stone school of filmmaking, let me say ""baloney."" Let me only point to Clint Eastwood's ""Mystic River"" which manages to provides strong characters, a definitive sense of place, and plenty of quiet time with its actors all the while servicing a compelling narrative.

However, I do also enjoy the small character studies that ""Lost in Translation"" aspires to be. However, in this case, we never learn anything more about Murray's movie star or Johansson's young wife from about 10 minutes into the movie up until the end. All we do is observe them in the strictest sense, but we never really ""see"" anything.

None of the dialouge provides any further insight into these people. In the films that I like, the people in them express themselves in such a way that we learn more about them as we go. In one scene Bill tells his wife on the phone he wants to get healthier. The next scene he orders beer with his lunch. There's an illusion of an connection between the two:you'd get a hernia trying to make a real one.

My advice is to see the works of Eric Rohmer, who knows how to do this stuff right.",4
"""Ready Player One"" is a science fiction action-adventure directed and produced by Oscar winner Steven Spielberg and written by Zak Penn (""The Avengers""), Eric Eason (""A Better Life"") and Ernest Cline, based on Cline's own 2011 debut novel of the same name. The movie is heralded as the ""E.T."" director's return to his sci-fi and youth-centered movie roots after a series of historically-based projects. The plot and its various other elements, make ""Ready Player One"" feel like a frenetic, 1980s-inspired, youth-obsessed combination of ""Tron"", ""Avatar"", ""Guardians of the Galaxy"" & ""Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"".

The main character is Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan), an orphaned teen who lives in ""the stacks"", towers of mobile homes on stilts in Columbus, Ohio, the most populous city in the severely over-populated country. Like Wade, it seems that everyone escapes the depressing and dilapidated world around them by spending most of their days in a virtual reality world known as the OASIS. The OASIS was created by tech genius James Halliday (Oscar winner Mark Rylance) as an escape from his own crippling shyness.

As the movie opens, Halliday is deceased, but before he died, he created a game within the OASIS, which offers any user the opportunity to unravel a complex set of clues and accumulate three keys which would give that person complete control of the OASIS and control of Halliday's company - and its assets. Of course, winning this game is the goal of everyone - individuals and corporations. Innovative Online Industries (IOI), headquartered in Columbus and led by the obsessive CEO Nolan Sorrento (Ben Mendelsohn), has hired a virtual army of tech experts & online gamers to ensure IOI comes out on top.

Wade is as obsessed with Halliday as Sorrento is with gaining control of the OASIS, but like Sorrento, Wade won't be able to win this high-stakes game alone. In the game, Wade is known as Parzival, an avatar which, like that of most other people, is better-looking, more confident, more able and more powerful than Wade is in real life. Early in his quest, Parzival meets and becomes attracted to Art3mis (Olivia Cooke), who likes him too, but has even more personal reasons for wanting to win the contest.

The two end up becoming part of the ""High Five"", which also includes Sho (Philip Zhao), Daito (Win Morisaki) and Wade's best friend in the game, Aech (Lena Waithe). While simultaneously competing against each other and working together, this scrappy group must navigate a maze of clues based on Halliday's personal life, including his former partnership with Ogden Morrow (Simon Pegg) - and a seemingly infinite stream of 1980s pop culture references (music, fictional characters and movies like ""Back to the Future"" - to beat Sorrento and his main henchman, i-R0k (T.J. Miller) to the ultimate prize.

""Ready Player One"" is fun, exciting, creative... and mind-numbing. The CGI's impressive... in a sensory overload way. The plot's good but can be hard to follow for non-gamers. Too much of a good thing. ""B-""",5
"I couldn't finish the first episode...I will try to give it another shot later, but so far there's nothing I liked. Slow, boring and Monochromatic....",1
This movie is AMAZING even to this day. How can you not like/love Al Pacino as Michael. My all time favorite movie.,10
"Good phase, not wasting too much time building a background stories. Although, as the movie that already have 1 movie before, it kinda feel that they still using the same formula with additional a ""fast phase"" storyline.

Good script, some of it. Feel too much sometimes. But still fun.

This can be really really good, if the fight part have the same amount of concern like communication part between edie and venom. I mean, venom doesn't even show any weapon in the fight, come on.

Can be much much better tho.",7
"I saw this film with my wife just after we were married but not yet had kids. We saw quite a few very good films during that 2/3 year period. This certainly is up there with the best! I would recommend this to anyone who likes slightly offbeat films with a few twists along the way. William H Macey and Frances McDormand in particular give superb performances. It is a typical Coen brothers effort, actually it is one of their best in my opinion. Although it states in the titles that this was a true story I don't believe that it actually was. However it is a very entertaining if slightly unbelievable story. Go and see it but not if you are squeamish!",9
"First off, i hate to be that guy, I really do. The Fault in our stars, or TFIOS for short, really did play up the tumblr, edgy teen culture. For those who are familiar, will definitely understand. For those who can not fathom the utter confusion that is click clacking from my keyboard, let me explain.

TFIOS really did have some questionable script writing and just weird, trying too hard metaphors. Augustus, the young boyfriend to fellow cancer patient and main character; Hazel, followed the cheap bad boy gone good image, topping it all off posing with a cigarette. Because, you know, it's definitely NOT to appeal to the edgy ""look at me, Im young and I smoke, i'm so deep"" scene.

HOWEVER, the movie is good. very good. It's sad. Very sad. There's something oddly heartwarming about a young couple who fight through pain together. The pain in this story however is the fact the couple share cancer. Although, it indeed hide the gore and scars of the devastating disease, it needs to be remembered it is a love story, NOT primarily about having cancer.

To keep in relatively short, Shailene Woodley (Hazel) great performance,, Ansel Elgort (Augustus) stole the show at the petrol station (you'll see) , Nat Wolf (Isaac) (Gus' friend) one touching scene, Parents (mum: Laura Dern, had great moments) (Dad: Sam Trammell, about as moving as a sleeping snorlax without the poke flute).

I suggest watching this with plenty of tissues as this will make you cry. Too many times to count. The soundtrack complemented the movie very well and, in the end, shows that an egg on it's own may be repulsive, if you cook that with other ingredients, you get a lovely sweet cake, like this movie.

The movie is sweet.",3
"My wife and I are watching it right now. I'm 38 and I find it to be very boring and childish. Weak plot, weak dialogue, weak characters all around. Cameos are boring. It feels like a succession of endless boring magic fights. I can't wait for it to be over so we can start watching another episode of Star Trek Strange New Worlds. It's the end sequence right now as I type this and I couldn't care less. Not even paying attention anymore.",4
"Russian doll is not your every day basic series. It is complicated and reality gets mixed up. In S1 it is still a basic plot however, about reliving parts of your life after you die. But its is done in a exceptional way, where Natascha Lyonne is a very annoying self-centered person. Also styling is way of from what is common but visuals and musical score are amazing. Is S1 still comprehensible, in S2 all rules go overboard and it becomes like a Dali painting, absurd, weird and confusing, but still amazing. They mess up with time and that fires back ofcourse.

Natascha Lyonne, but also all other actors do an amazing job portraying their character. Many of the characters aren't pleasant persons or someone you would relate to, but that adds to the absurdity of this show. They are often confused, weird or egocentric.

It's an amazing show.",8
"I will be quick. The show is exceptionally entertaining. Oscar Isac's acting was phenomenal, his talent and charisma really made even the most mediocore of scenes stand out. Overall, Steven Grant (or anyhow you want to call him) is an amazing wellwritten lovable protagonist.

My main complaint however, lies in the poor pacing which I think undermined the story. We certainly needed at least one more episode to flesh out a few things. I am pretty sure this is due to the limited budget, something that really shows in most fightscenes and cgi elements. The editing is very problematic too(although it might not bother most people) It really bugs me because we could have something almost perfect imo. I am looking forward to s2 in hopes that marvel will allow the creators of the show achhive what I believe they wanted with this season(storytelling-wise).",7
"OK, the plot is more than a bit on the far-fetched side and is initially a bit difficult to follow - but it gets slightly clearer as the episodes go by. The first three instalments are actually rather boring, but closer to the end the storyline becomes better paced and more thrilling to watch. But compared to the last series of ""Line of duty"", this feels mostly phoned in.

And why cast someone like Richard Madden in the lead role? Richard Wooden would be a better name for him. He's got two (2) facial expressions: 1. Angry and sullen, 2. Severely constipated. A 30-year old police officer with a 10-year old kid seems a bit unlikely as well.

And don't get me started on his mumbling voice and unintelligible, monotone scottish accent, speaking without moving his lips at all. Totally unwatchable without subtitles, like so many British series of late, like Charlotte Riley in ""Press"". Madden is almost as bad as Tom Hardy in this regard.

With a better lead actor, I would have scored this show an 8.",6
What a movie! Every minute is a suspense and one of the best south Indian movies ever. From story to screenplay to performance would just make to sit on an edge even on a couch. Must watch movie.,10
"The duration and point of story are enough to spent time for watch a movie, marvel need to create a 3+ movie, marvel is for kids too, not only movie for 13+, 90 minutes is maximum time to spent movie with kids, over all the movie was fun and rediculous characters for new venom and others such a enjoy thing to watch. I hope venom 3 will more than both of those, for the story, new characters and best final battle, i hope more than venom 1 and venom 2. Wicked character in this time more exciting to watch and satisfyingly to destroy all thing all screen theater, all the best thing i hope in venom 3 will be hard to explain which side venom is, bad or good, for save the day or destroy all entire days, and i think what it is and i still enjoy the good and bad side of Venom.",9
"Of course I had to watch ""The Last of Us"", since it was based on the game. And also I was somewhat thrilled that they had Pedro Pascal to portray the role of Joel. And I did enjoy playing the first of the games, though I never have tried part II.

And of course with ""The Last of Us"" being a thing that has infected - or zombies - in it, then I had to watch it given my fascination with all things zombie.

The storyline in ""The Last of Us"" is adequate, and it is somewhat true to the story in the game. However, you shouldn't expect a series based solely and entirely on the contents from the games though. That would make for a dull experience.

I enjoyed the story in ""The Last of Us"", because it is a diverse one that brings the audience to many different locations and for different purposes. So the series, thankfully, doesn't get too monotonous throughout its first season.

The acting performances in ""The Last of Us"" are good, and they have a good cast ensemble for portraying the various roles. Pedro Pascal does a good job as Joel. And while I am unfamiliar Bella Ramsey, playing Ellie, I think she does a good job. Sure, the Ellie character is somewhat different than what is portrayed in the game, but it is a minor issue really.

Something that works well in favor of ""The Last of Us"" is the environment that the story takes place in. Lots of nice locations that definitely look run down, in disrepair and having been reclaimed mostly by Mother Earth. It looked and felt like a post apocalyptic setting, and I enjoyed that.

Visually then ""The Last of Us"" was quite good. Nice effects and the infected look great.

However, ""The Last of Us"" isn't all praise and woohoo's though. For a series based on a computer game with infected/zombies, then you get to see surprisingly few of them throughout the episodes. Sure, there was one episode with a heap of infected, but throughout most of the episodes of season one you don't even get to see a single infected. Somewhat disappointing actually, because it somewhat holds the series back from further greatness.

""The Last of Us"" is definitely enjoyable, entertaining and watchable. However, it was just lacking in the threat of the infected that apparently brought about the end of civilization.

My rating of ""The Last of Us"", of season one at least, lands on a six out of ten stars.",6
"Back to the 90's we go in this highly forgettable action flick that obeys every cliche and adds exactly nothing to the genre. Brooding tough guy? Check. With a layer of scars and calluses from countless unnamed wars? Check. That are hiding a the soft centre of a genuinely good man? Also check. Right, let's have a quick flashback to hint at his tragic backstory and explain why he's so broken and self destructive. Done. And give him one last mission - a rescue, someone vulnerable that reminds him of his tragic loss. The list of action tropes goes on and on - right down to the pretty lady, the hint of new beginnings, of a relationship that can happen once the hero's dealt with his demons. *slaps forehead and sighs* There's just no reason for this thing to exist - other than to prove Hemsworth can do more than Thor. Which he probably can, but this does little for his case. The plot is purille; Rescue drug dealer's kid, oh no, we've been double-crossed (imagine that) but we'll carry on despite the fact he's nothing to us because it's the right thing to do. Even if that means killing hundreds of police with families who are just doing their jobs, a whole lot of innocent bystanders, truck loads of bad guys and a few highly trained professional mercenaries. This makes not a lick of sense considering at one point the mercenaries actually say they couldn't keep the kid safe even if they could pull off the rescue. This is glossed over at the end. The characters are flat and predictable. We know the bad guys are bad because, like Bond villains, they just stand around throwing kids off buildings and doing evil stuff. A lot has been said about the action but really, it's just OK. It's mostly down to shaky camera work making everything seem faster and more frenetic. The location is the film's one interesting point. And also the source of some of the problems with the action. There's a few chase scenes that anyone who's tried to drive in India would know are impossible. Pedestrians etc jump out of the way like in a bad computer game. And in one scene a speeding vehicle comes out of absolutely nowhere to hit poor Chris. Despite the fact we've just see that all the narrow streets are blocked. Inconvenient. But don't worry, we'll just take this truck that's conveniently appeared - from the same narrow alleyways that we've just seen to be jam-packed with people and overturned stalls and carts and whatnot. And drive off at speed. The simplistic plot goes from dumb to dumber as we head towards the inevitable showdown on the bridge we caught a glimpse of at the beginning. It's the typical 'we have to get from A to B' scenario via the hardest way possible ignoring any possible alternatives. ""The police have all the bridges blocked? And for some obscure reason you can't get a chopper to us until we get to the other side?! Umm, what about a boat?"" ""Shhhh. You're spoiling it."" This is anachronistic, dated, dumb action that simply shouldn't be. After watching 6 Underground which felt fresh and interesting (for a popcorn action movie), you have to wonder why Netflix greenlit such a backward leap for the genre.",3
"Was I looking forward to pick in on a series about the superheroes of Marvel, that's what I thought to see and that's exactly what they told me. Seeing trailers and interviews and seen that the director was already involved in full features about the superheroes I was ready to watch episode one.

And after seeing episode one this series looked great. This I wanted to follow until the pilot was done and we moved further into the real world of SHIELD. And from that moment things went totally wrong for me. We moved 100% away from the superheroes. And after 6 episodes I was disgusted by the series. From an excellent opening it turned into a childish series that even looked fine for teenagers. There's nothing happening at all. Well, there is, the opening something happening and once the agents comes in it's full of clichés. The boss coming up for his crew, the sexy looking infiltrated chick, the nerdie chick, the freak, the yawn, macho man and...zzzzzzzzz.

The effects used are rather good but I admit, after episode 6 I closed the door. Nothing 'marvel'ous here to see.

"If you want to watch good fiction, this movie is awesome.

But if you try to make any sense out of this movie, you will find many serious flaws in the concepts of this movie.

Nolan tends to lose focus from the story line as usual and ends up with same concept in every movie. The most ridiculous scene was when Cooper enters into the gravitational field of black hole and finds out that ""they""(future human-beings) have created 3-D projections of his daughters room in 5-D reality..

This movie has made serious fun of Physics, Gravity and Black holes.

Its just a fiction movie, highly overrated on IMDb.",6

"The new Netflix show 'Stranger Things' is pretty much exactly what it looks like: a very loving and painstakingly recreated tribute to 80s Spielberg films in particular, and just about every teen fantasy/horror movie from that decade in general, with a soundtrack to match.

There's little original about it but in this instance that's not really the point - it's more about acknowledging the magic and wonder of the best of those movies and trying to specifically recreate that in a different century in a very devoted and respectful way.

It probably falls sort of true greatness because of this indebtedness, but the fact of the matter is it's just very, very nice to sink into an 8-hour cut of E.T and Close Encounters, Poltergeist, Hellraiser, Stand By Me and, uh... The Goonies that never existed before.

Unnecessary nudity and sex scene just to create a buzz. I would not recommend any Indian to watch this series with someone whom with you do not share a very frank relation or you will find yourself in very awkward situation. I cannot believe were Indian media is heading. I want to enjoy shows with my loved ones not alone. Shame on the maker of this show to ruining Indian culture.,1
"1. This movie deals with Illusions. I would place here that it is ingeniously made. The part of Spiderman in Illusions are really fantastical looking. It's like a movie within a movie. Those moments of Spiderman in those illusions could be done even more. Like they could have him in some fairytale world and he would be tripped out. What we get is cool though. There is a lot of Spidey swinging battling stuff that is overload of objects in the air but instead of that I would replace it with even more illusions for Spiderman to be in, because those sequences appear hypnotic and is really the main meal of the movie. The badguy is cleverly revealed which is really interesting.

2. This is by now the next in line in this interconnected Marvel cinema uni and by now they are referencing like numerous other Superheroes and events from like the movies like the previous Avengers and also Team Cap/Team Iron Man prior to that. It is ingenious that they weave the core of this entire plot from something from the event Team Cap/Team Iron Man. The one thing though is having characters from other Marvel movies in here too much like Fury and Stark's friend Happy. I personally read the comics and stuff like this did occur with cameos and crossovers so I don't know how I am *sensing* about this for a movie and the only contrasts is basically every other superhero movie aside from MCU how it's just like the title characters and no other cameos. It's relatively a new thing doing this for the movies from what has been going on in the comics. Oh now I know, if they're going to do those I would choose someone better than Fury or Happy. I mean for Pete sakes (haha) they keep wheeling out these characters. They could get numerous other characters. ENOUGH of the same people. The Nick Fury character is actually the James Bond of the comics and battles villains like Hatemonger who causes peace touting Hippies to go batshyt from his ring-looking space station and Fury has to annihilate him. In these movies he is zzzzzzzz. Reasons are since these are money funded movies and not the panels: contracts, paychecks, names in the industry and have a say to be in this.

3. The tech use here. There's loads of Iron Man technology being utilized and it's like what do they want to do either make a true street level Spiderman but they keep wheeling out advanced planes, drones, from Iron Man's techwizardry. People use cellphones so much it's a given all those smartphones for the simplest of things. Though he does actually ask someone's cellphone to use FINALLY. They are morphing the character and making it their own thing for the movie fine.

"Yes! The twilight generation is now in their twenties and has realised how ridiculous twinkly skin is... Bit late but never mind. Of course now however, they've been to university and/or worked in the real world for a few years and have (probably) grown up a bit. Therefore the girly emo's and girl emo's need some new dodgy vampire love stories that are a bit more mature (or, well....less idiotic) Enter, ""A Discovery of Witches"" woohoo!!!

So far I've found it to be failing on some writing and/or production quality. The plot scenario's are not properly developed for the viewer and the premises are just thrust in your face like they're all perfectly normal occurrences... Which I'd like to point out to everyone, they're not...despite how much of this kind of stuff has been on the screen in recent years. TV isn't real. I personally find the all-too-common rush through the important prelude and setting up the story much worse in movies recently, but in series where they have ample time to deal with all that properly I just wonder...why?

Slightly irate rant moment over with, A Discovery of Witches is pretty good aside from my aforementioned grievances. The underlying premise of the storyline is good and aside from the overly obvious romantic entanglement (sure to be filled with lots of talking and conflicted emotions while reliving some form of slightly less childish angst....errr, sorry the overly emotional drama that's almost certainly coming is pre-aggravating me) the plot has depth and intrigue slapping you about the face and neck, the camera work is slick and the actors are quality for the most part. Direction seems good except where magic is involved, I don't know what's going wrong here exactly, but it's just unrealistic. Wooo, unrealistic magic I hear you scoff. To which I reply, Harry Potter, Star Wars etc. etc. ad infinitum. Sets are very well put together and the on location filming captures Oxfords ancient streets quite well, if that is Oxford, I've never been there but I'm assuming it is.. What I'm sure will interest many viewers is the inside look at the Oxford university life, it does show a nice little snippet of the microcosm of Oxbridge academia.

All in all, worth a watch. Just be prepared for some less-than convincing magic hands....",7
"Two of my favorite actors - Margot and Ryan - in an unbelievably predictable and poorly written movie. Why would you do this to yourself Margot?? I mean, she did say in an interview that she just wanted to work with Greta, she didn't even care in what capacity. I seriously doubt she even read the script. She just wanted to be part of it. But she should have read the script. Margot is better than this! I think even a 12yo could have guessed that this was a horrible script. It was basically men vs women. Who wants to make a movie about that!!? No one. But they did. And they called it Barbie.

The movie is absolutely breathtaking to look at. The cinematography and the costumes and the sets... it's all top notch. They spared nothing when it came to making this movie. Which is why I gave it 4 starts. Also, Margot and Ryan did the absolute best with what they were given. You could tell they really had to dig deep for this one.

But back to the awful script. Why?!

Someone with a brain somewhere out there must have read the script and thought to themselves ""I won't tell them... it's none of my business!"" Well, you should have!!! This movie cost so much money to make and so much talent was wasted on it. This could have been sooooooooo good. Instead, it was boring, predictable, trivial, preachy, and dull. Nothing original. Quite bland if you take all the color out of it. This movie would literally be a total zero if you watched it in black and white... That should basically tell you everything about it.",4
"I was thinking today, what to watch? And I remembered that season 4 came out of stranger things and I just kept procrastinating to watch it. When I thought about it, I remember season 1 really well the upside down, her powers the kids etc..., but 2 and 3, I don't really remember what happened. Something with a shopping mall , an underground lab? And giant monsters. I don't remember the character evaluations who did what, why, when. And I just thought, I can't be bothered to watch it all again. But if I start 4 and I don't get it, I won't enjoy it maybe as much as I could have. I hope season 4 won't be that forgetful.",8
This definitely does not contain spoilers as i cant really explain the plot. This looks like it came from indian money and is as dodgy as a bad curry. Hemsworth must have been paid a lot to do this really mediocre b grade flick.,5
A must watch movie. If u feel depressed just watch this movie. Positive points : Pankaj Tripathy just nailed it. Raj kumar Rao amazed again with his extra ordinary skills. Malayalam actress was bang on. And the climax On the top Anurag Basu's direction.,10
Dont know what the big deal is about this movie. Just terrible movie. Rip off from The Happening.,1
"This is what happens when a crew aims to reinvent the wheel under the pretense of being edgy and ends up with a show void of spirit that only serves as a downer. Having the Robinson family become a dysfunctional one was a good, contemporary choice. The rest of the needlessly repetitive plot of miscommunication and absurd decisions, not.",3
"I rated this highly after watching the first season but my opinion has changes drastically on finishing the third season. Disregarding the obvious stray from the books, what happened to the acting? The characters seem to now be monologuing their motives and emotions. Do the writers think the actors can't do their job? The audience knows that's not true based on their performance the first two seasons. Or do the writers think the audience is too stupid to understand emotions and plots without it being spelled out for them? Maybe it's just me, but I don't think it's necessary for ""the bad guy"" to say, ""hey everyone, I'm the bad guy!""

I had high hopes for this show after the first season. Now I'm just disappointed that some Netflix team is trying to spoon feed some botched version of Andrzej Sapkowski's work to his fans.",2
"ZnT is a well produced and generally well written series, with an interesting idea for a plot that borrows elements from real day politics, science fiction and Nolan films sense of doom and escalation (specially The Dark Knight). However, it needed time for character development, mood setting, and time for the story to proper develop and the secrets to be revealed. If they had the budget for 26 episodes, this would have been absolutely genius. However, the characters have so much to do and so little time, they rush to the conclusions and the character arcs feel sloppy (like Five being a thrown away villain, Twelve's relationship with Lisa, her own personal life details, the detective's relationship with his daughter, and the whole school setting, which is inexplicably introduced and abandoned after one scene). Some questions are left unanswered or vague (do the children experiments make them live only a couple of decades?). The soundtrack is competent, but far from Yoko Kanno's best days. The animation is mostly top notch and those familiar with Tokyo will recognize the city's landscape, streets, buildings and atmosphere (down to every inch of detail), with a few cell shaded CG being a bit distracting.

All in all, a good attempt, but a wasted one. One can only dream of a 26 episode epic saga this series could have been.",6
"For me as a pilot and very long time aircraft enthusiast this movie has many inaccurate military descriptions. The first starts when center is clearing the plane to a flight level saying "" cleared to 600"" instead of ""Angels 60"". Once I hear these errors this I wonder how much the director pays attention to accuracy or just the ignorant paying audience. So many past military movies use wrong nomenclature such as in Jet using fuel information in gallons instead of pounds. The Red Tails in another loser . Those black pilots never had that attitude in WW 2 flying P 51's. My father met many of them. They were dedicated civil Air Corp men who knew their job and respected everyone they flew with. The bomber pilots loved them because they could truly fly that plane.",3
"Was hopeful that this would be another solid vehicle for Michelle Yeoh. Was hopeful that this would be a thought provoking venture and kind of sci-fi.

Unfortunately it was neither. I watched it in a flight, but I'm pretty sure that's the only reason I watched it to the end. I had a feeling that the producers and directors were have a bit of a laugh to see what they could get past the audience.

Frenetic, hard to watch. I fully accept the martial arts aspect of it and how that arises and fits within the Chinese genre / idiom, but it did feel a lot like Kung Fu Hustle. At least that movie was honest. I am completely bemused how the movie community can allocate a range of significant nominations for this movie.",2
"I confess I saw this flick at the theater the day it was released because I had seen the trailers and believed all the hype.

Its been a while since seeing the movie, here is what I remember. Its full of amazing special effects, and begins well and I remember feeling that it was going to be a wonderful movie. However, I left disappointed and angry that my hard earned money had been wasted.

Who the heck voted for this garbage movie to be on this list of ""Best Movies of all time??? Morons who haven't seen any of the hundreds or thousand of better movies than this polished pile of fecal matter.

The plot is too slow, there's too much emphasis on special effects, and although the concept is somewhat original the movie could have been so much better had the dialogue/dialog been more interesting and believable.

Maybe, I am in the minority, I just hate this movie, and I don't like that fact that its gets so much praise! Do you people really think this is one of the best movies of all time?

It should not even be in the top 100 much less the top ten!

Don't see this movie. It's 128 minutes too long with only 2o minutes that is actually worth watching!

Don't waste your time with this garbage.Do something more productive like reading a book, clipping nose hairs, vacuuming a beach... anything other than watching Inception

Good Grief!",3
"The only reason I give this movie even 3 out of 10 is because I didn't hate the movie till the end. The acting, cinematography etc. was good (although nothing extremely exception either). But the story and ensuing ""moral"" is god awful.

Short of Catholic propaganda, I don't see any reason for this movie to be made. I am not Catholic or Christian or religious in fact. So perhaps I can't associate with the ""moral dilemma"" that is posed in this movie. My guess is that to anyone who isn't Catholic it probably isn't a moral dilemma at all. And that just leaves you wondering why you wasted all this time on this movie that for about 90% of its duration is a good action movie, but the last 10% totally negates it and become REALLY pretentious.

It's like eating this awesome ice-cream only to reach the end to find a piece of dog turd.

Good movie for Catholics maybe, HORRIBLE for everyone else.",3
"I watch marvel religiously and I am down for every single little adventure to come in the future! This series is amazing, from the set design to the visual effects. I have never watched a show with so much mystery and speculation, I was questioning what would happen next every step of the way. Unfortunately all the speculations went a bit far and by the climax I think most of us were disappointed.

Either way it's a phenomenal show with my only criticism being it could have delivered a bit more at the climax. Although most of the plans they was going to do was cancelled due to the pandemic and instead on 9 it was originally meant to be 10 episodes long. So I can't really blame it. Either way an amazing show and I really enjoyed it through from start to finish.",9
"Great film.

Everyone must watch

The movie has the great story and very brilliant performance by all the actors

The movie takes you to different World.",10
"I am definitely in the minority opinion on this one. ""The Hurt Locker"" has won more ""Best Picture"" awards from the critic groups than any other film this year. However, not only did I not like it, I found it hard to sit through.

There is minimal plot and little character development. They disarm bombs, fight, and disarm more bombs. That is the entire movie.

But the worst part was that the camera never stops moving and is constantly shaking. This has been a recent fad in film making and it is supposed to make it seem more real because it has a cheap, documentary look to it. The camera was shaking so much it was making me nauseous to look at the screen.

I normally don't care for war movies and ""The Hurt Locker"" was no exception. But you don't need to take my word for it because the critics love it.",2
"This film's story is muddled with action scenes you can barely make out half the time. An inconsequential Plot that just feels helpless by the end, begging to shed any joy from its audience. Also throw in a love story thats half-assed, and you have a pretty disappointing film as a whole.",4
"The most remarkable about Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk is that he entirely missed the whole story of Dunkirk which was about these tiny private boats, thousands of them, piloted by citizen-sailors rescuing hundreds of thousands of cornered British troops. This became a huge rallying point for the Brits before the Blitz when ordinary Britons actually saved 270,000 men. For most of Nolan's Dunkirk he focuses on Mark Rylance who appears to be out in the middle of the English Channel all by himself. In reality, the private fleet was a massive flotilla. If you live on the west coast of the US, imagine every private boat in LA Harbor, Long Beach and Newport emptied into the Catalina Channel. That's what Dunkirk was like. Where are all those CG effects when you really need them? Instead, Nolan seems more interested in effects that show troop transport ships being torpedoed and breached which is NOT the real story of Dunkirk. And that's not saying anything about Cillan Murphy's pointless flashbacks or Tom Hardy's silly Hollywood RAF pilot who shoots down German fighters without fuel or an engine. If you judge a film by the actual events that inspired it this is not inspired work - just another bloated CG spectacle with an over-mixed soundtrack, a much advertised 70mm picture, and in selected theaters, vibrating seats. Seriously. In that sense, Dunkirk is not a bad IMAX film - if only it were an hour shorter. If you want to see a good Dunkirk film, dig up the Dunkirk from 1958 with John Mills. A far superior piece of cinema.",2
"Film that passes a cool feeling. Interesting colors and its focus is totally geared towards fixing the looks of whoever watches it. Congratulations to the director who led this production, congratulations to all the team that worked on this project, which marked the lives of millions of people, writer is also to be congratulated.",10
"Another movie about loser teens trying to get sex from hot girls, who treat them like they don't have any other option in their lives. It's got some dumb bits that make you laugh but I could get that from my dumb friends as well. It's an other American cringe film",4
"This was such a fun movie! I loved the glamour, the pop culture references, the humour, the quirky characters, the setting, the cameos, the recognition of Covid, and the murder mystery. Daniel Craig was wonderful of course and the other characters were perfectly cast. Think I enjoyed this more than the first Knives Out movie. Some reviewers felt it got boring and predictable but I didn't experience either problem and was completely drawn in. It took me a bit to get all the characters sorted. Perfect Boxing Day movie when I just wanted to sit back and relax. Ignore the negative reviews, just sit back and enjoy the ride!",8
"I came to this show not knowing anything about it. I hated the first episode and almost stopped watching it, but after hearing a lot of good things about it, I went back to it. It's a really great fantasy series with a really interesting world. The timeline isn't really explained, so that gets confusing. Be warned that it can be very disturbing/upsetting some times. Yes, it's gory, but beyond that, some things that happen in the story are deeply upsetting. Overall, I love the show, but it can be hard to watch.",8
I have no words to express.This is a amazing show everyone should watch it,7
"Considering people involved (from Mr. King to cast, cinematographer, editor and so on), this is a very good show with truly outstanding performances of Mr. Mendelsonn (Ralph), Ms. Erivo (Holly) and Mr. Menchaca (Jack). A well written story (by the master storyteller and one of the greatest author US ever had), however, could be slightly better executed: 9 episodes would do. 10th is a ""surplus"" of fillers for time and series scope gaining, mostly idling. I would not be mistaken comparing this with ""lost"" True Detective season that could very well replace 2nd and 3rd fails and be a worthy successor to the first season masterpiece. Mainly slowly paced - yes, but that's the point in this case. Recommended.",7
"8.6/10 The first child of the Netflix/Marvel partnership is here and we have all grown to love it.Daredevil tells the story of the blind lawyer Matt Murdock,who can't filter out the noise of misery and suffering in Hell's Kitchen/New York.With the law unable to cease crime on its own,he decides to take the matter into his own hands.Season one manages to right all the wrongs that Ben Affleck's version of the character has done.Daredevil holds no punches,both figuratively and literally,with presenting a story full of blood,violence and brutality.This is not your usual Marvel Movie with a longer runtime. This is a showcase of a cruel,bloodstained city struggling to survive and how that affects and shapes its citizens.Some might put up with it,barely scraping by.Others might hate its guts and try to burn it to the ground.And finally,the ""main characters"" type of people that see hope in it,despite it being a wreck.What makes this show outstanding is the substantial amount of humanity present in every character,besides being a so-called superhero show.Each street thug feels like a realistic character, and all this is accomplished through subtle acts and actions.The heroes are not over-competent ego-maniacs with chins carved from stone and the villains are not twirling their mustaches and looking at the camera maliciously.Behind their personas of urban mythical creatures,both the protagonist and the antagonist are just troubled people.One wears a metaphorical mask,the other a quite literal one.The actors are spectacular,with Charlie Cox showing a bright future in acting and Vincent D'Onofrio delivering probably the best performance of his life.The sidekicks are genuinely charming and you can't help but love them. Elden Henson is absolutely hilarious as Foggy and Deborah Ann Woll is adorable as the stubborn Karen Page.What caught me off guard is how much i sympathized with the villains. You can understand why they are doing what they are doing and everyone has his own agenda.The City of New York deserves an Emmy on its own.This is one of the best cases of a city feeling like a real,fleshed-out character. Sometimes the pacing was a bit too slow for my liking,but overall the payoff was worth it in the end.Both the vigilante and the lawyer parts were magnificent and the show delivers strong monologues that send chills down your spine.

Conclusion: Marvel successfully creates a lawyer-crime drama ,which happens to contain the superhero Daredevil.The show serves as a brilliant showcase to the darkness in the minds of the people and manages to show us that every devil has a human side to him.And if that deep mumbo jumbo ain't your thing,dontcha worry,there are flipping ninja fights to scratch your occasional ninja fight itch.My main complaint is that some episodes dragged a bit,but you won't lose interest,the storyline is just the right amount of gripping.",9
"I really enjoyed this one much more than ""The Boys"" saga. It captured my attention from start to finish, and the plots are also really interesting; the characters are very Gen-Z-coded and very relatable at some point.

It's not perfect, I'm aware of that-the acting sometimes is meh; also, teenage love strory is so overrated; and some of the dialogues are very cringy-and yeah, it still dragged me into it.

I didn't expect anything from this show, but it really surprised me-it's pretty decent and watchable. The representations are also okay, but most of the time I think it's just for the show-but, anyways, I'd love to see the next season when it's available soon!",8
"Even after the likes of movies like, into the spider verse this one still ranks among the best superhero movie ever and the best spiderman movie so far",10
"A good beginning with good special efects, the world of OASIS, is very well achived. The movie Change the best parts from the book, it's totally different (i recomend the book, is one of my favorite) but not the movie.",6
"The premise is good, but the acting (especially by the adults) is terrible. Visually, it's stunning.",3
"Antman story sucks, script sucks, jokes sucks. Only good thing is vfx, Scott training scenes, fight scene between antman and falcon and Abby Ryder fortson. She is sooooooooo cute that you can't take your eyes off her. If I rewatch antman then its only for peanuts.",4
"Brilliant series, very well done, great acting and shows what life could be like with real life super beings that range from being ar*eh*les to almost sociopaths that maybe started out good but egos, corporate greed and knowing they are almost invincible going to their heads. And why wouldn't it in some respects? Best super hero series I've seen to date. Keep them coming like this please!",9
"The visual effects were amazing, the movie was beautiful, and yes, Ms. Weaver was doing well for her age. But, ""flux vortex?"" Come on James Cameron. It was the most formulaic plot I've ever seen, and the dialog and acting were horrible. And none of the characters were interesting in any way. It was basically a bad version of Princess Mononoke with blue cats in space. Or as many people have said, a combination of Fern Gully and X (Pocahontas or Dances with Wolves or the Smurfs or Thundercats or even just the bad parts of Return of the Jedi).

All in all, I would place it about equal with Revenge of the Sith, just because the effects were so awesome. Though with time it will probably sink to below Phantom Menace as none of the fight scenes were as cool as light saber duels and none of the characters were as memorable as Qui-Gon Jinn or Darth Maul. Though none of the characters were quite as annoying as little Anakin Skywalker or Jar-Jar, so maybe it'll stay above it. And the movie was never really boring even though it was so long, so that's a plus.",4
"12 YEARS A SLAVE is one of the most uncomfortable viewing experiences I've had in recent memory. It wasn't because I felt guilty for something my ancestors may (or may not) have had responsibility for, but because occasionally I felt that the movie wallowed in its own misery. It also felt exploitative and emotionally manipulative at times. That said, if one does not come away from this absolutely detesting slavery as an institution, there is something truly wrong with you. Fortunately, this story has a happy(ish) ending. Otherwise, the oppressive atmosphere might have choked all the life out of the story. On a technical level, the movie is astounding. Steve McQueen is an auteur to watch, now having three critically praised films under his belt. I also loved the score by Hans Zimmer, which was stark when it needed to be, but also filled with tenderness and longing. There are also several Negro spirituals peppered throughout which were also uplifting. Overall, this is a must-see film, not just because it's won a lot of awards, but because it treats a touchy subject with the honesty it deserves. However, I wouldn't watch it more than once unless you're a glutton for punishment.",7
"Tarantino said that he will make 10 movies and than go to retirement. This movie was his 9th, but he need to shoot two more because this one does not count. I left theater after one hour with big question mark above my head.",2
"It's a well-rounded stunningly looking sci-fi show. The stories are mostly about capable and selfless individuals struggling against overwhelming odds. And succeeding. I think it's a good remake in that regard.

But i am not hooked. I'd rather see more emphasis on characters development, interaction between futuristic societies and discovery of alien mysteries. Something that Expanse does a lot better.

Instead the show's selling point is overdone action-adventure scenes like dodging gazers, sneaking into a monster pit, diving below freezing water and so on. That's what most scifi movies do these days.",8
Tom Hardy - good. Michelle Williams - okay. Everybody else - meh. Writing and directing - remember I fell asleep.,5
So how do they have all these histories? Story line is not very logical.,1
"The idea of travelling and exploring space has always fascinated human mind,

Gravity which is a effort of 3 years of work, is a magnificent experience,

It takes you so close to the space like never before,

It has an emotional element to it, where Sandra Bullocks is shown fighting her past and overcoming the pain

she had developed, Gravity is also a story of survival, a show of strength which leads to a person overcoming odds to survive.

Every Moment in the movie is well directed, How this tremendous motion picture was shot, still remains a big mystery,

Gravity is a magnificent piece of direction, to be enjoyed by anyone who gets fascinated by idea of exploring space,

Though it may not be termed as a cinematic masterpiece, due to its lack of a strong storyline, nevertheless its an experience like never before .",7
"Ugh the special effect is just killing me, with this kind of budget they should, could make it more realistic.

Anyone could take part in this movie and still pull off the acting. It is not horrible but nothing outstanding. Normal level.

The dialogs in the movies are very child like, nothing serious, especially with the venoms. They should take it more serious instead of going or trying to make it mainstream. Like in the comics, they are hard 18+.

Also it took way too long before there is a plot. The movie is full of action and have some innovative action in it but nothing that contribute to the movie plot itself.

Watch it with your bros with beers and some hamburgers and nachos.",4
"I feel I should probably preface this review by stating that TLOU is one of my favourite games of all time, so certain parts of my review may be slightly biased.

Overall this series is close to perfection in terms of recreating the look and feel of The Last of Us game. The sets, costumes and locations look like they have been ripped right from the game and put on-screen. Dialogue and scenes have been recreated with so much love and attention to detail it is genuinely amazing at times. The original music from the game is also utilised well, although in my opinion not nearly enough.

Pedro Pascal is almost flawless in his interpretation of Joel, he is a phenomenal actor. I took a little while to warm to Bella Ramsey as Ellie, although this may just be as I have held the character so close to heart for so many years. By the end of the series I would say that she had won me over, although she never felt 100% ""Ellie"" to me, more like an alternate version, whereas I totally bought Pedro as Joel by the end of the series.

I do feel that the season could have done with being a few episodes longer, as important parts of the game have been left out in a lot of places. I have seen a lot of people complaining that there wasn't enough action, which I somewhat agree with. The creators have said that they wanted to focus more on the human experience, not just the violence, but I can't help but feel the complete lack of a threat from the infected throughout most of the series will make most people get a little bored! Ellie's character growth throughout the game, as well as her and Joel's trust-building, was shown a lot through combat situations, so this wouldn't have just been ""mindless action"", it would have served a purpose. Having shown Joel actually engage in combat would have made his character feel as dangerous as he should have. This series mainly hints at it right up until the last couple of episodes.

I also think the short run-time of the series hurt the overall feeling of this being an epic, cross country journey that took the best part of a year. I watched it with someone who had never played the game and when asked, she assumed the whole story took place over a couple of months. Also, although I enjoyed the Bill & Frank episode, I think taking an entire hour to focus on two characters who have very little relevance to the actual plot was a very strange choice and just meant they had even more to cram into the remaining episodes.

Lastly, no-one got killed by a brick. One of my favourite things to do in the game! A crying shame!",7
"So, after hearing all these raving reviews from other moviegoers, I expected something hilarious. Maybe I entered this movie with too much of an expectation of being amused. I thought this movie was not funny and just went from one supposed funny scene to another. The plot was stupid, if there was one.. I suppose trying to get the booze was the plot. Perhaps you have to be in a large crowd to think its funny so your caught in the mob fun. I was in an auditorium with 2 other people besides myself and guest. Nobody laughed, except once.

I don't recommend this movie to anyone expecting to have fun.

I expect after the initial hurah of this movie that this will fall into the pile of forgotten comedies, never to be talked about again.",1
"Wow. This is a 134 minute long first act of a movie. It's 100 % set up and 0 % payoff. I don't if it's studio's greed or JK Rowling incompetence, but this movie shouldn't exist as it does. This movie does nothing beyond setting up the ""secrets of Dumbledore"" movie. I would not recommend it.",1
"The characters are good. The story is good. The first 3 episodes are acceptable then they are very very good ones and the last one is a round up with a catch.

Kate Winslet really rocks the whole time. She is amazing.",7
"This movie was amazing, it delves into the characters wonderfully, and the plot was structured perfectly, as it delves into the life of Peter Parker (Maguire) as he is losing his powers, and must learn what it means to be Spider-Man again, as he faces against the villainous Dr. Otto Octavius, otherwise known as Doctor Octopus!",10
"This review is after finishing season 2. I am not a fan of gore and will usually avoid it but the story is so compelling I stuck too it. Although there was one scene I had to look away were a dude gets his face ripped off and you see the whole thing.

Gore aside the acting is top notch from everyone even characters that only get a scene or two. The story is pretty good but I did find with a short 8 episode season it moved along almost to fast. It would have been nice to get a bit more in depth but still considering it was only 8 episodes I really shouldn't be complaining.

This show has comedy, tragedy, love story lots of action and tons of gore. There is some sex scenes but it really is the gore that is prominent. If you can stomach that level of gross I would recommend. DEFINITELY NOT FOR KIDS though even though its all about superhero's. These people are depraved so keep the kids away.",8
"This show really knows how to keep you on your feet. There is constantly action in this game of cat and mouse. It's honestly hilarious to hear Light and L's internal monologues. This is the type of show where even if you despise the main character and their actions, you almost don't want the game of cat and mouse to end. It's so interesting you don't even know whether or not the protagonist will win.",7
The action scenes are great and made in a realistic manner. Movie direction is one of the best in Indian movie. The CGI are top notch even if you compare them to Hollywood movies. Definitely on of the best war movie in the world.,10
"As a 39 year old female activist I immediately fell in love with this movie. The story, the actors, the music. And now my 10 year old son has watched it numerous times and is just as in love with it as me. This movie is a much watch. If only we had a bit of Barbie Land and the real world mixed together, the world would be a better place. Now I'm wondering if we will see a Ken movie. I think that would be a fun spin on the story. This is worth owning as you will want to watch it over and over again. It's funny and serious at the same time. Making light of a real systemic problem that is 100 percent a real thing.",9
"Platt or Solomon Northup? The movie reflects a dark side of society. God evidently created mankind equally. But this sense of equality was once tremendously altered by human's sinful nature, selfishness, hatred. The main character choose to be submissive in order to survive. He never gives up despite the reality of being considered a slave and the pressure from the other hopelessly lost and pessimistic slaves. The story itself is extremely depressed with all the realistic struggling and hatreds. One of the most amazing fragments of the movie is its demonstration of spiritual hope in Lord, in a better place. Received an Oscar for playing Patsey, Lupita Nyong'o manages to bring out the best performance of a young, smart, hard working woman but sadly, lost. It is so sad to see this young girl who believes in heaven, in God also passionately believes in death that directly bring her back to where she first created. Michael Fassbender's performance is so monumental. He reflects a typical slaver: brutal, arrogant, hypocrite. Not only a historical memoir, 12 Years a Slave is a reminder to people how the evil and good parallel and stratify the society.",8
...but I'm not going to knock it after only 2 episodes. Have to see where this is going and that takes all 9 episodes.,6
"I found myself falling asleep watching this it was so boring and weak, not nearly as good as the comic even tho it pretty much follows the comic storyline, mostly. Still bummed wee Hughie isnt scottish.",6
"Walked out during intermission.

Visually, a fantastic job. Big props to the art and costume crew. Barbie Land was incredibly well made. The colors and the lighting in the film were on point.


Not a bad idea for the plot, but the movie itself didn't care about the plot.


Execution... You may as well get a hot pink piece of paper and a bright yellow pen, write ""Men are bad. Patriarchy is bad. Women are good. Unless they're really attractive, in which case they're also bad."" and read it aloud over and over and over again for 2 hours.


The trailer made it seem like this would be a sort of movie that hasn't really been made since the mid-2000s which is a fun (""fun"" being the keyword) adventure with silly/supernatural elements to it. Sillly is me for thinking that that could happen in 2023...",3
"While the name Stephen Chow might barely elicit a hint of recognition among Western audiences, there's no denying he's a legend back in his home turf of Hong Kong. His films are often characterized by their zany characters, over-the-top action scenes and eye-popping (sometimes literally!) special effects. His earlier works, such as God of Cookery and Shaolin Soccer, were uneven escapist fluff-pieces that were weighed down by a tinge of superfluousness. With Kung Fu Hustle, however, Chow managed to find his footing, creating a film that manages to rise above its genre conventions to become a veritable piece of cinematic artistry. Part action film, part love story, part loving homage, Hustle is a pitch-perfect example of the best that Hong Kong cinema has to offer, effortlessly mixing digital wizardry with old-school martial arts stunts while never skipping a comedic beat. Starring Chow himself as a hapless wannabe gangster embroiled in a head-spinning battle between the notoriously violent Axe Gang and the high-flying residents of a slum called Pig Sty. The kung fu masters from the ramshackle village are faced with the task of thwarting the dastardly attacks of the Axe Gang, which include a band of suited axe-wielding mercenaries, a pair of string-strumming assassins and a prison-abducted supervillain known as The Beast, fast enough to catch a speeding bullet. All this climaxes into an go-for-broke showdown between the newly enlightened Chow and the malevolent Beast. And if that's not reason enough for you to rush to your nearest video store, Chow peppers the film with nods to everything from Looney Tunes slapstick to Kubrickian surrealism, as well as an inspired reimagining of the 'Burly Brawl' sequence from The Matrix Reloaded. A true gem!",10
"There are some great things about this show like the acting and the first few episodes. But it culminates into the most unsatisfying, sloppy ending I've seen from a show like this in a while.",7
"What acting? With the exception of Christopher Plummer, the acting was lack luster and painful.",1
"Amazing show. Love the cast. Fun, thrilling, can't wait for next season! The ending tho....",8

"The future sure has been quite a time for Captain America (Chris Evans). His first encounter with the modern world saw him running through Times Square, confused and scared. Next, he assembled with some other Superheroes to save the world from the disgruntled brother of a fellow Avenger. In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Cap faces off against an internal threat and an organization that is just as powerful as S.H.I.E.L.D, as well as a familiar face and new adversary from his past. Life is rough for Cap. On top of everything, he is still trying to find a way to successfully assimilate himself into present day society. You think saving the world is hard? Try figuring out the internet, getting back on the dating scene, and making new friends at the age of ninety-five. Thankfully, there are only a few things Cap needs to get through the day; his trusty vibranium shield and his handy notepad with a slew of suggestions for catching up with the last seventy years, and Cap is ready to take on the world–or corrupt government organizations. Either or, Cap is always ready to save the day, even if he has to take a beating while doing it.

When I first became aware that the directing/producing brothers behind episodes of 'Community' and You, Me and Dupree were going to be responsible for extending the Captain America canon, I may have gotten a little worried. Thinking that Joe and Anthony Russo were going to follow in the same footsteps as Captain America: The First Avenger director Joe Johnson, focusing more on the comedy and special effects of the Superhero genre and less with the complex, unflinching patriotic mentality of America's greatest super soldier, the Russo brothers sure proved me wrong. It's movies like these that make happy to swallow my words and stand corrected, knowing that audience members are able trust that the television medium is one that can be used as an adequate platform towards advancing characters in film as well.

Substituting as much VFX work as possible for a very organic and old-school action approach, Captain America: The Winter Soldier is certainly the best Phase Two Marvel film so far, and may perhaps be the standard film to compete against in a post-Avengers film world, or at least up until the Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Always on a mission, it seems that Cap lives to work, not works to live. Especially since he has been in deep sleep for the last little while. While the United States government is surely getting the most out of their ridiculously expensive investment, the government trusts that their super solider is never compromised and his dedication and hard work to his country is never skewed. When a secret organization with similar interests to those of S.H.I.E.L.D threaten to kill twenty million people, Cap is sent to fight at sea, on land, and in the air. Accompanied by his trusty sidekick Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), the two seem to always be pitted within the same missions but always having ulterior motives. Commanded by their one-eyed superior Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), S.H.I.E.L.D must face off against their most ruthless enemy yet.

One of the biggest issues I will continue to have with Marvel's stand-alone films from now on, is the fact that once conflict reaches a certain level of danger, like lets say a global level, I will always ask, ""Where the heck are the Avengers? And if not the Avengers, where is Tony Stark? The Hulk? Someone? Anyone?"" No problem could be too big for the super-powered team of freedom fighting Superheroes. This is one film where I questioned the presence of Tony Stark? Was he just waiting to see what Cap would do on the other side of the country while he sat at home on his couch?

Essentially, Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a team effort in crime fighting, with Black Widow and Sam Wilson/The Falcon (Anthony Mackie) helping out are star-spangled Superhero this time around, Cap sure doesn't seem to be without powerful friends. What was also refreshing was finally seeing Nick Fury get in on the action, providing the film with one of the best car chase scene Marvel ever assembled. One of the virtues of Captain America: The Winter Soldier stands by is the fact that, you don't need to wear a mask to be a Superhero–which might explain why Cap always insists on removing his.

At times, the film may seem like Marvel's take on Minority Report anticipating danger before it even happens, and upholding the idea of 'peace' for the sake of the world. But as the Head of S.H.I.E.L.D operations ironically points out, ""peace is not an achievement, its a responsibility"". So when S.H.I.E.L.D is corrupted from the inside, right under their noses and Cap is left to face-off against a super-soldier baddie, later known as the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), the organization really has some explaining to do. The Winter Soldier, developed and equipped with the same agility as Cap, with of course the addition of a metal arm, the masked soldier gives Cap a run for his money. The only person the Winter Soldier ever seems to have any trouble fighting is Romanoff, which raises the question, why doesn't anyone give her the serum to make her a super-soldier? She would surely kick some serious ass!

It's a pure crime thriller film and every moment in this film attach with you. The story and screenplay is so awsome. After a long time people see a pure class mastermind movie.,10
"Never in my life have I left a review on here however I felt obligated to after sitting through three hours of absolute nonsense. The film began an I was just at a loss for words, it felt like a practical joke. However I held out hope that it would get better, it didn't, it got worse. The way some of these beloved characters have been portrayed in this film literally made my toes curl up in embarrassment, it's absolutely shocking. Lazy writing, and beyond anti climactic. I've seen so many 10/10 reviews on here I'm half convinced the film I seen was actually a joke and all these other people got to see a completely different film than I did. I had so much hope for the Russo Brothers to make this a truly spectacular film and I didn't think it would be possible for them to mess up this bad. I had tickets to go and see it a second time later on today however I'd rather lose the money and not go than sit through it again. So dissappointed.",2
"I wonder what percentage of the budget was spent on reviews? Going off the glowing reviews I see here, my guess is that Rent-A-Review have been working overtime again. In fact, I think this is the most blatant case of review fixing I think I have ever seen!

I could possibly understand people being impressed by the CGI and maybe giving it a 5/10 based on that but anything more than 5/10 is ridiculous and an insult to anyone with an IQ greater than that of a gherkin!

I was contemplating giving the movie just 1/10 but the effects were quite good. I had even considered giving it 3 or maybe 4 out of 10 (based on the effects) but special effects don't make a movie, at least not for me, and all the special effects in the world won't change the fact that this movie is crap!

I recently watched a time-lapse video of the earth, taken from the International Space Station, and I can categorically state, hand on heart, that the video from the ISS was far more entertaining than this pathetic offering.

It's a sad day when this sorry excuse for a movie ranks higher than Blade Runner, which is arguably the best sci-fi movie of all time! Maybe it's time that IMDb took a long, hard look at their voting/review system, because based on what I've seen here, it just isn't working!",1
"I came into this series with no idea what or who the Moon Knight is, and I have to say that the series as a whole is definitely the right step for the MCU for this new phase.

It's weird, it's random, and it's different! Mostly importantly, it works, and Oscar Isaac outshines pretty much every other actor in the MCU to date with an incredible performance.

I really would like to see more of Moon Knight in the future.",8
"To say that this movie is self-complacent would be a gigantic understatement. As gigantic maybe as Tarantino's memory, overloaded with scores of details that he doesn't care to sort out. So he unloads them in bulk. The result : it's like you go to a promising party but end up cornered most of the night by some drunk guy who absolutely wants to share his opinions about everything.

Right from the start you get vignette after vignette, self-indulgent, overlong spoof sequences that bog down the main narrative. What with all the stuff Tarantino has learnt about movies he can't shorten exposition to clever ellipses ? Once upon a time I thought he was very good with dialogue, but I guess it is no fun to toil and write fine lines (no just snappy one-liners from time to time) when Sony will greenlight anything you want to shoot.

Once upon a time in Hollywood does not have a plot. It is the New Wave auteur in Tarantino who does not think he needs a plot. He has a couple of characters, a dozen anecdotes and the rest is talent. Self-conscious talent, lazy talent, talent isolated in the middle of a creative process. More like naked skills, each trying separately to express its full potential.

The hero and his sidekick are losers: how do you build a story around losers ? You need rhythm and some kind of McGuffin (wasn't it all there in Pulp Fiction?), not some vague exploration of the meaning of life. The plot is limited to the draft premise: a has-been TV actor and his stunt double cope with reality in Hollywood around the time of the Manson Family murders. The backdrop of the murders is the only narrative asset. We are teased all along, we even have an extensive reconstitution of life at the Spahn Ranch... all this just to toy around and end with the kind of ultra-violent carnival that Tarantino fans seem to revere. Clearly the challenge of mentioning the sordid Tate-LaBianca murders of August 1969 was not only above Tarantino's mental ability, but grossly using background anecdotes from it as fodder for his inspiration was within his moral scope.

As always I am judging this movie on its merits from a movie enthusiast point of view. But Tarantino is much more than a movie enthusiast. He is a guttonous movie fanatic. He is a guru with followers who let themselves be impressed, just like with Charles Manson. Many more followers than Charles Manson; fortunately Tarantino followers are only trained to see the fun in violence.",4
"This movie is a complete disgrace to cinema lovers or to history buffs.

Omitting facts is a fraud !

Not mentioning things that happened is cheating

Not showing any real footage weakens the movie Some scenes are in black n white, they are awfully made.

Not a single war scene Not a single flight shot!

Not a single japanese!

No nazis No soviets

Acting skills are actually the only good thing in the movie.

Some scenes are too long, and some scenes are extremely short when they need to be longer

The writer (or writers) needed real history courses, not write based on watching documentary movies.

The director did his worst movie successfully.",2
"Neat looking robo. Only positive thing I can say. Lucas should sue for them making a cheap rip off of The Millennium Falcon. Every character is annoying. The story line is pathetic. Simply unwatchable. I was hoping they might improve something in season 2, but nothing... Irwin Allen approved this????",1
"Undoubtedly the best comedy movie of this year. So many characters and so many stories, still managed to make this fun and enjoyable. There was not even a single moment where the comedy was forced and this is the best part of this movie. Each and every song was worthy of watching. It's a 2.5 hrs full of joy kind of movie. It's also unusual to find a great message out of a comedy movie these days and it delivers that with brilliance!",9

"Watched this for the first time with my 15 year old niece. I was shocked, that given two male characters are gay men, at how much anti-lesbian rhetoric they projected in almost every other episode!

So disappointing that the writers uphold negative lesbian stereotypes and threw the word ""lesbian"" around many times like it's a bad dirty word. Yet it's ok to have two gay men as characters?

Awful, stopped my niece from watching it and explained why. Even though the show is funny, massively let down at the blatant lesbian hate.

This show could only have been written by two straight white males. Or two gays who have not quite accepted all the letters in LGBT. Sadly there are gay men still in society who think lesbians should be looked down on.

Educate yourselves. Disappointing.",1
"Talk to me is a modern day horror set in Australia. We find ourselves chilling with Gen Zers who like to u out, uparty and post on social media. They come across an embalmed hand and find a way to get a temporary high by connecting with the spirUit world. All is well as long as they that they connect for too long...

Talk to me is a well-made horror that touched on a number of themes including Loss, suicide, fitting in, letting go/holding on and drugs. The acting is well - Each character had their own unique but believable personality notwithstanding that fact that we've seen some similar personalities within the genre before.

The 1hr 35mins runtime isn't any more than was necessary. The $4.5m dollar was put to good use with convincing practical effects which manages to give you chills without multiple jump scares and a soundtrack that paid homage to Australian Hip Hop and drill.

Give it a watch If you are a fan of horror, a24 or Australian drill.",7
"I was hoping this would be as good as most people seem to think it is, but it was relatively dull, to me. Spidey agonizes over the choices made at the end of the last movie -- endlessly. Mary Jane helps him agonize -- endlessly. Somewhat

superfluously, a supervillain is created, causes mayhem, and is defeated. Entirely superflously, Harry Osborn gnashes his teeth and searches - sort of - for his father's killer.

The movie lurches around a bit, high-speed action scenes come to a screeching halt for stumbling non-dialogue scenes about Spidey's life. Some of the jokes fall flat. Sam Raimi's old-school direction is solid as always, but the script lets him down sometimes. I look forward to Spidey3, though. Hopefully a better script can be had. All the pieces are certainly there.",5
"I just got finished watching this movie in my film class. This is the first time I watched it straight-through, and I was very impressed and look forward to watching it again sometime soon. Of course, I had to view it in a somewhat intelligent, focused manner--indulging the way the cinematography and setting helps tell the story, what the props symbolize, etc.--since we're studying the movie. So I wasn't exactly kicking back on my living room couch with a glass of soda at my side, enjoying the show. Well, I did enjoy the show--a lot!--but in a somewhat analytical way.

I'll start off by complimenting the acting. Frances McDormand earned a well-deserved Oscar for her performance as a pregnant police chief in this small, quiet Minnesota town. You can say this is the role that put her on the map, and I'm glad she's on the map, because she's a very talented actress. William H. Macy never ceases to please, delivering a subtle performance as a money-hungry car salesman. Just his facial expressions alone speak a million words. Steve Buscemi is absolutely hilarious as the talkative Carl. He's superb at anything he does, and I think this marks one of most memorable appearances on film. Peter Stormare is subtlely terrifying as his silent buddy. I don't think they could've picked someone with a more piercing stare than him. At moments you actually feel as if you're staring at the Angel of Death himself, he's so effective. His name escapes me at the moment, but I loved the Asian guy who played McDormand's old friend. He has one of the most hilarious scenes in the film. I remembered him as a worker for ""Rolling Stone"" in ""Almost Famous""--also with McDormand in the cast. He really is good!

The cinematography is great! It really brings out the coldness (both literally and figuratively) of the setting. The music is brilliant and haunting. The dialogue is full of zingers that film buffs will have a field day with. I heard that people from Minnesota wrote angry letters about the Coens (who were actually born and raised in the state) for making fun of the way their people talk. I know they must've exaggerated (I don't see how anybody can talk like that without laughing at themselves), but they must've used some element of truth. You know what they say: There has to be truth to every joke. I didn't think there are people in the world who can be so stoic and cheerful, even when there's a murder taking place. But one of the girls in my class said she spent some time in the Midwest, and the people there actually do behave a lot like the characters in ""Fargo."" Nevertheless, I couldn't help but crack up every time the word ""Ya"" was used. Especially in that scene where McDormand was interviewing the two hookers. I think that scene sets the record as the one with the most ""Yas"" used. If anybody was counting, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm sure the reputation of the people of Minnesota has changed due to this movie, and I'm sure tourists jokingly approach them with ""Yas."" Hey, I'm from Jersey and talk nothing like the characters in ""The Sopranos,"" and I'm not complaining. I can take a joke. I think the extremely mild manner of the main characters (minus Buscemi and Stormare) helps create an ironic tone that contradicts the atmosphere.

""Fargo"" has almost anything you can ask for in a movie. It's a dark comedy, and in that department it's hilarious. In fact--keeping in mind that this was marketed as a drama/thriller--I think I got more laughs out of this film than most straight comedies I've seen. Of course, some may think you're a sadist for laughing at certain gags, but we don't always have to laugh at pleasant things, do we? It's a crime drama, and in that respect it's compelling and intriguing, with some unique twists. Not giving anything away, that wood-chipper thing--nice touch!

Should you see this movie? Ya! Ya! Darn tootin'! But if you're squeamish, take a blindfold. It gets bloody at times.

My score: 9 (out of 10)",9
"Absolutely horrendous show. Not only does 13 Reasons Why fail in every aspect required to tell a compelling story, but it also happens to have one of the most offensive and ignorant representations of a serious issue ive ever seen. To get the obvious out of the way, this show is horribly written, with horrendous on-the- -nose dialogue and cardboard characters. These afformentionrd ""characters"" have absolutely no depth beyond the mental illnesses they happen to have. The only character with some depth beyond that is Clay, but still, if you take away his relationship with Hannah, you have an absolute bore of a character, with absolutely no personality or charm. The only reason I'm giving this a 2 is because there is SOME Interesting camerawork, but it's in the vast minority of boring cinematography.

Now, to get to the real insult of this show, we have to look at its portrayal of mental illness. This show treats suicide as a revenge tactic. That in itself is the absolute worst thing a show about SUICIDE AWARENESS can ever do. By portraying such a topic in this way, it tells impressionable audiences who may be struggling with these thoughts that suicide is a viable way to get revenge on people who wronged them. This is only further pushed by how much this ""plan"" actually works in the show itself. The tapes start an absolute riot and an uprising against who wronged Hannah. I have no doubt this will push impressionable and vulnerable audiences further to this decision. Beyond that, the rest of the mental illnesses in the show feel as if they only exist to fill out a checklist. Every character has to have a specific mental illness that defines them, simply so the show can say that it ""represents"" these topics, no matter how absolutely horrendously it portrays them.

Overall, not only is this show comepletely inept in terms of quality and entertainment, but it remains a perfect example of how NOT to represent some of the most sensitive topics in modern society.

Overall, don't watch it.",1
"The two episodes, even though short, deliver quite the bizarreness that revolves around Wanda and Vision. The whole vibe of the show is intriguing and interesting, the setting is pretty believable as well. Not sure why people expected action from the first episode. Action without meaning is not okay. Giving 8 for the short duration of the episodes (cmon, they could have been a little bit more extended) and for the absence of cutscene after the credits (this is not very MCU in my opinion). Pretty excited for what will they deliver. Finally these two characters will have a proper introduction to the universe.",8
"Started watching episode 1, it was a jumbled mess of hot garbage. Didn't bother with the rest of the show. Don't waste your time watching this. It's méh at it's best. All these good reviews are written by overhyped fanboy's who have very low standards when it comes to the MCU.",1
"This movie was a supreme letdown.

It was overly long with dragged out scenes.

That it had some good actors is about the only redeeming aspect to it. Matthew McConaughey was superb as always but the movie wasted his talents. Mackenzie Foy as young Murph also was great. It had a good cast of essentially walkons which helped the movie.

Interstellar should have been cut down by at least 30 minutes.

The photography was brilliant but it was overloaded with special effects, and superfluous scenes reigned supreme in this flick.

A total waste of time.

Interstellar was more uninterestedstellar to me.",2
"If one already knew war is absurd, this movie will preach to the choir. If one did not know it, the movie will not convince otherwise. And, the First World War provides the most indisputable evidence of how absurd and pointless war can be.

But this movie is unique in that the stars of the show are not the actors but, instead, the unbelievably amazing skill, organization, professionalism, care and technical filmmaking excellence required to pull-off a two-hour movie in what is two long takes. I think there were three takes with an unseen ""cut"" in the water halfway through the second half of the movie. There is an obvious ""cut"" near the 66-minute mark that goes to black for several seconds allowing for the next long shot to start ""hours later"" and a less obvious cut in the water around the 85-minute mark. But I cannot write enough, or stress the point enough, of how fantastically difficult this technical undertaking was and how brilliantly they pulled it off. The detail required and achieved, the flawless timing of camerawork versus action as it happens, takes the audience by the hand and never lets go.

The flaw I find in all this is very simple. It's the question ""Why?"" Why is the one-shot necessary to the film? Is the technical excellence obscuring the fact that the story and the point are in fact rather mediocre? A great actor can take a mediocre script and turn it into a masterpiece. In this case, the actor, the star is not a human, but many humans, all behind the camera, delivering the film-making excellence that covers-up the mediocrity of the story. Yes, one has to find the courage to ask ""so what?"" even at the expense of lessening the overall hoopla this movie has generated.",6
"I usually agree with the general consensus on what makes a good film and what doesn't, but very occasionally I find myself watching a widely popular film and wondering what on earth people saw in it. 'Lost in Translation' is one of those films. It did nothing for me and I thought it was very average and even forgettable.

It doesn't matter to me how slow or subtle a drama film is, but I do expect it to connect with me and make me feel something. 'Lost in Translation' left me cold. I found it to be dull and uninspiring. The characters are wooden and emotionless. The plot does nothing and goes nowhere.

Maybe I will rewatch this film on another day and see it in another light, but on first viewing, 'Lost in Translation' is lost on me.",5
"This is the farcical side of hollywood. Cash grabbing tacticts are being devised to exploit our sentiments. It's a comedy movie in which the characteristic was hardly perceivable. They have included this in the war and the history genre, which in my opinion is a travesty.",2
"There's just too much of it... but if all you want is a lot of killing and two word sentences that are supposed to be cool, well...this movie's for YOU!

Hard to believe the high ratings when there are very good movies that i've seen low ratings for... oh, and...just can't WAIT for the sequel!

That's got to be a few hundred body count and 150 characters... but one thing i gotta say as a compliment for this film...it doesn't pretend to be anything else but what it is...",2
"Production: Terrible script. Story is a conceptual mess. Okay editing. Some scenes are redundant or oddly out of place. Ok CGI. At times it made it hard to follow the action scenes. 4/10.

On screen: Because of the script, the acting was bad all around. It seemed like Tom Hardy was just there to get each scene over with. Character decisions were questionable which made the acting unbelievable. Okay Cinematography. The lighting on the action scenes made it hard to follow. 2/10.

Content/Impact: This movie could've had a serious message about the correlation between child abusive parents and its effect on people, which in this case would be the serial killer Cletus Kasady aka Carnage. Could have been controversial if they made the antagonist more sympathetic, it would have made a better, more believable character. This is so because in real life, people aren't all good or all bad. That complexity is what makes humans human and in this case would make the antagonist more believable. Lastly I don't understand why Naomie Harris, Shriek, takes these roles or the fact that the filmmakers still create these demeaning roles for black women in a predominantly Caucasian cast. In this film, also in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies she plays Tia Dalma aka Calypso, she plays a powerful black woman who is and can be controlled by her white counterparts. These filmmakers are perpetrating this stereotype that the only way black women can be powerful is to be controlled by white men. Throughout this movie she's told to shut her mouth and gets slapped around a lot. This Imaging just demeans black women and to let us know that black women are only here to provide servitude and are less than. 1/10.

Overall: Terrible problematic movie. Only silver lining, if any, is the after credits scene. 2.3/10.",2
"Hi, I never knew this game existed, I watched the TV series and I thought it was good, but then I watched the video game and found out that Bella Ramsey's Ellie looks and behaves very differently than Ellie in the game, that's a BIG drawback for me, the real Ellie in the game doesn't behave as badly as Bella Ramsey, plus she's much prettier than the actress. Ramsey is a good actress, but maybe the script was poorly done, Ellie is not a spoiled brat like the one on the TV show, she is helpful and appreciative, not like on TV. I wish they had cast a better Ellie, Joel is fine, the rest of the cast (except Kathleen) is fine, maybe Tess is someone else who doesn't look the way she should. The TV series is fun and worth watching, but Ellie is a bit disappointing.",8
"I was greatly entertained by this movie at first. Up to the point where the lad won the first key, it was fine, absolutely fine, and I enjoyed the manic rendering of the VR game and the race. That exhilaration, was going to be hard to beat, and, sure enough, the movie fails to beat it. The lad was likeable, but the rest of the cast were so-so. There was no tension, and how are we supposed to respect a villain, when a women who works for him insults him so disdainfully. This is an example of political correctness in movies destroying the movie. Yes, it panders to feminists, but it destroys the villain, who should be respected and feared, not put down and mocked. We also get a tick-box set of nationalities as the cast, but there's no chemistry between the characters. All movies now are becoming the same. Finally, there are a bunch of plot-holes, but I can forgive a movie like this for plot holes IF the movie is good, and sadly, after the first third, this was ho-hum. The IOI corporation is mocked, but then again, but is corporate Hollywood any better?",4
"It was stupid. Just artistic trash. Really bad. I thought it had to get better, but it just got stupider. The main actress was fun to watch. Everything else was stupid, the creature especially.

"How this gets rated so high is beyond me. I wanted to like the new Punisher, but it's just NOT GOOD! The best of Netflix Punisher was season 2 of Daredevil. The writing in season one was not as bad as season 2, but neither were worth more than a 6 star rating.",6
"Another 'pretty' war film like 1917 that looks great and doesn't offer much more.

No characters to really connect with or much of a reason to care about them. Sure you want them to live but not really anyone in particular. If this was 100 000 penguins being attacked by wolves on the beach and sharks in the water...you would care way more about the penguins than the soldiers we are presented with. Such a waste of such a significant moment in time.",4
"The story is weak as it lacks a purpose and forward momentum, mostly being there to set up the next film in the series. Strong acting and great special effects throughout, although some of the characters felt unnecessary and it struggles to repeat the same magic and humour of the previous installments.",7
"The advent of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. marks a groundbreaking Marvel event which attempts to create another branch of the connective universe, this time in a weekly television format. Since the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has grown into a global phenomenon, the recently concluded series on Channel 4 warrants a meticulous diagnosis. The following is an attempt to dissect the strengths and weaknesses of SHIELD.

For the uninitiated, the acronym means Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division. A brainchild of Avengers scribe Joss Whedon, there is no blueprint or preconceived notion for such a show.

Resurrected Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) leads a completely new team in a world which has witnessed an alien invasion and where superheroes are the worst kept secret. The series offered an opportunity to examine the lives of the ordinary players as opposed to the gifted ones.

An intriguing pilot showed promise for an interesting season ahead. Premieres in UK and across the pond on Disney's resident channel ABC garnered the biggest network drama debuts respectively. However, marred by inconsistencies and a decline in quality of narrative, with one decent episode followed by a lackluster one, excitement for SHIELD quickly dissipated.

One of the primary limitations of the show was its inaccessibility to Marvel mainstays such as Iron Man and Hulk, which may have proved a hindrance. Perhaps viewers clamoring for a glimpse of the aforementioned characters misconstrued the meaning of the show, since the premise was always to delineate the adventures of the agents and the influence of superheroes, not the other way round. Also, it is likely that the writers were expected to tread with heed to avoid affecting the continuity adversely.

This led to plenty of lip service and gratuitous name dropping from the Avengers franchise. While the link to the MCU was always the USP of the show, the writers exploited this connection ad nauseam, long before the series was able to forge its own identity.

Serving as a bridge from cinema to television screens, Clark Gregg was quite often the saving grace of the main cast. What began as a scene stealing cameo in Iron Man was now a full-fledged role as the face of SHIELD. Gregg was consistently able to inject proceedings with his charm and wit.

The initial story arc of Coulson's uncanny recovery, following his demise in the Avengers, also provided Gregg to flex his acting muscles. The rest of the principle cast was less fortunate in this regard.

Certain characters and even actors were clichéd and suffered from lack of development, despite adequate time devoted to establishing said characters. Only wildcard computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet) was the best of a bad bunch. Apart from Agent Coulson, audiences may have struggled to rally behind the remaining characters.

A forte of SHIELD was the potency of its guest appearances. The reprisal of various roles from the MCU such as Director Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Agent Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders), Sif (Jamie Alexander) as well as priceless new additions such as Agent Garrett (Bill Paxton) helped considerably.

You know the main cast is woeful when I rave about the stellar guest appearances and cameos. The principle cast often lacked the refined qualities of the aforementioned actors.

Moreover, the transition from movies to television provided scope of portraying an exciting connectivity to Marvel franchises, including specific episodes attributed to plot threads from Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World and Captain America: The Winter Soldier, all of which were coincidentally released around the inception of SHIELD.

Ultimately, SHIELD'S salvation lay in the arrival of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which heralded a new dawn for the flat lining series. Those who have seen the excellent sequel will know that the collision of age old enemies Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D., which resulted in wholesale decimation, was central to the plot.

The cataclysmic events of Captain America 2 coincided with SHIELD and paid off extraordinarily well. The conspiracy angle, a highlight of the second installment, was at the forefront of a vastly improved third part of the season.

Since the fate of the titular organization rested firmly on said intrinsic twist, it is likely the writers may have held back to properly exploit this unique opportunity. The twist elevated the show generally with the actors now able to exercise their range while the writers were finally able to provide intriguing plot twists.

Furthermore, tie-ins to Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 were predominantly fruitful. Additionally, the writers also paid homage to Marvel comics by including characters such as Deathlok, Graviton and Blizzard.

While the MCU has gained universal acclaim for its game changing concept, reactions to SHIELD have been mixed. The first half of the season in particular, left much to be desired from both cast and crew. The renewal for a second season offers the chance to rectify shortcomings of the primary season.

The third half of the season had rejuvenated the show considerably. Here's hoping season 2 follows suit.",4
"After Netflix's The Umbrella Academy, I thought superhero genre can't be more different. TUA was good and different. But after watching The Boys, I know it can be more different. The series is a slow burn. The first few episodes are slow and only picks up pace afterwards. The final episode was one the best finale I have ever seen. The performances where good, costumes were good and the performances were very good. The series's dark and gory take did make a good impact on the overall. The Boys is simply one of the best series I have ever seen in superhero genre.",9
"Overhyped series.

Too many plot holes.

Story as lot of plot armour.

The main character is useless and who the hell gave him power to trvel time.

The base motive of whole series is to save his hinata which it self is hilarious.

He could have just said her to become police like naoto and evrything would have been to his liking.",6
"Apparently this was a vague idea that Steve Martin had for a while after he went to a function and saw several old show biz people together. He thought what about getting them to solve crime.

Roll forward and we have a show where we waited for each episode to drop.

The story is character driven. It gives us a slice of a particular strata of New York. They are not poor (mostly) and occupy an island of privilege. But they are fascinating to watch. The side stories are often rib crackingly funny. Yet there is empathy for even the most selfish antics of Martin Short.

This is a painting of New York as we want it to be.",9
I am absolutely baffled as to the reason why this film has received such praise. Best movie of the decade? Best Picture of the year? Uhmmm no way no how. The movie was perfectly fine. I'd go so far as to say it was an average movie... perfectly fine. Certainly not a film I would watch ever again though. 1917 was amazing in my opinion and should've easily walked away with Best Picture.,4
"Like many I only recently broke into the whole anime scene shortly after hearing the buzz around Attack on Titan. This is the very first anime series I've experienced so I judged it with the standards I would hold for any other none-anime TV series or movie.

The series has a fantastic start. The first 5 or 6 episodes completely exceeded my expectations - The music was great, the pacing, writing and directing was all near perfect, and the animation was well done. There were moments in this series that made me so shocked and amazed that I thought I was watching Game Of Thrones again. It also doesn't shy away from gore or sad themes, which is a plus. The actual concept of the story is extremely well realised, so I applaud the original manga for that.

Now, for the downsides. I am going to write more about this since everyone seems to be avoiding it. I'm not sure who said this anime has ""excellent characters"" but this is not right. The characters are VERY average. The main characters have SOME development, but generally remain the same throughout. The minor characters all seem to be 2D cutouts of your average teen drama with some exceptions. Character development, for the most part, seems to be exclusively limited to characters dropping on their knees, crying and doing an extensive monologue of past events, or what is to come. It may have worked well if it was used occasionally, but this technique is used multiple times every episode. There are some episodes which really seem to be fillers - one episode seemed to reuse a little too much footage from previous episodes, and another episode seemed to be jam-packed with voiced over none animated scenes. I felt like the last half of the series started dropping in and out of quality. You'll often find yourself - in later episodes - sitting through 13 minutes of stupid monologue only to get to the fully animated treats.

In conclusion, this is well worth watching. Plenty of ""WTF"" moments, emotional scenes and action in a well realised world. If you can look past the flaws I mentioned, you'll find a truly special experience.",7
"So I'm curious - this won awards with all of its plot holes and terrible ending? Can't decide what tone it wants to have, can't conclude a story, instead doing the most open-ended ending in the history of endings... Starts mini plots about people getting into a relationship that you'd think will lead to something, but instead just leaves it all hanging, and thus leaving me hanging after watching it for over two hours? And frustrated... And this won awards and is so overhyped?

Let's back up.

The concept is nice and simple - ""Parasite"" doesn't stand for yet another zombie movie, but rather a social parasite - a bunch of manipulative poor people slink their way into working for a rich family and eventually even living in their house.

It's a decent comedy, fairly original, but it's just... soooo... loooong.... Over 2 hours that feel like 5, and a lot of it is just boring talk that should've been cut. Because if that was done - this would've been a great comedy. Not ""ha ha!"" funny, but still quirky and weird enough to bring a smile to someone's face.

But it's long, not that funny, not that well written (borders on kid show-style comedy), and since it also doesn't have a single likeable character, I can't say I loved it.

I know idiots will write about ""metaphors"" and what not, even though this movie is basically beating you across the face with what it's about - there's no metaphors - don't expect anything too deep. Or deep at all.

The ending was pretty predictable, and shall we say -- NOT GOOD AT ALL, so yeah... I didn't really get much laughs out of this, it wasn't very interesting, and it ended in a way that made me feel like I really wasted my time there.",4
Enjoyed this series from start. But it has been getting better as it goes on. Looking forward to series 3,8
"May be, may be worst movie in my life..the Bangladesh that you have shown is not real Bangladesh ... Poor language that is not real bangla... Movie may be produced in india or some where else instead of Bangladesh .......please do your homework about culture of a country when you need to show them on screen..",1
The storyline is fascinating and attention to detail is amazing as well. I look forward to more episodes. I am reading reading the book series and have the characters in my head.,9
"I'm sorry but this film is of very poor quality, as an adventure film OK but as Sherlock Holmes no way, Robert Downey is to fat for Holmes, in fact the actor who played Blackwood was more like the Holmes we know, and why did they pick an American actor to play Holmes which is a very British Character l'm sure there are some excellent actors who could have been better, Jude Law was quite good as Watson (having been in the Jeremy Brett TV series when he was a young man) also l did not like the way Holmes was always unshaved and in filthy clothes, one review has said that Guy Richie has made Holmes right for a newer audience why change things that a a proved worth, also one real bad error in the film Holmes says to Watson's bride to be how pleased to meet you at last, Mary Mosten came to Holmes in The Sign Of Four after receiving a pearl every year on her birthday so he had met her already Guy Richie should do his homework, l suggest that you watch the Jeremy Brett TV series or listen to the BBC Radio series with Clive Merrison and Michael Williams as Holmes and Watson, sorry but this film in my opinion only rates 5- out of 10",5

"Black mirror has a unique vibe in its episodes. I really, really enjoyed the first 3 seasons. Season 4 had some great episodes, also some less entertaining episodes. But season 5 doesn't feel like black mirror at all. It seems like the technological dystopia that every great episode had, was not recognized in season 5. It felt more like 3 short mainstream films to me. Season 5 just wasn't dark enough and it was too expectable. The acting is good don't get me wrong, but the stories in the fifth season aren't like they were in seasons past. Seasons 1-4 a solid 9, season five a 6, but in terms of relevance to black mirror, I wouldn't even rate it.",8
"A sequel that proves to be just as good as its predecessor. Jungling a prequel story and at the same time continuing Michael Corleones story. Both working in tandum and in parallel with each other makes for a uniquely pleasing viewing experience.

Al Pacino returns as Michael Corleone and just like in the first film he delivers a phenomenal performance. Robert De Niro fills the role of a young Vito Corleone, it was absolute perfect casting. He was to a young Vito as Marlon Brando was to Don Vito Corleone.

Probably one of the best sequels of all time. Picks up where The Godfather ended, builds on, and continues the Corleone legacy.

IMDb: 10/10 Letterboxd: 5/5

"I had long heard about ""The Dark Knight"" but had waited 15 years until now to see it, and that long wait just makes the disappointment that much worse once you find out how mediocre this film really is. I thought the sound editing was terrible, with too many harsh pointless tones so common in Nolan movies. The film editing was atrocious, with scenes jumping quickly from one situation to the next while not showing the crucial action. The action direction was thus likewise poor making action scenes difficult to follow. The plot was also surprisingly abstruse for a comic book film, in a bad way. The script was not developed well enough to care about any of the characters. Bale mumbled all his lines so I could barely understand him. I thought Aaron Eckhert did best but I knew his role would be so depressing. Really the entire Batman universe has become much too bleak and depressing, and Nolan piles on top of that fact with the most bleak ending possible -- stating our hero must become the villain to save everyone. More inverted morality nonsense. Really wouldn't recommend this film to anyone, poor production, poor script, poor morals, basically zero to recommend it, almost no women in the film as well. Avoid, 2/10 rating.",2
"I watched this movie twice. The first time was because the movie was new. The second time was because I had time to kill one afternoon. I should have decided to raise sheep that afternoon or take up knitting.

It hasn't aged well. It is full of plot holes and I don't mean those that require scientific knowledge. If you are a scientist, it is even worse. It is shameful that Kip Thorne was associated with this mess of a movie. Really, a muppet would have done a better job.

Also McConaughey spends most of his time mumbling, and the audio mix is a complete mess, so most of the time you don't understand what is going on. Come to think of it, that may be a blessing.

I did not mean to ramble so long, but they now have a character limit on reviews.",2
"Captain America: Civil War

The good thing about being resuscitated today is Captain America and Bucky no longer have to hide their gay relationship.

Mind you, this action/fantasy still plays it as a brotherly bond.

When someone gains access to the Winter Soldier's (Sebastian Stan) trigger words, they order him to attack a UN conference on the registration of enhanced humans.

Now Cap (Chris Evans) and some like-minded Avengers (Elizabeth Olsen, Anthony Mackie, Jeremy Renner) are opposing Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.) and the rest (Scarlett Johansson, Paul Bettany, Don Cheadle) in order to protect Bucky, and their right to fight ungoverned.

While it's the third entry in the Cap franchise, Civil War feels like a mini Avengers movie considering the number of cameos in it. Fortunately, Cap remains at the forefront of this multifaceted and masterfully crafted chapter.

However, unlike America's other Civil War this version has a serious lack of Mutton Chops.

Who would have thought we see mischief Loki following others lead. Series started well but show became less interesting in later episodes.,7
"I am a huge fan of the books and more of the games, I was really looking forward to seeing the show and seeing what it has to bring to the table, but noticed that the acting and storyline wasn't at the level I expected.",4
Entertaining but....if you don't like or don't know Sam Raimi's movie in 80's you better go out. Not suitable or good for you. Good but not fresh story. It's Sam Raimi's Universe.,4
"Having been recommended by friends, I started watching the series. The first three episodes very very slow and I chose to fast forward the next 4 episodes. The thrill starts Episode 8 onwards and continued till the last. A very interesting story and a bias of loving superhero content kept me patient. Will not be waiting eagerly for the next season!",6
"So booring, I left the movie in the middle, I don't like the,it is long and repeated story",5
"July 26th, season seven of OITNB....but until then. I got to see SIX individuals from the show (writer included in this count) in this series....AWESOME.",9
"This show has a good cast, solid cinematography, excellent effects, all of the ingredients needed for a hit show. But it is missing the key ingredient, the one you cannot compromise on: good writing. The plot has more holes than plotlines, the dialogue is hammy, and the whole thing is just boring. The clumsy attempts to make it more woke serve only to distract. This feels like it was a script written by a committee. I am not sure I'm even going to watch the rest.",4
"Seriously guys u made my night some meaningful.......... (really it is 2.12 am). U guys are awesome...........superb concept to put in a very convincing way.... where in India, maximum people don't know the meaning of start-up........ It will really inspire the upcoming entrepreneurs. just finished watching the final episode...........loved it. Thank you TVF. I must say everyone should watch the show. It is not only for entrepreneurs but also for every person, to help them with their life, the youth,so that you get enough inspiration in your life and go ahead to achieve your dreams.could not write anything more,IMDb not letting me posting the review, so I had to join the last line.",10
"I am pleasantly surprised. This felt like a love letter to the Insidious and Conjuring Universe movies.

There was alot of dumb writing and dumb big budget horror stuff, BUT ultimately the good outweighs the bad.

Go in with low expectations and you will not be mad. Go in expecting a masterpiece and... well, I feel sorry for you.",6
"My wife is a big fan of Harry Potter and liked the first movie very much. She and I started the movie twice now, only to fall asleep within the hour. We just can't get to the end without getting so bored, that eventually we turn it off and decide to call it a night. This means that I've seen that first bit twice now, but I still don't get it. It's just so confusing and without a real story. The movie is all over the place. Like little snippets... I don't think I'll give it a third try.",4
"The show itself would be fine if it was just left as another teen drama because thats all it is, but the fact its held as being an accurate representation of suicide, depression, etc is what upsets me most about the show. There's problems everywhere but the biggest is the clear romanticizion of suicide/depression. This show could've done something good and had potential, it could've been a groundbreaking show with a good portrayal of mental illness. However, all it was was a character you feel no sympathy who uses suicide as a revenge mechanism as well as twisting it into something aesthetic. How can you look at the plot of a girl sending tapes to people telling them they are part of the reasons why she killed herself and not see anything wrong with this? The only thing keeping this from a 1 is solid acting (for the most part) and some good cinematography. If you want a good look at mental health, just go watch Bojack Horseman.",3
"I've never read any of the Umbrella Academy comics. So, I went into this series blind. I loved it. It had a good balance of drama, comedy and crazy action. After going back and learning about the Academy members comic origins, I could see the changes that were made. I thought these changes worked well to make some of them less overpowered and others more sympathetic.

Can't wait for season 2.",9
"The premise of the story I find intresting but, the show is not well done at all. The main issue is the writing. The dialogue is very unrealistic and threes a lot of cheesy jokes. The dialogue has a very broadcast tv feel, if you've ever seen crappy broadcast tv shows like designated survivor,ncis, the brave, etc the shows don't feel real, the characters don't feel real, that how lost in space is but, not as bad as some of the other shows I mentioned. My second issue with the writing is the story, they layout the story in a very simple black and white way, theres no complexity or nuance. It's worth watching if you have nothing else better to watch.

6.5/10 stars",6
"I personally felt this film was not to my taste. I went in expecting a nice meaty courtroom drama. Turned out it was something else entirely. Something bereft of any drama at all, really. This film is about a man who faces numerous obstacles that he needs to overcome in order to do the right thing. The problem is that each time he comes across an obstacle turns out all he has to do is simply ask someone to remove it for him! And for some reason they do it for him! Every single time! He does this over and over again throughout the film. It's ridiculous. If he can simply ask for whatever wants then there is nothing at stake. There is never any tension.

I wish I had not wasted my money. And I wish I had instead sat at home watching a tin of beans heat up in a microwave. And because everyone knows you can't put metal things in a microwave, it would have at least provided more drama and more tension than the entirety of this very long and very boring film.",2
Totally unexpected and out of the park crazy. I'm not a Superhero fan but ended up binge watching the lot in one sitting!,9
"Clearly riding the wave of The Conjuring universe, but in doing so it creates a dizzying sense of déjà vu that's completely unnecessary, stamping this reunion as the weakest link.",4
"I enjoyed this show for the most part. I enjoyed the dynamics between the characters, I enjoyed the arcs each character had and I enjoyed the action.

I really thought this show was good until the main antagonists showed up, the Flag Smashers.

They just sucked, such boring one dimensional characters especially the leader of the group, Karli. The show tried its hardest to make Karli and the Flag Smashers seem like this group with a righteous cause but in the end, they came off as annoying with no real purpose besides being in the way of our main characters.

Karli has gone down in my books as one of the most lamest villains in the MCU. She is one dimensional with no real character growth at all, she is the same person in the beginning till end. She's just a psychopath, an annoying psychopath at that. Also, WAY TOO OVERPOWERED.

However, I did enjoy almost everything else. I liked the Isaiah Bradley stuff, The Zemo stuff and the John Walker stuff but I feel like they could have cut some stuff out. I liked Sharon Carter and I don't really mind what happened to her compared to everyone else but she was really pushed into this show where she didn't really need to be. The show really was trying to do too much in too little time.",6
"If I were only rating the first season it would have been an 8. Unfortunately, the show falls into two traps. The first is the concept of danger driving the plot, the second is violating the internal logic of the first season which was quite clever.

The second season is quite repetitive in its episode structure, and the third season is better but it becomes rather sanctimonious and saccharin.

Watch the first season and enjoy it, it's great.",4
"This is what you expect from a short show like this. Great finale, superb performances and what matters the least is who the killer was. I must admit I almost didn't start watching it just because of Kate Winslet and I'm glad I did. I've definitely reconciled with her.",8
"I watched this movie because personally i'm a fan of Ben Affleck and his films have been good to great.

Argo is a true story and a real political thriller. It's a beautifully filmed and stunningly executed (just like ""the town""). And has an emotional ending. A must watch. I recommend this.

Overall - 3.5 / 5",7
A well written season 2 means I'm very much looking forward to Season 3.,9
There was a thin spindle of narrative that kept me interested enough to make it to the end; other than that it was 2 hours of constant noise and shouting. Very difficult to watch.,4
"I am giving 7 only because season 1&2 were great in terms of cinematography, characters, story. But season 3 is worth maybe 3*. Stopped watching season 3 after third episode. This is perfect example how to kill the good show. I dunno what happened to creators of the show, maybe ran out money or lost the joy and excitement from making first two seasons, but the choice of characters is very very poor, acting miserable, and story just extremely boring. Some very useless scenes just to extend footage. What a shame. It's painful to watch what it become. I just hope this will not damage Henry's reputation. Season 3 is simply something you don't want to put on a plaque and hang it in your wall.",7
"I thought it was gonna be an American Pie type of film. A dirtyish comedy. It wasn't. It was the most unfunny, imbecilic, filthy piece of garbage I ever had the misfortune to come across. And Russell Brand is so gay and annoying. How he's meant to be a comedian in the UK I don't know. I didn't make it to the end. I don't know who this film is meant to be aimed at. There is no plot, just a bunch of talentless, dull ugly, badly educated, arrogant people thinking they're are the cleverest, funniest people in the world.",1
"Por Thozhil is a huge triumph of conviction. Both Alfred Prakash and Vignesh Raja deserve to be praised for their exceptional writing skills. Although it follows the same template, patterns and tropes like many other thriller films, the character development, alone, is so satisfying (in terms of how the lead characters; Prakash and Loganathan evolve dynamically) that it makes Por Thozhil stand out, compared to the other movies that belong to the serial-killer-investigation sub genre.

Por Thozhil is essentially a technical film. The reason it takes time to flesh out its lead characters and relies heavily on building the tension and drama rather than compromising the film's screenplay and core values by adding commercial elements, is clearly because director Vignesh Raja's aim was to realistically envision and explore the criminology aspects of murder investigations and the psychological aspects of a maniac's mind and childhood. Vignesh Raja has made a nearly flawless film, and its biggest strengths lie within its screenplay, which keeps the audience engaging all the way towards the climax.

Unlike the majority of thriller films that have been released in the past few years in Kollywood, Por Thozhil has a lot of scenes with intensity that truly pay off as solid pack of thrills. Speaking of intensity, Jakes Bejoy's eerie background score definitely sets the tone and mood perfectly, which also contributes to uplift the film to a whole another level. The decorative, ravishing cinematography by Kalaiselvan Sivaji and the neat editing by Sreejith Sarang really go hand to hand and sync with each other very well.

Ashok Selvan, an atypical actor who has delivered remarkable performances in the past decade has delivered yet another prodigious performance in this film. Thegidi is probably one of the most important films in his career, and to see him coming back to the thriller genre with Por Thozhil is so refreshing. Veteran actor R. Sarath Kumar, on the other hand, has delivered his most prestigious performance of his career. What makes these characters interesting is the chemistry, bond and interaction between them. Both of these characters have beautiful character arcs that elevate the film's quality, while the costume colors symbolize their personality, characteristics and shades splendidly. Nikhila Vimal has also delivered a stellar performance in the given screen time, even though her character was underutilized. Both antagonists show a tremendous sense of evilness which makes this crime thriller more intriguing.

Although the film has memorable characters, a dark, gritty story, and stellar performances from the cast, Por Thozhil is not perfect. The motive of the antagonists could have been a notch better, as the motive presented in the film is not as convincing as one might expect. The story gets a little predictable towards the end as well, but those are the only flaws that I could find in this movie.

Overall, Por Thozhil is a smart, effective and engaging thriller that will get you hooked already within its first five minutes. It's nearly 2,5 hours long, but since the film is extremely well paced it felt like an hour just evaporated while I was watching it. Another great addition to Ashok Selvan's admirable filmography.",8
"Love it 😍 it's a great show,hope to see more of it",10
Dont waste time on this movie.i had better expectations bc of DC,2
"I wanted to like this series. But after S1E1, I will reluctantly wait for episode 2. None of the actors grab you in any way shape or form. I feel as if way less effort was put into this series perhaps with the expectation of riding on coat tails of GoT. This was tough to make it through! I hope it gets better. It can't get much worse for an opening episode of this new series!",3
"This movie, that's what. For the first 2.5 hours, it's easily a ten star movie. Then it feels like Nolan had no idea how to end it, so he kind of makes something up on the spot, but knowing that it's a load of crap, he makes it as complicated as possible in an attempt to distract the viewer from how awful the ending truly is. Just terrible. I feel robbed of a good ending, and I will go to bed tonight grumpy because of this movie.

It had a chance to be one of the best movies ever made (and I do not say that lightly), but instead it flopped harder than any movie I've seen before. Honestly, it's how good it started that makes this so disappointing. Thoroughly, undeniably disappointing. I mean, he really had something here. It could have been so great.

In summary, don't get your hopes up, or prepare yourself for nonsensical tomfoolery.",1
The movie plot is so simple and boring. The actings are good but the pace of the movie is so slow. Characters in the movie are just plain stupid.,4
"What a letdown! If there was a story in this movie, I could not find it. Seems an assembly of setups, incredible special effects, and bewildered looking actors. It seems the actors had trouble figuring out why they were there. From the ending, it appears there will be a follow-on film. I hope they will make a better attempt at simple story telling.",3
"How does this guy keep getting paid to churn out awful movie after awful movie. And. To think. They are making more of these. The first one was okay at best. This one. Absolute trash. From the beginning, the dialogue tries too hard to sound smart. All it does, makes the one dimensional characters, even less engaging. Why does any actor want to act for this director. This movie was okay till the end. Then. It turns into one woman's temper tantrum. She has every right to be upset. But. The ending basically craps all over the somewhat competent set up to that point. Rian Johnson hope I spelled his last name right. Simply does not know how to write and finish a story. He is a terrible writer. He pretends to be so smart in his writing yet. Always writes himself into a corner. And. Disappoints. Avoid this trash.",3
This movie had amazing action scenes but that's... all. The story was super boring and the try-to-be-funny dialogue was extremely awkward. I really wished I didn't spent money too see this.,2
"I understand why so many liked this show. But just imagine how brillant the Comics from Garth Ennis are, when I tell you this show is total BS compared with the original story. It seems clear now, that no TV Station or streaming service has the balls to really realize a true Garth Ennis show. He is so much darker, deeper then the flat realization for the flat screen.",6
"What an incredible sci fi thriller revolving around the teens. The vision of this shows creators might say resembles with the mutant experimentation(like in XMen) as far as mysterious girl Eleven(their very own Jean Grey) is concern. But how they represents her is pretty unique and interesting. Actoress who played that role done amazing job.

Acting of each and every actor in this show is amazing. Acting of teens are one of the highlight.You will surely fall in love with these characters they are as good.

And the story and the plot is next to the movie level...amazing..catches the interest of sci fi thriller lover like me.

That's why due to such reasons it's getting so much appreciation around the globe I m not surprised...

Give a try to it you will surely love it and will make others to watch like I'm doing right now. It will takes care the interest of all.",8
"I'm reserving judgment on Moon Knight until I see more of the season. But wow, it is just such a relief to watch a Marvel show that isn't spending at least 30% of its time making references and seeding connections to other parts of franchise.",8
"I'm not sure if there's already a movie created that's similar to this but I think Christopher Nolan might have created something original here. Nolan brought something fresh on the table with his exploration on dreams and the movie's concept of stealing and planting of an idea.

Despite the movie looking cool and massive, I can't help but get the feeling I had when I watch Memento. Similarly, I felt like I haven't seen anything like it before but it's basically just it. Both of the films, in my opinion, boasts in style but offers pretty simple plot (if you really think about it).

Simple plot is not a bad thing. But in the case of Inception, it felt so overwhelming complex and sometimes, tedious. It's visually beautiful but felt emotionally empty. The absurdity and rejection of realism is understandable but the moments of humaness feels lacking due to the constant chase and over-the-top visual effects.

Nonetheless, I still had fun watching it and would recommended everyone to see it.",7
"Ok I'm probably the one of the biggest Nolan Fans. All his previous movies were breathtaking and amazing. This movie however, cinematography was ok. But loud music then complete silence then again same thing. Long cuts. This movie made me bored in middle and i had to see it in skips.

I know Nolan and team tried but it just didn't work for me. Just nothing i feel after watching this. Can't recommend. There are many war movies lot better than this.",4
"Stranger Things is Netflix's latest original series to hit the network. From everything I've seen that has the Netflix stamp on it, I'm yet to be disappointed. With that and great reviews of this series, I was really excited to finally get into Stranger Things and check it out for myself.

Like most Netflix series, they are designed to be binged, and Stranger Things is no different. This 8 episode series plays like a movie. While it has no reflection of the quality of the show itself, I think it's a massive credit to the writers and directors to make this seamless series feel like an 8 hour movie. Unfortunately I was unable to watch it all back to back, with the longest session being the final 4 episodes. However with it only being 8 episodes, this is a series you can easily re-watch in the space of a day. And for me, this is one I'm going to watch this one a few times over.

Stranger Things is at the heart a mystery/thriller/horror series. Plot wise, when I was watching it I thought it had an Insidious feel. Without going deep into plot points, if your a fan of the Insidious franchise than you will be completely onboard with the plot line in this series. The whole time you are watching it you are trying to work out what is actually going on. I went into this series completely blind from trailers and synopsis so everything to me was a big mystery. I know at this point it may have been hard to skip all this stuff but I you can, I heavily suggest you go in as blind as you possible can.

Again without giving too much away, I thought the main cast were fantastic. I thought everyone nailed their role that all played into the final bigger picture. Everyone from Winona Ryder as the mother, David Harbour as the chef and Matthew Modine as a mystery scientist. For me though, a big credit to the child actors throughout this series, especially Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven. I thought she played the mysterious role better than anyone else in the series. What made her performance so great was that for the most part, she didn't say much, but when she did, she spoke it with a sense of naivety and unawareness that her character is portrayed as. On a side note Dustin was by far my favourite character. For the most part he was the comedic relief of all the tense sense and I thought Gaten Matarazzo handled the role perfectly.

For many people, the biggest appeal of this series is the 80s feel. Even though I was born in the 90s, watching this series heavily reminded me of the feel I got as a kid when I watched those 80s movies such as ET. From what I've heard from people who had their childhood based in the 80s, the way the child cast is portrayed as they typical 80s kids is spot on. For me personally I saw the connection between the kids in Stranger Things and those in ET. On a side note, my favourite thing they did to set the tone of the 80s was the opening credits. Everything from the font to the music felt completely 80s. I'm not sure if the opening credits was filmed on film but the way the text never say flush and the white flickers that is typical in film really set the tone of what the series would be.

Stranger Things is one of those rare series that once you sink you teeth into it, your hooked. I thought it was a great all round story that had a big sense of start, middle, end that we typically find in movies. It's really hard to pin point anything specifically that I didn't like about this series apart from not being able to watch it all in one day and not growing up in the 80s to allow me to completely relate to the nostalgia and characters of the series. I think if I grew up in the 80s this would of been a home run but because I at times struggled with that connection, it feel a bit short.

"A good movie is supposed to savor in our thoughts, like a good wine ages to perfection. This film only got more rotten the more its plot and characters visited me after the initial viewing.

Some characters were only there for representation and served no real purpose to the plot. I think they have duped us as an audience, conned into thinking we like something that is actually trash with a mediocre plot. The great detective solved the case by realizing how stupid the killer was.

Maybe that's just the way of the filmmakers thinking that we are stupid as an audience and we are stupid enough to fall for this stupidity.",3
"This movie's been on my IMDB wishlist since just after it came out. I've enjoyed all of the Conjuring movies and the Nun one, and I saw the Creation. They were all good. This one was not good. In fact, it was horrible. Sad really. It was sophomoric and very badly done. The story was lazy. Decent effects might have helped but there weren't any. And why did Mary Ellen tuck Judy into bed, seeing that the Annabelle doll was beside her and say nothing? That made no sense whatsoever! If you haven't don't bother.",1
"I'm English born in 1975 and I remember the events. I used to watch the China syndrome before it happened and have visited the visitor centers in nuclear power plants in the UK before I went on a Chernobyl tour so have always been fascinated by nuclear power. This show, like band of brothers and other real life based dramas Chernobyl is essential viewing by people now and generations to come to learn from and see that real life can be scarier than a horror film. Im now on episode 4 as I write this and the realism is harrowing and breathtaking. The hospital scenes in episode 3 freaked me to the point had I watched this before my trip in 2008 I'd have second thoughts about going. But I did go and it was a fascinating day in the zone by reactor building 4 before the new containment enclosure was built and saw pripyat. The drama shows the human side of the people who lived in pripyat, the horrors the emergency services, public and liquidators and miners encountered. It can be difficult viewing but it's essential viewing. Great work done by crew, writer and director.

Animal lovers should know too that the zone is full of wildlife now and there are hundreds of cats and dogs now which come up to you and are friendly",9
"Season 3 of the Witcher certainly has its flaws but what it is... is more faithful to the books than either of the two preceding seasons. Amazingly so and although some of the scenes are a bit flat, the attempt to stay true to the books is evident to anyone who has read them, in story, plot and progression.

Those complaining that series 3 strayed from the books have evidently not read the books, not read time of contempt and don't know their proverbial backside from the elbow when it comes to the books.

Or they wouldn't be spouting such utter garbage.

Rate the show bad if you don't like it, but don't jump on the ""Not faithful to the books"" bandwagon, because you heard Cavill was leaving because he felt the series wasn't faithful to the books. That may have been the case in the first 2 seasons but season 3 was as faithful as could be to the books.",8
"Sherlock is a phenomenal television series with a very well fleshed out episodes that are all film worthy, and a stand out cast. Prior to this series release, I think anyone would have considered placing the characters of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson in modern times to be a concept that would never work, and yet here we are, praising this show, rightfully, as being one of the greatest adaptations of the character to date. Each and every episode is special, intriguing and unique, none ever being similar to another. Each one also runs at 90 minutes, meaning the whole series is really just a collection of stellar Holmes movies.

The only issue I would have with the series is its lack of character development for anyone other than Holmes and Watson. I obviously understand that they are the two that the series focuses on the most, but the likes of Mycroft Holmes, and even the title character's housemaid Mrs. Hudson, have so much potential to stretch beyond what we see of them, and it's characters like these that I would love to see further developed in possible future episodes.

Every part in this series is perfectly casted. Benedict Cumberbatch is, without a doubt, my favourite Sherlock to date, he delivers the part with so much intellect and thought, we are truly watching a genuine talent and a dedicated actor at work with this role. Martin Freeman also shines as Watson, adding a lot of humanity to the character and serving perfectly as the voice of reason to Holmes, and his chemistry with Cumberbatch is undeniable. They are also joined by memorable performances from the likes of Rupert Graves, Mark Gatiss, Una Stubbs and Andrew Scott.

The show never lingers or takes things slow, there is never a dull moment. Well written, acted and directed, Sherlock is a truly engrossing series that all fans of the character should check out, as well as anyone interested in a good drama or mystery series.

Set in modern day London, Sherlock Holmes investigates crimes and mysteries with his colleague Dr. John Watson.

Best Performance: Benedict Cumberbatch

Best Episode: The Sign of Three / Worst Episode: The Hounds of Baskerville",9
"This movie is a bad movie. When I watched this, I had no expectations. I didn't really know what to expect. I was never much of a Batman fan, so I just watched this movie to have some fun.

The first half hour of the movie is excellent. The rest is just bad. Christopher Nolan does not know how to make good action sequences. He just pretends there's an earthquake and shakes the camera a lot. So we don't really see anything.

But the big problem is the plot, the story. Like I said, the first half hour is excellent. Liam Neeson is great, and Christian Bale seems to be a more real, emotional Batman. But then... poof. After the first half hour, the emotion disappears. It just turns to another usual ""bad guys have some evil plan to destroy the city"" plot. And the emotional, more human Batman also disappears. And instead, we get the usual Batman... just another super-hero. But this time, he's in crappy action sequences. Chrsitian Bale doesn't need to act. Because it's just bad action sequences after bad action sequences, and he just needs to say his lines without emotion. It's the action that matters. Because it's just another blockbuster. And then there's the terrible twist, that completely ruins Liam Neeson's character.

Fortunately, Katie Holmes saves the movie.

(Note: I'm being ironic. Katie Holmes is TERRIBLE, and she needs some acting lessons).

So, overall, what is Batman Begins? Well, it's a blockbuster. With bad action sequences. And a story with no heart. The first half hour is excellent, but that doesn't make up for two hours of bad cinema.

It's just a bad movie.",4
Purely made just to be flashy and have Ryan Reynolds be his lovable self to try save it.,2
"I love Sandler and wanted to see him in something that wasn't comedic and I worked in the jewelry industry . Gave this a try. The music, or whatever that was that played through the first 15 minutes of this film was some of the most obnoxious noise I have ever heard. It took everything I had just to keep from not changing the channel and going to something else. It was a mediocre movie at best, no characters to like or empathize with, just alot of loud nasty people. Don't waste your time",2
"""Gen V"" is a series that features a diverse and interesting cast, each character with their own story and personality, creating a connection with the audience. Similar to ""The Boys,"" the series offers a compelling plot that deconstructs the superhero subgenre, keeping viewers engaged throughout the season. The pacing is excellent, with well-edited episodes that keep the audience involved. The presence of Easter eggs for fans of the original series is natural and unforced.

The plot is full of plot twists and surprises, leading to changes in feelings towards the characters. The creative freedom of the production team is evident in the development of the plot, the peculiar superpowers, and the brilliant dialogues. However, despite enjoying the plot, the author feels that the main issue could have been explored further.

There are secondary narrative arcs that could have been richer and concluded in this season. The series may not be accessible to new viewers unfamiliar with ""The Boys"" universe, and some people may feel lost or not understand certain dialogues or situations. The author suggests a more in-depth contextualization to make the spin-off more accessible to new viewers.",8

"====May Contain 'General' Spoilers===== I don't blame the actors for this letdown. It was really the script. The storyline was all over the place. There was no explanation about why his parents were important. His origin, their origin, nada. He just cried",2
"I know this is an issue of personal taste, but this one is not for me. I enjoyed the first couple episodes, but it got way too mystic too fast for me. I can't believe I got to episode 7. I was looking forward to some kind of believable explanation for what's going on, but it's all mystic and boogeyman type stuff. It does have beautiful cinematography and good acting, but they don't make up for the story in my books.",6
"HBO had such a hit with Game of Thrones, how can they follow it up with this sleepy, mid evil soap opera? No strong characters, no mystery plots, nothing exciting about this show at all.

Come HOB you have a chance for another winner here and you are blowing it, big time.

Where is the drama? Where are the evil characters? Matt Smith improperly cast in his role! The young lady playing the princess, is not believable! I could go on & on but what is the point, the show is a dud, beyond repair.

Not sure how or if HBO can resurrect this, likely too late. So, don't waste your time hoping for a GOT sequel, it's nit here.",1
"This movie is revolves around multiple groups of peoples and some commoners, knowing the politics came in front and fight for their rights, they hinders them at every point of their work, commoners also tries to humiliate them by making women as their bet for them, and if women are failed they used to appoint some job seekers and tries to hinders them by threatening them. These people want to save their work from some wrong handed peoples only, but commoners makes their situation worst by using law in hand, Movie is made up of story which is over thinking process of a system, which think a man is superior by power only, then some people still fights against the system but system tries to hinders them by commoners. Movie is nice to watch.",9
"Describe Pulp Fiction in one word: impossible. Because it's impossible to describe it one word, so I'll use many: a complex, interwoven modern day fable with characters as colorful as an Alice in Wonderland rendition. This film, on the surface, appears to merely be an exploitation flick, mindless in its execution and gratuitous in its violence. On the contrary! The violence, while shocking, serves the purpose of jolting us out of our everyday life - it speaks to us, and ABOUT us, in ways that your average Hollywood popcorn movie can. We get to see the humour in murder. Injected with black as night humour, it tells the tale of a group of criminals ""behind-the-scenes."" We see their everyday conversations, fueled by intellect, wit, and poetry, debunking the stereotype that murderers are devoid of any real intelligence. Pulp Fiction is a film for the ages.

In all honesty, I gave this film a low score because it's ridiculously overrated. Personally, I can't stand hearing QT's pretentious dialogue and the ""look-how-cool-I-am"" style really grates on my nerves. It's pretty popular to like this movie, so maybe I just have to hate everything popular, but that's obviously not the case, so...I don't know what it is. Mass brainwashing and hysteria over this egotist that likes to write himself into cool parts in his films so he can suck women's toes?",6
"Another woke take on Agatha Christie, with a not-very-subtle subtext about white male privilege despite its white male director Rian Johnson. And yet, even more than in the first film, the ethnic lady sidekick totally lacks the star quality needed to lead a film; so we are back relying on middle aged white men, Edward Norton doing an Elon Musk-type turn and Daniel Craig with his ever-growing pout and his outrageous 'Flowwda' accent. There is good support from the reliably funny Kate Hudson, too. They carry things along nicely enough for the first hour or so, but as soon as the film starts to delve into its back-story it starts to disappear up its own wotsit - not only politically, but artistically, as it relies on one of the tiredest and lamest devices in the movie repertoire. Johnson sounds as though he was a little embarrassed to resort to it, and well he might be.

And about the 'Glass Onion' image - it wasn't that clever in the original Beatles song (more white men I'm afraid!); it certainly doesn't add anything to this.",3
"There are a lot of intense action scenes but they are not as detailed, unique, and intriguing as they are being praised for. To elaborate, the fight scenes seemed to be fairly average hand to hand combat that gave me the impression that I had seen all those sequence of moves done before on the big screen. In other words seen one seen them all. After a few days of processing my thoughts about the movie I came to the conclusion that many characters were not even necessary and could have been omitted all together along with their side story/sub plots. For example, the Vision, Ant-Man, Spider Man, and (dont kill me, hear me out) Black Panther all could have been left out of this movie and we would probably love it the same. Don't get me wrong they were all awesome in their own way yet they were also somewhat insignificant to the main plot that they could of all been introduced right before the main fight scene, like Spidey, to do their dirt really. The business side of this movie was evident that they just wanted more characters to push box office sales. Introducing black panther felt very ""thrown in there"" like. There was no mystery to it, just a ""hey, oh yeah Im now the King of Wakanda and Black Panther everyone."" I think his inaugural debut should have been an origin story seeing as though he is a lesser known hero in the MCU. Vision being in the movie made was a dud. He is far more powerful than he is made out and extremely under utilized when it comes to major threats against his allies, smh, and he misses his target like he isn't an advanced technological superhero. Did Iron Man really need to recruit a 16 year old to help out. Like where was MARK 50-100 right!? I could go on and on about unnecessary characters so back to the story. It was all over the place and you can tell that they picked and pulled from different decades of the original comics to make the story work for the movie, in which there isn't really a super villain....Zemo. It was like the Mandarin all over again in my opinion. That has to be the biggest upset in the story of all. Idk...I give it 2 star for almost staying true in effort and 4 for good action.",6
"When Moon Knight was first announced, comic book fans freaked out and were joyful for this great character to appear in the MCU. For the Marvel media bandwagon fans, many scratched their heads and asked ""who""? Unfortunately, both groups of fans would find the beginning of this series to be awfully slow and uneventful. The first 4 episodes sets up the potential to see Moon Kinght in action, but fails to show any action. While it's a cool decision to make the main character ""blank out"" whenever he switches personalities, doing this every single time is frustrating as we cannot see the ""Marvel Batman"" in action. The characters in this story are painfully written, where the only purpose of their actions is to push the story along, making the story feel clunky and unauthentic. The story also falls victim to illogical inconsistencies which leaves you questioning characters dumb actions instead of being enamored by the story.

On the positive side, unlike the other Marvel series, the production and cgi of Moon Knight looks like 6 individual movies. The acting is superb, with high remarks to the actors making something out of a sloppy script. Moon knight's costume designs are a great example of bringing comic book costumes to life. But what revives this show to its higher rating is the last two episodes. The twists and turns episode 5 brings really sets this series apart from any Marvel or even Disney media. I would dare say the writing for Episode 5 rivals many great psycho thriller movies. Had this been the writing and design of the whole series, we would be seeing something authentically new that challenges what we are used to watching.

A summary of this series: slow build-up, mysterious, and different.",7
"Almost there, good start ,nice action and interesting. Dropped off midway and the ending ,meh. Sandra's expressionless mug didn't help.",6
"Back when this mammoth of a movie was released, I was not really impressed with it as a whole, but I liked the action, set pieces and parts of the story. I originally saw it as badly written, expensive fan service meant to sell a lot of toys, and for manbabies to overobsess about it for months, like they always do.

I rewatched it recently, and apart from a few scenes, I find it hard to enjoy as a whole even now. However, I realized 'Civil War' isn't badly written - it's written for gullible kids as the main audience in mind. I was disappointed with myself for setting high expectations on a toy commercial.

The writing is atrocious, but I was still surprised, since McFeely & Markus wrote 'Captain America: The First Avenger', a movie with a way better story and tighter script. The dialogue switches from childish and inane to preachy and pompous. The directing is what it is; I didn't expect much from the 'Community' guys. The 2nd unit team did a hellova great job with the action scenes though.

The color grading is so boring and uninspired for a supposedly colorful comic book movie; hence why the 1st 'Captain America' is supreme. The constant change of locations is a cheap copout for lack of engaging storyline. As is the segment with Pepper Pots, the dead relief workers in Sokovia. And let's not talk about the supposedly closed society of Wakanda. Or letting terrorists like Cpt. America walk free.

I deeply disliked the inapt shoehorning in of Black Panther, it was unnecessary, but it wasn't as bad as his mentally challenged character with no depth. The entire movie is a glorified, expensive toy commercial. As a whole, it's dumbed down for mass consumption and often I rolled my eyes so hard, I got an aneurysm. Not worth another rewatch.",6
"Bird Box have great potential. It could have been a great movie like A Quiet Place with a good direction and screenplay. Bird Box lacks this and falls out to be a bad movie. The performances where also not so good. Overall, Bird Box is another Netflix movie which we should forget.",4
"Entire content is written to the headline, it's a movie about escaping from prison. Plus, you learn some history of Republic of South Africa and that's all. At the same time, it's a good example how to keep tension high from the beginning to the end.",7
"I was seriously disappointed by Lost in Translation. Every critic LOVED this, but absolutely nothing happens. Well, that's not entirely true: every once in a while, a Japanese person does something so unbelievably wacky and nonsensical that it strikes you as cheap if not outright racist. As a storyteller Coppola has nothing interesting to say and takes two hours to say it. I'm a huge Bill Murray fan and I thought it was mostly a waste of his talents, and a waste of time.

L.I.T. is a good example of a film that is praised as an insightful ""character study"" yet it told me very little about the characters. There's a lot of meaningful stares and longing looks, but we don't really get to know who these people are, because the movie is so light on details that actually matter, so light on action, and so preoccupied with its mood. Of course ""action"" can manifest itself in many ways, and the importance of an action may seem small but may be set up to have dire consequences. In this movie, for example, the act of simply knocking on a hotel door, or of sending your husband carpet swatches, are filled with more meaning than they would be in any other movie. Those moments were good. But it also had so much filler, including many meaningless, wordless minutes of sightseeing and lying around, and the aforementioned ""aren't those Japanese wacky"" moments, and a long, long scene where they sing Karaoke. For me it wasn't nearly enough. I don't need (or even want) a formulaic Hollywood story, but a good movie goes somewhere, and build in some way to something. For a highly praised art film, I was just surprised at how ultimately insignificant L.I.T. was. 3/10.",3
"I love action Movie and Michael Bay , but the should be more pay attention on the details as they showing florence and then siena and back to florence , if you know what a mean , they should not mixed up two different city and say that was all made in florence , wrong wrong my friend . enjoyed the action part bu the rest should do much more better",6
"This show exceeded my initial expectations by leaps and bounds. At first glance, it seemed deceptively simple - a woman reliving the same day - how much could really unfold? Yet, to my pleasant surprise, ""Russian Doll"" delves far deeper. With a dash of Nadia's wit and a touch of her dark humor, the narrative takes flight. The supporting characters are impeccably crafted, but it's Nadia who truly steals the spotlight; her magnetic presence is simply irresistible.

The visuals and camera work continue to shine, a testament to their remarkable quality. They elevate the storytelling, drawing us deeper into the intricate world of the show. The episode length strikes a harmonious balance - not overly prolonged to induce boredom, yet leaving us yearning for more with each installment.

As for the much-debated second season, the critical backlash seems puzzling. While it's true that some might find it intricate to keep pace with, or possibly lacking in intensity for a few, I personally found it an engaging journey. It's a testament to the show's ability to evoke diverse reactions while keeping us intrigued.",9
"Sandra Bullock plays a harsh, survival-driven mom in this big budget mishmash of several preceding genre films. Amidst a chilly natural backdrop and some violent, high-pressure scenarios, we revisit the awkward suicide device of The Happening, the heavy-handed sensory horror gimmick of A Quiet Place and the grim, dystopian parenting themes of The Road. A few scenes stand out, rare moments where Bird Box dares to set itself apart and try something different, but they don't last long and for most of the running time the thematic similarities are tough to escape.

Bullock's performance is similarly on-and-off. In the harsh opening scene, wherein she barks out a series of chilly, no-nonsense instructions to her two very young children, she's excellent. Stuck in an impossible situation, she hasn't the luxury for compassion nor softness, though her eyes bely an external poker face. Her role peaks in that first scene, however, and as the film staggers to its conclusion, she proves unable to cover for some very questionable screenwriting decisions.

Much of the film's most pressing questions go unanswered, left to vaporize in viewers' minds, and while that could be chalked up to atmosphere in the hands of a proficient writer or director, Bird Box is blessed with neither. Instead, it just feels lazy, especially when paired with an abundance of plot holes and silly coincidences. I appreciate what it was trying to be, but I don't really care for what it became.",4
There was no point of anyone that isn't named Brad Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio in this movie. They have no purpose at all. Just a meandering movie with little to no substance.,5
"I loved, loved, loved this film. It had great actors, a great plot, and the perfect balance of drama and comedy. I didn't know what to expect when I was watching this movie. The beginning was funny so I was like ""Oh, a comedy!"" Then there was a devastatingly upsetting part. ""A tear jerker?"" Then a few parts where I was sitting on the edge of my seat. ""A suspense film?"" It had it all. I was laughing hysterically until I couldn't breathe, I was crying, I was on the edge of my seat… Though I had some issues with the ending, overall I enjoyed it greatly and would love to see it again. I will not discuss my issues with the ending because I do not want to give anything away. There is nothing worse than seeing a movie and knowing the ending.",8
DeNiro was slow. Zero energy. Shut it off after 30 minutes or so. Just seemed like a bunch of has-been cinema tough guys trying to rekindle the glory days. But it wasn't happening. Not even close. Make up (trying to make them look young) was distracting to say the least. Couldn't get through it.,2
"What a spectacular tv show! Honestly, it's something else! Just finished watching the last episode, and this is an absolute epitome of fantasy.

There isn't much else to tell, if you are a fan of marvel, and mainly a fan of fantasy, then you know that's on the highest possible level.

The main actors are pretty suitable for the role.

Sets and costumes - pretty decent.

And for the rest of the words required from IMDb, I will just type in some general things about the show.

6 episodes are mostly to be binge watched, as it is very hard to not keep watching, it's super interesting and you just want to know what happens next. Lots of play twists. So excited for season 2!",9
One of the best film of 2015 and it's story is gripping and grounded with fresh story and Anushka Sharma really steals the show. Overall a excellent movie.,10
Inspiration 0 for this series. Season 1 just have mediocre things nothing to make this show intersting.,1
"First of all, I was very doubtful when Henry first got the role, and I was thinking ""Really? Superman?"" But how wrong I was that the performance from Henry is outstanding and I can feel that he is Geralt.

I have read the first novel and played the Witcher 3. The Witcher 3 is such a masterpiece that immediately after finishing the game, the emotion I felt was something I've never felt before, felt like losing a lifelong friend. But the show hasn't delivered that, partly I think it's based on the novel which consists of different short stories rather than one consistent story. I think the writer should take more time building the characters and give more time for characters to interact with each other (many things are missing from the novel and even if it's not on the novel, I think It's worthwhile to let the characters interact and build emotion with each other). Because a lot of the scenes, the characters are just full on emotions without blending into it and sometimes it just feels like staged (not sure if it's because of the writing or the acting).

I really hope season 2 can take more time to build the characters and please take more time for audience to think and look at the lesser evil and greater evil choices, not just full on, throw it out there like it's script.",9
The whole premise of the show seems intriguing but the show is very slow with not much going on I don't understand why the rating is so high maybe is all the Gomez fans.,7
"I usually like the Marvel films but this one just didn't inspire anything in me and when it comes out to buy on digital I will pass.

The acting was fine but the story line was boring a predictable.",3
"Somewhat a dark comedy, but quite boring in fact. Seems like all the hype is artificially generated.",1
"I really enjoyed season 1 and 2, and then it began to decline. Slowly, the episodes began to story further and further from the original premise of the show. And then I got to season 6. You can't just replace the best characters in the show that quickly. Especially because it was the last season. Just stick with the first three seasons.",4
"The movie is entertaining in a lot of different ways, the action and comedy moment are fun to watch. The story has some good plot holes but overall I enjoyed it.

According to my rating strategy : Story : 0.5/2 (Okay), Task Fulfillment : 1/1, Directing, Cinematography and Soundtrack : 1/2 (Good), Cast : 1/2 (Good), Wow Factor : 0/1, Viewer : 1.5/2 (Enjoyed it)",5
"Despite the reviews saying the new season is bad, this season is great with the same charm, mystery, soundtracks, and great acting/ drama that makes this show what it is. This season may not be the best season but knowing how it ends really makes the whole storyline amazing. Sparrow academy has a good cast of characters even if some get more attention than others.",9
"The first three episodes were kind of yawners for me, but then the show got really interesting. I had never heard of the Tick before so it's totally new to me. Great story. Ms Lint and Onward Christian Soldier almost stole the show with their awesomely foul mouths. Especially, Ms Lint. I can see her in my minds eye and I laugh every time I think about the scene between her and her ex (I guess he's her ex). I picked up a few filthy things to say to people I don't like. Also, Jose Melano deserves some kind of award for the writing. Amazon hit a home run on this one. Keep up the good work.",8
"If you've given up before reaching episode 5, you're not giving this show the justice it deserves. While the initial episodes play out like a pity party YA novel; by the time it reaches half season, 13 Reasons Why finds its stride. Initially, the dialogue feels forced and unauthentic, but as the actors become more comfortable in their roles, the later episodes can be emotionally overwhelming.

I admit that the tapes at first seemed like a silly way to drag out the series, but the conclusion draws everything together and gives Hannah's suicide, and the way she tells her story, due diligence. Unlikeable characters somehow become authentic reflections of your high school experience; and the side stories such as the impending legal trial, the fate of the school counselor, Justin, Bryce, and the rest of the cast, leave you yearning for more.

This show definitely has a place—and while it's an important lesson for teens, the finite details offer complexity for the critical viewer, as well.",8
"Quite a mix. At times pretty good, but at several points some pretty unpleasant behaviours are ignored, as though inconsequential. And then there's the extensive scenes of no interest to anyone except small children, who probably shouldn't be seeing the carnage and death that pop up not infrequently.",7

"My kids were very excited to see this but I was more apprehensive. Really, the film is far too long, just unnecessarily. Parts of this film were very boring and were an ideal time for a cinema snooze! It had so much more potential but directors lost site of their aim. Disappointed.",2
Loved it! I was new to this universe and I am not dissapointed at all. I am a big GoT so this was exactly what I needed to fill what was missing in my tv watching. Hope there can be more episode maybe like 10 a season? Felt like there wasn't enough time to explain more about the universe and not enough monster killing.,9
"Captain America trilogy must be one of the best trilogies ever made. I am not a big fan of sequels, and usually the sequels do not outperform their predecessors, in my humble opinion. There are a few rare exceptions of course, like Captain America: Civil War for instance. After the disastrous Batman vs Superman that left a bitter aftertaste, time had come for something more refreshing and engaging, and I must say that Captain America Civil War delivers the goods. It has everything one would expect from a movie...dynamic superheroes with awesome abilities, story, momentum, and the question we ask as to what happens next, which keeps our attention on the big screen. I watched this in the theater and not a soul stirred during the 2.5 hour duration of the movie. All the characters in this movie played out their roles with precision and realism. The fight scenes are excellent (at times funny) as each superhero is matched up against someone else but the seriousness of the fight scenes builds to a crescendo which leaves us with a very satisfying climax to the movie. I have seen most of the Marvel movies in recent years but this by far is one of the best superhero movies ever. You might want to watch Captain America: The Winter Soldier again as this is somewhat of a continuation of where that movie left us off. Overall, I give this movie a deserved 10/10 as this is of the best super hero movies.",10
"This is a good (not great) shoot em up with Chris Hemsworth. Enjoyable in parts, it is let down by a poorly executed storyline, mixed dialogue and an average ending. Bourne it is not...",6
"Well, it was a long time, after pandemic I have not watched a movie full of emotions, comedy and awesome acting, just all in one, the characters are love, you will love them, you will laugh with them, you will feel sorrow and you will just feel something energetic. Leave the critics they only rates titles in 90 percent with money from producers. Watch this and You will surely love it.",10
"What's to say about Avatar: The Last Airbender? This show is pretty darn popular, its success has even lead to the creation of a feature film, and two more to come. But there is in fact a lot to be said about this show. Why do I think so? Because, this is much more than just another kid's show, and there's a lot of people out there that simply don't know this yet. There's a lot of people out there that still wouldn't even consider sitting down and using (approximately) 25 hours of their time to discover the fictional tale of the last airbender, and these same people may find it becoming one of their favourites if they did. I sure was in that position; I was already surprised when I found out it was only 60 episodes long, and the creators hadn't cashed in on its success by prolonging it any longer. I really thought Avatar was basically the American equivalent of Naruto in that respect, but now I understand. No, the people who made this show didn't make a show so that they could keep it going as long as they could and make as much cash as possible. On the contrary, they did us, the rest of the world, a great favour by producing a kid's show this good - and respectable - in so many areas.

Though I obviously haven't hesitated to call it a kid's show (it was broadcast on Nickelodeon, after all), there are many reason's behind my calling it 'more than just another kid's show'. This action/adventure series is exactly what that kind of show should be; smart, funny and exciting. Let's start with 'smart'. The plot isn't Neon Genesis Evangelion style deep, and thank God it isn't. However, what makes it smart is how it presents its story, characters and ideas. The characters here are incredibly believable ones, and the way they are presented is not only entertaining on a basic, fun level, but a deeper level that examines what it means to be human very effectively. Speaking of this, one specific character can't be justified in not being mentioned: Zuko. Character development is another strong area with the show, and again, on this point, Zuko has to be focused on. Zuko is all over the place from beginning to end in regards to what he feels, thinks and believes in. He really is one of, if not the greatest example of a character being used to examine what it means to be human that I have ever seen. If I had to choose a favourite character, it would be him, if only for the emotional attachment I felt to him by the time the show was reaching its final episodes. I really cared about the guy. I don't want to go into too much detail, but you'll understand if you witness his story for yourself. Avatar features a whole host of interesting moral dilemmas, characters and causes worth caring about, and more.

It is for these reasons that I must give the series' creators my kudos, as what makes the show smart in these respects is good for us all. I'm 18 years old, and I enjoyed the interesting characters and ideas of Avatar, and I'm sure people of all ages could. But what also came to mind as I was watching the epic, amazing finale is that it's also a great thing that it is a kid's show. Characters this deep and real and ideas this relevant aren't things you see in your average episode of SpongeBob, and while SpongeBob is great for what it is (really), Avatar is something that would be good and beneficial for your kids to watch. Azula's descending into madness in the last episodes may be the kind of thing that I'm sure turned at least a few parent's heads. Let's face it, a lot of parents are a bit overprotective when it comes to what their kids are watching nowadays; however, Azula is just another example of the show being real with its viewers, including the kids. It's still a kid's adventure show, and not the most realistic thing ever televised, but it goes where a lot of kid's shows dare not to in a mature and intelligent way. I know that this is the kind of show I'd love my future kids to watch; full of conflict (heck, it's a war story), but one that would really teach them something. After everything, Aang's final choice (I'm not going to spoil anything too badly here) about how to resolve everything is definitely something I'd want my kids to see, and remember.

On a more brief note, of course, the show is also funny and exciting. There were some truly hilarious and well-executed comedic moments all- throughout season one, two and three, and the action just plain rocked. I was on the edge of my seat watching fight scenes like Aang vs. Azula on 'the drill' (season two highlight sup) and the final battle. The entertainment the show offered on this level was a great compliment to everything else that already made it excellent. Speaking of the end, although I'd already enjoyed the series so far and heard that it was epic, I was still very impressed. It would have been nice to actually see just a couple more things resolved, but otherwise it was brilliant.

Now, what more can I say about Avatar: The Last Airbender? If you're not opposed to a good action/adventure story, but haven't seen it yet, all I can say is give it a chance, no matter what age you are. If you have kids, watch it with them. The fact that people actually sat down and made a kid's show like this gives me a lot more faith in my fellow man.",9
"Again Netflix gives a great cast but also think that is enough, with a weird begining, a quick presentation of your characters, what prejudice our affection, the movie has a lot of boring moments, with shameful jokes, the protagonists sometimes have funny moments, but doesn't save the movie, the mystery is at least the best part.",5
I thought I found an addictive series after watching first episode. 2nd worked then consistently went down hill. Will complete series to see if it can redeem itself.,3
"The Character of Holly ruins what could have been a nice show to watch. Once she is introduced, every other character kinda become useless with no big role to play in story. The Show doesn't value your time investment with lackluster last few episodes.",6
"Excellent Acting, Terrifying BGM, And the concept! Just wow!

Real thriller lovers can enjoy every moment of the movie...it never makes you disappointed or dissatisfied..Never!",10
"Firstly, let me start by saying that I am a fan of the 'Wizarding World'. 'Harry Potter' is arguably my favourite franchise and, whilst there were issues, I did enjoy the first 'Fantastic Beasts'. But please, sit back and do not go anywhere...because I've got some things to say. Credence somehow survives his obliteration from the first film, to which dark wizard Grindelwald sets him a path to join him and his followers. A young Dumbledore innocently asks Scamander to retrieve him before it's too late. There's also a broken family tree regarding the Lestrange ancestry, a few romances, the occasional spell and the odd fantastic beast. I have no joy in saying this, but this sequel is the first 'Wizarding World' entry that is bad. It's not good, in the slightest. Why though? How can such an assured franchise have such a dismal chapter? It's not the acting. Redmayne bumbles his way along sheepishly, which proves to be oddly charming. Law has the aura and spiritual presence of a young Dumbledore. Kravitz packed in some much needed emotion. Heck, even Depp was perfectly solid with his menacing demeanour. It's not the visual effects. The magical creatures looked glorious and the effects from spells were magnificent to watch. It's nothing extravagant as we've seen it all before, yet remains consistently good. It's not Yates' directing style. The experienced 'Harry Potter' director knows how to work the camera to propel that sense of wonderment and awe. It's not Howard's score. Seamlessly blending the Hogwarts theme tune with the new 'Fantastic Beasts' score. So, who's really responsible? J.K. Rowling.

She proves that not all novelists can make the transition to screenplay writing, and unfortunately that's abundantly clear after watching this. Rowling's mind, much like the world she imagined, is thick with lore. Characters, spells, creatures, environments and plot details. It's all very elaborate. Yet, there's no focus. Consistently jumping from one plot point to another. Flashbacks, foreshadowing and the criminal offence of excessive exposition. She utilised all the uninspired narrative techniques to tell a story, and unfortunately her need for nostalgia and franchise building has left this chapter feeling like a ""filler"". The overall story hasn't progressed. It leaves more purposefully constructed gaping plot holes and unanswered questions, so that you come back in two years and watch the sequel. Then we come to my all time favourite criticism: plot conveniences. Remember when everyone in New York City got obliviated? Well, it coincidentally only affected bad memories. So that means we've got all the characters from the first film back again, for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Queenie and her No-Maj literally only provide comic relief, and even that is tame. Credence is back after being decimated, negating the emotional turmoil that the first film left with. Nagini has one or two lines. Oh look, Nicolas Flamel! Eyyy, he said ""Azkaban"". Wait, is that McGonagall teaching before she's born? Oh, who cares! The plot is messier than an Obscuris. But what I'm getting at is that the story and all of its details are aimed towards the more hardcore fans of Rowling's work. I honestly believe casual audiences will be left feeling confused and bewildered at all the questions this sequel raises. Everything was needlessly complicated! The ""jaw-dropping"" conclusion left me raising my eyebrows instead of exclaiming ""what!? No way! I must find out what happens next!"", and I would consider myself a fan of Rowling's fiction. Nothing entranced me. Nothing captivated me. Nothing was worth my time. An absolute disappointment.",4
The first season is worth the watch. Only problem with the entire show after season one is it entirely sucks. The show becomes more centred around the kids and those same characters you liked in season one start to pis your off. Now it just feels like a chick flick or kid tv show. Season 3 was an Absolute joke.,2
"The story line wasn't great but it was fun to watch. Rajkumar Rao stole the show as usual, and surprisingly Abishek too!

P.s Not one to watch with the family.",8
"I saw this movie in 3d, and that was it's greatest strength. It is absolutely beautiful, and some of the best 3d i've ever seen. Visually, it is a masterpiece. Now that I've said my kind words, I'll point out why this movie really let me down. The Premise of this movie is not good for a feature movie. Someone trapped in space trying to get back to Earth would be good for a 30 minute TV episode, but in a 90 minute movie like this, I felt bored because I knew no matter how she gets inside the ship, she can't have any good luck for another 45 minutes because the movie has 50 minutes left. Now, onto my big problem. Sandra Bullock. I like her, I think she does a good straight woman in comedies, and she surprised me by doing well here. Her acting was very good. The problem was the character. A brief 20 second reveal that she had a kid is supposed to connect me to her, and that is ALL WE GET in her character. It just doesn't make me care if she survives. Also, having her alone makes it so that if you don't particularly like her character, tough luck, that it all you have. Also, they kill off George Clooney. I LOVE George Clooney, I think he is a fun, light, funny, confident presence in any movie lucky enough to have him. He's no different in this movie. And when they kill him, all we are left with is a sad sack, uninteresting, complaining character acted by someone who deserves better. The movie could have been (and should have been) Clooney's character fighting for survival. The personality he brought to the character would have made the slow parts better. And god were there slow parts.

All in all, I feel like i pay 14 dollars to see Sandra Bullock spin circles in the vacuum of space and complain for 90 minutes. Have you ever met someone and thought, ""Geez, you're luck your're beautiful, because when you open you mouth, I want to jump off a cliff."" I met that in movie form. They named it Gravity.",1
"To be honest, I didn't think Forgetting Sarah Marshall was much better or worse than The Heartbreak Kid. I think I laughed during the pediatrician scene and one other part that I can't remember. The characters are just a collection of stereotypes...and they are not even up-to-date stereotypes! Surfers that have smoked themselves into a stupor are way eighties, dudes. I think Paul Rudd, whom I like, knew his character was just another variation of Spicoli and phones it in a little.

A weepy Emo rocker or even an angry white rapper would've been more contemporary than a sex-obsessed British rock star. You would have to go back decades to find a musical artist that even remotely resembles him. They even miss chances to poke fun at real-life personalities. Sarah Marshall could have been one of those boozy ingénues that flash their privates as they get out of limos.

Supporting characters are unnecessarily inserted into the story and eventually forgotten, but they don't even provide an excuse for a clever joke. There is a Christian couple on their honeymoon that are completely pointless and they lead to some of the worst gags in the movie. All you are left with is something that is going to potentially insult a large group of people and you didn't even get a single laugh out of it. Jonah Hill and his infatuation with the rock star goes nowhere and is not particularly funny. The other characters have become all-too-familiar in a romantic comedy. The too-good-to-be-true romantic interest. The henpecked husband and friend of the hero. Et cetera.

There was a stand-up comedian on the talk show circuit a few years back who would make a joke about how people will get tattoos of symbols in foreign languages that have no meaning, like the Japanese kanji for ""water."" They shoehorn the joke into the film by having it spoken by an airhead who is suddenly translating tattoos in other languages. Maybe Carlos Mencia contributed to the movie?

When Judd Apatow produced a good comedy show, ""Freaks & Geeks,"" it was largely ignored by the public and was quickly canceled after one season. When he started appealing to the lowest common denominator, the same people were suddenly his biggest fans and praised him. You start to see why ""That 70's Show"" lasted 8 seasons and why ""Two and a Half Men"" is entering its sixth. Meanwhile, ""Arrested Development"" barely makes it to 3.

Almost every opportunity and set-up the movie has to do something clever, they take the easy and predictable route. I was actually surprised by how many of the jokes were just plain cheesy. The only thing you can say in defense of such a shallow movie is that it is comparatively better than Disaster Movie or Good Luck Chuck, but that should not impress anyone. You would almost have to be trying to make a worse comedy than those. It is like when people orgasm because gas prices fall a little, but they are still paying more than they should. People are becoming conditioned to bad comedy.

And, yes, there is a token ethnic guy.",4
"It has his pros and cons. If you are looking for a fantasy tv series, you should try it, maybe you will like it or not.

If you played the game series, I guess you will be pretty disappointed about it. The only thing that I hate the most about this series, is the Nilfgaardian armor. Also, I wish they could use the nilfgaardian language, they should hire someone who's specialised in such things, so they could train their cast.",8
"... I 'm might not a normal person giving only three stars... If you are a fan of this movie, or one of the actors- stop reading, go to the beach and play volleyball while sipping your favorite cocktail.

To the others: This movie sucks! A have found not a single original thing (bed scene, two couples at the other side of the wall: ""L.A. Story"", the cuts are like in ""Rushmore"" etc). Almost everything is a rip off from other movies which would not be a problem if it was put together in a funny way. But it's not. I really tried to laugh, tried to find a good scene but I couldn't. I also couldn't see the point of nudity in this movie. Was it a ""artistic"" expression of- what? Those 3 stars goes to only two actress/actor the ones who play the receptionist girl (Rachel) and the fast living singer(Aldous). Only them I have found worthwhile to mention as actors in this movie- The others- well, just leave them...

As I checked the ratings here on IMDb I was surprised to see 8 (!) star rating for this movie. It might means that I'm a weirdo or has no sense for good movies or didn't get the message of the creators etc. but one graffiti came to me: ""Eat sh@t. 1000 billion flies couldn't be wrong!"" So I hope there is hope for me...",3
"Well, I was pleasantly surprised to see WW on HBOGo already, I was like, ""Hey, I kinda wanted to see this!"" But after watching it, I can see why it's out there already.

I got a chuckle out of other reviews that keep talking about fighting Nazis...never mind that this movie was set in WW I, so no Nazis, people, sorry. Yeah, there were problems with the plot, and the acting could have been better, but my biggest problem with the film was the lack of character development and the historical inaccuracies. The vehicles (motorcycle especially) and aircraft, clothing, speech, everything - wouldn't even have passed muster for a WW II film, let alone one set in WW I.

From the previews I had high hopes for this movie, and I really liked Gal Gadot as WW, but the movie overall was just 'meh'. I watched it and actually made it through to the end (unlike a few other reviewers) but I did find myself glancing at my watch more often than usual.

So yeah, there have been better superhero movies, but there have sure been worse ones, too. I'd say this one is worth a watch if you can get past the somewhat flat acting and directing. But definitely not one to go out of you way to see.",5
"why do people enjoy the movie that much?? Went to see it some days ago (yes, on a 3D Cinema. wo-hoo!! Big deal had more fun with 3D movies on Universal Studios, and it was 1995) Avatar is a mix-up between The Smurfs and Pocahontas. 40 minutes of spectaular visual effects, another 30 minutes of ""just good"" effects. And the rest, nothing. Just a boring, predictable plot. I give this movie 4 stars out of 10 because granted the effects are amazing, but I don't go to watch a movie just for the special effects. No matter how good they are (and they ARE), is still a bad movie if it doesn't have a good plot to back it up. Not a ""terrible"" movie, but highly overrated.",4
GO WATCH IT. Love it . Great . Wonderful.................,8
"I rarely quit watching rentals 30 minutes short of the ending - especially after spend six and a half bucks on it - but that is what I did last evening while viewing Oppenheimer. The story went ricocheting off in so many directions, some shot in black and white and some in color - most of them boring as if watching paint drying - that I really had no idea what the movie was trying to convey to the audience. And as in Nolan's Interstellar, the overpowering musical score that never let up was more distracting than complimenting. So, onto the Nolan garbage heap goes Oppenheimer, to join Tenet, Interstellar, and Inception. His Batman flicks were OK, but if they were on one of the streaming services that I pay for, I wouldn't bother watching any of them again. I did like Dunkirk, Man of Steel and The Prestige, however.",2
"I really can't understand how it is possible for this film to win the academy award for best film over movies like District 9,Up and Avatar. I watched the film and just as I expected, it did not live up to all the hype,the whole film centers around one soldier who gets his kicks from disarming bombs,this may sound exciting to some,but trust me this is one boring film,no real action,the acting wasn't bad with some cameos by Guy Pearce and Ralph Fiennes.

Whens it comes to war movies like these,I feel Green Zone was way better,more action and it has an actual story.But this is just my opinion,some people may enjoy this film but just don't expect an action movie,it's more about soldiers who have an addiction to war.

Overall 4/10",4
"I cant quite get it, Why the high ratings to so many mediocre series of late. This series is of the classic example of said mediocre series that has high ratings, 8.9 to be specific.

The key ingredients to make a good series/movie was completely messed up in this series.

Let us start first with acting. Over 90% of the cast sucked at acting, with the two lead supporting actors begin th worst of the bunch. The guy playing Foggy seems just plain onset and when he gives off any emotion, it gets even bad. The one playing Karen also doesn't belong here, she needs to be in one of those teen drama series which would suit her better. Then there is Fisk, what an atrocious voice he had, i mean why cant they let him speak normally. He sounded lame whenever he spoke. The one and only actor who was doing well was the one called Leland (when he came and freed us of the boring and shitty acting), yet they tried to kill him and leave some one like Karen's actor on. What stupid directing.

Then there is the crappy plot. The series lacks any form of direction, you don't exactly know where its call leading up to. Today is this another time that, then it goes back same way again, what a bore.

Its silly to waste anymore of my holiday time on this crap. My advice, don't be like me and let the ratings fool you. You are better of not wasting your time on this crap. If you want something more interesting, you can always turn to (((Gotham))).",2
"This could have been a great movie if it wasn't for the profanity shout-fest which was hard to overcome and got very tiresome. It could have been so much better had the actors not been directed to shout over each other like kids in a playground throughout the movie. I expected more given I'd read a good review, but honestly, I was glad for the ending.",3
I wish I can love tom hanks movies I thought I was going to love it after so any hours I looked at my phone that's how bored I was I wish I watch this without doing that but I cant I feel so bored my dad said it was good boy was he wrong I don't have a problem with gay rights or gay people hell my ex girlfriend is gay that doesn't bothers me I'll give it another chance soon but for now I didn't feel amused I think the boring thing is Denzel Washington he was the person that bored me I hate movies that take place in a court for most of the movie that's boring it like when I use to go to church please don't take affiance but that's how this movie felt I looked at my phone for most of the movie I couldn't watch it because how boring it was I'm sorry for those who like this film but I'm being honest I hate to bring down a tom hanks movie he's one of my favorite actors but this was a let down please if your into law this is for you if not don't even bother,4

"If you liked '24' and u also like sci-fi then this is the show to watch, otherwise it's predictable and repetitive. Every situation goes south - and after some episodes it is just exhausting. I am on the second season episode 1 and I have decided to quit.",6
Maintains the high standards of the first in this series. Deservedly honoured for its special effects and the Maguire / Dunst combo is as strong as before.,8
"2 hours and 4 minutes of vacuous nonsense. This makes ""A Quiet Place"" look good, it must be a really easy gig as a Hollywood script writer as clearly no intelligence or ability is required, I will never understand why people go through the lengthy, expensive and difficult job of making a movie only to employ morons to write the script. It is difficult to enjoy a movie when there are constant plot holes and the lead characters behave in an unnatural, unbelievable manner. I feel sorry for Sandra Bullock - who is the only notable stand out in this b quality movie. She was IMO making some good movies that concentrated more on her acting ability than her amazing good looks but this sub-par movie has undone a lot of that hard work. All in all a mess of a movie and that is a real pity",2
"The Greatest Showman isn't really a movie since movies have character arcs and a plot. This is just hysterically flat characters being hysterical, whether its their acting or singing. And I know it's a musical and musicals are usually more extravagant. I don't mind that, but not in this extreme overdrive, please. The pacing is at lightning speed. Not a moment passes by where a character reflects on what's happening or takes time to make a choice. I seriously had no clue at times what I was watching because of the rushed pacing. This reflects in the production design, costumes and visual effects as well. Its all too bright, glamourous and above all superficial and flat. The movie has no second or third layer in it's message. It's all in your face ""look at this and feel like this"". That doesn't work for me. A film is supossed to be influential on a subtle level. This isn't. The message of the movie is a great one, inclusion of all types of people, but presented in such a bombastic way that it completely surpasses its goal. Not a single character is relatable since there is no history or further explanation. The characters are flat and don't react naturally to the events happening to them. You might think that I'm just not a fan of extravagant musical-movies but I absolutely adored La La Land for its characters and subtle use of music. This is quite the opposite.",3
"I have to find 600 characters to write a review for this film, but I could make some observations in a few sentences. Firstly the film consists of various scenes, where Tom Hanks interacts with historical figures of the era. I was surprised that a scene with Rosa Parks wasn't included, as some of the story is set in Alabama.

Secondly, is the film intended to be one long advert, for a certain sports shoe company? The brand is heavily featured in the scenes where Forest took up running!

The film is not without merit, some of the performances are impressive. It is not a film, I would want to watch over and over again, It does tend to lapse into sentimentality on occasions.",6
"When I saw this movie pop up on HBO MAX and watched the trailer I said to my wife ""I suspect this is very bad"" but she said she was open to trying it so I said f it. We didn't have anything else to watch. After about 35 minutes I'm looking at how much is left wondering when something interesting and clever was going to happen like in Black Mirror, because it does have Black Mirror vibes. Stuff starts to happen at the 40 minute mark which is just too long of a build up IMO. Then the stuff that does happen is dumb. Anything that could be considered a sub-plot with the different characters is shallow and boring and uninteresting. By the 1:20 mark I'm thinking ""there better be such an interesting twist or reveal soon that warrants this 7.5 rating"". By the end at 1:40 I'm frustrated to find that that moment never comes and it just ends in the most lame and lazy way. I can't believe these actors read this script and took the roles. The acting is bad, and I guess I can see how they didn't have anything better to do because they're like C and D level actors. Ultimately it was a waste of time and made me frustrated that something more interesting wasn't going on. I could maybe see how some pretentious service industry people might think this movie is cool but that's about it. It's a story that could have potential as an hour-long Black Mirror episode if only they could find a writer to come up with a clever, trippy twist to throw in 2/3 of the way through.",4
"Better than the first, but still not perfect. I expected a more spectacular visual feast.",8
"The movie is good, actors performance is excellent, but we have already watched excellent and even better similar movies in the past.

I think that Raging bull, Million dollar baby, Cinderella man, Rocky ...etc. are much better !! I also recommend the wrestler or warrior if we want to extend the genre.

If you haven't watched previous movies you will enjoy this movie, otherwise you will just find a remake or recompilation of some of the scenes of the previous mentioned movies.",6

I'm a long time fan of the game and the original series. Let me just tell you that Geralt's character is only a supporting actor in this show. The show is clearly about empowered Mary sues namely Ciri ana Yeneffer. Geralt hardly gets any screen time and his story is completwly ignored other than fighting monsters and sex scenes . This show wreaks of feminism and propaganda. If you're a true fan of the books or the game or even the original TV show I suggest you to steer clear,1
"I personally found the movie to be boring obvious and poorly written. I am sad i cant get the 2hrs back. Sophia is a horrible writer she did not deserve the Oscar. I think this movie was hyped up too much and that it was SO popular because it was ""cool"" to like it. Most people with half a brain in my opinion hat this movie! This is just my opinion! :) If i were to honestly rate this movie i would give it a 3/10 max. I like bill Murray but not that much in this movie. I don't much care for Scarlett i think she is taking too many adult roles that she is not mature enough for. It makes you wonder why her ans Sophia had such issues on the set!? Well if you liked this movie all power to you, but personally i thought it was one of the worst movies i have seen and i would not recommend it!",1
"I see that the ratings are high or low and because the fans of the game and those who read the book don't like it because from what I understand the action is changed a bit or not followes as it is in books.

But from the other side, from those who doesn't know nothing about game and books, is a brilliant series.

I'll admit, 1st season was a bit confusing and hard to follow, but they nailled in 2nd season.

And from acting point of view, they are that not bad, I would even say that are some quite good performances, and HC is as good as it gets.

Henry just transformed this ""Geralt"" character into a ""signing dish"", and not only I liked him very much being ""Napoleon Solo"" but he gave to Geralt that ""hmm"" wich is a nice touch.

I hope to continue this series for many season, because the potential is there to make this series even better than GoT, even if the books are not followed.

I don't see it as a bad thing to use it as inspiration and adapt to make it more apealling and interesting as a TV series.",9
It's just a pedestrian action flick. I really don't get the need for making such a film.,4
"Tarantino has become iconic and actors salivate to play a role in his films, however he has not transcended beyond the guttural, gratuitous violence and shock factor that put him on the cinematic map. 'Once upon a time in hollywood' is a snooze fest wrapped as a love story to glory days. The payoff in the last 20 mins was anti-climatic. None of the characters were memorable, rather washouts and full of self doubt. The biggest proof that this was a weak installment is the fact that not a single meme has entered popular culture from this film, unlike Tarantino's other works. Similar to 'The Last Jedi', the critics are falling over themselves to praise his snooze fest, out of FOMO than anything else. If Tarantino intends to end at film 10, he better knock it out of the park, otherwise unlike Michael Jordan, he will leave too late.",3

There are about five minutes' worth of enjoyable action.

This concludes what was worthwhile about this movie.

I'm just picturing the meeting that led to this disaster of a movie:

""You know what worked in Venom? The humor! That cringe-inducing desert of laughter that was Tom Hardy mugging wildly while climbing into a lobster tank, or doing Bruce Campbell's Evil Dead hand-fight shtick, also while mugging wildly!""

""You're so right! We need to really crank that up; I want to hear Venom doing knockoff Joss Whedon dialogue that lands about 5% of the time, and I know audiences do too. My five-year-old thought the violence was a little scary, though. Can we go for a PG level of violence for Carnage?""

""Sounds a little intense, Bob, don't wanna scare the little ones out of buying action figures! We'll make sure there's no violence that wouldn't pass in something G-rated, but we'll get it a PG-13 so it doesn't feel like a kiddy movie.""

""Won't the teenagers still think he's uncool, considering this is a movie about mass-murdering monsters that is significantly less violent than The Incredibles?""

""Easy! We'll have him call himself the Lethal Protector.""

""Wait, so he'll kill criminals? Like, be an anti-hero?""

""God, no! What is this, a comic book? He'll just say it a bunch of times and then mug to the camera some more.""

""I love it!""",3
"5/10 - god awful editing/pacing and such a weak story that I'm surprised Sony okayed it, Venom: Let There Be Carnage's only highlights are the plethora of aggressive visuals and its supporting cast.",5
"For all the witcher fans we managed to burn the image of geralt in our brains from the video game. So it's was very difficult for any actor to replace the game character. But henry cavill did an amazing job to bring that character to life 100%. I think the show is too fast for newcomers, but very entertaining for die hard witcher fans.",9
"You never get to find out what is following them. Nothing is ever explained and yet, it gets so much hype. Why? The concept is easy to comprehend: a strange entity causes victims to commit suicide when they ""see it"". What ""it"" is is still unknown to me and you never find out. The only thing I enjoyed was just how good the young child actors were.

I struggle to find anything positive to say about a movie that tells you nothing, but demands you watch on anyway. Ridiculously flawed and unbelievably boring.

Avoid unless you really want to waste your time.",4
"Far from being a serviceable film, the latest Spider-Man instead merely serves as a palette cleanser to the Infinity Saga with a half-baked and disjointed story line. Sony has to strike with the Marvel craze while the iron is hot. Definitely one of the worst interpretation of the character in live action.

First off, there are some good elements about this film. Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio brings sympathy, likeability and an underlying sinister element to the character. The design is wonderful owing to its faithfulness to the comics. Outside of the villain, the rest of the film is subpar. Lifting the film can't be done by a single character alone.

The plot of the film follows Spider-Man and his classmates as they travel Europe for a class tour. None of it makes sense. The character does not grow and the different cities have no relevance emotionally and thematically. Setting this in New York City would have resolved this issue. After all, the character lives there. Plot details and decisions matter less over character development. However, the plot here serves little purpose other than to present ""spectacular"" visuals.

Usually, jokes and comedy in the Marvel films land when they serve the characters or are not jarring to the point of being included for the sake of laughs. In here, everything is forced and contrived. Even the awkward teenage love story. Tom Holland and Zendaya, who plays MJ, frankly have no chemistry. Immediately as the film starts Spider-Man is head over heels for MJ who he has shown no liking for in Homecoming. While it is understandable considering the characters are teenagers, infatuation starts from something and this is something the film failed to present. Marrisa Tomei as Aunt May is worse here with her relationship with Happy Hogan, played by Jon Favreau. Teen drama does not mean being dumb down. Maturity can be threaded in the teenage love story without being caricatures.

Thematically, Far From Home is a repeat of Homecoming and it does so on a lesser note. Iron Man is shoehorned, again. Spider-Man now seeks approval and meaning from Iron Man, again. Mysterio and his allies find motivation through Iron Man's past mistakes. It's time for Spider-Man to be his own man as he really is and leave Iron Man alone. Spider-Man is the same character as he was in Homecoming, which is disappointing after four previous appearances in the same continuity. Coming on the heels of Infinity War and Endgame, Far From Home should have explored what it was like for the world to recover after Hulk re-snapping half of the universe, but is mentioned only in passing during the beginning. The film is further hampered by sloppy pacing and editing due to these lapses in story lines. The technical qualities are poor, aside from the score and soundtrack. The CGI is also serviceable at best.

If audiences care about concluding the Infinity Saga, Far From Home is a must watch. But as an engrossing film like its predecessors, it fails.

"Guy is an NPC in a video game he wakes up and starts thinking for himself. It's the Lego movie meets ready player one. This is a mess it wants to embrace the video game atmosphere yet at the same time try and make fun of the gamers playing. Every time I saw a reference I groaned, I winced at every sponsored placement as well. You get the reference laugh! The funniest parts aren't Ryan Reynolds its the clash in these themes as they alienate the audience. There are some terrible acting performances in this some guys aren't even trying. Then the main woman knocks it out of the park with her performance, which only highlights the terrible job the other actors did. If you want to watch a better ""video game"" movie, go watch Spy Kids 3D, that one actually understands how video games work and I'm convinced that this movie took some inspiration from it.",4
"For so long the way they write horror stories had changed this captures something that classic 80s horror used to be. This copies and combines so many movies mosters in a good way and even had an invaders of the body snachers type of story and still worked because the cast and story worked well. Thier were lots of greatness but some repitition of eleven using her powers but overall still good to watch. The ending cut scene was a good ending teaser for season 4. where have i seen the main monster before? It was like the monster in stephen kings dreamcatcher and BEHEMOTH from (THE MIST) combined with other references include the monsters in resident evil, tremors,and the blob 1980s.",8
"Nothing great; musical was sub-par. don't understand why it scored so high. If anyone could reply and tell me what is so great about this movie I would appreciate it.

There was nothing special, did not even know it came out on theaters. They want five lines and when there is not even five lines to write about, that is pretty sad.",1
"American Fiction and Barbie have one very key element in common; their abilities to tell a story with biting social commentary while packaged in such an entertaining package! Yes, American Fiction is quite a hilarious film! But, it is also a wicked satire about the commodification of marginalized voices and a portrait of an artist forced to re-examine his integrity. It boasts one of the sharpest, tightest, most clever screenplays of the year - the writing is what makes this movie a blast. It's a film filled with many ironies, contradictions, and food for thought about how black stories are told and how black voices are exploited. I do wish it could have challenged the character even more but there are some narrative risks and layers that are pretty thought-provoking! Plus, Jeffrey Wright perfectly portrays this layered, withdrawn character - giving us one of his best and most beautifully nuanced performances blending comedy and drama in a clever film with tons of broad appeal. Cord Jefferson is a filmmaker to keep an eye on, his direction and writing here are incredible and I can't wait to see what he does next! Trust me, this movie is GOOD! I loved it and couldn't stop laughing while watching, and now I can't stop thinking about it! It's just such a perfect combo and such a great film! Highly recommend it, it's one of my favourites of 2023!",9

"I feel like I've wasted 2 precious hours of my life watching this movie. Don't get me wrong: The topic is quite interesting. However, it could've been made much more simpler in order to be understood by more people. Definitely, there were some positives, as well. E.g. good acting and... I guess that's it. Now, just to make myself clear: There are people who're gonna like this movie. I am not just one of them.",3
"I've seen ""Batman Begins"" three or four times now. It always leaves me flat. It's a good looking movie but that's all it really has going for. The story is blah and the action isn't much better. This movie also has another hurdle and it's a difficult one to overcome: Christian Bale. Bale is one of the worst ""great"" actors ever. He's always more of a distraction than anything else. Unfortunately, Bale isn't the only unlikeable cast member in this movie. There are quite a few of them. If you don't care about the characters, you don't care about the movie. Honorable mention: Rutger Hauer.",5
"This isn't the movie the critics--and, apparently, its makers--took it for. In interviews the actors and the director talked about it as if it were a straight mystery, but what it turns out to be is a Victorian pastiche, in the mode of The Assassination Bureau or The League of Gentlemen, with a farcical Holmes and Watson at its center. I personally like pastiches, but this one I didn't find very enjoyable, well appointed though it is; the violence is too nasty and most of the cast unlikable. A couple of scenes work because the dominant actors, Geraldine James and Edward Fox respectively, know how to play them; but then each disappears and we're left with the glumly miscast principals, among them the estimable Mark Strong, who might have made an interesting Holmes but is stranded playing a stock villain. In addition, the story is boring: Holmes' deductions are superfluous, none of the characters has a stake in the outcome, nothing that can happen will make any difference. The whole thing just floats away.",4
"A great passing of the torch, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is a great continuation of the Captain America vibes. Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russel, and Erin Kellyman were amazing. Wyatt Russel did a little too good of a job at becoming a character to hate. It was great to see familiar faces and continue Steve's legacy, especially through Sam Wilson. The chemistry between Sam and Bucky really helped the show as a whole, making the entire show funny and emotional. It also hits some hard topics for America, something some would complain about, but was still needed for the show. I can't wait to see how Sam handles the mantle of Captain America in the future, as I know he'll be great.",8

They say the budget was $150 million. All the products advertised as subtle as a sledgehammer must've paid $10 each. They're everywhere.

But get past those and the confusing editing, and you've got a great little popcorn movie.",6
"So annoying to watch. She was so good in the book but in the show she's unbearable. Thinking she knows more than everyone else without acting like it. Anyone who's read the book will understand.

"Solid camera work and direction throughout, the cinematography is excellent with more than some help from a series of stunning vistas. The story however was broken early on with the fathers behaviour; expecting the son of a man who's kid falls off a cliff some 50 feet to a ledge, to wake and undergo an epic journey home falling in love with a wolf who he bounds with and ultimately risks his life to save would never happen under this guys parenting. After falling to the cliff ledge his dad looks at him for a few seconds, makes little to no attempt to help him, neither waiting for his own child to wake from an unconscious state or simply lowering a rope down. Pretty much walked away from his kid in an instant, then we're asked to care about him getting home to his father showing traits along the way he clearly didn't learn from home, made it difficult to care...",6
"As a Tim Burton and the Addams family fan. I was so excited for It. And I am so disappointed by this show. Where is the gothic icon Morticia Addams dark humor? Where is the romantic Gomez Addams? Where was Tim Burton in It? I mean Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Big Fish? How come It is his work?. I mean after more than 30 years It's not even half as good as Beetlejuice. Where is Tim Burton's set design? I felt like It was supposed to be a thriller. But It's not thrilling at all. Actors? None of them are even as good as any actor in any other Tim Burton movies. If you read It until here you know that I don't recommend It at all!",1
"As a book adaptation, the series keeps the character names and main features as well as the very general plot outline. Series got rid of the humour, postmodern distancing from the genre and any originality. Instead, we got an original series with the writers' ideas that are on par with GoT season 8. It's like watching a grim version of Xena. The generic plot, nonsense twists and chaotic character development all make up a mediocre series overall.",5

"Anti consumer tactics like weekly releases are just stupid in 2022, we don't watch cable for that reason next thing you know they're going to be putting commercials every 10 minutes into the show.

If this show gets better I'll give it a fair review but as of now there is no merit for me to continue on giving anything positive to the show, it was too slow the character development was really annoying any substance of action moments were removed as a section of blackout with an attempt to censor the violence.

So far gives me venom rip off vibes.

The actors performance is awesome though it may be slow.",1
"Prior to watching 12 Years A Slave, I figured I knew what to expect. Talking about slavery in history, you hear over and over again about the brutal past of those persecuted by their race. However, listening is not the same as experiencing. 12 Years A Slave embarks the audience alongside Solomon's journey from being a free African man, kidnapped and sold into slavery and experiencing the cruelty faced upon him. With talented and sympathetic actors portraying the lives of those who unfortunately fell victim to the bitter side of humanity, makes this biographical film come to life. It's safe to say that 12 Years A Slave has not only captured my attention, but my empathy and heart, with high hopes that the future will learn from history and every individual can live in pure peace.",8
"Cmon. This is so overrated. Unrealistic plot. I can even guess who is not the suspect by the first half. Not the teacher, not the driver of rickshaw, even not the mother. The Lakhsmi character is so annoying. The plot is intended to thrill people, but it ended up more like soap opera.",6

The first episode could be cut out entirely and nothing would be missing from the story. The second episode it boring as well.

But nope that's not as bad as Russia. Typical American narcissism. Sickening.",1
"I have never played the video games, so my review is based entirely on the show. ""The Last of Us"" has a slow and intense start that kept me on edge. I think that the pilot is the perfect example on how you should build tension and suspense. The show goes on by developing the characters and the first two episodes are well balanced, because they have captivating dialogues and a good adrenaline dose as well. The third one was very discussed. I personally enjoyed it and despite being a bit too long, it was a well crafted filler. The acting by Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett was just unbelievably good. It expanded the narration beyond the main storyline. However, I feel that the series took too many bad turns: it often lost the focus with overly long and uninteresting interactions that do not add any value, and it insisted on useless details. The pace is at times way too slow, for the sake of being ""deep"". A bit more action would benefit the series.

I really enjoyed the relationship between Joel and Ellie. It was interesting and I really cared about them. In general, all the characters were well developed, even the secondary ones, and there were many emotional moments that got me by surprise. Pedro Pascal is always a guarantee when it comes to acting. It is the first time that I see Bella Ramsey; she did overall a good job, even though her acting felt forced at times. After many episodes, I think that she was not the best fit for this role. Finally, the locations and the sets are well realized and they look pretty realistic. I think that this show was way too over acclaimed, due to its popularity, but it suffers from many issues that are common also in ""The Walking Dead"". Obviously not at the same level, but the boredom is sometimes palpable. With that being said, I definitely recommend the series, especially to fans of the game, but do not expect a big masterpiece, as highlighted by the general rating.",6
"""Fargo"" (1996) is a professionally produced crime drama about a kidnapping unraveled by small-time cop Marge Gunderson, played by Frances McDormand. Jerry Lundegaard, played by William H. Macy, hires two thugs to kidnap his wife in order to ransom her to his father-in-law to pay an undisclosed debt. I really enjoy films that I can identify with, rather it's the situation or specific character, or something that transports me into a different realm, unfortunately this film did neither for me. This film seems overly silly for such a serious genre that is based on true events. I am not a fan, but I can appreciate the unconventional approach.

I have never been to either Dakotas nor Minnesota, outside of the airport, to attest to how they actually speak, but if they really sound like that, I may have to bite my tongue in saying it really hurt this film. I think I would have really enjoyed this film if there were less accents to detract from the storyline. This film, for me, painted everyone that wasn't rich as some type of simpleton with the silly accents, which by the end of the film is unfounded, especially for one particular character. The storyline, for as crazy as it is, especially based on real events, is really strong and followable. Overall, that one aspect mostly ruined the film for me as a viewer but allowed me to really appreciate other nuances in the beautifully shot cinematography. My recommendation to this film is solely for those who wish to approach a genre a little different.",6
"Yesterday I watched this movie, I think this film deserves a warm welcome from the audience. Because we see from the side action and the plot is very complex, time consuming its history and the current fight scenes are very neat and orderly.

Maybe the audience will be amazed and impressed with the quality of the securities editor, create a real feel and no matter how many hero role, but being bored and all the more fascinating when put together and combined.

Not just the scene that I see in this film, but there are side The message simply goes to the heart, which is ""TRUE FRIEND IS BETTER THAN FRIENDS WHO HAVE HIGHER EGO, ""but we have not decided on a rope brotherhood.",8
"There are so many things that could have gone wrong but somehow they pulled it off - thanks to the good heart and nature of the unsuspecting victim. At any time, there was the possibility that the show might become too cruel to watch. Fortunately, it never did. I don't think they paid him enough for all the entertainment he provided. Evidently, the chosen victim was a man of very high emotional intelligence and a very likeable person. He fit in well with this group of actors and didn't seem out of place at all. He did himself proud. I wasn't really in the mood for American comedy but thought this was a very interesting concept and I was curious how it would pan out. It worked. I watched all episodes in one sitting. I highly recommend this show.",8
"Ok to pass 1 hour and a half in a cinema if you don't have nothing to do better. Far worst than the first Venom. I guess I would have like it better if I was drunk, stoned, 17 years old but none the less it would have been boring and predictable all the same. It's like buying fast food because you don't find another alternative. Worst movie with Hardy and Harrelson I have see.",5
"Just really want the time i spent watching this dull, no character depth, waste back.

The story skips so frequently, amongst beach/air/sea, and amongst many fragmented characters (none of whom you will care about) that its torturous.

Its like its challenging you to make it all the way through.....

Not even the odd random appearance of Kenneth Branagh looking wistfully on as ships get sunk, or peering through his eyeglasses towards the end will make me give this higher than a single star Truly the most terrible film I've seen in some time, and easily the worst war film ever made.

The genre should have stopped at Saving Private Ryan Truly, truly fricking awful",1

I know it was based on a real person but i'm sure there must have been healthy amounts of literary licensing taking place. It was just overdone and STUPID STUPID STUPID. literally made me want to kill Dicaprio's entire team. Literally. It was just that dumb. I was really disappointed since I was expecting a good movie. I'M surprised this got good reviews from the critics but what the hell do they know. Back then I wondered why this movie didn't receive any Oscars when it had such high reviews and acclaim. But i guess now I know why. This was more like watching Animal House on Wall Street than anything else. So WHACK! I couldn't believe how disappointed I was in both Dicaprio and Scorsese,3

"This movie continuously pulls your attarction and despite being run about 152 minutes, it doesn't leave your satisfaction any time. Those who loves thriller movies must watch. But I think the finishing (last 30 min) could have been bettered. After all, some facts leads to think that this is a movie, not real life.",9
"As per my usual style, I'm not going to write chapter and verse on something that I didn't like, if I didn't sit through all of it. Mostly because it could improve after the point I gave up so it's not a fair review. . . but I will tell you why I decided not to bother with any more of ""The Tick"" after the first two episodes.

Arthur Everest (Griffin Newman) is convinced that a former supervillain, The Terror (Jackie Earle Haley), who killed Arthur's father, is not as dead as the world believes. Tracking a criminal gang brings him into contact with a superhero, The Tick (Peter Serafinowicz) who dismantles the crew and gives a supersuit to Arthur. He then actively tries to recruit Arthur as his new sidekick.

I don't really have any previous relationship with the character. I know that live action series and the animated run exist, but I've never really seen either of them. I do love Peter Serafinowicz, from his ""Spaced"" days and his BBC series - which is massively underrated. So I wanted to like the show for him, if nothing else. But I don't. I thought the pilot was bad, but decided to give it another episode as sometimes pilots have too much work to carry, to be indicative of the show, but the second episode wasn't any better. I just don't understand what it is supposed to be, is it a parody? Because if it is, it's not funny, and that's the real killer thing for me.

Sorry Peter.",3

"While I am sure this movie is less than accurate in fighting style and historical events, Ip Man (2008) has fantastic action, effects, and lots of heart (not just bloody knuckles).

Some argue the historical events never happened. The same comments can be made about several ""biographical"" movies made about Bruce Less, or other celebrities and historical figures. At the least this film sparks the imagination, and leaves you wanting more. More action, more story.

Others have argued that the fighting style is not incredibly accurate. In that case, this might not be the best film to take lessons from, however, the average viewer will be far less critical.

Before this movie I did not know who Ip Man was. I did follow up watching this film with researching the true Man through various means.

If you appreciate realistic martial art films with a slight flair of incredible, then this is a film for you.",7
"Just... bad...boring, not funny, marvel? not... Its just a terrible bad show",1
"The beginning of this show is pretty good in my opinion. The first three episodes and especially four are very solid. I do have some problems with them but i found them mostly enjoyable. After that the shows kind of falls off. Most of the Marvel shows suffer from rushed finales because of the stupid 6 episode format and this one is no exception.

Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan have great chemistry which makes for some fun banter, but it's really Wyatt Russell as John Walker who steals the show. But I do have my problems with the show. Obviously the finale, but there's aso the Flag Smashers. The Flag Smashers are probably some of the worst villains in the MCU. They're not intimidating, they're writing is bad, and they are just not compelling characters. There are also some pushed agendas that pop up but that is just a small nitpick. I do think the show could have been done better which is what I've said about most MCU projects in phase four, but I still enjoyed most of the show.

We have to be desperate for entertainment to even sit thru this movie It seems that there are so many plots and sub-plots that the main story is so far fetched that not even a 5 yr old would buy it I didn't realize Ethan was so hard up for a part that he would even act in this farce Another thing i can't wrap my head around is you have to have so many lines of text to submit your opinion. Maybe I'm losing my mind but why would I want to continue writing a review on a movie that makes absolutely no sense and don't try the argument that I'm not intelligent enough or I don't have an open mind.

It just looks all stupid to me. My friends were watching this and told me that this is really a great show and I shouldl definately watch it, so I watched the first episode and it really is great. I really liked wednesday's acting in it and the way she behaves. She is so talented in many thing, like she does archery, she knows about plants, she dances, she rows, she has visions and still she likes to be alone.

I so relate to her and like her character so much.",8
"I've found this to be very enjoyable. Tom Hiddleston is basically excellent in anything he does, and this is no exception. It's decent entertainment without having to think too hard about anything. What I find annoying is having to have two sets of opening scenes at the beginning of each episode. First the Marvel one and then a couple of minutes later, a Loki one. They achieve nothing but padding episode time out.",7

My Hero Academia has rightfully earned its place as a modern classic and a testament to the power of superheroes in popular culture.",9
"In the first quarter, the content of blackening super-English is only the surface, and the deeper is the combination of idol industry, collusion between government and business, and ethics of science and technology. At the core of these issues, the film points to ""money is the source of all evils."" "". On the side of the picket, at present, only the image of Butcher and the past are deeper, Hughie is relatively simple, and the other three people have a larger gap. Overall, the first season was more successful in explaining the big background, and the dark side of The Seven is better.",8
One of my favourite psychological thriller ever. Technically a perfect film after watching this film i am fan now.,10
"I Seen Many Many Movie In Animal Category But Purely Genuenly Not Match This 🔥

ACTING DIRECTION 1ST HALF 2ND HALF DIRECTION IF YOU WANT ALL ELEMENT AND A PURE MOVIE DIRECTOR GIVE YOU ON HAND GRAB IT AND WATCH IT

NO WORD 😢",10
I went in wanting to love it but cant!! There is no emotion. The songs are boring. The heart of Sinba has been destroyed he is a little brat and he is very cocky !! Scar does not look scary or etc at all!!! All the music kind of blends together and each scene is the same !!! Some characters look more phony then when they was cartoon characters!! All the voices are low and flat even during the songs. Nothing funny on this one at all like the other. No sadness when someone does. It's just awful My kids watched it that's why it gets a 3.,2
"Many would say the second season was bit of a drag. I disagree. It deliberates further on the concerns it raises in the first season, brings closure to some open wounds and ends on an interesting note. Over all, 13 Reasons Why Season 1 was phenomenal, Season 2 is not that great, but it is not that bad either.

It tells the truth, most would not tell- through extremely violent graphic representation- just so that the truth and pain of such bullying stays with you.

I am nost sure, if this TV series brings a revolution in the society, but it does leave an impact. Works for me!",8
It's like Godfather but with trucks instead of anything of interest.,6
"The show is great entertainment; This is more of a comment on the bad judgment in post-production, but it will affect anyone intending to watch this show on a device during the day.

Even if watching indoors or in the shade, the night scenes are simply too dark to see anything, forcing the viewer to miss out on crucial content or only view at night. This is a major fail on the production side. Somebody hopefully got fired over it.

I'm watching it on an Iphone 12 Pro with maximum brightness on and cannot see anything in many scenes.",7
"I find it amazing that viewers seem to like this film. The plot is transparently obvious, so most of the time I found myself just waiting to see what sort of complications would be thrown at us in what seemed a half-hearted attempt to create suspense. There were so many red herrings and so many holes in the plot that the whole thing smelled fishy before it was halfway through, while the second half smelled cheesy. I couldn't decide which was worse--the acting (except for Amy Ryan), the completely unbelievable story, or the even more unbelievable casting. Casey Affleck as a private detective who tracks missing persons? Give me a break! First of all, as his film wife says, he certainly does look too young for the part: but worse, his wiseguy/homeboy character could never get away with the things he's made to say. And sorry, the guy simply cannot act: as the saying goes, he couldn't act his way out of a paper bag, which is exactly what this film was. Ed Harris and Morgan Freeman at times looked like they were embarrassed to be in this thing, but everybody should have been. Reviewers make much of the fact that this is Ben Affleck's ""directorial debut."" Well, he has a long way to go yet. Back to school, Afflecks: Ben to director's class, Casey to acting.",3
"After watching the 1st GodFather and seeing how legendary the movie was, GodFather 2 wasn't a disappointment. The acting was superb, the story was amazing and the entire movie was entertaining. I love the shooting scenes there my favorite. At the end of the day, GodFather 2 enhances our appreciation and understanding of the characters in this movie and how the movie manages to be the way it is. I really honestly don't care for the people comparing which GodFather was better, the first or second. I'm good either way they were both legendary with legendary actors like Robert De Niro and Al Pacino.

Too bad GodFather 3 was pure awful and didn't live up to the expectations like the 1st two did. But that's a different review for another time.",10
"The movie is actually ok. the acting is strong and the nature scenes (not the least the wolves) are amazing! BUT...you have to be able to ignore the fact that the humans speak gibberish! Someone got the idea of inventing a language for the humans, to make it more realistic. Not a joke, they really did this, and made the movie very cringeworthy to watch.

Inventing a language to make it more ""realistic"" seems like something a 10-year old might think of, but any adults would talk them back down. Stop yourselves please people. Or at least run ideas like by someone with half a brain.",6
"I don't have to words to describe how the show is. I literally didn't expect to be this good as the show is. It perfectly shows the best writing and the best cinematography I've ever seen. It's totally surprising how mcu storyline connects from one story to another and that is enough to make the audience hooked to it.

Well talking about the show Loki will be written as one of the best superhero shows in history with powerful character depthness perfect storyline with massive cgi and sets. And if you are following mcu then the climax will blow you away. Because we all know what gonna come next.....",9
I'm not sure if this is just a brilliant Marvel television show or if I hold great attraction for Charlie Cox's Matthew Murdock. I honestly think it's both!,9
"Some observations:

1. Anytime your most admiring audience is comprised of 17-year-old males you know you're in trouble.

2. Anytime the most common adjective used to describe your movie is ""cool"" you know you're in trouble.

This is a silly, juvenile, vulgar movie. Tarantino should have had the courage to make a cheap, violent, trashy Hollywood-style movie and been proud of it. Instead, he made a cheap, violent, trashy, Hollywood-style movie and hid behind the ""irony"" façade. Works for 17-year-olds, doesn't work for the rest of us.",4
"The series starts with an amusing episode 1, but after that it gets so bad. The worst is the shallow characters, the story that doesn't make sense and the unlogical situations. Not worth your time.",3
"To be honest I am surprised as to how Fargo can make it into the top 250 of IMDB.

Overall it is an ok film, but there is nothing special about it. the plot is good the cast is average but does well and that's about it.

I think if they the main characters were played buy so called A-list actors it would have been much better because the plot is good and makes an interesting watch.

I just think the selected cast cannot carry the weight of this film to make it even better.

Overall 6/10",6
"I enjoyed the movie the way I like reading secretly ""People"" magazine as a sort of escapism but then feeling guilty that common sense lost a battle over knowledge of mundane details of real life. But after the movie had ended, I realized that it was just another example of surrendering my sense of realism to tricky ways of enternteintment industry - and its ingenious ways of manipulating even more sophisticated audience into believing that serious matters need only a layer of honey and all will be be good at the end. I admit that the movie was fun to watch for its quirky humor and eccentric characters, but was it a realistic description of mental illness? I dare say that not. Actually I think that being mental case looked in this movie like a lot of fun. You are crazy but there are still lots of people around you although in real life families and friends slowly leave you. In the movie our main characters are supported by many family members and friends - the idea I cannot buy easily seeing so many lonely, crazy people living on streets. And what about hard realities of life such as money? He is in a mental hospital for months, has a very patient psychiatrist(only in movies)and have no problem obtaining medicine which is quite expensive in USA. Who is paying for all of that? He has no insurance after being fired and his family doesn't look rich to me. And another perk of being a crazy person according to movie: you really don't have to look for work in this lousy economy ; you get off the hook because after all - you are crazy and nobody expect anything of you. What a relief! And you still are able to do all those funny things like going to games,participating in dance contests, living in nice places, meeting easily new love interest- and a quite hot one. Well, if mental problems are like that I wish to be put on the list of candidates. It certainly beats our mundane, boring lives and constant worries about jobs,children, pensions, getting old.ill and poor. Well, dear viewer - it is like that: a lot of mentally ill people end up on streets, neither get proper treatment nor medicine; many families reject them as too much of a problem to handle. So watch the movie as something to do on a boring winter night if you need some fun but don't believe it. Life isn't like that. If you really need to watch movie about realities of being crazy and living with a crazy person - watch ""A woman under the influence"" directed by John Cassavetes with Gena Rowlands as a crazy housewife and Peter Falk playing her husband. That's how life really looks like when you suffer from mental illness - not fun at all.",5
"This series is something unique , credit to Husain and Abbas Dalal and their Late Father for this really good concept. The series is not too long and not too short. It's like watching a 3 hour movie. Credit to all the actors in the series. From Small to lead everyone we're commendable. The story is predictable once things go the right track for Vasya. Would like to see some more twists in the coming season.

Love you Bhuvan , your acting was fantastic. A fan of your work since 2016. So happy for the musicians too. Fantastic job. Jarvis Menezes and Saurabh FAN since Dhindora !

"Anurag Basu has mastered the art of connecting sub plots by the story and presenting to the audience in a manner which will make them to be in the theatre till very end. Perhaps his potential lies in the screenplay and presentation. Sub plots were ordinary and as they say said in the movie "" Society aapko tab tak pareshan nahi karti jab tak ordinary ho"" Basu excelled in the art of of making these plots extraordinary by joining them with a link with each other. He did the same in ""Life in a Metro"" and he did it again.

Each character was vibrant and minutely developed and it was perfectly played by the caliber artists. impeccable timing of Raj Kumar Rao and timing of ""Kalin Bhiya"" was worth noticing.

The reference to the Bhilai wasn't unnoticed as Basu was born and brought up in Bhilai.

Overall it's a good film to watch.",8
On the positive side you have Michelle Yeoh who is a great actress and the two directors have some funny and original ideas. But it becomes pretty unbearable to watch as they keep on repeating the same ideas and visuals again and again. A bit surprised by the overwhelming positive reviews. Originality cannot replace a good script.,3
Season 1 was little okayish like barely 6/10 . But season to surpassed all hopes of bad content and i would rate season 2 as 2/10 . It is not as good as it appears . It is just a good trailer and heavy marketing plus over hype since Season 1. Don't even bother to watch if you haven't watched it yet.,5
"Everyone is familiar with The Godfather. The original novel by Mario Puzo is one of the best-selling books ever written. The movie is a total classic. Everyone can quote lines and scenes from it. It is one of the truly great films ever made.

Sequels are generally inferior to the original and mostly rehashing the same story. Godfather Part II is not like that. The only sequel to ever win Best Picture, it does surpass the original in many ways. They're both great movies and the Godfather series is the best ever made, including Part III which was nowhere near as good as the others but still enjoyable.

I prefer II over I. I just think it's more interesting, getting into the darker side of the mob. Al Pacino is outstanding as Michael Corleone. Robert DeNiro plays Vito as a young man in Little Italy. That was part of the book, but not in the first one. I love this movie. It's about as perfect as a movie could be. II together with I & III represent one of the great achievements in movie history. I thank Francis Ford Coppola, Al Pacino and the many talented people who brought us these great movies. It's things like The Godfather series that make us love movies so much.",10
"This franchise has been going for 26 years! And is any single one of them anyone's favourite film? It's hard to pinpoint what's missing, but something certainly is. Although there's some lovely location shooting it never feels like we're in any real place (they go to the Himalayas and we don't see a single local person! - mind you I suspect that, as with Carry On Up The Khyber, it's actually Snowdonia). Tom Cruise has star quality, sure, but hasn't entirely managed to shed his frat boy persona and become a grown-up James Bond type. The action relies a lot on CGI, and there's relatively little fighting (the MO of most action movies these days). Despite the outwardly frenetic pace, a lot of the time it feels like the story is not getting anywhere. And they're far too long, as if to make up in running time the relatively long gaps between films.

This one isn't easy to differentiate from the others. It could have made more use of action siren Vanessa Kirby - who looks like she'd eat Tom Cruise for breakfast - and less of wooden plank Henry Cavill, who surely demonstrates conclusively why he shouldn't be the next Bond. Reprising her role as a British agent, Rebecca Ferguson's not-quite English accent adds to the general air of nothing being real. They chase around, on foot, on motorbikes, in cars, in helicopters; but, even when it looks like two (not one, two!) nuclear bombs are about to explode you somehow don't feel a moment's real tension.

At least they're not po-faced like the Bournes.",5
"A biopic directed by Martin Scorsese about the rise and fall of one Jordan Belfort, a Wall Street stock broker who founded in the 1980s a brokerage firm that centered on selling penny stocks using high pressure tactics to small investors. He was indicted for fraud in 1998 and was sentenced for a relatively lenient 22 months in prison. The amoral, drug addicted Belfort is played by Leonardo Di Caprio (this is his fifth film for Scorsese); Jonah Hill is Belfort's main sidekick, Donnie. The Australian actress Margot Robbie is great as the blond bombshell - dumb model - trophy second wife of Belfort. Rob Reiner has an unnecessary extended cameo as Belfort's father. Though the subject matter is certainly interesting and the acting is fine, this film, despite its undeniable brio, is also quite unpleasant with its three hour non stop show of drug use and sordid sex. The movie is very repetitive: we see sex, drug use, a joke involving oral sex, sex, drug use, etc. Moreover, the movie has no characters one can sympathize – everybody is extremely unpleasant (well, maybe with the exception of the FBI agent played by Kyle Chandler, but he appears in the screen for only a little time). Jean Dujardin (the silent movie star from The Artist) has a nice cameo as a venal, corrupt Swiss banker.",5
"I can't find words that can express what I feel. This show is one of the best I have ever seen on screen. We lived a long journey with the characters and their development. All the characters are written in a very high quality, and many of them are mostly gray, so you cannot hate them, especially after presenting their motives. You will understand their actions. The animation is great, the fights, and the design of the world as a whole are amazingly well done. Also, the music is a piece of art that will remain stuck in my mind forever. As for the vocal performances, they are beyond excellent, a piece of art. This show is amazing and wonderful, and my rating for it would have been 10/10 if it had not been for the ending and the character of Ymir, which I did not accept or accept her motives, and it is considered the biggest mystery for me in this work as a whole. In general, I enjoyed this show a lot, and I was emotionally affected, and I also cried many times while watching it, and I advise anyone who has not watched it to watch it because it is worth it, but you must be careful with your eyes and your heart. A wonderful experience that will remain in my memory as one of the best things I have ever seen in my life.",9
Why not just go full throttle and aim for fun? The shades of serious missmatches the over the top action. Still worth it anyways...,7
"There are some scenes, we will be at the edge of the seat unknowingly... A best script from Mr.Ram kumar... By this movie we register that tamil cinema can give quality movies....

"Talk to Me is a horror movie that explores the consequences of playing with the occult, using a severed hand as a medium to communicate with the dead. The movie has a promising premise and some effective scares, but it also suffers from some flaws that prevent it from being a great horror film.

The movie's strength lies in its concept, which is original and intriguing. The idea of using a hand as a portal to the spirit world is both creepy and creative, and the movie does a good job of establishing the rules and risks of the game. The movie also has some impressive practical effects, especially the hand itself, which looks realistic and grotesque. The sound design is also well-done, creating a tense and immersive atmosphere.

However, the movie's weakness lies in its execution, which is uneven and inconsistent. The movie's pacing is slow and draggy, especially in the first half, which spends too much time on the characters' personal dramas and not enough on the horror. The movie's tone is also confused, as it tries to balance comedy, drama, and horror, but ends up being neither funny nor scary nor moving. The movie's characters are also underdeveloped and unlikable, making it hard to care about their fates. The movie's plot is also predictable and clichéd, relying on tropes and jump scares that have been done before.

Overall, Talk to Me is a decent horror movie that has some potential, but fails to deliver on its promise. It is not a bad movie, but it is not a memorable one either. It is a movie that might entertain some horror fans, but it is not a movie that will haunt them afterwards.",5
"This is a great show and Jenna Ortega does a great job. However, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzman are absolutely TERRIBLE. CZJ is bad but Luis is just awful. Both are playing the characters poorly.

However, the rest of the cast is exceptional and the storylines are entertaining. I just cringe every time Zeta-Jones and Guzman appear. These are are the only mistakes Burton made in casting.

I know there are some complaints that Burton's hand isn't really apparent here but it shouldn't matter. He did a good job with Wednesday and updated the family to the 21st century.

CGI is lacking in some scenes but nothing too terrible.",8
"Won't spoil too much - great characters, great story, visually stunning, the score is superb and some brilliant consequences for the mcu. I enjoyed wandavision and falcon and winter soldier, but this beat them both out of the park.",9
"First things first. Parineeta is a classic. When smart choices like these are made by film makers nothing much can go wrong. Of course, there is always the ever lurking risk of comparison with the novel, but it is safe to say in this movie's case that everyone involved does a wonderful job in executing it on the screen.

Vidya Balan(as Lolitha) makes a mind blowing debut. She seems like someone who has been doing this for ages! The natural flow of emotions that she carries in her eyes and so many unsaid words makes you fall in love with her every time she comes on the screen. I am going to go out of my way here and say Lolitha is my kind of a life partner. No two ways about it.

Saif Ali Khan (as Shekar Rai) once again proves that he is a horse for the long run. His character is a complex array of emotions - ranging from the musical and romantic to the obedient son of a rich man - and Saif does justice to his role big time. I would definitely recommend him to star in more such classics since it suits him really well.

Despite his small (yet very significant) role as the kind hearted gentleman - Girish Babu, Sanjay reassures you why we love him so much. If you were rolling on the floor when he was Munnabhai, you will take a bow to his dignified personification of Girish. A legend without a doubt.

All said and done there is one thing which kept haunting me is Sanjay's casting. Call me crazy but somehow Abhishekh Bachchan kept flashing in the mind's eye for Girish's role. He would have been ideal for that role given the range the character covers.

Music is just mind blowing. Mitra does an excellent job in recreating the 60s Calcutta and feel of the life in post-British India without a single glitch. My personal favorites are ""Piyu Bole...Piya Bole.."" and ""Kashto Mazza..."" shot on the train to Darjeeling.

For someone who wants to see a REAL Indian movie this is the great example. If people loved Lagaan for being Indian to the core, this one will definitely make it to their list. Movies like these go to show that one does not have to bare skin and gyrate to remixes to be heard. What is loud and clear are the silences that this movie captures.

Well done everyone who were associated with ""Parineeta"". It was a brilliant and satisfying movie experience.

A 10/10 for this pure classic and hope to see more such wonders come out of the think tank of the Indian movie industry. (Calling it Bollywood will not make justice to such gems.)",10
"The best part is the multiple Loki's. Sylvie is a great insertion though it gets demented. Is the new installment of Marvel series now to push LGBTQ characters. How about asexual characters - where I can watch superheroes without them being sexual in any sense. Sick of others morals or agendas pushed more and more as Marvel progresses in this fourth phase.

As far as, Tom Hiddleston, he's good but not as playful as before, the god of mischief is - too much - the god of existential crisis.

The mystery of the TVA kept me wanting to watch more. However, certain parts drag on.

For those reasons, it's not a great 10/10.",7
"OH MY GOSH! I just got back from the theater and this movie well exceeded my expectations! I nearly peed my pants several times, I laughed so hard. In fact I think I laughed the entire way through it. There were very few 'down"" times where something didn't end up tickling me. This movie is smart, funny, well casted and not your average ""American Pie"". I'm nearly 40 so I don't usually go for this type of movie but all the hype and some of the actors involved, peaked my interest. I would say this is a combination of Dazed & Confused, Napolian Dinamite and American Pie and it's about 100 times funnier than each of those! I loved the characters. McLuvin and the cops almost steal the show, the are sooo funny. This movie gets my thumbs up for sure so even if you are a skeptic you should give it a chance. I plan on taking others to see it as well real soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!",10
"We almost made it to the halfway point. Couldn't take anymore. Just goes to show that high speed chases, lots of gross deaths, and a bad script don't hold attention nor do they make for a good film. The screenplay's feeble attempt at compassion fell totally flat. The first, what? I'm guessing 20 minutes is just crash after crash after hanging eyeball, after the grossest possible shootings. For what? Nope, not watching til the end to find out.

The idea had potential. The execution was terrible. Even Ryan Reynolds can't save this.

Special effects alone does not a movie make. None of these characters are particularly likable or identifiable.

Save time. Skip this one.",2
"Dear Christopher Nolan,

Please stop. Just stop. You are too full of yourself and you can't even see it. You completely missed the point of this movie/storyline. You clearly don't know your audience and the times we live in. If I weren't on a plane for 4 hours with no other movie available to watch, I would have never spent 3 hours watching this. It was painful to watch. It had a few good moments and a few good lines but that's about it. This movie had so much pointless chatter and blabber that it completely took away from the incredible true story. The script and writing were atrocious. The whole time I was so distracted by the writing constantly thinking to myself ""Someone, somewhere, actually sat on a desk at a computer and for real wrote that line..."" The flashbacks and the constant time jumps have proven to be too difficult for today's movies to pull off and this one is no exception. You did nothing but just annoy me with all of those.

I give it 2 stars because it tried, despite the fact that it failed miserably in my book. The cinematography is excellent. And it had some good acting. But other than that - what a disaster!!",2
Highly disappointed! Nothing happens in this film.,2
"I'm gonna have to be completely honest. I might be biased here because I only watched this after I found out Gerard Way wrote the comic book series it's based on.

Anyways, the first season was a huge drag, but engaging enough to pull through at the end. The second season was a step up. The pacing was right, and the story was clever and neat. The ending was a little shoehorned in, but, I guess we'll have to wait and see what they do about it in the next season.

Aidan Gallagher definitely carries a lot of this show. His character is mean and very unique (in the confines of the show). Sometimes he reminds me of House and other characters like that. His actor... Well, it's one of the most perfect castings I've ever seen. Definitely my favourite character, and my favourite actor on the show.

8.5/10. Giving it 9 stars because I can't actually give it 8 and a half on here.",9
"I really love this show! It expands on the MCU (depending on how you think of it) and providing more story to tell about Agent Coulson.

I love the character interactions between the main characters, giving those family vibes in ABC Television. The special effects are just as advanced as the MCU films. The dialogue is so professionally written. The actors portrayed their parts so well.

However, no show or entertainment is ever perfect. One common theme I notice throughout the show is when some innocent characters turn into villains. Literally, every season, some character who start out good & innocent turns into an antagonist. Definitely won't spoil who, but it happens more common than viewers realize. Also, it is a television production, which is lower than the production of a feature-length film. The production value can be visible when watching it at a TV production standpoint. And finally, the movies affect this show but the show does not affect the movies at all.

Highly recommend this show to anyone who wants to dive deeper into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.",8
"First of all, let me say that my score for this movie is 6.5, but thanks to the site, I cannot give this vote.

I agree that this movie conveys a good message and concept, but I seriously don't know why it sold so much, but am I sad? Not at all. It makes me very happy that the movie was able to sell so much after Marvel's superhero movies.all actors have fully understood the concept of the film and good enough. I did not see this movie in the cinema, but I am happy that it made many people go to the cinema and see this movie. In the end, in this time with this movie everything is for the benefit of cinema.",6
Started off so well with both story and visually but then just went down hill from there. Scenes set were very good and almost felt like you were there. But as the movie went along just felt rushed and unrealistic.,6
"The acting is fine, the filmaking aspect is good, the costume design... I mean, the movie just didn't land for me, I think I've laughed once during the entire thing, my mom and my sister liked the movie tho.

I'll also give it some more points, cause I didn't get the murderer right at the beginning, still, is a Adam Sandler movie, just cheesie, and made for your aunt that doesn't watch a bunch of movie every decade to like it. I think it was the biggest Netflix release at the time, you can't take out the dude's credit for that. Still, it didn't landed for me, it might land for you, or may not.

3,5/10",3
The first season was one of you my favourite series in quite some time it was hilarious and brought something I hadn't seen before to the table. The second series just threw everything that worked so well in that series in the bin and on the whole wrecked it. Whilst there was the odd funny moment I certainly wasn't laughing out loud throughout like the first although the season finale I thought was very good. Season 3 was a bit up and down better than 2 but not quite as consistent as 1 that being said I did atleast enjoy every episode. Season 1 9/10 Season 2 4/10 season 3 7/10.,7

"I got bored very quickly and stopped after 10 or 15 minutes. Then I read the reviews. Plan on giving it another shot, but giving my initial feelings. Still hoping to get into this even half as much as Game of Thrones.",4
I thought that Micheal Jackson was dead. Also why hi is not in the credits. Feel really confused now.,4
"Despite the visual similarities to Inception, Doctor Strange (in 3D) looks incredible. In places it's breathtaking. Without a doubt, this is the closest to tripping you can experience in a cinema. However, all this eye-candy fails to hide the fact that underneath it all is a terrible, terrible, by-the-numbers film. It makes the same fatal error as Finn fighting Kylo Ren in The Force Awakens. The villain is powerful and experienced, but our hero, who is a beginner, manages to defeat him. This is only one of dozens of 'groan out loud' moments.

The script is poor and the 'jokes' are misjudged. If there's one sure fire way of preventing your film from aging well, it's by inserting jokes about Beyonce.

I can understand why Mads Mikkelsen did this film, as I'm sure he was well paid, but it's probably the worst film he's appeared in by a mile.

Lazy and formulaic. I give it 3/10 only because it looks so good.",3
"I have to sadly admit, I was quite disappointed with this film. I was expecting something dark and more interesting like the first two 'Batman'. Although this was a well made film, there were certain elements that just didn't live up to the same level the other films have in the past. I will say, that as good looking and as talented as Christian Bale is, there was something about him, when he played Batman, that didn't work as well as some of the other actors that have played him in the past. Michael Keaton, was by far and away the best person to play Batman ever in my opinion, and it seems to me that if they keep making these 'Batman' movies, it's going to turn into a James Bond series soon. The worst choice for any of the characters, I felt, was Katie Holmes. I like Katie as much as the next person, and she is undoubtedly very beautiful to look at, however, it seems hard to picture her as a D.A. at such a young age, when she was still just hanging out with Dawson on the creek. She was too young to play the role, and not right for the part. Someone, who I thought would have fit the role better, would have been Maggie Gyllanhall.

Michael Cain was good, however, his character certainly aged dramatically by the next film, if we're meant to believe this film preludes the very first 'Batman' with Jack Nicholson.

Morgan Freeman, did a fine job as well, however, for someone so famous, he sure did have a small part. It seemed almost a waste to have him in the film.

But, the best-looking and one of the best actors in the film was Cillian Murphy. You might have missed him in some of his other unpopular work, however, if you saw 'Red Eye', that's where he made his mark. He was very devious and in a way it was hard to hate him, since he was so good-looking. In a way...he should have played Batman. Then again, maybe not.

All in all it was a good film, just not a good 'Batman' film. It would have been better had it been a different superhero. Although I'm sure some of you will desperately disagree with me, I just found it a bit flat. But, it's very clean, with some violence, and as I recall no language. I would recommend it, as an action family film.",5
"Season 1 Review: 'The Boys' is outright manic, violent, howlingly hilarious & a scathing commentary on American Society, all shown through currently world's most trending genre, Superheroes. A world where Superheroes are celebrities & are managed by Corporation, Some Boys want to get revenge on them for all the atrocities thay have committed. This show explores corruption of humanity at the elite level of society, from toxic corporate culture, insane consumerism, business lobbying, dirty side of celebrity life, sexual exploitation of starry eyed newcomers, creation of wars to keep the arms trade going, powerful people with god syndrome. The dark comedy is absolutely top notch, with scenes so epic & disgusting it will surely make our parents faint. Everyone gives solid performances but Karl Urban as Billy Butcher & Antony Starr as Homelander are just ground breaking. Homelander is undoubtedly one of the most sinister villains ever portrayed on screen. Every scene he comes, I have this unsettling feeling that he is gonna do something horrific. The CGI is really good for a show & the music is great. There are so many great dialogues & characters are well formed, although some events happen very conveniently. Its one of the most fun shows out there & heavily bingeable. Dont Miss It.",9
I am sure most people are going to change their review after episode 4 and 5..,9
"I have watched this movie twice. The first time, I couldn't believe how lame it was. Here are arguably the greatest Marvel superheroes, all come together, the budget is tremendous, the actors are outstanding and the CGI is out of this world.

But what happens? Nothing of any interest. Nothing that was truly necessary in pushing anything forward.

I walked away the first time disheartened.

Time passed and I thought... No! Surely I wasn't thinking straight. Everybody loves this movie! I'm clearly wrong.

But I wasn't wrong. This movie is just heroes fight each other slightly and then random aliens. There was no brave step taken reminding me of how Disney also handled the Star Wars films. The same problem was here. Nothing was brave and nothing new was done.

I don't put spoilers to my reviews but this film is by the numbers and surprisingly not that good.

If you're a Marvel film fan or you just want to wind down, do zero thinking and just watch Hulk smash then this film is for you.

Marvel comic fans and other fans of great cinema will find this to be a rather large letdown.",3
"Unlike most, I actually enjoy the first Venom. It is a fun movie and it has some well directed action sequences. Hardy is great as Brock and Venom is hilarious. Fast forward to Venom, Let there be Carnage, and I can't find anything noteworthy to be positive about. Woody doesn't seem like the same character they set up from the first film at all and frankly, neither does Eddie. With Cletus, he is shown right off the bat to be super sympathetic, hurting, longing which is a far cry from the whacko sprawling messages on the wall in blood. (and don't even get me started on the hair!) The addition of Shriek was pointless as she had no chemistry with Cletus and the storyline overall was pretty uninteresting. The scenes with Brock/Venom were ok but not nearly as fun this time around, mostly due to the lines they gave Venom. His delivery wasn't as good, most of the jokes don't land, and the voice wasn't as deep or menacing as it was in the first either. It felt like they went overboard when they could have just kept the same balance they had before. Also, Venom kept exposing himself with his ""tentacles"" all the time, just randomly when Eddie is around other people. Are you telling me no one ever noticed?? Yeah, right.

And while I appreciate movies that don't turn their properties into 3 - 4 hour ""epics"", The runtime is this is just way too short and leaves no room for character development, especially with the supporting players. I think a good 10-15 minutes more might have improved some things but overall, you can't really make up for the bland story, inconsistent acting, and so-so direction.",5
Great tribute to our Indian Army. Very good performance by Vicky Kaushal. Loved every moment of the film. JAI HIND🇮🇳,10
"The show has a lot going for it. Wednesday is certainly an intriguing character. Thing is great, reimagined with CGI. The artists did a fantastic job.

But for some reason, the writers decided to take and make what monster species characters is and make it an allegory for gender identity or orientation, which doesn't really work. It's one of those things that's so poorly managed, I can't see people on either side of these issues appreciating the way they're presented.

The murder mystery and monster hunt is rather interesting. However, the subplot with her parents doesn't make any sense. Neither does what's happened to Gomez, who was incredibly fit in the original. There is a lot of manufactured drama, which also hurts the show. Situations and motivations that seem contrived to create drama and drag the story out. In many cases, the major arcs could have been handled without any of the added drama, and it would have been a better plot.

Overall, 5/10. If the writers focused on the story instead of checking boxes or manufacturing drama that isn't there, then it would be a great show.",5
Can't wait for season 2. I really enjoyed the show. Henry was awesome,4
I love it. I can't wait to see if there'll be a second season.,10
"Now I would like to take credit for that summary line ... come to think of it, no I wouldn't. But still the fact of the matter is, that my summary line is the actual title the movie received upon its release in Germany. Can you see them Dollar bills (or Euro bills in that case) in front of you? No you can't? There are there, because the only reason to change the title was to make it more marketable.

Apart from that scheme though, this movie is better than the first one. Which I did like too (it's an origin story after all), but I understand that some weren't that fond of. It did have issues being in the past and all, but this one is in the ""now"" (well after the Avengers and the other movies). There is also a TV show (Agents of Shield) that might tie up into the events of this, which I haven't seen. Marvels plan with phases and different story lines does work very neatly.

I reckon it won't be long until the first will get weary of all those superhero movies, but I'm not one of them (yet). Especially because the quality is there. As with all the other movies, there are extra bits in the credits and after the credits. Nice ones too",9
I think this show was okay. I can't remember enough about it. It reminds me of F is for Family.,5
"Let's start from the direction of the movie, I can say that it was excellent with several shots that show the movement of the camera in a nice technique that bring about the desired result. As a horror film, the make up was excellent and Sophie Wilde's performance was quite convincing but only in the intense scenes. The plot escalates as expected with no room for change in the development of the characters or their personality. But hardly expected script without a plot as we learn nothing about the spirits nor the hand which was necessary if you are talking about the first film. I hope for a second one where it will have more depth.",2
"How Is this thing even allowed here? The whole episode only contains bad and cuss words, all the ratings here are done by bunch of teen kids inspired by such culture. Don't know what the fuss is about.

The guy acts as if he is some saint, educated guy and is doing some great job. Even he knows that all he does is use foul language to attract teens.",1
"Even though the movie was made good in terms of technicality, cast , etc , there was a clear distortion of the truth in the movie which you can't pass by easily and say no matter. what is shown about Iran in this movie is utterly false because Hollywood always takes side and show prejudice about america and combine movies with political policies which is unacceptable.",6
"A gigantic disappointment.

The first ~10 episodes are top-tier television, but it gets worse and worse as the show continues until it's barely watchable.",4
"Personally I feel this was the most ridiculous, stupid movie I have seen in a long time.

This ranks with Snakes on a Plane and I absolutely could not stand the stupidity of that movie.

I especially hated that self righteous kid who was the pastor.

What an idiot.

I liked what happened at the very end.

This movie did not deserve the Oscars and wins it received.

I wish I hadn't wasted my time on this movie.

At least I didn't buy it and waste the money. It played on TV.",2
"1st episode was OK. 2nd episode was average. 3rd episode below average.

4th episode ....watched fast forwarding. Not waiting for finale.",3
"This film was one the most talked about films of 2016... but was it overrated? Personally, I think in some parts, yes. And some parts, no. And if you're not a fan of Broadway or west end musicals, then this film is definitely not for you. The art of film was fantastic and I can not fault one bit, the picture, the songs, choreography 👌🏼. And the acting was also great, but did they really need such big actors? Honestly, I don't think so, it was like being in a theatre , so many other actors and actresses would have taken on the role perfectly and maybe even made the film better. Another thing, the story line, it was so basic. A typical love story that was actually quite underwhelming. There was such a hype for this film, and it really left me a little disappointed. The only thing that stood out was the visuals for me, it was just a lovely cinematic film, but everything else was then left average, and that was not what I was expecting from an award winning film that was displayed and talked about all over the world.",6
"Don't go into this show expecting it to be like anything else you've seen from Marvel. While action is nowhere to be seen so far, the intrigue more than makes up for it. So far, I've enjoyed seeing this show as a mystery where alot of the enjoyment comes from trying to figure out just what is going on. Plenty of clues have been laid out if you look for them. The best thing about the show is that it is respecting its audience and allowing us to piece things together ourselves. I hope this new trend continues!

I give the first two episodes 9 out of 10 for balancing intrigue with sitcom charm very well. Hope you like it!",9
"Sure, we all know that the goal is to keep the audience guessing until the end to figure out ""who done it"". Toss in some odd hippie character who hardly has a role just to throw us off thinking it might be him.

But audiences have grown more intelligent over the years and use critical thinking and anyone watching the story unfold will be questioning how smart the detective is.

So one guy manages to smuggle in a smartphone but the detective doesn't? I mean, if you're goingto record evidence, you need a phone to take photos and record video. So why would he not smuggle one in and record Miles confessing to the crime?

It was fun to watch, but these movies could try harder and avoid swiss cheese holes in their plots by being more considerate to critical thinkers.",7
"This film has some great actors who are able to manage with what they're given, the premise of the film is interesting, however neither of these things can save poor narrative and disappointing writing.",3
"I didn't go in to this with any expectations. So-so cast, common movie plot...I was just hoping it lacked the silliness of Outbreak. After it was all over my husband asked me what I thought. The only answer I could come up with was ""boring"". The writing was dry and lacked any real pathos. We see people die - but it isn't tragic really. We meet characters and then they have no purpose to the story line. It's like a dozen little threads of semi- interesting concepts are suddenly cut with minimal fan far and no explanation. The whole movie plays out more like a documentary on what would happen if the planet was suffering from another flu epidemic of 1918, only less interesting. You get a little science, minimal character development, no proper resolution to anything...I think this one isn't even worth catching it on cable.",3
"To start with, The Deathly Hallows is, like a hundred other reviews would have said, the best movie within the Harry Potter franchise. It is dark, exhilarating, vaguely funny, a mood lifter and most importantly, it stays to the book. Yes, David Yeats gets it right this time.

The movie has been cleverly split into two parts, and this one ends at unarguably the perfect moment, leaving the audience wanting the 2nd part at the earliest. Rowling's masterpiece has been delivered in a visually stunning 2 hour format with success.

Coming to the cast, the regulars have done a great job, playing the roles of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley, while Ralph Fiennes continues to show why he should be in the list of one of the best Antagonists ever, as Lord Voldemort. Special mention to the crew, who have brought a dramatic change from the usual score, to a completely new and better one. Also, the animated shot of the Tale of The Three Brothers has been depicted wonderfully and is one of the many bright spots of the movie.

The movie is visually stunning, with beautiful scenic shots taken in different climatic conditions, and never fails to impress. David Yeats has done more than sit in a director's revolving chair and makes this movie an immense success. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint have developed really mature as actors and their chemistry on-screen is magic. There are a few lighter moments during the movie, amidst, to put in Rowling's words, dark times, and those moments are more than welcoming.

If at all, there were to be a downfall, it would be the pace. Ironically, this has also been one of the positives, but there were times when we wished the next scene would come soon. Yates has delved deep into his previous mistakes and tried to make sure they never repeat, with major success.

In the end, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 1 has certainly lived up to its hype, lived up to the book and will certainly be the foundation for what is believed and hoped to be a gripping end to this magnificent story. Great watch, great visuals, great acting, great story.

9 / 10.",9
Lost interest when show went political...we are inundated with race politics every day and Marvel was an escape...sad sad sad...and last episodes had way way way too long of scenes...I did watch entire season...I'm a GSP fan so wanted to see what happened to his character.,3
"Some people might not like this and call it generic or convoluted, but out of all the marvel shows that have come out recently. I liked this one the most. Much better than Loki or wandavision.

This one felt exactly like the movies and felt like a natural continuation to Winter Soldier and the captain america storyline. If they had cut this into three movies i think people would have loved it and would have praised it.

I think some of the hate is because of the tv show format. But it feels exactly like winter soldier in terms of cinematography and in terms of action and how the story develops.

I think this show fits perfectly with the MCU and fits much better than Wandavision which was weird.

Great action, great banter between Winter soldier and falcon, great drama, great commentary, great ending.",7
"The plot is a little all over the place and it can get confusing at times but it's a well made and entertaining fantasy show. Henry Cavill does a great job as Geralt. The fight scene choreography is some of the best I've seen, particularly the one in the first episode.

My only gripe with the show is that the CGI of some of the creatures is really bad, especially the dragon and the fawn things. Also the dialogue was a little clunky in parts but not enough to ruin scenes. I expect they'll get a bigger budget for season two and improve on a few of these issues.

Not on the same level as GOT but it's still pretty damn good.",8
It would be soooo much better with only the Winter Soldier !!,4
"I recently decided to watch ""The Amazing Spider-Man"" hoping to see a decent adventure now in summer and expecting an even better point of view than the previous movies of Raimi. Well, Spiderman... was not so amazing after all.

At first, I will start with a reference at the cast. I didn't know Andrew Garfield (Spiderman) to be honest, and I was unsure about his acting skills. My instinct was right after all. His playing was more like a teenager getting excited to be a mutant hero and the sense of reality was nowhere to be found. It was like he wanted it and it happened. No convincing about his feelings in his act. The rest of the cast apart from Martin Sheen, of course, and a surprisingly good Emma Stone, as the romance person in the movie, was not something special.

About the script and directing now. i didn't like it. OK, standard special effects we see in every movie like this, some mildly impressing scenes etc. But, the story WAS MISSING. A lot of loose ends, in fact we learned few things about Peter Parker. The director was more eager to show as how cool was Spiderman that he forgot to show us how he became Spiderman. And here it is Garfield's fault too. He wasn't convincing in his emotions, it was like a super-wow phase it happened to him and he enjoyed it rather than a drastic change in his body and mind and the consequences. My thought is Maguire was better. And the script and cast of the first Spiderman movie, which we can compare with, is better.

To sum up, the movie was way below the expectations. A lot of plot gaps, unconvincing acting (mainly from the protagonist) and very limited action are the main points which indicate that you should see the movie only as a last minute choice in the drought of the summer (as I did).",3
In my opinion the show is almost perfect. Few things are changed from the books but the Henry Cavill did an amazing job. One thing that bothers me is casting. The story is based on Slavic medieval Poland and there are clear descriptions in the books how characters look. Just look at the discription of Triss. I have nothing against the diversity however when so called political correctness forces creators to changed the art something is not right.,2
The worst movie. Don't want bullywd anymore. These ghtiya druggies ppl don't deserve our love.,1
Short and to the point. Loved Loved loved episode 1. Figured episode 2 on would be just as good. I don't know where they went with the plot but they screwed up the show. I am at episode 4 and I give up. Dam I loved the first movie. I love the premise. more punishing less shitty side stories.,5
"Rating: 8.5 Overall, the Coen brothers give a prime example of why they are some of the best screenwriters in Hollywood as they make a short runtime filled with many memorable, funny moments (even though it may not be as incredible as their other movies), but it does falter towards the end as it is incredibly rushed as it feels like it could've used 15 more minutes to keep up to the pace it had for the majority of the movie.

Very Good Direction, Good Acting (Great from Frances McDormand, Very Good from William H. Macy, Good to Very Good from Steve Buscemi, Pretty Good from the rest of the cast (Good from the remaining main cast, and decent from the supporting cast and extras)), Great Story (though is very surface level in its imagery and symbolism), Great Screenplay (laced with witty, quirky midwestern dialogue (as seen by the intentional awkward pauses during the Minnesotan conversations)), Great to Incredible Cinematography (Especially the distant panning shots that show the contrast between the main images and the snow), Pacing is Great for the most part given its short runtime (but is incredibly rushed towards the end (particularly the final 15-20 minutes))",8
"Great movie minus the moron TJ Miller, badly miscast in every movie. Other than that douchebag, great flick!",6
"A really fun series that I enjoyed watching, but the first and last episodes were the weakest in the series, but it was still an excellent series, the series had some annoying errors such as not answering some of my questions, and the acting and story in the series was the best in the MCU, my rating for this series is 7.8",7
"Before you read this, don't misunderstand me, Inception was a solid movie. Far above average. The only thing I believe made it a disappointment was the fact that it was a Christopher Nolan film, and definitely NOT his best. It doesn't hold a candle to the intensity, complexity and intelligence of Memento. It didn't achieve the strong style and shocking brilliance of either Batman Begins or The Dark Knight. It didn't establish the sense of wonder that the Prestige left the viewer feeling.

Inception had an incredible concept. One that I believe could have set the base for Christopher Nolan's most impressive film to date, but he took this concept and threw 180 million dollars into special effects rather than a solid story and really Grade A acting. Now DiCaprio's performance in Inception was excellent but most of the accompanying actors were average action flick performances. Which was a disappointment because in Nolan's greater films, he usually puts the acting of the side characters before the lead (Memento: Teddy. TDK: The Joker).

I feel like Chris Nolan got wrapped in by Hollywood and decided to make an action film with a psychological plot, than a psychological thriller with some action sequences. Not his most intelligent, or captivating film to date, but still worth the price of admission.",5
"Seriously to all the fans including me who were waiting to watch the season 2 of a masterpiece web series, I am sorry guys this season will disappoints you. Reason: Lack of the thrill which it has carried in season 1, Story line is not on rhythm. It seems like makers have lengthen the story line just to make extra sequel.",2
"The character by which i was touched i.e. Sandeep bhaiya's character, it defines a lot of things.",8
"There are definitely good episodes but no truly amazing ones. There are a LOT of bad episodes, like REALLY bad episodes that are just incomprehensible paired with being really boring and having terrible acting.",1
"This movie is one of the worst crime movies I have ever seen, I could predict every aspect of the movie and I didn't feel any empathy for any of the characters even though Ana de Armas did a good job, but the movie in itself is just bad and I can't understand why this movie has such a high rating, just have a brain and you know the whole movie before you watch it, it's SO PREDICTABLE!!!!!! BAD MOVIE",2
"I remember I was 5 years old when I first saw the film, it was the first Hindi film which I watched and I was spell-bounded. It is the most romantic film ever made in bollywood, the best adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. Since this film I have been the biggest fan of Aamir Khan and have watched his each and every film. He was brilliant in the film, looked handsome and acted superbly, the Papa Kehte Hain song made a special place for him in my heart. Juhi Chawla was great too and together they both made a quite cute couple, definitely among one of the best bollywood has seen. All the cast's acting was topnotch be it Raj Zutshi, Dilip Tahil, Alok Nath and the rest. The film scored in ever department like music, cinematography choreography, background score …the works. No one can forget the songs of this film like Aye Mere Humsafar, Ghazab Ka Hai Din, Akele Hain Tu Kia Ghum Hai, the poetic lyrics and haunting tunes of these gems made them timeless. It is one of my most memorable and favorite films. It will not be wrong to say that QSQT is a true classic of Indian Cinema. It came at a time when crass, wild and vulgar action films was order of the day, it brought back romance and melody to bollywood and a whole new wave of romantic films started being made. Eventually the 90's decade was dominated by love stories, in this context it is truly a landmark film in bollywood !",10
"Season 1 was great. I had forgotten all about this show until season 2 dropped and I was excited. I made it a couple episodes in before it became clear this wasn't anywhere near the quality of season 1. The writing got so bad. I don't know how to describe this better than to say it's a MacGuffin wearing a Gundam suit of plot armor that was so unbelievable in the context of this story and the characters that I immediately began to feel disgusted with the show. It was so immensely stupid that I couldn't even move on to the next episode.

If you haven't started this series yet don't. They took a great show and then ruined it. It went from a solid 7 or 8 to at best a 3 or 4. Season 2 is such a disservice to what was a good show. I only kept watching out of morbid curiosity, but I stopped caring about the series.",3
"The more I become interested in the history of films and cinema the more I realise how much of a genius Spielberg truly is. The Fabelmans was a genuine delight to watch with it hitting all the right notes and I think I have a soft spot for personal films from directors as of late(Aftersun). Now for me I watched the trailer in cinema about 5 times and loved seeing it show up each time but finally watching it was definitely worthwhile. The acting from each character was amazing and Michelle Williams really stood out for me in this as Sammys mother, especially when there's this shot towards the final few parts where she just looks dead in the camera with this look in her eyes and knowing the context behind it truly made me choke up, fully deserving of her Oscar nomination. I also felt like I had some similarities that resonated with me in some parts of the film like with Sam and his relationship with his parents individually which I won't get into but it hit a certain part of me which made me fall even more in love with this film. I also have to say about the outstanding shots and scenes in this film and the complexity and beauty behind them and also with seeing west side story in cinema also having featured those incredible shots like the dancing scenes in the gym hall, I can't help but hope to never see the day come where Spielberg stops making films. A film I think I will surely confide comfort in for many years to come.",10
"I quit, couldn't finish episode 5 and am amazed I got that far. Dialogue is terrible, interaction between Geralt and Ciri feels awkward, this show ruined what Witchers really are and instead made them out to be drunk teenagers with no code. I could go on and on but I just want to move on and forget this show even exists.

Still love Henry Cavill though, atleast he tried.",4
"I recently watched this show which left me incredibly disappointed. The protagonist's toxic feminist behavior was not only off-putting but also damaging to the show's overall message. Her habit of physically assaulting her husband and constantly maligning the entire male population was utterly distasteful.

Moreover, the show's plots were weak and unrealistic, and it seemed like every episode followed a predictable formula where the woman would yell her way to ""victory"" without any meaningful character development or nuance. It was frustrating to see such one-dimensional storytelling.

Can you imagine a mother who actively encourages her young daughters to hate their father due to his accusations and imprisonment!? That was deeply unsettling. Instead of promoting empathy and understanding, the show seemed to glorify vengeful actions.

Overall, the TV show was painfully pathetic, failing to deliver any meaningful message or engage the audience in a thoughtful manner. It missed the opportunity to tackle important themes with sensitivity and depth, leaving me with a sour aftertaste and no desire to continue watching.",1
"If you're a person who likes to leave your brain at the door, you'd be doing yourself a favor by taking a 2 hour and 7 minute nap rather than watching this. Direction, dialogue, humour, plot, soundtrack, most of the acting... all bad. The special effects could be considered impressive if they weren't so over-the-top. Mélanie Laurent was the one enjoyable exception.",1
"The movie is impressive by its reality and immersion on the WWI period, the caos, the communication problems and the visuals of trenches are just some of the things that made me fell in this historical conflict. The continuity and the non felling of cuts could be revolucionary.",8
"I don't like popcorn movies like Avengers. However, this film is fuckin awesome! You can enjoy cool battles and fight, it's much better than messy and boring fight in Avengers. Moreover, the story is clear, easy to follow, deep, and reasonable.

Japanese Film Industory and Advatisement companies are suck. They use EXILE (Japanese dancing idol)'s valad song to promote this film. Never do such kinda lubbish promotion please!",8
"Carnage is an appropriate description of this sequel because it's a mess. From Woody Harrelson's character as the supposed evil antagonist, no more menacing than a plastic bag, and with a camp approach, and look, that just doesn't work.

The whole thing is awful, a rehash put lazily together, and it lives up to the general idea that sequels are mediocre, and mediocre is a charitable assignation.

Nearly all of the acting seems like it was done remotely during lockdown, one eye on the kids, the other on the screen. It's truly terrible. I think the director should stick to acting.

If I was Tom Hardy(who had a hand in the script, it seems), I'd end this symbiotic relationship, forever.",2
"I had certain expectations but the first half of the movie was a little boring and slow paced. This just to introduce the story and characters until to get to the main part of the story and to solve the mystery. The locations and the soundtrack were very nice.

This thriller could be the beginning of a sequel and so on. It could work in my opinion with a shorter running time and more fast paced scenes. The most important thing is that next time the content must come quicker to a result without waiting so long. Daniel Craig for detective was good placed for this role and I could immagin him in the next possible stories.

If you like this genre of thrillers check out the newer films with detective Hercule Poirot.

5/10.",5
"Oscar Isaac acting is the only reason to watch this show. Everything else about Moon Knight was completely terrible! CGI, worse than any DC movie. Every Egyptian prop looked newer and cleaner than a brand new car. Apparently the budget for this show was 25 million per episode, if that's the case, they got ripped off. Oh, and Ethan Hawke was boring as the villain, he looked and acted like he was half a sleep through the entire show.",4
"This is the third movie directed by Sofia Coppola that I've seen and it only confirms for me that she has absolutely no talent in that area.

Like her ""Marie Antoinette"", it's boring as I kept waiting for something to happen and nothing did. For one thing, there's not much of a plot. The story is such that one could go away for a while, paint a wall or two or play a round of golf, come back, and one hasn't missed anything.

Bill Murray shows that he's not much of a dramatic actor, as if ""The Razor's Edge"" didn't already demonstrate that, but, then, he doesn't have much to work with.

Scarlett Johansson doesn't do much, either, and I kept expecting her character to throw a tantrum because she's about as bored and aimless as the viewer is made to feel. The husband in the film doesn't seem to care about her, making me wonder why those two characters bothered getting married as they seem to be heading for divorce court.

I first watched it on commercial TV and it didn't impress me. More than 15 years later, it hasn't improved. It's so bad that anything by Ed Wood is like Shakespeare in comparison.",2
"As a huge fan of the game I was disappointed with one unnecessary episode and felt like they couldve easily stretched this to 11-13 episodes for the season and built up the connection and background for each character more appropriately as well as included more action.

8 episodes in so far and we're almost at the end of the first game where some cool things were left out and certain aspects were changed like the introduction of Ellie, the displayed intensity of the Fireflies conflict with FEDRA occurring in the world, some more serious fight scenes, Bill being alive and setting up badass traps (where Joel is upside down trying to keep Ellie alive from infected) , and some other signature parts of each of the game's chapters.

Great show overall and fantastic cast but I just know it couldve been done a little better for the popularity and perfection of this franchise.",7
"'The Last of Us' has a plot-line we've seen before. The world is at its 'end', infected zombies roam the planet, a few surviving human outposts remain. A young teen (played by Bella Ramsey) is thought to be immune from the infection and so she is being escorted (by Joel, played by Pedro Pascal) across the country to a hospital where, it is hoped, she can be studied and operated on. Whatever it is that makes her immune can then be turned into a vaccine.

Much credit to the series stars Pascal and particularly, Ramsey. They are spectacular in the way that actors should be; We care about them; we care a great deal. We understand them and, as we do, we forgive them their faults. And particularly in the case of Joel (Pascal's character) there are many.

However, 'The Last of Us' is, through its first season, very uneven. Some episodes are great (#3, #5, #9), others (#4, #7) are talk-filled and, as such, boring to the hilt. I, for one, was particularly taken by the season's Episode #3. It might not be everyone's 'cup of tea' but I was touched by the story, enjoyed the relatively quick pacing, and how the story of the episode's two main characters intersected with the series' main characters.

But more uneven still is the fact that in that in the most boring of the episodes - and always in their final five minutes - something dramatic does take place. Something, an event, a death, a cliff-hanger, that has impact on the plot, on the coming episodes. And so you do not want to fast-forward through the slow moments as you might actually miss something.

And then the lighting - or lack of it; far too much of this series takes place in the dark. And yes, I know, the Last-of-Us-World is ending, and electricity is scarce and precious. But still. There is daylight. And little or nothing happens during those well-lit hours of the day.

Finally, I know nothing about the video game on which this series is based. I suspect that there will be future episodes / seasons to come (though based on the discussion following the Season #1 finale, I can't be certain). There's really nothing more I can add. See it. But know it has its shortcomings.",5
After the horrible 4th episode this episode is pretty good with interesting characters and character conflicts. I didn't like wanda's bad guy speech though. And since when wanda stop caring about other People. Need more explanation.,6
Endless pointless scenes. Margot's character was unnecessary. The Western Leo was shooting in the movie seemed more interesting than the actual movie!,3
"The Fabelmans (2022)

The idea of Steven Spielberg directing a biographical movie about Steven Spielberg did sound interesting because of the director's status so I prepared myself to be swayed by the magic of cinema. The film was hyped up to another level by my fellow cinephiles and while I did find it enjoyable, there was one glaring element that might not make it as interesting to the casual moviegoers. See, the key selling point of The Fabelmans is that the protagonist is Spielberg but if someone watches the movie without knowing it, then it is reduced to a rather basic stretched out story of a boy making amateur films.

With plenty of warmth and care, Spielberg presents a tale of his teenage years when he first picked up a camera and discovered the passion for the art of filmmaking. It's a joyful film with humor, drama and spirit and yet, it shows how Spielberg's life was completely average without anything extraordinary or dramatic to make it into a gripping story. He had educated parents who loved him, his family was well off financially and he was free to pursue his passion without a care in the world. While there is definitely nothing wrong with growing up this way, it doesn't make for an interesting or inspirational movie.

The film does a great job in showing the power of editing which is often taken for granted. Here, it's one of the main reasons why Spielberg's amateur films worked so well while showing how he has always been creating new concepts and bending boundaries of filmmaking that turned him into a legendary director. Ironically, The Fablemans itself suffers from poor editing as it could have easily removed 30 minutes.

The Fabelmans is also a story of Steven's parents and the scenes involving them injected some much needed emotion and drama. The movie has a nice grainy filter that creates the cozy feel-good atmosphere and the actor chemistry allowed it to flow despite the excessive runtime. The technical elements of movie making were presented in an easy to understand way without boring the audience with complexities. I was wondering if the film would end in some cliche fashion and thankfully, it had a nice cinema-esque conclusion.

This movie is so random and dumb it hurts to watch. Data from the Goonies got old. Not sure how it got an 8.7 on here but who knows. It's a 2 hour movie about random acts causing this lady to shift through multiple dimensions.,2
I just don't see what people like about it.?! I thought Dunkirk was much better.,6
I have been waiting for marvel to drop us something to watching mcu related since the terrible mistake of not releasing black widow on vod. As a comicbook from when you had to read the story and couldn't just watch I find this new show to be slightly boring to be honest (so far). I definitely understand what they are setting up and think I know what they are trying to do but I just wish the episodes were a little longer. I've never been a huge wanda/vision fan to be honest and that fact may sway my viewing experience a little. I have very high hopes for the next 7 weeks for sure and I know this will end up being a home run. Just give it time! If marvel can turn a lackluster movie like captain marvel into a blockbuster hit this 9 episode show should do very well!!,7
"With all the hype that is surrounding this film being nominated for best picture I expected more. Some of the scenes made me question why were they done in that manner. Overall it's a good solid (7) with beautiful scenes and fantastic cinematography. Personally, I could see it getting a couple of nods for some lower level awards at the Oscars, but I do not see this taking home best picture. I would definitely recommend seeing the movie it has the major components of a good war film.",7
"I'm really greatly disappointed from the really poor job Netflix has pulled of in terms of story development. This was one of the worst things I have watched recently and It's really frustrating knowing how much better they could have done it. The main problem is that they didn't provide proper time to introduce the characters to the viewers and let them understand and create attachment to them. Right now some completely random people pop up, without any background and important to the plot events occur. The characters emotion response just looks so fake and overly dramatic, precisely due to the lack of attachment between the viewer and the characters since there isn't enough time spent on character development and the main plot story, that has to connect those individual characters stories. The TV series is a complete mess. I was hoping that this thing would watch Game of Thrones but it's eons of lightning years away...",1
"A truly gripping first 45 mins but I thought it lost its way a little in the middle, recovered at the end. Wonderful heavy hitting cameos. Script could have been better. The cinematography was outstanding and deserves all possible accolades in that department. Superb soundtrack reenforced the dramatic setting.",7
I really enjoyed it I see alot of bad reviews talking about how bad it was and how much it was like I love lucy and bewitched and had laugh track(that did get annoying at times) but that's the point.,8
You should watch it! It's unbelievable and really entertaining.,9
This movie is not only a painfully slow movie. It as well make no sense as you enter the world. The world begins to chain just from a disgusting video and one person comment. The team that come collects nothing and just attempts to escape. Natalie portmans beauty is the only reason I watched this movie and the hope that it would get better got me threw the movie but never did it in fact it got worse and worse until the laughable lighthouse scene and obvious end,2
"I wonder if the writer and director have ever seen the original Lost in Space?

It was about individual stories starting and finishing in each episode. Something like star trek. Not about gender issues, not about individul characters, who fancy whom,... It was not aimed to show men are dominating women, or vice versa Girls push and look down the boys, or vice versa. It was about independent funny and intelligent short stories; It was not soap opera. I struggeled to view up to 4th episode. Will never go back to see any more.

I beleive the name of these series should be changed to something else. I am sure there are many people who like this sort of series. But this is not, Lost in Space, not even near of it.",1
"Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is unfortunately disappointing and is clearly a heartless cash grab. Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston and Dan Fogler give great performances again and Jude Law is a welcome addition. The CG is great and David Yates' direction is really good. However the script is bad, focusing too much on setting up the next installments and padding out the run time with too much backstory rather than getting this one just right.",6
"This show reminds me of Woody Allen's Manhattan Murder Mystery. It would be a perfect 10 if it weren't for Selena Gomez. I just don't understand the casting choice. Everything else is so perfect, I can't help but wonder if her dull delivery is what the director was going for? She over articulates every word, nothing feels spontaneous, it's like I can hear her repeat her lines in her head before she speaks. Her character has depth but she is unable to portray them. Luckily Martin and Short's performances are so powerful that they make up for her cringy acting but I am so frustrated as this could have been such an amazing show! Maybe there's something I'm missing and she is right on point? That's the real mystery for me!",7
"Really low effort, made-by-committee fare with no soul here, sorry.

Absolutely hated Christian Bale's character and his family. Bale played a Brit loudmouth with a temper, his wife and kid played stereotypical posh Brits with a heart of gold and zero personality. They all came across as phony. Every character in this movie seemed like they were playing their modern day selves, just on a sixties set with sixties clothing.

Matt Damon basically plays himself, almost like he walked off the Bourne set and put a cowboy hat on. Bam, that' was the extent of his attempt to play Carol Shelby. Total joke, I wouldn't have paid him a dollar to play this role. They really could have found someone better.

The movie was an hour too long. It was dumbed down for the Thanksgiving Dinner crowd. If you didn't see the documentary, you wouldn't know what was going on. There really was nothing about the engineering that went on with making the car. It was all about Carroll Shelby and Ken Miles.

Things about the movie were just weird. One character had a bubble jacket that I don't think would have been around back then. Matt Damon's character goes to meet Ken Miles' wife after a certain event, doesn't go speak to her...also, in spite of a tragic event recently happening, she and the kid act like nothing is wrong and life is great. It's really bizarre and lazy directing.

I can't recommend the movie, it was terrible, sorry. The documentary is far superior. This was just bad.",1
"The trailer had me. The show lost me. There are moments when one can see the potential of what this could have been. It's stylized well in terms of shooting and music but the story and casting fall short. Why is this rated so high? Not to be insulting but are you guys honestly that easily entertained? This sitting at 8/10 gives Netflix the nod that it's ok to make more series like this. Ugh. Finally, Ellen Page...jesus. Not her fault that she was asked to play a meek, sulking character but man, removing her would be a start.",3
It seems like the story is so heavy for no reason. Was so dragged just to create a suspension forced villain for no good reason. Why I mean why. They really lost sense of Spiderman and the story revolves around him. Get Iron man out of your head guys. I would have given 1 but just OK to watch just for heck of it. Rubbish movie though.,3
"I watched season 1 some time ago and I was immediately enchanted by the series. I was drawn to 'Discovery of Witches' as I am a great fan of both Matthew & Teresa who have wonderful on-screen chemistry but it was quickly obvious for me that this show has much more to offer than great acting (I really enjoyed every character through both seasons, the casting is perfect): it has incredible music, gripping plot, amazing photos and perfect details. I looked forward season 2 very very much and got sad after some reviews that 'the show is no longer interesting'. THIS IS NOT TRUE! I don't want to bring any spoilers so I will speak in general - season 2 is even better and even more than I hoped it could be. In season 2, we find out more about creatures, there are new adventures, more magic, more love and more everything. It was so incredible that I can not wait for season 3 and I'm sure I will binge-watch, both season1&2, before the s3 premiere! :) This show has everything and more, also there is no teenage drama which is nice after all other fantasy genre series. My recommendation is to give it a try, cause once you do it, it will be on your list of the best series :)",10
"In my opinion The Godfather ii is the greatest movie ever to be created. There's nothing wrong with any of it, there's no useless scenes, and it's extremely entertaining. Al Pacino should've won the Oscar.",10
Soooo boring and slow. Typical teenage stuff. Nothing interesting or exciting about the show.,4
"I saw ""Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"" on DVD. The movie is Good, but I don't fill anything new, and look I am watching ""Men in Black"" in old classic look. I don't read the book yet, so I am not judging the book. I think today's book writers when they write, so they think about movie point of view. At last overall movie is good but not as I expected.",6
This film is a visual treat and delivers a decent yarn along the way with strong performances from both human and canine actors!,7
"Throughout the Harry Potter films my main problem with them (other than the writers terrible opinions) is that they have quite bad pacing which is to be expected from adapting an extremely long book into a film but this film and it's continuation suffer most of all of the films because of it, some of the lore is interesting in this film but it honestly isn't very interesting as a film.",5
"This was boring and pointless... I was expecting something about a boy defying adversity to become a man and and artist.

But it was a boring hallmark tv drama about an inestable mom, an absent dad, and a willing uncle.... The third act is about a young guy being bullyied and how his home made movie defeated his bullyes.... AH! And a girlfriend.

What the heck!!! I think is not a good idea you try to make yourself your own monument in life.. Im¡'m a great Steven Spielberg fan and admirer, and I really wanted to like this film... But I rather watch JAWS, JURASSIC PARK or SCHINDLER LIST one thousand times again and again over this sad mess.",4
"I had grown up as a kid watching Shazam so I was a little invested in seeing this movie. Wish I hadn't been!

Disappointing, dull, not great action or humour.

It fails to find its place neither being a kids film or an teen/adults movie.

Waste of time.",4
I wanted to like this movie but just couldn't hang in there. The writers finally found an outlet for their middle school fantasies. Just not enjoyable in any way.,2
"...just kind of ""meh."" Pretty boring a lot of the time. Kind of felt like a whole series that's just a conversation you're having with someone in which he/she mires you down with details about the stupid dreams he/she had the night before and you can't escape it.",5

"The biggest problems with black mirror are similar to a show like The Twilight Zone. Making a show where each episode is different from the next can result in a mixed bag of quality. Seriously though black mirror is great because when it gets its satire right, it is truly unforgettable. I can't stop thinking about the Christmas special because of its fantastic ending. There are duds in this shows run obviously, but they aren't awful episodes. It's a strong show and there is not much more I can say

Also watch bandersnatch",8
"The cinematography was very nice, but the story was really boring. The guy next to me slept for 20 minuten and missed nothing. When you enter the movie you can leave your brain at the cloakroom. The acting was nice, though.",6
"Typical action movie with a non typical ending.

Worth a watch for the action and cinematography but don't expect a realistic plot.

I just wish the sound mixing was better. Why do we have to strain to hear the dialogue?",7
"For those who don't know, the poor rating will not make sense. For those who've heard but think its no big deal, I disagree with you. For those who know and care, please help stand up with me.

It is fact, not speculation, that John Nash was at very least bisexual, and the tendency to suppress this fact only adds to the stigma of shame thrust upon those of us who are not happily heterosexual. The people who write the scripts insist on changing facts to make the movie more mainstream and profitable, to make it more palatable for those whom share distaste for people who don't fit into how their egos require.

It is a shame, because this movie could have been groundbreaking beyond its intriguing portrayal of a brilliant man's inner turmoil, done so well otherwise. You cannot use an excuse that revealing a complex man's complex natures would only give the story too much distraction.

I would have enjoyed the movie otherwise but found the omission disgusting. Much like 'The Martian Child' by David Gerrald that was successfully translated to bigscreen, but because it would be 'unacceptable' to have characters 'marred' by so-called character-defects that would reduce their likability, well we certainly can't allow children to have such role models, can we?

I am fortunate to be well-educated and well-read, to have known that gay or bisexual men can be awesome and powerful, not just amusing. There are plenty who need the truth more than the majority demand placation.",6
"The two points I award are solely for some good cinematography in episode one of season 3.

Besides that, this is a dreadful vomit-inducing parade of senseless and meaningless interactions between inept, incompetent cops and an omnipresent, omnipotent, all-knowing, debonair, modern day murdering cannibal; who also just happens to be a top notch medical surgeon and a psychiatrist.

Its a wonder that a Psychiatry Association has not lodged a complaint for sheer smearing of their profession. The series has shrinks as cops, shrinks as shrinks of shrinks and shrinks as villains. What they all have in common,is that they're all mentally deranged.

The shock factor of humans being consumed as five star dinner meals, or rendered as meat-art in every possible shape and form loses its appeal after a few episodes. The fall back position of the producers seems to be dark melodrama between the various characters. The problem with this attempt is the unlikely plot, poor story line and poor writing, and it all ends up pushing the viewer to complete indifference.

I'm an admirer of American television productions, but sustaining this drivel beyond even one season is a sure way to kill the industry.",2
"Bollywood isn't growing up, it's audience doesn't let it.. Laughing hard when people say sacred games is something different, it's isn't.. Just the way how media is asked to portray it, we had Vaastav twenty years ago which was a great movie.. Anurag Kashyap can make only one kind of movies and shows, this isn't creativity for god's sake.. Swear words, nude scenes are the top reasons why indians are loving the show.. They haven't seen much of them on Indian television, most of the guys I know love sacred games just because it has dialogues which include swear words.. Indian love to hear these swear words.. Producers are milking money out of it.... There's nothing in the show... Way overrated!",1
"I just spent almost 3h on nothing, if you have spare time smd want to see how is possible to make long movie without telling story then watch it",5
"Superbad 7.5 / 10 (Comedy) Saw this today. It's not a bad comedy. Think American Pie minus the nudity but add 500% more vulgar jokes and language. I will proudly say I was laughing a lot in this film, and the only real disappointment I had was the ending, and the fact that 40% of the best jokes can be found in the R rated trailer. Still I felt it was money well spent, if your only goal is to laugh and your not easily offended by language.

There are two police officers in this movie who kind of stole the show from the kids, but thats OK, they were hilarious and very over the top.

There is also a lot of gay innuendo between the two best friends. They seem to like each other better than the girls who want to bang them.

For the category of comedy I would easily rate this 7.5 out of 10. based entirely on how much laughing I actually did.

Very John Wick style movie, enjoyed it for what it was and was very happy with the movie as a whole.

If your wanting action from beginning to end this is for you.",7

U can watch with full family. U will enjoy real life in Nagpur slums people how the living situation.",10
"Everything all at once is well produced and has a good overlaying idea but unnecessary when it comes to so many other thing. If an honest discussion can be had, I would say something. But a one size fits all approach when it comes to entertainment just waters down everything. And made this movie feel long. Long as fu$k. The plot is good only if you know how to make it entertaining and to the point because the stupid movie comes off like it is several hours long. You even get sick of the action and just stop caring about the movie and the characters. Such a letdown. Anyone ranking this movie higher than a 7 is a liar.",3
"I kept waiting for this movie to have substance. Would the mismatched couple who find each other in a strange land connect on some meaningful level? Or would they find that the marriages they had were not so bad - that they had been expecting too much? Something. Instead, the only thing they really had was loneliness - in marriage and in a foreign country where they didn't know or understand the culture. So they found someone who feels roughly the same ... 90% of all in their situation, probably do. Of course two people from the same culture would connect when having a life crisis amidst strangers.

Although I appreciate the subtleties in the acting, the way Murray and Johansson communicate non-verbally, I didn't see many levels of understanding. What does he know about Ivy League and philosophy? Nothing. What does she know about being a middle aged, family man or acting? Do they have anything at all to talk about? Is life all about such unspoken connections or are those mostly illusions? I have been in similar situations several times and have come to realize that feelings of connectedness are natural but fade completely from memory and turn out to be silly mirages, later. The film would have done better to focus on how we imagine we've found someone special under such circumstances, but it's really just common humanity from a familiar country. Under any other circumstances, the relationship would fall like a house of cards. This ""story"" is really just a portrait of dissatisfaction, dislocation and drifting among travelers. So they felt like they found a life raft in a sea of emptiness. Most of us know better. The movie made way too much out of nothing, in my opinion. But the acting was very good, given the lack of script.

How I wish Americans (my people) would learn to study and appreciate other languages and cultures more, so that this mentality of looking for ways to avoid strange foreigners is not so common.",6
"It is terribly bad, so sad for Mr. G and Mr. M, they deserved better(as Holland himself). Disgustingly childish, stupid, idealistic and dreadfully poor on good ideas.",3
"If you have such wealth of acting at your disposal but reduce most of your cast to cameo appearances the story suffers. Some of the cameos were great to watch, they are the world's best known actors after all, but to me it was just a bit too much of everything and I lost interest when I lost count of all the characters, plots and subplots. I think I like it better when they focus on one or a few superheroes. High points of the movie: any scene with Tony Stark or Thor, but why use a star like Nathalie Portman when all she has to do is look pretty and walk around a bit, it makes you wonder whether these stars are short on money though. My grandson loved it though.",4
"Although AOT has many strengths such as interesting character development, beautiful art and a stable storyline, the whole series feels a bit off.

The story is so focused on ensuring that it's a tragedy that many things are just unrealistic, including loopholes in the plot when analysing further.

Some parts are rushed and some parts are very slow-paced, I skipped half of the second season and the third was best by far.

The 4th season took on a completely different aesthetic from the rest, you won't get to see more than 10 minutes of the main characters until something like episode 4. Although some may argue that it's vital for the storyline I'd argue that there should be a balance and introducing completely new characters is a dangerous game especially when they become main focus.

I know the animators had to follow the manga but still...just a bit disappointing.",6
"The acting of the actor's the only best part of this limited series. The reality of the storyline is lean because there is not much real inside of Elizabeth's madness, There is much madness about Elizabeth in the HBO documentary, rather than this series. Finally, Theranos of Elizabeth Holmes is a red mark for numerous new startup owners, many investors will rethink hundred times to invest.

The funny part is no one cared for the real product, people who cared where fires, quit and commit suicide.

Only goal was money being successful, being billionaire by this one single woman and her madness.

She ended being a mobster and control frike going to the extent that she did not care about anyone else.",7
"BARBIE is a great example of hype over substance. It is laugh out loud at times and Gosling steals every scene he's in. The art direction is on point. What makes it tiresome is THE MESSAGE pummelled into the audience, but then were we expecting any subtly? Probably not. Ultimately my wife just thought, 'I already know this. I don't need to hear it. But maybe some women do?' I get her point. In the end it felt like we were being sold Barbie Dolls as some kind of icon of feminism. But seriously, they are a very poor example of female role models. Not surprisingly Mattel was one of the producers.",6
"Bangladesh is NOT a violent country but a peace loving country. They don't have that kind of crime lords in that country and there is no violence over there as shown in the movie. I understand it's Hollywood but you can't misrepresent a country like that. It's NOT a fictional country like "" Wakanda "". You can't hurt peoples emotion and love for their country. You have to remember, Bangladesh is one of the biggest contributor of United Nations peacekeeping mission for a long time.

Ohh... I forgot... The movie... No... Not worth watching. No story, average action. If you like Steven Seagal or his movies ( i don't know if anybody does ) then you might like it. Just like Steven Seagal's movies, there's a lot of camera movement but not much of actual acting or action happening there. They just tried to make the scenes epic by moving their cameras like crazy instead of letting the actors actually act. Overall, if you are looking for a good or maybe OK movies, it's not a movie you want to watch.",1
". I am very familiar with the comics and find people who ""demand"" it to be just like the comics difficult to deal with because there are different versions and years of source material to accommodate. This Punisher seems to fit well into the TV universe that Marvel and Netflix have created. I found the characters engaging and the use of characters like Karen Page welcome. It has been my favorite of the non Daredevil shows. Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist all seemed lacking to me yet I did enjoy them. The Defenders was good but not Punisher good. This isn't for a younger audience but for adults this is a great narrative of a tragic vigilante that just wanted justice. Jon Bernthal was a perfect cast for this role.",7
"My wife and I love Sci-fi and have been anticipating this movie for months! When we saw the 9.3 review (that's what it is now anyway) we were even more excited. So, off we went to the theater last night ready to be blown away.

We almost left the movie, which would be a first.

OK, the special effects are great, but the sniveling factor we couldn't stomach. I'm mean seriously, there was someone bawling on the screen nearly 50% of the movie. Many of the lines were so cheesy we look at each other like, ""can you believe this?"" If you like sad drama's, depressing story lines and crying astronauts give it a go. This falls under SciFi, but it really should fall under drama. Ugh, I'm trying to forget it.",4

As if the forceful deposition of a tyrant works if executed by this rogue team, not a government, because they don't have to deal with the red tape. The US HAS organized coups in the past, and it ends up worse for the people in that nation. What was supposed to be a cool, empowering movie was nothing more than a convoluted mess of explosions, bodies flying, and Ryan Reynolds' one liners. Don't waste your two hours.",3
"I seriously wonder why this show has gotten 8+ rating. No offence to fans but it's such a cliche, typical formula series based on somewhat same story line as Marcella, Happy Valley etc. Angry policewomen, broken family, reckless actions, a dark theme.

"Good actors, doing their best with QTs overlong and embarrassing words. Folk waiting for their lines, doing their best with a mess of a story. Many reviews are along the lines of ""it's good, you just don't get it"", like some teenager explaining to his parents the joys of modern music. We do get it: Tarantino is indulged as he did some great early work; he must be defended. Sadly, the last few movies have been indulgent and overlong, and they get steadily worse.",2
Dont even waste even a second on this. It is dreadful.,1
"I had high hopes going into this given the reviews and ratings I'd seen. I was expecting jumps and scares....but they didn't really come.

There's was about five mins of gory which was a little shocking but it wasn't exactly ""scary"".

None of the characters are likeable, they all seem to dislike each other immensely for no reason that is ever explained and most of them have terrible hair which is distracting.

It felt like any other ""contacting the dead"" film, but there are many others done better which have jumps and scares.

It wasn't terrible but it wasn't good - it was all just a bit blah.

Skip it there are better films out there!",3
I am giving this series 6/10 because the story is somehow intriguing and there are good explanations of the technology behind the DEVS. Unfortunately the acting is not great at all and many characters are not at all convincing. The pace is also a bit slow for a story that could probably be told in 5 episodes tops.,6
"John Wick 4 is an insultingly misdirected piece of art that is chock full to the brim with overwrought and under energised action sequences. Casting the legendary Donnie Yen as a blind man that is sometimes blind and sometimes not blind is offensive and shows disrespect. The failure to properly address all the issues in the previous three films, in addition to confusing the structure and hierarchy of the high table leads to damaging the franchise as a whole. Keanu Reeves is appalling in this movie - his character does not have one interesting line of dialogue or emotion and his movements are slow and unrealistic. This whole world of John Wick needs to stop, the waters are too muddied and everybody looks tired.",2
Great acting by all the actors. Pankaj Tripathi is my all time favorite.,10
"I learned about this version of ""Daredevil"" after watching ""Iron Fist"" and speaking with a rep at Netflix about films of similar genre. He enthusiastically recommended ""Daredevil""; then Luke Cage as a follow up.

I have become totally absorbed with ""Daredevil"". Charlie Cox, that ever-handsome Brit is dynamite in this series. His costars are superb.

The culture of Sensai, Ninja and Samurai speak to my soul, as I have studied that culture. Never introduced to martial arts (Hey! I grew up in the 1950s!), I have been obsessed with addicted to martial arts. I have an inexplicable understanding of this pugilistic form, although I never was introduced to it physically. Some years ago, a colleague suggested I was a Ninja in another life. Perhaps! I am about to watch the end of Season 1 of ""Daredevil"" tonight. I find myself fully engaged and enthralled, at times allowing the intensity to ""shake me to my boots""!",9
"This story started with a great premise and great acting that hooked you in. The first few episodes were done quite well. Then it started to delve too much in to the supernatural and that's where the story went downhill. The pacing of the story was too slow then and the series could have done well with fewer episodes.

Watch the first few episodes and read about the rest on Wikipedia.",6

I know this is not supposed to be the average war movie where you root for the protagonists but more of a ""documentary"" take on the genre, and I appreciate the intention, but in the end it often felt a little too repetitive and not as special as I expected it to be. Sure, there are a few memorable scenes, expecially in the beginning, but from then on there are very few surprises. The soundtrack was unexpectedly annoying most of the time.",7
"They focused so much on politically correctness, that they forgot about making a good film.",1
"One of the most disappointing films of this year. A mind-numbingly tiresome entry in Sony's Spider-Man Universe. I can't figure out what is happening in this dumb-but-not-good-dumb sequel for a much superior predecessor. The big mistake they made was the shortening of the runtime to just 97 minutes, resulting in a jumbled mess of editing scrape.

Annoying scene transitions, an uneven storytelling, lazy and unconvincing performance by a talented cast and poorly written unfunny dialogues that made me cringe. Andy Serkis needs to take a break from direction. He's not suitable for this job. If he was an able director, he won't turn this film into a trashy nothingness.",1
"I would write a detailed review of this movie, but I can sum it up in one word - over-hyped. A rip-off of Shyamalan's awful movie, The Happening, only with blindfolds. If you value your time, don't waste it on this.",2
"I liked the first movie Kung Fu Panda (2008) which was one of DreamWorks's best movies, with its great voice acting, well-done 3D animation, fun action, and likable characters; with the sequel you hope it is as good or better than the first movie, and after watching it, you can say that it is a great sequel that expands on the world it built in the first movie and dives more into the main character's backstory. The sequel Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011) is as good if not better than the first movie, with great character development of the main character, fun action, great 3D animation, a threatening villain, and great voice acting; this movie makes the main character Po more interesting with where he came from, and makes the backstory connects to the villain in some great way that is investing to watch.

Jack Black is once again great as the character Po, with him getting a very interesting backstory that connects to the main villain that he is learning throughout the movie, and having character development when it comes to accepting it and finding inner peace; he was funny, interesting, and cool to watch now used to being in the Dragon Warrior role but also learning new things. The group the Furious Five once Tigress, Monkey, Viper, Crane, and Mantis played great again by Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu, David Cross, and Seth Rogen going on the journey with Po to stop the villain, with there being lots of scenes where they work great together as a team in lots of big action sequences; there are also great moments between Po and Tigress with many interactions between them as friends. Lastly, you have some nice appearances of Shifu again voiced by Dustin Hoffman, telling Po about inner peace and how he can you use it to his advantage and just overall how to keep being the Dragon Warrior.

The villain Shen voiced great by Gary Oldman was an intimidating but funny villain that has an interesting backstory to him on why he is trying to take over China, and he has some kind of connection to Po's backstory and where he came from, making a great hero villain dynamic between them when they are both in the same scene interacting off each other. The action sequences are fun, fast paced, and cool to watch with the great 3D animation that gets you invested in what is happening and great visuals, along with the many details on the characters and the pretty looking backgrounds/locations; though the movie is very funny to watch, the movie has quite a few emotional/heartfelt moments that are well-done and can make you tear up when watching.

The sequel Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011) was a worthy second movie to the first, making this movie good if not better than the first movie, because of the great voice acting, well-done character development, a great villain, fun action sequences, nice looking 3D animation, and an interesting way to flesh out the Po character by giving him an interesting backstory; if you liked the first Kung Fu Panda (2008), then you will have a great time with this sequel. Lastly, DreamWorks made a great sequel to an already great first movie, which leads to the third movie; I am going to remember this movie and want to watch it repeatedly like the first.",8
"I was very excited to watch this show and yes I played the game. It's not about following plot it's more about the character development....we can't empathize, mostly it's expensive effects and living through game's fame... too pretencious I guess! Most of the episode I scrolled my phone so yess...boring. It's a shame they made a big deal out of it and it's still crappy...Relationship of main characters is too unrealistic and cold; we could care less what happens next. Also, it'a not an easy task to make a great show out of video game, but I would give it a 6/10 because of the game sequel (also not a perfect one but still better than the show; maybe it's difficult to compare it).",6
"I love this franchise, Tobey is such a great Spidey!",8
"Amsterdam sticks to its title about halfway through, and had it somehow found a way to stay on that track, it would probably have been one of the strongest movies this year. Unfortunately, right about there it hastily switches to a new plot that abandons the characters and just wants to create its own haphazard version of a disputed and forgotten part of American history. None of that ever works, just clunkers on with apparent disinterest from the people tasked to deliver it. The story that came before was just much more fun.

As expected, acting is all fine. Christian Bale especially gives a notable performance. However, the amount of recognizable talent showing up without much to do or anywhere to go is ultimately distracting. At least they knew what to do with Taylor Swift, and something similar should have been in mind for the rest of needlessly drafted big names.",4
"Robert Zemeckis likes special effects. In ""Who framed Roger Rabbit"" (1988) he combines real actors with animation. In ""Forrest Gump"" he combines real actors with archive material.

""Forrest gump"" gives an overview of American history in the period 1950 - 1985. It does so by following the life of the simpleton Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks), who miraculously is present by al the major events of this period and meets with a couple of presidents.

The combination of a simpleton and world history is also the essence of ""Being there"" (1979, Hal Ashby). All the same, ""Being there"" is very different from ""Forrest gump"". In ""being there"" the simpleton influences world history, in ""Forrest gump"" he merely reflects it.",7
"This is not right way to say bangla accent, The director should have taken BD actor for the Bangla Acting.and The BD army as shown in this movie they are not like that. also BD is not like Afghan and syria as well as bangla spelling was wrong on the CNG and Coronel name. Finally this film did not shoot in Dhaka city most of the view outside of Dhaka. Overall we got Bad experience.",2
"The trailers made it seem like this would be good. But then trailers can be teasing and very misleading (i dont know why but Raees comes to mind when i say that). well these trailers were not. the actual thing was as good, if not better. the plot should keep you on the edge as a mumbai cop wades through murky waters trying to get to the bottom of the '25 day' countdown riddle. each episode shows the countdown with how many more days are left till the all of mumbai is destroyed. there is a terrorist plot and politicians are part of them. there are dirty cops protecting the politicians and trying to impede the die-hard cop. there are bent pundits out to incite riots. so there is a good range of controversial element. i thought, it deals a bit with sexuality too with gaitonde falling for a glamour 'girl' and then settling on a far plainer woman. i just hope it continues. i have not read the novel, so i dont know if the end of the first season is where the novel ends too. it would be a pity if it did. but saif ali khan has indicated that there is indeed a second season. oh, and i thought he kicked ass. i mean, i know nawazuddin can kill his role but saif really kicked ass. radhika apte was good too. nothing to complain about the performances. this was as good as any other top rated netflix original, not just good as an indian production. pretty damn good. one of the episodes stereotypes bangladesh negatively. despite being a proud bangladeshi, i thought this should be seen just as it is -- a badass production which is all fiction. must see. by the way, there is a lot of swearing. its local cops, mobsters, thugs and politicians going at each other. what do you expect? violence is part and parcel. several explicit sex scenes. and of course content is very much adult. in other words, schoolchildren should not be anywhere near it. have fun then!",9
"There was something about the kind of humor in this movie I didn't like. It was too much, not that funny and it felt a bit forced. It was was too corny I think. Especially Michael Douglas played too comical.

Evangeline Lilly is pretty hot, but I'm afraid that's all she has. No real acting skills on her part which made her contribution to this movie meaningless. Another empty Hollywood production, a waste of production money.. I honestly dislike the quality of today's filmmaking. Why don't the so called executive producers start with an well written script instead of this cheap shallow bs. Just turn your brain off and watch this movie, you'll survive. And one day.. one day good movies will return.. one day..",4
"I have seen too many products with someone who has multiple personalities and they manifest into the primary character and they are never done well. Too bad, I really like Oscar Isaac.",4
"Stranger Things is a adventure , action , and sci-fie series. The series was directed by the Duffer brothers. The cast is really good , the principal actors are teenagers , they are Finn Wolfhard , Noah Schnapp , Caleb Mclaughling ,Gaten Matarazzo , Millie bobby brown and Sadie sink. The story talks about a kid will played by N.Schnapp who eaten by a monster , the Demogorgon. With his friend and his friends and family they must find him. I think is the best series because the story is so captivating , the visual effects and the costumes are very good . When you watch the series you should watch all the episodes.",9
"Movie night with Iris. Spielberg's Ready Player One nerdfest. It is so full of pop culture references, that it does eventually sag under the weight of its own nostalgia. There are some joys - the 80s pop, Atari games, the Iron Giant; and a fairground ride through The Shining.

So you have 2-3 breathtaking set pieces, but not a lot to join it all together. The satirical stabs don't really land. Indeed Spielberg pulls his punches whenever the storytelling becomes too disturbing.",5
This is a refreshing unique take on human obsessions in the 21st century and how it damages us to a degree . I like the different aspects of how we are shown and in a way warned about our current obsession with technology so take heed of warning to your own use of out so called necessities of today's digital world .,9
"Easily the best horror movie that has been released over the last few years. It immediately grabs your attention from the get go, right until the credits are shown.

Having watched RackaRacka's videos on YouTube as a kid, seeing that they directed a horror movie had me interested instantly and they did not disappoint.

From beginning to end, the movie leaves you completely gripped and on the edge of your seat. You become fully immersed in the story being unraveled and all the twists that are thrown in the mix.

My only complaint is that the ending felt rushed and a lot of questions are left unanswered. However this may be intentional and leaving room for a second movie to tie up all of those loose ends, which I would be happy to see.

I can wholeheartedly say this was the first horror in years that left me with strong uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach.",8
Personally Chris is my fav actor. But this movie is bad. Story line was poor. Acting is great but overall this movie is bad.,1
"The powers that be really ruined this film. The first hour is nothing but agendas. Becomes a bit of fun after the first hour, and you get pale shades of the original, still; you will have to throw all plausibility out the window. Unfortunately, the whole time I was watching this I couldn't escape the thought that this script is really beneath: Hudson, Craig, and Janelle. As much as it pains me to say it because I'm really, really, really not a fan, but this monstrosity could of really used Jamie Leigh Curtis. I don't know does no one know how to right a script anymore unless there's a super hero involved?",4
The first one was bad but the second one was even worst. You don't care about the story and the characters. The film is quite short and they speed everything up in the script but the result is that you don't connect with any characters or any plot.,1
"Sameer lodaya

The movie has good content but has been presented in unpolished way

A lot could had been done here as the makers had good plot and mr Bachchan with them..The makers should had focused a little more on the game rather than fights ,passport issues,family dramas etc..hard hitting dialogues, strong emotional scenes ,songs were missing..the had mr Bachchan in lead but they could not take out the best from him..unrealistic love story was not required.

The movie has good sole and should be seen.",5
"It's just watchable, nothing else.... probably (for sure) i wouldn't have watched this if i didn't have oscar isaac it's an ok series, but terribly cliche and predictable oscar shines in everything so the 7 is basically because of him and so far (until now) they haven't put political garbage in the series.",7
"I was really looking forward to this show as the trailer kind of gave me this sort of modern day X-men school vibe. But I couldn't have been more wrong. So far I'm only four episodes in but this show is an absolute snooze. It continuously tries to be edgy, deep or as someone else here called it, ""trying to be cool when it's really not"". Halfway through and there isn't ONE storyline that's even remotely interesting. Everything feels kind of been there done that and there's absolutely nothing original or interesting going on. The characters are all kind of bland as well. Ellen Page (who I usually love despite the fact that she usually plays the same roles) adds absolutely nothing to the story so far. And all the other characters were written so that they all seem wacky, deep and intense at the same time. But it just doesn't work... So far there is not a single character I'm invested in, or storyline for that matter. I'm not quite sure why that is because on paper it would all sound really good. There's this one scene which I figured was supposed to be a romantic scene, but I really only realized that through the background music which was a romantic violin tune. There's no chemistry whatsoever! I guess the only good thing I can really say about this show is that it's special effects look pretty good for a tv show. But that alone will not be enough for whatever the second half has in store for us. I might finish this season if I ever get seriously bored but honestly I've only been sitting through the first 5 eps because part of me really wants to like this show and I keep holding on for something to 'grab' me. But it's just not happening at all. I doubt this show will get renewed for a second (or maybe third) season because it looks kind or expensive and it's not bringing the hype they probably expected.

And another thing. I cannot for the life of me understand where all these glorious reviews come from. I mean an 8.8? That has to be a joke, right? The show is too NOT mainstream for your average viewer to love that much.. And it's just too bad for the die hard Netflix binge watch expert to appreciate. The only explanation I have for these high reviews is marketing. As in payed reviewers or just people from the production company. It's a super sad fact that these things actually happen and it just discredits the whole show IMHO. If it's good.. The people will tell you it's good.. By writing fake, great reviews you'll only come off as trying to make something work that just doesn't. Which is exactly how I would describe this show; trying way too hard to be something that it's absolutely not.",5
"Netflix brings another action movie to streaming. Unfortunately, all the movie brought to the table was action scenes. Stunt coordination, close quarter combat scenes and the cinematography for the action scenes were all solid. Even the acting was fairly good. However a lack of adequate backstory for the main character leaves the overall feel of the movie as ""meh."" If you are looking just to watch a series of action scenes strung together then you will truly like this movie.",6
"Gratuitous sex and violence abound. No compelling characters. Iffy CGI. If the original Game of Thrones rates a 10, this is certainly a 6. I will watch the second episode, but if the low quality of the pilot continues, I won't watch any more. It is very difficult to make a prequel or sequel to an outstanding original concept. So far, the producers and directors have failed here. I sincerely hope George R. R. Martin isn't involved. This breech birth isn't worthy of his talents. UPDATE: After watching episodes 2 and 3, I dropped my rating from 6 to 3. Acting is poor, dialog is forced, violence is gratuitous, and the characters are shallow and unmemorable. I won't waste any more time on this turkey.",3
"A satire of the sharpest proportion, and a central relationship that is hard not to love.",7
"While the story is interesting (regardless if it's a real life one or not) as well as the message it conveys, the movie seems to be a bit lost in how it wants to go with the narrative.

An all star cast, including the amazing Christian Bale that doesn't seem capable of a bad performance, are part of the unsuspecting characters that find themselves in a huge conspiracy that runs way deeper than they initially think. The story starts interesting, the pace is fast and with a mix of dark humor, however that pace and narrative doesn't seem consistent throughout the film.

There are several flashbacks that serve to provide some context for the main character's relationships that seem to stall the story a little bit and as the first flashback appears, the storytelling becomes slightly more erratic.

It's hard to grasp if from that point on the film gets more serious or it wanted to keep its quirkiness the truth is it just becomes odd. If they would focus more on the mystery aspect rather than the weird character behaviors I would probably would've enjoyed it more, it's still interesting and the message couldn't be more valid given the current political reality of many countries, but Christian Bale wasn't enough to make it great.",7
"Terrible film quality, like an old movie made in soft focus. Cheap Tom Cruise probably said, while saving the cost of good digital imaging, ""It is authentic to the era"". Dumb, overblown story not even near factual, done for the sake of making money, not telling an important story about a real person. The drug war at the time was not a comedy, but Cruise did his best to make it a comedy. The entire film was laughable in its lack of credibility and overblown Hollywood stupidity. It was obviously made for action film-loving teens and other dumb Cruise fans to satisfy their need for a Tom fix, not to make a credible and realistic story. Ugh.

Disclaimer: my kid dragged me to see this crap that cost me 2 hours of my life",2
"Some really good special effects, the 3D really works well in this picture.

But the drama:action ratio was awful. You never get to feel with the characters in the movie, you simply don't care. There is some exciting and suspense scenes but they quiet scene in between are too long and slow. Mainly cause you just don't care about Sandra background, she lost a child blah blah blah its just so damn mainstream typical ""filling"" in these drama.

3/10 1 for effects 1 for originality (its like a submarine movie, but in space) and 1 for well trained thighs.",3
"It tries to be like the boys but fails at everything what made it great.

Spoiler alert its not giant d!cks with ""hee hee"" humor.

Characters are annoying and its messy with the execution of who is the lead lead. No substance in their storylines and they are forgettable. After 8 episodes there is not one name that i remember.

Thats the main issue. It wants to be ""The Boyz"" sooooo bad but feels like a cheap copy without the finesse which made the original great.

For the showrunners: I wasted nearly 8 hours.

Please dont interconnect it with the boys. I will definitely not watch season 2.

2 Stars for gore.",2
Watching this crap made me want to watch all three John Wick films. This is a try hard version shiny bad film. Netflix wasted $150m on this?,1
"The starting of the show might have been a little..... you know.... so many people stop watching after 8 or 10 episodes but let me just say that's a huge mistake. You will get absolutely hooked to the show and won't be able to stop watching even though you may have to endure some rough patches up to end of Season 3.

Each season gets bigger and grander. If you line it's timeline up to the MCU then you'll see that this show got the most grandest storylines out of all the 3 phases, of course excluding Doctor Strange, Infinity War, and Endgame but other than those 3 movies, this show already did everything the movies did even before the movies got a chance to do it.

All the seasons have compelling storylines and great writing even though it's cheesy sometimes. The action sequences are great and amazingly done. After Season 3 the show takes a completely different direction and gets the biggest and most amazing storylines I've ever seen in TV. The CGI and VFX is also pretty great considering the budget this show had.

All things considered, you'll only like the show if you go in open-minded and ready to form your OWN opinion rather than listening to the people saying the show is bad. If you do get through the early seasons then you'll know why so many people say it's amazing.",10
No where near as good as the first 5. This is just not a good movie. It has some great action but the plot lines are just stupid. It tries to hard to be to many things.,6
"""The Umbrella Academy"" is a superhero series based on the comic book series of the same name. The show features a unique and captivating story, full of action, suspense, and humor. The characters are well-developed and likable, each with their own quirks and abilities that make them stand out. The special effects, production design, and soundtrack are top-notch and add to the overall appeal of the show. However, at times the plot can feel a bit convoluted and rushed, with certain events happening too quickly and without enough explanation. Additionally, some of the subplots can feel disconnected from the main story, which can be distracting for viewers. Despite these shortcomings, ""The Umbrella Academy"" is an enjoyable and visually stunning show that is definitely worth a watch for fans of superhero and comic book adaptations.",9
"There is no new trope on a mob story here. It's all telegraphed and predictable.

If you're into politics you get a nice historical visual...

This very high rating is merely the hagiography of well versed genre characters not too dissimilar from fanboys cheering on another bad film franchise sequel.

Nobody should be able to get away with over 3 hours of film making, it shouldn't matter if you have 36 Oscars on the shelf, consumers have been long conditioned by a format of story telling that needs things resolved in half the time. Producers are being as undisciplined and vain as Hoffa by refusing these facts.

Drawn out sequences to illustrate the moral tale is tedious. We know that evil doesn't prosper in life and art. We know that young men become old and we know that families are collateral damage which was a fairly unexplored opportunity which writers didn't do well with.

Ironic that DeNiro has become a bit of an activist himself later in life, there's nothing more belittling than a privileged actor telling us how to think.

One nice observation from the film is how easily trade unions are corrupted from within, all around the western world. They do not have the same checks and balances that state and federal governments have, watching this on the big screen was an educative silver lining.",5
"Pros: Gerald and Siri casting. Dandilion was pretty good, as was Vesimir.

So-so: The CGI (critical component) is hit and miss.

Cons:. Woke casting really detracts from the medieval Europe setting.

Season 1 concentrates fer too heavily on the sorceresses. Season 2 is what I expected the story to start with. The Jen backstory could have been flashbacks rather than several dedicated episodes.

Overall, this should have been a far more impressive production. It sold itself as Game of Thrones but delivered Zena Warrior Princess.",5
"Good fight scenes, thats just the only good thing about this move. A very bland plot just like EndGame. Overall, don't waste your time on this one.",5
"I love fantasy and unfortunately when a fantasy stories are taken on screen, 90% of the time they are disappointing. The witcher is not an exception. Henry isn't able to save a confusing plot and a rookie direction.

Good luck!",4
"I'm a massive DC fan and love all the movie inspired by Zack Snyder's universe. For me this didn't have the same DNA the other movies have and felt more like a Marvel fun family movie then a kickass dark DC movie.

Don't get me wrong this is a good watch and the younger generation will enjoy it but I was expecting more.

It has a cool story and some wicked references to the other DC movies, I was impressed with Zachary Levi as Shazam he looked the part and was funny, it has some cool action scenes but I'd of preferred them to stay on the same path as the other DC movies are on and been a bit more darker aimed at the adults not the kids.",6
"That was worse than I expected. If your going to make a pointless, plotless movie that's an homage to the late 60's Hollywood movies and TV, fine. Make that. But what was the point of the whole Manson stuff? It was just stupid and the ending was just dumb. As the title says, that's three hours I'll never get back.",3
"Its a mystery and a soap opera in a technological innovation setting. OK, along the way really not new ideas emerge for those who are ignorant about the historical intersections of philosophy, religion, and science. If you are the type who describes reveals in melodramas like Westworld or Lost or The Circle as ""mind-bending"" this is probably just what you want. However, there is nothing remotely very cerebral about this production.",5
"Cinematography is something else. Good acting, great Henry but it does not faze me in terms of the final edit. The monsters are cheap too. But, the show is entertaining nevertheless.",3
I felt compelled to create an account just to write this review. Over all I've really enjoyed the show and the premises. Some of the visuals are stunning and paired with an ominous sound track that keeps you wanting more. However the lead actress is my only major complaint. She truly is terrible for the part. I don't like coming off as mean but it really does ruin what could have been a great series. The lack of emotion or acting on her part really drives the show down and doesn't allow you to get emotionally invested. Everyone else from small roles such as the doorway bum to the devs employees are fantastic. I've seen shows such as wayward pines switch lead actors/actresses with the new season and that is something they definitely should consider with this series for future seasons.,6
"I am not a fan of commercial Hindi cinema. Having said that, I have to say that really liked Dil Se. Mani Rathnam tries to deviate from the norm and try to attempt a story that at once captivates and disturbs. Understated nuanced acting, not valued by most Indian actors, is the norm in this movie. The images are haunting, the sensibilities are delicate and the scenery breathtaking. If you plan to see only one Hindi film that you plan to see, this should be it. Having said that, Rathnam fails in his attempt to placate the average moviegoer of India by stuffing the movie with 5 (beautifully choreographed and well-recorded) songs that jarres the narrative. Also at least at one occasion (immediately after Amarkanth Varma witnesses Meghna's outbreak right before the storm) the editing is crude and sticks like an afterthought. Manisha Koirala could well be the successor to Shabana Azmi if she chooses her roles well. Shahrukh khan is refreshing in this departure from his regular song and dance routine.",8
"Being extracted from watching this movie is the only extraction I would have enjoyed. It is terrible. Just terrible. But, then again maybe I'm not the target audience. The only successful thing about this movie was the suppression of the story, which was smothered by the flimsy plot and wooden acting. A film only for the die hard 'gun and violence' frantic action fans!",2
"After two seasons and a couple of ep, this show has downgraded significantly. The characters, story-telling and overall entertainment value just arent there anymore. Its missing something, perhaps a couple of things.

I was lookin forward to this third season because the first two were decently built up. But now, I almost lost all interest. I will endure the remaining episodes simply because I like to finish what I started.

Its a shame Henry will not be part of the show anymore. Talk about squandering a good thing. He was the only reason I kept watching. The rest of the crew leaves much to be desired and the storytelling isnt helping at all. Perhaps there will be major changes for the better but replacing Henry is not one of them.",5
In The Trailer it looks Amazing but In the 1st Episode It doesn't look that Good. But I Hope So it will be fix by some time..................................,7
"Overall the movie was spectacular with a very strong action and comedy presence that highlighted Eddie's and Venoms relationship that was a main staple of the movie as it carried throughout the film. It did a very good job of leaving off where the last one ended and expanding their story while also allowing supporting characters to grow as well. The length of the movie clocked in around 90 minute's which is quite short for movies today however it felt much longer and I mean that in a good way, all the screen time was well used and every second helped project the movie forward without expanding un-useful plot points like it predecessor. In the end I would give the movie a 7.5 out of 10. I would of given it more however it lacked a certain elements that propel movies like these, as the main foes did not set a good standing for their fight but overall badass movie, if I were to include the end credit the movie is a solid 100000000000000000000/10. No spoiler's though.",8
"Had expectations aft seeing the trailer but it all fizzled once the movie started playing. It has a ridiculous story, tension n character development is nada. I am totally surprised that inspite of this film being backed by Netflix, with amazing star cast, it lacked the substance. The hand to hand combat with the knife is not thrilling. For the real deal (silat fighting) check out The Raid Redemption. As a fan of Randeep Hooda, I am happy that he got a good role. The babe is attractive. The hint near the swimming pool at the end is again a big meh with the possible of a sequel. Now that will be too much for a guy to survive with bullets pierced all over.",6
Being a reflection of true events makes this series event more upsetting. And shows how corrupt the communists are.,9
"I had huge expectations for this film reading all its glowing reviews. And yet even before it started and the menu fired up, alarm bells were going off. Explosions left right and centre, great CGI.....all suggested a lack of substance. For the first 20 minutes, I couldn't believe just how bad this film was. Drop the viewer into a complete state of confusion to look good?.....except that this is always a risky strategy, one which a only few films have eloquently pulled off, the nearest comparable being The Matrix, which this most certainly isn't- although it tries so hard to be in terms of style and delivery. Yes the CGI and special effects are at times breathtaking. It's just such a shame that the storyline was utterly ridiculous, disjointed, confusing dispassionate and so very, very boring. Great effects DO NOT make for a great film necessarily. A note on casting. Like the film, this is truly awful....what on earth was Leonardo Di Caprio thinking?! My wife totally embraced the subject matter- she fell asleep and the only thing stopping me from dozing off was the desperate hope that that this film would improve. It didn't. Inception completely encapsulates all the worst in Hollywood. Utter rubbish.",2
Great action. Good storyline. However I feel like the entire show is shot in the dark. Why not just show a black screen with audio.,8
"Although the Avengers have managed to thwart several attempts by criminal organizations to wreak havoc upon the world, a newer problem has emerged which concerns the incredible damage done in those areas where the battles have occurred. So in order to address this issue the United Nations comes up with a plan to place the Avengers under the strict control of a special multinational panel. Unfortunately, this idea doesn't please all of the Avengers and as a result half of them decide to follow ""Captain America"" (Chris Evans) and leave the group while those that remain agree with ""Iron Man"" (Robert Downey Jr.) to accept U.N. authority over them. Unfortunately, things become much more intense when Captain America and his allies do battle with a criminal mastermind and thereby not only break the U.N. mandate but also force the remaining Avengers to attempt to apprehend them so that they can be tried and punished for their actions. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film definitely had its share of action from start-to-finish with a multitude of superheroes sharing the big screen. To that effect, while I liked the addition of ""Spider-Man"" (Tom Holland) and ""Ant-Man"" (Paul Rudd) I must admit that the abundance of characters became a bit too much at times. Having said that, however, I still enjoyed this picture for the most part and I have rated it accordingly. Above average.",7
"This is a good mystery and one that will keep you wondering ""who dunnit"" right up to the end. Plenty of thick rich story to keep you intrigued in a movie which is over 2 and a half hours long. A good movie to kill time whilst keeping you intrigued right to the end.",6
"Season 3 was a temporary (explained later) departure from the style of the first two seasons.

Season 3 essentially inverted the 'plot lines' of the previous 2 years. In Season 3, the writers chose to explore the social life and personalities of Sherlock and Watson outside the main story line of criminal investigations. Restrained helpings of detecting villains were served up as side dishes.

This departure took some courage on the part of the writers and BBC. They would be fully aware of the reaction of the market demographic who adhere to the 'Don't Make Me Think' paradigm and prefer factory made, formula instalments year after year.

A good deal of credit also goes to both Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman for not becoming the typical self important Hollywood style twits. Their sojourn into Stat Trek and the Hobbit has refined their remarkable skills as actors. To see what I mean, turn the sound off and play the last chapter of Episode 3. It is easier to believe that that chapter is an excerpt from a documentary rather than actors acting.

While so much time and effort went into revealing the personalities of Homes and Watson, criminal investigations were not totally sacrificed. Charles Augustus Magnussen, acted so capably by Lars Mikkelsen, was perhaps the most evil character I have seen on the movies. Unlike Moriarty who resorted to the traditional thugs, guns, bombs, and other conventional forms of mayhem, Magnussen was an emotional and psychological sadist whose greatest pleasure was in grievously humiliating his victims. Those scars run deep and never heal. Lars Mikkelsen delivered a chilling and dire performance of this truly appalling individual.

Spoiler alert: the final scene of the season shows shows that maniac Moriarty with an ""Miss Me' tag. For me, that signals a return to the story lines of Seasons 1 & 2.",8
N this is the best episode of all time the history of the world this is so interesting political conflicts,10
"The story moved very slowly. A lot of nothing happened and I'm thinking that they could have used more from the books to fill in all of that empty space. Production values were outstanding and the atmosphere was palpable. So yeah, visually it's lovely to look at but in actuality, it's moving much slower than the book when it doesn't need to. They could have done so much more than they did. Not holding my breath for season 2.",5
"Why watch a flick about the one superhero possibly ridiculouser than Superman if you are over 10 years old and not a masochist? I did precisely because I hoped to get the fun parts of the genre, instead of the borefests and would-be-dramas we are sold 90% of the time.

Well, I did get some. This Corpollywood product fits the mold of ""not-great with a couple of newish, entertaining scenes that can stick."" Here, they are comedy parts.

What went wrong:
Main one first: hero and villain with similar powers. This trope is so common and so dull, I figure all has been written, said and yodeled about it already.
The teen is all serious, his adult version childish and goofy, often acting like a drag queen or a dolt or a toon or je-ne-sais-quoi. Not the same guy. Not such a big deal, but grating.


What went well:


One last thing: This isn't a movie for 10 years old kids, despite being Shazam. The first 30 minutes are too seriously violent. Oddly.",5
"I like J.K. Simmons, especially for during his Spider-man years - I think he's all the more deserving of that Oscar for being underrated for so long (still hope Edward Norton gets his pretty soon.)

And I love jazz, and I love all sorts of genres of music; as long as I hear a good talented song, whatever it is, I i like it. Though I draw the line at heavy metal.

I just watched this film just to see what all the hype was about - saw on people's review videos, from film critics, from Best Movies of 2014 lists, etc. But I'm a Christian, and I prefer more the wholesome, family-esc, morally strong, uplifting, and feel-good movies that are just enjoyable to the general audience. and I'm not a fan of violence or profanity, nore do I find them the least bit entertaining.

Overall, I just think this film is quite unrealistic; a teacher bullying his students, especially in music classes, in New York. I just honestly don't think that would happen - I don't think I have any friends who practice any of the drums have a teacher even remotely close to that of Flecther.

(Though it's almost ironic how Simmons - the actor I like - played the antagonist, while Miles Teller - an actor I almost don't like - played the protagonist.

In the end, I give this film a a solid ""6"" simply for Simmons keeping me on the edge of my seat.

How this has only a 7 is beyond me literally the greatest hero movie I've seen. Any kid that watches this movie would learn what it means to be a hero.,10
"If you are into real Bollywood thrillers with realistic action, great script and great acting, then 'FAN' is for you. It is not a typical Bollywood movie, no songs, no cheap action scenes. It is up to the international level. As a global star SRK made the right choice, his acting in the movie is more and more comparable to great international stars and the director Maneesh sharma has done a marvelous job. Maneesh has done some fantastic movies previously like 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha', 'Band Baaja Baaraat' but 'FAN' will be his crown jewel. Give it a try and enjoy the one of a kind movie (may be only one of few good Bollywood movies). P.S -- After watching the movie and comparing some of recent Bollywood movies, I just felt, SRK you may be one and only global star in the Bollywood film industry.",9
...Rohr would know the words to any Rush song. He was likely at least 38 years old when Tom Sawyer came out. Probably graduated high school around 1957. Go ask any 75-year-old today to sing Rush lyrics. They can't do it. I call b.s.,1
"According to the plot, it simply does not exist, 1.5 hours of massacre and corpses. Didn't check it out. Actors are good but the movie is game. Fights and fights and fights....what's the point? This hasn't been filmed for a long time... what else can I say... the head of the table is simply ridiculous.... who chose the head of the clan.... well, it's not at all... Marquis Vincent? It doesn't play at all .... it would be better if they did a comedy .. The only phrase was something like ""I am a Note"")) Keanu is a pity, they made it some kind of Looser in the film ... constantly snatches .... constantly substituted .... and they don't take bullets ... and an endless magazine of cartridges .... and a sword fight against guns at the very beginning is generally trash .... spoiled the film with endless slaughter .... the first and second films were a top but the 4th is like a game where you need to wet everyone ... about nothing at all ...",2
"There were parts of this movie that will forever stick with me. I made sure not to read too much about this because I heard it was a solid original idea and I wanted to see it fresh. At first, I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about it, as I found myself zoning out during the initial lead in.

That all changed the moment the first character held the hand. I was immediately pulled into the story and the concept. It had a few scenes that felt a little unnecessary, especially when that scene is presented as giving you an answer just to be told that the answer you were given wasn't true just a few scenes later. If a scene does absolutely nothing to build or progress any aspect of the movie, then it probably isn't needed. But those scenes where very few and far between, and were filmed well enough that it didn't feel like it stopped the flow of the movie.

The story and the mythos it built were original and fun. I was fully into every moment the hand came out, and loved the story created by the after-effects of the hand. And the very last scene was just perfect.

I did find myself not really caring about any of the characters. It wasn't the actors at all, the actors were all actually really great, but it was just the characters themselves. I believed every moment the actors presented, but at no point did I care if a character lived or died. But that is most likely because everything bad that happened to a character happened because of said character, and they wanted to focus more on the story than try to build up a whole flawed hero narrative that wasn't really necessary. The one attempt at building a flawed hero narrative fell flat for me, so I am kind of glad they didn't spend any more time on it.

A very solid 8, and I was really bouncing between an 8 or a 9 until I came to that realization that I didn't care about the fate of the main characters. But still, great horror movie.",8
"I don't understand the hype. It's a good movie but it's about a real musician plays an non-musician in the movie but then becomes a musician, and then suddenly life is good and life is all ""ducks in a row"". I do need to say though, that of all the movies like this, this is the best of them all. But it's not original. The acting was good. Gaga does well and Cooper is a seasoned actor. A Star Is Born won't blow your mind but you can see the work that's been put in to make this movie which makes it not a bad watch.",5
"It pains me to see this shoot to the top of the best ever films. Yes, I'm well aware that as time goes on this film will find a more deserving place in these tables... but averaging 9.4, even now?

This is by no means a bad film. It was mediocre and far, far too long. A neat ending point could have occurred around 1.5 hours in and I, and most of the theatre from what I heard afterwards, were a little bemused as to how the sparse plot managed to be dragged on for so long. Had this film been appropriately cut, I believe I would have actively enjoyed it.

Heath Ledger(RIP) was by far the shining star in this film. His performance as The Joker is spot on: deeply sinister and almost nauseating at times, yet very funny at the right moments. Caine and Oldman are, as always, perfectly engaging. Bale, as much as I admire his other performances, really didn't seem up to scratch in this film as the caped crusader: he seemed far too much of a caricature. As Wayne, he was better.

When it comes down to it, performances aside, this is an action film with minimal plot and little else to speak of that drags on almost endlessly. See it if you're bored- otherwise I wouldn't bother. Certainly don't expect a comparable follow up to 'Batman Begins'.",5
"First of all if you don't want to read a review from a 12 year old girl don't read it.

Forrest Gump touched my heart dearly when i first watched it after 8 years. It made me understand about what happened back in the 70's- 90's and it amazed me. Mostly i loved Forrest, Lt. Dan,and Buba(although he's was in the movie for a short time). I'll list why i like each of these characters

Forrest: He reminds me of my Mildly Autisic brother and reminds me of the kids i go to Special ED. with. He is a confused man and he narrates the story very well. He makes me laugh and cry with some of his stories of what he dealt in his life.

Lt. Dan: He just grew on me when i first saw him and also his lack of belief in Jesus and i feel it too since i hate going to CCD. Not a very good reason

Buba: When i first saw him on the army bus he made me smile also not a good reason.

Other than that i give this movie 7 out of 10 stars for a great imaginative movie",7
"Do not watch this movie unless you really want to, it is a waste of time. If you like action or movies like that, this movie is not for you. This movie could have easily been condensed into 2 hours and it would've been 10 times better. I will say however, the acting was fantastic and it really showed the mentality of a mobster. Another fantastic aspect of this movie is the CGI. Some of the best CGI on screen ever, you couldn't tell that the faces were de-aged, and for a movie that's three and a half hours long, round of applause for the effects studio. Other than that, don't watch this movie unless you really want to, there are plenty of other movies like this one.",4
"The first season was not that good in my opinion and it felt too rushed through the stories and it didn't leave me with any emotions. The last scene of season 1 was suppose to leave me with strong emotions but it didn't. Yet I gave it a 8/10 when it deserved 7/10 or less because I knew this show had the potential of being a greater show than any other because I played the game and it is until now the best video game I have ever played.

Given that I have played the game I already knew most of the things that are going to happen and still do. Hence, some great plot twist moments didn't surprise me but yet I adored seeing it on screen and I was repeating inside my mind what is going to happen through the entire seires and it still was great and fun to watch.

Every episode in season 2 takes it's time to explore every story, it may not be filled with all of these WOW moments like season 1 but this makes it better and more closer to the story of the game and I think also to the book's story which give you lot's of emotions and love for the characters that is why I am giving it a 9/10 now because it just keep getting better.

I saw a lot of negative review for season 2 so it seems more people disliked it and I totaly respect that. Maybe the reason I like this season so much was that I already played the game (Note: It may not be the same story as the games given that it is basicly another universe but it still feels very similar) or maybe the reason was that I wasn't excited for this season much so when it came out I just decided to give it a try hence I didn't get disapointed like most people but actually loved it. So if you are someone who doesn't want any change in story to be done or if you are someone who haven't played the game or played it but didn't like much and if you are looking at the review to decied whether you should watch this season or not then the answer maybe be NO because you will probably be disapointed like everyone else.

I understand your hate for this season, but don't hate on my review just because I said liked it, I just said everything that I myself felt and it is just my humble opinion.",9
I watched this as 1st season wasnt so bad. But the 2nd season tops the worst series this year. I think the director overdid it. Nawaz is a good actor but some of the scenes arent just his. Please do not make 3rd season,5
"Grampa ""At my age, it doesn't take time. They always lied, but I caught them very first time. Just one glance is enough to realize what is going on between a boy and a girl."" He may be right, and I think it is same to our heart... What made this movie different from other Indian live comedy is that Aditya and Geet getting to like each other little by little. Tak kemal maka tak cinta...it was not ""love at the first sight.""",6
"At that time in 2008 when ""The Dark Knight"" came out, it may have topped expectations after the 2005 prequel ""Batman Begins"". Undoubtably TDK was a major success at the box office. The opening weekend in the USA alone grossed $158,411,483 on 20 July 2008. But in retrospect I find it lacks of a good storyline. If you watch both films subsquently like I did you should look for the differences.

In TDK there is no reference whatsoever about Batman's past and his father issues or his pain about the loss of his parents. The second Batman film of director Christopher Nolan is set only one year after the first one and completely oversees the complicated ties of the fabulous origin. In fact actor Christian Bale doesn't get to present himself at all. He is pushed in the background while everyone else takes over. All that is left is a shadow of his original character with a deeper and raspier voice.

While Michael Caine still has a major role it is Heath Ledger and Aaron Eckhart who take the lead and both bring very interesting characters to the board. Ledger's performance is one of the greatest moments in DC cinema history and that is the result of his immersive preparation for the role. Aaron Eckhart is to play the ""White Knight"", as the Joker calls him, and is yet destined to become someone else...

The way the Joker assembles his team of professional terrorists is unexplained. The audience is only blinded by the sound & light of many explosions and before you wonder how all this could happen there is the next action scene to keep you from second-guessing. The story gets insanely ridiculous and can only be described as a paraody of the first film. A comic book in that fashion would have been entertaining but it didn't convince me on film.

Another disappointing sequence of events are the new gimmicks of Batman. While he doesn't hesitate to crash most of his vehicles we get introduced to a futuristic spyware that even Mr. Fox denies to use. Christian Bale moves slowly in fight scenes and obviously they shot it in the dark to cover bad choreography. It's like they saved all the budget for big scale explosions instead of a good story!

There is one mentionable dilemma worth discussing. The Joker brings a new element of randomness into the game. Also he likes to question integrity and thus cleverly plays a game to fool everyone. Other than that this movie feels like watching Matrix II after the first one. It just doesn't catch up. Not even in two and a half hours.",4
"I named my son Odin, he's 7 years old. I was contemplating showing him the movie, but do to the pg-13 rating don't think it's gonna happen. I wanted him to witness why I named him Odin, his power of being the Norse God of poetry and magic, and giving up his one eye for wisdom, being the father of Thor, God of Thunder etc... I found none of this in this movie, no information regarding the mythology, just as one reviewer wrote ""all clichés"" ... I have yet to finish this movie I keep falling asleep. Thor has just landed on Earth and I fell asleep after looking at him in his black levi's and 6 pack abs. yawwwwwwwwwwwn! What a disappointment and... I'm always amazed at the money thrown at these movies... this is the business to be in. You can make crap movies and still make millions.

For all who love this movie... good for you!",3
"Season 1 was spectacular. Season 2 was tolerable. Season 3 is unwatchable. Ridiculous plot, unnecessary cussing and crudity, horrible dialogue with equivalently bad delivery. Except El who still shines. It's so juvenile that it will only appeal to kids but I wouldnt want mine to watch it.",2
"I am seriously baffled. There is NO story to this. I went to the cinema with great expectations and left after forcing myself to stay far longer than I would had it not had Oscar nominations. It is dire. I really wanted it to be good. I like musicals, I like both actors...it was going to be a perfect storm. But I waited and waited and waited for the story to begin, or even any semblance of a story but to no avail. Truly the most boring, achingly dreadful film I've had the displeasure of watching. Of the fully packed cinema I counted 19 people before me leave and I left ¾ of the way through, so it wasn't just me. Oscars now hold no meaning for me. If this rubbish had so many thrown at it, those who decide must be a bunch of faux elitist 'arty types' trying to pick the worst film in order to pretend they can see deeper meaning behind it or they chose it for a joke, to see if the general public can be hoodwinked into loving a film simply because of its Oscars status. Utter. Rubbish.",1
"One Sunday night I eagerly watched the oscars, hoping my favorite movie of the year once upon a time... in hollywood would win several awards. While it won a few I was shocked to see parasite win so many. A few weeks later I decided to rent the movie and watch. And after 2 hours I can say that I don't think it's all that great. Let's start with the positives. I enjoyed the comedy. There were several bits that had me laughing. They were probably not in the same spots others would usually laugh but nevertheless I thought the movie was decently funny. I thought the acting was pretty good too. Both sides of the family pulled off a pretty believable take on the rich and the poor. But that's all I can really say I liked about the movie. About halfway into the movie I turned to the person I was watching it with and told them that ""This movie must get pretty great within the next 45 minutes amiright"" I had heard so much about the many twists and turns of the movie and I can say that they're really wasn't ever a big twist for me. I mean there was one. That one lead to the entire 3rd act of the movie so I can't really say it was all too surprising. As a person who has loved Movies since I was a mere lad I can say this wasn't anything too groundbreaking, and can definitely say if it was made the same exact way expect by an American, the movie would be perceived as sucky and unoriginal. I really tried to enjoy this movie but I just couldn't. Maybe someday I'll revisit it and see something in it.",5
"Season 1 review: Summary: Worth watching, even if for the action fight scenes alone. I look forward to season 2. But the boring plot & slow pace hurt it.

Action: I love watching on screen martial arts fight scenes. Nothing's more satisfying than watching a cool fight. I can happily say that these fight scenes were pretty good. The couple of continuous non-stop camera shots were the big highlights.

Violence: There are a few extreme moments. Can reach cringe-worthy levels at times. If you don't like gory scenes, look away. I personally am not bothered by these scenes, but people who don't like it should be warned.

Plot: Unfortunately, the season 1 plot was boring. The bad guys' big plot was some scheme involving taking control of some New York City real estate, about as bland a topic as it gets. At some point I began to tune-out all the excessive plot details of what fake real estate company the villains were illegally moving their money into or whatever they were up to, because whatever they were up to just wasn't very interesting. You can argue that the real plot was the Fisk rising up and taking control of the New York criminal underworld, but then why even bother the audience with all the boring little details about fake real estate deals and so on? I can only hope the season 2 plot gets better.

Pacing: I have another major complaint and that's that the show slowed to a snail's pace too many times. Too many scenes were just people standing around, with serious faces, just talking talking talking talking and talking. The countless Foggy & Karen scenes, in particular, got a bit excruciating at times. For example, one of the early episodes wasted half its run-time on just Foggy & Karen getting drunk at the bar, and then walking through town drunk, and then looking for Matt drunk, and then knocking on Matt's apartment door drunk to find that he wasn't home. It doesn't help that the plot unravels slowly; so for at least the first half of the season, we usually have no idea what a lot of the long talking scenes were even about. The scenes with the bad guys all standing around vaguely discussing their plans were particularly guilty of not letting the viewer have any clue what they were even discussing. I found myself frequently wondering: When are they just going to get on with the next action scene already?

Best character: The character of Fisk is very interesting. I'm the most familiar with Fisk from the 90s Spider-Man animated series, where he was a well spoken genius. The Fisk in this show, however, was nothing like that. In this version, he has an almost child-like personality, complete with temper tantrums and a poor ability at dealing with other people, which was weird, but different. Even though he's clearly the bad guy, the show manages to get us to kinda root for him. Also, the actor definitely looks the part, which is a big plus for Marvel fans like me who are already familiar with the character, but I just wish they gave him his classic white suit-look.

Worst character: Foggy Nelson gets pretty obnoxious in this. Here's where the much derided (perhaps overly so) Daredevil (2003) movie actually did it so much better. The movie's Foggy was funny and likable. This show's version is an annoying loser who makes dumb comments all the time and reacts to everything in the wrong way. The show clearly does not want the viewers to like him, so why does he get to take up so much screen time? I dare you to watch this show without wanting to slap this guy for being so annoying.",7
"""Venom: Let There Be Carnage"" is a massive waste of potential. The actors don't perform at their best. Carnage looks cool but doesn't have much of an impact. Venom is made to be comedic relief for the most part and not the dark and menacing anti-hero he should be. The story is lacklustre at best. The action is aesthetically pleasing but lacks intensity and is simply not very enjoyable.

Overall this is a weak and disappointing sequel to its superior predecessor ""Venom"". I would not recommend.",4
"I do not like this, it confused me & it was not a stronge movie. Its my review.",4
"Strong liberal undertones kinda ruined the movie for me. I was disappointed in Bullock and that she starred in this B grade, not so horror filled horror flick. The whole thing felt kind of cheezy and very unrealistic. Poor job on the details and story telling. The passage of time was badly conveyed and it was hard to connect with any of the characters. It was just a bad movie that didn't even try to make sense. In a word, shallow.",3
"An engrossing story of a spy, picturised in not so pleasing, in some parts in a dark, manner. Some nice twist and turns to the story makes it more interesting even after a runtime of more than two hours. Jennifer effortlessly portrays Dominica. Mathias demands mention.",7
"""Shazam!"" is an Action - Fantasy movie in which we watch a young boy gaining some unexpected powers that has to learn how to control them. As he gains experience and learns even better his powers, soon he has to deal with a new powerful enemy.

I liked this movie and I found it very interesting and different from other superhero movies that I have watched. The plot of the movie is simple but very interesting and the direction which was made by David F. Sandberg was very good and I believe that he did an excellent job. The interpretations of both Zachary Levi who played as Shazam and Asher Angel who played as Billy Batson were very good and the combination of them created this beautiful result. Finally, I have to say that ""Shazam!"" is a nice, entertaining movie that I highly recommend everyone to watch it.",6
"Somehow this was not my movie at all. I don't think Ford v Ferrari is a bad or terrible movie, but I don't know, the story was kinda meh and everything felt like taking super long like they would try to fill up the movie with scenes just to make it longer. I even fell asleep once during the movie.

Acting-wise I can't say anything bad, the performance was awesome as always, I also didn't expect anything else from Matt Damon and Christian Bale :) .

I also do not advice against watching Ford v Ferrari, I guess it is just me I am not a huge fan of cars, I actually just watched the movie because of Matt Damon and Christian Bale.",5
"So intriguing, creepy, complex and scary. This show tells us that King's novel adaptations work best on TV.

The Outsider sets the bar for great Horror shows and movie. It establishes the fact that making audience uncomfortable is better than showing them cheap jumpscares every other minute. Nonetheless, this is one of the best Stephen King adaptation I have ever seen. Acting is really good, cinematography is fantastic and the way each episode progresses really leaves the viewer at his seat's edge.

But as I said above, the whole buildup gets ruined by a very muddled and cheap ending. It destroys literally all character building and downplays the threat. If only it could've gotten a good ending. So don't watch this if you don't like bad endings, otherwise this is a great show.",7
"Haven't seen such a rubbish movie for a long time. I thought it might get better as it went on, but it got worse. I know it's a fictional movie, but they could have at least made Some scenes a bit more believable, or even used better actors.",1
Just wow! Didn't see this coming. Police guy and the Kerala girl was amazing.,10
This movie is one of the best movies of all time in my opinion and by far one of my favorite movies. The acting of Jonah hill and Michael Cera together always makes a great comedic movie. All of the jokes in the movie are funny for everybody unless your under the age of 12. This movie also has one of the most know scenes in all of Jonah hills movies the mclovin scene. Overall this movie is very funny and i am writing this review because I recommend people to watch it even though most people have already seen it and also I have to write this review for school.,10
"Pulp Fiction is a movie with some absolutely great lines and at the same time utterly repulsive and barren. As with all Tarantino films, very well written, acted and filmed but with a soul of utter depravity and desolation. Watching the film makes me feel that the human race exists only to fulfill it most primitive urges. Life has no worth , no beauty. People kill and are killed with absolutely no feeling at all, except maybe for a laugh.

Yet at the same time, few movies have as many great lines, that I still quote , 30 years later. Royale with cheese, check out the brain on Brad, go medieval on his ass, Zed is dead baby - still float around in my consciousness.",5
"Bacon has created one of the all-time best bad guys. Season 2 falters as focus drops from him to the dull lawyer couple and their personal issues with the poor blacks. Bacon has a great walk, evidence perhaps of his dancing talent?",8
"I sat through the whole thing without the least idea of what was going on. It seemed like an endless string of herky-jerky, two second scenes with next to nothing to connect them. Lots of guns and explosions for those who like fireworks, but the plot was invisible. None of the characters provoked even the mildest of interest from me. Clearly, a lot of money was spent on special effects, but because something can be done doesn't mean it should be. While I am not a writer, I seem to remember that a story should have an arc. There was nothing like that here - only a bunch of random dots. Overall, a total mess. Don't waste your money. Minus 5 stars.",1
"This movie is a technical triumph, you feel the soldiers' fight for survival as if you were there yourself. Trying to get out of downed plane, escaping a sinking ship, etc. The music with it's time ticking, edge of your seat sounds together with the pictures gives a repetitive feeling. Every scene sounds like a nerve-wrecking, pulse-pounding climax. The problem for me is that there is no coherent story and you don't really get to know the main characters. Maybe I was disappointed because I read all these excellent reviews, if not I might have given this 7 out of 10.",6
"Hard to believe Scorsese directed it - it lacks pace, energy and humor. The few climactic scenes have no build-up of suspense, so there are no thrilling pay-offs to them. The whole thing reminded me of one of these sports champions who are old but come back for one more contest. and when it happens you realize that he's over the hill.",3
"After a long journey in both book and film format the Harry Potter saga is finally coming to a close. The millions of fans around the world will already know the outcome of the story due to reading the book when it was first published back in 2007. However seeing a film-maker's interpretation of the books is a whole new experience, and in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part One they will not be disappointed.

All the cast regulars return for this penultimate film in the series, as they will for the very last film, Part Two. Due to the huge scope of the story in the final book the film was split into two separate parts. In this film we get to see Daniel Radcliffe as Harry, Rupert Grint as Ron, and Emma Watson as Hermione on a mission to defeat Lord Voldemort by seeking out and destroying the horcruxes which make him immortal.

There is an ominous feel to this film and a very real sense that we are heading for a final climactic showdown between Harry and Voldemort. Indeed, the Dark Lord has taken measures to prevent this occurrence by dispatching the Death Eaters to capture Harry. He has also taken control of Hogwarts and the Ministry Of Magic, meaning that in this film our trio of heroes do not have the support from others which they have enjoyed in previous adventures. Therefore they have to rely on each other and work as a team much more than ever before.

Despite not having as large a part to play in this film, The Deathly Hallows still features performances from many well respected British actors. Robbie Coltrane returns as Hagrid, along with Alan Rickman, Helena Bonham Carter, John Hurt, Michael Gambon, Maggie Smith and of course Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort.

There is no doubt that this is the darkest Harry Potter film yet both in terms of content and the way in which it is shot by director David Yates. The strain of the foreboding situation even tells on the friendship of Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they try to escape from the Death Eaters that are hunting them. This is without a doubt the most grown up Harry Potter film to date.

As with all the films in the Harry Potter franchise, the big action sequences in The Deathly Hallows are exciting and visually stunning. They are more sinister in tone than normal to tie in with the general feel of the movie, and younger viewers may even be frightened by some of the imagery. They are handled absolutely correctly however to replicate the feel of the book, and to keep the audience entertained.

Despite the fact that it would be impossible to include everything from a Harry Potter book in the film version, the Deathly Hallows is a very faithful adaptation. Fans of the book will not be disappointed in the attention to detail shown here, and in fact Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part One is sure to leave everybody looking forward to Part Two and the completion of this much loved, record breaking series.",8
"... but as a piece of stand-up comedy it manages to assail. Alas the rest you've seen before, it will only make you wail. An anti-climax at the end, results in a big flail (quite a few as it happens) and if part three reveals itself, it will be, the final nail.",4

"*HERE BE SPOILERS* During the long, drawn-out ending of this movie, I could hear sniffling and noses being blown everywhere. And indeed, if you're looking for a weepy to blub your heart out to, then this could be the film for you. Now, I have to confess on my side... the vision did get slightly blurred... but certainly not the flood-like levels I experienced around me. I last time I saw this level of collective sobbing was Titanic... I guess there's something about a charming pretty boy dying young that sets off the ol' female tear ducts. ""HE HAD ALL HIS LIFE AHEAD OF HIM"". *Snort*... ""Madame, could you please remove your hankie from my lap?!""

Anyway, credit where credit is due... this is, for the most part, an engaging portrayal of two intelligent teenage cancer sufferers who don't know what the future holds. Gus appears to be in remission but has had a leg amputated, while Hazel has only one lung after her treatment, and has to lug an oxygen tank with her everywhere. They meet at a support group, which is of course full of false platitudes and unhelpful advice. The couple connect almost instantly in this staid atmosphere, and before long they're swapping books and sharing their own unique brand of black comedy.

In fact, they make a perfect match... which makes it all the more tragic that inevitably, one (or both) will pass away soon. Come on... you've seen the way this movie is marketed... you weren't expecting a happy ending. But before she shuffles off this mortal coil, Hazel wants to meet the author of her favourite novel in the flesh... because the story he wrote had an unsatisfactory conclusion that she wants elaborating on. One problem: he now lives in isolation in Amsterdam, and she doesn't have the money to get there. Plus, her health may be at risk during the flight. Thanks to Gus and her family's efforts though, her dreams come true...

The trip to Holland is eye-opening in more ways than one, as our intrepid duo have an unforgettable three days. Sadly, it's all downhill from there as events take a turn for the worst.The film does begin to lose some of it's power by becoming a bit too melodramatic, and the previously witty dialogue turns rather flowery to this trained ear. Still, it studiously avoids maudlin sentiment for the most part... So I suppose we can allow it to get a little morose during the climax. As long as old biddies seated nearby could be more careful with their snotrags in the future. Jeez... 6/10",6
"My biggest fear about sequels is it's gonna end up pretty bad and ruin the first one. But I remember, Dreamworks already understand how to make a true good animated movie so I don't have to worry. Now the sequel just got more awesome. Non-stop action and non-stop laughs. The heart is also there. ""Kung Fu Panda 2"" is just as good as the first one.

The trailer makes us dubious but this is Dreamworks. Anyways, ""Kung Fu Panda 2"" is a great continuation of the series. The story still has a heart and some scenes can almost move you to tears. The movie has bigger and more Kung Fu action & yes, the action never stops. It's all kick butt action.

I like it how they improved the editing. Remember Megamind, It feels like you were flying in every flying sequences. They did the same thing in ""Kung Fu Panda 2"". Fast Moving Action that it's fun to see it even if it's in 2D. I don't really bash 3D though. The jokes are obviously everywhere. Even in serious scenes it suddenly has humor.

The new comers from the cast did a great job. Gary Oldman is definitely good at being a villain in movies even if it's animated. Michelle Yeoh made her character likable. Jean-Claude Van Damme is awesome even though his scenes were few. This movie still has the same style from the first movie. Magnificent flash animation in the intro, flashbacks, and the dream sequence. Nice music score. And a lot more.

I just said this movie is as good as the first movie but if I had to pick which Kung Fu Panda movie is better then it would be the first one. It's more heartwarming but Kung Fu Panda 2 is already good enough as a sequel because it's bigger and too awesome. Unfortunately, It's too awesome it moderates the depth a little bit but it's entertaining at its best. To be honest, this could be the best movie of the summer so far.",8
"Each episode lasts approx. 30 minuted and but only 10 minutes are related to a dead person in second episode. First episode has more talking and events about deal person.

But in generally we see only talking in Only Murders in the Building. Almost nothing else. That's why it's boring. Maybe other episodes are better but i don't want to watch them.

There are many off-topic events. For example, n actor goes to his adult kid asking him for help, his kid doesn't want to help him. Another off-topic event is showing memory or female actor. Since not related to murder in hotel, i don't like it. Looks like off-topic events are used to delay finding murderer. Is murderer found in the last episode of the first season?

There are also many monologues (we don't see who is talking) which are introducing situation like in many other series and movies. I don't like that either.",3
"The anime is very interesting. I like the idea of a world filled with superheroes.

We have a main character in Deku who is initially down about not having a superpower, but then gets the strongest power of them all.

It's exciting to see how Deku learns to deal with this power and the secondary characters complement the whole thing very well.

The only criticism I have is that it takes too long for Deku to control the full power of his ability for my liking. I mean of course he needs some time to get used to it, but 4 seasons is just too much for me.

Otherwise the anime is recommended.

I am excited for the future season.",8

"This dramatises/documents the evacuation of Dunkirk - well it sort of tries.

To begin with this has a great opening third. I liked Fionn Whitehead's character and how you know little about him except his will to survive. The action is very dramatic and you can almost taste the cordite as shells smash into the ground throwing bodies into the air.

For all that - this film has some real issues for me.

It is shot out of sequence a la Pulp Fiction. Why? I don't know. It adds nothing but confusion.

The movie goes on for far too long repeating the same events again and again until they just become boring. To try and liven things up, more explosions are thrown in. But when things just blowup for no apparent reason it makes things boring AND odd.

Many points were very on the nose with some awful dialogue. ""Hey, you, your old."" ""Well old men send the young to fight so I'm going to get myself blown up to prove a point.""

I don't want to be the guy who crinkles up his nose and points out that they didn't use that particular radio antennae until such a year but... This operation was massive! Over 300,000 men were evacuated in over 800 ships. waves of German aircraft numbering in the hundreds bombed the beaches and port. Dunkirk was turned into a smoldering fortress, the beaches clogged with vehicles, guns and supplies. But you get no sense of that here. The queues at Brighton Beach for ice creams during lock-down were busier than the evacuation lines in the movie. This film gives the impression that neither the British or the Germans really cared about the evacuation and only sent over the odd plane, ship or submarine that had nothing better to do.

For as much as it wants to cheer for the humble every-man it can't resist going all Hollywood at the end. If silk wasn't on ration I am sure a few of the characters would have had red capes.

It is gripping for a while but my attention and interest in the subject waned by about halfway through.",5
"Joe Pesci plays an old man who seems to be at a line read for a movie. Al Pacino plays Jimmy Hoffa and shouts a lot like those guys Al Pacino plays in films with Al Pacino in them, and Robert de Niro plays the guy that Robert de Niro plays in films with Robert de Niro in them.

They meet from time to time in booths at badly lit restaurants and talk to each other, and to Harvey Keitel who reprises the role of Harvey Keitel from other films with Harvey Keitel in them.

There are some familiar faces in the smaller parts. Jesse Plemons plays a young guy who can't believe he's in a scene with Al Pacino, and Anna Paquin plays the woman in the film.

You'll enjoy watching Robert de Niro play a 40 yr old with the body and legs of an 80 yr old, trying to kick the hell out of a grocery store owner who generously acts as though Robert de Niro in Goodfellas is kicking the hell out of him.

Watch ANY other Scorsese film. The Irishman comes nowhere near them in terms of quality. Or if you like characters with slightly non-human faces, maybe Avatar or Anomalisa.",3
"I would give this show a 9 or 10 but I can't. The first season is just amazing and brings the 80's nostalgic feel to the show. Season 2 is was just god awful, and season 3 was okay but still had a nice feel to it.",6
"Romantics is what they're best at, period pieces too, the time is just not right for Bollywood to try and dish out action movies, to this day I haven't seen a decent action movie performed correctly in Bollywood. The action scenes are just too funny.

But saying that, the acting is good (except the guy who plays raghuvan Sunil Shetty? he's just bad, very bad!) But hats off to the rest of the cast. (Amrita Rao is just gorgeous!) You'll get there in the end guys! Keep up the good work.",4
"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a magical plunge into J. K. Rowling's wizarding world, earns a delightful 7/10 in my enchanted book of cinematic wonders-an ode to its whimsical charm and spellbinding escapades. Eddie Redmayne's portrayal of Newt Scamander is a bewitching dance of quirkiness and warmth, anchoring the film with a charismatic flair. The film's strength lies in its enchanting creatures, brought to life through seamless visual effects that ignite the imagination. While the plot may occasionally meander, the editing maintains a whimsical rhythm that keeps the magical momentum alive. The musical score, a magical symphony conducted by James Newton Howard, weaves a melodic spell that transcends the screen. Cinematography captures the magical landscapes with a vibrant palette, creating a visual feast for wizarding enthusiasts. Fantastic Beasts, with its underlying themes of acceptance and understanding, casts a spell of joy and excitement, inviting audiences to rediscover the magic that lies within the extraordinary and the mundane alike.",7
"I loved the movie but wished that Christopher Nolan had showed more heroic transgender soldiers...a missed opportunity really.

"I really enjoyed this movie. Every Barbie that I grew up with gets featured (No, I did not own them all). I love the story and the fact that all ages can get something out of it, which made it feel even more relateable.

The story does have it flaws, but are quite foregiveable I think.

I know some people are complaining about the characteristics of Ken, but if you were into Barbie in the 80's, you would know that Ken has always been as he is displayed in the movie. He never was GI Joe, that is for sure.

I love the fact of the deeper layer and message in the film. I will recommend it to anyone that is open to the pinkness :)",8
"Rating 8.0

Favorite Episode: The New World

The most intelligent show I've ever seen. Smartest protagonist I've seen. The middle of the show became very mundane since we already knew who Kira was, OP2 is the worst anime OP I've ever seen, and there was a decent amount of edge/cringe that felt like a preteens fever dream. Overall it's good but is very overhyped (a lot of people's first anime it's an FMAB situation).",7
"""Brilliantly crafted and timelessly relevant, The Godfather remains a cinematic triumph that effortlessly weaves a tale of power, crime, and family dynamics. The film's exceptional ensemble cast, including Al Pacino and James Caan, delivers performances that resonate with depth and authenticity. Coppola's directorial finesse shines through in every scene, creating an immersive experience that has solidified its place in film history. The Godfather's influence extends beyond its genre, leaving an indelible mark on storytelling in cinema. From its evocative score to its nuanced exploration of morality, the film's enduring legacy is a testament to its unparalleled impact on the art of filmmaking.""",9

"Being a movie buff has provided me several opportunities to experience the visions of thousands of filmmakers in my life; it is an honour to witness and observe their inherent imaginations becoming reality.

Among them, one name always stood out: Steven Spielberg, the director for whom I have enormous respect and regard. Even though I haven't finished his entire catalogue, the ones I've seen thus far have left significant marks on my mind!

So to see his life progressively emerge on screen, from his youth to his adolescence, was a sort of epiphany, one that will inspire millions of storytellers and cinephiles alike.

This is not only a film about a filmmaker's fight to gain recognition and family support, but it is also about the force of art and how it triumphs over any hurdles or limits. The movie not only teaches us to pursue our hearts' aspirations with tenacity, but also to hang on tight even when the odds are stacked against us!

If you truly love something, you must care for it and stick to it. It may tear your heart out, it may adversely impact everything you care about other than your passion, but one day, you will be rewarded, you will be paid back in full for all the sacrifices you made.

The medium of cinema will always prevail.

P. S. I would not mind if Michelle Williams gets the Oscar, she poured her heart into her role and it won't be an undeserving win, not at all!",8
"Weak story! Funny. But some scenes are weak (half-mouthed), not being the height of the story. It's not ""super exciting / intriguing"" like the rest of Sherlock.

"If baseball is America's pastime, Forest Gump is America's movie. For better or worse, this film encapsulates so much of the American psyche. It's less a fantastical depiction of historical events as it is a record of Americans' reactions to those events. A cultural summary with its finger on the pulse of the collective conscience, and perhaps simultaneously something more sinister...

At its simplest level, Forest Gump is a story about a good-ol' southern boy, descendant of a Confederate hero, who, despite being a bit slow, achieves outrageous success simply by being a good person. He participates in all of the virtues of conservative Americana - succeeding in sports, fighting in the war (but not getting injured too badly), succeeding in sports again, starting a successful business, and investing wisely. He does all this while being largely unaware of the plight of those around him, even his closest friends and love interest.

Meanwhile, his girlfriend, deeply scarred by her father's abuse, is set down the dark path of liberalism. While Forest is busy succeeding in all the conservative virtues of athletics, military service, business, and investment, Jenny fails in all the liberal virtues of higher education, pacifism, black power, free love, and drug use. Forest repeatedly offers her an 'out', a path to redemption, salvation from her unholy liberal ways, but she rejects him at every turn until it's too late.

Jenny's life is a train wreck, Forest's life is a nonstop rocket to the moon. Jenny adopts liberalism. Forest is a model of conservative virtue. This dynamic requires further investigation lest we prematurely conclude that Groom is implying southern conservatives are slow in the head. On the contrary, Forest's story is, in many ways, like the charming and not-entirely-truthful success stories wealthy southern conservatives tell about themselves, brushing the uglier aspects of their personal and family histories (often involving slavery, exploitation of workers, tax fraud, corruption, etc.) under the rug. It has long been the tactic of southern businessmen to play the part of the simpleton to hide their wily nature. Far from being an indictment of southerners as mentally impaired, Forest is a southern conservative paragon. Jenny, on the other hand, offers evidence that liberals must be deeply scarred people, and Lieutenant Dan provides corroborating evidence.

Like Forest, Lt. Dan is a veteran, but unlike his innately fortunate subordinate, he's seriously injured in Vietnam and comes home bitter. Much like Jenny, his trauma induces him to go down the path of liberalism and he suffers as a result. Unlike Jenny, he finds redemption, returns to the light, and embraces conservative virtues once again, even trying to dissuade Forest from giving his friend Bubba's family any of the profits from a company bearing his name. Who says redemption into the light of Conservative Jesus requires a charitable heart?

The important difference between Forest, the conservative, and Jenny and Lt. Dan, the liberals, is that Forest deals with his disability and never sees himself as a victim. Jenny and Lt. Dan see themselves as victims, and this, according to Groom, is a necessary precursor to the liberal disorder.

There's no denying that Forest Gump is a classic, entertaining movie with a compelling narrative - and in this way too, it is the charming mythology of a white southern elite's backstory, refined subconsciously over decades to be retold around the country club or memorialized on little plaques that adorn park benches. There is a dichotomy between Forest's conservative success story and the other characters' liberal failure-to-redemption arcs. The intensely negative portrayal of the anti-war movement, the civil rights movement, free love and drug use, are part and parcel of the conservative lens that the historical events depicted in the film are presented through. The 'real America' wasn't civil rights, anti-war, etc., it was the fantastical success story of a white southerner, and if you deny it, you weren't paying attention.",7
"This movie is frustrating, I wanted to love it so much after being disappointed with ""A Quiet Place"". Unfortunately it's another brainless movie where the main characters keep making stupid decisions. The decision that brings them to the main obstacle they have to overcome was contrived.

If not for the copious amounts of plot armor protecting all the characters this movie would've ended halfway.",5
"My Review- The Fablemans My Rating 10/10

The Fablemans begins in the Cinema with an appreciation from Stephen Spielberg its Director co writer and the character that Sammy Fableman is based on.

He thanks the audience for coming out to watch his movie on the Cinema screen the way it was meant to be seen.

Apparently judging by the World Box Office so far Cinema audiences are staying away in droves.

I cannot answer why and only hope that the films recent Golden Globe Awards for Best Picture and Best Director for Steven Spielberg plus the AFI choice as Best Picture of the year will encourage film goers to see this fine movie at the Cinema.

If the films critical success is repeated at The Oscars it could mean 2 more Academy Awards to add to Steven Spielberg's three well deserved wins.

The Fablemans is a deceptively simple story closely mirroring the actual life experiences of Steven Spielberg's young life growing up in a privileged Jewish home in Phoenix Arizona . It obviously was a labour of love and some pain that Stephen Spielberg and the great Tony Kushner completed during the Covid pandemic and the making of his Oscar nominated West Side Story.

Lovers of Cinema and the process of making movies like myself I'm sure will love The Fablemans because it's been made by one of the greatest movie makers of all time.

When I say it's deceptively simple I mean that it has no gimmicks and doesn't try to be clever . It's what I love most in movies an interesting story with a fine script plus some great performances and great production values .

Young Gabriel LaBelle is so impressive as Sammy Fableman and throughly deserved the praise that Steven Spielberg paid him at The Golden Globes this week.

His acting especially in the pivotal scene where Sonny discovers his innocent home movie of a family camping trip reveals much more about his much loved and supportive mother Mitzi than he expected .

Another wonderful moment for me is Sammy's reaction to seeing his first movie Cecil B DeMill's The Greatest Show on Earth made in 1952 during a family outing to a local Cinema . The movie is showing to a full house to an audience that's captivated by another great film spectacular movie.

It took me back to my childhood when my Dad was a projectionist at Brighton Le Sands when I was the same age as young Sammy.

I'm always impressed with Michelle Williams and she excels in The Fablemans cast as Sonny's mother Mitzi Fableman , Mitzi is a talented sensitive woman who gave up a possible career as a concert pianist to marry a pleasant but dull and nerdy computer expert.

Michelle Williams captures the affection of a mother who adores her son and family plus the vulnerability and fragility when circumstances occur to change the dynamics of the Fableman's family forever.

Paul Dano as Burt Fableman who provides well for his family is also impressive as is Seth Rogan as his best friend Benny .

Burt takes a better job and moves his family to California where Sammy sadly discovers Antisemitism and bullying for the first time in his young life.

Veteran actor Judd Hirsh as Uncle Boris gives a supporting role worthy of an Oscar nomination when he turns up on the doorstep for his sisters funeral much to Mitzi's horror .

He spots the passion and talent of young Sonny and encourages him not to compromise in his quest to make movies .

The attention to detail by the Spielberg team captures the 1960's perfectly I noticed even a subtle homage to the past history of movies with a Cinerama movie theatre featured in the background Cinerama was a widescreen process that originally projected images simultaneously from three synchronized 35mm projectors onto a huge, deeply curved I remember The Spanish style Plaza Cinerama theatre in Sydney that now has been gutted and turned into a McDonalds store.

John Williams Spielberg's regular composer has created another beautiful musical score for this fine movie.

I've seen The Fablemans twice now and will watch it again as it's a film like my favourite film about the love of movies Cinema Paradiso that I get more out of each viewing but please see it at a Cinema before it streams the detail in sets props and costumes is amazing.",10
"This film isn't outright bad, and it has some strong points. However, it strongly suffers from a variety of writing issues, among other problems.

This sequel has some of the strengths that I've come to expect from an MCU movie: (mostly) great acting, stylish characters, and envelope-pushing visual effects. Dr. Strange capitalized on the last point to the fullest, given its psychedelic subject matter. Like a few of the recent MCU movies, this one also has some very strong cameos.

That's roughly where the strengths end, though. Another typical strength of MCU movies is the witty dialogue, which this largely lacks. In addition, Xochitl Gomez's wooden performance would have worked fine for some characters, but not for the wisecracking street kid that her character is treated as. (For the record, I thought that Brie Larson was fine in Captain Marvel.) Her visual theme is also extremely on-the-nose. However, the big, big problems from this movie revolve around the plot and the villain.

I think most No Way Home viewers had a pretty sensible expectation for this movie's premise: Strange cleaning up the effects of his botched, multiverse-breaching spell. It's quickly obvious that the movie isn't going there at all. The writers threw away a perfectly fine plot and made some wild jumps in both exposition and character development to conjure another one. (Perhaps the jumps made more sense for Disney+ subscribers, but the writers shouldn't rely on that.) There are secondary plot issues, too, including an obviously nonsensical MacGuffin.

The villain's motive was reasonably interesting, but their associated world-building was a mess. Their backstory contains some inexplicable, ad-hoc components that remain mysteries to even the villain themselves. Also, their non-cohesive, ever-escalating mishmash of abilities should have allowed them to instantly defeat the main heroes, as they did with other characters. This is especially disappointing since the writers tried to blend this movie with the horror genre--just as the Guardians movies are part comedy and Captain America 2 & 3 are part political thriller. It didn't work in this case, though, since Steven Strange's very clanky plot armor releases the tension. The villain's unique powers occasionally result in some very gripping moments, but other action scenes repeatedly degenerate into Dragon Ball Z-style laser duels.

Altogether, the film is probably worth a watch for niche crowds, such as die-hard Marvel viewers, occult enthusiasts, computer graphics nerds, and Cumberbatch fangirls, but I do not recommend it for a general audience. Aside from being dark and incredibly weird, it has numerous writing-related flaws that are uncharacteristic of other MCU movies and bode poorly for the future of the franchise.",4
"This movie could have been anything and it would have made this much money.

They could have written almost any plot and the charismatic collection on screen would have made it good.

It is almost an accomplishment that Joss Whedon and Co. produced this instead.

The general reaction to this spectacle almost made me wonder if I had watched a different movie. Most of my friends seemed to like and the critical reviews were positive enough. Critics and audiences alike seemed to think it had delivered on its promises.

My biggest impression walking away was: ""Did half that movie take place on an aircraft carrier? That can fly?"" I'll save you the trouble: precisely 70 minutes of this 140 minute film takes place on a flying aircraft carrier. It is so precisely half the movie that I am certain it was done on purpose.

This was an appalling waste of potential in every sense.",4
"This show lacks character development terribly. They seem to just rush to summery a story on TV but not trying to do anything else.

I don't care if it's slow or fast, as long as they spend a lot more time creating depth in each character (including the children and each dragon), that would make much difference.

You just don't care about any character or what happens to them, even if all dragons die, I wouldn't care, that's how bad it is. No character you really root for and no character you really hate, GOT did really well with that, dang even a wolf in GOT was more interesting than a dragon in HOD, even a servant was more interesting than these any important characters in HOD.

They just spend time creating gruesome scenes to shock audiences but done in a bad taste.

Please change TV writers and directors for upcoming seasons.",1
A complete disappointment and a waste of everyone's talents.,2
"I had high hopes for this series, but it's obvious it isn't going to improve with age. Speaking of age, I am not a teen who is obsessed with speed and action as some reviewers have said people who don't care for this series are. I do like speed and action in its place, but come on.

I also like Nichole Kidman and used to love Jack Huston, but am not so thrilled with either of them in this project. The entire acting team seems to be phoning it in. And I blame the director for trying to make this an art film rather than a gritty one that it is.

Hong Kong comes of beautifully, when it wants to and shows its underbelly when appropriate. That's the good part!

I really did fall asleep 5 times in the latest episode and I had high hopes that that was the final one! It was not, there is one to go. Have no idea if I'll watch it or not. I am not at all married to this series.

All that said, give it a go! The scenery might just catch your eye! After all, it IS Hong Kong!",5
"On friday, the last episode of ""WandaVision"" was released and it was amazing! The whole show is an adventure, an fascinating, thrilling story that achieves the same effect on people who have never seen Marvel before like on long-time fans. It is great that the show doesn´t clarify right away the mysterious things that are happening in Westview. That gives the viewer space to develop own theories, he muses about it more and looks forward to the next episode. ""WandaVision"" has set it´s own tone; the combination of sitcom and superheroes, old TV-shows and reality is new, funny, lively and exciting. Thanks for creating such a special story!",8
"Early in the film the tone is set, where Rizwan Khan (Shah Rukh Khan) is taught by his mom that there are only two groups of people in the world – those who do good and those who do bad. It may be an oversimplification, but if you think about it, that's is exactly what it boils down to, regardless of language, religion and the colour of one's skin.

And it is this message that Rizwan, who suffers from Asperger's Syndrome, brings along in his extraordinary journey in the United States, and to the people he meets along the way. Schooled by the love of his mother, Rizwan finds himself migrating to the USA thanks to his brother's early entry into the country, and Rizwan's job as a salesman brings him to the love of his life, Mandira (Kajol). In some ways the film provided a tinge of reminiscence to Robert Zemeckis' Forrest Gump, where a simple man with a disability and living on values of love that his mom had imparted, embarks on the journey called life, encountering love, helping people, and inspiring everyone to become a better person.

Karran Johar wrote and produced Kurbaan last year, starring Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor in yet another film which touches on terrorism on US soil, and how intolerance and violence aren't proper solutions to air one's grievances. That film didn't do too well at the box office, probably because it's somewhat of an actioner and a love story rolled into one, and perhaps everyone got distracted by the real life couple in Khan and Kapoor starring opposite each other. In MNIK, Johar takes up directorial duties, and in a stroke of casting genius, put the evergreen SRK with Kajol, who together in their 5 films long before had resulted in nothing other than box office success. My bet is this will likely continue for MNIK.

And bringing people by the masses to the cinemas would mean that it's ample opportunity to re-emphasize the strong message of peace, love and tolerance. Yes it has a strong religious flavour to it, especially when it goes on the quiet offensive to take back a religion of peace, and to straighten out the negative effect of misconceptions and prejudices no thanks to extremists hell bent on furthering their selfish gains. Rizwan may not have a quip like Gump's chocolates, but here he stresses from the onset, that his name is Khan, and he's not a terrorist, with childlike earnestness and honesty, in a film of almost an equal stature in its epicness.

As with most Bollywood films told in two halves separated by an intermission, the first part comes off much stronger than the second, where we learn of Rizwan and his medical ordeal, where in India his mother struggles to bring up a child who's different. We learn more about Asperger's syndrome as the film wore on, and get enlightened on elements such as the hatred and fear of the colour yellow, an inability to lie and to tell it like it's like without sugar coating, a demeanour unable to express feelings easily, and in the mastery of a skill, in which case here it's being a technical expert. The romantic angle also gets drummed up as we see how Rizwan courts Mandira in his own way, with the narrative told in flashbacks (with nicely done transitions) as we move forward in time with Rizwan's quest to meet the President of the USA, which we will find out why.

The later half focused very strongly in that quest, as we see how others touch and lend their support to Rizwan, as much as he reciprocates. Ample time also gets dedicated to the post- 9/11 America with its growing suspicions and mindless attacks on those on the wrong end of racial profiling. The story in this part goes two-pronged, with Rizwan's quest as well as Mandira's thirst for justice to be done. More time gets spent away from each other, and Rizwan's journey proved all the more interesting, with episodes such as that with Mama Jenny (Jennifer Echols) and Funny Hair Joel (Adrian Kali Turner) which will tug at your heartstrings, bringing back to mind that Bollywood hardly lets up on moments to turn on the melodrama if it can. Between the two halves, it's likely to feel that the initial half is the better of the two, though with minor plot loopholes aside, the second did suffer from a last minute gasp of a sub-plot involving religious radicals, but wrapped everything up rather nicely in a full circle fashion.

SRK disappears into the role and becomes heart and soul of the film as Rizwan, no longer the mega-star boasting an awesome physique, but a simple man who lives life as best as he can given his condition, seeking to help others and to become that symbolic beacon of light against bigots. SRK gives a superbly sensitive performance and it's likely the unfortunate, uncontrollable antics of Rizwan would endear the character to you, eliciting support as you root for him to complete his mission despite the challenges laid out for him to overcome. In his last two major films, he had introduced the likes of rookies Deepika Padukone and Anushka Sharma to the world, but I guess one probably needs a seasoned veteran in Kajol to hold her own opposite the Khan when he delves into what could probably be his best role to date.

And that character's name is Khan, and he is not a terrorist. High recommended!",9
"Almost a decade has passed since Harry first encountered Hogwarts. The long anticipated battle between Harry and Voldemort is drawing near. Hogwarts has become no more safe haven. The Ministry has set Harry as a fugitive. The beginning of the end has begun.

First, ""Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1"" is the seventh film in the Harry Potter series based on the first half of the book. It is as usual dark in a David-Yates- Style. In its whole 146-minute run, ""Deathly Hallows"" follows Harry, Hermione and Ron who are on the run from the MInistry of Magic now controlled by the bald-looking, dangerous, evil Voldemort as well as trying to locate and destroy Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes as explained in ""Half-Blood Prince"".

""Deathly Hallows"" will introduce several new characters and they include Xenophilius Lovegood and Rufus Scrmigeour. Xenophilius Lovegood is undoubtedly Luna Lovegood's father. While Rufus Scrmigeour is the Minister until the Death Eaters swarm in the Minister. ""Deathly Hallows"" also sees the return of our beloved characters such as Dobby and Kreacher, the house elves.

""Deathly Hallows"" will not only introduce new characters but also new locations and they include the Malfoy Manor, where the Malfoys live. We will also see Harry, Ron and Hermione in the mortal world rather than the magical world for around half of the book such as Tottenham Court Road.

A note for Harry Potter fans, you will not see Harry, Hermione and Ron in Hogwarts anymore. There will be no Quidditch games, Fred and George's shop, love potion problems or even their friends although Neville and Luna appear in small roles. So, ""Deathly Hallows: Part 1"" is really dark than the previous films and there will be no happy moments. But, the movie will still have some jokes, funny ones to cheer up scenes which are too heart-breaking.

The movie will also see some emotional scenes that will show growth in the characters especially Ron. The relationship between Hermione and Ron would be a little bit threatened due to the quest and of course, a bit of Harry.

The performances by the actors and actresses actually match the Oscar standards I would say. Emma Watson shows growth in her acting and seemed confident than ever. Rupert Grint showed some growth in his acting too by the emotional scenes given. Daniel Radcliffe seemed even more confident but was a bit less in depth compared to the other two. Overall, the movie consists of remarkable acting performances. But, I would say the one who performed best was as always from the fifth film, Helena Bonham Carter or known as the wicked Bellatrix Lestrange. The acting was totally perfect not to mention the remarkable acting contribution from Imelda Staunton or better known as Dolores Umbridge.

Exciting and thrilling, I really enjoyed the film. It was dark, brilliant and perfect. Although a bit slow-paced, I still really enjoyed the film. I don't think it will disappoint any one even its book's fans. Even though the scenes were re-arranged while some excluded, it was still acceptable and as a reader of the book, I really appreciated the changes. So, book fans of the series, you wouldn't be too disappointed with the movie as the movie was loyal enough to the book. Also, the film ends with a horrifying scene related to Voldemort and it makes you have the creeps. But, that all ends in Part 2, doesn't it?

Thank you David Yates for creating a very dark and amazing film. Can't wait for Part 2!

Prince AJB's Score: 10/10

Thanks for reading my review on ""Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1"". Hope it's useful to you.",10
"OK before you get the beating stick out and start waving it about my head just let me get my 10 pence said first. Firstly 6/10 based on a few reasons, it was difficult to follow the names of people significantly involved, more use of their names would have been better to make the ending more understandable. Secondly it has Martin from Friday night dinner in as one of the main suspects, I couldn't take anything seriously without thinking to myself the common phrase of ""Martin for christ sake put a shirt on we have guests"" and also the druggie lad from skins!! This made the story a little less dramatic for me personally. Both fantastic actors but didn't have the ""real"" factor about it from episode one onwards. Lastly it wasn't long enough, I wanted to see more about the famalies that refused to stay, the tomb and the elephants foot..

All in all a good series, however could have been better. I would recommend to a friend, however ""for christ sake Jackie ill put a blood shirt on""",4
"Who rates these things?!...i can't believe somebody saw this nonsense and thought 8.7.

The narration is horrendous repetitive and unnecessary. The jokes are terrible the running soundtrack is annoying and there is no continuity. This show is garbage!!!

A side-note:producers should realize that narration is anti-art.",3
"Predictable and horrendous. The acting was terrible and the story was common and nonsense. The only exciting part about the movie was the very end when finally people were dying and it represented WW1. I highly doubt he met a strange woman with an abandoned child and I highly doubt any of this even happened. This movie was Saving Private Ryan, but boring and predictable.",1
"This movie is absolute garbage. I would rather be kicked in the testicles repeatedly while eating a turd sandwich then have to suffer through this monstrosity again. To clarify, I don't mean a sandwich that does not meet my expectations, we are talking about a sandwich made of poo. I do not understand how anyone could like this movie. I think more enjoyment could be found being sodomized and castrated at the same time. Oscar worthy? Not even close. If this movie was never made, I truly believe the world would be a better place. I wish I could give this movie a negative rating of one million to compensate for the dummies who rated this movie a ten. Wow, OMG, look at the shiny spaceship zoooooom 5 STARS, BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME! Anyway, I'm off to make a sandwich.",1
"You could cut out everything but the last fight scene and it would be a way better movie than it is. The story lacks, well, story. There's no plot. The subplots are pointless (Why was Margot Robbie's character in there?), most of the movie consists of scenes of movies the characters are filming, that, for the most part, lack any conflict whatsoever, the edition is rough, and way too noticeable, and there are too many shots that are just for nostalgia, and add nothing to the already lacking plot. I came in excited for this movie and I feel I wasted two and a half hours of my life. Wow.",5
"One of the cliche army movies based on a heavily biased story like with plenty of focus on ""national pride"" and super evil enemies (Pakistan). Complete waste of time, please stay away!",4
"I found this film overly self-indulgent and way over-confident. The film makers seem to assume you will revel in the (true) story, but the story isn't actually worth telling. Typical Wall Street wannabe makes a lot of money by being a gross a-hole. The men are all testosterone soaked crazed cocaine sniffing baboons. The women are all strippers or prostitutes. YAWN. DiCaprio is over rated, he is never 100% convincing in the role. And Robbie is blank when she isn't over acting. Jonah Hill on the other hand is a wonderful surprise, showcasing some rare talent in the only impressive role in the film.",4
"This show was an entry point for me to enter the world of Anime!

If anyone wants to start watching Anime but does not know where to start, well i recommend this show since this is short and crisp even including a few filler episodes.

I love the way they have evolved some characters over the episodes/seasons.

I fell in love with 2 characters in particular (Uncle Iroh and Toph) I also love the way the writers have concluded the series. Hats of to that thinking, to find the solution to the whole problem in an innovative way.

This is still one of my top 2 shows to watch in Anime section the other one being Naruto.

Its a must watch and highly recommended show!",10
This movie is so confusing. If flips back and forth from past to present way too frequently. I do not like this movie. It is so predictable for how the plot goes.,3
"Everything about this movie is so bad, especially the acting.

Matthew McConaughey's gruff ""whispering"" is particularly annoying - why do so many lead males nowadays try (and fail) to copy Clint Eastwood? And Michael Caine's ""parody"" of a NASA scientist almost made me laugh out loud.

All in all, the film is just Hollywood dross that starts badly then goes downhill from there. Avoid, if you value your time.",1
"American dramas used to contradict with Korean or Japanese dramas

as

Korean Dramas

Drama about Police = Love story with Polices

Lawyers = Love story with Lawyers

Students = Love story with Students

Japanese Dramas

Drama about Police = Moral Lesson with Polices

Lawyers = Moral Lesson with Lawyers

And Finally American Dramas

However, ""Lost in Space"" have shown that its contaminated what made American dramas great. Other than showing survival in outer world its trying to emphasize on ""Feminism?"" that womans are great?

Yep womens are great but the drama doesn't need to be focused on that matter.

Every episode there is a moment showing struggle between genders. Maternal overcoming Paternal. I am not sure i am being so sensitive to the matter. I hope so, since this means i'm the problem not the drama industry that creates best moments in entertainment.",6
"The fall of George Clooney is absolutely not realistic, there is no technical reason why he should fall away. Other blog's published a complete list of ""big errors"": locally some effect is realistic but the general picture is impossible (the several space stations involved in the movie move at a relative speed of several kilometers/sec, a satellite or a space station takes several days to fall down from the height of several hundreds kilometers, etc.). Anyway what really I could not stand were the poor story, the silly dialogs, the pleonastic and exaggerated recitation: it is a bad film, technics apart. The scene of Sandra Bullock on the lake shore, at the end of the film, reminded me the dying soldier/Peter Sellers with the trumpet in Hollywood Party (PS: she was not dying).",3
"This show defined my childhood I remember being allowed to watch for the first time at twelve and loving it. Even now as an adult I keep coming back to re-watch it again and again it never gets old and only gets better with time. This show is a timelessness classic that I am sure will entertain generations to come.

The world building in this show is phenomenal with the show writers drawing inspiration from many real world cultures when designing the bending styles, clothing, buildings, and general aesthetics for the nation's.

The show never fails to deliver on its themes tackling complex issues in a respectful manner in a way that is appropriate for children. You watch as the characters go through these issues themselves the show finds ways to incorporate these lesson organically so they never feel heavy handed or forced.",10

"The writing and interplay of characters is great, except for the tired love story between vampire and witch. And could Diana (Teresa Palmer) please show some emotion or interest in her rôle?",7
"It's not the greatest war movie of all time and it's certainly not the worst. The acting and script are decent, the action is also pretty good. It's let down by some very unrealistic scenes. The main characters travel's through no man's land and through enemy trenches don't seem to have a lot of continuity. He approaches a British battalion from the rear and no one bats an eyelid. Every German he comes across seems to have had no rifle training ect ect.

Fair effort though.",7
7 stars are ok for this show. Related with the medical field students. They enjoy very much.,7
Hollywood .... nothing new here ... same as the other comic book movies that have come out after end game ... let it dry up ! I'm sick of seeing super hero's.,1
Couldn't find why it got that high rating. How beautiful Scarlett was ...,6
"I genuinely don't see how this movie got 2 Oscar. I looked at the reviews before I watched and half way through I had to check and make sure I was watching the same movie!! This is complete and utter rubbish, I'm embarrassed to live around people who think this is good. It's not funny, I only laughed at how awfully the characters interacted (some of the worst put together pieces of dialogue ever to grace my screen, I don't know if you have to be American to understand some of this but the accents were too much, just tragic) and how laughably bad as a whole the film was.",5
"Should say in the titles ""very loosely based on the books...""

A good story if you haven't read the books but a bit of a disappointment if you have.

Fractured storyline with all the good bits from the books glossed over and new bits added that don't really fit.",5
This is your classic survival story about a group of people huddled in a house trying to escape an unknown phenomenon that causes suicidal tendencies. So you see them bickering and running from nothing. You don't see the phenomenon which is shown as light and wind. And the classic trying to reach the promised land trope has been done countless times so nothing original here. But it's still watchable if a bit familiar and disappointing and Sandra Bullock makes any movie great.,6
"While I would still say go for it, I must admit to being pretty disappointed by the end of the season. Things just got super predictable and the majority of the characters lack depth and genuine emotion that makes them quite frankly forgettable at best, and annoying at worst. Very stereotypical.

Five, hazel, and klaus were portrayed very well, especially Hazel. The mom also played her role well, and Pogo too I guess?...

And then there was the ""star""?... Ellen Page's performance really sunk the whole ship on this one... would probably be an 8 star without her... If anyone with any power in that production is listening, fire her and save us the grief and yourself the money. I had zero idea who she was before this series. I don't care about her sexual orientation, I generally like lesbians... I actually googled the actress because I found her ""romantic"" and her ""oh poor me"" performance to be beyond bland and yet her name was first in the list of the cast and I wanted to understand why. Still don't. What's going on here?. As the season progressed, for the first time in my life, I found myself not just thinking this was a bad actress, but this was a bad actress and I don't like this person. Her righteous indignation just annoys me. she thinks she's better than everyone lol

it's only five's performance and wondering about Hazel that got me through to end. Too bad. So much effort, and yet a fail when one replaceable person in the main role (someone likeable?... no? lol) could have changed everything.",4
Excellent acting from karthi and naren Lokesh kanagaraj did better than managaram,10
"Barbie is a delightful and creatively refreshing comedy that breathes new life into the iconic doll's world. From the moment the film began, I was captivated by its smart and subversive storytelling, which cleverly blends meta-humour with a dash of eccentricity.

The production design is a standout feature, a visually dazzling and wonderfully pink-themed universe. Margot Robbie's portrayal of Barbie is nothing short of impressive, skilfully capturing both the character's earnestness and humour. Her performance, combined with Greta Gerwig's skilful directing, makes for a truly entertaining and memorable experience.

Throughout the film, I found myself chuckling at the witty humour and enjoying the unexpectedly bold take on what Barbie represents. The movie strikes a fine balance between honouring the iconic brand and playfully challenging its conventions, resulting in a unique and rewarding cinematic experience.

While the film's intentions are commendable, there were moments when it felt like the themes could have been explored more deeply, leaving me slightly wanting more. Nonetheless, Barbie remains a fun and enjoyable ride, filled with charm and charismatic performances that made it stand out as one of the year's best comedies so far.

In the end, Barbie proves to be much more than just a marketing gimmick, showcasing a refreshing take on a beloved cultural icon and making it a must-see for anyone seeking a smart, humorous, and visually arresting cinematic adventure.",8
"Director loves to move the camera 24/7 giving normal viewers a big headache. He needs to learn manners, or else will keep getting 1/10 ratings.",1

Script and plot development suck to high heavens and in all dimensions: a collection of science BS, psyco-Babel and cheap, inconsistent emotional one shots.

"For the first time, somebody has ever been able to bring comedy from a cartoon into real film. Astounding! For the first time, somebody has ever been able to be provide a fantasy with Kung Fu in it. Fantastic! and for the first time, I was sitting and laughing and imagining and appreciating a movie that has every little flavour of cinema in it!

Awesome Movie with Fantasy and Comedy and Action and somehow its a Musical too. Stephen Chow is a remarkable Director and he has made a movie that can be watched again and again. ...i am still suffering from the pain infringed upon me laughing my head off....damn.!!!

The Actors, from Crocodile Gang Boss to The Beast had some really interesting characterisation, something different. Stephen Chow, that guy really does have a good comic timing, a good taste for decent comedy and he sure knows how to make a person laugh and not kill him in the process.

The Action scenes, again, too good. The Kung Fu displayed just keeps you hooked. You just watch and say, wish i were like them (very emotional moment for me). I could see CGI in the action, and it was a work well done. the CGI was astonishing and the smoothness of each frame... a taste to any creative's heart.

The Romance, hmm, was this missing somehow? Na, there was Romance too...but of all there is this cute mute girl who i wish where my girl friend. If anyone know her please tell her that i ""love"" her.

The Comedy, you have to watch it. Sheesh, Stephen Chow really does know how to get into a guy's heart. The Comics of the movie somehow reminded me of Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny and Pink Panther. He has just brought an animated cartoon into a real moving picture..wow..how did he do that? There is not a moment you can stop laughing except when the movie gets over...its crying time.

Then Sentiments, damn...this has that too? Yup, somehow it was there, but not very touching, i generally laughed over it too. Oops!

Then,hmm...is that it? i guess so! But truly a worth film, and if anyone says ""what just happened here"" kinda thing...break his bones, he doesn't deserve to see good cinema.

Stephen Chow, Well Done. You're the Master. Bring more movies like this....Please!",9
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier is not only a great sequel but perhaps the best standalone Marvel Studios film to date. I wasn't overly fond of the Captain's first feature, so my expectations weren't too high going into this one, but coming out I have to say The Winter Soldier isn't only a great superhero movie, but I'd even venture to say it may even be superior to The Avengers.

At the start of the film Steve Rogers (AKA Captain America) is still accumulating to modern life after having been frozen since WWII, and is working under the orders of Nick Fury and SHIELD. Already having doubts about SHIELD's motives and methods Rogers suddenly finds himself at the center of a conflict festering at the heart of SHIELD and must fight alongside other agents to stop a villainous plot to establish a new world order. Along the way he'll have to face a dark figure which may be connected to his past and decide what freedom truly stands for.

As a standalone feature The Winter Soldier is arguably the smartest Marvel Studios film to date. While still providing the fantastical set-pieces, humor, and over the top action spectacles one would expect from a Marvel film The Winter Soldier's antagonist is grounded in real-world fears, and possibilities. For this reason I felt more invested in the film's action than any other Marvel film to date. While movies like The Avengers and the first Iron Man were fun superhero romps The Winter Soldier actually feels like it is addressing real-world concerns regarding government secrecy and drone warfare in a way which made me feel invested in the characters, and the stakes they were up against.

The decision to make it an internal, spy-movie type struggle subdued the annoying question of: ""Where the hell are rest of the Avengers?!"" which constantly itched at me during Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World.

Then there's Rogers himself who truly defines himself as a superhero in this film. In his first outing and The Avengers Captain America always seemed like a wet blanket, coming across as a giant flag draped Boy Scout. While he was likable enough he never warranted in-depth analysis. That all changes in The Winter Soldier. Here Rogers' reflects on his past, question his own values and whether or not he can uphold them in this cloak and dagger modern world. His character-arc is well-told, and by the film's end credits the Captain had risen to become one of my favorite characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The Winter Soldier is the first standalone Marvel movie since the original Iron Man I've felt actually stood proud on its own two feet. While Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World had me saying ""Can't wait to see the next Avengers"" The Winter Soldier had me leaving the theater saying: ""I can't wait to see the next Captain America movie!"" For this reason I am giving my full recommendation for Captain America: The Winter Soldier!",9
Stay away from this junk of a film and save your money and 2 hours. I have never seen such an implausible wannabe action-fantasy in my life pretending to be a war film. It can only be a war film for the video game and marvel generation. A poor person's WW1 film. Watch Kubrick's 'Paths of Glory' instead - a real masterpiece verses this pile of garbage from an overrated filmmaker.,1
"Some movies dont need 1 or 10 rating bar.. they stand out..so does.. LUDO, A very good watch.. and leaves you with Feel Good Factor.. so many characters and bcoz of that..one can fall in the category and relate to ..one from the line up.. Amazing.. fun movie.. ..a must watch..",8

"You know though the film was beautifully made, after just watching this again what is scary to me is not the joker so much, what is scary is that the adult population in America has such a mentality that the material appeals to them in a way as if the emotional IQ of the American male is about three years of age, maybe four, and they buy this stuff.

Didn't the director of this version of Batman make the b.o. flop, Transcendence? Wasn't that film pilfered from William Thien's novel The Dream Chip? Why is Hollywood so afraid of this guy named William Thien and his novel The Dream Chip? Hollywood isn't entertainment, it's socialist, big government propaganda. One should not have to pay for propaganda. Six stars for being well made.",6
"Watched this for the first time, and whilst it's entertaining enough, I can't see why it's considered a classic. For me the best part is seeing New York pre gentrification. Prior to this I'd watched William Lustigs 'Maniac' from 1980, and enjoyed that just as much, and would consider it as good a film as 'Taxi Driver'.",6
The show has beautiful aesthetics that contribute to the story. Great choice of cast for the two lead roles and chemistry that reaches the audience. Some moments seem off at instances but the gripping story between the main characters will most likely hook you in anyway.,7
"Half the people I know liked the movie, the other didn't. I'm in the latter group. I'm not sure what it was that I missed that the first group picked up on, but I was bored with it. I felt it had a lot of lengthy, boring, scenes & dialog. I was unimpressed with the acting, not that it was bad but it just didn't grab me. I won't say not see it, but rather make up your own mind.

Many in this group liked it so check it out, you may be in the first half I talked about.",4
"I am known for my eclectic taste and a good sense of humour but this movie left me totally cold. I watched it for an hour, thinking perhaps I will ""get into it"" but though I did not hate it, I just felt unable to suspend my disbelief. Perhaps one needs to see it in a cinema where everyone enjoys that sense of shared enjoyment, but funny is funny, whether you are alone or not - and this movie was not funny. It does have mildly entertaining characters (the landlady is one) but overall I hardly smiled let alone laughed. Kung fu has never appealed to me but my daughter raved about this movie so I gave it a go. What a complete disappointment that an obviously talented director wastes time with this piffle!! I see now where Tarantino gets his inspiration-I have to say I enjoyed Kill Bill more than I thought I would and certainly more than this. The special effects in Kung Fu Hustle were excellent and I cannot fault the production values but it was IMHO a waste of time and talent.I have not read every post on this site but I would love to know the average age(or I.Q.) of the people who love this movie!!!",3
"What a nice movie. I never expected this movie to be this good. The trailers, the storyline all seemed like clichéd sex comedies, like American Pie. and surprisingly, Superbad has none of that crap. Its a wonderful story about friendship and well about sex alright, but without any of it!

Jonah Hill is amazingly funny as Seth and so is Christopher Mintz-Plasse as McLovin. The whole cast is good and the script is brilliant. Superbad's funnier than other teen sex comedies and way more genuine.

If you want to see great movie about teens, their blunders, and their sex and have a good laugh along the way..go watch Superbad!",9

"Season 1 was a solid 7. Jumped a bit. Decent writing and acting. Messy but fun to watch.

Season 2.. so surprising.. so much better. No jumps, lot better writing and acting. Really nice.

"There have been many occasions in the past where I've looked at movies the Oscars think are best picture (Birdman, Moonlight) and wondered what they were seeing that I wasn't. But not even close to the bewilderment I felt over this.

Apparently, there is some intergalactic conflict, and some hapless owner of a laundromat and her family are drawn into it. That sets the stage for an unrelenting, almost nauseating, set of colourful, hyperkinetic scenes that also manage to be rather boring.

I guess that buried deep in there is a message about accepting life and finding pleasure in the small things, and another message about accepting gay persons, which is fine, but it's been done better in so many movies. I guess the people who made this movie thought wrapping it inside some sci-fi adventure/acid trip would make more of an impact? I don't know.

In any case, this movie did not even come close to deserving the accolades it received. And it pains me to say this, but Jamie Lee Curtis getting an Oscar for this is absurd. Her part is tiny and took less talent than her role in the original Hallowe'en.

This movie proves my theory that you should wait several months for a movie to come out, read the most recent reviews, and you'll find the truth about a movie, not the early reviews whos objectivity is questionable.

This movie was a '2' but I am giving it a '3' for some of the visuals and a couple of interesting martial arts sequences.",3
"At one point in Director Sam Raimi's ""Spider-Man 2"", Peter Parker's Aunt May (wonderfully played by Rosemary Harris) says of heroes:

""...I believe there's a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady, and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams.""

This nature or distinction of hero is what really resonates and distinguishes ""Spider-Man 2"". A hero resonates across cultures. He or she is distinguished by courage, selflessness, nobility, honor, and most of all-- heart. Whether or not the hero in this case wears a red and blue spider suit to save others, what matters is the inherent greatness of the individual in action. Hero is to the soul. Toby Maguire as Peter Parker/ Spider-Man embodies the possibility of the hero in all of us. Maguire has such a humanity about him, and is so commanding in his stillness and calm. His understated performance choices punctuates Peter Parker's courage and compassion. Along with Sam Raimi's masterful direction, and Alvin Sargent's character and plot driven screenplay, ""Spider-Man 2"" is compelling work. I think that it is better than ""Spider-Man', and one of the best movies of the year. ""Spider-Man 2"" also has a more evolved love story between Peter (Maguire) and Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst) which really works. And of course the CGI effects are phenomenal.

This time around the storytelling is not so linear. Peter (Maguire) is burning out as Spider-Man. He has forsaken his love for MJ (Dunst), aware that if he revealed his love for her, her life would be endangered by his enemies. Consequently, Peter is suffering. The new enemy is Doc Ock (a compelling Alfred Molina), who because of a tragic fusion experiment becomes fused to deadly mechanical tentacles. Though the villain, Doc Ock is not entirely evil. Originally Dr. Otto Octavius is a good man who falls victim in the pursuit of his dreams to transform the world. This is a wonderful touch. Molina is effective in retaining his character's vestige of idealism throughout. Also returning in 2, is a charismatic James Franco as Harry Osborn, who has sworn vengeance on his father's ""murderer"", Spider-Man. Along the way, Harry and Dr. Ock form an unholy alliance against... Spider-Man.

Sam Raimi is a master storyteller. His narrative style is powerful, compelling, and has a sense of humor. The action sequences and CGI effects are visually stunning. The scene in which Spider-Man attempts to save passengers on a runaway train is simply awesome. The romance between Peter and MJ is very touching. Raimi also provides some dramatic surprises. Toby Maguire's performance as Peter gives Spider-Man 2 its soul. As Peter, he is doing this best ""to be steady"", sacrificing what he wants most, and being true to the part of himself that is hero. A hero is one that inspires those around him or her to greatness. So a hero reminds us of the very best in ourselves-- the part that is compassionate, courageous, and noble.

"If you are not aware of Civils Services Exam conducted every year by UPSC,India. Then let me tell you it's the countries if not of the world's toughest exam. Every year approximately 10 lakh aspirants take this exam and only 1000 approximately get through the final selection and go on to become the top bureaucrats of the country.

This short series revolves around the life of five such aspirants. In past also several attempts had been made to depict the life civils aspirants but none has come closer to show it better than the TVF's aspirants. It's beautiful and emotional at the same time. Must watch.",8

"Truly an antidote to Marvel and Co.

Having American super heroes forced down our throats 24/7 is so tiring. But out of nowhere comes this gem of a show, which shows us the grimy under belly of being a super hero and its great and liberating, and maybe we can all rethink the role of America in the world.

So yes this is a relief from the never ending train of films this is so much welcome relief. It's not for kids and I love the choice language which is appropriate.

The only reason why I changed it from 10 to 9 is because of Kripke's over fascination with Jensen Ackles - please can someone stop him from taking all his Supernatural cast and placing them in this production.",9
"I don't think I've ever seen a more shameless display of shallow, brain-dead, commercialized nonsense in my life. Actually I thought Ready Player One was excessive, but this is just straight up bizarre.

Disney is once again swinging their massive c*** and slamming it on the table for everyone to ogle at. Sure it's big, but it's as flaccid. It has no mental penetration power. There is nothing noteworthy or memorable in it.

Ryan Reynolds is a charming fellow, but he can't save this movie from flushing itself down the drain, to join all the other liquid s*** movies down there.

Everything about the experience of Free Guy feels completely artificial.",2
"The action opens with the Indian Army convoy ambush by the NSCN terrorists in Manipur in 2015. The bullets sound shriller in the untouched beauty of the north-eastern state. While this has been routine in Naxal / Terror infested areas of India for some time now, the hot pursuit of these elements into Myanmar is new. This sets the tone for the film apart from establishing Major Vihaan Shergill (Vicky Kaushal) as a celebrated special forces officer with a reputation for great planning and execution in the field.

The movie unfolds into a straight narrative of the Uri attacks and India's response in the form of a surgical strike on terror launch pads in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. The film excels in that all aspects of film-making here are in the service of the story. The dialogue writing is crisp and relatable. The movie speaks like regular army soldiers / officers would, occasionally overtly patriotic but seldom jingoistic. The editing is very tight and the story doesn't lag at all. In fact one feels it is shorter than the average Bollywood film which at 127 minutes it is not. The background score is effective without calling attention to itself. The music / songs add a lot to the atmosphere of the film especially because it is used in just the right quantity and at the right moments.

It makes a lot of points very subtly. In the CCS (Cabinet Committee on Security) meeting, a character throws an aside about the terrorists being the enemy and not the Pakistani people but a limited war is still an option. These are just the realities of the situation and not an ideological dove vs hawk divide. Women play a key part at the highest level both in combat and non-combat roles. But they are treated as officers like anybody else. No artificial Patriarchy vs. Feminism divide here. Muslims playing key roles in the attack in PoK is simply a reflection of the reality of the Indian Army. The simple fact that the script does not call attention to it does more service to the non-communal nature of the armed forces than any chest-beating could. It is a fact and is treated as such. The terrorists do not hesitate to kill another Muslim defeating their whole argument of Jihad and reducing this to cynical powerplay. The film does not throw this in your face but moves on with its storytelling hoping you will notice it. Organisations like ISRO and DRDO are referred to and their key contribution to the defence establishment and some foibles are depicted equally effortlessly. A lot of films in the past have been consumed by the controversy of some of these points and feel obligated to take positions once way or the other. Uri succeeds in that it treats a lot of them as non-issues in its telling of the story.

It also avoids the trap of depicting the adversary as a bumbling idiot. Pakistan's intelligence and defenses are shown to be quite competent including the terror camps. While the operation itself succeeds with little real tension of the Indian forces facing a setback (a reflection of how it really went), it is simply because of the completely unexpected gambit and some luck. There was a very real possibility of it going the other way. In fact the Uri attack itself was very successful from a Pakistani viewpoint possibly due to similar reasons. That does not mean the India defenses are not strong but simply that reality has innumerable variables with a lot of them not really in anybody's control and every player does their best to get the most optimum outcome.

The film goes about its business with military precision with few wasted words or emotions but it has a very human core. The question of a serving officers responsibility to his own family and the family's forbearance in the face of tragedy are shown with a lot of heart. The stoic exterior is not because of a lack of emotion but despite a lot of it. As an anguished wail of the battalion's motto by Major Karan's daughter is answered by the battalion, Major Vihaan's choked war cry carries more feeling then lengthy monologues or entire movies do sometimes.

The acting is very competent by all of the cast. Paresh Rawal, Yami Gautam et al deliver very reliably which is what the need here is. However, the script does revolve around Major Vihaan with most of the key dialogues delivered by his character. And Vicky Kaushal does it justice portraying the Major in a wonderfully nuanced manner. The best part of his depiction of the role is that he continues to operate in the framework of the film by being frugal with his words but not his emotions. I feel it is harder to add nuance to a relatively non-complex character and that's what he succeeds at beautifully.

This is a movie that will bear the scrutiny of repeated watching and while it may not attain the cult status of Border (a breakthrough when it came), it is a very worthy follower of the War film tradition.",9
"To quote Arnold Rimmer, ""I thought it was the worst pile of blubbery school-girl mush I've ever been compelled to endure. I consider it an insult to my backside I was forced to sit here growing carbuncles through such putrid adolescent slush.""

How this steaming pile made it to 8.9 stars on IMDb seriously eludes me. The writing was cliché and riddled with plot holes, the pacing was agonizingly slow, and with the exceptions of Winona Ryder and Millie Bobby Brown, the acting was beyond cringe-worthy across the board. As we slogged through season 1, my wife and I said repeatedly to ourselves, ""This has *got* to start getting good at some point,"" but it never made it there. It didn't even come close to the hype we'd been fed. By the end, we threw up our hands in despair and bewilderment at its popularity.

To be fair, the one redeeming quality was how the production design captured the '80s look and feel, which we have to admit was done exceptionally well.

Beyond that, I fail to see why virtually everyone seems to have embraced this series as Netflix's preeminent title, especially in the face of such mastery that House of Cards brings to the table. I'm normally very forgiving about my entertainment, so I rarely say this, but I honestly feel cheated out of the time I spent watching this drivel.

So, for those of you all excited about season 2, I can say only this: I sincerely hope you find it as enjoyable as season 1, and may God have mercy upon your benighted souls!",3
"Walk into this film, not completely knowing what to expect but came out pleasantly surprised. Good set designs a lot of good shots throughout the film. Pretty solid humor throughout the film. So overall good experience. But now, in terms of casting Margot Robbie was a great choice for Barbie, but man does Ryan gosling really steal the show almost makes me wish he was in more comedies. Will Ferrell also makes an appearance and there's a pretty good job. And in terms of the overall message definitely wasn't as preachy as most people put it out to be. So I don't think the overall message was as bad as some people had it out but overall a fan film would recommend.",7
Done full justification in presenting the incident of Uri...,9
In summary this is a mellenial in the wrong era. Any mellenial born in the ice age would not survive. So if you go in throw your common sense out the window or you'll instantly give it a 1. The panoramic scenes though were amazing and cross border magnificent. Just not enough to warrant a movie a 5 or above.,4

"I dont know what it is with modern films, they start off very interesting and then fall from the meaningful to the pathetic half way through, this is exactly the same, good start, awful middle and ending.

I suppose the unique thing that sets this apart from other horrors is that at times its just as foggy in the house as it is outside, and if thats your thing, then your in for a real treat.",1
"Although a far, far cry from the cheeseball shoe days of Tommy Lee Shoes, Jim 'sneakers' Carry and Big Boots Arnie camping it up as the bad guys and their shoes, I still had a problem engaging with this film. Not sure why. Maybe there were too many characters and not enough Batman shoe action (I mean, you've got Morgan Oldman, Gary Gyllenhall, Maggie Oldman, Heath Dale, Michael Ledger and Christian Caine to keep track of and that's only the actors who's name I can remember with absolute clarity just now). Also, the film is about seven hours long and very little of it involves footwear. Also: Eric Roberts – forgot about him and his white spatz.

This time the heavily convoluted non-shoe story involves the triumvirate of policeman Gary Oldman, lawyer Harvey Dent, and The Batman trying to take down the mafia by hitting shoes warehouse through Gotham while trying to protect the legit shoe industry. They confiscate this huge shipment of shoes but there a jackboot amongst the plimsoles in the form of the Cobbler, who's nuts and keeps asking people how they think he got his shoes. It's up to Batman etc to sort this guy out but to be honest there's an old saying that goes ""The craziest shoes wins the day"" and by all accounts the Cobbler, even though he says he's an agent of Chaos, is the most Organised and pre-planning criminal since the killer in Se7en(shoes).

Batman here is all caught up in some sort of shoe triangle with local lawyer/nike designer Harvey Dent and Maggie Gyllenhall's deck shoes, which leads to all sorts of redundancy when they could have been concentrating on stitching and designer laces. The Cobbler however is playing all sorts of crazy games, replacing shoes with loaves of bread, tying people laces together and looking like Robert Smith of the Cure far too much for his own good.

Maybe I'm too much of a shoe fan and not enough of a loads of characters fan, but I found this a bit of a slog. I am also confused by Bales (or Dale?) dropping his voice several thousand octaves every time he was Batman. I did like the bit where the Cobbler set fire to his share of the mafia shoes and then sailed down the East River in a giant Doc Martin while drinking champagne from a stiletto heel.",5
"The visuals of the film are amazing in 3d, watched it yesterday and the whole time in the cinema i didn't take my eyes off the screen. I thought the story could have been better and would have liked to have felt a bit more atmosphere of being lost in space in the film rather than Sandra bullocks sob story about her kid, which started to annoy me a little, especially when she was talking about finding her shoe and talking to herself, i would have liked to have seen more fear and claustrophobia instead to give the viewer a real sense of being lost in space.

No matter what the story line is like the visuals make up for, just make sure you watch it in 3d to get the best possible experience.",7
I expected more battle scenea and action. It was a slight disappointment.,7
"I really love this one! I think I watched the first season in two days, but because each episode is only like 20 minutes. Acting is well-done and believable. The story is inventive. It can also be very funny, often in a dark way.

The second season is just as great as the first, with the same flavor, humor, and great characters to empathize with/relate to. It also has drama, and this series can teach us some about life. This whole series is simply amazing. I'm sad it won't be coming back for another season.",9

"The Greatest Showman had promise - it failed with the Broadway musical approach.

Sets were constructed as if for a broadway stage (low budget and poorly executed by movie theater standards). Musical numbers were catchy and relatively good, but did not fit the movie or the venue.

The bottom line is this - if I want to see a Broadway play, I will go to New York City and see a broadway play. I do not want to see a Broadway play on my local movie theater screen. (Fences was a perfect example of this failure, and now The Greatest Showman is added to that list!)",4
"This movie was a little to jumpy. By this i mean it skipped around a lot and i couldn't really follow it to well. but this movie was great for the action pieces of it. Heath was perfect for this character because he put on the ""the face"" instead of the act. When you first watch it you get this feeling of thrill and excitement. the characters put on a show that you will enjoy and want to come back to but they also have a lot of a little bit too much emotion for my liking. But the way they take the scene that they are in to heart and put their all into it so good for a movie of this standard Also the explosions where on point",6
"The Marvel Cinematic Universe's newest action extravaganza proves once again that the MCU can create a masterpiece of superhero cinema. Much courage and loyalty is put into this film by the writers and directors, and it shows. Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely's decision to delve deeper and darker into the plot, thus exploring thought-provoking themes like revenge, friendship, and betrayal, work wonderfully. Also the work of the directors, Joe and Anthony Russo, provide for large amounts of emotion in the dialogue and intensely gratifying fight scenes filmed at the right angle. This is not your typical superhero flick with action and an interesting plot, it is a movie that pits incredible set-pieces and choreography against life-changing choices, while throwing superheroes into the mix. At its core this film acts as three movies combined: a sequel to ""Captain America: The Winter Soldier,"" a semi part three Avengers movie, and the introductions of popular characters Black Panther and Spider-Man. This film is guaranteed to satisfy casual movie goers, Marvel fan boys, and the toughest critics to please.

Marvel has once again changed the way superhero movies are to be filmed. With their superior and supremely creative executive producer Kevin Feige at the helm, also a large array of visionary directors and writers, and a more-than capable cast, Marvel seems to have a record of this. Starting with their original movie ""Iron Man"" which kick-started the universe, to their excellently crafted team up ""The Avengers,"" and others such as political thrillers and space sagas like ""The Winter Soldier"" and ""Guardians of the Galaxy,"" the MCU has always enticed audiences. This is certainly the case with ""Captain America: Civil War"" as they continue this trend of newly crafted and original films. Not only does Kevin Feige bring something new to the MCU table, but he also considers the repercussions of the Avenger's actions while delivering a psychological thriller dealing with political interference, which splits the sides of the Avengers in two. Another superhero film at Warner Bros. Studios attempted a plot similar to this (""Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice"") but ultimately failed. It seems like Marvel has observed and payed attention to their rivals at DC and took some notes as to the right film-making strategy. All joking aside, Marvel Studios has clearly made a spectacular film that constantly keeps your brain moving, whether it be the incredible action scenes or the perceptions and viewpoints of every hero.

There are many examples in ""Captain America: Civil War"" that signifies that Marvel Studios has a firm grasp on their heroes and plot. The first instance is the phenomenal action sequences in this film. From Black Panther versus Bucky to the New Avengers Team versus Crossbones to the titular and praiseworthy airport battle, the choreography in this film is definitely spectacular. The second example is the mind blowing ideals of all the heroes. Every superhero in this film gets valid screen time to demonstrate their views on the matter, and in this way there is really no main villain. This movie creates so much emotion within their characters and conflicts that affects the audience in turn. The third and last case are the ambitious entries of beloved Marvel heroes Spider-Man and Black Panther. The way that these two characters fit almost flawlessly into the plot instead of being shoehorned in is quite a fete. Black Panther definitely has the advantage over Spider-Man in the way that his character is more involved and better introduced in the plot, but Marvel still successfully pulls it off. Laying the groundwork for further hero's solo outings is a strategy that Marvel has done in the past. While most times it works pretty well, in this film it works terrifically. Even at the beginning of the year, it can be said that ""Captain America: Civil War"" will be one of the best films of the year, and that Marvel Studios has pulled off a rather gutsy and ambitious move.",10
"Finally stepped into the Barbie-verse with my wife and sons. The film is both simple and ambitious, which deftly allowed us to enjoy on a variety of levels. Probably best for you to see this before too long, and before you hear too much (indirectly or incorrectly) about the film imho.

Plenty of humor, cinematography and music. Notably the humor is often taking a good look in the mirror and then making a self-deprecating joke. That is quite a trick mirror for the old notion of Barbie. All four in our family shed a few tears at times, the film's plastic fantastic elastic aspects cast aside, there's a sweet heart beating beneath it all.

I'm not just talking about the ""you go girl"" vibe that one would expect and is definitely delivered. Ryan Gosling's Ken-ergy steals scenes but will he steal the vote in Barbieland? Personally, I don't buy the idea of this as an anti-man movie.

Yet it is a feminist movie, built from a base of durable individuality.

Another trick turned by this new Barbie is to take the old production line uniformity and humanize each of the many Barbies in this film. And yes, even Alan too!

Tempted to title this review as ""God Bless America"" as America Ferrera nails the most vital message here in a wonderful monologue. Ferrera really is excellent in this. The movie could become a Mother's Day tradition in a lot of homes.

You can find that monologue online along with so many other intricacies that went into this film, like who the lovely lady at the bus stop is in real life, and the fact that Margo Robbie via her Lucky Chap company chose Greta Gerwig and not vice-versa. That was a Frances A-Ha moment for me!

The last line of the film was a different kind of a-ha moment, a touch or two of humor but also maybe the one uniting aspect for a very diverse Barbie-verse of feminists.",8
"If you read The Outsider, you know what a great story it was. A crime story that spins into the supernatural as only Steven King can do. Having read the book, there's no reason to watch this quagmire. They stay on the story through episodes 1,2 then veer off into someones ridiculous adaptation starting with episode 3. The whole thing from episode 3 on is full of new characters and scenarios that are only there for shock value. The huge omissions of plot lines and characters are ridiculous. Much like Under The Dome, this story becomes a dumb, messy show filled with bus crashes, prison murders, police shootings and character actions that are all totally unnecessary. The book doesn't need all this extemporaneous nonsense and the series shouldn't either.

Don't watmste your time, read the book.",3

An amazing storyline and the characters are entertaining. The music is great and I give the show a 10/10. The show is very interesting and not at all what i expected but it's even better. I really hope there will be a lot more upcoming seasons from this show. And at last the details are amazing.,10
"A life-long fan of Basil Rathbone's classic portrayal of Sherlock Holmes, I had my reservations about Robert Downey Jr.'s interpretation of the character, particularly with Guy Ritchie directing (let's not forget that the man was responsible for turning Vinnie Jones into a movie star!).

As expected, this 21st century reinvention of Conan Doyle's great detective bears very little resemblance to any previous movie incarnation, Downey Jr. playing the sleuth as a scruffy, smug, loutish, and reckless brawler, while sidekick Watson (Jude Law) is considerably smarter—and handier with his fists—than Nigel Bruce ever was.

Seeing the usually dapper detective and the equally eminent doctor portrayed in such manner is hard to come to terms with, but wasn't a deal-breaker for me—I can appreciate a new spin on an old theme—but the asinine script and unnecessarily flashy direction sadly was. An illogical, plot-hole ridden piece of guff, the film is peppered with juvenile humour and heavily stylised action set-pieces in a desperate effort to try and detract from the many weaknesses and flaws in the narrative, which start with a highly implausible fake execution and become more and more strained as the movie progresses.

As a piece of mindless popcorn nonsense, I guess this fares no worse than many a modern Hollywood blockbuster, but as a case for the finest crime-busting mind the world has ever known, it's far from brilliant.",5
"An interesting ""Watchmen"" knock off with a well-rounded plot that substitutes gratuitous gore in place of tangible human emotion.",6
"I was excited to see this, as I've seen good press and family have said it's really good.

I was so disappointed I wanted to leave in the first 20 minutes. The person I was with wanted to stay. So I saw every last pathetic minute of this absolute trash that the studios are deadset on putting out just to make a buck.

I was told it's better than the original. It's often worse.

I remembered one of the great elements of the original was the aerial photography. I thought this would have waaaay more and better aerial photography. IT HAD LESS?!?! HOW DOES THAT WORK????

This is another soulless cash-grab. Watching this movie, I wondered if a Transformers movie might be better.

I hated this movie. The original is not great, but it's better.",3
"There's a whole lotta truth in ""American Fiction"". A funny, sad, satirical look at ""giving the people what they want"".

The main character, ""Monk"", is an author and writing professor whose books haven't been very profitable. He's African American, but doesn't write from the white-people approved stereotypical African American POV. His family doesn't fit that mold either. He meets another African American author who has written a best-selling debut novel that totally plays into those stereotypes. He hates the book and hates the fact that it is being completely devoured by people who only seem to enjoy reading about African Americans when they fit into their not-so-subtle bigoted stereotypes. His frustration and disgust lead him - using a pseudonym - to write his own book that plays on those stereotypes. And boy....does he ever!

While all of this is going on in his professional life, he's also struggling with personal issues. He's estranged from his brother, and rarely talks with his sister & mother. There's a lot going on with Monk. We watch as he tries to hold on to his personal values, and mend old relationships while beginning a new one. Oh - and hopefully become a successful, and not just a published, author. Be sure to watch until the end credits start rolling. The ending (endings?) is great.",10
"Caught this film last week and have to say I didn't think it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, but Johnny Depp and his over the top campy performance delighted me. It was worth seeing just because of him. I like that Depp chooses unusual, frequently non mainstream films, I think he is a decent actor. His facial expressions in this movie were priceless and I giggled through much of it. My suggestion..wait for it to come to cable tv, but enjoy it when ya want to just relax and have a little fun.",5
"The production value is an easy 9.

But that's about all it has going for it.

It's basically a solo story about young Daenerys Targaryen in another time, without calling it that. (Think baby Yoda that's not baby Yoda, or Mandorlorian that's not Boba Fett, etc. Holding true to contemporary creativity'.) She was never in my top 10 favorite characters from the original.

On top of that, it doesn't have any multiple story arcs, no writing to make you love/hate each character, none of Martin's political tongue and cheek, etc.

It's GoT - without what made it GoT.

Solid Disney-esque money grab by HBO.

People will see through it, eventually.

"I honestly have to say that I'm not sure if I've ever seen another series this entertaining. It has the slick feel of a movie, with some twists that even good movies can't compare with. I was repeatedly exasperated, shocked, and fearful for the characters.

Don't be fooled by some people's comments that implied the ""real-time"" gimmick is what makes this show innovative, because it's actually just an incredibly well done series. The idea that the series takes place in a 24 hour period simply heightens the intensity.

Buy Season 1 on DVD. It makes my other favorite series (Oz, Sopranos, X-Files) look slow.",8

"Really enjoyed the first and the second season. Third season is a big letdown and thumbles into the fields of soap operas. Even the directing isn't true to the shows core. Last two episodes directed by Ed Bianchi are so full of awkward close ups and comical angles that I'm pretty sure he had the smallest monitor in the world on his set when he was directing. The cast was really great, but the writing and directing was ment for a different show, there was nothing that the actors could have done. The show is strong 8 stars for season 1-2 and 5 stars for season 3 - watchable, but wouldn't watch it again.",8
Four different stories converging in an Interesting format with twists and turns. A dark comedy with nice ending. Worth watching.,9

"*A Beautiful Mind*

This film is the most over rated film of 2001. I don't know how on earth it won best picture, director, and nomination for best actor. I just can't believe it.

I saw the real John Nash on Larry King the other day and let me tell you his accent is nothing like the thing Russelle Crowe tried to do. What kind of accent was Crowe using anyways? Sure Jennifer Connelly did great but she wasn't supporting, she was lead actress! That just shows the members of the academy didn't really see this movie they just gave into the hype and voted on it.

I love movies of all genres. I loved Forest Gump. I should love a movie like this, but I don't. As far as I saw it was just hype. There is nothing special bout this movie. It's just a film with big name actor backed up by hype galore. I still can't believe it won so many awards...

This movie was very funny - the scene with Ken and the doctor in LA made me laugh very hard. It's weird and inventive. It has amazing choreography. So many talented people worked on this. I didn't grow up with Barbies so I'm sure a lot of the jokes went over my head. But it didn't hurt the enjoyment. It even manages to land a sentimental note at the end. I can definitely see this being a movie people see over and over.

Side note: Greta Gerwig must be a fan of Sex Education - three actors end up here.",8
"This show is nothing special. If you see it expecting something near The Avengers... think twice. This is a formulaic series with a touch of Whedon. Agent Coulson is not THAT good to turn it into a leading character, he's OK for some minutes in a major movie telling some silly joke but nothing more. The other characters have charisma zero, they should kill them all and start anew. About the story: its very simple and direct, including a speech at the end that is ""interesting"". For someone like me, seeing GoT and Mad Men this is like watching Casablanca and then Spongebob Squarepants.

I'll give it a 4/10 right now, but it has the potential to go even lower.

I really enjoy fantasy stories and greatly enjoyed the underlying idea of this series but sadly most of the scenes and text were just noise, no attachment to the trunk. I'd have given it a lower score had the two leads not been as great as they were.",3
"The kind of movie my Dad would've enjoyed. You know what you're getting going in. Sit back, relax, and escape. Of the films I've seen in the last couple weeks this one would rate third. Those others were Gunless & Kick-Ass. As Whiplash, Mickey Rourke made the film for me. I have been a fan of Rourke's for a long time and, even though he's not at his strongest as Whiplash, he makes the character fun. Special credit to the Marvel team for bringing the Whiplash costume to cinematic life.",7
"I'm so impressed. I haven't been stricken with genuine horror and a deep feeling of dread watching a movie in so long. I am at that point in my life where I thought horror just wasn't going to do it any more, but this movie proved me wrong. Literally reignited my childhood paranormal phobia and made a cat in someones window jump scare me on the walk home. Totally fresh and unique concept with lore that has you hooked and wanting to know more. It's simplicity with no desire to wrap things up nicely or follow a simple horror formula really worked in its favour. Sound design was amazing and so sharp, in the cinema you're gonna flinch. The soundtrack was just so cool too. Just watch this in the cinema if you can please, you're in for a treat.

I am so eager to see where the promise of this director goes.

"Forgetting Sarah Marshall is about a man named Peter whose actress girlfriend, Sarah ends up dumping him for another guy. Because they were together for five years and because of Peter's love for Sarah, he is crushed by this news. He starts off by moping about his house and soon his job which leads to his stepbrother suggesting he take a vacation to clear his mind and forget about Sarah. Peter gives in and soon he is in Hawaii for a mini vacation. To make things awkward though, Peter runs into Sarah, who is also vacationing in Hawaii with her new boyfriend which makes Peter even more depressed until he strikes up a relationship with the clerk at the hotel he is staying at named Rachel. Running into each other frequently, Peter tries to forget about Sarah and start things with Rachel, but things may prove to be a tad more difficult as he has a hard time adjusting to the break up and Sarah's new boyfriend. I really wanted to like Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and while I didn't hate it, it didn't particularly wow me either. I found little to no humour in the film and when it tried to be funny, I found the jokes to be stale and some of the same material got repeated several times which just got to be tiresome and boring after awhile. I also really couldn't identify, or like any of these characters because most of them got on my nerves with their constant whining and self loathing. I also found the characters to be really into themselves and self indulgent which made it even harder to like them and identify with them and find pleasure in watching them. I guess there were a few moments where the creativity peaked, but mostly the film didn't feel particularly new, or anything worth raving about. The performances while not bad, couldn't really save the film either from just being a mediocre film that could have been a lot better. When you have a comedy that isn't particularly funny, inventive, or when the characters grate on your nerves, you know it isn't going to be a hit movie and Forgetting Sarah Marshall was certainly no hit in my books.",7
"A Restless hero with a crew consists of a master technician, a computer genius and a badass female co-spy.

A moral villan who speaks in quotes and thinks he is a necessary evil. Who accompanied by a beefy second villain to fight with the hero in the climax.

A dispute between the various spy agencies and an always chasing domestic police which is French. Not to mention the fight for authority. A sacrificial haed of the agency. Poor Alec Baldwin.

A meeting, the imposter face printing machine, convoy, abduction and the two hours to go timeline.A lead who can sprint endlessly and jumping buildings, a magnificent high altitude scene, a fight with the over powering second villain.

At last the world is saved by Ethan Hunt.

It's like every other MI movies. Did I miss anything? But the screenplay is where they win us over. Bits and pieces of elements of surprises make us go wooooo hooooo. Even though it's predictable yet still feel fresh by the way it was shown. The usual crew who has every bit of charm that need for us to love them. There is enough we already know about them. I absolutely love Tom Cruises facial expressions when the other people thinks his actions ridiculous or crazy.

Swapped Clarke Kent instead of Clint Barton. Henry Cavill is the new addition which was well suited and cool in a way. Gave the Superman hype here and there but ended up as Harvey Dent atlast. Half burnt face and death by falling from heights.

Rebecca Ferguson melted my heart on multiple occasions (crazy for badass women). As usual Simon Pegg is the fun factor who made the audiences laugh.

I like Sean Harris as Solomon Lane. Calm and collected. Did his part flawlessly. A genuine type of character. Lorne Balfe did some things with brilliance. I had to mention it. It added so much to the movie. I liked the way he played with the original theme.

Also I loved the minimalistic & occasional mutes during some fight scenes especially in the bathroom scene. Noiseless rendition made it seem like they were fighting genuinely. Pure action with some breath-taking stunts which makes the movie so unique. Obviously it will be lot easier when you get an adrenalin junkie like Tom Cruise as the lead.

Car & Bike chase scenes were awesome. Ethan spent a hell lot of time in the automobiles.

They corporated everything with previous Ethan Hunt's experiences in the movie like hiking a mountain as showed in the start of the second movie.We too will get the question when Henry asks Ethan ""Will you ever not die?""",5
"The non humans are so much stronger that if they decided to storm shield all the team member would be wipe out.

The script writer should do a better job in balancing the power out.

Also the distrust and bickering among-st the shield team is enough of self destructive momentum.

They don't need others to destroy them - weak minded and distrustful bunch.

Their defenses are weak and each of the shield members are easily manipulated and will turn on their own team at the drop of a pin.

The show is pathetic. These group should have died long ago.",3
"The production value of the Netflix Original Series ""Lost in Space"" is very good. The casting is excellent, but the story is flawed. The series has unnecessary interpersonal issues between the Robinsons that distract from the adventure. And the story feels like a few spitball ideas stitched together rather than a single imaginative creation. Netflix's ""Lost in Space"" is another example of attractive casting going to waste on flawed writing. I blame this on the difference between the way actors and writers come into prominence. Actors win praise as they showcase their talents and rise accordingly. Writers are selected out of a caste for the weight of their credentials and their subsequent successes. These calculating writers tend to overthink a story. The fiction TV and movie industries are stuffed with these literary tacticians who have no imagination. I blame this on the BUSINESS in SHOW BUSINESS. Fiction storytelling in the TV and movie industries is akin to fast food in the culinary industry-make it fast and cheap. Acting is evolving. Writing is devolving. You can't teach talent. Story is King. Horatio Jaxx",6
"I don't normally write reviews but looking at the 'This is a true masterpiece' type of reviews I thought I would balance it out a bit.

Inception is a good film, the special effects are simply stunning and the acting very good indeed.

The plot however is quite weak, and gets a bit lost and muddled towards the end.

Many people think that because the plot appears complicated you have to watch it very carefully or twice. Not true the plot is very simple, and I found the film easy to follow, in fact after the first 30 Min's, me and my mates could easily predict what would happen - and indeed it did happen.

All in all a good film, its the best I have seen this year. However very predictable and not really that clever.",1
"The shot in Havana where Michael realizes Fredo betrayed him and he covers his face in grief is chilling. Godfather II gets better everytime I watch it. The locations, Al Pacino, John Cazale, that sleazy senator, and the cast were amazing..",7
"Season 2 Witcher causes the most negative emotions. The first season was not the best film adaptation, but it could be watched, he gave at least some bright emotions. For the first season, it was demolished, despite the budgeting and inappropriate actors (Netflix, on the other hand). But the second season is already a transition to the section of comedy and bullying of the original source. I have not read all the books, I have not even finished the first part of the game franchise, but it hurts me to look at the characters and lore so bullied. Season 3 is no longer important, there is nothing to fall below, it is better to forget about this film adaptation.",3
"I got to see an advanced screening the other night, complete with an interview with the cast. I figured this movie could go either way, especially when you consider ""40 year-old Virgin"" and ""Knocked Up"" were funny and entertaining, but they weren't exactly loved by all.

I am happy to say this movie was wonderful. The jokes are crude, but dead on, and unlike recent movies with a similar style, like ""Clerks 2,"" the plot moves on without any real downtime (you know, where the plot slows the progress of humor and you find yourself checking your watch). Jonah Hill and Michael Cera have that best friend chemistry that this movie required as well as being dead on with their jokes. The real star of the movie, however, was newcomer Christopher Mintz-Plasse, who took the role of Fogell and OWNED it. I got the chance to chat with the actors and I was not only surprised to hear that both Mintz-Plasse and Michael Cera are 18 and 19 respectively.

For the type of movie this is and the brilliant script that Seth Brogen has presented, there is no reason why anyone, young or old, can't relate to this off-the-wall comedy. See this movie!",9
"24 doesn't need a review. It only needs viewers watching it. Just that. After that, episode by episode, season by season, you will feel like your mind, senses are wandering off. You will be feeling yourself detached and flown into the shows' world.

No imperfection existed for me throughout, my focus was only to Kiefer Sutherland's voice, acting and the magnetism of the series. He was born to play Jack Bauer.

You will be drawn into 24 like nothing you have touched and felt before. The experience will leave you shaken and in awe. You will find yourself hungry, needy, sleepy, but unable to move from your seat.

After 18 years, I still have fond memories of the show and sensations that no other series was able to duplicate.

A diamond in the world of series and a very personal experience for me, which I will forever cherish and never forget.",10
Selenagomez proved that she is one of the best best actress in the world. The story is very interesting.,10
"This year has been one of the best year's for Comic book adaptations because most of them was financially and as well as critically hailed by the audiences and critics. This is one of those films. Captain America sequel makes the franchise more alive by creating an espionage thriller type film bringing mind meddling twists. One of the best action films of the year.

Overall - 4/5",8
"Avatar the last air bender is by far the best animated tv show ever made. I would give it 100 stars if i could. It has a particularly beautiful art style, as an astounding story. The characters are colorful and interesting. The show has tons of humor and slapstick jokes that will be especially funny for younger audiences. This is a show that the whole family can enjoy. It deals with heavy issues in ways that everyone can understand. Its so fun to watch over and over again and it never gets boring.

The basic plot of the story is that Aang, the last airbender, has to restore balance to the rest of the world.

I would say this show is appropriate for everyone five and up, but that varies depending on how you handle slightly scary/frightening sequences.

I stormy recommend watching Avatar the last aidbender!",10
"It has taken me 9 years to get round to watching this and during that time I looked forward more and more to seeing it. Was it worth the wait....NO.

I find it difficult to find anything positive to say, but the premise and idea of the film is interesting. That sadly is all, its an overblown mess of a movie with no place for a connection to the films characters. A collection of choreographed fight scenes connected by dream science mumbo jumbo and accompanied by a bombastic score does not make an interesting movie. Mr Nolan should have spent his time focusing on a coherent story and some character development, less time on trying to shoehorn in pointless action.

A bitter dissapointment of a movie.",4
"I like both Murray and Johansson as actors, but yikes. I watched more than I should have, hoping it would grip me and take off and be this wonderful moving movie I'd heard about.

Never happened. Just this indulgent, slow, annoying, indulgent movie that was really indulgent. Did I mention... ? yes, pretty sure I did.

Finally bailed after, as I said, watching more than I should have endured. I can't recommend it to anyone for anything. It's like an exercise in nihilism, but with two talented actors in it.",3
One of my favorite series. Jack Bauer gets it done!,10
Watched all episodes in one sitting. Extremely good acting from all actors. Tight storyline amd great cinematography and background score. Must watch,9
"I liked ""Knives Out"", a funny script with some good performances but ultimately a plot that, for me, wasn't quite clever enough. I feel almost exactly the same way about this sequel, released on Netflix in very late 2022.

Miles Bron (Edward Norton) is a tech billionaire, who gathers together some of his closest friends and business associates on his private island for a weekend of sun, partying and a murder mystery adventure. They are joined by Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig), the worlds greatest detective, who also received an invitation to attend. When one of the guests really dies, Blanc is forced to put his skills to genuine use, but this game started long before anyone arrived on the island.

The performances in the film are really good, it's an all-star cast, even down to the many (many) cameos. The characters aren't exactly subtle, but they're given a funny script to work with and wring all the humour there is to get out of it. It's interesting how quickly covid protocols look strange now, as we've only really been one full year without them, but they add an interesting element here. The Greek Island looks appealing, and the cinematography brings that to the fore.

I'm just not totally convinced about the story again though. It's a different format to the last one, it's not so much whodunnit as whydunit. The films biggest reveal comes at the start of the second act, as we, the audience, are provided new information that reframes what we've seen before. I felt this was a bit of a letdown, particularly as they were utilising one of the most recurrent clichés in all of fiction. The rest of the conclusion is patchy, still performed well, particularly from Craig here, but full of bits that don't quite add up to a second level of scrutiny.

It's really enjoyable, with the cast and the dialogue engendering an awful lot of goodwill with me. I'll certainly watch the third one when that comes out too, but this is not a film I'm going to rush back to watching anytime soon.",7
"I don't know, I'm not quit sure. This is on the top 100. In fact in the top 50. At 37, I was quit impressed. I have been dying to see this movie. I finally swallowed my pride and did the stupid 2 day rental at Blockbuster. Which everyone knows is stupid and not worth it to have a film for 2 days. Now, I thought that the movie was very interesting. There is a point. The acting was very good. There is another point. The editing was great. There is another point. The directing is pretty decent. There is a point. And quit another few to be named. BUT!!!... in some ways I thought this was a pretty average film. Like ""Vanilla Sky"" and ""Wicker Park"", you are confused through most of the movie. I felt also that it didn't end too well. But you could give it a shot, because obviously other people saw something in this film to give it a high rating.

More and more people must be being paid to write these reviews. It's slow pace and wooden acting make for a drawn out and lengthy hour for each episode. I've given up on this in episode 4 and feel robbed to have wasted 3 hours already ......,3
"What a twist, despite that you see it coming 120 mins before it really appears, it is just a trash movie from an era where they thought twisting plots could lead to a great movie, bad in every aspect from the casting to acting to the plot and script.

Believe me, this movie belongs to the shelf of old movie stores, and you should leave it to the dust to bury it.",4
Doctor Strange as a character was irrelevant in the movie. They used several cameo (or modified cameo) characters only to have them be useless and inept. Poorly written and poorly executed.,3
"Short review - it's obvious there wasn't the same sort of budget for this spin-off, and it does show a little in the production value - the dragons and scenery look like they were done on the cheap, but they're still passable.

The cast is reasonable, but they seem hamstrung by a slightly poor script.. they come across a little bit like people pretending to be their favourite characters on GoT. There's none of the clever conversation that we were used to.

I was going to complain about the lack of grittiness, but then remembered this is a period when all was good in the Seven Kingdoms (initially), so it's understandable that things would actually be quite nice and not so caked in mud!

So not much more to say beyond that really - it'll be better to judge properly after all ten episodes have aired. If anyone is saying this is the best/worst thing ever, ignore them - it's impossible to know until we've had the first season, so approach with an open mind.",6
"Just because this has excellent actors/actresses and death serious depressive drama we should all get out of our mind in praising the show because they know how to make serious and depressive face, argue, act drunk, or having constant hangover? What about the actual story? Every witness is an idiot that had to hide basically trivial information from police, although, police happen to be their cousin, mother, ex wife? So we had to be ""curious"" Is he, did she?"" When you scrap away natural and good acting, what is left is soap opera drama without much sense.",6
"This show was absolutely horrible. not funny at all. special effects are poor. for sure the creators of this thaught it was ""being clever"" but it was just so bad in so many ways. how can ANYONE be rating this show a 10?? it clearly all paid reviews by amazon..truly sad.",1
"I mean it's not like it's a Masterpiece but is entertaining enough. You really don't guess who killed bryce until they show you who. And the drama of the 3rd season is kinda cool . I did really hated the Ani character, she is kinda the main character of the series, but why? Who the f is she? We don't know her, so why add her and make her main character? On top of that she is annoying and arrogant and kinda cocky... It's annoying the hell out of me. She ll be fine if she was in past seasons but she isnt . I need an explanation for this adition . It's not even a súper useful reasource for the story, like Hanna's ghost was in second season so i dunno . Any thoughts? Am i the only one who felt this way?",6
"I will say that this movie is definitely watchable but nothing to go gaga about. Perhaps when it is compared to other Indian movies it is much better then them and that is where it scores. It is a story about a man who was focused on his success. The story is told. We are shown about the difficulties people face when they set out for their dreams. But somehow it is not clear whether this story is being told to inspire those who watch it or to tell that what difficulties may come to those who dare. The theme is not clear. That is why to me this does not seem to be a great movie. And why so many irrelevant songs in the movie? As for acting Abhishek Bachchan is definitely good but I will say Madhavan was more into his character. Abhishek does not seem to have gotten into his character. At times there is a spark of a man who will not stop at anything to achieve success but most of the times he just seems to be acting. And that goes against the whole notion of being an actor. The viewer should not feel that the actor is just reciting. Maybe I am harsh on him. But I felt that Madhavan was better then him in getting into the character. Anyway to the question whether to watch it or not, I will say yes. But weather it is to be added to your home collection, I am doubtful about that. I am not going to buy it.",5
Its too scary for kids and too childish for grown ups. It was okay but nothing worth spending your money in the cinema,5
"Very bad. Compared to other AnnaBelle movies, and the Conjuring saga - this movie is just childish. Disappointed.",3
"I saw their ""I Said Bitch"" skit a few months ago when one of my friends shared it on Facebook. It caught me off guard with how clever, perfectly-timed, well-acted, multi-dimensional, and downright funny it was. I told myself that I would definitely start watching this show…but my hectic schedule caught up with me, and it faded from my memory before I was able to set aside time to watch one episode.

But the videos kept going viral on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, and after clicking on ""McFerrin vs. Winslow,"" ""Ultimate Fighting Match Preview,"" ""Yo Mama Has Health Problems,"" and ""Gay Marriage Legalized,"" I was hooked! Next thing I know, I was ripping through episodes on Hulu, and posting and emailing episodes to my friends…I was even pulling co- workers into my office and telling them, ""You HAVE to watch this sketch RIGHT NOW…it's only 4 minutes long.""

This is the closest production I've found to Chappelle's Show, although the comparison isn't exactly fair. Chappelle's Show was outrageous and far beyond the bounds of anything anyone had seen on TV before (not taking away from the fact that it was extremely creative, witty, and funny), leading to ROTFLMAOs. Key and Peele is a bit more subdued, and much of its humor lies in its subtext. You'll still get a few ROTFLMAOs, but a lot of the laughs may just be LOLs, or smirks. Not every skit is a hit, but the producers manage to cut the less-funny skits before they get annoying, unlike Saturday Night Live (again, an unfair comparison because that show is live, while Key and Peele is pre- taped and edited).

Key and Peele are both extremely witty, charismatic, and talented comedians and actors. I enjoy their two-man stand up (I think it's a successful formula, when you have the right team), and watching the entire episodes actually allows you to enjoy the episodes more than simply watching them on YouTube because the setups often give you additional insight. Dave Chappelle used to do the same thing successfully. Peele's imitation of President Obama is impressive, and the ""Anger Translator"" skits are hilarious. I can't wait until Season 3.

"The whole point of the story is the bonding of Joel and Ellie, but that never happens. As a result, major parts of the story have no impact. Worse yet, Ellie is unlikeable and seems to suffer from a brain disease that turns off the part of her brain that feels fear. Whether she's about to be eaten or being shot at, you can count on her showing little to no emotion at all.

Joel is a pushover and is constantly being controlled by Ellie. The show tries to cram in the scene of him demanding that she follow his orders, but that never actualizes into action. Only in the very last episode does Ellie seem to become human, and acts like someone of her age and sex would do in that situation. In all the previous episodes she is clearly as fictional character. Exhibiting behavior and emotions that are completely at odds with what a real life equivalent would do.

The cinematography ranges from bad to ok. They decided to go the handheld route, where every static shot has an irritating amount of handheld shake. Why did they do that? Maybe god knows. There's also an overabundant use of wide angle lenses, and also wide angle shots to show the world around them. This sounds like a good thing in theory, but there's a reason why tighter focal lengths are usually used in film. In this case focusing too much on the background made it lose its magic. Seeing cities covered in grass is interesting for a few seconds and then it loses its appeal. In a show like this you're supposed to use a wide angle shot at the very start of a scene, to give context to the surroundings, and then use tighter angles that focus on the characters.

The show has two pointless filler episodes that add nothing to the story and only exist to fulfill Neil Druckmann's need to virtue signal. Episode 3 and 7. The episodes aren't just pointless and boring, but they also take away screen time that could have been spent on creating a relationship between Joel and Ellie.

There is a severe lack of zombies in this zombie apocalypse (Cordyceps, but let's call em zombies). It takes a big brain to decide that almost no emphasis should be placed on the very thing that has plunged the character's world into global mass death and chaos. Why would the audience want to see zombies when they specifically choose to tune into a zombie show? That just doesn't make sense ;)

Also, let's take a moment to appreciate the fact that Joel decides that taking a single bolt action rifle (with no scope) with him is better than taking one (or several) semi-automatic rifles with him. Truly a big brain move.",6
"Within the first 20mins I guessed the ending. Then it felt like absolutely nothing happens in the middle. The best jokes are in the last 10mins, and they definitely aren't worth it. The writing reminded me of an aspiring 20 year old who only wished they could write something interesting but doesn't have the life experience yet. Very disappointed in this shabby story.",1

"I am dead serious. I waited for more than 10 years for Hiddleston to finally stand in full focus and to shine. (He overshadowed so many main chars in so less screen time that it was just time to show his full potential in a movie/series that is entirely about him.)

So WHAT WAS THAT? Come on, are you kidding me?!

READ THE FOLLOWING ATTENTIVELY, DEAR WRITERS ROOM!

Loki possesses STRENGTH, DURABILITY, and LONGEVITY far superior to humans. The MOST POWERFUL sorcerer in all of Asgard, Loki's magical abilities include ASTRAL PROJECTION, SHAPE-SHIFTING, HYPNOSIS, MOLECULAR REARRANGEMENT, ENERGY BLASTS, LEVITATING, CONJUATION, CRYOKINESIS, TELEKINESIS and TELEPORTATION. In addition, Loki can connect to others TELEPATHICALLY and see into their memories, mystically IMBUE OBJECTS, and CREATE RIFTS between dimensions.

THE POTENTIAL?!?!?!?!?!? What did you do?!

If season 2 won't FINALLY give Loki justice, I am done with the MCU and I mean it. HIddleston deserves nothing less than to stand in the full focus and shine with his entire potential and passion!",5
"I wanted this to be a good new series for me. When i heard catharine zeta jones was going to be morticia, i was excited.

She gets one of the stars, she was good. But only in 2 episodes. What. Gomez was good. 2 episodes. Uncle fester (not a fan of the actor, but the character) 1 episode.

I get it, i get it, it is called Wednesday, it's not about the rest of them. That's the problem though. She needs the rest of them to work. Her relationship with her brother for example works.

Here, she is just rude, unpleasant and doesnt work. She isn't likeable. So as your main character, that's not good. I get they thought her ""witty"" responses were funny, but they werent.

It's why Wednesday only works as part of the family, not the main character. It's too much of the same.

And dont get me started on werewolves, sirens etc.

Just keep her with the family, keep her as the main character if you want, but have the rest as side characters helping her through her life etc.

Oh and the other 2 stars are for the original and best Wednesday - Christina Ricci.",3

"I've read several of the very many positive reviews with total amazement - now don't get me wrong - I loved Dostoyevski's ""A boring story"" and thought it clever that the medium carried the message so well - it really was boring. But if we are to get something about ennui or alienation it just ain't going to happen if you slit your wrists before getting to the end of the film. Someone said it was slow moving - slow moving? It's a like a dead snail on Mogodon! I found no saving graces at all - it was hard to know how good or bad the acting was as I kept nodding off. As for the production and direction it could as easily have been made in a broken lift - that's elevator to my US friends - as the backdrop was as irrelevant as the film was pointless. I've been more intellectually stimulated by watching paint dry!",1
"Maybe, although I really liked the first too... Anyway, I thought it was fantastic, the special effects plus a strong story line combined with subtle humor makes this a fantastic movie that 99.99999% of people will love! (The remainder are in denial)My favourite scene was the when Spidey stopped the train from crashing and everyone said they would keep his identity a secret. That scene was a bit corny, but ya gotta like them! Maybe the only people who won't like the film are some woman who only go to see chic flicks, and the really really nerdy people who believe that Spiderman should've stayed a comic. I intend on going back to see the movie again, which is a big thing for me as I usually never go and see a movie more than once cos its too damned expensive :P It was very true to the comic as well, which will please comic fans as it has pleases me. I can't wait for Spiderman 3 when Harry and Peter go head to head!!!",10
"Watched the first episode because of the 9.3 rating. I've never heard of the comp game so judged the tv series on it's own merit. I've watched two episodes so far and just can't see 9.3, it's not ground breaking or novel in any way and I think the rating is way ott. It's quite predictable and expected in many ways and the acting isn't brilliant, just average. I'll keep watching and hopefully it will improve, as a TV series it has to stand by itself and not rely on adaptations or original format. I'm confused why so many people think it's brilliant with great character development. It's average, IMHO.",7
"The high rating and reviews made me think this would be a good movie. 15 minutes in, my parents were disappointed by the typical Stephen Chow film, and we had to switch. I thought it was a parody of the Hong Kong fighting movies where people exhibit exaggerated expressions and float in the air/fly, but we soon realized that it IS one of those movies. Half the actors do not deliver quality acting, adding onto the disaster that the movie is already.

Edit: I'm not going to justify my sense of humor, but I think it's pretty mainstream given that I laugh during Marvel movies and I like the popular comedy TV shows too. This type of movie is the kind that throws you some slapstick stuff and tries to use ""weirdness"" to underpin their ""comedy."" With a near nonexistent plot, the scenes don't drive the movie forward. I chuckled a couple of times at certain things (because I've seen them in memes a long time ago), but other than that, I was literally thinking, ""what is going on in this movie???""

Comparing this to good martial arts films is aN absolute disgrace. I saw one reviewer said the fight scenes are great, especially the first one. Stylistically speaking, this movie is above the rest of those cheesy fighting films, but it is not really fighting if it's one-sided and the ""action"" ends as quickly as it started. If you've seen Daredevil, the first few seasons of Arrow, or even the Ip Man film series, then you'll actually know what decent good fighting scenes are.

Edit: This is DEFINITELY a cult film, because negative reviews like mine, which would've helped me a lot in the first place, have an excessive # of downvotes, and all the reviews with high ratings have a majority of helpful votes.

I hope my review sees the light of day and can prevent poor souls from watching this movie.",1
I had such nostalgic feelings though-out this show. It was such a clever unique way to provide this new emotion to watchers on a tv show!!!! Absolute Genius! I loved every second of it and the short bursts of episodes! Round of applause all around!,9
"Sam Raimi's follow up in 2004 to the exceptional Spider-man manages to be even better, with more character development, an interesting villain and a juicy teaser for the finale of the trilogy. In the conversation for one of the best sequels of all time with The Godfather II, The Dark Knight, Toy Story 2 and The Empire Strikes Back. 9/10.",9
"The first season hooked me. The characters were nuanced. The good weren't entirely angelic and the bad weren't entirely demonic. The acting was better than passable and Vincent D'Onofrio made a great central character baddie. Some rough spots but -hey, overall substantively above the usual genre fare.

Sad to say the second season started well and rapidly devolved into too many side plots, too soon character intros, too many knotty unspoken, unspeakable and unresolvable secrets between the characters. Everybody but everybody is hiding some world shattering nugget of suffering and sinister past linkages. Daredevil teeters on the line of becoming a ridiculous cartoon and a sometimes understandable/believable character. On one hand he is an exceedingly brilliant lawyer, on the other just too dim-witted,in spite of multiple deadly encounters, to figure out the sinister Hand is not his mentor/trainer's fantasy. People around him die frequently and even Elecktra is critically wounded because of his incredible saintly, self-imposed ban on killing. No one around him is permitted to harm anyone (even in self-defense) beyond the convenient knockout blow. The 'thou shalt not kill for any reason' rule becomes so clumsy and untenable that after (yet another batch of) ninjas kill a nurse in cold blood you almost expect him to deliver a lecture to his nurse friend when she shoves one of them out the hospital window. He nearly does exactly that when he reminds her during the roof scene that her friend was killed. Since the writers seem to abide by the 'only the good die young' law we can look forward to Daredevil repeatedly beating the crap out of the baddies and their legions. Since no bad guy,however insignificant, is ever stopped permanently (by him) I guess we can look forward to an endless stream of rinse and repeat fist fights interspersed with the occasional bystander getting whacked. Couple this with the soap opera endless personal crises you start expecting organ music to swell after every character utterance. They are gonna have to go some to climb out the the hole they've dug this one into.",5
"""Dark Waters"" was engrossing enough for me to stop watching on a summer weekend evening but return to finish it the next. It is not ""Michael Clayton"" or ""The Insider."" The reason? There is no tension or drama, merely a great deal of useless filler with Anne Hathaway playing a long-suffering but supportive wife, while Robert Bilott, the attorney who led the excruciating, drawn-out battle against Dupont, suffers with his clients.

""Dark Waters"" would have been infinitely more impactful if it had included some fictionalized suspense about why the U. S. government/EPA took nearly a generation to approve Bilott and his firm's scientific data. As a docudrama, there is as little documentation of facts as there is drama.",4
"Let's get this out of the way right now: This movie does NOT make you think. I am so sick of that cliché. A movie may be challenging to the senses and demand your undivided attention, but it can't make you think. You think independently of movies, people. Stop giving Hollywood that much credit.

That said, I found Inception to be a grand disappointment. One of the things that marks other Chris Nolan projects is his love of character and development of such. Nolan has interesting ideas, but once he gets the germ of an idea, he then populates his films with rich and interesting people, giving them compelling stories, making us care about what happens to them beyond the constructs of the idea. Not just masterpieces like Memento, The Prestige, and Insomnia (one of the few English language remakes of a foreign film to get it right), but even in his ""comic book"" movies, Batman Begins and THe Dark Knight, Nolan's love of character and relationships is what drew us into the story.

Insomnia is about 2-dimensional characters (okay, some of them flirt with being 2.5-dimensional) who wander through a complex and admittedly brilliant idea for a little over two hours. There are some stunning visuals and some quirky twists, but for the most part I fought to stay awake because I did not care. I was told not to leave to go to the bathroom or I would be lost when I came back; well, I nodded off for 15 minutes and did not miss a beat.

And for all this primal hooting about the breathtaking final shot, a moment that elicited gasps from audiences across America ... not to sound arrogant, but I must be smarter than most audiences because I saw that moment coming. I knew how the film would end, and I knew what that last image would be.

An okay film, but not up to Nolan's standards.",6
"I was really underwhelmed by this movie.

I have to disagree with the popular opinion. I was so stoked for this one, especially because The Winter Soldier is my second most favourite Marvel film after Iron Man, but I was left disappointed.

Spoilers up ahead!

Firstly, let's make something clear, it really wasn't a WAR. For 85% of the length of the film, it was a disagreement. And when we finally see the big twist happen, it still wasn't a war, because there were just 3 people fighting. I wanted every hero to be at each other's throat, but sadly that wasn't the case.

At the end of the movie, I was indifferent about which side to choose, because both were almost equally wrong. Iron Man's motivations for signing the accords didn't make sense. I mean, since the last 8 years he has been killing people and watching them die, and suddenly he meets one woman which instantaneously changes his mind. Like seriously? He created Ultron and even that didn't change his thought process, but after meeting a black woman for 30 seconds in a secluded hallway did.

Cap even once didn't mention how Hydra crept up inside SHIELD, and that is the reason they shouldn't sign the accords. The political angle should have been more fleshed out and written more articulately. They just skimmed over most of the stuff.

The only real players in the disagreement (not War) were Iron Man, Cap, Bucky and Black Panther. If you think about it, the movie would have been the same if you take away all the other characters apart from these four.

Scarlet Witch annoyed the hell out of me. Why? She kept creeping up in the middle of the fights in the airport scene and throwing the members from Stark's team away. I couldn't enjoy a good hand-to-hand combat scene between any of the members because the annoying little witch had to meddle in every character's fight. Is it too much to ask for a good hand to hand combat scene like the one in Winter Soldier? Honestly, Scarlet Witch is a bit too powerful for the MCU, and she should have been the one to die in Age of Ultron. Her accent is even more off-putting in this one. Nothing against Olsen, it's not her fault her character was written this way.

I actually ended up really disliking Cap by the end of this movie. He saw Bucky straight up brutally killing Tony's parents, and still he doesn't show any sympathy for Stark. His motivations were selfish which were clouding his judgement. For the whole film, he doesn't seem to realise that his best friend is a threat to humanity. A simple code can activate his prey instincts.

The famous Airport scene that everyone was boasting about was also surprisingly underwhelming. For the first 2 minutes it was great to see some of my favourite superheroes fight each other, but it got boring pretty quickly. Why? Because there wasn't any tension. All of the characters apart from Black Panther were pulling their punches. It was a practice session than a real straight up fight. It really wasn't War. Black Widow had the time to make jokes in the middle of the fight too.

And yeah, the movie was really predictable. Apart from the final twist, the movie played out exactly the way I had thought it would. I knew there would be an underwater prison, I knew how Black Panther would become a part of the conflict, I knew that either Bucky would be framed or manipulated to attack a major international organisation because it was all shown in the effing trailers.

One thing universally agreed upon about this movie is that the villain was unnecessary and I concur. His plan was extremely complex and it played out the way it did only because the movie wanted to. But, for a change it was refreshing to see a human antagonist who uses his wit and intellect to defeat the heroes. He doesn't have a grandeur motive to destroy to world, and I really appreciated that. That still doesn't take away the face that he was inessential to the overall plot.

The things I liked: The final fight between Cap, Bucky and Iron Man was really good. That was the point when the movie became enjoyable for me because the the tension escalated to a whole new level. The look of anguish and sorrow on Tony's face was intense. Sadly, it was too little, too late.

I liked Black Panther. He's introduced as a straight up badass, and I liked that. His motives made sense. He was part of the conflict for personal reasons and had his own agenda and that's why his character was intriguing.

Spider Man was so awesome. I was waiting to see a Peter Parker who looked and behaved like he was in high school. So that was splendid.

Finally, it goes without saying but the actors have really grown into their roles over the course of several movies and each one of them give an amazing performance. Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans are just phenomenal in their portrayals. Even the new additions like Tom Holland and Chadwick Boseman are really good.

My final verdict would be a 2.75/5",7
This is the worst movie from Russo Brothers. Action is worse than Baaghi 3.,1
"After reading all the reviews saying this was a brilliant film, I was left wondering if I watched the same film. OK, slow to start, but it never really picked up any pace. When it finished I was still trying to get my head around the storyline... Not impressed by the visuals, which I expected to be far better. Overall a boring film.....don't bother.",2
"The beginning was slow at parts but pretty good. The last 2/3 of the movie was very bad. There was no entertaining bad guy other than Scarecrow who didn't have enough on screen action. Batman and Batman Returns were good because of their colorful and enchanting atmospheres and entertaining villains, this movie lacked both except the Scarecrow who wasn't in enough scenes. The movie is very boring and it can cause you to miss a major or major plot points so you just have to assume what the story the rest of the way because it is too hard to catch on. Without understanding the plot you can clearly see Katie Holmes is wanted by the bad guys because she is a DA and that the movie is about stopping the guys with drugs and stopping the plot to destroy the water supply. Michael Caine is good though he doesn't have enough screen time to develop a bond with him. Christian Bale is non charismatic, as were I believe the past Batmans in the other movies, but it doesn't have to be about Batman, it can be more about the villains, with some Batman, as long as it is entertaining.",3
"After a disappointing ""versus"" movie we got a couple of months ago, Captain America: Civil War was clearly a remedy for that. The best thing about it was they've had a reason to fight and a reason to end it without a lame excuse like sharing the same mother's name. The story was simple, not about who's right or wrong, it was about what you believe in and how that would make you different from the others and the results of it sometimes not what you expected. Throughout the movie I couldn't decide which sides I would take because both team had valid reasons to defend their decision. The actors were really on top of their games. For me, the highlights were Elizabeth Olsen and Tom Holland (yes, he's a perfect Spider-Man). I also agree to some people who didn't like this version of Baron Zemo, but after watching the movie for second time, I think Zemo was a brilliant mastermind in creating the conflict between Avengers and I hope that he will appear in the future MCU films.",9
"This is a great example of how amazing CGI and great story can still make a very boring movie. The movie has no magic. Characters are lifeless. I get they wanted to make it ""realistic"" but for animals who can talk and sing, a bit of emotions in the face would have been nice. the movie just has no rhythm compared to the original one... Just not even close to it at all.",3
"Weak writing, overall unrealistic and definitely overrated.",6
"I can think of a few ""sequels"" that can be considered great films. Two which I can think of are Aliens and Terminator 2...but I still liked the original to those films more.

I can remember watching the Godfather for the first time. I was young, and although I liked it, it would be years until I really came to realize just how great it is. After actually seeing the Godfather II, I was amazed. An incessant battle insued inside my soul which continues to rage today, over which is the better movie...and I have to say I generally lean towards the Godfather II. It is the only sequel to win an academy award for best picture, and rightfully so. Many consider the Godfather to be the greatest film of all time, and it's sequel is just as, if not better than its predecessor.

This film could've been broken into two movies, as a prequel to the Godfather, and as a sequel...my favorite aspect of the movie is when it shows how ""the Godfather"", portrayed by Robert De Niro came to be so powerful.",10
"Excellent set design and cinematography, but the ""single take"" gimmickry didn't work for me at all. Two hours is too long to see the main character on the screen 100% of the time. Looked at my watch about 80 minutes in because it was getting boring. Much of the action was pretty ""overdone"" unbelievable, and I felt there wasn't really any ""payoff"" in the ending- it left me flat. Finally... if you don't see this movie on a big, theater screen then don't bother because the ""spectacle"" of it will be lost and the story/character side of this movie just isn't that good.",4
"I accept the fact that the other family members have like zero screen time. Okay so it's called Wednesday for a reason, however it would be more enjoyable if I saw the other characters a little more. A big reason for that is that Wednesday is completely unlikable and that's a big problem. What I loved about the previous Adam's movies is that The Addams Family Had each other's back. Wednesday hates her family and treats her friends like trash. Unfortunately it's not done in a charming way. I feel like they went too far with making Wednesday cold and they took away her substance. This is a huge flaw because you have to be able to like the character and care about them. I think that the show could improve if they realize this and make Wednesday more tolerable. No one can play Wednesday like Christina Ricci, however the actress did a good job. The problem lies within the writing, I actually hope for a season 2, but I hope they improve the actual problems because this could be a good show. Maybe give Wednesday a soul and make her a bit more charming. The Adams were always good people who enjoyed being different and I embrace that. In this one, no one has a personality and all the characters lack charm, especially Wednesday.",4
"I just watched 6 Underground with my son, whilst we had a takeaway and drank a couple of beers.

Since the trailer is vague, here is a brief plot in a paragraph

A team of 6 people (all assigned a code number) who are all thought to be dead, are living off the grid and taking out bad guys Governments can't or won't touch.

It was a bit touch to follow during the first hour as it hops all over the place with lots of flashbacks... It was a lot more complicated than it needed to be, as I'm still not sure what happened when, in its timeline. The second hour is the most enjoyable as there are no flashbacks, you know what's happening and it flows better, despite the shaky cam.

It's a very Michael Bay movie, with action sequence with explosions following action sequence with more explosions. There are some great deaths (including innocent bystanders) and laughed out loud two or three times.

Ryan Reynolds is Ryan Reynolds, and since I like him, it worked for me. He brings the same energy he brings to Deadpool or Blade 3 (he saved that movie for me) here and he is fun. Mëlanie Laurant and Adria Arjona bring the glamour, but they are not just eye candy, one is a doctor and the other an ex cia agent. The stand out in the cast for me was Ben Hardy (last seen in Bohemian Rhapsody) who plays the parkour member of the team, he was great. Sadly the bad guy is a bit one dimensional, although he is played well.

Whilst its script is not the best (it has an lame, surprise twist at the end) and Bay still thinking its 1995 it does have some stunning locations (especially in Italy) an excellent cast, a decent score and is more than watchable.

Overall is it a good movie?? not really. But was I entertained?? Hell, yes I was. I'm not sure how much of that was down to the 4 bottles of beer I drank whilst watching it.",7
"Predestination is technically very good. The actors are doing their job well, costumes and camera is also good. Nothing in that movie is outstanding but a good piece of high quality cinema.

All together I have really enjoyed watching this flick. I just can not share the opinion that this movie is somehow brilliant or that is has a surprising end.

For all who have not seen to much time travel movies (who has not since Dr. Who became very popular since 2005) this movie will be a wild ride full of unexpected happenings and a real brain teaser. For everyone else ... well soon after the start of the movie everything will happen mostly like you expect it.

To be honest. The movie includes some really fresh ideas about time travel which where not shown in any other movies or described in books that I ever reed. That's what makes the movie still interesting.

One thing is really greate for a modern movie production. The time travel machine is not explained in any way. Also the implications of time travel and paradoxes are not mentioned. This is very refreshing, because it regularly bores me to death when a movie waists the first quarter of it to explain how and why everything works.

The movie could have been easily half an hour longer if they would had used the full potential of the story.

All together it's a well crafted movie which is enjoy able for the most. But only really surprising for a young audience or for people which are not into science fiction and/or have not seen much time travel movies.",6
"This movie insults my intelligence. Nobody can drive blind or navigate river rapids blind. Sandra Bullock can't act. This is nothing more than a high-budget, high-gloss version of the crappy end-of-the-world disaster flicks filmed in Canada and aired on Superchannel or FX or B-grade cable movie channels. I say, Never Mind the (Sandra) Bullock(s).",1
"Glass Onion is in the 'series' of the knives out mystery and it holds its own ground, though, admitedly, the mystery in this one isn't as good nor as complicated and elaborate as the one in the first movie.

Yet, the cast does a good job fleshing out fun characters with a zing to them. The comedy is also pretty nice, working alongside the thriller and keeping up with the atmosphere, which was light and all games and fun most of the time. Again, not quite as atmosperic as the first movie, but pretty smooth and colourful otherwise.

Finally, the mystery was okay, but mostly the characters are those that make the whole movie worth the while.",6
"So what is it meant to be?

Funny? Nope, original? No way... theres just nothing worth watching. Wasn't a fan of the first one either, so if you liked that maybe this is up your street to and thats fair enough.

Clue is such a great movie with everything this wants to be, but it fails on every single level,

the acting was all over the place, the script just not thought out at all. The whole sell on this movie is it's a who-done-it, but you won't care or be surprised at the end, so whats the point?

I'm a massive fan of who-done-it movies, but can't recommend this. Disappointing but am sure there will be a load more sequels to come...",4
"Since I was a little kid I was a fan of Venom character but in this movie I see him in the other way,almost as a superhero. I watched the first one and It blew me away and the second one will not disappoint either!",9
"The movie did not build up characters well enough. It was hard to understand who is who and what their goal was.

The plot was all over the place. It felt pointless and empty. It rushed into the action scenes. It often felt like too much was going on all at once.

The one thing that they had going for them was the beautiful graphics. Which in my opinion having everything in the film glow took away the special feeling of something magical out of it.

They had a long time to make this movie. It felt like they had procrastinated and rushed to throw something together at the last minute.

Watching it was a waste of 3 hours and 12 minutes that I could have used to do something else.",2
"Loki kicks this show into next week. This series is way too political, has a garbage second half of the series, and is ultimately forgettable. If you're an MCU fan, you MIGHT want to watch it just to satiate your curiosity. Otherwise, don't even bother. It stinks.",4
"There's only so much mileage one can get out of half a dozen aircraft filmed from all different angles but repeating the same stuff over and over again. If those precious relics weren't capable of safely doing their stuff then I can't think of a better justification for special effects. Indeed I find myself in full agreement with others who lament how this film totally failed to do justice to the magnificent scale of the achievement of withdrawing well over 300,000 troops from that beach in a matter of days, while under fire. This wasn't DUNKIRK, it was personal glimpses of Dunkirk by some of the people who participated in the evacuation. My suggestion would be to recut the film to show the intimacy of the different situations portrayed and reissue it under the title ""Personal Stories From The Dunkirk Evacuation"". Then it might be more appreciated and avoid the deserved backlash over the very false banner it was released under.",6
"This review is for season 1 only. I haven't watched other seasons yet. I will mention here, what i liked and disliked about the first season.

As the heading of this review says, season 1 was pretty below average for me. I liked the first few episodes but then it really went downhill for me. Firstly, the plot that so called creatures try to remain secret, is a very cliched plotline and has already been used in many tv shows and movies. However, i did like the idea that the creatures were in decline in the modern world compared to the ancient world as most of the supernatural stories that we hear nowadays have their roots in the ancient times. I also fail to understand the ""Demons"" creatures in the show. So far the havent shown any distinction whatsoever and seems like common humans to me. They have not shown any powers or any property that is different from humans. The romantic relationship between the two main characters seems very forced. In one episode, Mathew craves bishop and wants to drink her blood while in another episode he kisses her. In one episode. He is like we have to follow the covenant and is a jerk to her for a moment and in another episode he says we are one. In my opinion, the love between them develops way too quickly. This plot element should have been reserved for season finale etc. However, I did like the idea of a witch trusting a vampire more than her fellow witches and this prophetic idea that a vampire king and witch queen will come together but the love affair like i said is way too quick.

I didnt enjoy season 1 much, however i will watch season 2 with an open mind and see if the story improves.",6
"I really enjoyed the story, the characters, and the action. It focuses on building the story, character relationships, and fantasy. I did not notice any hidden agendas or unpopular ideas, which plague most shows these days and ruin them completely. The music was good too.

I would recommend this show!",9
"CGI was AWESOME. Venom was awesome every single second he was on screen.

Other than that, the movie is quite terrible. It just doesn't commit to a style and, in my opinion, suffers for it.

Starts Sci-fi, then its typical origin comic book, then action-comedy with dark touches, then...

The humor, which is mostly dumb, mixed with dark jokes and some visual absurdism doesn't sound bad per se, but the reality is that they just don't nail a good enough amount of the jokes and Hardy's interpretation serves well some kind of jokes (when he is talking to Venom) and literally nothing else in the movie. Eddie Brooks is a just weird character.

Human characters: A realistic portrait of a relationship starts with Hardy's Brook character and his girlfriend. But after the first act, its just silly and all over the place. A philosophical villain didn't mantain the tone. At times he was a bigger than life thinker and crazy scientist, and at other times he was a typical sutarday cartoon villain.

The action is good, not great. It takes waaaaay too much time for fun things to start to happen.

It seems the first act was writen by somebody, then the middle part for another one, and ANOTHER one had to wrap the story and the arcs of the characters (and failed).

Honestly. Its a dissapointment.

Having said that: I don't think ""I wasted my money"", because its enjoyable and I want more. This one had a low budget and it was a bet. I'll support Sony. I want more.",3
"If this movie were set in, say, the Wonderful Land of Oz, it might stand up as a lightweight fantasy. Very lightweight. But dressed in the trappings of science fiction, it's simply appalling.

True, it does look purdy, with all that computer graphic stuff slathered all over the screen. And it does tell a story, of sorts: the dad who wants to redeem himself in the eyes of his daughter. It actually could have worked. But the story meanders for hours and hours, and any semblance of logic is completely abandoned after the trip through the wormhole, making it very hard to care what happens.

Just one example: the takeoff from Earth requires a multi-stage rocket on the scale of the Saturn V. The takeoff from a planet ""near the black hole,"" (!) with ""gravity greater than Earth's"" is handled effortlessly by a tiny shuttlecraft. The movie is filled with similar lapses in basic logic. The final events near (and inside!) the black hole are so completely lacking in scientific plausibility that they'd seem embarrassing in a ten-cent comic book. In a multi-hundred-million-dollar epic, the complete disregard of all known science borders on criminal.

On the positive side, Interstellar is a better film than Gravity. The science is equally implausible, but the story doesn't depend on the science quite so obviously. Nonetheless, the popularity of feeble junk like this makes a sad comment on the state of knowledge and tastes in our 21st-century society.",3
"To be totally honest I had tried watching daredevil in 2015 and found the first episode boring then i stopped watching.In fact I also saw the premiere of Jessica Jones and Luke Cage but didn't like them. Later this year I watched the premiere of Iron fist and I kind of liked but noticed it had poor ratings as compared to the other netflix marvel shows.It didn't make any sense so I decided rewatch them in their respective order and found out that only their pilot sucked not because they lacked a story but because their pilots were building up the real story but at a slow pace.Right now all i can say is Daredevil is my best Marvel Netflix TV series to date followed by Jessica jones then Luke Cage.I like them all and am glad I watched them.And one thing for sure is that if you watch the three,Iron fist and the arrowverse dc comics will seem to have immature story plots #no offence Daredevil gets a 9.5/10 from me. One more thing..I hope this ""hand thing"" is over.The story was absolutely boring especially in the defenders.But for the villains they are really fascinating.And for those who found themselves in my situation please ignore the first two episodes(they are simply slow paced) and after you reach the third or fourth episode,you ll clearly get whats going on",9
With a cast like this! Just wow! Hooked in the first few minutes!,9
"I struggled to keep awake during the movie - and that is not how a good film is supposed to be. La La Land was not atrocious but I'm giving it 1 star because it was the first film ever that made me regret spending time and money on. If it weren't for all the hype I might've given it 4.

Was there a point in making this film? There is nothing special La La Land is trying to convey, the acting is bland, the songs are dull, the storyline is overused and predictable, all in all it is a film of clichés. I seriously cannot believe this won so many awards - should I be worried about the future of film or am I missing an important point?",1
"I can't believe people actually think this is real.

To be real, they would've had to pull this guy away from his regular life to the point he's having to stay in a hotel over night under false pretenses. That's called kidnapping.

There's zero chance of this being legal.

Think about it. You have to sign a waiver to do basically anything. Rent a jet ski? Sign a waiver. Go to an amusement park? Sign a waiver.

Does anybody really think this guy participated in an ongoing tv show that required being away from his life/family for multiple days (and included overnight stays) and he never signed one liability waiver explaining to him what was actually going on? No way!",2
"All due reect to the actors, but Jennifer Conelly played a more significant role and had more screen time than Ed Harris. Why is Ed 2nd on the listing?",7
"It's very much clear the cast is having lots of fun and enjoys portraying the characters the series over all is very creatively done looks great (for the most part except a few animations) and there's not much to say other then that the story is simple well phased told and again made decently well

there are a few issues with the dialogue of the characters near the end of the series (season 1) for example but for the most part there's no much here to screw up given the world the setting and so on

""coincidental"" things that happen to foreword the plot are introduced very eventually and well -well...... and so on

a little bit weak on the grandiose ideas/moralities/perspective the series taunts but never takes anywhere but the story is good as i said simple and good.

Overall i'd say the series is good but has room for improvment.",8
"Wow. I have just gotten back from the 12:01 AM showing of Spider-Man 2 (it's 3:15 as I type this) at the Valley View (OH) Cinemark 24. (In which every seat was sold out!) And in describing Spider-Man 2, so many things come to mind, so many different aspects of the movie, and one word keeps popping in my mind. Wow. This movie is great! Wow. Wow. Wow! Peter Parker is once again struggling, broke and desperate. His grades are lacking, and he's either late or missing for everything he needs to do. His world is closing in on him, and he realizes there's only one way out. He must be Spider-Man, no more. But with mad scientist Doctor Octopus on the lose and the city in danger, what will he do?

That's the basic gist of it, but that description is an insult to the whole story. . Freed from having to introduce the whole gang, and setting up conflicts, this movie is able to jump into the action. You don't need to know anything about the plot, in fact, the less the better. Just know this: The connections between the characters are deeper. Everything you loved about the first one is here, but stronger. Bolder. Better. You see, this film really shines in the character interaction and development. The special effects are great too, and Doctor Octopus is a better villain, at least in terms of excitement, look, and menace. The movie is also surprisingly hilarious. Although not a comedy, and not treated as one (thank goodness), many situations generate laugher. That's a good thing, because as any true fan knows, Spidey is just as funny as sad. The quips and humor are great here.",10
"I use to be obsessed with the superogenre starting in 2009.

I watched most old and new superhero shows, cartoons, movies and etc. I was neck deep in superheroes.

Superheroes genre was once felt like it was made for superhero geeks.

Then something happened. Superhero genre exploded with cartoons live action and movies. Every corporate network and production was producing and investing in superheroes whether DC, Marvel or others. This overwhelmed me. Superheroes became dark, liberal, fan service and for the general audience.

The Boys with my 2020 vision is overwhelming because it seems cliché. I've been here before. I've seen it. It's overdone.

I don't think cliché is entirely the problem. It's forcing so many superhero products all at once where you either lose interest, can't keep up and or just don't care anymore because you already know what is going to happen.

The Boys is nothing special. It's a soap opera. A super opera. Same old super drama.

Like every show it will start great and then end bad.

Verdict: As of 2020 if you have seen 1 superhero show. You've seen it all. Pass. There is no point in watching this redundant hash.",2
"I was excited for this movie, as it was Christopher Nolan, but I was very let down because of its inaccuracies. Christopher Nolan has a strong reluctance to use CGI and that was a big part in this mediocre movie. First they filmed on location, and that is quite good after a lot of good movies (eg.Gettysburg) were filmed on location. But they filmed in a town that has been completely rebuilt since ww2. Where is that burning houses, the screaming civilians? Second, at the start of the movie, one of the characters says that there are 400,000 good men on the beach. That is true in real life but in the film... where are they? All we see is a few hundred people lined up. There should be people running around, it should be filled to the brim. Christopher Nolan should of used cgi on this, instead of pretending that was 400,000 people. Third, I love the fact that they used real spitfires. The dogfights and the ships sinking using only practical effects is amazing. But in the film we only see 3 spitfires go to Dunkirk. They didn't just send 3. In reality 3400 planes went to support the soldiers, but many of them did get caught in dogfights but the fact that the film says that send only 3 is absurd and took me right out of the story. Overall this film has amazing practical effects and amazing use of visuals, but the historical inaccuracies is what disappoints me. If you want to see a more accurate representation of this amazing event, go watch atonement.",5
"Story, acting and dialogues were all awesome. It connects with the society so well and you will not leave your seat from start to end. The way they made acting to real dog was quite awesome and attached. The story was very clean, humorous and got emotional at the end. It gives life lessons for get going in life whether you face any problem. The movie is available on prime and voot. You can enjoy this movie and you will surely not get bored. Director has done justice with the story writer by his good direction and whole cast was good. No over acting,no lame dialogues and very good message in the end makes the movie awesome.",10
Stranger things is a very popular and trendy show especially among teenagers. I really like this show and the story is just really great. Season 1 and 2 were amazing and season 3 was good but it wasn't amazing. I love how the cast are child actors yet they are incredibly talented child actors. The characters work really well as a team but individually some of them can be kind of annoying. Although I really like this show I do think that it is overhyped. This show is great but there are many others that are just as good if not better that don't get anywhere near as much hype surrounding them. My worry about this how is that it will just get stretched out and get worse and worse.,9
Worst movie I'd ever seen. Fake and only to promotion of BJP during election. You should give credit to military not politician.,1
"It touches most of the social issues, a emotional ride with situational humorous moments",10
"Special effects were made for this film. This movie is purely creative and this cast is the f**king tag team of the century. So what's with score? Well, I'm in the belief that this film is highly overrated. First of all, its not nearly as complicated as Chris wants people to believe it is. This movie feels WAY too pretentious. Something I've always loved about Donnie Darko is how much it doesn't care if people ""get it"" or not and it's just as enjoyable no matter how much you understand the film. But, people just say they loved Inception because they didn't get it and don't want to feel stupid. Second, did anybody actually give a s**t about the characters? It makes me sad because if Inception wasn't so obsessed with trying to appeal to everyone; Cobb's amazing backstory could've been handled a lot better. Which leads to my other problem, Christopher really shouldn't have worried about trying to makes this move as accessible as possible. A film like this would work better as a cult film that attracts a certain demographic.

7.5/10 -- Good. Despite all I said, this IS a good movie. It just doesn't deserve #14 (will probably change) on the IMDb Top 250. If you are interested definitely give it a shot but don't let others overhype it for you and if you like movies that make you think, there are plenty of other intelligent films that are as smart as they advertise themselves to be. This is honestly just an action movie in disguise.",7
"I remember seeing the Godfather, Parts I & II back in the late 70s. I haven't seen since, much less before, any 2-part cinema production that produced a storyline so well enmeshed, that they both could have been just called ""The Godfather"".

My question is, according to a comment I read on the website for the movie, it is only the second best sequel ever made. What was better? In my 58 years of watching movies, I haven't seen anything else to even come close. I find it hard to believe that anyone else might have a different opinion. Of course, I'm not an expert at these things. But then, I wonder if the comments made about it being ""second best"" were the comments of an expert, seeing as I have only heard it described by the critics as the best sequel ever, to which I readily agree.",10
"A group of youngsters discover that by taking part in a small ritual involving an embalmed, ceramic hand, that they're able to contact spirits from the other side.

One of the better horror films I've seen for some time, when I compare to the other horrors I've seen in 2023, this rates as the best so far.

Talk to me has a degree of originality, it's loaded with jump scares, and has some genuinely memorable moments. The writing was rather good, everything pieced together nicely, including that pretty shocking opening sequence.

Quite graphic at times, it wasn't afraid to show a bit of gore, eyeball, that's all I'm saying, I had to look away. I loved that deliciously dark closing scene, it was such a strong, cohesive end to the film, it really worked.

There were a couple of clichés, and there were a couple of moments where you're left scratching your head, puzzling whether people would actually do the things that happened here, but those are minor faults, the only major gripe I had, was the rebirth of The Crazy Frog music (I thought our ears had been spared that years ago.)

They trailered Cobweb and Nun 2, will either of them surpass this one? Will have to wait and see.

A big thumbs up.

8/10.",8
"For a Netflix movie, this sits between 7-8/10. Not you typical action movie that we have seen hundreds of times. Good action scenes and too much fun. Might be losing a point on the bad editing and the little confusing script on the character development. In general the movie is good, Ryan Reynolds is Ryan Reynolds and the rest of the main cast are absolutely great. Worth watching with a full bag of popcorn and loud sound. Now let's hope for a sequel next year or so.",7
"For the past eight years, and a combined total of thirteen movies, Marvel has been doing everything right for when it came to CBM's. Even their less than stellar films (Iron Man 3 and Age of Ultron) still managed to bring the fun, because in the end that's what we want: something fun and memorable.

I loved the new Captain America movie; however, I don't think the title is fitting. I think it should have been Avengers: Civil War, because honestly that's what it was. With Captain America in the title he should have the dominating presence of the whole film. Instead, each character has equal shared screen time.

One thing that this movie does well is it brings on the emotions, and hard. As a friend of mine said once we were done watching the movie, ""I never expected to cry this much during a Marvel movie."" That's one of the biggest driving factors the movie has. You feel for every single character for different reasons. It's not only emotional for the characters on screen, it's also emotional for the viewers watching, maybe even more so because we're connecting with them all.

The action and fight choreography is amazing. Watching Black Panther fight was like watching a ballet. Winter Soldier is an all-around badass. Everything he does (the good and the bad) leaves your mouth open in awe.

Finally, we have a great villain. This man isn't just evil for the sake of being evil. He has a backstory that justifies what he's doing. He has a motive, and his motive is actually pretty rational, even though it's not right. Plus, he actually pulled it off. When you start sympathizing with the enemy, the filmmakers are doing something right.

I had my reservations about the new Spiderman at first, but after watching him in action I can sigh with relief. Black Panther is hands down my favorite part of the movie. His character is strong- willed, he knows what he wants, and he sets out to do it no matter what. He's also very calm and rational in what he does. He's respectable, as he should be. Both Ant-man and Spiderman offer up some great comic relief.

The way this movie was made is how all movies should be made, not just CBM's.",8
"I'm really desperate for some good sci-fi. It doesn't have to be great, just good. I don't understand how these people spent so much time (and presumably money) on making these great alien world landscapes, cgi spaceships and etc. Etc.

But the actual content of the show is your run of the mill family drama.

""the power of family will win the day"" ""only true love can prevail"" ""blablabla""

there is no tension, we all know that the characters will all be fine in the end because they love each other and stuff. Seriously, who is this show for? Clearly not me!

Oh well, NEXT!",2
"Oh my...

Another ""Science Fiction"" film made by those geniuses who never took a science class in life.

Interstellar, is a boring slow, plodding condescending type of film that thinks is much more smart than it realty is.

Cant't just people go and explore three planets without this melodramatic nonsense? Wouldn't it be much better if all this humanist approach was discarded in favor of a story based on the true adventure of traveling through a wormhole?

If people want drama there are a huge number of other (much better) films. If I want to feel bad I will watch Schindler's list... If I want some good Science Fiction I will watch Aliens. Is it that hard for people to get it?

This was supposed to be a science fiction adventure, for god's sake. Why do these genius have to butcher what could have been a great film with all this over-bloated sentimentalism, this sacchariny mess?

This is yet another proof that the masses are brain dead. They laud anything that is over complicated, with mindless twists, with some sort of stupid revelation as the work of a genius.

Interstellar is another extremely over rated film. It rivals Prometheus in stupidity!

I'd rather shoot a nail through my foot than ever watching it again...",1
"Fargo is the first Coen brothers movie to really attract some critical and box office success and the first film to start attracting the attention that the Coens' should have been getting all along. Fargo is yet another of their twisted fairy tales that can be watched over and over and you never get tired of it. Coen regulars Frances McDormand, Peter Stormare, and Steve Buscemi all do a fabulous job. William H. Macy does his character so well that this role will follow him the rest of his career. The sets and scenery perfectly portray the bleak midwestern landscape. Like other Coen films, this movie blends seriousness and humor to keep the mood light and keep the film from being a bland downer. There are better Coen films out there but this remains one of their best. Bottom Line: It's a great movie and one well worth buying. If you haven't seen it yet you're missing out.",9
"Not the best nor the worst film. It is uneven in execution. The film takes the time to develop plot and character but doesn't always succeed. The scenes of sex and violence that punctuate the progress of the story distract from this development. There is warning on the IMBD page that there is rape, violence and sexuality so if those elements are something you find repellent don't watch the movie then complain. I fast forwarded a couple torture scenes toward the end. I wouldn't call the film propaganda since both the Russian and Americans had contrasting characters who were flawed in similar ways. This is a movie to watch and forget.",6

Watching ALPHA reminds me a great novel Michelle Paver's Chronicles of Ancient Darkness. The novel told the history of relationship between wolf & human in prehistoric Europe 6000 years ago. ALPHA is great in cinematography but weak in story. Need more drama to describe how the bonding between Keda & Alpha exist & increase.,6
"you get to see a beautiful movie only once in a blue moon....and thats precisely what guru is....well written,well made,well enacted & very well a superb movie.....guru had been the cynosure of all movie buffs in the last few days(who were expecting lots) and has truly lived up to that expectation...

so we have Mr. 'no nonsense' Abhishek Bachchan playing the lead Gurukant Desai...a man who struggles hard to fulfil his dream ...hats off to Aby baby...he has indeed proved his acting skills and done enough to keep the critics quiet.....

and there is the beauty goddess Aishwarya Rai playing 'sujatha'- a 'villager' who didn't want to get marry so seen....ash!you have done a marvelous job...her song 'barso re' indeed is breathtaking.... there are so many other elements in the movie to keep you hooked on...we have a plethora of talent--madhavan,vidya balan,mithun da(yeah his comeback done for good') among others....not too forget the tantalizing mallika sherawat swinging to the Arabic-Persian combo-'may ya may ya'....

all in all the movie is one heck of a superb movie.....gotta watch it out you people...",10
Don't think it's too great at all. I have a short review,3
A lot better than I thought it would be. I thought it was going to be as ridiculous as Wandavision & Loki. Good story but really didn't see the point of Sharon Carter but I never did in the films either. She wasn't needed in this and the story would've been fine without her. Don't get me started on EVC acting either.,7
"What is the world coming to? This is the worst show I have seen in my life, masquerading as a comedy. How can anyone enjoy watching this crap? I managed to watch 3 episodes and hoped for it to become more civilized, but no, it continued to be crude and vulgar, not worth a laugh.

If you want a comedy, you don't need herpes simplex as an underlying cause for the demise of humankind. In the future kissing is out but some sexual act is in, for release of tension. Maybe the show is meant for sexually deprived people.

I have given it a low rating, not for the acting which is bad enough. I was drawn to this series because it is supposed to be sci-fi. But even that failed. Taking it all in leaves me with a score of 3. Enough is enough.",3
This is a story about mega corporations and how there steere governments.,8
"The show tries to deliver a realism surrounding grief and tragedy.

While Mare is the main actress, she is not the only victim or hardship. Her cadre of women in the famous Lady Hawk game are also victim of a drugs, infidelity, suicide, homicide, etc.

Overall, I'm trying to say this show was great but it wasn't.

I found myself gripping myself in certain areas, but in others failing. The crime story isn't really thought out well, which is a real disappointment because Mare / Kate Winslett were great. But you can't act a subpar plot.

Overall, this deserved to be on LifeTime. Not saying I wouldn't watch, but I am saying, it's not something that's HBO caliber.",5
"Save yourself and avoid this one! I give this a 2 only because some of the acting is good. Scorcese is going for something here, so it's not lazy filmmaking. But I feel like I got the message about 45 minutes into the movie and it didn't go anywhere from there. In all fairness, I missed the last 20-30 minutes because I just couldn't take it anymore. Some ruthless cutting of the screenplay would have helped some, but I don't know if there's much to salvage. The experience of seeing this was rather like having a really stressful day at work where nothing actually gets accomplished. A lot of the ladies are beautiful, but the sex is ugly - demeaning to both women and men. Oh, but I guess it's really about Wall Street. And the motivational speeches to the troops go on forever. I don't think there was a scene in this film that employed any economy of storytelling whatsoever. One critic (approvingly) described this as the last half hour of Goodfellas stretched out to three hours and that's pretty true. It reminded me a bit of the single-mindedness of Raging Bull, but was much harder to sit through. I think it's a bad sign when you start hoping that some of the characters will die of an overdose just so they'll shut up.",2
"In terms of expectations, Iron Man 2 started as a quite different beast compared to its predecessor. After all, the first film was ""burdened"" by a protagonist without the mainstream appeal of, say, Spider-Man, a director better known as a character actor (Jon Favreau) and a leading man whose career has been shaky to say the least (Robert Downey Jr.). As it turned out, Iron Man was just what movie audiences needed, becoming a surprise hit, cementing Downey Jr. and Favreau's reputations as go-to guys in the industry (with the former winning a Golden Globe for Sherlock Holmes and the latter hired to direct another comic-book picture, Cowboys and Aliens) and kick-starting a new on-screen Marvel Universe, no longer limited by the issue of rights belonging to different studios (with the exception of pre-established franchises like X-Men and Spider-Man, characters are now freely allowed to cross over, just like in the comics). How do you follow that? With a sequel that retains the same spirit, but goes further in terms of scope and ambition.

Set six months after the conclusion of the first film, Iron Man 2 shows Tony Stark (Downey Jr.) in a tight spot: since he came clean about his double identity, his fame has reached sky-high proportions, but with the consequence that the US government (here embodied by Garry Shandling's annoying Congressman) wants the Iron Man suit for themselves. Additionally, the very thing keeping him alive - the arc reactor that has effectively replaced his biological heart - is slowly killing him (radiation poisoning), and two very different bad guys - business rival Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell) and former engineer-turned-supervillain Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke) - are planning ways to get rid of him permanently. Lucky for him, Pepper (Gwyneth Paltrow), Rhodey (Don Cheadle, replacing Terrence Howard) and new secretary ""Natalie"" (Scarlett Johansson) are willing to help, assuming Tony doesn't destroy himself in the process...

Sequels are tricky by definition, and Iron Man 2 is a particularly tough one to pull off since it not only has to satisfy as a standalone follow-up (however paradoxical that may sound), but also set up events for the other movies that will make up the expanded Marvel movie universe. It all started with Samuel L. Jackson's cameo in the first movie's post-credits scene (followed by Downey Jr. making an appearance in The Incredible Hulk a month later), and this time the actor is allowed more screen-time - heck, he even gets his name in the opening credits - to do his usual stuff and set up The Avengers (plus minor hints at Thor and Captain America) in an intriguing way, without ever giving the impression that he's stealing someone else's movie.

And that's the real key behind Iron Man 2's success: it is an Iron Man flick, retaining the original's winning combination of action and humor, thanks to Justin Theroux's witty script and Favreau's effortless direction. Like most sequels, it goes dark in places, but this isn't Nolan's Batman, meaning that a lighter mood generally prevails (see the alcoholism subplot). Like the first film, the follow-up is a bit of a let-down when it comes to the climactic showdown (again, way too long), but otherwise it delivers everything it promised: the special effects are flawless (Exhibit A: the Monte Carlo race track sequence), the laughs and thrills are evenly balanced and everyone in the cast is fully game, from Rockwell and Rourke's riotous double act to Cheadle easily filling Howard's shoes, not to mention some welcome extra material for the director himself, who gets to be as funny as ever in the always entertaining company of Johansson. As usual, though, this is Downey's show from start to finish, and he slips into Stark's skin so perfectly it's damn near impossible not to raise expectations for the next installment.

Bottom line: as a piece in Marvel's expanding cinematic world, Iron Man 2 is as satisfying as one could anticipate. As its own thing, it's a fun, energetic follow-up that confirms the charm of comic-book movies and, much like its printed counterpart, leaves the door open for endless new possibilities. In other words: bring on number three...",8
"Over the top special effects movie that overshadow the plot and interesting concept. Actually a very very simple plot. Visually excellent, if you are impressed with studio effects that you see in so many action movies. I guess.

Simple plot line but complicated presentation that left me lost twice lost until about 10 minutes later. Then, ""I got it."" After one or two of those you get the hang of it. This is how the movie is structured – they tell you and then reinforce. Kindergarten for adults. It is all very clear but you have to pay attention The problem is the action scenes are over the top. How many snow chases have you seen? There are bad guys that can't shoot and good guys who seem to be wimps that beat the heck out of the soldiers and thugs. This isn't real life. How many times do we need to watch the fight scene in the hotel hallway? Why do they go on and on? Boy is this tedious! There is a lot of time and special effects used for a simple plot line.

It's a ying and yang movie. I guess I would call it a cognition or attribution movie coupled with overly done, seen it before shoot it up scenes used to present what were interesting concepts. It is simple action movie and I think it could have been a thinker's movie.",3
"Even though Avatar is of American origin, it has a lot of Japanese anime influence, particularly visually, but keeps the best of both animation cultures with it's American sense of playfulness and more realized characterization. The creators of Avatar have really crafted an artistic piece of fun and creative storytelling that is a rare gem for American TV. Avatar has strength in all the major areas of film and story, starting at ground level with an exceptionally believable world setting where war is taking place among the different nations. The main characters who find themselves caught in this struggle are three teens named Katara, Sokka, and Aang (the Avatar) who have set forth to bring harmony to the world through their influence and through the powers of the still developing Avatar. There is lot of humor and fun in this show, and you can't help but to really love these characters and their pets. But this is just the beginning of the glue that keeps you coming back. Great plots and stunning visuals are just as much of importance to the overall success of the show. The story lines are top notch, being both episodic in nature and chronologically integral from one show to the next. Each episode usually introduces a new and genuinely interesting opposition and/or characters to be overcome by the end of the show, and visually there is plenty of awe inspiring backgrounds and quality animation. With just enough well paced action, some sincere points of moral conviction (can you believe it), and witty humor makes the show a winning combination. This is entertainment for all ages, and definitely a must see.",10
"Can't help hating some of the casting choices. At least one star gets retracted because of him. He's just not a good fit, however good his acting is. Also too tall especially compared to Mothers Milk who's supposed to be big as the Mountain.

The actress playing Starlight is also not perfect. Not looking the part as well as over acting - annoying, or straight out a bad actress.

I also don't think The Female is played by the right actress. Too old looking.

Well these are personal annoyances. I hold the comic book in high regard.",7
"Tarrantino did what he set out to do in Pulp Fiction –- making a wacky, nonlinear piece of entertainment full of gratuitously over-the-top dialogue (or monologue) and violence. He made that clear even in the title; it's just a highly charged but disposable fiction. He succeeded quite nicely.

However, many his fans are trying to make it more than what it is, a cool but undemanding movie. While it's refreshing compared to typical banality supplied by mainstream Hollywood, it's far from a truly great classic some fans want people to believe. Interestingly, that's probably not Tarrantino's intention in the first place",6
"Tone, Script & Story: The story highlights how a fake CBI teams loots the wealthy. It highlights few of the loot scenarios.

It was in my mind that this team loots the money from officials like those in government i.e they loot from corrupt officials but their last raid highlights something else and that was an ethical drawback for me.

Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: Neeraj Pandey is one of the best directors. Although not as good as Baby, A Wednesday or M.S.Dhoni: The untold story, still special Chabbis is good enough. I would like to highlight something more than any of the factors like writer, cast, music, etc the factor that gets me going the most is direction. Neeraj has his reputation in that in good sense. Music: Music is average. Acting: Acting is justified.

Final Verdict: Average treat that could have been scripted better to be ethically strong.",8
"Everything is superfluous and nothing is in detail. After investing so much time in it, you don't even know what their product is. They tried to replicate silicon valley and it failed.

You'll know what I mean if you watch silicon valley. There should be a product, a pitch, some failures, the struggle, etc etc. Nothing in this. The shows name itself is the pitchers and there's not a single pitch in the whole show. They just drag and drag and finally end it with no pitches and not even a product.

It's not very bad. It's a time pass watch. Just don't expect too much from this show and you might like it.",6
It's weird to see many reviews saying the start is slow and weaker than the rest of the show. The first episodes are actually the ones that make this show unique in the MARVEL franchise. The rest is very Marvel. We have all seen it in many many movies before. Not saying that its bad. The quality of the show is really good but once the show turned all typical Marvel it became just old Marvel. TV shows really help character development for characters that have not (yet) had their big standalone movies. I was shockingly surprised by the performance of Lizzie. She was simply amazing. Just a notch better than everyone else who also did a really a good job. If you just want the same Marvel formula over and over again and just enjoy that part than just keep watching to the end. You will be treated well. If you are like me and love to see more creativity in the MCU franchise than the first episodes are the ones to watch out for! Unfortunately 10/10 is out of the question. Compared to some other shows it lacked depth but no doubt it was a fun ride with lots and lots of lovely detail and easter eggs for those who are really into the Marvel comics and not just here for the entertainment.,8

"I came here to write a review specifically about the character Ani, but upon seeing previous reviews, there's nothing left to be said. The show apparently needed a voice in the background because Hannah isn't there to do it, so they introduce us to a RANDOM character and make us believe she was included in this very VERY closed off group because...that's exactly how high school works, right? Love the actress, hated the character. This show turned teen detective very quickly, and the main story line is everyone is lying about something, but what clue can us teen detectives find at the end of each episode to bring truth to a lie. Every time.

I DO have to say something about the cinematography and lighting and editing. That was awesome and these poor teams hardly get credit. The seamless transitions to flashbacks worked like, for the lack of a better term, like magic. You watch a character walk away, but in the same shot as the lighting changes see the character emerge again in the flashback. Standing ovation for that. I loved it.",7
"You know how good movies make you feel, leaving you expired and with some thoughts and questions in your mind. Well it's not one of them. The only question this movie leaves you with is: ""What is this"" and the only though is ""I just wasted 2 hours and 12 minutes of my life"". The whole movie doesn't have a flow, is so predictable in the first part, like they try to put oh the poor vs the rich, phrases like 'oh he smells like underground'. Whatever the creators wanted to show they failed. Watching this movie thinking it got all the Oscars made this bad movie feel even worse.",5
"From what i have understood from the user reviews you either like it or you hate it. some people expected and wanted more action but the movie isn't really about that. it contains quite a few graphic scenes which i think were suiting but some times unnecessary. over all i enjoyed it, the acting wasn't bad, i don't really know about the accents but considering most actors are not actually Russian they did a good job. the plot was really interesting and it all looked realistic. would watch again sometime in the feature.",8
"Amazing series by TVF, great storyline and fabulous artwork done by everyone.",7
"In the first 15 minutes of this movie I wanted to turn it off. It was just a bunch of obligatory swearing and had no value at all. If you can get past the beginning though it turns out to be a decent comedy worth watching.

It is the usual teen movie story line. A group of teenage losers hatch a plan to buy alcohol for a party in order to impress girls and lose their virgin status. Now, I saw a problem with the cast already. Michael Cera seems to be only able to play the same boring, nerdy, over thinking, teen character in every single movie he is in, and Jonah Hill is not much better. The usual nasal boredom of their voices usually makes me want to shoot myself for listening the to movie going sheep who love these movies. I watched it anyway and found it to be a pretty funny movie.

It turns into a teen misadventure movie that is rather well crafted and a fun ride. Fogel ""McLovin"" (Christopher Mintz-Plasse ) is definitely the best character in the movie, and Bill Hader and Seth Rogan make great appearances as bored cops out or a little fun.

It IS a basic teen movie but the misadventures make it worth watching and it actually met the expectations that a lot of people touted. Again, if you are an average person of adult age that doesn't spend every waking moment of your life playing video games and smoking pot, it may be hard to get through the beginning, but from then on out it will still have some good comedic value.

"I get the premise of a real person in the middle of a fake trial - Truman style - but it just didn't work for me.

The show was set up as a giant candid camera episode and the actors played their parts exceptionally well - If they had been real people it would have been excruciating TV to watch - but why did they do talking head shots to camera in character ? It was almost as though I was supposed to forget they were actors and get immersed in the trial, but the whole point of the show is that it's a massive joke at the expense of the one real person who wasn't in on it.

Poor Ronald was a great guy, his reactions are really special, and he was clearly selected for the show with excellent care.

But I won't be watching any more episodes than the 2 I gave it.",3
"I like it so far, if you gave this 1 star after two episodes give your head a shake. Someone literally one star'd and gave the last season of that walking dead 8/10. Let it play out before you talk down. Tom's acting is amazing and Owen Wilson killed it. No way this warrants a 1/10.",7
"Here we go again. All the film critics with their unrealistically high expectations. People seem to forget that this studio (aka Netflix) has only been around for a fraction of what the big studios have been around for. So with that in mind - this was actually pretty good. But with that being said - this movie was nothing THAT special. It was pretentious AF. It thought it was the movie of the year. And it wasn't. Like, when Kate Hudson was acting (which was very obvious), it was like she was saying ""Oh, look at me, I'm like Cameron Diaz, but better. Look at me!! I can act too!! I just don't want to.""

So for the actual storyline - 1st half of the movie is a total snooze fest. Be ready for it. But you need to watch it in order for the 2nd half of the movie to make sense which is where you finally get some action. It's not a lot and the little bit that we get at the end is so totally over the top and pointless but they tried. I mean, we have to give them credit for at least trying. Most movies are not even trying these days. But seriously, what's with the 10 minute sequence of breaking things at the end?? There was so much emphasis put on that scene that I thought ""Surely this must be important for the story!"" But nope - not relevant at all. It was just a cheap way to add some action in an otherwise somewhat slow movie.

Janelle Monae totally stole the show though. Honestly, I just couldn't get enough of her. And I love how she plays double duty and her characters makes a full 180. You have to watch it to see what I mean but it was good. At first it's like WTF but then it's all explained and it makes sense and you're like ""Yaaas!! You go queen!!""

Overall, not a bad movie. But as everyone else said - not as good as the first one.",6
"I mean... are we really okay with this kind of sloppiness?

Story? The pacing is terrible, the dialogue is contrived, and the plot 'twists' are, well, no more than slight turns (and always in a predictable way). Only fans of the game and the books really know what is happening in the story and it feels a bit like being left out of an inside joke. The quality of a new work should not depend on whether you are privy to the source material. It wouldn't have worked for GoT if they did it like this, and it doesn't work here.

Characters? The only one that isn't completely insufferable is The Bard, because he's at least funny. And if there is any character development worth noting, for any character, please someone find it for me, because it's extremely well hidden.

Action? The fight scenes are actually the best part (which is where the two stars of this review come from).

Marvel and the other large franchises have done one major disservice to us viewers; they've standardized 'loud and exciting' and put 'story and quality' in the corner for a time out. It's really sad, to be honest, and this show (and it's current rating of 8.6) is just more proof that the largest group of audience members only care only about what flashes brightest in front of their eyes, and not what makes them feel in their hearts.

Unfortunately, this show sullies one of my favorite genres of film and T.V.",2
"It's long, and I don't mean in time length, but plot. It FEELS loooooong. The LOTR trilogy flew by. This...did not. And I'd love to know why Cpt. Marvel was in there at all. The climax is amazing. It is truly the climax of climaxes, but that's not surprising. Any superhero movie with its salt, is going to have a badass battle against good and evil.",2
"Why is it that nobody, I mean NOBODY, seems to ever get this genre right anymore. Space exploration and colonization could be very exciting and thrilling in a positive way, or even merely thought-provoking, but instead, time and time again, we get hokey ""interpersonal drama"" (and in this case even hokey dysfunctional-family hokey melodrama) with introspective, negative, downbeat, self-absorbed, overwrought characters against what is practically a horror movie backdrop. I mean, it seems a crime to spend so much money doing so much creative art department work just to blow it all as though the writers and producers had skipped Storytelling 101 (not to mention, 102, 201, 202 . . . ) in school, but instead think that glomming together a series of impossible cliffhangers and a few sci-fi nuggets on top of such unlovable characters is going to be compelling entertainment. So, once again I found myself starting yet another off-network TV series which I know I will give up watching before the first season is through.",5
"This is really silly movie but also very enjoyable. I would say this is harmless feel good entertainment at it's very best. Totally different roles for Shah Rukh Khan and Boman Irani compared to Don (2006)! SRK has never looked as good as in this film, short hair really suits him well. Zayed Khan is cute but overacted a bit. Actresses did a good job and were not annoying at all, that's rare in Bollywood movies (IMO, I'm a white European female).

I love such SRK movies as DDLJ, Duplicate, K3G, Don and Om Shanti Om (another Farah Khan gem) but I have watched this one most often. I would recommend this one to anyone not familiar with Bollywood films as a good starting point. Too bad we can't see Bollywood movies on big screen here in Finland!",9
This movie takes way too long and nothing really happens...,3
"Everything about this movie makes it one of the best if not the best indian movie (Crime, Action, Comedy)in 2022.

The cast is well chosen everyone knows his role, additionally, the main characters are hidden in plain sight which makes the movie more interesting and appealing to those who are seeking the truth.

Everyone will be judged for his good deeds and bad ones as well. The poor will always envy the rich for what they have and good people will be left a side in this war between those who got everything and those who will do anything in their power to obtain everything.

The title of the movie is excellent choice and the cast, the twisted plot makes everything perfect.

Just perfect.

9/10 11/11/2022.

Highly Recommended.",9
"I'm usually quite decisive when it comes to rating films, but Jojo Rabbit has me in a bit of a quandry. I enjoyed the touching storyline of 10-year-old 'Hitler youth' Jojo (Roman Griffin Davis) befriending Elsa (Thomasin McKenzie), the Jewish girl he finds hiding in his home. And I enjoyed the general irreverent tone and quirky satire. But I didn't laugh. Not once. And since I believe this is intended to be a comedy, I can't say that it is a complete success. A rating of 5 feels a little unfair, since the film is an undeniably unique and visually impressive experience, but at the same time it seems like a reasonable score for something that has left me feeling unsatisfied as a whole.

I definitely wish that Roman Griffin Davis and Archie Yates (who plays Jojo's friend Yorki) hadn't filmed an introduction for the preview I attended: it made it harder to accept them as their characters, which, to be honest, wasn't that easy in the first place because neither is particularly convincing. The adults are far better, with Stephen Merchant as a nasty Gestapo officer Deertz almost making me smile, and Sam Rockwell shining as Captain Klenzendorf, a disillusioned soldier who isn't as bad as he first seems. Director Taika Waititi mercilessly mocks Adolf Hitler, who appears to Jojo as an imaginary friend - he's fun (but not funny). Scarlett Johansson is extremely likeable as Jojo's loving mother, and even Rebel Wilson, who I normally can't stand, was bearable as cruel Nazi Fraulein Rahm.

5/10. I might like it more on a second viewing. Then again, I might dislike it more.",5
"Great score and I really like the development of events. The pace this show has is actually captivating.

But if each time someone says ""What?"", ""I don't know"" or James says ""Ok"" I wanna seriously hit them all in the face.",8
"While the conceptualization in this film was better in some ways than the movies it can and obviously will be compared to such as the Matrix trilogy,What Dreams May Come, The Cell, Memento etc., Inception is a tepid foray into brain-twisting cinema. Though it was enjoyable to wade through in some parts (the high tension in any of the scenes that Cotillard's Mal appears in), over all it was a lackluster and vacuous failed masterpiece of the same ilk as a Thomas Kinkade painting. To wit: after you realize that those pretty glowing windows embedded in pretty little thatched cottages and dreamily lit street lamps are all the same cookie cut-outs, without context or variation, you are either irretrievably bored or just plain irritated by the time your brain wasted on this pretty patchwork of nothing - or both.

Most of the cast is just pacing the prosaic floors of patent ""decent"" acting against Nolan's backdrop abyss of homogenized scenery. Two notable exceptions to this were Marion Cotillard as Mal and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Arthur. I found myself rousing to pay more attention when both were on screen. Cotillard fairly stole the movie (not a necessarily hard feat, given that the rest of the cast aside from Gordon-Levitt appeared to be sleepwalking through most of it) keeping one on edge waiting for (and hoping desperately for) ""Mal"" to return in some way to cause havoc. The name Mal is a complete symbolic stretch as the word ""mal"" in French means ""evil"" or ""bad."" Is Mr. Nolan attempting to moderate a Great Books club examination of symbolism in junior high literature?

Gordon-Levitt's Arthur is a cool character that screams of being secretly afflicted with OCD. He's definitely ready for more mature roles, but this film could not do his performance justice.

DiCaprio turns in a solid, if not slightly bland, performance. The role was clearly not much of a stretch for him and immensely less compelling than his performances recently in films such as The Departed, Shutter Island and Redemption Road.

My biggest issue with the movie is with the casting of Ellen Page as Ariadne. First, the character of Ariadne is even weaker and more limpid by contrast to the other characters. It is not the youth and inexperience of the unseasoned apprentice that is driving the weakness of the character. It is the character altogether and the way in which it and the corresponding dialogue was written. In addition (and this will no doubt be an unpopular assessment), Ellen Page has once again turned in an uninspired, wooden, robotic performance. Juno was perfect casting for Page and I enjoyed her in that movie in-so-much as she was practically playing her unflappable, sarcastic, pseudo-intellectual-underachiever self. Great role, but from what I've seen of her after that - a complete one-off. In Inception she appears asexual in contrast to Cotillard who fairly oozes the stuff of warm bodies and sexuality even in death and as a ghost of a memory. While the part may not have required Page to be overtly sexual, her lack of anything approaching genuine emotion and reaction ends up further robbing her portrayal of veracity and meat. Playing against DiCaprio, who is able to channel and evince convincing emotion and reaction at the drop of a hat, does not help her case.

The backdrop scenery and visual conception was a CGI snooze fest. The intended poignant (and, again, symbolically heavy-handed) decaying ruins juxtaposed with the generic modern linear lines of any old corporately urban scape are meant to showcase the mind's dilemmas and free-style architectural skills when in a dream state. Instead of exploring and creating these scapes in some Borgesesque way that might actually tease order into chaos and the reverse, these elaborate digitized models looked like the computerized simulations an urban-planning student might create to illustrate how a disaster effects structures or where to build the next access ramp - confusing, decaying, crumbling and boring.

I initially gave this film a much better review. Unfortunately for it, I watched both Chinatown and The Godfather II the very next day and snapped back into the realities of what master filmmaking should be. I must hand it to the studio on this one: your mega publicity campaign for this film served you well. You managed to convince a movie-going public that is so much in the throes of economic and political turmoil that it wants nothing so much as an escape into a good film for a few hours that this film is much, much more innovative and substantive than it can ever deliver on.",4
"Well, given this movie made so much money there will be another because Hollywood is that greedy. I didn't have any expectations because frankly, I love the 1986 original. Kelly, McGillis, Meg Ryan, Anthony Edwards, Tom Skerritt, Val Kilmer, Tom Cruise and the rest of the cast all worked beautifully and there was a fluid, high energy pace. Top Gun Maverick falls flat in the middle. While Jennifer Connelly is easy on the eyes her and Cruise have no chemistry. The rest of the cast is forgettable as well. Besides the fight scenes there's nothing original. If a sequel was going to be made it needed to be done 5 years after not 30 years later. A talented writer could have come up with a storyline and it didn't need to involve Goose or his family.",2
"The visuals and sounds are A+, but the storytelling was pretty mediocre most of the time.",7
It's the worst big movie of the year and one of the worst movies I've ever seen! Words can't actually describe how ugly is it !! The only good thing about the movie is Brad Pitt !,3
"Okay so I don't really know why but I don't like this movie. It just feels like it doesn't belong in the MCU. It feels childish and unnecessary. One of the worst MCU movies for me unfortunately. A lot of new characters got announced and introduced though, so it still was important for the future of the MCU. Still disappointing 4/10.",4
"I am going to say this right now...this is the last movie that had a truly great and original plot.

No film made after this has a really brilliant idea behind it's story like Fargo. The plot is pretty simple and goes something like this: A man wants money, so he hires two people to kidnap his wife so her rich husband can pay the ransom. That's pretty much it. Of course, nothing goes right and people end up getting killed, beat up, axed, whipped, and chopped into tiny bits.

Apart from the original concept, this film actually has mostly everything else working in it's favor. The writing it funny, directing is pretty laid-back, but gets the job done without looking dull or too stylistic, and the acting is mostly good. Only thing that bothers me is Frances MacDormand actually winning an Acadmey Award for her role. How that ever happened is truly a mystery, not to mention the first thing people should consider when contemplating the credibility of the Oscars.

I have absolutely no trouble saying that this is, without a doubt, the Coen's best film...by far. It's hard to imagine that the same people who made that film also made Miller's Crossing. Seriously, I'd rather watch grass grow in the winter than have to suffer though that poor dialogue-fest once more. They are on opposite ends of the entertainment and artistic quality spectrum's.",8
"To be honest the build up to this series was big and i did expect more from it but its still awesome, shocking and at time jaw dropping.

The effects are awesome but i expected more, theres a lot of things dragged out.",9
"...but during the first episode and into the second I could see it had contracted ""Earth 2"" and ""Terra Nova"" disease already...two shows with great premises that were cancelled quickly...because the writers for some reason decided that every episode should begin to focus on stupid children doing stupid things. I recall about a third of the way through Terra Nova's one season I was hoping a raptor would eat all the kids and get them off the show. And as for ""Space""...""Mrs."" Robinson is totally unlikable. What an obnoxious character.",1
"TV shows like Hannibal comes once in a decade. The story, characters, soundtrack, everything is top notch. The second season of Hannibal is a memerizing,riveting and sickening experience that evolves the series with true artistic and dark gravitas as it builds to one of the most operatic climaxes in television history.",10
"I like a moody, meaningful film just as much as the next person, but this is a big ol' NOPE from me. I gave it two stars only because it had Octavia Spencer in it and I would probably pay to watch her read the dictionary onscreen.

Eliza is a mute cleaning lady who works in a government lab, along with Zelda (Octavia Spencer). Eliza is entranced by an Amphibian Man who is being kept at the lab. She builds a relationship with him and feels a kinship due to both of them being unable to speak. Eventually she breaks him out and keeps him in her bathtub, where they take their relationship to the next level. I can't tell you what happens at the end because I walked out. That's right. For only the second time in my more-than-a-century lifetime, I walked out of a movie I paid to see.

There was a lot of water symbolism that felt like the director hammering it in with a sledgehammer. Look - water! Look here - more water!! I did enjoy Eliza's relationship with her neighbor, which seemed much like a father-daughter or brother-sister connection.

The whole reason I chose this movie in the first place was due to the praise heaped on it by reviewers and the awards for which is has been nominated. As I have sadly learned, Hollywood cannot be trusted to know which movies are worth seeing.",2
"No depth in character other than the 2 lead characters... so slow and boring, and losing interest so fast in conversation. Felt sleepy, with no action or any good drama. Everything conversation between characters seems so meaningless, high rating just because the first couple of episodes were good as an adaption of a great game. It's like the series has no soul, it's missing the human touch. Even in the first episode game had a more emotional cut scene than the show. Even after 5 episodes, they failed to show the epidemic effects. Even infected(Zombies) lol, there is no action. If you liked the pilot episode, that's it... you won't find anything interesting in the next 5 episodes.",1
"If you are planning to watch or just started to watch, tolerate it for first 4-5 episodes and you are in for a very engaging ride.

We started watching based on our little one's request and also because it is one of those few series that you can watch with a kid. No sensual content, gore or foul language.

The first 4-5 episodes were really amateur and me & my wife looked at each other thinking ""oh god.. we have to tolerate this for next 20+ episodes"".. You had everything happening in the first 4-5 episodes, from amateur acting to ordinary screenplays, not so impressive VFX & dialogues, to poor writing, direction etc

But I bet, the series will really surprise you as it moves along after 5 episodes... It felt almost as if, after the first 4-5 episodes, the producers took the director, the writer, the actors and the entire team and locked them up in a studio and said ""unless you are gonna come back & fix this $h!t up going forward, am not letting you guys out !!"" :-)

Pretty much everything starts to impress you from great Writing to nail-biting screenplay, awesome VFX and not to mention Acting and Dialogues... All of this together makes it really engaging watch all the way till the end of season 2. And we cannot wait to watch Season 3.

My personal fav scene was (in Severed episode), the one when they hide in a box and are caught in the space by a jupitor.. Sounds pretty dumb when you read it, but beautifully made in screen... Watch it know what i am talking about.. Final word.. Go for it",9
"I had the pleasure of seeing Jodhaa Akbar in theaters, something I rarely get the chance to do with Bollywood movies. I must say, the $10 ticket price was well worth it, as Jodhaa Akbar was a truly great film, and I feel like I wouldn't have done it justice had I seen it on my tiny TV screen at home.

As you probably know already, Jodhaa Akbar is the story of the Emperor Akbar and his Hindu Rajput wife Jodhaa Bai. I think it's fairly obvious that the love story here is mostly fiction. So, if you're expecting to see this movie and get some kind of 100% factual history lesson here, this movie may not be for you. While the love story isn't 100% accurate, there are many events in the film that, according to a history book I read, did really occur in Akbar's life.

Needless to say, the sets, costumes, and choreography and cinematography are all amazing. The songs by AR Rahman are some of his best in a while, and are all blended very well either into the background score or as actual dancing. For those of you who are scared of any kind of typical Bollywood ""dancing around trees and mountains,"" for Akbar and Jodhaa, have no fear, there's none of that. Some songs, such as Kwaja meere Kwaja, are done with very simple choreography, which keeps it very light and realistic. Azeem o Shaan Shahenshah is really the only song where we see people break out dancing, but that too is done as a show for the King, and does not seem to interrupt the script at all.

Hrithik and Aishwarya are good as the leads. Neither of them gave a particularly outstanding performance, but they play their roles well enough, and neither over-acts as they seem to in most movies that I've seen of theirs. The two also share some great chemistry in the romantic scenes of the movie.

My only huge complaint about this movie is the very beginning, which seems to drag a bit. It was necessary, however, for those who don't know much about Indian history to get some background info about the times, etc, so I can't blame them for putting this in.

Overall, I would whole-hearted recommend this movie to anyone who wants to be dazzled by visuals and enjoy a great story at the same time. I can only hope that the other blockbusters of 2008 can live up to this standard.",8
"This is my first time watching the movie, even though I've known it all my life. It was the first time I decided to see it through my own lens. The cinematography and colors truly convey what it's like to live in the world inside Forrest's mind. He is not just the narrator but also the ""creative director"" and the very landscape the film portrays.

However, I feel it has aged and remained in the past. I couldn't help but constantly think about all the contemporary issues involved in Jenny's reality. I couldn't even believe her words as the story came to an end. Right there at the end, I felt that she no longer belonged to that destiny - Forrest's destiny.

This review is biased, but that's my conclusion. As a young adult of the 21st century, I notice the gender disparity - even though it might have been acceptable in the imagined setting of the 1970s - and realized that relying on others was a privilege only experienced by men.",6
Mysterio aside this film this film felt like pointless filler. It's tough to go back to these small-scale stories after the likes of Endgame. They're going to need to dig a lot deeper than this to make the new phase anything more than redundant.,3
"Really disappointed with Shazam!... It's not great but it's not that bad. I really don't know what to say, it's a weak plot with one or two good moments. I hoped to be laughing the entire movie by what i saw in the trailer but it was a little bit childish making you say ""really?"" through the entire thing. Will not see this again, one time is enough.",5
"I only watched the first two episodes and I did NOT fall in love with the series. I love Steve Martin and Martin Short, but this just doesn't grab me. Selena Gomez is a great actress, but even this doesn't do her justice.

The language is also a huge turn-off. I've heard so many F-bombs that it's not even funny.

Also--I know New York City is a great place to tour, but isn't it kinda overused? I keep thinking that Hollywood needs to explore other big, average, and small towns. I think you would find more material for future storylines if you didn't over use the giant cities like NYC. When you look outside the usual places, you can find unique personalities.",4
"My name is Khan is really a great film, because the story of Khan is fascinating: a man who fight for the understanding and tolerance between the people !!",8
"First of all - Completely terrible pacing for the first 30 minutes! Holy smokes!

Something just doesn't feel right the entire time with the tone of the content and the animation. Like it's light hearted moments don't really land properly with the pseudo-realistic attempt at the animals. It feels like this territory of 'live action' and this kind of material just does not work. Singing real looking lions is a hard sell in anyone's book but yeah - it doesn't hit the mark at all.

Much of the dialogue feels very weak. Some of the lines are terrible. 'Lions! Attack!' made my partner and I look at each other like 'what the heck is this?' I just can't fathom how someone could watch this and compare the experience to the original in terms of a homogenous film.

The comedic duo actually were great. But yeah... the rest I would leave.",2
"A beta male who just lives on the internet that has a poor connection. That's all you really get in this movie that tries way too hard to make it realistic, by watching from a viewpoint of the father's daily internet usage. So we see typos and buffering just to make this wet lettuce of a movie look authentic. An internet based Hallmark movie. Finishing with an absolute replica of a Scooby Doo ending.",3
"This is second film by director Neeraj Pandey who first directed A Wednesday!!. Special 26 is based on true incidents which happened in India in 1980's, a group of people used to raid(rob) politicians, businessmen posing themselves as CBI , Income Tax Officers. In simple words it is a chor-police drama. Special 26 lacks pace, content and dialogues (now-a-days dialogues can survive a film even if there is no content), but don't be mislead that this film is not a good one. Actually all this lacking is fulfilled by superb performances and some good background score. If you look at movie's promotional poster you will get a feel that Akshay Kumar is the lead here and he will carry this film on his shoulders but Akshay is just big on the poster. This movie has 3 heroes. 1. Ajju (Akshay Kumar) is the lead of fake CBI who plans their targets. This is one of the best performances of Akshay Kumar. 2. Sharmaji (Anupam Kher) is Ajju's deputy. I was amazed by how quickly he changes his roles. In one moment he is hesitant con-man and next moment he is fearless CBI officer who has the guts to slap a minister. Anupam Kher is the real star of this movie. 3. Waseem Khan (Manoj Bajpai): The real CBI officer. Mr. Bajpai never fails to impress and in this movie also he has done a fabulous job as CBI officer. Jimmy Shergill has played his part but there is nothing much to mention about it. Songs act as hindrance but apart from that director has done a brilliant job . Best part of the movie is there is no masala action , not a single gunshot is fired still the plot grips you and makes you clap for the heist. Special 26 is really a special one!

"The most one dimensional characters you will ever see


Characters are not only one dimensional but utterly insufferable


Humour more needlessly perverted and childish than blue mountain state


Feels more like a terrible american pie rip off than a supposed gritty look at a world with super humans.






The so called ""writers"" of this show do not know how humans react, do not know what effects marijuana has, do not know how to flesh out characters, do not know how to write a story, do not know how to write relationships, do not know how to write compelling ""villians"", do not know how to portray manipulation. This should could not possibly be any more out of touch or any more disconnected from the the appeal of the boys.

It is simply awful, no self awareness, no subtlety, no depth, no substance whatsoever. I have seen some people negatively commenting saying it is ""woke"" and on the other side I have seen people say they will watch it despite not liking it just because it ""triggers"" people. Both sides give the show far too much credit, inferring that enough thought went into it to have any kind of agenda is factually wrong, it is not handholding or mollycoddling, it's just laazy and poorly written. You could gather people who don't speak each others languages, who have never seen any of the boys and ask them to write a show a terrible show involving super heroes and they would not be able to concoct something worse than gen v, it is remarkable at how they have 100% missed every single step that makes the boys what it is.",1
"I can't recall having seen a much worse movie than this one. Thank god for the Coen brothers they were able to get a great actress like Frances McDormand to play in it or this would've been, in my opinion, a disgrace to Hollywood and the movie industry. The story is ridiculous and doesn't lead to anything besides an extremely gory ending.",3
I had high expectations from this one. But it turned out to be a dull affair. Story is boring and execution is terrible. Heavily disappointed.,1
"After so many years at last there is movie which can be more than once. Saif Ali khan has tried his best 9/10 for him .He can still work on his Punjabi.Deepika Padukone very heavy accent for a British .She should neutralize her thick Bombay-type accent for her own good. If you live outside India you can relate more to this movie. Rishi Kapoor is brilliant as usual. and for Imtiaz Ali , He has some special thing for Punjabi and turbans. He has done a great job with this movie. 10/10 .Great sense of humor running through the movie. MANGO PEOPLE..

Movie has a Hollywood feel when it starts ,which can be a negative for some audience but later it . Overall not your average mas-ala movie, you need some overseas exposure to understand the concept and idea behind this flick",10
"Anything can be taken apart and left in pieces, that will not look enticing for anyone. Going into this with no knowledge of the Marvel Cinematic Universe ... I am not sure how this will work out. Going into this with not the biggest knowledge of the comic and its character history but being up to date with the movie world they created ... I know a little bit about that.

So this follows what happened after Endgame - I'm assuming you know that or at least have read up on it. Or do not care really - but I will go from there and reference what happened at the end of that specific movie. At least in connection with this tv show. As you can see I take no spoilers really to an extreme and I care about people not getting more information than they bargained for ... talking about getting more than one is bargained for: That is true for the Falcon (not Black Falcon, racial issues will play a role here and I salute Marvel for tackling issues head on and with such grace, style and competence) ... who got the Shield from Captain America, but for some reason does not seem to want to keep it ... we will learn why ... and it is not something to be taken lightly either.

It is also something that he can't just blur out when he sees Bucky ... who is quite mad that the Falcon seems to go against the will of the ... now Ex-Cap. So while the Falcon retires the Shield, the question is if the Shield is ready to retire? Or rather the goverment - are they ready? And this is the first of 6 episodes. A great mini series that will bring a few characters besides the two in the title.

And the cool thing is they get mostly introduced at the end of each episode (true for Episodes 1-3 ... I guess you could say there is a character reveal at the end of episode 4). There are so many goodies in this show ... and some during the credits. Which as with Wandavision only get into play for Episodes 5 and 6. But in contrast to Wandavision the final episode only has one mid credit scene. But one that lays seeds for future storylines ... not a suprising one, but still a goodie too.

It's not easy to stay ahead of people spoiling things, but you can do it. Just try to watch the shows and movies as they come along. Good action, good acting and some surprise fan favorite moments (dancing? Ok, why not) ...",9

"Let's get one thing out of the way: The cinematography of this movie is incredible. The way the camera moves through the world makes this a ton of fun to watch. 10/10 on that front. But the acting and dialogue is average and unnotable. The moments clearly meant to be emotional barely affected me, despite that I was very engaged in the action. Look, it's not that I expect award-winning dialogue from such long shots, but if the cinematography of this movie was just average, this movie would be a 5/10 to me.",7
Can't explain what an awesome season they had produced. Bullseye a worthy villain. Most of all wilson fisk brought the season back to life. This is how u make a season.......,9
Well done...nice graphics & scifi specs. The sci-fi adventure of the year. It was very exciting & entertaining to watch.......watch the 1st & seconds season. The whole family can enjoyed it. This show crossed national borders & thinking. It is well produced. One of the best sci-fi show of the year.,9
"Without Johnny Depp, this basically animatronic mess would have been ignored by anyone with half a brain. But the general reactions to it underscore one aspect in particular: popular films, whether truly good or truly bad, have lately demonstrated that a large component of the viewing audience haven't a clue about what constitutes good cinematic art.

While many of us of a certain age look at movies as an extension of dramatic art moving forward in time from Aristophanes to Arthur Miller, just as many if not more of us seem to evaluate them based primarily on the sort of criteria usually reserved for rating computer games and cartoons. Literature and history be damned; if it ain't got visual sparks, it ain't no good.

I did manage to stay awake through this one, wondering from time to time what the hell I was doing it for. Depp provided the sole depth, an ironic gem in the midst of a sea of motile muck.",2
"Let me first say that Batman has long been one of my favorite of the comic heroes. Let me also say that Tim Burton is the most worthless director with a morbid sense of reality and fantasy. With that being said the first Batman, though it had its weak points, was pretty good coming from a director I absolutely can't stand. The saving point of the first film was the casting of Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson. These two actors made the film hands down. From the second film on, the Batman creations up to this point have been absolutely lousy with no possibility for redemption.

Now, I have read many of the posted reviews for this film and I am shocked that so many thought so highly of it. I hear many speak of how disappointing theater films have been over the recent years, yet move to speak with top marks about this production. I suppose that when you are starved long enough, even moldy bread tastes good. This is unfortunate, because though it was a fair film, it wasn't great.

In my opinion the film took too long developing the Batman character. Over half of the film was spent doing this. Then once we finally get to see Batman in costume and in action, the shots are so quick and dark, that you really don't see Batman at all. Instead you just see a flurry of people getting jerked, pushed and thrown about in a quick frenzied sequence. Further, I was to the understanding that this film would be directed more for adults versus children. If that is true, then why was it necessary to add Kung Fu/Karate/Samurai training school theatrics to the film? I believe this was the true cheese of the film, and it was taken much too far. As well, the plot and story were only fair. Folks, as a kid and up through my teen years I have read many comics. The stories in those comics were much more creative and imaginative than what I found to be illustrated here. I would like to further state that the casting for characters could have been better than it was. Without spoiling other opinions, I will just say that some of the cast was really good, and some were really bad. As for Liam Neeson, well I felt like I was watching Obi Wan again, only a little darker.

It is my personal note to say that I am saddened by the lack of creativity in Hollywood these days. In all genres, I find myself disappointed on every level with the productions over the recent years. I continue to wonder when a production will be released that will actually captivate me, and keep me begging for more. I just haven't seen it recently. Further, originality has left the building and it doesn't look like it's coming back any time soon. I say this for all films of recent and this film was no exception. At best, I rate ""Batman Begins"" with a 5/10. For all those who believe ""Batman Begins"" to be a blockbuster, well I'm just curious as to what mentality is responsible for such high opinions.",5

"8.5/10 While i'm not so sure at first, the movie kept getting even more fun, entertaining, and definitely better, also surprisingly deal with a legit serious stuff, Barbie is a weirdly fun movie that fills with this very interesting concept, definitely the first time that's ever done, Greta Gerwig has created this whole new style of filmmaking specifically for Barbie, from the intentionally weird yet creative editing, some awkward and cringe scene, i found the comedy so funny instead of cringe, Barbie is one of the most original movie of the year and also one of the most original movie i've seen in a while, we all know Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling is gonna carry the movie and they are, but Will Ferrell, Simu Liu, and the whole rest of the cast were also great and entertaining, the soundtrack was just great, except Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice ""Barbie World"" song that are just absolutely terrible, but Billie Eilish ""What Was I Made For?"" tune that kept haunting in the background until it finally get the perfect scene to played it was really the best thing because that song was just beautiful and emotional, anyway, Barbie is a lot of fun, while there is still some noticeable flawed, most of them i found it funny, entertaining, colourful, creative, and fun, pure fun, it's something that i probably will love it even more the second time i see it, but as of right now, Barbie was a good time, definitely recommended and with this movie somehow it's actually possible to have a live-action Barbie movie, all you need to have is a good writer, good director, and good cast, and they delivers mostly.",8

"I loved this..It's one of the most binge worthy series on net flix. Only fly in the ointment was mary j blige who just distracted me when she was on screen. She was paint by numbers acting and deeply wooden, which detracted from the awesomeness that was going on around her. It's great to see a original anti hero series as quite frankly I'm sick of super heroes. I don't want to say much as I don't want to give anything away but it's original, has some remarkable actors and characters, brilliant sound track and beautiful special effects.",8
"I was expecting way more from the movie based on the ratings (9/10 or 90% on most rating sites) at the time.

Saving Private Ryan, Fury and Hacksaw Ridge did not even get ratings this high. Maybe I expected something else, but this was a rather inaccurate war drama.",3
"I watch it only for Geralt and Jaskier. Because they know books and they care.

Showrunners should be eaten by velociraptors or be turned to dust. Last season of GOT is briliant compared to this.

And The show? There is no logical sense. Characters terrible. Complete chaos.",1

"This had potential with good animation and great fights but it stops there. The story seemed to jump around and you don't know why things are happening and they don't explain them, got confusing at times and was very frustrating because they don't explain very much.",2
I thought this was suppose to be a great movie? I am not about to sit around for longer than 45 minutes jumping from scene to scene trying to decipher what the hell the movie is about - when a movie should be telling me the story. This was awful. How is the world does this movie have a high rating? Who is rating this film. We turned this movie OFF after 45 Minutes for a reason - it was that bad. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR YOUR TIME! If people on these websites don't start voting realistically the movie industry will think this is what you like to see - and will keep making these crap movies. Just because a high profile actor is in the film does not warrant it to be spectacular. This is the second crap film from Leo in a row.,1
"Talk to Me was a good scary movie. I enjoyed it because I love scary movies. The movie was creative and kept me on edge. It is set apart from some of these so-called scary movies that have been out lately that was not that good. Talk to me was unique and not predictable. So, the writer of this movie did a good job and I look forward to another of their movies they will put out and hope it is a scary one also. If they decide to make a Talk to Me 2 then they need to make sure it is better than the first. A movie is good if it gets your attention within the first 15 minutes. This is all I have to say for now.",8

"""My name is Solomon Northrup. I'm a free man."" Solomon Northrup (Ejiofor) is a free man living in the north in the year 1841. One night he meets two men who offer to take him out for a drink and talk about business. When he wakes up the next morning he finds himself chained to the floor. Before he realizes what is happening to him he is shipped to the south and sold into slavery. When his new owner Edwin Epps (Fassbender) starts to break him down Solomon does everything he can to stay strong and fight for his survival and hope for freedom again. I'll start by saying before I watched this movie all I heard was that it should win Best Picture at the Oscars. So I was looking forward to watching this even though I expected it to be brutal and hard to watch in some parts. About halfway through I was left wondering what all the hype was about. The movie, to me at least, seemed very slow and boring. To me this a perfect example of a movie that makes you feel guilty for not liking it. The movie deals with a very important and serious part of history but the movie was really nothing more then look how bad slavery was, over and over. On one hand watching what Solomon goes through is gut wrenching and knowing its a true story makes it that much more powerful. On the other hand when the movie is over and you find out about the rest of his life I couldn't help but thinking if they would have done those events it would have been a better movie. This is not a terrible movie but I thought it was very overrated. Overall, one of the most important movies of the year in terms of subject, but that is different from being the Best Picture of the year. I give it a B.",6
"Life is like an LUDO, must watch will enjoy the movie.",8
"Don't get caught up with all the negative reviews here. These people just like to get on a soapbox and critique a great product to feel good about themselves. They must surely be writers/producers/actors/scientists themselves since they have soooo much to say...oh wait, they're not, they just like being unhappy.

Anyway, the show is fun with plenty of action from start to finish. It's not supposed to be the old show or the movie, so you can't compare them. What it has done is take the Robinsons and their story and updated everything for the new audience and it certainly delivers. It's exciting, bingeable, leaves you with cliffhangers, gets your emotions into high gear, and all the characters grow on you. And the important part definitely leaves you wanting more. Do some characters make decisions you scream a them not to make and then they do it anyway? Yes, welcome to the land of television and flawed, human characters. Don't get your panties in a bunch and just sit back and enjoy it.",8

"I'm torn on how to rate this. The acting was good, the cinematography was pretty amazing, and I was captivated by the plot, but I just really didn't like the story.

Most of the characters seem like terrible people. At first they were fine, dude was taking a job. All good, he helped his sister get a job by lying. Eh, fine whatever. Then getting other people fired to take their jobs... and then it all ends in murder? I'm not confused by the plot, but rather confused about why people love this so much. Granted, it's probably just not my thing. I tend to not like movies where most of the characters are terrible people and there's basically no redeeming qualities. Classics that people love, ""Gone with The Wind"" and ""Grease"", are two movies I hate. This movie did nothing for me, other than leaving me confused on it's point. If you loved it, that's fine. I'm not trying to hate on this movie, or people who like it, I just don't get the hype.

After watching a video explaining the themes a bit more, I decided to add two more stars to my rating. I understand the themes and why they are important, but this movie isn't for me.",4

"The second film in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy is considered by many to be the best superhero film in history. But does he really deserve this job? In my opinion he is not the best in history, considering that we have The Dark Knight and Spiderverse in competition, but he is one of the best in history. Everything the film teaches and explores involving identity and love is something perfect. The script and direction are the greatest allies of the film. On the other hand, the script also ends up hurting since several things don't make that much sense in the story. So it's fair to say it's the best superhero movie, even if I disagree with that.",9
"The only reason people should watch this film is for a lesson in everything NOT to do if you want to be a US Soldier. This movie only further widens the divide between civilian and veteran, because this is not the kind of film anyone should glorify as a primer on the rigors of war or the minds of those that serve. There are key things you need to understand:

1. Renner's character is a horrible soldier. Everything he does constantly endangers the lives of those around him just so he can show off. If you want to be self-destructive in wartime, fine, but if you endanger your boys in the process you are the worst kind of soldier. Nobody would ever want to work with him, and he probably would have been busted down to a private and put in a supporting position far away from any live explosives.

2. Every intense scenario in this film is made perilous for no reason. There would be a circle of machine guns around suspected IEDs to prevent exactly the kind of stupidity that takes place in this film. The dangers are only featured in the film because the writers had no idea how to create realistic tension.

3. Nobody, and I mean nobody, ever kicks, pulls, or drags suspected IEDs because you have no idea what kind of triggers might have been put on them, or how many there might be. You wouldn't waste your time and life needlessly disarming a random carbomb in an abandoned courtyard either. Just blow it up. Seriously, it's already in a self-contained area that wont endanger people.

If you've never served, those may seem like small issues, but those three grossly erroneous flaws make up the entire movie. Whoever wrote this created a fantasy, not a realistic depiction of how EOD operate or war actually worked in the middle east.

I don't fault the actors, they did good with the scripts they were given and probably had no idea how dumb the writing was, but vets hate this movie.",3
"This movie make unnecessary fun of one religion, just because people are tolerant. They can't dare to use single name from another religion. Set agenda to defame people of one religion.

"No story, confusing events, just running to one event to another, everything just happen dont know why. It should end in 30 minutes. I usually dont care about the magic logic.

CGI is overuse, i cant see clearly what is happening in the midst of magic effect. The characters, i dont care anyone, the dead one, the enemy, the friends. Only question and anger left in myself after exit from cinema.",4
"If this show would have gone the same route as the original, people would have given it crap because there was nothing original. And since it has not gone that way, people give it crap because it strayed from the original. A no win scenario. If you haven't watched the 60's original or have forgotten, let me refresh your memory. The first several episodes were not what you would call comical. Dr Smith was an evil, ruthless man with the intent on destroying the Robinsons and Jupiter II. As the show went from black and white to color, so did the tone of the show, characters, and over all scope of the show to what we all loved. Shows evolve, actors get ""in the groove"" of their parts and it all begins to flesh out as time goes. Give it a chance. Its not that bad. Yes lots of PC crap because if they don't go that way, the media will attack non stop and hurt the ratings. I don't like the pc stuff but that's the day we live in. You must have the right amount of races playing characters, you must have gay content, the list goes on. I'm on episode 4 and I think it already deserves another season. Much much worse TV being produced than this. So, enjoy",9
"Transformers were bad, but enjoyable for what they were. I even hughely enjoyed The Island and Armageddon. Those movies had their flaws but also some consistency. 6 Underground however is a meager attempt to rip off all sorts of action genres in one movie. But it didn't capture a single effective element.

What's left is a hash of incoherent dialogues, half finished fight scenes, incomprehensible car chases and a non existing plot carried by the least motivated actors I've seen in a while. The only enjoyable part is that the movie doesn't shy away from showing creative death scenes.

But even for fans of action, Michael Bay and Ryan Reynolds, this movie will remain an incomprehensible mess.",4
If you have brains this will hurt you. I barely manage to watch first episode and it was full pain from start to end. There is so so many things what does not add up. If you have even slight knowledge of physics this just hurt. Good scifi bends limits of physic but does not break all day ordinary things. Each problem and solution is based to brainless things what just does not work that way and even children know that. Acting is not very good neither but well that is tolerable.,1
"With the high reviews and large box office showing for the movie Gravity, I was really looking forward to it. I have always garnered an interest in space and this unknown frontier is a brave new world. I did see the movie in 2D, not 3D, but I believe that a good story is a good story no matter what format it is presented. It s about when the space shuttle is hit with space trash, debris and then thing run amuck. The two surviving astronauts Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) and Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) struggle to make it to an old abandoned Russian space station. With lots of heavy breathing and intense accompanied music, these scenes of a close death are built up. Sandra Bullock looks amazing and she plays her usual nervous, unsure character. Lacking where her usual snort laugh and giggle. I would recommend Gravity as a rental, and if you must see it, then check it out on 3D where objects will float all around you.

"I'm embarrassed to admit this but I have seen Game of Thrones more than 200 times and love it except for the last season, so I was so excited to watch House of the DRAGON because it would not take much to make this a sensational show.

THEY FAILED MISERABLY!

GOT was so good because the character development was fantastic and viewers were in love with some characters while we despised others.. and some we were undecided about from the first episode.. The acting and cast were second to none except for a few actors who aren't that great but viewers didn't notice sub par acting because the supporting cast carried everyone..because they are so darn good.

House of the Dragon has shockingly bad actors especially Millie Alcock and it was obvious because the rest of the cast wasn't much better and they had a terrible script that didn't help.

It's really bad when every single character could be killed off and I would have been happy because maybe they might introduce someone interesting.. and not the boring mob we had to endure watching.

The storyline is ridiculous and doesn't exploit GOT's popularity by focusing on the dragons.. I would have loved to see how the original Targaryens raised and trained dragons because Danaerys didn't have a clue.. There were so many mistakes and things that didn't make sense and the storyline was all over the place.. and we didn't even see any crazy Targaryens often mentioned in GOT.. because of the in breeding.. I would have loved to see things like babies being tested to see if they are fireproof because not all Targaryens are fire proof.

The story could have been sensational but it certainly was not.. So no character development, a shockingly bad storyline and sub par acting .. Well done ruining what could have been a fantastic show. As for the good reviews they are clearly posted by people with beer goggles on who are either very young or people so excited they didn't even watch the show properly..",1
"The show seems to try really hard to be thought provoking and unpredictable but the end result is exactly the opposite. Most episodes make their point within the first 10-15min and then they beat it into absurdity which makes the show a chore to watch.

I don't understand what the hype is around this show, it's nothing revolutionary and most of the time it just comes across as pretentious, go watch the Outer Limits, it's much better written and the ending is almost always a surprise.",3

Watched all episodes waiting for smth and instead got a full disappointment. I expected show to be funny, cool, ironic filled with different mischief scenes and tricks. Nothing!

"This show should've ended with 2 seasons. I'm trying to watch S4 E1, and I don't remember a thing about any major plot. All I remember is that I was losing my interest in S3. The show is not good enough for me to go back and watch it again. After the 2+ year intermission, the kids have grown up too much. They are now creepy and awkward. I cannot think of them as the same characters and therefore it fails in making me like them. It's a problem of any show with children stretching over too many years. So far, it seems to try too hard to blind the viewers with the 80's fashion and music.",2

"Rian Johnson, what happened? He's really a great director, but this film struggles in its (truly exaggerated) lenght. It takes place on a greek island with a group of friends that reunite after so many years, but all of them are not ""angels"" to say the least. The basic plot is truly simple until the end of the first half of the film, but Johnson tried to demonstrate once more that he is capable of exaggerating in his movies and tries to redefine the story in an unusual way, with the biggest plot twist that is confusing and anti-climatic. Whatsoever, this movie is entertaining and really delivers the job, but i surely think that is a step back from the first movie of this newly born franchise.",6
"This has to be for me one of the biggest load of monkey crap i have ever seen.i was bored throughout the whole movie.The best part was when the credits rolled.I enjoy movies like time cop and total recall etc,but i really couldn't enjoy this no matter how much i tried to.I don't know how this got an 8/10 rating to be honest.If you are bored and have nothing else to do,you will just be even more bored watching this.I enjoyed Leonardo DiCaprio in movies like Titanic,Catch me if you can,The Beach etc.But this is one of his worst for me personally.I have now wasted two and half hours of my life, which i will never get back.Watching this movie makes me think comeback Steven Seagal all is forgiven.I think i need to lie down after having watched this awful film.I love films and have watched a lot over the years.And sometimes if i like them i will watch them again,This i definitely wont be watching again.I don't drink,but this movie would drive you to it.",1
The first few episodes were interesting. They were giving you the premise to keep watching. Then the series forgot where it was going and decided we needed a social commentary more than a good show.,2
"I have sat through below average movies several times because I have always believed in something 'keep your expectations low and you are in for a positive surprise'. However, I have been reading the pre release media coverage on this one and had it on in my watch list. I had expectations on this set already and usually it contrives the other way round, but this one proved me wrong. I still get to gain, since this is something which I rate as a rare cinematic experience as far as bollywood goes. I believe its a very brave effort to even think about a plot and to give it the look it has. With more of fantasy driven plots doing the rounds at bollywood box office, movies which venture in to unexplored territories always score better with me. Not just that, this one has quite a few reasons. Cinematography - It takes you to the retro era of the 70's. The color combinations of black and blood red, with the tall fonts for cast and the posters is very pleasing and reminiscing of the era of not so technical but still gruesomely intense thrillers of the 70's. Its a real tribute to that era.

Music - The title track is one of the best and looks like to be a big hit already. The blend of the old and the contemporary techno music is very refreshing.

Plot - The unpredictability is something which has not been seen in a while considering that you know the culprit through out. It makes you see the movie through the eyes of the characters. Its like a anti-climax repeated several times. It keeps your brain cells on the toes and you better not sit back and relax if you don't want to appear dumb after wards.

The performances have been superb and still it manages to have its own humorous moments as well. It reminds me of 'Sholay' since there are so many scenes which appear so discretely superb but blend in perfectly.

Highly recommended to the metro-plex audiences.",9

"You got a movie starring a badass killer alien, a clowny serial killer and his GF, a newborn sadistic even more badass alien... and you managed to make it boring? This is not one of those ""It could have been great if the director had tried"", this one was BEGGING to be epic. The previous film was praised for the chemistry Venom and Eddie had, and the funny sequences in which they had to live together were great. But this film turned that to 11 and straight up tried to be a sitcom for like the first hour of the movie. Then there is Carnage... could you imagine Carnage being like a sadistic baby? Calling Kassidy an his GF (who BTW had so little to do that I literally forgot his name) daddy and mommy? Could you imagine him toying with humans, or having daddy issues with Venom? Could you imagine him being funny or... interesting or... something? There was, SO many things one could have done with Carnage, but instead thy chose to do nothing. He has no personality, no motives, no nothing. It is just a Red symbiont, and it is defeated exactly as all the symbionts are. Hell, Riot had more character that him, and his personality was just being an Alpha. But worst of all, I think, was Eddie's character. He went from a down on his luck, renegade reporter, to a winning and complaining little annoyance. Narrative speaking, the fact that he is always stopping Venom from eating bad guys makes sense. After all, IRL eating humans is gross. But cinematically speaking, this makes Eddie antagonistic to the audience, since the only reason we are in the cinema is to watch Venom do cool stuff. Kassidy's half-baked, archetypical serial killer backstory was the most entertaining part of the movie, and that is saying something. Simply speaking, nothing happens in this movie. Venom and Eddie fight a little at the beginning, the Kassidy does a Bowser on Eddie, they fight, and that's it. Seriously disappointing...",5
"My teenager and I tried to watch this. We kept waiting for it to turn into the amazing show everyone was talking about but mid-way through episode 4 we gave up.

The dialogue was inauthentic and weird; the acting was sub-par; and the directing was off. For example, one of the characters slaps a piece of paper down on the table in front of another character and then a beat later dramatically stands up and... just stands there. It was laughably bad.

We read the synopses of the other episodes and the entire thing was completely contrived. If the point was some sort of PSA, they missed the mark on that, too, as nowhere during the regular episodes is there any mention of a suicide hot-line or how one could get help fighting bullying; in fact, the message delivered was adults won't help you so don't even bother trying.

So bad and for the life of me I can't understand how it's getting such rave reviews. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯",1
"1. Keely Hawes was absolutely mesmerizing. I don't means Julia Montague's political agenda, but Keely's performance was outstanding. 2. Richard Madden, King of the North was good not great. May be the character written for him was responsible. But I had trouble believing the PTSD and his reactions to varied circumstances. 3. The woman terrorist who made the bomb was mute at the beginning but sang like a parrot at the end. It's just too easy and too phony. 4. The detectives investigating the cases were just too gullible and too easy to turn against the PPO. 5. The scene with the bomb vest were just too long and unnecessary, 6. The conclusion is just a cliche and not satisfactory.",8
"Knives Out has found a way to turn many of the genre's tropes on their heads and that very much deserves to be praised. Ana De Armas is touching, vulnerable, truthful, endearing, and outshines pretty much the entirety of the remaining star-studded cast, which is also very impressive. Overall, after a very clunky beginning, we get into the story and it moves pretty smoothly throughout, and the movie keeps its momentum going until at the very least, the end of the second act.

But when we get to the third act, it starts to feel like the need for never ending twists takes over at the cost of logic and realism, which obviously is often the case in these kinds of movies. But, I would argue a truly successful murder mystery should end with the realization that we have been staring at the truth all along and yet couldn't quite see it - and in that respect, I feel like the movie fails. It also fails in portraying characters that feel real for the most part - with the exception of Ana De Armas, everyone feels a little bit like a caricature, best exemplified by the sixteen year old teenage boy who spends his entire time on his phone to promote the alt-right. Many of such cliches are played for humor, but for the most part, the few comedic moments of the film fall flat - in particular, Daniel Craig's sadly clumsily delivered Detective character, meant to be an American Hercule Poirot, but whose quirks are simply forgettable and frankly, unimaginative.

Finally, the story simply does not fully deliver on its themes, its conclusion feels rushed and shallow: good people end up happy, and bad people are punished, no redemption or nuance whatsoever, the story is black and white, and that may have worked during Agatha Christie's time, but I don't think modern audiences will accept it as easily.",5
"The plot features repeated drama of bollywood. One love story, one villain but with a twist at the ending note (different from rhetoric). Bhuvan Bam is an extraordinary actor with superb series like Dhindora. But this one landed just below expectations. Nevertheless the direction is good and ofcourse 10/10 for acting. The picturisation of the pain in lives of the characters is also very close to reality.

Good Things: 1 Wonderful characters 2 superb acting

Not so good things: 1 Predictable plot 2 Less suspense and twists 3 Typical hindi drama style (mostly) 4 series also go slow sometimes.

Finally hats off to Bhuvan bam for working so hard on the project. Eagerly waiting for the next:)",6
"If you are watching this because of Christopher Nolan, You sure will be disappointed. If you don't have any idea of the incident or WWII then this movie is not for you.",1
"A truimph of special effects (Sinise's legs, Gump's appearances in history) and with some wonderful vignettes this is not a ""real movie"" with a ""real plot"".

The film feels like, ""and then I did this"" and ""then I did that"" with no regard to a plot or pacing. Also, the AIDS subplot seemed tacked on and forced.

All and all some great scenes, but not a great movie. But there are worse things out there to watch.....I give it a 7.",7
"Heard good things about this show, gave it a go and I've never been so bored. Not one part makes you get on the edge of your seat!",1
"Due to how the writer chose to end Part One, I was not so interested in seeing Part Two ... I did not return to the theater for the final episode of the Harry Potter series of film. Basically, if the writer would have been writing the story of Bambi, she would have killed off Flower, the skunk ... for which ceased my interest in anything she might do in the future. I sincerely hope that others share my opinion of the way this particular film ended! Basically, it pi$$ed me off big time ... and the DVD's are stored away, never to be watched again! Basically, you don't have a slave set free just to die an unheroic death! You don't kill off this character at all ... it just isn't done! Especially when the character becomes so cherished by one and all, including the audience! To kill off that character is nothing short of being nasty and wicked to the audience! As you can see ... it really played a number on my head, to the point that I would never trust this author again.

Second mistake ... which has to do with the cutting of the film, and not the writer. A scene was removed from the movie that should not have been! At the beginning, when Harry's Uncle, Aunt, and the brat are escaping by moving away ... the kid was suppose to approach Harry and basically make amends for all that he did to Harry ... the scene was cut, and it should not have been! The reason it should not have been is that the scene reinforced the fact that we need not be as our parents are ... we can be better! Cutting that out was a huge mistake! Well, there you have it ... I found this movie to be a huge disappointment.",7
"In the opening seen we see soldiers all gunned down trying to jump a wooden gate, wouldn't they have turned the corner at the building they passed to escape gun fire? Then the 1 guy who gets over the gate leans his back up against it while bullets fly through the wood, wouldn't he jump behind the stone wall holding the gate up?

And when did airplanes start burning more fuel when they went higher? I love some of Mr. Nolan's movies, Inception and Interstellar are fantastic, but maybe it would be better if he stuck to fiction.",1
"What can I say? I have some serious doubts that anyone with a few working brain cells will find much to like about this snooze fest.

You know what you're getting yourself into with a MARVEL movie.

It's guaranteed success on that basis alone even though not one MCU movie to date has actually been, you know, a good film.

Let's put it like this: Even the film's title character points out that it's a stupid idea for a movie.

Suffice to say that, as per usual, the MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE is less than marvellous.

I should have known what to expect really. Even though I wasn't at the cinema by choice but was taken there with friends. We all admitted afterwards that we were bored to sleep by it and probably would have slept if it wasn't so loud.

"Oppression, Slavery and the likes had always carved its niche in Hollywood and it has undoubtedly earned its position so, thanks to wonderful movies like Amistad, Glory, Lincoln and the more recent Django Unchained. Often coming off as powerful dramas, it was never a subject to be taken lightly unless its something from Quentin Tarantino where he injected his own style in Django Unchained. Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave, based on the memoir of the same name, tells the story of Solomon Northup, a respected freeman who gets tricked, drugged and kidnapped into being a slave for 12 years.

Unlike McQueen's previous movies, 12 Years a Slave can be enjoyed by a casual moviegoer. Its a straight to the point drama; something I had not expected from McQueen. I do enjoy his movies, and although not a huge fan, both Hunger and Shame had its own place in my best movies of the year list. Handling racism and other sensitive issues, 12 Years a Slave could have gone too crazy and some sequences had too but it is the hard truth and 12 Years a Slave doesn't shy away from showing you how gruesome and cruel things really were. If you can't tolerate a representation of things that comes close to genuine history then this isn't for you either. Previously in movies we were introduced characters who were born-slaves but here in 12 Years a Slave we get to see a freeman circumstantially becoming a slave and we get to see the contrast clearly. It is shocking at times, a constant air of dread suspended from start to end and yet making you wonder there'd be something pleasant at the end of that dark tunnel.

12 Years a Slave stars a wide array of AAA stars. Chiwetel Ejiofor is inexplicably good as Solomon, his helplessness, his craving to get back to his family, everything had been acted out perfect. Michael Fassbender plays Edwin Epps and this guy is really becoming one of the most dynamic actors of our times. Already a McQueen favorite and having acted in both Hunger and Shame, Fassbender's Epps is one of the most spiteful characters I've seen on screen and to imagine the character was indeed real, just EVIL. Paul Giamatti, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Dano, Sarah Paulson, Brad Pitt also livens up the screen although their screentimes, debatable. I was so impressed with Lupita Nyong'o performance, it almost felt like she wasn't even acting; arguably one of the best debut performances of 2013.

McQueens trademark extended scenes makes a comeback. I was amused to see Michael Fassbender jog for a good 2 minutes in Shame, while at the time it felt both odd and intriguing, it's one of the scenes I remember even now. 12 Years a Slave packs a number of memorable scenes and one among them: an extended sequence of ""the protagonist left hanging on a rope and dearly clinging on for his life"" will be remembered the same way the jogging scene from Shame. Brownie points goes for the cinematography where certain visual cues were left to tell a lot. For most times Hans Zimmer's score does wonders but I felt it a bit misplaced here nonetheless the title theme reminded me of 'Time' from Inception.

12 Years a Slave's inevitable and imminent comparison would be to Django Unchained but believe me when I say both of them are poles apart. Of course the sheer dread of slavery has been portrayed in both but its the scenes in 12 Years a Slave that'll stick with you years from now than Django's. While Django Unchained entertained me, 12 Years a Slave made me uncomfortably shrug in my seat that makes it one of last year's powerful dramas.",8
"There is so much in this that could have been removed to make a really good movie. As it is it's been stretched into a bareable series. Beautiful cinematography and good acting but not groundbreaking, not an amazing script or concept. No idea why it has such high reviews as the script is very weak at best",5
"The boys

Without any doubts this is best superhero TV shows right now. DC and Marvel does not have anything like this. Let's wait what HBO Watchmen will shows us, but for the now - we have a winner. Wildstom ""The Boys"" comic book has seen the world in 2006 and in fall 2012 was ended, with 72 issues total. And thanks God, Amazon has buy right for it screening. Not sure if Netflix would did a better. By compering different shows, as for me, ""The Boys"" very close to Justice League: Injustice. It no not so brutal like it was in DC and doesn't cover questions of what is the cost of justice and power, but the Show has only first season, so I believe if fans like what the saw in July 2019, Amazon will go deeper and will raise shows brutality. Shortly about plot, in the world where superheroes (Supes) are exist, all of them were legalized and all of them are working for Vought International. Transnational company with HQ in US, which: control, assign a missions, build a marketing strategy, commercialized and later known, develop a new Supes, around the world. Most popular heroes and those who bring more money to company are members of The Seven. Old materials Supes, who does not bring money are sent to 2nd leagues of losers. With great power comes a great responsibility but when your heroes are TV superstars with huge salaries and their actions could not be judged by any country and government, they turned into bunch of self-lovers jerks and jack asses. The first thing which you see it's how superhero team, almost recreate in some ways Justice League. Homelander - copy of Superman. Well, more cocky, narcissistic, with pseudo patriotism ideals. Leader of the team. The most powerful of all team members. Absolutely understructable being. Main antagonist.

Queen Maeve - reference to Wonder Woman. Probably best person who see true Homelander intentions. Previously she was in relations with simple woman, then move to Homelander, now alone. Have a problems with alcohol. From time to time trying to act following her heart and the ideals she was grow on. Almost every time when she's trying act right - encounter a resistance in the Homelander face. The Deep - analogue to Aquaman. And maaaaaaaan, writers together with Chace Crawford did an amazing job. That character has a problems with self confident probably because no one is really takes a seriously a guy, whose only power talk with fish. (Reference to Aquman in Robot Chicken ,maybe?) He has a serious issue with sexual life also. Vought knows that a dude is sexual abuser, but trying to cover this fact(spoil the entire 8 episodes). The Deep needs it's own series, because some of his intension are truly good but his actions are so dumb! A train - link to The Flash. The guy with drug-anabolic addiction. Earlier he was ""The fastest man alive"" and this title belongs only to him, but now world full of speedsters. And in order to protect his reputation, well, yes, he is usually on anabolic. Black Noir - you want to believe it is a copy of Batman, but No, It's analogue to Snake Eyes from G.I. Joe. We don't know a lot about him, only that he: never speak, good at martial arts & knives , parkour, ............aaaaand he is great piano player. If Susan ""Sue"" Storm-Richards aka Invisible Girl from Fantastic 4 was a man, he's nickname would be Translucent. One of the famous Seven team members. TV star. Most of the time use his powers to spy on girls in bathroom. Total jerk. Starlight - she is a newbie in the team. Almost at the first day on work she was abused by one of members. She is a light inside the ""The Seven"" darkness. I think her character has something with Supergirl and Stargirl, because she is also young and sometimes naïve, believe in all good, against all bad etc. One of series protagonists. Of corse there is a Vought International - VC president. But lets leave her story. I don't want to open all cards. Now let's go to our heroes aka simple humans. The Boys are team created by Billy Butcher, CIA agent who hates everything related to Supes. There are also: Hughie Campbell, the guy whose girl was killed by A-Train; Frenchie - specialist in bombs, weaponry and spy tech; Mother's Milk - former CIA agent, probably the voice of logic in the team; Kimiko - girl with inhuman ""abilities"", but lack of communication skills, previously was test pet of Vought. The show full of blood&meat, nudity, dirt language and this is exactly what you need from modern Superhero genre shows. It is not completely ""Deadpool"", but it is more combination between DC ""Doom patrol"" & ""Titans"" + Marvel ""Daredevil"". Entire picture of ""The Boys"" not full of grey paint and pain, even the opposite it is colorful and sunny. But behind bright colors of heroes costumes and perfect Hollywood smiles there is always darkness and dirty world of money, unlimited power and politic manipulations. For Marvel & DC fans this show is MUST WATCH without any doubts, fans of fiction & fantasy would love it too. My respect to Amazon Prime and all crew members who create this show. Overall 8.5\10",9
I am a huge fan of the anti-hero storyline. I thoroughly enjoyed this season. If you're into the superhero genre I suggest you watch this. I love the cast lean in the show. The characters are diverse in terms of personality and are very well developed throughout the story. The main character has an amazingly good character arc. The production value is very good as is most Amazon productions. it is offered in 4K format which is great. The story is great. It is fast paced enough to keep you intrested the whole time.,9
"What happened to a good story and character development? Constant big, small, normal, micro, quantum. Pathetically the whole story relies on impossible size shifting and nonsense neo-science garbage talk to explain it. It even had product placement, and the local cine-plex even subjected me to 15 minutes of planet killing car ads before the main feature. I just feel they missed a trick not advertising industrialized beef patties and rainforest timber wardrobes. I fell asleep in a dystopian nightmare for 15 minutes in the middle.

This garbage would have been satire 30 years ago. This film is in the same vein as Transformers, for children or the incredibly dumb, to make incredibly wealthy people even wealthier. Like pop music, the function of this movie isn't to be good, but make money. If you're over 16 or maybe 15 avoid this drivel.",3
"Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl has been regarded as the best film this summer in the US, and many IMDb users have praised the return of the pirate genre.

With this in mind I went to the cinema and watched this movie, and once again I disagree with the IMDb users and possibly also a lot of critics. The story had a lot of potential with ghost pirates and stuff like that, it is a pirate movie and you can accept things like this, but the movie fails to impress me for several reasons.

First of all the cast was not chosen wisely. Johnny Depp is without doubt a great actor, but he is simply the wrong choice for an old pirate. He does not look old, but according to the story he should have been captain on the same ship where Geoffrey Rush was chief officer. The rest of the cast was chosen more wisely, but I never liked Orlando Bloom's character either.

One thing that really annoyed me was that almost every character should be funny, it was very annoying and at some points unbearable to watch. First we have some stupid English soldiers, later Johnny Depp has to be funny, and we also have to watch some funny ghost pirates all the time. Suddenly all characters have to be funny, and the ghost pirates are just comic sidekicks in this movie, they are not scary at all. The idea to make the English soldiers stupid has also been seen so many times before, and I really dislike it.

If that was all of it, then I maybe would not be that grumpy, but that was not all of it. The whole idea of immortal pirates was actually not good even though I accept stuff like that in this pirate adventure genre. I can ask a simple question, why do people take a fight against these immortal pirates? There is absolutely no point in doing that because the outcome has already been decided. Am I the only one who is asking these simple questions? Hopefully I am not.

After having criticised the movie I also have to point out some of the good sides. The movie is well done in both sound and picture. The effects are good and the ships can fascinate most people.

Anyway, the movie does not deserve a good rating, because the plot is too thin and all scenes have to be fun, which is a disaster in a 143 minute movie. Beautiful scenes and a few laughs however make this an acceptable picture, which should not be treated as an memorable movie of year 2003. - Rating: 6/10.",6
"The characters are constantly out of tune with themselves, the plot is all over the place, the dialogue is extremely unnatural.

The characters constantly contradicts their own personally traits, which makes it very difficult to build any kind of understanding of or empathy for them. Eg. a small boy with no self-esteem and who is hugely dependent on others who suddenly goes exploring on his own with no prior character development. The story goes of in a multitude of directions but not to build a coherent epos, it's only to create an excuse for the characters to get into insurmountable trouble that they wrench out of last minute, often by really dumb actions or incoherent character traits. The worst part, however, is the dialogue. It feels like the characters are speaking at each other instead of to each other - and it's not just lack of acting skills. The writers might have tried to come up with one liners but they really shouldn't!

Even the Oreo product placement is unskillfully done.

How this got a 7,2 rating I have no clue!

I gave it 2 instead of 1 star because it's quite well-produced and beautifully made. Also, the robot is a character that actually holds up.",2
"I love Steve Martin & Martin Short, but I truly don't understand the rave reviews for this show. I could only manage to suffer thru the first episode but that will be all. It was SO BORING, not funny, I could go on! But the biggest problem is the terribly miscast, Selena Gomez. Who is NOT an actress. She literally has one expression and couldn't act her way out of a paper bag. Anyone saying she's ""great"" in this, is a fangurl. Sorry, but that's just the truth. In fact, I don't know what two comic geniuses like Steve Martin & Martin Short were doing getting mixed up with her in the first place. If you want to see them back when they were funny (it's actually depressing to see how old they are now!) and life was a lot better too, watch Father of the Bride. Talk about comedy gold! This show however, is not.",1
"We left in the middle. I personally hate musicals. It look stupid for me to see people singing to each other . Why not talking ? Pure stupidity. Can't understand the high rating for that silly film. I hear it is nominated for some Oscars ???? How come ? Evan for musical lovers, there is nothing special in that movie.",1
"Kung Fu Panda 2 is a bit darker than the first – as most sequels are – but there's nothing here that will damage your kids.

Kung Fu Panda 2, little moments that undermine traditional action-movie tropes to hilarious effect.The film is funny, but never outrageously so, reducing the laughs to find poignancy with Po's parental quest. The movie is a visual feast, accentuated with a crisp, effective deployment of 3D, moving with stunning fluidity and fierceness, packed with extraordinary detail.

The set-pieces in this movie are more exciting than most action movies. True, animation gives you a lot more breathing room when it comes to imaginary battles, but there were fights and clashes in this movie that were just stunning.

Hans Zimmer's score is an energetic.

characterization Gary Oldman as the film's primary antagonist Lord Shen who is an albino Indian Peafowl and Victor Garber as Master Thundering Rhino, a Javan Rhinocerosia are awesome.

The focus on character is so surprisingly sharp that the conflict seamlessly fuses with the rest of the material, becoming accessible to

everyone in the audience.

Overall, the messages are great - be honest, help each other, love your friends and family, be true to yourself, stick together.",7
"Don't let the first half of season one get in your way of watching this show! This show is amazing and deserves a lot more attention. The character building, development, and connections with the audience really make this show an adventure. You won't regret watching it!",10
"Am I the only one not to have been mesmerised by this film? I spent the whole time watching it wondering when something was going to happen! Who is kidding who here? All this talk of 'sublety' etc. just disguises the fact that nothing actually happens! This film is a BIG WASTE OF SPACE. As a travel program on Japan it works well, fair enough. It makes you feel that you've really been there, very well photographed. But... I want a story, some acting, something to happen, some kind of sensation. Not slow, slow, dull, deary, boring nothingness. Excuse me this is just an unbeliebvably hyped up pile of rubbish.",1
"This film was so far up its own arse that I started to smell it. Turns out sometime over the course of its 2h 49m runtime I had just s***myself.. .. It was Valentine 's Day 2016. In a fit of romanticism my girlfriend and I dragged the bedding and mattress into the living room, constructed a pillow fort, ordered a curry from the local Indian restaurant, and began to watch the film. The rest is rather hazy as the movie ground on in self indulgent earnest, fluttering from fairly interesting survival intergalactic space story to existential gravity communication time loop buggery. In what I assume was my bodies attempt to expel the drivel being poured into my sensory sense holes I s**** myself. All in all a good metaphor for Nolans attempt at Spielberg esque grandeur.",4
"First the 3D is not needed. It hasn't been filmed in 3D, was only added at the last minute to increase revenues and therefore only adds a little depth with the usual sparks flying around.

I loved the 1st one and loved The Avengers but this one is even more disappointing than the 2nd one.

What I like in Iron Man is the logic. I understand this is science fiction but Iron Man, unlike other super hero, does not have super power but simply great technology. It's nearly believable (well if one day we can find such an energy source power). In this one, it's just going a little bit haywire.

And yes, I'm talking about the script.

Some of the bad guys have specific powers that are hardly explained mainly because they don't make much sense. You will have a lot of ""hey, if they can do that now, why didn't they do it before hand"" or the ""Surely that makes no sense that ""character blablabla"" can do that/have access to that when earlier it was impossible"". And that really irritated me. I know ""it's just a science fiction movie"" but for me some rules are set and need to be followed otherwise you can have a dragon spitting fire from his behind coming up at any point in the movie. Poor script.

The good points: some good fights with explosions, visually impressive, good CGI and yes, the cocky Tony Stark lines are excellent (which without his acting skills, this movie wouldn't reach the rating I gave it).",4
"What a great story and characters development. Best TV series. At first I thought that was just a child hood cartoon but this series is mind blowing the way aang became the avatar and his friends help is ow some.

Now I just wanted a live action avatar the last air binder TV series or film trilogy because if this happened, it can earned billion of dollars to the franchise 😍",10
"I enjoyed watching this series. I liked how the feeling of challenge was transposed in chess tournaments. The filming was good in quality in my opinion. What I didn't like so much was that I could often predict if Beth would win a certain chess match or not. This took a little bit of tension for me. Anya Taylor Joy made hot appearance to me in some scenes. I liked it. The final match against ""Borgov"" was quite a pleasure for me to watch. The ending scene touched me. I give that series a good, but not a perfect rating, so 8/10. Thank you for reading my review.",8
"Teenage foster child Billy Batson (Asher Angel) dreams of being reunited with his mother; being a superhero couldn't be further from his mind. But that's what he becomes when an ancient wizard (Djimon Hounsou) chooses him to be his successor, endowing him with super strength, lightning fingers, invulnerability, and the power of flight. Unfortunately, Billy's new ability to turn into a muscle-bound hero (played by Zachary Levi) whenever he says 'Shazam!' coincides with the appearance of a supervillain, Dr. Sivana (Mark Strong), who was rejected by the wizard as a child, and who has spent the rest of his life looking for a way to seize the powers he was deemed unworthy of.

Shazam! is DC's attempt at a lighter, more humorous approach to the whole superhero schtick, something I wholeheartedly approve of, not being a big fan of the grim and gritty Batman/Superman films of recent years - but it isn't wholly successful. Billy discovering precisely what he is capable of in his hero state is reasonably fun, his amazing antics documented by his disabled foster brother Freddy (Jack Dylan Grazer), but when Dr. Sivana enters the picture, the film becomes little more than a mundane superhero flick, full of CGI-driven smackdowns, but little in the way of originality. At well over two hours long, it soon starts to feel more like a chore than a pleasure, especially with much of the intended comedy falling very flat.

As with the majority of superhero films, Shazam! is cleaning up at the box office despite its faults; I just hope they try a little harder with the script and the action for the inevitable sequel (which looks set to feature a talking caterpillar called Mega Mind).

5.5/10, rounded up to 6 for IMDb.",6
I'm so happy with the casting that I can look past some other issues. It wasn't as nostalgic as I would have wanted it to be but this is definitely a new generations barbie movie. It really checked all the boxes with me. Fun costumes and great performances. It was fantasy and also very real. I can't think of anyone that could ever be better as Barbie than Margot Robbie. This was the perfects storm and it was a long time coming. Greta Gerwig's directing was fun and the script was inspiring. This movie won't be for everyone for sure but as a long time barbie fan I'm pleased. They left the movie in the perfect place and I don't need more. One and done and I'm ok with it.,7
"Just a really good old-fashioned murder mystery with original storytelling. Love the quirky, hilarious characters that make up the tenants of the Arconia building/suspect roster each season. Not to mention the amazing, stellar stars of the show that bring so much charm, and so many laughs. I should point out that writing reviews is not something I do. In fact, I think this is my very first one in the 20+ years I've been coming to IMDb. But I just love this show so much, and sadly Hulu doesn't do enough to spread the word, I just HAD to leave a review. Who knows though... maybe I'll start learning more reviews of shows/movies.",10
Disrespectful movie. A huge let down for harry potter fans.,1
"Season 1, awesome. Season 2, not bad. Season 3, complete garbage.

Just like many others here, I have to agree that Season 3 was a complete disappointing mess. Henry Cavill is awesome but he gets lost in terrible writing as opposed to earlier seasons when he was part of a captivating story.

There's no doubt he read season 3 and thought, ah geez, I guess I have to stick this out because of my contract but then I am so outta here. There's also no doubt that the writers and production will leave this off their resumes.

Such a pity as I looked forward to binge watching this season but now I won't even bother with part 2.",1
"There have been big Scorsese productions that I wasn't particularly fond of, like Gangs of New York and The Age of Innocence, but this is a first: a Scorsese picture I actually disliked. Nothing can change the fact that Martin Scorsese is one of the great American film auteurs. His body of work is virtually unparalleled. But this picture is a big misstep for the great director. It is a failed satire, if indeed it was meant to be a satire. It's overlong, overwrought, and ultimately boring. He means to show us something about wretched excess, I suppose, but he fails to create a single character about whom we might give a damn, except for the antagonist, and in the end all you can do is yawn and be happy it's over.",3
"So many scenes felt deliberately emotional. None of the actors' performance felt natural except may be, just may be, Woody harrelson. Okay, we get it. She lost her child.

Oh... And those one-liners of that cop. Ughhhh. So forced and pretentious.",2
"Steins;Gate is deceptive, takes times to take off, took about 7 episodes to become interesting and only became mind-boggling from episode 13 onwards, after that it was one intense episode after another. The storytelling, characters, plot, suspense, and humor are all great.

The way it covers time travel paradox and it's after effects are one of the best showcased, be it in anime or beyond. The characters are all unique, wild and memorable, they fit in perfectly with the storytelling.

The animation and sound itself are good, not great but better than decent. I actually enjoyed the opening soundtrack and did hear it over then skipping them.

It is a very entertaining anime covering a complex subject yet ending without loose ends, a must watch.",9
"Wow, I watched it and this just blows. Anime for unintelligent people. No suspense, no way to find out what logic is in the show, no relatable character. Just bad. All because he is too strong. 'Haha, that's funny!' The drawing is good, cool and is funny, but has no substance, no interesting story. If this guy wants to find himself again, STOP FOCUSSING ON THE FIGHTING! Do something with your life you freakin arrogant, boring, lazy, overpowered hero. All the power to do good in the world and he cant think of anything to do except wait for unimaginitive monsters to come along. The two things people watch this for is the humour(1), which is very simple. It's just this: wow I did not see the reasoning behind this! Or: wow, this reaction is not to be expected in this situation! Come on people we can do better that this. (2)The action. The action is great, really cool indeed. But the thing is that action gets very, very old very fast when you cannot feel anything for the character, relate or just see that there is a possibility that he will not win. It's just mindless action/humour watching. Entertaining: yes. For more than 10 minutes: NOOOOO!!!",1
"How the hell can this movie be rated 7.9 out of 10? Judging by the poor quality of movies originating from Hollywood I guess the critics have only a very poor benchmark. Another money maker for overestimated 3d effect. Lets get real here, Ironman 1 was good, solid plot and great gadget exposure, OK its fiction but we could still handle it. Now we have Cheadle one shot expert firing and breaking a rope from a great distance. jumping around from location to location without any solid explanation as to what should have happened in between.

Anyways the film, though quite long, has all the elements that engross you in the story till the very end. Farhan Akhtar has seeped in his character very convincingly. Shankar Ehsaan Loy have created complimenting music to the story and the background score is very striking in the partition scenes and Milkha growing up scene. Director Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra has delivered another heart-touching film after Rang De Basanti. Last but not the least I must mention the cinematographer Binod Pradhan for those absolutely delighting slow motion shots. I'll go with 4/5 and I insist you watch this movie.",9

"As a huge Nolan fan, I was stoked to see this the first time in theaters. From the very beginning, this film is a confused and jumbled mess. Even with a miniscule synopsis on screen at the start, I had no clue what was happening, who these men were or where they were trying to go. There was also no particular character development. Tom Hardy was completely underutilized in the film. I just tried watching it again on television. However, nothing had changed. Nolan has so many great movies, so just skip this one.",3
"I had high hopes for this one but the only thing i really loved in the movie was the awesome....SOUNDTRACK.

Unfortunately this had flaws in many parts of the plot and showed us things which were unrealistic in many ways and kinda boring.

The movie had it's moments and if u are a sci-fi film fan then u can check it out but it's nothing special.

2001 was much better poetry movie than this.

The characters were predictable and the reasons why the professor did what he did were unrealistic and unreasonable.

I will not spoil the movie but u have to wait for 3 hours before u get out of the theater.

the movie is too long.

Get the O.S.T And that's all u need to remember from that movie.",5
"The script is as simple as it can be, predictable storyline and climax. Although the cinematography was above average with very nice National Geographic worthy landscapes, the movie fails to deliver emotion. I felt it was more a children film and less for adults.",5
"Season 1 was the best. Season 2 was a little behind it. Season 3 had it's moments but for the most part was obnoxious to go through. Season 4 was like they mixed a bunch of hot garbage in a blender. They literally could have taken about 2-3 episodes and just added them on to Season 3, made that the last one and literally nobody would have known the difference.",5
"Having watched Parineeta twice in a gap of 4 days since it's release, I have to say, this movie after a long time has done India Cinema proud. The film managed to keep my attention the same as watching it for the first time that says a lot about the film.

The cinematography is extremely good, tight and i must say not a frame of film wasted. Each scene is art directed very well and the lighting is perfect.

One can clearly see that the research done on this film is very good. The wardrobes of all actors have been well designed including the kind of jewelry the women wore. Great detailing. Just one flaw I have to mention is the choice of sunglasses Saif wears. A little too modern.

The male ego and attitude will not come as a surprise to most Indian men but the character and pride of an Indian woman is showcased very well and aptly. I only wish more writers and directors adapt this image of the Indian women instead of taking her into extremes all the time.

The music, absolutely outstanding. Shantanu Moitra has done an excellent job with the score and you will definitely want the soundtrack in your collection.

It's not easy to make a period film. Kudos to the cast, crew, production and anyone involved in the making of this film. They should all be extremely pleased.

A must watch.",10
"Tom Hardy's worst film after.... Venom 1. Why did you agree to this?! Film had the Sony and Dark Phoenix vibe where everything was bad from start to finish. Man what a waste of ""Carnage""",4
"The series suffers from lack of any sense of purpose. Many sub plots and some monster hunts inserted without any meaning for the overall story. The plot goes haywire and fails to build a cohesive storyline. Apart from the lead character of Witcher and probably 1 or 2 more, none of the other characters have shown properly. The show terribly fails to build any connect with most of its characters. Last, but not the least, there is no proper villain here. Even after watching one whole season only God knows what the hell 'Nilfgaard' wanted or what was the purpose of a teenage princesses power ?",1
Venom is a very bad movie. To all the people saying ignore the critics I say to them get a better taste in film.,3
"Quentin Tarrantino is in general better known for the amount of violence in his films than any merits they have, and after seeing ""Pulp Fiction,"" I can see why. The film had an extreme amount of violence, yes, but it had few merits. The stories were none too original or exciting and the final attempt to connect them was completely unsuccessful and really brought to the fore what a disconnected, nonsensical mess the entire film is.

The characters are flat and dull, the dialogue is made up of about six total words, five of which cannot be used on network television, the stories aren't exciting, and those stories have an attempted connection that doesn't really connect them. Tarrantino seems to have been playing around with time and non-linear narrative, but the film barely, if at all, made any sense. There seems to be no reason for anything that happens and the unusual narrative, rather than drawing the viewer in, is beyond Tarrantino's (the writer) abilities. Further, Tarrantino draws no interesting characters--even with two skilled and charismatic leads in Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta. The most interesting character is definitely that of Butch the boxer, and even he is little-defined.

The performances of all involved were fine, since the characters required so little, highlighted by Bruce Willis (oddly enough) and Samuel L. Jackson and lowlighted by the ever-horrible Patricia Arquette, who can do more to ruin an easy character than any actor I have ever seen this side of Kevin Costner and Patricia Clarkson. The parade of stars seemed to be Tarrantino's attempt to distract from the film, but it wasn't successful, since most of the actors were people who have horrible taste in general (Mr. Travolta, that's your call) and this was like a concatenation of all their wrongdoings.

Meanwhile, Tarrantino the director does not distinguish himself in one way or another. It's a fairly standard-looking film that doesn't jump out of the mainstream at all, which was actually rather effective since the violence then seemed much more commonplace, but I don't know that it was Tarrantino's intention. I think if he intended that sort of theme, he would have used a more close up-laden style, so I doubt that he intended to be dull.

The film's few redeeming moments were packed near the end, with a hilarious scene of Bruce Willis choosing a weapon with which to kill some tormentors and a look on his face at the end of said scene that is absolutely priceless leading the pack, but a few other good comic moments come near the end and perhaps make up somewhat for the mess that came before them.

Overall, I consider ""Pulp Fiction"" a terrible mess of a script with no characterization, bad dialogue, a wildly disconnected story, and no reasons for anything that was directed decently if not well and enacted as well as possible considering its horrendous flaws. The film is most certainly not the masterpiece it is made out to be; it is more the accident it least wants to be. I would suggest it if you don't mind violence and want a good nap, but that's it.",2

"I am a big GoT fan and naturally looked very forward to this spin-off. Sadly, after five episodes in I had to call it quits. The characters are tediously shallow and there is just nothing compelling about them to make me care about the trials and tribulations in their lives. As a woman I found myself especially turned off by the whiny female characters. A good portion of their dialog and situations are devoted to vilifying pregnancy and motherhood, so much so it makes me wonder did the writers completely forget the maternal instinct shown from female characters in GoT? Daenerys Targaryen grieved for her lost child. Gilly loved her baby boy. Talisa was looking forward to giving birth. And there were no woeful anti-pregnancy lectures from either Catelyn Stark or Cersei Lannister. Then there is the problem with the graphic visuals in House of the Dragon. Aside from the initial first scene in episode1, the special effects veer swiftly off into the bad. The CGI dragon flying scenes lack quality and the integration with the actors is wonky. The last and probably most disappointing issue is the overall feel of the show. I was expecting high adventure, intriguing drama and richly imaginative sword and sorcery elements, but instead HOTD plays out like a cheesy soap opera. With all the flaws I feel the hours given in hopes of being entertained by House of the Dragon turned out to be nothing but a disappointing waste of my time.",1
"6/10

Similar to the first installment with familiar character relationships,dialogue and humour. Only with the addition of Cletus Cassady and his backstory.

The Eddie Brock and Venom relationship still make the movie interesting. However, it should be Venom and his adversaries that steal the show.

The camera work for the fights were too close. I found it too much to follow & just ended up waiting for something that I could recognise as a cool move to happen.

The dialogue & characters were the stars here.",6
"An interesting premise, but way too drawn out in some episodes. The theory starts out very promising, but then it's such a grand idea at eventually such a small and absurd scale that it's preposterous. Should have been a 4-episode miniseries in the way Brit shows are and this could have still had a relaxed, pensive pace. It's insightful and well produced, just way too too to sloooooooow, which makes it hard not to be distracted in every other scene.",6
"Disney is now taking control.

addition of a female specifically referred to as ""powerful"" - check!


addition of incompetent, bumbling male idiot - check!


addition of a fighting female that humiliates bumbling male idiot - check!




Disney's influence is starting to be seen clearly and immediately, however it is in its early stages, so it is soft and the creativity the authors of the original material had is still there.

The interesting thing is there is a scene that touches on an unfortunately very unpopular idea in modern America - the idea of private property and self-ownership independent from government. I believe this is the first and last time we witness such a scene in a Marvel movie, since Disney becomes more and more involved in the process.

Overall an entertaining, honest and focused (except the several Disney things mentioned in the beginning) movie, which is way better than any of the MCU content from the last about 2 years.

Checkout my review with the same title of Iron Man for reference of why I wrote the previous sentence.",7
"Overrated movie, there have been so many great war films which are there to be seen. This movie is all about propaganda, nothing else.",1

"Okay this was a selective adaptation of Upton Sinclar book ""Oil"". It had some of the same characters...but did not capture the malicious identity of the early 1900s oil men. Is it entertaining...not really. Did i say wow acting job of a lifetime...not really. Would I watch it again...not really. I thought the movie would be more about the way Oil mongers affected the communities they invaded...but saw almost nothing.

Daniel Day Lewis was mean and engulfed his character...but Best actor winner...I think not. I think they are trying to pay him for the job he did in ""Gangs of New York"" Wow he was great in that.

I did enjoy the almost black and white filming of this movie but found it lacking in substance. Ohh and a little beef here...how did this movie win best cinematography while ""I am legend"" and ""300"" did not even get nominated.",4
So... We have five hours of story and ten hours to fill. How do we that? Let's talk rrrreeeeaaaallll sssslllloooowwww and do nothing in half of the scenes.,6
"As my go-to cinema ritual, I don't watch movie trailers or spoilers at all. My only expectations are based on the poster of this movie. Then, I know this must be something different. And I am rite! From the beginning to the ending, this movie satisfyingly seems very classy & artsy with everything on it. Greater satisfaction comes when the other huge cast slowly but surely appears.

The main plot is a trio of veterans of World War I as the poster displayed, they met and become friends from the war until post-war but then they were forced to live separately. Long story short, destiny gave them an opportunity to meet again when everything collided.

Classy and artistic are well-delivered throughout the entire movie with songs, stylish outfits, detailed-oriented movie set, and the script. Ofc, this happens coz this is a vintage movie ambiance. The jokes are also classy one coz tend to be cynical, lol. Besides, huge actors are worth to paid coz they really delivered incredible acting performances.

A huge cast from the leading male role such as Christian Bale to the unimportant role such as Taylor Swift is presented in this movie. Maybe she was cast to remind us about her upcoming album this month, lol. Overall, almost every cast famously known in the Hollywood industry is present in this movie. This is one of the biggest satisfactions! This must be an expensive budget movie!

Sadly things, there is a couple of parts that are boring. Also, the jokes sometimes failed to kill the time. Both didn't really vividly can be felt, but it doesn't matter coz thanks to the great artistic and cast performance. Besides, perhaps, some great actors aren't well-directed or performed coz they seem meaningless. It's normal but it seems sad coz they are big budget cast!

Overall, this movie really great! Don't miss it! It really gave something different which is a classy and artsy movie for this year. Rare gem. Vintage.

8/10.",8
"If you are a person who enjoys philosophy, psychology and such. The finer, the greater things in life, than. This show is best avoided.

If you decide to watch it, you'll have to sit and endure by all the half chewed, outdated, pathological forms of nonsense that are used the time instead of doing something with the ""real"" plot. It is a magnificent test of a ones own strength of character. The camera/vfx/editing crew is the only thing that keeps this show together. I feel for them.

This elaborated in my own form of caveman language would be:

Oo, we money, bring camera crew, they good, people like them, make them shoot: man baad, man miserable, man weak, man oppress women, cop weak, man drunk, man problem..... and now important part we go, women good, women strong, women smart, women hero, women initiative, women independent, ooo yes, women yell to men, yes, no time for real plot, real plot not important, we has do this formula with all characters, shot this my caveman friend, it is what our caveman fans signed up for.

Just stay with it and you won't regret it. You just need to cope up with first 2 episodes. And this is seriously brilliant work out there.,9
"This film had too much hype before playing in the theaters for what I seen, if you had to compare war films from the past for example; Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers film series, even The film ""fury"", blows ""Dunkirk"" out of the water literally and figuratively. How can you have 400,000 soldiers on the beach, and not have them do nothing but dodge incoming bombs, and then just stand there and do nothing while staring up in the sky for the next bomb to drop, plus the film had no film shots of the enemy ""Germany"" but of a couple of scenes of the enemy air planes being shot down, also in the film were a submarine ""U-70"" from the enemy torpedoing rescue ship escaping Dunkirk, the submarine was never seen in the in the film but you do see a silhouetting torpedo under water from an aerial view heading towards England naval rescue ships. too many mistakes were made by the director and production here . No war scenes really? 400,000 troops on the beach and no action and where were the french army? 2 stars at best",4
"First off a disclaimer, if you have not seen the first Fantastic Beasts film or any Harry Potter film then I do not advise you seeing this.

Where Fantastic Beasts lacks is in story, and by story I mean mostly side plots stuffed with references that eventually come together. The problem with telling a story like this is that it feels very unfocused and more like a set up to a sequel (which we all know there is going to be) rather than giving us a satisfying chapter that ties into something bigger.

On the positive side. Newt. The lovably awkward Newt and his fantastic beasts are the most intriguing things about this franchise. Along with his mindset of resolving situations without violence is fresh for a protagonist, however I would've liked to see him getting more development and building stronger bonds throughout this film.

Visually though the film is stunning, there's always something interesting to look at, especially as we are exploring the grander world of magic.

Overall I think if you're big on the Harry Potter franchise and Fantastic Beasts this film will hold some entertainment value for you. But if you're not already sold on the franchise this wont be the one do to it.",5
"OG marvel comics fans kind of understandably will hate this show if the episodes continue like this.

I however liked the idea of Captain Carter. I'm also glad that they rushed/ skipped through the stuff that was kind of the same as in MCU CA:TFA.

The animation is good and the voice acting is spot on. Too bad the lines are cheesy af, but then again, so they were in the original movie.

Beyond that, the story was way to similar to the original. I hope the other episodes will be different.",9
"It never occurred to me that I would like something that has something to do with chess on my screen so much - my own endeavors to play that game, let's be tender here, were of a rather failing nature. Anyway, the role of Beth Harman is made for Anya Taylor-Joy and her acting is one of the strongest features of the show, but the rest is also top - a captivating and unique story, a fine production beaming us back right to the 50s and 60s, a great supporting cast. No doubt, The Queen's Gambit maybe will not work for everyone, but in that constant flood of mediocre and bad show and movies, The Queen's Gambit shines bright like the Morning Star. Well, last but not least, I put the novel written by Walter Tevis on my to read list.",8
I was forced to write an interview by my family that this movie made 11. The ending with the wedding scenes made that number. It was a 10 up until then. See part 1 first and then part 2 and you will be blown away.,10
"Young Billy Batson (Asher Angel ) is given a magic word ""Shazam"" that turns him into a super-human adult (Zachary Levi ), but while he's learning to master his new found super-abilities, the seven deadly sins incarnate (Mark Strong ) is hunting for him. The film starts interestingly enough, focussing on the villain's back story but then takes it's time getting to the 'Shazam' moment. Initially, there are a few fun moments as the now supercharged teenager and his foster-brother Freddy (Jack Dylan Grazer) figure the caped-marvel's powers but then the story goes nowhere until the obligatory super-villain shows up. After a few generic CGI-fights, the scene is set for the climatic 'twist' (broadly hinted at earlier in the film). Even by superhero standards, the original Captain Marvel (see for example the 1941 serial 'Adventures of Captain Marvel') pubescent-adult transition was a strange premise, but the current film doesn't really do much with the concept beyond play it for laughs. There is a noticeable disconnect between Billy's personality as young, brooding Billy and as goofily-heroic Captain Marvel (in all but name) that really undercuts the premise (the Captain seems much more of an all-powerful version of Freddy). There is a go-nowhere backstory about Billy's mother (perhaps setting up something in the inevitable sequel) and the foster family (made up of a group of 2-D stereotypes) is pretty cloying. Despite some moderately grim imagery at the start and the relatively brutal massacre in the boardroom, the film is light-weight, colourful kid's wish-fulfilment fantasy (resembling a live-action anime film (I was reminded of the pre-to-post pubescent 'Sailor Moon' characters) more than a D.C. Universe super-opus). Although decades past the target audience, I generally like these kinds of films but this one had little to offer beyond silly (and repetitive) yuks for younger viewers.",5
"I have mixed feelings about this movie. The first half is so bad that it is very hard to reach the second half, and the second half is actually good and it is worth to endure the first half.

The script is absolute s*hit and character development is just does not exist. But fast forward the first 50 minutes and it is ok.",6
Movie is very nice. Some of the scenes they have exaggerated. Still it's a nice one,10
"Inception is one of those movies that have a complex plot story which requires you to focus on every little detail that happens on the screen otherwise you'll be stuck there scratching your head as you rewind back to the scenes that you supposedly missed.

Because of how it deals with the interesting idea of lucid dreaming (if you don't know what that it, I suggest you check this website out: http://www.world-of-lucid- dreaming.com/what-is-lucid-dreaming.html) and how Christopher Nolan has captured the moment of the screen with his amazing cinematography and on par film score, I'll award this movie a 7/10 despite the clustered and confusing action sequences.",7
"Apart from the main story with the robot, all the rest is a crew trying to deal with problem after problem as consequence of poor irrational choices and pseudo-scientifical reasoning. Graphically very pleasing but cannot make up for the lack of interesting plot and extreme predictibility. New characters come in and out at disposal of the storyline making the viewer confused about the real meaning of the appearance of a new character and sadly enough the villain is the only one making smart choices that the viewer would agree with. A waste of money and time",3
"There are some spoilers here.

I get it. Many parts of the book, like the beginning when he finds the first key would be really hard to make into a movie. I understand that. But then again, maybe this should never have been made into a movie? Here we end up with a movie that has some of the names in common with the book, but that is it. For those who has not read it, this might be good, but for those of us who expected it to be based on the book it is a disappointment.

For fans of the story: There is almost nothing from the book here. Lower your expectations, and you may not end up as disappointed as me.",4
"The story is set in advanced technology. Its is composed of 22 episodes and 5 seasons released exclusively on netflix. It is directed by Charly Brooker in England. Its episodes composed of horror, thriller, drama, science fiction. The episodes are linked by the common theme of implementing dystopian technology. It talks about the consequences that new technology could have, and how these affect human nature.

This serie has grasped me because it is original. It makes you think a lot about the consequences of technology in our society, many episodes are even weird and uneasy. I really liked and I can't, wait for a new season coming soon.",9
"The overarching plot for the second season is extremely contrived complete with deux ex events and pointless dead end plot branches. Though it started off very exciting, it flapped around and floundered under what can only be described as lazy writing habits. The way it was packaged to build for the suspense, I felt sure that it was going to deliver. It didn't. The ""Plot"" seemed like it was written by 7th graders on the fly. Unfortunately, the use of gimmicks and suspense has been a trick used by poor and lazy writers for years now...especially on Netflix. It's all hat and no cattle. I've watched all of season 2 except for the last episode in memory of the entertaining first season. 'Disappointing' is an understatement. I'm not giving it a low ranking because I'm sure the writers can do better for season 3...they better.",7
"This film is definitely in my top 5 films of the 90's. It's the first Coen brothers movie I've seen so far, and it sure won't be the last. Comedy, weirdness, suspense, and so much more is mixed in to a hilarious, uneasy, and sometimes an edge-of-your-seat movie. Whatever you do, don't watch it on TV, where so much is edited out. 9 out of 10.",10
"This movie is, as every one of the actual musicians here has noted, completely devoid of the reality, and, more importantly, of the JOY, of being a musician. The teacher's ludicrous verbal abuse, which fluctuates between politically incorrect and downright cruel, is so unrealistic and anachronistic in a portrayal of 21st-century educational life that I found it unwatchable. Simmons' character slaps a student repeatedly across the face, with no one gasping or saying a word about it, which had me rolling my eyes, it was like they were saying 1950s movie dialogue about how ""dames"" are dumb and can't drive, or something. I was offended, but I also kind of felt sorry for all involved, it was so... dumb.

Beyond insulting my sensibilities as a human, it also insulted me as a musician, an artist. No credible teacher of art or music would think such negative extremes produce genius or even fine musicians. Discipline is crucial to becoming great, but so is flow, listening, and the creativity the truly exceptional experience when ""in the zone"" playing music with other people. This film gives zero sense of why anyone would actually want to become ""Charlie Parker"", I mean, does that mean famous? Parker was an innovator, a physicist of sound, not just some automaton who could play a million notes as fast as possible. It's like this movie was made by people who absolutely don't get why Coltrane makes you feel like you're inside the moon and why a Duke Ellington tune can float you away on the river of your own blood flowing in your veins. Miles Davis was famous for being able to encourage his bands to elevate their playing, I heard Herbie Hancock say that one time when he was blocked on a part Davis just listened and calmly said, ""put a B in the bass"". And everything flowed. No screaming, throwing, åsshølery, but something more masterful: a finely-tuned artist committed to creating greatness, communicating via his mastery of the mysterious, infinite language of music and a deep respect for the people helping him create it.

A wasted opportunity to speak to the madness of wanting to be great, to achieve, and also a waste of the dynamic and always fun to watch J.K. Simmons, Watch him in his series Counterpart instead, in a part that displays all his swagger but also the sweetness and humour he mixes in so well.",2
"Roughly divided in three parts and taking place not too far away in the future, the story follows the adventures of Cooper, NASA ex- astronaut turned farmer. Cooper lives in Dusty Somewhere, USA, with his two children (Murph and Tom) and dad in law. Mankind destroyed Earth ecosystems and our heroes are facing dire consequences.

Cooper finds ""by chance"" the secret location of the new NASA and he is immediately assigned the very important mission to retrace a bunch of astronauts sent into a wormhole 10 years previously to check some promising planets in another part of the galaxy. End of part one.

Part two is about the search. Featuring great images of space travel we follow Cooper and his crew of three down the wormhole. Two crew members are of the disposable type, the other is Amelia, who is in love with one of the astronauts dispatched 10 years previously. As to be expected, the exploration of new planets turns out as risky business.

Part three is about Cooper falling into a black hole and finding the fifth dimension, which conveniently allows him to tie a lot of loose knots. Some sort of happy ending ensues, but not the heart-warming type.

Much as I like Nolan's films, I found Interstellar the weakest of his production. There are some major plot holes in the script, such as why new NASA does not just call Cooper to guide the new mission instead of waiting for him to ""accidentally"" stumble upon the super- secret location.

And do you really need to retrieve data from a computer to find out that an icy, rocky planet perhaps is not inducive to growing crops?

The whole first part of the movie feels like wasted time, except for establishing the strong bond between Cooper and Murph. Then we get some cringe-inducing dialog about love, gravity and relativity and constant harping on about the fact that children are our future. I guess this was a personal theme for new dad Nolan, but it boils down to showing what a bright child Murph is, while Tom – also part of humankind future – is nothing more than annoying.

Finally, we are shown three new planets, all menacing and uninviting as possible ""home"" for mankind and simultaneously we see how low people can get just to save their skin. Not the most promising scenario for any planet facing abuse and misuse thanks to humankind massive migration.",5
"It was nostalgic, hilarious, esthetically orgasmic and very moving. It covered all generations of Barbie, which was my hands down favorite toy as a kid. It also touched on the female experience in a really welcoming, wonderful way. I felt it included aspects of the male experience that are important as well. Awesome soundtrack, AMAZING SETS, and wardrobes. The cast was amazing, the writing was perfect, such an original, unique stroy line. If you're going to criticize this movie for going ""against your political beliefs"" then you don't deserve this movie anyways. Women are allowed to talk about the female experience and Barbie was a great way to do it! I just saw it 2 days ago and I really want to see it again!!",10
"I think the first four episodes of this show are some outstanding television. Packed full of intrigue, intensity, great score, and some truly amazing scenes. Then for some reason the show slams on the breaks for an episode entirely made of completely unnecessary flashbacks that don't contribute to the story in any meaningful way. The last three episodes are then a huge slog toward the end, with really only one scene I can think of that shocked or entertained me in any real way. By the final episode the dialogue is so painfully dumb, and the main character seems to have completely forgotten how to act? I originally thought this show was overlooked because the title kinda sounds like nothing, but after watching it I think it should probably stay overlooked.",6
"Being a huge fan of the book, you may be disappointed.Other than the overall concept, the movie does everything it can to not follow the book, it may as well be called an entirely different title. It completely rips the book apart and partially sewing it back together here and there. So, if you are like me and was very excited to see how great the book could be as a movie- expect to get your hopes destroyed. I could not enjoy it as i felt let down and it really did not need changing and the movie lost it's way.

My husband who has not read the book, enjoyed the film. He loved the gaming references and the graphics. I agree these were good.

For me, i felt it lacked substance and yes there were some great gaming references but it did not live and breath the 80's like it should have and the plot i think was a little tame, childish and rushed.

I wanted to like this so much so i would say do no read the book if you want to enjoy the movie.",2
"Yelena was right, she really likes to make that pose.

Now to finish the Iron Man movies. This one was just as fun as the third one. What improved was the action. This one had a lot more iron suits fighting. Iron Man transforming was so slick. Also, the villain was better. Mickey Rourke was awesome as the angry physicist. Give him his bird damnit.

I think Tony Stark's personality was a bit irritating this movie. I didn't like his transition as much as in the first movie. Still, RDJ retained the great charisma from the previous movie.

Overall, still a solid MCU and Iron Man movie that I enjoyed for the most part. 8/10.",8
"I cannot understand that this series has been voted so high. If I could vote with 0, I would. You should be warned that it contains awful scenes that a lot of people would not like to see or even think about. This should also be written in the episode description. Not that you don't know what to expect and waste your time on episodes that you absolutely don't want to see. Trying so badly to film something different has (in my opinion) crossed all the lines. I have watched only the 1st episode and this was also the last. I cannot even find words to describe how disturbing it was. I've lost 45 minutes of my time to watch this....",1
"The first Kung Fu Panda made audiences go blind from over-exposure to pure awesomeness (and attractiveness) so this sequel was always destined to fall short of the massive benchmark set, the question was just by how much. Well, thankfully, not by much at all. With Po (voiced by Jack Black) now the Dragon Warrior and having to save the art of kung fu from the wretched Lord Shen (Gary Oldman – excellently sinister), the uber-impressive martial arts sequences are back in full force. Throw in consistent gags, iridescent animation as good as any Pixar outing (aided by the subtle 3D) and superb voice work by all involved – including Dustin Hoffmann as the wise Shifu, Angelina Jolie as the fierce Tigress, Seth Rogen as the cheeky Mantis and, in a stroke of casting genius, Jean-Claude Van Damme as the chop socky expert Master Croc – and you have a highly worthy successor that will please boys and girls of all ages. Bring on KFP3! Skadoosh.",9
"One of my favourite super hero movies.

A great sequel experience as we get to see a character grapple with their own reluctance to be a superhero as it compromises their life on all levels. To deal with supervillians is one thing, but to feel one's own powers betray you because you no longer see yourself the right away is quite another.

You have to meet them half way with its blockbuster style sentimentality but don't we all go to blockbusters for just that?

Poignant, funny, very actiony and resolves its internal and external conflicts with such finesse.",9
"Predictable, simplistic (""the bad and the good"") overuses magic, NOTHING like GOT (although the last season of GOT was crap). Sad state of affairs. Cavil is good, too good for this.",2
"A pretty average movie, was going to give it a 5 but then the ending was really quite special, you might even shed a tear.

Worth seeing for that, brought it up to a solid 6.",6
"I went into the movie expecting an eery feeling and some good thrills and it delivered just that. Yes ok.. it doesn't have a great story or main characters that make very convincing choices.. but come on! That's not what I neccesarily need in the horror genre. If it would have that as well you'd get the 8's en 9's that the originals deserved. This is just scary stuff and it's good at it. So darken the room, turn up the volume, stop thinking and enjoy. Certainly improved my rainy sunday.",7
"Great show! Thought provoking, intelligent, also stupid, fun, funny, all of the emotions! But wow... which donkey came up with the idea of a dance off with super humans? Dancing........... seriously? How stupid do you think the world is? Oh wait, sorr.y.. i forgot its actually this stupid..... But why feed it? Seriously... a dance off between humans with super powers....?

The first thing i would do if i had a super power would be to eradicate all the idiots that dance and listen to top 40s ""music"".

I once considered you intelligent. Now I just see you as another sellout. Good thing china pays good money for unintelligent content ! Uugh....

artists, please stand up! >.<",7
"This film is a classic example of an ignorant public being drawn to a bad film because of all the hype the studio put out saying what a great film it would be.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire are fine actors and demonstrate their fine acting ability here. But the plot of this film is shallow and pointless. It's the screen writers, Baz Luhrmann & Craig Pearce, that failed in this film. The film has no excitement, nothing that the plot leads toward for the viewer to look forward to. I have not read the book, so I have no idea how the film follows the book. But it makes no difference, because this film has no entertainment value.

Yet, the public has bought into the studio hype that this is a great film and is giving it high ratings. It's amazing how a robotic, shallow public will be so easily entertained with such a mundane story. The studio really can make a film appear great to a shallow minded public, if they put enough money into the advertising, as they have for this film.",2
"I like movies like this where it doesn't really matter if the lead is male or female, and this was almost that, it could easily have had been a male character learning chess and working their way up. It was so close...

However like all movies and miniseries these days that could not be the case, it's again a case of the time travelling women, projecting modern day attitudes into historical figures. They even altered the story from the book to fit in with the agenda.

I look forward to the day when the world again becomes balanced and people are equal.",8
"This show was a complete bore to watch. I had to force myself to watch an episode each night with my spouse and neither of us were impressed with the story, characters, and overall depth of the series. I can appreciate dramatic shows as much as the next person, but the writing done on this show was so poor I could hardly suspend my disbelief for five minutes as the show revealed plothole after plothole. As if that weren't enough, it was also riddled with a criminal amount of terrible high school drama tropes. I like tropes when they're done well, but these were lazily-written and unoriginal.

The only redeeming factor of the show is Ortega's portrayal of Wednesday, even as I grew to loathe her character. She does do a very good doom and gloom goth, and has some good one-liners. Sadly, they're just one-liners, as Wednesday doesn't have interactions with other characters so much as she has stand-offs where she always gets the last word. Nobody seems to know how to respond to Wednesday, ever, which makes for terrible dialogue between the characters on the show.

Speaking of the other characters-the only lead with any chemistry whatsoever with Wednesday was Enid, her roommate who inexplicably puts up with a barrage of hurtful remarks in exchange for an almost-smile or two from Wednesday. Still, they had more going for them than whatever the hell Wednesday/Tyler and Wednesday/Xavier had going on. For the first three episodes, I genuinely couldn't tell the two guys apart. I thought they were the same character. They might as well be for all the depth they have. Both of their performances were terrible (Tyler in particular looked like he was constantly grimacing), but I can hardly cast too much blame on them when they obviously had very little to go on with their characters. Both are so ridiculously generic.

By the end of the show, I hated Wednesday's character. She's obsessive, petulant, unnecessarily rude, self-absorbed, needlessly dramatic, manipulative, and utterly toxic to everyone she comes across. There is literally nothing to like about this character by the time the show is finished.",3
"I don't know what target group this series have. I don't know why it got a second season. And I don't know why I even finished the first one.

The series is just boring and depressing.",3
"I'm not a big fan of the MCU films, but on this weekend, I chose to watch it instead of The Angry Birds Movie (which is getting ugly reviews). But anyways, I thought it was great, much better than any other MCU film I've seen. Here's why.

I found the story in this movie solid. It was entertaining, it mostly made sense, and it was funny. In it, the world considers Super Heroes dangerous, so Iron Man wants limit to their actions, and Captain America doesn't, which causes conflict between the two. But in the process, a threat rises. I find it also deep, and well craft. Age of Ultron's story on the other hand, was simple compared to this, and not solid. But one flaw I find is there are a couple of plot holes. But I won't tell them, because it might be a spoiler.

The characters in the movie are more dynamic than they are in other MCU films. There is clearly some struggle in them, and with good reason. Also, the special effects in this movie are amazing, and very realistic and believable, despite the CGI.

So overall, I recommend this movie to anyone over 10, even non-Marvel fans. It is amazing, and I consider it better than Star Wars: The Force Awakens.",9
I Just found it complete logic less drama... with no sense .... Giving 4 stars just for the performances but i seriously dont find it entertaining ... plot was good but its so much stretched. Some things should be straight forward but they twisted it and made it complex...,4
"The movie was good. It wasn't bad, and it wasn't great, but it was good. The editing was abrasive and slightly obnoxious in many occasions but the action and character interaction amongst the main actors was fun. The story could have been fleshed out and delivered a bit better to make us care a little more about the plot. I always enjoy getting situated in my seat in anticipation to watch another Michael Bay film, and that takes coming in with the right expectations. The same goes for a David Fincher film.",7
"Concept is similar to a movie named ""the happening (2008)"". But this one is more reasonable than that. Hope for part 2.",7
"The actors really can't sing, except for Rebecka (the Swedish actor). The story is thin and cheesy. And all the ""freaks"" do is a group dance. Not a good movie at all.",4
"Inventive story, fair enough, great metaphors, obviously, but unfortunately, terrible acting. ""Mrs Park"" perhaps an exception, to the all round, wooden dourness of the performances. Was looking forward to seeing this, especially as it had been likened to ""Society"" the veritable 80's cult classic masterpiece, but I was left feeling well, pretty underwhelmed really, but hey, ho you can't have everything. However, maybe it'll grow on me over time!",5
"I really wanted to like this movie, I really did. I'm a huge science fiction fan, and if Nolan had kept the ""realism"" and tone that the first hour or so promised, I would've been more than happy with this film.

Nolan's imagination is impressive, an expansive force that drives many of his movies. However, it is also his downfall in ""Interstellar,"" a film in which he doesn't have the satisfying answers to reconcile the realistic fiction he wants to portray. The plot is littered with points that exist because, well...science. For instance, the characters refer frequently to an equation Michael Cain's character is investigating to solve a ""gravity"" problem. But not much explanation is put for into how this would solve anything about bringing a colony of people into space.

Finally, this opinion will probably cause many people to ignore me: I feel Nolan is still a very good filmmaker, but this movie glimpses him falling into the same ""black hole"" (see what I did there?) which ensnared M. Night Shyamalan. Because ""Inception"" and his Dark Knight trilogy were such a massive, profound success, he feels the need to make every ounce of dialogue ooze from the actors' mouths as if it's the most important, mind-altering thing you've ever heard. The movie becomes bogged down with long, dragging sequences of people staring as if in wonder, coming to realizations that are meant to inspire awe in us. However, these do little more than bloat an already over-long running time that felt like 7 years, but amounted to one Earth hour. The end serves up a slew of maddeningly predictable ""twists"" that were pretty obvious an hour before the big reveal.

I will say the acting is done incredibly well by the cast, even if their script is not always on par with their talents. As always, Nolan is exceptional with visuals, and most of the tremendously dramatic middle portion was effective, albeit borderline overdone with sap. I could've managed without as many repetitions of Dylan Thomas' ""Do not go gentle into that good night."" A beautiful poem that is awkwardly spouted throughout the film. A couple times was effective, five times was pretentious.

This will not deter me from seeing future Nolan feature presentations, however, it in no way deserves the IMDb ""9"" rating that it has simply because it is Nolan. I can see why people would be impressed enough by the visuals to forgo the convoluted, flawed story, but not enough to land the film in any top 250. If this exact film were released under any other filmmaker's name (besides perhaps Spielberg or the like), I can guarantee you it would be far less lauded by audiences.",7
Too good.. Karthi's best ever.. Perfect placement of characters.. Amazing script and excellent BGM.. Can't ask for more!,8
"Some shallow and sometimes lazy writing aside, there's some good stuff in this reboot. For one, I see people complaining about and hating Dr. Smith. I do too. Man oh man, I seldom get so repulsed by someone in TV or cinema. While the character might not be amazingly written as the antagonist, Parker Posey plays her so well. The very first scene she's in just made me go ""oh no"", expecting to write the show off immediately, but she was quickly introduced as Dr. Smith which made me go ""oh yes"". I literally hate Smith, which is awesome because Posey is amazing and I've loved her in other stuff such as Mascots and For Your Consideration. Worth watching just to get grossed out by Posey's ability to make you hate her character. Well done!",6
"I've seen this movie more than twice but I felt like I needed to in order to prove that I wasn't just in a horrible mood the second time I watched it. So I did see it a 3rd and even a 4th. Same opinion, but more solidified.

Let me back up. I saw this movie, opening night, out at the IMAX near Dulles Airport, and I was absolutely BLOWN away. The effects! Heath Ledger's psychotic Joker! The IMAX! WOW!! I walked out saying ""that was freaking awesome!! I can't wait to come back and finish it!!"" Yes, you read correctly. Finish it. This girl I took, decided to tell me in line that she doesn't like ""Dark"" movies and asked if it was ""Dark"". She walked out mortified 30 min into the movie.

I went back, same theater, a couple days later, as about as excited (even more so now) as a movie fan could ever be, and I watched intently. The longer the movie went on, the more frustrated I became. I didn't want to be disappointed but how could I?? It is just simply a bad movie! This is one of the greatest examples of Hollywood putting a TON of money into a film (Actors, Special Effects, Marketing, etc.), without ever making sure the whole thing made sense! How does a director as experienced as Nolan, not shake his head and go ""wait guys, hold up, we can't have Batman jump out of a 4 story window and land on the concrete without opening his cape or firing off one of his 'wonderful little toys', or something. I mean c'mon do we think these movie go'ers are dumb?!"". I dunno Chris do you? Few things that really got to me. Firstly, Maggie Gyllenhaal, is a great actress, and this is no shot at her or her ability, but she was horrifically casted in this movie. I feel like her current up and coming status in Hollywood is what landed her this role, not if she was the right fit for the part. And by the way, where is Katie Holmes? Did you think we weren't going to notice? I mean, this isn't a minor, couple line role here. Nor do Maggie and Katie look at all alike really. I mean this is about as noticeable as Ashton Kutcher replacing Charlie Sheen on 2 1/2 Men! No attempt at saying it's her sister, or cousin, or maybe just write her out of the script? ""Oh, so sad Master Bruce what happened to young Rachel Dawes in that trip to Breckenridge last spring. Just awful. I'm so sorry."" BOOM. Done. No mystery. Let's move on with the story! It was hard to look beyond really, and just shows what lack of thought went into the whole movie in my opinion. Either negotiate KH's contract or don't include her character. No thought is for the viewer, just ""Ohhhhh theyy won't even notice"". BAD.

Secondly, Heath Ledger. The man did an awesome job and deserved that Oscar, here or hereafter. He brought an element to that role that didn't exist with Jack, and Jack was phenomenal. He made the character sadistic almost. Like grown men were afraid of him like Javier Bardom in No Country For Old Men. Just a frightening S.O.B. Jack was a bad dude and you knew he was bad but he was also a little humorous, and you kinda liked him. You didn't like Heath's Joker. You were mesmerized but couldn't love him. He did this all while having a bad script, no character development, and, what seemed like, 45 min in the middle of the movie where he's MIA. Also, he's got the most ""makes no sense what so ever"" scenes, where he's doing things that if you stopped for 2 seconds to be like ""where'd he get that?!"" or ""how'd he do that?!"" or ""wait, where'd he come from?!"", your frustration factor would have been increased ten fold. But, you didn't, and why? Because he performed above it, and as much to his credit for that, is to the discredit of the makers, for short siding him on an amazing final performance. Imagine how much better it could have been if he actually had something to work with! Lastly, yet.......I saved this one for last because it is by far the most irritating aspect of any movie I've maybe ever seen.....Christian Bale's voice when dressed as Batman. He clearly liked it so much that he carried it over into Terminator Salvation (which was appalling too). But what in the heck? He was taking multiple breaths in the same sentence because of how much effort he was putting into that low growl of a voice/accent/whatever. ""I........ONNNNLLLYYYY HAVVVEEE.........ONNNNEEE RUUULLLLEEE"". So dumb. Which is why his line's were all 3 words long.

Overall, extremely disappointing and I point out my two experiences for a reason. All that was wanted from the movie go'er here was to be mesmerized by the costumes, effects, and their excitement for its release (relentless marketing), would blind them from the slop job they paid to see. And what's so frustrating is that the slop job was done before anyone ever showed up on set, before ""Action"" was ever yelled, before one growl of Bale's voice was ever moaned. It was lost in the planning, the writing, the brainstorming, the overall thought process behind a story. There was none, and thank god for Heath Ledger because without him, this movie wouldn't have been so blinding.

Not excited for the next one. Gotta say. But Nolan did do Inception, which is one of the best movies of all time, so maybe I'll give him another shot.",3
"This is what makes us fall in love with the mcu , the creativity is unfathomable . Gave Wanda a 9 because It brought creativity , humour and an amazing story on the table, with all that managing to give us the perfect antagonist in this case . Unarguably one of the best miniseries I've ever watched.",9
"I have now seen the first season and two episodes of the second season, and I'm impressed with this show. Making a TV-series based on Hannibal Lecter feels like a challenge. The character is so closely associated with Anthony Hopkins, and in my opinions, the quality of the franchise has suffered since Silence of the Lambs (in my opinion). I have read a few of the books and I was generally unimpressed. This show on the other hand manages to make something more out of it.

What I like most about this show is how the story progresses with each episode, many times I feel that TV-series are afraid to go places. They tend to stagnate for a few episodes and not really move the general plot forward. In Hannibal there is a distinct wish to develop the characters and the story in each episode, and I'm still interested to see where it takes us.

What I feel less ecstatic about is the level of gore in the show. I don't feel that you would really need this amount of blood and grimy killings, it doesn't add very much to the show and if you are averse to that sort of thing I imagine it could put you off. Also, there is a very dense amount of killing, many episodes feature a large amount of victims. This doesn't feel entirely credible, I don't have the statistics to know the number of serial killers in the US in the last decade. But here they seem to grow on trees.

In general the actors do a fine job. Mikkelsen is a good Lecter, although I wish that he had worked some more on getting rid of his Danish accent. Maybe I'm more bothered by it than most (being from Sweden), but it doesn't entirely fit the character. Otherwise, no complaints.

I would recommend this show to anyone wanting an interesting viewing experience, who is not really looking for casual watching, and who doesn't mind the level of gore or darkness that this show provides. It can be bothersome to watch at times, both visually and psychologically. But then again, that's sort of the point.

7/10.",7
"Great production values, very good cast, but the true scares are few and far between. If you want to be horrified by poor writing, lackadaisical direction, and by having pretty much the entire list of z grade fright flick cliches checked off, then go see this movie. I, however, would recommend bringing a decent pillow, 'tis a total snoozefest.",2

"At first I believed the hype was earned but I began to realize that is all that it is, hype.

This is really just Riverdale on steroids, it's the same stagnant, shallow, insular, recycled blueprint in a very expensive elaborate disguise with kid actors suspiciously shoehorned in.

Riverdale can be entertaining though only because it taps into our primordial instincts by throwing glamorized erotica, violence and turmoil at us wrapped up in decadent self congratulatory zingers, retorts and hollow poetic speeches.

Stranger things dials this up to 'eleven'. The first seasons were more organic and at least had this semblance of immersion, drama and freshness but as it goes on it begins to over rely on shock-and-awe and tired formulas.

It's beyond flat. It inverts and comes out to grip you like a magic mirror gone rouge, the flashing reflective tentacles gripping you into a stupor. It tells you, yelling, demanding, that it's sole perfection through loud leading music drenched over stale cliches instead of letting us simply experience it for better or for worse. It's the stench of desperation perfumed with the scent of blissful overconfidence, the recipe for nuclear hype.

There is a sense of protectiveness of the series by the creators and the fans which wandered into over-protectiveness which may explain the avoidance of stepping into new territory and clinging to obsolete blueprints. In the same way overprotecting a child can cause arrested development we can see the same thing with Stranger Things, outside of its highly curated bliss bubble it meltdowns at the slightest scrutiny just like that child that didn't grow or toughen up because they were suffocated by overinsualtion.",3
"Who would greenlight something so ill conceived?

Life Is Beautiful was a funny, touching movie about a family that endures during deadly, grim hardship at the hands of WWII Germans.

JoJo Rabbit is a shrill, unfunny try-hard attempt by a third-rate hack to find dark comedy among those same WWII Germans.

But why? Who on Earth was sitting around thinking, what we really need is a comedy about the Holocaust from the Nazi Youth point of view.

Special Razzie mention surely must go to ScarJo, who puts on arguably the worst foreign accent in contemporary cinema.",1
"In the current state of movies and TV shows, executives try their best to appeal to a demographic obsessed with authenticity and genuine absurdity with purpose. With that being a handicap for some, most writing leans more toward absurdity for the sake of being absurd for no reason. When that happens, the line between genuine originality and simple stupidity becomes blurred. However, this show is the perfect polar opposite. Key and Peele manage to merge genuine ridiculousness with unparalleled brilliance. This show is sheer genius cloaked behind sheer nonsense which makes it the quintessential candidate that will represent absurdity and brilliance alike, and without prejudice. The very thing Shakespeare once held true himself.",10
"People need to realise this is a family show, it's not hard core sci-fi, it's targetted at a larger audience so has turned down the nerd and upped the action. It could be on CBBC or Saturday night prime time. It's obviously turned off some people, but it's rare to see a sci-fi show where the whole family is engaged so I like it.",8
"Only murders asks a lot from the audience because none of the plot is plausible and so to enjoy it you need to be willing to accept the invitation to go along for the zany ride. Often it is explicitly meta when it breaks the fourth wall and subverts genre expectations, but sometimes it seems to slip back into a conventional show so is a little confused here. But if you do accept the invitation then you are rewarded for the investment with some really enjoyable chemistry between the 3 mains, some one liners and gags which make you laugh out loud, and a nice reminder of the joy of not taking things to seriously and a murder mystery entertainment for its own sake. Short and sweet 30 min episode are welcome for such a show and make it easy to watch them either here and there or all in one go without much effort.",7
"This movie is beyond bad:

1. Annoying music: permanent background music that tries to convey dramatic moments for all the scenes, even undramatic scenes. I was annoyed 15 minutes into the film. 2 Hours later, was wondering why I didn't walk out of the film earlier. I counted at least 10 people walking out and not coming back.

2. Bad editing. The story unfolds from three different perspectives, which makes the scenes repetitive and adding nothing.

3. Boring. Nothing really happens.

4. Unrealistic. Without giving any spoiler, the movie does not represent at all the sheer magnitude of what happened in Dunkirk.

Please don't waste your time watching this, not even on Netflix or TV.",1
"This movie has arguably the worst writing I've ever experienced. I was incredibly excited to see it for months. I tried to stay away from excessively watching trailers or reviews to come in with as little of an expectation as I could. Which for me was hard. I adore the entire cast, I have thoroughly enjoyed some of Rian Johnson's earlier work (Star Wars excluded), and I got caught up in the nostalgia of a thrilling ""whodunnit"". Upon seeing it, I was very quickly shocked by the lack of originality, the completely cheesy dialogue, and a horrendous and obvious plot. I have never walked out of a theater in my life but this is the closest that I've ever come. I openly laughed at how bad the dialogue and plot points were. The entire theater was silent except to grimace. Don't waste your time or your hopes.",1

"Ah, yes, someone was bound to try and cash in on the success of 'A Quiet Place' with a similar-themed film. There's no way one can watch this and not compare it with 'A Quiet Place'. Only, its not as well executed.

Despite previous serious roles, I still consider Sandra Bullock to be more of a comedy star, so casting her in this film was an interesting (if not odd) choice. I must admit, though, she did pull it off pretty well and I might just (finally) see a different side to her. There's just so many plot holes here that the film is not as believable as 'A Quiet Place'. Ok, so the creatures make people suicidal, but for what purpose? Annihilation? Are they aliens? The corpses are being left to rot, so why would the creatures kill them? Or could this indeed be biological warfare? Why do some people find what they see ""beautiful"" while others commit suicide? What's the difference here? Why do the ones who find it ""beautiful"" and becoming sort of a cult group, want others to ""see"" it as well? What is their ultimate gain?

The film leaves me with way too many questions and ultimately feels like a blend of 'A Quiet Place' meets '28 Weeks Later"", only nothing here is justified or even remotely credible. Some great visuals, though, and a few nice scary moments.",4
"Because Bird Box involves removing one of our 5 senses, it is easier to review by comparing it to A Quiet Place, which has the same general concept. A Quiet Place removes sound while Bird Box removes sight, but both films involve a monster that is off screen for the majority of the movie and both films attempt to highlight the difficulty of raising children in their situation. There are other similarities as well, but I can't give more details on those without spoilers.

As A Quiet Place knockoff, it doesn't live up to the standards set by the original. It seems devoid of the suspense required for any monster movie that chooses not to show or delays showing the monster, and that is the primary reason why Bird Box fails to pack a punch. However, Bullock does very well, and the movie concept is still interesting, which will probably make this movie worth watching even though you may not want to rewatch it.",5

Now I decided to give a show second chance, 'cause you know - everyone says how good it is.

Generally - nice idea, I get the philosophy of how the technologies affect our life. However only emotion I get from this show - is irritation! I'm just pissed off)

The only two great things that carry this show are acting and CGI.

So I don't get why all people like it so much... But I may give it another chance.",6

"There honestly isn't too much to say about Extraction. I am slightly disappointed as I'd heard great things about an action sequence oner and it was Netflix's number one film at time of watching. It didn't really live up to this hype, but was still an enjoyable action film nonetheless.

The action was fun although a tad repetitive by the end. I did feel like we were getting the same sequences just in different locations for some parts of the film. Saying that though there was some great camera work during the close quarters combat, particularly a scene in an apartment building following a car chase. The choreography was always tight, maintaining a gritty and dangerous feel. Pretty unforgiving at times in its violence and pace, Extraction does provide solid entertainment.

With regards to the plot... it was so so. Nothing stand out, nothing bad. There are some action films driven by plot, far more driven by action, and this was definitely one of the latter. In this sense then the plot was good as it facilitated the action sequences and they all made sense and flowed within the world that was created. Nothing felt too out of place or fantastical, with the action remaining (for the most part) in the realms of plausibility.

Overall Extraction is a fun watch but nothing more. Its not revolutionary or ground breaking in the genre, but is a good two hours of entertainment and well worth watching if action films are your thing.",7
"Sameer lodaya.

What a marvellous presentation of the 1940 era from vikram.

The content is very good showing film industry of the independence era..the making is outclass the cinematic experience is at a very high scale..very minutely and gorgeously the art work is showed..you feel so good watching trams of mumbai, old vintage cars ,landline telephones and all other aesthetics

Aparshakti as a main lead was fabulous with soft innocent looks..Siddhant played so well where actually you can sense his struggling pain..even ram and Prasenjit looked amazing in their characters and played equally well

Some negatives are firstly the series has been divided in releasing the episodes which gives options to watch something else if one doesn't like..secondly viewers cannot absorb such scale sophisticated drama..thirdly the songs which are not hit like sacred games..fourthly same audition dialogue was repeated several times

Above all it's a masterpiece.",7
"I'm not a Nolan fan but I always want to give his movies a try because mostly I do like the general ideas for the stories that are told. I really tried to watch this one without prejudice. And after it was done, I sat there with the same feeling that I had after Inception: it's interesting but there is so much unnecessary ""action"" and plot holes that it loses so much of its potential. And that's sad!

The first 40 minutes or so are really slow. After that the tempo goes up but so many details are overlooked that it becomes a bit hard to watch. This makes me very cynical and looking at the clock to see when the movie will be over. Also, playing with time is such an interesting idea but it has to be done right and you can't just be sloppy with details like I've seen more than a few times in this film.

I wasn't crazy about McConaughey's performance, I kinda liked Hathaway. The visuals are good but I put on 2001: A Space Odyssey right after I finished Interstellar and to me these graphics are just as good, even though they're almost 50 years old. And the mood and eerie atmosphere are loads better! Besides, Interstellar seemed like a bit of a remake of 2001, and as is usually the case with remakes, not better than the original.

I gave Interstellar a 5 star rating because of the concept and the effects.",5

Stark and Rogers's contender makes you believe in a civil war within the heroes, because the two are greatly portrayed, as never before in any movie on the MCU.

A lot of fun also, with all the avengers bonding very well in the two teams, along with a great Black Panther character.

This film proves how far from Marvel Studios is DC/Warner, in terms of fun, and the whole universe created.

Just waiting for more of these Black Panther and Spider Man.

And this Steve Rogers is how Clark Kent should be in the movies.",9
THE BEST SERIES I HAVE EVER WATCHED! I HOPE THE NEW NETFLIX SERIES WILL BE THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL SERIES!,10
"I wasn't a big fan of the first Venom, but I still watched because I love me some Tom Hardy and Woody Harrelson. I figured the cast and premise was enough to give Venom a second try. I regretted that try within the first 10 minutes of the movie. Maybe I missed something's but this movie just seemed so thrown together. You would have thought the delays from Covid would have given them sufficient time to iron out the issues and fill the endless potholes. Sadly it didn't. I didn't think the screaming lady or even Carnage contributed that much to the story. Would have been better just trying to see Eddie adapt to his new life with Venom and evolving into a ""hero"" instead of adding all these other characters and concepts that ended up being executed so poorly.",5
"There was nothing that made me gasp or cheer or get emotional about. Generic story of bad egotistical male hunting a good happy man and his family. Yawn. After 12 years I expected a hell of a lot more. This movie should have been released in 2011.

Since 2009 I expected to see something really great, something new, something that would be worth the wait, but there wasn't anything new since 2009. Same colorful indigenous clan along with colorful creatures.

The story had protentional after the first hour, but you quickly realize that it can only go in one direction and have a overused conclusion as we have seen time and time again .

The saddest part of the whole story is that it had absolutely no conclusion whatsoever.",4
"Civil War is perhaps the most compelling film within the MCU. A lot of the franchise's future also hinges on what happens in this movie. It is a pivotal point in the timeline for several characters and events.

It also holds some of the best action, particularly Black Widow's sequences are at their peak. There are several other great elements; the introduction to Black Panther is fantastic, and the introduction to Tom Holland's Spider-Man is rife with good lines.

Happy to have re-watched this movie, and will be happy to re-watch it many more times.",10
"As the series was based on aspirants, I thought it would be about studies and pressure but covering a little bit of these parts it ends up being a life drama series of three friends who somehow gets divided and finally meets in the end!

Not very promising but you can watch it for entertainment purpose of course!!!!!",6
"Wonderful, gripping movie, more so because it's based on real events. I've watched it 5-6 times, each time with the same amount of interest.",9
"Deep down, I knew this was going to be bad. At the same time, I really, really wanted to be wrong about that.

The track record so far for Lost in Space remakes has been 0 for 0. The movie was awful, the Warner Brothers remake (""The Robinsons"") was so bad that I couldn't even sit through it, and that music video was just an abomination.

I've been told that fans shouldn't compare it to the real Lost in Space, but should judge it on its own merits. fair enough! I'll do just that. There are questions I'd like answered, like why they decided to call it Lost in Space when it has nothing to do with the original TV show, but I'll let them pass.

So, with a great degree of sadness and a small amount of ""well, it might not be so bad,"" I sat down and watched the reboot that isn't really a reboot, except when it's convenient to claim it is.

Right from the very first shot I knew there were going to be problems. Shouldn't they have been, oh I don't know, actually paying attention to the situation around them, instead of just wasting their time on a card game?

The pace of the show is slow and plodding. More than once I said out loud ""OK guys, you van start the scene now.""

One early scene went on and on and on, and just petered out. After a good deal of time, pretty much nothing happened. We got lots of close ups of Judy looking worried, and he Robinsons ineptly trying to do something, and then more close ups of Judy being worried. At that point I didn't care. I just wanted the whole ordeal (that is, the show itself) to end.

The characters have all of the development of the ball in a pinball machine. They bounce from situation to situation. I cared about as much for them as I'd care for the ball in a pinball game.

The special effects looked nice. But then again, my stereo speakers look nice too, but they can't hold my interest for an hour either.

All in all, as a film, ithe writing quality is the same as a mid 1990s Sci Fi channel shot on video production. It's dull and plodding, and doesn't even get the science right.

But, you know, I wanted to give it a chance. I'd watched the first two episodes in one sitting. People kept telling me it got better. So I went back and watched a couple of other episodes.

All I can say is that normally I applaud TV shows and movies that prolong suspense. The questions that the first episode raised were not addressed by the fifth episode. The pinballs kept bouncing from situation to situation. It was More Of the Old Same Old, and I was long tired of that. Besides, there were dishes that needed to be washed, and doing that looked to be more entertaining. It was time to bail.

If you like to watch pinballs or train wrecks, then by all means watch this.",1
Good movie if you suffer from sleep disorders. Extremely bad and boring if you don't. Also Oscar Isaac's acting sucked as usual. The most overrated actor ever. Don't waste your money or time.,1
"I absolutely loved Fargo. Every bit of acting is great, the script is inspired, the humor fits my taste perfectly (you may not feel the same way), the direction is, of course, flawless (I'd expect nothing less from a titan like Joel Coen), and the music is great (especially Carter Burwell's theme); this film is an example of when everything falls together perfectly and a masterpiece is created.

I'd also just like to say that Frances McDormand is the best actress I can think of right now. Her performance in Fargo is one of the best (female or male) that I've seen in a really long time. She was also good in ""Almost Famous"" (I suggest you watch the DVD version called ""Untitled"" if you haven't seen it yet, it's a lot longer, but the vision is more developed) and she was good in ""The Man who Wasn't There"".",10
"Sing (Stephan Chow), a young gangsta wannabe discovers his inner Kung-fu master and ends up participating in a massive ongoing, almost surreal, battle between various over-the-top martial-arts masters (purely-evil vs. dubiously-good) and their cannon-fodder minions. The hyper-kinetic, highly-visual action film joyfully steals tropes from everywhere: Bruce Lee films, Tarantino bloodbaths, 'The Matrix' series, Roadrunner cartoons, etc. Director/star Chow is quite funny as the (initially) blustering but ineffectual low-life, as is Lam Chi-chung as Bone, his non-threatening 'muscle' sidekick. Leading the forces of good (such as they are) are the Landlord and Landlady of Pigsty alley (Yuen Wah and Yuen Qiu), unprepossessing characters who turn out to be deadly, almost supernatural, martial-artists and whose skills are put to the test when confronted with the deadliest killer of all, 'The Beast', master of the ""Toad Style from the Kwan Lun School"". All of the characters (and the actors portraying them) are great, the endless sight-gags are often hilarious, and the script is funny (note: I watched an English-dubbed version). 'Kung-fu Hustle' is essentially one long epic, silly, cartoonish, physics-defying fight with a few scattered tranquil scenes inserted to scrape together some semblance of a plot. Great fun and, for what it is, nearly perfect.",9
"This is a pretty good movie visually, especially the first hour, but the story lacks in depth and panders to a very young audience. Probably a kid would consider it a great movie as it keeps the tension all the time, but from an adult who grew up in the 80's perspective some scenes are ridiculous and things that are supposed to be jokes do not land well. And this movie relies a lot on nostalgia so it should had been targeted for adults plotwise. I saw it in a theater full of adults.

The movie is better in the first hour, but the plot gets less interesting after it and it is not clear why they are doing what they end up doing. In general you get a sense of risk and adventure, but the characters do not convince you of their badassery too much, you sort of have to assume they are talented. But then some of the decisions made by the protagonists may leave you disappointed and the end does not leave you too convinced that a great thing was achieved.

It does not help that the main enemy is stereotypically uncool and bland, it is hard to feel that the main good characters are in great danger when their nemesis is sort of a dork. I don't know if this was put there as a homage to the 80's as then it was common to have jerky guys as the bad guys, but it's 2018 and today it is clear that enemies also can have valid motives and attractive qualities. This makes the heroes shine more at the end.

The movie is still watchable if you have no expectations (or low if you are a Spielberg cult member) and focus on the fantasy side. It has some maze qualities that are also enjoyable. But be prepared to see very silly plot twists, jokes, and attitudes in every character.

I know some enjoy seeing Spielberg failing at delighting with his wizardry, but honestly is a good movie and making a movie that is less delightful only proves his greatness by missing one shoot after many on target. In its attention to visual detail is it very attractive and you only wish the movie had a more deep story. But pulling off a story for all ages is a very difficult thing and I am not surprised that some people find it brilliant if it speaks to them (this is a feel good story at heart). But I am always ready to suspend my disbelief and plugin into any adventure and I found it difficult to be awed by this movie.",5
"Animation quality is bad, story is not exciting. Expected Game of Thrones, got Shannara Chronicles. Pretty sad..",5
"The first movie topped this one by miles Ok the creatures and visual effects were pleasing, but it doesn't hide the fact that there was too much info that were put in a messy chronological order. I expected more...it was a disappointment.",6
"Spider man 2 continues the adventures of Peter Parker and his alter ego spider man, the crime fighting super hero. Tobey Maguire is back again as is his love interest, Mary Jane(Kirsten Dunst). The high octane action is as thrilling as the first film and the main villain is Dr. Octavius(Alfred Molina) who has created a mechanical device with giant metal tentacles with which he terrorizes the city.

Dr. Octavius works on a fusion machine which will enable him to take over the world and spidey must stop him before he achieves his goal.

Meanwhile, due to his hectic schedule battling bad guys, Mary Jane has become engaged to someone else, breaking the web man's heart. Predictably, our hero will fight for his woman, and he does. The couple seem to be destined for a long and complicated relationship. Spider man 2 works as well as the first one with good acting and breathtaking action sequences.",8
I think spiderman no way home is excellent but Hollywood should stop now by making those superhero movies again and again and again and again and so onnnnn. This movie is bad boring and nothing is happening...its just the story of mother wanted her kids back that's it. Did not expect that from raimi.,2
"Why do I watch Michael Bay movies? There's more explosions than dialogue and characters that don't develop. Its just a long series of stupid gunfights, car chases, explosions, stupid hand to hand combat, more explosions, and zero attention to detail. Bullets that cause sparks? A good that out maneuvers all the bad guys but somehow gets caught? Terrible dialogue, ""over and out""? Which is it, over or out, it's not both. I get that is supposed to be fun, but I guess I would like a balance of plot, special effects, and characters that grow. We had two hours to learn something or see them develop, but nope, they inexplicably go from one extreme to the other with no real explanation of why. Im just ranting cause I'm mad I watched this. Its a waste of talent, Ryan Reynolds and Melanie Laurent are better than this. If you like things that go boom, gravity defying car chases, PG-13 sex scenes with zero set up, a pretty dumb plot, and more explosions, you will absolutely love this movie. If you want more than that, steer clear.",5

"I bought into the hype. I read reviews saying this is the best sci-fi movie ever. It's awesome; you'll be blown away, etc., etc. That could not be further from the truth.

"The main 3 characters delivery as they should with a good deal of solid acting, and excellent timed dialogue. The final storyline takes quite a few step-by-steps before it fully develops, and the pace of that may have hurt the ratings. However, I would like to bring to everyone's attention that the surprise part of this movie is the acting of the supporting cast. It is absolutely superb. Each one of them had their own unique character that contributed a good deal to the movie. Their interaction with the main characters was very entertaining. Look beyond the main theme and you will find a fun gem of a movie.",8
"I watched the first Venom movie some years ago and didn't remember much from it, but I got back to its universe pretty soon as I started watching this new one.

Decent action movie, some nice touches of inspiring drama and a few jokes that make this film just as any other modern superhero/villain movie from Marvel or DC.

Above average, not fantastic, just good enough!",10
"Despite all the bad reviews, I actually enjoyed it a lot. I haven't seen the original show before though.

Although even if I did, I don't think I'd like it any better. Because this is sci-fi and after getting used to nowadays sci-fi, I don't think I could finish the show that's done without CGI or any good effects.

There are times you will ask yourself questions like why & how. Beyond that it is quite enjoyable.

I'd say go in & enjoy and decide for yourself.",8
"I really don't see why this movie was ever created, let alone why it is critically acclaimed.

It's certainly not plot driven, and I find it hard to believe even its supporters could claim that it is. Nothing happens that is of any interest, not on a gutteral level, and not on a human level.

It's not character driven...the characters are not developed in any meaningful way, nor are they even remotely sympathetic. In fact, within 15 minutes, I hated all the characters and was hoping bad things would happen to them. Of course, nothing happened, good or bad, so I had to settle for satisfaction when they went back to their melancholy lives.

It's not funny. It's not smart. It seems like it tries to be intellectual, but I certainly couldn't begin to guess what aspect of this movie one could spend more than 5 minutes contemplating. The most self-indulgent film I've seen in years. 1/10 - no entertainment value, no intellectual value, no artistic value, so why should it get anything else.",1
"A real movie dealing with real problems. This is a movie with no frills and no cheap thrills. A movie is a tad slow at times, but no masala is added to make it more palatable.

The story is a bit novel, and deals with the agonies and pains of a NRI engineer. SRK is the NRI engineer who is caught between a luxurious life in US and the calls of his motherland. The way this theme has been handled is quite commendable. There are no efforts to brush the trash under the carpet in the movie. The bleak realities in India are shown very openly , unlike many pseudo Bollywood movies that seek to hide and paint a very misleading picture of the truth.

ARR's music adds to the glory and all the songs are quite good. The background score is very apt but sometimes gloomier than the situation warrants. The director Gowariker just excels . SRK acts very well , and is controlled in his expressions. The actress Joshi is quite OK and natural in her acting. The locales are quite beautiful and the village scenes are quite good.

But some slight flaws still exist like the weaver who changes his profession to farming and is punished for that. The problem of man vs machine is quite old and somehow village economies have coped with that. This is a slight exaggeration. Are there villages where no one is aware of the internet? I heard that in every village in India you have mobiles now. But the reviewer may be wrong. SRK comes with his caravan and how does he get water for his caravan van and what about electricity and power for his super-sized vehicle ? Again Iam not an automobile expert and maybe Iam wrong.

But brushing these slight defects aside , the movie comes out as a great creation of Bollywood. Personally it would have touched many NRIs hearts as they would have immediately identified with the theme of the movie. The pangs suffered by SRK seem so real when one is placed in a similar situation.

To summarize a great movie worth a watch",8
"Wow, this movie was such an incredible letdown. I was really looking forward to seeing this film. For the life of me, I don't know what movie most of the people rating this with 10's was watching. This was one of the most boring, lifeless storylines I have witnessed in a long while. The movie went absolutely nowhere with the storyline (if there really was a storyline). I almost walked out, but instead just fought really hard to keep mt eyes open.

There is nothing to spoil by reviewing this movie. There was little to no story or plot until the last 5 minutes of the movie. Save your money.",2
"First let me give a disclaimer, I have been a HUGE Tick fan since they day I saw the first cartoon back in the 90s. People have to remember that the Tick has always a mixed bag, you either love him or hate him. It's a parody of all things super hero, even though this time there is a bit a seriousness. When there is a serious explosion, afterwards you look for the bad guy dangling from rooftop begging for help.

I think the last live action attempt was better in some ways, in other ways I think this one will be better. I won't deny that Patrick Warburton was perfect in the last one. But Peter Serafinowicz is also pretty good. He really doesn't have a lot of screen time to judge by. But when he does he does a good job. His monologue at the end was great and I could really see him as the Tick. As for Arthur, Griffin Newman does a perfect job. The writing is of course spot on, because it's written by the original writer and creator. This new darker story line was a nice twist. And doing an origin story on Arthur was a bold choice for a pilot episode, because it doesn't give much screen time to the Tick.

The jokes are there, but only really when the Tick is around. So I think some people will miss what I think is the writer's intention. Where as before it was non-stop jokes and puns. This show is serious, then bam a joke/pun. I think over all it makes for a better ride.",8
Really Bad cinematography when it's get dark.. can't see anything... except that everything is oke .. good plot,7

Absolutely nothing at all happens for the whole film until 15 minutes before the end.

Utter utter garbage with no resemblance of a story at all.

Save some of your life and watch soemthi g else. As I tarantino fan I am hugely disappointed with it.",4

Not really...",4
Had high hopes that Netflix would abandon the Visuals first way of approaching sci fi and actually paid attention to the plot. Well they did not. I couldn't make myself watch further after one of the characters gets stuck in ice and doesn't get crushed by the pressure of the expanding ice while the rest of the crew is throwing off their jackets and have their faces uncovered on the surface as if there was no sign of the extreme cold that would freeze the water so rapidly. Terribly sad. I advise to just walk away. Nothing to see here.,3
One of the best series of the last years. In one word: Touching.,9
"Witches, vampires, demons and lesbians! Everything the American viewer yearns for. (What, no zombies?) A twilight saga for the female twenty something, stuck in her college dorm room and pining for escape. Short on action and looong on talk, the first few episodes were interesting enough but the last two episodes sat there like a dead duck. A bunch of people sitting around talking. It seemed like the entire series suddenly hit a brick wall. By the time the eight episode dragged to an end this viewer regretted ever sitting down to watch the series. Definitely a no-no for any subsequent seasons. Competent actors in a lackluster story. A Hallmark Hall of Fame romance for vampire and witch lovers. One for the lonely hearts market.",3

"I start by saying that I really like nearly every Tarantino movie, so much that I don't even check reviews before going to watch one of his. But this movie... is vastly inferior to all the others he ever made. Not a totally bad movie, but it didn't feel compelling either.

The biggest culprit is the storyline, which is somewhat bland. It follows the normal lives of several people living in Hollywood - well at least the kind of normal you can expect from actors and stuntmen - and at some point it's also touching and interesting, but overall doesn't goes anywhere. One particular character grows and change along the storyline, but everyone else stays just the same or worse is never seen again.

Tarantino also makes tons of reference to movie industry and self-references to his own movies - including Pussycat and various foot fetish - but I'm not really into this kind of things and I don't believe they can make a great movie when core aspects are lacking.

It's an ok movie, but not something I'd want to watch again. I watched Pulp Fiction at least four time, Kill Bill three, the Hateful Eight twice. But Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is just... meh.",6
"Stranger Things is one of the best TV series I have watched every single episode has its own thing that makes it engaging. Furthermore, every actor in the Stranger Things series plays there role perfectly and with great passion.",9
"Returners will enjoy the battle sequences between Venom and Carnage and the unexpected humour, but Let There Be Carnage displays too much of a relationship between Eddie Brock and Venom. To be straightforward, this sci-fi action sequel doesn't deserve the hate it's receiving. Fans who loved the 2018 predecessor's action and character focus will likely be pleased in what this one has to offer.

First of all, the film grabs our attention at the start and lets us know a little information about the antagonists. The pacing is charming, but not so pleasing when the next 30 minutes portray what's happening at the moment with Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock and alien-like companion, Venom.

Surprisingly, there's a frequent sense of comedic fashion throughout the new events. Seriously, there's small but fruitful touches with jokes that'll actually give you a solid laugh. Unsurprisingly, Let There Be Carnage brings us back to the enjoyable science fiction-themed action sequences involving Eddie Brock and Venom vs. The antagonist, Cletus Kasady. It's really witty to witness Woody Harrelson as Kasady.

"Once upon a time... many people (me included) thought that Woody Allen had some talent. But at some point something happened, his movies became boring and pretentious.

So now something similar has happened to Tarantino, I really liked his earlier movies. But come on, what is this latest POS? This is not what movies are supposed to be. Do yourself a favor and stop making movies, and just let people remember Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction.",2
"It is made for earning money and not to the betterment of film industry. Story is very raw and basic which we have seen over and over again.

When there is no story to back up the stunts , stunts become just individual scenes. That is just what happened !!!

Acting is average and you cannot really blame them as there were not much opportunities in the film to bring out their best of acting skills.",3
"The character development and the premise of the show is great but they don't even show the board during the chess matches. As a chess player myself, it's kind of like a football movie that doesn't actually show the football game, they just show the final play and expect everyone to know what lead up to it. How do we know that that winning towchdown will win the game? We have 2 players facing off in a match but you only see the individual pieces as they play. They should show the actual game of chess as in the entire board. It's kind of hard to build the drama of the match when you can't actually see the pieces in play.",7
"Don't know where to begin. This movie is a bland salad. Can't believe I actually see people throwing around the word masterpiece to describe this complete and utter trash of a movie. Jaws, schindlers list, inception, kill bill. Those are masterpiece. This movie is master poop. If u are having trouble falling asleep then watch the first half of the movie. It's a snoozer. Script is clumsy. This movie is what is wrong with cinema and television as of late. Don't know who they are making movies for. This is definitely not for the general public. This isn't a movie anyone wanted to see. The masters like Christopher Nolan could fart a better movie than this.",1

An Engaging Film for sure. Romantic, charming, angry, sweet, villain mode; whatever emotion you give him and he will excel in everything in this Film! Guys please go and watch it. Not for entertainment but for pure talent spectacle. He is still the King of Performance. Go Ahead and enjoy. Now waiting for Raees",10
"""Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery"" is the sequel to the 2019 mystery film ""Knives Out"". Once again written and directed by Rian Johnson (""Looper"", ""The Brothers Bloom"", ""Brick"") and starring Daniel Craig in the lead role, it provides an exciting, often humorous murder mystery that even the most casual viewer can enjoy.

In May 2020, tech billionaire CEO Miles Bron (Edward Norton) sends out invitations to five of his friends for a murder mystery he intends to host at the ""Glass Onion"", his own private mansion located on an isolated Greek island. Bron's friends include his head scientist Lionel Toussaint (Leslie Odom Jr.), Connecticut governor Claire Debella (Kathryn Hahn), former supermodel Birdie Jay (Kate Hudson), gaming streamer Duke Cody (Dave Bautista), and Bron's former co-CEO Cassandra ""Andi"" Brand (Janelle Monáe). Unbeknownst to Bron, the renowned detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) has also received an invitation and arrives along with the rest of the group at the Glass Onion. A short time later, Blanc learns that things are not going according to what Bron had planned and readies his detective skills to solve yet another complex mystery.

One of the most surprisingly enjoyable films of 2019 was ""Knives Out"", a murder mystery that felt like a love letter to all the classic Agatha Christie whodunits of several decades past. From its fantastic ensemble cast to its tongue-in-cheek screenplay, Rian Johnson was able to hit all the right notes for how fun it can be to figure out the murderer for the full duration of a feature length film. Of course, I think the real standout would have to be Daniel Craig's portrayal of Benoit Blanc, a southern US private investigator clearly influenced by Christie's famous detective Hercule Poirot. Three years later, Blanc's character returns in ""Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery"", a follow-up that contains just as many of the quirks and oddities that made its predecessor the hit we remember so fondly.

Like the first film, this one is presented to us structured as a typical whodunit, complete with an intriguing set-up and important clues sprinkled throughout the story. But where's the fun in solving a mystery if there aren't any red herrings to distract us from the big picture? Without divulging too much, there are some clever scenes near the beginning that have been inserted to throw the audience off the trail, one in particular actually made me laugh out loud at how obvious it was. This is used to set the stage for the real mystery at hand, one that runs deeper than the layers of an onion - a ""glass onion"" if you will. The sooner we realise the complexities of what is truly at stake here, the more rewarding the film becomes once we solve the puzzle at the conclusion. Pay attention to everything little thing you see and hear, because you never know what significance it may have in the end.

Another thing I really enjoyed about the original movie was its clever script and production design, both of which return here in the sequel. By weaving the audience along with some witty dialogue and funny situations, Rian Johnson is able to set things up for us in a more entertaining way than what could have otherwise been boring exposition. Most whodunits take on a downbeat tone, which makes sense considering most of them are about death, but Johnson is able to correctly balance the severity of a murder with light-hearted comedy in a way that works greatly in the film's favour. There's a certain amusement factor to appreciate in how each of the characters contemplate what role they all play in this conundrum, something that helps move the film along at a reasonable pace. Additionally, Johnson also factors the surrounding environment into his story. Bron's mansion itself resembles a metaphorical glass onion, with layers upon layers of him flexing his material possessions with a personal motivation behind everything at its very core. And like anything that is made of glass, we soon get see from the outside what truly lies inside of Bron's true intentions.

In what is easily his best recurring film role since a certain 00 agent, Daniel Craig plays into Benoit Blanc's character with such ease that you can tell he's enjoying every moment he is on screen. This time, Johnson has given Blanc more back story to flesh out his character, likely as a means to separate any comparisons to Hercule Poirot. Through Craig's performance, we learn about Blanc's personality quirks like his opinions on mystery solving games and why he likes what he does as a career. Because of this, Blanc feels less like an enigmatic figure who appeared seemingly out of nowhere in the previous film and more like an actual person who has worked hard to build himself up a reputation as one of the world's greatest detectives.

All of the supporting cast members were used well too, with none of them going to waste. It's hard for me to discuss them in great detail without giving away spoilers so I will instead mention one brief thing about each their characters that I liked most. Edward Norton is fun to watch as Miles Bron, who is essentially a caricature of all those tech-savvy billionaires like Elon Musk and Bill Gates. Leslie Odom Jr. Is a great straight man as Lionel, especially with some of the crazy things happening around him. Kathryn Hahn is quite convincing playing Claire, the governor of Connecticut whose reputation is on the line visiting Bron. Kate Hudson is appropriately brash and unapologetic as Birdie, a former supermodel who often types before she thinks. Dave Bautista has some funny moments as Duke, a Twitch streamer whose tough guy image is challenged by all the events taking place. And rounding off this cast is Janelle Monáe as Andi, Bron's former business associate whose decision to accept his invitation puts her at conflicting odds with the rest of the group.

Even if you aren't a big fan of whodunits, ""Glass Onion"", like its predecessor, functions just fine on its own as a solid, entertaining romp thanks to its interesting supporting cast and amusing script. It seems like Rian Johnson has gone to great lengths to craft both this film and the one before it in such a way that you don't even need to be fully versed in mystery solving to have a good time, though it does help. According to some research, a third film is currently in development with Daniel Craig reprising his role as Benoit Blanc and Johnson again writing and directing. With a winning combination like that, I can definitely see the potential in this becoming a popular mystery film franchise.

I rate it 8.5/10.",9
"The next big film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe arrives in a slam-dunk fashion, with a great story line and unexpected twists and turns. The cast, once again, as usual, is a standout. Chris Evans still proves that he is Captain America, distilling in him doubt and a questioning manner, while also showing him as a conflicted and true leader. Evans commands the film and ever scenes that he is in, proving that the Marvel Cinematic Universe isn't complete without the character. Robert Downey Jr. once again proves that he is Tony Stark and that no other actor can depict the character. Downey takes a backseat to Evans in good fashion and doesn't try to take the film away from him. This is more Captain America, than Iron Man, with Stark only arriving into the film when necessary and never hogging the film away from Evans. Downey and Evans work well together, while successfully showing the different sides of both characters: Captain America as the leader and Tony Stark as the billionaire, who after the events of Age of Ultron, is guilt ridden. His decision to favor oversight comes from a civilian in Sokovia being killed during the battle, which has a huge impact over the film. Sebastian Stan makes a welcome return to Bucky Barnes, the brainwashed friend of Captain America, code-named the Winter Soldier. Once again this character proves that the Captain America trilogy is about one thing: brotherly love. Stan's depiction brings a sense of doubt and confusion, since he still trying to piece his entire life together, while it also partly ties certain events together. Scarlett Johansson is marvelous as always as Black Widow, delivering great lines and working well opposite both Evans and Downey. Anthony Mackie is once again amazing as Falcon, Captain America's new ally. Don Cheadle still works well with Downey and in the role of James Rhodes, having replaced Terence Howard in Iron Man 2. Jeremy Renner makes a great, small appearance as Hawkeye, as does Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, lending a sense of comedy to the film and giant surprises. Paul Bettany depicts Vision as an android attempting to come to grips with the world, while Elizabeth Olsen gets to further explore the character of Scarlet Witch, sharing some really great scenes with Bettany. William Hurt makes a welcome return to the MCU as Thunderbolt Ross, now Secretary of State. This approach seems to be done as a way to still make clear that The Incredible Hulk (the black sheep of the MCU) is still part of the universe. Hurt shows Ross as a complicated politician. Frank Grillo makes a great, small appearance as Rumlow at the beginning, while Emily VanCamp makes a welcome return as Sharon Carter and Martin Freeman is introduced to the MCU in a small role as Everett Ross, who will undoubtedly return for future installments. The real standouts in the film are Tom Holland as Spider-Man and Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther. Holland steals the scenes that he is in as Spider-Man, working exceptionally well opposite Evans and Downey, as well as Marisa Tomei, who depicts Aunt May. Holland is comedic, depicting the character as a nervous, geeky, unsure character. Holland seems to be the definitive version of the character, delivering a far better performance of the character than Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, the two of whom are also fine actors. While some may say that Spider-Man is only featured in the film to introduce him into the MCU and also to setup the planned standalone film, I believe that Spider-Man worked out well in the film and lend a real sense of stamina to the film, especially the big fight. Boseman is amazing as Black Panther, delivering the character with menace and true purpose. Boseman is calm as the character, while the introduction is wild and spectacular. Daniel Bruhl makes a great appearance as the villain Zemo, who has a huge connection to the events of the film. While the character is different in the comic books, I can defend the change that had to be done, since it supports the film's plot and layout. Bruhl's approach to the character, as a calm and calculating villain, as well as the villain itself is spectacular, while he has got to be the best villain that the universe has had to see so far. The idea of having a normal, regular human face off against the Avengers is smart and total genius on the part of the filmmakers. The end result is films that will leave the viewer wondering how the universe will continue. Since Captain America: The Winter Soldier acted as a turning point in the MCU leading up to Age of Ultron, this film does the same, showing a change in Stark, while also showing Rogers as a new leader. The film ends in such a way with us wondering the directions that the characters will go in and also if Stark will ever be needed anymore, while also showing the lengths that he can go to. The film includes a number of good references to other films in the MCU, while it also acts as a terrific conclusion to the Captain America trilogy, proving that this is the best trilogy within the MCU. In the case of good third chapters in trilogies (Toy Story 3, The Dark Knight Rises, Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King) this film acts a fantastic third chapter to its own trilogy. The film also does the smart move of not revolving around a huge battle, showing the slow build up to the battle and the lengths that characters can go to, in a way showing a war of opinions in political style discussion. The result is a film that is terrific and well-handled, acting as a great comic book film, but also so far as this year's best comic book film. Fantastic!

"I was captured. Great new cast (can't have the same cast as before, cause their characters aren't born yet for another 700+ years). Already fell in love with the pregnant queen & already sad to see her & her son die. I understand we are building the story foundation, building characters background, I'm really looking forward to the drama ahead & can see a great potential & exploration that GoT could not have given us. We have 10 dragons to learn about now too! Can't wait to see their stories. I'm still upset about the ending of GoT, because I wanna know where that dragon went & what is going on there!! A suspense of a lifetime. Lol It was such a fantastic ending, I think we are only upset we couldn't get more & see the victories. Maybe someday we will get back to where we left off there. For now, learning how we got to ""Winter"" will be loads of fun, I believe. The quality of GoT has been captured from cinematography to costumes. I am truly looking forward to this adventure, new characters (and especially my beloved dragons) and I hope we get a phenomenal & deserving outcome this time! I'm willing & looking forward to continue watching!",8
"I cannot recall how many people say this is their favarious movie so I watched it today. I have checked many reviews and articles after seeing this movie because I felt confused about its super popularity.

People love it because of its non-linear narrative, dialogues, aroma, the beauty of violence, etc. But I just don't get much of it. This is a movie of multiple stories connected by some magic logic, where a personal choice by one character impacted how the story goes. But up to the end of the movie, I still don't get what the director is trying to express.

Maybe I will rewatch one day and try to find some hidden meanings under the plot.",3
"Too much arguing and shouting, boring story, annoying characters, slow paced. Don't waste your time",2
"Really good, but I found Will Robinson to be very annoying .. he kinda ruined the show. Other than that it's an enjoyable watch!",7
"I recently delved into a spree of superhero movies, but amidst the modern glitz, I felt it was time to revisit a true classic - Spider-Man 2. The movie presents a timeless story with solid tent poles and a strong focus on character development.

Upon rewatching, I found myself enthralled once again, appreciating its ability to be repeatedly enjoyed. The visuals, though impressive in their time, might not stand up as strongly in the year 2023. Nonetheless, they still manage to convey the essence of the narrative effectively.

While the antagonist could have been portrayed with greater strength, the character's development and writing were commendable, adding depth to the plot. However, it is the protagonist, Peter Parker, who steals the show with his compelling performance, leaving a lasting impression on the audience.

In conclusion, Spider-Man 2 remains an awesome classic that stands the test of time. Despite minor visual limitations, the film's engaging story and well-crafted characters ensure you won't be bored, making it a worthy watch for both fans of the superhero genre and newcomers alike.",8
"So, spoilers aside...

It's a great drama. Acting, writing, direction and production all deserve a nod, but depicting that a conspiracy at the highest level ends in the DCI - or DCSI - being the lead accomplice for the various horrific actions of violence & deception, is a farce.

This drama observes reality as much as eating a burger equals a heart attack.

Typical BBC propaganda. Described as 'it must have been the terrorist (or Oligarch type evil) who did it' without any connection to the Govt. Or its many agencies of misdeed or misinformation being responsible, is just playing to the sleeping or misguided audience it's aimed at.

Great drama. But do the producers' live in a world where their audience is so infatuated with the deceptions they're given that they're incapable of deducing truth?

8/10 (would have been higher without the propaganda.)",8
"I was really looking forward to this but it is so incredibly slow paced, rather predictable and to be honest even a little boring. I basically want to go from episode 4 to 10 just to know the 'end'. And don't get me started on Ellen Page. I understand the mental state of the character but this is too depressing. I do however like the way it is filmed.",4
"The level of details about how everything is depicted (especially the time ministry, or whatever it's called) is quite incredible - I guess it might be expected, but it's still very visually pleasing how all the small quirky details received such attention. The plot itself is also going nicely - I mean the core line, it's thrilling and captivating.

What is strange in all this nuanced surroundings is acting - all the lead actors behave like they were not given any lines to say so they have to improvise and so they try to say something witty in every case, which looks and feels very odd. And another thing is depicting emotions as snapping bitter comments on every phrase or yelling one second, and then jumping to seriously discussing the meaning of love in another. Paired with typical awkwardness like leisurely strolling and having a relaxed chat towards their only possible salvation in the world that is about to crumble to shreds in a very short while...

So my impression is mixed - it's a group of good actors that are not shining so bright, in a lovingly created world with an engaging plot but classic decision-making stupidity. Give it a try though, maybe I'm just missing something.",6
"""Attack on Titan,"" a gripping anime and manga series, stands out for its compelling narrative, intricate world-building, and complex characters. Set in a dystopian world where humanity fights for survival against giant humanoid creatures, the series explores themes of fear, freedom, and the consequences of war. The intense character development, notably the protagonist Eren Yeager's transformation, adds depth to the storyline. The series challenges traditional notions of good and evil, presenting a morally ambiguous world. Moreover, the strategic and unpredictable plot twists keep viewers on the edge of their seats. With stunning animation, emotional depth, and philosophical undertones, ""Attack on Titan"" has earned its place as a modern masterpiece in the realm of anime and manga.",1
"I've enjoyed the MI series since the beginning. I did not enjoy this one. Contrived and annoying script with stilted, forced dialog and overly convenient plot devices.",5
"Fun, action packed, iconic, and overall amazing, Captain America: Civil War is probably one of the most deep movies the MCU has ever made, as it highlights how a successful team full of very different people can have internal conflicts that we have seen earlier in previous movies. All in all, loved the movie.",9
"This show is so overrated its good that it brings attention to the issues like of suicide, bullying, sexual abuse the acting is great but that is it and the show is too slow none of the characters are likable I portrays suicide as a way to get revenge on people and it also portrays all guys as horrible and all girls as weak",2
Actually a great movie from Karan Johar! Srk delivers. This movie deserves much more appreciation.,10
The acting was weak in my opinion. I believe it was probably overdramatized too outside of the factual telling of the boy falling through the ice and surviving when the odds were against him.,2
"I guess the only thing one might complain about while reading Ready Player One is the authors obvious intention to appeal to its readers. The fact the book found its way to the big screen confirms the assumption he had a capable manager under whose supervision this happened. Nevertheless, while reading it was fun remembering all those games, music and film, in short, all those cultural references of the 1980s.

And although the writer was in charge of the script, all those fun moments were removed. The end product is a forgettable Hollywood movie about the underdog saving the world while falling in love with a girl.

I can only assume that Steven Spielberg was under pressure from the executives to deliver in terms of return on investment. According to the media reports he succeeded, although not as, for example, Black Panther.",3
"Nice setup and beginning few episodes!!!

Worst gender-undecided/indeterminate characters.

Worst explanation of quantum mechanics for the housewife.

Starts going downhill after 4th episode.

You will improve your life greatly if you do NOT watch the 5th episode (you will thank me later, absolutely nothing happens there other than hospital breakout).

Absolutely moronic end. What a wasted opportunity...",4
"Just finished watching this film, almost didn't make it to the end, but when I finally did I was sorely disappointed. I signed up to IMDB just to write this review. Some reviews say the dialogue is sharp, the characters are great, etc, but the dialogue is just full of anger and sorrow, as are the characters. It's depressing, it's certainly not a comedy, I did not laugh once. The plot has holes in it, and the ending is not worth the 2 hours that came before it. What it does portray well, and the reason I have given it any stars at all, is how it highlights just how dangerous small-minded people are to society. Avoid.",2
"Electric devices still work even if the power is down in the movie, Sandra finally looks like Michael Jackson and the script is non existent. After their first 30 minutes, the movie kept going and going without having anything to show. It is really a bad movie to watch.",5
"This was the most depresive and sad hour and a half of my life... REALLY! I am sure even the 6 years old children were shocked from the stupidity and shallowness of this pathetic X.x

And the humooor! The pathetic excuse for humor in the horrible summary of an neanderthal fun was more pathetic than your Pomerian dog's tiny excuse for reproduction....

Seriously?!? What poor souls enjoy such HD diarrhea?!? WOW! Just play Call of Duty guys... it is more realistic!......",1
"The first Venom (2018) movie was a very generic and forgettable superhero movie. I came out feeling rather underwhelmed by it but I still had some expectations for the sequel since it teased the iconic villain, Carnage. The premise is ""Eddie Brock is still struggling to coexist with the shape-shifting extraterrestrial Venom. When deranged serial killer Cletus Kasady also becomes host to an alien symbiote, Brock and Venom must put aside their differences to stop his reign of terror"". So does it live up to the title or is just another mediocre movie from Sony?

Firstly, Tom Hardy is still phenomenal as Eddie Brock and the voice of Venom. He still gives a very physically striking performance that is entertaining to watch. It is very clear that Tom Hardy is giving 100% and is also having a blast doing it. One of the most important plot points in this film is the relationship between Eddie and Venom and it is the biggest highlight. Eddie and Venom have a conflict that is similar to that of a rom-com. They are both arguing with each other, like a couple, on how they want to be a hero and how they want to live their life. It is so incredibly weird to see a man argue with an alien like they are married but it was so fun to watch.

Just from the description above, it is obvious that this film leans more towards the comedy side while not taking itself that seriously. Notably, a lot of the comedic moments and jokes made me chuckle. This is thanks to some great writing and performance from Tom Hardy. The final fight is also a lot better than the previous film as this time, I could see what was going on thanks to the director using good lighting. Venom: Let There Be Carnage also has a very memorable mid-credit scene that is quite shocking and amazing.

Unfortunately, it is quite bad when the mid-credit scene is the most memorable thing this movie has going for it. The actual plot is a very generic superhero affair that is no different from the first film. It goes through a lot of the same plot beats as Venom(2018). Eddie and Venom clash then they break up, the bad guy is Venom but evil, Venom and Eddie reunite to stop the bad guy. There is a rom-com plot with Eddie and Venom but that is very unconnected to the main plot of Carnage. The first 2 acts is just Eddie and Venom arguing with some carnage plotlines sprinkled in and then the final act with the fight. There isn't a real strong build-up for the fight between Venom and Carnage. Carnage hates Venom for literally no reason which makes the final fight feel less meaningful.

Additionally, Carnage/Cletus is a forgettable villain which is such a shame considering how iconic and amazing he is in the comics. This film butchers him completely! What makes Carnage/Cletus great is how ruthless both of them are. They are both insane murderers and together they would rip spines and heads off. However, due to the PG-13 rating there never really is a sense of ""Carnage"" and it feels boring seeing them in action. For some silly reason, they give Cletus a love interest in Frances/Shriek who has screaming powers. Why does she have those powers? Who knows because they never bother to explain it. The film confirms that Cletus murdered her grandmother and her mother in cold blood yet make him somehow really loving of Frances. It completely ruins his character. She is also the second villain in the film and she is also a garbage character that I wish they removed from the film completely. Near the end, some really stupid things occur as well with a certain character pulling a 180 when it makes no sense for them to do so. They also include a line that tries to make Cletus sympathetic but it doesn't work when you show him murder an innocent guy earlier...

There is also some returning supporting cast like Michelle Williams who they still waste in this film. There is also a new character Patrick Mulligan played by Stephen Graham who does a good job with what he is given but his character is very boring.

Overall, I enjoyed it more than the first film but it certainly doesn't live up to the Carnage title. Thankfully, Tom Hardy is still enjoyable to watch and the movie is a lot shorter with its 90-minute runtime so it is not as exhausting to watch. However, it is still a shame that Sony still hasn't managed to create a great Venom movie but the mid-credit scene certainly makes me hype for a future movie even if this one was also quite generic.",5
"Nice start and the comedy was there too, also the breaks inside the episode are probably inspired by samurai champloo",8
"The story has potential, but it has been poorly implemented. The plot was simply without suspense, without action and far too long with too much chatter. Overall, it's a pretty boring thriller that I won't see a second time.",3
"I remember our first color television. It was a 13"" Hitachi. The first show in it I saw was about polar bears. Needless to say there's not a lot of color in the bears or snow and ice. But there were nuances in everything. Our movie really is much like Marvel. We thought back in the day we were deprived because we didn't the amount of choices. That's true, but we didn't have as much mediocrity. In this case, this is the kind of movie that would have been released or more importantly funded. The story in this movie is just a mess. There are competent actors, but sadly for some reason they just let the CGI do real acting. Marvel has found itself with thousands of stories from the source material and instead we get mindless CGI and no real human interaction and stories. This was not worth your time.",4
"Based on the 3 episode I watched by far, this is what I call Art. Acting couldn't be better, the story is just mind blowing. I'm speechless so far.",8
You are thinking thinking thinking.... guessing this movie is too tricky than your mind can handle..story of a creepy murder...this movie is the Jewel of Indian film industry...What a Direction 9.5⭐(Ram Kumar) ..what a screenplay 8⭐ and the cinematography 10⭐ ...hats of Ram Kumar and all the actor for this... probably the best indian flim is Ratsasan.,10
Amazing movie. Unpopular opinion: William H. Macy performance is one of the best I have ever seen,10
"I have no idea why lead males are all doing Jonny Cash whispering impersonations nowadays. It's almost as if it's a necessity in the ""playing the cool"" hero. It's got potential. I just wish that Henry Cavill didn't sound like he was about to break into ""I was born under a wandering star"".",8
"I felt it the same theme as old movies, May be it is because I am not a hardcore fan of Avengers. Just can watch for time pass.",4
"I was very much looking forward to this, but rather disappointed of it being limited exposure on amazon. I have only a basic account, so will end up paying for future episodes if any. While not perfect, it shows promise. I did like the delivery of lines by Peter Serafinowicz as the title character, but he lacks the threatening presence of Patrick Warburton. I was OK with the Arthur backstory, but don't think it really added anything. Griffin Newman very nearly nailed Arthur, I think.

I did not like The Tick's costume. It looked cheap and cheesy. Was this intentional or were there budget constraints? Significant muscle padding may have been an improvement, since Serafinowicz's frame is not particularly imposing as I note previously. Another criticism I had was that the show is not over-the-top enough. It's like an awkward merging of life as we know it with the absurd, and they just don't ""fit"". I cannot imagine the plethora of ridiculous Tick characters in this universe, and I would miss that. I don't expect Chairface Chippendale or even The Human Ton & Handy to make appearances due to the apparent effort to make this series more ""realistic.""

That said, I think the program has considerable potential. I laughed many times, and that's what counts when you're watching a show called The Tick. If there were more episodes available at time of this review, I would have watched them. Perhaps they'll find their balance between playing it straight and embracing ludicrous.",6
"But nothing special except that, which is expected. No improvements in graphics, but only story is more complicated and more mysterious. Characters look grown up too and more experienced than before. Not as good as first 3 sequels, but good as later ones. Nothing extra to say.",9
"It's been a while since I've touched any anime after being let down and disappointed by so many before, in general a lot of them just seem like their strong points were never good writing and character development, but rather relying on pretty artwork, dumb, contrived, plot lines, and/or zany antics. Although I was skeptical about Attack on Titan, it looked like another gore-action fest with a weak story, but the writing and character development is surprisingly strong, it's easily among my top 3 after finishing this first season.

The action scenes are really, really, cool, along with the Spider-man like devices they use to maneuver around - but these serve the story, the story doesn't serve them. I also found the plot pretty interesting, but what makes the show stand out is how it connects with you on such a human level, dealing with emotions and choices that were very easy to empathize with; this makes you feel for the characters and the dilemmas they face. Their characters are portrayed at such a human, believable, level. This is perhaps what pulls me away from most animes, relying on having such eccentric, silly, characters everywhere.

However, Attack on Titan is not without faults, it does get a bit heavy- handed at times - with monologues sometimes being overly melodramatic or extended, with constant scenes of flashbacks, which at times I felt pulled me out of what was actually happening. Right now some series I'm following are Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead. I would say the writing is easily better than The Walking Dead, though not quite GoT- level.",9
"I really don't know what the other people that rated this pile watched but it's a bad movie.

The script is extremely bad, effects are very average and it does nothing to capture the comics.

If your making a movie based on the comics then please go read them before making the movie.

Plus it should be an R rated film if your going to do it justice.",3
More focused toward building love and friendship story than what the series really made for. TVF you deserve better.,8
"The dialogue was poorly written and predictable, the characters were one dimensional and over the top, and the plot could be made into a 20 short film, but is painfully stretched into a feature length film. Even Disney would find the premise of this film unoriginal and predictable. It was so desperate to win an Oscar, and it upsets me that it actually got it",2
"i have no idea how the masses have been able to muster the patience this movie requires. and i'm more than a little confused about the praise. there isn't enough story to fill a commercial. i'm not sure how to fill ten lines of text, even if i were to describe everything that happens in the movie. they passed up every opportunity to pepper in something interesting. sandy was fantastically boring. george--a total snooze. i had heard tales of something visually stunning happening, but i wasn't impressed by anything. it was very sparse. unenjoyable. trite and lazy, not subtle. i want my time back. i want my money back. i'm not on team jesse, but one more movie like this . . . .",1
"Russian Doll is definitely Not a comedy title . Well, not in the sense that you might've imagined anyways .

This show manages to astoundingly unite delicate philosophical themes, and tends to deliver them in the most lighthearted ways .I won't bother to list the aforementioned themes , as I had a considerable amount of pleasure trying to dissect the show , so it would infinitely pain me to deny you (the reader of this review) that same pleasure .

I would definitely applaud certain performances regarding this project , starting undeniably with the astonishing ''Natasha Lyonne'' , followed by the talented ''Charlie Barnett'' , although I'm truly ashamed to admit that I've never actually witnessed his work beforehand .

I would ultimately argue that the overall darkness , quirkiness , and the amount of depth presented in this show will ultimately leave you satisfied should you decide to invest some time in it , as it certainly left me in a flabbergasting -dare I say- admiration .

Brilliant , 9/10 from me.",9
"Okay , so entrepreneurship is the topic and all the entrepreneurs out there will surely relate to it . And even if you are not an entrepreneur then also you will relate with the simplicity and realism",10
"One Punch Man season 1 is one of the best anime series I've ever seen. The concept is unique, as Saitama is so powerful that he defeats his enemies in only one punch, leading him to be bored at how easy the fights are for him. Plus, the jokes were hilarious and so were the characters. If you haven't seen this show yet and are interested in anime, do yourself a favour and watch it. I guarantee you'll enjoy it.",9
Even the first part of it was not true...no one starved in shah's regime! I wish the director and the writers would read the history before making this movie!,2
"It begins with an amazing story and beautiful footage, but as the episodes go on you just keep asking yourself ""Wait, why did they do that? This would never happen in real life. It makes no sense!"". At some point it becomes barely watchable.

A promising series with very, very bad writing.",3
"Top notch acting by Farhan Akhtar, great cinematography, lots of hold- your-breath moments and decent score but too much of anything is hell, right?

Well this wasn't hell, but the movie definitely failed to keep me engaged for a while after the interval, I would place the major blame for this on the dance songs which I felt were boring and thus uncalled for and eliminating them could easily have made this a serious 2.5 hr movie.

Barring that this is a great movie, a plus side to the length is that it draws you in, exposes the motivation of the lead character and is an emotional experience if you're up for it. Again Farhan Akthar acted very well and the movie is worth watching for that itself.

Instead of being hypocritical I'll cut this review short and say this; unless you hate/dislike serious drama, don't think twice and go for it.",7
"Impressive story telling pattern, complemented by excellent acting.",10
"Not your usual super hero show, The Boys starts great and pretty much stays that way. It's gory, sweary and ridiculous but there's always a surprise and twist even if the plot doesn't need it. The actors do a great job except Billy Butchers cockney accent which is terrible.

After three seasons it should have ended with the big fight scene but it appears that they'll drag it on for more seasons, not sure it needs any more, just finish on a high. The special effects are excellent, you can see where the budget goes and they're are some truly cringe worthy scenes, it's not for children. Well worth a viewing, enjoy.",8
"Russell Crowe is very good, but there is absolutely nothing new about this movie and the 'Captain my Captain' ending made me laugh. The supporting cast is very average and to be actually considering this movie as an Oscar winner showcases how bad a year in movies 2001 actually was.",4

"David O Russell falters this tike big time with Amsterdam wherein the only thing he got right was the ensemble cast but weak writing & ordinary direction just ended up making this a tedious watch. Amsterdam is about three friends - a doctor, a lawyer & a nurse taking up the fight against the Committee of Five while trying to clear their name from murder accusation. The mystery is far deeper as the agenda of this group is bigger than the predicament the trio have got themselves into.

The thing is, the narrative here completely alienated me from investing into the story or even the characters. Multiple times I had to restlessly check the time to see how much runtime was left. None of the characters make any impact too & mind you these are some of the biggest names portraying them. There were barely few scenes that worked but only if I have to pick them out individually. By the the time Bale's voice over took over to narrate the importance of love, I was more glad for the movie to have ended.",3
All over the place with unnecessary story lines and cast members. I can't for the life of me understand why people think Nicole Kidman is a great actress. She's actually really bad particularly in this series. I don't know why Hillary's mother was there or the neighbour in the broken down lift. Margaret rents a cheap apartment and soaks in a bath to be alone. Really. At one point apparently it's impossible to get a taxi but David just gets one immediately. A lot of weird things said at inappropriate times and at one stage Margaret is at the morgue standing over a body bag containing the body of a child and before it's opened for the couple to see if it's their child she get the giggles. It's a very strange series.,2
"This TV series shows absolute disrespect for the original book, its author and Slavic culture in general.

Creators took a famous fantasy book series with a well-developed world and characters, then changed these characters, hired total miscast, replaced the plot with their own story and inappropriate political agenda.

Netflix will soon realize it's bad for business to slip your piece of ""art"" to the viewer under a well-known title. You need to work with the material or create a new title.

So save your time and nerves, don't watch this adaptation. Play the video games and read the books instead. The world of The Witcher deserves it.",2
"This movie teaches bad lessons as it is really more like trying to indoctrinate and teach you that the Nazis behaviour was not a problem by promoting Hitler as a nice person. Would you laugh if the movie was about Stalin or Mussolini or Hirohito? I certainly hope not. This movie just is an excuse to teach you that antisemitism and the invasions of Czechoslovakia, Greece, France, Poland, Hungary, Russia, Austria, Norway, the Baltics and Denmark were okay, and that death camps were no big deal and the Hitler Youth was a fun time. Please be aware this movie's messages are all bad, as it glorifies living in a dictatorship.",6

"Loki is brilliant. As many others have stated before. The CGI, acting, cinematography and especially music are top notch. I bet 100% that everyone that liked this show actually watched the credits just because they were done so well with soundtrack and visuals? And this is not even anticipating a bonus cut scene. They accomplished soooo much in just 6 episodes with no fillers that other series should take notice. I can't stand Disney and their modern day agenda but this was on point. Season 2 is already done. Why are they pushing this back I dont know and it makes no sense. Not having it on your streaming service hurts way more than having it. Smdh.",9
"This movie seems to have it all. It's a thriller, it has adventure and comedy. To be honest I expected the worse of it. I actually found myself enjoying this movie more than I thought I would. If you just sit back and watch the movie without any expectations, you'll find yourself being sucked into the movie. It's a fast pace movie. Great to watch on a nice Saturday night.

The actors are of course superb. Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law make the best of what would probably be a weak plot. It really shows what a great actor can do with movie script. I wasn't a big fan of Rachel McAdams's performance, but it didn't detract from the experience. I felt like she wasn't really into the movie, just sort of there.",6
"This movie is so much applauded for its sensitive characterization of two lonely persons and their friendship, born in loneliness. Yes, no debate about that. The point is, I don't like movies with no plot at all. ""An aged US actor and a young US woman feel lost and lonely in Tokyo and befriend."" That's the entire story. Nothing of importance happens, NOTHING! No plot, no suspense, no finish to wait for, no real character development, only the same situation again and again with some ups and downs. Whether you find the gags about shallow Japanese funny or racist, is your choice.

"I love dark comedy, but the key to a good dark comedy is that it's funnier than it is dark. This movie goes too far to the dark side. It's a twisty story full of deeper meaning about hate, anger and revenge, but falls short of being a movie you can laugh at. If you're looking for a good dark comedy I'd look elsewhere.",4
"This is one of my favorite film where every cast of the film gives their best and also story telling of the film is next level and in today why Bollywood not making this type of films. This is also very inspirational, dark, intense, mysterious, etc. This is consider best ever performance of Urmila Mam till to date. The director & story writer really work hard on the film please make more films like this. I am Damm sure even South Film Industry are also not making this type of movie. When I was watched this movie first time in my life it really a masterpiece movie also why this kind of movies are not been made in Bollywood right now.",10
"Yes, Sophia Coppola avoided some cliches and obvious approaches in making this movie. Yes, it is a nice change of pace to see a movie that doesn't resort to frenetic action or meaningless sex. Yes, there is some nice cinematography and interesting directorial devices. But in the end, a movie must have a story, and there really isn't one here. Because of the previous points, I didn't hate this movie. But I didn't like it a whole lot either. There just isn't enough here to grab. Though it may be admirable that the plot didn't develop as we would expect, it should at least develop. And the Oscar nomination for Murray's performance mystifies me. I like Bill Murray, but this was a sleepwalking role.",6
"You are simply one of the few people who have the guts to admit they don't like this movie. While watching The Godfather part II, I kept waiting and waiting for something special to happen, and the closest thing that came was when Pacino gave Keaton a good smack. I think this is a boring movie and way too meandering for my taste. I almost feel ashamed, since this is considered one of the greatest movies of all time by many people whose opinion I respect very much; but honestly folks, this is one of the most over-rated films of all time.

Michelle Williams' performance as Sammy's mother tugs at the heartstrings, while Judd Hirsch as Uncle Boris gives a memorable monologue that will earn him a Supporting Actor Oscar nomination.

"The movie is based on the story of a fan who admired his idol throughout his life. It depicts the devotion and sacrifice of a person's life in the name of someone who means everything to him, the superstar Aryan Khanna.He is a successful actor having billions of fans. But Gaurav was not like other normal fans, he dressed like him, copied his walking style, his accent and he resembled Aryan Khanna in every manner. He took this as an advantage in the later half of the movie.

The fan character Gaurav has been played brilliantly by Shah Rukh khan. SRK is played to all his strengths in the film.The bollywood superstar playing as bollywood superstar and a big fan of his which was very delightful to watch.The screenplay of the movie is really awesome. Maneesh Sharma's direction is also very good and the scenes and foreplay gives us the brief idea about crazy life of a super fan. Gaurav Chandna (Shah Rukh Khanna) is a Delhi boy who grows up worshiping Aryan Khanna (Shah Rukh), another Delhi boy who conquered Bombay and Bollywood. The Aryan Khanna who went from an ordinary middle class home to a mansion surrounded by screaming mobs, who says, as if means every word, that he, Aryan, exists only because of his fans.

Gaurav goes to Bombay in desire of meeting his idol. He stays in the same room and same hotel where Aryan khanna resided when he came for the first time to Bombay. He was very much eager to meet the star and went to 'Mannat' to have a glimpse of his star. Story looks so sweet but here comes the turning point. Gaurav attacks Sid kapoor who had a fight with Aryan and made him to apologize for his brutal behavior. The superstar didn't like this act of his fan and he rejected Gaurav. Gaurav was tortured by police under Aryan's orders and when Gaurav came to knew about it he was heartbroken and from here onwards he stood against his idol. This part of the story is very interesting where Gaurav copycats the superstar and destroys his name and fame all over the world, this makes the superstar very angry. A part of film was shot in London's famous museum Madame Tassauds. Gaurav imitated Aryan khanna over there and tried to ruin his name which was very embarrassing on the screen.Once again at this point direction came into play, perfect screenplay and awesome dialogue delivery by SRK. SRK tries to convince his fan to give up but he was totally broken as his idol someday rejected him in an inappropriate manner.They both ends up into a bad fight which eventually leads to the death of Gaurav.He had no expressions of fear while he was on the edge of his death as he knew that he was a true fan and admired someone completely.

Other actors also played good roles and gave justice to the framed script.But the ultimate hero is Shah Rukh Khan who did justice to his roles,script and everything else. It is must a watch movie, which gives an idea about crazy fans how do they admire there idols and they could even die happily for them without any hesitation.",10
"I've read all 3 books and was really looking forwards to this series... Until I watched the first episode, even watched the 2nd one which was even more off base. I know not to get my hopes up when a book is put on either the big or small screen as books are invariably better as you have to use your imagination. From the start it was clear that the series is loosely based on the books, however, I found myself getting more frustrated as the differences got larger and larger.

Do yourself a favour and read the books.",1

"Alpha is an absolutely stunning and beautifully shot film that had me with my jaws dropped at some scenes. However, the story is incredibly slow and dull, with very little character interaction to speak of. The characters speak in an invented language, which sounds very real, however, because of this barrier, the directors seem to avoid using dialogue as much as possible, making the movie fell empty and lonely. While this empty feel can be argued to set the tone when Keda is thrust away from his tribe, that feeling stays with the viewer even when all the characters are together. The movie is about a boy who loses his tribe and befriends a wolf, but the segments where Keda is with the wolf are the most dreadful by far. Absolutely nothing happens here, and the movie begins to drag around this part. Overall, Alpha is a beautiful but incredibly slow film with poor characterization but a unique premise.",3

The one criticism I had was that several performances were easy; it didn't feel like some of the performances really had to reach that far, didn't have to extend themselves into the roles that much, just sort of going through the motions. The car(s) ultimately felt like the star of the movie, plural because there are plenty of nice car eye candy throughout. Again, I enjoyed this movie, it was fun and satisfying, and had some good funny moments.",7
"I'm grown now. I've thought many times about this series, in fact, I've watched it five time through completely. This series encompasses everything that I want from a story: passion, betrayal, vengeance, redemption, humility...you name it, this show has it. Apart from its obvious construction for a younger audience, this show tackles many very adult concepts: war, genocide, morality, mental health among the most important. I wish everyone would have watched this as a child, I feel the world would be a better place. Not much else to say except, please, give it a chance.",10
"I happened to find the name of this anime on a meme and felt like wanting to watch it. The anime's setting is in a small Japanese city inside an apartment turned into a miniature laboratory. By chance the team encounters time traveling and discovers secrets of the organisation. Lets leave it at that.

The animation appears to be very sharp and crisp. The colours seem to light and yet full. The animation illustrates emotions and expressions with intensity. This illustrating is what makes it appealing and special.

The voice actors do their part well and fit the characters. Its as though the characters' voices are their natural voices. You know that voice belongs to such and such, and you can imagine what that such and such would be like from their voice.

The story of this anime is what makes it fantastic and the other features complement it. There is mystery involved in the story so being attentive is called for. The plot thickens as the story progresses and after a certain point becomes thrilling.

I did not like Kurisu she was overbearing for a main character and yet her being a minor character would not be much better, being a main would be. She appears as the chick flick girl with scientific knowledge. I suppose that is how writers satisfy the drama pangs of those who indulge drama, soap operas and chick flicks.

It is a fantastic anime to watch it might be extra light early on, it gets going after with style. Who knows it might become one of your favourites.

Enjoy!",9

"Very interesting story, a men fighting for his brotherhood and sisterhood in a horrific world of haters. Story arises when a supporting actor helps him over his capacity so film seems like another is fighting for his own brotherhood and sisterhood himself.

Story revolves around men and his supporting actor actor only, what challenges they face and how they manage to get away from all obstacles, story is created some where with the real world too. Story also motivates all men to cap up with all kind of challenges and how indian face them by treating them practically. I am pleased with whole cast of the film for their efforts to make men get rid of differences made by society and also action sequence of the films are marvelous.",10

You are telling me that the cuts are so obvious even a toddler can notice where they are? Then what is the point of this so called ""technical achievement""?

"I really wanted to like this, but the direction was lacklustre. When you have a very complicated plot, then editing, pacing and direction are critical. This is not nearly as much fun as the first Knives Out, and the dialogue is strained. The players try very hard, but it's all a jumble of dialogue and information with no time to enjoy the puzzle. It might be better second time around, so I will watch on tv in a couple of months.

In particular, Daniel Craig's southern gentleman detective is far too noisy, bumbling, and silly. Most of the other characters are almost clichés. The whole movie looks rushed into production, a desperate attempt to make up for losses during COVID.

Too bad. Perhaps a ""directors cut"" might be better.",6

No connection, sympathy nor empathy for any of the characters, so no vested interest in their fate.

Would have served better suited as a stage play for the same pretentious people this movie seems to preach against.

Utterly boring, no moments of shining perfomances... Fiennes could have kept his Harry Potter Robes on for all the difference it would have made.

No idea how this is satire as it was as blunt as a cast iron skillet across the face.",2

I couldn't make it past the 3rd episode. It was boring and I wasn't interested in the characters and to be frank, the male protagonist didn't draw me in at all. However, from what I've heard, SEASON ONE ISN'T TOO BAD. I think the message is great as well. People need to be kind and treat others as we want to be treated.

However SEASON TWO SHOULD NOT BE WATCHED! From many people, I've heard about how MESSED UP it is and how YOUNG PEOPLE SHOULD NOT WATCH it because it'd highly inappropriate and kind of traumatising. ""13 Reasons Why"" should not be able to be freely watched by anyone of any age on Netflix and it shouldn't have even had a season two to be frank. The message and meaning of season one was amazing and should've been left at that. But no, they wanted to make more money.

"Yes I actually saw all of the seasons 10 episodes last night; The Good news is it is not as campy as the original series . The bad news is the it is not as fun as the first series. The positive side of the characterization is The Characters are more flawed and complex hence more human than the original series . ( Most characters are updated this way anyway theses days. Some gray areas. although it is hard to why the DR Smith in this series acts the way she does, even though she says her intentions out loud when she is caught after manipulating and conniving . Some touching meaningful touching moments occur with between the characters., and then some cliched contrived moments meant to be deep but just comes off as boring. I agree with changing the characters from the original( although many reviews don't) because it adds some interesting fresh changes, yet they are still cliched in there own way.. The season ending is unsatisfying but is not a cliff hanger. mostly this update of the original series was disappointing but still had enough to make it worth watching.)",7

"""People come to my show for the pleasure of being hoodwinked. Just once, I'd love to give them something real.""

The great, self-serving irony of ""The Greatest Showman"" is that supposedly being hoodwinked is what's real, whereas that purported as real is a classist fraud perpetuated by snobs and joyless critics--perhaps, like the very ones who panned this movie (checking as of this writing, it holds a poor 56% score on Rotten Tomatoes). As opposed to the depiction here of the historical figure of P.T. Barnum, however, whose humbuggery hardly extends any further than padding the weight of a fat man or selling a tall guy, for whatever reason, as Irish, the movie itself is largely a fiction debased from the historical record. Nevertheless, ""The Greatest Showman"" is an immense, musical spectacle, and I can appreciate the symmetry of a movie that lies about a showman who likewise deceived. This reflexivity, however, is, again, self-serving and nothing along the lines of, say, ""F for Fake"" (1973) is done with the illusion beyond the preservation of it.

I learned a bit about the historical Barnum as ancillary to my studies of itinerant exhibitors of early cinema, who would incorporate some of the same sort of variety acts and showmanship into their entertainments. The scene in ""The Greatest Showman"" of the light-and-shadows show Barnum gifts his daughters is a nice touch in this regard, alluding to the future spectacle and novelty of motion pictures. My favorite scene, too, might be the rebuke of Disney, with a young Barnum stealing a loaf of bread as though he were Aladdin, then, being offered an apple by a woman recalling Disney's typical association of ugliness with villainry in ""Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"" (1937), which makes it kind of ironic that I viewed ""The Greatest Showman,"" originally distributed by 20th Century Fox--a studio since acquired by Disney, on Disney+.

I also appreciate the analogy here of racial discrimination with that against the so-called ""freaks"" of Barnum's show, although the fictional interracial romance between two fictional characters hardly rises above an ancestry commercial. And, before turning Barnum into some handsome white savior and although he reportedly became an abolitionist, his start in showbiz wasn't offering dignity to a dwarf; he purchased a person and touted her as the 161-year-old slave of George Washington--later exposing the hoax, too, by charging admission to an autopsy. That doesn't make for a fluffy, sometimes-repetitive musical, though.

Since they fictionalized history, however, I still would've hoped they wouldn't do so as to make some of the women in the story less compelling and, in the case of the real singer Jenny Lind, into a libelous homewrecker trope. Michelle Williams, too, as the housewife is wasted. A talented actress, she's proven that she can do well even with small roles (""Brokeback Mountain"" (2005), ""Manchester by the Sea"" (2016), e.g.), but there needs to be some promise to the part--something more than being required to smile and stand by the Hugh Jackman song-and-dance show. Yet, ""The Greatest Showman"" is admittedly spectacular eye candy, with pleasant dancing and musical numbers, including the Oscar-nominated ""This Is Me."" Sometimes it may, indeed, be a pleasure to be hoodwinked.",6
"Ever since the release of the first Harry Potter movie in 2001, I've wondered how a TV miniseries of the books would have fared. The movies so far have had difficulties showing enough of the books' events within a reasonable time slot to keep the story flowing. They've all had to omit significant plot points, which has not only disappointed the more literal-minded fans but risked the integrity of the story. This was most painfully evident in the fifth movie, ""Order of the Phoenix,"" which awkwardly attempted to fit the longest Potter book into just 2 hours and 15 minutes of film. The result was a movie that felt choppy and barely coherent, almost dreamlike. The two best films up to now--the third and the sixth--worked in part because they took the most risks, often departing substantially from the narrative of the books, to the consternation of many fans. I was not one of the fans complaining, because I figured that as long as it wasn't a miniseries, the best approach was to interpret the story rather than present the events exactly as they appeared in the books.

Dividing the seventh book into two movies has given a taste of what a miniseries might have been like. ""Deathly Hallows: Part 1"" is a more faithful adaptation than any of the previous films. This surprised me a little, because the portion of Book Seven it covers is actually longer than the entirety of some of the earlier books. (As I was rereading it a few months ago, I correctly guessed where they'd end Part 1--it's at an important turning point in the story that occurs close to the two-thirds mark.) Most of the film's sequences are exactly as I had envisioned them, and sometimes better than I had envisioned them. I especially liked its approach to the Riddle-Hermione scene, to the matter of protective enchantments around their camp (which is handled with a nice dose of spookiness), and to a spell that distorts a character's face. Apart from the oversimplification of a few plot details here and there, any flaws in the story come straight from the book. The two-and-half-hour movie drags at some points, but then so did the book, particularly in the forest scenes. The plot concerns Voldemort's takeover of the wizarding world and pursuit of Harry, who goes into hiding with Ron and Hermione but repeatedly endangers them and himself in his daunting efforts to find and destroy a set of objects that keep Voldemort immortal, aided only by a few enigmatic clues Dumbledore has left him.

It is not a very accessible film for non-fans. People who haven't read or seen any of the previous installments will probably be lost. It never once pauses to explain the Harry Potter universe or anything about the background to these tumultuous events, not even a prologue like the one that began the third of Peter Jackson's ""Lord of the Rings"" films. The good news is that it doesn't condescend to the audience. The bad news is that if you don't know or can't remember things like what a horcrux is or what happens when you point a wand at someone and say ""Obliviate,"" you might have trouble following the story.

As a fan, however, I loved it. It's just well-filmed, and I had notably fewer complaints about acting and special effects than I had for the previous movies. The CGI is relatively unobtrusive, and there aren't too many fake-looking moments. (The house-elves look especially good this time.) Ralph Fiennes finally appears to have settled into the role of Voldemort, after having delivered somewhat phoned-in performances previously. The kids, who get to dominate more scenes than in any of the other films, when their presence was counterbalanced by a plethora of seasoned British performers who are mostly absent here, have really grown into their roles. They were well-cast from the start and always had a certain raw talent, but early in the series they possessed some of the amateur qualities common to young actors. They have become increasingly proficient as the series has progressed (which I suspect was what the studio intended when it eschewed the tradition of casting older actors in child roles). Here they display the kind of camaraderie that can only be developed gradually, after having acted together in several films, and it makes the scenes that deal with their relationship feel natural and unforced.

I actually look forward to seeing the movie again at some point, just so I can sit back and take in more of the details. I think I didn't appreciate it enough the first time, distracted as I was by my knowledge of what happens in the book and the lack of any significant divergence in the film's depiction. There is not a lot in this film that will surprise fans; the enjoyment comes from seeing how vividly it is all brought to life.",8
"I've liked this series from the beginning but this new season has kept me glued to my seat. There's so much suspense and and so many twists, I can't stop watching it. And the villain...is one of the worst ever. You don't have to be a Marvel superhero lover to watch this. It's the suspense and characters you become involved with that make you care about what happens to them. You probably have to see previous seasons to understand the characters but it's well worth worth the watch. I do not like the Marvel movies but love, all but one of the Netflix marvel series. They're nothing like the movies.",8
"It's won best picture for 2020 along with other awards so seeing all the hype I am really looking forward to seeing this masterpiece.... WOW, was I disappointed. Yes, it's a good film, funny, silly, good acting (not all) etc but ""Best film "" er no ... there are loads of good films equally as good as this but not worthy of the awards it's been given. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it but films like 1917 are head and shoulders above this in every way. I know you can't compare the two films in their content but to get best film in my opinion is to tick all the boxes in all categories above the rest, yes??? well Parasite just doesn't do it.",6

It feels like the kind of tv that instead of great scripts needed actual content is traded for nudity and shock gore (albeit hats off to costume designers and makeup crew!!!)

Story line tired, sad and only chemistry is between the would have been queen and her husband who live on the shores of the sea.

This series lacks the teeth and characters found in the other series to be a proper fighter for anyone who enjoys deep storytelling. A lot to be said for lackluster performances.

Cheap tricks in trying to keep audiences hooked. Obviously , someone out there loves this and it will continue to be watched. Not worth the subscription.",3
"The first two seasons of this show were so good! I even rewatched them before the third season was starting. And then..the third season. What a letdown. It seemed like they were more concerned with putting in 80's references than keeping the shows interesting and engaging storyline from the first two seasons. If you're debating whether to watch the show or not, watch the first two seasons and stop there!",3
"So many things about this movie were great. The set up, cinematography, directing, effects & scenery, etc... However, the very ending has such a clean wrap-up and lack of emotional impact that it doesn't really fit well with the movie, in my opinion. Also, the acting falls flatter than what we've come to expect out of Nolan's films. Not to say it's bad, but some people have been praising McConaughey's performance and I feel like he's kind of just phoning it in for most of the film. Also (no spoilers) there's a scene where he watches a video tape and gets emotional; and I just could not relate to the way he was reacting at all, I understood certain elements, but the way he presented it was not the way I would've pictured it. Although I sound like I have a lot of gripes with this movie, I really did like it. There's really a lot of amazing parts about this film. I just don't think it's as monumental as some people are making it out to be. And I also noticed that it has a higher score than The Prestige on here and that is just absurd.",7
Only one thing which I think that the climax is short. It should be more content on that.,8
"Worst movie ever, OK maybe not ever. What's wrong? Nothing happens. Two bored people entertain themselves in a montage of boringness that last way too long. The movie drags along, with you waiting for some sort of climax and resolution, at least a hint of western film making. With an ending that left me wanting punch myself for sticking around the whole time.

I would not recommend this movie. I would only watch it again if I was going to attempt to gain a perspective on why so many people think this is a good movie. My friend thinks this is the best movie and that Paycheck is the worst. Okay, the acting isn't so great in Paycheck, but at least it was entertaining: chicks and explosions. I'm pretty sure I fell asleep on the couch once or twice during this movie.",2
Bad acting and weird script. What more can be said?,4
"Fun, serious, hilarious, and goofy. Great actors and storylines.

The characters are so fun and interesting, and all of the cameos and multiple sides of each character that are revealed make it feel like a mix of a book series, theater, and movie.

The theater theme is intertwined with every part of the show and it often feels like watching a play.

The funny parts are sometimes laugh out loud and sometimes just a smirk or a chortle.

Some parts are truly sad, some are so curious that it's hard not to keep watching, even when it's way past bedtime.

Martin Short and Steve Martin are amazing together after years of a professional and personal friendship, which is obvious in this series.",9

"Doctor Christian Bale, one-eyed veteran of the Great War, gets called in by best friend, lawyer John David Washington, to do an autopsy on their commanding officer, General Ed Begley Jr. Daughter Taylor Swift suspects foul play; Bale and Zoe Saldana discover what may be poison in his gut. When they go to tell Miss Swift, she gets thrown under a truck; the guy who did it starts screaming that Bale and Washington did it, and they have to start running for their lives and investigate. We then flash back to the end of the War, with Bale and Washington sharing an apartment in Amsterdam with Washington's lover, Margot Robie.

At this point, I expected it all to turn into some vast, world-girdling conspiracy, like mid-life Hitchcock, and so it did, eventually, but first director David O. Russell needs to do some rambling with MI-6, the Bonus Marchers, some scenes lifted from Raymond Chandler shot as if they're done in two-strip Technicolor, and a detective who looks like a skinny William Bendix. Russell has enough pull in Hollywood to get some major stars in minor roles, including Chris Rock, Michael Shannon & Mike Myers (playing some spies with a birdwatching fetish that suggests Naunton Wayne and Basil Radford), Timothy Olyphant, and Robert DeNiro as a Smedley Butler knockoff. The script deals with real issues of 1933, the year it's set in; it also links up with current geopolitical issues, which is probably why the particularly star-studded cast.

It rambles, as I said, but the details are so entertaining that more than two hour went by very easily.",7

The writers could have done more to maintain a suspension of disbelief, as some plot points are simply way too absurd. The commitment of the actors bravely attempts to overcome, but doesn't.

Raimi is an inventive director, but he seems to have trouble telling a cohesive story. Much of his work fails yet shows flashes of brilliance. Very frustrating.

Many people won't mind, I guess.

"As a huge fan of the video games, I was really looking forward to this show. Knowing how video game adaptations usually turn out, I was also skeptical.

IMO this is the best video game adaptation so far, but it's not as good as the game.

While watching this show I constantly found myself thinking ""Why did they change this scene? Why did they change this line of dialogue? Why did they change this character's motivation for doing X? Why did they add this character? Why this new side-plot?"" IMO most of it didn't improve the story, but made it worse.

Looking at the season as a whole, it had a strong start, then got really mediocre, but picked up again for the finale.

"The third season of ""The Witcher"" series was disappointingly lackluster. Despite the high expectations set by the previous seasons, this installment failed to captivate viewers with its convoluted storyline and dull character development. The pacing felt off, with tedious subplots that distracted from the main narrative. The once engaging and complex characters seemed to lose their charm, becoming mere shadows of their former selves. The action sequences lacked the intensity and choreography that made the show stand out. Overall, the third season of ""The Witcher"" fell short in delivering the excitement and intrigue that fans had come to love, leaving them with a sense of boredom and a desire for more compelling storytelling.",1
"I watch a lot of films, some years more than 500, and there's is little I enjoy more that a well crafted film. I tend to read about what I'm going to watch as I get pretty annoyed if I feel I've wasted my time. By the end of this movie I was quite offended. Where to begin? Let's begin with the main character, John's mother, Joyce. She could not be a more off putting human being. Controlling, judgmental, overbearing and a little bit racist (""the rapper was a bit much don't you think?""). Rude to everyone she comes into contact with throughout the movie, she berates the medical professionals who are trying to save her son. By the end of the third act I was rooting for the diabetic coma she was in to finish her off. Topher Grace as the ""hip"" pastor was equally unlikeable. A walking cliche, his poorly acted character comes across as mainly creepy and invasive. Joyce's husband was the character I identified with most in this movie. He seemed like a real human being, flawed and struggling. The added star (2nd) is for John. The kid that played him did a nice job. He was solid in his role, his acting was the best in this film. We can move on to the medical inaccuracies that permeate this film. The first doctor the dealt with an unresponsive John basically threw his hands in the air and gave up after 2 minutes of CPR, this is ridiculous. This kid would be worked on for hours, intubated, put on a respirator and any doctor that behaved this way would lose his licence. Not long after it's stated that ""nobody in John's situation has ever survived"". Would you like to explain that to the nine patients who survived hypothermic cardiac arrest between 1999-2013. In reality many people have survived prolonged submersion in very cold water, some showing no lasting ill effects. By now, if you've bought all that malarky, you probably do believe that the hand of god is the only thing that could possibly be responsible for John's survival. This is where the movie takes us, the power of combined prayer (and amazing singing by the random townspeople) is what wholly saves John. Of course it had nothing to do with expert medical care as Joyce made most of the decisions about what was best medically for John (although after seeing that first doctor's work it was probably for the best). This is not a question of belief, i happen to believe there is a god. This is a question of whether this movie makes any sense...it does not. I watched this in a hotel room on HBO, nothing else was on. I feel as though I need to read a good book to restart my brain. This is just a bad movie. BAd writing, bad acting, unlikeable characters. It did accomplish one thing, I know how John felt. My brain feels numb, as if it's been submerged in freezing water for 15 minutes.",2
"Being a middle aged Englishman I've been brought up on a diet of murder mystery stories and in many respects I've been spoilt. When the stories have translated from book to screen the production value is almost always secondary to the good conjunct story. I was very excited, having read the reviews, that seemingly in the case of 'Knives Out' I would be getting a rare trinity of a good story, good actors and good production. It certainly has two of the three. Unfortunately this film thinks it's cleverer than it is. It's simply a story of a privileged family and their pettiness with a rather trivial murder mystery chucked in as a contrivance to get them all together. Rian Johnson attempts to display the worst nature of the privileged minority with all the subtlety of a man screaming 'I am woke' at the top of his lungs at anybody who'll listen. Unfortunately subtlety and nuance are what makes for a good mystery story, you need to pay attention so as not to miss anything. With this film you could miss probably the middle third of the film and you'd not be any less aware of what's happening. A bit of a shame really.",4
"You cannot beat the nostalgia in this show. It was the 80s man! While I love this show this most recent season had way too many plot lines to keep up with. Loved Hawkins & Russia stories but California & the lab just didn't do it for me. They are going to have to kill off a major character soon. Just so long as it's Eleven. Sorry, I don't like the character, actress or the many isolation tank scenes. While they're at it I don't much like Jonathan either.

RIP Eddie! (Ps: do NOT kill Dustin or Steve LOL)",9

"So much misdirection! As an audience, there is a special enjoyment in film that comes from sifting through clues to discover truth. When this energy is wasted due to blindsides by the filmmakers, the enjoyment diminishes. This is what happened in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.

At its core, this film is a filler piece. The purpose is to move the plot away from Newt and to focus more on Grindelwald and Dumbledore. While it essentially accomplishes this task, there are far too many subplots and red herrings to maintain interest.

Characters were introduced with little to no explanation, the plot was disjointed and there was minimal third act payoff. I enjoyed the ""For the Greater Good"" rally and the brief, few minutes at Hogwarts. Unfortunately, this film is at the bottom of the entire franchise.

Additional Note: The Mirror or Erised scene was ridiculous. It contradicted everything about his arc from Sorcerer's Stone to Deathly Hallows.",4
"I did not expect much of an Hannibal make over - but I have to admit that this might be very well among the TV shows I do like best this year.

The story line is interesting (so far) the cast well chosen - a nice mix of well known faces and fresh faces. The photography is outstanding indeed it is so good that it easily matches cinematic standards. The dialog are interesting and providequite a bit of debts to the different characters. The gore and violence part takes up little room and do not leave me with the impression to push the adrenalin button.

Well done - I am looking forward to more twists in the story - it certainly has a lot of potential!",9
"The Oscars, as we knew them, are no more - haven't been for a while, actually.

Once they represented excellence, when they awarded truly great movies with prizes.

Sure, they sometimes missed the mark. Like in 1976 and 1980 (Rocky over Taxi Driver and Ordinary people over Raging Bull? - pleeease. But at least both Taxi Driver and Raging Bull were nominated)

Everything, everywhere all at once, Nomadland, Parasite, CODA, Power of the Dog - these are not great movies.

Hell, they aren't even GOOD movies. What they are, instead, are movies, that hit all the politically correct notes.

So, that is now the Oscars.

Not artistic excellence, but, as their new official rules state: The Academy of Motion Picture will disqualify movies from Best Picture contention that do not have enough black, gay and disabled actors in the cast and crew from 2024.

Actually, they have done exactly that since at least 2020.",4

"I've tried to watch this film twice. Months ago I rented it, and my wife and I gave up 30 mins in, realizing we hadn't even sniggered once at the film (tho we did at the fake trailers that precede the film). Seeing that the film is on some 'best of 2008' lists, I gave it another shot. Still no cigar! I could find nothing to laugh at in this film. I'm not offended by the race and handicap portrayals that offend others, but I simply did not find it remotely amusing. Nothing. Not once did I laugh.

I love comedy of all sorts (tho perhaps have a bias to Brit comedies), and simply cannot understand what people are finding funny in this. I suspect many of the movie reviewers appreciate it more because they're 'in the business'... I find Office Space funny for that same reason. But for everyone else, what are you laughing at here? This is no classic comedy. It's far beyond a lot of other dismal comedies that hit the market (eg those appalling 'spoof' movies), but there's not much going for it. All of the characters were one-joke ponies. The visual humour was stretched. Much of it was simply pointless.

Maybe I'm getting old...",2
"This is a good survival mystery horror film, Sandra Bullock and others were well-casted. I like that even we the audience can't see the entities it makes the atmosphere even more creepy. the cinematography was wonderful especially the river sequences, and the editing was amazing, jumping back and forth from the current situation to the past and vice versa worked well. But what i didn't understand is that some could ""see"" and nothing would happen to them, did they adapt or something? it wasn't really explained here nor the origin of the entities for that matter. And the ending was a bit weak.",7

"Easily one of the best entries in the Marvel cinematic universe, The Winter Soldier is as much of a top-notch action thriller as it is a superhero blockbuster. It has a compelling premise, engaging story, and exciting action set pieces. If there are any real complaints, it's with the climax, where the action begins to go a little too over-the-top. However, even at its most bombastic, the Russo's always manage to keep the action in service to the story.",8
"Margot Robbie had a vision, and she was the driving force to get the Barbie movie produced by none other than world-class director Greta Gerwig.

The beginning of the movie brings us back to the first trailers for the movie, when little girls discovered a new doll, the first Barbie. She was different than any other doll because she was not a baby-doll, no, she was a woman-doll; a doll which could inspire the imagination and aspiration of children.

Margot Robbie plays the main character ""stereotypical Babie"" and brings her to life in every detail and introduces us to Barbieworld with all her friends. The perfect repeated ""best day every day"" gets disrupted by unknown circumstances and ""stereotypical Barbie"" accompanied by ""her"" Ken, portrayed by Ryan Gosling go on an adventure of their lifetime to the ""real world"". The discoveries and experiences that these two make have major impacts in both worlds.

This movie is worthwhile watching for the costumes and displays as much as for the social criticism of our time. The words of Gloria's (America Ferrera) speech hit the nail on its head regarding the daily struggles of women in our modern world. This movie is a depiction of reality and a dream world. It shows the possibilities as much as the shortcomings of our times with humor and fun, a little bit of sarcasm, paired with the innocence of someone new to our reality!

Highly recommended for everyone who is not too shy to face real world struggle in a pink coated Barbie world.",9
"Good action , a lot of filming technique, very extra and high budget , but the story plot made no sense... too fast pace, too messy, hard to follow, this movie is built with money but no content ... would recommend .. if you play this movie in the background and while multi tasking... otherwise .. don't bother wasting ur attention on this movie",2
"Was really going into this movie with high hopes, was met with utter disappointment.

Everything from the TV shows and movies before this meant nothing because the characters seemed to have learnt nothing from them. Because character development, who needs that right?

As for the surprise cameos, watch those get butchered in a few seconds and mean absolutely nothing other than to sell a ticket.

Visually there was some interesting parts as it is with movies that feature Doctor Strange or his own movie before this. But besides that it's a hollow, tasteless, messy and convoluted movie that betrays it's characters stories unlike what the folks on the Disney+ shows are doing.

Yes, the TV shows are doing better than a million dollar blockbuster movie...",4
"Attention girls, women, and Hillary supporters, you finally get your chance to enjoy the most popular movie genre as we step into summer. We already know the usual men's enjoyment concept from the comic book movie, where Batman fights Superman, or Captain America fights Iron Man, or Harley Quinn flaunts a sparkling tight thong. Now, a female superhero stars in her own female-directed movie, in armor built to expose her arms, legs, face, and shoulders!

Does Wonder Woman automatically pass as certified fresh? Is it considered sexist to criticize a movie by a female director? No, and no.

The first few moments progress with the velocity of a tuckered-out tortoise. It begins with our hero, Diana, remembering her childhood, when she felt inspired to fight for her fellow female warriors on their Zeus-created island. This repetitious, slow prologue only establishes facts that later get repeated.

Things still start off rather slow in the first act, but women may love the immediate role reversal to give them well overdue credit. Right away Diana rescues a man from drowning, following a fight between the united Amazon women and a technologically advanced German army. These battles look less like the usual fan service kind of write-in, and more a choreographed ballet of steel mesh fit for the most committed of DC followers. The male viewers will offer praise as well, such as key scenes which tribute all the classics of guy's-night-in cinema, and a direct connection to Wayne Enterprises.

The DC Universe could finally find its footing, yet improvement advances just by a hair compared to the loathed predecessors of the cinematic universe. The more forgetful characters here contribute nothing important, both in writing and direction, making the world around them equally shallow in cinematic exploration. The most accurate Greek mythology fact stated here is the women's birth origins from clay. Oh, and the island somehow coexists with the rest of the world, only accessible by a portal. It seems DC's cinematic universe cannot decide on its own reality.

However, both the theme and artistry picks up from here. As the pilot/spy takes her from her home into civilization, he teaches her about his way of living as she arrives in London. The detail of her unfamiliarity parallels any immigrant arriving in a new home. As Diana takes on the city, fine dresses interfere with her ability to fight. She refuses to accept society's standards of being a lady, nor does she tolerate their form of government. From her experience, good generals fight amongst their other soldiers rather than sit in offices. She cleaves against her sword and shield, and sees the contradicting wide lacy indigo dresses as a straightjacket to her destiny. So, we can conclude one applicable takeaway: women empowerment means showing lots of skin. Does that also give women the right to sexualize their wardrobe along with practicing brute strength? Celebrating sexual freedom should never be a sign of fighting for others.

Outside of the Israeli-Aztec heroine, the characters either hit or miss your memory as they come. Her spy/boyfriend works alongside a trio of soldiers who each voice strong opinions about bringing a woman on the battlefield with them. The first, a Moroccan, adds needed male flavor with his zesty interaction with the female hero. The other contributes sympathy as he generates a needed soul on the piano. The third, named ""Chief,"" gives a great backstory to America for Diana's understanding. Outside of the heroes, a great female villain, addressed as Dr. Poison, compels your curiosity of her backstory thanks to her hazy performance behind a secretive phantom mask. So what went wrong here? Their accents resemble two days' worth of dialect classes rather than someone who breathes the culture. If these American films continue to misrepresent other cultures, why bother attempting to please an international audience? After all, no one can buy into a Greek island of Amazon woman descended from Israel, Britain, and Africa.

By the time the third act rolls into play, the drama declines as you come to realize how little puts Diana in a real mode of conflict. The surround sound sure enough shakes your seat, but the male villain she confronts belongs in Marvel's long index of forgetful final bosses.

Should this define 21st century feminism? Should we celebrate making women feel empowered by blaming their problems on men? Wonder Woman focuses on painting women as the only true saints in the world, whilst all the men cause the world's problems. Ever heard of Aileen Wuornos? Whose biopic starring Charlize Theron was also directed by Patty Jenkins? Was she not responsible for all sorts of problems? Men are not the sole blame for chaos, pride is; which everyone who has ever lived and ever will live falls short of.",4

"Review: As I'm not a massive racing car fan, I wasn't over-excited about this movie, but the cast was impressive and the story was intriguing. The director portrayed the 60's period well, and the cars were amazing, but the whole racing car theme became a bit tedious after a while. All of the technical jargon went straight over my head, but the attention to detail, in terms of the cars and the tracks, was on point. The acting from Christian Bale (Ken Miles) and Matt Damon (Carroll Shelby) seemed average in my eyes, mainly because I didn't know the real-life characters that they were portraying, so I didn't know how accurate it was. With that aside, the chemistry between the characters was great, and there were some scenes, which didn't have anything to do with racing, which was enjoyable, but the main core of the movie seemed a bit too safe to me. There weren't any standout moments that stood out, and I wasn't left feeling that I wanted to find out more about the characters. I know that the' race is an important part of American history that will always be remembered, but I personally lost interest once Carroll and Ken joined forces. I did feel the intensity during the races, which made me stick with the two and a half hour movie, and I did find the ending quite shocking, but it's not the type of movie that I will be watching again. That's not to say that it's a bad film because it does exactly what it says on the tin, but it's just not my cup of tea. Average!

Round-Up: This movie was directed by James Mangold, who also brought you Heavy in 1995, Copland, Girl Interrupted, Kate & Leopold, Identity, Walk The Line, 3:10 to Yuma, Knight & Day, The Wolverine and Logan. He's due to direct 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea: Captain Nemo and the new Indiana Jones project, but with the Coronavirus in our midst, no one really knows what's going to happen to the upcoming projects that are in pre-production. Judging by his filmography, he has made some impressive movies to date, and with this movie going down well with critics worldwide, the only way is up for this established director. The only reason why I wasn't that impressed with this film was because of the subject matter, but it's well made and the box office takings prove that it was enjoyed by many.

Budget: $97.6million Worldwide Gross: $225.5million

Genre: Action, Biography, Drama, Sport Cast: Matt Damon, Christian Bale, Jon Bernthal, Caitriona Balfe, Josh Lucas, Noah Jupe, Tracy Letts, Remo Girone, Ray McKinnon, JJ Feild and Jack McMullen. 5/10",5
"6 stars? 7 stars? Because of a great timing of the jokes, most of the jokes landed nicely. That's worth 7 stars, but the entire movie was lacking a bit in spark and punch. Therefore only 6 stars.

The story: It's a lighthearted mystery comedy. Who killed the wealthy father?

Jennifer Anniston and Adam Sandler can still charm me, although this comedy is not a riot, filled with laughter, it's more a family friendly comedy, which nobody will get offended by, but it is also a comedy nobody will get really excited about. Reasonably funny, but forgettable...",6
"Kate Winslet is a great actress, however I don't think she is the right actress for the part. Other reviewers have compared her role to Linden from The Killing. I agree and feel the role should have been played by a lesser known actress. She distracts from the story and is irritating.

I have made it through Episode 1 & half of episode 2. Too many stories about people in the town that don't matter. I was hoping for a murder mystery and a little personal drama. Just the opposite. Too much nonsense drama and little to no crime story. The priest. I'm going to continue for the whodunit. The priest.",6
Once again this is a movie for children. There is absolutely no carnage at all in this movie. Cannot believe this got made. Once again nothing really happens in this movie. Find it very boring. More of the same from the originals movie.,4
"I was in such a trepidation about what this is about that I actually read the book by the same name first! Newt Scamander didn't come across to me as the daredevil he was cast as in the movie in that book but it is a compelling tale nevertheless. There are the same old themes of racism and the 'greater good'. You hear something about Dumbledore and Grindelwald, and your hopes rise. I would say this film doesn't disappoint. Newt's character is cast spot on, and the other cast members gel well too. The special effects are amazing, and the magical creatures are breathtaking.

Overall, a cozy story in a slightly olden period of the wizarding world.",7
"It starts as regular murder mystery: a dead body, lots of potential killers. The twist here is how every person involved is also part of the lead investigator's life, which is enough of a mess before considering the investigator own emotional mess.

The story if full of things to learn and remember, plot twists and whatnot, but unfortunately it's impossible to tell who the killer is because the details needed are hidden until the very end.

So, it's not really a murder mystery: is a story about people doing realistically bad things and having to deal with it. It's all nice and dandy except there's a few side stories that are totally unneeded, both as a pieces of the puzzles or part of the protagonist's inner voyage (especially her lesbian daughter's relationships), which can be literally skipped without losing anything. Kind of annoying when the characters really involved with the crime(s) are given very little screentime.

Other than that, the story is not too over the top except from one person solving everything alone, while being involved with all the suspects, which I'm not sure could really happen in real life.

On the technical side, Kate Winslet gives one of her best performances, and the rest of the cast is good enough not to be eclipsed by her.

The cinematography and the details felt very movie-like, I mean, in a good way.

The pacing suffered from the useless side stories mentioned above, but overall is good, with many moving moments and, unfortunately, just a single scene which was really thrilling.",7
"It's been all downhill after the first season. It didn't get better this season. The editing in this season is at a all time low.

This is so poorly put together you wonder if you somehow fell asleep and missed something. There were several times a scene takes place and you don't know if it's a dream or real. Then you find out it's real and wonder what the hell is going on and how the charters even got there.

Then there are scenes where the charters were working toward a goal, they reach said goal but don't follow through. It would be like going to the grocery store just to buy milk. You go to the store, walk up to the milk, look at the milk then turn around and go home. It makes no sense.

The cast is good. Well, Ciri and Geralt are good. The rest are just doing the best they can with the hand they were given.

I didn't like what they did with Jaskier. He looked like crap and his charter seemed awkwardly weird. He was a fun likable charter and now he's like a back ally creeper.

The scene with Jaskier and Ciri is so far the best in the season.

This season was not worth renewing a subscription for. I don't think part two will be any better.",1
"Its good enough for a one time watch but its not that great. Too many characters make it look crowded. The story seems clichéd and Captain Americas roles seems prejudiced. Robert Downey Jr is great as usual, Evans also does justice to his role too. Rest of the characters like spidy, ant man, hawk eye appear for one fight scene which was shown in the trailers. Action scenes are well directed which has become a hallmark for Marvel. The movie over all despite its aww and pomph movie lacks the usual Marvel punch. The ending of the movie is very emotional and creates an upset in the Avengers story line. We will see how they follow up this plot twist in the coming infinity wars series. Don't set your bar too high if you want to enjoy the movie.",7
So much like The Happening. There was no rhyme or reason for the plot of the film. And the ending was...well the ending was terrible.,3
"I had colossal expectations for this movie. That was a bad mistake. I expected to relive ""The Dark Knight"" moment. A perfect sequel. I expected Mickey Rourke to give a performance worthy of Heath Ledgers Joker and I hoped for a deep and intriguing story. Alas none of my hopes and dreams came true. But it was still a pretty good movie.

No need to waste words on the visuals. They are everything you expect them to be in a modern Marvel movie - marvelous.

The acting is pretty solid. Robert Downey Jr. was cool, funny, egocentric and everything you expect Tony Stark to be. I though I would miss Terrence Howard but Don Cheadle did a good job as a recast Rhodes. I was a little disappointed at Rourke, he did a pretty swell job but still it was not one of his best performances. Maybe I got that impression because of the lack of depth the writers gave the character, or maybe the very little dialog he had.

The action was nice and entertaining and as its predecessor it had a few very funny moments nicely and delicately put in place. Also there was a few details that made the whole experience a little more special like Don Cheadles opening line that went something like ""It's me, I'm here, get used to it."", and can be understood as a response to the recast from Terrence Howard.

All in all it's a very entertaining and visually beautiful movie, but it falls a little short from Iron Man (2008). The story maybe has the depth but the presentation of it felt a little rushed. It also felt like the movie should be at least 20 minutes longer or so. Also the soundtrack hasn't got the power of the first movie.

If you love Marvel you will probably like this movie. If you like action you will probably like this movie. If you liked Iron Man from 2008 you will probably like this movie. And if you see Iron Man 2 levelheaded and not bearing sky high expectations you will probably love this movie.",7
"Writer's egos killed this show. You have great source material and an incredible lead actor to work with. You have the easiest job in the entire world and you somehow screw it up.

I have zero connection to any of the heroes and couldn't care less about them, especially the Muman Rider whose concept is plain dumb.

Terrific acting performances by everyone, and those who saw the gigantic hit Dangal wouldn't be too surprised by the stunning performance by the young newcomer Zaira Wasim! Also an amazing performance by the actress who played her mother. And of course, the ever so powerful Mr. Aamir Khan plays an eccentric, sort of creepy but hilarious character which is the complete opposite of his last outing. The way he disappears into each and every one of his characters is beyond greatness. The film has it all- it's really emotional (I'm not Indian so maybe I'm not used to emotionally strong films but this one really had me crying...), it's entertaining, funny, and just not even a single part of the film dragged. Wonderful gem of a film! Must watch!",10

Looking at the fact that, it was rated better than The Greatest Showman, I decided to give it a try. I thoroughly enjoyed TGS so maybe I went into watching this one with too many expectations, but this one was...merh.

The story was just too plain. I feel like it could've been cut down to one and a half hours and still be okay. Unlike TGS, only one song in this one pulled me in and that was the one Ryan Gosling whistled. Ryan and Emma both are great actors. It just feels that the production didn't give them much to work. It took me two days to finish watching the full movie.

I'm still dazzled that this movie is rated so highly and bagged 6 oscars. The Greatest Showman is far better and has a plot good enough to not make you want to sleep.",2

"A movie, that is so critical on the power structures it criticises, that it most likely won't get much attention, even with such an amazing ensemble cast! This movie takes place during WWI and the lead up to WWII but the shocking truth is, that it seems as accurate as ever.

Sure, this is a bag full of facts, mixed in with a bit of fiction and satire and therefore becomes hard to deceiver what actually is truth and what isn't, a struggle we are facing every day. This movie MIGHT frustrate you at times and yes, it is a little bit too long, but so is war, it's lead up to it and its arrangements.

Let this movie sink in, do some research and enjoy the long ride!",7
"Five episodes in I thought well done. Past that, moronic, stupid, idiotic. We should be used to it.",4
"Jojo Rabbit is summed nicely in a single word, which is ""divisive."" The first hour is an uncomfortable cringe-fest, asking the audience to self-assess the reasons why cinema even exists as an art form. Some natural questions arise, such as whether Jojo Rabbit really was based on a book (it was), whether it is appropriate to portray Adolf Hitler as a bumbling stooge with separation issues (not sure, but the first hour had me leaning toward a ""hell, no""), and whether we'll be able to see Alfie Allen in anything after Game of Thrones and not think of sausages (probably not).

The first hour is a bit of torture, thankfully saved by the second hour, which turns the movie into something at least enjoyable. Taika Waititi gets to gobble up some scenery with some truly funny lines, but the best performances come from an amazingly daft Rebel Wilson as some kind of Nazi staffer Fraulein Rahm who likes guns and war far too much, and even better is an incredibly goofy Archie Yates as Yorki, who appears at all the right moments to deliver several good laughs.

This, then, is the divisive point: would it not have been a better movie if it had been Yorki Rabbit, or at least investigate the concept of Yorki and Rahm.",6
"I was expecting a gradual unfolding of the story into the marvel universe but the first 2 episodes show nothing more than a bad remake of 1945s ""Bewitched"".",1
"This movie makes All About Steve look like a ""Best Picture """,3
"Other than the usual that Netflix throws at you, this is a real gripper. Well made, sensible to understand the travails and trepidation leading to a crescendo at climax. Nice package and delightful to spend time watching.",8
"What is the point of the multiverse if not only to be able to continue making movies of the same storylines?

If one movie can nullify another, why should one see any of these movies and not wait until they promise it is the final one?

Stopped watching after about 45 min so it may have gotten better after that. I have only stopped seeing a movie maybe 3 or 4 times so this movie is exceptionally unwatchable.

The sad part is that I used to really like the MCU. The multiverse seemed like a bit of stretch but up until this movie it felt OK, even if I never liked the concept. This movie killed the enchanting MCU for me.",2
"This is an American TV sketch comedy show created by MadTV alumni, Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele. As with most of this genre, each skit is a bit hit and miss. There are a few that is hilarious although I probably laughed more with MadTV. A couple has even reached cultural pinnacle of the moment. There is something insightful and imaginative with Obama's anger interpreter. It's a show of a moment in US history. It is a show which announces the arrival of two important voices. It's a show of cultural importance. It's a smart show that makes you think. It doesn't hurt that it's good and these guys seem like the best of friends.",7
"Good story and compelling enough to watch all the way through, but just barely. Had the series been 4 to 5 episodes shorter it would be 8 or 9 stars, but it simply dragged on unnecessarily long.",5
"Great movie and the saddest movie in the Harry Potter series. The story of the movie was amazing. It clearly outperformed the rest of the parts. Acting in the movie was excellent. The action scenes were few, but they were amazing. I was getting a little bored while watching the movie. I know it's a prequel to the next movie, but if it was shorter, it would be so much better, my rating for the movie is 8.5.",9
"This show has been wonderful or should I say, ""wandaful""!?

In two episodes so far but it's a pleasure to watch both the main and side characters bring classic pure humor back so well! Thank whomever is making this kind approach to entertainment.

The switch from drab that saturated the screen for long enough is refreshing. I love Agnes and her neighborly adages as well as the neighborly characters at the workplace with Vision. So far I want to share this show with others and have actually laughed genuinely at liners that come together well in this setting. The mystery of reality lurking in the show so far is intriguing and I can see how one just follows the scenes for surprises. Great acting here!",9
"Oh boy, utter weirdness and strange accents! What a wonderful movie what will make, eh? But wait, I've sat through it all and been amazed for not one bit of it interested me! You have zany characters, but no real characterization, evil crimes with oafish silly villains, and a plot which is just about nothing. Oh, and some gruesomeness with a wood chipper.

The only thing that saves this from getting a straight one is that I feel those behind it were trying to be original. Sadly, that doesn't mean they did a good job.",2
"It's a whimsical fantasy comedy. Movie plays out like a videogame. Lots of weird action scenes that seem a birt arty farty and not really befitting of a supposedly prime time movie I am afraid . It has no gravitas. The comedy is quite childish as it were aimed at teenagers. It has a faux serious storyline that doesn't seem very profound. Lots of slapstick comedy like you would find on a light early evening tv comedy series. However, forsome reason it seems to have garnered a lot of critical acclaim and won may prizes. I am amazed. Seems very strange. Don't know how it won the oscar for best film!",3
Finally decided to see what the fuss was so I rented JW 1 and then forced myself to see 2. The dialog- what dialog? Though there was that one line about going to Red Robins when JW was killed (product placement?). Point for the choreography in the fight scenes. Best thing about renting it I can fast forward through the most of it and not really miss much as it's all fight scenes.,2
"The DVD case calls this a ""darkly amusing thriller."" I take issue with both amusing and thriller. It was not amusing, and there were no thrills. Apparently a true story (or was that a lie too???), which may explain countless unexplained plot lines. Characters appear, do something, then disappear again without a hint of explanation. There was absolutely no tension at all, and you don't particularly care about any of the characters apart from maybe the pregnant ""coffee-drinking, parka-wearing - and extremely pregnant - investigator."" Although her investigation skills weren't particularly impressive either.

And what was with the germanesque ""ya"" ing. Surely Americans don't actually speak like that.",5
"Okay i literally can't understand why people hate this movie . Its a fantastic movie seriously . Yeah its slow but not boring . Whenever i watched harry potter i fell for the energy that movie series had which is quite missing in this series ofcourse but it doesn't mean its not worth watching . You will watch some amazing acting in it , really actors have done a great job , locations and special effects are really amazing and story , i can say its the strongest part of fantastic beasts . Its true that this is not harry potter and its good actually , no matter how amazing harry potter is we can't ignore the fact that it was a one dimension story . Makers , writer were handling one thing at a time but in this prequal makers are taking risk to show different places and time in a movie which gives a positive impact on audience for makers and specially writer. Be honest i didn't liked the FB 1 but this second part is amazing . Definitely worth watching .",7
"The second season turns them into an over-emotionalized Punch and Judy show on coke!

Unfortunately I was forced to watch with these nonsense, in the second season even the flattest action idea is not too bad to be lined up bit by bit.

The CGI, which is really very good, unfortunately can't save the unimaginativeness of the authors in this season.

By the year 2020 Netflix won't get any more money from me, partly because more and more series and movies are being made available in languages that I'm not wide enough to learn for Netflix's sake.",1
"On paper, it's a great script, but it fails miserably in its execution.",2
"Netflix has done it again, I remember Henry Cavill stating that he was in for the 7-seasons if the writers did a good job telling the stories of The Witcher and keeping true to the source material.

Well, now Cavill has had enough with the untalented writing team that seemingly has no idea what they're doing. With writers that are outspoken about hating the source material and laughing the fanbase off.

I really like the books and the games have been dear to me since their release. So where are we, we now (again) stand with a Netflix-produced pile of garbage with a somewhat angry but most importantly letdown fanbase.

In my mind, Netflix has been ruining the good works of others and has to fail as a company for us to be better off.",4
This series is one of the most overrated Netflix series,5
This show really catches the viewers mind to think more about itself due to its amazing storylines and well made action sequences one of the best made by netflix.,8
"DR. SMITH RUINED THE WHOLE THING. I hate the snakey, 2 faced movements from her!! If she wasn't in this series it would have been gold. Visuals and special effects are amazing and the story isn't too bad. It's a shame 1 character ruins the whole experience for me.",2
"The acting is good and the story is okay but I'm not a big fan of this movie. Everything is laid out too precisely; everything is made to fit. All the details are handed to the viewer; it's too easy. I never felt I had to think about anything. Some people may like that but I don't.

I enjoy movies that challenge me; that engage my mind in some way. To understand, follow, and appreciate them, the viewer has to think. I didn't get that with this movie. I also couldn't relate to any of the characters; they felt flat and one-dimensional. As a result, I didn't feel invested. I simply did not care about them or their outcomes.

Really, I'm not trying to bash the movie. I just felt it was too basic, too simplistic for my taste. This stripped down style of storytelling seems to be used often by Wes Anderson. I hadn't realized it but I've seen quite a few of his films. I don't remember them all but the most recent I've seen, Moonrise Kingdom and Darjeeling Limited, have a very similar feel as TGBH. In fact, that's how I realized they were related.",4
"Did the makers of this just watch LOTR and think ""ok its been a few years since that was made. Let's just nick most of the films' imagery and then make this toilet show""?

Orlando...I mean Henry Cavill is so out of place in this, with his Batman voice and giant sword. He looks and sounds ridiculous.

Couldn't make it past the first couple of episodes.",1
"Special effects, weak characters and a poor plot string this fail of a movie together",5
I was really looking forward to this after all the hype. Sad to say it was terrible. Really couldn't care about Sandler's character.,2
"And indeed it is. The first Iron Man came like lighting from a clear blue sky, a movie that started Robert Downey Jr's career, movie loved by audience and critics. Now there is a sequel and people are asking if it's worth it. And I say Hell Yeah.

Now when the whole world knows who Iron Man is, Tony is having a hard time staying alive. There are two men coming after him, a Russian Ivan Vanko who has an unfinished business with Tony. He claims that he stole the idea for the arc reactor from his father (which of course isn't entirely true, he is a Russian, you can't believe those.) The second guy after him is actually a competitor in business, Justin Hammer, who, for years is trying to build a suit like Iron Man's but with horrible results. Now with the government wanting Tony's Iron Man suit and Stark Industries closed for business, he has a chance to become the leading weapons industry.

The acting and the cast here are truly remarkable. Robert Downey Jr. is, well he is Robert Downey Jr. He is perfect as usual, you can't miss with him being cast in your movie. Gwyneth Paltrow does a great job being the love interest. Mickey Rourke doesn't have much time on screen but when he is you can see he enjoys the role and still tries to establish the character even with such limited screen time. Sam Rockwell is the comical villain and he is great at it. Samuel L. Jackson is a synonym of the word cool and he proves it once again as Nick Fury. He briefly appears but when he does he's got one of the best lines in the movie such as ""Sir, I'm gonna have to ask you to exit the donut."" or "" I am very real. I'm the realest person you're ever gonna meet"". The weakest link in the chain is Don Cheadle. He horribly doesn't fit as James Rhodes. He is uninteresting, and he acts too serious for this role. This is supposed to be entertaining, fun movie. And when he has no idea what to do, he copies Terrence Howard's take on this character. His character changed from the best friend ever to the worst friend. He became arrogant too. He actually thinks he is better than Iron Man!! But that of course isn't true. As always there is a great little cameo by Stan Lee. I can't forget all the rush on the internet Olivia Munn being a superhero and then she had just a tiny cameo as a news reporter. I was chuckling in the theater and no one had idea why.

Casting Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow was the smartest idea anyone ever had. She is the sexiest woman on Earth and seeing her in a tight leather suit is worth all the money on Earth. Her only fight scene in the hallway with like a dozen guards is amazing. It is one of the best choreographed fights of this year. It is just purely awesome, sexy, full of adrenaline and even funny.

I just feel like all those composers started to try again after last year's (almost) fiasco. OK, there were few exceptions, the Star Trek soundtrack, Up soundtrack and the Sherlock Holmes soundtrack. In this year there is more than just three great soundtracks and Iron Man 2 is one of them. The score is darker and more bad-ass. Three tracks that really stand out: the first track (Ivan's Metamorphosis), Monaco Drive with this heavy James Bond feel and the track titled Black Widow Kicks Ass. Soundtrack as such features songs from AC/DC, Queen and even Daft Punk.

There are more action scenes in this one than in the first movie. The action scenes are much better, they are fast paced, bad ass, simply better. There is even one car chase scene.

In summary, if you liked the first then I guarantee you that you will enjoy this one too, it's a must-see for any fan of Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Iron Man or a comic-books. (There are tons of comic-book references including the Avengers, Hulk and it's just great fun looking for them.) This is a great, entertaining summer movie so go and watch it.

Definitely wait until the end of the credits there is a great extra scene and you find out what agent Coulson was doing in New Mexico.",10
"Matt Murdock as a child was blinded by a toxic spill from a crash. He becomes a lawyer fighting for the little guys. In secret, he develops his other senses and becomes the vigilant Daredevil of Hell's Kitchen. Foggy Nelson is his law partner. They defend Karen Page in the first episode and she becomes their office manager. Later, she becomes a journalist. Their main nemesis is master criminal Wilson Fisk known as Kingpin.

It's the first of the Netflix Marvel universe. It's also the best of them. It's a moderately budgeted series geared towards more adult stories. The characters are compelling. The actors really work. It maintains the cartoon action while giving some real world tension to the stories. The first season sets up this pocket universe with a great tone and great start. The second season fades a little. The thirteen episode runs may be a little too long. The third season returns to form as Vincent D'Onofrio takes back the mantle as the head villain. It is as much his story as it is Matt Murdock's story. It does dwell on Dex a little too much as it tries to set up his character. In the end, Dex and Nadeem are not much more than one season wonders and they aren't a draw for the audience. Dex would become another big Daredevil character but the show is canceled before that. With Disney-Marvel starting up its own streaming service, the partnership with Netflix ends after three seasons. It's been a really fun side hustle and this is the best of the them.",9
It's a good show I have found a newer respect for Anthony mackie as an actor as before I found him fairly irritating. He's better in this although still not a favorite of mine i think wyatt Russell is doing a great job as US agent(captain america) the last episode had a great ending all in all not as good as wandavision but still decent.,1
"Major disappointment! Weak Story. Lack of events. Childish.

The whole movie happened because the stupid couple left the KEYs of the most devilish room on their desk like it's any other key!!! And a teenager just easily found it and took it. SAD.

Worst sequel of all of them.",4
"It's fantasy, and not meant to be sophisticated or thought provoking. I simply expected a fun film with empathetic protagonists.

The plot was just average, the visuals were enjoyable, but I couldn't shake off so many moments throughout the film of toxic male chauvinism. Though the females fight, and at times you see the males looking to check that their partner approves of their decision, the male chauvinism in this film is hardcore; the males lead the tribes, the males are the only ones to speak on behalf of tribe and family, the males are the only ones to show any authority in the family or discipline the kids, and the only ones to come up with plans and strategies...seriously?!

This is not the film's only flaw, but to me it colored the whole watching experience; as a woman, it really alienated me and prevented me from enjoying the movie as much as I could have.",4
"While in the first season there are some minor plot twists and character introductions done a little bit too quick, season 2 absolutely lives up to the atmosphere and flair of both the books and the computer games. It is dark, cruel, creepy and mystical but also immersive and driven by a really well written and dramaturgically stunningly presented storyline. Also the actors are good or sometimes even excellent. You have to concentrate on what is happening from time to time, this is no easy watching all the time (what I love about it, facing the global trend towards super hero action stories of the ""lower"" kind), but its very, very rewarding in the end with a striking season final. Absolute recommendation if youre into fantasy, horror or magic and mystery.",9
"First thought this movie was like MASS EFFECT like game series i play several years ago in steam. but nayy~ I wish this kids had some wars during their time lost in space action , but only normal action running , talking , solve mysteries , eat , smile , shocked , love , nayy nay nayyy~ like that.. i dont feel any message in the story , basically just simple write movie with low budget stories... seriously i could said , this title could be like GoT series or any high end movie has been made.. if the movie had no WAR,SADNESS,KILL ACTION,SPACE HUNTER,BOOM BOOM BOOM ... consider it below 4 stars movie even you had put good graphics arts there. nayyy",4
"I watched this movie with my husband, he kept asking me what's this movie about? literally every 15 minutes, I had hopes for it at some point, the ending was so disappointing and made no sense at all. Save your time, watch something else, some advice... try knives out, it's a great comedy, definitely wouldn't leave you feeling like ""what the hell did I just watch?!",2
"I don't know what went wrong with the HBO TV Drama makers. This one is exactly like their ""The True Detective"". In order to build up some atmosphere of this kind murder genre mysteries, guys who shot the ""Outsider"" did the same thing like ""The True Detective"", overly cooked up the cinematography with dark filters to emphasize the dreary, mysterious on-going of the storyline, everything looked just so dark, so dim, so pretentiously and purposefully to give the audiences a very unnatural and absolutely unnecessary scene after scene in dark, shadowy, suffocating, dimmed light, even they were outside scenes. It seems that nobody in this drama series could afford the electricity bills, so everybody's home was so dark, almost no light, about 2/3 of the whole screen of every scene was so dark, in deep shadow. I sometimes even thought that I should turn on a flashlight to see the scenes on the screen.

In order to hang on to the ""mystery"" genre, a rigid background rendered by Steven King, the hooded figure with dark face just so unnaturally showed up in every killing scene, even outside of the house when the father hanged himself, that hooded figure always hanging around. To me, it's just so over-the-top pretentious and unnatural; although to Steven King, it's ""Super Natural"", the core of his every novel and story. And, sorry, I'm not a fan of this mold of crap.",3

"A must muxh for filmmakers, alot to learn. Cinematography,lighting composition, and line delivery.",10
The visual effects are groundbreaking and they are fononamal but... it feels soulless compared to the original. All the humor was removed it makes it feel dull and bland. I've always loved the original one because of the humor and emotions and this movie lacks all of it. Also there is way to much spotlight on Beyoncé/nala. And trust me I like Beyoncé and I like her music but she was just way to over rated in this movie.,2
"The ending that I was thinking that's it. Weird camera kept moving all scenes. It's alright, I guess? It kind of the worst film ever!",4
"I usually don't write reviews, but this time I felt the urge to warn fellow TV watchers not to waste their time. And believe me, slow- paced psychological shows are my thing. But this is just trash. This is a weird mix between Dawson's Creek and Twilight. Everything is so awful I don't even know where to start.

#Every character is bi-dimensional: No depth in sight. They all look like perfect puppets with emotion A and emotion B triggered for past and present story arc. And I'm not talking about acting. The kids do their fair job. It's the script that's shallow.

#Dialogues make no sense: Every character is a witty smart-pants, always with the most clever thing to say. Sometimes they start talking out of nowhere when 2 seconds earlier they hated each other. Not believable for even a second. #Relations between characters are like in a sit-com: related to the point before. That's not how people interact with each other.

#Useless, meaningless suspense: All the kids playing it all mysterious and cool. Really? Do teens do that at school? And given it's fiction: what for? Just a failed and dumb attempt to add some suspense.

# Hannah's recording reminds me of a romantic comedy rather than a suicide-based thriller: she doesn't sound a girl who's going to take her life at all. She's all calm and rational. Not really the mood of a person about to commit suicide. Let alone the fact that makes the story -if it wasn't already enough- less believable.

#It' so boring: Almost nothing happens in 50 minutes. You always feel like the thing is gonna start sometimes, but it never does. And what takes Clay so long to play the cassette? Just the mediocre writers could tell you that, because I don't' think that's how a normal people behave.

#The cassettes' master-plan is dumb: settled that this show lacks everything that makes a show watchable, I must add that the engine that starts everything is just a dumb idea. It's not nearly close to what a troubled teen would do, and itself is just an intricate and unnecessary evil plan just to keep the story going.

I really can't believe people are giving this this high rating. The only explanation is they never watched a movie before. Or never seen a person in real life for that matter.

Huge waste of time. I can't believe I spent one entire evening watching this.",2
"Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint star in the engrossing movie version of J. K. Rowling's well-loved book series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1. The movie immerses audiences in a frightening and gloomy wizarding world where Harry, Ron, and Hermione set out on a risky mission to foil Voldemort's evil schemes. The story examines friendship, selflessness, and the difficulties of right and wrong. Filmmaker David Yates gives the picture a moody, gloomy feel while expertly preserving the spirit of the original work. The action moves at a breakneck speed, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats as the group overcomes obstacles and solves the Deathly Hallows' mysteries. Part 1 is an emotionally charged introduction that sets the tone for the spectacular finale.",7
"I really, really was trying to like this show. I like Mads Mikkelsens visage but everything except that was just bad. Bad acting from all, like high school theater, pretentious, pathetic, bland, empty, emotionless, would-be intellectual gibberish. Feels so ""TVshowieusly"" i would cry. 1/10 for MM.",1
"Maybe I was in a bad mood, but I just couldn't help thinking that they went a bit overboard on the CHEESE. Can I have ONE film without a lame love-interest blah blah blah blah blah.

Also annoying: continually cutting to useless shots of the big, beaded black dude and the cross-dressing couple in the rowboat.

Depp of course was nifty.",5
"Went in to see this film this afternoon and had high hopes. After an hour in I realised that I nearly nodded off twice as the music score playing over the beginning quarter of the film was sleep inducing to say the least. It didn't help that not one of the characters was engaging in anyway possible, especially Matthew McConaughey's drawling southern accent.

It seem to take an age for anything to happen in the film, and finally when there was some movement, director Nolan slows everything back down to a snail's pace.

I'm not saying the film was ridiculous as it is purely science fiction which I normally enjoy, but this was a challenge for me to stay till the end of the film ,-( two gents in the theatre walked out just over an hour in and never came back), I unfortunately didn't have the hindsight to do the same, otherwise I would have got over three hours of my life back to watch two good films.

When the film is released on DVD/BR, I hope they have a cut that last's about 1hour and 20m which should make it an entertaining film without the huge unnecessary spongy filling.",3
"After watching the movie I felt too much emotional, we need just one movie like this in entire year. I never expected this from kannada industry, every shot at higher standards and excellent Direction. Kudos to Director and team i Can't Believe this. I am Fully Satisfied.",10
"Review season 4 I still have a lot to say. There are almost no downsides to this series. Let me start with the fact that the characters are all fantastic and Eddie in particular is a really great addition to the cast. I think his character arc is phenomenal. I can say something positive about everyone. I'm watching this season for the 4th time now and it's still very good. In fact, now that I watch it for the 2nd time, I notice more and more details. What I also really like about the series is that everyone can compare themselves to a character. Furthermore, this is a bit of the season with the denouement of all your questions. The special effects look very good. What I actually like the most in terms of story is that this season really brings you back to the first season. This season also brings back several characters from seasons 1 and 2. I still have to say it, but argyle and murry are the funniest characters in the series. Almost everything they say is so funny! I laughed incredibly hard several times. I think that's really cool anyway if you don't just have to laugh in a series, but also cry and watch enthusiastically. I think that all emotions pass by at some point and that is really something that is great! Yes, I really shed some tears at the end of season 4. I really can't wait for the 5th season. Unfortunately that will take a while... I must also say that this feels a bit like a comfort series. This is truly something I could watch for hours. It never gets annoying. If you haven't seen it yet, what are you waiting for? Now fire up Netflix and go watch it.

Season 4: 10/10.

Review season 3 I always thought this was kind of the most unique season of stranger things. And I certainly mean that in a good way. This is the 2nd time I've watched this season now and for some reason I thought a lot of the same thing happened and not that much anyway. I've now seen it again and I found out that actually every episode is very unique. There is of course a Russian event in this season which I will not spoil but I thought that was a very nice part. And as with everything from stranger things, there are also a lot of pieces that really put a smile on my face. This season is also very funny thanks to Murray. I'm not going to give too much away, but there is also a kind of terminator character in the series and I would have liked to see a bit more of him. Because you actually know almost nothing about him and I think that's a bit of a shame. It actually kind of feels like he's there to push the story along a bit and that was it. But that's actually my biggest flaw. Other than that, this is another very good season. They sometimes say that opinions change and that is certainly true with me. I had first given an 8.5 this season, while I will certainly bet a bit higher now. I also cried really hard at the end and I think most will too.

Season 3: 9.5.",9

"I have nothing but praise for the smartest, coolest, most innovative show out there! 24 is a thrill ride that never slows down! It's easily #1, none can come even close for me ever! Agent Jack Bauer works for CTU (Counter Terrorist Unit) dealing with (terrorists) assassination attempts, nuclear attacks, bio-terrorism, torture, traitors, sleeper cells, other bad guys in 24 hours (hence the name, 24). Each episode is an hour in the show (about 40 minutes for us without commercials) with 24 episodes, each season covering an non- consecutive day in Bauer's life. CTU helps stop the attacks with amazing agents, who routinely risk their lives to save the lives of others. More than one story goes on in the 24 hours though and we usually see people in charge, (for example the White House) deal with the attacks and internal issues as well as the terrorists or civilians etc. This is a show everyone should watch because they will love it. This show has cliffhangers at the end of every episode and is very easy to binge watch and watch many episodes in one sitting.

"Scares for scares sake. No strong and coherent storyline, unlike the earlier ones, which though not cinematic brilliance were at least made with some thought, good characters and decent acting. This one is like 3rd grade teen flick. Came out feeling cold and unmoved. Not a single redeeming scene. Wouldn't even recommend as a 1 time watch. Very sad to see this is a 'tribute' to Lorraine. She must be turning in her grave.",2
"Not one for witches, vampires or scary programs of any sort I stumbled across this. It's brilliant and totally addictive. Matthew Goode is hypnotic as an ice cold 1500 yr old vampire. A young witch who has denied her powers innocently asks for a library book... to quote a well know Mummy film, ""No harm ever came from reading a book"", well we all know what happened next. Similar thing here. Intertwined with a bit of a Romeo and Juliette ( albeit Romeo is a vampire and Juliette is a witch), you just can't help willing them to love each other. Witches killing witches and blaming everyone else, vampires in fighting and demons..... yes episode 6 and we still need to understand the role of the demon. Fabulous Sky One drama .... love it. I'm totally hooked, I might even watch Twighlight now, maybe not, Mathew Goode isn't in it!!!",10
"The last few years have had some stinker wannabe ""mystery"" films, especially the recent rehashes of the Hercule Poirot detective tales Murder On the Orient Express and Death On the Nile. The forer was ok, but the latter sucked so hard it was pathetic.

And then theres Knives Out...oof. This was one of the most convoluted movies i have seen in the last decade. It was almost as if the writer had watched too many films by Wes Anderson while on hard drugs and thought he could up the nuanced plot and tone down the comedy. Well great job, you succeeded in making a watered down Wes Anderson story that was barely a passable modern take on Clue. Which was alluded to if not mentioend early in the movie in passing reference.

Watch with a stiff drink or not at all. Because its even worse when a British actor tries to do an American accent, and boy...did they choose terribly with the pained old face of Daniel Craig sounding like a cross between Fog Horn LEghorn and Colonel Sanders. Not as bad as hearing TOm Hardy whisper his bad American accent in the Venom films, but close. If not for the huge cast of well known actors, this would get a lower rating. BUt as it stands, it warrants only a 5 out of 10.",5
"This gets two stars because the idea is clever, but the holes in this plot due to extremely lazy screen writing mean that's already generous. I imagine the deadline was about one weekend, otherwise there is no explanation for this.",2
Nothing impressive like Mirzapur and Paatallok and special Ops,2
Starts a little slow but builds all of the way to the finale. Great show.,9
"The series is really excilent and mainly focus on what actual things that happens in small rural villages. For instance gender equality, cast discrimination and all. We all know that this series is directed by TVF and they always do their job from their heart. Panchayat is streaming on Prime Video. Series of Prime Video like Mirzapur shows dark sides of rural India but this series politely shows that how and actually what happen in rural villages. One can connect this story to themselves who lives or seen rural villages.",8
"Anyone who loves either the books or game will be severely disappointed after season 1. The show disregards a wealth of rich lore and amazing story arcs, focusing instead on their own take. It is simply a slap in the face for a large fan base who had warned against it after season 2s downward spiral. Season 3 can only be described as a travesty and mockery of devout fans, Cavil did his best and maintained his superb Geralt though the script destroyed any hope of a positive farewell. Bola and Lauren ruined a fantastic opportunity and I can only pray another streaming or production service retry's the Witcher with Henry in a complete reboot disregarding the failure Netflix has spewed into the world.",2
Simply the greatest movie of all time! Perfect sequel and completely necessary! Icons being icons.,10
"I have no idea why this rates so highly. The whole premise is completely unrealistic. Its an OK prison film, but even Escape from Alcatraz is much better.",4
"Only thing wrong with Hannibal is that it ended much too soon. Have read that some want to bring the series back. Please do! I have just begun re-watching the series on DVD. To me, Mads Mikkelsen performs Hannibal with a style and charisma never before seen. All of the cast and crew did especially beautiful work.",10
"This is about as good as it gets for the comic-book-to-movie genre. The fights scenes are incredibly rad, and the character development/love story is way above average. Raimi rules - he definitely gives the action a comic-book feel, but without requiring you to suspend disbelief too much. Doc Ock's mechanical arms are awesome and fit the action impressively for cgi.

The way Spidey gets beat to hell reminds me why I always liked him tons better than too-perfect characters like Superman - he's not invincible.

Ready for part III now. And JJJ steals the show. Awesome casting.",8
"This is a Sunday night movie to watch with either the boys or a significant other and enjoy a crazy action packed movie. Micheal bay is clearly written all over this movie and his action sequences are on steroids! Although it's hard to agree with some of the choices in the movie, it's still fun to watch. Expect to laugh, cringe at some death scenes, and say wtf a lot.

Ps this might have one of the craziest car chases I ever seen in a movie.",6
Terrible story. Ok music. Voices not great. Waste of time.,2
"What a movie. Completely masterpiece. Don't believe on paid critics and reviewer. Please go and watch in theater. Worth to watch it. Outstanding performance by each and every actor.

Final Word - Just Mind blowing....",10
"Maybe that's what they were hinting at when Wanda served breakfast for dinner? Like a good novel, the reader shouldn't expect to read through a couple of boring chapters to be kept intrigued. Assuming this won't continue to be just a 50's sitcom, they could have shortened this torturous drawn out prelude.",1
"Everything other than Jim Carrey's performance is nonsense in this movie. I got sick of repetetive scenes and overacting including Kate Winslet. What is that neverending partying scene in Joel's bedroom? Are we supposed to laugh at that? What about Joel's interaction with the memories of Clementine and taking advices from them? Nonsense over nonsense... The movie could have been much better, had the screenwriter made a better research about the unconscious mind and the director introduced less agitation. All of 6 points are for Jim Carrey.",6
"Just don't do it,i hope second season will be better,wandavizion & loki are better than this one.",6
"For me sadly, it does not work. It was boring, I hated the main character, I hated the 1000 cigarettes she is smoking per episode instead of making anything meaningful. I have absolutely no clue what could possible interest me in this show.

Please help, is something wrong with me or the show? I really need someone to explain how this is even remotely interesting enough to watch it past episode 2.",1
"I don't know why the special effects everyone raved about don't work for me?? This movie had zero visual appeal for me. It felt like watching a mashup of the simpsons with the faces cut from Roseanne. And it was so childish, the script, the characters, the emotional temperature, the plot were all far more suited to Walt Disney. My 6 year old nephew kind of liked it, but even he struggled to believe it was real, it comes off all so fake its like watching a really really long cartoon. Hats off to Cameron for successfully squandering so much time, talent and money to a film pitched at the lowest common denominator. I hope future generations don't judge us by the popularity of this trashy film",2
"As a fan of the Witcher 3 game (played it 3 times with the expantions) i must say that without reading the books or playing at least one of the game you cant understand the show and thats a poor way to write a show. Take Lord of The Ring for example , i saw the movies without reading the books and i still manged to understand every detail of the LOTR universe, but with The Witcher ,even though i played Wild Hunt i still found myself google past lores to see if i understood some scenes correctly. this is a major indicator of poor writing. What LOTR Followship of The Ring manged to do in 3 and a half hours, The Witcher failed to do in 8 hours. Besides the lack of a good world-building, the dialog were pathetic and childish. The dialogues were so pathetic that the web is filled with memes quoting Gerald's ""hmmm"" and "" destiny....."" (i've cringed every time i heard that word). And another thing, the whole idea of The Witchers games and books is to emphasize the choices Gerald is confront with while trying to navigate between whats right and whats wrong and to exprience the outcome of those choices, this idea is totally undermined by the muilty-timelines script as you immediately see whats lays ahead. The only reason for the gap in ratings between fans and critics is that the fans of the books and games, the same as I, eager to see the world of the witcher comes to live, while the criticis, without playing the game nor reading the books, stay objective...

I gave it 6/10 and it's closer to a 5 then a 7. peace.",2
"Sometimes you can't understand some things. I don't understand why this movie is so loved. Many critics gave positive comments. I was deceived by the criticism and went to the movie with my friend. Come on, I went, I was bored, it doesn't matter. But my friend's complaints don't go away. Why did you bring me to this movie has been asked a thousand times. The film was neither an entertainment film nor an art film. They tried to make a different movie using the theory of parallel universes. But there is no creative idea. It was just an absurd comedy movie. But it's not funny. Even comedies powered by swearing or bodily fluids are more entertaining.",2
The new Captain America is not Steve but we cannot be unfair. Let's give him a chance before criticizing his executions.,7
"This is a fine movie, all the praises from the other comments are quite accurate, so I'll talk about something else. This is not a Batman movie, it's a Joker/Two face movie guest starring Batman. And that's where it fails.",6
"It could have been so much more and better. It's enjoyable and a nice to watch if nothing else is available but it's not a must see, I could have lived without seeing it and my life would be unaffected",6
"Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2 is one of the top comic book films to date, matching up well with Sin City and its predecessor. America's hero is back with more webslinging fun and a darker story. Peter Parker (a once again excellent Tobey Maguire) has got to get his life under control. He's falling in school, losing touch with friends Harry Osborn (James Franco is even better) and Mary Jane Watson (I don't really like Kirsten Dunst, but she suffices here), his aunt (Rosemary Harris lives up to her legend with the limited screen time she has) is worried about him, and to top it all off, a new maniac is on the loose, and it's another one of Peter's mentors: Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina is perfect as Dock Ock).

The ways it tops the first Spidey film is evident in the acting and special effects. The acting is much deeper, perhaps because the storyline is much more personal than the first film. I loved Alfred Molina as Spidey's nemesis, continuing the streak of excellent portrayals of comic book villains. Maguire is just as good as Spidey and Peter Parker, which we know he excels at. He gets a lot more emotional scenes in this one, particularly towards the end. James Franco's Harry Osborn is awesome, because he gives us even more mystery about his character, with a few hot flashes of anger. Harry is also portrayed as confused, which is an essential quality that Franco provides. Kirsten Dunst...well, what do you expect? She gets by well enough, but I wish she'd be as lovable as Jennifer Connelly in Hulk...but I'm comparing a B-talent actress to an Oscar winner, so that's not really fair.

The special effects are off the wall amazing, definitely deserving of the Oscar it won. The train sequence between Dock Ock and Spidey is simply breathtaking. This is another area where it more than surpasses the cheesy effects of Spidey 1. The movie is not just an action flick, but a real movie that conveys how hard it would be to be a superhero, the sacrifices that are necessary. It's definitely a landmark achievement for Raimi, Molina, and Maguire, as they make the film. It's a must own for any Spidey fan or action buff, in addition to any movie lover. It's got a great story, good characters, explosive action, and a strong ending that leaves the door open for #3 to be simply awesome.

10/10 --spy",10
The only thing which made this series cool (for most) a little was the bad words used. Nothing great here! Repeated stuff.,1
"I was really waiting for the season 3, but it is worse than the last season of GoT. Everything is bad from acting to plot writing. Allison and Victor were the worst.",1
"I can't believe you Batman fans! I can't believe anyone really liked this movie! It's a total BS film that destroyed the story of Batman. The movie wasn't even that enjoyable, it was brought more into a horror movie than a comic book or even a whimsical/corny TV show. Christain Bale as Batman? He's better than George Clooney, that's for sure, but he didn't give much depth to his character. It's like ""Look! My voice can get scary! I'm Batman! No, really, I am!"". Katie Holmes? I'm recently ticked off with her and Tom, so I'm going to back off and just pretend she wasn't in the movie at all. The villain? Who was it? There was no main one!

Plot holes!!!! There were a million. OK, supposedly, this homeless person killed Bruce's parents, NOPE! WRONG! It was Joker, and even before Jack became the Joker, he was a smooth gangster. Not a homeless man if you will. Also, this is supposed to be a prequel to the first Batman? Then why are people using cell phones and updated cars? The first Batman was set in the 80's.

Jeez, people! I'm not trying to be all harsh on this film, but this was in no way the best Batman!

4/10",4
"B film from A actors. Get over it. Amberasing for J.L. , J.E. and J.I. 5 star is tooooo much, only for afford.",5
"Watched the show tonight, its funny, witty and the mistery is actually very enjoyable and gets your attention sincs the beginning.

The acting trio is really charismatic and has good chemistry. I thought it was going to be a Steve Martin/Martin Short thing but i was very surprisded with Selena Gomez. Her oerformance was great and you really get drawn to her performance and scenes. Maybe this will open opportunities for hwr in the acting industry, she deff has some chops!",10
"I expected the new doctor Strange movie to as exciting and enjoyable as the first but like most sequals it was extremely underwhelming.

This movie failed to encapsulate me for a moment with its unbelievable storyline and terrible writing. Everything from the terrible performance of actress Xochitl Gomez to its crap CGI makes this an automatic skip, don't bother watching.",2
The writers butchered the plot with flashbacks that are not needed. The plot doesn't take off and just falls flat on the floor. Such a waste of potential. And waste of my time.,4
"The show has the exact same story, the HBO's Silicon Valley. In silicon Valley too the young Entrepreneurs left their jobs and come out of comfort zone to form a billion dollar company.",9
"But of course, it's not perfect or anything. I kinda don't like the quick cuts they do in the action scenes and they did get some woke stuff in there, but it's not too on the nose and people complaining about it are hilarious. I don't know what show they watched before season 3 if they think that now the show is political.

For now, I keep my rating on 9 and I'll change it after the whole show ends because it's fair to give a 10 then if they can end it well.

Anyway, about the show: Pretty much everything in this show is top-notch, from the direction, cinematography, and music choice, to the amazing acting from the whole cast but especially Karl Urban, and Antony Starr as Homelander. This guy has created and acted as one of the best and most memorable characters on tv and he deserves an award for his phenomenal acting.

This show is very mature in every way and most of the bad ratings you see are because they think the show is ""vile"" and against their religious upbringing or something. This show has everything, extreme violence, nudity and all that. (And lots of swearing, in case you're a weirdo who doesn't like that and thinks there shouldn't be swearing in movies and shows). So if you don't like this stuff please don't watch this and then ruin the rating by giving your dumb score because you were offended by one word in 23 hours of the show.

The story is really good and gets better with each season with new plot lines and great and iconic new characters. Writing is getting better in season 3 and the writers find really creative ways to make the show even more entertaining and not boring, like the way they did 2 flashbacks in episode 7 of season 3. Of course there are lots of clichés and tropes in the story, some that don't make sense at times and some that do, but they work really well for this story and you know what they say, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

In conclusion, the show is one of the most entertaining shows I've seen, with great acting and visual effects. It's one of the best most enjoyable shows I've seen.

As the disclaimer of season 3's episode 6 ""Herogasm"" said, ""this show (epsiode) is not suitable for any audience at all"". So be an adult and view it at your discretion.",9
"Sadly, a very Lazy film. Bad photography and acting is just the tip of the iceberg.",1
"This is Fluff. Razzle Dazzle Revealing Itself to be Nothing More than Eye Candy . A Misdirection that is so Self Confident it Decides that Complicated Plot Convolutions and Unengaging Characters are Acceptable because this is just So Much Fun.

But it isn't. Suspension of Disbelief Distracts from Real Illusionism. That what is seen Live on Stage is Sabotaged by the Simple Fact that this is a Movie and this Type of Thing Pales in Comparison to what is Done Weekly by Hollywood's Digital Artist. The Strength of the Tricks is Never Realized and are so Ho-Hum that the Director must have been Aware of this because His Idea of Entertainment is to Send the Camera in Circular Motion in just about Every Scene.

As Dizziness Sets In, the Viewer can become Disoriented and Misdirected to the Limitations of the Stage Show to Film Show and are Beyond Focus as the Mind becomes Woozy and the Stomach is Ready to Purge.

Its a Pretty Picture and has a Cast of A-List Types that are having a Good Time with Barely much Effort. If this is a Good Time for You, So Be It. Just don't be Bothered Trying to Figure it Out because All of the Tricks are Revealed, or will be, in the Disc Extras that with Every New Release is Forever Eroding what Fun there is in Watching a Movie. That Movie Magic is No Longer a Wonder, it is a Commentary, and Behind the Scenes Explanations Ad Nauseum.",5
"I wasn't impressed with the first installment, it was an odd experience, it was neither a villain nor a anti-hero story it was a blend of both, generic plot, weird acting (although I am a fan of Tom Hardy) an overall bad story, and this sequel takes the bad to another level.

To be honest I didn't expect much improvement on the sequel but it came out worse than I thought, the whole movie is like a terrible B rated film, somehow Tom Hardy as Eddy is even weirder now I would even go as far as saying cringe, and once again I am his fan in many other works he has been making I don't understand his choice to be a part of this movie.

The side actors are generic secondary characters and your avergae joe seems to be completly fine with the freak show, the plot is so predictable and boring and somehow they are trying to make this an anti-hero type of flick yet its not clear how Venom is suppose to be a villain here, it just doesn't make sense, same os on the Suicide Squad they tried miserably to make villains heroes or at least grey area anti-heroes but they didn't do this right, like for example what we see in Joker and his down descent to madenss.

The relationship between Venom and Eddie is terrible and strange, the best part (small spoiler!!!) is when he gets out of Eddie's life, I was rooting for that to be permanent.. It's a mix of ""super hero"" movie disguised with some Scary Movie vibes with some A list actors to grab the audience... I really hope they don't make this a part of the multiverse

Honestly I don't see what was the main goal of these movies, it's clear this is a seperate project from the current Marvel Studios projects.",2
"Yes, i agreed with some reviewers that certain scenes dragged a bit longer than necessary. I wish they release a movie version of it by combining all 6 episodes of essence. Marvel's TV and Movies are now under the same umbrella, so a must watch!",8
"Incredibly contemporized, great adaptations of the original stories on some episodes. I just felt the last season (04) was a little too much overwhelming when they lost track of the plot twists, even though the main idea was interesting.",9
"This is an amazing start to what could be a very interesting and unique storyline that Marvel has created. It is both a love letter to older eras of television, and a superhero story that is so much different to anything we've seen before. The 50s style of sitcom might not be everyone's favorite start to the series, but it is pulled off with confidence. Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany are great together and really work as a Honeymooners-esque couple. But do not be fooled, the eeriness of the world they live in hints at further danger that lies ahead through the series.

I think Marvel have done a great job with this series to start and I cannot wait to see where this show goes with the combination of other styles of TV sitcoms and superhero action.",8
We really need to get this show above it's 7.9 rating! It does not deserve that at all! All the people who though it was bad in the beginning have brought the rating down to a place it doesn't deserve to be.,6
"I didn't like this movie, also I didn't feel like I wasted my time. I guess that's alright sometimes. The four stars are mainly for the cast. Jennifer was absolutely gorgeous. Bradly Cooper was good. The story line felt somewhat flat to me. Except for big words being thrown once in a while I didn't really find anything catchy.",4
"Maybe it's a case of high expectations, but I was underwhelmed overall with this movie. It has ramp-ed up the violence to the max and the end is quite good but too many problems mar this movie to make it a hit: - the setting never quite clicks: 12 years in the future they have the same phones and the same TVs? Mutantkind was eradicated? Not a big deal but it never seems right - the movie is a road movie? An action movie? A mix of the both with a lot of dead times and fairly filler moments - What it is not is a super hero movie. It has some of its tropes but lacks the overall sense of wonderment a superhero flick needs - The bad guys and main threat are really **meh** So yeah Hugh Jackman is OK, Patrick Stewart is OK, seeing a Wolverine unleashed on the screen has its moments but overall somewhat disappointed.",6
"Plot Outline: Set in 1940s China, the film portrays a young man (Stephen Chow) who wants to be a gangster with the notorious 'Axe Gang' just because being good didn't work for him. KFH includes other characters like the protagonist's fat-lazy sidekick, harp-playing killers, a frail looking beast, a hamlet's domineering landlady and her husband and some of the hamlet's inhabitants who are all apparently Kung-Fu masters!

Comment: KFH is yet another Chingi martial-arts movie with flying that defies all laws of Physics. The audience can find some action sequences resembling the Burly Brawl of Matrix Revolutions and some dialogues from Spiderman. One is left wondering whether some of the scenes are to be enjoyed as Action-sequences or pure-comedy.

Considering Chow's track record of Shaolin Soccer (2001), he seems to be adept at confusing viewers between Action and Comedy. Performances can be rated as 'decent' from the comical angle. Although SFX is executed neatly, the similarities with Matrix make it seem exaggerated. Unlike Matrix, which was a dream world, Chinese stunt-men simply don't seem to accept physics. Can someone explain me why every other guy in a Chinese movie is a Kung-fu master?

Rating: 2/5",4
"Great advertising movie. All those brands that were too conspicuous in the picture and were even mentioned by name, sorry but who can take such a film seriously? And the opening scene, the car chase, it lasted 20 min!!! Bit exaggerated? It became too much for me to look further. It was quite a disappointment for me with all those great big names. I was expecting a good movie but this was really disappointing....",2
"Wonder why such a movie was not made earlier? looks like another film called 'Paan Singh Tomar' has set the ball rolling for something that vast majority of Indians did not know about the life of its famous sportsmen, circumstances and history associated with it, like the Friendship games between India & Pakistan in BMB, which leaves some hangover in the end, with vibrations that will be resonating for a long time. Besides sports, there is so much associated with this film, like the aftermath of partition between India and Pakistan and its effects, creating innumerable victims, whose lives got shaped for worse. Had it not been for the army and sports that embraces Milkha Singh, we would have seen another Paan Singh Tomar like personality that Milkha Singh could have turned into. Hats off to Rakeysh Mehra and its producers for bringing this real life story on a celluloid screen for everyone, especially India's citizens, who would have been deprived otherwise to see this historic episode, which would have remained hidden. The song and dance in the bar reminded one of a similar song from 'Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara'. One or two slow numbers could have been avoided to make the film bit shorter. Overall it was a good blend of history and main stream Bollywood movie. Farhan Akhtar definitely deserves 2013's best actor award.",9
"Although the pop-group, ""Coldplay"" evokes supposed musical melancholy to a large mass of people, to me it evokes money-making nostalgia for a time when one wasn't such a money-making sellout. I.e. it sounds weak, not weepy; bored, not melancholic.

Thus is my argument for this film and most of Sofia Coppola's work. Her movies are kitschy pop film pieces, masquerading behind the imagery of deeper film-makers before her. A la Coldplay versus Radiohead, post-punk or Elliott Smith.

I, like every other dopey American, thinks night-time shots of Kyoto are mysterious and alluring and would like to be jaded and melancholy in a crazy Japanese metropolis. However, I don't know if this movie does much for me in painting that cheesy fantasy.

I really don't know about the character developments here. Giovanni Ribisi's convenient photographer ""character"", John, is unrealistically aloof from his mopey wife, Charlotte (Scarlett!). He's friends with this girl, Kelly (Anna Farina, famous from Scary Movie) who is freaking annoying on the deep end of the scale. She evokes the lowest-common-denominator of annoying, so that anyone seeing the film can understand how stupid she is in comparison to the lead characters. 'Course, John (Ribisi) doesn't notice this annoying twerp like Charlotte does! Zoinks! Now Charlotte feels soooo socially alienated!!!

I mean, geez, could you spell it out any more clearly for us, Mme. Directeuse? With characters like these, this movie borders on social indoctrination! There are a bunch of moments like this. The wisdom Bill Murray's character Bob (What About Bob?) imparts to Charlotte in these situations is basically on the level of an older brother telling his younger sister not to care what stupid frat jocks think about her booty.

If there's a reason this movie evokes emotions you can't quite put into words, it's because the movie doesn't know what it's trying to do. This movie is like some meandering indie-rock song that SOUNDS kind of melancholy, but is not concisely written with any theme or message that stands out.

Highlights: --Scarlett Johannsen crying at the Buddhist-Shinto shrine --the see-thru underwear on her butt at the opening shot --scientologists in lead roles --Bill Murray crying (he's a tragic character on a level unbeknownst to himself)",3
"If the ending of Game of Thrones left a sour taste in your mouth just know that HOTD is extra strength mouthwash. Now it wasn't perfect by any means there are a few nitpicks but the Story the set design the acting and the cgi are all top tier and left me wanting more. And for the doubters just know D&D the men responsible for botching the ending to GOT are nowhere near this project George is involved directly and it is based on an already completed work. If you're that cynical just spoil the ending for yourself to see if its good or not.

Overall I am excited to see where this show goes and I think a vast majority of people will enjoy it. If you hate powerful people of color or women though like a lot of these one star reviews show, maybe stick to The Birth of a Nation.",8
"I'll start out by saying that Yes I will watch the 3rd season when it comes out. It has been an entertaining show but throwing around terms like ""masterpiece"" is wildly off base. This show fits perfectly in the box of ""decent shows to watch when you are running low on Netflix series to watch"". Lots of hype, which feels to me like people just hyping it up because some else hyped it up. Kind of like Andy Warhol art. At some point someone has to have the guts to say the art sucks. So, bring on season 3 and I'm sure I'll watch it out my left eye while I'm doing something else on the computer.",4
Karen should be lulled off! She's over emotional and the actress who plays her is too over the top and both are bringing the series down! Glad kingpin returned in season 3 and saved the show from the crappy season 2 love schlock,7
"The movie is technically perfect. Beautiful shots (not, it's not a single shot) all over the place and one of the best cinematography works I've ever seen.

However, it lacks passion, good characters and a more compelling story. The first 30 minutes are really boring and, even if it gets much better after that, you never really care about the characters.

It's good enough because it looks great and you always want to see what will be the next beautiful shot. Watch it like an episode of Planet Earth, however don't expect a cinema masterpiece.",7
I realise this show was intended for kids but I'm 27 years old and I just finished watching it for the first time. I just binged it in 3 weeks and I absolutely loved it! It was simply awesome! The characters are fantastic and develop so well! I have recommended it to everyone I know as I think it is a must watch for anyone who is a fan of great story telling and wonderful animation! Brilliant brilliant brilliant!!!!!!,10
"As it has already been said by the critics a millions of times that SRK is back in form with his latest double role extravaganza, Fan is truly a grandiloquent comeback of the King of Bollywood after nearly half a dozen misses where he hardly reached the niche he had earlier crafted for himself.It is like a subversion from his previous self ,so much wooed by the lure of the business mathematics like Rs.200-300 Crores what some of the buffoonish movies of Bollywood earlier had made.But it seems the King soulfully listened to the prayers of the millions of his true 'Jabra'(Insane) fans.More importantly, he did actually pay heed to his inner self ,as Aryan Khanna would often advise to Gourav Chandna in the movie itself.And the outcome of this realization is a subtle, metaphorical and at times philosophical movie like 'Fan'.

It is highly unlikely that it will mint money like a Dabaang , a Happy New Year , a Chennai Express or even the pathetic Dhoom 3.But be rest assured that this reborn SRK has unleashed an unfathomable yet ingenious desire to strike the right chords in the right audience's heart.The extremities of the adulation of a fan for a megastar construct the periphery of this movie.Literally the periphery, as Mr.Khan in the dual role of Aryan Khanna and the love me-hate me- what to do to me Gourav Chandna holds the center-stage of this adrenaline rising sleek flick.A few scenes of the movie deserve to be remembered ever for the sheer brilliance of the actor who finally transcended the limits of being tipped,mocked and very often thrashed by the intellectuals as just a money monger with his obvious aspirations in his previous outings.The scene at the Delight hotel, Room No 205, the one where Aryan Khanna actually copies Gourav for his redemption or the climax scene where Aryan's eyes search for Gourav and Gourav's mirage makes him somber and self introspective- all offer you in bounty to adore and take a bow for Mr.khan's acting brilliance even if you are not his fan.The chase scenes are all Hollywoodesque barring the first one where you can easily find the VFX lacunae. The supporting actors are perfect in their minuscule roles.But once you are into the movie, you will gradually realize that the fallen king of Bollywood had chosen this as his vehicle to make his rejected and dejected fans believe what an arsenal of talent he still is.This movie like what I said for Swades or Chak De India as well upon their respective releases, would be a hallmark for the illustrious career of SRK and even if it fails to be a humongous hit, it will ever be remembered as a a benchmark of what skilled perfection of acting can do to otherwise an average movie.In the history of Hindi movie, it will be always remembered with the same respect what films like 'Taxi Driver','Vertigo' or 'Scarface' earned in Hollywood.Arguably the best movie of King Khan's career as an actor, this layered movie interwoven with myriads of subtleties is going to stay in your heart even when he broke the norms of being a mandolin playing or arms stretched hero in an exotic location to stay in the rat race of actors.By the way, did I forget to tell that this 144 minutes movie does not have a song and the lovable 'jabra' tune was only for promotion? Go watch it and do yourself a favor.

P.S: If I take a break from being a critic and tell what my heart not my brain asks me to do, I would always say that I loved the second half more... If there is one movie made in Bollywood you aspire to watch before you die just for sheer acting brilliance Hamin Asto, Hamin Asto,Hamin Asto...",8
"First, good opening scene but having to wait 50mins to see the Witcher in action was hard work. The creators failed to capture the spirit of the Witcher series. Cardboard cutout acting and a very contrived storyline doesn't help. The dialogue is so bad I found myself skipping ahead scenes because they were predictable anyway. In my humble opinion the TV adaptation pales in comparison to the PS4 game. If only it got close to the game trailer it could have been great but see and decide for yourself.",4
"I seriously laughed through so much of it that I'm sure I missed key parts. Or let me phrase it like this, I was nearly thirty when I saw it and it made pop come out my nose. I walked in dead set on hating this movie, I actually begged my friends to go see something ""worthwhile"" instead. I left loving Superbad. It takes a bit for me to laugh out loud in a crowded theater, but Superbad did it for me. It brought me to tears, it suffocated me, and I think I might have torn a muscle or two in my side. Superbad came out of the blue and hit me full force, it rates with the classic comedies of the seventies and eighties. It is completely refreshing seeing a comedy like this today, I thought America lost its humor in '93.",10
"First off, the acting was brilliant. There was such tension between the 2 main actors and I felt a real sense of unease whenever they were together, which did not let up throughout the whole film. The music and drumming was enjoyable, but often a bit tedious. The repetitiveness of it though does add to the dynamic between the 2 characters, where Fletcher the conductor doesn't accept anything less than his own absolute perfect.

The side characters such as Andrew's dad and the girl of interest weren't featured enough to have much of an impact on the story, except for that their scenes together made me care less for Andrew. I kept questioning throughout the film his and the rest of the band's dedication and allegiance to Fletcher. As if Fletcher alone is the be-all and end-all of their careers as jazz musicians. It just didn't seem realistic.

There were enjoyable aspects of the film, but I didn't feel there was enough of a plot development, or the development it did have I found myself questioning or thinking it didn't flow well with the characters.",5
Tobey is perfect Peter and Spider-Man and Kirsten Dunst is perfect Mary Jane. This movie has amazing special effects by 2004 standards and overall great writing.,10
I've watched this movie eight times still didn't understand it. Great movie. Best movie ever.,10
"An excellent depiction of action and the film was second to non but actors failed to portray the real horror of WW1 for me. I will watch it again but just for the cinematography alone. Oscars well deserved, a fantastic depiction of scene, I felt I was running along with the action.

7 over all but 10/10 for Cinematography.",7
"I don't understand why there are any good reviews on this show. I like Falcon and I like Winter Soldier, love all the MCU movies. But this show is just awful, terrible writing. I really wanted to like this but the screenwriting is barely watchable. The chemistry between Falcon and Winter Soldier is just not there, the actors and characters are being forced together and it isn't working.",1
"Godfather Part II is a sequel but it is also a prequel at the same time. The story of young Vito Corleone portrayed by Robert DeNiro from his violence enhanced humble beginnings to his rise as a mob boss is told along with the tale of son Michael who is now firmly in charge as Don of the Corleone Family. Brilliant cinematography with great acting makes this certainly the best PART TWO film ever. Michael V. Gazzo is particularly memorable as Frank Pentangeli a Capo in the Corleone family who was neither seen nor mentioned in the first film has now taken over the duties of the deceased Pete Clemenza. Lee Strasberg the legendary acting coach and teacher turns in a top performance himself as Hyman Roth friend yet enemy to Michael . Gastone Moschin as Fanucci a moustache Pete of the early mob days who young Vito must confront. G.D. Spradlin as Nevada Senator Pat Geary who's pleasant smile holds his slick veneer. Dominic Chianese as Johnny Ola `Sicilian Messenger Boy' to the powerful Roth.

Part Two is a much more complex picture than the first as many more characters are involved in the dual story line. At one point Gazzo's character Pentangeli comments that `The Corleone family was like the Roman Empire'. The Roman Empire however fell. Godfather Part II will never fall.",9
"Hollywood loves this director, most people do not. When you read the bad reviews they point towards unfunny jokes, slow pace, and some bad acting leading to that score. When you read positive reviews it says they are retaliating against Star Wars fans who dont like Johnson. I figure they are deserved either way.",1
"The first film was really enjoyable and had actual plot twists and good acting. I was really looking forward to seeing the sequel.

The plot was thin at best. Some of the cast did what they could with it, but this was pretty much DOA despite the stellar cast! The location could have been a parking garage for all the difference it made to the story.

I love the attempt to revive the old fashioned detective genre, but it's no Agatha Christie, it's not even Murder She Wrote.

I would love to be proved wrong, but I don't hold out much hope that they can revive this new Daniel Craig vehicle for number 3. They will need a decent script and a lot more effort.",4
"This is a bizarre bit of teen rubbish that is actually a fun romp. You just have to ignore the bad acting from many of the younger actors. The main characters do manage to pull off their characters well, but many always sound as if they are just reading their lines, punctuation marks included. Teen high school series are hot right now with every country in the world producing their own versions. This one goes a step further and adds the supernatural twist, but in a fun way. It's all a bit silly, but does keep you engaged despite the level of silliness being off the scale! There's not much to the story as the idea seems to be to move from one crisis to the next, complete with all the special effects available.",6
"Russian Doll season 1: great atmosphere, great sound track. Engaging time travel mystery as two characters (Nadia and Alan) try to change their time loops and figure out their off track lives. Pensive, humorous, complex. 9/10

Russian Doll season 2: great soundtrack. Same two characters travel through time, except there's no stakes, and they can exit the time loops at will. They meander, and their stories do not even link up. The second character Alan is an afterthought. Stale, falsely upbeat. Nadia breaks fourth wall unquestioned, navigates nazi occupied cities without care, and thoughtlessly endangers timestream. 6/10

Enjoyed some surreal sequences of season 2 but overall Nadia is far too self absorbed. I had to stop watching about 3/4 way though the season. Powered through the rest for a moral at the end. Appreciated, but at a certain point a character is just too far gone.

Wish that the second season involved entirely new characters apart from Nadia and Alan.",7
Series started on a good note with gripping screenplay and some good acting despite few hiccups and drags. Slowly it became routine from season 4. Traitor-Immunity deal from president-no time-Jack the savior. People will be moving around in CTU except few characters who actually work. No FBI no NSA no CIA no local police. Any issue- CTU CTU.. setup a perimeter. What for? These guys always loose agents all the time at perimeters letting the traitors escape. None shots Bauer even they have tons of chances. Someone can enter into their building and release gas right under their nose. It should be wrapped up in 10-12 episodes per season. Routine stuff,6
"It makes a lot of sense that the creator of the Disney+ ""Loki"" series, Michael Waldron, has also worked on the Adult Swim show ""Rick and Morty."" Same multiverse stuff, but treated with more quasi-religious reverence instead of mockery. The Citadel of Lokis. Indeed, I suppose one must have an underlying love for tired fantasy and sci-fi tropes to continually parody them. If one isn't and is even less aroused by whatever this or that nonsense thing means for phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and doesn't care for climaxing by shot/reverse shot expositional vomit, there may be considerable eye rolling to be had. There was for me, at least. Quite disappointing, too--especially since the show does a good job for a while of demonstrating it--because Loki was originally one of the best characters in the MCU. In a way, the most important one in the initial phase culminating in ""The Avengers"" (2012).

Some of the reason for that remains here just as it floated about and lifted some rather listless early ""Thor"" franchise installments. Indeed, he's funny and well played--in a ""Shakespeare in the park"" sort of way, as Tony Stark once quipped--by the Shakespearean Tom Hiddleston. Most fundamentally promising about the character, though, is his reflexivity. Theoretically, he should be a natural for the multiverse. He is a reflection of the ultimate universe, or omniverse, if you must. As advertised, it's a cinematic universe. One based on trickery, scheming, transmogrification, enchantment, projection, and Loki is its god of mischief. Strange, then, that this potential of Loki has never been as fully realized as it was for, what is a minor character in the grand scheme of the MCU, Mysterio in ""Spider-Man: Far From Home"" (2019), perhaps the most underrated entry in the entire cosmology of Marvel burgers. Mysterio was what the MCU is: action scenes choreographed to projected computerized visual effects. Likewise, this is what I adored about the first Marvel Disney+ series, ""WandaVision"" (2021)--that it, including through the embodiment of its principle character, the Scarlet Witch, revealed what's really the ""greatest power in the universe,"" television, or what nowadays is called ""streaming.""

Particularly in the first episode, as well as some stagecraft reveals later in the series that I shan't spoil, it seemed as though the makers of the show grasped all of this and might do some interesting or at least amusing things with it. And the interdimensional time travel is fun for a while, but then it becomes as a dull as riding a train... because they are riding a train. Before getting bogged down in narcissistic romance, convoluted mystery plotting and more and more talking, we have Loki being forced to watch events from his life. Indeed, these are scenes from prior entries in the MCU. Films-within-films, or prior episodes replayed in what is essentially been the most financially-successful serial in the history of the movie business. From there, it's intimated that this Loki will be introduced to an expanded universe of other Lokis. That's where the reflexive magic ultimately gets itself into a pickle (Rick) consumed by its own bureaucracy. Each time a new adventure might hold out some amusement, there's that TV talkfest filler to ruin it all by trying to explain the larger meaning of the universe as if the corporate grunt work going on behind the scenes were more compelling than the cinematics themselves. Recruiting-the-criminal trope, Loki becomes just another worker bee drowned out by a cultish office culture, written standard so-called ""character development"" as encouraged by the usual romantic co-lead and funny best pal. MCU as TVA.",6
"Extremely predictable, and annoyingly so.

Presents a situation with a deadline. If the deadline passes, well, you don't want that to happen. You already know that these selfish idiodic characters are going to miss the deadline.

They miss the deadline, and I turned it off at this point.

Additionally, I don't understand why writers have become so lazy of late. Why do they make characters that suddenly forget that they have abilities and powers? For the sake of no spoilers, it is like when a Jedi loses their lightsaber and is quickly defeated - forgetting completely that they have all the power of the Force behind them.

This laziness and poor writing is utterly frustrating. Writers need to try much harder, or, perhaps, not so hard?

The first series was interesting, and kept me onboard throughout. The second series I gave up on a couple of episodes in.

Thank you.",6

"The characters were basically caricatures of the rich stereotypes. The acting was over the top, but it suited the storyline perfectly. Daniel Craig returns as Benoit Blanc, and he doesn't disappoint at all. The movie was a lot of fun, though I found it quite predictable. If you like a bit of Agatha Christie, a hint of Sherlock Holmes and a dash of humor mixed in, a you will likely enjoy this movie. It's definitely a great cast, and each actor portrayed their character with just the right amount of serious and silliness. As with many movies these days, it is a hair longer than it should have been, but not terribly so. I would definitely watch more like this!",7
"Review for (The Boys)

This series is VERY unique and NEVER done before , The story is so well written and I can't believe I haven't watched it when I've heard of it in the first time , BUT now that I've watched it I can safely say that THIS is EXACTLY the OPPOSITE of what you will think of a superhero Series.

It flips the thinking of the whole concept of super heroes , turning the evil into good and good into evil and it's done in a really good way.

The pacing is fantastic the plot moves from the first episode real quick and it shows how bad those supes are.

This series is entertaining but it has some episodes that are kinda boring and slow , but it's worth the slow burn of the plot.

The acting of Karl urban , Antony starr, Jack quid is PHENOMENAL especially Karl urban he is my 2nd favourite character known as William Butcher.

The best character here is of course , HomeLander , his acting is very amazing and EVERYTIME he's on screen you know that this is the best moments in that episode and I am not kidding he is really superior and really powerful as a character and I can say more but it's alright.

A lot of other characters have different roles and personalities and I like everyone of them , every other character in (The Boys) are amazing like , Frenchy, M. M Kmeku and more.

This series is really fun and the fun part is the superhero stuff and it's really the opposite of what I've thought about.

It's easily Amazon Prime's best series ever and I would recommend it if you have the time , Overall 9/10.",9
"It's fairly true to the book but has necessary short cuts because the book (first in a trilogy) was a very dense spy thriller. Lawrence was much too chunky to be believable as a ballerina and then as the athletic agent she became. I think without some of the long mood shots, the film could have incorporated what really made Dominika special and a superior operative - she could see people in color, which told her if they were lying, dangerous, happy, etc. It would have been a visually great addition - but understandably time consuming to explain it. The very handsome Nate Nash - I don't get Joel Edgerton as that.",7
"American Fiction is not only a satire of ""white"" attitudes to ""black"" art, it is also a believable family drama and a reflection on a man's struggles to connect with others.

Let's start with the satire. It is biting. And generates many, many laughs as a frustrated Thelonious ""Monk"" Ellison creates a cliched ""black"" novel as a prank on the white-dominated industry that wants him to fit a stereotype, before the joke takes on a life of its own.

But this film is not just a satire. Just as much of it is about the challenges in Monk's life - dealing with the loss of family members, his relationships with his siblings, and the care of his ageing mother. And this part of the film, by turns happy and sad, remains engaging thanks to the quality of the script and the performances.

Wright is superb as Monk. A recurring theme in my reviews is my dislike of ACTING. Jeffrey Wright is acting in the best way for cinema, using small gestures to create a believable character that you both root for and get frustrated by.

There is strong support too with a particular mention for John Ortiz whose role as Monk's agent brings so many of the jokes to life.

The film goes for a ""meta"" ending which is OK but removes some of the impact. I would have preferred a traditional ending. But that is nit-picking.

American Fiction is a superb comedy-drama. Highly recommended.",8
"If you measure this film against other DCEU movies it's pretty good, but stand it on it's own and it just isn't. The biggest problem with the movie is its tone - is this movie for kids or adults? The thin plot and hokey bits don't play for adults and the strip club and demons biting off peoples heads don't play for kids. My own kids wanted to like the film but nightmares about the demons and an unwanted conversation about why Shazam wanted to go see naked ladies turned them both off. As an adult, the super simple story and ridiculously over the top antagonist were big turnoffs. I think we all want to like this film, and that we all want DC to make good movies. Unfortunately this is another miss.",6
"I am a huge fan of Marvel movies, so I wasn't about to let this one slip by. As expected, it did not disappoint. It is being touted as the best movie Marvel has ever made. Personally, I can't be sure about that because it's hard to choose, but I can say this with certainty: it is my favourite movie this year so far.

It has all the following elements that I love in a Marvel movie:

* Amazing action scenes * Awesome special effects * Good plot * Suspense (it had me biting my freshly manicured nails and I had to stop myself) * Twists (I can think of 3 major ones that had me go ""whoa."") * Hot actors (the Cap, Chris Evans, is sooo handsome! And those shoulders, wow!) * Humor (though this is more serious than the other Avenger movies) * Heart * Romance (just slight. There was more bromance, though, I think.)

It's the kind of movie that both men and women would like. And kids, too.

When I saw Captain America part 1, I thought Captain America is the most ""heroic"" of all the heroes because he is very noble. This movie further cements that belief. Steve Rogers has the heart of a hero. (And the face of a god.)

Just like in the first Captain America movie, I was in awe of all the amazing things he can do with that shield of his, which he uses not just for defense, which is what shields are for, but offense as well. I told my seat mate, ""That is not a shield, but an all in one gadget - weapon, vehicle, umbrella!""

Also as always, the ending is set up for a sequel, and there are a couple of scenes after the credits, so make sure to stay for them. (We missed the second one again, dammit, Marvel.) And I'm getting quite good at spotting Stan Lee's cameo appearances in all the Marvel movies.

I am purposely not discussing the story because I went in with zero idea on what it was going to be about, and that made the surprises more pleasant for me.",8
"Patience pays, the series starts slowly but it develops amazingly.This is a great way to introduce a mysterious series without giving too much away.Looking forward to the rest of the season",9
"Although I knew in advance that this film would be unlike any of Tarantino's previous films, I went into it with appropriate expectations. What I found was a overlong, tedious, boring, unfunny, self-indulgent and empty film with no likeable characters.

Many pseudo-poets and philosophers believe they can recognise a deep and qualitative meaning in it, but they would not pay any attention to the film if it did not abuse the 3 big names.

Any documentary about the film industry of the 60s and 70s is more interesting than this mediocrity.

Even not everything DaVinci made was declared art and masterpiece, same goes for Tarantino.",3
"Doing a live action show that needs to stand up to one of the most clever, unique, and hilarious cartoon shows ever made is always a daunting task. No show or version of it has failed as hard as this one. This is one of the most egregious and terribly insulting versions to come out of the intellectual property that is The Tick. In the entirety of the first season there are possibly two jokes that actually work, and Justin in list slew of terrible writing, bad acting, or painfully stupid story. Honest to God I have no idea how this show continue to get stamps of approval and actually get made. And you can tell somebody knew it was bad because they spent how many millions of dollars advertising it for how many months before it came out? And even the trailers which only need 15 or 30 seconds of gold material to make a show look compelling, couldn't even muster that. I honestly don't know how even hard-core fans can pretend that they like the show. There's nothing redeeming about it and it is insulting more than anything. I know people are always wishing the cartoon show and come back and are happy to have anything that says The Tick on it, but you have to be honest with yourself and call it what it is, an incredibly terrible show.",1
"I've enjoyed stranger things from seasons 1 through 4. In season 4, they took a lot of ideas from the Nightmare on Elm Street movies and made them their own. Still held its own. Overall great season. I wish we could have gotten 12-15 episodes.",7
First movie I've seen which does not get carried away in jingoism. Story and screenplay are top notch. Action scenes at par with the best in the world.,10
Maybe I had to high expectations but this is just another search and rescue movie that follows every single rule with the Hollywood ending.,4
"Well acted, and interest-holding, but the ending was abysmal. Can't understand the fairly high ratings by normal folks, when the ending leaves such a bad taste in your mouth. Cannot recommend this series.

Both my wife and I strung along with the characters' journeys hoping that there would be a positive payoff at some point, although to be fair, when the critics rave about a show we are often suspicious that there will be an atypical, unsatisfying conclusion. Such was the case. (I know that we may not be the target audience for a zombie series, and I readily admit that I like to feel good when a movie or series ends.)",2
"It is the story of a person that in a position of indebtedness tries to solve his monetary problems by running away from the problem, betting more, hoping he will win and repay his loans. Nothing new, by definition already a highly stressful situation. But the stress is increased by the fact that from a personal pov, his ex-wife and daughter treat him with huge contempt, and his relationship with his mistress is also very stormy. So everything in his life is a mess as a consequence of his decisions, and to top it all up the actual dialogue of the movie is constant yelling and swearing. Sadly, everything ends in tears.

I think more than giving a grade to the movie, we should strive to describe with facts what the movie is about, and everyone can decide whether they feel like watching that or not. So a movie about a person whose life is a mess, and which ends in tears",5
"Best Movie. Script, Dialogues, Direction, Acting,Visuals everything just perfect. Vicky Kaushal and Mohit Raina were phenomenal.",10
"Like most Hollywood productions, this show is really not about moving the plot along but about sentimentality and pointless dialog and backstory. You end up becoming involved in the story for a couple of minutes then have to endure 10 minutes of characters 'relating' to one another that has nothing to do with the plot. It gets tedious.

Yes, this is aimed at children with its simplistic messaging and life lessons but it's all so boring! It doesn't help that the Penny character's sarcasm is bereft of humor and she becomes more annoying than interesting. And so pointless. Everyone is warned over and over not to talk to Dr. Smith but they keep doing it over and over and, like with Penny, the actor playing Smith is irritating. Oh well, someone's making a lot of money off this and I guess that's the point isn't it?",6
"I find the set-up strained, the scares predictable and the characters all flat and annoying. But my biggest problem with this film-and it's something the series double down on in the Nun-is so much of the fantastical and horror elements are overblown and incoherent. For the entire time of the series Annabelle the doll was a horror unto itself. Here is a horror magnet.

Much of the film is confusing but not in a disturbing way. Confusing in sense that the script does not care about storytelling, in-universe rules and the like. When the solution is to merely put something back where it was I rolled my eyes so hard because it was so anti-climatic. This is just a poorly planned film.",4
"This is just Hollywood communist, big government propaganda. Admittedly the craft of the film is beautifully done and it deserves an eight at least for that. But enough of the psychobabble communism and socialism coming from Hollywood, please. Two stars.

What is scary is that so many adult males identify with ""Batman."" That is scarier than the joker, if you ask me.

What really makes me wonder about Hollywood is that they could be doing so much more that rehashing old ideas with new film techniques.

I think the fact that Hollywood is really just a socialist, communist, big government propaganda machine constricts them from making real art anymore.",2
"25 minutes into the movie, and I was already disgusted. These bounty hunters who want John Wick dead for $14 million are effing idiotic!! Apparently the reward amount makes everyone want to hunt down Wick, but EVERYONE has no damn education and are CONSTANTLY giving him opportunities to fight back. Sure, it's a movie and Wick needs to live, but within the first 25 minutes, there were 4 encounters that were just so fricking disappointing.

The first guy wants to try to kill Wick with a long knife... Really? The guy is really tall, but why didn't he just use a gun when he had distance between himself and Wick? The next group is a bunch of asians, which you see chasing together, but during the fight scene, they roll in one by one to only get killed by Wick. And the fight scene just kept getting dragged out and got boring really quickly. The third group starts off by smashing their car sinto Wick (one car and then the second car waits for Wick to get up to finish driving into him...so stupid). The guys in the cars wait for Wick to run away, making me think okay, they don't have guns to immediately pull out, but after they get out of the car, the next shot shows them with guns. But of course, since they let Wick hide, they get picked off one by one. Typical. Then another dumb couple (one of which has a gun) chase Wick on their motorcycles. Rather than shooting him, they ""tug"" on Wick's jacket, so Wick responds by grabbing a gun from the back of that guy and shoots him. Wooooo... so cool!! When the next biker rides next to Wick, instead of Wick just shooting him, Wick felt compelled to hang off the side of a horse just to take a shot. WHY?!?!?! The most pointless moves seriously irritated me.

This is such a ridiculous movie. And EVERY SCENE is TRASH. I get that they don't want to show close ups that ruin the fight, but in this movie, I really wanted that because Keanu Reeves was terrible at fighting. He constantly left himself open to so many shots, stabs, punches, etc., but the movie wants us to think that Wick is so good that he can defend himself. Whoever was choreographing the fight scenes needs to be FIRED. The fight scenes in Chapter 1 and 2 were much better.",2
"A great little series with a big budget and some well written and acted characters.

The problems the Robinson family face do seem to be a little non stop at times but I guess a sci - fi, action type show like this would flop without out the knife edge element!?

Definitely worth a binge!",8
"After the fantastic ""Spider-Man: No Way Home"", and the fleshing out of Wanda in ""WandaVision"", I was really excited to see what was next in this expanding universe. Once I saw Bruce Campbell though, I was reminded that this is a Sam Raimi film with all the odd tropes: singing, zombies, cheap scares, closeups, heavy-handed Danny Elfman score, etc. It's a good reminder that even a $150M budget doesn't make someone a good director. There are parts that play like a Marvel movie with heart and humor, and build on an expanding universe like we've been promised. The rest is a mess, and does total disservice to when we last saw Wanda. If you like her character, or especially if you liked her series, you will not like this movie.",4
"Really, Hulu, Amy Schumer? This show was almost perfect. She's a terrible comedian and actor. Please, please, don't do that again. I just cringe whenever I hear her speak.

Anyway, the rest of the show is amazing. Selena sometimes looks awkward with her acting, BUT I love how her mellowness tones down Steve and Martin. They are all perfect together and play off each other well. Steve is a quiet funny, Martin is much more obnoxious and silly, but in a good way, and Selena is quippy and chill. The cast is perfect.

I love the comedy, the mystery, the story-telling, and how it is all weaved together. It's not overly thrilling, but the writing/storyline is interesting enough, so the thrilling part doesn't necessarily have to be there. It's one of my favorite shows. I wish the episodes were longer. I'm afraid we are going to binge watch this way too quickly and I don't want it to be over!",10
"It is difficult to judge the series once you have read the books and/or played Witcher 3, as they have unique climate, that sets the benchmark at a very high level. As a fan of the above, I feel tricked, as my expectations were high for a series with such budget. It is truly a unique achievement to turn a ready-to-use masterpiece into an average plot with slightly dull dialogues and loads of logical gaps. The story was trimmed in significant places, while unnecessary junk was added without reason (i.e. group sex scene when Geralt meets Yennefer seems to have been added only to show some porn). Dialogues, that gave spice to main characters and actually formed their personalities were turned into something dull and not really expressive. Characters' roles were turned upside down - non meaningful ones now seem to play a major role in the plot, while major ones are presented scarcely. Political correctness was very important during cast selection and seems to have put other aspects of the series to a further plane. Most actors are very far from the original vision and flat like a pancake. Ciri presents virtually nothing, the relationship between Geralt and Yennefer is a joke, Calanthe does not even seem related to Ciri and behaves more like a blunt barbarian, not a queen. On the other hand, Jaskier and Geralt are quite good as characters. Also Tissaia de Vries is very interesting along with several other characters. Unfortunately poor dialogues, raped out of their original wit, do not let them show all of their potential. The altered story is full of logical gaps. Magic is one of them. Its rules change with the plot, as if there were 2 completely different kinds of magic. Another example is the reunion of Ciri and Geralt. There would be nothing wrong with it, if they had ever met before. This part has been cut out entirely, so the reunion makes absolutely no sense! The battle for Sodden is a continuation of nonsense. Someone, who does not know the books can get utterly confused... As well, as someone, who does. The part makes absolutely no sense. To sum up, it is a nice story once you don't think too much about it and probably a good motivation to read the books and feel the difference.",5
"Truth be told this is definitely not what I would consider a great, even good movie. It is good in stone ways but bad in many ways. The casting is pretty do you send, but the story is terrible and cliche as hell. It tries to inject some comedy in the action, but it feels forced. It's a run of the mill action flick, that's it.",6
"Hi, all I really liked season 1-5 of the show and started watching season 6 yesterday. They hit it out of the park!!! Great story! If they keep this up it will be the best sci fi show!

Love it!",9
"This movie is nothing about making money from people's thirst for blood and violence. There is nothing worth mentioning in this movie except for fighting, and shooting, and blood. And it's not even credible. It's poor and childish. Hundreds of people barely manage to wound John before he kills them all. The hits he take doesn't do him a harm but kills everybody else. It's laughable. There is no story, no drama. Just blood everywhere. It's a waste of time. Why does Keanu do this any more?",4
"Gave this a 5 just because I loved the football scene and the ending 10 minutes but overall just a yawner.

The only good thing this movie did for me was allow me to do some laundry and the dishes while it rambled on for almost 3 hours.

WAY too long!

There were a few good zingers and one liners but overall just a bore.

Pretty much the same as the second one. About an hour too long.

I really enjoyed the first movie in this trilogy and the second was way too long just like this stinker.

I'm going to enjoy the little Bat lover comments when they start crying over my review. i can almost hear them now...""Oh, I've never met anyone at a Bat convention that did not like this movie. You must be demented! I must get you in my Bat embrace and wrench the goodness out of your review!""

Bat lovers rest your dreary eyes. This one is truly a sleeper. ZZZZZZ.....",5
"Fargo is one of those films that, if it is on, I have to sit down and watch. No matter how many times I have seen it, this film still enthralls me. A very bleak yet funny account of a botched kidnapping, in which a used car salesman, Jerry Lundegaard (William H Macy) hires two criminals to kidnap his wife, in order to fleece his rich father in law. However as the plan becomes reality, all that can go wrong does, and a series of tragic events unfold, which spells doom for Lundegaard and sets off a slew of collateral damage, which tears apart a tiny north mid-western town.

The small everyday nuances that the Coen brothers seem to relish exploiting in this film, and the innocence of these good hearted small town folk is what gives this film it much needed sense of reality. A sense of reality which a film like this needs in order to stand out and to have any impact whatsoever, and this film has tons of impact. Frances McDormand is excellent as Marge Gunderson, the quirky yet intelligent Brainerd police officer that is investigating several murders near the town of Brainerd. Unbeknownst to Marge her investigation will lead her into Lundegaard's web of kidnapping, murder, and betrayal. And what she discovers will test her emotional and moral strength. Near the end of the film, you can see the emotion and the pain in her face as she tries to comprehend what she has just witnessed and as she realizes what incredible evil men are capable of. What is worse is that it was all for a little money. As Marge says in the film ""There's more to life than a little money, ya know. Don'tcha know that?""

Most of the laughs come from the way the people talk and interact with one another, which if you are not from the mid-west or northern great lakes area can be pretty amusing at first. But after the shock of the accents wear off, Steve Buscemi's ""funny looking, little guy"" character as the bumbling foul mouth thug is funny until it becomes just mean spirited and then tragic. Peter Stormare plays a stoic and frighteningly calm murderer and sidekick to Steve Buscemi's character.

The film is great and overall very entertaining, but one of the things That I love watching every time I see this film, is watching William H Macy's character place the noose around his neck and watch it slowly tighten, until he has no more room to maneuver and is suffocated (figuratively speaking) by the lies he tells and then the lies he tells in order to cover up his original lies. Overall a fascinating film with an intelligent script and great performances.",9
"Fargo is an amazing movie and one of my favorites. The screenwriting is top-notch. Every scene is beautifully crafted. And oh my, the characters! The characters are amazing and each feel so natural. They don't feel like they are just unnatural people only to serve a purpose. No, each talk, act and think naturally. If I could say it in one word, I would say; It is specific and not generic. Even a simple line can say so much about a character. The details are incredible. I recommend it to every cinema lover and film student.",9
"What a great movie, heart touching.

Every scene is so beautiful, all the characters played their part very well. Over all must watch movie.",10
"I really liked this film. For the first 90 minutes or so. Then, as the body count exceeded what I thought to be roughly 15 thousand souls, I started to feel like I was missing out on life. The feeling grew exponentially, with every batch of 5 thousand casualties.

When John Wick began his ascent to the top of Sacré Coeur, where he faced a hundred new villains (probably the planet's last surviving human male specimens), I considered leaving. But it was Mr. Nobody yelling his ""balls"" cormmand (whereupon his dog jumps at a man's crotch, and then urinates over his dead body) that achieved the feat.

On my way home, I reminisced about the good old days, when an action-loaded, far-fetched but highly entertaining movie could be squeezed into 87 minutes (e.g. Commando, 1985; btw. 51% of the running time of John Wick: Chapter 4).

Anyway, ChatGPT informs me that ""There is no clear evidence to suggest that watching stupid films or any other form of entertainment can significantly lower a person's IQ,"" so it's not all bad. But I lost good lunch money and 3 hours of my life, and there's no refund on these.",2
"Not sure this film deserves 8 stars. I'm not sure I've seen a more docile war film. The actors seemed empty and without much to say despite what they are supposedly experiencing. The scene with men in a sinking boat considering throwing someone out to reduce the weight is nonsense. The boat is metal with a dozen geysering holes, they're waste deep in water. The film was resolved very quickly with no clear explanation.",3
This has got to be one of the worst movies I've ever watched from Marvel. So many wasted opportunities with this movie. It had the possibility to be good and wasted the chance.,2
"What a mind numbing boring excuse of a movie! I have nothing more to say than what movie did the critics see, because this was terrible, art is always the excuse when a movie has no substance!",1
"Don't get me wrong the actress and the visual are good But it's not my Addams! Nothing spooky, psycho and nothing of the sweet weird family that love each others! The actors were also so wrong! I mean Gomez and Camilla afraid of a murder !? None of them fit. Gomez lost his charm and the mom was boring and not at all spooky. I normally love this actors but they were mot fitting. The oncle was the worse and ridiculous. Wednesday were good but I could not recognized her psycho and weird self, she played more like a introvert who likes black. The story was also too focus on the mystery and at the end the school was more Hogwarts for weirdo. I guess I am too old and this show is more for teenager or people who did not know the previous movies.",6
"It pains me to go give a Scorsese film staring DeNiro, Pacino, Plemons, etc ... a low five on this, but it was way too long for the wrong reasons. It was like watching an ackward teenager trying to figure out whether he's studious, edgy, a jock, an artist ... etc ... The first two thirds is a polished Scorsese mafia flick peppered with annoying, but understandable, ""alpha male bad"" lectures from the female characters. Then it should have ended, but instead, it transitions awkwardly to a ""mean streets"" sort of day-in-the-life character study of the main character as an old man.",5
"The acting was good, it had potential...but it was TOO much. The teacher pushed the boundaries beyond normality. The teacher was abusive, manipulative, narcissistic and incredibly unhealthy. The teacher was toxic, position of power to control and scare young students into complete submission and fear through violence and verbal abuse.

The epitome of toxic.

I was hoping it would become better towards the end, but the ending was not resolute in any way. I would not watch this movie again. It portrays a toxic and unhealthy version of success and hard work that is violent. No one should aim for this or put this kind of behaviour on a pedestal. Other reviewers commenting that this is the type of hard work ethic and motivation that people from the millennial generation are lacking/or in need of, need a serious reality check.",4
"Overall a good movie, the performance was actually really good. Like the time line and the way the story and how the movie was captured. Definitely worth the watch.",7
"...by 'fascists'? The film was interesting at first but it slowly oozed into a mess due to a poor script that stilted any energy in the story. It wanted so much to be a adult version of say 'Alice In Wonderland' but the choice of roles and the numerous cameos (concierges) added to the repetitive poor attempt at humor. Nothing really dark here more of a boring tale that left the talent of a great ensemble elsewhere.

The director gave us an 'All Star Team' of the Americans vs. the Euros (heavily stroked with de rigueur 'Brits').

Do what I did - go to your local public library and borrow it - a loss of 90 minutes with a cutesy plot that goes no where.",3
"This movie basically ruined every aspect of the original that i loved... It ruined the Hyenas, it ruined Scar, it Ruined the comedy, it ruined Timon and Pumba. Yes, this movie is basically a ""scene for scene"" remake of the original, it copies everything directly from the cartoon. But they took out all the charm and all the humor that the original had, while not adding anything good. All of the comedic elements of the first one are gone, the hyenas are not fun anymore, they are just cliche genetic villains with no personality. Same goes for Scar, hes not intimidating or interesting anymore. He sounds tired and old. All of the wit the character had is gone. The entire movie is like this. They removed all the little fun parts and all the humor and the little details that makes the original so iconic. Even when timon and pumba try to do humor, it comes as soulless. They end up being annoying instead of charming. Specially pumba. He was very annoying.

Sure the cgi might look great, but at what cost? They focused so much in making the animals look so realistic, that they forgot to add a soul to the characters. They forgot to add any of the humor of the original. This is just a soulless cgi clone.",2
"Just watched this in cinema. All I can say is that the film was meh..

The acting was amazing. The script good. But over all... meh. 3/4 of the way through I wanted to go home. It wasnt anything special. I would watch it at home. But paying £15 in cinema for it... I regret it.",6
"Positively one of the worst movies, never mind musicals that I have ever watched in my entire life and I am now almost 64.

I am not only amazed at the mediocrity of the movie but also by the response from those movie goers who see fit to rate this production as 10 star.

One reviewer suggested that it was the best movie they had seen since Star Wars when they were a kid. What planet is this reviewer now living on? He/she could not possibly have seen the same movie that I endured just a few hours ago.

It lacked story-line, pace, memorable songs. It had one simplistic tune, melody or whatever which was constantly repetitive. The characters lacked depth and credibility. And the actors were poor in the art of song and dance. The backdrops and sfx were abominable and B- movie like in execution.

If this movie succeeds at the Oscars, it is further proof of how out of touch America is with the rest of the world in both politics and the arts.

The only saving grace is that neither can get much worse and that in the spirit of hope great things will arise from the ashes.",1
"The description and trailer looked sketchy, but the great reviews convinced my wife and I to give it a go. Blaaaah- amaturish, clumsy, tedious and unbelievable. Watch if you like the idea of watching a college project someone else's kid made!",4
"after films like Gravity and Interstellar, Martian is a big downer for me.

PLot: OK-ish, execution: very bad acting: OK, great actors do good acting at worst.

I couldn't feel the characters or any urgency to act in tight situations. A lot of dialogues seem thrown in and out of flow. Facial expressions seem artificial. Nerds seem making an effort to look like nerds. .. Arggh!

Couldn't at any point in the movie root for any character.

Matt Damon tries to overdo his Serious mood and subtle humor stuff, didn't work, the background music steals the silence and lonely environment one should feel in space.

well, I can rant on.. but in Short: A bad movie I regret watching.",3
"You would believe that movies industry has developed by now to the level where a movie can't be that bad. You would be wrong. For a movie with a bunch of respectable actors, this is a disaster. Literally every scene in the whole movie is boring, except one scene when a bad guy kills a person by car. That scene is satisfying because there is one less boring person in movie. I went with my girlfriend to the cinema and i can conclude that it was a fail. We were either sleeping or trying hard not to sleep whole time. If you want to watch this movie I would reccommend you to do anything else, but I mean it, anything. Would rate 0, but i like one actor.

If my review helps someone not to watch this movie, I would get a good deed and be closer to heaven. Would rate 0, but I like one of the actors.",2
Worth watching even 2 times. What a movie and performances!! Begin to end goosebumps.,10
"Really disappointed at how far removed from the tone of the Addams Family this adaptation is. Far too mean spirited and plain dull at times. Where the early 90s movies had the right mix of the warmth and tongue-in-cheek macabre humor and fit nicely with the original Charles Adams cartoons and 60s sitcom, this series is less Adams Family oriented and more of an uninspired run of the mill mix of rehashed elements from a certain other movie franchise and a couple of other recent popular tv shows.

The production values are very good, and Jenna Ortega looks terrific, but in a schedule filled with somber and depressing shows, this is simply yet another one that can be added to the list.",3
"Like in most Tarantino movies also in this you have very long dialogues which one struggles to put in context. Only after watching it a few times you get the deeper meaning or link. But in Tarantino's latest movie for me it is almost not possible to get it. I even missed a cynicism or sarcasm. I found most dialogues just boring. However, the late sixties set, costumes and music gives a good feeling of that time. And after more than 2 hours the end is quite fulminant and Tarantino fans will love it.",4
"In this series there are strong languages , but the role of all characters of Dhindhora is main and performing of nine characters by one model is so expensive and also so hardworking.. So it is worth it .

Bhuvan bhai we love u😊",1
"I love Adam Sadler, but this movie was very annoying, with the stupid music playing in the back ground. Then there was a lot of yelling throughout the movie.",3
"This is an outstanding film. The story is good for the superhero-action part of the film. The villain is well acted by A. Molina. The real greatness of this film is how it incorporates a very human story involving the boy who plays spiderman and his own inner conflicts about being a superhero. The human story also involves his love for Mary Jane and her love for him. The human side plays a significant role in the film and makes it not just a great action film. Toby M. and Kirsten Dunst act brilliantly. If this were not an action film and were more politically correct, Mr. McGuire and Miss Dunst might have had a chance for an academy award nomination, which they both richly deserve. It is rather sad that great performances and great plots or sub-plots in action films are wholly and routinely ignored by critics when it comes to making their top ten lists and by awards voters--e.g. Golden Globes, Oscars, Bafta etc. Still, what matters is the quality of the film and Spiderman 2 is very high-quality from first scene to last.",9
"I'm only comparing it because just about everyone online is doing the same, but remember when A Quiet Place displayed relentless tension with a PG-13 rating and made great use of its cast in a contained setting? Well Bird Box has big great ideas with an even better cast, but chooses to rarely explore those ideas and talents to its full potential. A post-apocalyptic film based on the 2014 novel of the same name by Josh Malerman, focuses on a mother and her two children who navigate the terrifying landscapes of a world where a certain 'presence' is able to manipulate your brain into killing yourself if you look in its direction outdoors. Just reading what I just typed out could either make the film sound incredibly stupid or incredibly scary. It's neither. Director Susanne Bier establishes a creepy mood and tone throughout, but never follows through with any true horror or scares. The best way I can describe it as a sporting event that has all the hype and potential but due to several different circumstances is a slightly boring and extremely underwhelming piece of entertainment.

6.0/10",6
"I had heard so much about this intense, well crafted show. I was kind of looking forward to it. Mikkelsen and Fishburne are great. This was just...laughable. I hoped that maybe I'd get used to will Graham's actor ridiculous over-acting. The ""acting"" was so bad , and often so uncalled for, it made for humorous scenes that weren't meant to be. The plots of those first few episodes again, were funny. No excitement, no tension - out of the blue they run in and arrest ""the killer"". We kind of lose track of which killer master mind we're after. The guy planting for mushrooms...I mean...I don't even know what to say. How did he even make it out the door in the morning? Mainstream TV at it's worst.",2
"I really enjoyed watching first season, and was 9/10 season 2 was not good as the first!",9
"One of the greatest comedians of all time made a movie about Hitler and the Nazis and called it The Great Dictator. It was not a comedy. It was a masterpiece.

We can argue that this movie, Jojo Rabbit uses comedy to juxtapose tragedy and ridicule the Nazis and condemn them. But to do that, first the Nazis must become funny.

This movie humanizes Nazis.

Regardless of what it does with them later in the movie, young people of the 21st century who have no idea what Nazism is have spent time watching humanized and funny Nazis.

I don't do censorship, so everyone who wants can watch this movie, no problem.

I cannot condone humanizing Nazis and making Adolf Hitler cute and funny even to condemn them.",4
"Season 1 was very good and season 2 was decent. Season 3 is downright horrible. Weak writing, predictable, gore is about all it has... They started to go woke too and just took a near show and ruined it so fast.",1
Intrude love story everywhere you fools ... no focus on the reality.,1
"Well, This movie has nothing but action and the action is a kinda low class you know. There is no sense. Like I had just wasted my 2 pretty valuable hours of life by watching this movie. Yes, a life of a kid is important but the life of other people is also important I guess. But the director or the writer does not aware of this fact I guess. In the movie, tons of life has been blown like crackers. They must have been dreaming while making this movie cause who kills a couple of thousands of people to just save the life of a kid. You can think that I kinda rude but think about it properly. if the kid is captured by a terrorist group and there is no state's authority to do anything then somehow it is understandable. But no what we see the movie that a bunch of druglords pets capture that kid. ok so extract him from there. But no our mighty hero has gone too far. He just started a war with the state. Like he kills police and RAB and army personals just like a piece of cake. I have never seen this kind of stuff before like a war against the state by a hitman who works by a darknet hitman agency.

And this is not Bangladesh. There is no such drug lord in Bangladesh at all. And Yes many of our policemen are corrupted, sometimes they don't do their duty properly and sometimes they exercise the power beyond their jurisdiction. But when it comes to the safety of the people of Bangladesh, they act solid. They don't have all the types of equipment that they need. but when a situation arises, they are the most efficient force in this world. Believe it or not, they are. There is no need of RAB and Army at all, the police can alone handle this kind of situation easily.",1
"Did start to watch this series as I thought that it would be connected later with the other Marvel movies or series, however this have to wait...

If you like Egyptian Deity or scenes within tombs or idols, avatars and other spells, you will like this series. At one point, I even found this series a cross over between Indiana Jones and Batman, as psychology, archaology and supernatural are involved in this.

Oscar Isaac does a good job here as Steven/Marc, so's Ethan Hawke as the strange Arthur (and the psychologist in the Asylum). And May Calamawy as Leyla steals the show here. F. Murray Abraham is great as the voice of the intimidating Khonshu...

But will it be connected later with the ""Multiverse"" ? Wait and see...",8
The movie is different and is so engaging. There was not a moment where I was bored. Infact this movie is a good one by bollywood after a real long time. The concept is fresh and the movie is very entertaining. Full stars.,10
"You'll never going to hate this movie, as soon as possible!!

So, I finally watch the new Barbie movie in theatres, but as soon as I watch the movie, I'm very shy to see her in real-life at this point. Me and my niece, and my cousin went to the mall to watch this movie. Mario Movie is for kids, but Barbie was not either made for kids though, but it's a live-action movie. I rate this movie a perfect star 10/10.

In under a span of a month, it's official. The ""Barbie"" movie will surpass Mario Bros. Which is still standing on top of the box office. So now, I'm tired of people saying positive things about ""The Super Mario Bros. Movie"" and this is why the negative reviewers are getting crapped on because our reviews are our opinion that they don't like.",10
"I watched the first 2 episodes on the release and was left progressively disappointed. I struggled to find it entertaining, and to be fair, it all just flew past me, but the suspense it created fired my curiosity. I didn't want to write it off. I felt I had missed something and it was my fault. I checked the reviews here and they were either high or low.. I couldn't quite believe the 10's but it didn't seem to warrant the 1's either - It seemed far too early to condemn it. You need the first 3 episodes before you can even begin to start judging it. You will need patience, attention and an awareness of the source material to fully appreciate the initial episodes as it's setting the scene for where it's going and apparently setting up the next phase of the MCU.

I bought the comics as a kid and I've enjoyed the film's but I wouldn't call myself a hardcore Marvel nut.

After doing some YouTubing on episodes 1 and 2 to try to understand more of what was possibly going on, I rewatched the first episodes and really started to admire and thoroughly enjoy what they have created. I couldn't believe how much skipped past me. It's very, very, very clever. It's next level.

I think it's art. All of it.. from the acting to the sets to everything. You'll either love it or hate it I guess, but don't let the first 2 episodes put you off. It's very unique. I watched the 3rd episode today.. as soon as I possibility could. It's definitely got me sold.",7
"Due to my lack of Witcher knowledge, hopefully I can provide some insight as to what an average Netflix viewer would experience: utter confusion. I've never read a Witcher book or played a Witcher game, and apparently I needed to do both because I am three episodes in, and still have no clue what is going on. Henry Cavill is great, the acting from the other characters is good, but the writing seems to be weak and did I mention I have no clue what's happening. Maybe this show isn't meant for non Witcher fans, because it certainly feels that way.

I'll update this review as I continue to watch the show. Thus far I am just confused.",6
"Don't let the title fool you, ""The Amazing Spider-Man"" isn't as dark as the Batman movies, but still, it's too dark for Spider-Man. The first three had it right, Spider-Man is supposed to be lighthearted fun, a story about a nerd that has to make wise cracks to keep his sanity in the super hero game. Even as an adult he's still a nerd and still hasn't exactly grown up.

At least this keeps the nerd element. But most of the action is dark, again, too dark for the source material. And his teenaged years, they kept the nerd, but tried too hard to make you feel his inner pain. It's one thing to try to make the audience feel sorry for Peter Parker, but it just feel wrong to turn the story as much into a drama as they did.

There's nothing campy about this, and what humor there is falls short.

It was too soon for a reboot, and this one is lacking, they turned the Spider-Man story into something it isn't and as a result it's too hard for the awkward comic book loving dork to really identify with the character.",2
"First, I don't think they could have taken a better actor for Geralt as Henry Cavill. At times I like him even more than the Geralt in game, this role comes so natural to him there is no one that could have played it better.

Overall a very good show, I didn't read the book but I played witcher 1 and 2 and how many times I had oh that's exactly what happend in game.

Image quality is very good and sharp colorful scenes. The atmos track is not the best I heard. No flying dragons in the upper channels missed opportunity there, I do remember I heard the arrows flying above my head in the arrow scene but that's about it, but for a TV show the sound is better than most shows so I can't complain.

The only thing that made me take 2 points is the destruction of one of the finest main characters in the Witcher series. I can't comprehend why they did that to Triss, she went from basically Geralt's lover and main compagnon to a square that looks like she has not a grain of importance in the story, standing in the shadow of Yennefer... such a waste of a good character.",8
"My Name Is Khan MNIK

Watched from Dhanya theater...

balcony 90% 1st class hardly 20 people

Went to watch the movie without great expectations....But after the 1st half my opinion on the movie was very much high.....It was extremely refreshing to see SRK Kajol pair back....n good chemistry between them....And 1 st half was very much enjoyable as well as entertaining........

But half way round the 2nd half the film loses its ground and what to say its extremely pathetic from then on......During the last 40 min the film simply loses all the plus points it gained so far...So many emotion filled sub tracks makes the story simply complex-xx..... In fact it is an emotional torture during the last 40 min....each n everywhere Karan Johar tries to work out emotions...which simply gets you irritated.....Climax was made pretty ordinary......and ended in a rather cheap way...

Shah Rukh scores full marks with an excellent performance and excellently portrays Rizvan Khan..... Kajol was also beautiful and acted pretty well...in fact all the performances were above average.....but too many unnecessary castings makes the thing complex... Karan Johar was definitely not at his best form..... Avoiding at least one side line may improve the box office performance very much..i felt....

As expected this movie contains the same theme repeated in 2 movies previous year( New York n Kurbaan)......In fact i would rather watch Kabir Khans take on this theme(new york) two more times than watching Karan Johars take one time....as the previous one is far more entertaining n captivating than this one.....Anyway i liked it more than RNBDJ..n one among shah ruck khans best performance till date....music section being weak is a big big drawback

Still i cannot hate this movie just due to this last parts....it was pretty much good till then....and definitely a one time watch is recommended....

Overall 6.5\10",1
"Overrated and repetitive. Style over substance. There are real women Grand Masters they could have used to make a series about instead of using a fictional novel. And the actress, she needs a new set of acting facial muscles because limitation in range when it comes to acting also include nonverbal actions.",3

"GLASS ONION is a genre flick. How much you enjoy this movie probably depends on whether or not you are a fan of the mystery genre. The fun of the mystery genre comes from trying to guess whodunit. A crime has been committed (usually a murder), there is a long list of suspects. The suspects are all ""types"" created with broad strokes that are attractive to star actors because it allows them to chew the scenery before they get bumped off. The audience likes being surprised, especially when a character that you were sure was the culprit, ends up a victim. The sleuth is virtually the only character who has any subtlety. It's fun for actors and fun for mystery fans. The big-budget, all-star mystery has been around at least since the 70s with films like MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS, DEATH ON THE NILE, and THE LAST OF SHEILA. This is 2022's entry. In GLASS ONION, a world-famous sleuth (Daniel Craig) shows up for a murder mystery weekend party on a rich man's private island. He is embarrassed to find that his invitation was bogus and someone was playing a joke on the host. The host, however, gushes over him and is flattered that he's there. Hmmm. Who sent that bogus invitation and why? That's the first of many questions that will arise over the course of the film. The other guests are all rich, greedy, and obnoxious. Someone dies. Any of them could have done it. But which one? There are some gimmicks and tricks played on the audience, not to mention a few red herrings thrown on the trail. The cast appears to be having a good time. There are some laughs along the way. This is a good movie for socializing. You know, dinner and a movie? I think this would be a good choice. There's nothing terribly controversial about it and it will give you something to talk about together afterward.",6
"Like I said ignore the first episode, go back to it after you watch the series. Amazing series deep thought and intellect behind it. Some episodes might lack to some, others might pull you right into it. But definitely something worth spending time on.",9
"Daniel Craig delivers as always, and the other actors try, but ultimately it's just a bad script. Too many references to Covid and disposable pop culture that aren't going to age well. Too many convoluted twists and turns that think they are clever but really are just boring and lackluster. Reveals happen with no emotional payoff. It's barely even fun to watch, it's more of a chore to get through to see if it's really going to end as dumb as it starts. It feels like a low budget Netflix original but you can see the budget is way too high for the end product. The setting, actors, etc are all high dollar but completely wasted. Ed Norton is a great actor but they give him nothing to do here besides stand around and smirk. I'd say watch it only for Daniel Craig or if you are sick on the couch and might fall asleep halfway through. Two stars for Daniel Craig and maybe one more for the rest of the cast for attempting to play along.",3
"As usual Mads was such a perfect fit for the role of Hannibal... he always makes the perfect villain and just has such a natural sinister look! He's low key one of my favorite actors and I didn't even realize that till watching him in this series.

The only downside to this series imo is actually the actor playing opposite of Mads... Will Graham! Mr. I'm so much smarter than everyone else and so deep/complex 🙄 I thought his dry acting was just the role and hoped it might get better but it didn't. He's just so boring to watch and so weird in this role that it got to the point I couldn't stand seeing him on screen. I don't think it was necessary or helped the series along for him to be so out of it and to always have such a blank dumb look on his face! Not to mention such a shi++y shot with his handgun! Haha. I just found him overly annoying and borderline pathetic. In all fairness, there are a couple other bad actors like Abigail. She isn't believable in her role and also makes stupid dreadful faces. God she's terrible too. Watch, you'll see real quick.

Anyway, them aside, this is a near perfect series! I like when they know to quit while they're ahead, like Mr. Robot. Go out on top and leave the viewer wanting more! So few know that balance and end up ruining a good series all for a quick cash grab. You won't regret watching this show... Get started!",6
"I totally loved the book and couldn't wait to see this movie. I was so disappointed. This movie is so lame and utterly untrue to the work of genius that is the book. The story has been completely gutted and replaced with a just another OTT action flick full of absurd, bloated and unnecessary CG special effects. What a wasted opportunity.",5
"Worst money and time I've ever spent in the cinema. Maybe I'll remember this movie for ever because of how much it tested my patience not to leave the room. There might be a true meaning and real facts behind the story, but it is really a waste of time. No nothing there. If cinema is to entertain you, don't go. Didn't rate 1 because some scenes were very well done. A movie like this with not so many famous actors would never have success as this one apparently had.",2
"This movie...this is not a good movie. Oddly edited, with the same scenes shown over and over again, for no apparent reason. Poor characters, not really likable except the older dude. Bad action, the dogfight was OK the first time, but Black Sheep Squadron was better in the 70's.",5
Peacocks new streaming service starts in April and they are going to have a new Battlestar Galactica (I loved the original). I hope there watching Lost in Space to know how not to do SciFi reboots. This show is just plain bad. I'm on episode 6 of season 2 and don't know if I can tolerate watching the next 4. This series is so badly written it should bring criminal charges to all involved. Only redeeming things about this show is the sets and some of the CGI. I wouldn't recommend this show to anyone.,2
"Pros; good fight scenes and gore. Cavill is a great protagonist.

Cons; choppy plot, mumbled dialogue and pacing that skips gears.

It seems to me that in order to enjoy this thoroughly, one must've read the books and/or played the games.

I've done neither.

I'm 6 episodes in and still have no idea what's going on.

Pro tip for the writers;

If you're going to do a flashback episode AFTER important characters have been killed, DON'T JUMP BACK & FORTH IN THE SAME EPISODE.

It's confusing, therefore annoying. And annoying gets turned off.

It's not garbage. But all the hype is exactly that; hype.",5
"I have never been so bored watching a Marvel movie before.

Plot holes everywhere.

Long drawn out un-emotional, acting scenes. One went on for 45 minutes..... Disney is systematically, killing off Marvel.",3
"This is hand down the best writing episode I have ever seen, the entire backstory of gresha is so well done, I don't know why this episode rating is going down in top rated episode, Listen Breaking Bad fans I know you like to see your show on top of every list but please give this anime and episode a chance, I hate breaking bad fans now",10
"Some of this did have me on the edge of my seat, but I think everyone who knows the true story knows the outcome which means there's not much point stressing throughout the movie about whether they will get caught escaping.

I would have liked a bit more character background - even just 20 minutes would have made the movie a normal length still.

I agree with everyone else about the exaggerated bad accents.

It was entertaining but not enough to be called a thriller.",5
One of the best cartoon :) But how can they kiss the other although they are still under teenage?,10
This film is one of the best heart touching film changed my view. This is one of the gem of Indian cinema srk and kajol acting is fabulous. And this is film that all have to see once on life time,10
"When I saw the first episode, I thought this was going to be special; something that I will truly enjoy from marvel for the first time since Infinity Wars. But I was wrong and was let down by Marvel once more. You expect to see great things when you have Isaac and Hawk as two of the main charecters of a show but honestly, even their phenomenal work in this series, couldn't prevent it going down as just another Marvel adaptation following a formula which has been repeated numerous times in the past. It could have been much much more but in the end, it's just another ordinary show.",5
"Marvel does it again! What an excellent superhero movie, a must-see! This movie was everything I hoped Civil War to be. In addition to what you'd expect to this kind of ""action"" movie, the characters have a depth that is very palpable adding a psychological side to the story. The screenplay is nicely tied up, the action scenes very well choreographed and there is an amazing chemistry between the ensemble cast. Great acting too, the characters were spot-on! This movie is not your average good versus evil movie. It's much more a fight between ideologies which was really interesting to see. You see the Avengers split into two different sides and it is interesting to see the complexity behind their respective approach toward saving the world. I love the Marvel movies and this one is by far my favorite.",10
"Hollyweird continues to target the usual stereotypes, indulging in blatant racism, and a lack of self-awareness.

The premise is a cross between ""They Live"", ""Ground Hog Day"", AI becomes sentient, and every movie ever made about video game culture, i.e. Inaccurate and pandering.

The whole movie is a little off, and it spoils any potential enjoyment, of what looks like a lot of money and time spent on a mediocre offering.

Not even Dead Pool can make this piece of bigoted trash sustainable.",3
"The boys caught me at an age where I had grown up with the marvel universe, starting at ten watching iron man on DVD as it had come out. Eventually as we all do, I grew up, as did marvel's characters, leading up to endgame, upon which, if I were I a better and certainly smarter writer than I am I would pontificate on the meanings of the main character's (Tony Stark/Steve Rogers) death's and what that meant to the greater superhero genre in general however i'm not a cunt and so I won't.

The Boys and it's universe address a fact that Myself and a lot of other's think to be true. That a superheroes powers would be independent of their own personal beleif's and agendas. Few are good and decent folks, most are power and attention hungry monsters, seeing 'baseline' humans little more than invaluable meatsacks. Almost all viewer's will identify with hughie, a man irreparably assaulted and horrified by an indifferent ""supe"" (superhuman) he is then thrusted into a life of combat and general mayhem as he teams up with the boys to combat the ""supe"" threat.

It is a great show, especially if you're suffering from marvel fatigue, i'd recommend it to all those over 15/16 years old as it's veeeeery explicit (in all ways)

A huge standout is Antony Starr as homelander, he has really shown his acting abilities and range, flipping from absolute madman to calm and collected in nanosecounds, especially in season 3. Watch this damn show!!!",9
"This movie is another example that no matter in which language the movie has been shot or if the cast is widely known in PAN India or not, if the story is good than Indian masses will definitely watch the movie no matter what.

The movie's first half is packed with laughter and a little emotional sense and in the second half the movie takes a high hit emotional ride and ends with the sobbing eyes of everyone.",10
"Tarantino missed a great chance to make a masterpiece with this. Instead of delving into what motivated one of the most sinister murders in history, he centers on 2 has-been losers. And to top it all off, he changed history to boot. But the world doesn't live in a fairytale, Quentin. Bumbled opportunity.",5
"In spite of Oscar Isaac appearing in heaps of things I find his acting technically good but somehow always unaffecting. This character of mid-mannered, stupid, Steven Grant is no exception as once again he fails to generate any empathy for himself (except maybe for someone to slap him) or his 'scary' situations. To get any kind of thrill from the show I had to tune him out and focus on the CGI stuff which is not bad. Also great sound effects & music. Strangely, even Ethan Hawke can't shine in this production which shows top priority is on the SFX. I'm starting episode 3 but might not make it thru.",5
"I say it's nothing special and I'm not a Star Wars fanatic. I've never even seen the film people are so angry about, so my review is based purely on my experience of watching this film, Knives Out.

I definitely expected more. If it's meant to be amusing, it pretty much failed on that score. This film would be better suited as a TV movie, if they even make them anymore, or something to pop up on Netflix. I didn't pay to see it and I'd feel I'd wasted my money if I had.

Visually it was enjoyable-I mean the location, the house, the production values. the family members were an unattractive bunch, so nothing to look at there. Daniel Craig's ""southern"" accent became grating after awhile, and I was squirming a bit with boredom, waiting for it to be over. And, when it was, my reaction was ""So what? Who cares?"" I can hardly remember any of it and I just watched it in the last couple of hours.

Convoluted, unrealistic and tedious, like a lot of Agatha Christie stories. How this has ended up on some people's Best Films of 2019 lists is beyond me. It was okay; nothing special.",5
"The movie is enchanting, the songs are gorgeously choreographed in picteresque settings. The efforts at initial composition of the 'Piu Bole' song, and the boat swaying to rhythm, are so natural! Loleeta's expressions with her eyes are uncanny and most beautiful. The movie has the feel of an art exhibit. I can't decide whether I like more the sad songs or the happy songs. The actors are most natural.

Disc two 'special features' is also spell binding. To see Director Prodeep Sarkar act out the parts for Shekhar and Loleeta is an eye opener. Director Sarkar sees every thing in his mind and then recreates it on film overcoming all obstacles. I loved how the music director Shantanu Moitra and Vidhu Vinod Chopra work on the composition of the 'Piu Bole' song. Director Sarkar's successful efforts in grooming Vidya are noteworthy.

A personal note: I visited Calcutta for a month each year from 1955 through 1967, and then lived there till 1970. My father knew he would pick the right girl for me, any girl I might pick would be well beneath my status! The girl I picked wore the simple necklace I gave her every day for the two years before I married her, and every day for the thirty years since I have married her.

This movie is a must see, and I own a Two Disc set to see again and again!",10
"Although this movie as a whole was entertaining, it had it's moments when you were looking at your wristwatch wondering when the next ""good scene"" would arrive. Although romance is good in a comic book & its big screen counterpart, it shouldn't be the heart of the movie. My feeling is that Sony Pictures was trying to target a larger co-ed audience and not target specifically the males exclusively. In addition to the romance storyline, the story further developed the life and emotions of Peter Parker and the effects of his uncle's death towards him and Aunt May.

Another key point is that this movie needed more action between the villain and hero. Spidey's key nemesis isn't introduced in full-villain form until almost 45 minutes into the movie. Aside from fiscal/possessional gain, Doc Ock doesn't have any real purpose for opposing Spidey. Also, there isn't but about 10 minutes of dueling between the two of them.

As far as the acting goes I think Maguire does not fit the mold of Spidey. I have a lasting image of the constipated look on Parker's face as he's trying to long jump the gap between the two buildings. The best acting in the movie would belong to J.K. Simmons (J.J. Jameson).

Any true Spider-Man fan will like the movie for the comic nature of it alone, but will still be longing for the ultimate comic-book-to-big-screen conversion that I haven't seen since Tim Burton's Batman.",7
"RATED 8/10 Language: English Source: Nil RECOMMENDED

This one is solid drama with lengthy presentation. This is start with good cinema introduction and later it becomes more of family drama.

The presentation and Spielberg touch was there from the beginning to end. The way he explored the cinema and family issues are so great. This drama has lot of moments which are so remarkable the way it was picturised.

The way the climax shot tilts and his mothers reaction on closet while watching the clip are so awesome to watch.

On the downside, it is bit lengthy and more of drama towards end than entertainment.

Worth the watch and Must watch for all cinema lovers. I thought it will surpass ""Cinema Paradiso"" but it is definitely second to that.",8

"At this point you should really know what your getting from these ""Conjuring"" movies. But i like most of them, and this is probably the best ""Annabelle"" spinoff.

I enjoyed the movie for what it is. But what it is is nothing new. It's the usual mixed bag of demons and ghosts. But there are more good scares here than bad.

Overall its a decent creep fest, with some stand out moments and some random rubbish ones. The whole cinema audience jumped a few times. Which made for a good night out. So if your into these movies, you should check this one out for sure.",7
"I won't get too deep on this one.

I'm not an HP fan as such (I have never read the books) but have generally found the movies to be enjoyable enough.

For me the best part of this movie is that we are finally getting close to the end of the saga (and to think people complain about the length of Lord of the RIngs!!)

A plus for the movie...they managed to maintain the cast as well as the quality of the films unlike Police Academy hahaha.",7
"The story makes no sense, the dialogues make no sense, the characters make no sense. This movie is a competition to all the previous debacles from Netflix.",2
"(Rating for the full series is a 9 so far, 8/10 for the sixth season).

Black Mirror is a classic TV show at this stage, a bold dystopic depiction of how our relationship with technology can take some really dark turns and be the cause of some bizarre and scary situations in our future.

But Black Mirror is way more than just a show about the bad effects of technology in our society since it also explores some really interesting themes of human behavior, I would argue that this is actually what the show is about, how we humans will behave when equipped with these new technical tools with an infinite amount of potential, and let me tell you, based on the dark minds of the people behind the show the future seems really gruesome!

Being an anthology all episodes are completely independent from each other, some are way better than others so its hard to rate an entire season since some of the best episodes are scattered among all six of them (so far).

The show usually mixes drama with suspense, mystery and sometimes a slight pinch of comedy, but one thing is certain, your anxiety levels will without a doubt be continuously high for most episodes.

As I mentioned you have amazing episodes across the series, sometimes it's due to the technology being highly creative, other times its just that the story is really amazing in any case they are for the most part compelling episodes.

You have some that seem a bit pointless or its hard to understand the underlying message but overall its a really great concept.

Addressing this last season in particular, I really enjoyed it, in comparison to the previous one which felt a bit blend it amped up its game, curiously enough there were a few episodes that went a bit outside of your usually technology driven narrative but contrary to what people are saying it wasn't completely void of it - two of them are social commentary about streaming services which lets not forget might not be advanced tech to today's standards but its a major technological revolution.

And the last episode was completely outside of your usual Black Mirror type but was really good, it was more of a psychological / horror approach but I really found it enjoyable, great character chemistry! The series doesn't have a roadmap its okay to go a bit outside of the standard from time to time specially in an anthology TV show.

Go watch the sixth season and don't be stuck in the pre conceived ideas of what it should look like, enjoy the change - with this being said if they keep doing more seasons I do hope they go for more grim technological scenarios in the future as some of the classic old school ones of the early seasons!",9
"I love J.K Rowling and her novels but film is film, and novel is novel. They're different. Don't let a novel writer do write movie script. Film need a real movie writer. I quitely like Newt, he's an unique character and Eddie did his great job and he's worthy of an Oscar winner. But they let him say stupid lines in awkward situations cause indirectly ruin this movie. The ""Fantastic"" Beasts movie is not ""Fantastic"" at all.The ending is so dissapoined, The villain beast reminds me of F4's Galactus or stupid flying pixel pieces robot in Transformer 4, despite of great visual effect. After all, this movie could be better. But it isn't.",5
"That such a derivative and badly-done movie is the most popular film in the United States at the moment is saddening. The inevitable CGI FX (for what it's worth, better than any seen before) coupled with awful acting on Reeves' part and a plot structure that allows for about an hour and a half of exposition all add up to... one over-hyped blockbuster. And what's that romantic interest all about? Accck! I'm voting 1 on this one out of spite. Please have mercy, Keanu! The most edifying thing about The Matrix is the main characters' clothing.",2
"I watched the first 5 episodes before pulling the plug. This whole show is high-concept gone mad. It might have sounded cool having the show look like a different sit-com every week but it was a gimmick that wore thin after ten minutes.

The other problem is Vision and Wanda really aren't all that interesting. Good side kick characters in a big movie like the Avengers Infinity War, etc, but fairly boring when they are the mains.

Well, as you can see, it's not a series for me. I'm glad others are getting something out of it though. But I will be tuning into something else.",2
"It's fun and fast-paced. Robert Downey Jr. delivers again, with all the cast doing great jobs. Contrary to popular (critic) belief, Iron Man 2 brings another enjoyable superhero film to watch. The storyline continues to unfold, the action and effects are nice, and the actors all did well.

Whatever complaints other people might have on the story, the events, the lack of or excess of - it may be true, but that doesn't make it less of a great movie. Iron Man 2 was more character driven, and you truly do see many of the past characters and new ones develop. Thanks to the well-picked cast, all of the characters were fun to watch. They gave emotion and humor together, and I'm too lazy to talk about each of them individually, but Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark was definitely the savior of the whatever flaws the movie has. As he said himself, he is Iron Man, and his personality made the movie very lively.

As expected, you got to see awesome Iron Man action with lots of explosions and whatnot. Some might say that there was too much mindless blasting, like Transformers, but that's what made it fun. It mixed in with the characters evenly I think, and it's an overall great and fun movie throughout.

Not saying it didn't disappoint in some parts (which it did), but you can't please everyone. I find the first Iron Man to be better, but that was because it was a new, cool idea that just bursted out. However, Iron Man 2 continues as a worthy sequel. People just need to sit back and appreciate what's there.

The ""ending"" is cool, too. Make sure to watch past the credits.",8
"Whilst writing this review, it asks me at the bottom of the page if it contains spoilers.

Well, yes it does. As when I say it's quite easily in the top 10 of the worst films I've ever watched and what I'm doing is saying it's a terrible film. I suppose that could classify it as a spoiler. No I'm not describing any events that happened in the film far from it....as watching a spot on the wall would be more entertaining than this complete and utter dross... Not only is it terrible, but you could also throw in a lot of swear words in also to emphasise even more how dreadful the film is.... Do yourself a huge favour. Don't watch this.",1
"I waited until they hype died down before watching this movie, I could have waited another one or two ... YEARS! This is a typical Marvel's movie, they spent 15 minutes chasing the bad guy, and two hours fighting among themselves. It was boring in many places, but you keep watching hoping the next scene will be better, it wasn't.

I can see why the Black movie goers flocked to theaters and dropped serious coin to see this trash. Before whoever is reading this get your drawers in a bunch I'm a Black movie goer and I really shouldn't have gone to see this.

The movie made no damn sense, the only thing missing was the Pimps and Hookers and Drug Dealers. I gave it three stars cause it ended. You'd really have to be starved for black entertainment to watch this more than once, and once because you were duped into it.

Just once MARVEL, I'd like to see you make a movie where the Heroes are fighting each other and out making a damn difference, every movie has the same concept, and quiet frankly it SUCKS! But whatever works right?

I can only imagine The Avengers Infinity Wars with 40+ characters running around all vying for time, but that's another story. Foe me lets leave The Black Panther running around the jungles of Wakanda.",3
"Barbie is a vibrant and subversive film brought to life by Greta Gerwig with infectiously chaotic energy. The production design is exquisite and the cast is absolutely stacked with great actors and great performances.

Margot Robbie is magnificent and Ryan Gosling absolutely knocks it out of the park.

Gerwig and Baumbach have created a thematically rich satire that manages to be heavy-handed in its messaging, while sometimes feeling a tad bit too preachy it mostly satisfies. By taking an iconic IP like Barbie in such an unexpected and mature direction, this film is able to instantly crown itself a classic. In an era where Hollywood loved to play it safe, Barbie's boldness reminds us of the power of doing things differently and taking big swings. The film is little over-the-top at times, but it never stops being pure cinematic fun. In the second act the film looses itself a bit, which I think is due Gerwig wanting to make to many statements at once. But the third act puts the focus back on the central aspects and pulls some existencial strings. Gerwig manages to give a beautiful closure to the story while at the same time leave the audience with an uplifting message for BOTH genders.

As a man, I get why some would feel discomfort watching this movie, thats okay, but giving it a one star rating for that is absolutely ridiculous. This is a great crafted piece of cinema and no less. Greta Gerwig didn't intend to give a balanced perspective of men versus women with Barbie. She made a no-holds-barred unapologetic crazy ride of a rant about the real issues that women have faced since they were ""allowed"" to have ""real jobs"" and do the same things as men.

I love blockbusters that aren't afraid to take risks and Barbie is one of the most risky blockbusters in recent memory - and one that absolutely succeeds.",7
"This show has a serious mood; there's no humor or excitement to get your heart racing. However, it does shed light on expat life, especially from a housewife's perspective, which hits close to home for expats like us. Reminding us of the good time there. It's heartbreaking to see everyone leaving Hong Kong now due to all the chaos. Such a fantastic city, and let's hope this show won't end up being the last historical record of its finest moments. The camera work is a letdown, though. It feels too confined and doesn't capture the true essence of modern Hong Kong's awesomeness. This episode clearly is just sets the scene for the story. If you're not into expat life or Hong Kong, it might be a bit boring. Farewell, Hong Kong.",8
"Each episode has such a weak concept and leaves me asking what was the point?

The characters are completely inconsistent with power levels and nothing really makes sense even within their own universe or multiverse they try and explain.

Bologne technique of throw random idea at the wall and whatever sticks gets made.

The potential characters and amazing stories they could have used from the comics would have been a much better What if?",3

"America loves zombie apocalypse movies and this is another variation on the theme. Good acting fails to make up for genuine thrills in this outing and one sits there thinking""I guess I'm supposed to be scared in this scene."" A Quiet Place, to which this movie has been unfairly compared, is genuinely scary, this one is an acceptable manufactured outing, graced by a major movie star (Bullock) and by a way-too short turn by the wonderful Sarah Paulson. The initial premise -- that anyone who opens their eyes out of doors will go mad and commit suicide -- could be an allegory for anyone who follows Trump, but the real world is scarier than this invented version. Shades of Charlton Heston's Omega Man or Will Smith's remake I Am Legend (which blew it for a sequel when the producers filmed a second, cheesy ending that killed Smith off) come to mind that provided much greater thrills and chills. If you want to see an incredibly scary, beautifully realized forever-classic example of a zombie apocalypse movie that will nail you to your seat in excitement watch the dazzling South Korean movie Train To Busan, with myriad twists and turns and characters you really care about. (When will Hollywood buy it and totally destroy it in a dumb as a brick remake? I beg you, watch the original!) Bird Box can only be described as a halfway decent effort in the horror/zombie genre that fails to rise to the occasion. READ MY LIPS: WATCH TRAIN TO BUSAN!",4
"After reading all the glowing reviews, especially about how this film is one of the best of the decade I had to see it for myself- the plot it self wasn't anything ground breaking, and while the technical aspect of the film were flawless and i enjoyed it for the first hour, the ending was a total let down (lots of plot holes that I won't get into here) I agree with some other reviewers, the Park family weren't your typical rich snobs, the father worked for his money and came home home and was always there for his children and polite to the domestics, the problem was the family was just too darn naive and foolish, but not terrible people by any means, all in all just a mixed bag, Shoplifters was a much more engaging and heart felt piece of foreign cinema, and I highly recommend watching that!!",6
"I had zero expectations. And I'm tired of superhero/antihero movies.

"By far, this is the widest, deepest, most-detailed, and best- choreographed of marvel movies. In this movie, marvel distinctly send message that superhero genre is not on the fringe of degradation. It erase all the cynical and doubts feeling from people. Of course if we seek for the realism action, there are no such thing in superhero genre. In my opinion, a superhero genre needs to be rated in different perspective than a normal action film. Thats also happens for CGI. Still, civil war (which solely captain America franchise, not avengers or bigger context) is complete as a film. It consist of well-directed storytelling, good character performance (especially Downey), good jokes, and very good choreography (especially airport scene). Russo brothers did well to made choreography for captain America winter soldier and he did it again in civil war. This director develops in a nice way.

Civil war got some good rating from metacritic. Its not a surprise, because to be honest this movie is good in such way even as superhero genre. Definitely, its not overrated or underrated, it is correctly rated. There are some strong-point that makes civil war is one kind of movie that given so many applause by audience at the end. First, i highlights the team work choreography. Even with so many character casted, there are no wasted superhero. Everybody takes their part precisely with an accurate duration given by the director. Each superhero contains their unique characterization so the character development is greatly well-done. Some funny, some charismatic, and some cool. One thing that prove this statement is at the airport fight. Intense, tough, and hilarious. The superhero combination was marvelous. The fights full of surprise and good choreography, everybody express their unique.

The second was its balance. Russo successfully add good portion of jokes, intrigues, and their character development duration. Superhero genre also can be something that beautifully made if brewed by a right formula. Imagine if there are no spiderman, maybe there are no jokes or cool moments right. Russos brave enough to add spiderman and black panther even without their solo movie before and it gives a huge impact to the film itself. Yes, this movie keeps making surprise to audience as the duration goes on. This also one of the strong point of civil war.

Third, civil war carried so much by the charisma of Robert Downey JR. We should give credit to this talented actor. To play the role as a superhero is not easy, because you need to be balanced between physical, imagination, and acting skill. You need to be agile in fighting scene, have a good body, and deliver good acting. Yet, you need great portion of imagination because superhero basically using CGI shots, so you need to imagine how the final editing could be from raw green screen shots. Thats why we never met such a good characterization of superhero before. But today, i found one person that truly pass it, yes the iron man by Downey. His acting skill always evolving since his three iron man movies. In civil war, Downeys performance was on the apex level. He successfully mastering the character of tony stark the iron man with rich-man gesture, intellectual person, and funny. The expression and charisma he had is so striking.

Objectively, i can say Civil War was marvels best. This is how superhero genre movie could and should be. Maximizing their characters with a balance of storytelling and amazing superheroes teamwork choreography. Even a little bit too dragging, I truly recommend this movie.",8

"After reading all the hype i decided to watch it. I just wish i had'nt.

Maybe i was expecting something else, maybe IT should have been something else. I can say this, if you think you are going to enjoy being in Japan on your own, forget it, unless you can find a friend. This seemed to be the main thrust of the film, although it could be true of any country, where you do not know the language or customs. I did like the insight into Japanese life that you were presented with, however i could have bought a National Geographic DVD for that. The film needed something else to get it going, and i sort of hoped all the way through that the moment would come. Alas it never did. If you must watch it, do so, everyone sees things differently, this was just too different for me.",1

They didn't put too much into the story and by the end i was wondering what the whole point of the movie was. I watched the first in the theatre and this I streamed at home, good choice.

Tbey could have done so much more with sequel and it kind of felt like winner woman 1984 in being a pointless sequel that spoilt rather than took the franchise forward.",4
"When the audience laughs at every line the hero utters, but it's not a comedy, that's NOT a good sign. I loved the FX, fight choreography, art direction, costumes, and the performances of Fishburne and Weaving. The film has a not-braindead plot and a couple of genuinely memorable, chilling images. But I found Reeves, the dialog, and the pacing appalling. Great action pictures deliver on all fronts: this one had me looking at my watch. A shame, really.",5
I have been watching this film well beyond the point of reason just to see how ridiculous it can get. If a person is able to survive certain dangerous situations a minimum expectation is that said person will demonstrate the skills necessary to come out alive. Neither the author of this story nor the screenwriter deemed it necessary to provide the protagonist with any such skills. This film's only redeeming feature for me is that the dog is nice.,2
This movie is one big shallow cliché with a few sex scenes with Lawrence to trick the audience. There is nothing more to it. Predictable and silly script ticking all the boxes of how to portray Russians as cold and brutal people. It's just a b-rated movie lacking more intense sex scenes.,1
"So Rooney is a young bimbo who thought of writing a novel where man is like in her dreams: athletic, with muscles and things, but soft, with no personality, always agreeing and apologizing and always available for a quick one. And the female character is as dull as the writer. Except for her face in some angles, Daisy Marianne is totally unattractive and with crooked legs. She walks so ugly and even more so with higher heels which accentuate her legs' shape. So Rooney was successful as there are out there in the world millions of bimbos who dream of the same sex toy boy. Then they turned her substanceless erotic dreams into a boring series! 12 episodes of no story and of nothing happening. Except, of course, for the necessary commercial eroticism. And the dullest dialogues possible as if there were taken from the Facebook messenger. The general score of above 8 comes from the multitude of dreaming bimbos.",4
"This show fails miserably in delivering any semblance of entertainment. The premise of a juror unknowingly participating in a fake trial could have been an interesting concept, but the execution was abysmal. The show's pacing is excruciatingly slow, and the lack of engaging characters or meaningful plot developments makes it utterly unwatchable.

Rather than keeping viewers on the edge of their seats with suspense and intrigue, ""this show left me struggling to stay awake. It is a mind-numbing exercise in tedium that I regretfully wasted my time trying to endure. I don't recommend watching this show.",1
"Another pedestrian movie from Disney's Marvel Universe. Overblown battle scenes, dubious plot and tepid acting except for Samuel L. Jackson and Jake Gyllenhaal. I've seen most Spiderman flicks, but this one ranks at the bottom of the pack in my book.

"It was a clear red flag for me when I saw the characters strutting around in their masks and instantly knew that I should brace myself for more predictive programming by the Hollywood mafia. And I was right. Their object to demonize in this movie is the clean hydrogen energy. Sure, it's dangerous and still a lot needs to be done in that sector to make it safer and suitable for mass production, but the way this movie projected it, felt like this movie had the backing of some Big Oil finance.

One only needs to listen to The Hydrogen Podcast on Youtube to realize that this new clean and cheap energy source is making some people in the ""fossil"" fuel and hydroelectric industries really uncomfortable. No wonder these people will try to nip this upcoming giant before sprouting its head.

As far as the story and acting goes, I loved it. Hence, I decided to show some mercy and give it a 3.",3
"This may go against the grain, but I don't like Amanda Seyfried in this role. She's not creepy enough; you don't notice the unblinking stare, the artificially low speaking voice and the other prototypical Elizabeth Holmes traits as much as you should. Frankly, the real Holmes was hard to look at, listen to and take seriously, and all of it was supremely noticeable. (I say ""was,"" since she projects something/someone utterly different now with her age-appropriate, trust-fund-baby boyfriend.) Seyfried has mentioned that their script referred to Elizabeth 1.0 (pre-Theranos teenager and eventual Stanford dropout) and Elizabeth 2.0 (buttoned-up, automaton CEO), so I guess now we're firmly in the Elizabeth 3.0 era. The HBO documentary, ""The Inventor,"" is much better at giving a true picture of the Elizabeths. I give this fictionalized version 6 out of 10 stars.",6

"Brilliant TV adaptation of a lot of short stories from The last wish and Sword of Destiny books. The world building is great. Soundtrack is better than what I expected and shown in trailers. Fight choreography is insane and comparatively better than all of the tv series I have watched till date.

Henry Cavill is nailing the role of Geralt. I dont have good expectation from Yennefer but she is also giving her best to the role. also As this is only prologue to the main Witcher saga, We can expect a lot from further seasons. Only bad thing is that after binge-watching season 1 I feel empty as I know we have to wait till 2021 for season 2.

And remember don't trust critics reviews they know nothing about Witcher books and games especially The Witcher 3.See audience score it is currently at 93 % on rotten tomatoes. Thats all matters.

As I have played Witcher 3 I know how much potential this series have if done correctly. Can't wait for season 2.",8
Kate winslet shines in the darkness of this story. That keeps you engaged from the first episode with interesting twists and turns a strong cast and a good pace.

"Seriously. Is this movie really that great that it deserves all of the perfect 10s?

OK, I will agree that Heath Ledger as the Joker was absolutely amazing and I genuinely loved any part that he was in. BUT... he was only in it for approximately 25% of the movie. The rest of it, in my opinion, was often slow, a little boring and sometimes confusing. It makes me wonder whether people are rating the Joker in isolation and not the movie as a whole.

But then again, maybe I'm just not a Batman kinda girl - I didn't enjoy Batman Begins either...

Sorry... I really wanted to like it!",6

"Best villain ever , mads mikkelsen what a great performance",10
Waited years to see this movie with high anticipation and was grossly disappointed in both the dialog and just plain dumb acting. How MacDormand ever got an Oscar for best actress in a minimal role that all I saw was a incompetent police chief stuffing herself in almost every scene with minimal if not limited dialog ranks as the biggest ripoff of other more deserving actors that lost to this incompetent role. How this movies being ranked at 8.6 shows me there are a lot of people that have no idea what a good movie is. This wass a sham to see a real life event recreated in this way that even the Blur-ray went straight into the garbage because I would be embarrassed to have someone else be tortured in viewing this.,1

"Not much more to add. I thought the previous 2 seasons were fun and enjoyable. Season 3: nothing really adds up or makes sense; the hotel and all that follows is merely a chaotic medley of themes that have been dealt with before, long and boring stories with references to modern life and issues, transferred to the comic setting of the series. The wedding and everything around it becomes a farce given the genre and I don't understand Elliot Page and why he wasn't able to keep his personal story out of this fiction or why it has been depicted in that manner. Makes no sense at all and sort of shocked me; not because someone's personal story of change would shock me, but how uninspired it is being dealt with.",5
"That's it. I lasted 30 minutes or so until I fell asleep on the couch. Occasionally woke up when someone was shouting or banging on something. Or explosions or crashes. Then turned it off.

I read an interview that Rian assembled a cast of actors he wanted to hang out with and have a fun party. The 30 minutes I saw reflected that hope, where the Elon character hoped to create fun times for his minions. Everyone put on their Rian-assigned mask and acted the witty tropes assigned to them in scenes orchestrated to deliver a dose of clever-Rian.

The best part of the movie is that I didn't last long enough to have to complain about the ending.

I thought the mechanical box was cool enough for 2 stars.",2
"This series has a great atmosphere, which is created by the interaction between the main characters, the setting, crazy plots and really interesting personalities.

Huge talents who really give something to their audience.

There is such and undeniabel charm, humor and sophistication, that I simply can't wait to see the next episode.

The main characters become people you feel you know, and they are joined by a cast of incredible talented people who all contribute to that particular vibe of the show.

Difficult to compare it to anything else, but the Vibe i am geeting is akin to Grand Budapest Hotel and similar movies and series with a strong narration and quirkiness.

Love it.",10
"Forget ""Flashpoint"". ""Ip Man"" shows Donnie Yen at his brutal best. Telling the story of Yip Man, the man believed to have popularized the martial art of Wing Chun, before and mostly during the Sino-Japanese war.

Yen caught my attention after seeing him in ""SPL"". Then in ""Flashpoint"", I was stunned by his moves, and thought he was the next Jet Li. Well, after this I think he may very well be the next Bruce Lee. I mean it! Not only injecting humanity and superb characterization, Yen also demonstrates his brutality when it comes to fighting. And boy, it does not get more brutal than this! Seriously, Yen's fists move like machine gun bullets. And he makes sure that his opponents are down for the count... at their expense, and our enjoyment. Definitely Yen at his bruising best.

Other actors worth mentioning, Simon Yam and Hiroyuki Ikeuchi as Ip Man's business partner/friend and the Japanese General respectively. The former portrays Ip Man's comrade with heart, while the latter performs with steely resolve and honor. This is a film that is not just made with action, but a good story as well.

The fight scenes here are arguably Yen's best so far, and the best in over a decade. People are getting beaten, martial arts duels are taking place, and blood is spilled. This is not an action movie, it's a kung fu movie. And it shows. Legendary kung fu star Sammo Hung brilliantly choreographs the fight scenes to perfection, and it looks like he's not going to slow down any time soon. The direction by Wilson Yip is slick and gripping as always, and he also gives the film a nice sepia tone to give feeling to the film.

In short, great. This is a must-see for kung fu film fans to get their adrenal glands pumping. It's one of the best kung fu films of the decade. See it if you have the chance.

Overall: 7/10",7
"The unwanted thing is starting to happen. :( Episode 4 turned into another walking dead guerrilla, crazy, psicho people drama.

Damn it had so much to offer and just like that it gave so quick.

Why do the writers are so lazy?!

Why producers dont listen the critics and opinions?

American tv shows are in a downfall, the rest of the world will be doing what lazy american movie and tv industry wont do which is create real and original new content that surprises and make us dream.

I expected more of you HBO. Ill give one more try for next episode. If doesnt turns to a complete different thing than walking dead i quit.",6
"I'm so sick of apocalypse/monster films that feel the need to focus in heavily on the tribulations and emotions of their cast of protagonists without actually caring to design interesting protagonists. If you're going to make a movie like this, either put all your effort into the danger itself and the unique story you can derive from its existence or write characters that are even slightly notable. Malorie (the main protagonist) is such a bland character for no reason; in the opening they establish her as an artist with biting sarcasm and then they throw any personality she has out the window as she just becomes ""woman who hates apocalypse"". Gary, who comes in about halfway through the movie, is instantly and inexplicably more compelling than any of our previous protagonists and if you've seen the movie you'll know that's not really a good thing. In fact, the sooner a character dies (unrelated to Gary) the more interesting they typically are, which I unfortunately see a whole lot in these sorts of movies and it slowly whittles the cast down to the blandest characters because the audience can project themselves on them more easily, I guess.

I should note that the monster was fine, since a lot of peoples' issue with this movie was that there was no explanation or elaboration on the monster; I find that can totally work, and no answers are needed to make for an interesting plot, but you do need SOMETHING interesting beyond just the existence of the monster. Aside from that, the shooting of the film was actually pretty good and as I said before there were some likeable characters, so despite what I've said my rating of this film is higher than I expected, but it's very close to getting lower. I'd only recommend this to people who are so heavily into the premise that they can see past the primary boredom.",6

"The same theme as ""A quiet place"" but not as good.

I don't know why netflix films are generally average. This movie is a little above but still couldn't expoit the plot to it's full potential.

Watchable with some good moments, but not as intense or emotionally involving as ""A quiet place"".",6
"I don't usually write reviews, but I felt compelled to applaud this series out loud. It was not the quirky, funny teen comedy or the overly heavy angsty drama that I expected. It tells the story of two very unlikable people definitely swimming against the stream and the pitfalls of not being 'normal', but then it gets dark. Real dark. For all its very serious examination of trauma and the resultant behavioural changes, the series still manages to be quite funny. This is not the uproarious laughter of a crowd pleasing rom-com, but the surprise laughter of two people in the audience when everyone else is quiet, or the brief exhalation with a smirk of recognition. These characters are difficult, just like people we know and love.

The writing and acting are fantastic, bang on. Not a missed beat anywhere. Great music that actually feels like it moves the story forward and gorgeous filming locations. Above all of this, though, is a call to reexamine our treatment of mental health issues and of people who commit crimes. Throughout the show, we see how people end up thinking the way they do and making the choices that they make. It is seemingly a plea for a more understanding justice system that considers people redeemable and more than the accumulation of decisions that we make.

I cannot recommend this show enough. I look forward to more from all of the creators of this show.",9
"One of Indian cinema's masterworks. I'm not sure how many times I've seen this film. When I watch this movie, it still feels new and exciting. Manirathan Shahrukh, Manisha, AR Rahman, and Santosh Shivan make an excellent team. Amazing music and BGM. Never feel bored in any scene.

"I never understood why this movie has such a high rating. I've seen it many times over the years and every time it feels like i'm watching it for the first time, because its not a memorable film.

I like that the movie takes its time. It really dives into character building and getting to know everyone more. But it overdoes this to the point that the movie loses its momentum and becomes slow. It's a very simple plot and yes there are twists and turns which make it fun. But at the same time it's almost boring because of how slowly its brought out. The action is lacking. And some of the action scenes are too quick to follow with how much the camera cuts from scene to scene.

One of the big things I did not like about the movie is how they show the Black Widow. They have her weak, vulnerable and needy. She needs the strong Captain America to save her all the time. She's afraid. And that isn't her character. It's the only movie they downplayed her too much. The other odd thing is the flirting between her and Captain. Just no please. It's odd too, they keep hinting to relationships, but there isn't one. We don't get to experience a high bond between characters in this movie. They tried to do this with the Falcon and Natasha but it fell short.

The one thing I did find, this was the first time I had seen Agent Carter and Agents of Shield first before watching this movie. It helped a lot. Watching the Marvel series along side the films make them fall into place better and makes me feel a deeper loss for what happened to Shield. But it also made this movie feel more like an information filler movie that was building up to the upcoming movies. It was setting up new characters that would soon come into light.

Not a bad movie, but not my favorite.",6
"If you are under 12, you might find this movie exciting, but just because the movie has digitally animated characters doesn't make it good- just a glorified cartoon. Personally, I found the 1970's/80's special effects much more realistic looking (Remember some of the characters from the first three Star Wars movies?) The plot of Avatar is nothing new- a bunch of greedy/irresponsible scientists and military planning to invade/exploit a harmless bunch of natives.

The main female avatar was especially annoying- whiny, unstable and hostile- but hey, isn't how most female characters are (unfortunately) portrayed on TV and in movies these days? If you saw Avatar because it was 3D, the effects were pitiful compared to those (albeit very gory effects) of My Bloody Valentine or The Final Destination.",4
Boring compared to thre rest out there. Hoped a bettwr performance from the actors. Not worth it,1
"This happens so often. Hollywood churn out these so called masterpieces and it gets viewers excited about another 'wow' of a film. That being said, Hollywood has also failed at given us a masterpiece, and viewers have been failed by the major critics also.

Positively, the scenic shots in the film are very good. It sets the tones well, and creates the moods needed. Acting is fine throughout, At first it is easy to blame the actors for some of the negatives that I will mention shortly, but having thought long and hard about it, I feel that the actors done the best they did.

And that's it.

Negatives come thick and fast in this feature. It starts with the disconnecting storyline, leaving the viewing more stranded and confused than the acting lead. I have no issues with a touch of confusion or the slight misleading of direction if it is part of the style of the film. Sadly, 12 Years a Slave leaves you trying to work things out at various scenes when trying to absorb the story. Very distracting. Some of the scenes go into the graphic torture of the lead but in other areas it leaves your mind to do the math but sadly this never works because the story does not connect the dots.

The story itself is very drawn out, making it feel like a 5 hour feature, and it could have been told in half-an-hour. This was possibly due to the overshot scenes of nothing. Scenes where the lead just breathes for about a minute of screen time. Scenes from the plantation, of workers in the heat, but the camera remaining there for ages. These scenes had no benefit to the film other than to be fancy. I don't mind the artsy stuff, but when it prolongs the agony, it stands out very clearly. This is a big failing of Hollywood and the big critics, they like the artsy stuff, but then seem to forget about the story. This is usually followed up with a string of Oscars... and the story repeats again and again.

There is also no concept of time/year, maybe that's a good thing as this is possibly how the lead actor feels so this could go either way.

I don't really think it succeeds in capturing a huge a slice of the history during the times either. It does bend a little political and fair to certain extents, but fails to touch other things that happened at the time. So what we have is a focus point but not the bigger picture. I have read many historical details during these dark times but they are not really elaborated here. What you simply have is a man that is mistreated, horrifically, and emotionally crushed in a country that does not listen to him. The film is focused on the horror and the artistry that it forgets about character and story development. So you come away learning absolutely nothing more than we already know. It also feels that lots of footage is missing. I just get that feel that this is why the story fails to flow.

I think what we have here is a style over substance film. These are the films to watch as they tend to get so much credit but will leave you wondering what all the fuss was about. A lot of people will follow like sheep and believe that the top critics are telling them the truth, just like newspapers tell us who to vote.

An artsy film with no substance mixed with a known horror story from history, add some great scenery with a broken story and a touch of fine acting - and you have a picturesque film with a pointless drag of a story.

"This is the first film I've watched from the marvel franchise, and it's very disappointing. The visuals looked like they were done by a 12 year old (very CGI heavy, as of which was awful) and the plot is far too complicated. It excludes those who haven't watched all the previous films before this one, especially in the time travel scenes, which were arguably the weakest parts of this film. There are also many other scenes that are either too slow, or don't make sense which significantly added to the length of this film. The action scenes saw little improvement - they were drawn out and any individual battles taking place were practically impossible to see. Captain Marvel must be the worst actor I've ever seen, and Spiderman looks like someone they've dragged out of secondary school. The popularity and success of this film is really difficult to justify - perhaps the audience are none the wiser and lack the viewing of good quality films. This is the first film I've seen where it feels refreshing to see the end credits. I would not recommend the marvel franchise, unless you enjoy a good endurance challenge.",3
"First I love love this movie.But here is plot. The story kicks-off in Delhi where Ajay Singh (Akshay Kumar) and PK Sharma aka Sharmaji (Anupam Kher) from CBI raid a mantriji's residence and find lakhs of rupees and valuables hidden in numerous unfamiliar spaces. They leave the house and we come to know that they have actually robbed the minister. Accompanied with two more, the four persons are sharp minded cons who portray themselves as CBI officers and raid different ministers and business houses. And since there is black money involved, no one dares to complain. So after every robbery the conmen walks away clean.

Now they have a bigger plan to become rich. This time they target a big jeweller at Opera house in Mumbai who will make them fabulously rich overnight and to make this big raid real they hire a band of 26 other people.

"Whether or not we get more rounds with this hand of fate, Talk to Me lingers as a striking and confident directorial debut from the Philippous. The movie isn't for those who believe horror movies can easily be shaken off. The film is thematically a bit thin but doesn't stint on genuine scares, intensity or revulsion.

The film grabs your attention with verve, but also has a vision: it's not mortal danger it finds freaky, but what's waiting on the other side. More than just a great scream queen, Wilde makes vivid sense of Mia's ravaged emotions, revealing her to be a captive less to the spirit realm than to her own inconsolable grief. She's the movie's revelation. By choosing simplicity over specifics, the filmmakers free themselves from the weight of words and open up space for a mood of intense disquiet and unusual sensitivity.

"I was highly impressed by The Last Of Us games (1 & 2) but not enjoying that much from the series.

So I believe if you're a fan of the games, it might happen to you as well. You won't be impressed by the series because of two reasons:

1. You know the story.

2. Characters in the games are far more charismatic.

Pedro Pascal is so so. Bella Ramsey is not a really good choice for Ellie.

But if you've not played the games, it can be a fantastic experience. The original game has a perfect story and chemistry. And it seems like the series is gonna deliver the same feeling. It's actually the most valuable aspect of the series.

It adapts the game very well.",7
"I see some people are trying to cover the plot makers by ignoring portrayals.

This is utter nonsense from the directors hiring indian assistances and actors. Bangladesh film industry has much better actors for the villain's role, at least 1000 times better than the chick shown in the film who could've easily easily helped the director to portray a 'Dhakaiya drug king'

Roads, Dusts, Slums are from Kolkata and Kolkata suits best for all those, directors could have easily used Kolkata as it naturally goes with the movie.

Most importantly, Dhaka's elite forces (Police, RAB, Army follows the command of a Drug king 😀😂😂😂) What a Joke...!! Could've easily used thousand random gang members of the drug dealer in place of those uniformed clowns who actually resembles national defence of a country.

What was the point of highlighting and developing plot surrounding Dhaka and Bangladesh where almost nothing matched exactly.

Tyler and co. went all in for just money, rescued, came to know that they were played & won't get paid, his dead son comes in mind and rescues for the humanity 👏 When his own son died, his humanity didn't rise, he escaped so that he doesn't need to watch his son dying in-front of him. So, getting the air of Dhaka he became a good 'mercenary'? This part even destroyed the overall weights of the Tyler's character.

Successfully wasted my times watching this and now reviewing this as well.

My rating is 4/10 only for Chris Helmsworth & Randip Hooda's inhuman efforts. Rest all are 'rotten tomatoes'",4
"A fun, fantastical film that extends the universe of Harry Potter. With the screenplay written by J.K. Rowling herself, you can expect some 'Harry Potter' talk in the film. Honestly, being someone who isn't educated with the world of Harry Potter, some terminology did get lost on me. There are too many creatures with names that you can't really follow which they are referring to.

In regards to the cast, I do have some doubts. While I agree that Redmayne has the ability and look to fit his character, I think his role in The Danish Girl may have affected his acting here. His tendency to bow his head, and tilt it to the side is characteristic of his previous role, and is out of place in his character as Newt. A bit more charisma from him as the protagonist could have helped the flow of the movie. Farrell, and Waterston did their roles well enough, and while Morton portrays a typical character, she was likable. Another likable character is played by Fogler. His role as Kowalski is pretty much to provide the laughs, and he is easily the best character in the film.

I was quite surprised to find out that Miller was the actor behind Credence, as I did not recognize him. He did extremely well in his role of a disturbed child seeking guidance. The emotions he portrays are intense, and fit that of his character perfectly.

Visuals play a major element in this film, and the creatures are all agreeably detailed. Some are anthropomorphized (given human attributes), while others are more animal like. Either way, the detail is impressive, and you can tell from the overall shape what type of animal inspired the different creatures.

The wizardry effects of magic are also well done. It is nice that the filmmakers included mundane uses for magic (like housework), and not just that for fighting. All the fancy light effects add to the overall theme of the film, and bring color to certain dark settings. I also noticed the soundtrack at certain points - especially during comedic scenes. The background music during these scenes are quite amusing, and definitely exemplifies the atmosphere.

Overall, a funny and magical enough film.",7
"This anime is mediocre, all the reviews here all clearly have nostalgia bias and are not able to see past that, this anime was definitely ahead of its time for sure, and myself and many others grew up on it. However when you compare this anime to the other animes which came out a bit later t like Naruto, Hunter x Hunter , bleach , attack on Titan, all I will say is every fight scene drags wayyyy too long and is soo repetitive in Dbz, and on top of that in dbz or dbs they completely undermine transformations and make earlier transformations useless. Good anime to watch back in the day when it was ahead of it's time, but when you're grown up you realise how much the sagas drag on and on.",4
This is comparable to a Colombo or Murder She Wrote but with an all star cast of no memorable performances and a typically wooden turn by Craig. How this movie was green lighted beggars belief but if you're drunk with two hours to fill then it may be just the ticket.,3
"I wasn't exactly looking forward to this movie. I just didn't see any point in it considering they've taken an animated movie and made it into..... an animated movie, except this time it looks real. I firmly believe that the CGI epidemic going through Hollywood right now is merely a monetary scheme. The Lion King (2019) is no exception, however, I enjoyed this movie a lot.

The cinematography was beautiful. Powerful establishing shots of the African landscape and its creatures deemed Disney once again as prominent in its colour and design. The camerawork didn't feel sloppy or too fast, and as a spectator I was able to concentrate on what was happening in the frame before it cut away - a huge redemption compared to the editing in Aladdin (2019). However I feel like some of the close-ups of Mufasa, Scar and Simba could have been held longer as this would have made them so much more powerful.

However, I feel like the performance of the voice actors was incredibly weak. While in the original the characters had power in their words, these actors merely feel like they're reading from a script without much deliberation on how to convey each words. I also feel like the dubbing of Young Simba's voice was careless, as it sounded more like a narration than the character actually speaking, which is a big problem for animated movie.

The writing of the film seemed lazy to me. It seemed like they merely took the original script, and then only changed some of the ""comedic"" lines, which was off-putting, as I felt they should have either copied the entire script (the original ad-libs too) or changed the script entirely. Because they only changed some of the lines, the writing seemed unbalanced and awkward.

I also have mixed feelings about 'Spirit', the new song by Beyoncé. While I think it's a good song, it doesn't fit with any of the other soundtrack and score pieces, and seems like yet another ploy to get into the charts and be nominated for an Oscar. I'm just glad that it was played over the characters actions, and not sang by the characters themselves. I did greatly dislike the new composition of 'Be Prepared'. It had none of its power or maliciousness, nor any of its strong wartime reflections, and felt lazy and bland.

In summary, I'm in love with the realism of this film (something I was initially wary of) and the cinematography, however the acting, writing and a couple of the songs were reckless, lazy and unrevised.",4
"Terrible in so many ways, yeah ... at times Sandler's acting does get felt by the audience. Mostly just caricatures by all other roles, not seeing the Sadie appeal personally. I truly feel that the critics were paid off on this one. Two hours of pathetic freneticism followed by a moment of simultaneous shock and satisfaction a movie does not make!",5

"People who followed all the lawsuits and all the Barbies throughout the years. It broke every single Hollywood Law in the books. Mattel made Satire out of their own overprotection of the Barbie Product. Margot Robbie was a breath of fresh air when she produced and starred in Barbie. This is one movie for both males and females and those who absolutely HATE Barbie. It is pure comedy and will never stop laughing throughout the whole movie.

Know your Barbie History before coming to the movie. Know the lawsuits which Mattel brought to those who used Barbie as Satire. 64 years of history in.one hour and fifty-four minutes.",10
"Started to watch The Witcher till I can't do it when seeing people with different ethnicities.. It isn't it a white people's tale??.. I mean it's ridiculous if you would think of it the other way around.. let's say an Egyptian, African, or Chinese tale that contains some semi humans characters, wouldn't be super idiotic if there would be white people doing them? or even the humans roles?.. so Asian and black elves??",1
"I'll start by saying it's a good watch overall. While the whole ""being trapped in a video game"" thing is tired, this book adaptation does well in execution. The characters are well acted, the story lines interesting and complex (usually in a two-faced political sense), and most characters likeable.

Now here's where the show falters for me:

1. Much of the show (especially the second season) actually kicks Ains's story to the side to spends several episodes on side characters, building them up as their own protagonists, only to have Ains kill them off and never be mentioned again, essentially wasting the viewer's time and emotional investment.

2. Ains's (the protagonist) allies, the NPCs him and his friends created, constantly worship him. It was humorous at first, but after three seasons, this gets very, very grating. Some scenes are literally just stroking the ego of the main character, who is in actuality a huge turbo virgin who never leaves his house.

3. To use a video game term, being a shut in and doing nothing but leveling up and getting the best items, Ains is way too OP (overpowered). The show only gets its value by expounding upon the backstories of its side characters that exist within the video game, the ones that aren't Ains or the NPCs who serve him. His fights are somewhat boring, because again, they only serve to stroke the main character's ego.

3. Ains is wholeheartedly, unapologetically evil. Something went wrong when he was trapped in the game and he lost any humanity he had. Sometimes the show will build up a character's backstory for several episodes only to have Ains or his NPCs kill them brutally and anticlimactically. Or have them tortured and then killed. Or enslaved. The show does a good job to make sure you dislike its protagonist, and root for his enemies. Maybe that's by design, but it's not for me.",7
"I watched it till episode 5 and couldn't continue. Who ever is on Continuity should be fired along with plausibility. I have loved this story since the beginning, but this version is atrocious. Its like a juvenile's attempt at sci-fi. The writers are attempting to make a spin-off version with different details, but it doesn't hold water its so full of holes. Don't bother.",2
"This is my first time writing a review. I had to do this to save those who will fall for the high ratings and pumped up reviews.

I really wanted to love this show & endured it because ""dope reviews"" , waiting for the wow factor that never came.

Gave it up at the 5th episode of season 1 after realizing it was suicidal & an absolute waste of my precious time.

Poor storyline, poor plot, lackluster characters. I was more than glad to miss everyone & everything.",1
"Yet another expedition sets off to find a new home for the human race; a sci-fi staple since at least 'When Worlds Collide' nearly sixty years ago.

Doomsday in the movies has regularly been postponed over the years ('Lost in Space', for example, was set in 1997) and is this time further delayed until the mid-21st century when depletion of the means to feed ourselves (""the world needs farmers"") provides the ticking clock.

Since most of the film remains indoors (thank God! Since the camera usually wobbles maddeningly during most of the exterior scenes) the film remains pristine looking in the best tradition of sci-fi filmmaking (especially Anne Hathaway in a spacesuit). But it's nearly three hours long and somebody really should have told the cast - especially Matthew McConaughey - to stop mumbling, speak up and talk faster.

And as usual any pretence at sustaining a narrative is ultimately discarded in favour of a welter of special effects.",7

Great acting, which is always important, amazing plot, mind blowing action, and very funny. Great characters. I. I loved everything about this movie, it was absolutely flawless and worth the money to see. If you love superheros, comedy, action, this you'll love this. I recommend it 100% you wouldn't regret seeing this movie. This is an actual superhero movie and Marvel needs to do more like this, because if there were more Superhero movies like this I would do anything to watch it. It's absolutely amazing.",10

"I normally like Quentin Tarantino stuff but this is getting beyond. Ponderous, slow and uninteresting; these are usually not adjectives that you associate with Tarantino. The list of actors is impressive, Yet somehow they do not gel into one block buster of a film. The individual storys merge into one melting pot of a snapshot of hollywood life. Now you'd think that would make for a good film,. And it would - if only it were about a third shorter. By 2 hours in I was ""shoot me and let this end""!",4
"I cannot figure out what all the hype is about this movie. My husband and I took in a double feature today, Gravity being one of them, and we both agreed that it left much to be desired.

Aside from the beautiful visual effects, the acting was mundane, the writing was insipid, the story was predictable. It was not 'edge of my seat' in the least.

I don't mean to insult people who 'loved' the movie or who think it was 'one of the best made' but really?!? And I don't think it's right to be condescending by asking if people who didn't like Gravity were ones who liked Transformers or Avatar. (never saw Transformers and Avatar was not much better than Gravity)

In my opinion, I don't think Gravity even compares to great movies such as Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, Slumdog Millionaire, The Usual Suspects, The Departed, ... just to name a few.

I should have gone with my gut, saved $30 and waited for the DVD release.",6

Amazon disabled reviews and comments on this series to silence the disgruntled customers' complaints about it. That shows how good it really is. Yes. Some of the customers are abhorred by some of the naive messages this terribly put together series tried to push. But most of them are just shocked by how terrible and inept the makers are. They took a great concept and turned it into the worst TV show ever imaginable.,1
"I really cannot understand the gushing reviews this has been getting and the accolades being constantly bestowed upon it: there is really nothing outstanding, or even new, about it – period! Much has been said about its excellent visual effects – but the same is true of countless other sci-fi efforts, so, no big deal there! Similarly, it was acclaimed as a tension-filled two-parter set against a forbidding backdrop: well, this type of film has been done – and much more engagingly, if you ask me – for years...take John Boorman's HELL IN THE PACIFIC (1968), for one! As space operas go, then, its unabashed references to the likes of PLANET OF THE APES, 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (both 1968) and ALIEN (1979) only serve to expose its essential dramatic (and artistic) shallowness – enough said! And, frankly, the decision to cast stars (annoying Sandra Bullock and narcissistic George Clooney – yeah right, I totally buy them as astronauts…which goes to show that very little has changed from the practices redolent during the old studio system, where they used to cast Caucasian actors as all sorts of ethnic types) in what clearly amounts to character roles is ample proof that the producers themselves did not have enough faith that the premise would sell itself!

Thankfully, the intrinsic streamlining also extends to the film's running-time, so we do not get any tear-jerking flashbacks to Bullock's tragic past on Earth; even so, her assumption that she does not know how to pray is as clichéd as they come! Anyway, the narrative is taken up by scientific jargon (which we have all been suffering from these last 50 years or so), panic attacks (contact with Base is invariably lost early on: incidentally, Ed Harris has been typecast as the voice of Houston ever since APOLLO 13 {1995}!), floating all too easily between various space stations (most of them conveniently unworkable – being peopled by corpses, boasting non-English friendly equipment, oddly self-combustible or simply meteorite targets)! As for its visually arresting 'silent' sequences of the extensive shuttle damage, again, this is no novelty (Michelangelo Antonioni did something similar a good 45 years ago with ZABRISKIE POINT!) and, in any case, it eventually wears thin with the repetition! And is it not a downright cheat to have Bullock fantasize about Clooney 'bailing her out' when all hope seemed lost (by the way, his lengthy conversations with the heroine in an attempt to reassure and guide her, while he is himself headed for certain death, come off as comical more than anything else)?!

One might argue that I have said very little in the movie's favour to justify even its ""average"" rating: this alone speaks volumes about the way modern cinema generally leaves me cold – with very few titles made in the recent past that I deem worthy of more than a cursory glance...!",5
"Not exactly what i was expecting. Had a lot of goosebumps watching the trailer and then going to the movie with the thing heard about of what they called surgical strikes.

A few times I felt that the movie was not going forward and it remained disconnected from one part to the next. There should be have been more of a continuity feeling but I felt it lacked it.

Some scenes were not necessary and some scenes were a bit too long. At one point, it felt like I was playing a war video game rather than watching the movie.

Pros: good acting, inspirational and emotional scenes. Get knowledge of all it all happened (even though not everything shown in the movie could be true, for example the devices that are shown to be used by the Indian army may not be true). Paresh Rawal as Ajit Doval was good. Vicky Kaushal and Yami Gautam's acting was pretty solid. Yami Gautam's looks were something to die for. She's not only a good looking woman but she sbould evolve as a versatile actress in the future that sets her apart from the chhichhora class of actresses of Katrina Kaif, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis fakhri, and so on.

Cons: the movie lacked some more details and continuity. I think the movie could have had more related content that could have held the watchers to the seat. Some portion in the movie was predictable. When I was watching the movie it reminded me of the Hollywood flick, 13 hours. Comparing that to this, the former was goosebumps all the way in the end. I was hoping the same for this as an Indian. But I didn't feel it in the most part of the movie. Some contents are cruel. So if you are sensitive close your eyes.",6
"This second season is giant leaps above the first season, but still suffers from dull and uneven direction. Characters doing dumb things for no reason but to justify plot points, and too many coincidences show the lazy writing on many an episode.

These (mostly) were supposed to be the best and brightest hand picked agents but often don't act like it. Some of the characters and actors have a good rapport but it's more often than not squandered with bad dialog. The writers have a wealth of Marvel lore to use but chose to drag out artifacts ala Warehouse 13 and powered individuals of the week ala X-Files. The show needs better writing and stronger direction. The action scenes are sometimes well done, but are often too short, suffering from the look of choreography from a bad wire martial arts movie.",4
"This movie is super boring. I almost fell asleep.

Why do people find it good.",1
Why the plot include the place Dhaka rather than West Bengal or Any African nations?,4
"The core idea of this film is great. Specially if your into history and like animals (dogs). That said, one is let down many times in the film. For example costumes definitely could have been more rustic. Its set in 20,000 yrs ago - perfect fitting, with inner wear. Come on!!! Also, a bit let down by missed opportunities in making some scenes more real - like in the end when he come back home. The people in his village were so cool around the wolf. At lease some shock towards the wolf would have been nice. This was set in a time where the wolf was a predator to them, but they were ok with him just lying there. In the mid, when the wolf and human are both in cave, the hero was dominant and submissive(like when he gave water) at the same time. I didnt get that. One more thing was 'you stink' scene, after which they take a bath(What!!!). Again for the time its set in - the smell is but a signature of any species, humans included. Why would one want to get rid of that? These are wild animals we are showing here. All in all - good movie. I wont watch it again though. But definitely enticed my imaginations.",5
"As a big fan of Henry I am very disappointed ( not by his acting ,he was good) but after watching first six episodes i was not amused at all. Holes in the story , to long boring not important scenes , even dialogues are bad and not interesting. In my opinion in first few episodes spectaror should be caught up in the story.",3
Thats it. Nothing else. Other than that its just forced drama.,6
"It's entertainment. I really like the episodes being short, it's like reading The Davinci Code. Two things I think could've been done differently...The movie Groundhog Day was not adduced. I understand the experiences here are somewhat different, but as a way to rationalize and convey to themselves and others what is happening, it would be an obvious supposition. Second now, Nadia's fling and ex are....not quite handsome as she is bonny. My final thoughts... Horse is a serial killer.",8
"You have seen the ludicrous reviews claiming that this is the best film of the year and that it will be remembered for years. It won't. It's a nonsensical movie about a bunch of weirdos. It's well shot, but if you expect a movie to give you some positive feelings, some lesson, or an inspiration, well prepare to leave the movie theater empty-handed.",4
"This movies plays out the many who would win between ____ & ____? It was fun to see certain heroes combos fighting each other, and the introduction of newer characters was done smoothly. Spiderman, Ant man and Black Panther solid in their performances. The fight between all the heroes in Berlin was easily the best part of the whole movie. Even watching it a second time I was waiting eagerly to see this scene again.

Captain America and his story seemed to play second fiddle to the over arching civil war. His romance was a bit a of a waste time, especially in the fact that his love story has hardly any return in the next few MCU movies. His bromance with Bucky was interesting enought to keep watching over the length of two movies.

The humour was relatively absent from any scenes including Captain America. The only laughs to be had were when other characters were in the scene.

Ironman almost gets more character development than Captain America through learning to submit and not be so proud. How does Captain America change as a result of this movie? He has asserted himself as a capable leader and a sacrifical friend. But I had hoped for a bit more. Although this movie is a much better Avengers movie than Age of Ultron. A better story and a much more relatable enemy, and even the enemy within your own heroes.",7
"I started to walk out around 10 minutes in, and ended up staying to my regret. The sound effects were very poor. The CGI was poor. The dialogue was beyond bad. The acting was sub par, and whoever that was that played ""America"" was some of the worst acting I've seen on a marvel set yet.

Some fight scenes were tolerable; ones that didn't involve CGI. Some jokes were OK.

Save your money. Wait to stream it and see for yourself.",3
The acting is so ridiculously irritating especially the teenagers and the brat Will that you will pray for the robot to squash his head and put an end to this madness. Half way through the series (season 1) you will soon start to feel that this ain't the series you hope it would had be. But you are already invested in with several hours so you will admittedly keep on going and the more you watch the more you will regret why you even bothered. The CGI was excellent top notch but it didn't deserve the cast. The cast and the stupid script ruined this show which had great potential.,5
"Season 1 : Nawaz, you are awesome, Radhika you beauty. Plot is really good. I will rate 7* for Season 1. Season 2 is frustrating and for no reason asked viewers to connect the dots. Pankaj Tripathi's performance is below average.

i thought sacred games is over rated saif ali khan is a disaster in that role nawazuddin is as always top rate..! saif ali khan is a let down dosent seem a natural role for him.. Saif ali khan still learning acting and most probably he will good when he will be 90 years old. in Season 2 I was banging my head when Saif acted He was under influence of drugs. The way Season 1 started at high note it ended with typical Bollywood TV series. Overall my rating for this is Poor. Watch Mirzapur instead. Each and every dialog is funny.",1
"watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part one last night... - the Scariest part in the entire movie was when he took his top off in the beginning... i cried myself to sleep.

I had the feeling they tried to make it too emotional with constant teary eyed moments lamenting the loss of certain characters.

It just didn't have the punch I was expecting - I had heard it was a lot darker than the previous installments but people were referring to the lighting and not the story...

I sincerely hope the last installment rectifies this and does the series some justice.

What ever you do don't pay to see this movie.",6
"Seriously, this idiot character should've been dead in the first 5 minutes of the movie give or take about 4 minutes of overly long opening credits while we the viewers are subjected to getting dizzy and comatose watching the silly CGI feather blow around in the wind.

My Gawd, this movie was horribly stupid and an insult to reasonably functioning human beings around the world who have to deal with a lot of mediocrity and just plain insanity day in and day out.

If anyone (male or female) says that they can ""relate"" to this moron character (as well as that other idiot, Bubba), then they have some serious mental problems and should operate any kind of machinery much less have kids. Charles Bronson, Eastwood, Cagney, Bogart, Norris, Schwarzenegger, JCVD, Steven Segall, hell, even Rock Hudson would've kicked this fool's dumb *SS without hesitation.

Keep your braincells, go out and chop wood or hunt and SKIP this idiotic man/boy, arrested development garbage!!!!!!",1
"Bangladesh has been one of the most obscure countries in the world. Other than it's obvious poverty, not much is known about this country. Extraction has been one of the first appearances of Bangladesh in Hollywood. And it is a complete insult to Bangladeshi people. Bangladesh is not a great country. There is rampant poverty, large economic disparity, the issue of terrorism, and rise in illegal drugs and gambling. But in this movie, Bangladesh is portrayed as if it is Yemen or a generic African country. Dhaka city is shown as yellow, as if it has jaundice. Also the city is shown to be near a jungle. There are no jungles in near Dhaka or in the Dhaka district.The nearest jungles would be around Sylhet or Khulna. Land around Dhaka is mostly farmland. Also Dhaka is portrayed as lawless with the police and ""Elite""units under one drug lord. There is no such unit called an ""Elite"". The closest would be the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB). Portraying them as under the payroll of drug lords is insulting as they were the ones who have been carrying out a controversial crackdown against them and illegal gamblers recently. The movie also features children walking around with AK-47 SMGs in public, like as if Bangladesh is a war-torn African country. Bangladesh is one of those emerging economies, on par with Vietnam. Dhaka city may contain slums, but they do not make up the entire city. The movie also shows Hindi songs playing in every house. Bangladesh also has a music industry. Also, the local Bangla spoken is nothing like the one spoken in Bangladesh. It sounds more like a West Bengali accent like those spoken in Kolkata. They not only did not shoot the movie in Bangladesh, filming mostly in Ahmedabad in India with some scenes filmed in Thailand. There were also no Bangladeshi actors used with most of the locals being played by Indians such as Rudraksh Jaiswal. Also one the cast members is an Iranian named Golshifteh Farahani. Iranians are not the same as Bangladeshis. Also Iranians should stop playing Indians, Bangladeshis, and Arabs as a lot of them are willing to play negative stereotypes of Muslims and Arabs. Navid Negahan being one. The inaccuracies are as bad as those of Dan Brown novels such as Digital Fortress, which got Seville wrong, and Homeland, which gets things wrong about Beirut, Islamabad, and Islam. People try to justify these by using the ""it's fiction""excuse. Other than those inaccuracies, the movie also follows a white savior narrative. Our hero Tyler Rake is a typical white action hero. Although not an American, as Rake is made Australian to match his actor Chris Hemsworth, he has traits of a typical white American action hero. Just to save one child, he massacres many Bangladeshis. The movies plot is partly borrowed from the far superior Man on Fire, starring the Denzel Washington. The former atleast wasn't a modern ""Might Whitey"" story and had actual Mexican actors for a movie set in Mexico. People seem to really think this is best movie since John Wick. This movie has nothing in common with John Wick other than the brilliant fight scenes. It is more of a spiritual successor to Beirut (2018), due to its white savior narrative and inaccurate portrayal of a certain city in a developing country.",1
"I have some advice for intelligent people who wish to see a great film about dreams...Watch Mulholland Dr. Instead.

I found Inception to be a strange animal, it's almost like a film that has been aimed at cretins to help them feel as though they are intelligent.

As far as having my mind blown I found myself still waiting for the ""Blow"" as the film wrapped, following two and a half hours of dull exposition, lacklustre performances, and cliché after cliché all dressed up as the ""next big thing"".

I am by no means a ""Nolan hater"" he has made some very solid films up to this point and has real talent, I also do not blame him for this offering as he obviously thought it was good, I blame the easily pleased and intellectually challenged people who have hyped it up to be something it clearly is not.

The 3rd greatest film of all time?...Give me a break.",3
"It is indeed ""superbad"", possibly one of the worst movies I've seen...and I've seen plenty. The two people who brainstormed this whole script at 13 have hopefully matured since then. The plot was nothing new...there are lots of movies out there about horny teens who desperately want to score. Very few scenes were, in my humble opinion, laugh-out-loud funny.

I'm in my early 20's and I love crude humor but this movie seemed like it was trying too hard. After a while, the ""f-bomb"" and constant references to sex started to be annoying. Some lewdness is cool but this was completely overdone. Movies don't have to be full of crap to be funny. And speaking from a woman's perspective, it is impossible to bleed (menstrual blood) on guys from simply dancing with them. The movie was trash. I love comedy and I can appreciate old stuff like Porky's, which was pretty crude in its own way. This movie was a complete miss.

I liked Evan (Michael Cera) in the movie ""Juno"". He is pretty talented, for what it's worth. He constantly has that deer in headlights look about him. Out of all the people in this film, I felt like both he and Fogell/McLovin (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) were the true actors. They did well in their respective roles considering how bad it all was. The character of Seth (Jonah Hill) was unlikeable for the most part. I found him selfish, obnoxious, disrespectful and a terrible friend to Evan. He had a foul mouth, anger problems, and a screwed-up attitude towards girls. However, his human side did show at times so you realize he isn't a complete jerk...just painfully insecure because he wants this girl Jules to like him and because Evan is his only real friend. Had some things been different, my review probably wouldn't be as harsh.",1
According to me..one of the best movie of 2020... Its worth watching... I enjoyed every second of it... Epic performance epic story... Everyone should watch it... And enjoy this masterpiece..,10
"I hate series but I made an exception this time. Season 1 was very unique. The view point it took and the characters were exceptional. I was really impressed. But now with Season 2, the story seems exhausted of its original tempo and slowed down to its final wish and will die. Sadly. I expected a ""really something"" but now...",7
"It was okay. I wished my sister didn't run her mouth throughout the whole movie, it was horrible having to listen to he predictions and watching them actually happen. Took the fun out of everything. But anyway I think it was pretty predictable. I really honestly would've enjoyed more if it weren't for my blasted sibling. I'm still annoyed.",5

"Didn't the Joker Kill Batman's Parents? He says, ""hey kid, you ever dance with the devil by the pale moonlight?""

What about Batman dropping the ""Joker"" into a pool of acid? What happened to that?

And who was this childhood girlfriend of Batman? What happened to Vicky Vale.

Oh, I almost forgot, why did Batman train (intensively) with a sword, and he never used a sword when he became Batman. In fact he never used any weapons. Lame rip-off movie. Lots of holes if you ask me.

What happened to the Batmobile. Why did it become a stupid looking tank. It was cooler looking fifteen years ago (and so was the character of Batman).",3
"Fun film. It's the first time I've seen Depp do a crowd-pleasing lead. His Jack Sparrow is pretty much standard Deppian posturing which really works for me, but I was surprised to see it as the centerpiece of a Summer blockbuster. Between Scissorhands and Fear and Loathing, he always seemed to me at least as smart as the script, but in this case he pretty much soars above it and delivers his lines with a real relish for camp.

The rest of the film was sorta okay, which is saying a lot since I generally loath the work of The House of Bruckheimer. Like a lot of other 2.5 hour braindead epics, this one could have edited down for time. It's not Bergman for heaven's sake - the characters beyond Depp's and Rush's (and theirs are all style) are almost cheap cardboard cutouts. The advantage of stock characters is supposed to be economy.

The story is excellent compared to general summer fair, especially in this summer plagued by stories ripped from comics, old TV shows, reality TV, and, in Bruckheimer's other Summer film, a bunch of cop show cliches mashed together. It's not so complex a story that 2.5 hours is necessary.

If producer Bruckheimer has a signature shot it's either 1) that much overused A-Team stunt explosion in the middle ground while a person is catapulted away from it in the fore, arms and legs kicking, or 2) special effect shots THAT NEVER END. In almost any Bruckheimer film there is an effect or stunt that makes you say `wow' and you want to see it again, like the melting heads in Raiders of the Lost Arc once did. With Bruckheimer you can count on seeing that effect over and over and over again during the course of the film until every drop of techno magic is drained.

The shot of the undead pirates walking on the ocean floor was great. It is exactly the sort of imaginative storytelling that has been lacking in many recent blockbuster films.",6
I don't understand all these 10 star reviews. This movie was so boring I couldn't wait for it to be over. The storyline was weak and the acting wasn't that much better. DC should re-evaluate their whole entire movie process...,3
"I just have to say that they have got traits of several movies (Oceans Trilogy and The Illusionist to be exact). But they have woven a great story around a perfect plot so well, that one would enjoy every aspect of it. Yet another great work from the magician named Neeraj Pandey. Even Akshay Kumar's presence has been good, amazingly. Anupam Kher also have done a marvelous job, and so has Manoj Vajpayee. The cinematography and the BGM shot off the hook, while the special effects were quite lame.

The overall screenplay has so been so beautifully shot, and the basic plot being excellently set, one would actually enjoy this movie to its core. This is a great watch for all movie lovers. From within, I told myself while watching this movie, ""Finally, an entertainer. And that too a proper one...from Bollywood, after a long period of time.""",9
"""The Boys"" is one of the most amazing superhero shows right now. It has all the gore (and more) of Deadpool but all the social commentary of the modern world. I enter the show with a strange premise; I thought this show was about a group who stop corrupt superheroes. But it's actually vastly different. ""The Boys"" is essentially about a world where ""Vought"" manages to make superheroes as rentable as they can be.

Our leading characters are a group that we will see unit forces to discover the dirty secrets and some evidence of the dark side of the most beloved superheroes of this universe, ""The Sevens.""

This adventure is full of social commentary as I already said. You can compare the corrupt world of superheroes with many different aspects of our world. From politics, corporations, religion and show business, this show is a critic of our world, the way some people or companies try to maintain a clean image even though they make grave mistakes and sometimes they are as***les. This show succeeds with his social commentary.

The gore is there and it's moderately good. This show has much blood and action and that makes it better. The pacing sometimes feels slow because it's trying exposing the way this universe works but it is stills a good show. The characters are all likeable and the villains are genuinely interesting.

From the concept to the execution, ""The Boys"" is almost a masterpiece of 2019.",9
"This was a quiet and quaint film that delivered an absorbing story without explosions or over drawn out comedic moments. Yes subtle and entertaining....some will find this film slow. Did anyone understand this? The pacing is slow, nothing is forced in any of the conversations....or shoved down an audience's throat. Its about two people making a connection. Bill Murray was amazing...very funny scenes happened when they were shooting his commercial. The bar scenes dragged but the music was good. The landscape and photography is amazing... yet not appealing in the communication areas....I guess we are all lost in translation. When these two characters connect.....the chemistry works well. I like a bit more action and movement so its not something I could recommend if you get bored easily. Not a bad flick....but there are far better ones out there to spend your time on.",6
"Worst presentation. Totally unrealistic.. A idiotic mixture of James bond, Mission Impossible, John wick, Rambo, McGyver etc.",1
"The main score is excluding the last 2 seasons. Judging by the first 3 seasons, this is one of the best sitcoms ever made but various factors led to it not doing so well while it ran and getting cut. It became a lot more popular after it had ended and word of mouth got around about how great it was. Due to popular demand and the show being cut so soon, there were rumors about it being revived for years but unfortunately that didn't happen until Netflix decided to pick it up about 7 years after the last season.

I don't know what happened with season 4, but the end result was a season with some big issues and lacking the clever comedy of the first 3 seasons. Season 5 was released nearly 5 years later that unfortunately was also very disappointing. I suspect a key person or people were not involved in season 4 and 5 (like Larry David was not involved in the last few seasons of Seinfeld, though the drop in quality wasn't as severe) or Netflix people butted in too much thinking they knew better.

Again, the first 3 seasons are excellent and up there with other top sitcoms. Several of those sitcoms also had disappointing seasons towards the end, just most had made it at least 5 seasons before the quality started to decline. Arrested Development most likely would have been similar had Fox not canceled it after season 3.",9
"I was impressed as always with the film itself but it could have been cut down to a much shorter film. The layover in the different locations got a bit boring. I'm guessing without doing any exact timing it could have been cut down to at least under 2 hours. I'm hoping the final part will have a bit more action and less milling around. I would rather sit through a three to four hour single part film then have to wait 8 months for the final part. The old epic films when we'd sit through a 3½ hour film with an intermission would be perfect for this finale. They could have combined both parts, made it in 3-D and had a brief intermission.

And I definitely agree with the person that said, don't bring the kids. The series has gotten darker since movie #5. The cast and film has grown up in years as should the viewers. I would not bring my grade school child but someone who saw Part 1 as a youngster would appreciate it more now some 10 years later. Can't wait for the final film, hoping for a good follow-up and watching both parts on blu-ray in a year or two.",7
"There are too many aspects of this movie that are terrible, ridiculous, & overall poor filmography. From a cartoonish & terribly animated monster to the girl talking about her two mothers to scenes jumping from one to the next. Not to mention the drawn-out saga of Wanda, which was a blah blah plot. The movie could have been so much better - it seemed to have a ton of potential. But utterly disappointing.",3
"Let me start off by saying you cannot take this movie seriously. The writing is definitely cheesy, but everything else is great. Many funny moments that are probably the highlight of the film. Hardy and Harrelson (plus the rest of the cast) did great at acting, and the special fx where much better this time around. Plus the directory and cinematography were awesome. Carnage looked and sounded terrifying! The first scream of carnage definitely startled me not gonna lie. All in all, it's on par with the first, with the writing a bit worse now, but the other elements better. The mid-credit scene itself? Solid 10/10 I cannot even put into words how awesome that was.",8
"Having just binged the first 2 series I really enjoyed this novel twist on the whole 'super-hero' genre.

Be aware it's not for the faint hearted though as there is lots of gore, blood and swearing. The latter being responsible for my wife stopping watching it and leaving me to watch it myself.

Whilst I don't mind 'normal' swearing as I do plenty myself, I'm afraid I can't condone the overuse of 'c**t' by Billy Butcher mainly. It simply isn't necessary and does not make sense. I haven't read the graphic novels this is based on but after reading other reviews it appears that Butcher is meant to be English but if that's the case then they've messed up completely here. I'm English and I can tell you for a fact that we definitely do not say 'c**t' in almost every sentence, in fact it's probably the most taboo swear word here and is used very rarely by anyone. Also Butcher's accent in the show is definitely not English/British at all. He's actually speaking Australian (not surprising as Karl Urban is from New Zealand) so I've had to take at least 1 star off my rating just for that.

Apart from those faults it's a very entertaining show and is a true indictment of modern corporations.",8
The starting of this show was top notch. Lot of plot twists with a great thrilling story. Everything was so perfect except the ending. Ending could've been better. Tho it's a must watch for everyone.,9
"I'm baffled at the rave reviews. Sure, for 2013 it was visually stunning. That does not excuse the weak writing & storyline. The characters are barely developed. Bullock's character survives one implausible event after another. So implausible that frankly, the viewer's intelligence is insulted. Her emotional shift near the end wasn't believable, and the ending was lame and unsatisfying. A 7.7? Sheesh. Even a superhero movie has more depth",3
"A lot of exaggeration about how amazing! this movie is , its good but not great .",6
"Captain America: Civil War is not bad, but certainly overrated.

It has several flaws and issues, few of them are: 1. Too much of shaky camera view. Why many action films want to be another Jason Bourne movie?

2. Is Zemo the villain a prophet? How does he estimate the arrival of Ironman and prepare a video for him?

3. Non-stop changes of establishing shots, especially the different country shots. Are they trying to sell tourism?

4. The cause of conflict is ambiguous

5. Why does the mastermind Zemo has to kill all other winter soldiers instead of making good use of them to fight Captain America? So what's the point to trap the superheroes in the secret base? If Ironman never arrived, what could he do as a non- superhero (so he must be a prophet)? Mastermind, seriously?

6. Common sense issue. If you want to kill the people at the state of hibernation, what you need to do is not to disturb them or kill them any other time. So Zemo the prophet has been spending so much time and effort to plan just to kill hibernated people and then commit suicide? Seriously....

7. If Ironman never arrived, how does this Zemo fight against Captain America? What's his plan B? Clearly he must be a prophet....

8. Another common sense issue. Enemy of your enemy can become your friend, what you got to do is to use brain. So what's the point to kill those hibernated winter soldiers? When you are killing the enemy of your enemy, you are helping your enemy. Mastermind huh....

8. The quick changes of personality (or you can say ""character development"") for few characters are not making sense 9. The airport fighting sequel is fun to watch, but not epic or even realistic. Why? The main issue of Marvel films is they tend to avoid any violent shot which make the superhero fight look like kids' fights and unreal; in addition, when the cause of conflict is ambiguous, it is hard to establish epic fight scene. Why the fight sequel in Return of The King and Mad Max are great? Established motivation (do or die) and realism (blood were shed, any character could be killed)

The best Marvel movie so far is none other than The Guardians of Galaxy; the best superhero movie to date? The Dark Knight.",1
This movie won't disappoint you.... hat's off to director nice movie seen after long year,9
"All of the fanboys and girls must have also been in love with ""The Emperor Has No Clothes"" too.

This story is thin, the characters are under developed, the emotional and logical shortcuts are ridiculous, Matt Damon is horribly cast and has become a caricature of himself, the set pieces are not inspiring, the music cues try to be bombastic enough to create emotion that simply doesn't exist and the science is a mess.

When a self-important filmmaker reaches a level of success where no one will tell them ""no"" anymore, this is what comes of it. The scientific equation that sums up this film is as follows: Nolan + Interstellar = Lucas/Spielberg + Crystal Skull.

A completely unremarkable and forgettable film. The Emperor truly has no clothes.",2
"Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law return as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in the sequel Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. While I still maintain that the films would have been more enjoyable if the casting were reversed, the way each character is written is cemented even further in this second installment. Robert Downey Jr. is the eccentric detective, and Jude Law is the boring, superfluous straight man who's consistently annoyed by his partner's antics. The setting for this film is Jude Law's wedding to Kelly Reilly. In the art of storytelling, when a character is married the audience is usually supposed to see that his or her journey is complete and their usefulness to the plot is over. So, Jude Law's character is viewed as even more boring and superfluous!

As Jude and Kelly are supposed to be enjoying their honeymoon, the famed villain Moriarty, played by Jared Harris, attacks, leaving Bob to save the day, and leaving Jude to continuously complain that he'd rather be enjoying his wife than fighting bad guys. Still, if you liked the first film, Sherlock Holmes, you'll probably like the sequel. The action-comedies are pretty similar, and director Guy Ritchie returns with his slow-motion action scenes. These aren't my favorite Sherlock Holmes films, but they're not terrible either. I just would have preferred Jude Law as the lead.",4
"Cinematography, sountrack, Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson were incredible. Everything else was horrible.",6
"When you tackle a subject like bullying and suicide, maybe you shouldnt have every single actor look like a model. It takes place in a weird Hollywood utopia where everyone looks gorgeous and are amazing interesting people.

What then frustrates me without giving any spoilers. This series should take place over a couple of days, instead it takes weeks. The excuse given is very forced and unrealistic.",5

"I watch a lot of movies so it is a testament to this movie that I'm still thinking about it weeks after seeing it. Visually beautiful but with a simple, well told story made even more interesting because it uses a made up language to simulate the alienness to modern society. Also, the story of a man, separated from his tribe, befriending a wolf and trying to get home is simplicity itself and uncomplicated. Worthy of a look.",7
"Spielberg's glossy, cliched American family sit-com and High School coming-of-age trope-fest. A dubious oedipal obsession with his creepy mother. Rose tinted self mythologising of his phoney growth as a filmmaker (on the evidence here, the borrowed, the bland and the superficial were early tenets).

I also found the young filmmaker's manipulation of his schoolmates through film rather unpleasant. Homo-erotic pandering to the principal bully and downright meanness to the less attractive sidekick was a misuse of editing for personal and petty result. Riefenstahl-lite.

Maybe it's meant as a confession, or an excuse... The Fablemans has nothing to say and is absent of truth - other than a confirmation of Spielberg's limited horizons.",2

"In fact, I have a rather complicated relationship with books. If I like something, especially if it's a book series, I fall into it instantly and don't come out until I finish the last book that has been released. And I also manage to walk around with a specific hangover for a few days after a story that has captivated me so much. But, unfortunately, if I don't start the next book immediately after the previous one, I'll probably start something new in about a year.

With the All Souls trilogy (at that time), it happened like this: I tried to watch the first season of the film adaptation, if memory serves, four times. And so, after another batch of recommendations on YouTube and TikTok, I finally got myself together. And I watched the whole season in two days. It took me two more for the next one. I guess I liked the series.

I already knew that it was a film adaptation, because I have a habit of checking Wikipedia for the cast when I start something new. I decided to give it a try. It took me about a week to stop reading/re-reading. I spent another week watching Matthew Goode's filmography.

I read the third and fourth books before the last season came out, which turned out to be both a plus and a minus for me. This series is good because everything is in moderation. Even though we're talking about magic, time travel, and dragons at the same time, I think the series is so skewed towards the mother/father dynamic that my teeth squeaked from the amount of baby powder. Although, it is quite likely that this is just my perception.

If I were to advise someone on the order in which to mix A Discovery of Witches and the trilogy (tetralogy), I would choose the following order: first season, first to third books, second to third seasons, fourth book. Simply because the fourth book is more about one of the secondary characters. I read somewhere that a book about Galloglass is planned. And I am waiting for it. Who knows, who knows, as they say.",8
"The rating is for the season 3. Please stop ruining good shows because of politics, it's becoming really hard to find anything to watch, equity casting and silliness that needs to be injected everywhere makes stuff unwatchable.

Season 3 episode 3 and 4 are so different from the previous seasons, it's actually a joke. They feel like they've been written & directed by a confused Starbucks barista.

I completely understand now why Henry Cavil left this show, he looks like doesn't want to be there throughout the episodes.

I used to love Hollywood movies because of good the casting and well matched actors to characters, I hope this times will end and we're going to go back to a meritocracy.",3
"I am a firm believer that every film should be able to stand on its own.

This was a heavy action packed movie. The fight scenes were well choreographed, and the CGI was well done. The script cast some stellar characters with interesting backgrounds.

In theory this movie should have been tailored to my liking.

Unfortunately...

I spent the first half of the movie dead bored and wondering how much was left. What this film lacked was character. We didn't see any depth of character. It doesn't matter that the actors or actress showed great facial expressions (reactions), their character was never explored beyond that. They remained flat, personable characters.

And yes, I did read the arguments all over the internet: ""That's what the other movies were for. They showed character. Go watch those."" This leads me back to my first statement. It doesn't matter if it's already been done in a preceding movie. I expect to be wowed in THIS movie.

To me, this movie came off as melodramatic.

I was the wrong audience for this film.

Recommends it for: Marvel fans; action-superhero genre fans.",4
"This movie was like an over ripe banana. You can still have it but it's not as good. All I could think about was why? Why was this made? Certainly not for the kids. It's darker across the board, color isn't there, they added so much more drama, and the songs are shorter. Maybe for the parents? You know for sentimental reasons, probably not. As a big fan of Disney animation this was one I decided to give a try. See above why it falls flat. I just think Disney waned to make some fast cash with these live action remakes. As they seem to be really lacking in the imagination department these past few years...Check out the original if you haven't. You'll understand what I mean.",3
Action choreography is the only thing that worth your time while sitting through this Netflix flick.Chris Hemsworth and Randeep Hooda were really hot in their action avatars.,6
"I'm a huge T fan, absolutely love many of his movies, but not all and sadly this joins the later list. The best way to describe this movie is ""A day in the life of a Hollywood Actor in 1969"". That is, mostly just an AVERAGE day, which is largely where the problem lies for many of us who expected more here.

Acting is great all around and saves it somewhat but like too often these days I really feel the script was weak. An example of this would be just how often we see Brad Pitt driving around by himself, where really nothing happens; it reeks of filler material but why even have it there in an already long film? Margo Robbie kind of got robbed here to some degree, her character just gets a very very minor role, didn't come off right at all.

A day in the life of in 1969 is somewhat interesting to many but if that is going to be the core it really needed some more Ooommph; like the Bruce Lee scene, German meeting scene and sequences like the ending, which finally had his trademarks all over it. Even though the film does have a ""climax"", there was really almost no lead up to it, and almost no really story tension throughout, sadly it mostly just plods along.

Really hoping for a return to form for his 10th and apparently possible last film. This film has some charm, which mostly comes through in the great acting, but overall this was disappointing.",6
"This show started off... slow and dreadful... it got... slower and more dreadful... the only time that the show got relatively watchable was when it tied into Winter Soldier. This show does everything that it can to distance itself from the shared universe with which it is perported to be a part. So much so, when they do try to tie it into the grand scheme of things (Sif, Inhumans, Ghost Rider), it just seems massively out of place. Such a waste of money, cast and potential. We're beyond the time of the first X-men film of black leather and poo-pooing comic book origins. We're in a time when Thanos seeks the infinity gauntlet, Professor Hulk and Captain Marvel are gracing our screens. So what does this show do? Black leather and ignore the comics which are so popular right now. Even when the show gets mildly interesting and somewhat cool, like going to the future, space, LMDs... they drag it out to such a slumber indicing pace that you wonder what the point really is. I see lots of 10 star reviews. It must be so nice to be so easily amused by such poor writing and storytelling. But I guess that the only few people still watching this thing with any regularity are those that like it and have extremely low demands on their entertainment... or have never heard of cable TV.",3
"Had another look at the Barbie film. The first impression is undoubtedly a great colourful story of Barbie finding herself in the world. But if you watch it again, more thoughtfully, opening your heart and mind, I'm afraid you will leave the cinema devastated and crushed.

I won't retell the plot, but it hides a horrifying reality of the modern world that even the authors didn't have in mind.

The film Barbie, was supposed to be an ode to liberal feminism, but I saw a different reality. Barbie's character is not at all central to the story. The film is not about her. The film shows the dismal state of men in a society where everything revolves around vaginas (I'm not saying that, it's from the film). There the film ends with that, literally a vagina. But that's not my point. The authors, without realising it themselves, bring Ken's dramatic story to the forefront. It's Ken who wants to change for the better, not silly Barbie. It's Ken who literally changes his life through his quest to find himself in the world. This is Ken overcoming himself. It's Ken who is talented, resourceful, and driven. And what does Barbie do? She's like a capricious girl who just goes with the flow. She doesn't want change. She's satisfied with the monotonous course of her life: chatting with everyone and partying in the evening.

Unfortunately Ken, in love with Barbie, does not fit in with her meaningless existence in any way. Ken ends up building ""his own amusement park, with blackjack and hookers."" Everything was great there, everyone was happy there, everyone was happy, until Barbie came along and through blatant treachery broke it again. Ken very accurately said then that in this world unfortunately there is only Barbie and next to her Ken, there is no just Ken. Just happy Ken. He was trapped in the idiotic world of vaginas. A world where it's proclaimed that all men are fools and women are goddesses reflexive about every fucking thing.

Gotta hand it to the makers, Ken's musical episode is the best thing I've ever seen on film lately. Definitely on the list of best films of the year. Disappointingly awesome film.",9
"While brilliantly acted (Dafoe certainly chooses interesting, eclectic roles) I can't help thinking this is all a bit emperor's new clothes, resulting in wildly over the top reviews from worthy publications probably too scared to admit they didn't understand or enjoy it - because everyone else says it's good & they don't want to appear to not be 'in the know'. It really is a film about 2 filthy drunks rambling rubbish for about 80% of the time. If it was a BBC adaptation of an MR James ghost story it would be half an hour long; and that would make it more bearable (also half an hour long & alarmingly similar is an episode of Steptoe and Son). I'm not saying don't watch it, just that it's ok to admit you found it annoying and won't want to watch it again. Alternatively, crack open the meths, don't wash for a fortnight & knock yerselves out.",3
"Very good film to have a snooze to in the afternoon, don't really watch it just have it on in the background.",2
An excellent movie by Anurag Kashyap who is compared to Christopher Nolan by many.The movie has everything with the Indian essence in it.Manoj Bajpai starring in movies like Satya and Pinjar has done an excellent job and proved why he is one of the best.Although the movie has not caught up the pace at the box office it is likely to do so in the coming days.Its been a long time since a movie on this issue has been released in India.The movie is made in 2 parts.The first part has just been released and has been a hit among the critics.this is a kind of movie which will type bars of Indian cinema to a whole new level.Hope each and everyone enjoys this masterpiece.,10
"I was expecting to like this Oscar winning film but sadly felt more than a little disappointed by it. It started well enough with some tense scenes as the US embassy was stormed. However it quickly went downhill after that and turned into a bit of a bore.

I usually like Ben Affleck but I wasn't convinced by him in this at all. The rest of the cast are merely adequate. I wish they had concentrated on the hostages in the embassy rather than the 6 holed up in the Canadian embassy.

There are a few tense scenes nearing the end however these are nowhere near enough and I just didn't find the story riveting at all.

As on Oscar winner I expected much much more than this mundane film. This goes down in my book as the worst Best Film winner in recent memory.",5
"I don't even know where to begin raving about this film -- actually, I think I've already started, with my Summary line, so I'll take it from there: this is the best movie I've ever seen that's based on a comic book - absolutely fantastic in every way, from its wonderful beginning (that sucks you right in) to its unbelievably satisfying double-conclusion.

Sam Raimi - whom I've always believed was capable of true directorial greatness - his writers and his performers (especially Tobey Maguire, who valiantly held out for the right script) manage to pull off the spectacular miracle of creating and balancing the perfect tone throughout: the movie never gets silly, corny or confusing, and it never goes over the top even at its most outrageous. Even more miraculously, the film works brilliantly on all levels: it's witty, poignant, profound, full of surprises, loaded with heart, romantic as all get-out, and the action sequences are flawless - literally mind-boggling. Kirsten Dunst, Rosemary Harris and the rest of the actors are perfect, with a special nod to the always-great Alfred Molina, who's been turning in outstanding performances for years and years now.

For once, I'm thrilled to report, the great reviews that Spider-Man 2 has been receiving are thoroughly warranted, and THEN some. Go see it at your earliest possible convenience. And take along somebody you love.",10
"Avatar was the last great animated show from Nickelodeon. Had great animation, great writing, excellent characters and a good balance of comedy and seriousness.

I kinda wish there were more ambitious animated shows from the West like this.",10
Jenna Ortegas extraordinary acting and the story are great in this show. The rest was kinda meh. Maybe would not watch it again but don't regret it. About the story: slowish on the first episodes but gets better towards the end. Loved the plot twist about the gates girl and her not being the obvious one. Some of the characters were definitely a bit childish and not the best. The Hyde was not at the expected level of sfx in my opinion. Directing was very recognizable Burtons work which I truly admire. Jenna Ortegas portrayal of Wednesday Addams was very good and somehow felt natural from the start. The back story was ok with the whole Gomez murder thing and whatnot.,6
"I just finished season 6 at morning. Best episodes are ""Beyond the sea"", ""Joan is awful"". I will give 9/10points on these episodes. There are giving some thoughts. But other episodes are so messy. I didnt feel like that im watching ""Black mirror"". Its seems like AHS (American Horror Story) or some normal horror thriller series. I was waited so long and now little bit disappointed. Where is the old black mirror feeling? Just i forced myself to finish watching it (especially episode that Mazey day and Demon 79) Its so boring and messy trash episodes.

For me the best seasons are 1, 2 and 3. I miss old episodes.",7
"1st thing I want to say is that..if you are a YASH RAJ FILMS fans, then this is not for you...! This the most perfect film Bollywood has ever produced...The film goes through the lives of gangsters and goons...instead of just showing their activities(which all bollywood films does), this film takes you through the pain, sense, feeling of the lives of those gangsters. I did a really really lot of research of those Bihar gang wars and have concluded that the film tells 75% of the truth....moreover HATS HATS off to my favourite director ANURAG KASHYAP SIR for excellent cinematography (that hawk-eye view of filming !!!), filming, screenplay, story and the whole package.....and of-course to the reality in the film that he has shown... And lastly I want to say that this film changed my life...after this film released, I started watching only sensible and reality films...THANKS TO SIR A. KASHYAP...! SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WATCH this film....for a life long experience...I have a lot more to say but here there is word limit....so THANK YOU...! and don't miss this one....!",9

Great premise, top acting, superb action scenes, etc. The only flaw is they started recycling plots and storylines at one point but that was after years of incredible quality. Must-watch.",10
"The Action in the movie is overwhelming , with so many gunfights, hand combat, and close quarter shootouts. Both the character of Chris Hemsworth and Randeep Hooda were great in their fights.

The accuracy is what is I believe at 60%. The location is picked as Dhaka, especially around the Buriganga river. We have the involvement of Dhaka Police, the military, and another government force known as ""Elite"", which closely resembles the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) of Bangladeshi Armed Forces. Most of their clothes were accurate to a good degree, but when I look at the faces of the actors, including the Commander of the ""Elite"" force, they feel alien to me. Their faces did not feel familiar with the minute characteristics of Bangladeshi people, including facial structure, body structure among others, which made it feel unnatural. I'd say if possible, they should've taken some Bangladeshi actors or background crew to make it look more realistic.

The way the characters were talking was also borderline grey as some dialogues felt natural to the way some of the goons speak, especially the kids. But at the same time, the style of talking of the older characters felt more close to something from West Bengal Bengali rather than the Bengali from Dhaka, which we colloquially call, ""Dhakaiya Bangla"".

In conclusion, movie felt good with the action, but there were so many plot holes, as to how Ovi was kidnapped and transported, how Tyler's crew entered the country with such weapons and the logistics. All it felt was something out of a script about getting a ""package"" out, without any character development.

They have done a great job setting up the environment to be as real as possible. After all being a bengali you will love the Bangali accents in a Hollywood flim.",7
"It's funny, different, great acting and the music is awesome. The second season even better than the first. And i just have to admit I'm a huge Klaus and number 5 fan.",9
"This film should have been awarded a Razzie for having the worst plot, that is if such an award exists. The plot was immensely difficult to follow. I remember reading one of a free cinema magazines while watching it at the cinema. The plot is in a dream, that is in another dream that is in a dream while he is dreaming, or something along those lines. For the first half an hour or so I was engaged with the film's plot. Who wouldn't be interested in the idea that Nolan was playing with? But he took his ideas too far in the case of 'Inception.' The whole thing just became ridiculous.

The bizarre plot had an effect on the other aspects of the film. The otherwise brilliant action scenes became surprisingly dull. As I often had little idea of what was going on, to me the action scenes just seemed pointless as I did not know what the characters motives were.Despite this, the action scenes and the cinematography did offer a real spectacle.

Again, one of the positives was that the acting was, admittedly of a good quality. DiCaprio, Page, Caine and Postlewaite all had good performances. But is was such a shame that I was not able to follow the development of the characters because of the plot.

Overall, if you enjoy a mind-boggling plot then 'Inception' will be for you. If you want a film that you will enjoy from start to finish without having to get into it, 'Inception' will not be for you.",3
"This movie isn't bad but just the complete opposite of what I'm looking for in a war movie. If you're looking for a movie that solely focuses on the anxiety and tension of being in a war and the dangers that it brings with it, you might enjoy this. If however you're looking to connect with the characters and have a story with real depth, please don't watch this. I don't hate this movie and I can see why people like it, to me it was just sleep inducing though. Only Christopher Nolan movie I don't like, but he's still the best director in the business for me.",3

"As a growing fan of Seth Rogan and having hugely enjoyed Judd Apatow's productions to-date, it was with some trepidation that I went to see Superbad. I was concerned because of the obvious parallels to the likes of American and various 'right-of-passage' films out there.

I was far from disappointed. This film is wicked and manages to tap into the bizarre mix of teen confusion and angst (which inevitably only becomes hilarious when we are old enough to look back at it!) that equals outrageous and unbelievable moments of comedy. I remember watching Napoleon Dynamite and thinking that anyone who can't sympathise with this character either never went to school or was simply the arsehole who never knew (and never will know) better. I like American Pie(s), but NapD had the feel of reality. Superbad takes it to a whole new level; I can't speak for the girls out there, but I never knew a boy who wasn't even moderately obsessed with porn and the prospect of getting laid. The point here isn't my own scary nostalgic look back at my teens, but rather the chance to look back once again and think, hell I am so glad that is all done with.

Seth and Evan really are you and me... at last. Well done Seth (Rogen) and Evan (Goldberg). I don't think I will promote this film as a guide to teens - hell I am a parent myself now, but it is a ray of hope to those of us who have been there and done that - we were not (ever?) alone!",9
"(Note: Over 500 of my movie reviews are now available in my book ""Cut to the Chaise Lounge or I Can't Believe I Swallowed the Remote!"" Get it at Amazon.)

I'm sure watching this a few times will have the effect of erasing any confusion you might have. I am sure. But...well, I can't recall if I ever saw this film. Yet, yet... There's Jim Carrey in my mind playing a straight role. Sorta straight. Actually Kate Winslet has most of the good comedic lines. I can't tell whether she was once a girl friend of mine or if I watched her in a movie. She says she's high maintenance and she has to have a different color for her hair every week. Yeah, I remember her. My god she was nice. Quirky, but nice.

And then she erased all memory of me. I saw her in this book store and she pretended she didn't know me. Didn't know me! Wow, after all we had been through. I mean she's an emotional roller coaster. And that really dissed me off so I had my memory of her erased. And then we began to see each other in strange places, on the beach--but that was right. I met her on the beach. But then I was a child and she was there under the kitchen table, and my mom washed me in the sink and I felt so secure and Clementine oh my darling you are lost and gone forward, dreadful sorry Clementine was so, so sweet and so so pretty and just a nut case.

And then there's Kirsten Dunst, she of the incredibly agreeable figure, dancing over my body as I lay electronically stoned. Mary, her name is. She and the doc had this fling. He would get her to somehow seduce him and then erase the memory and then get her to do it again. Really bummed his wife out.

Oh, but Clem and I are here as on a darkling plain where ignorant armies clash by night and I think something's missing, the ground or the sky or some wall or maybe something is fused together that shouldn't be fused together, like this old house on the beach that Clem broke into, I mean she has balls, and I was just a fraidy cat, and wait, wait, I am gaining control. She and I together are chasing down the missing parts of our memories erased by the evil Lacuna Inc. people. All these memory movies going through my head--Memento (2000) especially, by Christopher Nolan. There's something going on here with these memory movies. I think Oliver Sacks has something to do with it. Are we just our memories, and who would we be without our memories? Would life be worth living? If we just lived in the here and the now would we be animals? Anyway, this is a love story, the love story of my life. But is it possible to selectively erase memories? I mean creating lacunar infarcts on purpose? Is that legal? It is safe? Lacunar infarcts come from strokes that leave little blank spaces in your brain so that you're missing something like the memory of your first kiss or the time you saw Wayne's World..

Okay, this is science fiction like Vanilla Sky (2001) with Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruz. The dialogue is really sharp with all sorts of witticism written mostly by screenwriter Charlie Kaufman who also wrote the script for Being John Malkovich (1999). Need I say more? I mean clever with a capital K. By the way, idle thought: Clementine's last name is Kruczynski. Isn't that the Unibomber's last name, good old Ted? No, that was Kaczynski. Okay, never mind. Anyway, here's a clever line: ""Are we like couples you see in restaurants? Are we the dining dead?"" I think I said that, or wish I had. Or, ""Drink up young man. It'll make the whole seduction part less repugnant."" She said that, and I guess she oughta know, heaven help us, from first hand experience.

Look, if I ever, but ever, get a chance to fall in love with Kate Winslet, please, please, do NOT erase the memory. Thank you.

Bottom line: bizarro and entertaining, witty and cute, with a nice cast. And Jim Carrey as a straight up kinda guy is a terrific actor, and Kate, well I'll tell you a secret, gentlemen. You can see a full frontal sans clothes shot of her in the movie Jude (1996). Yes. Also worth watching is her debut film Heavenly Creatures (1994) shot when she was 18.

One last line, as Joel says, ""Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating.""",7
"I think I must be missing something. The story is bizarre, it doesn't feel like a spiderman storyline, it's really bad. The acting feels like a teenage drama school. The bad characters are all a bit comical. The cgi is the only real impressive bit. I'm not sure who decided this film was a good idea has really missed the mark.

A real disappointment. I've not really been a fan of any of the recent marvel movies, but I think this could be worst of the lot.",3
"It may or may not follow the game, not being a gamer, I don't know, nor do I care. But, it does provide a reasonably accurate portrayal of what it would be like living in a world turned upside down by a pandemic. It's realistic because some of our politicians during the covid pandemic acted like they wanted such a scenario. But the action is very good and measured, the dialog is fine, when you consider the characters are just average people. Some people didn't get the isolated episodes, but it's clear the show is setting up for a long run so it can afford to be methodical in how it is presented. If you really want non-stop action, there are plenty of short, self-contained movies gear for you.",8
"Ofcourse you all deserve 9/10

Awesome acting, perfect cuts and definitely superb editing All goes to the director Aditya Dhar

But this movie is a true story, so I think the middle part can be shot then it is right now. Actual story is really very serious and long as well if we go by detailing When we are planning to make a movie then we don't have that much time 2-3hr only. That's why I think it's better to show as much as possible the real story.",9
"The plot was unnecessarily drawn out and complex. My theory is that everyone that sees it just says it is great because they want people to think that they are intelligent. You may be intelligent, but if you fall for it you are not. The director obviously figured out the human psyche, knowing that people would say they liked it just because it is complex and they want others to think they are smart. Well it is not complex, they just made it ridiculous. It did not need to be so complex to get the one point the whole 3 hours made. It was not suspenseful at all. It might deserve a 3 or 4 but I give it a 1 for wasting my time and to help drag down the undeserving 9/10 that it has. I just now saw it because I didn't fall for the previews, I just saw it was in the top 250 so I decided to give it a chance. This just reinforces how dumb people are. The 10/10 ratings must have come from children and cognitively deficient individuals. Don't waste your time, and please don't buy or rent it. Download it off the internet, all you need is BitTorrent (free program) and then search ""Inception Torrent"" on google, the first hit is usually the file you need. You can burn it to a DVD or watch it on your computer! Please god (imaginary, but a good phrase) don't pay to see it.",1
"I've watched this movie for the casting. I just love Sandra Bullock, but, boy....what a disappointment! Beside the fact that it's about a woman's willingness to save two children, one of hers and one that she was stuck with, the creators of the movie put aside the plot, the logic of the action, the reason of the whole story and in the end, they failed to explain the outcome per sei. Looking for the reason and explanation for the whole story, I just lost two hours of my life watching this dreadful movie.",1
"First, allow me to nominate Arrested Development for the ""Police Squade! Memorial Award"" which pays homage to hilarious TV comedies canceled well before their time by network Chuckleheads. Somehow I missed ""Arrested Development"" during most of its original run on FOX. Luckily I've been able to tune in on a Canadian channel and make up for lost viewing. It's maddening that such a terrificly funny show was killed of by such short sighted executives. Even at only 6 episodes ""Police Squad!"" was hands down the funniest TV show of the 1980s. Arrested Development is clearly the funniest show of the new millennium thus far. Every spoken line has a twisted meaning that always pays off in a way that has me laughing until it hurts! The whole cast is brilliant in their respective roles so I won't single any particular character/actor. Clever, hilarious stuff this is! What really kills me is that ""Seinfeld"" and ""Friends"" were mediocre at best but received the kind of accolades in their time that A-D should have gathered in its time. Yes, it won an Emmy, but never garnered the respect it deserved. One of my greatest hopes for network TV is for Arrested Development to make a comeback like ""Family Guy"" did. A smart network (yes, that IS an oxymoron) would put the show back into production. They could easily pick up where the Bluths left off! BTW, www.saveourbuths.org is still active. ""Family Guy"" made it back, and on FOX no less, due to the show's building a fan base long after it met with the network wrecking ball. In addition to that, my all-time favorite show, ""The Rockford Files"", even came back in a series of new TV movies almost 15 years after cancellation. And ""Police Squad!""? Even that came back in the form of three theatrical films so it can be done. Give your best shot! Go to www.saveourbluths.org and pile on. If it's worth the effort to post here and complain about how A-D was unjustly canceled, then it's worth the time to try and bring it back! S-O-B Save Our Bluths!",9
"It was ok. Sherlock Holmes fans (such as me) will be disappointent. It was a little entertaining but nothing grand, a film to watch with Children or sth",4
"The show was amazing. I watched the whole thing in a day, but the only thing that leads me to give it a 9/10 is the ending. The last episode felt really unfinished. But on the other side the actors are amazing, the story is well written and everything is just amazing. Good job to the whole team behind the show!",6
Very touching show but definitely the acting is so over Maybe because most of them are so young ??,7

"The Godfather is hands down the best trilogy ever made into film - and the second is, while not the best the most important film in the trilogy.

We get to watch the previous life of the father Carleone and the future of the family under his son.

Brilliant acting and cinematography again - De Niro does a perfect job as the father Corleone and probably the only one who could've replaced Brando.",8
"Still one of my all time favorite shows in terms of character development and world building. Adults raise their eyebrow when I recommend this, but it is truly a classic. Season 1 is great, but season 2 and 3 are even better as you see the character develop.",10
"Throughout the movie, I was expecting a differeny ending. I expected much more from the final part and especially to find out what actually happened. However, all in all, it was a great movie. It kept me out of breathe, since I was also home alone at 1 a.m. watching it. Great job, but I was expecting more",7
"Many things in this movie doesn't make much sense. What was the point of the man lady? What was the point of cutting off his finger? What was the point in the guy shooting the worthless mutt?

The fight scenes are too long. In total, they all last an hour. That's why this movie wasn't good like the other 2.

Movie Recommendation to people who like long overdone fight scenes and boring Halle Berry.",4
"I'll make this short and sweet....What a rancid piece of baboon sh*t!...just kidding! Actually, I consider this one of, if not the best film in the ""Marvel universe"" series! It also has, IMHO, the best super battle ever put on film, digital, whatever! Everything is here and it is a fan boy's wet dream and it is done so well. The filmmakers get it! My biggest issue is that there is way, WAY too much shaky cam during some of the fight scenes (Especially the action scene that opens the film). To get everything else so right and just not lock the f*cking camera down, so we can see and savor the action is frustrating. Thank Odin, they kept it to a minimum during THE epic super battle! Shaky cam just needs to be banned altogether. Period!!!!!! Anyway, it's great, it kick's ass and there is even a very poignant Agent Carter scene. Stay for all of the credits, cause there are 2 Easter egg scenes. Can't wait for more! PS - Tom Holland IS Spiderman and he rocks in this movie...Although I do have an ingrained vision in my head of what ""Aunt May"" should look like...And it doesn't look",9
"I give it 3 for the action scenes, however im so disapointed that after many MI movies we still serving the same dish with the same ingredients, nothing new under the sun, the"" bad guys"" have the same bad stupid habits, when they have an opportunity to finish a job they will just take an eternity and when they can finish their enemies they wont do it because ""its not the good time"" or because they love to chat beforehand, on the other hand the ""good guys"" dont hesitate, they kill right away and have the job done. i was really hoping for a story where there is an antihero like the joker that we can hate and love at the same time, im fed up with this kind of stories where the hero is the only one who never miss , smarter than anyone else, and wins in the end. Anyway this movie is easily avoidable",3
"I think Godfather 2 was one of the greatest sequels Hollywood ever made and I thought they could never top the original. there are no spoilers here because I'm not going to mention anything about what went on in the sequel, just that it was great, and the actor that played young Vito was super, direction was like no other film I've ever seen, a lot of gangster movies were made but this was no ordinary gangster movie, absolutely the best mob movie ever made. In this film, there was no need for any suspension of disbelieve because it was so real, I really believe that's the way it actually happened.",10
"Panchayat, the web series on Amazon prime is a gem which depicts rural India's problems on a blunt scale but makes us feel its hard hitting resonance.

It tells a story of a young man in his mid 20s, who unable to find a job in the corporate sector settles for the job of a panchayat secretary for a meagrely salary. The innocence of rural India is depicted beautifully in this well written show which is filled with truckloads of humour. The lazy style of film making was an excellent idea to suit the pace of the story. Raghuvir Yadav as the headman and Jitendra Kumar's portrayal of the secretary was very nice.

The show focuses on social issues plaguing rural India ranging from patriarchy to superstition and is laced with black comedy.Panchayat is a must watch for everyone who lives in urban India and watch villages only in movies.",7
"This is one of worst the series i've ever watched hahaa what a joke Netflix is taking an important theme (people with depression, bullying and suicide) to make this show. The theme is really important, but 13 Reasons Why has lot of problems The actors are trash, the script is weak, the soundtrack is lame, and there're lot of continuation mistakes, i watched with an extreme disgust of it. Expected more from an important theme like this. Don't understand why this is worth more than a 2.

Note: 2, due the marketing, and the good edition.",2
"If you love action drama then this is the show for you. The show that revolutionized TV with its unique concept and gripping, nail biting storyline.

Kiefer Sutherland seems born to play jack Bauer and i don't see anyone else paying the character as well as he does. The supporting cast is excellent and carries the show forward when jack is off screen. Frankly speaking, I have never seen a show that has gripped me as this one has. The stories are complex but the best thing is that they are easy to follow and each episode reveals something sinister then the previous episode revealed. the music by Sean Callery is excellent and suits the mood of the situation perfectly.

the show is in its 7th season, and it has only got better

excellent TV MUST WATCH",10
"In my opinion this movie is overrated. Because of the rating i watched this movie but there is not good as rating. One i like from this movie is description between rich and poor. I like this part a lot, that's why this movie got an oscar. But overall is not good as rating.",4
"I went into this movie with low expectations. The trailers did nothing for me. Plus they're telling an origin story for Venom without Spider-Man. That is just wrong. But nevertheless on a rainy Thursday evening on the 4th of October I went to my local cinema. Watched the movie......and I did not like it. There were good parts in it for sure, but it definitely didn't work for me as a whole. Here's why:

First off, the good. This is actually a hilarious movie. There were a lot of moments in this movie that made me laugh hard. Violently even.Most of it from the interaction between Venom and Eddie Brock.The way Venom talks to Eddie in his head is brilliant, I especially love Venom's reactions when Eddie calls him a parasite. A lot of laughs were heard in the cinema. Funny that the trailer didn't tell us that this is going to be a funny movie. It really is. Makes you wonder how the reaction would be if they showed the comedic bits a little in the trailers.

And that's where the ""goods"" end for me...

Let's go to the bad, shall we. Let's talk about the other casts. As I mentioned above, the chemistry between Eddie Brock and Venom was great. Tom Hardy is a great actor and he did a wonderful job in this movie just like he does in every movie he's in and I'm a big fan of his. The rest of the cast though, was pretty bad. Michelle Williams as Anne Weying who is Eddie Brock's ex-fiancée is totally forgettable, except maybe for that 1 bit near the climax. If you have watched it, you know what I'm talking about. Besides that scene, Anne Weying is completely forgettable. The character of Dora Skirth played by Jenny Slate also felt flat nearly all the time.

Then there was Riz Ahmed. My God, Riz Ahmed. He was absolutely bad in this movie. A dead person have more facial reaction than this guy and he had an emotional range of a teaspoon (yes, that was a Harry Potter reference). This guy is not believable as an antagonist at all. He was the worst part of this movie. Mr. Freeze from Batman and Robin was a better antagonist. You get the feeling like he doesn't care about this movie and is just there to pick up the paycheck.

Now, let's talk about the PG-13 rating. This is a movie begging for an R-rating. Certain scenes featuring the symbiotes could've benefited from it. It would have made this movie better. Not by much, but still it would have made it better. We live in a world where R-rated superhero movies do work. Deadpool was awesome, Logan was amazing. Venom was a no-brainer for an R-rating. I know why they went for a PG-13 rating (wanting to eventually join forces with the mighty MCU) but was it worth it in terms of the story you want to tell? The rating certainly hurt this movie.

Overall, Venom is not the worst movie ever in the genre. This is no Catwoman or Elektra or Fant4stic. It is not as awful as that. You can watch it and have fun with it.",4
"I am finding it very difficult to say exactly how it differs (feeling wise) from Game of Thrones, but it does and in the most mind numbing and painful way.

I have really tried to give this series a go... several times. But this goes way beyond any weird masochistic curiosity I might be able to muster to get me through this series and have to call it quits.

Definitely the worst series I have thought may be interesting enough to give a try, that I can think of off hand - 3.5/10, as effects and general visuals I cannot complain about. Just the complete and utter mindlessness it makes you feel watching it.",4
"At the end of the first movie ""Tony Stark"" (Robert Downey Jr.) admits to the world that he is Iron Man. This sequel picks up where the last movie left off with a few major developments. First, a Russian physicist by the name of ""Ivan Vanko"" (Mickey Rourke) sets out to avenge his father's supposed betrayal by Stark Enterprises by killing--Tony Stark. Additionally, Tony Stark's main rival in defense armaments named ""Justin Hammer"" (Sam Rockwell) wants to acquire Tony Stark's technology by any means necessary in order to corner the market on Tony's invention. And if these two problems weren't bad enough there is also another problem Tony has to deal with-he is slowly dying. Anyway, rather than disclose the entire plot and risk ruining the film for those who haven't seen it I will just say that I thought this sequel was every bit as good as the first movie. Naturally, there is plenty of action and CGI but like the original movie it also brings back the humor and the same attractive actresses in Gwyneth Paltrow (as ""Pepper Potts"") and Leslie Bibb (""Christine Everhart""). Along with that, Scarlett Johansson (""Natalie Rushman"") also graces the screen. Likewise, both Robert Downey Jr. and Mickey Rourke put in fine performances as well. In short, I believe that if a person liked the first movie then they will probably like this one too. Above average.",7
"I watched it because Netflix kept pushing it in the front line. It's a well made fairy tale set in a modern world: Against all odds a girl coming from bad environment and with hardly any formal training manages to beat chess players with years of practice - The universal girl story, told with chess.

Why Netflix is pushing that onto me is beyond my understanding, a middle aged single man is obviously not the target group for this. Don't get me wrong, it's a well told story and the actors are amazing. My favorite is the stepmother, her arc from frustrated divorcee to smart businesswomen is greatly perfomed by Marielle Heller. And the makeup department had a hard time to ""bore down"" Anya Taylor-Joy's beauty to make her believeable as the wallflower. Her performance does sell it though. The rest of the cast is equally excellent.

It's also nice the filmmakers treated chess with respect by hiring no other than world champion Garry Kasparov as a consultant. As such the games are great, but due to the fast cuts you need to pause to really comprehend them.

Sadly the story is filled with kitschy stereotypes and comes across quite cringy at times. Every chess player she's facing is an overly condescending scumbag, yet she beats them handily and in the course wins over their hearts turning them into charming love interests. The competition between the players feels greatly overdramatized and a little too crude for my taste. The first episode was comically horrific, almost reminding me to Zack Snyders ""Sucker Punch"". It's a fairy tale in the style of ""Amélie"" - not as magical, a little more gritty, but a fairy tale nonetheless.",6
"There's a $15 million budget for each episode, what's up with the characters hair, looks fake! Also CGI in the crowd at the jousting tournament, castles in the background and the jumpy dragons?! Give your loyal audience a little more credit! You've got 9 more episodes, so hopefully someone is editing the CGI-FX for episodes 2 thru 9.",2
I heard a lot about this movie but I didn't find any interesting this.,4
"Don't get me wrong I kinda like the concept of this movie but screen play could've been better but non the less an ok movie people just exaggerate a lot whether it's good or bad it's mostly in the middle

"Eighteen years ago, Hugh Jackman met a lonely runaway called Rogue and helped her to ultimately find her place (and his) in the mutant population with the help of Professor X. Nine years ago he was part of Team X in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, ultimately leading to Weapon XI; Wade Wilson with multiple stolen mutant powers. Now comes Logan, in which the infamous titular character has become a reclusive limo driver, seemingly spending most of his life caring for an ailing Professor X, when he's approached by a woman who seems to know who he is, and wants him to help her and the girl she's with to get to a safe location. Unsurprisingly, given the franchise, this ultimately leads to a high body count. What's surprising is, Logan isn't the main cause. The film does watch like a swan song. Jackman and Stewart have been holding this franchise together for so long they practically are father and son, though given the Wolverines healing abilities you forget who's the older. They are both great actors, able to portray a wide range of emotions as they decline in their twilight years. Annoyingly, they're joined on this part of the tale by Caliban (Stephen Merchant), who may have made his name comedically alongside Ricky Gervais, but seems lacking in the gravitas required playing opposite the wracked Jackman and in the situation they are supposedly in. By contrast, Laura (Dafne Keen) plays the role of brooding misfit with a secret extremely well. Silent for most of the film, she still manages to convey huge amounts of emotion. The script is probably the weakest part of the film. Going from the previous films, there does seem to be a lack of detail about how they got where they are and the cast aren't very forthcoming about what has gone on. But really the main reason for watching the film are the fight scenes, which may lack the finesse of the previous Wolverine films, but in an era of Disney superheroes, the Wolverine is an adult character that doesn't take prisoners.",4
"Please hear me out, DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!! Terrible movie. I love Adam Sandler, but this was NOT a good movie. First of all, it has way too much noise and chaos. I understand they want to portray the stress of Howard (Sandler), but it was throughout the whole movie. Everyone would be yelling, buzzing in the background, the phone is ringing, like come on! Thats fine for one scene but not the whole movie. We wanted to stop the movie so bad, but we just wanted to know the ending. Next, everything you want to happen in the movie just goes south. If you're expecting all to go wrong, thats exactly what happens. Lastly, sure, the ending had good anticipation, probably the best part of the movie, but the final moments were absolutely stupid and pointless. Anyway, terrible movie terrible ending A HEADACHE",2
"It's a film that you can not watch, Jennifer Lawrence has no expression, indeed the same and unique in the whole movie, I'm able to act like that too. The plot is slow, very slow, the Lawrence nude scenes are pathrtic, the love story is fake, like a down jacket sold by an illegal street vendor in Naples. I have no words ... do not go see it!",1
"I didn't totally dislike it, but I did find the whole film unnecessary. You cannot expect these movies to be pieces of intellectual social commentary. But they should still offer mystery and suspense, along with the action. I think the main problem with this incarnation, is the complete lack of a mission. Instead it just seems to jump from one action sequence to the next and the viewer never gets to experience the big reveal for how they pulled it off. If they do decide to make another, they will need to get back on track. It probably justifies one last film, to finish the series off for good.",6
"Nice concept, nice screenplay, nice cast, nice acting.. Its an unique story that I see in my whole life. This movies villains look was undefeated. Over all awesome.",10
"Watched this back to back with the first one. What a disappointing sequel.

The first one had interesting characters, and an interesting plot (though somewhat predictables I think to people who frequent this genre).

Sadly none of that is present in the sequel. All the characters have the personality of a toxic tweet come to life, and are written as if behaviour on social media is actually representative of how people act in real life.

And there is no real mystery present either. Sadly the directors tendency for 'subverting expectation' once more takes over, with an utterly unsatisfying plot that is impossible to investigate along with as the viewer.

The setting is ridiculous, the plot and ending as well. The characters are just about unwatchable. Just enjoy the first one instead.",3
"The cinematography is good, and the 60's vibe is done well, but I just didn't care about the characters or the story. A waste of money and time.",4
"Visually, it is like a long cutscene in a computer game, nowhere near the physical realism/credibility of the first one. It is lacking attention to detail.

There was texturing and lighting going on that really made me rub my eyes. And there was a ""hammock floor"", for example, that didn't move at all, even though people were walking and jumping on it.

Things like that really bothered me even though I tried to suspend any kind of critical perception and disbelief.

Almost everything is CGI, too much to push the details to the level where they should be.

Audio was OK for me.

Conversations among natives can be conducted in English as the focus has shifted, that makes sense to me.

However, the ""slang"" further tore down the world that has been masterfully crafted in the first movie.

Pandora simply doesn't feel alive anymore.

Story: Not much to be said. Off-the-shelf premises, including old enemies, a new generation of generic brats and political dribble like in every other big budget movie these days.

I wish I liked it better.",4
"Loved... The Spitzs relationship and that it wasn't constant yelling. The locations, direction, cinematography, ... The concept. All of the actors, most of the characters. That they didn't go rated R. The diversity. Anything that was smart and clever and made you think.

Not a fan of... Language that is crude rather than clever. Obligatory high speed chases through pedestrian areas. The mystery not being up to par w 90% of TV crime dramas. Not connecting w locals.

Overall, better than we thought it was going to be. Other than the mystery being a bit ""meh"" and a few uncool vocabulary words, everything else was great!!",5
"If you're expecting Falcon and the Winter Soldier to be about Falcon and the Winter Soldier, you will be greatly disappointed. This show is about political correctness and how all governments are evil. Lower your expectations way down before going into this.",4
"Now this is a super-hero movie, filled with crazy action scenes, great effects, funny moments and a little cheesiness. I can't explain why I like Spider-man movies so much, I even liked the 3rd movie which I admit it wasn't very good, but it was entertaining and it even managed to be very emotional for me.

Spider-man has always been my favorite super-hero. There's just something about a super-hero fighting crime, struggling to pay the bills and trying to find time to study. It certainly was a hero that revolutionized the basic concept of the rich hero which has a secret base filled with costumes, weapons, gimmicks, wheels, etc. That AND Spider-man's charisma appealed to me, he is a funny character, he wears a funny costume (not too ninja-like that's for sure) and he has awesome powers! He is not an indestructible mutant nor a green beast with infinite strength... or even a guy who bursts into flames or shoots laser-beams outta his ass! He IS a simple hero and has enough to be cool and interesting, spider powers! After all he is your friendly neighbourhood Spider-man! And by the way, the original Spider-man created a hardening, sticky liquid/glue or whatever it is called, making his own web, because in spite of his initial superhuman powers, Peter Parker was also brilliant teenager and used that great intellect to his advantage. That good analysis and perception of his also saved his ass numerous times (I confess I used to be an avid reader of the comics and follower of its never-ending story).

And this movie delivers all that, it shows how great of a super-hero spider-man really is, his crazy-ass awesome villains, his cheesy jokes, his athletic and jumpy fighting style, it's all awesome to be seen! And for action fans, be it chaotic scenes, be it car chases, sword fights or fisticuffs action, there are some scenes in this movie that will for sure please all of you. Starting from the Bank robbery all the way to the train stopping, it's candy for my eyes... Spider-man vs. Dr. Octupus, one of my favorite fights in Cinema history.",7
"Lower rating for this really fun show is because of two things:

One is the darkness. Seems like it was made during a power outage.

Second, the volume. It was necessary to put the volume up all the way but when the commercials came on it was ear-breaking loud.

Other than that, a great, fun show.",7
"There's not a single flaw I can find in this film. Flawless acting, brilliant direction, a superlative story, phenomenal score... Everything's here. The rise of Vito presented in direct contrast with the fall of Michael is presented in absolutely perfect fashion. Not a single minute (of the 200 +) passes where you lose interest. Best movie I've ever seen.",10
It's fun so far. Hard to rate yet as we've seen nothing much. The CGI is OK. Obvious green screen though. But the comedy works better then it did with The Falcon and The winter soldier. So I think it will end up somewhere between the superb WandaVision and the mediocre The Falcon and The winter soldier. It's for now good enough to see the next episode.,7
"This show was an attempt to cash in on the popularity of Game of Thrones but it falls short. It is not as good as the original Game of Thrones. Second-rate actors, a lot of sex scenes, the obligatory political correctness, overuse of the F word, and a really poor story line. This seems to be the trend with many directors and writers who think this improves the story, but it does the opposite. There is more time spent on showing the details of someone having sex or cutting out togues than there is on the story. Many scenes are so dark you can hardly see some scenes unless you turn off all ambient light and even than it is hard to see. Overall, the show is slow and really does not pick up until Episode 7. You can fast forward through the first 6 episodes and hardly miss anything. The series will put many people to sleep. Maybe it is a show for people starving for entertainment, but for most it is simply not good.",5
"Wow I really don't know how people found this funny. Don't get me wrong, I like stupid humor as much as the next person (Zombieland, Superbad, and The Benchwarmers are all favorites of mine) but this was just disgusting and really not funny at all. First off, I don't want to see a baby's asshole especially when there's sh*t flying from it. Gross. Second, I wouldn't have minded the nudity AS much except for the fact that not once, that's right not even ONCE, did Ryan Reynolds appear shirtless in this movie. I mean of course it's only the women that get naked in front of the camera, that's what makes a successful movie today I guess. And I know I'm going to sound like a prude when I say this, but when Mich makes a comment about the baby looking ""downsy"" and ""retarded"" I thought it was a little over the top. I really didn't even see how it was funny. Anyways if you really want to see this, just wait until it comes out because it's a big waste of $10 in my opinion. Oh and when the porn scene comes up just remember that I warned you about this movie...",1
"Just mindless CGI action, long lenght and that's about it.",3
This show started off with such a unique blend of 80 style and mysterious plots. Now I don't feel that same sensation I felt at the end of every episode that I once did. I'll still watch next season but I'm not gonna expect anything like the quality of season 1.,8
"Enjoyable lightweight comedy (possibly sponsored by Claritin!) from Adam Sandler that benefits greatly from the presence of the often under-rated Jennifer Aniston. They play a couple who finds themselves in the middle of the kind of old-fashioned murder mystery plot that Aniston's character loves to read. The film plays on genre tropes to decent effect and Sandler reins in the annoyance quotient, although given today's climate of gender sensitivity it's likely that vaguely ditzy female characters like Aniston's - who can pause in a moment of panic to admire some nearby wallpaper - will soon go the way of murders in the library with a candlestick.",6
"Fargo is good. It might deserve a 7, I don't know. But it's a treat.

The movie is about two guys who kidnap a man's wife so the husband could get the random money from her father. The kidnapping gets botched, and they kill the wife. Chaos ensues from there.

It's a good movie. I don't know what else to say. The acting is good, the story is good, everything. It's some top notch dark thriller entertainment here.

Highly suggested watch

8 stars",8
"Excellent Writing and engaging screen play. Superb acting by Sarat sir and Ashok selvan.

I could not give 10 star as the reason for the murder is not convincing..

Background music was awesome and perfectly suits this thriller.

Edge of the seat moments were experienced several times with unexpected turns and twists.

Director, editor have done wonderful job to come up with an engaging thriller.

Only very few movies keep the audience with engaging screenplay and this is one of such movies..

A must watch movie for those who love thirller zonar.. please watch this movie in theaters and support the film makers..",9
"Having enjoying Knives Out as a masterpiece of the whodunit genre, I was eagerly expecting the sequel. Well, it's here, but it looks like a whole different (worse) class of movie, despite the required murder. Both movies have a great cast and fine cinematography, but unfortunately there are also obvious differences. First of all, Benoit's character is so different! He used to be polite and self-restrained. Here he seems like a flamboyant douche. Besides, there's so much visual display, lights, smoke and mirrors but so little substance... All the production effort is not even nearly enough to balance a stupid plot with plenty of holes. Also, it's way too long. Sadly, only the Knives Out title was left. If they plan to go on with the franchise, they must do much, much better than this overacted, childish show.",3
"I'll briefly talk about what I don't like so I can end this review on a positive note: The story and most side characters were extremely boring and unineresting to me. The main premise of the show is quite funny but as soon as it gets to characters that are not our main protagonists, it gets unineresting pretty quickly.

HOWEVER the writers seem to be aware of this since the main focus of the show is not the story or the side characters but mostly the relationship between our tow protagonists. In the finale for example the main story is wrapped up pretty quickly to give our protagonists their time to shine. The main character absolutely carry the show. Both characters are amazingly written and acted. And the chemistry between them is just awesome to watch. As soon as these two enter the scene the show immediately gets 100 times better. I live them.",7
"Half way through it gets you a little tired, luckily if you're watching it on Netflix you can pause it and continue some other time. Also half way through or two thirds maybe, seems like the editors are tired and the scenes are just cut and pasted like let's just get over with this, at least that's my feeling. Really no memorable actings or scenes. Scenes with fights or arguments seem like going on forever and just revolve in the same words being shouted. There's like a lot of scenes in wich a charachter is predicting what is going to happens to other charachter with just different words (although is obvious) so there are no surprises. Anna Paquin's charachter almost doesn't speak... and that's supose to be the thing. (?) The movie is just a big succession of events that lead to the inevitable, of course Martin Scorsese is to be respected but in this one it just lacks a soul (?)",5
Only movie come to my mind which is similar to this is Ek Chalis ki Last Local,9
"I think this movie director Insult Bangladeshi language and culture. The seen which is told to be Dhaka , but Dhaka is capital city of Bangladesh and not even close to that are are shown . They shoot outside of Bangladesh but told it is Dhaka. What is this . This is wrong. Netflix shout say sorry and apologise about this.",1
"It was a good Start of the Series, would have been greater if Bucky and Sam met already for a team-up, but i expect it to happen in the second Episode

Had a Fun Time Watching and i am exited for the next 5 Fridays (:",8
"I can't believe the second season is worse than the first. You'd think after negative feedback they could improve on the shortcomings of the first season. The plastic sets returned with the terrible costumes/makeup and the hammy acting.

On the plus side Cavill is decent and the monsters are cool but all else sucks. They should have kept to the witcher story and avoid the world politics that's going on. It's like a soap opera with the bad acting to boot. Wasted potential.",2
"I love this venom movie, as good as the first one and Hardy is just a great actor as venom.

Marvel just gets better and better.

I think movies are getting better and i recommend this movie.",10
"A redemption arc for Bucky Barnes and the grounded reality faced by Sam Wilson. It started as great and outstanding but after Derek Kolstad took over as writer in episode three, the show took a different route. The finale was wonderful and promises an exciting future for MCU.",7
Just came back from the cinema and I must admit this is not what I've experienced. I found it boring as the story line was just...flat...,4
"#1 This show plays with the idea of suicide in a way that it tells people that if they are going to kill themselves, then they might as well wreck as many lives as possible

#2 This show will offer you no real good advices or solutions. Only bad ones!

#3 This show plays very dangerously with the concept of consequences. Seeing almost every bad action is somewhat rewarded

#4 You'll end up hating or disliking the one that begins all the fuss when she kills herself, and leaves behind a mess of epic proportions

#5 You'll end up hating or disliking all the characters that allowed or allow that character to do what she does after she's already dead

#6 As you begin listening to the reasons that drove that character to kill herself, you'll see that she in the end really had no reason to. She had all the right people in her life, but instead of making the right decisions, she simply chooses to go out with a bang

#7 You'll understand that the entire show is in essence a big ""F#&© everything and everyone""

#8 The more the show progresses the worse it gets

#9 As if suicide wasn't bad enough, the show goes deeper and messes with things that are way more dangerous to so trivialized

#10 There is a overall image and message of impunity, that the show also dangerously plays with

#11 Tough topics should be addressed. But the way they go about it, isn't balanced with messages and examples of hope and righteousness. Instead it is like one big guilt fest that does nothing good

#12 Season 1 will leave you with more questions than answers

#13 Season 2 will leave you feeling depressed by what you are seeing

So 13 Reasons Why I only recommend to people that I can see the show with them. So as to in due time speak about the bad decisions the characters made and how I think that friend is also going about things in a wrong way. And I only recommend season 1, seeing season 2 is even more pointless and dangerous.",4
"I love survival films but this was simply pathetic. Go watch The Shallows instead and Blake Lively will teach why you have to root for the charismatic character in these type of films. The storyline it's awful and the main character... Oh, man, you sorta feel sorry for her. The film starts already bad with that godly awful scene of the guy falling off. Very much laughble. Towards the end, it tries to replicate 47 Meters Down's twist, another film with veeery likeble character with not so much of an original plot, but it makes you keep going rooting for 'em.

Overall, you will just want 'em to died to end your suffering.

Or wish for the vultures to gauge your eyes out already.",2
"A) A long list of ""what can we do without offending anyone"" was most likely made by Disney and carefully followed. B) Why is everything slowed down? Are they afraid we don't get the unfunny remarks? C) Why is Beyoncé still cast in things? How many times does she have to prove that she's a terrible actor - even when she isn't actually seen. D) Most of the soul of the original is gone. I'm not exactly sure how it happened but probably a combination of all of the above and the fact that almost everyone sounds like they're reading something they don't quite understand. E) Young Simba is annoying from the very first second he speaks - and it doesn't get any better!",3
"Disclaimer: I did not read any of these comics, Daredevil, Arrow or The Flash. Positive and negative part about not reading comics is not having bias.

This series set a new bar in terms of a lot of things. I always had a perception that only DC has dark stories and has comics with deep meaning. This series changed that. I love both DC and Marvel but for different reasons. The fights were done exceptionally well. All actors fit perfectly in their roles. You could connect with a lot of them. Charlie Cox pulled off both Matt Murdock and Daredevil to perfection. I liked the black attire of both Daredevil and Fisk.

The aspect I did not like was development of certain key characters which I believe did not justify the role they played and their actions likewise, specially Vanessa, Caren, Stick and Claire. But I think with the limited screen time there is only so much that the think tank of the show could do. Overall it was the right trigger for The Defenders and I'm going to definitely wait of Daredevils 2 and other Marvel series leading up to The Defenders.",9
"Best Picture of 2009, according to the Academy. It also won best director and best original screenplay out of the so called Big Five.

I don't see it. I have no idea why this movie got so many awards, so many recommendations, so much critical praise. Is it a bad film? No, not at all. It's in fact rather good film, fully capturing the intensity of a bomb squad. I just wouldn't call it the best picture of the year, not even close.

Still, it does some things very well. As stated, it is very intense from time to time. Every time one of the characters has to don on the bomb suit, the atmosphere picks up instantly. You can feel the claustrophobia, the detachment from the outside world, and I enjoyed those scenes very much. Most of the bomb situations are also creative and different enough to be interesting and I have to applaud the choice to film near actual war zone as it does add to the setting. It's a fine-looking film and the two sound-related Academy Awards were well-earned in my opinion.

My biggest issues with this film lie with its characters. Director Kathryn Bigelow clearly tried to show us the detachment from reality that plagues these bomb squad members even outside their suits, but unfortunately I ended up being detached from them as well. I managed to form no connection with them, because none of them acted like a normal human being - at least in my opinion. They were there to illustrate a point, to act out the story and because they needed to be there, but they felt hollow and empty. At the end of the story I could say that I had enjoyed the scenery and some of the action scenes, but that I hadn't really learned anything new about war or its conditions.

But perhaps that's just my failing as a viewer. Still, reviews are meant to illustrate the experiences of a particular viewer, and this one is mine. I don't particularly like this film. I can admire its vision and its professionalism, but it's not a film I would see twice or recommend to anyone.",3
"I went to my local cinema to see this film about a year ago with my grandma who went with me, i didn't think i would like it that much because i didn't understand the first one very well but i just wanted to get out of the house. But i loved it with its fantastic special effects ,great action scenes, great super villain, great super hero great acting and a dash of humour. Something for everyone even my grandma sat there enjoying every single minute of it. After the film finished i came out of the cinema thinking WOW what a great film i wanted it on DVD when it first came out i didn't get it then and i still haven't got it but i saw it at the Imax and that was the ultimate experience. 10/10 a must for fans of the first or if you're bored and need something to entertain you. Thanks for reading.",10
"Steve McQueen's 'Twelve Years a Slave' is not exactly a bad film; but I confess to a certain disappointment in it. McQueen's earlier movies, 'Shame' and especially 'Hunger', were raw, visceral portrayals of life under a certain sort of inescapably grim reality. But 'Twelve Years a Slave', while it contains many horrific moments, is basically full Hollywood, with emotional background music underscoring the emotions we're meant to feel, and a narrative that stresses the possibility of the individual triumphing against evil and misfortune through strength of character alone. Of course, this is a common solution, because depicting unameliorated misery could make for a grim movie: the audience prefers 'The Shaswhank Redemption' to a story ending in prison suicide, or 'Schindler's List' to a drama actually set in the camps. But McQueen has previously skirted the thin line between truth and unwatchability with considerable skill: this outing, though made with a much bigger budget, is a less ambitious effort.",7
It's a shame that they took this show to a place of such extreme violence and utter unrealistic story telling. It was very well cast with Mads Mekkelsen & Lawrence Fishburne but so poorly screen written that it's impossible to really take yourself to a place where any of this would even seem plausable. There is no possible way that the FBI would leave Hannibal or the other main character alone and unwatched as is depicted in this foolish show. Not to mention the frequent number of times characters go investigating on their own in a lame attempt to bring suspense. I wouldn't waste your time on this crap.,1
"So much potential at the start. Romantic 80's well replicated with moody synth reminiscent of b-grade horror sci-fi. A well picked cast downtrodden heartfelt nerdy kids + others. Thing is, the dialogue, story telling and production quality began a rapid downward spiral. The end result was little more than color by numbers entertainment which I began to skip through to find the paranormal bits. Afterwards the series as a whole this left me an absent feeling wondering ""why?"" Did something happened which sap the passion out of the production. Some kind of derivative art vampire? The cause of the decline in production quality for me holds much more intrigue than the forced mystery this series suggests it is attempting to convey.",3
"This is the exact reason why I try to avoid movies that critics say are ""instant classics "". The flick starts off decent and the actors definitely did a great job portraying their characters but it quickly becomes ridiculous. Other than Rockwell,the characters are annoying and completely uninteresting. The movie just kind of drags on and on and then they just leave you hanging as the movie just comes to an abrupt end with absolutely no answers or payoff. Yes,the writer/director did the thing that I hate most,put out a film with no ending. I know what some of you are thinking,""that makes it artistic and it lets you draw your own conclusion"". No,it's crap and it's a cop out ending. Have enough creativity to conclude your own stupid movie that people are wasting two hours of their lives on.",2
"Really when i saw this anime, i thought the story was about just fight a titan to survive , or maybe just patrol the city to titan's approaching, but i was wrong, wrong and wrong.",9
"Great film. Worth my time and yours. I had a lot of fun with this one, the characters are neat, Chris Evans does a great job as Captain America, the effects and fights are nice, the film goes at a very nice pace, and was overall enjoyable. In Marvel we trust, they know how to make these movies.",9
"Saw the film tonight and it was good but all these 10 rated reviews look like they were penned from the films marketing department.

Just read the headlines ...

Anyway. Good film, very confusing in parts.

It kinda lost my attention early on when the 3 main cast members completely unprofessionally turned their backs and ignored something they should and would never have ... leading to the actual film plot.",6
"I dunno. In spite of being of British drama/comedy enthusiast, this one just didn't do it for me. Felt a little like ""We are the world"" where every one of the actors in it are great in their own right, but put 'em all together for the sake of guaranteeing viewership, and you end up with a mediocre production. A bit too much cameo and not enough substance. And way 'over the top' for me. I don't think it was a bad idea or that it didn't have potential,it was just too in your face and tried too hard. Would have preferred a more subtle, sophisticated aproach.",6
"The beginning of the movie was great, had me hooked. Then it sort of ran out of steam. The ending was disappointing. Sandra Bullock was great, really intense. Worth a watch.",5
"Worst movie story ever. Starts amazing but the rest is pointless. The stage is amazing though, but the story has no logic",1
"After seven episodes, all looks the same boring and repetitive plot, cameos and special guest cant fix it. Just another Disney out of the production line product.",4
"So , it is not good as people rate it , silly mistakes , extra loud background sound which didn't match sometimes with scene , forcefully dialogues . Sorry BB still big fan and will everything you will provide us . "" Plus minus. "" is still masterpiece ;)",3
"This show is fun, light-hearted and enjoyable! And just when we all really need it. No agendas or propaganda here! It's such a breath of fresh air! And, this is the best thing I have seen Martin and Short in for a very long time! Kudos!",7
"I'm a Marvel fan and I think the movies have all ranged from above average to excellent with one exception, Dr Strange (2016) I simply didn't ""Get it"".

Now with Black Panther the hype train was overwhelming, you couldn't turn any direction without having it shoved down your throat. From it being an amazing film to it being the first black led superhero movie, it was everywhere and therefore I expected something pretty special.

For a start, it's not. In fact I'm not sure what I dislike more, this or Dr Strange. It's genuinely close. This is a mindless cgi-fest with a lackluster story and hardly feels like a Marvel movie at all.

Secondly, can people pull their butts out of their heads for five minutes and get off this revolutionary ground breaking movie because of the leads ethnicity?

Blade (1998) is Marvel, African American lead and 3 movies (Plus a tv show)

Spawn (1997) (My favorite superhero) feature movie, African American lead

Cat Woman (2004) (Not even including the original Batman series) Halle Berry African American lead

Steel (1997), African American lead

And if we can touch upon comedy superhero movies we also have Blankman (1994) and Meteor Man (1993)

Do I need to continue? Because I can, this isn't groundbreaking the whole thing was a publicity stunt and people ate it up with a spoon while the creators laughed all the way to the bank.

Black Panther is a poor addition to the Marvel cinematic universe, it simply isn't very good but people are looking past that for all the wrong reasons. Take the blinkers off people.

The Good:

Andy Serkis

The suits do look great

The Bad:

Simply not engaging

Feels very disconnected from the Marvel universe

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

This movie isn't propaganda it's an agenda, one that feels forced is dishonest and simply doesn't need to be.

2024 Rewatch Update

So after watching the film again I've increased the rating from a 3 to a 4. It's not awful, I never believed it was awful I just considered it bad. Since the initial review I can also say the number of mediocre Marvel movies as increased as well, such as Eternals (2021) yeesh that was terrible and dare I say the sequel to this which was vastly inferior and I simply couldn't stand it.

After a rewatch I stand by everything I said, I think it's a weak link in the MCU but I do get what they were trying to do. I wish they'd tried that little bit harder, focused on a few things that actually matter over things that simply don't.",4

"I am quite amazed at the lack of original content in this movie.

They manage to recycle about 50% of infinity war into this movie. Isn't that just lazy?

They could have easily cut 1 hour of meaningless content and add 15min of explaination for the random things that happen with no context.

They road mapped the movie in the first 15min so no real surprises.

Acting was good. Special effects were good. I liked the David character, surprisingly 'natural'.

Also Hoyts NZ - survey who likes your recliner seats - I think you might be surprised it's < 50%.

I wish I had spent my money on a creative original movie, rather than a super hero tribute movie.

I am not entertained.",3
"Some episodes are well done, others are just meh.

90 minutes runtime feels too long per episode, the episodes aren't good enough for such long runtime, it is just dragging.

Started good and ended not bad, inbetween it's just meh.

Maybe good to watch just 1 time.",6

"For weeks I followed the news on the papers and tv, and it was scary. It's great to see it's dramatization. It seems very accurate. I only wished they had done it in Russian. I'm so used to multilanguage productions in Netflix that it took a while to get used to Russians speaking English.",8
What a movie. The whole hall stood up and clapped at the end. Proud to belong to a country as powerful as India.,10
"I liked a lot about this series. It showed the coverup of the Soviet system & how denial was common to make things look good. The final episode is very good showing just how bad the incident itself was, and also how far the system went to lie & keep people in the dark, even when it caused exposure for thousands to radiation.

But the British accents & interactions between different characters with British class & cultural interactions was plain weird. Its hard to take a lot of this series seriously, because so often you are thinking Russians & Ukrainians would never have talked to each other like that!

But overall, certainly a good series.",7
"I grew up reading most of the DC comic titles but must admit that ""Shazam!"" passed me by completely. Maybe the comic stores and stands in my native Glasgow just didn't stock it or even if it was around, perhaps I somehow perceived it was aimed at a much younger age-group, says the guy who first got into comics aged 7 or 8. Anyway, at least it meant that I came to this particular hero with no fore-knowledge or preconceptions.

I kind of get that both Marvel and DC have been slanting some of their recent movies at the pre- and young teens audience, if you think about the Spider Man and Flash features, but Billy Batson, Shazam's alter-ego is actually only 14 years old, which I'm not going to lie, made it hard for me to relate to the character.

I have to say that the general characterisations presented, along with the story-arc, SFX, super-villain and attempts at humour all left me pretty cold here. I felt there was nothing I hadn't seen or heard before, which I could have forgiven if they had been done better but in all honesty, they weren't really.

Zachary Levi in the grown-up title role goofs along gamely but you can almost see a lack of commitment in Mark Strong's role as the super-villain. By the time we get to the battle royal between Shazam and what looks like the Brady Bunch - turned Legion of Super Heroes versus Strong and his seven less-than-deadly sin-monsters, I was greatly anticipating the finish.

I really wanted to like this money but must admit that while watching it I rather wish I could have Shazam-ed myself somewhere else instead.",4

Of course you're able to see where did the money went, CGI characters are amazing, backgrounds... I mean, everything in this movie dealing with technical issues is great.

But, where's the story? Where are the reasons why characters do what they do? I really don't care if computers today are so powerful you can create the perfect flying monster, with every little detail you can ever imagine (skin, veins, breathing movements...) You only need one thing to get all that: money. But great stories are not about that. And this, obviously, is not a great story. It's just the excuse to take 3D a step forward.",2
"Warning! Spoilers Ahead!

""The Godfather, Part II"" is another gem of a movie, worthy of a place alongside its revered predecessor. This movie's strengths lie in Copolla's retention of the best actors from the first film mixed in with terrific new actors for the second. John Cazale, Lee Strasberg, Robert de Niro and Michael Gazzo are given their moment to shine here, and play credible and unforgettable characters. Al Pacino, Diane Keaton, and Robert Duvall reprise their roles from the first movie, and put in an equal amount of effort to the first film, which means that the second is also very good. Copolla had a lot more creative freedom with this picture, but it doesn't differ much from the first in terms of style and camera angles. Still, the director does an admirable job crafting an interesting and wonderful film.

Pacino's Michael Corleone is, in the first, a quiet and understated character most of the time, only this time, whenever the character is riled by a tragic event, Pacino lets out his infamous ""scream"" to emphasize that his character is like a dangerous time bomb with an unpredictable temper: one minute he's calm, the next he's in a rage. Unfortunately, Pacino is most remembered for his loud, bombastic performances rather than his understated quiet ones. Keaton appears to have less screen time, but, like her husband Michael, undergoes a credible transformation from the naive, submissive character we remember from Part I into an assertive, strong woman who will not give in to her husband. She asserts control over her own body by aborting her baby rather than letting Michael have another heir to his criminal empire. Again, Keaton's performance is usually cited as the weakest of the ""Godfather"" saga, but this seems unfair, and she does well whenever she has screen time. Robert Duvall is back with another excellent turn as Corelone family adviser Tom Hagen.

The new faces do very well here, and again, Copolla was blessed with an excellent cast. Gazzo is simply delectable as mobster Frank Pentangeli, one of cinema's most memorable characters. One minute he's a lovable old man, sometimes seeming as dopey and sweet as your great-uncle, asking the band to play an Italian ""tarantella""; the next he's viciously asking for the blood of the Rosato Borthers. He, ultimately, cows to Michael's control during a Senate hearing, just as he is about to rat him out.Gazzo, a prolific playwright, showed he had the chops as an actor as well. Another memorable performance is the Italian actor who played the gangster Don Fanucci, a dandy tyrant who shakes down Italian immigrants for protection money. He, like the guy who played ""The Turk"" Solozzo in Part I, is a convincing actor who can make a slimy villain come to life. He seems to relish his role as the white coated mobster who confidently rules the neighborhood with an iron fist. Less potent is Lee Strasberg's Hyman Roth, who, after Don Fanucci, is the film's main antagonist. Roth's true evil is only revealed in other characters' dialogue and indirect screen action rather than anything we see Roth do on the screen. I wasn't fully convinced that Roth was a cunning double-crosser, as we don't actually see him engage in the double-cross. Strasberg gives an understated performance as the kingpin of the pre-Castro Havana casinos (an obvious representation of real-life gangster Meyer Lansky). Still, Strasberg does have some memorable moments, such as the famous ""This is the Business We've Chosen"" speech he gives to Michael.

Fresh performances from John Cazale and Robert de Niro round out this movie. We don't see much of Fredo in Part I, but he's essential to Part II. Cazale gives a memorable performance as the meek, weak, sweet, but ultimately treacherous middle brother of the Corleone family. His flaws include his lack of intelligence and possible naiveté, which ultimately result in his being a pawn in Roth's scheme to kill Michael. Fredo wants the keys to the kingdom, but will settle for some power, and Roth apparently offered him something special for his services. All Fredo says is that ""there was something in it for me!"", but what this was is rather vague; still, Fredo's ties with Roth are enough for Michael to commit the darkest murder he will commit in the saga: fratricide. We almost feel sorry for Fredo as he sweetly tells his nephew how to catch a fish by reciting a ""Hail Mary,"" right before Michael has one his goons shoot him from behind on a fishing trip. Fredo may be the rather weak and dopey member of the Corleone clan, but Cazale also manages to humanize Fredo and make a memorable performance as the ultimately tragic odd man out in the ""family business.""

Part II carries with it a sadder tragedy than Part I, as Michael ""loses his family,"" in terms of his wife's abortion and departure, and Fredo's treachery and his eventual murder. It is in Part II that we see the full scope of the perils of a life of crime in terms of keeping a family together. Even Don Vito, while running a criminal empire, was able to somehow keep his family glued together. We see the sad irony when Michael's mother tells him ""you will never lose your family.""

This is an excellent movie, much like the first one. Copolla does well here. (Copolla's further career is debatable. Radio host Phil Hendrie once gave a hilarious criticism of Copolla's career: ""what do you mean 'Charlie don't surf?!'"") He directs beautifully here, and the actors cooperate by giving excellent performances. This is a highly recommended movie.",9
Not worth it. i have no series to watch that day. i went to imdb app and found out this series having 8 stars. but when i saw it was the pathetic.,1
"If there is a movie that is worth watching this year, then it has to be this as it contains a pure and simple message, not just for one person, or a religion, but for everyone, a message for humanity. Rizvan Khan a man, suffering from Asperger Syndrome, moves to the USA and lives with his brother and sister – in – law but then he soon meets a divorcée, who is a Hindu and the two fall in love. But then everything changes when Twin Towers in New York are attacked.

Starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Arjun Mathur, Soniya Jehan , Jimmy Shergill, Jennifer Echols and Zarina Wahab (special appearance), the movie is directed by Karan Johar, produced by Hiroo Johar and Karan Johar, while Shankar Ehsaan Loy provide the music score.

Shah Rukh Khan has gone on to prove that not only is he able to act in romantic roles, but those roles that are serious such as this as well as he has certainly excelled in this movie. He has shown what acting is all about and that an actor cannot just stick to one kind of role. His co - star, Kajol, with who he was last seen in ""Kabhi Kushi Kabhie Gham,"" has gone onto re-establish herself as a top actress and why she is always favoured to act with Shah Rukh Khan. Its also nice to see the return of Zarina Wahab after such long time away from the screen and she always goes on to make an impact, though hers is only a special appearance.

Director Karan Johar has certainly moved on and has shown that not only is he capable of making movies such as ""Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,"" ""Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham,"" but he is also able to make movies such as ""Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna"" and now this one - topical and serious movies. He has used the attack on the Twin Towers as a backdrop to the story, which has a message for everyone. He has handled the topic exceptionally well.

The music by Shankar Ehsaan Loy, is something to listen out for. The song ""Sajdaa"" is worth listening to. But if one is expecting all the song and dance and spectacular locations for this, then for them it will be a disappointment. The cinematography is also worth watching as it provides some excellent scenery.

This is not a typical Karan Johar movie and those who are expecting it to be, may find it rather disappointing. But it is a movie that has a good message for everyone and is worth watching but be prepared to take some tissues with you.",10
"The ""Loki"" series is a time-bending marvel that redefines the boundaries of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Tom Hiddleston's portrayal of the mischievous god remains as charismatic and layered as ever, and the introduction of Owen Wilson's character adds a refreshing dynamic to the mix. The film editing expertly navigates the complexities of time travel, keeping the narrative engaging and thought-provoking. The music by Natalie Holt adds an eerie and otherworldly ambiance that complements the series' unique atmosphere. Its strength lies in its exploration of identity, destiny, and the consequences of our choices, all set against a backdrop of multiverse madness. While it may have moments of exposition and complexity, the cinematography captures the retro-futuristic world of the TVA with a visually stunning and surreal flair. With an 8/10 rating, ""Loki"" is a delightful and mind-bending journey that opens up exciting new possibilities for the MCU, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what's next in the ever-expanding multiverse.",8
So offensive and stupid movie! But most of all... So STUPID movie. Don't waste your time,2
"I'm a child of the 80s, and I loved the first season. Lost my faith on the 2nd, but now they've tuned down the horror (ok, only 3 episodes in), tuned UP the 80s, and I'm a believer. Funnier and pure fun. Thank you.",9
"I was interested in seeing this film after hearing positive comments about it and viewed it expectantly. How disappointed I was! The film is one of the most tedious that I have had the misfortune to sit through and it left me feeling absolutely.....nothing. I was expecting a charming, witty, amusing romantic comedy. This film was none of those things. I couldn't have cared less about the characters or their situation. It left me cold. I felt the same way about this as I did about that other famously over-hyped piece of dross 'American Beauty'. If both of these can be raved about in orgasmic praise - God help us, and if you admit to seeing 'Lost in Translation' several times - how sad you are!",1
What a load of trash. I'm sure it will keep a bunch of simpletons up all night googling it though.,1
"What a load of rubbish. I was expecting a film about Dr Strange but got a film about Wanda aka Scarlet Witch instead. That story has already been told in WandaVision. It didn't need to be rehashed. The animated episode of What If? Was a billion times better than this film because it was all about Stephen Strange and his many alternate selves, and him alone. Some of the acting was truly appalling and the dialogue laughable. Wooden characters that you honestly couldn't care less whether they lived or died, especially the character of America Chavez. Do yourselves a favour, save your money and watch it when it's on Disney+ if there really isn't anything else that you can find to put on instead. Or better still, watch an episode of Sherlock and see Benedict Cumberbatch at his fabulous best!",3
"Basically first of all let me tell you guys. I am not an SRK fan but I must say that this is one of the best movie of Shahrukh Khan yet. Although I was already so much impressed when I saw the very first teaser of the movie and decided to watch it. Besides on every new updation of the film (teaser 2, the jabra song,and then the trailer) made me attract towards the movie step by step. And I went to watch today the first day first show of the movie with very high expectations and you gotta believe me guys my expectations, my money and my time just was worth it! SRK gave his lifetime performance in the movie portraying himself as a delhi-based fan of the superstar Aryan Khanna. And if i talk about the movie than it is something that keeps the audience holding towards the screen on every single scene. SRK surely nailed it this time unlike his previous couple of movies but this one is actually appreciable. And to the people who say ""SRK got nothing"" well the words to them are ""that 'something' he got in himself is enough to make him a superstar*"" and at the end I would want to say is...'MAIN TERA FAN HO GAYA !' :D",8
In the beginning i watched this show for like 10 minutes ...the first episode was soo booring i stopped watching it and then after few months i read some reviews saying the same thing ......first episode is booring but from second episode its awesome and as season by season it improves.........i am glad i started watching it,10
"I've never quite understood the appeal of Disney's mid-90s animated movie The Lion King. But, here comes Disney again with its latest money-making scheme to feast on nostalgia, their ""live action"" remake.

So, when we ended up going to the theater, I took this as an opportunity to re-evaluate the film that everyone else around me loves but I always find myself standing just off from.

In a nutshell, The Lion King is the story of an entitled brat who nearly gets himself and his best friend killed, succeeds in getting his father killed, runs away for a few years where he loafs with some buds, suddenly decides to come back and murder his uncle because he wants his uncle's stuff.

I hate Simba. It's not just that he's an entitled and lazy brat for the first three-quarters of the film, it's that he's a terribly written character without an arc in a movie where he's supposed to have an arc. He's the same from the beginning to the three-quarters mark where he suddenly becomes hero just because he decides to be. There's supposed to be parallels to Hamlet, but Hamlet actually worked his way up to killing Claudius over the course of the entire play while Simba decides with about fifteen minutes of the movie left that Scar needs to go.

On top of Simba's lack of growth and arc is the movie's cheapness. I don't mean in terms of production (this new ""live action"" one looks very expensive from beginning to end), but in terms of storytelling techniques to get the audience cheering for one side over the other. The Pride Lands, the lion kingdom, is a veritable paradise where, it seems, that no animal ever eats another. There's talk of it, but, oddly enough, in a movie about lions we never seen lions feed on anything save bugs when Simba is with his bros (Timon and Pumpa). Then, when Scar takes over, the place becomes a post-apocalyptic vision because the hyenas ate...all of the herbivores? Then, when Simba throws Scar into the fire, the Pride Lands become verdant and beautiful again (and all of the animals that Scar's army supposed ate all just came back again). It's cheap and designed to get the audience to hate Scar just that extra bit.

The irony is that Scar, out of all of the characters, is the best. I wouldn't go so far as to call him well-written, but he's the best of a bad bunch. Scar has more to do with Richard III than Claudius, and the writers did what they could to imbue him with the same sneaky, scheming qualities. In the first act, as Scar works to get his brother, Mufasa, murdered, he's actually kind of fun. He's a pretty good bad guy.

Now, you may notice that everything up to this point could be said about the animated version. That's because the two movies are virtually identical in terms of story. There are some small changes here and there (Scar has an extra line of dialogue early that makes him slightly more ideological, Timon and Pumpa are much more meta than before), but they're small changes. The biggest change is, of course, the use of realistic lions, and it does a disservice to the story. Simba's expressive eyes are gone. Instead of looking like he's crying, he looks like a cat. It deadens the limited emotional impact. I do wonder if Jon Favreau, the director, got to a certain point in production and realized that the lack of emoting was a problem. It obviously didn't matter because the movie has made, and will continue to make, oodles of money for the Mouse House.

So, yeah, it's the same movie, but worse. Even the voice actors are, across the board, worse, even James Earl Jones who reprises his role of Mufasa. None of the new voices do as good a job this time as last time.

But hey, Can You Feel the Love Tonight sure sounds good, doesn't it?",4
"Ashutosh G is to be admired, to take up a subject like this and make a movie, knowing very well that, this is not the real commercial deal. It is unlike the other two mega SRK movies of 2004 (Main Hoon Na, Veer Zara), but this is the REAL stuff ! Obviously if you are expecting SRK to jump around with designer clothes, and colourful songs and dances, this movie is not for you! But on the other hand, if you are aware of the ground reality of India, its people, if you have experienced the rural life, this movie will touch the innermost of you!

Music: ARR has few memorable tunes: 'Yun Hi Chala', 'Yeh Jo Desh Hai Tera', 'Sanwariya Sanwariya', 'Yeh Tara Woh Tara' ! Melody based tunes along the lines of Bombay or Dil Se.

Cinematography: Could have been much better.

The movie is all about its theme. And its highly reflective of the kind of person you are, or life you have led. Not everyone will appreciate the movie as much!

The scenes of the small kid selling water in station, or SRK's rent collection from another village are very thought provoking.

The movie, however, I felt, appeals to NRI crowd more.",8
"Quentin Tarantino made an excellent 70 minute movie, and then realized it was too short, so he stretched it out to almost 3 hours with so many long and pointless scenes, that it detracts from what could have been a great tribute to one of the best eras of Hollywood. I only gave it 5 stars because the production and musical score save it.",5
"Perfect, perfect, perfect. Past is illuminating, past is awaking from the dark to lighten the future. Thanks.",9
"For those of you that don't know, Thor is a member of the mega assemble that is The Avengers. Later this year The Avengers hits screens globally and will show several big named superheroes such as Iron Man, Captain America and The Incredible Hulk. Another one of these is Thor and that is the reason I believe this film was made, as an over long trailer for The Avengers movie. Thor's story just does not seem good enough to warrant an entire movie. The film is just hinting at the Avengers throughout and if you are not aware of The Avengers than you may struggle to really understand what is going on. To be fair nothing really happens so you may find it an easy follow.

It starts in a completely different realm. The realm that is Asgaard. A place lead by Odin (Hopkins) with two sons, Thor (Hemsworth) and Loki (Hiddleston). Throughout time Asgaard has been at war with the Frost Giants and when it is finally resolved Thor stupidly heads back to fight once again, taking his team of warriors and brother with him. This causes uproar with his Father who deems him unworthy of being the next King and of his power, so he casts him out and Thor ends up down on Earth.

He arrives on Earth as three scientist are out in the dessert looking for a scientific light. Instead what they do is hit a random man in the middle of a tornado with their van. This man is Thor. As well as Thor landing on Earth so does his power, the power of his hammer. Aided by Jane (Porter), one of the scientists, he heads to the location of the hammer, which is now surrounded by S.H.I.E.L.D agents (This is an Avengers nod). Thor breaks in but can't move the hammer, his power is no more. From there he must adapt to human life but a threat on Earth causes him to defend its honour. This comes about all too easily.

Back up on Asgaard, Odin falls ill and is on the verge of death meaning a devious Loki takes command and decides that to become King he needs to kill Thor. This means destroying parts of what Thor has now become to love, Earth.

The story is weak, I'll give you that. Don't see this if you expect twists and turns cause you won't get them. Instead you get a typical jealous family member, a typical love story and a lot of poor humour and cheesy lines. Such a step back from Iron Man which is fantastic, especially compared to this.

The film feels too short. It's nearly two hours but something about it just doesn't make it feel very long. Maybe it's because nothing ever really happens. The second act is very dull and a lot of unbelievable change seems to take place. The film is rushed and I was surprised when I saw it was nearly two hours long.

The opening war on Asgaard is far too long. If they cut it down they could have made room for considerable character development as I have to say there is none what so ever. Thor is arrogant, selfish and irresponsible but over night changes his entire outlook. So much so that he goes from fighting federal agents to drinking beer (do they do this in other realms) and then cooking breakfast the next morning with a tea towel over his shoulder. What the....? Natalie Portman's character must fall in love with every guy she meets. No development took place upon Thor and Jane's new found love but all of a sudden it just happened and this was supposed to be the catalyst into Thor's decision to defend Earth. It is so unbelievable, no development in their relationship what so ever. Also the other scientists might as well not be there as they do nothing for the plot, especially Kat Dennings who brings a few pointless lines. Loki is also not developed, he seems a wimp at the beginning but, again, overnight manages to become fearless. He already looks sleazy when we meet him, so it is obvious he will cause some sort of deception. Despite slating Loki, Hiddleston does play the part well and it isn't his fault the character just changes, he does manage to play both attitudes very well. Not a lot can be said with the rest of the acting however, which isn't great. Hemsworth is OK but Portman is poor. To go from Oscar Winner for Black Swan to this is a huge mistake. She may look good in a cheesy, slow motion shot of her running to aid her beloved Thor, but it does not mean it is a good casting choice.

In fact most of this film is poor and makes very little sense as to why they even bothered. Branagh is not the right choice of director for this kind of film but he does manage to produce some great effects. The effects in Asgaard are great but the story on Earth is much more intriguing. See this if you like Marvel or special effects. Avoid if you enjoy though provoking film.

"The antagonists are poorly structured/written characters. Carnage was pathetically portrayed on screen, really missed the mark in some areas. Feels like a lot of goodbyes are said without knowing why they're being said.",4
"I am doing a rewatch and just couldn't help but appreciate how good this show is compared to all current Marvel Studios shows. The depth of every character is insane. The storyline is amazing! Don't get me wrong, the show has had its bad days, but overall it's absolutely amazing! I love that they used to make so many episodes in every season. Now, just 6. It's extremely underrated. MCU canon or not, this show has created its own league. Every season is like a brand new TV series and all the seasons competing with each other. Hope to see some of these characters appearing in future MCU projects.",10
This series have beought a new level of animation. I was mostly amazed by the story and the characters something I'd never forgot. I wish they continue this on TV cause Graphic Novles isn't available for me,10
"Sry, but this isn't a 8,7 rating movie. I get that it's all doom and gloom with what happened in the last movie, but u don't drag that out for 2 hours. Main acts becomes sideshows, story is a mess. Put in a bit of woke and u release it. I will not rewatch this.",4
What an amazing movie. This is masterpiece of war movies. Have watched it twice already.,10
"My friends always kept telling me this, ""You need to watch AOT, it's not like most animes, it's different"" After a long time insisting, I said, ""Okay, I'll watch it"" I'm here to tell you they were right.

Attack on Titan is that kind of show that gets better as long as you keep watching. It demands commitment. The first season is probably gonna suck, full of unnecesseary plotlines, overused dialogue, so-so action scenes. It's not bad, it's okay. The second one gets a little better, with some major twists and better pacing, and some really amazing scenes. But the third one...

The 3rd season of AOT is where WIT studio proved that they adressed most of the problems Attack on Titan had in the past, and from that, we get the best season of the anime. Full of strong action sequences, interesting plotlines, interesting new themes. They really learned with their mistakes and made AOT better. Hero, is one of my favorite episodes from any TV show ever.

Now, let's address the change of studio in season 4. There will always have people who will say that changing studios didn't affect the quality of the anime. I, personally, think I would be lying if I said that, cause It clearly did. Overused dialogue, overused CG, weak action scenes. What really sustains this season is the plot, which is amazing. I have to commend both Isayama and the writers from MAPPA, when it comes to the story and characters. Season 4 is a big turn on AOT and will be worth you time. Now, I didn't hate this last season's part 1, I enjoyed it. But, it was inferior to what WIT studio was able to accomplish in 3 seasons.

However, I would be wrong to say that all of those issues are there for lack of commitment with the material. MAPPA had a tight schedule to make the last season, and they did a pretty amazing job considering that. I still hope that they use less CG in part 2 of this last season, cause it really affects the action scenes.

Attack on Titan is a ride. You'll care about the characters and be engaged with the story. It is not only a good anime, but also, a great TV show. By watching this, you'll be doing yourself a favor. Seeing a show like this one, is a rare thing.",9
"I honestly want someone to explain to me how this movie is good. I have no idea why it has any 10/10 reviews. It was unfunny, lacking heart and overall didn't make sense plot wise. It had some good special effects that were fun to see in the theatre which is why I didn't give it a 1/10. I definitely didn't need to witness Matt Damon's bad comic timing or his gross naked butt. I was told that this movie was like ""interstellar injected with joss whedon"" but boy oh boy was that a lie. It was more like a nature documentary injected with open mic night at the ucb. The writing was lazy and as far as the acting goes all I can say is that they made the most with what they were given. Except for Matt Damon. They definitely should have cast someone funnier for his role. Believe the bad reviews. Don't see this movie.",2

"I'm just gonna say that I'm very disappointed. Went to cinema with high expectations after seeing 9.2 score here on IMDb and I after reading some of the reviews here as well.

The realistic score would be somewhere around 7.0 and I am giving it 1 star just to bring current rating down as much as possible since the movie is highly overrated! Producers probably hired excellent PR team and those guys are doing a hell of a job to promote this movie! I'm big Sci-Fi genre fan but this movie has so many plot holes, underdeveloped characters, it's too long and for moments even boring. Visual effects? Poor comparing to Gravity or even Prometheus.

Should you see this movie? If you are a big SCI-FI fun, I'd say yes, but set your expectations low and perhaps you find it worth seeing.",1
"OMITB is really special and, while I understand that Selena Gomez was likely cast to incorporate her large/younger fan base as viewers, she is ruining this great show!

Martin Short and Steve Martin do the heavy lifting, entertainment-wise, but Selena's severely nasal voice and desert-dry acting is more than terrible... it's extremely distracting and offputting. If not for the magnificent aesthetics of that gorgeous building and the magic of the Short/Martin chemistry, I wouldn't be able to keep watching this show.

My husband and I started watching it together, but Selena's voice was a deal-breaker for him. He does keep trying, due to our love for Martin and Steve, but he can never sit thru any 'Mabel' scenes. I barely get thru them, myself.

I understand the deadpan/moody-youth character she is trying to play, but she is failing miserably. Better examples are Jenna Ortega as Wednesday or Lisa Kudrow as Ursula (Phoebe's twin, on Friends). It's not the character, as many Selena fans would argue, it's Selena. The acting is sub par and dry, her voice is way too nasal, and even her body language is constantly awkward. It also seems like the costume designer is working against her. Most of her looks are either ill-fitting or just hideous.

Short and Martin can/do carry this show on their own. I don't anticipate the showrunners will replace Selena at this late stage, but I do hope they reduce her lines in Season 4 to reduce the cringe-factor a bit.

This show has such charm and true Hollywood showmanship in the more mature members of the cast. While I can appreciate the dynamic of the generation gap between the stars of the show, 'Mabel' is quite immature in the way she responds to ""the olds"". The writers have her behaving like a moody teen, but she is nearly 30. This was a misstep. I hope they smooth it out in future seasons.

Overall, OMITB is a breath of fresh air amongst the massive quantity of garbage shows that keep showing up. If they stick to the mysteries and the relationship development between the stars vs. Incorporating sociopolitical themes, this show could go the distance (ie: Grace and Frankie)!!!",8
"There's not all that much that can be said about 'Lost In Translation (2003)', a film in which the plot is secondary to the characters and yet even they aren't really all that well developed. The result is a feature that meanders around without ever kicking into gear and ultimately feels almost entirely improvised in a way which seems more due to a lack of proper planning than a spontaneous on-set spark. The focus is placed solely on the relationship that forms between the two protagonists but, while this is certainly a believable and relatively compelling connection, it never felt enough to carry the weight of an entire movie especially since it is painted as platonic for most of the run-time until suddenly the pair - who are separated by a large age gap and are both already married to different people - silently decide it is more than that. There's nothing bad about the flick, though. The almost dream like direction and spur-of-the-moment feel combine with the understated performances to make a film that feels subtly realistic. It's just that there's nothing particularity gripping about it, either. 6/10",6
"I went to see this movie thinking it should be real good, number 1 9.5 score in IMDb top 250 and 158$ mil in the first weekend.

Wrong, the movie stinks, weak plot, characters have no depth, editing is really bad, it's hard to follow what's going on, action scenes are bad, it uses this cheap sound sound to try and make you tense in certain scenes, the movie overall is completely not enjoyable.

This movie is a case of the king is naked, it is so hyped many people just fool themselves into thinking this is a good movie, it's not, if you compare it to real good movies you will see how much this stinks.

Bottom line is, this movie gets more hate from me than it deserves because it's hyped to be something it is not.",5
"Director, Francis Lawrence's gorgeously giddy, sensuously slick, singularly vapid 'Red Sparrow' (2018) is a spectacularly scurrilous Euro-spy yarn given some additionally lissom-limbed lustre by having a luminous, bodaciously ass-kicking, lock-picking, pulse-quickening, Jennifer Lawrence playing the glamorously glacial ex-ballerina, Dominika Egova, turned exquisitely dangerous espionage smut-siren, who provocatively conceals her devastating set of 'special skills' beneath a snug-fitting, décolletage-popping, head-turning bikini! 'Red Sparrow' is a glum, frost-bitten, high-gloss, John Le Carré-styled cold war thriller about double-dealing, double-whiskey downing double-agents, blithely globe-trotting their bravura, bullet-dodging machinations across some breathlessly cinematic European vistas. These beautifully austere, sublimely evocative exteriors being headily contrasted with some intimately lurid interior clinches worthy of smut-master, Zalman 'Wild Orchid' King himself!

I have an absurdly zealous passion for bellicose Euro-thrillers, and 'Red Sparrow' dutifully delivers all the requisite thrill-spilling, skull-shattering, neck-garrotting spectacle this blissfully bloody, back-stabbing genre requires, but, for all that greasy hyperbole, if one scrutinizes the burnished actioner a little too closely, the frequently facile, over-burnished allure soon dissipates, thereby exposing its hollowed out, emotionally barren core. Taken as a grimly entertaining, adrenalized rush of prettified pulp fiction it is certainly not without value, and, perhaps, ardent fans of Gallic action stylist, Oliver Megaton's no less sleek and garishly adorned 'Red Siren' should find their fitfully fluttering hearts soaring in amorous response to Ms. Lawrence's dazzling crimson plumage! If I might just reiterate, while Red Sparrow's narrative aspirations aren't especially lofty, this doesn't hinder its awesome impetus as being one of the more silkily streamlined, tantalizingly sexy super-spy action-fests in recent memory, and I remain mustard keen to witness a second bloody bout from our sultry, blonde-haired, sleazoid-slaying seductress!",8
"This is definetly a decent war movie and stands out with it's one continuous shot approach. But this gimmick also works against the movie in some parts.

""1917"" feels very real and has great sets, action and its continuous shot style is very well done. Even if it also means it drags a bit in places and the story (which only follows a couple of characters) can only go so far and in one direction.",7
"This is definitely one of the few movies in Bolywood that creates an impact on the viewers. Its based on true incidents that happened in Wasseypur. The people who say this movie is a crap definitely did not understand the movie properly. Anurag Kashyap at his best (Don't ask who is he. Thats the dumbest question to ask after watching the movie.)Manoj Bajpayee at his best after his memorable performance in ""Satya"". But I do agree that this film is not for family audience. If u want to watch it, watch it alone. And about the filthy dialogues in the film. These dialogues are not included in the film just for fun, or just to get some laughs from the audience. They are included because they are necessary for the context of the story.",10
"I really wanted to love this movie. It's not bad, but it isn't good either.. good acting, good CGI... Horrible story that's what killed it for me, I never cared for the characters whether they lived or died.. I was hoping for Freddie to get killed he was just in the way the entire time.. It's more of a drama than a comedy.. Overall I didn't like it but it's ok.. Some people will love it, I'm not one of them..",5
Not a genre/subgenre that typically interests me but I have some old Marvel nostalgia that brings me back once in a while. This is really well done from the writing to the atmosphere of the setting and way the story is being portrayed. Pretty neat and unexpected.,8
"So i basically made an IMDb account just because i wanted to comment on this movie. Its great, a very good mix of business and life (im a business student) and it teaches so much about life. I recommend this movie to everyone. The plot is excellent, a bit predictable just like any Hindi movie , but the way the story goes is great. The humor is great, although some of my friends complained of it being a bit dry, but you need an open mind to enjoy it and look beyond the obvious. The songs are beautiful, has an ending item song which is a great dance mix. Has soft songs (atif aslam style), a punjabi song (bhangra style) and pretty much its a complete movie for everyone.

A great Family Movie and A Great Date Movie.",10
What a mind blowing thrilling movie. You must see it once time. This movie shows how I use internet for getting information.,6
"First up, I didn't have any high hopes about the movie. The first one was kind of ok, not superboring but original enough to make me go watch the sequel. And boy, what a blow it is. No character development whatsoever, messy plot with too many questions raised than answered. Yeah, I know, it's building up for more sequels but 130 minutes of exposition is a bit too much. Literally nothing happens in a movie except for the last 10 minutes which is like the most disappointing minutes in the whole movie which up to that point I could've described as slightly enjoyable and then it took and ruined everything with a twist that I, as a huge Potterhead, took as a spit in the face. A twist in the sake of a twist - no, thank you. I cannot believe J.K. had written it. I could've closed my eyes on many things that don't add up in this movie but after this revelation at the end I think I will just skip on the sequels. Rowling had better read her own books once again and I advise you to do the same - much more entertaining.",4
"Fine special effects - but the plot & action of this film reminds me of a prolonged modernised remake of a Tom & Jerry cartoon. A lot of fighting, gruesome destructions and instant revivals. If I remove the fighting scenes, practically nothing remains.

I like a film that makes my head spin. This one did not. By the way - how can one BEAT a computer program into a crash - in a virtual world made and controlled by an opposing computer? Well one can hardly call such a thing a ""goof"" as anything is possible (or impossible!) in a virtual world.",3

A writer with real guts would have used Muhammed, Osama bin Laden, the Ayatollah Khomeini, Stalin or Mao as his avatar.",6
"I'm a fan of David O. Russell so had high hopes. I kept thinking ""it will get better"" as the movie went on but it disappointed. It's hard to describe the weird vibe of the movie. It missed the mark of being humorous yet dramatic (like American Hustle) Some of the dialogue felt very wooden and flat almost akin to a Coen Brothers movie and I'm not sure if that was by design. It has an amazing cast. I love Margot Robbie always and have enjoyed previous films with John David Washington. I especially loved Christian Bale's performance and for me those were the only humorous parts of the movie. Sadly, he could not save this one.",5
"I never cried on any movie even on iron man death but this movie make me cry , this movie deserve an Oscar. This love story is different then other .Charlie never says anything but you can understand her every word and feel her every emotion. For me it is best movie for 2022. I love this movie, love this movie actor, I love Charlie, love the story telling, love to write about this movie more and more, love the way how it show the most sensitive issue which I never knew before this movie. I want to watch a new fresh story and this movie touched my heart .But in the end I just want to say it is the best movie.",10
Season one was good...but season two got the budget it needed & I feel like all the people involved in season one watched it and corrected what they needed to for season two. There's not one dull moment in the second season. I'm so happy with it& highly recommend it!!!,9
"Lost in Translation is about Bob, a famous actor, and Charlotte, the wife of a cameraman, who come to Tokyo for work. They stay at the same hotel, and both of them feel loneliness because no one talks with them in English and no one around them understands what they think. They become friendly and spend happy times together. The director of this film is Sofia Coppola. She worked in Tokyo when she was in her twenties and wanted to do move in Tokyo since then.

After I watched this movie, I thought that this portrayed Japanese (who can't speak English) as inferior to the main Anglo-Saxon characters (who can't speak Japanese). Bob and Charlotte don't try to speak Japanese even just a little, but they take it for granted that Japanese should speak English. I think it is a mistaken idea. While staying in Japan, they should speak Japanese, just as when I stay in the USA, I should speak English.

There is some humor in this movie, though. Bob's head above the heads of a group of Japanese men squeezed into a hotel elevator humorously captured the difference in size between Japanese and North Asians. I dislike the film primarily because it is very philosophical and quiet. I prefer more lively movies like Swing Girls.",2
"Loki is a series that everyone was waiting for, AND IT DIDN'T DISAPPOINT. For me personally, that show was better than I expected.

Marvel released two tv shows before Loki, the first was ""Wandavision"" and the second was ""The Falcon And Winter Soldier"". For me personally, I enjoyed Wandavision as a story But, the show had so many things that disappointed all its fans especially when the show started to come to an end and more things started to get reveled. Everything was going well until Marvel decided to take a huge turn that ruined it a bit.

For ""The Falcon & Winter Soldier"", I didn't like at all. It was bad from so many aspects. Almost ever aspect.

Loki was different and unique. The music in the show was enough to make you cry when an emotional scene comes or excited when new characters/things are reveled. Tom Hiddliston's performance was great as Loki (as usual , DAH). We got to know more about the beloved Loki and Tom made it even better. There is even a scene (no spoilers, don't worry) in the first episode where he gets emotional and starts to tear up, in that scene Tom was able to prove himself as a great performer. Owen Wilson was great as well and he made the fans love and relate to his character which something that surprised me personally.

In the previous 2 shows of Marvel, there were so many FULL episodes that were uneccerary and a waste of time. But, something I noticed in this show is that there were no boring/unnecesry episodes except episode 3 which even had the shortest runtime. This proves that whoever is behind this show knows what he/she is doing. And they did that on purpose so the audience wouldn't get bored of the TV Show or even this specific episode. Its runtime was good for it being boring and thank god it wasn't longer like the rest of the episodes. And not just the episodes but also the story itself didn't have anything boring about it. I felt like the show didn't want to waste anytime and gave us these things that would make me call this tv series A ""MARVEL"" TV SHOW. From action to drama to comedy to romance, and even happiness and sadness. Loki has everything (almost everything).

Also forgot to mention the great production design, sound & visual effects, and most importantly the directing. There were so many directing details that I won't be able to mention because they are so many. But, all I can say is that they helped in making this TV show a great one. The camera movements/cinematography were my favorite out of all of this. The show has some shots that are visually stunning and it has some things that are new to the Marvel universe and were never seen before in the MCU.

Loki is a great TV Show that didn't disappoint at all.

My rating is 8/10.",8
Don't Believe the haters. This movie was one of the Bestt Mcu movies.,10
"I went to see this ""film"" with my father since he heard about how good this ""film"" is, and I reclutantly went along on Saturday night before the Oscar telecast the following evening.

I know who the writer/director is, and he's the Irish playwright behind the cult ""vulgar"" comedy classic In Bruges, which I liked in spite of its content.

However, there is such an idiom as ""beating the dead horse,"" and this ""film"" is nonsense that tries too hard to be as clever as the Coen brothers in emulation with the familiar murder mystery like that of No Country for Old Men and Fargo.

To make it even more grating, the ""film"" does not cease with the wall to wall vulgarity that includes the repeat use of the most vulgar slang in the English language, which would be tolerable if used once or twice, but abused to such the obnoxious degree that vulgarity detracts from the story of the ""film.""

The director tries too hard to imitate Coen brothers -- including even the lead actress -- with the standard dry humor, but he uses the sledgehammer approach to using as much profanity as the filler, for some lame attempt at drama and comedy.

I never chuckled once during the ""film,"" because the sheer amount of vulgarity in dialogues with attempt at some bawdy humor annoyed me. This ""film"" did prompt a few walkouts with them returning shortly to resume, during the intensely vulgar scenes.

I enjoyed the classic films that are peppered with language and some vulgarities, such as Quentin Tarantino's earlier films. But with this ""film"" with such a long and bizarre title that lends to the mystery, it's long on vulgar ramblings for desperate attempt at cleverness and short on subtleties.

Do not bother to see this ""film,"" simply because it's nothing new and revelationary, regardless of acting ensemble and sort-of originality, except essentially aping Coen brothers' theme and style. All that it does is pull some shock humor with vulgar phrasings and some violence for dramatic effects, with a rather lame and tense-less climax that definitely rips off Coen brothers' style by ending it on the abrupt note.

If this ""film"" wins Best Screenplay Oscar, then it should prove that the voters have no taste, that prove them to be as much of a vulgarian as the vintage-Tarantino-wannabe director, who should stick to playwriting rather than make aggravatingly stupider ""films"" trying to be clever that overemphasizes absolute vulgarity with even less meaning and more irritation, with absolute no point to comprehend.

A definitely overrated tripe, courtesy of the dishonest critics that pushed the rating on Rotten Tomatoes for nothing but a farcically pompous and vulgar piece that only test the limit of the audience's tolerance for perfect vulgarity that demonstrate the filmmaking body to be the irrelevant and deplorable.

"Not since Batman & Robin (1997) have I seen a more 'bubbly-gummy', 'pop-corny', childish film as this.

I thought filmmakers had moved on from the silly times of Batman & Robin (1997), who even George Clooney is keen to distance himself from.

Batman Begins (2005) was a breath of fresh air with a portrayal of Batman that appealed to almost all audiences.

Yet here is a movie made in 2019 which regresses back to the childish, silliness from 1997.

I was extremely disappointed in this rubbish, which should be ahead of the many other super hero movies made in the past. As such this film is not recommended.",2
"If you know the genre, you know the whole movie, but that's why it's so great. The movie is truthfull to genre and got it to near perfection. The cast is amazing, all characters are great and actor performances amazing. The mystery is great and so is the plot. Sadly the final plot twist was so overused, it is amazing if you see it for the first time, but I have seen it too many times and predicted it easily. On the good side after that the movie had the perfect ending shot like ever for this genre.",7
"I watched rhe movie with quite some expectations and I did not get dissapointed. The story is solid, characters are interesting and acting is very good, especially rhe performance of oscar winning Jennifer Lawrence. This movie made her famous, I would say, because its her best performance until today.

The movie is also good, but nothing special. A typical romance. I liked the american football references because I am watching the film on the day of the super bowl.

I can recommend you this film if you like Jennifer Lawrence and romances. Bradley Cooper is also great. But do not expect something unique.",4
"Pretty boring so far. I was hoping for more action and comedy. Besides Loki, there is no other character depth yet. Scenes are too dark (not a lot of light). No hot chicks. Finally, the plot is a bit complex and difficult to follow - I watch marvel movies for mindless entertainment, not watching Inception.",5
"What an amazing compelling movie this was.

You had Daniel Craig once again leading another mysterious murder mystery and he plays his role amazing in the movie as do all of the other actors/actresses who are Kathryn Hahn, Dave Bautista and Madelyn Cline just to name a few and they were all very good. This movie has a very good well thought out story to it and you get to learn about all of the different characters in the movie which is good and their are a couple of shocks and twists in the movie too which are interesting. Also their is a lot of good humour in this movie that is very funny I must of laughed quite a few times.

So what starts out as a fun murder mystery game on a private island turns into a real murder investigation that sets off all sorts of events which are very interesting throughout the movie you learn how everyone and everything is connected and you learn some truths and some lies too which made for a amazing movie. Do I think this was as good as the first one my answer yes I think it was as good as the first one I wouldn't say better but equally as good each movie has their own really good things about it so yeah.

So yeah overall a amazing mysterious and compelling movie that is definitely worth a watch especially if you like murder mysteries.",9
"Normally I never really write a negative review. Heck, I barely write anytype of review. But Michael Bay production really got to me this time.

Really. I mean really. What was the point. Except show pointless violence. Impossible incoherent sequences only CGI can produce.

I do hope they never produce a sequel to this awfully made movie.

Worth ignoring it.",1
"I can't believe the ratings this film has on here.

While not a terrible film as such. The whole point of the this film is over sentimental rubbish. And i love sentimentality, but the whole point in this film just seems to be to try make you cry!.

The Acting apart from Shailene Woodley (Hazel) is mediocre and especially Gus (Ansel Elgort) who i thought was terrible. Shailene Woodley i thought was decent enough however.

The film obviously has some intended messages, but its so dumbed down. I can only think that the ratings have been boosted by the fans of the book.",5
"It is overrated movie - and not in the same level as infinity war. I think the two movies could have been merged into one 3 hrs movie and spare us the hype of 13 years old fans all over the world.

It is not worth it.

Most of the parts are slow paced and dull, and the action sequences are not new or even surprising.

Full of cinematic cliches.",2
"There are many great things about the series. At its best it is incredibly gripping like the opening scene which kept me at the edge of my seat. But it is hard for a show to sustain itself on thrills alone. Thankfully the show sets itself up well with a potent and believable dynamic between the leads (Richard Madden and Sophie Rundle).

The show creators weave many interesting threads through David's (Madden) story. HIs relationships are what both nourish and anguish him, and I was excited to watch it all tangle, retangle, and unravel across the six episodes. I would have given the first half a 8 or 9. Unfortunately, after about episode 3, after certain plot decisions the show drifts from an intriguing story about a cop and his dynamic relationships to a more mundane whodunit. It isn't bad, but it isn't particularly interesting either, but by that point the early investments in character creation leave you likewise interested in the outcome, even if the process to get there is no longer as interesting on its own. The conclusion feels somewhat rushed and less thought out.

All in all, great performances and a much stronger start than finish. It feels a bit like the show creator wanted to make a bold point about his willingness to be unconventional in his plot decisions, but as a result produces a conventional show that underachieves its potential.",7
"""Talk to Me"" didn't impress me much. It's a decent movie, but I don't feel satisfied after going in with the expectations that all the positive reviews gave me. At least it was engaging.

The plot is fairly intriguing; it puts a unique spin on a familiar concept in the horror genre. The ending is quite clever as well. The acting is pretty solid all round. The lead actress does a splendid job here; I'm glad to see her getting more roles. The cinematography is also quite impressive. There are a couple of graphic, gory sequences that really enhance the experience. The tension is *there* in this movie. On the surface, ""Talk to Me"" has a lot working in its favour.

However, I wasn't on board with some of the writing decisions taken. We're given characters who aren't so easy to root for. They might be teenagers, who naturally tend to be messy, but it's kind of dissatisfying watching them make certain decisions and being forced to deal with the consequences. While the ensuing events could be entertaining, it could equally get tiring. Fortunately, you can recognize some instances where the situation is out of the character's control. You're able to sympathize with them in those few moments. The movie is not a largely irritating endeavour - not at all - but I was missing that sense of chaos unfolding naturally. It's just more rewarding for me.

I'm not entirely convinced that this is the refreshing take on horror that everyone claims it is, but it is a solid movie. Don't hesitate to check it out if you're looking for an entertaining creepy flick.",7
"Netflix should study more about Dhaka, capital of Bangaldesh. Bangaldesh Army is one of the reputed and ranked army in the world. But the way Netflix show Bangaldesh Army, that was totally disrespectful and disappointing. In Bangaldesh, Children are not belongs to Gangstar like Afghanistan people and they are not carrying gun at the street like 'Extraction' movie showed.

And the action, emotional scene was so terrible. The story was below average and color grading was so disgusting.

I hope Netflix should study and analysis more about bangaldesh before they will making movie related to Bangladesh.",1
"It goes without saying that the movie is predictable as, it is based on real life events. I recall the that quite well. It's because of that reason that I felt drawn to the film. I remember the anguish the country felt when our diplomats were taken hostage. So, off to the movies we go to re-live the events in Hollywood splendor. - While the story of the 6 American citizens that escaped the embassy and thus avoid being captured, is a good one, the film itself is terribly slow the vast majority of the time. If not for the fantastic characters played by John Goodman and Alan Arkin, this movie might have put people to sleep. That is, up until the last 10 min of the movie....... even when you already know the outcome, it's still fairly tense. Ben affleck is a an average to below average actor, and his directorial debut is average as well. There's nothing award winning about this film at all.... unfortunately. I was looking forward to much better.",6
I watch a lot of films and frankly this one had no punch. There are about 3 or 4 interesting scenes; the rest is just dead space. I love his other films but this one was a dud for me,6
"Not all too sure what the fuss was about. Could not really follow all that was going on. At times the over use of effects were loud enough to cover the conversations between the actors. But I like how Batman is a dark and serious looking figure that however represents order in Gotham, whereas the Joker with his ""smile"" is an agent of chaos, this is well balanced out and the two need each other, its very yin yang. I saw the film unnecessarily long though, and I had to go to sleep towards the very end, something I very rarely do. I think the film was a bit over hyped, maybe due to Ledgers death, he was good, but not all that, certainly not the baddest criminal I seen on screen I think one's death often makes people appreciate their work all the more, as though it starts being seen in a different light. Some nice scenes of Gotham here, The Batman is far too James Bond-like with his toys though.",6
"This movie is based on a novel for sir arthur conan doyle. The novel is great it has many turning points that grab your attention until the end. I was disappointed when I saw this novel turned into such a bad movie like this. The directing was very bad, there were many scenes that were shot very badly and many scenes were exaggerated and the director didn't focus on the brilliance of sherlock holmes as after I have seen the movie I found that sherlock holmes is a great fighter with a normal brain and I don't like to see this. These two stars were given for the novel as it is great, but if I have the opportunity to rate the directing only I will give it no stars without hesitating",2
"I had my hopes up for ""Ford v Ferrari"" but I should have know better. Christian Bale is in it. Bale is the kiss of death. I've seen a bunch of Bale's movies. Only two of them are worth a second viewing (""Treasure Island"" and ""Hostiles""). Most aren't even worth the first viewing. Great actors are the ones you don't notice acting. You always notice Bale. The rest of ""Ford v Ferrari"" just kind of lays there. As the story went on, I cared less and less. Matt Damon does a nice job but it's a wasted effort. ""Ford v Ferrari"" gets a pretty big yawn from me.",5
"Yet another Apatow produced movie about a schlub who is inexplicably able to attract women way too hot for him. (These movies always make me wonder about the lives of screenwriters; does the access to Hollywood starlets convince them that getting women is easy, or if they are simply writing the world they want.) And like most of the movies from the Apatow factory, this one is pretty funny.

The plot is very simple, with a guy getting dumped, brooding then going on vacation where he has the misfortune to run into his ex. There is the predictable new love interest, the funny new beau of the ex, and the usual confusion displayed by people who were once in love.

While the movie doesn't exactly explore new territory, it is quite funny. There are many amusing offbeat characters and silly gags. But what makes this work is that the movie genuinely cares about its characters, and even shows a little interest in their emotional underpinnings.

It's still pure guy wish-fulfillment, and total nonsense, but it is also funny and likable. Just a warning to schlubs everywhere: you're not going to have this life.",7
"If you are a History lover I think this film is for you. Indeed, it is quite realistic but for me there is a little bit too much of action, I would have perferred more explinations and precisions about the evacution of Dunkirk during World War 2 than action. On the other hand, this film is pleasant for eyes because the special effects are extraordinary.",7
"The movie is good. But it felt like the whole movie ran in 1.5x speed. Everything happens super fast. No time to analyse. Everything hits one after one. Yes it's 97mins but I felt it was going too fast like some one changed the speed to 1.5x. It's like they were trying to pack 120 mins in to 97 mins.

Better than the first one. Feels more like a love story between Eddie and Venom. VFX of Carnage was great but Venom's feels like unfinished most of the time. Venom's VFX is pretty bad sometimes.

Pretty enjoyable movie.6.5-7 for me.

Don't leave the theater until you see the post credits. Has a big surprise.",6
"This movie was frustrating. As a person who LOVES magic and slight of hand, when I saw the trailer to this movie I was very excited. It looked like a crossover between David Blaine and Ocean's Eleven, which I was totally into. But the problem here is: the magic is more out of Harry Potter than out of Penn and Teller. It is not a clever use of techniques or age old illusions, it's CGI and totally unrealistic ""tricks"". This movie would have been amazing if the magic was something that the actors could actually perform, something clever, with thought and actually use of illusionism. Here, the plot is so unbelievable and unrealistic, that to me, it lost a HUGE edge and didn't realize it's potential. I know many people who loved this movie and are confused as to why I dislike it so much. I dislike it cause I have seen run of the mill magic shows that could've been integrated into this film and made it so much better. I came for the magic, I left because I don't BELIEVE in magic, like this movie wants me to.",3
"I'm a fan of the books and games. Reflecting on the show now that it's been my big desire for season two isn't just more focus in the story line but that they give more depth and detail to characters and dialogue. The show feels a little simple in comparison to the books and games and some moments carry less weight than they should. There is some genuinely poor casting and some strong as well. The soundtrack is solid or at least stands on its own feet and the fact it's talked about (Todd a coin) is lovely as its another path the show can expand on. Ultimately I loved this show but a seven is what I give as I also know it can be so so much better. Henry though as Geralt, you've nailed it my man!",7
"The humor and script is a copy of Deadpool, which wasn't great either. The movie looks like Guardians of the galaxy and the characters are forced to life from gender equation. Where's the originality? From the opening scene I knew it was going to be bad, the jokes are served to the viewer on a silver platter. No need for brain cells to watch this movie. I could feel my brain rotting as I watched it...",2
"This movie is just grasping its former glory of The Dark Knight. It just seemed as if they blew tons of production money on loud explosions and costly distractions. Asides from not being able to hear a word he says, Bane's character was just terribly written and poorly executed. I knew Anne Hathaway as Catwoman would be hard to watch, but the feminism was just extremely poached throughout. It wasn't like the old series where she was a tad helpless, cautious and relied on Batman. I found myself drifting off throughout the movie.",5
"After the huge letdown that The Incredible Hulk was, my hopes of continuing to watch this franchise had a huge question mark over it. Obviously I knew the next movie was, once again, an Iron Man movie. And since I really enjoyed Iron Man, I was obviously going to like this one too. But the reviews and ratings were saying this is a horrible movie. So after I gave a view myself, the first question that came to my mind was - ""So why does everyone hate it? This was awesome!"".

Iron Man 2 takes places exactly from where Iron Man left off. And that's actually for the better since it doesn't have that ""while you weren't watching our hero has done all this"" BS. Many people, most specifically Justin Hammer, are questioning about Iron Man's ethics and morals, and as to how he decides whether something is right ot wrong. They are quickly squashed down over which they get deeply offended, as they deserve to be since such people only think about everything emotionally. The movie also has a cameo appearance of Elon Musk, showing the stark similarity (pun intended) between a fictional hero and a real life businessman.

The movie makes us see all the things that a world famous billionaire will have to face after becoming a superhero and still trying to live the same kind of life as he did before. He goes to the F1 racecar tournament, Ivan attacks him. He tries to party, Rhode stops him. No one sees the fact that he's literally dying. The Arc Reactor that he proudly wore and basically became a symbol of Iron Man is the same thing which is slowly killing him. Being the rich, spoilt brat that he is, he chooses to mess around because he knows he will not live long, and that's why he uses the suit to have a party, or drives in an F1 race. And in spite of being in such a big mess he never lets anyone around him, including himself, be serious about what is going through him.

The CGI of this movie is just as good, if not better, than the prequel. Every time I saw Iron Man and War Machine fly around and fight I always wonder how did they possibly shoot those scenes. Seeing Iron Man in the beginning of the movie jumping from the sky and landing in the expo is also very original, just like Iron Man eating a donut or partying wearing his suit. Robert Downey Jr's acting is also phenomenal. He looks like he perfectly enters the character every time he is out of his suit.

One thing I often see people complain about is that this movie has too many plots and thus it is hard to keep track of. I didn't feel any such thing. There was too much going on and yet I didn't even realise that until I was told about it. That's how nicely I believe it has strung all the plot points together. Another criticism that people give to this movie is that it feels like a filler to set up future MCU movies. This is kind of contradictory to the first complaint, and also that's literally what almost all MCU movies do. Cherrypicking this one is kind of hypocritical.

However, there are a couple of things I don't like about this movie. First of all the audio quality. Even at full volume most of the conversations are barely audible. I couldn't even listen to how Iron Man goes to the bathroom with the suit on. Secondly it introduced the MCU character I hate the most - Black Widow. Throughout the movie she kept doing the same thing I hate her for: She keeps doing somersaults and X-scissors and beats entire bunch of people without taking a single hit. I looked up on Wikipedia to check if plot armour is one of Black Widow's superpower, but it turns out it's not.

I'm gonna be honest here. I had forgotten this movie and only remembered the good parts. So I watched Cinemasins to write this review. And yet I can't be convinced that this is a bad movie. Look, I'm a simple man. I see Iron Man, I get excited. There's no loophole in this.",9
"The sad part is I do not remember the details of the first film. What I took away from this one is that Venom was the real star of the movie. Woody Harrelson was a real drag. There was two bonus apsects, the film was shorter than the first and the mid-credits. Overall, it was entertaining.",7
"This is a great movie, I fully recommend it, find the deep life analogies and phrases around the story, I think this one should have a nomination and some awards, acting roles pretend to copy some of Pacino and other similar, but has found his own characteristic touch and his own way to influence the story with unique acting touch, Abel d his wife acting is great. The story is also great, not falling into typical gangster styled lines. I don't know if this is a real life story, but surely the doubt comes from finding so much realistic and not exaggerated details together with a great acting from the characters. Will see it again maybe several times. The scenes in which Abel faces the several hard situations with calm and ingenious makes it a life story.",9
"Avatar the last air bender

I finally got around to finishing this series after many years only watching a couple episodes here and there when I was younger, and it's as great as everyone says. Avatar the last air bender focuses on the last air bender aang who is the last air bender Alive. He and his flying bison appa are found in a block of ice by a water bender named katara and her brother Sokka from the water tribe, after they find aang they reveal to him that he's been trapped in it for 100 years and the earth is under attack by the fire nation lead by fire lord Ozai. After learning the fate of the world the avatar and his new friends travel the world to learn the other three elements to battle against the fire lord. While on his adventures he is often chased and pursued by fire lord ozais banished son prince zuko and his uncle iroh who attempt to capture the avatar to redeem himself in the eyes of the fire lord.

Now I'll get into the review.

To be very honest the shows first half starts off kind of boring and sometimes the pacing is to fast to digest what's happening (its a kids show so this might just an issue for us but nonetheless) it starts pacing itself better in the second half and starts which makes it way more entertaining and enjoyable. Overall the first season had some memorable and good moments near the end but it's insanely good. However that's where season 2 and 3 excel. A lot of times throughout the show (especially season 1) it can feel like some episodes don't have anything to do with the plot and are there just to fill time. They can be slow and pointless. But in season 2 and 3 they are less frequent and the story episodes sometimes get multiple parts and continuing where the last episode left off, which didn't happen as much in season 2. The story, characters, pacing, animation, voice acting and action all improve. Season 3 is easily the best and has to be one of my favourite cartoon or animation seasons of any show I've watched. After season 1 I thought this was good but wasn't great. But I was proved completely wrong by season 2 and 3. The story gets more emotional and deep and you start to actually care for the characters and their inner struggles of dealing with the weight of the world on their shoulders. I guarantee if you make it past season 1 you will definitely enjoy the whole show the rest of the way through. It's definitely a show I recommend to anyone seeing this, even if it's made for kids it's still a great show. 9/10 and it's definitely a rewatchable show and has tons of things to enjoy about it.",9
"Even if I hadn't read the books, this show still falls short of what it could be. Teresa Palmer is not convincing as Diana Bishop at all. From what I've seen of her, Palmer is not very talented at acting in general. Matthew Goode is okay...but Richard Armitage would have been perfect as Matthew Clairmont. They really missed the mark on the casting. Even Alex Kingston seems off in this and she's a good actress.",4
"Let me put it in a very simple way, This film is a disgrace to it's predecessor. There's some eye dazzling effects in the first and the end part of this movie and that's all there's to it. Gets very boring after first couple of minutes and then there's the end part where Iron Man and his partner Rhodes fight hundreds of robots and that's it. If you have seen the trailer you have seen the whole action part there is in the movie. The movie has completely lost its plot and made people less interested to see the next Iron Man (If there's going to be any).

Waste of time, Waste of money but still gave 4/10 just for the special effects!!",4
Just because it's based on a true story doesn't mean you get to redo what's already been done well. this is just scenes from boiler room + Scareface + Gordon Gecko's wall street combined so the whole movie has been done before surprised FFC didn't just splice together other older scenes and call it a remake - very disappointed there was no original plot or twists acting was great and scenes were done well and there was some humorous spots but nothing that hasn't been done before. I expected great things from this movie with all the hype and it is supposed to be the director's last movie and my guess is he is just tired and wanted to make one last fun movie with his favorite actors because it looks like they had a lot of fun.,5
"I really appreciate the stripped-back style and the characters are wonderfully unique, but this film unironically left me a bit cold, and I don't find the Coen style of quasi-quirky humour all that funny, i.e Hudsucker Proxy. But still a relatively fun and decent feature",7
"First and foremost a brilliant subject.I have never seen such a subject been handled by anybody or shown by anybody.Filmmakers wanna make commercial movies nowadays and nothing else.they do not want to make socially relevant,relating and useful subjects.But ashutosh gowariker defies this and with a bang!!! I loved the movie,the story,the direction.Talks abt brain drain,patriotism and love too!

why can't we make such movies,i hope the movie works and earns him loads of money here and overseas.so that other filmmakers dare to venture this subject and level of film-making.adhutosh gowariker is a brilliant man and every person shud see this movie i beg u all. see ya",10
"With this much talent, I expected more. The CGI is good it makes 100 year old Dinero only look 60. Every character is a stereotype of the actor and Pacino over acts. If you have an afternoon to kill (and I mean the total afternoon) and low expectations, you'll be somewhat satisfied.",2
Action Scenes are appreciateable but the City and the cultute of Dhaka is not portrayed properl.,6
"I had high hopes for this series as the movie with Gary Oldman had elevated this title from its little corny origins, but sadly this is a very well coordinated costume party that goes through the exact same motions, posing, lethargy and then retake over and over again. I might as well watch someone flossing; just as exiting, bar maybe for some children who probably will have nightmares for the rest of his/her life.",4
"The series is not among the happy-funny types and also not among the every minute changing thriller series but somewhere just in the middle, and that is perfect to watch in any state of mind.

It also has great description of life events make people turn out differently. Loved that. How every action decides how you end up bring. During the entire series we keep switching between narration from Alyssa and James's point of view, which gives a peek inside their head. Most interesting are the statements, thoughts, narrated by Alyssa, which she doesn't actually speak out in the series. Also, the music keeps adding to the story all the time. Lyrics trying to match all the time.

Overall I liked it. If you are into not too simple and not too complex kinda series and have a liking for human behavior, you will love it. 8/10",8
"The debut of ""Stranger Things"" in 2016 marked the first real, huge streaming TV phenomenon. Other Netflix shows had made an impression before: ""House of Cards"" in 2013 and ""Orange Is the New Black"" shortly thereafter proved that streaming was coming for cable's gig, hard. But it was the nostalgia grabs and exhilarating monster chases of ""Stranger Things"" that truly exploded in the zeitgeist - which is the only concrete factor we have to go on, given Netflix's famous reticence to disclose viewership numbers.

Without a ton of pre-release press (the better to maintain its mystique), the Duffer Brothers' ""Stranger Things"" seemed to pop out of nowhere - a burst of a summer blockbuster sliced into palatable ""chapters"" like an addictive page-turner of an adventure book. Its 1983 setting, complete with myriad throwback references, was perfectly calibrated to tap into the significant strain of TV and movie fans who yearn for the onscreen ""Goonies"" adventures (or even star Winona Ryder) of their youth. For a while it was just about impossible to escape the show's signature images: an intrepid Dungeons and Dragons party (played by Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Caleb McLaughlin, and Gaten Matarazzo), a frantic mother (Ryder) and surly sheriff (David Harbour) decoding a wall of blinking lights, telekinetic heroine Eleven (breakout Millie Bobby Brown), glaring with a shorn head, steadily bleeding nose, and perhaps an Eggo waffle for extra strength.

The second season, which dropped on Halloween in 2017, tried hard to capture that original magic with a couple extra twists in the forms of hothead bully Billy (Dacre Montgomery) and his spunky kid sister Max (Sadie Sink). But the fact that the season was so highly anticipated inevitably spiked expectations so that when ""Stranger Things"" stumbled with a classic sequel blunder (""what if we did the same thing people loved so much last time, but bigger?""), it was even more of a disappointment.

Enter Season 3. While ""Stranger Things"" will always have its diehard fans, this season has far more to prove about the show's overall longevity than any other. Debuting almost two years after season 2, but taking place several months after, the scrappy kids we first met three years ago are now gangly teens struggling to reconcile their childhood passions with their flailing hormones. Opposites-attract couple Nancy (Natalia Dyer) and introvert Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) are spending their summer interning at the local paper, while exiled prom king Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) rolls his eyes scooping ice cream at Hawkins' shiny new mall. Cary Elwes, an actor dogged by nostalgic fascination not unlike Ryder, taps in as the town's slimy mayor and perpetual Hopper adversary. Hopper himself (Harbour) is gritting his teeth while Eleven, now officially dating Mike (Wolfhard), tests his patience and ""keep the door three inches open at all costs"" rule.

As for what actually happens in season 3...well, it's almost impossible to say. Literally. The list of ""do not reveal"" spoilers Netflix sent alongside advance episodes is as long as it is strategic, prohibiting me from so much as hinting at who (or what) the determined citizens of Hawkins, Indiana are up against this time. The less the ""Stranger Things"" audience knows going in, the more exciting its twists and turns may be, so goes the wisdom following the first season's success.

What I can reveal is that by the time the final credits roll on season 3 (plus a post-credits scene you won't want to miss), it's made much more of a case for itself than season 2 ever did simply by trying to be something different. The mall especially proves to be a rewarding new location that sets the stage for more inventive battles. Even displacing the action from the spooky grays of late fall to the saturated heat of midsummer shifts the tone and challenges the directors to convey creeping unease through Technicolor sweat. Later scenes set in the manic frenzy of a Fourth of July carnival are so vivid you can smell the popcorn and funnel cake.

The summer 1985 setting also emphasizes time has irrefutably passed, and season 3 does interesting work as it grapples with that fact. For one: Will (Schnapp), traumatized from his time in the Upside Down and always the group's most tender member, tries to slow his friends down as they obsess over girls. Steve tries to find his place in the world outside a high school hierarchy, challenged all the while by his unimpressed coworker, Robin (Maya Hawke). Max, a well-intentioned character who nonetheless often acts as a cipher for the ones around her, takes on the task of befriending and empowering Eleven, who's still trying to find an identity all her own. (Does this include a shopping montage to ""Material Girl""? You know it!)

Three seasons deep, ""Stranger Things"" is also more comfortable leaning into character combinations that have proved successful in the past - like the enthusiastic odd couple pairing of Steve and Matarazzo's Dustin - in order to break up the action into separate stories that eventually converge. Before their inevitable final reunion, the core cast is split into four factions with varying degrees of success. On the frustrating side lie Dyer and Heaton, solid but uninspired in an investigation that takes its sweet time connecting to everyone else, and Ryder and Harbour, who have a prickly chemistry that proves grating when isolated. (It's unclear why Hopper also tends to cross the line from ""charming grump"" to ""sour jerk"" more this season, but he sure does.) Conversely, Sink and Brown tap into a giddy energy that makes a forced friendship feel more elastic and real, while Priah Ferguson, playing Lucas' wry younger sister Erica, quickly justifies her convoluted entry into the main cast. Keery, who boasts the show's best comic timing by a mile, gets a worthy scene partner in Hawke; their growing friendship is one of the season's unequivocal highlights.",8
"The absolute rawness, simplicity and realistic portrayal of the slum life. And the acting of cast omg.!! Especially the village girl struggling to get identity with her father.

A top notch movie after a long long time.",9
"Dull writing, dull acting, reminds me of several other films from the past. I wanted to blindfold myself and fall asleep.",1
"This show is super f'd up...but in, like, a good way. Think of disturbing, sociopathic superheroes, and lots of gore. There've been a few times I have covered my field of vision with my hand because it was just too much. The characters are really well developed and it is an intelligent, completely unexpected storyline.",9
This masterpiece took my heart away <3 Vicky Kaushal <3,10
"In the series of The Falcon And The Winter soldier this time many elements of surprise are displayed. Especially the spotlight is on the newly formed relationship of two longtime acquaintances of Steve Rogers whom he deeply trusts, Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes. The action scenes that were seen during each episode did not disappoint Marvel fans, especially as the action scenes shown were action scenes for the big screen. This causes the broadcast of each episode is always awaited by fans.",8
"I felt awkward for the entire time feeling like the setting appeared to be somewhat childish rather than futuristic, perhaps the messed up visuals in the dreams, obvious goal settings like some kind of a game or something. I don't know the original story but I didn't like the vibe from it that looked to me hinting too much for the audience to follow. But overall, it was nice to see a film DiCaprio was starring in. The female casting was a little disappointing, none of them came with the image of DiCaprio film if it is fair to say so.

The latter half was more exciting as I could connect the dots scattered in the previous scenes. The thing is that I just saw it for the first time in life and it is already 2023, which might be why a lot of it felt a little off.",3
This movie doesnt even have a solid point. A really bad plot.,6
"Iron Man 2 is a mess. It's main plot of Tony Stark having to deal with the fact that he's slowly dying is actually very interesting, but very poorly executed. There are too many other subplots fighting for the spotlight that there is no focused storyline in this movie. This film decides to erase all of Stark's character development and arc in the first movie and it feels very jarring to see him do things that would be out of character for him. The main villain, Ivan Vanko, actually had an interesting backstory and relationship to Tony Stark, however they wasted all his potential by never focusing or explaining his motivations, making him a bland and generic villain. Justin Hammer is an extremely over-the-top and silly character and was not enjoyable at all.

This movie was extremely lacking in action sequences. There are only 2 fight scenes in this movie with the protagonist fighting the main antagonist, and most of the runtime is spent glossing over useless subplots which could have been easily cut from the movie. Throughout this movie, Tony and Pepper were constantly arguing and it was really getting on my nerves.

There are many more problems I have with this movie, but if I continued to list them I would be writing this review for the whole day. Overall, Iron Man 2 is a huge step down from its predecessor, and I was very disappointed with this film.",4
"... don't get me wrong it's one of the best Marvel series yet but it's disgusting they're dropping each episode week after week,I just can't follow it,marvel comeon...",1
"It doesn't deserve to be among the top rated series of Imdb for sure and that's why i review this series to provide a reality check.

Like any Zombie/Infected universe content it starts of good with build-up and character development. The first couple of episodes will keep you entertained but then it will start to run dry as they fail to keep the adventures interesting.

The shining point of the series is the production grade presentation of the infected which are outstanding and better than any other zombie movie. However they are not using their presence efficiently enough as if they don't want to play their triumph card too early. This decision leads to the series becoming a stale drama and the interaction between characters met on the way is lacking in depth or variety.

Atleast in series like TWD at the first half of the season there were several characters with interesting development and you could easily pick characters that you relate to.

Here the characters are just bland and the two main ones aren't special enough to keep you entertained along with the generic bandit villains that we have seen countless of times already.

In short: The show had great promise but deteriorated the longer it revealed it's slow unadventurous state.",7
"I saw this at Toronto and Spielberg showing up got everyone excited and indeed this is a good film. It's poignant, touching, at times even moving. It will be very popular on any streamer that gets it. But talk of Oscars is stretching it. It isn't THAT great. In fact the comedy almost all falls flat and in many ways the film comes off as closed off, not the open raw look at a persons life but more like a carefully crafted ""fiction"", sort of a winky cheeky look at my life and beginnings but not really it's fiction but it's not. Good movie, will do great in streaming. But it's no magic carpet ride to the academy awards so don't believe that paid-for hype.",4
"I tried to watch it, but its kinda boring. And u cannot connect with the main character. The idea is good but thats all. My opinion is they should really work on it. At current state of the series this is toneless.",2
"I usually don't enjoy spy movies, because I can't relate to the world that they're in. However, I love the Indiana Jones movies. Why is that? Because the Indiana Jones movies have personality. Like a lot of spy movies, Red Sparrow is very monotone. It's as if the director told all the actors, ""I want every line in the movie delivered like this."" The effect was flat and kind of depressing. For me, it takes more than violence, nudity, and risky sexual content to hold my interest. I need to be able to connect. This movie started out on a very positive note, but then it became boring. It's a solid production, well shot, and had a strong grasp on itself, but it just wasn't my cup of tea.",6
"Let me first start about the good things; The way it is shot, the fx, the sound are all amazing! People with amazing power sturgling to handle life it self and handle the responsibility. Then the personal issues come around the whole time when it matters the most. Everytime they have to save the world or dont use their power they use it for their personal gain and struggles. It is just annoying and doesnt resemble a normal sain persons choise. I am done with it. The first one was bad and the second one is even worse!",1
"This was much better than I expected. Based on the trailer, I thought it would be boobs and explosions. I was wrong! It's an intelligent thriller that keeps you guessing until the end. The cast is great and I also liked the locations and sets.

The plot involves a young Russian woman who becomes a spy and seems to be favored due to family contacts. She appears to develop a relationship with a male CIA officer. Who can trust whom? What is her game? Are people who they seem to be?

As a postscript, my father, a former CIA officer, also liked it!",9
"Daredevil is yet another excruciatingly dull, formulaic outing from the Marvel stable. After the awful Agents of Shield and its dismal spin off Agent Carter I had hoped we had seen the last of this cheesy comic book franchise.

Sadly that was not to be the case. I should have known better but I took a look at Daredevil. Really there is not a lot to say. Classic US stick about a guy with ""traditional"" read ""conservative"" values turned vigilante with a hero complex.

Like almost all of its counterparts, its driven by melodramatic, often corny, exposition. Forget about meaningful character development or interesting story lines, they are conspicuous by their absence.

All in all if you are not selective in your viewing and like lots of guns, fighting and mindless noise, this might appeal to you. If, on the other hand you like interesting, engaging series I'd give this one a pass. Two out of ten from me.",2
Shot for shot remake with more exposition to pad the run time. Dialogue doesn't fit the darker look of the film. Watch the original and thank me later.,4
"Sorry folks. Definitely doesn't deserve a 8.4/10 It's barely funny, barely intriguing, and barely thrilling.",4
"First of all i want to tell about the starting views of the movie Swades ,i felt these are attractive according to the poster of the movie and as well as the starting parts of the movie. After this the next part of the movie is go on.some effects in this section or in this part is good but these all are less in entertaining.entertaining scenes of this movie is average on the basis of emotions. Songs of this movie is good and i think selection of singers are good.music direction is very sensitive and important part of the movie and this movie not succeeded to present the emotions and others variations. Middle part and end part of the movie presents with some technical terms.",6
"One of the worst shows made from Disney and marvel. Soo slow the pace and it keeps rehashing the story, there's barely any action.

The second episode was just god awful.",5
"It was disturbing sometimes, which wasn't bad thing for me, because I was ready for taking any kind of thing.

It unflinchingly explores the issues of society through deeply intimate stories and characters and their interactions with technology.

It's one of the best series of the last years due this uniqueness. Since is treating and telling story and problems about the actual or near future society and the dark side of technology you have to consider that every single episode is a reflection and meditation starting point that most of the time can let the viewer with a sad sensation or let with a bitter taste.

Each self-contained episode is brilliantly crafted and produced. The stories are compelling and the acting is phenomenal. This show is not for those looking exclusively for entertainment, as the episodes leave you with a distinctly empty feeling. Although this is obviously the intent, one cannot help but wonder at the creators' bleak outlook on the world.",9
"This movie has no entertainment value. The acting is satisfactory, the story is week, disparately trying to be original using a minimalistic storyline backed up by artistic shots and big names. The artistic direction sells to the critics but certainly not to the general audience or myself.

I'm sorry but this film is utterly depressing and increadably dull. Being a fan of quality and entertaining movies I don't rate Eternal sunshine at all. If however you enjoy artistic movies I would consider this as an 8 out of 10. IF YOUR NOT INTO ARTISTIC MOVIES DO NOT WATCH THIS FOR THE BIG NAMES OR REVIEWS, YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED.

The worst movie that I have watched in recent years",3
"While researching a new source of energy, Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina) is dominated by the arms he uses to start a fusion process, transforming himself in the evil Dr. Octopus. The Spider Man fights against him, while facing many problems in his private life: Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst) is going to get married with the son of J. Jonah Jameson (J. K. Sommons), the owner of the local newspaper and great enemy of Spider Man; Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) lost his job, has no money for the rent and his aunt is having serious problems to pay her mortgage. He has problems also in the university, having lower grades. Spider Man 2' is an excellent sequel, having a good story and excellent special effects. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil) : 'Homem Aranha 2' ('Spider Man 2')",8
"No-one, but no-one has achieved the feel of the dream state like David Lynch. On a fraction of the budget of this film,and zero CGI, he succeeds in being way more unsettling and detached from reality than any other director, and captures the vocabulary of dreaming authentically. Nolan is NOT a genius: The Dark Night was merely OK, and he dragged Gotham City into the gutter of a run - down Detroit, not the fantastical Gothic structures it should be. Memento was more interesting, though.

When I saw the trailer I thought: ""Oh God, not Leo again. "" Or is it Neo? And the collapsing and spontaneously forming cityscapes are straight out of Dark City. Dark City was a Noir/Sci- Fi hybrid, too, made a long time before this. Doesn't have the awe-factor of,say 2001, or even Blade Runner.

Not original, not brilliant, not lasting.

It's true, what another reviewer said. This film is definitely age-indexed. The younger you are, the more impressed you'll be. The older you are, you might nod off, perchance to dream....",4
5 Awesome episodes with many inspiring characters...you'll love this if you're also want a leave from your 9 to 5 life.,10
I absolutely loved the first season. It was great. The second season went downhill and totally ruined it. They had a lot of material to play off of and totally just ruined it.,8
"I did not play all the games but I have read the books, repeatedly. I managed to get over the fact that Netflix took a source material inspired by Slavic background and made it multicultural. I was almost OK with casting choices. Season 1 was fairly close to the canon.

Season 2 is just bad. It's as if they replaced all the writers from season 1 with people who perhaps played a game for an hour... and that's it.

Re casting. Ciri in books is a young girl. Something like 13. Freya is not a child.

Witcher books are full of racism and politics. They are not a slasher for small children. Season 2 seems to be written by children for children. How else to explain that they made mother Nenneke, a priestess use an F word?

Season 2 mixes books and story lines. It misses the point and creates a mess that is inferior to the story from the saga. Blood of Elves is a dark book, but it is also funny and smart. People in Season 2 have one expression only. Mages in books are powerful, mages in the series are pitiful and mopey. Season 1 had nudity, Season 2 has none whatsoever, but it has monster fights for children... with monsters that were not in the books and serve no purpose at all.

Interestingly, Geralt is not a witcher anymore. Books are close to the joke about the Lord of the Rings... they were walking the whole time. Geralt was always broke, traveling from country to country, trying to get by.

Season 1 was OK. Season 2 just woke and sad. If you are a fan of books, stay with books.",5
"This sequel to the 2018's Venom is not so great according to me as the expectation were much much higher and it just turned out to be a copy of its predecessor. The action scenes were too much cgi as expected but i really think Woody Harrelson wasn't as good as Riz Ahmed in the last movie and the iconic Carnage vs Venom fight we expected wasn't so ""iconic"" it was just a lower version of riot vs venom. I really liked the comedy part of this movie tho , this movie could have been longer to make it better but Andy Serkis did great as compared to the other movies directed by him.",6
"This is one of those slow-paced movies with a lot more atmosphere than substance. This is not necessarily a bad thing. If you want to see a truly wonderful atmospheric, slow-paced movie, go see Scarlett Johansson's other recent movie, Girl with a Pearl Earring. But Lost in Translation just doesn't work for me. Not much happens. There isn't much dialog and what little dialog there is comes across as bland and uninteresting. Despite all the hype, Bill Murray sleepwalks through his role. As for Johansson, she was much better in Ghost World and Pearl Earring. The May-September relationship between the two does have a kind of poignant bitter-sweetness, but it doesn't go anywhere. They just walk around Tokyo for a few days, not saying much to each other (and that's about all that happens in the movie). The director, Sophia Coppola, manages to make the Tokyo look really unexciting, not a place you would care to visit. The end result is a thoroughly boring movie – you can walk out half way through and not miss much. I give it 4 out of 10.",4
Too fast which gives you headache and bad storyline and writing like most of the hollywood movies these days,4
"This movie was well written, well acted, and the theme (the have's & have not's, & what they do for personal gain and how to keep it) was, indeed, vividly executed. I'm just regretful that it spent so much time on the dark sides of human nature. It's my own fault for sticking with it to the bitter end, but can you blame me? It's a pandemic, for crissake! I've already watched all the movies that actually make me feel good about the human race. This just isn't one of those.",2
"I like sci-fi, do you? then you may likeee this movie

*but* it's no documentary (i.e. don't expect to learn anything new or cool that you didn't already know or assume). Double I.E. - whatever you've ever hoped to be portrayed in floating-in-space movies you've already seen in movies like Apollo 13 and Armageddon.

I like action, do you? well, this movie has some, i.e. a little, like 4/10 worth quantity-wise, but it's like 8/10 largely due to the nice visuals, animation-graphics/cgi/rotoscoping/whatever-you-call-it. If you like to play video games like me you may like the occasional moments of being suspended in space and wondering which buttons one might push to reorient yourself, while avoiding debris at the same time.

I like drama, do you? this movie could just barely qualify for drama, though it's no save-the-world Armageddon, or Downtown Abbey, or whatever you please. I did tear up in parts near the end, but i do that moreso than most others do generally anyways, i presume. I tear up too when the trumpets blow during starting-television coverage of breakfast at Wimbledon each year, if you know what i mean.

What fails most about this movie is the blatant use of two of the worst and most-gratuitously used emotional tugs of all time, the same-old never-ending cliché' oft-used in movies about ""Ditzy girl gets chased, falls down, shoe comes off (or heel breaks)', barely makes it out"" routine, and the man needlessly sacrifices self for woman routine. I found myself angry at the film about 5 to 10 minutes in when i realized that that was the direction they were taking it with the S.Bullock character. And then i more or less had to give-up completely on the reality-aspect and emotionally-involved aspects of the film with the purposefully and needlessly gratuitous hangin'-by-a-thread/throw-me-a- line use-of-death routine. (Literally). I have no problem with total carnage, ala Saving Private Ryan, or everyone lives, ala The Lord of The Rings, but gratuitous use of men stepping on grenades so that some ditz- girl can go the distance is bound to turn off much of the population, both male and female.

Like i said in the subject line, about a 7/10. IMDb says budget was 100mil - i guess i can see that, and you can too just by looking at the long list of animators used on this film on IMDb's credit-page for this movie. I'm glad i saw it; i wouldn't say it wasn't worth the money, as it at-least adds to the cannon of sci-fi movies i've seen over the years, but i doubt it rises to the level of water-cooler talk that a Apollo-13 did, nor should it. I suppose it's OK, in-a-way, to see a director or script-writer try to make a minimalist movie that largely revolves around 2 characters, as that tactic is seldom used, and for that the director could receive some credit, however, if he'd wanted to, he could have elongated the introduction and the conclusion just a bit, though what he had worked in a get-to-the-point and let-the-viewers'- imagination-decides-what-happens-next sort of ways. I can't really comment too much on the acting, since these are your typical, typecast, big-budget actors doing big-budget roles, and sadly, they seemingly took stereotypical scripts that involved the aforesaid helpless-girl/chivalrous-guy routines.

Don't expect to learn anything, but be impressed with the visuals, much like you might for a Transformers, or really any modern movie that now uses cool-unknown effects from the minds of all sorts of background contributing artists. Whoever is responsible for some of the scenes and/or camera work involving the destructive-chaos and debris-mayhem, what with the dangerous fly-bys and rotating camera views, deserves some props for viewing-angle-choreography.

Last word, i almost forgot... yeah i partly went to see if because i was wondering if it was at all based on reality, which it is obviously not. There's no Apollo 13, true-to-life history to be had here. It's all fiction. And lastly, there were a couple brief shots of S.Bullock trying to make her look like the Tomb Raider girl (if you know what i mean), albeit in an A Space Odyssey fetalesqe position, it's just too bad they had to use a B-rated, KeanuReevesish/MatthewMacConaughy type actress to do it. I would of rather wished she either puked or crapped her pants at some point, or just gone all-out hysterical, as no doubt many of us would, or at least let out some primal-scream of victory at the end, not the emotional mediocrity we were given. Washed-up-on-the- beach yes, but Lost it is not.

Oh, and also (last last word), the other reason you may decide to see it is because of the title character, Clooney. i admit his bearded-pieces in recent years have given me more hope that he, too, may rise from B- actor, kevin-costner-like movie-qualities, even though his bearded characters still had a one-dimensional, or overly violent quality to them. Sadly, it seems he has taken a minor step back in this role, though due partly to the script/script-choice, as his character is whittled down from main-draw marketing, to passe'-narrator, repeating for 1/2 an hour what we were all already thinking (relax, breathe, calm- down, relax, calm-down, breathe, relax, breathe, calm-down, etc. etc.).",7
"It took me about four episodes to get into this show. I'm not sure why people are so down on Season 2. I think you will know at the first episode of Season 2 whether you're up for it or not. I loved it. Not saying I understood it, but I loved it.",8
"If you can hack the relentless virtue-signalling, the tiringly drawn-out buildup to something - anything (!) - happening, the seemingly irrelevant hovering around lesser characters and the fact that this series doesn't make any damn sense if watched on its own, then the Punisher might be the show for you.

The writers really go out of their way to avoid playing to the audience's expectations by depicting the Punisher doing anything too cliché like, you know, beating up or shooting bad guys. The result is a more layered character who spends most of the first series brooding and procrastinating, lost in his own thoughts, punishing himself.

I'd waited patiently for it to build up through six episodes before concluding that the plot is probably already going as fast as it's willing to go, about half the speed of a scarecrow with emphysema. Hope kept me going - hope that I would see this version of Frank Castle impress me.

Meanwhile I'd heard great things about Daredevil, and heard that it crosses over with the Punisher, so I decided to give it a watch while I waited to see how long it would take Frank Castle to go full-Punisher in his own show.

Let me give you the heads-up I never had. The Punisher is not the beginning of the Punisher's story - it follows on from Daredevil season 2. So if you want to see how this Punisher came to be, you can't rely on his own series to fill you in, in fact it will just confuse you. What you have to do is watch another Marvel show for two seasons. I know, crazy, right? But actually worth it, trust me.

Marvel seem intent on giving their audience a 'bag of comics' to follow, not just one, and so all their shows swap spit frequently and the more you follow one the more you will have to follow all the rest to get the complete picture.

The Punisher loses points as a series because it cannot be considered a standalone series - it does not tell the main character's complete story - however with perseverance (and quite a bit of additional viewing) you will be rewarded - eventually!",6
"It seemed everyone was looking forward to this movie and it reminded me of the hysteria leading up to Prometheus. Not wanting to inflict on myself that kind of disappointment again I choose to read or watch as little about the film as possible, having seen just an early trailer for it. I made sure I saw it on the biggest screen possible, on one of the few 70mm prints in Europe (Of which we were told there were only 4) It was too a packed out house, a good mix of all ages but a very serious looking audience none the less. I had a feeling we were in for an amazing ride so I took my wife to see it not wanting her to miss out on what might be the cinema event of the year. Like the Astronauts in the film I too wanted to know what was out there.

The setting, as I am sure you know, is in earths near future, where most of the planet is ravaged by dust storms and the worlds food supply is nearing its end (Pretty similar to where we will be in a few years I am sure) most of the worlds population are farmers, keen to support its diminishing population, but time is running out and in secret the Government (America of course) is looking to the stars for answers and the discovery of a Black Hole may indeed prove our way out. Matthew McConaughey is the man who can, but he's gone back to farming and looking after his son and daughter. He's the best pilot, but if he goes he knows when he comes back his children will be older than he is, if they're still alive at all.

So Interstella seems to offer us two dilemma's - the first being what is out there and can it offer us a future? The second being about personal sacrifice for the greater good and how do you know when it is worth it?

I wanted more of the first and less of the second, but we seemed to get far too much of the second which was less engaging than the exploration of space and what there was of the first wasn't engaging enough. Every time the movie went back to earth it seemed to slow down, much like time in the movie. The first 45 minutes of the movie feels like the weakest. Some of the dialogue really is quite awful and seems so fake. I like McConaughey as an actor and the cast here are good, but the script really lets them down on some key moments especially early on. Interstella is a visual feast and if I was rating it on that alone it would get a straight 10 out of 10 but emotionally except for one key scene when messages from children long since aged are received by the characters it left me cold much of the time. The appearance of Matt Damon and his characters motivations were actually obvious to me and when they happened seemed more in place with Armageddon and an attempt to introduce drama for sake alone. For all its spectacle on the huge screen this was not a film that grabbed me and pulled me in and I so badly wanted it to. Yes some worlds are explored and its all water and ice, okay probably very scientific but exciting? I am not so sure and the supporting characters began to have the feel of Star Trek security detail and perhaps they should have been wearing red shirts as they all seem so expendable. Wes Bently really stood out for me here, I wanted to see more of him as he is so watchable and interesting on screen without really feeling the need to perform. The robots in the film were great and loved the way they functioned and were a nod to 2001.

By the time we were into the last reel my wife had been to sleep three times, so this clearly wasn't her film. I was more engaged, but only just. People have pointed out the plot holes and yes there's many, but its really not those that bother me so much. I am not a Sci-Fi nerd, I am only interested in the world the film maker has created for me and if in its own context I believed that - I did believe it but I just didn't really like it that much - Ultimately maybe love does conquer all but for me, not here.

I probably need to see the film again - I am just not sure that I want to.",6
"I have watched this show twice so far, and the second time was just as exciting and thrilling as the first time, or even better. Films empathize on psychology have always been my favorite kind, and this particular show have meet almost all the highest standards in my mind. Some think that it doesn't fit the the Hannibal character in those films or novels made before, but if you put that aside,I've got to say, this show basically blows all those out of the water. The show Dexter get 8.9 and Hannibal only 8.4…well this is crazy.

What I want to say most though,are not the perfect taste, the dynamics between characters or how classic and elegant the show is as many viewers have already reckoned, but this, the concept of 'Empathy'. Hannibal's living a perfectly fulfilling life based on his outstanding intelligence, considering his taste and interest are intolerable by the society. But the existence of a person with the capacity of understanding him, a troubled individual between the dark side and the moral values rooted in himself, a kind of struggle Hannibal don't have yet could comprehend, get him involved in a series of contingencies, and thus the show began.

So at some level, I love season 2 more than 1 because the interaction between the two characters got more frequent and intimate. As sophisticated as Hannibal, he couldn't resist the inclination of intimacy, or more bluntly, of not being alone. But it got him weak, at least at some point, which led to a somewhat tragic ending of season 2.

The lines, especially those only involve Will and Lecter, are so beautifully presented, so you can feel the tensions between the two characters vividly. Though it's always vague, subtle and complex in the extreme and requires strong focus, but if you give it time and think deep into it ,you'll find yourself trapped in those words and emotions and couldn't even get out.

The moment I decided to write a review I found the depth of this show has somewhat beyond my expression and language skills, so I can't emphasize how much I love it. It's the perfect show in my mind.",10
"The show riminds you of the movie Swades, ( infact there is a reference to the same when Abhishek's friend calls him Mohan Bhargava(Shahrukh Khan's charector in Swades). However it shows the the village life and its contrast with what people in urban India feel about it. Even after 16 years of Swades releasing, nothing has changed much in Rural India. Makers have shown this well bybcertain examples like the power cuts, No television being shown anywhere, people don't know what's the difference between monitor and computer and the best - no idea about the concept of Weekend . Lead characters have done a wonderful job although some of the supporting charecters could have been better. Similarly photography could have been better considering the background that was available. Waiting for the season 2",8
"The basic problem with the entire film is that it tries to outdo ""shaolin soccer."" in this, it fails. the reason it fails is one simple reason: originality. most American films fail miserably because they try to copy a successful formula from before. what you end up with is a copy, and an inferior one at that. some scenes i felt were copied from:

1. gangs of new york 2. warner brothers cartoons, most notably road runner 3. the mask 4. ""it happened one night"" 5. the matrix reloaded and the matrix 6. spiderman probably more, but i didn't watch the originals. i am fairly certain some of the jokes came out of charlie chaplin, harold lloyd, and the three stooges.

The affect this had on me was deep disappointment and disgust. the funniest parts in ""shaolin soccer"" were original and (I felt) actually outtakes that made it into the final film. they took chances with original situations and, even though not 100% successful, were interesting nonetheless in their daring.

This feeling was made even stronger because of the great fight sequences. this is one of those movies, to me, where i will probably memorize the time counter for the fight scenes and ignore everything else. there are 4 fight sequences: the first is fairly traditional, the 2nd is more CGI yet effective, the third is a good balance between cgi and action, but the fourth is almost total cgi which features one of the most powerful (in kung fu film history) fighting styles in the most boring way, i.e. the mighty toad style.

If they had added a few minutes to the film, they could have had a much better product simply by making more characters three dimensional rather than flat. In the small village, many great fighters chose to live in anonimity, trying to retire from kung fu. Why? Out of the 5 ""great"" masters in the village, only 2 refer to a specific event in the past (although no details surrounding the event) and another can be guessed at. otherwise, there is no information at all about why each person chose to live in hiding.

But, going back to the fight sequences: I hate fighting styles where the move is very dumb yet supposedly powerful. This movie features many of these, including: The Lion's Roar, Buddha Palm from Heaven, the Amplified Lion's Roar, Toad Head Butt, etc. etc. etc., although I will say this is marginally better than having them announce the move before attacking as in old run run shaw films, this film became a crappy cgi fest.

However, several of the fight scenes were very well done. I really enjoy the many-vs-few fight when the few enter the fight one-by-one after making a moral decision, e.g. the first fighter is almost swarmed, and the next guy jumps in just in time, etc. etc.

Other than the fights and the unoriginality, the underlying story was pretty good. basically, it's about a guy who wanted to be a hero, but in his first time out, gets beaten badly and is convinced that being bad is the only way to win, but a girl makes him see the truth. Plus, he's a miserable failure as a bad guy.

I think, overall, that this film was sabotaged by the incredible 'shaolin soccer.' Shaolin soccer set the bar too high on CGI-support in fight scenes, and original comedy. hopefully, stephen chow will realize that the best way to make good comedy is character and situation, not formulae.",5
"One of the best series I ever seen, at par with other English series in terms of content, dialogs and dialogs.

Its for every Indian who wants to break away from daily routine world and do something which makes a difference.

The full team makes a combined effort and I feel sorry for those many Indians who don't have any internet access and cant watch this awesome show..

Please guys bring this on national television. whole India is waiting for u

While I must admit that the effects were special and the Kung-Fu scenes well choreographed the movie itself was poor in keeping my attention. I fell asleep twice in this over-hyped movie that would have been better read in comic book format.,3
"I finally saw this movie today! And you know what?

This movie is so freaking awesome! The heroes didn't disappoint (even Spider-Man, which is my fave Marvel superhero despite him being on Team Iron Man & me rooting for Team Cap). The action, drama & fight scenes were very awesome & well done! :)

My favorite scenes are the following:

1) Airport fight scene - Every hero fights one another (the 2 teams). This is my most fave part of the film.

2) Cap & Iron Man fighting - This is the last fight in the movie. It was so cool.

3) The opening fight scene - It was cool, especially with the scene being shot at a market.

So, I recommend watching this movie. It's worth your money & time. And this is my #1 favorite Marvel movie of all time! :)

My rating on this movie is 1,000,000,000,000,000/10 heroes!",10
All I have to say is just give it a chance trust me wayyyy better than twilight its close to the vampire diaries but for a little bit older viewers...I'll admit it im a guy love the vampire stuff and D. O. W is one of the best...,8
"I saw this movie at an advance screening. I enjoy Spielberg's films and sci-fi when done well, but wasn't too impressed with the trailers for this one and was not planning on seeing it in theaters. (Note: I have not read the book (also titled ""Ready Player One,"" which the film is adapted from.) I was hoping for a riveting and entertaining look at pop culture and futuristic technology, but unfortunately left disappointed. ""Ready Player One"" isn't a terrible film by any means, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel like a wasted opportunity given Spielberg's talent.

The film is centered around Wade Watts, an adolescent male who lives in Columbus, Ohio in 2045. In 2045, almost everyone plays in ""the Oasis"" in their spare time--a sprawling and all-encompassing virtual reality universe. The main narrative arc of the film centers around various players (particularly Wade and his love interest Artemis) attempting to obtain control of the Oasis after the death of the game's founder. To do this, they have to obtain three keys that will allow them to view an ""Easter egg"" placed in the Oasis by the founder before he died. Surprisingly, the plot is easier to follow than it sounds even if you don't really play video games (like me.) The structure and pace of the narrative is probably the best thing about the movie. Despite running for 2 hours and 20 minutes, it never feels too long--an amazing feat for a generally weak film. The soundtrack is good, but the acting is quite hit-or-miss; although the lead actor does bring a healthy amount of charisma to the table through his performance.

Many viewers are anticipating this movie due to the film's numerous pop culture references. Tragically, these references are one of the reasons why ""Ready Player One"" doesn't work as a movie. References to many great films are often (with one good exception) stripped down to simply brief thoughts through otherwise-pretentious lines of dialogue that seem destined to satisfy hardcore geeks and fanboys but leave others in the dust. An example of this is the film's so-called homage to ""Jurassic Park"" (also directed by Spielberg) by simply showing a cheesy-looking, CGI T-rex attack race car drivers in a futuristic, virtual-reality race car game set in a virtual version of Manhattan. While the idea of using authentic pop-culture references in a film like this seems like a great one, these references are degraded to the soulless level of the evil corporate overlords that are the antagonists of this film. The script is overstuffed to the brim with clichés, using every stereotypical ""dorky"" or ""nerdy"" characteristic as a depictive state or plot device. The film's action scenes are more helter-skelter and knee-jerk than actually thrilling. (Think something slightly better than, but similar to, action scenes in Michael Bay's ""Transformers"" franchise.) All three of these complaints I have against the film are confirmed by lazy writing that often stoops low to very basic-level dialogue or making cheap shots using internet slang like ""noob.""

While Spielberg has contributed much to cinema as both an entertainment medium and art form over the past several decades, ""Ready Player One"" does not present itself as a confirmation of this in the slightest. I hate to say this, but it lands with a bit of a thud. 4/10",4
"Lost all its marvel characteristic, terrible acting from. Xochitl Gomez with facial expressions my grandma could have done better. It's a shame they threw in the zombie saus, did bring the movie an extra dimentions. Also where was the little aftermovie?

I hope Marvel does not go downhill from here, lets see what the future brings but concerning this movie i could not be more dissapointed.

Too bad for the thrown in childish creatures at the start of the movie, however this all falls in to nothing considering the poor plot and chaotic story line.",2
"""The Boys"" on Amazon Prime is an electrifying superhero series that subverts traditional genre tropes with a dark and gritty twist. With its stellar writing, impeccable performances, and impressive production values, it's no wonder this show has garnered such widespread acclaim. The story follows a group of vigilantes as they take on corrupt superheroes who abuse their powers for personal gain. The show's exploration of power, morality, and the consequences of unchecked authority is both thought-provoking and exhilarating. The stellar cast, led by Karl Urban and Antony Starr, delivers compelling performances that bring the complex characters to life. The action sequences are expertly choreographed and offer intense, edge-of-your-seat moments. ""The Boys"" is not afraid to delve into controversial and challenging themes, making it a mature and refreshing take on the superhero genre. While occasionally veering into graphic and violent territory, the show maintains a clever balance of dark humor and social commentary. With its tight pacing and unpredictable narrative, ""The Boys"" keeps viewers engaged throughout, leaving them hungry for more after each episode. Though it may not be suitable for all audiences due to its explicit content, ""The Boys"" is a must-watch for fans of complex storytelling and captivating performances. With its season 2 release, the show continues to build upon its strong foundation, delivering a thrilling and thought-provoking viewing experience. Overall, ""The Boys"" earns its rating of 9 and solidifies its position as one of the most compelling and memorable shows on Amazon Prime.",9
"What is that? That was awful and you know the end from the first 5 minutes of watching.

I hate that I gave a chance for this movie to keep watching. But you know what? Nothing really interesting happen!!! Australians don't know how to make movies!!! I have never saw a good movie where the production country was Australia! Mb continue playing with your spiders and snakes on backyard and stop making movies!

It was real disappointment for me. I couldn't believe that the movie with this high score rating can be this uninteresting as it was.

One more time, find your pet aligator and go play with it and don't make any movies Australia!",1
"There are not many actors who could carry off this role. Almost singlehandedly Matt is the best thing in this film . Also it is good to see Mackenzie Davis in something different from Halt and catch fire, although she is amazing in that too.",5
"Horror is undoubtedly one of the tougher genres to do anything new or even to get away from the usual tropes.

Amd unfortunately , Talk to Me , doesn't do anything new. While it is somewhat entertaining the cast is made up of characters that the audience is never really given time to care about, the closest it came to expanding on one was with the films lead, Sophie Wilde, whom without the film would have been a lot worse off. She shines in the lead, and pretty much carries a band of ""also rans"" for the entire 1 hour 30 odd minutes.

A lack lustre vision from the directors leave a feeling of what might have been , from an otherwise mediocre outing, a budget of 4.5 million is absolutely visible, contrary to many saying it looked like a much higher budget yarn. Its not. Its a low budget horror. And that's it.

While it will pass an evening on a Halloween night, it's certainly nit going to be a regular Halloween go to, and I've a feeling this will soon be forgotten about.

Watch it, with low expectations , and you should be fine.",6
"This show was good. It wasn't laugh out your stomach funny , but hey that's what dark humor is . I could say it's one of a kind. Just watch it.",8
"I absolutely love this show. It is amazing! Amazing cast the story line gets a little leeway in season 2 but I felt like the way they were going with it was going to work out better than the books but then season 3 brings it back to it. I'd love to see what they were going to do in the next seasons bc if anyone has read the books the ending kinda sucks!! But it's sad to say that after this season I will no longer watch this amazing show because Henry Cavill will no longer be Geralt. BIG MISTAKE! HUGE! He is Geralt and no matter what story line changes you make sorry Liam but this show will fail. Henry is the biggest reason people started watching this show, myself at the top of that list.

It's like taking taking Superman out of the Justice League and replacing him with Nighthawk.

Just another good show to lose out and faulted due to Hollywood politics and this ridiculous cancel culture we are being subjected to. Buncha BS!",6
"Well i had heard so much hype about this money and that since a female directed, it was so much more different. Big deal, same old crap to entertain the masses. First, she was sexualized, otherwise there wouldnt of been the skirts and cleavage so not buying that. The reviews when it was in theatres was that people left crying! Not sure why... it was another predictable plot more focused on special effects than storyline. The slo-mo fighting was too annoying, movie-wide. Best they could come up with was ares? Really? Not sure why feminists thought this was a step in the right direction, i would of never been able to tell if a male or female directed based on movie. Also, wtf is up with the stupid accents? That really pisses me off. So what, all germans and amazons speak english?!

You know i thought i was missing out not seeing this movie from what id heard. My brother rented it and finally gave it a chance. After 1 hour i was just waiting for it to over. It was almost 2.5 hours long, jeez. The only good thing about this movie is my gal Gal. Man she is hot and beautiful. Movie stupid, not sure what all the hype was about.",4
"I find many people compare it with Game of Thrones , let me start off by saying this is a completely different show an lore . As a fan of the franchise i rated this a 10/10 in my mind seeing and knowing it would be much better in the following season . The producers did a good job in introducing this new world and characters with just 8 episodes . Without me being biased , I could give this show an 8/10 but also I can see people rating this 6/10 if they got confused with the first 3 episodes . But rating it below than 6 is really ignorant and stupid . With that being said i would rate this show 9/10 with all things being considered.",9
"I watched this movie this week. This movie has won many key awards in oscars and golden globe ! I wonder why it has won many awards. Another way to look at is the decline of quality movies in the last few years. Coming to the movie itself, there are some good acting by all the lead players Sally, Richard and Michael. Movie is shot quite retro and production values are top notch. But, certainly not the best picture or director of 2018. I would consider it as an ordinary decent movie with a simple love story. Only striking element to this movie is the titular character of the aqua-man itself. The Sci-Fi is top class and ingeniously conceived. Other than this, its an overrated, over-hyped simple sci-fi love story. It also looks like all the critic have taken this chance to felicitate this director for all his works in the past. I reckon its a weird way of assessing a movie.",4
"The place selection is great. Budapest was the part of the Soviet Union too (if anyone is wondering). I have not read the book, but I think it is great judging by the movie.

It has a lot of explicit parts, but hey that's why it's 18+.

Sometimes it's hard to tell who's with who, but overall the film was great.",8
"This show was a surprise for me, it was sitting in my netflix recommended for years and as a fan of the original I never wanted to spoil my memory of it. But this show stands on its own as a thrilling, fun, and beautiful telling of the Robinson's adventures and I'm so glad I watched it.

There's a constant ""nothing goes right"" feeling in this show that is just so attractive time to me. It's a train wreck of unfortunate events but the determination of the Robinson's makes this show so lovable.

The writing is pretty good aside from the standard scifi jargon and fake physics. The characters are all played out with good motivations and depth, maybe excepting -the human antagonist-

I understand that you need a human antagonist but wow I was begging for -the human antagonist- to exit the entire run of the show. It's actually pretty frustrating to watch someone who is only there to manipulate and harm slowly get trusted and accepted because they choose to save her own neck in ways that saved others by hapinstance.

The robots are beautiful and terrifying and I think are a brilliant addition to this show. The mysterious origin and behaviours kept me wanting more every time.

This has to have the best visual effects out of any TV series I've ever seen. I have no idea how they managed it but the crew should be commended for just how spectacular and realistic the show looks. There are a couple rough spots but in a show relying on effects for most exterior shots, this is an amazing feat.

I'd definitely recommend this show to anyone. It's a thrilling ride, start to finish.

Also I love Don <3.",8
"The screenplay is so bad, I don't know how this movie can have such a big score on iMDb.

"Its been such a long time to see a good science fiction movie without bringing down the realism through too many action scenes. This one is different, if u like movies like Moon(2009), 2001: a space odyssey, Solaris(2002, 1972) then this movie is going to take your breath away.

I came to this movie for three names Cuaron, Clooney, Bullock and it pays. Awesome visuals, great camera work(Especially the view from the helmet of the astronauts) but the soundtrack was nowhere near Solaris(2002), but still it was decent enough. And its not without its flaws though.

And last but not least watch it definitely in 3D...",7
"I know that it is literally what the show promises to be. And I tried so hard to like it, but I just can't. I like the underlying stories and commentaries. Superheroes gone rogue or the perspective of good and bad I think are very interesting themes to explore. But for me, the gross visuals are really over the top and take a way the joy of watching it. I have no problem feeling uncomfortable about myself if the story challenges my ideas and values of life. But this is more like I physically literally cannot stomach it. So i decide to stop watching. Kudos to anyone that still continue with the series and actually are excited about what the next season will bring.",4
"Wow! Talk about dull. Talk about an over emphasis on left wing politics. This movie has some great cinematography, and some of the scenes evoke feeling and atmosphere. Otherwise it is almost all dull conjecture.

I saw a review calling this, ""a challenging watch."" No, it is simply dull and lacks focus leaving it up to the audience to find what the actual focus of the movie is.

I am certainly glad I did not pay money to see this in the theater. I would have gotten up and walked out about 20 minutes, or so, in.

I watched the whole thing, beginning to end, and find very little value in the movie. It is all hype, and very dull.",2
"I was already doubting if I should give this show an 8 or a 9. But originally I went with the 8... Until I finally noticed the main character was portrayed by the same actress that played Jessica in American Pie, which I hadn't noticed. At all. I was just completely mind blown. That acting was completely brilliant and I thought she just was some sort of actress catching a late big break. The show is shot wonderfully, it's funny in a dark way, has a lot of drama and build-up and the first 3 episodes are there for a reason. The pay-off is so, so good.",9
"Going into Gravity I had high hopes. Its got good reviews, a great metascore, several awards, etc. How could I not expect something great?

The movie wasn't amazing. It was completely overrated in my point of view. Sure, the CGI was great (even on DVD), the characters likable, the acting well-done and all that stuff, but I felt like all this could have been better.

The characters had so much potential, but were never fully explored. Sure, there was a bit of back story for Ryan Stone, but not nearly as much for Matt Kowalski. Still, Ryan's back story wasn't enough to warrant any real or deep character development. They felt somewhat forced at times, which really took away from it. You may say that this was a movie made for its visuals, but the fact that it still tried to put character development in made me feel like it certainly wasn't trying to make itself all about the visuals.

The acting was quite average, if you ask me. Lots of hyperventilating, but otherwise it didn't stand out to me as much as other acting has (ex. Brad Pitt from Twelve Monkeys). The characters were well- executed, but it wasn't an absolutely brilliant performance or anything.

Gravity is a movie of constant tension and suspense, and yet I never felt that Ryan was in any real danger. It was fairly obvious that she would survive, and towards the end I felt like she was doing certain things simply to create conflict, no matter how minor. A lot of tension material was recycled throughout the movie as well. I'm sure that this is realistic, but it felt very unoriginal eventually.

Overall, Gravity had so much potential. The characters seemed to be the driving force of the movie over the story (it wasn't a particularly interesting or deep story), and yet that potential never felt like it was truly tapped into. In the end, it was really just an average movie, but could have been far better. Its worth watching if your interested, but that's about it for this movie.",5
"This was a good film with a lot of action throughout. The choreography and the intensity in the fight scenes was very well executed. There's lots of guns, explosions, and violence so if you're an action junky this is the film for you. The story line isn't spectacular, the acting is good but nothing Oscar worthy and there are some cliches that action films have. However all in all I really enjoyed this film. Its nothing ground breaking but it is a good action film.",7
"CA:CW Where BvS was a fairly significant letdown for me, this film - while fantastic - is still a very mild letdown.

The flaws(the 1st 2 kinda overlap): 1. This is what I mentioned in my BvS review. I was not a fan of the somewhat mentally unstable Lex Luthor. But I still stand by my opinion that Luthor was a far more effective villain than Zemo. Zemo in the end was just a criminal/terrorist. And he was just a dud IMO. 2. CA:CW up until the end sequence in Siberia is significantly better than BvS, but then it falls kinda flat at the end. That ending was just a big fizzle for me. And where BvS - though extremely dark - ends on a brighter, hopeful note. CA:CW is not as dark - up to that end - which is darker IMO. (Now, before the marvel guys start emailing me death threats and viruses ... I acknowledge that this is in line with the direction of the MCU, and the dark ending is supposed to setup the IW movies. But honestly, I think the ending setup in BvS was a tad bit better) 3. The battle scenes in Nigeria were shot all shaky so that they were kinda hard to follow. I don't remember that in TWS. The rest of the action scenes were all top-notch.

The really good stuff: 1. CA:CW intro'ed Spidey and BP perhaps even a bit better than BvS did with BM and WW(though I think they both did those well). 2. Really well-done comic relief from Spidey and Ant-Man. I loved how those 2 played into the story. 3. Aside from Zemo's story, the writing was fantastic, near perfect. The story does flow and is easier to follow that the 1st half of BvS.

So - for me - the net result of it is that - yes - CA:CW is better. It is a fantastic movie even with the somewhat disappointing ending. But I don't see it being a 10 nor BvS being a 1. It's more like 8.7-8.9 compared to 8.0-8.3 IMO.

8.8",9
"Another bad space movie that dissapointed me. Movie heavily focusses on visual effect but that alone cant make great movie. Main problem with this movie are bad plot, characters, dialouge and that this movie is so predictable.",3
"WandaVision certainly have a very intriguing premise, but pretty much everything else, like the build up to the interesting parts, is a tacky snore. The first three episodes is pretty much just a homage to old sit-coms, but unfortunately they weren't able to make those parts ...you know ...funny. So they merely function as a boring transportation device to the mentioned interesting parts. Couldn't they hire some actual funny sit-com writers for those parts and make them good instead of necessities? Unfortunately when the intriguing more ""serious"" parts kicks ins, it feels like even those parts of the show gets stuck in some kind of stale combination. When you feel like ""Ah, here we go!"" it doesn't really go. Is it suppose to be funny still or more serious? Either way, it's not very good at being any of those things.",5
"...and the baby is beautiful. This was a fun movie. The reason I am mentioning those two films is because of the similarities between them. In this movie, the creature (or whatever it is) makes people kill themselves, like in The Happening. Instead of being quiet, though, (like in A Quiet Place) you must be blind. While there are similarities, I don't think it is trying to completely copy the films. It's just using similar ideas. Sandra Bullock is amazing in this movie. The whole cast is great, including the kids. You care about all of the characters (for the most part) and are left on the edge of your seat wondering who is going to die next. The storytelling is phenomenal and makes it easy to keep track on when the plot jumps back in time and back to present day. Whatever the creatures look like we don't really know (if they even have a physical body), and that can kind of be a let down for a big monster fan like I am. The ending also felt a little underwhelming to me, with it not really giving an explanation for the creatures or anything. But that's okay. Not all movies have to answer all the questions. That's what makes it fun. Overall, I think Bird Box is a great addition to the horror genre, and is very entertaining. Netflix, for the most part, does a very good job with it's original movies. I highly recommend this film.",7
"To be honest, it was OK at best. There were a few good scenes where they were fighting, but a lot of the intentionally unsteady camera work made it uncomfortable to follow at times and I was horrified when it ended - just like that - as if it was a TV show that should have had ""To be continued"" at the end...we paid a lot to go, our round trip took four buses, and it was my 8 year olds birthday treat, I felt like I saw half a film - which I guess I did, but they could have had some kind of conclusion to end it at, rather than a scene that was clearly just going to be continued at a later date.

I think after leaving the house at 10am, not going in until 12:15, sitting through 45 minutes of adverts...by the end of the film, my little boy was just glad we were going home.

If the kids aren't dead set on seeing it right now, wait until Part 2 comes out then take a day and watch them together. By next year when the final part is released, my son will probably have grown out of HP and we'll be on to the next thing and I'll never know what happened...I guess I'll have to read the book.",4
"Good movie great entertainment, good rythm, fast pace, but more like a magician show us his tricks then a true who done it, lost of details are skim over, 2 are actually not making sense...I think this was done to dummies down the plot and increase the entertainment value...actually the double meaning of the subtitle of this movie in French ""une histoire a couteaux tires"" says in all. Some of the characters are not believable, are just there to fill the screen, the intrigue start strong but finish in a typical very big Hollywood no expenses save ...but low violence..good time for all Netflix subscriber.",8
"This is a rather underwhelming movie given the quality of the cast. For a start, it's way too long for the story, I was checking the time every 10 minutes after the 1 1/2 hour mark - not a good sign! I don't know why directors opt for comedy to convey this kind of dark story - it's inappropriate and as a result very few of the gags hit the mark. The underlying plot, set to the backdrop of 1930's Europe, is vaguely plausible but never seems to gain traction. Christian Bale in particular keeps things interesting, but it's hard going. If this story had been told 'straight', a great movie would have resulted.",3
This movie has a terrible plot and could be the worst movie I've ever seen,3
"2016 will mark the first film of Shah Rukh Khan with much anticipated ""FAN"". The superstar has worked really hard for action- thriller which is directed by Maneesh Sharma. Shah Rukh Khan will be pitted against himself as Gaurav and Aryan in a double role. He has experimented with his career. The trailer definitely looks promising. Will the film will be as engaging as the trailer promises ? Well, let us check out.

What will you do when the person you respect the most breaks your heart ? Your passion becomes your obsession and soon leads to destruction. ""FAN"" tells the story of an ardent fan, Gaurav, whose world is Aryan Khanna ( both played by Shah Rukh Khan). He embarks on journey to meet his idol but when his dreams to interact with him shatters, he turns violent and becomes an impulsive stalker causing disturbances in Aryan Khanna's personal life.

The story of ""FAN"" will immediately bring you the memories of 90's Shah Rukh Khan's blockbusters like ""Darr"" and ""Anjaam"" where the superstar succeeded in playing anti-hero role with aplomb. In fact, he further went on to reprise the role of Vijay (originally played by Amitabh Bachchan) in Farhan Akhtar's ""Don"". Maneesh Sharma, who previously made ""Baand Baja Baraat"", ""Ladies vs Ricky Bahl"" and ""Shudh Desi Romance"", steps into an unexplored territory with action-thriller. It is definitely a big step for him transforming from a romance-drama into a dark song-less film. The first half of ""FAN"" is definitely engaging and will keep you on the toes. The craziness of Gaurav showering love for his idol, his first reaction when he sees Aryan Khanna waving at the crowd and the face-off between Gaurav and Aryan Khanna is definitely the highlight of the film. However, the second half loses the steam and screenplay looks half-baked just when you thought things were turning alright. Few scenes were unrealistic and could have been avoided. Also, since there were no songs in the film, editing could have been much crispier. But the catch-mouse game between Gaurav and Shah Rukh Khan will keep you on your toes and will generate few tense moments. Writing by Habib Faisal should be lauded along with powerful dialogues (Sharat Katariya). Cinematography (Manu Anand) and Art Direction(Nic Pallace) resembles the international standards. Background score by Andrea Guerra gels well with the mood of the film. Special mention to action stunts (Pervev Shaikh) and astonishing visual effects (Red Chillies Entertainment).

Coming to the performances, you cannot imagine anyone else apart from Shah Rukh Khan playing the role of both Gaurav and Aryan Khanna. The actor does well in playing the real-life character of Aryan Khanna but it is the obsessive fan Gaurav which is worth- watching. The actor goes into character of Gaurav and gives his best. Other actors does justice to their part.

Overall, ""FAN"" is definitely a comeback vehicle for Shah Rukh Khan whose performances makes it a memorable watch. Good 3/5",8
"The first half of the first episode was so bland and boring that I literally found myself falling asleep.

The second half got a little better. It just good enough that I will probably watch the second episode as well, but if there is no improvement I'll probably be quitting this show only two episodes in.

All but maybe two of the characters are interesting to me. This show has a lot of catching up to do if it wants to live up to it's predecessor.",6
"The first episodes create an interesting premise: a mysterious terrorist group, nuclear threat, manipulation, government conspiracies, yep we're in the 2010's...

Everything is beautiful animated, the music's really great and at any moment you expect this show to really gain momentum and explode. But in my humble opinion this just doesn't happen.

The main characters are quite sterile, I didn't end up caring for them.

A lot of elements covered in the story were already explored in numerous other (anime) works. Some twists are quite far fetched and silly.

And when the plot is finally revealed... well there weren't surprises.

Everyone can see so much work, dedication and love went into this series, so it is still worth to check it out.",7
"No words. Best film ever. I wont tell anything, you must watch it. No Simping, no romance, no strip dance. Only unconditional love between two souls. You won't regret watching this film.",10
Bad boring scenarie like many others about superheroes _ non stop all about the same.,3
"Director maintain thin line without crossing the violence... He conveyed the violence in musics, which makes the movie a real psycho thriller... Vishnu not played in the role of COP (HE LIVED AS COP)",10
"Just heard on the radio that this movie purposely removed all Nazi symbols and flags. I refuse to watch this rubbish and support these people who wanna change history because something offends them. It's WW2 and show Nazi flags. Many people said it's a great movie , it's a shame the politically correct had to rear their ugly heads again and ruin a movie.",1
"They focused on emotions, covered up illogical situations with them I hardly watched this film, it is quite specific, there is a lot of music in it, namely jazz, about half of the entire timekeeping is musical excerpts. I do not have a love for this musical direction and it greatly prevented me from watching the film.

The plot is about how a young musician Andrew Nieman literally goes to his goal with blood and sweat, how he overcomes difficulties and how much perseverance he exerts. His head Terence Fletcher is a real despot, sometimes a tyrant, which only complicates the guy.",5
"I came into this show not expecting much, but left truly amazed. This show is really good. After watching other critically acclaimed shows like Breaking Bad, I decided to try something different, so I picked up this show and started watching. First few episodes I was hesitant, but then the show grew on me. The characters, music, dialogue and animation are all fantastic, especially the action scenes. The overarching story is truly epic, and after the finale I was sad until I found out Korra existed. I even ended up reading all the comics taking place after the show, that's how likable the shows characters are. Seriously, just watch it, you won't regret it.",10
"The action scenes are awesome. It kept me hooked to the movie despite the few lack of logic of space and time.

My big problem with this movie is the moral choices in it. I find it unbelievable and morally unacceptable that the life of an innocent child is in any case more important than the life of the hundreds of policemen and military who died in this movie. They are not gang members. Anyone in these countries know that the average police officer or soldier is (also) a father who just wants to provide for his family. An innocent person who has absolutely nothing to do with the corruption of higher ranks. Therefore, I couldn't be fully emotionally committed to this movie.",6
"As in the summary I thought the visuals were stunning..but the story was left wanting. I came back this afternoon from watching this movie with more questions than answers erg how can they create a space craft that can go into the depths of space pass through a worm hole and land on different planets etc yet the craft looks like it had just come from Steptoes junk yard..

In the film Michale Caine starts off looking like hes well into his seventies and yet 23yrs later the only change in him is hes in a wheel chair.

Most of the films I go and watch at the cinema I watch a second time on DVD because I know I've missed something at my first viewing, But I wont be bothering to rent Intersteller.. On the whole a very disappointing 3 hour viewing, I expected a lot more",6
Smile never appeared on my face. First episode absolutely not interesting. Waiting for loki guys.,1
Battle of jangsari which is great 1917 way let down watchable but not a masterpiece,4
"Good movie with high level of cinematography.

Loyalty lessons... Actors... Not the best movie ever of the genre but still goodddd.",7
"Not much to be said. Wasn't great but was more fun, I am more likely to re-watch this over the first. Follows the classic Marvel algorithm. Comedy, action and leaving you asking questions you'll never get an answer to, oh and an after credit scene setting up future Marvel movies.",6
"Venom is apparently a comedian now, and not a funny one. The whole movie was just silly.",3
"Jude Law is one of my favorite actors and I'm starting to really enjoy Robert Downey Jr after Iron Man. Guy Ritchie is stylish and can create a FUN experience at the movies (LSATSB). But after watching the first previews for Sherlock Holmes, I admit I was a bit underwhelmed. It seemed like they were going for style and very little substance. I think that is a shame, considering the substance is Sherlock Holmes, a character with a lot of potential. There is no doubt Robert Downey Jr. is charismatic and fun, but I never really saw him as Sherlock Holmes, but rather Tony Stark playing Sherlock Holmes. For me to recommend a movie, it has to stay with me, but with a boring plot that I didn't care about, this movie was forgettable. The occasional bits of humor aren't even close to recommending it. Its a shame with such a talented cast. C-",6
"I found this movie slow, boring, and lacking in meaning. I feel anything for the characters. But at times Jim Carrey ALMOST bordered on funny...just to disappoint me by being so serious and uninteresting.

I came in with an open mind, expecting an original and interesting film. Especially with it at #60 right now on IMDb's top 250. Why is this movie so acclaimed? I don't feel it's anything special. It was not an entertaining experience for me.

But it was ""genre-bending""...indeed, you should beware of this film if you like comedy, action, mystery, sci-fi, or are looking for an uplifting experience.

1/10",1
"Going in to this i did not think that it could come anywhere close to topping ""Superbad,"" or ""Knocked Up,"" but it did. And it did with flying colors. This movie is awesome, the casting and writing are easily the two best parts of the movie, as you truly care about the characters and laugh at almost everything they say. Jason Segel is surprisingly awesome at writing scripts, I knew he could act after watching ""How I Met your mother,"" but this was just THAT funny.

Mila Kunis is hotter than ever in her role, and really does a great job. This movie kept the entire theatre laughing out loud the entire movie, with constant laughs, as there was probably only a few points in the movie where the were no jokes.

Overall fantastic comedy, one of my favorites ever.---10/10",10
"Going to keep this short and sweet. The Change-Up is a wildly generic, paint by numbers buddy comedy that mixed in attempted shock value via raunch and gratuity. On paper, this is purely average, mediocre only to be bumped up a point because Reynolds and Bateman are just so talented. Also, Leslie Mann is hilarious and I think underrated at times for how good she is.

This's is a streamer. It's not worth watching on tv because half of it would be edited, but it's also not worth buying or really paying a ton of attention to. Grade A Background Noise.",6
"Had the intention to see this movie for quite a long time, I had seen the first 20 minutes earlier and found it to be very funny but could not continue , Yesterday I was able to watch the whole movie,

The first half has very nice scenes, and good comic timing. The second half, however, made me exaggerated like hell. Too sentimental too melodramatic second half, and the story just doesn't continue. There is no great plot in the movie, and I felt that the running time could have been reduced by around 30 minutes. However, what saves the movie is Deepika Padukone s acting, Some of the serious and emotional scenes in the second half she has played brilliantly, especially the party scene in the club. Her acting is just a treat to watch. Saif Ali Khan has given an average performance, but this kind of role he has enacted too many times in the past with movies like Hum Tum, Salaam-e-Ishq etc. He is I feel, getting too old for these kind of roles. The newcomer Diana Penty, apart from being pretty, has put in a decent first performance, and has not got overshadowed by the other two actors.

The music by Pritam is really nice. My favourite songs are 'Desi Daru', 'Jugni' (a different genre of song but has started to grow on me ) and the Agnee song 'Yaariyan'. Overall a great album which you can listen to, independent of the movie too.

Overall I would give it 6/10 only because of Deepika's acting performance and the nice soundtrack. Good that I didn't waste my money watching this in the theatre :)",6
"Ryan Reynolds was wrong.... THIS is his worst film. It's just pure BAYhem and nothing more really except for a few cool action sequences and some nice camera work. Mostly it is just one big incoherent mess, very fragmented plot that would literally give a normal person ADHD. Absolutely no character development or chemistry to make you care one way or the other about anyone. A bunch of uncalibrated character personalities that waver and jump around much like the story which is very sporadic and stupid. A huge waste of money and talent. Michael Bay only had 1 good film and that's 13 Hours save for maybe The Rock and the first Bad Boys movie. I was so disappointed that I actually stopped watching after 1 hour then went back to finish and wish I hadn't. I can sit through Green Latern with very little difficulty but THIS movie just plain sucks, no redeeming qualities whatsoever. 2/10.",2
"Its greatest series of all time

"Now that season 2's over and I've seen every episode except one, I think the time is right to write a review on the series Modern Family. Following Arrested Development and The Office, Modern Family is a mockumentary TV show. But instead of ripping off AD it manages to establish its own voice early with a string of characters more down-to-earth but still funny in their own right. There weren't enough great episodes for me to bump my rating to a 9, but I never felt this show dipped below a certain quality. The dialogue is not dependent on pop culture references, bathroom humour or a laugh track, giving this show an advantage.

Modern Family is intelligently put together, often by having three different stories sharing a motif reflected in the episode title. Some of the best episodes, particularly in season 1, have the characters giving commentary that can be touching. I do like most of the characters, including Alex, even if she's an imitation of Lisa Simpson, and Phil, even if the dumb sitcom dad has been done before on other shows. There's no denying Gloria is beautiful and Jay is played well by Ed O'Neill, even though I was never a big fan of him in Married with Children. Of the three branches of the family, my favourite is the Dunphys.

The best episodes, I think, are Coal Digger (season 1) and Caught in the Act (season 2). Here's hoping for a good season 3!",8
"Fargo is an absolutely incredible film that achieves its goal of being both side-splittingly funny and viciously violent, while at the same time getting across a meaningful message to the audience. The senslessness and selfishness of the criminal path is put across in a brilliant way through great performances by the entire cast.

Frances McDormand's was a restrained performance, but one in which she WAS the charming and very pregnant sheriff of a small Minnesota city and the viewer couldn't help but love her character and find her believable and endearing. She definitely deserved her Oscar as Best Actress and I consider this one of my top-5 favorite movies.",10
"So I'm a witcher fanboy, I've played the games and read the books. I was prepared to be disappointed. I wanted to rate this lower but I couldn't. However, the biggest downfall is the how ridiculously badly the timeline is portrayed. The series jumps backwards decades with no discernable difference to the previous scene, particularly in the first few episodes with Jen. The battle with Nilfgaard in Cintra is used as the basis for the current timeline. After that things get confusing for anyone who's not familiar with the witcher universe as it hops back and forth. I don't know why they just didn't run with a linear timeline and when they needed to flash back indicate this with a different shade or use a ""10 years ago"" text. Besides that the action scenes are excellent, stunning fight choreography that perfectly captures how lethal Geralt is meant to be. I also thought his use of signs is done brilliantly. What is missing from the series is more Geralt action scenes.. as for a series called the witcher he's not in it much!",5
"This movie is very good, the story telling , the acting , the realistic characters and the plot!

I love how they did not involved any religion at all. It has a strong message regarding addictions and drugs. How teenagers can be lost forever of they give in into this world .

The make up is masterful , great violent scenes ! The representation of suffering in the spirit world was very scary and graphic, one of the best I've seen

It's been a long time since I enjoy a great new, original horror film !

This is a must for any horror fan I will keep track of any work this director has planned for the future.",10
"Too long, no plot, boring music and overall flat. Cheesy and superficial. Highly overrated!",1
"When I write a review, its because I care. When a film is so good I want other people to see it; and when it is bad I want to warn those not to waste their time. Watching the Crimes, I am reminded of one of Rowlings books, why use 1 word when you can write 10; and now we have a film in the same style. To put simply, there are a lot of scenes that feel slightly too long, which adds up to a film that you keep wishing to end.",1
"The aerial sequences in the movie are undeniably impressive, showcasing incredible flying scenes. However, apart from these thrilling moments, the rest of the film falls short. Ed Harris has only a brief appearance, more of a cameo than a substantial role. Val Kilmer's scene is cringe-worthy, and Jennifer Connelly's character feels like a half-hearted love interest that the film could have done without. It's unclear if she's meant to fill the Kelly McGillis role from the original movie, given the similarities in her house and car.

The plot revolves around a mission that is so implausible it makes the entire movie seem somewhat absurd. The new cast of pilots lacks the depth and charm of the original, with characters that feel flat and uninteresting. Tom Cruise's performance as Maverick, still haunted by his buddy Goose's death after 35 years, seems a bit overplayed. Jon Hamm, typically a likable actor, appears uncomfortable as Maverick's strict commander.

There's a beach football scene intended to echo the iconic volleyball scene from the first movie, but it comes across as forced. Despite these criticisms, the flying scenes, which make up around 15% of the total runtime, are incredibly well-executed. It's evident that the actors were in the planes for at least some of the shots, and the minimal use of CGI is commendable. However, when these scenes are removed, what remains is a movie that falls short of expectations.",4
"CGI is great with beautiful lighting and a very cute baby Simba. Sadly, the music was massively underwhelming with 'phoned in' vocals by 2 of R&B's reputedly finest vocalists Beyoncé and Childish Gambino. And why are the best moments of this PC 'child friendly' version - though spectacular sonically and visually - the most violent parts of the story? All of the poignant and hilarious moments of the original movie have been diluted and in some instances, surgically removed. Are the makers seriously catering to a new generation of kids that will suck up and feast on this modern way of telling stories? I had to see it once but hope to never see it again and look forward to crying and laughing at the original some day soon.",2
Show is very interrsting and once you start seeing it you cannot stop!,6
"What is she doing? She is clearly too old to be playing this role. She should be a grandmother to those children and not a mother. She is 56 years old, clearly. It's not something you can hide. One can see it in her hands, her arms, her neck. Move on! You are not 30 years old anymore, honey. Never been a fan of her work anyway. She comes off as trying to deliberately to be what she is not. It is not authentic at all. Wish they had given this role to someone else to play more authentically. She did a horrible job at playing Lucy and she did this series a disservice and taking on this role as well.",2
"It attempts to dip a figurative toe in the water of American social commentary. The success ends with shining a spotlight on the topic. However, it doesn't feel like it waded enough into the ocean to provoke a thoughtful conversation

Synopsis: AMERICAN FICTION is Cord Jefferson's hilarious directorial debut, which confronts our culture's obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes. Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who's fed up with the establishment profiting from ""Black"" entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish ""Black"" book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain.",7
"Basically, this show needs to settle the hell down. God, was it fun at the beginning; it was inventive, believable, and immersive. The natural chemistry between the characters was a delight, and the writing was clever and funny (when appropriate). That was Season 1. It was great. Since then, the show's general quality has been on the gradual decline; however, there have still been flashes of brilliance from time to time over the past couple of seasons. But now the show has worked itself so far up its own backside – like some vulgar ouroboros – that it's become almost intolerable watching. Season 4 was so self-referential and unfocused that it felt like a spoof half the time, but then it would perform a complete 180 and get all serious on us, with the expectation that the audience should get all misty eyed when a character carks it or someone experiences some manner of personal hardship. This would be perfectly fine for viewers with certain insanities, or those who were so permanently struck by 'Sherlock''s glistening first impression that they're oblivious to how far they've followed the show into its own bullcack, but for the rest of us who appreciate consistent style and careful execution of tone, it's unimmersive at best and painful at worst. I'm telling you, Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat have written these screenplays schizophrenically. The only way to enjoy a narrative of this kind would be to possess an unrelated set of mood swings that miraculously synchronised with Gatiss and Moffat's wild shifts in tone.

I honestly don't know what they were going for here, and how they thought it was going to work. God knows how someone's supposed to direct this nonsense. Hats off to Rachel Talalay, Nick Hurran and Benjamin Caron from trying; I know I won't be judging their abilities based on what I've seen here. Thankfully they don't seem to be bearing the blame for this disastrous season, as all the criticism I've seen so far has instead been falling on the heads of Gatiss and Moffat exclusively. And rightfully so, really, because if a film is viewed as a train, then the writing can be viewed as the rails, and the rails in Season 4 were dodgy as anything, and ultimately these episodes were a wreck. As a writer, there must come a time when you stop believing in yourself, and start actually being critical again. You should have a doubt or two; it's good for you; it makes you better. Gatiss and Moffat seem to routinely skip over this step in their journey as writers, though, and continue in blissful misinformed confidence. And it reflects so horribly in their work on this occasion. The characters are so pompously written, primarily communicating in phony wit, which they each appear to enjoy far more than the audience does. Almost every exchange pretty much amounts to a session of smarmy backslapping and meat-beating. And I could probably put up with that (just) if the show was still at its high-points, but it's not. It's the worst it's ever been; it's like listening to someone gloat over an achievement so long past it might as well have belonged to a different person.

A key aspect that may be affecting the show's execution of the basics may be its obvious desire to keep 'going big'. It's becoming clear that it's simply not enough for the show to just have a nice, self- contained episode. Nothing is allowed to just be its own story; it has to be part of a larger arc, and that larger arc has to be tied into another arc, and those arcs have fit into an even larger mother-arc, and it just goes on and on, inexorably, getting bigger and bigger. It's an arc- blob that keeps feeding on promising story threads, killing and absorbing them for sustenance. But one day… one day there will be no good ideas left for the blob to devour, and 'Sherlock' the blob will be left with nowhere to go. It will be stranded and unfixable, its biology a convoluted mess. A grotesque testament to a series gone wrong; a far cry from the fine specimen it once was, before its caretakers thought they could play God, and fecked with its genetics so severely that its hunger for the 'epic' could not be satiated, and its digestive systems could not process or filter out the vast intake of stupid ideas.

Episode 2, ""The Lying Detective""– in spite of its silliness and melodrama – was an episode that felt a little more like a focused, simplistic, enjoyable isolated tale of problem-solving. But whatever maturity and restraint it had was blasted out its back end with a ridiculous ending that over-involved a deceased character who was never very interesting in the first place, and introduced a new threat – the biggest one of all! – in the lamest way possible.

This season was just messy. I couldn't bring myself to enjoy it without the feeling of undermining my intelligence in some way. My opinion of the show also wasn't improved by the fact that I interspersed my viewing with episodes of Stewart Harcourt's superb detective drama, 'Maigret', starring Rowan Atkinson. I might review it in full one day, but for now, I'll just prescribe it as the perfect remedy for 'Sherlock''s latest batch of nonsense.

It has special qualities – sophistication, maturity, atmosphere, cleverness – that 'Sherlock' once had, but has since lost, causing fans of the show and the genre to all be poorer for it. The show has lost its integrity, and also become unbearably self-congratulatory in the meantime. It needs to come back down to earth, get its act together, return to the basics, and rediscover what made it great in the first place. I fully intend to support it in its recovery, but it needs to first admit that it has a problem.",6
"Everything in the last episodes resembles to Vampire Diaries. Not sure why this is so hyped. The start of the story is fresh but after some episodes the story goes downhill.

I found the ending to be very abrupt. Everything kind of ends in the last episode. From the 3rd - 4th episode you'll start to guess who could be the villain.

Jenna Ortega was good in the role of Wednesday but the story does not actually land you anywhere. It is something that children would like but I would suggest that adults look elsewhere if you do not want to get disappointed. I am not very excited about the next season to be honest.",1
"Kind of interesting, we're just off Batman vs. Superman so we've seen two takes recently on the superhero vs superhero deal. As with most else, the DC movie was the less sophisticated of the two, I would have trouble telling you why Batman and Superman were fighting each other, there wasn't much that made sense in that one. I have two (no, three) problems with this one: 1) the fight CGI (UNLIKE The Avengers) was way too fast to follow, it just looks too hokey; 2) the movie was about 20 minutes too long, there's a fair amount of chaff to get through before the civil war; and 3) the plot was just a little too complicated. Oh, and 4) Vision is too powerful to be in this mix. On the plus side Spidey was done very well, the circumstances that lead to superhero vs. superhero were believable (if a tad complicated), and as usual Marvel is spot on in their casting of the new roles. So while I wasn't wildly cheering at the end as some in the audience were it was a pleasant if a little too lengthy watch.",7
"Idea behind the series is fine, but the final product is terrible. All the characters are very shallow, you'd think they would have more to them after nearly 10h (season 1) plus extremely ignorant. I forced myself trough season 1, but even though I realized it wasn't good it managed to disappoint me in the end.. Most of Ellen Pages scenes are unbearable to watch...",1
"Manger reader writing this after watching S3 EP 16, to know that the story only gets better, more complex and intense is unbelievable. I am glad an anime I saw in 2013 and thought had great potential has done so well.

Although I am dying to read the last chapter of the manga, it will be a sad day when its finally over. Enjoy this anime because it is rare.",9
"I watched this movie with my husband in 3D at an XD theater and was disappointed. I'm not a huge Sandra Bullock fan but thought it looked good. We both thought it was going to be awesome with the high ratings it got. I told my husband we have to see it at the theater in 3D, it's going to be cool. We totally wasted our money and should have waited for it to hit red box. This movie needed more action or something. Some of the scenes were not possible in a real life situation in space. So if you haven't seen it yet I would just wait until it comes out on DVD. Your not missing out on anything seeing it in a theater. Well maybe the popcorn:)",5
"I don't know if this was based off the cartoon or the original tv show (the remade movie with Huston and Julia was similar to the TV show. I know nothing about the cartoon except seeing some ads for it a few times. But the Gomez in Wednesday looks similar to the Gomez in the cartoon. So when I make any comparisons it will be based on the tv show and the Huston/Julia version compared to Wednesday characters.

First, Gomez, horrible casting except he looks like the cartoon. In the TV show and the Huston/Julia movie you could feel chemistry between them. Huston gave a dark, somber version of Morticia which was similar to the original. Julia was the suave and lovestruck Gomez. Gomez is OK in most of his roles but a suave and deadly with a sword type he is not. Zeta Jones just doesn't have what it takes to be a Morticia. She was an OK actress when she was in her prime and IMO her looks carried the lackluster acting. To be honest both are too old for the roles.

Wednesday did a good job of being the dark and cynical Wednesday. You could picture her as the younger version from the TV show. When she went to the dance and actually danced I thought that is out of character and then I remembered the episode in the original where she was showing off the latest dance craze.

Uncle Fester was a fairly decent reproduction of the original. Pugsley I was not impressed with. Lurch...Well what can you say about a character that mainly walks around and groan. While it was funny in the original it just doesn't seem like Lurch. I wonder if we will be seeing Cousin It and Grandmama in future episodes. My only question was other than being weird what was the justification for the Addams going to Nevermore? Supposedly Thornhill was the ""first"" normie at the school. They have vampires, werewolves, sirens, gorgons, shapeshifters and other things but I don't believe they have ever said what the Addams are.

Anyway, if you liked the original then Wednesday is a good reproduction if you overlook Morticia and Gomez. Now if this was based on the cartoon and that is how they are like that then forget this whole ramble :) But for some reason I picture the Gomez cartoon character as more like a weasley Igor type.",7
"This movie is not funny. How can people think that this is a good movie at all? It is very painfully predictable, boring, and just a waste of time and money. I found all of the characters to be annoying and difficult to like. The storyline is boring as hell and even the gross-out gags just weren't funny.If you really like high school movies, watch ones with style and likable characters, like ""Fast Times At Ridgemont High"",""Dazed And Confused"",""Ferris Bueller's Day Off"",""Revenge Of The Nerds""...even ""American Pie"" is far better than this load of typical nonsense.I found ""Superbad"" to be super crappy. To be avoided at all costs.",1
"First of all, there is no fierce battle in this movie, there are some attacks at crowd of useless soldiers playing sitting ducks on the beach.

Scenery is flawless, camera is great, last pilot is bad-ass, everything else is pretentious piece of rubbish.

Who writes this amazing reviews or movies like this is beyond me, an I am huge fan of Nolan's movies. Music and atmosphere are all you are used to in his work, but there is no action, and many will fall asleep during this flick.

Hugely overrated movie! 6 at it's best, and that is just because of camera work and pilot. I have literally never watched war movie this boring and god help us if we have 400 000 soldiers useless as these were.",4

Jojo is pure SS (sober and silly), its split personality failing to jell cogently, the dark moments hackneyed amid raucous slapstick and heavy handed caricatures save for Sam Rockwell's cynically comic German officer, dead ender.

The Hitler/Harvey hybrid gimmick works for all of five minutes before losing its edge and director Taika Waititi, for some reason bathing his film in green does not help matters by casting himself in the role. Johansen and McKenzie display adequate melancholy while Davis as Jojo is impressive in the lead, recalling Oskar from Volker Schlondorff's superb The Tin Drum (79), a far more accomplished film on the topic featuring a similar character. With its mood swings and hipster incidentals Jojo Rabbit remains too detached playing with itself to invest any emotion in.",5
Music is doing whole film. It's holding in tension and shows us what to expect or what not to expect. It's good film.,7
"Ah man, this is what we all needed! The antidote for all the Marvel blockbusters that we got shoved in our faces the last couple years. No offence, it was great. For kids. And conservative adults. But it's too well behaved. Where's the sex? The blood? The gore? The rock&roll? Introduce; The Boys.

Yes, there are many references to all known superheroes in this thrilling new series but from a different point of view which makes it different then all the other superheroes stuff. Billy Butcher would say, with strong New Zealand accent; ""They're taking the p*ss"". And that's exactly what makes The Boys so brilliant.

Long story short; superheroes are the new popstars of the world, admired as gods, keeping their social media appearance and their likes higher then Bieber and the Kardashians, while behind the scenes they're a bunch misbehaving rascals. But hey, what would you do if you got superpowers? Can't blame them for blowing off some steam after saving the world day in day out, right? Well, The Boys don't agree. And that's where s**t gets real.

Yeah, just watch this stuff. You won't regret it.",9
"Critizise the mr excellency of picturemaking himself when he is making a semibiographical movie...about himself. But theres only one, its slow...

so i had the privelige to watch this movie at 1.25 speed (just a bad habit of mine i might fall asleep at normal speed) and that made this film perfect .

Spieven stielburg do still make magic on the silverscreen, and the way he leads us through his adolescent years until the brink of fulltime shiva/guru on the big white linnen is just worth a look for everyone. I just hope he takes the doubledare to make 2 more at least before its too late...

so have a fabelmans night at the cinema or by your streaming device its fun and good entertainment, a recommend from the grumpy old man.",9
"I just don't get it. Sure the acting in some parts of the movie is good, but honestly, the entire ""angry Italian""-role is probably the easiest character to play. And i really don't get how every other character other then the ""angry Italian"" seems underdeveloped, plain boring and uninteresting.

The only way for you to like this movie is by sympathize with the characters. And sympathizing with the bad guys (since almost every main character is a murderer and a mob member, even the protagonist is a bad guy)is difficult, although not impossible. If the director makes the evil sides of those characters redeemable, then it would be a lot easier for the viewer to sympathize and worry about the protagonist if he/she was in danger. When i however see Michael Corleone in danger in this movie, every time i wish for him to be killed, for i feel nothing for him. Which means that watching this movie was a waste of time.

Although the soundtrack is quite good so instead of a rating of ""1"" The Godfather will receive a ""2"" out of generosity...",2
"Only hearing the name ""Chernobyl"" makes me so terrified. It is astonishingly good show. The soundtracks are certainly some high quality music, well it is an HBO thing. I can't wait to see the third episode.",9
"I loved the plot and the cast, the humor that is mixed in everything, the philosophy behind right and wrong, good and bad.

Highly recommended, you will watch it till the end without a single moment of boredom.",9
Frankly I did not like the movie the flat story film there were no suspense or doubt moments and the ghost in the film was very bad,3
"Watching House of the Dragon is like eating your favourite food, only that it's from yesterday. It's not fresh, not original, but you still like it. So far it does not have the compelling characters of GoT had (I miss you, Lord Varys) with the possible exception of Daemon Targaryen, but overall the characters are good and the plot is intriguing enough. I just wish they had switched the casting for King Viserys ans Otto Hightower. And explained to the viewers who that Crabfeeder guy was and what he wanted! I am looking forward to watch how the plot will evolve, there is some nasty staff in the novel and incest is surprisingly not the worst of it. Let's see how they deal with it!",8
"Lots of mixed reactions here. It took me about 3 episodes before I really started to get into it but once it bit me I found myself hanging to get to the next episode.

There a lot's of cheesy moments but I just think that it adds to the series and maybe it was written like that, I'm not sure.

Looking forward to season two.",8
"This was a bland mashup, suitable for viewers with short attention span. Fighting and action scenes gave way to any kind of story. Oh, yes, all stories have already been told in previous movies...? And every quarter of an hour, yet another acquaintance from DC universe enters the movie. I was expecting Harry Potter and Pippi Longstocking too, but sadly no. Save your hard earned cash, and take your family, or someone you love for an ice cream treat. That is money better spent.",2
Well the basic plot is sort of a dark groundhog day. Sadly thats where the comparrison ends. Groundhog day was clever and funny. This is crude and unfunny. The people giving it 10 stars must be the cast. Don't watch with children.,1
"Whilst I think they did the right thing in splitting Deathly Hallows into two movies, Part I was just unfortunate that it got the worse half. Like all Harry Potter movies, the story makes sense, there are little to no plot holes, it has great acting and a great story. As it is the first half of a book, the story is quite slow and dragged on compared to other HP movies and for that reason it suffers. The other thing that lets it down is by this point is that both one of the best HP characters Sirius and Dumbledore are dead, the absence of these two truly entertaining characters lets the film down a bit.",9
"Really enjoyable first season, loads of fantastic references to movie and TV history, real Back to the Future vibe which works really well.

Fantastic casting with the likes of Ed Bedgley Jr, Haley Joel Osman, Britt Lower and Keith David alongside the main leads, means you become invested in the characters, even if they're tinged with silliness and juvenile (but not unfunny) humour.

Then, as that sense of cleverness with a side of ridiculousness sets you up for season two, it comes off the rails a bit. Whilst still having some great moments, it struggles to regain momentum and loses a lot of charm. It just about finds its way back halfway through and just as you're about to quit you see it through.

Then season three. An intriguing start is quickly jettisoned into something so tedious it bordered on the unwatchable. So disappointed as got so invested felt I had to see it through. Even with a TTD won't ever get that time back.

Watch series one and stop. In fact, after series one just use your own imagination on how you'd want it to go on. As aside from Wolf's 80/90s escapades, fail to see how anyone could have gone so wrong.",4
"This is a dull by the numbers who do it. Daniel Craig can't carry of a southern accent and the plot is predictable. It's trying to be quirky film like the big lebowski, but it fails miserably.

Avoid this film.",2
"There were many nail-biting moments, like the door-opening sequences, and you will want the main characters to succeed because they are so likable. it's not so often that you'll find a film that's so intense & keeping you at the edge of your seat from the beginning to the end. Acting was incredible, Daniel Radcliff and others were very committed to their respective roles, the storyline is that of every prison break film but it's superbly executed here. the score was fitting, and cinematography was good.",7
"Well after all that First Episode.. I can Say I am Quite happy with everything. A few dead spots that needed less story so FF for that. I was entertained and held hope of more. I think the ORIG crew would be happy.

So going with a 7... I am seeing the old in a new form...And excited.",8
"First 2 seasons were great, season 3 was getting bad, season 4 wasn't worth watching at all. Ani made totally no sense to me to have her as a character in the show.",5
"The best part about this movie was the post-credits scene. Yes, the post-credits scene was better and way more exciting than the actual movie. Venom 2 isn't any better than the first, just a poorly executed series in my opinion. Save your money and go see 007 and Halloween instead.",5
Nothing special but the people likes when he cries and make it all about the movie.,5
"This show is dangerous. No show that makes suicide seem okay or that depicts a graphic suicide should EVER be seen by anyone under the age of 21. Imagine if there is somebody who is already depressed, and they watch this show. They could think that doing something like this is a way to get back at those they don't like.

Terrible, terrible show. Sure it's dramatic, but it's dangerous.",1
"Falcon and the winter soldier is a marvel series directed by Malcom Spellman. The series stars Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan who play the role of a superhero. It is a science-fiction series. It was originally released in april 2019. As of now 1 season and 6 episodes are available.

Six months after the evenement of Thanos Sam wilson and Bucky barnes we got a boucliers of captain America but Bucky Barnes the a put of the gouvernment. The gouvernment a take on other Captain America but causing problems of sam wilson.

In my opinion the series is full action and full of surprises. The series is entertaining. Another the actors is very very excellent !

Overall, I recommend this series.",9
"If you watched the trailer, you have seen the entire plot. They do NOT explain anything throughout the 2 wasted hours of watching this. Pretty Lame.",4
"Totally in love with the movie, restores my faith in bollywood . Amazing storyline, best for hopeless romantic, Kareena Kapoor and Shahid both did a fabulous job. Its must watch for rom-coms diggers and. Even if they sometimes come as unrealistic, but this movie is something different. I loved the songs and the simplicity of the sets. There were no over-budgeted scenes of Indians living abroad. This movie was all in all Indian in its essence and that's what made it a big hit.

I don't like romantic movies but this one is different.

Such great story, actors, acting, shooting locations and comedy.",10
"It looks and sounds great. Nice story with some exaggerated details but overall an enjoyable movie. Will it be the car movie that changed car movies forever? No. The underdog achieving what seemed impossible at the begging, is hardly an innovative formula. It won't be the last movie that does this because we all like it.

Shelby and Ford team up to beat the ""unbeatable"" Ferrari in 1966.",7
This movie is so boring. I couldn't believe how boring it was. It is hard to enjoy a movie where none of the characters are likable. Natalie Portman has one expression from start to finish. I couldn't care less if she lived or died. There is one character who is a lesbian. Why that information is given to us? I don't know because it adds nothing to the storyline. Natalie Portman used to cheat on her husband before he goes missing. Again why is this information relevant to the story? No idea! It kept annoying me how little the team that goes into the Shimmer is prepared- they don't have any protective gear. They don't have any vehicle.. they have to walk...they don't seem to even have any training on how to handle dangerous situations and wild animals. Why were they chosen? LOL Its a stupid story with boring characters. Wouldn't recommend.,2
"I expected more of the new season.

At this point I thought that the stories would unravel more and more, but no. Season 6 is as plain as any other random movie that will bore the brains out if me. Nothing spectacular, very predictable and I will forget 90% of it in a few days. This is not the quality stories that Black mirror used to tell. I watch the series at home, with my husband. It's usually at night and don't appreciate the times I had to switch the contrast of my tv or turn the volume down because suddenly a scene where a giant flashlight is burning my eyeballs. Or when the characters murmur almost the entire episode and they suddenly decide to blast annoying music. This is ridiculous, doesn't anyone even check if these things are comfortable to watch!?

I think this might be an effect that was looked for, to annoy and create an atmosphere, instead of actually writing an interesting plot and I highly dislike it. Yet, we already have Open AI guys, come on... I don't think it's that impossible to continue the series in an original and innovative manner. I don't care if another season is coming up and I won't watch it.. This is another thing that just got down hard.",2
Had a lot more potential. Too stylized! Could work as a normal movie.,4
"Had a couple slow episodes and definitely some changes to the characterization from the games that take some getting used to, but overall they did an awesome job and did a great job with casting. I had a blast matching up characters with their videogame counterparts.

The only major gripe I had was none of the characters sported their 'special weapons'. Hopefully with the way they teased Season 2 this will be more of a thing going forward.

Also ready for more awesome music. They did a great job with the soundtrack. Fizzled a bit in the middle, but the beginning and end episodes got hard and fast.",8
"The script is well-written with engaging complexity, a remarkable script that transformed into an excellent film. All of the castings are top tier, I can't imagine another Barbie other than Margot. The sounds and visuals are admittedly not too prominent, but it also contributes significantly to the emotional orientation, which was done nicely. However, the film could have done better in developing the supporting characters. It's truly amazing that a film like this could do so well at the box office compared to other billion-dollar movies. And I think I'm not the only one hoping that there won't be a sequel, it's much better standing alone.",9
"I feel like someone owes me a new set of batteries after binge watching season 1. Volume 10 for the music/fight scenes & 43 for the talking.

Couldn't watch the show for reaching for the remote.

Love the story but...",6
"an interesting, offbeat subject; crowe good but i found too much the blubblering; reminded me of derek jacoby overdoing claudius; we get that he's an antisocial math genius, and that story line would have been more interesting with more quirkiness- like the great scene where he asks his date to name anything, then finds it in the stars; fanciful but wonderful; so in a way it's a solid 8, except for a major flaw, i.e. that too much of what's shown as real isn't; if you don't pick up on that it's given about 1:20 into the movie, but by then you're wondering if that is being imagined, too; is it only characters present when he's present? there is exactly the same level of detail in the schizoid scenes as the real scenes- and that's not the way paranoid schizophrenia works, aside from confusing what's real and imagined; point is it's too much like movies that late in the game show that it's all a dream; minor role but very nice and unaffected jennifer connoly",6
"The Russo brothers, who had just mediocre films like 'You, Me and Dupree' and 'Welcome to Collinwood' to their credit, literally shot to the top with the excellent second instalment in Marvel's Captain America series. Also, Joss Whedon set the MCU ensemble bar really high with 'The Avengers' (2012) and 'Age of Ultron' (2015) (with the former being a slightly more entertaining film).

Hence, the Russos had a behemoth of a task at hand while making the third instalment in the Cap series, which by the first look and initial story-reveal looked on route to becoming Avengers 2.5. And boy, did they deliver in style. Civil War is hands-down the best ensemble MCU film by far. It is a definite crowd-pleaser by all means, although we missed the likes of Bruce Banner, Thor and Nick Fury.

Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, the writers of Thor 2 and Cap 2, pen a screenplay that strikes a fulfilling balance of action, emotion, comedy, and filled with twists and surprises. Story goes as simple as this: Stark and Rogers are for and against political interference in the activities of the Avengers respectively, and this leads to the team splitting into two, and the events that follow form the core of 'Civil War'.

While Marvel crazies already knew of the plot line and had watched several scenes of the film published via YouTube, it was undoubtedly a huge task to match the expectation levels set by the previous films. But the Russos have dethroned all previous entries by handing us Civil War. The way the screenplay tackles the character of Bucky Barnes is certainly one of the many highlights in the film. Sebastian Stan returns to play his meatiest role yet, and sheds more light on his Winter Soldier persona. As seen in Cap 2, the set- pieces in Civil War (both on the ground and in the sky) look remarkably well-shot and choreographed. So many swift cuts coupled with fast-paced action elevates the movie to a different platform altogether. Upper-cuts, blows, kicks and punches are landed neatly and put to good effect. The Leipzig airport set-piece positions itself right on top of the list of the best choreographed action sequences ever made on film. Trent Opaloch's cinematography is reminiscent of his work in District 9, Elysium, Cap 2 and Chappie.

Well, it is unquestionably a treat for the senses to watch Team Cap (Rogers, Bucky, Wilson, Barton, Lang and Maximoff) go head-on-head with Team Iron-Man (Stark, Romanoff, Rhodes, Vision, T'Challa and Parker). The propaganda for each character is etched out with utmost subtlety. Captain America, Iron Man and Bucky Barnes take the bulk of the screen time and they pull off their acts quite convincingly. Daniel Bruhl's Zemo serves as a great antagonist pulling all the right strings and chooses to spread villainy by making the Avengers go against each other. Chris Evans is incredible as Cap, while Downey shines in a role that requires him to be comparatively subdued (and guilt-ridden).

While it is unmistakably Cap's and Iron Man's film, Civil War fleshes out two major additions to the MCU in astounding fashion..T'Challa a.k.a Black Panther & Peter Parker a.k.a Spiderman. Chadwick Boseman does a great job with what he's been handed out and sets the stage for his solo film. Tom Holland appears to be the most promising Spiderman yet, and he gets to show off his skills in that wonderfully executed airport sequence. Also, that scene where Tony Stark goes to meet Parker is effing hilarious. Paul Rudd's Ant Man also made the proceedings a lot wittier and enjoyable. Every character shines in their individual roles, and credit should go to the writers and the directorial duo for giving each superhero an adequate amount of screen time. Except for Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye (who I felt appeared bland and underwritten in this film), all characters leave an impression that is sufficient for the viewer to care for their futures in the upcoming Infinity War films. Stan Lee's cameo towards the end was a nice touch.

Marvel looks like they hit the jackpot here, especially with DC's Batman V Superman being a strictly mediocre film and performing way below expectations; they can allow to rest their heads for a bit because the groundwork for the Spiderman / Black Panther solo films as well as the Infinity War sequels have been laid out almost impeccably in Civil War.

Oh, and hold on to your seats for the mid-credits as well as post- credits scenes.😉",8
"It isn't so much a film as a continuous flow of mockery, but it's difficult to tell whether the mockery is self-mockery or if it's pointed at its audience. Is this film laughing with you or at you? Who knows. This is the problem. Irreverence? More like gleeful stupidity with a hardcore case of ADHD.",3
"I watched. But I couldn't' t like it very much. This is action movie but i could see action just twenty minutes. Shortly %15 action, %10 mythology %75 dialog.

In my opinion; Captain America movie is OK, Hulk movies is OK, Iron man movies OK, S.H.I.E.L.D movie is OK. But hero's team movie avengers is poor than others.

This is movie which you can watch in your spare time. 8.6 rating is too much for this movie. it can be around 5 average. Also movie action scenes look like computer game trailer. Movie story is better than movie digitized action scenes. This movie hasn't got story enough.",3
"I was hooked early on in the 1st season. I liked the characters. The acting was great. The story moved along well. But then you start to notice the formula. The Robinson's encounter a problem. Have a flash back, deal with the problem and barely survive, then continue on their mission. Even when the show itself tries to make a joke about how this one family is always involved in every major issue, one way or another, it came off idiotic. The show is an one trick pony. No depth, no vision. Ironically, it seems that is what really got ""Lost in Space"".",5
"The story is of course painful so it's loaded with emotion. Human beings suck. We get it. But there is no character development and no plot. All we know is Plat's physical pain and his apparent strength to endure it. We feel pity for him. We can sympathize, but we are given very little opportunity to empathize.

The actors pain doesn't match the beatings. When the carpenters build, they're not really building. When the field workers are working they're not really working. Brad Pitt's monologue was embarrassing and amateur.

Sorry for the analogy, but it's like a porn movie where we are here for the immediate gratification, not the substance.

Sorry...I just don't understand they hype.",1
"It starts off quite nicely and sets an immersive sort of Dungeons & Dragons-y tone that should appeal to many a fantasy fan. Unfortunately, the more episodes we get into, the more flaws start to pop up. It's really difficult to keep track of the main plot, because the show jumps erratically back and forth in time a lot, sometimes entire decades at a time it seems, but makes no effort to inform the viewers of when a particular event happens. Keeping tabs on the timeline becomes an even harder proposition because the characters are seemingly incapable of aging, so two consecutive scenes may be set 15-20 years apart, but there's nothing to visually help the viewer understand it. Not to mention that all but one - Yennefer the mage - keep the exact same clothes through the years. The authors also make the questionable decision to mix monster-of-the-week episodes in-between the ones about the main plot, the way ""X Files"" used to do, but given the short number of episodes here, everything simply gets even more confusing.

All in all, it's a somewhat entertaining show, but most of the characters are poorly outlined and their personalities and goals remain difficult to comprehend throughout the episodes. I never read the source material, so even after watching the entire first season, I still had no idea why anyone behaved the way they did, or why I should care about them.",5
Tense. I was so tense my leg muscles hurt. I enjoyed it.,7
Dont think this movie did its best few mistakes but still recommend it for interests.,5
"Am I the only one to read Hogwarts a History? You cannot apparate or disapparate onto Hogwarts grounds! I love watching movies in the historical genre, so when I heard J.K Rowling wrote another biography, I rushed to go watch it with my parents in a muggle movie hall. The Crimes of Grindelwald has not stuck to the rules and experiences Harry, Ron and I had at Hogwarts. I understand that you were trying to make it flashier for muggles, but muggles (I just recently found out) read the biographies on our lives too! Another thing I need to clarify is that every spell, potion, or action in magic always has a meaning. When the crowd apparated out of the cemetery was extremely confused. If the crowd could apparate, then why couldn't Newt and Tina. It could be that the Ministry had relaxed the charms or Grindelwalds spells were too strong, but working in the Ministry myself, I can tell you firsthand the security is very strong. It is unlikely Grindelwald had more power. I appreciate how the movie clearly showed the effects of every spell. Additionally, after 2 movies about the obscureal, I'm still confused about it's role. I understand that you are trying to keep the element of mystery around it, but I think us viewers should have at least a better understanding of what it is. The storyline is alright but I feel as though it is branching off at certain points. The introduction was very exciting! I was at the edge of my seat while Grindelwald was escaping! After the escapade, I watched as Newt refused the job at the Ministry. I was very curious to why he turned it down. I actually really liked Leta Lestrange! Though I did get into a bit of trouble with Bellatrix Lestrange, I couldn't even hold a grudge against her! She was beautiful, funny, and easygoing. Also I admire how she keeps her hair from being overly bushy! After the Ministry rejection, I watched Newt care for all his creatures. I have a friend, Luna Lovegood, who would love to see all of those fantastic creatures. It was also truly fascinating to see the difference between how Grindelwald gathered his followers, versus Voldemort. Queenie and Jacob's love story is very sweet and I want to see how their relationship blossoms. Overall I give the beginning an A+ After the introduction, that's when I felt the story spiraled out of control. Firstly, they didn't put much background on Nagini and Credence. That made me a bit puzzled. Secondly, the character of Yusuf came very suddenly and didn't put the amount of impact he was supposed to have in the story. Lastly, Dumbledore version as his younger self was perfectly portrayed. I just feel as though we could have learned a bit more about his relationship with Grindelwald. I was so curious to know after Rita Skeeter published that horrible book about him. For Dumbledore development, Rowling had the choice between right and easy, but unfortunately she chose easy. I love that J.K Rowling is giving Grindelwald some attention in the form of a movie. It's so fascinating to learn all about him! But as a muggleborn, the magical world was very special to me, so I would hate for other kids like me to get the wrong understanding. Thank you for reading my opinion on this movie. Sincerely, Hermione Granger, Minister of Magic",6
"Finally I have seen Iron Man 2, an as I expected I loved it.

Now for anyone who has been in an underground bunker for the past couple of years this is the second instalment of one of Marvel Comics biggest franchises. Directly following on from the first film we join Tony Stark with his life filling up with a whole host of new problems.

The ever brilliant Sam Rockwell is a rival arms dealer, who is envious of stark and his business. I've always loved Rockwell from when I first saw him in Galaxy Quest and wonder how he is not a bigger star, especially after watching his solo turn in Moon.

Mickey Rourke is out for vengeance as Ivan Vanko/Whiplash a genius physicist who believes the Howard Stark, Tony's dad, stole his arc reactor idea, the piece of kit that keeps Tony alive and powers the iron man suit.

Don Cheadle steps into Terrance Howards shoes as best friend to Stark, Jim Rhodes. I originally wasn't happy to hear that Howard would not be returning for the second film, but Cheadle is a more than capable replacement and makes the part his own.

I was afraid before I saw the film that it was going to suffer from Spiderman 3 syndrome by featuring too many characters to fit into one film, but it really doesn't allowing each their own screen time with solid character development.

Director Jon Favreau has beefed up his cameo from the first film into something of a supporting role and you can tell he was having fun during the making , by giving himself some great comedy moments.

The star of the show, Robert Downey jr. puts in another charismatic turn in his most natural role to date. It may not be his best but being Tony Stark comes so easily to him.

There are a number of geek out moments if you are a comic book fan or used to watch the cartoon, mainly the suitcase suit moment as Stark used to carry his suit around with him so he could become Iron Man at anytime, and they have worked this into the movie. Also there are a few, seven to be exact, obscure hint towards the imminent Avengers movie. As always with Marvel movies stay after the end credits and you shall be rewarded.

I knew before seeing this film I would love it and although it may not be a 10/10 film such as The Dark Knight it is a lot more enjoyable and accessible.

"We weren't able to see this in the theatre and I'm happy we only paid the on demand rental fee to finally watch this movie. It is a thinly written story of 2 struggling artists and, randomly, the cast break out into mediocre song and dance. Since it is an attempt at a contemporary musical apparently the critics felt it necessary to give the film an ""A"" for effort- hence all the awards- but we were not impressed, at all. 😕",1
"Without any doubt, concept was good but got spoiled when creative team develop character as being fan of actor. Main conflict in this film is that senior is not ready to say sorry to his fan without any reason, just for his arrogance sake but he don't mind to butter extremely rich person just for money sake. Fan also crosses his limit to push him to say sorry. This conflict and characterization makes both senior and junior gray. You can't relate or feel sympathy with any one. First ten minutes are just collage of archive footage of senior and junior imitating him. Which is too much but after watching the film you feel like it was best part. Film starts with some realistic note, establishing junior a very common man but when Police starts chasing him, super man emerges out within him. All chasing sequences are like superman vs spider man. Audience had been taken for so granted that they can come up with so lame and stale scenes of imposture senior by junior. Height of lameness is when senior security guard and even wife can't recognize the junior, even after so much visible age difference between them and after being aware that junior can try to intrude. Makers think that senior chasing junior will look astonishing on screen so they idiotically removed the fact that professional Police exists in India and always can do many folds better job than senior in real life but after all senior tries to retaliate to junior in his style. One shot is subtle and good when junior burns his senior poster with match box, which has cover of senior. First half is slow but second half in just unbearable. In climax senior preaches and try to motivate junior but still not ready to say sorry!!!? Its just wrenching the character. Makers were aware of final product so they try to lure audience with that promotional song which is not in movie, even in end credits, so we miss at least one relief. Performance wise Shah Rukh Khan as junior Gaurav is very good, yes prosthetic makeup supported him but his expressions was perfect for the character.",3
"This was a very long animated mostly action videogame flick which could have been a lot better but instead due to the lack of an actual plot failed big time. u can say this was a failed matric clone. in fact it was weird and crazy at times and it was like a blender which threw in the mix the 80s music pop culture together with icon movies like THE FLY and THE SHINING combining also pop culture monsters like T-REX...KING KONG....MECHA-GODZILLA AND............(i'm not kidding) CHUCKY......LOL Yes....even Charles lee ray made an appearance in this mess.

on the positives the music was great if u are in your....50s......40s.........and the visual effects were great BUT it suffered from long animation videogame action scenes.

all in all a weird movie which had it's moments but it will never be a classic and it will be forgotten in time.

GRADE // C (cause I love the 80s music)",6
"Initially skeptical about watching a series centered around chess, I was pleasantly surprised by the captivating storyline, brilliant cinematography, and exceptional performances. Despite my lack of interest in the game, I found myself engrossed from the start. The actor's portrayal of a chess prodigy was particularly commendable. While the series excelled in many aspects, I wished for a deeper exploration of the complexities of chess strategy. A missed opportunity was engaging the audience with the game itself, making it more relatable and intriguing. In summary, an unexpectedly enjoyable series, though a more pronounced focus on chess would have added depth.",8
"This is not a good movie. Not even for a brain dead action film to watch whilst hungover. Messy cuts, very random music choices, filled with clichés in a bad way.",2
I actually didn't really have any plans on actually watching The Queen's Gambit when I first saw the trailer. Then I couldn't stop hearing about how good this show was by just about everyone and saw all the award nominations it's gotten so I figured I'd give it a chance. I'm so glad I did. I never thought a series based around chess would be so entertaining. I couldn't stop watching and ending binging all 7 episodes over one weekend. Anya Taylor Joy deserves every bit of love she's received for her job in this. She's become a really good actress. This show will hook and will have you thinking about chess non stop but you don't need to know anything about chess to enjoy this. It's so much more than a series about chess.,8
My favorite part of one punch man is the one punch man part.,7
"I went in expecting a movie about the bloody and massive retreat of the English but instead the film makers just put a bunch of guys on the beach some props and bad effects, the movie is very very slow and boredom for the viewer is always around the corner. So why do I rate it 6....

I gave it a 6 because of the musical atmosphere that actually made the movie watchable. After 20 minutes in I really started to feel the expression of despair of disbelief after the Blitzkrieg. How could it be the Germans just overran us... So if you don't like the music after 10 minutes, shut it down, because you will not enjoy this movie, you'll find it cheap and boring because almost nothing happens. People waiting on a beach, a pilot in the air and some guys on little boats.

I guess they wanted to create a sort of art movie, capturing a feeling but it was just not good enough. I don't regret I payed for it (my wife does) but I will never watch this movie again.",6
"I'm not here to comment on the relationship to the video game this show is adapted from, I don't play games like that and don't know or care anything about them. From a purely cinematic point of view, this show is excellent thru the three episodes I have seen so far. Art direction and set decoration is superb, as is cinematography. Performances range from adequate to damn good. Writing is topnotch, I was not expecting much from a show with this one's premise -- I don't even bother watching any of the ""Walking Dead"" shows for that reason -- but the way in which they introduced the storyline, the various backstories, the human consequences and endurance of catastrophe, are all very well constructed and detailed, dialog is appropriately sparse yet nothing important is left out.

In particular, S1E3 is one of the most dramatically beautiful episodes of any show I've ever seen, thanks to the lovely guest performances of Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett, and the poignant voice of the glorious Linda Ronstadt in the soundtrack. That episode alone deserves 10 out of 10 stars. Since it's early yet, I'm reserving judgment on the overall series and being conservative with that rating, (the 8 is really 8.5 rounded down), but I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of the season.

Edited 3/14/23:... I'm inclined to downgrade the show overall after watching the season-ending 9th episode. I would say the first 8 episodes deserve a 9 out of 10 stars rating, but the awful insanity of the 9th episode brings it back down to a 7 now. There is no acceptable excuse for what the writers made Joel do in episode 9, regardless of the grossly cold explanation they offered in the post-episode interviews. If Joel does not get the death he deserves in S2E1, I will probably stop watching after that. But I may stop watching anyway, just because I don't see any point to the show continuing with or without his now thoroughly ruined character -- the development of his relationship with Ellie is one of the crucial things that made it work so well for 8 episodes, and it was a relationship that had a foundation of honesty, which has just been shattered for no good reason. Regardless of any statement to the contrary, Ellie must always have doubts about Joel's morality and truthfulness going forward, and I have no desire to see that played out.",7
"I was engrossed in this for the beginning episodes but then it started to drag. I wish I didn't have to wait a week for each episode because I have to go back and review. I too, am tired of all the dark scenes. I'm always trying to figure out what's going and who's on screen. May not bother with the rest of this series even tho I am a Stephen King fan.",5
"When I say that this is the best film ever made, I really mean it (including Hollywood movies too). The movie has been divided into two parts (cause of its long duration of 5 hours) but not for a single second have I felt boredom watching it. In fact I have watched the movie nearly 30-35 times and it never fails to bore me till date. The reason - it's characters. Each and every actor is simply brilliant in their role whether they have a screentime of an hour or only of five minutes. And the lead characters - you get to live them in this movie, such is its brilliance. The combined effort of the actors, writers and of course the director Anurag Kashyap simply make this movie perfect. Coming to the soundtrack, it simply fits into the movie. It fits the characters and adds to the perfection of the movie. This movie is the PERFECT movie and will certainly be held as an all time classic in the coming years.",10
"very good movie, Heath ledger is superb and Christian Bale is very good although I don't understand why they have to twist his voice so badly!. The movie is an improvement compared to the first Batman and Heath Ledger is actually a better Joker than Jack Nicholson - he is indeed terrifying. BUT..... once again an American movie cannot end without a an pathetic pathos-emotional ending. in under 15 minutes the movie is reduced form a masterpiece to a typical American mainstream movie. I would have given the movie a clear 10, but I have to settle for a 7 - I know the Director is Englishand so should the ending have been. It is embarrassing!!",2
"This film has a really positive vibe about it and the 1933 atmosphere and attitudes are captured pretty authentically - you transported are there after just a couple of minutes.

It's essentially the story about friendship: it's the relationship between an idealistic doctor, an idealistic black lawyer and a beautiful idealistic artist.

It's a good old-fashioned mystery adventure: you wouldn't be surprised if you saw Indiana Jones walking past.

It's a political thriller: it deals with a very serious and historical incident back in '33 but handles it without taking itself too seriously - the result is a totally immersive, entertaining couple of hours. It's hard to believe that it's a two hour film because the time just flies by and this is one of those films which as you notice its running time is coming to an end, you're sad because you actually don't want it to end.

David O Russell has created a thoughtful, thoroughly engaging motion picture with rich, multi-layered characters who aren't just believable but characters you would like to know. Christian Bale is wonderfully eccentric without ever losing credibility or a sense of gravitas. It's rare to find a motion picture has so many well written characters with such real life personalities. They all have their own sense of fun but they're all just on this side of sensible and never silly or unbelievable.

The plot, which at some points seems secondary to getting to know the characters, is based loosely on an actual event and that's used as the basis of the original murder-mystery feel. The story is not complicated at all nevertheless exciting and keeps you guessing who are the good guys and who are the bad guys (subtle clue: the Nazis with the swastikas are the bad guys!) When everything is finally revealed towards the end you get that rare, warm feeling of satisfaction that you don't get too often in films these days where all the loose ends are tied up, everything makes sense.

And yes the MI5 agent really is Austin Powers.",9
"I love it. I long for it every week. Once a week?! Cruelty in its most brutal form.

I have no idea why i love it so much. But it's like delicious macaroni cheese - not the best meal every created, but one that's full of flavour and makes you feel comfy, cosy and full.

Thanks team.",8
"This show gets you hooked. It's so intriguing, so well done, it's has great acting, and it has great writers. One of my favorites.",9
"Pans Labyrinth stayed in my mind. Although flawed; It oozed originality of thought & brave film-making.

After walking out of The Shape of Water, mind you after an hour & a half, I wondered to myself whether cartoon, animation & fantasy have mutated into one.

Again fine actors, great cinematography & the possibility of something quite special got lost in a poor script, stereotype and run-of-the-mill cliches.

Too much money obviously takes away the hunger, bravery & risk-taking of many film makers. Oh dear.

Fingers crossed Guillermo del Toro puts up a good fight to reject mediocrity.",3
"I wanted to like this reboot. The cast is good, special effects great but writing is not good. I found myself fast forwarding through dopey scenes that were meant to establish relationships because the dialogue was cringe worthy. There is SO much great writing for TV now that it's not tolerable to watch subpar work. Too bad. Great premise.",3
"This was an interesting premise but ultimately felt like there was just too much going on, with way too much CGI. I didn't think much of the acting or the music either. The handful of references to the Harry Potter universe were amusing but that was about it.",1
"As in other stories, society is concerned with the collateral damage done by superheroes and there is a movement to rein in the Avengers. Specifically, the Avengers would work under the authority and supervision of the United Nations--a concept immediately rejected by Captain America (Chris Evans). This conflict parallels the real-life struggle between globalism and nationalism.

Those who align with Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) accede to the popular demands, while Captain America heads the group that rejects the proposal, making them outlaws. Tony Stark agrees to apprehend the rogue Avengers, setting up a battle between the two groups of superheroes.

A significant development is the introduction of Spider-Man (Tom Holland) to the conflict. Marisa Tomei plays Peter Parker's Aunt May, which is a welcome addition.

The antagonist in the film appears to be Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), but Captain America has doubts. Is he unduly influenced by his decades-old relationship with Bucky?

The story about the dissension in the Avengers team paired with great action scenes makes this a strong entry in the canon of the MCU. There is something very elementary about imagining which superhero can beat another superhero, so the battle between the two factions in this film scratches an itch of all fans.",8
"A typical Netflix movie that shoves feminism, LGBT, black people, etc. down our throats.

And what is up with the breaking of the 4th wall? This movie is NOT deadpool which means breaking the 4th wall every two minutes does not work. Jesus...

The only two reason to watch this movie is the AMAZING ACTING from Henry Cavill and especially Sam Claflin.",3
"I have to give this movie a 10 because of the pure enjoyment factor. I think most people get carried away with pointing out the little details in movies when whats really important for this type of movie is how much you enjoyed it. This movie was definitely one of the most enjoyable movies I have ever seen. It's got the coolest characters which I say reminds me of looney toons and still the action is cool. It's fake out of this world kung fu action but the moves where still performed very skillfully and the movie really had something to it that a lot of other movies didn't. It was simply just fun to watch. I watched it twice already and my girlfriend was just asking to see it again. Her dad watched it and kept saying how good it was. I definitely recommend this movie. If your not concerned with the little this and thats, and just want to have fun watching a enjoyable movie, GO SEE THIS! THIS MOVIE ROCKS!!!",10
"This series is full of great talent, A good story that avoids falling into the run-of-the-mill trap. Seriously great photography rarely seen on the small screen.

So why am I yawning?

I'm going to blame the directors. Maybe the producers, too. The committee aproach to both doesn't seem to be turning out the dramatic tension I expected.

Hopefully season 2 will deliver what this cop show fan of 50 years is looking for.

I'll give it 7 stars because there's really nothing bad here. I just expected more considering the major talent involved.",7
"The Dark Knight Rises was better than I was expected, although I have higher standards than most people on IMDb.

This film had a very difficult task living up to its predecessor, which I admit was excellent.

Christopher Nolan is one of the better directors working now, but this film just doesn't offer him much to work with. The fundamental problem is the lack of a coherent plot. This is a film which plods along, through its longer-than-necessary running time.

It appears they attempted to compensate for the lack of a good story arc by cramming as many plot devices and cameo appearances into the movie as possible.

This is certainly a much better film than ""Avengers"" of ""Amazing Spider Man"", but those movies were just trash.",6
"For reasons not entirely clear to me I just watched a one-and-a-half hour PS3 cutscene. A late 90's actionmovie throwback, (almost?) worse than ""Spawn"".

Keanu Reeves ""Neo's"" himself through a script so thin it could have been written on the side of the paper. Familiar faces are put in shiny suits to make a dashing appearance. That's all they need to do, show their face and ooze cool, cause they'res little acting to really talk about. Look tough, drop a oneliner and pull the trigger like it's 1996.

It feels like you're watching ""The Crow 6"" or something.

Even the rain feels fake in this sad crime fantasy.",2
"I'll be honest, the whole comic book genre Was beginning to get a little overdone and stale. *cough marvel cough cough*. Then a show like this comes along and WOW. I feel regenerated in my need to watch the whole genre again. Just an amazing piece of television, I was hooked. Great acting from Robert Sheehan as always, he adds a refreshing twist now and again. Shows like this, and The Boys, are exactly how it should be done. Let's hope Netflix picks up another series.",8
"Over the top cursing, drug abuse, dirty talk, dirty act, lying, cheating people out of their money, homosexual and regular orgies, sexual masochism, public masturbation, drunkenness, over 700 profanities and blasphemy; adultery, child endangerment, reckless driving, incest, international money laundering, low level bribery, prostitution and occasional fleeting tender or dramatic moment. A scumbag's rise and fall and return to despicable life of greed, conceit and moral void. Scorsese and DiCaprio revel with the revelers in this flick to show...actually for an unknown reason. There is no moral reference point in the film, rather a neutral excitement about the cunning of the main character. There is not one good or sympathetic person depicted in this film. All are scumbags with no hope or desire for any form of redemption, remorse or a lasting human feeling. Very dark and depressing movie; actually misanthropic. The macabre disregard of any value is well hidden behind dark or foul humor and a blur of debauchery, crime and excessive luxury.

The one thing that maybe deserves attention is the depiction of Belfort as a magnetic and captivating speaker, a preacher of mammon. He seemed to me more of a cult leader than a con man and a trader.

Whoever made this movie hates man with a fiendish craftiness. Also evident in the very last scene.",2
"Glass Onion, the sequel to the 2019 smash hit murder mystery Knives Out, sees the return of Benoit Blanc as he's invited to a private Greek island to participate in a murder mystery game, courtesy of billionaire Miles Bron. When one of the guests ends up actually dead, Blanc is on the case to figure out who killed them and why.

With writer/director Rian Johnson ready to return with a fresh injection into the veins of fans of the whodunit genre, anticipation was high for Glass Onion. Knives Out was excellent on almost every level, delivering a story that was funny, engaging, and full of surprises. This sadly isn't quite the case with Glass Onion. While the cast assembled for the film rivals that of Knives Out, the movie is filled with thin, one note characters that come across as mere set dressing at times. Contrasted to the shallowness of the Thrombeys of Knives Out, who were delightfully despicable people the audience loved to hate, Glass Onion offers little in the way of giving viewers a reason to care, let alone root for or against them. In turn, it's this lack of development that leads to a low stakes affair that, while entertaining at times, fails to really draw the audience into the world.

The major issue with Glass Onion is in its pacing; too much time is spent in the first act attempting to set up multiple storylines that tie back to Miles Bron. The most important element of any murder mystery is the presence of a dead body; Knives Out excels at this because hardly five minutes passes before the maid stumbles upon the dead body of Harlan Thrombey. It's what kicks off the events of the movie, it's what propels the entirety of the story. In Glass Onion, viewers are subjected to an entire act of setup and are well into the second act, some 40ish minutes, before the murder happens. While the story thankfully kicks into a bit of a higher gear after that, the sluggish beginning may leave audiences lukewarm.

Glass Onion isn't without its merits. Johnson still manages to throw in a few surprise twists and reveals as the narrative rambles along and his dialogue is almost as strong as it is in Knives Out. The other classic element of the whodunit, the big third act speech that reveals everything, is just as funny as the first, if not a bit more unconventional. With a final sequence that's surprisingly cathartic, as well as incredibly rueful, Glass Onion works in almost as many ways as it fails.

Regardless of the movie's story and its execution, the acting is one of the highlights of Glass Onion. Once again starring Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc, the southern fried detective, the film takes the beloved character and injects a bit of personal life into him. We see Blanc's home, how he spends his time when he's not on a case, and some of the people he chooses to spend his time with. Craig returns to the role with an ease and comfort; it's clear that these are movies he enjoys working on and that joy emanates through the character. At times witty, at times cheeky, but still deadly serious when the time calls for it, Craig's Blanc is just as good as he was in the first film.

Also starring Edward Norton as Miles Bron, the tech billionaire who hosts the soon-to-be-fatal party, Norton reminds audiences why he's so good at the roles he chooses to play. If Benoit Blanc is the center of the film, Norton's Miles is the story's off center. He's the tie that binds the ensemble together, both metaphorically and literally as it's he who brings everyone to his remote island for a weekend of partying and mystery solving. Norton is still great at these types of roles, having played them often, and Glass Onion is no exception, he's perfectly cast in the part.

Along for the ride is Janelle Monáe, the best thing the audience has to a tether in this movie. Monáe dazzles on the screen as Cassandra Brand, a force for Benoit Blanc to contend with. Monáe is charming as ever, creating a character that is likeable enough to root for throughout the course of the story's events.

As for the rest of the ensemble, they play their parts well. Unfortunately, thanks to the overall shallowness of development, the actors and actresses work well with what they have but are given little time to really let their talents shine. Kate Hudson stands out of the pack as a former supermodel, tiptoeing to the line of hamming it up without crossing over into farce.

Written, directed, and produced by Rian Johnson, Glass Onion sees the veteran filmmaker return his sandbox for the followup to his rollicking whodunit. As a feature director, Johnson has only missed once to date (2008's The Brothers Bloom). Johnson's eye for detail that forces the audience to pay attention to what's going in an all aspects of the frame have resulted in some of the most visually interesting films in the last decade. It's his talent as a director that saves Glass Onion from being a disaster; even when the story is lagging, Johnson's ability to create interesting visuals (shot by Steve Yedlin, returning from the first movie) and movement within the frame at least give the moviegoer something to track and appreciate while waiting for something to happen. As a writer, however, Glass Onion is one of his worst to date. With tepid, uninteresting characters filling a nonsense narrative, it's difficult at times to really care what's happening at times during the film. Thankfully, Netflix provided Johnson with a decent budget that leads to lavish costuming and impeccable set design; one of the most interesting things about Glass Onion is Miles Bron's expansive seaside estate and all the little things Johnson and his team adorn it with.

Overall, Glass Onion, while enjoyable in spurts and fits, doesn't hold a candle to its original. Compared to Knives Out, Glass Onion feels like a pale imitation, a copy of a copy, a product a filmmaker with lesser talent than Rian Johnson traced over like their hand to make a Thanksgiving turkey outline. The charm of Benoit Blanc still exists; Craig's performance is sharp as ever, but the ensemble cast, while talented themselves, lack any sort of depth or possess any characteristics that will make the audience fear for their safety. Still beautifully shot and dexterously directed by Rian Johnson, the technical makeup of the film is superb, yet the story itself lacks the same punch or flare that its predecessor contained. Regardless, as it hits theaters this Thanksgiving week and Netflix two days before Christmas, the movie is still decent enough to be watched with the family during holiday gatherings.",5
"From a sequel to the excellent original you expect more and better. While this movie isn't bad it did not wow me like the first one did. Robert Downy junior is excellent and does save the movie from getting extremely dull. I can understand the director's approach to make this superhero movie into something more. But in doing so he sacrificed the one thing that matters the most in movies like this,action. There is not enough action. And the action that was depicted wasn't nearly as exciting as it was in the original. For a movie about Iron Man there just wasn't enough Iron Man to be enjoyed. And let's face it. That is the one reason people are coming to see this movie. To me the plot in an action movie is always secondary. Since in this case the focus was on the story I do have to say something about it. Well,that is going to be difficult. There is no coherent plot to speak of. And as a result it is far less compelling than it could have been. The villain (Mickey Rourke) isn't bad ass enough to actually be taken as a serious threat. The introduction of Black Widow showed promise,but ultimately was more used as window dressing. Finally we got to see War Machine in action. Still far to brief for my liking. All in all there is a decent movie but nowhere near the level of the far superior original.",6
"If you know the story, understand all characters then you will understand me. Definitely the worst interpretation of the story. It's not a slavic series. Just another movie about middle ages. Showrunners did great movie for community and not for a fans of Witcher universe . Congrats! Wrong actors, wrong atmosphere. You did great job for ruining all the expectations.",1
"For some reason this film is completely missing the distinctive Nolan touches of finesse pacing and emotional involvement that made the previous DK episodes classics.

It all just felt a looked a bit B-movie ish. The bat vehicles looked like cardboard mock-ups, the ""guns"" visibly wobbled about and on the bat bike the effect is bordering on comical. The tank gun muzzle flashes had that kind of sparkly effect that was state of the art in about uuh 1985. The main fight scenes lacked any sense of tension or intensity. The bad guys/girls lacked any real menace. The plot was poorly paced.

The presence of the top rank actors like Freeman Caine and Oldman only served to make these shortcomings more noticeable and discordant. Think Terminator 3 - its basically a B movie riding on the coat tails of its predecessors.",6
"Chris Hemsworth did a great job indeed and the movie is well directed.

But this is Dhaka, Bangladesh. This is not a country led by terrorism! There is no terrorist group in here that can talk like this with our any defence officer. I know this is just a movie. But please don't hurt our feelings. You don't have that right. If you are to represent Bangladesh, represent it in a correct way.",6
"First of all, the cinematography was garbage. I guess some directors think that it looks good to film a movie as if it were filmed by an amateur using a go-pro. Not only were the camera shots always shaky, they weren't even good. Some shots just seemed pointless. As if some high school first-time videographer was trying out shots that they thought would look good, like putting the camera on the floor. How creative. Not. Also, many shots seemed like they were zoomed in too far, cropping focal points out of the scene.

I personally don't think such camera techniques look good. They look cheap. The idea of a movie is to sink in to it and ""forget"" you're even watching a movie. Well, this camera person didn't have that concept in mind. Not at all.

Some videographers & directors take big risks trying out unique camera shots, and for some films their experiments work out. But it many others, they don't. And in this one, their unique camera style did not work.

And now going beyond the awful videography, I felt like the writing wasn't even that great. And ontop of that, I felt that the acting wasn't even that great. A real good movie has every cast member fitting a scene. A lot of the characters felt like actors. It felt cheap.

And besides the bad filming, poor-writing & sub-par acting, the movies whole storyline seems to glorify criminal drug-runners & make them look like a bunch of fun cool guys. In reality, that's not the case. The big cocaine dealers are hard criminals.

And furthermore, while the movie doesn't officially state that the CIA themselves were smuggling cocaine, it's clear they were. And for someone spin that as a good thing; pumping hard life-ruining narcotics into neighborhoods that otherwise would have been void of drugs, is absurd. Doesn't matter if they are ""funding anti-communist matters"". Not only would such tactics be ultimately irrelevant to US taxpayers interests, it in effect destroys US communities.

All around I found this film to be poorly produced & a dismal portrayal of any sort of realism. It's just a big Hollywood cool-guy party where are the characters are hip sunglass wearing party animals having fun swimming in money & enjoy life! There's no realism in the characters; it's absurd.

After one painful hour I left the theater.

I read one reviewer saying ""this is Tom Cruise's best film!""

Wow. Obviously their film criticism has no value.

To rate this film alongside Mission Impossible films, Jack Reacher, Edge of Tomorrow, War of Worlds & Oblivion is totally absurd.

Sadly I'd put this film in the same basket as ""The Mummy"".",2
"After a long time, movie with good story line, direction and screenplay. No need to mention about cast and their roles especially pankaj and Rao",8
"Southpaw is quite well acted and directed. I have no idea if the boxing is true to life, but the action is okay, so no complaints there.

It's the rest of the story that's so absurd. The light heavyweight champ of the world, who'd be worth tens of millions is reduced to penury minutes after his wife dies.

That wouldn't be so bad, although still utterly implausible, if Hope had been completely surrounded by crooks and charlatans. However, the main character in his life is his wife, who's portrayed as having an intense interest in his affairs and as being a paragon of responsibility. It simply doesn't make sense that she would not have saved some of that money. Indeed, the script clearly suggests they had plenty of money as the wife was urging him to quit fighting so they could enjoy their wealth before he became permanently injured.

I don't think social services operate in the way depicted in the film. Hope is not abusive towards his daughter, it seems cruel and unusual to separate a child from her father after her mother has been killed. Yet, those same social services are portrayed as being wise and kind. It was just there to thicken the fatuous plot.

I quite enjoyed the movie.",4
Left me beyond my imagination. Tom Huddleston Did an amazing job 10/10 I would recommend for anyone to watch fans or not of the series.,6
"As someone who has never played the game this show is based on, I can only rate it on the quality of the show itself. Unlike many who seem to have decided it was worthy of a 9 or 10 before they'd even seen it, I'm updating my review (down to a 5 from a 6) after 8.5 episodes (the point I decided to quit watching). To say this series is completely underwhelming would be an understatement. The first 20 minutes of the first episode were great, setting the scene for the unfolding pandemic. Everything after this, besides episode 5 which was the only noteworthy episode (definitely worth a 9/10) is by the numbers, slow paced, seen it all before but done better. Bella Ramsey's character Ellie, was instantly and continues to be dislikeable, with no redeeming features. Pedro Pascal as Joel is excellent but he is the only positive in this achingly tedious show. In episode 4 we were introduced to Kathleen played by the totally miscast Melanie Lynskey. The person responsible for casting in this show is clearly a poor judge of character. Even the action scenes are lacking tension or excitement. I stuck with it hoping for another episode as good as the fifth, but alas the next 3 episodes have left me bored stiff. So I'm I'm baffled by the high scores and positive reviews given to this show.",5
"Just that this movie was American says a lot doesn't it. Even if there was someone in this production that actually were Jewish. I still don't think they have the right to joke on millions of affecteds' behalf. To create this garbage film, about those atrocious events that happened to so many people, to make it a comedy! Come on. I feel that people who like this are not so intelligent, self centered, first world, that ain't really understanding war. It ain't right. Children should never takes these events in any comedic way. There is so much to take lightly and make fun of. But not the memory and graves of six million Jews and so many more millions of nations that participated in the war.",1

"Season 1 is fantastic. Season 2 nearly ruined the show for me. Season 3 was phenomenal!

Now for Season 4 - bleh! Great visuals and it's good, but not that great! Actually pretty cheesy. It had so much potential but was just drawn out and overall not very captivating or thrilling. This season imo falls way short of 1 or 3 but is slightly more entertaining than 2 which was a disaster.

Will I watch season 5? Yes, hoping it is as good as or better than 1 or 3.",7
"I loved the season 1 & 2, it was unique, fun, exciting, amazing & perfect CGI! After a long long wait, the disappointing 3rd season arrived. It bored me in the first 10 minutes of the first episode, a little emotional drama is understandable, but the whole 3rd season is crying. Fgs it's a sci-fi show. I hope I'll find a new & interesting sci-fi show soon.",6
"I was not a fan of this movie. I guess I just like more action. I was not able to connect with the characters in the movie and I was surprised at the lack of events between them. i love Bill Murray but I don't think this was one of his best works. The girl was good and I can see her taking on roles that would be more likable in the future because her depression was believable... she made me depressed!!!! I was told by some friends that I didn't have a romantic bone in my body just because I hated this film. I don't think that is true at all... to me there was not much romance in this film at all. A friendship yes... and a connection, but no romance. Hopefully other people enjoyed this more than I did. I just wanted to turn it off.",2
High reviews had their 10 rating planted into their head that this was actually a good movie. Since i had't much sleep in the last few days..... I saw this movie for what it actually is. Completely noisy trash that contained slow motion special effects as its only redeeming quality.,1
"This is what took 13 years to make? Seriously? Who directed this like a videogame and overly sped-up action scenes-horny teenager and where have they buried the real James Cameron? I will definitely not go back to the theater for any more Avatar movies after this fiasco, I will wait for them to stream or not watch them at all. I didn't even feel the 3D as much this time either, it was a fairly flat movie with a few moments of 3D when projectiles were flying at me or particles floating in front of the image. No more proper pacing, no more slowing down some scenes to create actual awe and wonder, everything is fast-paced like it's made by a complete maniac. What a let-down, wow. It's not even a ""visual spectacle"" this time because all the plants and animals look like plastic figurines in a videogame's cutscenes (which is only made even more obvious and jarring if you see it in HFR), so it failed even at its most basic task. And as many have said, the writing is also bottom of the barrel stuff, again like the ""script"" for your average videogame between-missions cinematics. Considering this and the Dark Fate fiasco I'm starting to believe James Cameron is actually dead and has been replaced by a lookalike just to keep the marketing going.",3
"This series has maintained its performance, but has evolved for the better. It is also wonderful in terms of story, photography, directing, and the characters we grew up with had a role in my love for this series.",8
"With DC pumping out garbage (With a few exceptions) and Marvel having just finished off their incredible third phase. Superheroes are more relevant now than ever. The Boys takes heroes, and makes them realistic while still feeling like a comic book show. In making Superheroes selfish celebrities, you make for an entertaining show with many disturbing themes. The show through all its edge and grit, is funny however. The biggest strength of the show besides it's acting is it's script, so many great lines are in each episode. The Boys is definitely worth watching if you're interested in a new take on Superheroes.",9

"Having fond childhood memories of old pirate movies and stories, I was really looking forward to watch this one. I certainly didn't expect some brain challenging epic, but good entertainment. I was disappointed.

Many things may be said of old, classic movies, but one thing is certain, they generally had good scripts. What has happened to good Hollywood scriptwriters? Don't they exist anymore or are they all working for TV at HBO? This film has a potentially good story and a completely pathetic script that results in a plot that most of the time makes no sense whatsoever, with bad dialogue lines, and awkward twists trying to disguise as ""complex turns"". Simple bad writing.

At least they got someone witty to write Captain Jack Sparrow's lines. Without doubt, the one outstanding thing about this movie is Johny Deep's character and his rendition of it. It is very funny and thoroughly enjoyable. Depending how you look at it, Deep's performance is either wasted in this movie, or saves it.",3
"I'm sorry Adam. I took a chance and watching this movie. First I don't like movies with bad endings. Secondly I have always admired Adam Sandler's silly comedy. He was very good in this movie, but I was so sick that it ended the way it did. There was so much talking it gave me a headache. I never want to see Adam Sandler in another movie like this again.",5
"Although critical exploit the fact classic big-screen TV, with typical ""If...?"" or common ""What happened before...?"" This series has caught me by surprise. Although the character of Will Graham is far from created by Edward Norton in Red Dragon. This is a much more fragile and fickle character . It is perhaps the only thing I did not just fit in the series , but you may also try their own evolution once met the cannibal. Another thing I did not expect is that Crawford was black . Anyway, Lawrence Fishbourne is a great actor and also complies neither comes to hair that inquisitive look that usually always put. Arrived at Lecter ... you had to be a real headache for the casting director to find a credible Lecter after Anthony Hopkins. This Hannibal is more threatening, less charming and seems to be more twisted, which I like, but one of the great attractions of Hopkins was certainly raise that Really is this man so dark? And then you put those eyes and said ... Yes, it is ... With this already suspected from the beginning, but I must admit I have fallen well. The resources that are used to enter the mind of Graham by reference to their ability to breading with murderers is pretty gimmicky, but maybe I can become tiresome if they abuse them just a little. And the story seems good.",10
"This movie was funny, but definitely overrated. It was basically the same plot as just about every sex-charged buddy movie that's been made in the past fifteen or so years. There was Trojan War, Booty Call, Harold and Kumar, so forth and so on...same plot every time. It's the (end of the week/end of high school/end of college/night before a big high school or collage party) two (dimwitted/stoner/horny/socially inept) friends have a big opportunity to (get laid by the girls of their dreams/get a good meal to satisfy the munchies/get weed). All they have to do is (show up at the party/take a trip to the restaurant/get the weed, booze, or condoms). However, their plan is foiled by a (third wheel friend/forgetting to bring money or something important/teasing women/a desperate criminal/a car breaking down). Undeterred, the two friends vow to complete their mission, all the while dodging (horny women with dangerous boyfriends/a group of bullies/more criminals/wild animals/the police).

Yes, there were a lot of funny scenes and lines in this movie. I did laugh out loud many times. However, this was anything but the funniest movie I've ever seen, especially when compared to classics like Caddyshack, Night Shift, Blazing Saddles, Airplane! and the like. For it's genre (low-brow, teen raunch-fest) it was one of the better ones I've seen.",6
"During the events of Avengers: Endgame, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) in 2012 seizes an opportunity to escape using the Tesseract, but shortly thereafter is arrested by temporal beings from the Time Variance Authority (TVA) tasked with eliminating branches of the timeline that weren't supposed to exist. While initially sentenced to erasure from the time stream, TVA analyst Mobius (Owen Wilson) stays Loki's erasure to use his help in tracking another variant of Loki who is running amok throughout the time stream.

While the character of Loki was killed in Avengers: Infinity War, Marvel had announced plans to do a shortform series following the character which went a few revisions. While Hiddleston's cameo in Endgame had not initially been planned as part of the setup to the Loki series, it turned out to be a fortunate opportunity for both the writers and Hiddleston himself to take the character on a different avenue from the one presented in the mainline Loki. The series continued the strong trend of Disney+ Marvel shows earning both critical acclaim and strong viewership and is not only a strong series in its own right, but also a standout entry in the MCU.

Much like with Wandavision, Loki understands what makes a compelling mystery as the show uses the bureaucratic labyrinth of the TVA as both a source of humor as well as mystery with Loki's dives through the corridors of time and seemingly endless records of the TVA make for some engaging setpieces throughout the show. Owen Wilson is in top form as Mobius and plays off nicely against Hiddleston and the series does a deep dive into Loki's character that gives some solid insights into what makes him tick as well as his more human and vulnerable sides. Much like Wandavision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier the series does foreshadow developments in the MCU timeline, but unlike The Falcon and the Winter Soldier which felt like it was stretched in too many directions, Loki feels like it has a more solid centralized focus so the series still feels like a satisfying watch in spite of that point.

Loki is a really entertaining series and gives us a unique take on Loki that takes the character to some unique places both literally and figuratively. Highly recommended.",9
"Practical drama with full Purvanchal tadka, make us feels, that we all are part of some character.. But 2 points I deducted for lack of comedy and suspense.. Season 1 was better, I request from its maker, please add more comedy for next season.",8
"A poor movie which rushes through its simple story with overly familiar themes and apart from the post-credit scene, has no surprises. A lot of the numerous jokes fall flat, the switching between emotional drama and comedy is jarring and the lack of gore and gratuitous violence in the action scenes makes it very tame to watch. The creature effects looked great, but the final fight between the 2 monsters was underwhelming with a lot of the backgrounds being blurry. The acting was ok, but I was mostly bored by it.",3
"I've read the books in the series a number of times now and eagerly awaited every new instalment of the show. Although there where slight changes to help it translate to tv they stayed true to the books. I loved every minute and enjoyed the journey with Dianna and Matthew, I'd totally recommend it for fans of the supernatural and of history.",10
"Guru is one of the best movies that came out of Bollywood in the recent years. The acting is superb and Abishek excels all his previous performances with his sensitive portrayal of Gurukant Desai, proving that he is indeed a talented and a versatile actor. Aishwarya's stellar performance completes the picture as Guru's devoted and loving wife, enriching the plot. It's a classic rag to riches story, intelligently done and true to real life. It's a must see for Bollywood fans.

However, there is a major problem with the DVD Release. Although it states that it's ""all regions"" on the cover, including ""NTSC"", it does not work on regular DVD players. Only the second disk with ""Special Features"" works. Unless you have a free range, code free DVD Player you're out of luck. I had to invest into one, following the advice of the DVD seller, but to no avail. Picture quality left a lot to be desired and sound was disappointing at best. Which is a shame for it's a great movie and it should be seen at its best.",9
"Just to be clear - I don't like superhero movies. The only reason I went out and watched this one was because of Zachary Levi whom I loved since his time on ""Less than perfect"" so I just wanted to check out how he was doing. Not so good I guess otherwise he wouldn't be getting into this movie. Shazam! is one big cliche with nothing even remotely meaningful inside: the main protagonist who doesn't know what he really wants even if it's right in front of his eyes, the antagonist who got into antagonry because of his antagonistic past with the family of antagonists, all those family matters issues, what is not important, what is, who cares about whom and really who cares? The actual main antagonist of this movie is a person who wrote the script to it - one simple thought that is given away in the beginning of the movie and that's it. After that there's only special effects, a couple of jokes, super boring fight scenes and nothing more. Zachary's performance is ok at best considering he's playing a teenager. Jack Dylan Grazer is a rising star whose greater days lie ahead, not here; as a sidekick he is great though. Mark Strong is weak and his villain is below average. Special effects are fine and why shouldn't they be actually? The reason I don't like comic book adaptations is because they're one dimensional and flat like its pages. It's a book with pictures and occasional lines so that we understand the concept but silent movies has more concept than this piece of garbage.",5

Wow...just can't figure this out. It will bear another watching, but we (and we are VERY MUCH movie lovers and armchair experts) cannot figure out why this is getting so much praise. An episode of Generation Kill was better than this. The story wasn't that interesting, the main character was underdeveloped (Just didn't care one way or the other about his motivations) the movie seemed just episodic (although they had tried to create ""drama"" with the running tally of how many days left...oooohhhhh...something BAD is going to happen! ooooo) Just didn't feel it.

"I watched it without any expectations but even then I felt that bad director effect that in my opinion had fantastically ruined the 5 harry potter movies. Yes, we fans would accept and love everything that is thrown at us and the director and Warner bros knows it, hence they just makes a movie with paper thin characters with zero plot or character development, all-over-the-place story, and anti-climactic effects. But since we are a sucker for the universe, the characters, the whole magical world we will just smile and throw our money at them. David Yates is one of the most horrible director who knows how to ruin good franchises much like Zack Snyder or Ron Howard and the fact that he is being allowed to reprise his role as a director for another franchise is beyond me. The HP movies were saved because of talented skilled actors who knew what they were doing. Same would probably happen to this franchise since there are even bigger names attached like Johnny Depp and Jude law and also the potter heads fanaticism would do the rest. WB would get hits after hits while the director just rides on the success of his mediocre direction. oh, and lets not forget the special effects which were pretty spectacular and did like 90% of the job, the creatures or beasts are great but their importance to the original story is just so minimal that its ridiculous. Trust me,this movie would have banked in the box office if it didn't take place in the Harry potter universe or the name would be attached with Harry potter.",5
This movie could have been more epic but decided to be a comedy for majority of the film.,5
"I just wonder what big deal it is shooting a movie as long as 3 long hours when you do not have much of a story to tell. Do they sell tickets with higher prices when the movie is longer, forcing 2 and even more time of debauchery scenes on people? By doing so, they end up having a boringly slow-paced movie without telling anything. One gets tired of going over and over the same thing again and again, waiting for the original story to start which doesn't seem to come until after at least one and half hour through the movie. And when you start to think it is finally there, it doesn't take much time to realize that the same crap comes back after only some minutes of a real story. That's when you lose much of your hope and patience for the movie.

The whole story is about a man, Jordan Belford (Leonardo DiCaprio) with little to no moral values becoming rich by stock fraud defrauding people of their hard-won money. They could have comfortably told that the men and his crooks are people without moral values at most in 30 minutes. They could have used the other time displaying how he grew up dreaming becoming rich, what jobs he had had before either out of the stock market or in it, but before having his own business, how he started the the stock broker business, what lows and highs he had in the business, the response of and impact of big stock broker companies, their competition, maybe threats, partnership offers and especially how he had the attention of law enforcement agencies, his trial, his defense, the verdict on him, how his victims financially suffered because of their engagement with him, etc.. Real parts from Jordan's real life and/or some fiction added on it.

The thing is the producer and the director seems to not have really felt like having a story with many interesting parts developed over time and flowing with an acceptable pacing. They must have thought that people just would expect to watch a lot of debauchery and would get excited about that only. I think the not deserved high rating of the movie is because mostly people who are interested in this part voted for it here. Yet, the rating of a movie doesn't give you much of an idea whether you will like it or not. Because your liking is shaped according to your own interests, not others' even if the others are a large group of people.

The bad thing here is they didn't have to have this movie title and this movie topic which reminds people of the stock broker and finance businesses to shoot this. If they had got a relevant movie title and movie topic, only people who are interested in lots of debauchery and vulgar language would have watched it and so much less people would have spoken negatively on it. When you have a financial feeling in your movie title and movie topic, lots of more serious movie buffs who are interested in a serious and interesting story on the business world would go watch it. Plus, they wouldn't have minded some humor in it as long as it supports and pushes the original story development and enables you to have some fun as well.

Now as for my rating; not 1, but 3 for two reasons: 1. Energetic and convincing acting from main protagonists starting with Jordan and his inspirational speeches to his employees (ignoring that he is inspiring not for a respectful cause, but fraud. 2. Even though limited, the questioning of Jordan by law enforcement officials and interesting conversing between the two sides including the one in his yacht.

Spoiler for such a short scene from here (no general insight on how the story goes): I would like to touch down on one short scene which is interesting and which tells a lot about fraudsters' minds. In the scene; during the interaction between Jordan and one of his female employees, Jordan tells her he gave her an advance a few times more than she asked for when she first started the job, because he believed in her. There appears to be good chemistry between the two there and both seem moved. And Jordan then turns to his crowd of employees and tell them all that he also believes each and every one of them. All of them seem moved and become emotional. Watching this scene, I could not help but think that there might be people in this world who so do not mind their illegal activity of cheating people of billions of their hard-won money to the extent that they are able to pretend they are not really even aware that what they are proud of and moved for is really nothing other than cheating and deceiving people, enriching themselves with average people's hard-won money. They pretend and can even delude themselves that they are decent working people with moral values. More and more of such scenes which would make you think about different aspects of life and the business, finance world would have made the movie much more interesting.",3
Great first two episodes I guess. Some decent acting from very few people. Really really not good. Like really just don't. Ellen Page my god no.,7

Annoying characters Stupid story

Nominated for 11 Oscar's !

WTAF ?!

Gave me a migraine just watching it.

Good luck to everyone who enjoyed it, but this was definitely not my cup of tea.

First review I have ever written on this site in about 15 years of using it.

The film was that annoying that I had to write something.

The most worrying thing is how many people liked it !

Genuinely don't understand how this film is so highly regarded, it's baffling.

If or probably when it wins loads of awards I think I will cry.

"I give the series credit for doing a series about Chernobyl at all, in hope it will spur people to learn about the incident. It is just badly done. About 25 years ago, I read a U.S. Government report detailing the Chernobyl incident. If you've read government reports, you know the writing is dry, technical, and stiff. That report was far more interesting than this series. The show is badly directed and cut, showing slow action in slow motion; showing people pacing while the action occurs offscreen; etc. The show actually plays down the heroism of many of the plant workers and first responders, which came through clearly in the emotionless report detailing their actions. The report's raw content was enough to deliver a strong emotional impact that has stayed with me these decades. The series does the victims and the world a disservice.",3
"I am a big fan of Spiderman and loved the cartoons as a kid. When the first was made, everyone was worried whether it would butcher the original story. Luckily the first was a success, and good viewing.

But after viewing number two, in my opinion, this was a far better film than the original. The action was spot on and kept me hooked. The script was good, and a little surprising toward the end.

I thought every actor performed well throughout, and i personally preferred Molina's (i hope i spelt his name right!) acting as a villain, compared to Defoe's in the first. (Defoe did sometimes appear to power ranger enemy like from time to time).

I would say for all the films that have been based on Marvel and DC Comics, Spiderman two for me has now come into the few films that were brilliant (others i liked were Batman 1 and 2, Blade, and Superman). Getting Stan Lee involved is another bonus to keep the original Spiderman legacy alive, and Spiderman 2 was an excellent watch.

Would recommend this to any true Spiderman fan, and a definite DVD in my collection. A great sequel, and well deserved in the top 250 list.

9/10",9
"The show has a lot of spectacle and the fight scenes are choreographed well. The acting from the main cast is also good, even though some of the lines are delivered awkwardly.

Another thing the show does well is its set design and its costume designs (except for the Nilfgaard armor).

But that is as far as the complements go.

The tone and the narrative of the show fails as the stories it tries to tell are disjointed and possibly confusing for anyone that hasn't read the books. This is compounded by the bizarre decisions to omit certain stories from the books that are essential for the ending of Season 1 to make any sense. Many of the characters' motivations are rarely clear and it sometimes gets hard to care about them.

The shows aim to be a spectacle with its well choreographed fights and battle scenes, but it lacks any focus on the main characters. And certain side characters even have the opposite motivations from what they were in the books.

The CG is also inconsistent, with it being decent in some episodes but then laughable in others, like the Dragon, which was likely intentionally set in a dimly lit cave instead of in the open as was in the books.

The Direction was bad, but the writing was even worse and laughable in certain scenes. It lacked any subtlety with the word ""destiny"" being thrown around every episode.",5

"The journey of a home life from Wanda Maximoff and Vision who have two twins, Billy and Tommy in Westview City with the appearance of a sitcom of various eras.

Season 1: WandaVision is a unique series and has a great visual with 9 episodes. Featuring several episodes combined with sitcom stories ranging from the era of black-and-white shows to color with a comedic feel that followed the era. WandaVision became an entertaining and moving series. The premise of the story is interesting by bringing the happy life of Wanda and Vision wrapped in comedy from black-and-white shows. A good, strong conflict. Wanda's personal conflicts that are able to be emotionally draining, moving and sad. Dense conflict in each episode. Each episode is capable of providing good mysteries and puzzles. The WandaVision series deserves appreciation, especially in terms of visuals. It is somewhat lacking in the story but still entertaining.",9

"Tony Stark's past comes back to destroy him in Iron Man 3. When a terrorist known as The Mandarin emerges and almost kills Stark's ex-bodyguard in a bombing, Tony swears to get vengeance by killing The Mandarin himself. This time Tony Stark's ego might have lead him to go too far as his actions put more than just his own life in jeopardy.

Iron Man was a surprise hit and one of the three best super-hero films next to Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins and Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2. It began introducing us to Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, a role he seemed born to play. Like in all super-hero films, it had some far-fetched ideas yet it was able to keep a level of believability due to some key ingredients that more of these films need to be using in order to keep from embarrassing themselves. The first ingredient was to not just explain but to show how the technology worked, like in Batman Begins. The other key ingredient was to keep a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor, making everything light and fun, never taking itself too seriously. Some great laugh-out-loud moments were provided thanks to Robert Downey, Jr. in his performance. Add a twisted villain and an adrenaline-fueled hard rock soundtrack and you've got a lovable super-hero that balances comedy with explosive action.

While Iron Man 2 made the mistake of under-using what could have been better villains with Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell, the few action scenes there were showed Jon Favreau had become a master at directing edge-of-your-seat sequences. And while it was held back with a subplot setting up The Avengers, it contained some cleverly written, witty dialogue that delivered the same humor that made the first one so much fun.

Iron Man 3 takes a storyline from the Extremis mini-series with a new director, Shane Black. The first sign that Black was taking Iron Man in the wrong direction was the use of the most over-played song of 1999 and what could be considered one of the most annoying excuses for music of all time. Forget classic rock themes from AC/DC or Audioslave, this time we are burdened with having to be reminded of the worse thing that came out of 1999, Blue (Da Ba Dee) by Eiffel 65. Some things should be left in the past, buried in shame and hopefully forgotten, never be played or heard again for the rest of our lives.

Music aside, there's an unnecessary voice-over and the witty dialogue we've come to expect has been replaced with slapstick comedy. This includes Tony being hit in the groin with a piece of his new prototype suit, which is left unexplained as to how it is suppose to work, and toilet humor involving the villain. Guy Peace is a good choice for a new bad guy behind the Extremis technology, yet this is also left unexplained as to how it works or what it's purpose is. Ben Kingsley is a great addition but the film is as guilty as the last sequel with under-using such a great actor.

Iron Man 3 suffers from trying to do too much. In the beginning it seems Shane Black wants to make a serious character study of Tony Stark, this could have proved interesting but then, as the film moves forward, it is clear he is also trying to appease the younger fans of The Avengers with out-of-place, cartoon antics including a fire-breathing villain. All believability is thrown out the window causing any excitement or suspense to be lost. What made Iron Man work so well was it didn't take itself too seriously, as this one does. The fun is lost.",3
"Good film, but tiring of the Marvel characters - did not see Avengers. Many interesting side characters make an appearance this time around. Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) plays more of a prominent role as the leader of S. H. I. E. L. D. Scarlett Johansson has great screen presence as Natalie Rushman (aka. Black Widow)-she holds herself pretty well in a great martial arts scene. Don Cheadle has replaced Terrance Howard as Lt. Col. ""Rhodey"" and gets to play a more prominent role as an Iron Man suit-armored partner to Tony. This film, unlike the first film, tends to lean towards the idea of teamwork more. (Perhaps they're just prepping us for an Avenger film?) Mickie Rourke is engaging on screen as the Russian physicist villain Ivan, which he plays with dark relish. Although his technology-glowing, electrically charged whips-isn't anything new, he is always fun to watch. Likewise, Sam Rockwell is great as usual as a villain, the wisecracking Justin Hammer.

At the very least it's mildly entertaining and I like Robert Downey, Jr and his support of Make A Wish - it's the only reason I watched this.

The plot simply continues on from the last film, after people have found out the true identity of Iron Man. While it's nothing too complex, the progression of the story is logical--it would surely bring some enemies out of the woodwork if they knew who he was. The film's pacing isn't as zippy as the first film, where something always seems to be happening, and some audiences may be disappointed as a result.",7
"Got curious because of all the high ratings here, even though I am not a big fan of the Batman series. Honestly, I really do not understand all the fuss and hype about this movie. Characters are shallow, story is practically absent and acting is mediocre at best. Action scenes are okay, but any James Bond or MI movie outclasses the action scenes.",5
"The movie has preserved the high standard of narration from the previous one, telling a beautiful and simple yet intriguing story with clever little details sprinkled throughout that made it more enjoyable. Yet when it comes to the reveal, the movie did not feel like layers of an onion peeling off one by one to reach its core, but instead like an arrow being shot straight at the centre of the onion and we suddenly land there where everything just happens and miraculously yet unsatisfyingly falls into place. Despite this, this movie is able to nail its ending in a satisfying way without feeling cliché.",7
This movie was made for me. I'm the guy who liked the first Venom and also Bloodshot just because they were purely entertaining and nothing else. This movie is not exception and in fact it's better than the other 2 mentioned. It's big fight at the end looked really cool and the movie had a lot of funny dialogue. Venom was never annoying to me and Woody was a great Carnage.,9
I didn't even want to watch the second episode of the second season. Most of the first episode was completely irrelevant... Who ever decided the plot was an idiot.,1
"Loki is a Marvel show that was extremely popular when it came out, I remember it started with a rating in the 9's and it's really underrated, I found myself drawn to it all the time and I really enjoy this show

Tom Hiddleston is a masterful actor and gives his all here, Owen Wilson is perfect for the MCU and the show explores fun multi dimensional things along with never being too confusing, it takes a more serious look at Loki's backstory and what actually happened.

The art direction is great and the actor for Sylvie did a great job, but here's the negative thing I have about it.

The final episode is terrible, it serves as an extremely weak finale to an exceptional first 5 episodes, there was so much build up but so little execution.

Nonetheless I really like Loki, and I'm gonna give it an A-",8
"I can understand the effect of giving the audience the feeling of being there by manipulating the camera to shake and move as if it's a cameraman at a war zone but the excessive jitters, quick zoom in and out, thrashing all over made me feel sick, literally. I had to watch this movie in several sittings and limited segments because I was nauseated, felt very sick to the point that my eyes were hurting, having headaches. It was just too much. The only reason I persisted to keep watching until the end was mainly because the number of awards. Clearly I am wrong in my judgement of this movie when it has won so many awards.

Taking aside my discomfort in watching it, I came away still not sure why it garnered so many awards. I can sort of understand that this movie tries to convey what the war in Iraq was about, to give a perspective of the soldiers' feelings. However, it didn't give me much of a perspective of the Iraqis. There are just there a props to fulfill a narrative that they are dangerous and the Americans are there. I don't see the reasoning why they are there. They aren't really having a relationship with the locals aside from buying things from the local vendors that sell DVDs, etc. This is a pretty shallow movie in my view. Rather than making a movie like this one, perhaps they could have presented in more effectively in flashbacks with James dealing with life back home and flashing back to the various bomb deactivation missions he did so as to provide a stark comparison between life back home and in war. This movie could have been much better but instead falls flat.

If the movie was trying to make the audience feel for the characters, America's reasoning in its occupation of Iraq, unfortunately I didn't come away with that at all. I've watched many war movies and I enjoyed a lot of them but this one was in my view, just a waste of time. Even taking away the discomfort of the jittery camera shots and just reviewing the movie based on the plot, it was a huge disappointment for me.",4
The movie isn't that bad. It's just boring as hell. Nothing happens. There's no plot. If Margot Robbie isn't in this movie it wouldn't make any difference.... Brad and Leo are great as individuals but that's it. Not one of Tarantino's finest moments. Stay away,4
"The car chase at the very beginning is just too long and so tiresome to watch. The mindless car chase in a city of Italy is very ridiculous and inhumanly to watch. Crash after crash, pedestrians died meaninglessly, so many things along the way ruined and destroyed. It seems to me that the Hollywood movie makers hated Rome, hated Italy so much that they just wanted to use CGI special effects to abuse the city with extreme prejudice. We've already seen such mess in Savage (2012), The Fast and The Furious franchise, Taxi 1-4 franchise made by the French, Dobermann (1997), on and on, I can name a few more. But none of them was as messy and boring like what I just watched in the runaway-train like long and boring car chase of 6 Underground (2019). When the chase ended miraculously, the survivors sat on the deck of a boat, I have already lost the appetite to watch it. MY eyes and brain were both spin and felt dizzy. The crazy screenplay, the directing, the editing, the acting of all the involved, are just mindless and meaningless. This movie is one of the messiest ones I've ever encountered.",1
"""WandaVision"" is a 2021 television series created by Jac Schaeffer and directed by Matt Shakman, starring Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany as Wanda Maximoff (aka Scarlet Witch) and Vision, respectively. The series takes place after the events of ""Avengers: Endgame"" and follows Wanda and Vision as they live a seemingly perfect suburban life in the town of Westview. However, as the series progresses, it becomes clear that all is not as it seems.

One of the strengths of ""WandaVision"" is its unique format. The series pays homage to classic sitcoms, with each episode taking place in a different decade and featuring a different sitcom style. This approach could have easily felt gimmicky or forced, but instead, it serves as a clever way to explore Wanda and Vision's character development.

Olsen and Bettany both deliver strong performances, with Olsen in particular showcasing a range of emotions as Wanda struggles with her grief and trauma. The supporting cast is also excellent, with standout performances from Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau, Kathryn Hahn as Agatha Harkness, and Randall Park as Jimmy Woo.

As the series progresses, it becomes clear that there is more going on than just a simple sitcom homage. The series delves into complex themes such as grief, trauma, and the power of imagination. It is a testament to the writers and directors that they are able to tackle these weighty topics in a way that feels organic and never preachy.

The series also features some impressive visual effects and cinematography. The use of practical effects and old-school visual trickery adds to the charm of the sitcom homages, while the more surreal and unsettling moments are beautifully shot and edited.

While ""WandaVision"" is an excellent series overall, it is not without its flaws. The series' pacing can be a bit slow at times, and some of the early episodes feel more like a novelty than a fully fleshed-out story. Additionally, the series' finale has been criticized for feeling rushed and not fully delivering on some of the plot threads that were set up earlier in the series.

Despite these criticisms, ""WandaVision"" is a standout entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and a unique and engaging television series. The series' format, strong performances, and exploration of complex themes make it a must-watch for fans of the MCU and anyone looking for something a bit different in their television viewing.",6
"This movie sucks, period. That is all i have to say.",2
"You should definitely give it a try this series is so crazy with nudity,crazy voilence,and rough words This series shows the true face of superheros unlike marvel .

My favourite character is butcher He is handsome and can go off its limits .

Go watch it now but below 15 please don't .",8
I really enjoyed the first season. I really cried and watched it four times. I loved the storyline even though there are shown some really hard stuff to handle. I recommend to everyone who's watching the show to also watch the 'beyond the reasons'. There are many things explained and it kinda takes your shock from the things that are happening there. The story includes very important topics and for some people it might be dramatic and traumatizing. It really is important to talk about these topics that are shown there really good with excellent acting. but if I'm really honest...season 2 kind of killed my euphoria about the series because what is shown there reduced my understanding for Hannah's decision to take her own life. I don't want to show any details because I don't want to spoil. but season 2 was very good too tho! it perfectly shows with excellent acting the life from the people you care about after suicide.,8
"The original Fantastic Beasts was exactly that...fantastic. This just does not compare. At all. There was no sense of wonder, amazement or excitement throughout. Depp/Grindewald were overwhelmingly underused. Newt was not as quirky or funny. The other characters from the prequel were just nowhere near as good. I went in with such high hopes but was mainly bored from start to finish",5
"Visually, CGI stunning; plot wise, wakey-wokey. Overly long by a full hour; pretentious in setting. As with most if not all sequels, the original was better, but that isn't saying much as the first version was just like this; ""second verse, same as the first"". If you saw the first version, then you've already seen everything you need to know about this one. Yes, I'm repeating myself as there isn't any reason to go see this one, much less for it to even exist. If you want to sleep for three hours in a comfy chair, stay home where you can get your own snacks without having to pay an arm and a leg. Have I made my self clear; AVOID LIKE THE COVID PLAGUE.",2
The performance of the butcher and homelander characters are mind blowing.,9

"How are some people able to walk around outside with their eyes open but they are not suicidal ?

At 1 Hour 37 Minutes in the film, Tom (Malorie's Black Boyfriend) goes outside to fight the baddies who are all open-eyed and not killing themselves or seem unhinged in any way whatsoever except one says ""Its a beautiful thing"". So does just saying ""Its a beautiful thing"" make you protected from the evil thing.

But then after opening his eyes for less than a minute, Tom kills himself.

Why is he not allowed to open his eyes like the baddies ? It makes no sense at all.

It's a shame because I really enjoyed the rest of the film.",7
"hate to go all ""emperor-has-no-clothesâ€? here but I'm not understanding how this is regarded as one of the best movies of 2008. It is certainly a good movie â€"" the 2 ½ hour running time goes by imperceptibly due to the steady, rapid pace. The special effects are remarkable particularly the ""Two-Faceâ€? CGI on Aaron Eckhart. Obviously, the cast features three generations of greater actors (including the tragically deceased Heath Ledger). I guess my issues are largely around the plot. Batman (be it Christian Bale, George Clooney or Michael Keaton) is just not an endearing enough character for me to really care whether he defeats The Joker or not. Also, how does The Joker recruit henchmen when he kills them all at the end of his capers? Don't henchman talk? Or at least notice when their numbers start to dwindle? Also maybe I missed it but Two-Face knew The Joker was ultimately behind the killing of Rachel Dawes, why did he effectively join up with him near the end of the movie? I guess this movie will be like ""No Country for Old Menâ€? was for me last year, I didn't understand why people loved that thing either.",6
"NO idea why this is being rated so highly, and voted scariest movie. It is unadulterated drivel.",3
"The best jokes/parts of the movie were all in the previews, literally.

I was so close to just walking out of the movie. And walking out of movies is very rare for me.

I'm not a pro on English accents, but Downey's accent didn't sound too natural to me(because it wasn't), as if he was struggling just to say his lines. And yes, I'm a fan of his other movies.

I don't know what movie everyone was watching but it was dull, boring, and had no real purpose. If it came out in 1994, maybe it would've been interesting, because the storyline wouldn't have been done to death yet.",3

"If you go into this show expecting anything like the movies, you are going to be gravely disappointed. Right now it's at about a 5 out of 10. I thought the pilot was at times kind of a snore fest. The writing at times was juvenile at best. I expected so much more from this show, with all the hype and all. I hope it improves in the coming weeks, or it might be taken off my dvr. The pacing of the show somehow needs to be changed. I like the lead actor a lot, and was glad to see him carry his role over to the show. Maybe the wow factor is yet to come. Things need to be explained a bit better as well. I'm sure they can get it right. with so much to watch on TV will there be enough time to do just that.",5
"""Avatar: The Last Airbender"" is one of the best Animated TV shows, if not THE BEST ever aired. The characters are all great, The plot is simple and interesting, The villains are amazing and the Worldbuilding is phenomenal. The show is fun enough to keep younger audiences entertained while the characters are enough for Older audiences to remain interested. Great show would highly recommend.",9
"This would have been great had Terrence Howard not asked for so much money and just done the part, Don C. is a good actor but if you want to maintain continuity than for the love of film making use the same actors, because the combo of Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow and the rest of the crew made a very strong foundation and that foundation got some holes shot in it when they brought back ""Roddy"" (Terrence Howard's original character) and replace him with a completely different actor!!! What the heck guys, you could have given him a different name/title/rank something, but making the same character and having him played by two different actors is just wrong. Also the part of ""Justin Hammer"" was a bit much, but I think that was the whole point so we can let that one slide. Mickey Rourke made a great addition and the special effects were top shelf, definitely a good movie, but what keeps it from being a great movie and out-doing the first is the continuity which was ruined by one simple actor not willing to play ball. Who knows maybe there were other factors in the mix, but I stand by the point that you shouldn't have two difference actor's play the same character. Nuff said.",7
"I am hugely disappointed. All the warmth or the plot that circles around different characters of the story is all gone out the window. Everything is forced. The plot...doesn't hook you and it makes no sense. Even if we all know the outcome. And if the only thing you need to watch is the recap to get the story...then its really bad. Thats really bad.

I am, as you can read, very disappointed. And with all that money...they rush it? I can almost hear the executives saying...get it out! Work faster!.... With all that money it stills prove that you cant buy everything with cash. If you don't have an engaging red line to follow and getting people want to see more. Then you have failed. Doesn't matter how much money you poor into it. You still need heart and warmth about the characters and story. In my mind they made a big mistake here and tanked big.

That being said, all the things money can buy looks good though. Like the CGI's and the decor.",1
"Oh my god, what a stupid movie, they didn't succeed in anything, satire, criticism of society, this that, no point, very bad, I'm also sorry that I had to watch this actors through such a nonsensical performance.

This kind of unsuccessful mix of genres is also a problem, a comedy in which nothing is funny, a horror in which nothing is scary, a thriller in which there is no tension, a drama that, disguised as this kind of satire, loses its meaning. The photography isn't bad though, we have some pretty good shots of the kitchen work and the cheeseburger.

Really overrated rating for this movie.",2

This movie honestly does not deserve 6.7 like coming guys atleast it should in 4s or 5s. Honestly pleople only liked it because Henry and Sam and ESPECIALLY Millie was I this video also Helena bonham. This movie has some of the best actors and actresses In it but omg tge plot is hella dry. .

"The characters in this movie sound fake and look cliche, just like the dialogues. The story could have been interesting but it ends up being hollow.

And yes, it's not perfect, because Script Writers could do a better job, but they didn't because of their Lack of Talent. And now I can only pray and hope for the 2nd decent enough season.",8

"As a fan of THE BOYS graphic novels, I found the first season of the Amazon TV series to be a fantastic adaptation. It struck a perfect balance, appealing to us long-time fans while also being welcoming to newcomers. The creators nailed it in terms of smart storytelling, stunning visuals, and especially in the depth they gave to the characters. However, as the series progressed, it seems they've lost a bit of that finesse. The adaptation of characters like Soldier Boy and storylines like Herogasm felt toned down, almost as if they were filtered through the worries of executives concerned about conservative audiences or international market sales. These parts of the show seemed a bit sanitized, lacking the raw edge that made the first season stand out. Don't get me wrong, the show is still a fun watch, but I can't help but miss that original energy and unapologetic boldness of the first season, especially when it seems the bravest moments mostly exist now for comic, not narrative or character, effect.",8

"The movie is really a dissapointment for me. Storyline is ok-ish, there are some really intersting plots, but overall feeling is that it doesn't have what makes it a great movie.

Space scenes look like these were filmed in 70's, acting is below average, and lastly: far too much oversimplification of space travel. It's logic just looks silly.",3

"Boston in the early 90s is the world and it takes you to that very era in art direction, fashion, cars, politics, etc. They all lend character to this series. Kevin Bacon takes it all in his stride to add that final coup de grace with his portrayal of Jackie Rorh. Television entertainment has now surpassed stand alone films because every week we the audiences get a continuation dose of a weekly film. All threaded through episodes we watch a prolonged film. The plots are well structured and characters more relatable although very dark it hinges on themes of morality, good versus bad but REDEMPTION is the stand out theme. My verdict is THUMBS UP!",7
"Unfortunately, I have to admit that I am disappointed with this version. It looks fantastic, but that's all. Of course we know the story but I did not expect the characters to miss so much soul. The characters are rendered in 3D but never felt so flat. The music of the original fit perfectly on all fronts, and now ... Even 'the circle of life' has become soulless. I cannot give more than 4 points, just for effort",4
"This was Disney's chance to finally do something in the tone of the Netflix series but what we got here is just the same old MCU which is now getting tiresome.

Mundane villain bland set pieces and sanitised, these Disney+ series have been a real let down!",2
"I had great fun in the beginning of the series. The morbid humor was ""Addams family""-like, the world was intriguing, and the characters were well casted, especially Jenna Ortega as Wednesday. Only Gomez Addams seemed a bit off. However, the last episodes were a dissapointment. The ""great finale"" was full of illogical behaviour, that should have killed Wednesday at least five times and predictably boring. It was unoriginal to the point where it seemed like a Harry Potter knock off. Especially the black magic, that was going on at the and seemed highly unfitting. The series surely has a lot of good reviews because a lot of scenes look great for standing for themselves, but if you are looking for an original story, that will keep you invested until the end, you are wrong here.",3
"I only watched this film due to a review of the 'must see' movies of 2018, I have to say I was disappointed. I think in many respects this was a missed opportunity to create something completely different in the Marvel pantheon. The initial premise of having mainly black actors and a strong female presence is laudable, but sadly I felt this became simply a token gesture. I think the cultural and political messages could have been much stronger and this would have created a far more absorbing and challenging storyline. Some other reviewers expressed disappointment in the fight scenes and poor cgi; this didn't bother me too much, but at times it felt very derivative and a regurgitation of set pieces from other films, and at times became all a bit Lord of the Rings. All in all, I felt the film lacked the depth and inventiveness that it promised and if it had been a bit more daring, could have added a new perspective to this genre.",3
"Okay, I may be biased because I'm a huge Iron Man film but I liked this movie a lot. It was different than the first Iron Man and really got me into the story. I liked the relationship that Tony Stark and Jarvis had in this film better than the first one. Not my favorite Iron Man film but I think they did great to help tell his stories.",8
"Actually i do not know what to think, the movie is normal and it cointatins not good performances, for me, the best was Martha, but the rest too much normal, mhmmm i guess i willonly watch this movie onece because my expectative were above than the movie, it is a normal movie, even more, it is not funny and the final part does nto contain surprise or a sort of inteligence, I did not like it",5
"Problem 1: The show is so desperate for worshiping Targeryans and the airhead shallow character Rhaenyra.

Problem 2: Rhaenyra turns out to be a low and cheap version of Daenerys, but doesn't have her charisma and her goal is pointless.

Problem 3: in the eagerness to highlight female character, almost all the men are portrayed as dumb, evil, idiots, except the ones who support the girls. You can highlight the girls without destroying the male characters, like GOT did, but the series chooses the other approach.

Problem 4: as a consequence of problem 3, the main members of the other houses are so poor characters. Everyone is reduced to a idiot and there will be always a unatural situations in which they will ""insult"" the overspoiled Rhaenyra. And they rarely show up on the episodes.

Who watched GOT 'cause likes the super intersting characters, many fun house leaders making big moves in the game, perfect dialogues that fits the context, many point of views with some good different reasons, charismatic men and women, you won't have it on HOTD. Any Targeryan there doesn't have 10% of the appeal of Danny or Meistre Aemon. But if you just want a girls centered history at any cost or just loves the Targeryans house in any circunstances, you'll probably like it.",1

"I randomly came across the opening scenes of this British thriller series, Bodyguard, several months ago. Maybe over a year ago. One of THE MOST exhilarating, thrilling, tense opening sequences for a tv show I've ever come across. One thing led to another and I couldn't watch it back, but i finally got around to it and wish I had watched it waaay back then.

8.1 IMDb, 93% RT, 95% on Google Reviews. The show aired on BBC in 2018 and became the most watched BBC Drama since 2008, with the finale (Ep #6) becoming the most watched since 2002.

As you can see, Richard Madden aka Robb Stark from Game of Thrones plays the lead, and boy, did he do an amazing job! After this show, you feel like GoT hardly gave him time to show what he can do. Oh, did I mention the first few minutes of the show? They were amazing! All of the supporting cast did an amazing job too! The casting director seems have been conscious about diversity, brownie points for that. The music was great too! Six episodes in total, this is one of those whodunit stories that you wished ran longer.",8

"Looking for a well-written, romantic comedy starring Bill Murray? That would be Groundhog Day, which I should have watched again (for the umpteenth time) instead of this. I was amazed at how often I found myself annoyed, looking at my watch and wondering when I was going to be genuinely amused and/or moved by these characters. Some scenes seemed to end before going anywhere while others went on too long while going nowhere. I kept waiting for a payoff that never came while enduring too many missed opportunities. The rating would have been higher if not for the added disappointment due to high expectations from Bill Murray and the endless critical praise heaped on this mediocre offering.",5
"I've spent 5 hours and it may not worth of your time. This is not a bad movie but I expect more when I see a movie in top 250 list.

Anyway this is a mafia movie in a specific area and it contains chronological background of 3 or 4 generations. Therefore movie has placed lots of different places and areas that took place. And because of that you may not get bored for length. But script has nothing original. I really don't know if characters are from real life or real events, but it doesn't matter movie should offer something more.

Again this is not a bad movie and movie makers give great effort for it but it is mostly relevant for India. Therefore it may not be worth of your time.",6
"The movie was OK for me, without Lady Gaga the movie would even be ""average"" and wouldn't have so many media attention / visitors I guess. Her performance is definitely outstanding and her voice can be quite powerful as could have been heard previously on her Tony Bennett collaboration. Probably the story should have been a little bit more elaborated, then I could have been a ""movie of the year"" candidate. The shots are nicely done, even the ""long"" shots seem not boring. I liked the ""on stage"" feeling you have with the sound that was nicely done. But I didn't like all these thousands lens flare during the movie. I'm glad I've seen the movie but it wasn't a memorable one.",5
"When the film ended, the 18-year old boys start to clap and whoop like they'd just had a religious experience. It reminded me of when I went to Swordfish in the theater years ago with a really hot but REALLY dumb blonde. When that movie ended, she clapped and whooped because she was SO SMART and got it. Unfortunately, there was no post-film alcohol or busty blonde to dull the pain of this evening's experience. In my opinion, Insomnia was Nolan's only good film, and it was really the performance by Pacino that grabbed me.

Nolan is a talented version of M. Night Shyamalan, i.e. the Kings of the Twist Ending. This is a pseudo compliment. I don't think Nolan is brilliant nor a great filmmaker. This movie didn't scream intelligence, though it really tries. In addition to making Nolan even more wealthy, I hope the side benefit of this film's success is studios taking on more high budget pet projects that aren't designed to sell happy meals or sequels. Please PLEASE let this be the side benefit to Inception.",1
"When this film came out in 1997, a Norwegian movie-critic wrote that ""This is the film that makes Quentin Tarantino look like an amateur!"". After I read that line, I felt that ""Fargo"" was either going to surprise me, or just make me mad. It didn't really do any of those things. And even though there was something original about it, it was clearly that it couldn't compete with Tarantino-masterpieces such as ""Pulp Fiction"" (1994) or ""Reservoir Dogs"" (1992). So I couldn't say that I liked it. But after this....the Coen-brothers came out with another film called ""The Big Lebowski"" (1998), which is among the best comedies I've ever seen, and has become one of my favorite films. So it was easier to watch ""Fargo"" for the second time. And after all...it is a pretty good film.

This film takes place in Minnesota, and we meet Jerry Lundegaard, who is a family-father who works at a car-firm. Jerry seems to have a bit of a money-problem, so he decides to rent someone to kidnap his wife, so that his rich father-in-law can pay the kidnappers AND (without knowing it, off course) Lundegaard a whole lot of money to free his wife. Lundegaard think this is a plan that's going to work without any problems, but as the kidnapping begins, so does the complications.

There's many reason to think of Quentin Tarantino when watching this film. It's a film where the characters and the dialogs are in focus, and over all it has elements that you don't find in the average American films...just like Tarantino's works. Quentin is known for borrowing (or stealing, as many prefer to say) from other films of different genres, then putting it together and blessing it with is own personality and originality. That's something the Coen-brothers also are doing.

When basing your film on characters, you need good actors. William Macy is doing very well in his role as the scatterbrained and pathetic Jerry Lundegaard. Steve Buscemi and Swedish actor Peter Stormare are memorable as the two kidnappers who are doing their part of messing the plan up. Frances McDormand, who received an Oscar Academy Award for her performance, plays the pregnant police-officer Marge, one of the most cosily persons I've ever seen on film...a very good performance. As for the rest of the cast, they're all doing pleasing jobs in their roles as all the funny characters you find in this film.

""Fargo"" is a thriller filled with a very black kind of humor, and that's probably what I like the most about it. As the story goes on and develops, it provides many intense and thrilling scenes and moments, also strong violence which tops itself during a famous and bizarre part of the film's ending. But at the same time, it has me laughing my way through it all. All the people and characters that shows up and the situations they're in are so absurd or ridiculous that I just can't stop laughing at times. Actually, the film as a whole is just peculiar enough to be appreciated by someone who wants to watch a crime-thriller which is a bit different, and has something extra to offer.

I have yet to see any of the films that's being regarded as the Coen-brothers' real masterpieces...""Miller's Crossing"" (1990) or ""Barton Fink"" (1991), but ""Fargo"" is definitely a film one shouldn't miss out on. It's thrilling, original, very funny and over all a quality film, though not a masterpiece as many wants to label it.

8.5 out of 10",8
"Decent concept/story. Relatable from an artistic position. Cinematographically ok.

Unsatisfying start. Some good scenes. And then quite a few parts where it just doesn't work, where the acting from the lead and some supporting actors (not all) and script are very stiff and unconvincing, thus disappointing.

Baffling and fristrating, really, as from the other scenes it's obvious most of the actors themselves are not bad actors. Perhaps the problem stems from poor directing/coaching. It was hard to watch at these times.

Lovely scene though between the main character and his brother towards the end.

Overall not too bad but could have been much better.",6
"Here's what I like about this one.

* It has humor.

* Has Karl Urban in it.

* Gives you an idea how Superheroes could be if they did not choose the ""goody two-shoes"" way.

What I dislike: * Having to wait each week for a new episode.

I thought I was done waiting by the week for a new episode of TV series after Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, TrueBlood and Ballers. Is it the end of the world? Probably not, but since this review is written during a pandemic ... kind of hard to binge watch at home when you got to wait 168 hours between episodes ...

That said, I really enjoyed the show, and look forward to seeing more Seasons to come.",9
Started off brilliantly and at a good pace but from episodes 5 to 9 is just dragged on. Get on with it. Writers seem to want to try to build up tension with nothing but the soundtrack and dimly lot forest and outhouse scenes instead of actual acting.,7
"Some things were super clever and made me laugh. Ryan Gosling's Ken was awesome..he was the best part. There were definitely elements I appreciated and I thought were thought provoking; however, it just felt so political and so forced. It was a huge social commentary which I think can be great but it wasn't seamlessly blended it, it was kinda obnoxious and redundant. Plot was sometimes boring and the storyline about real world meets fake world felt a little bit cliche! Certain moments were just too corny. Did I laugh though? Definitely. It had its moments. I agree with the High Highs and Low lows statements.",5
"I read Daredevil as a boy and loved it, especially when Electra was there. Now as an adult, the religious guilt theme doesn't really work for me, and It's way more dominant in the series than in the comics (where it's basically non existent) and I find it boring. For people who has been tormented by religious guilt in their upbringing, this might be a topic to relate to, but for me it's just a snooze fest. Please keep in mind that I have the same opinion on any religion based show since the rationale doesn't work for me. I love science fiction, but at least they put in the word fiction right. Gave up after the first season. I'd rather re-watch Deadpool 1&2 for the 7th time :)

All in all, it's not badly done in the same fashion as most of the Marvel series are being done, so if you like or don't mind the religious backdrop, this might be for you.",4
"2 September 2000

Fargo is a captivating thriller that has a straightforward story but it's effective because it catches the viewer's attention in it's artistic value. The performances are sublime, every character is interesting.

Steve Buscemi and Peter Storemare are great together and both play their roles perfectly. Frances McDormand won an oscar for her performance. William H. Macy makes you sympathise for his character because of how desperate and troubled he looks throughout the movie. The performances are top notch, the entire cast did a great job.

The cinematography is beautiful, the scenery is ominous and can feel quite claustrophobic. It seems as if the snow adds tension to the story and keeps these characters in a bubble of trouble. A place you can't escape from. Every shot feels precised and intricate as if it was meant to be this way.

The story caught my interest throughout it's entire runtime. The movie creates tension in a subtle way by quickly showing the viewer the danger without notice, all of that is done without a single sound signifying danger is on the way. This technique should be used more often in horror movies because it creates a tense atmosphere for a considerably long amount of time as opposed to a few seconds of jumpiness, it is the opposite of a ""jump scare"". I might not be picking the best film but there are other films that prove this technique of film-making is one to keep.

They could've improved the pace of the movie if they got rid of the useless side-story of the former high school friend trying to seduce McDormand. That scene should've been included in the deleted scenes. It would've also been a bit informative if we could understand how Mr Lundegaard got himself in this tough situation.

I recommend Fargo for it's interesting plot, enticing characters and overall artistic value.",8
I don't find it funny or any entertaining .. and also this movie is for kids ..,1
"Over-hyped movies,generally speaking, have a tendency of disappointing viewers especially when the first installment has been so fresh and enjoyable. An essential revamping of Agatha Christie style mysteries right down to the all-star casts that characterized the Poirot movies starring Peter Ustinov. The famous detective this time is Benoit Blanc featuring an excellent Daniel Craig playing New England dandy. Sure enough Ed Norton,Ethan Hawke,Hugh Grant,Kate Hudson play their part in the cast embellishment but it is an excellent beyond expectations Janelle Monae that steals the show. The second protagonist is the superb savvy screenplay,the exotic scenery,the unwinding and twists of the plot. A thouroughly enjoyable movie not to be missed..",7
"I postponed watching this for a year or so thinking it will be a teenage version of yet another fluffy idiotic glorification of psychopaths. I was wrong. The series is dark, bleak enough to give me chills but it is brilliantly done so it kept me watching. It portrays vividly the inner worlds of its protagonists while they go through the gruesome, confusing process of figuring out who they are in the midst of extreme circumstances to say the least. The main characters are immensely well made and played, the plot is unexpected, interestingly paced and the writing is naturally humorous, it never feels like it's trying to be, it just it. What I loved about it is that it truly feels like an original, there is nothing like it, it doesn't look or sound like anything else I've seen. P. S. I found season 2 just as good as 1 and it wraps everything up nicely.",9
"Loved the first film. In this film, Eddie is portrayed as a complete useless idiot; and the film thus loses its greatest asset, the hero'scharm. The dialogue is hard to understand, but that seems to be no loss, since whatever plot there is, is idiotic. Otherwise, it is just a noisy, childish mess.",4
"Not a well made movie. The director Karan Johar thinks, by spending millions of dollars ( not rupees ) , he can pass on any worthless piece as a work of art. Sorry Karan, your slip is showing. Stick to your usual routine of making senseless fantasy movies. Now coming to the more serious part, the movie's motives are suspect as it bases its story on some insidious lies. There was hardly any serious fallout because of the 911 incident. The American govt and the Americans handled the situation remarkably well. But the US govt took care, and still does to ensure that such an evil act of terrorism does not repeat itself. Any govt worth its name should do that. For an unfortunate event of such nature like 911 , the fallout was virtually negligible. And to base your story on a twisted representation of this vital truth , gives away the false bona-fides of this movie. Karan will do well, instead to make a movie about Gujarat where just because some 40 odd Hindu devotees were brutally murdered - an unfortunate event no doubt - the whole state was virtually on fire with communal riots breaking out in every nook and corner of Gujarat, and with the govt being mute spectators. As to the aesthetic merits of the movie- SRK and Kajol are loud , garish and have overacted, and the rest of the cast, nothing much to talk about them. Music is about OK . In a nutshell a solid disappointment. One last word : Karan don't do an Aamir, stick to your natural self.",1
"I'm not one of those people who feel the need to apologize for watching 'Barbie'. In my opinion there are no bad movie genres, there are only good movies and bad movies. And the cinema is also popular entertainment, and buying a big bowl of popcorn and sitting in the air-conditioned theater to watch a musical comedy that features some of the most talented actors of the moment can't be the worst thing on a hot summer day. 'Barbie', Greta Gerwig's film did not make me regret the decision to watch it for at least three quarters of its duration.

Barbie lives in an ideal world called Barbieland. Actually, I should use the plural, but I don't really know how, because it's not just about the blonde doll we all know, but about all the incarnations she has received over the decades - blondes and brunettes, with white, yellow, black or other skin colors, thinner or bigger. The multiple Barbies have the most diverse professions, from doctor to Nobel laureate writer, from astronaut to president of the United States. Ultimately, the Barbie universe was imagined to give courage and self-confidence to little girls and instill in them the idea that anything is possible. There are also boys, they are generally called Ken, but their purpose is to be the Barbies' (asexual) partners when those are willing to pay attention to them. The introduction to the film is excellent, with a quote from Kubrick's 'A Space Odyssey' and voiceovers narrated by Helen Mirren. When stereotypical blonde Barbie starts getting into trouble, the source is in the real world. Barbie must face reality and the conflict between universes is inevitable. The real world is not like the ideal world and the mixture of them will cause a revolution in Barbieland that will not necessarily be in the right direction. The awakening to reality or, if you will, the humanization of Barbie comes at a price.

'Barbie' - the movie works well most of the time, especially when the focus is on the comedic and musical side and the message is integrated into the entertainment. The production is excellent. The sets, the costumes, the cinematography will surely receive Academy Awards nominations, and in some categories 'Barbie' may be the winner. The soundtrack reminds at some points fragments from the history of the pop and ballad genres of the 70s and 80s. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling are excellent in the lead roles and I wouldn't be surprised if Barbie dolls borrow their faces (if they haven't already). The messages are well-punched and come across the screen quite well - genuine and fake feminism and the way Barbie products reflect society's conception of the place, role and appearance of women, the more or less camouflaged misogyny of contemporary society, corporations with their seemingly socially aligned messages camouflaging capitalist greed. All of this is well dosed and combined with what happens on screen until the final part of the film, when either the writers took themselves a little too seriously, or they did not have enough inspiration and instead of continuing to infuse the dissolved messages into entertainment they resorted to rhetoric and created an ending that I found forced and didactic. 'Barbie' was worth seeing for the fun part, for the colours, music and humour. When playing with dolls it is good not to be overly serious.",8
"Yes, worse than Thor 2, chaotic, lacking any depth, always love Tom Hardy but not really thus time.",3
"People are so easily swayed with advertisement releases of hyped up propaganda promising much; the main reason we have so many Sheeple' these days, but offering far less than promised!

I honestly found this incredibly dull and I was totally disappointed with the aerial scenes...of which so much had been promised.

The plot of this was not original; I believe it was based upon the real life Israeli attack on a nuclear installation from a few years back. By the time Cruise was sent back to the Top Gun school I was already quite bored with the goings on. The mission lead up of training etc was so dreary, dull and forgetful that I had to force myself to watch the film in its entirety.

I watched an Asian air force fighter pilot action film a month or so back and, it had some of the best aerial scenes and action capture since the 1968 Battle of Britain film.

I am in awe as to why a great many people think that Cruise is a top notch actor. He is not, but he is seemingly clever enough to co star with people who are and thus make him look good. His action films are all special FX driven with CGI etc and his films as Jack Reacher are a joke, as the Jack of the books is 6 feet 5 inches in height and Cruise is what?....5ft 7 or 8 inches.

Not worth the 36 year wait but the good news is that he won't be doing a third as he is way past the age barrier for a fighter pilot; a bit of welcome blessed relief for those who are in agreement with my thoughts on this drivel! 😄",2
Story is good . Initially it was a bit boring but after episode 4 it became interesting. Ending is awesome .,7
It's a good movie and I enjoyed it but it has some mistakes.,7
The story is fresh and not at all like the original. My family is really enjoying it.,8
What an absolute load of tosh. Pretending to be shot in one take is the only interesting thing about this B Movie.,5
"Absolute trash season & should of ended on season 2.

Do not waste any time watching these overly long boring episodes.

This show is way too overrated & i can't wait for it to finally end.",1
IT's not funny just stupid. Don't bother with it go for a walk.,1
"Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is wonderful biopic with fresh and unmatching story.BMB is the first movie which raises the spirit.It really gives you zest to succeed in life moreover its picture of ""ZAZBA"" and ""Ehsaas"".It is 100% perfect movie.It awakens vigor to explore yourself.It has quiet emotional scene which forcefully wets your eyes.Moreover it enlightens method of military and renews the memory of stories told by Grandpa.Must watch to live life of your Grandparents.I don't have any further word for it except Amazing!!!.I hope so, this biopic will become brand in coming year as Titanic is. Really enjoyed it a lot.",10
"I liked it a lot better than the mixed reviews I was reading would have led me to believe. It's not as fresh as the original, but the charisma and humor were there, and so were some great surprises. RDJ was amazing as always - it's hilarious that Iron Man is a funnier superhero than Spiderman, but the improv makes it work. Thumbs up! I think that anyone who enjoyed the first movie will like this as well, and enjoy a great thrill ride! And don't forget to stay after the credits for yet another Marvel movie tie-in that leads towards the inevitable Avengers movie in 2012! Don Cheadle did a good job - ScarJo was good, but not what I imagined the Black Widow to be like, but she *was* hot... And Gwyneth did her usual impeccable job. Mickey Rourke added weight to what could have been a cardboard cutout stereotype, and Sam Rockwell's character, though annoying, was well played.",9
"To start with, if you've seen the trailer, you've seen the movie. It was unbelievably contrived and predictable. Jake Gyllenhaal did an okay job but was totally unbelievable as a boxer. Really, 43 fights and no cauliflower ears? There were far too many stupid moment in the movie, such as his wife getting shot. Nobody could find the killer, like there isn't CCTV cameras in luxury hotels or anything. Ridiculous premise!

Also, his character was completely unsympathetic. I have suffered more than my fair share of grief and anyone who neglects their own child like that because they are selfish and caught up in their own grief is a piece of crap. All he cared about were his own feeling and what was happening with him, when you have a child that you are responsible for, you cannot behave like this. It should be the first thing you leave behind when you have a child. Disgusting parenting. Not to mention the fast that he shouldn't have got caught up in that petty fight that led to his wife getting killed in the first place. She pleaded with him to walk on, but again he only thought about himself.

And now on to the actual boxing. Dear God, it was boring and awkward to watch. As an ex Muay Thai boxer, the fight scenes were ridiculous. Usually, in boxing movies, I get totally excited and caught up in the fights due to my background, but this was just boring and so obviously fake to me. They were basically slapping each other, there was no impact or power when they hit one another, it was laughable! I know it's acting but I've seen great boxing movies where the fights were realistic. I cannot believe all of the positive review surrounding this movie, which prompted me to go in the first place, so disappointed!",2
There's something about this film that I didn't enjoy. I can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's the speed the movie moved along at or the terrible acting or just the fact it felt like a bad Nicholas Cage film (you can imagine him in this for sure) I just couldn't get involved in it at all,4
My opinion only slow and boring can't touch ananias the old classics.,2
"At the beginning, we see the Minister for Magic Rufus Scrimgeour (Bill Nighy), setting a grave mood which continues throughout the film (not continuously).

However, this grimness didn't seem to continue throughout the whole film, which I was disappointed about. This, I found, was when Ron (Rupert Grint) left Harry (Daniel Radcliff) and Hermione (Emma Watson) in the first half of the film. Ron was always the grimmest of the trio, with the help of his trusty radio, which always set the mood on edge. Once Ron left, it lost most of the grave mood, which I found disappointing.

The film, as a whole is good, but I found it dragged on a bit. I found that the cause of this was the highly exciting, amazing action scene at the beginning (where they get Harry to the Burrows). I found this scene the most exciting scene of the entire film and with it being so fast paced, you expect the other action scene's to be equally, if not more exciting.

I found that this wasn't the case. The other action scenes were good, the only one equal to the first action sequence was the fight between Harry and Nagini. The action sequence that I thought lacked luster was the foot-chase through the woods. The problem with this scene is that the trio had always managed to fight off a fair few Death Eaters at once, but as soon as confronted with 5(?) snatchers, turn tail and run. I would have liked this scene to have a bigger fight, instead of an occasional spell going off here and there and with no real fight happening. It had potential to be another exciting scene, but it fell short.

The scene's between the action gave us a sense of being alone and the times being full with stress between the characters. The trio often don't talk or when they do, they argue. This brings a sense of tension between them and heightens the feeling that they are alone.

I found three, truly emotional scenes in the film (not just filled with stress and tension). The first of these was when Harry and Hermione arrived in Godric's Hollow. They pair realise that its Christmas Eve, which is always the time for family and friends, but they have no one. And also, we see the grave of Lily and James Potter, Harry's parents. You can see that Harry is upset to finally see the grave of his parents, and Hermione shows that she feels sorry for him. The second one, was where Ron returned. This scene is emotional because it renews Harry and Ron's friendship and trust in each other, and also it is the scene of the destruction of the Horcrux, which tempts Ron into killing Harry. Finally, the third one is when Dobby (Tony Jones) is killed. The final words from Dobby are, ""Such a beautiful place it is, to be with friends. Dobby is happy to be with his friend, Harry Potter"". This shows us that there is hope and friendship in the world, even as there is death and sadness, a truly powerful scene, in my opinion, the most powerful in the film.

A final note: a good film that followed the book closely. But it dragged sometimes with extended scenes with no dialogue and no excitement, although I understand the reason for them. The film, I felt, lacked in the excitement department. Especially after the two excellent action scenes in the first half of the film (chase to the Burrows, the fight with Nagini) and they raised my expectations of the other action scenes, which failed to deliver. On the other hand, they succeeded spectacularly on the emotional side of the film, living up to my expectations, and going beyond it since David Yates managed to keep the feeling going during the duration of the film.",7
"Michelle williams was a terrible choice. Mona lisa saperstein was a terrible choice. Whoever played the tech genius bad guy was unconvincing.

Essentially...if venom wasnt on the screen, fast forward. No story is necessary. No idea if this stayed true to comic or not...and don't care. Could have used a cliffs notes version of this movie.

Had been on my list for a while to see and finally got to it. My expectations were nothing...i just wanted to see it. Better to have never seen it.",4
"I think this film's has garnered so much popularity due to its casting, producing a nearly all black cast is wonderful to see, signs that this industry is moving in the right direction becoming more diverse. However while this is wonderful to see, it doesn't make a good movie. That comess down to the story telling, direction and acting.

Michael B. Jordan I thought was just terrible, he delivered his lines in such an awkward way I couldn't not laugh at a few of them. Chadwick Boseman I thought was good, although he was definitely given a much better character to work with in like Jordan's who I thought just wasn't written well enough. The film relies too much on visual effects, I must've seen this film at least 2 or 3 times and just can't really remember the ending, it's just not memorable. Andy Serkis for me was the standout performance though his was short but sweet, he made a good villain again unlike Jordan compare the two and Jordan comes up 2 dimensional, easy to suss and forgettable.

I personally didn't enjoy the film nearly as much as other people I just saw as 2 hours of visuals that was there to pave the way for Infity war, forgettable story and characters, to see this consistently ranked best marvel film absolutely baffles i'd place it in the lower tier, hopefully the second will be better.",4
I do really like this show; they constantly work at keeping it interesting with plot changes. The characters evolve while still maintaining familiarity. The only thing that drives me nuts is them constantly throwing in unnecessary political jabs; can I not just watch a show that has NOTHING to do with political without politics randomly being thrown in?,1
"You know that series of ads for Blockbuster Video featuring the oh-so-artsy film student that is really quite superficial and pseudo-intelligent? That's what everyone who sees greatness in Quentin Tarantino reminds me of. Come on, people, there are certain rules for movie-making that are indelible. You can't get by forever writing the script on the same day of shooting while hung over. Maybe I'm the blind man in the world of the sighted....or just maybe Tarantino has you all fooled, like Peter Sellers in ""Being There.""",5
"One of my most immediate responses to The Witcher was how well the soundtrack worked with the masterfully crafted settings & breathtaking fight-choreography; I could watch Geralt's duel with Renfri over and over. Henry Cavill is an amazing Geralt, but I think the strong point of the series are its female characters. Jodhi May's Queen Calanthe is singular in her swagger; it is a treat watching her on-screen commanding a room full of rowdy nobles vying for her good will. Freya Allen as Ciri is ethereal in every scene, graceful through each scene and deftly reveals the beginnings of the character she'll evolve into later in the series. Anya Chalotra is heartbreaking as Yennifer in the first couple of episodes, then is reintroduced with a commanding presence to rival Calanthe. Her arc is one of the most eye-catching and simply fun on television right now. Her Yennifer is a gripping foil to Cavill's Geralt. While The Witcher doesn't completely fill the void of Game of Thrones, as political intrigue isn't a major plot device, it's a great fantasy epic with an aesthetic that I find more absorbing than that of something like His Dark Materials.",8
"It's OK, I suppose.

Good parts: Period costumes & sets were beautiful. Special effects were (mostly) very good, and the Fantastic Beasts were individually great fun.

So-so parts: The acting was only OK. Newt (Eddie Redmayne) in particular left me dissatisfied. Yes he's playing an introverted character, but I saw no reason for the bond he seemed to build with Tina. The MACUSA wizards & witches were extremely underdeveloped, including the President. Their hot-and-cold treatment of Tina for her interruptions made no sense to me either.

Poor: The editing seemed off to me, in a way I haven't noticed since The Chamber of Secrets. --- awkward pauses littered the film, robbing it of its momentum. Newt's interaction with some of the larger beasts didn't look realistic (e.g. his stroking the Thunderbird's neck). And I personally dislike FX-heavy movies where the Big Bad is some amorphous cloud (not as bad as Green Lantern, but pretty bad).

Final thought: why do so many large beasts have bird's heads? This seems to be a thing with Rowling ...",6
Panchayat is one of a kind series I have watched in a while. Perfect blend of comedy and reality.. There are only 5 people as main cast and yet they have so beautifully acted together making it a nicely woven day to day story. It perfectly puts the harsh realities and struggle of a townbie when he lives in a village and yet it has shown how soft hearted and kind the villagers are..,9
"I almost didn't go because of all the bad reviews. Now I am writing only because of the bad reviews. I was never bored, I did not doze off as I do in many movies, nobody walked out. The 2 people I was with liked it as much as I did. Nothing is obvious and it is absorbing from beginning to end.",8
I don't even want to think about how many hours I wasted on watching this ...,2
"I've probably rewatched this show 20 times. It's that good. Character developmeant is amzing, writing is fantastic, along with a great storyline.",10
Although i like Sam Jackson i found the movie not that god and a bit boring,5
Excellent series that challenges your mind and introduces concepts that have rarely been visited before. I'm kinda shocked by the negative reviews but i guess this series isn't for everyone!,8
"Stars: Bill Murray, Scarlett Johanssen and Anna Farris.

It's amazing to me how anyone could consider this fluff to be a fine film. Obviously people do, because it was up for Best Picture by the Acadamy Awards. This was a quiet love story that was all very held back and soft, but along with that it just really wasn't interesting. I have seen films like this that managed to be good, but this was just not interesting. The best part of the film was Anna Farris and that really wasn't that good. People can think what they want, but I just don't like this boring and annoying film.

My rating: * 1/2 out of ****. 122 mins. R for sex.",4
"Started off odd, became weird and ended up bizarre. Kept watching hoping it would make sense but I was disappointed.

No doubt others will describe this as 'artistic' or 'original' blah, blah; my chosen adjective would be pointless.

That said, it is subjective but I would say it's a marmite film, you will either love it or hate it.",2
"This is not a great movie - when you get down to it, it's not even a good movie. It's a popcorn movie at best. The best thing it has going for it? Margot Robbie as Barbie: she does channel the role well and when her world turns upside down, you genuinely feel sorry for her. At the other end of the scale - Ryan Gosling as Ken. Gosling is good at stretching into roles, but no matter what - Ken was an androgenous doll and Gosling can't stretch the role anything more than that. He looks like a character out of ZOOLANDER and whenever he is on the screen, i was cringing in my seat. There are definitely funny moments: my favorite? When Ken runs into the ocean to surf. Definitely a woman's movie from the first preach to the final cast roll - it got old fast and the screenplay didn't seem to have much substance after the ""I am woman"" speeches. I thought it was me, but there was a lot of kids in the theatre and they all appeared to be bored as well. Sorry Greta => This is not your ticket to the Oscars.",3
"Guru is a kind of a movie that would reinforce one's belief in the sincerity of bollywood. It not only provided a good start for 2007 but also was able to wipe off the memories of last few bad months of 2006 (especially after Dhoom 2 disaster).

This movie is a story of a common man who fights all the odd against him and all the social pressure to become a rich man. The movie portrays how a strongly committed person can achieve his goals and very graciously also shows all the bitterness that surrounds the sweetness of the success. Guru is a very real world cinema. It does not tries to pose itself as a ideal world movie. One can feel that issues like dowry and corruption are promoted in this movie. But then we have to realize that this movie shows the time of 1950s and even today we are no where close to the eradication of dowry or corruption. At the end movie was able to send audiences home happy by forgiving all the misdeeds of Guru Bhai.

This movie is a showcase of excellent performances. AB can be rated as near flawless. It is especially very hard for him to satisfy critics since its a natural tendency for anyone to compare him with BIG B. But he was able to prove his own strengths in this movie and this will surely put him in the race for a national award this year. Though Aishwarya has given one of the best performances of her career, I would have to say that there was not much for her in this movie. But however small her screen time may be, she played it with utmost grace. Now comes the best part of describing the performances; this movie is a treat for ardent Mithun da's fan. This movie again proves what kind of perfomer Mithun is and what he can do in a movie when he puts his best effort. Some other strong performances includes Roshan Seth (as always), Madhavan, Vidya Balan etc etc.

Mani Ratnam is at his usual best. Screenplay is beautiful though he mixed a lot of south Indian touch with Gujrat. The villages and the backgrounds looked more like from Andhra than from Gujrat. A R Rehman was again excellent though I felt that Guljar was unable to do a complete justice with the lyrics. Story is well intact and will not allow viewers to take their minds away from it. Choreography is very ordinary but mix very well with the theme of the movie. I wont give full points to the costume designers as they gave a south India touch in a Gujrati theme.

Some minor flaws: some parts of movie was redundant and unnecessary. The scene where Guru bhai goes to the minister for the approval of his petro chemical plant was not necessary. I think Director tried to show his enterprising skills but was redundant with other scenes through out the movie like golf scene, persuading IAS officer to open the trade etc. Sometimes it feels that movie is going very fast. But again I might be too picky.

Overall its a must watch movie to appreciate a life time performance from AB and catch the glimpse of Mithun da's power",8
"A show with vey disturbing and obnoxious sound effects, that's it. Ohhhh the plot, yeah, grow up.",6
"The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is a show that I wasn't interested in at all when it came out, but I recently decided to actually watch it, I'd heard a lot of positive things and it tells the story of Falcon and Bucky Barnes's futures and how Falcon will carry on the legacy of Captain America.

And I loved this show, it is lowkey binge-worthy, it takes the characters in the most grounded directions they've been in since Civil War, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, and Wyatt Russell are the best they've been in years, the finale episode is great and even though this series is surprisingly political, it packs a lot of fun, the humor is great and the action is fantastic.

There's also some twists in the final episode that I never saw coming and it all wraps up in a great way.

I'm gonna give The Falcon and the Winter Soldier an A-",8
"This movie is a total piece of manipulation. It does have a few redeeming features though - Morgan Freeman's narration all through is pure art!!! This guy acts with his mouth!!! As a piece of fiction it has some merit and I can see why many people would enjoy it. But to be classed as one of the best movies of all time - really? C'mon!!! Certainly the portrayal of the brutality of the guards during those times I would say is fairly realistic.

The one part of the story where an old timer gets released does ring true. There are many people like that who are totally institutionalized and do not have the skill to survive on the outside without a good support network in place.

This is a movie for those people who like everything laid out perfectly for them and doesn't require any thinking. Personally I like a bit more depth and reality.

I don't want to put people off seeing it - it should be watched once. But for me the flaws outweigh its redeeming features.",3
"Watched the first episode and found the acting very wooden. The whole thing felt a bit 80's Doctor Who. To me it felt like it was trying too hard to good in a contrived, arty farty way. Maybe, looking at the glowing reviews here, I should try again?",5
"Maybe it is the 3d that i am missing. I am sure that that ruined some of the 2d graphics.

I liked the older, girl and miles spiderman. The others did have potential. But this movie was way too fast! You get no time to feel empaty. All character introductions and developments are russed like crazy. This is not the way to make a giant story like this on screen.

Maybe it is more like the commics but then i would have disliked this one too.

Would not have spend my time watching it if i knew it would be like this.",3
"OK, so just finished the first season and I gotta say: IT IS AWESOME!! I don't know exactly what has to be so especial, but it kept me so interested , and I don't even like standard action animes.

first thoughts: I have to say thought the first episode didn't really get me enthusiastic about this show, but i just kept watching because the hype was so much, haven't regret, as the story moves it just keeps the viewer more connected with the fantasy.

about the story: schemes get more complex as the show goes, and it is impossible not to get curious about what is going to happen(I watched the whole first season in two days, couldn't get me eyes of the show)

things that lack: in my opinion the show lacks on constructing the relationships between the main characters and the secondary characters, i just think it should built i more dense relationship. As a girl I miss a little of romance.",8
"This is a slightly old fashioned, family friendly sci-fi that has a Jurassic park like vibe. There are a lot of comments on here that say the writing is bad but I can't agree. I think the writing is very intentional in the dialogue, characters, set-pieces and general atmosphere but it simply isn't meant to be overly serious though it can create an appropriate amount of tension when it needs to. It is 'good' not great but certainly entertaining.",6
"Wow, just wow. Chilling, bleak, shocking, beautiful, heartbreaking, educational. I could go on and on. I felt as though the first episode was a bit jumbled (perhaps it was shot that way purposefully because of how jumbled the event was); however, the finale made up for it ten-fold.

As a lover of cinema, in it's entirety, I felt as though I was watching Polish writer/director Krzysztof Kieslowski provide the back drop for brilliant European actors reading physics textbooks (all wonderful things in my opinion!)

As a human being, after reading through the other reviews on here written by folks from Ukraine/Belarus/Russia, many of which gave 10/10 for accuracy, I am even more floored. I highly recommend watching this.",9

The actors look silly talk silly - blame them not too much - they are left in the hands of one of the all times worst directors Michael Bay.

The result is complete garbage with lots of special effects.",2
It is a magnificent series which everyone must see in their lifetime. You will absolutely love it when you see it. I literally completed the whole series by one day itself. It is such a addictive series that you would appreciate yourself. I think the team which is produced such an amazing masterpiece. Sach masterpieces are required over the period of time. Appreciate the vision of the team. Their hard work is absolutely commendable. There is no doubt that everyone has given their 100% and their best shot in this Epic masterpiece. I feel blessed after watching this. It will remain is one of the best masterpiece I have seen in my lifetime.,10
"I expected a lot of this movie based on the reviews. This movie is what you call a ""slow burn"". You do get to see the main character evolve over time towards a darker side but I feel like the process is too slow of a pace.",4
"I played the games and enjoyed them.

This show is not good. It's beyond slow. It's boring. I like the guy from the Mandalorian but everyone else has the acting skills of 5th graders in a play. I can't knock the writing because they are following already written material. So the director, most actors, lighting crew, wardrobe and extras all need to bare the responsibility of this disaster.

I wanted to like it. Maybe that's the problem. It disappoints so much it brings out vitriol. There's literally nothing to like. I usually enjoy HBO Show and expected so much more. Sorry.... I do not usually review, but seeing this ranked so absurdly high I just had to. It's just that bad.",2
"Spy thrillers are quite an odd genre, at least in my opinion. Oftentimes, they vary massively in quality. There are some incredibly mature films, focusing on the grim reality of international espionage. There are also ones which enjoy themselves more, relishing in the glitz and glamour of their line of work. Then, there's many which are simply aimed at the widest audience possible, and end up leaving nothing of substance as they do their best to play it safe and remain inoffensive to anybody.

I'll be honest, after watching the trailer and seeing Jennifer Lawrence's casting, I assumed Red Sparrow would be the latter of my list. I've nothing against Jennifer Lawrence's work, but for the most part, she seems to feature in films I rarely find enjoyment in. I enjoy X-Men comics, and the occasional film, but the recent ones she's featured in gave me little-to-no pleasure from watching them. The Hunger Games films, based on the books I enjoyed at the time, were also ultimately lacking. They even dragged out what I feel is many people's least favourite book into two films in order to maximise profits. I've yet to see Mother! but from what I've heard, it's terribly divisive. Still, it means it's the second bleak film Jennifer Lawrence has starred in, in a row.

I was even less certain about this film following the online reaction. With the recent success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, many people have been pushing for a standalone Black Widow film. Marvel seems reluctant to do so, and regardless of what people's thoughts on the matter may be, it seems we won't be getting one. Still, when Red Sparrow was announced, many fans were excited. There was certainly many links between the characters (female, russian, spy etc.) but, personally, I don't think a Black Widow film would work. At least not in the way Marvel and Disney would attempt it. Regardless, this certainly wasn't a fun, kick-ass superhero film.

Red Sparrow certainly isn't aimed at what I would consider a standard Jennifer Lawrence fan (12-20 female). It is a surprisingly adult, and remarkably depressing film. Comic relief is almost entirely absent, and the violence was cranked up to 11. In England, the film was rated a 15 (after a single scene was trimmed to keep the rating), presumably to pull in as many viewers as possible. After seeing it, however, I feel it would have been perfectly fine as an 18. I imagine they made use of various loopholes as the rating system has many odd rules regarding what you can and can't show. There was full-frontal nudity featured frequently throughout, something which I came to believe would earn you an automatic 18+ rating. Of course, adult language was also utilised throughout to a point where I was left scratching my head; I don't know what else could have been added that would have bumped the film up to an 18.

That isn't to say I was disgusted by the content. In fact, it's what I enjoyed the most. It was a pleasant surprise to see what I assumed to be a star vehicle flesh out into a grimly gruesome thriller. There was also genuine moments of beauty, with some wonderful shots sprinkled throughout the first ten minutes. In my opinion, in fact, the first third or so of the film was by far the best. The tone was terribly uncomfortable throughout certain scenes, and I was hoping the whole film would be of similar content. Unfortunately, the plot progressed.

Personally, the writing of the film was the weakest aspect for me. All of the characters felt rather flimsy, unfortunately. I appreciate that in spy films, everyone is a trained professional doing their job, and oftentimes that leads to drier scenes, but I was struggling to stay focused throughout this particular cinematic venture. The most engaging points in the film were all littered throughout the first third, once again.

The plot was also rather flimsy. Honestly, halfway through the film, I wasn't sure what the main objective was. I don't know if I simply missed an important line, but it felt like we were juggling subplots needlessly. When the actual climax of the film came, I was surprised; I assumed the main conflict we were addressing was simply a side-plot.

As lacking as I felt the characters were, however, the actors weren't to blame as far as I could tell. Jennifer Lawrence was perfectly fine, and her accent was consistent throughout as far as I could tell, so I can't complain too much. Joel Edgerton was also perfectly serviceable. Matthias Schoenaerts was probably my favourite in the film, but a single enjoyable performance can't carry a film. Unless it's Nicholas Cage, of course.

The pacing of the film was terribly slow, too. I can enjoy slower burning films, but in good films, you're fed information at a steady pace to keep you invested. In Red Sparrow, it felt like we were told something, then there'd be a half hour slump, then the plot would resume.

Unfortunately, I also found much of the soundtrack to be forgettable. I hate to continue saying it, but at the beginning, the music was used well with the scenes. Beyond that, however, I barely noticed it. I know many people may argue that means it served it's role perfectly, but I much prefer the more memorable tunes I can hum a year after seeing it.

Overall, I feel Red Sparrow was a 6/10. I can absolutely recommend it if you enjoy grim spy thrillers, or if you are simply a fan of the cast, but if not i'd steer clear as this film offers little else.",6
"13 Reasons Why is a show which exposes one of the biggest issues in our teenagers modern lives nowadays: Bullying. This TV Series is a fictionally (as far as I know, it is not based on a single real story, it faces the problem generally) example of adolescents being a bully or bullied. Being treated well, or not well, it is about being not human to each other and these episodes made me realize some things.

I will not talk about cast, actors, film editing or whatever because I think they are irrelevant; the purpose of these show is not to be a cinematographic masterpiece (this is why I gave it a 9, not a 10), the real purpose of it is THE POWER OF EXAMPLE. A story which gives you thrills, nervousness and other kind of emotions, a story which everyone of us, no matter their perceptions, should listen to. I am not a TV Series fan, I have to agree, but this TV Show is not one of those shows that you only watch because you like some of the actors, or the story-line, or you heard it is nice or whatever. You watch these episodes because they are one of the few things that can make us realize the effects of bullying and hatred. Take your time, there are 13 episodes of almost 1 hour each, watch them whenever you want and you will feel it.

If you are a person seeking for another TV Series to watch, do not watch this, as you may have read in my review, it is much more than that.

I rest my case.",9
"Season 4 is so overrated.

Too much hype for nothing special.

Long, boring episodes, inconsistent writing.

My rating for seasons: Season 1 10/10 Season 2 9/10 Season 3 6/10 Season 4 4/10.",7
"I didn't want to get it a low rating, because I love anything space related. Although the starting was right and the visual effect was very pleasing, the story could not match up to the hype after a couple of episodes. I enjoyed up to episode 3 or 4, and after that the story becomes utterly predictable and idiotic. Not even a die hard fan of sci-fi like me could stick till the end...",5
"This show is boring. Benioff and Weiss wrote clever, witty, funny, lovable, hated, and revered characters when writing GOT. Where is the biting wit? Where is the blood and gore?

I find myself falling asleep while trying to give this show a chance. I am watching this while back to back rewatching GOT and it is an insult to compare to two or to even put them in the same category. GOT is the better series (even after the letdown of season 8). GOT will be remembered and rewatched but I doubt very many will sing this shows praises and return to rewatch it just to relive the ""magic"".

Such a shame.",3
"The Boys is a series quite ambitious in its extensions. On the one hand, it firmly presses on the classic who-watches-the-watchmen concern. On the other hand, the show is also trying something new. It is not enough for the TV show to demonstrate superheroism as conservative viciousness or as a state tool of repression. Instead, it attempts to represent a complicated superhero industrial complex that permeates almost all of mass culture and social life. So The Boys' superheroes, corrupt and arrogant as they are, become at the same time the most unexpectedly realistic as their actions are intertwined with business interests, advertisers, sponsorships, rights, fan culture, public presence and public order.

The Boys has the virtue of attempting to see superhero culture as a whole, as an industry and as an ideology. The series cuts through the simplistic superhero ethics of good and evil, the absence of complexity and the culture of collateral damage while balancing the themes it conveys with compelling and rich characters. In conclusion The Boys is a TV series that points to an increasingly diverse, demanding and multifaceted television superhero future. Even if the MCUs and DCUs fall into the cliché, it seems that a superhero door has opened on television that is not going to close any time soon.",9
"Visually a great film but the soundtrack choices are stunningly bad...

Worth watching once but not a second time.

The 10 star reviews are a bit confusing.",2
"I appreciated the performances were good but I found the film not enjoyable in the slightest. I'm all for a long movie, but to have scenes which were meaningless to the story throughout made it hard to watch at times.

Perhaps my expectations were set too high, I just wasn't entertained..",4
"This shows is garbage, everything went wrong with this season.",1
"Usually, I am someone that likes most films. Even some with rather low ratings on IMDB. I was skeptical when I read the description of the film since it did not feel like it will be a good one. I however saw that most people have it a good rating. So, why not see it, I thought. I am on the 3rd episode and it does lot seem like the film will get any better. The story is ok but the development is not good. The acting is ok but the dialogues are weak and mostly unrealistic. This will be the first Netflix series I will not finish.",2
"Half of the show is about Wednesday Adams and the other half is a copy of Home Before Dark.

It's strength is in it's visuals (theme, color scheme, effects, etc.) and characters which made it always enjoyable to watch but it's investigation story is a Home Before Dark knock off, I would have rated it 8/10 if it had a stronger more original story.

Wednesday dorms with her opposite, Enid, they keep getting boyfriends but the best relationship potential is right in front of us the whole time, Wednesday and Enid, I was disappointed the creators didn't take it further, was the greatest missed opportunity in the series.",7
"This is a great show for kids as every or at least most of the episodes have a good moral attached to them. The only reason I don't give this a 10/10 is because I have seen better shows. So while I don't think the show as a whole could do much better while working in its own constraints as a nickelodeon, animated, show, it could be better had it more freedom. Tough to review for that reason (am I rating the show in general, not in relation to its genre) but great regardless!",9
"A big hype around the film but did not stood to its expectations. Plot is not impressive but the final fate of spiderman will be decisive in the upcoming films. Fighting scenes not that good, the only good fighting scene was doctor strange's fight with spiderman. Mild comedy ruined the seriousness associated with death scenes of prominent characters.",4
They definitely just rushed the story it could have been so much more. Worst ending ever. It was thrown together so quickly and it had so much potential.,6
"This film fails in the fundamental aspect of cinema - to have a plot.

'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' does not have a plot.

It is simply a succession of events of no particular interest, or relevance, squashed together.

The only thing in the film vaguely resembling a plot - I won't reveal what - happens briefly halfway through for around 20 minutes and then pops-up again for the final 10 minutes. What is the point of the other 2+ hours, I have no idea.

If anyone other than Tarantino had directed this, it would've been panned. Yet, as it's him, it receives this utterly unjustifiable rating.

Perhaps this is actually an art installation by Tarantino; Tarantino proves he can receive copious plaudits by squashing a load of 'stuff' together and calling it a film.

I would say that some have lost the plot by approving of this film. But there is no plot to lose.

No plot, no point.",4
I love these movies with Frank Wilson and Vera F. They are great actors in a genre with terrible acting.. not nearly as good as the conjuring movies but still enjoyable movie and a must see if you enjoy these series as much as I do.,7
"The 2017 TV series ""Blood Drive"" did it better. It was ore over the top, more humor, better characters, etc. TM wants to be funny, but can't go all the way. It wants to be a human interest story, but few of the characters are likable. The world isn't properly fleshed out and too much doesn't make sense. On one hand, it's post apocalyptic, on the other, lights, neon, air conditioning and hot dogs. Maybe it's trying to make a point about class warfare and the haves vs the have nots, but I'm not entirely convinced that what it is attempting. The series starts off strong, and closes pretty well with Ep 7-9, but 10 is filler, as is everything else.

I get it's difficult to translate a video game to the big screen (I'm looking at you Resident Evil) but this....this is just mediocre. It's been done before and better, way better.

4/10 at best.",4
"Spider-Man 2 comes at a time when people just can't seem to get enough of these superhero flicks. From Van Helsing to The Hulk or Daredevil, the success of ""flicks"" like X-Men have made big bucks for companies willing to catch on to the coming trend. But superhero films are nothing new. Superman broke huge ground in 1978 and Batman is still in the upper-tier section of Tim Burton's catalogue of films.

Yet, with the exception of the original X-Men, only 2002's Spider-Man has proved to be the best superhero film of this the modern age of summer blockbusters. X2: X-Men United was mere above-average work, and Daredevil and others were just awful. Spider-Man, directed by cult director Sam Raimi, was a fun film. It had its problems, and it sure as hell didn't even follow the comics as closely as other comic-book-themed films like Dick Tracy, but it came as a surprise to me and this is a huge reason as to why I'm so particularly fond of it.

The sequel, Spider-Man 2, further surprised me as it lived up to the original's standards, and then some. It's a rare oddity to be sure, but Spider-Man 2 is a more grown-up film that's eager to take the series to a new direction. The surviving cast is largely the same; Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker, Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson, James Franco as Harry Osborn, et all. What's also great about the film is that it's also quite different from what most casual fans expected. This being that the film's story doesn't revolve around the villain and his plans, but rather on the physical and emotional problems of the protagonist. We're meant to feel Maguire's thoughts, pains, and successes and for 130 minutes, Raimi perfectly accomplishes this.

The villain in the film is Dr. Octopus, a comic book favorite, who's brilliantly played by Frida co-star Alfred Molina. Molina is pitch-perfect in his role, and the villain is much more likeable then the original's Green Goblin (though Willem Dafoe's acting I prefer more, the entire Goblin get-up looked like something out of the original Power Rangers). Furthermore, we learn and see what Harry's been doing with himself after discovering Spider-Man was the person who killed his father. His goal is to discover who's behind the mask and to get his revenge. His interest in knowing the truth becomes a key factor in ending his relationship with his friend Peter (he doesn't know he's Spider-Man, but he does know that Peter is a ""friend"" of the 'bug').

The problems the characters face lead to a great climactic ending, leaving room for more to be sure, but also giving just enough so people will be satisfied. Mind you the mindless audiences who don't care about good films will most likely prefer the free-form style of the original, but the sequel is much better because it makes you care about everything that's going on around the character. The film isn't perfect, though. Computer effects, though slightly improved from the previous outing, still look weak given the huge budget of the film, and some of the acting is only exceptional, and the jokes flat. The ""Raindrops.."" song from Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid fits greatly into the movie though, and Elfman's soundtrack is an improvement to the original's. The rest of the soundtrack, performed by major players like Dashboard Confessional, is all weak though.

But the film prevails from the proverbial trappings of the normal summer blockbuster. It's a good film, that's the surprise, and it's also one to be remembered. We're fed with problems that plague our beloved characters. But if Billy Wilder's ""Some Like It Hot"" taught us anything, it's that ""No one's perfect"".

8.5/10 (***+/****)",8
"I grew up with the original series and have never stopped watching it (the blu-ray release is truly amazing). I was first in line to see the film, and was sorely disappointed by the negative characters and the ""look""... So this morning when I chanced to discover this new series on Netflix I had to grit my teeth, fully prepared to hate it. But I didn't hate it. By the third episode I was hooked.

Pros: The show's visuals are stunning and far better than anything I've seen on TV before. The acting is first-rate. There is actual character development!

Cons: As with the original, all science seems to be thrown out the window. Not wild about the new robot design. Too many flashbacks. I would have preferred a more traditional timeline.

Danger! Danger, Will Robinson: I know happy families aren't as dramatically satisfying as families with issues, but this series is treading on the ground that ruined the film for most of us. Midway through the first season things are developing and showing signs of better relationships to come -But I hope the series' writers don't fall into the trap of making things too dark and negative.

I don't know why this show has attracted so many virulent attacks for its alleged political correctness. Trolls? Bots? Kremlin agents? Ignore them, whatever they are. This series is interesting and engaging, and well worth a look.",9
"Firstly, let me say that Daniel Craig's performance in this film was Oscar worthy. His timing, his characterisation and his accent were brilliant. On top of that the rest of the cast were also amazing, and keep you engaged throughout. The film does feel very Agatha Christie, and I was hoping for a little more 'who done it?' and more mystery, though the film does well to tell you what happens midway through yet still add a cheeky twist at the end. Overall, Knives Out is a good film that offers suspense and surprise, but just needed to be sharper.",7
This show is not good. It starts off promisingly and has a few good and even great episodes. But it devolves into pretentious garbage for the rest of its runtime. The show isn't as funny nor subversive as Dan (I'm so smart) Harmon seems to self-righteously think it is. Massive respect for the actors (except Chevy Chase) for constantly putting up with the garbage writing. Don't watch this show.,3
"Movies, of course, are subject to the likes/dislikes of the viewer. Despite trepidations over the weak cast (except, of course, for DeNiro), I chose to attend on the basis of this movie being nominated for an Academy Award. Unfortunately, what I found was a poorly scripted and poorly acted film that had no meaningful plot and no meaningful value. Clearly an ""A"" movie in production quality, the fact is that this movie has nothing to say. It seems to display dysfunctional characters for the purpose of capitalizing on those dysfunctional characters and nothing more. This movie might best have been left on paper.

I managed to stick with the movie to the end, mostly because I was with a group, and waited (impatiently) for something, anything, meaningful to happen. Sadly, nothing meaningful ever did happen.

Most people seem to have gotten something from this movie. If you didn't, don't feel alone.",2
"A movie about a degenerate shartbag, his degenerate friends, degenerate family and degenerate associates. Mostly everyone acts like degenerates and talks over each other constantly. Did I mention it's about degenerates?

The ending was welcome when it came and I felt like everyone pretty much got what they deserved.

The movie was well done as far as it went, but the story and characters are of no consequence.",5
"Coen brothers are sometimes confused between creativity and bizarreness. Many masterpieces bring in original script, directing, editing, or camera walk, but none of them appears to show off these efforts. It just shows. Coen brothers... I can clearly see what they are trying to do here. 'I'm so cool, so I'm gonna make this movie so unique and original. I will try to bring out jokes and comical air amidst serious crime, deceit, and psychopathic behavior and call it black comedy.' To do this, they need tighter, more developed, and more enchanting storyline. The story itself is loose; many scenes without any meaning just to emphasize the movie's quirkiness; unnecessarily inhumane and disgusting scenes not producing any effects. AND why does this movie ardently claim that it is a true story when it is not? I feel so cheated.",6
"SPECIAL 26 is not one of those mindless masala entertainers with leave- your-brains-at-home attitude. SPECIAL 26 encompasses three startling cases that sent a shiver down the spine of many a businessman in the 1980s. What makes the film tick is the manner in which Neeraj Pandey integrates these episodes in a sequence and develops a clever cat and mouse saga between law breakers and law enforcers. Like A Wednesday, SPECIAL 26 also sets you thinking.Yet, it's sharp, intelligent and thoroughly enjoyable. On the whole, SPECIAL 26 is an intelligently woven, slick and smart period thriller with its subject matter as its USP. It's sure to get listed as one of the most gripping heist dramas based on real life occurrences. A film that's sure to win accolades, acclaim and awards. Also, box-office rewards!",10
"The second season started good but got disappointing very quickly. The writers neither have a feeling for the witcher universe nor the charachters in it. They should have stayed by the books. The ""boss-fight"" was painful to watch.",3
"I'd always loved to see Chris Hemsworth in a full fledged action movie. And was glad to see him in Extraction. Now First about the cons of this movie, it defies logic and not sure about the body count though. The major negative is wafer thin story and script. The lead antagonist is completely miscast. The major USP of this movie is the '11 Minute' fight sequence. It's one of the best action choreography I've seen in recent past. It was wild, raw, realistic and quite intense. Thanks to Netflix release, the censor less leverage is rightfully used. Not to mention about the cinematography especially in the stunt sequence, kudos to the legend Newton Thomas for his live cinematography. Finally our very own Thor, we see him here as Tyler Rake. Chris's portrayal of Tyler rake was great. And it was indeed fresh to see him as such. This movie would sure cater for adrenaline pumping movie lovers!! Grab a bucket of popcorn for a Saturday night movie!!!",6
"This show is excellent and I knew it would become a big old comforting friend from thje moment I saw the trailer. It's so hard to find gentle comedies these days that the whole family can curl up and enjoy but Murders hits the mark straight on and has become such a firm favouritre in our house with us and our kids. I like plenty of dark drama (just come off Euphoria and started Swarm) but stuff that the whole family can watch is thin on the ground. The only comparable show I can think of that does the same as Murders is Ted Lassoo and given hom much we crave a bit of time out from the world of stress and worry I do wonder why the tv companies/streamers don't give us more of this sort of content.

The cast are amazing and ther writing is crisp and clean and often hiolarious. It's the perfect binge watch for anyone who needs a bit of time away For anyone who loves a good detective-crime-mystery story but can't handle too much darkness, this is the perfect binge-watch!",10
"This is possibly the worst movie I've ever watched. Two hours of utterly pointless nonsense, and then a stupid ending that explains nothing and makes no sense. This is my first ever IMDB review, and I'm writing it to save people the wasted time spent watching this drivel.",1
"My summary basically says it all. I had so been looking forward to seeing this movie particularly as l love musicals - but am sad to say that I was hugely disappointed. It started brightly enough with the traffic jam dance scene - but from there on in it was all downhill for me. I felt the whole film was terribly disjointed and it felt like they were trying too hard to recreate the magical musicals of years gone by. The singing was poor - and the 'dancing' - if you could call it that - equally uninspiring. Some reviewers have even gushed about this being one of the 'greatest musicals' of all-time. What?? Have they never seen West Side Story, Grease, or any of the old Hollywood greats? Obviously no, otherwise they would never have made such a stupid statement. For me this was 2 hours of ZZzzzzz.",2
The writing in season 3 is really weak. The show feels like something that was written on the fly in almost real time. I don't feel like I'm watching real characters. It feels like I'm watching actors hanging out on a set and trying to act a little bit.,7
"The movie is a complete disappointment.. The acting is good but it is unnecessarily too long.. The story telling is very poor in many ways. We are listening the Irishman story from the main character, who know who he is speaking to.. then we realize the story develops upon a wedding and a road trip. Seeing the 'good fellas' in their senior manner is nice. But making DeNiro act for the main characters youth with those terrible contacts and weird make up is a bad bad choice.. Not recommended.",2

"Eternal Sunshine is neither the masterpiece that many people will have you believe nor is it awful as the backlashers claim. Once again Charlie Kaufman takes the kernel of a great idea and overloads it with his own obsessive personality. The idea of a couple fighting to retain beautiful memories of their past together while undergoing a memory erasure is ingenious. Kaufman definitely hits some poignant notes along the way (he's great at communicating the mundane pleasures and comforts of relationships), but Joel and Clementine's characters seem like mere sketches rather than fully developed people that the audience can care about. Joel in particular is maddening because he's the same schlubby protagonist that is in all of Kaufman's scripts: it's Charlie himself. The man is simply incapable of creating characters outside the bounds of his own personality. Also, the movie isn't as enjoyable as it should be. Though I wanted to see how it ended (even though I predicted the plot twist about 30 minutes into the movie), Kaufman denies the audience the pleasures of human connection with the characters in favor of convoluted, intricately distanced storytelling. The characters come across as rats in an experiment or pawns in a chess game or any other omniscient metaphor you can think of. And the subplot between the workers of Lunaca fits but in an unimaginative, convenient way. I must say that all of the performances were excellent (except Elijah Wood, but he didn't have much of a character anyway), particularly Winslet and Mark Ruffalo. Director Michel Gondry and his team of technicians give the movie an appropriately jittery, jagged rhythm and look. It feels like the work of a writer on anti-depressants and Valium filtered through the mind of a director on a 3-day caffeine binge. That's not necessarily a bad thing because without the energy and gimmickry that Gondry brings to the film, the emptiness of the conception would be all the more glaring. Don't believe the hype but don't discount the film altogether either. It seems that many people are discovering something profound in it. Self-doubt and emotional shallowness might be the new status quo.",5
"If I'd rated this before season 3, this show would be an easy 10/10. But with each season after 2, the quality of the episodes continuously decreases with the occasional surprise, and then finally the mountainside plane wreck of season 5.

I have insomnia and slept like twice during the viewing and eventually couldn't finish the movie. Love Milly Bobby brown but this movie is crap... stay away!,4
Anyone rating this highly hasn't finished the series. The first few episodes are amazing! I was hooked. After that is very slow. It became a big disappointment,5
"The first 10 minutes of the first episode was captivating. The idea that humans can be kidnapped as a host to cordyceps is a good premise. But it turned into The Walking Dead. Its about the journey, the battles, the psychos.

Two things to take away from shows like these: If an apocalyptic event does happen and there are a few survivors, humans will turn on each other. E.g., toilet paper in covid times. Humans are idiots. When the planet is about to be taken over by mushrooms and zombies with no civilized convenience in sight, why do people insist on surviving? What's the next step? Make more humans and eventually live underground and drink distilled piss?

Anyway, just a reminder: athletes foot is fungal. Not too long now before the fungi slowly make every cell of the human body smell like old decomposing havianas.",4

"Really enjoyed this movie, then Sean Bean who starred in Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship, brings up the meeting of Elrond!!

The suspension of disbelief gone, film ruined, still managed to enjoy a little of the film with Matt Damon wooden acting, I thought his performance was better on Interstellar as he's better at playing menacing characters rather than Tom Hanks carbon copy from Castaway and Apollo 13 (which is a true story).

Overall Martian was very static movie, the Mars landscape shots looked like it was recorded in the Western United States using a orange sunset filter, where's the odyssey, where's the journey, why are the space suits as bad as Prometheus, thin neoprene with egg dome helmet, which are the most vulnerable part of space suit!

This movies only saving grace was its scientific technical accuracy but after the dismantling of the Large Nasa launch pads and no political or public will to goto Mars is there anything believable in this film??

Where is the retroness of the great Alien and Blade Runner of Ridley Scott?",4

"Once again, The Russo's have proved their prowess in making excellent superhero films. The story was magnificent! Each character had their own little arc for them to develop in, unlike in most movies, where too many characters means little development for other characters, but this movie pulled it off with grace! And let me say that airport scene, and any other action scene in this film, OH MY GOD! The choreography was spot on. Every fight has emotional depth. I can feel myself almost crying at some points. And SPIDERMAN! This Spiderman was the best Spiderman and the best Peter Parker I saw on screen to DATE! And Black Panther, I haven't forgot about him, he was great too! This movie is just so near perfect, it's unbelievable. And now let me address all those fanboys calling me and other reviewers Marvel biased fanboys for giving this movie a high score. IT DESERVES IT. This was a payoff of 8 years of hard work. It's everything Batman v Superman isn't.

So in concusion. It was Amazingly, Spectacularly Great. 10/10 would see, would see again, would buy, and would die for. Thank you Russo Brothers, for bringing my childhood fantasies to life.",10
"Iron Man 2 is the worst waste of digital film I've seen all year. I enjoy bad movies, but nobody should have standards this low. I actually walked out of it. Three times. Atomic Twister wasn't this bad. Don't waste your money seeing it in the theatre. If you must, see it secretly at home, after the Rifftrax is out.

This is what happens when property holders know people will see a movie anyway, so they don't need to irresponsibly spend investor money on things like a script, soundtrack, or special effects. You might as well see Escape From New York again instead, it has better special effects and more thought and story in it.

That chick who was in all the ads, Scarlett Johansson, isn't even in the movie in any significant way. That was just a PR plot to gauge interest in a potential perpetually put-off ripoff spin off. This movie does not contain boobies, and even the curse words are beeped out, gratuitously. It's like watching a low rent Transformers with all the sexy stuff stripped off.

They didn't bother trying to make Moscow look authentic. They did keep Mickey Rourke looking authentic. Mickey Rourke is the only good thing in the film, and he's supposed to be the bad thing! If you're a fan of Mickey Rourke, or any other actors in this film, go see any of their other movies again instead of this one.",2
"My Rating : 4/10

Extremely average movie, OK for a one-time viewing.

The high ratings are absolutely fake according to me. The story also has been embellished to confuse the facts for cinematic effect. A real downer!

I am not 'H-A-P-P-Y' after watching it - that's for sure!",4
"The movie does nothing to get it's audience to get to know the characters, even Sandra Bullock's character. None of the characters were ever introduced, If you do not know who the actors were, Conley and Bullock, you would not feel attached to them at all. The visual effects were good and there was a semi-solid use of physics concepts, but it missed out on so much. The sun is not yellow, we see it as yellow because of the atmosphere, which in space is nonexistent. The movie should have had an introduction to it. If you watch this film on the big theater with 3D glasses, you might like it, but as soon as you buy it to own, it will loose 70% of it's value as the movie is mostly a visual spectacle no plot or story to be praised for.",5
"This is a film for lovers of cinematography trickery and directorial hubris. The ""one-shot"" affectation is attention grabbing, but ultimately it's to the detriment of the film itself.

The actual substance of the film and especially the script tends way more towards the melodramatic than the dramatic, and this is a crucial mistake in how weighty the film ends up feeling.

These some decent acting, but unfortunately it's not from the leads. Specifically Mark Strong and Benedict Cumberbatch shine in their small but quite memorable roles.

Overall, for all its hype and acclaim so far, it's an empty exercise in cinematic trickery.",4
This show is probably one of worst shows that I've watched. The funny part is that there is no funny part and jokes are so lame. Atleast add a pinch of entertainment instead of just laughing sounds in background that would made it much better. They just wanted a 90min of movie to be stretched into an whole show. I don't understand how people are finding it entertaining. Looking at the reviews makes me question the reality if the reviews are real or are paid ones.,1
"The movie is a treat for the senses in every way. Visual, auditory, and fairly exciting. I enjoyed the movie (seen in 3D) and rank it fairly high in terms of good science fiction.

**SPOILER** **SPOILER** An issue I have is with one aspect of the movie that ignores the laws of physics, yet this aspect becomes a plot point from which all else follows. I'm guessing many (most?) won't know, notice, care about this - but those of us with a science background will catch it immediately.

When Bullock and Clooney overshoot the ISS and Bullock gets entangled in the Soyuz parachute cord, Clooney (still tethered to Bullock) zips by but then, as the tether reaches its max length, he is jerked to a halt. The reality is this would have triggered a shift in momentum back along the vector he was traveling - he would have ""bounced"" as it were and been pushed back towards Bullock. End of story, so the writers ignored this (see Newton's Laws). Even if the event portrayed was accurate, we clearly see that all of Clooney's momentum has been negated. So at that point, both Bullock and Clooney have zero momentum (relative to each other, relative to the ISS). At that point - Bullock could have grabbed the parachute line and pulled (momentum towards the ISS would be the result) or could have grabbed the tether and pulled Clooney towards her or Clooney might have been able to get out of the jetpack, give it a good push away from himself, and once again be pushed towards Bullock as he gained momentum in the opposite direction. In all cases - the 2 could have easily made it to the ISS. It would have been a better story in my opinion - killing off Clooney was just a plot device to give Sandra an ""all alone"" aspect.

There are several other flaws in how physics is ignored in the movie - but they are much more technical and it is a movie after all. Most would not notice.",7
"I do think that Tom Cruise is doing a better job of acting over all, BUT, this entire movie is nothing but clichés. The dialog is more like an SNL skit. The first mach 10.3 flight and the plane disintegrates and somehowTom just walks into a cafe', really ? Aren't his rescue crews looking for him, is it smart to just walk off from a crash landing ?? The flying sequences were very good indeed, but flying loosey goosey is very unmilitary. Many flying stunts were way too close for any training scenarios. These Tom Cruise movies seem more like a vehicle for his showing his dare devil exploits, then a serious drama about pilots and their usually unknown adventures, both success and failures.",2
Dialogues are a class apart...that rocket - satellite analogy with life by Sandeep bhaiya was so perfect...this series shows us how much we left behind while chasing our dreams..the sacrifices..commendable work by tvf.,8
"Season 1 was fantastic, season 2 was good, season 3 like everything else in Hollywood - went woke. It's now a political statement wrapped up in a super hero show. BLM/Antifa good - white men evil. Yawn..... can't these idiots come up with something original? Also there is far too much Seth Rogan in season 3. He sucks and was never very funny - just high and stupid.",5
"Totally forgettable. Can't remember much about this film. It made no impression on me. I was surprised to learn that Anne Hathaway and McCounehy we're in it. I do not remember them. It's the story. The story was not interesting. I can tell you the Star Wars story. The 2001 story. Even The Arrival plot. But not this one. Almost nothing. It was about nothing, I guess.",5
Charcter development was a disappointment. Where do i start? The tostured underdog is punished. The stupid huge bully is rewarded. Iscest is celebrated. And don't get me started on that monkey. Why would anyone remain silent when the whole family is falling apart...A truly dumb charater.,1
"The three dumbest things in the world are Keanu Reeves, action movies, and music videos. So now, here's an action movie starring Keanu Reeves that's shot like a music video. I am overwhelmed by the accumulated dumbness.

Imagine PAYBACK with Mel Gibson, only without the wit, guts, human suffering, and wisdom. And Mel's been replaced by Tab Hunter, Frankie Avalon, or someone like that.

Imagine THE REPLACEMENT KILLERS, only without the romance, elegance, tension, and simmering sexual heat. There's no Mira Sorvino here, and Chow Yun Fat has been replaced by Beavis and Butthead.

All through this movie, there are moments that are laugh out loud stupid, where the film makers clearly expect the viewers to fall into a worshipful stupor and start jacking their bones. Wow, look how fast that car is going! Man, that is a sharp looking car! I am getting so hot now, just looking at that car! And the music is so LOUD, man. LOUD MUSIC MAKES ME SO HOT! And now guys are getting killed! Man, I love to see guys getting killed. LOUD MUSIC CARS GUITARS GUNSHOTS OH MY GOD I'm COMING RIGHT NOW!!!!

And of course, Our Hero must look ""cool"" at all times. He can't just take his guns out of the closet. No, he has to take a SLEDGE HAMMER and SMASH the floor to dig out his old guns! So cool!!! And when the bad guys are coming, he has to put on a sharp, three-piece suit, with cuff links, so he can fist fight and pistol his way around. I mean, a ripped t-shirt and jeans might be better, yes? To move fast and have quick reflexes? But no, it's so much COOLER to watch him put on a suit and tie.

With all that going on, take some time to notice the sadness on the faces of all these veteran actors. There's that old black guy from THE WIRE -- he looks almost grateful to be getting killed after five minutes. There's Willem Defoe -- he still hasn't forgiven himself for making all those Spider Man movies.

Oh, but it's not just aging has-beens who are being humiliated here. Who's that good looking young chap running through the crowded disco in a towel? Can it be . . . can it be . . . it's Alfie ""THEON GREJOY"" Allen. Did you see him running through the crowd, looking like a goofball? No? Let's slow it down! How many minutes of Alfie running in a towel do we need to see? But it's okay, he's got tons of music blasting away. And it's LOUD!

I really wanted Keanu to ask Alfie, ""did you pay the IRON PRICE for that car you stole?"" And then Alfie's last words could have been, ""what is dead may never die!""",2
"There Will Be Blood is one of those uniquely modern breed of films that, despite excelling in all the technical aspects of movie production, falls flat in terms of storytelling.

It starts out strongly enough, with a largely wordless, 10-minute prelude depicting the slow rise of Day-Lewis' character, Daniel Plainview, into scheming oil magnate. It's an excellent, absorbing opening, taking its cues from silent films given the relative lack of dialogue, also benefiting from crisp cinematography and a driving, intense soundtrack. These last two elements continue throughout the length of the film, with the bizarre yet strangely fitting score especially standing out. Would that the story could measure up.

It certainly tries; you can feel director Paul Thomas Anderson straining to create some big, bilious, Kubrickian epic about America, but the mostly restricted scope falters. Part of it is just how bizarre the two main characters Plainview and Sunday really are. Plainview, as portrayed by Day-Lewis, barely shows any sign of humanity; he's more of a 1900s Terminator with an accent almost as outlandish as Arnold's. Dano's Sunday is a slimy wimp, who, despite his energetic, over-the-top religious theatrics, can't even escape a drunken Plainview lurching about a bowling alley.

Is this a drama? There's not much terribly dramatic about the cash grabs of a preacher and a capitalist, and they both barely change over the 2.5-hour film. Is it a tragedy? No, I felt little to no emotion at the death of Sunday and the ultimate fate of Plainview; both got what they wanted in a way and that was that. Maybe it qualifies as a farce, but then it's a farce with delusions of grandeur, and quite an overrated one anyway.

Infamously, the film No Country for Old Men beat out There Will Be Blood at the Oscars, leading to the laughable assumption in some people that 2007 was one of the best years for movies EVER. Simply because this purported masterpiece was released the same year as a better film.

No Country for Old Men did present a similar nihilistic theme, but the Coens presented nihilism itself as more of an abnormality, something unnatural like a foreign infection. Anderson, on the other hand, seems to be presenting it as normality; there's nothing he cares more about showing other than the greed and manipulation of the two main buffoons. It's only until around two hours have passed that he creates a figure of hope in Plainview's deaf 'son' H. W. (the only person in whom business and religion can exist in a rational form) but by then it's too late. Had the son been the main character the story might have had more appeal as a type of American Dickens, but all Anderson does is revel in the worst of humanity, which is hardly the profound perspective many seem to think it is. It doesn't take some great genius to know that people are generally selfish and greedy, and it certainly isn't interesting when that's all a story really has going for it.

Some words must be said about Paul Thomas Anderson at this point. Apparently, many people have gotten it into their heads that he's some great visionary, a modern auteur. Fair to some degree, since he displays an apt technical prowess, but I'm not sure what personal perspective he brings to There Will Be Blood as well as his other films. What can you tell of his personality or character through his films? What ideas does he develop across his filmography? What are his trademarks; what does he do well or poorly? (Things like 'ensemble cast', 'family drama' and 'California' are all rather typical). Ultimately I think he's just another guy who, having been born into the movie-making business, makes movies. He doesn't seem so terribly interesting beyond that.",4
"How would you not want to, but Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 - The most awaited film premieres in 2010. Beginning were only waiting for the true film fans, and the usual audience had no idea that he would soon find himself in the fascinating world of dreams. Shrek's waited all this and would like the final, but even the most devoted fans wanted to see exactly Potter. And Harry was one competitor in this unequal war, but the Twilight that time had a crowd of anti-fans, and, frankly, the film failed. Oh yeah, by the way half of all those special women not so long ago fanatic from the boy in the glasses, hence the conclusion: all waiting for Potter. To laugh, to surprise, to pass the evening to see half-naked Radcliffe. In general, the reasons are many - the movie alone. And this movie before you.

The entire saga of a simple boy started perfectly with children's books and stories. There was no drama, at least it was not so noticeable. If Harry and was sad that only parents, but the universal problem not his concern. Anyone he did not like, but no one, and not hated. But he grew up and grew older. It is true that Harry himself to younger actors playing his role and gives here is not a game, a trivial features of male face. By the way, and Hermione something prettier from film to film. And Ron and all the boy-bull. Overgrown, unshaven. But it's not in it, and that the final part would have to show us the drama. And all this was going.

Titled book shows us the real drama. It had everything: from human relations to the great battles outlined. And a thorough study of Nutra characters and love heroes. And anyway, there was a lot of things are mixed, but it's not about the book and the movie, which is sounding name - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Idea to divide the book into two parts, liking a lot. And it is not surprising, since previous screening was blamed for their dissimilarity with the original text. But here, we got what we wanted, though the book was not divided evenly. The second part promises mere unbridled epic and beautiful effect, but now everything is on the first part.

Of the plot do not want to say, because those 20-plus chapters transferred appallingly-apocryphal. Yes, the reason of all - desire for money. It is no secret that the drama Yates did just action. There is no dramatic images of the main characters, and quarrels as if from scratch. Love line Hermione and Ron all of a sudden disappeared and never appeared. Frequent displeasure Dumbledore gave way to dry a pair of similar phrases that have only a trivial sense, like: ""Oh, how it's bad that we did not say anything."" About Rita Skitter and its articles of speech is not at all, but in fact they forced to question the clean white mag. Many times povycherkival quite ugly. For example, a conversation Dudley and Harry in the book truly makes you think, but here it is not at all. The Ministry of Magic at a wedding in the beginning of the story, talk about stick and krestrazha, uncertainty about the pop Harry Deathly Hallows, and finally, loving languor of Jeannie - it is all or none, or shown ugly-honest. No drama at all, but all show reduced fine words and disaffected persons heroes.

Well they showed their faces? Not to say that much, but Ron does not look at the age of eighteen and believe in what he became so evil simply can not, because in the book, this process took, if not half of the book, the couple heads for sure. Blame the actors in it, but do not even pulled the film. Helena Bonham Carter and Ralph Fiennes - two real genius. That they should praise and love. They did this picture of a beautiful and vibrant, thanks to its superb, amazing game. Another good Bill Nighy in the image of Rufus Scrimgeour, but very sorry that it so early was killed.

The entire film is like the only one - then, as the plot. It looks good and looks stylistically-perfect. Dark colors, dark music. Echoes of humor almost everywhere, but laughter can bring only seven Potters In all other important points erased and nothing but a dance tent, a separate thank you very much. It was excellent, to the point and most importantly - moving to madness.

Yes, as a film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 - not the best option, but as just a film - excellent beautiful, bright sight. Partly, of course, is not all clear, and those who read the book (I, incidentally, one of them) are likely to watch this movie out of curiosity and rejoice for the fact that the saga will end is not so. I recommend watching, not reading books, and walked seven films in a row. The effect is guaranteed. But fans of this wonderful story about a simple guy with a funny round glasses I wish only that the wait is not as long, and that Yates will consist of 10-15 chapters present a feast of visual, stylistic and conceptual ideas.",6
"This is so refreshing & satisfying to watch. More such shows are needed in the present era of meaningless remakes. Yet again, well done TVF!!",9
TV show concept blow my mind.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.,9
"This really should be categorized as a kid's film like Spy Kids. I've never been a Marvel fan, but I have to admit some of their movies were pretty good. My personal favorites are the Captain America and Guardians of the Galaxy series. What I like about Captain American movies is how they try to make them more ""believable,"" have some level of suspension of disbelief. It reminds me of Michael Keaton's Batman when it first came out.

Now, Spiderman really wasn't one of my favorites because it sounded ridiculous. However, the first trilogy with Toby wasn't too bad, well the 3rd movie was just ludicrous. I never saw the one with Garfield nor the first 2 of this series. However, I decided to watch this one after reading the synopsis and I wanted to see some CGI magic in de-aging the older actors. I was not disappointed with this.

But overall this movie proved the point why I chose not to watch the rest of this series along to why I avoid most Marvel movies. Ironman 1 was alright, 2 was actually far more entertaining but what I liked about 1 again is how they try to make it somewhat believable in realism. By the time we get to 3 it was just a joke and in the multiverse and this ""nano"" tech suit, I just turned it off.

I'm getting to my point. So this is suppose to be Spiderman, yet he has an Ironman nano suit now? I mean, how stupid is that? Yeah, I know they had some plot element that lead to it, but all this does for ""good writing"" is watering it down to cliches. It is unimaginative, uncreative, and just copy copy copy. I mean, same thing happened in Transformers when Megatron turned into another nano-tech. Remember how awesome it was in the 1st Transformers when Optimus Prime transformed and we watched all the gears and mechanical components move? Same thing with Ironman 1?

Nano-tech is not awesome, it is CHEAP CGI, and furthermore it is an insult to intelligence. Nano is a measurement, 1 billionths of a meter. You can't actually see it. In these movies, you can clearly see large lego blocks. That's not even nano. The only sci-fi that did nano correctly is Star Trek Voyager, nano is microscopic. Borgs inject nanobots into people's bloodstream to alter them on a cellular level.

Anyways, plot and storywise, this is really a kiddy film. It is fun for kids, but their target audience is adults so I can't give more than a 4 out of 10.",4
"While the special effects and story lines are greatly improved from the under-whelming first Spider-Man movie they alone can't make this movie worth your money. The strongest points of this movie were in the supporting roles of Aunt Mae, Dr. Octavius (before he turned evil) and of course Harry Osborn. They were the only characters that acted like actual human being in this movie and the only actors that didn't just chew up their words and spit them out.

For me the real problem with this movie is that it accomplishes nothing that wasn't a part of the first film. All the themes of the original are just redone here, and for no apparent reason. We learned from the first movie that 'With great power comes great responsibility' and that 'there's a hero in all of us'.

So why is the sequel not trying to cover any new territory? Peter loves MJ but they can't be together…um why? Obviously her life is in danger already so what would it hurt to tell her? Peter is reluctant to become Spider-Man and struggles to use his powers, yeah that happens again to. The news paper irrationally hates Spider-Man yet Peter sells them pictures for only $300?!?! Paparazzi photographers can get THOUSANDS of dollars for a picture of Brad Pitt or Madonna or Britney Spears, so why is the clown only making $300?

All in all if you liked the first movie you'll like this one more. If you thought the first one was lame, you should save your money and just rent Hellboy or X-men 2, which are both superior super hero films.",1
"I am about to become a pariah amongst my friends. I am a fan of movies in general, a fan of comics overall, and a big fan of comic movies. Having just returned from ""The Dark Knight,"" I can now say that this movie is not worthy of the absolute obedience and hype that has surrounded it since Heath's unfortunate demise.

Make no mistake, Heath's performance was brilliant and suitably creepy and zany--as the Joker ought to be. This is, in my opinion, his finest role and portrayal, and he will no doubt receive a best supporting actor Oscar (and had he lived, I'm sure he still would receive this award.) Mr. Bale's performance was....well, the same as ""Batman Begins,"" that is to say: gruff and gravely while in-costume, and idle playboy when not...which a touch of golden heart. More of the same of what we have previously seen. Nothing new to report.

The rest of the cast was as good as could be hoped.

People are giving this movie a very high score, and to be utterly honest, this isn't worthy of such praise. Heath was absolutely wonderful, other than that this is pretty much a wash for average.

I was entertained, which is great; but this isn't the be-all of cinema and most certainly does not deserve the #1 spot. There are better movies out there.

I give this a ""6"", which isn't a bad score to give; but it isn't as high as what many have given. This means only one thing: they are deluded. They're giving the score out of remorse for the loss of Heath, not for the film as it is.

In the end, ""The Dark Knight"" is good, but just not great.",6
"If I have to say in one word then it'd be MASTERPIECE. It can very well be a classic...a cult classic like Border. This movie doesn't portray blatant Jingoism but strikes the right chords of patriotism with maintaining the right balance. It is so well done that you'd crave for more even if it ends. Everyone performed very well and Vicky Kaushal was stunning. The movie is very inspiring and everyone especially the young generation should watch it to know what the army men do for them. The movie is not political at all but yellow media will try to demean it for 'certain' reasons. I still can't get over the top notch screenplay, direction, background scores, visuals and performances. A straight 9.5/10 (or may be 10/10 if I don't be skeptical) from me.",10
"I knew the history of Dunkirk going into the movie, however I was surprised by the lack of action in the film. Spent hours waiting for something big to happen and nothing ever does. Everything that happensthroughout the movie is very predictable. While It does draw some emotion at a few points, It doesn't give you enough context to feel attached to any character.

The fact that It has a four point higher rating from critics than Saving Private Ryan on IMDB is inexplicable. I had extremely high expectations because of this and was severely let down. It wasn't bad, but It was far from spectacular.",5
"A big fan of Paddy Considine's East Midlands hard-man schtick, I was gutted to see him playing the King in this show without the distinctive regional accent that we all love him for. Sean Bean shone (briefly) with his Yorkshire brogue in the original series. The only reason I can guess for Paddy not speaking in his legendary Nottingham-ese here, is that American producers feared that fans in the US would struggle to understand it. That mistake has led to an inauthenticity at the heart of this show for which it will be forever punished. The other reason this show fails is the lack of humour. It's just not funny. Boo.",2
Best war movie and direction and visual effect is awesome. Salute to Indian army and big salute to BJP Narendra modi for taking such a big decision.,10
"With Starks alter ego Iron Mans status well and truly established on the world, a new terror is rising in Ivan Vanko. Mickey Rourke plays the cold hearted Vanko, distant, undisturbed and focused on nothing but his mission. The mission to avenge his father and pay a dept he believes the Stark family owe. Much like the first movie the light hearted charm remains in Stark and Pepper. Iron Man 2 is a rollercoaster ride. Stark is unwilling to give up his technology and weapons now the world knows he is Iron Man and arrogant in his beliefs that the rest of the world is nowhere near in designing a battle suit close to his. Expert research must have been made because because Robert Downey Jr is the personification of Stark and Iron Man. Each character has been perfectly cast for this movie. Mickey Rourke is excellent as the Russian hell bent on revenge a vendetta that goes back to his father being exiled from stark industries. Don Cheadle is now playing Rhodes and although I prefer Terrace Howard in this role Don Cheadle is worthy of the part as war machine. Reluctant to dulvage the secrets of his technology Stark is boastful and makes more enemies in fellow business man Justin Hammer. Overall the film is similar to the first and doesn't really bring nothing new to the table, but I'd say Rourke has more screen time than Jeff Bridges had in the first film and made for a more compelling villain. The effects and locations make for an all round well thought out movie and although the story has no real twist it has enough to keep viewers watching.",8
If you get a chance to watch this for free.....don't.,1
"Did not enjoy the pacing, it rushed when wanted it to linger and it was to long. Cant think of anything it actually took its time on.

Reynolds is still great and he and ""millie"" the female actors dont know the name of was really good.",4
"The movie is very intriguing and entertaining throughout.

Rian Johnson has managed to assemble a talented cast. Everyone plays their part perfectly. This movie sidelines Daniel Craig's character the famed Benoit Blanc, rather Janelle Monae's character arc get a good exposure this time around. But that's a good thing. Don't expect this to be a murder mystery. I mean, there is a murder that's need to be unveiled, but the overall tone does not adhere to that.

It also has cameos from Serena Williams. Hugh Grant and Ethan Hawke to name a few.

Overall not a bad flick. A good watch but not as good as the previous one which quite frankly caught everyone by surprise due to it's fresh screenplay and wonderful writing.",8
"The Witcher seems to be a good show to cling to. Based on a series of novels by Andrzej Sapkowski and Przemyslaw Truscinski ""The Witcher"" takes you to a trip to fantasy land.

Its remarkable how the writers force you to watch the next episode specially the last few episodes of the first season ending at a cliffhanger.

Henry Cavill did an amazing job, Anya Chalotra's character Yennefer of Vengerberg saw a major character development throughout the series.

All in all the show is worth watching if you're into fantasy and mystical creatures",8
"The story isn't logical enough and the pacing of the storytelling is too slow for my liking. I might have sat through the whole thing if it was somewhat pleasant to watch, but I didn't get any entertainment from it.",3
"An old-fashioned Hollywood movie with great performances and exciting racing sequences.

Them testing the car and clashing with Ford executives is fine, but the movie really is at its best when it focuses on racing. Even then, the performances from Bale and Damon are so good that they make even the rockiest parts of movie watchable.

The third act is so much fun it mostly makes up for many problems I might have had with the build-up.

It feels like the movie is a big allegory for movie studio interference and how it can prevent greatness. I like that, even if even comes with the cost of makong the Ford and Ferrari execs feel like cartoon villains, but then again, old-fashioned Hollywood movie.

This was a lot fun.",7
"The 4 stars I'm giving this movie are not for the story or for the ending for them I would rate with 1 star This rating is for the whole picture, the acting was good and the movie type is unusual so for me there are efforts to be appreciated and thus my rating is 4 Would I recommend it? Never",4

"Masoom (1983) : Brief Review -

Shekhar Kapur debuts with an Unforgettable Emotional Masterpiece on battle between Immature's Innocence vs Mature's Misdeed. Masoom will stab into your heart like a sharp knife and will make you cry like anything but this won't kill you. Only Shekhar Kapur could have brought this unconventional topic in Bollywood and make it look convenient. An unconventional theme like a married man having a son from another woman becomes conventional because of Shekhar Kapur's conviction about what's the mistake of the Child? He hasn't done anything wrong, he's innocent so he shouldn't be getting punishment for the sins of his father. Gulzar adapted an English novel smartly and transformed it into mainstream Indian cinema story but he wrote it poetically. The emotional portion of Masoom isn't limited to just one scene in the climax but it actually begins much before somewhere halfway through the film. I had to count and forget counting to remember how many times i cried while watching this Masterpiece. Naseeruddin Shah deserved the Best Actor award for Masoom and Shabana Azmi again shines equally. The child artists Jugal Hansraj, Urmila Matondkar and Aradhana Srivastav look very adorable and provide natural acts. R. D. Burman win Best Music Award but Masoom Music album is much more worthy and timeless than the Filmfare Award. 'Lakdi Ki Kaathi' is childhood anthem and 'Tujhse Naraz Nahi' is heart-wrenching. Masoom is blessed by an awesome screenplay because the script doesn't offer anything extraordinary, it is screenplay that makes it look incredible with smartly written conflicts and linking of emotions to children as well as adults. Like I said before, it is a battle between Innocence of an Immature vs Misdeeds of Mature adults. It sounds so freaking amazing even while reading, ain't it? Shekhar Kapur made 3 Hindi films in his career and all 3 are Classics but if i have to choose his best then i will choose his debut film 'Masoom'. I believe an artist gives his 100% to his first project and many directors have delivered thier best films in Debut. Shekhar Kapur is that one Director. His vision to make Masoom was outstanding. Masoom neither ahead of time nor it is outdated, rather ot is a story that will never end because it will keep happening to people always. Masoom will squeeze your heart and will soak your eyes with tears, this will be applied on everyone, everyone means everyone no matter if you are Weak Hearted, Sentimental, Cold Hearted or have piece of Rock instead of heart. A Masterpiece !

"Just like many people here, I heard great stories about this movie. I expected a way better movie, and was quite disappointed. The storyline is empty and doesn't really get you anywhere. The reason why this movie stayed on my mind was mainly because of the music. The feeling I think they wanted to create didn't get to me through the movie itself, but through the music. The visuals/cinematography are/is great, which made it for me still a pleasant movie to watch in the end, but definitely not because of the storyline. Although I am going to keep listening to the music, I definitely don't want to watch this movie ever again.",6
"There are so many shows based on same idea and same style. This show seems like the blend of lot of previous shows. I am Legend, that Zombie tv series, I dont remember the name and many others.

Its like marval movies , you get tired after a while because you do know what to expect and that realisation is what made a show bad.

Trailer felt so familiar like story has been told before and if director unable to come up with a promising trailer, its hard to take a leap of faith to watch something.

Probably its an age factor where I tend to watch a whole series within 2 hours by fast forwarding. Losing interest is much easy than establishing it without verification why one.",2

"Title, I nice light hearted not too serious in the sleuth department film.

If you are expecting a real clever ""whodunnit"" then it may disappoint bit its a very enjoyable hour and a half.

Adam Sandler has done some great films, he has also done some not so great films, this is a good one.

Jenifer Aniston has already proved herself as a really good comedic film actress and not just a one shot wonder with the long running Friends, I have only see her in a few films, meet the millers being my favourite of hers, but Sandler and Aniston make a really truly believable on screen couple, they compliment each other well.

Turn off your brain, settle down to a movie with pretty settings and pretty good acting from the whole cast and just some good old fashioned light hearted entertainment.

Thoroughly enjoyed.",6
"I usually don't mind a bit of cheese, and do enjoy my fair share of silly, light hearted comedies, however, the amount of times the product 'Claritin' was brought up in the movie, felt so out of place, and made this whole movie seem like an extended glorified Claritin Advert, which I found hard to look pass.",2
"RDJ is definitely no Benedict Cumberbatch, however, if you're able to get past his horrible and confusing British accent, he plays Sherlock pretty well. Jude Law's performance is much stronger as Watson, except he's no Martin Freeman either. The movie's story is great and entertaining, there is some humourous moments, some impressive action set pieces (which are unnecessary for a Sherlock Holmes movie but still fun and somehow work) and a great performance from Mark Strong (but that's hardly a positive about this movie, as Strong is great at everything he does). Ultimately, if you're a massive fan of the TV show, then lower your expectations, it's nowhere near as good but still entertaining. But if you haven't seen the TV show or aren't a huge fan of it (which is highly unlikely as the show is one of the greatest ever made), then you'll love this movie. I will say, if you felt a bit disappointed, still watch the sequel, A Game Of Shadows. It's about 10 times better.",6
"Series were really well made in first 5 eps, however later it turns into stupid boring final.. if you build a tension you should have a good climax but finish here was really bad. 7 for wanda vision character fans, 5 for others",6
"I find unbelievable that so many people give this movie a 10, I'm in absolute awe - all the insane bla bla about the cinematography, the story line etc, hard to believe we saw the same movie.

This movie is sooooo unrealistic it hurts, effect were equally bad and those cheesy all-American lines pfff. Sandra Bullock is a good actress though she makes some terrible choices especially the comedy's. Really was hoping for some of her former glory with all the nominations ..

After reading some of the reviews i got excited thought i was going to be a great space movie. I really don't get what other people see in this???

Don't waste your time if you have any intelligence...",1
"I loved this so much. The pacing was amazing. Tons of mindblowing plot twists, though one of them was predictable. The music is so creepy and well done. This film gave me dozens of goosebumps. The only thing I did not like was the stupid police chief woman, she's beyond annoying and I doubt she'd be like that in real life since she's doing everything against the case and in real life if you were as egoistic as her you'd still want to close the case cause it might give a promotion or recognition or something, here she just tried her hardest to not solve it.",7
"Not perfect (especially script filling: unnecessarily long dramatic pauses and debates between characters) but definitely left me wanting to know what happens next. Plot close enough to original to give hope, but far enough from it to leave imagination spinning.",8
"This was bizarre. A lot of playing around with light effects but without technical finesse or any point. My gosh, this is awful. I don't believe in IMDb ratings from here on. This terrible flick gets above 6! Why? Because people are paid to rate it 10, 9, 8, or 7 when it should never receive anything above 5, which I would never hand it 'cause it's a waste of precious time.",2
"never thought i will get another nice series with nice superhero related stuff..this is just awesome..after they cut shot heroes and no-ordinary family, small ville ending...i thought is was over, and here now look we have a yet even more awesome one..if u are no fun of superhero stuff, don't criticize and let fans watch in peace,,,ALL IN ALL THIS IS COOL,,hope the future episodes turnout even better, the series is sure to have a big in the series world soon as more marvel fans get a chance to see it..also the fact that they have used a character from the avengers movie makes one want to see more of what is to come ....LETS GO MARVEL LETS GO (IKE)!!!!",9
"I enjoyed ""The 40-Year-Old Virgin,"" but didn't feel it was entirely worthy of all the enormous acclaim it garnered. And for all the praise ""Knocked Up"" received, I thought it was fairly average. So I wasn't expecting much from ""Superbad."" However, I'd have to say it's the smartest and funniest Apatow film yet. I know he didn't direct it, but his influence is distinct. And in the past I've felt indifferent towards Apatow's brand of humour, but combined with Rogen's sensitivity towards the teen condition here, it works really well.

People have compared it to John Hughes' better teen comedies, but I don't think the approach is entirely similar. ""Superbad"" is cruder, ruder, a bit more focused on the sex & alcohol jokes. But it works really well because it captures that dynamic - better than ""American Pie"" because it invests more care into its characters. One of the strengths of ""Pie"" over other films in its genre (such as, say, ""Slackers"") has always been its characters, and ""Superbad"" similarly relies on its characters for support. Plus, it's just really funny.

The performances all around are pretty funny, even if the Fogell/McLovin pop culture references are ruining a good joke (kind of like ""Yeah, baby!!"" ruined Austin Powers when 20-year-old frat boys around the country thought it would be funny to shout the phrase every five seconds).

Jonah Hill and Michael Cera have great chemistry and another one of the strengths of this film is that its teenage characters actually do look their age (even though Hill is in his early 20s, he still passes as a senior). But it was Bill Hader and Seth Rogen who stole the show for me as the clueless cops.

Overall this is just a funny, well-made film with heart. It doesn't mock its characters or their predicaments but casts a knowing eye on the high school experience. It captures all this very well and was certainly, in my opinion, far superior to ""Knocked Up.""",8
"Well, I'm not as sassy as The Girl. Thus, i provide some reasons for it! Here are the reasons why you should watch ""My Sassy Girl""!!!:

-it's funny! (the acting, the facial expression,the plot and specially all of my favorite train (barf & bet), motel, theme park, story telling and their parents scenes!)

-it's naughty! (the acting by Cha Tae-hyun and part of the editing are TRICKY with a twist of SCI-FI!)

-it's beautiful! (the film score, the cinematography, the scenic views and Jun Ji-hyun, of course!)

-it's innocent! (the acting and the love between Cha Tae-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun and the beauty of Jun Ji-hyun)

-it's crazy! (the series of unexpected events happen in the movie)

-it's wacky! (the character which is played by Jun Ji-hyun)

-it's natural! (the acting by the cast and the beauty, the compositing, the smile and the tears of Jun Ji-hyun)

-it's sweet! (the love, the smile and the interaction between Cha Tae-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun)

-it's romantic! (my favorite piano playing Canon in D major scene! this is not your so-called average love story and it's romantic in an unexpected way!)

-it's touching! (the score, the movie, mountain, balcony, 10 date rules scenes and the ending that i always weep over for several times!)

-it's refreshing! (neither a typical nor ordinary romantic love flick!)

-it's superb! it's excellent! it's tremendous! it's fascinating! it's captivating! It's perfect! (the MOVIE, the CAST, the ACTING, the DIRECTOR, the CREW, Jun Ji-hyun, Cha Tae-hyun, their EFFORT, the SCREENPLAY, the MUSIC, the CINEMATOGRAPHY, the ONE-TAKE balcony scene and everything!)

-it's SASSY! (explanation is unnecessary because it's SASSY!)

-it's LOVE! (well, watch it for yourself!)

-it's a CLASSIC! (no doubt due to its uniqueness and originality)

-it's a MUST WATCH! (don't ask me why!)

-it's my ALL TIME FAVORITE! (i just simply couldn't resist romance movie with a twist of comedy and SCI-FI! Too many favorite scenes inside the movie for me! It's absolutely my pot of Jjigae(Korean steamboat)!) Yum yum!

And here is my final advice - Just watch it and stop reading my review if you are a real movie lover! It's absolutely worth to be watched at least 3 times in lifetime. One alone, one with your beloved one and another one to enjoy seeking the hidden details which are nicely set-up by the director! OK, just watch it! Would you?

You won't be regret! But if you are regret after watching it, sorry for my terrible obsession with this movie or probably infatuation with Jun Ji-hyun!

""I met a man from the future."" & ""Fate is building a bridge of chance for someone you love."" are my favorite quotation from the movie!

Strongly and highly recommended! Too bad i can't rate it more than 10 out of 10! (Personally, i don't fancy Hollywood to be able to bring out the feeling and the message by remaking it!)",10
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier is simply BRILLIANT & exceptional in every way as it delivers the best, grittiest action I have seen so far in the Marvel Cinematic Universe! Marvel sure know how to deliver their films & please their audiences!

I have been waiting for this film since July 2011 & I am happy to say that my money was well spent! From the beginning till the end, the action scenes & the stunts made this film stand out from the previous films of MCU as they relied on CGI, but this film is a winner!

To be honest, I recommend this movie! At 136 minutes there isn't a single moment where you feel bored. As for the ending of the movie ... it makes you want more.

PS: Batman V Superman? Lol DC sure have their work cut out!!!!! They have got a lot of work to do if they are to replicate the success of Marvel!!!!

BRING IT!",10
"Weak Story, Weak Cast, even worse supporting characters 20 mins of special effects, 2 hours of cringe-inducing dialogue, Diana - our Juvenile protagonist who is willing to kill someone solely based on what her mother has told her instead of finding out the truth herself. The male protagonist is somewhat sane. The supporting characters are severely cliché and generic having NO performing role in the movie. The German facilities they are breaching seem to be guarded by a handful of soldiers - its borderline laughable how easily Wonder Woman and her band of muppets are able to overcome a key German Officer.

The movie suffers from overbearing cringy dialogue, some special effects and a story that you won't notice beginning and ending.

Skip this crap.",5
"Ok, am not a moon knight comic fan but I do like shows and movies based on comics. This one despite the serious dramatic angle of mental disorder, it felt extremely shallow and without depth. The directing and screenplay is so amateurish that I wished they hadn't approached this character until an experienced crew came along. Oscar Isaac is fun but appears in more than occasion out of his depth and almost cartoonish. I think they also forgot that Arabic speaking people will watch this, their choice of Arabic music is so baad and waaay off the dramatic tones or scene emotions. At first I would laugh at their choices during the show when I should be tense as per the scene, but later it got so annoying that I would mute or unplug my earphones just not to ruin whatever emotional connection I had (rarely) with the scene. Very poor editing, music, and flow. Good for time pass but nothing to recommend.",5
"Its somewhat difficult to regard this film as a black comedy so to speak since the humor is far too light and abundant, however in it (very little) are some rather serious and touching moments. Steven Chow does a fine job of directing and manages to make this hodgepodge of ""Looney tunes"" humor, added with a touch of Tarantino and ""Matrix"" work. In addition he plays the part as Sing , the ne'er-do-well who finds his calling but Wah Yuen and Qiu Yuen steal the show. The action and laughs are aplenty. Disregard the film's defiance for the law of physics, just sit back and enjoy what may be one of our finest in quite some time.Truly a gem. How I wish it would have found its audience.",10
"I have no problem with extreme violence or religion bashing, or just about anything else folks generally tag as ""offensive."" That's not the problem. It's just boring. The story is slow, the writing is lazy and the whole thing just drags along with minor unresolved conflicts that are not compelling but nagging and annoying. I don't understand why people like this, other than for the mild, cliched sexual themes. As has been suggested, there must be some reviews but it's still hard to understand how heavily weighted this is to the positive. Maybe it's a reflection of overall pop-culture deterioration. This product can serve as a historical signpost of that for sure. Otherwise, I couldn't make it past two and a half episodes.",1
"This is one of the rare cases of a sequel having more to say than its predecessor. This time a full investment is made in a visual world...here we have depth in addition to the width of the coverage: the proper dimensions of an empire.

The Corleone compound lies in unkempt disarray, like Charles Foster Kane's Xanadu, a museum of memories.

'Part II' is another coup for Willis' lighting and Coppola's ability to capture a world in this fashion; this time, everything, even the outdoor scenery, is defined by light and shadow.

Freed (mostly) from the shackles of the novel, Coppola could explore narrative. We seamlessly jump back and forth in time, following two story arcs with opposite conclusions; a third regression in time completes the equation.

This movie marks several turning points -- DeNiro, hot off of ""Mean Streets"" and ""Bang the Drum..."" would establish his method for good, squarely on top of Brando's method. And Pacino would establish the template for all of his future thunderings.",10
S1 is so intriguing and a fresh story.. well Haven't dared to watch after that coz of disastrous reviews,8
"Yes it's OK. Very dull until episode 4 when the story actually begins to become a little less predictable. The story is a blend of poltergeist meets underworld meets the goonies. Beautiful attention to details of the period but one can't help feel this attention has come at the expense of a consistent storyline. 011 is an excellent actress and deserves a huge amount of praise. We stuck with it until the end and it was enjoyable and I'm glad I watched it. However, it's once watched you probably wouldn't bother again. Its chewing gum for the eyes and sitting through it again would be akin to popping yesterday's gum back in. Still chewy enough to work your jaw but without any flavour.",5
"Barbie was an extremely fun movie that was entertaining and funny throughout the entire runtime of the movie. The jokes were witty, funny, well-written and did not impede on the tone of any serious moments. Barbie was for sure targeted for kids but made for adults to enjoy just as much as the little ones. The casting was phenomenal, every actor embodied their character, Margot Robbie is dynamite in her role delivering every line with sincerity and real feeling. Ryan Gosling was the epitome of Ken, fun, and lovable but he was also able to sublimely deliver emotions that one would not associate with Ken. With 2 powerful stars you would think that the secondary characters would be unnoteworthy, but Simu Liu, and Will Ferrell command the screen so remarkably, not to mention every other Barbie and Ken, and Allen too. All of this without even mention the cinematography and the breathtaking music which culminates into a delightful story that impressively tackles pretty serious issues.",10
"Stranger Things is a sci-fi horror series on Netflix created by the Duffer Brothers (Wayward Pines). I had been hearing nothing but praise for this eight part series from friends and family, and now I know why. It is a clever tribute to movies and TV series of the 80s.

In the small town of Hawkins, Indiana, in the year 1983, 12-year-old Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) mysteriously disappears one night. Will's mother Joyce (Winona Ryder), police chief Jim Hopper (David Harbour), and his three friends Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) and Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) set out to search for where he could have gone. To make matters more complicated, a strange girl with psychokinetic powers is discovered by Will's friends the following day. Could she hold the key to where Will may have vanished?

The series plays out as an affectionate homage to all the stereotypes and tropes of 1980s films such as E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Stand By Me and The Lost Boys. The theme song itself sounds like something composed by Director John Carpenter. I really enjoyed the sense of mystery and suspenseful atmosphere that was emanating throughout each episode. I must give credit to the Duffer Brothers for the way they were able to capture the overall feel of an 80s movie. The acting was great as well, especially from all of the child actors and Winona Ryder. I just hope the series will be picked up for a second season.

I rate the first season 8.5/10.",9
"Directed by Aneesh Chaganty. Starring John Cho, Debra Messing, Michelle La, Joseph Lee, Sara Sohn. (PG-13)

Unusual, gimmicky mystery thriller takes place almost exclusively on the screens of computers and cell phones, detailing the efforts of a distraught father (Cho) trying to find his missing daughter (La). The visuals are distracting at first, but as the story becomes more absorbing, they're easy to (almost) forgive and forget--there's just no sensible reason to present the narrative in these terms aside from technological commentary. Full of dead ends and red herrings, the sinuous suspense and Cho's credible central performance grab the viewer's attention and won't let go; those efforts are undermined, however, by a late twist so labored and unlikely that the film never recovers, souring the whole experience. From a technical and organizational standpoint, a rare tour de force that should never be attempted again.

"As a casual watcher of shows I don't normally do reviews but I felt the need on this one because it hits great and average at the same time

So...

Positives, once I started watching I felt like o needed to reach the end to find out what happened. The characters are interesting and played well, special mention to Robert Sheehan who added a lot of depth that the others didn't quite master.

Negative, if you are looking for a new twist on the super hero genre then you will be disappointed until the last 10 minuets, other than that you could watch episode one and then right the rest no worries.",5

"I'm a movie lover and I own 1000s of DVDs from all eras, so I like to think I have an eye for a really great movie... So why am I scratching my head after watching this and seeing over 49% of 12,000 voters giving this a 10? I just don't get it.

To be honest, I found the movie pretty average. It has some great acting by Winslet and Carrey and the soundtrack is quite enchanting. I suppose the storyline does touch the emotional nerves of anyone who has been in love and felt pain from it, but nothing I haven't seen done better in other (mostly ""World Cinema"") movies. The direction and style of the movie is nothing revolutionary (contradicting a point raised quite often here).

I was wondering was it something to do with the general reviews of the film? One trend I've found on IMDb is that the vast majority of people tend to echo what reviews have said about a film, even if they (deep down) don't feel that way themselves about it? I'm not sure, I tend not to read reviews until after I've watched a film.

I gave the film 6/10 as I was feeling generous. It really doesn't deserve anything more than this.",6
"First three seasons were like best thing you could see in a sitcom ever. But from 4th season it's all going downhill. I couldn't even get through season 5. If it wasn't for last two seasons, this show would have been my favourite sitcom.",9
"There is no plot, just shooting and kicking each other without any stories!",2
"First of all I just want to say enough with the 10/10 and 1/10 reviews, it's ridiculous. 10/10 means it's perfect and 1/10 means it's completely incompetent. This show is neither.

It's a decent show that could have been amazing but it's just not. Everything Netflix touches just feels cheap, no matter how many millions of dollars they pour into it. Henry Cavil is actually great as Geralt and so is Yen even though I was very sceptical about her casting choice but most of the actors are mediocre and inconsistent.

It's got some good action scenes but for the most part it's a forgettable show.

The books and the games are fantastic and really get you immersed in the universe, this show does not.

"Nolan showed promise more than a decade ago - albeit flawed, but entertaining - with ""Memento,"" but it's been strictly downhill since then starting with the utterly predictable movie (I forget the name) about the twin brothers' magic act.

Except for Batman fans (average age: 16?), it has all been downhill since: nothing new, nothing of any serious entertainment value for anyone over 16. I guess there is a box office draw for that crowd.

""Dunkirk"" tries SO HARD to be a film for adults, but it consists of one dreary, uninspired scene after another.

I left the cinema about 1/3 of the way in.

I think this shall be my final encounter with Nolan. There are too many other up-and-coming directors whose work deserves attention and evaluation.",1

The acting sucks. The whole thing is a terrible cliche. I'm going to go read Frank Miller's Daredevil stuff & wash the bad taste out. And I kept hearing how much people loved it.

He is not trying to make you appreciate those things like he does, he just nerds out about it and doesn't bring you into this stuff.

"Spielberg should get some kind of razzie award for cringe dialogue. The corniness of it had people hissing with laughter and eventually walking out of the theater. In Sweden we don't watch steamers like this. But I have been in us studying the English and go to movies to learn but this was a disaster because the language can't be used it is so weird. Stories happen to those who can tell them? What about stories where people are killed, like schindlers list? Awful awful dialogue. Spielberg must think he is influencer who can make weird phrases happen when he should focus on his prostitute children.",3
"Everything about 12 Years screams Oscar: period setting, heavyweight cast, topical subject matter with historical context and, the cherry on top, a Hans Zimmer score. Much like Lincoln last year, this is the ""traditional"" (read: safe) Best Picture nominee which the Academy loves to dote on and, although I don't put it in the same league as Gravity or Captain Phillips, I can see why it's become the favourite to win the biggest award in Hollywood.

Firstly, the acting is nothing short of amazing from all involved. In his first major lead role, as Solomon Northup, a free African American who is kidnapped and sold into slavery, Chiwetel Ejiofor wisely opts against histrionics in favour of a subtler, more impactful blend of gritty determination and soul-destroying vulnerability. He's surrounded by a range of top-notch supporting turns - including Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Giamatti, Brad Pitt, Sarah Paulson, Paul Dano and newcomer Lupita Nyong'o – with Michael Fassbender delivering yet another tour de force performance as ruthless slave owner Edwin Epps.

Then there's Steve McQueen's unmistakable style behind the camera, which, after Hunger and Shame, has been subdued slightly to ensure this drama is his most accessible work yet. McQueen employs his trademark long, lingering shots to powerful effect, notably during two unrelenting scenes of a near-hanging and a lashing. McQueen's oblique camera work and point of focus was, for some, cause for frustration in his previous two films, but here it only emphasises the dire circumstances these slaves endured and adds to the bleak atmosphere.

Not quite as monumental as the awards buzz would suggest and certainly not without flaws, 12 Years is nevertheless a worthy and highly recommendable motion picture, which admirably and honestly tackles a shameful portion of America's history.",8

While Patriotism is the underlying emotion, the stark contrast between wasteful plentiness and abject poverty/hardship is brought out excellently. SRK has done a fabulous job here and scenes where his eyes well up could be a natural reaction to the scene and the background music. He should do these kind of roles more.

I'm more intrigued by the Marvel universe than a fan, but I make a point of watching these as a 'popcorn' movie and don't take them seriously...

But this... This err, was just... I can't explain what this made me feel apart from sheer boredom, the opening 'fight' scene was the usual fare, choreographed cgi, noisy visuals, then someone or other said something about the Avengers are blowing up too much stuff and the world doesn't like them doing that any more, they get sulky and then some more stuff gets blown up while some cat in a catsuit chases someone from a late 90's nu-metal band video while Capt America pouts & tells him not to kill anyone. Then a grey iron man lands and the guy from 'The Guard' tells everyone off, then there's some more sulking & pouting...

I fell asleep at this point, please, please don't bother telling me what happens next, I really don't care.

"Christopher Nolan had sold out

either that or he has zero talent and someone else made memento

thats how bad this film is- there are times when the schmaltz borders on Michael bay territory- thankfully it never goes full bay

the TLDR version of why this film sucks

cooper played by that douche bag is awful- i don't know if its bad directing or his obnoxious voice but its irritating i swear he cant act- hes supposed to be an engineer but you feel like hes a lost drug dealer

speaking of annoying- Hathaway- Why is she here, her top lip is hairier than ron Jeremy's back he acting is awful- why is cat-woman in this film- acting exactly like cat-woman- why cant she give more than one facial expression why does she look like a cat peed on her half the time- that surly expression like shes the most entitled female you'll ever meet- oh and the eating disorder body shape= God eat something woman, you look like a teenage boy

NOLAN- why cant you write a female who has more than 1 dimension- aren't we going to evolve into 5 dimensional beings? well certainly your writing never will

AND THE SCHMALTZ! that kills this film- you go in expecting an artistic epic- you get Spielberg after a divorce settlement- its bad its REALLY BAD

the ending is so bad i wish Michael bay directed it so i wouldn't hate Nolan so much

this is the kind of film Seth mcfarlen will enjoy

Nolan you son of a female dog- i spent money on this you btard i feel robbed by this film even Michael bay gives better value for...... no, no he doesn't

on the plus side- the robot TARS- has more personality than the rest of the film combined",3
"I am Bangladeshi. But I know this movie was not made with our culture. But Hindi songs go from house to house in Bangladesh! What an awkward thing! Then writing Hindi on the street, Hindi pronunciation in every word, what are these? Learning from Kolkata, if Dhaka is named, then this is the situation! The job of a director and team is to check and select well. They have lost completely. But the actions of this movie were extraordinary. chris and randeep have done a great job.I know an action movie doesn't represent culture, but the movie is criticized for its lack of analysis by the director and the team. A little better analysis was needed, because here the names of the russo brothers are involved. And i love russo brothers and chris my thor so much....",7
"What a disappointment! A structural mess of a movie, short of anything memorable. Clunky, poorly executed action set-pieces devoid of the scope and elegance I've come to expect from Nolan, plot holes, nonsensical story developments and a villain that triggers no emotion whatsoever. Also, for a director whom I have come to appreciate for his originality, this is a blandly unoriginal effort that at times reminded me of Pierce Brosnan Bond days.

Sure, it makes you cringe at times, laugh at others, holds a couple of surprises and it is entertaining, don't get me wrong. But even with all that and its forced epic scope, this is still Nolan's worst film to date.",5
Better than all series for me. I love part 2. It's best movie.,10
"My review is based on both seasons combined. I liked the first season a lot and would rate it a solid 8 of 10. It is the second season that brought the score down for me. That I would give a 6 out of 10. The reason; there was far to many times where I felt I was forcing myself to watch. The thing is Fisk was so much more interesting a bad guy in the first season. Really, I didn't know what to make of the new charterers/bad guys. They felt generic and most of time had bad dialogue. Hopefully they will make them more likable in the future seasons. So to me a 7 still means that most of the time I enjoyed the show. Even adding in the less than enjoyable second season.",7
"There is no time wasted with this one. Right out of the gate it hurls you into the action, engaging and shocking you right off the bat. It holds fast to that engagement throughout the experience and every time it felt like the pacing was starting to slow down they picked it right back up with a bang.

It is few and far between now a days to come across something that feels original and fresh, especially in the vein of possession. Talk to Me managed to do just that. The concept was truly intriguing and the execution was captivating. Something about the way they manifested the possession in this was so gnarly and frightening... it was very effective and well done.

What was also well done was the makeup and sfx. With the visceral nature of what was represented, the film would not have been as successful if it wasn't for the artists so masterfully exemplifying their craft in this (talk about gnarly...).

The spook factor is real in this one and did not come to play. The way they made this so relatable and accessible to their audience in this down to earth way makes it even creepier. There is a fun and creepy montage I enjoyed with a very intense, awesome scene following it that is still taking up space in my mind.

The acting was also excellent across the board and a big attribute of this movie's success. The main girl did and excellent job and I hope to see more from her. The dad wasn't great for me and the moms character was a little jarring and odd to me in vernacular and behavior but I'm going to chalk it up to a cultural disconnect.

I do feel like the story was missing a little background and eventually a bit of closure. I wish we had gotten more on the hand, where it came from and its purpose. More about the other realm, the spirits it holds and whatever entity they so casually mentioned can essentially impersonate other people? It wasn't terribly lacking, I would've just enjoyed more. I also would have liked just a little more closure as far as the storyline went. I certainly don't need everything wrapped up in a pretty black bow, but it almost gave that feeling of setting itself up for a sequel. Which I would love to see but it should also be solid as a stand alone. Regardless, I still enjoyed the ending which is where so many horror movies fall short. It was foreseeable yet I was not expecting it and appreciated that.

All in all Talk to Me is a classic possession/communing with spirits story with a fresh, innovative twist to it and a masterful execution from all involved that will satiate the deep dark thralls of horror and thrills we so enjoy. Would recommend.

Probably doesn't need reviews as it seems like most the population watched this short drama series. For me as soon as I saw Richard Madden was the lead I was there loved him in GOT and equally so in bodyguard he is definitely the whole package superb actor and great to look at lol Quite a topical subject terrorism but with the added twist of bent politicians well scripted considering it was a short series and a great cast a lot slicker and more gripping than the Jack Ryan series and I would recommend it will be interesting if there is a follow up series and if so I do hope Richard Madden is retained.,8
"I gave it three stars, one for Hugh Jackman, one for the little girl Dafne and one for the visual effects. This last star actually is the reason why I have left the remaining seven stars out. It's hard to criticise these kind of films.

I have never watched anyone of the X-men series. They are just plain boring to my taste. I just saw some of their trailers etc. I cannot see its direct connection with the previous X-men series but this one (Logan) seems to be their follow up. Indeed it simply draws on the same failure lines of the all modern day DC and/vs Marvel series.

The summary of the film is all about hatret, destruction and killing. There is no story line. No character development. No plot. No text. No meaning. No science, no fiction, no use. All is about a hundred of people being killed by the blades of this mutant and his new mutant daughter. It's all about, when you get angry you will be more powerful than otherwise and you can solve your problems much easily that way!

This films targets the audience of age between 15 and 25 and I guess it is most harmfull to the emotional and logical development of young pupils of those ages when young men seek to habituate the correct behaviour under various situations. Ethical development is extremely sensitive. The film is constantly bombarding the same idea: when you are in trouble, use your blades and power and become a hero !

Of course, these films are not produced for supporting the healthy development of youth. Yet, practically speaking young generations are wathcing these sick films more often than they watch the correct examples. The bombardment is so heavy. For the last 20 years, Hollywood turned into an emotional sucker for young generations. Examples are all in the wrong direction. Decisions are all made illogical and emotional. Hate and evil are the driving forces, killing and destruction is the ultimate solution. This is directly and subconsciously bombarded into the minds of young generations.

Furthermore, there's no science or fiction in them either. The idea of a mutant at first seems scientific (and yes it's about DNA modificaiton of a living organism) yet the concept of mutant is used in the same manner as ""a genie in a bottle"" ; a fantasy film rather than science-fiction: It's not ""twenty thousand leagues under the sea""...

What a waste of effort to produce for them and time to watch for us...",3
"Ajay Devgn is back to entertain his fans & this time he is in Raid as an Income-tax officer. Directed by Rajkumar Gupta, this film tells a story of India's longest raid that happened in 1981.

Though, the subject is about a single raid, it is difficult to make a full feature film without loosing audience. Ritesh Shah, writer of this film, has done commandable job. But, it could have been made with more intense drama, more sharp dialogue and more twists and turns. Other than that, I think this film has no other negative point.

Saurabh Shukla is again delivering a power-pack performance. Ileana is sweet and subtle in her tiny role. The old actress who is playing Saurabh Shukla's mother, is the major plus point of this film. Whenever she comes on the screen, it is hard to control your smile. Apart from her, Amit Sial plays an important role to entertain people.

Ajay Devgn has given another good performance. Though, I have to admit that this is not his best. He has many roles which will be remembered by me, but not this one.

There are three songs. Last song by Papon is good. Other two songs by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan are not required in the film. But, they don't take much time, so it's fine.

There are two dialogues which I really liked: 'Jo apni zuban ka nahi, Wo insan bhi hai kya!'& 'India ke officers ka nahi, unki Biwiyon ka bahadur hona zaruri hai!'

I went to see some extraordinary film, but it is not at all close. In my screen, where Ajay's fans came too, were not cheering or whistling, and I guess it's because the film lacks in punches. I don't know I am right or wrong, but as compare to Sonu or Padman, this film gives nothing to me (at least).

On the whole, if you are Ajay's fan, then go for it. Anyone can watch it one time. It is not bad. But for me, it is not superb, too.",7
"I binged all of season 1 because I loved it so much, but only finished season 2 from the continued high of season 1.

Season 1: 9/10 Season 2: 6/10.",7
"Don't watch this show if you're easily confused or you don't or can't pay attention to whats happening. It draws you in, it tells a story flipfloping through time ending at an epic conclusion. An excellent blend of the saga and witcher stories, witcher book fans delight! Henry cavill wears the mantel of Geralt exceptionally well, even though I was a little put off by the initial casting choice. I was so wrong. Also I adore, Yen so much",9
I think I love the show but I go from really enjoying it to getting really mad at it in the blink of an eye and it's all down to who is on screen.,9
"Started off with a bang, then I fell asleep... I'll try again, but there is too much conversation and less action.",4
"Solid, yet uninspiring story and narrative. Direction is serviceable. Strong performances but forgettable as a package with no real character moments. Exposition heavy. Unearned emotional moments.",7
I am 71 years old so maybe Hollywood has just passed me by but I cannot remember the last movie I saw that disappointed me as much as this one. The plot was arguably impossible to follow. there seemed to be no heroic figures and the futility of all of the battling amongst the parties did not even come close to putting an end to it. It was simply one battle scene after another. The special effects and photography were pretty good but this looked like a two and a half hour audition for assistant director to me.,3
"I liked the action scenes and Eddie and Venom relationship. I wish it was longer, the movie seemed very short. The plot was so weak and predictable. The best part of the movie was the post credit scene.",6
"Another Netflix party political broadcast for the woke - argh

Cancelling Netflix. Can't take anymore",2
"I ended up binge-watching the entire season - 4 episodes yesterday and 4 tonight - like so many others!! I thought it was excellent! I'm not even a huge ""80's"" era fan, but this show managed to find the very best of that decade and bring it to positive light. The homage to the films and writers was so well done and the music was amazing! Parts of the show reminded me of ""The Goonies"" and ""Stand By Me"" as well. After I watched the entire season, I realized I was thoroughly entertained and without a single scene of gratuitous violence or sex, something that much of today's programming relies on vs. back in the 80's or earlier. I found it refreshing and yes it's something a family can actually watch together (although very young children might be frightened by the monster). The only reason I did not rate this show a 10 is I thought Ryder's character was a bit too much at times. The constant hysterics wore me out for the first half of the season but it did get better in the second half. I understand she was a panicked mother so I can't put a finger on it. I just found Joyce a little annoying. I'm not sure if that was an acting or writing flaw so I will leave it at that. That was minor though and I still would recommend this show wholeheartedly!! I hope they bring it back for more season(s)!",9
"This felt as if I was on a very loooong flight that I couldn't get off from. I was fidgeting and my ass... was hurting for sitting that long.... I would of get up and left half way in, but because my friends took me and purchased tickets I just had to suffer till the end :( This would of been great flick if it was half the length...as cinematography was excellent and acting, writing not so much and only action you get is on the end of the movie. Ouch lol",5
First and second season was ok. Third season went way down hill. The fourth season started out slow but eventually redeemed the whole series. I liked it.,8
"What the hell was that? More to the point, how the hell has it got such a high score?

I like Tom Hiddleston he's a great actor and especially a great Loki, but this series is beyond boring......nothing happens, and the multiple versions of Loki were ridiculous.

I'll be skipping the second season.",2
"I heard everyone talking about this. Like it was life changing. So what did I do? I started watching it. I stopped at first when I was at episode 5. The characters we're just SO BORING. I didn't care about ANY of them. But after a week I started watching and the last episode saves the serie. The last episode is really great and is one of the best finales I have ever seen in a series. But the journey to the final was just AFWUL.

The costumes are great. Score is good too. But the characters are so bland. So bland and boring.

Is it overrated? Definitely.

Bad? Not at all.",7
"There's a long way to go to make it good.

There's just no context for the setting so it feels 100% forced.

The humour is purposely corny but it is grating throughout. Rather than emulating the classics, it feels like a failed Disney Kids network show.",1
"What a waste of time. Seriously, completely waste of time. When you are a simple person, with simple thoughts, just like a sheep, you can only love hypes and act like a parrot. The too low rated movie sky line is just pure reality compared to this movie. I was getting bored after 15 minutes of awful drama acting. So when he finally went up to space, I thought okay, let's do it... But omg, it even got worse... The only thing I liked, was the simple quick words about relativity and space time continuum and the wormhole. The black hole stuff, was ridiculous. Well I do not go any further, it just a waste of tears.. If this was an 8.8 rating, humanity is doomed and full of when-I-say-jump-you-say-how-high brainwashed sheeple. Sci-fi all the way, but this movie is not even close to shiite.",3
Really enjoyed the till they broke up. Last part just sucks.,6
"Deathly Hallows Part 1 was darker and more thrilling than the others and the acting once again was brilliant. Voldemort and the Death Eaters are more involved in this movie which makes it even more darker and thrilling. I think that this movie is one of the best HP movies made because of the drama type storyline eg. Horcruxes, being on the run etc. The music in the movie is slightly different too, for example right at the beginning of the movie when the Warner Brothers logo appears, the music is low and feels more intense.

Overall, an excellent movie and a fantastic lead up to Part 2 (which should be epic!!!)",10
"i am new to Korean movies and My Sassy Girl was my first Korean movie and i think it is the best. i never saw a true love story like that how could that happen in real life it is a typical filmy story with lots of drama...it is the best romantic comedy i have ever seen.both the actors were really good nice chemistry between them... although i find that the girls character (sorry i couldn't remember the name of the actors) should have been little more feminine, she was too abusive according to me how could the boy have tolerated her (thats love i guess). i wont reveal the story because i think it is worth watching. if you have missed this movie till date you must watch you wont regret....coz it is a true story ...i still think is it really possible in real life.",10
"On a lazy and hot Sunday afternoon, looking for something to watch I found this amazing film. I'm not really into Bollywood, not even a little bit, so I started watching the film with very low expectations and after 5 minutes into it it gives you the first big punch in the heart, then a laugh, then you cry like a baby and start laughing again, and its like this all the way through till the end. Take my advice, look for this movie, and don't miss out on it. Oh, and if you're the mother of a daughter, please, please, see to together.",10
"Like most people i had no idea what ""the Fabelmans"" was at first. But when finding out it was a semi-autobiography of Steven Spielbergs life, i thought it could be great.

It is good to a point. The guy playing a teenage Spielberg (here called Sam Fabelman) is good, and the movie is interesting enough in showing how he started off being interested in making movies, and built his craft behind real life problems.

Unfortunately though it doesn't go far enough and feels like a missed opportunity. Why not just make an autobiography and get to the stuff fans want to see in Spielbergs later life instead of changing everything and cutting it abruptly short. Its still a decent watch, even if it could of been so much more.",7
"This movie is extremely boring, and highly annoying. We're presented with such a great cast but for some reason 80% if the dialogue is ""loveably whimpered"" by Paul Rudd, who doing the same lame schtick as in every single Rudd Movie EVER MADE!

The biggest offender however, is the other 12% occupied by the extremely annoying and not funny Michael Pena, who made me turn off the movie after rolling up to ""help"" with whatever the hell they were doing at the end. Thats right, I couldn't have cared less what happened at the end of the movie because the movie doesn't really make me care. Frankly I was on the ""villian's side"".

We get nothing from TI, Walton Goggins, or any other side character.



Avengers: Endgame better not center around the dudes who's powers were too lame to be fighting Thanos at the end (ie- Hawkeye, Ant Man, Black Widow, War Machine, and Captain America).

Without Strange, The Guardians, Thor, Ironman and Spiderman, snoozefest.",3
"Amazing direction and screenplay ,karthi is outstanding in this movie and police officer character is well played ,",10
"Ahh I've read all the books and was generally excited when come to know how much Mr GRR Martin will be involved.

I was not disappointed good script, solid dialogue and good CGI. The pace of the show is ideal there are no boring scenes, characters are slowly built up in detail. CGI is not annoying and at no point central. The show keeps the rough medieval brutality that we know from GOT series and Mr GRR Martin's books.

If you are a fan you know the story but still nicely shown and told - minimal cringe and great cast.

Feels nice to be back to Westeros and it's nice that the show builds up on an already familiar world.

So much better than unfortunate Amazon contender.",8
Just a movie with exaggorated theme.Oroginality and seriousness of the story is lost somewhere.Sucha wasted potential but they are lucky to get a hit with such bad screenplay and direction.Should have been better,3
"i laughed out loud even after watching this masterpiece several times. i never watch movies twice but this is the rare exception that's worth it. you have to understand the ""no brainer"" comedy concept as well as appreciate all the direct allusions to famous American movies where chow's characters, especially his character, repeat lines of dialogue that made the sources so outstanding. anyone who has not seen this movie should give it a play and wait at least 15 minutes before rejecting it outright. and for my taste you have to watch the excellently dubbed English version. it seems this site requires ten lines of text.",9
This movie has nothing special. It is just like any other movie where the actor has to struggle a lot to reach his destination. Nothing else. I couldn't understand why it's rating was 8.5,5
"It's by far one of the most underrated series you would ever see. It's a masterpiece with all its meanings and aspects. Every second of this one is just marvelous. The plot is well written, furthermore it's flawless. The scenes of committing crimes are just so different from any other series. Mads Mikkelsen's performance was just outstanding rather than Hugh Dancy who was awesome, too. The last episode of each season needs an individual emmy and should get 10/10 rating. The ending is unpredictable, yet so impressive. Don't try to skip this series with its three seasons. I highly recommend watching it.",10
"Third season has just come to a close, and I can say if you like superheros somehow still in 2022 and haven't seen this I would recommend. Not for the faint of heart, this gritty, realistic, action thriller is quite violent and features significant amounts of gore. Following a group of powerless humans, the boys, as they take on The Seven, an elite group of corrupt superheroes working under Vought industries, the mock equivalent of Avengers / Super Friends. The scripting is quite good, the acting is superb, the quality has stayed constant throughout all its seasons so far. The latest season is still the weakest of the three in my opinion, it features the most splatter gore which after three seasons has gotten a bit old, and the least happens in the overarching plot, but that's okay it definitely felt like a set up season. With more seasons and multiple spin-offs on the way there will be plenty more of this to come, although to be honest that makes me more nervous than anything else. Hopefully this stays good, for now would definitely recommend.",8
"I usually don't write reviews but I felt the need to do so, so I could save people a couple of hours watching this (budget, badly written, horribly acted, terrible CGI) Joke of a TV show. For the ones who want to try, watch the first episode if u liked it, then go on. If not, then u need to stop there, because that's basically it until the last episode.",1
"I came into this movie precisely for Ryan Reynolds, I didn't know anything about the rest of the cast and it turned out how I expected this movie to be. It starts very fast paced and full of action and honestly the intro of the movie was the best. The middle and introduction to the characters was boring and did seem to drag, you feel like the movie doubled in time during the middle. Towards the end the action becomes the main attraction to the movie, but just feels like a below average Ryan Reynolds movie. I would recommend if you are a fan of Ryan Reynolds like myself, but if not I would miss it, it did have a lot of action and in gruesome form may I say but story wise it felt over complicated and basic.",7
"What a ride! The Winter Soldier sits at the pinnacle of the MCU's best and most entertaining, 10 times better than its predecessor. Can't say enough about the choreography! The street fight against the WS is one of the best I've seen in both weapons and hand to hand combat. The scene alone is a sure fire million views in YouTube. Further complemented by a strong storyline (with some bonus emotional notes to it) and the best villain in the MCU thus far in the WS, and you've got one of the best action films of the decade.",8
"WoW! When i saw this movie, i was amazed. Coppola continues the riveting Corleone saga between pacino's Michael and deniro's Young Vito. Both have never been better, and the supporting cast is amazing. The film did not seem the nearly three and a half hours that it was. Also, I thought that scenes between Michael and Fredo were among the best i've seen. Along with Citizen kane, Lawrence of Arabia, and casablanca, this film, which somehow manages to outdo the first one (a great film in its own right), could possibly be the best I've ever seen.",10
"When the season first began, this show wasn't too bad. It was beautiful and held some promise, even though being G-Rated compared to GOT. However, the moment they suddenly switched from childhood to adulthood for Rhaenyra Targaryen, it began a rapid decline. To say the writers and producers started to 'phone it in' in a major way would be even too complimentary. It is a disjointed wreck of a snooze. There's no 'hard-hitting' drama. There's no 'flow.' There's no courage. There are no longer any interesting characters. To say the story is being badly told is another understatement. What a waste of time,effort, and money. Boring, dull, unenjoyable in every way... It leaves one wondering why they even bothered if they weren't even going to try to put on a decent show.",1
"Those who love this kind of fanciful movies will love this one chiefly for its high quality special visual efects in terms of actions, images and scenes. Two young boys (Billy and Thad) are endowed with superpowers; Billy got them from a good wizard while Thad has got his from the Seven Deadly Sins. Therefore Billy becomes a nice good boy abandoned by his mother but who finds a friendly foster home while Thad becomes an evil and wicked man. The result of this is that they will fight one another. The constant action in the movie keeps you attentive and appreciative all the time.",6
"I think it would be a great film had I not read the book. I feel the major plot points were there but the journey wasn't. That journey, like in the book, represents the attention, love and hours people put into games and that feeling was completely missing.

...should have been a Netflix series!",4
"First time extraordinary, second time it is ordinary and sooner it gets to a point where we will be less interested to be amused. Problem with series type fictions. May be it depends on individuals. And I must say there is no real bond between lead characters. They all look so mechanical and though they play their part good, I like Robert Downey and Jude Law as Sherlock and Dr.Watson.",6
"I love daredevil, this show is amazing, it is definitely action packed and pretty exciting, such good acting and some great fight scenes, I loved this show and if You watch it then you'll definitely know why.",9
"""The heart has its reasons, which reason does not know."" Pascal's famous quote exudes a sense of instant obviousness on the irrational aspect of love, love as feeling, love as a bridge between two souls… but once you dig deeper in that notion, you realize that it's not much about love being irrational but maybe of love being built on 'fantasy', as a euphemism for lies. We can love someone, this is a sentiment human beings are most capable of, but take love as something other than a feeling, as a contract, a commitment and then the word 'fantasy' takes its full meaning because only through a fantasized version of the other, one can sacrifice his freedom of being true to his and her nature, becoming a fantasy in return.

I'm reading myself and I don't think I'm being clear. I think what Michel Gondry's movie or let's say the script written by Charlie Kauffman, who wrote ""Being John Malkovich"" and ""Adaptation."", is that the mind of someone is a world by itself, it is made of rational and irrational stuff, lost dreams and hopes, dreams and lost hopes, visions of reality, lies, regrets and more than anything memories, it's not much the memories that shape our individuality but the way we perceive them. By that logic, a relationship between two persons represent a real collision of two worlds, where hearts create bridges that minds have a hard time to cross. There's a moment in the film where Clementine says that she doesn't like what she became in her relationship with Joel, it's quite a powerful statement about the way love interfere with our being, and maybe the mind is the only sphere of freedom one is allowed to keep.

""Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"", the film that finally earned Kauffman a long overdue Oscar, allows us to venture in the mind of Joel Barish, a meek and timid young man played by Jim Carrey and who falls in love with Clementine, a free-spirited girl who feels a strange attraction, maybe a feeling of completion in that sponge of a man who allows her to be true to herself. The non-linear narrative makes us suspect that there might be a 'history' between these two souls, why would they meet during Valentine's Day, in a cold beach in Montauk. The credits come after about a quarter of an hour, when we're taken back in the past and realize that they indeed knew each other and because it didn't end happily, Clementine had registered to a program that allows to erase memories of failed relationships. Joel decides to follow the same program.

And this is only the premise, the 'what if' question that drives the film. Kaufman is quite good in these starting concepts, what if we could live fifteen minutes in someone else's body, what if a film could chronicle the process of its own creation, what if we could erase memories? That's an existential challenge. I guess there are three or four memories that would totally change my personality if I erased them so yes, this is an issue I would strongly relate to, but in the case of ""Eternal"", the idea is more debatable, because love stories aren't meant to end well, so unless it ended with a crime or a rape, why would someone symbolically kill a person he or she loved. Maybe there's a sort of ego-thing, the idea of having lost your time, the desperation, the unhappiness, or maybe that sight of Carrey crying in his car. Love can make you feel lousy indeed.

So Joel decides to follow the treatment and we see the medical staff operating on his brains and the film features a strange and somewhat comical situation where he's in a comatose state while the young assistants charged of mapping the brain spots featuring memories of Clementine to wipe them out, are having fun, drinking beer or even takes advantage on the situation in a way I wouldn't spoil, but let's say that Mark Ruffalo, Kirsten Dunst, Elijah Wood and Tom Wilkinson being actors and observers of the situation also bring a few insights about the way love works and about the way such a concept would be in fact a remedy worse than the cure itself, they're like the Greek chorus of a tragicomedy whose actions speak so vividly against that memories-erasing concept and you expect it's a matter of time before somewhere Joel feels the need to rebel.

And the two thirds of the film are set in the mind of Joel who realizes while venturing in his memories that there's still something strong going between them, and that's the realistic approach of love, it's never as powerful as in the last memory so the more memories you explore, the more likely it is to awake old passions. What follows is an original cat-and-mouse chase in his labyrinthine mind. To a certain extent, It is a gimmick, I enjoyed it in the sense that it didn't overuse the dreamy concept and featured the kind of stuff I would have expected from ""Inception"", there were a few surrealistic bits that put Carrey in such situations that undermined the 'seriousness' of his role. He was good but just because he doesn't make grimaces doesn't mean he's pulling a great performance.

There's no love but proof of love, only by seeing things that have been done in the name of love that they realized there was a true love, the ending was handled with poetic perfection, while the film was far from being imperfect. I know it is regarded as one of the best movies of the 2000's, but the plot wasn't as elaborate as Kaufman's usual creations and it's like the non-linear editing and overly long second act tried to make the film more complex than what it was, as if it was ashamed of being a straightforward romance of eighty minutes.",7
"I expected so much more that this condusing mess. When the mother finally shows up her explanation adds up to absolutely nothing. The brothers hehavior make almost no sense, Enola runs off on missions with no plans at all, it's just a dumb mess.

"Why the world feels it has to make trash movies and trash series for young people I don't know?

The Boys was amazing, it didn't care about age and being with what is popular in any age genre, it was just very good quality. But this Gen V seems to desperately want to connect with the irritating young people of today, the kids who live stream to try and become popular, the insta idiots desperate to be famous boasting on the number of followers they have. Bla bla bla

It's not The Boys, it's far away from how good The Boys was.

This is more like Twlight meets Instagram directed by the niece of whoever directed the boys.",2
"Loki starts out pretty promising with Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson leading the show, their chemistry and banter is what keeps us hooked and engaged for the first 2 episodes. The small and big revelations set up interesting plotlines and adventures.

And then well........................Someone comes along and reminds us that ""This isn't about Loki""!!!

Yeah! Someone in the writers room thought this was a great idea......as episode three rolls on you start to realize the shift in perspective and focus which isn't great to experience and you also start to think the very important character building scenes for Loki which play a really big part in his decisions in episode 2 were rushed because ........well this isn't about LOKI. Ugh! Really ? Who was in the trailer for this show? Why do you think millions of marvel fans are watching this show????

As episode 4 5 and 6 come along it gets increasingly pedestrian and vehemently boring as the pacing comes to a screeching halt, show don't tell! More like always talk talk talk talk and talk and barely do anything interesting.

Richard E Grant comes along and provides some respite but it doesnt last long, by the end startling revelations happen which will be either great or detrimental for the MCU, but our Hero/Villain is reduced to a sappy, idotic , whiny , incompetent fool,an insecure whiny chid whose whole purpose of existence was attention and nothing more! We never get to seehim use his wits , smartness , shrewdness instead we get someoe else who is vastly better at everything he is supposed to be.

Great, ruined one of the best fictional villains , well done DISNEY!

If the MsheU.......... uhhhhh MCU is what you have watched your entire life and you have zero clues about any other shows and films, then I guess this will work for you but do not go about whining to someone else who might have a better knowledge of films and television, moaning and shouting about the greatness of LOKI.

Loki is another show with great potential, promising actors, great aesthetic , great score, visuals and a good budget. Sadly when your whole focus is to bait and switch your talent goes down the drain.

Another bang average Marvel show along with films like Black Widow , Shang chi, and the other shows it isn't looking good for the M-she-U.......uhh I mean MCU!. The die hard fans can stay in denial but those smart enough know that perhaps the glory days might be over for this once juggernaut of a universe.",4

"Dear readers, Red Sparrow is definitely an acting and intelligence movie. Acting term here is because there are some scenes that are really hardcore, intriguing, sadistic, full of blood, and I think they employ some stunts. Also the audience would already guess that this is an intelligence movie while watching the trailer. Well, these movie is about actions, tricks, sex, smartness, betrayal, and an unexpected ending. This is not a movie for children. What makes this movie is so different with other intelligence movie is; If some intelligences movies use some emotions and love as the weakness, this movie positioned that kind of human being feeling as a power to combat enemy. Also if some intelligence movies use sex and women as a tool of power, this movie positioned that stuff as the weakness of intelligence system. Quite contradictory but make sense. From the first time while we watch the intelligence plots, we can assume that Jennifer Lawrence is the main story, but while other characters are developing, it is her who had created the real main actor. Of course her face is on the poster of the movie and her name is on the first list, but her character is deeper and deeper existed by the existence of other actors and this existence is deliberately made, so slightly and slowly the audience will figure out for whom she is playing for. Moreover, we do not know whether this story based on true events or just imagination, but we can assume that the narration of this movie is coming from the sense of Cold War between two countries, USA and Russia. In this political substance, the Director must explain why there are also some scenes places other than in USA or Russia, but they took some scenes also in Hungary and UK. If there are some scenes in Asian countries, I will give 9 points for this movie, because the story could be more developing if touched with Asian cultures, not just to show the intelligence story of white people power, but also the politics among nations with more complex issues. Also why I gave this movie point in 8, not 9, is because the bridge of plots is quite easy and so-coincidentally-built. Jennifer Lawrence, a broken-leg ballet dancer and the religious one, became a high spy intelligence with no morality in just three months just because his uncle is working for Russian intelligence. This is quite perfect for me, but I really appreciate her great acting in this movie; she is really talented, sexy, and charming. It is her who makes this movie worth it to be watched. This movie is the combination between Elektra, Black Swan, Munich, and Bridge of Spies as a whole package to give the surprising ending. I also appreciate the wardrobe and audition team who can dress up all the actors as normal as intelligence life, not too much, but fit in like a daily normal life. The actors, including Jennifer Lawrence herself, they have a Russian face and they might be learning Russian accent that clearly showed up when they are speaking English language. Quite impressive. For me, this movie has a message to shows us about old quote; that there is needed new lies to cover past lies; but with the unpredictable ending in this movie, I think we do not need new lies to cover lies, we only need past truth to create new truth, because if we cover lie, someday this lie is being known, but if we create fact, this gonna be fact forever, no matter this is a created-fact, or natural fact.",8
"Didn't really like the story , Waist of time👎🏻 Don't bother watching",1
First of all...Thanks to all team members for this masterpiece. Its not just a movie...its a emotion. I loved this amazing heart touching story of a dog and a man. Must watch...u will never disappointed.,10
"While the concept of the series is excellent and novel, the makers are palpably left liberals who hate conservatives and Trump in particular. The chief antagonist Homelander (checkout the nationalist monicker and attire) looks like a young version of Trump and makes no bones about speaking outrightly about MAGA. So it is a left liberal propagandist web series as is the case with most web series and movies these days.",7
"Pretty standard stuff. High octane action, great shots on location, and Tom Cruise sprinting (in any of his films dating back to the 80's, does he ever not do this?). Predictable plot twists, not much originality, and in the desire to pack in as much as possible, excessively long at two and a half hours. The improbable (dare I say impossible?) sequence with the fifteen minute countdown seemed to last a half hour at least. I liked how Cruise (ageless at 56) sometimes gets knocked down or fails in this one, and the stunning shots in Kashmir. It's a summer blockbuster that filmgoers lapped up like ice cream, and it's entertaining enough as it trots out all the usual tropes. I do wish the mentality was 'less is more' instead of 'more is better', and that there was as much creativity in the story as there was in the stunts. I'm clearly in the minority though.",6
"As an Iranian, I was cautious to watch Argo. Hollywood has a way of portraying Iranians in a way that pisses most of us off. From '24' to 'Don't Mess with the Zohan', Iranians are portrayed as America-hating Barbarians with untamed beards, and nothing is further from the truth. Iranians are relatively Normal people. They love America, and most of them look pretty normal. I was happy, ergo, that 'Argo' didn't live up to this stereotype. Instead, Argo takes a very non-biased approach to the matter. It doesn't glorify Iranians. It just tries to keep them out of the occasions. There are no Iranian antagonists, with a fake Arabic-sounding English accent and cunning ways, nor are there brave patriotic Americans who would do anything for their country. All it does it show Iran at a very chaotic time, and the only group of Iranians that are portrayed in the movie, are the fundamentalist Muslims who raided the U.S. Embassy in the late 70s, and that group is portrayed quite accurately. Any Iranian who takes offense in the way that ""Iranians"" are portrayed here, should understand that this movie isn't trying to make a generalization about the Iranian public, but is only showing a minority of angry bearded men and women in burkas, who do exist in the thousands and who did attack the U.S. Embassy.

While the events leading up to the movie are historically accurate, where the movie takes off with them is fictional. Without giving anything away, it revolves around 6 American workers of the American Embassy in Tehran, who fled the Embassy following the attacks and sought refuge at the house of the Canadian ambassador, and a joint operation between CIA and Canadian Authorities to extract them safely out of Iran. The story is pretty solid and the pace of the movie, specially the dialog is very fast. It is filmed mostly in the U.S., though it does briefly visit Istanbul as well. All the ""Iran"" bits were filmed in Hollywood, yet the locations were chosen wisely and it does look like Iran. The protests and the riots were also decently shot and the movie sure brings back bitter memories of those times for Iranians. The story unfolds Rapidly. It doesn't stray into unrelated sub-plots or feature, like almost every movie ever, a romance that has nothing to do with the story. The Final chapter of the movie is a hell of nail-biter and leaves you at the edge of your seat.

Ben Affleck, who directs and stars in the picture, has grown from a medium actor into a brilliant film-maker and actor, and 'Argo' is his best work yet. A Job Well done!",5

I just kept watching every week and I'm so glad I did. Just gets better and better. Love it and glad that marvel is continuing to put out great material like this. Can't wait to see the rest of the marvel shows when they release.,9
I really tried to like this picture. I'm a big QT fan but I was disappointed with his ninth instalment. It was too long and I felt Brad Pitt didn't do much in his performance.,6
"I had high expectations as I prepared to see this film, driven by two factors. First, I was very impressed with the originality of Kaufman's Being John Malkovich. Second, I have thoroughly enjoyed Kate Winslet's excellent performances in several previous films, most notably Heavenly Creatures. Perhaps it was the shattering of these high, but realistic, expectations that made watching this film so disappointing.

This was the first time in a couple of years that I considered walking out of the theatre (twice). After an hour, enough of a plot framework had developed that it was no longer necessary to invest significant effort in following the story. Furthermore, a couple of comparatively interesting subplots developed: although they are variations on the main plot, they involve more appealing characters.

The acting was acceptable but unremarkable; Winslet and Carrey are both capable of better. The cinematography and editing were garish, and seemed to be designed to distract the audience from the hollow characters.

There are a few funny and emotive scenes towards the end. However, their impact quickly faded, and I was left with nothing to think about as I left (except, where did my 13 bucks just go?). If you like original, artistic, and intelligent films, it is possible that this will appeal to you, but be warned: it is not BJM.",6
"What the heck happened in this film? Yes, we have lovely violence and foul language and one-liners and all those entertaining vices, except where's the plot?! There is none! Whatsoever! Oh wait, let me get out my microscope...

We have a few different stories all being played out, except they have next to nothing to do with the next. Basically it's a a few gangsters running around killing people, some couple holding up a restaurant, and a prize fighter having a weird day. While each is entertaining in its own respect, the movie as a whole could not possibly have been more disorganized and poorly thought out. If you finish this movie and are left asking ""And your point is...?"" then you are not alone.

Why? Why would you make a movie like this? I think this is one of those hit or miss, love it or hate type of movies. This is not a movie that you just sit down and get entertained by. It's one of those pieces of ""art,"" if you know what I mean.

And no this is not a masterpiece of film or in anyway genius. It has a rock star cast which makes things kind of interesting, but this movie is not nearly as good as all of these film sheep shouting ""10/10, amazing, redefined cinema,"" would lead you to believe.",4
The story plot was all over the place while also making no sense and trying only to aggravate the viewers,6
"I'm all about slow burn dramas but it has be told effectively unfortunately this film isn't. It seems Jennifer's acting abilities effected the other crew as well. Joel look disinterested and there no chemistry from the leads In this film. For a movie that is over two hours we still don't really see her training and she isn't believable as a ""red sparrow"". At this point in her career regardless of her as a person and her idiot ideological rhetoric she is a one note actor. She dosnt have the capability to lead a movie like this and because she isn't a great actor she isn't raising the other crew or using her charisma to elevate a average script. Seriously watch her in all her films she plays the same character no range at all and never has any chemistry with her male leads.",5

"A simple farm guy named Copper (Matthew McConaughey) and a few other experts go into outer space to explore other worlds that might sustain human life. It seems that that life on Earth might not survive due to to some unexplained environmental disaster. Naturally nothing goes right.

WAY overpraised and terrible sci-fi movie. When I heard the plot from this I expected the worst. Writer/director Christopher Nolan has never been a favorite for me--I HATE what he did to Batman in his movie trilogy. I thought that he as trying to imitate Stanley Kubrick (""2001"") here but it's far worse--he's doing Steven Spielberg! The movie runs WAY too long (165 minutes) and they're constantly pushing family friendly values in your face. Cooper's non-stop yammering about his daughter got on my nerves instantly. Also that stupid fake southern accent he adopts is immediately annoying. The story is very slow and all the characters are cardboard cutouts you've seen in other movies. The special effects are flawless and there's some beautiful cinematography here but the extreme length and boring story really weigh it down. Any sort of statement they're trying to make on time and life is completely deadened by the script. Also this movie is very manipulative and way too sentimental. They go out of their way to make the audience cry--like at a Spielberg movie. Well I did cry--tears of joy at the end that this was over! Also the gaps in logic and plot holes here are very annoying. I lost track of how many times I rolled my eyes at the dubious ""logic"" served up here. The acting was as good as it could be (I guess) but, at the end, they throw in a surprise guest star (who I won't name). It didn't help because I think he's a terrible actor and this didn't change my mind. I was bored and looked at my watch MANY times while this played. It's boring, obvious and manipulative. Why is this getting so much praise? Skip it.",1
"Few recent films have been accompanied by the hype that surrounded Avatar. Is it justified? Well, the visual effects are undeniably striking, thanks to the latest incarnation of 3D. What about the substance of the film? The plot is as trite as the visual impact is impressive. If you have seen any of the moral tales lamenting the demise of the Noble Savage in harmony with nature, you have already heard the tale. Now let me see, what other oppressed native population rode horses, used bows and arrows, and gave 'war whoops' when riding into battle - no, don't tell me, I'm sure I'll get it. This story was told - and better told - by the 'new age' westerns of the 1950s starring the likes of Randolph Scott. The characters in Avatar don't fare well in a comparison with those earlier examples of the genre either. They are comic book figures - stereotyped, two dimensional and bordering on the infantile. This is the sort of film in which the heroes are so sickeningly sweet you find yourself rooting for the villains - at least they are more interesting! Does this film have any merit? Is it worth watching? If you are under the age of 16, the answer might be yes - otherwise, it will be an insult to your intelligence.",2
"Complete bakwaas in story, dialoge, dramatization, editing and accuracy. 3.5 ghante ka torture .. Hoping someone will edit cut it down to 15 minutes and post it on Youtube ( hehe)

politically correct, historically inaccurate, financially flushed, glamorized notions ... look at Ashoka - I personally hated that - after all these reviews, I a can only imagine what a torture it would be sit through 3.5 hrs. Modern day movie makers insist on showing every little piece of crap they get on film - editing and dramatization has absolutely no meaning.. On a tangent here - look at old and new Don... the older director gives more credit to the Audience than the newer one... the new ones make it a point to spell out the subtleties consequently destroying the entire scene ( got that off my chest )

The 10 lines rule is quite painful. I am not a big writer like Mr. Sardarji above ... Let us hope this gets submitted - or else I will have to copy and paste his stuff here - just to fill the lines.",1
"After a uneven first thirty or forty minutes that is half composed of overwrought -- sadistic and nearly pornographic -- sequences about the training of Russian espionage agents called Sparrows, the film emerges as an adroit combination of James Bond like thrills and Le Carre quality spy-world reporting and plotting. The misconceived excesses of the Sparrow-school sequences aside, the direction and writing, casting and acting all shine. Ms. Lawrence 's performance is mesmerizing. One hopes for sequels that will take us through the intricate revelations of the trilogy of Red Sparrow novels, timely allegory of the Kremlin candidate and all.",8
"I sincerely came upon this movie with a wish that Sofia Coppola would show some (potential) talent in filmmaking with her resources and her position in the film industry. I wished she would made a splash in a mundane, tired American Cinema. I really did since Virgin Suicide was a quite some effort.

Unfortunately, Lost in Translation was badly written, and it falsely disguised as a character film with no characters that could carry the film. This is a senseless film if not only mediocre. Do not fooled by the hype of it being a subtle, silent, private moments kind of film; Lost in Translation is almost self-indulging to a large extend. Its cliche are embarassingly student film like, with the usual cultural differences, and ha ha that's wacky about the Japanese type of humour. It is severely ignorant and racist. In other words, brainless humour.

The private moments are too familiar, the emotional reactions (or lack of) towards each other's spouses have been told too many time in plays and films, and the usual emptiness one feels is overstretched. Nothing in this film and no characters in it are idiosyncratic, nor utterly themselves, nor special enough for us to be attracted to.

It is about a space that is neither spatial (nothing about the notion of ""lost"") nor emotional. It is purely narcissistic of what Sofia Coppola as a writer wants. The film apparently suffers.

It is as if the writer merely had a general idea of how a fading and aging star might have felt, or a young neglected wife would have gone through, and put together a cinematic story. It just does not work that way. It is purely writer's type of self-indulgence. There is nothing ""sensitive"" towards emotions nor towards relationships with people, with spaces, with oneself. The film is not thoughtful in its writing and building.

It is obviously a failed attempt of an inexperienced writer/director making a film about life as she has no knowledge of such, at least not conceptually and intuitively.

Bill Murray gives a decent performance but unfortunately is limited by the character he portrays. A man with (past) glory left with much room and space to introspect is a notion worth exploring. But the director/writer has looked pass this and subsequently made a film about a whiny (rich) man and cliche rendering of her idea of mid life crisis.

A philosopher wanna be young woman who claims to have a philosophy degree, goes around town and shrines to find inner peace and spirituality is still only a wanna be.

Put all this together leaves a film which is a bad imitation of neon light city (spatial and emotional relations) as has been done successfully by Wong Kar Wai, and private gestures of emotional life and intimacy as done quietly yet profoundly by Lynn Ramsay (also just had her sophomore effort with ""Movern Callar"").

It could have been beautiful to explore a relationship between an older person and a younger one. This theme is already intriguing to explore properly. Unfortunately the film ends up with a question, ""why are these people feeling so empty, oh poor stars, they must suffer..."" Even if so, the film could have been all about that. It goes nowhere.

There are moments which are noteworthy and lighthearted. They earn a few laughs. But overall, it is a overhyped film where its supporters blindly believe it as a beautiful, sensitive film. And I don't even want to go into commenting the cinematography and editing, etc..

It ends up an insignificant film (which is unfortunate) and I wish the filmmaker makes a better film next time.",4
"Man was this bad.

You would think two of my favorite actors, Bateman and Reynolds, would have gotten me through this. But no.

This was a very unfortunate script about two men, one married and a father, the other a swinging actor. Gross humor, targeted to the lowest common denominator in existence.

This switching lives story has been told a thousand times. We didn't need this iteration. It's been done so much better in the past. There was no reason to make this film.

I will say that because they are such marvelous actors, Reynolds and Bateman were able to wring one or two realistic character emotions at the end

Disappointing.",2

Peter Parker a wimp, Peter Parker picked on, Peter Parker nerdy and smart, Peter Parker lives with his Aunt and Uncle, Peter Parker likes a girl, Peter Parker uncomfortable with girls, Uncle gets killed, blah, blah blah. What a complete joke of a movie....backers of this movie cared about one thing: making money. They had no desire to produce a smidgen of anything original or unique.

Second half moved along, but this was simply a bad movie....quite clear the producers simply wanted to throw something out there to continue the Spider Man franchise.

Worst spiderman movie yet.......by a long shot.",2
"I gave this movie a 7 out of 10. Hopefully that prevents my review from suffering many unhelpful votes from Marvel fans just because I think Man of Steel and TDK trilogy are more watchable, more interesting, and I felt more involved in those movies.

This movie had its moments and to be honest, nothing is really wrong with the movie. It does what Captain America is about. Maybe that is the problem. I agree that this movie is fun, but I don't think it is great. It did seem somewhat predictable and maybe that is why I don't feel this movie is a 9 or 10 like many others.

I think Marvel is smart in cashing in on the 'to be continued' type of endings for all the Marvel movies. Like others of the Marvel Universe phases, this had some type of ending after the credits. But to be honest, I had no idea what it was even talking about. Similar to Winter Soldier. If you aren't a die-hard Captain America fan, you just won't feel satisfied as you would with Batman or Superman.

In short, the movie is good, not great.",7
"Already destroyed got ending. And now destroying its legacy 😐. Stop. Just stop. Stop producing such shows in an era where we keep getting stupid worthless series every now and then.

"Adam Sandler now looking old gets another lame script out from the bottom of the barrel to comply with his Netflix deal.

At least he got Netflix to give him and his family a holiday to Europe.

Woody Allen and Diane Keaton have already starred in a murder mystery comedy. It was called Manhattan Murder Mystery. It was much better than this feeble effort.

It does not get a one star rating because it does have a laugh or two. There are more references to the Hay Fever drug Claritin than there are actual laughs.

Sandler plays New York beat cop Nick Spitz who once again fails his detective exams. He does not this to his hairdresser wife Audrey (Jennifer Aniston.) When she mentions that she expects something more than a gift card for her anniversary, he books a vacation to Europe.

On the plane Audrey meets Viscount Charles Cavendish (Luke Evans) who invites them to his luxury yacht. It is more enticing than their coach holiday. At a family gathering Uncle Quince (Terence Stamp) announces that he is leaving his entire fortune to his new wife and is then promptly murdered when the lights go out.

French detective Inspector de la Croix inexplicably and without any evidence or motive decides Nick and Audrey are the main suspects. As both try to clear their names the bodies pile up further.

The film aims to be an Agatha Christie pastiche but it fails. It is just stupid, unfunny and bland.",2
"Before Titanic was released, Cameron had the idea to do Avatar, but no studio would do the film because of the huge budget and Cameron doubted the special effects ability to show Hometree properly.

However, more than a decade after Titanic, Cameron finally got Avatar done. This is not a tremendous film, because it is merely a special effects movie that takes away from what could have been an original imaginative story.

Plus, I wasn't very much in favor of Sam Worthington being the lead actor. I enjoyed him as Marcus in Terminator 4, but I felt he was wooden and basically could have phoned in his performance with this movie. He seems like he's just reading his lines and not really a part of the film at any point.

Perhaps the most surprising thing in the movie is Zoe Saldana as Neytir, since I've seen her in a few movies as a supporting or lesser-used character, but she has a breakout performance here. She is very unrecognizable due to her being digitally changed to look like a Na'vi.

I was happy about Giovanni Ribisi being a villain-type in the film, but disappointed when he was barely on screen (as he's my favorite actor).

Acting aside, this film is nothing really amazing in terms of special effects. It's all been seen before, and it really just looks like a live-action movie of World of Warcraft. I did originally enjoy the movie, but on repeat viewings I grow to detest it more and more just because the special effects hogs the whole 160 minutes. It takes away from the story and makes me careless about it all.

I will probably only watch this movie due to someone else (a friend, girlfriend, etc.) asking me to watch it. However, I will not watch it on my own because I have no enjoyment watching it. I cannot wait for it to end.",4

I've read comics all my life, in fact, I still do. The way that the characters in this film are portrayed in this film they would never understand most of the dialogue in a comic book.

I would say the target audience is for the 10 and under crowd. I wouldn't pay to watch this in the theater, but that's what subscription television is for. There is good comedy, but if you're a post adolescent, I think you would find it... Kiddy.",5

"The premise of this screenplay begins with a lie to the audience; at the beginning of the film, a somber title comes on saying that ""due to respect for the survivors, names have been changed in this film"". This implies that the events of the film are true, and that the writers are showing respect.

Neither of these two things are true. The Cohen Brothers, after winning the Oscar for Best Writers (not before), eventually came out and admitted the story was entirely fictional. So much praise had been heaped on them, that no-one seemed to care at that point.

It would be great of newspapers worked the same way. Bush would never have been criticized when no WMD's were found.

Why does this matter, and who cares at this point?

When I first saw this movie, I was disturbed by the way the kidnap victim, the mother, was portrayed: as comic relief. Her running from her kidnappers was comical, the way she was shown running around in the snow with a bag over her head was comical, and even her death (her skewed legs upside down) was shown as comical.

The son, however, who was terrified for his mother, was not shown comically. So here we have a screenplay where the writers showed a terrified victim as comedy, and the son's terror for his mother dismissed. If this screenplay had been based on true events, to say this was disrespectful both to the mother and the son is an understatement. Imagine being the son who survived your mother's kidnapping and murder, and seeing her portrayed in this way.

But that's OK, because we find out later the whole thing was fictional. Except for the fact that I wasn't the only one upset by the way the victims were presented; other people, in particular victims rights groups, were too. Then we find out that we had been jerked around, that it was all a fiction.

Does that make it any more acceptable? Imagine your favorite movie that moved you because it was based on true events; then you find out years later it was all done so you would buy a ticket, and you had been deceived. This is what the Cohen Brothers did to their audience.

Good writers? Sure. Ethical people? You decide.

But respectful of their audience and to murdered people?

Apparently, not very.",3
"I like Sci-fi movies. I loved the Prestige from Nolan. In the the other end I didn't care for Inception which I found really boring.

This movie is a disappointment and I was not expecting anything. The story line is the main problem. Many things don't make sense and/or are magically happening. You can buy into the premise the earth is dying. But then you also have to buy that the main character has been guided to NASA by a himself using gravity trough a black hole created by Aliens... All of that to send a message to his daughter so she can find whatever truth about gravity and lift humanity into space so they can have farms there.. What? WTF? It feels like the Nolans tried to hide the stupidity of their script by piling up a lot of BS together so we feel overflowed with information and give up.

Also, all the suspense and the drama feels fake and constructed and I didn't care about any of the characters, not even the main one. A character has to die, whatever I don't care. Die already. The side plot with the brother. I don't give a damn.

There is many other holes and illogical things in this movie that are annoying and really difficult to buy. Like the evil Dr. Mann. Can't the NASA screen out cowards psychopaths when choosing a hero to save humanity? I guess not when they choose the to send a farmer that used to be in NASA 10 years ago on their last chance mission because he happened to try to break in their complex yesterday night. It makes perfect sense.

Well there is many other comments here explaining the inconsistencies and plot holes so I will not go in more details.",1

"""Barbie"": Greta Gerwig's new film manages to be extremely creative and original while, at the same time, a bit generic. The film starts strong with an impeccable introduction referencing ""2001: A Space Odyssey,"" and then transitions to the gigantic dollhouse that is Barbieland. The production design is simply incredible, the use of CGI is imperceptible, the practical effects are great, the costumes are unique, and the makeup and hair contribute to the excellent art direction. The performances are all good, especially those of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, who as Ken manage to steal the scenes several times. The weakest point lies in the script, which hits and misses at every moment. Its execution is good, the story itself works well, even without explaining some details. Nothing comes close to hindering the experience. Greta aims to deliver strong critiques and attempts to remain neutral, but at a specific moment, she forces it too much, causing a disconnection with the viewer. In the following scene, there's a spectacular sequence involving Ken, creating a sensation that his storyline is better. It's not; it's just more entertaining. The only ""weak"" storyline is that of the human mother-daughter duo and the executives. It's one of the weaker aspects of a good, fun, exciting, and creative film, which falls short of being even better due to stumbling over its details.",8
"It's been very interesting watching where the Marvel Cinematic Universe has gone and is moving towards after the events of Avengers: Endgame. After being left the shield by Steve Rogers, I was very eager to see where Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes' story thread would lead. Unlike something like WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is a much more conventional addition to the franchise. Thankfully, that wasn't a detriment. This series plays very much on the legacy that the shield has left in this universe and I thought that aspect held the show together from start to finish. There's a lot to praise about this series, but it's definitely not perfect. Here are my thoughts on The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Picking up after the events of Avengers: Endgame and dealing with real-world issues, this series gets off to a slow start, in a good way. Giving us a new backstory for Sam and diving deeper into the mind of Bucky, we get some semblance of what really goes on in their lives, outside of the massive team films. With a new group called The Flagsmashers looming and the government appointing an unworthy man as the new Captain America, drama ensues. Between these two threats and many other characters/storylines throughout the series, I found myself glued to the screen for the majority of it. What this series suffers the most from, however, is the fact that it feels too much like a movie.

Yes, I'm aware that the point of these new mini-series' from Marvel are meant to feel in continuity with the films, but this felt like a two to three-hour film that was stretched into six episodes. Yes, there is plenty going on in each episode, but some of the pacing felt slow at times in comparison to episodes like the finale. I'm not saying I need action every second, but I admit that the series felt like it took a few detours as it made its way to a conclusion. Still, most story threads come to a conclusion in the final episode and it all feels earned by the end. If for nothing else though, this duo is a blast to watch on-screen.

Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan have always been great in these roles and their chemistry in films like Captain America: Civil War only ever elevated everything else around them. Not just their chemistry but their charisma as actors in general just radiates off the screen. Add performers like Erin Kellyman, Daniel Brühl, and Wyatt Russell, and the series just gets even better. Every single performance in this series is entirely committed and it shows. The series ends up roughly where most viewers will see it going, but it's done in a very satisfying way and I wish I had seen certain moments on the big screen. These series' are being made like movies, so it's upsetting that they can't be shown on the big screen, but that's another discussion.

Overall, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier delivers on action, drama, and real-world issues being discussed on a regular basis. I loved watching this series very much, even if it felt a little slow at times. I could've easily seen this in theatres as a long film, but it also works as a series that slides right in after Avengers: Endgame. There are quite a few ideas here that I very curious to see evolve in future shows/movies. If you've followed this franchise for any period of time, I absolutely recommend checking this one out.",8
"The first time I saw this movie, it made me up! although I saw the Godfather series not in the order because first I saw part 2 then the last one and after all the first one ""THE GODFATHER"". But when I think, among them part two was something else! The Godfather is a violent movie which is about a mafia family and their story and it is really a good one! Specially because it is from a perfect director and writer ""Francois Ford Capello"". I really recommend you to see all parts. This movie has a very slow theme and if you liked this director's film I recommend you to watch ""Apocalypse Now"" too 'cause that is a good movie as well.",9
"This movie is like the garbage bin from the back of the Mall foudcourt - you find in it, stuffed and partially chewed, pieces of Wandavision, Dr. Strange, Army of the Dead, Ghostbusters, even some Matrix images, 2 actors currently working under Kurtzman, Star Trek crumbs, Maleficent visuals, Fringe elements, a random Japanese landscape, some mangled Everything Everywhere All At Once ideas,and the list may go on. All on top of the other, not like referrences, nooo -.but as if someone's mind is a hoarder and finally tried to make some spring cleaning... as I said, the trash layering or chaotic mix is the general impression.

Who messed this up so bad? The lines are lame, were they written by some AI? The same one that messed up the latest Dr Who, the new Orville and Star Trek Strange New Worlds? What is going on with this weak scripts and - understandably, after all - poor lines delivery?

Superhero movies from marvel felt right, this doesn't. When their plots tap into pattern from mythology, reality and science, they click and remain anchored in something we feel authentic. Dr. Strange here is as if someone wanted to destroy that, like tear ut down, harbouring a secret hatred against superhero movies.

And no way did I want to see another Army of the Dead installation, with Marvel characters, did nobody check this movie before giving it the OK?! Like, who said, let'a mash up old things, throw in some Marvel bits and bibs and we'll be fine? Is Sam Raimi still functional, or are his wires crossed ,he forgot he alreafy did the same things - the cursed book, the zombies, the whacky one liners, the outbof nowhere character showups?

The young superhero - blatantly named America (I mean, c'mon! ""America has to be saved"" ), is structured in a haste, almost schematic, with some emotional elements glued onto a cardboard structure, sap story, ride the diversity wave, wham bam thabk you ma'am... what IS this? Testing how blinded and stupid the public has become?! There ia a strong need for pushing back, or else we'll end up with only this type of productions, that check various elements from a key list, put some filling in and feel like a plate of spam! This is not video SEO, it is suppossed to be a movie! The way it fails as a movie serves in mocking whatever elements it checked on that list...

Go see it, as an example of what it should not have been.",3
"There are a few things I think most people will agree on: The Production values are great, the cast is star-studded and generally well acted, and it isn't a stupid movie. The delivery, however, I think will depend really heavily on the viewer. It's not an art house sensibility, more like something as distinctive of as Wes Anderson. It does what it wants in terms of pacing, self awareness of the the characters, subversion of verisimilitude-even as it goes to great lengths in its exposition to convey a truth about people in power and the super wealthy.

I think what makes some of it a bit confusing is it respects the viewer enough to have idiosyncratic character reactions, narration, and uncanny aspects to the film... but then doesn't trust us enough to take away the message on the screen, which is not subtle. The unreality continues, as some of this did take place in reality and there are numerous flights of fancy that take place, which transgress the actual narrator, further breaking the 4th wall.

Basically, what I'm saying is it's real weird. It's going to be your vibe or it's not. Had the pacing clipped along better I think many of the choices would have played better. As is, this is something like a 6.5 rounded up. The message is pretty perfunctory. Rich people have no morals? No way! Still. You look at the American landscape these days and it's hard to say the average American doesn't need something spoon-fed to them.",7
"I'm so sad that I'm writing such review about this movie. The movie is so boring, no plot, also the crimes of grindelwald? I mean... the opening scene is perfect. Also, they cut scenes which contain serious information about the characters. I watched it 1 time and when I decided to re-watch it again I felt terrible boring. I hope Fantastic Beasts 3 to not be a let down.",6
Goodfellas and Casino in slow motion. The only good scene was the nurse at the end telling him to be quiet and even that was ruined as the camera needlessly tracked her slow walk down a hallway so we could see her check-in Sheerhan's file.,2
"I have never written a negative review, but this is just so boring! I understand that Marvel wants to try something new. But this is just so incredible boring... I'm glad I used the free month of Disney+ to watch it. Now I can cancel the subscription without feeling left out.",1
This film was so poor I left feeling the whole MCU was less because of its existence. I now think twice before putting on any MCU film knowing that this is the Endgame.,2
Guy has NO BUSINESS ever making another film. GARBAGE.,1
"As with most TV series, endless padding and filler means that the story not only moves at a snail's pace, but the narrative and character arcs get stretched too thin. It loses its narrative thrust, and eventually just plods and meanders along.

I tried watching this after rave reviews, but the pacing was unbearable.

While there are things to praise, particularly the production values and shot framing, as well as some of the acting, at its core this is nothing new.

The zombie apocalypse has been done over and over, and having it caused by a fungus instead of a virus is not the clever twist the writers want it to be. Especially since that's not how a cordyceps works. It's like someone watched that Planet Earth documentary snipped on youtube and thought ""that's a cool idea for a horror franchise"". It may work for a video game, but it's still stupid.

The core plot of the grizzled guy adopting an immune girl and protecting her as they traverse the wasteland is decent, but not really creative either.

There's nothing here that hasn't been done better in films that came before like Dawn of the Dead.

The acting is hit and miss. Pedro Pascal is servicable, but overall forgettable. No comparison to the game's original.

I would recommend sticking to the game.",2
"Its a good movie to watch. Not gonna win any Oscars.

One thing that annoyed me was Olibia Cooke huffing and puffing through the entire movie. If she moved 3 steps, its like she ran a mile non stop.. other than that she does a good job",6
"Its been a long time since anybody last touched upon the ""Old Fashioned"" issue of Brain-drain. The film does, in places, look like the director picked up too many issues at the same time, but the net sum is a movie that is very, very inspiring and thought provoking. So if the proof of the lemon is in having it, this one definitely takes the cake. AR Rehman's music is definitely class. The cinematography is also excellent. I was particularly impressed by the way the Turbine shots were taken and edited. You can definitely find traces of Lagaan here and there. But I guess that is to be expected when half the team working on the project is the same. All in all a good movie.",10
"I really like watching super hero movies, but The Boys is really something different. This gives us a little bit of the sinister side to a Superhero. Yes they save the world but also on their bad side they leave a lot the imagination. I have watched the first season and I loved it. Yes you have your superman, Aquaman and Wonderman type hero's here but their characters have a demeanor in which it gave me a WTF reaction which liked. If you are a Superhero lover watch it and see what you think. But all in all its good viewing with good effects and storyline. 👍👍👍",9
"The show is pretty much the same as the video game (if you have played it) with small changes here and there. I feel like the quality is definitely there. It doesn't look like a complete money grabbing strategy but rather a helpless retelling of an amazing tale.

I was severely disappointed by the casting that they did in this series. If they wanted to stay true to the original plot then they should have put in a little extra palm grease into the casting. I did like the VFX and the makeup though. It was so natural and well done. It didn't seem artificial at all. They definitely took their time with that and I am glad. Now, I know where the budget went. 6/10. A Super amazing story for anyone who has not played the game.",6
"I'm not often driven to write a review but this needs to be said. Billed with rave reviews expectation was high, but this film is totally over rated, Unengaging, uninteresting & down-rite boring.. at best contrived & designed to bamboozle the General viewing demographic into believing it is an amazing masterful multi layered work of Genius, in fact its simply a long winded futile effort at re-branding the matrix concept of virtual reality.... The first hour is taken up by efforts to convince and educate the Audience at the lowest intellectual level, so anyone with half an 'o'level awaits the actual story with Grinding misery... when eventually the director feels we are up to speed what we have in store is just a jumbled overly contrived story of not particularly interesting content.. the only redeeming feature this film has to offer is a fleeting philosophical moment of ""what if...."" please take a pillow and a book if you choose to endure this films transparent 2hrs+ of flashing lights loud atmospheric musical score... I'm generally a positive glass is half full kinda Guy.. but this is definitely an empty cigarette-butt tainted post hangover stale beer bottle of a film....",1
"All the other reviews are correct. This film is shallow, weird, disjointed, entertaining, funny, odd, violent, ridiculous, cool, cringy. I liked it though. Switch your brain off first and just go along for the ride.",7
"Brilliant first half. The character building, the interpersonal relations, and the little scheme of the family was more than enough. Then, the second half they turn to over-the-top dramatics, plot twists and drizzle on some moral preaching at the end. The movie could have been just as great without it, simply because the casting, writing, and development in the first half was incredible.",5

"I'm 62. I've seen just about every great motion picture ever made, and then some. In that time, I've learned, sadly, that in Hollywood nothing succeeds like hype. This was one of the most boring, disappointing, superficial films I have ever seen in my life. It never reached more than skin deep, and the acting abilities of both Murray and Johanssen were minimal, at best. I just loved how the first reviews on this site are all TEN STARS!!!!!!, wannabee movie critics waxing enthusiastic and labeling this piece of cinematic tripe a ""CLASSIC,"" while using liberal amounts of stupifying, unbelievable, glowing descriptions that go so far beyond the pale that you wonder if we're even talking about the same picture. You couldn't put a million dollars in an off-shore bank account in my name to make me watch this colossal turkey again. It was pure pain to sit through, plain and simple.",1

This show is just another Netflix rubbish. Does not make any sense,1
"Awesome movie! It's thrilling, with twists and suspense.. just a wonderful serial killer movie. Everyone acted really well. How the brilliant but jumpy police officer gets his act together when the need arises, under the guidance of a master in the game, is fantastic to watch. The way the senior explains how to read a criminal from a crime scene was interesting. And the way the bookish knowledge of the brilliant youngster paid off at time of need was also wonderful. Essentially a series of women are killed in a certain way, with their hair tied to their back to their wrist and neck slit. The use of pressure point by the killer to make the victim faint is explained. Overall great movie by. Hard to believe the movie is made by a debutant Vignesh Raja. He has set the bar really high for himself in the future!",9
"If I talk about the first season it's brilliant. It keeps you interested and excited with the turns, twists and thrills but when it comes to the second season it falls flat and immature like watching a half cooked story.",7
"I love science and science fiction, but this movie just did not do anything for me. Without writing a spoiler, I could not find a plot in which someone could write a full movie script, there was no empathy towards characters when the bad stuff happened and the ending was cut short. I don't often write reviews because everybody has different opinions and I always like to disregard them all and judge for myself whether I like it or not but I do feel like this movie wasted 90 minutes of my life. Yes the CGI was good but no more impressive than other films coming out recently so what did this really have to offer? A full celebrity A-List cast? With only two characters in the entire film, that doesn't really say much. Watch it for yourself, you may like it, I may just be the one person that doesn't, but at least I've said my bit.",2
Slow story but episode by episode it increases our excitement.,8
"This is for the What if...? Marvel Show as LB decided to remove it right after I finished it. The show is the definition of Meh. With a an ending I wasn't crazy for this Easily is the worst Show out of all of the Marvel shows. Theres just something missing about this show. The animation is pretty good a d The voice acting is nice. The show lacks for a Lot of there episodes. The Doctor Strange episode, Kilmonger episode and maybe even the Zombie Episode was pretty good but the Others fall flat and doesn't hold my Interest very much. The finale also basically ruins the Kilmonger episode which was my favorite. This show Dissapointed me by a lot. Hopefully when they make a Season 2, they can make more Interesting Episodes, The Bad/Meh episodes outnumber the good ones. This is something every Marvel fan can skip. Maybe watch the Doctor Strange episode just for MoM, Thats it. This Felt more of like an Experiment for Animation in the MCU.",5
"Lots of negative reviews but watch all the episodes and put your expectations into perspective. A good reboot with great special effects. The story line flows fine, it's a show for the whole family which is a rarity these days. Good job Netflix, look forward to season 2.",9
"This movie was enjoyable, even if it was very long. But while the cinematography and acting had the usual professional feel of a Nolan film, I was shocked at how lazily the plot had been constructed and the scenes executed. The number of little holes in the plot is pathetic, and there are far too many distracting cliché-solutions and impossibilities for this to be considered a good film. While Bane works for me and the fights with him are great, a number of action scenes are laughable since Batman gets attacked by 6-8 guys who insist on moving toward him and slapping him with their automatic weapons. It is just ridiculous and unnecessary - why not take the time to construct a setup that makes sense, with them fighting in terrain that benefits Batman, or have Batman use some gadgets to pull it off? Nope - they were too lazy for that. All the way through, the movie had this feel - that whoever responsible didn't bother to have it make sense, didn't bother instructing extras, didn't bother come up with ideas that could move the overall theme along... In itself it is an OK film, primarily because the cast is top-drawer, but the prequels and the hype makes it a disappointment. In many ways it feels more like what I would expect from the new Spiderman (Which I haven't seen).",5
"I watched the original series back in the day when I was a kid and I just loved every moment.

Had high expectations for this one. First season first episodes where actually good and entertaining. Then it became almost like a soap opera, where family relationships and family drama take over the whole show. Yes I get it ! They need to behave like a family, because that's what they are but the whole notion is ever present in everything they do and accomplish. It's not just the script.

Last season one episode was finally a good one. Then second season began and lo and behold, more soap opera and more family time ! Hurray !!! Nope ... it's just more of the same in different situations. A related aspect is the way the characters evolve. It's just too much stereotyping for me ... that much that things start to become predictable. No surprises, no inteligent twists. All it matters is that we are a family. No matter how imperfect and human we are. The same soap opera ...

Then, Smith ... the actress. I mean. I can't even describe how bad she is. Even the Robinson kid is a better actor.

The pros. Excellent cgi and camera work. Production wise is really good.

Saw the first 3 episodes on season 2. And that was it. Got tired of the old same. But if you like soap operas and predictable scripts, this one must be for you !",4
"Tom Hardy was perfectly cast!! The humor wasn't forced; and it felt natural to the characters as established in the previous film.

The PG-13 rating may have hampered the violence a bit, but it does NOT detract from the film.

Sure, there are some predictable elements but they're were so very well done.

A sequel just as good as it's predecessor.

And the post credits scene...ALL THE YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.",8
"Sadly this movie was boring. I guess the director and the suit's is to blame.

Tom Hardy is fine in his role and did all that he could with crap. Bad CGI didn't make it better either.

To bad , the first movie was entertaining, this was not !",4
"Most stupid show i've ever seen. I watched these a whole season and i litteraly can't laugh with these stupid and annoying characters. Bad actors, bad writing and none humor.

There are a lot of bad shows out there but these is more bad then my top 50. Why the heck are people laughing with this dumb show? I'm a Belgian and here are really bad actors and bad movies. If i didn't know better, i would think this is Dutch and Flemish quality.",1
Two episodes in and I just wanna say that I never appreciated enough Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany as actors. Their roles are perfect. Can't wait to see what this show is bringing to MCU phase four.,8
"I expected more and I am disappointed. I mean there could have been more suspense elements cause sometimes it was boring and too long. They could cut at least 30 minutes. I have to admit that the special effects and the picture were great. It is not a must see and I would recommend it to teenies. I won`t see the sequel. Watch instead ""The Ring"" from the same director which I really enjoyed. My wife and I vote not more than 5/10. Just average. On IMDb too overrated. I still cannot believe that this made over 300 Mio. US$ at the box office. I hope Hollywood will create more precious pearls than this black pearl.",5
"The continuation of Francis Ford Coppola's masterpiece. The Godfather.

"Indian film industry is the most prolific in the world and yet very few of our movies make their mark on the global scale and I am not talking about the financial aspect of this industry but the lack of imagination and finesse. Hence the Indian masses cannot be blamed for their taste in cinema simply because they have rarely been exposed to truly magnificent cinema.

This is partly because most of the commercial movies are profit-centric as they ought to be but these movies revolve around a nucleus of a few 'stars' and the producers bank on these 'brand-ambassadors' to make the movie click; plus the profit from the sales from the movie soundtrack is a very crucial part in the success of a movie and this incumbency on songs is unparalleled which leads to so many abrupt speed breakers in the narration of a story so that these songs can be accommodated. And it works sometimes but the calamity is that every movie is focused around the same philosophy.

This movie stands apart because it does not fall prey to any of the above. There is no 'brand ambassador' for this movie. The forte of this movie lies in its simplicity, sincerity and substance and much of that credit goes to the director Divakar Banerjee.

At the crust of the movie are two of the finest actors in the country today; Anupam Kher as the ordinary middle class fifty six year old man (Khosla)in Delhi whose only drive in life is to build a new house for his family that has his wife (Kiran Juneja), his elder son Balwant(Ranveer Shourie), his second son Chirounjilal aka Cherry (Parvin Dabas) and his daughter. Balwant is a jobless waster and Cherry works for an MNC but wants to leave the country for a better job in America.Navin Nishcol (Bapu) and Vinay Pathak (Asif Iqbal) are also assets to this movie.

Boman Irani(Khurana) is a very wealthy and sly business man who captures the plot of land that Khosla had bought for building his dream house. Now if Khosla wants the plot of land that belongs to him he must buy it from Khurana, the problem though is that he doesn't have the money as he spent his life's savings to buy that plot of land. This movie is about how an ordinary middle class old man tries to reclaim his stolen (robbed) dream back from the powerful clasps of this crooked property dealer.

The film looks real. Actors don't wear designer costumes, there are no exquisite locations but what it does have is ingenuity and a sense of realm. The movie does not focus on a couple of 'brand ambassadors' but does justice to characters and all the actors have done a commendable job in keeping it real. The characterization is superb. The dialogues are witty and have a subtle Indian flavour in them. It also has a hint of dark sense of humour. The opening scene is funny but is inconspicuously and heavily sarcastic which is excellent dark comedy material. You will see many of those in the movie. I would agree that Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron is an excellent reference point.

The movie does not exaggerate and neither does it take itself lightly. There are many scenes in the movie that manifest the problems of the common man who lives a mundane life and is helpless. Those who watch movies are these common men and they would love to see something that they can relate to.

The best Hindi movie that I've seen since Lagaan. Will remember it for is originality, sarcasm and its intrinsic common man appeal.",9
"I dont even get this movie. I didnt jump ONCE. I wouldnt pay money to see this movie but I would suggest it for something like a family movie night. Over all it was produced very well and i can tell effort went into it, but it was boring.",6
"Mainly scar and the hyenas but I just spent the whole film thinking ""these aren't the right voices"" for all the characters..

Lion king original is a masterpiece and the remake just hasn't cut it for me!",3
"Like a kid trying to get your attention, the movie yells and annoys a lot. And even if this it's just an exact replica of what really happened, that only means that reality was annoying, not a justification for the movie.

Clearly the excess got into the creators, which meant at least 30 too many minutes in the film that turned it into a boring one, even when there are some brilliant sequences or scenes (Belfort creation of a success until they move into a bigger building; drug night and driving back in the Ferrari; the FBI meeting with Belfort in the yate; Belfort's meeting with the banker).

DiCaprio is great as addict smart trash; Hill both annoying and funny at the same time; and Margot Robbie distracts with pure beauty, but not enough to make it less long, dense, repetitive and at times boring.",5
"I liked it initially, but then the stories derails completely, going from one unbelievable scene onto the next. I liked the scenes with Batman using his Bat toys, but a good film should also have a believable script.",3
"Funny and charming, this film was engaging and exciting. It was pure enjoyment and I found my self laughing out loud at all of the subtle comedy used which was truly masterful. One of my favourite films I've seen this year. When you see so many big names, often it can ring alarm bells - all stars no substance. But each performance was strong, Christian Bale showed his versatility yet again although with equally strong performances from his supports. I have a feeling this film is I'll received for the wrong reasons. It is quirky, weird and funny in all the right ways, and I left feeling better!",9
"Story is good but the interest is lost at the beginning episodes itself, not well-done. Renfri was a good character killed at the beginning itself that was really stupid. Actress who did yennefer didn't match the role. Not at all what I expected",2
"""1917"" is Oscar-bait of the highest caliber. Which means is technically astute, highly pretentious--especially for a war movie--with director/writer Sam Mendes wanting to attract attention by filming it in a seemingly singular shot and employing cinematographer legend Roger Deakins to give extra-polished sight to his vision. The movie is clever in this way, as what we see covers its superficial emotional shortcomings with success--it's like watching someone play a highly-detailed video game.

Don't get me wrong, ""1917"" is emotional. But it also uses tear-jerking as a method of extracting emotion. It is filled with shock value. In particular, the scene in which Lance Corporal Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) and Lance Corporal Schofield (George MacKay) begin their journey through no-man's land. From afar, it looks like muddy terrain, but the closer we look, the more we see horrifying dead bodies just barely sticking out the mud which undoubtedly hides even more horror. Yet even when there is beauty surrounding them, there is no time to stop and admire it. The message must be delivered otherwise 1600 men will die--it doesn't get more blunt than this.

Emotionally, ""1917"" is not a deep movie. Mendes took the inspiration from his grandfather who fought in the war and he fell to juvenile fascination. But while it doesn't delve into psychological and emotional complexities, the tragedies that ensue are candid. Mendes constantly keeps the clock ticking and pushes his characters into the maw of death again and again and we follow them helplessly. MacKay's constant tense face, his wide-open eyes, living in constant fear and agony, shows an inescapable fervor.

A scene which caught my eye is when Schofield meets a French girl with a new-born in a war-town house. For once, he stops, plays with the baby, almost as if he imagines him a father and husband and life is good. But quickly his expression changes, and he wakes up from his ""dream"". The scene in itself is, again, pretty standard but it is also a template for the common dream for every man and its vividness invites us to contemplate further--since the movie doesn't do it itself.

""1917"" makes the unseen pleasures of movies take a step back--things like emotional depth and complex, focused philosophies which permeate great movies and make us think about them over and over again. But even if it lacks greatness, its sudden blunt force trauma hits hard despite not lingering.",7
"I watched the show when I was a kid. I heard Netflix was doing it so I watched first two episodes. I told my wife about it and we watched them together. We both enjoyed it ! She laughed when the robot first says ""danger Will Robinson "".

I didn't like the movie....too dark.",9

"This film has good points of course; acting, camera work and the general look of the film are beyond reproach. However, the plot does not carry a film of this length and scope, and this proves to be a fatal flaw in the tapestry. The excessive time devoted to the unfolding of the relatively simple story makes a mockery of the otherwise fine efforts of the actors, and make them look overdramatised and pretentious. This is where the film crashes in the view of this critic, because a serious and dramatic film can absolutely not afford to be pretentious. Cut by 45 minutes, this film might well have been good. 4/10",4

"As an avid fan of Sherlock Holmes from a young age, my first thought when hearing about yet another screen adaptation was not a positive one. I felt like I had seen it all: the cheesy deerstalker imitations, the overused quotes, and of course, the common misinterpretation of Sherlock Holmes as an action hero. Though they were far from terrible, I always found myself verging on boredom. How different could BBC's Sherlock really be? The thing I didn't see coming was how far from the truth my expectations were. Much to my delighted surprise, Sherlock brought the same fast- paced, engaging adventure found in Conan Doyle's stories to a modern setting. I am happy to say that I have never once found myself forwarding through an episode or discovering a criminal before he is revealed. Though the seemingly endless waiting period between seasons of just three episodes each may sound unappealing to some, there is a reason so many followers are willing to pay that price. Each episode is packed full of intriguing plot and action, not to mention the clever scripting. Along with Benedict Cumberbatch's dark yet charismatic portrayal of Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman's take on Watson, I find myself hard- pressed to find flaw with the series. If there is one thing I should warn you about, it is to not start watching Sherlock until you have a weekend or so of uninterrupted time. Once you start, you won't be able to stop.",9
"So... If this is going to be in the new Oscars, wow then I thoght Oscars have no need more reputation anymore.

Yaiks!",4
"This show is so poorly conceived and implemented that it doesn't even deserve one point. Incredibly naive script, meaningless dialogues borrowed from Latin American TV series and mediocre acting. It's amazing how stupid viewers have become in recent years - only degenerates can rate this pile of visual rubbish so highly. Every aspect of this show, every episode, every line, just doesn't hold up to scrutiny.",1
Boring af i couldn't get trough the first 15 minutes of the first episode the only reason i watched is becauze its related to marvel people only like it becauze they think loki/tom hiddleston is hot don't get fooled by the fake fans and the story line is confusing af and boring.,1
"Excellent movie. Ashutosh Gowariker has written and produced in my view, a masterpiece. It has helped me understand that we are privileged to receive a good education, job, etc., but we should and must give back to society by sharing with the underprivileged the knowledge we have gained! Shah Rukh Khan is an excellent actor, the best in the world, and I am glad he was chosen to do this film. It is great seeing him in everyday clothes instead of costumes. It also gives much insight into the man, his ability to mimic and his interaction with children. It gives us some insight into the humanitarian work he does for the underprivileged in India. Truly a great movie with a new movie actress Gayatri Joshi!",10
Started watching this series at the start last year. The first season had me hooked the entire idea of the super heroes being the bad guys was an amazing idea and the execution was just as good. Altough season2 takes some time to start it never slows down when it does and is an amazing ride too,9
"I read all the books about 4 times over so far. This is a parody of the saga. Season 1 was OKish, don't remember much about season 2 apart from K Hivju, which was a good episode but season 3 is just awful. They turned interesting characters into hot messes and gave Ciri a narrative she never had in the books. She did not want to save the world unlike what the series insinuates.

The politics are convaluted and hard to follow for somebody who knows the story well, let alone somebody who never read the books. And don't get me started on Jaskier! What were they thinking?

Such a waste of a great potential!

Good thing Henry Cavill is parting ways. I'd like to think he did not enjoy shooting the mess that was season 3.",2
"Whats with this world? Something is really overated and something is underrated. Underated like Terminator Salvation,Event Horizon and similar sci-fi, but this , 8.0 i mean what!? This movie had good start , but after he lost his crew and he was solo accidentally on this planet i expected he is going to loose insanity now and start having hallucinations. I mean u are relaxed alone in planet and u are all doing fine throughout entire years without loosing your mind... They better had this tense mind blow stuff throughout this movie and weird hallucinations because you getting crazy by being solo, then soft movie like this one. IDK i was really bored watching. I really like Matt Damon and his movies but this one nah. Even his movie Elysium i found better and underated then this one.",5
"I mean the obvious interpretation is this is a story of substance abuse. Kids fooling around with something strange at parties, and it's fun at first, but eventually it gets to be too much, and before you know it, it's ruining your life.

Except now it's literal demons instead of metaphorical ones, and all they want to do is to hurt you and everyone you love. For a bit of a ""scared straight"" story, it's at least it's plenty spooky.

I appreciate the down to earth tone. These appreciably feel like real teenagers without going overboard, though I wasn't a fan of Jade's mom. I suppose, in the perspective of the movie, we're seeing things from the kids point of view, so the Mom is this overbearing force that sees all and knows all.

But all they ever show of her is being stressed out or nagging and failing to keep her kids in line. I know that's real mom stuff, but it's also kind of obnoxious. Maybe it makes me maudlin, but I would've liked a little more genuine affection before everything goes bad.",7
"This show only had hit or miss episodes. The Doctor Strange episode was amazing. The Thor episode was so bad. I enjoy the risks they took, but it simply didn't pay off. The comedy didn't work for me, ever. The concept was intriguing and the Watcher was fun. I simply cannot understand, why they made it so bland and childish. The jokes were funny, for a 3 year old. I didn't laugh at them. The whole story in the last 2 episodes was decent. Otherwise, just ok.",6
"Interstellar is deep minded and very good film made by one of best directors working today,nolan showed his masterclass of directing in every ascept,following by masterful acting of most of cast expecely mcconoughy and hathaway who were likeable but far more deeply connected to the plot that leaded to satisfaying ending,when they started to explaining to audience what was heppening towards end it was done in smart way and not in our nose pushed,interstellar is defienetly one of better sci fi films of last years with some scenes that could be more explored cause i think they had more to show us then they actually did",7
"The movie is fun, silly, and entertaining. Saw this in the theater which is the first time I've been in one since 2020 most people including myself for dressed up. Everyone interacted with the movie by cheering and clapping throughout. After the movie was over everyone was so uplifted that chatting in the lobby was actually a thing between strangers. That's a lot to get from a little movie about a small doll. I told my husband on the way home we will have to find a karaoke version of a song that Ken sings but not necessarily the one that Barbie does. Will Ferrell was unexpected and as always completely enjoyable.",9
A poorly paced movie with no plot The 5 stars for the good acting,5
"Zero character development. Supposedly deep friendships and love interests that appear out of nowhere. A plot which seems to have been thought of on a superficial level but not fleshed out. Corny script writing and obvious jokes.

Overall I was really disappointed with Loki and I do not understand the hype around the show. The plot seems to have been made so marvel can bring back previously killed-off characters in order to squeeze more money from.

One positive was the music, but it's intensity seemed contradictory to the flat and un-engaging story it played beside.",3
"Ive seen the series 2 Times Every episode. I am a big Marvel Fan.

The Character and stories are awesome and there are easter eggs to Avengers in some episodes threw the seasons.

There are few characters from the movies that you Will see in the series and i hope we get more seasons in the feature.

And maybe that some characters of the series come back in movies. That would be awesome!!

Cant wait tot see more hopefully!!",10
"Well, as soon as Manirathnam started to shoot for Guru, various theories started to flow among movie goers (like, it's the Ambani story kinda stuff).. And some controversies as well (like the Ambanis staking their claim to see it first)... So, this flick has aroused a lot of public interest even many months ago and with this as a background, it's been released.

Before starting my comments on the movie, lemme say something. . I've seen a lotta movies in English, Tamil, Hindi etc.. Out of all those movies, there are some directors who can handle their movies with such ease that the film stands as a visual treat, not only to the eyes but for the mind also. Now, Manirathnam is the emperor of such directors, in India, according to me. I'd put both my hands up in the air and shout aloud that he's one of the greatest directors ever to have walked our country. His movies stand as the perfect examples of how well a film can be taken, in their respective subjects. He presents his movies visually, so that one can take in the scenes in to his mind, rather than to be guided by mere dialogues.

Here, he combines hands with his team again (Rajiv Menon, Rahman, Gulzar, Sreekar Prasad to name a few good men...). The end result, a fantabulous experience named 'Guru'!! If I say this is the role of a life time for Abhishek, it's an understatement. He has presented such a subtle and quality acting that as soon as he gets introduced as the young Gurukant Desai, slowly he disappears and it's GuruBhai who steals the show!! Such a great acting this is and he excellently personifies the character of Guru in a terrific sense!! The way innocent Guru slowly rises in life and his gradual majestic magnanimity has been portrayed by Abhishek in a mind blasting manner.

Aishwarya too has given a decent performance throughout. She supports her husband and provides him with the encouragement he needs. Mithunda has given an excellent piece of acting (the way 'excellent' has been used… many more 'excellent's to follow) . Madhavan and Vidya Balan complete the wonderful acting circle of Guru.

Cinematography is great, to say the least. People who know Rajiv Menon will agree wholeheartedly that this is one of his wonderful works. He shares that chemistry with Manirathnam which boosts the film up, from other normal movies. The Music!! It's done by one of the most talented geniuses, Rahman!! When he combines hands with Manirathnam, we get to hear (and see, as well) some fantastic songs and background scores, and here too it holds. I personally liked very much 'Ey Hairathen' and the way it's been filmed. The other songs also are great! It's an unmistakable truth that in Manirathnam films, he portrays romance in such a way that it stays in our heart, long after the movie's gone. In Guru also, the romantic scenes have been excellently (there goes... another excellent!!) made.

As a whole, this is definitely a must watch for all and especially for Manirathnam fans, it's again a treat which has to be gobbled up again and again!! Go see it people, and get inspired!! PS:- today morning (20/01/2007), me and my best buddy Balu saw this movie in Tamil. Know what ? Today night, we both are going to see it again in Hindi !! (and, this is his idea !!).

Manirathnam. . . . . . . . . We salute you!!!!!",9
"I thought that the story and connecting to all Marvel movies is good, Its great to know more of T'Challa, the black panther and just a ""Average"" marvel movie, not like the others. Thats the 4 stars, the only reason it has four stars is because it part of Marvel, true honesty, it was way over hyped, and CGI was awful, what's important in the Marvel movies is a great end fight, yet this did not have any great fights, they just ended, and were not enjoyable like the other Marvel movie Universe series. All in all, it gives you a good look at who Black Panther is and a one watch to get the info, but terrible fight scenes, CGI the worst out of all the marvel movies, first marvel movie i was disappointed about, when people say infinity war is better, I'm baffled.",3
Hats off to Anurag Basu. This movie shows even chaos can be beautiful if rightly presented. From acting to direction each aspect of the movie was brilliantly executed. Loved it,10
"This movie is not that bad.It has some good sense to it,and some meaning to it also, the only problem is people don't have common sense to understand those meanings. srk did a good job in this movie, i am not a big fan of him, but i think he did good. i don't understand why people are trying to compare him to Hoffman,Penn, and hanks, there is no comparison, they did good in there movies, and srk did good in my name is khan.This movie is not the best bollywood movie ever made, and nor was 3 idiots, i am still waiting for that one movie. have and open mind when you watch this movie cause you well learn a lot about humanity. common sense and simplicity is key! 8\10",8
"Do not believe the 7/10 hype on IMDb. The only explanation is that half of this films budget (which by the way couldn't possible exceed 100.000 USD) was spent on bots posting good reviews. This film is one of the worst I've seen. Ever.

Why not place several trains ahead? Why did not the driver of the train ahead simply walk over to the Runaway Train and pull the brakes himself? Why not drive beside the train and push the button (the one the policemen tried to shoot(!))? Why not dumping sand or similar in front of the train? Why not ... well, remaster Runaway Train instead of filming this disaster?",2
"And i ve seen a lot of bad movies.

"Same old ! Not as good as all the hype, I was confused as what this was about.... it was the Worst mission Impossible in the series !",3
"This show has an amazing cast and the characters are written very well. The individual episodes are great, but if you are looking for a great main plot through all seasons, you will be disappointed, except for season 2 ,which in my opinion should have been the last.

Anyway, if you like the concept of Sherlock Holmes in a modern setup and you're amused with sarcasm and ridiculous situations , you might still enjoy watching all the episodes.",7
"Once upon a time QT was great. I haven't missed any of his films. Recall him saying that he would never marry cause he doesn't want to be distracted and wants to keep creating masterpieces. Well, QT, maybe it's time for you to start dating and get married. Cause except for the last 30 minutes this movie was just a waste of my time. I'd give credit for recreating atmosphere of the 70ies, attire, cars etc. But that's about it.",4
"Disappointing, Emotional BS, Family BS, Random Moments that try to be funny, Overpowered Women, Underpowered Thor, Boring 1st Hour & many more....

This movie was a disgrace to the entire franchise. Watching the avengers & other marvel movies that all lead up to this.... Hell No!

To all reading this review Do Not watch Marvel movies like I did; all those expectations lead to this... :-{ Investing all those hours & emotional energy & it all went down the drain.

I give the movie a 4 for the action scenes & the VFX, the rest was just Underwhelming.",4
"Iron Man 2 is the sequel to the really rather good Iron Man and is a fun and easily enjoyed action film. Robert Downey Jr is again excellent as playboy technologist Tony Stark/Iron Man and his charisma and wisecracking keep the film rolling along nicely. The plot of Iron Man 2 doesn't really match that of Iron Man which was full of contemporary touches but the basic premise is that a Russian rival to Iron Man emerges and attacks Iron Man who must battle someone nearly as brilliant as he is.

That Russian rival is the fantastic Mickey Rourke who puts on a believable Russian accent and looks terrific as the downtrodden son of a genius who lived in poverty and obscurity while the Starks lived in glamour and luxury. The revenge that Rourke's character creates is not much of a plan as it basically involves him fighting and losing in a very public sphere but that is only the setup for the rest of the film where Rourke is given the resources to build a credible threat to Iron Man's prowess.

The first showdown between the main villain and main hero is a bit more flash than substance. Rourke's character with electrode whips is awesome but the Monaco GP is not well rendered. Mixing a real event that the audience will be very familiar with and the fantasy can work but it doesn't here. The cars fly about and explode at unrealistic angles and it is all just an excuse for fire. Later action sequences also make suspension of disbelief a little difficult especially when the heroes are cornered and don't just use their otherwise ubiquitous flying abilities to get out of a difficult spot.

The action is what is always difficult about sequels. More explosions doesn't necessarily equal better fun. What was terrific about the first Iron Man was the character of Tony Stark. Here he again is excellent but too much time is given to shiny effects. Fortunately there is more than enough of Stark the man to make this a good film. For reasons that become clear during the plot, Stark is living life as if it could end soon and his breakdown is harming his business. The very reliable Pepper Potts picks up the slack and makes actually a much better CEO than Stark does even when he's not having emotional trouble.

The father-son relationship stuff is interesting if not overly original. The key plot device contained within the design of a future world city is a little less creative than this reviewer at least came up with but it is still decent fare. The metaplot items are there for those who look hard enough including the Expo which seems a clear reference to Shanghai and Russian-American arms treaties that are currently going through Congress can be read into the Congressional hearing scenes though there's nothing quite as impressive as that cave in Afghanistan from Iron Man 1.

The supporting cast are decent. The new Rhodes played by Don Cheadle is a massive upgrade and his is a much better supporting role representing the tension between the collective good as represented by the military, and the good that an individual can do represented by Stark. The plot that surrounds War Machine is very believable. Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer is the comic relief and while he may be a bit fidgety at times, the banter that he is on the receiving end of for the most part is terrific particularly before Congress. Scarlett Johansson's Natasha Romanoff is not much more than a stereotypical sci fi martial artist but for those who are fans of hers she will have some appeal. Samuel L. Jackson gets slightly more lines than in the first film and he does what he can with limited screen time. Gwyneth Paltrow is again excellent - are her best performances the two Iron Man films? Pepper Potts is thrust into a more senior role in this film and Paltrow brings it off expertly, she has great timing with Robert Downey Jr and their scenes all work very well together.

The lighting and effects are good if not mesmerising. The overarching shots of the Stark Expo are beautiful. Not all the visual sequences work well and the Stark Cheerleaders are an unfortunately size zero group of models so it is a relief that they are not featured much. The post-credits scene is just about worth waiting for but only just unlike the first film which was definitely worth waiting for.

The film itself could be a 3 or a 4 star outing. It is not as good as the original but is still some nice lighthearted fun made much better by Downey Jr.",6
"I was so excited for the Pichers Finale to be out. And when it did, i started watching it. But as it was the last episode of My favorite season,i felt sad with each passing moment. All bollywood writers and director,i would suggest you all to direct your efforts to make Something really entertaining and meaningful rather than making shitty commercial non-sensible things. Biswapati Sarkar deserves applaud for his writings.Casting couldn't have been better.All the guys were best fit in his roles.

Pitchers is a complete package of entertainment plus it has certain life lessons which gives you GOOSEBUMP,through the wheel of misfortune and resulting situations.

"I believe this is probably one of the most overrated movies ever. A ""2001"" wannabe, full of boring clichés and nonsense sci-fi. Probably the definition of the expression: over-promise, under-deliver.",1
"Probably because he tries really REALLY hard to make his voice deep and gruff. Cockney, Kiwi, Kiwi, Cockney, and back n forth it goes. Remember when he played Cupid in Herculese and Xena? That was awesome!

Anyways, very good show, does a good job of having the ""supes"" be the fantasy parralel of people in power, like famous actors, and athletes, who are trappend working under the thimble of huge and wealthy corporations. It basically takes such concepts and applies the narative's to those born with super powers.

Even though it is well written and doesn't stray away from the continuities, there is a main flaw, maybe I'm just being picky, but it's a VERY formulaic series, the motivations, story lines amd plot points are just re-hashed versions of what we've seen over and over again. Sometimes a character might throw a line out there and you can accurately predict where the story will go from there. Or maybe you'll predict it right off the batt. But that's modern screen writing, stick to what works they say.

Still, a great watch amd the gore combined with ""superhoroness"" makes it stand out from a lot of tv and I will certainly be hoping for another season.

On another note, Supernatural is coming to its final season, that makes me well sad.

"At least not everyone thinks that everything Nolan does is sunshine from his posterior.

Is it worthy? Possibly.

Realistic? Who know but I'm erring on the side of very much not - see other reviews for details.

Interesting? No.

Exciting? No.

Entertaining? ZZZzzz...

And Hans Zimmer - jesus, whose idea was that for a soundtrack? It's not a soundtrack it's just noise, not even a soundscape. Sit through that for one-and-three-quarter hours will you!

One can only suppose that the awards and high scores are because of the subject matter. They absolutely cannot possibly be for the movie.

If you want to know what really happened, watch some documentaries and read some books. This is a poor, poor excuse for a movie on just about very level.

It's interesting to read some of the OTT reviews which seem intent on justifying the high score. Of course you can score a movie highly on many aspects from direction to story to acting.

So, along with many, many others, I thought it was rubbish but you'll probably watch it yourself, even when it comes on TV - as you should - and make up your own mind, as you should, too.",1
"The movie Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is a long drawn out time waster, which feels like a money grabbing set up for another movie.

Did enjoy the cgi and a i am a fan of the any scene with newt (best thing to come out of fantastic beast)

Never been a fan of harry potter story as my friends will attest too me ranting in detail as to why it's not good. They even question as why i even wasted the time reading the books or watching the movies. (i do it so that i evidence to support my arguments as why it's bad.)",3

"I watched the Netflix production of ""thirteen reasons why"" as a spectator would an autopsy of a suicide, where every aspect is dissected and each subjective point of view is presented starting with the suicide victim herself.

Cyber bullying and slut shaming get the ball rolling and we end up with some other serious reasons by the end.

Secrets are protected in order for the truth to remain under a bushel and the perpetrators can remain anonymous and immune to the consequences of their actions. The pressures of scholarships and college admissions seem to justify all. We are soon left with the impression that modern high/secondary school life is a cesspool of popularity contests and psychopathic mind games, played out through social media in real time. The old fashioned physical bullying continues in evidence but kept usually in the noble testosterone domain.

Everyone has the finger pointed at them from school management, parents and fellow class mates. It seems that the American High School system contributes by putting athletes/players (American Football, baseball players and basket ball) on a pedestal and thus giving them godlike power over other mere mortals who share the same academic corridors.

Everyone may have different opinions on the manner in which it was done but there can be no doubting that this is a program that needed to be made. Young people, parents, teachers and school management need to watch this, the debate needs to be opened and the message needs to get out. Teenage problems need to be voiced in a safe environment and suicide is not the solution to any of these problems.

The soundtrack is peppered with classic 80 's music and other nuggets to investigate.",9
"..Not particularly that funny, not particularly that dramatic or that unique. Saying it's the best DC Universe film is damning with faint praise. It's full of utter predictable nonsense and paradoxes and contrivances. But at least it has some solid photography and practical sets. And Zachary Levi who wore out his welcome on Chuck is just the right level of goofy here. Shazam is like a lesser version of a hundred better superhero films. But I didn't hate it. It wasn't a dirge and I could half watch it will I did something better.",6
"I knew it was coming, and by the final frame of ""Inception"" my strongest reaction was a compulsion to watch it all over again; and this was something of a resentful feeling, as the motivator was not to witness its stunning visuals synthesized in a tight narrative, but to simply make SENSE of the narrative as it shoots off into increasingly difficult directions (even within the illogic of the Dream-World our characters inhabit for most of the film). Since his indie breakout ""Memento,"" writer/director Christopher Nolan has ascended the ranks of major Hollywood filmmaking, injecting his work with a sense of wonder and intelligence; yet like ""The Dark Knight"" (a great, yet somewhat flawed film) my feelings toward ""Inception"" (those I can clearly rationalize, that is) wind up a few notches below where I believe they should be. While the film -- centered around a group of ""dream hackers"" (headed by Leonardo DiCaprio) looking to plant an idea in a corporate heir's (Cillian Murphy) headspace -- has its share of visually stunning setpieces and fascinating ideas (it's nice to see some Jungian concepts get their toes wet -- if not immersed -- here), the ultimate result is overlong, overindulgent, and marked by distracting, unsatisfying diversions (the prime offender being the haunted, memory-based relationship between DiCaprio and wife Marion Cotillard) and leaden exposition that completely deadens a sometimes-glacial pace. And for a film about dreams and their origin in the mind, Nolan's action-movie transitions come across as counterintuitive: instead of reminding us of the jagged inconsistency and incoherence of dreams, the jerky cutting merely comes across as...well, just incoherent (which becomes particularly tiresome when the film dissolves into dream-within-a-dream-within-a-dream action-movie territory in the final act). ""Inception"" is most fascinating in its first hour, which lays the ground rules of dream-logic and how dream-worlds ""work""; once it settles into the main plot, it derails somewhat, and it soon becomes clear that Nolan, in his attempt to not only dazzle, thrill, and stimulate the collective consciousness of the viewer, but build on the astronomical expectations established by ""The Dark Knight,"" has a reach that far surpasses his grip.",6
"Being born in 1971 I never had to wait for the ""sequel"" to arrive, so I've always enjoyed The Godfather and Part II as one entity.

I find it hard to see the first film as better than the second. Part II is for me, superior in every way. More story, more scope, more everything. Pacino is even better in this, the whole cast in the 1958 setting are.

What sets this apart for me, is De Niro. He's not regarded as one of the best actors of all time for nothing. His performance as a younger Vito is nothing short of flawless. How did an up and coming young actor out do Marlon Brando? It's a remarkable turn and at over 3 hours long feels much shorter as every scene is perfect.

I love this film.",10
"Tom Hardy and Michelle Williams made the movie enjoyable, they were great together. There were some funny moments too, but otherwise the movie was just kind of mediocre. It wasn't as dark as it should have been in my opinion. I would have loved to see it rated R.",5

"Following the story of Loki after the events of an alternate Avengers ending (that was caused by the events of Avengers: Endgame) - Loki finds himself working for / against a bureaucracy that regulates time itself.

I really enjoyed the show and thought it was fun, mysterious, and full of intrigue. Now, there are some flat moments, but the show does a good job at creating and exploring an interesting world. However, there is something to be said for how the series feels more like a platform to move the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) forward, rather than a self-standing adventure.

It is worth a watch, but only those who have followed the entire MCU through until Avengers: Endgame will get the most enjoyment from it.",8
"For a movie that is so overhyped, ""Barbie"" by Greta Gerwig did not disappoint. I waited on purpose to watch this film, and I enjoyed it. There are also plenty of good, deep messages to be taken away from it from the exploration what means to be woman, consumerism and capitalism, and existentialism. It's also funny and hilarious. Margot Robbie IS Barbie. The Barbieland is perfectly done, with the pink and bright colors. I wish we saw more of that. The diverse versions of Barbies was done great, the entire doll world. It reflect great contract to the real world. I'm sure there were lot of easter eggs I missed I will try catch on my other watches. It does give us meaning that even in modern world, equality is to be still achieved, and that maybe, we are Kenough.",10

"Decent watch

This is definitely a one and done movie I don't see myself revisiting this one again.

The movie is centred around 3 friends, a doctor, a lawyer and a woman who was a paramedic. Things take a turn when a client who is seeking the truth about her fathers murder is murdered and the two boys get the blame, they must clear their names, falling down a rabbit hole in the process. Will they free their names and uncover the truth of the murders?

The movie is decent, the cast is stellar and the acting is great, not too many twists and the ones that happened were tame enough. The visuals were good and the music was okay, it felt a little too long, could have been 2 hrs. Overall okay, 6/10.",6

"Season 1 was amazing. The story was robust and characters had reason to be in the show. It conveyed the 80s feeling with a good blend of 80s music.

Season 2 was good. The main story line was solid still although there were some questionable parts to it. Some characters were cheap and not well developed.

Season 3 was garbage. It seemed like the writers were tasked to see what people liked about the show and just fill the story line with them. It had excessive use of brands. The 80s music were just injected every where for no reason: every time a person entered the scene, 80s music was blasting loudly. Dialogs were extremely predictable and cheesy. Each character's personality was unnecessarily exaggerated: Hopper is always angry and unreasonable, Erica was constantly sassy but the smartest person ever, the mayor is the worst person in the world, the whole newspaper crew were excessively mean. And finally, the whole plot with the Russians was cheap and not at all well thought out. It was hard to finish the season really.",1
"While there was some fanciful (silly?) plotting, I enjoyed La La Land while I was watching it - probably to the level of a 9 or 10 rating. It was fun and funny and romantic and beautiful and magical. Emma and Ryan are talented and very appealing, whether separately or together. The fact that they are not especially gifted as singers and dancers didn't bother me at all; in fact, I found that to be charming. The musical numbers were engaging and satisfactory, if not particularly memorable. It would be unfair to compare this movie to classic movie musicals, because it's really a whole different animal.

However, in reflecting on the movie afterwards, I felt a bit cheated, so I dropped my score a couple of notches, and decided I had to write a rare (for me) review. My experience was like fully relishing a whole tub of buttered popcorn and then coming to my senses afterward. My first clue that something was off was how I felt at the end of the movie - not thrilled, not heartbroken - just disappointed (and a bit confused). In reflecting on this feeling, I realized that it wasn't that the characters didn't have sufficient chemistry for me to feel something; rather, the script/plotting let them down.

The basic story is about two cute kids exploring their dreams in LA who meet and fall in love. The audience's dream is that these two can make it as a couple (despite inevitable setbacks along the way). If a storyteller is going to dash that dream, he or she needs a darn good explanation. There isn't one here. The two kids (rather magically, and in relatively short order, from a real-world perspective) achieve their career goals, presumably at the cost of their romance. Are we really to believe that they had to choose one or the other - and that, if so, these two dreamers would choose career achievement over love? The two breakup scenes were both totally lacking in terms of convincing the audience that this pair might be ultimately incompatible or should not keep working on their relationship and enjoying one another.

So, I was robbed of a satisfying resolution. I was leaning toward a 7 rating, but I think I've talked myself into a 6.",6
"Like all the other 1-star reviews said, the first couple of episodes were great, then the rest were BORING, and the use of ""everything out-of-focus"" shots were very overused - to the extent I may need to sign up for another round of anger management classes.",1
"So much bad acting and script. It's just sad to look at. Nothing more needs to be said. Spend your day not watching this poorly written ""show""",1
Acting takes the cake over the script Hats down tp the whole team to keep the movie gripping even though the lengthy strech of 3 hours All actors deliver thrilling performances.,8
"They copied the plot and characters from Sabrina. They also stole the cinematography of the Harry Potter film series. When the producer was asked about this, of course he denied it. You are a shame. Many scenes use the camera framing, camera movements and acting from the Harry Potter movies 3-4. Besides, everything that happened to the little witch girl in Sabrina is also in this show. Complete copy. But I wasn't too surprised since it's Netflix. I hope a copyright lawsuit will be filed and you will actually pay some of your unfair profits to the idea owners. The Addams Family's first 2 movies from the 90s offered higher quality humor and action.",1
"This show is good. It deals with the story of the main protagnist well, but eventually it is the same old story of a prodigy outwitting all his/her opponenets. Watching this show reminded me of Indian Idol & KBC, because whenever a participant wins something good there, there is a special small movie about them showing how they had been torutred in their past, and how they had nothing to eat and nowhere to go to. Even hollywood studios can't make a good story about a prodigy unless he/she is from a tormented childhood. Nevertheless, the actress they chose for the role, Anya Taylor Joy, is looking like the epitome of beauty.

The character has been fleshed out very well, but the discussions about Chess are not presented in a way that it can be understood even by regular chess players. It is somewhat like the show SUITS. You never know what strategy are they talking about, the laws and the rulings, all you know is that you want the main character to win. You do feel dumb at one point. As usual Netflix always makes sure that the quality standard of visuals is mantiained, and so it has been here too. NO NUDITY, just 2 partially encated sex scenes, which kids can pass through without getting scarred. Hah!

It is a Netflix Original Series.

My Rating - 6 out of 10

It is available on Netflix",6
"A woman like Jenifer Laurence needs to be really brave to make this kind of old fashioned Spy movie cause honestly there is no new stuff in this kind of movie any more. Cold war is finished and there is no more spy game like this anymore. But she was not brave or really made up her mind to be the charactor this time. Why now making this kind of movie? But still if you wnat to make this kind of movie, there should be a new stuff to added such as 1-real suffering from spy school learning all kinds of brutal and 'sexually going too far training'. But all she've done was saying I am not a prostitute when she was forced to have sex for training. So we saw nothing that can sympathize her from training. She learning or suffered nothing from it. 2. Jennifer really didn't seduced the opposite males to make him fall into her when she was in the line of work. When she was seducing the CIA guy, she was not even half naked. She was wearing all of her clothes on and just robbing herself to him. That's all she've done. This is not seducing enough to make us feel something. Think about the movie like LUST and Caution. 3. torturing scenes should be really extreme which did not happened. Most of the torturing were all just not scary at all. We've seen much much scary tortures from other movies and these are just simply not working to make us feel wow it really is scared. IT was merly to show that they are torturing and that was not enough at all. I think the both actress and the director found the easy way to make this movie. Why even rated R making this kind of soft just bypassing incidents? To just make a TV rated movie? Jennifer thought that she is a great star and will still work for the audience just to show herself a little bit without really suffering to act that will really make the audience feel that she really felt things during acting. She just pretended to act in this movie. She was not really suffering or trying enough to make us feel something. Think of movies like LUST and Caution (mentioning this movie already twice right?) I am not crazy about watching extremes nudity or torturing shots. But this movie had nothing to really make us feel the charactor. No real breathtaking story or great acting or new experience. All of the members of this movie just wanted to get done with it. They really didn't worked hard enough to make it real. Simply aweful movie to watch.",3
"No character development. Nothing but frenetic activity. No time to breathe. Sandler is one dimensional. And some scenes simply make no sense. Hiding in the closet to surprise your mistress who was up to nothing.

We walked out so I have no idea how it ended. The whole stone gem thing along with letting Durant take it was just silly.

End of the day stay home and watch Elf over and over. I know Sandler told Howard Stern this was his best shot at the Golden Trophy. Ain't going to happen.",2
"Surprisingly, this is more intense and action-packed than the previous movies. The previous movie, the half-blooded prince has literally no action, only some mild struggle of magic battles. The deadly Hallows is better than the last in terms of action and intensity. From start to the credit rolling, I had to hold my breath during the intense 2 hours and 26 minutes as I have not read the books; not knowing what could happen next. With the realistic acting, the high level of intensity is achieved.

The story: It starts off darkly with Voldemort displaying his cruelty without hesitation. And from that scene, you know you will be absorbed into the now dark and bleak world of Hogwart. Harry Potter and his friends are the run and nearly every where they stop for a rest or go into hiding, troubles find them. And that are the parts where David Yates proves that he can create some hectic action scenes. Though the action scenes are brief but they are intense like the first action scene where Harry had a narrow escape. The action scene in the forest is intense though frenetic. The story may drag a little in the middle but it has a purpose; to understand the trio's emotions more. The acting is good. The intensity between Daniel, Emma and Rupert is good and believable. The other characters' suspicious looks and capable of doing anything also make this intense. The special effects are breath-taking. Music score is also epic; the music matches the movie right and at the right time.

Overall: Is it the best Harry Potter movie? I can't say as the final movie is not out until next year. But this is definitely the best Potter movie so far as I feel that it balances the right amount of action and drama and intensity. I was left disappointed after watching the half-blooded prince but this is good follow-up where I didn't actually feel disappointed. One of the better blockbuster movie this year.",8
"Had this much fun watching movie after a long long time. This movie takes you on a ride from the first frame to the very last frame. Movie had that ""Mard ko dard nahi hota"" vibes being directed by the same director but this movie was much more entertaining. Special mention to the choice of songs in the BGM, it elevated the movie to new heights. This movie also gives tribute to one of the best thriller ""Johny Gaddar"" in one scene.

Performance by each actor is great, however that accountant guy was doing a but too much. Close to being a flawless movie. Higly recommended for any type of thriller fans.",10
"I was sceptical going in as ""Superhero stuff"" is not my cup of tea.But this hit differently and proved inovative and surreal enough for me to keep watching. I'm so happy that the caracters truly are fully realised in there development. It's less *Gay baity* and unapologeticaly headlining two gay caracters. I enjoyed the ride and hope the next season will be just as entertaining.",8
"MCU should not become this. Comics are comics.

This was already a difficult series to write, as the Falcon is an excessively lame ""avenger"". He has no super power other than having jumbo jets on his back.

Lame writing.

Lame villain (who would've thought Sweet Tooth ""Bear"" would be the villain here?)

I would think most of MCU is a must watch.... You can skip this one.",3
"I will start off by saying that I never read the book. However I am a sucker for murder/mystery especially with supernatural elements. I basically enjoyed this series until the demise of what I was considering to be the main character. From then on, it blew.",3
"An absolute insult to the source material. I don't expect every book-to-movie adaptation to follow the book perfectly, but this is just a slap in the face.",2
"When Ryan gets star billing in action movie, know no other actors in movie. How many foreign people and language, odd choice is all. I would take guess is budget cutting for some elaborate action scenes. Sadly not much of Sexy Dave Franco! Frankly the movie never grabbed me, until end scenes. This was where some cool unseen action scenes prior, worth looking at if fast forward to end. A generous 5/10",6
"This film seems like an excuse to pit the main characters against each other outside an Avengers film. Just like the other Captain America films, he relies on these other characters to push the story along, which is a big weakness of his character. In this case it doesn't really work as it is rather forgettable. Although the special effects are good, the action itself is messy and uninspiring.",5
Some of the acting is good but 99% of the show sucks. Season 1 was the only ok season and then season 2 and 3 are garbage. Don't waist your time watching this show.,1
"I expected the movie to be about the psychological tensions of being a female captain in a traditionally male-dominated world. Nope that was not it at all. Sandra Bullock is the only character alive for most of the movie. She has to carry the entire movie. It is a special effects/disaster flick. She moves from one space station to another, escaping by the skin of her teeth, as they are blown to bits by space debris.

The special effects are quite believable. I don't know how they were done. People and objects float rotating serenely. There are no crude wires to get in the way of the action.

The space stations are incredibly cramped. I can imagine the locker room smell. They look completely plausible. I had waves of claustrophobia just looking an them on the TV screen.

The movie ended too soon. I was far from convinced she was home free. I wanted to see something of what happened to her character, Ryan Stone, after she made it back to earth.

Some things did not make sense. What was this somewhat clueless woman doing on a space station? Why could she walk immediately after months in space? Why is there so much noise in space especially when dialogue makes the point there isn't? Why is there no way to make radio contact with earth from any of the space stations?

For me it was too repetitive. Too much action and not enough psychology. It is a boy flick masquerading as a chick flick.",7
I feel like a 12-year old wrote the plot for this. And perhaps the target demographic are kids. Very poor writing with simplistic & predictable plot devices. I felt dumber watch this.,2
How the movie like this get so much ratings. It completely destroy the legacy of the wonder woman of the comic or animated version.,2
"I saw the Avengers with no real knowledge of the comic book series or any of the characters beforehand. However it took me only 10 minutes of reading IMDb reviews to realise that the waters are clearly divided between Avengers fans and Dark Knight fans. For me I was disappointed after seeing The Avengers however I can largely attribute that to my backgrounds in reading, understanding and writing about complex ideas, something Christopher Nolan's films have drawn out of me. With that said though, the Avengers is a different kind of comic book film. If you're looking for a fun, action based movie for kids then the Avengers is for you. However if you have desires for films with grand ideas, deep characters and complex plots as well as the Batman factor, then the Dark Knight Rises is definitely for you. One thing is certain though, you cannot compare both films against each other. Joss Whedon uses the core elements of the comic series that brought out a very Michael Bay representation while Chrisopher Nolan transforms the comic book ideas into grander social commentaries on moral and philosophical issues while still giving the Dark Knight the attention it deserves. I found the Avengers to be a typical clichè heroes win, predictable, static film something which really takes the sting out of a film for me. I sat through the film realising that the Avengers would come through and win by the way the film was constructed. With the Dark Knight, no one could have predicted the Jokers complex schemes involving Harvey Dent and the way that Batman still beat the joker yet lost the most in the end. That is in my opinion where the Avengers falls short. It's use of poorly developed characters such as Loki, predictable story line and plot, overuse of CG and cliché's give it his rating. Sorry Avengers fans it might be hard to understand but trust me, people who write bad reviews for the Avengers criticizing plot and story are well read and any movie needs a good and dynamic plot regardless of the genre.",4
"I agree that Dunkirk was a visual experience, but the characters were just standing around shooting. I don't even know their names. I wanted to enjoy Dunkirk because Christopher Nolan is one of the best directors working today, but he needed a different screenwriter. The pacing was slow. Well made, but that's all.",6
"Although a lot was promised in the trailers, it falls short of those promises in the movie. Having said that, this movie is much like Deathly Hallows Part 1 in the sense that it does not stand out when watched in isolation but understandable in the greater scheme of things, as it sets up the future movies perfectly without offering much on its own. The acting did a good job although the script doesn't allow for anyone to standout apart from Johnny Depp, who seems to make audiences aware of the fact that he's Johnny Depp every once in a while. Overall, I feel this movie will be better received when its sequels come out, but mediocre as it stands.",7
"Such a great artist, and they made him look like garbage. So boring, uninteresting and really noob acting by the cast.",2
"This movie is edited like a music video, and virtually every cliché in the book is used (and some new ones invented, which really is a feat!) It will surely go right home with rednecks and countryfans, but I can spot a TV-movie when I see one. Not by far the worst, but so formulaic and predictable it almost made me fall asleep.

The acting is actually pretty believable, which is impressive from the newcomer!",3
"Amazing writing, acting and screenplay. Once started, difficult to hit pause. Sheen as usual is brilliant, Tennant stole the show with rockstar Bill Nighy-esq delivery. But feels like a bit stretched in between, could have been done with at least 20mins of lesser duration to keep it sharper. Still all in all worth the watch.",8
"Strangely first and last episode were the weaker ones for me.

The first had weird intro and special effects, and the last episode felt rushed in comparison with all the others, and they had two more episodes to make the ten mark of the others.

But otherwise a very nice show, nice special effects, nice chars, and grows in you the more you see it and that family, robot and villains were really well done.

Pitty to see it go, has/had potential for more.",7
This is a fun and definitely original show. I reaLly enjoyed the first season and the second season seems to be taking off quite well. Would be perfect had it not been for the soundtrack but to each their own.,8
"6 underground is just another bad bay film full of buyasisms,story in this film is really atrocisious and so over the top that in end becomes annoying as hell,even ryan reynolds who is usually funny guy ,in here he is so lazy writen that none of his jokes worked,i think that bay should consider to stop making films since almost every one exept pain and gain at least for me are filled with bad quality and lazy in basicly evreything else",1
"I'm getting sick of these paid reviews. I feel too defeated to even write this review. What a waste of £17. This is right up there as one of the worst war films I've ever seen. You know it's bad when multiple people in the audience shout out ""That was s**t"" at the end.

There just isn't a story line, a beginning, middle or end. There's no point to it. It had so much potential as the picture and cinematography are so realistic. That's pretty much all it has going for it. Not to mention that Tom Hardy is in about 5 scenes and says all of about 5 words. Massive disappointment.",3
"I can't evaluate the movie as a whole, or give an opinion of Adam Sandler's performance since I couldn't get past the first 10 minutes because of the loud and inappropriate foreground music which drowned out all dialog and made it unwatchable. Just in case it was only in the opening scenes I skipped ahead a couple of times, but the irritating music was relentless. My only hope that this was a Netflix decision and not the director's and that it can be adjusted in the future. What a waste.",4
"I'm not going to lie:

I had no idea what I was in for with this movie. I didn't watch any trailers because it didn't sound interesting to me.

HOWEVER when I did see it, it turns out to be arguably one of the greatest directed Marvel movies since Iron Man.

The thing about The Winter Soldier is that the movie works very well. The plot is actually the movie's greatest aspect. There is no part in the plot I can complain about. In most Marvel movies there are times where I question why people did certain things, but in this movie I didn't have any questions about the character's decisions. It all worked out and it all made sense.

I will mention that I actually almost despise the first film. For a movie series to turn around so perfectly is a real shock. I won't give away any spoilers because this movie is full of secrets. The action in this movie is really good and The Winter Soldier has a really great and eerie soundtrack that always adds to his presence. He isn't just super strong, but he uses any weapon he can from guns, to knives, to grenades etc.. This makes him better than just a walking fist. He is a walking killing machine.

I lied: The movie does have one questionable part near the very end in regards to Black Widow which seemed almost stolen from Avengers... and cheesy.

All in all, The Winter Soldier was shockingly good and I would recommend it as long as you can handle its much more serious tone (believe me, this movie is much darker).

On a side-note: I would mention that after Thor 2 I feel like Marvel is getting carried away with the ""skill"" kills. For me to sympathize with a hero, they better not be ""entertaining"" themselves while killing other people. To me it's kind of like having the hero scalp an enemy. It's not really necessary and it doesn't lead to sympathy.",8
"I made an account just for this: Dr. Smith is so annoying, her actions do not have any logic. The thing is that this TV show could have been a great one. So they have so many dangers there that a character like Dr. Smith is pointless. It seems that this character exists just because there must be one in every show....",3
Am so surprised with all the 10/10 rating What kind of spam is that This movie should be for kids... Worst marvel movie by faaaaaaaaar,3
"It's total bs to change source material and make House Velaryon all black just in the name of diversity. The book clearly describes what the Velaryans looked like. If you don't like the material find another book to create a show from. The quote that the creaters gave saying ""It was very important for Miguel and I to create a show that was not another bunch of white people on the screen"" is total garbage. Imagine if that statement was reversed and applied to a Tyler Perry show. This PC fake virtue culture is killing art these days. 20 yrs ago movies and TV shows had much more authentic substance.",2
"J. C. Chandor's, A Most Violent Year, is the second of two films released in the past week, the first being Ex Machina, that include Star Wars -bound Oscar Isaac, who is slowly becoming one of my favourite actors. I first noticed Isaac when watching Inside Llewyn Davis, yet after looking at his back catalogue, it's surprising to see the wide range of films he has been a part of, such as Drive and two Ridley Scott efforts; Robin Hood and Body of Lies respectively, all of which are pretty fab, particularly, Drive. Similarly, Jessica Chastain also seems to be in films that particularly appeal to me, such as Zero Dark Thirty, and most recently, Interstellar, yet the third cog in this particular wheel, director J, C. Chandor, hasn't won me over, yet, with his last effort, All Is Lost, not enthralling me in the slightest. Still, two out of three ain't bad.

The film is set during the latter stages of 1981 New York, a time in which, statistically, crime rates reached an all time high, particularly those consisting of a rather violent ilk, and tells the story of Abel Morales, who attempts to expand his business by purchasing a new, and valuable, piece of land. In the background however, his oil trucks are repeatedly being stolen and sold on, whilst the DA, played by Selma's, David Oyelwo, is running an investigation into potential illegal activity within his empire. Within my review for Ex Machina, I stated Isaac's performance was, ""top notch,"" and the same can be said for his performance in this film, with his portrayal of a character, who, although the title suggests otherwise, attempts to stay within the boundaries of the law despite all of the ongoing threats to him and his business, being simply brilliant.

Adding to this brilliance, is Jessica Chastain, who plays the role of Anna Morales superbly, and who, in contrast to her husband, is no stranger to violence thanks to her father's gangster background. The chemistry between the two leads is explosive, and helps develop the way in which each character changes throughout the course of the movie, particularly Abel, who transforms from an almost reluctant hero into a no-nonsense hard-man. These strong performances help keep the film going, particularly when it is at its' weakest, with the rather shallow plot taking a while to kick in, and just slightly stretching its' two-hour run-time.

Overall, A Most Violent Year, is J. C. Chandor's best film to date, helped particularly by two terrific performances from Isaac and Chastain. Although its' rather simple plot is stretched into the film's run-time, the film is an entertaining and gripping crime drama that can stand strong next to other films in the same genre.

Overall Score: 8/10",8
"Twightlight zone meets MCU, it's great if you are a fan. I would have loved some episodes as full films.

If you are a fan of the marvel cinematic universe, you'll be a fan of these. There is enough depth to keep you hooked, but the humor is light. Do not expect to be away with intrigue and you will enjoy the ride. It is far from their best animation series, but it is not worse than season 5 avengers. The plots are also better than some of their films like Shang-Chi.",7
"If you are looking for a show that has it all. Yes, you're in the right place. too many events, solid crew and brilliant execution. loved it and very addictive, finished the entire season in two nights.",9
"As predictable as it is dull, this movie offers nothing. Yes, we all love Ryan Reynolds, but when he looks back on his career this will not be a highlight, a phoned-in performance at best.",2
So far so boring. It's no Game of Thrones that's for sure. None of the characters are likeable or particularly interesting. And it's got Netflix stench of wokeism. Let's hope it improves.,6
"As a Venom fan I liked the first movie, it wasn't great or anything but at least felt like a step in the right direction.

Plot is literally one huge silly joke and it's not even funny!

Now regardless of how horrible the plot or the absurd character development in the movie. How the hell didn't we get a single ""We are Venom"" line?????

I advice to stay away from this movie, doesn't matter if you're a venom fan or not, comics nerd or not there's no one I can think this movie will appeal to.

Sony and whoever wrote this plot clearly does not deserve Tom Hardy or the IP name I'm looking forward to the reboot already.",4
"The 3rd season is in fact so bad, that it ruins the whole show. It's so childish, stupid and unrealistic. And when I say unrealistic I don't mean the monsters and all that crap, but rather how for example four kids can break into a millitary base, that kind of unrealistic. Stranger Things is a kids show masked as a horror show. If you're got an average IQ and you're over the age of 16, I have no idea how you will enjoy this, honestly. It's such a cringefest. I mean it always has been, but not to the extent that is shown in the newest season. Unbelievably stupid, and a waste of your time.",3
"The action scenes are really good. Close combat with extremely long shots in tight spaces. Sometimes it has a shooter video game feel to it. Hemsworth and the stunt team really showed of their skills. This movie is really more about close combat scenes, than crazy Hollywood stunts a la mission Impossible. Other than that, all the story is already in the title, which is fine for this type of movie. The actor, who played the boy was a wonderful casting choice. He was carrying the whole emotion of story. We'll be seeing more of him. Other characters were not drawn out. This movie is not for everyone, it is not well rounded, it's all action and no story. I personally enjoyed it though. I recommend this for viewers that like close combat action and martial arts movies.",7
Waste of an opposition here. The scenes are moving too quickly from one to the other-as if it were a live show. It seems like the movie is just a vehicle for the catchy songs with little thought being put into the script.,5
"Daredevil season 2 (I've seen Season 1 but this is a review for season 2)

There's a new vigilante on the streets known as The Punisher, a former war veteran whose family was murdered by the mafia. Daredevil has to stop him before any more blood is shed but he won't go down without a fight. Meanwhile the shady organisation known as The Hand is back and they plan something big for New York. Charlie Cox returns as Matt Murdock / Daredevil, a blind lawyer-by-day who fights crime as a masked vigilante by night. Jon Bernthal, Élodie Yung, and Stephen Rider join the cast for this season and it's one you'll be able to binge watch all week.

Like the first season the acting is solid and the three lead characters have great chemistry together. There are impressive visuals throughout, interesting characters like the mysterious Elektra and returning characters like Wilson Fisk played yet again by Vincent D'Onofrio. There are relatable characters like Foggy and Karen and it focuses a lot on them and their ordeals adding an extra level of drama to it. They are both constantly digging for answers and always seem to get the bad end of the stick. The court scenes are great to watch as they are intriguing and tense putting their relationships to the limit.

Thirteen episodes is a too much for any show but Daredevil Season 2 manages each episode fine. It starts off slow so it can build up it's characters and it doesn't slump towards the end with its final episodes being among it's best. It's the best of the Netflix series with some great acting, dialogue and cinematography. The action scenes are extremely violent with its many brutal hallway fights, prison brawls and shootouts. There are some amazing choreographed hand to to hand fights involving Daredevil, Elektra and a lot of highly skilled ninjas. Sometimes the ninja fights can be overwhelming but most of them look really good considering being shot in mostly dark environments.

Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle / Punisher was a huge standout - A man who was wronged by the mob and the justice system, he decides to take the law into his own hands taking out the mob one bar at a time. Castle chooses to kill his enemies whearas Matt Murdock / Daredevil likes to give them a chance and it creates a conflict between them which really gives the show it's edge. Seeing Bernthal share scenes with Charlie Cox are some of the most enjoyable parts of the show. They put flashbacks to good use giving us more clarity as to why Matt / Daredevil is the way he is and its also a good way to give new characters like Elektra some backstory too.

Like season 1, season 2 is definitely worth watching. Give all the Netflix Marvel shows a look because there is something there for everyone. I would highly recommend The Punisher too which is even more violent.",9
"This show was groundbreaking in its inception. While Sutherland's film career was flagging somewhat at the time, he is probably the man who made film stars do the switch to television. They have all been doing it ever since too.

I remember watching this at 9pm most Sunday nights on BBC2. After seeing most of the first season I brought the DVD to watch it properly. After that I always brought the box-set so I could enjoy it over a few days instead of waiting months for a season to end.

It really was heart-in-mouth stuff at times. You never knew who might be a traitor, who may be killed off unexpectedly next. One thing that could be relied on though was Jack Bauer. He was tough as nails and would go to any length to protect his country.

I doubt many people will read this. It's over 20 years since it first aired and anybody who wanted to watch it will have done. If you are an exception and haven't seen it, go and put it on, you really won't be disappointed. It may look slightly dated now but the thrill ride will still grab hold of you. If you do watch it I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.",10
"The general mood of the nation is somber after the terrorist attack at Pulawa. Like everyone else, I am, too depressed. So, just to get out of the gloom, the pensive mood, I thought of visiting the theater to watch 'Uri', Which I have deliberately skipped watching so far considering it as an election propaganda of the present day Government. How wrong I was! In thinking too much about the political motive behind the making of the movie, I was about to miss a masterpiece. This won't at all be an over statement to say that this is perhaps one of the finest flicks ever made in India. The screenplay is the real king of the movie. There is not a single moment of melodrama in the entire 138 minute journey. There were ample scopes to make it a tear-jerker and spoil the slick look .But this is New India.They know how to make movies of international standard sans those age old songs and dances,jingoist war cries, hyperbolic villains or skimpily clad vamps. Contrary to the popular belief, there is hardly a scene to glorify any person or a party.It's a hardcore action movie in a warlike situation.Right from the first scene, the debutante director makes his intention clear. He has a solid story in his platter and he chooses to execute it in style.And the result is- a classy entertainer. Vicky Kaushal has yet again proved why he is being considered as one of the finest young actors of this country. At times I wondered if he really is an army man hiding in Bollywoof for a secret mission! So great is his portrayal of Major Vihan Singh Shergill, a man on a mission to avenge the brutalities inflicted on his fellow men. Paresh Rawal in the Ajit Dovalesque character is credible as ever.The others, too do justice to their limited yet meaningful roles. The cinematography is fabulous and at times make you believe that you are watching a Hollywood movie directed by some League One Director. The dialogues are crisp and soul touching. Overall, an out and out entertainer executed in classy style.Do not dare to miss this one. How's the josh? FINE,SIR",8
"A rare thing just happened; 3 movies in a trilogy where all 3 are good. But the Captain America is a special one. This is a trilogy where the films keep getting better with each film. The first film directed by Joe Johnson was a good film, then everything changed when the Russo Bros. stepped in to direct its sequel. It was unlike any movie in the MCU, with a much more serious tone and a political thriller sub-genre. Now the Russo Bros. return to direct the third Captain America film, and the thirteenth film in the MCU, and adding the Avengers to the mix, minus Thor and Hulk.

This film takes place right after The Winter Solider and Age of Ultron. Captain America (played once again by Chris Evans) is still leading the Avengers, and even have some new recruits like Falcon (Anthony Mackie) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen). Things start to heat up when suddenly the Avengers divide over political differences. Where the Avengers have to sign what is called the Sokovia Accords, a registration act that will control what the Avengers. On one side, Iron Man is pro-registration, on the other Captain America is anti-registration. Thus the Avengers are now divided where also Captain America continues to search for his longtime friend, Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan). One I love about this the most is yes, it does happen to star most of the Avengers, but the Russo Bros. do an excellent job of still making it Cap's story. The Avengers are in it, but Captain America is front and center in this movie. The film is also really emotional, especially in the end. After something truly horrible is revealed to Cap and Tony, the movie plays with our minds and suddenly, you are no longer on Team Cap or Team Iron Man, but instead, just wish to see them stop fighting, and that's what I truly love about this film. It's not biased towards the other side. Both sides have right agendas and wrong agendas

Our favorite Avengers are here too, including Iron Man, Black Widow, Falcon, and Ant-Man just to name a few. However, this movie does introduce us to brand new characters. Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) is the young prince of Wakanda who wants revenge on the Winter Soldier. Baron Zemo (Daniel Brühl) is our main antagonist in this movie, whose plan is for the Avengers to kill each other, and have them fall. And introducing our favorite web-slinger to the MCU, young Peter Parker (this time, played by Tom Holland), an intelligent high school student who lives with his aunt and stops crime in New York as Spider-Man.

While we've seen these characters in multiple movies now, they've really grown. Iron Man for example now blames himself for the mistakes he's done in the past movies, such as creating Ultron. Captain America is still the little guy from Brooklyn who cares much about his friends. The ones that stand out are the new characters. Chadwick Boseman nailed the part as Black Panther. From the first scene he was in costume, he just killed it. Tom Holland nailed the role as Spider-Man. Marvel finally got the character right, and I look forward to both of their movies coming soon. Another stand out is Paul Rudd as Ant-Man for his comedic presence. There is a scene where something big happens to Ant-Man that took me by surprise, and was the highlight of the movie. However the one that didn't stuck out from the rest was Baron Zemo. He's barely in it, but I'm sure he'll play a bigger role in future MCU movies.

It seems that studios that own the rights to any comic book character can't seem to get that third film right. Spider-Man 3, X-Men 3, and to some degree, The Dark Knight Rises, have all been criticized for not living up to their first two films. Captain America: Civil War is that rare example where the 3rd film is the best in the trilogy. Great direction, great characters, and amazing visual effects makes this film a joy to watch. And don't forget the action here, it's incredible. The first scene in the movie makes me feel like I'm watching an action scene straight out of a Jason Bourne movie, and that airport fight between Team Cap and Team Iron Man might be one of the best fight scenes in a Marvel movie. As to where I place it in my top MCU movies, I list it at number 2 behind The Avengers. Had it not been for another weak villain, it might've topped The Avengers for me. However, the Russo Bros. delivered once again and passed the test with their Pre-Infinity War movie. I believe Infinity War is in good hands with the Russo Bros. and were worthy successors to Joss Whedon. I very much look forward to rest of Phase 3.",10
"*** This review may contain spoilers ***

""The Shawshank Redemption"" or ""Shawshank"" as I'm sure it's said to death in the film is an elongated short story that just 'lingers' from one hour to the next. There's no real 'charm' to the film except of course 'dry wit' from Red as if it's the gospel according to Red. He basically plugs Andy the entire movie as if he's his agent. ""Now Andy this"" and ""Andy that"". Not to mention a walking brochure for penitentiaries ""Shawshank this"" and ""Shawhank that"" his gospel just never lets up.

Now Tim Robbins was perfectly cast for about 5 minutes playing 'the babe in the woods' who ""looks like a stiff breeze would blow him over"" a ""tall drink of water with a silver spoon up his ass"". But once nothing seems to break him, its definitely a part for Mel Gibson. Tim Robbins didn't have the 'acting chops' to bring the 'required depth' to this character. Fortunate for Robbins in post production Morgan Freeman saved his ass with extensive voice overs. Most people think this was premeditated but 'the truth' is Robbins gave such a wooden performance it was necessary.

Most people think this isn't your average prison drama ether because its not about violence and melodrama. But 'the truth' is this film is no better than your TV movie of the week that features a 'prison escape'. The whole 'poster thing' couldn't be more 'implausible' if an elephant hang from a cliff by a daisy. Don't let me get started on how he just happened to have the cell on the end ether! The music was 'elevator music' at best. The only time I even took notice was when they actually featured it in the plot And even then if I'd heard it id have personally punctured my eardrums. Why the 'sound' was nominated for an academy award is beyond me. If it weren't for packaging and distribution this film would be a made for TV movie. Which it was if you consider its box office taking against home rental.

The entire cast reeked 'cartoon'. You have your 'evil' warden with his 'religion'. You have your 'mean' guards you 'grow to love'. Not to mention 'the kid', 'the old guy', 'the black guy' and 'the guys'. The prison was so stereotypical it even had 'fags'. Some other failings of this 'pathetic' movie. The dialog was 'harebrained'. If it was supposed to fascinate, well, it 'failed'. The manner in which the mini stories unfolded was 'not stimulating'. His ability to get beers and do taxes in particular 'sucked'.

In short this film 'sucked'. Worst film 'since', well since ever!",2
"I didn't expect this! Saddest movie of all times told with Barbie dolls, jokes and a lot of pink!

Cleverest movie ever made. I see how they made this movie to lock up in the cinemas huge numbers of people of all ages and genders and to forcefully OPEN THE EYES of those who still have them closed 😢

EXTREMELY funny, beautiful, direct, but deeply sad movie 😢😢😢.

Haters who rate this movie low are the mysoginists that would HATE for people of both genders to ever smarten up!

People who say that the message was too direct, obviously don't know anything about art. You can't make a movie with BARBIE dolls and tell a SUBTLE message, you cannot, any artisticly inclined person knows this. I would have rated very low this movie if the message had been more subtle!!!!!!!",10
"My name is Khan is one of the good films made in the year 2010. It is one of the considerable efforts to change the viewpoint of western people about the people with Asian race and backgrounds. One of the initial scenes of the movie on 'Airport security check' was pretty intense and clearly highlighted the dubious attitude of security personnel about the people other than American and European background. After that the film goes in flashback and it has been shown how Rizwan Khan was raised by his mother in a very good manner so that in spite of being suffering from autism he can become a well-natured, responsible citizen.

After spending some time in America he comes in touch of an Indian (Hindu) girl there. She is divorced and have a son from her first husband. They both fall in love and get married.

Things go smoothly till 9/11.. After that everything changes for Rizwan Khan in negative ways. Thus it starts the fight of an ordinary man for his self-esteem, his family and his religion.

Songs are very good. And the performances of SRK and Kajol are excellent. But the direction skills of Karan Johar are not to the mark. This is mainly because with one such subject he could have done wonders but failed a bit to do so. Yes, Karan Johar do have command over family and romantic dramas. But 'My name is Khan' was a different subject and it had been better if Johar had gave the steering to a director who's having command over handling such subjects.

Here i am not divulging much things. Go, watch and analyze yourself. In my viewpoint, very good movie that could have been excellent.

8/10 .... (only for the subject)",8
"If this film has won 4 Oscar awards then it means that the world of the big screen is changing, because it is a nice film but it is not a masterpiece that everyone is showing, films like scarface, last tango in paris, once upon a time the west did not win an oscar and this film won four gentlemen i am shocked",3
"I mean.. it's not very intricate in acting, or cinematography, or sound, or character development, or story telling, or the plot. It is rather compromising, very.. compromising. Everything is conceived and done in a miniature scale: times are shortened, characters are superficial and coincidence and causality is taken for granted caricaturally. All in all, the world of this film is small, mostly because the story tellers are taking a very relaxed approach to their work. It's a snow globe where your imagination must compensate, not in a good way.",3
"To continue... they like a movie if a reviewer has given it 5 star and dislike if a reviewer gives it 1 star. Don't you guys know professional reviewers have to survive in the industry they cant afford to offend a big shot director, even if he make a crap like this.

So the review starts The movie is trying to make a point that a person will get more satisfaction if he comes back to his ""Motherland"" and help poor people. This is absolutely wrong message. A laymen will like it because he will get one more scientist burning his nights for his benefit in his Mother India but the argument is flawed

1. Scientists are a citizen of the world, they are the torchbearers of a generation.Politicizing them on the basis of country is like politicizing elections on the basis of religion

2. Indian scientific community is in the trap of bureaucracy. a person who wants to make some real contribution to science and concentrate solely on his work rather than politics will never come back and should not come back to India (especially if he is in one of the worlds greatest institution like NASA).

3. The direction is lackluster, no grip, no anticipation, everyone knows this loser will come back to India from the very first scene of the movie ( it is obvious he doesn't have a life in the states, here in his village people gave him some attention, and he is so desperate to get it that he leaves everything. Not to mention the girl probably the only one he ever and will ever touch )and still it , drags on and on for unthinkable point of time.

4. This is a cheap, no, pardon me, a cruel attempt to play with the emotions of naive people. not to mention the pain it causes the Indian scientific diaspora and their family members who are actually making a real contribution to science abroad.

5. The emotions of Shah Rukh are not as good under the direction of Asitosh Gowariker, as it were under Bhansali, he can not even touch his performance that he gave in Devdas

Pleas people apply some reason and logic instead of emotion to judge an idea. As for the movie, don't go by the name but by the performance",1
A very simple story of two people annoyingly dragged. Characters not defined in entirety. The director seems to have missed the plot in the beginning only to move around rather cluelessly till the end.,6
"And quite a bad bad choice with the casting of Ellie. Comes across as annoying and in the end becomes unbearable to watch. This together with the generally slow pace and jumping up and down between tones really doesn't do it any favours. First episode was actually ok, but then it just became more and more boring with each week. It's a zombie show after all, I was expecring to get some more excitmemt from it. You are for sure better off playing the game or watching the cinematics for it if you like something more engaging and thrilling (nd I guess that revisiting the game recently made the tv show even worse in comparison). Each will have it's own preference in the end and for sure the show does not have to be a mirror image of the game, but for me personally is a huge fail. I abandoned it mid episode six and this is it.",2
Both the actors done their respective job marvellously.!! Love their skills.,10
"The story of Amsterdam is straightforward & goes about telling itself in a non-convoluted way. The plot logically progresses until the very end which was neither a bad or good or surprise ending.

The directing is seamless & is accompanied by everything beautiful: actors, costumes, locations, lighting.

My favourite part is when the friendship of Burt, Valerie and Harold starts to coalesce and the adventure begins.

David O. Russell took on the hard job of writing something semi-original and in my opinion, pulls off a good tale.

This film deserves an eager audience.

I don't have any negative criticism.",10

"Series note: It is almost unthinkable to watch this film without having seen The Godfather (1972) first. This is a direct continuation of that story.

The good news is that The Godfather Part II has many amazing qualities, including fantastic performances from a superb cast, sublime, unprecedented visuals that no one else has been able to capture since, and very engaging stories. The bad news is that this should have easily been a 10, but overall, it is so sprawling and unfocused that I can't possibly give it more than a 9, which it only earns because the assets transcend what's basically a mess overall. Because it should have been a 10, and most other reviews will tell you about the positive points at length, I may pick on more things in my review than you would think I would for a 9, but rest assured that even with the flaws, The Godfather Part II is still essential viewing.

Director/co-writer Francis Ford Coppola cleverly begins the film with parallels to The Godfather. We see Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) ""in the role"" of his father, Vito (Marlon Brando), from the first film, accepting prostrating guests while a party is going on outside. Like the first film, the party consumes a lot of time while we get to know some of the principal characters. Perhaps during this segment, perhaps a bit after, we realize that maybe the beginning wasn't so clever after all, because the structure of The Godfather Part II parallels The Godfather from a broad perspective, as if Coppola and co-writer Mario Puzo used the first film as something of a template to create this one.

After the party is over, there is an attempted hit on Michael, and we quickly learn that not everything is rosy in the Corleone's mafia world. Michael believes that someone on the ""inside"" was involved with the hit. This launches a complicated sequence of events that has Michael, who is now living in Nevada, traveling to Miami, Cuba, New York, and so on. He accuses different people of involvement in the attempted hit depending on whom he is talking to. This may have all been part of a grand scheme to set up the responsible parties, but one of the flaws of the film is that Coppola doesn't convey Michael's underlying thoughts about this very well, not even later, and not through his actions. Rather than feeling like a clever set-up, it starts to feel like slightly muddled writing.

During the middle section of the film, which goes on for hours, we also have a hint of a problem that plagued The Godfather--a bloated cast. There are bit too many characters who aren't well enough presented or explained. You may need to keep a scorecard.

Coppola and Puzo also treat us to many extended ""flashback"" segments, and I mean way back, to Vito as a boy and young man, played by Robert De Niro. For my money, these were the best scenes of the film, although maybe that's a bit of my bias creeping in, as I'm a huge De Niro fan.

But let's talk about the main plague of the film--sprawl. This is maybe first evident in the flashbacks. As good as they are, they go on far too long, and happen far too frequently, to sustain the momentum of either the Michael story or the Vito-as-a-youngster story. It begins to feel like we're toggling back and forth between two films, which is the track that should have been taken. The prequel, at least, would have been a solid 10.

There's also a lot of sprawl in the Michael Corleone segments. Coppola appears to have been suffering from what I'd now call ""J.K. Rowling Syndrome"". That happens when an artist becomes successful enough that they can fire or ignore their editor(s). Instead of taking good advice about where to trim fat, the artist decides to just leave much of it in, and they now have the clout to override any dissenting and more sensible opinions. The Michael Corleone story has a lot of fat, including much of the Cuba material (for example, sitting around the table with the President, laboriously passing around a solid gold telephone), the Senate hearings (which go on far too long to make and provide the dramatic points), and so on.

The film begins to feel more like a couple seasons of a television show that Coppola tried to cram into a 3 and a half hour film, or worse, a collection of deleted scenes. The scenes, except for the fat that needed to be trimmed, are excellent in isolation. But by the time the climax rolls around, the whole has more of an arbitrary feeling--this is especially clear in the dénouement, which seems to just end.

I've barely left myself room to talk about the good points. The first one, which most people mention, is the acting. There isn't a bad performance in the film, but Pacino, De Niro, and some relatively minor characters, like those played by Diane Keaton, Talia Shire and John Cazale, really stand out.

The second outstanding point, similar to the first film, is the beautiful visuals. Although all of the cinematography and production design is great, what really impressed me were some of the darkly lit scenes. Characters and features of sets emerge from pitch-blackness, and everything is rich, deep shades of burgundy, brown, and orange. Amazingly, nothing gets lost in these scenes. It must be incredibly difficult to achieve without making the shots too dark, because I can't remember another film since that has been able to capture the same look. The flashback scenes are also in similar, but lighter, colors, creating an appropriate sepia-tone feel.

Although the broad perspective problems are unfortunate, a closer focus on most segments of the film provides exemplary artistry. Given that, and the film's importance culturally, The Godfather Part II is a must-see.",9
Doesn't deserve all the buzz. Comedy is super hard to do right and the movie is by all means not universally funny.,1
The English accents annoy me...surely they could have had the actors use dialect coaches instead of it sounding like a BBC production.,9
"after a less than mediocre start to the series iron man 2 had a bit more of a kick, although the action was not throughout what there was was impressive. especially the Monaco race. overall a massive improvement on the first and a relatively good film. it is a good film to see with some friends on a Friday evening and 1 i will probably be thinking about getting on DVD. on this note i guess i am great full of the lack of 3dness as it defiantly doesn't need it and in the cinema it bumps up the ticket prices.

overall i would definitely recommend you to watch this, but don't expect it to be your favourite film although for me it was up there with avatar and shutter island (another one to watch) for this year. hope this is helpful and sorry about my terrible spelling ;P",9
"Before watching i expected to give a 10 , However a 9 is enough",6
"The book should have been just fine as a movie but they butchered up the screenplay, mixing plots and characters. Sad.",5
I grew up watching the 1994 version with the swedish voices (Rickard Wolff as Scar is the unbeatable combination). But I still had an open mind about the move. As a lot of people have said the CGI is Fantastic! But! Evertyhing else is just boring and flat! And all the humor from the 94 version is gone. The Music Numbers are stressed and you do not have time to feel anything because the whole movie feels rushed.,2
"I thought the white hair just looked daft on the characters unlike in GOT. There are no beauties or handsome men like there are in GOT, except for the wife of the king who obviously doesn't have a long contract. There is a reason why actors become popular and it is usually about their look's whether they play a good guy or a bad guy. The scene with violence felt like it was just slotted in to give the impression it was like GOT and being as we didn't get to know the people being butchered beforehand, it fell flat. GOT kings and queens all had a presence with booming voices and it felt like they had power in their own mind, the king and prince in HOTD were lacking that. Whereas I couldn't wait to watch GOT every week I'm not sure I will be so excited to watch this, it just felt like a weaker repeat without the aesthetics, nor the emotion for the viewer that is accompanied. I don't feel I care about what will happen to any of the characters and hopefully they wiont stretch out the irritating prince character for too many episodes which will become annoying and make me want to switch off from watching it. But so far without him they don't really have much of a storyline, albeit one we have seen before in GOT. Too much hype has gone into this series so I was expecting something special and am disappointed with the same stuff.",4
The making of this movie was not very good. I do not understand that what is the point of making this type of film.,3
"I was wide awake prior to watching this, now I am about ready for a nap, feeling absolutely braindead after watching such a cliche-ridded generic movie.

Had high hopes for it to be at least fun to watch, but no, it was nothing but a snooze fest filled with every typical copy/paste element you can find in modern Hollywood with extremely bad character development for the villain and his high pitched girlfriend. Dialogue was bland to say the least when it came to Venom and Eddie talking to each other. Sometimes it was cringeworthy how hard they tried to make it seem funny but actually made the movie worse.

Suppose the audience for this movie are young teens who are not yet used to the same exact cliches and find the filler ""cool stuff"" actually cool still (Like Eddie somewhy always having to do a wheelie when taking off?).

Woulda rated it average, but it seems there was an extra effort made to make this movie below average, so here's a 3 it actually deserves.",3
"I liked the ending and how it was based on a part of forgotten history. The movie made me sense and the plot progressed better as the went on. I felt for the main characters and enjoyed to see them build relationships and grow together.

The costumes were nice. The movie had a surprise to me at the end. I was proud of the characters figuring out a way to fix things.

I liked the attitude and characters and the acting. In the beginning of the movie, things weren't so clear, but they managed to start it off with a mystery or puzzle to solve that caused it to progress well into a completely other puzzle.

It was overall interesting from both a character and historical perspective.",8
"Pulp Fiction, directed by Quentin Tarantino and released in 1994, remains a cinematic tour de force that defies categorization. With its non-linear narrative, razor-sharp dialogue, and eclectic cast of characters, Pulp Fiction is more than just a crime film; it's a cultural phenomenon that has left an indelible mark on the world of cinema.

One of the most striking aspects of Pulp Fiction is its narrative structure. Tarantino weaves together multiple storylines, jumping back and forth in time, yet somehow manages to create a cohesive and compelling narrative. This unconventional approach keeps the audience on the edge of their seats, constantly guessing what will happen next.

Central to the film's success is its unforgettable characters, portrayed by an ensemble cast at the top of their game. From the cool and collected hitmen Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson) and Vincent Vega (John Travolta) to the enigmatic crime boss Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames) and the adrenaline-addicted couple Honey Bunny (Amanda Plummer) and Pumpkin (Tim Roth), each character is meticulously crafted and brought to life with depth and nuance.

But perhaps the true star of Pulp Fiction is its dialogue. Tarantino has a knack for writing sharp, witty, and often profanity-laden dialogue that crackles with energy. From the iconic ""Royale with Cheese"" conversation to Jules' memorable recitation of Ezekiel 25:17, every word uttered in Pulp Fiction feels like it has been carefully chosen to leave a lasting impression.

Beyond its surface-level entertainment value, Pulp Fiction also explores deeper themes of redemption, morality, and the randomness of fate. Tarantino doesn't shy away from depicting the grittiness and violence of the criminal underworld, but he also injects moments of dark humor and unexpected humanity into the story.

Visually, Pulp Fiction is a feast for the eyes, with stylish cinematography, bold colors, and memorable set pieces that have become iconic in their own right. The film's soundtrack, featuring an eclectic mix of rock, soul, and surf music, further enhances the mood and atmosphere, transporting the audience into Tarantino's gritty yet strangely captivating world.",6
"Newt Scamandar (Eddie Redmayne) is asked by both the Ministry of Magic, and by his old headmaster Dumbeldore (Jude Law) to head to Paris to try and discover the location of the powerful and troubled Credence Barebone (Ezra Miller) before he falls into the clutches of the escaped zealot Grindlewald (Johnny Depp). In doing so, Newt reunites with his childhood sweetheart, Leta Lestrange (Zoe Kravitz) but also with Tina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston) who Newt has developed feelings for since their New York Adventure.

Though I can see the flaws, I really liked ""Crimes Of Grindlewald"". As a film, in and of itself, it's fair to say that doesn't really work. There's little genuine arc or story to it, unlike the first film that was an introduction to the characters but also a self-contained adventure. Here we're genuinely in part two of five territory, it's is almost all about characters choosing their sides for the upcoming civil war that may be in the offing. Particularly, it's about Newt's initial choice to remain neutral and his ability to see the good in any monster, and what it will take to shake that. As a result, the film is a lot of ""lore"". Trips back to Hogwarts, chances to see Newt and Leta during the school days, the history of Grindlewald and Dumbledore as even younger men and the reasons that Dumbledore won't stand against him now, even at the request of the Ministry.

It works for me, I'm probably right around the ideal target audience for the film. I've seen all the films but not really read the books, so I know enough about the backstory to catch most of the references, but not enough to get upset by the idiosyncrasies or contradictions that the film creates. I was mentally prepared that this film might not have much of its own pay off, and I know I'm going to see the next three anyway, so that didn't bother me. It's a bit too wordy at points for its own good - there's an explanation scene that rolls into the ending of the film that even I was struggling to keep up with and I'm sure some characters turned up in that scene without us seeing it. I'd also argue that it would benefit from focussing more on the four returning characters from the first film, rather introducing a dozen others to try and follow along with.

Effects, costumers and set dressing are all excellent. And this story has a darker edge than anything we've seen in the ""Potter-Verse"" before. Could it be a better film, absolutely, but if you've any interest in the ""Wizarding World"" already, then you should definitely make the time.",7
"This show is amazing and definitely one of my favourites, however I hate the way season 3 changed into season 4. Season 4 was good but there was no transition between seasons. Due to the transition being so abrupt I found season 4 very confusing and I hated it.",9
"I don't want to bash this film - it had a lot of very good qualities: Nice cinematography, well edited, good sound design, good art direction and decent acting. I'll go as far as to say the story was a very good premise and had incredible potential. BUT: No story is complete without good character development, and this is where this film fails CATASTROPHICALLY.

Here it is in a nutshell: WHO CARES?! Besides the imposter family (protagonists) being of low economic status, the writers make almost no effort to make this family likeable in any way shape or form. They are all pretty much detestable scumbags right out of the gate. There is ZERO conflict of interest or moral dilemmas as the family goes about their con games - you know, the kind of writing that would normally draw the audience in and generate sympathy for the protagonists as they make their poor and ultimately tragic decisions.

In any good tragic tale, the audience should feel conflicted in their emotions when the protagonists meet their ultimate fate, but this film achieves none of that, at least in my opinion. I was literally rooting for their downfall through the whole film. Honestly, how do you screw that up?! It's classic 101 storytelling.

Honestly, if you feel sorry for this family in any form during this film, you're probably a sociopath - and the fact that this film is held in such great regard is very concerning.",4
"who would have thought Bollywood could sustain your interest for over 3 hours! But Ashutosh Gowariker has put together a killer screenplay. Some songs are slow (notably the 6th/last song is trite) but music man AR Rahman is FANTASTIC. The costumes are ON THE MARK. Not chintzy, this is what was historically worn. The battle of Panipat, where the movie opens is actually either CGI or some set. Panipat in Haryana, India is flat and green, NOT DESSERT.

Also, let me state that Hrithik Roshan is the ONLY guy in bollywood who could pull off the lead role of Akbar with class.

People forget the Mughals WERE FOREIGNERS. All the issues raised are still pertinent today! Church v. State Fun movie. India's ""gone with the wind"".",9
"An Overhiped horse 💩💩💩 and if you say my review is too short, I will say that I have waisted 8 to 9 hours of my life on this horse 💩💩💩 don't want to do it anymore.",5
"Unlike the complex games people play nowadays, as Jai Vardhan Singh (Saif Ali Khan) and Meera Pandit (Deepika Padukone) engages in. The first few minutes of the film might be a little strange and frustrating even, where it plays out like an advertisement for modern love moving at a breakneck pace of a whirlwind romance. Jai and Meera meet, fall madly in love, spend incredible moments together, only to allow reasons of practicality spoil everything. Since their careers are going to put them thousands of miles apart – Meera heading towards Delhi and Jai dreaming of eventually relocating to San Francisco, having no trust in long distance relationship means the logical decision to break up and remain friends.

In the other story, Veer Singh (Saif Ali Khan again) meets and falls in love with Harleen Kaur (newcomer Gisele), but being the old-fashioned Romeo and with a process in place to woo the woman of your dreams, he finds it extremely difficult to break the ice, and only to learn that his task has been made doubly complex with the dimension of distance getting in the way as Harleen's family uproots to Kolkata. Swearing a pledge that he will marry her, and for all lifetimes, he journeys to the other side of India, happy to just catch a glimpse of his lady love. And so begins a very tough courtship of stolen glances and secret rendezvous against stacked up odds of opposition.

As a romance, this film has plenty put on its plate. A good looking and charismatic cast, beautiful landscapes and visuals thanks to the jetsetting nature of the story from London to Delhi to Kolkata to San Francisco, and a number of fantastic lines of dialogue sprinkled with a reasonable dose of comedy, and touching moments too. What's there not to like and make you fall in love with the characters, and wring your hand at their predicament, most of which were self-inflicted? Its two stories tell the stark difference between the modern rules of courtship based on practicality, versus that of the more traditional way, though the common thread will always, and has been to follow your heart. The thrill of the chase for instant gratification looks flimsy when set against the old fashioned notion of earning and justifying one's sincerity through action, rather than cheap talk which Saif Ali Khan's Jai is expert at.

The song and dance numbers are OK, though personally nothing was memorable enough to have stuck in my head way after the end credits start rolling. There were fun numbers of course where both leads in their modern roles seem to relish in, highlighting their personal, playful nature as they paint the town red in their secret rendezvous without the knowledge of their newfound partners. I thought there would be enough moments for each to showcase the pain of their ill-informed decisions of breaking up, but all we got was from the guy's point of view, and that was very much after the fact, which I felt time would probably start to heal all wounds, unless of course you let little personal details of milestones in your ex's life to come in and disrupt your current lifestyle.

Though of course in this story's love found, love lost and love gained, there were set pieces which tests the characters resolve, especially the one where their crazy game of double dating on the sly with their new partners, Jai's Jo (Florence Brudenell-Bruce) and Meera's Vikram (Rahul Khanna), rang through some intense pain and uncomfortable jealousy, providing a cliffhanger for the perennial interval.

If there's one thing I dislike and one of the themes as expounded in the film, it's the lack of honesty in the games people play. The romances of old are seemingly simple enough, without facades put up and masks worn to hide true intentions. Contrasted with today's of course, where both Jai and Meera find it too cool to be acknowledging their feelings properly for each other, and go on a round-about journey before they start to realize their true emotions, and face up to them sincerely. Needless to say, between the two stories, I had preferred the older one which is more engaging, honest and wistful even.

I felt that this was a classic showpiece for Saif Ali Khan. His more modern role of Jai has plenty of what makes a suave man tick, though with the tendency of lapsing into moments of Attention Deficit Disorder, rambling off in motor mouth fashion in expressing his innermost thoughts, which in a way helped him rationalize the deeply kept emotions in his heart. But the fun factor was of course having him personify the stoic nature of Veer Singh in the 60s, lovelorn and desperate even to battle against all odds to win over his lady love.

I'm happy for Deepika to have finally moved away from having to play two roles in every film (save for Bachna Ae Haseeno). Contrary to many synopsis out there, she doesn't play the romantic interest opposite Saif Ali Khan's other role, although of course it would probably make it a tad more interesting, though negating Veer Singh's pledge in a certain way. That would also mean a more conventional reincarnation type story that Imtiaz Ali steered clear of with his treatment here. However, I thought in some ways Gisele as the younger Harleen Kaur had upstaged Deepika's screen presence with her quiet and demure stature, though of course Deepika's asset of having that wonderful ""stop-all-traffic"" smile got exploited by the director through and through to maximum effect in melting even the most stone cold of all hearts.

All in all, Love Aaj Kal didn't manage to hit the heights that its star billing had the potential to, but still came across as a better than average romantic movie that's suitable for a date.",7
"Have IQ's dropped sharply while I was gone? The overwhelming special effects of Avatar simply cannot hide the vacuousness of its story. As just about anyone who can read has noticed, the plot is a rehash of the ""civilised man goes native"" fable popularized from ""Last of the Mohicans"" to the present day (I'm sure even the ancient Egyptians have a version preserved in hieroglyphs somewhere on a dusty temple wall). The CGI is realistic enough that you can become engaged with the digital characters... except, then your attention is focused on the story. Which is almost as lame as a 6th graders summer vacation essay.

I did not see the movie in 3D as I assumed it would be pointlessly distracting. I have seen polarized 3D movies before. Starting with one of the first, ""The Bubble"" in the late 60's. The peak of this in-your-face technology was reached years ago in the 70's with the release of ""The Stewardesses"". Nothing in this movie can compete with real 3D boobs.",3
"Throw some ""Breaking Bad"" characters and some ""A Clockwork Orange"" ultraviolence and you may get a good idea of ""The Boys."" Starring Karl Urban with a Commonwealth accent, and Simon Pegg with an American accent done well, where the good guys are really the bad guys, and the good guys are the bad boys and you actually get something original and yes...... even some good old fashioned socially redeeming value.

You'll find yourself rooting for ass bombs, sexual foreplay with gills, and newborns with laser eyes.. and you will still like yourself in the morning. I mean... come on... you will love The Spice Girls again too!

All they needed was some original songs and it could have been an operatic tragedy.",9
What a mess. This 2 hour film could be told in 20 minutes. I feel like they didn't know what to do so they did little bit of everything. I wouldn't cast Johnny Depp as Grindewald but ok. After watching this I felt the need to rewatch Harry Potter movies and admire their storytelling and perfection...,6
"I went to see Interstellar excited to see both a sci-fi film and the new Christopher Nolan film; I left feeling as though I hadn't seen a film at all but nearly three hours worth of undeveloped characters stumbling from one inexplicable and unnecessary plot twist to the next. Nolan intentionally keeps many of the details of his future world hidden, however, is so clumsy with the details that he does provide that by the end of the film the plot comes together to seem like an utter farce. None of the characters are developed enough for the audience to identify with them and as a result the numerous and lengthy close-ups of teary eyed individuals is tedious and tiresome. Many capable actors are kept to only a few relatively insignificant lines but then later reveal massive plot shifts only moments before being killed off. This drastically reduces the emotional impact of the film despite how clearly Nolan is trying to tug at the audience's heart strings. Even the pace of the film (typically a strength of Nolan's) is way off. Much like Inception and the Batman series, Nolan whisks the story along inviting you to forget one or two potential plot holes in order to keep the audience engaged. However, in Interstellar, the plot holes are far too big to ignore and the fast pace often ends with a dead-end plot development. It feels as though Nolan is rushing through individual sequences just to land his plot right back where it started. By the third act, the audience is left wondering what was really accomplished by the first two. The greatest let-down of the film comes at the crescendo, with the audience eagerly awaiting at least some explanation of the numerous confusing plot twists. No such catharsis is offered because it was never intended. The film ends much as it began, disjointed and seemingly without direction.

I realize that this review will seem quite vague to most readers who have not seen the film: I have tried hard to avoid spoiling any plot details. But let me be clear about one thing. The mysteries contained in this film are not well calculated omissions to keep the audience wondering, (as in Kubrick, Lynch or even Nolan's Inception) but clear inconsistencies that the director hopes he can distract the audience from through pacing and special effects. What he misses is that good pacing comes from good acting as much as directing. And good special effects only work when the audience isn't preoccupied with wondering why this particular sequence is happening in the first place. Nolan would do better to cut out many of the unnecessary plot twist sand spend more time letting the many capable actors tell his story and draw the audience in.

In Kurick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, the most compelling, emotional performance of the film was given by a Robot named HAL. Nolan achieves the same feat in Interstellar with the robot TARS. However, in Interstellar, this is not so much a testament to the director's ability to get the audience to empathize with a machine (as Kubrick did) but a statement about how poorly Nolan was able to tell the story through any of the human characters.",3
"This is a drama series, watch with that expectation. The performances are spectacular, the story is great with adorable characters. However, I started watching the show thinking I will understand the technicalities of the game better. All throughout the show, you get to understand the game was tough or a particular point was a game changer only through the narration. I so wish the show creator had taken 10 minutes to deeper into at least 2 moves. Anyway, it's worth a one time watch, specially when you have time in hand. Remember, it's not a sports drama, it's a drama based on a player's life.",8
"The concept is great - exciting family friendly science fiction entertainment with hollywood quality special effects and visuals.

But unfortunately the story telling and partially also the actor performances are far behind of what this could be. While the first two or three episoded got me hooked as it really is like cool blockbuster sci-fi - it falls short in long term story and character development. The characters are flat, sometimes the acting and/or the lines are almost cheesy. All just also too predictable.

I'm not sure what the target audience is for this as i feel it's too geeky/sci-fi for the common popcorn family (who might get shocked if there is a f-bomb in a movie) and not edgy/extreme enough for freaks and geeks (like me :))

Overall rather disappointing.",4
This is what Marvel should've been. The cast is top tier with especially Homelander. Not a perfect show but I enjoyed every episode.,9
"At the first minutes I was about to switch it off, but thank god it got better. Got Sunday afternoon film",7
"Although this movie is much better than the 2 subsequent matrix movies, it's still awful IMO. The storyline isn't particularly as interesting as it thinks it is. The dialogue and styling is so in love with itself when it has nothing actually very clever to say or show. And it looked very odd and into its own aesthetic rather than having all of the visuals and other spectral effects constructed for the sake of the story so that the aesthetic mostly wasn't the center of anyone's mind.

A lot of the ideas that this movie addresses somehow seems to be a lot of people's first introduction into imagining that our entire reality is an illusion. Which is odd. I remember abstractly thinking along those lines long before ever seeing this movie. And I was a teen when I first saw the matrix movies. And I didn't think the Matrix presentation of the concept was any better than a lot of the imagined ideas I had had in my own head. In the end, until we can demonstrate any matrix-like-reality (Like what Neo gets when he takes the pill) it's all just mental masterbation. And although there is nothing wrong with mental masterbation, I find that it's best if you invent a fun fantasy while you're already in that realm if you're going to bother. I've never felt that the Matrix world was fun and never found it very compelling because it's so divorced from the only reality I really know. I couldn't really relate or empathize with any of the protagonist characters. Perhaps thr reason for this is that the characters in the story are constructed to be symbols for other things rather than just interesting and relatable in their own right to the typical person.",3
"In the era of crime dramas, sci-fi and time travel serieses PANCHAYAT comes as fresh breath of air. Those who are missing real earthy charectors in rural India this one is must watch. It will remind you of Hrishikesh Mukherjee movies and will take you into the world of emotions drama and comedy. Special praise for Chandan Kumar for his outstanding writing and relatable charectors. Great performance by Raghuveer Yadav.",8
I watched it as people were excited about it. I find the quality very cheesy.,1
"Count me among those who do not see what the hoopla is about this film. It's an ok thriller, with some stunts, no special effects, and a few good acting performances.. It has a few shocking moments, but it also lasts 2 hours which is, in my opinion, for longer than the story could support. A word of warning: do not go into this film expecting answers to anything. It's all ""left to the viewer's imagination"" (the bad author's get-out-of-jail-free card that gets used and abused far too often). You'll never know what the actual threat is, nor where it came from, and the ending of the film is a bit of a let-down.",2
"Could their be a more over-rated film this year. While okay in part, I think the main reason behind it's success is the fact that some people take a liking to Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom. It has problems classifying what type of film it is. Not enough action to be a action film. Not enough laughs to be a comedy. It has also been put up for major awards, yet it is clearly a blockbuster. 'Its both of these,' you may say. That is not the case as the poor attempts at jokes do not work. Johnny Depp probably deserved his Golden Globe nomination, not his Oscar nomination though. His character, along with everyone elses, is one-dimensional and conforms to stereotypes. Bloom plays Legolas very well to say the setting has changed. the other actors are fairly decent in their roles. A plot that i could predict in my sleep and a boring script prevent it from being good. What could have been a great 90 minute blockbuster has been stretched to 2 and a half hours on a plot that cannot manage it.

*1/2 out of ****

p.s. It has been hyped up recently. If you have'nt seen it yet, don't.",3
"I wanted to like this movie. I really did. But the film seemed to have other ideas. The opening scenes felt weird (dialogue-wise), but I guess it made sense more when I watched the whole film.

The first act was really good, but halfway through the movie the visuals started getting more confusing (which I didn't mind), and the plot got way more convoluted (which do I mind a lot, thank you very much). By the end of the film I had a headache, and was counting the minutes until the credits rolled.

There were also a lot of characters I did'nt get why I was supposed to care about (especially the act 3 side plot involving Kirsten Dunst)

In short, this was Inception on LSD. There was nothing to hate about the movie, but nothing to like either. Interesting concept, but too intentionally confusing.",3

"Why my rating's so low:

Wednesday's script was too verbose and try-hard. This led to Jenna Ortega not being able to make Wednesday's words feel like her own. Jenna Ortega often mumbled and didn't enunciate the right words in a line. The words felt ""read"" - not ""said"".


The setting/aura was too familiar and lacked originality - felt like a mix of Harry Potter and Wizards of Waverly Place.",6

"Tom looks good for his age, the stunt scenes are great, but there is so much non-sensical action, it becomes boring after a while. In particular the car-chase scenes could have been cut by 50%. The plot is completely unconvincing. The romance element is painful - every woman loves Tom Cruise so much, bla bla bla. Painful. Also, the bad guy can be immediately identified by his moustache - villains always wear a beard.

OK to watch if you want superficial amusement, but I think the MI franchise has peaked two or more films ago, this is just more of the same.",6
"I am not a big fan of present day Marvel/Disney comic book films, but this film had me in stitches. The comedy was legend. Venom and Eddie Brock's relationship had me laughing. It was like Eddie Brock was living with a toddler who needed constant praise and attention. Wanting to be the hero and if it couldn't, it would go into a tantrum. But when I heard the F-bomb thrown into the dialog, I knew this couldn't be a Disney/Marvel movie. Sure enough it was a Sony Columbia Pictures film. I don't care what the haters will say, but comic book films are so much better with dark comedy -- at least for adults.

If I had to say which few comic book movies I liked, this one would be right next to Deadpool for its funny and dark humor. The film almost didn't need Woody Harrelson and Naomie Harris; if only for the only reason Venom needed an antagonist to battle.

Just one thing, Anne Weying is the worse lawyer ever. She tells Eddie to tell the cops the whole true and everything. Damn, that's a lawyer you don't want representing you.

All of the actors gave good performances, especially Tom Hardy. Hardy really did great considering he was probably acting against a blue screen most of the time and made it believable.",8
Awful film. Really have no idea why they actually bothered making this film. Anyone thinking of watching it don't bother.,2
"When you take into account the amount of bad comedies that have been released lately, and near enough the same sort of style, IE: ""40 Year Old Virgin"" and ""Knocked Up"", when Superbad was advertised, I didn't really think to give it a chance. Another brick in the wall...boy how wrong was I! I got a private screening, and decided to give it a chance. Besides, from what I had heard, it was basically a teen-movie that had been recognised to be better than American Pie. I did enjoy American Pie, its more of a cult thing though with teenagers, and it was released around my age-gap.

""Superbad"" is far more crass and ""in-your-face"" than any other teen-movie. In fact, it simply grabs them by the face, and wipes its vileness all over them. Its absolutely genius.

The film is basically about 3 teenagers; Seth (Hill), a crude large lad who talks more pussy, Evan (Cera), a quiet yet philosophical and intelligent lad who gets his point across and Fogell (Mintz-Plasse), the nerdy, yet really open geek, who dons a fake ID with a name ""McLovin"" and thinks he's the mutts nuts when things go his way. This trio are quite the unpopular kids at their high-school. They share all the trauma's, laughs and gags together, which involve talking about sex, girls, watching porn, getting drunk and partying hard (in their own way). It's their last day as high-schoolers, and these guys want to go out with a bang. The story looks at each character individually throughout the film, as they get invited to one of the hottest parties in town. Their mission: is to supply the booze.

The casting is simple. Two main characters, with a good supporting cast, and the best supporting geek since sliced bread. Christopher Mintz-Plasse, take a bow. He portrays the ""high-school"" geek to absolute perfection. The guy that everybody love to hate - yet, you'll love the blighter so very much! His presence in the movie makes this film what it is. The way he talks, looks and actions he does throughout the film are golden. Jonah Hill takes the lead and gives a broad and crude performance, whilst Cera also dons a great performance taking and talking the more mature approach of the three. The relationship between these guys is magic. At times they hate each other, but you all know their still best friends. Its polite insults for them. The amount of swearing is probably a bit OTT, but hey, it is teenagers - name me teens that don't swear these days. Behind closed doors, this is what happens! I can honestly say with my hand held up, that this movie will probably be the funniest and biggest comedy this year, and the best teen movie since the original American Pie. Give it a chance.

It's all about McLovin!",9
"Well Season 1 is pretty hilarious, 80's kids will love it. Yep the story is full of spoof, and thats the great thing about it. Very likable characters.. it's fun to watch. But than.. yep there is a.

Anyway i am looking forward for season 3, i will be watching. Enjoy!",7
"I'm not even one of those people who think bullying is categorically wrong or useless. I even think it's important in some areas. But it makes absolutely no sense when artistic creation and music is involved. The fact that the movie is about jazz, which is urban meltingpot garbage, makes the entire drill instructor routine even more ridiculous. If you see it as a satire/comedy, it's quite funny though.",3
"Don't get me wrong. The movie was good. Good casting, directing, music, acting but the plot it's like this comparison: Fantastic Beasts 1 - Harry Potter 1 and Fantastic Beasts 2 - Harry Potter 4. There was a big gap in the plot. I'm sure that the next movie will fix that !",4
"I did not receive the gene that fires interest in cars. I do not drive; I have no passion, not one iota for cars and engines and mechanics. I don't understand them and don't particularly want to do so. Which is why this film had little attraction for me.

But it was Easter weekend, and it was on cheap to rent, and at wife's recommendation (who had seen it in the cinema), we watched it. I still have no interest in cars and engines, having watched it. There were parts of the dialogue I didn't understand a word of - or more correctly, I understood most of the words, but not the order they were used in. Those parts of the script I did understand seemed often to be lazy and far too much on the nose. Christian Bale's performance is odd to the point of being unintentionally laughable; replete with Mary Poppins-like Britishisms which sound out of place even coming from this British actor, whose accent in this film is hard to take seriously. On the other hand, Matt Damon is quietly brilliant, very possibly his best performance in many years; unshowy, subtle and investing his character with a depth the script never reaches.

There remain other inadequacies in the film: a ludicrous brawl between the two lead characters, and a pathetic reduction of women to roles which support or prop-up the men, peering through curtains, fetching drinks, adorning visuals. Why are cars always referred to in the feminine? It became more obvious to me here; because it enables the men who drive them and build them to continue to exploit them and shape them around their needs the way they do with women in their lives.

In the end, this is little more than a genre sports film, following all of the standard story beats of sports films to a conclusion I knew was coming as a sports fan with only a very passing knowledge of motorsport. It's a true story, but no less generic for it. But it does work - motorsports are the most cinematic of sports, not least because we have much of the film grammar of them drilled into us by car chases and the like. The racing scenes are adrenalised, gripping and alarming - the louder your sound system and the larger your screen, the more you'll enjoy them. They are beautifully directed; and throughout the whole film, the cinematography is subtle but strikingly beautiful. There's much to enjoy and entertain, perfect for a holiday weekend. But it will fade from the memory quickly, the only lingering question being why it garnered so much attention on cinematic release at the expense of far superior films from female directors.",7
"It's fair to say that Sherlock Holmes is one of my favourite characters in all of fiction. The detective stories in which he features haven't dated one bit in the 120 or so years since they were first written, and they remain fresh and crackling with wit and energy even today. Sadly, this big bucks adaptation of the Holmes canon has absolutely nothing to do with the stories. Instead, the approach is of the typically soulless Hollywood blockbuster, i.e. this a film filled with snappy one liners and extensive CGI action scenes. With Robert Downey Jr. playing the titular sleuth, this is more of a Victorian IRON MAN than it is anything approaching Holmes. Even BBC's RIPPER STREET is closer to the material than this.

SHERLOCK HOLMES is a pretty but uninteresting movie which is interchangeable with the plot of a dozen others. It's a little like the less-than-impressive Jackie Chan vehicle SHANGHAI KNIGHTS, except made with a larger budget. Downey Jr. appears to be channelling the kooky spirit of Johnny Depp rather than the likes of Rathbone or Brett, and Jude Law is the only one who halfway convinces as a youthful Watson. The worst acting award goes to Rachel McAdams, completely out of her depth.

The plot is a nonsensical bit of fluff even worse than the one in THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN. Mark Strong is some black magician who seems to have wandered in from a low budget fantasy flick and the boring action scenes are full of all the soul-crushing explosions and CGI scenery flying about that you'd expect; the green screen climax is particularly poor. Consider this another misfire from Guy Ritchie, whose debut double-whammy of LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS and SNATCH remain the only decent films of his career.",3
"Such a forgettable movie, did we really yet need another superhero movie? And such a subpar one at that.

Utterly forgettable, I can bearly recall what any character did or how the story progressed, it did not make a semblance of a lasting impression.

This is just a product of the modern wave of superhero films, pioneered by Marvel and enthralled DC in as well, it produced many a dreary, boring, unimaginative, repetative titles and ""Antman and the wasp"" is just a product of it, much in the same way as ""Captain Marvel"", ""Shazam"", ""The new Batman"" and any such copy-pastes, sorry excuses for a movie.

There were some imaginitive films that the current wave produced, ""Avengers: Infinity war"" & ""Endgame"" are some of the finer superhero films in recent times, and ""The joker"" is quite interestingly imaginitive too.

""Antman and the wasp"", is unfortunatly one of the lesser movies these companies produced, and of those lesser movies - it's in the ""Lesser-lesser movies"" camp.",3
"Plot is very rudimentary based on Nancy Springer first adaption of her Enola Holmes novels. To be honest, I don't like the set up of talking to the audience or breaking the fourth wall as they say. So I was already annoyed watching this. Secondly screenplay is horribly written. To be fair, I have not read the books so I can not judge the original content this is based on. But I can say the execution and direction is a huge mess. So the viewer can not get drawn into the story. But a younger female audience between 12 to 15 YO may find this interesting enough to watch.",3
"Erm yeah it's a good show. I disagree with top rated have to say. It's a high standard but so is breaking bad etc and that ran for 5 seasons. I think a tv show that only runs 5 episodes doesn't constitute being the best of all time. Also throwing in a fictional female character that solves all the issues and problems within the disaster was a silly idea, only to please feminism it would seem. These were the times in 1980 men did most of this type of work. We all know it so there's no point lying about it by putting a female character in that's actually based off the work of 3 male scientists that solved the issues, if anything it's a disservice and disrespectful to them.",8

"A review of Sherlock Holmes the Movie by a close friend. The best thing about ""Sherlock Holmes"" was Robert Downey, Jr. That man could turn a 5 o'clock news script into comedy. I reckon I could see him in anything. Oddly, Watson's character was turned on it's head by attributing him marshal arts skills, romantic involvement, and intellectual astuteness. Then Hollywood created an antagonistic relationship between the two men since Holmes's Bipolar mania annoyed Watson's desire for a quiet marital life with a woman for whom he couldn't get around to finding a ring due to his tempting escapades with Holmes he couldn't resist. The fiasco of casting Rachel McAdams as the femme fatale was like seeing Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz in S&M leathers. I bet Hollywood was thinking, I know, let's change literary characters to create an action movie! Maybe next time we could change the hideous Spiderman to Butterflyman, and instead of saving folks, he can work in magazine publishing, yeah, folks won't know the difference! So there's my two star review of a potential well acted movie with intriguing plot full of clever deducements, reduced to a pugilistic affair of recreated literary figures.",3
"As somebody who loves crime and gangster movies I had high hopes for this movie and really wanted to enjoy it, unfortunately this movie is incredibly disappointing. It's slow, plodding, overlong and dull. The story feels unoriginal and doesn't really show us anything that we haven't seen before in other better movies. The acting was okay but nothing special. I'm so relieved I didn't go to the cinema to watch this. In my opinion this is the worst movie that Martin Scorsese has ever made. Don't let yourself be suckered in by all the glowing reviews. This movie is nothing special!",4
"In my criticism of the first knives out movie I questioned the silly accent of Daniel Craig and the mediocre acting. It's a masterpiece compared to this crock. Ed Norton is completely OTT, Kate Hudson proves yet again that she is a poor actor, at best, and Daniel Craig should be ashamed at taking the money. The rest of the cast try hard but either don't have the skills or were handed awful scripts and parts.

I really don't get what the fuss is about. The storyline is derivative, tired and obvious. Some of the sfx are extremely entertaining but it doesn't make up for an utter piece of rubbish. Like the first film, it can't make up its mind whether it is serious, comedy or pastiche. It completely fails as a film but maybe it boosts Netflix profits particularly in the cynical way it was released. Critics who love the lovers rate it but there really are better ways to spend you time.",4
"David Fincher does a stand-up job of recreating 1960s San Francisco in this meandering real-crime thriller, but at two and a half hours it is simply too drawn-out to be enjoyable.

Jake Gyllenhaal plays Robert Graysmith, a cartoonist on the San Francisco Chronicle who becomes increasingly obsessed with the activities of Zodiac, a serial killer with a penchant for confessional letters. He sees the letters at first hand when they arrive at the newspaper, hovers around the desk of the crime correspondent (Robert Downey Jr) and is ultimately moved to research the killings himself for what becomes his bestselling book on the unsolved murders.

But while the story unfolds fairly evenly and with an impressive attention to detail, it is hampered by the inconvenient truth that Zodiac was never arrested, let alone convicted. It rather limits the story's progression, given that the police are no nearer to catching their man at the end than they are in the middle. The result is an epic accumulation of circumstantial evidence that, despite heavy doses of foreboding bass notes, is mildly intriguing rather than exciting.

The last time Hollywood had a go at making a film of the Zodiac killings it came up with Dirty Harry, whose titular hero takes down his quarry with as much observance of due process as his .357 calibre Magnum will allow. Naturally, a realistic portrayal of the story isn't going to feature such pyrotechnics, but watching the cops capitulate to the goddam pencil-pushers at City Hall does not make for riveting viewing.

Not that realism prevents Fincher from nailing his colours firmly to the mast when it comes to his preferred suspect, mind. I was almost convinced myself until one of the closing captions mentions that a recent DNA test all but exonerated him. But still, he's dead, so he's hardly in a position to sue.

Gyllenhaal and Mark Ruffalo, as the dogged cop leading the investigation, put in creditable performances here, but Fincher should have known that the story was only worth 90 minutes.",5

VERDICT :",9
"Such a charming show, that is so well researched and well made. So many little easter eggs. The only negative I have is the length of the episodes. The episodes are short enough as it is, then you realise that 6 minutes of what is already a short running time...is credits. Which is ridiculous. I don't know any other show that would waste 6 mins of good storytelling time on credits that Disney+ prompts you to skip anyway.",9
"Oh my god! I am so disappointed from what I have seen so far.

Three episodes in and I am completely bored. Where is all the intrigue, diplomacy, erotica, and humour gone?

Dreary second rate, characters/actors poorly trying to recreate the tension of the original Game of Thrones. Three hours of who's going to be the next heir and that's about it.

To break the monotony of talking about the next heir they throw in some gratuitous scenes and a dodgy CGI dragon flying around burning stuff, to keep the meat heads out there happy.

There is not a single character that I am invested in, or rooting for. I simply don't care what happens to any of them. Where are the Tyrion's, Joffrey's, John Snow's, Master of spies, Little fingers etc

Everything seems so obvious and done before. I was thinking we would see some new lore but it is very, very samey with the exception of it being much, much more duller.

This is such a disappointment so far and I doubt even the excellent Matt Smith will be able to save it.

I thought it was me that wasn't feeling it, but both my sons and wife were very meh about it.

I will have to keep watching I suppose only to see if this turns out to be the ultimate slow burner but geez so far this is a boring slog of epic proportions.",1
"I know they're going to curse me, but I didn't think this film was as good as the rating it has here (7.0).

The first 5 or 10 minutes (introduction) before the credits are wonderful, a very well thought out joke based on the introduction of ""2001: a space odyssey"", I got the feeling that a great film was coming. But it was pure illusion.

First, I'd like to praise Margot Robbie's performance, truly sublime, she carries the film alone, as the rest leaves a lot to be desired. It leaves something to be desired as comedy, romance and fantasy, as a political, social and existentialist content, and, above all, as a children's film.

I found the very inclusive cast excellent, but the ideological proposal of 90% adult fantasy, from the sarcastic jokes, through the existentialist issues of life and death, to the political and social themes, leaving the fantasy, lightness and romance in a plane below zero, everything in the film was made for a 14+ audience, well above Barbie's native audience. Not that I don't consider the themes interesting, yes, I like adult jokes and I value important gender and other agendas, and, yes, here in Barbie they should be included, but as subliminal themes to spark interest in a child, and not as an adult fantasy script.

And why do I say that? Because my 5-year-old daughter, like many girls between 4 and 10 years old, has always been a fan of Barbie, she has watched all the cartoons more than 20 times each one, and when for the first time a live action version of the beloved doll appears, it's not made for children brains. It's difficult, for example, to explain to my daughter the fun of a joke about plastic and real vaginas and penises, or why Barbie melancholically philosophizes about death, or so many other things on that adult level of sarcasm that the film proposes. Disappointing.",4
"This one was not so good either, but after ""X-Men: Apocalypse"" (2016) it comes as real refreshment. If I was watching it on my own, I would probably give up on it after half an hour, because it was confusing and boring, but that would be a mistake. In the second half of it, the fun begins. It is extremely fun to watch Avengers fight each other. In a few days, I will probably forget what I saw and I definitely do not want to watch it again, but for one run it is an action good as it can be.

"For all the suspenseful hoohah, a twisted and questionable morality bankrolled this. The now evil 'activists' ask the unquestioning action figures to ask why they never ask why they save the corrupt governments from 'humanity's last hope'. This is our implied directive too. Do our bidding and ask no questions. Sickness is programmed into us at every opportunity.",6
"First of all a big thanks for introducing such a great saga to so many who were unaware of it. The series is intriguing and takes you on an thrilling journey of which one can't get enough. Unfortunately, if you have read the books then you might not enjoy that much. The Witcher's character is very different. In the series he is just emotionally deprived assassin and that's all he does. In the book Witcher is a very intelligent and decisive being. He reads, intellectualizes, falls in love, is sometimes funny and overall more of a protector. There is so much to this central character which is just missing from the series. One feels in a way unwillingly cheated.",8
"That was phenomenal! After watching the first Captain America film (The First Avenger), it striked as a relatively entertaining cheesy superhero movie.

I went to watch the Winter Soldier film having the same expectations. Oh boy was I blown away!..This is not a cheesy superhero muscly film. This is a masterpiece of a thrilling, captivating spy movie.",9
"Long story short, the animation is cool, the returning actors (for the most part) hell with the continuity and connective feel for fans, and the idea of the show is great, but it misses the mark.

The stories are too sporadic to be interesting. As well as some episodes being rushed to tell the story meant to be told in a film within 30 minutes. I hope season 2 has better stories to tell. So far the doctor strange episode is the best. But aside from that I largely have no interest in it.",3
"A complete lifeless movie.From beginning till the mid,cant say beyond as didn't see the movie beyond the interval. Saif's acting is disgusting and makes you feel he has been forced to act in the movie. Deepika Padukone plays her character well but that wasn't enough to carry the movie. Diana is fresh but has miles to go to get her acting skills in place. Right from the starting Saif's flirting character is extremely artificial and the gals seem waiting for him even before he has spoken to them.A complete waste of time & money.The only worthy piece of this movie is Boman Irani.Crappy Direction, useless acting, garbage. Stay far from this movie.",1
"A smart company has a smart idea. They have developed a drug that might one day be used to repair the brain damage caused by Alzheimer disease. All they need to do is expand their tests from rats to bigger animals and eventually humans. But as many smart ideas go, this one turns sour and they end up with more than they can handle.

Story wise this film is a prequel to its direct predecessor, giving a more or less plausible explanation of how things got to where they were. It really is too bad though that this exact story has been used to many times before already because it makes the film feel more bland than it should. Either way, the story rolls and eventually the revolution begins.

And that point is the point where this film really starts loosing its grips on reality. One has to enter this film being able to believe that a drug makes apes much more intelligent and that is perfectly fine, but what one is supposed to take as believable from the middle of the film is just ridiculous.

Those two added together make the film an insult to the original series and even worse than its direct predecessor (which was bad to begin with). Again eye candy wins over story and depth and again it makes for a film that will probably lure in the popcorn lovers and send everyone else off to the DVD rental store to see the original ones again.

4 out of 10 apes gone mad",4
"A fun season where we get to learn a bit more about each of the Hargreeves silings. Standouts this season include: Five and Vanya. Excellent job by Aidan Gallagher and Ellen Page. Kate Walsh as The Handler also delightfully hams it up in every scene. Her outfits are to DIE FOR. The show is worth watching for her if nothing else. Great acting, great cinematography and great musical choices make ""Umbrella Academy"" a must see. I really hope there's a season 3. Please don't let the story end here.",9
"When Bablu ji who's living an ordinary life got the winning lottery ticket, a series of fun event unfolds.

It is commendable of Bhuvan Bam to perform so many characters but that also brings a downfall to this series. There's no freshness in the story as we've seen the same storyline in thousands of Bollywood movies, some scenes doesn't connect good. Mother's character doesn't give you any confidence, also the guy selling lottery tickets acted below par.

Comic timing in some scenes is good but few jokes bring cringe. Overall, you can watch it for timepass as it's fun but if you're expecting anything from story, then you'll be disappointed.",7
I was pleasantly surprised by this film. it really takes a lot for a movie to hold my interest and this movie did just that. the tension permeates throughout it. maybe it's the hollywood maheup and lighting but i would argue that sandra bullock looks better now than ever. i never thoight she was an extraordinary beauty but wow to now.,7
"One of the most condescending, white-washed (not racially, they just spackled over the atrocious reality with sparkles and the magic of friendship) parade full of lazy pop music that expects you to get those shivers you get when music is really speaking your truth so that you ignore the dark empty void of the capitalistic monster behind everyone's eyes. I think I scoffed so many times I'm actually going to have problems with my lungs in years to come. It's like a production company sat down and purposefully asked themselves how to create a movie that made them look inclusive and encouraging of individuality while being so inoffensive and removed from reality that they don't lose money. I genuinely hated the process of watching this movie because I was with my mom who gobbles this cheap performative crap up so I couldn't walk out of the room or turn it off. Truly an awful film with vapid, soulless music. There isn't a shred of anything that makes it interesting or unique.

On the bright side, P T Barnum would have been proud.",2
"I watched all of season one for just one reason: Matthew Goode. It's hardly his best performance, but he still towers over everything else about this uninspiring Being Human/ Twilight/ Harry Potter/ True Blood/ Grimm mishmash. There are a few strong moments, usually one or two per episode. Still, the show is mostly a paint-by-numbers plot. It's as if it were written and cast by committee: tortured brooding vampire, check; young woman discovering her power, check; rogue witch with street cred, check; stern matriarch with a heart of gold, check; mixed race couple in distress, check; gushy aunties, check; supernatural corporate baddies, check. It bores me just to explain these core show elements: imagine what it's like to watch them routinely play out. Better to imagine it, than to watch.",4
"I get that I am not the audience for this show and I should not have wasted the time to watch it, particularly as I found its progenitor so laughably bad in terms of writing, acting, directing and cinematography. This show is even worse apparently measuring its success on how many gallons of fake gore it can spew in each episode. None of the characters is particularly likeable although Moreau shows some promise if supported by a good script and competent direction. The others do have some good moments but they are too few and far between. The best performer is Patrick Schwarzenegger and his character is dead, which impacts his effectiveness.",2
"Must Watch Movie with Family Specially with your children, This Movie is a master piece, If we as a Indian not going to watch movie like Jhund, Then in future nobody make good movie for our society.",10
"This is a fantastic show, Henry Cavill really becomes Geralt of Rivia and admittedly I was sceptical of the casting for Ciri, but she really grew on the second season. Unfortunately this gets a new 1 star for what the show runners did to eskel. Also Triss and Fringila are terrible.",1
Enough to make even a Psychopath Cry. This movie is mix of every emotion a person can feel. It's a much watch if you are a dog lover. And if do own a dog I guarantee you that you'll give the pup warm tight hug after a movie. Do watch it.,10
"My first thought was how far Jennifer Lawrence has come since Winter's Bone, one of my favorite films.

Others here have said so much about this movie. I would like to take a moment to speak about the book and its author, Jason Matthews. I try to find the source material for movies, and often I find the book to be as good as the movie.

However, Matthews' writing, his word craft, far exceeds the movie. The plot of the film (adapted for the screenplay) occupies about a fifth of the book. There is so much more: Matthews spent thirty-three years in the CIA and it shows in every paragraph. His career as a ""Spook"" gives him an authenticity that I've rarely witnessed. This book is a very rewarding read, on a par with La Carre.

Let me put it this way: I normally read three and four books at a time, switching back and forth, enjoying the different plots. ""Red Sparrow"" has kept me entranced, to the point that it is my only book right now. The good news: Matthews has written a trilogy.

Number is just as good. A wonderfully compelling plot.",10
"I am shocked by positive reviews of this movie. To sum it up, it is just weird. Nearly every scene leaves you asking the question, what just happened? Perhaps it is a good film for movie snobs who appreciate the artistic aspect of films, but for the average fan who likes a good movie, stay away from here! This movie is terrible!!!!",1
"Stranger Things Season 4's (2022) final episodes were released Friday night and my wife and I finished them yesterday. The storyline picks up a year after Season 3 where the now separated group of friends discover life isn't all fun and happiness it was before they were teenagers. Meanwhile, officer Jim Hopper didn't die in the Upside Down; instead, he was transferred through a portal to Russia and is now in a prison camp with its own secrets in the dungeons. Something is alive inside the Upside Down and is beginning to take victims back in the real world of the living. The children will need to face the being, but this time Eleven doesn't have powers. Hopefully this creature in the Upside Down creates a path to save Jim.

This series was created by Matt and Ross Duffer (Wayward Pines) and stars Millie Bobby Brown (Godzilla vs Kong), Winona Ryder (Heathers), Finn Wolfhard (Ghostbusters Afterlife), David Harbour (Black Widow), Gaten Matarazzo (The Blacklist) and Joe Keery (Slice).

My overview of Stranger Things:

Season 1: 10/10 Excellent Show with a strong Stephen King 80s feel to it.

Season 2: 8/10 Still a strong showing. Loved the characters, soundtrack all the elements I enjoyed from season 1 but a step back.

Season 3: 6.5/10 The storyline felt like it was trying too hard, was a bit of a reach and maybe rushed to get a sequel. Series could have easily ended here and been fine.

Season 4 was definitely a reinvestment into the series by Netflix. Everything was bigger - more storylines, more characters, deeper dive into characters backstories and much longer episode run times, which ranged from 1 hour 15 minutes to a final episode that was 2.5 hours (the episode before that was 1 hour 45 minutes). Each episode was like sitting down and watching a movie.

There were too many storylines. The basketball team getting together as vigilantes felt dumb and an excuse for body count. The villain and Eleven backstory was awesome and worthwhile and the dad was also a ruthless character. The Russian prison scenes were tremendous too, other than some of the monologues. The love story was awful and poor Finn's acting skills are terrible. Some characteristics work better when you're a kid than an adult. I was happy with the 80s montage worked in. The special effects and kills by the new villains were tremendous.

Overall, this is an uneven series with some tremendous moments and some moments that suffer from poor editing. The episodes could have definitely been all cut down 15-30 minutes due to containing too much dialogue. I would score Season 4 a 7/10 and strongly recommend it to fans of the series.",9
"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is set seventy years before Harry Potter begins his adventures at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Magizoologist Newt Scamander(Eddie Redmayne) arrives in New York City, in the year 1926. Newt is carrying a briefcase filled with a variety of magical creatures. An unfortunate mishap causes the briefcase to open. Due to this, some of these wondrous creatures escape & are on the loose in New York City. Now, it is up to Newt to find the creatures, protect them & put them back in the briefcase, before they are harmed or cause widespread panic in the city.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a brilliant film. J.K. Rowling has written a fantastic script. What is even more amazing is that, this movie is Rowling's script writing debut. The visual effects are enchanting. The 3D is eye-popping & works in almost every scene of the movie. All the beasts in the film look incredible & match the descriptions that are given in the source material. Though I like all the Harry Potter movies better, this film holds its own & is a worthy addition to the Harry Potter franchise. I love the fact, that we find out about the American wizarding community. One minor flaw in the movie is that, the climactic set piece could have been a few minutes shorter. The highlights of the film are the titular beasts, the humor & the performances. Eddie Redmayne is spectacular as Newt. Redmayne continues to show us his versatility as an actor. Katherine Waterston is great as Tina. Dan Fogler is outstanding as Kowalski. Alison Sudol is awesome as Queenie. Redmayne, Waterston, Fogler & Sudol share this natural camaraderie, that makes it an absolute delight to watch all their scenes together. Ezra Miller is superb as Credence Barebone. Samantha Morton is good as Mary Lou. Colin Farrell is excellent as Graves. Carmen Ejogo is impressive as Seraphina Picquery. The supporting cast is effective. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a must watch for all Potterheads. I can't wait for the sequel!",7
Film with a great performance by Jim Carrey. The movie has a slow pace. In some ways it looks like Matrix. It did not arouse my enthusiasm. I expected more.,7
"The hype and hullabaloo surrounding this film leaves me feeling isolated - because I really didn't like it, even though I wanted to. Yes, it was convincingly filmed; yes it had moments of genuine shock (not many, actually), and yes it had a decently realistic ending instead of sewing matters up a la Hollywood - all to the film's credit. But all this was let down by the script and storyline, which I found hackneyed and predictable. It felt like plotting-by-numbers, reaching for old tropes - not because old tropes are true, but because they were convenient, moving matters along in a way that seemed to disrespect the critical viewer. Some examples: The set-up was too loaded and trite to take seriously and in any case borrowed a fair bit from Saving Private Ryan (I'm avoiding spoilers here). Soon after this, sniper's bullets clearly come from the 'wrong' direction, presumably because it made for a more exciting attack scene. I found myself coming out of the moment to mutter, 'Hang on...' Dwelling so abnormally long on the 'milk' episode told us all way ahead of time that we'd be witnessing something pretty moving later on. And so it proved. The discovered route through enemy lines seemed bizarrely unlikely, (again, I'm avoiding spoilers). 'This is the way!' they shout. Really? On a reasonably flat battleground? Again, I was forced out of the moment. And that waterfall scene. Niagara in the French countryside. Who'd have thought? And so on. I could go on. I already have. As I say, I really wanted to like this film but felt let down by convenient blurps that moved the story along faster but left me feeling cheated by the end.",4

"I was trying find the message of the movie but the movie lost me over and over. The beginning had some sign of a good heads up. But as we god deeper and deeper it wasn't anything mind-bending or mysterious but mediocre at best.

The middle section of blood after blood got even more boring toward the ending of the movie. However, the only scene that could be a turn for a good ending, was the cheese burger scene which was ruined by the last scene. It was all bad acting , weak story, lack of right direction, and so one Overall, it's not worth the time watching. I paid to watch for this movie in the theater and it was a complete waste.",2

"Attempts at humour alternating with gratuitous, nauseating violence -- that pretty much defines the self-indulgent style of the Coen Brothers, the wannabe Leopold and Loeb of their generation. It's a wonder they're not more popular.",2
"Some have called it Avengers 2.5. Make no mistake, this is without doubt Captain America 3.

After the last Captain America film (The Winter Soldier), expectations were sky high for the next instalment. The Winter Soldier was an extremely high quality film that introduced the titular character to us in a compelling way as well as cementing the relationship between Cap and Bucky. Then we moved on to the destruction of Sokovia, brought about because of Tony Stark. We explored the increasing divide amongst members of the Avengers team during Age of Ultron.

This is effectively where we pick up in Civil War. Team Cap vs. Team Iron Man. One team is all for an overseeing body of people to keep the Avengers in check; this is the Iron Man camp. While the other team if absolutely against the idea; this is the Captain's camp. Cap has already put his trust in a governing body in the shape of S.H.I.E.L.D. only to be betrayed and find out it was Hydra all along. After watching all the promos, you may has chosen a side. But you will constantly be changing your mind while watching this film.

You may also have worried about how high could the stakes be. The promos may have not convinced you, but you have nothing to worry about. I genuinely feared that we may lose one or two characters. Whether we do or not is for you to find out.

I only have one negative so I'll get that out of the way. It is an ongoing struggle with the majority of Marvel movies; the token 'bad guy'. Maybe it is just me, but the villain's agenda seemed a little convoluted. He didn't really have much to do. In the end, it serves the plot so not too big of an issue overall. After some thought, I may even go as far as to say that there could have been other ways to further the story making this villain unnecessary. It just means there is more time to focus on the struggle between Team Cap and Team Iron Man. I appreciate that neither of those camps were portrayed as right or wrong - it goes back and forth making it a constant struggle.

The performances are outstanding. To think that some of these actors are playing their respective characters fifth or sixth time and yet bring their A game every single time and add a layer of nuance every time is fascinating to me. It just goes to show how well these actors now know their characters, how comfortable they are with each other and how much fun they must have making these movies to continue to improve film after film. The newcomers are very impressive too; so was their introduction into the story itself. It all felt organic to the story. Chadwick Boseman brings a sense of gravitas to Black Panther which makes me very excited for his solo film. And then there's Spider-Man. The one people have been most excited to see. I won't say much at all except that he is one of the highlights of the entire film.

The other highlight...an absolutely phenomenal action set piece at the airport. You haven't even seen a tenth of it in the promos. I was filled with a pure sense of wonder and cinematic joy while watching it. You will see things you've never seen before. Quite possibly the best action scene I have seen in a comic book film.

I could continue to wax lyrical about this film. But in short, although it is still fresh in my mind, Captain America: Civil War is tied with Avengers Assemble as my favourite Marvel film so far. They nailed the drama, they nailed the action, they nailed the humour and most importantly they balanced all of that while giving all the characters their due. The Russo brothers and the writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have done a masterful job. This is the 13th outing from Marvel in their cinematic universe and they have absolutely knocked it out of the park; surely this is unprecedented. Bring on Infinity War!!

My Score: 9/10

Review from: www.pratikrambles.wordpress.com",9
"Why not cast age appropriate actors in their roles? The male lead is 24 yet plays a high school student, unfortunately he looks even older. It takes something away from the context / realism.",5
"Cool action scene opening ... but who are these people? Why am I routing for them? Are they dead? // If so, do we care if they die again? ... Really horrible script. When you start off with a massive action opening - you've missed the point. We are never going to care about your story. Really - read Blake Snyder .. or better yet ...Aristotle Poetics .. If you don't introduce us to our characters -- we will never care about them . I don't care how cool and stylized and Italian your opening action scene is. Seriously, why do Hollywood people still green light this stuff. .. even if a very likable Ryan Reynolds is the star. .. its still not going to work.",3
"If you want to watch an entertaining movie, this is not it. It is certainly well made. The atmosphere, the cinematography, the acting, it's all high class. But there is no substance beneath the fine looking aesthetics, or the creators wants you to think that there's more to it with it's hidden metaphors and symbolism. But it all feels like the movie is just giving you chores to understand it. It expects a lot of the viewer and does nothing to engage you to actually WANT to dig deeper into it. It is occasionally funny, but only out of pure obscenity. In the end it just comes off as a pretentious mess, and I see no reason to give it more credit than that.",4
"... with a very central horizon, albeit with a rather successful director revealing his grounding, but you've seen it many times before, watching other people grow up's such a chore, we've all been adolescent, distracted and pubescent, it's a boring set of takes and you will snore. Perhaps if it had something new to say, portrayed a family more uniquely in their way, a novel circumstance, to catch your eye, a second glance, not monotony of people day to day. If you make it to the end you might just wonder, why fine actors chose to loot your time and plunder (I'll give you three guesses but you only need one), must be quite a fallow year, to want to make this and appear, in something that's so dull, it makes you want to slumber.",5

"What the.... did Disney do? I know the wannabe cinema fan will be like ""that was a well deserved ending""... Like how? The story does not add up.. Really does not make sense... The solution to try save everyone is like xmen day of the future past concept ""reset button""

The actors really Marvell this shows that Disney is loosing it with there political agenda? All the scenes she was in felt like a reshoot.. Like they had no plans for Marvell and it was forced! Thor... What a.... shame

Where are the times that you could actually expect spectacular scene action worthy moment.... Instead of a.... comedy show full of meme!!!

"At this point, Marvel is the longest-running film franchise in history, in terms of the sheer number of projects that are linked together. For that reason, I enjoy it when one of their series or films comes along and feels distant from the rest. The new Disney+ series, Moon Knight, has just concluded, and even though I'm still scratching my head at a few things and while it does feel unfinished (especially for it being called a Mini-Series), I still thought it was great and very different from the rest of the franchise. For how weird and bizarre it sometimes gets, I can see casual viewers being turned off by it, but if you let it take you on its crazy journey, I believe it's satisfying. Here's why I believe Moon Knight deserves attention.

There's way more going on in this series than in this description I'm going to give, so keep in mind that everything I say here probably has one or two more things going on as well. Steven (Oscar Isaac) is a man who suffers from a multiple personality disorder. Trying to live a normal life working in a museum, he quickly learns that an Egyptian God has taken over the body of both himself and his other personality, Mark. Who is the real person, Mark or Steven? Is anything on-screen actually happening or is it in their head? These are all questions brought up throughout the series and many questions are still left unanswered by its conclusion.

I loved watching this series for how unique it was, but I'm also left a little confused as to where they're going with this character in the future. I want more Moon Knight, I at least know that, because Oscar Isaac is stellar in this role. From the way he portrays each personality and goes back and forth flawlessly, I couldn't get enough of it. In particular, episode five was crazy and weird in all the ways I wasn't expecting from this show and it made me love the character so much more. If for nothing else, this series is a nice stepping-off point to be able to take this character on wacky adventures in the future.

Overall, I'm still quite perplexed as to what I really watched, so I can't go into too many details right now. I will add that the directing work Mohamed Diab did was terrific and I look forward to more from him, but what made me so intrigued to check this out was that Aaron Moorehead and Justin Benson would also be directing. Their indie film work has impressed me in the past and Kevin Feige hiring their expertise for a Marvel project like this was genius. From thrilling moments to crazy visuals, adventure scenes to jump scares, Moon Knight had it all. Again, I'm very much questioning the point of the series in the grand scheme of things, but I had a great time watching it.",8
"I remember the first time i watched this when i was 14, back then it didn't mean much to me i just watched it because of the violence. Growing up i cant count the number of times i have watched it but it seems as though every time i watched it i uncovered something new in the plot. On to the review then; There are two different dubs for this film in English, the initial one i watched on VHS is much better then the one on DVD. The voices match the characters and bring across emotions very well in the VHS dub. In the DVD dub the voices seem alien to the characters personalities, this may be due to the fact that I'm used to seeing the film with the old dub.",10

"It starts with a positive and impactful note. A realistic and light- hearted take on actual condition of gangsters and effect of recession on them. After 30 mins, it starts going downhill. Every side character except the 4 gangsters (Anni, Bhai Sahab and 2 fellow gangsters) looks forced, out of context, absurd and meaningless. By the time Neha Dhupia comes on the screen, you would want to switch it off. And once she starts delivering her dialogues, you would want to break the screen. Her character (Munni Madam) is the most cringe-worthy ever. Totally makes this movie another stupid piece of mainstream comedy with no originality. The ending is as unfunny as the later half of the movie, with a wannabe 'happy ending, everyone so happy yay' vibe. Go ahead if you want to get deceived by the ratings. By the end, you would have wasted your two hours on a stupid movie which you would forget in lesser time.",5
I went in to this film thinking it was going to be great because of all the reviews....OH MY GOD it was not. A complete waste of time. And what kills me is how this movie was nominated for Original Screenplay and Best Director and Best Movie and Cold Mountain didnt. Cold Mountain blew this movie off the planet! It appears that the Academy and reviewers that praised this movie have no clue! One word....CRAP! CRAP!!!! BORING PIECE OF CRAP!,1

"Watch stranger things is fun and aesthetically pleasing, but after season 1 it kind of goes downhill. Season 4 recovers a bit, but still has the same problems. It's hard to be invested in this show because the ending of every season is practically the same, and none of the main characters ever die, even after 4 seasons. It makes the story feel repetitive and the villains powerless. They're always able to be stopped by a gang of kids. Too convenient when the supernatural is at hand. Anyways, give it a watch but definitely not worth the hype.",6
"In terms of true story movies, this is probably one of the better ones I've seen.

Let's just jump into it. So, what I enjoyed the most was the built suspense throughout. It was done superbly well and it was real edge of your seat action. The reason why it's so good is, because the plot isn't something that you'd consider to have much going on. So the fact you're on edge for a lot of the film really illustrates how well written this is.

As with all movies like this, it's always worth asking if you need to know the true story in order to watch this? And to put it bluntly, no you don't. You can enjoy this for what it is, which is a prison escape thriller. I knew nothing of the people this film was illustrating and I really enjoyed this.

Couple of minor things to mention. I thought the characters could have had more of a back story. With them being important figures in South African history, would have been nice to have known them a little more. Instead you're thrown into the deep end within the first 2 minutes. And I know it's a true story, so obviously you can't just make stuff up. But, I felt the plot needed a little punch just to add a bit more, because it never goes out of its way.

I don't have much else to say other than I would recommend watching if you were debating it as it's a real good thriller. 7/10 today.",7
"¨The Elder Wand, the most powerful wand ever made, the Resurrection Stone, the Cloak of Invisibility. Together, they make the Deathly Hallows.¨

The Harry Potter series is finally coming to an end after ten years and The Deathly Hallows promises to be an exciting conclusion to the franchise. Producers correctly decided to divide the movie in two parts in order to remain as faithful as possible to the book and not leave minor characters out of the story like they had to do with the other films. It is hard to review a movie that is actually only halfway through the story, but the first part of The Deathly Hallows was exciting and captivating. The 140 minutes flew by real fast and even though the film had an inconclusive ending I still enjoyed the ride and can't wait for the final farewell. I think this is one of my favorite films of the franchise as the characters continue to mature over time. It has been a thrilling ride as these heroes have grown to be a part of us and this movie is more about them than the actual story or the special effects. We've grown up with these characters and they have come a long way from The Sorcerer's Stone. The series has also grown much darker over time, and The Deathly Hallows goes one step further from the very beginning with the snake scene. This was director David Yates third straight Harry Potter film (and he also directed the second part which will be released in January). Once again Steve Kloves does a great job with the adaptation of the screenplay of J.K. Rowling's novel. Fans of the series won't be disappointed and will be in line waiting for the premiere of the final chapter to say farewell to such beloved characters that have been a part of us all these years.

The movie picks off right where The Half Blood Prince left us. Dumbledore is dead, Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) is searching for Harry Potter along with his crew, and Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) is on a journey to try to destroy the seven horcruxes with his friends Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint) before it is too late and Voldemort becomes too powerful. The task of finding and destroying these horcruxes isn't an easy one, as Voldemort's people are everywhere searching for him along with snatchers, and Dumbledore hasn't told Harry where these pieces are hidden. Along their journey they will discover the legend of the three deathly hallows (hence the title): the elder wand, the resurrection stone, and the cloak of invisibility that will make the possessor of these three elements master over death. There are several new characters introduced in the series and some old ones appear and they all end up playing a key part in this seek and destroy journey. Just be warned before you see this movie, don't expect a conclusive ending because this is only the first part of the story and the film leaves us at the halfway point. But I think the producers did a good job at finding the correct spot to put a pause on The Deathly Hallows before the second part finally comes out.

Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint have grown so much professionally with the Harry Potter films. They have become great actors and one only needs to see the first Potter film (The Sorcerer's Stone) and compare it to this last installment in order to see how much they have matured. These three kids have literally grown right in front of our eyes over these past ten years and I have to admit that they have done a tremendous job keeping pace with such great actors in this series as Ralph Fiennes, Bill Nighy, Alan Rickman, Helena Bonham Carter, Brendan Gleeson, Robbie Coltrane, and Gary Oldman. The Deathly Hallows does a great job of recognizing the success of the franchise in that it is a character driven film and we get a lot of that in this seventh movie. The main difference between this movie and the rest is that it doesn't take place in Hogwarts and we get a lot of varied locations. Since the movie is divided in two parts we also get a lot more details and background stories which made the ride a lot more enjoyable as well. The scene were Lovegood tells Harry about the deathly hallows is great. That short animated sequence could very well compete independently for best short animated film and easily win the Oscars because it was just brilliant. I really enjoyed this first part of the final chapter of the series and am looking forward to the final part. I really don't know who I hate more for now: Lord Voldemort or Bellatrix Lestrange because they have both done tremendous jobs as villains. Director David Yates has done a great job at bringing the world of Harry Potter to the big screen once again.

"A random movie I seen on the discount shelf. I decided I like a good random flick.

Oh boy... It's just another Matrix, Inception movie.

January 22 2023

About: A Chinese lady living in the USA is drawn into random stuff. Why? I don't know.

Story and production: it's another confusing sown up movie. Why? Who? What? Is happening I can not answer.

The quality I good. It's a creative movie.

The Wayne guy and some parts reminds me of William Janus from South Park. Where William Janus turns out to be Tuong Lu Kim who has multiple personality disorder.

Overall, a creative movie though its confusing me.

Genre: Sci-Fi, Chinese.

Soundtrack: It good.

Duratiom: 2 long bloody hours...

What can be learned? Do you really control your reality?

Should you watch this? Meh... If your confused by Matrix and Inception then that's what you'll Get. A headless dog... Haha!

I don't know what people see in these types of messy movies. Maybe it's the randomness or someone getting beat by a Private part. I didn't laugh once because I thought it was nasty.",3
"I really liked this film it is a pretty sensitive topic in a land of fun and rainbows I think it got the message through but had just the right amount of humor it also had a lot of great acting g from Ryan gosling and Margot Robbie I really like this film it's great for Adults and for kids even if the topic flies over their heads although I don't think the acting and the screenplay is all flawless I think there are some things they could've done to make it better for example in one scene when Barbie was in her car driving to the ""real world"" it was really glitch in choppy at least for my theater but I don't think that was intentional.

-Great film overall 8.5/10.",9
Wow.... this movie was an absolute mess. The actors managed to make this some what watchable.,5
"Second season was an absolute snooze. Did not even finish it. Got 4 episodes in and could not be bothered to continue. It started well and I would say that season 1 was a solid 7 but the second season just did not live up to the first. It has become generic, boring and absolutely not word my time. I had looked forward to the addition of Kim Bodnia to the cast but I am sad to say even though he is one of my favorite Danish actors he did not really make any empression. I will though say that the witcher castel really looked like it did in the game.",4
"I have 3 very big problems with this movie.

First of all this is a well tried trope and very common story. We have seen this in movies before, seen it in TV shows, and read it in books. This is immensely cliche. And as such you need to do something special with it, and you need to find some angle or extra to make it stand out, but no. This is just a cliche as you might think. No thought process whatsoever.

Secondly this is amateurish. Everything is. This looks like, feels like and is acted like a middle-school project made by failing drama students. I could get behind some of that, horror does not need to have a huge cgi budget, but it cannot be amateurish on all levels, on all things.

Thirdly, is this actually a horror movie? The premiss is boring and cliche, and there is nothing really scary or weird or thought-provoking about this. And the ending? Omg... so predictable that if you did not see that coming, I am sorry, but if so you need a doctor.

I cannot find any redeeming traits or positives about this. I will still give it a 2/10 because however strange it may sound this is not the worst movie of the year. I do not think this movie will even make it into top 10 worse of the year... isn't that sad?",2
"Story - Edge gripping Stunning Acting - Karthik, Naren , Villain, Karthik daughter, police constable, three College students,Sheena Direction - Lokesh kanagaraj made justice for his story. Background & Bgm - superb... Cinematography - well pre-planned work.

My rating is 10/10",10
"Technically, The Matrix was a movie of the last century (made in 1999), but it's a scarily accurate model of the 21st century person: Slick and great-looking, flashy, flaunting and proud, but as hollow and unaware as it can be.

The story, as everyone probably knows, involves a computer hacker realizing that ""the world is not what it seems"" and joining forces with other rebels to overthrow the robot overlords, or save the world, or fly in his long leather coat, depending on your interpretation.

The visuals, sets and costumes are truly impressive, still setting the standard even after 20 years of technical innovations in moviemaking. The special effects also stand the test of time. The direction of the Wachowski brothers (or sisters? What do we call them now? Will I be crucified if I get the slightest wording wrong?) is also excellent.

However, visuals alone don't make a film. The Matrix is a textbook example. It is so unbelievably, incredibly pretentious, tries to bite so much bigger than it can chew, comes off as so high-brow and assertive, that it leaves you scratching your head.

Read as many comments as you want (this will be the 4000th one if approved) and you won't find one which doesn't contain the word ""philosophical."" But mind you, The Matrix isn't ""philosophical"" in the general sense: it's philosophical in the millennial generation sense. Which means, it says ""Things aren't always what they seem..."" and that's enough philosophy to boggle your mind, so then moves on to fight scenes.

Which isn't an unfair assessment. The movie's deep, profound ""philosophy"" that so many fans have been praising for 20 years, doesn't go beyond having a ying-yang symbol in the background in one scene, or someone saying ""life isn't what it seems..."" for an audience that's all too ready to go ""Whoo man, that's deep, man!""

You can almost feel the moviemakers saying ""Hey, why not add a katana or a Chinese letter as well? There, we lapped up all 5,000 years of Eastern philosophy and reduced it to a spoonful for you. Now let's move to the next leather-clad CGI fight.""

In this aspect, the movie reminds me of some celebrities who go on talk shows and say ""I'm a very cultured person. In fact I just read a book. But enough of that, now let me tell about my latest breast implants.""

I still gave it 5 stars for the great visuals and entertainment element, that cannot be denied. But it still feels like a missed chance, it could have been much more than a 90-minute long sunglasses commercial.",5
"This is a weird show that sort of retells Harry Potter except it's a school for kids who are monsters, and somehow Wednesday goes there - but Wednesday has telepathic powers or something? I don't quite get it. The production value of the show is tremendous. It looks beautiful. Tim Burton directs some of the early episodes and does a good job. The Adams Family are ok cast - except I don't really care for Jenna as Wednesday. I guess Wednesday to me will always be a little girl but in this show she is a teenager going through teen issues. At least Jenna and the rest of the cast and crew care about the character and the role and the legacy of the franchise, so I give her a lot of respect for that. Weird show with good production values and kind of a Harry Potter riff - which is weird.",7
"So silly and disgusting ,, overrrrrrrrrated I don't know why or how it take the oscar ??",2
"Queue, pretty girl, car chase, motorcycle chase, helicopter, boat chase, gunfights, token characters, confusing plot, nothing new to see here, folks, move along. Had trouble staying put and not going back to the desk to surf the web.",3
"Extraction is a fun and average action flick that has awesome action, good performances, and a totally ""meh"" plot. But hey, this is exactly what Netflix is for and I'm totally okay with that.",7
"In 1941 British colonial India, Shahid Khan is robbing trains under the guise of legendary bandit Sultana Daku. He is discovered and banished. After independence, Ramadhir Singh takes over some of lucrative coal mines but they struggle without British managers and money. He hires Shahid Khan as muscle to keep the workers in line. He overhears Shahid's plan to murder him for the mines. He kills Shahid and tries to kill his family. The son Sardar Khan is rescued and raised alongside his cousin Asghar. Decades later, Sardar is told of the murder and vows revenge. Sardar uses daring, intimidation and his criminal ways to take on the powerful magnate Singh as one of the most feared crime lord.

I can definitely see the comparison to the Godfather movies. I really love some parts of this movie. Shahid Khan could be a movie all by himself. In fact, I would preferred his story to be expanded into either part I or a prequel of sorts like in Godfather II. Sardar is a very compelling character. I'm a little confused with some of the family melodrama. The story feels a little rushed covering a long timeline. The whole movie feels like a vast long story being crammed into a space that is too small. If this was Godfather, this would be twice as long in length. This is great brutal violent overwrought material. This is good but it's not quite Godfather epic great.",7
"Chapter 2 does lose some of it's credibility due to a few action sequences. Remember, I am not talking about a Fast and Furious like action scene here. This is criticism on a whole new level. ""John Wick: Chapter 2"" this was bad movie.if you cant see this you don't loss anythings.",4
"With Carnage being the main villain in this one, I thought my mind was going to blow. But I must say I was left feeling quite disappointed with this one. In my opinion, Carnage's introduction was far too late. Plenty of time-wasting and lazy writing had filled up the majority of the film. Not much had happened until the last 20 minutes, plus the final action sequence felt rushed. Unfortunately, this was not as good as the first one. As a fan of Venom, I felt underwhelmed, but I have not lost hope yet and hopefully, it can redeem itself for its next appearance. That post-credits scene sure hooked me up.",6
"According to the poster this is 'Fincher's best film since Se7en' well they must have just forgotten a little known film called 'Fight Club' which in my opinion is a great movie and the last good film he made and after seeing Zodiac I haven't changed my mind. Long, too long and quite boring, there is no real story here, you never get the sense that they are after the killer hot on his heels like you did with Se7en and there is none of the visual flair that made 'Fight Club', 'Panic Room' and essentially Fincher a force to be reckoned with as a director. Instead you get Downey Jnr (Camping it up), Ruffalo (under-used) and Gyllenhaal (bumbling eye candy) all taking it in turns to get caught up in the muddling puzzle of the Zodiac killer. One of the troubles is the puzzles they are very exclusive to the cast, we as an audience are not really asked to do anything, solve anything or really even think, all we get to do is sit (for two and a half hours!) and watch these characters become obsessed and fall apart. Its not very exciting viewing I'm afraid, unless you're on of the many girls I've spoken to who liked it because they got to watch Gyllenhaal for that length of time then there's really nothing to it. The fact that it's a true story and they didn't catch the killer means there also no real ending either and the film just falls flat. The only glimmer of the old Fincher is in a scene where he overlays letters and puzzles from the killer over a montage of the films main players going about their business, its good but not enough. Don't get me wrong I wasn't expecting a 'Se7en' style film but I would have like to have had some characters I could care about and story that kept my interest especially at that length, but it just jumps from one place to another and at one point four years to when Gyllenhaal's character is married with three kids, frankly I'm surprised he had the time maybe his wife proposed in a cryptic note? Ultimately this is a bit of a let down from a director who showed so much early promise and vision only to go on to make straight forward and unchallenging movies. Here hoping his next project returns to former glories.",5
"This series relies heavily on the protagonist's Catholicity. You can tell the screenwriters are not Catholic. Some kind of bizarre, deformed attempt at Catholic-esque. A side loading train car for gravel? Moving vans for gravel?",9
Honestly this is as peppy and appealing as dead flat lemonade their shagging was so bloody hard to take seriously massive giggle attack when she went hands in pants 😆😆😆truly RISIBLE stuff. You all need to get out more giving this thing rave reviews damned me if i heard him yes ma 'am once more i was gonna puke zero tension ....gah,2

"I don't rush out anymore to see any more QT movies. I read a few negative reviews about this first and started watching it. The first 30 mins are boring and not much going on and seemed all over the place. I decided to listen to the reviews that said nothing happens on the movie and gave up.

I'm hoping he does a new Star Teek to see his take on that but QT doesn't really excite me any more and is over rated like a lot of stuff that is churned out. Don't get me started on The Irishman.",4
"Ann is having a crisis of confidence. Her therapy is going nowhere as she hides from her own sexual problems using everyday insignificant issues, however as her husband John has invited Graham and old school friend from the town to stay for awhile she has other things to think about, and immerses herself in preparing for his arrival. When he finally does show and is charming and pleasant and not a shameless go-getter, Ann is surprised. While she entertains Graham however, John continues his ongoing affair with Ann's sister Cynthia who is free from all of the sexual hang-ups that her sister suffers from.

As time goes by we learn more about Graham, the big thing being that he doesn't lie, he also carries with him a secret, his secret being that he cannot maintain an erection in the presence of a woman, choosing to reveal this to Ann, although as he does so he is not sure why? He also has a secret he does not reveal which is that he tapes women talking about sex in order that he gets off.

This is the mix that Steven Soderbergh combines to create an amazing film that sucks the viewer into this strangely disturbing, yet, beautiful world as the different elements come together to form a very different picture of relationships and the human condition that goes with you after you leave the cinema.

The music is, well, not really music, more like a concoction of sound to go with the mood at a particular moment, but it captures the mood more elegantly than any attempted tune could. The performances by Andie MacDowell and Peter Gallagher are great as the couple whose relationship is just a concoction of lies, while James Spader is immaculate as the quietly disastrous Graham who has found a unique way to push women away while getting close enough to them to feel sexually close to them.

A great film that I sadly see in a lot of bargain bins because, like so many films of the eighties, it's association with this period of cinema, makes it regarded as somehow less than it is, when it is so much more than the sum of the era that spawned it.",9
"It was not as bad, as I heard some of them saying. Cocktail had an impressive start on me. I laughed, applauded,enjoyed the songs. A new kind of masala movie, with kinda Hollywood screenplay, and I don't blame it for that, because screenplay was one of the strongest portion. Yes, I found the plot unrealistic, that i won't relate it with real life. I heard many complaining for the weak story. Yes it had one, but good, in fact classic movies have been made without a script. Take Pulp fiction for example. What I found good, was the missing emotional crap, like many of the previous Saif movies were loaded with. I mean what's the point of an actor bawling on screen, when we don't feel a thing for them. Deepika Padukone, as usual gave her good for nothing performance(Padukone fans, no offense, but she'll never be an actress). the new girl with the funny second name ""PENTY"" did an average job, but she surely bedazzled me with her beauty. I sometimes found myself staring at her with my heart thumping. Saif was impressive, like he sometimes did previously(Omkara). I don't find modern bollywood love stories, at all fascinating. Successfully avoided them from last 5 years. Brother ki dulhan, Imran khan movies, some of the Hashmi crap. This one's a little different. Watchable at home, but its screenplay and songs will be great experience o bigger screen. Overall AVEARAGE.",6
"Just a really good film! I It was simple and just focused on the romance without being boring. The dance numbers fit in seamlessly and didn't seem as awkward as they usually are- which is a plus. Aside from a few extremely insensitive jokes that wouldn't run in this generation, it was a well-rounded movie which is worth a watch.",9
"This is a truly awful film. The cast are simply going through the motions to pick up their (probably substantial Netflix funded) paychecks. Sandler is a lousy actor in most of his films but this has to be his most inept and lazy performance of all. Whoever wrote the script was either high on something or he/she/they deliberately set out to write the most outlandishly inept piece of tat they could dream up.

I wanted to like this film, I really did - I wasn't expecting a classic but rather than an easy to watch and forget couple of hours I had to sit through ineptitude marketed as a 'comedy'.

The only redeeming aspects of the film are the locations and Jennifer Aniston.",3
"So you would like to watch the earth from the space? Sure? I'd say, you'd rather spend some time in Google Earth rather than floating here around with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. Like too often, don't be fooled by the actor's reputation... In this film, they must have been bored as well.... There is almost no action, and if, then you can already guess what happens next. You could think, that the only reason of this film was to show the latest technology for space filming. This very film is not only unrealistic, it's also boring, impossible and a pure time loss. Fortunately, I could borrow the film from someone else and didn't pay anything for it. You are warned.",1
"This tv show is is like twilight mixed with a day time soap opera. It has a lot of twists and turns without much payoff, but it's an ok show

All the good tv shows my wife says are ""guy shows"" based on high tempo of action. And so many of the shows she likes are soap operas that I can't bear to hear, nor watch. Mainly as they s m like the lifetime channel if one long emotional roller coaster of tragedy

But this show seems to strike in the middle ish. Enough to be interesting because I hope something big will happen. It never really does...but it tries real hard. My wife loves this show. So I watch it. Thankfully it is far better than a greys anatomy pace. Although all the witch vampire and demon stuff is soft and indie dressing to a love story. Because the show talks about it, but never really illustrates anything close to what you would expect of a show with those types of characters.

Well this review is all over the place. Maybe just idle thoughts. But that's how the show feels. So maybe that's appropriate. And just as the season finale ended abruptly before something profound was shown, so shall I stop this review. Lol",5

"Started off brilliantly; polished with quirky humour but then became more & more cliche. Ultimately the detective element was entirely obvious. But then the story became completely lost & the plot was a mess that went from zero to one hundred with something that started in a mainly mortal world & then became Harry Potter on Steroids. The three main casts Jenna Ortega was brilliant, Catherine Zeta Jones again so., Luuis Guzman was a strong support but the support cast was so poor. Hollywood in a nutshell. Then Fred Armisen a fantastic actor was just not what was needed for. Uncle Fester at all.",2
I want my $10 back... This movie is not worth a penny...,1
"Don't be misled by the fact that the main characters in the series are children. All of the main characters are very good actors and play their characters very well. The friendship between them is the kind that everyone would want. The story of the series is also kind of immersive. Secret experiments, people with special powers, other dimensions... It is one of the series that makes the best use of special effects. I said child actors are in the lead role, but that doesn't give the show a childish feel. In fact, the series adopts an extremely dark theme. It also describes this dark theme in the best way. If you want to watch a series where the science fiction is well done, the effects are good and the story is good, Stranger Things is for you.",9
"First things first, what was good about this movie. There was no better choice for Barbie than Margot Robbie she's lovely and brilliant. Ryan is also Kenough.

Set design is amazing. Musical aspect of this movie is well done, but that's it. Other than this, the movie is mediocre at best. And certainly doesn't live up to what was promised. The biggest letdown was the script, it is trying to be something more even though it's not. If they just stick to comedy instead trying to make this story deep and powerful which makes it dump because it's poorly done and stupid. I understand were was Greta Gerwing aiming at, but why so preachy why so forced. The thing is this movie takes itself so serious at one time and then not so much at another making it a mess. I think if they just stick to the musical comedy aspect instead of overly complicated dramedy, they could have got away with it.

Overall this isn't the worst movie ever, it's still above average, the direction is good, the actors is good, everything looks good. But you will probably forget it on the way out.",6
"Disney has outdone themselves! For years now they've been regurgitating old stories and giving them the ""live-action"" make over and for years I've been against it.

On the upside, the technology developed here in order to create these near photo-realistic CGI animals is spectacular. This movie looks gorgeous. The voice talent is impressive as well.

Exceptional visuals, strong voice talent and a classic story beloved by all, must be a home run, right?

NOPE!

The visuals turn out to be a tremendous hinderance. What was fun on cartoons turns out to be creepy and off putting on nearly lifelike animals. To their credit, they did try to tone down some of the crazier scenes but again, when the source material is so beloved, losing parts of it sting a little and seeing the exact same thing only not as good just... falls flat.

Seriously, this is a weird experience. The stunning visuals really kill this, something I never thought I'd say. It's impossible to enjoy or get into a movie when every single scene is weird looking and takes the viewer out of the realism, severely magnifying all flaws along the way.

If it weren't included with Disney+ and essentially free, I wouldn't recommend anyone watching this. Since it is readily available for basically nothing, it's worth checking out just for the technical achievement.",3
"I think it's a very good season 1. For those who claim GOT was amazing, go back and re watch GOT season 1 it feels like a cheap soap opera.

People who hate the script or Cavils acting I think they're both spot on and probably captures the essence of the witcher.

Too many people giving it 1 star to counter the young lads who probably counter the haters. Way too convoluted. Was planning to give it an 8 but it deserves a 9 just because some of the people here are just plain salty with their 1 stars.

Also OK boomers you've watched original star wars in a theatre (someone did argue this lol)",9
I watched this movie today and i must tell u that not many bollywood movies are as gripping as Hollywood movies but this movie is at par with any Hollywood flick......... 1st half is average but watchable and in 2nd half movie picks up real pace....its a perfect thriller.....u keep guessing till the last moment......what more u want..... some people may draw parallels with fight club but i tell u this is quite different from that and really a good movie..... Two things i didn't liked were: 1- Deepika doesn't know how to act and she proves it again. 2- the last scene of the movie looked like as it forced into movie for Indian audiences.....if they have not put that scene then the ending would have been perfect....... but anyhow this was a very good movie....farhan rocks......a very good psychological thriller..........,8
"I don't understand why the ratings have been so high for this movie. It's just okay. The visuals are great, but the rest is mediocre.

Sandra Bullock's character is very annoying and incompetent for most of the film. Like a woman that trips and falls when being chased, it's just an excuse to ratchet up the tension with a weak character instead of a tough situation.

The character's back-story seems contrived, just to introduce some character arc.

It's shows satellites and space stations within site of each other. Completely unrealistic.

This movie completely lost me when it had a Vertical Limit ""any good climber would cut the rope"" type scene. A completely contrived situation that defies the physics of space just to try to be dramatic. All it did was completely destroy any suspension of disbelief I was trying to maintain.

I WILL NEVER EVER TRUST IMDb grades anymore. This is just 21.century madness marketing....",1
"Typical over-hyped, overrated blockbuster movie. The movie tried to be funny and serious at the same time, sadly it failed at both. I'll make it very simple.

Story premise? Cheap emotional scene with an undeveloped character that i couldn't relate to. Four characters get together without any build up for them, rather it feels because the plot demands it. Character development doesn't exist. Story is very simple: good guys vs bad guys. (enjoyable for kids) Story isn't plausible, especially at the prison, it doesn't make any sense how each character behaves, and how the prison authority handles it is cringe-worthy. Also it's full of plot convenience and scenes which insults the intelligence. Filled with one dimensional characters, this movie has no depth at all, it is just mindless entertainment and the problem here is that it is generic, i have seen it many times before, so this kind of entertainment is outdated and i'm annoyed at how Hollywood is over- using this. Villains are as usual stupid and the good guys are underdogs who win and repeat jokes after each dangerous situation, such original WOW (sarcasm). Soundtrack is very bad. Visuals were great and had some innovative stuff.

Guardians of the Galaxy is the typical blockbuster movie we get each year which only relies on good visuals and some mindless action.

4 points out of 10 only for the visuals.",4
"Dr Hannibal Lecter has undoubtedly been the most celebrated and feared serial killer in the history of horror cinema. I was in admiration of this super-villain when I first saw him in ""The Silence of the Lambs"", portrayed masterfully on-screen by none other than Sir Anthony Hopkins - a character that exudes charm and wisdom as much as bone-chilling fear.

So when I learned there is a TV show re-creating the universe of Hannibal Lecter, I was naturally overjoyed - and the ratings indicated Bryan Fuller and his directors had managed to re-create the magic, bringing to life the charming slayer again.

And my thoughts about how no-one could be more convincing as Hannibal than Anthony Hopkins were immediately cast aside with Mads Mikkelsen's brooding persona and elegant charm.

The first two seasons were more action-packed and more importantly, showed the great psychiatrist's mind in action with everyone clueless about his actual identity. This was something no movie had previously shown - Hannibal Lecter at work in his full glory, amongst the FBI, sometimes even partaking in the murder investigations as a consulting psychiatrist. And that is when he comes across Will Graham, portrayed by Hugh Dancy, who has a penchant for murder investigations as he comes with a gift of re-creating the murder events by getting into the criminal's mind.

The two hit it off, as Will Graham finally meets someone who understands him and Hannibal realises Will's potential that is just too hard for him to resist playing his mind-games with. Also, Hannibal understands that Will and himself are alike - they understand one another, share themselves with one another, but cannot do the same with anybody else. This paves the way for Hannibal's friendship and love for Will.

What impresses me the most about this TV series is that it, for the first time on-screen, allows us to understand the psychiatrist side of Dr Hannibal Lecter. What does the psychiatrist in him think, believe? And we are shown how Hannibal believes in every individual's true self, and he pushes them to be what they really are. So when a patient subconsciously wants to be a murderer, he brings it into their conscious and makes them accept it.

And on the other hand, he is also the curious 'psychopath', who can push people into committing crimes to see what unfolds and how they behave.

Mads Mikkelsen has convincingly captured the nuances of the brilliant psychiatrist and a top-class chef that can churn out picturesque delicacies, if one is willing to ignore what their basic ingredient is.

What separates the third season from its predecessors is the increased space taken up by philosophy and cinematography. The dialogues are profound and quotable and the cinematography....it is what it is - art in motion.

The final scene with the Red dragon battling Hannibal and Will Graham is a mastery in symbolism and cinematography. And when they put the dragon to rest, Will, having realised his true murderous self decides what he feels is the only way, and Hannibal having realised he will feel incomplete without Will joins him in his final fall.

This show is definitely more than anyone would expect - truly a masterpiece!!",9
"Ahhh this show! I'm so emotional for just having finished it right now! Such a plot, the characters so intriguing & amable, I just have no words, definitely a 10/10!",10
"...the end credit teasers.

I know, I know. I shouldn't expect so much from a comic book movie, but I wanted more. I wanted better.

This is a very big ""fan boy"" movie, so I understand why so many people are gushing over it. However, for me I found it:

boring
way too long
not very funny


The audience clapped every time (insert some character from a past movie) appeared on screen. That's fine, but that shouldn't be the whole substance of the movie.

I liked the scenes with Dr. Strange more than the scenes with Spider-Man. Unfortunately, Dr. Strange isn't in the movie very much.

If you like a lot of call backs to other movies, then you'll love this film. If you want more than a surface-level story, then you may be wanting more after seeing this movie.",4
"Finished watching the second season of Lost in Space. If you are a purist you loved the original Dr. Smith played by Jonathan Harris. Parker Posey is brilliant in portraying this character. I definitly had my doubts when they decided to change the gender of this character, but I was wrong. The entire Robinson family is as good as the original. The character of Don was also changed, and yet works just as brilliantly The robot steals the show as he should. If I had any criticism it would be in the lack of love interests, would like to see more of that. Cannot wait for Season 3. Keep up the good work",9
"Ajay Atul music is fantabulous in this movie and the story, direction and the actors are really win your heart...in bollywood this movie will be record breaker in ranking & it will easily listed in oscar no doubt about that.",10
"I read most of the reviews that the other users left and I was expecting a lot more. For a matter of fact the only movies that I had been highly anticipating this summer was; Matrix Reloaded, Bad Boys 2, LXG, SWAT and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Pirates was a let down. Not in the sense that it sucked. It didn't suck at all. Johnny Depp was hilarious, and the visual effects were great. However it just never seemed to flow seamlessly to the point where I could become fully immersed in the film.

My suggestion; see the matinee or wait for DVD.",6
"The Russian Spy narrative, American versus Russian spies, has a long history in American and international literature and in the movie industry. ""Red Sparrow"" plays with banal ""Americans vs Russians"" story, however, the cast and script make this movie especially outstanding among all movies about Russian-American special service agents. In the recruitment of Dominika Egorova (Jennifer Lawrence), both by Americans and Russians, her training and torture provide extremely intense and emotional scenes. Jennifer Lawrence brilliantly captured the spirit of the character (psychologically , linguistically, artistically). She looks like a perfect pick the next James Bond character, when they finally accept a female actor for the leading role in that franchise.",10
Another best work from the Ajay & his Director! just superb! this type of movie should collect 200/300 cr....,10
"I cannot rate this at 10 and I am really surprised at all of the positive reviews. The first episode was great and I was looking forward to watching this. I definitely thought this was something I would really enjoy . What's up with the third episode about the gay couple which had nothing to do with the story .The lead actor, Pedro Pascal is really good in this but, not enough to give this a 10. The girl, Ellie, Is so annoying and And acts like a brat in every episode. It has a good premise and I love zombie movies although the zombies look kind of silly and you do not see them often. This is more of the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse. I know people are comparing this to a game which I am not familiar with so I can't compare. Overall, I've seen the first six episodes and since there is nothing at all to watch I'll probably finish this I would read this a 6 out of 10 but not much more.",4
"In the beginning of the Coen brothers film Fargo a sign tells us that we are about to witness a true story. The sign fades to white and from within the white a car emerges. The car tows another brand new, light brown car on a country road covered in snow. The story, in its simplicity, is based on an authentic criminal case: A failed car dealer hires two villains to kidnap his wife in order to collect the ransom himself and thereby solving his economic troubles. But the kidnapping goes wrong and a series of innocent people get killed and soon the police is on his and his accomplices' tails. The man that tows the car is Jerry Lundegaard, the car salesman. He's on his way to meet the two villains, whom are the ones to kidnap his wife, in Fargo, North Dakota. The towed car is a down-payment of the kidnappning.

Carter Burwells musical score and the snow softly falling down contributes to amplify the fateful mood. The Coen brothers last film, The Hudsucker Proxy (called Strebern in Sweden) was a wonderful story with actors as Paul Newman, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Tim Robbins. The movie wasn't a success. At least not in the USA. Joel and Ethan Coen refers to the movie as ""Coen brothers big flop"" and doesn't deny that Fargo is a deliberate step into a new filmable manner, maybe to once get the home audiences approval. Fargo is a low budget movie without any stars and with a modest length of 93 minutes with which the Coen brothers finally have conquered the american audience.

Fargo is a kind of tragic comedy. Jerry Lundegaard is an average familyfather who once was every mothers dream that gets pushed around by his wife's father. The kidnapping is as much a way for him to solve his economical problems, as it is for him to speak his mind. When he decides to go along with his plan, it's probably the first in a long time that he takes an inititive. Gaer Grimsrud and Carl Showalter are the villains he hires. The one is the talkative, and you believe he will never end, and the other says less than 15 lines in the entire movie!

Together they make an odd couple that only argue when they talk to each other. They are extremely clumsy and it's sometimes hard to believe the ferocious and violent acts that are carried out by them. The people in Fargo aren't evil even though they do evil actions. They're not comedians but they end up in comic situations. The kidnappning is brutal but the events just before, during and after are extremely funny and it is hard not to laugh. Likewise when the hand over by the ransom money end up in a shooting; and instead of blood it's feathers that pour out. Marge Gundersen, the pregnant police officer that with her thick winter clothing looks like a penguin, is the antipole of Jerry Lundegaard. But Marge isn't a person that you laugh at. In difference to Jerry she knows exactly what she is doing and has no problem in dealing with the situations she encounters. Marge is more charming than comic and is no regular movie hero. It takes 40 minutes before we encounter her for the first time. It's the events before, that introduces her.

Fargo is a black comedy, maybe even a tragedy. The Swedish actor Peter Stormare makes a great performance as the strong silent smoking villain, Gaer Grimsrud. My advise is to see the movie.",8
"Less than average first season, the only good thing is the lead.",5
"I really wanted to like this but this is the worst Tarantino movie of all time. We follow washed up action hero (Rick Dalton/Di Caprio) through Hollywood in its heyday, but it's let down by complete lack of plot or character development.

Scenes are well shot and the acting is pretty good, especially the dog, but it's set in a meandering narrative that made no sense, with characters who never change or develop and by the end I cared even less about

This movie manages to have an all star cast set in one of America's iconic periods without absolutely anything new or interesting to say about the culture, other than violence is cool. Studios need to stop giving this guy money to make films.

Much like Rick Dalton's character, Tarantino needs to face the music, hang up his spurs and just move on.",3
"All I can say is after watching Avatar a few times is that there was a lot of hype over very little. It doesn't live up to any of the hype with the exception that the visual effects were rather impressive but the story line and acting didn't do any justice to something so raved about. I found it beyond boring especially given its very predictable dull story line. You would think after 15 years in the planning and making that the out come would be better than ""A badly filmed version of Pocahontas in space that looks pretty"".

Highly disappointing. The 2 rating I have given is simply because of the high quality of visual effects in the film.",2
"The writing was pure film school, the acting was needlessly overwrought and the directing was nonexistent. I tried to like it, I really did, but I found myself fast-forwarding after the third episode.

With the exception of the actress playing Eleven, the child actors were remarkably bad. The lead boy (who was cast no doubt for his physical resemblance to the original Elliott) was especially hard to watch. ""What's wrong with you?"" and ""What do you want from me?"" he screams. What a brat. And poor Winona Ryder, she chews the scenery episode after episode before settling into a quiet, huggy moment with Eleven, and suddenly you remember -- ""Oh, she was once a really fine actress. She was Abby in The Crucible! She seduced a young Daniel Day Lewis! But where has she been? And why is she working for children now?""

If this thing continues, the Duffer boys should bring in a few guest directors, folks who understand the craft of directing well enough to tease out a performance here or there. And I'm sure it will continue, and everyone will just love it to death, and who cares about performance 'cause that's how we do it.

Is Stranger Things the first I-GEN series? A series lifted ENTIRELY from prior media -- as opposed to, say, one's life experience? Remember life experience? It was the the original strange thing -- a thousand times stranger than media collage. Is Stranger Things thus, the first fully-sampled series? Are its ""writers"" merely humanoid precursors to the A.I.-driven algorithms that will soon be writing all of this stuff?

No series should winnow down to multiple choice endings, but this one did, and to their credit (hence the second star), I guessed wrong. I really thought they'd rip off The Fury. I bet you, though, it was scripted that way until someone in accounting perked up and said, ""If you kill off your pervy, Cassavetes villain, satisfying as it would be, you'll compromise the bundle you're likely to make on a second season. The algorithm tells us so.",2
"Finally watched this after everyone's been buzzing about it, and wow! It absolutely lived up to the hype. I was in stitches one minute and in tears the next. The entire cast was phenomenal, but Jeffrey Wright is truly outstanding and deserving of every award coming his way.

And the directing was absolutely incredible. The way they blended one scene with main character's imagination with the actual scene in front of us was genius. It's not the first time I've seen this technique, but they did it in such a fresh and hilarious way. Major regrets for not catching it in theaters! Would have loved to experience certain scenes that had me cry laughing with a whole theater of people.",9
"Barbie, the iconic doll that has been a beloved part of countless childhoods for generations, has finally made her way to the big screen in the 2023 movie adaptation aptly titled ""Barbie.""

On the flip side, the film's attempts at humor often fell flat. The jokes and gags felt forced, and some of the comedic moments were cringe-worthy. It seemed as though the filmmakers were trying too hard to make Barbie relevant to a modern audience, resulting in a lack of authenticity in the humor.

Barbie left me somewhat disappointed. While it showcased catchy songs, the storyline felt clichéd, lacking depth. Margot Robbie's work for Barbie was commendable, but the overall plot failed to engage adults. It's a decent choice for kids, but falls short of the mark for a broader audience. 5/10.",5
"This film made tons of money, was praised by a lot of people so I was expecting another home run from Marvel, but boy was I wrong. I am a big fan of Marvels work, always catch their films, and am usually entertained everytime, but this film didn't deliver as I hoped.

The main character Black Panther doesn't have many likeable traits, charisma or anything fun about him, he seems very dull and by the books. The best part about this film was Andy Serkis, should of gotten more screen time. Black Panthers sister was good as well, a funny charismatic character.

The film is rushed, has average fight scenes, very limited humor, no drama and overall a bust.

Do not recommend. A lot of IMDBs bad reviews on this are correct, should of listened.",3
"It is excellent.Every character in the story is described really well.I loved it hope the new avatar the legend of korra(a sequel to this series) does really well.This story is about people with different elemental powers divided in different nations(elements such as air,water,fire,earth bend to their will),but the avatar is one who should master all the four elements and bring balance to the world.avatar is also the spiritual leader there as he is only one who is bridge between both material and spirit world.there is Japanese,Indian,Chinese,etc influation.you'll see people with different accents and different bending abilities and thinking too.if you like anime you'll love avatar.",10
"It's difficult to find any sort of movie where thrills and character development are paired with an elegant grace, and this movie isn't one of them. Thin on plot and heavy on nonsense, the entire portrayal comes across as disconnected arthouse fodder with a penchant for trying too hard. While I thoroughly respect the body of work of both leads, this script is a carcass that should have been left by the shoreline to rot. Do youself a favor and instead of watching this movie, eat some grocery store sushi and wash it down with expired milk; you'll have a better time regurgitating, then watching this film.",3
It's a tale of father & son. A story that has no potential. A little flick. A little action. A little fun. Lots of conversation. Meaningless villain. A one-time watch is the maximum watch. Recommended 40%.,5
"That is unfortunate. Could be absolutely great show made based on the book. Although writers managed to make the story very confusing and not making much sense. The absolute worst are dialogues. Most word that are used not matching the timeline. A lot of phrases and references belong to modern world but not mysterious medieval times that are shown by costumes, caracteres and locations. They could have just used MacBook or something from modern technology as well in some scenes to emphasize the verbal ridiculousness. Characters are a bit odd... Seriously the only one attractive part there is Henry Cavill and his impressive abilities to do action scenes. His fighting performances are great!! I wish there were more of them. And please hire professional writers for the next season, it seemed like dialogue were written by students in a high school drama club. Really painful. Such a shame I was waiting for the Witcher. Does not look anything like GOT. They have impeccable cast and dialogues in it.",5
"This just twists me up, some part is actually really good and some just totally sucks when it come's to acting, 50/50 in every ep.",5
"The Falcon & Winter Soldier showed great promise for the first few episodes even though it was hard to compare to the greatness of Wandavision. After the first few episodes, it was apparent that the premise of the show has become very politically correct and woke. It's unfortunate that there is no originality to this series and they are jumping on the leftist bandwagon. Disney and the writers are basically saying it is okay to entertain all by compromising values and serve a purpose of trying to convert people to your thinking... not very Captain America-esque. Also, the theme that it is the government's responsibility to step in and take care of all of its people to the point where everyone is dependent on the government and under their control is not the American values many people were raised. Unfortunately, all of these storylines made up for the overall theme for the rest of the season. It did have potential to be a good show with an interesting storyline but unfortunate of the writers to push their narrative.... hopefully, we do not receive a second season.",4
"The review bombing in here is hysterical. If you watched this show while not paying attention, sure maybe you missed everything that was going on. I'm so floored that Marvel had the guts to do something so different and interesting and STILL have the quality that we expect from the MCU. I've never been so ready to see what comes next. This is amazing so far, just don't expect another run of the mill beat-em-up superhero serial",9
This movie is a compendium of scenes not to reproduce anymore in any movie. The scenario is terrible. The bad super powered german versus the pretty wonder woman and guess who will win ? The actors are terrible. The colors are terrible. The dialogues are booooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnng. A ridiculous movie.,2
"Massive fan of Margot Robbie but she is so much better than this.....

From the get go, this film has no context and just looks like it was rushed together. It certainly has some funny parts but there are few and far between. The film centres to much around a fake world and not enough in the ""real world"". There is also to many rude references which to be honest, weren't necessary. I get it a 12A but surely they knew many of us would be bringing kids along.

It was not a fun ride and will be one film that I will be forgetting about quite quickly. Potential was there but the storyline wasn't. Disappointed!",2
"Intriguing ! Totally loved it, Jennifer Lawrence, - What a grace and boldness !

A clean cut espionage thriller.",8
"The first season is fantastic. All of the references to growing up in the 80's are spot on and bring you right back. ""My family had those dishes!"" etc. The acting is great. The story itself is a bit predictable and a bit of a quilting of other 80's ""horror"" but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. I enjoyed each subsequent season less.",9
Guys just read/listen to the book. this movie is nothing like it.,1
"I couldn't believe how bad it is. Movie has no plot so i can comment nothing about that. Dishonest critics as always, such a shame.",1
"What can I say about the brilliance of this film? Not much.

This movie was recommended to me by a relative and I can say it is definitely one of the worst films I have ever wasted time on.

The similar movies listed here are very misleading. ""The Fountain"" and ""Gattaca""are both very good movies. These movies are well acted and mostly make sense. Some can argue that the Fountain is a little out there but it is at least enjoyable to watch.

This film is painful to watch. Grossly over-rated and self-absorbed. Jim Carey is terrible.

Look elsewhere for brilliance. Not recommended. 2 out of 10",2
"Coming from a 2 year drought with no marvel content. To come out swinging with their first tv-show, and actually manage to hit a home run, is absolutely amazing.

I must say I was skeptical when the show first aired, but intrigued by the mystery surrounding it, as we all knew they had something up their sleeves, and I must say for each episode they raised the audiences expectations, improved plot lines and caught us up to speed with everything that's happened since Infinity war and Endgame, and I actually grew so fond of some of the episodes that its sad to see their individual style not returning for a season 2.

Each episode with a new and interesting plot line with a twist of ""sit com style television"" with small hints and nods through especially the first couple of episodes, whereas it later evolves into the more usual stuff that marvel is known for, but I'm glad that they stuck with the sit com format for the majority of the episodes. It changed the whole atmosphere of the MCU, and changed the way we interpret these superhero movies.

It's clever that after 23 of films, they still manage to find something new and interesting to spark new joy and twists into the franchise and also connect everything together and make you even more excited for the next movie or show on the horizon.

They definitely touch on topics that hit you right in the feels, which I was quite surprised about actually. I was not excepting it to be as deep and interconnected, as it was, but just a cash grab and a quick fix to start out the next phase. I'm glad to say this was not the case, but they really spent some money and pour their souls into making it work. Now that the show has ended I'm honestly going to miss waking up every Friday to watch a new episode of Wandavision.

Marvel took a chance with Wandavision and they succeed big time. They evolved the creativity of television and the MCU as a whole, expanding on the already large array of movies, and now TV-shows, and this is just the beginning - An amazing official start to phase 4 of the MCU! I can't wait to see where they go next!

"Any art is a kind of medium that conveys an exciting idea in a mind to millions of minds. And if part of this attempt is successful, it would be a great masterpiece of art. Nolan has failed to convey that excitement since ""Tenet,"" and Oppenheimer has also clearly fizzled out in that endeavor. The most disappointing aspect is the screenplay, which will not give you a sense of excitement at any point as the movie progresses.

The movie is brimmed with endless dry dialogues, boring meetings in closed rooms, and frequently veers off into uninteresting subplots. But Nolan was successful in not letting the Oppenheimer character become supernatural throughout the movie.

You will be shown the amazing dialogue between officers behind closed doors to discuss which cities they are going to bomb rather than how the dropping of a bomb affected the unlucky cities of Japan in reality. Nolan preferred melodramatic events on the surface to the deeper story nobody knows, which made the plot dull and boring all the way.

The continuous saga of office discussions put me to near sleep, and that's when Nolan comes up with very loud music every now and then so that I don't have a chance to have a nice sleep.

As a final word, the screenplay was very flat, and I didn't feel excitement at any point. But if you are a fan of endless closed room dialogue and drawing board discussions of making a bomb, this is the movie for you. If you expect some upbeat twists in the screenplay, sit back at your home, grab any book and coffee for a more enjoyable day.",2
"This show is alright but it's too ""elementary/teenager"" for me.. I get that it tries to be dark and scary at times but it just fails for anyone over 12 years old. Story is ok.. not sure why everyone is so obsessed with 80's themed shows. That being said.. my kids really love it lol so that's a plus. In mg opinion it's super overrated and the majority who thinks it's the best show are elmers.. (elementary kids) and jr high. I give it a solid 6",6

"Last time that I saw a square format, audio immersive film was 'Son of Saul'. This is also excruciating but for all the wrong reasons.",4
"What a load, I mean what was there was pretty good, the graphics and special effects were what the movie was about. There was no plot to the story, it was simply about being lost in space, which is evident in the trailer. No character back grounds are given when they had tons of opportunity to tell us about the characters, but for some inexplicable reasons they did not. They decide to end a $16.00 movie without a beginning or an end, I am not sure which. An hour and a half movie that was no where near a full movie. It clearly was not finished. As soon as the lights in the theater came on everyone around us was complaining. I heard ""I want my money back."" ""That's it?"" ""Too short!"" And the best was ""I think they forgot the rest!"" Clearly, this movie lacked substance and a storyline. Ultimately, if you've seen the movie trailer, you don't need to see the movie. There's nothing else you're missing. I hope they don't make their money back. I think my review was longer than the film.",3
"""Ratsasan"" is a Crime - Thriller movie in which we watch a sub-inspector investigating a series of murders and since the victims are only school girls he understands that he has to do with a mysterious serial killer. He has to be fast because many other murders will occur.

I have to admit that I did not know what to expect from this movie but I was surprised by it since it was very good. It had an interesting plot, full of suspense and some plot twists that I did not expect. The direction which was made by Ram Kumar who is also the writer, it was very good and he combined very well action and suspense with drama and he did not make his movie predictable something that would ruined it. Vishnu Vishal who played as Arun and Amala Paul who played as Viji, they were very good and they succeeded on making us relate to their characters. In conclusion, I have to say that ""Ratsasan"" is a very interesting movie with a well-written script and I highly recommend it to everyone.",8

I desperately wanted to see this movie, but in the end, there are many many other, great crime movies, that do make sense, that are interesting and captivating, although they don't subvert anything.

I was disappointed and wanted it to be over, everybody else seems to love this movie and they act like it's the best thing since sliced bread.

I would say it was forgettable, felt overdone, and is already dated...",4
"From the get-go, Barbie hits hard with its spectacle and wit. The movie literally starts and ends itself in quips. But make no mistake, there is purpose and feeling to the film. It presents its core message boldly around its character's struggles, and subtly beneath its self-referential humor.

I could best describe Barbie as the inaugural Marvel movie of Greta-Gerwig-involved projects. It has a fantastic ensemble all-star cast with added cameos you never saw coming. Dazzling VFX and detailed practical set pieces bring life to the most plastic aspects of Barbieland. At several points it not just breaks the fourth wall, but blows through it altogether. There is no moment where it won't reset your expectation about what will come next.

There are definitely characters and relationships I would have liked to see explored more in-depth in the film. Regardless, Barbie will send you home with a profound motivation to re-explore who you are, where you're headed, who you want to be.",9
Honestly can't believe Ryan Reynolds would take on such a piece of garbage. This harks back to the bad old days of mindless propaganda-like 'Murica kicks brown ass and saves the world movies. A group of medium-to-no combat experienced 'ghosts' take on hundreds of bad guys who repeatedly miss at close range. Bad guy cars launch into the air at random. But at least we can all pat ourselves on the back because these mavericks fight for democracy with the best intentions. All copies should be burnt.,1
Lots of action. Lots of blown up body parts. Cheesy quips. And nothing else. No purpose. No plausible relationships or motivation. No mystery in how it will end. Not my cup of tea. I give this film a 3 (bad) out of 10. {Mind-numbing Action},3
"(Spoiler Alert!)

I can't believe that there are so many glowing reviews of this movie. On the plus side: brilliant CG, FX, cinematography. On the negative side: the awful acting, the terrible plot, the script, the hokey comic book physics explained for the lowest common denominator in the audience.

I really liked McConaughey in Dallas Buyer's Club - by far the best thing he's done to date. But in this movie? Just another fly-by-the- seat-of-the-pants astronaut, risking everything and everyone, but it all works out in the end. Of course.

Way too much time at the start of the movie setting up the ending, which came as no surprise whatsoever, thanks to the 'ghost'. And then we discover that 'love conquers all'. Including science. Of course.

Probably most of the reason I rated this so low is because with a name like 'Interstellar' I was expecting way too much depth on the intricacies of theoretical interstellar travel, the time relativity concept, et al. Sigh.

And the smart-ass, wisecracking robot was the last straw.

Just. So. Bad.",1
"This is the epitome of Indian direction and storytelling. It paints a beautiful raw picture of Bombay locals, India in general and the blend of crime, fashion world and politics. Both the seasons were intriguing questioning your existence, the rituals and beliefs amongst religious natives, the constant war to choose the side within yourself and finally ends with a twister. Do we believe in the world as of now, which is still there or we think about the world this show has painted.

It's naturalism on every topic easily takes it to the top of motion drama series ever created by Indian artists. A bow down for AK and VM for this masterpiece which will always remain a tea topic for the Indian youth.

I just wish we could stick to India's natural aspects and depictions of stories, connection to roots and values rather than jumping off the bridge by using cheap visual effects or CGI.

A must watch for Indian cinematography and storytelling.",9
"IF you believe that you have seen the best of srk think again. This movie will rock your world upside down and it will make you wonder how come an actor can make you fall in love with him every time he perform in a movie. the story, full staff of the movie every thing to the smallest details has been crafted as an unforgettable master piece that will live in the hearts and thoughts of audience for years and years to come. srk has raised the bar again giving all other actors and film makers a level that is hard to reach.

As for the movie and the story i believe the best thing to do is for you to just watch it. personally when i got out of the movie theater i felt like to buy another ticket and get back to see it again that's how attached and obsessed i came with this movie. if you want your life to be rocked go see it.",10
"Watching this in 2018 (including the new season produced together with Netflix) and Arrested Development still remains very much a brilliant comedy.

The writing is very good, the group of characters very well put together and they have not straight formula for success - they are not dependent on single character, they are not dependent on a single bit, they have no obvious formula, other than being masterfully written.

This will make you laugh a lot, without a single audience giggle (who wants those, seriously?) and it will keep suprising you throughout.

Netflix's new go at the show is very good, although somewhat tiring to watch as it basically goes back and forth on the show's timeline quite a bit and oyu may get a lost if not watching everything in a row.

Still, very refreshing to be able to get new stories about this lovely group of characters which to be honest differ from anything that's out there in the genre.",8
"Directed by Sam Mendes. Starring George MacKay, Dean-Charles Chapman, Colin Firth, Claire Duburcq, Andrew Scott, Mark Strong, Richard Madden, Benedict Cumberbatch. (R)

Two British soldiers (MacKay, Chapman) are given the task of delivering a message across enemy lines to halt an attack that would cost over a thousand lives. Director Mendes' WWI drama cares naught for the politics or grand theater of war, choosing instead to focus on two individuals undertaking one mission covering less than twenty-four hours, with the camera ceaselessly following them in real time. That faux-continuous ""single shot"" gimmick is a distracting one, especially in the early-going; Roger Deakins' photography is sublime as expected, and the technical mastery is undeniable (though some of the edit points are hardly seamless), but the technique trivializes character dimension and the economy of rhythm for the sake of raw, limited experience. Designed to give the viewer a down-and-dirty, firsthand look at the experiences of soldiers, never exceeding its scope beyond what the main characters can see or anticipate, but also never escaping the labors of its own ritual--visually spellbinding at times, appropriately stark and grimy, yet never fully immersive or emotionally engaging. The leads do solid work with little meat written onto the bones besides exhaustion, fear and determination; small roles for recognizable faces do little besides provide faces to recognize.

"I don't have any dislike for the first Avatar film released in 2009. It was a competent sci fi/action flick with a cool premise and a nice array of exciting action set pieces. It had many negatives however. The characters were paper thin, the dialogue veered between banal and complete cringe, the designs of the creatures and planet of Pandora felt quite derivative despite how nice everything looked and, which has been noted many times before, the story is a straight up reskin of much better films such as Dances With Wolves and Fern Gully. However, despite its many shortcomings, it still managed to rise above them and be mildly entertaining.

The same CANNOT be said of its sequel. Wow, what an utter SLOG. This film is a chore to sit through. An endurance test. 3 hours is a long time, but if the film is compelling enough, it can whizz by. Not in this case. The story, which can be written on the back of a fingernail, cannot justify the obscene bum-numbing length. From this point i'll list the pros and cons in bulletpoint form:

PROS: -The visuals look lovely as you'd expect. I wouldn't say they are a massive upgrade from the 2009 film, but they certainly dazzle. The 3D as you can expect is absolutely masterful. Not gimmicky, just completely immersive.

-Stephen Lang. I won't spoil anything regarding his purpose in this film but he's easily the most fun character in these films, easily. One dimensional to the max, but that's perhaps part of his charm.

CONS:

-The runtime. The film had no right being this long. It feels padded out and bloated with looooots of filler.

-The dialogue. Oh boy, the dialogue. I don't expect every character to speak like a Shakespeare character but come on. Sample quote 'I don't speak English to buttholes'. The bulk of the most offensively bad lines came from Sully's kids who can't go a sentence without saying 'bro' and 'cuz'. Because of course if you're born on a alien planet without access to humans, you'd talk like that(??). Sully doesn't speak like that. Baffling. James Cameron having a 'hey fellow kids' moment.

-Unlikeable/boring characters. Never found Jake Sully a particularly engaging character (perhaps a result more of Sam Worthington's pancake-flat wooden performance) and here is no different. At least he had the compelling aspect of being a paraplegic who is now put into a strange body where he has freedom to fully live and move around. Now he's a fully formed Na'avi and that interesting dynamic is all gone. His personality is basically 'i hate humans and love my family'. I was completely passive to him ever being in peril. I detested his stupid annoying children, they were aggressively irritating. Neytiri is still...there. The inhabitants of the new water location are also....there. By the way try and guess the character Kate Winslet plays because i couldn't work it out!. There's a reason Avatar gets a lot of flack for 'having no cultural importance' despite being the biggest film of all time...and it's because the characters are absolutely awful. They all speak the same, look the same, they really really love nature don't you know?? There's no real variety and that's a hindrance.

The story. The humans are back and the Na'avi have to move. No, that's it, that's the story. 13 years of writing and that's the best way they could move the story forward.

I was completely indifferent to how this film unfurled. A deeply disappointing 2nd entry in the series. Certainly not looking forward to any successive sequels after this. Might check them out on TV but certainly won't be making the effort to drive to the theatre, i don't care if they play it on a screen the size of the Grand Canyon.

I've seen people declaring the film a masterpiece and showering it with praise. They're clearly blinded by the pretty colours because there's nothing behind it all. Sorry, i'm not so easily fooled. All spectacle, no substance. Visually mindblowing, narratively braindead 4/10.",4
"Had potential but after three episodes, no real connection with the characters, just a filler story for what was before GOT. Some stuff is woke so it seems forced to add people of color to balance it out. Other stuff is very predictable and contrived. Will try a few more episodes, reminds me of after MASH. Not stellar, just a time killer. I think the characters could be better developed but I like stories with depth. Magic and stuff is lazy writing and was unimpressed with what they did in GOT and seems to be an easy out, let's hope they do not rely on it as much in this. The dragons as it was said are the power, let's hope they use human elements as the bulk of the story instead, makes for better writing and more believable story line, but we shall see.",6
BUT they forgot to animate emotions unfortunately. It's just like watching 2 hours of voice over.,3
One of the worst movies I have seen in a long time. Im surprise The cast actually wanted to do this movie.,1
"Three hours . Blimey, what a long film. Dull too ..same old same old. Thor was cool - the rest were not. My 12 year old loved it though - so I guess that's the key. But god it's a long haul. and too noisy to sleep.",4
"Here is another series that creates more stigma against the mentally ill. This is why I tell people with mental illness, not to tell anyone else, not even family. This is not what most schizophrenics go through. I know, it's one of my mental illnesses. I've kept silence for about 40 years, not anymore. The reason I don't hide anymore, is because I don't give a damn what people think anymore. For most mentally ill, this isn't the case. The world wants mentally ill people ask for help, but how can they when they see this crap getting success every time.

There is other great series and movies about people with mental illness as intelligent working people that thrive in sociality. The best one I've seen is Homeland. This is what most people with mental illness do.

This show is trying to make the rarest case, as normal mentally ill person. It makes me sick. I manage on episode and 10 minutes of the second one. I usually see 5 episodes before I review.

Not only the writing is bad, so is the acting & directing. These shows will be a success because exploitation of the mentally ill, not because of the quality.",1
"Usually Netflix originals are compete drivel, and unfortunately Tim Burton hasn't been on his game for at least a decade but this was great fun.

You're endeared to Wednesday perhaps even more so than in other adaptations, Jenna Ortega did a great job, as did the rest of the cast. Lots of misdirects to keep you guessing and no lazy writing to pander to the usual Netflix crowd.

The character development for the main cast was great, everybody got their moment.

Frightening & violent enough to make it feel naughty for kids to watch (very in keeping withe Addams feel) whilst keeping it interesting for adults too.

There are enough nods to the source material and ealier adaptation that it'll keep older fans happy, but it is definitely it's own thing.

Got a long wait for S2 now!",8
If you liked the awful movie 'Quite Place' you might like this. Same thing just having no sight instead of sound. One of the worst Sandra Bullock films I've seen. I'd had rather watched speed 5!,2
"Well acted for a movies series,but the excessive violence,gets to be excessive.

This is the way of films, gratuitous mayhem, and gore.",7
"Somehow when director tries to show cruelty possibly happens in espionage as real as it gets, well I don't see it. I wish Lawrence and Edgerton could show it when their characters have to go through the tortures. Lawrence is supposed to be so good at this but she was not. My advice if I were there while in production is I will have Lawrence and Edgerton trembling so hard. Sense I got from D'Caprio both in Revenant and Body of Lies.",7
"Movie was OK could of been so much better, I cant believe Freehold AMC Movies lets in 8-12 year olds to see this R RATED movie. The overall movie dragged on for a horror movie I don't know why has so many good reviews it was about a 5 on scale 1-10. Conjuring was better - sad I waited to see this and copied so many other horror movies from the past. The house they used looked like it was from HBOs Westworld too",4
"It looks pretty, just suffers from poor pacing, style over substance, average acting, lack of emotive characters. Looks pretty though.",4
"Based on my Childhood where I already watched this show here and there on nickelodeon (not in order cause i watched it on TV only on some days) and tried to bend the elements by myself cause you know.. maybe i was the ONE (spoiler alert: i wasnt) i surely can say that i got that nostalgic feeling torwards this show which does influence my rating.

Nonetheless can i say that this show is extremely well-written, detailed in its world building, has perfect character development and a humour that suits everyone of any age. There went so much love into making this show (e.g. Each element is based on a different martial arts style) and deserves to be seen as a stand-alone big show like ""Game of thrones"" or ""Breaking bad"" and not as that kids-show airing on Nickelodeon to entertain children for a solid 20min.

Its a show for everyone that teaches important moral values and talks about really unexpected topics while implementing everything into this well-done storyline so it doesnt feel forced at all. If i had to point out one thing about this show that sells it to me its got to be the characters and their relationship. If you are that type of person that needs really strong and memorable characters to be invested in a show well.. here you go. This ones definitely for you.

Its a show i recommend to everyone without any doubt. Its timeless. Its funny and sad. Its epic and so down to earth.

This is my favourite show of all time. And my first review on Imdb. Thanks for reading.",10
"For a film about magic, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is sure lacking it. This sequel to the spin-off features too many characters, an overly complicated plot and blurry, choppy action sequences that makes it impossibly difficult to follow. The dark and brooding tone made me miss the whimsy of the Harry Potter series. What has happened to the Wizarding World?",3
"I was really looking forward to this movie. An interesting topic and a movie that had numerous high ratings plus awards.

Wish I had not wasted my time. One of the worst war films I have ever seen. It tried to portray Dunkirk in an artistic way but to me it just fell flat.

What really disappointed me was that the film did not do justice to the sacrifice of those involved.

How on earth did it win so many awards...as well as all those high 9/10 ratings?",1
"I had heard from many people that A Star Is Born was one of the best films of 2018. People ate it up. They couldn't get enough of Bradley Cooper's killer move where he calls Lady Gaga's character's name just so he could ""get another look at ya."" How smooth is that.

A Star Is Born is nothing but a standard feel good story. It tells of a musician, Jackson Mayne, past his prime, finding some glimmer of inspiration in an up and comer, Ally, who is the quintessential dreamer. It is clear that Jackson desires more than just to mentor Ally, and in the process, he brings Ally on tour with him, and Ally becomes the all too romanticized ""over-night success."" Long-story short, Ally rises to stardom, while Jackson struggles with jealousy, addiction, and a hidden battle with tinnitus, ultimately leading to his professional downfall and not unexpected suicide.

The fact that I'm able to use the phrase ""long-story short"" to describe the entire gist of a movie should be telling of its lack of depth. In reality, there is no moment or character that is very compelling, groundbreaking, or even thought provoking. While it is certainly interesting to see Ally and Jackson going in different trajectories with their lives, the direction of the plot is quite predictable and underwhelming. While the stakes are perceived to be high for Ally who is finally getting to achieve her dreams, there is a lack of a true emotional or existential struggle that I know exists for many creative individuals. In a sense, the entire movie feels like a daydream; the perceived story of how one's career might go, given the right circumstances. And while Jackson's personal turmoil is an emotional low point in the movie, there was no true sense of tragedy in his death, simply due to the lack of a real emotional connection developed with Jackson. We get a vague sense of his troubled childhood, but the issue of suicide and what drives people to that point is an incredibly complex subject with nuance in every direction. The film expects us to accept Jackson's suicide as tragic simply because suicide is so shocking in real life, and this does not do the topic of mental health and depression, justice.",4
Honestly it doesn't feel like a marvel movie and the madness is way too much. They did a lot to include a lot of diversity and that was amazing but the movie it self and the plot is horrible. The ending and the tease is god awful I'm not looking forward to a 3rd movie.,4
"The old saying goes that when people retire, they don't come back head strong. I disapprove very strongly whoever said that. When Iron Man come on the scene in 2008 as a remake of the original comic book, I said it wouldn't last. I was completely, out-of-my-freaking-mind, this movie rocked. I'm talking about Robert Downey, Jr. He may have had a rough beginning, but he has shown his true colors, especially the gold and the red colors. Now that they have added a third to make it a trilogy, I can't wait to see that one. I didn't think I would like Iron Man, but I do – here's what I think and believe about this, I think we are going to see Downey, Jr. more and more and more. Great acting, wonderful cast (Downey, Jr., Paltrow, Rourke, Cheadle, Rockwell, Johansson, Jackson) and a wonderful director who by the way made a cameo in the second. Let's give our props to Jon Faverau. Great movie, Great Job!",10
"I mentioned in my review of the first Spider Man movie that superhero movies are hit or miss to me. However, Spider Man 2 is the best superhero movie I have ever seen, and I doubt that any will top it. And yes, I have seen The Dark Knight. That's a great movie too, but I still cherish this one the most.

The movie focuses on Peter Parker, and his struggle with being a normal guy and a superhero. It's kind of tough to be the city's superhero and also be a college student, a pizza delivery guy, and to also help out your elderly widowed aunt AND balance a romance with your crush.

Spider Man 2 is the most human superhero film I have ever seen. Most movies in the genre focus on action and less on telling a great story. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen comes to mind at how that happens and therefore fails.

But because Spider Man 2 tells a very compelling story and weaves the action in when it helps the story, it balances out and makes for an extremely satisfying experience.

Spider Man 2 also has what may be the greatest villain I've witnessed in a movie. He is Dr. Octopus, brilliantly played by Alfred Molina. He is humanized as well, and isn't evil for the sake of evil.

Without heading into spoilers, he steals money for a project and has arms so powerful that even he can't control them. He also self-sacrifices at the end, redeeming himself in the best way possible for the story.

Like I said, the action in the story does help tell it. I don't think I can name a film with better action. Witness the train scene where Spidey and Doc Ock battle on top of a train. From the acting to action to the shots made throughout, the action scene is top notch within itself.

Any time the 2 collide, it's thrilling to watch. Whether it be that scene, their meeting in a restaurant, or the bank chase, the hero and villain are enthralling to watch in battle.

Spider Man 2 is not just a great superhero movie. It's a fantastic movie, period. Take away the action scenes and you still have a compelling story anyone can enjoy. Peter Parker is so relate-able that even those who steer from superhero flicks can find his character's struggles compelling within itself.

Someone sides with me in these thoughts, and that is Roger Ebert. In his review, he wrote:

""Now this is what a superhero movie should be. ""Spider-Man 2"" believes in its story in the same way serious comic readers believe, when the adventures on the page express their own dreams and wishes.

It's not camp and it's not nostalgia, it's not wall-to-wall special effects and it's not pickled in angst. It's simply and poignantly a realization that being Spider-Man is a burden that Peter Parker is not entirely willing to bear.""

Ebert gave the movie 4/4 stars, and he later called it the 4th best movie of 2004. He also said that it was the best superhero movie ever made. So if I can't convince you to see this, can the greatest film critic who ever lived? I sure hope so!

Spider Man 2 is one of the finest examples of great action storytelling ever. It's a sequel that stands out so much from the original that it stands alone as a great movie. I have seen it about 5 times in the last couple of years, and I intend to see it many more times. It's satisfying on so many levels, thus making a perfect cinematic experience.",10
"Bill Murray is Bob, a movie star who is in Tokyo to shoot a whiskey commercial. Scarlett Johansson is Charlotte, she is a young wife who is tagging along with her workaholic husband. When they both become lost in a city where they feel alienated by the culture and the language, they both suffer with insomnia and are left dealing with their loneliness. When they cross paths in a luxury hotel bar they strike up an intimate friendship, and begin to explore the great city together.

Murray and Johansson both deliver stunning and insightful performances, and their is some subtle humour along their journey through Tokyo. Sadly, however good each element in this film is, the result is somewhat boring at times, OK the film is about human connection and loneliness, and the character depth is great (even without much development) but this alone does not make a interesting movie. I couldn't help feeling the movie had little real point, it has all the ingredients of a masterpiece, except one - the story.

6/10 for trying",6
"I came out of the first Spidey-flick with conflicted feelings. It had great 3D effects, a decent plot dealing with the beginning of Spiderman, but a mixed bag coming from the acting department.

""Spider-Man 2"" was exactly the same experience for me. All the good points (effects, plot, character development of Doc Ock) were almost exactly counterbalanced by acting, and the atmosphere, the feeling of the movie as a whole. Tobey Maguire, for some reason, just doesn't cut it for me, and I can't determine exactly why that is. If it's the theory of a skittish teen suddenly morphing into an unstoppable web-slinging crimefighter than it can't be the actor. But if it's just me coming away thinking the role would be better suited for somebody else, I guess it is the actor.

That quite sums up what this movie franchise is shaping up to be for me. Neutral films counterbalanced down the middle by the good and the bad. The door has been left wide open for at least another 2 movies, so I'll likely see Spidey 3 and hope it will be the one that breaks out of this state of neutrality.

""Spider-Man 2"" gets 5 of 10 stars",5
Well well well this is what i call a horror movie ...without any slasher scene its able to make me feel my heartbeat ....,10
The Fantastic Beasts 1 was the most amazing wizard film. This second film something went wrong on cinematography. Two third of scenes are eye candy that not necessary. Visualising the story done way too lacking and boring. Disappointed so much.,2
This is sooooooo boring I've tried watching the first episode like three times. I just can't get through it. I don't understand the good reviews. Maybe I needed to read the books first???,3
"In the book Hazel and Augustus had a captivating dynamic, it felt so real and genuine. It was deep. But the actors did not succeed to portray that, the dialogue fell through completely. Parts that made Augustus so charming, like how he first asked Hazel over in the book talking about vendetta. Parts like that completely cut out. Such parts completely lost their build. I do like Von Houten or what the fictional author now be called. The actor did an amazing job and I really enjoying seeing him on screen, hence the two stars, otherwise it would have gotten zero. Because the movie flopped completely, I did not get that understanding for terminal illness as the book gave me and the love story didn't move me at all.",2
"This movie takes both the greatest weaknesses of Ryan Reynolds as an actor, and all the flaws of Michael Bay as a director and combines them into one big mess of a movie.

""6 Underground"" set a record for how quickly it could upset an audience and have them turn off the movie. In the day and age where movies try to sell themselves in the first 5 minutes, that way they don't switch what their streaming on Netflix. Thankfully this movie made it clear in the first 5 minutes that this movie was not concerned with character, story or filming with any clarity.

This would be the very example I would show to a class of how not to shoot an action scene. It is cut to pieces; camera is always moving, and the audience cannot tell what is going on.

Not much to say. Bad characters, bad action and bad story, a bad time to be had.",2
"After about a month of playing theatres, I finally got to see Superbad with my friend after seeing the other movies that had come out that we wanted to see. My friend liked it though he thought it had too much profanity. I didn't have a problem with the language but I did think the funny stuff came in little doses between several scenes that dragged. I liked the performances of Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, and Chris Mintz-Plasse as the high school seniors trying to get laid two weeks before graduation as well as the slacker cops played by Bill Hader and the movie's co-writer Seth Rogen. But their performances weren't enough to make this a hilariously funny movie like I usually expect from producer Judd Apatow who had no hand in writing this movie like he had in his previously very funny directorial outings, The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up. Still, despite its unevenness, Superbad does get points for making the main characters' growing pains seem real and for getting the potential girlfriends of Hill and Cera not seem like such sluts...",6
"The Punisher, a gritty symphony of violence and vengeance that had me hooked from the first skull-emblazoned bullet. Jon Bernthal's portrayal of Frank Castle is a masterclass in brooding intensity, a wounded antihero navigating the shadows with a brutal finesse. The film editing slices through the narrative like Castle through criminals, sharp and relentless. Strengths lie in its unapologetic exploration of trauma, morality, and the blurred lines between hero and villain. Weaknesses? Perhaps a few narrative detours that felt like taking a scenic route in a city of chaos, but they add depth to Castle's tortured psyche. The music, a thunderous soundtrack, is the war drums echoing in the heart of the series, underscoring every bone-crushing fight. Cinematography paints a dark, atmospheric backdrop, a canvas for the Punisher's brutal ballet. The message? Justice isn't always clean, and heroes are often born from the ashes of tragedy. 8/10 is a nod to its unrelenting power, a series that doesn't just explore the darkness but immerses you in it, leaving you questioning the blurred lines between right and wrong long after the credits roll.",8
"Great horror film here! If you don't like horror/thriller movies, then do yourself a favor and don't watch. I'll never understand why people who don't even like these types of movies watch them just to give poor reviews. It doesn't reflect it well for others who do like the horror genre. Sooooooo, this movie does have some expected things that happen, but it is still entertaining! There is a little gore and there were a couple parts that made me go oooo no no no, nope. Lol. Overall without giving it all away, it's definitely worth the watch. The acting was superb and you could really feel from everyone in the movie, all of the different emotions that were in play; that just made it so much more gut wrenching in my opinion. This will be fun trying to sleep tonight. Enjoy the movie!",10
"I know a lot of fans of the show are obviously not going to agree with me about the above statement, but I have my reasons to say that it is so I am just going to ignore the hype in this review. I'm not saying its the worst anime or very bad, but its just very corny. Everything also takes so damn long to happen... Take the classic Namek-saga for example; supervillian alien Frieza puts some kind of time-bomb-mechanism inside the planet that will supposedly blow the whole planet up in 5 minutes or so. Then a few episodes ahead, the planet is still there and our hero Goku is still fighting Frieza in a battle that seems endless by this time. Its just filler to stretch the duration of episodes and to keep people watching the show. I know that this particular scene was stretched to let the manga keep up with the show, but its still no excuse I think. So if you are going to watch this, you are going to have a lot of patience, especially for the later seasons.

The later seasons is also where stuff becomes really predictable... It was up until the Buu-saga that I was starting to recognize a pattern in the show. Its almost literally the same stages towards victory every season, and thats the reason why I have quit watching. Sure, it was a very influential anime and I have to admit that the show had a great start, but I think that every real anime-fan like me knows that there is better stuff out there then DragonBall Z. The fights are also a bit flat to me. What interests me, is to know what kind of attacks characters have and what they exactly do. In DragonBall Z however, the attacks all look like random color energy-beams or balls and even though there are different names to them there is no real distinction which was kinda boring to me.

If you are new to anime, then you could give this a try though. This show is very easy to get into and that is what made this so popular. However, if you want to see more 'complicated' anime's then you should look elsewhere. This is not a bad show, but its a no-brainer that kinda repeats itself in the later seasons.",4
"Another heartbreaking example of a sequel riding on the back of it's brilliant forbearer without bothering to understand what made the original great in the first place. The script reads like the outline to a self-indulgent fan fiction, where all your favorite characters come to the party and their flaws are the quirky, fun, forgivable kind -- just like the consequences. And because it's 2022, the proud black woman wins in the end, converting all the rich white people into decent human beings after her fearless fight against the oppression of their lies. With such lazy, on the nose dialogue it's no wonder none of the actors could show up for their roles, with the occasional exception of Craig, who must still be wondering what in Hollywood Hell he signed up for. The only mystery is why they thought they could get away with calling this a Knives Out film. Looking for a suspense with no suspense, a mystery without a thread, and a bunch of huge names without a character to play? Step into the Glass Onion, and prepare to be underwhelmed.",2
"I don't often watch musicals, but i was reccomended this movie by a friend. To my surprise, I enjoyed the satisfying flow and style of this movie. Plus the well-written romance. However, I found the movie was rather cliché at times and that's what dampened my rating. Overall a great experience! :)",6
Not as great as season 1 but still a milestone in Indian content. Don't think if there'll be 3rd season... Nothing's left I guess,8
"Quick update: I'm now at episode 5 and when speaking to my sister about which shows I'm watching on HBO, and I totally forgot I was watching this. That's how forgettable this show is.

So, the story of House of the Dragon takes place about 200 years before GoT, and personally I can feel that, but not in a good way.

The series starts with exposition about who's gonna rule when the king dies a man or a woman, and surprise! It the woma... No it's the man. I got no problem with that, but where Game of Thrones was shocking, and kept you on the edge of your seat each week! This feels bland and uninteresting.

I literally couldn't care less if they killed the main character at this point, because I don't care about any of these people.

I've also been taken a bit away with the dragons in the show. Not the much the design, I quickly got used to the very long neck and fishy kind of tail on the red dragon. But I don't feel like they blend in as good as they did in GoT. This could be because the budget is smaller for this show but I don't know.

I'm probably gonna keep watching the season, but if they don't start turning down the political BS, and start bringing some character for me to care about, that's probably all I'm gonna watch.

If you have high expectations for the show, I would say kill them like they killed Oberyn Martellin in GoT, because it will not live up to that.

If you have no expectations, then yeah, I'd recommend... I'd recommend just watching Game of Thrones because then you probably didn't watch that 😉",5
"When a movie is based on actual historical content, it's hard not to go into it without having certain expectations. From what I knew on the battle of Dunkirk, I was expecting a gripping story on the heroic effort and sacrifices made by the French Army on the defensive line to keep the Germans at bay long enough for hundreds of thousands of British and Allied troops to escape; to live to fight another day and win the war. I was expecting to be awed by a true appreciation for the grand scale of evacuating hundreds of thousands of soldiers under enormous pressure. And while I understand going into a movie with high expectations isn't always a good idea, it's hard not to expect anything less than an impressive story, particularly when you know that story is true.

Although the movie had initially appeared to be ready to deliver on these expectations, it didn't take me very long at all to realize that, sadly, Dunkirk would ultimately fail to deliver on any of it.

There were no battles on the defensive line and air battles were portrayed in this film in a way that made German pilots seem like unworthy adversaries; easier to shoot down than ducks in an Atari video game. The film also fell disappointingly short on portraying the true scope of the operation. I've seen longer lines of people waiting to buy the new iPhone than the lines of soldiers portrayed on the beaches awaiting evacuation.

I had found it disappointing that 20 minutes into the film I was still wondering what the plot was on a story I was already familiar with. The lack of dialog was also so obvious and overdone that I had started to grow annoyed by it.

In the end, I was left wondering why this movie received so much hype and such high ratings. The only possible explanation I could provide is that there must be an awful lot of people out there who like to analyze movies scene by scene, in a DIY director's cut fashion, so that they can offer an interpretation on what they think the director is trying to portray though his artistic creativity, because these high ratings seem to have absolutely nothing to do with this actually being an entertaining movie.

Director Christopher Nolan seemed too lazy and bothered to even halfheartedly attempt to deliver on anything that made the battle of Dunkirk so historically significant, choosing instead to focus far too much on creating some new kind of Tarantino/Pulp Fiction-esque piece of story telling that Hollywood elites and snobby critics can adore him for.",3
"After years of having only seen a handful of episodes, I've finally watched the full series & I can safely say I think it's the best animated series to come from the US.

Telling a story with genuine heart & depth, with characters that learn, develop, and you really connect with. Seriously the best redemption arc in all of television. The world-building at display here feels to effortless yet so comprehensive. Gorgeous animation, full of detail & care, with amazing choreography & expression.

I love this show.",10
"I agree with many comments here that the movie has a really weak and stupid plot, really artificial. It feels like watching Final Destinations in Space. Only that the Final Destinations series had more characters and more interesting and grabbing plots. I thought that the Oscar's was a serious award for professionals. Well, the fact that this movie is nominated demonstrated its lack of credibility. I have to wonder what's behind the scenes in Oscar nomination. Could be a lot of money/favor driven deals.

I don't blame the movie. Every year thousands of stupid movies are produced. I blame the Oscar's. While maybe I took them too seriously.

Sandra Bullock's acting was good. However, there is a limit what you can do in a shallow plot. Cate Blanchett in Blue Jasmine had the most impressive performance in 2013. In fact, it's one of the most memorable performance in years.",4
"I would have given this the 1 it deserves but since it's not based on an actual event I cut them some slack.

I'm so glad that Einstein figured out the principals of relativity. Most of the people I meet still think the world revolves around them.

Then Einstein played the ""what if"" game with Physics. What if you could travel near the speed of light and take a trip, blah, blah, blah. You can't. They can't.

Here's where the 8.8 rating comes from. People want to believe almost anything that is impossible. This movie is garbage.

I'm not humorless. Time travel is garbage too but I enjoyed the BACK TO THE FUTURE trilogy. It was funny and kinda clever. Not this rag. Save your money and remember: your life clock is ticking and there's no way you're going to recover an of it that you spend, in this case 3 hours.",2
This movie could have been good if the lead was not such a terrible actor. Terrible. And the duo of the private eye and his girlfriend was unbelievable. The script is mostly bad - but it has moments. Some ok reversals in the final few moments. I admit I did not see the end twist. But the lead actor is dreadful and he cannot make a believable lead. It becomes annoying to listen to him and watch his face.,3
"The Fablemans is a well crafted movie, as you would expect, that provides a small glimpse of the development years of Mr Spielberg.

The telling is very endeering and sweet in spite of the fact that his mum was nutty (explained as excentric) and his dad was largely missing in action and unsupportive.

What shines through is Spielberg's love and fascination with the movies. This is articulated brilliantly by Gabriel LaBelle who was perfectly cast as SS.

Its a lengthy film that glides through its running time effortlessly.

There is talk of a sequel and I for one would like to see it as the best was yet to come :)",7
I think I would have given this more if I hadn't read the books and had such high expectations.,8
"Netflix totally blew it with this one. I've never seen the original but if a reboot was being made then it definitely had to be at the least decent with some fan-following. Let me just say that with this one, the initial one got so buried. Netflix in trying to churn more content has clearly lost sight on this one.

While the series has stunning visuals and good picturization, the storyline and characters are terribly boring and cliche. The cast might have just signed their last assignment with this one. The most annoying has to be the lady impersonating Dr. Smith who is pathetic. The Robinson kids are terrible and the parents are equally worse.

WORD OF ADVICE- That's a few hours of my fastforwarded series time that I won't get back. Don't do the same mistake.

Ps: It's painful to see a Robot Alien (i.e clearly an advance species) behaving terribly dumb!",1
"Lovely retaking the old movie. Enjoying too see, but... thats it. This last for 1 season which is great. Then though the imagination seems to end, and each repetitive shallow idea of happening and superficial line, tend to become almost suffering, reaching into the third season. Political correctness and choosing actors due to looks vs. Acting skills seem to be a part of the recipee. Its not wrong, but it is too much of it.",5
"If you liked The Happening, Walking dead, The day of the Triffids, The Train, Cloverfield ect you will like this, it would have been more entertaining if she had a blindfolded pet chimp and periodically moonwalked to Thriller everytime the bogey thing was about but you can't have everything..",3
"Nice mix of space opera and family drama. All the actors are great and it's pretty tightly written, even has a few lovely little clever surprises (like the subtitled scene in the cave episode). Mixes the episodic and serialised styles of sci-fi shows pretty seamlessly too, so you get a nice adventure/danger of the week interspersed through a longer narrative. It's actually taken me a bit by surprise that I like it so much as I avoided watching it for some reason. Well done Netflix, this is a good one. Looking forward to the concluding season.",8
"Painfully long - this could have been a 90minute movie with pace and precision - instead it was a 180minute nose bleed full of irrelevancy that should have been left on the cutting room floor.

Really slack storytelling - key bits never explained or exposed and often rushed. Dull peripheral stuff laboured over for 20 minutes a time.

Such an obvious plot - after the first 10 minutes you knew EXACTLY what was going to happen - and then it did and then finally you got to go home.

This is a classic case of a A List actor and director being allowed to do just whatever they damn well wanted to do. They needed a really strong script editor and a real producer who wasn't going to put up with their prima donna nonsense. Overall a wasted opportunity - although Leonardo's performance was really pretty good which is where the 2 points come from.",2
"This is simply one of the best Nickelodeon cartoons (can be considered an anime) of all time, And no I am not lying when I say that this series can be extremely relatable to kids and adults! The main characters (Aang, Katara, Sokka) are all very likeable. Very realistic scenarios that the three of them stand in, This show has a fantastic sense of humor! I recommend this show to the children, the teens, and the adults!",10
"Everything bad in this movie: 1. Casting. It's terrible, really. Acting of characters is super weak. They playing Santa Barbara roles. Not GoT prequel. What a shameful acting.

2. Script. No twists. I can't even find myself interested not even once. GoT hooked me from series 1.

3. CGI. Guys,.some new games like RDR2 at ultra do better picture In realtime that this awfully render.

4. Even music - it's the same! Bc they want to hype upon GoT.

5. Mat Smith as a maniac selfish lover? Cmone ! Not s dime! Even in sex scene he is still some geek turned inside himself and rly not that kind of person.

6. Remember GoT when every charachter, every spin, worth and fun and intriguing to whatcha and follow. Here - nothing even close.",5
"Gravity (2013) directed by Alfonso Cuarón, starring Sandra Bullock as Dr. Ryan Stone and George Clooney as Matt Kowalsky, depicted American Astronauts stranded in space after their shuttle is destroyed. The concept is very interesting and has the potential to be a great story, but the film was lackluster in its storytelling. I waited for the story to pick up and get interesting and it never did. The film felt slow and the story never picked up; even the end felt abrupt as there was no build up to it. The story had no progression and felt very one note. There were moments that seemed very forced to try and make it exciting and interesting but they felt out of place in the movie. Although, there were aspects of the movie that were interesting such as, the first person shots, and the silence during parts of the film. The silence was powerful in that it truly reflected space. The first person shots were unique and made you see the film through the characters eyes. But these moments did not make up for the lackluster story telling. The ending was OK and worked for the story; but also fell flat of the grand moment it was set up to be. Overall the film was slow and didn't measure up to the epic story that it could have been.",3
"So let me get this straight - people didn't like spider-man 3 because there were too many villains , but this one is the best because there are too many villains?!? One of the lamest and most childish movies I have ever watched. I've been a fan of spider-man for almost 30years, and this right here is for little kids. I really hope they will make an adult version, with grown-up talks and jokes.",3
"I've seen this as a child, as a teen and as an adult. The older I get the more I understand the show and the better it becomes. To believe a kids show from 2006 can be an ever evolving piece of art in the eyes of the audience is a truly unique and spectacular thing to behold. No matter your age, gender, sexuality, religion or background there is genuinely something for everyone in this incredible journey that has taught me more about life than a hundred documentaries. In this modern day and age, the character of uncle Iroh is a perfect portayel of what it means to be a man. He is kind, strong, caring, loyal and a spokesman for love and peace. These are the qualitys of the true modern man. Please give this show a chance if you haven't already.",10
"I think the title of my review says it all. It actually starts without substance, but as far as what the show is intended to be about, the main character lusts after a video game. Lame!!!",2
"I kept hitting pause to see how much time was left until the ending. I think the reviewrs that gave it 9 and 10 stars just just don't watch many (if any) good movies.The things people could do while blindfolded are absolutely preposterous. I do enjoy Netflix originals as a rule, this is not one of them. If you're reading these reviews you've probably already watched the movie so spoilers aren't needed here.Just not a good movie in spite of some good reviews.",1
"""American Fiction"" is a comedy drama film written and directed by Cord Jefferson, based on the novel ""Erasure"" by Percival Everett. Starring Jeffrey Wright in the lead role, it stands as one of the best written, most damning satires about racial stereotypes to hit movie screens in a very long time.

In Los Angeles, literature professor Thelonious ""Monk"" Ellison (Jeffrey Wright) is placed on mandatory leave by his university after frequently arguing with his students over differing opinions on racial issues. Wishing to spend this time off with his family, Monk travels to Boston to meet up with them and later decides to attend a literary seminar taking place nearby. Monk's Q&A panel receives very little attention due to most of the attendees choosing instead to watch an onstage interview with author Sintara Golden (Issa Rae), whose novel ""We's Lives in Da Ghetto"" has become a number one bestseller. Surprised at how much Sintara's book panders to African American stereotypes yet receives such glowing praise from readers, Monk decides to write his own novel in the exact same style, titling it ""My Pafology"" and loading it up with every cliche imaginable for a black writer. Under the pen name ""Stagg R. Leigh"", Monk sends his completed novel to various publishers out of spite and is soon shocked to discover that he is now being offered $750,000 and a movie deal for the rights to his story.

It can be difficult for creative people to compromise their vision for the sake of pandering to others. All too often, many writers, artists, performers, and other similar folk are at the mercy of company executives forcing them to make changes to their work as a result of wishing to keep up with the times. Of course, this can yield mixed results, as while the creators in question will likely profit greatly from their amended product, a major part of their true selves may have been severely altered in the process. This is especially the case with the current political climate, with many people being forcibly made to acquiesce to modern views on race, sexuality, and gender identity whether they agree with any of it or not. The film ""American Fiction"" is an excellent example of how it is possible to satirise the world's view on stereotypes without once resorting to sensationalism or condescension.

From the very opening scene, you can immediately tell what direction this movie is going to take with its satirical point of view. We watch as Monk, a well educated African American university scholar, has an argument with one of his white female students regarding the title of a book he is teaching the class. The book in question, whose title contains a racial slur, offends the young student with hair dyed neon green, prompting her to question why he isn't offended along with her. Monk tells the student that if he is capable of understanding the proper context of what is being taught, then she can as well, which he soon learns the hard way is not the case at all. The scathing yet humorous look at the way modern teachers have to deal with these types of students, especially from an African American perspective, is one of the many reasons this movie works as well as it does. This is because it allows the audience to see the hypocrisy of virtue signalling, which calls attention to the subconscious racism on display by the very ones who claim to be against it.

Later on when Monk writes his book, we watch as he dumbs down every element of his otherwise intelligent storytelling technique. Gone is his sophisticated writing style and in its place is the stereotypical African American street vernacular spoken by violent gun-wielding criminals as the main characters. Coming from a man with such a highly educated background, it becomes obvious to the viewer that it is a painful experience for Monk to compromise what could have been a clever in-depth story about two black friends, but he forcefully presses on to prove his point about pandering. To his surprise, Monk's experiment works a little too well, and he finds himself offered a large sum of money just for the publishing rights alone. On that note, perhaps the best way to describe this film is that it's like a combination of Mel Brooks's ""The Producers"" and Spike Lee's ""BlacKkKlansman"", as each involve some kind of deceptive plan that goes horribly right for the protagonist.

In addition to the sharply satirical humour woven throughout the story, the film also has its fair share of deeply emotional moments, primarily shown through members of Monk's immediate family. Although it is shown that Monk had a respectable upbringing, his family has still been subjected to various ups and downs that have essentially shaped him into the person he is today. For instance, his mother Agnes (Leslie Uggams) suffers from early stages of Alzheimer's disease, causing her to forget most of the great achievements he and his other siblings have accomplished throughout their lives. Because of this, Monk is forced into an ultimatum; move her into an expensive nursing home with his own money or let his siblings sort things out for a cheaper price.

Also, Monk's estranged brother Cliff (Sterling K. Brown) has been living a hedonistic lifestyle after divorcing his wife, frequently engaging in drug use and sexual encounters. We later see that Cliff, whose divorce was the result of him coming out as gay, is now at odds with Agnes due to her homophobic views on family values, putting a strain on his relationship with her. I was highly impressed with the way director Cord Jefferson was able to juggle all of Monk's family issues so smoothly while simultaneously keeping the core satirical elements at the forefront of the story. Most first time filmmakers would greatly falter in this department, but Jefferson strikes the perfect balance between darkly comical and touchingly dramatic without ever using cheap jokes or unearned sentimentality to get the point across.

In his best film performance to date, Jeffrey Wright does a fantastic job in the role of Monk. Several times throughout the film, we witness Monk react to all of the bizarre, sometimes frustrating things that end up happening to him, and Wright's facial expressions and body language certainly shine during these scenes. In the previously mentioned opening, it's easy to understand how irritated Monk must be at dealing with socially ignorant people like his offended student, and the repressed annoyance he shows is both funny and relatable just by the level of self control he has during this situation. I've always found Wright to be an underrated actor who has never become a household name despite starring in several on screen productions over the years, so it's nice to see him finally receive some mainstream acknowledgement for his work in this film.

Worth mentioning as well is Sterling K. Brown as Cliff, Monk's estranged homosexual younger brother. What I liked most about Cliff as a character is the way in which he acts as a reminder to Monk of the importance of staying true to himself. In one scene, which I won't discuss in too much detail due to spoilers, we see Cliff and Monk talking about the long term impact of doing things to appease others rather than yourself. This introspective chat about living life your own way is among the most emotionally affecting parts of the film, and Brown definitely holds his own alongside Wright during this particular moment. You are really given the sense that these two brothers now share a common ground, despite all of their past disagreements.

Taking into account its timely subject matter, Cord Jefferson's ""American Fiction"" stands triumphantly as one of the cleverest, funniest satirical films to be released in many years. It's so rare to see a brand new filmmaker get everything right on their first try while at the same time create something that has the potential to be a talking point for generations to come. Of course, Jefferson could not have accomplished any of this without the help of the film's cast, whom he has given them all great material to work with thanks to his excellent screenplay. With all that said, Jefferson has now established himself as a filmmaker to watch and I eagerly await any future projects he may have on the horizon.

I rate it a very high 9.5/10.",10
"This is crap if you are an adult human being with a full grown brain.

but what the reviews say about the show is all true, but what they dont see is how childtested mother approved this show really is.

far from realistic, even further from logical. but damn. kids would love this as they only care about how cool it is and as long as each episode ends happy or even more unknown.",5
"Could the FBI have been made out to be more of a bunch of buffoons? Honestly, Mark Ruffalo's character was so consistently fooled by the four magicians it was embarrassing to watch.

From the mass shootings in the US, I can believe that the dopey dude would think dragging out his gun in crowded place on more than one occasion was a brilliant idea.

Sadly, old mate didn't have one even basic idea let alone a brilliant one. It was tortuous!

I couldn't quite figure out what we had the French woman in there for. I guess she was the ""love interest"".

The ending of the movie is nausea inducing. Hopefully, all the actors who took part were only in it for big $$$'s, because this drivel is best left off the resume!",2
Lowly secular worms are at it again.. insulting hindu belief and rituals is the trend among the bollywoodias. The problem is that these lowly creatures keep insulting hindu religion only or else they won't find their heads on their shoulders. Shameless. Thooo.,1
"Loved the Hollywood setting and the feeling of being transported to the era of the Hollywood of yesteryear. Brad Pitt clearly outshines everyone in this film. No clue what Robbie was doing in this movie, that role could have been played by anyone as it Tate's storyline truly had no weight in the film. It's an uber expensive mishmash, a lot of the language and jokes are old man jokes and it felt simply like it was trying too hard to be hip. I almost fell asleep at a moment, which has only happened once before in my life. As a massive Tarantino fan, it's sad to see the master lose his grip. Maybe he should stop listening to all the Yes-men around him and get himself a few No-men of a younger generation to put him back in touch with the world around him.",6
"Nawaz did a great job as usual. But the plot of the series is bit predictable. Some places it made mistakes of doing the typical bollywood movies trick. But those are very few which I thought should have been there. A lady uses her clip to open the door without using any backup and get killed by the villain. that is typical bollywood. These small small scenes make difference. Neverthless, kudos to Nawaz.",6
"In my point of view this movie is not comedy in first place, it is a boring drama much more than comedy! Yes you will find a very few comedy scenes and i do agree the story is nice but overall this movie not for everyone and it is not deserved over 6/10 rating for me.",3
Its a landmark movie that really helped this style of movie take off.,10
"Literally worst movie ever. 2 hours I'm never getting back. Not funny, not intriguing, nothing at all.",1
"Bird Box will give you a proper suspense that will make you hold your breath. It also has great acting, very good actors, good cinematography, and quality music. Bird Box also has some very good thriller scenes.

However, there are a lot of idiotic events and situations. I know this is fiction, but post-apocalyptic fiction is supposed to be fiction only up to the cause and driver of the post-apocalyptic event. The reactions and limitations of the characters still have to be realistic. Some things that the characters do in Bird Box are not supposed to happen if this fictional scenario actually took place IRL. The title is also pretty lame since the bird box has very little to do with the plot.

Watch this only if you're pretty bored or you've run out of thrillers to watch.",6
Inconsistent. A rip-off of Gallipoli and Saving Private Ryan.,1
"As a man who has never touched a barbie in my life, I was definitely not the intended audience for this film. However, I absolutely enjoyed it. It's funny, entertaining, and poignant. I came in thinking it would be sort of silly and fun, which it was, but it also was about barbie, an always-positive ""person's"" journey into the real world and how messed up and unfair it is. She believes that the real world must be just like hers, where women are recognized for their achievements and always given the opportunity, respect, and tools to succeed in life. She is obviously very disappointed in our world when she actually experiences it. I think any guy tagging along to see this will enjoy it unless he's a misogynist and/or very insecure in his masculinity.",10
"Seeing the reviews I was so excited thinking this was going to be a great horror film. Well, you can all have a day off! The reviews here must be written by a bunch of naive 15 year olds or review farms. That's the only realistic conclusion. It is extremely mediocre. 5 at best. It's full of stolen over done ideas and imagery and has a clumsy storyline. What a disappointment. I can imagine if you're a kid this will be scary but if you're seasoned in horror films you'll be as underwhelmed as I was. It's nowhere near a 6 or 7. It's an average made for teens horror film. Frankly, it's not even worth seeing.",5
"Pointless 2 hr demonstration of the studio's CGI prowess. Mind you, the CGI is pretty good, which saved this from a 1-star rating. But still, there's only so much you can sit through.",2
"I'm not entirely sure what I've just watched.

But what I can tell you is it was a waste of two hours!

The plot is all over the place, the acting is awful and well loved characters are misused to the point that at times, they become unrecognisable.

The cameos are forced in for the sake of it, with the opportunity for something interesting to happen with these characters completely wasted.

I really wanted to like this film, but it was painful to watch at times.

I like that they've tried to inject a horror element into the MCU, but I have no idea why they chose a director who hasn't learnt any new tricks since he first started.

This could have been a really interesting step forward for the franchise, but it falls flat and comes across like they had some good ideas, but just didn't know how to link them all together.

Judging from this movie, Disney are starting to run out of ideas... I really hope that's not the case.",3
"This movie was pretty interesting concentering how well it was based on the comic books, because they have best moments and funny humors in the film, and the characters we're very well delivered on the big screen. Tom Hardy and Woody Harrelson's performance are well performed. I'm also not gonna say anything about the mid credits, because there will be no spoilers of what your about to see that's Marvel's top secret on the big screen when it comes to the audience in the cinemas.",9
"I watch it because I like dragons, I bet like most people do... Now, when I started to like some characters for example princess Rhynnera, directors / owners / God knew who change cast? Plus Rhynnera start behave absolutely insane in 5 episode?

What /who I can like it in the HOD series? I don't know. King Viserys start behave exactly like Baratheon in GOT. Drinking and poor decision making. His choice of queen is exactly like horror movie where we all knows that main character should not go alone in the dark and voila there we go... It's someone sane there? Hello?

ARE THE CREATORS ASSUME THAT PEOPLE WHO BUILD EMPIRES ARE ON SUCH LEVEL OF STUPIDITY?

Imagin yourself build empire with thousands allies and with support of the many and then you go crazy and changing course like 180 degrees in to clearly set up oblivion?

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT. I BELIEVE THAT ALL SUCH DECISIONS ARE MADE ONLY TO MAKE DRAMA AND MAKE MONEY. THAT STORY AND WHOLE TV SHOW IS NOT FOR FANS!!! Sorry, not sorry....",1
"Such a high quality cast and great acting yet, this movie just bored me to tears. I couldn't stay interested.",3
"Gangs of Wasseypur stands firmly on the grounds of direction, acting, screenplay, story-line, cinematography & music. Manoj Pandey has delivered an outstanding performance. The movie has to be rated ""A"" because of a lot of abuses (which implies, its not a family flick). But the essence of it is demanding and commendable. Everyone has done a splendid job. This one is not loose even for a minute. The most important aspect of its appreciation is its star-cast. A lot of new faces and still it doesn't disappoint. You can just imagine the crew on board when actors like Piyush Mishra & Yashpal Sharma are totally wasted. An entertaining cinema worth watching. There is no doubt that Anurag Kashyap is Bollywood's Quentin Tarantino. A must watch.",10
"Lousy film. Why? Full of technical faults and silliness. I won't spoil the film, but anyone who knows anything about space and the atmosphere will know this film is rubbish. There were far too many ridiculous scenes in the film. The story was thin. It had full on effects, but was technically weak. I found it boring. It it more suitable for the cheap thrills American market but not suitable for those who want to engage in a deep and meaningful film. I felt I wasted 2 hours of my life watching this garbage. The fact the ignorant clown sitting in the seat next to me at the cinema took the entire film getting on my nerves drinking his slurpee and feeding his fat face with junk food, he did not influence the 2/10 I gave this film. The fact this film has received such a high rating beggars belief. If you want a good film, don't waste your time with this. If you want some cheap thrills then this might be for you - but watch out for any imbeciles sitting in the seats near you.",2
"Many things to comment on about this epic movie. Iron Man 2 is sure to be one of the best comic films ever. It definitely was way better than The Dark Knight. The one thing that I especially liked is that they replaced the character Rhodes with Don Ceadle who is a great actor who also acted in Ocean's 11. The fight scenes were great and this wasn't one of those movies where there are way to much special effects that it makes the movie bad like Transformers 2. Mickey Rourke and Robert Downey Jr. both equally give great performances. Jon Faverou makes one of the best sequels ever. I also like that they put War Machine in the movie, which was a original character in Iron Man comic book series. 5 out of 5 for this great film.",5
"Good Omens tries to be a drama, fantasy, comedy, etc and fails to be anything but garbage. It is itself confused what it wants to be and tries a lot to be funny but fails miserably. Not one moment that makes you think, ""Woah okay. Let's see what good happens next"". It's slow, boring and nothing makes sense. Forgettable characters, story that makes no sense, exhausting and pure trash in every aspect. Doesn't tick any boxes for being a good drama or a comedy or whatever it aspires to be. Hats off to those who could watch this in one sitting.",3
"In the midst of all the bad things people are experiencing this year Ludo is like a breath of fresh air. The story, cinematography, direction and the performance put forth by the ensemble cast was too class. Loved the movie.",10
"Mostly a lot of flashy CGI< well done though, but it relies so so much on pop culture references, which drags the movie down so much to just pop culture cliches, that most adults know. The world of their future is barely explored except for the Oasis reality world, and the message of the movie is to rely on real world friends and real life, but we just spent a slow 2 some hours watching mostly ALL CGI worlds....funny I guess.",6
"Like this guy a lot but NOT THIS MOVIE! Gave it a good try but after about 1 hour and 20 minutes - I gave up. Chaos, overdone foul language, a time out was needed for the director so they could rethink the ""feel"" of this movie and find some good vibes in a movie that should be entertaining. I would rather hear Happy Hanauka from Adam 20 times over 15 minutes over this movie.",2
"Given the warning is pity would like to see what happen what if he did not Classic moves and lines They make it nicely done with child in another form Dry humor is nice but kinda predictable.

Great use of the name of the monsters, gives really an extra dimension to the movie and story of all Special effect kinda sucks, they could easily be using props. I suppose putting down that much force it is will be felt. Also, the acting is kinda sad.

Good twist but still kinda predictable.

Still it feels too much classic too easily done.",3
"Seriously. SERIOUSLY. I grew up with these comics. The Falcon was one of my favorites. #1 of his limited series hangs in my den. But the overpowering smell of blame, hate, and discontent in this series just makes me sad. There's just no subtlety involved in this project. Somehow we have to shoe-horn in some cops harassing Sam who is literally just standing there talking to someone. Really? The cops have to be bad guys so badly that it's come to this? That's just lazy writing to check someone's box.

Production quality of the show is top-notch. Anthony Mackey is a beast, and is outstanding in nearly everything I've seen him in. Amazingly versatile and underused in the MCU. He can portray depth with just a look. Sabastian Stan plays great off of him, and I look forward to seeing more work from him.

But the writing is just awful. It's so slanted and distorted that it hurts to watch. Black Female super soldier can commit murder, and she's a victim, male White non-super soldier commits murder, and he's a villain. And, it's an immediate message. There's no misunderstanding. It's really sort of shameful. The comics accomplished more and with much better quality messaging. It really broke my heart to see it.

Sam was more brawny and tougher in the comics, but he and Cap set out to really champion what was right - regardless of the cost. Even when it meant calling out injustice in America. I loved it. This product is just more social pandering. A real lost opportunity.",6
"Very very disappointing movie. No story buildup, Characters are all bland. Eddie Redmayne, I loved him in Theory of everything and danish girl, but i think he needs to come out of those characters. It seems like he is the same character in every movie. there was no chemistry between Newt Scamander and Porpentina. He looked too young and she looked too old.

I kind of felt like they tried too hard on the CGI and none of the magic scene was jaw dropping. everyone probably seen it all in HP. there was nothing to be excited or amazed about. The movie was very long, which made it more annoying. Toward the end I was counting down when the movie would end.",3
"We watch war movies for the epic battles and the ones in this movie are flat and dull. The aerial dogfights are on a small scale and slow paced and the action on the beach is not realistic in the sense that bombs are dropped but there is no blood. I have no idea how they spent $150 million on this, the battles are too small to justify this. Movies from 20 years ago like Saving Private Ryan and Enemy at the Gates provide much more excitement and epic battle scenes. You're better off watching Pearl Harbour!",5
"When I heard about the premise to a movie with Russell Crowe being released in December, 2001 (one of the best actors of modern cinema) playing a schizophrenic mathematician, I thought, ""B.F.D."" With acting from Crowe, powerful performances from Jennifer Connelly (whom was always easy for me to look at, but I didn't think she was THAT good), Ed Harris, Christopher Plummer, Paul Bettany and others, I found myself so engulfed with it, I was wondering, ""when's Russell going to go schizo?"" Only after the first hour, I was amazed how Akiva Goldsman (and it IS the screenwriter who deserves credit as much as Ron Howard)told this story with such clever execution! (And he's no mathematician, either!) NOW THAT IS STORYTELLING!

But it was also the resilience of Jennifer Connelly's character that also gave me a sense of hope that there are still compassionate people in this world who still love others despite their flaws. Most people in society today would completely divorce themselves from a situation like that.

I'm pleased that the movie won Best Picture last year, but if it were released in May instead, we would probably of gotten something like ""In the Bedroom"" as the winner.

Timing's everything.",7
"Ruined Spider-Man that is what happened.

Everything i loved about Spider-Man in the previous movies, has been ruined in the this one.

Instead of a superhero movie, it a teen love-story, between the suddenly very ethnic Mary Jane, and i suddenly very useless Spider-Man...

The effects are not very good either, and vary from Terrible to just plain Bad.

Seems the movie is made for kids, in the ages of 7 to 12, and i have my doubts that even they will enjoy it.

Thank you Marvel, for ruining the last Spider-Man you had the rights to make, but then again you ruined Venom, Thor - Ragnarok, Guardians of the galaxy 2 too, so can´t say i´m very surprised.

This is what happens, when you try to change the fundamentals of what people loved about the first movies...",2
"Robert De Niro is my favorite actor, and as usual he does a good job. Unfortunately it's the writing that falls short. The movie jumps around in time, but much of it is set in the 1950s, and the high quality filming shows few, if any, anachronisms as far as the cars, settings, clothing or designs. Showing De Niro at different ages also didn't bother me much, except he looked like a very stiff 60 year old. The sets may say 1952, but the script writing screams 2019. It's a shame because with the money spent they could have made a great film with an accurate portrayal of life and people at the time. Instead they show PC revisionist history of the worst kind, and miss a tremendous opportunity to make an accurate historical piece. The scene that totally lost me was one in which Dinero learns that his daughter was shoved by a grocer. She is sulking when he arrives home, and when he asks his wife what is wrong with the kid she tells him the guy shoved her. His daughter doesn't say much, but does nod her head when asked if it's true. She doesn't have a scratch on her. In the next scene, Dinero returns to the market with his daughter by the hand, and beats the grocer to a pulp. He kicks him in the face and gives his hand a crush injury. . He severely injures and humiliates the man , kicking him into the street , beating the man like an animal without asking a single question.. The movie is set at a time when the power dynamic between adults and kids was completely different. In the 1950s De Niro would have more likely whipped his daughter for annoying the adult if he heard about it, Let me tell you what life was REALLY like in that era for kids: In the early 1960s when I was 6 years old, I was allowed to walk alone to the ""liquor store"" on the corner to buy candy. When in the store, I saw a girl my age telling her cowboy grandfather she wanted candy for the kids back home, and he insisted ""no, they get ice cream, they will throw candy all over the yard"". She was crying when they left the store. When I went out front a few minutes later, she was screaming her head off , and her cowboy grandfather had whipped her with a belt , which was still doubled in his hand. I knew what that was like, nearly all kids of that era did, including, probably especially, the kids of mob guys. I felt bad, embarassed for her, for me, I even paradoxically felt guilt. THIS was he REAL 50s, THE ""GREATEST GENERATION"". Scorsese is old enough to know it, he should show it to us, least we forget it. To see portrayal of his ""hit man"" as a 2019 Dad is absurd , instead of what most ""Dads"" were like at that time. It's revisionist history of the worst type. Younger people have no idea, and many adults don't remember, or more accurately chose not to. Other anachronisms include the daughter refusing to thank her dad's friend for a money gift, and willful disobediance didn't occur much back then. Also, grown men didn't wear pajamas, in the 1960s I only saw that on TV. I heard a crimes division guy in a documentary complain that Hollywood's portrayal of these mob guys as caring family men is ridiculous. They were sociopathic killers and generally made bad husbands and fathers. To show anybody , especially a mob guy , vigilante splat a man without knowing what happened in that era is bad history and bad for society. If we don't remember our history, we will repeat something worse.",2
"The first Annabelle film was mediocre, the second was surprisingly good. This one is more on the lines of the first film. While not awful, this movie was very disappointed. What started out quite well quickly became a genric, run-of-the-mill supernatural horror film with poor acting and cheap jumpsacres. Most of the side plots go nowhere, it makes very little sense and Ed and Lorraine, while excellent, are barely in it. Was going to give it 5 stars but added an extra one just for Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmigs turning up at the end. Would not recommend.",6
"Lot of Unbelievable stuffs in it. Repeatative. Predictable. But still worth watching it. I didn't like the main character. 60's Settings were awesome.

"This film tries to treat the topic of interstellar travel seriously. Unfortunately, some ideas are presented according to our current knowledge of physics and astronomy, while others are just stupid. This mixture makes the suspension of disbelief, necessary to enjoy such movie, impossible to attain. On one side we have wormholes, black holes, higher dimensions of space and the silence of the void. On the other hand, there is totally unconvincing reality of the XXI century, where farmers are more valuable than engineers (guys, really?) and tomography is (mysteriously) gone. In one scene the physicist explains convincingly the work regime of the wormhole (by the way, this scene is IDENTICAL to the one from the far better Event Horizon). In another, we see the mission robot TARS, being the member of the crew. I know that humanoid machines from fifties seem ridiculous today (like the one from The Day The Earth Stood Still), but they are really the top quality idea compared to the robots depicted in Interstellar. It is difficult to believe someone created such a model and the whole crew agreed to put it the picture! It's almost like the the wooden planet from the initial script of Alien 3...

The number of errors and non-logical events is just amazing. Anyone complaining about the lack of consistency in Prometheus (which was also much better than this one) will have the real hunting ground here. In fact, the more time passes after seeing the movie, the more nonsenses are detected. Don't think about this too much, anyway, its not worthy...

The Nolan brothers used their imagination a little bit too much in the final part of the story, where the word ""magic"" (interchangeable with ""nonsense"") comes to mind. As the result, the viewer is left at the end indifferent to what is presented on the screen and does not care about the fate of the characters... Please recall the infamous Black Hole, and You will have the impression of what is going on here...

The music is of course the extremely important part of every picture. If the composer knows his craft, the soundtrack complements the images, creating the flawless combo (as was in Terminator, Starship Troopers, Aliens, etc.). Here we have the attempt to create the epic atmosphere, but the events shown on screen are rather uninteresting, therefore the resulting impression is just the overwhelming noise, making the viewer angry instead of touching or moving him.",6
"It wasn't that good, not sure what film critics were actually watching.",2
"I really wonder why it took Steve Martin and Martin Short so long until they play alongside each other in a major production again. OMITB is full of hilarious dialogue, colourful characters, and great comedy acting. I was intrigued from start to finish.

There were a few minor grievances, and a rather big one. Some story scenes were handled a bit clumsily, especially when it came to reveals and resolutions. The one constant and big complaint I have is Selena Gomez. I am stunned how bad her acting was in this. Everytime she had to walk, she walked very awkwardly. Her lines were wooden, as if she had just read them for the first time. After ten episodes, we have barely learned any interesting character traits. It was almost mid-school level bad.

I have never seen any other work she has done. But I am sure this can't be the same Selena Gomez who is a popular, likeable actress. I hope she gets better in the next season!",9
The story is sometimes may collapse us. But watch carefully.,9
"Fargo is a movie that depicts the Murphy's Law in total ""If anything can go wrong, it will..."" Well in this movie it all went wrong.

The movie states this is a true story, but that can be argued since the movie itself is completely fictional. The Coen brothers claim that many of the events that took place in the movie were actually based on true events from other cases that they threw together to make one story.

The movie's radical turn of events is something that will catch the interest of any audience, as things just don't go as they should for anybody. The film earned seven Academy Award nominations, winning two for Best Original Screenplay for the Coens and Best Actress in a Leading Role for McDormand. It also won the BAFTA Award and the Award for Best Director for Joel Coen at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival. The movie plots have Frances McDormand starring as Marge Gunderson, a pregnant police chief with a sharp and smart mind, who begins piecing together a case where a pair of motorists are found slain not far from the corpse of a state trooper.

As Marge continues to put it all together, more people seem to be involved in the case than there should.

On the other side of the events we have Jerry (William H. Macy) who has had his wife kidnapped so he can get the ransom money but everything just goes wrong.

Kudos to the Coen brothers for a nice screenplay as everything that seems to happen on each shot complements the next, the characters are well depicted and the acting is a strong A+. The movie did have its faults, there were scenes that were totally unnecessary and a lot of people may complement the accents but I found it meaningless.

Editing was top notch, directing to me was not so bad but won't award it. The story too had its lapse it took too long to pick up.

Coen brothers are no stranger to the Academy awards, their 2000 movie O Brother, Where Art Thou? Was also nominated (no wins), their 2007 movie No Country for Old Men won 4 Academy awards and their 2010 movie True Grit had 10 nominations (no wins).

Fargo is a drama, if you are not a huge fan of dramas this could bore you, but if you don't mind, you will find it interesting to watch.

"This is how you make a movie about a serious issue or part of history - 12 Years a Slave is a fine historical drama, with an excellent cast and top production. This one shines bright between all those movies that try but fail to make a good movie on the matter of racism and society: well intended is not the same as well done.",8
I'm going to avoid talking about the heavy handed political undertones this garbage fire forces on you cause that's low hanging fruit at this point. The show itself has no substance to entertain you. Every starts with an idea or two that never really pan out or just do nothing to move the story forward. I loved both Falcon and Bucky in MCU this show makes them.look like sterile betas with mundane lives now that Rodgers has aged out. At this point I'm offering to Marvel studios let me write an MCU TV pilot I can't guarantee it'll be perfect but it'll certainly be entertaining you know the main objective of a TV show.,2
Must Watch suspense thriller movie with great bgm. All actors have done a wonderful job.,9
"Uri is such an epic movie with splendid performances by the entire cast , lead as well as the supporting members.",10
"I soldiered through the first episode. That is enough. This show is beyond stupid and the writing is not clever but childish. The acting might be ok but the casting bugs me out of my mind. It is too slow and boring.

They took all the bad things about the original work and kept it, then they took all the good things and changed them while in the process ruining them totally. The over the top stupidity, the total and utter incompetence of the police and all other people besides Sherlock. The highlighting of the gay theory that is completely irrelevant. And we are bombarded by idiotic criminal masterminds of epic proportions straight from the start - Bond villains incoming for the stupid and drooling.

As a Sherlock Holmes this is really horrible. As a random British murder mystery this still is very bad. Are we supposed to believe that the British police can't think about searching for a murder victims phone at all AND that the killer just keeps it on and with him not at all worried about getting found that way?? Who nitwit wrote this dribble?",2
"Bodyguard is good fun. It's six episodes long and each episode has at least one highly suspenseful set piece to hold the viewer's attention. I'm glad I watched it and, unless great storytelling is a 'must' for you, you'll enjoy it too.

Ok. About the storytelling.

For openers, the most interesting character in the series appears in only three of the six episodes (I will not give anything more away). That's never a good thing. The fact that the character is amazingly appealing, controversial, well-spoken, easy-on-the-eyes, and the impetus for the story, this is even less a good thing.

Coincidences: there are coincidences a'plenty, so many that there were times I found myself shaking my head.

Extraneous Detail: OK, maybe it's me, but a great deal of time and energy are spent on detail that add little or nothing to the story. Blank bullets comes quickly to mind. As does an ex-wife's new boyfriend. And more.

But here, right here is the story's most important shortcomings. Its ending. The tale evolves into a Who-Done-It of a mystery and by its end we learn the identity of the 'Who(s)'. Turns out there are more than one.

Who Number One is a Who we don't care about; a Who introduced only late in the story. It's not even a person, it's .... it's a group.

But it's Who Number Two that is the story's main failing. And here's why. I did not, and do not, believe it. And for it to work, I've got to be able to say, Sure, yes, it's possible even if unlikely. Well, I don't.

Even so, like I said, it's fun.",7
"I love musicals. It would be trite to list all the great ones. And would only cause grief to list the ones I think are bad.

But if The Music Man is the greatest musical ever put to film - and I submit that it is - La La Land is the worst. Cast as badly as West Side Story. Sung as badly as Paint Your Wagon or Goodbye Mr Chips, danced as badly as Elaine at the staff Christmas party in Seinfeld, choreographed as badly as Flashdance, and acted as badly as Dirty Dancing, this is as close to a zero-star movie as you'll ever get.

The opening number is total cheese but I hung in there. The girls get hyped for a night out and I think, OK, this is a throwback to the Technicolor marvels of the 50s I'll run with it.

But then it's just obnoxious people meeting other obnoxious people for 2 hours. Emma Stone's face looks like a fish. Ryan Gosling looks like he's been sniffing glue. The former can act, the latter cannot. Neither can sing or dance a lick.

First I started muting it during the musical numbers (not kidding) to avoid bleeding to death out my ears. Then I started skipping it to avoid throwing a heavy object and ruining my big TV. At the 75-minute mark, give or take, I bailed.

If this is a 10-star, 14 Oscar-nom movie I'm Gene Kelly.",1
"Pretty standard fare here. Isaac's performance is mediocre, Swan's is in the bland side, and supporting cast's grades are nothing to write home about.

The plot is meh, and unoriginal. MK wakes up outside of his bed and can't count for the missed days. Hmmmm... that's it?

Maybe expectations too high.",5
"#AmericanFiction was an emotional roller coaster from the very beginning of the movie. So full of laughter to the point where it almost hurt it had so many funny moments! The movie looked interesting from the trailer, but when I saw it last night in a packed theater the laughter was absolutely contagious. It was possibly the best ""theatrical - community"" experiences I've experienced of any movie. Kudos to Cord Jefferson, his producing team and the cast led by Jeffery Wright (the best performance of his career). Don't miss seeing this movie in theaters! You will laugh your ass off, even if you don't get along with youyr family or friends your brought with you.",10
"Good show, but too many Afro-Polish Elves or Dark Elves or what should i call them? The Polish-turkish-Indian Sorceress im Middle Ages Poland looks kinda weird too:)))

"To rate a film as 1 out of 10 would require it to be so bad that nobody would actually stay to see the end. This might not be your cup of tea, but if you decided to watch a film about US Russian espionage, then presumably you like the genre, and this isn't a 1 out of 10 example of it. I liked it lots. You may not but it certainly isn't a 1 out of 10.",8
"Great effects in 3D but it really is boring and way too long. Shame it's cost so much money, I may well be missing something but uts not this film!

Not sure how else to sum this up James Cameron has done some great films but his Avatar project is just daft.

Do you really have to write 600 words now to get a review published to stop people spending hard earned cash on this tripe? I guess so, so what else to say? I don't really like this film although I love sci fi films. Hmmm still not enough words, terminator was a great film and still works today. You can't hold down a good story maybe James should have considered this?",4
"This comment contains spoilers. A child lost his parents during a robbery in Gotham City and he grew up full of anger. He can't kill the killer of his parents and he decides to become a vigilante. He travels around the world to know criminals (in China but not in Gotham City) and a mysterious man suggests him (after 7 years!) that ""criminals are simple-minded"" and ""You have to know yourself, not your enemies"". And a ninja-warrior training begins. But ninjas want destroy civilization and our hero discovers suddenly that Vengiance is worst then Justice. So Batman begins. This is a very good lesson in ethics. Those lessons are repeated all along the movie, explained in monologues and dialogs by friends and foes even when they're fighting each others. But a good lesson in philosophy is not a good movie: Batman Begins is a really boring movie, without humor, self-celebrating and really too dark to be enjoyed. ""It fits the spirit of comic books"" is the defense-line drawn by it's defenders. Oh yeah, of course: maybe geeks are celebrating it. But Sam Raimi, at least, had the courage to violate, sometimes, the spirit of the original Spiderman comic books and he made three very funny and enjoyable movies. Christopher Nolan's Batman is just boring.",5
It could have been about a half hour shorter. After about 20 minutes you knew how it was going to end. If you got two hours to waste it's enjoyable.,5
"This is a good series, not so bad actually, but the hype people are creating here is wrong. This is no where near Spielberg or Stephen King, calling it so is a massive disrespect to the legends. The show is a mediocre Science Fiction series, nothing more. The jump scares are really bad sometimes, the acting is not really good, sorry but I found Winona Ryder over acting a lot of the scenes. The series feels just plain old' stupid when people keep doing the most stupidest thing possible. I mean if you're standing on a wall and there's fire on one side of it, while piranhas' on the other side, where would you dive? A normal person would keep standing on the wall right... not here, people would look for the most dangerous possible route and follow it. Then regret their decision and surprisingly the lead cast would always make it back too. It's worth a watch, I did enjoy watching this, but a 9.0 rating?!!! seriously fanboys? I'm giving it a 1 just so that hype goes down, as it's false. This is definitely a 6 though. I did really love the 80's music - which was the best part of the 80's anyway...",1
That was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I just watched the first one last night and thought it was decent enough to go see this. Wrong. It is a little funny in the beginning but only for a few minutes. I fear that Spider-Man is going to be bad after this.,1
"I watched Iron man 2 with great expectations as i had recently watched the first Iron man on DVD and it had pleasantly surprised me. After watching this one, i felt that this movie too falls in the list of movies following the trend ...see it....enjoy it....forget it. Though it did not turn up as disappointing as some of the recent superhero sequels are but it is not half as good as the earlier Iron man edition. Nevertheless this is a decent watch mainly due to RDJ who portrays the superhero with effortless ease and incredible charm. But the movie as a whole does not offer anything very different from the usual summer blockbuster. The wit and charm of its prequel are clearly missing. Action scenes are relatively less and the characteristic one liners are few and far between. Still it has a lot of ""guilty pleasure""....which is a must for any movie of this genre. The Monaco race sequence episode has been done brilliantly and is the highpoint of the movie. Among the star cast Scarlett Johanson is a welcome change and Paltrow too got more screen time than the previous edition. Cheadle and Samuel Jackson haven't got much scope. But as stated earlier the movie belongs to RDJ who should increase his fan base after this movie. RDJ has an great screen presence and had lit up some of scenes by his charisma. The bottom line is that its an average popcorn flick but if you are a RDJ fan then perhaps you shouldn't miss this one.",7
"Great action scenes which at times felt like Call Of Duty the movie, but the lack of a good plot and repetitive action saw me lose interest half way through. I saw it through to the end and while it was decent, it also seemed disappointing and a missed opportunity.",6
Beautifully filmed bs story about something that never happened in a pointless war without purpose. Badly edited storyless and with poor poor acting and ....... Why?,1
"The film has superb action, similar although not quite as excessive as John Wick. The plot is good enough and the picture is excellent. Chris Hemsworth does a good job portraying the vulnerable but brutal action hero. The only thing that at times broke the immersion a tiny bit for me is when the movie didn't know if it wanted to be realistic or not. The (by the way stunning) female lead looked far too glamourous in combat and Chris was too superhuman at times when you consider the (relatively) realistic setting. So maybe the sequel needs to be more realistic or more over the top. But overall I found it very entertaining, especially for a Netflix-original.",7
"It started out pretty good. The first few episodes were a refreshing change from standard TV fare.

Then the writers decided to go all-in with the anti-Christian bigotry in episode 5, and I was done. It was typical Hollywood ignorance on display, but with a vengeance (calling God the ""c"" word, for example.)",5
"Hi guys and gals!

This series is the best in the genre (series/mystery) in a long time.

And who delivers again...? You already know: Netflix. They hardly every miss on their exclusive content.

The Duffer brothers made it big this time. I liked them from Wayward Pines excellent scripts.

The casting is great!

This series will be appreciated in by most from 10-88yo.

For those like me who grew up in the 80s this series have a nostalgic vibe also. I won't spoil and don't go into details.

I hope you enjoy it as much as i did!

Have a great time in front of the screen of choice!

Till next time!",9

"I never played the game so I went in with only the expectations of a well respected property. The first episodes seemed ok enough to keep me going, but I found Ellie pretty unlikable from the beginning and my understanding was she was supposed to be the softer more endearing character. From then on the show just got worse to me. The Bill/Frank episode was completely useless to the core story, and just felt like a love story shoved into an apocalyptic world where only 5% of it even dealt with the apocalypse.

The rest of the episodes failed to change my engagement with the main characters. I never felt invested in their story, or even cared if they servived. Each episode spent only a few minutes on the actual journey, and spent most of the time of the ""main event"" of the episode which never allowed the show to breathe and truly feel like a long journey for these characters. It seemed like them walking across the continental US only took them a week (vs 1883 which felt like a true journey across months of time).

Episode 8 was the first episode that was gripping and engaging, where I actually cared if Ellie made it and was vested in her outcome. But then the series finished with episode 9 which was an incredible let down. It all seemed to end so quickly, the stand off with Joel and the Fireflies was underwhelming and poorly shot IMO. By the end I felt like I just wasted an hour of my evening.

Production quality was decent which is why I gave it a 6. But the story and the characters were mediocre at best. Lame.",6
"This is my second viewing. I rarely watch a show twice, but something about the Punisher tv series is so well done, it brought me back. The acting and writing are excellent. The action scenes are good. But I suppose it's the story itself -- of an essentially go man fill with rage and a need for vengeance -- that's compelling. The different movie versions are good too - but I like the tv series for developing a thorough back-story. All the characters are well-developed and demonstrate ambiguity and nuance. It's really a modern morality play, with numerous characters facing both an inner and outer struggle simultaneously. And as in real life, it's never quite certain if good will win - or even where good and evil end and begin. The moral ambiguity is good. The character of Dinah is excellent, and in a sense the show is her's as much as Frank Castle's, as she is heroic in the pursuit of justice.",6

"Yet another video game nostalgia movie. This time we have a virtual world and the world is a ugly place so everyone plays. Nothing new, its been done before in movies, anime, and books. A group of kids hunt for an easter egg inside of the most popular game on the planet (or so it seems). They have to outsmart, and outwit adults and big corporations as they search for the magic egg that gives the finder control and major ownership of the game. We have kiddie romance, murder, and all sort of stuff along the way but that is about it. I laughed exactly once during the Terminator 2 scene but honestly, the movie was not funny and the CGI action was not particularly impressive if you are a gamer already. The nostalgia hooks have been beaten to death already so no points there either.

Not a bad movie, its watchable but certainly its no masterpiece nor is it memorable. Give it a go, but dont expect much.",6
"Actually this is not exactly true - this cannot be the worst Batman movie simply because it has nothing to do with the others.It is like completely new 'beginning' of a completely different story line of a completely unknown hero,who shamelessly has stolen the name and the costume of the one we know.This story of a fake Batman,unfortunately is not saved neither by the great cast,nor the cool effects(I wouldn't even begin to talk about Gotham city - devoid of all its atmosphere).

If you're a fan of Batman and Batman Returns (my personal ultimate favourites) as well as the comic book this movie is a complete sacrilege!",5
"I wonder why DiCaprio never received an Oscar... It is a good movie, time consuming one too, but to actually have it on the top 20 list is absurd, the story had a great cast but the length of the scenes sometimes were extremely long and pointless it seemed as if they were trying to fill in the minutes. Quiet sad, because it was a good one. If you heard about it and decided to watch it do so. For those who are more into hardcore psychology movies and science fiction this won't top your list but will be part of it, definitely. As always the ending wasn't the greatest and elongated for no particular reason. As for the supporting cast they were all syn chronic and on the same page.",7
"Let's be brutally honest. With the massive decline, nay, erradication of masculinity in the west there really are no actual competent adult script writers left in the movie industry and boy does this film continue exposing that loss

because i want to avoid spoilers i will limit my criticism to broad details like this film is only loosely based on WW1, there is no tension, there is only a smidgen of character development despite there being only two main characters.

So why the rave reviews? Visual and cinematography, unlike script writers, clearly still hires competent people rather than diverse ones. Speaking of diversity, this film has it everywhere it can (except among the evil white male villain Germans.) Go watch the documentary, They shall not grow old, and you'll realize that this film like most modern films is utterly racist about Europeans.

Meh , forgettable film that very few will bother to watch more than once.",5
"I love greta's movies and I was enjoying Barbie until 3/4 of the movie. The last 1/4 was BAD. I'm giving it a 5, which I feel generous.

The trama was ""funny"" but honestly not good enough.

I do love all the actors and America Ferrera is awesome.

I was looking forward to like it but the last part was so bad that I can't recommend anyone to watch it. And is not like the twist was bad, it was more like the trama wasn't good so there wasn't any ending that could improve it.

Summarizing, if you are not a Barbie or pink movies fan, don't watch it. Not even if you are bored.

If you like pink movies with no trama, watch it.",5
"First to seasons were excellent. This Third season is so lost, convoluted. The show lost its direction. It's seems to me they are turning the series into a show about the creation of a broadway play and lost the most important and compelling point of the what this was originally about MURDER and how this eclectic threesome were able to solve the crimes with the added bonus of a pod cast I believe for some reason the show has gone off the rails, it has lost the uniqueness that made this a really good series. I truly hope the show can get back on track but for some reason it has gone down a rabbit hole and it seems to be losing its original charm.",2
"1st , the viewer must ignore wolf behavior & treat this as fictional fantasy story tale. In film, Wolf is much better & cleverer at survival than human teen lead. This is not like previous caveman type films with guts, gore, skin & predictable plot. Instead, it's a great emotional story based on some past nature facts B. C, life & weather made human survival very difficult. Many wolf facts are truly fictionalized to point of fantasy. Good solid acting from lead teen who is forced to survive without his tribe. He lives bc he is supposedly ""kind"" in this kill or be killed era, causing him to befriend a wolf. This wolf that he stabs in self defense allows him to heal the wound. Wolf is clearly better at everything esp hunting, & had more common sense like sustaining heat. Taking wolf's kills & feeding same wolf cooked meat is laughable & pure fantasy. Wolf also doesn't hold a grudge against the human who inflicted the stabbing either = fantasy. Duo encounters other creatures in teen's long trek home, & a trust bond is too quickly created, fantasy again, teen names wolf keda meaning Alpha.

For Wolf lovers, this is a ""must see"" bc the wolf is revered in this film. The teen gets respectful explanation of how wolves live as pack & they are not demonized. Instead, his father as tribal leader admires wolves as great survivors & the alpha wolf as great leader. Disregard the modern docu wolf facts & you'll enjoy this film.

Like the Life of Pi, it features 2 main characters, human & predator with little dialogue, some stunning scenery, good score, moving the story tale incredibly well. The ending is a great twist but ruins few previous scenes if one is a stickler for nature facts. Other than several truly fictionalized / fantasy scenes re wolf behavior, the film has lots of heart & can be believable. Wolf is clearly a dog in film.

Good for whole family as violence is implied, & seen/explained as required for survival. If only modern man held same values, our planet would be a better place for all.",7
I really miss these old days when DC movies had a deep meaning and cross-cutting stories rather than colorful jokes..,5
"The show has quite an original and interesting plot. Superheroes aren't a force of good, they are not saving the day. At best they are an inefficient, violent, and glorified police force. But more often than not the (super)power gets to their head and they become unpleasant, some even psychopathic. Many of the ""supes"" abuse their power and cause more harm than good. It has good action and an interesting story.

The missing star is because it is often a bit too graphicly violent for me. Graphic violence can be great for inciting strong emotions, but sometimes it gets a little too unpleasant. However, that is not a major point. I strongly recommend this series, it is perhaps the most exciting series I have ever watched.",9
I was so excited when I heard that Kate Winslet is on new HBOs series but I was so disappointed when i saw this terrible pilot. The directing is so amateurish and got me on laughs many times.

"This was a great all around movie. Not only did it have a lot awesome Spider-Man action, but it also had a lot of drama. It was great to watch Peter Parker try to balance his life between himself and Spider-Man. I also liked the fact that they had him temporarily loose his powers in the movie like he did in the comic. Although he did show his identity to a few too many people, I think he had good reason.

All in all, a freakin' awesome movie. I've seen it twice so far, and I can't wait for the next one either (although it will be a very long wait). I hope the rumors about Toby not playing Peter Parker in the next movie aren't true. It just won't be the same if they use somebody else.",10

"I watched this movie like a year ago, and had no interest to re-watch it, so this review is totally based on my already faded memory. Don't get me wrong, my memory faded not because I have problems remembering thing, but because this movie has nothing much to remember.

To start, this Part 1 is totally different from the previous 6 Harry Potter movies. There is no Hogwarts, no Quidditch, no funny lessons. The film is set with very dark tone and theme, with visuals full of fear and loathing, doom and gloom. No more guidance from Dumbledore, no more protection from the adult wizards, it's the story of our three kids out on the streets, by themselves, trying to find and destroy something called ""Horcruxes"". Most of the time what they do is wandering in the forest, arguing, being jealous of each other, and our poor Harry sometimes hold his head in pain because of the Dark Lord Voldemort. The supporting cast did great, as usual, but too bad, the Trio takes most of the screen time and I can't get enough of my favorite evil side Snape by Alan Rickman and Bellatrix by Helena Bonham Carter.

Being Part 1 of 2, it goes without saying that there is very little closure come the film's finale, which despite being long-overdue within the lengthy 146-minute runtime, arrives with no climax. To be honest, there's still a lot of fun to be had, such as a gripping infiltration in to Ministry of Magic and a terrifying confrontation with Voldemort's pet-snake Nagini, and a fairy tale about the Deathly Hallows, but overall, it does not come close to expectation.

"What was done in this movie, in terms of the graphical effects, is surreal. Simple story, not so realistic, but that manages to push the plot well, George's character with his funny way, comes to relieve the tensions experienced by Sandra.

The film is good, don't expect anything from the plot as it is a bit simple, but visually the film is excellent.",7
"A well written & well made engaging edge of the seat crime thriller by Vignesh Raja. The first half was superb, and the second half was extraordinary. The last 45 minutes were unpredictable, with twists & turns. The killer's motive was well executed through flashback, and his sad moments were portrayed good. The duo of Sarath Kumar and Ashok Selvan was absolutely phenomenal, leaving a lasting impact throughout the movie. Sarath Kumar played his cop role perfectly, showcasing boldness and brilliance. The way his character was explained in the last scene, within a single scene, was truly great. The character growth of Ashok Selvan from the beginning to the end was Impressive, his last gun scene was outstanding. Cinematography was excellent. The Background Music was absolutely perfect, creating thrilling moments. Overall, ""Por Thozil"" offers a great experience that does not disappoint.",9
"Not much to say about this film other than a lot of talent wasted. Tarantino's worst film, and not to mention his foot fetish is on full display here.",2
"At the beginning the series is kind of slow, but as you progress it starts to become interesting. Everyone did amazing actor especially Nancy, Jonathan, Steve, Mike, Will, Dustin and Lucas. I would definitely recommend you watching it!!",9
"A beautiful, if redundant, Chinese martial arts epic set at the onset of the second Sino-Japanese war. The eponymous focal figure Ip Man, drawn straight out of the history books, is the peaceful model of restraint and self-control. His easy smile, passive existence and unmatched skills make him very easy to pull for, especially when a trying second act pushes him past the breaking point, but the flick's deep reverence for his legacy strips away any chances at suspense or tension. Though gorgeously choreographed and filmed, the major fight scenes are universally one-sided, with Ip himself rarely absorbing more than a few glancing blows on his way to flashily disarming and dispensing each opponent. Even his last foe, a towering Japanese army general who effortlessly conquers three of Ip's peers at once, leaves behind little more than a cloud of dust and a disappointed, unspoken ""is that it?"" when he quietly takes a knee. Undoubtedly a feast for the eyes, the road it walks is too straight and narrow to be considered anything more substantial.",6
Really well done. Loved the first episode. Dragged a bit in the middle but closed out really strong. Well worth checking out,8
"I literally had zero expectations on this one, but this turned out to be great. It gave a sit-com as well as a thrilling emotional experience for sure. It scored in lots of areas, especially creating the suspense and intense among the audience. Surely, after watching one episode you won't stop until you finish the whole series. TOTALLY RECOMMEND IT .",8
"Extremely well crafted and acted. Brad Pitt is excellent in the lead. Not much of a story. More like an overlong rummage through Quentin's hazy memories and favorite TV shows and movies of the era. An incredible achievement in terms of art direction, set design, and costuming, but it all adds up to something that would have made a great short film.",4
"Another Harry Potter movie which is definitely much better than the book! No offence to Ms. Rowling but her writing since the Goblet of Fire, lost its heat. The Deathly Hallows is a movie which should not have had another part. Its a money move by the producers which makes an otherwise good movie into a waste of time. The gore factor has been increased with also in increased dark-nature to the movie line. The movie's first half seemed like it was there just to fill in the 146 minutes of Runtime and it was horrendously boring. If this wasn't a money train people would've easily made the movie into 1 part. The acting as usual is beyond sucky, with no expressions other than 0.o by all the actors except for Ralph Fiennes. One time watch in your Cinema hall. I wouldn't recommend the 3D version as the normal one gives one a headache as itself. Fanboys need to look at the movie without bias.",6
"I did like the movie, but! Only due to the barrage of magic. Johnny depp was good as Grindewald & law as dumbl.... but as ever newt stole the show, giving us a bit of empathy to a character along with the cgi. So all in all its a good fit, even if at times a little long.",6
"So I had high hopes for this movie and was pretty disappointed. The movie starts off very abruptly, but then does not scale back to give a nice building foundation to what will happen later. I found that the biggest areas of concern were pacing and editing. I am sure there were lots of behind the scene disagreements between the director and Disney, as the first 1.5 acts of this film felt like a sci-fi/superhero film, and then the rest progressed to an attempt to make a horror film. The plot itself was a bit sloppy, and I wish they had committed to making a Marvel horror movie rather than the tug-of-war between genres that was produced.

This movie seems to be a vehicle to introduce some larger concepts/elements to the MCU, but was done in a rushed and underwhelming way that cheapened the whole experience.

The VFX and concept visuals were all very well done of course, and the visual aspect of this film is what most of the stars are going to in my review.",4
"This is the best Crime Action Thriller movie I have ever watched including Hollywood movies. I am so proud of this movie. Hollywood please watch our Epic movie, Ratsasan.",10
"The acting has come a LONG way and so far, this is the trio of young magicians at their best. There's no meed to get into the wonder of J. K. Rowling's intricate story. It was a truly masterfully written series. I'm not one to pander to the commerce-driven lack of vision or talent that spews out onto the screens these days (expecially from Hollywood) but this decision to make 2 films was wise as it explains more. And this film is, in its own right, invaluable, a must-see and downright amazing.

I've read reviews of how it was 'slow-paced.' Are they insane?? The film kicks off with Scrimgour's (Nighy) FABULOUS characterization of the times in a brilliant piece of casting. Then there's the secret mission to move Harry, a harrowing ambush and battle, seeing the shocking death of 2 moving characters. The suspense building at Malfoy Manor, and a gristly murder. An ambushed wedding. Chases by snatchers. Fallings out. Betrayals. More ambushes, showing the diabolical sorcery of Voldemort in his pet/horcrux Nagini. Lovegood's ambush, magical discoveries, kidnappings, rescue attempts and culminating in a brave sacrifice. Then the film ends with a desecration and promise of future horrors. DARK, DARK DARK!! :o) This is no sanctimonious summary. These were the events. And if the film slows down from time to time to reveal more of the complexity of emotional changes that the characters must undergo, and to reveal the complicated plot, not otherwise evident due to the absence of prose (it the FILM, not the book!)....then this is NECESSARY and welcome to convey the veracity of good characterization, and a good story. And it doesn't stay slow for long.

I just can't wait for the final show-down! Some AMAZING actresses and actors will be conveying some amazing characters and I look forward to Alan Rickman's grand revelation of Severus Snape and Maggie Smith's rise to all her glory as the Minerva that NO ONE should mess with! And Molly Weasely showing that a mother's love is its own potent brew...how ironic, given that this was the lesson Voldemort himself should have not just learned but passed on. :o) I have faith in the next film because if this one is anything to go by, the next one will be simply AMAZING!",9
"At the time of going for the movie, I had heard that Sarat Chandra's novel Devdas has been adapted at least 9 times (some say 16 times, figures vary) on the silver screen. It includes the famous renderings by Dilip Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan. But nothing, I mean none of those adaptations prepares you for watching this reckless contemporary take on the same novel. The vision of Abhay Deol brought on screen by Anurag Kashyap (and Vikramaditya Motwane) is nothing short of speechlessly rebellious by nature.

I was an amateur film-goer back then. Dev.D was one of my initial Hindi films in a theatre. In fact, seeing the initial credit of a ""Thank You"" to Danny Boyle, I even joked to my friend that he had mistakenly bought a ticket to Slumdog Millionaire! Not Funny. But the initial ten minutes of the movie certainly were funny. In their own wicked way, at that. It gave an outrageous background of lust to the lead characters of Devinder Singh Dhillon and Parminder (so much for adapted names!) in stark contrast to their love that forms the soul of the story of Devdas.

Thereafter, the movie moves wildly through the lives of the three lead characters and how they get affected by the gossip of the side characters. The language use was preposterous in places. But limited to the point of enhancing the movie and not degrading it. It was amazing to see the amount of care that Kashyap has paid to the detailing in each scene. I particularly remember three of these scenes. In the first, when Dev.D first meets the pimp Chunni (Dibyendu Bhattacharya), the background flashes a big neon light that spells out RAND (slang for ""prostitute"" in Hindi). I was shocked as no one else seemed to notice it and I pointed it out to my friend who was amused. We waited and watched and as they started walking, the camera zoomed out and we read the words ""GRAND HOTEL"". Our respect for Kashyap had increased manyfold. The second scene was similar in nature and displayed the words HIV in the background of a brothel balcony where Chanda was standing. (I didn't manage to catch the remainder of the word but never mind!) The third scene involves a verbal fight between a girl and Dev.D in the bus and the camera zooming to catch the word ""Mahilaye"" (""Ladies"" in Hindi) on the bus with the letter ""Ma"" scratched out. It now spelt out as ""Hilaye"" (""Jerk off"" in Hindi). It gives the clue to the viewer that a break-up is on the cards. Hillariously Epic!

Such kind of detailing by a filmmaker is rarely observed in Indian cinema. Who, after all, bothers to show anything else apart from the actor's faces and body language at the most? But Kashyap, the rebel that he is, refused to stop with just that. He has used dizzying camera angles and tricks (apparently taught by Danny Boyle) that are usually not employed by Indian filmmakers. The drinking scene during the song ""Pardesi"" uses a special camera that was imported from Holland by Danny Boyle and can capture an incredulous 40 frames per second in contrast to normal 25fps cameras (not sure about the specs, read about them a long time ago).

The adapted writing also includes three narrators that appear throughout the movie and keep an eye on the characters, some real-life incidents that serve as backdrop for many important scenes (the Delhi school MMS scandal,the BMW hit-and-run case) and also some awesome scenes (the hilarious episode at the bus, the car crash outside the phone booth) that have been adapted from world cinemas as an ode to them. By the way, the first customer of Chanda (Kalki Koechlin) is a cameo by Anurag Kashyap. See if you can spot him!

The brilliance of this movie does not, however, end with the screenplay and direction. The trippy soundtracks featuring 18 tracks by Amit Trivedi (that fetched him a National Award) are a treat to listen to. They still remain my all-time favourite soundtrack album. Sadly, I have never heard any of these underrated songs sung in any stage concert or in any of those mind-dumbing reality shows. The extraordinary cinematography (Kashyap's regular Rajeev Ravi) has been carefully used throughout the movie to enhance the mood of the different scenes. The cutting-edge editing (by Kasyap-experienced ex-wife Aarti Bajaj) in many of the drinking scenes take this movie to the dizzying level you would expect to find yourself if you were as drunk as Devdas.

I still remember to having spent the least amount on a Multiplex movie ticket (Rs.60) but having enjoyed it more than the costlier bigger budget extravaganzas. In fact, the only ever thing that I could complain about this movie, was the way it ended. I really didn't expect the lights to switch on at that point. It kinda leaves you incomplete. But the rest of the movie makes up for it.

Lose your control, Kashyap. Be the rebel forever!

"I don't give 10/10 very often but today I've done it twice !

In order to get 10/10 a film has to draw me in emotionally and make me cry .

Spielberg's skill in film making and you can see this in Jaws and Close encounters is to focus on the family for that's where the drama is . The character building was excellent, although this wasn't a autobiopic of his life it's close as we'll get during his lifetime , perhaps the 20 years since his sister first pitched the idea made it possible to finally put it to celluloid ( or possibly digital video ) was the passing of his father at the incredible age of 103.

Seeing this on international holocaust Memorial Day made it even more poignant particularly when you see the anti Semitic bullying sam had to suffer .

The relationship between mother and son was key , the father played a pivotal role but there are two sides to this family - the artists and the scientists and scientists don't always see the elephant in the room .

The story was a coming of age for sam and his sisters as the father moved up the corporate ladder and the family had to up roots and move from state to state accompanied by their 'uncle' the friend of the family , trust was an important theme .

With all these moves you as an audience we're let into a secret that only the artists could see the scientists were hindered by their naivety and this the excellent story telling of Spielberg who's rarely made a mistake in his career from the beginning the excellent Duel to the highlight Schindlers List only 1941 stands out as mishap .

The story encompasses several moral dilemmas and once again this is great story telling its engaging and provides tension and remedy .

I hadn't expected to think so highly of the Fablemans and that's the best way to see a film with low expectations, I never give spoilers or tell the story that's job as the viewer - all I want to do is to let you know if a film is worth seeing .

This one is

Pad. A 10/10.",10
This was worse than the first one..just a bunch of garbage crammed into a 1hr 30 min movie. Why cant they just make a good movie. I hope Sony learns to put spiderman back with Venom.,5
"One should understand the hardships and dedication our nations real heroes do. This movie is one among such. I watched this movie twice in theatre as a tribute to our soldiers.Stories based on our soldiers should come often,they are dying on the borders just to give us a peaceful life. I personally encourage such movies more to come.",10
"Loved the finest one, this was a total waste of time. Never been so bored in my life before....cgi disaster....just dont watch it, ud rather mow the grass twice then watch this again.",2
"Predictable stuff from Hollywood - shallow and very disappointing. Spielberg doing a kids version of a spy story. Poor Tom Hanks goes to Berlin to save the world from communism, and rescues the youth of America. And all he gets is the sniffles. Violins on the bridge, before dawn, for goodness sake. Given the accolades, I was hoping for something more suited for an adult audience. Rylance is a good actor, but that doesn't make it a good film, just watchable when he is in the scene. And those poor kids of Hank's - subject to such hatred because big daddy stood up for justice and the American flag. It isn't even interesting from the historic recreation of New York - just a demonstration of how much money can be spent on a movie that really doesn't tell much of a story. There could have been more depth, and less devotion to period drama. And the script was pretty dire at many points - dialogue when no words were needed at all.",3
"I have been waiting to review this movie for a long time, since I saw it in a small art house way before all the hype of the academy and golden globes. This movie started out somewhat alright, but it messed up by the ending. They had an interesting encounter which showed a lot of how friendship is negotiated in the routine way of daily life. They should have cleared up the mystery of the outcome earlier than the very end, however, this comes at a point later than what I think was the real emotional center of the film. It also glorifies adultery, and extreme age difference, which totally whisks away any admiration for Bill Murray which I might have had in the past, for presenting himself as a reasonable object of a young woman's, almost girl's, interest.",3
"Generally one cannot expect this from Bollywood. After Dangal this will stay in my heart forever. Pak spy couple role was awesome, I somehow felt Yami Gautam role was unnecessary.",10
"This film is full of stereotypes, it is so obvious, the characters are flat, more than 2 Hours lost. He schould stick to making bad comedies...",4
"The Wolf of Wall Street left me profoundly disappointed, causing me to abandon the movie midway due to its excessive and gratuitous portrayal of drug use and its detachment from reality. Instead of delving into the intricate details of the financial world it aimed to depict, the film seemed more intent on glamorizing the wild excesses and debauchery of its characters. The constant barrage of drug-fueled scenes overshadowed any potential for a meaningful narrative and offered little insight into the genuine complexities of the financial industry. Rather than shedding light on the true story it was supposedly based on, the movie chose to sensationalize and revel in hedonism, making it an unsettling and unsatisfying viewing experience for anyone seeking a substantive exploration of its subject matter.",2
Mildly interesting plot. Could not move pass the in-your-face political agenda,1
"The worst movie I have seen for years, couldn't figure out what was going on. Boring boring boring. So aweful I just had to leave a review.",1
It's better than expected i thought the actress choices were wrong but in the end they nailed the roles of them i liked the world so far and it's just the beginning can't wait for second season,9
"HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 1 ( B ) Deadly Hallows is the darkest and longest potter movie till date. On one side it was nice to see every aspect was covered with minute details but on the other side it got little stretched and boring. This time again, it was more story and less magic. At one point I thought I'm watching Lord of the Rings rather than Harry potter as the last scenery seems just like it! The graphics used in telling the story of Three Deadly Hallows was truly fantastic, I was just lost in beauty of those graphics. Excellent Job! Daniel Redcliff, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint did a fantastic mature job as actors. Overall, deadly hallow was an almost a perfect part 1 towards the ending of our Beloved Harry Potter.",6
"What is the point of this movie? I think the idea may have been just to keep the 6 actors in job for a couple of months. Riddled with a idiotic childish comedy that just destroys the idea of it being funny. It tries to hard to be like Rush Hour thats for sure.

Do not waste your time, other than a few nice explosions and car drifts its not worth wasting your eyes on. Typical Michael Bay B-Grade film targeting 12 to 16 year olds.",2
"Out of all the Marvel movies, this is the one that I want to love the most, but I can't quite do it. There's so much going on that goes so well, that the fact that it doesn't land as well as it should and has a couple of large distractions undermines the affair enough to disappoint me, but not enough to take it from goodness.

The Avengers are causing collateral damage. They're doing good work, but they're also hurting people along the way. The governments of the world appreciate the fact that the world isn't being run by Loki, but they feel like a line needs to be drawn and the Avengers need to be reined in. Some Avengers agree, and others do not. This provides the political reason for the split within the Avengers, but the movie doesn't turn it personal early enough, in my opinion. An esoteric fight about the relative limits on Avengers power is a great place to start the conflict of the film, but it hangs on that for too long before it gives us the gut punch change that turns the conflict personal and what drives the final twenty minutes of the film.

The Winter Soldier is still on the loose after the events in The Winter Soldier, and it looks like he's bombed a UN complex in Vienna when the Sokovia Accords are being signed that will limit the Avengers' authority. This explosion also kills the King of Wakanda, who is there to sign the Accords. A chase ensues after Cap gets a heads up on where Bucky, the Winter Soldier, is, and he helps him escape temporarily until they end up captured and arrested. It is here that Zemo, the actual antagonist of the film, inserts himself, setting off an EMP that kills power in Berlin and gives the secret command codes to Bucky that turns him into the Winter Soldier. Cap gets Bucky away and finds out where Zemo is going next. In order to get to Siberia, Cap and Bucky need to get an aircraft.

It is at the airport that the big battle between the heroes breaks out. It's big, inventive, fun, and ultimately pretty pointless (the physical stakes in these movies have gotten laughably low), leading Cap Bucky to getting an airplane, chased by Iron Man and the Black Panther. In Siberia, two hours into the movie, we finally learn Zemo's plan and have the movie move from an political argument to a personal one. Zemo wants to tear apart the Avengers from the inside, knowing he's not physically strong enough to take them on, so he uses the truth that Bucky, as the Winter Soldier, killed Tony Stark's parents to splinter them completely. It's such a great and brutal fight between three people in an enclosed space.

Ultimately, as I said earlier, I wanted to love this movie. It's got strong themes of liberty versus regulation that echo through so much of what's going on. It eventually distills that beginning intellectual conflict into a personal one between two heroes we've grown attached to over the years. It looks really good and the action is better filmed than it was in The Winter Soldier. However, the big airport fight, while fun, is pretty pointless. We do get one injury, but that's it, keeping the stakes of these fights really low. There are too many characters that have their moments that don't feed into the larger narrative (Spider-Man being the most egregious example). And Zemo is underdeveloped. I love the idea of Zemo, but the execution is so relegated to the back end of the film that it ends up losing its impact.

I'd love to see this movie with a smaller cast that allows for greater focus on the central conflict between Stark and Rogers. I'd love for Zemo to have a strong narrative presence early, and I'd love for the information on Bucky's involvement with Tony's parent's death to come out earlier and define Tony's motives well before the final act. I can imagine scenes where people confront Tony with his opposition ' to Rogers's side because he's driven by revenge, and he needs to balance his ideals with his personal emotions before ultimately giving in to his emotional side.

Still, there's so much that's so good here. It has some of the same issues as Age of Ultron, but it does a better job of holding it all together. It also feels like it gets closer to something special, even if it still falls short. It coulda been great.",7
"I was so excited when I first saw the cast, but what a disappointment, I really don't get it why the reviews is so positive about this movie!",4
"This is without a doubt the most brilliant, creative, and stylish film I have ever seen. The coen's really out did themselves with this piece of work. It is by far they're greatest achievement as directors and writers. How this film did not win best picture of 1996 is beyond me, and it astonishes me that the Joel coen did not win best director for this. At least the academy recognized the great acting by Francis Mcdormand and the creative brilliance of the screenplay. William H. Macy also did a wonderful job although I believe they overlooked Steve Buscemi, who in my mind is the most underrated actor in Hollywood. But perhaps I am most impressed with the acting of Peter Stormare who portrayed an excellent cold-blooded character. Everything about this film is great. The acting, the locations, the story, and the accents. I give this film a 10/10 and its well-deserved. Thank you Coen brothers for adding a masterpiece to my collection.",10
"Almost all movies and shows will include some exposition scene, even those with complete mastery of the film or TV medium like Coen brothers and David Chase will occasionally include a scene that has no relevance other than to advance some aspect of the plot. However, half-way through Predestination you realise that the movie is just one big long exposition scene. And the vessel through which they convey this story is at best, poor, at worst, incredibly contrived: Woman walks into a bar and says to barman ""I have a really good story to tell you,"" barman says ""that's interesting, please tell."" From then on almost the entire plot is driven from narration. To quote Brian Cox in Adaptation, ""God help you if you use voice-over in your work, my friends. God help you. That's flaccid, sloppy writing."" And sadly this movie is a prime example.

The writers also got a little carried away with the plot-twists. They are 4 major plot twists, and by the fourth, they are really flogging a dead horse. And plot revelations become increasingly more banal and contrived. The writers also leave no room for interpretation or for the viewer to come to the conclusion themselves. This move is as subtle as a block-splitter.

Don't get me wrong, the story is inventive, and certainly brings a new twist to the clichéd and overused, ""man goes back in time to change the past and right some wrong"" storyline. However by the end of the film I didn't feel the audio-visual experience delivered anything extra than reading the script would have.",3
"After I learned about the attitude of J. Lawrence to Russia and to Russian people (my homeland), I have stopped to respect her Forever and since this day I don't want to watch any more movies with her participation, because I'm always keep in mind this peace of trash, named ""The film"" only by mistake.",1
"Somebody goofed!

In the scene where the airplane crashes, the house and barn are badly damaged, but the surrounding pasture looks a prestine green, without any torn up earth or bomb craters. Similarly, when Schofield runs across 'no-mans-land' in front of the trenches, bombs rain down, and create craters, but there are no old craters from previous attacks (?) Where he is running looks as well-manacured as NFL astroturf! Also, directly in front of these trenches, there are no coils of defensive barb wire (?)

The director could be forgiven for one blunder, but three are a bit too much to 'suspend my disbelief' !",1
"Wow this movie gave me a headache!! It wasn't bad it was just hard to deal with all of the characters talking over each other and yelling and swearing non stop.

Adam Sandler did a good job.",5
"First off, I feel I need to preface this by saying I am not some heartless jockish type who violently hates musicals or spectacular movies. I am a great lover of musicals because of their potential to strengthen the emotional beats of any story through the majesty of song. Moments like ""City of Stars"" in La La Land, which beautifully depicts Seb's resignation in falling for Mia. Or Les Miserables ""I dreamed a dreamed"" that could melt even the coldest heart due to the plight of the completely defeated Flautine. My all time favorite musical, Fiddler on the Roof, is jammed packed with these moments, right from the start and the incredibly delicate yet spectacular world building opening of ""TRADITION!"" These musical moments were God damn earned by their story's plots and that is what is surely missing from The Great Showman.

I honestly do not think it is possible to tell the back story of your protagonist as quickly as this movie does! It is a troubling trend nowadays to gloss over the set up of a films hero's life as quickly as possible just to get to the explosive dramatic action of the story, but telling us who and why we should care about a character is absolutely vital for the problems faced by that character to fully hit home. From the little I know about P.T Barnum he seemed to be this incredibly complex and interesting historical figure, so why not explore this in-depth? Do the film makers expect me to do my own deep dive into research into the man, inspired by their superficial exploration of him? I'm not out here looking to get homework after watching a movie, YOU DO THE HOMEWORK! And give me an authentic recollection of his life. It really is not hard and there will still be time for the musical numbers.

And this is not only true for Barnum but so so many characters in this movie. You know you are lying to yourself if you did not feel like you wanted to know more about Zendaya's character? Where in the universe did this this incredible trapezes brother-sister duo come from? Indeed all the performers in Barnums circus were such wasted opportunities to help drive the message of the film home. At the very least they could have homed in on one, the bearded lady perhaps? I know those among you who love this movie are going to say that that would have slowed the ""hip and happening"" spectacle of this movie down but for the love of God its not hard work to script in same pieces of dialogue (or I don't know even possibly A SONG perhaps?) That gave us a feel for who these damn people are. But no f-that right? Who cares who they were, I mean its pretty obvious the type of life a bearded lady had, right?

Now, you reading this may perceive me of being completely full of shit and some sort of film student, and you would be right! I am still very early on in my studies but the little I have learnt on crafting a story has taught me that every story needs to have an underlying meaning, a lesson the filmmaker wants to teach their audience and indeed themselves through a journey in the lives of characters. As my lecturer says to us, ""Tell the audience that two plus two equals eleven, then prove it to them!"" Writing stories that can inspire change in the world takes a ton of introspection, research, and diving deep into your own understanding and consciousness of a topic and then presenting your findings to the world and this is what annoys me the most with The Great Showman! If you were to take out the songs in this film it would honestly be the filmic equivalent of reading a Wikipedia page and that is such a shame because of the possibilities presented by the topic it was trying to explore. They could have explored race, the entertainment industry, exploitation, ambition, and presented us with an honest and educational finding on these universal issues, but instead they gave us a series of beautiful music videos.

I am not making my point well here, but if you want to have a look at what true artistry in storytelling can lead to, check out this ""Lessons from a screenplay"" video about ""UP"": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulm7bcB2xvY

But I am done complaining about this movie and I didn't mean to rain on all your parades but as a hopefully future filmmaker is worries me that such an artificial story-line can fly under the radar so easily by just adding heaps and heaps of spectacle. If you truly are a lover of films, you should demand with all you have that the men and woman who are charges to creating the scripts are forced to be as accountable as the incredible work done by cinematographers, sound designers, editors, colourists, visual effects artists, production and costume designers, music composers, and ofcourse the actors; all of whom completely and utterly killed the game in The Great Showman, it just a shame the writer put in such a shitty effort.

And go easy on the critics, they love movies just as much as you do...",4
"This film is one of the best films I have ever been, with the best actors ever cast; from Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton to ROBERT DE NIRO! Both megastars, Pacino and DeNiro do not out do each other, and play their roles really well, as their Oscar nominations reflect this, with DeNiro actually winning one! Deniro played young Vito Corleone, and the film showed how the Vito Corleone became so powerful, from a peasant in Sicily to a big-time Godfather! Deniro's part was a prequel to the original film. From my point of view, Rober De Niro wasn't trying to play as young Vito Corleone, but tried to play as young Marlon Brando (RIP). He played it so well, that the Deniro scenes were more enjoyable to watch than Pacino's scenes. The directing was great in this film, and how the camera angles taken, the lightening, and how well the movie flowed.

This film is probably the best film of the 19th century, with the best actors, the best directing and a great storyline. This is easily a MUST-SEE!!",10
"There is enough mystery and hanging questions that makes this story quite interesting. The beginning is a bit unclear on the characters as many are introduced and removed without ever getting a good look at them. As the show is progressing though, that is becoming less of an issue. I certainly want to see more.",8
It's been 24 hours since I watched the movie but 'hows the josh' still echoing in my ears so yes movie is not just full of entertainment but one of the few movies which lasts longs in the memories. Probably the best portrayal of real life superheros,10
"Ani is the worst character of any tv show. The acting is terrible. Her character is terrible. She is misplaced and unlikable. Along with terrible script writing and terrible story lines. Season three is so far fetched. It's awful. Should have ended with season one. Season three makes the bad guys into good, and makes you start to hate the good guys. What were they thinking??",1
"All we really know, is that Agent Coulson is alive. His first name is ""Phil"" - Not ""Agent"", as Tony Stark had surmised. He appears to think he recovered in Tahiti, but there is some immediate question of that. Shepherd Book... Sorry, I mean ""Dr. Streiten"" (Ron Glass who was Shepherd Book in Firefly) is hiding something about that.

We also have Cobie Smulders showing up as Agent Hill once again.

This show chronicles the formation and super-secret activities of a new branch of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division).- A group of Black Box operatives related to the Marvel Multiverse.

As a Whedon enterprise, it is very well done and ties into the Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and Hulk films of the last decade, so there is potential for those characters to show up in this franchise on occasion.

As a stand alone, it has some very interesting things happening. Not all is as it seems.

Of course there has to be a new villain, so they have concocted ""Centipede"" rather than the standard ""Hydra"" class of Nazis trying to re-create the 3rd or whatever Reich they want to impose.

This is a much more accessible story for this decade, and the Pilot episode relates to Iron Man 3.

I am hoping that Agents Coulson and Hill are not merely going to have casual roles ion this, and in fact Clark Gregg/Coulson is listed as one of the main characters- Hill is not, but I hope we will see her pop in more than just once.

No Rating at this time, I'll call it a 10/10.",10
"Man, this series is a must watch, It is a story of a young psychic girl and her exploration of who she really is, making friends for first times, discovering mysteries that will solve a riddle that who wants to kill her existing community. A definite roller-coaster experience while she investigates the mysteries and works into finding the reality. It keeps you engaged and excited to continue holding on to further episodes and I'm over-excited to give u a spoiler but I'm containing myself. The length of this series is quite sized so two sitting will be enough to complete the full length. So, hurry up, hope you enjoy this.....",8
This is nothing like the original and for that I am profoundly grateful. This has a new and wonderful spin.,8
"This show only seems intense. In fact, the show, with commercial breaks is only about 40 minutes long (give or take). That means, that Jack Bauer gets gets 20 minutes of sleep per episode. Over the course of 24 episodes, he gets 8 hours of sleep. Why he's so frantic is beyond me. (No I don't actually believe the character is getting 8 hours of sleep. But you know someone's gonna go, ""that's stupid"").

Anyway. I know all y'all love the show, and that's great. I just have to disagree with most of you. I don't think this show is interesting, well written, or well acted. Every line is a cliché and every actor is acting so hard all the time. It's the most ""acted"" show I've ever seen, and not in a good way. It's not that these folks are bad actors, it's that they're acting in a format that requires them to be charactures and archetypes rather than people. Ultimately it's a show built on a novelty, and it's presented in a way that would any kid with ADD say ""too much!"" I need to go watch Tony Scott's Domino to calm down.

Peace",1
I cant express my feelings about the show. No way that was written for children. So meaningfull and deep. For three seasons they were prepearing for a battle and learn so many things from zero to top. Their bond with each other and pure loving kindness are so nice to watch. It was very cleverly written.,10
"Remember the old days of movies, when they were rated R or X because of adult content? Well, after the year 2000, films should now be rated the same way, but with M - Millennial Content, as a red flag for adults. This rating system would accomplish two things; it would tell Millennials that here is another big hit for you, and would prevent adults from wasting their hard-earned money on films that are better left to comic books and animated films. This is one of those films; another in a long line of meaningless imitations of what the real 1930s Batman comics really intended; a dark, atmospheric city, where crime was around every corner, and where decent people had to struggle to get by. This film conveys very little of that atmosphere. Try again.",5
WandaVision is so inventive and I think Marvel Studios and Disney+ have been brave in making something so different. The homage it pays to American sit coms over the years including adverts and credits is so clever. As the series progresses we get more and more clues as to the mystery behind Wandavison and it broadens out into such a treat for fans of the marvel universe. Elizabth Olsen and Paul Bettany put in strong performances with a great supporting cast. Well worth a watch.,9
I saw this movie I was like yeah pretty cool but then I saw the end credit scene...lost my mind. Little disturbing movie tho. Who cares tho the end credit scene was great!,10
"(possibly considered minor spoilers)

A lot of people are comparing this movie to ""A Quiet Place"", the main thing they have in common is the characters can't use one of their senses to survive from a danger (vision in Bird Box as opposed sound in A Quiet Place); the overall plot and danger in the 2 movies starts out similar but the movies take different directions. It doesn't matter if Bird Box is based on a book that was written before A Quiet Place, this is a movie review site not a which script came first originally debate site. A Quiet Place beat Bird Box in terms of film release date so of course people are going to compare it to A Quiet Place. Regardless, when I watched Bird Box I was immediately reminded of M. Night Shyamalan's ""The Happening"", so I watched it right afterward. The two movies are extremely similar (without the not using vision aspect). Bird Box has better acting in my opinion, but in The Happening the ending is much more realistic and the movie as a whole is a lot more freaky. I disliked the ending in Bird Box, but I enjoyed the movie and I would recommend it, but definitely check out The Happening, I feel it did a better job overall of telling a similar story. Bird Box uses the ""character take a risky journey to a supposed safe haven"" trope that is used in so many zombie movies (28 days later). The movie is nothing new but it's worth checking out, I'm loving these Netflix original movies raising the bar on quality",5
"It has nothing to do with with game and books ... poorly made, like for 12-year-olds. Geralt is fake (a Legolas with a fake wig), the elves are black (yes there was not enough cultral diversity), the actors are poorly chosen. I think the whole budget went for the superman. The scenes are badly made you feel nothing you care about nobody and nothing. Everything is fake and does not make you transpose there in action. I am extremely disappointed.",2
"There is no plot. That's agreed by all. The film is ridiculously long and that's made to feel even longer by how slow it is.

If you cut out the 30 mins of screen time dedicate solely to Brad Pitt driving around LA, the 25 mins dedicated solely to Tarantino's creepy (not 'genius') dirty foot fetish, and the 15 mins dedicated solely to watching other people watch TV, you'd have a more palatable runtime and keep people interested.

Honestly don't know what Margot Robbie was in the film for. She... 1. Had a scene where she danced. 2. Had a scene where she walked. 3. Went to the cinema. 4. Got pregnant. Literally nothing more.

After 2 hours 30 it decided to be a gratuitously gory home-invasion movie that was totally unrelated to the previous 2 hours and 30 mins.

People say 'genius' when they talk about Tarantino but I don't see anything genius at all, this was definitely his worst film so far. His hard-on for women's feet is gross. It's not him being an 'auteur' it's him having a fetish and a big budget.

Absolutely boring, don't waste your time.",3
"A commercial stretched into a full-length feature film.

Barbieland, as an inversion of the real world with which it s mentally connected had a lot of potential. However, Barbie (both the doll and the film) is primarily a corporate product, and it's evident that the creators were not given freedom to explore the material in a more sophisticated way.

The film explores several social issues (feminism, patriarchy, sexism, ...) in a way that may seem too preachy, in-your-face or even off-putting. I'd say that these topics are intentionally depicted with a child-like mindset and it may take a while to wrap our adult heads around such approach.

Despite this, thanks to the vibrant cinematography, over-the-top social commentary, skillful direction, and great performances (Gosling as Ken rules), Barbie manages to entertain, albeit in a somewhat absurd way.

Nevertheless, I expected more from it.",7
To me this movie is the pride of Bollywood cinema. Made in 1998 this movie being bring a beautiful tragedy with stinky cinematography and stellar performances from the lead (and others as well). This movie is way ahead of its time. It really makes you feel things throughout the movie. It moves along like a poem where you she Khan's character going through stages of love. This is Khans beat performance to date. I don't even know where to begin with how amazing the stunning Manisha Koirala was. She was like a breath of fresh air visually and made you feel the pain people like her character go through. Mani Ratnam is one of the best directors. This movie was 100% worthy of an Oscar. The songs...I can listen to them anytime and get the feels. A.R Rehman...genius of course. Everyone should see this movie once!,10
"Disappointed that season 2 was rated PG13. and not MA--as it was in season 1. Bring back the adult Humour, violence and coarse language that we saw in season one and let cartoonists entertain the idealistic parents, and their 13 and under crowd",3
"Its more real/gritty but by no means too real world tone fit beyond perfectly with the political action thriller style to which the film aimed for. But don't go thinking that made it lose the campy awesomeness of the Avengers Universe. It was still a superhero movie! It was still bad-ass!

Speaking of bad-ass. The Winter Soldier himself is incredible. An interesting backstory, that Comic fans will already know. He wasn't quite unstoppable but was close to. But that 'not quite', is crucial because it made him feel real. And that realism made him feel even more dangerous. And The Captain, Wow! For all you saying he's pretty useless compared to the likes of Stark, Banner and Thor. NO LONGER! Oh my, there is so much ass kicking done with that shield. And more importantly so much relatable personality. Fury was amazing as always! Falcon was incredible and hilarious, a great new character! And Black Widow...give her, her own movie now!!! I will write it for you if you want Marvel! Just Please!

The final act was incredible, the acting was fantastic and there was some beautiful quieter scenes. The writing overall really knew exactly when and where to focus. There is a twist for the whole Avengers universe at the end, and a very intriguing mid Credits scene, that's all I'm saying.

Flaws? There was a few things in the plot that didn't make the greatest sense. But its very hard to notice this. There was a couple of points I felt giddy the camera work was so fast and energetic. That might be because Grand Budapest was the last film I saw, but some longer shots and less cuts would have been appreciated sometimes.

Overall, Captain America: The Winter Soldier knew exactly what it needed to be. And it executed that perfectly, creating one of the most entertaining films, I have ever seen. 9/10",9
"I have heard a lot of great reviews and it held my expectations and suppressed it even .. the Brits will never let you down , although the series is in HBO its actually clean and there is not any adult content and that proves my point that you do not need any pornography or offence slang to make it ( hence GOT ) .. the whole cast it top notch especially Jared Harris and Stelan who i think that they are going to win the best actor and supporting actor in the Emmy's and they should",9
"Entertaining & good movie 7/10.

Acting is good for the most part. Some scenes about joy seem to be a bit fake but suspension scenes have integrity. Overall quality of the movie is flawless with no immersion breakers.

Music OK, nothing spectacular. Some nice famous oldies there. There is one very short music theme from another movie near the end - Spy Game. But characters in Spy Game are deeper and emotions more real. I liked Spy Game more.

Argo is based on a true story but the plot lacked some depth. It's a story yeah, but actually it's a bit boring. Maybe it is the way the story is told. The suspension stuff is captivating, but the actual storytelling needs something more.

Movies are about entertainment and sure, the mysterious and always subjective truth is an interesting thing, but some extra spice would've been a nice addition to this film. It's like this movie needs some more intensive action or a message - a revelation to be shared with the audience.

Exciting and a good movie experience, but somehow hollow.",7
"In Atlanta, Dave Lockwood (Jason Bateman) is an efficient and dedicated lawyer that expects to be promoted to partner of the law firm where he has been working for ten years after a merging operation and a family man, married with the gorgeous Jamie Lockwood (Leslie Mann) and father of three children. His best friend is the aspirant actor Mitch Planko (Ryan Reynolds), who is single, reckless and unemployed, and a quitter that never concludes what he is doing.

One night, Dave and Mitch drink a lot and they go to a fountain to pee and they both simultaneously wish to have the life of the other. On the next morning, they wake up and discover that they had switched bodies. They return to the square and find that the fountain has moved to an unknown place. Therefore, Mitch needs to become responsible to save the job and the promotion of his friend, while Dave feels how complicated is for him to date with his sexy and gorgeous colleague Sabrina McArdle (Olivia Wilde). Sooner they learn more about themselves and also that the life of the other is not as good and they believe it could be.

""The Change-Up"" is an entertaining film with an overworked, but always funny storyline. I do not recall how many comedies I have seen with two persons switching bodies, but I always laugh a lot. ""The Change-up"" is no exception, especially with the hilarious Ryan Reynolds, Jason Bateman and Leslie Mann and the gorgeous Olivia Wilde, one of the most beautiful actresses that I have recently seen.

There are particularly two (gross) scenes that I repeated many times since I could not stop laughing: when Dave is cleaning his baby and trying to reach the diaper and when Mitch is in Dave's body and sees the half-naked Jamie going to the bathroom. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): ""Eu Queria Ter a Sua Vida"" (""I Wish I Had Your Life"")",7
"Southpaw is a decent movie with a reasonably well developed plot, albeit a top notch cast. The performances are Oscar worthy, Jake Gyllenhaal is completely engrossed in to this character from start to finish, he clearly underwent extensive training and deserves all the praise for his dedication. There is also a very touching relationship between Gyllenhaal and his daughter, a heartwarming a feature, and his scenes with Forest Whitaker are without a doubt the films highlight.

However, the reason no award praise was given is a result of how lackluster the story is. It's all very standard, there's no big moments that take your breath away or captivate because you have seen everything that is done here in other movies more effectively. It also tries too hard to be emotional, there is constant sad music playing throughout, it all feels very forced and thrown at the audience, there's no subtlety.

The performances are really too good for this film, although they do showcase how good acting can make a predictable, clichéd film more interesting. Albeit very flawed, I think Southpaw is worth the watch for the acting alone, particularly if you are a fan of Gyllenhaal, just do not go out of your way to see it.

After losing his wife and daughter, a boxer hires a trainer to get his life back on track.

Best Performance: Jake Gyllenhaal / Worst Performamce: 50 Cent",6

"My Hero Academia has callbacks to the classic Superman stories, The Avengers and of course One Punch Man.

"An American fantasy action film; A story about a superhuman soldier who is propelled into conflict with his Avengers teammate, Iron Man, over a system of government control over their actions. Collateral damage comes home to roost for the Avengers superhero adventurers. Some agree to being, others do not. It's an interesting, topical story direction and it's a more mature and substantive picture because of it. Compared to the previous films in the series, the fighting sequences have a little more purpose, showing the dynamics of their abilities, and while the set pieces go on too long, they are impressive. Tension reduces because it doesn't convince why the allies are opposing each other with lethal intent. What the producers gain in satisfying their growing and committed audience, viewers unaccustomed to the Marvel Universe films will feel it is overstuffed with characters. All in all, an exhilirating adventure.",7
I felt like I was watching a documentary in the discovery channel. Save your money and watch it on Netflix. Disney seems to have run out of ideas and they are just remaking everything,3
"Me and my wife really enjoyed the first episode - the car scene was really great and we were on the edge of our seats.

Hell, we also enjoyed the controversial third episode - but more as a stand alone one and we agreed that it didn't add much to the general plot.

After this we really lost interest and the show became very generic and filled with boring characters who die quickly, bad acting and massive plot armour to keep the two protagonists alive.

Joel is very dull and without any flavour and Ellie is extremely unlikeable and the constant swearing kept distracting me from the show.

Overall, a real shame !",2
"Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) and Dr. Watson (Jude Law) go head to head with the evil Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong) who has plans for world domination. A lady from Holmes' past named Irene Adler (Rachel McAdams) tries to help them--or is she?

OK--I have no problem with trying to reinvent Sherlock Holmes. I've read all the books multiple times and have seen all the movies and most of the TV shows. Trying to update him is not a bad idea BUT he should retain some of what made the character famous. Ritchie obviously doesn't agree and completely destroys the detective. For starters Downey Jr. (a wonderful actor) plays Holmes all wrong. He seems to be drugged out at all times and mumbles his lines in a half-hearted way. Where's the intensity Holmes is supposed to have when he's on a case? Downey shows none of that. His face never changes expression! Even worse is McAdams as Adler. She looks hideous and gives a worse performance than Downey! She is so annoying that, at one part, when she's about to be killed with Holmes trying to save her I felt like saying, ""Oh let her die!"" The plot itself makes little sense and is needlessly convoluted. Also the film looks grubby, poorly lit and just plain ugly! Perhaps this was an accurate portrayal of Victorian England but this is supposed to be escapism NOT a documentary!

On the plus side Law is great as Watson. He doesn't play him like a bumbling fool--he's young, intelligent and Holmes' equal. He also tells Holmes off in some great parts. Also Strong gives a very strong (sorry) performance as Blackwood. The man is tall and just oozes evil. Also there are multiple action sequences with Holmes and Watson battling the bad guys silly. Now turning Holmes and Watson into action heroes may seem dumb but these are the only parts of the film with any life! Director Ritchie is known for shooting fights and violence in a very convincing way and it works here. These set pieces look like they belong in a dumb summer blockbuster film but at least they add some much needed jolts of life to this movie. However I was looking at my watch a lot during the last hour and could have cared less what was happening. I almost walked out and I NEVER do that! This gets a 2 for the action and some good acting...but I was bored silly. Not recommended.",2
"BEST EMOTIONAL MOVIE FOR ME

Undoubtedly, Charlie is the frontrunner in making one watch the film. The story is simple and even predictable sometimes, but Charlie makes it beautiful with its lovely performance, especially in emotional scenes. Besides, Rakshit Shetty justifies his role.",9
"Farah Khan's Main Hoon Na has a lot of cons that outweigh the pros. Even Shah Rukh Khan's presence and charm was not enough to save it.

The movie had some positives that didn't make me want to close my screen. As mentioned, Shah Rukh Khan was doing what he does best. Suniel Shetty and Amrita Rao were also highlights for me. The music by Anu Malik was decent too, especially the self-titled and Tumse Milke which were my favourite songs from the soundtrack.

Now for the negatives, there were way too many for me to give it anything higher than a 3 star rating. The action and comedy were way too goofy for a film whose main conflict has to do with the relationship of India and Pakistan. I am fully aware that Farah Khan movies are meant to be somewhat satirical, but it felt like it was making a mockery out of it. Zayed Khan exaggerates his ass off in every single scene, and yet we see him way more than Sushmita Sen. Sadly, if you remove her out of the film, nothing in the plot changes at all. She really deserved a better role. Also, the cinematography by V. Manikandan was pretty bad, and the editing by Shirish Kunder was even worse.

Looking back at this film, I think they tried to target the younger audience, which it might have accomplished. People are saying this is a ""great feel-good movie."" Frankly, there are WAY better movies that can make your day than this one, some released years before this one even came out.",3
"This is another movie written by children. It is unbearable to watch. Not funny. Horrible acting. And of course politically dumb. Wow, Hollywood is dead. Has been. For years now. Go away or grow up and produce a movie with a real storyline, decent characters, a good script.

What else is there to say about another movie mirroring the themes of Idiocracy. Thank goodness for streaming and choice. Who rated this so high? Fake. So easy to fake reviews now. The so-called actors aren't even trying. A cast of clowns trying to make money with whatever is thrown at them. No thanks. We all decided to stop the movie as we could not take it anymore. Are they proud of this? LMAO LOL.",1
"Maybe i miss something but i wonder if there's a character you that represents a positive emotion or sympathy. All characters were parasites (and still you can't see a ""cow""! Well, if you think that Almodovar meets Stephen King in Korea that's ok. i want to know, if any one believes this is the best movie ever would he of she will watch the film for a second time? Well, me no! Better from the Old boy? No! Funny? No! So 4 stars only for gasp of classes.-",4
"Not to sure what I thought it would be like being a remake, and don't get me wrong the cgi is amazing but nothing different we haven't already seen, then I can understand why the cast every actor then Beyoncé comes on, I get she's a great singer but she's not the right fit at all, other then that I wouldn't recommend it or watch it again, super unnecessary. Stop trying to recycle great movies",3
"It was so disappointing.. Writing is terrible in this. It's like it's written by kids, although if it were written by kids it would probably be much better..

Writing is bad, toxic feminism is bad, cameos are OK, some things are cool, but not enough to redeem this train wreck of a movie. I sighed way too many times while watching this, when important things happened between certain characters I didn't feel a thing like the movie expected me to, I was just done.. Cgi is amazing in this, but it can only do so much. If the writing is terrible the whole movie is ruined IMO.

The characters strength gets dialed up and down for convenience and it's very frustrating in this movie as well.",2
"I watched this movie last Friday....that Friday was my last day in office. Unemployed and Disappointed, I switched on the TV and the movie was about to start...nothing to do, I watched the full movie. At the end, I was inspired from Milkha's story and struggles.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is the underdog story simply put. But Mehra and Akthar make it an outstanding film. Akthar gets into the skin on the legendary character and transforms himself. In many scenes, he looks, breathes and talks like Milkha Singh and at times, I felt that it was the real Milkha on screen. There is not any moment in the film where Akthar fakes his pain or struggle. Award winning stuff.

The movie at times is slow and uneven. It jumps from past to present and linking the scenes might end up confusing some. But these are minor hiccups.

The movie also has a spectacular supporting cast who deliver awesome performances starting with Divya Dutta as Milkha's sister, Pawan Malhotra and Yograj Singh as Milkha's coaches and Prakash Raj as his senior officer. The only disappointing bit is Dalip Tahil who plays Pandit Nehru. He plays Nehru as if Nehru was some American returned man.

Overall, just watch it for Farhan Akthar if you need just a reason.",8

"I am a fan of the books and games, so I kept my expectations low. Which is why I managed to enjoy most episodes.

But let's be honest, the casting isn't great. And I do not just mean compared to the source material. The main actors are simply mediocre at best. Combined with the contrived plot and the slow pace, the entire first season sinks in a mire of underdeveloped characters, vague motivations and shots of Geralt walking around like a lumberjack.",6
"This is the first time I've been compelled to write a review of a movie on IMDB. I was excited to go to this the day after Thanksgiving on the rare day off. When I say it was a real drag it's because the pacing was horrible absolutely boring at times you've been a somewhat strong finish couldn't help it, it was so predictable. A fine cast couldn't save it. Watch Murder on the Orient Express instead.",2
"So, I only purchased this series because Rotten Tomatoes guys gave it 94%. Now I wonder if I'll ever believe these guys' reviews again.

Not even the first few episodes were interesting. I found myself just going back to my phone and finding random things more interesting than this newly discovered show.

Secondly, Palmer's acting is so bad. She might be ok for some other roles but not this. She makes everything so boring and it's as if she's trying to portray Bella Swan.

The actress who plays Satu is actually good and she makes it the only reason why I somewhat enjoy this. Occassionally, maybe.",4
A potentially spectacular movie spoilt by incomprehensible diagolue from Bradley Cooper and Sam Elliot. Both actors mumble their lines rendering the film impossible to follow. A real shame. I wanted to love this film but was left admiring its technical camera work instead of being emotionally engaged. Disappointing.,5
"'12 Years a Slave' is just one of those films that tries too hard to make a point which could be made much more effectively with less effort. The only reason it's being rated so high is probably the fact that there hadn't been a film about slavery made in many years.

First of all, any film about slavery shouldn't be made to be enjoyed and '12 Years a Slave' at first does succeed in making a viewer uneasy. However, once the plot really unravels the film becomes plagued with feelings of self-importance, overacting and stereotyped and caricatured characters, and that's where it loses all the credibility it had to begin with. It's a decent film at best, but not one that should be remembered or highly praised, especially for acting. It was particularly painful to watch female slaves cry, because every single one of them (and I literally mean, every single one) portrays crying on a pre-school play level.

It is obvious that '12 Years a Slave' is aiming for awards and recognition, but it simply isn't enough to cover a serious topic to make a film worthy of high recognition. Although, I believe that it will achieve both (undeservingly so in my opinion), if for nothing more than because the Academy probably doesn't want another slavery film bashed like 'The Color Purple'. However, it is irrelevant whether it wins any awards or not, '12 Years a Slave' is destined to share the fate of 'The Color Purple' - it will be marked as important and then completely forgotten.

"This film is basically average.

NONE of the performances in this film are anything worth getting over exited about. Heath Ledger's performance was good. It wasn't amazing, it wasn't even great. Just like Ian Curtis his death did him the world of good. I'm not saying he wasn't a capable actor; I'm simply saying he wasn't anything special.

Have we reached an age where licking your lips and snuffling is regarded as 'a performance that should earn him every award known to man'?

He is only regarded as being so super good because he's dead - simple as that.

Watch Tim Burton's Batman, it's a better film.",5
"I admit: normally I only add a score when I watched it completely. But this was so bad, I switched it off after 40 minutes. Really, WTF. It's stupid, bad, and extremely childish. I can assume a 12 year old will like it though. It's not that I don't like movies with ""stranger"" themes, on the contrary. But what is this? Is it supposed to be a comedy? Slapstick? Children's adventures movie? It all looked very stupid and utterly brainless to me. The only time I think of I'll be able to watch it, is when I'm completely wasted and drunk. But as that happens like only once in a decade.... To be honest: it was sooo bad, that I'm furious it got so many Oscar's. I feel so sorry for the other nominees.",2
"Most of Mathew's movies I've seen and have enjoyed all of them - with the exception of this one. As I stated in my summary, it's a murky movie and I couldn't get into it. I never understood the bit about the Predator Drone. How did Cooper control it with his laptop? Did he make it crash? Who owned the thing? How was he able to extract the black box from the Drone and drive off with it. Why didn't someone come after it/ him? He even loaded the Drone onto the back of his old pickup and took it to school with him. Still - no one came after it or him. Why not? I dislike a movie I cannot understand because it makes me feel foolish - which I don't like - would you? The so-called Major League Baseball Game was also confusing. Was that supposed to be the New York Yankees in the field? Ridiculous - I was disgusted. So I quit watching the silly thing.",1
"A very boring film, too long and without any emotion, very bad.",3
"When are we all going to learn that a fantastic cast does not make up for a terrible script? I know I was guilty for falling into this trap once again- heck I thought this might even be an awards contender. But alas... it's an utterly empty film. The cast is indeed stellar, and every single member delivers a pretty great performance- I really liked Christian Bale here! Unfortunately... the acting is all that keeps this movie together. The plot is held together by strings, it's a very erratic story and unevenly paced. The film felt like it never actually got to where it was going, it just felt empty, like I was watching a big bowl of nothing! It is handsomely shot at least, but I didn't think it really worked at all. The cast is the only great thing about this movie! I've never been the biggest fan of David O. Russell's films (and I definitely don't like him as a person), and this definitely fits into the ""don't like"" category. Came off as very ""meh"" to me- I've forgotten it already.",6
"...but it is damn good in it own right! I havent read the books, but ut got the atmosphere and feeling from the game. I read somewhere that Henry Cavill is a big fan of the books and game, and it shows. They must start shooting season 2 right now damit""",5
An amazing portrayal of the classic..... The creators have given immense justice to the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.Fell in love with science of deduction.Also can learn more about human psychology.,9
"There are some movies which are bad, some are good, some very good and others excellent. Then comes movies which are par excellence which can be viewed over and over again. Each time they are able to grab your attention to even the minutest details of dialogues, characters, plot, background score and what not. Its as if you can never get enough of it!!

Its 'Gangs of Wasseypur' for you my dear friends. Its raw, natural, moving, energetic and above all horripilating!

If you would like me to give only one solid reason to watch the movie then I would say watch it for the brilliant acting of its cast! Just try not to take the movie too critically because of the violence shown rather enjoy the whole experience and I assure that it'll leave you with a mesmerizing experience!",10
"Not for me. I didn't like the ""boss fighting"". Expecting something more spectacular and consistent. Sokka, Iroh and Zuko made the series worth watching. Of course, all the character developments were worth watching and how everyone and everything is connected. The drawings were nice, but the story was great but needed a better presentation, too childish and boring at many points to the edge of annoyance. In my opinion, this is not a first place Imdb rating tv series, I can name at least 3,that I recently saw and deserve higher ratings than this, but that's me.",8
"This is a really uneccessary sequel. It's the same old cheesy story of ""Good nature people living in paradise under attack from evil sadistic colonialists"". There's nothing new, nothing surprising, the movie is predictable from beginning to end. If you know the first one, you know this one too. The biggest problem is that the simple story is stretched to 3 hours! I felt bored a lot and was glad when the movie was finally over.

A lot of the reviews here argue ""Well, the story is boring but the visuals made up for it"". To be honest, I wasn't blown away by the visuals either. Most of the movie looks computer animated, like a video game. Nice yeah, but it really doesn't look like there's a 13 years difference to the first Avatar. It's not as stunning as back then.

I definitely won't watch a third Avatar. To me, the first Avatar was stunning for the time back then, but the second one was an uneccessary sequel to print some money.

I can't believe it has an IMBD rating of 7.8.

When you look at the written reviews, the average rating is definitely lower, closer to 5 to 6.",3
"Let's start with the positives which are the environments, sound design, props and the overall gritty feeling of war in the picture. Many are also praising the cinematogrophy however I don't actually like the 'one take' style since it creates such weird inconsistencies in time.

In normal moviemaking when you transition between shots, there is the opportunity to let some time pass between the shots and the viewer is aware of this. But when I watch this 'one take' style and time passes on the other side of a wall for example, I just got confused and really thought it would be better of just throwing in cuts in some places. You could still use long immersive takes without making the whole movie 'one take' for a meme or something.

Regarding story and characters, this movie is just not good. The story is very simple and quite frankly, ridiculous. The characters appear very briefly and is never seen again except for the protagonists which struggle during the whole movie with walking, occationally running and lots of panting.

If there would have been an interesting story with perhaps more character developments, this could have been a great movie. In reality if you have seen the trailer you pretty much have seen the movie. There is zero rewatchability. I don't understand the high rating this movie has gotten.",5
"I'd give Season 1 an eight or even a nine, purely for Millie Bobby Brown's great performance, but S2 was a HUGE frustration. I made the effort and watch it all and I am not happy about it.

They failed - from every angle. I see people say the story had holes - no, it was a complete joke - one huge hole.

Most actors were even unbearable to look at, but I don't want to go in detail, since most of them are just children. I don't want to offend children - not their fault. The series creators did a very bad job even with Millie Bobby Brown this time. In their attempt to make her look overly cool and bad ass, because they did it in so cheap cheap cheap way, they actually made her look stupid. It's such a waste of a great talent. Oh, and what's with the ""sister""? Was this girl even an actor?

Was S1 just a lucky strike? How can the same people create one good ""movie"" and one complete crap?

And now, how is it that most reviews of these series rate them with less than 5 and yet it scored total of 9? wow.. some IMDb calculator here..",2
"Really love this show!

One of the best TV shows to come out in recent years.

Waiting for season 3!",9
"Chris Hemsworth has proved he's now one of the best leads in Hollywood, we know he's fantastic as Thor from the Marvel universe but here he's taken on the type of brutal, gritty fast paced action hero lead role that Jason Statham or Liam Neeson might've done!!! Hemsworth is excellent here & gives a fantastic tough as hell performance as troubled mercenary Tyler Rake & he's one extremely deadly & well trained Black market mercenary with a nothing to lose attitude & a fearless warrior instinct, a great character. Tyler has been hired to find & rescued a kidnapped boy who is held for ransom but the kid is the son of a crime lord. This is set in the dangerous & violent underworld city of Bangladesh & the action is bone crunching, frantic, gritty & full of realism. The town is locked down & full of gangs out hunting for Tyler & the boy (a good performance by Rudhrakish Jaiswal) & these two are ferociously hunted by not just the criminals of the ghettos but also by a deadly Assassin played by Randeep Hooda, a fantastic performance & one hell of a great character who is just as good as Chris Hemsworth here!!!

I loved the scary & dangerous atmosphere & the frantic explosive action that bursts out of nowhere & makes everything feel on edge & intense. An exciting survival Thriller that feels real & intense as hell. A wild thrilling ride with great performances & gory blood soaked action.",7
I dont get the negative reviews. It is a continuation of a series from where the movie left off. Its not 8-10 episodes long with over 50 mins each. Its a interesting start to a well drafted storyline with some very good performances by all. Would definitely reccomend to watch it over a lot of other continuation series of the MCU!,8
"Well, one of the popcorn-movies i have ever watched it therefore not going to write down an essay about it, if you want to kill some time this movie is definitely for you and don't expect huge things from this movie, just watch and pass to another movie.",6
"Not memorable but definitely well filmed! Joel Edgerton is so badass and handsome! Cool spy flick, very weird and unusual for the director. The story felt whacky I enjoyed it a fair bit though, I guess. I mean, nothing special and it could've been shorter. I do really like the action is off the charts in epicness and the cinematography is outstanding, I have mixed feelings it's definitely worthy of at least 7.5 that's about it.",7
"Extremely disappointing..... too high hopes for what it actually triggered. Sure, I can see the fun in a kid getting adult with super powers, but that is where the fun stops.",3
It's just amazing movie 😍😘😍 Hats off to our INDIAN DEFENCE the Josh while I was going to watch the movie was extremely tremendously increased after coming out the theater music is superb and all actors we're Brilliant !!! We seriously need such kind of content movies which motivate us as an individual we don't need the ilogical movies which doesn't make any sense and does not motivate the society with positive message I really thanks the grt director Mr Aditya Dhar for giving us the cult classic nd masterpiece 😍😘😍😍!!! Jai Hind !!!,10
First of all... it's a mega series. Top actors and really nice stories with a touch of x-men. I really like the evolution within the episodes of a season and cross season.,9
More inane drivel for rabid Sandler fans to lap up from the toilet bowl it was spawned in.,3
It was so silly . I don't know how i lost a day for watching this .,1
What an absolute let down. I really didn't see the point of the film... was just awful! It really lacked character and was poor acting really. Visually it was fantastic but the plot was crap! I hope they up their game for the next one.,2
This show seems like it was intended to target children as it's primary audience. If this is the case then perhaps it could be considered a good show. There's too much of a Mary Poppins vibe.,2
The series a Discovery of Witches is very beautiful and exciting,10
Why look so deep into a series that is way above many others I can mention. This is why the world is like it is. Every single person on the planet is wired differently. If you don't like it just turn over. It's kind of like intellectual trolling. We all think we know best. Everything we watch is flawed though perfect for others. I am though being a total hypocrite because I don't always leave a glowing review or just turn over. But that is based on the fact that I am always right and everyone else is wrong. In an age where there are so many channels and there aren't enough hours in a lifetime to watch it all (some statistician will duly prove me wrong) this is just an enjoyable Sci Fi romp (is that the wrong word!) that is well written and the robot CGI designers should be very proud of their creations. I love this and I'd gladly wear a badge to say so (well maybe not - but you know what I mean) Its not going to be everyone's cup of tea so if not have a coffee instead.,9
"Wading through zombie-style post-apocalyptic movies to get here, this movie starts out fairly fresh and draws you in by the premise, initial pacing, and John Malkovich.

But to me it feels like a bit too simplistic premise the screenplay writers took and then just brainstormed away on and put together without any kind of pruning of ideas or critical thinking.

This movie had a good cast and high production values, everybody involved (except the screenwriters..) clearly knew what they were doing. Why couldn't they have put a bit more (or a lot more...) thought into the plot, and maybe this could have become a movie you didn't want your 2 hours back after watching..

You quickly become accustomed to the ""horror"" in the movie and drawing it out for 2 hours is far too long without a more involving plot. Also Sandra Bullock hits a one-note performance, though I'm pretty sure this is not her fault.

Others have complained about underdeveloped characters - while I agree with this, you don't really expect more from a movie in this genre and it's not the main problem with the movie by far.

If you didn't like this movie or want to avoid wasting your time, I recommend Tremors (1990) instead for a lesson in how to develop characters that do not act like complete idiots, be creepy and lighthearted at the same time, have a (relatively) self-contained plot and of course features Kevin Bacon.",5
"I was very curious to see Christopher Nolan's latest movie Interstellar even though I'm not a sci-fi fan - but I'm a fan of Mr. Nolan-, plus both public and critiques made very positive comments about it. The story is set in a world devastated by drought and famine that will lead humanity to extinction unless a group of NASA scientists and explorers find another planet where life is possible. Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) is chosen to be the pilot of the Endurance that will leave for a journey through space. Cooper is put in front of a choice: staying with his children on Earth or following Amelia Brand (Anne Hathaway) and her crew to possibly save the world. The movie is beautifully conducted by director Nolan. Cinematography and sound work perfectly together and give a sense of total immersion in this breathtaking travel. The alternation of moments of music composed by Hans Zimmer, sounds and complete silence accompany the events and the steps of the journey and, at the same time, contribute to create feelings of anxiety, astonishment and isolation. Isolation is always present in the movie: the explorers are alone in space, they are small compared to the immensity of the universe while people on Earth are condemned to death - they feel like they have been left alone. Cooper's house itself is isolated: we don't feel presence of others except for the main characters - humanity that needs to be saved is an entity whose pain and curse we don't perceive. The film is focused on individual stories: a father who decides to leave his children to follow the aspiration that was denied to him in the past, even though the goal is universal: saving human race. Time is the undeniable protagonist and villain: Cooper, Murphy and Amelia have to find a solution before it is too late. Shifting of time The cast does a wonderful job - especially Academy Award winner Matthew Mccauneghy, although of course it can't be compared to the performance that got him the Academy Award. Overall I liked this film even though I'm afraid that in the end, screenwriters Nolan pushed their creativity way too far and weren't able to find (in 169 minutes) a better solution that would more realistically lead the film to an happy end. It is so strained that makes the film lose all its atmosphere. The problem with this kind of movies - Gravity does the same mistake, in my opinion - is that it is hard to conciliate powerful visuals with a beautiful story. I admit that it does get emotional at times and it is not always predictable but It seems like the storyline is sacrificed into clichés in order for technical aspects to be at their best. Visual should support the story and not vice versa. It is a stunning movie, but yet not the best from Nolan, who is now considered a legend for his capability of creating other dimensions and for this reason it is easy to have too high expectations for his works that not always will be satisfied.",7
"13 reasons why is the one of the best thing in my life.this is highly appreciated tv show i have ever seen.just loved the whole season 1 but season 2 was just an average.i loved the whole story,oh man i just in love with it.clay jensen,tony,hannah,jessica,alex,tyler,justin foley is so awesome and kevin porter all these guy's acting was so outstanding i mean i am just obsessed with it.it is so awesome it is totally related to all the kids who are in high schools or in universities.this serial has showed so much to the parents,children and have taugth so much of the things.season 1 was so an incredible thing that i ever have in my life.this drama's character are so good man just damn good i'm just in love it i loved the acting of all these guys is so mind blowing . so lets talk about season 2, season 2 was quiet fine,good trials but not a real one as it should be,i mean in court you're still lying man,now come on.i'm just in still shocked what the they did to the tyler oh damn it.season tow was supposed to be more good i''m it is good but end was not a satisfied they went on probation and what about jessica's statement that she made huh? this was little messed up in the last 3 episodes although it was quiet good to watch and i loved it really last episode of season 2,tyler got some serious shit but end was also not thriller i mean,you can little shit it was.but i liked it though,can't wait for the season 3 and i totally loved it season 1 and season 2 are really good to be watch

"This comedy falls short of a true classic, despite good acting performances. The cast made a valiant effort but couldn't save the film from the writer and director. (Perhaps writers are being paid too much.)

I think Superbad could be improved by judicious editing. William Kerr owes us thirty minutes that we'll never get back. Of course, what's funny to an adolescent isn't that much of a crack up to an adult. So you should see the film and decide for yourself.

It would be fun and interesting to see how this movie might turn out by giving it to a group of film students to re-edit.",5
"I honestly just don't know what to say. Its all started in some coffee shop in the United Kingdom, and its going to end on the electronic billboards of Trafalger Square and big screens all over the world. Harry Potter has been with us as we grew up and now its going to end. Its kind of hard to believe. Whenever a new movie came out, everyone was pleased and excited to see the next one. 'There will always be a next one'. Nope. The reason we will all feel different in the cinema on July 15, is because this is the last one. I'm going to be honest, I have not known about Harry Potter as long as some other people have, but I know how they feel.

In my opinion (and most others' around the world) J.K. Rowling is a complete genius. I couldn't have come up with an idea like that even if i was given ten years. ""The idea simply just fell into my head"" she says. Well, that's kind of rare for a lot of people trying to come up with a good story. Because of that idea, she wrote seven books, became famous worldwide, and eventually became richer than the queen of England. Now that, is what I call a success.

These books always made me feel different no matter what mood I was in. Whenever I read the books, It made me feel all wondrous and awestruck. if I was in one mood or the other, the magical tale of Harry Potter always made me feel different.

The movies made me feel even better. What annoys me rather a lot, is how people say they are true Harry Potter fans, just because they have seen all of the movies. The movies make you look at the series differently than the books do, i'm afraid. Yes, Warner Bros. Has done very well transforming J.K. Rowling's amazing tale into motion pictures, but nothing beats the good old Harry Potter Book. If you ask me, you enjoy the movie a lot more if you have read the book. Seriously, depending on how the movie makers did it out as a motion picture according to the book, it may just ruin your day, or make your day. Maybe both!

Yes, the movies are amazing, but there is no doubt about this: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 was the most amazing movie I have ever seen based on harry Potter. Warner Bros. should be proud of themselves. They really did it this time. Better than any other of the 6 movies. Soon to be 7.

A part of me wants the last movie to release tomorrow. A part of me wants it never to come.

When I sat in the theater, watching the Deathly Hallows Part 1, and I saw that Warner Bros. logo striding towards me, hearing the theme music playing, I really knew that that was the beginning of the end.

I have heard rumors that Rowling is planning on making an eighth book, but that wont matter to me. don't get me wrong, I will still read it, and I'll probably like it, but the truth is, J.K. Rowling was done her job as an author, and has brought happiness to readers all over the world. Her duty, is done.

An awesome, epic series like Harry Potter will last a long time, but unfortunately, everything every good series eventually comes to an end. We hope the world keeps this amazing tale alive, and we hope you always will be with us, in the magical world, of Harry Potter.",10
"I think I switched onto Kiddies tv ! It started off in the early 1980s, and I was fully expecting it to fast forward to the present day once the initial storyline got underway. WRONG !

It carried on being kids on bikes, and I gave up after lots of fast forwarding in the middle of season 1. Much too juvenile, and can only believe that those who are raving about it on here are under 30.

Also being a Brit, and after years of watching American films, I am firmly of the opinion that police deputies in the various US States are all a sandwich short of a picnic ! If this isn't true then blame the film makers, because this film is a prime example of how idiotically simple of mind deputies are always portrayed !",1
Just going by the title A Most Violent Year and the fact that it is a mob related movie you would think there's going to be a lot of violence in it. But there is actually not that much of violent scenes. Just enough to make the movie interesting. The story is more about a guy (played by Oscar Isaac) trying to make it in the oil distributing business without doing too much of illegal stuff. It becomes clear that it is not that easy with his truckers being robbed by the concurrence. The story is very easy and pleasing to watch with good actors and nice filming. It's an entertaining crime drama and it was better then I thought it would be. For once it deserves his high ratings on here.,8
"This movie is an intelligence test. I saw many comments how people're describing the movie attacks men. It actually doesn't. I am a man, maybe even a stereotypical one - I loved Sigma Ken part, it was hilarious. I have a degree in Economics and love to work out in the gym, watching action movies, dark jokes, drink not cheap beers...

I believe the movie told a full of heart story how both sides (men and women) should team work more! The story perfectly told in a satirical way explains in what areas we all struggle. I won't go deep dive in because my short review doesn't contain any spoilers but trust me, the movie tries to be supportive and share a thoughtful and warm message in a fun way. It isn't woke, it doesn't treat the audience like a dumbass, it doesn't tokenise anybody, it doesn't force anything. It represents people lost in the world, trying to find their place and I think it says: Chill out.

Don't be mad. Go there with open heart and mind and have fun because I did. Ryan Gosling was fantastic.",8
"If you have to potray a certain city, atleast film it there, people aren't that dumb. The cast and producers were careless if not capricious. You think filming at kolkata with excessive yellow filtering will magically morph it into Dhaka? Do your research before making a million dollar budget movie, we don't have that bangali accent either ,people from Kolkata do. I lost it within a few minutes of watching it, i guess that the review it deserves.",1
"I am telling you pass on it.

It is disgusting and I mean in the sexual perverted way.

Not only that...very, very boring.

Just don't do it. I just saved hours of your life.

Thank me later.",1
"This film is a brain dead comedy with a plot line that has been done to death and has apparently been dug up and slapped on a film reel. The acting and overall presentation was shocking, it takes a few moments after the film to really consider if the film you just saw was made by professionals. A friend of mine told me that I didn't go into the film with an open mind well I would just like to say that the problem was that I had a mind.

I actually would recommend this film just to set a bar for what makes a bad film.

p.s. I rated it a three because there were some funny moments but only about 3...",3
"From a technical standpoint The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is watchable in the same way slick, big budget Hollywood blockbusters have been for some time. It's largely formulaic but acceptably so. Unfortunately the entertainment is often interrupted and corrupted by propaganda supporting critical race theory and an open and constantly stated hatred of Caucasians.

There are many race baiting scenes, completely unnecessary to the overarching plot and ironically at odds with the show's own themes. Were the racial commentary to be excised the show would be stronger, but watching it many will come to the conclusion that Disney places more value on the radical left propaganda than anything else.

Consequently you're given characters that aren't allowed to be defined as individuals; everything must be viewed in the context of race. When the original Captain America is referenced it's always about his blonde hair, blue eyes and pale skin. That takes precedence over the content of his character. Fans of the original comics will be disappointed.",2
"Where to start? My main problem with the film was there being NO Sherlock Holmes or Watson characters, and NO mystery plot. Seemed more like some strange action/fantasy hybrid.

I have a feeling we'll find out where there going with this in the sequel. Perhaps Jude Law is actually playing Sherlock Holmes? I think Robert Downey may be covering for him, as Jude seemed to be the one more likely to be the Sherlock type.

Other than the lack of plot and characters, I had a major problem with the ridiculous action scenes. I guess I should have been ready for them from seeing the trailers/commercials but there's more ridiculous action than I could tolerate. Especially for a film labeled as a Sherlock Holmes film.

1/10. Can't recommend it for any reason.",6
"Just like most typical Hollywood remakes, cliche. cliche, cliche. Too many plot holes, kill the music please, bad scripts that amplify the bad acting. This is not an issue with casting at all, really don't care about that. Only able to watch 4 episodes,",4
Give me a break! That should be a film which deserves 4 Oscar's? Heavy handed directing and foreseeable script! Sorry don't get the hype! Only good thing: the film makes you uncomfortable!,5
"So much conflict, slight visual effects with minimal in dialogue and fancy characterisation. Resolution good in slight complication. The movie is good action but doen't have sound action appealing and heart pounder, it give hint not hilarious. It deserves my six star with it mere action entertainment, characterisation with Chris hemsworth, and directing by Sam Hargrave as a debut movie. Applause welcoming to the entrance director.",6
Cavill needs more screen-time. Too much side stories of which some are vomit-inducing. Not enough monster-hunting.,5
"Couldn't bare to watch episodes 4,5,6,7, so skipped to the finale, to finish with another hour of soulless self satisfied Quantum mumbo-jumbo. I truly hope some day, a Quantum AI Bot will remove this dreary excuse for entertainment from existence.",1
"I enjoyed this the first time I saw it. But then again I was only an easily impressionable 14-year-old, craving for new emotion. Recently, more than 10 years later, I revisited it, and barely managed to finish it. Bluntly, it's as plain and trite as it gets. In fact, I believe Frank deliberately wanted it that way, so that it would increase its appeal to the casual movie goers. In general, I have no problem with a simple, feel-good movie that does not take itself too seriously and is not looking to change its audience in a profound way. However, this does and it seems it is succeeding unfortunately....

We have a story about hope and its redemptive qualities, portrayed by an innocent man that is sent to prison(Tim's character). It's told through the eyes of his closest prison friend(Morgan's character). The narrative framing and flow are rigid, there is no rhythm, no ebb and flow, no metaphors, no irony, just constant relentless narration - extreme simplicity. It's stripped to the point that you can only remember the generic message. Dangerous stuff. Some people carry it around and ""apply"" it diligently. The others only observe the snowball effect.

I hope there are more intelligent endeavors out there. I hope everyone sees them and appreciates them. I hope...

1/5 - Skip this, if you are over 15. There is no art here - almost no contribution to the art of filmmaking and storytelling.",2
"At first, I was really excited about this show, with Sam and Bucky on a mission. But after the first episode, I lost interest quickly. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier just didn't keep me hooked like WandaVision did. Not to mention that the fight scenes are even a bore. This is my least favorite entry in the MCU.",6
"Bollywood is lost into entertainment, but that is what Bollywood needs now days desperately, movies based on story and reality.

Movie is based on story of real Indian culture of mafia and the way the characters represented them was marvelous.

After long time i watched any Bollywood movie, was actually bored from the recent entertainment story-less movies with big cast only with purpose of business.

was missing quality story Bollywood cultural movies like old times. This movie should be consider at least as the participant in category of best foreign picture in Oscar.",10
"This is without a doubt a movie made for children. It is very reminiscent of movies I loved in my childhood but with slightly less logic. The acting is terrible? If it's made for kids it wouldn't be so I guess not. The action is uninspired and illegible most of the time but kids have a great imagination. If your child loves action and superheroes and that stuff, this movie is a no-brainer for them to watch. If you're an adult, hopefully you've had a long enough day working to not question anything that happens and enjoy ride the movie tells you you're going on. Verbal exposition dumps happen constantly to maintain it's accelerated pace but I don't think the audience will care that much anyway. If you're looking for character, forget it. If you're looking for an interesting plot, close your eyes. This film is for when your bowl is full of popcorn and your couch full of friends all doing something else at the same time.

It has a paper thin plot with paper thin motivations. The pacing has no breaks. Everything is just blasting ahead, unable to wait to get the movie to the next scene. It's almost like the movie doesn't want itself to exist. I can't give it less than a 3 because it's not long enough to really feel like it took your time and I can really see myself enjoying this as a kid.

I would recommend for children.",3
"We really enjoyed this. You have to KNOW going in that this is going to be a fun, nonsensical, over the top action filled sleigh ride. Like True Lies in 1990. It's larger than life, insane, with long winded action sequences that are hilariously fun and filled with gore. This is not the English Patient, or Saving Private Ryan or the Remains of the Day....nor is it trying to be. It's meant for a 'I've had a hard week at the office and just want a violent fun filled ride'. And it delivers exactly that. If you want deep and meaningful... this is not for you. If you want action eye candy, it's still better than fast and furious. So when you're in the mood for some raucous fun, this will definitely hit the spot. If you want emotionality or meaning, look elsewhere, this is simply a joyride at the carnival and great fun for the ride. Tonight, this was exactly what we needed.",7
"Poor fight choreography, heavy-handed symbolism, self-congratulatory philosophizing. Plot holes. Recurring ""fear"" theme expressed primarily through loud noises. Exceptionally predictable to the point of tedium. Film attempts to tie itself together clumsily through the excessive use of mini-flashbacks: for example, when batman experiences fear as an adult, the director feels that it is necessary to show you five times it's the same fear he had as a child.

Good car chases, decent setting, plentiful ninjas, Scarecrow villain executed well. Freeman and Caine steal every scene they're in.

Not a terrible film, and certainly an improvement from previous Batman films, but if I'd had a quarter for every time I involuntarily rolled my eyes I'd have recovered the price of admission. Not much present to set it apart from other similar movies. That said, while there's nothing groundbreaking here there are periods of good fun, but all in all I would say it makes a pretty run-of-the-mill superhero save-the-city flick.",5
"I was not impressed at all by this movie. It was presented as being comic and full of bizarre fighting action. I guess you have to be a real fan of this genre to enjoy this movie. I bored myself to death in the cinema. The humor is very childish, the characters are blunt and irritating. The plot and/or story are of no relevance at all. It's all about the fighting moves. I cannot say if the're good or not because I don't often go to this kind of movie and after watching this one, I'll doubt if I'm going again. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of the Jackie Chan movies. The fighting scenes are much more comic and Jacky has a well-ordened, well-meanured character",4
"Well thought through chaotic plot, perfect combination of comedy and crime thriller.",10
"I watched this movie due to the 2024 Oscar nominations wondering why it was up for a number of awards, was it hype?

No , it is a truly masterful movie with great characters, a well written script and superb performances by the cast.

We see a sparsely published writer who is employed as a teacher totally at odds with the way society reads about and writers write about black people and their stories.

Multiple run ins with students and faculty members makes him more determined to try to break the circle of tropes and stereotypes, exploited by movie executives and publishing houses.

What we see next is his journey , his family, his loves , frustrations.

A well deserved Oscar nomination.

Watch, I'm sure you will agree.",7
"So this is the first-ever series I have watched and I love the first season. Because of the love, I have towards the first season, I was curious about what was packed in the rest of the Seasons in this series and I was so excited to watch it but turns out to be a major disappointment. The makers should have just ended it in 2 seasons. Found the rest of the season boring or could have made it interesting but it was a letdown...unnecessarily stretched .so if any of you have plans to watch this series ""13 reasons why"" I suggest the viewers watch the first season and the second season only even though in my opinion the second season is not as good as the first season but it did somewhat okay but could have done better by not stretching it too much on last few episodes.",6
"So, aside of having a pleasure to watch exceptional Kate Winslet, the story itself left me confused too many times. There is just too many of everything: each character's individual drama, the main plot, the sub plot, the oh so many side characters that don't really add up to story. And it feels like they had to put every known genre trope they could think of. Seriously, only Mare's character is what keeps you watching and ultimately makes you forgive all these flaws.",7
"The movie is entertaining; I enjoyed the tale and didn't notice the passage of time; I particularly enjoyed Woody Harrelson's casting. He did a terrific job playing the villain, but the writing didn't help him. Except for Naomie Harris's acting, which was unconvincing and a little cheesy, and the shot after the concluding song, I don't have many points. The film is entertaining and deserving of your time.

"I finished the first season in 2 days and I curiously waited for months to see the second season, but I saw from the first episode that it turned into disappointment, and the progressive episodes were also the same. I wished it stayed as an only season.",8
"This show is funny and warm with great acting, fabulous characters, and an absorbing mystery storyline. I expected all that, but really didn't expect the tenderness among the characters and the depth of the characters. These are just superficial characters with slapstick jokes. Sure, it's funny, but it's heartwarming and heartwrenching at times too. Grade A entertainment.",10
That shows when all the female characters were lobotomized right before the action starts on the main series.,2
"Rian Johnson, master of making a film look and sound intelligent, until you take a step back and realize how poorly written the whole piece truly is. Once again I leave a Rian Johnson film trying to figure out why anyone thinks his film is entertaining? Revisiting the film, the verdict is still a firm 'No'. The film has all the elements of a classic whodunnit story, but ends up being underwhelming and brainless.

The biggest problem is within Act 1, we're told what happened. The main mystery is solved, and the film transforms from a ""Whodunnit"" into a ""How They'll Get Away With It"". However, being a Rian Johnson flick there is no way he would not try to ""subvert expectations"". Once you realize this, the outcome is very predictable. This happening less than halfway hurts ""Knives Out"" and takes you almost completely out of the film, which is something Rian is guilty of in his previous film. Figuring out the ""murderer"" is as easy as paying attention to something as simple as character screen presence, on-screen time, downgrades the mystery element of the film. Other successful comic-style whodunnits which featured a large cast of big name performers, had all the suspects together with the investigator for the majority of the film. This is not the case with ""Knives Out"". Well over half of the suspects in ""Knives Out"" can be dismissed based on how little involvement their characters have. Barely any lines, rarely mentioned, scarcely involved or seen, little to zero motive= EASY TO DISMISS. In ""Clue"", every character had a good motive and could easily have been the murderer(s). ""Knives Out"", you have maybe 3 good suspects and everyone else is just there to fill the space.

Just like his stab at the ""Star Wars"" franchise, ""Knives Out"" feels likes Rian Johnson wrote one draft of the script, which leaves us with so many problems, inconsistencies, and so much stupidity. There is some fun, decent comedy, with solid performances. However, there are a lot of mindless flaws and plot holes. The cops are dumb. If the cops had just done the basics of a investigation they would've discovered the clues. Take the medical bag at the crime scene as evidence, swept the house perimeter to discover the exterior way up to the crime scene window, even a basic pathology report which is routine in any death. The cops in KO are some of the dumbest cops ever in film. Enter, Benoit Blanc who is not a smart detective. He just does all the things the cops would be doing at the very start of they weren't completely incompetent. In fact, Blanc at one point, sits in a car listening to music on headphones instead of investigating. The assumption was, he already knows everything regarding the crime. However, a few scenes later he admits he only just figure it out in that very moment.

The whole vomiting from lying bit was dumb from the start. Not only is she incapable of lying, she is incapable of hearing others lie. Which is funny because Hue gets her to falsify her report regarding his death and she does...WHICH IS A LIE. The blood spot ending up on her shoe is 100% impossible. The blood would have to fly across the room at literally the speed of light, because she closes the door before any blood is seen prior to cutting. The single blood drop would have to fly out and around the door, stop in mid-air and drop straight down on her shoe. The magic bullet of blood drops. Rian struggles with basic physics in his films.

In any whodunnit, a key factor is the setting and location of the crime. The house in ""Knives Out"" is a character on it's own, and is never used to its full potential. In fact, halfway through the film leaves the house. At this point, I found myself longing to return to the house. In ""Clue"", the house is dark, creepy, and adds a lot of tension amongst the comedy. The house in ""Knives Out"" is well designed for a whodunnit, but outside of the cool circle of knives, its underutilized.

By the end of ""Knives Out"" it's all underwhelming. I'll stick with ""Clue"". Unnecessarily forced political jargon, intended to develop characters of a satire, except it feels cheap and plays as a untuned one note gimmick throughout the film. Part of this feels slightly petty from Rian, like a child's retaliation to those who had online constructive criticism for The Last Jedi? Also, I LOVE Daniel Craig, but Johnson has him do a charming southern gentlemen style accent. Or as it's commonly referred to as a KFC Colonel Sanders accent. Really Rian? Daniel is British. Have Daniel be British! British have charming accents too. Daniel Craig reminded me the whole time of Tom Hanks in ""The Ladykillers"". I was not the only audience member asking by the end of the film as to why on earth would you give Daniel Craig this accent.",4
"Long pauses and lingering shots do not actually instill meaning into emptiness. This film is nothing but a surfeit of pauses hoping to evoke something deep and resonant but in fact it's just vapid.

Bill Murray gives a decent performance but how are you supposed to empathise with a character who is oh-so terribly bored because he is stuck in Japan for one week - during which he is incidentally earning $2,000,000.

This movie is best viewed as a con aimed at the rich and famous about how terrible the problems of being rich and famous are and how empty their lives can be in spite of their near limitless options. All together now: ""Get over it"".

I was really hoping they might take the opportunity to say something, indeed anything, interesting about life but all you get is the most cursory and trite observations about a tiny handful of subjects. And gosh, don't Japanese people do the darnedest things? That's right. foreigners are funny, in spite of the fact that they are waiting on our lead characters hand and foot for the entire film making them feel welcome.

This movie is a charade that appeals to a certain, well-heeled section of society but I'm saying the emperor has no clothes.",3
"In this third stand-alone adventure featuring the supernaturally possessed doll Annabelle (who by this point has become a modern horror icon for both her notorious reputation both on-screen and off), the malevolent terror that surrounds her moves to the household of renowned paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga). With the Warren's absent for the night, their daughter Judy (Grace) is left under the supervision of babysitter Mary Ellen (Iseman) and her best friend Daniela (Sarife), who tags along despite no invitation. Their intended quiet night in is ruined when Daniela begins snooping around the Warren's basement, where various haunted artefacts utilized in ritualistic practices are contained, including Annabelle herself. Daniela unknowingly unleashes a malevolent presence upon the house by releasing Annabelle from her locked glass cabinet, leading to a frightful night in which the girls must contain the unleashed evil once more.

Screenwriter Gary Dauberman makes his directorial debut with Annabelle Comes Home, having penned the previous two instalments in the Annabelle series as well as The Nun (2018) and The Curse of Llorona (2019). Dauberman makes a solid effort behind the camera here and crafts some genuinely creepy sequences, yet there are times where moments of suspense are squandered in exchange for clichéd, basic jump scares (there's no shortage of screaming faces popping up from out of the darkness to give you a good old easy startle), but amidst these annoyances Dauberman orchestrates some well executed chills that make up for the pitfalls. Wilson and Farmiga reprising their roles as the Warrens (albeit only for a little while) was a positive, and once again their shared chemistry remains one of the strongest elements of this whole franchise. Although the storyline runs fairly thin, it's never boring. Dauberman's screenplay feels more like an adult orientated Goosebumps adventure at times, but that's no bad thing. There's nothing new or groundbreakingly innovative to be found here, but it is a simple yet effective film that's perfectly enjoyable for what it is.",7
It's a nice fresh air types amidst Gangsters n killers etc...well crafted and nice for a change,8
"Why make it like everything else... the fight scenes are rubbish filler that detract from the story. i don't want to watch 5 minutes of ridiculous action with ""aaahr, aaahr, aaahr"" as a substitute for dialogue and story progression. Ive read the entire collection, this modern cliche of Holmes as socially inept is unworthy drivel.",5
Lots of action and fun but pointless . The whole series seems very pointless I feel like there's nothing really storyline wise to keep you engaged it moves fast and slow all the same time.,5
"Very bland. Some dark moments were hinted at in episodes 1 to 3 but all of it evaporated instantly with a massive exposition dump of episode 4.

The comedy doesn't hit right, a few good jokes here and there; but tonally it is mismatched with the action hero and dark themes that the show claims to portray.

Overall the biggest crime was committed with it being largely boring.

4/10 below average show, nothing special. I didn't give a 5 because I won't be watching the next 3 episodes, I stopped caring already.",4
"I just returned from the theatre on opening day and joined IMDb to share my excitement. This is no sophomore slump. Director Sam Raimi cements his position amongst the great directors after his early work in horror-comedy by lifting the summer blockbuster back to respectability. If this movie doesn't enter IMDb's top 50 by years end, I'll eat my hat. The screenplay is top notch. Kirsten Dunst and Tobey MacGuire communicate more in some scenes of this feature than many actors/actresses do with entire soliloquies. Special effects enter a new level of realism. A movie to sit back and enjoy that doesn't spell out simple points or try to communicate any deep hidden meanings. A good old-fashioned, edge of your seat escape that you will probably hear so much about, you'll be sick of it by the end of the summer. See it.",10
"The film is lengthy that's all. Great Acting, Dark Humor and Screenplay is tight. Must watch if you are bored with the typical simple stories and South Indian movie remakes.

I recommend it.",10
"I was looking forward to this show because I really like the Agent Coulson character in the Ironman & Avengers movies but I have been sadly disappointed. I have watched both episodes and ended up cringing at how ridiculous they were. The stories are confusing and disjointed. You can't understand half of what the Fitz / Simmons characters are saying or why some characters are even on the show. I feel sorry for Clark Gregg because I feel he is an under-appreciated actor with a unique vibe but they have him being a ridiculous straight guy in the midst of a bunch of dumb antics. Unless you have absolutely nothing else to do, don't watch this crap!",1
"Almost 3 hours was to long for this movie, i almost fell a sleep several times because nothing really happens. Good acting, but that doesn't save a movie with a story so thin. If this is the best Batman story they can come up with, then please let Batman rest for 5-10years in filmmaking. Some of the scenes was so bad it could fit any D-movie. And very often when i sat in the cinema i asked myself, am i watching a Batman movie or not? But some of the scenes were very good, so not everything was bad. Now its time for Batman to rest again for the movies. I know they already talks about a reboot, but i hope they don't make it so long as the last to Batman movies. Nolan did a great job with Batman Begins, still the best of the trilogy.",5
"The performances of all the cast are super great and leaves an impression on the audience, especially child actors, with whom you can totally relate as the kids of the era shown in the series. What an enthusiasm every character carries. It is a great delight to watch and of course is addictive too! Cinematography is at its peak, great.",9
"If the term, ""a teenage sex comedy"" is mentioned in human conversation, some glory-hounding tight-end, whether they be a clergyman, politico or parent, gets irate, damning the film before seeing it because it exploits (often true) the raging sexual hormones of bright-eyed adolescents and making it a definite no-no for all ages. With its title inviting obvious and lame jokes from movie critics, ""Superbad"" does exploit, but does more and better than (God helps us) the transparent ""High School Musical"" movies to display kids growing up.

A smart but socially defective pair of tadpoles, carnal-crazed blob Seth (Jonah Hill of ""Accepted"" and ""Knocked Up"") and reflective, philosophical stick Evan (Michael Cera of the under-rated sitcom, ""Arrested Development"") seek copulation sessions with first-class ladies to lose their virginity and have good reps before going to separate colleges: nice girl next door Becca (a sweet Martha MacIssac) is in Evan's sights while Seth wants to ""hump"" future Ford Model Agency candidate Jules (Emma Stone). By a stroke of good luck in home-ed class, Seth gets the job of booze courier to Jules's pre-graduation soirée (NOTE: Underage alcohol drinking is WRONG). Evan helps out and is invited as well.

So does Fogell (rookie Christopher Mintz-Plasse), a squirrel-brain nerd who's euphorically naive to his ""nerdiness"" and fawns over tarty-like Nicola (an underused-by-time constraints Aviva). He irritates Seth more than usual with his fake ID alias; the pleasantly subversive ""McLovin'"" will be immortalized in comedic film history after this review is composed.

For the geeky trio, however, the journey to the ""sweet spot"" is harder than it supposed to be. Hilarity ensues and, boy, does it ever.

Smutty and profane as it is, ""Superbad"" is anything but (lame, but original joke), with an ace, Shakespeare-like script by longtime chums Seth Rogen (lead player of the hit ""Knocked Up"") and Evan Goldberg, who wrote the first draft when they were thirteen (!) and competent direction by Greg Mottola (""The Daytrippers""). Like the maltreated-by audience, double-feature treasure ""Grindhouse"", the film is in love with the 1970s, the decade where films got loose with sex, violence, drugs and vulgar lexicon, with its' funkadelic soundtrack and silhouette dancing intro sequences (provided joyfully by the two leads). Even Sony Pictures, the film's distributor, resuscitated the old Columbia Pictures animated ""curtain opening""; the iconic torch lady morphs into a fading sunset, after a blinding flash.

Hill and Cera come off as a teenage version of the protagonist duos that infest the films of Kevin Smith (yes, the film is a love letter for him, and I wouldn't be surprised if he liked it too), but green-eyed Mintz-Plasse, who got the role after spending time on Myspace.com, is a scene-stealer esquire, having an aura of honest awkwardness. Like the madcap Jason Mewes in Smith's oeuvres, Mintz-Plasse's damn real and damn proud of it.

The ladies give depth to their roles, being crucial to the tale. Though some may find the injection of two gonzo cops (Rogen and ""Saturday Night Live"" member, Bill Hader, who perfectly echoes earlier player Dan Aykroyd) to be a worn-out visit, the two ""Lost Boys with badges and guns"" are essential and a barrel of hearty chuckles.

It may be a stretch, but ""Superbad"" might be the greatest teenage sex comedy around, examining the tempestuous link between friends who have to be to survive in the jungle of high school and see carnal knowledge as a way out of the hole of social exclusion. Every generation, past and present, has their nerds, geeks...you get the idea...who don't fit in because they go left when everybody's goes right (I know since I was a geek in high school, but an angry one at that). Sexual intercourse seems to be a way out, but adolescence, let alone sexual innocence, isn't forever and must be cherished before it's gone, and relating to the opposite sex is a mandatory duty, if one wants to have sex. Besides, the fact a geeky boy is the future boyfriend/husband of a high class woman is undeniable. Otherwise and sadly, there'd be more school shootings.

Unless you're never were geeky or were but too chicken crap to admit it, ""Superbad"" is required viewing.",10
"I was really disturbed from the violence this movie had.

watching children killing people and all this blood and violence flowing in the entire movie was not acceptable for me.

this movie is part of the x-men series which means is mostly for kids but instead what we got is a violent horror movie which is only for adults superhero fans.

40 years ago when I was a kid we grew up with series like LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRE and THE WALTONS series which had morals and praised god.

now today kids grow up with series like THE WALIKING DEAD and SAW which is disturbing to say at least and that's one reason the world is full of crime and corruption as years go by.

if u are a parent and u allow your kids to watch this movie then u are a criminal.

WHEN WE WILL PROTECT OUR KIDS ?

NEXT THEY WILL RELEASE SNOWHITE AS A HORROR MOVIE ?

WHAT'S NEXT ?",5
"I already wrote about the terrible sound design but I just measured it and worth the volume set so that average dialogue is playing at a barely audible 50db max, any of the action sequences are reaching 70+db!

"The most unpleasant and disappointing film that has come out recently! To be honest, I was waiting for this movie! Because of Gosling and Robbie! I waited in vain. Boring plot, bad music (there's not even Aqua's ""Barbie Girl"" song), poor acting and general atmosphere of the film. And even though it is the highest-grossing film of the year, I didn't like it, like many others. Oppenheimer turned out to be much better, and thanks to him for that! I do not recommend this film under any circumstances. Never. Watch only good movies and don't waste time on mediocre film projects. Good luck to all! Bye!",1
"A unique series, every minute of this series is pure adrenaline. I can't believe this script was written at this time. The cast is excellent, especially Kiefer Sutherland. He is wonderful. I can tell that this role was made for Kiefer Sutherland, but during the action, thrills, chases, ads, hidden hints and obvious twists. Violation of the US Constitution is highly visible. And one thing that totally surprised me after the events of season 2, which in the last part of season 2 had a lot of potential to be a continuation of season 3, but after season 2, at the beginning of the new season, the writers start a new topic and move on to season 2. By saying a few dialogues, they close the case. While this series is excellent, it wants to show the crimes and misdemeanors of the Bush administration, and of course make the people of the Middle East look like terrorists by labeling them as terrorists and make them and the people of Russia, China, and the Middle East look like murderers. And shows the viewer mercilessly. In the chapters of the series, it deals with terrorist Muslims and discards other subjects that could have been used, which surprised me. I eagerly follow each season one after the other. I can confidently say that it is one of the best series of my life. But now I'm finishing the 24th episode of season 8, I can say that season 8 is literally rubbish and a waste of time in my opinion (in season 6, 7, 4, there were so many twists and turns that taste sweet It ruined the first two seasons, but in general, it was watchable by spending the seasons, or the writers completely ignore other subjects, and in most of the series, they focus on jihadist Muslims who want to detonate a nuclear bomb on the soil of the United States, or Foxy Russians. It made the series gradually dry up) nonsense in every sense, not worthy of the series at all. In my opinion, it would have been better if it wasn't made, even considering the repetition of some of the themes of the series that started from the end of season 2, but I can't say that 24 is not in the top 10. The best series of my life.",10

Hey let's take out the bad guys, but don't worry about the ppl we hurt in the process. Almost everything about this movie was overkill. That being said, in actuality, the film wasn't all bad. The action scenes were intense, unrealistic but intense. Cast was pretty good despite Ryan Reynolds playing the same character again. Storyline was decent. Either way I'll pass on part 2.",6
"This is a good show that potentially could be better, however what so many TV shows seems to lack is new faces. I suggest, from having watched most of his movies that you bring one of the CSI supporting cast Tino Struckmann with you on this new endeavor and give him a bigger part. we need new faces just like his. he can act and does not look like all the other boring actors and he have chops. I know most series casting or execs do not read reviews but as a fan and somebody in the industry I wanted to open the door for new talent deserving of your attention. A veteran who does his own stunts, knows hos to hold a gun, he started on E-ring and lead a bunch of Indie movies but it is time he gets a break. He became known for his book on women's safety and have his heart in the right place.",8
"The movie is an outstanding work from KJ Production house and one of the best of SRK. It showed the extent of one's love and affection towards others and the most important was the respect towards his words of commitment.

A very touching part was the love between Kajol & SRK, and the way they got justice. This is a common scenario around the world that when some terrorists activity occurs in some place, a feeling of hatred spreads towards innocent Muslims too, but this is not true. Even they have good number of people and one should not be blamed or criticized without investigation.

A very noticeable thing in the movie was that a man is hungry of love and ones you give it him, he's all yours.

So worth watch guys.

Love u SRK and keep rocking. Well done all!!",10

"Season One Review.

As I type this review, a second season is apparently being talked about though is not confirmed.

Adapted from a Graphic Novel, ""The End of the F**king world"" is a pitch black comedy about two dysfunctional teenagers James (Alex Lawther) and Alyssa (Jessica Barden) who leave their lives behind and embark on a road trip across the southeast of England. However, James believes himself to be a psychopath and is plotting to murder Elissa.

It feels weird to type that into the synopsis, as although the murder aspect feels pretty important at the start, it soon doesn't matter as their connection grows. Instead, despite James's shy, awkward nature and Alyssa's brash, strident character they form a likable, and even oddly believable couple as their ""True Romance"" esque story runs towards its conclusion. The plot is very dark with James and Alyssa meeting a range of shady characters as they run. Murder, suicide and sexual abuse all form subplots of the journey. However, there is comedy mixed in too, either from supporting cast or from the internal monologues of both characters, which we can hear.

It's a relatively short series. 8 episodes most of which are around twenty minutes long... so it's very easy to binge-watch in a single session. The central performances are phenomenal as is the smart direction by Johnathan Entwistle and Lucy Tcherniak. Another massive plus is the soundtrack, contemporary indie songs mostly, with some classics by The Buzzcocks, for example, in the mix too.

The ending may prove divisive. . But it does provide a way for the show to continue, should they decide to make more. Even if they don't it's a memorable addition to the catalogues of Netflix and All4 that I look forward to revisiting again in the future.",8
"Soooo boring. It would have been okish if it finished after first 2 episodes. Slow pace, stupid dialogs... Crap, just crap. Seriously, HBO, you can do better!",1
"I do not remember seeing a darker and more gloomy series than this, the amount of calamities that it contains are many 😩",8
"I can't quite put my finger on why this film doesn't work. It might be the script which despite a few good lines is pretty unadventurous and seems to come straight from the 'How to write comic book movies handbook'. It's dull, it plods along and it takes far too long to get going.

The acting is fine although someone should have told Christian Bale that his 'Tony Soprano' accent for Batman doesn't work.

All in all your just left with a feeling of 'So what?', after seeing it. If you've seen the other Batman movies and Spider man or even X-Men then there is nothing new here. It's all the same stuff.

Maybe in the hands of a decent director like Peter Jackson the film would have turned out good. As it is, it's just a big pile of nothing.",3
"After watching one of the greatest pirate movies ever made (Captain Blood,) I decided to finally give this a try. People are astounded that I have never seen a PotC movie. Nope. Not one. Never. Why? Not interested so much in the Hollywood machine. They do make some good films, and give plenty of regular people jobs, but I'm not a sheep, thanks; I'll stick to watching what I like to watch and if I watch a ""Pirates"" movie someday then so be it. Well, someday arrived tonight and I must say, I am not impressed. Nope. Not really. Johnny Depp has some funny moments but two hours of him acting like that is too much. And Captain Jack Sparrow is barely a pirate. A leader of men? Give me a break. He's pathetic. There's some good acting from Keira Knightly and Geoffrey Rush and Jack Davenport, but Depp's hammyness is borderline mental and helps ruin this movie. And what's with the CGI skeleton pirates? I thought this was gonna be a pirate movie. It's McDisney junk food that's only mildly entertaining at best. I was more bored than entertained.

"Visually stunning cash grab garbage. I wish they made movies where as much effort was put into the script as in the CGI extravaganza.

Still, worth watching in IMAX 3D, take away 3D and you're left with a generic, unnecessary long nonsense plot. On a bright side, I appreciate the music score.

But i must admit, the best thing about watching the new Avatar (which really should be called ""Avatar: the way of crap"") was seeing the exclusive trailer for the new Mission Impossible movie :D

I liked the first one more, both movies are cliche packed American super productions where the script is written to appeal to the broadest possible audience, which often boils down to being anchored in stereotypes and all the movie tricks you've seen over the last 30 years in Hollywood scipts.

So, to summarize - visually stunning garbage, but fun experience in 3D and I'll never rewatch it in 2d (because seriously, why?).",3

"This review will be solely about S2 as S1 was overall enjoyable. S2 is a shining example when a showrunner deviates massively from the source material and takes too many creative liberties to try and fill gaps and follow the animated series Nightmare of the Wolf. It ended up becoming bland and characters were written incredibly different than their original characters from the books. Now I get it, not everything translates from book to screen and creative liberties need to be taken. However, this entire season was basically 10% source material and 90% fluff. It is a slap in the face to the fans who gave this franchise life. Now if youve never read the source material, youll probably like this season, it checks all the boxes for the casual netflix consumer, Henry cavill: check, more monsters: check, more overall action scenes: check. The liberties taken in this season could even be forgiven if the writers actually wrote the characters to their fullest extent. Vesemir and Yennefer were a mess in particular, i wont spoil anything but my god, the show had no idea what to do with them this season. Overall, the season was ""ok"" and understand liberties need to be taken here and there, but this season seemed to derail completely from the books and hopefully its still salvageable. Towards the end i see what they were trying to convey, but it was the character development and writing this season that really irked me. For S3 i really hope they take a step back and reevaluate the direction they decide to take as i really didnt feel a connection to any of the characters this season, even Geralt felt...off, however his character still was written the best out of the them.

The show is definitely a slow burn and I was at first skeptical due to the acting feeling a bit stiff and some of the writing but it was made up for by the complex and unique story that is being unfolded right in front of you. You learn that every character is surprisingly thought out and complex. Garner gives a little something to everyone, you could enjoy it as a thriller, or you could delve deeper into the nuances of the philosophy behind the show and the questions it asks. Would highly recommend for anyone that loves near future sci-fi, sci-fi thrillers or Garners previous work. It'll leave you thinking for days after.",7
"This movie was boring and predictable. Clue is worth watching, this is not. Jokes did not land. I am baffled by the high reviews. Save your money, this is a movie to wait to watch for free if you are looking to pass a few hours. Highly over rated, definitely over hyped.",2
7 points for a great looking movie but zero for anything else. Didn't care for the scope of the movie but to elaborate might be considered a spoiler. Although the bullets and explosions sounded great the limited dialogue in the film often could not be made out (maybe more of an IMAX theatre issue). Almost zero character development. Couldn't recommend this movie to anybody who isn't a complete history buff. They might like it but at the same time some parts seemed unrealistic but again I'll stay away from spoilers. Really surprised how some very big time movie critics are so over the moon on this flick.,7
"This show was fine. A little boring, some poor acting, but some ok moments too. My main issue was the protagonist, a few grumpy teenage super soldiers? I don't know, I like my bad guys with a little grit, these guys felt fresh out of school, they looked more like a band. If you like Marvel, give it a go, but this felt like a B grade series to me.",6
"It's curious to see so many people complaining about inaccuracy in a film such as this. Frist of all that's why it's called fiction and not reality. Directors are free to elaborate their metaphors to convey some sort of feeling through the film. The film in itself is actually not that special but it captures the viewer and builds tension as the whole thing displays. This is actually a film that echoes a lot of what nowadays is our world. It doesn't demonize Iraqis but it also doesn't grants us entry to their world. Maybe there's a point there, you can only fight a war if you have an enemy, otherwise you couldn't ever hold people at gunpoint. I'm not a war expert and certainly don't intend to be. I can understand how some people that have commented here, and have been on Iraq, get disappointed as they don't see what they have been through portrayed. But at the same time, the reality of protocol, the chain of command, the handling of the situations, the details with which you can fill a film feature don't immediately make a film more accurate. How about all other films you praise without making such a claim to ""reality""? Why this one could be any different? I can make an example out of it ... do you think that what you saw in a film as Blood Diamond for example amounts to something about Sierra Leone? Can you check it out? It means only this is closer to your heart, but that's your ""claim"" on the film. It's not compulsory to the film director to ""document"". Now, this film doesn't go down because of these claims, but because the characters are shallow. The character who, still, has something is the main one. Unfortunately he is a ""hero"" and ""heroes"" act on what the French call «fierté», something that could be translated as «bravery». But this bravery where does it lead us? What does he accomplish with this bravery? Going back! He is not stupid. But the world where he comes from has become standardized sufficiently so that he prefers bombs to his wife and son? Or is he supposed to take on some sort of destiny, preferring to be killed instead of others. So he's a martyr, like any suicide bomber. And, in this sense, this appears to be a Christian film about an unaccomplished martyrdom. He's not Jesus that's for sure. In the end, i find it propagandistic, without a cause. IT's not ""rebel without a cause"", it's ""playing martyr without a cause"". But hey, is it not that this epoch is all about people not having causes? Maybe this is actually about cynicism. Not enriching. I could think of much better use for the money spent doing it.",4
"It's very similar to the original ""Knives Out."" So if you liked that movie you'll like this one as well. Great performances by Daniel Craig, Janelle Monáe, and Edward Norton. I think I still prefer the original movie just because that felt fresh and unique. This one felt a lot like that retread kind of sequel. The editing, cinematography was all good. It tries to tie in the same type of social message on classism that the first film had. I think it's really well made but I'm a little bit disappointed I guess because it seemed very basic and it had some goofy dialogue moments that felt out of place.

I really enjoyed the allegory of the ""glass onion"" as a sort of jab at charlatans who just spray a whole bunch of hogwash in the ears of the public. Very apt and fitting for today's society.",9

"The unimpressive opening dance number sets the tone for this mishegoss of a film. Yet another case of ""The Academy"" (ie. anyone with a SAG card) voting for films that they have clearly never seen. How this qualified as a so-called Musical is truly a mystery? The musical numbers totaled less than 10-minutes. Zero chemistry and zero character study between the main stars. Stilted dialogue that chewed at my ears with no semblance of a plot. La-La Land was nothing more than an excuse to create lavish sets. Despite my cousin having co-produced this film, I will still stand by my educated review. In the end, an actor's actor always chooses NYC over LA-LA Land.",2
"Unfortunately I have been waiting to see something like the tarantino's usual movies.

"For those who claim they read the series and thought they did a good job with this I can not believe they are real reviews. Deborah Harkness took this genre to an entirely new level, I thinking persons level. Her stories are well researched, well written and completely engaging, everything an author should be, but rarely is in this genre. I have read the books so often I can recite parts of them from memory. The characters were strong, smart and likeable, even when being disagreeable. This TV series contains nothing that made the books wonderful, they pretty much threw the storyline out and made another one. None of the actors remotely resemble the characters in thought or action. Even with the time allowed for character development that a TV series gives you over a movie, they have not taken the opportunity to do it properly. Terrible effort and shame for destroying a wonderful story.",1
One of the newest anime ideas.. I wish it will keep this shining far as it can I Like it a lot,9
"I never thought I'd be the guy to complain about TV violence, but this series of shows is far too violent.

This is a great series with a great storyline and could be awesome, but it's let down by the current Netflix trend to make overly violent television programmes.

It's ""Daredevil"" so might expect that it's going to include some violence, but every one of this series of shows is incredibly and gratuitously violent. I don't know why this is the current fashion for superhero flavoured shows and films, but the dark, dystopian, violent trend is spoiling many shows that could be so much better and reach a wider audience.

For me it just shows a lack of intelligent scriptwriting and a misconception on the producers part that they believe this is what the audience wants. What the audience want is a good story, convincing acting, occasional relevant violence if it's part of the plot and great visuals. Not the level of sickening violence that is prevelent in these shows. Don't get me wrong, I'm used to screen violence, but this new breed of TV show goes way beyond the norm and once upon a time would have either been banned or have been given a R or X rating.

***** Spoiler ******

For instance there's one scene in the show where Kingpin smashes a guys head in with a car door... until he's decapitated him. You don't see the guy lose his head, but what you do see and hear is more than enough, it's revolting.",5
Awesome watch . You can wait for a perfect time to watch it and 100 % swades,10
"This movie was painful to watch. Childish antics gone awry. Anyone thinking of having children, should take pause.",2
"I really don't get what everyone is so excited about. To be sure I didn't miss anything, I watched all the episodes up to the Cell games. I was not impressed. All everyone does is boasting about how they're the strongest. There is actually very little more to it than the fighting and the preparing for the next fight. Although I do admit the story itself is pretty clever and original, actually watching the show has proved to be boring. The characters act dumb, the humor is lame, and there are endless moments where nothing at all is established. It's also pretty inconsistent regarding the power of the characters. Overall I'd say the story is worth reading, but actually watching the show isn't worth it at all.",7
"I can't believe anyone found this movie even mildly entertaining let alone brilliant. even more preposterous are the comparisons to 2001???? Like all of Nolan's other movies, Interstell

I'm not going to write synopsis or give details but simply share my opinion.

There was nothing even remotely 'good' about this film. It attempted to blend ideas and plots from past Sci-Fi films, but in the end turned out to be a disconnected and poorly developed mess. Everything from the crap science to the uninteresting characters,cheesy and awkward dialog, to the story, or lack thereof made this film unwatchable. The characters did not come off like scientists; they didn't even come off like people in such dire situations would. Such as making jokes about being an asshole when confronted by a massive black hole. Anne Hathaway's character was particularly inferior. I seriously wanted someone to strangle her.

Of course this could have been excused if the movie didn't take itself so serious or had some redeeming qualities/aspects. However, the film tries so hard to be profound, but it ends up being awkward.

"A completely dumbed-down and whitewashed version of the life of John Nash. The really interesting part, namely the Nash Theorem and the Nash Equilibrium, are just mentioned, no one actually cared to explain why these contributed to game theory and economics and earned him the Nobel prize. Instead of that, we get a ridiculous and unrealistic depiction of his schizophrenia, Crowe babbling as an idiot, Conelly in the most unbelievable, sexist, dumb role they could ever write for Nash's wife and clichés of academic life, institutions, interpersonal relationships etc. Only Christopher Plummer, Ed Harris and the make-up department were actually worth their salaries. A film destined to please brain-dead people, I guess that's why the Academy liked it anyway.",4
"The lion king is my absolute favorite disney movie, so you can imagine my excitement when they announced this one. the return of James Earl Jones, Simba played by Donald Glover and Nala played by Beyoncé...what could go wrong? a lot, apparently.

not only was i disappointed in the lack of heart, but some of my favorite scenes and songs from the last film were cut short. my favorite song from the original movie is Be Prepared, and that was one of, if not THE most disappointing part of the entire movie.

on top of that, a few characters break the fourth wall and discuss the original movie, which i was taken aback by and not happy with.

i think they could have done something really wonderful here and they just completely dropped the ball",2
"The double entendre that is Black Mirror's name summarizes the show perfectly. The first interpretation is that the show looks inwards, at the darker aspects of humanity and society. This is done through the theme of technology, hence the second meaning. The black mirror is the screen that rules our lives.

Each self-contained episode is brilliantly crafted and produced. The stories are compelling and the acting is phenomenal. This show is not for those looking exclusively for entertainment, as the episodes leave you with a distinctly empty feeling. Although this is obviously the intent, one cannot help but wonder at the creators' bleak outlook on the world. The presence of bestiality in the first episode could very well deter some viewers, but I would remind them that the show is Twilight Zone-esque in structure as well as theme. The episodes may be watched in any order, as they are all completely independent of one another. The second episode in particular is storytelling of the highest form.

Black Mirror is disturbing in the best possible way. It unflinchingly explores the issues of society through deeply intimate stories and characters and their interactions with technology. Let me be clear, it will not leave you feeling fulfilled. Watching it was an exhausting experience that shook me deeply. The thought provoking subject matter combine with powerful, desolate stories and excellent performances to create one of the most unique and brilliant shows that I have seen. It not only holds the viewer's attention while it plays, it enthralls your thoughts long after the credits roll.",9
"I'd give season 1 a 10, 2 an 8 and 3 a 9. Hope you're not too confused.",7
"Season 1 was fantastic, season 2 kept the ball rolling. Season 3 was a poor concept riddled with weak characters who's behavior was inconsistent from previous seasons, drawn out far too long and wrapped up so poorly that the characters on the show could have written a better script. Haven't been so let down by a show's ending since how I met your mother.",4
"Including female or minorities characters on a TV show is not ""PC"". Have people lost their minds? Does no one know what political correctness means? Also, the original lost in space was about an elderly homosexual trying to murder a little boy. I've seen an enormous amount of negative reviews for this show, and the majority of the reviewers claim the show is too PC. Is this some sort of code for prejudice?",8
"Basically just coming up with random rubbish to fill time, which is ironic about a series about time.

Is he at the end of time British? The show would suggest his origin is elsewhere. It's so boring I'm not sure I have the will to continue. I gave 4 stars for the production which is good, but like so many marvel series of late this could have been delivered as a 90 minute film. They are getting more and more filler in them, literally getting through an episode is like watching paint dry. These vanityprojects need to stop and Marvel needs to get back to event worthy film making not this new hell.",4

I haven't seen all of them but I've seen my fair share but this has got to be my least favourite, the trailer was good I was excited to see it, but it sucked, now some may disagree but I did not enjoy this film at all, so a 2/10 seems fair.",2
Very unrealistic portrayal of the characters. The situational portrayal does not match at all with the image of the characters played. The mix and match and unwarranted roller coaster makes it too lengthy and dragging.,4
"What started off with promise and good atmosphere. What proceeded to build tension and the notion your guesses of what everyone is seeing will finally pay off with some form of answer, ends up being 2 hours of wasted time. A large factor used in horrors is not knowing, or keeping something hidden from the viewer (keeping them guessing) but not necessarily from the characters in the movie or show. However with no reveal or any form of answer, it becomes a cheap scapegoat for writers to not have to create a clever answer that is waiting at the end of the 2 hours. So instead of seeing if your guesses were correct or having the 2 hours sat there pay off, you're left feeling like you've just wasted your time. Even legendary horrors like Hitchcock's Psycho didn't have to show violence and left it to the imagination (possibly also due to higher censorship decades ago) but you still knew the facts or were given substance to work with. So when you're watching a horror where it's possible there is no real antagonist then it's pointless.

Save your your for something better spent than this disappointment.",4
"Despite of ugly Triss, too muscled Witcher(but his acting is really good - he could played such a good Superman with good scenario) and stupid armor this serial have amazed me with good acting and plot, despite in the beginning it's confused me a little with switching timelines. 8.7 of 10 toss a coin to your Witcher",9
Great acting but a complete farce Pretty disturbing to be honest,4
"Do you remember how you felt right after having watched 'The Empire Strikes Back'? 'The Return of the Jedi'? 'The Matrix'? Or the first Iron Man movie?

If you are like me, I would guess pretty darn excited -- 'Can't wait to see what happens next'! Now try to remember how you felt after watching 'The Phantom Menace' and 'The Matrix Reloaded' --

Well, after watching two of the biggest travesties in the world of sequels... I felt completely frustrated, angry and cheated!

I won't say I feel the same resentment after having watched Iron Man 2 but it comes pretty darn close.

Iron Man 1? A fantastic movie! Iron Man 2? I want my money back! And my travel expenses!

What is wrong with Iron Man 2? Do you have a couple of hours?

Maybe...no script? Really, are these guys serious? They make a movie costing around $150 million dollars and the script SUCKS BIG TIME.

Plot holes anyone? There is NO motivation: you have no idea why you should care about the characters, since the characters themselves don't have a clue what they are supposed to do or feel and why in this story. I'm not saying the actors are bad, they are doing all they can, but they are given a crappy script to work with.

No sense of suspense or danger: despite one hundred of explosions and a couple of thousand stray bullets in crowded areas, NOT ONE PERSON gets killed or wounded in the whole movie! The closest you get to 'wounded' are a couple of bruises. How am I supposed to care for someone when I KNOW he won't get hurt? This is a MAJOR difference from the first Iron Man movie, where the threat was real.

Somebody desperately tried to make Iron Man 2 into a movie for all ages -- well, it worked, in the worst possible way.

This is also why all of the action scenes are boring, since all you see is CGI animated cartoon robots bashing into each other -- sounds a lot like Transformers you say? That's right, but with EVEN LESS human emotion, since no one gets hurt.

It was pretty difficult to mess this up, but they somehow managed to do it.

I've read all the rave reviews -- ""action packed!"", ""entertaining!"" ""terrific!"" Are we talking about the same movie here? Seriously guys, either you have a very low standard or you have never watched a movie that truly deserves those rave reviews, like: The Matrix and the original Star Wars trilogy.

And no, I'm not comparing Iron Man 2 only to 'classic movies'. Even newer movies like Star Trek or Kick-Ass or even Iron Man 1 were ten times better!

Kick-Ass was made for $30 million, instead of $150 like Iron Man 2 and it completely kicks Iron Man 2's ass in every department.

I want to erase Iron Man 2 from my memory but I'm afraid it will be very difficult -- still having nightmares about Jar Jar Bings --

Thank you Iron Man 2 screenwriters, for ruining the Iron Man 1 experience for me. I wish I could sue you.

Why I still give it 5 stars? Because the actors tried. And because I smiled a few times. That's it. A DVD throwaway movie at most, it really wasn't worth my money.",5
"UPDATE 7/10 Yes, the final episode is that good. Tied things up nicely, and raised my rating by two stars. Short version without spoilers: digs into society's roles for people based on their station, race, and gender to assess how things got this way and what to do about it.

ORIGINAL 5/10 Seriously, this New Captain America guy never would've made it in the movies, and I can see how Evans beat this actor out for the role. Every scene he's in is maddening, and not (just) because of how he's written.. Maybe this show would be better without him, but I still doubt it'd gain more than a point. Falcon, Bucky, Zemo, the Dora, Val, and Isaiah & his nephew (?) are outstanding. Even Sharon's new capacity is well done. Karli & friends are good. Everyone else, however, is trying way too hard to be a well-financed, bad-azz cosplayer.

Even the closed captioning is a bust - it can't tell the difference between thunder and fireworks.

And that, boys & girls, pretty much sums up the whole show.",7
"A romantic comedy. Definitely enjoy those religious jokes. Though the politic position is slick. I can't tell it's just ironic or in belief. Nothing bad, just too tricky.",7
"I paid good money to see this and I was truly disappointed. The acting was superb and the cinematography was better than the Raimi version, but the buck stops there! Sam was a better story teller and you felt you didn't need to know much about the character before watching the movie. This new version lacks the plausibility of the whole story. It seems the director, Webb, wanted to make the unreal more realistic and bring him into our world not realizing that movie goers want to be transported into the world of the fantasy and get a break from ours. Garfield played a brooding web-slinger who was more concerned about finding himself than the killer of his Uncle. I know this movie stayed true to many parts of the comic book, but the character development was lacking and was only compensated by the brilliant actors playing the key roles. Spidey Sense was nowhere in this, his ability to heal quickly, and his reporter angles were also omitted. Another thing that bothered me was the fact that all of New York knew he was Spiderman. All except for Aunt May. I must say that no matter how old Sally Field gets she is still too sexy to play Aunt May. The wrestling angle and the slaying of Uncle Ben were too rushed in my opinion. Lizard seemed too powerful to be foiled by the weaker watered down version of Spiderman. Maybe Mr. Webb believed he was more qualified than anyone else because of his name. Even the explanation of how he got bitten was never properly explored. Garfield has a James Dean like quality in his acting and you felt as if you were more comfortable watching PP outside of the costume because Spiderman's identity was never truly developed. I would recommend watching the first two Raimi Spiderman movies than this watered down hapless version. The ending left you dissatisfied as if you were given a Whopper without any meat.",4
Not bad at all but the editing and all the jumping back and forth was super annoying,7
"I found this film to be very disappointing. There was little if any plot and the film just dragged on. There was no attempt to provide a good strong story line. The little boats were barely mentioned (except for the one where some of the action took place) and it wasn't until near the end of the film that they all suddenly turned up.

Also, the beach looked like they had a few hundred men not the over 400,000 we were being told were there.

I had an uncle who was at Dunkirk. I feel this film really lets them down.",3
One of those stupid films where there is a mystery but it's unexplained. I thought they stopped making these? They are lame the audience wants and EXPLANATION.,5

We have seen people chasing each other on skies in the mountains already at least once in a James Bond movie and this is also not the first movie about dreams, manipulating peoples minds etc. The case is good, sci-fi effects are state of the art, but this is it. This is not a movie I will still think of in a week from now, a similar movie that really stuck to my mind was ""Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"", a lot less (if any) special effects, but very subtle. Still this is probably the best movie that is currently in the cinemas and it is worth seeing.",7
Had the same vibe as Dirk Gently and too many songs like as if it was selected from 'imagine dragons' shuffle list,4
Downplays rape culture as a necessity for the movie's plot. Consistent negating of a woman's experience. Another male written and directed narrative that only reflects the narrow focus of their experience. It is shocking that any woman would take this role.,1
"""I.privatize.world peace"" sums it all.

The novelty of ""Iron Man"" hasn't worn off on me. While it would never be the same as witnessing the first scene of Iron Man soaring into space and the joy of the trial and error, Iron Man is still the only one of its kind that is as grounded in future reality as it could be.

Tony Stark is one of the rare exceptions of being a publicly known superhero. And possessing the traits of a superhero, he does not. Robert Downey Jr. doesn't disappoint in the sequel wherein the world knows him not only as the billionaire weapon manufacturer extraordinaire, but more pivotally as The Man in armored suit.

RDJ is the brain, heart and soul of Iron Man. It makes me wonder whether the script was written to be specifically tailored to him. Bold and brash, he's got that smug and swagger that commands the world over. Naturally narcissistic and sarcastic, over-sized just doesn't cover it as far as his ego goes. Never known for subtleties, his flashy style and fast-paced lifestyle suits him just fine - even in his quest to discover the new energy source since the arc-core machine that keeps his heart beating is also slowly poisoning his blood.

RDJ's personality carries every single scene that he's in. Numerous outrageously riotous one-liners bring on continuous giggles and laugh out-louds. Be it frivolous or witty or sarcastic, Stark goes toe-to-toe with the newly minted CEO of Stark Industries aka love-interest Pepper Pots, newly appointed eye-candy secretary with an ulterior motive aka Black Widow, Hammer the competitor with an ambitiously ambiguous agenda, or Nick Fury from yes, the upcoming Avengers team (sidenote: the geeks in us would notice Captain America's shield and Thor's hammer). Everyone seems to have so much fun and it shows. I don't recall ever laughing so hard for so long in a non-comedic movie!

And Whiplash... what an entrance! I totally didn't expect the Monaco mayhem to happen early. With connected past through their fathers, he's a worthy adversary. The Grand Prix thrill of the peril where Whiplash faces off with Stark sans suit is the stealer of the movie (and the manner in which he ends up donning the suit is a real treat), even more so than the last sequence of dash, smash and blast of the battle of the war machines in the end. Although the mass zig-zag laser cut or the armed superobots is the incredible icing on the metal. If there's a ""flaw"" in all these, Don Cheadle as war machine is too flawless to be believable. Not anyone clad in the suit is ""Iron Man.""

One might argue that this ""Iron Man"" lacks heart, but I tend to think that it's just as it's supposed to be. ""Iron Man"" doesn't take itself seriously; it's a nonstop joyride starring a wisecracked eccentric atypical superhero, and it deftly delivers.

"This movie is very lacking and underwhelming.

I watched it and felt like I've seen it before.

Very formulaic and predictable.

One of Guy Richie's worst, in my opinion and a rate movie where the sequel is better than the original.

That being said, the cast did a decent job. Mark Strong is a fantastic actor that always turns up. Robert Downey Jnr is youthful and doesn't to overboard with the weirdness, delivers his role well. Rachel McAdams was and is always a bit ordinary.

This movie is a good time killer but is really lacking. It's filmed well and based in London but isn't as interesting as I'd like it to be.",6

Update: After watching all three seasons I've upped my rating from two to four. It does get better as the story progresses but most of the characters are not likeable and the storylines are full of holes. The story felt quite rushed. A lot was packed into a relatively low number of episodes. There was enough material for much longer series and i think this programme may have been better if the story had had more time to be developed/better explained.",4

The movie went from one scene to the next to the next to the next, it kept jumping around so you never really get into liking one character or the other. It was a very slow movie and the War scenes were less graphic than what you see on regular T.V. I would rate this movie below a 1 if I could. Definitely the worst war movie I have ever seen. I have no idea how anyone would rate this movie better than Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, or any other war movie. To sum it up, wait for it to come on DVD if you really want to watch it because I promise you that you will thank me for saving you money!",1

"I started watching Avatar when I was about 7 years old, when the show began. When it was on air I would occasionally watch it, enjoying the humorous quips and fun-filled filler episodes, without really divulging into the true nature of the show. It wasn't until years after the show went off air to how I truly understood just how amazing and magnificent this show really is. The first book has its weak points, but as soon as Book 2 starts the action and anticipation picks up and goes throughout the rest of the series. I've always seen this show as Nickelodeon's Harry Potter, an enthralling series with outstanding characters and an unbelievably remarkable plot line. Anyone can learn so much from this.",10

"Well, after all the glory this film has had, I decided to watch it. And for my opinion, it wasn't that great. Was it the hype, I don't know..I just didn't like that much to esteem the movie as #2 in IMDb top 250 list. It was just as boring as Stephen King's book are. Afer all, acting was great, I have no bad things say about that, it's only a bad script, for my opinion. Nowadays, when there's such realistic prison descriptions, as OZ and Prison break, this one doesn't give the spark. For a good prison movie I reckon the following: If you wanna see a good prison movie, you should watch ' Blood In Blood Out ', If you haven't had a chance already. Now, there's a reality check and a great movie, which haven't lost it's best-before date, like this one has.",2
"I had no idea how disappointing this film was going to be... someone must have rigged the rating ahead of its release. Wish I could get those hours back. Hoping I can spare others the pain with this review.

Science: completely implausible, often laughable Character development: patchy and contradictory Motivations: fake and unbelievable CGI: brilliant! The only saving grace of the film Music: incredibly predictable, without any subtlety, was jarring a lot Acting: very ordinary Overall this film has underestimated the intelligence of its viewers or perhaps it didn't care for patronising. Or film makers thought all movie goers are really quite stupid.

For those who are used to sci-fi, even reasonably OK sci-fi, this is bound to be a big disappointment: it's crude, implausible and cringe worthy throughout. The premise and the CGI could have propelled this film further if it wasn't bogged down by bad screenplay, bad dialogue, bad acting, bad music and maltreatment of every sacred tenet of good sci-fi. The plot appeals to emotions but leaves the intellect starving.",2
"The Godfather Part II is one of those rare sequels that is regarded by many to be as good as, if not better than, the original. I'm guessing that much of its popularity lies in the fact that it is not just a sequel, following Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) as he continues to expand his family's 'business', but also a prequel, charting Vito Corleone's life from a child in Sicily at the turn of the 20th century to powerful New York mafia don. Two films for the price of one!

Unfortunately, as far as I'm concerned, only half of this 'double-bill' is really worth the time and effort. The flashbacks are great, with Robert De Niro superb as the young adult Vito, rising from shop assistant to mob boss; these parts reminded me of the excellent Once Upon A Time In America, which also charted the early lives of young gangsters (and which also starred De Niro). In contrast, the scenes featuring Michael's continuing underworld activities in the '50s are far too convoluted and slow for their own good, making keeping up with the Corleones more of a chore than a pleasure.

8/10 for the flashbacks; 4/10 for the rest. That's a disappointing average of 6/10.",6
"This is a tale of a Soldiers struggle to keep a promise. It is a visual masterpiece but it lacks in believability. As a Soldier parts of the tale did not make any sense but I take it with a grain of salt as it is based in World War 1. It delivers action and suspense while draped in the hellish emotions of a world falling apart around our protagonist. If you didn't catch in on the big screen, it's worth the rental or watching it on TV.",7
"The concept was simple and beautiful. But the storytelling was week why the director tried to tell two story which is one-half part, and the second part relation between Keda and Alpha. And these two story seems not to been blended in terms of good storytelling movie structure!!. Even though the environmental concept visualization was great!.",5
"As a science nerd and someone who used to be obsessed with the Manhattan project, nuclear bombs etc. This really couldn't have been much worse. There were maybe 15 minutes of interesting tidbits related to themes Oppenheimer actually dealt with in his life and the rest was just garbage. It's like they tried to make it into a romcom/political film that had very little to do with the actual interesting parts of Oppenheimer's life. I won't write spoilers, but I promise you there is not much to spoil. Endless drivel, dialog that literally put me to sleep for a few minutes.

If you're interested in science and tech, just skip it. If you're interested in a good drama, skip it. If you like dull trials with too many actors and are really into dudes yelling every 5 minutes about ""russia"" or ""communists"" then go for it.",2
"I really unable to understand what make people think that this movie is a masterpiece , for me it's par average movie nothing new or not much emotional , I think people who says masterpiece must be watching an ultra level violence movies throughout there life so a small touch made them feel great or they just appreciating as it won academy awards .

Any how this is just a normal movie filled with nominal emotional in it

This movie definetly doesn't deserve academy award.",4
Movie started off great but then i dont know it kind lost me a little the airport fight was ok i guess nothing amazing with so many heros on screen but its an ok movie but its overhyped.,5
"I didn't liked the twist nor the end, we all get it that's the fact about humans but stories are written inorder to inspire or take something out of it, not to be left stranded in some dilemma, it's like putting in all your efforts just to watch everything go in vain, I mean are we not facing this on daily basis already, and we need a series to add up to our anxiety thats awesome hajime.

It's like telling a story of a person who put in all sacrificed everything to achieve nothing, just the kind of series we need in this hard times.

Watch the series just to be devastated at the end of it LOL.",7
"I wont go into details of the story because I hate spoilers. I will only say this. Stories like this in tv series are rare, and watching it was a gift to be a part of. I hope you join us soon in watching it as well. This story has been an absolute pleasure to have been gifted by the producers of this series to have turned these book into television. Into a form we could enjoy with those, who have chosen to read the books themselves. I hope that you will join us soon in enjoying this wonderful tale.",10
This show is so incredibly boring but if you're stuck in the 80's and can't move on after 40 years you might just like it. But if you're someone who moves forward in life and knows that a 3rd level AoE spell in D&D wouldn't possibly kill Demogorgon don't waste your time. There's too many good shows to watch to waste your time on this.,1
"Cinematographically really an awesome film, great actors, storytelling, gripping. But maybe it´s only me, I can´t make out a plot that ties all together, unfortunately. So it remains a bunch of snipets, greatly shot clips, but the story loses itself if not in the worst of all, in oceandeep hopelessness, it is the saddest experience leaving the theatre. 9 for the pictures, 1 for the story. sorry no.",6
"So Tylor killed nearly hundreds of innocent police and armies for money first, then for the boy. And all police and armies work for a drug lord? Seriously? This is not Africa, Mexico or Russia.

The town they showed doesn't match at all with actual Dhaka. Even Dhaka doesn't have gangster like that.

No proper road? Only slums? Child as criminals? What the hell is this? What a miss representation!!

They didn't even shoot the movie in Dhaka, at least they could visit here.

Shame on Russo Brothers.",1
Want to see some more good content in bollywood Its a fresh new story. Not a south remake or hollywood adaptation. We need fresh content,10
"In this day and age where wokeness seems to be everywhere and rule over everything, i had some resentment to watch the show. But so far, it's okay, there's just a pinch of woke in it.

The show isn't amazing, but at least it's not boring. Too many ellipses for my taste, i'm still wondering what is the main plot line, a bit predictable.

Good acting, i believe, from most of the main actors, at least i believe them when they deliver their speeches.

And i don't really know what else to say for now, i'll update this review, in the sea of others (and much better) reviews, later.

I didn't read this book, but i sure will now, because i'm pretty sure that it'll be much better than this TV show.",8
"This reminds me of Pirates of the Caribbean. The first movie was brilliant and could have been a stand-alone. But if you're going to make a sequel to a hit, you need to play on what the audience loved about the original, which for both was a clever plot and fun characters. But both decided instead to up the grotesque and the macabre and add more characters so that everyone is shallow. I could only stomach a couple of the first episodes of S4 then I went to the last one and skipped through most of it to see the conclusion. It wasn't that great so I was glad I didn't waste my time trudging through the middle. How is this fun or uplifting in any way? Those things pack more of a punch when used sparingly. Instead it makes my stomach cringe and makes me want to pray for God's forgiveness for watching such filth and never watch another season again. In my opinion, it would've been better had every season been an entirely new city and cast with a new mysterious plot. The original cast could make cameos, and that would be fun. And then in the end they could tie all the stories and casts together. That would've been so epic and unique. A missed opportunity imo. Goodbye, Stranger Things.",6
"This show certainly picked quite the challenge, introducing a new world to the viewer while at the same keeping it intriguing and not overwhelm.

Actors : Henry Cavill is a strong lead, and portrays Geralt fantastically. He alone makes this show go from average fantasy to a fantastic unique show.

Story : gripping yet can be daunting if you're completely new to story. But will pay off in the long run as they take their time to introduce all elements and build the characters such as Yennefer.

Effects, sound and props: this vary quite a bit, while most of the monster looks great others look like very dated effects. The music and sounds is nothing but fantastic, and creates a true atmosphere to the witcher universe. And I find costumes, armies and props greatly detailed and enhances the atmosphere further.

Conclusion: this is not a show for everyone, but no show is, not even GOT was. It has thrilling action scenes, a fantastic lead, the occasional humour, and a deep story that I will eagerly follow through seasons. Give it a chance as you wont be disappointed.",9
"Murder on the Orient Express type movie with an ensemble caste each with his/her own motives to murder whoever it is in this movie who is murdered. Not particularly interesting or suspenseful, a who-done-it with no particular surprise at the villain. At first I found the story line and characters confusing but a detailed flashback explains everything. I just felt blah by the end of this film, asking myself -- so? Much ado about nothing. Nor doe the cameo performances add any humor or interest to the story, again the question is: so what? Basically a forgettable waste of time, not horrible but mediocre.",3
"The Punisher is a great action series with an adequate plot, you know after the first episode what your going to get, so dont go looking for Shakespeare.....season 2 features a young actress who is believable and raw talented, and i think this show will be a stepping stone to kickstart what may be a promising future..",8
The first season starts out ok but goes downhill a bit and the second season isn't that good. The show celebrates immorality and hedonism,1
"From the 1 episode you'll love the drama. Kota Factory is based on reality how students are doing hard work to become something in life. Kota Factory is an amazing drama from TVF. And I recommend everyone to watch it.

It's shows how institutions are looting money in the name of education. Although the series has only 5 episodes.

KOTA FACTORY is the BEST drama by TVF",8
"With a rather shaky screenplay, this second Venom opus doesn't really manage to reach its objectives. Never really funny, never really impressive, never really subversive, we get bored quickly to reach the final fight which is also disappointing and unfulfilled. Not everything is completely bad, but we regret that nothing is really good either.",4
All the characters are awesome.. one of the best comedy movies ever made ... pankaj tripathi did his work very well as always.. all the actors palyed their role fantastically.. a must watch movie..,10
Listen to the consensus. One of the best works in animation period.,10
Everyone must watch this movie.This film give me real mafia soul.Expect Part I.Part I better than part II but part II is very very good either.Part II is third place in top rated film but I think The Shawsank Redeption is overrated.To me Godfather and Part II is better than The Shawsank Redemption.My first Godfather Review include spoiler so this review hasn't got spoiler.I just say everyone must watch this film because Al Pacino and a lot of good actors in this movie but Al Pacino is amazing.I said in the title.This film is a masterpiece.Whatever just watch this film.Its perrfect.Thank you for reading this.,10
"Made no sense. Brought back all the old characters. The storyline is painfully slow. I ate two meals during because it took so long, and I couldn't keep watch in one sitting. Totally predictable. You'd have to be a simpleton to enjoy this movie.

"If you are impatient and looking for a movie with big scary CGI monsters and jump scares, watch something else.

If you can pay attention and enjoy a good story about people coming together during an interesting crisis, with a good pace, good characters, and suspense that will keep you watching: This is a pretty decent movie. Much better than most of the theatrical horror/suspense movies that come out these days.

It has some similarities to The Happening, but very minor and those reviews are people who went in wanting a popcorn monster movie. There are some similarities to A Quiet Place, but just that it's a family trying to survive and hiding from something.

So, if you actually have an attention span, you might want to check this out. Otherwise, there's always movies like The Nun for mindless jump scares.",7
"Reality was never Stephen Spielberg's thing. For nearly fifty years now, he's built a filmmaking legacy on a homogenized reinvention of Americana, like processed cheese.

For him, the messy realities of life aren't photogenic, and their stories, not arcs, but corkscrews; to him, the holocaust feels right in black and white, and Jim Crow needs pops of color. Even newsreels of D-Day don't make the cut because, in his worldview, nothing exceeds like excess.

This movie, called ""The Fablemans,"" apropos of everything, is for Spielberg, surprisingly, a change of course. But it's not so much a departure as a detour, a romp into Lucas territory, into something like a Jewish ""American Graffiti.""

From a screenplay based on Spielberg's childhood, but too loose to be biographical, and too conventional to be credible, it's his fantasy about how he became hooked on movies and moviemaking, which, by all accounts, is not too far removed from the truth. But truth itself has never been adequate enough for Spielberg, unless it's either above or below the horizon. Appropriately, he receives this dictum from an old-school master (played by the very un-Spielberg David Lynch), as Spielberg has been, from inception, a classicist, never an innovator. So true to form, he breaks no new ground here, but treads assuredly, as usual, on the familiar.

Collaborating again with playwright Tony Kushner, he returns to his roots, literally--the DeMille of the suburbs--where he is, even he might agree, more at home, especially with mothers a bit off-center. Central to that end, Michele Williams, in a pixie hairdo, tackles the Spielberg mother role--really his own mother--like all those who came before, from Goldie Hawn, to Lorraine Gary, to Teri Garr, to Melinda Dillon, to Dee Wallace, and she does this duty well, taking direction from the master, as do the child actors, also central. But for Spielberg, always, it's the mother to whom attention must be paid, like a debt one can never satisfy. Indeed, the movie's least effective scenes are those set pieces featuring Williams, which seem staged, as if to belabor some point, like her kitchen histrionics, piano recital protest, and interpretive dancing in the headlights (sans underpants).

The writing is competent, not radical or memorable (except a line about licorice borrowed from Spencer Tracy), but does discover its DNA with stock Jewishness from Uncle Boris, a character inspired by Kushner, played with stock Jewishness by Judd Hirsch, then somewhere midway steers a hard left into a John Waters' movie, with Edd Kookie Byrnes, Jesus, and Aqua Net.

What was to be his ode to movies, his own ""Nuovo Cinema Paradiso,"" is more or less a return to the made-for-television movies of his past, which is not to say those weren't good movies. In fact, they were too good for the small screen. However, the same can't be said of ""The Fablemans.""",5
"It works on the assumption that if they pull of a romance you wont care the story doesnt actually make sense and the few places were the characters act ""oddly"" just to make the romance work.

It put a lot of effort into the backgrounds and setting, its a gorgeous production and it does add to the show.",6
"The rating is only for the action. -3 for not having storyline -3 for portraying wrong Dhaka

The movie is superb in the perspective of action but having no plot makes it boring, another thing is though after killing too many polices, more are coming out of nowhere in one scene (😂) I'm sorry but it's funny. I'm not specifying the scene because of spoiling.

Another perspective is that the film is shot in India but makes it to pretend as Dhaka. The environment is not such in Dhaka, you are using hindi songs in houses which aren't a good example, Bangladesh has it's own music industry. The accents are very different from Bangladeshi people, the mobs police are different here. Printing posters & make it look like Dhaka didn't work actually.

The director portrayed a false image of Dhaka.",4
"It seems as though Tarantino had a finished and edited move. Then trashed it, and pieced together with the deleted scenes. I would give it less than zero stars if not for Tarantino's saving grace, a wonderful cast. A common theme with his movies.",2
"I love many Scorsese films, but...The Irishman is an overly long nostalgia piece: the gangsters are ruthless; the women are mere bystanders and funeral attendees (why hire Anna Paquin just to glower?); the make-up and computer manipulated faces are distracting. Seeing Pesci, Pacino and DeNiro together again is enjoyable for a while, but the film just feels soulless and empty to me. No ideas, no message--just a fraternal reunion of some acting pals. Not satisfying.",4
"I was forced to watch this movie in three parts because it was way too boring to watch from start to end without brakes, started on Friday and finally ended on Sunday. Four might be too good but this wasn't all s***. You can see from reviews that hipsters do like this (another's crap is another's gold). Most rated this from 1 to maybe 6, but then there were hipsters and 10's started flying. ""This was different.."" does not make it good, usually same line is used when you taste something awful and you can't say it or ""You didn't understood this..."" still s***, but I'm so different that I like this and everyone else also should.",4
"Too Overrated.. 1star is just for acting of the cast which is too good. Half people liked it because other liked it. But, there is nothing to watch.. The story is too cheesy and watching the season isant worth your time.. in other words it is time wasting. People just like it because of Desi content. Better watch GOT, Sherlock, Narcos Mexico, etc.",1
"Half good, half bad... had to pause this film at least 10 times because I wasn't interested enough. At least we now know that the Holmes family doesn't only contain smart people.. The brains behind this should have thought this through a little more because it wasn't as smart as we excpect the Holmes to be. Then again, if it's meant for 12 year olds, then maybe they aren't as critical as more grown ups are...",3
"A decade has passed since the release of Attack on Titan's first season, but my lockdown binge brought me into this monumental series. From the intense narrative and stunning animation, to the resilient protagonist facing a harsh world, it captured the essence of teenage emotions.

Over time, life has broadened my emotional horizons, mirroring the complex characters in the show. It reflects how life challenges us with painful moments, offering fresh perspectives. The struggle against an unforgiving reality is a theme woven into each character's journey.

While some criticized the series for its slower pace post-season one, my journey mirrored the characters' as they navigated their destinies, adding depth to the world-building. The story explores the gray areas of morality, highlighting the ever-present conflicts and complex decisions that shape our paths.

Attack on Titan excels by not imposing a strict moral framework, allowing us to observe and ponder the intricacies of right and wrong.",9
"This excuse for a big budget thriller was the same movie as ""Gravity,"" with an equally unbelievable storyline to go with it. Gravity was a totally incredulous, high tech cartoon, with absolutely no emotional content. Interstellar is a high tech cartoon with soap opera emotion gone horribly awry. First, a great film has to create that illusive, ""willing suspension of disbelief."" Any film maker can make fantasmagorical imagery, but if it doesn't maintain some degree of reality, a movie can go south like a flock of frightened fowl. And that's what this overstepping scifi farce was, a turkey. A pseudo serious, tear jerking moon walk with a premise as weak and flawed as it's desire to be more than what it was... pure Hollywood drek dressed in melodramatic clothing... er, spacesuits.",3
"Belongs in the category ""Movies this world does not need"". I don't know what target audience this movie is meant for. First of all it is ALWAYS silly and stupid watching a US/UK movie about the german side of WWII. No german actors and everyone speaks in their own US/UK accent. That has always been a downer when a movie director doesn't give two cents about authenticity. The mock german accent is simply ruining everything. US/UK actors should never impersonate germans... PERIOD.

The movie is just unbearable and hard to watch. Nothing can be taken seriously and the idea of an imaginary Hitler friend is just... welll... bizarre at best. How can this utter piece of crap been nominated for 6 academy awards??? How far has the movie industry come?? I guess they are running out of ideas. Apart from sequels and prequels and remakes they only seem to produce utter crap these days.",1
"POSITIVES:

1) Mark Rylance and Kenneth Branagh add necessary gravitas to the film 2) The film is superbly put together - the cinematography and the score are fantastic 3) Nolan definitely attempts to put his own spin on the 'war film' genre with the three different narratives taking place in three different time frames. The narrative entitled 'the sea' was by far the most compelling one for me, with terrific performances from Mark Rylance and Cillian Murphy

NEGATIVES:

1) There are definitely times in which the narrative entitled 'the mole' feels like it's dragging 2) Harry Styles was unnecessary, he's not a good actor 3) If you're an avid film fan like myself you've probably seen enough war films by this point that you've become desensitised to a lot of the themes of this film, because they're similar to the themes of every war film",7
"Rewatch. I rated The Dark Knight Rises (2012) 5/10. This just dosnt hold up. It's way all over the place & is just poorly written with tons of illogical plot points. It does have some decent action & good cinematography, but it can't save a shambling film.

Considering this is Nolan's ""worst"" movie, he has still had an amazing career run as a director.",5
"What is it with Oscar winning films, I just find them arty and pointless these days. I love some of tarantinos work, inglorious basterds was one of my favourites.

This film was watchable, but far from good or entertaining. It had it's odd moments, but then back to nothing.

I felt like it was going to get going any second, then it changed scenes and went flat again. It just didn't seem to go anywhere.

It didn't really have a storyline, just hinted at one. And dragged on quite a while at 2hrs 40 minutes. Most of it is silent nothingness.

Until the last 10 minutes which was the most entertaining, I thought ""oh here we go"". It was brief and then it ended.",5
"I am not a twelve year old girl so this movie didn't appeal to me. Cute is the best way to describe it. The sets and the locations were great. The acting was a bit stilted and underwhelming. The costumes, while beautiful but seemed a bit too clean and perfect. The Screen Play and the Directing IMO were the weakest links in this production. If you are going to watch it don't start with high expectations or you will be disappointed. It is on par with Anne of Green Gables and nothing more.",3
"I gave it 1 to balance this ridiculous 7.9/10. The story is so slow, exaggerated and drags out for 13 hours. This all could be done within 6 episodes. Also I was expecting that after 13 hours of torture I will get some conclusions, but no. We got season 2 and 3. I didn't watch them because there is no way I will waste another 30 hours of my life on this teenage nonsense. If you have to watch this just watch season 1 but keep in mind that its it milked so hard that nipples will bleed for days (like last season of prison break). I would not recommend this to anyone.",1
"How very disappointing. There was no compassion in the acting building no bond or emotion. High emotion was only achieved by the use of highly dramatic loud music. The continuity was extremely poor and the story well, was there one. I can only conclude that the people who really like this are connected to the Oscar academy committee or the film Institute. I'm not sure how the IMDB Calculator works but if they are adding up the scores properly this should not have an overall rating of more than five. It's two hours of your life you will never get back on a film that is too self-indulgent. I like Sam Mendes but I'm not related to him so it's best to tell the truth.",2
"A story about a con artist having the time of his life, tons of money, hot wife and all, till the payback time came. Oh yeah? That's too innovative to be true!

But even if Martin Scorsese haven't made his masterpiece four years ago, American Made would still not feel great. This typical story of a smug guy getting his hands dirty, just a bit at first, and, little by little, he's shoulder deep in some complex mess and has a hard time hiding cash in suitcases - it feels so overused that even the custom set of plot zigzags or the quirky little scenes don't transform it into anything you'd really wanna pay attention to.

It's hardly Tom Cruise's fault - after all, he's doing what he's always been doing, that is, smiling wide, talking smooth and emanating confidence. Neither it's the fault of any other cast member. Especially Caleb Landry Jones: this guy seems to be everywhere hot this season. And even if this movie will definitely not become the peak of his thespian career, the likes of Get Out and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri are an alibi enough.

Maybe we should simply admit that this film was never supposed to be anything great. Just a generic crime adventure with an already infamous ""based on real events"" stamp. To be great wasn't even the goal - to avoid being a failure was (mostly a box office one). But fear not: the sufficient amount of properties of a consumable product is here. Will it taste good? Probably not really. But who cares about taste as long as you don't make a scene and don't ask for a refund. Nothing personal, just business. That's what being American made is about after all, isn't it?",6
Only reason was giving 3 stars is because Mads acting was great. Would rate everything else poor. Mads played his part. Can't expect anything great from Bryan Fuller.,3
"Unpopular opinion - it's just another teen drama. That's objectively what it is. It's a story about the goth girl's adventures in a high school she's been moved to.

It's difficult to say that Jenna Ortega plays a wonderful piece, when in fact she keeps the same face expression through the entire episode... She doesn't appear scary, nor intriguing.

The series is not surprising, it's not particularly engaging and it's very predictable. The plot is very simple.

On the other hand I like pictures, montage and scenery. But that's not enough to give it more than 5/10 rating.

P. S. It's a very good series for teenagers or kids, but as an adult you might be struggling to find it entertaining.",5
"The kiddos and I had been looking for South Asian animation, and I happily stumbled upon this DVD. The animation has a bit of an 80s feel to it, but in a good way. It tells the story of the playful monkey (demi-)god Hanuman, a divine incarnation of Shiva (equal parts Christ and Hercules) who loses his way and has to find himself through service to Ram, and, more generally, the battle against the demons who threaten to take over the earth (but who present mostly as humans). The creators did not shy away with telling this epic story (from the Ramayana, I think) in all its paradox and tradition, and the result is a fascinating one, with a mix of light humor, fantasy, and battle (usually not too gruesome) which will appeal to many children.",8
It is a great show. That's it. It's just a great show. It's just great.,7
"Barbie is a very good start movie-try to popularize the feminism idea to normal people. Many people just lack a point or we can say a chance to touch such idea. After watching this movie, I realized that men all over the world love to be fathers and love to preach. Women, as the party being objectified, are always in the status of the object being stared at. When I saw ""Let me show you"" in the movie theater, all the girls laughed, and this kind of resonance for a long time was very exciting lol. The biggest surprise was the tribute to 2001 at the beginning of the film, which I loved. It is a good moral that civilization evolves when all women wake up.",10
"The story is great. Christian Bale was amazing it has some beautiful shots and few great scenes but they made it so ""american"" you can predict the next line",7
"Scrolling through the cast list on IMDB would suggest that this could be a good, dramatic thriller. Looking into the historical aspect and one would think, ""dang! There's a great film waiting to be made here!""

Instead, we get cameo after cameo and layering of complex things to appear ""intelligent"" again. This is becoming Hollywood's modus operandi lately: make things needlessly layered and difficult, and people will think it's ""great art"".

I finally had to leave at the halfway point. I gave it as much as I could, but it wasn't giving back... I have better things to do with my time and I'm getting real tired of current Hollywood. No wonder that 75% of my viewing lately is either foreign or old Hollywood. Screw this.",1
"I quite liked this movie. The story is a bit confusing as it bounces back and forth between the present and past for each character. Am I the only one who thought Ryan Reynolds girlfriend and The Doctor were the same person? They cast extremely similar looking actresses for those parts. But all in all, a fast paced, explosive movie as one would expect from Michael Bay with plenty of humor one would expect from Reynolds.",7
"This series has a mystery that gradually unfolds, and had my attention and interest from beginning to end.

The cast performs very well, with a fine actress I haven't seen before in Cynthia Erivo and others who fit their roles very well like Jason Bateman and Paddy Considine.

Unlike several other series that were cancelled too soon, this one has some closure and an epilogue at the end of the final episode.",8
"The Marvel movies have proven to be terrible re-watches so far with each of the issues apparent on first viewing only being more pronounced with a second viewing, and many more flaws cropping up along the way. If you're looking for decent special effects, then give this one a shot, but if you're looking for even acceptable filmmaking then look elsewhere as this film and its sequel are in the lower echelon of MCU films with the likes of Age of Ultron and Thor: The Dark World.

This film polarizes me greatly as there are moments that are great that are completely ruined by excessive and wholly inappropriate instances of tonal whiplash and embarrassing dialogue. Pym and his daughter have a very well-acted emotional exchange that is absolutely slaughtered by a lazy one-liner from Scott Lang. This is the most egregious bit of the film and it vastly overwhelms any other key moment the movie tried to have. Whenever I'm to think of Ant-Man, I'm brought back to this scene and I remember how great Michael Douglas is and how Marvel so aptly undercut and undid his efforts in these movies.

Bad movie.",3
Unusual and interesting. I got hooked from the first episode. Natasha Lyonne is perfect for this.,9
Nolan's inexplicable time jumping and terrible soundtrack does absolutely nothing to tell or enhance the story of Dunkirk. The reasoning Nolan gives seems pretentious and comes from a guy that desires to be thought brilliant or produce movies only for his own enjoyment. In the end it's simply a hot mess.,2
"I couldn't get past the chaos. Intentional or not, it ruined the film. I truly hated it. I think Sandler is very capable of non comedic Roles but I hated him in this.",2
No where felt that the movie is even a bit timepass. Kudos to Anurag Kashyap he is such na amazing filmmaker and of course nawaz and manoj were the best.,10
The plot is so contrived and idiotic. Terrible chemistry between castmembers. Don't bother with this show.,1
"One of the great pluses here is ""NH10"" didn't feel the need to wedge in a song & dance number like they do in 99% of Bollywood films. With it, I wouldn't have been able to sit all the way through. Generally, the acting isn't bad; kinda weak, though, in the male lead. I recommended this R film (profanity, violence) simply for the fact it told the story without a ridiculous forced song & dance number and it moved along swiftly.",7
I struggled a lot on whether or not to give it 10 stars. It may be a perfect season of television. I'm only giving it wiggle room in hopes of season 2 somehoq being better.,9
The first five seasons were excellent but then it started to go down hill little by little.,7
"this movie is amazing , its packed with action and complex story . this movie kind of reminded me of iron man 3 for some reason.from the beginning when the movie starts to the end you wont get bored at all. the Avengers first 45 minutes were boring but this movie does a great job keeping the audience entertained.the movie has a great plot.falcon and black widow made a huge difference ,if they weren't in the movie, Chris Evan would have had hard time ,but he is also great. I wish there was a bit more depth to the villains character.there were so many twists that even if you have to pee ,you wont go.This is my favorite Marvel movie, by now .Yes! even the Avengers and iron man 3.Anyways great movie .

must watch!",10
"It's the best western cartoon I've ever seen. The characters and story are amazing. I think other people have already said anything that I could say about it, so I'll leave it at that.",10
"The quality, the humor, and the writing of the movie is fun for a while. It's quirky and it's unique. When they get into the weeds and try to explore deeper themes, the movie is a miss. The middle expositional phase of the movie, I must say, is a bore.

The movie was so close to being great, but it was incapable of delivering a message without having a character literally give a speech worth of dialogue.

What could have been a great satire and what began as a cleverly funny movie turned into a preachy and moralizing movie in the end. But I guess the charm of the first half of the movie made up for the shortcomings.",6
"I can understand this movie having a lot of cultural importance with it being the first female-fronted big-budget superhero blockbuster since they took off; I'm glad that exists and that people really connected with that-I just wish it had been a good movie.

This is just Man of Steel all over again, but somehow with a lead that is even worse, and so much later that the clichés are even more insufferable. It really shows how late to the party DC was with this whole thing.

Wonder Woman is just a worse version of Captain America combined with the worst parts of Thor. The first Captain America movie really isn't all that good but every minute of this movie reminded me how much better it was done over half a decade earlier.

Diana has no arc in the movie-she is a bumbling buffoon who has no idea how the world works and doesn't listen to anyone but she is also an invincible god so everything works out fine for her, like in the infamous runway modelling scene, which is beyond laughable.

Add on top bad acting and editing, narration that is only present at the beginning and end of the movie, an over reliance on slow-mo, and WW1 sets that looked better and more believable in 1957 on a fraction of the budget.",2
"The film shows how deep the relationship between a human and an animal can be and how an animal turns a human from an animal back into a human. Such a film which should reach everyone, it remains buried in some corner. I consider myself lucky to have seen this film. Today where the feelings of human beings have ended in the society, this film is a priceless display of the feelings of an animal.",10
"After a superb set of opening credits that artfully recap the prequel, ""Spider-Man 2"" (""S2"") picks up two years after the original left off, although the elapsed time is barely noticed. Among the familiar characters, Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) is fighting through college and criminals; Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst) is starring in a Broadway play; and Harry Osborn (James Franco), who still blames Spider-Man for his father's death, is running OsCorp. The company is aiding Doctor Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina) in his attempt to create a form of fusion that produces perpetual energy. You can probably guess what soon happens.

As is often the case, this sequel has lost some of the novelty that carried the original. There are only so many ways Spidey can swing through skyscraper canyons, although a couple new twists do elicit oohs and aahs. In place of that originality are human emotions that expound upon what Peter was battling at the end of the first movie. As in the ""Batman"" films, this humanity makes ""S2"" better; in this case, better than the original.

Despite this humanity, and also addressing great movie themes like love, revenge, courage, and destiny, ""S2"" falls short of greatness, largely because of how those themes are addressed. Too often longish dialogue scenes are used to explain the inner conflicts of characters, rather than pictures and actions. The pace change isn't a problem, but the heavy-handedness is. Perhaps for once the audience was underestimated. We know that the Marvel comics are supposed to touch on themes beyond the action, and don't need them to be force-fed. Especially with a quality actor like Maguire, we can see the inner conflict, and that is enough. We don't need Aunt May's five minute speech filled with double meanings.

Peter's main issue is how to be ""normal"" while fighting crime. Primary amongst his concerns and the movie's plot is his love for MJ, because the ones he loves are constantly in danger from his enemies. But alas, due to the emphasis of the trite romantic story, the most interesting relationship of the movie, between Peter and Harry, is disappointingly (although understandably) under-developed. Young Osborn can't let go of his father's death. Because Peter is Spider-Man's personal photographer, their friendship is constantly strained, made more complicated by the plot progression. That is a very unique situation that I wish had been explored more deeply. But unfortunately, their relationship may not be further fleshed out until the third installment, which promises to be the best one yet.

I'm generally a fan of the superhero genre, but neither this movie nor its predecessor connected with me. Part of the reason is derived from the typical storyline. Not once during the course of the movie was I particularly surprised by anything. Part of the reason was Kirsten Dunst, whose performance in a cliché role wasn't bad, but wasn't good either. She tries just a bit too hard, as though in an objective role, attempting to nail the part, rather than be the part. My personal bottom line though is that Spider-Man simply doesn't do it for me. I can't fully explain it; that's just how it is. Fortunately the overall craftsmanship of the movie, including quality performances from Maguire, Franco, and Molina, is good enough to overshadow those issues.

Although not perfect, the special effects mesh nicely with the comic book nature that director Sam Raimi has created. The visuals add to the almost cartoonish edge without distracting from the reality. Danny Elfman (Men in Black) has again composed an excellent score for an comic-based movie. His syncopated tunes, rife with percussive orchestral notes, provides enjoyable background music while appropriately accompanying the action. In sum, the world of Spider-Man is now established, and all hands are very comfortable with their work, as evidenced by the uniform look.

Much like the original, ""S2"" is a good solid superhero movie, easy to watch and filled with action and melodrama. I didn't like it as much as many critics and fans, but I don't think you'll be disappointed if you spend $10 and two hours on ""Spider-Man 2"".

Bottom Line: Good, not great. Some will love it, but Spider-man just doesn't do it for me. 7/10.",7
"It's really kinda trash. Not funny. Wasted talent. Mocks it's target audience. Boring story and the worst performance by Taika Waititi I've seen yet. I'd pass. Also, the dude at the end... Really... This again. Not impressed.",3
"These days there are so many blockbusters that are heavily marketed, and we see the trailers ad nauseum before we get to see the film. Most of the time, the film turns out to be disappointing. I certainly felt that way about the first Spiderman.

Spiderman 2, however, is much more than your regular action hero film. We are too familiar with the Clarke Kent/Superman, Bruce Wayne/Batman identity dilemmas, and thought that another Peter PArker/Spiderman will be no different. But Sam Raimi explores this in a much more human and sympathetic way. Interestingly, the film seems to focus less on action, and more on the psyche of Peter PArker confronting his life and fate. Even though he is not as invincible as Superman, and not like Batman with his inexhaustible wealth and gadgets, Spiderman is more courageous and heroic in the way he deals with his problems, and the path he takes.

As before, the scenes of Spiderman swinging through the metropolis are stunning.

Dr Octopus is also a much more multi-dimensional baddie than Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin.

I loved this film and will definitely see it again many times over.",7
"Taught it's kids series initially but yah wait later felt it not only for kids , few episodes are super humorous and engaging . Though last seasons are not meeting the expectations . But but the concept is simple retrieval of proof of concept of jock itch becoming a monstrous and witchy devil.",8
"Storyline is too long, to much going on with three different timelines. Hard to keep up with all the info. And like Annie, just showed up, everyone's best friend and knows everyone and everything so well. Even though they didn't even tell her anything about Hannah situation, which the whole show is based on. But no, she knows everything so well... bad writing if you ask me...not looking forward to season 4.",8
"Completely failed to live up to the hype. The acting is fine and the singing is good, although the songs are a mixed bunch, but the story itself is tired and unoriginal. Surely, if you're going to make a remake of a remake it will be because you're got something new to say. Perhaps there was a lofty initial notion to comment on the price of fame, or on how banal manufactured pop stars are but, if so, that voice got lost along the way; much like Ally's did. I quite enjoyed the start but the slow pacing, monotonous gravelly voices and hackneyed story made me grateful for the ending, when it finally arrived.",5
"if you have seen black swan then you are going to watch it again but this time the main actor is male and instead of bale this time it is jazz or should say only drums !!! The acting is on the top that is for sure, but the plot is sometimes very unrealistic so it is difficult to believe what is going on !!! After time the music becomes annoying (I mean really annoying) The movie is a musical yes but that does not mean it has to have music all the time sometimes it is too long and drums are not to instrument that you want to listen all the time !!! Anyways for me it was another black swan movie which was a pointless boring movie, this movie was way better that black swan but still not a good movie !!! I gave it 2 out of 10 just because of the acting nothing else !!!",2
"When there is substance to this film, it really shines, however, you will find that a vast majority of the film is comprised of gratuitous shots of driving cars in the 70s. It feels as though Tarantino goes for an art-film almost, which, like I said, is not too friendly of a watch for a casual, average viewer. The ending and acting scenes are written incredibly well, but like I said, this film lacks substance at times, and likes to pander to notalgia. Arguably an art film, this is NOT for everyone. Watch only if you are an extreme film buff or a film studies major.",6
"An entirely adequate show that's come and gone without much remark or passion from either side of the camera, or the screen.

There's little to object to here, but nothing to enthuse about either. It's an absolutely straight (mostly) family friendly production of space adventure and survival.

Most episodes follow exactly the same pattern: a survival challenge which is overcome through spunky Spacemerican ingenuity, or (verging on literal) Deus ex machina, as the theme tune swells triumphantly. And everybody learns a lesson about the importance of family, again.

The characters are consistently written and all the cast do a decent enough job. Sets, cinematography, CGI, score, it's all competent.

None of it is brilliant though. There are essentially no memorable lines, nobody's character really develops, and as the seasons progress, it becomes clear that they've run out of ideas beyond ""Bad robots"".

The final season in particular feels both stretched and truncated, as they struggle to fill 8 episodes with a meagre plot, then end it all abruptly with an unsatisfying cop-out conclusion.

I made it all the way through, but was left wondering why I'd bothered.",6
Great cinematography. Best part for me was the first 15 minutes. The film loses a bit of steam in the final act but the journey to get there is enjoyable and technically brilliant.,7
"Amazing show, as if reading the books again. don't expect too much like game of thrones.. but that's exactly what we needed. great acting, superb locations, fun to watch, can't wait to see what happens next despite reading the books. its not filmed like other novels, which end up being a bad tv show due to poor acting and execution. both are done equally well. too bad they don't screen it here in my country. I will gladly pay to watch it. please put it on Netflix, amazon prime, or whatever.. don't want to pirate and destroy such a great show. being said that, the show creators can contact me ill PayPal/venmo you guys, as I accept i had to pirate it to watch it, sadly. please officially release it somewhere big..",10
Best screenplay....... bgm awesome.. movie of the year in indian cinmea..,10
Also holywood i know you all about stereotypes but please don't be lazy-cheap about cultural correctness. It's annoying.,6
"A wonderfully entertaining film -- and the story The Unmarried Mother tells is truly harrowing -- but, after some reflection, I suspect this works much better on the page than on screen.

In the original short story by Robert A. Heinlein, on which this film is based, I assume you're left to imagine how the characters of The Unmarried Mother and The Barkeep look and sound. But, once given a physical realisation on screen, it makes it difficult to suspend disbelief. (I can't say more without including spoilers.)

So this is a wild, entertaining and disturbing ride as you try to work out the relationship between the various characters. But at the end of the film you may look back and think that, for all that, it really doesn't work.",5
"I went through an array of emotions and expressions watching this film; most of them centred around how bizarre I thought it was, yet it was like a good book I simply couldn't put down even if the film itself lived up to its title at times.

This is by far the best work Bill Murray has done, and it will be a pleasant surprise for many to see him find a new (to me, anyway) side to his ability as an actor. He captures the role with such precision that you don't realise this is the same guy who, dare I even mention it in the same breath, provided the voice of Garfield last year. You see a few traces of his characteristic smugness every once in a while, but by and large the Bill Murray you see is a lot more serious... and seriously damned good.

It's such a simple story... unhappy married man meets unhappy married woman in a place neither of them are familiar with, and suddenly realise that they're all the other has got at least for the time being. In an age where Hollywood is trying (mostly unsuccessfully) to scare and shock us with something new at every turn, Sofia Coppola takes what should be the premise for a typical chick flick and turns it into something that anyone who has ever experienced an emotion of any description can watch and appreciate.

A brilliant film in any language.",6
"Quite liked the first John Wick movie but this on.....I couldn't even reach the end. Nothing against movie violence per se. Done well it's effective and appropriate but Reeves shooting dead anyone and everyone just became a tad tedious and a bit silly. A conveyor belt of gun toting assassin extras dressed in black despatched one after the other by the intrepid Keanu who iit appears suffers not a scratch - all that wood you'd think he'd have a few splinters at least.

Maybe it got better laterbut I was in no mood to find out. I like a good white hat/black hat movie where the the baddies get what's coming to them but watching cannon fodder lined up to be reevesed was just ridiculous and lacking in imagination. I'll take Denzel in Man on Fire/equalizer or Spencer Tracy in Bad Day at Black Rock over Wick 2 - style and wit over a mountain of dead extras. Even Liam Neeson and Jason Statjam 'kill em all' movies had a bit of context. Just didn't care about this one enough to pick a side",2
"The script is very good, kind of break the conventional superhero story, give audience some surprise. but the box office is not as other dc superhero so high, i guess relate to promotion not high enough, and most asia not so familiar dc shazam comic.

finally see a dc movie can be near to catch up marvel movie level.

may relate to budget limit, the final action fight design on the demon vs the kids, really too simple and not so make sense.

anyway, looking forward to watch shazam 2!!",6
"I just watched Free Guy, and it's a good thing I got it with a discount for $1.99 total because otherwise I'd ask Ryan Reynolds himself for a refund, it was so bad.

The amount of exposition it regurgitates over and over again is offensive to any intelligent life form, and the main villain, a software company creator, is terrifyingly stupid. All that hashed with the now-boring Reynolds routine and excessively predictable plot makes this barely a 2/10 (there are 3-5 genuinely funny bits that last seconds).

I understand the video game world part had to be pre-packaged and served up for an average moviegoer-type to understand, so not even going to touch that subject.",2
"Do you know a really good comic movie ? I really have problems to remember anyone. Batman was bad (especially Batman and Robin), Spawn was harmless, Hulk was not that good, X-Men is improving, but hardly has reached a decent level yet.

So Spiderman seems to be the only really good comic movie ever. And the second movie might be even better than the first one. I really have hated the first one for its bad ending, but the second one fixes it for me.

Both movies brilliantly combine small, actorcentered scenes with big effects and action. Again Ken Parker, the Spiderman, has a lot of personal troubles to handle. The movie contains a lot of nice scenes and jokes, but of course also the big hunt of another supercriminal.

This is the best comic movie known to me, and a very good piece of entertainment.",10
"Season 1, as everyone agrees, was excellent and if this was a review of only that one I'd have given it a ""10"". Unfortunately, season 2 was such a chaotic mess that one of two things must have happened.

(1) The writers didn't know what they were doing, panicked and wrote a bunch of confused, thoughtless junk in the hope that ""professional"" critics would mistake it as artistic and meaningful. Reading some of the reviews from said critics it seems it worked.

(2) I slipped into one of the alternative timelines where they didn't show any of the versions of series 2 that were really good and made sense.

Oh well. We'll always have season 1.",5
"Ha!

Seriously though, the ending was truly beautiful.

Especially considering the journey, which was harrowing and poignant, that while not completely unpredictable, was subtle and nuanced to distract you from it until the story was concluded.

At which point all the layers were laid out for you to leisurely pick which one touched your nerve the most at that moment, then put down and pick another as the events of all 7 episodes washed back over your like a warm ocean wave, reassured in the knowledge that it can lap at your waist for all time, if you chose to let it.

Great direction, writing, acting or support alone doesn't achieve, only great co-operation.

A sincere and heartfelt thankyou to all who worked on this from a humble viewer.",8
I definitely don't know what all the fuss is all about?! This film does not deserve an Oscar! Just another senseless hype!,4
"First, this is my first movie review on IMDB, I created an account just to review this.

Second, I am a HUGE Leonardo DiCaprio fan and a love QT's movies. Django is my favorite western and one of my top 10 favorite action films and I thoroughly enjoyed Inglorious Bastards. He always finds a way to fuse a solid plot with fun over the top violence that always make me laugh like a giddy school girl, things like the Bar scene in IB and the final action scene in Django come to mind.

I went to see this movie the first week it was out and was extremely excited. I went alone because the people I normally see movies with said it looks boring. All I could think is, Brad Pitt + Leo + Margot + QT has to equal an amazing film that no doubt will be a new favorite of mine if it follows any of QT's previous films.

Then I saw the movie... I waited for 3 hours for something to happen, and outside of the final 5 minutes, it was one of the most boring and dull movies I've ever seen. I nearly walked out halfway through. It was extremely disappointing and I want to like it so much, but I can't.

As someone who loves cinematography and always looks for good lighting and acting in films I wasn't necessarily let down in this regard, it was okay, nothing like Django though. Brad and Leo did a great job in the acting, and I wish they would have given Margot more screen time, she didn't really give much to the film... mind you she is one of my favorite actresses so this isn't something I say lightly.

I almost felt like Quentin was trying to ""prove himself to hollywood"" by showing off what he can do and knows about the good 'ol LA days, but I think he lost a lot of what makes him such an amazing Director. It was lacking the action, the plot, and so much more.

I'd give it a 2 or 3 stars if it wasn't for good acting and cast, so I guess I'll settle for 4 stars.",4
"I didn't expect too much from that movie, but it got me from the start. The story had its holes even at the beginning, but it was a tolerable level. The tension could be maintained to the end, but the end was truly disappointing and probably the biggest hole in the plot. Still recommended for its solid entertainment. Definitely one of the better Netflix originals.",7
"I don't know why this movie got Oscar, seriously movie has incomplete story and weak story. Director didn't use the concept properly and sone parts of movie ar still mystery. Very poor direction.

Thriller part come at Last and it's also not interesting. This movie can be good if they use concept properly with proper direction. In starting face it's story is very predictable. I don't know why Oscar selector choose this movie. This movie is not eligible for nominations. I literally don't have trust on Oscar after this movie. Can't believe that it's IMDb rating is 8.6. Weak story and poor direction can't win Oscar.",3

"Dragon Ball Z was the first anime I ever watched, setting the standard for what anime is like and what it should be. I've gone on and watched more anime since, and that standard has long since been surpassed. Nevertheless, Dragon Ball Z will always hold a special place in my heart.

Despite this, Dragon Ball Z is still far from great. The length is my biggest issue. Maybe its just me, but I like to be done a series in twenty episodes. Of course, I make plenty of exceptions, but that's my preference. At the time, I thought all anime was just one hundred plus episodes and that I just had to deal with it. Either way, Dragon Ball Z is just too long. The fights drag on and never change, and by the end of an episode I always feel like nothing has been accomplished (and this happens a lot). I was rarely excited by the fights because of this, and that really took away from the enjoyment of watching them.

The show's story isn't great either. Sure, this is a show about fighting, but it never changes. Apparently every evil alien in the universe has the same life goal in mind. The show starts to get really stale by the second story arc.

The characters for the most part are done well enough. The only major growth seems to be in physical strength, but occasionally we get a character like Vegeta who shows incredible development through all nine seasons, making him the real star of the show. Still, his character struggled in terms of life goals, considering it never changed.

Overall Dragon Ball Z is a classic example of a really, really long anime. In the end, I wouldn't say it was worth it. I wouldn't suggest you watch this show (unless you've already started it/watched it). It's not that it's bad or anything, it's just not worth it in the end. Sure, Vegeta's journey throughout the show is great, but in the grand scheme of things, it wasn't worth it. Despite my rating, I wouldn't recommend Dragon Ball Z. But if you want to watch it still, then go right ahead. It's better then plenty of other shows that I've seen, but easily worse then a lot of others. If you loved it, then I can respect that, but it just wasn't my cup of tea.",7
"Season 1 was super awesome , the one you will love to recommend to your friends and family. And there was no need to go for season 2, must have ended on this peak note. But yes ! When u smell money you go ahead and ruin what you have created in season 1.

"Steven Soderbergh's indie hit about the tangled relationships among four people and a video camera, was a sensation at the 1989 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Palme d'Or and an award for James Spader as best actor. It went on to revolutionise the independent film movement of the early nineties. Soderbergh conceived the film over a year but wrote the script in just over a week (apparently on a yellow legal pad whilst on a cross country road trip). It is light on action and heavy on chat, and has probably been overhyped, it is the type of movie people like to name check at dinner parties just to show how on the pulse they are. Soderbergh originally wanted Elizabeth McGovern to play the role of the sexually reluctant Ann, but her agent apparently hated the script so much that she never even got to read it. The part went to Andie MacDowell instead, who impressed after two successful auditions. In 2006 the movie was selected and preserved by the United States National Film Registry as being deemed as culturally significant. Sex, Lies and Videotape has also been adapted into a stage play, and the 2002 movie Full Frontal was originally conceived as an unofficial sequel of sorts.",6

"As a fan of Henry Cavill, I came into this wanting to enjoy it, but then the 1st episode hit me like a rock, a very boring, very confusing rock. There was zero logic, zero proper introductions, zero character developments whatsoever. Characters just briefly appear, start spewing confusing pretentious dialogues, and then the episode ends. I have no idea why they act the way they do and they disappear before I can form any meaningful memories.

And this problem with poor writing persists throughout the next episodes, affecting even the main characters. I find myself amazed at how this show manages to run so many concurring story-lines yet fails to make me care about any of them.

There was Yennefer's part for example. I understand that the writers want me to feel sorry for her and empathize with her misfortune, but how am I supposed to feel anything when the only things she does for half of the season are demanding stuff and acting angry?

Same with other characters. Nothing they do makes me feel touched or sympathize with their cause. Without proper introduction and exposition, they all look like petulant children trying too hard to look tough.

And with no characters worth caring about, going through episodes feels like a real chore. Occasionally there will be some captivating scenes, such as the wedding in episode 4, but those are few and far between.",5
Watched the film yesterday and it felt like I was watching an international movie like parasite or city of god.....so many sub plots and such an unusual way of storytelling....and the acting by the kids is just superb....never seen such raw and rusty film in a long time....such a Masterpiece omg.

However, this little fact has changed my entire perception of the show. From that point, it was just an average show -it wasn't especially suspensful, it wasn't funny, no major plot twist considering its a fiction. Same with major characters...I did not develop any major bond or care for them, they were just characters... I consider it only a weaker copy of Sam Esmail's Elliot in Mr. Robot. 6/10 for Anya Taylor Joy.",6

"This was an enjoyable thriller. Not great, but also good enough where did not feel like I wasted my life. I liked that for the most part the actors 'stayed in their lane' and acted accordingly to their characters. Too often certain characters, especially villains, will act way-over the-top which has zero believability. This story moves along and does a couple of twists but all within the framework of the story. I probably would have shorten the series by two hours and reduce some filler material that did not impact the story. I do appreciate that the director/writer chose to do scenes that had outcomes very different from most Hollywood movies.",6
"Okay, i don't know how this movie got such good reviews i don't get it. First the fighting scenes are annoying because the camera moves too much and you can barely see what they' re doing. Second for GOD SAKE this tow words "" FEAR "" and "" AFRAID "" are almost half of the script , no kidding they say those words more than 50 times on the movie it is really annoying !!!! Oh and do not forget those movement of batman, he basically have the same powers than superman, there are some scenes where he is flying , you don't see him using his stuffs. Katie Holmes had a good acting , even if in half of the time you see her she is like crying or about to. Besides those things the movie has a good story , and the guy that did Batman did good , even if i don't see him as a batman his acting was good. Oh and one more thing God! did you noticed how his voiced changed when he was batman and when he was Bruce when he is batman he has a deep scaring voice and when he is Bruce he has a normal kinda of gay voice. That doesn't really fit",6
"I get it, I do. I get the reason this film was hyped up. Beyond all the reasons why, though. This was a poor superhero movie all round.

I haven't got much to say on it other than it was massively overhyped by critics and was a big disappointment.",4
"Their are no words to justify how great this movie is, it is not just a movie its once in a lifetime experience, no movie this great can be made again, not even by same makers , it is above masterpiece, acting, direction, music , emotions , afterall the honest effort put in reflects in it .

THOUGH THE SHOWS OF THIS MOVIE ARE VERY LESS ESPECIALLY IN HINDI , but my friend wherever you find it must go.",10
"A company owner would rather destroy his computers / servers / assets with an axe than turn them off by flipping a switch, or by unplugging them.

That's how this film understands technology.

Although an obvious example that anybody would notice, it's just one from a bottomless pool. And it's not the only way in which the script is dreadful. And the writing isn't the only flaw of this turkey.

Mountains of cringe.

I rate 1 point above the standard Hollowood garbage because several of the jokes do land.",4
"""The Shape of Water"" has four speeds: slow, slower, slowest and reverse. The film could lose one half hour. Towards the middle of the film the viewer becomes annoyed at its snail's pace.

The story is original. The acting is excellent. If ""The Shape of Water"" is termed a horror film, it is because the viewer must sit through an extra 30 minutes of boring torture.

How did this movie receive so many nominations and awards, including the Academy Award for ""Best Picture of the Year""? Director Guillermo del Toro is apparently Hollywood's current golden boy.",4
Don't pay attention to low ratings...some people are still on mindless boycott spree and seems to have no taste in cinema whatsoever. The movie is absolutely great and leaves you warm and smiling. I enjoyed the subtle underlying philosophy in every story. All the actors did justice to their parts. It is arguably one of the best Indian movies I watched in 2020.,10
"This was supposedly (according to the descriptions in IMDB) loosely based on how Steven Spielberg developed his interest in film and movie-making. The first half of the movie addressed that well and was interesting. Particularly the storyline involving Seth Grogan. Once his character left, the movie's tone changed significantly.

The second half of the movie saw the focus shift to the disfunction of the Jewish Fabelman family and their move to California. The tone then shifted from movie making to Sammy's nutty mom, and. Sammy's own difficulty in high school, specifically with two raciest schoolmate bullies who looked to be in their 20's (as did many of the extras who portrayed high school students), and a Jesus-believing hypocritical Christian girl who the non-Jesus believing Sammy falls in love with. Taking cheap shots at Christians seems to be getting common in Hollywood these days, and this movie is no exception!

Point is the second half of the movie went off track and, except for a couple of situations, rarely addressed Sammy's growth in moviemaking and became more of a family soap opera. Which was disappointing.

Still, the acting in it was very good, particularly from the Fabelman kids and Paul Dano, who was fresh off his role as the psychotic Riddler in ""The Batman"", a 360 degree role reversal. Michelle Williams, however, will probably get all of the attention, and very possibly an Oscar nomination, even though her acting was over the top at times. But still very good. So the story overall was good, filmed nicely, and acted very well. Worth a look. But I'd recommend a matinee.",7
"My review of doctor strange the multiverse of madness:

Firstly this film was a sequel to the TV series Wandavision which some people may not have watched. It was focused too much on Wanda rather than doctor strange so might as well have been a Wanda film. Doctor strange was just there. This is disappointing because the first doctor strange strange film was good and I really liked his character but this film wasn't about him at all.

Secondly the plot was awful and pacing of the film was all over the place. The multiverse was barely featured in this film let alone being mad. They could have done so much more with the multiverse, with the TV series building up around the idea something is wrong with the multiverse but this never happened.

Thirdly, the acting was bad and and there was no character development. America is a random character who I won't go into depth about as it is spoilers.

Good points about the film: Very good soundtrack (won't go into depth to avoid spoilers) and very much in the directorial style of Sam Rami including the CGI which was just like drag me to hell.

Overall: disappointing film don't watch. It doesn't add anything to the bigger picture of the MCU. Only one detail is actually significant but not really that important in the grand scheme of things. 3/10 would not recommend to a friend.",3
Amazing Movie!!!!! It is far better than any other shitty Bollywood movies we see nowadays....we should encourage such movies....and this movie is brilliant.,10
"Kareena was mindblowing in the film as she got the best actress filmfare award 1 dont know how many times I saw this film......still love to watch this beautiful film any time.. It's a time less legacy film... after 50 to 100 yrs people will still be watching this film... such a good feel film All the best to imtiaz ali...shahid Kapoor and kareena. The most beautiful movie ever seen...Kareena's d bst performance. Fabulous songs especially Yeh Ishq Haaye n her gracious moves its a delight 2 watch.

One of the movie, i absolutely enjoyed. Her expressions give goosebumps. The most iconic character Bollywood has ever produced played flawlessly by the most beautiful and talented superstar of Bollywood.",10
"Just good for family, funny movie and not so funny",5
If it entertains a while but it is not very good. I also recommend it for those who have not seen it.,7
"This is one of those shows that maybe as a whole is not that solid but the brilliant moments are worth the entire run.

Hiddleston and Di Martino give solid performances, one with all the chops that come from playing the same character for over 10 years and the other as a fresh addition to the Marvel roster.

The most surprisingly amazing performances are definitely by Owen Wilson and Richard E. Grant with Wilson giving some very subtle nuances and expressions that only a top-rated actor can give and Grant being able to pull off a classic Loki costume with such grandeur and looking so badass while doing so that only makes us wonder on the ""What could have been""

Even if sometimes the show goes off the rails with some nonsensical, non-canonical stuff like Loki (a frost giant) feeling a little chilly, it compensates in what has to be the most unexpected set of tears in TV history when the Classic Loki storyline comes to a conclusion.

With easter eggs galore, this show is definitely worth a watch for all MCU fans.",9
"I don't know the true story behind the incident we only believe what the media shows us. Well, comparing to others its just over rated.",6
"The style of this movie was very interesting, the colour pallete and cinematography were amazing. The story was very weird, it felt too unrealistic, but not enough to count as a fairytail, quite bland to be honest, can't really retell what happened in it with detail.",5
"The way four stories have been crossed over with each other is a fine example of how good Anurag is, a must watch!!",10
"Having read the books and played the game I was so looking forward to the show. At first sceptical about the casting of Henry Cavill my doubt was erased after the first episode, he is the perfect Geralt. Episode 1 was a little slow and hard to get into but the second episode packs a punch and gets you hooked so don't give up! A great show to binge watch, can't wait for season 2.",9
The theme is not my normal go to but a few episodes in and I was hooked. Great SYFY fantasy.,9
"I liked this movie, It reminded me of the 80s classic ""Witch board"" movies but using a hand instead of a board. It is one of the better horror movies of today, that's for sure. Good acting, good story and worth watching. The ending was a bit predictable but there could and should be a part 2. There needs to be more modern day horror movies which look like 80s classics. The 80s is where good horror/supernatural movies happened and Talk To Me fits right in there. It has got to be the best Australian horror movie I have watched. More of these type of movies is what is needed. I watched through the end credits as you never know if an extra scene might be in there but to save you time, there is nothing there :)",7
"Just finished watching the show. Usually I always tell people to watch one or two episodes to digest. This series, watch as many as you can since the poor development(or rather hasty) of characters will confuse you. This is no GoT. But this series offers big big interests and intriguing story line. I have played witcher game long time ago that I don't even remember what it was about. Watched the series without reading the book. Action choreography is impressive, actors and actresses are awesome. Editing... quite alright. Time line skewing I loved... the improvements are needed in characters. Maybe Netflix needs to spend little more episodes in terms of explaining characters. It feels very hasty in turning characters' nature or choices that will not explain motives or intentions. When you finish watching it, you will want some more actions. But less characters in your loving heart than GoT. I welcome Netflix's efforts of offering excellent fantasy piece. I hope the next season gets better.",8
"I was expecting so much maybe.

The only thing I like is when Ruth appears and we felt the connection mother daughter and when we used to play together.

The cast was good but the movie so randomly weird, non sense, nothing you would expect from such a cool director.

Visuals ok, but come on, it is such a waste of time and money.

The argument gets totally lost, there is no line to follow up.

Without Gosling or Robbie this movie would be one of the worst in history.

Pretty interesting you can see all the barbie types, all the Ken too but to be honest, in our times we need more content. This movie only reminded me why is so hard to be a woman and perfection expected.",1
"For this reading keep in mind I'm halfway through EP2 at this point. Also this kind of series is the type I adore to watch always.

I'll reserve judgement until later but GOOD GOD who decided upon the production decision to make the ENTIRE first episode about ""a before the events of this series"" little girl episode?

The entire series is supposed to be about Anya Taylor Joy as a chess player with mental issues. Yet rather than a carefully curated 10-15 minute explainer of how she was as a child.

We get a full blown repetitive and extremely dry 1 hour episode of her being a pill popper as a child. This is the introduction that is supposed to keep viewers hooked?

I'm stunned at the idiotic decision makers who thought that was a great way to introduce a fairly cerebral TV miniseries to the audience. I'll keep watching to see if it improves but the first episode is undeniable horse droppings. How they thought the first EP would draw anybody in to want to watch more is beyond my understanding.",6
"Starts off, and for some time, as a decent, tense, suspenseful, quasi- horror, flick. That eventually by the end loses its suspense, and becomes a less then satisfying story. In fact, it becomes quite inane. Honestly folks its not as good as its 8.1 suggests. Though I must admit I do enjoy watching Glynehall do his eye blinking thing. Seriously, it's a pretty interesting performance.

.",4
"It's bad, every character and theme was a well loved trope. And i mean WELL LOVED. The characters could have fit into any plot. It hits all the must haves: comic relief best friend, romance, morally good protagonist that isn't driven by the monetary... But its so badly done, don't watch it.

Rated it 3 stars because the comic relief side character was funny sometimes

Xoxo.",4
"The story seems to be focused more on the teen drama aspect rather than some grander narrative like The Boys. Though there is this backdrop narrative centering around the teens finding answers to some secret experimentation program in their school, it's put more on the backburner to focus on the fact these are still stupid kids making their way through life. Put plainly, imo, it's very boring as it tries desperately to make you care about these characters through emotional teen drama and heartfelt conversations that you'd imagine two aspiring tik tok stars to have. ""Like... the world is soooo cruel, ya know girl?"", ""Yeah forreals... I just wonder like... if there's a life after this and stuff. Are we more than ourselves, ya knoooow?"" Crap like that. I feel like a lot of young teens will like this show and perhaps that's the target audience, despite the very grotesque scenes lol.

Speaking of which, a lot of the gore, sex, vulgarity etc seems like it's there more for shock value than anything else. Imo, The Boys franchise is starting to suffer from the same superhero fatigue effect when it comes to its shock value gore scenes. They just seem to be trying too hard to shove something in your face every 10 minutes that supposedly will make you go, ""OH MUH GOSH!"" But... idk, I've just come to find it silly at this point. It's so over the top, it almost seems desperate on the writer's part. Early GoT only utilized gore to serve its narrative purpose when appropriate with the story leading into the situation appropriately. Most of the stuff here is just oddly thrown in there to make it as gory and grotesque as possible, when it's obvious there were other ways the situation could've been conveyed or directed without needing to do some over the top dramatic gore / sexual shock value scene. All and all, I'm just left with the feeling that if you took away all the 18+ shock value scenes, you'd have a mid CW superhero show focused on boring teens.",6
"If you can completely suspend all previous knowledge of basic physics, mechanical comprehension, common sense and logic you might dig it. I get that it's fiction but come on -they need to try a bit harder. Weak AF",3
"This episode got me hooked on the show while showing how good oscar issac is as an actor aswell as still leaving some unanswered questions. The first episode was very fast paced and sometimes a little to jumpy but thats what i think the creators are going for, a fast paced mystery hero which is fine by me. All and all its not a 1 or a 10 and the first episode of a show is rarely good enough to break a 7 for me but i could see the last couple episodes getting close to a 8 and maybe if it does very well a 9! Good start to the show!",7
"MOON KNIGHT, starring Oscar Isaacs, sees the universe & hits its stride with a grounded psychological thriller that stays true to Egyptian mythology. The central plot revolves around delivering Fincher-Esque character portrayals & spine-chilling action. We follow the journey of mild-mannered Museum gift-shop clerk Steven, who suffers from regular hallucinations & can't tell the difference between his waking moments & dreams, in a story arc that closely follows the comics. As the plot progresses, we learn that he suffers from DID, with his body housing an alter-ego in the American mercenary Marc Spector as well as the avatar of the Egyptian God KHONSU, who moonlights as the vengeful vigilante the MOON KNIGHT.

Mohamed Diab, the showrunner, ensured comic-book accuracy while never sacrificing narrative zing, weaving a meandering tale of psychological angst, deep-rooted childhood trauma & international intrigue as the episodes progressed at breakneck speed. While the constant switching between Oscar Isaac's multiple personalities is initially disconcerting, it creates a jigsaw-puzzle storytelling structure that keeps the audience engaged in trying to piece together what happened. The Golden Globe-nominated actor demonstrates that he's a true chameleon, effortlessly shifting from one personality to another, with different accents, intonations, mannerisms & body language for each.

May Calamawy is fierce & flamboyant as Layla, Marc's love interest, while Ethan Hawke, as the villainous Arthur Harrow, dominates every scene he's in. Murray F. Abraham's mesmeric baritone & witty banter flesh out the scheming Egyptian God KHONSU's personality. The haunting background score by Hesham Nazih adds layers of mysticism & gravitas to the narrative & what the MOON KNIGHT lacks in sheer scale is more than compensated for by the performances on display. MOON KNIGHT is a visually appealing entry in Marvel's Phase 4's new darker, broodier & more horror-themed section.

With a massive sting in the tail near the end of the finale episode, the creators leave you in shock & confusion, with a deep yearning for Season 2. Can't wait!",8
"I'm a big fan of the witcher books and games. First of all henry cavil nailed it as the witcher. The other cast were good too. The series shines in parts. The main problem with the series is the pacing. It was so boring at times. It felt incoherent, like something was missing.",6
"A real struggle to watch. To all the people saying why review 20% of the show, well that is all I'm going to be watching because it was painfully boring and packed full of cringe. My name is Earl did the ""stuck in a sitcom"" idea much better.",3
"I want to start by saying I recommend this movie. It is at times funny, but mostly just amusing, it also has some very serious moments as well, which were good. The cast is also great, especially the boy who is the main character.",7
"Written post Oscars.

This film had a lot of press pre Oscars, so I made sure I watched it before the awards. I really wanted to like this film. Michelle Yeoh is a superb actress. Jamie Lee Curtis is brilliant. However, this is a multiverse film and if, like me, you don't understand this concept then don't waste your time watching it. I enjoyed the acting. It was superb. It was great to see Short Round all grown up. I understand the bit about love, families, choices. But it was such a disappointment and I was thankful I didn't waste my money seeing it at the cinema. I was bored and couldn't wait for the credits to roll.",4
"I haven't been so excited about a tv show since a while! I love the way it's filmed, the actors, the story and the feeling of modern mixed with historical. OMG I looove this show, they better not cancel it! They better keep this one around, it wouldn't make sense to cancel. This is a good show unlike a lot of crap shows out there still airing.",10
"Is this one of the best films ever? I think that only De Niro is the unique reason to watch the film. It is dark and boring, without a remarkable plot. I just read that Jodie Foster was nominated for an Oscar of the best actress in a supporting role. I can't believe it! It must be a great joke! An Oscar nomination for a total appearance of 14 minutes? For a total dialogue of 5 minutes? I'm so disappointed with myself because I don't realize the majesty of cinema art...",4
The show is entertaining. But Karen Page is really annoying. Im talking about the actress not the character. Would have given a higher score if it wasn't for her.,6
"This movie is a beautifully-photographed pile of nothingness. My friend and I both fell asleep during it in the theater. There's a story, I guess, but it is so empty that it never leaves the ground. Why this movie is in the top 250, I will never know. I've heard plenty of people call it ""Genius"" and ""The Best film of all time"". WHY?? (1)Because it has the name 'Coppola' on it, and (2) Because it taps into ""that universal loneliness that we all feel"" (whatever...) (3) Because it was backed by incompetent producers. Jeez, the least you coulda done, Sophia, is included a scene where Murray and Johannssen get into bed together! I was lucky enough to run into the exec. producer of this ""film"" at a coffee shop the week it opened. He proudly spread open the newspaper saying, ""Go see this little feature that we're all so proud of."" Get real, Mr. Fred Roos. If you were a decent producer, you'd have made sure this was pulled before it ever opened. This is one film that really has had a polar reaction - you totally love it, or you totally hate it. Unfortunately, I have to go with the latter. I think you have to be as morbid as the film itself in order to like it.",1
Brilliant show. No faults. The three main cast members - two comedy legends and another surprisingly (to me as I hadn't seen her in anything before) great actor. Can not wait for season 2. Never even saw this advertised before watching just stumbled across it on Disney. Why was a bigger deal not made of this?,10
"Movie was easy to follow and had a good dose of comedy. The special effects were executed very nicely, but what else do you expect from a Michael Bay movie",7
"I think this is one of a series of Glass Onion movies - as I remember watching something similar before. Great cast - they seem to have pulled a lot of talent into this one. Kind of a movie that you can relax to with a couple drinks just to enjoy the infusion of comedic scenes.

Funny interaction of character archetypes that they get into the history of a little bit. A motley mix of people who came together and amplified their level of success in respective pursuits, but still very different from one another which maybe adds a bit to the tension throughout the film.

Would recommend as a late night movie to watch once the kids are down.",10
To my surprise (Spielberg) the film was soul less in spite of impressive visuals that at the same time were the films undoing. All these references were too much. Lost interest..,3
"the matrix is a simple conspiracy/messiah story with stunning special effects.

the acting was wooden and the lack of any real twists or surprises left it to the effects to keep my attention.",3
"A curious film opportunistically rather than convincingly assembled from a medley of genres. Its title announces that here will be the creation story for its subject, and sure enough, just as Peter Parker was bitten by a spider, young Bruce Wayne is startled by a swarm of bats. Hey, I think I'm getting the hang of this. Batman's sidekick Robin doesn't figure in this movie, but if and when we are introduced to him in the inevitable sequel I'm expecting a homage to Hitchcock's The Birds.

Young Bruce's dad is such a nice man that you just know that he is going to meet an untimely end, and he duly does. The grief-stricken Bruce grows up and goes out into the world seeking to understand the criminal mind. Apparently not finding enough examples in America, he ends up on a mountaintop somewhere in the Orient, where he imbibes ancient wisdoms huskily intoned by Liam Neeson in a Charlie Chan moustache. In a blur of rapid editing, Bruce becomes some kind of martial arts master. Later Neeson conveniently doubles as the movie's chief villain, proving that you don't actually have to be Oriental to be inscrutable and duplicitous. We Asians should, I suppose, be grateful for small mercies.

The grown Bruce is played by Christian Bale, whose resemblance to a young George W. Bush is uncanny and disturbing, not least in the furrowed blankness he assumes when trying to look serious. It's a relief when he dons the mask and cape (evidently not heeding Edna's warnings in The Incredibles) and collects his crime-fighting gadgets. The latter are supplied by Morgan Freeman, who in effect plays Q, adding to the growing impression that this movie is basically 007 in drag.

The movie plays itself out in a tumult of smoke, raking lights and shadows. In the manner of this genre, the script is liberally sprinkled with references to personal integrity, filial loyalty, and the nature of evil in society. Some superhero movies successfully weave these themes into their stories, as Bryan Singer's X-Men movies do. But here style is never sculpted into substance, and the villains remain as unmemorable as the heroes.

Katie Holmes is the love interest and supplies the theme of romantic abnegation that the movie shamelessly borrows from the Spiderman franchise. Gary Oldman turns in solid work as the honest cop, this time cunningly disguised as Ned Flanders. Michael Caine, himself once the supreme dispenser of ironic justice, is now content to play the faithful butler. Cillian Murphy, however, is well cast as one of Batman's adversaries, and shows that Elijah Wood has not cornered the market in wimpy fiends.

I expected more from the director of Memento. Not long ago I saw a movie featuring another troubled hero who must straddle the world of ordinary life and the dark underworld of crime, and must in the process face down his own lineup of campy villains. It was called A History of Violence, and it is a much better film.",6
"It is the best hero tv series clearly. Scenario, acting and story are awesome. Also the intro part is another thing. Only intro I watch in tv series including Got",9
"First of all, this so-called ""Knives Out"" might just be a goofy remake of ""Gosford Park (2001)"", even all the characters were almost alike. But the 2001 movie is more original, this 2019 one is so mediocre and generic. From 2001 to 2019, there are so many movies, screenplays, scenarios and plots that the screenplay writer(s) could borrow, steal and copycat into their ""Knives Out"" script. So~~~ The big magnetic disk of knives was copycatted from GOT's throne. The boring, formulaic and deadbeat humorless dialog, the storyline, the scenarios and the plot were heavily copycatted from those BBC's ""Masterpiece"" and ""Mysteries"" dramas, most were written, scripted and adapted from a bunch British housewives kitchen writers with poor logic and reasoning. Then, The two police detectives were extremely poor cast, one clown, the other one, a greenhorn. They didn't look and act like seasoned plain-clothe detectives. There's no way these two guys could even be qualified as entry-level uniformed patrol cop, albeit for being senior plain-clothe detectives. It's a joke and insult to the police system. Daniel Craig's role in this movie is the biggest joke, totally unnecessary, albeit another wrong cast, but since the screenplay writer(s) of this heavily copycatted movie needed to harvest all the roles of those existing movies and their existing screenplays so readily available to them when they wrote their script for ""Knives Out"", they simply could not include those obvious, already-there free chows, so they just copied everything available and threw into their mix. Another character borrowed and capycatted from those typical BBC British detective crap, so-called DCI, detective inspector or some other titles. When two American detectives investigated a suspicious murder case and questioned all the family members one by one, you think a civilian P.I. would be allowed to sit nearby those two low I.Q. American police detectives? And what's the purpose of asking him to speak with a southern accent? All the family members in this farce were like cartoon's caricatures with dramatic exaggerated acting, talking, facial expressions, gestures....none of them looked natural and realistic enough, just gave a strong impression that they were trying very hard to mimic those characters in BBC's ""Mysteries"" and ""Masterpiece"". Spent so much money, signed up so many Hollywood talents, but ended up so inferior if compared to ""An Inspector Calls (2015)"". Just don't know how and why so many viewers are so excited with high praises. I rest my case.",1
"I am very surprised that THE HURT LOCKER won an Academy Award for best picture, which just goes to show, I guess, that I have too much faith in the system! Although this film does manage to create a genuine feeling of suspense and stress in the viewer, repeatedly brought along to participate in the defusing of massively destructive bombs, that is where the value of this depiction of war ends. I appreciate that Bigelow wanted to show what a tough job the grunts on the ground have, while steering clear of overt critiques of this particularly vexed context, an illegal war and occupation which themselves generated the very danger against which soldiers find the need to defend themselves. However, her good intentions aside, I feel that she ended by doing a disservice to the soldiers.

The main protagonist is some sort of Evil Knieval thrill seeker, of questionable sexual orientation--he has no attraction for his wife and tries to ""ride"" one of his fellow soldiers as a bucking bronco of sorts--I am sorry, but the selection of this character as representative is unfair to the poor slobs who really carry out this dreadful task.

The film has no focus, development or direction, and ends by trying to pretend that instead of being about war in general, or the Iraq occupation in particular, this was really about one sick dude on a serious suicide mission. I won't add to what has been said about the implausibilities, the shaky camera, etc. All in all, this just seems to me like an amateur effort at film-making, sustained by its sole virtue: the ability to scare the pants off the viewer brought in virtual contact with IEDs for the very first time.",5
"Don't watch it. There is just one reason for not giving this movie 1 point: Sandra Bullock. For the rest, it's a very dull movie without a good plot and it leaves more unanswered questions then answers.",2
Show is good but the story is so stupid. Young actors are so bad. Charactors are so damn stupid,3
"People are giving too much hate for the first episode?? I found it really good. Oscar Isac is amazing in the rule, so much details,easter eggs and Mohamed Diab put an amazing egyptian touch in it and i loved it. Hope the series gets better and better, so far the best opening episode for any mcu series for now.",7
"The first movie is to die for. The acting, plot, soundtrack, cinematography is just superb. My expectations for part two were high. Surprise surprise, part two EXCEEDED my expectations by a long shot.

First of all, the story line in part two is quite complex and gives a different perspective on all the characters. It also added some more detail on characters that weren't really mentioned in part one (Fredo for example). Watching it the second time really helped me to better understand the story and characters.

I am a huge sucker for character background and flashbacks. So I adored seeing the Vito flashbacks and being able to watch the most powerful mafia boss go from a poor boy in Italy to one of the most powerful men in NY. Plus, I just love Robert De Niro. He did such an excellent job!

I definitely loved part two a lot more than part one. I high recommend :)",10
"I loved this book a lot. I'll get that out of the way right now. It was fun to read and hipped me to a lot of media I still love today. I know it's not great, but it holds a special part in my heart as a book I loved as a teenager. I almost walked out of the theater at least 4 times while watching the movie. The ""Welcome to the resistance"" line had me out of my seat, getting my coat. I only sat back down to finish it because I realized this trainwreck was probably almost done so why waste 10 bucks.

That being said, I'll try to look at the movie as a movie and not as an extension of the book in this review.

So the movie is really badly paced. It clips from one scene to another at such a breakneck pace it got hard for me to follow at points. As someone who read the book before, it was easier for me to follow for the most part. But my poor girlfriend, with whom I watched this with in theaters, was left feeling like she was always one step behind. It felt like RPO had so much to show me but so little time. It just rushed everything at you so briskly, that you don't have enough time to take it all in.

As for the plot and story, it was either too predictable or just didn't feel right. The plot just seems to happen for the most part, mostly because of the previously mentioned pacing. Things just move from one thing to the next, not feeling very natural or like any sense of progression happens. The only moment that really wowed me in the entire movie was the Shining scene. It was so cool to watch it all play out. It was the only time I really felt like I was apart of that universe or that I was in the OASIS with them. The lead character actor wasn't fun to watch and the girl who played Art3mis was boring as all hell. Maybe she wasn't written well, but it felt like Art3mis was chalked up to ""The Girl Character That Likes The Boy Character"". The ending felt really hokey and awful. I won't spoil it, but it makes all the hard work that Wade does almost moot in a way. It's really weird that they chose the ending they did.

The visuals were fun to watch, which is the only good part for me. The action set-pieces were a blast to see. Although the constant current media nods and other properties almost jarred me out of it whenever I saw a Spartan from Halo or Tracer from Overwatch walking around. Also the battle scenes were just so crowded with so much stuff, it was hard to focus on anything. It just felt like so much was happening, I couldn't concentrate on anything. But altogether, the visual aspect was a real treat and a standout part of the movie.

All and all, I wish that this movie was so much more. Maybe if they had split it up into three films, one for each key, it would have been better. It would have allowed for a more in depth story and not this blink-and-you-miss-it pacing. I really wanted this to be a good movie, but all I got was just more proof that Spielberg has lost his touch.",3
I never thought that would be so boring and unrealistic move. Wasted my time on it. 90% of the things they are telling are lies which the whole world know. But I can give 10/10 for confidence level of the director.,1
"When we saw the trailer for this movie I knew that my wife was going to want to see it. I really wanted this to be a fun movie and figured it would poke fun at itself a bit. Ryan Gossling and Morton Robbie did a great job as actors. But they were not given a cohesive script and story line. This movie was all over the place. It was not fun and it never is when you are watching overlong dialog, songs, and dance routines. I'm not sure I can even explain the main storyline of this movie. Is that Barbie wants to be real? Does she want to help the girl, now woman that used to play with her fix the relationship with her daughter. Was it about Ken not wanting to exist as an accessory? Overall, this was not fun, funny and ended up being tedious and actually boring. This is not a movie for little girls and it is not a movie for adults either. This is a really big missed opportunity.",3
"I've never watched such a noisy movie before in my life. It's constant noise, everyone yelling and saying the f word the entire movie. The movie is really hard to watch but I managed to push through to the end",2
"I love the first season. The story isn't very original, mixing the story of Akira (1988) with the Goonies, but it works well, with a good balance between 80s nostalgia, science fiction and horror.

The second season is pretty messy, with more forced ""diversity"" shoved down your throat and a story that just tries to repeat the first season, without the mystery that made the first season intriguing.

The third season is the worst in my opinion, being very cringy from the first episode, with all the characters acting like a bad sitcom, trying to make flat jokes that ruin the ambience. Following the feminist approach pushed by most Netflix shows once they are renewed, all the male characters are portrayed as goofy and stupid, while the intelligent girls save the day.

And of course you wouldn't have a TV show in 2019 without.... EVIL RUSSIANS! Showing that the goal is clearly to produce propaganda rather than to entertain.

Watch the first season, and pretend that it wasn't renewed.",5
"This movie felt like i went on YouTube and watched 10 videos that are loosely related.

Acting and scenery, which were amazing, kept it from being a total disaster.",4
"Only in Hollywood could a stiff like Keanu Reeves get top billing over a fine, classically trained actor like Laurence Fishburne. And only in Hollywood could a typical, derivative, way-too-long shoot-em-up action movie get such good reviews.

Ladies and gentlemen, I hate to burst your bubble, but there were maybe ten minutes worth of eye-popping special effects. The rest? Ponderous clap-trap about ""The Martix"" and ""The One."" Most of the ""action?"" Typical gun fights where for some reason twenty ""bad guys"" with automatic weapons (on their home turf) cannot shoot two intruders. It was boring and unbelievable the last 2,500 times it was done, and it is boring and unbelievable now.

I gag on my mouse.

One thumb down.",3
Story is interesting but you really fall out of the fantasy of the movie when the MJ music video breaks in.,3
"I am probably one of a few who thought the movie was just OK. It kind of like the British version of Saving Private Ryan although the story is one-dimensional and it takes place decades earlier during WW1. Yes, the directing was great, the acting was also excellent, but the storyline was not that great. Suspenseful, yes. But you pretty much know where it is going the whole time. Sam Mendes wrote it based on stories he remembers his grandfather telling him, and he also dedicated the movie to his grandfather. If you like war movies you will enjoy it. For me, I like a variety of movies and while I do like war movies , this falls short. Sorry. Although when you compare it to the garbage coming out of Hollywood (they cannot make a good movie) 1917 is Great by comparison!",7
"Farhan Akhtar starring as Karthik is our self blaming office boy who is regularly abused verbally and emotionally by his landlord, boss and co- workers and every time he takes it all in on the pretext that he led to his brother's death and this is his penance. Even therapists can't help him. Driven to a corner losing his job, never being noticed by his secret crush and asked to empty his apartment he decides to commit suicide. But then rings the phone bell and the caller is none other than Karthik himself. Initially a movie which looked along the lines of the underdog taking sudden control of his life now has an added mystical element added to it. The caller helps Karthik realize his potential and transform him to a totally different person - confident, secure and easy-going. He gets to be part of the success story at his company,turns the tables on his landlord and gets his dream girl. Everything seems perfect but suddenly some unfortunate events led to Karthik facing the wrath of his caller. The first half of the movie is mostly a romance and unfortunately not one that leaves a great impression. The sudden change in Karthik also seem jumpy at times. The main element of the movie, the phone calls get shadowed by all happening around until the later half of the movie. Once everything is set in place and Karthik is back to question his unknown caller with encouragement from Shonali, Deepika Padukone and his therapist, Sefali Shah. The suspense in the second half is great and explanation for all the so mystical caller is pretty well thought out. The film overall seems to leave a message to the watchers and amaze them with the mysteries of human mind. Farhan Akhtar seems to be turning out as the jack of all trades delivery one hit after another. While his acting may not be the best it is certainly gripping, believable and entertaining. Deepika Padukone did okay but at some points her portrayal of the character does not seems to deliver the tension she is into. Overall though Karthik Calling Karthik is of better ones in Bollywood and I would recommend to anyone wishing for a story with a taste of thrill and reality.",8
"8.3/10 (Highly Recommend)

I truthfully thought this movie would be boring, but from the moment I hit play to the moment the credits started rolling I had tears in my eyes. Tears of joy. Tears of love. Tears of despair and sadness. This film ran me through the emotions because it reminded me of why movies are created. They're created to draw us in, to give us an escape, speak to us on a deeper level, and entertain. This movie did all that for me.

The acting isn't top notch, but I do like the actors selected for the film and they each bring raw feelings throughout that help the build-up. Seth Rogen definitely threw me off, but he has shown here that he can do more than raunchy comedies and be good at them too. Michelle Williams gives a terrific performance. Gabriel LaBelle is confident in his role and makes the feeling of being a moviemaker something to strive for. The body language at times speaks volumes and is done in such a way that it sparks the emotional needs perfectly. Though in general the film could've been slightly more emotional.

The music and the visuals drew me in the most. John Williams will always be an extraordinaire when it comes to composing masterpieces and it's no different here. When word aren't being used his music attracts the emotions needed to tell the story. The cinematography for both the film in general, and especially the in-film films, are both so clean and grasp the moments other movies fail to at times.

Overall, this film shows why movies are made. It brings the emotions and the spirit of the inner child to light while grasping a range of emotions with its visuals and sound. Despite the two and a half hour run time. I didn't feel a wasted moment.

That's all for now. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. Until next time.... Enjoy the show!",8
Fever dream-ish but somehow amazing. I dont know how to describe it but its so ludicrous that it checks every box on my list. It has everything from adventure and action to murder mystery and romance. Just absurd enough to be great. The ending was completely satisfactory leaving no need for a third season and every loose end was tied up. It evokes such strong emotions and deals with so many dark topics while still keeping it light and comical. The characters were great along with their development. Unlike some praised shows and movies which i will not name the plot had no holes and the depth of the story thoroughly impressed me.,9
"I only made it through 2 episodes before being to bored to carry on. I watch Marvel to escape and have an adventure, not to be put to sleep by being bored!.

I really enjoyed shows like The Punisher and Daredevil. I was half dreading when Disney got the rights but now I am full dreading!",1
"Arrested Development is not a bad TV-show. It's a funny and smartly written comedy. But it stops there.

It'll be natural for me to compare Arrested Development to The Office, since those are the two most successful comedy shows over the past years. Both shows have their own hilarious moments and both shows are all around funny. But why did Arrested Development get canceled after their third season and The Office were going strong for 8? I'll tell you: it's all about the characters.

While Mitchell Hurwitz mainly cares about funny slapstick-humor and intern jokes in AD, Greg Daniels also manage to write ""side-storys"" in The Office. Stories that goes on over a long time (Jim and Pam, Michael Scott's loneliness etc). Those stories on the side made us care for the characters in The Office. We can relate to many of them. Hurwitz tries to do the same in AD, but fails dramatically.

Hurwitz tries to give Michael Bluth many of the same ""qualities"" as Michael Scott, really. We learn about his dead wife, and this alone is supposed to make us feel sorry for him. Hurwitz is also trying to tell us that this overprotective father has lady-problems, but Michael usually ends up in bed with every single woman he meets in the show. Mitchell Hurwitz tries to show the viewers Michael Bluth's loneliness, but it doesn't work.

Another situation in this series which are very much alike is the George Michael/Maeby- situation and the Jim/Pam-situation. Impossible love. Jim and Pam are two characters that we all can relate to. Again; we care about them and want them to be happy. It might just be me, but I'm not even close to feel the same way with George Michael and Maeby. Michael Cera and Alia Shawkat are great actors, but their characters are pretty bad.

As I've said; I do think Arrested Development is a very funny TV-show, but it stops there. I don't feel a connection with any of the characters as I did with many of the characters in The Office. But maybe that's not the point. Maybe Hurwitz just wants to write a funny comedy show, and nothing more. This show will not go in the history books a show that changed television, as I think The Office i capable of. Summed up: Arrested Development is something you want to watch if you want to see a car with stairs and a whole bunch of ostriches. Watch something else if you want to get more from your money.",7
"As far as sequels are concerned; they just don't get any better than this. As a matter of fact ""The Godfather: Part II"" even ranks above the sublime ""The Godfather"", which got made 2 years earlier, starring mostly the same cast.

The movie connects nicely with the first movie and decides to start off were the first movie had finished. Michael is the new Don now and he continues his father work by leading a crime syndicate based in New York. Besides the usual struggles with other the other families and other characters who are looking for opportunities to gain more power and control, Michael also needs to handle his personal life with his wife and his other family members, who aren't all on the same line.

But ""The Godfather: Part II"" is not just a movie that continues what the first movie had started. It also adds a story-line of the young Vito Corleone, played in the first movie by Marlon Brando. In this movie he is being portrayed by Robert De Niro, who wasn't really a big star yet at the time. It's amazing how these two different story-lines, set at completely different time periods and also in essence have really nothing to do with each other, blend in so perfectly. The historical settings of the New York of the early 20th century are also truly impressive.

It's a movie that got practically made by the same cast and crew as the first successful movie. Of course there also are some new addition to the cast this time, in which the earlier mentioned Robert De Niro and Lee Strasberg impress the most. Both also received an Oscar nomination in the category for best supporting actor, along with Michael V. Gazzo but it was Robert De Niro who would eventually take the statue back home.

What also makes this movie an even better one than its predecessor is the fact that this movie is filled with some classic moments of cinema. It contains some of the best known sequences and phrases. It also contains some great constructed and build-up sequences, for which the credit really needs to go to Francis Ford Coppola. Also the characters are more developed and expanded in this movie. A true accomplishment for a movie with so many characters in it but then again the movie has also more than 3 hours to tell its story.

A sequel that even surpasses its brilliant predecessor.

"Having seen La La Land sweep the Golden Globes and the Oscar nomination announcements, I had high hopes. I believed all of the praise was deserving and from reading all of the summaries I was sure I would love this film. However, I was WRONG. While the cinematography was wonderful and the colors were incredible, the story for me fell flat. I felt like I was waiting forever to witness some kind of climax or even rising action. I wish the film would have allowed the characters to display more depth and maybe I would have had the connection with them that I needed to have or at least found them some what appealing. It missed out on having any logic or purpose for the characters actions and seemed inconsistent in exactly what it was trying to tell. While I like Emma Stone and think she is a great actress, I failed to recognize the chemistry between the two characters. The musical numbers were cringe worthy. Although, the score was fine. (I'll give it that) Overall, La La Land is visually pleasing but for me has overwhelming creative appeal with NO substance to grasp any connection. I wish I would have liked it. Disappointing.",3
What a wasted opportunity. I was completely bored and confused with all the jumping around. I didn't have a clue what was going on half the time. I certainly won't waste time rewatching it any time soon.,2
"I will try to keep this review spoiler free.

Christopher Nolan has many followers and haters. Personally, I thoroughly enjoy his films and he knows how to play with peoples emotions in movies like Inception and The Dark Knight. Interstellar is his latest movie and it already is in the Top 25 on IMDb's Top 250 list. But is it really that amazing? No. But it still will leave you satisfied as a crowd pleasing experience.

Basically, Earth is going to die. So Pilot/Farmer Cooper and a team of astronauts go through a wormhole to find a new planet. But time is precious and the world is aging.

First the big problem I had just to get off my chest was the sound mixing. While most of the film has no problems. A loud rumbling can be heard (from what I experienced seeing it in 35mm film) in the last quarter of the film which makes some of the dialog inaudible. Even when the actors are screaming, you can barely hear them because of this noise. But anyways...

The film has a bit of comic sense that sometimes lacks in Nolan's films. But because of the content, you will need some cheering up with comic relief characters. Bill Irwin as the voice of Tars is great and at first glance looks silly as a robot, but you come to love this character bringing unexpected depth to him.

The visuals are outstanding. Like with Inception, Interstellar has some great and realistic visuals to help believe that we are actually in space including some that are very surreal.

The movie is more complex then his Dark Knight Films mostly due to the fact that there are many themes of space exploration and theories about black holes including an ending that will sure be a head twister.

Everyone did amazing especially Anne Hathaway in her Second Nolan film appearance including Matt Damon in a role I will not spoil.

This is what I personally think as not a Fan-boy or a hater. See it for yourself to judge. A few minutes could have been trimmed due to pacing but anyways let me finish this review off.

Interstellar is not the best Nolan Film. But it definitely is a crowd pleasing movie that has amazing visuals, great acting and a good story. I saw this in 35MM film but see it in 70MM IMAX if it is playing near you. You will not regret it.

78/100 B",7
"In this movie, every moment is presented similarly, acting, moments are over the top, over the topness is good when there's few moments of it, but 160 minutes of it is too much. Still, movie is so well shot, good looking, also movie takes you in it's world, takes you in 60s and that's great. This kind of movies are not made anymore and Quentin deserves praise for creating it, but it's could have been much better.",2
Great actors but absolutely awful movie. Had only regrets after watching it,2
The movie totally lost me at the very beginning when the dude that looks like he has been in every fight ever accidentally gets involved in a fight. People never get in fights. This dude looks like he has been in thousands. Its absurd.,1
"Not much to say, this is a refreshing entry into the marvel cinematic universe with a interesting/gripping story, great development and good performances from all the actors.",8
"There can be only one explanation how every professional film critic has praised this production to the roof tops whilst virtually every reviewer here has exposed it as a worthless piece of junk; the 'idependent' professionals got paid to lie.

There is nothing at all to merit even a score for this sickening mumbo jumbo of absurdity. Kenneth Brannah has revealed himself to be nothing more than than drama prostitute able to take any part that conveys him as a British hero even though his lines are entirely trite. Mark Rylance puts on a good show and Harry Styles shows that he has more than just a pretty face but one character survives no less than 5 ship wrecks on one day whilst a gliding engineless spitfire proves to be a fatal opponent for a fully armed German bomber. There is no script, no character development, no story of the battle and no attempt to show the vast scale of the original event. Just leave this rubbish alone and avoid anything ever praised by any of the critics who try to sell it to you. You are better off watching paint dry.",1
"Acting wise everyone was superb specially Henry Cavill And Anya Chalotra(Yen). Story is building up nd its Griping,Action scenes are brilliantly Choreographed,one of the best sword fight scenes. Only Bad thing i found was timeline jump which sometimes confuses me but at the end it became Clear. Don't go after the critics,Watch the Show and decide Yourself.",8
"Gosh, how many of these does Hollywood need to produce? How about we start making movies for adults with real stories and characters? I mean I like an occasional super-hero movies, but this obsession with big budget Marvel movies is turning cinephiles off. I usually end up seeing this with younger family members who want to see these, I would never see these on my own, not even if I get paid to it. And the 8.x rating made me laugh and cringe, IMDb ratings are a joke and totally unreliable.",3
"Very nice, pity it's been down-dumbed for PG-13.

Let there be Carnage! Bit more gore would be excellent. Otherwishe, great. And awesome. Also some minor flaws, but nevermind that.",8
For me it wasnt brilliant but it was good. Its pacing is slow and you will only be rewarded if you keep paying attention. Not something to watch while scrolling youe phone. It is worth the effort.,7
"I saw this movie tonight at the movie theatre, and would recommend people do so and not watch this on Netflix. This is a movie that wants the breathing space of the big screen.

Having seen the very ""unstructured"" trailer for this I was very concerned about this being a half hearted rehash of knives out, using quite possibly ""the last of Sheila"" as an template. Man was I wrong, Rian Johnson finally delivered the high class murder mystery he had teased at knives out. The actors in this one might not be as prolific, as in the first entry, but the story and movie by itself is a lot better. I enjoyed Knives out a lot, but this is the hands down better film.

Daniel Craig is having fun with the character, Edward Norton's portrayal of Miles is excellent, so are most of the other performances.",9
This movie is a fever dream of ideas. There is a lack of cohesion among the ideas. There is a lot of CGI and really bad cuts from one scene to another. It feels like a drafted idea that was never completed. There is world building but it's pointless because the characters are bountiful. Who are these people and why should I care.,1
"This was an action film that delivered on ""all"" levels. We also got an even closer look at the main characters (namely Steve Rogers, and Nick Fury). The action and fight sequences were even more breath-taking than those of both the first Capt. America film and the Avengers combined.

I was also greatly surprised by the performance of Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson AKA The Falcon. Mackie looked well suited for the role, and put in a great performance as an authentic action hero.

This film was well written, well designed, well directed, and well executed. It's amazing to see how far Marvel Studios have gone from where they started as a small film company. It's also quite obvious that with great writing, casting, and great directorship a small film company can compete and out shine many of the major entities.

The story line of the film is one that not only connected to the first movie, but also effectively introduced new extensions which should lead to a 3rd edition as well.

Captain America II is a story of patriotism, honor, sacrifice, and friendship. For those who've had negative things to say about this film, are simply clueless, and have no understanding of the above mentioned 4 elements that makes this movie a must-see...",10
Worst movie in the history of action movies. Weak plot. Doesn't make any sense at all. Made solely for the indians,1
"It's the perfect tonic for a world drunk on nostalgia that also needs to see something wholesome about a traumatized pre-teen girl with psychic powers, who has the world's greatest support system behind her. It wouldn't be where it is without its wealth of talented actors and the eye for talent of the Duffer brothers.",9
"So the show is great. I do not understand the hate toward Page- she portrays the picture of major depression in ways that only a talented actor as she can convey. The other reviews do not recognize the subtle symptoms she displays. Its truly beautiful.

My beef with the show? Plot holes- not major ones, just careless ones. Minor spoilers: when diego grabs the donut receipt from the motel, ""take one"" shows him grabbing it full palm, likely leaving a full set fingerprints behind. In take two, we see him carefully take the receipt off of the donut box. Ok, i'll allow it to fix that plot hole. Second, Diego is highly trained, he should not have so easily been baited by 2 pros of equal skill at the ""ice bucket"" scene.

""Five""- he holds the gun perfectly with finger off trigger, but fails to drop his leading shoulder back and draw the weapon close to him as the ""enemy advances"".

I think more training from directors and consultants would have avoided these minor minor issues that drew me off scene. But the good outweighed the bad. Just wish those tiny details didnt break the ""highly trained"" characters we now know their actors were likely not given ample time to prepare.

Great show! Watch.",8
I would have given it 10 stars but Dustin talks too much. It was funny at first but three seasons of it in a row is a little bit much. Please give him less lines or kill him off.,9
"I sincerely expected much more from this tv show, especially knowing that within the cast of actors were Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke. After the first episode everything seemed very promising, but I found this series boring. I can rescue some of the action scenes that are very good.",3
"I have seen a lot of movies in my time, but this movie just took me by storm. Its uniqueness, ironically enough because it was based on a real life situation was a refreshing change from the usual Hollywood blockbuster. This movie provided a brilliant (pardon the pun) insight into many aspects of a genius at work.

This movie touched me on many levels. The psychology of the movie was intriguing, the mathematical philosophies was actually realistic from my own experience, and the icing on the cake making the movie stand out was surprisingly the humanistic side of Love. While love is a common basis in most movies, the interaction of this theme with other aspects of the plot was planned phenomenlly.

As for the cast, I have never noticed the actual difference in skill between many actors/actresses before. I like Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise etc, but I wouldn't be able to pinpoint a classic actor's performance. But Russell Crowe in this film showed me what it was like to act in a way where I was in awe of his skill in playing this character, especially when considering the extreme difference from characters in his other movies such as the Gladiator and The Insider. Russell Crowe was one of the big reasons this movie was so brilliant. Added to that the stellar performances of Jennifer Connelly, Ed Harris and Adam Goldberg, and this made for the 'perfect' movie.

A Beautiful Mind was by far the most original, intelligent and entertaining movie I have ever seen. And this from a movie I didn't expect big things from. Kudos to Ron Howard, the cast and the crew of this movie. It was truly worthy of the Oscar, and Russell Crowe was definitely the most deserving of this production team to miss out on the highest accolade. Perhaps politics played a bigger part than I previously would have thought.",7
"I watched this movie in HD on Italian cable TV. My expectations were so hight! This movie has been judged better then the fantastic Avatar, so it had to be absolutely stunning. Minute after minute I was convinced that this could not be the 6 Oscar winner, I had to double check it. OK, the direction was not bad, but all the film was completely senseless, it looked to me as a classical American B-Movie. The plot looks incredible, you lose so many times the reasons of why something is happening. For example the taxi driver who does not stop: why? Even the story of the young boy selling DVD is not so clear to me.. This movie is miles back Black Hawk Down, a classical city guerrilla movie and is really impossible that beat Avatar if not that the judges of academy award were drunk.",2
The movie filled me with pride for my Indian army. My level of Josh is very high after it. Great acting. Kudos to director who showcase the glorious win of Indian army.,10
It was so boring....and One other thing: Actually it didnt have a story,6
"I watched the first episode last night and was disappointed. The characters lacked depth, none of them managed to create an emotional connection with me. I might have been the acting: I was seeing actors, not characters.

There was something with the CGI. Mist and whispy clouds all over the place, but too prominent and too artificial. Brick walls that looked like texture-maps, it all somehow felt not quite right. The dragons where impressive, until taking flight. I appreciate it is difficult to model a flying dragon correctly, but the tail of the dragon in flight seemed to have nu problem with air resistance during flight and the movement of it's back during take off would have thrown any human of its back right away.

I could specify more aspects of this episode that dissapointed but overall, it felt cheaper, it lacked the deep, immersive quality of Game of Thrones.",5
"1st episode is ridiculous. Supposedly -60° and water freezes instantaneously, yet the family has no hats, faces exposed, and coats open. I mean sci-fi is supposed to be fiction, but at least make the story consistent. Finally in episode 3, the Mom blurts out the liberal anti-gun agenda. I've had enough. Do yourself a favor and watch something else.",3
Though I don't have epilepsy I had a seizure watching this movie. To be fair I knew it was going to be awful. Bay movies are perfect when you're too tired to think about a real movie. Also I wanted to test my new surround sound system. I understand it's one of the most successful movies on Netflix. This tells you all you need to know about the mankind.,2
The quality got progressively worse. Season 1 was better than season 2 and that was better than season 3. The kids got progressively annoying. The song between Dustin and Suzie in the final season was extremely agonizing. I am glad this was on Netflix though - easy to skip forward,5
"If there ever was an episode that transcends the scale of perfection, it's ""That Day"" in Attack on Titan, and it's impossible to not focus on the enigmatic and complex character, Grisha Yeager. An 11/10 rating hardly does justice to this extraordinary episode.

In ""That Day,"" the narrative takes a profound dive into Grisha's past, unraveling the mystery behind his actions and motivations. It's a tour de force of storytelling that leaves you spellbound from start to finish.

Grisha Yeager's character development in this episode is nothing short of awe-inspiring. We witness his transformation from a seemingly ordinary man into a figure of profound significance within the story's intricate web. His journey from a naive outsider to a key player in the world of Titans is masterfully portrayed.

The revelations in ""That Day"" are earth-shattering, reshaping our understanding of the Titans, Eldians, and the world beyond the walls. The episode peels back layers of secrets, offering viewers a glimpse into the hidden truths that have shaped the series' universe.

Visually, ""Attack on Titan"" continues to raise the bar, and ""That Day"" showcases some of the most visually stunning sequences in the entire series. The attention to detail in portraying Grisha's memories and the Titan transformations is nothing short of breathtaking.

The soundtrack, as always, adds immeasurably to the episode's emotional depth. It underscores the intense moments of revelation and introspection, further immersing the audience in the world of Attack on Titan.

But what truly sets ""That Day"" apart is its exploration of profound themes like sacrifice, the burden of knowledge, and the consequences of one's actions on future generations. Grisha's character embodies these themes, and his choices carry monumental weight.

In conclusion, ""That Day"" in Attack on Titan is an unparalleled episode in the annals of anime. Its focus on Grisha Yeager's character arc, coupled with groundbreaking revelations, makes it a storytelling tour de force. This episode transcends ratings and leaves an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of viewers. If you're a fan of the series, this episode is a crowning achievement, and if you haven't experienced Attack on Titan yet, ""That Day"" is a compelling reason to embark on this epic journey.",10
"In the multi-verse beyond the MCU, the omniscient being The Watcher (Jeffrey Wright) observes various stories of alternate timelines featuring familiar characters from the MCU with some differing slightly, while others differ greatly.

What If...? Is an animated anthology series that dovetails off the end of the first season of Loki which established the nature of the multi-verse in the MCU. While Marvel had discussed a What If...? Series for years, it was decided that it would be held off until the end of the Infinity Saga. To ensure continuity, the producers of What If...?, Loki, and Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness met with one another to ensure cohesion between the series in terms of understanding of what the rules and expectations of the multiverse were. What If...? For the most part does tackle some fairly unique divergences from the MCU, even if it does sometimes feel like it's held back by time constraints.

In terms of anthology setups, Jeffrey Wright makes a great narrator as The Watcher as he guides us through various points of the MCU multiverse through various stories that run the gamut between serious and dark to more light-hearted and fun. We get some fun takes on things such as Marvel Zombies, Peggy Carter becoming a supersoldier while Steve Rogers becomes a proto-Iron Man called the HYDRA Stomper, or an only child version of Thor turning the planet Earth into his universe's ""Party Central"" much to chagrin of SHIELD and Captain Marvel. I think the biggest issue however that we run into is in the fact that we only get ""tastes"" of these worlds and in the half-hour format it does sometimes feel like we're a bit overly rushed in terms of our experiencing these worlds. I also felt like it was little unnecessary in the last few episodes to connect the stories in a big finale, and frankly if they wanted to do that sort of thing then they really should've done an adaptation of Exiles rather than What If...?.

Like many anthology shows, What If...? Has both its high points and its low points. If you're a fan of the MCU and often pondered of the road not taken, What If...? Does provide ample opportunities for exploring those corners of the MCU multiverse. Despite my mixed feelings on the ending I did enjoy most of What If...?.",8
Nice way to identified such type of social discrimination i love it very much. Must watch for every indian. Dont worry about rating its fabulous movie i never watch this type of movie in my life but now i m very happy.,10
"Superb cinematography, superb action, execellent perfomrances... The two thing i did not like about this movie was one that indian kid's acting which was flat. There is a lot talent out there in india, u should have find a better actor... and second i am not bangali but i knew that movie has sabotaged its presentation.. I mean dirtier road, whole army aiding a gangster, it could not get more WORSE.. I totally disagree with those who says it was action movie so it does not matter how they portray bangladesh... Movie making is an art in which true representation of concerned places, people and culture is a very important irrespective of its genre.. this movie ignored all this and only focused on action which was good to watch with many Hows in mind looking messed up Dhaka...",7
Good show but very poor sound. Volume very low. Have to watch with subtitles because one can't hear,7
"I enjoyed the series but some of the episodes felt boring and dull and considering the Witcher is about monsters and ghouls... There wasn't that much of it in the show. I was expecting a much darker and brutal show with more adult themes. It just didn't quite get there for me.

Henry Cavill does justice to the role of Geralt. Some of the supporting cast are just plain cringe worthy and have the acting ability of a turnip. It's a decent show with potential but from some of the reviews I have read it is over hyped

I hope the show gets better as it goes on",6
"The Fablemans is Steven Spielberg's admirable love letter to cinema and a tribute to his early devotion to filmmaking. The movie bursts us with artistic passion, making choices between art and reality, it explores strong and relatable family relationship themes, and captured moments that play as a bonding thread in the household and ultimately reshape the meaning of the family's emotional conflicts and dynamics.

A subtle masterpiece, this may not be Spielberg's biggest or most show-off kind of movie but it certainly hits all the right spots brilliantly and will stay with you for a while if you connect with it.

Spielberg takes us on a very nostalgic felt journey with a close look at how his love for film was influenced and his role within the household and their crisis with living life, pursuing professional choices, and Sammy's own fascinations and priorities, onto the beginning of his emerging career following his aspirations and dreaming big.

Cinema is a powerful tool and we can that here. The narrative is very simple yet holds deep emotional layers that can pierce through your heart. The way I connected with it evoked so much in me on a personal level, I felt a resemblance to my younger self nostalgically recalling a vivid childhood memory of watching one of Spielberg's movies which highly affected me at an age where I didn't even understand any bits of what I watched.

This relatability factor I think is what makes the movie stand out on a certain level and helps amplify the cinematic experience and the premises it explores.

Though I think the runtime might've been a bit long for this type of movie that is not necessarily driven by huge dramatic moments but rather the feelings of it, not the biggest thing to worry about because it was beautiful still.

The nostalgic aesthetic wasn't limited to the story, on the contrary, it was driven further by the visuals where Janusz Kaminiski's cinematography makes you wonder beyond the surface.

The exquisitely composed frames with the simple blocking of the camera, the long takes, and the classic lighting style translated so much depth both in creating beautiful mesmerizing imagery and in shaping the character's performances and emotional delivery, and help in translating the story through the screen.

Michelle Williams's performance was outstanding, the way she embodied her character's complexity was beautifully executed. Gabriel LaBelle also did a beautiful job, his emotional depth was on point, and so did Paul Dano.

Symbolically, I believe the ""camera"" as an object also had a performative role in the movie, the way Sammy used it wasn't just to capture regular memories, but it was also his way to discover life through glamorized visualization that showed realities and determined his future pursuits.",9
Terrible plot and twists.it's totally a waste of big actors and production design. It's not really worth what they put in this film.,2
"As someone who has read the books, I prefer the series and that has rarely ever been the case.

I love how each of the characters develops, even though it's a stark change of pace from what we're used to, for example with Yen. We've seen her as pitiful, and then powerful and badass but never this vulnerable, this struggling. Ciri too, it would've been easy to show her as in control by the end of the season but she's still finding her feet. Geralt as a father figure was again refreshing. Each actor was stunning in their portrayal of their respective character's journey and the story itself is tight and fast paced enough to keep you glued in. I cannot wait for the next season!",9
"I'm not sure why some of the reviewers have already dismissed this show. I wonder what people expect from a pilot but I think there are too many expectations based on The Avengers (and other superhero films). It's a TV show so there's going to be a lot of differences with respect to pace, storytelling and character build-up. Don't expect an hour packed full of action like a film.

In my opinion the pilot was a really strong start to what looks like will be a really good TV show. It's obvious a lot of money has been spent on the show because the special effects are better than the majority of films. The cast has been well selected as the acting was strong and no characters looked out of place. Even from the first episode you can start to warm and empathize with most of the characters. Visually it looks great. For fans of the superhero genre this is a sure winner (if you leave your expectations at the door). I watched it with three friends and we're all really looking forward to the next installment.

Nice work Joss, keep it coming!",8
"This is a great show with good actors, story & script. The superheroes (bar 1) are a foul bunch of people but the BOYS are the real heroes. My only complaints are that I need to keep subtitles on for 'Frenchie's' dialogue as his diction is unintelligible, and Karl Urban can't quite convince with his distracting performance of a Kiwi/Fake Bri-ish accent. Out of all the cast Simon Pegg merits 1st prize for his nor-too-bad-generic American accent.",9
"Pros: 1. The score is utterly magical with its quintessentially Italian feel which adds so much depth to the film. 2. The movie does a masterful job at creating a stifling atmosphere of tension and suspense, even with just the long silences and dialogue. 3. The set and costume design is brilliant, especially Michael Corleones' (Al Pacino) suits which just scream power. 4. The production is mind-blowing, particularly considering the scope of the film. 5. The transitions between the past and the present are perfect as they never miss a beat. 6. The violence feels incredibly raw and grounded in its execution which serves to harden its impact. 7. The scene where Fredo Corleone (John Cazale) comes clean to Michael Corleone about his betrayal is amazingly acted, particularly in regards to John Cazale, and it's exceedingly emotional. 8. Robert De Niro (Vito Corleone), Al Pacino, and John Cazale give phenomenal performances. 9. The ending sequence, like the one in the first film, masterfully ties everything together.

Cons: 1. The movie skips over Michael Corleone's first 7 years as the Don, but it would have been great to watch him in action after he took up his father's mantle.",9
"'Guru' is a movie which holds its inspiration from Hollywood movie 'The Aviator'. It is however based on life of Indian Business Tycoon, Dhirubhai Ambani. I would say it to be as a better movie, as compared to Hollywood version which was based on life of Howard Hughes.

Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: Merchant trading place, village scenarios, blooming romance, beauty of Ash, relations worth keeping, etcetera, everything has been captured well (4/5).

Tone: A man decides that now he will not work for anyone but establish his own business. He does that, he goes through many obstacles, finally succeeds which captures the tone nicely (4.5/5).

Music: Music is good (3.5/5).

Acting: Acting is very good (4/5).

Final Verdict: It is worth adding to tour DVD collection [(4/5) (9/10)].",9
"I can't relate at all to the high ratings. Only 5 minutes into the movie i wanted to turn it off. It's very chaotic but not in an enjoying way, and the backgroundmusic would have fitted more in a othermovie. I kept on watching because of the high ratings but i never really got into it. I wasn't drawn into the movie, did not wan't to know what was going to happen next and none of the characters are likelible or relatable. The ending wasn't a big wow factor either. If i have to say one good thing about the movie is that it was nice to see Adam Sandler playing a completely different roll for a change. The character was really annoying, which he was supposed to be. But sadly i did not feel sorry for him once or loved him because you hate him. Which i do think was the point in his character. He was just very annoying, just like the rest of the movie.",5
"Didn't play the games. Didn't read the book. Couldn't watch past the third episode because it was just boring.

Streaming services and killing each other to make Game of Thrones stles fantasy series like this and the god awful Wheel of Time..",2
The concept was really something different where director shows the love story between two really weird character. They might look like psycho in the beginning but as the series go on you will definitely gonna change your mind But the ending is gloomy How their beautiful chemistry ends,9
"The movie starts with a bang and carries the charm throughout. The way each character is introduced is terrific. It is story telling at its best. From Shahid Khan to Sardar Khan to Sultan, you actually end up fearing them all - the characters are so beautifully portrayed. Manoj Bajpai is amazing as Sardar (he really got into the character) and the narration (by one of the gang members) adds a lot of flavor to the entire flow of the movie.

Siddiqui's role is brief in the first part and I have a feeling he will play a major role in the remaining part of this epic. He is already looking good. Tigmanshu as Ramadheer Singh is terrific, his expressions too good.

Apart from this, the movie is informative - it very subtly tells the audience all about the way Indian coal mafia has progressed over the years, the gang wars, the politics. Obviously there is a lot of slang. I have not seen a Hindi movie with so crude a language ever, absolutely not recommended for family viewing and children/teenagers.

The camera angles, especially the final sequence is superb.",10
"5 out of 5 stars.

Glass Onion is an awesome mystery film which is a sequel to Knives Out of a murder mystery film that is fun, filled with twists and turns, and a great cast ensemble.

New plot about a billionaire inviting friends to an island to play a murder mystery of his own death. Only to face against an actual death and a conspiracy plot which noone can be trusted.

The plot will keep you guessing. Twists that will surprise. Even as Blanc (Daniel Craig) tries to discover everyones motives and there agenda.

Daniel Craig does a wonderful job with the role. The rest of the cast did great and had plenty of fun with there characters that made them stand out.

The film is fun. It has humor. And a lot of twists that makes this second film worth checking out.",10
"I went to this without having any idea what to expect... in the middle of the movie the theatre had a break... i remember asking my girlfriend what she wanted to do, as i was seriously considering leaving the venue... we stayed, hoping it would get better... it didn't ...

it fell like it was a mashup fo namedropping to make it tie in to other things and there was no real focus on a good diven storyline. the characters were empty jars, the visuals stunning, the story missing.

well acted... sure... but i mean c'mon, doesn't anyone read through the script and ask the question... ""'what is the story we are telling?""... apparantly not...

leave scripts to scriptwriters and books to authors....

generous 3/10.",3
"The biggest problem with this film isn't that it's too long, no, just that it's exciting sequences (primarily the action scenes) are spread throughout the runtime very poorly which leads to the film coming off as slow and boring. This is a very common issue within many films, however it is usually fixed by making the plot and characters engaging to watch. This is where Black Panther fails, none of the characters resonated to me very well, the villain's story is much more compelling then hero's story. It is worth mentioning though that the action sequences were by far the most entertaining sections of the film specifically the one set in South-Korea which was the peak of the film in my opinion.

At some points Black Panther's CGI was brilliant and helped massively to expand the world however at other times the CGI was laughable which was best displayed in the final action sequence which looked awful. In summary the ratio of good and bad aspects of this film seems unbalanced which concludes me to say I do not recommend this film.",4
"Season 1&2 Review : My Hero Academia is one of the hottest Shonen Anime right now and after watching 2 seasons of it, My Verdict is it lacks the depth found in the greatest animes but more than makes up for it with unadulterated fun. Heavily influenced by Western Superhero Culture, this show focuses on heroes in training in a world where most people have special abilities. It is very fast paced with action heavy scenes so not much room for character development, which results in lots of quirky but one-dimensional characters. But the action is just so well done, this show really knows how to build hype moments and music plays a big part in it. In season 2 they start developing some of the main characters and ups the quality of the show. Overall its highly bingeable and worth your time.",8
"The first thing that struck me was the brother being locked up in the lockers and began crying because of it. The sad part is he enjoys pain, and torture. So he would actually enjoy what happen to him. It's really a show that lives off the fake idea that girls are stronger the boys. It's a weak story and bland one at that. Bad casting and how's her father that Hispanic and she doesn't hav one characteristics of being Hispanic.

It's a bad wanna be Adam's family spin off and personally want My time back. If I had a case I'd sue Netflix for destroying my child with this horrible show.

Give credit to anyone who can sit and watching nightmare.",2
I love this show ! We hope you bring more seasons out and it's on regular tv channel .,10
"This film sorely lacks the depth that The Dark Knight had, but why? Is it because Heath Ledge is no longer in the mix? Maybe. But Nolan seems to have changed the style from its predecessor considerably. It's still dark and gritty, but it has a much greater comic book feel to it than the previous film did.

I'm not bashing comic book movies as they can be entertaining, but the fact that Chris Nolan set out to have a Batman revival that stood apart from other comic book movies, only to have many comic book aspects in his final film detracted from the experience.

The directing is really good, but not Nolan's best, despite some fantastic shots here and there. The acting remains at good as it needs to be, with a pleasant surprise from the charming Anne Hathaway.

What really held this film back for me was how unrealistic and flashy it became. There were too many plot holes to count, with characters seemingly acting without much motivation, some arcs that were less than satisfying, and reveals that could have been handled much better. There's one ""big"" plot twist near the end that, while interesting, did not hold up as well as it should have.

All in all, a good action film in its own right, but one that feels like a let down after the fantastic predecessor.",6
"When a reviewer start to say things like ""the show is confusing"" you know you can't listen to them. 12 year old kid with average brain can understand the timeline going on super easily.",7
"This will be the last Marvel series I try to watch. It's the same tiresome formula of all other recent Marvel Projects - they introduce you to the new hero who overacts in every scene (not Oscar Isaacs fault he's a damn good actor, just usual Marvel formula) cracking jokes in every line of dialogue, getting into stupid slap stick situations and slowly unveils he's a superhero with a rich detailed past which is completely background to the comediec elements and a hero that no one else in the MCU knew about until he's shoehorned into every other Marvel project in the future.

The CGI is noticeable and looks like it came from the early 2000s, I know it's a TV series but surely a behemoth corporation like Disney can do better.

There's a potential ""villian"" played by Ethan Hawke, probably one of the more bearable characters as he's the only one not doing a stand up act - he runs a military/religious organisation that I guess no other Hero in Marvel can be bothered to deal with - which I'm sure there's a great one line of dialogue explanation to in a later episode.

The suit looks great and some of the action was entertaining but felt slightly rushed - I won't be watching anymore episodes, the preview made the series look more mature and interesting but it's the same old Marvel stuff.",2
"Zodiac is a complex police investigation wrapped up in a thriller.

There are moments of extreme heart-stopping fear, followed by long periods of getting nowhere in the investigation.

Is it a great movie? Not for my money - it is too prosaic in places, and the first hour is much better than the second.

It is a good movie? Sure, if you have the time and like the genre.

I went with high expectations given the pedigrees of all involved but was genuinely blanded out by the resulting film.

Disappointing effort that doesn't justify the cast and cost - just not tight enough.",5
"Watchable, but not close to the greatness that the first one was. sure Favreau has put in all the cool gadgetry that incorporates the world of Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) however if you are going to make sequels at least don't follow suit of the Spiderman series and start making them less enjoyable as they go along! One thing i will give Favreau on this one was his brilliant decision making on casting, Mickey Rourke, Scarlett Johansson,Don Cheadle, Sam Rockwell etc. etc. However the storyline is sorta ...meh! Mickey Rourke plays our villain here Ivan Vanko aka Whiplash sporting a very poor Russian accent throughout. Now that Stark has revealed he is in fact Iron Man and suffering from new health issues due to the suit, is put under a lot of stress as the government want him to share his blueprints and technology information with the military. Major problem here is when you have so much on screen talent what to do with them all and sometimes like this it turns into one giant cluster ..... However if you are a fan of cgi and an action film that packs a pretty good wallop! You should be impressed with this latest instalment to the saga. I personally hope they don't mess up the Avengers as it could be , if done right one of the all time great Marvel comics adaptations!",4
"A fantastic thriller by Akshay Kumar. BABY and SPECIAL 26, 2 thriller masterpieces of Akshay. EVERYONE CAN WATCH",10
"Yeah yeah, I've read the books, I've played the games and now, now I've seen the film too.

The Witcher is a natural fit for TV, in fact the games have demonstrated as much with some of the best CG cutscenes of all time. If you have not watched the cutscenes from the games, you should, because the cutscenes demonstrate what is possible with computer technology - anything. So why use live action puppets which cannot match the magic of computer wizardry? Some of the special effects in this show are remarkably poor for our time and era. Underfunded perhaps? But not enough to mis sout on having a ""star"" on the bill.

The show brings the books to life, (if you can ignore the shabby monsters) and while ordinarily that might be a good thing, here it backfires, especially since the tone of the books is somewhat micheivious, but on film such dedication to accuracy can lead to awkwardness on screen.

Finally, Cavill is miscast. He's too pretty to be a convincing Witcher, but his performance is pretty good, even if it lacked some menace.",6
"The original.

The first 20 minutes is stomach churning ; cheesy smaltz a plenty. A 60 year old, with more surgical, cologenic, facial enhancements than an old supermodel, trying it on with the young bucks ?

It parodies the original ( no surprises there ) but , why then rip off better pictures to make the return and ( to the now franchise ) plagiarise the likes of "" Behind Enemy Lines "" ( Owen Wilson and Gene Hackman ) and "" Bat21 "" ( with Danny Glover and surprise, surprise... Gene Hackman ! )

Cruise is past his best and to regurgitate this nonsense ( and it is nonsense ), is seriously indicative of a career on the slide. Umpteen millions of your own money, to keep your head relevant , is an ego that's quite frankly, pear shaped.",3
"Yes, I know what some series are purposefully slow in beginning due to character introductions and world building, Expanse comes to mind, but I simply can't force myself to keep wasting any more free time (of very little I do have) to watch this drivel. Main character ""Mad"" scientist is seriously annoying. The sidekick girl character has way too clichés and too low of a profile. The ""Haker"" - probably only relatable and real character does very little to add to this boredom fest.

Yes, it maybe somewhat unfair to rate only 1.5 episodes but this isn't my first time trying to watch this series and every time I give up. It may develop into this amazing story nearly everyone here raving about and well worth it's high praises and scores, or it could simply be internet's biggest troll prank. I'm not sure which one is it.

I won't know. At least not now. I'm moving on to something more approachable and interesting.",1
"I don't usually write reviews for anything, but this time I think I need to. After reading the plot, I was a bit unconvinced by the show initially, but after the first episode I felt rather connected to it, so I gave it a go.

This series deals with normal people and their normal lives, but that can sometimes be difficult to watch. I guess there's a reason why Hollywood movies are usually unrealistically optimistic and why movies usually have a happy ending. This show deals with raw emotions and events, and everything is portrayed exactly as it is. I felt overwhelmed by the story at times (which is a good thing), so be prepared for that.",8
"Watching Spider-man 2 was a true joy. It concentrates on action and characterisation in equal measure and is all the better for it. Lets face it - the Spider-man story is the best in all comicdom so you know they have great material to work from. The characters are joyful and the story itself is unique - this is not an all powerful superhero. He has plenty of problems - in essence he is just a poor kid trying to do his best. There is something in the character we can all relate to. That said, it would have been easy to play it safe with this movie, and just overload it with mindless violence and unbelievable subplots. Director Sam Raimi avoids these pitfalls by giving us a hero we can believe in. His weaknesses underline his true strength. All the leads play their roles well, and bring the fabulous comic book characters to life with ease. I only wish this could have been developed into a series because the only problem with a movie is that it has to cover so much ground in a short space of time. These characters develop quickly, but the movie is paced well and you find yourself happily coming along for the ride. One of the best scenes involved Peter Parker rescuing a kid from a fire and then realising that he could not save another from dying. Therein lies one of the key messages in this story - nobody can save everyone. The closing scene with Peter and Mary Jane really epitomises his selflessness and Mary Jane's strength of character. She is not just there as eye candy and you really feel she can be a real partner in future plots. Overall I would heartily recommend this movie to anyone, comfortably the best superhero film ever made. Lets just hope they continue to maintain films of this high standard.",9
"Umbrella Academy is one of the best shows. Awesome performances by all the cast. The series is a mix of emotions and moral values. The first season had me fully hooked, although the later seasons get weird. The time traveling makes the story complicated to follow, but the science fiction is spectacular.",7

"I have made a point of watching the movies, in order of course, and to say I have been disappointed is an understatement.Now I love fantasy movies and still think The Lord of the Rings Trilogy has yet to be bettered. I have found the HP franchise not good enough given the hype that surrounds them. That said I really quite enjoyed this first part of the final film - Daniel, Rupert and even Emma were so much better in this than the earlier films. The only other one I liked was The Order of the Phoenix even though it was about half an hour too long. The Deathly Hallows Pt 1 is a much more grown up movie and is the better for it. I would say it is even genuinely scary in parts. Daniel Radcliffe in particular is maturing as an actor and has had a difficult job carrying so many movies - if he had been no good then the whole thing would not have worked.",7
"I watch Community and it's funny most of the time. Some episodes are not so good but overall I think it's a good sitcom so why does this show have such bad ratings on NBC? I don't understand how a show can have so many fans but yet not be as popular as ""2 Broke Girls"" or ""How I met Your Mother"". Community has been on NBC for years now and it still can't get really good ratings. How did this happen and can this change? The Nielsen ratings for Community is at best average for NC and when compared to ABC & CBS & FOX then the ratings are really not good so how can NBC turn this around? It seems to me that smart sitcoms do not make NBC any money which is really sad. If NBC puts it back on Thursday night and if ""Community"" continues to get medium ratings do you think that NBC will keep it around long enough for syndication or do you think that NBC will continue to see the writing on the wall and try to be more like ABC & CBS?",1
"Don't wast your time on this film; unless of course you like dialogue that a 10 year old could come up with in an afternoon, actors which are so clueless to the pathetic nature of the script that they actually believe it, a far fetched storyline full of holes, stereotypes, and overstatement, and overall American over stimulation and complete lack of thought. Spiderman 2 is a worthless excuse for good film. It matters not that it is a comic book film; it was horribly made, relying completely on the special effects and pulling the audience towards the next fight scene. It is a ridiculous film with absolutely no enjoyment or worth. Avoid it. 2/10",1
"Just please, wait until you're far into the show to rate it, because this thing is not instant gratification. Did you expect marvel to make a full on sitcom?? Have you watched the trailers?? Those who reviewed it the day it came out, watch more, you'll enjoy it much more.",7
"I think that critics were a little harsh on the movie. It wasn't as bad as they make it out to be. I do think that a more well-known villain should've been chosen, however, I think that Tom Hardy did an amazing job as Eddie Brock and that he should be in the next couple movies involving Venom. I can't wait for Venom 2, because I am excited to finally see a live-action Carnage.",5
"Moving through the deep shadows and heavy glooms of his vast estate, Michael Corleone presides over the destruction of his own spirit in ""The Godfather, Part II."" The character we recall from ""The Godfather"" as the best and brightest of Don Vito's sons, the one who went to college and enlisted in the Marines, grows into a cold and ruthless man, obsessed with power. The film's closing scenes give us first a memory of a long-ago family dinner, and then Michael at mid-life, cruel, closed, and lonely. He's clearly intended as a tragic figure. The Corleone saga, as painted by Francis Ford Coppola and Mario Puzo in two films totaling nearly seven hours, has been a sort of success story in reverse. In a crazy way, ""The Godfather"" and its sequel belong in the same category with those other epics of immigrant achievement in America, ""The Emigrants"" and ""The New Land."" The Corleone family worked hard, was ambitious, remembered friends, never forgave disloyalty, and started from humble beginnings to become the most powerful Mafia organization in the country. Coppola seems to hold a certain ambivalence toward his material. Don Vito Corleone as portrayed by Marlon Brando in ""The Godfather"" was a man of honor and dignity, and it was difficult not to sympathize with him, playing with his grandchild in the garden, at peace after a long lifetime of murder, extortion, and the rackets. What exactly were we supposed to think about him? How did Coppola feel toward the Godfather? The flashbacks give Coppola the greatest difficulty in maintaining his pace and narrative force. The story of Michael, told chronologically and without the other material, would have had really substantial impact, but Coppola prevents our complete involvement by breaking the tension. The flashbacks to New York in the early 1900s have a different, a nostalgic tone, and the audience has to keep shifting gears.",10

"Started season three because I couldn't decide on anything else to watch. Season 1 was ok, and season 2 was tolerable although it ended poorly. The first episode of season 3 was so stupid that I can't continue. The characters have just become more and more annoying, and I am so sick of Dr. Smith and everyone's willingness to give her another chance and blindly believe her lies.",5
"I wait very long to watch it. Now I finally watch i can say that the first episodes left me with a strange feeling: the actors are excellent and the story develops very interesting ways. I didn't like the direction and the presentation of the special investigator's nightmares is excessive and takes up too much space. Some forensics are too hastily presented without attention to detail. At a time when platforms are full of crime mystery series I don't think it's one of the best. When you undertake to continue a masterpiece (silence of the lambs) and render an iconic book, more care is needed. Although I keep watching.",4
"I LOVE this show. I love the characters. I love the tone, the directing, the writing, the cinematography, the music, and ESPECIALLY the fight scenes. I can see everything, they are so clear and well-done with some amazing long one-take shots.

The best complement I can give this show is that it made me, to the full extent of the word, LOVE the character Daredevil/Matt Murdock.

Season 1: 9 stars (4 viewings, 12/24/2021, 12/31/2023).

Too awesome. Captivating. Well-made in every way. Beastly music. So many powerful moments. Beautiful non-linear storytelling. One of my favorite villains. Gg.

Season 2: 10 stars (5 viewings, 1/6/2022, 1/3/2024).

Amazing, exciting, well-made, phenomenal fight scenes, intense, deep, thrilling, captivating, enthralling, elektrafying, punishing, daredeviling.

This season masterfully juggles numerous storylines and characters. And the newly introduced characters take this show to the next level. There are 100 scenes/moments that I adore. At one point I started to wonder if this show was made specifically for me, Truman Show style.

Season 3: 9 stars (3 viewings, 3/6/2022, 1/7/2024).

Too awesome. So suspenseful even in the non-action scenes. The stakes always feel high. Super entertaining. Great music. Awesome fight scenes. And they continue adding great characters, like Dex and Nadeem. Plus they masterfully demonstrate Fisk's genius.",9
"This will just be short and sweet. This film did sound interesting to me when I first heard about it. Since, the previews from certain people about this film sounded good. So, when at a game store I saw this film and decided to buy it. I have to tell you I was expecting it to be very dramatic before I started watching it. And it was, alittle strange too. In my opinion, a film with a genre of Drama/Romance/Sci-Fi all combined does not mix well. I may be wrong but I think it does. This film probably have been better if its storyline was better. I had a lot of trouble following it. If it had been better to follow it I might have enjoyed it. I guess there was too much drama in the film. I don't know. I will have to give a ""3"".",3
"This has to be one of my favourite anime. It has all the tropes I usually wouldn't enjoy in a anime (random world changing events, super genius main character and reliance on shock comedy)

But it all comes into a medley because the show keeps going and carrying it with thoughtful science.

Instead of using science as a plot point, it more so seems like the creators are trying to teach people interesting stuff. And that gives the show a layer no other show has and it's ability to change the tone instantly is quite good.

Although I feel the pacing could be improved, they seem to rush things at times, some inventions come out of nowhere and are not acknowledged as much.

This is still a fantastic show.",9
"As much as I like Frances McDormand and Woody Harrelson, and the seemingly good intentions of this film, it is a mess of half-expressed ideas amid a mish-mash of politically correct logic and mores. McDormand's character, Marge, is a toxic robot of intolerance and simplistic vigilante justice attitude. The police are drawn as cartoonish bigots and creeps as though Black Lives Matter had written this script, and the story itself has no real structure, arc, or conclusion. It's not a comedy at all, and the basic morality of the story is a complete default to By Any Means Necessary and so forth. That this film should have just won Best Picture at the Golden Globes is a sad reflection on the academy.",2
"Devs is Alex Garland's flawed yet beautiful journey into the concept of free will. As far as performances go Nick Offerman as Forest is easily the standout and manages to show off his range as a dramatic actor. Sadly the same can not be said for the lead Lily Chan played by Sonoya Mizuno. I had a serious issue with her performance and character. If you asked me to describe Lily Chan, the only thing I would be able to tell you is that she wants to know what happened to her boyfriend. Throughout the show, characters will try to tell you that shes a go-getter and she's not afraid to take a chance, but I don't get that impression from her at all. To make matters worse Mizuno's performance lands completely flat and was a chore to get through at times, especially in contrast to Nick Offerman and some of the supporting actors. Although even with a pretty offensively bland main character, the show is still able to shine through it's presentation and concepts . Devs' cinematography and the VFX work is outstanding and the set design is A++. I love the architecture of the building where the actual Devs team works. Also the design of the actual free will machine Devs computer thing is just a chef's kiss. The score is also pretty badass and accompanies the sleek visuals very well. The over arching concept of free will is explored in an interesting way to where I'm thinking about the concept and I'm entertained, yet I don't feel like I'm listening to a TED talk. I would say to definitely give Devs a shot if you're interested in it's concept or visual work, but if you're looking for a rich character drama it might not be the one for you.",7
"This is a good show, it is definitely a solid 8 as that is the rating I have most episodes, the action and story are good, the characters are great as you would expect and some nice shocking moments, some negative would be it gets a little slow in some episodes and seems to go in a circle, but other then that I really enjoyed it.",7
The whole movie is fun Thier are so many scenes which will make you laugh. Its been a good 150 minutes for me. Everyone should watch this one.,10
"Black Panther is really just another predictable and average Marvel movie. Most Marvel movies I find enjoyable to a certain extent, and would usually rate a 6 or 7/10, but this movie falls short. The characters are weak, the writing and story are quite bland, the acting is whatever, and Black Panther himself is meh. The entire movie is really just a whole bunch of average and boring series of events that follow the cookie cutter format of any other superhero movie. What makes this movie slightly worse than your average superhero movie, is that the humor is terrible and it takes itself far too seriously. We are even treated to a ""What are those?!"" joke near the middle of the film. Overall, Black Panther is a slighlty below average film that you really don't have to watch.

P.S. There is no meaningful political commentary in this film. Don't listen to the people that say there is.",4
"am always interested in wathcing kung fu -martial arts action movies because of Brucie lee jet Li and Jackie Chan's movies...

one day i got chance to view this fantastic film on TV,it was funny some times and lightening action sometimes....

each n every scene of film well made and this film makes us think who's' real hero here... just before the climax we come to know who's he...!

action sequences are very well made -and i can say this is the best ever kung fu action movie ever...(other one i liked is ninja assassin - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1186367/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1)

if you want to witness a well made action film with breathtaking stunts watch it....

its worth to watch...

i give it 10/10 and it deserves much more......!!",10
Lazy and boring but still better than that falcon one. Wanda's was much better. Reviews are biased.,5
"Nothing impressed me, bland story, one dimensional characters, forced romance and comical dialogue.",3
"I was 14 years old when I sat down to watch the release of Pulp Fiction at the cinema. It was a significant moment as Tarantino set the bar for movie excellence.

Hate to say, but Once Upon a Time fell flat. I was bored. Not sure of the direction Tarantino was heading, but the first two hours had zero plot. An unnecessary two hour filler to get to a half hour climax.

Disappointing, but the actors were excellent. Brad Pitt carried the movie, he personifies old Hollywood glamour.",3
"I've seen pretty much all the MCU movies and this is - by far - the weakest of them all. Wooden acting acting (apart from Klaue), poor one-liners, and way too much over-the-top CGI (even by Marvel standards...) I understand why this movie is ""important""...and that's great...but that does not automatically make this a good film. I did enjoy some things - the history of Wakanda, the basic concept of the ""Black Panther"" in general, and the fact it didn't seem like every other MCU flick was a welcome change. I'd definitely be up for the sequel, and maybe now they've established this character they can actually concentrate on making a good movie instead of simply scoring points.",4
"It fails to entertain with a story. If you are after sexy blond type girls seducing men in hot scenes - not in this movie. Not much action either.

Only if you are die hard fan of Jennifer Lawrence, then well, go and see this, definitely. Her acting is exactly the same as in the trilogy, she is Katniss Everdeen again, only with poor Russian accent.

She can do much better. But not in this movie.",2
"Illogical occurance have displayed numbers of times . The military force of Bangladesh is not involved with any mafia group . Dhaka is not that bad what they showed in the movie .

"I love Wanda she's my favourite MCU character, i love Elizabeth Olsen. I Love Dr Strange and i love what Benedict has brought to the MCU. I stanned Raimis Spiderman movies. But oh my god. Sam Raimi was the worst choice for this. The directing is horrible. How is Sam making AMAZING actors be so so so bad? It's so cringey i almost can't watch it. I'm so angry and sad. The most cringe and unnescessary exposition lines, the horrible and awkwardly timed score, the awkward editing and the awful SFX. Ooff. I feel sad for the actors. They should have let Matt Shakman direct this.",2
"This show is incredible. It's every Marvel lover's dream. Have you ever wondered ""Well, what if _____ happened?"" This show explores that question. I made sure to wait til Episode 5 to write my review so that I'm not judging the show too early - but it was strong from the start. It really picks up after episode 2, and there are many questions it answers, while still leaving you wondering. The music is astonishingly good, and the animation is spot-on for this sort of genre. It is also a treat that many actors reprise their roles from the live action films.",9
"La La Land (2016) Written and directed by Damien Chazelle, and that's the problem. A textbook example of the folly of letting a writer direct his own script. I've rarely seen such a pretentious, muddled, incoherent mess. The basic problem is that Chazelle doesn't know whether he's written a romantic drama or a musical romance. An independent director would have cut and rewritten the script to be firmly one or the other. Either way, it would have been a good movie. As it is, two fine actors are wasted, as are some fine musicians and dancers. Worst of all, the movie was boring. Only plus: some well done jazz.",1
"A breath of fresh air regarding superhero media. The actors are impeccable (specially Homelander and Kimiko), the plot twists are always on point, and personally the role of Giancarlo Esposito just took the series to a whole different level. Also, finally some good gore being presented in streaming services.",8
"Pirates of the Caribbean is a film based on a Disney theme-park ride.

This over-long bore-fest is full to the gunnels with swashbuckling and other pirate-based antics. We have Johnny Depp putting in a very Deppy performance indeed, which is no doubt terrific for those who like that kind of thing. In this one he played a pirate in the style of Keith Richards. I personally would have much preferred it if he had did it in the vein of Bill Wyman instead. Wyman's famously slightly tedious personality would have fit this movie quite a bit better and would have been at least a little more amusing, with Captain Jack Sparrow spending a good portion of the film waxing lyrically about subjects as disinteresting as the differences between different types of wood or the differences between different types of flags. It would have been tiresome to watch I suppose but much less intolerable than Depp's irritating Rolling Stones pirate. Generally speaking, the story-line to this one was so tedious that I can't remember it very well at all and am not motivated enough to read the synopsis to remind myself. It seemed to incorporate zombies though, which on the face of it was an okay idea but there also seemed to be a lot of other bits involving people swing on ropes and running around, which I found increasingly more unacceptable as the film progressed. This wasn't for me I suppose, I preferred Captain Pugwash a lot more.",5
"We fell asleep the first three times attempting to watch this film. On high recommendation from respected theater friends, we finally suffered past the first sleepy 45 minutes and spent the remainder of the movie flummoxed at what kind of viewer could ever swallow the premise of this murder and the holes in the plot too numerous and too much of a spoiler to mention. Set in modern time, the viewer must somehow forget the way any modern murder investigation is conducted through evidence forensics, DNA, personnel, and crime labs. Plot hole is stacked atop plot hole and preposterous coincidence that makes for an impossible suspension of disbelief. Apart from the inane writing for only the most gullible, not a single character had anything resembling likeability. We didn't really care about a single character, regardless of the star studded cast. I found myself waiting for some spectacular and grabbing dialogue or interaction, but only found disappointment, similar to a Fourth of July fireworks volley of duds that go straight to the ground without an Ooo! or an Aaah! By the time the predictable plot twisting and lengthy, rambling and unbelievable whodunit monologue of the lead ""investigator"" (a private detective somehow given sole authority!) arrived, we could have cared less about the plot, the characters, the victim, the family, the bumbling investigators, the good natured nurse, or even the overly pretentious artsy scenery or filming. The most interesting person in this charade was the mute Great Grandmother! Clearly this was 2 hours we should have continued napping through. Conclusion: This should have been set as a period piece in the ""Downton Abbey"" times in order to make this 19th century investigating style believable. Or maybe written as a murder-mystery parody. This just didn't work.",3
"First 2 episodes were very promising and intriguing, directed by Justin Bateman who also performed as a main character. Then the next 8 episodes feel so long, dragging along the story with slow development and minor characters mixing it up.

The reason I kept watching was because of Cynthia Erivo's wonderful performance as Holly. Positive note to Ben Mendonsohn acting too.

In the end, I feel this could have been an 5 episode series or a 2h movie.",7
"This movie was a massive let down. It was never really funny and just kept pushing political issues in my face. I don't care about politics when I'm watching a movie, and I expect a well written story. This film is just bad, and I was actually interested in it. I had high expectations for this film and I think it did not deliver. It's not a valid social commentary because it does not prove there even is a patriarchy and give an example in real life. Actions speak louder than words and this movie is so overrated that I created an account just to leave a bad review. What did I even see in this film? It's a BARBIE MOVIE.",3
"It appears that big production space movies are suddenly the new craze in Hollywood after Gravity won some awards. While really good if you are in need of some sleep, don't venture out if you are in need of seeing a decent movie. There are many times that I see movies that I did not enjoy, but appreciate the special effects, soundtrack or acting. This movie possess none of the above.

The long and drawn out dialogue was incomprehensible and at other times, so soft that you couldn't understand it. Luckily I watched it in Switzerland and could read the German subtitles.

The movie starts out with a premise that our Earth is dying, although never really explains it well. We move on to figuring out how we can either save the Earth or move everyone to another planet. So far, so good.

But when the movie moved into black holes, the fifth dimension and ""them"" (I guess referring to aliens), I was lost and never allowed to return. The one plus about seeing a movie in Switzerland is that there is a 15 minute intermission. This was by far the best part of the movie as I sprung for some Gummy Bears to keep me awake for the final hour and forty minute second half.

I am sure someone will nominate this for an award...",2
"nolan has set standards which are unparalleled in recent times. saying that it some times works against such an immensely talented man who is just simply among my best directors of the current times. bat man begins was magic, and very few expected any thing that could better it. but he came back with much meaner sexier and dark sequel with dark knight... an amazing proof of creative fore sight and talent... now coming to inception... well it has surely awed many a viewers alike and is still collecting all the accolades it deserves purely out of its own merits. for a movie buff, this movie delivers everything that is promised. so don't even think even once to catch this movie at your near by theaters. but when comes to my personal take on this, please read it knowing that it is coming with lots of respect to my favorite director nolan. the concept though innovative is not a new idea. this has been there in lots of Japanese animae like the ghost in a shell. the story gets too predictable and a little jaded at times. nolan's talent always sparkled because his previous movies had subtle inner hidden messages and ideas in his movies... one could relate to his movies at so many different levels. compared to his previous efforts, this movie comes as a little two dimensional. apart from this minor hitch, it is still a very good movie for every one. its what they have come to term as a movie which compels you to think... and we are lucky to have directors like nolan who manages to give us such work of art every time he indulges us though his medium of movie making... thank you...!",7
"This is one of those shows everyone tells you to watch, that it's so brilliant and innovative and clever. And when you watch it and you find it completely dull and irritating, they tell you to stick with it, because it gets so much better later on.

Well, I stuck with it, and it never got better. It remained a self indulgent, meandering, unfunny mess of a show that seems to think it's cleverer than the source material and the audience, and yet can't actually string a single interesting mystery together throughout its interminable run.

Don't waste your time with this.",3
"I went into this expecting a Marvel created film but what I got was a disney animation mess. The first hour of the film was pointless and boring. Story was non-exsistent bringing characters that were never on the screen long enough to be explained, the animation for the most part was alright until the bright colours start giving you a headache. Really not sure why this has so many 10/10 ratings unless ofc people are fake hyping which is what most of the reviews seem to show. Best to stick to what your good at Marvel and it's not this.",5
"Disrespectful towards Italians; the writing around Ferrari is just like about Super Mario tbh; poor, cheesy, childish; maybe Hollywood should keep its mediocre movies made exclusively for patriotic and nationalistic reasons, to Americans only. Also, I thought Bale was exquisite playing the mad boxer part a while back, which earned him an Oscar - he tries the same here, but soulless. Should have the option to give it zero.",1
"They used the show and characters to push their own political agenda. The Falcon doesn't stand for the same principles and ideals that Cap stood for; the ideals that made this country great. Falcon might as well be wearing a BLM suit. Captain America was an icon that represented the purity of a true American; colorblind and just. Disney's Falcon is just a disgraceful re-imagining of Cap's values for the ""woke"" crowd and solely focused on race. I loved all three in the MCU movies ( Cap, WS and Falcon) but Disney will now used them as puppets for the far left and destroy the legacy that Stan Lee created. At least wandavision was decent and devoid of political agendas.... 8/10 for Wandavision.",1
An average comedy with two big names could of been more or at least done more dumb plot could of been a better plot I was expecting a clue like movie this doesn't even come close save yourself the time and skip this and watch the week of Sandler is better in that!,5
"I've probably seen season 1 over 5 times now and it never gets old ( it is probably the most rewatch able show ever because of the short length and crazy stupid action ). It's simply incredible. The sheer amount of crazy characters is amazing. The action is absolutely mind blowing and is just so exciting! I really love the main idea behind the show, of how a hero is too strong...this is something that hasn't ever been seen(as far as I know) and it really helps to create a hilarious and fun new take on superheroes. I just had to give season one a 10/10, there isn't a single episode that I would rate below 8/10 which is baffling. I love how fast paced the episodes are, they don't waste any time throwing you knee deal into the new original plot of the each episode. It just saddens me that season 2 doesn't quite live up to the high expectations it had, but still amazing first season!",9
"There was a time (roughly a year ago) when people were gushing over a little-known sci-fi/dramedy/who-knows-what-genre-to-classify-it-as film that was billed as being equal parts zany as it was heartwarming. It was also directed by a duo calling themselves ""Daniels.""

'Everything Everywhere All at Once' is surely a unique film, but its quality is very much dependent on what movies you're into. To call 'Once' an ""over the top"" story is an understatement - there is so much packed into these 139 minutes that it's hard to keep track of it, and I think that's probably the point. Despite the ridiculousness going on all around her, Michelle Yeoh proves that she can take on a challenge, as she is able to roll with the punches (quite literally from Jamie Lee Curtis' IRS auditor) and do so while maintaining a sense of dignity. Ke Huy Quan and Stephanie Hsu do alright in their supporting roles, but Yeoh is clearly the main attraction here.

As for the rest of the film, it's a complete mess. The plot is mid (as the kids say), the execution is poor, and there's really no redeeming qualities to 'Once.' Sure, it's clear the theme is the importance of family and righting the wrongs from one generation to the next, but there is a way to get at this in a much more straightforward way. But the counterpoint to this is, ""well, yeah, then this film wouldn't be unique,"" which may be true. But who cares!

While there clearly is an audience out there for these types of stories, I'm hard-pressed to figure out why.",3
I am an Adam Sandler fan. I went into this movie with high hopes. They left pretty quickly. The constant screaming and talking over each other made the movie exhausting to watch. There were no surprises. You pretty much knew what was going to happen from beginning to end. I went to see it based off of the reviews. Next time I will read the reviews from people who saw it NOT the critics.,3
"From the trailers, I was a little suspicious going in. However, the show is not nearly as weird as the trailers make it out to be. Sure, there are some weird, loony songs played during fight sequences and there is time travel like the trailers suggest, but it somehow fits.

The show quickly finds what it wants to be and never wavers. This is a strange world full of expressive, deranged people. The premise is based off of a comic book, but the show has fun with the concept. The show sends a message that it can change on the flip of a dime and will not look back. The characters are all so different in such a fun way because of their powers.

Each are used in very unique ways to the story except for one. Allison, played by Emmy Raver-Lampman, does absolutely nothing but talk to other members of the family and does not move the plot forward, at least for the first few episodes. All of the other siblings have a place in the story that I will not give away in this review.

The satisfactory part of the show for me was the use of old music. I like to consider myself a music lover and was happy to hear some really popular songs. There are some songs from bands that are obscure and that I did not know, but that is what I love about the show. The show may be from a comic book, but appeals to a wide variety of people.

Lastly, please watch the show! I have nothing but praise to say!",7
"""Fan"" is a film that gives you that rare feeling of complete satisfaction. In its core this is a thrilling revenge story told with unusual characters plots and even casting. Untold stories always captivate the viewers and 'Fan' does exactly the same thing. Starting off in a happy mood, Fan goes through the usual character intro and song dance numbers. SRK as Gaurav did a wonderful and convincing performance as a young boy obsessed with film actor. SRK also portrays Aryan, the actor, Gaurav's victim, quite brilliantly. The revenge plot in this film is very unique in a sense, the film does show how the world of a God can be shaken down by a seemingly powerless mortal. The film as a whole was very surprising with its story arc. Maneesh Sharma in the director's chair, did a terrific job in telling this beautiful story. Looking forward to his 'Tiger' film. What goes unnoticed during the entire film is the supremely flawless VFX work. Unbelievably magical. Red chillies is breaking barriers with every film. RaOne, Fan and Zero are perhaps the best advertisements of Red Chillies VFX ( also kudos to SRK the producer and founder of the company). SRK beneath all his stardom and glory is a person who is in love with cinema, giving his best in every project.",10
"The story is quit connect to the last YouTube TV series ( Dhindora ). I feel like there are minor different between these TV series. Overall, the TV series was enjoyable and any age people can watch and enjoy the story. I give this TV series solid 7 out of 10. All cost doing there job very brilliantly. The story plot was good, and content with various twists, which was much enjoyable. The story line is so interesting that you won't even feel the length of the series. There's not a minute in any episode where you get bored, it completely make you feel like you are in there. It is so much better than most Bollywood movies. I mean it.",7
How does this have such a high score. Writing and directing is 2nd rate. Strong cast is direcred poorly and rrting hard with a really poor script. IMDB user review scores (8.6) are usually fairly close to the mark but not on this occasion.,3
"Shouting since the first minute until ending credits roll up.
Colourless content. Not much ups and downs.
I fast forwarded it the whole movie. Still think it's wasting time.
Characters have no relation to each other.",3
"My favorite piece of media of all time. Season 1 starts off pretty mid though.

Apparently I need 150 characters so I will talk about how I think Dante Basco is really cool and a great guy and I might mention that in my humble opinion this show is great and on my first watch through in over 10 years it made me wish bending was a thing again at the age of 17.

Good.",10
The story is good but overall the movie is not as per the expectation.. needs to be improved.,1
"Monica ,O My Beauty is a breath of fresh air. We have watched several crime drama movies but this one is a niche.

Excellent script and storytelling is exceptional. All the actors have performed brilliantly and unrevealing of the truths is quite subtle which keeps the audience on their seats.

Flavour of retro music and songs adds a tadka to the already mesmerizing dish.

Nothing has gone wrong for this flick.

The end of this movie has been left open for the viewers to guess but not difficult to derive.

The movie comes from Netflix when there is no good Bollywood movies to enjoy on OTT platforms in the recent times.",9
"I expected this series to get great IMDB review ratings, but was shocked to see so many reviews giving it between 1 to 2 stars. We must not be watching the same series. The Lost in Space I'm watching is well written, with excellent casting for each of the roles, the acting is very good, the special effects are top notch, and the episodes are suspenseful. It must be costing Netflix a small fortune to produce this reboot of a campy classic show from the 60s.

Yes, portions of the storyline are hard to believe such as the type of fuel used by the Jupiters; however, overall, my wife and I have enjoyed each episode looking forward to the next one. My wife has never been a sci-fi fan, but is just as interested in the show as I am. Maybe, you have to be at least partially of a ""techy geek"" to enjoy it. I do work in the IT industry and everyone of my IT colleagues that have watched at least one episode have given it a thumbs up.

Looking forward to the 2nd season, but it's probably not going to come to fruition if the series doesn't get better reviews than what I'm seeing on IMDB.",9
"More bland pg13 goodness, kinda like what we got last time venom was on film. I would've probably enjoyed it a lot more if they hadn't sold out on the R rating. Tom Hardy tries to save the film, but can only do so much.",4

"Another high rated film from netflix that self perpetpuates due to number of views. There is no getting away from it, it's a stinker, frustatingly pointless and ridiculous. I cannot make it across my bedroom at night without a light on with banging into something, but Bullock can go through forests, down rivers etc blindfolded. The whole film just wound me up, luckily I could go into the kitchen when it all got too much, having to escape from a film is never a good sign.",2
"Some people want to kill John wick and that's all there is to it , just one boring fight after another. Some nice looking sets but no storyline. One of the worst movies I've seen",2
"I always go for these types of crazy, imaginative, unique, out-there, weird movies. I give major props for the ambition and for showing me so many things I've never seen before. And the fight scenes, although scarce, are pretty awesome. Unfortunately this movie really doesn't work for me.

The first major issue is the comedy. I laughed a few times but most of the comedy fell completely flat for me. Comedy is subjective, so others might feel differently. My audience laughed more than me but not nearly as much as the movie wanted them to.

Another major issue is the weird factor. It goes way too far. Most of it is amusing but at some point it starts feeling weird for weird's sake. This is especially true when it comes to the story. There's not enough concrete to grasp onto. It starts feeling like a bunch of nonsense.

Lastly, the pacing and narrative don't feel smooth at all. It was difficult to tell where I was in the movie (for example, nearing the climax). Here's my theory on why:

Some movies will have what I call an epiphany moment. A moment where everything comes together, usually accompanied by heightened musical score and flashes to different moments. It usually happens in the climax and evokes emotion. In this movie, the epiphany moments comprise what seems like 35% of the movie. Scattered throughout the movie, not just at the end. But nothing ever comes together. It just keeps getting stranger with more questions.

In the end I had a pretty bad time with this movie. And I'm annoyed I drove 40 minutes to watch it in one of two theaters playing it in the Chicagoland area, which has 100+ theaters. (1 viewing, 4/4/2022)",3
"It seldom happens after watching a Bollywood movie that you walk out assured that this has to be a Hollywood remake, going by the quality of the script and the execution, and then are surprised that it isn't. This is what happened to us when we came back home after watching KCK. First thing I did was checked on the internet but couldn't find any hint of this (to my happiness, surely I'll be disappointed if someone told me that it is a copy). KCK is a fresh flavour in an industry where outdated recipes are the order of the day.

The strongest point of the movie is the script. Taut and to the point. No fuss, no time wasted on useless banter. In the first ten minutes, you are in a 'zone' and that continues for the next 2 hours. The soundtrack is well embedded into the movie and the camera-work has a youthful feel to it.

We didn't have big expectations from the movie, being our first Farhan Akhtar enacted movie, and we only know him more as a director. But he surely lives up to it with a good rendition of Karthik (and surely takes up most of the screen area). Deepika Padukone doesn't have a lot to do, and it could have been any other girl with no big difference. Ram Kapoor and Shefali do well in their limited roles.

Wake Up Sid, Rocket Singh, 3 idiots and now KCK. In my opinion, Bollywood is taking a turn and for the good.",8
"Pulp Fiction was filmed in 1994 in the city of Los Angeles. This movie falls into the film genre under action thriller. This movie fits well into the typical crime drama that we all know so well. This movie has two hit men, a boxer, his girlfriend, and a gangster's wife. The main point of the story is the two hit mean Vincent Vega and Jules are on a mission to retrieve a briefcase that has something mysterious insides that leaves the audience guessing. While the two men are on their quest, they encounter some problems like a restaurant robbery, a dead body in the back of their car, and a boxer on the run. The editing and the transition in this film were amazing and had perfect timing to make the movie flow smooth. There were perfect establishing shots that set up the scenes and give you an idea of what the story line was going to look like. The sound of music throughout the movie had good synchronous sound. The music fits into the background and the scenes really pop and fit together with the sound effects that were chosen. Some of those scenes would not have been as intense if the right music was not put into the correct places. This movie is hard not to get emotionally involved in. As stated above, the music or score elicit plays a major part in making scenes related to the audience. For example, the car scene where the gun goes off accidentally and the sound effect off the gun going off has a huge impact on someone's feeling and the way they react to it. This is not the only scene where music comes into play and makes an impact on the viewers. Cinematography is another art of film making that supports the tone of the movie. The camera perspective, the positions, and the camera distances. Pulp Fiction uses a variety of zoom shots and deep focus shots that you have eye level shots that really focus in on the characters and capture their facial expressions. The angels and the position of the camera really allows the audience to be involved in the film. Everything that it takes to make this film happen works through the magic of cinematography. After watching this film for the first time, I can't say I can pin point the meaning of the movie. There are three different story's that happened within this film and they are tied together to make the film a true thriller. I believe every movie has a story behind each one and something to tell the audience about morals and everyday decisions with the impact of real life situations. Being a first time viewer and not knowing what to expect I had no personal influences or any biases that made my decision regarding this film. I loved everything about the movie, the plot, and the characters. Pulp Fiction was well written and directed and I loved it. This movie was enjoyable to me because it had twists and turns and it kept me guessing about the briefcase. I was able to follow the dialog and stay interested throughout the entire movie without missing any key points.After everything is said and done I would 100% recommend this movie to anyone looking for a new action thriller. The actors are mind blowing and the movie is so different in a way that's hard to explain without viewing it for yourself. Nothing about this film will disappoint you and it will leave you wanting more.",2
"Below average. I don't see what people see The show is a typical superhero film but adds up a little of twists there and there but s all the same kind of hot trash. If you don't like superheros you wonlt like this

I don't know why its so recommended as something different from superheroes and that non fans of superheros would like it. Its ont.

Its also filled with hamfisted politics out of nowhere and a lot of times, gets worse as you go. I want to watch things for entertainment not a lecture.

The only positive thing I can say is they casted a good looking villian in Jensen ackles but that's about it really.",2
"This is not Marvel, this is not superheros, and THIS IS NOT FUNNY. This was just awful and painful to watch. Having a root canal was a more pleasurable experience than having to watch this. Just...No.",1
"I liked ""Fargo."" It is a very good movie, with a great deal of originality and spectacular performances by Frances McDormand and William H. Macy. McDormand definitely deserves her Oscar, although it's a bit tragic that Macy didn't get one, since he gives the better performance (although I emphasize that both performances are spectacular). The film also presents an interesting contrast, with complications, violence, and sin on one side, and simple folksy down-home humanity on the other. It is this contrast that makes ""Fargo"" difficult to categorize. Crime plays a central role in the story and yet it's not a crime story, thriller, or mystery. The scenes with Frances McDormand are laugh-out-loud hilarious (and she is a true master of the art of awkward smiles for awkward moments), and yet the film is not a comedy (not even a black comedy). It's a different kind of film altogether.

And yet, I can't quite join the critics in calling this ""one of the greatest films ever made"" or ""the best film of 1996"" or anything like that. It is a very good movie. The Coen brothers are talented filmmakers. But, when I watched ""Fargo,"" I felt like something was missing. I can't quite put my finger on what, though. There's just some je ne sais quoi that's missing from this film.

Maybe I felt like the link between the violent plot and the comedic plot was not strong enough, that they were connected, but not strongly enough. Maybe I thought the movie was driven too strongly by the characters and not enough by the plot. I usually love character-driven stories more than plot-driven ones. (The character-driven films of Martin Scorsese, especially ""Taxi Driver,"" are probably my favorite films). Yet, maybe I was looking for a bit more plot in ""Fargo."" I really don't know. But there's something that's preventing ""Fargo"" from being one of the greatest films of all time, and I don't know what it is.",7
"This movie was by far the worst film I've ever seen. The plot makes no sense. I wanted to punch every character in existence. They did Sandra Bullock dirty. She has fantastic films but this movie isn't that. I was very disappointed, it also caused a very dangerous challenge which most of us will not forget. Horrible.",1
I didn't know what to expect from this but decided to watch it after finding myself laughing through the entire opening action sequence. I've become bored with Hollywood and am sick to death of the propaganda that the military industrial complex pushes through the multi billion dollar film industry. However the comic book over the top action and comedic delivery from all actors had me in stitches through most of the film. Not much of a story though. The location filming was impressive and something I would expect from a blockbuster movie rather than something out of Netflix so kudos there.,5
"My first film after a long time spent on multipart series. I found this mildly entertaining but without a lot of substance. The two lead actors performed brilliantly - a real tour de force.

But the plot was thin and predictable, and all the shouting was tiresome. It was verging on comedy but never quite making it. I've seen far more amusing digs at US family life.

I read a lot of strong reviews but I just don't agree with them.",5
After a long break i saw one of best movie in 2020. Thinks a lot Anurag Basu making such kind of cinema 🙏💯💯,9
"I don't understand the hype of this movie.

Singers were sub par like the acting.

Songs were not memorable or entertaining.

Cliche, cliche, cliche.

Ugh, get me out. Walked out with about 30 mins left of the movie as my girlfriend herself was not enjoying it as well! Just sad.",1
"WOW! Big superstars! AMAZING special effects! Guns! Romance! WHAT a great film! A really original plot too!

I am of course, lying.

The Matrix really wasn't all that great. The special effects, while being pretty good as they were, were: A) first seen in Gap adverts B) just there for the sake of it, and they really added nothing.

As for the plot, I could see about three films from which it was seemingly stolen, the far superior Dark City on particular.

The pathetic attempt at romance was disastrously tacked on at the end, for no reason, and Reeves's performance wasn't really that great.

Just another big bad Hollywood nothing. Shame.",4
"Only 3 episodes in but this show is the nuts. I imagine if people did have powers, THIS is what it would be like, not avengers risking their lives just for the greater. With power comes great responsibility but also greater temptation, and in a world where a lot of peoples validation now comes from their revenue, I believe the superhero world has (and most probably will) never be depicted with this much truthfulness.",9
"I gave it 6 because there are some good acting in this film, the plot was awful, no need for ""007"" unless you need to promote the picture and catch some more $. I know it is a low budget film but a better casting would have make it unforgettable.",6
"Was looking forward to this after the first offering. This movie was awful, it was that bad I am having problems writing how bad it was without using bad language. Do not pay to watch this. The actors were probably laughing all the way to the bank, they will need it as this film could ruin a few. Life after James Bond for Daniel Craig, ASDA adverts for him in future. Only another 300 characters to go. I am wondering if I could just cut and paste the word rubbish, because it is just rubbish, a pile boring nonsense. Please avoid this film at all costs, it shows you how bad it is because it made it on Netflix the same year as it's release.",4
"This is one of those movies that causes you to reach deep down in yourself and think. For example, I was thinking, ""Did I turn off the iron? Why did I pay so much for popcorn?"" I'm sure the producers were thinking, ""Hey, they are so far into it now, we can throw up any thing on the screen and still make buckets of money. But let's have Daniel Radcliff take off his shirt so they won't know they've been suckered."" Even if you're read the book and watched the other movies, the plot is incomprehensible. The movie consists of a bunch of action sequences strung together with no regard for the story.

At least I didn't pay to watch it in 3D.",3
"I watched this for the first time when I was 25 and WOW was I surprised! I never wanted to watch it growing up when it was on Nickelodeon, but I'm so glad I finally have. The writing is entertaining and funny and has a lot of philosophical deeper meaning I really appreciate as an adult. The characters are diverse and develop over the seasons. Each episode is filled with adventure, beautiful imagery and fun. It's hard to not binge when you get started! I enjoyed watching each character grow and find they're purpose throughout the seasons. There are a lot of simple and complex life lessons about friendship, spiritual insight, and harmony.",10
"Though it has been proved several times throughout our history that nice guys finish last, Abel Morales (Oscar Isaac) is determined to be a good man and a successful business executive. But times are tough, and it's 1981 — the most crime-riddled year in New York's history. Take the first few minutes of the film, for instance. Just as he's making an important deal, one of his cargo drivers is severely beaten by some enemy henchmen who steal the truck. Abel wants to conduct his company as smoothly as possible (what businessman doesn't?), but fighting violence with violence seems to be the only answer to his problems as of late. Adding to the increasing difficulties is the District Attorney (David Oyelowo), who is certain that misconduct is plaguing the finances of the company.

In his third feature as a director, J.C. Chandor pays homage to the neo-noirs of Brian De Palma and Sidney Lumet, mimicking their underlying ferociousness with unwavering detail regarding the human side of the crime world. His other features (""Margin Call"", ""All Is Lost""), unseen by me, were lauded by critics for their virtuosic filmmaking. ""Margin Call"", a fictional account of the financial crisis of 2008, was praised for its crackling dialogue and unwavering tension; ""All Is Lost"", a near-silent depiction of a shipwreck, gave Robert Redford the role of a lifetime and acted as a thriller without the flash of its peers.

Three movies into his career, it's clear that Chandor doesn't want to be a director sidelined to a particular genre like Hitchcock. He wants to flow in-between different styles and moods, a Howard Hawks of the 2010s. ""A Most Violent Year"" is a top-notch crime drama, but not in the ways you might expect. It's not the story that compels us, not the dialogue, but the acting, the tone, the directing. The film is as atmospheric as the best of its kind can get. Like a prisoner buried alive in an underground catacomb, ""A Most Violent Year"" traps us in its yellowing, graffiti adorned world; even the good guys mesh with the bad. The sweet smell of success is much too difficult to pass by.

I can't say that I was truly entertained by ""A Most Violent Year"" — rather than run alongside its all too rare intelligent characteristics, I instead appreciated them. But sometimes, appreciation can be just as powerful as entertainment itself. Chandor is supremely confident in his writing and his directing, giving us further reasoning as to why he is already becoming one of the best filmmakers of the decade. If we are ever bored with the film itself (which is a seldom concern), we aren't with Chandor, who gives every shot a great deal of grimy beauty and venomous snap.

Matching Chandor's rising talents are Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac, college classmates whose careers seem to be hitting their peaks at the exact same time; Chastain announced her presence to the world in 2011 with an impressive six movie run (including ""The Tree of Life"" and ""The Help""), and Isaac, coming out of nowhere, made himself an actor for the ages as the titular character in 2013's ""Inside Llewyn Davis"". ""A Most Violent Year"" finds them at the top of their respective games. Isaac jumps from unyielding to exposed, from weak to authoritative, at a constant pace, providing for one of the finest performances of 2015. Chastain, dawning a look only matched by Elvira Hancock, commands every scene she's in as the person keeping Standard Oil afloat as her husband refuses to corrupt himself and his company.

""A Most Violent Year"" is an unbelievably well-directed and well-acted film, but missing is its ability to compel. Though never boring, the atmosphere is more gritty than it is truly tense, and there are a few too many characters that show up with interesting pieces of dialogue but never do much else. No matter: Chandor, in a short time, has revealed himself to be a decade defining filmmaker.",7
"the castigador has become the best marvel netflix series next to the first season of daredevil at the moment. All this thanks to an excellent script, character development and cast in addition to sublime action scenes that are not afraid to use blood when required. I have certainly fulfilled all my expectations and I hope netflix continue making series like this.",8
It just like if I was there with them I really love the idea of the movie... New idea in in very different and wonderful way.... I love it,7
"Really good story. Good message. Fine direction. It can be best understood by viewers from developing countries. Very inspirational. Whenever I watch this movie I want to solve problems in my society right away without pointing blames on others. In many ways this movie is better than Lagaan. A. R. Rahman's music is awesome. The music that played during work on hill gives really good feeling when you hear it during some physical work.

One of the best messages in the movie was ""Mann say Ravan jo nikalay Ram uskay man main hey"". Though I'm a Muslim, but I do know about Hindu culture. Ravan is evil in Hindu literature an Ram and good. Good is in the his heart who takes evil out of it.",9
"As a citizen of Bangladesh, it is concerning to observe the portrayal depicted in this movie. There are several instances where the representation of Bangladesh's overall ambiance has been grossly misrepresented to global audiences. Firstly, Dhaka is depicted akin to war-torn, economically distressed regions like Iraq or Syria, which is far from the reality. Secondly, the constant portrayal of the police and army engaged solely in combating terrorism fosters a fictitious narrative. Thirdly, evident errors such as misspelling 'Bengali' on the poster, the exaggerated prominence of auto-rickshaws in the streetscape, inadequate portrayal of the Bengali language by Dhaka's criminals, and the misrepresentation of Dhaka residents' lifestyle and character as resembling those from another country are disconcerting. Such oversights raise questions about the director's attention to detail and cultural sensitivity.",4
"In class we watched parts of this movie (my teacher skipped through to show us parts of this movie he thought were important.) on the one hand, this movie tells an important story and there's a lot of good performances but on the other hand it's not that good of a movie.

Long takes are impressive when they show something but the director clearly thought that the only part that's important is that the shot goes on forever. There are so many scenes and shots in this movie that go on far longer than necessary. If I hadn't been forced to watch it I would probably have stopped watching it because of all the painfully obvious filler. Why does a story like this need to pad the runtime? Why are (not all but several) of the conversations so padded with breaks between lines so long it's almost as if they were going to put a laugh track in. Pacing is super important when it comes to movies and while this movie could've been great it's held back with poor filmmaking.

I'm probably not going to go back and watch the whole thing. Even if there wasn't the annoying pauses I don't really like movies like this anyways.",6
"I almost quit watching about halfway through the first episode. It seemed kind of silly and over the top. However, this all changes when the show starts to take on dark and perhaps sinister undertones. I think this series will be a mystery that slowly starts to unravel with each episode.",9
"Very entertaining, sci-fi, dark and comedic. Very well done. However Karl Urban...terrible portrayal of a Brit, just be a kiwi!!! I've never seen such a terrible British accent and over the top stereotypical 'slang'...truly awful. Good job it has everything else going for it.",9
"I like the actors in the movie (especially santa), but it was too hard to follow and just too strange for me. To each his own. Would not recommend to anyone.",4
"4 episodes in and this isbutterly predictable with minimally engaging individual performances. I can't get around the feeling that they are just recycling old story lines. While both Grey Worm and Missandei were absolutely horrendous performances in GoT, House of the Dragon seems to make mediocre acting the new normal. Nothing about this has been special so far, not even the CGI. Hard to believe someone signed off on this. I really hope that the character arcs and the plot thickens at least somewhat, because if it continues like this, I'm not sure I'll be able to continue to watch it.

I understand that this is based on one of Martin's novel, but surely there has to be a way to make this less terrible than it ultimately is.",4
"The camera work is just Ok

Great movie as, it shows clearly how the process goes of a pandemic, from the really start.

Love how the music support much of the movie especially in nonverbal scenes. The camera work is great as it highlights much of the elements that seems like nothing especially in normal day and switching scenes from scenes.

Would be better if the movie is tracing back, instead of telling the storyline in a logical order.

It also shows the deep complexity and bureaucratic of this problem. Therefore, making it that hard to solve problems.

The human element plays a very vital role, especially the natural behavior, what is well done. Shows also how extreme it can be. Also, different point of views on the problem. It comes from civilized to barbaric in the flick of a moment.

Acting is well played, Decor massively well done, even if they are purely focused on America.

It is true that it has been taken to an extreme.

Twist and turns in the movie make it that interesting to watch and also keep on going, there are moments that are lengthily and could speed up a bit.

Love the closure, the ending was nothing rushed like in the movie, a pleasant movie to watch and to follow.

It is true, I miss out some rushing of adrenaline and keeping me on my toes actions, like in day after tomorrow kind.",4
"There's absolutely no pay off to be had plot wise here. Nothing to see here people. Fast forward through to the last hour and you're good. You will have missed nothing.

This movie was either way too long or just nowhere near long enough. This was supposed to be a part II of conclusion that wraps up an entire universe of characters spanning 20 movies and they couldn't be arsed to give us a third act?

Unfortunately, they titled the movie Avengers: Endgame, and making a sequel to that would be nearly as bad as having a movie titled Rambo: First Blood Part II. What would they have called a third movie? Avengers: The Really Real End Time, Place, Realm. (No, we honestly mean it this time.)

Sadly, the first hour or so of the movie is Ant Man trying to save a tacked on, marketing driven first act that pays off in no way. Meanwhile, also tied to marketing, some major plot holes and omissions were completely egregious.

A large portion of the principle photography for this movie was done alongside side Infinity Wars itself, which would've made sense if they'd had a coherent story line by then.

Leave it to the screenwriters, they'll make something of it. Leave it to the editors, they'll fix it in post. Well, somebody forgot to fix it. And it wasn't me. Fortunately, marketing fixes everything.

Let's face it, there are two kinds of people in this world: those who for a final movie who are just going to love it no matter what, those who view the movie with the same critical eye they would the others, and those who decide that there can only be two types of people.

Why are there always two kinds of people? Look at Loki! Now that's an interesting character. He can be good; he can be bad. He's fiendish and lovable. He's a hero and a villain and an anti-hero and-still, somehow-human, god, and ice thing.

Honestly, Infinity Wars couldn't have come at a worse time. It was originally a much larger unification of Marvel heroes and villains, and now that Disney owns all of the other Marvel Universe crap, that movie could've been the Infinity Wars, with a plot that started to wrap up before the last movie.

Ah well, maybe in 20 years they'll redo the whole thing again with the X-Men and Silver Surfer in it (take or leave the Fan-4. This is super likely.

I heard Spider Man: Far From Home was really really good, but I have no desire to see it. Why? Because it sounds to me like Spider Man visits France for Holiday and Meets some Good Guys and some Bad Guys and forces you to watch the credits so you can see 30 seconds that tease you into watching the next movie that's just going to do the same thing.",3
"Genuinely shocked at how good this series is. It is such a weird, new spin that I haven't seen before. I loved it. It manages to be so comedic at one point, while still building anticipation. I loved how it ended on a high and wasn't dragged out - I don't think a season 3 is needed.",9
"There is a reason why Shah Rukh Khan is known for his intense roles. This film brings back the menacing Darr-Baazigar-Anjaam-esque SRK back and he is pure masterclass.

You may love him. You may hate him. But you can't help but admire the guy's acting ability.

This film is not everyone's cup of tea. Some people might deliberately hate it, but hey, that is the persona of SRK. The most polarising actor ever.

Thank You Maneesh Sharma for bringing back ""The Actor SRK"" whom we desperately missed since My Name Is Khan. Kudos to the team for choosing something so risky and so brave.

Films like these are not made for Huge Box Office Collections, they are made for sheer uniqueness.

You may agree with me. You may disagree with me. All I would like to say is ""Rehnede, Tu Nahi Samjhega"".",10
"It is very difficult continues a perfect work, but coppola succeeded, ""the Godfather, Part II"" may not be the perfect embodiment of cinema as its predecessor, but it is a spectacular film, as sublime photographs, screen elements of this trilogy are perfect, all the features of the characters, the extras, to the furniture contrasts with the scene, and the soundtrack of this film is something amazing, I discussed in my previous review of part I on the technical part of the film, which is still impeccable, along with the performances, good, if not here we have Marlon de niro, who although are Supla lack godfather, leaves us stuck in its moments of action, and Al Pacino, well, forget it .... the only sin here is the script, which although very good, contrasting the beginning of the corleone family to its maximum moment of crisis, but the script does not hold as the first, and at times becomes confused, and has 20 minutes more movies , which in a way are put to good use, and in the end he presents us with a scene set credit, to stay in our heads during the I5 years to part III, watch this trilogy is more than a movie, it is to learn about cinema.",10
"""Lost in Translation,"" is one of those movies that has received high critical acclaim. We went to see it on the basis of the impressive 8.2 weighted rating on IMDb. After seeing ""Lost in Translation,"" my thought is, ""What movie did everyone else see?""

We are presented with the situation of two presumably lost souls, searching for meaning in their lives. Bob Harris (Bill Murray), is being paid $2 million to spend a few hours making a Japanese whiskey commercial. Bob--take the money and run.

You're never going to play Macbeth. (Neither are you, Bill.)

We are also meant to have sympathy for Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson). Let's get this straight--you are young, beautiful, intelligent, an Ivy League graduate, staying in a luxury hotel in one of the world's great cities. Why are you sad? Poor thing--you took your degree in Philosophy and it never occurred to you that you'd need a PhD to teach the subject? Your husband is a jerk? (OK--he's a jerk. No one made you study Philosophy, and no one made you marry the jerk, and no one's making you stay with the jerk you married.)

My advice to Charlotte--stop with the angst and leave Bill Murray alone. Go home, get a divorce, go back to college, study law, social work, or education. Get a degree, get a job, get a life.

My advice to movie buffs--stay away from ""Lost in Translation."" Rent ""Roman Holiday"" instead.

It will be obvious that Bill Murray isn't Gregory Peck, Scarlett Johansson isn't Audrey Hepburn, and Sofia Coppola isn't William Wyler. Why accept a weak substitute if you can watch the same plot in a great movie?",5
"Greetings again from the darkness. Sometimes no matter how hard we try to like a movie, it simply doesn't work for us. In those instances, I typically attempt to focus on what I did like and offer an explanation of why it fell short of expectations. And it's that word, ""expectations"", that is usually the culprit. High expectations often lead to disappointment, whereas 'low' or 'no' expectations at least have a shot of ending up a pleasant surprise. So when the writer-director of SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK (2012) and THE FIGHTER (2010) rolls out his first film in seven years, and his cast is filled with Oscar winners, Oscar nominees, and other talented actors ... well, high expectations are in order. Unfortunately, so is the disappointment.

David O Russell is the filmmaker noted above, and despite some disturbing accusations made against him recently, his cinematic track record and ability to attract deep and talented casts and crews make his new project something to check out. This one is inspired by the true story of a1933 political conspiracy, and that's where the story begins before flashing back to 1918 and ultimately returning to 1933. It's during the flashback where we see the beginnings of the friendship between Burt Berendsen (Oscar winner Christian Bale) and Harold Woodman (John David Washington). It's here that we also witness the presence of racism in the military during the Great War. When Burt and Harold are injured, they are cared for by nurse Valerie Voze (Margot Robbie). Harold and Valerie fall in love, and third wheel Burt joins them as a roommate in Amsterdam, where they live a blissful bohemian existence ... right up until Burt returns home to his wife and Valerie vanishes.

Returning to 1933, we find Burt is a doctor experimenting with multiple medical options focused on injured war veterans, and Harold is a distinguished lawyer. Burt has a scarred face and glass eye from his war injuries, and Harold has been contacted by the daughter (Taylor Swift) of their former commanding officer (Ed Begley Jr). The daughter suspects foul play in the death of her father, who was scheduled to give a speech at an upcoming military reunion gala. Ms. Swift's appearance is in fact swift, and leads to the murder and scandalous autopsy findings.

Going through all that happens next would be as convoluted on paper as it was on screen. There are so many characters and so many story lines and so many familiar faces that the film couldn't possibly be expected to flow smoothly. And it doesn't. A mention of some of the supporting cast includes standout Anya Taylor-Joy as the wife of filthy rich Tom Voze played by (Oscar winner) Rami Malek. When the murder occurs, Burt and Harold are the prime suspects of the detectives played by Matthias Schoenaerts and Alessandro Nivola. Andrea Riseborough plays Burt's estranged and ultra-snobby wife Beatrice, while Chris Rock is another old war buddy of our wrongfully accused murder suspects. Robert DeNiro (another Oscar winner) plays General Gil Dillenbeck (who we learn is based on real life Major General Smedley Butler). Others making an appearance include: Michael Shannon and Mike Myers as American and British spies, Timothy Olyphant as an undefined henchman, Zoe Saldana as the autopsy nurse, and the always dependable Colleen Camp and Beth Grant. Now you understand what I mean by so many characters and familiar faces.

All of the actors are as strong as you would expect. Mr. Bale and Ms. Robbie go ""big"", while Mr. Washington stays in a low-key mode for balance. The film has an unusual look through the camera of 3-time Oscar winning cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, and seems to be filled with an endless stream of close-ups shot upward at the subject's face. It's not a whodunnit since we see the crime happen, and instead is more of a ""we must solve the case to avoid prison"" - kind of a quasi-comedy caper film, only they aren't trying to get away with anything. It's also not quite a farce, and is a madcap with a shortage of ""mad"". We see the power play between various factions that catches the unsuspecting types in the crosshairs, while raising points of fascism, antisemitism, and racism. The film meanders when it's not downright choppy, and it often plays like a scripted series trying too hard to appear improvisational. I believe the message is the power of friendship and love wins over the lust for power, however it's hard to know for sure. Drake as an Executive Producer adds an element of interest, but as a movie, this one mostly falls flat despite the efforts of a sterling cast.

"I had been looking forward to this show being a huge fan of The Avengers. I watched the pilot live and was very disappointed. It had no interesting characters, plot, or a script. I didn't watch it for another episode for over a year. Later I saw the show again on Netflix when I was sick and decided to give it a second try. I am so happy I did. Everything I thought about this show was flipped upside down. The plot gets better every season, the script is phenomenal, and the characters are so complex and fleshed out I don't know why I didn't see it before. This show is one of the best superhero shows around (second only to Daredevil). As soon as you get passed the first half of the first season it's a nonstop joyride. This show would have an 8+ if none of the people who only watched the first few episodes weren't counted. Please give this show a second chance. You will not be disappointed.",8

"Thank you for this movie ! It's beautiful by the décor, costumes and music, but so much more beautiful with the message. We do need that kind of movie in our world.

People (men, lol) seems to be confused after seeing the Barbie movie. Maybe it's time to accept the world as it is now and understand how cruel it could be for the half of the world population. I think you are proving the point of the movie.

We do need more movies like Barbie, that can keep the funny in important messages. In many movies, they need violence, rudeness and/or vulgarity to show how the female character is in pain. Thanks to Barbie, we don't have to see this to know, we don't have to be triggered to understand what kind of feelings she is going through. Barbie is like us. Barbie is for us. Thank you, Barbie !",10
"This is such a strange movie. I didn't realize it was produced by Michael Bay when I watched it, but that makes some sense. By far the best part of this film is the action scenes and cinematography along with some beautiful settings. Those are done with superb style.

I see the film is listed as an action and a comedy. I can't think of a single time I laughed or even smiled during the film. I had no idea it was supposed to have comedic elements.

The acting is passable, dialogue terrible, and plot a jumbled mess.

I don't hate that I watched it, but I never plan to watch it again.",5
"The Outsider has some good things going for it: stand out acting talent, ominous mood, and excellent cinematography. Plus, it has the platform that brought us the likes of The Sopranos, The Wire, Sharp Objects, and the first seven seasons of Game of Thrones. Despite all these attributes, I find myself (at the end of episode 8) being underwhelmed. To put it bluntly, the plot is moving as slow as molasses. It is my understanding that half of the source material was jam-packed into episodes 1 & 2, leaving the rest of the exposition to drag relentlessly across 8 more episodes--and I can definitely tell. We find characters sharing intimate conversations, ones that feel as though they should be suffused with great meaning, yet it seems each of them have had these same exact interactions before. The plot has gotten terribly tedious and I find myself struggling to finish each new episode, bored to the brink. I really want to like this show. It has a creepy vibe and the acting talent (although, in my opinion, somewhat miscast) is top-notch. However, the point of television is to entertain--to tell a great story. I'm getting the impression that the showrunners mistakenly tried to tell a horror story in the vein of True Detective; yet, believe it or not, this isn't a true crime story, it is a supernatural one. Hulu's Castle Rock did this type of Stephen King material much better. The Outsider just doesn't work for me. I cannot fathom the reasoning behind the pacing of the plot materials. I hope it gets better in the last couple episodes, otherwise it will sadly be a miss for me. Shame.",5
"This was my 3rd anime I've ever watched. I strongly recommend watching it in Subbed. It definitely suits Saitama's sarcasm much much better. The story is also very good and on point. I love the animation of the fight scenes and a person can see a lot of hours were put behind it. Every episode the story gets better and the animation gets better and better. I have recommended this anime to many people and they were not disappointed at all by the anime. We both shared the exact same opinions about the anime. The only thing that we agree on is that Season 3 takes way to long, but what do you expect when the animation is so amazing in S2 so I cant wait to see what s3 looks like.",9
I probably won't even watch the second episode. I did not expect it to be the same as the 1960's series but I thought it might be at least as fun. I was so bored at the end of episode one I didn't go to episode two.,4
"Amazing! All over beautiful tv series... gave me a Kill Bill vibe.

It is a nice length around 30mins or less per show and the first two episodes are like really confusing but so great cause episode three and four start making more sense of where it is headed, so keep sticking through it it will pay off

One of my favourite TV series!!",9
"I am writing as a spectator who does not know the whole story, having watched this plot for the first time. I find the film quite relevant in our time, because our century is a breakthrough in the field of psychology.

Despite all the fiction, I saw in it a reflection of psychology, religiosity. Venom is a symbol of a person's faith in himself, at least, this is proved by scenes where the main character is without an alien. The author wants to show that the symbiote is a part of each of us, and only how we use it, and what is embedded in our brain and is a projection into our reality. No wonder Cletus is not that disliked, but a raped and murdered child, who has accumulated all the anger in himself and spreads it to everyone. The internal conflict born in childhood, especially, is shown in the scene with Karnash, where he could not overcome Venom. The internal conflict turned into an external one, which killed Cletus and Karnash. Only in harmony with yourself can you achieve victory.

In addition to the block ""all the problems from childhood"", the film also reflects the block ""the ability to keep positive inside yourself"". Two destinies with criminal similarities grow up with different worldviews.

Another interesting fact: it is not for nothing that Venom feeds on brains, because brains are the center of self-belief, which once again proves the self-confidence of the symbiote.

I think the film deserves attention for its psychological and philosophical idea.",10
"Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

In the long awaited sequel of Knives Out, tech billionaire Miles Bron invites his friends for a getaway on his private Greek island. When someone turns up dead, Detective Benoit Blanc is put on the case.

The movie is very slow in the beginning as they were trying to make the audience understand everything about all the characters and the events in a supposedly comdeic way. They also included a little sub story that had to do with the pandemic and the lockdown that was a bit useless as they just got rid of the story with the click of a button, literally. When we reach the middle of the movie, it starts to get very interesting. We finally get the Knives Out vibe with the mystery getting harder and harder for the audience to figure out as no clues are given; its just a story being told. However, towards the end, when the mystery starts to unfold, it gets a little childish yet surprising at the same time.

I was very excited to know that Ed Norton was going to be in this film and indeed he didn't disappoint. He really did stand out. Daniel Craig as detective Blanc was also amazing as he kept that funny, smart, yet witty character from the first movie. All the other performances were good however the characters were very unlikable and some felt like a wasted potential. Additionally, the movie was very nice visually but the effects in the end felt a bit weird and weak.

If you watch this movie knowing that its not as good as the first one, you would definitely enjoy it.",8
"If you think movies should be honest and express something other than greeting card sentiments, don't watch this movie. It is pure spectacle, along the lines of the Terminator series, with absolutely nothing to say about life. After watching the film, you are in no way richer. If you're just after a few hours of distraction, watch something like ""Inglorious Basterds"", which is at least witty and well directed.

The only thing to admire about this movie is its special effects. Even then, one can't hope but be depressed by the way that this kind of mindless entertainment is increasingly dominating our cinema.

The immense popularity of Avatar and 3D films in general (3D being the modern equivalent of flooding the Colosseum) is a terrible sign for people who enjoyed films like ""Shutter Island"" or ""The Thin Red Line"". The era of honest and artistic films which actually have something to say about life making it to mainstream cinemas is rapidly fading.",3
"This series stands out as a profound and intense drama, marked by its exceptional writing and compelling performances. Beyond the captivating narrative, the series is distinguished by its remarkable cinematography, capturing the essence of Hong Kong with stunning clarity and authenticity. The choice of real locations for filming not only adds to the visual appeal but also enhances the realism of the series, making the setting an integral part of the storytelling.

The true brilliance of the series, however, lies in the nuanced storytelling and the interconnectedness of all characters, including those with seemingly minor roles. Each character is meticulously developed, adding depth to the narrative. The series thoughtfully explores significant social issues, such as generational disparities highlighted during the Umbrella Revolution, the stark socioeconomic divides in Central, and the poignant struggles faced by domestic helpers from Southeast Asia. The accurate and authentic portrayal of these themes contributes significantly to the series' impact.

It is worth noting that the complexity and depth of the series may not cater to all audiences. It demands a level of engagement and understanding that might not appeal to younger viewers or those unaccustomed to intricate storytelling. However, for those seeking a series with substance and willing to delve into the detailed layers of its narrative, this series proves to be an enlightening and rewarding experience.",9
"Words would not do justice to what I have to say, but let me try. The cinematography felt so natural that it seemed as If I was physically present in every scene, up close and personal. It was so natural that even when Golshifteh Farahani ""Nik"" slipping while coming out of the car carrying an RPG just gave it a grand slam. The way Chirs Hemsworth portrayed his emotions, and a huge round of applause to Rudhraksh Jaiswal and Randeep Hooda the way they blended so naturally into every scene just made it a great masterpiece. This movie set a new benchmark of you can captivate the audience completely, congratulations Sam Hargrave, instead of naming a school after you in the movie, you should actually open one to teach the upcoming generation about this master class direction. Also Chirs is gonna collect a huge pay check as a producer this one's gonna be huge success.",7
"The original books were silly but funny, fresh and modern. The videogames were... well: mainly masterfully produced videogames which set the bar for the genre.

This tv-series is a disgrace which simply proves why production companies' executives don't care about quality: because they can turn a complex, fascinating universe into an inconsistent, horribly produced, ridiculous mess... and still achieve a great success.

There are good moments in ""the witcher"": Yennefer is at times very sexy (and I guess girls feel the same for Geralt) and the screenplayers didn't actually ruin all the good plots Sapkowski provided. Yet the average is awful.

And here is the miracle - much worse than for ""Game of Thrones"": despite recognizing I'm offered a trashy soap loosely based on source material I liked, I still can't avoid watching it, just to feel bad afterwards.

Someone with a better understanding of these dynamics will one day illuminate us on what is happening here. Myself, like an addict, will go on craving and watching yet another episode as long as they will provide it.

EDIT: season 2 fully confirms my review. A disgraful trashy soap. Let's add plenty of plot holes, spice with abysmal writing out of canon, puppet characters and cheap direction et voilà: I'm free from the spell and I won't be wasting my time for S3.",2
"""Talk to Me"" breathes new life into horror, spinning a captivating tale about friends stumbling upon an eerie ritual involving a ceramic hand that connects them to the spirit realm. From its gripping start to its satisfying conclusion, the film boasts originality.

Balancing jump scares and memorable moments, it keeps you hooked. Graphic scenes are strategically used to amplify the story's impact, generating lingering unease. Despite a few clichés, the characters feel real, grounding the supernatural horror. Stylish direction and sound add tension, though it's more eerie than terrifying.

While some concepts could've gone further, the film's strengths outweigh minor shortcomings. In a genre often disappointing, ""Talk to Me"" shines as an innovative gem, blending an original idea, relatable characters, and effective storytelling.

It's not for everyone, but its unique take on the supernatural and chilling atmosphere offer a compelling cinematic experience.",8
"You take your seat in the theatre, the lights go down down, the curtains open; the lights focusing on a single chair in the middle of the stage.

From the wings, out walks Steven Spielberg, who proceeds to remove his belt, lower his pants, take a squirt from the moisturiser bottle and takes a seat.

He proceeds to spend the next 2.5 hours vigorously choking the chicken, whilst staring directly into your eyes before climaxing without comment and running around the stage for a victory lap to a standing ovation.

This is 'The Fablemans'.

This movie left me questioning when Spielberg last truly lived up to his reputation and adoration.",5
"I have to admit that this show has grown on me, I watch it regularly and the humor seems to have improved later on. I also watch it out of nostalgic Bundy sentiments... However, I still don't see why it is supposed to be the best show in the comedy lineup. And here are the reasons why:

They just went berserk with stereotypes. I mean come on, here are the ""gays"", there the ""dorks"", there the high school sweetheart. This is overused to the extreme! Is it so difficult to produce an American series without clichés?


Name just one character that has not gone on your nerves at some point! I can't. They are not unlovable, but why do they always have to behave in the same, shrill way?




On one hand this is cartoon slapstick humor, on the other hand the show has set itself the semi-realistic challenge to portrait a modern family suited to current society. Somehow it does neither to a full extent.",7
"After all the hype & stellar reviews, what a terrible disappointment! Since when is Thor a frigging comedy? Obviously all the jokes are a feeble attempt to cover up piss poor writing. It's going on a decade now of brutal writing, poor story telling, & bad scripts. Joke was on me for being bamboozled into wasting 2 hours of my life on this nonsense!",2
So slow and boring...i make it 35min of watching and realise its not worth my time .,2
TEFW is one of the finest work of this decade. Breaking the rules of youngsters acting like youngsters. Wild and crazy with some of the finest cinematography and screenplay. A must watch.,9
"Don't know why there are as many positive reviews for this clunker. The story was basic, weak, with so much ridiculousness it can't be summed up here. For those hoping for a movie equal to its predecessor you're in for a huge letdown. The acting was below par for such an established cast, and this didn't feel like a ""knives out"" mystery if the first one established the bar. At well over 2 hours, it was far too long as there wasn't enough interesting plot lines to maintain any level of excitement. This was an obvious story, with a script that seemed like it was written on the set. This definitely felt like it was made for Netflix. Save yourself 140 minutes.",3
"Today I watched the menu and it was very very cringey and lame

K how the heck does this have such a high rating you can't be serious right, this movie is very lame. It rides on the fact that it's trying to be original but honestly it doesn't even feel that original. It just feels like truth or dare. Oh no the menu is weird and the game is real! Or like midsummer actually, oh spooky cult except with food. I'm sorry to be reductive, but this movie feints a level of sophistication that it just simply does not have.

The best part of this movie is Anya Taylor Joy's performance and some of the visuals. I laughed a couple times I think. This film is definitely trying but it just does not work at all. It's frankly very pretentious honestly.

Like dude why does the writer seem to feel like he's gotta say some deep intellectual garbage through the mouths of these extremely one dimensional nothing characters. There is so much ""tell, not show"" going on in the character development and many of the actors are absolutely not selling what's happening.

Hong Chau sucks a lot, she is not at all threatening. Ralph Fiennes was not intimidating for 80% of the horror movie where he is the horror movies. There's so many nothing characters it's hard to mention a single one besides the guy who played tyLer who sucked a lot.

There was a supposedly serious point in the film where one character gets injured cause he's being a bad boy and you can't take it seriously at all cuz the actor sounds like that saw video game actor that your movie sucks quotes all the time. It was very funny in the wrong ways. This movie was almost only ever funny except when it wasn't trying to be. Why the heck are these characters yelling when everyone is around them like aren't they trying to be sneaky at all for no reason.

Why don't characters do anything?? Why are they all so awful and stupid. Isn't this a good movie why didn't they use good lighting for the food is that the point...? The cinematography and lighting as a whole was very mixed. Like it felt so professionally shot for 30% of the film and the other 70% is fishbowl close ups that leaving you just begging for more. It's so lame. I loved some of these shots but jeez... what a waste of potential.

There was a scene with Anya Taylor Joy and Hong Chau near the end had a scene together and it was so horribly choreographed and shot I was laughing in my empty theater so loudly it was horribly awful. They do like a zoom up on Chau's face and it was really funny.

The ending was absolutely stupid it was so dumb. I cannot believe that it really was done in that sort of fashion, it seemed so rushed and forced I cannot believe that. I was appalled. I really cannot stand the ending of this film it reminds me of so many different films.

I cannot stand this movie, it is very bad.

Overall I have no idea why this got such high reviews, I could not stand this movie it was absolutely infuriating. The glimpses of ambition that the film maker tried for are definitely there, but it just insists it's so much deeper and more original than it is. I haven't even mentioned the lines in this film... they're so cheesy cringe, it's exhausting. ""He mustn't disturb the high order of sustenance"", god eye roll cringe. I hate this movie. I might lower this to a 2 maybe, it's so bad but it does have some nice shots sometimes and Anya Taylor joy tries with this awful script.

Low 3/10.",3
"Pulp Fiction is mildly amusing in parts, and in all honesty relies completely on the scene that makes the movie, from where Bruce Willis walks past the clothesline to where he makes up with the hilarious crime boss. Much like the log scene makes a King Kong movie. The scenes with Willis are livelier than the scenes with the two dull, obnoxious hit men who get way too much screen time, and put the viewer to sleep. The surface plot of this movie is pretty dull, and it's tough to care with the poorly written characters, but it relies on its ""iconic"" style of trash talk and actions. The hidden plot of this movie is the title itself of ""Pulp Fiction"". This movie has mixed allusions to different eras. Sometimes, it is the late eighties and early nineties, but more often it is the late sixties, early seventies, with the rotary phones, clothes lines, rarity of billboards, and the songs people tapped fingers to in those days. What we have is essentially a make believe world in which kids from the seventies think the world is like outside, where everyone carries a gun and is either a boxer, gangster, killer, or lunatic. The ""modern"" images are all imagined by the seventies kids thinking they'll be in such a world when they grow up. A decent idea, but it could have been done better with more interesting hit men. The Bruce Willis character, and his performance, help salvage this, though.",6
"Tone, Script & Story: The character played by Kangna is ditched by her fiancée just before the marriage. She decides to travel foreign alone which was supposed to be a honeymoon. There she meets people, makes friends gets a lifetime experience. She returns India with a comparatively grown and matured identity.

Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: Vikas Bahl has done a tremendous job. It's his best work. The locations like place where marriage will be taking place, famous non-famous foreign landmarks, actors everything serves as an eye candy. Music: Music is very good. Acting: After watching I was curious if Kangna was a natural. Today when we see her off screen she appears different than what she used to be. Whatsoever she lifts the movie.

Final Verdict: There are people who call themselves feminists. Even they themselves don't agree with each other on all points. I don't know how much of the guidelines I support, but to put light, this movie definitely celebrates feminism. Watch it you will be astonished.",8
"This is my first review and I made it because this series got such a high rating, and unfortunately some good reviews. Those good reviews are in some serious trouble, psychologically. This girl represents everything that's wrong with today's society. She's a suicide you hope for. She's that one about which you say: ""Good, world is a better place now"", those ""victims"". I don't know if U.S. sunk to that type of PC fascism that makes everyone around a awful human being blamed on that persons whim just because that person feels, subjectively that you harmed her. This story and this personality of Hannah can maybe make sense to people that wrote articles about how winning over a girl in a video game is rape, or those articles about how Battlefield 1 is sexist because it doesn't include female players, or even that about a male fetus being a rapist inside his mother, because his penis is inside his mother. This show and the main character have that kind of logic. If this character was a male, it would be a show about Elliot Rodgers, that's the level of Asperger's and narcissism presented in the show.

The only motivation for making this show; because it's actually well made, with a big budget and a good cast; is that Illuminati decided to make a show that hopefully makes horrible people like the main character kill themselves, but it adds that twist where they suggest you should make innocent people suffer for no reason, but your lack of adjustment, classic Illuminati... which I condone, as is obvious, I hope. Really, it's a mockery of an act of suicide, or people have just became so shallow and so so meaningless and horrible, that this makes sense. I hope Elliot Rodger is not one of a lot, and if he is, I hope this thins the heard.",1
Dont Think it was worth it. It was really boring. And it keeps showing flashvacks the movie. But i am watching the movie! Would have made sense if it was from something you havent seen before.. dont bother watching.,3
"I don't know what people are crying about, not every Shounen anime needs to be as complex as hunter x hunter and when it is, people still cry about the overwhelming exposition.

The story of this anime is pretty simple you don't need any explanation, but I will still give some context. It starts with the Fighting competition. The Group who has held this competition is searching for a certain person or something like that and then there is an Evil organization, who is also searching for the same thing for some Evil purpose. If you have seen some Shounen anime you know how things goes.

When you have already seen this formula repeat million of the time, then why waste your time? Because this show doesn't waste your time, it skips most of the average cliched things and gives you the meat. Most people watch Shounen for good action and this show provides that, the choreography of the fight scenes are the top tier and the quality of the animation is just mind blowing. This show is 90% entertainment and 10% some boring fluff.

The blind hate this anime is getting pretty much reminds me of the early days of Attack on Titan. Literally everyone was hating it because it became way too popular. Seems like the same thing is going on with The God of High School. Yes, it is not the greatest adaptation, but it is damn entertaining.",9
It's good but nowhere near great.A few good shots and suddenly it's oscar material?,6
"If only they would have put as much effort into the dialogue and script as they did the cinematography and sets, which are immaculate. There are just too many plot holes and ""what did you just say"" moments for any amount of suspension of disbelief to overcome.",3
"JC is making a mockery of us all by simply regurgitating past successes wrapped in beautiful bows of CGI and 'motion capture' FX.

1. The graphics were on point, in 2009. Sad to say there was really no noticeable difference 13 years later. James needs to realize what got him here, won't get him 'there'.

2. This sequel figuratively 'craps' on the entirety of the motivations that made the audience care about Pandora and everything that made the first one special. (e.g., what about unobtanium, where's the grand unity; the spirituality, why are these once great protagonists now so one dimensional?)

3. Completely unoriginal plot accompanied by a lackluster story, to say the least. No depth, no continuation of the moral principles, James just does a fantastic job at insulting the audience by simply copy-pasting climactic elements from past franchises. It's evident the only goal here was to separate money from wallets when after more than a decade of development, we get the same tired old antagonist, altercations and plot vehicles. JC should be absolutely crippled with shame after pumping this the way he has.

4. The acting was uninteresting, boring and in many scenes tedious; yes, I'm looking at you Zoe and Sam. Perhaps just a result of their characters radical change for absolutely no gain.

5. Character continuity is obviously not as important to this franchise as hectic world building. It's a shame these actors were on-board with such a dismantling of their original characters. Is the audience really to believe that self-righteous American family values just all the sudden trump generations of indigenous culture? Neytiri is reduced to an emotional basket-case of a housewife/mother, with at least half of her script being wailing in anguish or screaming in anger. Jake's character instead doubles down on the dumb jarhead persona who's only goal now is to keep his family together and safe, like a good little pack of marines, yet stumbles miserably at that. Quaritch is just a steaming pile of disappointment, I can't describe how lazy and dissatisfying it is to see them base the continuation of the franchise on this shallow, unrelatable ogre. Kiri/Grace could have had such potential, but instead the audience gets lackadaisical religious doctrine with little to no explanation nor acknowledgement by any of the other characters.

6. Character development is on par with the Hallmark channel. Now that Jake and Neytiri have been reduced to mindless nuclear parents, we get uninteresting kids who do nothing but the opposite of what they know to be right, simply for the sake of introducing dramatic affect to move the story along to the next unoriginal conflict. Entirely new populations of characters now some-how know a great deal of the English language. Their youth seems eerily in-tune with twenty-first century teen culture and similarly are inherently disrespectful, rude and demeaning for no other reason than to create cheap conflict resolution.

7. The new 'McGuffin' is pitiful and insignificant to the franchise and so forgettable that it's abandoned almost as fast as it's explained. The 'sky people' are back, but is it to terraform or is it for the elixir of life? Who knows and who cares, because no matter the reasoning the message here is clearly the same --humanity shaming.

8. The erratic filming frame rates also make this visually exhausting (seen in IMAX 3D). This movie was filmed in 48 fps, as well as in 24 fps and is nowhere near consistent. Every other shot is rapidly switching back and forth, so one scene will be established in 24 fps, then suddenly switch to 48 fps, and it happens throughout the entire movie. I was literally crying in the theatre, but certainly not due to the utterly superficial story.

Rating: 2/10 stars: Just bad movie making.

Entertaining --yet neutered-- computer aided visuals carried this 3+ hour storyline/screenplay like a donkey through the wetlands. This film was made for the dull and unimaginative.",2
"all throughout the movie the camera would be spinning around the actors faces about 80% of the time...shot after shot. and im pretty sure I've heard the soundtrack before I've heard it on dejavu, bourne films...it goes like tententententententententen...you know what im talking about.

they also talk a lot about trains and then some. i don't know anything about trains so most of the time i don't know what they are talking about. it sure wasn't logical but what do i know. it should have been interesting listening to them ramble some train terminology talk about trains like the scientists would do when a meteor is about to hit earth cough*Armageddon*cough and make things seem possible because it looks like they know what they're talking about but i don't and it draws my attention to the spinning camera effect is fooking annoying.

ill give it a 3 star but for some people i know would enjoy it much more because of Denzel and Chris pine. other than that this movie is crap",3
"When I came to see this film, I was under the impression that it would be a romantic comedy. So, I was not expecting much. Maybe that is why I give it an average rating. (The more I expect, the less impressed I seem to be).

This film is not a romantic comedy. It has an element of romance in it, but I feel that it is more religious- a young girl who is trying to find her meaning in life. The comedy mainly comes from the differences of culture and the situations the characters find themselves in in Japan.

Overall, I give it a 4 out of 10. Average",4
"Confession. I'm not a fan of Harry Potter nor J K Rowling works. Except for Prisoner of Azkaban, I didn't enjoy any Harry Potter film. And, I felt the Deathly Hallow films were outright boring.

So I went to watch Fantastic Beast with low expectations. And at the end, I was very happy and pleased with what I saw in those 2 hours.

Fantastic Beasts can be seen either as a fantasy film or as a mystery of incidents happening in New York leading to murders and destruction. And in all of this, we have a mysterious young man entering New York with one suitcase of secrets who becomes an unlikely hero.

Newt, a Hogwarts Alumni and known to Dumbledore is beautifully played by Redmayne. He is shy, soft spoken and always in some sort of trouble. Yet his confidence and love for his animals saves him somehow. His is the most well written bit in the movie.

He shares some nice chemistry with his other male lead i.e. Kowalski played by Dan Foger. Foger also does a lovely job of a No Mag aka Muggle who is hesitant to be with Newt but then becomes his partner and also falls in love with Newt's animals and with another magician.

The women played by Waterson and Mary Lou do commendable jobs. While Colin Farrell and Ezra Miller spice up this film with strong performance.

However, the movie belongs to the fantastic beasts. Hats off to Rowling's writing and Yates vision as a director, these beautiful creatures are unbelievable. They're lovely and in 3D you really feel like loving and touching each one of them. If you have kids, they will love these creatures. And will stay with you for a long time.

And also there is a small cameo by Johnny Depp and I'm not saying any more.

Overall, a very satisfying experience and I'm waiting for the sequel and you will also figure out why I'm waiting for it.",7
"Just so good , In love with the movie... Jodha and Akbar could not be played better by these two. So lovely .",10
If you think of this film purely as a 'scene setter' or 'bridging' film to further build the Fantastic Beasts world then it's absolutely fine. As a stand alone movie though it's a little drawn out and boring with not a huge amount really happening over the course of it. Further movies in the series may prove this one to be very important in the canon though depending on where they go from here. Overall a bit of a slog but time will tell on its place.,6
"If you are looking for a light, fun movie, you may like this movie.

However, Shazam! tries too hard to be light/ funny for me; I prefer a little more realism. That said, I believe the people who made this movie put in a descent effort and provided pretty good special effects. But don't expect any serious edge or interesting plot lines.

One issue for me was how the character Shazam! was portrayed by actor Zachory Levi. Shazam acted more like a child than the teen Billy Batson. When a superhero acts like an eight-year-old, it's a problem for me- it's distracting and cringe worthy at times.

If you want to watch a better take on Shazam, I recommend the short animated movie: ""Superman - Shazam! The Return of the Black Atom."" The film was too brief, but it still represents a better portrayal of Shazam and Billy Batson.",6
"Very few shows have the ability to execute a story in way that feels genuine to the genesis. The characters themselves were played exceptionally well with real character development with depth.

I would recommend anyone to watch this show. It may not be remembered in a few years from now. But it sure does do what tv created to do.",8
"What an impressive film. I rank ""The Godfather: Part II"" as the third greatest sequel I've ever seen, behind ""The Empire Strikes Back"" and ""Toy Story 2."" Like those two films, this sequel does not attempt to use the same structure and style as the original. Godfather II shows Michael Corelone's (Al Pacino) struggle to hold his father's crime empire together as he begins to abuse his power, and this is combined with flashback scenes showing how Vito Corleone (played excellently by Robert DeNiro in an Oscar-winning role here) came to form his empire. I don't even understand why I like the film so much, as it grows more depressing and disheartening as the film goes on. Nevertheless, it is amazingly brilliant nonetheless. At almost three and a half hours long, the film is not slow-paced at all. It moves along smoothly, yet it takes plenty of time to adequately convey both stories in great detail. The flashbacks are the real highlight of this film, and watching Robert DeNiro as he begins to gain power is engaging and very interesting to watch. It's amazing how much different Michael's character is in this film from the first one. This doesn't top the first film for me, probably because Marlon Brando, who made part I so great, is not in it. Nevertheless, this is easily the best picture of 1974, and the performances are some of the best I've ever seen.

***1/2 out of ****",9
"As the first episode started off well. I did not feel interested in the entirety of the show at all.

Hear me out... I finished the show and it was far to slow for me. I think that the plot twist at the end of episode 4 could have been the introduction for the first episode, but again just my opinion.

I really don't get why me and so many others just eat these shows up. They're really not as good as they seem in trailers.",2
"One of the most amazing screenplays of the year. It's like rain Johnson is building a rep for murder mysteries through his screenplays. This makes me wanna watch looper. This film is unpredictable which is a big thing to achieve after the over saturation in the murder mystery and suspense thriller genre. It is a must watch for Agatha christie fans.

I cant't seem to understand why every review on IMDB is so disappointed with this film amazing acting, amazing screenplay, amazing background music which really uplifts crucial scenes of the movie.

Maybe too high expectations after the first movie which was also a knock out of the park.",9
"This film could have been better on so many levels. The dialogue was full of terrible Hollywood blockbuster one liners and comic relief....that pretty much ruined the movie that I had extremely high hopes for. Batman has casual conversations with the other cast members in certain scenes. The fight scenes are so vague and opaque that the audience can't track who's hitting who and what's going on. It's a shame, because the scenes with Bruce Wayne really shined. If you are all about the film being very close to the comic book, you will really enjoy it. If you are below the age of 16, you will probably love it. Hollywood has once again infected one of my director hopefuls. I guess the only hope we can have left is Quentin T. who still seems to be making original pictures with great dialogue. *sighs* Cillian Murphy is pretty good, Michael Caine is one of the owners of the one liners, Gary Oldman is underused and very subtle. Katie Holmes is in the film too much. Liam was very good. Christian Bale, my favorite actor was great as Bruce Wayne, but has only one scene in which he really shines as the Batman, when he is expressively angry. It's probably the only scene with any sort of depth and emotion in the whole film. I believe 2 more pictures are supposed to spring from this, I hope they are better. I'd rather see the first Tim Burton Batman than this one. I think the biggest problem is that most of the emotion of the film is in the first 30-40 minutes. The cinematography is very good, and the lighting used vast amounts of natural light. The audience needed more shots from Batman's subjective point of view.",6
"I've seen this 2004 sequel to the 2002 one about several times and it's absolutely brilliant. Tobey Maguire sure did his great job for playing as Peter Parker/Spiderman. That British fella Alfred Molina also did his great job for playing the baddie Dr. Otto Octavius known as Dr. Octopus. It's probably one of the best 2004/sequel films of all time. I still have it on DVD. I got it for Christmas in 2004.

Back in summer 2004, I saw this at Ormonde Cinemas (then UCI, now Odeon Stillorgan) with my friends as teens and we thought it was amazing.

If you've watched its 2002 prequel Spiderman before, you'll enjoy this 2004 film.",10
"10 starts for the first season, 1 star for season 2. Cheesy, impossible to watch!",4
"This is more like a documentary for the development of an imaginary vaccine than an actual movie! I can not imagine how people make films like ""Contagion"", especially at time when people think twice before paying for a movie ticket! Even though this movie has an all star cast, It has such a flat emotionless storyline that you will not give a damn if the characters live or die ! The characters are unimaginative clichés that serve the sole purpose of providing the actors with a reason to be in the movie. They a shallow, predictable and boring. This movie tries to focus on the greatness of the human existence, and fails miserably. The creators tried to squeeze in all of the stars they booked (cheaply I would imagine due to the crisis) but they did not give them enough screen time as to make something good out of their parts. So, you find yourself hoping that one of them dies towards the end, so the situation may become a bit more dramatic. No such luck ! The story is so flat that if it were a cardiogram, the patient would be dead ! Having said the above you can imagine that I do not recommend this movie. I believe your best choice would be to see this on DVD !",2
"Spiderman 2 - My rating: 9/10

This movie truly had it all and was very entertaining, and I don't usually enjoy overblown Hollywood productions like Spiderman 2.

WHAT WAS GREAT ABOUT THIS MOVIE: 1.) Awesome action - The special effects were incredible. This movie perfectly brings comic book fantasy to life.

2.) Plenty of laughs - This movie could be light-hearted at time, and I found myself laughing out loud on a number of occasions (I should note I was one of the few brave enough to laugh out loud at the corny humor).

3.) Characters we care about - See note below about dialogue... the characters were a little corny too, but the viewer cannot help but become emotionally invested. Very well done.

4.) Strong story - While predictable (what action hero movie isn't?), the story had enough twists and suspence to keep me interested. Good pacing too: the movie flows well from scene to scene.

IN RESPONSE TO MAJOR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS MOVIE: 1.) Of course the dialogue and script are trite. Ever read a comic book? (Note: Spiderman is originally a comic book character) This movie never purports itself as intelligent... and...

2.) In some respects, the superhero movie has ""been done before."" This movie takes the action to new levels and brings new levels of emotion to this often bland genre.

A FINAL STUPID COMMENT THAT GIVES ME LESS CREDIBILITY: Spiderman 2 or The Passion of the Christ? This movie is peppered with references to Christ and Christianity, at least I thought so... Spiderman is the symbol of self-sacrifice (like Christ) -- see if you can spot what I mean.

Ok, awesome movie, and I really mean it. 9/10",9
The earlier series are worthy of a 10 - especially the first season - but it ran for too long and the laughs became further and further apart.,8
"""Avatar"" is a stunning 3D cinematographic achievement, but it's pantheistic, neo-Marxist message weighs it down. While James Cameron's story is not expressly a commentary on the United States as an evil imperialist power, that message is pretty thinly veiled and is scripted with shallow, obvious characters. There's nothing wrong with a bankable storyline being repeated, and we all enjoy watching a noble underdog defeat a powerful oppressor, but Avatar's power-to-the-people stridency recalls Billy Jack in all its naive glory. Watch ""Avatar"" for the 3D effects, but turn your brain off to the tired message it conveys.",3
"Here is my thoughts on season 3 and some tangents from it. New season is wonderfool, there are some goofs , that are just obvious errors, but they does not spoil experience. What spoiled though is that one of new characters is lesbian. I am completly fine with LGBT representation, when it is not stuffed in your face and done right. My complain here to writers that established a relationship between her and a male character and you root for them to be together and then she is comming out as a lesbian. So all that build up is ruined. What was the point then? Ok, fine. But IMHO better solution is to show us a lesbo couple, new female cast that represents homosexual relationship. Or even better, leave this heroine be interested in girls, but also boys. If she is bisexual then it is a win win situation. The serial works as a detective, sci-fi and a horror story, but then creators make some flaws that could be easily avoided if they would change just a little bit of chacacter development. P.S. I am not a homophob nor I a SJW. As I said all people should be represented, but authors have to do it right.",9
I've been waiting to see OMITB for a while now and I actually signed up for Disney+ just to watch it. I enjoyed all 3 episodes and was left wanting more. These characters are very fun together and I'm glad to see Selena on TV again.,10
"I really don't get where the high rating comes from??

Okay, it's a fantasy serie. Okay, it has a lot of magic.

But that's where it stops. Let's start with the actors. They really suck. Annoying conversations, bad humor and no skill what so ever. And what is typical for a bad fantasy serie? Yes, the make up! It ruins everything when a medieval-like story is filled with people who were make up and have eyebrowes from 2019. In game of thrones, the people look natural, not like a fashion model.

Although Netflix put a lot of money in this serie, it looks very cheap! All of it, the costumes, the make up, the environment,...

The music sucks, there is nothing original about the series,...

I can go on and on... my main message is: Do not watch this crappy show. Of you liked game of thrones, then this wil feel like the same but for stupid people who can 't see the difference between quality, high standards and a B-serie",5
"It's like the Addams family , Harry Potter and a series of unfortunate events had a child. This is better than I expected! To me Christina Ricci will ALWAYS be Wednesday but wow, Jenna Ortega really brings it! It's witty and fun and is a fun watch. Im super excited to see where this show goes!!!

Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Adam's is truly fun. She nails the cold dark vibe to Wednesday , the no smile , the dark eyes and the iconic pigtails. The way she delivers her lines is a great start to this show. Her wardrobe is fun ( even if it's just a uniform). And we can't forget about thing! Truly a good time.",8
"Watched it twice because I thought I missed something. Questions included what caused it, how did it end, why could dudes drive around without eyes covered to kill people? Wasted 4 or more hours.",5
"Whenever a movie has the number ""2"" or it's equivalent at the end of the title you immediately become suspicious. Fortunately the only thing to be suspicious about Spider-Man 2 is if number 3 can possibly live up to this movie.

Picking up some time after the first movie ended, we find Peter (Tobey Maquire), Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst), Harry (James Franco) and gang getting on with their lives. But their lives cause a lot of inner conflict that each must resolve. For Peter, it is difficult trying to balance school, his day job of delivering pizza's, getting Mary Jane back and his other job of Spider-Man. Mary Jane has succeeded in the world of theater and Harry is running his father's business.

It is Harry's venture with Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molino) that sets up the action in the movie. After the Doctor's experiment goes horribly wrong he becomes Doc Oct, a label hung on him by the incomparable Daily Bugle editor, J. Jonah Jameson (J.K. Simmons). Doc Oct is not your normal villain. He is not out to do harm, but to prove that his energy experiments will work, despite the costs. In order to succeed he needs Harry's help. But Harry only agrees to help the good doctor only if Doc Oct brings in Spider-Man to ""face justice"" for killing his father.

The action sequences with Spider-Man and Doc Oct are outstanding. Particularly thrilling is a long sequence involving a battle that starts on the buildings of New York and then ends with an exhilarating ride on the subway.

But what makes this movie stand out is the triangle of Peter, Mary Jane and Harry. All three characters have great inner conflict on what they should be doing in their lives. Peter doesn't know if he should be Spider-Man or not. Mary Jane doesn't know if she should keep waiting for Peter. And Harry fights with himself over his friendship of Peter and Peter's friendship with Spider-Man, Harry's enemy.

Sam Raimi does an admirable job in bringing the turmoil these characters are under to the surface. He uses lighting very well to highlight their conflict, often casting these leads in dark shadows conveying their sense of confusion.

Mr. Raimi also does a great job in balancing the action with the slower parts of the movie. All of the actors do a great job in the slower scenes developing the turmoil their characters are under. Without the great casting and acting, these parts of the movie easily could have brought it down.

Hellboy, directed by Guillermo Del Toro, succeeded for the same reasons. With good casting and excellent focus on the character's emotions, both comic book movies excel. These directors have shown that movie-makers don't have to rely on action to make a great action movie.

Spider-Man 2 just may be the best comic book action hero movie to date.",9
"Makes me wonder why we don't get many murder mysteries anymore, hopefully after this we will.

An all star cast with some very good acting make this a film will work watching for a good plot with plenty of twists but also sprinkled with comedy right through out.

I don't want to give anything away but I felt it came up just s little short of a classic but I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone.",7
"I felt the story was missing a lot. There were a lot of points but they all were poorly placed.

I'm disappointed. But amazing outfits.

The actors were very good.

Ryan as always very good. Margot also amazing .

They tried to be unpredictable, but they failed because there was at the end literally no point.

I didn't understand the whole Ken tragedy. It was way too much.

The feminist story was way too old, i mean women have passed these points and criticism. We are not fighting for how our body should be look anymore. The fight is bigger than that. The movie was way too superficial. The first half hour was amazing tho.",5
"Is this movie as good as Knives Out? DEFINATLEY NOT! I did not like this movie, and I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. It took the simple and quaintness of the original of the first one and just completely destroyed it, nothing about this film was believable, which is the exact opposite of the original.

Knives Out felt like it had been carefully thought out and that Rian Johnson had been writing it for about 10 years, whereas this one felt like he thought about it for a couple of months. They also took Benoit Blanc and his querks and made them so much more annoying, there was also no real likeable character like Marta.

Ultimately where this movie fails is the fact that it's being compared to Knives Out, Knives Out was incredible, and I was expecting this to be the same, if it wasn't the sequel to a great film like that, it probably would have got a couple more stars. Just a really disappointing film. 5 out of 10.",5
"It is a tribute movie to Lorraine Warren so I guess not much was invested in term of story writing. Movie had good jump scares but that's all to it. Story was not that great, characters are forgettable, it tries so hard to make the doll responsible for all evil manifestation in the movie but i felt it's too forced and does not make any sense. Watch for fun and don't expect much.",7
"Great Movie Must watch.

Nagaraj Manjule Direction is awesome all the children and star caste and specially story all the boy acting again riku and akash great

one best role : Amitabh bachhan sir must watch this movie .",5
"Boring, long very disapoitning. I think that all involbed in movie should be better of if they didnt made it.",3
"I have to say I'm really disappointed by Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood. I saw the trailers and was immediately excited because I love Tarantino and his movies never let me down before. About an hour in (shortly after the Bruce Lee scene) I fell asleep in my chair without even realizing it. This is the first movie I've seen in the theater that actually put me to sleep, and I suffered through Hellboy. I only realized I fell asleep because I felt like I missed something and checked my watch and realized an hour had passed. I mean, the performances, from what I saw, were good, but the plot didn't seem to be going anywhere and I lost interest.",6
The story would be really interesting but the writing is terrible. Actors are really annoying. The robot is the best part and the planet itself. It could have been a really great series.,5
"There was no other show or movie that I was looking forward to more for the end of the year than The Witcher. I wanted to not only like this show but love it as the new ""it"" show. Sadly, it is not. Visually, it looks great but that is the only positive for me. I did not care about the characters, the story was weak, and the passage of time is incoherent. I did not care about anything that was going on. After the first 2 episodes I thought that, maybe the first 2 were just establishing the characters and setting. Surely episode 3 will get things going. By the end of episode 6, I just figured that I went this far so I'll just finish the final two episodes. I will not be watching season two. This show was a colossal letdown for me, very disappointing.",5
"This movie has totally misleading about Bangladesh Army & Police. They don't co-operate drug lord. Even the Bengali accent is used, is not really Bengali accent, it is of a bit Kolkata. Overall lack of a good stroy. Some action were nice though because of Crish Hemsworth, favourite actor, the mighty Thor. No other this is noteworthy.",1
"Typical action movie with a very simple plot.

Unfortunately the cinematography of this movie by Michael Bay was overly done. An excessive amount of camera angles and constantly jump-cutting scenes, trying to impress the audience is very exhausting to watch. Hence unwatchable.

There probably wasn't any budget left for developing the script, nor was the acting able to save this movie.",2
"This show has all kinds of great elements - mystery, suspense, friendship, etc. The plot is very well written and the characters are very believable. I don't love the language. I feel like in the second season, it was just crammed in there. You don't need language to make a show interesting.

Love the writing! Love the concept! Definitely a winner!",8
"Seriously, I keep waiting for him to go into a slump and start phoning in his stories, like happens with so many high producing storytellers, but he's keeps on keeping on. And this story grabs you by the nads and if the thunder don't get ya, then the lightening will. Also, another reviewer singled out Ben Mendelssohn for an award. I agree. Ben's the real deal. I remember thinking he should get one for Bloodline. But for The Outsider would suffice.",8
Still one of the best movies ever made. Also gives me nightmares. What an absolute classic.,10
"Two main aspects of this film are below average. Those being acting and storyline. However, what hurts this movie the most is the rave reviews it received across the board. These reviews are clearly unwarranted. Whilst watching the film you are constantly waiting for it to dramatically improve, only to be disappointed.",3
"While I marvel at the art of cinematography and the magic of movies, visually stunning. However the plot left me in a lurch. It has been some time when I saw the first magic beasts. Love Eddy Redmayne as well as other stars, but a bit of intro or review would have been helpful at the start of the movie. I don't know if it was due to aging, but I could also not understand the dialogue at times.",6
"The first episode was compelling and the acting was great. After that, the show just nosedived into horribleness. The MCU is lacking creativity. Hire better writers please. The show was too stupid for me to finish.",2
Every episode will make you laugh and amazed by its high quality animation especially fight scenes. Can't wait for season 3.,9
"7.7? How? Like .. HOW? This movie is beyond bad. I could not wait for this movie to end.

The story , the dialogue , the horrible horrible CGI fight scenes , the casting outside of the two leads.... did I mention the story? It was so bad it needs to be mentioned twice. ( and this is coming from a Zack Snyder fan)

This movie seems like something made just to fill in the back ground for Wonder Woman's character for the upcoming films.

It's not that Gal Gadot and Chris Pine's acting was really terrible , this script was so bad the movie stood No chance before the first scene was ever shot.

I think the only reason I rated this a 2 instead of 1 is Gal Gadot is bloody gorgeous.

The high rating on IMDb for a film this bad really make me wonder just how many false reviews are posted here.",2
"I think every Captain America fan has been waiting for this show. We all hoped he would be tributed in this series. I do not hide that I was counting on more. Nevertheless, it was good to see how the bond between Sam and Buck developed.

Personally, I was hoping for an explanation of what happened to Cap after the endgame, but maybe more will be explained in other mcu productions. I hope so!

However, I appreciate the development of mcu's supporting characters.",7
"The plot of the movie is 20,000 years ago in Europe. I did not find in history peoples at that time can sew jacket with hood. The shoes also modern day shoes. Editing was also poor as in some occasion the shoe sole seen as any modern day shoe.

My 5 star is for the story - the empathy between human and animal and the struggles they made.",5
I just hate-hate character Cam other than that show is awesome. It would be a perfect show for me without over-dramatic irritating cam. Other characters are good and give a good laugh but CAM uhh it is so frustrating to watch an episode centered around him.,7
"Weird sci-fi with 16+ language and sexual content so inappropriate for kids, yet the scares are for kids, but the storyline is too convoluted to follow for younger audiences.

Very confused, plagiarized from E. T., Krrish, It and more.

Didn't like it at all. I sat through it because my 10 year old said it's a big deal with her friends so I allowed her to watch it (with many talks along the way). Otherwise I wouldn't sit for 5 minutes of it.

A large part of my dislike comes from the fact that I don't like sci-fi, but then I LOVE the Jurassic Park franchise, E. T., It, Back to the Future and like. I felt this lacked that tension and originality, like most Netflix series.",1
"Can't say what anyone else already hasn't. A cartoon meant for kids became one of the best series ever created. Amazing storytelling, characters, and animation. You'll laugh, cry, and cheer. 10/10 would watch again and again",10
Thoroughly enjoyed the first one and this one. I enjoy all Marvel movies and actually thought this was better than Black Widow. Definitely not a waste of time.,8
TVF is capable of better things. This particular series was not that special it was at the best average when compared to other TVF series. Not upto TVF mark.,6
"For those who are used to clumsy and long-winded scripts, this movie manages to break that habit. Which turns out to be just one of the movie's great points.

The movie is one of those that gets straight to the point, without any jargon, but still giving some content and a complete story. The performances were impeccable, and the plot twist really is a plot twist... so much so that it left me wondering when it all stopped being real and if it ever was.

And there's more, usually teenagers have been painted as very unusual, and this movie surprised me in that sense too: here we have ""innocent"" teenagers who try to make fun of things, reminding us that it could be us living this horrifying Experience.

The soundtrack is wonderful, the highlight being the second act.

What a rich production!",9
"The Shazam poster makes you think it's a comedy or a spoof. But it isn't. Just an overlong unoriginal child adventure. But the plot and beginning of the movie is WAY TO SLOW--lots of scenes, but more like disjointed mini-episodes. It takes forever for Billy Batson to get his 'super powers.' The art direction--sets, cinematography, costumes seem like a mish-mash of Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and similar movies. No originality or rhythm to any of it.

The plot seems like the success of the Spiderman movies convinced the studios to cash in with a different superhero.

Seems aimed at kids, but does it really hold anybody's interest over the long running time?",5
"This film is good, better than the first. The most powerful scene is the very end. James Kahn received the same amount of money from the first film to come back for the flashback/cameo for the second film. You cannot watch thus movie without seeing the first film. Otherwise you can be a bit lost. Robert DiNiro was awesome in this movie. Al Pacino was excellent. We don't see them together in another movie until Heat. Coppola's only work that's worth anything. The only thing that hurst this film is the 3rd film but actually it doesn't because whatever about 3. We're just thankful Sophia Coppola is not in this movie. Did I mention how awesome Pacino is in this movie. It's 3 hours or pure enjoyment nonstop fun. It's the movie that every mod dude wants to be.",8
Can NOT believe these actors took this. Worst film I've laid eyes on in 2019.,1
"Review on the humour:

I watched this movie, because I saw someone analyze and breaking down a scene, so It made me curious, but still didnt really give It a try because of the actors that appear on the front of the movie, they usually make humor...well not of my style.

This movie surprised me, because even tho there was ""that"" type of humor present, It was a lot clever that I expected, and made giggle a couple of times, which again, I was not expecting.

I also really enjoy Bill Hader's character (Slater), It was pretty good, along with Christopher Mintz(Mclovin). And the photography and screenplay of the film, make It enjoyable to watch. You can see that there was effort put on this comedy, unlike today.

So yeah, if you don't usually like this type of humor, but still want to give It a try, totally recommend this one.

Not related: sorry for my english.",6
"I have to confess that I never made it far enough through the movie to find any political correctness or incorrectness. I was sort of counting on a clever version of ""Clue.""

There are some exceptional actors and at first, it looks like they are about to exceptionally act. From the start, the movie was plagued from stilted dialog to unbelievable characters.

O. K. So maybe this is just the opening and after everyone gets introduced the action will begin? Wrong it can get worse!

Daniel Craig had a nasty speech impediment. Or is that supposed to be some sort of accent? Whatever it is, I am not about to watch the rest of the film with the sound off and reading subtitles.

Sorry but that is it for me.

For anyone that can still stomach it, there are a few twists as the donut hole is filled with a donut with a hole.",1
"Season 1, gave us a fascinating world with deep and interesting characters and a creative story line for a very hard niche topic.

Season 2, apparently fired all screenwriters and exchanged them with stupid monkeys that cant keep any thought straight. There are so many situations that are just unbelievable and dumb which makes all of the story boring and meaningless because NOBODY would act this way in a situation like this. This season is just garbage.

Sorry, really tried to like it.",2
"Another thriller that nothing happens. At all. A blind folded mum with two kids trying to go somewhere....who cares. If you've seen the Happening then get ready for The Non Happening. Again.

Two hours of chirping, wind swirls, leaves and bushes move for a while....give me a break.

Don't waste 2 hours on this go watch something else. Anything..",1
"I love comedy action movies, this isn't one. It misses on so many levels. Either make it total fantasy or anchor it in reality. This just doesn't do either.",4
"Lame premise.

Solution. Write a message. Put it in a bag tied to a rock. Fly a plane over the endangered battalion. I believe the airplane had been invented by the Wright brothers in 1903. So. Drop rock. Job done, if the pilot knows what he's dot. Just one pilot in a bit of danger. Plus, it won't take days to save the men. No need for two hours of dumbness. It's obvious a movie about a message tied to a rock will never be made into a movie. It's obvious I'll never get a job making a movie. It's also obvious that sometimes a mere mortal has the ability to see through a flimsy premise that seemingly no one in the movie business sees. Thank you.",3
"Surreal, hyper and ADHD satisfying paced cinema that should come with a prerequisite course to prepare the viewer of its intentions and meaning. Like the vintage Eraserhead, it can leave the viewer agitated and confused instead of entertained. For some, they ""get it"" and that's ok. For others like me, it's too much work to invest in getting satisfaction. The Oscar accolades and numerous awards are an overreach but I do agree that there is talent demonstrated in the concept and cinematography. Whether Hollywood is attempting to show its acceptance of the Asian community with all of these awards remains a question, in my opinion. Frankly, I'm impressed but not to the point of believing it deserved so many awards.",3
Boring and an over exaggerated plot. I mean everyone already knows what happens since it's based on a true story. So don't waste your time.,2
"This movie literally sent tingles through my spine, it's the scariest horror I've seen in a long time. It's a debut movie from young Australian filmmakers and they've hit the mark. They've left it open to a possible sequel too. I can see it getting a following. The characters are so real and the quick easy connection to them makes their suffering so close to home. Plenty of suspense and jumpy scenes. It keeps you on the edge of the seat throughout. The story is fast and terrifying. An original plot with believable dialogue. Absolutely creepy and nightmare provoking, I'll see how I sleep tonight..",10
"Just unbelievable. Right from the way this movie was directed, the song album (I suggest folks download it from authentic source this movie deserves it; you will not be disappointed with this album), stellar performance with regards to acting of all the actors in the movie (just A-grade; superlative) and I bet if you're a ""hyper-nationalist"" like me, you will walk out with a 2-inch swell on your chest without any push-ups or bench press. If you find faults with this, I don't know what can please you! Special kudos to Mohit Raina (impressive on big screen), Yami and of course Vicky (tremendous)!",10
"The house was funnier than the actors. We were expecting a really clever and comedic movie, given all the rave reviews. We were disappointed; it was not all that funny and the story line was average.",5
"Valyrians are pale white with silver hair and purple/blue/green eyes. Not just white, pale white. Not just Targaryens, all Valyrians.

Dark-skinned people come from The Summer Isles and Naath, not Essos.

These two were boldly mentioned in books and the show but they ruined the show with making lord Velaryon and his descendents black. No one would complain if characters like blood and cheese and Marston Waters were black. However a black velaryon is silly.

A world of Ice and Fire is based on medieval Europe, specifically Westeros. The whole point to the alieness and strangeness to the Targaryens is that they are a pale, white haired , purple eyed race from Essos(Asia) that tamed dragons. They are obsessed with keeping their bloodline pure so much that they marry brother to sister. When the 12 year old Velaryon girl says she will give him many pure blooded Targaryen children I nearly spit out my drink. I'm all for racial diversity in casting but this makes no sense. You have two whole other continents and the summer Isles to cast those with a darker skin tone.",5
"La La Land sent the cinematic world into a frenzy, and I can't quite say I understand the hype. A musical in 2017 is bound to send people into a frenzy of excitement, anticipation and nostalgia. However, I think it was a bit over done. The beautiful dance scene after the party was a scene well though out enough to get all of our 1950s musical senses tingling, however didn't the iPhone ring just ruin it? I can see what the filmmakers are trying to do here, but isn't it a bit overbearing and too ironic? Irony is best served subtly. Although, the songs were captivating and both actors delivered beautiful performances and I won't forget about it any time soon. Worth seeing, even if it is to just be a bit confused by the concept.",6
"""Dunkirk"" is a movie set during World War 2, about the English army that is trying to leave the beach of Dunkirk in France, after the Germans trapped them there. This is based on true historical events. I liked the non-linear storyline which is the typical Nolan's trademark and by the end all the pieces come back together. Special effects are absolutely fantastic and the air fight sequences are extremely intense and realistic: no big and impossible explosions, no over the top action; which is quite an achievement, considering that Hollywood tends to over exaggerate everything. The photography is excellent and there are some amazing shots over the sea that I have truly enjoyed. The acting was decent, this is not the best cast that Nolan had: actors were pretty much bland and for sure none of them left me impressed, with the exception of Tom Hardy whose talent is indisputable.

Despite being technically thrilling and narratively interesting, the first 30 minutes were really slow and boring, and it seemed like the story was not progressing. Nolan needed to absolutely trim down a few sequences, he should have deepened characters way more, I felt like I barely knew them by the end of the film. The ending is very generic and uninspired and looks abrupt. The soundtrack is at times annoying and repetitive. Don't get me wrong: ""Dunkirk"" is overall a nice film, but from the guy that made ""Inception"" and ""Interstellar"", I was expecting way more than this.",6
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 is a film directed by David Yates. Since this was the second last instalment, my anticipation for this one was sky high. And after watching the film, I can say that that film exceeded all my expectations.

Plot: Harry, Ron and Hermione team up to destroy the secret to his immortality - Horcruxes.

Story and direction: This film started the trend of the last part being split up to two films. But I can say without doubt that none have achieved the level of greatness that this film achieved. As I have stressed in the previous instalments, the character work in this film is just like no other film series. The makers know what the audience expects and just taps on to that. From the very first scene you know that the stakes are real and the setting itself made me worry for the safety of the characters. We have some amazing action sequences in the film which are very beautifully shot and nicely edited. The film mostly takes place between the 3 main characters of the film. And it never feels boring just to watch them doing what they are great at. Alexandre Desplat's score is just amazing. The sets and camera work for the film is beautiful. The VFX is the best the series has to offer. Some characters do suffer consequences and you do feel sad for them. The film does end in a cliffhanger but that will not disappoint as it is known the film will continue.

Performances: Daniel Radcliffe was great as Harry Potter. The emotional depth this character has is deep and you feel for him. Emma Watson as Hermione Granger is just great. For the first time in the series, I felt the emotional side of this character. Rupert Grint successfully portrays a different side of Ronald Weasley. This film does introduce Bill Nighy as Rufus Scrimgeour. The role is small but good enough to leave an impression. Also introduced here is Rhys Ifans as Xenophilius Lovegood. I did feel the role was good but a bit unnecessary.

Favorite Scene: It would be a scene when Harry decides to cheer Hermione when she is sad by having a small dance with her. This scene showed the maturity and understanding these characters have for each other. I came to know from somewhere that this scene was nowhere in the book. So it is a big pat on the makers' back for innovating something new and presenting us in a good way.

Verdict: For a second last film in a franchise, this film does justice. It sets up scenes for what is about to come and makes us ready for some consequences that might not just be in our favour. Thanks again to David Yates, Steve Kloves and the entire team of Harry Potter for bringing us a franchise that knows how to treat a particular story with respect. I can't just wait for the final instalment.

I am going with a 10.",10
"Dragon Ball is one of the most popular anime titles of our time, when ever you look up at message boards where someone starts a topic about which anime should be broadcast on TV again, this title is bound to be mentioned. I myself have no clue why. Watching Dragon Ball is like watching a Steven Segal or a Chuck Norris action flick: an endless array of fights, the main hero always wins. There are no surprises here, everything is predictable, everything is the same... And worst of all, it goes on and on. This show has no common sense to end the story at least in a fair amount of time, to qualify for a guilty pleasure. No. Instead it sets itself to become one of the longest soap operas ever, an epic garbage. Imagine a Sergio Leone epic without Leone's sense for style, measure and weight, and you have Dragon Ball. The first, original season had 153 episodes, the second one, Dragon Ball Z, had 291 (!), and if that weren't enough we have another 64 episodes of Dragon Ball GT, and - I kid you not - another 98 episodes of Dragon Ball Kai. But do not be fooled, folks. This is no Tolstoy, not by a long shot. Sheer quantity over quality can easily become an overkill.

Here on IMDb, Dragon Ball has a rating of 8.6 out of 10, but Segal's movie Out for a Kill has only 3.1 out of 10. Why the discrepancy when both are of equal merit? I have to ask the voters who gave Dragon Ball a 10 (or even a 7) the same question as one of the protagonists posed to writer David in Ingmar Bergman's tragedy Through a Glass Darkly (1961): ""What life truths have you done in your work?"" The questions seems almost ridiculous for this show: it has no truths about life, not a single one. When you encounter a problem, what are you gonna do, perform a kame-hame-ha? When you have to train, are you seriously gonna copy Son Goku's moves? The experience you take away from this show is nonexistent, it is just some guys fantasy about beating up stronger people around him stemming from his frustration. I enjoy a few humorous moments involving Bulma and Kuririn, and that's why I give it two stars. Other than that, I do not want to waste my time on such a long and bad show that is just one huge wrestlemania (and not a good one, at that, either. Compare this to One Piece, which has much more style, imagination and capability of crafting great fights and showdowns). I know I am gonna get hate mail after this, but I don't care, it is irelevant. I enjoy trash and cheese when I want to relax, but I am never gonna say that trash is something great. If you want to spend over 100 hours of fights to get nowhere, enjoy Dragon Ball. If you really want to grow up and realize there is so much more to life, do yourself a favor and watch some epics that nobody heard of, but are classics of wisdom and intelligence, like Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Evangelion or Steins Gate.",2
"Metal clash watered with chatter, occasional loss of control, with your every-day cute hi-tech villains, deadly high-heel chicks, plus a healthy portion of jokes failed on most. Add to it some allegedly going on sense of love during and after the explosions, and you get Iron Man, dubbed 2.

It is unfortunate that the movie fell behind on 3D in making, which is the de-facto expectation today from any high-budget action movie, so it came out flat on a few things, figuratively speaking :) Also, contrary to the expectation of a longer movie, it came out even shorter than the original: 1:52m vs 1:56m, so it does feel short, especially after watching a 2:35m Avatar spectacle.

Still, I enjoyed it, but not sure if I'd see it again, unless it is re-released in 3D.",8
"Utterly garbage, they have ruined everything, and butchered a magnificent fantasy, not recommended, this is an epic failure",2
"I became a huge fan of Taiki Waititi after seeing What We Do in the Shadows. I was very much looking forward to this film. I understood that the subject matter was more serious and it was likely to have much more depth. However, it disappointed me on both counts. It wasn't very entertaining or amusing, and neither did I find it particularly poignant in its message . It kind of felt like it cheaply took a subject matter which is easy to make emotionally stimulating and affecting, but didn't even make the most of that. The two youngsters did a fantastic job to carry the film that is for certain.",6
"Black Mirror is a sci-fi anthology series that offers a humorously dark view of Western civilization by focusing on the relationship between technology and human nature. Each season features a collection of individual vignettes with uniquely creative and uncomfortably thought-provoking narratives. From underscoring the power of social media and the control it has in our daily lives to showing what life could be like when humans have access to memory implants, the show offers a profound and unsettling commentary on the society we live in.

It's a well-written and brilliantly produced high-concept show, with neat cinematography, crisp editing and terrific screenplay calling the shots. Production design, costumes and makeup are totally convincing in almost all the episodes. while some episodes make their point better than others, all present interesting ideas. Appearances by well-known actors like Rupert Everett, Jessica Brown Findlay, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Jon Hamm add to its appeal. All in all, Black Mirror offers a mature Twilight Zone-like viewing experience that is both entertaining and disturbingly captivating.

Overall, The series is a contemporary reworking of 'The Twilight Zone' with stories that tap into the collective unease about the modern world. It's a smart, suspenseful, thought-provoking Sci-Fi series that. There is no progression throughout episodes, each episode is a standalone story, each is unique and has different set of actors. That means that you don't need to be consistently dedicated to it like you would other shows. Mostly, the stories deal with horrors, potential, and/or ideas regarding technology or world concepts. 8.4 stars out of 10 for stunning presentation of mind boggling stories.",8
"The story line is actually very good. The character development is on point. But the acting? Worse acts than most of porn films of these days. Vanya and Allison especially, they really can't act very well.",8
Story is ok but the direction that represent every single characters in the movie are very much important and that part is brilliantly done by the director. Hats-off to sir that present such nice a movie.,10
"I'll admit I never played the game, but after some the episodes that I've watch at the moment, I wish I had.

It shows how much of a twisted sense of humor it has, I mean there are moments where it gets quite intense, and then it goes to being light on it's feet even though it takes place in a Mad Max like universe.

The cast really keeps the show going, and they really found the right actors to pull it together. Anthony Mackie and Thomas Haden Church you can clearly see that are having a blast. The other cast also do not disappoint either. I'm excited on watching more of the show, just a fun twisted ride.",8
"This movie fails because Zachary Levi doesn't even try to make us believe that he is a specific person in a new body. The movie BIG worked because Tom Hanks captured the specific character of a child in an adult body. In this movie, the adult Billy Batson seems emotionally about five years younger than the child Billy. The child Billy is serious with serious problems. The adult Bill is goofy, giddy, and silly. This child Billy wants to find his mother. The adult Billy wants to eat snack foods. The adult Billy's character disconnects use from any emotional connection with the film. Why should we care about Billy's problems when he himself doesn't? There is some clever stuff in the script that is completely missed by the actor (and apparently the director) that would have helped us make an emotional connection. This is one of the few times where I would say that script was better than the execution of it.",6
"Any Indian can relate to this feature, as it shows you exactly how caste,creed and religious beliefs pulls back our society from taking that big leap into a bright future. If u r a emotional person it will surely leave a mark on u. Ashutosh sees to it that no character on screen goes unused. Shahrukh takes a break from his usual no-brainer movies to try and make an impact on the viewer and proves he has not lost his agility to the so called masala films.Beautiful music scoring by the Mozart-of-Madras Rehman makes the viewing experience even more fulfilling, especially ""yeh jo des"". Even though the runtime is well over 180 mins the plot doesn't let you down.Overall a wonderful movie, a thumbs up to ashutosh and shahrukh.",10
"I liked ""A star is born"", but then I watched this movie from 2017 and wondered what ""A star is born"" was missing...well a lot of things - of course if the movie was created to justify the title.

This movie is not made for Oscars or awards , it is made for reasons. Reasons that prevent from millions of people to reach their potential. It's an ode to a mother, an ode to a girl child and hopefully a lesson for a lot of people to be more accepting. My Oscar for 2018 goes to this movie, just because it was not just entertainment but also and inspiration.

Great natural acting, very minimalistic and simplistic direction, strong message and a inspiration to dream! The movie is a bit longish but it was needed to develop the characters to their full potential. Having said that cutting off 15 minutes would have made it a bit better for international markets as well.

Completely recommended for all the people who are looking for a movie to be engrossed in! ( Note that i love Avengers as well, but this one is not a movie where you can read a book while watching the movies, take a seat and take a ride with this one!)",10
"I wanted to love this show and eagerly await every new episode. And beyond the first 2 weeks, I've been more or less disappointed every time. It's clear that the show is trying to focus more on the human stories than on action, but given that, I'm surprised by their casting choices. Melanie Lynskey was downright bad for a key role through a major part of the season, and Bella Ramsey just doesn't seem to be working for the lead role. And everything about episode 8 was quite forgettable. Actually episode 8 felt a lot more like the videos inside games than a TV show, maybe that's what they were going for? In any case, the show isn't living up to the hype and while I'll still watch the remaining episodes, I'm no longer expecting anything cool.",5
"First off perfect casting, Henry Cavill is the Witcher. Not perfect but still one of the best shows right now. I feel like it's just going to get better.",9
"I actually think this film is superior to the first one. It doesn't waste much time introducing characters, and the few new characters (namely, Callum Turner as Theseus Scamander, Zoe Kravitz as Leta Lestrange, and, of course, Johnny Depp as Gellert Grindelwald) are introduced cleanly and neatly.

One of my biggest issues with the film is its many plot threads. It tries nobly, and partly succeeds, in taking numerous elements and incorporating them into a big plot twist. The problem is that the film struggles in how much time is relegated to these elements. It spends almost half an hour on the romance between Eddie Redmayne's Newt Scamander and Katherine Waterson's Tina Goldstein, a pretty much inconsequential aspect of the film. In fact, that serves as Newt's primary motivation for around half of the film.

Newt, I feel, is an exceptionally built protagonist that lacks a comparitively built motivation or reason. Jude Law's Albus Dumbledore is perfectly compelling, due mostly to his character in the books and Law's depiction. Grindlewald is one note, but hopefully they'll expand his character in future installments. And the primary driving point, Crendence Barebone, is expertly managed, if a bit underdeveloped, by Ezra Miller.

The visuals are spectacular and the story, though boring in some parts, picks up beautifully at the end.

"One of the best series I've ever watched. Brilliant, thought-provoking, realistic. BUT the 5th season is a disaster. I watched 2,5 episodes; hoping for something good to come up, thinking it must be me who doesn't appreciate the genius but no, it's really a huge dissapointment!",8
"The movie plays like the worst episode of COLUMBO you have ever seen, only this time it features Daniel Craig attempting to imitate Foghorn Leghorn. Learn from my mistake and avoid this turkey.",4
"Avatar: The Way of Water is an impressively large and extraordinarily long film. Set many years after the original, the film follows the continuing lives of Jake Sully and Neytiri - now with a family consisting of several teenage Na'vi children (with the film focusing on the children for much of its runtime). When marines return to Pandora seeking revenge, the couple must flee from their jungle home to the shores of a coastal tribe. There, they must learn to adapt to their new home, overcoming conflicts within their new tribe, as well as Colonel Miles Quaritch (now cloned and in an Avatar body) who is hunting for them in a relentless quest for revenge.

Avatar 2's effects are excellent, most of the CGI is beautifully rendered and necessary for the film's sweeping camerawork and scope. It's so good, in fact, that it's easy to forget almost nothing you're seeing on screen at any given moment is real. Unfortunately, many of the underlying failures of this sort of CGI remain: the characters and objects often appear weightless, leading to moments where the physics of what's happening lands firmly in the uncanny valley - even if the aesthetics are often breathtaking.

In 2009, the ambition of rendering the majority of a live action film in a computer (one which looked magnitudes more convincing than even the most impressive CGI of the time) was daring enough to justify a tradeoff in verisimilitude. The first film became the highest grossing film of all time because audiences had never seen such expansive use of CGI. Now, though? It's all they know. While they might be cheaper, and not as gorgeously rendered or intricately detailed, Marvel movies - just as colorful, creative, expansive, and busy - are so popular and ubiquitous that the novelty of these massive CGI spectacles is long dead.

Given how the industry has changed over the past dozen+ years, and the massive gap between the two films, one might assume Cameron would dedicate considerable time, energy, and attention to his script - he has not. Motivations, character development, and structure are all laughably thin. Despite it's 195-minute runtime, the film is largely uneventful - the main characters haven't grown or changed in any meaningful way by the end of the story, and the motivations of the antagonists are entirely contrived, making precisely zero sense.

Filling the void between action spectacles is what some might try to call ""character work"" mostly centering around the children of protagonists, Jake and Neytiri. The children are viewed as outsiders to the new tribe and are challenged to fit in, a plotline which derivatively borrows from the first film, itself an already-tired Dances with Wolves retread.

The dialogue is a significant issue here - it's laughably blunt, a cringe-worthy mix of direct verbalizations of feelings, and irrelevant, throwaway banter, all obviously written by a 68 year old with a distant, bland memory of what being a child is like. Cameron seems to think all it takes to depict a teenager is to have them say ""bro"" and ""cuz"" in every sentence, while getting into lots of absolutely senseless fights with some of the most cliche bullies ever put to film and always, *ALWAYS* doing the opposite of whatever they're told.

The performances are... fine, I guess. There are very few scenes featuring real humans in the entire film, so the CGI and motion capture is forced to do all the heavy lifting. Actors become voice actors, and only Zoe Saldana musters any genuine emotion - though she is sadly in very few scenes, serving as little more than a background character for the majority of the film (as are almost all of the women, to be honest, appearing to exist on the world of Pandora only to bare children - sometimes even after death).

The plot doesn't make a whole lot of sense... Quaritch is cloned into an Avatar body (in the first of *many* absurd contrivances in this movie) and embarks on a mission of revenge against Jake Sully. This could be ok as a simple way to kick off the plot - but it never develops beyond this and it doesn't even make any sense because this isn't a *personal* mission of revenge - he's literally given orders to go after Jake, as if the entire Earth military presence is there on Pandora *ONLY* to go after Jake. Quaritch seemingly has no other purpose for being there.

This also introduces problems for the plot when viewed in the context of the first film. The entire reason Jake Sully was recruited by the military in the first place is because they made an Avatar body for his twin brother and when his twin brother was killed the Avatar would have been useless had it not been for Jake. But now we're told they have the capability to not only clone people and Avatar bodies, but also download and save those people's memories to be uploaded into the cloned bodies. Why they didn't just do this with Jake's brother is a question left unanswered.

Speaking of plot problems introduced by this movie... the goal of the humans in the first movie was to acquire ""unobtainium"" which goes entirely unmentioned in the sequel. This is yet another absurd contrivance because it means we can conveniently forget all about the jungle Na'vi and what they must be going through trying to defend themselves from the humans who would no doubt be resuming attacks on their home in order to obtain more ""unobtainium."" But because Cameron wants to show his cool new water special effects, he doesn't want us thinking about the tired old jungle he's leaving behind and he knows he can't do that if we're reminded of the giant ""unobtainium"" repository underneath the burnt remains of the Na'vi home tree.

About halfway into the film, we're introduced to another, similar MacGuffin, when the whalers (who don't even appear to be a part of the military at all) extract some kind of glowing golden goo out of one of the whale-like Tulkun. We're told this goo is capable of completely halting aging in humans. One might immediately wonder why this is so valuable though, given humans can apparently have all their memories downloaded into a clone - effectively making them immortal - but Cameron doesn't linger long enough for the audience to ask tough questions because this is never mentioned again and has no real bearing on the plot at all. It's *probably* setup for one of the sequels, but nobody has any reason to care at this point. The only reason this appears to be included in the movie at all is to give the humans an excuse to be at sea, attacking the water Na'vi tribes.

This is already getting ridiculously long so I'll just rapid-fire a few thoughts here...

The children are captured *THREE TIMES* in this movie. So much so that one of them even comments about it, exasperatedly saying she can't believe she's been captured again.

The final battle is ridiculously absurd on multiple levels but the most significant issue with it is that the water Na'vi just *disappear* halfway through the battle so it's just Jake and his family (along with the daughter of the leader of the water Na'vi - which was his entire reason for getting involved in the first place) left to fend for themselves.

The outcast Tulkun was a really interesting idea that suffers from terrible execution. The water Na'vi treat him like a murderer because he fought back against humans who murdered his family. It felt like very cult-like rigid adherence to dogma and didn't sit right with me.

There are also seemingly only three types of human in this movie: The Evil Military Grunt, The Evil Apathetic Capitalist Profiteer, and the Sympathetic Scientist who gives lip to their peers and maybe defects (but we won't know until we see them in a background shot of Avatar 3). No one resembling a real person. Only one-dimensional Saturday-morning cartoon characters. Oh, and Spider, I guess.

Suffice to say, outside of the spectacle of the admittedly very impressive CGI, this movie is absolutely terrible.

"Was expecting just an Ooky, Kooky kind of show in the Addams Family tradition. But I started watching it, and ended up binge watching the entire season. Jenna Ortega absolutely embodies Wednesday, she was amazing in the role.

The whole story line was very interesting, and, in most parts, flowed well. It lags in a few spots with some of the tertiary characters stories, but that's a minor complaint.

The only thing that grinded on my nerves was the casting of Luiz Guzman as Gomez...he didn't fit the role at all. Not meant to be a shot at him as an actor, just not for this role. Though his role in the series is minimal, it took me out of the story whenever he appeared. Fred Armisen.as Uncle Fester makes up for it...he was hilarious.

If you're looking for fun and entertaining show to watch, I highly recommend this one.

Jenna has my vote for an Emmy on this one.",8
"Good cast with decent performances, but the story was clunky and the dialogue was painfully awkward at times. All of the main characters seemed a little ""lost"" in their own storylines as if they were looking for someone to lead them as opposed to really taking the reigns to track the murderer/solve the case.

Sometimes it was like when you talk to a person who you can tell doesn't fully understand you and you get that sorta blank stare ... the characters' dialogue often felt like that. One talks then the other just says nothing or answers in some vague reply that adds nothing to the plot.

Certain scenes were just not right. For instance towards the beginning a man spontaneously pulls a gun on another man in a parking lot. Next thing you know they are surrounded by cops with a chopper overhead??? Who the hell called the cops, and how long did that guy just stand there pointing the gun? I am thinking the way he walked up he had two choices ... immediately shoot the other man, or decide not to and run off. Instead I guess he waited 15 minutes to 45 minutes for SWAT to arrive.

So I guess some of the scenes were too unrealistic or generally not thought through.

Overall the series was not compelling. Probably worth watching if you like the cast (which I do) or if you like Steven King (which I do); however, with some better writing and a different focus this tale could have been much more sinister and realistic. As it was made, it feels really really generic.",3
"Honestly, if it wasn't for Oscar Issac (I'm a huge fan of his) I wouldn't have even finished the show. As a die hard old school Marvel fan, this was pretty disappointing... or maybe my expectations were too high? I just don't know anymore. Since Disney has taken over the Marvel shows, they have definitely gone down hill.",5
"I first came to know about this movie was through IMDb votes. May be because of its star cast (which I respect a lot today) I was not interested. Any ways I decided to watch it because of reason I mentioned. To my surprise it turned out hilarious.

It's not one of your Adult comedies which turn out extremely entertaining because of its adult factor.

The show runs for about one and half hour. It is perfectly scripted and synchronized to keep you in your seat for all this time, kudos for that. The fun ride never ends; something comes up at every instance as the movie progresses.

While reading some of the reviews I got to know the movie to be copy of a French film. What I think is it doesn't matter. For me it was original. To add further I encourage such originals.

Acting: To act with such a script was difficult. Vinay Pathak nailed it. Ranvir Shorey was a treat to watch as well.

Final Verdict: I would say I have seen such a level of humor only in adult comedies. Thus it stands in crowd. Please do watch it!",8
"Too weak plot. Made me laugh. Emotional moments reminded me korean love stories. And on top of everything, asian people dont mind their own businesses like Americans or Europeans when things like this happen in public. Lol.. Pls..",1
"I consider a technically well made movie, good story with great actors, but nothing more. Use the melodic drama injustice, but not quite spectacular, as a masterpiece of cinema. I think a great movie for afternoon session, but not the level of movies that have the best score of all time. This I consider an injustice. This film has to have something else to be an excellent movie. I respect the majority opinion here, but I put my sincere considerations, here is a democratic space to put our feelings and emotions. Film is a passion, and I'm sure we'll be together to honest debate with many other films. I liked this movie, but without much enthusiasm, as in the comments here. For me, a movie only average ...",4
"What really stands out here are the characters. The characters draw from real people without shoving it down the watcher's throat. From experimental COVID vaccines, to an almost impossibly expensive private island it captures the separation between the average person and the ultra-rich perfectly. This movie is not all about who did it, it's about the fun and banter along the way.

While Knives out kept the watcher guessing and asking whodunnit, Glass Onion takes us in a refreshingly different direction. If you just take a moment to fully inbreathiate this movie you will not regret it, especially in an age where money can get you just about anywhere, even space.",8
"I was super excited when I heard I got tickets to see this at a free 3-D screening. I am a huge sci-fi fan and I love movies that take place in space. I went in expecting what I had read in other reviews, a great sci-fi thriller. I guess I did not see the same movie as them. I saw a movie with almost nothing to go on except Sandra Bullocks emotions. It relies way too much on the viewer putting themselves in her shoes. She is an incredible actress but just showing her getting emotional and freaking out for an hour and a half is not a good movie. You barely learn anything about the characters. The ending is predictable. The only thing this movie has going for it is the visuals and the sound. The view of Earth and the shuttles and stations look great. This could have been a much better movie. I get that they were probably trying to make it very claustrophobic and wanted you to ride the same stressful and emotional roller coaster as Bullock but it's hard to do when you're sitting in a comfy chair on Earth and barely know a thing about her character. Don't expect an action packed thriller or even a smart sci-fi that makes you think and you might like it. Really, this movie is barely sci-fi. I'm glad I did not pay to see this.

Bottom line: Fairly predictable, boring way too often, looks great.",5
The acting was good. Have no idea what the movie was about!,3
"Like the robot. Dr. Smith is interesting, but too frenetic for me. Don was a tough curmudgeon in the original series, and they've made him a goofball in the re-boot. Not awful, because he is funny, but not true to the original series in any way. I always liked Don in the original because he was the one to go down swinging if need be. The dominance of all female characters is a bit much and very transparent in another 21st century attempt to minimize men and maximize women. The most glaringly obvious place where the new series misses the mark is in the ""Lost"" part of the title. We are a season and 1/2 in now, and the Robinsons are still with the Resolute group and not on their own. The original series was a pilot episode where they disappeared and then every episode was the Robinsons in a new place against new monsters or villains. And last - but not least - Will Robinson is simply AWFUL. The kid is on the verge of tears in just about every scene. The original Will was a no nonsense character who wasn't ultra sensitive. The kid actually ruins the show for me. And he and the robot is written and acted like a love story. AWFUL. The robot, names, and title are the only place this show is true to the original. I would give it a 2.5/5.",5
"I recently watched the seven-episode miniseries ""The Queen's Gambit."" Despite being unfamiliar with chess, I was captivated by the intricacies of this complex world. The series follows the story of an orphaned prodigy who learns chess from an orphanage janitor, shaping her entire life around the game. As she navigates the emotional challenges of her youth, the series keeps you engaged without giving away too much-I won't spoil it.

The show unveils a new perspective on chess, showcasing the intellectual complexities and various playing styles within the world of chess, arguably the greatest intellectual sport. Anyone watching this series, even without prior chess knowledge, will likely feel a sense of regret for not delving into the intricacies of this fascinating game.",8
"Even tho it's one of the first and most known animes in history, it has absolutely nothing to make you watch it. The animations are probably the best thing this anime has, that's why I'm giving it two stars. The story is boring and uninteresting, way too overpowered characters and every episode has huge unnecessary fillers.

This is a torture to watch. When I was a kid, I was watching because everybody was talking about how cool it is and everything. It was not even close to what they said. It's like the Battleship of animes: Boring and retarded story, uninteresting characters, linear as hell and huge explosions that keep you entertained for the moment.

Now, I'm sure every single Dragon Ball Z fan out there (and there are many) are gonna get so mad for this, but this is the truth. There is nothing and absolutely nothing that you can say to make this anime as ""awesome"" as everybody says it is. Even if I tried my best at explaining how ""awesome"" it is, it would still sound like sh*t.

Final conclusion: Most overrated piece of cr*p I have ever seen.",1
Expensive production to portray war as something of drama and emotion. War is hell and death. Kill or be killed. Those that benefit from so many giving their lives to this horror are now benefiting in the glamorization of it. Complete garbage absent of any touch with reality. Sick.,1
"I rated 2 out of 10 because this could be a good story. However lifeless acting, especially by the lead character (Lilly), make it impossible to watch. You will be waisting your time with this one, go watch something else...",2
"First about the herd of low star ratings decrying the cost. Learn patience and wait until a library has a copy. Second, the movie & music industries long ago established non-competitive pricing amongst themselves for their products that garnered excessive profits (like the pharmaceutical peoples today). Apple & digital helped to reduce that. The message at the beginning ""Piracy is not a victimless crime ... harms the economy."" is in place w/the help of lobbyists and politicians (wanting donations), and is mostly meant to maximize those profits. Third, as to the movie it should be commended for it's vast CGI effects although it's getting computer cheap to produce those effects these days. On the down side, out CGI-ing everyone else has the effect of making us boringly saturated with over-effects, and loss of meaningful story, intelligent dialogue & good acting. Fourth, don't expect intelligent scripting e.g. sound effects still in space; physically impossible space structures; bad science i.e. the Big Bang created six colored glass crystals??; the usual colored lasers; fire throwing, & force fields from your hands; swords, guns & naugahyde clothing (from cheap plastic if you don't know); aliens w/vocal structures that speak perfect English (at least they didn't script some subtitled alien speak). Fifth, excessive dramatic music to sub for realistic and/or repetitive action. Dialogue amongst all seemed at a dumbed down level like neighbors arguing over which football team is better. Science dialogue such as describing a ""quadrant"" is pre-digital 19th century accuracy - dumb! Sixth, the ending and the recently overused CGI of bodies turning to ashy bits of floating organic material was obscure, and meant to make more money on a sequel.",4
"Normally track racing is boring for me as I love illegal street racing but I'm fond of Le Mans racing which the movie was proper about Le Mans racing but wasn't satisfying enough about cars and racing itself. As how for the movies' sake directors focus on the most well-known information about everything so ordinary audiences can get and hyped they did overfocus on RPM that got boring fast. At least the movie gives the proper message of ""a car is only good as much as its driver but a driver is limited by what a car can do"" but to impress the audience they made up some fast driving philosophy which was too cringy.

The movie has a lame name which prevented me from watching it before but eventually I was in the mood for a racing movie and I like Christian Bale's acting. The cherry on top was watching Ken Miles being fun which is why my score is 5, otherwise I would give it 1. However watching Ken Miles having lots of family moments way more than the movie being about Ford, Ferrari, cars and racing was boring. What was also fun is Ford as a company being an idiot. In a sense the movie was more about business men vs racers. It makes it very interesting when you learn this idiocy actually happened. What's more boring is pointless action scenes. A woman driving fast for no good reason, people having fight for no good reason, et cetera.

The movie was not bad or good but objectively it definitely doesn't worth more than 3. The only plot twist about this movie is people giving this movie 9 - Bloody hell!",5
"I remember not really loving this the first time. The white peacock being the villain, a lot of red throughout the movie etc made me not so happy because I wanted a bit more of the first one. Now on a rewatch, I still have some problems with the colors and the animation. It is more detailed and advanced than the first I guess but it doesn't have the same charm as the first. But that's more of a personal preference maybe because of a bit of nostalgia too even when it originally came out. Three years was a huge time being a teenager, I guess. Now in a rewatch, I see that the story tries to have some depth and can maybe considered even better than the first. It has the action, comedy and great dialogue as should be expected from a sequel to the first part. Overall, it's as good if not better than the first.",8
"Taxi driver is a film I wanted to watch but with trepidation. Apparently one of the great films showing a man's alienation and slide... but instead I got a slow if brilliantly acted and directed movie but worst of all, totally unrealistic interactions between characters.

One of my big issues with Hollywood is how it sets up interactions between people which are so unrealistic. The relationship between Bickle and Betty is ridiculously set up and there's no way in a million years there would ever be a date or dinner between those two. And I know he lacks social skills but nobody ever in history thought a first date at a dirty film was the way to go. All the interactions between characters are awkward in fact and the descent the character takes just happens. There's no real reason for it or big moment he just gets real intense all of a sudden, once again, unrealistic. The movie is also slow paced.

What is good is the cinematography, New York looks dark, grimy yet full of life and you feel like you're there. The score is good too. And Deniro is fantastic, the way he can portray characters is quite special.

I don't recommend however - Death wish I'd an easily superior film.",5
"I found this to be a mixed bag.

First up, when I walked into the cinema I expected there to be lots of young Barbie fans - there weren't more than a handful. The audience was a real cross section. Probably the majority were females - just. People of all ages from a few young girls through to pensioners - with lots in the teeneager to late 20's group. Lots of people wearing pink.

This is the first time I can remember since Terminator 2 where I couldn't go to the screening time I wanted as it was sold out for my two first choices (in the day time).

I was expecting a high camp movie that works on both levels - young kids and something for the adults. Thats not really what we got. This is not a kids movie. The group of kids sat near us were visibly bored after the first half an hour. Its a 12A for a reason. There seems to be a perception that this movie is for little girls waving Barbies around - it isn't.

The first half hour has all the camp stuff, setting the scene, adults acting as dolls, funny Barbie world-isms, etc.

Then it changes when America Ferrera and her joy-sucking teenage daughter are introduced. It stops being so much fun. The central message of the film is then clumsily hammered home with no subtlety for the rest of the movie - taking the viewer out of Barbie world. Its message is also delivered inconsistently.

The final joke of the movie does not hit home very well and seemed a bit unnecessary.

With the above criticisms, heres the mixed bag bit - it was very funny in places. We laughed out loud lots, but seemed to be the only people in the 3/4 full theatre laughing. Its also very clever in places - like the discontinued Barbies.

Ryan Gosling is excellent. Will Ferrell is hilarious. Michael Cera is good. Others are confusing (Rhea Perlman's character...). I expected more from Ncuti Gatwa - given he is the new Dr Who.

Some very amusing musical numbers.

It felt a little long. Would have made a nice 90 minute movie.",5
"Stranger Things is like the love child between The X-Files and Hanna. Super top secret government conspiracy, bionic super-child with super powers... It's all been done before, but this show gives it all a unique twist. A must watch tv series by Netflix.",8
"The film Fargo from 1996 is a thriller directed by the Coen Brothers. This is not a typical thriller, more a dark comedy, one based on the twisted truths of what one man was ultimately capable of. Jerry's unimaginable decisions when he found himself stuck in a bind illustrate the twisted extremes a human can go to in pursuit of money. Jerry is the executive manager of one his father-in-laws car dealerships. Although his wife comes from a very wealthy family, Jerry does not have the close relationship; one he would need to be able to ask his in-laws for money. When he falls behind on his bills he comes up with the genius idea to have his wife kidnapped so he can cash in on the ransom money. He thinks his plan is fool proof, but it ends up hiring two dangerous men, more dangerous then he could ever imagine. His meeting with Carl and his eerily quiet friend end in multiple homicides, including a state trooper, Jerry's wife, his father-in law and even Carl. Margie, the chief officer involved in the investigating the kidnapping and the other homicides is seven month pregnant. Margie is a simple lady from a small town and she is very good at what she does. Margie suspects Jerry has something to do with his wife's disappearance almost immediately. His nervous twitchy demeanor catches her attention. Fargo is a seemingly slow paced film and builds without the need for dramatic music or the typical serial killer, but is still able to make you jump or squirm. The Coen brothers are brilliant in the way weave different horrible true stories into one amazing film. They show the intensity that a person can feel when they feel trapped in a corner with no way to go. Margie follows the clues and ties together seemingly unrelated events that all tie together in the end. One seemingly controlled act spiraled out of control leaving Jerry with noting in the end.",9
This is not ha bad film but it is certainly not a 9 or 10 which lots of people have voted - it has some decent moments but far to long and needlessly wrong. Lots of violence and gore and was actually laughing at the blood pouring out in the darkness as someone was decapitated - maybe try watching the actual gore site videos as nothing like what was shown.,5
"Stupid story, incomprehensible plot, overlong action pieces. The story feels like a 6 year old wrote it - entire countries go through a revolution in one evening, based on a single tv message. The filming is over styled with long, leery shots of women (all of whom are filmed from below so you can stare up their skirts).

This film is offensively bad. It makes Hobbs and Shaw look like Kane and Abel.",1
"I just came back from a premier of Spider-man 2 and let me say that it is one of the best Superhero movies ever. Scratch that, it is one of the best MOVIES ever. Maybe i'm just riding the high of coming back from it but I don't know, I really don't think I'll change my mind anytime soon. I don't want to spoil anything so I won't but you gotta trust me on this and just go see it. I enjoyed every minute of it and wasn't bored for one second. I thought it handled the continuity of the previous movie well and it incorporated other elements from the Spider-man universes that really added to the franchise(movie). I was surprised how well they were to pull this off. This movie is far superior to Spider-man 1. Not that the first one wasn't good, I liked it a lot but this one just blows it out of the water IMO. Also being a big fan of Sam Raimi I was glad to see more ""Raimi-isms"" in the film. It seems like they gave several nods to the Evil Dead/Army of Darkness movies. Which was super cool the way the did it and didn't interfere with the movie at all. I was kinda of giddy when I was watching those scenes. Anyway, go watch it. It's a great movie. As I said, I think it's one of the best Superhero movies ever.",10
This is a really bad movie. Sandra Bullock however is a great actress who lifts the movie up but not enough for a bad rating from me.,4
Very good plot. Multiple stories are greatly connected and screenplay is very good. You will not be bored at any point.,10

"If you have patience to sit in a theater for a long, slow, meaningless dialogue movie, then this is your type. If you expect to see a movie with war scenes, the don't waste your time nor money. This is a very slow and boring movie, probably the worst war movie we ever seen, we just can't wait for it to end.",1
"Ok, good acting, but the movie is too long and boring. I don't know why it has too many high ratings! I also didn't like the 4:3 aspect ratio with no color screen! my eyes went blind for this!",5
"This film is very fast paced with no character buildup with really trash crossover at the end with surprising result yet confusing post credit scene. If you want a timepass magic then this film is sure shot for you with no violence carnage dissapoint everyone fan /non fan.. I don't know why the hell sony is keep destroying the venomverse cause im literally dissapointed with it's first part byt still hope with the characters and epic fight but when I knew the runtime of the movie i predicted about buildup and overall but the result is some amount of shocking at post credit and also this film is fit in the genre of timepass category cause this film is really dissapointing yet enjoyable at same time with venom and eddie chemistry!

I really love the venom character but i think with pist credit now mcu will handle after this cause everyone know what type of confusion is created by morbius trailer and multiverse of spiderman no way home.. So i think this film is not too surprising.. You can skip it also cause it doesn't affect anything expect last battle and end credit also post credit..

I didn't think this film is that type of great experience in thetres but because of hype and character portrait many people are excited about this crap.",6

Hours of nothin. Only thing good about this film is the actors. Waste of time,3
"Even Shah Rukh couldn't save this overdone plot less fiasco. The film smacks of a modern version of one of those Amitabh Bachchan action ""hits"" from the 70s, one of the really bad forgettable ones that is. The story is weak and all but Shah Rukh really need more acting lessons, particularly his new female counterpart. Kareena Kapoor would have been better in this role as she at least might have brought some life into this lifeless character. Anyway, there are no surprises and it is easy to guess the trajectory of the story from the beginning. The one positive point I will say is the main dance number at the conclusion is fantastic and it is obvious Ms. Khan put most of her effort into choreography and not directing a movie with much substance. If she continues in Bollywood and can manage to combine a fantastic story with her dance numbers, she will indeed create a winner. But, alas, Main Hoon Na is not that winner. Let this one go by.",3
"How is this the most highly rated GOTG Movie!??

Apart from Rockets backstory this was utter garbage. Predictable, Irrational garbage. I literally walked out of the cinema! I couldn't even finish it. I'm sorry but since the last Avengers movie all the Marvel films have been terrible!!! Predictable, Childish and lazy writing throughout (Dr Strange 2, Thor L&T etc...).

What the hell were those stupid, mutated, pig flesh security costumes about at the weird fleshy space station and why did they just aimlessly barrel into every ""Immensely dangerous, impenetrable"" fortress without a plan and just happen to make it through... I get that this is a superhero movie but come on, at least try and make some sense!!

They will never have another penny of my money!",2
"Blood, violence and vengeance. Brutal TV show adaptation of the comic with great acting. One of the must see of the summer... You won't regret it!",9
"The movie is undoubtedly a train wreck, but not in the way you'd think. Its competently made and even has some genuinely good moments. The problem is that it doesn't seem to know what it is. Its violent, but not too violent. Its dark, but not too dark. Its goofy, but not too goofy. Its just kind of a mess. There isnt any narrative or coherent structure, there's no compelling characters, and there's nothing really special. Wouldnt recommend it",3
"Loved the movie, except for the parts including Beyonce as Nala. Absolutely terrible choice. I like Beyonce and her music, but she was an awful choice to be cast as Nala. Ruined the movie. Every time she spoke it just made me angry. Had to immediately watch the original afterwards to chill. So much was fit into the original and feels like half of those details were added into the live action. I just don't get it.",2
Very solid. Great cast. Good storyline. Although it has an element of fantasy it's believable. Mare Whinningham is outstanding!! Very good chemistry between all the characters.,8
"I hate anime.

This might sound weird coming from a guy who's only two reviews on his account so far are of anime shows, but they're the only two I've seen, and under most conditions, it's a statement that holds true. I find the story lines to be unnecessarily contrived, the visual design to be atrocious, the voice acting to be overdone, and the whole thing all-in-all to be just not for me.

However, if there's ever such a thing as a ""gateway"" anime, Death Note is undoubtedly it.

If you're like me and skeptical about the prospect of watching any anime, much less this, you should know that almost every single thing that people don't like about anime is not present here. The character designs are sensible (except for the Shinigami, but it makes sense for them), the few action scenes that are here are realistic and not overdone, the voice acting is believable, and most importantly the storyline is very grounded and makes sense, rarely introducing any fantastical elements beyond the premise.

It's all-in-all a story of intrigue and mind games. A story in which one character has a mystical item that can cause the death of anyone that he has the name and face of might not sound particularly challenging for said character, but it quickly grows more complicated than that. For all of it's different plot threads, though, the story never feels like it's taking on more than it can handle and never gets too confusing (except for the ending, which we'll get to later).

The writers dumped most of their characterization into the show's protagonist, Light Yagami. Despite being the protagonist, he's quite clearly the ""villain"" of the story, making him a character who you simultaneously love and are also rooting against. It's a difficult balance to pull off, but it's done well.

The first season's probably better than the second, but the second is still very much worth your time, even to just see what insane and elaborate schemes will come up next. The show has a good sense of humor but never overdoes its comedic bits, taking a role of comic relief very fitting for such a dark storyline.

Fans of ""epic"" soundtracks (using the word in as much of the old sense as possible) will also enjoy this aspect; every track in the show is memorable and excellently accompanies the scene it's in.

The story loses a bit of steam around the latter parts of the second season, as new antagonists are introduced that, while likable, can never match the perfect dynamic between Light and L. The conclusion of the story in particular is the only part of the story where I felt lost, but the subsequent scenes were much better and, while not perfect, were still a nice conclusion to the series.

The real victory of this show is that it's one of the most engaging things I've ever watched while having relatively few ""action"" scenes. The rules of the more fantastical elements are kept constant and logical, and the story avoids introducing new elements in favor of finding new ways to use existing rules. Luckily, none of the sillier parts of the world are ever required to hold up the plot. All-in-all, it's a unique and well-told story, suitable for even the most dedicated dislikers of Japanese animation. Highly recommended.",9
This movie is a good looking shot for shot remake of the original animated classic which adds nothing to the characters or plot and wouldn't have affected anything if it was never made.You get exactly everything what is advertised from this movie the lion king but in CGI and nothing else.The songs here aren't as good as the original like the other live action remakes and the voice acting is good but not as good as the original like all aspects of this movie.,4
"Started amazing. It's thrilling and very interesting ( although it helps I absolutely love this genre of zombie apocalypse).

I am no familiar at all with the game so its my first contact with this characters.

The story is cool but given the high ratings i was expecting way more. It's a bit predictable and i felt the characters were nothing new either. A bit overused the past trauma and self doubting main character bit too.

Effects and all that are good so it's entertaining, you will be able to finish it in a day. The only problem i have with western series now i have become a super fan of asian ones is the structure they have releasing season every 2/3 years. It's actually painful to finish the show with a cliffhanger and by the time they release the next season you won't even remember what was going in previously. I dropped so many series because of this in the past few years.

If this doesn't bother you, you are all good, enjoy!",8
"Found myself falling asleep at times, the plot wasn't very interesting nor did the villian play any key role in the movie.

I found the acting subpar though the child/adult actors for Shazam were great along with the foster parent subplot.

The subplot with the birth mother wasn't really well done in my opinion.

In the end this is a good film for kids, less so for fans of the Batman trilogy (which will still remain top for DC).",5
Given all the hype and the talk of darker story lines and Tony stripped of the suit and using his mind again I really thought this was going to be awesome. Iron Man was brilliant. I try and pretend Iron Man II didn't happen and The Avengers was INCREDIBLE but this is a really poor movie. The humour is not through the usual one liners but through silly scenes. They wheel out Air Force One and the whole scene is a complete time filler that does nothing to move the plot on - it's just clichéd and gratuitous. For the first time in a Marvel movie the best scenes are all in the trailers and the rest is actually completely miss-able. There is so much wrong it is hard to talk about it without discussing the plot. It really is poor and...and...I can't believe this script was okayed. I'm so upset I can't keep...writing...there's even stupid toilet humour...,2
"Completely lacking in imagination, storytelling, and cinematography, this is the worst I have seen in the series.

Aside from the first 15 and last 15 minutes, The Hallows is the most boring and badly presented to date. I understand character development and a sub story was going on during this portion, but it is so blatantly spoon fed and boring it was borderline offensive. Characters should be developed by following them through a story, not by stopping (or slowing) the story to develop the character! As for audience appeal I can say only this: being a PG-13 movie with such dark and sexual overtones the dialog and presentation feels aimed at the intellect of a 6 year old audience.

Further, the way that characters just hop in and out of scenes, unannounced, and unexplained ruined most every major action sequence for me.

The three main characters can't ever figure anything out on their own or spot obvious traps. They just dumbly wander from dangerous situation to the next while trying not to unravel simple clues. They are constantly bailed out by random characters showing up at just the right random time and place. I didn't read this book, but I have read a few, and the author seems to describe the situations and traps as subtle and tricky. The director failed at this concept completely.

They should not have split this into two movies, and I honestly hope, when I watch part 2 at home, the director pulls his production team, editing, and writing together for something that makes sense and serves to fill more then just time. This movie was terrible and a waste of time!",1
"Not meaning to diss ""Steve Martin Short"", but I didn't expect too much from this. But I am pleasantly surprised at how good it is. Well written, good acting by the ""Martin's"" and especially by Selena Gomez. It's no Soprano's, but definitely worth watching. Give it a try!",9
"This movie has great visuals, and the clothes Barbie wears take me back to my childhood especially the barbie house! Unfortunately, this movie reminds me of a Faberge egg so nice on the outside and beautiful to look at, but there isn't much to see on the inside in this case. Such a waste of millions of dollars that went into this film, but yet there is only a nice beginning, and the rest of the movie is just filled with long dialogue, preachy preach lines that go on into tangents, and they make look guys look super dumb in this film which is messed up lol. I think I like the barbie doll and ken batter in toy story haha. By the way this movie is not for little ones! It will go over their heads LOL.",1
"Read the headline and that says it all. Very overrated movie that is boring and if it wasn't for the underage sex theme, murder and guns and Martin Scorsese this show wouldn't get a second look. The only highlight is a beautiful Cybill Shepard. This show glorifies everything the holier than thou Hollywood elite rail against every day to conservatives.",2
"I've watched this show since i was around 5 years old and i've never stopped rewatching it since. It's by far the best cartoon i've ever seen. It's so silly at times but also delivers deep meanings that i only understand now that i'm older. I loved azula and her whole story because it shows how people act out because they were treated badly at home, and same with zuko. Toph is and was definitely my favorite character out of all of them. She was mean but kind when it mattered and i relate to that a lot honestly

overall this show is so amazing from the animation to the plot to the characters.

"I was getting so hype for this movie ever since I saw the trailer of the winter spoiler catching the captain's shield, and when I actually saw this, I was like meh.... first what I liked about this movie was that, 1. Captain America was so boss but only at certain parts (didnt liked the end personally) 2. Hot girls everywhere (like I mean everywhere) 3.action was pretty good (it was just decent) 4. The winter soldier ( man when he first comes in. He looks and acts so damn cool, and I personally think he was the best character) now what I don't like 1. The damn camera guy (I really hate the camera guy, the entire time I could barley see what was going on, like how can I enjoy the action if the camera guy was shaking the entire time, seriously it's so bad) 2.the plot (if your not too familiar with the comics or not following the movies, you are going to be mad confused on what's going on, I know I was) 3. The same already used plot (the plot for this movie seemed like everybody else had already done before and when I finished watching I was like should have seen that coming, when you see it you'll see what I mean) I don't want to feel to negative here, and discourage you from watching this. If you want to watch this movie, than by all means watch it, but it wasn't add good add I thought.",8
"I had to stop watching this movie about 2/3rds of the way through it. I don't understand why people liked it so much. I found it to be poorly written and poorly acted. I thought Christian Bale's performance was weak and found the dialog to be pedantic and predictable.The character of Bane would be interesting except for the pathetic description of his 'creation.' The 'toys' were pretty good, but that's far beneath what this movie could and should have been. I have enjoyed all (or most) of the other Batman movies but honestly found this one to be unwatchable. I'm astounded by the good rating here because I usually agree with user reviews on IMDb. Live and learn.",3
"Every time I make the mistake of giving a series or film by netflix a chance and every time again it's a waste of my time, as with this film. Unfortunately it's no different with this film, I really don't understand the good reviews.",2
Boring web series Nothing new Character don't know about acting Waste of time Didn't look realistic.,1
"The move felt as if it was made by two different who never met.

It never quite knows what it wants to be. A Disney Chanel kids movie or a gritty super hero movie. It goes from childish to a man throwing people out of a window.

It seems like Shazam and the Billy never actually met in person. They are completely different character. Further more none of the characters feel very enagaging.

The comedy will aloud a few good nose exhales with maybe one or two solid laughs.

It had some solid potential but again it never really knew what it was and felt a bit disjointed.

The CG was also quite lackluster. Shazam went from being physically rigged to smooth when being animated.

I want DC movies to be good. I lower my standards going into a DC movie in hopes that I will come out surprised. I left this fearing even more for the cinematic universe. They just don't have a formula down. People really put their heart into this but, yet again, it's the WB producers that smack down something that could have been great.",5

After all, it was nominated four times, and won all four awards. NOT! Did these people watch the same movie my wife and I did??? Perhaps their humor is significantly different than ours!? Or, the brilliant reviews given now prove to me the world has actually gone mad. I've only walked out of two movies in my entire life. After 45 minutes, my wife asked me if I wanted to leave. And we did! What a freaking disappointment. Don't waste your money! See another movie...",1

If you wanna see some real good mystery Netflix series go watch ""Dark"" because it's way more tense and simply better in every discipline.",5
"The Marvel TV Universe has waxed and waned off late, delivering the astronomical highs of the groundbreaking ""Wanda Vision"" and the ingenious ""Loki"" while suffering from mediocrity in ""The Falcon and the Winter Soldier"" to downright going right into the dumps with ""Hawkeye"". Thankfully Oscar Isaacs's ""Moon Knight"" sees the universe find its stride again with a ground-level psychological thriller that stays true to the Egyptian mythology the core story is based in while delivering Fincher-esque character portrayals and spine-tingling action.

In a story arc that closely follows the comics, we follow the journey of mild-mannered Museum gift-shop clerk Steven (Oscar Isaac) who suffers from regular hallucinations and cannot discern between his waking moments and dreams. As we head deeper into the storyline, we discover that he suffers from dissociative identity disorder, with his body harbouring an alter-ego in the American mercenary ""Marc Spector"" as well as the avatar of the Egyptian God of the Moon (Khonsu) who moonlights as the vengeful vigilante the ""Moon Knight"".

Only a handful of actors have gotten the chance of playing multiple characters in the MCU and most of them have made full use of their second attempts. Be it Chris Evans (initially the Human Torch in ""Fantastic Four (2005)"") as Captain America or Michael B Jordan (originally the Human Torch in ""Fantastic Four (the 2015 reboot)"") as Erik Killmonger in ""Black Panther (2018)"" to most memorably, Ryan Reynolds (originally a tamer, underwritten version of Deadpool in ""X Men Origins: Wolvering (2009)"") as the reimagined foul-mouthed, R-rated ""Deadpool"", these actors who got another chance in the Marvel pantheon have made the most of it. And Oscar Isaac makes a worthy addition to this prodigious list, with a dazzling display of acting range that more than makes up for his disastrous original MCU foray as the caricaturish antagonist ""Apocalypse"" in the ill-fated ""X Men: Apocalypse (2016)"".

Showrunner Mohamed Diab ensured comic-book accuracy while never compromising on narrative zing, weaving a meandering tale of psychological angst, deep-rooted childhood trauma and international intrigue as the episodes move forward at breakneck speed. While the constant switching between Oscar Isaac's multiple personalities is initially jarring, it presents a jigsaw-puzzle like storytelling structure that ensures the audience is constantly engaged in trying to piece together what happened. The Golden Globe-nominated actor proves that he is an absolute chameleon, effortlessly shifting from one personality to another, with not just the accents but the intonations, mannerisms and body language different for each one.

May Calamawy is fierce and flamboyant as ""Layla"", Marc's love interest while Ethan Hawke expectedly dominates every scene he is in as the villainous ""Arthur Harrow"". F. Murray Abraham's mesmeric baritone and witty banter adds layers to the personality of the scheming Egyptian God ""Khonsu"" Anatolia Salib is a hoot as the voice of the bungling Goddess ""Tawaret"". Hesham Nazih's haunting background score adds layers of mysticism and gravitas to the narrative and what the ""Moon Knight"" might lack in sheer scale is more than made up for by the performances on display.

""Moon Knight"" is an eye-catchy entrant to the new darker, broodier and more horror-themed section of Marvel's Phase 4, sure to be accentuated further by the upcoming feature film ""Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness"" as well as the eagerly anticipated reboot of the ""Blade"" franchise which will star Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali in the lead role. With a massive sting in the tail towards the end of the finale episode, the makers leave you in a state of shock and confusion and a deep yearning for Season 2. Cannot wait!",8

"Apart from several moments of juvenile silliness and the kitchy mid 20th century motif, which would never be used by the actual antagonists of the story, this is the most intellectually captivating Marvel production yet -- riding on the shoulders of the skillful performances by Hiddleston & very well cast company.

"""The Menu"" is an absolute letdown, failing to satisfy even the most forgiving of appetites. With its disjointed plot, lackluster performances, and a seemingly never-ending array of tasteless clichés, this film is a forgettable and unpalatable experience that leaves a sour taste in the mouth.

One of the most glaring issues with ""The Menu"" is its convoluted narrative. The story meanders aimlessly, unable to find its focus or maintain any semblance of coherence. It attempts to blend elements of comedy, drama, and suspense, but the result is an indigestible mishmash that confuses rather than entertains. The transitions between scenes are jarring and often leave the audience struggling to make sense of the disjointed storyline.

Adding to the disappointment are the performances from the cast, which range from mediocre to downright cringe-worthy. Even talented actors seem lost and disinterested in their roles, delivering their lines with a lack of conviction that further undermines any hope of emotional connection with the characters. It feels as if the entire cast was phoning in their performances, leaving viewers disengaged and uninvested in the unfolding events.

Moreover, ""The Menu"" heavily relies on tired clichés, rendering the film painfully predictable and devoid of any originality. From the stereotypical characters to the contrived plot twists, it feels like the filmmakers opted for the easiest and most uninspired options at every turn. There is a distinct lack of creativity, leaving audiences with a sense of déjà vu as they endure scene after scene of recycled ideas.

The technical aspects of the film also fall short of expectations. The cinematography is bland and unremarkable, offering no visual flair or innovative techniques to engage the viewer. Even the soundtrack fails to make any impact, with a forgettable score that does little to enhance the viewing experience.

""The Menu"" ultimately leaves audiences unsatisfied, offering nothing more than a bland and unappetizing cinematic experience. Its lack of direction, uninspired performances, and reliance on tired tropes make it a prime example of a film that fails to deliver on its potential. It serves as a stark reminder of how even the most promising concepts can be squandered when executed poorly.

Save your time and money-skip ""The Menu"" and opt for a more fulfilling cinematic experience elsewhere. There are far better films out there that will leave you feeling satisfied, unlike this disappointing dish that leaves a bitter aftertaste.",3
"I've always had some issues with MCU films, but now they're not even entertaining. Oh Raimi, what a letdown. The only thing I really enjoyed were the horror elements and the fact that there was some blood in an MCU film. Nothing else really appealed to me.

The plot was incredibly weak, and the script was full of strange and unexplainable writing decisions. Although there were some interesting shots, such as Dutch angles and POV, the film still felt absurdly long for its two-hour runtime. It was like watching the action jump from one set piece to another in a very forced and unnatural way, while also traveling through some dull universes with a lot of cringe-worthy dialogue. I didn't even understand the point of the entire story for the universe, and even the score - surprisingly composed by Elfman - was generic.

To be honest, I had a lot more fun watching Eternals, Captain Marvel, or Wonder Woman 1984 than this movie.",4
That basically sums it up. This movie is fun but nothing more.,6
We all know that this is an incredible movie adn the greatest sequel but this movie also has the greatest performance of all time in Al PAcino's Micheal . I have never seen any actor use his eyes to such devastating effect the way PAcino does and i have yet to see Pacino ( or any other actor ) better this performance .,10
"I've got so far as Season 3, Episode 5. It started amazingly well. Every episode had me hooked and I wanted to watch more. The storyline was great, dark and psychological, you want to see more. Then Season 3 happened. I don't know why but the style of the episodes has changed. The constant slow motion parts, the dramatic unnecessary music - it's all a little too much. Maybe they got a bigger budget to spend on different shots and effects but sometimes less is more. I'm trying to finish the whole Series but Season 3 isn't living up to 1 and 2 at all for me.",7
"Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a consistently funny and at times utterly hilarious movie. Can't ask for much more than that from a comedy. That the movie has some heart to it is a nice little bonus. Yes the movie is somewhat raunchy but it's also kind of sweet. It's a delicate balance but one which works. Full credit to writer Jason Segel for pulling that off. Of course Segel is not just the movie's writer, he's also the star and his performance provides much of the film's ultimate appeal. He plays Peter Bretter, a composer for a popular CSI-style television show in which his girlfriend, Sarah Marshall, stars. Unfortunately for Peter his carefree, blissful and somewhat sloth-like existence is about to be rudely interrupted. Sarah dumps him. Peter, to put it mildly, does not take the news well. You can't help but feel for the big lug and that's a feeling that stays with you throughout the whole movie. Segel has created a character who is so easy to like. But as much as you like him you can laugh at him too. And as the movie plays out there will certainly be plenty of opportunities to laugh at the expense of poor Peter.

After wallowing in post-breakup grief for a while Peter decides that perhaps a vacation will help him forget Sarah Marshall. So off to Hawaii he goes. Unfortunately it turns out that Sarah is vacationing at the same Hawaiian resort. With her new boyfriend, the pompous, narcissistic British rock star Aldous Snow. Awkward. But this situation is a potential comedy gold mine and hilarity most assuredly will ensue. Segel is great throughout but Russell Brand threatens to steal the show with his portrayal of Aldous. I am not really a fan of Brand at all but there is no denying he is perfect for this role. Mila Kunis has plenty of good moments in playing Rachel, the hotel receptionist who helps Peter break out of his funk. And the likes of Bill Hader, Jack McBrayer, Jonah Hill and Paul Rudd are on hand in smaller roles and each of them is very funny as well. Ironically, given the movie's title, the most forgettable character is Sarah Marshall. Kristen Bell plays the role and there's nothing wrong with her performance. Her character just never seems to get the big comedic moments. She's the straight woman who is largely left to react to all the antics going on around her.

Funny throughout the movie really kicks into high gear near the end. The big climactic scene is rather bizarre but delightfully so. It's a fitting cap to a thoroughly enjoyable movie-watching experience. The movie clocks in at nearly two hours which you might think would be a little long for a movie of this type. But the movie never really drags. The story keeps moving forward and there are plenty of moments of comic genius sprinkled all along the way. It's a movie that has big laughs and big heart. There's also room for some memorable songs which are all performed wonderfully and which provide some of the movie's funniest moments. Everything comes together quite well. This is a movie to remember, one which definitely leaves you with a smile on your face.",8
"I absolutely adore the original story, the inclusion of talented actors who aren't typically seen in Hollywood films, and the stunning special effects. The dark lighting in this movie truly adds to the overall eerie atmosphere, captivating me throughout. In my opinion, this film is a remarkable work of art, and I eagerly anticipate the creation of similar movies in the future.

With its masterful storytelling, exceptional performances, and spine-tingling atmosphere, ""Talk to Me"" sets a new standard for horror movies. The gripping plot explores the ethereal realm with a sense of unease that lingers long after the credits roll. The film's seamless blend of psychological horror and supernatural elements keeps you on the edge of your seat. Prepare yourself for a thrilling and unforgettable cinematic experience that solidifies ""Talk to Me"" as one of the best horror films released to date.",10
"It isn't worth spending time to tell you how bad this movie is. Many guys did it before.

3 types of scenes are following each other repeatedly, for ~130mins! Why? If you see the first 15 mins, you can stop watching, you see the whole movie already. Believe me. You won't see it if you are over 14 years old.",2
"Funny that this is not a murder mystery at all yet still managed to have me on the edge of my seat wondering not WHO done it, but rather, HOW it was done. All the clues are there out in the open. I would go as far to say that they are presented that way for enjoyment. Anyone keen on viewing this film to figure out the big ""mystery"" will pay attention to everything, subtle or blatant. If you do you will be rewarded with the obvious. As obvious as it may be it is still enough make you feel good for following along as close as you did. Even if that is not your cup-o-tea its a wild ride the entire way and well worth it. Id go as far to say that the actual characters are waaaay more interesting than the plot itself.",7
"Knives out seems like unflappable plot; a tested formula in creating a successful suspense film, but it never reaches the height of movies like Murder on the Orient Express. While the icing is still left towards the end, too much of the suspense was gradually peeled away, so did most of the glitter and interest along the way. This type of film, you either leave everything towards the end to be revealed and until then you keep leaving bread crumbs for audiences to pick up, which may take a long time, or you keep revealing plots until the finale, so Rian Johnson was left in a tough spot, and the end product is less than satisfying, not saying he made the wrong decision. A group of interesting characters were created, unfortunately Daniel Craig and Ana de Armas' characters were way too stereotypical and the least interesting of them all. The death of iconic mystery novelist like Harlan deserved a more suspenseful and creative story, but unfortunately in this case, it is less than satisfying.",5
Gangs of Wasseypur is one of the unique movie made in Indian history. I like action movies and this movie is one of most like movie in past times.,10
"I have always seen Black mirror as presenting a near possible implication of the everyday technology as it is evolving. It presented the peak into the future how our lives with evolve with the technology. Season 6 is although very disappointing after such a long wait. First episode has the signature style of Black mirror and was a wonderful example of Gen AI combined with hyper personalization.

However the rest of the episodes feel like some sci-fi out of 1980s mixed with psychological drama. Esp the one with the tapes in the episode 2 that is so not black mirror material. Neither the spaceship and the jealous co pilot.",8
"The Irishman, directed by Martin Scorsese, had me hoping for something extraordinary, given the heavyweight cast, but ultimately fell short of my expectations. The film's pace was slow and the runtime too long, which made it feel sluggish at times. While the acting was exceptional, the storyline failed to make a lasting impression. The film lacked the inventive and unexpected moments that make Scorsese's films so memorable, and there wasn't a scene that stood out as remarkable. Overall, The Irishman did not live up to its potential and is unlikely to be remembered as a cinematic classics.

In conclusion, while The Irishman maybe worth watching for the exceptional performances by its cast, the film's pacing and overall lack of memorable moments make it fall short of Scorsese's other masterpieces.",5
I really enjoyed this movie. Cast is good. Overall this movie is good.,7
"Through the whole movie, we seemed to become the camera man and the non-creative director to follow these two young grunts through the WWI battlefield. There's nothing to tell during the whole trudging journey except constantly looked at these two young men's backs. There's no story to tell at all except at the final stage of the movie, a German pilot shot down by the British soldiers and then the humanitarian Brits tried to save that Nazi pilot, suffered the ""No good deeds gone unpunished"" consequence. Other than that short incident, there's actually nothing whatsoever that worth watching.

Hilariously and so clueless that this deadbeat nothing happened lame movie would have won several Oscars. It only showed to us how worthless the Oscar Award has been, was and will be. We have seen so many lousy, badly directed, badly scripted, badly acted movies won so many Best Movies, Best Directors, Best Actors, Best screenplays and so on from the Oscar awards. It only downgraded the worthiness of this so-called premium movie award value. And this particular movie ""1917"" is the recent proof.",1
Everything is very good in the sacred games #acting #direction #sound etc.watch it guys.,8
"Bad Bangla acsent. They way people talked here in this movie, Bangladeshi people don't talk like this. This movie's bangla acsents are from kolkata. Somewhere it feels like slow dialogue delivery. The Bangladeshi drug lord doesn't look like a drug lord, more like a thief. They should have cast some good Bangla acsent actors. The army, rab etc overacted everywhere. I think they didn't cast because of budget issue.",5
"Nearly unwatchable clap-trap about ""common man"" Reeves caught up in secret struggle between computer-enhanced good and bad guys. The special effects are great, but c'mon, there should be a coherent or compelling plot somewhere. It's ridiculous that this movie is voted (at this writing) as the 30th best film of all time; I must have seen some other movie coincidentally called The Matrix.",4
"The physics are ridiculous, a story is almost non-existent, the characters flat like men's breast. Do you know how I felt watching this movie? Like watching a commercial for an automobile. For 90 minutes... Same slow-motion effects, same shiny (or blinding?) visuals, same desire for destruction.

Acting? Sandra Bullock and George Clooney were just robots from an Asimov book. Their characters seemed like they were programmed to imitate human gestures. And at no moment they seemed to get in touch with reality. Not even with the movie's reality. The whole movie itself is happening on a virtual plane totally detached from reality. You know, in real life the space IS reality, it's part of it. It's not outside reality.

Why people think this is realistic after all that? Maybe they already live an empty virtual life themselves. Of course, from this view the movie is hyper-realistic...

Space is space, nothing is nothing. This movie is not about space, but about nothing. At all.",1
"Ok I loved the story because i've played the games BUT this show didn't have a high enough budget and it shows on costumes (Nilfgaard costumes ---> WTF?) and on some CGI. The dragon was so awful I can't put it in words. Some set pieces were awesome like the scene in Blaviken but others were meh...

Higher Budget in next Seasons and we'll have an awesome series for years!",8
"Daredevil is the most hyped new series of this year and the crazy high ratings in IMDb can led anyone to think this is a masterpiece. The truth is, it's not. This is nothing but a mediocre vigilante show that tries to impress people by having more gore than average MCU shows. Now, I never read the comics but this show felt really flat to me.The story is neither engaging nor great. In fact it felt very forced. The characters were really bland. In fact, the titular character felt nothing more than a nice guy trying to do the right thing from beginning to end. There is absolutely no development for him from beginning to end. He feels too generic. His gang of supposed to be comic relief sidekicks are also nothing more than copy paste character with super corny dialogs and there's little to no development for them.Across the show you will come across gang of unnecessary characters only to have them killed off. But I have to give praise to Vincent D'Onofrio because main antagonist fisk was the best character in the show and a well written one. He has significant development. While storyline from our hero's point of view is too boring, Fisk's pov was great and engaging. Acting was good. Most actors were very professional with their performance.The action was pretty well done although they are nothing but elaborate fight scenes of our hero fighting gang of criminals and kicking there asses while getting his ass kicked sometimes. The cinematography is decent, soundtrack is average.

And if you are someone like me who searches for logic and realism in these things,oh god you are going going to a world of unlimited pain. You won't understand character interactions, motivations. chemistry, goal, physical ability and at the end of every episode you will think, how the hell this guy recover so quickly? In the end, if you are someone like me who has no idea about the comics and are tempted to watch this because of these extra high ratings, don't. You will be disappointed.",5
"Must watch movie.

Motivational movie, acting , direction too good .

Farhan akhtar deserves award for this movie.

Even other characters acted so well such as Divya dutta.",10
"Was I looking forward to see this because as a kid I grew up with Wonder Woman. And watching it in 3D I thought this really was going to be good. But at the end I was left with a bitter feeling. The 3D wasn't special. The story was a bit weird and it was way too long. It reminded me a lot of Batman vs Superman (2016). That flick was also way too long and did had a rare story.

I enjoyed Wonder Woman when the story was told were she grew up. Guess it took the first 20 minutes but suddenly a man comes ashore and he's the first man they ever saw but not only that and from there it's downhill, he brings war with him.

So off goes Wonder Woman to help the soldier in WWI. Really? The effects were good but that doesn't make a flick especially with superheroes. And the fact that love also takes a whole bite throughout Wonder Woman. No, for me this was a disappointment. A bit like Suicide Squad (2016), You've seen the trailers and it all looks stunning until you sit back and watch the movie. The fact that Lynda Carter (the real Wonder Woman) didn't had a cameo made me only eager to see the 1975 series again.

"REVIEW - ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD

UK release date 14 August 19

The director for this film has become very famous for the violence in his films and of course they usually have had quite a good story to hang the violence upon so I had quite a lot of expectation for his latest offering.

30 minutes into the film I actually commented to myself ""what's going on"" because the film follows a group of actors and directors through various periods of their careers, boring.

1 hour into the film I questioned if I was watching the correct film because these various stories continued.

2 hours into the film I was actually nodding off due to sheer boredom!

At the end of the film the violence the director has become famous for but.....

Acting great, story boring, film boring, goes nowhere, doesn't do anything.

Save your money, save your time and go do anything more interesting.

How this is even getting high ratings by others I'll never know because I'm giving this....

Rating 3 out of 10",3
"Steven Soderbergh's now legendary debut was the first his film I saw. It was in 1989, during the Moscow International Film Festival. Only later I found out that Sodebergh was 29 when he wrote the screenplay in eight days during a trip to Los Angeles and made the film for $1.8 million. His independent movie was a real hit that was selected for Cannes Film Festival and won the Palme d'Or and the best actor prize for James Spader.

The film concerns four attractive and intelligent young people. Ann (Andy MacDowell in the best role I've ever seen her) is married to John (Gallagher) but their sexual life is practically non-existent since Ann finds sex over-rated, and to simply put it, she does not enjoy or even need it. John is having an affair with Ann's sexy younger sister, Cynthia (San Giacomo) who seems to resent Ann. Enters Graham (Spader), John's college friend with the unusual hobby of videotaping women while they describe their sexual fantasies and very important skill - he knows how to listen.

I had seen many movies before ""sex, lies and videotape"" and I've seen plenty since but it has a special place in my memory. It was the first film I had seen that dealt with and talked about very intimate topics of sexuality, satisfaction, jealousy, sisters' relationship, marital problems and loyalty, the secret longings in all of us, and the ever mysterious nature of erotic desire with such level of honesty, openness, and intelligence. The writing, the dialogs, and the acting are superb with James Spader and Laura San Giacomo simply outstanding and Andie McDowell very convincing.",9
"This movie was so perfect especially as someone who has grown up with Barbie and was in pure awe of her from birth to the age of 12. I was forced to grow up due to peer pressure when I hit twelve so bye bye Barbie. I always regretted doing that because I wasn't ready to say goodbye but everyone else my age was. It breaks my soul seeing young girls, younger than I was letting go of their childhood so quick, trying to keep up with the older teen trends. It breaks my soul because if I was one of those girls I would be crying for my Barbie while conforming to society. Gloria's speech absolutely rocked my world. I need that tattooed in my brain, Greta is an absolute inspiration to women and girls everywhere. One thing about Barbie is I would not have an education without her. When I started school I refused to do my work unless I was promised a Barbie when I returned home, and it worked. If Barbie had not inspired women so long ago, I would probably not have completed my education as I would have found there to be no point. One thing is that I am sad or is a Barbie movie for one reason only, men will not likely see this. My brother and dad had no interest in even looking at promotion or trailers, there is no way I can get them to see this masterpiece, and they NEED to see this it is so important. If there is one movie that can change the course of history it is this one, as the introduction of Barbie did. I'm so proud and excited for Greta Gerwig and what is to come. As a newly out of school 18 year old my passion is to become a director or an actress, and Greta's work delights me everyday because of Greta, I have a chance. Before Greta's movie, I actually never heard of a female director in film, so it never even came into my head as a possibility before Greta came in. This movie has come at a perfect time for me as I turned 18 last month so this is my kickstart to womanhood, and what a way to start. I ask every woman and girl to watch this and I ask them to drag whichever man in their lives that they can. This movie is the epitome of ""yes"" there are no other words to perfectly signify this. Now, after all the mushy stuff, the humour in this film was perfect, there was never a cringy joke moment unless it was intended that way, and they never put a joke in a bad place. I was slightly worried the album may overshadow the movie, but it was perfect, never took anything away from the movie. Ryan Gosling did a fantastic job because I really believed he was Ken, nothing in me could say ""yeah that's Ryan"". Margot did a superb performance of Barbie, it is hard to play a doll that is perfect yet is experiencing an existential crisis of emotion, she deserves more praise.",10
"I originally rated the series an 8 star after viewing the first three episodes and was eagerly waiting for it to continue. I've since changed to a rating of 4. The show takes a very unfortunate turn and rapidly does a 180. It's as if the writers had only enough comprehensive material to sustain 4 episodes. The erratic, illogical and highly unbelievable plot just spins in circles and seemingly goes nowhere. The acting plummets as well, likable characters once cheered for become irritating and appear lost in an ambiguous plot that turns dreadfully boring. Major letdown in my opinion.",3
"I'm going to keep this short but I just wanted to first say... the film itself is like a 6 out of 10 but from my personal enjoyment its like a 9. This film had everything I needed in it and felt more self aware and less serious. All im going to say is, get drunk with your friends and watch this movie and you will have a great time.",8
"1917 is a film that must be seen in the cinema. The cinematography is where it really excels. The long sweeping shots coupled with some brilliant acting and a great soundtrack mean that this film is a technical masterpiece.

However, the plot is questionable. It feels like many aspects of the story and realism where sacrificed for the technical achievements. Ok, some scenes show a fairly brutal and realistic vision of life in WW1, but we've seen this before and isn't enough for the film to be considered realistic, in my opinion.

Extremely inaccurate weapons. questionable military tactics and odd decisions all let the story down. However, if you can remove your mind from the story-line, the technical skill which has gone into making this film is very enjoyable.",6
"How is this show? It is like a couple of hills. High highs, low lows. One part of the story, isn't awful, with the egyptian background and the different scenes giving a nice atmosphere. The storyline on the other hand, is a bit simple.

So is the main antagonist. Sure he has a goal, which isn't incredibly awful, but from the first two episodes on he goes full stereotypical villain. He acts like a villain, not like a person.

Honestly, the Mark/Steven thing was done really well. I think that was one of the strong points of Moon Knight. Their relationship and all that also well done.

The thing which damaged that a bit, was some of the dialogue. At times you really get into it, but other times gods act like toddlers during a fight.

All in all I would recommend watching it. Binging it would be best. This isn't some masterpiece, but the all around feeling is passable, and quite a few things stick out in quality, making it a worthwhile use of time.",8
"First, props to Wynonna Rider for pulling off the obsessive mom, who dancea on the edge of crazy. I was a kid in the 80s so to watch the Stranger Things kids behave like I did and the attention to 80s detail the director made it like they were born in that era, even though they weren't, was pretty incredible. If you think about it, Drew Barrymore was a child in E.T. which was set in the 80s but was current time back then. The team did a fantastic job making Stranger Things feel like a modern-day 80s series.",9
"This is by far the weirdest film I have ever seen. The storyline is original, the acting is there and the dialogue is fine. However the ending leaves you with alot of questions and can keep you up at night wondering what the hell you just watched. I'm trying to figure out what this film really means. Maybe self love? Maybe finding your trueself? Whatever the meaning or if there even is one I don't understand the high rating. However if you like movies that end being open for interpretation this is something you will enjoy.",5
"Everything about this movie is so mindbogglingly stupid. I was laughing through all of the ""dramatic"" scenes. One of my favorite things about the first two movies was how everything was explained and made sense. The effects in this movie look worse than the last one. The villain is kinda dumb, and so is his plan. The acting is good, but the plot is stupid. Even my cat got up and left halfway though. (My cat likes watching movies with me. She thought that the second movie was better - she sat through the whole thing.) This movie is just stupid and bordering on incoherent. I can't recommend this thing to anyone.",4
"Not words you generally associate with a Hindi film. And especially not if there is patriotism at it's core. But, this one is good. Vicky Kaushal is amazing - in fact every person in the star cast is very very apt and good.",9
"After Season 1 I was really hooked and couldn't wait for second season. I tried to read books but they were horrible. However Season 1 brought the best out of the book and really made impression. Season 2 is a huge letdown - nothing happens except actress strolling in nice dresses, it feels like costume party and I could really feel that the author made the series just to justify her obsession with costume drama. Huge letdown !",4
"I saw this movie yesterday and I must say...this is one of the best movies I've seen in years! I had really high expectations from this movie...and although I'm not a huge fan of Shahrukh...this movie surpassed all my expectations. It really makes all of us NRI's who have left the country for a better future to think. The newcomer Gayatri Joshi has acted very well...she's definitely a new star on the rise. The romantic scenes between Shahrukh and Gayatri have been written very well and I loved them. They portray innocent love...something diminished in bollywood movies due to all the vulgar item numbers and ugly, non-desirable sex scenes. In short...Ashutosh Gowarikar has lived up to his expectations and created another masterpiece. One of the must-see and classic movies of the year...and great acting by Shahrukh...restored my faith in his capabilities which was diminishing due to movies like main Hoon Naa.",10
"Mistake #1. Replacing Terrance Howard with Don Cheadle. While Cheadle is a very good actor, he does not fit this part, not to mention the loss of the effective interaction between Howard's ""Rhodey"" and Tony Stark. Cheadle's ""Rhodey"" just didn't work. Mistake #2. Then there was the ridiculous addition of Scarlett Johansson as Natasha ""Black Widow"" Romanoff. How about an actor that could have really pulled it off, like Summer Glau. She has the body, the look and the skills to have made you go ""WELL"". And 'good Lord', Mickey Rourke. Why don't someone take that guy to see a doctor, or a group of them. Psychiatrist/Dermatologist/Plastic Surgeon, in that order.",5
"I don't know what happened, but the sci-fi element, the existential subtext, THE reason black mirror was so profound, is lacking in season 6. Who thought it was ok to do pedestrian stories? None of these, even the meta meta attempt to warn against AI, hit the mark. The show used to push the eerily gray conversation of what it meant to BE in a world of technology, but season 6 is just Shyamalan doing his rendition of twilight zone.

I'm a long time fan of Black Mirror. The gems in the earlier seasons were complex, nuanced and full of ideas that pushed and tugged on world views and the concept of self. The terror and fascination held me in awe of what could be. It was a way to show the possibilities and consequences of our humanity, told in an exquisitely personal way. I still get chills watching The Entire History of You, White Christmas, White Bear, Playtest, and San Junipero. The Netflix seasons have taken a noticeably curt interpretation of what the series represents. And I know they don't like to do more than 3 seasons of stuff, but if you are don't skimp. Don't hamper the goodwill and impact because you don't want to invest in qualitative oversight.

Down from a 10 to an 8.",8
"Save your time. This show is heavy handed with the Political Correctness and Anti-Christian bigotry. If your bored out of your mind watch something good, Band of Brothers, Game of Thrones, Sesame Street even, don't waste your time with the Mad Liberals of the Boys. It is puke worthy in it's graphic nature, both for gore and over the top sensuality often combined into a cringe worthy remembrance of 80's and 90's get naked before you get dead brands. If you're a hard corps democrat it's probably right up your alley, knock yourself out. You will be drooling over it with out a doubt. Every one with a moral compass take a hard pass.",1

"Ok, well... What can I say about this.. The story could have been wrapped up in about an hour or less. Most of it is filler and needless transitions. All the parents are selfish, irresponsible and useless. All the adults are really weak and incompetent.

The two female cops are more interested in focusing on the fact that they are in a relationship, than actually doing police work. The fact that they are together has no real purpose to the story, except to keep reminding the viewer.

The two leads are well acted, but ultimately come off as just troubled, bratty easily bored kids. Forgettable characters once it is all over.

The percentage of actual dialog and substance is a bit unnerving and exhausting. The director has an incessant need to have, what can only be described as, the worst mix tape from h*ll going on and on and on. Spent much of the time fast forwarding. to the next dialog event.

More story and action, less music transitions. Horrible. If you want to check it out, by all means. I've seen music videos with more of back story and better songs in less than five minutes.

What to expect? 10% actual story line - 10% useless filler - 80% horrible, irrelevant music transitions. You decide. The sad thing is there could be a season two. I hope not. Maybe there is another mix tape waiting in the wings. Yikes! What a waste.",1
"If the 2 seasons that are nominated to be the best series are so eye-catching. The gaps for this should be filled perfectly, I hope it continues perfectly.",9
"Bhaag Milkha Bhaag works for two basic reasons. One it is based on the story of a sports person whose personal life is dramatic enough to keep you engaged apart from its racing track achievements and second it is played by Farhan Akhtar who plays his role as if he is really Milkha Singh himself. Farhan Akhtar excels playing Milkha Singh like Ben Kingsley excelled playing Gandhi. Farhan Akhtar seems to be enjoying every bit of the movie. When he runs, he runs like a tiger. When he dances, he dances like a pure Punjabi. When he loves, he loves with innocence and passion. Farhan Akhtar can easily be given all best actor awards of 2013. All supporting actors give their best. Divya Dutta is excellent, Sonam Kapoor looks fresh, Pawan Malhotra and Parkash Raj's performance are heartwarming. Music by Shankar Ehsaan Loy is first rate and awe inspiring. Rakeyesh Omprakash Mehra like an expert captain provides movie its uniqueness, technical perfection, soul and purpose. Like an every fantastic experience, this also comes with its dull moments. Movie takes around extra half an hour before reaching to its finale. Rangrezz song could have been avoided and prolonged sequences of Milkha's achievements could have been shortened. Dilip Tahil playing Pandit Nehru looks like a missed stroke. At the end, you can safely say, you had a great time running with Farhan Akhtar for more than 3 hours. Run to your nearest theater now to watch this powerful biopic.",8

"I guess if they postpone season 5 for as long as the forthcoming season 4 we get ""Stranger Things.... now WITH babies"". Since the once small cuties are pretty much adult now. Or maybe a remake? That's cool. Apart from my cynism for the franchise (which 11 year old from the 80s had a poster of The Thing on his wall? Everyone had E. T.), I enjoyed season 1 and somewhat season 2 for what it was. A fun backlash to 80s small time horrorville, with likable Goonies-kids, and a very special girl in Eleven. Nevermind Wynona Rider is still a terrible actress, now a trademark hysterical mom who likes tinfoil. It delivers. But things go downhill in season 3, a thung in cheek cash-in on the first 2 seasons, with the same story again. Stranger Things is now a theme park ride with no surprises along the way, and not much character development to write home about. It's still Men in Black in search for Eleven, with strange, slimy thingys from Downside world also hot on her heels.",5

"(Updated after Season 6).

A series of independent stories, all centred around technology. Is it a help or a hindrance?

Brilliant series, created and written by English comedian and social commentator Charlie Brooker. Highly original in its concept - examining possible technological advances, and seeing how these could be used, or abused, and how they can help us, or be the bane of our existence. Set at an everyday person level (mostly), so is highly engaging.

Plots are very intriguing and entertaining, drawing you in and keeping you locked in until the end. Often part of the intrigue is figuring out the innovation depicted in the episode and how it works.

In many of the earlier episodes, Brooker was happy to just make the revelation of the innovation the punchline, and then just let the episode run its course from there. These were not bad episodes - the are no bad episodes (the worst score I gave to an individual episode was 7/10) - but did leave me a bit disappointed. I kept thinking this series was going to be like Alfred Hitchcock in the 21st (or 22nd) century and the lack of a great twist towards the end or powerful conclusion made me wonder what all the fuss was about.

However, with time Brooker's writing got better - grittier, more daring, more profound. He found his formula and pushed the envelope in terms of his creativity. While S2 E2 - White Bear - was the first episode I gave a 10/10 to, it was really only from Season 3 (starting with the brilliant Christmas special between S2 and S3 - White Christmas) where the series consistently delivered a punchiness to its endings. S3 E1 - Nosedive - was one of the scariest and depressing imaginings of future social interaction I've ever seen...and it was 100% plausible.

Things then went from strength to strength. The pinnacle, for me, was S3 E6 - Hated In The Nation. A murder mystery combined with highly plausible technology, engaging, well-developed characters (well portrayed too) and a big swipe at social media and the types of people who inhabit it. You're forced to think about your own moral view on issues, while not being lectured as to what is the ""correct"" choice. Brilliant episode.

Many aspects of the series give a damning, and quite relevant, view on society, and possibly where it is heading. It's not all doom and gloom though - there are some episodes that are quite upbeat, even romantic (San Junipero, Hang the DJ) and in S4 E1 - USS Callister - Brooker makes use of his considerable comedic talent to deliver an episode that is wonderfully funny yet grippingly thrilling and action-filled.

Season 5 is a bit of a disappointment though. The plots are much more mainstream and less cerebral. There's flashes of the old Black Mirror but Brooker never really rams the point home or provides something profound. Very entertaining and still highly plausible but not of the same quality as the previous seasons.

Season 6 was a surprise in that followed more than four years after Season 5 and most people, including myself, thought the show had finished. It follows largely in the same vein as Season 5. Episode 1 was more like the old Black Mirror but three of the five episodes are more horror-thriller orientated than the clever sci fi stuff of Black Mirror in its prime. All the episodes are still entertaining but, for the most part, the clever futurism of the earlier seasons has gone.

Season ratings: S1-4 9.5/10, S5 8/10, S6 7/10.",9

"Jun Ji-hyun, in a career-defining performance, shines brightly as the unpredictable, vivacious dynamo of a girl. She zips through the screen and into our hearts as a slightly unhinged girlfriend, prone to extreme mood swings and mildly sociopathic behaviour. At the receiving end of her wrath, and affections, is Gyeon-woo, the hapless boyfriend. Played by Cha Tae-hyun in his feature film debut, Gyeon-woo is a perfectly ordinary college guy, who struggles with motivation and aimlessness. Nonetheless, he is a guy with no malicious intent in his heart, and Tae-hyun turns the 'lovable loser' stereotype into his favour, by imbibing Gyeon-woo with deep empathy, emotional intelligence and awareness. He becomes the perfect foil to Ji-hyun's fiery and energetic Girl. I did not realise the runtime was over 2 hours, because time seemed to fly by as I laughed at their antics, cried at their sorrows, and learned from their journey. The Girl who needs to move past loss and tragedy; and the Boy who needs to learn real responsibility, these are people who need help, and finds some of what they need in each other. Even with our 2020 sensibilities and how relationships should be and how men and women must treat each other, the movie gets most things right; the most important of which is the journey of falling in love together, with competing feelings within and the pressures of the society outside weighing on them. I cannot write more, or write better about thins movie, because I feel my thinking and writing skills haven't caught up with my emotions yet. Apologies, dear reader. I can only recommend you, very strongly, that you watch it. Preferably with your Significant Other.

Direction 8 Acting 8.5 Story 8.5 Music 7.5 RATING 8/10 Stray Observations This was the second time Jun Ji-hyun and Cha Tae-hyun courted each other, with the first time coming in the 1999 ensemble drama series ""Happy Together"". Many of their co-stars would also become huge Hallyu (Korean wave) stars later. The parody movie segments were excellently done and funny. Koreans did Meta long before we knew it. Ji-hyun and Tae-hyun would reunite onscreen 15 years later for ""Legend of the Blue Sea"", in which Tae-hyun has a cameo as conman trying to swindle Ji-hyun's character near the Han River. Sadly, it's only for 4 minutes, but let me tell you, in those four minutes, and with Ji-hyun having minimal dialogue, they still have more chemistry than between Ji-Hyun and Lee Min-ho, who plays the male lead. Tae-hyun did a sequel, called ""My New Sassy Girl"" in the same year, which I shall consider to not exist.",8

"Do not watch it coz every next guy/girl is talking about this. If 1st 2mins of the series does not engage you it is pretty clear this is something you will not enjoy. Characters are written well and actors live up to the expectation. Don here is not what you expect to be, very rich or powerful or macho types. Gaitonde even with his aspiration to rule Bombay is struggling with emotions and decisions which creates twists in his life.",9
"The Menu has an interesting premise but it fails to deliver.

It starts off well and delivers a suitable suspense and foreboding that builds nicely at the start but it really doesn't go anywhere.

Fiennes and Taylor-Joy are great and do most of the heavy lifting and the rest of the cast is somewhat dull and in fact most have few lines.

The script is the a big problem, without giving anything away, the characters seems to just accept their fate with little concern or resistance, maybe it is brilliant satire and a commentary on the world today.

The ending is unfulfilling. It lacks any surprises or plot twists and at times is quite slow listening to Chef Slowik monologues.

There were so many missed opportunities and hints at what could be going to happen but nope, just all fairly slow and boring.",2
"I'm a huge fan of QT! However, this movie really did not do anything for me. Watching people get up and leave the theatre was pretty much the high point. I never took that route, I decided to hang in there thinking it's going to pick up, because it's QT! It didn't...

Movie was way too long. I get the whole idea QT trying to get the vibe of the 60's etc, but it was overkill. My 25yr old nephew had no idea to the references and kept questioning.. why? There were some sparks of great acting, and overall Brad Pitt was great! Leonardo had a few very good scenes, and you could see how great of an actor he really is. But the build up to these scenes was an 1.5 hrs too long of a wait to get there.

Climax was pure QT! Loved it!

In the end, I was kind of bummed out (no pun intended)",4
"I felt compelled to write a review of this Netflix show after a fair amount of hype surrounding it. After seeing the trailer I thought ""that looks good"" and immediately added it to my list ready for when it was released. That's where the excitement ended for me. I got as far as episode 6 and finally gave up on it. It felt like such a chore to watch! This is supposed to be about super heroes but they don't do anything super or heroic! I had no empathy for any of the characters and they were so cliche and predictable. I fully agree with the other reviews regarding Ellen Page as she is so vacuous and just wanders from scene to scene looking bored and uninterested. Thankfully I've found better things to watch than this",1
"Karl Urban is NOT British, and if he's trying to do an English accent he's failing miserably. The man's Antipodean, and it really comes across.

"This show was my favorite as a kid. I have only watched it twice since its original release (over 10 years ago). Now as a 20 year old, I can appreciate many of the complexities of the story that I didn't quite grasp as a kid. The thing is, as a kid, the show was funny and action-packed enough to keep me entertained. But as an adult, the show is well written, and deep enough to keep me hooked.

I must admit i'm a sucker for a good fantasy story, enjoying stories like Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. This, however, is (in my opinion) the perfect mix of comedy, story/world building, and action. It is great for all ages, and gets a 10/10 from me for all those reasons AND its amazing rewatchability. Each time you rewatch it, you'll pick up on small details and foreshadowing that you didn't notice on the first few times you watched the show.

This show is a perfect mix of all things that make a fun and entertaining show. It's a kids show but I guarantee you will not be sorry watching this no matter your age.",10
"This film is a fine, fine, piece of cinema from a couple of the neatest, slickest and most original directors in the business. Only one thing stops it from claiming its rightful place among the industry's finest - that makes it a great film rather than a classic film - and that's that it's too damn short! Admittedly, it doesn't cut you off with the same degree of frustrating incompletion that, say, 'Unbreakable' does, but to compare the two films at all would be insulting to the Coens. All the same though, the style and quality of the film just makes its brevity all the worse. Frances McDormand turns in one of the finest acting performances of recent years as the just-too-damn-smart detective, and the whole film is staged superbly - the Coen brothers' creation of a very dark movie in a very white setting is slick to the point of arty, but engaging enough to become too over-indulgently picturesque. The film is neat, clipped and wonderfully aesthetic. The comedy is as dark as it comes, but all the same entertaining - you find yourself laughing out loud at stuff you might feel you really shouldn't; it's more of an atmosphere of set-piece humour at times in the film, rather than anything deliberately comic about the script. So hey, maybe I'm being slightly picky about criticising the abrupt end to the film. Maybe it shouldn't really be any longer - perhaps to be longer would be to be make 'Fargo' less well-formed, and that would be unforgivable. I suppose it's just a personal thing - as a tragic product of the MTV generation I was hoping for a more dramatic ending, though the classic 'disposal' scene certainly added a certain uniqueness to the film, though it would be shame if such a fine work were to be remembered for just a woodchipper. Again coming from an MTV-generation point of view, I suppose the one thing this film lacks is a feeling of suspense, an adrenalin rush of some kind. But then a film doesn't need that sort of thrill factor to be good. This is not a film you see if you want the kind of high-octane entertainment that, say, 'Bad Boys' or 'Terminator' will supply. Having said that, I can think of few people who would crack open the beers and watch 'Schindler's List' with a pizza - this is a film treat, an artistic, phenomenally slick and polished work with a well-picked, select cast that features not a single wooden line, and along with McDormand's masterful performance there are fine roles by Buscemi and Macy as the cuss-filled crook and the chirpy-to-the-point-of-irritating loser car salesman who hires him. A great lesson in how to make a film - the plot is very simple, but the way it unravels, as well as the style of the piece as a whole, make Fargo a winner. Watch with a glass of something warming, while in a contemplative, patient mood for best results.",7
"I am a bit confused why this show is this high, the only plausible explanation I could come up with is that the bar this year was so incredibly low this show shines in comparison. Or I'm simply too old as I can imagine I would have enjoyed it way better if I was 14 or something. I am a bit tired that I have to shut down my brain completely to enjoy things thanks to horrible writing.

With little changes this could have been made a way better show: 1. It has literally nothing common with the original Adams Family neither in spirit or characters besides the names.

2. Many of the cast is simply utterly boring, uninteresting and do nothing for the story. It could have been simply avoided if multiple characters would have been moulded into fewer, but due to this more complex ones. Or left out completely.

3. I know most shows are made for ""modern audiences"" and in spirit I agree, but... I would have left Wednesday either asexual or at the very least her suitors could have been at least a tiny bit competent and a bit more masculine in general. My wife pointed it out to me that if Wednesday was played by a male, the barista and the painter guy would have been played by females with the exact same lines and manner it would have made a lot more sense. After imagining an watching it with this perspective I had to 100% agree. I am assuming the writers could not write male roles.

4. I know in the first point I already raised it as a concern that the original IP was not really used in any manner, but this iteration of Gomez and Morticia was pretty horrible especially if I compare it to the wholesome original.

5. The plot did not really do anything smart most of the story was outright dumb and the visions invalidated any effort in the entire movie. Everything was falling into Wednesday's lap literally.

6. Wednesday's character did have some flaws that was called out on, but she was a bit too Mary Sue still. I am not sure why did they have to include so many things into the character. She is smart, bilingual, plays an instrument, brave, crafty and have the goth thing too with vision superpowers. Why does she have to be a character who stands up against bullying, karate chops multiple twice her size guys, repairs coffee machines and so on. It is again the typical case when they cram everything in... Most of the fight scenes operate with fast cuts at least so it is not actually shown how stupid it is. Why does a mystery/horror show need these???

7. They went to an academy where we have literally no idea what do they do. I can't be the only one wondering what the hell they are doing there. They go to a single class about botany with a single teacher and they have a headmaster. Oh and they fence I guess and there was a teacher there too probably... Why was this added as a setting?

8. They named l supernatural creatures ""outcasts"" and yet they are literally not casted out. They fit into both society and form perfectly functional social groups too. A very cringe choice of word.

Just to say some positive things: 1. The cinematography is great 2. The costumes are very good 3. The animations are believable and good for a show like this 4. I think the actors did a very good job too 5. The story is generally somewhat interesting (despite the horrible writing)",6
"Although the eye candy is delicious, this movie is more far-fetched than a James Bond flick. Just because it has a star line-up, doesn't mean the film has content that qualifies for the Academy Awards. Many people criticize the Oscars, and this is a first for me to say that this nomination was a mistake. Don't get me wrong...Gravity was entertaining, and kudos to the CGI people, but that's where it ends. The film's big problem is leading the viewer to believe that this could happen based on facts and science. The acting was adequate and the director was able to transfer emotion and circumstance to the viewer fairly well. Instead of miraculous survival, the film should have focused on how one faces certain death.",6
"This was the first of 6 Netflix Marvel shows, one of the two that ran the longest(the other being Jessica Jones), and among the most successful. They share continuity, and all of them both build to, and later reflect on, The Defenders. All of them are about gritty street level heroes in different parts of New York, dealing with the aftermath of The Avengers. For some reason that I've yet to uncover, apparently there was a mandate that each of these had to have 13 episodes. Ultimately, there were two seasons that didn't. One had 10 and another was as low as 8. I really wish one of those had been the norm, because both of those are substantially better paced than the rest of these. With that said, this fares the best of the ""full"" baker's dozen ones. The initial one is focused on the gradual progress made in combating or increasing organized crime, respectively, for the two sides involved. The second has a lot(overall, too much) going on. And the final one dives deep into certain aspects and I respectfully disagree with those who say that some of it is excessive. Editing is impressive, never letting us be confused, despite how complex it gets. On a number of occasions, it is necessary to jump chronologically, especially back to the past, sometimes by decades. And I never felt like they were doing it to avoid delivering on the present-day stuff, or that it was filler, as I did, on both, with Lost.

This has what may well be the very best villain of one of these, in Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin. He has a tragic backstory and he does legitimately believe that he is making Hell's Kitchen better - not worse. His goals are admirable, however, his methods are monstrous. You come to really understand why he does what he does. The immensely talented Vincent D'onofrio plays him as if he is somewhere on the spectrum, which is unexpected, yet a very clever idea. He's damaged, a boy in the body of a man, trying to force a round peg into a square hole, to make things work and make sense. Simultaneously sympathetic and terrifying.

In general the character work is strong. Given the situation of Matt Murdock / Daredevil(Cox, disarmingly charming, flirts with everyone), it is very important what people are close to him, how they affect him, what direction they push or pull him. And in the interest of making this more compelling, some of the people are good for him, and others are bad. His fellow lawyer Foggy(Henson, more than comic relief) shares his faith that the legal system might actually be enough to keep people safe. Keeping their office looking like less of a mess is Karen(Ann Woll, driven). Far from ""the girlfriend"", damsel in distress that we've grown so tired of in movies that came out before this premiered, no matter how dangerous the situation, she will actually try to maneuver herself out of it rather than just wait and hope. Nurse Claire(Dawson, incredible as always) can provide the perspective of someone working in a hospital seeing people hurt - some by the vigilante, others by people he didn't attack. Is he making a difference?

Catholicism is a major theme here. Exploring questions like ""does everyone deserve a second chance"". Challenging the moral principle of refusing to kill, since that's a mortal sin. Frank Castle(Bernthal, intense), The Punisher, asks ""If you only beat criminals to a pulp, won't they just go back and do something awful when they recover? Wouldn't lethal force solve the problem forever?"" Then Elektra(Yung, toying with people) shows up to point out, ""honestly, might it be... fun? Isn't that why he indulges in the first place? After all, isn't he only telling himself that he's ""doing it for God"" to feel better about letting the devil out?"" She demonstrates living without boundaries, potentially luring him all the way out there. This doesn't preach to you.

In order to properly explore these notions it is important that we have a visceral reaction, and we do, to all of the bloody, brutal, bone breaking fights. People fight dirty, they get hurt even if they win, and he may be outnumbered. Each year has its own several minutes long take, the fact that it just keeps going really places you right there, in the middle of it. The hero will get increasingly worn down and exhausted, and we worry that he won't be able to come out on top, that he will simply collapse from all the effort. The cinematography will either make it extremely clear and easy to follow, or artistic and memorable looking, with silhouette martial arts, staying on the reaction(or lack thereof) by someone who doesn't become involved, and Brian de Palma style extensive panning.

That segues nicely into the budget. It is easy to see that this did not have as much money behind it as the MCU movies, or even some of the Disney Plus streaming shows that came after this. They did make sure that all they had ended up on the screen. The action here is never as big or frequent as in those. In some ways this more resembles Law & order, CSI, NCIS. With that said, it's always excellent. There is very little CGI and some cost-cutting measures are visible - if someone has to break into a place by smashing a window, maybe we'll just hear the sound, and see the glass already broken. The other effects are very nicely done: squibs and wounds. It was always convincing. I never found myself being pulled out of the fiction, the way that I was at least once on the Blade TV series.

This features moderate to strong language and sexuality, used to display and develop characters and their interpersonal relationships. I recommend this to any fan of comic book adaptations, as it is one of the best by far. 8/10.",8

"This movie is an embarrassingly bad attempt at making a cheap knock off of a guy Ritchie type multi storied movie. It's cringeworthly acted, abysmally directed and unnecessarily stretched. It's the kind of movie you leave a theatre midway not caring for your money, popcorn or at times your loved one. The entire cast except at times Rajkumar is crass. The characters are unnecessarily put in. Story is dragging to make up for 2 hours 40 minutes of on-screen time. An yes, it's littered with baseless songs and dramatic sequences.

Watch it at your own peril. It will sure make your senses numb.",2

A cleaner at the facility, Elisa Esposito, played by Sally Hawkins, who is mute, connects with the creature and because he is being badly treated arranges for his escape. He stays in her apartment and they fall in love.

This was winner of Best Film at this years Oscars so it must be good right. Well yes and no. The film does look fantastic, just beautifully shot throughout, and the performances by the main characters is excellent but...well it just did not do it for me.

I actually watched this films in 2 parts. I started watching it and after half an hour was just not enjoying it switched it off. It is a rental Blu-Ray, so the next day, to get my moneys worth, I decided to give it a second chance starting from where I had finished. It grabbed me a bit more this time and I watched it to the end.

I can see why some people love this film and rate it highly. Beautifully shot as I said, good performances, and a nice story. But the dark fantasy vibe that the film is wrapped up in did not work for me and I found it slow and a bit boring.

Only watch if you are a Guillermo del Toro fan, or lover of this style of film.",2
"Overall the reality is depicted in the film with excellent direction, starcast,songs and much more.

Reality of slums and the struggle they face everyday in order to live.",10
"It was funny, gorgeously done and challenged people's view points which is a lot done for a movie made by a toy company. I found myself laughing and tearing up at certain points. I was in awe while watching it in the theaters for the attention to detail on props. It's insane how well made it is.

SPOILERS ISH ?? My only critique is the ending for the kens. We sympathise with them throughout the movie and the message is about equal rights for women. But feminism is about equal rights for everyone! Ken's deserve their freedom too. However it definitely did the job of making men step out of their comfort zone and understanding what it's really like to be a woman.",8
"I was greatly disappointed by `Lost in Translation'. I've been in the situation that Bill Murray's character finds himself in: at a loose end in a foreign country. The film captures the sense of alienation and time passing so slowly it seems stuck. It also nicely portrays Murray's character reaching out to Charlotte, the young woman who he meets in his hotel.

However, I was disappointed by the film for two reasons. The first is that it has stunning photography of Tokyo and Kyoto but it views Japan like the two main characters do: through their hotel window. Even when they visit restaurants or night-clubs or in Charlotte's case, temples, the characters do not engage in their surroundings. They treat them as a substandard theme park or theme restaurant, poke fun at them and make fun of the people in them. They even poke fun at the doctors and staff in the hospital. (And what was wrong with Charlotte's foot? We were never told if her toe was broken or bruised although she was seen with a bandage on it.) I can see that Murray's character is there just for the money but Charlotte takes the time to visit temples and Buddhist sites so supposedly she has some interest in Japanese culture. The audience doesn't see much of it. The audience doesn't see much of the friends she has of Japan either.

All of the Japanese - even the friends that Charlotte visits - are shown as laughable. Even if they don't speak bad English the audience is still encouraged to chuckle at them.

I can see why some people would call the movie racist for this reason. But to be fair, all of the people in this movie are shallow. Especially Charlotte. She says that her husband thinks she is a snob because she sneers at the movie star and the LA scene. Charlotte doesn't show much more depth than the blond vapid film star: the blond vapid film star actually says more interesting things that Charlotte does. Charlotte doesn't open a book once during the whole movie and doesn't say anything with any insight.

It is because of this emptiness that I found the film so disappointing. The expression that Murray has on his face when Charlotte leaves the lobby at the end is moving, and so is the final scene. But the film didn't make me like either character. I could feel their loneliness and their culture shock but I didn't have much sympathy for either one of them. Stuck in Tokyo in a top class hotel for a whole week with what looks like an endless amount of cash to spend -- poor them! If I were in their shoes I wouldn't spend that much time in the hotel: I would get out and try to see Tokyo and try to speak openly to the people I met even if they couldn't speak English well. And I would want to see a museum or two. Or a manga store. Murray and Charlotte don't even go shopping.

I would love to know what the Japanese think of this movie. The photography is stunning, but many of the Viewmaster slides I had when I was young also had beautiful pictures of Tokyo and Japan. They showed more about the culture and more respect for the culture too.

I would have loved it if before the end of the movie Godzilla stormed the Tokyo Hilton and squashed Bill Murray and Charlotte and all other smug characters who made fun of the Japanese to a pulp.

I will say one thing in the film's favour: it didn't have any jokes about the food the Japanese eat. But I guess people have grown tired of jokes about sushi and all the food in Japan having suckers on it when every large city in the West has at least one hip sushi bar.",6
"I'm sorry, I made a mistake! After reading a lot of the prior reviews, I rated it too highly! I love Pesci, used to love Bobby, but he's ruined that with his political BS. This flick was a rehash (including the musical beat) by Scorsese trying to field goal another Goodfellas. But he couldn't do it this time. His mum wasn't there to help out. No more crap for the sake of making a couple of bucks Martin. Stop while you're ahead, or were ahead.",2
"Very disappointed in this movie, thought it would be good, but to me it was just a run of the mill thriller, which was more concerned to produce thrills and violence than play around and delve into a very interesting theme. It makes me quite sad to see this movie is one of the highest ranking movies, it shows the mindless thrills that the general public have come to believe is what a good movie is all about; the movie was like this because that's what the people want. Could have been really interesting, could have been so many things, but the movie seemed more interested in trying to get as many shootings and face punching as possible. It seems nearly all popular movies have to have these ingredients or they can not be popular, sad.",4
"Sick of seeing a source of media completely destroy a movie that doesn't deserve it, while also praising crap like Netflix Originals. Bottom line, this movie is stellar.

Sure its a bit goofy, which I found to work steadily, sure its a little conventional, but I came to see a good movie. I walked in expecting a blahzay, cringey movie, but it was dope.

The action, the dialogue, the dynamic between Venom and Brock was awesome. The movie had a 2000s feel to it with all the polish of the modern flicks of late. Sure its not as universally awesome as Endgame or a movie like Logan, but its a very true to form comic book movie. I love to hate on movies but this one is getting bashed for no reason. It does what its meant to do and does it well.",7
"...which were not met. As a standalone movie useless. Effects you have seen dozens of times and a dozen of years ago, the story itself is just horribly conveyed - I do not know any previous history let alone comics about the character, granted that. But the whole thing would really only make sense as a mediocre attempt for a first installation, in order to set ground rules for future sequels that would then - hopefully - make more sense of this symbiosis and its treats as an addition to some superhero/anti-hero verse. On its own, to me, disappointing story-wise. After the show, the same nagging feeling you have with a first season being too short of episodes on top, that leave you frustrated with the revelation to be dependent on general reception / quota if there will ever be a season 2. This is not what cinema is supposed to be. 4 stars simply for the popcorn element, but I am really inclined to rather 3 for the disappointment in general.",4

"Really enjoyed the first Knives Out but this one was overly complicated from the start. It was too focused on comments about recent events and was far too long to be able to follow.

Daniel Craig was brilliant and some funny moments with great actors, each individually well acted and quite entertaining.

Just a shame as it was too complex and overall disappointing when it had some good potential, even from the start I couldn't get into it.

Felt like if a bit more time and effort had been put into it and it had been cut by about an hour it would have been entertaining but was really disappointing unfortunately.",4
"From the amount of praise I saw this film get on Twitter I was rather shocked at how painfully average this film was. The parts I enjoyed the most was the performance given by John Malkovich and the shock value of some deaths. But at the end of the day this is just another addition to the graveyard of terrible Netflix original films. I have only seen a few Netflix films which I have been glad I had seen. Every other part of this film was serviceable or at times laughable. If you are bored out of your mind and need something to watch stick this on or simply just want to see the random praise this film got check it out, but all in all find something better to watch.",5
"I absolutely love this show. Only reason I did not give 10 stars is that I did not want it to end! I feel like they could have tied up a few loose ends , like with Gerber. The acting was really superb. Great chemistry with Teresa Palmer and Matthew Goode. She has great acting skills with her facial expressions. I found myself falling in love with Matthew right along with her lol. Now I am watching the series again and waiting for my books to arrive as I want to learn more about the characters.",9
"Here we go, prime example of overrated, or exagarated reviews. It was so obvious it was going to get 10's even if it had 1 Actor walking to the moon it would of still got 10's.

To me personally, except for the Dragon it did not feel like GOT, no likeable characters except maybe the lead, boring / Dull story.

This felt more like a Spartacus reboot than Got, especially the brothel scenes.

The main characters look as though they should be in The Witcher.

This being said, my realistic score is 6/10 hope it becomes more interesting in the weeks to come.

Infact, first episode has made me believe that Rings of Power is going to smash this.",6
"I tried to enjoy it, but I didn't find much to enjoy myself. The character who gets accidentally embroiled in the situation is the most interesting thing in this movie. I'd rather follow him than the mumbling lead.

The other characters are barely memorable, plot is incredibly so-so. An extra star awarded for Johnny Depp being in something that isn't made by Tim Burton, even if his screen time in this instalment was barely a minute long.

Check it out, a lot of people like it, maybe I wasn't really ready for it or had Harry Potter on my mind but for me it was simply ""meh"". Not overtly bad but not overtly good either.",6
"I've watched a lot of sitcoms, but this is one of those that I just can't get into. I can't figure out what's so appealing about this show, why everybody likes it so well. I just don't get what's so funny. I'm lucky if I crack a smile once in an episode, much less actually laugh. So why is it so funny? And why are all the carachters completely retarded? I can't stand those guys... Buster, Job, and Tobias. They're really annoying. The one part about this show that redeems itself to me is the fact that Michael is at least somewhat normal, and also a really good actor. But there aren't hardly any story lines involving him. He seems to be always just in the background, while the camera spends most of its time focusing on stupid, annoying Buster or Job. And Lindsey is a carachter that's just plain painful to watch, IMO. Her spoiledness and hypocrisy make me cringe. So can anyone tell me... am I missing something? What is so great about this show?",3
"To give this review some context, I have enjoyed many Marvel films and really enjoyed 'The Falcon and Winter Solider', series.

Episode 1 of Moon Knight looked promising enough to keep watching, although some of the CGI looked a bit ropey, and the cut away from the violent fight scenes was annoying...I want to see the action, not the bloody hands after the event. Episodes 2 and 3 followed suit...don't show any real violence and focus more on the characters stories. It became so dull at this point that I gave up.

If this is what is happening to Marvel under Disney, I think Disney will kill Marvel within 5 years. They destroyed Loki, turning him into a playful yet caring character...no longer the God of mischief who only cares for himself. 'WanderVision' was shockingly poor. 'Hawkeye' was just dull.

Disney need to get a return on the purchase of Marvel, but just churning out mediocre series after series and sub standard movies surely will backfire on them eventually. The people who sold Marvel to Disney must be laughing all the way to the bank knowing Marvel's best days were already behind them.",3
"Dont get me wrong, i know 99% of the reviews are from marvel/avengers fans but hey im not blame you all youre are blind and marketing from producers swept you down. Let me see - opening was perfect but suddenly half of the movie is boring, cheaply dark, second part of the movie is too chaotic. Movie trashes other truly legendary films about their non logical sory but here is seemingly everything logical ? LOL ... I could name like 6 very stupid/ilogical/boring things but hey, whats the point. Im just glad all the avengers nonsense ended. I liked Infinity War for its adult-ish story, dark/serious tone, nice and attractive story but here producers knew that EVERYTHING goes and NOTHING will be criticised from die hard fans.. Even if the movie was bad in 50% of the avengers fan, still everybody from you would love it.. Producers have the luck that this franchise is very very solid in terms of acceptance.. For neutral fan like me ? theres HUGE gap between Infinity War and Endgame.",3
"What is wrong with these people? For the first time in the Avengers Movies I'm hearing that the skin color matters. How sick can this get in future movies and series?

For the first time in my life, I'm hating my self for watching this Avengers Movie/Series.... Miss the good old days..!!!",5
"The film has zero substance, with more ups and downs than a rollercoaster. Everything about it feels fake due to the fact than nothing is given time to develop. It is also perhaps the cheesiest film I have ever watched in cinema. The songs are largely forgettable, save for one or two numbers. Still, there is some nice camera work on show and a particularly nice scene involving Efron and Zendaya.",4
"The Witcher was around before GOT and has a well deserved rep it that gained before GOT, both as books and the games. As a fan of both I can't wrap my head a round people who compare them? Otherwise we will never be allowed to move on to something new! I think these people forget that Lord of the Rings was a thing?!?!",9

"Black Mirror is the most hard-hitting hypothetical on the psychological horror of unhampered technological advance I've ever seen... it reminds us that the potential side effects or opportunities for abuse are as limitless as human nature, and easily as devastating as biological tampering. Our current reckless obsession with pushing forward and rolling out new gadgets and systems without ANY thought for the potential consequences, combined with our smug self-assurance that technology is always beneficial to humanity is truly what makes this terrifying stuff. Guns in the hands of children. A brilliantly conceived and written show. I could not fault the acting, editing, camera-work, set pieces, soundtrack, scripting or effects. I honestly haven't been blown away by such a genius social commentary since... well forever. Do yourself a favour and watch them all. You may find yourself looking at your mobile phone with a strange sense of revulsion afterwards. Not to mention the internet.",9
"Just finished watching, my true intention was to give this anime a 10, but the last episode ruined everything.

Long story short: golden anime, crappy ending.",8
"One of the hallmarks of Bollywood cinema in recent years has been its almost single-minded purpose to imitate Hollywood and MTV to such extremes that the weekly offerings of the Indian marquee often play as parodies of parodies (that's right, I'm talking to you, Kambakkhth Ishq). The main purpose of Bollywood cinema is no longer to tell stories or to give actors characters to play, but rather to rev up the hype machine, produce chartbusting musical numbers, and to guarantee an initial weekend box office take which will recover all of the cost of making the film. High art mainstream Bollywood is NOT.

But then it doesn't pretend to be either. So imagine my delight when in the midst of that swell of mediocrity came Imtiaz Ali's delightfully charming (and similarly charmingly delightful) 2007 feature ""Jab We Met"". His second directorial feature combined all the ingredients of popular cinema: a rigid-boy-meets-garrulous-girl love story full of comedy, song, dance and even (dare I say it?) intellect. Whatever was going on on the sets of ""Jab We Met"" clearly worked -- the story (while not entirely original) seemed fresh and interesting, compounded by the sincere turn put in by Shahid Kapur and the dizzyingly enthusiastic and big-hearted performance of Kareena Kapoor. Clearly, a major new talent had arrived.

If only. His follow-up to the sparkling ""Jab We Met"" is a disappointingly stale ""Love Aaj Kal"". The main gripe one has with the film is that (unlike ""Jab We Met"") there is no story. None. There is no proper plot, nothing that feels like a sequence of events. In fact, at the end of the film, one has to really stretch to come up with anything that actually ""happens"". I guess Meera (Deepika Padukone) got married. That counts . . . barely.

The problem is that Ali seems to have been seduced by the all-show-but-no-substance writing formula of Aditya Chopra-Karan Johar-Sanjay Bhansalli that made films like the emotionally dead weight ""Mohabbatein"", ""Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham"", and even the oh-so-heinous ""Devdas"" commercial successes. It's a shame, as one expected Ali to come up with something both entertaining and thoughtful.

So what went wrong? It seems that Ali was acting more as observer than as story-teller. The main sequences of ""Love Aaj Kal"" are the director's musings on the modern interplay of the sexes, a sort of deduction of contemporary romantic and sexual behavior that elicits remarkably little insight. Yes, the main characters Jai (Saif Ali Khan) and Meera throw a break-up party once they realize their relationship has run its course. Is it unusual for a Hindi film? Yes, undoubtedly. Is it especially revealing or interesting to the modern viewer? Regrettably, no.

Though neither of the concurrent ""storylines"" are gripping, one must admit that the love story between Veer Singh (Saif Ali Khan) and Harleen (Giselle Monteiro) is infinitely more interesting than the one between Jai and Meera. Why? Perhaps it's because Veer and Harleen are infinitely more sympathetic than their shallow modern counterparts. Or perhaps it's because in their world, things actually happen. Like events. And experiences.

The other problem is that the casting is rather off. Serving as both lead and producer, Saif Ali Khan comes across as a bit too old for the role of Jai. Though Saif is undoubtedly a fine actor with terrific comic timing, he isn't presented as well as he ought to be here. He suffers the same issue Aamir Khan had in ""Fanaa"" wherein he came off as haggard and bloated next to the litheness of the heroine. He isn't hindered by such constraints as Veer because Veer is more dimensional and has that beard and turban to hide behind. It's a shame to be forced to evaluate an actor's performance at such a superficial level, but the writer has given us little else to consider.

Which brings us to the film's other main pitfall: Deepika Padukone. Ms. Padukone rightly has her legions of admirers smitten by her perfect cheek bones and her perfect hair. Unfortunately, her physical charms are not enough to counter her glaring limitations as an actress. The role requires someone of a natural wit and charm to play with the hero's jocular declarations on modern love (in essence he needs a foil whom he will both find attractive and maddening, a la Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla in their best work). Deepika, having none of the natural wit, acidic humor, or comic timing of Kajol, Juhi Chawla or Kareena Kapoor, comes off as a one-dimensional mannequin who operates in two modes: smilingly nice and frustratingly nervous. She needs major work on her dialogue delivery and she ought to familiarize herself with something called voice modulation. Her thick Indian accent jars embarrassingly against her supposed British upbringing.

The supporting cast is arguably the strongest element of the film: Rishi Kapoor is as natural as ever, giving the elder Veer Singh all the romantic gusto and melancholy one expects from an old fashioned romantic. Neetu Singh shows up at the end of the film as an older Harleen, though the cameo lasts literally 90 seconds. The younger Harleen, played by Brazillian model Giselle Monteiro, is convincing as an emotionally fractured Punjabi damsel: Monteiro hits exactly the right note with her furtive glances and cowed body language. In many ways, she steals the film from the Bollywood stalwarts by actually inhabiting the character she's given to play (novel, isn't it?). Admittedly, she lacks the dancing ability needed to pull off the boisterous ""Thoda Thoda Pyar."" It must be nearly impossible for non-Indian actresses to attempt to enact all the ""nakhras"" and ""adaayein"" associated with India's legendary screen mavens like Rekha and Sridevi.

In the end, ""Love Aaj Kal"" will probably make tons of money and maybe even inspire a few copycats. What it won't do is instruct or dramatize the trials and trivialities of modern love stories.",5

"I'll be honest, Adam Sandler has never been my favorite actor, most of the time he bugs the expressions in his comedies, but in this case he was finally watchable. Jennifer Aniston, always good looking, is an okay actress, at least for these kind of movies, lighthearted comedies, movies where you just relax and have a bit of mindless fun. The combination of the two actors worked well in this case. There are enough good and funny scenes to be entertained. Storywise the beginning was better than the ending. You won't get bored though, the story is fluent and easy to follow, the cast and characters were well chosen, with Adeel Akhtar as my favorite character. Overall Murder Mystery is worth a watch.",6
"This show is a perfect example of why we should just leave a comic book alone. It isn't the worst, but there's nothing great about it either just a clone of the other hundred Netflix originals. Remarkably lifeless cinematography, predictable plot, and way too many poorly written characters with a forced sense of liberal agenda pushing politics. The show is just boring I'd strongly recommend just reading it because this just feels like time wasted.",4
Glad I didn't pay cinema prices to watch this. I thought subtitles were not necessarily needed. Also I felt the main actor should have been 5-10 years younger. It would have been more believable if he had of been 8-10 years old instead of the 16-17 year old he is. Worth watching though for anyone who enjoys a good TV movie.,5
"Comic reliefs perhaps is good for third graders. Give us more movies like watchmen or dark knight that treat hero plots like grown ups and don't cut the drama with cheap laugh ...

the potential drama is intriguing, but falls short due to cheap laughs inserted at any give time.

what movies like watchmen and nolans dark knight got right in terms of drama and deadpool got right in terms of humor for mature audiences are both shortcomings of this otherwise entertaining flick.

but because of this it fails falls short of innovation and excelling in any other way that than CG",6
"I didn't know this film in the first place until someone mentioned in a list saying that it's full of twists and turns. So, I thought it might be something interesting and that's why I happened to watch this film. The running time was a bit long. At first, I was a bit lazy to watch. But recently, I watched Avengers: Endgame which has 3 hours of running time. After I watched Endgame, I felt 2.5 hours was nothing. Thus, I watched it.

When the film has started, I felt a little bit confused. Maybe because of the presentation style, I was confused for some minutes but I continued to watch. After some minutes passed, I kind of could followed up the plot. Then I felt it's like Matrix film, but later I found out that it's not that much alike. Matrix is concerning with controlling things with minds. This film is concerning with dreams. So, they are very much different.

This film is kind of sci-fi film and sometimes, it makes me feel like some sort of fiction. I kind of like the concept, but maybe the presentation style is very confusing, so, it's really a big confusion. Moreover, the dialogues are a bit odd and different. Maybe I'm not native speaker, I don't get some parts. In general, I only get 70% of the film.

The performances are not so bad. I really like Arthur character. He's really cute and talented. It's like he's so capable of everything he's facing. So, I'd say it's quite good.

Too bad that they didn't show the result of what they were doing. I mean we all know what's going happen and what the result is. But I feel that if they showed the result, it'd be better. It really gives the viewers a lot of satisfaction. And about twists and turns, I didn't see them that much. I feel like it's just so normal.

All in all, the script needs to be less confusion and if the presentation style is a bit simple, I'm quite sure that this film will be better.",6
The quality and artistic value of this movie is it doesn't matter. It shows Bangladesh in a heinous wrong way. Children in Bangladesh don't carry arms and arms are illegal here. Terrorism is almost extinct in Bangladesh. One more thing for sure the forces of Bangladesh can beat down Chris Heimsworth with snap of fingers. It is high time Hollywood changed its outlook to other countries.,1
"Perfect casting, acting, directing, writing, photography and music distinguish this outstanding mixture of the comic and pathetic, although much of the humor revolves around exaggerated midwestern accents. A bit of schmaltz is a minor demerit, but it comes in at a trim 98 minutes. It can be seen several times with much satisfaction. William H. Macy and Steve Buscemi became stars and Frances McDormand edged out Kristin Scott Thomas (""The English Patient"") for an Oscar.",9
"I had great expectations on this trilogy because of everybody says it was good.

Definitely , they seemed rubbish the 3 of them to me.

Long and boring.

Besides i got lost with so many characters and actions so i had to rewind the movie so many times that i spend much more time than usual viewing this film.

All for you, because to me is a F*****G S**T.

PS: I don't understand how can i be the only one who doesn't like this movies although i am a great movie fan.",4
Started off ok in season 1 but got bored towards end. Turned off 2 episodes in season 2,6
Yawner... Skip this if you haven't already watched this. I usually finish all movies I start but I can't put myself through that kind of tourture for this one.,1
"Two episodes in and I'm admiring this curiously crafted, visually stunning (and very risky) program. I entered into this show as a fan of the novels and films (with the exception of 'Hannibal' 2001). Last week's pilot was considerably rushed (I felt an extra 30 mins to flesh out the crime would have evened the pacing) however this 2nd episode really nailed me with the tone, and development of the characters. Hannibal and Will Graham, predator and prey (one character unwittingly). Sure there are some cheap moves for shock value and and certainly the investigations are rushed to make room for the greater psychological thriller, yet the time and craft spent on creating haunting atmosphere and imagery really help to dispel the smaller annoyances. This show is as sophisticated as the sauce being served with Hannibal's loin of pork.

Even though this show seems intent on the trappings of a police procedural I am very seduced by the bonding (and manipulation) between Hannibal and Graham. Intellectual peers although one is weak and the other exuding strength. I thought this week was terrific in terms of setting up the trust between patient and doctor. Moreover, Mikkelson, who I found wooded and sterile in the pilot really begins to flex his characters charisma and control. Hannibal is a monster and Mads is perfectly cast. The show expertly sets the tension that he is already 5 plays ahead of everyone. Dancy impressed me as well. Two episodes in and your already experiencing the brilliantly frail and dark mind of Will Graham. The labels of 'finest china', 'broken pony' are perfect labels for his embodied genius who is also a tortured soul. Someone who suppresses the impulse to kill like a recovering alcoholic avoids mouthwash. I know many will knock the casting but after watching a decade of stale, wooden acting of 'Criminal Minds, CSI:Everywhere, NCIS's casting... and so on it's gratifying to see actors with depth and a script that allows them to emote pain and fear. And Larry Fishburne even elevates himself from CSI land (not a bad show, however this is a step up).

I'm admittedly a pretty picky viewer. Since HBO's The Sopranos graced the screen there have been very little network TV that I've been inclined to tune into. Aside from LOST, The Good Wife and a few other programs that have been here and gone (cancellation) I've had a steady diet of serial based cable dramas to fill my TV time. BREAKING BAD, THE WIRE, JUSTIFIED, SOA, THE WALKING DEAD, THE KILLING, MAD MEN, DEADWOOD, THE SHIELD, HOMELAND, BOARDWALK EMPIRE... I could go on but the message here is that the networks offer me little to invest in. Kudos NBC and Bryan Fuller here. I could see myself watching this for 13 episodes (the series run). I don't shake my head at the screen and feel my intelligence is being cheated here.",8
"Season one had a some what original story and an interesting take on time travel. It seems the whole of season two was really about going back to 1960s to show the black actress as a civil rights hero. Can you get any more cliche for a time travel story, maybe going back to save JFK, oh that is included as well. Of all the diners in the world she ends up to at the only one in Texas with a whites only sign. Who writes this nonsense and don't they watch other TV series?",4
"I watched Ratsasan today and was compelled to review and ask movie buffs to add this masterpiece thriller in their wish-list. This is a rollercoaster ride which doesn't let you comfortably sit in your seat. This is the longest rollercoaster I have ever sat on. Very gripping narrative, with a mind numbing, soul quenching background score. From cinematography to editing to acting, all in all a masterpiece. Movies first half ends at a point, where you are hungry to discover the killer but the second half leaves you at the edge of your seat until you reach home, still in the reminiscences of the killer, one struggles to sleep. Yes, all of this despite being completely unfamiliar with Tamil language.",10
Boy am I glad that there was finally a movie without any white people hating rhetoric. It's about time a movie was focused on outstanding acting and a solid plot . All the movies these days have way too many hostile microagressions towards white people and this awesome movie steered clear of the liberal democrat bull. Thank you finally for getting back to what making a great movie is all about. This movie had a good momentum and a non stop plot line . Edward Norton is such a phenomenal actor and once again he delivered an outstanding performance with a cast of excellence. Great movie that I will watch again.,10
"Slow. Quite boring at times. There's not really enough (interesting) content to stretch all the way into 10 episodes.

Seyfried, however, does an incredible job emulating the absurd and jarring voice, body language, and energy of Elizabeth Holmes. When she started using that deep voice, I actually thought she was doing a terrible job-I'd heard that Holmes had done voice training to achieve a deep voice for the corporate world, and figured for some reason that hers was believable and Seyfried was phoning it in. And then I watched Holmes' TED Talk-wow. Seyfried is SPOT ON. The voice, the posture, the creepy eyes, the striking awkwardness. She's got it down.

However, this could have been 5 episodes. It could have been a two hour documentary. 10 episodes is too much. It's boring.",6
"This is by far the darkest MCU to date. I was not Impressed with the storyline and hate all The darkness. This could have gone another way.... do not recommend for children at all. It has a ""horror"" movie type theme. Bodies contort, people Get possessed, dark magic & witchcraft, demons, wraiths, violence ;(",2
Waoo this movie is amazing and above my expectations,10
"I find movies to be constantly going downhill, iron man's trilogy has gone from bad to awful. Robert Downey Jr's awful portrayal of iron man through his arrogant, simply irritating nature and the lack of chemistry he and Gwyneth paltrow have together all blend together to make one very mind blowingly average film. its boring, its cheesy and its predictable. its just plain poor. is it really too much to ask for a marvel film that in some way challenges the superhero series of batman? because at this point its out of hand, maybe the bar has just been set to such a high standard by the batman series that anything else just fails to match up, but they could at least make an effort. very much struggling to find anything positive to say about this movie, in some of these types of movies you could at least push for some good action scenes to somewhat disguise a horrible storyline and an even worse script but it lacked even that basic need for a good superhero film. don't start to watch it, you could spend 130 mins doing about 130,000 better things.",4
"I really enjoyed this series, there's a lot going on and there's many twists and turns. The acting is good and so is the writing...until we get to the end. The first half of the final episode I liked but once we get down to the truth, the writing was trash. I felt it was really out of character for Mare to have sympathy for everyone involved in the murder no matter how little of a role they played and how well she knew them. Throughout the whole show we know she's very big into finding the truth and doing the right thing no matter how difficult, so it irked me seeing that she basically went back on that in the last episode. All the sympathizing in general annoyed me even with the deacon. It honestly felt like Mare forgot that a baby will grow up without his mother and girl lost her life, a girl that was victim of abuse. I was expecting this show to have a way better ending. I'm disappointed big time.",7
"I'm not a great reviewer but I really want to say this, this movie made me feel the Josh, the spirit, the boiling blood of the Indian Army. Vicky Kaushal, Yami Gautam and team had really done an outstanding job of being a medium and letting us know about The Surgical Strike that happened recently. I'm terribly speechless..

""HOW'S THE JOSH?"" ""HIGH SIR!!""",10
"Filled with emotion, shock, and horror, 12 Years a Slave gives a gritty yet powerful portrayal of a brutal time in pre-Civil War America, a time that saw the suffering of so many. The acting and directing are easily the best parts of the film, every actor and actress shined and did their part well. Some scenes in this movie are so hard to watch, yet so well-crafted, and one final tear-jerking scene bring it all home to make it a defining movie!",8
"For a nearly 2-hour movie there was not enough back story for venom or the villain. The action scenes are well done, and the CGI was not bad. I just felt that there was not enough time to care about the characters. I didn't know much about the villain and the hero of the movie. With a movie like this I think developing the villain more would have made it better even if they didn't do so with the main character. The jokes in the movie were 'ok' at best as not all of them landed. All I can say about the movie is that it was a fun watch though the ending was super easy to guess.",5
"I loved this movie! It features a good continuity in the storyline as Captain America (with a brilliant performance by Chris Evans) battles a new enemy with a character from his past. My favorite scenes were the battle scenes, the chase scenes, and the elevator scene. This movie does not disappoint, and the interactions between the main characters are first rate. A must for any superhero or Marvel Comic movie fan.

*** out of ****",9
"Engrossing, realistic and mostly a fair reflection of the true events. Some artistic license, but certainly not overdramatised or Hollywoodized. Some important messages that are still highly relevant today. Sad that we have not fully taken onboard some of the lessons from this disaster.",9
Maybe we were expecting too much...but this was weird and disappointing.,3
High expectations but in reality from my point of view it is a bad movie.,3
"First off, the soundtrack alone Is worth watching the show. Humor, action and mysterious plot keeps you engaged. This is not your typical ""superhero"" show, and that's a good thing. The cast is great. Terrific performances from just about everyone. I recommend this show if you are looking for something a bit odd, yet keeps you curious and entertains with some great action and comedy.",9
I wasted 1 hour for the first episode and it was sooooo slow and booooring.,3
"Don't know why this anime was split into parts 1 and 2. I just watched episodes 1-26, so I'm going to review it as one show.

It starts with a rich family (the Joestars) adopting a poor boy named Dio. Dio is the same age as the Joestar's son, Jonathan, and they become fierce rivals at everything trying to get the attention of Jonathan's father. Initially, Dio is better at everything, but as they grow up, Jonathan catches up to Dio, making him bitter and twisted. One day, he finds a stone mask, that when attached to his face, transforms him into an evil vampire...

The shows stretches over 3 generations of Joestars and each son is nicknamed Jojo. They spend their lives fighting vampires and other, stronger immortals.

What I really liked about this show was the humour. The characters were all great and the animation and action scenes were awesome, but the humour turned what could have been a dark, horror type story into something really fun. Normally, I'd prefer them to have left out the humour and gone down the dark path, but in this case, it really works well. Definitely worth a watch!",8
"One of the most artful movie I have watched, involvement of philosophy and the way the different life's was involved like a web structure was so brilliant, depicted true nature of our life. Great movie",10
"I have to admit I wasn't a fan of superhero movies . Besides ''Iron Man 1'', ''Thor 1 '' and ''Guardians of the Galaxy 1 '' I haven't seen any other movie from Marvel . But this movie completely changed my perspective . As soon as I saw it , I had to look for the rest of the movies to understand the plot . And I haven't felt sorry . It's their best movie so far . For two hours and a half you'll see continuous action with breathtaking CGIs . No wonder they gained more than 2 billions worldwide . I have one messages for the morons giving one or two stars : go and see the other movies to understand this one , mthfks !!! Don't write a bad review just because you don't understand it .",3
"I love the Punisher, but it seems Hollywood can't get it right. For once they cast the right lead, but some of the supporting actors and the writing are a let down.

Neither of the first two seasons are particularly exciting or original. And some of the acting wooden to say the least.

Here's hoping they get the balance right if there is a season 3.",6
"It's hard to believe that this film rates in the Top 10 of all IMDb-rated movies. Sure, it deserves more than 5 stars on Heath Ledger's performance alone. But let's face it: This movie doesn't hold a candle to Nolan's first Batman effort.

There is very little plot. There is a whole heckuva lot of brooding. There is dark aplenty, but to what purpose? I got so tired of it, I was ready to just have Heath get rid of Batman for once and all.

The Nolan/Christian Bale combo is dynamite, but this screenplay and plot is anything but.

Still, there is Heath Ledger, and he is really superb. What a loss for us all. And, as always, the movie LOOKS great, filled with the typical Nolan touches. I've recovered and I'm ready for a third Nolan/Bale effort, just with a bit more thought to story and at least some measure of action.",5
"I'm not a professional critic. I watch things for entertainment purely and to take myself out of the world around me. That being said, I really wanted to enjoy ""The Punisher"". With him already showing up as Frank Castle in ""Daredevil"", I would have thought that they would have added on Jon Bernthal's portrayal. That would have been great...if The Punisher was really IN the show for more than a few episodes. Don't get me wrong: Frank Castle is there, but this is not The Punisher. The first episode or two has some story and a little bit of action, and then gets into a series of sub-plots that were so boring that I found myself debating skipping entire episodes just to get to something worth watching again. The final 3 episodes of the series seemed worth watching, so...that's maybe 4-5 episodes out of 13 that were really worth my time? 13 episodes and only a 3rd- 4th of them worth watching? Even Iron Fist, the show everybody claimed was ""unwatchable"" seemed to have a stronger pull for me as it actually had stories and characters that I cared about. These stories were boring and drawn-out with no real pay off, and even the end of this ""season"" had me going ""all that for...this?"". I don't know what show the rest of you watched, but I wouldn't recommend this to anybody without saying ""This isn't 'The Punisher'; this is the punishMENT"". Hopefully season two has something better to say than spending so much time on SJW issues, PTSD, Frank's ""special-needs"" grunting/anger issues, and flashback after flashback after flashback of his family over and over and over again (we get it: they died).",6
"First of all, this is an excellent idea for a reality-based television show. It has a lovable set of characters, cast, and crew. Also, getting to watch ""the hero"" react to wacky situations and deposition was funny.

Though, as a viewer I often felt left out of the joke. The choice to give the in-the-know actors a plot and character histories, without also clueing viewers in on the actor's knowledge of the ruse being played missed the point of the show. That point, ""the joke"", being how an elaborate scheme was being undertaken on Ronald. In other words, Ronald became an actor in the show instead of the the cast and crew molding the show around Ronald's reactions and their knowledge that the scenarios were fake.

Viewers were left out of this hilarious joke, and felt as if they were just watching another scripted documentary-style comedy, until the very last episode. Viewers were then clued into all the work the went on behind the scenes and everything that had to be done to revolve around Robert's reactions. This episode fulfilled the premise of the show where previous episodes did not. I wish there was more material like this throughout the season. I would love to watch a season two with more of that!",6
"After being exposed to several negative reviews, my expectations for Iron Man 2 were not shattered, but certainly lower than they were the day before the movie was released. I was hoping I would like the movie, but feared the worst. Fortunately, I was not disappointed. For me, it was definitely worth the price of admission. The theater was about half full for the three o'clock matinée, and everyone in attendance appeared to have a great time. There is a lot of dialogue between fight scenes, but the script is paced very well, and the acting was superb, of course, the cast is excellent. All I'm going to say is I recommend this movie. Go see it. Relax and enjoy.",8
"This one is more for a young audience since the tricks are so over the top it all becomes extremely silly. Yet a beautiful work of art, but as a film it falls short.

Maybe superstitious people tend to like this film more than I do. To me the film could have been great if it had been at least somewhat believable. Now it's almost laughable and the great effects cannot hide that the film is a stinker.

Nothing new is presented and the film follows the well known pattern with some surprises to spice things up.

I had high hopes but as extremely disappointed. Too bad.",4
I'll start by saying that this is an acquired taste and if you aren't familiar with some of the comics/deeper lore this is likely to confuse you. Applause to Disney for nailing the 50s theme. There is something so intriguing about this. You know that's there is something going on behind the curtain and the show gives you just enough peeks to keep you invested. Although a few more peeks wouldn't go amiss I'm definitely curious to see where this will go.,8
"Largely overshadowed by better action movies, particularly from Asia, the film promotes more style over class. Usually depicted as the best of the series, the movie has powerful moments and impressive lines of dialogue, but ultimately it rushes far too quickly and unrealistically into its premise and doesn't have enough momentum to go all the way to the end. William Dafoe is also criminally underused and there are far too minor characters that fail to extenuate the plot. Finally it feels like a video game for a universe that isn't properly established and propels the audience to care more about the action than about its characters and lore.",4
"Yup, I am here for Johnny Depp and Jude Law.

The film was not bad, but I ain't a big fan.

When can I watch the next one? Lol.",7
I gave it a 7 stars rating. I really liked how it captured the savagery of the revolutionary forces and the killings they did and still do to this day. Of course most parts about shah were a huge lie! and the whole Americans being the real hero BS. Was a good movie and people in this review section that are taking side with those savages that have taken us hostage over 4 decades are completely clueless and know nothing about these murderers.,7
"Truly a dark dystopia. So awful (world, not the show itself) that I couldn't look away.",8
"This movie is not awful but also not the most amazing horror movie ever like some are making it out to be. The characters are insufferable and so dislike-able that it makes it hard to care. The ending was also pretty bleak and left me and my group feeling very unsatisfied because it just felt sloppy. The moments of horror are great but are few and far in-between. The movie is more unsettling than scary and is also very dark. The hype around the movie did it a bid disservice because it is nothing like was promised in all the ads and mass reviews. Overall, the movie is okay, but isnt something I would care to see again.",6
"This movie had all the right ingredients to make a brilliant thriller/horror with 2 great actors, a bleak and desolate location and the added element of an aspect ratio change plus black and white for a real atmospheric ambiance but unfortunately it ended up as a mess of a film not really knowing what it wanted to be in my opinion. It failed as a horror as it was just plain bizarre and not in the least bit scary and it also failed as a thriller as it went nowhere. The supposed climax was unexciting and a frankly dull end to a very dull film. Both characters were unlikeable so from the get go you really didn't care what happened to either. After about 30 minutes you were hoping the movie would actually go somewhere as it seemed to be protracted scene after scene of nothing but 'yah' talk monologues and BS symbolism alluding to some higher plane of understanding but no, it was just a very pretentious boring film that started with promise but floundered on the rocks. People on here are confusing the technical side of the movie i.e. it's cinematography rather than the actual content and story of the movie with their absolutely undeserved 10/10 scores. Although the cinematography was superb it's just how the saying goes, you can't polish a turd....",3
"No nonsense about sanskriti and values An honest movie about what rural India is The disparity between rich and poor.

The stark side of casteism The situation of lowly farmers.

Shahrukh Khan is the soul of movie.

The eyes the pain when the water selling boy meets at railway station.

Barf ka mukadar apne pani mein mil jaana hota hai.",10
"Devs is just one huge plot hole. It generally doesn't make any sense. If you are willing to ignore that, you may be attracted by other, better aspects of the movie. It's visually beautiful, and script is made profesionally to pin you in front of the screen if you catch the emotions of it, but totally lame if we're taking about common logic. Don't mistake it with real sci-fi, it's just an average thriller with pseudo-science in the background, and idea that seems great at first but then it's falling apart.... *meh*",5
"Well I have watched an awful lot of science fiction in my

life and I thought Mr Nolan could do no wrong but this film is so boring a poor Twilight zone story dragged out for what seemed like an eternity

most of the film was shots of space with dull music unconvincing acting from surprisingly good actors just poor on all levels pity really it had all the right ingredients for greatness I cannot state how disappointed I was with this film I am not an action junkie or set in my ways about space movies I love watching good films this one just isn't very good as an after thought why is the end so rushed when it rolls on so slowly up until then with questions left in the air ?",2
"In this series, the truth is about 70%. However, even so much truth has never been shown anywhere before. Therefore, my score is quite high. However, the viewer must understand that this is not a documentary. In reality, the Ulana Khomyuk character did not exist. Why was it entered into the script? Apparently, she urged Legasov to say what he said at the trial in the series. In reality, Legasov was not present at the trial. Accordingly, his words were not there either. Accordingly, no one has deprived him of the right to engage in his activities. But if the series showed the truth, the whole meaning of the story would be completely different. And the creators of the series wanted to show exactly what they showed. Well, there is a lie in the small details. For example, they did not drink vodka there. First, it was, of course, forbidden. Secondly, it would simply be nowhere to take it. But there is a stereotype that Soviet people should drink vodka. About the constant use of the word ""tovarisch"" is also a stereotype. Nobody said that. And there are many other similar details. But as I wrote, nevertheless, even so much truth has never been shown before, so 8 out of 10.",8
"I am a BIG movie buff and can spend days watching them. When I saw this one had Morgan Freeman in it I felt sure I was in for a good movie.....Absolutely not, this movie is so slow and so boring. Casey Affleck really needs to brush up on his speech as I found him really annoying in this movie. Could not follow his dialogue.........very frustrating...... would not recommend this film to anybody......YAWN.....! No offence....just being honest and giving my opinion. BTW, I have never given a review before NOW. Dx",3
"This film is wildly over-rated. I expect it may win Oscars, but that will be an absolute travesty, and simply a confirmation of the pap-loving and mindless U.S. audience. Is that confrontational in Oscar week? No. Look at the sort of films that do well on the big night! This film is like Chocolat - sugary sweet. Let's just hope for the sake of cinema that the Academy sees sense like it did with that. The film is historically completely inaccurate. But the serious crime is that schizophrenia is badly misrepresented. Rather than audi-intrusiveness in some schizophrenics, the film producers decided to opt for sixth-sense style sensationalism. How original. Nash's violent temper and bi-sexuality were almost completely disregarded, or sanitised, and the ending was puke-makingly sugary. The film has one, and only one, redeeming feature: Crowe has done it again. For all his odiousness as a person, he has managed a fine performance. But this film is otherwise hardly worth the entrance fee. Oh, and by the way, a biopic whilst a person is still alive? I don't think so. You end up with a piece of sychophantic drivel.",4
"This series is one of the very best - ever - until... the last episode of season 3. Everyone is saying that it goes bad in season 4, but right from the start of season 3 finale (episode 13), it seemed like something was off or odd. Maybe the writers left early, and the key grips wrote the episode. It just seemed really weird, rushed & sloppy. And yes, as everyone knows, season 4 continues the garbage. I was angry that they replaced Portia de Rossi as Lindsay with a less-likeable not-quite-look-alike, only to find out that - somehow - that actually WAS still her. Wow.. Lost a bet to my wife after I looked it up. Never bothered with season 5.",8
Must watch movie.... Complex story and screenplay But delivered in a perfect way.... Loved it... Full marks to BGM...pritam da nailed it,9
"Best ever Indian web series ever made on the startup scene of India. Very informative and sheds a great deal of light on the startup situation India and an entrepreneur. A must watch for every entrepreneur or anyone thinking to start his own business.Just when you are sick of seeing overly dramatic Indian television series, the direction of Pitchers makes you fall in love with it. The sets are so naturally designed that any one can relate to it. The set of the bar with posters like ""Wish you were beer"", Naveen drinking water in a whiskey glass, typical drunk dials and a monotonous office life for coders – the direction of Pitchers is the essence of the show!",10
Couldn't really understand the different parts of the story. Not my kind of movie but I'm sure it appealed to many !,5
"Season 1 was extremely average. Season 2 on the other hand has completely restored my faith in the producers, and I truly believe that this show can become an All-time great. A true masterpiece is in the making!",5
"This is not a great movie. It's not even a very good one. I liked the first Avengers movie; this one greatly disappointed me.

The plot and subplot--barely there.

All the snappy dialog in the whole movie MAYBE equaled two minutes.

Character relationships--we're supposed to believe them?? The audience wasn't born yesterday...

This movie focuses on the fight scenes. Technically, they impressed me (I counted 11 visual-effects companies in the credits!). I didn't time the fight scenes, but I would guess that they take up at least 90 minutes of the movie.

So if you like fight scenes, this movie is for you. For the rest of us, meh.",2
Slow paced confusing boring unrealistic so baddddddd dont listen to the 10 stars pathetic show should be canselled.,1
Just watch it an enjoy.... Some great back to the future references.,8
"I hardly give out reviews but I was just compelled to give one for this movie. It's amazing.

The story - At the heart of it, its a very well crafted mystery about multiple but related murders going on. It has so many twists and turns, all of which are natural and dont seem forced at all. It's well written, well thought of. A great mystery isnt one thats out of the blue but one that leaves a few hints for the audience, but still manages to surprise everyone with the reveal. And this movie has multiple amazing reveals, each of which has its own set of carefully placed hints throughtout the narration. This is by far the best mystery bollywood has put out in the last decade. A must watch

The music - The movie has a phenomenal background score. The music is crafted specifically for the movie itself and not placed into it randomly. It has meaning to the story playing in the foreground. Music also connects different scenes in the movie, with related interactions having their own theme songs.

The dialogues - Catchy interactions. Great dialogues. There is a lot of subtext all throughout the movie. The movie doesnt spell out everything. It perfectly encapsulates the ""Show, dont tell"" principle of filmmaking while still kepping the dialogues relevant and engaging. Some interactions are also rythymic.

TLDR: WATCH IT, please.",10
"This movie totally does not represent real Bangladesh at all. Bangladeshi homes do not play Hindi music at here and there and bangladeshi childreen are not like how it has been shown in the movie! All yhe actors using very poor bangla made it even worse! Netflix could have been at least hire some good bangla speaking actors! As a Bangladeshi i felt totally offended watching this movie! Netflix did not do justice with their representation of bangladesh. We are not a part of India. We have our own culture and beliefs. If they do not know, i would like ti remind that in 1952 we sacrified lives for our language and culture. And Now the international language day, which is being celebrated at 21st February, came from the history of our sacrifices. Netflix should have done at least justice to that.",2
"This is cinema. Really everything falls perfectly in this. Loved Radhika Apte totally on repeat mode. I have not touched my remote after clicking on play button. There is new twist with powerful acting. The actors were so good that you will live in that scene. You were hinted at each stage who is behind all this but not able to figure out the whole picture Netflix iss good to pick up these good stuff.

Raj is good in situational comedy, Radhika raj has good onscreen chemistry .love to see there work together. Hoping for Radhika as bindaas police and raj as serious employee and there is a murder.",8
Casting is very good. All the actors did equally good in their acting. 1 extra star for Abhishek Bachchan. I literally cried when Bittu meets her own daughter. What I can say about Pankaj Tripathi. He is always awesome. To say precisely everyone is good. Must watch cinema.,9
"Look, there's always some offbeat movie that gets plenty of play around Oscar season. This isn't an offbeat farce. It's a calamity of plagiarism. If you took a bunch of stories from and references to good films and threw them against a wall, you could get this movie. The fights were tired and unimaginative. The dialogue was confusing and disjointed. By the end I was questioning how this was nominated. Is there something about movies I don't get? I thought I liked movies. I'm willing to compensate for the fact that every once in a while there will just be a movie I don't like that will win Best Picture; too artsy, too smart, stuff like that. But this isn't that. It's just bad. And everyone down to the caterer is nominated and I have no idea why.",3
"This was a very disappointing movie.

First off the first 40 minutes or so had me and my wife yawning.

The rest of the movie had my blood pressure rising with the very apparent globalist agenda propaganda BS intertwined.

I'm done with this series and honestly I am thinking about just giving up on the ((())) run Hollywood.

America the defiant in the face of the wise, globalist, billionaire Tony Stark.

Did the Russo brothers really think that this would go unnoticed?

Hollywood had best figure out and fast that making such political statements will eventually backfire in your face the same way that Ghostbusters did pushing their feminist agenda. Beware your own propaganda Hollywood.",1
"The only two good things in this movie are the CGI & fight scenes, everything else were bad.",2
"This feels like a breath of fresh air... but only because a lot of the comedies recently have been bad. This movie is acted well, albeit with some cliches that were a bit annoying. But it's a good story with compelling characters, and Taika does a brilliant job as an exuberant and fun imaginary friend.",7
"Director should know about Bangladeshi culture,people. Police dress is black.Spelling mistake.. Amry and police both in dress. And so more",1
"It is so boring and I have never understood the hype. I am in the minority I guess as with the other reviewers. I wanted to believe there was more to this and I am just maybe missing something. Well the answer is no, it just aims towards very emotionally driven people who follow the majority. What is to like about the film? The only thing is the camera angles maybe. Otherwise I just don't get it. The personalities didn't work for me. This was like eating a birthday cake and puking back up right after. It wasn't any next level hoorah. Go see a David Finch film instead. I agree that Carrey did not do well in this.",1
"Visually it's absolutely stunning, and the one take is well done (though certainly not perfect).

Ultimately though the storyline just doesn't have that much substance, George MacKay as the lead role was poorly chosen and Mendes just had to add pc nonsense that sadly simply wasn't the reality of 1917 Europe.

Cameos were fantastically picked though.",6
"The movie has great music, but in the beginning it moves really fast, which I've not seen a lot in movies. The fact that it's so fast makes it hard to follow and before you know it she's a star. Next the movie slows down so fast that you kind of get bored. The patterns of the plot are a total constant, repeating itself over and over, which just makes it kind of a bummer.",4
"Needed more knives, took a while to get used to Daniel Craig's accent",6
"Entertaining, but at the same time emotionally empty, Bird Box thrills throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed the film, but didn't connect with the characters. This was pretty shocking to me as it was very well fleshed out, and I couldn't find any flaws in the performances. I think the plot in general, as ridiculous as it was, caused this detachment. The sound design, score and cinematography all get kudos here as well, as I felt the shots were executed with tremendous care and thought. Definitely worth an evening film.",7
It is too dark and depressing for my taste. I always feel bad after watching this.,5
"Only for Chris I'll mark it 5/10

Action was good. Bangladesh was portrayed so wrongly. They should have researched more about a country before making a film. The Mafia,Police,Elite everything sucked big time. Because the truth is Bangladesh forces don't give a damn to any mafia don. OMG !! How bad a storyline could be! And they put a suspense at the end. For what? Sequel? I AM NOT INTERESTED AT ALL Chris Hemsworth 8/10 Action 9/10 Storyline 3/10

Thanks",5
"This is the first time I have ever had to stop a movie. We made it 20 min. in and that was it.

Everything is moving. Who are these characters? Why should we care? How long is this car chase going to last? 20 min. in already and we still have no idea what's going on. The only character introduction we get is a number and a description.

I'm impressed by how bad this movie is.",1
"First off I have to admit I am not a musical fan so that definitely is a factor. I was told however this would appeal to everyone, even the ones who do not usually enjoy musicals.

The opening of the movie already had me fearing the worst. It is cheesy, not very well sung and it carried on forever! Oh well, here come the main characters. I found them to be shallow and extremely annoying. Singing definitely is not their best quality, the dancing not of this era...

The story is so superficial and Hollywood self indulgent, half way through I had no choice but to walk out. I do not understand this movie has been received so well. There are other movies which are much more deserving of various awards, this was a huge disappointment.",2
This film has been getting more than it deserves in terms of rating and popularity for many reasons: 1- No special or new story same old things in Mafias movies and same characters which make the watcher gets bored. 2 - Over too long movie and this was not important at all. 3- The ending was obvious to everyone since the beginning of the movie.,4
I thought this movie would be a great Oscar contender. It is a Razzie contender now. The movie has a great cast and great production values. But it ultimately suffers from a poor script and a messy plot. The acting is fine but feels off and the plot is just messy and confusing. The makeup effects on Bale are just bad and needed some work. But the costumes and scenery and wigs are all great. Just wait until it comes out on digital. Don't waste your time and money driving to a movie theater to see it. And not to mention it has many celebrities but some don't feel interested into what they were doing.,3
"Loads of action. Plenty of girls in underwear. Up skirt shots. (Me too?) Loads of gratuitous dead body shots. The editing though! Was there even an editor in this film? It's was awful! Continuity could have been better if they just put all the bits they filmed randomly in to the editing suite, hit compile on the move and did nothing else! Also when was the Yas Marina circuit and hotel in Las Vegas?

Funny in parts. RR good as ever! But the editing!",3
"I had a hard time buying Jennifer Lawrence as a Russian, but that might be my fault more than her actual accent or performance (the dangers of stars being overexposed - we know too much about them). The action and cinematography were great. Lush visuals, exciting stunts, etc. The biggest problem with this film lies in the storytelling. Partly directing, partly writing, partly writing, it felt like it was trying to be sexy and cool, but it felt like it was trying way too hard and thus had the opposite effect. I found myself laughing at things that weren't supposed to be funny. Some great individual scenes but overall, it didn't entirely work for me.",5
"I ignored all the critics and gave this series a try. Season 1 is good, the amazing visuals/CGI. One thing that kept bugging me is the unnecessary family dialogues, there are just too many of them, and the way the story is told makes you wonder sometimes if you mistakenly skipped an episode cause you don't understand what is happening anymore. Ohh, the ending (season 3) sucks.",4
I have to say the relationship between the two main characters is abnormal and annoying.I don't think they are normal people,1
Director have no idea about Bangladesh. Director showed Bangladesh like any civil war country (Like Syria or Somalia). Very disgraceful.,1
"From the raves and reviews that my partner and I had read and heard, we were expecting an Academy Award Winning quality movie to rival the classics of all times. La La Land is not. It is not a movie to rival any great musical or comedy film. The movie is of a basic boy meets girl story-line; with a weak plot to follow. It is in no way in the same league as a ""West Side Story"" (1961) motion picture. I can see how it may be entertaining to the age group of 18 to 40 year old...maybe, but for those of us who know classic musical movies and plays, it is quickly realized that this movie is not to be a classic. Entertaining in parts, but not memorable. Some of the scenery of LA and surrounding area was well shot, but much of the cinematography was fast moving and narrowly focused, like the movie's plot. This writer's movie guest of the evening developed motion sickness from the jumpy and out-of-focus scene-to-scene action of the camera(s). No idea how this movie can be considered memorable for short-term memory enjoyment, or long-term entertainment reflections, much less how can it be considered Academy Award worthy.",3
"This movie can't seem to decide what it's target audience is. It would appear to be targeting gamers but then repeatedly goes out of its way to insult them in the script.

Aside from that, it's pretty cheesy but sort of fun. Ryan Reynolds is charming as always.",4
"This movie wasn't just a plastic fantastic teenage movie, or rather it wasn't at all plastic but rather fantastic, and was actually deep and with a ton of messages and pointers about being a daughter, a mother, a Woman, a human being . I laughed at times, was blown away at times because it really mastered the sparkle and magic of the universe of Barbie, but I was also touched to tears at time- and I left the cinema with a feeling of having seen something important. A thing I actually hadn't expected. This is not just a movie about Barbies, but a movie about starting life with dreams, expectations, innocence, naïveté and how those things just doesn't always match reality- it's about making choices of who we want to be/ not wanting to be. Barbie can be anything (poor Ken is just Ken- a really relatable feeling being a woman living in a man's world)- do we want to be the product or do we want to make an impact of the product?

Wether you are a daughter or a mother, young or old, watch this movie.

My daughter said that when she left the cinema she understood something about her mother she hadn't really fully realized before: her mother has also once been a girl moving into womanhood like her self. She had somehow been too busy rebelling that she never thought about that.",9
"""Spider-Man 2"" is even better than its predecessor. The characterization goes much deeper and the relationships get more complicated. Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker lets us know something that most superhero movies don't: being a superhero is a real time-sucker. His yearnings - for his own life, to be a better student, for Mary Jane Watson - are poignant and you find yourself agreeing that yes, he should be able to live life without the responsibility of keeping people safe and alive. But looking away is hard to do...

Kirsten Dunst's Mary Jane has really grown since the last movie. She's confident, has a thriving career, and won't put up with Peter's crap even if she does still love him. By the end (and a happy ending at that!) she's proven that she's not a damsel-in-distress but someone who doesn't need to be shielded from the difficulties of life.

Solid performances by all of the cast, many hints about future flicks, and all-around good fun. The only complaint I have (and it's not a very big one) is how many times Peter whips off that mask for people....",9
"Everything flows, everything changes. And the superhero movies are no exception. The times of characters whose human side resorted to a single facial expression are over, now the world wants to see heroes who are more human than godlike.

Steve Rogers, a character I hardly knew before the new era Marvel films, is arguably the most prominent landmark of that switch. He started off as a human, whose humanity was his only strength, and remained a human even after having been turned into that super powerful machine called Captain America. Batman, Hulk or Iron Man are all fancy and stuff, but it's Captain America whose films make it one level deeper and one step further into blending the CGI action and the real drama of human relationships.

Last two times these Cap's qualities were used to fight super villains. Now, when there seem to be no sinister forces on the horizon, Steve Rogers must face a new challenge, coming from within the very nature of the world he pledged to defend, and from the very league of extraordinary gentlemen he's teamed up with to do it. Of course, we are our own worst enemies, so there's nothing new. But when politics starts meddling in, there's no worst thing that couldn't get any worse.

There's no point re-telling the events of CA:CW. However it's clear that Marvel really wanted to push every aspect of the film to the limit, even the smallest details. Because when even for the small episodic roles you cast such solid figures as Martin Freeman and Marisa Tomei, it's clear that you don't want to leave anything to chance. And since the action was always a selling point for the Marvel movies, one can be sure that CA:CW won't fail to deliver.

Yet, while exploring the almost uncharted territories of the questions like whether humans should try to subdue a force that they can't control or whether a public consensus is worth casting aside your personal beliefs, this film treads a bit too carefully, unwilling to burn any bridges leading to the old unanimous days. The antagonism between Tony Stark's corporate ways and Steve Rogers' faith in individual freedom was clearly there from the very first meeting of the two guys, and The Age of Ultron has brought in Stark's overprotective and paranoid delusions. Yet, as the conflict unfolds in a more violent way, no side manages to move it past the point of no return, either by incapability or by unwillingness and forgiveness. Which, despite the fact that our superheroes don't shy away from publicly flashing their bruises and black eyes anymore, is a promise of a happy ending one bit too obvious to be compelling.

CA:CW is without a doubt an excellent and gripping movie, and letting the second echelon of Avengers participate on par with Captain America and Iron Man was a pleasant refreshment which hopefully will lead to their characters having enough depth in the future. And of course thank you Marvel for introducing the new incarnation of Spider-Man, because even though we saw Tom Holland for just about ten minutes, he is already more natural and appealing as Spidey than Andrew Garfield was throughout both of his films.

Yet despite a bit of green in the blue of his eyes, Captain America is still way too flawless, both outlook- and performance-wise. And no millions of dollars in school grants, political approval or traumatized past make Tony Stark's flaws genuinely appealing. So there might be a civil war going on, but when it doesn't induce an inner conflict in yourself, dividing you in half and making you guess which side is the good side, there's only so much engagement such war could provide.",8
"It's Hawaii 5-0 meets a blizzard and women's lib! I absolutely love Marge and Norm--their relationship is the excellent counterpoint to the Lundegaard family and a lot of American movies of the last 2 decades. America needs more films depicting couples such as the former.

It's one of the few dark comedy movies I really like in that it doesn't make a mockery of the the fact of what happens to its victims but goes to other angles for the laughs--mostly the reactions of the ones discovering the bodies, the occasionally high-strung ""funny looking guy"" criminal helping Jerry, the accents and the food. It's MHO that one who doesn't have an appetite before turning on this movie regain it within the first 45 minutes and especially after the scene of Marge in the restaurant.

What wasn't funny was Grimsrud--indeed I found him to be one of the scariest characters in recent movie history.

Who was absolutely adorable was police-person Marge, smart sweet and ""connecting"" all things together.",9
A big waste of time.. senseless dialogues ugly in all ways.. the worst comedy film ever released.. a big waste.,1
"Tom Hanks. Dreamworks Entertainment. Need I say more? This picture was corny.

Bridge of Spies follows the true story of a Cold War era insurance lawyer called upon by his country to first defend and then later negotiate the exchange of Soviet spy Rudolph Abel, who looks and sounds weirdly like Sean Connery. Hanks (Mr. Mom, Sully) reprises his reluctant hero role from the Dan Brown series as Jim Donovan, an ordinary man thrust into extraordinary circumstances. It had that True Lies if-they-only-knew element to it.

The KGB character was played sympathetically, replete with his own catch phrase (was that really necessary?). The closest thing this film has to an antagonist is Donovan's CIA handler. He's ""mean,"" because he doesn't abuse the trust placed in him the way Donovan does, changing mission prerogatives on a personal whim because believes he knows better. The object is an American student being held for sedition by the East Germans. Hanks wants to take him back. The Americans don't value him. So, Hanks hijacks his own hostage swap to make the kid part of the deal. Patriotism is one of the themes, along with loyalty and reputation.

This film could have used more spycraft and intrigue. They could have done a lot more with the story. Suspense and courtroom drama were missing. The plot focuses on the character's personal life, without fleshing it out. Amy Ryan (Gone Baby Gone, Birdman) shines as the wife, but it's a bit part. Donovan's family bares the brunt of public scorn for his defense of an infamous foreign operative. Donovan seems to be stating nonverbally that they'll get over it, it's for the greater good, without bothering to even say as much, against the backdrop of 20th Century nuclear fear. He's sacrificing in strong silence. Or whatever.

Bridge of Spies wants to be a ""message movie"" but the didactic is fuzzy, at best. In defense of Abel, Hanks cites the US Constitution. This raises the question as to how the Constitution applies to the case at hand? I must have missed the part dealing with the rights of foreign nationals to spy on America. Donovan avoids the question by simply circulating back to the Constitution itself. It is because it is. Logic is not met with logic. Donovan is not a fighter for critical thinking.

Someone recently called Matt Damon the ""Jimmy Stewart of the generation."" I would nominate Tom Hanks for that dubious honor. Methinks Mr. Spielberg should get with the times. The classic formula is less relevant in today's marketplace of media and devoid of creativity. It's cheese with a side of schmaltz.",3

Admittedly, there are some Clever Kills and Excitement Going On Now and Then but it All Gets Blurry and Buried Among the Excruciating Excess.

The Movie is a Feast for Adrenalin and Action Addicts, with a High-Tolerance for this Type of Thing, and is Served-Up with No Apologies for the Hedonists to Over-Indulge.

Probably a Love it or Hate it Film, and You Probably Know Going-In where Your Allegiance Aligns.

Worth a Watch or Not Accordingly.",6
"I really love the concept of this show. In an over crowded genre this show really stands out. I love the characters. There are those you love and those your supposed to hate but love. I love how the writers push the boundaries on what's acceptable to show on a tv more and more as each season passes. There have been many, many ""did I just see that moments."" It is fun, it is crude, it is just pure entertainment at it's best from start to finish. I just love this show. Each season has improved on the previous one. I can't wait for its return for season 4. Surely deserves to start picking up some serious awards.",9
"After a career spanning almost six decades, Steven Spielberg strikes gold yet again with this autobiography that feels deeply personal.

The Fabelmans, very aptly named as it gives focus and attention to seemingly all characters equally, opens with a shot of a family in front of a cinema. We see a mother and a father excited to take their son to his first expedition to the movies. They're excited for him because they know how seeing your first film can be a very special experience. And it is. For the young Sammy, pictures of a train crashing into a car haunt him and he just can't seem to be able to get them out of his mind. He feels scared, excited, confused and decides that he should take the matter into his own hands, so he takes his father camera and recreates the scene with his toys and shoots it. It's incredible how Spielberg managed to capture a lot of revealing moments about the characters and present them to the audience so transparently. The moment Sammy falls in love with film, the moment he stops seeing his mother as an all-powerful and faultless parent and starts seeing her as a human being for the first time, and when his uncle so vividly explains to him that he'll pursue his dreams or be miserable if he doesn't.

Gabriel LaBelle does a fine job in his role of Sammy, Seth Rogen is a pleasant surprise in a somewhat different role of Bennie to what he usually does, Paul Dano does a great job of portraying the father of the family but the absolute star of the show is Michelle Williams. And what can you say about Steven Spielberg himself. After doing so many different films so well, he manages to do another original and new story that truly cements him as one of the greatest directors of all time, all the while giving viewers that magical feeling of happiness that stems from knowing you're watching something special on the big screen. Thank you, Mr. Spielberg for making me rediscover my love for the art of cinema and putting a smile on my face.

This is a must see for anyone considering themselves a genuine fan of film and cinema, so if you liked Nuovo Cinema Paradiso this is a film for you to see, and if you haven't, well, go and watch it the first time you get a chance.",9
"Nothing special.. it was a 1st Indian Netflix original so hyped by Netflix and Indian audience. Normal story but hyped by Netflix by just taking Nawazuddin sidhque.. and why take saif ali khan, he is not getting any movie so just take care of his children, waste off time watching the series until ur a nawaz fan..",5
"This is probably the worst Sci-Fi movie I've seen in years... - Pity as it really had potential considering the Actors involved. Above all, the story is totally insane! Just ask yourself - why would a technologically superior race be a monarchy? Wakanda is a peaceful race, yet they have weapons that can easily obliterate the Earth. The whole society is deeply traditional that even their king can be challenged to a duel where he/she can be killed... Nothing, really nothing in this film makes sense. This is one of those blockbusters you watch today, and tomorrow you will not remember a single good thing about it, so save your time and find a better movie to see.",2
"But not that good cause timeline is confusing as hell, but i liked it , I hope it would be better in next season",9
"You either love. Or you hate it. {Just borrowing a slogan there..........}

I watched this movie when it first was released, and I could not get into it at all back then. Tried again now, and got bored very quickly. To those people who love this film, OK, you get it. But it is not for me, sorry. Slow and kind of stupid. I love Laurence Fishburne as an actor, but a lot of the other actors are really cheesy. As for Keanu Reeves, well, quite dreadful. The sets are nothing special, and the slow-mo bits in the film really become annoying. It's a shame, because the story idea is not bad. Just needs to be a better movie.",2
"A kind of raunchy story of a ""famous"" TV star and her boyfriend who break up and then accidentally vacation at the same hotel in Hawaii, her with her new boyfriend, he alone, to lament his break up. They get together again as her boyfriend leaves, but, it doesn't last as he has found someone else. Funny but nonsensical and many unnecessary references to sexual activity.",4
"What a terrible let down! Season one was pretty good in my opinion (as someone who as not read the books) but I did get a bit of the cliche vibe that everyone mentions coming with the first season. HOWEVER, I stuck it out until second season and I have to say it was a colossal waste of time. It's the plot holes, lack of decent character development, awful script, bad chemistry, and cliche damsel supposed to have awesome powers still in distress for me sis.",1
"Although this movie has been a mediatic racket, I must say that they are more words than what the film really is, without a doubt Guillermo del Toro is not a bad director, but I think media and some nomination for some prices have made an ocean out of a glass of water.

The movie itself is not bad, it is somewhat slow, but had to be like that since it is more a romantic plot than nothing else, but it has good things of which we can talk.

Let's start asking ourselves: is it a movie to win the Oscar for the best movie?

the answer is a NO, and to give it would only confirm the little validity that the academy has to choose the winner, however I believe that this film deserves at least a nomination for photography, in terms of music, costumes, script, I do not think it deserves nomination since there was nothing special about these.

Let's talk about photography, Possible oscar

The photography is based on a hard lighting, based on making the environment and the shapes stand out, giving them the greatest visual importance, and that is this film, a visual guide in a time not so past, where the black and white issues, where the sexual taste were taboos, which shows you a perspective of an impossible romance.

Takes in its development good camera angles, although in some shots I think it took more movements with dolly, that would have given a better reach to the scene, open shots predominate, always guiding the viewer as we mentioned earlier that this will enter more in the environment than in the history of a romance. Even the lighting that is the same from beginning to end fits perfectly in each shot.

So you should watch the movie, Yes, you would love it, depends , if u like romance drama yes, if your more into a interesting story, the answer is no.",5
"This series started off well; great characters, storylines and action. But as always in todays American shows, levels of emotional incompetence direct storylines. The ideas are good, the acting flawless, as is the CGI and the variations of events can be quite engaging, but its those moment of stupidity which spoil the scenes.

Military agents suddenly become soap-opera victims over little things, displaying over-the-top responses to enemy plans, and selfish decisions to save their plans for the world. Great show to watch and definitely worth seeing to the end.....if you don't mind the odd 'days-of-lives' moment here and there, and the occasional 'bold-and-beautiful' reaction.",7
Not sure why the score is so low. It is as good as any other action movie out there. I enjoyed it.,7
"So Sophia Coppola couldn't act her way out of a wet paper bag when her own father put her in Godfather 3....

So she thinks she can write and direct now? I swear to God critics get paid to think because I don't see how this movie got such outstanding reviews. If you want to like this movie-- fine, that's okay by me. However, don't look at me like i have a penis growing out of my forehead when i say ""I don't like Lost in Translation"".

Everyone has their favorite movies and we all have our guilty pleasures that we hate to admit that we like--I feel extremely embarrassed when I admit to people that I actually enjoyed ""Lady in the Water"". However, the hype this movie received, I believe, was very undeserving.

My recommendation: See it if you want to and make up your own mind. Don't like this movie because everyone else tells you its good.",2
"Lots of spectacle, clever banter & special effects. Lousy ending. It's really just a trailer for the sequel. I wasted my money.",2
Not riveting but good entertainment...an ok to watch with the kids which can be hard to do with other shows. Looking forward to the next season.,9
"I wasn't a big fan of Captain America: The First Avenger, but looked forward to seeing The Winter Soldier due to the trailers and early reviews. Captain America: The Winter Soldier delivers one of the best films Marvel have made so far. There's plenty of action in the film to keep you entertained as well as a conspiracy that will have you guessing as the film progresses. The overall tone of the film is more serious than the previous Captain America film, but still finds room for plenty of humour. I have found Chris Evans to be quite dull in his role of Captain America in previous films, but his best performance as the character so far is definitely in The Winter Soldier. Scarlett Johansson gives an impressive performance as Black Widow and steals a lot of the scenes she's in. Samuel L. Jackson is as great as ever in his role as Nick Fury. I think the film did an excellent job of how they portrayed The Winter Soldier and Sebastian Stan did a fine job as the character. I would definitely like to see Anthony Mackie as The Falcon again in future Marvel films. I also enjoyed the fact UFC Welterweight Georges St-Pierre made a brief appearance. Overall I give Captain America: The Winter Soldier an 8 out of 10. It's a must for any Marvel fan!",8
"Great show don't get me wrong I just get irritated by daredevil (Matt), he's just not lethal, he portrays the 'ideal' Christian and just won't kill anyone whereas punisher is more severe.",9
"... And then there's the good ol' FOURTH type of movie watcher: he/she that watches to be entertained AND can appreciate the art of a film. Now, I have NOTHING against the directing abililty of the Coen brothers, even in Fargo... and I certainly thought the acting was very well done. However, the story did not satisfy me, and overall I did not enjoy watching this film. Thus, despite any positives, I can hardly give it a good review. Enjoyment goes a long way in a movie. (Ex: Citizen Kane is an innovative masterpiece, but I would never watch it for fun. That's my opinion. The Third Man is ALSO a directing masterpiece, but I WOULD watch it for fun. It entertains me much more than Citizen Kane.) I try not to label those who liked Fargo as inane or holier- than- thou just because I didn't like it.",5
"I watched it for McDormand and Harrelson. The plot was ok. The dialogue was often a joke; but this is not comedy. Nothing about the style or content of this movie is funny. There are a few funny lines, however, many dramas have that. It is a drama. There's nothing parody or satirical about this, nor is it a funny movie. The characters are unbelievable. Writers seem to be box-ticking for social credit scores: racist white cops, rednecks in the south, etc. There's no logic to people's actions. The cop isn't a good guy trying to get out. The mother is irrational, so is the father. The chief is most likeable, yet he's spend all these years not trying to find more answers in the case. Nothing like a classic movie. A sub par one. Sad, given the good cast.",4
"Don't compare it to GOT. It's not meant to be a copy or fill that hole.

It has great action, great characters, a little comedy in certain parts. Cavil is awesome as Geralt and Yennefer the mage is an awesome character as well.

I have found that it has been more than 5 years since I have agreed with anything the critics say they are terrible. This show has some serious promise

I am adding after seeing the ending. The show was not making sense when it came to timelines. Stick it out and you'll get it and it makes it so much better. What an amazing show",9
"Watched half the show which just DRAGS on so much. It tries to pose as serious sci-fi, but it's not. It's poorly written fantasy posing as Sci-Fi. This isn't Primer, or Dark, or anything even remotely entertaining, like Butterfly Effect.

Characters do stupid things because the plot needs to happen. That's the show.",2
"I wanted this movie to be fun and witty, with some twists and turns that resulted in a decent Friday night experience. However, this movie ""makes less sense than Cloud Atlas"" (actual quote by the boyfriend). The writers/directors tried desperately to make more twists and turns than is possible in any realm of reality or fiction, there was little to no character development, and I was disappointed. You can tell that they spent a TON of money getting wonderful actors, awesome lighting and special effects, but it was wasted because even though we are pretty smart people, very little about the magic tricks and especially the ending made any sense whatsoever. I gave this movie 6/10 for its visual effects and camera work, but the story sucks. There's a line ""always be the smartest guy in the room,"" and it feels like the writer was obsessed with being smarter than his own audience, which is insulting and lame.",6
"Uncut Gems is directed by the Safdie Brothers and stars Adam Sandler, Idina Menzel, Lakeith Stanfield and Kevin Garnett among others and it revolves around this sleazy jeweler always looking for the next big deal while being chased by his past unsuccessful ones.

I really didn't like this movie, at all. The sound was terrible everyone yelling to the point where it is recognizable who and what is someone saying. The story is predictable and quite honestly dumb. The only reason why this movie gets a 3 instead of a 2 or 1 is that it did put me at the edge of my seat at times, not because it was unpredictable what was going to happen but because it was that unnerving.",3
"I watched Lost in Translation. I'm surprised to be writing this, because I know that most people really enjoyed it, and I thought that I was going to like it too. But, in all honesty, I hated it. I didn't just kind of dislike it, but I found it one of the hardest things to sit through ever. Half way through I really wanted to turn it off, but I was sure that it was going to get better. It didn't. I disliked the story, I disliked the music, I really hated the mood and atmosphere that the movie created. I found it depressing. One redeeming quality that this film offers is that the acting is actually not bad. Bill Murray does a good job, although I thought that his acting in Royal Tenenbaums was far superior. It's as though, actually, they were trying to re-create the feel of The Royal Tenenbaums for this picture, and were unable to do so. Save your money and rent something else.",1
"The first series was great. Unapologetic, ruthless and devoid of political intent. It was refreshing to see Hollywood back something like this - super hero's that displayed more realistic Human traits like jealousy and callous rage.

And then Series 2 came along and all of a sudden there were these tiresome political platitudes seeping in. It was like new writers had come in, but I'm inclined to say it was actually planned to hook us in and then feed us what we actually expect to see in a Marvel film.

Looking back, the writing was actually on the wall where ""The Boys"" slowly started to become ""The Boys and Girls"". But you may be wondering what clichés I am now talking about. No offence, but if you can't see them, then it is already too late for your tired and clumsy saturated mind that is afraid to actually express itself.

A nazi super hero at the forefront? Check.

A sickly Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lookalike politician who is woke? Check - and of course ""The Boys and Girls"" look pathetic in her midst.

Homelander now dating the nazi superhero and now a racist himself? Check

The introduction of carefully placed symbols deliberately included to evoke feelings of justice, like Homelander's painting on the side of a barn with his cape replaced with the confederacy flag? Check. This is despite him being mates with A-Train...a black man.

Anti white racist scriptwriting? Check - here is an example of this ""I can't lash out some aging entitled maniac, that's a white mans luxury"" - what? This is said by one of the richest and powerful men in the series lol. Pathetic.

They should have stuck to what they started with. The first series was legitimately fantastic, with a less politically motivated storyline, which at the end of the day - when I want to watch entertainment, I want to be entertained - not see a slow burn transition from A-Grade Hollywood, to Fail Grade Hollywoke.",3
"Season 1 was great, knowing that I haven't read the books.

Waiting two years for that second season, such a disappointment. It was quite boring, Ciri was annoying, the storyline was messy, not even so many good action scenes, the first season was way better.

I do hope they will change the screenwriters before starting season 3.",3

"Jennifer Lawrence is a rather versatile actor. Whether she's playing the leader of a revolution in The Hunger Games or a metaphorical Mother Nature in mother!, Lawrence is known for being as much of a chameleon with her acting as her character of Mystique is in the X-Men franchise. With Red Sparrow, Lawrence portrays Dominika, a desperate woman looking to take care of her sick mother, and will do this by any means necessary. The means are becoming a Red Sparrow, a special Russian operative who uses his or her body in order to seduce people for the betterment of the country. Dominika's task is to get close with an American CIA agent, played by Joel Edgerton. But it is never quite clear as to which side she is truly on, as she expertly plays both sides in this increasingly tense battle over intelligence between the two countries. Led by her Hunger Games director Francis Lawrence, Jennifer Lawrence turns in another great performance, even if the film itself is too long and slowly paced...",7
"Superbad is essentially about two things: the first is friendship, the second is alcohol. The movie is very well made on several levels because it explores both aspects while cleverly disguising them with laugh out loud humor. Superbad centers around Seth and Evan who need to get alcohol for a party so they can get the girls of their dreams. This basic plot line allows for some intensely hilarious situations, many of them centering around their friend Fogell or ""McLovin"" and his experience with two policemen.

The film is very honest about itself and while the language and sexual explicitness is pumped up to a very high level, it depicts several aspects of high school life relatively well. The friendship between Seth and Evan feels real which keeps the film from becoming a cesspool of sex jokes and drugs. It also takes a very negative stance on alcohol, as apparent in the final scenes of the movie.

The film does not contain a great deal of nudity, but the sexual dialog is stretched to a maximum. The dialog becomes almost gratuitous at parts, but usually offers some very funny moments. There is not a weak link in the cast, Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Seth Rogen and others do a great job as does director Greg Mattola on his first big project.

Superbad is a pleasant mix of witty humor, gross out jokes, and surprising devotion to it's morals. It achieves something more than just a funny movie, following in the footsteps of Knocked Up and Forty Year Old Virgin, although this time with a very different feel. It if nothing else is incredibly funny and offers some great future talent both in front of and behind the camera.",10
"Every scene is depressed, cliche, arguing. Every character is either sad and confused or sad and aggressive. The complete opposite of what a good person is. Started skipping through it after the first scene, and everywhere it landed it was exactly the same. - Depressed, cliche, pointless arguing.

The camera shots and production quality itself is pretty good.",1
"The show started off okay and held my interest until the dragon episode. The characters just aren't likeable really at all, and the show is just endless doom and gloom with excessive gore. Got too depressing for me to watch and gave up after this episode.",4
"The concept is good, but the movie is too complicated and has poor narration. Jennifer Lawrence does absolute justice to the character and so does the other members of the cast. In my opinion, the movie was only watchable due to Jennifer Lawrence's acting.",7
We loved it including children. Must watch movie. Enjoy,7
"A pro at playing a common middle class boy, Jitendra Kumar sleepwalks in his role of Abhishek Tripathi. As he relocates himself, the script explores the unfamiliarity and the discomfort that a city boy goes through. In many scenes, you can feel his helplessness in few frivolous situations.

The relationship between Manju Devi (Neena Gupta) and Pradhan (Raghuvir Yadav) as the head of the village is endearing. Their discussions, aimed at poking each other, help in taking the narrative of the show ahead with apt situational dialogues.

Vikas played Chandan Roy, the the side kick for Abhishek's character leaves an impression. As an assistant to the secretary, he gets enough meat to stand out.

Chandan Kumar, who wrote an earlier TVF series, Humorously Yours, is the man behind Panchayat. He manages to bring to the fore the simplicity of a village life where everybody goes to sleep at 7pm. Abhishek goes through the conflict of adjusting to this slow paced life with no social life over the weekends, no electricity, and no friends and you can feel the angst in him.

The makers know the pulse of their audience and crack it again by offering us this entertainer.",8
"Just the kind of movie we have been waiting for someone to make in tamil! once again an original from Lokesh Kanagaraj!. an interesting storyline?, or may be I can put it this way...a sequence of thrilling scenes with a simple story stitched tightly one after another just to keep us engaged throughout!. No unnecessary scenes!, no songs! no female lead!. Its a dream come true for action thrillers!. No spoilers here!. the director wrote something that is so apt for Karthi with some interesting touches to it!. Oh! and there are some surprises that truly deserves claps! and it did!. Unpredictable. Top-notch cinematography!. BGM in certain portions are so well done, even if not throughout. It's the writing that kept us glued to the screen!. What a ride! Go for this one!",10

Look forward to taking my son and daughter to see it very soon.",7

"When Loki, Orange is the new Black and Fallout 76 are tossed into a blender we get this new fresh Loki.

Seriously this is like giving Gary who is new to DnD a chance to DM a Friday Night Game.

The plot is as weak as Last Jedi, as in NO plan.

If this is what Post Covid entertainment looks like then congratulations Hollywood in helping people walk away from streaming to go out side and enjoy real life as all of Marvels new and fresh shows are as Dumpster Fire as 2020.

Seriously we follow Loki on his next adventure to TVA a run down DMV outside of time. We see the God of Mischief placed into a crime drama.

So instead of Ragnarok level fun we get CSI. Thanks but no thanks.",2
"The scripts, acting and filming raise the bar. Rarely have I watched a series from the UK to be so entertaining. Took me a while to catch up on this and so glad I did, deserves classic status for it's wit and originality (despite adapting a character created over 100 years ago).

Worth re-watching for the meticulous detail and lines that you might miss. Each episode is both standalone and linked, best watched from the beginning though I reckon.

Cumberbatch as Holmes is superb, as is Martin Freeman as Dr Watson and Una Stubbs as Mrs Hudson as the central characters.

The supporting cast are ok but there are standouts, Andrew Scott as Moriarty is particularly good, at 1st I thought he should be older but he comes across as convincingly deranged, menacing and cruelly playful.

Altogether a top bingeworthy watch.",9
"Barbie vs Oppenheimer, was an amazing event to take place, if you want to say they were even going against each other, it was very enjoyable to see this take place though.

But as for Barbie the movie was okay in my opinion, it was no doubt hilarious and joyful, I would probably rewatch it for that reason. But the movie itself just kind of lacked something, I think the story was okay, had some good messages. Some parts just didn't work well, the storyline of the daughter didn't make sense, because one scene she's mean and terrible then all of the sudden she's nice, just didn't work that well.

But overall it was just okay, probably won't watch it again.",6
"Three times I've begun Neil Gaiman projects (LUCIFER, AMERCAN GODS, GOOD OMENS) with interest in their theological premise and three times I've left them in disgust. His blasphemy sickened me. Now, I do know that Neil Gaiman is a talented and awarded writer. I also believe that he has been quite immersive in his study of his subject matter. And, I was always glad to see his name on a Doctor Who episode. But his recent treatment of Christian themes is cavalier (which I can overlook as an outsider's perspective) but in these productions he seems almost vindictive in his portrayal of Christian divinity. He is not only disrespectful but he is obscene in his portrayals. Is he that mad at Christians or at God? It feels personal. I abandoned both LUCIFER and AMERICAN GODS, because God and Jesus are personal to me and I was offended by his contempt, but, I finished this first season of Good Omens (partly because I'm a fan of David Tennant), but I can't say I liked anything about the series. It's a 6 (poor) out of 10 for me. I will watch other projects of Neil Gaiman because I admire his imagination, but not on these themes. I hope he hasn't fallen into this black hole of inspiration. {Fantasy Comedy}.",6
"It's a good movie but just like that. There's nothing special. The plotline more good than a quiet place for me. For intensity, a quiet place is better.

The movie is well-paced and creates a sense of tension throughout. The performances are good, particularly Bullock, who carries the film and gives a strong performance as an exhausted and desperate mother.

However, the plot can be somewhat predictable at times, and some aspects of the movie, such as the explanation for the force that causes people to commit suicide, are not entirely satisfying.

I hope it can be more bloody or gore because that includes the theme of the movie itself.",7
Very enjoyable series with a great cast and even greater music use. The characters grow on you and the story line is also captivating. Season 2 is better then 1 too in my opinion. Don't understand some of negative reviews as it's a different to other superhero centric shows. Although it has blood and gore and an impending doomsday storyline it's enjoyable and happy show and would definitely recommend people to give it a watch. I would say it's an acquired taste someone will like it some won't I for sure fall under the former.,9
"Those who like to refer to the golden age of the old Planet of the Apes movies should be forced to go back and watch them. The first one was a classic, though it's aged badly. The subsequent ones got worse and worse until they reached the point of being unwatchable. Burton's remake was marginally better but an unnecessary exercise.

Because of the diminishing returns of the old Apes movies I had no intention of ever watching the Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Indeed the fact that it was promoted as a CGI-fest was enough to deter me as I believe CGI to be responsible for some of the worst excesses of modern cinema. However, it was a rainy afternoon, I had nothing better to do and I found myself watching ""Rise of.."" etc., expecting I'd be bailing out within the first few minutes. To my surprise I watched it to the end and I enjoyed it.

This isn't some fiendishly clever film with lots of plot twists and top notch dialogue but it is a decent version of the hero's journey, with our hero being Caesar the ape. The characters, human and simian, are well developed on the whole and there's an emotional core to the film. Thankfully it isn't an action-fest though the showdown at the end is well done. The CGI is obvious, especially when you have scenes with masses of apes, but it's acceptable in this type of movie.

There's no point in whining about plot holes and believability – look, apes get intelligent and they take over the planet and you're expecting the story to be believable? Go and read a history book or two if that's what you're looking for. This film is better than I was expecting and it's a decent enough attempt to make a fun film with a few philosophical questions thrown in if you are inclined to think about them.",6
"Not even Francis Lawrence's solid direction can spice up what is one spy cliche after another, chock full of English actors doing Roshen accents and a doe-eyed Jennifer Lawrence acting less and less the more her character gets broken. It's entertaining and also harrowing in a popcorn sort of way. But it doesn't really say anything new and its messages are awash between stints of underexplained spy claptrap. Sets are good though, even if the photography, the dialogue and the music is all bland as balls.",5
Amazing plot. Its very amazing to see how the character of ganesh builts its zeal.,9
"My header says it all, if you've seen enough things than nothing will surprise you here except for maybe a few set pieces. It's a nice repackaging of a formula done before, the dialogue could've been improved for sure though, there's some real bad lines in this. Which is excuse if there was more to it, but this is a pure escapism movie through and through which is what Speilburg is known for, but there could've been more stakes and flaws in the characters, with more interesting things for them to talk about, and things more interesting to show.",3
"Robert Redford has had so uch bad plastic surgery, his eyes are literally crooked. Not the eye balls, but the sockets. They don't match anymore. And the guy is like 80 and still has blond hair? Really? He's shrivelled like a prune Please retire.

Do you need the money?

Oh and the other bad plastic surgery guy is Gary Shandlin. I take it he was looking to be taken seriously and that's why he made this movie, but the result is just the opposite.

The movie is typical fair for the suoer hero genre. Lots of loud shooting that desensitizes kids to violence, but no one can blame Hollywood on the school shootings because they are in bed with the Dems, just like the left media is.",5
"A decent action movie, but jokes are too many, forced and not funny.",6
How is this piece of bullcrap remotely related to Iran or North Korea???!!! Is cinema supposed to be the 7th art or an American propaganda against the countries who happen to be on the wrong side of Their alliance?! Do the producers even realise what they do to the innocent people of a nation by just dropping a country name to make a movie more amusing?! Absolutely disgraceful!! Art in its most commercial and cheap format!,1

"Very stunning story which shows us Islamic tells people love each other and director strongly rejects prejudice against true Islamic belief. A message to all humanity all nations and all religions stay away from prejudice. Also Shah Rukh Khan's acting was spectacular.He has given that mad effect There are two kind of people bads and goods .

Goods are always win at the end.

Rizvan Khan against all obstacles he is fighting to get love of his love Mandira Khan while he is throughly doing his belief needs. That movie must seen beyond all prejudice.

His acting, his comical timing and his realistic effect of autistic Rizwan should be commended.",9
"Both seasons are just plain boring. The characters are all unsympathetic - annoying and inconsequential flashbacks, absolutely no synergy among the cast members, limp scripts - action in the place of plot.

"This was a brilliant tv show. The characters were really funny and interesting. I never thought, that Loki would be a great main character. I liked his evolution and progression. It felt natural and understandable. Tom Hiddelston was fantastic and deserves some kind of recognition fir his role. The whole concept of the show was very intriguing. The villain at the end of the show is so great. His introduction was perfect and I can't wait to see what happens next.",9
"While Bradley Cooper is a better actor Imo than Kris Kristofferson, Gaga is no Streisand. But I had expected that. What I did not expect was that the two would simply do imitations of Kristofferson and Streisand, badly. Complete with the large nose. I was hoping for more.

Those that thought this a movie with an above 5 rating should watch the earlier movie and then re-watch this poorly imitated version and correct your mistake.",3
"I am a big fan of marvel but these new series are ruining marvel, Wandavision was also too much hyped up but didn't match up to everyone expectations. I mean the old marvel series like daredevil were far better than these Overrated ,slow theme series they are creating right now. Only these disney fanboys are increasing the rating else these new series are not even worth 5 stars of rating. Expecting them not to ruin the Loki series:(",5
"I don't have much expectation from Kangana's movie, hence didn't went When it was released. After 2-3 days i have received lots of positive review from my circle and saw IMDb rating, i was totally surprised and booked my ticket.

First 5-10 minutes i was feeling that i have wasted my money, but when the first song was over the movie comes into the track. I can't stop laughing till the end..I have seen many Bollywood comedy movies, but this one is very different and have very good story with the message. I Appreciate kangana acting, especially her simple look and comedy timing.

I think this one will be best movie of 2014. Must watch...",10
"You've probably read a dozen reviews some positive, some not so. let me just say that anyone who has too many negative words about this stunning sequel to an already great on going story, just doesn't get it. This is a comic book superhero who has become so real to children and adults alike simply because of great movie making and excellent scripts. What really impressed me about this movie is how well it follows the spirit of the Spiderman comic books without belittling the depth of the characters. All the actors do brilliant jobs, especially Albert Molina as Doc Oc who does a convincingly realistic and menacing supervillian who has lost all he loved. The director also has us on the edge with the love between MJ and Peter Parker...will it be realized?? Or do we have to settle for a Clark Kent Lois Lane scenerio? Like a rubber band, our emotions and expectations are toyed with and there are surprises and revelations!

With over the top action, some of which will have you about to jump out of your seat in shock, and a great story; Spiderman will not disappoint.",10
"It just wasn't good. Like at all. The first few episodes were an absolute snooze fest. I'd rather watch Malibus Most Wanted on repeat, narrated by Fran Drescher while getting donkey kicked in the bean bag, than watch this again.",3
"This movie was labelled a comedy, but there was hardly anything in it that made me even smile, let alone laugh. The plot might have some potential if the movie were done differently, but the character of Clementine is so devoid of any attractive qualities or redeeming virtues that I kept hoping What's-His-Name would come to his senses and realize what a blessing it was that she decided to end the relationship. There was nobody in this movie to like or admire. It was simply tedious. I kept hoping it would improve but it didn't so I turned it off after about an hour. This was disappointing, since Jim Carrie is usually worth watching, as is Kate Winslet--but not this time.",1
"After the first episode.

Great directors job, great shots and great arts.

But really surprised how it is possible for the authors to use in the story the most speculative cliches of soviet propaganda . Dyatlov like an antogonist? U serious? Yes Dyatlov was rigid (rough?stern?) -- but he wasn't an idiot. Legasov (the part of the system) like a protagonist? Legasov who advocated his bosses (the main ""authors"" of Chernobyl) -- Aleksandrov (the head of RBMK-reactor project) and Dollezhal (a chief designer of RBMK-reactor) in IAEA (INSAG-1 report in 1986)?

English director and american scriptwriter continued the soviet ""regime"" lies. Amazing.

P.S. hope the next episodes will open the story in another light.",5
"Not what I expected at all. Very boring to sit through, Terrible villains, Way way way too much stuff about the quantum realm, Movie seemed more of a rescue mission there instead of a action comedy movie. Some of the jokes get old like the suit not working right at all, And that cop hugging Scott and seeming like he's in love with him. This movie falls in the not as good as the first list marvel seems to be having from my point of view. GOTG Vol 2 wasnt good, The Winter Soldier wasnt that good. Dont get you're hopes up for a funny or action packed movie.",3
"Slow moving, boring drudge, star studded cast but may as well have cast unknowns, Daniel Craig's accent makes me want to punch the TV when he talks & the twist was neither unexpected or surprising. 2 stars purely for the cast. Could possibly be prescribed for insomnia.",2
"The movie is awesome, the characters, the story, the hero and the villian. Comparing to the first film, this one is superior in every aspect. Sam Raimi really makes this spiderman special, special in the way that ""normal"". Peter is just a high schooler who tries to balance his life, Peter Parker and Spideman, result in losing his job, relationship,.. Doc Ock as a villant is fantastic in the movie. Best movie ever baby!

Pizza time.",10
"I didn't care for this film. In fairness, I didn't realize it was a romantic comedy. I expected a heavy drama for some reason.

The basics of the storyline are cliché'd, like all RomComs. I couldn't help but suspect that they tacked on the dance scenes to profit from the ""celebrity dancing"" craze currently on television.

I don't think Bradley Cooper is a particularly good actor and I expect him to be doing ""Indie films"" within a couple of years. The scenes with him and the female lead are cringeworthy and lack chemistry.

This isn't a terrible film, but for the life of me I don't understand why it's getting such high ratings. I suppose it's more watchable than your average RomCom, which isn't saying much.

This movie is also very blue collar.",5
Whilst the cinematography is beautiful the movie is slow and at times down right boring. Some great actors who spend less than two minutes on screen leave you wanting more interaction. Definitely one to miss at the cinema.,4
Not a good sign for phase 4 movies. The soul is gone after Avengers Endgame.,1
"Let me start out by saying that most of the charm in the original KFP was found in getting to know Po (Jack Black), Master Shifu and the Furious 5. The plot was fairly unspectacular and served only to pad the gaps between the action sequences. Well Dreamworks can't use the 'getting to know them' shtick anymore.

We know that Po was a starry eyed son of a goose with no Kung Fu skills. We know that he coincidentally was nominated by an elderly short sighted turtle to be trained by a surly possum named Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) alongside a praying mantis, snake, crane, tiger and monkey to become the Dragon Warrior, saving China from danger.

Re-read that… Anyway this time we know all that, so all they have to 'wow' us is the action sequences and the plot. The action sequences are effective and occasionally as awe-inspiring as the posters demand we must find them. The plot is actually pretty thin and derivative, and is actually where Kung Fu Panda comes perilously close to Kung Phooey.

This time around Po is instructed by Master Shifu to find inner peace in order to save China from Shen (Gary Oldman), a naughty peacock banished from China as a… chick I guess – who dreams of taking over the country with his army of wolves and other nasty looking creatures through the introduction of weapons, with which he plans to kill kung-fu! Shen is particularly concerned that the Soothsayer (Michelle Yeoh) has foretold Shen's death at the hand of a black and white entity – gee wonder who that might be? Meanwhile Po and the Furious 5 are now local legends and spend their days as peacekeepers in the area, defeating ne-er-do-wells with kung-fu skills and exceptional teamwork. In a convenient revelation just before Po heads off to save the day he finds that his Father the goose is actually perhaps not his real Father after all… who woulda thunk it? So off Po and the 5 go to kill two birds with one stone, only in this case there is in actuality but one bird, and they eschew weapons in favour of kung-fu, leaving the bird to use the 'stones' in his newly invented cannons.

In Kung Fu 2 Master Shifu takes a noticeable step into the background, appearing only a few times through the film, Tigress (Angelina Jolie) steps up to almost co-star duties, with her serious and determined ying counterpointing Po's casual and carefree yang. The rest of the Furious 5 retain their famous voices but are consigned to being mere comic relief and being momentarily spotlighted in the frequent battles that dominate the second half of the film.

Of course in between battles Po learns of his true origins alternately through interactions with Shen and the Soothsayer, and continues to search for his own inner peace deemed necessary to defeat his many feathered foe. This leads to an all star animal showdown with fur and feathers flying all over the shop in intricately choreographed and animated ways, and I don't think I am letting the cat out of the bag by saying that at the end of the day 'skadoosh goes the weasel'.

As with the original Kung Fu Panda the action sequences and growling menacing animals might prove a little much for the tots under say 7, but even though this was reasonably similar to the original film the action carries the bulk of Kung Fu 2, and the moving sequence that ends the film will leave you heading home with a warmer feeling than perhaps the slightly hackneyed story deserves.

Final Rating – 6.5 / 10. Not the best animated movie you'll see this year (Rango will take some beating), but also not the most blatant shoulda been direct to DVD cash grab that I've seen.",6
"It's the best time travel anime ever made. At first 5-8 episodes you might not like this anime much,but don't drop this anime.continue watching it and trust me after you complete this anime,it would be in your top anime lists for sure.",9
"Seasons 1-2 were fantastic and a breath of fresh 80s in our lives. Really Stephen Kingy kids gang style that we all love. Unfortunately season 3 was unwatchable. Haven't watched season 4 yet, but I would say season 3 should be skipped all together, it is a complete mess.",6
"Have you ever walked into a room with two people having a loud and aggressive argument and just felt uneasy about it being in the same space?

Well that's kind of how this whole film feels like. It's aggressive, argumentative and tense from the start to the end. It feels like there's never a moment of silence or room to breathe, and I think that is the point of it. You're meant to be feeling tense throughout the film as you watch the protagonist make one bad thoughtless decision after another, surrounded by his own chaos and that becomes the mood of the film.

I can't personally say that I as much ""enjoyed"" because I felt restless constantly, but at the same time I was entertained by it and it was difficult to look away due to it's intensity. The plot is a bit weak and the directing style and characters don't quite suit my taste, but I admit that the film makes up for it with a great acting performance by Adam Sandler (who's films I've never traditionally been a fan of).",5
I absolutely love this show. Just wish that included more of the book's detail so that there can be more episodes. But otherwise it is a really good adaption.,10
"I'm sort of drawing comparisons to Animal House or Porky's, it's not really but it's of that Ilk. It's good enough...The Police are brilliant! Nothing more to say...",8
"Brilliant cinematography, real planes flying, real destruction of planes, the most real as possible, that's always great for films and it's one of Nolan's best quality as a director, he want real things happening on camera, and of course Hans Zimmer original score is also brilliant.

The non-linear narrative is intelligent, the mole sequences fell longer, in a good way, because the characters spend 1 week there, the sea sequences are a little bit more faster because the characters spend 1 day there and the air sequences are even faster because the characters spend 1hour there, when the 3 got together is the climax, or at least should be, that's is when the non-linear storytelling gets a little messy, some of the sequences in the third act are not puted in the best way, but the whole movie is so extremely well made in his technical stand points, written full of suspense and with an amazing original score by Hans Zimmer, that a lot people's don't realize that or they just don't care.

The most negative point like i said is that some scenes don't fit very well in the non-linear agitation of the film, especially in the last half hour, and for a non-linear movie this is bad, but like i said, with all the qualities that this films has, this is not going to ruin the experience to watch.

This film is also not made to be most remembered about the acting, which is not necessarily a bad thing, some peoples also says that the characters are kinda weak, which is not actually true, sure they are not as strong like the characters in Saving Private Ryan for example, but they are strong, the film just don't focus too much on them, the film is most interested on what happened in Dunkirk during that particular time in World War II. All that said, Mark Rylance is really good in this movie, he has the best lines and Cillian Murphy is also very good. My Rating: 7/10",7
"Boring predictable completely unbelievable script The big motorbike jump stunt was completely wasted on bad camera work

It just drones on & on I really liked the MI series but giving up on it now Tom cruise has good screen presence but let down such a poor film.

Maybe it's made for 6 to 13 years old ?

Shame 1st James Bond went down hill then this.

I found myself just switching off half way through ( me not the film I was at cinema big mistake )

I think quality of films are reducing , I've decided to wait until they come onto the stream services then I really can just switch off if no good.",2
"I loved the Witcher games and thought the story telling in them was far superior than the first season of this series though I know the series is based on the books but one csnt deny that the story is very disjointed and it mainly falls on how much they tried to fit in 8 episodes (which is what ruined season 8 of Game of Thrones). The timelines are a mess and a lot of things are not explained making this series very hard to understand especially if you are not acquainted with the witcher universe. I began watching it with my girlfriend and had to keep pausing it to explain things like the conjunction of spheres, how witchers are made and the different factions etc because names and jargon are thrown about assuming you already know what they mean and who they are.

The cast were great though I'm not a fan of the actress who plays Ciri but in general everyone seems to nail their role pretty well. The vfx could be better especially after watching game of thrones the effects are quite laughable in this series in comparison and netflix needs to invest more into that.

I really hope they make season 2 longer and make it cohesive because I love the witcher lore and want this series to succeed because I was hyped for it since it was announced.",5
"I absolutely loved The Boys plot. It's pretty unique, and fun. With that being said, I try to limit the amount of filth I watch, and unfortunately, this show seems to add it without cause. Its gratuitous nature was quite offputting. I did appreciate the fact that they did seem to darken scenes that might come off as offensive, but why even put them in there at all? At times I felt very uncomfortable watching, to the point of just turning it off. However the plot is what kept me coming back. It's unfortunate when there's such a good plot line, and great acting, but writers still feel the need to muck it up. I've seen many TV shows rated TV-14 that were excellent. The plot and acting held up the show. Adult content doesn't equal better. Let your writing and acting speak for itself. Tone it down a little, and I think you'll broaden your audience.",5
Totally non-plussed by this film. I can understand why the critics didn't like it. It's the sort of film you watch if there is nothing else to do.,5
"Loong, boring movie about men at their worst, that is, long scenes of subdued, indirect, emotionless dialog, punctuated with quick scenes of violent bloodshed. All De Nero et al. did much was make this-is-the-face-I-make-instead-of-the-face-I-would-make-if-I-was-going-to-let-you-know-how-I'm-really-feeling faces, and that kind of acting isn't enough to sustain such a loooong movie. The most interesting performance was by a woman who played the Irishman's daughter in a brief scene where she told him what a crappy dad he'd been. Other than that, it was all as dull as the 50s, 60s, and 70s interior set design. And, OK, maybe that's all historically accurate, but it wasn't great storytelling; great storytelling shouldn't put you to sleep. The only thing it has going for it is the historic aspect (the only reason I kept watching).",2
"This throws you back in time and keeps things colorful and interesting, has great humor, thrills and cool cgi. Pretty good blend between quirk, fun and a sci-fi almost-horror type show. Acting is also incredibly solid.

Season 3 was pretty amazing in my opinion mostly due to it's pacing, it had Game Of Thrones type split scenes with different people in different places, keeping you interested as the episode cuts from scene to scene, it all slowly comes together leading to a pretty satisfying ending and a taste for more.",9
"I love fantasy, was always happy with every Netflix original I chose based on description here. For watching this, it should be an absolute obligation to play the game or read the books, otherwise it is a huge waste of time. I do not get the decision to make it like this and exclude so many fantasy fans, who just skipped this title. I made it trough 6 episodes just because Henry Cavill is quite unresistable hoping everything will make more sense deeper in the season. Bad mistake, it makes less and less sense. Sorry Henry, great acting, but even that can´t save everything.",5
"To be exact I probably say this is a 9.5/10.

This movie works on so many levels. It is so amazing and is a great follow up from Captain America: The Winter Solder. There are so many great and amazing moments in this film and they all work and it doesn't fill to crammed in. The Russo Brothers have done what Joss Whedon was unable to do in Age of Ultron which is find a way to connect all these MCU movies in a way that makes sense.

The movie starts off with all of this political drama that is going on in what are some of the most emotional scenes I have ever seen in my life. There all so interesting and they work on so many levels. The film makes you almost want to well up in tears at times with just how good it is.

I will admit it does going on a little too long, but it still keeps you invested and makes you want to no more and learn about these characters, and how they are feeling.

This movie also makes Iron Man 3 relevant again. Something I thought Ultron would do but didn't. In the film we get this broken down Tony Stark who is wounded and hurt so much by what had happened previously. He has lost Pepper now and finds himself alone without anyone else. He is more angry now and more unhinged because he created Ultron who almost destroyed the world.

This movie makes you understand why Iron Man has chosen to take the side of the people and protect them by locking the avengers up.

However it also lets you see Captain America's side who is against the government because he seen the corruption within them after Hydra had taken over. You also see that he desires to protect Bucky who he loves dearly.

Both have there reasons and you get that and you really don't want them to fight and it makes you feel so sad when they do.

The standout stars were great.

Black Panther had a full arc here. He started on one path and ends on another. It is amazing and makes a full circle that is interesting and compelling. Chadwick Boseman also gives off a great performance and accent as well that makes it even better. I really liked that Black Panther didn't tell any jokes or quips. He didn't care he was all business.

Spider Man was also great too. This is the Spider Man I wanted since I watched Spectacular Spider Man in the 90s as a kid. He is young, a kid and not so overly hot make actor. He is just the nerdy Peter Parker and I like that.

Scarlet Witch and Vison's relationship was also great. I liked the humor there.

I also liked Black Widow who gave her all.

Really just all the Avengers did well in this film.

This film does a good job mixing its humor with its serious moments. One never over takes the other. It all works in many ways. There is a really good mix of everything her that I really had enjoyed.

The film does have some bad.

Baron Zemo I didn't mind him.. I liked him more than Lex Luthor in BvS, but he wasn't needed. When I went into this film I was going in ready to hate Baron Zemo. Why do these films need a villain. You already have heroes v heroes why do you need some really bad villain to be in it. That being said for the plot of the movie it worked and it worked it spades. The film manages to use the destruction caused by the Avengers to be the crux of why this guy is here and is willing to tear up the Avengers.

I also really didn't like the big giant title cards when they changed locations. I thought it was really strange. Just have little words geez.

Anyway that is my review of this film. I really enjoyed it. I thought it worked in all cylinders.",9
Really good ! Great fun ! The only reason why I don't rate 10 is this « Frenchie » character who's not french at all and can't even speak french when he's supposed to... Pathetic ! Why the hell the production could not cast a real french actor for that part ? This guy sounds so ridiculous trying to pronounce « mon coeur » or « confit de canard » ! He gets on my nerves so bad ! I want him out or replaced ! 7 then.,7
Storyline is lame at best. If you just want to watch something while you munch on popcorn you may like it.,3

"There's never a full moment in the movie. We are given a bonus of the Myanmar surgical strike. Great all-round acting by Vicky Kaushal, Paresh Rawal. Oh and there is Swaroop Sampath too. It was amazing to see how meticulous or army is. Under PM Modi out army has a new resurgent spirit. This movie made me proud of our army.",10
"Ignore the disappointed reviewers, the second series is a good story, it's more that the first series was magnificent. I can imagine watching the first series many times, (two and a half times so far) while only revisiting the second one after a few years.",9
"I figured that reviewing Avatar for its content would have been pointless, as there are thousands of reviews here that have already said everything. So I thought I'd take a different tack and review the 3D technology and the fact it's being touted as the next big thing; maybe even the answer to piracy. Avatar is the the one movie everyone's saying will kick-start the 3D revolution. People are insisting, ""you HAVE to see Avatar in 3D! In IMAX!!""

Well, I did just that. IMAX and 3D with the full-on subwoofer surround sound experience. And I can report that the technology has a long way to go before it becomes the norm. So, what are the problems with it?

1) We're used to viewing the world in 3D and our eyes/brains adjust very quickly to depths of perspective. We don't even notice it. Sitting in a cinema, we are happy seeing a flat 2D projection because that's what we expect. Now, we are force-fed a fake 3D image through polarised glasses and our brains, unhappy with being momentarily tricked, start to unravel this false image. We look for the slightest anomaly to tell us that this isn't real. And when we find it, we disconnect. Then, we're fooled again - and the cycle repeats.

2) Maybe some folks out there had a better set-up, but my ""3D"" experience was often blurry at the edges, had noticeable double or ghost images and was curiously flat in some scenes. So again, we notice the fake and disconnect from the image.

3) With cinema's frame-rate of 24fps (the result of saving on expensive film stock back in the day), jerkiness during camera pans is still a problem in 2D. In 3D, the effect is even more pronounced and quite nauseating. Again, we disconnect.

4) After a while, the glasses became uncomfortable. My partner reported a headache as we were driving home.

5) Many people prefer the look of film over video. One reason for this is the use of shallow depth-of-field shots to focus our attention on something. Often, the out-of-focus objects are in the foreground. In real life, if you're staring into the distance, the brain can ignore such objects but with fake 3D, the object in the foreground suddenly takes on more 'importance'. The result is a huge out-of-focus object somewhere in front of you.

I could go on but you get the idea. There are simply too many inconsistencies with this fake 3D image to accept it. It becomes a fight between the eyes and the brain and, frankly, it's a relief when it's over.

3D cinema has been around in one form or another for donkey's years. You'd think, in 2010, we'd have technology that was actually pretty good. This isn't the case. Personally, I won't be seeing any more movies in 3D and if anyone asks, I shall encourage them to see Avatar in good old-fashioned 2D.

Oh - and what did I think of Avatar the movie? 3/10.",3
Best thing Marvel ever did. Must-Watch #LokiSeason2.,6
"One of the best shows I've seen on Netflix in such a long time, actually I stopped watching Netflix for almost a year till now!

Ortaga plays Wednesday brilliantly, her facial-almost none- expressions are amazing to watch and also the soundtrack is amazing! The cast is well choosen, they play the characters very well. The show gives a good depth on the Addams Family.

Tim Burton did an amazing series, no surprise. Only reason I gave this a chance is Tim Burton. Very well written and intriguing. So glad there is finally a watch worthy show on Netflix and I do hope there will be more Tim Burton shows!",8
"So bad it's comical. Terrible accents and acting, the portrayal of Russians and Russia like the Soviet Union never ended. All topped off with an equally ridiculous plot - don't waste your time.",1
"If you are struggling with insomnia, this is the show for you. Each episode drags on with details that truly don't matter in the end. The acting of the cast is good, but this would have been a better 2 hour movie than 6 part series. Disney misses again.",2
I disliked this film because the way it is filmed. This way made me headache and I cant stand continuing watching it.,1
"Hell or Heaven... Black or white... Good or Bad... It only matters what is right and necessary for us at time. This show is delightful and hilarious both the center characters are equally good. ""Humanity first"".",8
A must watch film for all intelligent viewers who love meaningful film cinema. this must be appreciated for its originality,10
"Genuinely funny and poignant, you will root for the characters and fall in love with them, even the apparently villainous ones! Beautifully crisscrossing storylines and comedy of errors, thoroughly enjoyed it. After Jaane bhi do yaaron, Andaz apna apna, Hera pheri ... here is another classic in the making. Definitely must watch!",10
"I don't know how I missed this when it came out but it's pretty funny and has the right amount of laugh out loud moments when you don't expect them, more than a few good one liners by Mann, Reynolds and Bateman, the head banging, winking kids lol, I always think of Justine when I see Justin acting funny enough, he's a pretty laid back guy who plays himself in every movie literally, like Reynolds, neither is strecthing themselves in any way, All in all a good funny flick, has a few slow points but overall was a decent waste of time. A few moments and jokes that would never happen now just a few yrs later, which is a shame, like the movies of the 80's, random silliness and blurts are part of the charm of these buddy buddy movies, we want bawdy and ignorant, otherwise how would we see character growth, it had a little Big Daddy feel to it at times, a bit Big, a bit 17 Again, maybe that's what makes it likeable, it's familiar and the ending is happy like an 80s flick. What's not to like? Good cast, decent premise, enjoy and have a laugh on a Sunday afternoon.",8
"It a strange headline 'Trying to hard' but that's the overall feeling I have with the show. It's OK TV production values, acting, the writings ok but it feels like they are trying to hard to be edgy and just missing. Pity Didn't mean to give one should of been five, now it's five.",5
"The nicest thing I could say is that this film doesn't disappoint for a Michael Bay film, and by that I mean it follows the single most predictable plot line an action thriller could. Its opening scene is far too long, explosions far too flashy, scheme way too easy, and execution far to sloppy. The worst part is that Ryan Reynolds seems unable to do anything other than crack jokes the entire film as if he was still filming Deadpool, which solidly destroys any tension in any scene.",4
"One of the most important spirit lifting and patriotic films of the last decade.

It follow the John F. Kennedy's line ""Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for the country"". Apart from working in a job, be it private or government, then going home to have a wife/husband, so to take forward the legacy, producing population and calling it as our babies, what are we doing for the country? Setting up institutions is not enough we must be doing something to make this a better place to live, I want to do something but before I begin, I need money so I must earn money good enough to be able to spare for a few outside my very own family. It brings the questions like should I be contributing to the huge population by producing one or should I adopt and fight for removing orphans and make my place a better place to live in.

Who would agree to my thoughts in a society as hypocritical as ours is what I always ask myself, having said all about my thoughts, this is a movie that I always loved since the first time I saw it in Sangeet Theatre with a big group of my friends. It made a few of us say ""Bijli, Bijli"" at the climax, like Lagaan made us say ""Bhuvan, Bhuvan"". Ashutosh Gowariker had proved with this film, that films can be long enough if there is a real need for it, this was extremely long and it had to be long because there are so many issues within a country as diversified as us. The prime purpose that I love the film is it lifts by spirit and fills in the ""can do"" spirit that is vaguely missing.

Now, the technical departments except for editing are sublime. A R Rahman, gave a score that stood even today as a great. One can never get bored of ""Yunhi Chala Chal"" or ""Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera"" and the whole of background score is just apt to the visuals. The writing and screenplay are meticulous, be it keeping off the glass when offered in the beginning and then taking a sip at the railway station and feeling the water for the first time, or be it the nuances of love between Geeta (Gayatri Joshi) and Mohan Bhargav (Shahrukh Khan).

Performances are exemplary from each and specifically, Shahrukh Khan gave the most composed performance of his life, his emotions were natural, when I saw this in theatre, I was very apprehensive coz I do not like Shahrukh's choice of movies, but went for this solely because of Ashutosh and ARR. I was happy and in the process of the movie, I learnt that actually Shahrukh is a good actor who is spoilt by his choices of films. This is the only film that Gaytri Joshi was a part of, and she made Geet her own, by becoming the character. She is the epitome of a perfect Indian women who is traditionally progressive. She knows the traditions and she knows the purpose of her life too. Rare to find a strong willed woman like her. Also, Kishori Balal as Kaveriamma and the huge supporting cast did an excellent job.

Ah, so proud to have seen this so many times and I love this movie each time I saw it. It's not flawless, no one simply agrees to hand over 100 men for work. You cannot produce electricity just like that, creating some basic apparatus. Yet, the energy behind it, the resolve, the spirt are what made this movie a great one. With nearly 3 and half hours running time, it makes us ask so many questions to ourselves.

Finally, I am again asking myself the same question, am I born, to earn a job, marry, have kids, work for their school fees and education, pass on my assets to my kids and die. Or is there a bigger purpose to life, if so am I doing it?

A 5/5 for this, no less than that ever to one of my favourite movies ever.",10
"Having read a few books on. Frank Sheeran I was really excited by the prospect of watching this film. The all star cast should of made it the perfect storm to eclipse goodfellas, unfortunately a mix of bad prosthetic makeup and weak script make it a real missed opportunity. DeNiro and Pesci manage to have no real depth together in any scene and even Pacino's superb acting can't save this caper. A superb Stephen Graham and some of the other well known actors manage to give great performances, unfortunately the leads are awful.",5
"FARGO is satirizing a kidnapping, a murder, and North Dakota, not necessarily in that order. A very pregnant police chief, McDormand, an excellent actress, portrays Margie, the police chief who tracks down and apprehends William Macy, the Fargo car dealer who arranges for his wife's kidnapping. He hopes to collect the reward money from his worried father-in-law and get himself out of debt.

FARGO is depressing because this story is based upon a very real tragedy and the details of this event are anything but funny. I was left with an empty feeling after seeing this film.",5

"Here's The 4K Lowedown on ""Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery"" (PG-13 - 2022 - Netflix) Genre: Comedy/Suspense

My Score: 8.6 Cast=10 Acting=8 Plot=8 Ending=10 Story=9 Humor=7 Chemistry=9 Script=9 Suspense=8 Twist=8

During the pandemic, long-time friends are gathered for a murder mystery party. But when the famed detective is unexpectedly invited, a truly more synister plan is afoot.

""It's a dangerous thing to mistake speaking without thought for speaking the truth."" This was a solid sequel to ""Knives Out"", but I am a little disappointed that it was on Netflix...that means we may not get a physical release. This was such a fun watch...great cast and ending with solid chemistry and suspense. The Glass Onion officially gets my highest score on streaming...if you are a fan of Knives Out this is worth a watch.",9
"There have been other shows and movies which have tried to give us a realistic take on superheroes but none of them do it as well as ""The Boys"" does. The Show is dark, violent, gritty and sometimes even humorous. It doesn't pull any punches especially with the amount of violence being displayed. I personally think the shows biggest achievement is bringing in politics and somehow not making it seem forced like most of the shows do nowadays. The Characters are extremely well written and the show has one of the greatest protagonist-antagonist dynamics I have ever seen.

Last but not least, take a bow Anthony Starr. Anthony Starr puts on a terrifying and sometimes a downright disturbing performance as Homelander which is what the character demands. No one else could have played Homelander like he did. In fact the show wouldn't have even 50 percent as good without him. Hats off to him. Homelander will go down as one of the greatest antagonists of all time.",9
"Loki is easily the best MCU series yet. It delivers this bond between Sylvie and Loki, which was surprisingly enough entertaining to enjoy. The plot is very good and I was looking forward to what was going to happen almost every time throughout the show. Especially the fourth episode is filled with great moments and some phenomenal plot twists. Yeah, I really liked this show.",8
"This is just tragic. I mean I get what they are Trying to do with this but you cant forget its about super heroes. And The biggest upset of it all, Ladies and gentlemen, prepare your NPC faces, ELLEN PAGE! Is she a robot in this show?Because no One needs this kind of depression when The whole show is already grey.",5
"As one person I heard who had seen it before me said, the movie does play like a Tom Clancy and or Old Spy Novel.

The movie does a good job of clashing Capt. Rogers's 1940's clear sensibility of right and wrong, to the Modern Day Nick Fury's view of taking the World as it is, not how we would like it to be. The whole movie plays on that issue, and ""who do you trust?"" in today's complicated world.

For the most part, the acting is very good. Chris Evans plays Capt.Well again, as do Samuel L. Jackson as Fury, and Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff– ""Black Widow"". Anthony Mackie is an outstanding addition as Sam Wilson – ""The Falcon"". He is instantly likable.

The one major knock I would give it, comes mostly in the 1st portion of the movie,where the fights are moving so fast, sometimes they are hard to enjoy. I think slowing it down a bit would have made it better.

Having said that, it's still a Very Good Movie.

For us fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Concluding Act changes things in a major way going forward for the coming films, and no doubt for TV's ""Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.LD"". And as in all MCU Movies – Stick around - 2 Post Credit Scenes.

While I didn't hate either Iron Man 3 or Thor: The Dark World at all, I definitely rank this one above those 2. Where I rank it compared to rest – I'll save that ranking after seeing it more.

3 1/2 out of 4 Stars, 9 out of 10",9
"I wonder if I would have watched this Jack Bauer thing with different eyes and a different mindset 15 years ago, when it started.

He is boring. Jack Bauer is boring, same as the president in Designated Survirvor. Those characters seem to be dripped in goodness and in honesty, to an almost unbearable level. It must have to do something with Kiefer Sutherland, who plays both parts. The personification of the American good guy. I felt repulsion, sorry.",1
Not so nice and boring. They have to get better with their movies,3
I really enjoyed watching this. Coens are great at delivering top-notch movies. We watched this years ago. Got back on it the other day when the husband found DVD! It's a great film that keeps you entertained.,8
I like this movie is like shadow of war were tailon had the elf in him like Eddie had venom in him this is like shadow of war for sure this is the best movie.,10
"Yeah this was terrible and you know what else is terrible, Don Cheadle.",3
"The title Fantastic Beasts doesn't really match with the way this series is going. The first part didn't make me feel like I was back in the wizarding world but this one did. From the first few scenes itself it was established that the tone is going to be quite different from the first part. The writing felt to be the strong part for me which for many is too mucb complicated and just set up for sequels. But the character developments, dialogues and the politics of the film is worth it. Grindelwald's speech not only shows how good he can twist facts to his use but also why many would think he is the righteous leader. Zoe Kravitz was brilliant, I wish she had more screen time though.",7
"WandaVision's gotten off to a good start so far, but I'm waiting for the later chapters to see how this thing plays out on more dramatic levels. The sitcom twist is a nice touch as is the reality-altering plot of the series, but we can't judge it fully based on the first two episodes alone.

Guys, we should do what we did with Watchmen: wait it out and don't review-bomb it unnecessarily (that was stupid last time and it's still stupid now, so please don't add to that toxicity).

I'm hoping the series delivers something akin to The Mandalorian: giving us a new take on something we thought we knew inside-and-out. What the Mandalorian did for Star Wars is what I'm hoping WandaVision does for the MCU; but who knows?

Just wait until the whole thing's been released on Disney+ And THEN do your complete reviews on the series.",8
"Inception was a deception big time. The movie was not emotionally engage. Not emotion at all. It was like a long trip going at 40 kph all the way. Over the top VFX and photosonics doing slow-mo like a shampoo commercial.

The concept of having a dream, within a dream within a dream and then put an idea in somebody's head to change the future outcome, didn't excite me at all. Knowing his previous movies, I knew the movie will start at the end and let's go back to dig. Boring.

Definitely his best movie to date is FOLLOWING.

If you want to understand what it means an emotionally engage movie where you won't know until the end what is happening and without Hollywood explosions, watch ABRE LOS OJOS by Alejandro Amenabar.

Since when a British filmmaker has emotions?",5
"Bad when I started started on the second or third episode I was able to get thru about 6 episodes and gave up. If it wasn't for the guy who plays the Witcher I may have continued. The only character I really like was Dandelion. Yenneler was ok until ( of course ) she was made attractive. But Cavil imo is awful. His constant grunting( was an annoying) and he just didn't have any kind of charm, panache. Frankly he was boring to watch even whilst fighting etc. It was also confusing with the Princesss. The back and forth scenes. The acting was decent but the story itself was tedious and confusing and the Witcher ruined it for me. Edit to add I've since watched the Tudors and love Cavil in this! At first i din't until i realized who he was. I watched all the episodes of season 3 and was like is this it!?! But I guess since cavil is leaving they are splitting it up? Idk but it's ok this far and i hope they make it really memorable since this will possibly be the last... Update after season 3! I was impressed with the first 5 episodes then it became a redundant mess! The episodes were wasted on none sense. The episode Ciri walks around the desert is meaningless. I took forever to get into this show. Series 1 was a chore season 2 was better and 3 isn't very good so far! I hear there is 10 episodes? But then it says 8! I it ends like this it's atrocious ! I really hope there are a few more episodes! And how did the fake Suri get to Milthguard?!?",6
"I never played with Barbie or even owned one so it was hard to relate on some levels. I am sure though that anyone who did love them is very happy with how good this movie was done. It was very well done too. I loved LaLa Land and that was the vibe I got from this story. It was funny and cute but more importantly it was a really great story about relationships. It reminded me to think outside of myself and consider our world. I believe we all have some Barbie or Ken in us and well if we remember that maybe this world would be a better place. Would have been great to see on big screen but since I need captions my big TV at home did pretty good giving the feeling on the bright and beautiful artwork, set, costumes and music. Very enjoyable overall.",7
"It's the exact same as the original, why would they remake it? The film wasn't even that old, little kids still watched it. The animation is good, but this was just unnecessary. Because the characters look so much like real animals, you can barely see their emotions. It feels like I'm watching a documentary about lions. No one needed this live-action version of The Lion King and I for sure didn't even want it. If you really want to watch it, just watch the original, because it's way better.",4
"I thought it had a decent story and stunning visuals, the African elements were refreshing and creative. However, the political message is too glaring and forced, like a product placement.

Also, coming from a country composed mainly of immigrants, the ""greatness only achieved via isolationism"" theme and the majority of media's praise of the movie as significant specifically because it is ""(representation) for blacks, and (directed, delivered) by blacks"" are turn offs. For that a 3 might still be too high. Somebody treated me to this movie, left on my own I'd never have spent the money.",3
"The acting and production is well do e enough. But the plot and ""tricks"" are quite mediocre. The movie tries so hard to be clever but fails hard because it's so predictable. Which undermines the main draw of the movie.",4
"Must watch, must watch, must watch.

Outstanding acting, outstanding story, outstanding background music Overall must watch movie.",10
"The review ""helpful to not helpful"" ration will be trashed hard here i know it.

But they this movie was not good. Spidey fans will web me for this but this movie was flat. Its was boring. The Zendaya part in this movie was boring, his dumb friend with dumb haircut was boring, all was boring.

Thing is this could have been a 2 part thing like Infinity war why didnt they do that?, there is too much going on for one single movie.

MaGuire and Andrew part was ok, but we could have had more on them, instead no its just meh.

I'll keep it short no spoilers 3/10.",3
"An AI wrote the plot and an AI choose the cast. But why did you let an underpaid human do the cutting? An AI would have done less mistakes.

Could have been such a good ""chill after work movie"".",6
"Usually I can't stand superhero movies or shows, they're all the same BS, always boring with a few fight scenes. I didn't find that with thus series! The umbrella academy kept me interested with the story and the range of characters. It didn't feel like the usual lame superhero movies we have all seen many of times. The show has it all, suspense, comedy, drama, thriller you name it. Like any shows its has its points where its meh or predictable. But in all the show keeps you guessing with all its twists and turns throughout the timeliness! Just binged watched all 3 season in no time and cannot wait for the final season, I'm glad they're not going to drag it on. I can't stand shows that go on for 10 plus seasons I always get bored and quit watching. 3 to 5 seasons is plenty.",9
"Wow.. what the hell was this mess? First off, I love the Marvel movies and Netflix Series. I love the previous Thor movies. This just flat out sucked. It was a lame plot to begin with and then it seemed they went WAY overboard with the gags. Ok, is it a comedy or an action flick? They tried way too hard with the gags. I love the subtle humor of Marvel movies, the occasional one liners and sight gags, but Good Lord, it was like one every five minutes. The plot was really lame and it seemed to bounce all over the place. I honestly couldn't wait till it ended. The Jeff Goldblum character was downright stupid as was the whole plot revolving around him. The end was the best part where it sorta felt like a Marvel movie, but the rest was just a mess. BIG disappointment.",2
"Greed, sex, booze, drugs, repeat over and over for 3 looonng hours. We finally gave up and walked out with an hour to go. Acting was fair but it was honestly the same scene repeated so many times I lost count. It was fun for a while, but come on, haven't you got anything else? Maybe something different happened in the last hour but both my husband and I were so tired of the same thing repeated that we didn't care how it ended. It is hard to imagine this movie (or the acting for that matter) is in the same category as 'Dallas Buyer's Club' or '12 Years a Slave.' I was hoping this would be the film to win me over to Leonardo DeCaprio's acting ability. But he just played a rich, greedy jerk like he did in other movies, 'The Great Gatsby', 'The Aviator', etc. Try stretching a bit Leo.",2
"I like the premise and the story very much The show has really done a lot of great things. It so far is very well thought out with clues from episode 1 and a number of very nice concepts in terms of the progression of the show.

The jewel in the crown however is the chemistry between PB and EO which is truly beautiful to see. The fact that they can act so well together makes me wonder if Infinity War and Endgame would not have benefited from having significantly more focus on these Avengers (it should be noted that in the comics they are more important avengers than they were in the movies).

Olsen and Bettany have demonstrated in this show that they are truly top class actors and they make the entire thing. In addition the writing is very intelligent and interesting and everything seems to tie together well.

However there are some indications that Disney is playing bait and switch here by pushing small delicate ""woke"" ideas slowly but surely into the story. One example is claiming that Wanda and Captain Marvel could have each single handedly taken down Thanos. The reality is that in terms of power, both of them just could not compare to Thanos with even one infinity stone let alone all of them and that both Thor and the Hulk, and arguably even the vision (especially with his stone) would be more powerful than either. These little hints, and the fact that Disney has this tendency to ruin good things with their ""woke ideologies"" prevents me from going 10/10 on this review.

If it turns out that I am wrong about where this is going, I will amend this review up to probably 10/10 given almost perfect production values and one of the most interesting stories to date from the Marvel stables, but if I am right I will also amend downward.

Please Wandavision focus on the relationship between Wanda and the Vision and less on some ideological (lack of) morality play and you will have on your hands maybe the best show of the decade.

AND RIGHT AFTER THIS.

The entire thing collapsed. Wanda and the Vision basically stopped interacting in the last few episodes and every single tie in lead that looked as if it was going somewhere great ended up going to zero.

This has turned into some sort of feminist trope with the usual stuff - male/female segregation plus other evil things, and an ending that was the worst possible one.

Well done Disney, another hit turned into a disaster because you wanted to moralize - guess what you guys ARE the badies...",2
"When I first saw the previews for ""Avatar"", I thought it was going to be another lame show created during a Nickelodeon slump. Boy, was I wrong. It's my favorite show on Nick, one of my favorites on all of TV. The best parts are definitely the plot line and the world that Konietzko and Dimartino have created. This is definitely one of the most complex cartoons on television.

I tune in every week just wondering what will happen; will Aang move any closer to mastering the elements? What's Zuko's plan to capture the Avatar this week? And is there a love relationship growing between Aang and Katara?

Once you start watching this show, you won't be able to stop. It's THAT good. Every new episode only adds to the legend of the Avatar, and if you haven't seen it, I suggest you see it soon, because you are missing something great. I predict that ""Avatar: The Last Airbender"" will become the best cartoon in Nickelodeon history, if it isn't already. 12/10",10
"This is a perfect example of how TV should be done! First of all, the casting is great. Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock Holmes) and Martin Freeman (Dr. John Watson) revolutionize their roles and bring a lot of great wordplay and good chemistry to this series. Andrew Scott as James Moriarty is great as well, although Mr. Scott brings some unneeded eccentricity to the role. Lara Pulver plays her role very well, too. The music is great, especially in ""A Scandal in Belgravia"" and ""The Reichenbach Fall"". Lots of really great musicianship going on and you can tell everyone puts a lot of work into their job. The entire atmosphere of 221B is styled wonderfully with lots of bold color and cool decorations. Many of the educational, forensic, historical, etc. facts are quite accurate and you end up learning something every time. It's safe enough that younger kids can watch (except ""A Scandal in Belg."" and maybe ""Reichenbach""), although they might get bored after a while. Also, I really, really enjoy the 90-minute-episode format, because it makes each episode feel like a movie. Everything, right down to the camera-work, costumes, and makeup/hair design is great. The only negative is the long, Long, incredibly LOOOOOOONG waits between series, but it's understandable since the stars are in demand now. Can't wait till series 3!:)",9
"There are chases.

My goodness, so many chases.

Car and truck chases. Motorcycle chases. A skydiving chase. Foot chases (running AND walking) There's even a helicopter chase.

And they are very well done; Sets, settings, photography; all are technically brilliant and absolutely gorgeous.

In fact, ALL of ""Mission Impossible-Fallout"" is technically spectacular. Even the acting is textbook precise.

But I found the movie cold and clinical. Such emotional connections as were attempted were all used as plot twists. And on that subject, ""MI-Fallout"" is overly complicated, as if the writers were TRYING to create a tour du force of bewildering, labyrinthine plot twists.

I did note one fascinating evolution in the series: This mission makes it clear that in the operational strategy of the IMF (Impossible Mission Force), reliance on luck is a formal tactic. ""I'm working on it.""

For action, ""MI-Fallout"" is a series of exhilarating set pieces. As a movie, ""MI-Fallout"" is a series of action set pieces.",5
"I don't normally comment on films but after this was given 8 out of 10 I had to put the record straight. From the very beginning of the film I knew that I wasn't going to like it. Poor acting from both the main characters makes this one to miss. If you want a film that's watchable get a copy of Mystic River. I can only guess that having Ben Affleck as the director was the only reason this film was ever made. I found it hard to understand the slurred speech from most of the main actors, the only reason Casey Affleck was in the film was because of his brother, looking at Casey's past acting roles, well bit parts really no reason for this talentless wonder to make a major stage debut. At one point Patrick hides behind a wooden door to stop someone shooting at him, obviously wood in the USA stops bullets does it? The Angie character was so cardboard cut out I actually wished it has been an inanimate object. I found myself wishing both of them would die at the end so that I could feel watching the film wasn't a complete waste of time. The highlight was seeing the credits. Just goes to show if you have a few Hollywood blockbusters under your belt you can make just about any old rubbish.",2
"I'll admit, I watched the first season but after the hype surrounding the show. I'm baffled as to why it's got such a high rating. The writing is cringe, Selena is monotone and subpar, and the over the top dramatics is almost too much. It feels like a caricature. The jokes hit only half the time, and sometimes the music is corny. Honestly, the whole podcast thing seems rather overused, and some of the supporting actors are too much dramatic as well. It's an average, mind-numbing show at best. Definitely not Steve Martin's best. Short's character is a hard pill to swallow. I would like Mable if the character was casted better. She needs more animation. Maybe she could borrow from Short's over the top schematics to compensate. There are better things on television. This one doesn't quite fit into a true mystery or true comedy. It doesn't know what it should be, but it just doesn't work.",5
"The Fabelmans is an inspiring family drama that follows the trials and tribulations of a middle-class family. The patriarch, Jack Fabelman (Bill Smitrovich) works hard to provide for his family, while also trying to maintain a sense of humor and ambition. His wife, Helen (Linda Hamilton) is a stay-at-home mom who eventually decides to take a part-time job to help make ends meet. Together, the two of them must navigate the complex world of parenting and marriage.

The Fabelmans also consists of Jack and Helen's three children: teenage daughter Grace (Melissa Leo), young son Nathan (Thomas Dekker), and pre-teen daughter Sarah (Diane Neal). Each of the children have their own issues to deal with, ranging from teenage rebellion to learning disabilities, but the family works together to help each other through the tough times.

The movie is full of heart-warming moments, and it really captures the essence of family life. The performances by the cast are remarkable and the characters are easy to relate to. The Fabelmans is a wonderful family movie that will leave you feeling both sad and uplifted.",8
"I saw this movie without any knowledge of the story. I went based solely off of Jeffrey Wright and Issa Raye. This movie and cast was superb!! I am now intrigued to read the book it is based off of and I NEVER go backwards. (Usually read before watching.)

This movie was intelligent, conscious, real, and surprisingly funny as hell!

I do feel that caregivers of Alz family members should be warned that the story does touch on this topic - so brace yourself if you have lived this.

I wish I could pre-order the DVD with streaming code (is that still a thing? If not, bring it back! I don't trust these platforms always changing rules for viewing.)",10
"If you thought what the Hunger Games was missing was seeing Katniss partially naked, being raped, smoking, cursing, having no emotions, and not doing anything exciting, this is the movie you have been waiting for.

Now the bad guys are the Russian, and they force Katniss to join their games with lots of other kids, with the promise if they do a bad job they will be killed. She can not trust anyone, it seems to win the game you have to betray others so they will be killed.

I can not tell you how it ends, I left with 20 minutes or so left. I was so bored I was falling asleep and as I snore I thought it best to leave. I noticed a few people nodding off as I was leaving. Unlike other movie visits, about half way through people stared turning on and looking at their phones, and no one complained. I hope Katniss won the games.",2
"Such sophomoric and simplistic junk. Weak and boring script. Manichean conflicts. Glorification of ""good wars"", this one fortunately won by a supermodel superhero with only the highest principles. But it is adults who praise this film. Superhero movies used to be for kids. Now they are for infantilized adults, who still possess the simplistic moral outlook of children. It's no wonder the country is in the state it's in, given that this is the intellectual level of our culture.",2
"The film takes us on a ride to rage war against Pakistan. Not sure if all the facts/events depicted in the film were real but it did give a kind of feel as it is. India taking revenge against Pakistan was something new and had never been done before, not sure if this is the start of it.

The war sequences were really nicely made keeping us engaging & high enough. Definitely a watch for once at the least.",6
"12 Years a Slave won the Best Picture Oscar. British Director Steve McQueen became the first black briton to accept an Oscar as producer.

Based on true events. Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor) is a free black man in New York. Well to do, a violinist who is tricked, drugged and sold into slavery in Louisiana in 1842.

Solomon has to survive hardship and cruelty especially as he lived a relatively privileged life with his wife and young children.

He becomes a slave to Ford (Benedict Cumberbatch) who shows some Christian kindness to his slaves. He even listens to Solomon's ideas. However his farm hand Tibeats (Paul Dano) is a cruel sadistic racist that Solomon beats up.

Ford ensures that Solomon is not lynched but sells him on to Edwin Epps (Michael Fassbender) who is a cruel twisted man filled with liquor and religious scripture.

Epps also lusts after his black slave Patsey (Lupita Nyong'o) who he regularly rapes. Epps wife hates Patsey knowing her husband's fascination for her.

Solomon plans his escape. He can read and write and eventually meets a kindly abolitionist.

McQueen pulls no punches. This is not the alt right false view of slavery. This is brutal and degrading. Your fate is at the whim of your master's view at any time of the day. Even if your master is benevolent like Ford. You are still his property and you have his underlings who will show their sadism.

Ejiofor does well in showing his character's dignity. It takes him a while to realise that he was tricked by the people who invited him to dine with them.

Despite being made by a black filmmaker. It suffers from torture porn. It is something I have a distaste of in black dramas ever since I watched Roots as a kid back in the late 1970s.",5
"Almost impossible to keep up with what was going on! Just jumped from one thing to the next with no development, such a shame",4
Too depressing and too relatable. The connection between characters are confusing. I liked playing chess before these series... They made chess look so boring.,2
"Make a movie about a retard, or play one. Look at Hoffman in ""Rainman"" or Miles in ""Ryan's Daughter"", they won Oscars for playing retards too. You can't go wrong with a stupid person as the focus, sort of like the chimp lead. Better yet, endow him with all sorts of savant-like talents like superhuman strength and sports agility. What silly, contrived hokum. This is a sentimental piece of schlock that is always simple and forced. ""Life is like a box of chocolates"", yeah, right! The only one who deserved the Oscar lost, Gary Sinise. Finally, use cgi to work the retard into all the key TV/pop culture moments, guaranteed to melt a boomer's heart. Have him influence the whole world with his simple homespun Gomer Pyle platitudes. If the director had another 10 minutes to fill, Gump would have redesigned the Apollo space ship program and got the astronauts to the Moon. Enough sugar here to rot our whole country's teeth. It proves that pop culture really sucks. ""Pulp Fiction"" was it's dark Oscar nominated rival in 1994. It was a better movie with a sicker message so it lost to this treacle,",2
I cannot believe i saw it till the end. The level of amateurism and mediocrity on every part of this production makes it hard for me to believe that people genuinely consider this to be as good as its rating implies. How this show is approved to be on top 250 is beyond me.,2
"I saw Venom: Let There Be Carnage today so here's my spoiler-free review, I like the bromance between Eddie Brock and Venom, I watched Andy Serkis' previous movie before watching this one Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle, Michelle Williams returns as Anne not going to spoil anything there, I liked how they got rid of the wig with Woody Harrelson's Cletus Cassidy, nice to see Naomi Harris in a movie besides Bond and Pirates of the Caribbean and the post-credits scene is 100 per cent worth the wait. Is this worth seeing? I believe so. Is this the best superhero movie of 2021? Nah not really and I'm giving this one a 5 out of 10!!! ;)",5
"Daredevil, as being one of my favourite heroes, finally gets the attention and quality he deserves. Despite loving the 2003 film as being someone who watched the director's cut on his first time, this still clearly is a lot deeper, more professional approach to the character.

I have always seen Daredevil as a character with whom the message being sent is quite stronger in comparison with any other. The presence of a blind hero holds much greater importance than anyone would think of, as impaired people ought to be helped at every opportunity possible and the only thing we provide them most of the time is nothing but utter ignorance. With this situation being represented on a hero that we all look up to, what we are frightened of becomes something we now feel closer to.

This depth of the character was the reason I had great expectations for the series, but I must admit that this is far better than I had imagined. The quality of acting, screen writing and directing in this is superb and starting from the very beginning, it becomes a journey that is consisted of Marvel's joy, DC's seriousness and Sherlock Holmes' complexity of the plot.

As what I was awaiting of this was the lawyer version of House M.D., telling a curious case every episode and it being solved in spite of misleadings, I was once again impressed when I saw that this is one long episode of 13 hours, consisting of one subject and going deeper and deeper as the finale approaches. With the archenemy being represented along with his past and flaws, the secondary characters helping us have a smile on our faces, and the superhero being imperfect and learning as he encounters new enemies make this series open an entirely new page for the sake of Marvel.

Although we all know that the main hero is never under threat, this show makes us sit at the tip of our seats in various scenes. It makes us understand the characters and feel sorry for them at certain points. There comes a time when the episode ends and you are still sitting there just appreciating it. There are flaws in everything but this one show alone is the reason why ""Marvel owns the movie business and DC the TV"" can no longer be a renowned statement.

""Justice is blind.""",9
Actors are playing ok. The story is a bit boring. So dull. What is the hype behind this we couldn't figure out!!! Also Robert De Niro playing both young and old versions of himself do not really portray well. They could have found someone else to act the young version.,5
"For a movie about a line of plastic dolls, it managed to be the most deeply human movie to come out in a while. I've don't think that I've walked out of theater at the end of a movie with the feeling of so much solidarity with the folks around me and I'm already trying to make a plan for seeing it again in theaters.

From the huge amount of artists work that went into making intricate sets that had the feeling of big Broadway ensemble stage pieces to the soundtrack, I can't say enough good things about this movie. Go see it, take your teenagers or your mom, but Greta Gerwig went and made something really special.",10

Original Review (based on the season's first three episodes handed to press)

Marvel delivered an unprecedentedly successful superhero universe that culminated in the record-breaking Avengers: Endgame (Spider-Man: Far from Home is actually the last movie of the Infinity Saga, but let's ignore that). With the first overarching story ending after twenty-three films, the MCU now begins a new Era. Basically, Phase Four is truly another Phase One, where viewers will meet new heroes to root for. However, there are dozens of Avengers still in the game, including the astonishingly powerful Wanda.

Television will play a massive role in the upcoming saga, with miniseries starring key superheroes having a significant impact in the movies. Obviously, this raises the question: do viewers need to watch the TV shows in order to understand and follow the films? I believe so. Some series might not have as much impact as others, but WandaVision will undoubtedly affect Wanda's path in the MCU. From being one of the most powerful Avengers to the possibility of Wanda being the next big villain, this character has limitless potential. In addition to this, Elizabeth Olsen is arguably one of the best actresses in the franchise, and honestly, of her entire generation.

Therefore, even though I always try to keep my expectations as moderate as possible, I couldn't help but feel extremely hyped for WandaVision. The series is as weird and mysterious as I expected it to be. In the first three episodes, the viewer is placed inside a black-and-white sitcom, where it becomes super clear that everything that's happening is occurring inside Wanda's own reality or something similar that she's definitely responsible for. Having in mind what happened to Vision in his last movie, it seems that this series will heavily deal with sensitive matters, such as grief, depression, and unhealthy escapism. However, these first episodes are pretty much set in following the comedy route.

Boasting tons of references to the respective period of classic television, WandaVision is much more hilarious than I ever anticipated it to be. Several seemingly easy yet efficient jokes about Wanda and Vision's powers and their nature are the ones that bring out the most generous laughter (impeccable writing from Jac Schaeffer). In this regard, I have to praise Kathryn Hahn (Agnes), whose performance as the ""nosy neighbor"" is wonderfully funny. Teyonah Parris doesn't really interpret her real character yet (Monica Rambeau), but her display is rather interesting. The rest of the cast is pretty good, but it all comes down to Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany, who are beautifully charming and amusing together.

Their chemistry is even more palpable now that they're the protagonists of their own story. It's a strange feeling watching Bettany portray Vision again, but his terrific performance comes to demonstrate that the viewer's connection with the character is as humanly compelling as any other. However, Olsen is the real star of the show. I admit that I might be a bit biased since she is one of my favorite actresses working today, but Olsen proves why she's worthy of bigger roles in Hollywood outside of the MCU. An unbelievable emotional range, excellent comedic timing, exquisite expressiveness, and an impressive capability of drastically and quickly changing styles. An Emmy nomination wouldn't be surprising.

The main storyline revolves around Wanda's apparently ideal life with Vision. How? That is the intriguing mystery, which exponentially receives more clues after each episode. A certain symbol points to an organization that will undoubtedly make Marvel fans scream with excitement, right from the very first episode (if you look closely, you'll find it). This is the first MCU content since July 2019, so the stakes are inevitably high as Matt Shakman must fulfill the mission of bringing back the enthusiasm for the respective universe. Shakman and Schaeffer employ weirdness and unconventional storytelling that transform the series into an extremely captivating story, even though the main answer for what's happening seems quite clear.

Technically, Christophe Beck's score is the standout. From the timely sound effects of classic television to specific songs that play during certain moments, Beck delivers a score that elevates the overall show. The opening credits are unique and always different, referencing various Eras of television (shoutout to Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez for composing the theme music). As for the rest, terrific editing from Tim Roche, Nona Khodai, and Zene Baker. The visual effects look seamless even in black-and-white, and Jess Hall's cinematography cleverly resembles sitcoms attributes. Outstanding production design (Mark Worthington) as well.

All in all, after only three episodes, WandaVision proves to be as weird, mysterious, and exceptionally captivating as it intends to be. Matt Shakman and Jac Schaeffer deliver a surprisingly hilarious show with just the right amount of hints to what's truly happening. Even though the global answer seems rather predictable, creative storytelling builds an atmosphere of uncertainty and puzzling doubts that will leave viewers craving for the next episode. From the gorgeous black-and-white to Christophe Beck's brilliant score, Wanda and Vision's apparently ideal life is surrounded by technical attributes that pay homage to the Era of classic television. Paul Bettany, Teyonah Parris, and Kathryn Hahn are all fantastic, but Elizabeth Olsen is the indisputable star, showing her undeniable acting talent that might very well earn her an Emmy nod. As the first MCU content in more than a year, WandaVision conquered my full attention for the remaining episodes, which surely hold impactful revelations. It's still unclear the real influence it will have in the films' realm, but I can only assume it's significant. Do not miss it!

Post-Finale Review (based on the remaining episodes and the entire season)

The following six episodes couldn't be better. The decade-spanning homage to sitcoms continues, but it exponentially decreases its attempts at humor and silly slapstick. As expected, a much more dramatic, emotional storyline takes hold of the narrative, each episode coming closer to give the viewers answers to the dozens of questions raised by the previous episodes. A few more puzzles arise with the introduction/revelation of characters who will definitely leave the audience incredibly excited, but it's the focus on Wanda's feelings that ultimately elevates this miniseries to some of the best content in the genre of superheroes.

The study of Wanda's grief and what she did to deal with the loss of the ones she loved the most is by far the most mysteriously fascinating aspect of the entire show. Even though most of Wanda's actions seem quite predictable from the get-go - especially in a non-detailed perspective - the storytelling choices and paths that Matt Shakman and the team of screenwriters come up with are quite imaginative. Every single viewer will remember a specific sentence forever since it's so powerful that it can even work as a healing mechanism to many people going through pain similar to Wanda's. Brilliant writing, from the pilot to the finale.

One massive advantage of one-season series is their immunity to ridiculously illogical, absurd fan theories and social media pressure, simply because it's already finished before the first episodes airs, so there's no way of the show getting influenced by the public's opinion. It's fun to theorize with friends and attempt to figure out what's truly happening, but when it reaches the levels of excessive fanboyism, it becomes dangerously annoying and hurtful to fans themselves. People create the most ludicrous theories surrounding characters and storylines based on incredibly ambiguous and subjective ""clues"" that are far from being remotely significant. Consequently, irrealistic expectations lead many of these fans to an impending letdown once the finale comes around.

Fortunately, I stayed sane and kept my expectations grounded, waiting patiently for the show to amaze me. The finale is a near-perfect ending to an utterly impressive series that will impact the future of the upcoming MCU series. Many viewers - mainly hardcore fans - will find it disappointing due to the inevitable dismissal of hyped theories, but overall, WandaVision will end up as a positive experience for a significant majority. I really only have minor issues with a particular episode where the overwhelming fan-service risks the logic of its presence, Josh Stamberg's annoyingly cliche character, and a certain outcome left a bit too vague for the series finale.

WandaVision is truly some of the best content ever seen in the genre of superheroes. From the mysteriously unconventional storytelling that never ceased to be incredibly captivating to the beautiful homage to decade-defining sitcoms, Jac Schaeffer and Matt Shakman approach grief and the different ways people handle it in an undoubtedly impactful manner. Despite the main narrative following a predictable path, the theory-inducing side stories and secondary characters throw the audience in loops of constant doubt, ultimately generating a surreal amount of hype for the next episode. The series never loses focus of its emotional core, which is connected to one of the greatest pros of one-season shows: these can't be influenced by absurd fan theories and online pressure. Both Elizabeth Olsen and Wanda prove they're part of the strongest members of the MCU, with the actress delivering an Emmy-worthy performance (shockingly outstanding range) and the character showing her true power prompted by her solitude and persevering love. Paul Bettany, Teyonah Parris, and Kathryn Hahn are magnificent as well, but in the end, it was Wanda's show all along.

Rating: A",9
"Endgame did a lot of great things including breaking the ""formula"" a lot of super hero movies seem to follow nowadays. This being said, it contained some awful story telling and character development.

The Russo brothers merely wrote out how they want the movie to end, and made a connection to the present MCU. The movie is completely plot with very little / poor relationships and character development. The gates opened in many times to have a great breaking of relationships and massive character development, but the Russo's instead took those opportunities to make action sequences rather than anything that the audience would feel for more than 3 minutes afterward, a mere portion of an over three hour movie.

Also, another point to note, there is a portion of a scene which scream ""women's equality"" at the viewer in the most cheesiest and cliche way which completely breaks whatever connection the viewer is currently having with the rest of the scene. The proper way to handle equality of women in movies is to just make them cool, and not overdo it to the extreme this movie demonstrated.

If your a fan of the MCU, definitely watch it. Otherwise I would recommend to avoid it.",4
"Extremely dissatisfied with the sequel. I had huge expections with this one but it doesn't deliver.

The soundtrack was good and the visuals , graphics and cinematography was actually incredible in the picture.

But the screenplay dissapoints the jokes weren't really connecting for me and after the first movie i really was looking forward for this one but the screenplay for me was only a 4 but the cinematography was outstanding so i rated this picture a sum of 6.

Daniel Craig's acting was brilliant as usual and so was the performances of edward norton . Husdon played the best role and she is the standout for me with his latest masterclasses of Birdie character.",6
"Low budget gem much better than expected .. Usually the Australian made movies are pretty rubbish or just a lot bad overacting. But this was surprisingly good. A lot new concepts and plot twists. Some good jump scares...The no name actors were much better than expected... The make-up was actually very good which helped a lot. The ending plot twist is very good also... Almost like a cross of SAW x VHS x Walking Dead x Flatliners movie. Definitely worth watching. The special effects were simple but believable. Considering it's low budget, it's actually very good. A breath of fresh air and not over filled with wokism too.",9
"The book is one of the best ever, so the movie, which changed so much of it, was not so hot. It was probably good for folks who didn't read the book and maybe like simple plots where they don't wonder why did it take 5 years to figure these super easy things out.... but it is what it is. LISTEN to the audiobook- it was 1,000 times better. We were very disappointed with this, and if they had honored the book, like with Harry Potter or Hunger Games, it would have been a legendary movie. The 80s feeling was also wasted and not enough there. Sorry- I thought it would be fantastic, and came away with a very different feeling.",4
It's that good! You can argue that this is the best TV show ever made. It runs Breaking Bad close. Hugh Dancie is from Stoke as well so bonus.,10
"I very much enjoy this version of The Tick, but I have one small beef. This may sound old-fashioned to some, but I find the use of swearing in The Tick to be extremely gratuitous and it detracts from the overall experience.

Don't get me wrong... I'm no prude. I swear like a sailor much of the time. But to me, dropping F-bombs (or worse) for no apparent reason in a scripted series is lazy writing, especially in a show that was once a family-friendly program. It's like tuning into a reboot of The Flintstones to find that Fred and Barney suddenly sound like characters from Goodfellas. It doesn't fit and feels awkward and forced.

I have never read the Tick comics, so I don't know how it is handled in that realm, but in the animated series and the Fox series, it was PG (in terms of language) most of the time. I can't understand why they didn't simply follow the precedent set in earlier iterations.",8

"I guess we all knew that there will be another installment of the trilogy when we watched The Dark Knight. Or at least, we hoped for it. And i think it is the main problem of such movies, since despite their qualities you perceive them as an interlude to the grand finale.

As far as the atmosphere is concerned, the same gritty feeling of Batman Begins is there. The tempo with which the characters, both heroes and the villains, have been introduced makes The Dark Knight rather a drama than a comic book brought to screen.

I guess the decision of the authors has been to create something monumental and they've been successful in that, especially if you consider the running time.",6
"'The Godfather' is amongst the Greatest Films of Cinema. It left an haunting impact on it's viewers. It's my favorite film from the 70's.

It's sequel, 'The Godfather: Part II', is Astonishing work, as well. Francis Ford Coppola's Screenplay & Direction, both, are Godly, while the Performances, are Remarkable. It's a film, where everything seems right, there is absolutely nothing wrong about this film. A Flawless Motion-Picture, that is the Greatest Sequel, it's mighty Prequel could've asked for.

'The Godfather: Part II' Synopsis: The early life and career of Vito Corleone in 1920s New York is portrayed while his son, Michael, expands and tightens his grip on his crime syndicate stretching from Lake Tahoe, Nevada to pre-revolution 1958 Cuba.

'The Godfather: Part II' begins remarkably & culminates, astoundingly. As mentioned, there is absolutely nothing wrong about this film, it's flawless work.

Coppola's Screenplay & Direction, both, are truly Godly. Coppola has a made film, that can never be forgotten. Like it's prequel, it's a film, that will always enjoy a strong fan-base among film-buffs worldwide. Cinematography is picture-perfect. Editing & Art Design, are well-done.

Performance-Wise: Al Pacino is simply INCREDIBLE as Michael Corleone. Pacino, truly, is the Epitome of ""FINE"" Acting. Robert De Niro, on the other-hand as the young Vito Corleone, is hugely impressive. Robert Duvall is outstanding, yet again. Diane Keaton is believable. John Cazale is fabulous & stands out in many scenes. Lee Strasberg leaves a strong impact. Gastone Moschin, Dominic Chianese & Michael V. Gazzo are good, as well. Others lend very good support.

On the whole, 'The Godfather: Part II' is a film that makes Cinema Proud. An Unbeatable & Unforgettable Film.",10
In brief the entire movie was emotionless and disappointing. The songs were all ruined. I understand the need to modernize but taking the essence and the authenticity of such music is unforgivable.,2
"I would have loved to given this a 10. It was a fantastic show! Karens To whiny dragging friends into her drama getting them killed. She uses her sweet cry baby sympathetic ways to manipulate men into getting what she wants.

I was even more disgusted when she said she was from VERMONT. She's nothing like a Vermonter. No accent like we have! I hoped shed get murdered for the murders she caused to happen!

Every time I saw here I got nauseous!

Electra was amazing in the moves she performed. She really added to the show.

Foggy was also with good humor. I felt badly at times for him. He was treated with such disregard by Matt an Karen.

Besides her I loved DARE DEVIL. I recommend it.",8
"I recently watched all the episodes of TVF Pitchers and this show amazed me. I am working on my start-up idea since January and was lacking in some fields as leading a team or handling problems. After watching it I am pretty sure I learned a lot things because I have solved most of my problems and working efficiently. Now coming on Direction, story acting and other technical aspects, the show has ruled in very field. It gave me goosebumps, I was tensed with and happy with the characters and felt motivated. Some of the Dialogues are really good and scenes like singing JO JEETA WOHI SIKANDAR in car and naveen's speech in episode 4 were really great to touch my heart. I can relate with the story very much because I too have many troubles and Thanks to these guys to help me solving these small problems. Will be waiting for next season till then I'll keep watching it again and again it get motivated and entertained as well.",10
"Boring, Not Funny at all. People who wrote the script are about 12 years old. And Why Ryan Reynolds agreed to take part in this movie?! Lack of Money?",2
"I had very high hopes for this film - due to reviews from both industry critics and lay-people. I'm sorely disappointed. Caveat - I saw this film on an airplane.

The one of the main problems lies in that there is insufficient verisimilitude to compensate for the required suspension of disbelief (e.g. believable characters compensating for poor storyline or vice versa). It's not particularly thrilling nor gripping either. There are also weakly saccharine aspects to this film, which, I suppose, was meant to be subtle human interest. I can't account for the visuals since I saw this film on an airplane.

I thought the characterisation was very poor - I did not feel engaged, neither positively nor negatively, with either of the two main protagonists. Perhaps you need to be from the United States to do so. Given the back story of the characters, there could be so much more. The way that the protagonists back stories impinge upon their characters is very crude, there's little subtlety and nuance. I did not believe that the characters could be real, nor are they interesting, and I felt minimal empathy with them.

The poor characterisation could be compensated by the storyline - I did not find it interesting nor trilling nor gripping nor believable. Again, so much more could have been made of this aspect.

I did not find the film intellectually stimulating. Often, I go away from a film thinking about particular aspects that are posed or suggested. There's little in this film that did this for me (apart from being irritated that I could have been sleeping instead).

The film is so bland that it's akin to being spoon-fed weak saccharine solution. Perhaps other reviewers were distracted by the visuals, which I did not have the benefit of enjoying to the full. As for the reviews from within the industry, I can only surmised that there must be some self-congratulatory aspect clouding judgment. The two main actors are not usually known for this type of film - for the actors to perform in a mediocre way against type must have seemed like a great achievement. It might well be - but that goes to show that the wrong actors were chosen for the roles.",4
"Honestly this movie is a copy of ""A quite place"" movie released in 2018. Nothing original! Disappointed..",3
"The movies backdrop is sensational, the premise of the movie is good to. The movie however is slow, boring, long winded ....... Did I just describe Christopher Nolan?",7
One hour to just give us one scary scene and still there are barely one or two scary scenes.,1
"There's just so much stupidity in this thing that I'm not even gonna bother listing them. This is one of those movies you would normally run into on television at 2 am if it wasn't for the cast. It can't go anywhere beyond being a mediocre meme.

People kill themselves when they see these invisible monsters, so they must live with blindfolds.",4
Best dark comedy movie ever seen. Stream it in my opinion. All the talented actors are there. Little bit lack of comedy. You wont be laughing all the time.,8
"I seen all the harry potter films. This one was confusing in so many ways. It is so hard to follow, I would explain the plot... but I would sound stupid. I used to dislike the first Fantastic Beasts. But I appreciate it way more now. There are a few good things to enjoy here. The fantastic creature designs, the returning characters, and the scenery is beautiful. It isn't a terrible movie, but it's easily the worst in the harry potter universe.",3
"Christopher Nolan, like no one else knows how to surprise. I don't really like films about space and discoverers, but this one is one of my favorites!

You know without me how beautifully this film is made, but this is only due to careful preparation. Nolan goes to great lengths to delve into the details for years before making his masterpieces. In this he is inimitable.

For myself, every time, as for the first time, I note new meanings in the picture: it's like a huge collection of the most amazing philosophical works about space and travel in it.

Love this show. Everything about it. But it bothers me that they've never used surveillance cameras to help find clues.,9
With an over saturation of mediocre crime detective dramas it's great to see weirdly fantastical adventures Different is good Added bonus of great music Klaus is fab.,9
"this movie was GREAT. it was very funny, amusing, and had a lot of action. Most movies, you may get sick of watching sometimes, but this movie didn't really have any boring parts, and I watched attentively the entire time.

Stephen Chow did an awesome job directing this film. He used many different camera angles and it doesn't appear dull or typical.

I recommend this too anyone that enjoys kung fu films, likes films that are a bit odd or weird, anyone that enjoys laughing, action films, slapstick comedies or just about anyone else! it is truly good... go see it if you already haven't experienced it!",10
Good but if you already know sherlock stories then don't watch it,9
"I don't know whether the critics for these movies are bought or afraid to be commenting this movie because of its political standpoint. The film DOES NOT living up to the critics point and user's rating. I would give 2/10 and 3/10 at best. The most entertaining part of this movie is Andy Serkis, and I think Andy Serkis is a more potential villian than this Killmonger portrayed by Michael B. Jordan.

I expect for Black Panther to be acting as a wise, intellegent, strategist and also a martial art mastery more of like The Batman of Marvel Universe. This film does not show any of it. Overall it is just boring and I think this movie just needed to be there to fill the plothole of coming Avengers movie.

Otherwise there are no entertaining scene or part (even the action is boring), I would not recommend you to watch it",2
"Russian Doll had a good production quality, and the premise of the story was interesting. However, the characters felt one dimensional and the inconsistency in the actions of main character Nadia was a big minus for me. There was a lot of over-acting happening by the majority of the cast, which suited the style of the show to a certain degree.

The story was interesting, but many aspects of the supernatural elements in were written without any proper explaination or logic. Usually in these kinds of series there is a proper logic to how the supernatural elements (like time travel) function. In Russian Doll's case it felt like the story was told in a convenient and lazy manner which resulted in a confusing outcome. It is understandable if the series is meant to be set in an ""afterlife"", but even in that case I personally think the story could have been more consistent.

Nevertheless, watching Russian doll was an ejoyable experience, and the background stories of the characters were interesting and well thought. There were many unique references and metaphors included in the story which was refreshing to see. For example, it was interesting to see a character with Hungarian descent, as that is not commonly seen in big American productions.

I would recommend this show to hipsters, semi-liberal/semi-woke people, and women who like science fiction.

"American soldiers in Iraq defuse explosives while dodging sniper fire. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. And so it goes on and on and on for a mind-numbing 13 hours or so. The central character is an arrogant jerk; the other characters are stereotypes from central casting. There is no plot - just random encounters with insurgents. The most annoying aspect is the camera work. There's a scene in this film where the hero complains about the shaky camera work in an adult DVD he has purchased. Well, if he could step back he would notice that the film he's in is all shaky camera work and incessant zooming. It's nauseating. Somebody please take away Bigelow's camera. She is a clueless hack.",2

"We are now living into a materialistic world where even the relationships are now built on calculation...but does that mean that the essence of true feelings have gone obsolete? Finding answer of such trivial question would take you a long time unless you want to see a 2+ hours movie called ""Love Aaj kal"". I am sure now the bells would not ring but definitely in time to come people would realize that the message delivered by the movie is much deeper than what it feels from the first look.

This movie is a journey of love from past to present, to convey the message that something doesn't change with the time and at the end one has to follow his/her heart because that's what is the real pursuit of happiness.

The story of movie revolves around two protagonists, one from the present and one from past. Only with the glitch of time -frame change, both the stories follows the same path and ultimately ends at the very point where essentially a true love story should end, A happy ending. The only difference in both the stories is the way realization happen, in the one of past the realization is much of obvious where as in the present it's quite melodramatic yet very close to a real life incident which you could see around.

Yet after being such serene,pure and refreshing what this movie lacks is the attachment with the characters, you would not be able to connect to the characters as you should, may be the soul of it is missing due to lack of chemistry between the lead actors Saif and Deepika.

I wouldn't say they didn't perform well but still I was kind of disconnect to them though I felt more connected to story of past..may be because I still have my faith on age old love sagas :-). I guess the chemistry between Saif-Deepika didn't work as well as it was expected.

Performance wise, I guess Deepika was standout of the entire cast, she played her role of straight headed career oriented woman with much of ease and really was completely involved in her role (May be because her traits belongs to the same). Saif was looking much of a confused person not only because his role demanded it but also because may be he was not hitting the right cord along with Deepika. Role played by Rishi Kapoor is fantastic, he was the best fit for the role and the urge, excitement and emotions he portrayed were so true to be real that it always made you feel it was coming right from heart and you would want to follow them.

Music is really peppy and catchy, few tunes are foot tapping and there is a very nice soft song ""Dooriyan"" which would slowly intoxicate you. Cinematography is also very nice and so as direction, the best thing of direction is that Imtiaz never does copy of anyone's style but his improvisation is so nice that he somewhat creates a cult, be it ""Socha Na Tha"" or ""Jab We Met"".... you would find people relating themselves to the characters, I am sure this would continue after Love Aaj kal as well. He always come to characters not larger than life but true to life, absolute treat to watch his movies.

All in all this is a good bet to spend your money.",8
"As a comic book reader my expectations were really really high but again Marvel didn't disappoint and gave its fans the best adaptation this comic can get.Not even for a moment I was bored,I didn't even blink so I won't miss a second of it.The movie was so action-packed and the fight choreography was mind-blowing.Also it was so intense and showed us each hero has a dark side but at the same time extremely funny.I was having heart attack watching but also laugh my self into tears.This is what you really expect from a movie,to give you a little bit of both.The Russo brothers did an excellent job.Not just bringing all these heroes together but also introducing new ones.It is not easy.They come up with a story that it is not just a political incident but also an emotional showdown.We finally got to see how the world really feels about heroes.We see the damage they have done.Yes they saved thousands but what about the ones we have lost.It was the best answer to the people who think that Marvel isn't realistic.I ask you can they get more realistic?!Another thing that got my attention was we finally got a movie that does not end with saving the world cliché. We also see that heroes does not always win.Another point that needs appreciation was the visual effects.As someone studying software engineering I'm very strict about basic points and they did a great job.Everything looked so real and they gave us a fight scene that will leave its mark in history.To the ones saying there is too much CGI.Try shooting without the CGI and just good luck.I really believe that the visual effects is the thing that gets our favorite heroes out of the comics into the real world.Finally all I ask is just forget about your prejudgments and stop comparing this to BVS.Just enjoy one of the best comic book movies of all time.",10

"1917 is one of better war films of recent years even if it doesnt have a lot of fighting and war ascepts until the end,i would compare this film to dunkirk they both have similiar way to tell story and both films focused more on characters arcs and their journey through hard years and expereicing them,this film has one of best musical scores of year and it dominates scenes and builds them with tension and even despair,also this film is really visually great to look at but that was expected since deakins was cinematographer and his way of filming was very good made and it was used well,my only gripe was the same like in dunkirk that we didnt learned a lot about characters and they felt unexplored,1917 is defienetly one of better films of 2019",7

"I can't believe how over rated this movie is. Seriously, three Oscars! for this crap. Movies are intended to tell a story, but all Dunkirk did was show me show soldiers on a beach, a family on a boat and pilots in the air without giving me any reason to care for any of them. There is no character buildup to help us sympathize with them. Hell I don't even know the name of any character. The background sounds were unbearable. Only God knows what the money budgeted for this movie was used for. Dunkirk is an absolute waste of your precious energy and time.",1
"A few weeks ago I took my Matrix DVD out of my collection and, because I was bored, decided to ring up my mate and tell him that either he takes it off me or I burn it. I had the matches ready and everything, and would have conducted a fascinating experiment into the effect of touching a DVD with a naked flame had he not agreed to let me give it to him. I kid you not.

This film is the worst waste of twenty quid I have ever bought. The psuedo-intelectual claptrap (""Hey, what if the world isn't real after all""???? Yawn, like I didn't already think of that when I was about five years old) is used to cover the fact that the main characters and large chunks of the plot were obviously, ahem, ""influenced by"" William Gibson's classic pulp-sci-fi tale 'Neuromancer', ie. they are largely identical (including the role of each character within the narrative) but have had their names or skin colour changed.

The visuals are quite pretty but again are totally lacking in innovation except for the 'Bullet Time' gimmick, which is fun to watch but not as impressive as had been made out. At least it wasn't over-used. Then we move onto the acting: Fishburne is fine, as is Moss, but Keanu drags the film into new depths of rubbishness with his trademark lack of emotion or even the slightest indication of sentience, ruining some lines that should sound great. Finally, the action sequences are well-choreographed but somehow seem flat, as if the pacing is a little off.

I won't be going to see the sequels.",2
"A side note: I turned up at the local cineplex and the ticket person checked my ticket and pointed out the correct cinema showing 1917. I didn't think I had arrived late but it seemed to have already started. The scene was the trip by the vehicles through the mud and fallen trees. I picked up the story no problem. My impressions at this point of the movie was the extremely inappropriate music that sounded more in keeping with a Star Wars film than something set in World War I. I had similar issues with the movie 'Dunkirk'. Anyhow after 40 minutes the movie finished and I knew something was wrong. I checked back with (another) ticket collector and found that my session wouldn't be starting for 20 minutes. So I managed to see 1917 twice. At least some of it twice. Seeing the beginning made me rethink a few of the issues I had initially felt. Yes the music was still inappropriate and as the volume and tension slowly increased we all knew that something was going to happen. Worse was that the music was continuous through, I guess, 90% of the movie. Why don't directors just leave everything to the sound effects department? I also found that the slight overuse of profanity and gestures a bit out of period. Am open to correction here. To the movie. When I first viewed it I was not conscious of the 'one shot' camera work until the final conflict. Seeing it from the beginning impressed me so much. The camera work and art direction deserve awards and what is sometimes overlooked is the extras casting. Absolutely brilliant. The two leads had to hold the whole film together and they did that and more. Ok, I have issues, but over all, if someone asked me what I thought, I would have to tell them that this was probably one of the most visually exciting movies of the past ten years.",8
"This show is awesome! The characters are great, the acting is good and the special effects are the best! Please many more seasons of this one...",9
"Overall, compared with other series of CA & Avengers, this film is better (as good as Winter Soldier) in term of script and action scenes seems to be more realistic, the story is about normal life events and situation, not too much fictitious. I love the friendship between CA and Bucky as well Tony's ""family love"". I like character Bucky Barnes. This is anw an innocent ppl, a poor controlled-mind killer. This seems to be a complex character, a forced killers who feels guilty and lonely. I like Sebastian Stan's acting also, he has emotional talking eyes. I think the movie showed us possible situations/strategies in real life and led us to the tolerance and forgiveness

A minor ""error"" is the presence of so many new characters, ant-man, spider kid, especially the spider kid.... very tiny/vague meaning",8
"Great must watch many times.

Great job Nagraj sir.

Great work all the team of jhund.

Ajay Atul sir music is best.

All the characters are real I want to see this film again with all my couplings and friends.",10
"I feel like this was written by people who don't read books, but have watched every movie that ever existed. Like so many new shows, there is not a single new idea or concept, but a hundred cliches stolen from movies in the past that did it better. It's cliche city: the beautiful blond witch who doesn't want to use her powers (wow, y'all IT'S BEEN DONE!) I do not want to continue watching but I assure you she will turn out to be the most powerful witch of all (SAME THING EVERY TIME). This series appears to be made for teen girls.

The setting of Oxford is nice, although some hard realities about the real Oxford seems to be left out (like how it's now a Muslim town filled with ethnic takeout.)

The completely overdone idea of a war between witches and vampires or werewolves and vampires or witches and mummies or... blah, blah, blah. This is just a bunch of clips from past shows and movies remade and stitched together into a new production. Here's a hint... try to make something that is in the least bit non-derivative and you will have created something original. This is boring and predictable and soon forgotten. A fun thing would be to take each episode and try to find the source material that they lazily stole from. It's weak.",3
"Ok. Well The Crimes of Grindlewald isn't a bad film - but as with films in the 6, 7 or 8 range, it has issues.

There's too much going on. It's hard to follow. There aren't enough hand-holds for those of us who enjoyed the thrills of the original Harry Potter series. This Fantastic Beasts stuff is darker, harder, more grown-up - but that doesn't make it better.

The other thing is that although the CGI is amazing - there is just too much of it.

Strengths; Johnny Depp is almost unrecognisable as the calculating psychopath Grindlewald. A decent performance from an actor known for his oddness though. Jude Law only has a cameo as Dumbledore. I wanted to see more of him, but I guess that comes in the later films. Redmayne is also good once again as the shy disembling Scamander. Redmayne is always good - no matter what he's in.

So, I'm supposing that this series is just getting going. I know film 3 is the the can for 2022. Let's hope they make The Secrets of Dumbledore a little more accessible.",7
"Must watch! Vicky Kaushal, Paresh Rawal, Yami Gautam, Mohit Raina and all the others did an awesome job and above all FANTASTIC direction. Loved it.",10
"This movie is unbelievably awesome as it is the most realistic and full of suspence and fun to watch. The acting of both Sharukh and Manisha is awesome.

I see a lot of movies mostly eng, some hindi, (i'm a movie freak) but i havent seen a hindi movie this good in my life before. If you like reslistic movies about terrorism and crazy true love, you would love this movie.",10
I would say the first part was Allright but boring the second part was great it's a very silly movie,4
Just watch it again and again till you like it. Come back and rate it :),9
"Stephen Chow brings comedy and Kung Fu to the silver screen in this tribute to the classic Jackie Chan Kung Fu movies.

What makes Kung Fu Hustle different from other Chinese Kung Fu movies released around the same time is its humor. While Chinese films such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero may retell or reinvent the serious Kung Fu myths, Kung Fu Hustle makes its mark by injecting cultural reference, especially to the 1940's American Gangster, and humor, both slap-stick and referential.

Though the film starts slowly, don't abandon it too early! Kung Fu Hustle's humor takes time to get used to, but quickly becomes enjoyable and evident, even in the midst of serious action sequences. If you enjoyed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, love funny movies with good action, or are just looking for a Kung Fu movie, this is the one for you!",9
"Murray is funny. Johansson is a fluffy bunny in a new park. Very nice cinematography. But it ends up coming off as an advertisement to smoke and drink in Tokyo, which it supposedly was meant to satire.

The problem is that all the gloss of the film ends up counter-acting the satire. The result is a friendship story that glamorizes what the tobacco and alcohol industries want.

So, I left the film feeling like I had been subjected to a very long marketing scam. About the only insight one comes away with from this film is that Sophia has learned the technical aspects of daddy Coppola's trade well, but is harboring some child-like anti-Japan, nearly racist beliefs.

With some luck, the average viewer may see it as simply a portrait of the crustiness behind the gloss - a money and fame (or the marriage to them) doesn't buy you happiness story. Sofia needs to keep in mind that the only thing separating the average film from an advertisement is the amount of time people spend watching it.",3
"James Cameron's Avatar was publicised and marketed well....the film got a thumps up from the critics all around the world.....After watching 2012 & experiencing one of the best special effects in my life ,i hoped to feel the same for avatar as well.

However,i was very disappointed after watching this mega budget movie which had very few to offer.Below are the negatives:

1) Pace & Length of the movie : The movie was 2 and half hours long.i have no problem with the lenght.however the movie was very boring .the first 20 minutes is wasted in useless dialouges.the movie picks up the pace in the final 30 minutes.

2)CGI : I was not at all impressed with the 3D CGI...I was expecting something mindblowing in terms of effects just like 2012....however that didn't happen.....I was wearing glasses and didn't feel anything real as mentioned by all the critics....I didn't feel any difference in the 2d version & the 3d version of the movie....the effects used in the films were no where near to 2012

3)Story: It was a meaningless and predictable story....It became repetitive in the middle and don't feel like movie is leading anywhere.....Only the last 30 minutes were worth watching......

4) No good dialouges I don't recommend this movie to any1....It's a sheer waste of money exactly the way James Cameron did with this movie......",2
"For some apparently the answer is absolutely nothing. But if you bought into the Marvel Universe thing, then you know how they roll. It doesn't mean the movies are all the same. Quite the opposite, as Dr. Strange showed us. But even here you get political statements. And if it didn't do that the movie probably would have been seen as just another Comic Book movie that didn't take it's role model position to also have a message for the viewers.

But do not despair, there is plenty of action in there. It's just that the movie does try to make you think about things and challenge you a bit. Also it does want to show that there are consequences to actions taken. Whether you agree with that approach or not is up to you. And again, there is enough action and fun to be had. You can take anything apart if you really want to and make it look bad, but you would take away a lot of fun that you can have.",8
If you have lots of free time and instead of playing shooting game you want to see one then this movie is for you.,3
This is the greatest film ever made. Not only did it live up to expectation it surpassed them by being even Better then the first,10
"The film was entertaining enough but only just. I think if it hadn't had Ryan Gosling in it, it would have been something of a snore fest which is ironic as it was aimed to be a female vehicle.

I understand the premise of Barbie wanting to go to the real world in order to find a cure of becoming human. However, it's not a very well rounded tale. There's the odd amusing scene throughout until the Ken dance/song near the end, which ends up being hilarious and has added a good two stars to my review.

It takes itself a little bit too seriously at times when really it could have done with a bit more humor. Overall not bad.",6
"Captain America : Civil war is an amazing addition to the ""Captain America"" triology. From the Russo brothers who jump started the film series with ""Winter soldier"" comes another action packed marvel film to the marvel movie universe with new characters and an expansion to the coming films in the same genre.

The best thing of this film is heroes collide like this year's Batman V. Superman : Dawn of Justice (2016) and as usual Tony Stark and Steve Rogers also known as Iron Man and Captain America gives a stunning performance going to the core of there character arcs giving the fans the feels for the next movie's to come.

The action, effects and story was unparalleled. But still when it comes to the definition of a film this is still a comic book adaptation.

Unlike Watchmen(2009) and Deadpool(2016) which I find extremely original this is still in the standard formula.

But two thumbs anyway. Ironman Vs. Captain America - may be the greatest battle in the marvel universe.

Overall - 4 / 5",8
"Still mourning the loss of her mother, Mia (Sophie Wilde) has grown emotionally distant from her father, Max (Marcus Johnson), and begun spending more time with her best friend Jade (Alexandra Jensen) and her younger brother Riley (Joe Bird). After attending a party with Jade and Daniel (Otis Dhanji), Mia's former boyfriend who's now dating Jade, the two are introduced to an embalmed hand relic by Hayley (Zoe Terakes) and Joss (Chris Alosio) that allows the holder to talk to the dead and allow them to be ""allegedly"" safely possessed by up to 90 seconds. What initially starts as a party gimmick soon turns serious when Mia thinks the hand is a bridge to her dead mother and sends her on a slow descent.

Talk to Me is the feature debut of twin Aussie Youtubers Danny and Michael Philippou who came to prominence with their channel RackaRacka which is known for horror comedy videos. The film is a fully Australian production which the brothers worked on with noted producer Samnatha Jennings who previously produced the breakout and influential horror film The Babadook. The movie has become a sleeper hit earning $88 million worldwide at the time of this writing against its $4.5 million budget as well as scoring substantial acclaim. Talk to Me is a promising debut from the Philippou's and shows them to be talent to keep an eye on.

While on a surface level the film would seem to be your average teen oriented horror film centered around a ""cursed object"" (Well-traveled ground seen in the likes of Polaroid, Wish Upon, and even this year's All Fun and Games) but despite sporting a familiar horror template, what it does with that template is anything but ordinary. At its core, Talk to Me is a character piece about addictive tendencies and unprocessed grief with Sophie Wilde's well-played as someone who's very much withdrawn from her family and extended social life and retreated to a state where she's in a state of limbo using her friend Jade and her family as a surrogate family while doing what she can to avoid the broken remains of her own. Despite Mia not being the most likable or sympathetic of characters, the movie doesn't ask us to like Mia and instead wants us to understand what motivates her and there is underlying humanity to her such as the ""cool older sister"" dynamic she has with Riley that shows a more tender side if not one to necessarily be approved of. I really like how the filmmakers handle the plot point of the embalmed hand because while they do establish a set of rules in how it works, they purposefully leave its origins vague which is really to its benefit as that makes its presence more unnerving. The Philippou do an interesting job of showcasing the hand's effects as we not only see them from the point of view of the user, but also from the point of view of outside observers. Despite being a horror film, there are also some points of comedy and satire that do work such as Jade's mother Sue always inquiring about whether drugs or parties are happening under her nose as well as the glib way the primarily teenaged characters are treating the notion of possession and contact with the afterlife as something to post on social media for bravado or bragging rights.

I really enjoyed Talk to Me and it's one of the better cursed object horror I've seen in quite some time. The Philippou Brothers do a solid job of bringing this premise to life and Sophie Wilde is fantastic as Mia and I really look forward to seeing what the Philippous do next.",8
One of the stupidest movies i have ever watched. 2h of plain shooting.... don't waist your time and nerve cells...,1
"Saw this one coming a mile away from the opening scene, great cast Daniel Craig's fake accent was shocking, overall fun very light hearted",3
"So im watching the first episode, really trying, and its making the greasy strangler look like the Godfather 2, its so slow an drawn out, an trying to use ""cool"" visuals that aren't that great. I feel like I'm pulling a tapeworm out slowly watching this.",1
"Contrary to popular opinion, I don't see anything cute, sweet, or funny about Nazism, even spun as a childhood fantasy love story. I'm pretty much aligned with Joe Morgenstern of WSJ on this one.",2
I tried to watch this but it gets annoying when the camera is constantly twitching and jerking around all over the place. Not for me. If the director doesn't want to direct a smooth moving picture then I don't want to watch it.,1
"First of all, its the best overall entertainer movie this year to date. Now to begin with story, if someone narrate it verbally to you, you might find it childish and funny, but well build script, packed with all the action that is required. Coz when we talk about Cap'n America, there are no super powers in him, that limits the writers from thinking super powers. It's a Super hero limited with resources, and the challenge was to beautifully taken and furthermore, tighter Direction and well timed acting of whole team, and the special effects team. Together they have served a wonderful movie that would be a new benchmark for Superhero movies.

The Action of the movie is also another reason one should see the movie, and my favorite was the starting ship sequence.

Whole movie is like a thrill ride and the first half keeps your mind so uncomfortable that what is it going on ? and makes you stick to your seat while not to miss any part of it. the 3D version is average and is okay to watch it in 2D.

Final words... If you are a fan of The Avengers series, this is something you should not miss....",10
Just classic. No further explanation needed. Must see.,10
"Olsen is phenomenally compelling to watch, and she's given fair support by the stolid Wong and spunky McAdams. Cumberbatch too is always watchable, but is really just collecting his pay check at this point. Ejiofor is tolerable, and despite some cringe level token diversity casting among the minor characters, the (White European) Gomez isn't awful, although her performance is completely bland and forgettable.

I focus on the actors because it's all downhill from there.

The writing is simply dreadful. There's no narrative arc, just two hours of chase and snuff told in a series of essentially unrelated ""and then, and then, and then"" scenes. Characterisation is minimal, and the dialogue is almost pure exposition with no memorable lines.

Visual effects are fair except for a bizarrely modelled octopus creature which is inexplicably Harryhausen in appearance. If they had a point to make with it, it wasn't explained. Costumes and makeup are decent, although the Raimi deadite motifs are mere pastiches.

The score is appalling, being a near constant barrage of overblown blaring which drowns out the dialog and any possibility of emotional investment. That's fine, because the denouement is an absolutely inevitable ""Oh, oops my bad"" / redeemed / squished.

Pacing is a real problem, managing to feel dragging, padded and rushed all at once. It's either half an hour to long, or half an hour too short.

The whole thing is a dreadful waste of the on-set talent, on both sides of the camera. It was doomed by the writing before it began, and the post production made it worse, not better.

Sadly, but not unexpectedly, this is everything we've come to expect from the Mouse wearing the hollowed out-shell of Marvel as a skin-suit.",4
"Standing in a cave full of thousands of really loud bats, without one touching, getting through your hair or shitting on you, now that's a superpower I'd like to have. It would work just fine with the crows in my town. Yes, Batman now got his superpowers, but in a rather distasteful manner. Corny dialogs, predictable plot line, obviously artificial special effects and ""Felicity"" make up another pompous Hollywood bullshit. Yes, yes, cheap is the word. Not even the events resulting from the plot line really stand ground: for instance with all his bat-shaped white weapons, Batman fails to produce even one visible cut, and yet takes out all his opponents- so here I have to agree with the bad guy: Batman is a pussy. Also, the panic ensuing the blowing up of the water supplies is ridiculously soft. And ends quite soon after the demise of the bad guy- previous features of the ""panic inducing drug"" suggested a much more drastic picture. Besides being action-packed there's nothing special about this film.",5
"The movie could have been great. But they used old old OLD actors and put makeup on them to try to make them look young. Doesn't work. Ever seen super old people fight? Check this out.. little weak baby kicks with dubbed over sound of someone slapping a turkey. What a joke.

The story is decent. The actors are garbage.",2
Started out interesting but just got way too bizarre and boring. No real conclusion.,3
"So I just watched Silver Linings Playbook and thought ""So what?"" I had heard great things about this movie, namely that it had received 8 Oscar nominations. So, I thought, this has to be a great film? Great cast, great director, a recipe for perfection, right? Well, if this movie was a cake, someone forgot to add the yeast, because this sucker did not rise. We start with a very likable Bradley Cooper, who just seemed to be 'acting' too much in this movie. I know that sounds strange, but actors are supposed to draw you in to their performances, make you feel like you could know them on a personal level, like they could live next door. But this just felt like I was watching a performance; albeit a decent performance, by Bradley Cooper. Jennifer Lawrence stars as his love interest and also gives an adequate performance, but that being said, I expected so much more. Without giving too much away, Bradley stars as a man who has got some problems, tries to rectify them, and find himself and love along the way. The feel-good movie of the year? Probably! But not for me. The movie seemed clichéd and derivative. Robert DeNiro is a wonderful actor and a legend in his own right, but a Best Supporting Actor nomination? I just don't get it. What I think makes me dislike the movie even more is knowing the other films it beat out for nominations. Movie like Django Unchained and Argo for Best Director. These 2 films were wonderfully directed and the movies themselves are accomplishments in directing! Big casts, different locations, etc. I felt like I could have directed Silver Linings. For some reason, I got a whiff of Jerry Maguire from this movie: a man trying to rebuild himself, and finding love along the way in the most unlikely (yet most likely) of places. Only, Jerry Maguire was a wonderful film. It had depth and sincerity and still stands as Tom Cruise's finest performance. To say that this felt ""phoned in"" is an understatement. Was this a good movie? Ya, OK, I watched it and didn't turn it off. But, is that saying much?",5
"Yet another film that feels like it was written and directed by a team of 12 year old boys.

I was disappointed with the first Venom film but figured they'd learn from their mistakes. Nope. They take those mistakes and turn them up to eleven.

The constant ""banter"" between Eddie and Venom is tiring. This makes Deadpool look like sophisticated comedy.

The explosion of sounds and colours in a chaotic blur is less of a hot mess and more like Norovirus mixed with Vindaloo and food poisoning.

Stephen Graham phones in his performance whilst wearing a hairpiece that even the bald would reject.

Woody Harrelson laughs all the way to the bank. And he laughs loudly.

Tom Hardy hangs in there hoping that this will all be forgotten if and when he gets to face off against the Avengers or Spider-Man in the distant future.

Even the post credits scene is painful as it's just a remainder of what we should have and how far off course we are.

I never thought I'd say this but just rewatch Spider-Man 3 and enjoy a superior Venom.",2
"I guess i was expecting a fantastic movie that would blow me away.

The trailer, the reviews and the awards. This movie must be awesome!

Right, reality check.

In my view it's ok, i laughed sometimes, i had a weird expression sometimes, felt like i was on drugs sometimes, i got bored a few times aswell.

I love Michelle Yeoh and here movies. The Children of Huang Shi, Crouching tiger, true legend and Fearless (even tho she was uncredited) Awesome movies that i tend to watch over and over.

Everything Everywhere All at Once will be forgotten fast for me. I will probably never watch it again, and i will never understand why o earth this movie gets so high rating and reviews.",4

"This was SHOCKINGLY AMAZING and TRAGIC. I already read this part of the manga years ago and already knew what was coming. But the animation, visual look, voice acting and OST were brilliant.",10
"I never really felt much interested in Interstellar because I'm pretty bored with Christopher Nolan now. His films are getting increasingly more epic and complex but at the same time, predictable. I just feel I know exactly what I am going to get so don't have any inclination to watch his films.

But, stuck for something to watch this weekend, we gave it a go.

The last 20 minutes were a bit of an emotional roller coaster (despite what seemed like a few plot holes and inconsistencies, which I need to look into in case I just didn't get it). But it did not make up for the rest of the film, which I found not only boring but irritating.

Most of the film I felt was unwatchable because Matthew McConaughey (an over-rated actor whom I don't like anyway) mumbles his way through the entire performance, meaning I had to turn the volume up high to hear what he was saying. However, there are frequent bursts of extremely loud music, far far louder than necessary and since the volume is up high to compensate for mumbling, it constantly suddenly gets too loud to comfortably watch. I had to sit through the whole film with the remote control at the ready, adjusting the volume up and down for the whole duration. When viewing the IMDb boards I can see this is a common problem and it has even been up for discussion in the newspapers. Now, whether Nolan intended this anomaly or not I don't care, it made the film irritating and difficult to watch.

Apart from that, I found the whole thing dull. The characters were dull, the storyline was dull and I do not have the desire to watch this film ever again so it has no repeat-viewing value.",3
"You'll love this if you love La La Land or any other Hollywood movie that celebrates itself. A world famous singer who ""hates fame"" (yep, we haven't heard that before). A wannabe singer who writes, composes, plays instruments and sings and is ""shy"" yet can't help sing everywhere she goes. This is pure Hollywood telling everyone how amazing Hollywood and fame is, while glorifying alcoholism, violence and self destruction.

But above all that, this movie is BORING! I've honestly felt zero interest in the characters. The dialogue was pointless and banal. Every scene felt like scenes from millions of other movies. Even the directing is horrible - every scene is a close-up, which fails to give perspective and rarely ever let's the viewer see the overall picture.

How this movie a can win all these rave reviews is a testament to Hollywood celebrating itself. Lady Gaga plays herself. Bradley Cooper plays himself. Two arrogant individuals who combine to produce utter drivel that has no basis in reality. Even the songs... My godness, everything is just so tragic and melodramatic!

By about halfway through I wanted to kill myself.",3
"A heavy, powerful watch if not in any way an enjoyable one. Similar to Schindler's List in a way, in that it's important material that's well-acted and deeply moving, but also very tough to get through in places. That comparison isn't completely fair, of course. Though Chiwetel Ejiofor serves well in the leading role and Lupita Nyong'o is memorable (if one-note) in support, there is no Liam Neeson-level central performance in this picture and the cast very quickly falls into camps of good and evil with little middle ground. Michael Fassbender fares best as the deeply troubled alcoholic slave-owner Epps, but he's present largely to be despised and as such his character lacks a thorough inspection. The other name actors, shoehorned in as bit roles, only serve to distract. We can slap an Amish beard on Brad Pitt and throw him onto a plantation, but it's still Brad Pitt in those suspenders and there's no getting around that. Well shot and expertly directed, it hammers predictably on the same point from start to finish. This is meaningful, often chilling work, but not something I'm going to feel compelled to revisit in the very near future.",7
"I first played the game (well I am still playing it. Playthrough #4), then read the books. The series is really great. Good actors, CGI is OK (but it really does not really matter). Closer to the books than the game (which is a good thing).",6
Movie was so interesting and didn't want to skip one single second. It was great work of all the cast and background team. Specially the Mia role it played so well by Sophie. Keep it up we need more content and let's try to promote out of country I mean specifically Asia there are more people to watch it just all about marketing but this one you kill it guys I was checking the profiles of the cast its really interesting as myself doing acting training and will hit on screen soon for sure but when I see your work guys I felt bad that I should started early from my school time but still I got more scope. Thanks guys great job.,10
"Let me see... Cliché after cliché. Nothing much to say about this film except that.

This ""movie"" leaves no doubt that these Potter films finally turned out to nothing but a Hollywood franchise and box office wannabe-hits.

In a movie about magic, magicians etc. Things and topics, one really wants to see a ""car chase"", really? Or a subpar CGI goblin/elf like in that-other-movie-series about ""My precious""? Or so many other self-evident and obvious scenes?

Nothing more to say, really. So much promise, so little to say.",2

"this is the one of the best movie of KHAN...........one only Shahrukh.... this cinema is center about a man,Rizwan Khan who suffers from autism or commonly known as asperger's syndrome. so Rizwan, an innocent, clean hearted, simple guy who believes there are only two types of people in this world; those who are good and those who are bad. The reason for his innocence and candidness is due to the Asperger's Syndrome. the story is simple but effective.Rijwan who loves mandira(kajol).Kajol is at her usual best and the chemistry between the leading pair is something to die for. but this is not a just a lovestory like DDLG or KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI.. in the first half of this movie,just a typical love story where rijwan falls in lovw with mandra ,divorcee with a child.but but there is something different story,different skill of acting to other movie. and the 2nd half...............what a nice...movieeeee.in this part we love rizwan surely.No movie in recent times has given so much of emotional attachment with the characters of the film!!The movie deals with effects of 9/11 which shook the world! for this reason rizwan and mandira lost their child for the last name of rizwan........KHAN. Then Rizwan sets out to see the president of USA to tell that he is khan and he is not a TERRORIST and it shows wonderfully how the people should be strong to chuck away their fears.. The main highlights of the movie are SRK and the climax! Oh what a climax the movie has!so 2nd half of the movie is center about rizwan how he went to the president of USA. there is another part which help to make a new world of rijwan is the SONG.TERE NAINA, NURJAHA,SAJDA... WHAT A SONG...AND of course my review is not COMPLETED without a YOUNG man who direct this movie...... KARON JOHAR..Moving away from all stereotyped roles,acting,storyline, this movie places its flag of its own.All credits to Karan Johar for telling such a complex subject in such simple words.

SO It is undoubtedly one of the most moving & meaningful movies which has been spurned out from Bollywood.Go Watch this Soul-Tearing movie which forces you to re-think about the myths of religion,classes,communities & genders in which the human beings are classified every now & then.. LETS ENJOTY THIS MOVIE .......",10

"I watched this movie for a second time this evening, the first being at least 25 years ago. I had forgotten the details of the story, and I didn't find myself trying to fill in the blanks like I sometimes do when memories are revisited in an extended session (whatever the running time of the film). It impressed me that I simply wanted to watch the performances and experience the flow of the film. I think it has aged remarkably well. Some of that is due to the acting, which is really quite good, but there's also not much of the story that is rooted in time. If anything, having such video footage is probably more commonplace today.",8
"Do yourself a favour and watch Quest for Fire which is clearly an inspiration for this. It's a masterpiece. Alpga is a mixed bag of surrealism and reality and sometimes it works and sometimes it feels too much like fantasy. I'm absolutely thrilled however, that a film like this can be made in today's Age, being over saturated with boring remakes, franchises and superhero films. That's got to be worth something. And it is. It feels fresh. I thought it too reliant on computer effects. Even the standard landscapes looked altered. In parts it reminded me of Sky Captain, being totally studio bound. Takes you out of the experience. Same with the animals. The danger doesn't exist because they don't look real. Budget may have something to do with this. The buffalo scenes in Dances with Wolves were far more intense and I believe none were killed. Which wasn't the case for this film. An awful shame because they don't look real at all. Full marks for creating a language, keeping it short and having a good crack at fairly original entertainment even if some scenarios weren't plausible. My 8 year old and I both enjoyed it so succeeds in crossing the age gap. It's not a 10 or a 1. Some ridiculous reviews nowadays. Not a classic but certainly worth watching. Dont forget Quest for Fire. Amazing.",7
"Started stupid, really thought it was a true story adaptation. Later, after looking at the film reviews of the public, I realized that it was not. What's even more amazing is that a Japanese woman actually traversed mountains and mountains in the snow and ice to find the treasures in the movie, but she froze to death. I fainted completely. Do normal people no longer have the ability to distinguish between true and false?",8
I like the time it took to flesh out the backstory for the major sides in the city! I thought the series was too short and hope that they have more on the characters sooner rather than later or never.,9
"This is as simple as a kids Movie and the stereotype characters and simple-minded dialogues made me laugh. Womens (beside Ms. Miles) are completely missing. A lot of scenes are ungainly constructet (wheel nut, stopwatch, ...) or just boring. And why the hell Mr. Miles carries everywhere in the world everytime the same coffee pot? And beside all this to me the race scenes weren't really thrilling.",5
"Quite possibly the greatest sequel ever made.

The continuing saga of the Corleone crime family tells the story of a young Vito Corleone (Robert DeNiro) growing up in Sicily and in 1910s New York; and follows Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) in the 1950s as he attempts to expand the family business.

A good movie for me is one that does not end with the credits. Too many movies are designed merely to amuse or entertain for 90 minutes or so. But there are other movies that cling to you, stay in your subconscious and you don't forget them. ""Jaws"" for example, who does not hear the ""Jaws"" theme and worry a little about what's below them when they are swimming just a little too far out in the ocean!!

Godfather 2 is another of those movies. Even before the short opening credits have finished, the movie already starts to take effect. This is not just a gangster movie, it's a movie that poses deep moral problems for all of the main characters. It doesn't attempt to answer questions. The rights and wrongs that these people do to each other. What would I have done, had I been in Michael Corleone's shoes?

Of the cast, Al Pacino deserved the Oscar for his work in this, the middle of his three Oscar Nominations for Best Actor in a row 73-75. ""Serpico"" and ""Dog Day Afternoon"" the other two. Even if Dustin Hoffman (Lenny) or Jack Nicholson (Chinatown) won that night, you could still argue that Pacino deserved it for his tour de force performance. But Art Carney winning (Harry & Tonto) makes the decision not to give it to Pacino all the more baffling. He is simply the core of a movie, which runs at over 3 hours long.

Robert Duvall effectively underplays as his mild mannered adviser Tom Hagan. An Oscar nominated Talia Shire shows she deserved a better career than being type cast a Adrian Balboa in the ""Rocky"" franchise. Her scene towards the end with Pacino should have seen her take the award home, but she was inexplicably beaten by Ingrid Bergman (For Murder On The Orient Express) Bruno Kirby looks more than at home in his scenes with De Niro and it's a wonder how he never got more work in this genre. Next gangster movie he made was again with Pacino and this time with Johnny Depp 1997's ""Donnie Branco"" which is a shame, he'd have made a great Al Capone. Lee Strasberg deserves special mention too for his role as Hyman Roth as does Joe Spinelli. A young actress called Kathleen Beller makes an impression in her small role, and it's a shame she never had more of an acting career.

And that is without even mentioning The Superb Robert De Niro who did win the Oscar Beating his costars Lee Strasberg and Michael V. Gazzo as well as after Astaire and a young Jeff Bridges (Thunderbolt and Lightfoot) to the award. This was a young De Niro when Mean Streets was the only movie he'd made of more, and you could already see his future as one of our greats.",10
"Dark Knight.

If anything good came of this, the movie prompted me to get off my keester and sign up at IMDb, if only at the outrage (OK, maybe disbelief) that this movie is rated 9.1 and currently the 3rd highest ranked movie in IMDb history.

Long time reader and user but non-contributor here, now needing to get this off my chest.

Even if you go into this movie with the low expectations that need to go with comic book movies, this one stretches far fetched to new limits.

The acting, aside from the performance offered by Ledger, was given a terrible screenplay and it showed, and at time makes you want to look away. Bale is horrible as Batman, a hoarse menacing voice accompanied by an overacting mouth, made we wish for Michael Keaton again.

I could go on, but I won't. To say that this movie is better than Schindler's List, La Dolce Vita, It's a Wonderful Life, and about 100 other movies that are great to OK, makes me lose just a little faith in our internet institutions.",4
"The lowest QT movie I have rated is 7/10 and the highest PF 10/10 so I like his movies. I'm not sure who this was made for, there is a little bit of action in the last ten minuets but definitely not worth the wait and to be honest they should feel ashamed how they showed what was a tragic part of Hollywood history. I give it a 4/10 because it was definitely well made and the acting was pretty decent. Honestly wish I'd watched something else.",4
"Story line good so far but the most irritating thing is the Sound Mix. One minute you can't hear the actors talking quietly, the next minute you are getting blasted out of the room with high volume music or effects. Sound up, sound down, sound up sound down. There must be some sort of compromise to the point I will stop watching it. Good actors, special affects and screen play, just far too much variation in sound levels. Fix that and I am sure the rating would improve.",6
Vv good 10/10. Love the dynamic and the ending of the movie.,10
"This latest telling of the Avengers left me lacking any enthusiasm with the franchise. I didn't find any warmth, chemistry, fun, anticipated dread, fear, drama, comedy in this showing. The robot wasn't menacing and the extraneous B story dragged on too long and wasn't necessary. I really didn't need to know about the wife and kids. And with the hype surrounding the robot, it wasn't menacing in the clashing with the Avengers. The drones proved not as tough as it was lead on to be, they were more of pest in the grand scheme of things. Bigger sometimes, is not always better. After viewing this, there was no lasting memory once the film was over with, you just wanted to forget about what you saw.",3
"When nations get together and decide the Avengers need to be supervised rather than allowed to fight evil on their own terms, it causes a split in the group. The Iron Man leads the group that joins the government, but Captain America refuses to surrender his independence and leads a group that is going its own way in pursuit of an evil man who is using psychological control to deploy terrorists.

The dialogue is a bit hokey in places, but, that's the beauty of the Avenger movies, it's about a more innocent time when such hokey dialogue was the way people really talked. Lots of extra characters in this one, including an African king's son who is a cat figure with amazing powers, and Spider Man, an adolescent fighting with the grownups.

While this one is typical Marvel action, there are also some philosophical messages skillfully inserted in this, the best Avenger movie yet.",9
"This series is an amazing , i can't wait for next week to see the next episode :]",9
"It's clearly inspired by a Quiet Place but with the premise of the Happening. While all around not bad, it certainly wasn't memorable or tense or really that good. At least a quiet place was tense with characters I cared about and the happening was hilarious. This was a forgettable melodramatic the happening",4
"It could had been easily inferred that this movie wasn't destined to be any good; at least by the original Sherlock Holmes character. Because not only feels that it was forced into a newer era; but that it was the first installment on a stupid, deficit attention series. I'm not against pimping it; a little. But this just went all overboard. So much, in fact; that it just doesn't make any sense. Which is an obv problem, specially in a series that prides itself on logical deduction and thinking. The first issue it had was that it simply was too modernized. The late 1800s settings were merely a visual style; for it could as easily been set in the mid 1900s, without any other noticeable contrivance. Eg, electromagnetism wasn't even well established; let alone the building of hand-held, singular radio controlled devices. What's next; gas driven automobiles?! So if you're going to introduce those elements in the grandfather of murder mysteries; then make sure there aren't so many anachronistic mistakes. Or you'll end steampunking your way into another pitiful, unintended comedy; like The Wild Wild West, and that's not a good idea. The second is that the movie also portrays Sherlock too unrealistic; even more than originally intended. Ie, as a spiritual new age renaissance man / master of disguise / mad scientist / weird delusional genius / expert hand to hand combatant / biological chemist / etc, etc, etc; you name it. Since he was so much high and mighty stuff; the question begs; why does he need Watson in the first place then? (Medical expertise obv notwithstanding) Well, it turns out, he doesn't really need anyone; unsurprisingly. At least, to solve this ""mystery"" (standard bland self revealing plot, really) Everybody that lives in the real world knows (even if intuitively) that things are probabilistic, not deterministic; without any need for modern convoluted physical models. There are lit thousands of explanations that could equally qualify for any given deduction. Eg, there's a scene when he gets ""wrong"" the finger mark of a ring on Watson's fiancée. So why is that the only thing he fails at it?! The ratio of hit/misses shown is obv statistically impossible. It's like he's even above godlike psychic normal humankind, and nobody else is on par; except at the final introduction of his commonplace nemesis. Yet another example would be that we're supposed to believe that he can ""infer"" where he's at; after being taken blindfolded for a carriage ride? Why do people bother to begin with; seriously!? I for once, would like to point out that the emperor is; indeed; naked. But thirdly and lastly, the worst was the plot itself; this was an even greater affront to all true Sherlock Holmes fans. Without revealing too much of it; it would be suffice to say that is also an extension of Sherlock's superhuman capabilities. Ie, just a coincidental dumb excuse to show off. It revolves around trying to stop a creepy cliché guy for making himself ruler of the UK, and the US, as well. Again; why stop there, when you can have the whole world :rolleyes: Apparently common megalomaniacal villains from back then also never did bother to kill their adversaries from the start. Yet, it couldn't be more boring that sitting thru this movie. Or maybe he knew that Sherlock would have inferred his lame attempt; or that he'd then start dodging bullets Matrix style :shakehead: There just wasn't any stop to the ridiculousness of this silly film. Nevertheless, on a positive note; it was pretty to look at, had high production values, and had some decent performances (except Downey's accent obv); but it still wasn't a good addition overall to the Sherlock's saga, IMHO. Unless you're planning the next movie to be an even more ludicrous hybrid James Bond/MI type of deal, of course. Bottomline; it was just another sad case of form over substance cash-in milk cow...",3
A train wreck. But I did watch it. Perhaps I will learn to forget it.,2

"The first episode is rather intriguing. I, personally, love the mystery surrounding Steven. And I'm extremely excited to see what they do with his DID (hopefully they don't give bad representation).",7
"I'm coming to this moving having read a book on the Battle of Britain and seen a documentary on Dunkirk. Apparently, that is already too much knowledge. The historical inaccuracies in this movie are astounding and make watching it absolutely pointless. From the point where the beaches are missing 300-350k soldiers, the movie just can't be saved. Then you add in that this movie is incredibly boring, focuses almost entirely on characters you just can't like (apart from the captain, he was awesome) and this narrative element of allotting the soldiers a week, the boat a day and the plane one hour. And at that point, in addition to all I mentioned above, none of it makes any sense. Go and watch a documentary instead, or watch a better movie like ""Tumbledown"".",2
"As much as I have affection for Raising Arizona and The Big Lebowski, I despise Fargo, as repulsive a movie as I can think of (and only exceeded in pornographic ugliness by No Country for Old Men).

Fargo is a nauseating piece of rotten meat, run through a wood-chipper. It's a one-joke blood bath, and that one joke is how supposedly dopey North Dakotans sound.

I left this trash feeling utterly dispirited and dirty. I waited for my wife and toddler daughter to get home from work and day care. The feelings went away, but the disgust left a scar.

Shame on the Coen brothers.",1
"Everyone knows that Iron Man is Tony Stark (Downey). What everyone doesn't know is that he is dying, but yet he has to find a way to defeat Vankov's (Rourke) Iron Man drones.

There is Dumb (Iron Man 1) and there is Dumber, Iron Man 2. This is a CGI show and it's pretty good. But, the story suffered badly from a very bad script especially in the beginning when the audience needs to be grabbed. Much of the dialogues seemed dubbed in, just like in Iron Man 1. Not much had changed.

Downey and Rourke come off better than anyone else in the cast. Paltrow seemed lost again like in Iron Man 1. Johansson, while still looking good, was wasted except for some Karate, Kung Fu and JuJitsu stuff if that was really her. Looked good though with those moves, whoever it was. Don Cheadle needs to stop being the second fiddle sidekick, and needs to find his own movie again like Rwanda. He is truly wasted in here. Rockwell seemed tentative in his bad guy role. Jackson seemed disappointed that he couldn't pontificate more.

Like I said, this is a CGI show and it was spectacular, but the script really hurt the effort. Again, there is dumb and there is this. Let's all light a candle and hope there is no Iron Man 3. Now, if you are a true Iron Man fan, go read the comic instead. It's far better than anything Hollywood could do.

Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Language: No hard stuff was heard, but the caption in the beginning said

Mild Language, which means you could see the lips form the F-bomb words, but not hear them.",2
"Jennifer Lawrence was pretty much the sole reason I decided to watch this film. At the end I was glad to have picked this one and not just for Jennifer Lawrence. One could say that the plot is predictable and all schemes are pointless, but I still found it entertaining. I wasn't sure until the end of the movie, how everything would end even though it did end up being as I would have predicted. The depiction of Russia might have been bit overboard, but so what.

Good entertainment for me, nice to watch Jennifer's film, won't be remembering this one for too long. Also I liked the theme behind the movie and showing what was the purpose of the main character all along.",8
"I think its actually pretty good. Sure there are things that could be better. But if you want the old series then watch that. If it were a carbon copy why bother watching it at all? The old series had terrible props. The CGI on the new one is great!. Not everyone watches every little nuance or cares. I just want to be entertained and it is entertaining. Try to enjoy something for a change, rather than complain....",8
"So I'm shocked this film received a 15 Rating. This is more a PG12 affair mainly targeted at 8-14 year old audience. The whole movie is set inside a house over a night and so you can imagine there is not a lot they do with it. Three fourth of the film is teenagers talking to each other or approaching mysterious objects in a room in slow motion. I so wished there was a fast forward button somewhere. It's not hard to see the film was made with a bare minimum budget, as most of the effects were practical effects , like smoke machines and thread work to move things like cups and chairs. It's obvious this was intended to be a quick money grabbing movie before they release the next edition of Conjuring. Stay well away from this film, it's nowhere near Ouija, Conjuring or the previous Annabelle movies. A colossal waste of time and money.",1
"Is this tale supposed to be comedic in any way or...? I'm asking this in all seriousness since I'm neither familiar with the books nor the games. I've only heard that ""The Witcher"" might be something that GOT fans would like to watch. And that's why I expected it to be an epic fantasy tale that has a kinda realistic tone to it. However, the costumes, the visual effects and the overacting reminded me more of some light-hearted, humorous fantasy shows I've watched. It, in fact, gave me Wendimoor/Dirk Gently season 2 vibes. That's not a bad thing per se, but, for me, the problem is that ""The Witcher"" tries to be very dark and serious at the same time. So I don't know what to make of this. It's also quite hard to follow up with the story line. I've watched 4 episodes so far and I'm still not sure what this is all about.",5
This is called the best film ever sometimes I've lost count. Nonsense! The world is in dyre straights. This silly lightweight story is the dropping of the bull. The lead character is ridiculous. He is a mentally challenged man. I enjoy triumph over adversity but seriously? Forrest Gump was the best man in every situation in all the time always? Nonsense! He was in all there famous part of history when he was alive? Go away with your nonsense! The film visuals are nice and the sounds and the rest of it. But Tom Hanks is more terrible then my child at acting. My child is bad at acting. Really he is bad acting. But he is better then the hanks as Forrest Gump. I see all the good reviews and read the book it is made from and thought it silly nonsense as well so maybe it's me????,4
"The plot of the movie was very interesting and kinda different than the previous ""Annabelle"" movies. The storyline was kinda well-written, even though there were some unexplained parts during the movie. The characters were very interesting and kinda likeable, but not very well-developed. The filming location of the movie was basic, just a big creepy house. Sadly, ""Annabelle Comes Home"" was the least scariest movie of the franchise and most jumpscares were totally predictable. The casting was really good and the acting was nice. The opening scene of the movie (first 12 minutes) was super creepy and really intense, I really liked it. The ending scene was definitely expected and it was just okay. Overall, it was an average movie (probably, the worst movie of the franchise), not really scary, but it was super intense.",7
"This is an odd film for sure, one that's starts with a clear direction then moves into a character study and finalizes as an artistic summation of both. Having read some pretty scathing reviews I'll say that the acting was much better than expected. This film has Russell written all over it and deserves to be regarded as a unique attempt on the director's behalf. If you enjoyed American Hustle, Amsterdam similarly meanders around a central thought. Without revealing any parts of the gripping finale, I'll say that it's a movie that resonates well inside our modern era. Watch it, think it over, and enjoy exactly what Amsterdam attempts to do with a cinematic audience.",7
"To be spoiler free I am going to keep details out of the review...

This was a mediocre movie stitched together by a lot of nonsense scenes that seemed to be present just for a shock or a joke.

None of the characters behaved with anything resembling common sense. Their actions would contract themselves within seconds. Their motivations made little sense and seemed to vary from moment to moment.

Many plot points were contrived and ultimately just red herrings, which made whole sections of the movie pointless.

The incidental music seemed out of place and intrusive. Turning scenes comical when they were meant to be serious.

There were a lot of ""concepts"" in the movie, most of which were given very little explanation.

Scenes were overly gory and violent in ways that did not further the plot. It seemed more like a ""what can we get away with"" sort of thing. Much more akin to a slasher movie than an action or MCU movie.

Then, in true TV fashion, the convoluted plot is mostly and neatly resolved in the last five minutes.

I'm not one to harp on ""x character wasn't like the comics"" as a reason to bad mouth a movie. However, I do expect the characters to have some consistency within the movie. It's not character development when a character changes on a moment's notice for no reason; it's just bad writing / editing.",2
"I was really excited for this movie as it was quite hyped up. As soon as the movie was on discount, I grabbed it. The premise is pretty cool, it's sort of refreshing. Apart from that, the movie is your usual horror flick. It's a decent one, but not shockingly good or groundbreaking. You turn it off, think ""cool"", and it's gone. No longer in mind.

If you search for a horror movie for people who're not used to watching scary movies, this will be a very good choice. In my view, it's not that good of a choice for horror movie fans - at least if you want something special, the cherry on your sundae.",6
"I've only watched two episodes so far, yet the way Deborah Harkness and company have folded the book into itself is worthy of magic itself! Not to mention the cinematography and the score, the things left to the imagination by intelligent editing, and, of course, the acting. The casting is delightful. It had me wrapping my head around Greg McHugh's rather Widmerpool-ish face as Hamish, realizing the great wisdom of having him personify the demon. The leads are superb. I am as entranced here as I am when reading the novels. I have a feeling the annual subscription price to Sundance Now is already the best money I've spent this year.",10
"It's undoubtedly one of best phychological thriller out there. At the beginning of movie I thought it was just a normal movie in which a person having dissociative identity disorder imagining himself in the call. But when the film progress the plot become more and more engaging with some unexpected twist and turns with a great ending.

It is a must watch of anyone who loves to watch phychological thrillers the plot, songs, acting, dialogues, casting everything is perfect. And as compared to movies bollywood is making now a days it is an absolute masterpiece.",10
"This show is a real mixed bag. Each episode, like many shows, is directed by different teams. Sadly the skill levels between these directors/teams is often very telling. One episode will have excellent fight choreography and gritty atmosphere, and the next will be a brightly-lit, atmosphere-free, and a Xena-esque cheap feeling affair. (the dragon episode springs to mind...urghh)

However, when it's good, it really is very entertaining. It has some nice action sequences and solid acting for the most part. (a few supporting cast are clearly a bit green) I wasn't sold on the publicity shots of Henry Cavill as Geralt, but he's actually pretty good and grows on you as the show progresses. He manages gruff, tough-guy nicely, but keeps a hint of tongue-in-cheek and delivers some very humorous moments too.

It's also not the kind of show that holds your hand and leads you from plot point to plot point, like some paint by numbers bore-fest. You need to pay attention. This isn't the kind of show you half watch while checking who liked your latest selfie on Insta. Many seem to be lost by the shows erratic time-line and multi-threaded plot. It's a bit of a mad show at times, but It's not that complicated really. Just focus, people!

It must be said, the reviewers giving this a 9/10 or 10/10 are either inflating due to fanboy-ism, countering the racism, or are possibly drunk? It's no 10...yet.

Likewise, the 4 and under reviewers are just jumping on the negative bandwagon, or in worst cases (the 1's and 2's) are down-voting because they are sensitive little INCELS, afraid of strong woman. Or they are annoyed that some dark skinned folks got parts in a ....FICTIONAL.... European middle-ages setting...but are totally fine with Dragons, werewolves, elves, magic, wizards, wraiths, etc. None of which EVER existed in Europe or anywhere else for that matter. (Just a quick FYI though... Africans, Moors and Arabs had been happily living and trading across Europe since the 700's AD. Many only being driven out much later in the post-middle ages 14/1500's by Catholic purges and intolerance. The Romans were even moving non-white slaves and subjects around much of Europe since 200 BC - check your history before you whine, guys, seriously!)

Don't get me wrong. Some of the casting is jarring. Some of the effects are 10 years out of date and the dialogue can feel forced and weak at times. This isn't likely to win any awards just yet, but it's entertaining, it's plot is intriguing, it's different to the other fantasy offerings and it has a solid foundation to work from. With a boost in budget, and cutting some of the weaker talent, this could be a really great show with a bright future.

Ignore the bigots AND the fanboys. It's a decent 7/10 and worth a look. Just don't go in expecting the next GOT and you may well enjoy this.",7
"The show is beautiful and immersive, but i couldn't follow it after a mixed chapter of the concepts of the future and the past. Compared to the first season was very nice in my opinion I'm waiting for the sequel...",9
"Superhero movies don't normally have logic, complex story or deep character development. But even considering those standards this movie fell short.

A lot of older marvel movies had way more logic, character development than this. This had more fancy CGI and longer fight sequences. The whole package seemed off and not enjoyable to watch.",2
This movie is ahead of its time. Highly underrated masterpiece. Everytime i watch this tears roll down from my eyes. There are very few adjectives in english dictionary to describe this movie. That's all..,10
"Enjoyed the humor very much but the 7 monsters were unexpectedly too horrid. Not for kids 12 and under in my opinion. 10 year old in front of me was terrified. Ruined whole movie for me, darkness too dark no matter how funny it could be.",6
"Inspiring... good.

Bgm was perfect.

All characters were good at their own.

Some cinematic shots could be better.",8
"I'm a time travel and science fiction fan, but this movie was just way too preposterous and nonsensical to take. The plot is laughable, and its basically something you might catch on a really late night playing on the sci-fy channel, that kind of low-rent quality level. The only bright spot is the emergence of a new actress I had never heard of or seen before, the interestingly named Sarah Snook. She does a superb job with her character, and is much better than the movie deserves. I wish the whole movie had centered on her character, and then also had had a halfway decent story line too, instead of the ridiculous plot that is on display. 4 stars for her performance only, even though its wasted in a stinker movie like this one.",4
"I sat through the movie and walked out concluding it was a near dud. A confusing attempt at anachronistic triple time line story telling, no discernible plot or character motivations, minimal appearances by the only two actors I recognized (one of them thanks to Netflix), no women, etc., etc., etc. I gave it a ""3"" for photography and effects. Much better expected from Christopher Nolan. Save your money and get it on video. Or not at all.",3
Everyone should give this a go! I was hooked from the very first episode until the end. And boy I loved it.. made me care about the characters. Very good acting and camera work too :),9
"What is it with you millennial science fiction geeks? An 8.8 rating as of 8/19/19!? Are you kidding. This nonsensical film has a higher mumbo jumbo quotient than the laughable ' The Matrix.'

Worst spiderman movie i ve ever seen. Kinda glad there will be no more spiderman movies because these suck,3
"Talk to me definitely has an appeal, but unfortunately did not fully appeal to me.

The atmosphere was pretty well created and tension was consistent throughout the movie. I enjoyed the cinematography of the film. There were a lot of good shots that aided the tension and horror.

Unfortunately, I thought most of the cast was horribly annoying. As someone who was a teenager less than a decade ago, I've never met people like this, and I wouldn't care to. I think it's difficult to care what happens to the characters in a movie when they are so unlikeable. Part of what draws me to horror is being able to empathize with the characters, but I didn't feel an overwhelming desire to see any of the kids survive besides Riley; maybe I just had a soft spot for him because I have a little brother his age. Their decisions weren't very realistic, especially Mia's. I truly don't think a lot of what they did was realstic, but maybe I just simply haven't met people like this - who knows?

The gore wasn't too over the top, but there's a certain part that made me squirm. I have a stomach of steel, but anything related to a specific type of gore has always bothered me a little bit. For anyone who is squeamish about eyes, there is a brief part you may want to look away for.

I thought that the ending was pretty predictable, even if I was someone who hasn't seen a lot of horror. It also felt very rushed towards the end. I felt as if there was a lot more to say as the credits started rolling.

One thing that would've made the movie a lot better is if there had been discussion of the history of the hand. The hand was the most interesting part of the movie, yet its existence was never really explained beyond one vague sentence. I guess it was supposed to be a mystery, but I think a little bit of lore would've made the movie much more interesting.

Overall, it wasn't a bad movie by any means. It's just not something that I would rewatch. It was atmospheric and tense, but the finer details could have been crafted a bit better.",6
I have played the Witcher games and this is not how Triss and Yenefer look in the book or the game. Fringilla Vigo is also not as per the book or the game description. Henry Cavill does a great job being a Witcher. Giving this a 5/10 for bad casting.,5
"I must start with what is good about Queen's Gambit, chess is something new on television at least on mainstream television. The period set and costume is also exemplary. The background music gives very good mood to the series.

But everything else is ""Formulaic"" . Typical, predictable- Surviving difficulties, deaths, things going bad , alcoholic, addict. Outcome of every match is known. Victory at every stage. If the same story line was made with in a modern setting, it wouldnt have worked out. It is the period and the game that is different for this very formulaic "" underdog becomes genius"" story",7
"Stark the second is even more incomprehensibly gross than its predecessor - although bonus points for the genius Laurel n Hardy villain team of Rockwell and Rourke who are both having more fun and being hugely less problematic than the protagonists are. Good for the suitcase suit and Don Cheadle's armour - the pre-Avengers stuff literally feels like it was added in post and to hang the heart of it on the most flaccid film romance in modern history may be a mistake. Also, Elon Musk and Bill O'Reilly being in the mix here speaks volumes. 2010 feels like centuries ago.",5

"I was on holiday from the UK when this started. All I saw of it was social media comments about how great it is blah blah Reports on BBC about how great it is blah blah

It's a 6/10 at best guys.

Humans canny be trusted to make rational decisions or give honest opinions. We're all too desperate to be liked and have folk agree with us.

The hype surrounding this programme is partly our fault and partly the fault of the great PR machine that is destroying our feeble minds

Please please wake up, I beg you. This isn't amazing and you don't HAVE TO WATCH IT.",6
"This movie is... memorable. I went into it not knowing what to expect at all, which is how I'd recommend others watch it as well. I would rate the movie an 8, but I find it hard to justify why. If I imagine the exact same story being played out in an American setting, it would get a 4 from me at most. So I settled on a 6... The storyline is absolutely rediculous, but you can't help but to keep watching. Interestingly, the movie doesn't convince you to root for the main characters. That might be it's biggest strength. This movie is definitely worth the watch, if only so that you can form your own opinion.",6
I thought season 3 was the best one yet. It brought the different storylines of the characters together. I found it very entertaining. Loved the plot and subplots. There was more character development and the actors seemed to gain more depth. Couldn't wait to watch the next episode.,9
"Never been dissapointed by any movie that had Zimmer soundtrack. The movie was so bad that even zimmer couldn't save. Slow as hell, I fell asleep",2
It's the superhero series we've been waiting for. Great story line.,9
Nothing's new to watch. An ancient predictable plot. A very disappointing show in modern history.,1
"Most high ratings come from paid accounts created in december and from Witcher 3 game followers. The show is abysmal, acting writing cgi etc it's basically a parody. Avoid, especially if you like the books.",1
"The film was funny and a bit gripping. Some scenes were a little off and ridiculous like the rabbit scene, it's not built on any reality since Hitler Jugend was a brotherhood were you supported eachother. None in the film would have been tolerated.

But what is a hollywood film without demonizing Germans under the 1940's ey? Nazis are always evil in Hollywood. Every single one.

Anyway, the movie is funny, and the little guy carries the film with his great acting. Reminds me a lot of a Wes Anderson film in it's quirkyness and beautiful picture.

It did make me laugh a few times, like the disgraced captain and some other scenes.

The actress who played the jewish girl also did a great job, even though she didn't look jewish even one bit.",7
"""Glass Onion"" attempts to replicate the sharp wit and intricate plotting that made ""Knives Out"" a standout, but it loses some edge in the process. Where ""Knives Out"" deftly combined the cozy trappings of a classic whodunit with timely social commentary, ""Glass Onion"" veers towards the fantastical, stretching the bounds of plausibility.

In ""Knives Out,"" the Thrombey family felt like a believable, if dysfunctional, unit, each member with motives that were relatable. The film's setting, a stately mansion filled with secrets, provided a perfect backdrop for the detective work of Benoit Blanc, played with charismatic flair by Daniel Craig. His performance was one of the keystones of the film, alongside a tightly woven plot that delivered satisfying twists and a poignant social message.

On the other hand, ""Glass Onion"" trades this groundedness for a more flamboyant and far-fetched tale. Set on a private Greek island, the film's eccentric billionaire Miles Bron invites a group for a murder mystery party that becomes all too real. The stakes feel artificially inflated, and the characters lack the depth of the first film's ensemble. For example, the murder mystery party setup feels contrived and the 'onion' layers of the story, while ambitious, often come off as convoluted rather than clever.

The charm of ""Knives Out"" lay in its ability to surprise us within the confines of reality, whereas ""Glass Onion"" sometimes feels like it's trying too hard to outdo its predecessor's inventiveness. The twists seem more for shock value rather than serving the story.

Despite these criticisms, ""Glass Onion"" is not without its merits. The production design is stunning, and the ensemble cast brings a vibrant energy to the screen. However, I found myself yearning for the more understated and shrewd storytelling of ""Knives Out.""

As we anticipate ""Knives Out 3,"" my hope is for a return to the roots of what made the original so engaging: a clever, tightly plotted mystery that feels as sharp as a blade and as cozy as a worn leather armchair. A return to form would be a welcome sight, indeed.",6
"Steve cloves+David Yates = Another perfect harry potter movie

This movie is definitely the best movie for David Yates. Though the previous Harry Potter movie was not that great, Yates carves this one to a masterpiece. The audience via this movie come to know , that nowhere is safe and the ease with which the death eaters spot the lead. I bet you really love the intensity in the gripping screenplay. And there are more than 3 occasions where many can't stop them from holding their seats. This flick will be even more exiting if you watch in 3d. The key-porting scenes, the snake-fight scene will increase your adrenaline . And you'll be like , ""whats gonna happen next!!!!!""

Love= Visual effects ,Action , Performance, Screen play , Direction Hate= almost nothing ,except for a stretchy screen play in between

Definitely this one is the motion picture of the year !!!!",9

"I love Christopher Nolan. He's great. He rarely disappoints. In fact, I'm not sure he has yet, until this movie.

It's not terrible. Maybe my expectations were too high. But it's just so... heavy. Everything is like super life or death heart-attack serious, and it makes it hard to enjoy sometimes. I know conflict is the bread and butter of movies, but really, at a certain point I want to breathe and enjoy myself, even a teensy bit. I think there's like 2 jokes in this whole thing. Not that it needs to be super jokey, but that's a reflection of some of the weight issues.

The acting is superb. The effects are great. I didn't buy the ending at all really (and I saw it coming from like minute 2) but whatever, i watch a lot of sci-fi so that's to be expected.

I do think the robots were cool looking, but impractical as hell.",6
"Amazing Movie. Actually there is nothing that you actually dislike in the movie except the fact that many of the scenes or instances never acctually happened however the intentions by which director potrayed all these scenes totally matched with the spirit of the movie.

Its about the NEW AGE INDIA that believes in Defensive Offense rather than total defensive in its war and strategy aspect. All thanks for PM for nominating Ajit Doval that was very well played by Paresh Rawal though I hope that Danny would have played that role even far greater perfection.

Movie was very fast paced and many real details of surgical strike were not included e.g how Indian Army took care of all Pakistan Army Dogs that can sense things that humans cannot do etc. For people interested in more details of surgical strike can watch other documentatries on it. However when a directory releases a movie he needs to take the proper masala mix of everything and so its ok.",10
"The original cartoons by Charles Addams are wonderful. Dark, subversive and witty. Over the years there have been various attempts to adapt them to TV and films, with varying success. Here is the latest attempt, although this time the focus is on Wednesday Addams.

This really felt far removed from the Addams family origins. Sure the various usual characters make an appearance, it has the gothic trappings etc. But the narrative was more like that in Harry Potter, set in a boarding school, with Wednesday having to solve a series of attacks by a mysterious monster.

The story wasn't really that interesting, the attempts at humour really fell flat. Wasn't the whole point of the original Addams family that they were subverting the typical American family and way of life, where is anything even remotely like that here? If you set it in a school for outcasts, then what is the point? None of the jokes work when everyone is an outcast.

On the plus side it looks great, the actors all fit their roles well and give good performances. I don't think Tim Burton really did a lot here, it doesn't feel like he had much involvement at all.",4

"If there is one thing I have learned over the last one decade, its not to have any expectations from an SRK film. Barring Chak De India, he has hardly had anything noteworthy in the last ten years that could re-establish his diminishing credentials as a great actor, notwithstanding, his ever growing super stardom. Even though he had strong performances in My Name Is Khan and partly Jab Tak Hai Jaan, he was unable to save those sinking ships due to lack of story.

Despite all that, FAN called for expectations of a better film. A great SRK film where he could re-live the Chak De magic. For starters, the premise was unique, even though inspired from the Robert DeNiro's Fan. At least SRK was not going to be romancing sari clad girls singing in unrelatable exotic locations. If anything, it was a song-less film. Mere association of Varun Grover with the film made it more intriguing. If you don't know who Varun Grover is, you may stop reading further. The guy is a genius. Maneesh Sharma and Habib Faisal made a formidable team in Band Baaja Baraat and under delivered in the follow-ups. Fan was going to be their chance a redemption with everything going their way.

Except, it didn't.

There is nothing visibly wrong with Fan as such. Its not a Tees Maar Khan where you just want to leave the theater half an hour into the film. Its actually the lost opportunity that makes you cringe. A simple ""what it could have been"" had it been treated better. What if the makers of the film stayed true to the essence of the film instead of going preachy and instead of glorifying SRK more and more? What if they had worked harder on developing the real conflict of the story instead of focusing on four silly chases. What if they had made pulling it off more difficult for the poor hapless Fan instead of the super famous and resourceful star.

I am all for creative liberty and taking leap of faith, however, despite all my generosity, I struggle to believe when a film star allows a fan to enter his van alone with him so that he can beat him up. I refuse to accept a super star running after his fan on the streets chasing him while no personal body guard or cops step up to take the responsibility. And even if I accept the poor fan's reach to places like London and Dubrovnik in one week, I won't able to accept his access to untraceable phones, reaching high security areas without any problem and escaping the police every time. Never mind the climax fist fight between the two resulting in a long sanctimonious speech by the star.

Its still not a disaster though. There are several enjoyable sequences in the 140 minutes long film. The hesitant romance between Gaurav and his Delhi girlfriend is full of warmth and should have been exposed a little more. Gaurav's parents' chemistry with their son is good. The jibes at SRK's lifestyle coming from his staff and other people make you smile. SRK knows how not to take himself too seriously unlike another big Khan of the industry. Production design by Maneesh Sharma's usual suspect Abid T.P, costumes by the newbie Niharika Bhasin and make-up are highlights of the film. Academy Award winner Greg Cannon and his team did a great job of creating Gaurav, the Fan.

Fan is an SRK film and only an SRK film. Other than SRK there is hardly any other prominent actor in the film. He shoulders the responsibility of lifting the film alone. His effort is strong and worthy but he is let down by scantily executed script where Habib Faisal was unable to do justice to an intriguing premise. Despite the limitations of the story, SRK has done well. His portrayal of Gaurav has the energy and passion of a 20-year-old while Aryan has the maturity and composure of an aging actor. He does go overboard in a few scenes, specially the ones with his staff and cops, but overall manages to show great restraint. There is, however, a conscious effort to portray a certain image of Aryan Khanna, which is how SRK wants the world to know him. This film has a purpose to serve as a PR machinery for SRK. To show people his struggle, his family-man image and his constant struggle with his own stardom.

Had all the 'what if' questions been taken care of, Fan could have gone as one of the best performances of SRK's career and possibly the best film of the year. As it stands now, Fan is an interesting film with several disappointing moments.",5
"This movie had so much potential but in the opening sequence it already loses the audience. The special effects are amazingly executed but they never stop. Its like a special effects portfolio. It would have better not trying to pretend like their was a storyline, because the story is immensely weak.

It's supposed to be fun and edgy like many movies of similar style but it so badly executed. They definitely had the budget. What a waste of 2 hours.

Ryan Reynolds might as well been wearing a red tight jumpsuit. It was a reprise of the Deadpool character without the great script. Just overzealous sarcasm without the payoff.

Watch at your own risk",3
"*SPOILERS*

Let me start out by saying that The Silence of the Lambs is my favorite movie of all time. So I put off watching this show for 2 years in fear that it would ruin the Clarice character even more than Julianne Moore did. I was overjoyed to see them not even touch her (aside from some references to her in the Miriam Lass character). Additionally, I found Hugh Darcy's interpretation of Will Graham to be far more endearing than Edward Norton's. They strayed from the original material with the Freddie Lounds character, who in Red Dragon is a man. This was a brilliant move, Freddie was scheming and borderline psychotic without adding to the relative sausage fest that would have ensued had they stayed true to the source. They also used Freddie to help deliver the writer's plethora of sexual innuendos. My favorite character, though? Bedelia, and not just because I'm a huge X-Files fan. I found myself becoming impatient at the gap in the second season that she's away after she wisely ""peaces out."" For this reason, as well as Alana Bloom's character development (which I will touch on in a second), the first 6 episodes of the 3rd season were my favorite of the series. in fact, I think a spin off is in order: ""Hannibal and Bedelia's European Adventures."" My theory is that Bedelia is in fact the most twisted character in the series. Most would argue that that award should go to Hannibal, and rightly so, he's a sociopath, but Hannibal knows exactly what he's doing, and is fairly open about it. Bedelia on the other hand is either lying to herself, or has effectively tricked every character that she's come into contact with (including Hannibal) that her ""dark passenger"" (dropping a Dexter reference) is a product of peer pressure and professional curiosity as opposed to an all encompassing darkness akin to (but more controlled then) Hannibal's. I sincerely hope that Bedelia's feast in the closing seconds of the finale is her own doing, rather than Hannibal's revenge. In a perfect world, eating her leg is an act of compensation for the adrenaline vacuum that Hannibal left her when he ended the chase by jumping off a cliff. Now onto Bloom. I thought she sucked in the first two seasons, so naive. Not stupid, but certainly a narrow and fairly sunny world view (an interesting thing to have in her line of work). Her being the only real female character (Kats died) up until Margot was introduced became rather trying on my patience. I mean, really Alana? Jack got with the program. I understand that she had more history with Hannibal than Jack did, but good lord, she literally had to be pushed out a window to figure out what was really going on. In season 3, though, she did a complete 180. Alana 2.0! and I loved her. Baddass, decisive, a sense of humor drier than Arizona, it was awesome to see. I think the wardrobe shift to the ""modern noir"" genre helped with her transformation into basically a mobster hellbent on revenge (she used Mason's money to pay off the cops, remember?) Mason Verger was the perfect Hannibal bad guy. Creepy, twisted, and totally crazy. His relationship with Margot was instrumental in the writers teaching their audience to truly hate him, not begrudgingly, but ""he got what was coming to him when he ate his own face"" kind of hatred. Like the TV.com reviewer, I preferred the first half of the season and honestly could have watched the Hannibal/Bedelia, Vergers/Alana, Will/his own insanity dynamic for at least an entire season and possibly even a movie. In fact, somehow throw Bedelia in the final Verger show down scene and I'd put that DVD right next to The Silence of the Lambs on my shelf.",10
"However, also not one of his best movies. Unfortunately this movie is meandering and tedious at times.",5
"Seriously so boring and redundant, the characters are so weird and unlikeable, the person acting as Vanya is such a dull idiot, and the entire story is so lame and idiotic. There are hardly any superpowers to talk of and the story inches along. It is so badly made.",1
"This series reminds me of the terrible fantasy movies of the 1980's, except with better special effects. The dialogue is DREADFUL. Honestly, for all they spent on this show, they could've spent a little cash on a better writer (or screen adaptation, as I guess this is a decent book series) and a decent director. I don't watch series for pretty pictures--I watch for the story. I couldn't get through the first episode. About 20 minutes in, my husband and I looked at each other and pretty much said that the same time that we wanted to go watch something else. The dialogue seems to depend on snarky comebacks, which just made me cringe and feel embarrassed for everyone in the show. It looks like an expensive mess to me. If not for the nudity I would think this was targeted at children or young teens.",4
"As I write this, we are nearing the end of Season 04, the last season of Attack on Titan. The first 3 seasons have been fantastic, great animation, superb music and dialogue backed by an incredible story.

Sadly, all this seems to have been wasted as the last season seems to be a different story, in a different place and I feel it is being rushed to just get closure on Eren's story. It feels like a Game of Thrones ending is coming to Titan.

I will update this once the last episode has aired.",8

2- They defend Pakistan in terrorism ( Saying that India and Pakistan need to fight against terrorism together) Needless point at that scene discussing the positive approach.",7
"American Made is about as close to a true story as Fargo was claimed to be. That is, not in any way. Doug Liman takes the bit between the teeth and attempts to make some sort of adventure comedy about a guy, who undoubtedly while having a pair, was likely to be a greedy creep. That Liman succeeds to an extent, is largely due to his directorial skills, Tom Cruise's natural charisma and Gary Spinelli's script, which serves up an entertaining blend of one part fact, mixed with four parts fiction.

Cruise, who is the physical antithesis of the real life character he plays, brings a boyishly devil-may-care exuberance to his role of Barry Seal. Seal was a former TWA pilot who may or may not have flown missions for the CIA, but eventually did become a drug smuggler for the Medellín Cartel in the 1980s.

Punters who love Cruise and fancy a ""Jesse James was really a fun guy looking for a few thrills"" type of story will undoubtedly enjoy this lively romp, which features many historical figures earnestly addressing the screen in newsreel footage seamlessly integrated into the central narrative. Me, I just couldn't shrug the feeling that despite the professionalism of all concerned with the production, this is a story that didn't really need to be told in this format. Seal was no Indiana Jones type hero, who was seeking the betterment of his immediate community. He was as crooked as they come and ultimately probably got what he deserved.",6
"Completely aimless & criminally dull, Tarantino's (lack of) story gives a huge middle finger to the film's flawless production design & standout performances from Pitt, DiCaprio, & relative newcomer Julia Butters",3
"The movie was visually stunning. It had a better than average storyline and concept. However, this is one of the few times where I thought the music (yup - the MUSIC) got in the way. We saw the movie in IMAX to experience it... Not just watch it. Truthfully the music was often too loud and interfered with the dialog.... or in a scene where silence (or the sound of space) would have been much better. It actually got annoying on occasion. Other use of sound was fine. You'll feel the rocket launch, as if you were there in person. Otherwise, a really good movie. They'll be lots to discuss with other moviegoers after you've seen this one.",7
"One of the worst series I've ever seen. And I do not usually watch bad movies. Boring, filled with stupid dialogues, meaningless actions, characters without anything special.",4
"This show is utterly brilliant. It's characters have depth and are some of the most memorable characters to date. Particularly Okabe, who may be one of the greatest characters ever written, showing great depth and development throughout the series. The story is as good as it gets. Complex, emotional, and witty, this story will be one you will always remeber and can happily rewatch time and time again. The music is just icing on the cake, it alone is nothing incredible but it serves its purpose of creating suspense, relief, joy, and sorrow to the highest possibly degree.",9
"Christopher Nolan's made a lot of great movies. He's also made a couple conceptually cool movies that didn't quite work (looking at you, TENET.) And there's this misbegotten utter garbage. A film that promises to deliver a realistic cinematic examination of relativity, time dilation and intergalactic travel is actually a cloying family drama in which any semblance of scientific reality gets chucked out the space ship's power window in favor of some smarmy absolute nonsense about benevolent interdimensional aliens (see Contact, also starring Matthew McConaughey for some reason) and the power of love or something. What a waste.",2
"After suffering the Twilight movies it's hard not to make a comparison. I do appreciate that this series is based on a different literary work, and that it's cinematographically superiror and has good actors playing fully developed characters who show developement throughout the two seasons. Still, the breaking of the genre conventions lands it squarely in Twilight territory. Witches, vampires and demons, as presented in this show, are all ordinary people with the odd supernatural quirk. There's no grand evil, no true monsters and no otherworldly terrors, just regular folks who now and then conjur up some flimsy effect and hunt deer naked in the highlands and... nope, that's it. There's nothing supernatural about the demons in this show so far. And there's the forbidden love subplot, overdrawn of course.

It's a decent show, I watched it, it was fine. I do take issue with the manner in which the film industry reuses monster figures though. Horrors of the collective imagination that have lost their potency are being recicled and used to represent the misunderstood outcasts. It's just wrong.",5

"People say Curse has been lifted for video game adaptations now with Last of Us but I would say there is no need to jump the gun yet. I don't play video games so I can't compare it to the games so I ll only give my opinions of Last of Us as a tv show.

Well it starts of strong, love the chemistry between Joel and Ellie, visually the show looks amazing finally HDR is done right. BGM, costume, set design everything on point. The story has the heart. Violence is handled very well they don't show you the gruesome stuff but they let you know something bad was done. Episode 7 was at best a filler episode which we dont expect from a high profile HBO show. Finale was bit underwhelming it ends abruptly so there is no cliffhanger except you know there are few seasons coming so yeah what's next. One more thing, how did Joel get the strength to kill 3 people after he was injured ? He didn't eat, drink and just had one dose of penicillin some super human stuff or he got an instant medi pack.

Now we need to compare it to The Walking Dead. The first 3 seasons of TWD were pretty darn awesome after it went down hill. In my opinion first season of TWD was better than the first season of The Last of Us. It had the story, the the thrill, the zombies and the characters that you care for. The last of us fell short on the each of the above a wee bit. Sure Joel and Ellie were awesome but this needs to up it's game a bit. It needs to be better than first 3 seasons of TWD atleast to break the curse. Till then it's an 8.5 for me for season 1.",8
"This movie is mostly brain dead and has been crafted the wrong way. To make a good move you need to first have at a least triumvirate of: 1) Good story -not in this movie 2) Good script / dialogue - not in this movie 3) good characters - not in this movie

Then to make a good movie into a great movie add: 4) epic sound track -this movie has Epic Muse sound track! 5) epic IGI special Fx - this movie has epic M Bay bullet time cgi 6) epic cinematography - this move has average cinematography 7) good sets and costumes - this movie has good sets and costumes

In conclusion the movie is more of a music video filled with computer game like CGI bullet time images of headshots, but no other substance.",3

"Fine. It's fine.

No really. ""Ant Man"" is a sort of blah film. If this came out in the nineties it would have blown people away. In 2018, however, this film just doesn't have anything that stands out from the pack of superhero movies we get each year.

For word count sake, I'm going to list it's deficiencies rather than expounding on them.

Paul Rudd is good, but he's not really stretching his Paul Rudd wings.

Evangeline Lilly (The Hobbit) is plain terrible. Her acting, her hair. It's all silly.

The Heist is a small portion of the film when it should be the main course.

It feels like 50% of this movie occurs in three rooms of a large house.

The villain is a copy of Jeff Bridges in ""Iron Man.""

Ants. There are so many ants in this movie and they aren't played for humor as much as they are meant to be taken seriously.

Uneven sense of humor.

At times, terrible Visual FX.

Strange character motivations.

Weak action sequences.

"I agree with others who've said they'd like access to all the episodes. I just started watching tonight, am on episode 3 and already know for sure that I'd binge watch the whole thing like I did with True Detective (which another viewer mentioned). I think streaming has spoiled us all, giving us access to what we want to watch and when we want to watch it. I was born in the 60s and anyone else born in the earlier days of TV can remember waiting an entire week to watch the next episode of whatever was our thing. I don't even bother w ""regular"" TV anymore, lost my tolerance for commercials long ago. Everything I watch now is streamed - Netflix, Amazon, Hulu. The glory of early cable TV was that while you had to pay for it, it was commercial-free and better, more reliable picture quality since we no longer needed antennas (or coat hangers if one got desperate!). Unfortunately that's no longer the case. The only difference is instead of 3 major networks there are dozens, all with commercials even though we still have to pay for cable. I much prefer paying individually for the networks I prefer. Ah well, a first world problem, indeed...omg, I'm starting to sound like my elders, ""I remember the days when..."" LOL!!!!",7

"Not one time did you see or feel that 400,000 men was stranded on the beach.

Saving Private Ryan set the bar for war movies and I feel Nolan has tried to be pragmatic and failed drastically.

"After all the hype and build up for this I was expecting a little more than a romantic end to the MCU's most beloved franchise. Plot holes, character development and all around story really made the experience less than memorable. In the people that loved it or disliked it that I've talked to I feel like a 50/50 split is what I'm hearing although after enjoying the previous marvel films. I do not know if the people who rated it so high just feel an obligation to themselves to say they loved it so in their heart they weren't let down or that they did truly enjoy this giant mess of a movie. Take the popularity out of the franchise I think if this was released at the beginning of the MCU the rest wouldn't have done as well. That's my 2 cents.",4
A canny movie written with the intent of calling conservatives Nazi's.,1
So many plot twists that makes you go crazy. It's watching a never ending avengers,10
This movie has some faults but maturation of the subject matter and its treatment make this better than many other sequel films. It displays a great transition from mid to late teen subject matter and perspective to one of a person that has fully left childhood behind.,9
"A brilliant concept and a great way to view some alternative plots within the storylines that every Marvel fan knows, but horribly inconsistent. Some can lack any real power, Captain Carter not being too captivating although an interesting plot, T'Challa as Star Lord being a little too perfect, but others, like the murder of the Avengers are engrossing. It's just so disappointing that an episode such as Dr Strange losing his heart, which is poetic, powerful and beautiful, can be followed by the most disappointing Zombies episode imaginable. Zombies, was a particular waste. Although nothing is as bad as the Thor as an only child episode . Painfully unfunny, shockingly bad.

The animation is okay, distinct enough to be recognisable as it's own thing but not so easy on the eye. Keeping the vast majority of actors to voice their animated counterparts is a win, but sometimes the writing just isn't good enough. I'm thinking of the Zombie episode again, what a swing and a miss.

The second season follows much the same trend, some episodes having great concepts, others just proving ineffective. Attempts to have monumental battles with epic twists result in the plot being shallow, riding off the back of great moments across the MCU without any investment or significance. All-powerful beings with every superpower imaginable don't allow an episode any relatability or connection from the audience. The end product is ultimately lacklustre.",5
The bad acting in this film is unbearable. These other reviews seriously... How is no one pointing this out!? Don't recommend unless you can tolerate laughable acting.,2
"A fair number of the movies that rank high on this site's top 250 all time list also share a parallel 'life' as literature, so let's start there.

The book ""Rita Hayworth, etc..."" is the best of the 'Different Seasons' tetralogy. King adhered to the first person perspective, which is a challenge: the narrator can only know what comes into his range of perception. You as the reader have to decide if you trust him, and so on. King wrote this in the early hand-to-mouth period of his existence -- and what do we have? A prisoner who persistently writes to his benefactors for 'more funding'.

Darabont didn't have the skill necessary to really offer anything of artistic value here. We're stuck with borrowings: parts of ""Convict 99"", ""Gilda"", ""Brubaker"", ""Birdman of Alcatraz""; musically, the ""Marriage of Figaro"" aria -- it's actually not a bad bit of self-reference. It's the only good visual part here, and even that is smothered by the narration; literarily, Dumas' ""...Monte Cristo""...

The book does a good job of playing with the readers' expectations and using irony. There's no preaching. And it ends far more intelligently than this does; the denouement here seems to belong in a different movie altogether.

This isn't a bad movie; considering the obscene amount of money invested in these things, it's hard to find a truly bad movie any more -- one with no cinematic value at all -- that wasn't the case 20 - 30 years ago.

But there's no way I can love it. It just isn't the sort of movie that resonates with *me*, because the story is just 'there' with no life of its own.",3
"Movie review Fanatic.....Fantastic....FAN!! Rarely we see a mainstream Indian film breaking boundaries of the typical stereotype. SRK and Team FAN director Maneesh Sharma, writer Habib Faisal, prosthetic team VFX team have achieved that with a pure finesse. Editing is crisp. Cinematography is awesome & Action Sequences are very well choreographed. Now the creative part story and screenplay is the backbone of the kudos Habib Faisal for the great work with screenplay and dialogues. Director Maneesh Sharma has shown his brilliance and this is pretty evident in almost all the frame. Lastly SRK what a performance. His portrayal of Gauav and Aryan leaves u in a dichotomy and you don't know which one u like the most. 4.5/5. FAN is a perfect tribute and a gift for all SRK FANS",9
"This movie will just blow your mind, genuine patriotic, acting, screen play, direction, small details, every was perfect. Everyone should be watching this movie.",10
"In an age where horror has to have excessive levels of gore or the villain/monster has to eventually be revealed it was great to watch a film where the film had neither. In most films of this genre they tend to lose effect once the monster or creature is revealed, I enjoyed the fact it's almost like you're no supposed to see it either. I found the whole thing pretty gripping, good cast, good acting, characters you cared about. My only gripe was a slight sudden ending which felt a bit rush which lowered my rating to a 7. I think most people watching horrors now want hostel levels of gore and want to see the villain from the off",7
"When I saw the dark knight rises, I expected a villain who would be able to stand up to the acting which Heath Ledger had given in the dark knight. But I was disappointed with Bane's character even though Tom Hardy tried his best it didn't have the charm which the other two villains in the prequels had... Marion Cotillard didn't do what deserved of her role.. Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine had no new form or structure even after 8 years, people change with time.. and u need to show at least some change in their character.... The only people who showed justice to their roles were Anne Hathaway as catwomen and Christian Bale.... The story was nothing exceptional. But I say to the people don't expect anything like the The Dark Knight... Just an ordinary story, with an ordinary villain with no character devlopment like the Joker or Ra al gul... And a batman who can and at no point feels weaker in courage than then villain... Overall I give it a 6 for just Anne Hathaway and Christian Bale's performance with the direction of Nolan.",6
"Dr strange is one of my favorite characters in the MCU, so I was mad that this film didn't do him justice. The plot is kinda like Kung Fu Panda 3, but very disjointed and strung together with random items and abilities to make things work out, which feels very contrived. There are lots of weird moments in dramatic sequences where the pacing is off, which messed up my immersion. I didn't like America Chavez's character, just bad acting up against Cumberbatch and I was left wanting more of characters that barely got any screen time. As far as effects go though it was pretty cool, but yikes on any substantive stuff Marvel.",3
Season 2 is so much better than season 1 I hope season3 continue this,7
"Writers and directors suck, infinite suck! The story is predictable at the most important parts, and used too much cliché events ! It is as if a 10-year-old child wrote the story.

At the beginning, it had the potential to become a great story, but you ruined it, specially with those super fictional creatures and stupid childish superheroes, there are many things to criticize the weaknesses of the series, but that's enough to know you ruined it, those who know the difference between a good and a bad movie will know, even the producers themselves will notice the weaknesses once they see the series one more time.",6
This is not Bangladesh... Any Mafia doesn't run the country or the army or the other force.. Bangladesh is not dirty as in the film but India...,1
"Here's a review on a movie which won't be forgotten by Indian Cinema, for long. It is bound to enter the realms of unforgettable classics, because of the vibrant energy this movie displays in its every single frame, and also because it intoxicates you to the level of sin by making you a part of the journey of an immortal character called DevD.

DevD is not Devdas. AK and AD tried to attempt a new version of Devdas and they bring someone to us, whose thoughts you can relate with and whose failures make you desperate. Kudos to Abhay Deol for bringing out such a fine concept to Indian Cinema.

But this is not the reason what makes this movie a cinematic experience of lifetime, the cinematography and editing simply took my breath away. The nuances of direction were so perfect that you could see a wonderful blend of colors in its every frame and could feel the perfection of every detail in each shot. Be it the scene where DevD meets Chunni with the song 'Pardesi' in the background, or the scene where Paro defies Indian sensitivity by showing the woman who cycles to the farm with a mattress to meet her lover, or the scenes where hell enters DevD every time he takes drugs (though it has been inspired by Danny Boyle). All these scenes prove that Anurag Kashyap is a person who is not letting Indian cinema remain the same anymore. The exquisite boldness with which Kashyap presents the movie without an iota of vulgarity shows that Kashyap is a master craftsman, I have to admit I haven't ever seen even a Hollywood movie with such boldness embedded in the spirit, while not letting it show on face and still hitting you hard.

And as mentioned earlier, this is not for the faint hearted, as it hits you very hard, and takes you to a different world only if you are able to survive the blows. Its not for the ""Intelligent"", its not for the ""Masses"", its for every person who knows what intoxication is, because you don't feel good or bad after watching this movie, you simply feel intoxicated.

This review is incomplete without the mention of Amit Trivedi, the creator of the best music Indian Cinema has seen in years. This movie is still not in my top 10 all time favorites but its music certainly is. Pardesi or Nayan tarse are such passionately rendered tracks, that they build on your heart and not on ears every time you hear them.

Thanks once again, Anurag. This was not beer or rum, this was Vodka.... neat..",10
"Barbie was an incredible movie and experience. There was a perfect balance between the replication of our own childhood experiences with the dolls, and the introduction of the hopeful changes for the current state of the world. The way the movie made our little imaginations come to life on the big screen was magical. It was great to see a movie about barbie, the stereotypical perfect doll , being so inclusive and aware of issues we still have today. It was emotional, funny, and a breath of fresh air. Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and the rest of the cast... just bravo. It was truly so wonderful & I can't wait to watch it again.",10
"I saw this dubbed in other language and have the same opinion as most users here. My conclusion is that if you want to focus on realism, you'll have to give up on character's emotions and expressions. Simply because ""real"" lions and other animals don't have such expressions. Raise your hand if you ever saw a lion smiling or crying.

The result is that you hear a certain emotion, but you don't see them. We immediately think the cast was awful because there is no association between sound with image. But it's actually a visual problem.

Music is awful as well. Very bad film. CGI was great but it's just unnecessary and makes things way worse on this case. I hated it.",2
I just watched episode 4 and it is very disheartening to see this show devolved into a piece of crap!! Nothing new was exposed in the show until the last 5 minutes. Nothing but loud music that meant nothing. Very poor showing for a show that had very high aspirations. Not sure if I will continue to watch.,5
"Cheezy dialogs, genertic plot. the Ghost squad of faked deaths yadda yadda yadda.",1
"I thought it was very different from the first one but with the same style and structure. I am down for as many Rian Johnson murder mysteries as Netflix is willing to make.

This is one of the best scripts I could remember in a while. All of the characters back story and how they intertwine with each other then adding Blanc into the mix is so well written.

The direction alternating from telling you something to showing you something was executed to perfection. There are so many little details that are missed in the initial viewing that calls for an instant rewatch.

I love that we got more of Benoit Blanc. We got a small glimpse into his life and he was more involved in the case rather than reacting to the circumstances like in Knives Out.

The winner of the film for me is Janelle Monae. She was absolutely brilliant with her performance. Her character starts off slow and mysterious without giving the audience too much then about half way through she really takes off.

Overall, I honestly can't wait for the third Knives Out movie. It's so fun and engaging. I honestly did not notice the run time at all.",8
"characterization is good both Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor are good.SONGS ARE JUST OK.VOICE OF SINGERS Don't SUIT SHAHID.

Kareena is very good in her role of an effervescent Punjabi girl traveling from Mumbai to Bhatinda.who saves Shahid when he is going to commit suicide.

dialogs are well written.most of the film is fresh and appealing though in last it resembles few of past hit romances.overall film is good and watchable especially for young generation.

PHOTOGRAPHY AND Camera-work IS GOOD THE FILM 'S LOCALES ARE PICTURESQUE.

it's a simple film about how two person meet and not knowing get attracted and eventually come to know that they love each other.",8

"It is worth watching movie after Raatsasan.nicely took story and keeps u intense all movie..the story makes you confuse and and it's a real thriller with comdey punches and no songs and overall a very good movie of the year for me 2023.

Hero and Sharath Kumar and sharat babu both made thier roles real and interesting and the climax is still the best go watch it it's worth every penny and Makes u entertain.

Full police investigation story and interestingly dipicted all characters done well really a very very good movie and this is my first review of imbd so it's very long one to be typed all the best.",10
"I heard a lot about Gravity. All the critics loved it for its brilliant cinematography. I was hyped to say the least. But what I saw was jaw- dropping. In a really bad way. Don't get me wrong, this movie deserves its Oscars in Visual Effects and Cinematography, but Gravity is pretty dull otherwise. At first you might be intrigued by the long takes and the pretty effects, but after roughly 15 minutes you will see how hollow the plot really is. I don't want to take away any plot points, but everyone would be able to tell this story in about 7 minutes. Everything is so slow. Sandra Bullock does her best to work with this lackluster script, but even she isn't up to par. And the ending... Seriously?

All in all I recommend the movie for its visual effects, and if you don't care about a boring plot, it's the perfect movie for you. But if you expect as much as an enjoyable watch, go look somewhere else, because you won't find it here.",4
"In my mind, the Deathly Hallows Part 1 captured the feeling of exactly what the Harry Potter movies should have been all along: gritty, emotional, and cinematic. I haven't been a huge fan of any of the HP movies to date, but I was pleased with the Deathly Hallows because it took a big step up in maturity from the ""children's fantasy"" genre and focused on themes very central to the seventh book: hopelessness and desperation.

After the death of Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore, the magical world falls into disarray as Voldemort gains power over the Ministry of Magic and hunts tirelessly after his mortal enemy and our continuing protagonist, Harry Potter. While keeping a low cover, Harry, Ron, and Hermoine decide to track down and destroy Voldemort's soul contained in hidden ""horcruxes"" but have difficulties deciding what to do and where to start.

The Deathly Hallows very successfully portrays the despair-filled journey of the wizarding trio. With dark undertones running through the cinematography, Part 1 of the Harry Potter finale is the film that deals more with the emotional stagnation of the characters and spends less time with action scenes and major plot points. Since Rowling's seventh book is separated into two movies, Part 1 boasts a much slower pace than earlier HP films and is not so focused on cramming as many subplots and side-stories from the book as possible into the movie's runtime, which tends to clutter up the storyline and make the whole thing feel rushed.

But where the slow pacing makes this film stand out in the series, it also may be its downfall. The Deathly Hallows continually feeds us a feeling of desolation as Harry, Ron and Hermoine fail to discover a way to destroy the horcruxes; they seem to be making no progress towards defeating the Dark Lord, but as an effect the movie seems to be making no progress towards an ending. Storyline lags intensely towards the middle of the film and is dragged out until the conclusion (which ends abruptly). You'll be left in your seats feeling like this is going nowhere- but that's the point: Harry, Ron, and Hermoine are getting nowhere. So I liked this movie because the pace was slow, but I also didn't like this movie because the pace was slow. See what I'm getting at? Aside from that, I can't complain much. Performances were fine, effects were impressive, and best of all, nothing dastardly was done to J.K. Rowling's story.

The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is a nice improvement and a fine addition to the Harry Potter series and should serve as a solid emotional base for Part 2 to take off with next year. If you've enjoyed the HP movies so far, this should be a satisfying experience at least. If not, let the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 redeem your faith in the series. 7/10

P.S. Keep on the lookout for the scene about the deathly hallows story. It has some of the most beautiful and artistic animation I have ever seen in a movie.",7
"2 thumbs up for Jodha-Akbar!! Good thing before the movie began, it was cleverly pointed out that this story is a cinematic expression of history, so people should not get caught up with regards to Jodha's real name...the story has been presented well, the costumes, jewelery are exquisite and the performances memorable...especially, I can imagine no one else other than Hrithik in the role of Akbar! The songs are great, love the song Khawja...just love it!

overall, a fantastic movie, I'm gonna see it again. And yes, definitely worth my time writing this review... Kudos to Ashutosh Gowariker and his team!",8
"Captain America: The winter soldier is an excellent Conspiracy Thriller that felt so familiar to me, like a 90's Thriller like Enemy of the State (1998) or Murder at 1600 (1996) or The Fugitive (1993) you get the idea, it felt old school & that made it more grounded. This is a much better film than the first film & is one of the best sequels ever, especially in the super hero genre!!!

This Captain America movie is the best I've seen in the MCU by far & that's because of it's real,grittier & more grounded approach, there's brutal fighting & terrorist shootouts, this is a conspiracy Thriller with a touch of fantasy with it being a super hero Marvel film but even with that it's still a much darker & more mature toned Marvel flick. Steve Rogers/Captain America is easily the best character of the Avengers & is the most interesting & most human, here he goes on an emotional journey & questions the government & powers that control everything. This is an exciting & intriguing Action Thriller that also rings true with it's corruption & conspiracy storyline.

Steve Rogers is lost, he feels alone in an ever changing world & he's basically a relic of a time when being a Hero ment something & he knew what he was fighting for but now everything seems corrupted & feels wrong, what is a true man of honour supposed to do in a world like this?

The loneliness is in Cap's eyes & it's an excellent very human performance from Chris Evans, who is perfect at coming accross dis-heartened & hurt at what he sees around him. Can he trust S.H.I.E.L.D? Is he fighting on the right side? Captain America is lost & unsure & that's the heart of this excellent film. Captain America is definitely my favourite character of all the Avengers & in this action packed Thriller he cements that status.

The always excellent Samuel l Jackson plays Nick Fury more serious here too & has some fantastic edge of the seat scenes. Black Widow is excellent in this movie & show's she's one of the smartest & toughest Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D again another excellent & kick a## performance from Scarlett Johansson. Anthony Mackie is also fantastic as Falcon, he's a good man with a good heart & you can totally see why Cap trusts him. Caps old war buddy & best friend Bucky is a terrifying & deadly Assassin, again another excellent character & performance, he comes accross so deadly & fast like a Terminator!!! We also have the great tough guy Frank Grillo & even movie legend Robert Redford rounding out the fantastic cast.

If like me you get bored of massive explosions & buildings getting blown up & want a more intriguing & more grounded Marvel film then Captain America:The winter soldier is definitely the one.

A truly fantastic,exciting & fast paced action-packed Conspiracy Thriller.",7
"The movie is truly masterpiece. The movies character and it's development is great.

The movie teach the importance of pet .

Staring part or first half was funny and we'll satisfied And some emotional scenes. 2 half is full of emotion and we'll established. Charlie Chaplin is also main character of the movie.

The name of the dog is Charlie. The all character perform well and excellent acting. Especially Rakesh sir was natural acting. And the dog also gives natural reaction.ita fells like emotion and I want to cry . Some scenes are too long . It's doesn't not look necessary. The main parts of movie was of there's was no dialogue we can also understand movie because it's was full of emotion.",10
"I was really interested in Moonknight since I didn't know too much about it. First, amazing performance by Oscar Isaac proving once again what great actor he is portraying the problematic Steven Grant and Marc Specter. Unfortunately the CGI isn't always amazing, especially for Moon Knight costumes. The first part of the serie was really interesting and I was really looking forward to see how things would have turned out. Many fight scenes have not great montages (not to mention how the last one is handled), most side characters are badly written or totally lacked presentation, some things that happen on screen do not have sense. Especially the last fight is definitely underwhelming for the way it has been edited and what characters can do for no reason.

So, first 3 episodes were interesting, from there it's a slow downfall.",5
"""Spider-Man 2"" feels a lot like it predecessor. Thankfully, it is a bit better thanks to the more realistic romance, the villain, a stronger story and a non - episodic feel.",7
"So I have read many reviews and decided that I am done with rhe show after Season 1 itself and I advice you too to do the same. Moving on, all the story shows is a visicious cycle of life and how your one mistake can cost someone something that you may never even think about.

The basic premise is that a girl has left 13 tapes which narrates the reasons of her suicide.

There are many argues on this that it has stylised suicide as a version of revenge fantasy and also many ask that who would record 13 tapes before dying, how mentally disturbed one could, and I strongly agree with them. Being said that, I also believe that one should keep in mind that this is a series and so it ought to have something that are beyond explanation. Personally. I did not watch the series as a lesson over depression or suicide instead I watched it as a revenge story and the unfortunate event of suicide which are sad.

If we talk about pros and cons, they are as follows:

Pros: 1. Acting 2. Tigthly Packed Story 3. An unique concept 4. A message which no one wants to talk about but almost everybody wants to deliver.

Cons: 1. Some illogical expressions 2. A little bit stretched

Nonetheless, if you watch the series, it will stay with you for quite a time.",8
I've read alot of very long winded reviews which go on about cinematography and the essence of the film industry blah blah. If you are looking for classic Tarantino in my opinion it falls short. I got so bored I had to have two goes to get to the end. Even the sound track didn't redeem a disappointing view of what I was hoping was going to be a classic. Sadly in my opinion not but please make your own minds up.,5
"""Good Omens"" S01 (Amzn, 6, 1-hr eps) had the potential to be great, it really did, it has a good storyline and a stellar cast so where does it fail - direction and a budget that limited it to a first-time filmmaker's effort. Doug Mackinnon (British director) hasn't really distinguished himself with any production and he continues his legacy of mediocrity here, too. His vision for this telling is frivolous and trite even as he's hamstrung by a budget that can't afford costuming and VFX that match the story's needs. All this makes for a poor, lackluster vision for what angels and demons are - dapper humans, apparently - and for what heaven appears to be - something akin to the all white Apple stores of yore within a NYC-style cityscape. There's a lot of offbeat British humor that never really scores, British cultural and societal mannerisms that are offputting, but brightside, there are snippets of Queen's hits throughout. However, I could only make it into episode five - where the Four Horsemen which includes two women because you know gender diversity was so important in ancient times (not) are regular 'ole humans on motorcycles - before I had enough of the nonsense and idiocy, sticking through it to the end would've been more painful than I could further endure, because believe me, you have to forgive a whole lot of frivolity to make it that far. It's ashame, so much potential just frittered away. (Nailed it! Cancelled after one season!)",3
"I had read that this might be a darker take on the original, and had hoped that might also mean that it would get an overhaul in character development, but sadly, that is not the case. In what is supposed to be a group of the sharpest/brightest people, who have been selected to migrate to a nearby star system, what we get in each episode is a continuous flood of (supposed) ""really smart people"", doing ""amazingly stupid things"". Of course, many of these ""mistakes"" allow the characters to then be put into some perilous scenario, to fulfill the story-telling need of each episode, but all at the cost of any semblance of believable behavior. If this plot methodology only happened once or twice, you might be able to ""write it off"" as just one or two bad episodes, but when it becomes the basic theme of the whole series, it's just a bit too much to stomach.

To be clear, I like some of the actors/characters, and think that some of the effects look very good, but what starts as a pretty solid template for the series is ruined by poorly scripted plotting.

Maybe this reboot will be exciting for 10 year old children, or anyone who doesn't really care whether the characters depict any sort of logical thought process, but if that approach to plotting annoys you, then you should move on to some other viewing choice.",4
"This movie had it's strenghts and weaknesses. Was it worth watching? Sure! Did i enjoy it? Yes! Is it something i'll watch again? Probably not! It's supposed to be a movie for the kids that like superheroes, and it manages to be that! The plot isn't that great, and there are so many clishées that it becomes predictable of sorts. It is however a fun movie to watch for the eye candy and stupid jokes. Adults probably won't like this as much, but it's not for us, it's for the children. I give it a 5 because it was just that, a ""it's ok i guess""",5
"I say this is my favourite because it is so well-written and produced that I can't find any flaws in it. They knew what they were doing when they casted Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes because he's phenomenal as The Winter Soldier.

He doesn't even speak a full 2 sentences in the entire movie and yet, he's the one that makes this movie work. His eyes are hauntingly beautiful and the way he carries himself as the the programmed Winter Soldier who is at war with the man who was Steve Roger's best friend, Bucky Barnes is nothing short of an Oscar nomination. He's one of the best actors in the industry right now.

I rewatch this movie once every few months because it really is THAT good.",9
"To tell the truth, I expected the film to be something more than a beautiful picture with good actors and some funny comedy pieces. Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Kate McKinnon: they all are my favourite actors. That was actually the reason to buy a ticket. But the film did really disappointed me.

I liked the costumes and decorations, the topic of feminism, some jokes and musicals...but the way it was used is pretty confusing.

First of all, the topic of feminism could have been described more... natural? Not just a woman telling other women that they are more than just servants for their men. It's true. But... really? Just men's riot, crying women and yes finally the thought of feminism. It's so trite. And it's all just for about...five minutes??? You took more time for these musical pieces that meant nothing but a waste of time. You should have used the screen time not for silly men running around the office or people dancing around good decorations, but for talking about the real point of the film (men and women: their life can be really good even without each other, because all of them are independent creatures. Women are strong and can be everyone they want as well as men do).

As for me, the film could have been more structured. It seems like the first thought a person got in the morning and wrote everything that was in the head. It doesn't work like that. You don't have any structure in your film, except for plot. You use some strange moments with dancing people or a crazy riding car like in forza horizon, but for what? Is it a blockbuster or musical? These are good and I love musicals and blockbusters moments, but when they are really useful in the case they are used in, but in the film I didn't see the point of these ""juicy moments"".

For me...it was the toy story, but with Barbie and the worst not structured subsequence of actions. Sorry but you had some of the best actors, the topic of feminism, good decorations... and just made the film thoughtless.",1
"Just like Life Is Beautiful this movie showed us 2nd WW time in a comical way...when Taika is the director you don't have to worry about the humor. The color and the cinematography of this movie are just brilliant ..Roman did a great job as the child who has Hitler as a imaginery friend and Taika as Hitler is superb..and obviously Sam Rockwell , whichever role he play done with the utmost perfection..such a brilliant actor..so, what I don't like then it is the 1st half of the movie...It is even for this type of movie feels very slow and the dialogues could be better...but the 2nd half is totally worth it..I say you should give it a try.",7
"Maybe one of the worst movies ever. Seriously. Please, don't waste your precious time on it, it's not worth it.

Could you please, please, please arrange to make it possible that I never have to sit through another execrable pile of utter garbage that has become the standard level of effluvium Nolan seems to regularly pitch out, all dressed up in it's sparkly Emperors New Clothes?

Memento was astonishingly brilliant on a budget of several shillings. Insomnia likewise. Batman Begins was a welcome re-invigoration of a franchise which had previously become something to ridicule.

And then came the seriously big budgets. Which exponentially reduced the credibility of any plot. Or story. And here we are at a new cinematic low which worryingly garners this level of praise. Presumably because it has big special effects.

Empty. Shallow. Bombastic. Unengaging. Risible. Crap.

Oh......and a new train set would be tops!!! Thanks..",1
"Best thing first, apart from the performance of Robert D. Jr. which is top notch and the s.effects, watching this movie just made me feel how good is the Nolan's trilogy on Batman . Its the writing the passion of the director that lacks in IM3. Initially the film promises but develops into an average affair with no depth and punch. Ben kingsley looked perfection personified in his portrait as the terrorist image, which was later goofed up in plot twist. The air force one diving scene for example was brilliantly picturised but lacked the impact. A problem with current action movies is fast skipping of frames during action sequences(also with transformers series). For some time now, with movies like the avengers(a poor 3 scene flick!) and IM3 the studios are just gonna make huge money. kiddos to them.",4
"Shocks me this film is rated higher than homecoming on here, TBH both The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3 which by large are pretty weak Spidey films are better than this.

Tom Holland and Zendaya have zero onscreen chemistry, Holland's accent is awful, his Peter is a full blown idiot and whines too much, the suits once again are meh, on large the CGI is terrible and worse of all the story is plain stupid.

It's a terrible movie.",4

"For those of you who said there is little or no story in this movie, just what were you watching? The couple making out in front of you, or were you busy attending to your SMS or email messages? Now I just got to know that Sam Rockwell was a contender for the role of Iron Man/Tony Stark in the first film, I am so glad he didn't get the part and Robert Downey Jr did.

In the first movie we got to see a lot more of Iron Man, while Tony Stark stood quietly in the background. In the sequel it is Tony Stark that matters more than Iron Man. In fact Iron Man has become a mere tool for ego and fame and is beginning to become a liability to SI and tony. Unfortunately there isn't enough running time for the director to explore the deeper character of Tony Stark and his struggle with his alter ego and alcohol. Shame.

Pepper Pott should have had more anger, anguish and frustration, but the character was not explored.

I agree with some reviewers in saying that there is likely a spin-off in the Black Widow character. Although I must say, Scarlet Johannson's performance was a bit off. I always thought the character to be quite a bit colder, as in an ice queen.

Is it me or is Samuel L. Jackson putting on tens of pounds?! I could hardly recognize him in the café scene with Robert Downey Jr!!! Shame that Sam Rockwell is still playing villain. He is quite a versatile actor who is constantly under-utilized and under appreciated.

Notice how I am talking about characters and not story or the SFX? Well, for those of you watching this movie thinking there is a better story than the first, you do know that you are watching a sequel to a comic superhero screen adaptation. 30-40 years of history does not shrink well into a 2 hour movie... it won't even fit a 10 hour one.

As for special effects, what else can you not expect to be thrown into a modern blockbuster like this? Heck, even the kitchen sink can be entirely CG! What's new since Jurassic Park? Overall, there is perhaps a re-watch value somewhere, but it is definitely worth the price of the ticket you pay the first time round.",8
"I really hope that shows like these don't become a thing of the pass. with all the dumb shows Disney/Nickelodeon are releasing now, there were always shows like spongebob etc. that were always way funnier than anything else. Korra & Avatar are both amazing, story driven shows, with some of the best characters out there. Please keep making these shows.

Toff and Sokka's banter, especially towards the end of the series, is really funny. And the animation has a lot of subtle details on the one hand, and really visually stunning fight scenes. I'm also really sad we don't get to see these voice actors do more. I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that by the end of Avatar and the last season of Korra, both shows were getting into trouble. the thing is, animated shows are more expensive then Disney channels usual choice of get a few annoying kids on two sets and record them doing nothing. Please, for the love of god Hollywood. MAKE MORE SHOWS LIKE AVATAR!!",10

"Honestly, this was very disappointing. Even Ben10 have better plot and twists than this. It seemed that the producers/story writers were trying to make fun of the similar concepts. The acting of lead was fine but apart from that .. everything (visual effects, storyline) was just bad.",5
"I am not sure why people don't point out at all how dark is this series compared to GoT. I love the actors and how they act but damn where is the luminosity in this tv show? It's actually pathetic to tell me that to be able to watch it properly it has to be full dark outside, and in my room and stuff like that, and even if this requirements are fulfilled, it's still way too dark. Only reason It kept me going are the dragons. I understand it's easier to use microled screens for the background, but hell we don't own microled tvs to be able to watch properly your show-it cost like 15 k. I hope this matter will be brought into discussion in season 2 and make it worth it, not just milk your audience.",2
"Anyone can replace Steve Rogers!? No,so why new Capital America is Sam wilson?",1
"Granted, this movie was amazing visually. Lots of eye candy, different sceneries, colors, lights, action. But that's about it. Storywise it was a sequence of scenes many of which the protagonists' actions didn't make a lot of sense or were simply unrealistic. Without spoiling anything, let's just say the main character survived quite a lot and sometimes walked around the battlefield as if he was strolling through a shopping mall. But especially the (few) interactions with the Germans were absolutely ridiculous. I know there is an unwritten law in the film industry that Germans have to be portrayed as the bad guys at any opportunity, but could they at least make it somewhat believable? There is one particular key scene in this movie where even an absolute German-hater had to think ""oh come on, this makes no sense."" Oh, and also, I wasn't aware that there were so many African and Indian soldiers fighting for Britain in WW1. Political correctness rearing its head to rewrite history again? Well, at least they did it to both sides in this one.",6
"OK, there are good scenes in this film...mainly the ones Willis or Keitel in them, but overall the following gripes I have with this film make me unable to enjoy it.

1) Why does it not just run chronologically? Its clearly just a pointless gimmick that adds nothing to our enjoyment or understanding of the story.

2) Pulp Fiction is just a vehicle, like most his other films, for Tarantino to write out his geeky fantasies. And why does he cast himself in his films he's a hideous actor.

3) The dialogue. Does everyone always have to be so super cool? Its completely unnatural. The whole style of the film actually irritates me greatly in some sub-conscience was that I cant quite articulate.

I write this as I was on Keitels IMDB page and viewed his films as rated by members and almost keeled over in disbelife to see that this geek-fest is rated above Taxi Driver...really, I just dont know anymore. lol. :)",3
"Was very much looking forward to this movie. It's, unfortunately, terribly written. They needed to figure out how to get all the ladies who don't like Barbie on board so they went way over the top on the ""patriarchy"" at the expense of a real plot and good writing. So many cringe moments (the dancing Kens, Barbie turning into real person, the weird montage at the end) that just didn't make sense. Too bad, a good writer could have made this movie poignant, clever, funny and fun to watch. Instead, the script just pondered.

Other reviewers pointed out the ripped off plot lines (Wizard of Oz, Pinocchio, Velveteen Rabbit).

The one funny moment was Gosling serenading Barbie on the beach.",3
Please please don't watch this series complete waste of 10 hours...,1
"Excellent series. Made by marvels, Daredevil consist of everything a marvel movie has, even more. The whole series is like a series of 13 movies full on action and filled with drama and politics. Every episode starts with a bang and ends with a bang, especially the last one. The action sequence are way ahead of what i expected. I mean i have never heard of this character Daredevil. I first came to know about it from the show itself, but now i want to know much more and only because of this series. Now i think that marvel has done a great job launching this series and audience will surely want to see more of this. What to say about the actors, i liked everyone. Charlie Cox is so good in his role, he is the kind of actor whose face you will remember whenever someone says daredevil, even after other adaptations of this character are made. The trio Murdock, Rachel Page and Nelson is awesome and Vincent is wow! He played his role so well i became his fan instantly. This series is a must watch for those who like action, thrill and edge of the seat climax on every step of the episodes.",8
"I haven't played the game or read the books and watched it like any other fantasy. We learn that crossbows exist, but only once during that one badass scene desperately trying to be ""The Punisher"". Slow-mo magic and kiss. Editing is certainly out of this world because it cannot be explained why would anyone do that. Amazingly cringy monologues all the way through all episodes. Cavils voice and manner of speech is 1:1 when Star Lord tries to be tough in front of Thor.

I don't know, maybe it's just not my cup of tea but it looks like this is just all those annoying NPC speeches and cinematics that you skip during the game crammed together.",3
"Really enjoyed watching this movie - chose it because it was on Netflix's list of movies to watch because it was nominated for an academy award in 2023. I say it is an old-fashioned theme because murder mystery parties and dinners have been popular for so many years, first attending one myself way back in the mid 80s. Also reminiscence of the old board game Clue - but then again board games have come back in popularity again due to Covid so maybe the cause for revival of that. Also, loved Danial Craig and first loved him years ago in James Bond, so when I saw him as the detective in this, knew I would enjoy watching it. The mystery was intriguing, and you knew something was up from the beginning when the murder became foiled, so it was full of twists and turns and the reveal was very good. The best part of it for me was the music choice and loved that they chose ""To Love Somebody"" by The Bee Gees.",8
"""The Last of Us"" had a lot of hype surrounding it, and while it had some redeeming qualities, the execution of the show left a lot to be desired. I would rate this show a 7/10.

One of the major issues with the show was the lack of cohesiveness. It seemed to have one storyline going on at a time, but the side stories used to back up the overall plot seemed too fragmented rather than coherent. Additionally, new characters suddenly appeared in each episode and then disappeared, making it difficult to connect with them.

The characters themselves were also a disappointment. They were flat and lacked any dynamic qualities that would make them interesting to watch. This made it difficult to care about their survival or the overall outcome of the show.

Furthermore, the dialogue was very weak and lacked any depth. As a viewer, I didn't feel any emotional connection to what the characters were saying. It was as if the dialogue was only there to move the plot forward rather than to add any substance to the show.

While the show had occasional moments of real danger from the zombies, there were times when I felt extra safe, and the apocalypse didn't seem to be going on at all. This lack of consistency made it difficult to feel invested in the show.

Overall, ""The Last of Us"" had potential but failed to live up to the hype. The lack of cohesiveness, weak dialogue, and flat characters made it difficult to connect with the show.",7
"Whoever thinks this show is good, thinks adding sugar to their coffee is taking a risk. This show is dull, boring, and a Zquil on steroids. They put 1 or 2 fighting scenes in each show. Those scenes last maybe 5 mins a piece. It's a 75 min show. That means it's 65 mins of people just talking and looking at each other. In GOT by the time it got to the fifth episode you were invested. The stories were there. You wanted to see what would happen with the stars. There 6 different things going on all interesting. House of the Dragon can't even get the one story they're telling to be interesting.

The acting is wooden at best. I can't blame the actors when their directions seem to be You look disinterested and upset, you look confused and lost, you look scared and nervous and finally you just keep the same exact look on your face no matter what is happening. If you seen 2 episodes of the show, you know exactly what characters I'm talking about.

This show is a wast of time and hype. I was disappointed in how GOT ended, but it didn't happen until the very last episode in the last 30 mins. This show has had 5 episodes and disappointed on each one. Don't waste your time.",1
"One reviewer sad it felt like for the most part like a bleak coulisse from 70-ties and the rest 15min of action, I have a to agree. The dialogue was empty at least for mr Q standards, a thing that is his usually strong spot. Usually, atleast from my prospektive he creates sceanes that tells a story for it self ( aphorism) this only to put the the story forward. The caracters are not as intressting some how as he use to make them, the acting though is great. First time i ever have been a little dissapointed, or a lot. I thoughed this would be his signature movie witch it's obviously not. I think the bucket is empty.",5
"What galls me most about this movie specifically and the Coen brothers' movies generally is that they all reveal the insipidness of both the Coens and their fans. What they can't achieve with excellent dialogue, well-spun stories, and logical continuity in plotting, the Coens make up for via blood, lust, more blood, and then more blood. Vanquished from their movies is any sense of humanity or hope, and we are left in what I can best describe as a ""bleakscape"" - where the great positive is the presence of so much that is negative. I do delight, however, in the spectacle of reading swooning fans' fawning tributes to the Coens' ""films"" (and yes, their fans will watch only ""films"").

Utterly unbelievable in the bleak, depressing, and joyless tableaux they offer, the Coen films are the perfect answer to a society full of soulless narcissists.",1
"No Spoilers: I went for my daughter and a social 'ladies night' function our local cinema does for certain releases (missed them since COVID).

My expectations were of a funny movie about dolls based in a 'barbie world'. Basically Live Action Toy Story Barbie.

This movie was so much more than expected. It was thought provoking and gave a reflection of our society that women must endure and made way for conversations between mothers and daughters regarding how the world views women vs how they should see themselves. The idealistic Barbie world vs the real world was eye opening to young girls. The Barbie characters were diverse, intelligent and kind. The cameos, easter eggs and acting was fantastic too.

Brilliant movie.",10
"I love anything supernatural, especially when witches are involved as it is never well done but this series is brilliant. Recently finished them all and was disappointed with the ending of how anticlimactic and boring it was but the rest of the series was great. Shame there won't be more!",10
"The writing is just horrible! What could have been a great series is destroyed by incredibly lame elementary level writing and storylines. Special effects is about the only redeeming value of this series. But, it was extremely painful getting to the end of the first season. In not sure I'll even attempt a second season.",3
"While I didn't enjoy this movie as much as the first its still a good movie (especially as far as sequels are concerned).

The animation, like the first, is great eye-candy making it a joy to watch while the general plot, villain, and personal back story's are all well done.

Po's history is tied in well to the main plot and leads to some nice moments between Po and his noodle dad. Even one of the Furious Five shows some emotional vulnerability (setting up for the third movie of a planned six so I read). So this movie, like the first, delivers on the personal/emotional side pretty nicely.

As for the main villain this go-round (an albino peacock), while less physically imposing than his predecessor (Tai Lung), he uses his wits to present a unique set of challenges to our heroes which leads to another one of the franchises unorthodox final battle sequences which I enjoy. Some might be disappointed, but I found him to be very majestic and formidable in his own way so I thought he was a nice choice.

My only pet peeve is in the humor department as for me it lacked a feel of spontaneity and flow. Rarely did it catch me off guard like the first movie did so no LOL moments. Instead it was often predictable, over-the-top, out of place, or just flat out not funny. Sure there were some scenes like Po on the roof giving his speech (minus his bad overacting after the hat toss) etc that brought back memories of the first, but quite a few others had Po behaving so childishly or trying too hard to be funny that I began to find his antics a little annoying. Running around ""yeah lets go woo yeah!"" got old quick for me and a lot of his one liners felt like that person who you meet who isn't funny at all but for a need of attention continually tries to be anyways. Even one of the Furious Five looked tired of it as there is a scene where Po is talking about his two-step plan and Tigress has to reply with an agitated ""Po!"" as if to say ""okay we get it, but its not funny...knock it off already!"" I felt your pain Tigress.

Still an overall enjoyable movie. No reason to not watch it unless you absolutely hated the first.",7
"Hooked by episode one, love the characters and can't wait for the next season. Easy to binge and not difficult to get into. Each season gets better and better so it doesn't feel like the show drags on throughout the seasons. Overall, impressive shots and good concept.",9
"Attack On Titan (or Shingeki no Kyojin) is enjoyable, despite having quite a few issues:

Plot, plot, plot! It's paced choppy! Characters! Characters so troupe-based that it hurts. I'm looking at our edgy protag whom only speaks through his teeth. Get over yourself, Jaeger. Really...the only characters /truly/ worth any screen-time are the background characters (Sasha, Annie, Connie, etc...) Cliches. ""little-girl-who's-probably-not-even-13-yet-is-able-to-easily-kill-a-man-without-breaking-down-and-freaking-out-bc-he-killed-her-parents"" cliche. Another con: Bryce Papenbrook. I'm so sorry, I absolutely HATE actor-shaming but I have seen him voice so many teenagers with edgy-issues (Shirou Emiya, Kirito, Eren, etc...) that it now makes my ears bleed. Half of his lines are SCREAMING that ""I will kill all the titans! I'm ten ft tall even tho im rlly like 5'7, lmao!!"" The english dub is OK. that's it. If you want a good english dub, see Fate/Zero.

Here are some good things: The !! Directing !! Is !! Beautiful !! The concept is wonderfully amazing and fulfilling! I love post-apocalyptic plots! Most of the characters are tolerable, if not lovable. Comedic moments are well placed and paced. They don't pop in at random moments like in other anime's (SAO, Naruto, Fate/Stay Night...) The animation is surprisingly good! I love it and its beautiful. THE GORE IS SURPRISINGLY GORE-Y WITHOUT BEING COMPLETELY GROSS AND GROTESQUE (with that being said, I would be fine if they showed some eyeballs and internal organs, lol. Corpse Party had me wanting more.) YES ALSO THE SOUNDTRACK IS THE /BEST/ thanks for coming to my ted talk bye bye",6
I dont know how people are giving this 10/10. It was such a below average movie. It was so childish but with some scenes too strong for children. This is no way an adult movie neither for kids. Apart from few of the funny scenes the movie was trash.,5

"Really well-written with some still serious dialog about intimacy and relationships. The four leads are excellent and Soderbergh manages them deftly.

Nice to see an original, grown-up movie with interesting characters who aren't superheroes or torn from the pages of a comic book. We need lots more of these.",8
"I suppose Devdas is one novel whose depictions in Indian cinema can tell you how has the Indian cinema matured through time.Be it the Dileep Kumar's version or Shahrukh's version. Each one of them are like windows through which you can peep and get a glimpse of the Indian cinema coming of age.The same age old love story but set up in a very different environment and represented in Anurag Kashyap's own unique way.I suppose if the great Sarat Chandra Chatterjee would have been a contemporary to Anurag Kashyap Devdas may have been setup in the same environment.Talking about the cast and the movie, Abhay Deol continues to do extraordinary job in his own out of the league kind of movies.He is different and always appears in movies with a different flavor and taste.The rest of the cast was amateur but still delivered a great job,hats off to them and their director.The usage of typical Punjabi words in the dialogs have added spice to the curry. All in all a total mas-ala entertainer. With so many movies based on social awareness around these days this one being on a different track makes it a must watch.",8

"Inspite of being a fan of space/ sci-fi movies, had to fast forward scenes to get through the second half ! No plot, no sense in the movie, and no reason at all for making this movie.

Is hard to even review.

Try and watch a space movies from the 1950s, it would be better time spent

There is nothing to write home on the acting as there was none needed.

There seems no plot , and the visuals were what any sci fi movies show.

Had recently seen Apollo 13, and that was the sort of movie one appreciates watching

I think its surprising if this move has recovered and made money at the box office",4
This is one of those movies that seems like the director thinks you're a dumb.,5
"Damn, what a funny remix... 😜

But to be honest: they didnt need more than one camera to make this movie - minimalism at its best.

We were wondering about the kind of Oscars nominations this movie earns. Maybe ""best dialogues"". Hmmm, no. 😁",1
"I was very underwhelmed with this film in light of all the critical acclaim. Maybe I just don't ""get"" it, but one thing is certain - this is not a film for just anybody. Also, while the ending proves more entertaining than anything that came before, you still have to get through the rest of the film to reach that point. Not worth it.",4
"I'm not sure how to describe this film, because it stands on it's own. The motion is excellent and the CGI is visually undetectable. Some scenes had me gawking in awe and wondering...Mind you, this was an Extreme 3D theatre and it's hard to go back now.

Can't really pick out any negatives. There were many great moments on a great story, superb cast and ""Polished"" movie! It almost breaks my heart knowing what's to come...Kudos to any production element that were a big part in making everything look the way it did. I'm still trying to believe what Stark I was seeing...That was awesome! Enjoy this one, I did!

"All the yelling got me really bored and thinking... Why am I spending my time on this? Sandler, sorry but your yelling is quite disturbing man. I prefer the comedy version of you. Also, all the action goes quite fast. From the beginning we know how the movie ends. Poor characters. I didn't enjoy it.",5
"OK, let's start by saying that this film is quite reasonable, in fact I'd put it just above that. Now, the reason I say this is because the film gets the most important thing right: it makes sure that we connect with the main character, Caesar. We get to care about him, feel when he's in pain, and root for him when he finally organises a rebellion. Despite being a CGI creation, we, as viewers, are shown something that feels real. No, not in the tangible sense, for the CGI does fail a few times (not often), but in that we come to see the character as one that possesses depth. I have to admit to being fairly impressed with Andy Serkis and the animators in rendering Caesar better than I thought it would be. Yay for Caesar! However, I have to also say that the following is far less than praise.

***WARNING! The following might annoy fanboys!*** ;)

Now, Caesar is fine, the character we care for, his pain is our pain, etc. Good, that's the important thing that they had to get right. Without that, the film would be a failure. However, that doesn't mean that just because they've created a well rendered main character who is CGI, full of emotions and connections, that they should just stop there and think their job is done. See, I have to say that all the human characters in this film are fairly weak and one-dimensional. The villains tend to be black-and-white caricatures, simplistic and hollow. The original series of PotA had villains, but most of them were fairly rounded, not all pure ""evil"" (Doctor Zaius and Doctor Hasslein, even though they can be seen as generally the villains of the piece in the films that they were in, have their reasons for what they're doing; they're not purely ""evil"", so to speak), but it seems that that is a bit too complex for today's audience, so we're given easy to despise ""baddies"", who act in ways that seem as subtle as a Michael Bay film. Another thing is that the acting of the humans isn't up to much. Most of the actors don't really seem to be trying. Franco looks bored, Pinto seems lost wondering what to do, Felton seems like he still thinks he's in the Harry Potter set near Watford, while Lithgow, although he does throw some acting punches now and then, does seem like he could do better. Then again, the script doesn't help the human characters, so I suppose that doesn't help the actors.

Another problem with this film, especially if you want to compare it to the originals, is that it's fairly light in its political message and science fiction concepts. I'm not sure that the idea that society has moved on is a good justification for such weaknesses. There are plenty of hard hitting issues in the world that still need looking at, even ones that still affect us today like they did in the 1960s. The original series of films might not be the most intelligent films ever made, but they did try to come up with some thought behind them, and were certainly, at least in the case of the first film, intelligently written. Rise, unfortunately, seems to just push the ""don't be cruel to animals"" line as well as the ""don't meddle with genetics"", which seems to me to lack the impact of the social issues that the original films were tackling. I don't buy the excuse that things have moved on and that serious topics won't have a resonance.

Still, all the above isn't to say that the film is bad. Far from it, but I just think it could have been better handled. I think there were too many compromises in trying to satisfy non-PotA fans out there, giving us a watered down version. However, even though it's watered down (IMO, naturally), it still keeps interest as a film. The apes are the interesting ones, and I suppose it got that right. Once it got to the apes, the film gets impressive, earning respect. The story as a story was worth telling, despite its limitations.

Does it deserve a sequel? Yes, I think it deserves sequels; it's done enough for me to warrant that. I also think that a sequel to this story will bring about a more compelling one, with various conflicts between man and ape, and even those within the apes, bringing in more angles and points of interest. It's difficult to start off a series like this, particularly when you know roughly where it's going to lead, so in some ways I should be more forgiving towards Rise. Maybe they'll also be able to explore more weightier themes in the sequels, because they might well be given the chance to with new story ideas. Still, that's a big maybe, and probably a stretch.

So, please go and watch this film. It's not fantastic, it's not rubbish, it's more a popcorn film but on the better end of the spectrum. Enjoyable, but brain is optional.",6

Went to this movie today with great anticipation what a letdown sorry Quinton certainly not your best. I really wanted to love it but just a long ok story that really left me saying really?,5
"I didn't expect much from this movie. The Netflix tag still doesn't quite instill confidence despite their recent successful hits, and the action genre is one rife with hit and miss entries. I've already read quite a bit of feedback on this movie, and I feel like there's one key point they're all missing; this is a mindless action movie. Judging it on the merits of being a deep, thought-provoking character study is unfair. However judging it on the merits of being a balls-to-the-wall action flick, there's actually a lot here to redeem itself and set it apart from other attempts.

Okay, there isn't much plot to Extraction. The entire story is summarised in the movie's title. Hemsworth plays a mercenary; Tyler, who's sent to Bangladesh in order to extract a drug-lord's son from the possession of a rival drug-lord. The entire city goes on lockdown and Tyler has to fight his way through henchmen and a corrupt police force in order to get out. There's some nice twists here and there from changing allegiances, and a few points of foreshadowing and plot payoffs, but there's nothing that requires you to really wrap your brain around it, and honestly that's okay. This isn't Inception. Truth be told Extraction has a lot more plot (from the aforementioned allegiance switches and payoffs) than I expected, so I feel like calling it mindless is a little baseless.

Another thing about Extraction that plays against the dull and plot-less complaints is the character work. Again this isn't a full-on character study, and the background development we do get is a little cliché, but it's way more than your average run-of-the-mill action flick usually gets to enjoy. Tyler is a broken man after the death of his son and the breakdown of his marriage. He spends his days getting drunk and doing death-defying feats for fun. He has no more love of life. He doesn't get into the job because he cares about the kid or anyone involved. He just wants his money. But being haunted by the death of his son ends up making him more sympathetic to the fate of this kid, and as the movie goes on, the money means less to him. He just wants to get this kid out safe and alive.

But Tyler isn't the only one that enjoys a hefty amount of personality. The movie also makes a bit to explore other more fringe characters, the most notable of which is Saju, the kids keeper after his father was incarcerated. With assets frozen, he can't afford to pay the mercenaries what he owes, so he tries to finish the job himself, against them. We get a look into his family life and his motivations behind his actions, and sit with him in the downtimes between action sequences. He becomes as much the lead character as Tyler does, earning respect and sympathy from the audience. You end up really rooting for this guy even as him and Tyler sparr off. We also get a small glimpse into the world of the antagonist drug-lord, showing us how despicable he really is by casually killing kids without a care, and brainwashing those left over to work for him. Extraction is brutal to its kids, but it plays to Tyler's predisposition and creates a much tighter and meaningful narrative than many give it credit for.

But Extraction isn't about its plot or its characters, even though I feel those aspects are being unfairly criticised. Extraction is an action movie, directed by an ex-stuntman, starring muscled action stars from across the globe. In fact on that last point I particularly liked the movie's dedication to casting people roughly from the same area their character is meant to be from (or I guess vice versa; rewriting characters to fit the actor's background). Tyler is Australian, David Harbour plays a grizzled American on foreign soil, Nik is played by Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani, and while most the Bangladeshi characters are actually played by Indian actors, it's at least closer than most Hollywood casting. I particularly hope this opens up more Western opportunities for Randeep Hooda who played Saju, oozing charisma and cool without speaking a word, and effortlessly earning audience sympathies.

But anyway, horrific tangent aside, Extraction is about its action sequences, and on that it certainly doesn't fail. This is another movie in the likes of John Wick and Atomic Blonde that prefers its action gritty and efficient. There's style here for sure, but it rarely breaks suspension of disbelief, and we see real consequences for all the hits these characters take. Tyler takes time bandaging his arm and putting it in a sling, Saju has to put his broken nose back into place, and David Harbour offers probably the most realistic reaction to being shot in the chest I've seen in a long time. There's no flying acrobatics, and no artistic flailing of limbs to make the choreography look pretty. It's brutal and efficient fighting, showing how exhausting it can all be. Ammo counts and reloading matters, getting punched in the face is different to being kicked in the gut, being run-over by a car hurts. And this is before mentioning the soon to be most-talked-about 12-minute long shot action scene that spans car chases, knife fights, gun fights, and apartment brawls, following multiple characters and different perspectives with seamless match-cuts to give the illusion of a neverending single shot.

But the action isn't a complete winner, and there are reasons I'm apprehensive to label it as 'realistic'. Certain objects come out of nowhere for no reason just for excitement purposes, like high-speed cars heading down a dead-end. While there's no flying around, there are some cable stunts that are a little hard to swallow, like Tyler grabbing a kid by the leg and effortlessly throwing him into a car door. There's also a number of sniper moments that feel like they take too many liberties with how sniping works. Normally this would be pernickety even for me, but for a movie that wallows in it's accurate portrayal of gun fights, from injuries to the differentiation of sounds (pistols make more of a 'pah' sound, for instance), giving sniper superhuman abilities like seeing round corners and 100% accuracy just felt little lazy. In any other action movie I probably wouldn't have minded these slip-ups so much, but when the rest of it is all so tightly choreographed and mapped out, slipping up and breaking believability becomes so much more noticeable.

In some regards, Extraction is just an average, run-of-the-mill action flick, and in others it's up there with some of the genre's modern greats. There are stakes, characters have emotional backbones even if they are a little cliché, there aren't any deeper themes, but the narrative is still tight and focussed, the action is more phenomenal than it is irksome, the cinematography is a little bland, the soundtrack can feel like a rip-off of better scores, but these kinds of motifs are iconic because they work so well. I find Extraction a hard one to judge because it feels greater than it has any right to be, while also hitting just shy of the mark. But generally I fall positive, so I give Extraction a respectable 7/10, and honestly I could see myself bumping it up with subsequent rewatches. There's a lot in this movie to like.",7
"This is a sequel that I can't tell is either better or worse than the original. Now I did really enjoy the first movie, it wasn't perfect, but it was fun, funny, had great animation, good voice acting, and actually had a pretty good story. This film is fun, funny, has great animation (as well as some really good 2D animation sequences, it has great animation, good voice acting, a a story that adds to the original. So what you get is a pretty damn good sequel.

I still am not a big fan of Po, while he did grow on me more in this film I still felt the furious five was better. And thankfully they are in this movie a little bit more than the first one. I did laugh quite a bit, I always had a smile on my face. The animation is great, and unlike other Dreamworks films, it includes quite a bit of 2D animation in it that really looks good. The voices once again are good, Jack Black gives it his all, and the rest of the cast is good, and they let Jackie Chan have more than one line! But the story is really well done here, it adds to the first film, as we find out what happens to Po's parents. I won't spoil it, but the ending actually had me go, ""WOAH!""",8
"Good points. Well, the visuals were great that's for sure. The way they bent reality and had rooms spin and cities shift and stuff blow up, sure, great action. The soundtrack is good as well but it doesn't have any memorable tunes.

Bad points. What the hell was that action all about? Projections of someone's mind were typical people attacking the incerptors. Am I to believe that the ultimate defense a person's mind has is... faceless mooks? Where are the dragons, the supermen, the giant robots? Something that is NOT faceless mooks? If this is the realm of dreams then it should be filled with such stuff, there is no holding back. Not even the most pragmatic mind would be without such stuff. So here I am watching an hour long action scene that is better fit for a James Bond film (minus the rotating rooms) than an adventure in the subconscious mind of troubled men. Makes little sense.

Then the dialogues. Although the explanations around how the inception works were great and I did understand the concept, I found that it took a huge chunk of the duration. Half of the dialogues feel like the characters are indirectly explaining the theory to us. Something that they wouldn't since they are supposed to know such stuff and have no need to mention them.

Good point. The story is indeed interesting and offers a concept around the blurring of reality that has never been offered exactly like this before.

Bad point. The actual plot outside the interesting concept is mostly thrown away at shoot outs and explosions with random mooks that have nothing to do with a person's mind. If I dream something, I am the dream. Everyone is me, everyone acts like me, everything reacts like me. Yet the movie wants us to think our dream is like reality. I was not convinced that a dreamworld is so stiff. It was changing all right but the moment someone knows he is dreaming and doesn't wake up, he doesn't need to run or hide. He can mold everything where he stands and play it God. Thus the movie doesn't literally show how dreams work. It just gives you some nice ideas and wastes the rest in action scenes you can find even in a normal action movie.

Acting... no good or bad points here. There are no prevailing characters for all I care. The idea and the action overshadow the actors. Di Caprio and the gang did their parts well but I still find it hard to believe that such an unstable personality that has his murderous wife chasing him in dreams would be allowed to go on in such delicate missions. It's like inviting Freddy Krugger to chop you to pieces while the world hangs at the edge of the cliff. Bad plot element.

So is this movie good? In theory, yes. Action lovers and eggheads will love it. Scriptwritters may get some nice ideas from. But as far as I care it is NOT a masterpiece. It has too many convenient events, too much holding back, too much infodump, too much out-of place action.

Things that I would change to make this movie better: -No shootings with faceless mooks and blowing stuff just for the heck of it. -More dream morphing scenes in places of fore-mentioned pointless action. -Less infodump. -Less corny dead wife drama. We have Solaris for that.

The Cage is a movie doing a rather better portrait of a man's dreamworld. Not so much mambo jumbo around how it works but shows it better. And of course there is Solaris (dead wife thing) and Matrix (cool action) and James Bond (shooting and blowing stuff) to take out most other good parts of the movie. By the end of it, only the idea of inception is what stands out. And it wasn't exploited that much really.",6
"I've read many of the comments and agree that the film is one of the best. Having said that there are 2 very poor scenes:

The solid gold telephone. I'm sorry but it's clearly plastic and the actors look so embarrassed pretending it's solid gold.


The 1960's colour film. For some reason an old piece of colour film taken in the 1960's is inserted. I can't understand why, it adds nothing and because of the poor quality of film it looks completely out of place.


They stand out so much because the film is so good, why they were not edited out is a complete mystery to me.",8
"Now This is one super awesome movie!!!!!!!!!!!! :D You don't need people, who don't need you!! You are good enough to go out and carve your own niche!! If there are lakhs of bad people, then there are thousands of great people!! This is what ""Queen"" is all about! Definitely the best movie of the year till now, Seriously how awesomely it makes you feel good! Yaar Dil khush kar diya!! :D

And Definitely, not to leave out, that awesome cast! If you thought Srivedi was amazing in English Vinglish and you kinda connected, even though the story wasn't about Gen-Y, then you would just love Kangana as Queen!! I have my whole doubts of anyone doing a better justice to the movie than her! In every frame of the movie she felt real and you just see yourself in her, no matter how much confident you are!!

Girls, its time to take over and fly! There are thousands of opportunities around! All you need to do is come out of that box, feel the fresh air and live life!! Go Girl power! :D",10
"The characters are one dimensional and there is no chemistry between any of them on screen. The special effects are laughable compared to what GOT was able to pull off even in it's first season. There is no sense of excitement or magic that game of thrones had. It is not immersive in the slightest, just boring conversation after boring conversation. Yes this is more political than game of thrones, but it is not a fun watch at all, which it very well could be. I've had to take breaks every 20 minutes to go do something else before I can finish an episode. Hopefully this gets better. I won't be recommending this to anybody.",2
"Forgetting Sarah Marshall is the lifeline that spares all hitched men from watching a plot-less Patrick Dempsey film and enduring the single dimensioned antics common to the 'chick flick'.

The film revolves around Peter Bretter (Jason Segel), a music composer who dates Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), the lead actress of a crime fiction television show. After an unusual break up, Peter heads to Hawaii in an attempt to flee from his unbearable reality.

Upon checking in, Peter bumps into Sarah and 'the other guy'. Caught between the pursuits of winning his love back and moving on, the film exploits almost every awkward scenario in a truly whimsical fashion.

Jason Segel (knocked up) effortlessly balances his heart wrenching torment with peculiar and raunchy humour that favours both sexes. Solid characters coupled with a refined script make this an enjoyable—laugh until your spleen aches—couples movie.",8
"I played with barbies a lot as a kid, so I thought this movie was going to be fun. The trailer looked great, I thought, why not, let's have a girls movie night, kick back relax, watch a funny iconic movie about my favorite toys as a kid. But I was greatly let down really fast. The movie was all about a strong message of what a woman is, what a man is, how the world defines those roles and how we should just be whoever we are. There was nothing in the movie that made me laugh. It all felt kinda heavy with the message they were telling. It's definitely not a kids movie either, I don't think they would understand half of it. Really wasn't happy with the movie.",5
Just go and watch one of the best movie in Bollywood,10
I have watch this movie so many time and never get bored.I really love this movie and I watch it gaqin again,10
"Kung Fu Panda 2

Being on the endangered species list is a good indicator of how successful your species is at martial arts.

That is why the giant panda in this animated movie must be some sort of anomaly.

When Lord Shen (Gary Oldman), a malevolent peacock, learns from a mystic (Michelle Yeoh) that a panda will overthrow him, he orders the race's annihilation.

Years later, Shen's shocked to discover a panda, Po (Jack Black), survived the genocide to become a Kung Fu Dragon Master.

Welding a cannon, Shen sets out to conquer China and destroy Po and his Furious Five (Seth Rogen, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, David Cross, Lucy Liu).

An ominous origin tale, Kung Fu Panda 2 delivers equivalent slapstick action to the first, but with a new level of story complexity.

Besides, why waste your time decimating the panda population, when their lack of sex-drive will do the job for you? (Green Light)",7
"I really liked the first season, decent characters and a story line with lots of wordy dialogue reminiscent of Game of Thrones. Perhaps a cheap knock off but still the monster CGI is good enough for a television show. Probably an 8/10 for me and Henry is better in this than his Superman stuff.

The second season just dropped in late 2021 and I binged it on a few nights. The dialogue has become stupidly simple, almost written by high school drop outs. Maybe I overlooked this in the first series and was distracted by the story. Here it is an eyesore and obvious. The story is trash this time even if it's a continuation, it just feels like all filler.

Netflix found that they had a huge hit, better than expected and probably stretched a possible second season into which could go on for 4-6 more years. The entire 8 episode series could have been compressed into 2, just a whole lot of filler and background scenes. By the end of the season I hate the word Cirilla. I've had enough close ups of her face filling up the entire screen to last me a lifetime. It gets old by the 3rd eps and you're forced to sit through flashbacks and visions over and over. I give this a 2/10 and it averages out to a 5.

This seems like a huge cash grab in the vacuum of any decent shows now and still has a good enough production value, but once you start picking it apart it just falls to pieces. I think this is similar to GoT season 6, where the writers knew they had a good thing, and presumes they could write anything and it would be praised and popular. Well, we all know how that turned out. A 3rd season here is more likely to resemble GoT season 8 than anything else.",5
"What an amazing movie, full credit to Nagraj Manjule Sir. Music of Atul Ajay. Cast is just superb. Screenplay was amazing. Amit is simply brilliant.

Watch it,24 is great!",10
"The juxtaposition of young Vito building the family and Michael tearing it apart continues the corruption arc of Michael's character and adds a refresshing new layer to the film's story and pace (whenever it seems like it's about to get boring it cuts to young Vito and quickly picks up again).

Robert De Niro is the easy standout, but I have to give credit to John Cazale for his heartbreaking (get it?) performance as Fredo. The scene where he says he's smart and wants respect alwas hits me hard.

Also, I've never see as much geniune rage in an actor's face as in the scene where Michael fights with Kay. Al Pacino is beyond incredible.",10

Superb acting by Pankaj and Rajkumar

The movie perfectly takes twists and turns like in ludo game with other aspects like emotions humour action background scores etc

A little bit of editing is required

You have to prepare yourself for a new kind of entertainment in Bollywood",7
"A show long on my list, and one likely the less you know about the better, we follow the mad scientist Rintarou Okabe, and his ever-growing lab members, as he discovers a means of time travel and reshapes the past and future as we know it. Definitely an insane show, as any involving time travel, I moved this top of list after finishing the recent Bodies, a vastly different, but similarly premised series. Skipping the OVA and follow-up ""alternate timeline"" series, the original was a lot of fun, although gets fairly darker than I expected going into it, and changes tone considerably from episode one to the end, but at only 24 episodes it never wastes your time. Not in a bad way by any means, but you kinda just have to ignore its tropes or seeming incoherence for the first bit in order for it to justify itself. In the end its good, I'm still thinking about it, and while I may have to visit one or more ""Steins;Gate explained"" youtube videos it presented its ideas well enough that I think I understood it, though wouldn't mind a rewatch some day. If you're a fan of anime already I'd certainly recommend, probably not a great first foray into the genre, but its good if it already seems like something you'd already be into.",6
Several episodes into the 1st season yet and nothing interesting has happened. It's not too bad but not as good as expected either. Probably will get better with time or not. Anyway it's alright for time pass.,7

"The first and third 'Spider-Man' movies were simply fantastic.But it gets even better with 'Spider-Man 2'. It's full of action, has plenty of adventure, and is full of award winning special effects.Like any other super hero sequel, there's always a new villain.The villains name in 'Spider-Man 2' is Dr. Octopus.AKA Doc Ock.He has 4 mechanical tentacles that can flip cars and throw people at great distances.Does he remind you of anything? Of course he does.What does he remind you of? An Octopus... Duh.It may sound kind of stupid, but Doc Ock's character actually helps the movie become a 2 hour roller-coaster ride of a movie.Just remember that Spider-Man can do whatever a spider can.",10
"Loved it loved it loved it.

It's so funny, i was clapping, shrieking, cheering the characters on several times. The movie is just after my own heart, as far as the actual theme and message is concerned. I sympathise wholeheartedly with women's cause and can't thank Greta Gerwig enough for bringing this fresh new take on worldview at least on silver screen.

Will Ferrell is awesome here, his unique comedy gels so well with the funny theme that the movie has adopted. Simu Liu, Ryan Gosling were stars here. Loved what greta did with the narrative. It's so cool and unexpected and refreshing and did i mention Funny !?**

I was only left wishing Kate McKinnon had a meatier role and more impactful presence. Barbie is awesome. Everyone of them.

Would i watch it again? Yes, in a year's time. Great show ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐",8

"I didn't expect to see Jason Segel's manhood quite so early or as frequently in the film, but it's nothing scandalous. The film is funny enough, sweet enough, good enough for your typical rom-com, but one which goes for a bit more of the raunchy humor rather than the Girl-next-door stories that saturate the genre. Enjoyable so long as you take it for what it is.",7
The second season Discovery of Witches was as beautiful and exciting as first season.,10
"One of the most pained movie experiences I have ever had. Gives that usual feeling of a movie being made because the first series installment went over so well. Masterpieces can't be done twice. The plot was so drawn out and dry, I recall legitamatley falling asleep at one point and having to rewatch some of it. Wish there was only one Godfather movie.",5
"'American Fiction' feels a bit like two films in one. There's the satirical side to the film which is quite light-hearted and is poking fun at the things its intended to, and then there's quite a serious side to the movie where characters are dealing with grief and heart-breaking family issues. And it can be quite hard to get into a rhythm with the film because of this. The lucky thing, and the thing that saves it, is that it does both of these things quite well. And so even though you may never really settle into anything as an audience member, you're still having a good time with every scene.

It's rare that best Picture nominees are this entertaining. It felt like I was laughing too often for a film that was nominated in that prestigious category. The film is very funny. In fact towards the end it contained one of the funniest lines of dialogue I have heard in a film in a very long time.

The only let down for me was that the film runs out of steam a bit towards the end and doesn't really know how to conclude things. It all felt a little underwhelming unfortunately. It's a lot easier for a film to get away with a slow beginning than it is a slow ending. Still though, I found a lot of enjoyment in this film. 8/10.",8
"Tarantino has done some good stuff, and Pulp Fiction is a classic, but this movie isn't so good. It is well made, but with a very bad story and pointless violence. It has most of the typical Tarantinoisms - Lots of cameos of forgotten stars, cool songs, funny characters and dialogue... Worse than Hateful Eight I'd say. Perhaps the next flick will be his comeback.",5
"When I was about to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender, I wasn't sure it would be even good and just another Anime-wannabe. But after seeing it from beginning to end just left me to a point a felt a void inside me just for it to have ended. This indeed is a masterpiece, the finest of all animated series. The research that is put in making Bending style, the music so amazing, the legendary story with humble characters who struggle with their very being in a full-fledged global war. Every episode has a message, a meaning and development. While other great series just below Avatar like Simpson, you watch 3 episodes and you saw the entire series, but with Avatar every episode makes it grow. And now it's universe expanding and able to replace Spongebob as Nick's flagship series (Hope they don't mess it up) it is going to be a bright future. For now, this series is again a Masterpiece, an art that will stand in time and heart of people, the pinnacle for storytelling in American Cartoon Story and the rise of a new amazing fictional world.

My Verdict: A masterpiece series with amazing story, characters, music and how simple it is. A must-see series for all age. Something that must be remembered.

10/10",10
"Not sure there is a single positive thing I can say about this film. Absolutely horrible in spite of the string of stars involved in its creation. Woody Harrelson, Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg, Morgan Freeman are all talented actors but what a waste of creative juices. If you must watch this then be forewarned that it lacks any substance whatsoever. The acting is minimal. The writing and dialogue are amateurish. It's billed in the crime category but it falls way short of that. It's billed as a mystery but twenty minutes into it, I didn't care whodunit, I wanted it over. Drama? A big miss there, too. Thriller? Don't get your hopes up. So what does it offer? Not much. It wasn't even entertaining as I lost total interest very quickly. It's this kind of film that has the viewer wondering who in their right mind decided to throw money at this project. At some point didn't anyone look around and say, ""Wow, this is total crap!"" 115+ minutes I'll never get back. The way the film ended it was almost as if the director dabbled at making a sequel. Please, please, I beg you to reconsider. In other words, viewers, do not waste your time.",2
"The Good: I remember seeing this movie opening night back in July 2012, and while I think everyone in the theatre recognized that this was an apparent downgrade from The Dark Knight, most of us were happy with it. (Judging from the clapping and cheering).

Years later, and there's still a lot to like about this movie. TDKR excels in select moments; Bane's fights with Batman, that first chase scene. Nolan is an inherently talented film maker, so there are a lot of cool shots and moments. I even like how they were inspired by No Man's Land and a lot of the stuff in occupied Gotham was pretty fun. I also have to give Nolan credit for doing something different (although this movie seems very pre-planned) and not just rehashing The Dark Knight again. And yes, a fan of the character, there are just some inherently powerful and emotional moments in this movie, especially towards the end.

Zimmer's score is also INCREDIBLE. It's big, epic, and best experienced with the best sound system imaginable. While I think TDK's score is still the best (with the gothic, dramatic piano), this one is very good as well and punctuates a lot of the film's best moments.

But...I think two Batmen and ten years later, long after Nolan has since moved on...it's fair to admit this movie is bad.

The Bad: Let's take a second to appreciate the opening scene of this film. A CIA agent is in Uzbekistan to extract a nuclear physicist, Dr. Pavel, whom is on the run after refusing to work for an elusive terrorist named Bane. The CIA decides that it's a good idea for Dr. Pavel to be leaving the country on the SAME PLANE as the suspected terrorists. Little Finger is here, playing the main CIA officer and he's absolutely terrible, his performance is hilarious and he's screaming for 90% of it. Bane reveals himself and is rescued by another plane, where armed men fly out off, killing the crew of the CIA plane and then rescuing Bane and company by attaching hooks to it and literally carrying the plane, until eventually dropping it. Before this happens, Dr. Pavel's blood is transfused into the body of a random corpse to make it seem like ""he died.""

Now, this opening is visually stunning and very impressive. It is mostly practical - what we are seeing on screen was ACTUALLY filmed - and it's stuff like this that keeps this movie from being a total disaster. But for Bane's plan to have succeeded, we have to assume a) a blood transfusion can somehow disguise a body, b) the CIA hasn't informed anyone of what just happened before the plane was attacked, c) the CIA guys were stupid enough to have Bane on the same plane and so on. This is a far cry from the thoughtfulness of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

I don't want to declare.this film's shift in tone as equivalent to Batman Forever after Batman Returns...but it's not that crazy of a statement, is it? TDKR feels like a completely different movie made by a different creative team, despite having the EXACT same writers involved.

The dialog is awful in this movie. From ""you're...pure evil,"" to ""there is an evil...RISING,"" to basically everything Joseph Gordon Levitt and Tom Hardy say, this movie is hilarious at times. There are so, so many one liners that were obviously designed for the trailer. And there are just so many elements that seem fantastical and completely at odds with the tone established in TDK.

Whereas that movie felt mature and grounded, a legitimate and sensical crime story with heightened ""Batman"" elements, this one jumps the shark considerably. I think the primary word that comes to mind when I think about TDKR is...DUMB. Everything and everyone was hit by ""intelligence reducing beam,"" that afflicted the final two seasons of Game of Thrones, apparently. I'm serious - almost every character, from Jim Gordon to Bane to Catwoman to Lucius to Batman/Bruce Wayne himself, is noticeably dumbed down. Think about the way Bruce reacts to Alfred (before Michael Caine just leaves randomly) or how everyone takes the existence of the Clean Slate at face value only for it to ACTUALLY exist. Or, how Lucius and Bruce trust ""Miranda"" despite the audience never seeing her before. And that's not even getting to the meat of the movie.

Tom Hardy's Bane is a joke. He's not ""iconic,"" he's funny. He has a silly voice, says silly things in silly ways and is generally a moustache twirling Snidley Whiplash with bad audio. Say what you want about The Joker's - his plans worked out a little too well, the logistics of how he gets from point A to B undetected are suspect - but they were grounded. He terrorizes Gotham through bombings, assassinations, and kidnappings. You know, things have ACTUALLY happened in the real world.

Bane, to accomplish the SAME THING, has to invade the sewers of Gotham with seemingly THOUSANDS of men (secretly, mind you), rig explosives perfectly leading to Batman's armory, assume the cops will send the ENTIRE GCPD down into the sewers to stop him, blow up the entrances and exits, trapping them down there...

AND THEN, blowing up all of the bridges leading out of Gotham, setting a neutron bomb to detonate in a few months, transferring said bomb to a different truck every few days...You see what I mean? His plan is so convoluted and ridiculous. Consequentially, the plot is overly complicated with too many characters.

The final act of this movie is a complete mess and it devolves right after Bane is defeated (despite...Batman having suffered a serious injury and not really training or fighting anyone to prepare for him). The entire sequence with the Batplane, the ""sacrifice,' the insane revelation that Bruce is in fact, alive, (complete with without a doubt, the dumbest moment in the trilogy) his non-romance with Catwoman, the Robin reveal..(the idea that Batman and Alfred just leave all of this tech in the hands of a man both of them BARELY know is incredible to me).

It's just too stupid for me to look past. There is so much wrong here and I genuinely feel this movie was fundamentally flawed from the start.

The Ugly: I used to love this movie, then like it, then tolerate it, and now, having watched 8 Batman movies in a row, I can definitively say this is not a good one. In fact, it's probably my least favourite outside of the trainwreck that is Batman & Robin.

This is a movie that gets worse every time you watch it, the complete opposite of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. However, I'm happy to say that with The Batman (2022), the future of the character looks bright, so while it's certainly a disappointing movie, we have other Batman stories to look forward to.

But, given my self-inflicted Batman immersion over the past week, yeah I'm not talking/thinking about/watching anything to do with the Caped Crusader for a little while.",5

"Let's make it clear here that I'm not biased with either Marvel or DC, I enjoy both and I gave Batman v Superman the benefit of the doubt. You can read more of my thoughts on my review of the film. I'm a huge fan of DC and felt that the movie suffered many problems with it's story and character development. That's where Marvel has the upper hand for many years now, by setting up all these movies and stories we get well developed and likable characters that we already identify with. Once you get to a movie like Civil War, you've laid out the groundwork for an epic movie. Sure Marvel doesn't follow their story lines exactly like the comic but it approaches it in a very respectful way. The thing that always stuck out to me about Civil War in the comics was how personal the fight felt. The characters were all part of a team and were like a family, they loved each other and cared about one another. It felt like a realistic take on what really happens when you argue with the people you love, you see things one way, but they see it differently, and you both struggle to find a middle ground. This element I was pleased to see made it into the film, the motivations were different than the comic but the intentions still felt the same to me. We've seen the Avengers grow together as a team and as a family, but now we see them forced into this situation nobody wants to be in. These characters that were friends, partners, brothers, get torn apart by different circumstances, and you really feel the weight of it all. Especially between Tony and Steve, the Russo's have talked about betrayal being a theme in the film and I can see what they mean, Tony and Steve have such great dynamic in it all I'd hate to give away what draws the line between them but it sank my heart into my stomach to see their friendship being shredded to pieces. The Russo brothers did a spectacular job with the Winter Soldier and this film is no exception. The action was just phenomenal, every set piece was timed right, and the story didn't drag by any means. One of the strong points of the Russo's that me and a friend of mine agreed on was the fact that they have a good understanding of character arc, they added so many new characters in this movie, and they were used perfectly, each one had a shining moment. Black Panther and Spider-Man rocked it the most in my opinion, both are just a hoot to watch and I can't wait to see them star in their own solo films. I think many people were disappointed with Age of Ultron because it didn't really feel like anything new, or improve on what we've seen before, it was the first Avengers just a little bigger. This movie is what Age of Ultron should have been, emotional, conflicting, and epic in it's own way. I was worried this movie would be black and white, making Tony the antagonist and Steve the ""good guy"". I felt conflicted and didn't know who to side with, and you know the movie's done it's job when you don't even know who's right, and who's wrong. A 10/10 for me, and easily one of the best Marvel movies to date. I've only given Marvel a 10/10 for the first Iron Man, the first Avengers, The Winter Soldier, and Guardians. If you love their films, this one you'll easily love. Great way to start the summer and a perfect way to kick off phase 3!",9
"I had seen a lot of people talking up this film on social media so I decided to ignore the mixed reviews on IMDb. The first thing I thought was that this was extremely similar to The Happening. I liked the mayhem at first but the film was unnecessarily long. If a film is excellent or even just good I have no problem watching for 3 hours. I love a good slow burner like the amazing Drive with Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan. This, however could of been cut by 30 minutes easily. Like I said, this film has received mixed reviews so maybe you will like but unfortunately it wasn't for me.",4
"Loved the film. It was gripping, well acted, beautifully shot and I changed my opinion about Urmila after this one. Boy, can she act and look good! She was great as the vulnerable girl and then amazing in the prison scenes. She was better than Saif, although he did a really good job playing the cold selfish man. There were times in the beginning when I thought he was leading her on, and then he would parry it off with some remark! I can see how this moved him on to his landmark role in Omkara.

The script was taut, the film was exceptionally well edited, had no songs and dances, and was real, brutal and honest for the most part. Yes there were some issues with the film. If you were stealthily stalking someone then it might not be a good idea to be dressed in hot pink, bright orange and bright red, and hardened criminals should be able to spot a closely following car. But I was not bothered much by this and other issues as I sat on the edge of my seat almost the whole time. And the director followed this up with Johnny Gaddaar! What talent! My two cents worth is that RGV should go back to production and giving chances to talented directors.",8
"Bad reviews are just fragile, easily offended people.",9
"Being a Tarantino movie you go with some expectations to the theater. The acting was great, but it was slow, minimal story line and what I missed especially was a great soundtrack. Tarantino was so good with that, but now I cannot remember one song from the movie. If this movie would be directed by anybody else I think it would be burned down by the critics. Lets see, it might grow on me, a bit.",5
"This show definitely deserves a higher rating. Even though it starts slow, it becomes better and better with each episode. It is action packed, the chemistry between the actors is great and it keeps you on the edge of your seat, wondering what is going to happen next. And the science behind it makes it all a lot more interesting. I was sad to hear that season 7 was the final one, cause I wasn't tired of the show at all. Which usually happens when a show is dragged on for too long. I recommend everyone to watch this one, especially Marvel fans!",10
"It is shocking to me sometimes to sit and watch these kind of movies. for starters, it's obvious that the only thing the script writers could think of is the dream concept, nothing more. so, if you have one idea, why not use it over and over till every one thinks it's clever? so the story is basically about a guy going into another guy's dream, then into a dream within a dream, then into a dream within a dream then - you guessed it. it's not smart, and without it, i doubt they could have gotten more then an hour out of this story line, but add the ""awsome complexity"" (for a 2 year old monkey) of a dream within a dream and they got a 2 and a half!! hour movie.

now to the acting - doesn't exist, sorry. some how, Leonardo D gets more movies although he can't act. the side kicks next to him learned the trade quite fast and they too don't believe in acting. in fact, the only acting you get through out the movie is when you see the extras, they were great. why not shoot leonardo and replace him with one of the extras? good question

that being said, i would recommend watching it once, for the effects and shooting, that's all this movie is good for. and please, don't think it's a smart movie, that only makes you look like an idiot",4
"Endearing depiction of melancholic story-telling, but couldn't quite shake the underlying autobiographical quality of its writer-director commodifying the tiresome woes of a privileged life. Profoundly punctuated by her father's name prominently displayed under executive producer as the credits roll.

It's beauty and downfall both lie in the fact that there are no true villains present, nor are there any heroes. At the end of the day life goes on and it becomes an intimate decision to smile over succumbing to a nihilistic viewpoint.

Brilliantly acted, it serves as a masterclass on illustrating the mundane with authentic charm. However, it's ordinariness seems reaching from a filmmakers standpoint; as though a voyeuristic study of what celebrities think the average person desires which could only be displayed through the juxtaposition of a fictional celebrity's experience. An undeserved and under-explored take on ""celebrities, they're just like us.""",6
"Okay i just heard about this series five years after its off the air, its such a fun show they laugh and make fun of all races genders and nationalities, probably not a series that would be allowed in 2020, i almost quit after ten min but it comes around quickly",7
"I really wanted to like this movie, but it was simply uninspiring.

There was no chemistry among the characters, and little reason to care.

The very average acting also didn't help.",2
"I think we would all like to know what ADHD producer keeps hiring Michael Bay to direct such incoherent hacked up movies.

Could of, should of, been a much much better movie.",3
"While the technical aspects and special effects of this film should be highly praised, it is the writing that really sets it apart. Cheesy puns in a comic book can be funny on occasion, but many times they offer no more than filler to get to the next panel. The characters (especially Jonah Jameson) have witty dialogue and great timing, the we-have-to-say-it catch phrases and puns aren't too over the top, and tiny little plots that have nothing to do with the big picture are entertaining in themselves. Spider-Man 2 gave characters that didn't shine in the first movie a chance to, and let us get to know the others better. Octavius/Dr. Octopus was solid both as a hero and villain, we got to see more of Aunt May. She may be the real masterpiece of this sequel, as she is not just the old lady to be saved, but the one who saves Spider-Man.",10
"Beside the plot, all main actors and Millie Bobby Brow acting aren't great except Gaten Matarazzo.",1
"Look, it's over 2 hours. Why does this need to be over 2 hours long? I should mention this movie is really boring.

It's probably the most stretched-out film i've ever seen. With a plot already suitable for a half an hour short, Captain America: Civil War requires to know exactly what happens in the previous delivers, but i don't mean you've got to remember just a bit, you've got to remember everything or else you're not going to understand where the characters come from, why they act they way they do, just overall why things happen. I suppose this might be great for comic fans, but for someone like me it's just a pain in the ass.

The characters feel lazy. There is not much character development going on, as most just come out of nowhere and are suddenly protagonists. Also, as i've mentioned before, there are so much of them that it just feels confusing.

As usual, though, the special effects are awesome. The sound effects are also nice. The combat scenes are well done and the movie is astonishingly directed.

Now, do i recommend this movie? No, of course not! Unless you're a big comic fan, or just want to see the action scenes, this film is not going to be a hassle. Awesome special effects and direction, but with an lacking and overall boring story.",1
"I am a big fan of all the Coen Brothers movies, but this is their masterpiece. After seeing that both the USA men's and women's Olympic curling teams were from Bemidji, Minnesota, only one hundred miles north of Brainerd, the home town of Frances McDormand's character, and then listening to the similarity of the curler's accents to the characters in the movie, I had to watch it again. Not surprisingly, the movie gets better each time I see it.

But if you really want to see a great review, read the one by Roger Ebert. He won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it, and those that have will laugh right along as he describes the movie. His review can be found at rogerebert.suntimes.com. When you get there, just search for ""Fargo""",9
"Such a let down :( I'm sorry but if none book readers need to Google after every episode to make sense of the lore and just plain wtf is going on you have failed as a writer. It had so much potential Please up your game for season 2 writers!. New writers, directors and editors.👍",1
"It's not that it couldn't be interesting. It could. But the writing is so self-obsessed that it quickly becomes tedious. This is not the kind of plot and subject matter that improves with a laughable tech campus complete with 80 foot tall buddhachild rising up out of the woods, where every shot believes itself to be atmospheric and riveting. It takes 19 minutes to get to where we should have gotten in about 7. Giddyup, Devs.",4
"Just finished watching this on my big screen television, and it was good Saturday afternoon fun. Some funny moments, some good action, a good cast, and a decent story. Nothing over the top or nonsensical, it was what was expected of the Sandler and Aniston duo. The car chase for me was the best part of film. I haven't spent money on a movie ticket in over twenty years because films are not worth it anymore, but I wouldn't have been disappointed if I purchased a ticket for this one. Very decent.",5
"Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) is a boring, confusing sequel with some good scenes with magic.

Newt Scamander and Jacob Kowalski are still likable, but the other characters are just plot devices or something to cause conflict with the main characters.

Johnny Depp as Grindelwald was a good villain but he isn't in the movie that much until the end. The side characters and their story was confusing in how it connected to whatever the main plot was.

There are plot holes and scenes that don't make sense when they have a point to the story, even if there are cool magic scenes.

Jude Law as Dumbledore was good but he wasn't in most of the movie. I wish he was in it more, because he sounded interesting.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) was better. Even though there are plot holes and a confusing story at times in this movie, it has cool magic scenes and likable main characters you can watch.",5
"This shows plot seems like the secondary story of a show rather than the primary one. Idc about the family drama, and the show is 80% family drama. ""Boo hoo I don't wanna get married, I'm a rebel"", sums up the main character. The king seems like the only likable character and he's kind of boring. I've watched 5 episodes and feel no compulsion to watch more. There needs to be a wider story arc that's more about the world than there is. They touch on other things but they don't really go very deep, it's more of just an excuse for one of the characters to do something predictable. I don't expect it to match GoT quality, but so far it's not even close.",4
"This movie fails in such an astonishing way, that it really deserves a bonus for that: so 4/10 it is from me, instead of 3/10.

Taylor-Joy and Fiennes are definitely below their acting capabilities: just an ""ok"" performance.

The lines that are meant to make you laugh, won't satisfy even the ""audience"" that laughs in the backround of American TV series.

You really feel pity for the plot, which struggles to surprise you. It's like Reiss and Tracy came up with the idea to blend their loathing of modern cooking with their lack of a genuine originality and content. An artsy attempt...

So I'm still hungry just as Taylor-Joy is in the movie and I wish I had watched a real movie instead.",4
"The story is very hard to understand, and the scene is overly acted , so hard to have fun and get excited with this.",3
"I feel that most of the materials was rip off of ""Wednesday as an adult series"" the YouTube channel from melissahunter, that you guys put a cease and desist. And she took down her videos, she honored the original material better in my view than this cheap Netflix knock off. Basically not an original idea. The YouTube did everything better in honoring the original material, this is just money grab from Netflix using melissahunter ideas. It is horrible, how they just rehashed the material, it's cringe and it makes me sad .All the praises should go to the youtuber in my opinion, mind you those videos were made 6 years ago.",1
"I am writing a review after a long time,and will keep up this time as i feel every honest movie lover should do to stop the propaganda being played by certain media houses and critics in our country

Uri is a gem of a movie,we finally get to see a covert-op movie in India where we usually don't expect much from directors as they have been feeding us mediocre movies for a long time,with occasional decent ones.

PLOT and STORY The plot is a no-brainer if u keep up with things going on in the world,a special team of soldiers is forged to avenge the death of their brothers in arms,lost to a proxy war.The story is beautifully told with strong characters,but the strong point is the covert-missions carried out

CAST Impressive,,Vicky,Paresh,Yami are the leads with decent contribution from Kriti and Mohit Raina,every character is well written and acted.

SCREENPLAY and DIRECTION One of the best,like we had in Western covert-ops movies,,the goosebumps i got while watching the strikes,the pride i had during those minutes....

So stop listening to the propaganda,and watch if u have not watched already!!!",10
"Boring, 2+ hours that can be summarized in 1... Stretching the plot to its limit is good for the box office but it's very bad for the movie quality. It's sad watching a potential good story ruined by the necessity of making endless amount of movie from a story that (until now) looks like could fit on a single one... Or less",5
"Once again, writer Charlie Kaufman creates an interesting story that challenges traditional cinema with 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'. In this film, the audience experiences first-hand the psychological trauma of Joel (Jim Carrey)as he loses and tries to hang on to his memories of Clemintine (Kate Winslet). The cinematography and special effects truly capture the dream-like sense of being in Joel's head while the scenes in Joel's apartment ground the film in reality. With some strong performances from Carrey and Winslet, as well as the supporting cast, 'Eternal Sunshine' is a worthwhile film to see. 'Eternal Sunshine' does, however, have its challenges. Similar to previous Kaufman screenplays (like 'Being John Malcovich), this film requires its audience to be patient as the plot does move along slowly. While this film does offer something unique to the film industry it may not be for everyone. But if you are prepared to step outside the boundaries of Hollywood cinema and into the world of independent film, 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' is an intriguing place to start.",6
"The game doesn't have that much of magic and effects, I feel that this series just drifted away from the witcher's core of a complicated but yet satisfactory story to becoming more of a shallow and fantasy tale... Not to mention their choice of characters! Despite Henry nailed it, but yet other characters didn't really have any depth to them especially Jennifer (Anya) whom character developed way too fast that we didn't just feel it... Netflix didn't it,,, very commercialized series that doesn't really create new fans to the witcher, but quite the opposite, it can barely interest the original fans",4
"For those who read the books, everything is pretty clear. For those who have not, give it a try.

Seeing how well this serie is rated i guess there are more of those who havent read the books.

What is there to like? Some images, some effects, the costumes....? It is clear that those who made the serie did not love the story, they just wanted to make some money.

This is so sad.",1
"Just sat through almost 3 hours of this meandering film. Sorry, just don't get it. I think this was arguably QT's worst and most boring film to date. The first 2 hours bored me to death to get to the payoff in the last 30. Missing were the clever dialogue and uncomfortable moments QT is famous for. There were some walk-outs in the audience halfway through. No clapping at the end, no happy chatter amongst the remaining crowd on the way out. Plenty of grumbling with quite a few people using the word ""crap"" on their way to their cars.",4
I watched the 1st 2 episodes like everyone else and I was bored. I fell asleep on both of them. Maybe I just hoped for some MCU action and got nothing so this seemed like a dud. Come on MCU and get this thing cranked up!!!,2
"An excellent take on the competitive world of post-school education and coaching in India, Kota Factory nails every single aspect of being a 10th passout looking to enter an IIT. But what makes the 5-episode mini series a worthwhile watch is not the description of the life of such a student but the the freshness and partial didactic approach that aims to educate the viewer about the real goal. A must-watch for both students and parents. TN.

I almost fell asleep: no jump scares. Nothing creepy. Maybe only once. Honestly wish I saved money and watched it online. It drags out but I've seen low budget movies that were better. If you get to the toe sucking part it made me laugh but overall it could have been a good movie, maybe the thought of the idea with the hand and the spirits but it was literally a dump. Who ever is writing a 'horror' movie. Let's be honest???",3

"I was really looking forward to this movie based on early reviews and I have never been so disappointed and confused by the end of a film. This movie starts off really promisingly,solid character work and an intriguing plot. Then everything goes off the rails at around the 1 hour mark. This seems to be the main praise from all the 9/10 star reviews, but I have to ask whether these people enjoyed what they were watching, or simply want to support creative cinema despite how watchable it is. Im all for expression and out of the box ideas, but the narrative completely falls apart by the last 30 minutes, recycling the same ""epiphany"" type scene over and over again until the point of complete boredom. Iv never wanted a film to end more whilst being in the cinema as I was so frustrated and burnt out by the end.",3
"Redmayne needs to learn not to mumble into his chin, for Chrissake! Editor needs to learn not to push NOISE over actor's speech! Then, one MAY be able to follow the dialogue. I wish I had more to say but, truly, the movie itself is OK, it's the incessant hunt for the Redmayne's trailing voice that drains the viewer. On top of that, it's either the editor or the cinema engineer that needs to learn how to crank the light where it needs to be for a 3D experience. One or both forgot that and the movie, for me, was dull as if dipped into liquid drab, washed out and dull. Definitely NOT what I planned to give my money for, including the previous complaint about the sound. Story is on its own merit OK, but it had trouble staying desirable and entertaining after actors, lighting, editing took their toll.",4
"Aman chutya hai 1 number ka. Kis chutye ko tum Sony fuddu log leke aaye ho. Poora show flop Kara rah hai Season 1 se.

"Saw this a bit overrated in a theater. Though the storyline is a bit thin, this movie shows the madness of warfare during WWI. Great shots btw.",7
"Yes it is clever, but the plot is predictable and not nearly as hard to articulate as people are making out.

The special effects are fantastic and the story line is interesting but there is no way this film should be up there with the likes of the Godfather and the Matrix.

The actors have been cast well and the musical score is fantastic and really adds to the suspense and impact of some of the scenes. DiCaprio in this movie again shows why he has rightly taken his place as one of Hollywood's biggest names.

Yeah its good film and you should go see it, but it is not as great a movie as many believe.",7
"Sorry Potter fans, if one breaks up a long novel (for $$ purposes) into ""setup"" and ""resolution"", the setup film will usually suffer. If it helps assuage your feelings, I gave Part II a 9, fully understanding that I risk the opprobrium of the ""bah humbug"" crowd.

Please do not argue that the dialog among the principals, filling time between the various ""apparations"", is somehow there to develop character. It formulaic and exists solely to fill book pages and screen time. (Watch a Kurosawa film, if you don't quite get my point.)

Face it, people. This is a weak entry in an otherwise admirable, though hardly profound, series.

"This would-be fashionable mystery film wants to look and feel like a million dollars, but has ended up as a catchpenny, gaudy follow-up to its successful predecessor Knives Out from 2019. Only detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is retained from the original, everything else is new yarn spun around more or less the same concept - private investigator Blanc is brought in to solve a mysterious situation. Rian Johnson (Looper) has both written and directed yet again, and he tries desperately to be clever in every single scene. But the film is so wordy, contrived and weirdly diversified that it suppresses any chance the story ever had of feeling fresh and elegant. The characters feel simultaneously indistinguishable and insipidly diverse. They have become a parody of well-rounded movie characters rather than the instruments for social satire they arguably were intended as. Granted, Glass Onion has a mildly fascinating intro, but then moves fast into an hour of explaining rather than presenting its story, which is the true hallmark of lazy movie making.",4
"Film not suitable for children, dark, violent, and the whole plot is complicated for young minds. and 2 hours of tedium.",3
"What's going on with the final episode? The second last episode is a great ""characters sort out their stuff"" story. Logically the last episode would follow on from that but instead Alan is stuck trying to convince Nadya she's about to be hit by a car. Would make more sense if he had to remind her about her childhood and tell her that she didn't actually cause her mother's death.

Also the weird parade with the homeless guy is super odd. This is a guy who wanders around with no shoes in the park. He's clearly not working with a super-coordinated artist troupe making giant puppets.",8
"I read only here that the female lead is Lady Gaga. Frankly, I had not seen her until this day. Neither my wife. We closed the film after 30 mins. Nothing special, very boring. She is not convincing at all (voice nothing extraordinary; neither the acting skills). Bradley acted well as always.",5
"I wasn't expecting this movie to be good and it really wasn't. There isn't much to say about this movie as it's pretty much exactly the same as the 1994 classic. It's pretty much a copy that misses everything that made the original so amazing. There are a few decent changes, such as a few hints about Scar's backstory and a few nice new lines, but overall there isn't anything I can say to justify wasting your time. The voice actors are alright, but inferior to the ones from the original film and even James Earl Jones sounds bored throughout most of his screen time. However, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar was terrible. He delivered way too many of his lines with his voice raised, shouting a majority of his dialogue. What made Jeremy Irons so fantastic was that he delivered a lot of his lines calmly, but sinisterly, while Ejiofor went for the complete opposite approach that doesn't work nearly as well. The CGI is fantastic, but the realistic looking lions causes the characters to be completely expressionless, despite the emotion coming from the voices of the actors. The score is also incredible, but it's still mostly the same music from the original film. In summary, watching this movie is a complete waste of time and money when there's a much better movie out there that is completely identical. Don't see this movie, watch the original classic and thank me later.",2
"I really enjoyed this show. Visually the show is beautiful, so many of the film shots are pure art. There is this juxtaposition of visual complexity with the simplicity of the dialogue. Again with the complexity of technology and the characters acting on very human emotions and impulses.

As we sophisticate technology how do we get past our own human shortcomings? This show is striking, odd, complex, haunting and beautiful. It makes us think about the subjectivity of reality and what individual drives we have that create ours. This will be a show I rewatch again and again to pick up things I missed the first time.",8
"Let's be 100% honest. Venom isn't a good movie. It suffers from a bad script and a rushed plot, jamming as much detail into Venom's origin story as possible, but ultimately taking away from the power any one scene could have had. What Venom does have is star performances (Tom Hardy getting a Best Actor Nomination at the Golden Globes could definitely happen). Hardy, Michelle Williams, and Riz Ahmed are phenomenal on screen and they 100% make this movie into a really good, entertaining Bad Movie. It's worth watching. It's so bad that it's laughable, but it has some genuinely funny moments. The Eddie/Venom dynamic is fun to watch and again, brilliantly acted. But I wouldn't expect a sequel anytime soon.",4
"Since the movie plays in real time, the viewer is put directly into the story and feels like the third soldier.

At first, we accept Lance Corporal Tom as the lead character, since he has way more lines then William at the beginning. However, we get to understand that we need to switch to William. This rare in movies and brings a lot of depth and excitement.

The storyline is very simple and easy to follow. We don't question the actions seen on screen, because it is always very clear. This forbiddens the interpretation of the viewer to a certain degree.

The little dialogue helps us to perceive the environment and circumstances the characters are faceing. In return, we only know the main characters superficial which makes it hard to feel deeply connect to them.",8
"As someone who loves the books and the games, I really don't mind that some things are off in the show. Henry Cavill does a fantastic job capturing Geralt and I honestly find it a joy to watch.

People who are really obsessed with the lore and timelines may be put out by this show. On the other side of things, people who have never read the books might be confused at some parts.

Other than that, the show is awesome and I can't wait for season 3.",9
"I know that it can be challenging to act in front of a green screen but this performance was all about the CGI. There is little convincing in this movie. And I love fantasy, so it's not the magical stuff that bothers me. It's just the lack of that anything that happens actually matters. Like in the big seen where the city got ripped apart. I never felt any real panic in the crowd. How they list this film as horror or even thriller. There is nothing thrilling about this. This is uninspired and Hogwash.",1
"I can't say this movie is bad, but more can't say this movie is great. Fun and entertaining with the Reynold's style. What we will see is just a lucky, smart, limitless money, and super technology on the 6's side. But a super weak is the only thing I can see on the enemy's side.

After all, we can enjoy it as an entertainment show, or I can say a ""theme park"" genre movie.",6
"I only watched this because my wife likes action packed boring nonsense, I've read some of the reviews and the high ratings almost seem repetitive like maybe they are not real. People seem to love it or hate it which makes me wonder. I dislike all CGI action packed idiocy. Snappy unbelievable dialog really turns me off. I've always been a Tom Cruise fan which is why I'll reluctantly give it 2 stars. These types of movies always seem like a waste of talent. I just hope Cruise doesn't do so many of these silly movies that I won't be able to take him serious anymore. He's reaching that threshold.",2
"I tuned into this because the robot in the trailer looked awesome. Was not disappointed, ended up watching whole season in three days",8
"I watched all episodes back to back over a couple of days and it really hooked me. It's very well cast and the use of flashbacks to explain the present allow the audience to jump right into the drama from the first minutes of the first episode. The Robinson family are very likeable and whilst there are some problems they are working through emotionally they are always a team. I like the way the kids have been brought up to work through complex problems with logic and science. The special effects are great and the planet they are stranded on well thought out and beautifully epic. This drama has emotional depth, a decent script and some really lovely humour that is particular to the show and comes as a nice surprise.

In the stories and landscapes and adventures there are nods to Alien, Aliens, Avatar, Pitch Black, The Martian, Chappie, Contact, even the Jupiter ships are reminiscent of the Millennium Falcon in their shape and movement. The Robot is a fantastic and imaginative design and it's amazing how much character and emotion can be expressed by a being without recogniseable facial features. The relationship between the boy Will Robinson and the Robot is truly touching.

The villain of the piece going by the stolen identity of Dr Smith is played very well and really makes you dislike even the very sight of her - I found myself recoiling whenever she was in a scene.

There are a number of reviews here that state emphatically how bad they think the show is. This is total idiocy and those reviewers are guilty themselves of overly dramatic bad acting and shoddy dialogue. No show will please everyone but there is nothing bad in this show. Some people are frustrated as they find holes in the ""science"" but this is entertainment not a science lesson. Any show that seeks to interest its audience, especially children in the subject of science is a good positive thing in my opinion. It doesn't have to be the classroom, just the inspiration. Some people even complain about having a diverse cast and women/girls in strong roles as if to say the programme is annoying because it is trying to be PC??? Rubbish! It just picked great actors for great roles. Don't knock diversity - Life IS diverse.

Anyone that says they turned off after 5 mins, 20 mins etc. have no real love for the art of making TV shows and Film. You can't demand a show be according to your preconceived ideas or mood. You have to let it take you on a journey and I loved this journey. It is an excellent family orientated SCI-FI show and I can't wait for Season 2.",9
"I didn't get much from this, the acting was way over board and unrealistic. Kept looking to see how much time was left so it would end.",3
"A whole month of waiting, all these tensions built, all theses theories, Just not worth it at the end Just feel like a normal show. Nothing actually feels like Marvel Studio",6
This movie is not bad of all marvel movies. But This movie director should be little more strong and sharper.,7
"In the comedy/mystery movie ""Glass Onion,"" directed by Rian Johnson, a well-known detective is invited to a private island with friends to solve a mystery. The movie's plot took an exciting turn when Miles declared he would sacrifice his weekend for everyone to find a murder mystery case. The detective, Benoit, solves it immediately but learns it's more than a simple game. Death is one of them, and when it happens, it ceases to be a game and turns into a serious murder. The crew and the supporting characters were excellent and deserving of recognition for their work. The film was greatly enhanced by the production crew, who also added effects as necessary. Some well-known actors appeared in the movie, which turned out to be a comedy due to the actor's approach. When identifying the murderer, the story's narrative was thrilling and tense. One issue is that the narrative made it extremely clear who the killer was and why they committed the crime. They might have improved it by continuing to blame others, but they aren't the ones doing it. It might have been more believable and compelling. If you enjoy watching murder mystery movies with your favorite stars in them, you shouldn't miss this one. It's a film for everyone to watch and be entertained.",5
"Set between world wars, Amsterdam chases a trio of unlikely misfits who uncover a conspiracy to replace FDR with a fascist-friendly puppet. As the three sleuths are also old friends with a complicated history and unfinished personal business, we spend nearly as much time exploring their past as we do probing the contemporary plot. That's where the famously free-spirited capital city comes in. Having met in a Dutch military hospital during WWI, grown restless together and summarily escaped, they proceeded to paint the town red until responsibility drew them back home to America and life got in the way.

Given the wealth of potential flavor in the mix, it's downright shocking that this makes for such dull cinema. Secret Nazi societies, mentally-unhinged aristocrats and purveyors of postwar facial prosthetics? Speakeasies and sterilization clinics and posh, theatrical labor rallies? Christian Bale, Robert De Niro and Margot Robbie are here! Taylor Swift gets pushed under a bus! This thing is dying to be all loose and quirky and shocking, trying its hardest to mimic the Coen Brothers, but evidently it took the wrong notes and learned the wrong lessons from that filmography. Like peering through the window of a Ripley's Believe-it Or Not, then visiting a doctor's waiting room instead.",4
"That's yet another stylish new age time travel movie based on Robert Heinlein's 1958 short story ""All you zombies"". The movie is awarded with several Australian awards but tries to be too clever for it's own good. First of all, while the title of the short story actually makes sense in a clever way, the title of the movie is plain and stupid, as it reveals the plot of the film, which is largely based on the predestination time travel paradox. The big twist of the ending is easily foreseen and is moronic and disturbing (I'm keeping myself from revealing it right now so that you don't have to watch the film at all). I'm rating this film with C- only because it's (too) ambitious and well directed, easily watchable and cause I like Ethan Hawke's tendency to participate in B movies. It's fun to watch but disappointing in the end, so if you are picky with your films avoid it.",5
"You anticipate that Hollywood movies will exaggerate on true stories, but this is the opposite. It turns the real heroics and scale of Dunkirk into an irrelevant close-call for a handful of miserable men.

330,000 men were rescued at Dunkirk, but for some reason this movie shows, at most, 2000. Hundreds if not thousands of civilian boats streamed across the channel to save these men.. but the movie depicts 4 or 5.

Why? It's as if someone forgot to fill the numbers up with CGI.

Dunkirk is such a great premise for a movie - a great escape; heroic soldiers; heroic civilians.. But this film has nothing.. It is factually inaccurate with no redeeming qualities.

Everything has been desaturated, why? Maybe the director thinks it makes the movie look more authentic.. As we all know from TV documentaries, there was very little colour in the 40's. What a ridiculous trope to climb on. A vivid portrayal would bring the reality of the past into the present day.. This is what you want from a historical movie, isn't it????

The desaturation of the colour is mirrored in the characters, story and pacing. The movie is lifeless, dull, overrated rubbish.",3
"Text book genius like behavior associated with self destruction make the base of this Netflix original

All right, so the more movies or TV shows that you see, the more critical you'll become with their content, most likely you've already seen that idea implemented somewhere, the topic was explored a million times, the way the story is told is nothing new, and that's fine, but even with this present thee are still to this day, cinematic and TV material that comes out with brilliant and innovative ideas, and this is the magic of this art form. Now more specifically to the show, Queen's Gambit tells the story of Elizabeth Harmon (Anya Taylor-Joy), an orphaned girl who develops a way above average capacity, genius like ability, to play chess. We watch the evolution of her character, during some very important formative years of her personality, and how a brilliant mind can be as broken as well.

The show as a lot of positives, for starters it's incredibly well directed, from the accurate soundtrack on 1960s America to the hypnotizing camera work that helps us navigate through the environment and beautiful sets, it makes us engaged on the journey, specially when you can make a chess game (from a spectator who doesn't usually follow the game standpoint) interesting to watch. Anya Taylor-Joy also does a good job portraying this damaged individual who is constantly reminded that ""she is in the realm of men"" and that she won't stand much of chance against such experienced male players. From this perspective it was a good statement brought to the table and seems to play well with the chess theme.

However there are some things that threw me off and make me classify this series as a ""hyped"" one given the huge amount of positive feedback it is receiving. The plot brings nothing new, damaged genius have been depicted several times in cinema, specifically fictional ones like Sherlock Holmes and all the inspired characters that came from the classic - and depending on how you tell their story, it can dictate the quality of the show itself. This is where Queen Gambit fails from my perspective, she is indeed the classic damaged genius, and the way that the plot depicts her arrogance followed by a slap of humility and her raise, it's predictable, however more important than that (because if you tell a story in an original way this could be overlooked), the consequences of her self destructive habits are given almost no importance. By this I mean that somehow she can always recover fast from the drug abuse which seems to have little to none impact on her health overall as well as her judgement.

Another criticism for me is that although I praise bringing chess as a topic and give it more attention since it does have some science behind, we are given pretty much no knowledge in it if we think about it, they assume that the spectator should simply infer that it's indeed a difficult activity with all the theoretical rules and amount of books written about it, yet if you're not familiar with chess you just have to take their word for it - what does she do differently than the other amazing players that makes her so different? To finalize, I believe that some of supporting characters were underdeveloped and 2 dimensional. I do admit that overall it is engaging and fresh as well, but the hype clashes with the actual content I am afraid.",7
"Apart from the actors what was this movie all about??

No storyline,no sense and I was confused as to what it was all about Don't waste your time watching this instead go to the pub and have a few beers instead.",2
The only good actor and reason this movie is good is Chris Hemsworth. There was to much unrealistic action and over exaggerated acting (wonder where they got that from).,6
Acting and directing is amazing i think its better than first movie.,9
"The plot is childish and full of logical holes.

The end is like ""we are bored to write down a meaningful ending, lets do something quick and shallow"" The actors are OK ...except D. Graig. His character is something between the dump and the dumper, pee-wee and a boring Sherlock Holmes.

The plot holes are numerous, also the production didn't bother to study about the location, the country etc. We have a Greek island... so it's surrounded by salt water and sun, we're good to go. I can't give more details since I don't want to include spoilers in this review.

I wouldn't be surprised if they filmed it in a weekend.",3
"Ready Player One

People play online games so they can escape the callousness of this world and just cyberbully.

The troll in this sci-fi film, however, is actually the head of a tech conglomerate.

When the fan-boy creator of OASIS dies, he bequeaths jurisdiction of said online virtual reality world to the player that can locate three keys - or Easter eggs - hidden inside of his referential universe.

Accepting the challenge is an improvised gamer (Tye Sheridan) trying to escape his real world existence; a famed Easter egg hunter (Olivia Cooke); and a CEO (Ben Mendelsohn) looking to enslave OSAIS avatars.

Crammed with references to movies, video games and other pop-culture touchstones, this half live-action, half computer-animated production from director Steven Spielberg relies on nostalgia and eye-candy to keep viewers distracted from its toothless villain and predictable plot.

Moreover, who wants to rule a world that has so many character copyright and licensing agreements? Yellow Light

"I want to start by saying I hate rom coms. I typically find them boring and annoying and too pandering. This movie however is genius. It appeals to basically every type of humor and has an excellent plot and performances while actually delivering a good amount of real relatable humor that most people have experienced. The progression of Peter as a character and the interaction he has with the other characters is genius. I also don't want to seem biased but this is one of the only rom coms that shows perspectives from BOTH sides of a relationship but an emphasis on the man. If your homie just got broken up with, show him this movie immediately. I would consider this an essential watch for almost everyone and easily the best romantic comedy I have ever seen.",9
"This is so boring. I don't know what else to say. I never cared about Peggy Carter as a character in the first place. I certainly don't need to see her as ""Captain Carter"". The voice acting is really goofy, despite some big names (not Chris Evans sadly) and the animation is just meh.. It looks very computer generated which would be okay if I cares about the characters and the story. I think the creators over-estimated how much anyone cars about Peggy Carter. I was one of those that thought her story should have ended when she died off-screen in ""Captain America:Civil War"".

This is not good at all. Disappointed because I had this in my queue for awhile. I was totally prepared to enjoy it. After looking at what the other episodes are about I've determined I don't want to waste any more time on it. I would say it's okay for kids but it just might confuse them when they are ready for the actual movies.",4

"Adam Sandler is only a tiny bit more bearable than in Hubies Halloween or whatever it was called, but that doesn't mean he was good. I will admit, his character is AWFUL, and the script is so poor that a 5 year old could have written better, so he obviously couldn't be bothered trying to make anything out of it. Very wooden performance. Jennifer Aniston is no better, she massively over-acts her scenes to make them annoying. She's also too old for this sort of role, it just doesn't sit well. Am surprised these actors even bothered with this film, but they obviously thought it was great as they are also director and producer. As for they other actors, well I'm not even going to get started on their bad acting as I can't be bothered. The story is thin, nothing new, peppered with not-funny one liners and none of the characters are believable or even likeable. 3 stars for the locations and because I've seen worse films.",3

"Don't get me wrong the show has a great premise, but not the best execution. The first 2 episodes where competing, but after that it really only went downhill.

The characters where nice, and I won't complain of they appear again in the mcu, I just don't think the show went in the right direction.",6
"Great movie, right up to the end, then it was like they couldn't think of an ending. Do the deadbeat cop and the bitter crone just go around the country now, and clean up crime? Such a disappointing end. It ruined an otherwise good movie. Good story, good character development, awful ending. Was Woody Harrelson's character some kind of predator that married a child he'd groomed many years earlier? Why are his wives getting younger in movies as he gets older? It's like he and Kevin James are having a competition.",4
"This is a big debut, including with IT, by Stephen King, also starring Finn Wolfhard as one of the characters. Everyone plays their part fantastically, and it's a mysterious, spine-tingling story. Winona Ryder is such a great actress, and she really does suit the part of a nervous wreck, trying to get people to understand her. It's appropriate for kids above 13, but once you reach the age, you definitely have to watch this show. It makes you hang on edge for every episode, sitting at the edge of your seat, waiting to see what happens next. There's no fluff in here, only what could happen under a real circumstance like this. Watch this, and you'll be hooked.",9
"I haven't read the comic but I don't think it is possible that it is as badly written as this. The first chapter of the first season was great, with a great idea but by the end of it, it left me the feeling that they were going episode by episode, it started to not make sense. It was at least entertaining.

Then came season 2, it is so boring, full of filler scenes and every situation is resolved in the most stupid and lazy way. They are underestimating their audience. What a waist of time.",1
"Harry Potter has come a long way, from sunny Hogwarts, Butter Beer and Quidditch. Moving steadily and stealthily throughout the intervening years, from the light to darkness.

This seventh outing has been split into two parts, with the concluding part 2 released in July 2011. This is either because the story is too big to be compressed into one film, or perhaps more money can be made from two separate films, depending on your level of cynicism.

There is precious little sunshine in this episode, moving the franchise into ever murkier and complex themes, stretching the limits of scares, mild horror and peril, that the child friendly certificate will allow.

Following an excellent opening, we are left with Harry or multiple versions of Harry, attempting to flee from the enemies ranged against him. The importance of possessing ""True Blood"" is now consuming the wizarding world with random ""interviews"" and detainment at the whim of the persecutors.

There is a strong inference of an almost Third Reich like pursuit of anyone not conforming to the ideal and this truly takes the story into a disturbing underlying direction, if one chooses to look.

The action is centered on Harry, Hermione and Ron as they flee to desolate windswept moors, dense woods and rolling seascapes, searching for the elusive Horcruxes to destroy. Well loved and new characters appear briefly and just as effectively as before but it is the young wizards show in this episode. It seems strange to see the characters interacting with the real world in a mundane way, strolling down Shaftesbury avenue, ordering cappuccinos in a bedraggled café, something we have not seen before.

An ever more dangerous and ruthless Voldemort (Fiennes), continues to pursue Harry who is again aided by his friends Hermione and Ron, all actors returning to roles they have effectively grown up with in real life. The acting abilities of Ratcliffe, Watson & Grint has always been the franchises weakest link, especially when playing against a roll call of top flight English character actors. Grint has always fared best, largely playing a representation of himself, Watson has improved, leaving Ratcliffe trying hard but always appearing to act rather than just being, which is what screen acting is all about.

The production values are off the scale, Warner Brothers knows this film will make money and together with Director David Yates, have really pushed the boat out. The film is long but well paced and breaks up the action with differing film styles, shaky cam, flashbacks and a beautifully animated sequence where the Deathly Hallows tale is recounted.

The story is well known by all those who have read the books and again the film stays largely true to the source material. A standout scene being a visit to Harry's childhood home, which in the book lends itself to a cinematic outing and here it does not disappoint.

To enable infiltration into the Magical ministry the three characters swap with older employees and we are then treated to three different actors playing the parts of Ron, Harry and Hermione. This allows a sliver of humour which is a welcome relief as the plight of our heroes grows ever more dire. Bill Nighy, always a welcome addition to any cast list, also joins the ensemble as the Minister of Magic.

It is interesting to see the action straining the envelope of what is acceptable to a young audience that have grown up with the films. There are occasions where a slightly extended shot would have added more dramatic impact, rather than a cutaway to blood artfully splashed against the wall. This is not to say we want full on gore but noticeably the transformation at Godric's Hollow would have been more effective with just a few seconds more.

The extended death scene is perhaps a slight misstep, loaded with emotion for a character that some, may not regret passing on. To be fair, JK Rowling does not give the film makers much to work in this regard, as readers of the books will know. A slightly awkward dance scene, does end up as somewhat touching but does flirt perilously close to giggle territory.

Overall this is fun, exciting and scary in parts for younger children. Emotion was perhaps never the franchises strong point and this episode is no exception. However the tone, story and quality throughout the series has always been consistent and if this is anything to go by, we are in for a treat as the series completes.

This is very much a setup film for the final denouement and for those who do not know how this works, expect an abrupt end to this episode, ensuring your return in 2011.

Interestingly the film was to be released in 3D but the conversion process was halted as the target release date could not be met. Part 2 should be ready to be shown in the extra dimension if you prefer.

Summary A very effective thriller or almost ""horror lite"" in places, a film that can stand on it's own, with or without what has come before.

Let us hope, that similar to the Lord of the Rings, on which some of these themes are loosely based, we will enjoy an equally strong finish for part 2.

"Poorly told movie, none of the Batman essences is here, It looks more like a realistic, movie about terrorism where two completely insane lunatics in weird costumes battle for the security of so called Gotham City. To be honest with you all, I just liked the batman movies done by Burton and since than Hollywood made one trash after another. This one included. Batman begins was really awful, to turn the story into such a way where you actually destroy the true starting of batman and now a Batman who is supposed to fight against his own ego, is powerless. I mean it's quite good when a super heroe has his problems fighting the bad, but here I didn't see what he is fighting against. Only good thing, is very well done special effects avoiding all this CGI fx. And maybe Heath ledger has done well. But that doesn't make a good movie. And oh yes, who the hell is Harvey Dent? For Christ sake, making out of bad two face a good two face. They should have given me the script in the hands then people tell would tell me now this is a truly dark film. This one was poor, too much light, too shiny and to luxury to be the dark gotham like I know it from the first comic books. I almost fell asleep. Sad.",3
"Went to see a batman movie. I saw a batman movie. I have major difficulties to understand why so many people score it with 10/10 when the movie got so many flaws, but i assume is the hype around joker. A big LOL for the end of the movie, i was almost crying when laughing.

Why the stupid horny voice on batman? Why the retarded neon eyes on batman? Why no Gothic atmosphere? That was all the flavor from my point of view. Why batman was reduced to a complete moron when he was dressed up as a batman, and a very refined gent when he was at parties and stuff.

And so on.

Anyway, a nice Sunday movie, a bit too long for my taste but OK. A strong 6 from 10 from my point of view.",6
"A very inspiring and positive movie that touches your soul. The movie begins with the 1960 Rome Olympic 400m Race in which Milkha Singh was poised to win. Milkha gains the lead in the race and looks to win the first ever track Olympics gold for India. But as he approaches the second corner of the track, he hears certain set of words from his coach, and these words seem not to be just words for him - 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag'.

As you watch the rest of the movie you discover what was in those words that they haunted Milkha. The movie also showcases the spirit and dedication of this man and how he overcame his fears. The movie has an excellent background score that completely compliments the emotional connect the director of the movie expects the audience to have with the pain and suffering this great man.

The story of the Flying Sikh would have had acted as a catalyst that it further motivated Farhan to display exceptional dedication and perseverance for the role.",10
"I don't get how people can give this show high marks. I really really wanted to like it and have been waiting for its release quite eagerly, but it all is quite disappointing. The plot is shoddy at best, character depth is non existent, not to mention if you read the books nothing makes sense - warped time-lines and misinterpreted characters reign supreme. A very bad adaptation when all is said and done.",4
"I just can't help it. I'm a sucker for romance and I am touched so deeply to see the romance between Peter Parker and Mary Jane. I think it is one of the reasons why I seem to like the second Spiderman movie a bit more than the first. I actually believe that the second movie is a necessary continuation of the first one since the first one leaves the viewer hanging. Throughout the second movie, Peter Parker struggles to learn his destiny and how to create a balance in life, which is essential since the first movie ends without him being able to do this.

The acting is also excellent. Sometimes sequels aren't as successful as the first, but I can honestly say that this one was just as praiseworthy as the first. Now that I have heard that a third one is in the making, I have become very excited to see it.",9
"There is no point anyone can ever say they didn't like the movie. It is not only meant for the dog lovers but it makes you understand what true love actually means. The story is by far the best and the connection between the human and dog is shown. The selfless love of the dog changes the Life of a broken hearted guy. The music is also appropriate and very good. The movie is a must watch.

The characters are played very appropriately and the dogs are the best I must say. The act of Charlie is perhaps the best because the dog being so expressive and cheerful astonishes me. So definitely do give it a watch.",10
"OMG, how bad is this? 3/10 is a good rating for a movie like this one compared to a GOOD MOVIE!

Cant belive people like this. The whole thing lacked a strong story and any sort of narrative impetus. It really was very tedious, with same scene content played over and over again.

The styling was good as was some of the dance routines and doll movements from the cast but even this got tiresome.

The cast tried their best with the material, but to my mind Margot Robbie has done two duff movies in a row, this and Babylon. I am being to think she lacks good judgement and any acting heft.

In terms of other reviewers on here, they were watching a different movie and judging the vague thematic material as a plus because it looked out the power dynamic between men and women, forgetting the exploration undertaken in this movie was a historical perspective from the 1960's, when Barbie was invented and really had little application in 2023.

In summation it was style over substance, it lacked humour and story and indeed anything memorable. At best this is a 3 outta 10 for the dance sequences.",3
"Watched this after the release of Bhola. The original one is truly a masterpiece. Full of action, emotion, thriller. If I didn't watch the original then it would have been a total loss.

The characters were well written and you can feel the emotion of the characters. This movie is like a full action ride where you wait to know what will happen next and how they will manage to overcome the hurdles.

Hope this movie would have been released all over India. Didn't know about this gem before. Better late then never. Eagerly waiting for the sequel. The team did a great job. The actor was perfect for the role of Shiva.",10
"I just finished the tv-series... it was torture. The story is very good, interesting with few surprising twists and the actors are amazing, but the directing was unspeakable... BAD! I had to push myself to finish the show and to pray for the end of every episod.

The director had interesting storie and amazing actors and somehow he make the TV-show unexpectable boring. The most of the time I had to listened bunch of unimportant words and at the other to watch unnecessary added scenes... Maybe they were a pitiful try for a joke? I don't know I didn't laugh...

This TV-show is somehow phlegmatic, killed from emotions, humor and from action.

Let the patience be with every creature who wants to watch this TV-show!!",4
"For a movie I have been wanting for years and for two superheroes who have always been my favorite (Scarlet Witch and Doctor Strange), this movie seems like a joke. There were some very good parts where a more serious tone was shown but the rest of the movie felt like a complete parody of previous Marvel movies. From the laughable stupidity of the death scene to the absolute mess of a storyline with no real direction, with a sense that the writers just made things up as they went along. For such a serious threat - being the destruction of the multiple universes/realities, there was simply no urgency or seriousness. Each fight scene was mediocre at best, with usually powerful characters simply being KO'd after being tossed across the room.

With so much potential from the trailers and all the character development both from Wanda and Doctor Strange, what went wrong?",4
"The concept is great but the application lacks finesse. The only thing going for this show is the animation. Otherwise, each episode has its own story but they are poorly paced and the intrigues just seem out of place with very bad writing. Everything just feels rushed which hurts the quality of the product as a whole. One episode stood out though, that's episode 4 which was pretty well written.",1
"What a mess and such a missed opportunity. Should have been a celebration of African culture instead its just pudding! It's not the actors fault more the story, script and director. As I watched it, and I gave up, I just kept thinking there is something wrong about the feel of the movie. Might be worth a watch on a very wet evening when there is nothing better to do, but maybe no there are better ways to waist your time",4
"Seldom do I rate rate movies unless they are really good, or really bad. Most movies fall in the middle, and we all know which one those are, action for actions sake. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is not a middle of the road movie, it takes action, adventure, plot and characters to a level not seen since...well...the original Die Hard. This movie surpasses the original Cap, as well as the other Marvel/Avenger movie tie-ins by sheer momentum, character growth, and of course....plot! This is the movie all action movies have wanted to be since the debut of Die Hard in 1988. And I do believe it has surpassed even that. 9 out of 10 as the other Avengers were only mentioned and never seen, otherwise, sit back, relax, and enjoy one of the best action movies made in 26 years!",9
"It starts ut as an intruiging murder mystery. We have seen this many times before: a small US town with very odd and strange characters share a common tradgedy which raises a lot of suspicion and bad feelings in this small society. It feels like a good start. Still the characters are very boxy and stereotype with little depth and complexity. And the storyline is slso very simple with zero complexity or interesting twists. After the first episodes, which are quite promising after all, the show vanishes into a bizarre hole of supernatural horror story. The pacing is extremely slow and there is absolutely nothing in the story or build up of characters that justifies this slow pacing. After having seen all first season I felt cheated, having spent all these hours on this show. There are so many other good shows out there. Don't waste your time on this one.",4
"I don't know where to start with this film, it's got so much going for it and yet it comes across as dull and pointless, plus your brain will hurt after watching it.

The basic story/idea is interesting but it's told in such dull confusing way that you kinda don't care once you get to the end, in fact you feel a sense of relief because it's over ! Not what you want in a film really. It's a bit all or nothing aswell!

The time travel stuff is decent, I especially like the item used for the time travelling. Also love Ethan Hawke, he's a great actor and I enjoy watching him on screen (even if he stars in some odd films). Beautiful eyes too.",6
Luscious blend of martial arts and elemental powers. Deliciously smooth fight scenes and animations. A hero and plot comparable to a cartoonish layman version of The Matrix's with satiating stories and characters. One of the best animes ever made and it's made right here in USA. My own insignificant pet peeves about the show such as questionable and/or hypocritical actions done by certain characters(like Katara and the Southern Raiders or Toph leaving out the fact that her burns resulted from sneaking up on Zuko or Katara's habitual disrespect for other cultures traditions) prevent me from giving it a solid 9. 8.9/10 But the writers did do a great job a parodying themselves at the end of the series. It's a great series. Watch it!,9
"One episode in and this isn't the same as the other disney+ offerings.

I'm not very familiar with the Moon Knight Character so I'm very much enjoying the ride that is intended as we try to piece together with Steven what is going on.

And I think it works well.

I was slightly concerned about Oscar Issacs English accent from the trailer however by the end of the 1st episode I've got nothing but praise for him aswell as Ethan Hawke ( who may just become one of the best MCU baddies)

Although this is still very early I can't wait to see where this episode goes next it really does promise to be a great TV show.",8
"slow and drab...dancing was terrible in both technique and choreography. Only one tune was good and that played throughout the whole movie. On a positive note,it was a far more realistic portrayal which I liked compared to the usual American artificial stuff. But it was not a powerful awesome story that deserves such high rating...it reminded me of another Ryan Gosling movie that had awesome reviews, called Drive. It was so slow and the dialogue was so slow...I laughed during an emotional stare between the 2 in love as no words came out...perhaps this is a Ryan thing that he gets away with as he is kinda cute and lovable so you cannot help but like him...so my only conclusion is slow movies must be arty hence get the ratings. Whereas I like a movie to ""entertain me"" and this and La la land did not.",5
This is a great little show with some good acting and a compelling storyline with nice twists.,8
"Soulless junk. The first act promised a serious take on the nature of revenge but the movie quickly gave up on interesting thematic and became a senseless mess.

I didn't care for a single character, the action was a confusing mess and the new characters do not give me much hope in the future of these Marvel films. On the plus side, this may mean diminishing returns on future instalments in this ""cinematic universe"" which would be great news for original films that aren't getting screened theatrically from the many megaplex screens being eaten up by this cynical capitalist trash. But hey... maybe the kids like it?",2
"Only just started watching the show and the first few episodes were great then it started to die down a lot and get too political, slow and boring. There was a couple of laughs but I would hardly put it in the comedy genre but that's probably me being British as the yanks comedy is rather dull, slow and hardly amusing but this has always been the case. I'll try getting into season two but as others here have said the show gets worse. Oh dear.",3
"You feel no emotion from the voice actors,and they took out all the non realism and magic from the original.",3
"Impressive filmmaking from a technicaly standpoint. However, I think it's a problem when I'm SO AWARE of the filmmaking. Then it becomes a gimmick. And while some scenes worked well as one fluid, others really didn't and felt forced into that box because it was the decided upon convention.",5
"No new ideas, although everything was well executed. Would've been better without Annabelle, and just a focus on the 70s setting. Massive plot hole is that they'd keep all these haunted items in the same house as their daughter, and then leave her there with a baby sitter.",6
Series is very slow. It does not cover all aspects of series and keeps viewers guessing about secrets after end of series as well. Like what happens to other 36 babies who were born with 7 siblings? How father knew about apocalypse? Was father in robotics that he created Grace? What about Pogo? Who is he? No episode realted to father backflash. These all questions should have been answered within series..,6

The detail of the natural landscape is simply amazing,  But a bad story and poor clichés disrupt these eye-popping effects, creating an emotionless story where every stereo-typical flat character for these type of epics makes an appearance.

Our re-hashing of Pocohantas, begins by establishing that 99% of humans are evil and greedy (Im looking at you Corporate and Military guys) and that the indigenous Blue Cats are the good guys – un-willing to share an abundance of natural resources because they were here first! We are at the point both sides have drawn lines. Life on Middle Earth...I mean Pandora will be forever be changed because the evil humans are using the awesome Avatar technology to build bridges of peace (its never really explained why they just don't go in the masks) but the natives will believe our remote controlled puppets instead OK, I can accept that.

Avatar revisits the over done Technology vs Nature themes, sticks in a 911 reference for good measure, takes a run at the Advanced vs Primitive argument and teaches us a lesson in morality (not a good one, mind you). We are to embrace this anti-hero. the one directly responsible for escalating tensions because it takes him 3 months to bring up the touchy subject while using his puppet to enjoy Pandora's tourist spots, court the hot princess and make a little human currency on the side – its a paid gig! A hero who causes both humans and Blue Cat People to be mass murdered because he likes his new form better than his old one.  Way to go, double-genocide!  

   But the natives are wise (we are reminded repeatedly) , they are one with nature!  Military humans are merciless and need to blow things up!  Both sides are ruthless, peaceful settlement cannot be reached. Its impossible! Thus let the slaughtering begin.  I was not sympathetic with neither,  none sought compromise,  no olive branches.  Only arrows and bullets.  But the Cat people are better then humans, they  will forgive you if you can wrangle a bigger dragon In the end, the humans are banished, forever cutting off a natural resource that is established to be crucial to human existence. Nice going! Our hero dooms us all to extinction, except allow a few humans to remain to serve his own greedy purposes.",3
"In no terms this movie is a sports drama. Its a best human drama film made in India. It is deep and thought provoking film. Having said that, it is entertaining throughout. This film is an Indian version of Parasite (Oscar winning film). In fact in one scene you will see slums and rich society being seperated by just a wall. It reminds us the scenes of Parasite.

If you understand what Nagraj Manjule (Director) is trying to tell you in the film then you will know why Jhund is the best film made in India.

In one scene a character says, ""Bharat means?"" and in next scene when that same character shakes hand with a higher class coach (Citizen of India), the audiance itself gets the answer to the question asked by the character in the earlier scene.

There is one scene in which Nagraj explores about blind faith, which is truely remarkable & an eye opener.

There is one track which runs around getting a passport for a character which is living in rural India. It shows you the truth reality that a citizen living in rural India has to struggle to prove the society about his/her existance and India being is his/her country. It also enhances the point that is mentioned in the lyrics of the title track ""Hum Ko Duniya Ne, Roj Dekha Hai, Fir Bhi Andekha Jhund Hai"". At the end of a scene, a camera slowly points to a poster depicting 'Digital India', which indeed explains the point even further by just one scene.

The film also signifies that Intoxication is not just limited to Alcohol or cigerates but there can be intoxication of Caste, Money and Gender Superiority. But we as humans have only visibility towards Intoxication of Alcohols and we neglect the other intoxications like Caste, Money and Gender.

The climax of the film is one of the most powerful scene in bollywood mainstream cinema. It is an emotional scene and gives you hope. It signifies that even when you are crossing the wall that the society has created, a support is required. It itterates the crab theory that when one crab is trying to get out of the basket other crabs in the basket try to pull his leg and makes his attempt fail. But here the director shows the other side of the story, rather than pulling the legs of others if we give them helping hand, it might change thier lives.

Just after this scene a airplane is seen departing from the airport, post the departure, a camera points to the words written on the wall of the airport ""Caution! Crossing thw wall is strictly prohibited"". Just brilliant!!!

Casting by Bhushan Manjule is absolutely spot-on. All the actors have been magnificant. Amitabh Bachann is fantastic as Mr Vijay but the real show stealers are the kids who do not have acting background. All these kids are the real slum kids which makes the film more authentic. Special mention to Ankush (Character name Don), Babu Kshatriya(Character name Babu) and Karthik Uikey.

Music by Ajay Atul is Fantastic as usual and brilliantly suits the film. Background Score by Saket Kanetkar is absolutely top-notch. Cinematography by Sudhakar is another plus point of the film.

A brillant debut by Nagraj Manjule into bollywood and he keeps his standards very high as previous. With just 3 films (Fandary, Sairat and now Jhund), Nagraj is one of the best Indian Director of current times.

Kuddos to the entire team of Jhund and especially for the producers to invest in a film which is not a typical masala bolywood film. This film is a right foot by bollywood moving forward.",9
"I don't know where the hype came from. Adam Sandler plays the frantic role well, and the chaos is executed with precision, but the storyline get's boring rapidly, constant shouting and abrasion with sub-plots that were just time wasters. This film doesn't stand out to me at all. Don't follow the hype.",2
I respect every gender opinions but over and over Over and over guys kissing you should have stopped making this scenes!,5
"It is rare I enjoy a sequel, let alone more than the first movie - and I LOVED Knives Out 1. This movie had the same witty humor and kept the whole theater packed and laughing on Thanksgiving day. The acting was amazing, especially for someone picky like me. The plot was mysterious and kept me guessing endlessly, when normally I'm the one predicting what's to come. Everytime I thought I was onto them, they fooled me once again. LeBlanc returns better than ever, and remains just as entertaining and likable theoughout the second film. Amazing build, amazing reveal, and ultra satisfying revenge-filled ending.",10
"Don't get me wrong, Sherlock is well written and well acted.

But, does it deserve all the hype? In an age where TV has never been better the temptation is to class everything as a 'modern classic' and for me that is where Sherlock has been placed.

I think the original novels and short stories give a much better take on the character and although the creative team have gone to great lengths to modernise the stories, sometimes things are best left alone.

I can't say I care for Cumberbatch's performance as the lead either and feel that he is often upstaged by the always excellent Martin Freeman.

The BBC will milk this for all its worth and the legions of fans will lap it up. Best of luck to them.",2
Watching each episode is so Exhilarating. Each character draws you into their story but not forgetting the lead roles. Leaves you wanting more.,10
"Bad casting and boring story line, the little bit of plot it has is badly written. They try to cover the lack of storyline with exagerated violent scenes. Like the first jousting match, done way over the top with blood and gore for a sporting event. What makes it worse is the lack of likable characters like the Starks and Tyrion Lannister. Or characters you love to hate like Cersei Lannister. They are all pretty much two dimensional. I wish they spen more of thier special effects budget on hiring better writers. I though after watching the first episode it just starting slow, but after a few episodes of fighting to stay awake. It is just a attempt to cash in on GOT.",1
"At what point does a film become too complicated for its own good? In the case of Inception, almost immediately: in a bid to make the ultimate 'mind-f**k' movie, writer/director Christopher Nolan starts his film at 'bloody confusing' and, over the course of 148 excruciatingly drawn-out minutes, works his way up to 'completely and utterly unfathomable' before leaving the film on a predictably ambiguous note (thus allowing endless discussion on movie forums).

Along the way, Nolan introduces many an intriguing idea, but the ones that haven't been nicked from far better movies (eXistenZ, Vanilla Sky, The Matrix, Dark City, Cypher) are so half-baked that the film inevitably becomes a frustrating mess of contradiction and contrivance which conjures up an endless stream of questions (see IMDb's FAQs), none of which seem to have any satisfying answers (despite the best efforts of Nolan's rabid fan-boys).

Lost in Inception's labyrinthine plot, all I could do was sit back and marvel at the special effects—which are undeniably impressive—whilst asking myself repeatedly how Ariadne (Ellen Page) became such a great architect despite no actual work experience, and whether such a pretty young woman would really be happy to be sedated in a grubby warehouse by a group of suspicious looking strangers. Somehow, I doubt it.

5 out of 10 for its jaw-dropping effects (in particular, the awesome gravity-defying fight scene), and I reckon that's being generous.",5
"I just had to take a minute and comment on this film. I think it was shockingly bad. I really like Tarantino's other films/True Romance is a masterpiece. then he goes and makes this disjointed piece of crap? I guess people get bored telling a good, simple story like. Uma Thurman stole every scene she was in. John Travolta was revolting and I was embarrassed for him trying so hard to act so cool throughout this thing. give me a break!! the whole thing with the rape defines gratuitous violence for the sake of what? trying to prove how tough someone can be? yeah, OK. the whole movie had this trying-desperately-hard-to-be-ultra-cool. all I can say is this film is OVERKILL in a big way. some scenes are OK but most of it should have been scraped. that people like this film as much as they do is a sad commentary on good film making and what people now a days will call brilliant. it's all a.d.d./mtv-pandering to those with the attention span of a gnat.",3
Pirates is potentially a terrible film rescued solely by the talented cast and crew. The plot is as lame as a wooden legged sailor. The directorial kiss of life is apparent right from the entrance of (not so) Able Seaman Depp with a beautifully crafted and acted introduction to the Keith Richards inspired pirate. As is so oft the case from Hollywood a simply shocking plot never stands in the way of the lure of gold. The pirates in this case are the accountants of tinsel town. Geoffrey Rush hams it up in equal measure with Mr Depp and must wonder whether his digital skeletal pirate is as transparent as the plot. Laughing all the way to the bank is the phrase that springs to mind. Enjoy at your leisure but expect to have sacrificed a few brain cells by the time the credits appear.,5
The original movie with Michael Keaton was far better and doesn't take itself so seriously. Bale needs to lighten up.,6
"Very poor interaction between the actors, very you talk I talk with uncomfortable interruptions that just screams amateur hour.

The policewoman is cringey and over melodramatic from the start, which is just not true of what an officer would be like in real life, they wouldn't make it seem so apocalyptic.",2
"The best thing about this movie is it shows which critics are in the pockets of the movie studio, or that are so totally out of touch with reality that their opinion is irrelevant to the mainstream movie watcher.

I was being kind with the 3/10, I paused it twice to go and do something more interesting... like cleaning the oven.",3
Tamil Best ever Crime thriller...gripping screenplay.. Engaged story...psycho villain tremendous performance& Vishnu vishal super acting...Ramkumar vera level whole crews hatsoff😘😘😘,10
"I'm not one to nitpick on acting, except in egregious situations, but I think this is one of them worthy of that critique. The first half of the series is poorly acted (the writing doesn't help) and is just wholly uninteresting when it looks like a teen drama. Mare's daughter is full of the most boring and pointless plot line for the full series run.

The latter half of the series is much better as it becomes a more 'adult' criminal investigation but really drags it out when the surprise is not all that shocking for anyone who has seen a lot of this content, so they have to throw in multiple twists on the way to get there. Once again, there is significant overacting in the finale. And I didn't find it to be a very fulfilling conclusion. Really thought this economically depressed small-town setting would have been a great premise for this show, but it lacked execution.

Personally, I thought ""Defending Jacob"" was a much better produced crime investigation miniseries in 2021, exploring similar concepts while keeping you on edge longer and testing the values of truth, justice, family/friends and loyalty.",7
"Positives first. Seth Rogen is nice addition to the voice cast and is actually very funny with the way he delivers his lines, especially paired with Billy Eichner's Timmone. Visually speaking a lot effort was clearly put into this film by visual effects artists that deserve a lot of credit. However, the visual effects are also to the movies detriment, which i will get into. moving away from positives lets say that there is no soul to this film. To talk about this movie i will compare it to the original because after all it is a re-make. I see it to be completely fair to hold it to the high standard previously set by the 1994 Classic. Most notably about this re-make is the new visuals that look great, but hinder the movie completely. Because of the life like animal effects no emotion is felt in any of the characters faces. In fact they come across as soulless for the entire run-time. So we as the audience rely heavily on the voice cast to carry emotions, which they do not do very well. Donald Glover is actually the weakest link in this movie with no feeling at all in his performance, same goes for Beyonce. Which is truly a shame as they are incredibly talented individuals, Another issue to find with this film is how dull and boring the musical numbers now look. ""Be prepared is not only shortened in length but is just Scar climbing a rock. ""I just can't wait to be king"" is just a lot of animals running through a large puddle. gone are the vibrant colours and visuals of the first movie, there was no heart in these musical sequences. The fantastical,animation from 1994 is completely lost and not replaced with anything worth while or fun. In fact there is nothing fun with this new 2019 re-make. There is no real passion to be felt behind this film, there is no feeling that Jon Favreau (who i personally think is wonderfully talented) wanted to make Lion King movie. This film exists purely to make money, which it has so we shall be treated to more wonderfully dull Disney re-makes. If i could sum up this film i would describe it as a time vampire. Overall if you want to watch a fun film about musical Lions watch Lion King 1994 or why not even Lion King 2: Simba's Pride.",3
"I am not sure why this movie is praised so highly, I love war history and of course war films but this certainly wasn't up there with the best of them, in fact it wasn't even close.

The main issue I have with this movie is the scale that was presented in the film, it just didn't do Dunkirk any justice which in reality was a massive undertaking, here in the film the beach is rather bare, the ships minimal and the evacuation as a whole quite small compared to what really took place, with such a budget they couldn't squeeze in some CGI to make this believable?

Secondly the character development is essentially non existent, you don't really care for anyone because the film doesn't endear them to you the viewer, also there is nothing shown of the heroic effort of the rear guard at Dunkirk leaving out such an important part feels plain wrong.

Lastly how did a Spitfire with no fuel manage to not only continue flying but engage and defeat enemy aircraft? Like who was their advisor on this some random off the street?

Overall it's watchable, what effects were used were done well, the cinematography was good, the costumes were fine etc but as stated above it just missed the mark on so many crucial things that I cannot consider it a good war movie, average at best.",5
A movie that Bollywood has long time waiting. Based on the true events. This is our answer to Hurt locker. Must watch for all Indians and lessons to learn for other director and big actors.,9
"Boring. People boarding boats and drowning for 106 min. On top of that the sound is awful and irritating. I don't know what Nolan did but the movie is too loud and the effects sound totally fake. There is no character development, it is just the beach, boats and the sea. Very disappointed.",2
"A brilliant movie. A masterpiece. No words to explain the movie. Marvellous story, screenplay, direction and acting.

This clearly shows that bollywood movies are a big zero compared to movies like this.",10
"In ""6 Underground"", the action keeps on coming but the lack of story with an unmotivated cast makes for yet another Michael Bay disaster. . In this action film, after faking his death, a tech billionaire recruits a team to take down a brutal dictator. . Running over two hours, this action disaster proves Michael Bay still isn't done with explosions, over the top action, thinly written characters and zero plot. Anyone who enjoys ""6 Underground"" should seriously question what they think is ""good"" in their life. I also hate the fact that Ryan Reynolds is pretty much playing Deadpool in his role. He's capable of doing so much more as an actor. The action took my mind off the story but in the end it's a complete waste. .",1
"This film was supposed to be the masterful triumph to prove him once again after some buffoonish kind of film in recent times.. And what a bounceback by Shahrukh Khan... Fan not only restored my faith in The SRK's acting prowess, but also made me think that his superstardom is nowhere to go despite some doldrums... This film was never meant to be a perfect Masala potboiler.So earning money in the Box Office is never a concern...coz a lot of crap films like Prem Ratan Dhan Payo,Happy New Year etc are not only earning money but also considered a blockbuster in Bollywood.. What a shame..It seems we Indian's haven't evolved since the inception of Mumbai cinema.. I must reckon the fact that most of the coveted 100 crore films are nothing but a piece of trash.. Of course without few exceptions...

Now let's talk about the possibility of winning hearts by Shahrukh via his latest gem 'FAN'...He is just not a superstar, he is truly a national icon..So he doesn't need to prove his acting prowess at this point.. Still FAN is going to return his 'a bit diminished glory' into a spectacular manner for sure... I don't think that I need to review this piece of magnificent delight.. Go watch in the nearby theatres... Note: (Fan and 'Non-Fan'of SRK will be agreed by my point aforesaid until they watch this summer thriller.)",8
"OMG, 10/10? Are you serious people? There is nothing original here, just another zombie movie with the same cliche story. If you know games its based on then there is no tension, no drama, no mystery to discover. To be honest watching this show is like watching somebody else playing the last of us on PS after you finished it yourself for the 2nd time. The visuals are mediocre imo with some fake effects and Im fed up with overused trashy shaky camera. Acting and cast is passable but I found zero connection with any of the characters. Highly criticized The Rings of Power is much better and more entertaining show imo.",6
"Best movie by far as compared to any other Indian Movies , No awkward scenes ,Everything fits so perfectly that you stop feeling that it is movie .The character makes you alive. Farhan Akhtar's acting is up there .This movie will take Indian cinema to new heights.

Must watch for young people .Ispiring without being unhealthy or boring. The movie challenges you ,Farhan Akhtar is a purist and the movie will have long lasting effect on people .

I have seen another movie after Bhag Milkha Bhag and it felt like the other movie was the work of a parasite. The other movie was Fer Mamla Gadbad Gadbad. I wanted to leave the cinema after first 10 mins.

Must watch .",10
"Martin McDonagh is an exceptional writer - I will never forget seeing ""Beauty Queen of Leenane"" on Broadway many years ago. So it is not surprising that this film has some compelling characters and scenes to go along with its intriguing premise. However, it is surprising how RIDICULOUS everything else seems to be. As Wesley Morris pointed out in the NYT a while back, there's nothing ""real"" about Ebbing. At all. It is an ultra-unrealistic blend of Hollywood's many non-existent US small towns. And the cast of characters being drawn together there makes zero sense. Just like the wardrobe and the inexplicable choices and the way the characters talk to each other. Basically, it is kind of a mess. the cartoonish nature of it all makes caring pretty tough, despite some great performances. There's a lot of promise here (and even some comedy), but very little of it pays off.",4
"'Le Mans '66 (2019)', known simply as 'Ford V Ferrari' in America, is a sports biopic that aims to tell the story of the two men who forged Ford's first racing car. While it initially seems as though it's going to get lost in the corporate politics of car manufacturing, it soon becomes clear that it's far more concerned with its two leads and their strained-but-loving dynamic. By doing this, it skirts the usual biopic issue of cramming a hundred-and-one life events into a two-hour run-time whether they're really relevant or not. Basically, it crafts a compelling narrative from its 'real life' story, adapting things in a very satisfying way. The lead performances are up there with the best of the year, a chalk-and-cheese duo who light up the screen whenever they're on it. Bale, especially, is fantastic, sporting an accent and a slimmer frame in his typical chameleon way. Another star is director Mangold, whose assured direction makes for an engaging experience both on and off the race-track. The racing scenes are the thing's highlight, though; they're fast, suspenseful and technically sound. The piece manages to get you invested in the inner workings of such driving, and such cars, even if you've never given it a thought before. This allows everyone to be on the same page for the stunning finale, which is certainly an edge-or-your-seat sequence. The affair makes a point to take a step back now and again, slowing down for often overlooked character moments and rumination on the hidden beauty of racing. Indeed, it feels like a car fan's dream, dipping into the intricacies of bespoke car manufacturing while featuring a bevy of sleek vehicles, to boot. It isn't exclusively for this crowd, however. The story is resonant and the characters are well-rounded. It is a bit straight white male centric, having only one female character and relegating any people of colour to background roles. It feels old-fashioned in that sense, like a film from the period in which it's set. While better representation would be appreciated, its absence doesn't feel like a product of malice so much as an attempt to convey some sort of 'period realism'. Its plot does feel rather 'us v them', primarily because it associates Ford with America and Ferrari with Italy. Ford, the man, even seems to have a racial motivation, although this could be an unintended result of an early xenophobic comment. Really, though, the decision to position a massive corporation as an underdog is simply to fuel better drama. Still, these are pretty much the picture's only major flaws. It's a good movie that fans of its focal sport should get even more out of than I do. 7/10",7
Saw this and did t think it was as good as everyone is ranting about. Its pretty much just a bunch of jewish people screaming and yelling about money. adam sandler was good in it acting wise. The ending was ver poor imo.,5
"I really am dumbfounded as to why so many ""official"" reviews are exceptionally glowing of this movie. It's almost as if reviewers are scared, for some reason, to admit that the movie is mediocre at best. It's almost as though identity politics have struck fear into the hearts of the reviewers.

Lucky for you though, I have no such fear in my heart. This movie was rubbish. Okay, it wasn't rubbish, but it wasn't far from being rubbish. The story was boring and I found the politically motivated comments about ""whites"" to be cringe-worthy.

I gave this movie a 3 because I'm smarter than most (no offence) and didn't like much about it, but, if I were your average dolt, I would say that a 6/10 would have been a more appropriate score.",3

"I liked the first one and was expecting some good sequel when I heard about Carnage but the movie was a little bit letdown. Movie took too much time to settle up and the final fight with carnage could have been more better.

"The casting of this movie was all-around excellent but Tobey Maguire really makes this movie. He's the best Peter Parker anyone could hope to get.

Back problems or no I hope he's in the third movie as well. He has a great mix of geekiness and studliness. He looked much the worse for wear in this movie but I'm sure that that was the intent what with Peter's life going down the crapper and all.

Before I ever saw the first movie I was horrified at the idea of Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane but was very happily surprised at her performance. The second one has me doubting how to feel. She was just looking too skinny and rough round the edges to be the goddess of womanliness I remember from the comics.",9

Jonah hill was a waste of time in that movie, the other characters I have no damn clue what their soul purpose was in the film, movie lacks substance, its fabricated truth, I just don't get why I got sucked into watching it... this movie should be called ""DiCaprio"" cause he's the only reason why this movie was worth watching...

"I left Dunkirk feeling an unusual sense of sadness. There is, at least for me, a tendency to become very desensitised to war films after you watch so many and yet Dunkirk has knocked me out of the park with it's magnificent beach-bound atmosphere. Every bullet is real and threatening, the sound of metal on metal as they hit various materials is a shock without fail. A plane flying overhead is a death machine swooping down to take you away. Dunkirk is a portrait of fear and goodness me is it hard to look away.

See this on a big screen with the best sound near you, relax as best you can and let Nolan's masterpiece take you back in time to a moment of mankind's brutality that should never be forgotten.",7
"This movie is boring at best. Sure it has some nice CGI effects in it but the ""story"" is pretty much non-existent in this flick. I can't wrap my head around the fact that so many people accept this junk as a triple-A title. The CGI-scenery, the light, the camera etc are all nice and well done but this is definitely not a good space movie. It lacks depth, the characters never develop good enough for the viewer to sympathize with them, in the contrary: they seem to actively keep trying to annoy the viewer. This goes especially for Sandra Bullock, who without a doubt is one of the worst actresses in AAA movies today (in my humble opinion). Some additional acting classes wouldn't hurt. All she seems to do in movies is heavy breathing - you might as well watch pornographic videos with the audio of this movie. And even then you won't be able to enjoy it because she can't deliver any credibility - it just seems fake and unprofessional. What that woman is doing in space is beyond credible. That does _not_ mean that George Clooney _does_ deliver though. His character lacks just as much development in the movie, all he does is talk calmly to counter the stress that Sandra is generating. I love you Sandra as a person, but you should have turned down this one. It does not help your career to be in such a mindless movie no matter how well funded it is.

But (and this is a huge _but_), in the actors defense, it all comes down to the writers. Writers seem to lack the ability to come up with something better than this nowadays. Which is very sad because it means they have been losing their creativity. If you want to see a better movie about space you're better off watching ""Mission to Mars"", which is not ""great"" either but definitely much better. The director definitely did not have a vision with this one either. He seems to focus more on CGI rather than character development. What can I say - with that equipment and funding they all could've done a better job.

What a waste of time, money and effort. Sorry, but this one is a big fat fail.",2

Spider-man: No Way Home has no ties or relevance to this movie. Dr Stranges action in No Way Home are not relevant to this movie. It is not a continuation.

"Then Interstellar won't be anything new to you. Heck, even if you have watched ANY scifi before, Interstellar wont be anything new to you.

I was for a long time told how this movie is groundbreaking, something legendary, something instantly classic... When Interstellar finally arrived to Netflix, I was pumped to see what all the fuss was about. oh, the disappointment.

As astronomy and scifi enthusiast, Interstellar brings nothing new to the table. It's like average Doctor Who episode that outstayed its welcome with scenes that took way too long.

Whole movie is so incredibly corny! so dumb! it was clearly made for those who have never watched scifi before, it was clearly meant to inspire people into astronomy, but is this the right way to inspire people into something? to make it as cheesy and corny of an adventure as possible? ... One person even said it was ""life changing"" to them... Now I just feel sorry for them, if this truly was enough to change their lives....

Even if I wasn't hyped to high heavens about this movie, I wouldn't give it higher than 3/10. Interstellar brings nothing never seen before to the scifi scene.",1

"Way over the topy. Even when framed as pure escapist fiction, there's too many unlikely scenarios we're expected to believe.

The main character somehow survives all those bullets, and dozens of bad guy clones.

I avoided this 2014 movie until now (2019), and now I know why I didn't bother before. I knew it would be one of those movies where implausible action is ramped up to 11.

The one thing I'll give it, is the photography. Very cinematic style. You keep watching to see what happens, but it's unsatisfying garbage, like a mediocre video game. I prefer more realism, even in brain-dead action revenge movies.

Season 1 was better than Season 2 mostly because the second season seamed a bit prolonged and not much was happening until towards the end of the season. Overall, it is good, original and a good watch but could be better.",8
"Basically, a bad movie that was a waste of time on everyone's part. The visual effects were one of the few strengths. Whatever strengths exist, they're not enough to justify the money spent in movie making and not worth the price of a ticket. The only reason I didn't leave mid movie is my wife fell asleep and I didn't want to wake her. Mr. Cumberbash with an American accent demonstrates his abilities but why? That would be like having Tilda Swinton with a cue ball. Oh wait ... Even Stan Lee's cameo was a question mark. As I proceed with this, it's just to fill the required number of lines in the review. How many different ways can one state that this was a bad movie and all this a waste of time?",2
"One of the most outstanding elements of ""Fantastic Beasts"" is its originality and difference from the other HP movies, breathing fresh air into the Harry Potter movies. This movie also manages to, unlike most present-day blockbusters, stand on its own without relying on the other movies. Other than that, the movie offers amazing visual effects, a well written script by JK Rowling, superb acting by everyone and great characters. There are some thing some might not like, like a climax that resembles big blockbuster battles and a plot-twist that might ruin some things. But, in the end,""Fantastic Beasts"" has us sold for the next movies without any foreshadowing.",7
Yep. Sorry guys. Simply put - it just didn't stay good. Got to be like watching paint dry. This was the first week we didn't bother with the new one. Watched The Thing>Psycho>The Great Escape instead. Pleased with my choices. But freal y'all. Next time don't front load the show with a buncha cool stuff and then just abandon in to the cornfield after 2 weeks. That's in poor taste.,5
"Production Value is excellent,(on par with International TV series).

The finale (where the magic happens..) was the best episode in the series.

the Acting is Outstanding.

Kudos To Amit Golani,Biswapati Sarkar,Actors And Vaibhav Bundhoo.

Also Jeetu Faadi.

Ab Aur kya likhu. yeh log review sumbit hi nhi karne de rhe.

3. TVF- The hype surrounding TVF and their TV shows (a highly recommended ""Permanent Roommates"" included) is completely justified. Just like the character ""Naveen Bansal"" says about being fearless as a kid, TVF is just that even now and we as audiences benefit from that.

4. Entertainment- It is very easy to get preachy while dealing with subjects such as entrepreneurship (and end up being documentary like in tone) but TVF is true to its promise of delivering quality entertainment that is laced with acidic yet witty commentary about the malaise and issues surrounding entrepreneurship.",10
"Season 1 is a 9/10, fantastic characters and mystery that keeps the viewer engaged for it's 8 episode runtime. Not high art or anything but it's really really well made. Sadly the shows biggest downfall is it's own popularity. Since the show was so popular the later seasons are really concerned with pleasing the fans which leads to some hit or miss moments. That dosen't mean that the later seasons suck because they don't but it is not as good as the first.",8
They have to be trolling us? This is garbage. I made good food to watch this. I want my 55 min back!,1
"Looks like the makers of this film did little to no research on historical facts. Nothing historically interesting was presented. Only the ""love"" between Jodha and Akbar is focused upon, obviously because lazy bollywood film makers are incapable of showing anything other historical aspects.",1
"How could I have wasted two hours of my life seeing such paranoia? For me, the only good thing in this movie is photography and interpretation, the rest says nothing. The first 40 minutes are soporific and from there on there is nothing but madness. A madness that does not make you think of anything.",2
"Despite its flaws, I admired this film for its willingness to fully commit to its slow, icy, audience-unfriendly tone. So many films produced by major studios these days put the audience before the art. They're afraid to challenge, opting instead to placate. No, I wouldn't call Red Sparrow art with a capital ""A"". It's a glossy exploitation film in many ways, and I found it a bit too convoluted at times. But at least it takes itself seriously, has a vision, and ""goes for it"", if you will. The result is somewhat middling, but its best sequences are satisfyingly tense and I enjoyed its steely, detached vibe.

3.5/5",7
Wonderful movie with great cinematography. Builds the suspense beautifully. Keeps you engaged throughout. There might be sone trivial mistakes but that are in any movie. A must watch underdog movie. The bollywood remake is poop. But this is a movie that deserves much more appreciation. The acting is intense and the villian is dreadful. All aspects have been paid attention to in this movie. It is not run of the mill movie. The background music compliments well. The shots are well thought of. It is full of twists and will keep you hooked till the end for sure. Watch it for sure. A masterpiece. Thanks.,10
"I watched Season One over a short period of time and I thought it was pretty good.

I have only watched one episode of season 2 so far. It reminded me of what I don't like about this series. There is too much constant life or death action happening. That gets old. There needs to be a balance.

I am not sure I will continue to watch season 2. I will try and give it a chance.",7
"Season 1 deserved all the hype. Amazing.

Season 2 was ok.

Season 3: don't bother",5
I've also seen the disappointingly poor biography of Stephen Hawking and this biography is much better.,5
I like this type of movie but would have liked it a lot more if I didn't have to keep turning the volume up and down because the music is louder the talking. Maybe it works in a theater but for watching it at home volume could be balanced out considerably more. I'm writing this as I watch it. I've gotten to the point where they arrived at Nidavellir and I thats where I had to stop watching.,3
"I am enjoying it so far but it seems really slow and not much has happened. There's so many great larger than life characters in the original series, telling multiple interesting stories and you get to know them all pretty quick. I can barely remember more than four characters in this so far. Daemon Targaryen is the only interesting one so far, everyone else is a bit dry and just a bit boring and not very interesting. Maybe it's just a slow start as I'm only 4 episodes in but I'm already starting to get bored. I've been binging the original GOT the past few days and people who say it's just as good, I think we must be watching two different things! There is great potential though for this to be an awesome show and I really do hope it gets a lot more interesting! It has not gripped me yet though as the original series did within the first couple of episodes. As of yet, I don't think it's comparable to GOT, not enough interesting characters and storylines. I hope I'm wrong!",6
"I like the characters, the story is interesting. Scenes can be a little bit harsh and violent at times, which can surprise you. Interestingly, there is some politics mixed in, as these superheroes are quite involved in those aspects of society. Overall I enjoyed watching this one, though for me Umbrella Academy is a step up.",8
"I wonder what people would really say about this film if they were asked without seeing anyone else's ratings or scores? Over hyped and people seemingly just keen to show they 'get it' to look cool. Weak storyline, unnecessary childish gags (something up a rear end, using adult toys as weapons, hotdogs fingers etc.). I like the mutiverse concept, and a story about a mum and daughter, but this was just arty fatty nonsense to me. Makes me wonder if shock and randomness are all you need for an Oscar. I think the people who like this, are the same people who paid $150,000 for those bananas taped to the wall because someone said it was Art.",2
"Who's-done-it movies usually have big names, thats one of their appeal, next to an interesting story line. Unfurtunately most of the actors here are b-actors with no charisma. You don't really care about any of them. All of them are awful human beings, loud and toxic. The script is thin and the performances just mediocre. It becomes clear who the vilain is from the beginning, thats proof the story hasnt been executed correctly. Daniel should drop that annoying accent. Its not funny nor querky, he is no Peter Ustinov. Also, hinting that he is gay is not relevant nor necessary. A souless product.",1
Unless you are an extremely mentally stable person this show will put you into a really dark place looool don't watch it really emotionally draining and uses extremely triggering and important issues as shock value.,2
"This movie is a typical cliched hollywood crime drama. littile bit boring too. the only interesting thing is the 'billboard writing' which become a sensation after the movie. and the climax is an absolute joke. avoiding the brilliant 'the disaster artist', and nominating a movie like this itself shows the standard of oscar jury nowadays.",5
"Really bad. This is not the Marvel Universe. This is Disney destroying the Marvel Universe, just like they destroyed Star Wars. Preachy, bad acting, predictable plots, and written by people who hate the comics. The people who gave this a high rating either never watched this or work for Disney. Anyone who read the background stories will hate this.",1
The Witcher has been gutted for the political agenda. Go woke go broke companies like netflix shouldn't be allowed to buy IP like this. One of the many reasons I have cancelled my netflix subscription and urge you to do the same.,1
"Forgetting Sarah Marshall had all the potential to fall into one of two camps: unbridled raunchy fun a la 40 Year Old Virgin and Superbad or sentimentality masked as comedy like Knocked Up. I had all the fear that it would hit the latter taking the sensitive guy with the broken heart too far into romance territory, letting the laughs fall by the wayside once the conclusion comes along. Thankfully, though, while the train took some turns down that path, writer/star Jason Segel knew what he was doing and threw in a curveball joke to right the ship at each instance. Rather than attempt to be two kinds of films at once, I believe this was a true hybrid of the two sides of the Apatow machine. You will not be free from laughter for long stretches here as the balance between big laughs and sappy melodrama is always tempered by subtle jabs, fantastic one-liners, and a crew of really likable actors having fun.

This film also shows society a lesson on human anatomy. It is quite interesting how different reactions nudity can elicit depending on the sex of the person exposed. If the audience sees breasts on screen they get quiet as they are watching what is probably a love scene. However, once you get male genitalia in frame, everyone—and I mean everyone—cannot stop themselves from laughing. Let's just say there are a lot of laughs of this fashion, so if that may detract you from seeing the film, be warned, but really it is only used to add one more layer of absurdity to seemingly tired situations and in my opinion works brilliantly. One has to respect this clan of artists under Apatow's wing for pushing boundaries and being willing to go for the joke without a second thought. It's one thing to be sexual and explicit just to say you are, it's another to use it in order to enhance the plot and the scene, sticking to your vision and not straying unnecessarily.

What really becomes apparent is how these guys have found a way to understand today's comedy and their ability to turn a common, simple plot structure into something fresh and entertaining. Guy loses girl, guy tries to get away only to find that his safe haven is also where she is with her new boyfriend (wow haven't seen that before), guy falls for new girl while old girl realizes how stupid she was, and the end is the end (not to spoil anything directly, but I'm sure you can figure it out). It is all in the details and the gaps between the lines where the true genius manifests itself. Segel has joined Apatow and Seth Rogen in their ability to make a laugh-a-minute riot with a complete story and not simply a string of gags loosely jumbled together. Don't get me wrong, there are many gags and I'm sure many moments that were thought of previously and added to the script where they fit, but that is the thing, they all fit like a glove. It can't be easy to weave together a Dracula rock opera, complete with huge payoff at the end; a pig roast, (""Don't make me do this…I'm sorry!""); a sexually inexperienced newly wed couple; the wonderful features on new Mac computers; and the secret to good surfing technique, (""No, too much movement, do nothing…now stand""), but Segel deftly does the job.

As for the players, I will admit to knowing little to nothing about all the principals. Segel is great in this role, but that should be no surprise since he wrote the part for himself based on real-life experiences, (if it's true that the breakup scene while naked actually happened to him, kudos for letting a situation like that be permanently etched onto celluloid). As for the women, both Kristen Bell and Mila Kunis do well attempting to break free from their TV show pasts. I'm not a big fan of Bell at all, but she is perfect in this role as the somewhat bitchy celebrity unaware of how vain she is. Maybe my somewhat undeserved hostility towards her made it feel that much more real. As for Kunis, I was completely surprised by how likable she was. Even when she snaps at one point into a curse-laced tirade, she is still the cutest thing in the world. Also, her chemistry with Segel is completely believable—the attraction through minds and sensibilities as the two are kindred souls finding exactly what they need from each other. The real surprise, though, is Brit Russell Brand. This guy owns each of his scenes with a self-effacing role of utter rockstar stupidity, played absolutely straight. He portrays the cool guy swagger to perfection and mixes in the awkward doltish sensibilities most stereotype his kind with. Segel's interaction with him on the ocean is the best example of how out there this guy is, yet when it comes to music he really does know what he is doing (regardless of his laughable songs).

It is not going to be a comedy classic like Virgin, but it also won't be thrown aside as a failed attempt to give a rom-com broad comedic appeal like Knocked Up is with me. Instead it walks the line with a few missteps crossing other both ways. Each time it goes astray, in either direction, it finds it's footing quickly to right the scale. With the help of cameos from Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, and Davon McDonald, one can't languish in the sentimentality for too long because those crazy characters won't let you. Forgetting Sarah Marshall delivers on the Apatow name and shows that Jason Segel shouldn't be relegated to only standing in Seth Rogen's shadow; he may be able to cast his own soon enough.",7
"The story started very strongly and made the film get very good scores. That's why the fascinating story of the series makes the viewer very keen to continue the story of the series. If the series continues, it can become one of the best series in history, otherwise it won't have much luck. I am very hopeful for the film. It has great special effects and the actors have played their part fairly well. The series has a bright future ahead of it But you still don't have to judge the series very quickly. So far, the actors have done fairly well, but it can be seen that with the continuation of the series, the roles of the film may be weakened and perform poorly, so far fortunately we have not witnessed this and I hope we do not see this.",7
"Wow! Season 1 was great, funny, weird and strange in a magical way. I gave it a 10! Watch it!

... but the new season 2? I don't know. Kind of tired in its drive, lacking real fantasy in its storytelling, missing the wild anarchy and crazy humor from the beginning. The nordic God of Prank is now nothing more than a guy that wants to save the world. (Good challenge but different type of story, sorry.) What could have been a glorious development to a new, next level is in my opinion a huge step backwards. Unfortunately from 10 to 6. Still okay to watch - but not overwhelming anymore.

Please do better - in case that there might come season 3.",7
"I really enjoyed this series, I binged watched over 2 days and it was great, I think it is what superheroes would really be like if they were in the real world. It's has action, comedy and romance and a great conspiracy, some great acting, Karl urban was great. Hope for another season.",9
"Umm, OK. Umm, OK. Umm, OK. Umm, OK. Nope did not like the movie. Reminds me of those college chicks who acted like cartoon characters from some poorly written teenage anarchists/rich bored kid novellete. However, Kirsten Dunsten has a nice back. That is all. Thank you for your time.

I like cheese. I suppose I am just not smart enough or maybe I am a little too sober to enjoy multi-million dollar actors attempting to give themselves ""credibility"" by making bad faux art house movies.

In conclusion, sanity and adulthood are more enjoyable than the polemedintic imagirations of Sally Cocoa Puffs and her own copy of the Nashville Scene.",2
"Season one was average entertainment BUT season two is awful! Slow, boring and bad acting.",5
"Some characters are not even necessary or I'm not sure where they fit to the story, yet too much boring time spent on them. Only likable character brad Pitt's to give a 5. Disappointing...",5
"The movie is adequate, that's not good enough for this live action though. Lion King is a masterpiece story that has been celebrated for years for its emotional and timeless value. This version falls really short. The voice acting is flat the tone is wrong and there is little to no emotion felt during a very slow boring few hours.

The only highlight in my opinion is Seth Rohan and Billy Eisner. Past that? A very forgettable and hollow version of the story.

Oh and Beyoncé over sings everything.",3
"This movie isn't a bad movie at all, quite the opposite. I was very Intrigued going in but what my attention is how horribly this was edited. We get the typical michael bay excessively long car chase with probably more streets visited than there actually is. Next it's cut - pan left - pan right shoot from the ground up pan left pan right. If that wasn't bad enough, we can't even get a clear picture of the store because once a character starts to talk about something - skips to the next character. Absolutely no time to build a story with too much of his over the top explosions and panning left and panning right. It's an okay move with the actors doing their best. I wouldn't say don't watch it - because it's decent , just prepare yourself for a movie that is just a mess.",5
THIS WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO WATCH... IT WOULD'VE BEEN MORE TOLERABLE IF VENOM SPOKE A LOT LESS. TOM HARDY IS BETTER THAN THIS AND SHOULD EXCUSE HIMSELF FROM PLAYING THIS CHARACTER IN THE FUTURE.,3
"Before I begin, yes, I have read the book, not once, but twice. And I understand with adaptations that changes will be made. If this had been a movie or had less episodes, there definitely would have been less problems. The idea to make this thirteen hour long episodes may have seemed brilliant but when you figure out that making an episode longer than it takes to read the chapter it is based on, it really loses its shine. And that's why this show fails. Not just as an adaptation, but as a series in general. First off, there is way, WAY too much filler and padding material here. The book took place in a single night, the show takes place over a week and is filled with pointless subplots which dragged the overall plot. Second, the acting is horrendous, but I think that has more to do with the writing. None of the characters are interesting or likable. Season 2 was the final nail in the coffin. Why do these streaming websites insist on making sequels to books that had none or don't need them?

This show is horrendous and needs to end and be forgotten about.",2
"I was expecting great things of this film. ""A modern classic"", everyone said. ""Oscar-worthy emotional drama with excellent acting"" they said. The list of Oscar nominations it received along with the general public consensus led me to believe I was about to watch one of the seminal films of modern cinema...

That only compounded the disappointment, and dismay that confronted me during and after the film.

The subject matter should make for an interesting and deeply emotional story. And it could have... if not for some frankly weird direction. The pace seemed too slow, and there didn't seem to be a clear narrative to the story. There were no particular defined story-lines that had a clear direction, instead the story just kind of 'meandered along' - just telling the tale of stuff that happened to a bloke in times of slavery.

This to me reeks of a Director either in above his head, or just plain not knowing what he is doing or what kind of film he is trying to make.

Some of the cinematography was poor too, the pacing issue I already mentioned was painfully obvious during long scenes of character's faces (that seemed disjointed, pointless to the preceding and proceeding scenes, and represented nothing at all), that were just odd, too long and largely pointless to anything.

Overall, a wasted opportunity I feel. This film could have been so much better with a better Director...",6
"It seems this movie will be highly-rated and well-liked by the HP and JKR fandom. And in that regards, it probably was a very good movie. But having been a fan but not fanatic of the HP series, I found this movie a mostly boring offshoot of the same. Yes, I see the ties to HP, foreshadowing, etc. but the plot, dialogue, characters, even some of the effects fell flat for me. And I do enjoy effects-rich movies, as long as they support and don't overshadow good characters and good story-lines. But this movie had neither. It never hooked me in to wanting to discover. I think JKRowling is an excellent author, and I did enjoy the HP books more than the movies because they're richer, deeper, and I felt more immersed in that world. And though I did not read this book, perhaps it's a better read than film. I find it hard to believe this will be a 5-part movie series, but there is probably enough momentum with JKR and HP fans to keep it going.",4
"I watched the entire series hoping it would get better, alas that didn't happen. If you can get past the bad acting and guirella noises that Frank makes all the time and just enjoy unrealistic shoot ups..you might enjoy this. Worst Marvel adaptation to date.. 2/10 is generous.",2
"This is the best and most accurate portrayal of these topics in a film or series EVER. I am a total movie obsessive and nothing connected with me as much as this series has. It is bold, brutal and sometimes yes hard to watch but it is so so important. The structure and general writing of it is brilliant. It completely captivated me. Having personal experience with the serious topics that this show is based around I felt it couldn't have been done better. We need programmes like this. Well done to the phenomenal cast for taking on these roles. Oh and it also has trigger warnings at the start of some episodes which I always encourage. Perfection.",8
"Dvd purchase ( yeah ..support media), but had to press eject tray after 20 minutes. Promising cast. Christine Bale looked like he lost a lot of weight, maybe method acting .. but seriously looked ill. Plot wise, difficult to follow, but it irked me in a bad way, hence grabbing remote. Thought at least Margot Robbie would shine, at best eye candy, alas no. Would I recommend this film to anyone, probably not. Guess if your looking for quirky off beat comedy it will pass the time. Even though a glass eye is featured "" Glass Onion "" another comedy film delivered better. Amsterdam? Shame about Taylor Swift character, car struck indeed.",3
"A vacuous empty story about empty vacuous people in an empty vacuous city. One paced stilted direction drags the piece along at a snails pace with barely discernable dialogue which is incomprehensible even when you can hear it. The plot, such as it is, goes nowhere and at two episodes in I was utterly bored. None of the characters are remotely likeable and the acting is pedestrian at best; Kidman gives another of her now oh so familiar dead eyed facially paralysed performances that make you yearn for the actress that promised and delivered so much. Watching this reminded me of that wave of 70's avant garde theatre productions where all of the first act was spent staring out of a window or waiting for a letter to arrive. This is pompous pointless 'art' masquerading as film, don't bother, I've already wasted two hours.",3
"The plot of Amsterdam feels kind of uneven and weirdly told. But what carries this movie for me, is the characters and the world of Amsterdam. It's based on many historical moments & characters, but the movie makes it feel like it's own colourful and intriguing world.

The characters are all fun and the main trio are nicely fleshed out. The cinematography is great and there are some really beautiful shots here & there, and some good camera work. The soundtrack is fun and fits this somewhat lighthearted mystery drama. The performances are memorable and the cherry on top. The casting feels a bit unequal with certain actors not feeling as if they fit the characters, but it's mostly fine for the most part.

Overall, Amsterdam will not appeal to everyone's liking, but I thoroughly enjoyed most of what it has to offer.",8
"A perfect example of a Love at first sight, beware yes I said beware to watch it, as it may haunt you for your whole life whenever it comes to your screen and whenever you listen it's background music it will haunt you for sure, it's a gem of bollywood which is so underrated that the word underrated also wouldn't define how underrated this movie was at the time it was released,.can't explain more of it in words you have to watch and feel it, I have short of words but whenever you come to see it you will also become like me, I can't explain how beautiful movie this was as a teenager I loved it and now I can feel it.",10
Season 2 is better than the first one. The show is set on an adventure note but that adventure has no excitement or any kind of thrilling element. No feelings and very dry.,5
"This series is almost completely good. Fight scenes look more realistic than other TV series like this. Also the villain Wilson Fisk a.k.a the Kingpin has big potential and the series use him cleverly. However the daredevil outfit looks terrible and I wish it will change. Because costume is the most important part of heroes. If the director asks my opinion, which is impossible, I'd prefer more charismatic and cool suit. In the net, it is possible to see various cool designs of daredevil costume.

Moreover, ""season 2"" will be pretty good with the Punisher and Elektra. I'm not sure Bullseye will be in season 2 but I want him in this series because he is also looks cool as the Kingpin.",9
After awhile seemed a little far fetched and redundant. Had some of my favorite actors which is nice. Didn't suit my standards of cohesiveness because actor ensemble was of varying depths and skills - some believable and some just bad acting. One surprise after another left me shaking my head and thinking what's going to happen next. I'm more of a fan of trying to figure out the mystery as I go along and then exclaiming over the big reveal/finale. I did find some characters very interesting and some characters were just plain ...like the role just wasn't for them and they came across as trying way too hard which just made it painful to watch.,5
"Bravo, David Yates. You have done it once again.

For those who haven't read the books or watched the previous 6 films, don't even bother. You'll be lost and confused the entire way. But for those familiar with Harry Potter, I dare say you'll be pleased with the faithful adaptation presented to us. It's an entertaining ride from start to finish and despite having a runtime of 146 minutes, there wasn't a moment I felt it too long.

Touching on technicalities, it is undoubtedly a superbly filmed piece. And since the majority of the film is set in the Muggle (""real"") world, it provides a new and refreshing experience with beautiful scenery that isn't Hogwarts, all a backdrop for the wizarding characters and their exciting ventures.

And the acting is just brilliant. It's weird to think 9 years ago, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and (the ever beautiful) Emma Watson were just little kids thrown into the world of what was to be one of the greatest film series ever. Being roughly the same age as them, I can say I've travelled with them, grown with them, matured with them. That is exactly what they deliver, an extremely mature performance that shows their undeniable talent; and of course, the supporting characters, all veteran performers who just add to the brilliancy.

The pacing was criticised, and justifiably so. If you're looking for a concise and action packed-to-the-brim film, similar to the previous films, you won't find it here. But you will find a dark and emotional work that draws you in if you're willing. Bear in mind, it is only the first half of the epic finale. Oh, and the much talked about 'dance scene' that immediately divided audiences and critics alike? I didn't have a huge problem with it, but it certainly felt disjointed and out of place; not necessary, but I have to say, it was sweet.

Was it the best in the entire series? Some may argue yes, but I personally felt Half-Blood Prince to be superior, though this is a close second. Part 1 is a perfect setup for the resounding finale waiting in store for us next year. This was thrilling as it is; I can't imagine how electrifying Part 2 will be.

Personal Highlights: Other than all Emma Watson scenes (she can truly act), do watch out for a particular animated sequence in the middle of the film that is creative and innovative. Also, Harry and Hermione's visit to snow-covered Godric's Hollow is one of the most beautifully shot scenes in the entire film.",8
"It is one of my favourite TV series so far. The British irony which characterizes it really fascinated me. Moreover, I think that Benedict Cumberbatch is the best Sherlock Holmes ever. Also the supporting characters are amazing: Watson, Moriarty, Mary, Magnussen, Mycroft, and so on. In particular, Sherlock and Watson's close friendship is one of the funniest in the TV history. The main feature which let me fall in love with this series is that every episode is better than the previous one. It always gets more interesting and more difficult (= funnier) for our detective. I really hope that the series hasn't reached the end yet and will continue for a 5th season.",9
"To put it simply, this movie didn't strike me as feature film material. It might work as a surreal short art film. Or perhaps it could work as a feature if it was a bit more consistent and cogent in its presentation. It's not just that I didn't understand it. I didn't understand how I could possibly understand it by watching it.

The cinematography and acting aren't the problem(although DeFoe could use subtitles if he's going to talk in such an incoherent way). It succeeds in being original and memorable. But that doesn't mean it is wasn't also one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

The last few minutes in particular are so nuts and bizarre that I'd recommend showing it to your friends for fun to see their confused and horrified reaction to the pinnacle of the dumpster fire of the ""story"". The only bad thing about that idea is that it might make your friends think that they could must make some sense of that ending if they watched the rest of the movie. They'd be wrong and then hate you for making them invest more than a few minutes into the awful film. So keep that in mind.",2
"Overall not a bad show, I just don't see the point why last of us needed to be a mini series? Can't we just let it be a good game and leave it at that? I mean no offense the show is done well and the actors are good but...

I mean naughty dog is yet to release last of us for pc! So there are still gamers out there who never had a chance to play the game and yet people who had never heard of it get to watch it on HBO?

Assuming they're going to make last of us2 as well, it's gonna fail anyways! It was bad enough having to play as abby, and now we get to watch more of her! Just awesome I'd say!!",7
"Storyline was quite good, and casting was perfect. Somewhat like political satire.",9
"I was lucky enough to attend an advanced screening and I must say I have enjoyed this one :)

J.K. Rowling is doing a good job as a screen writer and the return to the Harry Potter universe left us with a good taste. The finale was a bit long, but surely not boring. Dan Fogler is a good comedian and Alison Sudol got our attention. And of course Eddie Redmayne is amazing.

I've heard that Fantastic Beasts II will take place in Paris, and I cannot wait to see it!

"I was really hype for this, then my hype plummeted after watching Wandavision that I found really bad. (Not the acting, that was great but the overall scenario.) I'm back on the hype train after watching this first episode of Falcon and the Winter Soldier and I'm pretty confident we're gonna have the first really good marvel tv show.

Great job. (The jokes with Bucky were on point)",7
Never have I seen such an humiliation of a once great character... Yet another Marvel (and mythic) character takes it in the crack in the name of equality between genders/promotion of political correctness... Gimme back my 15 dollars...,1
Love Quintin Tarrantino films but I didn't enjoy this. Story was slow and not much of anything was happening. Odd ending,3
"and that's enough to convince viewers that they are watching a bunch of clumsy and naive quasi-canadians bumble around a hopeless kidnapping scheme. the uncertainty felt throughout about who will get away with what is well justified as it is very difficult to gauge the integrity of the characters presented - this is especially true with the cop portrayed by Frances McDormand. she's hokey just like everyone else, but she seems to be the only character possessing any acumen.

in fact there is constant intelligence present in this film; in the background, hiding behind the ruralness. the Coen brothers weave scenes together at an ideal pace. there are many twists and turns, often unanticipated, always intriguing.

highly recommended : 8.5/10",8
"In short, this is an American Wuxia movie. Superheroes are similar to those martial art warriors in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon genre, who can leap over building, have superhuman strength, bend physical law etc. Each has his/her unique fighting style and weapons. And just like a wuxia movie, the plot is about love, friendship, revenge and betrayal.

Even you can relate some action scenes to Asia's martial arts movie, like when Cap is gunned down and fall from building to the ground, Jacky Chan's stunt has done that 'fall' before. The way Black Widow/Romanoff doing 'parkour' in the market, just like Donnie Yen did in ""Bodyguards and Assassins"" and so on. The Russo's brothers seem to be a martial art fans and it's good, they made the action scenes awesome by combining the grace of Asia/Hongkong's martial art and the explosive/spectacular of Hollywood's CGI and special effects.

However, I always see Captain America as the one who obeys the laws while Iron Man always breaks them, so throughout the movie I couldn't get rid the feeling that their roles in the story are mismatched. Another thing, while it's a superb action movie, it somehow lacks of emotional depth. Their motives are just rational. Therefore, Spiderman and Black Panther are able to steal the show, hence I put them on my title review. Really looking forward for their own films.

Perhaps for the next installment, the Russo's should also add spices of Korean drama to the mix :).",7
"How much did Ryan Reynolds get paid? That has to be the ONLY reason he is in this toilet of a movie!! The opening set piece has the worst continuity I have ever seen on film!!! Smashed up cars suddenly being unmarked, a driver wearing a baseball cap in one shot and not in the next then back again, etc. Plot makes no sense either. Typical Bay mess of a movie!!!!!",1
"Honestly...Shame on you Mr.Tarantino... I've religiously followed all the films of Tarantino,having an opinion that he is the greatest director alive... What a disappointment with his new film... Actors are amazing,but the story...Cashing in on the tragedy of victims of the cult of Manson...Just simply sad...3 stars for amazing acting from main actors...The rest is just a horrible mistake...",3
Both Deepika and saif should give up on acting. Being children of celebrities or sportserson maybe enough to get a role but is not enough to do a solid acting. If someone wants to see How a good plot can be ruined by poor performance one should watch this movie.,1
"The Lion King is a technically beautiful movie to be sure. That being said, the acting, the lack of emotion in the animation and the total lack of emotion in the music itself all make the movie completely flat and boring. It seemed the voice actors were more interested in adding unnecessary vocal melisma than they were in relaying an emotional undertone. I appreciate that they stayed true to the original script and didn't add the social commentary du jour, like Disney has done with every other live action remake, but this one was just dull.",4
"High, high production value, decent storytelling, great acting by most of the cast. You'll like it you dig or can handle action-packed gory stuff. This is the most GoTsh I've seen in a while.",9
"The biggest waste of money I have witnessed in a blockbuster, maybe ever. I heard they spent $150 million making this, I don't think it's worth more than $150. Absolutely NOT funny, NOT entertaining, and NOT worth a thing. This movie is a complete MARKETING trick and experiment. The IDEA for the movie - BRILLIANT. The trailers/advertising - GENIUS. The movie itself - A COMPLETE EMBARRASSMENT.

Black is himself: annoying and not funny, as always. Stiller is wearing out fast - his dry sarcasm no longer even induces smiles, and Downey's performance is entertaining to watch, but lacks inducing a SINGLE laugh throughout the entire movie. The ""retard jokes"" they are receiving tons of criticism for are so distasteful and stale, that I am siding with the ""retarded people"" on this - those jokes are not even worth having in the movie because they're not funny!!!

I don't know what any of these guys were thinking? Even Tom Cruise plays a stupid role in the movie. This has to be the worst script of 2008, hands down. It is so amateurishly incoherent. It's extremely disappointing that Justin Thereoux now has this on his belt, because it's a huge blow to him. What a horrible writing debut!!! I honestly could not believe how terrible this was. My choice for worst movie of the year. Probably the biggest scam/disappointment of the decade. Avoid this movie at all costs.",2
"Next time y'all try and do a Venom movie, ""Marvel"" or Disney or whomever you are, make sure the GRAPHICS can keep up. Also, maybe try and have them look SOMETHING Like they did in the comic books?? Sheesh.. it was all written out for you... all you had to do was follow directions. Oh and VENOM is NOT good. He's a SUPER VILLAIN. The heck are you all doing!?",1
"Nagraj Manjule is excellent as a director and yet again he has proven himself after the success of Sairaat. Amitabh Sir is a living legend. It's unbelievable that he is 80 yrs old. He is like an old wine in a new bottle. The script was too good. Slum Soccer and it's establishment by a retired professor. I was not aware that some part of the story was real. Evryone acted well especially Babu and his tapori slangs. Rinky Rajguru , the star of Sairaat was also given a meaty role in this movie. It was good to watch the movie in a big screen and the director stuck to the topic and kept it simple . Take a Bow.",8
"Hang on, I just saw it had a US$51m budget. What?? The CGI was sharknado quality. I have to admit, my copy was in Eskimo audio, I thought this was an indie film from Norway or something and wasn't cut in English. If this is an indie private $3m film it was terrific. If this was a professional production it was atrocious. I really enjoyed it, even with Innuit dialogue. Simple story, no storyline or plot, just a boy and a dog",6
"Nonsense movie, soulless characters, bad script, ridiculous and so unrealistic. Awful movie.",2
"If Batman walks up to the bad guys and starts beating up people in broad daylight, it only shows that somebody forgot the point of this mysterious vigilante.

Spoiling the main character is enough to make a movie just dull experience with a predictable chain of events and action sequences that finally leads to taking out the bad guys.

This one felt like 4 hours to me as I really enjoyed the last 2 movies.

Production level was great as it was expected from a big and ambitious series of Batman origin stories. This final movie just lost it's attraction when characters are thin shadows from the original comic heroes/villains and everything meaningful (like character development, dialogue and emotion) was replaced with over dramatic action and suspense towards to the final showdown.",4
"I don't normally write reviews but for this series i make an exception. I have not read the books neither have I played the games but I still do know a good amount of the witcher wild hunt game.

For me the best part was Henry Cavills acting as Geraldt but for too many times I felt like the series was focusing on developing the supporting characters instead of the main protagonist. And a lot of those times it felt more like being forced to witness the independence and strength of a woman, but that was not the reason i started to watch this series, I wanted to see the good acting of Henry as Geraldt and to see more of the witcher than of the others on the series!

Also the world building wasn't easy to follow since I have not read the source material nor played the games, but at least i know that the setting is a medieval Poland and not the wonderland of Netflix where every race is evenly represented and the evil white haired men are banned from entering...thats the feeling im left with all the production of Netflix.

At the same time everything Netflix touches feels cheap, I can't put my finger on what it is. I have watched GOT and i loved how it was made (Till the fourth season) and how it looked expensive. Seeing The Witcher i can't help but to feel it to be atleast three times cheaper than GOT even when it has the same budjet! Also the screen writing does not satisfy.

After seeing the first season I was left with the feeling of not even caring to see the next nor do i care when it will be out. This series misses a lot in developing Geraldt as protagonist! I have to say im glad how they portrayed Ciri.

Last but not the least. Why does the bad guy in this story look like a teenager dressed in a plastic scrotum armor?? And same goes with his army, they all look like plastic scrotum warriors who wear a skimask under their helmet? They put effort in making bedsheets and pillow cases look like real medieval fabric but at the same time they dress a whole army with plastic scrotum and skimasks?? And I'm led to believe this series has the same budjet as GOT?",6
"And thats a matter of taste and completely valid. I keep feeling that even though it's 'edgy', it will have a bigger chance to charm a younger audience, like below 30, then an older one.

It's edgy. It's kind of original. It SEEMS a bit controversial. It's violent. It's dark.

But that's it. For me, it was just really boring and uninteresting. The ONLY thing in this product that really was a bit interesting to me was the character Starlight. For all the rest I just felt like I was watching the latest Seth Rogan show. Full of edgy and 'original' stuff, yes, but oh so empty and superficial. Totally inhabited by flat and completely uninteresting characters.

I made it to episode 5 and I really had to violently DRAG myself there.",3
"I made it through the first 5 episodes and thought it was pretty good, but slow moving. Episode 6 killed it for me. First, after an opening commercial, they spent nearly 10 minutes showing the same scenes they showed in the earlier episodes. Why? Obviously they were just stretching it out, because everyone had already seen them. Then more commercials that were too dumb to watch.

Then they spend several minutes with a policewoman and her roomie talking - not moving the story ahead at all. Then more blather from a supposed ""super blogger"" that also did nothing to add to the story.

Episode 6 was over 30 minutes, but only included less than 10 minutes of anything that advanced the story from the end of episode 5.

It felt like something interesting was going to happen, but I was too bored to wait through 4 more hours to get to it.

Too much spam. I don't even care how it eventually ended.",3
"Not the best casting (they do not look like the video game or are the correct age or behave as in the game), but most importantly not at all true to the video game. Such a big disappointment, they have literaly only kept the names correct (and I ma not even sure about that after episode 4). So much character development and nice plotlines in the game, the game itself was a nice TV series! An action packed, artistic video game has been turned in slow stills. No idea what they are trying to achieve with this uneventful, slow plot. Too much hype and advertising driving review scores up, but I think it will blow off eventually.",6
"Me and my husband still rewatch it all the time.

This show should be played in schools, will raise better generation.",10
"I simply love Michelle Yeoh, she is one of the best i ever saw on the screen, grew up watching her and yes you are right, your prime is over when you will say it is over. Till this very date no female actor can perform better on screen martial arts then her.

As for the movie, if someone want's to see parallel universe based movie, Doctor Strange and SpiderMan multiverse are better to watch, far more entertaining, far more interesting and far more with simplest of logic.

The movie will certainly make you to pull your hair, a continuous state of confusion and just an eager to get over with it asap.

It's not entertaining, it is not, i am sorry but it is not.

Seeing too many high praising going on, but come on, some wires in brain needs to be missing in order to understand this.",2
Sorry but this is so slow and boring to me. But the story was good. Watch it if you have a good patience.,7
"Given the compelling subject matter it is amazing that Nolan failed to make a decent film. I saw an interview with one of the Producers who claimed it to be ""an art house film in the form of a major motion picture."" Sorry, but many art house pictures are far more interesting. If you're not going to have a decent script then why did you miss so many opportunities to use visuals to tell your story? Not worth the time it takes to watch it.",1
"I have been a fan of murder mystery , thrillers and I look forward for Bollywood thrillers so naturally I was thrilled when it came out on Netflix.

It looked promising and interesting but my hope dashed as I started to watch it.

People are raving about this movie. Are they getting paid to praise this utter nonsense of a movie?

I am so disappointed in this movie , direction, acting, script , music , songs and everything related to this movie.

I did watch it til the end to find something to rave about the movie but sorry! Got zero!!

Such a waste of time and on top of these supposedly good actors have given their 1 percent of talent.",2
"Let's do some history. For a hero or anti-hero to have a decent story at least there has to be a story, a motivation, and also a worthwhile villain. In this case they managed to destroy Spiderman's most important villain (Carnage) by including him in a story where the producers, screenwriters and director did not know what to do. The big mistakes: repeat villain; the villain of the first Venom and the one in this film are almost the same. Cletus Kassidy's lover does not use the name Shriek (her character's name) and does not even use all the powers that correspond to her according to the canon. Woody Harrelson's look varies between Venom 1 to Venom 2 which marks a disaster in the aesthetic continuity of the character. Venom's character becomes increasingly unbearable and doesn't generate any sympathy at all. So much so that one begins to miss the Raimi version of this character. Considering the derivation of the character, it is absolutely correct to affirm that Venom will never be able to star in a decent movie since the scripts are by rule horrible, the direction lackluster, the production is not ambitious and the attachment to respect the legacy of the character is non-existent.",3
"I have seen The Matrix in full. I have considered it in my head. I have now come to the conclusion that the version everybody else has been watching is different to mine, as I can see no merit in the movie whatsoever. The dull characters live in a bland, grey hued universe populated by other dull characters, fighting for a cause that I don't understand and that I don't care for. Along the way they get into supposedly 'cool' kung fu and gunfights all in slow motion. The only relief from the relentless boredom of this emotionless juggernaut is Hugo Weaving's Agent Smith, a character whose blandness is intentional and even amusing. In the case of the other characters, their blandness is unintentional and unamusing. The only people who can possibly enjoy and understand this movie in full are the Wachowski brothers.",5
"I really enjoyed the earlier ones but this was really dumbed down.

With very little effort they could have made this a great movie.

You cannot defy laws of physics in special effects or it becomes completely 5 year old cartoon nonsense. That is the problem here.

Be logical with the scenes instead of being lazy. The graphics capability is there so don't cheapen it by taking short cuts.

It distracts from the entire movie.

That, and great effects mixed in with the most primitive of video overdubbing. In many scenes you can plainly see the backdrop with people standing in front of it. You'd think you were watching a 1940s film with overdubbing ... geeesh.

Come on, do it right or don't do it at all.",2
"Usually I'm such of big fan of Christopher Nolan cause for me is most talented Director of Hollywood but this movie is very annoying about the script, several times I wondering to myself if I'll change in few minute of movies cause I don't see the goal to telling this story...

Okay it show a part from the war okay but I was not embedded by the story in general it's getting to be boring so exuse for you guys but is not a good movie of war we got better from others director !

However the shoots and the acting is great for that we are seldom disappointed from Nolan for these criteria of his films, I took such pleasure to watching it in the air, beach or on the boat and the water and also by the way the first scene of the movie is very nice and appreciating to watching but for me script very boring kill the film !",6
"I like Tom Hardy and I really feel bad for him that he acted in this movie. This movie proves that you can make a really bad superhero(!) movie in the year 2018! Terrible acting, poor story, bad CGI and Riz Ahmed as the ultimate villain? Give me a break.

Do not waste your time and money. Do not watch this movie. If you are a fan of Tom Hardy, DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!",5
The picture was very good. The whole picture was exciting. Full of action and thriller movies. I am giving the picture a 10/10 rating. There is nothing boring in the whole picture.,10
"Well... lets see, no plot no explanation at all. what are they?.. why are they?.. guess netflix cant think for themselves so the ripoff other crappy movies. looking at you the happening. dont waste your time with this movie... it will only leave you with more questions...",1
"The movie is two hours of the hero and a little girl slashing and killing people, with lots of squealing tire car chases and roll overs, the plot is mediocre, it is a shame that movies have deteriated to what this supposively one of the best movies ofcthe year has deteriated to.",2
"The movie was directed in a boring way. Nothing unexpected, we have seen movies like this a lot of times. It was not that special. The acting was great, the pictures were disturbing, but I have seen better movies.

But the movie is still very important, because we have learned nothing from these dark ages. Back in these days, white men thought that black men are animals, not the same, that they can be treated in a very bad way.

How did we learn nothing from it, you ask? We try to spread our human rights to everyone in the world? Well, we do the very same to many animals in the world. We torture them, put them in cages, kill them in the millions. And we only do this because we think, we are superior, we think, animals are not like us.

So it is important to remind us again and again that our humanity and decency is not only for those we think comparable to us, but for everything on our world that lives and breathes.

Sorry for this derail... movie was mediocre, move on ;)",6
Bangladesh is glorious country by born. But they showing Bangladesh a terrorists country where Military/RAB/Child are involved to crime Which totally misrepresented Bangladesh.,1
"once again, i have seen a movie with my friends who can't pick a movie to save their lives. The previews say comedy but thats not what it is at all, its more of a serious movie and when i mean serious , i mean seriously boring. I didnt care much for the characters. i came in with an open mind because i am into wierd movies but it has to keep me interested which this didnt. first half of the movie was so boring i was thinking of walking out but when jim carey realized he wanted the erasing of clementine to stop, things got slightly more interesting but not by much. for me this would have been a rental. I thought being john malkovich was more interesting than this, its written by the same guy. well hopefully my next review will be more positive. 3/10",3
"I must say I was a bit disappointed with Amsterdam. The cast (Bale, Robbie, Washington, Shannon, De Niro) and the director (David O. Russell) promised a masterpiece, but the story is not so interesting and the characters are not deep enough, in my opinion. The suspense falls very short. The relationship between the characters is neither too interesting nor very well developed. Christian Bale's performance is absolutely stunning: brilliant and exquisite. The cinematography and art direction are very beautiful, but the writing and the plot feel flat and that damages the movie, which is a pity. I really wanted to love this film but I couldn't. Overall, 7/10.",7
"The Fabelmens is a contriving and classically fun tale which is loosely based on Steven Spielbergs life in which I believe a unique and quirky take is brought on the classic coming of age story.

The plot is nothing to write home about as it has your very classic trops such as affairs, high school bullies, and young love. However, it is captured in such a dramatic way that makes it incredibly endearing to watch. It is so quickly able to go from serious to funny and has moments where you don't know how your supposed to think Plot:0.75/1

This is some of the most pristine acting you will see in a motion picture and there really is no weak link throughout the film except perhaps Seth Rogan in his role as Bennie. The MVP of the film must be Michelle Williams for her incredible performance of Mitzi but props must be given to all actors especially the child actors. Acting:1/1

This classic story is told so dynamically to the point where a story this classic should not be this entertaining but it is because of Spielberg's ability to put you right in the heart of the story. This lovable but haunting story told through the perceptions of so many makes it such a unique tale and one that it becomes incredibly challenging to find if there really is a bad guy Storytelling:1/1

As mentioned previously, there is nothing too terribly creative about the film but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable to watch. However, what makes it creative is the fact that it doesn't need to utilize crazy twists. It just tells the truly heartbreaking tales that come with life Creativity:0.75/5

While there is nothing that adds immensely to the film, there is nothing that takes away from the enjoyment of the film. The score is nice, the cinematography is effective, and it created a nice environment. The only issue I have with this is that there were times in which I felt the film didn't truly capture the 1950's aspect the film was based in Other Factors:0.75/1

Overall, the Fablemens is a tale that everyone can enjoy and also one that everyone can relate to. It has characters that you can relate to as well as many characters to root for. In a tale about nothing, in a way it is about everything Overall: 4.25/5.",8
Forget the film for a second that guy is a hero and what a story to make a film about. I think 2 hours was a bit unnecessary but it is what it is. The only problem with true story film they can be quite boring but it's a true story so it's not going to be non stop action. Ben affleck was really good in this but I think Bryan Cranston takes the crown for best acting in this. There's literally no complaints great film would recommend.,7
A fun exciting series with lots of twists! Best series I've watched in a while!,10
"For some reason I am still watching this, although I for the most part find it astonishingly boring. When something dramatic happens in the show, they manage to pack everything into 5 minutes out of a 1 hour episode - and it's not even that exciting - sometimes just the definition of boring. The show is very meh.. so much that it has left me in the state where I can't be bothered finding anything else, so I've annoyingly been binging this today.",4
"The show starts of with this vague scene but then the story starts from the beginning and that's the pint where I was completely in love with this show, the score and all the song choices are amazing and the acting is A-Level, the whole storytelling and the adaptation is great and it deserves an award for this writing. The pace of this show is just enough to make you binge the whole show in one day and it was worth it... Its a must watch.",8
"This movie tell all the wrong things which barely happens in life.

Movie shows a girl do wrong and later become prostitute, a boy is mischievous and parent send him London and he get even worse.

Today parent never keeps their child in this way. And any child or person do not spoils himself like this. Too much shown in movie. It creates headache, its a s-h-i-t movie.",1
"Not being a fan of captain America and not enjoying the first film, because it was full of clichés, I was quite surprised by this movie. It was actually really good! For a Marvel film this is definitely great and one of my favourite superhero films now.

It was a welcome change to see a superhero film tell a tale which involves politics, security and the role of authority. Captain America is a great choice for tell us a story because of what he represents: the ideal American in superhero form. Well done to all involved for going beyond a straight-cut comic book-to-film adaptation and making a memorable story.

As with any superhero and action film there are movie mistakes, ridiculous moments and inconsistent character actions. Often these can ruin a film however in this instance being a superhero film, and a good story, it doesn't detract at all and instead you'll be interested all the way through.

I can easily recommend this to anyone.",8
"Nothing new to say on any of the plaudits, except that context is needed. Private Ryan didn't get best movie Oscar, but was 100% better than this movie for lots of reasons, Tom Hanks being the main one. Dunkirk didn't get Oscar for best movie despite being 50% better than this movie. This movie didn't need to try and outdo Dunkirk on the musical tension, in fact, the village fantasyland suite was misplaced. Definitely an Oscar for screenplay, and best British cameos (lol). I recommend to see this movie, but after all the hype, and bearing in mind some of the truly outstanding war movies of the past 20 years, it didn't move me as much as others. And it didn't need to. It's a superbly executed narrative, and the final 10 minutes is worth the buildup. But be careful of the hype.",7
"I really enjoyed most recent Marvel movies and the idea of ""agents of shield"" is a good one. The problem is: In the movies shield is portrayed as a global resource-rich (money, manpower, skill, technology etc,) agency which helps humankind. In this TV show they talk about a different shield organization.

Here Shield has some form of ridiculous advanced technology but on the other hand lack standard technologies existing today in every household. The have no way to interact with local police, FBI, etc. units and are mostly on their own, even when they operate in the US. The strike team consits out of 3 very skilled persons without any modern gadgets like...tasers..or guns... Luckily the good guys (which means the bad guys as portrayed by this TV show) don't know that and attack mostly in closed quarter combat one buy one like in very old kung-fu movies. On the one hand shield can access every information on the world, but they can't make use local authorities, like blocking a road or using a swat team. But the biggest problem is:

Shield is evil.

No, seriously, SHIELD as portrayed in this TV show is basically al-Qaida times hundred. They hold slaves, they treat persons as objects, they have no sense for properties of individuals outside of SHIELD.

After 5 episodes I can't watch this TV show any more, it just trambles the good marvel movies underfoot.",9
"First of all, very stupid, the script was bad, the filming was worse, classic american jokes, i honestly don t know how italians allowed them to shoot scenes for this movie in their country, i don t want to offend noone, but this movie is an american movie for american people, because it just showed me how far that country is from reality, second of all, i don t want to be rude, but the actors werw pretty bad too, the movie is more of a sci-fi movie than an action movie, some scenes are just dumb af, and they seem they have been written by a 10 year old gamer kid, maybe it s a good movie for a 12-14 year old kid, but i don t see how it could be good for a grown up.",2
"Can we please ask this series to kill Alison for good? She is useless and obnoxious to say the least. I just don´t see this black feminist being useful at any moment. She is the core of many of the incosistencies of the movie. I think she is the one who gets the ""dummy"" award after we know she's responsible for all the bad things that happen. For me she must have been the villain and stay dead with her feminism",5
"Good tv-series. Well done Netflix. It is very nice to see such a well constructed story for entertainment. The way visual storytelling and sound design shapes the Anyas character is an interesting to watch. Additionally can definitely say that leading actress is amazingly well chosen for that role.

On the other hand from the chess game perspective tv-series can be more pro like staff. I mean who are connected to chess professionally can understand, what I am talking about.

The Queens Gambit is a good naming and dramaturgically it defines main character well. For those who are new at chess, can say that The Queens Gambit is very popular and solid opening, at the very beginning you sacrifice one pawn for better development. This idea of sacrificing anything valuable (chess players do get coz they know the value of one extra pawn) is commonly connected with the main character. And as a whole story tv-show on this stage is kind of a well established and well exposed.

Eventually we need to say that the story is fictional as well as the main character. For me personally it is very beautiful to see the woman playing chess professionally. And can definitely admire that eroticism which flow out from the board by the main character Anya Taylor-Joy is surprisingly beautiful and sexy.",8
Worth your time for the first half. Straight down the line film. Straight to streaming for a reason. Watchable.,5
"What the writer was thinking when he decided to write that film? It's just a cliched movie what those guys saw in to make. From the beginning to the end we saw it and we know how it's gonna work Darn it.

The characters are the same actually in the similar movies the only thing unique here is Jake Gyllenhaal he really did wonderful job he is the only reason I completed it not just him also Oona Laurence she is a discovery and the chemistry between them is awesome but there is a common problem in the characters they're so weak and take so weird decisions anyway the chapters in the movie are too many and too small the chapters should've been less with more details and persuasive characters

director spoiled the movie in the trailer and left nothing exciting in the movie but he did a good job in the zoom ins which served the actors' performance and delivered the feelings to the audience but with no remarkable fight scenes

Eminem soundtracks are super awesome and exciting.",6

"When I started to watch Marvel movies, I thought it would be super action, super entertaining and super heroic. But as longer I watched all the movies, than longer I have started to think that superhero movies are not for me. Till ""Captain America: The Winter Soldier"", I considered the movies ""Hulk"" and ""Captain America: the first Avenger"" the only I have really loved, the otgers were just ""good"" and ""7 because I just liked the movie"". But this movie made me love it! The plot is enough for a superhero movie. The actors were great and believable, the ""Spy gear"" parts in the movie were all on their places. The twists were also enough. But this action! It was great. I have almost almost felt like every scene was a awesome combination of action, drama and dialogue. And the music! Usually I don't pay much attention to it, but the main theme was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! This movie is quite dark, and it suits well! This movie deserves to be great, and get 8 out of 10.",8

"Barbie is 65. So am I. She is holding up much better than I am. The movie, however, was like a trip to the dentist for a root canal.

Costume and set decoration-maybe an honorable mention at the Oscars, but beyond that, this movie is more worthy of a Razzie than an Oscar. It fails as nostalgia, it fails as female empowerment, it is neither funny nor heartfelt If you want female empowerment, watch ""RBG"", ""Norma Rae"", ""Hidden Figures"" or ""Erin Brokovich"". I am sure that Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Will Ferrell, Reah Perlman. Ann Mirren and the rest of the lot will continue to have fruitful careers. Just please do not make a sequel! If you want to sell more pools, Corvettes and Dream Houses, make a few good commercials and air them near Christmas. There wasn't enough novociane to numb me during this presentation. Save your money and re-watch ""Toy Story, ""Despicable Me"" or ""Frozen."" Don't say I didn't warn you........",2
"I had big expectations for this one, I kept watching because I thought it was maybe getting better near the end. It didn't. Characters are shallow and the whole movie just misses the engagement you need to enjoy such an important story. I personally think there was a lot of potential in this story...",5
"Simple story, well written and conceptualized. Watched it straight and thoroughly enjoyed.",9
"The only reason this movie got 4 out of 10 from me is because the first 30mins. were brilliant. The CGI effects and fight scenes were a promising build up to an awesome movie with a great story. Sadley as the movie progressed the storyline became worse. The fight scenes became fewer. And to be honest that is one of the only reasons you would go see such a movie or any kind of superhero movie. To see stuff get blown up and to see bad guys get punched. However there were comical parts in the movie. The constant reference in movies to Facebook etc. is getting rather old. (that part can be seen in the trailer) Who knows maybe the 2nd Thor will be better, but if it is more romance then action i fear it will be just as a disappointment",4
"I was not sure I wanted to watch Barbie being a dude and thinking this is aimed at Kids or whoever liked 'Frozen', that Disney cartoons. But I gave it a try and by the end felt merrier about it. It has that feel good factor running all along that makes you appreciate the Director's and Writer's talents considering the story is about Barbie and her diaspora of dolls and the plastic world they inhabit Yet the films manages to illicit emotions, fun and merriment all along while still keeping true to the Dolls' origins and without it being preachy

I liked the world it creates both for Barbie and the Real World and the interactions that go in between, it acts as a satire

needless to say the actors are amazing and keep true to their characters. Well Done.",8
"Robert De Niro was so likeable and wise in this movie, it made me go awhhhhh!

I've seen loads of De Niro interviews and his face says it all. I don't want to be here, I don't want to answer your questions, when will this interview be over , etc, etc. Watching so called STARS be interviewed begrudgingly, is starting to really grate on me. If you want to peddle a movie, stick your game face on for a while, you get paid enough! If you are tired of giving interviews, then we're just as tired of listening to your uninteresting, stilted, painful, one word, boring answers. Better still, don't go to the interviews, no one wins De Nero.",2
"Many years ago, I learned that The Lion King (1994) was basically the plot of Hamlet reenacted with animals. And while many people consider the original 2D animated version of this story to be one of the greatest Disney movies ever created, I never really cared that much for it. Fast forward to 2019, and the new ""live-action"" version of The Lion King is released. Again, I wasn't really wowed by anything in it because I was ambivalent to the whole story anyway. I did find it odd that they marketed it as ""live-action"" when it was completely CGI. It was an animated remake of an animated movie.

Perhaps my biggest issue with this new version of The Lion King was that they didn't really change anything. It felt like the 1998 version of Psycho (1960) that recreated the whole movie shot-for-shot in color. While it was technically as close to the original movie as possible, it proved that a copy does not have the same amount of magic that makes the original a special piece of art. For the CGI version of The Lion King, there were no embellishments that other live-action remakes like Beauty and the Beast (2017) and Aladdin (2019) called upon to enhance the story.

Another issue with this CGI version is what elements were prioritized in its visuals. While many animals do have fairly expressive behaviors, they are not nearly as expressive as the exaggerated emotions present in the 2D version. As such, this version felt flat and more like the voice actors were just talking over footage from a wildlife documentary. If anything, this is a testament to the power of today's computers, as they are able to create animals that look as lifelike as possible-not that it helps tell an emotional story that well.

Technically proficient, but lacking the magic of the original, I give The Lion King 2.0 stars out of 5.",4
It seems the overall story is not up to the mark as expected. Loved the way Chris acted here.,5
"It is indeed a great making of war movie in bollywood. no doubt.but finishing is very bollywood ,emotional and dramatic as usual. they surrounded by enemy helicopter and enemy guard post and enemy cant find them from above .WOW. not a single causality.new avenger indian army.its an another bollywood reality.",5
"The first half of the movie is old and weak, the mainline plot is a bit naive and did not meet expectations",6
"I've been waiting this movie since it's trailer release and watched it as a first screening today, reason why, Jennifer Lawrence indeed, and the perfectly created trailer.

And I'm sad ... very sad

Red Sparrow isn't a good movie,and is a good movie, and that's bad, because you can see what it might have been. The story has intrigue built into it in a way that probably made perfect sense on the page; it just doesn't translate onto the big screen.

First, the movie was a different kind of spy movies, it was not the conventional James Bond type, since the spy here was not taught about weapons and explosives use, it was rather psychological, seductive manipulation type of spy.

AND THAT WAS A GOOD BEGINNING... until

Everything went wrong, the storytelling, the acting ( will pass by in a bit ), not to mention THE REMOVED SEXUAL SCENES from our country policy ,that influenced negatively the flow of the story. ( AN ACTUAL WHOLE SCENE REMOVED AND LEFT 3 SECONDS OF IT)

Jennifer Lawrence, the main reason i was waiting that movie, did a great job, it was so amazing to see her characterization of the lead character Dominika, her transformation from an innocent ballerina to a strong willed manipulative spy.

The movie's main attraction was the high intensity dramatic moments which all involved Dominika, the way she had to adjust herself into many situations.

BUT, it wasn't Jennifer's Best performance ...

The music score isn't bad after-all, it suits the tension, the first 10 Minutes was amazing.

The last 40 Minutes are well built and directed with a twisted ending .

The movie had a duration of more than 2 hours which for some audience might be a bit too long.

I overall liked the half of the movie, and the other half I was grinding.

I had high hopes of a unique spy thriller with Jennifer Lawrence playing the lead, i was somehow disappointed.

With sorrow i will rate this movie with a 7.5/10",7
Watch it if you havent. You will be hooked as soon as sherlock at watson meet for the first time.,9
"This movie about meaninglessness is, ironically, equally meaningless.

Except for tiny emotional touches of depth near the end about the only emotionally engaging thing in the film; the dysfunctional family relationships, dysfunctional family patterns and how to grow as a person and not be a heartless robot going through the monotony of a self-chosen way of life.

They should've kept to the story and cut out completely useless and nonsensical headache and seizure-inducing visuals.

I suggest watching Dirk Gently instead for way more fun (eeaao wasn't funny in the slightest Except with the rocks) and more meaningful craziness. Also Cloud Atlas.",2
Episode 1 has great intro Animation is smooth but i dont understand the red noses and red color on joints like knee or something like that. And characters are nothing different than onther casual anime. So this anime is trash imo,7
"I really struggled rating this show. I believe that the writers, producers and actors doa great job. I like the show. But for who loves dark and twisted. Also I'm a pieces and we get deep. I binged watched this one day. I had to stop watching because I was depressed. I think because I could see some of these sick and twisted things happening with humanity making decisions. However I think that's the point. Very well done.",7
Couldn't really watch it til the end.. Was so slow and boring. Cringy dialouge and stupid things sprinkled through the whole thing,4
After the letdown of Falcon/Winter Soldier this is like a breath of fresh air!! WanderVision was different and special and Loki looks to be doing that too! Amazing first episode.,9
"Earlier, this movie would have been rated less than 4-5 out of 10. You can only appreciate this movie if you are Brain Frozen for a couple of hours.

I have seen such amazing Oscar winning movies in the past and I was never suspicious it Academy Awards could ever be sold but this time it is pretty evident that either the jury was lavishly awarded or they were smoking something really weird.

All in all, a must watch movie just for the sake of understanding the sheer stupidity and hype behind it. I don't think I can ever look at the Academy Awards the same way I used to see. The lost respect for the jury might never be regained.",3
"I never review stuff but i dont get all those 9 and 10's, played the games read the books and i dont follow teh story, or rather what the hell is the story. Its a bit entertaining in the action scenes but besides thats i found it quite boring",3
"Who in this world can say this movie deserves a 10? You can love a movie like, let's say, Darkman and you know it's not for a 10. Photography, music, script are not as good as you might want, but anyway you love it. Black Panther is confusing, disordered and full of noise packed in a 2 hours film... Booooring!",3
"For starters, I have never seen the original Planet of the Apes, or the 2001 re-make, so this could be influencing my opinion. When the trailer first came out, I didn't want to see it, but I wouldn't have gone out of my way not to see it. I had no expectations for it. But I was planning on going to see a movie, with no preference, so I saw that this movie had, at first received a 7.8/10.0, and then increased to an 8.0/10.0. So, I thought I might actually enjoy it, given that the majority of movies I have seen with an 8.0/10.0 rating on IMDb were quite good. However, I was not that impressed with the overall movie. The plot summery was well thought out, I don't know if the explanation as to how the apes had grown so intelligent in the original film or novel, but I felt it gave a solid reason for the apes later advanced civilization. However, some parts just seemed just too unoriginal for the depth of, how I felt, the film was aiming for. This may have been to help attract a larger audience, but I just didn't believe a few parts fit. I felt as though it could have just been scripted to have more emotion and depth, and that the director and writers didn't fully achieve this. While the director and writers did approach this very well, I just felt like more could have been done. Overall, if you're not looking for every aspect of how a film comes together, and mostly only trying to catch a random good movie, this is probably What you would enjoy.",6
"Beginning with, I must say this movie, knit around few characters is a real winner in its own sense. No big casting, few characters and all these characters were a perfect match. The real show stealer was Vinay Pathak in the role of Bharat Bhushan. With the flavor of foolishness and innocence he cruised well along the movie, and this foolishness also brings along a hilarious range of events which is pretty enjoyable. Also Ranvir Shorey in his small role was impressive. Also the length of the movie is nearly 90 minutes which makes sure u are gripped through the entire movie. I would recommend to watch this movie with keeping your working brains aside and just NJOI !!!",10
"Jodha-Akbar is a motley of exceptional love,Terrific Action,Soulful music and splendid cinematography.It is one of the most uncommon films and a must see one if you want to witness something special.The film got combative stunts and it has everything to please everyone.But on the other side,the film is slow and lengthy.The first half of the film lasts more than 2 hrs yet the twists and turns will glue the audience to the cinema.Hrithik was awesome as Akbar and Aishwarya was majestic as Jodha.Direction was at the best.Ashutosh proved yet another blockbuster which falls in the same line of Lagaan and Swades.May be he need to concentrate on the duration of the film by chopping off few scenes.Jodha Akbar is basically a love story instead of calling it as a War based film.The film lacks pace and slow narration of few scenes and the frequent usage of Urdu language made the audience ambiguous and also boring.But at the other end,even though the film lasts for more than 3.30 min,it is gripping enough and very much bearable.The Director need to edit the film and make it as a 3 hrs film so that the audience will like this film even more.The huge star-cast of Hrithik-Ash playing as Akbar and Jodha might have evoked a lot of curiosity among the audience before the release but i must admit the film almost lived up to the expectations.The love part was dealt exceptionally well and it is the forte for the film.The film depicted the Legacy of Akbar.The film also shown that Akbar did lot good for Hindus. I don't feel,the film will hurt any religion sentiments.The director did an excellent job in maintaining the balance.A R Rahman's background score was very good and music is freshy.And adding to that,the picturisation of the songs is spectacular.Especially Azeem-O-Shaanshahensha,it is definitely one of the best ever pictured songs in the history of Indian Cinema.Overall, a film worth watching.",8
"much about this film was very good - Daniel Day Lewis's performance as Daniel Plainview was super, as was the cinematography. I thought the music by Radiohead's Johnny Greenwood's was great - creatively original yet not gratuitously so.

What let it down for me was the (lack of a) story line - at times it felt like a variety of scenes cobbled together, with only a vague sense of direction. Some scenes were just not credible - certainly not justified by the characterisation.

I was also bored, looking at my watch 3 times during the performance. hugely disappointing after all the hype.

my verdict: don't bother",4
"I never watched anime until My Hero Academia. I had thought it was kind of weird. But then, a friend showed me the first episode and I liked it. The storyline is great, the characters are cool, and their quirks are even cooler. The character designs are also pretty good. If it wasn't for My Hero Academia, I would still think that anime is weird. If you're wondering if you should watch it, watch it. I recommend sub over dub, because dub voice actors sound more cringey in my opinion. You get to see backstories and point of views of all the characters, even the villains. As they say in My Hero Academia, Go Beyond Plus Ultra!",9
"Ruined a cool character and reduced him into a useless imbecile. They literally sweep the floor with him in the second episode and a character calls him a 'clown' in the third. I'm a HUGE Loki fan but this show is SH** unfortunately. Disney stuffed up big time. 'Loki is on Crack' is what they should call this. I give it 1 star for Tom trying his best and THAT'S IT!!

UPDATED: I've never seen a character so completely annihilated. 'Loki' is a powerless and useless idiot in the first season (except for the first episode) and in season 2 he develops a personality disorder. One moment he's all pathetic and helpless then he's badass in the next episode all of a sudden and then he's just walking around in 'Crimson Peak' land in the third. Acts like he develops a medical condition in the fourth, has a manic episode in the fifth and sixth episode he looks like a full on cancer patient. What sort of mental and physical state did this messy yet unnecessarily slow show leave Tom in? Does HE have a personality disorder? His acting isn't even 'acting' sometimes. I'm a big fan of his and KNOWS that he IS a good actor but it's concerning at how BAD he can be in this show. Especially when trying too hard to be 'funny.' The writers and directors didn't guide him right and I would FULLY believe that he has mental health issues and/or cancer. That's not me trying to sound mean. I ADORE the man but this show makes me seriously concerned for his health. Both mental and physical... High-ki more like 'Low-ki.' He looks utterly dead behind the eyes and unenthused in episodes 4-6 and I DON'T LIKE IT! What has Disney DONE to Loki let alone Tom Hiddleston?! They truly DO poison everything and everyone they put their poison-covered white mitts on. Sorry Tom. I adore you so MUCH as a human and an actor and I know that you had very little input in a show that should have been your dream come true but it just didn't turn out how it was meant to be. I will always be a fan of you and the original Loki in the movies. This show just didn't sit right with me at ALL despite it having some genuinely clever ideas and creativity at times. As a TRUE fan of both you and the character, I don't like seeing you not in your right mind. Two stars for you and Loki + some creativity. That's it. Love you Tom. For all time. Always.",3
"This film is nauseating to watch, full of unnecessary profanity and constant yelling. You feel no sympathy for the protagonist as he bumbles through his gambling addiction. The soundtrack is also very incongruous with with the film. Watch at your own peril!",5
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1...""These are dark times, there's no denying""

If you read around and check out reviews on The Deathly Hallows, you'll see that the most predominant theme of the hype about this film is anticipation. Literally, the most redundant keyword in the first paragraph of any article, any review or any news report is the word ""Finally"". HP7 is tagged in its trailer as the finale of the worldwide phenomenon, the motion picture of a generation. Needless to say, it is one of the best selling stories of all times. Bottom line is, like the movie or not, it made over 300 million dollars in the first few days, and judging by how things look, this should be just a tiny fraction of its coming success.

As a result of the intense criticism on the last three Potter movies for not being worthy of the books, David Yates and Warner Bros. had to spread the finale on two long films; a decision leading to an utter cinematic and commercial success. And since the fans can't get enough, you can always give them some more on the boy who lived, the chosen one and his magical adventures that have become the prevailing obsession of millions around the globe.

The gloominess of the opening scene and the dramatic dose you get from the film's first lines spoken by Rufus Scrimgeour (Bill Nighy) tell you all about what you're in for; a journey of darkness, a daring quest of the good to defy the evil, a hopeful adventure shadowed by blood, love, tears and death. After the sad ending of late Dumbledore, it is now Harry's mission to find and destroy all the horcruxes that shield Lord Voldemort from death. As Potter accompanies his lifetime mates Ron and Hermione through their ultimate journey, they stumble across some of the most significant and powerful secrets of the wizarding world, the deathly hallows.

When you watch The Deathly Hallows Part one, you'd only wish they did the same with at least the last two books; split them in two. God knows how many scenes and characters had to be knocked out to fit in something like The Order of the Phoenix in one movie. This time they fill it in with details that even book readers may have forgotten about. The events go on sort of an inverse bell curve scenario; it starts off exhilarating and thrilling, it mellows down a bit in the middle and then it gets all fired up towards an ending that comes very quick.

It is safe to say that behind the scenes aspects, of making a movie, all played out quite well in this one. We've seen more sophisticated cinematography and art direction in previous episodes of the saga, but this still does have its eye catching moments as well. Acting, however, has evidentially elevated quite a bit here. An obvious reason for that is the age of the main three characters that have grown in shape and experience through ten years of shooting. But it is not to be ignored that Emma Watson is the one that stands out this time; her character's confusion of emotion, determination and humour were damn sure not easy to be portrayed as good as she did.

We've also seen something new to the saga in this one, and it was indeed some of the most amusing three minutes of the whole thing, an actual animated short. The tale of the three brothers narrated by Hermione plays back in a shadow, puppet- like animated sequence, that is just pretty entertaining.

In a nutshell, The Deathly Hallows Part one is merely is a lengthy introduction to the ultimate climax of this masterpiece of a story. It's truly beyond me how J K Rowling is not yet up for a Noble Prize in Literature. This film paves quite the road to what's coming ahead, and looking at that combo trailer, it gonna be quite fun. It will feel at the end as if someone has switched the TV off in the middle of your movie. You will really want some more. Too bad you'll have to wait another eight months for it.",8
"Missing logics & lack of reality.......actions sequences are undoubtedly superb....specially first fighting sequence in Dhaka that was excellent one take shot........I was hoping this will gonna something like lone saviour or 12 strong type but it's some average action movie, that's it.",6
"Thor may be the god of thunder, but the movie ""Thor"" is the god of disappointment.

The first volley of the summer movie season is a misfire -- a dull dud that fails as a spectacle, an adventure film or even a good movie.

What is most shocking is that Kenneth Branagh, a fine actor who has worked wonders with his many cinematic Shakespearean adaptations, directed ""Thor."" Here, he fails to create any sense of excitement or wonder. Nor can he inject some life into any of the characters, with the exception of the villainous Loki.

His Thor, portrayed by Chris Hemsworth, is an arrogant oaf who, without his hammer, looks more like a sullen Chippendale dancer or a lost member of the Bee Gees rather than the Norse god of thunder.

At times it seems Thor's hammer shows more personality than its owner.

"I expected that maybe because I didn't watch the original movie, I would naturally love this remake but the harsh truth is that's not the case. The visuals are great and... That's it. The movie doesn't have much to offer. The characters are quite blank; it lacks of emotions. Some songs are enjoyable but some are decent none less. I was disappointed because even though everything looks so realistic, everything seems so irrealistic and it doesn't achieve you experience something. In conclusion, some stories don't translate properly from animation to ""Live Action.""",3
"I'm a fan of intense and dark psychological thrillers that leave loose ends untied, and events open for interpretation. While that works brilliantly for David Lynch and Darren Aronofsky, this one didn't quite pull it off. The writers did an excellent job of creating a plot, only for it to never quite unfold. This was like watching a Halloween campfire story, one that someone with a very creative mind made up on the spot, come to life. It held my interest and drew me in, but to what end? What I know for certain is that there is no answer to that question. The viewer's choices are to find a way to draw some semblance of an ill equipped conclusion, take it at face value and don't try to assign meaning where it doesn't exist, or turn off the movie. I went with the first option, and as such, will need to watch it again. The fact that I actually have the desire to do so is why I gave it six stars.",6
"It's obvious that the producers wanted to milk as many episodes as they could out of the franchise. Each is far longer than the story it tells, scenes that should take a minute or two to solve , take 4-10 minutes in needless obstacles placed solely to pad the minute count. It detracts from an otherwise good story. But I found myself checking emails several times each episode as they drag things out. Many cliche plot complications abound too.it's s good series but could have been better.",7
"There's many flaws that added up during the first half of the movie, but the second half really made up for it. Adding more several new main characters in a sequel can be a hard thing, and there's quite a lot of plot-armor for the main characters and a few plot holes. However the second half wasn't flawless, but it was an incredible experience to watch that part. If i could rate the first half and second half individually i would rate the first 3/10 and second 8/10, but overall it was a nice experience that could arguably be 6/10. However I'm setting the score on 7. The final score might be what it is because i am slightly biased.",7
Extremely boring. Nothing happens in this movie. Complete waste of time.,4
"The movie is okay if you wanna have a laugh and entertainment.

The script is a bit weird but it has it point.

Goslint and Margot are so good in their characters.

The first 45 are a bit intensive and laughable. But ""the second half"" are enjoyable with a fun and more realistic view.

Barbie shows and tells the hard lite of a woken in the real world but also the hard world of Ken in the barbie world.

The moviemaker takes up the life of barbies that our childhood was obsessed with. Clothes,cars,houses and characters in a perfect way.

The movie has a cirkus plot and a bit raily but in the end it is OK.",6
Bangladesh isn't mafia country and our force isn't like that.. Our children is not taking gun with them at road..,1
"Overall I enjoyed the show, the story was ok, nothing we haven't seen before, boring fight scenes. Tom and Owen played their character wonderfully, they were the best part of Loki.

However, why why why did we need a ""strong"" female lead? Her character is just simply annoying, boring and dumb. I feel like the show would have been better without Sylvie.

I didn't regret that I've watched it, but I was a bit angry at the finale of the show, it was a boring ending.",5
"While I can appreciate its moral complexities, the absolutely brilliant acting, which includes Pacino's most subtle and nuanced performance, and Coppola's fine directorial work, ""The Godfather: Part II"" doesn't have the narrative drive of its predecessor.

Also, the split narrative, bouncing between the history of how the Corleones gained power, and Michael's continuing moral decline, doesn't quite mesh for me. I'm open to the idea that I'm missing something, though I've enjoyed other films with multiple narratives, but Part II seems glued together instead of fitting organically.

It's still a fine film, and though I'd rank it lower than it is currently, it would definitely be in the top seventy-five.",8
"Didn't live up to the hype. Yes, Leonardo DiCaprio puts in a great performance, and yes, we get transported into a zone of debauchery and obscenity which we would never have imagined could really exist. But for what purpose?

In some ways this is a non-story. Jordan Belfort cheats a lot of people, gets filthy rich, then gets caught. But he doesn't change ... at least he's not portrayed in the film as regretting any of his actions. My point is that the main character doesn't *develop*, so it's a non-story. Which I guess proves that the guy is a good salesman, considering how many copies of the non-story of his life that he's sold.

So although the movie works on the voyeuristic level, and to some extent the comedic level, it's fairly base entertainment. It's certainly not a movie which appeals to the mind or the heart. The one highlight is an incredible couple of scenes towards the end when Jordan and Donnie are off their faces: Jordan has to get to his car and drive it even though he can't walk, then he fights Donnie for the telephone.

I would have rated the film lower, but for the good work of DiCaprio, the inclusion of Margot Robbie, and her good work also.",4
"The nod toward ""A Quiet Place"" acknowledged, this one has enough of a decent premise to go the distance on its own: some strange presence walks among us, and to gaze upon it is to go mad. Sounds downright biblical. To be sure, there are some decent moments of tension to be found within its two hour running time; and overall it is worth the watch. That said, it could have been much better.

My problem is mainly with the writing and casting. The film's sensibilities are really a throw-back to such 1980s fare as ""The Thing"" or ""The Abyss"". To that end, the first half of the movie plays like a Hollywood idealization of society at large, where a conveniently multi-racial group of survivors hole up in a stylish Monrovian home to bond (and quibble) over their common enemy. There are the usual movie fights (Malkovich's white-guy Libertarian streak vs. The communal approach of his erstwhile companions). And the usual cross-racial movie bonding (Rhodes and Bullock exchanging deep dark fears in a not-entirely-convincing manner).

But in the end it is Bullock's role that matters. This is her vehicle, and she does a decent job of playing the unintentional single mom dropped in the middle of a terror, trying to survive and save those around her as well. But decent is not quite enough to carry the script for two hours; and I found myself largely uninvested in her plight for the last twenty minutes of the film.

I cannot help but feel the casting was done at a Los Gatos committee table. (""It's 2018. Bullock is 1996, and we need some 2018. Can we get Machine Gun Kelly? Call his agent."") The draw power of some of the stars is undeniable. But the choices also drained the movie of its potential power.",6
"In blockbuster category.. this movie outclass the movies like OSO starring SRK and sawariya.. JWM was not hyped much like others and still movie is powerful with all entertainment.. Farahkhan and SLB should learn some lessons form such films.. they both are returning to their dumb creativity.. This movie is the first one which gives good impression about Shaid.. and even kareena as well.. First time kareena did some meaningful role! Movie has good message and movie reall holds the audience from start to beginning unlike OSO and sawariya. Though this film can not be compared to Manorama, Johny gaddar and bhul bhulaiyaa but in terms of love/romance this movie is far better than OSO/sawariya and others in 2007",10
"It started off ok. Things began to go wrong with the police chase in France. Hundreds of policemen all able to find and chase him at the same time and with the exact same driving and riding skills as top agent, Ethan Hunt. I won't spoil it for anyone, but the last twenty minutes, which was the most jam-packed with action, was the most boring. Boring because you knew exactly what was going to happen. I think this series of films has had its day. I've increase my score to four stars; it was two. Tom Cruise is a good actor. The script and direction was woeful. I think Simon Pegg is the wrong shape for this hole too.",4
"I remember when a 'Barbie' movie was announced thinking to myself what a disaster that is going to be. So I was pretty surprised when the film finally came out and the feedback was glowingly positive for the most part. I don't think the film was as good as some people have made it out to be, but it was certainly a lot better than the concept had any right to be.

The film is at its best when it is trying to be light-hearted and funny. There are some genuinely funny and clever jokes in this film. Simple stuff most of the time, but done in a way that actually made me laugh out loud. If the movie had kept this tone for the entire run time it could've been a true classic.

But in the second half of the movie things change. It decides it needs to make a point and the movie gets weighed down and loses steam as it tries to do this, ultimately limping to the finish line.

At it's best this film is very good. It gets every drop out of the concept and for that it should be commended. 7/10.",7
"Typical for these days series, with no solid storyline, characters inspired from successful productions and low actors.",5
"I expected that from season 2 they will finally jump into normal plot from books, after all there we can finally see more of Yen and Ciri so there is no need to change that much. Ah how wrong I was... Season 2 is no longer adaptation but something else. Only thing that remained from Witcher are names, characters act different, their plot is entirely different. If it would be at least changed into something better but Ciri's training, studies, bonding with witchers and her new adoptive parents that will help her and motivate her in future escalated events are replaced with mediocre plot and monster fight in every episode etc. I feel like I am watching later seasons of GOT where deep dialogues from books were changed into effort to shock audience in every frame.

Actors and production are doing wonderful job but with this script it's unwatchable and insult to fanbase.",1

This was a solid follow up to the original Iron Man and the movie that started the whole MCU. There is a lot of great action scenes and some awesome humor. The plot was good but i still can't take Mickey Rourke seriously as a genius scientist and the whole backstory of his character was predictable and dull. The villain was kind of a miss but there is still some fun moments and lots of action.,7
"As the title says, I've just finished the series. Now, don't get me wrong, it's enjoyable and quite watchable. It doesn't come close to GOT, it doesn't come close to the tragic last season of GOT. The effects are average at best, the acting (aside from Cavill) is below par.. the dialogue is cheesey.. but for me the worst part is just how much the show jumps around in its timelines. It does t distinguish between timelines, characters don't seem to age between these timelines making it even harder to determine what's going on and It appears that the series spans decades (I think) this making it harder to actually follow what's happening throughout the series. All of a sudden, a character that passed away at the beginning is alive and well again and you then realise that the timeline has jumped again! Cavill is dragging this show, dragging it with all his strength and if it wasn't for him it wouldn't be as popular as it is and in honesty I'm a little confused as to why it's as revered as it is.",6
"Good background music- its leave it's test in the mind even after it finishes The song was good and the choice of not having too many songs is right .

Very well structured script ; a bit more romance beside the lack could make it a bit interesting Nice direction and acting from every one A must watch movie for thriller zone Art and cinematography was excellent The dark background suited the story Fight direction could have been a bit better but the story has given well cover of the lacking Raj acted above standard ... possibly one of the best role / acting this year the industry had . Other acting was also good.",9
The writing is atrocious. The active is egregious. The accents are laughable. Riddles with inconsistencies. Unrealistic. All around nonsense. A total disgrace.,5
"Good show, loved Sam and Bucky - not a big fan of protagonist.",8
"A blockbuster, star studded extravaganza with a somewhat imaginative yet an overwhelmingly more confusing and contrived premise. The audience is expected to enter this contrived sci-fi?, dream world where Juno is able to architect dreams (why her character I didn't pick up), and Leo's character can extract information or do the more complicated thing of putting an idea into someones mind ""inception"". Continuously saturated with fun, ""A""list actors one after another; Leo, Michael Caine, Juno, Joseph Gordan-Levitt, Ken Watanabe these actors were used as mere tools to create a blockbuster and drive the movie forward. As we get more and more immersed in the world of inception we feel no interesting characterizations despite all this acting talent, everyone is one tone, which makes you care less whether or not Leo is still dreaming at the end or not. After this matrixy like premise is explained, we are transported into this world, of entering and altering people's subconscious in dreamland. It has similar overtones to the Matrix (of heavily explaining ulterior worlds within our own), but this premise was far less fascinating.

After the complicated premise is established the movie gets into the story. Leo has powers to extract information or alter someone's thinking by entering another individual's subconscious dreamworld. He gets an assignment from a powerful mogul to exploit and alter a competitor's mind through his dream. If Leo succeeds he gets to travel back to the states where he has been deported. The movie did not do a good job connecting the premise of how people enter dreams and plant ideas to the story. OK so this idea of conducting inception in dream world is established but does it have to get into 3-4 dream sequences? Its more complicated to do inception than steal info out of someones mind so something more has to be done than getting into people's minds on one level but confusingly layering dreams within dreams within dreams, confusing establishing various rules with this more complicated inception world (I barely understood the easier stealing info world), confusingly adding side stories of his wife he doesn't want to let go of and therefore retains in his personal dream and making confusing action and fighting (who they are fighting is also part of the puzzle) made it much too much. These things are actually explained but they are explained so briefly and rapidly along with many other ""rules"" we have to accept that it became a lot, easy to miss and not well put together.

More than imagination it was randomness....Why 3 levels why not 8 or 2 why does it have to be 3 levels (the movie I think explained this but what Im critical of is the imaginative part, it was just too random to get really into), if Juno can flip the grid of Paris why cant she do something to make it easy for them to accomplish their goal. The limitations or freedoms were not clear. What it utlimately came down to was an action movie. Definitely after a second viewing the pieces may more clearly fit, but for me at least, the puzzle will remain askew.",5
"These series are underrated it deserves at least 9+/10, every single episode is entertaining, the characters are fantastic specially Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham. The dialog is written perfectly, it seems really smart and it is. If you love these kind of series i definitely recommend it it is worth your time. Overall mind blowing.",10
"In less than ten minutes into the film, you get goosebumps all over your body. You get into high-spirits and then the story of The Flying Sikh begins...

It talks more about perseverance and how man can excel even in the worst conditions than the actual atheltic history. Milkha Singh, wonderfully portrayed by the talented Farhan Akhtar is one character that induces inspiration. Akhtar now has totally proved himself as a successful actor. His demeanor is appreciable and the film does showcase his hard-work. Supporting cast is very good as well. But, the actresses were sidelined which is very apt for a bio-film.

Most of the story is told in flashbacks and there is where the screenplay works. It grabs your attention. The childhood story MAY bore you a little, but every other biopic has to be honest. Much like last year's Paan Singh Tomar, BMB does have lots of surprises in store. The relation of every detail is astronomical and very well adapted. Fresh writing, inventive editing & below-average SFX/CGI makes me wanna give it a humble 8.0/10.

The songs & score are energetic which do cause an urge that we run with the athletes on-screen. That is the power of Rakeysh O Mehra and his crew. I was blown away by Akhtar's bod and his expressions. Humor touches the script at times, as well.

Overall, an entertaining biography which is well-written and well- executed. Only, the running time of 190 minutes COULD'VE... could've been shortened. Otherwise, everybody rise for this cinema of massive potential.

BOTTOM LINE: A very good entertainer with mentoring prowess. It feels good that the team has brought an epitome into reel. Kudos!

"When I heard that a ""Barbie"" movie was coming out, I had absolutely no intention of seeing it, never mind watching it in an actual movie theatre. I had every Barbie doll as a young girl in the 60's, even Allen. Barbie was definitely NOT my role model, and I am thankful for the live women who were. My daughter went to see it with friends last week and convinced me to see it, because it wasn't what I would expect. I am so glad that I did not wear mascara! I was in tears laughing yet totally moved by the message. A movie that is both inspiring and funny is truly rare. The cast and the message were perfect. Talk about ""Girl Power""!",10

"Now I know why I was avoiding this trash for so long. I never really had the motivation to watch this when it came out and the only reason I watched this now is that I was bored and the plot seemed interesting. The plot is great on paper but the film as a whole is the most horrible thing I've watched in my life. It's so boring, so badly made that I was constantly cursing myself for deciding to watch this. But I had to complete it somehow or the other as I had started it and so I did. I watched this garbage in its entirety and it's been one of the worst choices I've made in a while. How do you take an interesting idea and turn it into something so bad, so trite and unwatchable? Well, beats me. This director and writer/ writers should have stopped making films after this. At least I hope they did as this was complete torture. Really really bad! Avoid at all costs.",1
"I've tried on three previous occasions to get in to this and abandoned them all. Last night I managed to get halfway through ep 3 and had to give it up. I'm a lifelong sci-fi and fantasy fan but I've never found a story so hard to get in to. I know critical acclaim has been reasonable but it's not for me. It seems to me that Marvel/Disney+ are trying to make 'super heroes' for the sake of it, just keep churning them out, never mind the story line and they will follow seems to be the order of the day. As far as I'm concerned DC still rules.",1

"Let's in general say that I came out of the film about 20% satisfied from Venom because of Venom itself which was ""almost"" the best thing in the film in Vfx and entertainment and not much as a character which went with the naive current of the film. Weak picture with the bluish dark effect in most of the scenes to give you the dark feeling which was noisy for me. My gosh, The story was just bad, The first 36 minutes building till we reach to Venom was disastrous , Eddie's relation with Anne (Michelle Williams) and it's very fast progress in three or four shots which didn't even make an impact for it's existence with Anne's character completely neglected and was unnecessary for the film with such the worst screenplay written for characters you can hear and I can't say that Michelle was even acting. Tom is the only interesting thing in the film of course with an average performance for the character that I didn't use to from him but I can say that it's the story along with the bad direction. The Vfx were very silly and quite disastrous in actions scenes but for Venom's design and appearance along with some fight scenes. The music written was very ordinary. The worst beginning I could imagine for the film because of the Vfx along with the story and how it was all done. Also the villain performed by Riz who is a weak actor for me with such a terrible performance and didn't even understand what he liked about the character. The cinematography just didn't fell right in the shots it took and the action scenes with the bad editing which didn't bring a fine picture with noticeable details cause of too much cuts and the scenes of showing off in the movie was not well done though it's good. The relation between Eddie and Venom and it's fast progress and the unreasonable turns it took rapidly with the reactions of Eddie and the most silly plot which led to the end from Venom wasn't convincing and he wasn't presented much powerful as I thought it would be. Also the story had that replayed scenes in different situation like the one when his neighbor was playing loud music with the silly angry reaction he took which could be understood If it was with Venom but it was before him and then happened again with the same reaction but with Venom so, are you telling me you are kinda stupid!?. Also the scene where the editing copied WWE and did that triple replay of a damn car hitting the front of two damn cars blocking the way for what was the replay I ask , did you see it the most dangerous move in the film!!. Finally , some black comedy came out of Venom which was pretty funny along with the entertaining yet not reasonable and fast relation with Eddie turned out to be fun and entertaining after all and even If the movie was R rated , it wouldn't have been better. 4.5/10 for the average Vfx and entertainment of Venom with Tom hardy and the surprises in the film and being harsh with the rating because of the high expectations and wasting a story where the hero is Villain but doesn't mean that you watch it and have enjoy in the end.",5
"I was very pleasantly surprised by this film. You could see the plot coming a mile away but it was executed with such easy panache that you can forget how obvious the plot is, and just enjoy the ride.

One of the things I liked about the film is they managed the unusual feat of making the whole thing believable. The characters seemed genuine, even the millionaire lothario pop singer, and the action did not seem forced. There was just the right amount of sentiment, it was not gushy, yet there was the feeling the characters really did care for each other. I am not sure if the dialogue had any element of improvisation, but the exchanges, especially at dinner had a sound to them as if they were actually communicating, and not just waiting for their next line.

For me, the two most surprising performances were from Mila Kunis, who not only had a captivatingly cheeky smile, but brought some depth to her character, and Russell Brand, who made his character seem like a nice bloke despite all the very obvious flaws and callous attitude. I do suspect that Russell had an advantage, though, in that I imagine that is how he is normally!

I have seen some criticism of the film for shoddy camera work, but I didn't notice anything amiss, though I admit I was too wrapped up in the film to really notice. Other have commented on the fact that Jason bares all in a few scenes. For me as a bloke it wasn't anything that I don't see every morning, night and several times during the day, so wasn't bothered. You'd have thought from all the fuss, that he was starkers for the whole thing. In actuality it was only a couple of shots. Not really worth all the furore. The girl sitting next to me seemed quite shocked by it though. I think she was a bit excitable.

In summary, I found it a very funny film (after the first ten minutes or so) with a suitable amount of sentiment, and a pleasing feel-good factor. I would recommend.",9
"If you enjoy sci-fi, don't believe all the hype out there about this film. While visually stunning, the attempt at realism is horrid! So many elements were just SO completely unrealistic that it made the movie totally unbelievable, and NOT in a good way. The acting was OK and only because Sandra Bullock is great at showing emotion just by breathing but other than that, the story was COMPLETELY lacking. I have to say I enjoyed Apollo 13, Armageddon, and even Oblivion more than this piece of space garbage.

Save your $$ and go see Hubble 3D at the California Science Center instead if you need a fix of stunning earth views. Then, you can see how real astronauts work.",3
"Anyone who cannot see, enjoy, and appreciate:

-the subtlety of this movie,

-the subtlety of the performances, esp. Frances McDormand's,

-the unexpected justaposition of comedy with serious drama,

-the deliberate pace of this movie,

-the humor in regional accents that are rarely heard in major films,

-the bizarre disconnectedness of the town residents from reality,

-the richness of the colors of the pallette with which the Coens worked,

-the nearly perfect storytelling of this movie,

....will never enjoy this movie. But if you find yourself appreciating even one of those items above, then you are on your way to understanding why this small movie will live on long and prosperously after the pompously presumptuous 'English Patient' has been relegated to its deserved obscurity and finally dethroned from its dubious place as 1996's Best Picture.

"I'm underwhelmed with the visuals & the toned-down violence.

The story sorta pulls you in, but not the imagery. I'm really disappointed in the lack of quality imagery. Most of the outdoor scenes resemble a nuclear winter, especially by the ocean...as if 172 years pre-GOT there were no clear sky's, only fog. Is the budget not accommodating great scenery or real landscapes?? I find it annoying.

In GOT, S1, Ep1, from the moment it opens, it grabs you...the dialog is non-existent, but the visuals are clear and inviting. The scenery is crisp. It feels real...as if I could be there, witnessing.

Plus, HOD has toned down the violence. Every violent scene this season shows the tail end of the event, or it's viewed from a distance. Is this to appease the ""woke idiots""??

Give us what we want!",6

"Although not the most original of plots (Most direct and noticeably comparison being the 2017 Logan film), it still uses it to explore a engrossing and devastating world filled with emotionally complex characters that seem to only grow deeper with each episode, Pedro Pascal seems to only reveal his true talents with each and passing episode and Bella Ramsey masterfully depicts a teenager who has a hard time listening to and following orders. Their chemistry is amazing and highly relatable to anyone who has difficulty talking to their father, each episode also masterfully and creatively connects to the series main theme that makes it's obvious once you know what it is. (Hint: The theme has something to do with love). I'm so glad to hear that the dreaded video game curse has finally be broken after so many attempts!!",8

Overall this shows pacing, action, acting and story is very strong however the finale is messy like wandavision. There is one character who felt like they were evil for the reason of being evil. Lead actors Stan and Mackie do an amazing job, Bruhl steals many scenes, Kellymen is a nice mcu addition as for Emily Vancamp she does the best she can with what is a underwritten small role.",7

"Someone wrote: ""Amsterdam comes roaring out of the gate with a fast-paced, quirky, charming, and unique mystery of the likes of Sherlock Holmes or Knives Out.""

Ja, and all of these kind of US films suffer from the same thing: caricatures in stead of people, over the top in stead of really smart or witty. Its never above the level of a 6-7... US actors are usually that way, for (educated) Europeans rather unreal, comic book like, effect driven, too much...

""The list of celebrities and actors continues to grow as almost every face in this movie is another a-lister making an entertaining appearance.""

Which doesn't equal 'great acting'. Great acting is, in my opinion, that the actors make u forget there is acting going on - in many US movies, one always sees the acting (especially with the likes of mr. Rock, a standard caricature, like his role in Rustin...)

too bad, the movie is watchable, sometimes funny, or creative - the artwork is nice enough... but great movie? No. An 8 or 9, hilarious....

"" Amsterdam had so much potential but floundered in its attempts to be different and unique. The film's best part was Michael Shannon and Mike Myers' quirky bird-loving spies."" Yeah, that was funny, in an american way....

Christian Bale logged another amazing performance, as expected.

I agree, he was on a role...

"I,for one,dont see whats all the hype about this film.As i watched it,i had hard time not to fall asleep and also not to get all dizzy from the special effects.This movie is nothing but a bunch of effects tangled in an unconvincing and unoriginal story.Reeves does ok job,so does Fishbourne,but i have a hard time accepting Carrie Anne Moss as a serious actress.You just cant be in ""Models inc."" and then do serious stuff.Well,you can but then dont expect you are gonna have an easy job convincing everyone that you can do well in a serious role.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, is the third Potter film to be helmed by director David Yates. Since Yate's catastophe he called, ""Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"" got bad reviews, he kicked it up a notch, directing beautifully in, ""Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince"". This time, in Deathly Hallows, he kicks it up about 12 notches. Beautifully filmed, this Potter film is without question, the best. The film really is brilliantly acted as well, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint really give it their all in this sometimes emotional and dreary entry. Radcliffe is still mediocre though, and we can't help but feel that his acting is kind of weak at points. But Helena Bonham Carter's over-the-top Bellatrix counteracts that weakness, even though she is in the film for only a small period of time. Alan Rickman as Snape, is barley even there in this film. We see him once in the film's killer opening sequence, but then he vanishes.

In this Potter installment, Harry and friends must destroy the evil Lord Voldemort once and for all. They set out on a dangeous and life threatening mission to find Horcruxes, each an object where Voldemort had split his soul and hid. If you are a Potter virgin, please do not go see this film. You wil be baffled by the countless names and places included in the story.

Gorgeously lensed by the magnificent cinematographer, Eduardo Serra, this film is a lot more sullen and more bleak than the others, which is very apparent considering the material worked with. It seems less magical and more real life. The early technicolor palet that chris Columbus often used is a farewell to us. This is the prelude to the last Potter finale, which will be in theaters July of 2011, so it does feel unfinished. But that is the adventure in the Potter films. You never know what your gonna get.",9
I dont unterstand how a movie like this can be released without the propper editing. Worst cuts i've seen in a big picture like this. So many flaws and eye capturing mistakes it makes me wonder if there was a person with an actual vision on set.

If you appreciate decent movies with decent story telling i'd wonder if you can sit through this waste of money...,2

Bill Murray was very average, the only funny parts were seen on the trailer, Don't rent this movie, just go out and hit yourself in the head with a book, you will find much more enjoyment out of that and it will be less painful. The girl Character should of stayed in Montana with the horse whisperer, The actors shouldn't even put this movie on the resume. Bill Murray's character was bored with the commercial he was making, that is how Bill Murray acted in this movie, They should of had the two main characters ride a motorcycle together, at least that would be better than watching them be bored. Don't rent this movie, run as fast as you can away from the video store.",1
"An amazing nostalgia driven story, but also mysteriously thought provoking and scary. Stranger Things gives us a mash up of several cult hits like, The Goonies, IT, and ET. The show always seems to end an episode by sinking its claws a little deeper each time and really has you caring for these characters by the end.IE(Hop). Winona Ryder returns in great form and delivers a great performance. Her range of emotions of a grief stricken and angry mother shines through. David Harbour also shines as his character, but I think the real shining performance was those of the four main kids, who are all great and feel genuinely real of time period.(80's) Great fun and well recommended. Netflix keeps knocking it out the park with great intriguing stories.",9
This movie stands strong till the end.. One of the finest movies.,10
"Edit: the last about 15 minutes in the show knocked it down from a 10 to an 8 for me. The ending kinda ruined it for me - it just didn't make much sense. Looking forward to seeing how everything is resolved in season 2!

Proves that a show can be silly while being socially conscious. Absolutely brilliant. Very ""Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew""esque. Laughed, cried, whole 9 yards. Think the Supernatural episode where they go to the Sam/Dean role playing convention.",7
"While this film has good points which others have already mentioned, I wanted to point out some points that really irritated me.

The #1 thing is that this film would shed tears for the shooting of George Wallace, an opportunistic politician who curried racist favour for his own cheap political gain, yet have NOT ONE mention of Martin Luther King in any way, shape or form. This was even though he was working in Alabama at the same time when Forrest was growing up and it would be certainly more believable for Forrest to meet King than 90% percent of the celebrities he meets in his life. I'm not asking him to meet Malcolm X, considering he was working in New York at the time. Yet, King is ignored as if he didn't exist.

Second, the cross country marathon screams of being tacked on. I fail to see any humour in it and my eyes rolled how the media completely ignores in their reports that this ""mystery marathonner"" is an All American football player, a Congressional Medal of Honour recipient, a ping pong company spokesman and a millionaire owner of a fishing fleet. You would figure this would make a lot of hay for any reporter writing this up about a man who can do all this and have a IQ of less than 75.",6
"I learned of the ""Ultimate Matrix"" DVD set last year, near Christmas, which was undoubtedly what it was intended to be purchased for. Since I'm in sobriety, as of River Phoenix's autopsy signature date, November 15, 1993, I have taken a keen interest in his, his family's, his friends', and colleagues' histories. He was with Keanu Reeves, as many of you know, in ""My Own Private Idaho,"" in the early 90s, where they did drugs to do the sex scenes, from which River never fully recovered, and this ultimately led to his OD, outside The Viper Room, in LA, on Halloween morning, 1993.

I could write on and on about the ""Matrix"" series, which is most likely what Keanu Reeves is now known best for--and before that, it was the ""Bill and Ted"" movies. He and River tried to ""escape"" their teen idol images, by being in Gus Van Sant's horrible movie.

I have a limited time, on-screen, at present, as I'm at the library and I need to get to a meeting in Mill Valley, now.

To ""cap,"" I find the ""Matrix"" movies to be ""too violent and sexy."" It should be a rating--and then, the movie wouldn't get made that way.

I just did a little ""research"" on the Wachowskis, at this humongous and prominent site, where I've been harassed routinely for my November 15th story, and I just found out that Andy Wachowski's wife, Thea Bloom, filed for divorce in late 2002, because he was leaving her for a ""professional dominatrix,"" who had made him his ""slave!""

Keanu Reeves ""owes an apology"" to us, if I may be so bold. I didn't think I'd ""demand"" this, publicly, as I write him, ""clandestinely,"" via Paulie Kosta of Becky, the band they're in together with Rebecca Lord and Rob Mailhouse, but I never hear back directly anyway, so here goes!

I could get much more ""deep,"" as I just heard the commentary by Cornel West and Ken Wilbur, with which I did not always agree, since I feel you cannot ""justify"" such violence and graphic sex in movies. Most out of Hollywood are this way for me--and the sex scenes in ""My Own Private Idaho"" led indirectly to River's OD. Is anyone in sobriety as of that, but me? I just think these people were ""lucky"" if they survived the Wachowskis.

What is not covered in the very long DVD ""ultimate"" series is the fact that Jennifer Syme, Keanu Reeves' girlfriend, who gave stillbirth to their daughter, Ava Archer, on Christmas Eve, 1999, is not mentioned. After their ""break-up"" over this, shortly thereafter, she died in an apparent DUI, where she was the only one driving, after coming from Marilyn Manson's mansion in LA, where there'd been a party! She'd been with Reeves, apparently, just the day before, having lunch in San Francisco at Crepes on Cole, which I've never heard of, near where the ""burly man"" scene was being shot for ""Matrix Reloaded,"" among others in Alameda County! Manson's obscene music is on the first movie's soundtrack, and a video of it is included in the DVD series, unbelievably!

Jennifer's mother, Maria St. John, sued Manson for ""wrongful death,"" about a year later, but he apparently has so much money that I think she ""lost,"" since he denied charges.

The ""architect"" scene was filmed at that time, and it was later used in an MTV movie awards ceremony introduction, starring Justin Timberlake, which was ""foul"" about women, in this case Trinity--and ""made fun"" of Gloria Foster's role in the movies, too. Reeves gave his approval to use his image from these scenes, and it was not ""OK"" with me!

Gloria Foster died of a sudden heart attack, during shooting, and Aaliyah died in a plane crash, too, that year, as well as the terrorist attacks occurring.

A reason I am ""concerned"" about Reeves, in particular, when it comes to the ""Matrix"" series, is because he has been in a number of DUIs, most notably one in the 80s, where he shut his headlights off on his bike in Toganga Canyon, where he apparently ""lost his spleen,"" according to the ""Hardball"" directors' commentary! Hence, my ""demand"" for an apology!

One good thing that has come of all my writing is that last fall, Johnny Depp finally gave his controlling share of The Viper Room to Anthony Fox's daughter. Fox ""disappeared mysteriously,"" after suing Depp for money. A judge was trying to shut down the club. I wrote him about my getting into sobriety, as of River's autopsy, ""coincidentally."" I don't think it's a ""coincidence,"" really. If you look at this date in history, it is ""significant,"" and I feel the spirits convened for me.",2

Lost in Space was about a family on an exploration mission, not a mass exodus of the earth, at least it reflects our current path more so than exploration for the pursuit of knowledge. Maureen as a vindictive mother rubs me the wrong way. Dr. Smith could have been left out as portrayed in this rendition for my money.

The first half of the film is fascinating. It has great ideas about what the future might be like considering the current levels of greed and over-population. There is also much adventure in the space mission and the right amount of sentiment of a family being separated. Matthew McConaughey shows brilliance and depth in a scene where he quietly shows how much he misses his loved ones. Playing his school-age daughter, Mackenzie Foy is no slouch either.

The second half is interesting at best; muddled, too busy and overlong at worst. There is also a major characters whose fate is left unknown to the point of almost being trivialized.

The movie is good in many ways but had the potential to be more.",6
"A passing superhero movie with Hardy, where Hardy plays Hardy. It's like the first part, with its half-dead idea and very cowardly implementation, only now the number 2 is in the title. Not to say that there were expectations, but still the interest was encouraging - maybe they would really take a concept with an antihero forced to devour villains, give it an adult rating and spice it up with the incredible charisma of Woody Harrelson? Besides, what a cool opportunity to dissect the brain of a psychopathic maniac through the prism of his relationship with the symbiote.

In general, there was somewhere to roam... It didn't work out. Or rather, they didn't want to do anything. They wanted to rivet a boring video sequence with a sad Tom Hardy, not really trying to act out some emotions, a flat Woody with an even flatter motivation, some screaming witch and a typical superhero girlfriend. Oh, yes, there is also a voiceover 'humorist' for the audience and hilarious sketches of conflicts directly between Venom and Hardy. In short, it's just boring, insipid and not interesting.",7
"This movie I got to say is the most endearing & has some superb performances from Shahrukh and Kajol.It is undoubtedly one of the most moving & meaningful movies which has been spurned out from Bollywood.Moving away from all stereotyped roles,acting,storyline, this movie places its flag of its own.All credits to Karan Johar for telling such a complex subject in such simple words.

Brilliant cinematography,direction & performance makes this film worth watching not one but many times.The characters stay with you for a long time even after you leave the theater.SRK is Awesome in his acting along with Kajol supporting her character brilliantly.SRK never for once loses his grip on the character despite playing a patient of Asperger Syndrome which is one of the most challenging role played by any Indian actor or any Hollywood actor like Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind.

Go Watch this Soul-Tearing movie which forces you to re-think about the myths of religion,classes,communities & genders in which the human beings are classified every now & then.All this along with entertaining you all the way with some very cute funny scenes.Take the message from this movie & pass it along to everybody.This is what this movie deserves.

A Gr8 movie.Must watch.

10/10.",10
"First two seasons i followed and was exited for the next episode.

Then season 3 came... and let me tell you. It was like its not even the same serie anymore. Did they change people who wrote the script? Othervise they must have been constantly drunk while making the plot.

Its so bad and stupid, I dont even have words to describe it.

First two seasons I would rate 7/10. But because third season is so incredibly bad and destroyed everything. This is not worth more then 1/10.",1
"As fans of the genre know Annabelle is a possessed doll that if not contained will caused evil spirits to be released. I enjoyed the acting, the story, and pace of the movie.",7
"Well, I just got back from the Superbad screening tonight (thanks to the folks at MySpace) and I must say that this is a very special teen movie. It has that same element of transporting you back to your high school days that the original American Pie had. Michael Cera does great as the awkward teenage kid, basically a reprise of his role as George Michael on Arrested Development. But it is Jonah Hill who absolutely rules this movie! He had me laughing from the beginning to the end. His ""silly fat-kid"" character is the only one in the history of movies that shows what it truly feels like to be the funny fat kid in high school. I should know, I was one! Gosh, I just can't believe how well he portrayed the unmitigated hell that was P.E.! Emma Stone and Martha Maclsaac also give very realistic depictions of teenage girls. None of that fake, over the top nonsense. The most over-the-top character was ""McLovin"" himself, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, who did a great job of having us laugh with him as much as we did at him.

All in all, I think that everyone should be sure to watch this movie when it comes later this summer.",10
"A perfect execution of a crime thriller telling the story of a serial killer in a convincing manner. There were a couple of scenes that could scare you to the verge of the seat Guys, please do watch this movie in theaters this is the one of the best tamil movies i have ever seen.Performances are natural in this psycho crime thriller. #VishnuVishal gives his heart and soul for #Ratsasan. #Ghibran's background score uplifts the film to a whole new level. Screen play is the backbone of this movie #RamKumar direction is very good in this movie.",9
"In every way and form this show just isn't good, and it totally misses the mark of the games intensity and magnificent story telling.

Most of the shows scenes are taken from the games filler interactive gaming scenes, where you as a player have to explore survive for moving between the games magnificent cutscenes. These cutscenes are what makes this game so special, and which should have been the TV-shows real focus, but aren't.

Instead it seems the show writers are more focused on the possibility to drag the show out as long as possible by focusing on the in-between and until now almost solely focus the show on game fillers. There is a little storytelling in every episode, and just the 3'rd episode tries to expand on one of the games stories, in an surprisingly sensitive, well written and well played way.

The two main characters are badly casted, especially Ellie which totally misses the mark of the games portrait of a young girl trying to figure out her place in the world, and this role she unwillingly has been thrown into, based on her genes.

But seriously, if you really want to experience this fantastic story of The Last of Us, play the game yourself, or at least watch one of the many gameplays of the game instead, you will thank me...",4
"First season starts with a bang when one kid- Will Byers, goes missing and this is followed by more people disappearing and appearance of a mysterious girl. While searching for Will his family and friends get to know about some experiments and an alternate reality upside down which is threatening their existence. It also sets up the character of Eleven, where it was shown how and what powers she develops. Major part of first season is about character development and the characters trying to unravel the mystery behind disappearances.

Second season is about the creatures from upside down hitting back and unraveling past of mysterious girl- Eleven and development of new chemistry between Police chief Jim Hopper and Eleven. They could have easily avoided episode 7 where Eleven meets her sister Kali who possess power to make people see or not see something unless , she has some Important role in upcoming seasons, It hampered the momentum built in episode 5 and 6 which continued in episode 8 and 9.

My favorite scenes from season 1 => When Mike's younger sister sees the creature from upside down => The way Lucas get into commando mode to get back his friend Will => Fight between Will's Brother- Jonathon and Steve

My favorite scenes/episodes from Season 2 => Chapter 5 Dig Dug where Jim Hopper get stuck in alternate reality is the best episode of both the seasons - It gave me Goosebumps => When the creature hits back i.e. episode 6 and episode 8

The group of Kids - Will Byers, Dustin , Mike and Lucas are shown as nerds and do very well especially Dustin who on first look appeared disgusting but as the story goes on he is one of the cutest and funniest character and not as bad as i found him on 1st look. Will didnt have much to do in Season 1 but in season 2 he is pretty good as someone being taken over by creature or virus. Mike is the one i found least interesting but he is shown as someone who is always there for his friends. Lucas is fun throughout but best part is in second season - his chemistry and love spark with the new girl who enters their group - Maxi and his banter with younger sister. Maxi is shown to be asocial and recluse due to her broken family and abusive step brother but once she spends some time with Lucas and Dustin , she endures even ill-treatment by Mike just to be the part of their group. She is the coolest in their group.

Jonathon - Brother of Will Byers, plays a weirdo , freak who love photography and loves his mother and brother a lot and is shown to be very responsible family guy.He is head over heals in love with Nancy but not expressive Nancy Wheeler- Sister of Mike, is studious, super intelligent but for a period tries to be a rebellion to be part of group of Steve when she starts dating him , but soon she finds herself more inclined towards Jonathon. She is shown to be courageous and brave. Steve - plays boyfriend of Nancy - a popular rich boy who has slept with many girls , initially though even Nancy looked like one of them but slowly it was shown that despite his insecurities regarading her,he cares about Nancy and even fight the creature and as the character develop he is shown as a guy with a good heart , One thing i didnt like is, though he was the most popular guy but is beaten black and blue by every guy( i liked him being beaten by Jonathon but not the other two) Bob - Boyfriend of Will's mother- Joyce, is very intelligent and sharp , though seem little boring with his outdated jokes and over friendly nature but his love towards Joyce and his endeavor to get the trust of Joyce's son was endearing. He plays an important role solving the figures drawn by Will to save Hopper from creature and then ended up being ""Bob-The-Superhero"" when he protects all of them stuck in Hawkins lab full of Demagorgans

To connect to a series most important things is to connect to its characters and the characters i connected to most are Eleven- Mysterious girl, Joyce - Will & Jonathon's mother and Jim Hopper

Eleven - she was called weird in 1st season but i had a crush on her the first time i saw her and i have fallen in love with her , this much cute i find her. She is shown to be brought as guinea pig away from real world , so her interaction with the real world was interesting , she learns about friendship , family , home and all i can say is the actress Millie Bobby Brown has enacted her part with aplomb. Only thing i didnt like is she shown to be in love with Mike and iam super jealous

Jim Hopper - He plays Hawkins police chief who has lost his daughter to cancer and wife and stays alone but he cares about his town , small kids and his friend- Joyce . Despite showing him as indifferent, hard and a cool guy he has a very soft heart- the reason he develops a father daughter relation with Eleven and does everything possible to keep kids safe.

Mother of Will and Jonathon - Joyce - played by Winona Ryder is a caring mother though she isnt able to devote much time to her children due to her being working single mother . Winona has given a superlative performance especially in season 1 . She deserve every award for her performance as brave , determined courageous mother who is nervous and paranoid but will do anything to get her son back. Her smile is also very infectious

there are few other character in small roles like Brenner , Kali, Billy , Owens, Karen but there is not much to discuss about them till now",8
"Best movie with all microanalysis of daily living of slum people who are living behind that ""unrecognised wall"" which was ignored till date. Hats off to Director Nagraj Manjule the way he directing all his film. All star kids performed outstanding. Bacchan sir's acting skill is always best, but this time it looks more realistic. Film is little lengthy but storyline is best as always all Nagraj films. Outstanding movie must go for oscar nomination.",10
"I've watched clips of this anime being shown all over the place (mostly Anime related YouTube channels) and at first time I watched it, I didn't watch it for too long because I basically was distracted with life. But yesterday, I finally got around to sit down and properly watch it.

I did find the show quite funny and enjoyable to watch such as the right scenes, transformation,blah blah. But I wouldn't call this my personal favourite comedy anime of all time because I thought the format was basically the same. Such as trying to concentrate on the story too much as a whole comedy but more on its serious side too. I think the fact it had 13 episodes didn't cover much of what I want out of it. It's been 6 years (also when I graduated secondary school) now and yet they didn't make a season 2, we honestly need it badly here regardless if I have to read the manga!!!!",7
"One of the worst films I've ever seen in my life, the way the story has been told is bad, the plot is bad, and even the actress's performance is stiff without any feelings. The film tries to present a certain propaganda, great! But it was presented in the worst forms of stereotypes of spy stories, without ever trying to respect the sight of the viewer. In summary, I lost my 2 hours ofmy life in watching this lousy work. The camera and filming were the only two thing i can rate with good, otherwise everything else was less than fair degree.",1
"CAPTAIN America :CIVIL WAR Is a great movie. fine acting all around. and a solid story. People are going to think this is a retelling of the Cap Vs Iron man comic book event civil war. It is not. there are similarities in the comics The Super heroes are forced to a Registration cat that forces anyone that has powers to become a government agent if you refuse they go to jail. This is done after a hero VS Bad guy conflict goes wrong and destroys a city. Cap refused to sign and Tony headed it up. Both sides did not see the wrong in their actions. The Comics took a matter of three years to resolve the aftermath of the civil war. In a series a great to less then great story arcs. This movie does not have that privilege. The story here in the movie is more or less Civil War MCU style. and it raises a lot of interesting questions.

After a mission in which the Avengers are trying to stop the last of Hydra wrong. a building gets destroyed And The Scarlet witch is blamed. The Nations of the world unite to bring an accord against the Avengers the accord makes them a body under the control of the UN. Captain America disagrees. He likes having a free hand. And he does admit the actions of the Avengers has resulted in destruction of cities and loss of lives but the alternate would have been worse. ""The safest hands are still our own"" Cap declares. but Tony and General Thunderbolt Ross disagree. Ross tells Cap the world owes them a huge unpayable debt but their is a percentage of the population is scared of them. they need to be reined in. Cap is scared of being turned into a weapon and being sent to places they might not want to go instead of going to places that they might need to go. then Bucky Barnes as the winter soldier reappears and complicates matter for Captain America. And once again Cap chooses right over wrong after the Avengers are ordered to being him in, But Cap finds out there is more to this then even Tony and his Avengers even knew. And it doesn't always come down to right or wrong but in loyalties and the courage of your convictions.

The film is a great entry in the Captain America series but not as good as winter soldier. In looking at the movie in terms of right VS wrong for a movie that tries to show us the areas of gray. It tends to force the point. I found the villain Baron Zemo uninspired in comparing him to his comic book counter part. Zemo is simply wasted. As the Mandarin is in Iron Man III. A lot of potential ruined by a script that should have been so much more. but in what we were given the movie is more then enough. Spider-man in his first Marvel movie makes it special. tom Holland claims the role in such a way that Garfield and Mcguire never did.

Of course the film ends on a sour note and in such a matter that you know it is going to be resolved in AVENGERS :INFINITY WAR or whatever the Russo's are going to call it.

Civil war isn't perfect. but it delivers the goods .",10
"Zachary Levi was an unnoticed character in Thor, from there to lead in DC Comics, well not that entertaining. Some Flaws, as a kid the character aint having any humor, into super power mode all Mr. Funny Dude is out. Big difference in the roles played. Nevertheless, it was not that much of the entertaining. Could have been better, way better.",4
"Hats of to the entire team of ""JHUND"" especially Nagraj Sir.. Done a commendable job and showed the reality of how lower caste people are still discriminated even after Independence... Although after 110 years of Indian Film Industry now we're finally getting to see the some real quality content..With raising the social issues which general public usually ignore to talk about.. Literally had goosebumps when that Bhim Jayanti scene was showed up.. No one in Bollywood has ever dared to show something like this till date.. And again there will be some bunch of Anti-Ambedkarites who would try to underestimate the movie... But it's a must watch movie you all!!!",3
It's indeed the best movie which is released till date.. If you have not watched it yet go and watch it..,10
"When evaluating ""Annabelle Comes Home,"" I take into consideration various elements. If we look at the film's representation within the horror genre, the atmosphere and tension elements are successfully executed. Especially, the use of sound effects and music in dark scenes effectively immerses the audience in a genuinely suspenseful atmosphere.

However, I cannot overlook some weaknesses in terms of the screenplay. The story occasionally falls into conventional horror film clichés, and there could have been more focus on character development. Some scenes do not transcend beyond repeating conventional horror elements familiar from previous Annabelle films.

Regarding the acting performances, overall, we have a successful cast. Mckenna Grace's lead performance is noteworthy, but the depth of some other characters seems underexplored.

From a technical perspective, the film effectively meets the expectations of the horror genre. The use of the camera and scene arrangements are well-designed to provide the audience with an effective horror experience.

However, another crucial factor that cannot be ignored when evaluating the film is the use of the Annabelle character. At this point, it seems like Annabelle is used merely for the purpose of scares without providing a deeper meaning or context. This aspect does not fully meet the expectations of the viewers.

In conclusion, while ""Annabelle Comes Home"" offers a satisfying horror experience, it may fall short for those expecting a more in-depth approach to the story and character development. Therefore, if I were to rate the film on a scale of 1 to 10, I would give it a 6/10.",6
It's by far the best War Movie of Bollywood...The Direction is Picture Perfect...This movie is all about Patriotism Pride and lots off Adrenaline Pumping Moment.. MindBlowing Cinematography...I can gurentee you Your blood will be pumping high also feel very proud of Indian Army after watching this...A Masterpiece..,10
"Why does Doc ""Ock!!!"" only have 6 arms? 2 more not in the budget? I do love this movie, though lol. Alfred Molina was SO good!

Edit: just realized that they were probably counting his legs, as well. Oops, my bad. Sorry Ock

This trilogy was probably my first exposure to superhero films (other than Superman and Flash Gordon) and it will always hold a place in my heart. Casting was generally pretty great. The only thing that made me cringe was in the 3rd movie when they tried doing a Saturday Night Fever homage. It was painful to watch and I was embarrassed for Toby McGuire . Overall, they hold up over time, though 👍👍",8
"From the narrative to the acting it was horrible, The direction of the camera seemed like a video game Didn't seem authentic what so ever, as a history buff I was very disappointed, I was hoping to a sequel of saving private Ryan wich was a master piece. This seemed like a HBO series of band of brothers The starting actors didn't seem believable and their up to date haircut wouldn't match to ww1 typical soldier they were to clean cut. One of my least favorite war movies I've ever seen. The attention to detail was mediocre, for people to rare this a high score, tells me they wouldn't know from a good movie to a bad one if their life depended on it.",1
"Having watched the beginning of season 3, I understand the three eps we were given in the first drop--so that fans at least see Jensen Ackles in action a bit.

But I wonder why the press blitz if he's just a traditional guest star as far as screen time (and not an addition to the main cast.)

The character seems pivotal, true, but I feel like Kripke has used a sort of bait & switch advertising, especially including him in this last press junket.

And that he underused a good actor who could have averaged things up a bit.

And of course like most fans, I watched the up & down quality of the first two seasons to prep.

The first season, broad frat style humor which was pretty effective if you like that style. The second, an abrupt course correction, weighted with ""messaging"" that felt false for the sudden change.

Hopefully it gets better, though professional reviewers I read (again in the press blitz--hope you like clicks) thought season 3 was messy.

Given the lack of screen time and the early reviews, I may wait and binge at the end.

Thanks for the interviews and photo spreads, however. At least they were quality stuff.",6
"I actually read the book first and found it plain stupid - being a combination of a totally predictable plot, idiotic characters, unrealistic scenes and Russians who could not even speak correct Russian. (Predictably enough, all Russians in the book were universally bad, except for the spies, spying against Russia.)

Even though I did not think it could possibly get any worse than the book, I will have to congratulate everyone involved in this production, as they have achieved the nearly impossible and made the movie even more stupid. All the issues with the book are, obviously, present in the movie, too - but they are amplified by fake accents, misleading visuals and totally stereotypical acting. Numerous scenes with partially or fully naked Jennifer Lawrence - which, as it looks like, were supposed to be the safety net - feel completely out-of-place and make it worse.

What's the point of this movie besides very thinly veiled propaganda? Frankly, I find the movie (and the book) insulting to any reasonable intelligence. What happened - have all the good stories vanished all of a sudden so now we are down to filming this sort of junk?

I can't believe Jeremy Irons - being the great actor he is - agreed to participate in this lunacy.",1
"Iron Man 2 is one of the more forgettable movies in the MCU in my opinion. The villains are forgettable, the plot is meh, and they shove too much stuff down the audiences throat in order to set up The Avengers. However Robert Downey Jr. and Sam Rockwell are fantastic in this film and I enjoy the third act a lot. I also like the action scenes as well but overall this film is kinda disappointing coming off the first Iron Man film which was great.",5
"I never expected this kind of a brilliant work in the form of a series. Especially, the white Christmas special episode, so far the best of all. This series shows how technology can be used to help a man or make his life miserable. Though it contains some dystopian view, it surely is a warning to people who thinks technology as their salvation. Whoever's behind the scripts are geniuses.",8
"You know you are in the presence of a great series when you browse through the reviews and you have quite a few very low critics by both ultra conservatives and ultra liberals disgruntled the series hurt their feelings.

The series is top notch (granted I don't know the comics, so I'm not establishing any comparison to the original material here). Great acting all around, specially from Butcher (that guy is perfect for the role). Great story with a lot of nuance. Courageous writing in this day and age.

Minor down. Homelander could take a few more episodes to reveal his true character, the surprise would be welcome.",8
"I Love mafia/crime movies, especially ones 'based' on true life events (whatever that may mean)..

Even though I love the two big names - DeNiro and Pacino- their acting seems to be a bit.....stagnant, stuck in repetitive mode for the last 10 15 years... Don't get me wrong...they can act like masters....but it is all the same and this movie seems to be another goodfellas, although not that good....

Their facial expressions - DeNiro's sullen mouth down look and Pacinos wide opening eyes as in 'surprise!'- still remain the same after all these years..

To me this doesn't feel like a super performance, they just play everyday characters...the thing is...they both play normal people...acting like normal people...and maybe playing a mob guy is the easiest thing to do,..,

Pesci puts down a great performance...better than DeNiro and Pacino i would readily say....his anger is subdued but palpable....and it shows

all in all the Big names in this movie (two of them) underperform or at least rehash years gone past and applied a quick 'do-over' so as to please the audience with another 'dazzling' performance....for me it doesn't work.

Both DeNiro and Pacino have been thrown a bone by Scorsese in a bid to rejuvenate an already over the top duo to try and market them in a movie which has been told countless times....mafia again...and again.

the true praise should go to Scorsese for actually taking this leap of faith and stick his name onto it....but with names like DeNiro and Pacino both the director and the studio knew they had a winner...

and that's sad for cinema...and sad for movie lovers alike... because it shows once more the audience is an extrapolated data pool which suggests actors over movie quality...and in the end...that is what kills quality",4
"This was like a mixture of Death on the Nile with a Marvel twist to it, also some Primal fear sprinkled on top of that. Not as serious and as beautiful as the first one, not as action packed and not as intriguing, it definetely was a slow burner, but it still was pretty good. Edward Norton was great in his role as an uneducated philantropist/billionaire Miles Bron, and so was Daniel Craig as yet again another spy/investigator, Batista played his portion nicely and so did Janelle Monae, in fact she was AMAZING, the over the top ending was a big rough around the edges but overall a fun experience.",7
"I was so disgusted by this show. Talk about privilege and using it so selfishly while still playing the victim. I get what they are striving for and there is a very sad, sad story here but the characters are shallow, spoiled, and constantly stepping on the less fortunate characters to make themselves feel better. It over shadows the sadness and global emergency of child safety issues.

Nicole Kidman is awful. Her character made even worse by her horrible portrayal.

The other actors are stereotypical. Most of the show is predictable. A lot of it relies on facial expressions and silences which is odd for such an emotionally charged story.",4
"If you are prone to depression/suicide or are deluded about so-called ""American Exceptionalism"" or have hope that the youth of today are tomorrow's brighter future, then you probably shouldn't watch this show.

Fortunately, none of the above applies to me.

The show is well written and acted. A bit too textbook maybe. Two episodes in and all the expected twists are being revealed on cue. The gaps are being (and will continue to be) filled in with new information that changes the overall picture.

I've narrowed down the killer to two people. Of course, these shows continue to introduce new suspects, motives and means up to the end, so it's possible the guilty party hasn't appeared yet. But that goes against the formula. It is more likely that we have already met the culprit.",7
"It feels like a witcher series. so its streamlined with the books and games. apart from some cringe its fairly decent. not much special, but if you like the games, you will like the series. as a stand alone series, it does offer some new ideas. but nothing too special. all in all a decent series.

6/10: decent, but its a great follow up",8
"Synopsis: When a group of friends discover how to conjure spirits using an embalmed hand, they become hooked on the new thrill, until one of them goes too far and unleashes terrifying supernatural forces. (IMDb) Talk to Me is a very solid directory debut. However, the film loses it's balance as we progress in the events of the film specifically towards the last act that just loses it all in my opinion and fails to maintain the main story as it feels like the film gets too distracted by trying to be so many things at the same time.

The acting in this film maybe the strongest element in which it really has saved the film as a whole. Sophia Wilde as Mia is able to present the different struggles and stages her character goes through as well as the confusion she faces as her character progresses throughout the film.

Joe Bird as Riley maybe the star of the film. One particular scene made his picture and acting inside my head gets stuck and those who have seen the film will know which scene i am refereeing to. Miranda Otto as Sue (Mother of Riley and Jade) brought a great sense of humor to the film as she was the centre and the attention of the comedy aspect that the film relied on heavily. Her comments and charisma is very bold and cam be felt in the film.

The film started off in such a great way and with no introductions as it got into the story right away. Something that grabs audience members' attention. However, it felt like it lost all of that in the middle and specifically the second act and a bit of the begging of the third act. The story dropped everything that it was building in the beginning and to be more specific, in the first half and went on by something totally different afterwards but was able to bring it back all in the last scene. So what's the point of building all of that in the middle? Towards the middle (and after an important event in the story and before the ending) the film kept going on and on and showing stuff that were very unnecessarily or went on for way too long that made me wonder, how is this supporting the story?

As well as the sound mixing snd sound editing that was horrible and made it much harder at times to hear the speech clearly and understand what exactly is being said. However, the film had a few song choices that were very well as the soundtrack really matched the vibe the film has. The film's cinematography has a few shots that were well noticeable and well made that illustrates that dark vibe the film has but i wish if they were illustrated more rather than one or two still shots that are unforgettable.

My Rating is 7/10 Watched on July 24th, 2023 during a Special Early Screening Format: Regular theatre.",7
They were so cringe. And one of the worst things is that mcu fans are bloating the ratings for this showed even though its an utter downgrade from the films.,1
"Story was good not great but good,story telling and atmosphere was good, acting was generally good specially child actors acting was excellent. Surprisingly no hot chicks in an American Serries (lol). Only one thing was flawed and it was Winona Ryder. Such a terrible acting. If you pick random scenes of Winona's and what it without knowing the story line, you can not tell if she is afraid, surprised, worried or etc. etc. She was so fake every time she enters the scene and start talking i started to get bored. it is 9/10 without Winona Ryder but i must give -1 for Winona Ryder's terrible acting so 8 out of 10.

Anyone would be perfect replacement for the Winona Ryder's part. Even Sandra Bullock could be better choice (lol) Of course she is as boring as Winona Ryder but at least she is not that fake.",8
"Couldn't get into this one. It drags and meanders and maybe I'm just getting old but visually everything seems choppy, flashing and hard to follow. The story seems a over the place as well with far too many characters with stories going on, which seems to be how Marvel is going with the last few of their films I've seen. The sassy, i-know-more-than-you attitude of the female characters also gets a little tedious after awhile. I guess thr main thing is, I don't follow also why they had to retell Spiderman and not just roll out a new character, since this feels like a completely different character in a completely different universe. Well, whatever.",2
"I have not watched the full movie as within 30 minutes its clear that this is about a group of immoral folk in 20s America. There is a warning for younger people NOT to watch it, which is just as well. whilst we are not prudes when everyone is clearly having ""sex"" with those whom they are not married to in this era clearly it becomes unsuitable for some of us to find an alternative option. We have!",2
"I would have gone into detail and actually clicked on spoiler but there is no need. Looks like at least 100 people did that already tonight. So I am just going to hit the high notes and the low notes and call it a night.

The good It was an OK movie. Not great, not good. but I got to see explosions and hear one liners.

Pretty good acting by the major players. Kingsly particularly was great with what they gave him.

Stay for the ending credits for a small laugh

The bad

This script sucks They completely retcon'd a major villain and a major organization. Screwing them up for any future marvel movie. Seriously screwed the pooch on that.

This was a Tony Stark story, not an Iron Man Story It appears that Tony must have got some shield training because now the rich guy that only knows how to blast people and tackle people acts more like a cross between Macguyver and Hawkeye then Iron Man.

They screw up several major plot points from the first two movies such as why Tony has a superconductor in his chest to begin with and the weapon systems war-machine uses.

Finally, Where the hell is Nick Fury. Iron man does not need to have Nick Fury in his movies. Except when that movie basically deals with domestic terrorism on a massive front. If you see this movie you will see a part specifically where iron man calls out a major bad guy in the press and says bring it on I will be here. In the marvel universe there is no way in hell something that public would not have shield all over it. Especially since Tony Stark basically builds their cool stuff.",4
I really enjoyed season 1 and couldn't wait for season 2. I'm half way through the second season and I have to say it's pretty crap. Why did they do this to what was an excellent show?!,6
"6 Underground is the most Michael Bay film ever conceived. Structurally, it's a mess and the humour has his trademark mean spiritedness all over it. However, that also means it's a gorgeously mounted globe trotting adventure through some top tier Bayos in which anything that can blow up will blow up.

Ryan Reynolds isn't really pushing himself here and it would be stretching it to call One a character. In Bay's hands though, he's dialled up to eleven in a way that matches and controls the film's manic energy. He pretty much shouts every line which wouldn't work in any other film but is ideal for this one.

The rest of the cast are all really good at complaining their way through the film. Mélanie Laurent is the coolest, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo is the funniest and Corey Hawkins comes closest to having an actual character. He's the only one able to briefly ground the proceedings when necessary.

Whatever problems the film has with its narrative and structure, Michael Bay's technical craft remains unrivalled. Retaining the scale of a Transformers whilst returning to his R rated roots, the carnage on display here is pure art, ageing like a fine wine since it's now one of a few Netflix blockbusters that looks like an actual movie.

Lorne Balfe truly understands the assignment with a score that's low on subtlety and high on bombast. It can make even the most thinly written character beat feel like it has some genuine weight behind it and if that doesn't work the soundtrack is always on standby, ready to go with something that will really seal the deal.",6
"This film essentially begins with two inseparable high school friends named ""Evan"" (Michael Cera) and ""Seth"" (Jonah Hill) being invited to a party and then asked to furnish the alcohol for everyone. Being underage, they then turn to Evan's friend ""Fogell"" (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) to purchase it for them as he has just obtained a fake ID which he believes will be sufficient for the task at hand. However, when it appears that the police are apprehending him at the liquor store, both Evan and Seth become desperate and--for the first time in almost 10 years--go their separate ways. And it's during this time that they come to realize just how important their friendship really is. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this is one of those comedies that relies upon obscene language to generate laughter. This is especially true with Seth as everything he says is directly related to male and female genitalia or sex acts between genders. In short, his persona is tailor-made for a film targeting immature audiences. It isn't the first American film of this type, and I seriously doubt it will be the last. Having said that, however, the overall plot incorporated such a number of absurd situations that it actually worked--in spite of the lowbrow humor. This was actually a rather funny movie. Admittedly, I would have preferred a more measured script as the obscene language got a bit old rather quickly. But that's just me. Be that as it may, while I would definitely advise viewer discretion, I still found this movie to be rather entertaining, and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.",6
"GOW (part 1 n 2) is total entertainer. Even after the days of watching the movie, u cant forget the dialogues, characters, etc. The best part is that the dialogues of the movie was not written. It was like an extempore for the actors. For me Definite(Zeishan Quadri) was amazing. Superb story and acting by him. The makers of this film paid attention to every small things which happens in Bihar. All the dialogues, behavior, characterization was properly etched. None of the performance of any actors looked like they are over acting. The film received an Adults Only certification from the Indian Censor Board but is still unusually explicit for Indian standards as it contained authentic lingo and violence generally suppressed by Mainstream Indian movies.The films soundtrack is heavily influenced by traditional Indian folk songs. So if you want to experience an all new wave of cinema in Bollywood, GOW is your movie. It's has some real quirky moments which I'll leave for you to explore in the film. Watch it for its sheer cinematic pleasure! Always an Anurag Kashyap fan. Aapne ""Keh k le li""",10
"Unlike all adaptations already made, the series brings the stories of Sherlock Holmes to the 21st century, and without losing its essence, it manages to translate what the detective's life would be like today.

My highlights go to (1) the structure proposed by the series: 3 episodes of 90 minutes per season. Each episode tells a different tale from the original work. (2) The language of the series. For the first time, the audience is taken inside Sherlock's head, and begins to decipher the riddles with him and not after everything is completed. Editing (3) is fundamental to sustain this new language, because it is through it that we see, in cuts and letterings, what Sherlock is deducing in his observations. In addition to bringing scene transitions, to make any editor jealous. (4) The performances are another highlight and help a lot in the success of this plot. Through them (and the direction), the series was able to easily transition between humor, drama and suspense - a form that has been used a lot lately, but which fits the series like a glove. And finally, (5) the photography of the series is magnificent. It brings important details to the scenes, without leaving out the beauty of the scenery (London).

Benedict was made to be Sherlock. Simply perfect. Robert Downey Jr. Cries thermal pools every time he hears the name of Benedict Cumberbatch.",7
"The true reviews for this film will not be available until it is released on home video. Currently, it is clear that the majority of reviews on IMDB and elsewhere are based on 3D theatrical viewings. However, when viewed in 2D, the film does not impress as much. 3D films tend not to age well, and this one likely will not either. The use of rendered objects thrown at the viewer for the purpose of creating a thrill in a 3D theater loses its effectiveness when viewed at home in 2D. It essentially becomes an expensive screensaver. It is unclear why this film had to cost $400 million. Was it necessary for the Na'vi to be CGI creations? They are similar enough to humans that they could have been achieved through makeup and possibly some CGI enhancements to their eyes. As a result, the film feels like an expensive cartoon, with only one major human character and all other characters being digital aliens. The renderings are polished, but they do not appear photorealistic, particularly when the characters speak. The movement of their mouths reveals their animated nature. It is one thing to have a CGI character in a film, but when every character and environment is animated, the film resembles more of a cartoon like ""Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within"" than a live-action Marvel film.

The story, such as it is, could have been told in 45 minutes. The majority of the runtime consists of filler meant to evoke a sense of awe at the beauty of nature. The film does not delve into the darker aspects of nature. It is assumed that life on Pandora evolved through the process of eliminating the weak from the gene pool. Yet there is little depiction of predation on Pandora. The Na'vi and animals live in harmonious coexistence, except for the fact that it is acceptable to kill fish for food but not whales. Characters from the previous film, such as Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), have minimal roles and serve only as one-dimensional cameos. Jake Sully is no longer the main character, replaced by his children. In fact, he has so many children that it is difficult to keep track of them. All of the Na'vi look similar to one another, with the sea people Na'vi being a lighter shade of blue. It is not clear why Jake would choose to have so many children, considering he is living on a world under attack by invaders and would therefore be bringing them into a dangerous situation. It is also unclear why everyone is naked and why Jake, being from Earth, would not have a greater interest in clothing to protect his skin from the sun and the plants and animals on Pandora. The character Monkey Boy (Spider) also raises questions as he walks around without clothes or shoes. The story does not make much sense, as Jake was previously tasked with defending the forest, but he now easily abandons it.

As numerous reviews have stated, the film is excessively long. It could easily be edited down to 90 minutes, as much of it is CGI filler. There is no reason to spend such a large sum of money on a film that ultimately feels like a waste. The amount of electricity used in rendering alone is staggering. If you do decide to see the film, it is recommended to view it in 3D. That is what it was meant to be, a demo reel for 3D TVs. 2/5.",4
"What's good : Acting is all good I found particularly impressive the general feel of the film, uniforms and dirt, attention to detail made a very gritty realism. Lot of cameo roles for well known actors.

What was not so good: I gather this was a number of stories told to the director and although I was totally absorbed for the whole film, they didn't particularly dovetail together.

Or possibly it is the rather weak pretence (to link the stories) of just 2 men being sent to deliver a vital message.

But very watchable film, I was totally absorbed. Not sure I would watch again but certainly enjoyed the film and was worth the price of the cinema ticket.",7
Good from the First One Coming to its Plot and showing its Potential but not Perfect but Can be One time watch for fun.,7
"It is quite astonishing that such a big group of talented and accomplished actors can create a movie this boring.

I can enjoy a movie focused 100% on dialog, but the dialog has to be interesting and the storyline engaging. Frankly, I did not care about the murdered characters and I did not feel the need to know what exactly happened to them.

All the characters felt rather lifeless to me. I did not have a connection with any of them, and that is very rare. Maybe the all-star cast is what actually broke this movie for me. None of them were able to really shine.

I had big hopes for this movie and it turned out to probably be the biggest let down of the year. Maybe if I had followed Zendaya's advice and expected disappointment, I would not have been disappointed.",6
"A train is gone driving without any driver in it, two guys have to stop it - the movie.",2
"I don't know about you but i'm starting to get tired with so many superhero films they release almost each month.

I don't know why marvel have so much success with those films but for me it's time to withdraw from those kind of films especially the superhero vs superhero films like avengers and this captain America film.

in those kind of films we most experience video games cgi effects as a superhero fights another superhero.......feeble minded boy stuff.

At least solo superhero films are more serious than the S.H vs films.

as for this movie it was not bad at all...it had fights...plot...action but like i said we get too much of these movies lately AND IT'S KINDA BORING.

I think as long as those films will be in fashion we will always get new ones plus TV series.

next similar film in line to be released is the new X-MEN film and a dozen more were announced including characters like DR. STRANGE who are not well known to the public.

don't know bout you.........but for me it's getting boring.",6
"After reading many very positive reviews about this movie I thought I had to watch it. After watching, most surprising to me was that the movie didn't surprise a single moment! It wasn't interesting at all, fell asleep at least 3 times while watching it. In fact these moments of sleep/ half sleep are the moments I will remember best when thinking back of The Avengers. I like looking at movies a lot and can enjoy very different genres and qualities, but falling asleep while watching is something I usually don't or cannot do. So this movie -especially in its genre- must be a complete failure.

What do I remember after a few days? A bad guy that really wasn't scary, some super heroes that had to fight together to stop that bad guy (and some more I guess), some images of them being on a space ship, and that's it! That's all!

What about the end? I'm sure I was awake at that moment of time but I simply can't remember. It could have only been the heroes winning the battle but how and where? I think they saved the earth and have been trying hard to do so, but at least it happened without any unexpected or original idea. So for this movie, there is even no chance of writing a review that contains spoilers! What could possibly be there to spoil? That one guy turns big, angry and green?

The avengers is just a super flat super cliché super boring super hero movie... can't recommend to watch it.",2
"While I absolutely love the Godfather Part 1, I'll have to admit I was a tad disappoinnted by this sequel. Not that I thought it was bad, but it just didn't live up to the hype of being a better sequel or one of the greatest sequels ever. I really don't think so, but then that's because I absolutely loved the performance of Marlon Brando and that's something I loved that film for. I also liked Al Pacino in the first movie, but here with him being fully in control I didn't quite like him. His acting is good, like the way he acts with his eyes and being a man of few words and all, but I still prefer Brando as a lead and want him to carry the film.

The cinematography is excellent and by 70's standards it's just incredible and I can see why it must have been loved so much and as a sequel especially. As far as the story goes, this one was nothing groundbreaking or jaw dropping. It was highly predictable, annoying and boring at times.

The best part for me were the flashback scenes of Robert De Niro, where he played the young Vito Corleone. The to and fro between the current times and the flashbacks were a tad annoying but I did enjoy the parts with De Niro in them. I usually don't mind long films. I love the Godfather 1972 immensely, but I'll have to admit I found this quite long and tedious to finish and felt a few scenes could have been cut short and it could have been made even better.

Overall it's still a pretty solid movie, but you may feel it has not aged too well and is kinda overrated. So going with 7/10 for this one.",7
"As a game fan (who played Witcher games in the order of 1, 2, 3) and a book fan I find the Netflix adaptation to be...adequate. They make an entertaining watching experience, but there are things I find to be severe flaws.

First of all let's list the good stuff: choreography is amazing - it makes Geralt truly fight like a mutated master swordsman that he is. Cast is well chosen - everyone fits the part perfectly. Production value is very high - something I was worried about but I'm happy to find out that Netflix spared no expense. It is also very faithful to the source material - all the major stories get told as they happened.

If I have to describe my feeling now, however, I'd say that the entire show is cast under the shadow of a dark, ominous cloud brooding together with Geralt. Henry Cavill has chosen to portray a brooding, dark, and monotonic Geralt. That is entirely fine. After all, Geralt is often like that both in the books and in the games. However, that is not what he is all the time! Based on the books, for all his brooding Geralt does enjoy the regular human sensual pleasures, so feasting and drinking (not of the royal kind) will get some laugh out of him; Geralt is a professional and can be incredibly patient and understanding when investigating monster details; Also Geralt often takes some secret pleasure in being considered powerful if not feared by the common folk... The list goes on. So Geralt has many more sides than just ""dark."" Adding a little of these other sides of his character would have made him so much more fleshed out and believable.

The dark cloud reaches over the writing, too. Here the show I think suffers from a too literal adaptation of the books. I read both The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny. Those short stories set up an entertaining premise and make a fun read, but in term of the quality of literature they are not on the same level as A Song of Ice and Fire, for example. The dialogues are often multi-page monologues giving ominous moral expositions, and the writing, while mature and pensive, are not quite clever or sharp. When adapted for the show, the result is similar: characters seem to break into monologue mode out of nowhere - which in many cases is not how real human beings talk; their lines are often incredibly pensive and reflective, but often devoid of smartness or delight. Of course the show is supposed to be dark and mature, but that does not conflict with high quality writing.

The show also has this mind-boggling triple story line, each taking place at a different time. It's not an issue for me since I read the books, but my girlfriend was completely lost and I had to explain many things to her. I don't imagine this structure would work well for those who are not intimately familiar with the source material. But hey, I might be wrong on that.

Overall I think the show has much room for improvement. Perhaps the showrunner ought to approach this project less as a ""adaptation,"" but more as a ""recreation?"" There's a reason why the best part of the Witcher 3 are the parts where CDPR wrote entirely new stories and characters - Bloody Baron, Olgierd & Gaunter O'Dimm etc.",7
"I wanted to know all the fuss about this new show because of the good reviews : 8/10 was promising. Until episode 8 it is actually pretty good, even though the plot is a little slow and the writing a bit clumsy. I liked the music, the originality, and the acting, especially Aidan Gallagher (n°5) & Robert Sheehan (Klaus), they were exquisite. It was overall an ok show, I would have rated it a solid 7. However, the last 2 episodes are so unbelievable and so bizarre, I completely froze. Nothing made sense. I was waiting for some sort of redemption because of how strange it was becoming, but the ending was even worse. If you are used to very well written shows and perfect scenarii, just pass. You'll find many many flaws in Umbrella Academy. If you don't mind that and want to see some good action and be transported in the universe, give it a go, but do not expect too much you might be disappointed. I wouldn't recommend it though.",2
"After watching season 1, I never thought the next one would be so interesting. I delayed watching season 2 for a month. Then finally watched it on December 31. Wow. Henry Cavill was already awesome in S1. Here he was too notch. Normally in sci fi series, if acting is bad, then no amount of CGI can save the series. But here the acting, narrative, story, plot lines and CGI all are in sync. Much better as compared to season 1 which I think was very boring and confusing.",9
"This is such a good show. It's very light hearted, fun, and very enjoyable. The story is great and the world building is perfect. Each character is designed so well and there is emotion in them. I wish i could watch this for the first time again.",10
"The first episode was fine but it went downhill from there. Cardboard characters, James Bond type villain, cliched gimmicky plot twists that undermine the themes of the story. Screenplay should have been aborted and the series should never have been made.",1
"The Umbrella Academy is a very new, bizarre and interesting new superhero TV show by Netflix, and with the cancellation of their most popular ones, this one had better hold up. It does.

The first few episodes are a little bit slow, as expected, this is after the first season of hopefully, an ongoing series. In these few episodes, we are introduced to our main heroes. From number one, to the completely normal number 7, each of these characters have their own personalities, and stories, and are all interesting enough to keep you invested in the story. These characters seem to have a very biblical connection, that they were all born to a Virgin Mary of sorts, all on the same day, from all over the world. I don't know how that works with all the times frames, but who cares, its science fiction.

They are all adopted by a very strict and intimidating billionaire, who raised them to use their amazing gifts to do good. From one with super-human strength, to another who can see the dead, and one that can manipulate others to do her will, one that can throw stuff like Bullseye, and another that turns into a very monster-like-thing, and another that can teleport through time and space.

But our main heroes aren't the only main characters of the show that hold our interests, it is also the two hitmen, who are sent to kill one of them. These two played amazingly by Mary J. Blige and Cameron Britton, are very interesting characters that are also very scary and even funny at times. And another character who is entirely CGI. The effects on the chimpanzee named Pogo, was amazing, flawless even. Something you would expect from a Planet of the Apes movie.

The story, characters, visuals and amazing acting, all combine to make a very interesting new TV show. I can't really say much without spoiling everything, but it is a different take on the superhero genre, and does a good job at it, even though at times I found it hard to figure if it was taking itself seriously, or not. It felt a lot like Amazon's American Gods, where you can't tell if its goofy or just brilliant, or maybe both. It is also predictable at times, even more so towards the end, but it leaves on a very good cliffhanger.

I would recommend this to anyone who likes superheroes, but wants to see it a little differently than the big blockbusters we see in the cinema. It has everything you would want, powerful heroes of all colours and personalities, to the evil villain. And also that it is the first Netflix TV show that does shove some progressive message down your throat.

8.6/10",6
"Are no where near as good as the Toby Maguire versions. The first film with Maguire is still the best Spiderman film. This new version is just silly, a dumb villain, bad jokes, and underwhelming actors. And what's awful is teenagers continue to see these types of films so they continue to get made. I'm glad I didn't pay to see it.

FINAL VERDICT: Just skip it. lots of better action films out there.",4
"I cannot believe how many people out there actually voted such high scores on this God awful film. What is wrong with you people?? This movie has no plot what-so-ever and sitting thru it is draining and painful-not different!!! If I wanted to see art..I would have gone downtown to the museum. This movie Sucks, Sucks, Sucks with a capital- S! I try to respect everyone's opinions - but this is a film is some kind sick joke put out to fool innocent viewers like myself into believing it is worth something!

Pure Insanity !!!!!!

At least the voter from Japan himself says its awful and boring-

Somebody should hear the truth and quit analyzing to DEATH every thing good- because the TRUTH stands =This movie blows the big one - hard core-

sorry, sorry voters-

get on with your lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do not doubt your selves!!Doubt sorry- ass opinion makers!",2
"First- fact- we are not the only proud nation to do Surgical strike- Operation Wrath of God or Bayonet by Israel precedes us. Second- 12 Strong is a must watch. Just saying.

THE STORY

It is right out of the pages of history and it is stuffed with high octane ""Jai Hind"" moments. Surgical Strike was a moment of absolute pride for Modern India. It was a symbol that India is coming of age and we do not anymore wish to be perceived as cowards just to be recognised as a non-violent entity.

There is a bit of what some would mistake as propaganda but aren't all Patriotic/War movies guilty of it?

THE TREATMENT/SCRIPT:

Could have been better told. Madras Cafe, in Indian films for example laid out the premise way better and narrated the story more than action sequence.

Details of an action packed vengeance mission were missing, as is the tradition in Indian movies.

The war sequence is done wonderfully, fight sequences have been represented so tactically very rarely in Indian cinema. There were a lot of bombs and exchange of fire which makes the movie more of an action than story driven initiative.

Now, I have come to understand that critics are slamming the script because the other party- the Pakistani terrorists camps seemed like under prepared props placed there to be butchered for patriotic kick. But for logic's sake- you generally do not expect others to enter Pakistani territories- it is always the other way round, then, the mission was kept under the wrap, and even if things spill out after such secrecy- you do not expect the Indian Army to invade your enclosure and shoot at you at the midnight's time. It's called taken by surprise. End could have been better manager!

Cinematography was impressive. Direction could have been a bit better. Also, if you plan to make a Superhero film- Aaditya Dhar and Vicky Kaushal are your go to folks.

THE ACTING:

Vicky Kaushal impresses as he leads a big project for the first time. He has an on again off again support staff, crippled by the script who do not hold things together around him. Except for Mohit Raina and Paresh Rawal, no one else is given enough space to showcase their talent. Women, in particular the character that Yami Gautam played, could have been given a role that was a bit more prolific.",10
"This film rocks for 3 reasons. 1. It has tons of cool action. 2. The storyline is great. 3. It has dozens of superheroes fighting each other at the same time, you don't see that often and it's very well done. Personally I do hate most of MCU, but this film is great. Even if you don't like MCU I'd recommend giving this a chance.",7
"I'm impressed with how amazing this show is.

A modern day version of Sherlock wouldn't seem to be a good idea, but it's crazy how this show captivates you.

There are many genuinely hilarious moments throughout the show, and the writes knew how to keep you attentive.

Using Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock is one of the best actor choices I've seen for a role. He's able to play a psychopath scarily well. Martin Freeman does an astounding job playing support character John Watson.

Other than a few CGI scenes and some plot developments I personally disliked, this show is seriously one of the best remakes of the classic Sherlock Holmes we all know and love.",9
"They took away from Loki his cunning, his intelligence, his deception, it is not necessary to make a character weak for others to look strong. It is not necessary to change his personality so that he can be good, from chapter 3 they returned to Loki (sadly) a clown, who does not plan, who does not think, who was only there to be in love and follow an invention female version, whatever Another character could have done that, we didn't get anything new from Loki, the story, the revenge, the intelligence, the strength everything was from Sylvie. While Wanda gets more power, new suit, Loki went the other way, almost 10 years to see Loki be the main character, see all his power, his intelligence and nothing.

So Loki is so weak that he couldn't beat two simple human guards, 2 humans, still asking for the help of Sylvie's sword, and they want us to be grateful for it, it was so sad and painful to see that.",1
"This show is a must watch !!!!

Just saw the first three episodes and I am obsessed😍",10
I enjoyed binging it the first time. I really got more enjoyment binging it a second time. (Yes I have a lot of free time). The big issue I feel may be tough on viewers is the way they flit around the timeline and it is hard to realize that at first. I know the story so I caught on quick but they may want to make it clearer when they do a flash back. The second issue is again for people just getting introduced to the witcher world. There is not enough world building. A personal problem for me was a lot of characters did not fit with my imaging of them. I don't want to post any spoilers but I enjoyed the fight scenes a lot and the length dialogue scenes may bother people what think this show is all about fighting and war.,8
I could only last 8 minutes.. Chase scenes are sloppy as there are too many sporadic slow-mo action.. Too cheesy.. 20 years ago maybe but DEFINITELY not NOW.,1
"This was definitely an entertaining movie but it went in so many different directions at times. Also, the product placement and clear control from Mattel takes you out of the fantasy at times. Honestly, it is unique and not something really done before, so it gets points for that. It's a lot though. Just a lot going on, and not all of what was going on was necessary.

Also, Ryan Gosling is not the best singer or dancer. It was cheesy and over the top. I'm glad I saw it in theaters because if it was on a streaming service I'd probably turn it off as it was so weird. It's worth watching so you're in on the hype and pop culture reference this will surely become.",6
"Really not about Hawkeye but a girl that admires Hawkeye and tries to be him. Full of dance, music well know actors playing ridiculous parts. Disney has taken the original movies that were action packed, with some witty humerous banter like the 1st Avengers and turned them into sappy melodramas.",1
I wanted to like this show. But the first 90 minutes are nonsense. That is an eternity for nothing to happen in TV. What follows that is mostly a badly written show with a pretty lame final showdown. I do feel that both the actors did well with their roles. But they both really did unheroic things in the show. I respect they tried to do something interesting - but the Star Trek TNG episode with the similar plot where the alien had built paradise for his dead loved one was much better TV. This show makes me not want to watch Marvel TV.,2
"We only made it 20 minutes into the first episode when my wife declared ""I'm going to bed, this is stupid and boring"". I agreed, and now we're both in bed. Netflix is obviously paying for all these good reviews here.",2
"This is one of those movies who relies on two-thirds special F/X, mixed with one-third references to classical literature and Judeo-Christian mythology, with near zero coherence. Unfortunately, this is almost always nearly enough to dupe the public, which is by and large amazingly stupid and take any sprinkling of metaphysical rumination as the work of a genius, as long as it has enough explosions and ickiness mixed in. The Matrix stars Keanu Reeves as a Block of Wood, or the other way around, being equally valid. Keanu Reeves, as Neo, or Jesus Christ, Techno-Savior, with Trinity, Mary aka ""the Virgin""/Mary Magdalene aka ""the whore."" (Maybe someone had a bit of Freud going on, mother is the saint, but also the whore? Same first name, you notice.) Also, the Holy Black Man, Morpheus, who may or may not represent God or the Holy Ghost, and a generic Judas, who seeks wealth/power through the destruction of Keanu/Christ. So basically, all that has been done is take the amendment to the Bible (the New and Improved Testament), slap on a lacquer of nihilism, technology, and explosions, no acting ability from the majority of the cast, a handful of plot holes, a reference to ""Alice in Wonderland,"" and you have ""The Matrix,"" the movie that succeeded mainly because it's on the same level as the general public, which is pretty sad. However, there is a positive side to this entire SFX debacle. Hugu Weaving, who just somehow manages to be so sexy and cool, especially in his outfit.",3
"Actually, I was in love with this TV series. The 1st and 2nd seasons were just perfect. This atmosphere of Hawkins, story line and actors make me watch it over and over again, make me addicted to them. I looked forward to 3rd season and then when it was released....The 3rd season is trash, absolute garbage, that atmospere, story line, ""angry russians"" ruined everything. I hope they will improve this ""things"" in their future. They have to. Still 9/10 though because of first seasons",9
"It's hilarious. I saw this movie the other day and I literally cannot control my laughing until the end of the movie. Rajat Kapoor's performance is excellent. He presented his character of a rich and high society man very well. Vinay Pathak is bind blowing. He captures entire screen and we would always like him on the screen. On the contrary, Milind Soman upsets by his acting and he seem to be very unwanted character. But still the movie is absolutely hilarious. All other characters in the film have a short scenes but they are all good in their acting. I strongly recommend this movie to those, who wants to alleviate their stress and tension that is now a days becomes a routine of life. However, movie also gives us a moral sense, that never debase an IDIOT!",10
This is a masterpiece movie and totally loved it. The cast it too strong do anyone to watch and the story is simply pure masterpiece.,10
"Don't let's the low ratings fool you. Some people forget that this is about a family. It's not a modern sci fi show where family values are diluted. It absolute revolves around the brave and super smart Robinson family. However the robot is no longer an AI like in the original series. The new robot opens Us up to an entirely new universe in our galaxy.

There are some dialogue moments between the family members that are cringe (more so in season 3). But the rest of the show has lots of mystery, action, drama and suspense with lots of unexpected twists and turns.

A the incredible cast and production takes it to Hollywood caliber. A solid 8 of 10.",8
"This film was popular with young adults. My daughter when to an advance preview, the kind where you have a live by satellite Q&A session with the stars.

As a parent you do end up questioning why would you want to see a romance movie about young people with cancer? In this case beautiful young people in a Hollywood movie. I had a sibling who had cancer at a young age, it was horrible, a nightmare and nothing like this movie.

Hazel (Shailene Woodley) has cancer. She goes to a cancer support group where she meets Augustus (Ansel Elgort) a one legged cancer survivor. Both share an acerbic wit and an unconventional view of life. On a visit to Amsterdam to see a reclusive and alcoholic writer they fall in love.

The fact that they have a kiss in Anne Frank's attic where a crowd applauds tells you all you need to know that this film has no taste.

It starts off engagingly, like a stoic fight against the odds kind of movie with some black humour. It then becomes inert, really going nowhere, the narration becomes a nuisance and then the saccharine kicks in.",4
"In a post-Cold War Russia Jennifer Lawrence finds herself in the center of Russian Intelligence operations. Being thrusted into a new life or death landscape, she adapts to survive. Jennifer Lawrence as usual thrives in the spotlight. From emotionally driven scenes, to becoming a character. Maybe not an entirely unique character to what she is used to but embodies the character none the less. Red Sparrow takes a long look into the retrieval of a mole. And yes, I do mean long. Reaching almost two and a half hours, brevity was not their goal. However, the movie keeps your attention for the most part to where it doesn't feel as long. But really not that much shorter. At points the film does linger, and you find yourself wondering when it will pick up, and who is this other Russian needed person for. People come in and out of the plot at points to just drive the story along. I think if the movie was to cut out 30 minutes it would have been more effective. The film definitely was a solid film, one that I know the general public won't fall in love with, based on some of the gritty and almost over the top violent scenes. But a film nonetheless that warrants a looking in to. Jennifer once again finds herself in a role that pushes the boundaries of sexuality and violence. In a different approach, yes, but one that may be more provocative than necessary. Director Francis Lawrence is definitely riding Jennifer's coat tail into success. Not that she is bringing all of the talent, but with Francis putting her at the forefront, she is definitely driving his vision into fruition. I'm sure he will make another movie starring her, and we will see how much influence she will have on the subsequent films and how far they can push the envelope. Seeing as from the first hunger games he directed to the last pushed the boundaries a ton already. Red Sparrow was the next step, and by the next movie we could have a very crazy, sexual, and violent, rebellious J-Law on our hands.",7
"I rarely leave a review for a movie. Maybe once in a year. This is probably one of the best films I have seen this year.

Loved it.",10

"This should have been called Fantastic Beasts: Episode 2 of 5. While impressive to look at, the movie lacks an ending. The plot begins, sort of at the end of the last one, picks up and pauses, setting up the next installment. That's fine for a TV show that will be on again next week. Not fine for a movie. Too bad, too. The creatures are better than ever, some of the character development is good and the overall plot has some interesting twists. But, a movie needs an ending!",4
"I was intrigued to watch the show at first, the soundtrack and the direction were amazing and powerful. But the downfall was that we couldn't see a convincing reason other than Hannah over reacting and killing her self for no OBVIOUS REASON AT ALL!!!!!!! it could have been better if she faked her death or it was a murder perhaps, but starting off as suicide and torturing herself and others around her for foolish reasons, it is pure SICKNESS and it surely ruined the rhythm of the show. Big huge disappointment and it caused me depression, so it is 13 reasons why this show is awful!",1
"This film is sure to entertain all. As a Spiderman reader since the early 60s I am thrilled to see another episode of Spiderman on the big screen. They have picked the correct villain and the right actor to ortray him. Alfred Molena is brilliant as Doc Oc. I can't wait to see the next installment. They should use the Vulture or the Sandman as the next villain. It seems by the way they left the ending that there will be two villains in the next film,the Green Goblin as taken up by his son and whoever the next villain is.That's the way they origionaly wrote the series. Stan Lee is sure to be proud of the films and the cast. They are all perfect castings.",9
"The story line was not unique in the sense Hollywood is filled with big heist flicks, but it had enough of a twist to make me interested. Unfortunately the acting of Jesse Eisenberg was the same in all of his movies, a babbling high strung person, which as a magician will really not work. As for Isla Fisher, her portrayal of an illusionist is so contrived that she just wasn't convincing. And when 2 major characters aren't believable (specially if the movie is about illusions) well, it just ruins the film.",3
"As brief background I am an avid comic book fan (both Marvel and DC, but I read Batman the most). I loved the Dark Knight Trilogy and have been generally pleased with most MCU output. I thought Man of Steel was OK but that Batman v Superman was actually quite poor film- making.

Civil War has simply made me think even less of BvS. I know some people don't like comparisons but I cannot help it when Civil War does what BvS tried to do but actually accomplishes it. The good:

The action scenes are great - it really felt like a comic book had come alive










The bad:",9
"Such a classic, that's all I can say. Just watch the damn movie",5
"In fact, this film is what I secretly wished every other Marvel film was like. It has been since the first ""Iron Man"" that everything is done so absolute: from the top, dark, brooding action down to great character development.

Steve Rogers is adapting to today. Meanwhile, Nick Fury is just about to find out about a dirty little (but huge) secret inside S.H.I.E.L.D. Trying to figure out what is going on, the Captain and Natascha Romanof are the only ones he can trust (along with a few others). And when the lines are crossed and all secrets are revealed, there comes a much greater threat than what was expected and even Captain America himself finds his dilemmas on the fairs of justice and evil.

Captain America before this movie was the least progressed Marvel hero. The main reason that happened is the first movie being called ""Captain America: The First Avenger"". I mean, seriously, we all just sat through that flick just to return to see the Avengers.

But the directors (the Russo brothers) took that poor constructed storyline and wounded structure, and made it work on much farther levels. The continuing narrative demanded greater personalities and more accessible dialogue and, of course, better action. I was stunned by all three.

It has been said before, so I am not the first to point it out, but this is actually the first comic book movie since ""The Dark Knight"" that deals with political interests, friendship and past causes to today's expense. It brings all of that together displayed equally and fashionably. It also manages to make us care for lesser attended characters, like Captain America himself, who is know done properly (no offense Marvel).

So if you liked Avengers, you'll love this one. And if you are not just a comic book fan, and like movies at greater expansion, you'll like this more than the Avengers.",10

"For many years, we old Harry Potter's fans had been angry on the disappointing adapting of the books; a brief synopsis the action parts none of the things that made the series a modern classic or a literally work of art. As an example; the best (and longest) book; The Goblet of Fire was so badly adapted and worse directed that the real meaning of the book (youngster anguish, rebellion and sexual awakenings ) was completely trimmed. Characters and actions related to the next part where eliminated, creating a hole in relationships and even our feelings from some characters (i.e. Sirius Black). David Yates took over on the franchise but even if the adaptation was better; the movies barely reflected the books. I regained hope when I heard the movie will be shown in two parts; finally Hollywood greed will be useful for something !!!.

Well, the first part is really like the book. There were a few trims but the slow action and Harry's, Hermione and Ron desperation and disorientation was perfectly staged. Three almost kids fighting against the world without any idea on what to do.

A few people (who did not read the book), though the movie was too paced and with poor special effects. There is some true about that; but the pacing was exactly right as in the book and the special effects this time not really that important.

Let's hope that Yates do the right thing for the last and most expected part.",9
"Java Man Reviews ""Forgetting Sarah Marshall"" (Rated R). Directed by Nicholas Stoller. Written by Jason Segel. Starring Jason Segel, Kristen Bell, Mila Kunis, Russell Brand, Bill Hader, Jonah Hill, Kala Alexander, Paul Rudd, William Baldwin, Jason Bateman, Jack McBrayer and Da'vone McDonald. Originally appeared in LakewoodBuzz.com May, 2008.

OVERVIEW:

Schlubby Peter Bretter (Segel) composes music for a CSI-like TV show that stars his gorgeous girlfriend Sarah Marshall (Bell). Relegated to such indignities as holding her purse during photo shoots, Peter is nevertheless deeply in love. So when she tells him that ""there is someone else,"" he is devastated. The someone else is self-absorbed British rocker Aldous Snow (Brand), who could have been separated at birth from Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow.

After a tragicomic montage of meaningless sexual encounters, Peter decides that a trip to Hawaii would be just the thing to encourage him to live up to this film's title. But as luck (and movie logic) would have it, Sarah and Aldous are already shacked up at the same hotel when Peter arrives. Amid the chance encounters and amusing awkwardness, Peter meets Rachel (Kunis), a hotel employee who may be a romantic prospect--or just a competent resort worker who his pleasant to her customers.

REVIEW: 3 out of 4 Java Mugs

If you like movies that begin with a break-up and end with a match-up (and who doesn't?), then this is the film for you. But it is the midsection of the movie, the time spent in Hawaii, that is the most entertaining. The film is a slight variation on the romantic comedy formula: Boy Meets Girl, Boy Loses Girl, Boy and Girl Both Go to Hawaii. Why so far away? Woody Allen could have filmed this story within a few city blocks of his Manhattan apartment.

Here's why: Since fantasy vacations are becoming so expensive, why not let the movies take us to some of these exotic locales. And Hawaii is one of the most stunning, a place where beams of golden sun bathe land and sea and make everyone look good--including the lead actors and lighting directors.

Segel, who also wrote the screenplay, gives an adequate performance as Peter, and provides some of the film's more embarrassing moments with brief(less) episodes of frontal nudity. The two women in his life are appropriately attractive, though it may stretch credibility to believe either would actually be interested in Peter.

Other memorable performances include Brand as the cynical, oversexed rocker, Rudd as a drugged-out surfing instructor, and McBrayer and McDonald as Christian honeymooners who are just realizing that there is a physical aspect to the marriage sacrament. Some of the funniest moments come with send-ups of the police procedural TV genre, featuring hilarious, straight-faced cameos by Baldwin and Bateman.",7
"Loki has made appearances in many MCU films however we get a more magnified image of the character in this magnificent show. The show explores complex themes such as acceptance of one's past actions as well as being able to learn and change. Furthermore, The actors deliver strong performances as you are brought closer to each character after every episode. Loki has more depth to him as a character in the show than in past marvel appearances yet still manages to be the fun witty character we all love. The show is littered with Easter eggs and references to other marvel characters and films, which creates a sense of detail and entails a level of precision and world building expected from Marvel.

To conclude the show has had an eventful and well written story so far and has a promising future season.",9
"The story is great. The actors were spot on with their acting. Cinematography is superb, sets are amazing.

However, the storyline is just too convoluted, especially when the cast won't age because they are magical beings, it gets very difficult to make sense of time passed between events and quite frankly, put me to sleep in the middle of the episodes twice, which almost never happens.",7
"I'm not sure about this one if I'm honest. It felt flat and somewhat devoid of life for some reason. I failed to like any of the characters and I was never really convinced by anyone's performance expect for Michelle Williams. The only memorable part of the film was the final shot and to be fair that moment was pretty satisfying. However, it fails to make up for the lack of any substantial magic during the previous 150 minutes or so. I will say that I appreciate that this film may resonate with an audience member who has experienced a similar family life. It wasn't the worst film I've ever seen, but I won't be rushing to watch it again that's for sure.",5
Don't miss it must watch every one did a mindblowing work especially abhishek bachchan,10
"The movie is about four different stories that comes across each other at a given point of time just like the game Ludo. But here is the thing, all the stories as an individual had a point in it but they were brought together with each other with too many co incidents. I mean some times you feel like it's forcefully asked to cut each other's path which makes the plot boring and unreasonable. At certain places, it does make you laugh but you would know what happens next as the storyline progress which is where it becomes almost unbearable. It's not as great as I thought it would be after looking at some reviews. Not for me at least.",6
"Overrated doesn't even begin to describe this film. I'm a fan of the director and am always excited when a new film of his is announced, and so it was with this film. Sadly, it does not deliver like his other works do. Performances are all uniformly excellent - particularly that of the poor family's father and the house maid of the rich family. Inventive camera work, a few chuckles here and there and a halfway point twist that makes you extremely uncomfortable and excited for where the story will go next and then...the story just takes a nose dive off of a cliff never to recover. As the film crawled towards its conclusion I couldn't wait to get out of the theater. By the time it's hoping to be ending arrives, I had already checked out. An interesting failure with a lot on its mind, but in the end, what's really underneath it all is a muddled point about class that isn't truly made. I would like for the film to have gone farther and darker than it did or to not have gone dark at all in the first place. This is a film that tries to be too many things at once and leaves you feeling cheated of seeing the movie you thought you were going to get. I keep thinking back to the one review blurb from the trailer (paraphrasing) ""a film that starts out as one thing and then becomes something entirely different"" - yeah, becomes a big stinker.",5
"But thats not the only reason this is a bad movie. What a waste of a great ensemble cast. If you like well thought out, clever, murder mysteries...look elsewhere! The only good thing here is the over the top acting by Daniel Craig. Plus who did the lighting on this movie? Yes these stars are aging, but they all look 70 years old in this cinematography. Has beens on Murder She Wrote got better treatment. Last you will not be able to ""play along"" with the characters, because they purposefully keep some very big information from the audience for the first 3/4 of the movie and purposefully show misleading flashbacks to mislead you. Rian Johnson is simply not a good writer... the fact that he still takes internet commentary so seriously is proof of that.",2
"Each episode has been more disappointing than the last. Every episode has been a snooze fest.

How people are rating this any higher than 3/10 is beyond me.

So far this has been the poorest of all the Marvel tv shows.

The high score has to be due to bots and some overzealous fans.",1
Nice and fun movie! Great fun to watch no matter what is your age!,8
"Just wow. 7 minutes ago I finished the final episode of season 1 of The End Of The F***ing World. It's about James who is 17 and is pretty sure he's a psychopath. He has killed several kinds of animals and is ready for the next step. Killing a human being. Alyssa seems like the perfect target. She's the new girl in school and wants to be different than everyone else. So she decides to hang out with James. Together they'll go on a roadtrip. She to find her father and he to find the right time to kill her. This series is brilliant, it starts very captivating. The first few minutes you'll get totally drawn in by their unique and strange personalities. The humour is quite dark but it works really great. There are a few moments where I had my doubts but the occurrences where minor and not that important to the story. I don't think the show is for everyone but give it shot and definitely watch 'till episode 4. If you're not convinced by then, I don't know what will. The first season has 8 episodes of 20 minutes which totally makes it great binge-watch potential.",9
"""The Time Machine"" meets ""2001: A Space Odyssey."" It's difficult for most people to comprehend the concept of a Black Hole and differences in time passage affected by space travel. While those elements are central to this movie's plot, the story also focuses on a man's relation to his family and a dying planet (Earth) where people try to pursue their normal lives despite Dust Bowl conditions and a dwindling supply of food (to incurable diseases which have wiped out wheat and other food crops) and availability of breathable air. Add to this the story element that the best space jockey in the world quit NASA (because of some questionable flying decisions) to become a farmer like his ancestors. Then he stumbles upon a secret government facility which is preparing to send a ship through a Black Hole to find three earlier probes which went to three different planets that might prove to be suitable for resettlement for dwellers of a dying Earth. He is immediately put in command of this mission although he didn't even know about it until yesterday, basically because of his fame as a great pilot. The plot gets even more involved as he and his top research companion and the oddest robot ever to appear in movies attempt to visit the three planets and determine which, if any, is suitable for earthlings. The rest of the story is too difficult to explain, let alone comprehend. Just remember that quantum physics, Black Holes, time travel and the lot, like theology, are sometimes incomprehensible for many, if not most people, but it you sit back and aren't too critical about obvious non-black holes in the plot, it's an enjoyable, if longish, movie to watch.",6
"I understand the show is about Wednesday but seriously she is so hard to get to like... she's mean and annoying and selfish.

What were they thinking with casting of Gomez? Ewwwww he has ruined the Addams family for me, he is just a poor poor choice with his hideous coloured front tooth lol why would Morticia want to be anywhere near that

The show wasn't half bad, some actors were stiff and boring; like Tyler? The casting of uncle fester was also a weird choice, it could have been so much better but they made Wednesday into a character that was really hard to sympathise with, good shows get you enjoying the characters flaws and watching their growth, this show failed that miserably.",4
"With each entry in this franchise i'm just more and more bored with it - i barely remember the 3rd one, and couldn't force myself to finish this one.

Every consecutive movie introduces more and more of this convoluted lore of assassins world which is totally god damn pointless - each new rule seems to be created by the writers just because they wrote themselves into corner in previous entry. And it becomes more and more bloated, borderline idiotic with every new introduction... did 5-year old wrote this ??

Even the action scenes - the whole selling point of these movies became stale and just boring. Establishing that magical bulletproof suits exist - created the situation that most of people became impervious to bullets which forces characters to spend just to much time on every baddie (and there's a lot of them). And worse of all ... half of them tries to cover their faces with their jackets, looking like Bela Lugosi in his campy Dracula movies, lurking from behind his cape... which is so unintentionally funny that it breaks all tension of situation. And it would be incredibly easy to fix - just invent magical armour piercing bullets and set back to more grounded action scenes from first entry :/

To put it bluntly - this movie is so boring, and so stupid, that it actively wastes your time. Even Keanu looks visibly tired of this .. but maybe it's just his age finally showing.",2
A 2 hour long movie that could have been summed up in an hour. Snoozefest.,4
"It's definitely far too early to say that these early episodes are insane. The main story felt very average with some funny, goofy gaffs in-between. However, you certainly know that it's building up to something big, especially with subtle hints being thrown all around subtly and not-so-subtly. This show is going to be a slow-burn and is going to become a lot better as the true, Marvel plot reveals itself from the disguise of 20th century sitcoms.",7
"Well what a night, Captain America 1, the winter soldier next and last but not least civil war....

After five and half hours of captain America I wasn't sure what to expect for captain America civil war but I wasn't disappointed. I am a massive fan of the winter soldier story and have to admit after the first captain America film I wasn't sure what this would bring but civil war picks up where the last film left off. Great story telling and awesome monologues between the main characters, and brilliant fight scenes, overall a really good watch and even at 2.30am in the morning I still wanted more and wasn't dying for the film to just finish already.

Any true marvel fan will enjoy this film, if I am honest I am not sure if it is as good as winter soldier for me but thats always a matter of opinion, I will be watching it again and hopefully this time it wont involve a litre of coke cola and a 12.45am start time but what the hell.",10
"It's frustrating how clueless the father is when it comes to some technology. Also - what parent/child relationship that is that close aren't friends on facebook/instagram/twitter, etc.?

Overall okay movie with very frustrating characteristics. Some parts are quite predictable despite it's best attempts to throw curveballs.",5
"From fictional nonsense to lacking in explanation as to main events taking place in the show - I would not recommend this movie.

Without modern day astrophysics and scientific knowledge it was tough not to continuously mention how silly a movie this is, especially when it gets to the climax.

If I were interested in fiction and or religious ideology and not having understanding of why events unfolded the way they did in this movie, I may not have scolded my TV set as much. :)

Move a wormhole near Saturn? How would that work in reality? What were they thinking to add such silliness into the plot?

My family was not impressed by the riddles.",2
"Dave Bautista is always good, Daniel Craig has a great presence, Ed Norton is fantastic BUT you have to work with what you got. The scenery is beautiful. NOW FOR THE REAL STUFF. IT IS VERY POORLY WRITTEN. The immaturity of the dialogues is incredible. This movie was based on a very weak scenario that probably fits on the napkin of the diner where it was written. I find it hard to understand that anybody would invest in a movie with such great actors that probably command a huge payroll, And would not invest beforehand in a real writter. When you build a house you need a solid base. Don't waste your time in watching this it's not worth it.",3
"Disappointed as a viewer. The worst thing a film can do it to make the viewer step out of the film and say ""Give me a break"" If the film interrupts the viewing, it is flawed.

Give me a break. Detonation of an atomic bomb off the coast of Gotham? The aftermath: Huge waves, devastation to the city. Radiation fall out for years. The suggestion that Batman is alive is also absurd. He had 5 seconds to detonation and had not dropped the bomb. NO WAY he could have reached any kind of escape velocity. And if his BAT vehicle submerged, which I doubt it did. He could not have survived the radioactivity and heat generated by the blast. This is just stupid writing. The film makers should have resorted to another scenario.

Next, the entire police force crowded together in a massive mob heading toward city hall. That is just stupid. It may have worked in an old 1930s movie where UNION workers confronted private police and then fought it out with CLUBS, but to walk into a direct assault of canons? Have we learned nothing since the CIVIL WAR. Battles are not fought that way anymore. The police would have spread out, infiltrated the city hall via underground passages, used ropes to repel from buildings, and overwhelmed the bad guys, not walk in to certain death. The entire attack on city hall was plain stupid. Another example of pulling the viewer out of the film and making him say ""What the Hell?"".

In fact, the movie should have been called BATMAN and CATWOMAN. Ann Hathaway was an equal to the Dark Knight and I might say did more to save the city that he did.

BANE was a bad dude, psychotic and menacing, but his mask was his Achilles heel. It was much too vulnerable and as such was a stupid idea. If the mask was controlling his pain, he needed to have it protected. All of the punches to his face would have been more than enough to disable this Darth Vader Wannabe. I did like the use of the Sean Connery voice. It added a bit of class the the maniac's demeanor.

Also, having a Mideastern villain wanting revenge on Gotham? Old news since 911. Not very original.

The film does show how vulnerable modern cities are to terrorism, but DUH! that Old news as well.

Bottom Line. Too many flaws in logic and writing for me to really enjoy the film.",6
"Development of characters is rather poor and some parts of the script are very shallow and, at times, make not much of sense.

Photography is very good tho and the parallel timeliness add a nice narrative to the series.

It is not amazing, but very much above average and watchable",7
"Opening scene just didn't make sense if sling rings exist.

Then you have a bizarre and pretty pointless villian. Like ago we get you wanted to milk a tv series first, but that storyline was done, can we please just have a proper storyline and not a weird mess with a laughable villain with laughable reasoning.

Sam clearly had no idea what to do with these characters and basically tried to write a pg horror movie without suceeding.

Only Black Widow is a worst MCU movie.",4
"It's not that I didn't ""get"" this movie. It's not that I found it hard to follow. It's not that I only like romantic comedies or action flicks or whatever other kind of film that fans of this kind of movie think of as lowbrow. It's that I just couldn't make myself care about the characters. I didn't care if they got back together, I didn't care if they erased each other, I didn't like them, and I couldn't identify with them (never having, say, consumed illicit substances or been promiscuous, which sometimes seemed to be the two major activities depicted here).

The premise is interesting, and goes back to Shakespeare and before with the whole 'better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all' bit. The pace and 'feel' was a bit too frenetic for my tastes, although I can see how it would appeal to a lot of people (it felt like watching the beginning of _Moulin Rouge_, a film I enjoy immensely except for the first fifteen minutes, for an hour and a half). Kate Winslet was brilliant, and Jim Carrey was, well, Jim Carrey, which is not bad, I suppose. It all comes back, though, to the fact that I just wanted these foul, vulgar, bizarre people to get out of my living room and never come back.",4
"After escaping from the events of ""Avengers: Endgame"", Loki is now captured by the time authorities to maintain a predetermined timeline.

Season 1: The inaugural season of the adventures of the God of Mischief. A good season for Loki restarted his life after his death in the events of ""Avengers: Infinity War"". An interesting story premise about the concept of a timeline. This first season introduces what TVA is and the timeline that has taken place in every event in the Marvel universe. The series has a light story, builds the story at an unhurried pace and is able to explore about the timeline. A story built with entertaining and wrapped in fun comedy. Presenting the story of the strong friendship between Loki and Mobius. Also a romantic story from Loki with Sylvie. In addition, conflicts in this season are able to be well developed. A mystery that is the main dish in this season to uncover the person behind the authority. By introducing the timeline and the existence of variants, I became a little confused in capturing the concept. Considering that the concept of the universe that Marvel is rotating is also quite complicated, especially with the concept of a sacral timeline which also becomes complicated.",9

This is Rhaenyra Targaryen's story.

Before Daenerys Targaryen was the famous ""mother of dragons"" in ""Game of Thrones,"" her ancestor, Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, was set to become the first ruling Queen of Westeros.

Millie Alcock as young Rhaenyra Targaryen, I find her quite exotically captivating .

Keeping up with the tradition of Thrones its bloody and there are a few Easter Eggs referencing the original series.

The cast are all superb so far, costumes and sets are decadent and look fantastic.

Truly amazing Cinematography, the tranquil yet spine chilling music, and the building of tension the story line are all superb. George R. R. Martin is one of the best fantasy writers out there.

House Of The Dragon season 1 episode 1 (The Heirs of the Dragon) with no doubt it has the same striking skill of creativity so abundant in the original Game Of Thrones !

The game is on ! It feels safe to say viewers can get excited.",8
"Why are so many people so obsessed with this movie. Yes it has some funny moment and good jokes. But a lot of them aren't as funny as they think. The overacting from the Ken's is pretty funny the first few times but after like one and a half hours it's pretty lame. Also what role does Will Ferrell play. It doesn't make any sense or advances the plot in some way. I think most people see the movie like me average but still entertaining. So back to my question why are some people, mostly men surprisingly, so obsessed with this movie. Is there a message most of us don't see? I also asked some female friends of mine and they also thought the same as I.",5
"There are a lot of reviews form people who quit after a couple of episodes. This is a slow burner but boy does it give back if you invest your time. It's been a very long time since I have watched a tv series that is both educational and moving. It's abundant with personal stories that make you feel compassion and empathy for all the characters involved. The pace Is so beautiful and gentle and I couldn""t help but sit back and be moved by the many different perspectives and experiences from all of the characters.

If you are used to watching 30 second videos on TikTok you will hate it, but if you appreciate a beautiful well crafted story you will love it just like me.",10
I really enjoyed this program. It's not laugh out loud funny but it is quite a giggle mixed in with some good action and great visual effects. If you are looking for something light hearted to watch with a bit of a twist to the classic super hero shows then give it a try.,9
"I strongly dislike this film. First of all, the story is.. Bad. It bored me half to death. The Characters are bland and uninteresting. The main character, PT Barnum is nothing more than a generic serious fellow who the writers try to make seem flawed and interesting, but fail and make him seem like a bad person. The rest of characters I don't even remember the name of, so let's not mention them, as such boringness and lack of effort put into a supporting cast deserves no mention. The Acting is alright I suppose. Far from brilliant though.

Overall, this is a horrible movie, don't watch it, watch monty python and the holy grail instead",2
"I stopped watching after only one single episode because I don't like the characters, but since my family has been nagging me to watch it together, I finished a season, more or less. It's not a bad show, good cast and performance, good production value, and the writing is good, as in dialogues, cause and effect logic, funny, except for characterization.

When $#1+ happens, you can either be positive about it or be negative, it's a choice that makes us who we are. When the writers decided to bring out the worst in human out of every single character in the show, then I know it's not my cup of tea. Zero respect, zero empathy, zero trust, I mean, you name every single trait there ever was in humans, and the writers choose the negative side for the characters. I don't know, since it seems like most TV shows are similarly full of negativity these days, and people like these shows, maybe I'm the abnormal one. I like being positive and I like seeing people being positive, respectful, empathic, and if not trusting your family, at the very least willing to listen to what they have to say.

You know what? If this is the world we live in today, I am so very glad to be abnormal.",3
"The actors totally lack any kind of charisma you'd expect from Sherlock or Moriarty, the stories are complicated and boring, this is a sad attempt of destruction of the mythic Sherlock Holmes character and stories.

Sherlock Holmes just doesn't fit in a modern setting. I don't see how anyone who has read the Doyle books can like this series. It's kinda blasphemous.

I will stick to my complete DVD collection with Jeremy Brett, or the two movies with Downey JR. and Law if I want a more ""modern"" take which doesn't totally destroy the myth. Or to my complete book collection for the true original.",1
Those f-word ers that critic bad this movie are wrong Venom is great the cgi is perfect Tom Hardy damn he is a excellent actor The movie goes for comedy more but it has a good story too It entertains and also gives you good moments and Easter eggs I went to see it twice Rotten tomatoes are the ones who suck,4
"This series revolves round the adventures of Loki who is forces to help capture a mean villain through time. Al-dough Loki has some minor points, the sometimes childish script, childish humor, and, al dough the TVA in Loki was invented in 1986 in the comic Thor, is has a remarkably rip-off feeling of the Umbrella Academy, what was invented 1,5 decades after. I believe the success of the time agency was to great to ignore. So to conclude, beside all negatives, it is a very entertaining series. Good balance between story and action, good effects, acting, directing. So not a top notch script, but well worth your while.",8
"Its a pity that so many great actors were used for this average, overextended and pointless movie.",5
"I bought the Bird Box book some years back and absolutely loved it. It has a unique plot and is the kind that will stick with you through the years especially if you are able to visualize whatever you read.

This movie is based on that book. It is NOT a movie that was inspired by another. However, the movie does have some differences that, overall, make it less enjoyable if you have read the book. But maybe that's just me.

On its own, the movie is fine, though I feel the plot would've been better left as just the book. I've been wanting to see Bird Box on the big screen but quite frankly it could've been better.",6

While peter has women trouble, A new villain is born, DOC OCK!!! And what could be worse? Harry and Peter's relationship is going down the tubes big time.

"Everything from the script, acting, visuals, and story is just as good as game of thrones original four runs.

However there is a constant hypocrisy in many reviews of this show stating how they dislike the show for seemingly random and mostly inconsequential reason such as bad wigs being responsible for a 3/10 rating . A more commonly stated argument being that they liked game of thrones but didn't like house of the dragon because the show was slow and ""boring"". Anyone who has made this point obviously was one of the people who liked only the action (or just didn't really watch most) of game of thrones, as the parts of the show widely considered the best/most iconic were the slower, more dialogue, and character focused first four seasons.

The whole goal of this new show is to capture the original feel of the GOT series and the ASOIF books that was acclaimed for it's subversion, realism, dark tone, deep politics, well placed and consequential action, and twisting storytelling. House of the dragon captures all of these elements almost perfectly and does some elements even better than the prior works.",8

"Just saw this yesterday and I really wanted to like it, being an amateur historian in general and big fan of military movies/books in particular (i'm an old navy sailor). Aah where to begin, I guess with the non-chronological, non-linear format; bad idea for this movie. I'm a fan of it in other genres, but it doesn't allow you to engage or get invested in the event being depicted, much less any of the people. It jerks you back and forth from ""week"" to ""day"" to ""hour."" It feels like it's out of sync throughout the whole times being depicted. I loved the Dark Knight and believe it is the greatest superhero movie ever made, plus a genuinely magnificent movie in general; up there with Ben-Hur, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Good The Bad & The Ugly, the Godfather, even Once Upon a Time In American (another out of sequence movie), and so forth. I know it sort of raps up with all three frames, but you even get to see repetitive scenes (albeit from different viewpoints) again and again. The score wasn't anything spectacular, just a little bit overdone, and sometimes even overtook what was going on screen, bad idea. As another reviewer noted, the historical event was a big deal, this movie was supposed to ""film"" it, but you only see 7-8 boats on screen, not the hundreds that were actually used; same goes for the extras; I felt this was a great opportunity for CGI boats, planes, and people; I'm not against it for conveying ""reality"" on screen, especially on a Nolan film, the CGI would have been top-class and wouldn't have been cheesy. Also, the lack of dialogue made it more like a long documentary about the logistics of the event, even though you don't see the grand scale (with a couple of hundred extras, 7-8 boats, and 3-4 planes). I feel bad for not liking this movie more because I'm really appreciative of what the British did at Dunkirk to ""fall-back"" and live to fight another day and eventually defeat Germany in WWII. The ""Greatest Generation"" described in Tom Brokaw's book, which I read, was even greater in the United Kingdom, due to their sacrifices and shared sufferings (bombing of London and other UK cities). This movie deserved to be given one or two people to hang on to and grieve with and cheer for and be afraid with and persevere and survive with. Even though the end ends like that, it was sort of anti-climatic. This was my opinion, one man, not representative of anyone else's view point, of which we all know there are/will be many.",4
"The comic book ""The Boys"" is dark, twisted, funny and a hell of an entertaining ride with a great story and crazy good characters. Everything this lousy TV series is not. All they had to do was take the story of the comic and put it onto the TV screen and you would have ended up with an epic TV show. Think of Breaking Bad meets the first seasons of Game of Thrones meets The Sopranos. But for some reason they decided to completely rewrite the story, hire completely wrong actors and turn it into an epic fail of a boring snoozefest. Instead of a wild, weird storyline like in the comic book we see miscast actors spending their time in some bowling alley talking about nonsense, or they are sitting around in some cellar doing nothing, they are discussing really boring stuff in some corporate office, they visit some festivites , or (my highlight) they are giving endless boring speeches. Again and again. There are only a few good scenes in all of the eight episodes when - you guessed it - they stuck to the comic book. But that only makes about 20 minutes or so. The rest of the eight hours of showtime is an absolute boring disaster, a creative catastrophe brought to you by talentless showrunners who brought you such snoozefests like ""Supernatural"" or any lame Seth Rogen ""comedy"". ""The Boys"" as comic is one of the best comics ever. ""The Boys"" as TV series is THE WORST TV SHOW EVER. Read the comic book.",1
"But sheep are watching this in droves....Avengers END-YAWN....... WTF?!?!?!

"After watching all 8 seasons and 24:Redemption, I have realized that I have become somewhat of a hardcore 24 fan. Firstly, when this show was introduced to the public in season one, it brought several creative ideas to television such as the real time aspect, the split screens, and the infamous ticking clock. I have seen dozens of famous TV shows throughout my life, and I must say that 24 has certainly outdone the other ones. Jack Bauer - the world's coolest protagonist and hero that TV has seen to this day. He has kept this series running and he became somewhat of a phenomenon on YouTube and the rest of the internet.Kiefer Sutherland plays his role in a world-class manner, and for that I am ridiculously grateful. For the people that haven't watched it, I strongly recommend that you watch a couple of episodes to see what I am talking about, and for you who are currently watching it - just keep on watching! It will keep you interested until the very end and I can assure you that you will not be disappointed by the series in general. I am aware of some flaws in the series, but as long as nothing is perfect, then don't expect 24 to be. I have read and heard that a feature film of 24 is to be released in the summer of 2012,and from what I see, it may be the final 24 production to be made. I hope that the movie will make it to the big screens, and I thank this series for providing me with a memory that will last indefinitely.",10
I really enjoyed this season. it was very well written and the story line keeps you holding on. BUT... you could easily see in episode 4 that David is innocent but he just keeps hanging on to the love of the secretary and his mental unstability. I mean it drove me nuts to watch some of those scenes just because its perfectly clear... but he just can't bring himself to say anything about anything. which therefore gets him further into trouble... but not a bad show!,8
"Two years after the spider-man incident, Peter is having a difficult time dealing with his personal life and his spider-man character, which affects his civilian life",7
"Well, at least almost nothing. 20+ episodes is just way too much of pointless conversations in combination with more or less interesting twists. If it would have been condensed into half it could have been a good show. There is suspense, thrill, depth, intelligence and moral but also randomness, repetition, cliche and shallowness. Maybe I miss the point of my 1st anime series but from a pure entertainment side it's in my POV average at best.",5

"It shines in some places like the finale, but a lot, if not most of it doesn't need to be in the film; lots of filler. The movie could've easily been an hour shorter and still have been as good.

If you come from pulp fiction and kill Bill, etc. Like I did, you would expect a similar level of storytelling, plot lines, twists, and overall feel, but this is completely out of left field, and honestly left me extremely disappointed.

I love Margot Robbie, but her character does not make any sense. I don't see really any reason for her to be in the movie.

However, the acting was great. It's not the actors that lacked in the film. It's the story itself.

4.5/10.",4
"Not big into supernatural type shows but stranger things just does is right. Basing it off the montauk project and adding their specialties makes this show work. Every season is good and furthers the plot without rushing or dragging. Each season leaves you off satisfied but also leaves you off with more questions, especially the end of season 4. But it is set up perfectly for the final season. I give it a 9 because the series isn't over and nothing is perfect even tho I believe this show is close to perfect.",9
Sorry but that's 3 hours of my life gone on a load of over aged men mumbling on. It's a gangsters version of Forrest Gump. Really poor considering the talent,3
"The pacing is really weird, I'm only a few episodes in but rather than let you think, everything is very on the nose which leads to them just rushing through things. By this I mean, actors say things with their mouth rather than face and body, so any speculation as to what they're going through or what anything means is a waste of time, cause they'll tell ya. The style feels bad, they use elements in their shots and angles that I really like but it all feels way over done in my opinion. I don't know how to pinpoint what it is I don't like about this beyond it feels like it was themed for adults and written for kids.",5

"I'm a massive fan of the Witcher in all shapes and forms. I read the books three times when I was in high school, completed all the games as they were released, even watched the disappointing Polish serialization, and now, finally, the time has come for Netflix to take up the challenge.

The long wait is finally over, and now I'm on my third go on the first eight episodes of the series. I must admit that not everything here is perfect - some of my favorite scenes from the books are missing, some were not dramatic enough in my opinion, a few dialogues are not entirely coherent in English (much improved in Polish dubbing), and the camerawork seems awkward at times. All of this is a minor annoyance, though, and for me, it's an excellent, well-made production, with a considerable potential for growth.

All main cast characters have been made very well. Henry Cavill is a very believable witcher - cold and reserved, with just the right amount of wittiness and humanity flashing through his mercenary facade. Anya Chalotra is the best Yennefer I've seen so far, and she managed to pull out the problematic transition from a worthless, disfigured girl to a stunning, proud, powerful, and ambitious sorceress. Same with Joey Batey, his Jaskier is just flawless, spirited and funny, I loved every single scene he's in, his music sending chills down my spine at times. Mimi Ndiweni, as Fringilla stands out as well, making this secondary character a vital addition to the main plot, and I hope her role is going to grow in importance. Anna Shaffer made a very nice interpretation of Triss Merigold, but I wish we saw a little bit more of her. Freya Allan pulled out Ciri just fine; however, I think her time to shine is yet to come, as her plotline so far is pretty dull in comparison to what awaits her throughout the story. From secondary characters, Jodhi May as Queen Calanthe caught my heart, and I regret her part in the plot already ended.

I enjoyed how the creators managed to stitch up different parts of the story together and fill out the blanks with their own ideas. Their take on how magic works differs significantly from the source material, making mages less powerful and more manageable in war scenes. It also highlights the difference between regular magic and the power of elder blood Cirilla wields. Introducing ethnic diversity could be done with more thought and background information, in my opinion, but it was decent and made me think back on the all-Caucasian world presented in the games as rather bland and incomplete in this aspect. All in all, I feel most of the changes make sense and allowed the creation of a believable, coherent, and exciting world.

I enjoy the series so far. For me, it's the best fantasy series at the moment. Some minor things feel quirky and unpolished, but I think that as the whole staff gains experience, it's just going to keep being better and better in the seasons to come.",9
"I loved GOT and would rate that a 10 but HOD is a 4. Honestly, I struggled getting through season one. It is boring and slow paced with a few special effects of dragons. I went back today and watched the pilot for GOT and was blown away by it. Honestly, if they do not change this to by more like GOT, I will not watch season 2. I really do not under stand the high score for this show. I went back today and watched the pilot for GOT and was blown away by it.

I guess I'm a fan now. Because of that I'll give 9/10 for the season 1.",9
"I bought this movie from Goodwill and two bucks and that is all it is worth. The movie just drags on and on. There are some nice visuals of the Tokyo night life but I didn't feel any connection with Bill Murray or Scarlet Johannson or any of the Japanese characters. Just a boring movie about a bored movie star. I kept fast forwarding through the movie hoping it would have some redeeming qualities, but no.",3
"I have just finished watching the series thanks to my new subscription to Netflix.

First of all, I have absolutely loved the opening credits. They are by far the best and most inventive I have seen for a TV (Internet ?) series.

I have aso loved the cast. Each actor is doing a great job at portraying their character.

What the show suffers from is pacing. There is an awful lot of uninteresting dialogues between characters we do not care much about, i.e. the bad guys (Russians, Chinese, Japanese and so on), to the detriment of main character interaction and development. Thankfully, that improved in the second half, and we (finally !) get to see the friendship between Matt Murdock and Foggy.

There are a lot of fighting sequences which are very nicely choreographed. However, they became quickly boring to watch because their outcome is always the same. You will see Daredevil kick the hell out of his opponent (with unnecessary violence) for 5 minutes, and that's it. Because of these scenes, it took me a while to like Matt Murdock. He seems to find himself at the end of the season and to be able to show his good side.

The mythology of the character was a bit out of place. The series could have benefited from showing some of the flashback sequences of Matt and Foggy's college years a bit sooner because they made the pair more likeble and interesting.

I was disappointed with some characters, mainly Claire. Her relationship with Daredevil felt forced. I also thought she would play a bigger role, given the part she played in promoting the show.

Overall, I would say that the second half of the season saved me from giving a 6/10 review. I think the show has some potential and that the mistakes I have described should improved in the second season.",9

"I am a two-time Iraq veteran. While the scenery and photography of the film were wonderful, the inaccuracies of Army life were just too much to ignore. Alcohol on the FOB (Forward Operating Base), running outside the wire (perimeter) at night then checking back into a checkpoint with no repercussions (either on or off the FOB)..... Taking off the bomb suit during an operation, EOD guys knowing sniper and infantry tactics, running around doing infantry tactics without commo gear, the showers were too nice on the FOBs, flying in choppers without battle gear on, an Army shrink going off the FOB (be for real!)....the inaccuracies with explosives etc etc etc.... the list goes on ad naseum.....

I liked the film in the beginning, but it kept getting slower and slower and slower. Then the errors of the film regarding Army life were too gross and if the script writers did a little bit of homework, they could have made this film really good.... as it stands, it is mediocre. This movie had so much potential, but it was a real let-down.",4
"Season one was great. Really one of the best things I had seen in a long time. After it turned out that people loved it, Netflix made another season. The first season was made because the people who made it had a really great story to tell. The second season was made, not to tell a story, but to cash in. So it was boring, there was no suspense, it was just a bad copy of the first season. The third season was just ridiculous. There were a whole lot of things that annoyed me about it, but what was the most unbelievable is that two grown adults would make the time to fight with each other every step of the way, instead of just saving their children, and not trying to get killed themselves. I stopped watching halfway the final episode of season 3, because it was just too boring. I will not be watching season 4, because I don't want to continue ruining the experience I had watching season 1.",2

"Cinematic feast, especially if you enjoy period dramas. This mini series also brings a good helping of side stories to add a bit of variety to proceedings, and keeps the chess to introductory level. I particularly enjoyed the Cold War themes, the stereotypical Soviet attitudes, and the recurring cast, as if they were conscious of closing all threads properly.

CONS: unfortunately commits the cardinal sin of being preachy, and that too of flawed dogmas. Not only does it show everything going swimmingly despite poor decisions by the protagonist, it also repeats vapid generalizations through the prism of her mothers voice.

"I've seen films glamorizing all sorts of stupid things, behaviors, beliefs etc.

We can watch films depicting drug addicts as heroes, AIDS sufferers as victims of society, policemen and police in general as corrupt criminals and brutal criminals as saints. I even watched a film glamorizing ""poor"" pedophiles (Pervert Park), go figure! Examples are everywhere and every year film makers find something new to try and lower the limits of what was once acceptable.

Now, this series seems to reach a new level of stupidity. No matter what people say that it is warning to a series of problems that teens can have, it is still a glossy, a rose-colored view of teen suicide. This is very, very disturbing. And still there are those who find value in this type of garbage.

The whole series, the story and everything else besides the suicide is nauseating... It is the typical run-of-mill depiction of teen life and all of its annoying and moronic idiosyncrasies, idiotic characters, etc.",1
"I am really concerned and confused by the decisions of shinigamis and as well the reasoning of Near and Mello in the mid of the series?! Dull, dumb and empty dialogs in the 3rd part, like the writers wanted to overcomplicate the story with unanswered questions and unspoken thoughts ? Just a pure unnecessary confusion! Plot holes? 95% of viewers just didn't notice at all, so many illogical and skipped explanations and reasons for some actions of characters.

So, I decided to watch this movie despite it's bad publicity and Johnny Depp, who I find to be a deeply disturbed individual who was unlucky that his private life was grealy exposed to to lawsuit in the UK. Anyway, I thought Depp was great here. Restrained and manacing. Very cool. The movie was fun, although I agree that some of the character relations are hard to follow.

"Avatar is one of those once-in-a-blue-moon kind of series that is up there with Batman: The Animated Series and Animaniacs as one of the greatest kids' cartoon shows ever. With a wildly colourful world, sprawling mythology, lovable and multidimensional characters, sharp writing and a level of maturity extremely rarely seen in kids' shows, it's a flat-out masterpiece.

The characters grow and change over time in believable and significant ways. The tone always stays consistent. The comedy is laugh-out loud funny without resorting to low-brow humor or adult jokes. The stakes rise every season, yet the show never devolves into brainless action. The writing is very sharp and manages to explore complex and unusual themes like broken families, finding one's way in life, loss, responsibility and escapism not often seen in kids' shows.

The show's main cast consists of well-rounded and believable characters with distinct personalities and flaws, and they all are interesting in their own ways. The series spends a lot of time exploring their pasts and finding out how they turned out the way they are. Some characters don't quite reach this level, but to count that as a major flaw would be just nitpicking.

What separates Avatar even further from the majority of cartoon series is its overarching story with a clear goal and villain defined from almost the word go. Yet this setup never wears itself out during the three seasons, instead taking its time in raising the stakes. Some episodes around two thirds into the series go to really dark places and you'll find yourself thinking ""Did that just happen in a kids' show?"" The action scenes are very exciting and creative, taking place in places like underground caves, on top of mountains and on zeppelins.

Unfortunately, the show doesn't always use its potential to the fullest, opting mostly for separate one-episode story lines instead of one continuous story. Some of the tension raised at the start of season 3 gets lost as the series goes back to its standard formula after a very striking start. It doesn't really bring the direness of the situation across, but I guess there's only so much darkness you can have in a kids' show.

Recommendation: As one of the best cartoons of all time, The Last Airbender is a magnificent series to viewers of all ages that will stand the test of time. As a kids' show it's a full 10, but due to the sometimes wonky story structure and some wasted potential, overall it's a nine.",9
"The Umbrella Academy is such an incredible show that really should be entertaining to all types of different people! I would absolutely recommend it to any superhero fan, action fan, sci-fi fan or drama fan because it has something for fans of all those genres! It may start a little slow for some while it builds up the story and characters, but it gets better and better as the story progresses. I thought Season 2 was even better than the Season 1 now that I just finished Season 3 I can say there's a little drop in quality but it's still really good! I'm a huge fan of superhero movies/shows and while I have to say The Umbrella Academy isn't my absolute favorite one, it's still really good and very entertaining! It really brings a fresh take to the genre and I can't wait to see this last season!",9

"Really enjoyed the production wriing and acting of The Umbrella Academy. I see some people want to knock Ellen Page, but her acting is totally in line with her character and for me her presence is powerful in every sceen she is in. The only gripe in the movie is that one major character somehow survives a sitaution that would normally see anyone else die. This is a shame as it seems as a bit of a cop out to a very dramatic moment. Other then this the whole first series hs been excellent and the sadness and gloom that each programme brings with it is very emotionally.",8
"The show was very good, the lead actress was not. I think after the producers realized she was the wrong person for that role, it was too late. Shame because almost any other actress could of made this a way better series, and higher ratings would be here as well.

I watched most of it already and yet she doesn't change. She's very boring and all her acting looks forced and it looks like she probably had many retakes. It was just a very bad casting decision. I have to type more words just for this review to go in. So lastly I will say, Merry Christmas, happy new year. Have a great Holiday. This show could of been great. Oh well.",6
"This movie was an absolute hoot at my screening! A week after it's release, my theater was packed with people, laughing and clapping throughout the whole film. It was a great experience, and I really enjoyed the movie. Michael Cera was probably my favorite actor along with Ryan gosling and surprisingly Kate McKinnon. The story and adventure was really fun, I was absolutely in love with the visuals throughout the film, and I thought the self awareness was really refreshing. The music also energized the film throughout. With all that being said, I did have two complaints. The first is that the conclusion of the movie is that men and women can't work together, and I think that was a really strange choice. I understand that the movie wanted to empower independence but collaboration is also very important. Second complaint, why the heck was there a Chevrolet commercial in the middle of the movie? Anyways loved the movie and can't wait to see what Greta Gerwig does next.",8
"I've been following The Boys from S1. And hot damn, it was genius.

I went in with the same expectations into S2, but I found it sometimes lacking. Still my enthusiasm and momentum carried me through, right into S3... and boy, if they dropped the ball in this season.

Let's get the positive stuff out of the way: Antony Starr and Jensen Ackles are both pretty awesome in their roles. And Kimiko's final decision about her power was really heartfelt.

OK, that was quick. Now, the rest...

The writing in the whole season is nothing short of abysmal. Gone are the intriguing premises of ordinary people fighting an evil company with superheroes. Gone are the reliance on grit and wit and street smarts to outmaneuver your opponent. Instead enter a**-pulled contrivances, half-baked subversions and downright stupidity.

Instead of an intriguing story you get everyday politics injected into the show - in spades. And with a subtlety of cracking a walnut with a sledgehammer. ""Oh You see? We mock woke corporate marketing! We mock Orange Man! Underground media! Mainstream media! We're bashing both left and right, aren't we kewl?""

The writers also had no idea what to do with their characters after S2. They had put half of the cast on pause or simply abandoned their storyline. Characters constantly make stupid and/or contradictory decisions that they would never have made in previous seasons. Power levels and power dynamics are being shifted on a dime. The last episode was especially full with eye-rolling moments, from Maeve dropping some of the deadliest nerve agent right onto the city to the awful final showdown.

Thank you show, you had such a promising premise, I even held my hopes high after S2 for all the ongoing storylines, but you let me down big time.",5
"This movie is especially worth watching if you like Christian Bale or any of the several very talented actors that played in the film. I couldn't help but think that this was directed by Wes Anderson. The timing of the dialogue certainly impresses me that way, as well as the color schemes and the way the story is told. It was intimated at the very beginning that the movie's story was based in history, but I haven't seen anything to confirm that yet. Alternatively there are some parallels to Jan 6th 2021. Overall, I liked the film and I'd recommend it to friends who happen to like Wes Anderson or just quirky movies in general.",7
"Barbie is a new fantasy comedy directed, part written and produced by Greta Gerwig, director of Lady Bird and Little Women.

In Barbieland, everything is perfect and everything runs smoothly. Yet Barbie (Margot Robbie) learns that something is not right and everything suddenly seems less than perfect for her. Because of this, she decides to travel to the real world, to find out what's going on.

On this journey she is accompanied by Ken (Ryan Gosling), who secretly tried to go with her. Together they now try to figure out what's going on, but learn that the real world is very different compared to Barbieland.

Greta Gerwig, together with the photography director Rodrigo Prieto, knows how to convey the Barbie world well, making it seem as if you are in a life-sized doll's room as a viewer. They used beautiful film sets for this. Thus, the film works well as long as it is set in the Barbieland. Only that everyone here is Barbie or Ken sometimes makes it a bit difficult to follow the exact differences between all Barbies and Kens.

When the story moves to the real world, it changes the movie a bit. For example, how exactly it is possible to travel between the two worlds is not really clearly explained. Furthermore, the movie loses credibility when Barbie and Ken can do anything in the real world with no real consequences. Due to the lack of explanation and an eye for detail, the film can sometimes come across as a bit strange.

In a comical way, they also try to make fun of both gender roles. For example, Barbieland should represent the opposite of the real world. In Barbieland, Barbies and Kens can do anything, but Barbie is often above Ken. In the real world, men often seem to be above women. For example, they try to divide this role in the opposite way. For male viewers, who do not like these current feminism movements, this can make this film less.

Despite multiple actors and actresses playing different Barbies and Kens, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling manage to portray their roles in more unique ways alongside the other Barbies and Kens cast members. Margot Robbie comes across as a real Barbie, trying to discover what her life destinies really are. Ryan Gosling manages to provide plenty of appropriate comedic moments as Ken, who tries to make Barbie notice him. In the real world, however, he learns that as Ken, he can also do other things without Barbie. Will Ferrell plays the CEO of Mattel, the toy company that makes the barbie doll. His character and the other employees are supposed to be in the real world, but they seem more like they're also in a cartoon world because of the ways they act. This makes the concept of the real world seem a bit unusual. If they brought out the real world a little better, the movie could have been a little better.

The Barbie and Ken concept is better brought to the fore in Toy Story 3, for example, where these dolls and the idea they stand for are also handled a bit playfully.",5
Well like many i compare it to GOT. First to say i like the witcher its entertaining but it didnt renew plot writing and cgi is not as coherent as in GOT. The plot is more familiar not so ground breaking. Everything feels a bit more like xena or hercules. Its cool nice to watch but i didnt make me feel wooow so far,7
"When Douglas (John Malkovich) says ""Make the end of the world great again."" I literally tried to change channels because I'm tried of everything being about Trump. But my wife wanted see how it ended so we kept watching. By the time we got halfway through we were both laughing at how ridiculous the whole movie was. The funniest line we came up with was 10 out 10 blind critics recommend this movie.

Do yourself a favor and watch A Quiet Place instead.",1
I don't recommend this movie as story is not at the current standard.,1
"When I saw the trailer, I could already see the whole movie in my head and I knew it would be awful.I could also see that the CGI were not up to the task.

Then I came here to see the ratings and lots of people seems to have liked it so I thought maybe I was wrong and its not so bad.Sadly it was worst on many points.

Actors are just filling the spot, I mean they could have used any members of the crew like cameraman or sound technician and it wouldn't have made any differences.


The story is lame and predictable with no originality, imagination or dept.Its almost like if it came out of a script writing software where you put some key words and it generate a story.If you're a fan of the old ones don't watch this you'll only end up angry.




The best analogy I can find to describe looking for something like a modern version of the old movies and watching this would be like if you want a 2 inches thick old style pizza with the best quality ingredients cooked in an epic antic oven but instead you end up with an economic brand of a modern industrialized frozen atrocity half reheated in the microwave and still cold in the middle.

More and more movies and t.v. shows are as horrible as this these days and not only that people write, produce and sell them but lots of people likes it that way.Its like if a huge number of our populations are becoming empty zombies and these movies/shows are meant to feed them, it really scares me ...",2
"This movie for festival not for cinema audience like Theshapeofwater ""in my opinion""",5
"Oddly enough, I found this quirky little movie quite appealing. It took me a bit to warm up to the movie, but in the end I liked the non-traditionalist approach to this kung-fu movie. The physical humor and the verbal humor, while not hilarious, was still pretty funny. And I think more than anything, the humor was effective because it came as such a shock and a surprise just because of the timing and the kind of movie it was. But this movie didn't just provide laughs, it also provided some excellent fight sequences. The battles in this movie easily rival some of the top kung fu movies such as ""Iron Monkey"", ""Lord of the Wu-Tang"", and others. There was a perfect blend of true martial arts hand to hand combat, excellent choreography, and a bit of suspended belief weapons use and super ability.

The directing and the cinematography was spectacular. There were some wonderfully captured shots that drastically enhanced the movies appearance and overall style. As a martial arts movie fan, I really appreciated this movie's ability to mix humor with some very nice and stylized fighting scenes without making a mockery of itself and other good martial arts films. This movie is a pleasant surprise for any kung fu movie fans.",8
There are some interesting ideas and some great moments in this original piece of work. Ultimately it doesn't quite get there for me though in terms of the overall story and the science. It's ambition together with some decent performances along the way elevate it into the above average bracket.,7
"Not bad, but how is this rated higher than Cavills ""The Tudors""?",7
"The MCU is too bizarre to be grounded. The movies are fast paced, fun and not something to dwell on. Dont think about Thanos's weird plan, just roll with it. The Netflix marvel shows just barely acknowledged the events of the MCU even happened, and were successful for it. Falcon tries to do a deep dive on the blip and unblip, and its just territory not meant to be explored. They tried to frame it as a parallel to Israel-palestine, or syrian refugee resettlement, and then clumsily brought in issues of being black in america...but the infinity saga is really not built to meaningfully tackle these issues.

The writing is really poor in the first few episodes as well, and that really doesnt help. Conversations seem to go nowhere. Falcon offers a pardon to a character for help, the character takes offense to using livelihood as a negotiating tactic. Falcon then relents and offers to try to get the pardon anyway, then the character says she doesnt want charity and will help in exchange. What was even the point?! There are so many examples of these small, pointless conversations that seem to waste time, early on. Individually theyre not that bad, but collectively it makes following the story pretty tiresome.

The action set pieces are a cut above almost any TV series; especially when an aerial falcon is involved. I think that saves it from being too boring to watch, but its ultimately super forgettable.",5
I mean the show is fine but how come preety much all my freinds and family say this is the greatest thing ever created since tummy rubs and...well...i don't see the appeal i mean i don't get me wrong it made me chuckle hear and then but it didn't make me laugh soooooo i don't f#$&!*? know maybe it's me but i don't get it,6
"I've expected much more as it was the final chapter but to be honest infinity war was much more interesting and mind banding, the story happened in the end game I expected them almost all of them before watching the movie so I was waiting to be proved wrong and get excited unfortunately I wasn't, End game was more emotional rather than interesting, they paid too much attention to viewers satisfaction they did what emotional viewers would have wanted.

End of the story",2
This is the first time i feel like there is less nudity than required. Jennifer Lawrence just done an amazing job as a sparrow. Her changeover in this role as movie progresses is commendable.,10
I absolutely loved the characters and the show especially Steve. The screening and storyline is awesome! Worth every second!,10
"Being a huge fan of Supernatural series and having watch so many, this is the first time in years that I enjoyed a series so much. I cannot wait for the next episode. It has all the key ingredients, mystery, crime, suspense and LOVE. It looks at the supernatural world in a more factual, historical and realistic perspective which makes it truly believable. This is the kind of series I hope we are going to see more off.",10
"""In RP1, everyone fixates on a dead man's favourite passions in the hopes they'll get rich and escape poverty. Meanwhile culture has stagnated for decades; no one makes new art because everyone is so focused on 80s trivia, and not because they like it, not because they understand it, but because it is the only thing worth money.

It is so close to being a damning criticism of nostalgia. The movie should have been directed by Paul Verhoeven."" Poster ""Come and See"" on Something Awful.",2
"I will not give anything away but oh man, that mid credit scene...and in general the movie wasn't bad! I thought Carnage and the scenes with him were pretty cool and Woody Harrelson and Tom Hardy did well as always. Aside from a few parts and moments sprinkled throughout the film that were ridiculous and didn't make sense, it was pretty entertaining!",7
"Red Sparrow is a lot like last year's Atomic Blonde. Both films are about femme fatales, both films take place largely in Russia, both films have twist and turns in their spy thrillers, both films use some bold colors (Atomic Blonde blue, Red Sparrow red), and both films are by the number spy thrillers that are not interesting. The only different is that Atomic Blonde was at least fun and did not have really uncomfortable undertones like Red Sparrow does!

One thing that I can absolutely give Red Sparrow credit is that it is a technical well made spy thriller. Francis Lawrence, most known for directing three of the four Hunger Games films, as well as I am Legend, isn't exactly an interesting or stylish director, has definitely stepped up his game, making a visually striking film with some great use of red color hues. I won't call this movie stylized really and there's not a lot of subtly and substance to really analyze, but there is certainly a lot of interesting shots that does feel pretty cool. The score is also pretty great too, being done by James Newton Howard. It's largely classical inspired and even using classical pieces, that both fit the film and adds a bit of tension and even beauty to what is going on. And that's about it for the positives really.

I mean the acting is alright really, but these characters are so bland and by the numbers they just feel like carbon copies of characters you've already seen before in spy thrillers. This is very much true for Jennifer Lawrence's character, Dominika or as she is referred to ""Sparrow."" J-Law has proven to be a great actress, and she goes as far as she can with her role, even with her fake Russian accent, but her character is so flat that her natural charisma does not elevate her role as far as we really want. Add to some stale chemistry with Joel Edgerton, who is shockingly bad in this film, and any sex appeal from this movie is gone down the drain.

Speaking of bland, this story is just so dull! It's nothing you have not seen before, the plot is convoluted and hard to follow at times, and it's just so long and the film drags! Like I was so bored by this dull movie. It's not a constant fun, action-packed spy film and more in the vein of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, a spy film more about wit and intrigue instead of being action oriented, which I can respect. But like I have to care about what I am seeing, which I do not! It's just so uninteresting.

And not to mention really uncomfortable! Like this movie is super graphic with it's violence and sexual imagery. Like there is a scene in the film that basically was going to full blown rape, I am not kidding. This is to add to some feminist subtext with the film, but with how needlessly graphic the film gets, and really analyzing this movie in a feminist critique it is incredibly shallow. Sparrow doesn't do much work on her own as she basically has to be told what to do, including having a man forced upon her! Yuck! I can somewhat respect this movie if it was at all handled the touchy subject respectfully, or just full blown exploitative and unapologetic, but it never goes that extra step and just feels like a tepid mix of Tinker Tailor and Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Maybe the book did it better but I have no interest in picking up the source material after watching this.

I can't hate this film too much because it is a well shot movie and the score is good, but it's just a long, boring, and uncomfortable slog to sit through. It's too boring for a spy film, too shallow for a feminist movie, and too scummy for J-Law fans. Just skip it altogether!",4
"First of all, I am very disappointed that this movie currently stands as no.1 of all time on IMDb listing. People, just remember the first time you watched the Matrix, Godfather, Braveheart, any Stanley Kubrick movie, and the list goes on.

I think IMDb should take this matter seriously and reconsider its rating system, because I have been using this website for god knows how long as a reliable way to select movies to watch and compare my taste.

Let me tell you that I actually went to see this movie a second time to really make up my mind.

Now, why such a low rating, why soo serious?? Well, first of all, I am a big fan of Batman and a big fan of Christian Bale, but, unfortunately, I have to say this was his worst acting role. I think the direction or production forgot about the Batman for this movie, there is no darkness in his character, no depth, no inner struggle, I mean Christian Bale himself looks bored. The comments of Alfred on the other hand, as his ""adviser"" are just useless, a poor performance from another great actor. I don't want to continue criticizing the actors, but it doesn't get any better as I think of the other actors. Heath Ledger may have pulled off a very good performance though, he was very good, but I mean we saw him maybe 30 minutes in the movie, and some parts were too predictable.

OK, so, what makes this movie so disappointing? It is no longer a comic movie and we have to many ""real"" elements. A vigilante wearing a mask and using his wealth to have amazing gadgets, fighting against a psycho, who's motives we don't even really find out, what made him the way he is: a self proclaimed ""agent of chaos"". We also have a harvey dent, who has the highest morals and who is incorruptible, or maybe not. The story is too long, the innovative schemes that Batman comes up with to stop the Joker are over the top and simply too unrealistic. In order to achieve making the Joker look super intelligent and a mastermind, all the direction does is make sure the rest of the characters are very stupid. I mean, leaving him uncuffed??? Come on? OK, so, do the action scenes and special effects save the day? NOPE! Remember the chase scene in Ronin? Remember the robbery scene in Heat? Not comparable.

I'm sorry, but everything in this movie is sub par! This is a mediocre high budget flick, with nothing genuine to offer. A cheap ripoff and attempt to reintroduce the story of Batman without any twists. How is it that the movie lasts almost 3 hours if not more, and there is no story development what so ever. Oh wait sorry, by the end of the movie, Batman becomes the bad guy, yeah okay...

I can go on and on but I am just starting to lose my calm. Hollywood, wake up, World wake up, if you think this was a good movie, then, I suggest you watch idiocracy, and maybe you will recognize it as a true vision of the future.

So disappointed.... 4/10 (or maybe I am still being generous)",4
"While it definitely was not a perfect film, I still enjoy the movie and appreciate what it is, I walked into this movie at the theaters expecting a fun action movie and I was given just that, a fun film filled with action and some funny moments, this movie showed me that studios don't have to make a masterpiece to still have a fun movie worth some time.

Some problems I had however are 1. I feel like including carnage in a PG-13 movie is a little strange, as how carnage is a brutal serial killer on the marvel comics, its a little odd seeing him coated in PG-13, you can see this clearly during carnage's rampage at the prison. Another problem was that sometimes the writing was a bit sloppy, the writing is not horrible, but the film just could have been written better in my opinion.

Overall, this is a fun film with some problems, but for what it is, it's pretty good.",8
"This show is remarkable. To be honest the first episode wasn't my favorite; I liked it quite a bit, but I wasn't entirely sold on the idea. However, the more I watched, the more I loved this show. The most recent episode is my favorite, and I know they have plenty of deliciously disturbing plans for future episodes. Overall, the storyline is captivating, the acting is incredible (Mads Mikkelsen is in some ways a better Hannibal than Hopkins), and the cinematography is reminiscent of Sherlock (in other words, innovative and phenomenal). If you're a fan of dark shows (think Dexter or American Horror Story) or if you like crime thrillers (think CSI), then this is a great show for you. This is a must-see show!",10
This is a great movie. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. A lot of the humor is awful. But still is very fast past. This movie has a lot of action. Avengers age of ultron is better. But still a good movie. See it,8
This is a great series just wished it would been up to 5 or 6 seasons then 3. Good story line and characters. If your liked the original Lost in Space then you will like this new adaption for todays generation. My daughter loves it and actually got her into learning about space and the planets. Hope they to a spin off.,8
"I've come to expect Nolan's films to move my heart, soul, and brain and I went into Interstellar expecting my mind to be taken to the next level -- it wasn't.

The story was compelling, the visuals were amazing, characters developed, etc, etc -- but taken as a whole, Interstellar didn't live up to my expectation of Nolan's films. Earth going to hell in a hand basket have been done before and Interstellar did not do much more to excite the audience. What made it worse are the long unnecessary expositions. An almost 3 hour long movie that made my wife angry at me afterward because she slept through most of the movie and still it went on for another hour+. She would have loved so much to go shopping instead.

When I left the theater, my mind was focused on trying to find what I liked about Interstellar, and nothing really came up. My favorite ""going to space to save the Earth"" movie, ""Sunshine"" by Danny Boyle, was still much better than all the other ""save the Earth"" movies, including Interstellar.",7
"I struggled to get through this film. It was just a rehash of the first film, and tired 'magical natives' tropes, offering nothing in the way of insight and intelligence. The usual bang bang explosions were there but does anyone really care to watch 3 hours of video game like action when you're not even a player?

The much talked about visuals were fine, but so 'ten years ago', when we cared about stuff like CGI. Now we're seen it all and this is fine but nothing special.

This film missed the boat by a decade and in that decade they couldn't hire themselves a writer to fit in some semblance of substance and meaning for a 2023 audience. A wasted effort and a waste of our time and someone's money.",3
My favourite film in the series... winter soldier (Bucky) is amazing.,10
"The first 3 movies were really good, but they've completely missed the point in this one. Kind of sorry for Henry Cavill for accepting such an idiotic role just in order to earn some bucks. It's like, every thing that happens in this story, every unrealistic bit of event, is very well foreseen by ""007"" and you don't get a damn clue, just how? And then comes the female acting. Absolutely terrible. Ferguson is so visibly undernourished that you can see her bones. How can she perform these martial technics with such power? It's simply bloody unrealistic. It's simply a very bad episode of series which needs to end with this one.",5
"It's a shame that Netflix spent so much money on such a terrible product. Really wanted to like this show, but cheesy lines, badly written characters and a obvious plot that makes the series just unbelievable boring. Not worth your time.",2
"(8/10 for season 1, 2/10 for season 2)If you're a fan of the books it's safe to assume you'll enjoy season 1 for the most part as it kept with the source material, with the parts that strayed not being overly terrible. Season 2 however was just an absolute embarrassment. I find it laughable that an ""adaptation"" can stray so far while failing so badly. The season 2 villain and plot was a disgrace to the books and I'm sure Sapkowski himself would be in absolute disgust if he was to watch it. Really surprised this show wasn't cancelled after Cavills departure as even he, being a fan of the books, was probably embarrassed to be involved in something that could made a complete mockery of the books. However it is likely it will be cancelled after season 3 if they keep up with this path of changing the already perfect source material that is there ready to be adapted into live-action. Makes me wonder if the writers even cared for the books in the first place as that last season was basically them giving the finger to Sapkowski and the wonderful stories he created.",6

"Probably the funniest movie I have ever seen (and i've seen them all)! Younger people will really enjoy this movie. The way the actors speak is almost exactly the same as the way college students would speak nowadays! And those of us that are still in education will be made aware of this during the opening scenes.

People who say this movie isn't funny, only find it bad because it is directed towards the 'American-Pie' age group - (so around 20), and the likelihood is, that older people would not find Superbad entertaining, but rather a load of rubbish, simply due to the fact that they don't 'get' the image and nature of the movie :)",9
"I loved the video game and being able to see the game and book come to life in a series is amazing.

It pains me to write this but - dialogue in season 1 between characters was terrible and predictable at times. The plot was all over the place. There was no way of knowing when flashbacks happened. There was zero background or character development with certain characters. I love GOT and it would be great to see The Witcher evolve into something on par with GOT. I believe it has the potential - so show writers if you're reading this - Please take your time writing the plot for season 2. Add more monster hunts as well please!",8
"Fargo is no doubt one of the best movies ever made. The movie is about a car salesman (William Macy) who is up to his arms in debt. He then hires two men (Steve Buscemi and Peter Stromare) to kidnap his wife and get her father, who is rich to pay a ""ransom"" amount of $1 million. When all goes wrong, a pregnant police officer (Frances McDormand), goes out to find the kidnappers and bring them in for justice. The movie was just great. Some parts were funny (mainly the accents when they said Ja!), some were dramatic, and other parts thrilling. No doubt I recommend this movie to everyone. Also for Bruce Campbell fans (like me) he appears at the end.

10/10",10
"What statement was this film trying to make? Literally pointless.

I've always adored Teresa Palmer for her amazing acting range & she's done it again. This time making herself seemingly vulnerable yet strong & intelligent with an untamed magical aspect. All the while overcoming tragedy from her past & the hopes for making a better tomorrow despite eons of prejudices. Palmer captivates viewers with the those beautiful big blue eyes. I'm so bummed this isn't available in US yet. U lucky blokes across the pond got this one first.,10
"After a great first season, a second .. not so good one already, this was the disappointment of the year. Teenage love stories, childish dialogues, poor acting and all possible boring and simply impossible situations. Even or maybe especially Russians cannot be that blind, stupid and fitted with these make-believe clichés. The sherif has mentally fallen back to ""Kindergarten"" level. Too much teenager ""bla blas"". Stopped watching after painful 1,5 episodes.",1
"When I first heard of the movie, I had in mind how US tackles it enemies. It uses satellites, drones, high tech weapons and to my surprise even avenging incident in URI all these factors came into play.

If one has to be fidayeen he can take many, he just needs to find the crowd. To bring back every soldier alive is totally a different story.

I don't know with how much accuracy the movie is portrayed, but in its run it depicts a really mature content. I came across factors like four teams, choppers (to be bought in use) and intelligence which seem inspired.

The scene depicting an Indian intern capable of designing a drone (garud) on the other hand an enemy teen unable to even recognize it appeared peculiar.

Final Verdict: It is the best war movie made in India until now. It is worth watching.",7

"The Witcher not only honors the source material but is visually stunning. Henry Cavill is a worthy Geralt of Rivia while the show also brings a ton of diversity on screen which has been missing from the fantasy genre for quite some time.This show is a decent addition to the Witcher series and serves as a kind of prequel to those familiar with the games. It tries to appeal to book fans, game fans, and those new to the Witcher which tends to water down the experience for everyone. Most of the negative reviews I've read are from people who are not familiar with the tone of the source material. You could say it might be a bit confusing to newcomers, but to fans, this is glorious. It is not game of thrones and is not trying to be. Cavill is perfect as Geralt. I will only deduct half a star because I think the exposition in the first episode was a little clunky and I would have a more faithful depiction of Triss Merigold.",8
"This is a master piece. I call this new age cinema. Those who are getting bored of Yashraj and KJ movies, will definitely like GAngs of Wasseypur. Great acting by unknown actors. Each character in the movie has a different shade of human. Manoj Vajpayee is great as usual. Nawazuddin was hardly known before GoW. Timanshu was only known as good director. After watching GoW, i say he is much better actor than a director. Piyush Mishra proved why he deserves respect in the industry. Great dialogues. Teri keh ki luga,,, tumse na hoga Beta... Great Street music:: This movie is a career change for Nawazuddin, Richa, Hema Qureshi. I want to see all of them again.",9

Good job, entertaining for the whole family.",9
"OK, I'm likely to be in the minority here, but I just came home from a screening tonight, and I really disliked this movie. The main reason is Daniel Day Lewis's completely unspontaneous performance - every look, every gesture, every over-enunciated word maddened me. It is the complete opposite of what good acting should be. Sometimes an over-the-top performance can be appropriate, but Mr. Day Lewis's acting style here was pitifully ill-conceived. And what kind of accent was he trying for? It was not an American accent I've ever heard before, most particularly not for a character that was supposed to be from Wisconsin.

And the music score!! Completely inappropriate for the time and place of the story. The lead performance and the annoying music score made me almost want to run out of the theatre screaming, but I will admit that there were some redeeming qualities; the cinematography, production design, and costumes were excellent.",3
"Very emotional with the right dose of action , story and special effects. I like it very much",10
"I went to this movie with very less expectations thanks to the initially negative reviews branding it as a propoganda movie. I was left speechless right from the first scene. The audience began clapping in the intermission, I have never seen that happening before.

The action in the movie is very realistic. Everyone has done justice to their roles especially Mohit raina and Vicky Kaushal. I am quite sure Vicky is going to get national award for this movie. It is a must watch, don't miss it.",10
"I tried to have no expectations at all when watching this, afraid I would be disappointed. Sadly, my instinct was wrong, I was more disappointed than I though. With again a familiar cast from past Tarantino movies, in the first 20 minutes I was waiting for something to happen, then after 40 minutes in I was already seeing where this was all going, nowhere. I usually give half an hour tops to wait if a movie grabs me or not, this one achieved to not grab me until the end. The only reason I kept watching, was because of Caprio or PItt, waiting for it to get better. Unbalanced in ryhthm, lot's of back view driving (ala ""Bullitt""), with a soundtrack almost limited to what's playing on a car radio. Lot's of clichés, exaggerated hippie motifs everywhere, the movie lacks pace, sense or reason for me to bother with the characters, with some even thrown in just to provide a bland reason to watch the finale. The Bruce Lee wannabe appearance had no point at all, the Tate case was highly avoidable (common, did Tarantino really need to mess with it?). But let's say he really had to include those 2 elements, at least include them with proper character development, in an organized script that actually is interesting, not this sketch of a movie, with cliché stereotypes being thrown at you like some annoying pop-ups. The worst Tarantino movie ever and I might say that he got lost after ""Django"", failing to deliver over and over again until now hitting rock bottom. ""Pulp Fiction"" will always be his masterpiece, this one his lowest... so far.",2
"The cast can't pass for teenagers anymore (though they've been pushing it for a while now, and to say that's the least believable part of the series is a testament to its stellar world building) so it's lucky that the 'school-kid' aspect of the story is the least prevalent so far, with the action taking place entirely outside of Hogwarts. 'Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010)' starts off strong but comes screeching to a halt right after an enthralling sneaky section set inside the ministry of magic, stopping for around an hour with almost nothing happening in terms of plot or character, and it's this section that drags the film down to be perhaps the least successful in the series, tied only with the first. That's not to say its bad, though - far from it. It's just a different beast with a slower pace and something different to offer. 7/10",7
"Well... That's really funny film. DC, you did a great job! Keep going! I had a great time during watching this film. And all children's look pretty good! So thanks for a great job ;)",6
"As someone who consumes a multitude of mystery stories, I wanted so much more from this. The movie itself was interesting but the reveal was incredibly underwhelming. I wanted so much more from this movie but it just wasn't there. Might have rated it a 6 if Daniel Craig's accent was better.",5
"One of the worst movies made. This should never have been an ""american"" standard film, way overdone. Can it get negative rating?",1
"I've suffered this until the end of episode three so far. Whether I'll continue, I don't know yet as I'm suffering depression over the wasted opportunity they've had and totally wasted! What went on in the writers/directors minds is a mystery! It's totally unbelievable. Sets and effects are very good, but the story lines are a joke. These people are supposed to be the creme de la creme of the Earths top people who are to go out into the vastness of space and start a new human colony, yet they're a bunch of morons, who make outrageously dumb decisions, and act in ridiculous ways, that no-one in the real situation would act. Total disappointment as I was expecting so much more.",4
"As above really. The film looks fabulous, usually Nolan can paper over the story cracks with visuals, the story here is too feeble though. Which is bizarre as the actual story of Dunkirk, the event, is a harrowing part of a terrible war. All we have is some pretty faced actors running back and forth. Only Tom Hardy, acting everyone else off screen with just his eyes, is worth watching.",5
"I finally got around to seeing this movie and what I was expecting far exceeded what was delivered. Downey had such potential to portray the brilliant Holmes, but he turned out to be a drunken, festering, mumbling, Johnny-Depp-like weirdo. I swear I couldn't understand half the movie. London ended up being a dreary urban slum and the movie focused less on deductions and clues, and more on karate chop action scenes and special effects. Jude Law was the only redeeming quality here. Sadly, I can't recommend this movie. And as usual, the original books are much better. btw, ""The Mummy"" used the line ""death is only the beginning"" over ten years ago.",3
"Far too long with so many sequences that should have been left on the editing room floor. The story - supposedly true, is quite simplistic; Someone joins the Mafia and does jobs killing people who either don't listen or irritate someone off higher up. It is a poor man's Good Fellas really. Acting top notch and great to see legendary actors that redefined the gangster on the big screen at it again but ultimately it feels we have seen it all before; the mafia hugs, the staring, conversations involving people doing a thing for someone. On the plus side the CGI de-aging is pretty impressive with only the odd dodgy moment. Still should have had younger actors doing some of the physical stuff though as a younger De Niro still moves old. The other plus is the period detail for street and road scenes and of course cars.",5
Overrated film. Its fast paced but a bland story .Adam Sandler is good but that is all I can say,4
"Few weeks ago, my friends and I went to see Kung Fu Hustle. Previous work I've seen by director Stephen Chow was Shaolin Soccer. I recall upon arrival of the DVD I got from YesAsia.com several years ago, I've been showing around that DVD to my friends (along with My Sassy Girl). Needless to say, I thought the flick was hilarious and the use of CG as a storytelling tool was breathtaking. The previous movie before Shaolin Soccer where I saw CG working to its benefit was Storm Riders. Story wasn't built around the CG aspects but the CG made the story better. Wacky imaginations just come alive in CG form. And, generally, that's what Kung Fu Hustle is all about. Stephen Chow doesn't hold anything back, but throws tons of conventions and cartoonish humor with dazzling look and pazzazz. Here, he paints the movie using genre conventions as his brushstroke--a man who obviously loves the Kung Fu genre, sappy love stories, and cartoonish wackiness. The slapstick in the film work mostly because they are CGs done with great artistic delivery. The scenes are also beautifully lighted and shot. The action scenes are dazzling. Overall, it's a very well-done comedy with lots and lots of imagination. If there is any fault with this movie (it's not really a fault, really), it would be that, as a story, it's not as well-structured as Shaolin Soccer. In Shaolin Soccer for example, you can generally see things being set up (bad guys are introduced, etc) and they will all somehow come together. Kung Fu Hustle is somewhat less predictable and some things come out of left field, often in a good way, and in some cases, odd ways. But, hey, one has to realize it is a comedy and that already allows it to have its own rules. Did it work as a whole? If you don't like it, you will at least appreciate it for its virtuoso film-making.",10
"After seeing his parents gunned down as a child, the billionaire Bruce Wanye (Christian Bale) becomes obsessed with vengeance and so he leaves Gotham City begins a journey to truly understand criminals' minds and from that he becomes a lost soul in a Bhutan jail. Then he encounters Ducard (Liam Neeson) who offers him a chance to join The League of the Shadows who vanquish evil. This is where Wayne learns mental and physical methods of training and to conquer his own fear and to use it to help him over throw evil. He returns to Gotham City to see it filled with corruption led by crime kingpin Carmine Falcone (Tom Wilkinson), the family company is interested in profit rather than people and his childhood sweetheart (Katie Holmes) is a spirited assistant attorney of a corrupt justice system. This is when Wayne decides to make a symbol and with the fear of bats that haunted him (childhood accident), he directs this fear into the ultimate creation Batman. He then recruits the help of weapon designer (Morgan Freeman) who works at his company to design gadgets for him and that of an honest cop (Gary Oldman).

Did I go in with high expectations for the film after reading and hearing mostly good things about it? Yes, I've only read and heard one ordinary review, so come on! After reading nothing but good things you would think this must be brilliant. So, was the hype justified? Hmm… well, I wasn't that hugely impressed with what I saw and I usually enjoy seriously dark and bleak films. It was a fine film I would say, but not great. Was it blown out of proportions? Maybe not? To me it's far from ordinary, but it just didn't blow me away like for others. I guess I'm part of a small minority.

What I did like was the art direction, which was outstanding in capturing such a seedy and murky atmosphere of corruption and menace that is Gotham City. The towering Gotham City suited that of the creature of the night with its dimly lit streets and throbbing shadows creating such uneasy intensity. The production valves were simply opulent and glossy in quality. The dark knight's suit keeps clear of over-the-top suits of ""Batman Forever"" and ""Batman & Robin"" (which overshadowed that film) and in doing so it captures a figure of dread that causes sheer terror and irresistibly subtle in appearance. Which it surely deserves, than that of some fashion statement. On show is a supreme cast. The performances were riveting and that especially goes for the charismatic Michael Caine as Alfred and Cillian Murphy as the sly Dr. Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow. They were the standout performances in my honest opinion. Katie Holmes definitely felt miscast, but her performance wasn't bad. Christian Bale was perfect and suited the presence of the smooth Bruce Wayne and silent and imposing figure of Batman. The likes of Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman made the most of their support roles. Tom Wilkinson and Liam Neeson were so-so in their roles. The script stood out with its intensely sharp and edgy dialogue and dry humour that suited the film.

Though saying that, I didn't find it particularly enjoyable entertainment. Interesting setup yeah, but the film and story just didn't surprise me (the twist involving Liam Neeson's character) or make me think it was anything too special. One thing that got on my nerves was how choppy the action scenes felt and how they really zoomed into those scenes without any clarity or flair. The film felt like it was lacking a strong villain in my eyes, as there was too many that came and went. The Scarecrow was engrossing and rather creepy, but we didn't get much depth out of him nor screen time liked I wished. Carmine Falcone was that of a standard villain and Ducard lacked bite… well, for me he did. The harrowing story lacked real substance and at times it felt kind of flat. It just came across as trying to fit too much into the story, especially towards the end when the quality and originality started to decline in the final 30-minutes, with schematic action sequences, plot details and finale. Though, the plots psychological drama that fills the first half of the film was gripping.

I actually left the cinema feeling rather blank and nor do I care if I don't see it again. Even though this is more faithful and superior to that of the other Batman films, I'll stick with Burton's hammy/cartoonish versions. His Batman films aren't flawless, but I got more out of them.

To sum it up it's not that bad because of smart casting, solid script and a backdrop that looked extraordinary, but overall it just didn't pull me in like I hoped. Though, I give credit to the crew for trying a new ambitious take that goes for a more serious, darker and detail evolution of the Batman legend and thank goodness they steered clear of the abomination they call ""Batman & Robin"".",6
"When I saw this movie in the theater I wasn't impressed at all. I thought the romantic scenes were too much and a bit unbelievable.

I still think that some romantic scenes are unbelievable. For example near the end when Peter rescues MJ from a falling wall they almost have a one hour conversation. However when I saw the movie for the 2nd time on DVD I realized that it is a true interpretation from the comic book in where Spidey and Peter struggle with all facets of life. Therefor I think this second movie is even better than the first because of the romantic struggle.

I think in the end, when the third movie will be done, this second movie will really be an in betweener. Just like, for example, Back to the future II.

I am going to give this one 8 out of ten.",9
The moment the film began and the horrible acting starts things off in the wrong direction for the rest of the film. Eddie and Venom's banter back and forth are the only redeeming qualities of this horrible stinker. Mid credit scene is amazing like everyone else says but it doesn't excuse this crap we just watched.,3
This series is amazing I love how the character is struggling with his social identity disorder. We can see arguments with Mark Spector and Steven Grant Which amazes me honestly. This series is leading to the supernatural and I am seeing a midnight sounds movie in the Works.,8
"Next oscar, very emotional movie, this movie shows about harsh reality if animals especially, Dogs in india, but also shows, how animals act towards humans, just you show atleast 1% love, respect, care, about animals, they took entire life for you, without single hesitation.",9

"Having enjoyed the Harry Potter books and movies, I felt the story had been told well enough, and didn't feel the need for prequels or sequels. So I was in no rush to see this movie. Finally, having seen a preview for the second movie, I felt it was time to watch the first. The previews had dissuaded me as well, because the creatures all seem to be CGI. And they probably are, but I still found myself enjoying the movie. Yes, there were too many computer effects, but the characters and old time setting were fun and well done. The music was also very good. Truthfully, this movie probably couldn't be made with practical, non computer assisted effects, so with what they accomplished, it's actually pretty good. Just not as good as the original series.",7
"Some of the 'experts' say this film will become very dated very quickly. But then, so what? These characters are etched in my brain and I can't even think about some of the classic lines without laughing. You don't have to analyze it too deeply -- just enjoy it.",10
"The Last of Us (2013) combined the sheer despondency of The Road, the grit of No Country for Old Men, to the somberness of Children of Men. You were held emotionally captive, kept overwhelmed by the seriousness of the tone, in juxtaposition to a medium that we usually assume is dominated by dime-a-dozen ""Shoot 'em ups""; ie: Video Games. The Last of Us took itself seriously: via cinematic cutscenes and movie worthy dialogue: demanding respect from it's audience, which was happily given after an apprehensive launch.

You wouldn't remember/know any of that from watching the HBO show. The sheer bleakness of tone was sacrificed in favor of rushed subplots: subtracting from the audience bonding with Joel and Ellie, and witnessing any natural, progressive, slow bonding between them; for mass appeal. Even HBO's Game of Thrones had to pay ""it's dues"" the first couple seasons; Relying on the good will and interest from eager fans of the novel series, to generate enough interest until casual viewers became interested (from which it then exploded into a phenomenon).

Sicario's Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro) and Kate (Emily Blunt) have more accurate chemistry to The Last of Us's characters Joel and Ellie, than the title characters do in this (inaccurate) rendition. I suggest you watch Sicario, and any of the three inspiration films for The Last of Us, or Logan, if you want true representation of how it should FEEL.",1
"I had to get this out of my system, so why not in form of review.

First here goes rant.Screw you Hollywood and yours peace of garbage,streamlined movies for brats.

Now to more constructive review (although, bare in mind if you read mini-series Age of Ultron,I am talking about comics by the way, you are going to be utterly and I repeat utterly disappointed , so don't bother reading further).

First of off when will this going to end ? Serious scenes that should make you sad,mad,scared are turned into comedy.This is fashion that is carrying over from infamous movie for kids (Hobbit 3 I am looking at you).Marvel universe is much more than listening to ""smart cracked jokes"" (to be frank only joke they got right is with Thor's hammer).

Movie has huge problem with pacing, villain is lame (the lamest there it is), I mean how exactly is what you presented in this movie Ultron ?Actually why it's called Age of Ultron ? Was this some agenda to attract more audience like comic fans for example or what ?People who read comics know what I am talking about, it is one of the best mini-series ever created (some people will beg to differ but like I care ..) .

It get's worse when they present Scarlet Witch and her brother Quicksilver.They had introduced two characters that play major role in Marvel Universe and spit at them by giving them like 10 min worth footage ? Action scenes are what you would expect,it's only thing done right.I want write anymore, because with each line I am getting more mad, so I will wrap it with one paragraph.However, before that let me just say, that while first movie didn't live up to my acceptation, I liked it, even with all things they got wrong,as for this one,If I could I would ask manager of cinema to refund my ticket because I would be better of If I had wasted money on something else.

If you are casual, new generation, unaware of MU until first movie and you simply don't give a damn about whole Universe setting,pale attempt, joke of the Avengers movie, go for it, it's made for people just like you.If you fall under category under unaware but willing to dig deeper than I suggest you skip this movie and go for comics.And I don't need to mention rest of us furious , viewers who felt betrayed ,now do I ?",3
"I'm giving this big score only because the movie has a lot of visual effects and big budget! The whole plot was so obvious and made in incredible bad way.

There are not any good jokes(like in Avengers) or something to make this movie different from every other movie with similar plot. I was in the cinema and I fell asleep in one of the biggest fights. The whole experience was really boring and I regret going to watch the movie.

I can't tell which movie was worst first part or second part !

If you are not fan of Captain America save your money, you will thank me later !",5
"Tries to portray itself as hard hitting, unique And complex

In reality its mundane, predictable and nothing we haven't seen before

Endless scenes revolve around screaming/complaining about money/ having long ""emotional"" talks

Kevin bacon is the real Star of this show,the ONLY reason to watch , he acts superbly in this series,

When I saw the first episode I was amazed,it was violent, non PC, had real drama and intrigue

After this episode it All went downhill,it's the same tired old story about "" Brooklyn cash robberies"" corrupt cops, Irish American gangs etc from Ben Affleck

Most of the rest of the characters are Lame charactuires , the tough guy hard drinking/gambling veteran cops, the low level criminal Junkie brother,etc,the skanky women ,

After 4 episodes I had enough, most of the characters were unlikeable so I stopped watching

I was surprised to see tom Fontana was involved in the production,I expected much better from Him,",2
"So the critics are really out of touch with pretty much everything these days. (Sad).

Let me tell you something about me ... I usually speed watch movies / tv series (play it at 1.25 - 1.5 times the normal speed or just skip to the parts that I see as interesting). For the first time in a long while I actually watched a series (binged) without skipping or ff and I'm now on 2nd watch.

Yes there are a few parts that were not great but still a lot better than most shows and movies out now.

I just ordered the books and going to GoG to buy the games :D It has something for all tastes out there.

Edit (2024):

After an initial good season, at least in my opinion, the 2nd one was more of a mixed bag, however the third one went off the fricking cliff. Maybe because I read the books and played the games in the meantime.

But I mean the Geralt form the books and the ones from the show have fewer and fewer things in common as the seasons progress.

And this does not do any good for the character.

I sincerely don't understand the changes. Instead of improving on first season, they just when with the character in completely wrong direction as it progressed.

Yennifer, again why the changes ?! They were very well written characters in the books, why make so drastic changes to them?!

Currently my conclusion is: if you want to be able to enjoy the show for what it is, maybe don't read the books or play the games.

If you want a really good story, read the books then play the games, skip the show. The show does not add anything really to the books or the show it just drags the IP down.",5
"Not even the best oscar winners every year have that much love. Mostly legitimate movies will have a curve in line with their ratings, this is chock full of 8,9, and 10's and then 10% are 1's. The actual reviews are highly suspicious as well, with loads of quick, one sentence reviews giving it a full 10 stars, from one review accounts. Amazing.

This show is nowhere near a 10 even if you love Marvel. It tries some different things to get creative but it just doesn't hold anyone's attention for long or create interest.",3
"I'm not going to bore you with a lengthy review. This is an amazing Netflix series. Brilliantly shot, directed, acted, edited. The story itself is refreshing, although it plays an old tune. The story theme, teenage suicide, is executed appropriately in my opinion. Overall, a must watch.

The reason I took off 1 star is because I can feel the difference in consistency due to the fact that 1 director doesn't helm the entire series. There are several directors that juggle this series and I feel that having just one would have smoothed some bumps in the screenplay.",9
Nonsense. Every single aspect of the movie. Even if you like a action movies... Such a garbage.,2
"The movie perfectly shows the role of animals in human life and the pain of separation as well when someone gets separated from and the feeling is perfectly portrayed in the movie between the hero and Charlie A refreshing tale with perfect blend of love , relationship and emotions which will keep you at the edge of the seat and the movie also changes the stereotypical thinking of the fact that you can only be at the edge of your seat only in thriller or horror movies Rakshit Shetty is the body of the movie , but the real soul of the movie is none other than the Charlie Who perfectly balanced the screentime along with actions throughout the movie with him and thus making it's a lovable and refreshing tale if witness time and again without getting bored.",10
"A GREAT movie in terms of special effects and technical challenges they had to overcome.

Some 'astronauts' have criticised the movie for arcane details they messed up. Who cares? You feel like its genuine space the whole time.

However, for me, the movie seemed to be more about Hollywood showing Hollywood how clever it is with amazing special effects, symbolic use of Sandra's breath and huge technical demands on the actors.

It is easy to get distracted by this but ...

Long 3/4 head shots and dialogue, interspersed with frantic action and an extremely predictable plot based on challenge after challenge after ... challenge did not excite me at all.",5
"This feels like the Star Trek Discovery equivalent of TNG. It is so incredibly dull, it took me ages to get through it, the forceful placement of actors in the quest of 'diversity' is just painful to see every scene. Why stop at making Targaryen's black, let's make the wildlings Chinese and Dorne Indian? It just feels so fake and forced. I do not like any one of the characters, I have no one to root for. I enjoyed Game of Thrones right from the onset, so many places, locations, plot lines, characters, I rewatched it so many times. This is just a painful high school drama with annoying shallow characters. The best part about it is the intro...",2
"I don't know what to say but i have to force myself to watch this for the love of the first 2 season and my love for it. It turned into a damn comedy and sarcasm. Too much dialogue not enough mystery or suspense. It's like one of them ""They're back, welcome your favorite characters!! Aren't they cool!!!! Give them a round of applause!!!""

Closer to Back to the Future than Stranger Things Season 1-2.

Sigh.

I promoted the hell out of this to people that haven't watch the serious. This one is an embarrassment. Not sure what to tell them after watching this.",4

"I don't know why on earth I decided to watch this film, there was nothing that would say that it's worth it, anyway, I did and now I'm sure that it's a waste of time. I rated 2/10 only because of some actions scenes in the beginning (especially when they were trying to get out on a mercedes). Just an empty movie, with no motives, no characters.

Just bad writing.... ...Just finished 2nd season, writing has gotten some better. Still some issues with the writers research. Flat, round, frisbee shaped objects can't be sailed on water. There is no cutting edge. And water plus ammonia make soap. Still, I managed to make it through season 2. And raised my rating from a 2 to a 4. But, in my book, it's not worth a second viewing. Deleted, both seasons.",3

"Only Murders in The Building is a masterpiece. It is perfect and I love it. Every episode is perfect, there is not one flaw with the show. It is a much watch. It might be my favorite show of all time. The performances are fantastic, Marty Short gives a perfect performance as Oliver Putnum, which is probably his best performance and Steve Martin gives a excellent performance that is one of his bests. Selena Gomez's performance really surprised me, she can really act and she was just great, I mean great in this. Without giving spoilers, the story and the other side characters and tenets are also perfectly acted and casted. Nathan Lane was amazing, I mean amazing. His performance and character was one of my favorites. All three of the main characters interacts are real because they are great together off set and Marty and Steve have always been hilarious in this. This show is so funny I laughed out loud so many times, it was so funny. The directing was so good, I was very impressed. I am invested in the story and the characters. All the episodes were perfect but the finale was amazing and that cliffhanger was so perfect, I loved it! I can't wait for season two! I want a lot more seasons of Only Murders in the Building!",10
"My old neighbour insisted I watch the video as it's one of his favourites. William Macy is simply brilliant but I found the actress who played the cop excruciating. The photography was very ordinary and the direction likewise. The story itself was interesting and there were spots of mostly unintentional humour. Apart from that, there's little worth commenting about on what is generally a forgettable 1990s offering.",7
"I love good fantasy (no pun intended), and this is good fantasy. As others have said, great writing, great actors and acting (not a single duff performance), and a plot that you want to keep following. The chemistry between Matthew and Diana has been obvious from the start, which doesn't always happen even when characters are supposed to be madly in love. It takes two actors who understand the essentials of sexual attraction to portray it convincingly, with just the right amount of smouldering, held back intensity that you know is going to end up in bed. I'm not sure that I wanted it spelled out (again no pun intended) quite so graphically in one scene, as we all know what goes on when two people jump passionately onto one another, and prurience isn't my thing. Can't wait for Season 2. I am not even going to dock any stars for one of my pet hates, a cliché used by many film and series makers and last annoyingly seen in Alex Ryder, and this is the inexplicable colour co-ordination in shades of aqua, teal and turquoise with splashes of red and orange, plus shooting through a blue-green filter which makes white look like pale blue. I know that some scenes need to be dark and forbidding, but not every scene benefits from being muted with a filter. Stop it! But even this distraction faded as I watched the plot unfold. Super-duper series!",10
"I hate to blast this movie because Hanks was so great but...

As a gay man I was both horrified and pleased by this film. For one thing, it dealt with AIDS--I believe this was the first movie like that from a major Hollywood studio. Also Tom Hanks was absolutely great in the movie. And it looks good and treated gay men rather well (considering it's a major studio film). Still...this movie does NOT show AIDS as it really is. I've seen friends die of it so I know what I'm talking about. Also there is NO affection shown between Hanks and Banderas (they play lovers). There's one quick kiss and a little hugging--that's it. Heaven forbid we show them kissing! That would disgust people! Also Hanks family being behind him and so noble--COME ON! NO family like that exists! They hired a bunch of great actors (especially Joanne Woodward) but I didn't believe them for one second. Also the anti-gay remarks got to me. Yeah, I know they're trying to make a point but still... And all the gays being stereotypically swishy or noble got annoying. And AIDS is no longer an automatic death sentence.

So, the acting is great except for Denzel Washington. It was a good piece of casting (Washington has admitted that he's homphobic) but he's terrible. Maybe it was hitting him too close to what he's really like.

If you want to see a true picture of AIDS get ""Longtime Companion"" or ""It's My Party"". If you want to see a sanitized, stereotyped, incorrect version of gays and AIDS, by all means see this.",6
"Sorry, but it was. To me it seemed some evil villain surgically removed most of the characters' humour (they try, sometimes it works, but often it comes out just strained) and replaced it with pompousness and ostentatious sentimentality. The story is pushed onwards with obvious effort, scenes pile up with an obvious primary intention to impress and move, gone is the joy, fun and ease of the first Avengers. It looked a little like Marvel was trying to give birth to a DC movie and the labour was hard indeed.",3
"The action was really good although it's very brutal, the violence it's severe, I just thought it was to long for an action movie.",5
"With ""WandaVision"" Marvel pushed boundaries and decided to do something truly different for once. This raised my hopes for next entry of the fourth phase of the MCU. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed. There are well directed fighting scenes, creators touched many delicate topics, but characters are pretty average: no one really stand out. The spotlight is mainly on The Falcon, The Winter Soldier is just a supporting role, and honestly does not take much screen time. I wish screenwriters developed him deeper, telling more details about his past, and how he became the person that he is today. Unfortunately movies did not managed to do this properly, in my opinion. The show was the perfect opportunity to really exploit him at the maximum.

The series treats many interesting topics, however sometimes I have to admit that is too political. The speech of Falcon on the last episode contains a few interesting points, but I did not like at all how he pictured Flag Smashers. Motives of the group are in some extents noble; the leader just wants the best for humanity after the blip, contrasting unfair decisions by the UN Congress. Still their actions most of the time are unjustified, so I would call them terrorists, without any regrets. Disney wanted to give a different perspective, but I was not convinced. They could definitely use some political background, but this feels forced.

Titling this series just ""The Falcon"" would be fairer to be honest. It is a generic production that wanted to be something more, but cannot deliver. Action and editing are very neat, but nothing extraordinary. Marvel decided to play safe this time, once again a lost of opportunity to create something that would put some distance to similar productions.",6
"Wow, this was bad. Like others have said, it was like watching someone play a video game shooter.

The film feels like it was written and directed by a 12 year old boy trying to just cram as much graphic violence in as possible to see how much he could get away with.

There is no tension whatsoever (Keanu is bullet proof). We are asked to consider him the hero even though he murders nearly everybody he comes into contact with, usually by shooting them in the head (sometimes multiple times, just for good measure). The plot is virtually non-existent (Keanu's car is stolen and his dog killed, so he goes on a killing spree, the end).

If you want to see a good ""pure"" action movie, go and watch an Arnie film from the 80's.

If you want to see ultra violent movies done right watch Kill Bill Part 1.

But avoid this. It's terrible.",2
"Talk To Me is an independent Australian film with an interesting premise that replaces the Ouija board with a hand that looks like an old artifact. The funny thing is that it was directed by 2 youtubers and it is a well-executed independent film, which is quite an achievement for this pair of directors as this is their first film debut. Of course, the concept of teenagers messing with something supernatural without considering the consequences may already be somewhat cliché, but it is enjoyable and shocking at times. It has a simple, but accomplished story. Of course, the matter of Mia's parents could have been delved into more, since there was still more to offer. The horror setting is well executed and doesn't bother to offer jump scares. Simply, it offers a story with a dark and terrifying atmosphere that appeals to the psychology of the protagonist. The story focuses a lot on the rupture suffered by the group of friends after playing with forces beyond their comprehension. The makeup and special effects were also praised well. So you could say that Talk To Me is a fairly conventional independent horror film that isn't very innovative, but it is a film that fulfills its purpose and is recommended as a curiosity to those who are horror fans. My final rating for this movie is 9/10.",9
"Poor direction and the story is patched together.

Some nice shots but the sequences are impactful.

The sequel is a clear step down from the original.",2
"The Good: The CG is a big step up, its visually arresting. The way he beats the villain in the end was smart and interesting.

The Bad: Characters are unlikeable, the villain feels like he's barely in this one. Pace is slow, this was one of the most boring MCU films.

Though Doctor Strange is could've felt fantastic and high-concept. It instead was dull and unenthusiastic. One of the weaker MCU outings.",4
The car must be made of the same steel coursing through my grandads veins. Zero damage even after all the violence of the opening scene,7
"This show has a bad production, the sets look fake and the costumes look cheap, the visual effects are very bad, I don't know how a second season was made but it's really really bad, also it is super boring, it has no action, no suspense, nothing!",3
"Sadly this is the most awful work of Spielberg I have ever seen. I was waiting for it to get going but never did. It was extremely slow and drawn out I did fall asleep twice. I was looking forward to seeing how he got his movie ideas and working in Hollywood. But this was just incredibly boring and numbingly long and tedious. I just wanted to shout get on with it a million times. I think even the actors found it boring too. It was just a boys story like any other but absolutely nothing special, walked out utterly disappointed. Sorry hate to say it but don't waste your money on this garbage.......",1
"As expected by the budget and length to produce the CGI effects were wonderful, but I wish they had spent more time in the story / character development. The movie turns out to be a three hour long showcase of what a team can do with current technology. But after you get past the visual effects, the story gets stale and you begin to lose interest in the characters. There appeared to be a lot of B-roll that simply was not important in the story telling. The film began to lose the audience attention roughly halfway through and I noticed quite a few people getting up to use the washroom. The character development was limited also to a person's perception of the dialogue, you never really feel emotionally attached. I saw the movie in 3D and would recommend that format, but that is the only recommendation I can make for this film.",4
"Dunkirk is the true story about British, French, and Belgium soldiers that are trapped on the beach of Dunkirk waiting for rescue, while the German empire surrounds them.

First off, this movie is beautifully filmed. The cinematography alone is worth seeing. The places they chose to film were great and fitted the movie perfectly. Even though there is hardly any Character development in this movie, everyone did a good job. The action was also a pretty awesome strength to the movie. The ship battles and the dogfights were great and very well filmed. Easily the best part of the movie (for me) was the soundtrack and the sounds. The soundtrack made the movie feel so tense and epic. And also the Guns, planes, bombs, and explosions sounded very realistic. It made you feel like you were actually there.

So overall i enjoyed this movie for what it was; but that being said, it is very overrated and not the masterpiece everyone says it is.

When i first heard that Christopher Nolan (the director of one of my favorite movies The Dark Knight) was directing this movie, i was so hyped and had huge expectations. But sadly not all of them were met. I wanted the movie to have some ground battles but they were mostly in the air or in the ocean. I wanted solid characters but the entire movie is dedicated to the battle. The movie does drag sometimes and its not always interesting. Before i saw this movie i saw an ocean of positive reviews, some saying that this is one of the best war movies ever made. But after seeing it myself, i was not agreeing.

In the end, I did find myself enjoying Dunkirk but it is overrated. Its not ""The Best Movie Of The Year"" nor ""The best War Movie Ever Created"". Its a solid and accurate movie on a real life event. I'm giving it a 7/10 or a solid B.",7
"I didn't find interesting this film. Story is very cliche. Actions were pretty good that's why I'm giving 3 otherwise It's a zero from me.

Upgraded version of Bajrangi Bhaijaan.

A nation's whole forces can't be corrupted to a drug dealer. That's a lame point of the movie to be honest.",3
"Before my favorite movie if 2023, the color purple, was released. Barbie was my favorite of that year, having seen it twice in theaters and once on rewatch. I thought nothing was going to surpass it, after another rewatch it is still in my top 3, only being surpassed by the color purple and Oppenheimer. Featuring one of my favorite actors, Margot Robbie, I knew I was in for a treat.

Barbie has one of the most powerful storylines of the year, instead of focusing on cancel culture and toxicity (like a certain Black Christmas remake) Barbie focuses on actually empowering women to the fullest, with tons of heartfelt messages about acceptance, self-love, and insecurity.

Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling are both brilliant here, every scene is beautifully shot and directed. And it has one of the most powerful ones with the old woman on the bench, along with one of the best song and dance sequences I've ever seen in my life.

Barbie gives a new definition to pretty in pink, A+",10
"Firstly, I could not be happier for Karl Urban; he and the whole cast do a very good job here. I'm down to go at least 3 seasons with this lot - from the get go.

This tale of the pursuit of personal vengeance gone awry has just enough complexity, humour, and human nature for me to let the dodgy superhero costumes fade into the background.

The script is good, the sound track is good, performances are believable; the cinematography is really good.

As a competitor to The Umbrella Academy, I think this is a very good contender and could actually make for a very interesting take on many of the things we love to hate; the Military Industrial Complex, Corporate Greed, Political Corruption, Irrational Enmity between People, Star Crossed Love - you know all the things that make life interesting.

The superhero aspect is probably the least interesting part of the equation and It felt as if they chose as the vehicle just because it sells, which is in itself not a bad thing.

Very binge worthy and I am glad they put it all out at once so I could do exactly that - binge away.",7
"Mind numbingly dull characters, lame story, cardboard acting. I expected more from a marvel production.",5
This isn't just an action-comedy movie... It is a beautiful story that beholds complex emotions from the beginning to the end.,9
"I am a High School teacher and this show really hit me hard. I think this is something all HS teachers and students should watch. It is raw, it is hard to watch, its heartbreaking and yet we can all relate.I think this helps remind all of us that how we treat each other makes a difference. I cannot praise this show enough for being honest and bringing a taboo topic into mainstream media, especially media being directed at teenagers.

I would highly recommend this to everyone, and in doing so suggest trying to really take something from it, I know that I did.",7
"This show was okay for a Sunday afternoon on the couch, a really time waster. Not exactly episodes with a massive hook but an easy watch...then we get to the end and realise we have just wasted roughly 6 hours of our lives for a thriller that's ending would have been obvious if it wasn't so nonsensical.

I really enjoy mini series- especially thrillers with multiple possible endings but this one just did not hit the mark at all. The episodes were long and drawn out at times. We would have given up if not my slight OCD tendency to need to finish something we have started.

My advice would be to give this one a miss.",4
Wow If this film is spectacular and weird And I loved every single second of it I also think the cast was perfect especially ryan gosling Marga robbie If you want a film Makes you feel everything that has to do with happy I highly recommend this film I Also the Is over all message of the film Was pretty positive and great And no humans Are definitely not perfect And I just think that's the Positive message anyone could say in a film I definitely hope this film gets a sequel And I also think that it was very clever the way they Is made this Is film self aware And even the greater appeared herself Highly recommended.,8
"I used to love this but what a total disappointment this series is.

It's all been done so many times before, the alternative reality theme is just so boring now.

The Bergerac Scottish thing was totally predictable.

How can something once so groundbreaking and innovative end up like this.

The acting is superb throughout but that's about all.

I blame Netflix, they ruin everything they touch and the new charges just to use my own account on a different WiFi stream is daylight robbery. They've charged me an extra £5 this month for the privilege. Check your accounts guys, all the terms and conditions have changed to watch rubbish like Black Mirror.

I'll never watch any further series after this.",1
"Even while being predictable for most part of it, this one still turned out to be a thoroughly engaging and enjoyable solid roller coaster of a ride with really compelling performances and a real good and enjoyable jukebox accompanying it on a constant basis (even if one or two songs and tunes felt unnecessary in some situations).

I also do have to say that even with the good performances from everybody involved, Radhika apte, with her given short screen time, turned out to be the most fun to watch and i guess character wise, she'd be the only takeaway for me on a memorable basis as she portrayed a kinda steriotyped character, also one that i have seen only men do, really well and in an effective manner.

This was neatly written, evenly paced and didn't turn out to be a messy headache(though still interesting) like ludo and i guess that's the reason why I loved this.",7
"Mr. Gowarikar - I am now a true fan.

I did not much like Lagaan because I was put off by the cricket fantasy component in the film, by the unreal premise. But with Swades Ashutosh Gowarikar has shown that he can make a mature movie on a burning topic, make it in an almost documentary style, yet keep the hearts and minds of the audience engaged. Swades shows the current ills in rural India (which BTW have changed little over the years) in a gentle - nudging us into realization - way. The main point is not that a little reservoir is built and electricity generated, but the fact that given the right catalyst, change can happen from within the confines of this rural society and at the local level. The story is simplistic at best but somehow resonates with young and old alike. The usual trappings are present but are very subdued, the ensemble of characters is so authentic I am convinced that he spent a fair amount of time in a village studying the social structure there.

What I loved: The building of the tale - The slow acceptance of rural life by the NRI Mohan - sleeping in camper, then on a string bed (Khatiya), bathing in the camper, then at the well. The village caste and social hierarchy - most authentically portrayed by the open air cinema with the upper castes in front and the dalits (lower casts) behind the screen - subtle! The desire to better one's life abroad - MelaRam was amazing! The Village panchayat, the wrestling, the post office (and postmaster!), the Ramlila - these slices of village life were amazing.

The portrayals - Mohan - could any one but SRK have done this role as well? I doubt it. With his glam sort of image in the usual fare, you expect certain things in his portrayals - but all I saw was the nerdy engineer Mohan. There was no evidence of the superstar persona - just the simple engineer type, perturbed by all he sees around him, unable to comprehend why things are the way they are, then in true engineer type problem solving way setting out to slowly change things. His breakdown on the rent collection trip ending in buying and drinking water at a small train station is the most intense and yet underplayed performance I have ever seen. I NEVER cry in films and I was looking for the Kleenex in these shots! Kudos to the award deciders, if they had given him an award for Veer Zaara over Swades I would never ever look at these awards for any validation of any kind.

Gayatri Joshi as Geeta was good, a bit polished looking, but she was a Delhi educated girl so OK. She held her own in almost every scene and said much using her eyes and expressions.

Kaveriamma - we need more mother types roles to go to her, I wanted her to be my Mom! Nivaranji, MelaRam, the entire gram panchayat, what an assemblage of authentic characters.

The music - I have heard that this is ARR's personal favorite album. It shows - the road song is fabulous, Yeh Tara, Dekho naa, are divine. But the top award goes to Yeh jo des hai tera sung by the Maestro himself. This is some of the best music to come along after a long time and the previous stuff like this for me was - yes you guessed it - ARR and Dil se.

The bad: The Sanwariya song is beautiful but could be chopped out to shorten the film, ditto for the Ramlila sequence. Some of the stuff was a bit preachy but then in Hindi cinema the obvious often needs to be stated.

Overall this is among my all time favorite movies - I will be watching out for the next one from Mr. G. Above all, thank you for wringing such a career best performance out of SRK, we knew there was good stuff in him, just needed to see it again.",10
Thrust for entrepreneurship. Nicely shown. Worth watching.,10
"Captain America: Civil War is a movie that serves as opening to Phase 3 of MCU, and is 2nd MCU movie by Russo Brothers. That means we are bound to have it different. Considering Dawn of Justice came out month and half ago, and with all DC vs Marvel nonsense, and duels between heroes, it is hard not to compare those two movies. Which is a reason I decided to write this review, as both DC and Marvel fan - because I read a lot of both Civil War and Dawn of Justice reviews, and I can't help but notice some... irregularities.

Civil War is NOT best superhero movie ever (title still belongs to The Dark Knight from DC, and Guardians of Galaxy from Marvel), and it's NOT how Versus movie should be done either. But that doesn't mean this is bad movie.

Movie starts way too slowly, and it takes almost whole hour to pick up. when it does, everything happens too fast. Main battle between characters feels chaotic, and not in War-like, good kind of way. It feels rushed. not to mention that it's quite overcrowded movie (which I happen to find funny, because no pro critic mentions that), some characters don't even get justice, and their point of view remains... untold? This IS Avengers 2.5, not Captain America 3, as whole Cap's goal, and Cap's story doesn't get necessary depth.

Movie lacks good continuity. It is fun at moments, then at some you are wondering how long until movie ends. Movie shouldn't last 2.5 hours, filled with cheesy lines, unnecessary parts. Movie would maybe be best superhero movie ever if it lasted hour and 40. Plus from me is that there are no usual Marvel jokes, and whole movie feels SLIGHTLY darker than usual, which is plus from me.

of all characters, development was left for few. Spiderman (Tom Holland is BEST Peter Parker we ever had. As for spider-man himself, I need to see more. there is great potential, but for now I think Garfield's one is better for just a hair), Black Panther, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, Falcon - all got developed greatly. On other hand, Vision was quite disappointing, along with Iron Man, Black Widow, Warmachine. Tony is annoying as ever, but this time it feels that writers juggled way too much with his development. Ant man, along with Spidey, is something that made movie MUCH better, but still - Ant man felt way too rushed. still, amazing addition. You'll enjoy every second when Ant Man and Spiderman are on screen. I could watch whole movie with just two of them. If those two weren't in movie, movie itself would be mediocre. Which is silly, because movie shouldn't be pulled that much forward by two side characters.

Main Villain - Zemo, is forgettable. Even Crossbones was much more impressive. Zemo was so bad villain that you will forget about him after few days. It's nothing we haven't seen in past iron man movies.

There is really stupid analogy to Dawn of Justice, which no one cares about, because it's Marvel. It's not same, it goes opposite direction, but boy, it's so... Dunno. Disappointing.

All in all - Civil War IS better than Dawn of Justice, for sure, but this is not best superhero movie ever (people said same for Age of Ultron, yet... that was far from truth) . One fight does not make whole movie, and whole versus thing is incomparable to Dawn Of Justice - it's two different kind of versus, both aren't what we deserve. We are now getting too much Superhero movies that we have to set bars higher each time. Civil war did not follow that through, although it appealed to general fans in certain ways. Still, Civil War kept marvel spirit, looking forward to infinity war (only). Sadly, predictability was also kept, so as most of marvel movies - story is bit predictable.

I rate it 7/10, same as I rate Dawn of Justice. Is it amazing movie? it's good. Does it have predictable moments? Sure. And unneeded ones? Of course. Should you watch it? Sure, man, it's nice flick, especially with friends. Decent opening to Phase 3, but I expected better. Guardians of Galaxy and Winter Soldier remain as better movies, in my opinion, while this story is as good as Iron Man 1, or Ant man.",1
"I've never seen a character with so much potential be brought to so much shame. With its PG-13 Rating, Venom 2 is extremely limited in every single action scene. Nobody wants to see carnage throw tables at people, or simply fling them off screen for every person he ""kills"".

In it's simplest form, venom 2 feels like a G rated Ted Bundy movie where they make him appealable and cute ruining the entire experience.",1

Nothing quite brings me back as accurately as this movie, it's kind of like a new aged Dazed and Confused. This film just reminds me of a simpler time when there wasn't so much to worry about. It somehow catches that essence of high school where fitting in was the first thing on our minds. If you haven't seen this movie watch it asap!",9
"The only reason I am not giving this a 10 is you don't release this amazing show without announcing the season II release date. Yes, I am talking to you Netflix. Henry Cavill acting is phenomenal and so are Anya and Joey Batey's singing. This show takes you to a new dimension of fantasy, magic and adventure. A truly mix of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Game of thrones. I don't normally leave reviews but this is one for the books! Thank you Netflix!",9
"I'm so impressed. I haven't been stricken with genuine horror and a deep feeling of dread watching a movie in so long. I am at that point in my life where I thought horror just wasn't going to do it any more, but this movie proved me wrong. Literally reignited my childhood paranormal phobia and made a cat in someones window jump scare me on the walk home. Totally fresh and unique concept with lore that has you hooked and wanting to know more. It's simplicity with no desire to wrap things up nicely or follow a simple horror formula really worked in its favour. Sound design was amazing and so sharp, in the cinema you're gonna flinch. The soundtrack was just so cool too. Just watch this in the cinema if you can please, you're in for a treat.

I am so eager to see where the promise of this director goes.",9
"The Dark Knight Rises was an interesting movie with a very interesting message, but so far as entertainment value goes I can't help but feel it missed the mark. While it had a strong start, the first half entirely enjoyable, the movie breaks down in the wake of Bane's initial triumph and seems to plod on about an hour too long from there. While I'm a big fan of the actor who plays Bane, thinking his work in the movie Bronson was tremendous, the character is too one-dimensional to be an effective follow-up to the Joker, and can only provide some enjoyable fight-scenes.

What I'm wondering is this: how many of you out there picked up on the message of this film? It's not exactly subtle. While in the first movie Gotham was clearly a fantasy-city full of weird monorails and towering, Gothic skyscrapers, it became an every-city in the second movie, largely indistinguishable from any other. In this movie however, it's entirely clear what Gotham resembles and represents: New York City. From the Islands to the bridges, it looks just like it all of a sudden. What they've done here with this film is produce a thinly veiled criticism of the Occupy movement, and similar sentiments that are against rampant capitalism. Think about it. When Batman saves the innocent hostages from Bane's evil clutches, who are they? Stock brokers, from Gotham's Wall Street. When Bane gives his 'we the people' speeches, who does he sound like, talking about rising up against financial oppressors and retaking the streets from corruption? A lot like occupy. The one character in the movie who criticizes wealth itself? Evil betrayer. Alternative and green energy solutions? Turns out they're evil too, and terribly dangerous. If you understand the applications of film as propaganda, this is a pretty blatant example... and, like most superhero movies these days (Avengers, Man of Steel, etc.), it insists on conjuring up images of 9/11, with clouds of dust filling streets and chasing fleeing citizens. The habit of using that image to try and get people emotionally attached to an action sequence is to me an example of Hollywood at it's most crass.",5
"When I read the enthusiastic reviews in Italy and I saw this movie ranked 1st in the IMDb's Top 250, I thought: ""It's strange, the other Batman (Begins) was not so brilliant, what's happening with this sequel? Is it really this masterpiece? Is it really in the same league with movies like 'Clockwork Orange' or 'Apocalypse now'?"". No, it's not in the same league. Not at all. When I saw it, my delusion was strong. It's a good blockbuster action movie, but nothing more. Let's see.

The following comments contain spoilers. Be careful.

The script is not so original. There are tons of action sequences, but… what can I say? I've seen it all. I've seen the robbery made by violent people, fighting against the guards and killing each others (in all pulp tradition, since ""Reservoir Dogs""). I've seen the ransom in China by plane (""Spy Games""). I've seen those action sequences with cars and armored vehicles in all American movies. (And this Batmobile is really awkward). I've seen the killer who kills by chance (""No Country for Old Men""). I've seen the super-mega-sadistic-mad-chaotic-evil-serial-killer in action who creates dilemmas and plays with his victims (in ""Seven"" and in the ""Saw"" saga). I've seen it all: ""The Dark Knight"" is nothing new. And it's very predictable: you really can predict any sequence before seeing it. There are a lot of absurdities. The heroes could kill The Joleker dozens of times, but they never do it. Why? Are they retarded? The ""two ships dilemma"" (I don't want to reveal more about that scene) is not realistic at all. There are only a couple of surprises, but the 2/3 of the movie doesn't create any suspense. What about the actors? The only two heroes of acting in this movie are Heath Ledger and Aaron Eckhart. Heath Ledger, with his Joker, bears quite the entire movie. All the other characters became secondary. Aaron Eckhart is really powerful and he confirms his talent shown in ""Thank You for Smoking"". What about the others? Christian Bale is one of the most talented actors of his generation, but in this movie he keeps only one expression all the time, with or without mask. His Batman has no personality. Maggie Gyllenhaal is one of the most interesting (and underrated) independent actresses of the New Hollywood, since ""The Secretary"". But in this movie she can act only in few sequences and she has no chance to show her real talent. Morgan Freeman and Michael Cane are giants, but in this movie they barely appear. Finally: I've never seen so many waste of talent! The good side of the coin in Christopher Nolan's work is: his philosophy. It's really positive and constructive and all his movie is coherent about it. It's just like the positive answer to ""No Country for Old Men"" and to modern nihilism: in the Cohen's movie, Evil is the absence of values and it's unstoppable. In ""The Dark Knight"", Evil is again the absence of values, but it's a minority, not the rule. So, we can fight Evil and defeat it, with or without super-heroes. But all those themes could be and should be explored better. ""The Dark Knight"" explores nothing.",5
"I feel like the series got a very good start and they manage to capture the audience attention through the trailer and how it tell the story. Another good point the crew make is that the way how they introduce the world and character. However , I feel like it would be better to make a full horror movie than this kind because I feel like it got both genre that fit for 13+ and horror which make the movie is like you know what I mean. Moreover, i feel like they are too ambitious with the character since they got more character than they need and some of them got more time than the other and some character can just be remove without big impact on the plot. Nevertheless, the audio is so good and like I said before since it a Tim Burton movie, it got a interesting way to tell the story. Last but not least, I have to give credit to the actor since they did a outstanding performance but the visual effect is like so bad and I find it ridiculously bad which is the main reason I only give it a 7 when it deserve a 8.",7
Starts off a little strangely. You will definitely wonder what is going on. All questions have answers. And these answers are insanely cool. WATCH THIS. You won't regret it.,9
"I should have know better. The hype was just too much. At the end of the day, it's just another superhero movie. And not a very good one at that. Yes, there's plenty of action but do we really care? I know ""Wonder Woman"" was a big hit but did anyone over the age of nine really leave the theater talking about how great this movie was? I find it hard to believe. ""Wonder Women"" is a typical cookiecutter superhero movie. Yawn.",5
"This right here is the series we've all been waiting for, this is the series that says the truth. This is the series that makes everything naked. I know there had been many films about politics in India, the Police Department, but trust me, most of them are exaggerated and a few made to the top. But this is the series that tells us how it actually is, neither shallow nor deep. Indian series got into another level through this one. I would love to suggest it to Indian viewers and to foreign viewers as well, don't worry, you won't have to research, It's that good!",9
"The trial of the finest and best series in recent times with top notes performances specially Kajol , she is the best actress ever seen in world cinema , she is the perfect and the only choice for this role , from wife to mother , friend , lover and lawyer which portrayed her character brilliant and the chemistry with both Jisshu Sen Gupta and ally khan are just perfect , other then Kajol I like ally khan as a boos and Gaurav Pandey as a junior lawyer. After performances dialogues, music , cinematography, BGM and direction on top , the trial basically 20% courtroom drama ans 80% based on relationships..",8
"Let me say at the start: Incredible Imagination! But if you are looking for a 'space' movie, don't even bother.

I watched this movie for, well, some visual graphics! And boy there stunning! Liked the imagination of life on another planet and also how it was portrayed. I signed for a special space journey. How did I get? It was 40 minutes into the movie that saw some action. Lot of heavy accented and emotional drivel were served before and prior that. Ok, so 20 minutes of 'real' action out of first 95 minutes. Still hopeful (Its a long long movie),'then again 10 minutes of graphics and action. Then incredible imagination! Loved that but wasn't watching this movie fir imagination. And then it ended. 3 hours passed by, out of which only 30 minutes of space-time (No pun intended). So, it boils down to what you signed for. Emotional drama or space expedition. If the later is your choice then you shall be terribly, terribly disappointed for 124 years. By the way, the robot was really sarcastic and fantastic!",3
"Well...I was super hyped for this series, even if at first I thought Henry Cavill wouldn't be the best fit for playing Geralt. Turns out he is actually the main reason to keep watching. For me, Cavill plays the most convincing and you can clearly see that Geralt is the only character that has been truly worked out. I REALLY didn't enjoy the first few episodes but after watching further it got better and I grew to quiet like it and even love it at times. My main issues are that so much (sadly) doesn't feel right. Things are rushed that shouldn't be (the complexity of Geralt, meaning his conflict between feeling emotions even though as a Witcher he shouldn't) and some are dragged out to a point I was happy I could skip it (Ciri in this weird forest and Yennefers backstory before she became a sorceress). Too much fighting in Cintra for my taste, rushed and over dramatized backstories, sometimes really bad writing and directing. Now, why is it still worth 7 stars? Pretty much any Geralt scene was great. Loved his interactions with Jaskier and Roach and when he was off fighting some monsters. I liked the humor and the sword fights. I think they just wanted to put too much into one season. Why not only focus on the backstories and then go on ahead. Or just leave them out and show glimpses of them. Let the viewers adapt to this world, let them go with Geralt on monster hunts, into some taverns and after all that you can introduce all those characters you want in there too. In a way we got all of that but it felt like it was all over the place and only for such a short time before it changed back to Yennefer or Ciri (wich for me sadly weren't written all too well). The series failed at gripping you and pulling you into this universe. I hope they will improve some stuff for the next season as this series and Geralts story has so much potential!",6
"I don't know what people are looking for here, but definitely it's not an Emmy's award winner, not a deep and twisted script series. Take it for what is it: a fun ride!

First, the cast is great. Didn't expect Sidney Prescott here! (Scream), or people from Mayans MC. Most of the main characters do an acceptable job here. Love it.

Second, Fx's are pretty cool. Good point the blood does look real most of the time, so great for gory fans like me.

Last, music is great. As other said the music fits perfectly with the action and goofy-gory scenes.

So, overall a great series just for entertainment. I didn't know it is based in a video game and I think you don't need to know anything to enjoy. But I think it's even better if you know about it. Consequently, if you're in a mood of short episodes (30 min) of a goofy gory action series, go for it.",8
When heroes become an entertainment industry under the law of performance and profit. Making money is more important than serving the right purpose. Some ordinary gars rise up and try to destroy this strong system.,7
Good acting Awful story Social message was preachy and unnecessary In my opinion it was a waste of a great location and Intersting characters,5
"""12 Years a Slave"" is a powerful and gut-wrenching drama based on the true story of Solomon Northup, a free black man from upstate New York who is kidnapped and sold into slavery in the pre-Civil War United States. The film is directed by Steve McQueen, and stars Chiwetel Ejiofor as Northup, as well as Michael Fassbender, Lupita Nyong'o, and Brad Pitt.

One of the strengths of ""12 Years a Slave"" is its unflinching depiction of the horrors of slavery. The film doesn't shy away from the brutality, cruelty, and dehumanization that were an everyday reality for enslaved people in the antebellum South. From the moment Northup is kidnapped and taken away from his family, the film paints a bleak picture of what life was like for him and others like him.

The performances in ""12 Years a Slave"" are also outstanding, particularly from Ejiofor and Nyong'o. Ejiofor delivers a nuanced and emotionally resonant portrayal of Northup, capturing both his strength and resilience in the face of unimaginable hardship, as well as his moments of despair and hopelessness. Nyong'o, in her breakthrough role, is heartbreaking as Patsey, a young enslaved woman who suffers terribly at the hands of her cruel master.

However, while ""12 Years a Slave"" is undoubtedly a well-made and important film, it is not without its flaws. The pacing is slow and deliberate, which can make the film feel long and drawn-out at times. Additionally, some of the supporting characters feel underdeveloped and one-dimensional, particularly the white slave owners and overseers.

Overall, ""12 Years a Slave"" is a powerful and moving film that offers a harrowing look at a dark chapter in American history. While it may not be an easy watch, it is an important one that sheds light on a painful legacy that still resonates today. While not perfect, it is certainly worth watching for its strong performances and unflinching portrayal of the horrors of slavery.",7
"I'd give it a 20/10 if I could. The first time I've watched it I was 10ish, didn't understand much of it but still enjoyed it so so much. Now, 9 years later, rewatching this show brings tears to my eyes. It literally has no cons, it is philosophical, inspirational, funny but serious in the same time. If you haven't watched this I've got no words for you but GO watch it RIGHT now.",10
"This film had lots of potential to be something very cool and special. Unfortunately it did not use this opportunity up. Venom is now like Deadpool, for some reason making Jokes non stop. This should have been R rated to really achieve its full potential. The design on Carnage looked great Woody Harrelson did a good performance.",5
"Boring film, a flat story without sense, netflix will also be a great Power as a streaming platform but the films are better made by real film companies like MGM, WARNER BROS, UNIVERSAL ....",4
"This film has a bit more maturity than its predecessor. It is no longer goofy fun with a relatable high schooler, it is some character development of a struggling young adult. That said, it is still a fun film with great effects and action. However, some of it was a bit repetitive.",8
"As a Harry Potter fan since the pre-film Harry Potter times, I was clearly extremely excited about the expansion of the magical world that I had come accustomed to explore in the film theatre. The awe-inspiring creativity and ability to project a completely new world onto the screen was what kept on bringing me and millions others back year after year to watch the next instalment of the Harry Potter saga. However, this is a new saga, and, unfortunately, as the reviewer from Entertainment Weekly aptly described, this one seems ""numbingly inconsequential."" Do not get me wrong, this is not a bad film. But it is not a *good* film either. It is just fine. And that is disappointing.

I found it hard to get into the story for the first hour or so. It just did not grab my attention, despite of all the action going on. Later on, I did find myself engrossed in the film, but that was not quite enough. The darkness that the HP films went to by the end is well maintained here. The visuals are beautiful. The CGI is amazing and even a notch better than the last couple of Harry Potter films. There is nothing wrong per se. It is just lacking an emotional connection. And that may be because it is compared to Harry Potter and if we are holding the film to that standard, it never will live up to it. It just cannot. The most redeeming factor for me was the feeling that it was very appropriate to have such a bleak view of the U.S. in the wake of Donald Trump's election. While this was overall not quite as exciting nor engaging as I had hoped it would be, it did set a stage with enough unknowns about this new wizarding world of the U.S. that it will probably easily give itself to the other 4 sequels. Maybe they will develop this emotional connection that this first instalment failed to achieve.",6
"So catching this in 2020, I'm well over the targeted age demographic for this movie.

Having been a teenager in the 1980's the movie equivalent of this would have been 'Porkys' IMHO. To that end as a 'coming of age' movie, it does a good job. However, the recurrent themes were laboured (e.g trying to buy alcohol underage, losing one's virginity) and left me feeling that this could have been considerably shortened from its 1h 50 to 1h 30m.

All in all, probably better suited (and indeed intended) for the teens to twenties age group",6
"If you are watching this expecting it to have anything in common with The Addams Family other than the name, you will be disappointed. Rather than being the odd, creepy, but loving daughter and sister of the TV show, comics and movies, Wednesday is an obnoxious, two dimensional, know it all pain in the rear. She has been turned into the stereotypical good at everything, smarter than the adults, ""strong"" female lead that Hollywood can't help churning out. Hopefully, the writers will add more depth to her character as the series goes on. Until them, the series is a disappointment to anyone familiar with the original Addams Family.",2
Plot actors and screenplay is amazing. A very fresh take,10
"At the time of writing, the season finale hasn't aired yet, but it has become obvious that even though the individual episodes do - on the surface - appear to be unrelated, there definitely appears to be some sort of overarching plot that'll weave some ""sense"" to it all.

The animation style is pretty loyal to the movies presentation, but personally I find the lip-sync lacking somewhat ... almost as if either the voice actors or editors had opted to doing a rushed job ""it's good enough""; it just feels... off.

That having been said, the individual episodes have ranged from ""m'eh"" to ""okay"" ... they've been quite similar to the What If -comics taking place in a MCU setting, but admittedly I haven't seen any of them as specially memorable.",7
This is a very solid series with a promising premise. It really gets the style down well with a lot of 80s homages. The first season is the best as it has an intense build up and reveals its secrets slowly. The other seasons got a bit silly and repetitive. The characters and science fiction elements are both done very well.,8
"From season 1 to 3, this series is amazing. I LOVE everything about it. I love the look, the acting, the way I feel, like I'm watching a comic book, all of it. Unfortunately I would rate this a HARD 10 of it weren't for Scott Glenn. I'm not a fan of that actor or his his acting. It's almost cringe worthy! If it weren't for him, you bet it would be a 10. Either way, love the show. I would, however, like to see how Elektra would look in her original red, revealing leotard, bandana, and waistband thngie. That would have been pretty cool. I can say though, that I'm excited for Born again. I hope they give it a TVMA rating, but if it's not, I'm still excited.",9
"I have seen many great movies and i have seen this movie, but it was not up to my standards. The plot was a little confusing (when i say a little, i mean a lot) but on the lighter side the fight scenes were good so were the actors that participated like Leonardo DiCaprio (really awesome actor he was in Blood Diamond, and of course Titanic)there was also Pete Postlethwaite (who died recently, you would of seen him in Jurassic Park and The Usual Suspects)that is not all Michael Caine got a role in this movie and i am sure everyone knows of his work. 3/10. (-7/10 because of the plot) I recommend you still watch it no matter what i said, or what other people said because everybody has there own opinions. Kind regards, ben-james300",1
"This is the one movie of the year, where I really wonder how it has been recognized as such a masterpiece by almost everyone, and really it is just one more remake of very well - known Hollywood story, cliché love story and familiar tale about glamour and pain of fame. For me it is nothing special, I prefer movies that bring something new to the cinema, from the technical side or from the plot/storytelling side, this film brings nothing new.

Lady Gaga plays Ally, a very musically talented girl, who works in a restaurant and occasionally, in the evenings, gives performances at a local bar. She dreams of being a real singer, but like so many artistic souls, she has complexes and little faith in herself, she doesn't have enough strength to face the brutality and falsity of the show business. And then one night, she meets Jack (Cooper) - famous and accomplished singer& artist, who is on the way down, destroyed by fame, his demons and alcoholism. He watches her performance, is delighted with her talent and herself, and from that moment things go fast - they fall in love with each other, Jack helps Ally become a real star etc. However, of course, only then the real problems start to emerge, Jack cannot defeat his demons, the finale is tragic, which can be seen from miles away, the most cliché ending in the world, calculated for cheap emotions.

Yes, the first part of the movie : all Ally's way to the top and a thriving romance is a well made story, and Gaga& Cooper have an undeniable chemistry, but that's absolutely no masterpiece.

Problems of this film begin in the second part. The script very quickly and superficially jumps to Ally's success, and although we see Jack struggling with addiction and childhood demons, the protagonists' motives are shown very superficially and unconvincingly, real drama/conflict is nowhere to be found, there is a boring story about family drama, emerging from poor dialogues. During the second part of the movie, in one moment, I found out, that from the boredom, I did not even remember what exactly characters said a second before, because I started thinking about something completely different. Cooper is good alcoholic, but so were 10000 actors in 100 different movies before, the rest of his role is bland. It was even one really bad moment from Cooper, when Jack started crying, talking about attempted suicide - it was so fake, really bad acting (sorry, coz I like Cooper, but this is just how I see it).

The same goes with Sam Elliott, I genuinely don't understand what fuss is about and how is he supposed to win Oscar for best supporting role. He has maybe 5 scenes in the whole movie and he's not doing anything innovative in them.

Music, I admit, is very good and ''Shallow'' will win Oscar for best song, there is not doubt abt this one. Gaga sings great and imo is better than Cooper with her acting, but she still just plays herself, nothing special and I hope Glenn Close will finally win her Oscar, she is fantastic in ''The Wife''. I feel like a lot of people are exaggerating in the assessment of this film, because how they feel about music, great music makes them emotional ( the same case with ''Bohemian Rhapsody''), but we are supposed to rate the movie/acting not music and singing.

So, in general, the movie is massively overhyped. It's 6/10 from me.",4
"It is odd to spend more than two hours watching a film and it slowly dawns on you that you are not particularly bothered how it ends and, if anything, rather wish it would end sooner rather than later. The Dark Knight is that kind of film. Exactly why I lost interest or even when, I'm not too sure, but lose interest I did. This is Christopher Nolan's second stab at Batman as well as Christian 'Rant' Bales, and although all the elements are there, it is simply not as good. Naturally, this being another slug, blast and punchfest - tho' despite it's reputation for being dark, thankfully not a bloodfest - many, many viewers have lauded this as a 'masterpiece', 'the best movie of 2008 so far', 'far surpasses Begins'. No, it isn't and no it doesn't. All I can say is that these people have not seen many 'masterpieces' or many films in 2008. The Dark Knight, in that way which Hollywood has made its sugary own, attempts to flatter the audience by including a 'moral dilemma' and it does so not once, but rather often. This time we are invited - the 'we' being the popcorn-chewing Saturday night crowd who think thought is a luxury - to reflect on moral ambiguity and how relative rather than absolute the notions of good and evil can be. And each time this viewer sighed a little: as the saying goes, you can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig. We get any number of high falutin speeches about heroes and villains but, in truth, is just so much codswallop. In truth this film is just another blockbuster, and, at that, it is not even as good as many other blockbusters. If you want to meditate on the reality of good and evil, of heroes and villains, by all means make a film doing so, but in The Dark Knight it is all, for this viewer at least, all very phoney. Apart from that, this film is a tad confusing, there are too many characters, the plot, or at least what there is of it, really does not bear repeating, the suspense is curiously unexciting, and too often the film drags. The old actors are there, and all with the very honourable exception of the late Heath Ledger, seem to be acting by numbers. (This was, I think, Ledger's last film, and his early death is sad. Undoubtedly he was very talented.) And having said all that, there is not much more to say. It's not bad, it's not particularly good. As part of the series, it stands tall, but then the series is not all that outstanding. See it if you want to, and if, after reading this, you decide not to, well, sorry, but you won't be missing much at all.",5
"This review is based on having watched the first two episodes of the first season. I find the main character to be bland and uninteresting, and I find I really don't care much about her. And if I don't care about the main character, it's hard to care what happens to her. In addition, the story keeps cutting back and forth between scenes that seem to have little to do with one another. Add to that cliches' such as no one being around in downtown Vienna at night. And people speaking English in Austria. Not my cup of tea, but apparently I'm in the minority, given how highly it's been rated.",6
"Absolutely awful concatenation of lachrymose sentimentality and right-wing politics. I hated this movie with an intensity that cannot be measured. This was one of the most inward looking American movies to be seen in a long time. Americans seem to believe that there is no other country outside ""Godzone""",2
"I didn't know what to expect when I first watched this show. I was expecting another stupid, toilet-humor, kid show which has become almost typical of EVERY Nick show. To my surprise, Avatar is anything but! Now the first season, particularly the Season finale, was epic and engaging with every episode. But Book 2-Earth was what really made me an Avatar fanatic. Despite being labeled as a 'kid' show, this show has some pretty adult themes and situations dealing with problems like love, betrayal and destiny.

All in all it seems like a real budget show with a great dialogue and anime-like art which totally fits the show! The use of real things such as Chinese characters and Martial Arts styles for the moves are an added boast that make this show perfectly awesome! I hardly recommend for anyone looking for an engaging show that you can watch with both your children or your teenage friends!",10
"First of all, the Martian was nothing like Gravity. I guess that was my biggest problem. Having loved movies like Gravity and Interstellar, this one did not come close to the performance bar let alone pass it. Everything about this movie was average. So highly disappointed with Matt Damon.

1. Directing - The director worked with what he was given but there was so much more he could do. For example, there is a scene where Damon is severely undernourished and is skin and bones. His face isn't shown. The very next camera shot shows Damon 'who was supposed to be skin and bones' completely healthy and as muscular as ever. No, the space suit cannot hide a body's figure.

2. Writing - I wasn't impressed with the script. It wasn't very different but the only good thing was it was light, had a lot of humor and the story kept you going. However, every twist and plot was extremely far fetched and close to impossible. A person with common sense just sits there going ""-_- seriously? Whom are you kidding? That is so not possible!""

3. Acting - The acting was top notch. I expected big things from such a promising cast and then delivered. Very pleased.

4. Production design - It was brilliant. The sets, both on Mars and on earth were amazing. I was blown away. The red planet was indeed red and the equipment all looked fancy and expensive. Tick. Tick. Tick for The Martian.

5. Sound - The sound track and background score was average. Neither catchy nor lethargic.

Bottomline - Go watch this if you have nothing better to see. P.s. Forget watching it on the TV.",5
"This movie just didn't do anything for the series.

The writing was lazy and you needed to take great leaps of logic to allow the story line to become acceptable.

The characters really were treated poorly. No real depth was given, and they often seemed force into a certain role rather than look as if they naturally belonged to it.

The end is guaranteed to annoy you. Normally after a Batman movie the audience is buzzing when it leave the theater. There was quite a subdued feel after this one. Nobody seemed terribly excited about the event.

You will have to be a major Batman fan to get anything out of this one.

All in all a rather boring,predictable, and disappointing film.",4
"Hmmmmmmmmm....about Jodhaa Akbar..??? what can i say ????just fantastic movie i have ever seen........

everything is just perfect in it. It's been a long time since I have walked out of the cinema hall with a feeling of equanimity and the asseveration of having just witnessed a film that will go down in history as a classic. The last time I was overcome by such a feeling was with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's poetic Saawariya, a film that many people rejected for its folklore style.

Jodhaa Akbar rekindled my faith in why Hindi cinema is the greatest entertainer in the glimmering world of movie lights, for it could only be the Hindi film industry that could conceive such a monopolizing oeuvre. Asutosh Gowariker has to be congratulated for making a film with such conviction and executing his story on such a grand platform. Whilst the general consensus of many is that historical films dabble more in the complexities of the past through stolid like factual presentation, Gowariker is able to use his finesse of mixing drama with authenticity – the result being an exhilarating lesson in history which also carries a strong heart. The nail biting battle scenes have all been captured with sharp camera movements, transporting the viewer to the battlefield, the tense palaver between Ila Arun and Aishwarya demanded pin drop silence from everyone in the cinema hall…exemplary of the maestro director's ability to capture the audience and throw them into a bygone era.

Hrithik Roshan as the Great Emperor Akbar is awe-inspiring. His performance is of dizzying heights, meticulously delivered without any room for criticism. Roshan epitomizes perfection, both physically and creatively resulting in the finest screen presence to be witnessed since Amitabh Bachchan. His Akbar is powerful and unflinching yet in a split second can transform to a smirking lover of loyalty towards his queen presenting a humane depiction of a figure who was obviously more than just a temerarious ruler. Roshan proves yet again just why he is the finest male lead to grace the screen since the millennium.

Aishwarya Rai is always at her best when she is regal and in Jodhaa Akbar she is dignity personified. The character of Jodhaa demanded a fiery yet graceful streak of personality and Rai achieves this balance with uttermost ease. The scene where she exchanges heated words with Akbar upon his accusation of her deceit is tremendous as she conveys vulnerability with angst, using her eyes to emote a thousand words. A character that does not demand huge amounts of dialogues but more so relies on the ability for Rai to emote with her expressions resulting in a play of wholehearted curtailment. Jodhaa Akbar is sure to go down as one of Rai's finest examples of talent.

A R Rahman's music may not be of chartbusting quality but it moulds itself into the story in such a way that without becoming officious to the narrative, it still acts as a conclusive transition, especially the Sufi style ""Khwaja Mere Khwaja"" which oozes a spiritualistic aroma of melody. ""Azeem O Shah Shahensha"" is robust in its presentation and only electrifies the magnitude of the character that Akbar was.

One can not speak about Jodhaa Akbar without mentioning the cinematography and costumes. There is a danger that when films are seeped in such grandeur, they shimmer more for their ability to satisfy the visual palette rather than offer satiating content but Jodhaa Akbar does not suffer from this ailment. The need for the ostentatious presentation is fully justified and equally rewarding to the eye, be it the intricate halls of the palace or the deliciously crafted jewels, all have their place and thankfully due to a taut screenplay, do not serve as mere ornaments by which viewers can pass their time admiring their beauty. Rather, one spends the duration of the film engulfed in the proceedings of the story which are only taken to a higher level with the alluring ambiance of the Mughal era.

Period dramas carry with them the promise of acting as tools for society, where in today's times many people are recalcitrant to pick up a book and read history; cinema offers them the opportunity of visually engaging with the quondam and interpreting facts in a more appealing manner. Jodhaa Akbar allows its audience all of this in a manner which is simplistic in relaying chronologic events yet also embarks on a simultaneous journey of love and acceptance, mixing the two to create an evocative experience.

History with a heart, Jodhaa Akbar ravages the screen with its royal fest of nobility and catalytic performances , crowning it's viewers with cinematic glory......",10
"The nice thing about this new spiderman is that it tried to make the story a little more personal and downscale it. This all gets reversed in this movie, where they just try to shove as much stuff into the movie as they can, all the villains and lots of heroes... oh god... please make it stop.

We have seen too many of these movies, please stop Dinsey...",4
"First of all, I'd like to say that I like Joss Whedon's style. I love his dialogue, the unique words he comes up with and most of all, I love the interesting characters he creates. Of the new shows in 2013, this was the one I the most looking forward to. I knew it would be a Whedon show and I was expecting a bunch of interesting and original characters and I was looking forward to getting to know them. What you expect from a TV show like this, is a variety of personalities, some of them getting along, others - not so much, while all of them more or less complete each other. So imagine my disappointment when I saw what these characters were like. The only difference between them is what kind of geek they are! You have the science geeks, the fangirl geek, the collectibles geek, the desk loving geek and the socially awkward geek. Don't get me wrong, I've nothing against geeks, I have a geek side myself. But you can't make a show such as this, when your characters are so much alike. I mean, you can, obviously, but it wouldn't be a very good one. Personally, I found the show as boring as it can get. If they are lucky, they could ride the popularity of ""The Avengers"" for a couple of seasons, but the bottom line is: a ton of wasted potential.",4
"I really don't understand what people were expecting, looking at some of the negative reviews. This sequel gives you everything that was great about the first film and then some. Better action, more humor, more characters, and more Easter eggs leading into the Avengers movie. It delves further into Tony Stark's character, showing that his arrogant public persona is a ruse...behind the scenes, he's scared to death because the artificial heart he created is slowly poisoning him to death. He begins drinking heavily, which is leading up to a ""Demon in a Bottle"" sequel; comic book fans know that I'm talking about a key Iron Man story line that helped define the character. I loved Scarlett Johansen as the Black Widow...her one action scene was awesome. The two major Iron Man/War Machine fight scenes beat the action sequences in the first film. The final scene was much better the first movie's finale. I can't wait to see Captain America, Thor, and the Avengers movies!",10
"Some ground rules. Legend has it that the first-time scriptwriter for this oddity was paid a million dollars, and then the project was shelved because they could not figure out what to do with it. Then they had a brainstorm. Just make it. And here we are with an almost-Hitchcockian pseudo-thriller that occasional resembles a police story and even sometimes a horror film. The story gives new life to the cliché, ""plot holes you could drive a truck through."" Hugh Jackman gives the performance of his life, but his character is so lacking in empathy that this might not be enough. Jake Gyllenhaal plays himself which ironically is more than enough to carry the role. Maria Bello is lost. Dennis Villeneuve is a great director who can make even the rain interesting and one would like to see him try his hand at something better written. Like the phone book.",3
"I think my family has a different take on this show than most, we find it very funny. As Philadelphia residents for the past 20 years we find that the ""over the top"" Philly stereotypes make us laugh out loud. We also love how they seem to have picked every dreary day to film the outside shots. This show leans heavily into the ""Tucky"" part of Pennsiltucky. I'd call it a cross between Hillbilly Elegy and Sharp Objects with a touch of Broadchurch thrown in there.",8
"I have been a huge fan of Thomas Harris's work since I was in middle school, and caught the scene of Jodie Foster as Claric Starling investigating Hester Moffat's storage unit and finding a bit more than she bargained for. I will be the first to admit I really never thought that anyone performances could live up to Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins as Clarice and Hannibal in the Silence of the Lambs.

Well, enter one Mads Mikkelsen and my whole perspective changed. Mads plays Hannibal as Thomas Harris wrote Hannibal. Elegant, reserved, absolute nut bar cannibal underneath beautifully tailored suits. I will always love Anthony as Hannibal, the depicition he puts out particularly in the Silence of the Lambs is absolutely iconic. But dare I say, Mads elevated Hannibal as a character.

Why do I bring up Clarice Starling when she does not feature in Hannibal? The very talented Hugh Dancy plays Will Graham in Hannibal, plays former FBI profiler and current instructor at the FBI academy. The series opens up, predictably, with a horrific murder, and Jack Crawford enters Will's classroom to ask Will to come on as an investigator for this new case. (Aha) Through this case we meet Hannibal, and the relationship between Will and Hannibal essentially develops into Clarice and Hannibal's from there, including lines and plot points from the novel as well.

Fantastic choice by the writers given the limitations they had, and the show really is a master class cut short. Lawrence Fishburne and Gillian Anderson really round out the cast alongside Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen and I hope someday we can see Hannibal come back. I think at least one more season is needed to wrap the story properly.",10
"The plot was thin, the execution was way too weak. This could have a better movie if it was little longer and things happened in pace. Nothing much happened in the first hour and second hour was mindless action and ending was way too quick. All seemed rushed. The saving grace was the post-credit scene.",5
"During lockdown I've been able to watch some great TV shows I had missed out on - Ozark, Ash vs the Evil Dead, Ted Lasso, Dirk Gently to name a few.

Wandavision isn't one of them.

A completely misguided, badly scripted, poorly planned, terribly structured mess. The whole set up, the whole premise is just a terrible, reaching a new low with the song ending Episode 7. I mean, come on, a lot more could have been achieved with these characters and this cast, but it ended up being an unfunny shambles of a series.

My advice to anyone who wants to stay up-to-date with the various branches of the MCU is to just watch the last few minutes of each episode, instead if putting yourself through the terribleness of each episode, and then maybe watch the last 2 episodes in full. The rest of it you don't really need, and you can always watch some YouTube 'round up' videos for anything you've missed.

A special mention goes to Kat Dennings. How she ended up in this I will never know. A terrible and annoying actress somehow got herself Into this amazing franchise. The mind boggles at times.",3
"I was not captivated by any of this. The voice actors did not sound genuine. This is a tragedy, so much so that I created this account just to rant about how disappointed I was in watching. I had put this on for my nephew about a year ago and did not really watch it and now that I started watching it, I feel bad I had to put him through it. I only got 20 minutes in and had to change it to the original. As I sit here typing this and watching the original there is no doubt Disney did a disservice to the brand though recently with other remakes such as Aladdin, it's clear Disney is trying to push out content at the cost of quality content. Please fix this and create good wholesome quality family content!!!! I gave it a 3 because it had okay animations and the plot seemed to follow the original though a 1-2 star is more what I want to truly give it.",3
"Season 3 has been a big disappointment for me. The scenes with bad, pointless dialogue seem to last forever, and much of the story is juvenile and ridiculous. I'd still recommend seasons 1 and 2 however, despite Winona Ryder's grating performances.",7
Season 1 was awesome a brilliant story 80's nostalgia good acting interesting characters it was perfect a solid 10 Then season 2 was OK not on par but still good a 7 and it should have ended then but... Then came season 3 and it was a disaster ridiculous story ridiculous acting and the Russians thing it was a joke a solid 3 this time And now to season 4 I could hardly go through it does iteven deserve a 3 Please no more.,6
Such a boring movie. Completely disappointing. Start was okay but then just gets boring and boring... not sure if i can even watch it till end 😁😁😁,3
"I see many Marvel fan pages that I frequent all very positive about the show so I don't know if the reviews here are from casual fans or not.

But it is obvious by now that WandaVision set the bar pretty damn high. So high that if any other Marvel show makes one mistake it will be noticed. Unfortunately that is the case with Falcon and Winter Solider.

Personally I love this show, but I do have some issues with the script.

I don't care for some of the storyline they gave Sam. I don't believe that an Avenger wouldn't be able to get a loan. There is enough of a support system there from the other Avengers and especially Pepper Potts. Nope, that was forced and it was annoying. Also the whole Super Soldier bit.... Really? It was so stupid.

Marvel you have always been great with your diversity so stop pandering and just let the characters thrive.

So yeah I do have mixed feelings about the script, but Sam and Bucky are great together. I will let a lot of weak points slide because I just love the characters. I wasn't the biggest Bucky fan, probably never will be but man they are doing a good job with showing the trauma he carries for what he did. That softens me up a bit about him.

I am looking forward to the show just getting better with each episode without turning into some social justice pandering. Like come on these are Avengers. Let's treat them as such!",7
Just fantastic. More story needed to be in such a long movie but it was great.,7
"Good graphics and action in fighting scenes, but this movie is not really for me. It is too long and I found it got quite boring.",4
"I love Groundhog Day-ish entertainment, so I guess I'm the target audience for this intriguing comedy-drama. It features a quirky, rather abrasive woman (amusingly played by Natasha Lyonne) who finds herself continually dying and returning to her birthday party.

As is typical of the genre, her goal is to find out why. Along the way she finds strange connections and odd inconsistencies in her time line.

It's all terrific until the final episode, when it becomes clear the writers were more into the ride than the resolution. Russian Doll is one of these fantastical narratives that use neither sci-fi (the repeated day is caused by quarks!) nor fairytale logic (it was all a spell), but just kind of say, well, this is what happened and why do you need an explanation.

That sort of ending is always frustrating but not always destructive, and as with the movie Colossal, I was ultimately entertained enough by the story to not let loose ends and plot holes bug me too much.

While the first season appeared to be a self-contained miniseries, there are two more seasons planned, so perhaps we will ultimately be given a quark or curse explanation for it all. But even if not, as long as it continues to be so entertaining, I'll keep watching.",8
"Like the iconic 2001: A Space Odyssey, the furthest universe is best when it's portrayed as an uncharted ocean; something that's so mysterious that the imagery we see is never still. Dimensional and unexpected are the words that come to me when I try to consider what's out there. While I think that extraterrestrials are possible, I was one to never believe in creatures that would visit us to attack the earth or study humanity. We have evolved to learn more about space and what we have understood is that the Earth is more special then ever; there is only one of us within our galaxy and it's up to us to keep our home habitable.

I can understand why people are keen to saving our planet; you destroy our place and you destroy our species. Interstellar really emphasizes how important it is to make sure that humanity will forever have a place, even if Earth cannot forever be it's home. It also pushes how little of the universe we have really tapped. We may have looked through telescopes and developed theories on how everything works, we will never understand until we can continue going up. Interstellar shoots for the stars in the latest Christopher Nolan feature.

In the future, humanity it at the brink of collapse as the Earth has been ravaged to a point where weather in cumbersome and farmers are seen as ideal careers. One of them is Cooper (played by Mathew McConaughey), a former NASA pilot who lives in a dusty home along with his father Donald (played by John Lithgow) and his two kids Tom and Murph. Murph convinces her father that a gravitational anomaly is occurring in her room. This leads them to an underground facility where former members of NASA including physicist Professor Brand (played by Michael Caine) have been scooping a newly opened wormhole near Saturn.

They tell Cooper that a mission is being planned as the last hope for the future of humanity. The goal is to send astronauts through the wormhole to examine the three Earth-like planets that people could settle on. For his skills years before, Cooper is selected to pilot the mission, but this requires him to be away from his family for years (decades!). He makes the promise to come back, but Murph refuses to hear it and only considers that she may never see her father again.

Christopher Nolan is one of my favorite filmmakers. He took something like Batman and has given us The Dark Knight; a movie that changed super hero movies forever. I was hoping that Interstellar would do the same for science fiction. I'm sad to say we do not have the next masterpiece. Interstellar keeps boasting that it's a story about humanity, yet I found very little of it here. McConaughey, Caine, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain all talk more like professors then identifiable beings. Sure they will talk about their emotions related to the story, but they seems to love talking about it's meaning and philosophy more.

Speaking of story, it tries hard to emulate 2001 by crafting it's story in separate parts. The first third, set on Earth and going through the wormhole, has it's moments. The second part, all about the various planets and the state of Earth, is overlong and stuffed with relative physics, and comes off more boring. The final act however is so good that I cannot even say why, though it matches 2001's ending. Aside the story's pacing, I can't say it's a total waste as there is a clear mission for our heroes and their goals. Blockbuster seekers will probably get their fill, but they need to pay attention.

Though I was disappointed story wise, Interstellar was a nice movie to look at. If Nolan does something in his movies that never go wrong, it's the cinematography. The farming scenes look eerily close to Dorothea Lange 's Dust Bowl shoots, the space scenes are phenomenal (I want that shot of the spaceship flying under the rings of Saturn), and as I said, the third act blew me away for reasons that I cannot spoil.

I'll give this five wormholes out of ten. Again, sorry to diss a Christopher Nolan film, but Interstellar is too bound by it's own ambition and science. It gets high marks for is notes, but fails in it's final presentation. I do think that a lot of people will be moved by this, but this makes me move to the theater that's screening Inception or The Dark Knight.",5
It was good when I was in when I watched it in 2011 it's good in 2020 my guys,10
"I really didn't think I was going to enjoy ""Modern Family"" when it was first announced. Much as I loved Ed O'Neill as Al Bundy on the legendary farce ""Married With Children"" (heck, I even liked his take on Joe Friday on the short-lived ""Dragnet L.A.""), I was afraid O'Neill was going to chew the scenery Bundy-style. I also feared that the gay couple was going to be cast as comic stereotypes.

I finally started watching it in reruns and was happy to see that none of my suspicions were true. The characters, with the possible exception of the too-too brittle Claire, all seem to click like a well-oiled machine. O'Neill, even if he is the lead star in the billing, seems to take a back seat as the voice of reason among the cast of characters he calls his children, stepchildren, and grandchildren.

And I came to the conclusion that this was really meant as the karmic payback to Al Bundy: a trophy wife, successful children, a successful business...and no Marcy D'Arcy.

I only fear that the last scene of the series finale may have Ed pulling a Newhart, waking up next to Katey Sagal and screaming ""PEG!!!"" in agony.",8
"I'll definitely recommend Por Thozhil to those who enjoy their share of investigative crime thrillers. It's been a while since we've come across a police procedural (in Tamil cinema) that focuses on the finer details, adding an uneasy dynamic between a rookie cop and an experienced (almost emotionless) veteran. Sarath Kumar and Ashok Selvan are both splendid in their respective roles (you'd know who's who by that description I gave). Director Vignesh Raja mentioned in interviews how he's fond of David Fincher's works, and the inspiration is evident. The framing style, the dark tones, the attention to detail - the debut filmmaker certainly shows promise.

It somewhat follows the Ratchasan template of a serial killer with a flashback (and a decoy), yet the film works from both writing and technical standpoints. Jakes Bejoy's score adds to the tense mood, the performances are pretty much on point, and the twists keep coming. While you won't be able to foresee the killer because his identity is unfurled layer by layer, and he shows up only in the final act (with a half-baked backstory), it's the proceedings until then that keep you on edge. There's a terrific stretch where the cop duo think they've ""solved"" the case only to realize that they've solved a totally different one. Let's get a sequel made soon enough, please?",7
"More of the movie spent having deep conversations about life with Spiderman determined to make the baddies into goodies, which isn't very exciting from an action movie perspective.",4
Hands down one of the best super hero shows. HBO's Watchmen notwithstanding.,9
The writing in this show has depth it sounds like poetry and all the philosophical points are amazing. The beauty of the show is also a strong element. Simply loved it so much.,10
This is so bad I'm not sure if it's supposed to be trying to be partly comedic. They travel across the universe in sophisticated technology and then use a CB radio to communicate? I have fallen asleep in nearly every episode because of the dreary dialogue and intense overacting.,5
I highly recommend skipping this movie. It's a nonstop torturous film that keeps you wincing at the poor decisions of the protagonist. There was even a low rumble throughout the movie to keep you ill at ease in case the rest of the movie wasn't already doing that. It was unrelenting and I was relieved when it was over. Not to mention all of the negative Jewish Stereotypes reinforced in the movie. I'd stay away from this one if I were you.,2
"I was suspicious of a movie that won so many Oscars and I never heard of it. It also peaked my curiosity as I felt it 17TRACK must be really good to recieve such Oscar accolade. Sadly I was disappointed. I watched until the end just to make sure I didn't overlook what the academy felt was so great about it. It just never happened. I found myself pausing the DVD player multiple times just to see how much boredom remained. In fact, there is an actual 'The End' moment on the screen. I felt glad, but then discovered there was still an hour left. Oh brother! I just don't get it. With other rather pretty good movies this past year and this one wins out? Sad. Really sad. I did give it some stars because it was directed well and had some decent special effects. Unfortunately it left me unmoved and bored.",3

"The way this movies plays with your head AFTER you watch is insane. Directors Danny and Michael Philippou deliver inventive and genuine scares that will linger long after watching. As for the cast, everyone is quite impressive, yet sophie wilde unfolds her unique talent in a role that fits her like a glove. Talk to Me surely isn't for the faint of heart. It isn't for those who believe horror movies can easily be shaken off. And it isn't for those who aren't willing to pay attention and allow the film's unsettling aesthetic to seep into one's bones. It is twisted, terrifying and absolutely brilliant. A must watch.",8
"""Amsterdam"" will be remembered as the biggest box office flop of 2022 as it should be. However it's an enjoyable movie, that I think is a good choice whenever you are on Disney+ searching for something light to watch. It's not something crazy good, but I found it funny and sufficiently interesting to follow it till the end. The cast is stellar and it's incredible how many top-tier actors are in this one, and all the performances are nice. Everything else about ""Amsterdam"" is only ok: from the direction to the editing, from the plot to the themes. Everything is just ok and fine. And this is why it was a big flop: with this stellar cast you can't come up with a movie that is just ok. No way you return the investment. If not for the cast, it's a movie that could have gone directly to a streaming service without anyone complaining. It's a pity, but still, not a disaster.",7
"First of all i would like to tell that i have a labrador just like Charlie and the second thing is that I travelled almost 270 kilometres from AJMER TO JAIPUR (roundtrip) just to watch this movie and after watching it I can say that CHARLIE deserves it.

This is not like just another movie like we all see daily in cinemas or our television where there is a guy who fights with the goons , shows his six pack abs, saves the girl, etc etc.... It's an emotion which dives in the pool of your heart the splashes of which you can definitely feel in your eyes.

I don't know exactly that for how long I cried but i can definitely say that i cried a lot, even after watching the movie I wasn't been able to talk to somebody for atleast 2 hours.. You can just imagine the impact of the emotions which the creators tried to convey through this movie.. Kudos to Rakshit Shetty and the whole team FOR SHOWING US THAT INDIA CAN ALSO MAKE MARVEL and even with such a low budget and last but not the least Charlie 😘 , what she did was amazing and i could easily say that even a hugely talented actor could not beat CHARLIE because what she showed us is EMOTIONS which is surely lacking in many of the so called Mass Entertainer movies which we regularly see nowadays Love ❤ for CHARLIE 😘",10

"The best story line ever! This series was really moving and kept the thrill alive. Even though it is an animated series, but mark my words, it is intended for everyone and you will surely not regret watching this. The story is about rectifying mistakes and redemption. You can surely relate the story to your day-to-day life. But do not try to judge beforehand that there would be no comedy, oh its full of jolly! And its nothing like the movie. Believe me when I say this. So start your life-changing journey now, if you haven't watched yet. No pun intended! ;-)

FYI, I am writing this just after completing the series.",10
"Seeing Marvel experimenting with WandaVision and now this I'm impressed with how they make these shows original and relevant.

Yup the show could have been written better (Flag-smashers could have been more well realized + John Walker wasn't dealt that well in the finale) Overall show was strong and emotional but still fun to watch and follow.",7
"This reboot had so much promise. It could have been a Netflix gem. But they gone f'd it up..... Dr Smith is literally the worst character every they have a token black kid and the women are in charge cause its 2018 and men can't be in charge......

"This movie ripped the guts out of what made the book special. The realization of making a movie that is both live action and VR was executed well. However I DO NOT understand how Ernst Cline would allow them to butcher his story so horribly.

Casting was on point and saved this from being hot garbage.

If you never read the book, you will enjoy the show but still feel rushed. This EPIC journey turns into a fast frantic pace that makes ZERO sense besides to push to the end of the movie.",3
"The Greatest Showman is probably the worst musical I've ever seen, it's full of terrible visual effects, overcooked dance sequences, and cheesy pop songs. The movie thinks it's so big and heartwarming and it just comes off as stupid. I love Hugh Jackman and Michelle Williams, but they can do better than this pile of crap. It feels so fake, there's nothing special about it. It skims through the lead character's life like a children's book. Very bad movie.",2
"If this was just another action film with science fiction / comic book plot, it would have been adequate. It had the usual sequences of fights, explosions and just general mayhem.

The problem is that this film comes with an incredible amount of hype and one is kind of expecting it to deliver something really special. In this it fails. Oh, at 2 hr 32 minutes, it is also way too long.

Most of the critical praise goes to Heath Ledger's Joker and rightly so. He is by far the best performance in the film. He still does not compare to chilling performance given by Javier Bardem in ""No Country for Old Men"".

Bale's Batman is very disappointing. He comes across more like James Bond than Batman. Batman is a very dark character who is not that different from the people that he fights. For him the fight is personal. This does not come across in the film.

Probably my main complaint is the length and the pacing. The film is filled with many fast-paced action scenes but lacks progression. The story-telling does not take one on a journey as it should but rather one feels that the last fight scene or the last explosion is pretty much like the last one.

At 100-120 minutes, this would be a adequate forgettable film and I guess that I am penalising it more for the hype than anything else. It is, however, nowhere close to the really good films out there.",4
"Well directed, tension builds and builds. However, the whilst the Episodes are good but they a definitively nor futuristic, rather they are more current conspiracies. THERE is NO futuristic aspect to the majority of the episodes - no sci-fi aspect. Sadly, disappointed.

Subject matter has the potential to be futuristic, however, the content is more occult/ wolverine. This franchise has lost it's focus, lost it's way. It needs new righters to be keep the franchise as it set out to be: set in the future with innovative twists. Currently, this series is so far away from the remit it needs to be called something else. It is not worthy of the esteemed hallmark of a Black Mirror.",7
"Cynthia Erivo Has become one of my favourite actors, she is playing a strong female lead in this show. This show however is not fantastic, but still gets you hooked within the first episode because you want to understand what is happening and therefore you can't look away, but its not a binge watching show. But did keep me off my phone and my feet up, whilst I was watching. What I mostly enjoyed was Erivo's performance. Ben Mendelson was good and his sullen presence in the show, says out loud what we are thinking, but for the show to work we also need to dispel some of our own doubts. So that is why I gave it a 6 because I am undecided about it, and not enough good actors to make me think I must watch another season.",6
"Happened to be browsing through my old VHS collection the other day and came across Fargo, which I recorded back in 1999. It hasn't aged a jot and is as memorable as I well, remembered it! Watched on a crappy old TV but listened to through a decent HiFi (I've kept an excellent example of VHS HiFiness for such purposes) the standard stereo soundtrack to this film (as with all the CB's films) is superb, bringing hidden depths to the surface as the music envelopes the ratcheting tension. If only more recent movies could be as precise with their soundtracks instead of ruining them with overblown sound! Then of course, there's the excellent cast with a story that's so compelling in its telling that you become quickly absorbed and just don't want it to end! If you haven't seen this film before or it's been a while since, do yourself a big favour! Blows most of today's cinematic crap out of the water....YAAH!!",10
"Acting so so (I didn't find Tom Hardy funny, didn't really get the interest of the Ann character, the villain is not scary!)

Special effects not fantastic but OK.

The weakest point is the forced, over cliche plot! Sometimes the basics are just fine but the story needs to built up... here everything seems forced and most parts are not credible.",4
"The show it's self is amazing, very mind bending and confusing which I love, Oscar Isaac gives an amazing performance as Marc and Steven, special effects are good apart from a couple scenes but everything else is done amazingly.",8
"I enjoyed Batman versus Superman so much more than this movie.

This movie just felt terribly unoriginal, boring, and the same old stuff I've seen over and over again.

Nothing interesting about the plot. More of a showcase of all the characters, leaving the dialogue absent of anything intriguing.

Great special effects, it's also fun to see all the new characters interacting. Had a good take on Spider-Man.

Out of all the Marvel movies, this was one of the weaker ones. Better than Ant-Man.

But no where near as interesting as Batman versus Superman.",7
"I agree to disagree.

Don't get me wrong, there are many things done amazingly in the 'Wednesday' series and the Wednesday character is the greatest one. Jenna does a brilliant performance of the Addams daughter in every way I can think of, and she knows how to give her many layers without losing her way.

Also the atmosphere, the Nevermore Academy environment, the photography, the effects, the way the world was created is fantastic.

And what about Thing? Thing steals the show alongside Wednesday. Period.

However, here are my reasons of why, and despite that, I don't believe it's as fantastic as a TV series as I've been hearing around:

1. The Addams family. Wednesday (and maybe uncle fester) is the only one I really see. Zeta-Jones as Morticia is nice regarding make-up, but I don't feel the character as I used to in previous movies. Luis Guzmán doesn't make Gomez for me, Idk. And I don't see the fatty inocent Pugsley in any way.

2. Enid is a nice character, but it seems kind of... Exagerated? Maybe it's something they did on purpouse to make it clear she's as opposite to Wednesday as she can be, but still. Too much.

3. The main plot has so many problems. The way the story is connected to the Addams family is the most interesting part of it, but how it's solved, how it's rushed at the end around the Crackstone and the Gates... It doesn't work that much.

4. It was too predictable to know who the Monster was, and it was also too obvious how the show was trying to focus the attention and the clues in a different direction. Just saying.",5
"It's a cool premise ruined by a bad ending. The attention to detail in the special effects and overall physics is commendable, but that ending. It's almost as much of a cop out as Frozen 2.",5
"This show would've been the completely best show ever made if they had shown the world which Light wished to create. After that Near's entry could take place and the remaining story you know is in between ep26 to ep37. Although Near was no comparison to L's and Light's brain. They were the two smartest brains in the world. I think, if the makers could have added the part of Light's personal life in the 2nd half so that would've also created interest in watching. I slept many times in 2nd half of it. Not the expected end... Just some foolish way to end because all brain's capacity, they've been using had finished. Last episode really disappointed me because i was expecting Light to win this time. Anyways i am giving 5 stars because of 1st half and getting my frustration out here. Thank you.",5

"Francis Ford Coppola's legendary continuation and sequel to his landmark 1972 film, The Godfather, parallels the young Vito Corleone's rise with his son Michael's spiritual fall, deepening The Godfather's depiction of the dark side of the American dream. In the early 1900s, the child Vito flees his Sicilian village for America after the local Mafia kills his family. Vito (Robert De Niro) struggles to make a living, legally or illegally, for his wife and growing brood in Little Italy, killing the local Black Hand Fanucci (Gastone Moschin) after he demands his customary cut of the tyro's business. With Fanucci gone, Vito's communal stature grows, but it is his family (past and present) who matters most to him -- a familial legacy then upended by Michael's (Al Pacino) business expansion in the 1950s. Now based in Lake Tahoe, Michael conspires to make inroads in Las Vegas and Havana pleasure industries by any means necessary. As he realizes that allies like Hyman Roth (Lee Strasberg) are trying to kill him, the increasingly paranoid Michael also discovers that his ambition has crippled his marriage to Kay (Diane Keaton) and turned his brother, Fredo (John Cazale), against him. Barely escaping a federal indictment, Michael turns his attention to dealing with his enemies, completing his own corruption.",10
"Was interesting to be back to Westeros and the GoT setting. But was a few things that made the show feel okay, but not great.

1. The pacing off the first episode felt off, it jumped from scene to scene quite fast without time to linger on the scene or what happened, each scene felt like it was fast forwarded or parts were cut out. Giving you no real time to care or process what happened as now it was somewhere else.

2. Without the names from GoT and slight view of dragons, it didn't feel like it was set in the same ""universe"". Just that they tossed out names to make you feel ""Oh I know that one"". It didn't feel like I was watching GoT , more that I watched a generic fantasy and someone kept telling me it was something else. World didn't have the same weight or atmosphere, no tension and felt more like a quick copy, while the person hadn't seen GoT before and had to do a story from what he has heard of it.

3. The visual is beautiful... But also feel so much like CGI or polished with it that parts are like watching a game or you immediately tell its fake that take you out of immersion, something GoT didn't have issue with. Even just gazing around the Citadel and buildings, something just felt cgi of it, like they polished it up too much

4. Shock value scenes were... Not wow. Even if former had these shock value scenes, these ones felt like a cheap version they tossed in to fill runtime and then as mentioned before, speeded it up so you don't actually get to be in the moment and process it

5. Asked to care about characters, when you barely know them or they've had so little runtime so you go ""Okay"" when something bad happens. Not asking for that you must be emotionally invested immediately to every character, but when you barely know one, they had no impact to the story yet, then asked to care when something happens. You just don't

Tho it wasn't bad, just decent. Still worth a watch and hopefully next episodes become better.",5
"I really wanted to like this show, but I just can't sit through it anymore. I was trying to get through the 2nd episode, but at that point they had already painted multiple white straight guys as the devil.

Besides that it is poor writing all over. It just feels like a show about young people and their ""young people problems."" Nob0dy said it best,""It is simply awful, no self awareness, no subtlety, no depth, no substance whatsoever."" Honestly, please save yourself the time and don't watch it. I wish I were to get paid for the time I waisted watching this show.

Unfortunate to see this is the spin off they chose for The Boys.",2
"What is more interesting than seeing a psychopathic cannibalistic serial murderer falls head over heels with an empath who works for the fbi? Nothing.

Real review? I love everything abt this show. Acting, script, cinematography, all over the top. For a tv series, I would say it was ahead of its time bc it didn't make much noise back then while I think if its more recent they would gather larger crowd.

"I have watched some Korean movies, part of which I genuinely liked, but this one...how this gets an eight star rating is beyond me. I have to admit, that those have been some of the longest two hours, that I have spent in a movie Theater. The movie is neither funny (it might be the dubbing, but I have maybe chuckled twice during the whole movie), nor shocking (unless You haven't seen movies before), it was filled with exclusively unlikeable characters, it was absolutely predictive, drawn out way too long and ultimately was just one big boredom. Yes, it covered different genres, but other movies did the same, just much better.",3
"It's hard to say how disappointed I was in the first show. I'm a fan of Joss Whedon and comic book movies generally, but this show tries to be too cute by half, thick with references to Marvel movies and their beloved characters, which leaves you disappointed because you know those characters aren't going to appear on the small screen. The references serve as constant reminders of what is missing from this show. It's as if a couple of Disney producers got together to make a TV Show to demonstrate to other producers how you can destroy valuable brands - not just Marvel, but Star Wars, too - all in one show.

The plot picked up where ""Heroes"" left off - a bunch of irreconcilable stories with no place to go










Taken together, all of these factors clearly displayed Disney's desire to exploit these brands without any respect for artistic development. There's nothing clever or new - it's entirely derivative, bland and dull.",1

A story that is not about the product but how you market it. Carefully convincing people to invest their emotions, since if they are emotionally attached the dollars will follow. Only one cardinal rule:- the creators must be so great that they must be even more invested than the fans themselves. I sincerely thank Arunabhda and the whole T.V.F team for making such an investment in the entertainment sector. The friends Mandal, Jeetu, Naveen and Yogi are the best at what they do, they proved this to the world, not just themselves. The whole issue of Intellectual Property Rights was handled organically and nothing about this show seems forced. Asehi behte rehna.",10
"Well I know that it is Michael Bay, and you should expect Michael Bay, but... that was waay too much. Crazy jumps from scene to scene, the evil guy so evil that his evilness is just ridiculous. If you want to enjoy this movie just completely turn off your brain. In the plus side Ryan Ranolds keeps playing Deadpool and it's still working",3
"This is prime example how to make an awesomely well crafted piece into an astonishingly average movie.

I have absolutely no problems with the cast and all the actors. The lineup is actually amazing. Bale, Washington, Robbie, De Niro, Rock, even the minor roles are being played by actors who could easily play the lead in this.

Character introduction was great, clearly stated who is the main protagonist from the very start, slowly adding new people, adding stakes and motivation for them.

Plot setup was also well made at the beginning. I was truly pleasantly surprised. But somewhat it turned into blob.

I am pretty sure if this would be directed by somebody like Wes Anderson, we would get much more compelling stylistic experience, so I have nothing else than to blame the director for this mediocrity.",6
"So I'm gonna start with that I had no high expectations going into this as Netflix is either a hit or miss.

I don't remember the last time I did a review for a Netflix show probably Stranger Things and I felt that there was such a nostalgic but yet something very fresh about the show.

Jenna Ortega played Wednesday Adams perfectly and I do think she brought a breath of fresh air to the show.

I'm glad the focus was on Wednesday (Show named after her duh!) with little glimpses of her family. I do think this is a great debut to the Adams Family and I cant wait for season 2.

This show is not for everyone but will certainly please people who like Mystery.",8
"I'm really sorry to have to say this, but this movie was terribly boring and cringy. It's the only time in my entire life I've ever left the movie theatre because I simply couldn't stand it any more. I just couldn't get into it and found it overall lacking anything somewhat compelling that would make me want to keep watching. So, nope, this movie was not for me.",2
"I really enjoyed this and it's so much more reflective of the original cartoon/comic by Charles Addams.

Gomez was originally depicted as having a somewhat grotesque appearance, with a tubby body, a snub-nose, a crooked tooth and a receding chin. Luiz Guzman portrays this so well.

Catherine Zeta Jones is so beautiful and elegant, I think she plays Morticia well, although Angelica Houston is a hard one to beat!

Jenna Ortega is brilliant as Wednesday and was pleased to see Christina Ricci in the show too as one of the teachers.

Loved all the other characters in the school.

Really hope this is renewed for further seasons.",8
Listen man I really liked this movie but the cheese grater scene was just weird. Other than that I really liked this movie. It is unforgettable and yeah,5
"I swear I sad excited to see the different reviews about this show but all I can read is some guys complaining about Sylvie being played by a bad actress and stating that there is not place for a female Loki ? Lol y'all miss the point : the story is just bad too annoying to understand like I'm sorry we get it multiverse can we move on ? I was excited to learn about Loki's backstory , his childhood, his relationship with his brother..or him learning about his biological parents and his powers. He's not even the main character of his own show. The last episode was unwatchable, never seen people talk so slow and don't care about this ""existence before essence"" philosophical dilemma. So annoyed bc Loki is my fav and was really excited. Really hope they try to drop this storyline for season 2 but I have little hope...great acting tho. Costumes looked really bad and I think that Sylvie's character could have been interesting if she had some personality and I mean you're supposed to be Loki get it together (also yes the dating thing is weird...seems forced and inappropriate lol)",5
"Steins;Gate follows Rintarou Okabe, a self-proclaimed mad scientist with a penchant for rambling about conspiracy theories and microwave experiments. Along with his eccentric group of friends, including the neurotic Mayuri Shiina and the socially awkward Daru, Okabe accidentally discovers the ability to send messages back in time. Steins;Gate unfolds like a complex puzzle as Okabe and his friends delve deeper into the mysteries of time travel, they uncover a sinister conspiracy that threatens not only their own lives but the fate of the entire world. It's like watching a game of chess where every move could change the course of history.

The show's premise is like a quantum superposition of comedy, drama, and mind-bending science fiction. It's like Schrödinger's cat - simultaneously hilarious and thought-provoking until you observe it, collapsing the waveform into one definitive reality. But perhaps the most impressive aspect of ""Steins;Gate"" is its exploration of complex scientific concepts and philosophical themes. It's like watching an episode of ""Bill Nye the Science Guy"" mixed with a dash of ""The Twilight Zone"", as the series delves into topics like causality, determinism, and the nature of reality itself. It's a show that challenges the intellect while tugging at the heartstrings. Whether you're a sci-fi fanor simply enjoy a good narrative, this anime is sure to leave you pondering the mysteries of the universe long after the credits roll.",8
"Iron man 2 brings back the hero to stop a new threat, while also introducing Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson)

Unlike the first film, Iron Man 2 lacks the likeable humor and exciting action sequences. It felt boring and uninteresting. The cast should have been great! Rockwell and Rourke were excellent choices for the films villains. But, just as Marvel is known for, they leave their villains underdone and forgettable. Scarlett Johansson also leaves you wanting a much better actress for Black Widow.

I do still enjoy Iron Man 2 an entry in the MCU, but it was definitely disappointing.",6
"Trite, slow and cliches abounding. My biggest gripe is with casting. Adult Chiron looks and acts nothing like his younger selves. I actually didn't realize it was supposed to be him, until his mother called. This is a talking head movie, fraught with unsatisfactory conversations that go nowhere. Writers and directors need to realize that every single shot and bit of dialogue must propel a movie forward. This movie sits in idle for 90% of its run time.",2
"The only people or rather adolescents who will like this movie are those who would read the title of this review and think, ""Sounds good, I'll watch it"". I read the reviews where the reviewers gave the lowest rating possible and over and over again, I'd strongly agree with all their comments. The writing is shallow and atrocious - no talent whatsoever - as one reviewer put it ""it seems like it was written by a 13 year old boy"". There was no humor unless one laughs hysterically at the mention or sight of a bodily function with no other wit/intelligence. The two male leads were dreadful!!! The two female leads were very attractive which should count for something, but there were so many strong negatives that the movie deserves a subzero rating. The one good mini scene was a short monologue by Kristen Bell when she says ""I tried ..."", but that dialogue effectively destroys the so called plot. I read a synopsis of the movie, it seemed like the basic idea had great potential for comedy and/or romance, however, the disgusting script made for a disgusting movie.",1
I looked past it all the little defects and bad acting and just tried to enjoy the entertainment. But one character drove me crazy to the point I couldn't watch any more. The Dr. Smith/ June Harris character served no point to the storyline in my opinion. All she did was ruin things and get in the way and piss me off. The show would have been ok without her. I haven't finished the show yet but I hope she does a miserable death.,6
"This comedy is WAY above average--one of the funnier movies of the last 20 years. Jason Segal carries the story well enough, but the highlight is clearly Russell Brand as Aldous Snow. He was entirely deserving of a second outing as that character, but this movie is almost as good as the spinoff. It's nice to look at, too, being set in an amazing Hawaiian hotel. Pretty much everyone in the cast gets to do something fun, with the one weak part being Paul Rudd as a surf instructor. Sorry, but he's way too neurotic to pull it off. But overall, very well written.",8
After drishyam this movie is the another example of ajay devgn perfection. movie is completely entertaining lots of twists and turns in each and every second. Must watch,8
"If this isn't a top tier movie for you. You have a serious problem.

Easily the best action sequences out of the whole MCU and that is saying a lot since there's been 11 years of marvel.

The entirety of the cast is amazing and you can see their chemistry throughout the movie and off set.",10
"Believe me, they started from where they left off in season 1. Probably the pioneer of webseries this has been but believe me that the team behind Pitchers has done a lot of homework to cover all the intricacies of startups. From beer to whiskey now, from the idea of a startup to running that startup now, these guys seem to reach a next level. Missing Jeetu for obvious reasons as he brings the desi pana of coders which I personally co-relate to. Baap of all Indian webseries. Claiming it confidently. With more than 7 or 8 years gap, they came with a nuclear bomb that isnt just gonna shake the new India but revolutionize the webseries department once again. All minds of TVF have come to one place and that is, Pitchers. A must must watch. 9.5/10. I can proudly say that this Indian silicon valley is way better than America's. And they have done it without Jeetu. Woh aayega to bhuchaal aa jayega kasam se. Wont give spoilers.",10
"A show that always twisted in unexpected ways, but with two male leads that could hold a scene with silence.

There's some disturbing visual effects but one of the aspects I loved was its artistic take on gore. It's a show about serial killers, dead bodies were a given, but violence and death is so theatrically engaging that it's almost secondary to the drama.

Only detractors I think is that as a network show they wouldn't confirm a LGBTQ realationship for the leads, but that's hardly new.",10
"Yes, DeNiro, Keaton, Pacino etc all give great perfomances, the intrigues are there, and the technical aspect ruled, but all in all this is a lesser beast than the first one, who had originality, more tension, more action, and even better actors. But the first Godfather is, after all, one of the best movies ever made. Since that time, other movies did come out on the same subject, and good ones like Untoucheables and the Tarantino stuff, so I have problems explaining why it suddenly got rated so much.

It didn't age really especially well neither (while the original is timeless), yet there's no doubts that it is still a good mob movie, if a bit over-rated. It is roughly equal to the third act overall, which is as inexplicably reviled as this one is lauded.",7
"if i see from the Indian film industry point of view its a great movie probably will reach the 100 Cr milestone. but when i see it as a viewer i was hoping for more dark, emotional and strong movie. Movie failed in this case. Milka Singh is the icon for Indians in field of sports. The movie should inspire us. But instead Mr. Mehra(director) made a an entertainment movie with unnecessary comedy and poor story.

First half was so poor that i almost slept. Second half was way far better. Farhan Akhatar was good but not best he was unable to give the painful expressions. The best acting can be seen by Yograj Singh.

India Pakistan rivalry is the worst part of the movie. i mean why Indian movies use Pakistan as their weapon for gaining patriotism an.

i Truly respect Mr. Mehra . i loved his 'rang De bas-anti' its one of the finest film of India but i am really disappointed with this movie",6
"Maybe I'm dumb. But given that this movies on paper is a masterpiece to me (I'm a big fan of Memories of Murder and Chaser ) but as execution, I feel like I'm fed a messege. And that broke the fourth wall for me.

The first half is masterfully plotted and acted and directed. It could have just stuck to this story and the eventual clash with the rich family. But the plot in the basement and the overall comic tone in the second half, it lost me.

It lost me even more that it's hailed as a masterpiece for Oscar. It's plain to see that Oscars have a political or some kind of Agenda. I mean over the years there has been foreign masterpieces that no one even considered in Oscars.",6
"This show is terrible.

Poor acting and even worse effects.

Such a misleading show that it's unbelievable.

What a waste of time.

I guess Twilight has a real competitor in this show.",3
Good fun and quality family sci-fi. Don't expect anything deep but great to watch with the kids.,8
"I am disappointed with the writing that suits more 2nd trier tv series plots then the best writing in game's history. The problem is that the original is so good, it is almost impossible to make it alive in satisfactory fashion. Teenagers will love it. They get decent amount of blood, sex and magic. And after GoT they have another medieval fast-food they can feed on. Only without unforgettable characters, stories, passion and humour. The Witcher has a great potential. I think the creators will know what worked and what didn't and make adjustments for the 2nd season. (please change Triss--Chestnut-red hair,Cornflower blue eyes???)",6
Season 1 has great fight scenes brilliant acting by both henry and anya but show has very confusing timeline and story with too much waste dialougues just making episodes longer unnecassirily,8
"Chornobyl...the name of the city is Chornobyl.

I really appreciate the fact that the story of this catastrophe is shown as truthfully as it is possible, honestly, truthfully, and with a minimum of soviet lying narrative. The truth must be shown, no matter how terrible it is.

For me, as a Ukrainian, this is another terrible story that my parents, grandmothers and grandfathers lived through, another terrible page in the history of soviet period, which was silenced, distorted, and lied about. Even the title of the series carries a touch of the soviet past, which was imposed as a yoke on the Ukrainian people in 1918-21.

Many stories like this should be screened, these scary pages from history, we should know it, know the truth to avoid it's repetition in the future.",8
"I'm old school. Superheroes movies are supposed to be fun and the superheroes themselves should be morally upright. They should stand for that old cliche - truth, justice, and the.... well that covers it well enough.

We are already beginning to see the moral ambiguity of Captain America: Civil War. Stark is not a good person. The end justifies the means for him and. I question if there is any line he wouldn't cross. Most of the other Avengers are not quite as ambiguous, but they cover a spectrum from Captain America at the one end to Stark.

The movie itself is all about ruthless destruction which inevitably leads to massive cold-blooded deaths. A few of the deaths are heartbreaking to the viewer, but why aren't they all heartbreaking.

Governments in the Marvel universe now begin to see that the Avengers are often as dangerous to civilians as the villains they oppose.

Today's media entertainment is about action at the expense of everything else. And money is their only morality.",2
"What an awful mess. Cheesy, dumb dialogue, choppy editing. Horribly predictable attempts at being interesting, sentimental, humorous, edgy.

This felt like the result of an uncool aging filmmaker trying desperately to be cool and relevant and failing miserably. Too many stupid scenes to mention... too much stupid dialogue to point out in a single review.

One Star was for the occasional humorous line by Ryan Reynolds. The other star was for the eyeball scene at the very beginning of the movie, which was actually funny.

The film warrants no more stars, and I'm being generous by not considering deductions for the many flaws, which would have the final rating at negative -3,782 stars.",2
"There are better movies using technology as a narrative framing device - This could have been told without it.

I felt that the film ""Unfriended"" (2014) made far better use of communicative technology and the social patterns which are formed and which drive the language and framing of ideas.",4
"Key and Peele make SNL look like the worst episode on Sesame Street.

If these two where put on earth to do this series and that's it, we've been blessed.

This is top shelf comedic brilliance in every aspect. The quality of the skits is outstanding. I'm shocked how they fit so much entertainment in 30 min. Yet it leaves me smiling all day. Even the extra actors in the skits have better acting skills than most of the hosts on SNL.

Good days or bad days, these guys make me laugh.

My only complaint is that I wish each episode was at least 60 min.

And very sad this legendary series is over.",10
"I was looking forward to this coming out on ppv. How disappointing !😔 My confused about the high ratings. This movie had no flow. There was no connection, even musically from beginning til end. My expectations were too high! I thought this was going to blow Kris and Barbara out of the water.. it didn't make a puddle.",4
"I really enjoyed this series and binged watched it from start to finish.. but how disappointed I was when I discovered it was not a true story. However if, like me you are a big Chess fan, knock yourself out. Great story, acting and writing!!",8
"I have to admit that this series disappointed me a bit. I don't even have that much of a problem with the introductory episodes because they tried something different, something original and that isn't a copy paste of most MCU movies. In the end, however, the series turned into just that. They introduced some characters into the series completely unnecessarily, they have no purpose. Let's say the series is made so that we don't even need a main antagonist, but when they introduced it towards the end, it seemed to me irrelevant. Some parts seemed stretched to me so I got the impression that the whole plot could fit into one average MCU movie. They asked some questions to which they did not give us answers so they ask us to continue to follow and watch the rest of the story. I give the biggest minus to the series because it turns out to be completely irrelevant.",6
"I've always been a fan of anime series, my favourite being Berserk. I tend to focus a lot on the pacing and the built tension when I watch anime, and Berserk is The master of pacing. Another thing I tend to focus on is character development and overall sentimentality of the show. Many anime characters are quite over-the-top, a major let-down for me. As are many scenes in anime. Claymore succeeds on most levels. The pacing is some of the greatest I've ever seen, and the inclusion of ranked characters just adds to the excitement. It's always interesting to see who's got the higher rank. Furthermore, you really start caring for the characters and picking out your favorites (mine being no. 6, Miria). The show only fails on a few levels. You're in for a lot of melodramatic scenes, and the protagonist's male friend, Rocky, is just another annoying brat who cries more than good is. It's no worse than so many other animes and gets better halfway through. The second, and final, major letdown is the anti-climatic ending. There is an epic battle, but the way it ends after the battle is simply not good enough. It feels unfinished, ill and way too sentimental and moral for a show of this kind (it might have something to do with the continuing issues of the manga).

However, you're in for a treat. And you're not going to want to put this show down, before it's ended.",8
"I must admit that I have grown tired of Marvel movies. The extended universe not only entails that every movie and character must be connected, but also that you can't see a Marvel movie without having to see all of them in order to understand the context. I have seen all (I think, but frankly I can't be sure anymore, as they tend to blend together). Most of them are enjoyable to watch, but they do not offer much in the sense of emotion or thought, which means they are easily forgettable.

In this case, I had no idea what had preceded the movie (yes, I saw Age of Ultron, but still have no idea how Bruce Banner ended up in space). And in fact I am still not sure if I saw a Marvel movie or a parody of a Marvel movie. There was so much that did not add up, so much that was too silly or anachronistic to make any sense. Sure, I laughed at times, but I that's pretty much all the emotion this movie got from me. It's not bad, it's entertaining at times, but it didn't really make much sense, and it certainly did not make me think enough to believe that I will remember any of it tomorrow.

In conclusion, this movie tries hard to recreate the combination of humor and action that worked very well with Guardians of the Galaxy, but fails.",4
"The main reason of disliking is the weakness of story line. Why would Mumbai based gang lord Mahajan's son will be kidnapped by a gang lord in Dhaka? Geographically the distance is so far. It could be like in the war of Mumbai and Maharashtra based gang started with a conspiracy involving a very fierce third party gang lord Asif in deal. But this movie is like forcing into a clash for nothing.

Second of all, very weak research on the city named Dhaka. Though it was all filmed in Kolkata but the every it represented Dirty Kolkata, Traffics are mainly indian car/cng covered with Dhaka painting. Dhaka is far clean & modern than Kolkata. In an action scene, every household showed listening Hindi Songs which is not even real in Kolkata. Finally, the Elite force copying RAB and portraying Bangladesh Army uniform is so offensive whereas our Armed Force is known in this world for its Peace Keeping Mission throughout the World which is well endorsed by United Nations.

Keeping emotion aside, Chris acted very well and he deserves all the credits if anything left in this movie.",1
Just do not understand what all the fuss is about. Maybe I am missing something?,3
"Who hasn't seen this tired movie of seniors in high school trying to score booze and chicks. Wow it was SUPER BAD. Are you kidding me, this was terrible with little laughter, more of trying to figure out why it lasted so long, we kept checking the display button to see when our misery would be over, hoping there may be something of that had some comedic value. I guess if your in the 16 to 25 age group it may resonate to your high school years more then mine, but it all worked the same then as it does now. So three guys try to figure out how to get booze and hook up with chicks and go through the usual BS to score the booze,

a very boorish story line that has been played over and over again and again. This review is so boring because there isn't much to talk about the movie.",1
"Something was particularly missing in this installment. I felt they used many characters that just weren't needed. For example, I just did not see the purpose of Johansson's character. The plot was well themed but it lacked direction at certain intervals. I kept on reminding myself that this is a comic book movie, this is a comic book movie...But so was Iron Man. The director tried too hard to make it good but in the end it just lacked a strong plot that made the first one so good. Also, the bull technology nonsense that they kept on talking about just made my head spin. So many plot holes, so many unnecessary scenes and characters. In the end, the director just created a summer blockbuster; in nowhere would this ever be considered a classic.",7
Good storyline but impossible to watch because everything is filmed in the dark. Did the budget not run to lighting. I get it's supposed to be a dark and moody series but the latest phase of filming things in the dark is getting ridiculous. Does the production team not watch these programs before release,3
"Iron Man 2 was an excellent movie, it was pretty different from the first, but still, it's probably so good as the first. Iron Man 2 is just an unforgettable experience, it was just a modern version of the first, cause it still the satisfying humor, the tons of action, the amazing visual effects, the amazing soundtrack by AC/DC and some other titles, the amazing performances, but the great cast, was still great, but even though they unfortunately got rid of Bridges and replaced Howard by Don Cheadle, they joined the cast Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johanson, Sam Rockwell and Mickey Rourke, how awesome is that?

You definitely have to watch it if you haven't, it's one of the best sequels in history, it's right in the middle of Aliens and The Hangover Part II, Iron Man 2 is awesome and I know it was a bit underrated, but that's stupid and I don't agree with anyone who said this is a bad movie, it's a fantastic combination of excitement, action and humor, I highly recommend it, it has every thing you need in a movie and it's one of the best movies ever, it's one of the superhero movies ever and it's one of the best sequels ever. Iron Man 2 doesn't disappoint at all. Already re-watch a lot of times. Iron Man rocks, Iron Man 2 rocks, The Avengers will definitely rock.",5
"The plot sounds interesting, especially the memory deleting bit. But everything apart from that was boring. I was waiting for the movie to end. You don't feel happy or sad for the characters.",1
"I love, love, love the original Lion King. It took me awhile to see this movie cause I was skeptical about remakes or reboots. I really don't like or care for them The only thing that made sense in this movie is the incredible James Earl Jones. He was awesome then and now. Everything else fell flat. I think they should've cast better actors for certain parts. Please stop messing with these timeless classics. If it ain't broke DON'T fix it.",2
"Loved the video game, and after a rough start, I was drawn into the narrative. Cavil as Gerald and Cholatra as Yennefer carry this story as they should. Yennefer's character makes the biggest journey in season 1 - really impressive.",8
"As a huge fan of Lady Gaga, I must admit that I thought she was dreadful. I don't recall an actress that tried so hard to be natural that it came off totally fake and forced. Talk about chewing the scenery.The only other well respected actress to do this is also is Angela Bassett, who ruins everything she is in,FOR ME. This film besides the large budget .In short GaGa cannot play Vulnerable and Naive. Besides chewing scenery she looks like she could chew Bradley. had the worst costume design work recently in any film large budget or small. Bradley Cooper certainly has no eye for design. As for the film generally speaking it was paint by the numbers.The first bar scene where Gaga sings, it is mentioned that they do this Drag thing once a week.Moments later we have a Drag Queen say Something to the effect that she does not want to lose her alcohol license. This is not a gay bar. It is a straight bar that has Female impersonators once a week. There was not one original moment in this ASIB. For a women like Ally who claims to be insecure performs diva like from the start singing La Ve en Rose. Then we have Boring Montage's and flashbacks that did nothing. Where this film really fell apart was in the SNL number. It was quite possibly the worst musical Number in a film ever. I should have seen Venom with a real talented actor. Sam Elliott was good as was Gaga's manager. The rest was a big SO WHAT. Still can't get over the horrible costume work. Word of mouth will kill this.",2
"I liked the first Thor-movie a lot and the sequel ""The Dark world"" was also not bad but not as good as the first thor. And now we have Thor Ragnarok and by God what a terrible movie! The story is stupid, the monsters are also, the sister Hela is terrible, Jeff Goldblum as some sort of gay ruler in a garbage world is extremely stupid etcetra etcetra.... In fact the whole movie floats only on the special effects (as a lot of Hollywood-movies do lately) and you must be childish to like this movie. I can not understand that this absolute monstrosity of a movie is reated so high on imdb.com because it is an extremely stupid movie intended for children or people with an IQ lower than an monkey. Disney should pay me money for loss of 130 minutes of my time!",4
"Nichijou is, without a single doubt, one of the best slice of life made in the long history of slice of life.

Its action-packed over-exaggerations of everyday life will undoubtedly keep all audiences in the edge of their seats, not knowing what sort of crazy antic will the show pull off right in front of them, be it a rigged carnival game, a deer attack or even an atomic bomb.

The story itself is seemingly simple; it follows the daily life of fellow classmates Yukko, Mio and Mai, paralleled by the (not so) peaceful Shinonome household. While the main characters are undoubtedly robust, the show also brings a variety of supporting characters, all equally unique and lovable to an extensive degree.

Many of the gags are easily understandable and fun to laugh at, though there are some jokes that rely heavily on the knowledge of Japanese culture (most notably the 'Helvetica Standard' segments). Though its intense energy in its presentation would surely give you a good chuckle regardless, even if the references don't exactly make sense immediately.

The animation and voice acting further increases the level of intensity that Nichijou has to offer, with each frame giving the biggest impact, along with every voice lines being delivered with utmost passion from each voice actors.

Overall, if you are a fan of slice of life, comedy, anime or even just a random passerby, Nichijou is an absolute recommendation, which will guarantee you, in the best scenario, an abundance of laughter and heartfelt joy, while in the worst case scenario, a few chuckle.",9
"The mystery of the film is how does anyone like it? It was a mess, especially compared to the first Knives Out.

The main issue here is the writing, which leaves us with an unsatisfying ending. There's no ""ah ha!"" moment. There's no ""of course! It all makes sense"". It was just lazy and, as Benoit puts it, dumb. To write good mystery, the writer needs to be more intelligent than most of the audience. Rian appears to be dumber than most of the audience.

And there's no subtly, no intelligence, especially with the characters. They're too the nose. None of them are likeable or relatable.

Hopefully the next film focuses less on Easter eggs and more on a solid plot.",3
"""Forgetting Sarah Marshall"" is a Comedy - Romance movie in which we watch a man breaking up with his TV star girlfriend. They both traveling to Hawaii without knowing that the other one will be there. Things are getting even more complicated when she brings her new boyfriend.

I liked this comedy movie because it contained many hilarious scenes along with a simple but funny plot with some plot twists I did not expect. The interpretation of Jason Segel who played as Peter Bretter was simply hilarious and he made the difference on this movie. Some other interpretations that have to be mentioned were Mila Kunis' who played as Rachel Jansen, Russell Brand's who played as Aldous Snow and Kristen Bell's who played as Sarah Marshall. The direction which was made by Nicholas Stoller was very good and he made very clear from the start of his movie that the audience will laugh a lot. Lastly, I have to say that ""Forgetting Sarah Marshall"" is a nice movie and I recommend you to watch it because I am sure that you will laugh a lot too.",5
"The show starts very interesting and intriguing. However it has a lot of ""filler"" moments or moments where things could all be resolved then and there, but the hero is stopped from taking action due to personal reflection/introspection or something only to spring into action when the chance is gone.

Also there's the protagonists ""trait"" that interferes with the story when it is least convenient. And you find yourself being annoyed at the writers and the use of pretty obvious tropes to delay progression of the plot.

Because Disney releases this show on a weekly basis it becomes very frustrating really fast because you feel the writers are just wasting time that could have been spent on plot progression and you keep thinking no this isn't what I waited a week for. Go on whit this or that don't waste it on pointless ""slapstick"" or ""fish out of water"" jokes. And you find yourself spending more time checking how long the episode still has left to get to a point especially because you will have to wait a week for the story to continue.

It's still an intriguing show. But it works out certain tropes really cliché and it's delaying/episode filling could have also been done differently with more Background lore exposition for instance.",4
"Maybe if I didn't have almost everyone I know tell me to watch this it would've been better. But rewatch it? Some people over 5 times is borderline insanity. The story is poorly written, the sync between the over produced singing and at times laughable mouthing, and the terrible cgi all took me out of the feeling multiple times. I did appreciate how much they showed how selfish the main guy was, but there was no sense of him involved with the troup of freaks for more than just money. At times they tried to imply but they really were just a side character that he also happened to exploit. Also, what circus only has dancing and singing? This was definitely forgettable and I can't believe how many people told me to watch it. There is so much better cinema out there people! Most Disney movies are better than this.",5
"Or Wandavision 2.

Why throw music at each other? Memory shops? Overpowered Wanda? Annoying America gets her deus ex powers at the end? Magic book nonsense? This multiverse nonsense is not a cover up for bad writing.

Sam Raimi adds a little scarier content. Great visuals. That is all.",2
"As usual, this show is not nearly as bad as the 1 star raters say nor as ""amazing"" as the 10 star folks say it is. I read the book on which this was based, as I had read Martin's original Song of Ice And Fire a many years before HBO made it into a series. Very similar in the way they are laying groundwork and cut to the chase and streamlined many characters and houses so that it's easier to follow. This was a good first episode they can build on. Give it a shot and see how it plays out. So far, so good.",7
Was secretly wishing she would of just flown out to space and save us the agony of wasting time. I am the type of person who hates to abort a movie once Ive started Seriously an untrained chimpanzee would of done a much better job than so called DR Stone Made me hate her character and the actress I need to keep myself together this is the first time that I've ever developed such disliking for the protagonist As an oscar film expected much more for this Also some common sense she would of flown too far out of space Just let her die already or let her run out of oxygen and suffocate,1
"Netflix, you've done it again. Another quality production. The cast were excellent, the story-line fresh and new and the script was riveting and exciting. UNFORTUNATELY, ... I got overly excited and watch all 8 episodes in one day. I should have stretched it out but, hey, ... I loved it. I do have a question, however. There seemed to be an opening for another season at the end. Am I right? I realize that may not have been the intention but I know that I would certainly love to see another one. Of course, bringing back El would have to be a foregone conclusion. I would also have to agree with a previous reviewer that mentioned that the government entourage was pretty weak in this series. I would suggest beefing them up and making them more believable in any future effort.",9
"The script was a major dog in this movie. Upon rewatching the film, it's clear these are different characters, not the same ones in the first. There's too much babble in this movie about topics only drugged out college kids and professors would discuss, not real people. It gets absolutely ridiculous after a while. Also, Marvel is hurting their movies having the superheroes be worried about every single innocent person. These heroes would be thanked in real life for their service, not chastised and condemned. Civilians condemn the Avengers for the lives of a few people dying in spite of the fact the villains were either trying to take over the entire world and kill a lot more or outright destroy it completely. It's ridiculous. The humans have no ability to control these superheroes either; they are Gods. They would answer to them, not the other way around. Like most babble from college types, it's just not grounded in reality, but more the result of ultra-privileged, sheltered lives and a lack of a willingness to understand how the average person operates.

The CGI model of Ultron was incredibly bad and made it hard to take him seriously. It was cartoonish, a total hack job. There's a reason they largely kept him out of the trailers. Not sure who was responsible for that, corporate hacks or whatever, but it really hurt the film.",3
"Love several new series, but would someone PLEASE turn on the lights? Everything is so poorly lighted - I can't watch in daytime",3
"Karl Urban is so good in this, that he is by far the reason this series was fun and enjoyable.",2
"The shows starts off with an ordinary man striving to become a superhero and with a ridiculous training regimen, he succeeds, and becomes virtually invincible. With wacky villains and amateurish heroes on this humorous and action-packed journey, the god-like protagonist struggles with boredom in spite of his powers.",8
"The Greatest Showman, despite being a huge hit, is not anything great. It's just perfectly adequate. I mean, there's definitely some really cool things about it, it's very energetic, but other than that, it's just... adequate!

What's the story? Inspired by the imagination of P. T. Barnum, The Greatest Showman is an original musical that celebrates the birth of show business & tells of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation.

Now, don't get me wrong, I LOVE Hugh Jackman. He's very good at playing the Wolverine in the X-Men movies, and he's also very good in The Fountain. In this film, however, you can definitely tell he's giving it his all, but his performance isn't quite as good as what he had to offer from the other films he was in. He seems to show not much emotion in certain scenes, often affecting his fired up nature and ambitious personality. The rest of the acting is pretty good, especially when it's time for them to sing. The musical numbers in this film are FANTASTIC! Well, most of them. Tightrope wasn't really that good and they overplayed A Million Dreams by a million. Fortunately, the rest of the songs, especially Rewrite the Stars, This is Me, and The Greatest Show are very good songs filled with energy, and are also a lot of fun to watch. The choreography is very well done, even if it can get a bit silly sometimes, and make the musical numbers both a spectacle for the eyes and the ears. However, not everything is so good about the film. For instance, the movie is extremely historically inaccurate, an example being P.T. Barnum's character is more brighthearted despite not being that kind of person in real life, there's all of these unnecessary matches that didn't happen in real life, and it's played to be more of a fantasy than a historical film. Which isn't that bad, I mean, it's worked in a lot of Disney films, but in a live-action retelling of a famous showman, it doesn't work here, making the writing feel rough, inconsistent, and even terrible at times. Another thing I'd like to point out is that the characters themselves aren't very interesting nor compelling, and I feel like their sole purpose is to create unnecessary subplots that don't go anywhere in the story.

In conclusion, The Greatest Showman has got some good things, as well as having some bad things, and in the end, it's nothing short of adequate. It makes a good family film, but that's about it. If you REALLY wanna see a movie about the story of P.T. Barnum's career taken into a more sugar-coated Disney-esque fashion, then go all in for it. But for those looking for a top-notch musical film that also serves as a historical film, no offense but this DEFINITELY isn't for you. Watch it once, maybe again, and that's all you need with this film. Not exactly the best movie to see, but it's not the absolute WORST film ever. Critics hated it, audiences loved it, I'm... sort of in the middle. What can I say but, P.T. Barnum has never felt this average before.",6
"Actors are phenomenal. Story stays true to its roots. Grabs you and doesn't let you go. Sadly, we meet the girl end of episode 1 and full on episode 2. That's all I've watched and don't think I can gather the muster to watch the rest. The girl ( trying not to spoil with names) is so miscast and just really bad. I mean... takes you out of the story so bad. Annoying, histrionic acting, horrible in every possible way. Who cast this person and why??? Perfect story, perfect level of dread, perfect acting. And then? Ruined. By one miscast, whiny, annoying bad actor. Why? Soooo much potential. On the edge of my seat, until ..... can't watch anymore of it.",7
"I wouldn't recommend you to see this movie, there's nothing scary about it. The whole point was to make a 3d movie to commemorate the main actress.",4
"These films don't have the heart and soul the Harry Potter films did. The sense of awe and wonder is not as evident. Maybe I'm slightly biased, but I'm not the avid fan of the Harry Potter films as I am the books. The books were special. As a reader of the books you could watch the films and appreciate the basic story telling of the films but revel in the knowledge you know secrets and details only to be found in the books. J.K. Rowling has a fantastic imagination and includes many subplots that all tie in to a big finish in the end. It makes for a great book. Unfortunately, not a great movie. I know J.K Rowling is heavily involved in the story telling of these films. I can see the same method she employed when writing the HP books is being used in these films, ie, subplots. Again, it keeps books interesting, but makes for a drawn out, boring film. It's just not working. The characters don't have chemistry, and the focus is being put on a character that I don't see how anyone could find interesting (I refer to Ezra Miller whose characters name I don't remember. My point exactly.) It has been several months now since I've seen this film and can't remember much about it to be honest. Except for Jude Law as Albus Dumbledore. I don't speak for everyone, but I feel confident in saying most of us want more Dumbledore.",5
"I thought wow Leonardo, Brad, Margot and even Al Pachino so many big names which you expect from Tarantino. It kind of goes nowhere and takes a good 45 minutes to introduce all the players. Then a huge crime of making Bruce Lee appear overly arrogant and beatable. Then it plods some more and you think oh it's done and that was not the best use of my time. Sorry Tarantino I do love most of your films this is not one of them. This is no Kill Bill, Djano Unchained, Pulp Fiction or True Romance epic. I've often thought I must watch Jackie Brown again but Once Upon a Time in Hollywood I do not need to see ever again.",2
"The premise was compelling but in the end pretty predictable. Familiar formulas, familiar tropes. Good for an occasional laugh but definitely not worth the hype. Not to mention you might get a little annoyed by Disney lazily referencing it's other cross-conglomerate franchises to elicit a chuckle and in the end comes across tacky and cheap.",4
"This is ""Coming to America"" meets ""Buck Rodgers"". Awful special effects, costumes, script, music, acting, everything. In the future, this will be looked at as an example of when the Academy only nominated a film because of race. If you liked it, you have zero standards in the true excellence in film making. This is absolutely no where close and it's appalling it's being nominated that way. This should've been a Saturday morning movie for 12-year olds. Glad I only paid my Netflix subscription to watch it.",2
"Is there anyway to give 20 out of 10? It's a great TV series and Jack bauer is greatest. What an action hero he is! Hat's off. He is just one of a kind. Those who didn't watched it yet I strongly recommend you to watch it as soon as you can. Just finished the 9th season (all) of the series. Now I am feeling empty, watching random episodes from a randomly picked up seasons. I wish I could watch Jack bauer again.",10
"For all of the people who don't like to watch cartoons, you're missing out on this masterpiece. It is way ahead of its time in the subjects that it discuses (war, race, identity, gender, finding yourself, mental health, etc). Amazing character development for all characters, an amazing storyline where even the ""filler"" episodes are spellbinding. Would recommend independently of your age.",10
Didnt like it. Its too crazy for simpletons like me. Just want to watch the last episode and be done with it.,3
"The film is less of a Spider-Man movie than a Sam Raimi movie starring Spider-man and Dr Octopus... who curiously resemble Raimi IRL. The film is full of bad CGI, bad slapstick, wacky camera-work and flat teenage melodrama. It's ""deeper"" than the first in that it's full of tragic characters, but it cartoonish in its rendering. Its hard to care about anyone when the cast are all wooden, the directing is juvenile and the script is cliché. But, while overlong and completely idiotic, the film is a crowd pleaser: flashy, fast, loud and easy to understand. Sam Raimi is like the poor man's Spielberg or Zemeckis, which was in demand in the early 2000s. This film is a poor copy of Superman 2. Watch Superman 2.",8
"This was truly funny, and silly, i thought it was done well, didnt really like Selena, I think she talks weird, but the dynamic between the 3 main characters was great, I laughed alot, the Sting thing was hilarious.",9
"Well, the first part, which could have done everything in half an hour, was completely guessed. The second part takes 50 minutes instead of half an hour to understand what's going on (the beautiful movie tries to distract you by placing a drinking glass in the sequence, but it doesn't succeed!!!). Almost all the formulas used in the previous part are used here, only instead of a big family, we have a group of friends and the events of the film are taking place in Corona. Overall, fun but quite ordinary.

It was a very good movie I think the puzzle this time was more complicated than the previous one.",8
"After reading numerous reviews on IMDb and other websites, and also finding out that the movie got the top position in the IMDb Top 250, I expected to see something really special when I got to the cinema. However, all my expectations faded away throughout the 2 and half hours of ""Dark Knight"".

Probably, the only outstanding performance is Heath Ledger, whose character is for sure the most charismatic guy of the story. On contrary, Batman looks cold and boring. The pace of the movie is a bit too chill down and relaxed in the beginning with all the action starting after 1/3 of the ""Dark Knight"". Story is rather good and often unpredictable. However, there are many illogical situations so much typical for blockbusters. For instance, at the end, why should Batman confess that he killed several good guys, if it would have been much easier to tell everybody that Joker did all that? Movie is full simplistic, naive assumptions about human behaviour in different situations.

In sum, it's not a bad movie, probably it's worth to watch it once, but I really don't understand how could it get such reviews and rankings.",3
"This is nothing like Knives Out and almost feels like a spoof of a mystery movie. This movie was 100% style and has very little substance. Both story and dialogue are poorly written and the characters are unlikable and over the top. It also tries too hard to be relatable by jamming as many current trends and topics into the story unnecessarily. A lot of the attempts at humor fall flat and some were even annoying.

The visuals are pretty good at times and I enjoy Daniel Craig's character, but neither could save this mess. I think I would be able to enjoy this more if it didn't receive such high ratings and wasn't so hyped up.",3
This is based on medieval poland. But there are more persons of colour than white people?,1
"Well, like the loud and rowdy midnight crowd I was anxious for the movie. We sat down through exactly, well around 22 minutes of commercials and previews, and then finally the movie started. It started off awesome! Bats making the sign. Couldn't ask for more. But after not that many years ago having seen so many Batman movies, I felt there was no need to make this whole new very very long introduction of who Batman is... and how this Batman thinks he's a ""Ninja"" Which was kind of a lame idea. And seeing how everything was so simple... the batcave was a lame looking basement. Alfred didn't know how to put anything together so he kept placing orders for Batsuit stuff. LAME Bat Car. I really don't know what they were thinking off with this movie. I actually felt embarrassed in a sort of way like, awe man you're making a fool of yourself when he said ""I'm Batman"" I was thinking, wow this is Batman movie, I had forgotten that... and I was thinking it was just some lame movie. I really wanted to like it... But it really wasn't good at all. Needed a good villain. The only really awesome part in the movie, I think was the part where Dr. Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow saw Batman as this huge scary looking thing. Ahh, Christian Bale just looked bad at Batman. His cheeks were too fat looking and they were popping out of the suit. And what was up with him having to make that really funny voice for it? If people end up liking this movie, I will not have one clue why.",6
"I REALLY wanted to dig this one, honest guv', I really did! As ever since I was a wee mischievous murder-mite I genuinely adored hysterical horror films about despicable dollies, tyrannical terror toys, preternaturally pissed-off puppets, and Killer Clowns from outer space, but sadly, for me, the creep-factor was a little low here; with all that being said, I still grooved on (doll) parts of it, in a gleefully goofy, Scooby-spooky-Goonies kinda' way! And kudos for bringing Teenwolf off the bench for a spell of grisly chicken rustling, as this lurid Lupus rocked my hen house, baby!!!! I also appreciated the delightfully doomy, faux-Gothic look of the film, Michael Burgess's lush-looking photography was pretty sweet, and the moody/retro Universal Horror, sinister smoke-slathered vibe was certainly not lost on me! And I jus' gotta say, Katie Sarife was a living doll! Aye! While the grimly ghost-wrangling Annabelle didn't quite ring my horror bell, I'd still be up for another round! As she's a pugnacious little cuss, and I respect that in a pint-sized protagonist!",6
"Feels like the whole thing was held back so that the PG-13 was allowed, shame. Apart from Woody Harrelson's (Cletus Kasady ) bad brown wig, acting was above average (just). I hope that the next movie is aimed at a more mature audience with a fair bit more carnage. I would recommend it though.",6
"Being an Asian myself, having grown up watching Chinese Kungfu movies, and then Jackie Chan's Rush Hour, I understand how people, especially Americans, love Kungfu. And although Michelle Yeoh is very good at martial arts, and I also adored her for 'Memoirs of a Geisha', this is not a good Kungfu movie. The film's Kungfu performances are really boring and lifeless.

In terms of content, I find there are 3 aspects to evaluate this movie, one: the appeal of the story, two: the humor, the third: the emotion and the message.

About the story, the multiverse theory is explained in quite detail, but it seems that due to the low budget, what we see is only described through Waymond's words. And the little dots on the screen or whatever screen. It's too simple to enjoy. And the detail of the ear device for multiverse communication is ridiculous and meaningless. The character Becky and the grandpa ended up having no role at all, completely hopeless. Why is Joy the villain? The story goes on and on and forces the viewer to accept everything. The multiverse is something huge and has a very wide impact, but the story here revolves around only a few people? Wtf not to mention that there are some universes that are just created for the purpose of comedy and have no meaning, and that humor is, I will say, = Zero. I can't laugh a bit when I see the humor in this movie. If you want funny Kungfu movies, watch a movie by Jackie Chan or Stephen Chow.

Fortunately, this film has a message and emotion, which is the commendable point of the film. The editor of this movie is Paul Rogers and he deserves an Oscar, the universes are shown continuously, especially towards the end,the scenes are also constantly transferred between different universes making it nearly impossible for the viewer to adapt and keep up with what's going on everywhere, but the music ties it all together perfectly. I like the music in the movie. Especially at the end when the meaning of family is gracefully expressed. From the very beginning we know that family is the heart of the movie. Although everything is shown quite chaotic and a bit boring, but the feeling of family is well put so viewers can still feel it. But this is also what makes viewers like me feel quite uncomfortable, I don't know whether to enjoy this movie in a serious way or just for fun? So I would be quite hesitant if I want to watch this movie again. And although the acting of the actors are impressive, but 7 Oscars? Please... At this rate, in the years to come I'll probably stop believing in Oscars...",4
"The inevitable question rises when a major war movie is released ""does this have anything original to say?"". Astoundingly, Nolan's new film is a yes. If one were to extract a theme from this script is that people will go through extraordinary lengths for survival. Not to take anything away from acts of survival in ""Schindler's List"". This movie needs little dialogue to show the unspoken communication between the vulnerable soldiers, perhaps left to die on the beaches of Dunkirk, France.

Nolan found a great moment to flesh out, and more importantly, deliberately exclude a great deal of side stories that easily could bogged down the pacing and the running time. Turning this film into a tight action film running only 1 hour and 47 minutes. Three primary stories are followed, two of which are filled with surprises. The first is the young English soldier who you sense is essentially lost. You never see him with his regiment or carousing with other comrades. Knowing he must do anything he can to survive, he sneaks his way through the crowd and ultimately must sneak around more to continue to stay alive.

The second story follows a father and his two sons as they heed the call to take their private boats across the channel to help the evacuation. Here some hard drama occurs where you might not expect it. Mark Rylance as usual becomes transparent in his role. You can read with his eyes what is going through his head as one truly appreciates the exceptional circumstances that are taking place.

The third story was somewhat featured in the extended trailers that were shown in theatres. Tom Hardy and his cohorts are on a fruitless mission to try and stop the German aerial assault on the retreating soldiers. In the large Imax format, the flying sequences are much more than showing the dogfights that take place. They put the audience in the air, being able to take a bird's point of view as we get the geography of the action scenes.

The editing is something worth noting, as there are jumps forward and back in time as the narrative follows one character's timeline, and then another character's timeline. It all remains coherent by giving the audience key moments from different perspectives, and again keeping the number of characters we follow down to a handful. It also makes for a quick piece of storytelling when the premise is simple enough to get with a few lines of dialogue here and there.",7
"I think the movie is a complete waste. I did not see any acting there, it was just a collection of phrases read by actors, some scenes, dialogs. And nothing came together. The sujet line was so promitive: the guy is old, the girl in young, they are both bored, so they go out and fall in love (hm-m, that's hardly to believe from the movie itself). Scarlett Johansson was so much better in the Horse Whisperer, because really in Lost in Translation she did not act at all.",1
"This is amusing and I have enjoyed watching it but it is built on incredibly stupid premise.

Why on earth would a group of superheroes need a corporation? Why would a guy with superman abilities be beholden to a bunch of flunkies.

It is stupid.

Especially when you consider the mentality of Homelander. He is a psychopath and intense narcissist. He kills anybody in his way. He is like a child with a machine gun. Who the hell cares about what is trending when you can fly? This was impossible for me to swallow. I kept going though because it was amusing.

Also Krl Urban's cockney accent was absolutely appalling. I come from Brixton (look it up) We don't all talk like Minder on crack. It was - again - STUPID.",6
"I watched it after it won an Oscar with high hopes. Half way into the movie, I realised that it is essentially a propaganda movie for American patriotism. Historically inaccurate, mediocre art direction and scenes that are not meshed together make it a bad script, much like the fantasy movie that is at the core of the plot.",4
"Too long movie for so small story. Once the very end is the only good part of the movie, it would be so much better if had only one-hour length.

If you didn't watched yet, perhaps rather start it direct from 1h30m.

Margot Robbie is one of the most beautiful actress of all times.",5
"I know iron man 2 is the most hated iron man film. Yes, it has its share of flaws. The first iron man was simple but powerful. Whereas in iron man 2 the story and screenplay was ordinary. Plus I didn't like the character of Pepper Potts in this film because she was very annoying and being insensitive towards Tony. I liked her in the first and third part. Also the ending could have been better. But if you ignore these shortcomings, iron man 2 is very enjoyable film. It has RDJ who is as cool as ever. Then you have Mickey Rourke as villain whiplash who was also good but his character could have been better. Then there was Scarlett Johansson as black widow making her debut in MCU, who was hot as well as badass. And there is don cheadle who replaces Terrence Howard as Rhodey. I don't know whether he was better than Terrence Howard but I liked him. Terrence Howard unfortunately missed the opportunity of wearing the war machine suit. But the scene was not appropriate were Rhodes wear the war machine suit for the first time. That birthday party scene was hilarious. And I loved the action scenes especially where tony wears his portable suit. Like spiderman 3, iron man 2 also got messed up with studio interference. Jon favreau was pissed up for rewriting the script multiple times. He was forced to include shield characters as a buildup for the upcoming avengers film. But that was affecting the main story. That's why favreau refused to direct iron man 3. I am big fan of Jon favreau and I missed his work in iron man 3. On the whole, if you want to watch a time pass popcorn flick, then iron man 2 would be the perfect one.",7
"Maybe I'm just too old to appreciate it, but finally seeing Superbad for the first time I just can't figure out what the big deal is. It's not that it's bad - it's just extremely generic. It's a teen sex comedy with crude, familiar jokes and gags, lots of slapstick, decent chase scenes and a couple of gross-out moments. It's completely beyond me how a movie like Superbad is considered by so many 'the best comedy ever made' - even if you ignore the existence of more intelligent comedies of the past like The Big Lebowski, Airplane, and the entire catalogs of the Marx Brothers, Mel Brooks and Woody Allen (the list could go on and on), even in its own limited genre there is very little to tell Superbad apart from the rest. It doesn't help that the two leads - played by Jonah Hill and Michael Cera - aren't interesting or likable (though they're both fine comedians who do their best) and the romantic interests are completely flat. Actually, the only laughs in the movie come from Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Seth Rogen and Bill Hader who are supposed to serve as some sort of side story - but if the side story is more interesting than the main plot, something is wrong. Superbad has no subtlety, no subtext, no real originality and is probably best watched while drunk or high.",5
So it looks and sounds amazing but what's the story? Or should I say whys the story. There's just no point whatsoever to this weird story. And that's all I want to say.

"From the production design to the costumes then to the lighting, everything about Jubilee is a visual treat for the movie buffs. The lifestyle of movie stars of that time are very well picturised with some obvious creative liberty taken by the makers.

The highlight of Jubilee for me will remain its music and background score. It is phenomenal to say the least. Prosenjit Chatterjee was the actual attraction for me till the end. He was quite intimidating as Shrikant Roy. Loved his work in here. Mr. Motwane and his co writers created a world around films in such a way that it just takes you back in time. Sidhant and Wamiqa have shown their potentials and I'm sure they are soon becoming a regular in many amazing projects.

Aparshakti has worked mostly with silences in this series. His acting range was well utilised but his character was not.

""Hai kuch cheeze jinko badla jaa sakta tha par wo badli gayi nahi"" and that is the reason why I felt there's something missing in the story. A connect.

Still very much proud that this project is fully out now for everyone to experience. Cheers!",8
"Nothing new to see here. This show has zero creativity or originality. The show is so creatively bankrupt they even used the SAME SONG as game of thrones. I've never seen a spin off do that before, as if to remind you ""Hey remember that thing you liked before, please like this too"" At it's best it's almost half as good as season 8 of GOT. There's no likeable characters and there's no one to root for. I don't care who dies and who wins, they can all die and I wouldn't feel anything for any of them. There's no interesting plot lines, everything feels stilted or forced. The makeup and CGI are distractingly bad. The were wood tree is like shockingly cartoons CGI. Even the cinematography is flat and boring. This show is resting on the laurels of GOT, which was already damaged goods with it's deeply flawed last two seasons. The actors are not bad, but I feel like they're suffering from lack of direction. The whole thing kind of has that flat ""Star wars Prequel"" kind of vibe. No one is very convincing and the world isn't immersive like it was in GOT. The more the characters develop the less I like them. The battle scenes are painfully stupid, like Michael bay levels of stupid. GRRM wrote really cool realistic battles, that's part of what made ASOIAF so cool. None of that is present here. Daemon might as well be Captain America with the way he charges in and kills guys while no one can hurt him until it serves the plot, then somehow he can still around around like arrows in his leg. They really seem like they're trying to create a Marvel cinematic universe with game of thrones and the whole thing just reeks of corporate ""product"" there's no passion or vision here. It's just a product for the lowest common denominator. The 4th episode was the final nail in the coffin for me, it's just boring and when it's not boring it's dumb,",3
"It's not as good as Game of Thrones at its height (Season 1-3), mainly because the characters and story are just less interesting and exciting. The scenario is much more calm in this series, being that the family that we follow are established and uncontested rulers, unlike the volatile situation of the original Game of Thrones, which created so many intrigues, betrayals, and wars.

That said, it's still an 8/10 show. The production values are quality and through the roof, unlike Amazon's Rings of power (where Amazon fumbled the ball badly). HBO took this show seriously and did not just make an aftershow of the original one.

You have the same quality atmosphere, cities, props, costumes, as the original show. In fact it is probably better than the later seasons of GOT.

Plus, the show is overall enjoyable especially for those of us that find themselves entertained by the Blonde Scandinavian like Targaryen dynasty (and I imagine many of us love this House and are sold on the show just for that alone, and Dragons).

Truth be told, let's just be honest and say that House Targaryen + Dragons + more Game of Thrones is an immediate minimum 8/10. Thank you HBO. In this boring world full of Amazon and Disney low value, this is a breath of fresh air.",8
"This is by far one of, if not the best marvel show yet. Tom Hiddelston and Owen Wilson are great, and even the music is amazing.

The story really makes you think about ethical questions and paradoxes, which no other marvel installment has done before (in this way).

They took a marvel character that was decent and made him amazing. Definitely a must watch, even for non die hard marvel fans.",9
"This movie is a crock of garbage. It's confusing, boring and flat out stupid. I was confused through nearly every point in the entire film except for a miniature few. I'm not some jealous guy venting just because he's mad at people who can make good movies, this movie is actually bad. Some of the humor was okay, but the storyline just flat out confused me! This movie had me lost half-way through, and near the ending, I was trying to think in my brain what exactly I just watched. Some guy named Star Lord who lost his mother and there's some blue guy who had something to do with him and hours later he turns out to be one of the most important characters?! WHAT?!!!! This movie made no sense to me whatsoever. Thumbs down.

The only redeemable quality about this movie, hence the reason I gave it 2 stars, is that the characters are well fleshed out. I like the characters. I like their personalities and quirks, and how they appear. They're well made characters! What else can I say? But the problem is that the storyline didn't do it for me. And for me, the most important part is a well thought out storyline that even though some things might not make total sense, the movie as a whole can get you to follow along with at least what the main thing going on is. But with me, I had no sense of lots of important parts in the plot. Some of the effects and characters are cool, but what's the point of a good character if it's not in a good story?

For me, I suggest seeing Avengers: Infinity War. That's a good movie. And with Infinity War, as dark and depressing it was, at least Marvel finally made use of the Guardians characters. Like I said, I loved the characters in Guardians, but I hated the story. With Infinity War, I could watch it and understand for the most part what was going on, and the characters seemed so much more likable and understandable and just good and characters that worked very well with the plot! Infinity War uses the characters as they should've been used in Guardians of the Galaxy. That is all.",2
First season was fantastic. In the second season the introduction of Electra is convoluted and the actress is beyond annoying. The Punisher sub-plot/introduction saves the season. Glad to see the Kingpin will be returning for season 3.,8
One of the best series ever made by Britain. The way of story telling is absolutely fantastic. Every seconds are thrilling and funny. Loved it !,9
"This series feels to me like another cheap superhero cash-in. It isn't thought provoking. The writing also feels cheap and the acting wasn't the best i've ever seen. Just when you think it gets interesting, it immediately gets ruined for some reason. It just doesn't make sense to me i guess. I have found myself frustrated by the writing quite a lot of times. Maybe i didn't give the series a chance from the beginning.",5
"The first two seasons were worth watching; the third is not. There's a good reason why the show's star has quit: the writing has become terrible and uninteresting. Contemporary identity politics tropes cannot compensate for poor writing and the ruination of the characters. It's a pity, too, as there was no reason for the show to commit self-sabotage in these ways. Responsibility rests with the writers first and foremost, but obviously others are liable for having taken a high-quality franchise and flushed it down the toilet thus.

If you've not started watching the series, don't commence it now. It's not worth the investment.",4
"I want my $20 bucks back. My in-laws were excited for this. We purchased (don't- wait until it's free in a week or two). I watched an hour and was so bored my the ridiculous dialog, and just overall... blah; that I left and watched Terminator: Dark Fate (not too shabby)- my wife and I'm-laws finished it.

When I asked if it got any better- I spent another hour hearing about what a letdown it was ect.

It's just be honest- it's a vanity movie. It's a story of divorce and mental issues- that's cool for some, but I think most were looking for an Amazing Stories level show... not a 2022 buzzkill.

Leave it be and go watch E. T.",1
"I just recently watched Shaolin Soccer before watching Kung Fu Hustle. I found the 2 films very similar since the creators were the same people. Hustle still gave me plenty of hard laughs. Perhaps, more than that of Shaolin Soccer. I do hope that western people will get to see this film. Although I'm from Asia, I don't understand Chinese. I still enjoyed the film because the jokes are visual. This made me conclude that you'll enjoy it so much as well. I wouldn't be surprised if Stephen Chow gets a Hollywood stint after this film. It contains spoofs for Spiderman, LOTR, Matrix, Daredevil and its up for you to find out. All done in a CGI- filled, action-packed fun.",10
A nonsense movie full of cliches. I hoped it was better than that but it really disappointed me: some good action but nevertehless a really boring film.,4
"This is a good movie but not as great as everyone seems to think.

Certaintly not the number one movie in the top 250. Heat, in fact,

was much better than The Godfather. Pachino's acting was not so

very good and the plot was slightly sluggish. The whole time

where Pachino is 'away' is a blind alley of a plot line and only

serves to kill off his first wife that has no bearing on the plot really.

7/10",4
This film is beautifully shot. Unfortunately there are so many plot holes it's hard to keep watching with a straight face.,5
"7 out of 10 for season 1!

Loki the character played by Tom Hiddleston is always enjoyable to watch & deserves his own show on Disney+, however the script though interesting does need to improve from season 2 onwards as season 1 was passable.

Owen Wilson was OK in this as his star power would attract an audience.

Sophia Di Martino was excellent casting as Sylvie & her chemistry with Loki works very well & I definitely want to see how their combined story will evolve however the rest of the cast I could take or leave without any real problems, as I think it needs more interesting characters as I have to say Richard E. Grant was awesome as ""classic"" Loki & showing an older & more experienced version of a ""loki"" divergent I think really worked perfectly.

Overall the series has been interesting however now it needs to step up it's game & evolve into something even better so let's hope it can do that too.

I gave it 7 out of 10 as it loses a star as the script could be better ( but still good with potential for a better second season ), plus it loses a star as some of the supporting cast are not good at acting which takes away from the show as hopefully these characters will be involved much less in future.

Finally it loses that 3rd star as some scenes drag on for far too long & they could have fleshed out some episodes much better with more content.

Overall though still a good show with real potential so looking forward to season 2 as Loki & Sylvie are both fascinating to watch & I do want more.",7
"Casting is terrible and seems intentionally confusing. No one ages at the same rate. The king looks like he has been rotting for 20 years and his brother stays 35. Kids grow at soap opera pace. Grown up actors don't match their child versions, rather their siblings.

I know it's not GOT so not comparing but I just thought it'd be a broader story with better writing. The only storyline is the family soap opera which is hilariously entertaining. The violence is laughable and the fighting looks like kids with play swords. Sound is very odd... they make sure you hear all the slurping, labor groans, wheezing, squishing ... basically all off putting sounds are clear as a bell. No musical relief. Indecipherable accents. HBO phoned this in pretty hard.",4
"If my review summary has thrown you off a bit let me clear it for you......this anime is something I've seen in a long time that felt so much real to me than anything else....the rawness of the emotion,every aspect of the lives of the characters and certain heat wrenching moments that can't just help but make you feel as if you were a part of the anime itself ; is more than enough to leave you emotionally devastated yet in some astonishing way hoping for a breath of joy no matter how much of a realist you are....also the music tracks are like the best use of any tracks in anime I've seen. ...so my suggestion is. ....if you're overly emotional or prone to feeling overwhelming surge of emotion. ...it's best for you not to watch this title.....if not....then you better buckle up...cause you're in for a emotional, twisty,surreal ,realistically optimistic ride....which in some way...might just change your view on life....",9
As someone who went into this series knowing nothing about its background I'll admit the first episode or 2 were quite confusing. But I figured out there were separate timelines and really enjoyed the series. The first episode was rough though with a lot going on and a lot to digest but I'm glad I stuck with it. Am looking forward to next season,8
"Not too crazy on zombie stuff, and I never played the titular game. Which makes me a true neutral viewer here, and yet the immersion was fast. Good, good.

The first 2 episodes were IMO the best: The pilot in particular, was rich, fast and multilayered in terms of emotions. After that, it becomes more episodic, and deals much more with the various bands of survivors encountered on the journey than the infected themselves, some of which were typical video games contraptions.

The tone is personal as the two main characters slowly unveil themselves to the other, but there are a couple of episodes where they focus elsewhere, both of them with homosexual overtones (which by now are mandatory I suppose). Remove these flashback episodes, plus the pilot which sets the terrain, and that's what, 6 episodes, all of them under an hour?

That's not much but it is enjoyable, for the good dialogues, excellent cinematography and great acting. It isn't an action-packed zombie flick (althought there are some good action scenes here and there), but more like a road movie. I will probably watch again.",7
As far as I am concerned overhyped by no means a classic.Have seen better war films than that.Was ok.,6
Am I the only one who thought this movie was just okay? Original songs were great but the story dragged and dragged.,5
"I mean come on man! Haad Hoti hai! First I was expecting when I'd write Jab We Met title that it's rating are definable 8.5 or 9. Not less than that. However, checked and it was a mere 7.9. Come on guys! This is heights. Aditya Kashyap (Shahid Kapoor) is a wealthy industrialist struggling with his business and personal life. With his company in a bad condition and his girlfriend marrying another man, he becomes depressed and wanders aimlessly until he boards a train, wanting to get away from his life. Inside, he meets another passenger, Geet Dhillon (Kareena Kapoor), a bubbly, talkative Sikh girl. Irritated by her talkativeness, he lashes out at her, but she thinks nothing of it, understanding that he is upset.

When Geet sees that Aditya has gotten off the train, she disembarks to let him know the train is leaving but ends up missing it herself. Aditya reluctantly helps her get to the next station but Geet misses the train again. Now stranded, she announces to the exasperated Aditya that she won't leave him alone until he drops her back home and the duo embark on a road trip to reach her house in Bhatinda. During the trip, they bond and Aditya begins to feel better, enjoying himself with Geet. At her home, he meets her large family, who shower him with affection for taking care of Geet and make him stay for a week. After her family tries to get Geet engaged to someone else, she decides to run away, as she has already confided in Aditya about the man she loves, Anshuman (Tarun Arora). Sure that her family wouldn't agree to their marriage, her plan is to run away, marry Anshuman, then come back and beg for forgiveness. That night, the two flee, and her enraged family assumes she has eloped with Aditya. The two head to Manali, where Anshuman lives. She tells Aditya to come meet Anshuman with her, but Aditya, now in love with her, bids her farewell.

Nine months later, Aditya's company is now a lot more successful and Aditya is more positive about life, having been influenced by Geet. He launches a calling card in Geet's name, which her family sees on TV. Believing Geet and Aditya are together, her uncles angrily confront Aditya, revealing that Geet has not contacted them for nine months and they have no idea where she is. Baffled by this revelation, Aditya promises that he will bring her back. He travels to Manali to meet Anshuman and discovers that Anshuman coldly rejected Geet the day Aditya dropped her off at his house.

Having learned that Geet is in Shimla, Aditya travels there and is shocked to find her as a depressed and quiet schoolteacher. He cheers her up by making her call Anshuman and swear at him, taking out all her anger. Guilt-ridden, Anshuman asks to get back together. Geet reluctantly patches up with him after Aditya advises her, though she is visibly distressed. The three of them drive back to Bhatinda and to their shock, Geet's family welcomes Geet and Aditya as a couple since they believe the two eloped, taking Anshuman to be Aditya's friend. Geet sees how Aditya and her family get along while Anshuman is rather standoffish and annoyed by them. She gets a chance to tell her mom the truth about Anshuman but can't bring herself to do it. The preparations for their wedding begin.

The next day, Anshuman explains to Geet how the two of them will go tell her family about him and remove Aditya from the picture. As an oncoming train drowns out his words, Geet has an epiphany - she loves Aditya and he is the one for her. She runs after Aditya, who is leaving, and declares her feelings and the two finally unite. They get married and have twin daughters.",10
"I am not usually bothered with the plot thickness etc in a movie but expect: 1- A PG-13 movie to be not aimed at 5-7 year olds and 2- to have some consistency in the story and acting. The movie started OK with the 14 year old, street wise Billy acting as a significantly more mature person would do but then, when he becomes a superhero (nobody must have told Zachary that the 14 year old Billy was quite a cool kid), he starts acting like a 5 year old. The problem is this continues throughout the movie, 30 year old looking superhero acting as 5 years old and the 14 year old Billy acting as a 30 year old. As the others said, it appears the director hasn't decided on the target audience, 5-7 year olds or adults. The movie feels like it was directed by two directors, one doing the parts of regular Billy and the other doing the superhero.",3

Well it's only been 2 episodes so far but I'm curious already and both episodes did amuse me.,9
"Spectatvm venivnt, venivnt spectentvr vt ipsae.

They come to see, they come that they themselves be seen to see and be seen.

What are the two most stunning and original episodes of an action packed mega-flick ""Inception""? For me, with no doubt, shock number one is an amazing fold of Paris defying all gravity laws. My second visual daze came when a mystic infinity of an archway was so suddenly originated between huge sheets of mirrors. Why amidst loads of incredible visual effects these conceptually simple scenes are so outstanding? Maybe, because the main part in both of them is played by Architecture…

As I watched ""Inception"" I got few really peculiar observations. Sure I'm not a movie columnist but an amateur who loves cinema, thus my thoughts are not a critique in any manner. However I'm a professional architect and since the most active and sexy character in the film is… Architecture (sorry Leo!) I'll dare to review a bizarre architecture of Inception.

New dimension with no fake tricks

A weird thing for a futuristic sci-fi: there are no sleek computers with translucent wall-size screens (Minority Report), no fancy gadgets full of pulsating lights (actually the only technical tool I've seen was a vintage metal case with archaic pump and rubber tubes), not even cell-phones! The other remarkable detail: world of architectural fantasies has no futuristic urban landscapes with gigantic video-ad's, (Oh, ""Blade Runner""), no oddly shaped skyscrapers (""Star wars""), no sterile-white interiors (""The Island"").

On contrary we're constantly introduced to the beautifully calm old-fashioned hotels or romantic scenery of French capital. What's all that? Gifted young architect Ariadne (a cute reference to the labyrinths of Greek mythology) could be really more productive using one of those shiny Apple machines for design of her complex mazes on multiple levels of subconscious worlds. Wouldn't it make sense? And yet she's doing it old school – card-board models, sketches, hand drawings pinned on the wall… Why? What those conservative traits and classic facades are doing in the dreamy land full of infinite possibilities?

It's clearly more than director's attempt to maintain certain style line of a cool vintage look. Thing is, they are trying to form a new dimension. A dimension built from time-space interlacement. Such interlacement somehow fantastically happens in our dreams. And I find it very honest that in order to present, to explore this wonderfully scary new dimension authors are not using those fake exterior features I've mentioned above. Instead they daringly manipulate with the fundamental characteristics of the space we are so accustomed to.

That's why we are so astonished with a scene of a folding panorama of Paris, when people walk out of the regular 3D world, as so familiar and comfortable to us Cartesian coordinates system stops working the way it should. And yet Codd and Ariadne continue to walk on the paved street as nothing happened. Everything suddenly is twisted and shaken without artificial gimmicks. The very core of the space as we know it – is lacerated, raped, changed forever. I love it. An organic simple ""walk on the ceiling"" of classical Paris is so cool and natural. (Way cooler than all those freakishly extruded by soulless software building shapes, which starchitects are desperately trying to introduce as a breakthrough into another dimension. Well, now we can see how false it is. Ariadne is better architect than Zaha.)

Smokes and mirrors.

The main definition of this dreamy reality is Maze. Labyrinth. That's the only architectural program Ariadne (still remember the Greeks, right?) is given by her client. So how do you design a mystic infinite space linked to the relativity of time in that new dimension? The Architect is using most transcendental tool – mirror. It's a stroke of genius. Two otherworldly (and yet utterly physical) philosophical substances – labyrinth and mirror are perfectly bound into one whole of a spiritual synthesis.

Oh, great blind man, Jorge Luis Borges! – you've seen it so clearly in your phantasmagorical labyrinths of nightmares:

I look on them as infinite, elemental fulfillers of a very ancient pact to multiply the world, as in the act of generation, sleepless and dangerous.

""Mirrors"" (translated by Reid)

In those endless reflections of archways running between the two mirrors placed against each other by the Architect an irrational rationality of the dream becomes so obvious. And when the mirror is shuttered – nothing changes: the sheer architectural prospective is blended flawlessly into the dangerously real imagination.

I truly respect this unpretentious approach. It's not cheap symbolism but metaphorical depth of human intelligence. It's an art. It's a philosophy. It's Architecture. It's a dream.

And there's no way in the world that sophisticated software would ever compete with architect's imagination that is able to project a magic into the existence and to turn a reality into the dream.

P.S. Funny, but I didn't like the movie actually. ""ExistenZ"" is way cooler.",7
"Don't get me wrong, the cast is great but what the hell was the point in sitting through something for almost 3hrs that doesn't fully engage or even give you a plot to suck you into the characters and setting. It's just so pointless and the fact they tried capping it off with the over the top ending really made me understand Tarantino is losing it. 5/10 is more than gernerous. Get off the Tarantino hype train please.",5
"If you liked, let's say the last three Harry Potter films, you're going to enjoy this film just fine. It's cut very much from the same cloth, with excellent special effects, wizarding world oddities, unsuspecting muggles, wand-waving, all that jazz.

Unfortunately it also shares a lot of flaws with those three movies. The colour palette is still pretty grim and dark, as is the general mood of the world. The characters are quirky and likable, but also rather one-dimensional or at least they don't grow a lot during the movies. The dialogue goes up and down in quality, though can be quite excellent in certain moments. And yes, dear J. K. Rowling, we get it. Bureaucracy is the root and symptom of all evil. All. Evil. Can we please move on to other subject matters because this is getting tedious.

On the other hand the film does improve upon certain things. It's nice to see the American wizarding society, though as stated, it shares certain annoying similarities with the British one. All the eponymous fantastic beasts are simply fascinating and the movie broadens Rowling's world excellently. I also like that the main character Newt uses these critters in combat as well, because for some reason the makers of these films seem to think that magical combat has to consist of fast-flying coloured blobs of light. And nothing else!

All this criticism aside, I cannot help but admit that I like the movie. I love the Harry Potter universe and I will see these movies however many they end up making. But that doesn't mean that I cannot point out the flaws. I love it that much.",7
"""Contagion"" gets off to a pretty strong start, and after the first 15 minutes or so you're settling in for what looks to be a pretty exciting medical mystery-thriller type of story. Those first 15 minutes establish that a virulent virus is on the loose all over the world. It's obviously a mysterious virus and obviously a powerful one, and it's also obvious that once it's discovered no one has a clue what to do with it or how to bring it under control. That opening has the shocker of a mother-young son death, as Beth (Gwyneth Paltrow) brings the virus home after a business trip to Asia, and passes it on to her son Clark (Griffin Morrow). Both die quickly and suddenly and unpleasantly, and this movie seems to be on the way to a great ride. And then ... it fizzles.

After that very exciting start, it just fizzled. It tries to establish its credibility by often using too much medical jargon, which meant that there were a few things I never really understood, and there were extended scenes that had no dialogue at all. Usually this was for the purpose of giving us a sort of slide show of images of what was happening - crowd shots, illness shots, looting shots, etc. But you can only go so far with that and make it interesting. This isn't without value. It is interesting to see some of the strategies that probably would be used by officials faced with this kind of threat, and with repeated warnings in recent years of the likelihood of a global pandemic striking eventually, the movie has a sense of relevance to it. There's an interesting twist on the type of ""conspiracy"" angle you expect to see in this kind of film. Free-lance reporter Alan Krumwiede (Jude Law) claims to have stumbled upon a cure that the government is deliberately holding back, but the twist comes when he himself is revealed to be out to profit on this epidemic. ""Contagion"" also features pretty decent performances from a solid cast (so you have people like Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburne and Kate Winslet as well as Paltrow and Law playing prominent roles) but to me it lacked power. It wasn't a gripping medical thriller. It was a basically ho-hum medical mystery lacking in any real or sustained excitement. (3/10)",3
"the only reason i am giving 2 star is because i loved Tom Hardy's performance and is a big fan of him ! i had so much expectation and was eagerly waiting to watch it but this movie failed me ! Rest of the actors were average for such a big movie! In real history there were total 693 British ships engaged in the action and out of them 226 were sunk, but in the movie i barely saw more than 30 including small ships and boats, it was so unrealistic.. The sound effect was poor and they were constantly saying 300,000 men is present on the beach but there was nomore than 3000 men.. in overall it was a budget movie , i wonder where they really spent 100million dollars",1
"... me, i imagine, not the movie. the modern movie viewer obviously likes this ""edgy, action-packed, gratuitously violent"" junk because it permeates the screen these days. i knew i was in trouble after five minutes in my seat watching the previews of soon-to-be-released movies -- all pubescent shoot-em-up, blow-em-apart nonsense. i might have given it three stars except for the obvious set up for the sequel ""Sherlock Holmes Two: Moriarty Teaches Calculus Badly.""

ugh.

let's see ... too loud, too exaggerated, too violent, too edgy, too much.

i'm tired of looking at actors standing in front of computer generated screens. at some point, maybe modern audiences will stop saying ""oooh aah,"" and look for some artistry.

one could hardly call this a

**spoiler alert**

as the next remake of ""Bambi"" will, no doubt, contain the obligatory checklist of ""action-packed adventure"" scenes, but i'm really tired of fight clubs, explosions, burning bodies, slow motion mutilation of human faces, etc.

if they can actually sit through it, Arthur Conan Doyle fans will enjoy the variety of allusions to his work. i had fun picking out lines and, during the too infrequent scenes where people were actually trying to talk to one another, noting traces of character in the characters. at times there was a glimmer of rapport between Holmes and Watson (Irene Adler was weak, the rest of the cast cardboard cutouts). unfortunately, i suspect Arthur Conan Doyle fans will be spending most of their time cringing.

please, do yourself a favor, if you really have an interest in the Holmes stories and, if you haven't done so already, read ""a study in scarlet"" and ""the adventures of Sherlock Holmes."" then go rent a few of the Granada television adaptations with Jeremy Brett and David Burke. you will enjoy some first-rate detective stories; well-written, well-adapted, and well-acted. i know that's where i'm headed right now to get that nauseating taste out of my mouth from bad popcorn and a bad movie.",2
"The inevitable sequel to the 2008 smash proves once again the perfect fit between actor and character as Robert Downey Jr. plays the title role with his rakish wit and deep sense of irony fully intact from the first film. Sharply directed once again by actor Jon Favreau and shrewdly written by another actor, Justin Theroux, the 2010 blockbuster is as much an actors' showcase as it is a special effects-saturated comic book adventure. This precarious balance is what made the first film so ideal, and while the surprise element has been replaced in part by a breezy familiarity in the sequel, the result is still far more entertaining than most in its genre. This is despite the fact that the movie is overpopulated with colorful characters, most worthy of a film of their own.

Overkill is a common problem in heavily invested Hollywood studio product like this, and one can quibble that nobody except Downey gets sufficient screen time to make a compelling impression. As hedonistic billionaire Tony Stark, the actor has to face off with no less than three villains, two figures who are intentionally put on a nebulous fence between good and evil, the mysterious director of a clandestine organization called S.H.I.E.L.D. and a love interest designed to be either a sharp, take-charge businesswoman or a helpless damsel in distress depending on the plot machinations. The story picks up Stark six months after the ending of the first film as he boasts to a rapt audience at the re-instituted Stark Expo how he has maintained world peace with his impenetrable suit of armor. However, underneath his hubris, Stark hides the fact that he is dying from poisoning by the palladium core in the arc reactor that gives him not only his unique powers but his re-born life.

Meanwhile, taciturn, cockatoo-loving Russian physicist Ivan Vanko is plotting revenge against Stark for the act of betrayal he feels Stark's father committed against his dying arms-dealer father. In fact, Vanko has designed his own arc reactor with the intent of destroying Stark, an act almost realized at the Circuit de Monaco. Stark's smarmy business rival, fellow weapons manufacturer Justin Hammer, will stop at nothing to secure the secret to Stark's armored suit, while U.S. Senator Stern of Pennsylvania wants Stark prosecuted for crimes against the state. On the fence about Stark is a carryover from the first storyline, Lt. Colonel James ""Rhodey"" Rhodes, whose friendship with the billionaire is severely tested by Stark's excessively destructive behavior. A new character, Natalie Rushman, is introduced in an ambivalent manner as a new assistant to replace Pepper Potts, Stark's feisty gal Friday-turned-CEO. Natalie's motivations are revealed in due time. It all comes to a head at the expo where Vanko and Hammer have colluded to produce an aerial battle royale.

That's a whole lot of plot to fit into a 124-minute movie, but at least the momentum never flags. The problem for comic fanboys may well be the dearth of action sequences. The showdowns between Stark and Vanko create the necessary tension although the build-ups are rather predictable, and the climactic battle sequence feels more like a swirling meteor shower since it takes place at night. Still, cinematographer Matthew Libatique and art director J. Michael Riva do first-rate work here with the production details. Moreover, the actors do their best even if their characters are given short shrift in the screenplay. Mickey Rourke relies on his own uncomfortably maniacal screen persona and idiosyncratic touches to embody Vanko's two-dimensional motives, while Sam Rockwell is even more cartoonish with a petulant, hammy albeit amusing turn as Hammer.

Replacing Terrence Howard, Don Cheadle does what he can as the put-upon best friend and archetypal soldier, but Rhodey has to represent the film's most thankless role. A surprisingly cast Garry Shandling brings a nice edge to the avuncular senator, and Favreau himself repeats his role as Stark's loyal chauffeur Happy Hogan. No fool as a director, he gets to face off to primarily comic effect with Scarlett Johansson, properly feline and physically adroit in her black catsuit, as Natalie. Her ball-breaking ""Charlie's Angels""-style fight sequence is entertaining if a bit derivative. As Pepper, Gwyneth Paltrow gets more to do this time around, bantering with Downey with Nick-and-Nora-level élan, but the character is near-impossible to believe. Fans, however, will have no problem loving and believing in the sequel, but the pervasive one-liners and the wild zigzags between hubris and insecurity make a strong case to redub the hero Irony Man.",8
This is one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. It seemed like a bunch of cut screens from a war video game sewn together. There was no tension. The characters make the absolute dumbest most counterintuitive decisions. No consequences and dude more bullet proof than John Wick. My advice is to spend your 2 hours watching something better and less insulting to your intelligence.,3
"Disappointing to see all of the source material and character development replaced with a fanfic. At least the visuals are nice, though the dialog can be tough to sit through, and the entire setting feels like they replaced all polish influence with western fantasy.",1
"The first ""Godfather"" is one of my favorite movies. So is ""The Godfather Part II,"" which is not only superior to the original but has a serious claim to being my favorite movie of all time. While Marlon Brando's presence is sorely missed, ""Part II"" does everything the original did and does it better. Its story is deeper, richer, and ultimately more thought provoking. While ""Part I"" was a tale of good and evil, ""Part II"" explores the Mafia as the ultimate perversion of the American Dream - something that took the innocence of the immigrant ideal and warped it into a criminal monstrosity.

""Part I"" showed how a good man can become evil. ""Part II"" continues that story and demonstrates how an amoral but complicated man can lose his own soul in doing what he thinks is right. Like ""Part I,"" ""Part II"" is endlessly entertaining but it's also more emotionally involving and satisfying. I love how the filmmakers show the parallel stories of Vito and Michael Corleone, who're both played brilliantly by Robert De Niro and Al Pacino. The fact that Al Pacino didn't win the Oscar for ""Part II"" is unbelievable; it's easily the best performance of his career. In fact everyone in ""Part II"" is great, from Robert Duvall to Diane Keaton to John Cazale. Like ""Part I"" the writing, directing, and music of ""Part II"" are flawless and make for some of the greatest scenes in movie history. ""The Godfather Part II"" is an unqualified masterpiece and essential viewing for anyone who loves movies. 10/10.",10
"I think the difference between Vito Corleone and Michael Corleone was that Vito was the beginning of the family and her mafia to protect the family, so all the family members were nice to her and did everything for his of course, it was reciprocal.

But Michael and even Sonny was in fact the heir apparent of the Mafia, and not only was he unable to gain the support of the family, and not only was he unpopular with family members, but he even found mafia connections within the family, and they were betrayed.",10

"A refreshing and creative television series. This series with its first two episodes almost sluggishly slow only to later pick up speed breaking new ""immersive"" ground in the superhero genre. Somewhat difficult to understand at first but quite unexpected, funny, and enjoyable, the comedic nature of this series eventually makes way for dramatic superhero action with heart-wrenching end. The various plot themes, from past television comedy series, to mysterious military thrillers, paranormal powers that border on magic make for a difficult script writing effort. The script though almost nearly becomes a seamless continuous television experience. The use of flashbacks and editing at times become worrisome in their approach but actually somehow redeem themselves quite well with their intentions reflective of great scriptwriting. All the loose ends almost magically come together with so many storylines explained and offering nice understanding of how individual characters fit with each other and themselves. Overall, this series becomes edgy and eventually introduces emotionally charged philosophical and humanistic quandaries. Definitely worth watching.",8
"This could have been a lot better. The English dub is awful, with the main protagonist being a full-time whining pity-party. It really starts to wear on you and it took me a bit to realize it's the constant self-deprecating ""I'll never be good enough waaaaaaaah"" that was subconsciously putting me on edge/annoying me.",5
"Don't know why I wasted my time on this one.

First few episodes were good but then the story started to drag.

Can't understand what people like about this series other than the catchy name.

Waste of time.",1
"There's a lot going on here. So much potential. The cast is marvelous. Maybe too marvelous that nobody can truly shine and anchor the movie for the viewers.

There are really brilliant individual scenes. Wonderful dialog, set pieces and costume design. We are immersed in both post WWI 1918 and the rise of fascism in 1933. The film moves between these time periods and unfortunately it only adds to a confusing plot. There is an extended flashback near the start of the film that felt overlong and jarring in its placement. But once you get to the 2nd half of the film, things start to come together more coherently. The obvious political statements regarding parallels with current political strife are not surprising but sometimes heavy handed.

Director O'Russell had considerable ambition here but in the end, fails to pull it all together. Enjoyed the individual performances.",6
Didn't care for it at all. Hated the constant closeups. Another disappointing Adam Sandler film.,4
"The Witcher is not a bad show, far from it. Although my rating of 7/10 may imply that.

My main problem is that I was not drawn to it after 7 episodes, which to me is a just a no-go in a TV series.

There is plenty to like: not enough praise can be given to Henry Cavil's protrayal of Geralt, the fight scenes are shot beautifully and the Bard character is a welcome comic relief, a la Tyrion.

However, every episode I felt I was watching fillers. Just episodes within the same universe yes, but with scarce links or progression in the main story arch.

Clearly this is because of the confusing timelines, which is fine in itself, but not at the expense of viewer engagement. The story arch that did advance more, I found not gripping at all.

I have never read the books or played the game. So ultimately I think this show cannot be rated very highly because it is a challenging one to fall for if you don't have enough background material on this world / these characters.",7
"The cast is good. The reviews are better, but ai didn't laugh.... through the entire 1.5 seasons I watched on netflix. Not so funny in 2019.",5
"The opening scene is awesome and then it pretty much drops off a cliff. The books (at least the first one) follow Geralt around. It's called The Witcher and it's about The Witcher. The show makes it clear early on that it's really about ""strong female characters"" and it just happens to have A Witcher in it somewhere. I don't want to see an old woman fighting in a war and telling a young woman about being a warrior. I want to see Geralt monster slaying and being a complete badass! But that's not the show! What a waste of Cavill.",2
"This was a great addition to the MCU. Captain America was his usual self. Black widow was great also and under used. Winter Soldier was a very cool villain. I do wish they did more of his back story. All you got were bits and pieces of it. Falcon was ok. He just found those wings and all of a sudden became proficient with them? The CGI was too notch.

The plot lost me a little. They did not explain Hydras involvement much. Maybe more in a future movie? Or do I need to watch the TV shows?

Also, no spoilers, but the whole reason the hellcarriers were there. I know what they were built for but why?

Just a lot of unexplained questions and briefly touched on answers.",8
"The idea of a hot female chess player in the 1960s is so far out there that it may as well be considered a fantasy drama. Back then, there weren't many women in the chess scene, let alone one as attractive as Beth Harmon. Still enjoyable to watch though and definitely one of the best you'll find on Netflix.",8
"Pankaj tripathi and rajkumaar rao are the main highlights of the film but aditya, abhishek and rohit did their role best. The film had a great ending. Songs were so good. Teen movie which make inappropriate content for below 18 but Netflix is giving16+.",10
"All spies' films with Americans and Russians involved are the same. I'm fed up of them. You can guess EVERYTHING before it happens. Here in Spain the film is rated as +18 but don't trust it, it only contains a couple of nudes and two or three bloody scenes. The film is slow, boring and the same film we have seen many rimes before.",2
"Went to see this with a friend who loves superhero films, and... MMM BOI. TL;DR: this film is an incoherent bad mess with no understanding of logic nor consequences; honestly, the cameos in the film were the only exciting part from the audience's reaction. The CGI was good and what earned the second star for my rating. This film is probably just a symptom of Disney/Marvel realizing that people will go see these things regardless of the quality and they can rake in the cash. That overarching complaint applies to so many other just-churn-them-out superhero films, but the first Dr. Strange film was a nice break from that disappointment-train of movies... it was actually kind of enjoyable, with a storyline that didn't make me want to smash my head against something blunt and dense. I guess they could only delay the inevitable so long and had a huge debt to the corporate-garbage-gods, and boy oh boy did it show in this film. Is it just me, but do the power levels between heros in this film mean nothing to the writers? Like someone is OP but then, nope, not anymore for this fight... and the only exciting cameos from other superheros, who've been established in other films, come in and then-wow, maybe this will be a better fight where logic appl-NOPE, just forget everything you thought you knew before, this film does what it wants. Hearing everyone groan ""WTF"" in the theater time and again was a nice consolation that kept my brain from imploding. I'm resolving myself to not see any more Marvel films, and I hope you do to. If it's good, someone can tell me about it.",2
"Words cannot express how happy I am that the high expectations I had due to the hype were more than fulfilled. The story is beautiful, the execution makes it brilliant. I really felt the joy and energy that everyone put in to make this possible. Margot makes a perfect Barbie, but Ryan's Ken is just perfection. I really hope they will get showered with awards and recognition!

The attention to detail is stunning. The movie often shows such iconic elements that kids that played with Barbies immediately recognize. In my opinion they did a great job on balancing the fact that they are dolls, but they are still played by real people.

Some points of critique: at times the pace felt rushed, for my mother depending on subtitles combined with the visual pace, it was not always easy for her to follow. I was expecting a lot more fashion from Barbie, it seemed that Ken was more in focus on serving the looks. Some musical numbers dragged a bit too long.

But still I give it a 10!",10
"Such a high score for Wonder Woman is ridiculous. It's an average superhero movie with a below average acting. And it's not because I can't stand Chris Pine that I write this. His acting skills are just not great, like you would expect for a movie with such a high budget. Gal Gadot is a nice girl to look at, that's for sure, but here also the acting wasn't that great. The different battle shots are way over the top, even if that's usual for superhero movies, and the CGI wasn't that great either. The story is also a bit long and boring. I'd rather watch the old episodes of Wonder Woman again than watching this movie again. But I guess for fans of this genre they might like this movie.",5
"Good movie up until the end, completely ruined it and made it pointless",5
Many people are telling this movie is not good at all but I think it's quite entertaining. The story is weak but the movie is good because it has some solid packed action which can make anyone elated. Overall it's a nice movie and a nice entertainer.,7
"A couple of general thoughts...

1. In the show, Geralt only uses his regular sword which is for humans, not his silver sword which is for monsters. Still he hasn't used his silver sword (only carried it) so far eventhough he's fought a couple by now...

2. We demand more hedonism in general on the show! Weither it's men, women, midgets or unicorns!

3. Where is the religious critique or tasteful/funny hitchslaps from Geralt that we can take part of in the games? Many of us genuine fans miss a secular voice of reason and dialogue in the show. Religion is medieval fairytale delusional h*mb*g and the current polish g*vernment is more or less the Nilfgaard empire, so yeah... do something about that in season 3.

4. Mind the show's (socalled) music of choice... Just quit this ridiculous PR towards Gen Z and in general the modern hipster subculture. Many of us fans who's been around since the beginning don't accept nor acknowledge a hiphop nor a electro pop song as music, using that BS in a teaser is simply ridiculously distasteful and doesn't fit with the atmosphere of the show.

5. An observation to point number 4... No more manbuns or hip trendvictimized cl*wn characters in the next season. Keep the contemporary modern hip looks to a minimum for crying out loud, this ain't a show on feudal japan and the samurai, who were the only fit individuals to wear a bloody manbun in history. Period!

To conclude... 2 seasons deserve a rating of 7.5.",5
"The way this show heading AMAZON PRIME is in no intention to move story ahead cause they don't know what to do next so dragging one of the best shows.

What had happened in 4 episodes of season 3 Is just one liner homelander becoming more aggressive that's it noting.

Hoping to see some interesting movements and story movement in upcoming episodes or else will skim through in 15 minutes cause it's not worth 1 hour to waste on viewing supe's making some ads.",5
"I found the first episode of this to have such insufferable characters I just didn't want to bother. So glad I did. After Alan comes along that's when things get really interesting.

Never seen anything like it. Does more than groundhog in s v inventive way.",8
Great show mostly due to Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany. The first few episodes are kind of slow but it picks up around the 4th episode. The best way I can describe it is a standard marvel movie mixed with the genre episodes of Community. To be honest Monica is kind of bland but the actress for her does a much better job than the actress of Maria from captain marvel. Randall Park as jimmy woo is the best character by far. Now it's looking like it might go over the top with this Agatha stuff but I'm hoping they can pull it off.,9
"Yeh naya India Hai !!! The film is cinematically classy, script wise Rock solid and can give tough competition to most of the war genre film's of the world. Real events interpreted bravely and the revenge of the martyrs in NDA's quick decision making governance is showcased thouroughly. For all the martyrs

A must watch war film !",10
"Fargo is good entertainer if you watch seriously. It plot a believable ,could happen story. A Crime story telling in a bit of comic manner.

This movie telling a crime story like Coen team's other movie no country for old man. Fargo movie loss its pace some places that could have been avoid. Anyway this is a good movie with descent screen play and the ""yea"" factor.

William H Macy plays cunning man's with humorous way of act some of the scenes we will get nice laughing. he hires two men for kidnapping his wife for sharing ransom money buts things have flipped away as they planned and they were running before police..... where the police officer played by Frances McDormand she was serious or comedy but delivered well i don't know though she won Oscar.

If you are interested to watch high action and pace you will be disappointed. This movie draws a calmly and different style (No speedy and close action sequences)Watch it peaceful mind you will enjoy very well.",8
"Anurag Basu is a refined director and has unparallel way of direction & story telling like connecting stories with scenes and building new plot. Movie is a definitely freshly made and made well, Abhishek Bachchan shooting in paddy fields clearly shows they are ready to harvest. The movie just needed a little more time for enhancing the screenplay. Clearly there has to some difference between Guy Ritchie and Mr Basu. Ludo is a mix of action romance with a blend of thriller. All the actors have strong characters and I believe every actor has done justice to it, RK Rao Mr Aditya Roy Pankaj Tripathi & Dangal girls - This is a bechmark of acting, keep doing well 👍.

Overall a must watch and it could be biggest hit after the pandemic be it from OTT. Go for it 👍

PS RK Rao No Woman No Cry song's jest no woman dont cry or should 😢 😊",9
"I can't help being very strongly biased about this film; I am a huge fan of J. K. Rowling's original work. I felt so excited about my favourite story coming to the big screen that, as a true fan (in all the worst senses of the word), my judgement is impaired in two ways: I am both over-enthusiastic and extremely difficult to satisfy.

Let's be fair: it is a good movie, ""good"" meaning entertaining. You don't want to loose a second of it, and it really feels like a quarter of the actual runtime - but that might also just be my ""over-enthusastic"" side. The fact that I had watched all of the other Harry Potter films half a dozen times each in preparation for this one, and also that I knew the Deathly Hallows book almost by heart, made me enjoy immensely this opus, whether it'd be only out of ""newness"".

But, and maybe I am being less subjective here after all, it is not a film of great quality - nor were we to expect one. The idea of splitting the last HP in two is convenient (""Convenient? More like awesome!""), but this leaves the first part fairly empty in comparison to, say, the other HP films. Moreover, it has to try to compensate for all of the (plot)holes the other films had left it with. Those who haven't read the book would therefore find a lot of continuity mistakes that are difficult to forgive. Although most of the story is well-elaborated, suspenseful and imaginative, the lines are so much reduced to basics that you can't help the feeling that the screenplay must have been revised and rewritten a lot. Yet, we get a few extremely enjoyable moments - some funny, some sweet - every now and then.

As for the acting, well, we're only sorry to see so little of Alan Rickman, Helena Bonham Carter, and company. But the main trio's acting skills have improved again, and although I still wouldn't hire them if I were to make a movie, I have to admit that they do their job all right (at least, as far as Rupert Grint and Emma Watson are concerned...). Very funny, also, to recognize their manners and mimics in the three older characters they are supposed to be impersonating.

All in all: it's not the book, but it's still magic :)",7
"This movie was pleasant to watch although as it progressed towards the end it became more and more cheesy. Can Forrest Gump be a grotesque caricature of the average ignorant and politically numb citizen that sees history passing in front of his eyes without noticing it? Is the country he lives in made for idiots? I liked the return from Vietnam and the scenes with the lieutenant. I didn't like the philosophical contemplations made by Gump as he becomes ""wise"" nor the way the movie concludes with the unnecessary death of Jenny which leaves Forrest raise his child that in turn doesn't seem to have any particular problems with that. The heroics towards the end are also incredibly far fetched. Overall it is a fun movie with some good moments but I wouldn't take it too seriously.",7
"I find Only Murders in the Building to be a fun watch. A little over the top at times but that is to be expected if you have both Steve Martin and Martin Short in the same show. It was that casting got me interested although the truth is I did not expect much so i was very pleasantly surprised.

Now lets talk about Selena. There has been a lot of criticism of her limited acting skills and her lack of screen presence. She is certainly a very famous artist for younger viewers who probably do not know the two Martins. So she would widen the viewer net.

However, casting Selena works on another level for me. Almost all the other characters in the show are almost cartoon like while Silena´s character is quite the opposite. Wooden? Maybe, but the casting works for me. I like to see her in a scene, she seems to average out the energy levels of the two male leads.",8
"I will probably get a lot of hate for saying this, but this was not the musical pleasure i had hoped for. While the plot and movie in general was great I thought they could have done so much better with the music. They replayed the same song over and over again so much it annoyed me. Yes I know it was their song and it was romantic, but it got to a line where they almost didn't care for any other song. There were a few songs, maybe 2-3 that really told a story and moved the story forward, the rest were happy pills where they danced for 10 minutes or played the same song. The story was great, I loved it, but I wish they musically could learn a thing or two from movies like Mamma Mia and Dreamgirls.",4
"I've seen 7 episodes so far. The main issue with this, is how quickly some events happen. They want to put too much information in a small amount of time and that is noticeable. Given that, i was pleasantly surprised: i followed theranos story, read the carreyrou articles and saw interviews with him, watched a whole bunch of videos... and still i can be entertained by this. They made it interesting to follow and it has a good pace. The characters could have been better developed in general, but they are fine.

Plus the cast is actually pretty good, there is great atinge in the show. It could have told the story differentwise? Maybe, but its still pretty good on explaining what happened.",7
"Really, this was the worst movie I have ever seen. It was Sci-Fi at its worst - a thoroughly impossible idea unmitigated by any shade of Well, Maybe. And it was compounded by the fun ability of the movie-makers to cut and paste the scenes in an unconnected fashion, making a whole that is absolutely incomprehensible. This isn't brilliant, it is bizarre. It isn't entertaining, because certainly if you go for entertainment and have to spend the entire 2 hours and 28 minutes figuring it out you will feel cheated and bored, not entertained. How a movie like this gets so many high ratings is a mystery and makes me worry. Will all movies go in this direction? Maybe its a cult movie, maybe that's it. There is plenty of ""action"" (read, endless fights, car chases, etc.), and the sound track is Really Loud. At one point most of the characters are for some unclear reason in the same white space-like suits with white head gear that hides their faces. You see anonymous white suits battling it out. You go from Who's who? to Who cares? in a very short time. This is a great movie to go to if you generally spend your time in the movies texting or otherwise not paying attention. Miss this one if you can.",1
The story is so simple. The director strach the story to 2 hours. I think Hollywood just dont understand the actual meaning of movie making. And i realy don't understand the how this movie win golden globe..,1
"Has been pretty mediocre. The acting is OK, the plot is not really original at all. The plot is generally the same in each episode. Something bad happens, the team can't figure it out, they begin to understand it but there's a twist, they overcome the twist and save the day just in time. Well, that was up until episode 6. That one episode had more suspense and emotion in it than all the previous 5 combined. I hope we get to see more episodes like that one and I believe that if this series is given time then that's exactly what will happen. It's also quite cool to see Agent Coulson as the ballsy leader of the group who everyone respects and obeys. In The Avengers he seemed very weak when lined up next to the superheroes and nobody really listened to him.",6
If you are a Guy Ritchie Fan no need to watch it. if you don't like to watch copies/ inspired stuff no need to watch it. If you are a fan of Rajkumar Rao then MUST watch it. He stands out in a never before role and a pretty good adaptation for an Indian movie. The movie sets out as a dark comedy and does pretty well and the individual stories are well written too. The music is slightly underwhelming but in the lockdown scenario you dont have much to do so might as well watch it.,7
"Pros - This shows compares well to Game of Thrones, and potentially with a few tweaks next season, it could even surpass them. It's a fun show and casted well. Many memorable scenes and epic adventures. Cons - The timeline in this show is not clear at all at first. The confusion could be solved by adding text that says Past, Present, and Future of the overall plot... Or next season, do away with all the time bouncing around. Finally, the series could use some better character building for the characters introduced.",8
"That movie was fun!!

It was short, funny, violent, irreverent...everything expected from a Venom movie...Tom Hardy was great as usual. The star of the show was Venom!! But Woody Harrelson came a close second..all the peripheral characters had pivotal roles as well.. Really fun..",10
"The Amazing Spider-Man has the framework to become a good movie, but misses when it comes to capitalizing on the opportunity. It's easy to tell that Andrew Garfield is a good fit for the role of Peter Parker, but an uninspiring script greatly limits what he is able to do with the role. Despite this, his charm bleeds through the screen during multiple moments as Spider-Man, particularly in the scenes where he's quipping in the car and the bridge scene.

There are so many bland plot points throughout this film. The worst of which being the unnecessary and unresolved implementation of Peter's parents. Peter's relationship with Gwen is held back with a bunch of boring banter, and Aunt May feels nonexistent throughout the film. On top of all this, Dr. Connors is the worst villain Spider-Man has ever encountered on the silver screen. A few fun moments, but a largely forgettable film.",4
Annabelle Comes Home (2019) - It is just pretty lame and boring!,3
"I was reluctant to see it, because, from the trailer, it looked like it was going to be one of those slapsticky, shame transference dramedies. But I was pleasantly surprised. For one - it's not a comedy. Has some funny moments, but not a comedy. Jeffrey Wright is a great actor, so his performances are always on par. The story had just the right amount of everything and it was masterfully crafted with very interesting and well put together characters. And the storytelling is why this film should be seen.

Still, stories like this and a premise like this have been seen before and, by the end of the film, all I could think about was Robert Altman's ""The Player"".",8
"I'll be quick here. Watch this. It's a mix of death note and squid game But it's unique in its own way. I wasn't hooked after the first episode I will say that, but by the 3rd I was completely hooked.

It only gets better.",10
"I simply cannot believe that anyone would after the ludicrous episode 2 think this was anything but another example of how badly BBC does drama these days. A real dogs breakfast with the main flaws being in the plot - or doesn't that matter any more. I'm afraid that 's it for me. I cannot stand David saying ""yes Ma'am "" any more",1
"The biggest problem this movie has is the following: it's been made for the audiences younger than twenty, but heavily relies on culture elements many in that age group won't be able to understand or notice. Acting, characters and story are forgettable - overall, they lack that characteristic Steven Spielberg charm. I didn't get drawn into the movie, didn't feel as the part of the adventure.

Of course, there is some romance, but it's been done rather superficially, not surprisingly since there lacks the character development. It seems to me that story writers couldn't figure out which characters to put emphasis on and develop more fully since OASIS and real world are on screen alternately. Visual effects are among the best I've seen.

If you only want to see a two hour adventure without expecting any level of sophistication, go and check it out, especially if you have 4DX cinema near you.",6
"On the up side, this film had some magnificent sets, gorgeous costumes, and the story had some great moments. Aishwarya Rai puts in a great performance. Surprisingly, the scene stealer is the underutilized Sonu Sood who reminds me of a young Amitabh Bachan. Sadly, it ends there.

On the down side is everything else. The movie was supposed to be an epic but the only thing it had resembling an epic was its length. In Jodhaa-Akbar it seems like the extras were over worked and underpaid. They were hardly moving in the backgrounds and the camera/director seemed preoccupied with individual fights. I guess the extras thought that with the camera so far away, they would never make it into the frame. I wish that had been true.

Now I said the sets and costumes were terrific but the cinematography fails them. I went out of my way to find out the cinematographer was Kiran Deohans. The rest of the cast and crew undoubtedly have a long career ahead of them but Mr. Deohans' career might come to an abrupt halt after this film. This is an epic and the audience needs to ""see"" this film as an epic. The camera moves too slowly, sits too still, and those great costumes and sets don't get the treatment they deserve.

The story was quite shallow. You would think the Emperor and Empress of the Mughal Empire would get a story befitting them, but not here. The twists and turns are utterly predictable. The narrative and characters lacked depth. Hrithik and Aishwarya have little or no chemistry between them. I felt like they had more chemistry in Dhoom 2, a film I thoroughly hated and gave zero stars. If them two of them finally come to love each other, why does it look like they're faking it? An epic needs to be long and this film has the length to prove itself as one. But the pacing in this film is painfully slow. Let me explain, there's a difference between a film being too long and a film moving too slowly; Jodhaa-Akbar is the latter. The dialogue needs to be more rapid, the scenes need to be trimmed down. I don't mean to keep mentioning Dhoom 2, but one of the things I hated is how every time Hrithik was on screen the film would go into slow motion. Here, they're in regular motion but it still feels like slow-mo. It's not a good sign when you're looking at your watch and wondering when is the movie going to end.

As much as it hurts for me to write this, one of the film's biggest draw backs is Hrithik Roshan in the role of Mohammad Jalaluddin. Hrithik's performance is inconsistent and quite unrefined. Inconsistent because I felt like I was watching Hrithik play several different characters in the film. It was never the same Akbar from the first scene. I don't think this was a result of the character growing because like I said; there really is no growth after his marriage to Jodhaa or any character for that matter. Keep in mind that inconsistency is really not the actor, it's the director. It's the director's job to keep make sure the performances are everything they need to be and really visualize the look and feel of the film. The director has to keep his or her eye on the ball and in a film this large, it's understandable why they might lose sight but that's no excuse. So this isn't a minus for Hrithik as much as it is for Ashutosh Gowariker. A writer at the Hindustan Times, Mohammed Khalil said Gowariker has miscalculated the technical and emotional content and I think he's absolutely right. Now I say the performance is unrefined because of the lack of character in the character (yes, I know that one hurt). I just didn't see a Mughal Emperor when I looked at Hrithik. Instead what I saw was a Bollywood heart throb/poster boy who hasn't matured enough as a performer to pull off this kind of a role. I still think he has all the potential in the world, no doubt. He gave a very memorable performance in Koi Mil Gaya but this is no Koi Mil Gaya.

Hrithik's biggest flaw is something he has little control over; his looks. Truth be told, Hrithik is just too feminine to portray a character that's supposed to be the embodiment of authority and masculinity. His physique is top notch but it's hard to take someone seriously when they have green eyes. His soft image is what prevents him from properly playing the all powerful Emperor and calculating army commander. There is something that could be said about Hrithik's physical presence in the film though. I'm not giving away any spoilers like I promised. There is a scene in the film where the gate to the palace opens and Hrithik is standing on the other side. It's a long shot and there is no light near Hrithik, all we see is a silhouette. He then screams at Jodhaa. I swear the combination of the sound of his voice and physical presence; I thought he was going to kill everyone in his path. Suddenly we get a close up as he steps into the light and the green eyes melt away the coldness; I heard an aunty in the row behind me say, ""Awww, Rohit!"" So like Aishwarya, Hrithik handles the confrontational scenes with a wonderful subtle intensity but his good and somewhat girly looks are what bury his performance.",4
"Yes, thats what I felt after finishing this movie.. No story movie, but watched it. And since no story here, no one can write a spoiler review for this movie. I tried to understand to my best, but failed and yes it may be good for 60s hollywood lovers with some added sugar at the end. DiCaprio acting was too good, Brad Pitt was very good as well and were the only watchable throughout till end. I was waiting for the story to begin till 15 mins to end... the story somehow kicked off to finish off. Oh... got it! Is it that ""Rick Dalton"" needed that 15 mins chaos to get to meet his neighbour? Thats all the story about? 161mins are too long for that. Anyways, watched it for DiCaprio and Brad Pitt and all the stars on my rating goes to them.",3

"FAIR WARNING TO MOVIE PRODUCERS:After viewing several 3D films it's pretty obvious there is only 1 director who's using the medium in an interesting or innovative way. So unless the name ""James Cameron"" appears in the credits, don't expect my extra $4 for a ticket.

Thor is a competently made comic book movie, a la Daredevil or Elektra. There are 4 or 5 funny lines in the workmanlike script. And none of the actors, who include 2 Oscar winners, embarrasses themselves. But despite the fact it made a lot of money, I doubt if we'll see a sequel. There's simply nothing very interesting going on here to warrant one. Thor is a one-shot view for people trying to fill in their Marvel Comics movie list.",4

The light and L were superb and makes this series interesting.the ending is superb and gives the valuable lesson. I recommend this series to everyone who want to watch anime with so much twist and turns. I am sure that those who are movie fans will also like this anime a lot. I give 9 star for this great anime.",9
"Okay, so I'm 30 years late seeing Taxi Driver for the first time. But I find that I didn't miss much. Aside from watching Robert DeNiro in his first role, I thought there wasn't much to like in this movie --and I'm not just talking about the violence. The ""romance"" between DeNiro's character and Cybill Shepard's sleek young professional is improbable to the nth degree, and even a clueless shmuck like DeNiro wouldn't be stupid enough to take a high class girl to a porno film on his first date. I suppose the viewer is expected to infer the reasons for every other unexplained development in the movie: DeNiro's purchase of an arsenal of weapons larger than some U.S. units are equipped with in Iraq, his sudden urge to rescue Jodie Foster's child prostitute, the approach to the candidate for president (couldn't get close enough to kill him, I guess), the final scene driving Cybill Shepard's character in his taxi (a dream sequence while he's still in the hospital or after he's died?), the letter of thanks from the parents of the child prostitute (also a dream sequence? also after he's died?). Frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn. As for the direction, if Scorcese hadn't done better work than this, he'd be an obscure footnote. I expected to like this movie a lot more than I did.",5
"""Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"" follows our heroes Harry, Ron, and Hermione, as they set out to find the seven objects, known as Horcruxes in the film, that will evidently destroy the evil Voldermort. It is a extremely difficult task since not only are they hidden in unknown places, but also the knowledge on how to destroy them is unknown too. There is also one more person who faces an extremely difficult task too, director David Yates. Can he possibly make a Potter movie that not only takes place out of the familiar Hogwarts and is much more dramatic still lovable to J.K. Rowling's fans? David Yates has surpassed Christopher Columbus in terms of handling the reigns with the popular series. Columbus up until now was the only one who directed more than one Potter film. The third film (Azakaban) was directed by Alfanso Cauron and the fourth (Goblet) was directed by Mike Newell. Yates, then came in and handled the fifth (Order), sixth (Half-Blood Prince), and finally this film, that has been split into two parts. The reasoning being because nothing is being cut out of the this time around. Fans rejoiced when they found out they would be getting a five hour conclusion to their beloved series. Yates has said to have brought out the maturity in the series that it needed. Under his eye, the films definitely have more of an adult feel to them. Signs of the change were present the second ""Order of Phoenix"" started with Potter's evil cousin, Dudley, finally got what was coming to him. Even before Dudley came face to face with one of the most feared inhabitants of the wizarding world, you could sense something terrible was bound to happen. Yates perfectly nailed the sense of dreariness through the flushed out colors and perfectly placed camera angles. Then in ""The Half Blood Prince"" he created a very sympathetic character out of Horace Slughorn, with the help of Jim Broadbeant. Here, he keeps the same gift for creating dread and despair. One of the first scenes in the film, a poor ex-teacher at Hogwarts, hangs in the air while Voldermort's crew discusses their next move. We know, as does she, it is just a matter of time before she bites the dust. It is detail like this that make these films establish the dark tone that Yates is going for.

Before I make the poor guy seem like a one-dimensional director, I will point out some of the other strong points that he possesses as a director. There are some scenes of thrilling action and creativity that are just a sight to see. When Harry, Ron, and Hermione, must infiltrate the Ministry of Magic, they drink the physical form changing Poly Juice Potion, to turn into awkward adults. This scene is a joy to watch because it is adventurous and quite comical. Another scene is when Hermione tells a wizard fairy tale. I won't go into detail about it, but it shows how much these films have taken an identity of their own. An identity that we will only get to enjoy for only 150 minutes more.

Grade= B",7
First of all look at there attempt of shaming people against them. For most it a lame movie full of Nepotism and shameless putting there agenda against the government. Now a days they think they can change people prospective by shaming government but it show how successful they are by election results. No one give a dam what they say . Also if Aranb is sitting on the laps of government it is imminent that they are sitting ok the laps of anti nationalist elements. People will decide whom to follow. This way the support for government only grows stronger because people are not low minded as they are.,1
"A great movie to watch and great acting by De Niro as a young don but al Pacino steals the show with his great acting. Good storyline, screenplay and beautiful locations. A great masterpiece",10
"Season 1 was good! It had heart and hit some really strong notes with topics that they treated delicately and with respect. Season 2 takes a huge dump on season 1. It is as if the people making season 2 never really watched the first season, or at least didn't get what it was about. Season 2 shows no kind of respect for the preceding season but adds so much that does not make sense, or that alters some of the strongest points and moments in season 1.

Someone wrote a review with the headline ""Season 2 ruined it"". I cannot but agree. I could have accepted a second season that does not live up to the standards set in the first, but a second season that not only is bad but makes the first season bad as well is totally unacceptable.

So watch the first season, but for God's sake, do not watch this big smelly number two!",2
"This film is probably one of those art films where only a certain set of the audience would get to understand & extract the message out of this film.

The film takes us on a journey to an island where there are many hidden layers and meanings that one could relate backward after having watched the film, in other words, the film is made so abstractly that one could relate & derive any kinda meaning out of the sequences in this film and if you're someone who likes to formulate your own meaning out of the sequences shown in a series of scenes, then this film would certainly be a treat for you otherwise it is better to avoid it since it'd cause more headache than entertaining you.

Abstraction to some extent is acceptable but this level of abstraction where you just have to think about the meaning of everything is something that doesn't work for me and the plot of the film itself isn't so connectable or doesn't have much of an impact overall or maybe I'm not capable enough to receive those messages but overall, this film is not something that I'd consider rewatching even just for the sake of understanding as it made no impact at all. The latest/best ever abstract film that was ever made recently was 'The Platform', that's the kinda film that I'd like to rewatch but not this one.",4
"The movies was very entertaining and action-packed, but the story had no substance and the ending was horrible. Don't waste your time..",1
"The sequence, acting and the overall character sync was superb. AD is at his best again after Drishyam..",8
This movie revolves around the surgical strikes that happened in a surgical attack at Uri.This movie is for families who are in army or related to army in any sense.Only they can have the feelings in this movie and i must say its captured beautifully.Added to this factor is the musical background which has suspense in it. All the characters have shown the army behaviour and tricks in a stunning manner.,6
"This was good fun. I must admit I was surprised to see this had an 8.3 rating while writing this review. It's not most peoples idea of a good TV show. It is mine though and plenty of others too by the look of it.

It's reality TV, but not the dross that get churned out on a daily basis. Ronald is called for jury duty. He thinks a documentary is being made on the process, hence a valid reason for the cameras to be there. What is actually happening is a fake trial full of actors.

I was surprised to see James Marsden as one of the jury. What a man he is for doing this. His whole role was to poke fun at himself and he didn't shy away from it.

The real star though is Ronald. He handles everything thrown at him brilliantly. A lovely guy.

If you want a bit of silly escapism then you're gonna love this. If you prefer to take life very seriously then give it a miss!",8
"I wasn't the greatest fan of Loki Season 1. Don't get me wrong, it was solid but to me it was ok, nothing more (after season 2 I'll have to rewatch Season 1 to see if my opinion changes).

For Season 2 I read that some peepz didn't like that Loki wasn't being the mischievous Loki anymore, and it's a fair point, but the writing does address why that is (and to be honest, only Thor knows how to bring that side of Loki out).

The first few episodes of Season 2 were slow and I was honestly thinking Season 2 was gonna be a dud, but man, after watching the entire season, Loki 2 really hit it out tha park and ended on the perfect note! Production, writing, acting, everything was top notch!

Also wasn't really expecting Jonathan Majors back in the fold but his presence as ""Victor Timely"" and ""He who Remains"" just brings another level to the whole story. Some people just got that spark and he (along with Tom Hiddleston) definitely got it going on, and if Marvel intends to continue with the Kang storyline, they need to keep him and not replace him with another actor.

Excellent job Marvel! I just wish other MCU projects would hire producers and writers (especially writers) who evidently love their craft, as well as the subject matter, and let them operate without rewriting everything last minute. Presently, for TV (nowadays some might also say for movies) Loki is the best the MCU has to offer. Great Job! Looking forward to Season 3!",9
"If you want a plot go watch the Shawshank redemption. This is an action movie and for its made of, it's pretty good. So if you want a good action movie this is it. If you want a plot go watch a drama.",7
"I fast forwarded through 3/4 of this movie, which I hardly ever do. The start had some promise, but it soon became one uninspired gore-fest in which all you do as a viewer is wonder who dies next. I understand the idea of a raw movie, but in the X-men context this was just an empty shell without any values or any factor that really swept you along. And what a waste of talent for one of my favorites, Patrick Stewart. And the ending just leaves you thinking 'What... that was it?...' I actually had to laugh a little. Glad I skipped though it, otherwise the waste of time would've been bigger.",1
"Movie seemed to me very boring, banal and predictable. The story unfolds very slowly without any exciting turns. The soundtrack is disgusting. There are better movies created by the director.",6
"Just one word...""""""!!Masterpiec... 😘😘!!!!!!!!!!!!",10
"This is one of the Marvel's good movies. But it lacks in some points. As usual we are expecting a huge action and a deadliest villain entry, but this time seems Marvel has failed to bring a great villain. Just like Loki & Altron this character seems like not that great. If you thing of joining a side of the two team I mean team Cap or team Tony Stark then you must be amazed by your decision but after watching the movie. Every character has played their specialty in this movie.

Sometimes except starting felt little boring but some immediate action makes thrill & shout you loudly. The new entry of Spidy & Black Panther definitely played their specialty. Falcon has seriously well equipped. I loved the drones used by Falcon. But the action in the Airport & last few minutes make you say waoo.",9
"The best detective series out there. The script is great, plot is great, acting is superb, the whole show is almost perfect. Every episode was fine except for the last episode of series 4, which I didn't really like and felt that it could have been done better.",9
So funny and mysterious! Very entertaining...my husband and I were glued to it!,10
"Soooooo...you had a producer or a writer that loves horses eh? Some writers who have been smoking of that medical good good, and like, ""Hey, you know what we can use for a framing in the plot of the new Lost in Space!? Days of Our Lives!!"" ""Genius."" ""Also....Horses! Yeah, horses on some weird planet...cuz... they're like, settlers man, like the old west, man!"" ""Genius.""
actual excerpt from Hollywood.
Oh....you want to know if it's a good series? Well, I binge watched it, like the coddled masses of streaming sheep, talking to the screen, as if Netflix/the Director, can hear me, asking them, ""why...why on Earth would you do that!?"" So.... that's fun, but yeah 1st season thumbs up....second season...soapy, but watchable...wine helps.",6
"""You're only as healthy as you feel.""

My favorite thing about the movie is the cinematography in all honesty, which is absolutely magnificent. But I wasn't much a fan of the rest. At first I thought, great, a taxi driver that despises his environment and the society he lives in. I was ready for the social commentary and the feeling of alienation. But I was disappointed? The pace was far too slow. There are too many filler and pointless scenes in this movie it's actually painful. I really wanted to love this movie, but I couldn't because of how little engaging it actually is.

I really enjoyed the social commentary at the end of the movie though. I just think the commentary could've been stronger throughout the movie instead of all these filler scenes.",6
More like Avengers EndMyLife because jeez this film is overrated. It's just special effects.,3
"This film is a gem, one you won't hear off till the trailer and then be shocked how good it is, the amount of Australian shows and films I've watched that have been absolute genius is astounding this is just the perfect horror.

It's a film that feels like it could easily manifest into a franchise and potentially leads that way but for the first time in so long I left desperately hoping there's more of these, there are not many horrors this well thought out and acted.

I don't mean to be singular focused here the cast are great but Sophie Wilde, what a performance, absolutely captivating, she's beautiful, she looks of African heritage but has beautiful features and expressions and her acting is just flawless, I love horror and I can't recall a better single performance.

The story is great, it feels real, possible although ridiculous, no loose threads, everything is so perfectly wrapped up, there's one seen that was so brutal it even made me gasp.

Perfection.",10
"Perfectly written, perfectly cast, perfectly acted, this is one of the best works of cinematic art of all time. Each scene is artfully composed, the actors' performances are subtle, powerful and evoke far more than than their words alone convey. The tongue-in-cheek but so-serious performances are dead-on. I have seen this film at least a dozen times and never tire of it; in fact, I appreciate it more each time I see it. Its economy of dialog, composition, and plot is the soul of this wonderful piece. A fresh plot, the artful placement of the spare and haunting musical score, the stark cinematography, masterful directing and first-rate performances make this one a real winner!",10
"Read the books, played witcher 3, even play gwent.

Pros this series is absolutely beautiful, great action scenes, henry cavill steals the show. Acting for the most part in my opinion is very well done. Setting and wardrobe is spot on apart from the nilfgaardian armor in s1.

Cons: as an avid fan of the books, they just strayed way to much to the point you can feel that they have their own agenda. Not overtly, but its there. I understand you cant fit in everything, but they drastically changed so many solid plot lines for no real purpose other than their own. So many relationships that never existed.. so many important characters in the series that dont exist in an already solid book series.

Overall they took an amazing story and changed it to fit the big narrative of 2021. Big surprise. Just had so much potential.",5
"This is my favorite Indian production of all time. The sweep beauty of historical filming locations transports the viewer to another time. Akbar's unification of India and the peaceful coexistence of two religions under his rule is inspiring and much needed in these troubled times. (not historically accurate but it is a movie after all)

Overlying palace intrigue and low budget battle scenes is the love story between the emperor and his beautiful and strong willed Hindu queen. Three and a half hours went by in a flash, even on repeated viewings.",8
The best tv show that was ever made. I have watched every episode and every season so so many times. And lately I have started watching it again starting with season 1.,10
"This movie is so phony and dishonest compared to Waititi's early/New Zealand stuff. It's just a horrible Wes Anderson knock off that takes itself way too seriously. You can tell everyone involved probably couldn't stop telling one another how ""important"" it was to make. Another victim of hollywood's asskissing fest. Waititi is being told(for your consideration/oscar campaign) that this is his best work, when it's his worst. I imagine he's on the downward path to hackville, as the money and accolades roll in. The harder fought battles were far more interersting. You cant be cute and political. Anti-Tarantino.",4
"I mean it's like hollywood sees a clever, well made movie and they just kill the name it once had with a mediocre sequel. Films being made nowadays trying to push PC culture instead of trying to make something great. Please just stop. I loved knives out and this is like a sad spoof of the original. This is forced and spends to much time trying to win awards and critics approval that it absolutely yields a half witty, false progressive and a sad attempt to do what it did before. I love you Rian Johnson but you have Benoit Blanc playing Among Us for a cheap laugh. Just make good movies. Don't ruin knives out.",5
the all-time #2 is WAY high for this flick. NO great acting performances(they're OK but not a miracle!!!!) the story lacks logic in parts and the final sequence is a little too much. very good movie to watch a must see anytime but NOT all-time #2,5
"Maybe it's because we know the race result, so the suspense isnt really there. Some good cinematography but the race sequences are so repetitive.",5
"We watched every episode the first 4 years. It was a great show, exciting, always seemed to have some sort of a twist and we could not wait until the next episode. After awhile I could see the the writers were running out of ideas. The storylines became different and not in a good way. Not sure how to describe it. The characters seemed to be getting more ridiculous every week. It was time to end it and when they did.......it just seemed to slip away quietly.",6
"Several years after the Na'vi repelled the RDA invasion Jake Sully and his family are living on Pandora. Things seem peaceful but the RDA has other plans, invading and capturing Pandora. Sully forms a guerrilla group to try to expel the invaders.

The first Avatar, released in 2009, was visually stunning but had a very weak plot. The story was basic, cheesy and predictable, like it was meant for kids. Characters were hardly developed at all, so you have very little empathy for them. Making it even worse, the film was massively padded, with several scenes adding nothing except to the running time which clocks in at an insomnia-curing 160 minutes.

Avatar: The Way of Water is more of the same. Great special effects, weak, cheesy story, one-dimensional characters. Running time is even more excessive, clocking in at 192 minutes due to a plot that just drifts for an eternity in the middle section. Director James Cameron could easily have cut an hour out of the film without subtracting from the story (what there is). But then he would have less time to show off his CGI skills, wouldn't he?",4
"I don't know why this show has such a low rating. It is a well made and well acted series. It was a little overwhelming as we are used to see one case running at a time, but here along with the main case, there are multiple small cases going on, which were not shown in depth and did lead to a little confusion to me. I think the pacing could have been a little slow.

All the characters have a well made arch and I am happy that after a long time Kajol got to showcase what she is capable of. Her face is an art and her acting is top notch. Waiting for season 2 but I hope it doesn't stretch further than season2, as I don't like long running series.",7
I think it's just a comedy movie. Cg and visual effect are so different from the last movie(Aquaman).and the story is going very slow.,3
"In 2022, it is wrong to disparage people for their skin color, where they live, or their economic status. UNLESS it's making fun of poor white people in trailer parks. Then it's fine. They have too many guns, they live in Winnebagos and drives their houses around, they are ""hicks"" (the word the show decided to use); basically all the ignorant stereotypes are offered up. Too bad, it was a good series until it became hateful towards certain groups.",7
Lots of action but fell flat. It was watchable just not exciting. Didnt hold my attention no matter how much CGI they used and it was a lot...,5
"I understand that this film is supposed to be a ""dark comedy"" of sorts, but I apparently didn't get the joke. Yes, Ralph Fiennes is a fine actor, but his Chef Slowik was a completely unlikeable person who's ultimate goal made no sense to me. Actually, nobody in this film was likeable, yet none were so disagreeable that I wanted to see them done away with or harmed. I liked Anya Taylor-Joy, the pretty girl who played Margot, but her performance wasn't near enough to save this one for me. When this movie finally ended I felt as if I'd thrown away an hour-and-a-half of my life that I will sadly never get back.",3
"I'm really gonna miss this show. A dark, stylish, brutal and mind-shattering edge of your seat thriller. A 10/10 for me.",10
"After the fiasco of The Nun, I was about to lose all hope in the Conjuring Universe but this one pleasantly surprised me. Enough to watch their next film.

A small time plot where everything happens in one house with a bunch of children running around trying to fix the mess they made. Good blend of Suspense and Jump scares with occasional creativity.

What surprised me most is the solid performance by Judy and the humor aspect of this film which was highly enjoyable. Fans of the franchise and horror casuals will like this one. Horror veterans can pass on it.

#moviesshmovies on Instagram for more reviews",6
"reading the other reviews here its hard to conceive that I watched the same movie everyone is gushing about. the central premise is hardly noble although perhaps quite the likely selfish outcome i.e. after trashing this planet lets go trash some others. the black hole visualizations were quite lame. this is not a great sci-fi film even remotely in the league of 2001 although a cursory superficial viewing might suggest so to an unthinking non-sci-fi buff. a great scifi film would naturally start by 1st adapting a great scifi story. these are yet to be made such as ringworld, dyson spheres and fleet of worlds concepts. to think that all these mind boggling stories exist yet this rather old and tired story concept is chosen to lavish money on is strange, although it is somewhat understandable as the afore-mentioned stories would be much greater challenges all around and so its best that they are ignored rather than poorly realized as this primarily propaganda piece.",1
The first and the second season are the essence of this show idk why they've introduced a new character all of a sudden,7
"After watching all 7 episodes, it hurts to feel like I've wasted 7hrs of my life. Loved the main cast, but the storyline was downright miserable.

Episode 1. Very slow, but gave it a chance for character build.

Episode 2. Held my interest and couldn't wait for the next episode!

Episode 3-4-5. Completely useless until the last 10m of episode 5.

Episode 6. Did not get any better.

Episode 7. Couldn't wait until it was finally over.

They could've done so much better with this story but instead, they threw in too many figments to try and keep you on the edge of your seat. For me, it just didn't work.",3
"Very well directed,acted must see movie!!! We need more movies like this.",9
"Barbie was by far one of the best movies i've watched in 2023. From the acting to the costumes, it was all just so amazing. I have no words to express how i feel after watching Barbie. It had to much emotion built into it. Margot Robbie had such a speechless performance. Greta Grewig is the writer and director that can make a movie that has so much emotional value and meaning. It gives you a look into being a woman and the struggles but also about finding who you are as a person. I enjoyed this movie like no other it was hilarious and an emotional rollercoaster. I hope we can see a sequel to Barbie. The movie deserves all the love. Go watch it now!!!",10
"I dont really understand how this title can be rated so high frankly... Story developed at a high pace. Nothing new. Even the not new is kinda boring and unimpressive. It has significant plot holes. The main protagonists turn into some kind of weird teenage lovers. The powers are meh. All ""Creatures"" are totally unimpressive. They've portrayed vampires as some sort of scavenging weaklings that just happen to be rich... but sometimes move fast... The story forces itself upon you in a similar way some of the protagonists in the series force themselves on the side characters.... Its really overall a watered down romantic flick.... 8.1 ??? really? I wonder if these are real votes to be honest....",1
"I wanted to like this movie but, after all the hyperbole and accolades heaped upon it, it failed to deliver.

The plot is thin and no amount of stunning cinematography can fill in the gaps. The absurdity of sending two junior NCO's on this mission when aircraft, passenger pigeons and the good old telegraph could have easily warned the 2nd of the trap cannot be explained. The incident with the German airman left me shaking my head as the flyers of the day were notoriously civil in captivity.

I wish there were more WW 1 movies to compare this with but, if you have an hour or two, watch, ""All Quiet on the Western Front"" with Ernest Borgnine and a young Richard Thomas and ""Paths of Glory"" with an amazing performance by Kirk Douglas.

That is all...",5
"Open up that Shazam can, without involving any other hero of it's originally storyline, is the poorest, DC could've done to Shazam. The character has not enough background for a stand alone implementation.",5
"I'm absolutely in love with this series. I am partial to anything related to the supernatural but this series is so much more. The romance is an added plus, you can see how the main characters are drawn together and though they try to deny it, the moment they give in is acted out beautifully. I have read the books and there are definitely some differences but I like the adaptation.",10
"Some people might assume that this show is aimed at kids but it really has a broad audience. With themes like grief and abandonment this cartoon never disappoints. All the characters have their own arcs they go through during the show. Zuko's is particularly fantastic. The world they live in is so carefully thought out; the different bending styles, the different nations and how they're ruled etc. As well as that the animation is stunningly adapted to the beautiful crafted fight sequences. This cartoon balances comedy and action perfectly. I lost count of how many times I've watched it. Every single episode is like its own little masterpiece. Heck, even the animals are memorable! I'd also like to give an honorable mention do uncle iroh who is such a wise and comforting character. I fully recommend this show to any person of any age. This show shaped me as a person and I can't wait to rewatch it again.",10
"Spidey faces a crisis of confidence and is up against Dr. Octopus. Stars Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and Alfred Molina.

Great villain and some good CGI. Not a bad plot. Decent Spidey flick.",7
"I actually enjoyed season one I know lots of reviews where meh but it was a hit with audiences and I can see why. Season one was a little confusing at times but it was faded paced good action , good story and enjoyable characters. Now season 2 was a big letdown that I dunno if I will watch season 3. Season 2 drags on and on and there's not much a a point to it you can skip the first 5 episodes and really nothing happens. I get shows have to have stores and they can't be all actions which I respect but it has to be done right. Also the quality in season 2 is weak for special effects and at times funny. Will I watch season 3 I still don't know but i do hope it improves.",5
"The movie would be descent if it wasn't 3 hours long! Found myself and my friend begging for the ending so we could walk out the theater as we were somewhere in the middle of the row. I love the concept but I think it's too linear - no major twists in the story that could come from nowhere, everything is so predictable and could be packed in a maximum of 100 minutes. Also, the soundtrack was killing me throughout the whole movie. Too sad and without energy, not moving enough. I think that the soundtrack was there to kill any thrill you could enjoy watching this film. The animations are 10/10 but overall I was glad when I finally got out the theater. So - 1/10 is my final verdict.",1
She is playing this goofy and likeable character. But I just find her kind of annoying. The movie is also kind of boring.,3
"I love great stories about witches, vampires and demons, and this has it all, suspense, great acting, great story, great action, and it almost had me fooled until season one, episode 5 where there is some flying... then the spell broke! The special effects has no budget, or is made by a 12 year old! I hope it gets better in season 2.",8
"I would like to write a review for this masterpiece film. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is a great movie. Here the characters find themselves in a completely new, unfamiliar environment. They get out of various dangerous situations with the help of their ingenuity and magic. Romance is developing more and more in the series. Some turns came as a big surprise to me. The eaters are becoming more dangerous and the main characters face many dangers. We see a lot of references and past characters. In general, the film is very good!",10
I was expecting more from it but it was okay. Not So bad but not good either. It lack's good story else it would have been great.,6
"There's no denying that I am a fan of Stephen Chow's style of comedy. Kung Fu Hustle has that perfect tone of a spoof film, and knows exactly how to use certain tropes of the genre it is parodying in order to create humor. I love the exaggerated way that kung fu works in this film, and how the most unexpected people or items can be dangerous. It's amplified to such a level that at times it feels like a live-action cartoon, and for me that is always good for a laugh. When I sit and watch a movie at home by myself, even a solid joke can struggle to get much more than a chuckle from me, but Kung Fu Hustle had me laughing out loud consistently. The other thing that Stephen Chow understands, is that even the best comedy needs plot and structure. There is a solid story in this film with genuine stakes, heroes and villains, and all the other hallmarks of a good narrative. I also appreciate his casting choices, because he doesn't go with all the obvious actors for each role, and allows for some unexpected heroes.

I must admit, though, that Kung Fu Hustle contains one of my biggest pet peeves about movies. I always struggle when there are people in a story with seemingly limitless powers, or at least power that doesn't appear to adhere to any set of rules. While it's good for some comedic effect, I never get a feel for what move is more powerful than another. The final fight keeps escalating to a point that it feels like there is never a satisfying conclusion, because they both seem to recover from even the most devastating blows. I know it's supposed to be silly and over-the-top, so I didn't get that annoyed by this aspect, but it is a tad unclear when the fight will truly end and someone will win. My only other nitpick with Kung Fu Hustle was how late they brought the main character into his heroic role. His redemption arc starts so far into the movie that it barely feels earned. These are quibbles with an otherwise amazingly enjoyable film. I might not find Kung Fu Hustle perfect, but any movie that entertains me this much is one I'll watch again any time.",8
"I'm a fan of the Potter-books so I had been keenly anticipating The Crimes of Grindelwald. For me, the first two Potter-films were the ones that caught the atmosphere of the novels the best, and I really appreciate Cuaron's the Prisoner of Azkaban too. After that it was a bit of a downhill with the films, although they all were solid entries. The first film of the Fantastic Beasts -series was a big surprise: Rowling's first movie-screenplay was an original, fun and sweet outing that really took it's time with everything, I felt it was a very novel-like script but at the same time with great understanding of what makes a movie work. But on to the Crimes of Grindelwald...

The Fantastic Beasts -series follows Newt Scamander, an expert of magical creatures, who was mentioned in the Harry Potter novels as the author of a Hogwarts' school book ""Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"". The series takes place in Rowling's wizarding world, way before Harry Potter's time, in a time where Gellert Grindelwald, a dark wizard who was also mentioned in the Potter-novels, is causing havoc. The Crimes of Grindelwald immediately puts pedal to the metal with an ultra-fast escape-scene. The film is altogether faster paced and more straightforward than the first film, and it's even more clearly a part of a series (three more films incoming). Involvement of a prophecy is also a very familiar element in the world we're exploring. I enjoyed the film and had a great time watching it with a fellow fan. Having said that, the first film is, to me, considerably better as an individual film, and I can see many who don't have deeper knowledge of the story seeing the Crimes of Grindelwald only as another fantasy-actioner. The screenplay is also a tad hard to fully understand, I'm still trying to put all the pieces together. Complicated plans are not unfamiliar in the books either.

Some pros for me:

-The prologue -Deeper look into the Lestrange family -Jude Law's young Dumbledore -The Niffler and it's involvement in the third act",6
"As a woman and a feminist I was disappointed by this. The actors were great - Margot and Ryan doing their best - but they can only work what they're given and the ""story"" was wafer thin and made no sense. This would have been OK if it was a movie aimed at kids but it wasn't and I would imagine children would be bored even quicker than I was. It's lovely to look at, the clothes and sets replicating the Barbie world so beautifully but it's very much style over substance and the jokes are laboured and repetitive. If it was just a lighthearted giggle for the girls I would have enjoyed it more but the second half is full of dreary speeches and millisecond cameos (Rob Brydon) that added nothing but a nod to the cleverness of the directors research skills.",5
I can see why there are so many opposite reviews. Perfect entertaining movie with heaps of action and jokes. The flow is a bit weird but overall it is not that bad.,7
"I went into this anticipating a decent enough action movie with a few laughs...

How did it manage to fall flat?

Fast camera, a bit chaotic at times, just enough that the plot dwindles in and out. No opportunity to get interested in the story.

Good job Ryan.",4
"I Watched a few webseries, but nothing felt this much genuine, It felt sad that it ended on season 7, I hope the officials will carry over next seasons..... Honestly saying this webseries have Life in it.",10
"I'm an idiot. I pretty much avoided this show from the beginning....for no good reason. The only poor excuse i can grasp at, is that i thought I wouldn't like the show because the main characters were young children. Saying that makes me look like an idiot though because I loved The Goonies, and The Sandlot (and I still love them and have re-watched them very recently).

Had some free time recently, and saw some talk on the internet about the new season (Season 4) so I decided to give it a shot. I binged all 4 seasons in about a week, and as you can see from my rating, I freaking loved it and regret not watching it sooner.

The whole thing reeks of 1980s....the music, clothing..everything! It's GREAT, and it's so nostalgic it hurts! (i was born in the mid 80s).












If I were to rank the seasons.... i think season 4 has been my favorite so far (and i think it's the one that has had me the most emotional)

#1 Season 4

#2 Season 1

#3 Season 3

#4 Season 2.",9
"Never read the books but love it can't wait for the next episode hope it continues to the end and not leave us hanging . Just can't get enough of it , like all the characters. Supper duper serial .Must Watch!",9
"last night I attended a special screening of this movie. While I laughed heartily throughout the movie, I did find myself pondering why I wasn't completely immersed in a guttural laughathon.

When I returned home I actually started to feel a little depressed and then it hit me . . . Forgetting Sarah Marshall is equal parts drama as it is comedy. Jason Segel has created a character and a story that are masquerading as typical Hollywood farcical romantic comedy fare but in reality are so honest and relatable that when you walk out the theater door, you can't just brush it off with a gesture of ""that was cute"" or ""if only life were just like that."" Because life IS just like that. And if Sarah Marshall teaches us anything - it's that despite the confusions and frustrations and heartbreak in life - we should all take it a little more lightly, focus on the positive and open ourselves up to new experiences.

Thank god for the return of smart, involving yet fun movies. Kudos to the filmmakers",10
"The pilot of the 'Last of Us' is one of the best pilots I've ever watched. It is a seriously exciting, terrifying and emotional episode of television.

The world presented here is fascinating and feels authentic as a post apocalyptic society.

I feel this series had so many interesting paths it COULD have taken.

The first few episodes set the perfect scene. Some felt episode 3 'Long, long time' derailed the series but I personally loved it. It was 'real life' inside this new world. It was a beautiful love letter to human relationships.

However, as the series went on, I felt the episodes were rushed.

The dialogue was cheesy at times. The characters and the relationships weren't developed enough.

The action fell away and the focus became telling too many half hearted stories.

The penultimate episode was well paced and the performances were excellent but in the end I'm left unsatisfied by the finale.

I have hopes for season 2 and won't give up watching yet!",7
"Has modern social media poisoned us all? Judging by previous reviews, the first impulse seems to be a hatred for anything up for critique. I actually expected disappointment based on a ""professional review"", but after a shaky first script, the writing improved, and I became a fan of the new Lost in Space.

I loved the artistry and care taken for the scenery and the realistic ""new life forms -- mainly the bugs and plant life. (""Scary monsters"" suffered from weak animation but insects were very credible).

There are adjustments to be made as with all reboots of my childhood favorites. I had to overlook the ""robot re-imagining"" and the modern tendency to put women in charge of everything. (""It's tough to be a man, baby,"" said the late Freddie Prinze). But I really appreciated the straight Sci-Fi approach. It reminded me of original Star Trek, where problems were solved by actual scientific possibilities. No cheap laughs or slapstick -- as in many modern reboots (J.J.'s Star Trek).

This version of Lost in Space is geared towards families and kids -- just as its predecessor was (but with a serous tone and much larger budget). The original Lost in Space ""lost me"" in 1967, when it strayed into silliness for the sake of ratings. I have not completed all ten shows of the reboot, but so far it seems to be a solid PG-rated trip, with perfect casting of Maxwell Jenkins as young Will Robinson.",7
"Lost in Translation. Lost in Translation was one of those films that the critics adored. It was a quiet and quaint film that delivered an absorbing story without explosions or over drawn out comedic moments. Yes subtle and entertaining....some will find this film slow. Did anyone understand this? The pacing is slow, nothing is forced in any of the conversations....or shoved down an audience's throat. Its about two people making a connection. Bill Murray was amazing...very funny scenes happened when they were shooting his commercial. The bar scenes dragged but the music was good. The landscape and photography is amazing... yet not appealing in the communication areas....I guess we are all lost in translation. When these two characters connect.....the chemistry works well. I like a bit more action and movement so its not something I could recommend if you get bored easily. Not a bad flick....but there are far better ones out there to spend your time on. My vote for this would be 4 out of 10.",4
"When I seen Jason Bateman's performance it was amazing but everyone else was horrible. Story got stupid. Characters plots were stupid I didn't enjoy after the first couple episodes. Had me then lost me, could have been something amazing",4
"Turn your brain off Michael Bay is going to drop everything on your face. The characters have some depth if all their moralising is thrown away when they hit and kill pedestrians and blow everything up to get one dictator. Revolution sponsored by a Rum company not as much product placement as many Bay films but it is funny when Studios do movies about Revolutions whilst they sponsor companies. They're are pretty women and Ryan Reynolds is a parody of himself at this point. some plot holes We are ghosts, yet the billionaire that says this is photographed and the doctor has photos and a file pretty terrible ghosts really The story has terrible modern music soundtrack that sounds like everything else in dance and electro hip hop right out of fast and furious I half expected Vin Diesel to pop talking about ""We're family"" but they have that in the plot which is amusing. It's mindless enjoyable forgettable crap full of slow",5
"I started watching this series from curiosity, despite my principle that i never follow a mass hysteria, like The Witcher, in this case.

And i'm not sorry, it's a nice show, with a pleasant presence of nudity (sorry, IMDB don't let me use the t word... ). The story is too scrambled and became way too complicated, way too soon.

It's not a fairytale, not something to envolve in, nothing to love about it, nothing to remember and dream about it. Honestly, Merlin it's so much better...

But it's ok, enjoyble and somehow catchy. With some nice naked brests, did i mentioned that?

A good show, but, after all, so much overrated.",7
Graham lol. He knows his moves. I liked it the interviews.,8
"Hello Goodbye

I didn't know what to expect from this and oddly enough that is the best way to view this. It mixes humor, absurdity, sf, mystery and an interesting new reality.

I most enjoyed Klaus and Five, these 2 really nail there performances, though the rest is doing a good job too. I reckon everyone has their favorite.

Season 2 highlights a very serious cultural issue, well more then one, and does it very well imho.

I am hoping for another season, which i will binge watch again:)",8
"This movie is a far cry from the comic book, it's crazy if it wasn't Spider-Man the whole world followed, but I want to say something, this is an unbearable regret.

And as they say, this can never be a comic book movie. This is something that has not happened and it will affect some people and they will change the chef on their own, disinterested in money. This is nothing, and I must take some avoidance about this company. It may not do what the fans like, but it works for its benefit. I did not make myself an example of it for the sake of a despicable company that works for money or for fans This is not what the ComicBook is talking about, I am a True real ComicBook.

#TheRealMarvelFansAreDead. Unfortunately.",3
Good effects and story. Not better than Harry Potter but let's see what will happen in the 2nd part.,7
"If you love war films, don't bother with this.. This films was close but soo far.. A few moments jumped the shark and were just un realistic.. I had issues with some of the vfx that looked soo fake and a really weird sound mix.. When the German war plane crashed this film early jumped the shark. This film didn't totally suck, but when 100m is spent.. It's way off the mark.. Stream it for free in a few years..",3
"This movie is a great cure for insomnia. I fell asleep after 45 minutes, but doubt if I missed anything worth watching.",3
Good. Fanatastic truly amazing worth it. This is really simple movie and fantastic job ever perfect. I hope next time we'll see better one any other suggested?,3
"Good character development. Lots of twists and turns; and red herrings. What I liked most about this mini-series is that all of the main characters are damaged people, even the protagonist. All of these people are flawed in some way or another which makes for a very interesting story. The story kept me guessing who might have done it and made me second guess myself until the last episode.",8
"""American fiction"" was produced for Prime Video and the theatrical release in the Netherlads was very limited. Only 20 art house cinema's, among which the art house in my hometown, showed it a couple of times. I eagerly took advantage of this opportunity.

In ""American fiction"" a black writer (Thelonious Monk played by Jeffrey Wright) from a middle class background writes about his own experiences. His books do not sell very well because audiences expect drug addiction, teenage pregnancy's and other misery in books by black authors. Frustrated Thelonious writes a book under a pseudonym containing all the stereotypes. Guess what ... the book becomes a big success. The lives of Thelonius and the pseudonym author become ever more entangled, with all the comic possiblities this gives rise to.

The film can be seperated in a story about the pseudonym author and the story about Thelonious himself.

The story about the pseudonym author is the more philosophical one and in my opinion the ""raison d'être"" of this film. It shows that what seems to be diversity and inclusivity in reality is a lot of stereotypes and the white gaze.

This is illustrated in the most poignant way when a jury of two black writers (under which Thelonious) and three white writers must evaluate the novel of the pseudonym writer. The black writers both say that it is mediocre but the white jury members think we should listen to the black voice .... thereby neglecting their own black colleagues.

The film is based on the novel ""Erasure"" of Percival Everett published in 2001, so more than 20 years ago. Some reviews are of the opinion that the white gaze has changed in those twenty years and the novel of the pseudonym author would now not be awarded but called ""poverty porn"". I doubt it.

The story about the real Thelonious is somewhat overcrowded. A gay brother, the death of his sister, a mother diagnosed with Alzheimer disease, al new love affair. Despite all the frictions in the Monk family the story about the real Thelonius is a feel good story from the very beginning. The Monk family can't live with but certainly not without each other.",8
"No words to say one more block buster movie well direceted by Legendary Film Maker Nagraj Manjule. What acting by the all actors in this film realy appreciated the way and efforts they put in the film. This movie realy touched the emotions, and feelings. Story is beyond the imagination.",10
"The Godfather was incredible, but this one is even better. Pacino is even cooler then in the first part, and DeNiro shows everybody how to become a Don. A arguable downside in the first part could possibly be the fact that Brando was a gentleman, not a Don. DeNiro does this a lot better. Of course the quote ""I'm gonna make him an offer he don't refuse"" is used again, and a lot have been added, like ""keep your friends close, but your enemies closer"". Pacino is better in the second part because here he plays a Don all the time. He's a cold-blooded killer, exceeding his father. He ditches his sister, brother and wife and becomes the most powerful man in the US. Everytime a Pacino scene ends, you don't want it to end, and the same happens when a DeNiro scene ends. Connie Corleone is incredibly annoying, Fredo Corleone is incredibly pathetic and Michael and Vito are incredible. Probably an underrated actor in part I and II is Robert Duvall. You never see him mentioned but he acts great. Frank Pentangeli is very funny. Don Fanucci is a ""Chazzer"", and if you don't know what a Chazzer is, you ought to watch Scarface. 2 downsides are: No Santino (James Caan), and the fact that Pacino and DeNiro never play a scene together.",10
"First off, we really like the show. Great premise, great writing, great guest stars! Steve Martin and Martin Short as always are superior comedic actors . But, even they are clearly struggling to continue dragging the dead eyed, animatronic that is Selena Gomez. Holy crap, she is not only terrible at attempting to act, she's hard to look at, she's sucking all the oxygen out of the room through the TV! She makes Kristen Stewart look animated! I'd rather see a muppet, in her spot, at least their faces show expression. Anyway, I'm going to close this by saying - we just can't watch the show anymore as long as the third person is a corpse.",7
"My manh, Rakshit Shetty, you along with Charlie took the movie to the next level, God, Thanks for giving an Idea for making this masterpiece to Kiranraj. This movie made me cry in the last 20 minutes, after Avengers Endgame i have never cried for a movie. Still saw some idiots speaking negative for this movie, go to hell or get some sleep, creatures. I regret for myself that i missed this masterpiece in theatres. Rakshit Shetty's acting is cool, while Charlie is not acting he is actually living in this whole Movie, and a big salute to the trainer of Charlie, he deserves an award honestly, every pet lover can Watch this with 100% trust, even though it breaks your heart or makes you emotional. Not only pet lovers, but also everyone who, has no interest in pets also, a pure family entertainer.",10
This movie is my go to sleeping pill aside that its also a good background noise when you have guests so they will think you are classy. The plot is a snoozefest and lack reality just a bunch of comedic scenes.,1
"The movie is mediocre at best. I expected an original funny thought provoking film, I got a funny run of the mill movie. I think had I come in with lower expectations it could have been better. Not saying the movie is bad, but throughout the movie it felt like I was listening to music without the bass. I know it's weird but that's literally how it felt. The social commentary was good, but felt a little forced sometimes. I expected the movie to be another Lego Movie where the tules are completely altered, however, you'll find that it follows the same plot arch as well as direction as any other movie, but with a flair of barbie. The visuals could have been incredible based on the world they are in, and in some scenes they were really hood, but most of it is just like any other movie but with beautiful colourful sets. Overall it was really disappointing.",3
"Lots of action, but zero soul. Youre just watching it but not caring about whatäs going on...",3
"How to say it...? Pretentious sci-fi movie turned into easy-tear film. No script coherence, no science coherence and not even fiction coherence.

How can anyone rate 10 points this film? How many points do they rate Blade Runner? A thousand?

And it lasts for almost 3 hours. Really? Do you need 3 hours to tell this cheesy story?

I can't believe that the same people that wrote Memento could write this script.

So, Don't waste your money, watch any other movie instead.",5
"To avoid spoilers, I'll keep it simple. First, the negatives: Venom was a tonal mess. Inconsistencies throughout. Couldn't tell if it wanted to be dark or funny. The first act was also pretty bad and dragged on for too long. But the worst thing was the script and dialogue. It got very cringey at times and was pretty bad. Venom's voice was also bad. The trailers sounded so much better. The side characters had some duds and weren't great. Riz Ahmed as the villain was passable but forgettable; as was the story. Also, the PG-13 rating hurt it a bit, but not as bad as people thought. Now, the positives: The character Venom looks good. His CGI was done well and so was the villain's CGI work. The character of Venom also was taken care of well. He was semi accurate to the comics and actually eats people as seen in the trailer. Tom Hardy performed well, and although his accent didn't work well he portrayed a scared, possessed man pretty well. The relationship between Brock and Venom was also good. The second act was a huge step up from the first as well, once Venom was on screen, the movie got into signs of greatness. However, it didn't fully recover. The third act was only okay and the movie overall was pretty mediocre. Definitely worth a rent on something like Redbox, but I wouldn't pay much to see this movie. It had potential to be great, but this PG-13 flick couldn't escape mediocrity.",5
Not one of his better films. It was kind of meaningless. What was the point of Bruce Lee's character? What was the point of showing Manson for a minute? He didn't even really have a line. I was disappointed overall.,6
"I'm a little bummed that I waited so long to watch this due to reading poor reviews! I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Honestly, I often get bored during many movies, but this one held my attention the entire time. I think the low reviews aren't getting all the satire in this film &/or were expecting it to be a true sequel to Knives Out. Watch it with an open mind as a stand-alone and don't take it too seriously, and I don't think most would be disappointed. If you only want to watch it for a complicated whodunit, then I guess I can see being disappointed. Overall the story was interesting, I didn't find it too slow (when many complaints said that), and I feel that way about many movies. I think people who hated the ending feel that way because they want a threequel (even though it's not a true sequel), or they're pissed that they missed the clues and had it wrong. We have to suspend our conceptions of reality for so many shows and films, so I'm not sure why people struggled to with this one. The casting was perfect, I was especially impressed by Janelle Monae's acting! I had to laugh at the review that said Kate Hudson can't act- again it's satire, and she was playing a dumb celebrity. All the sets were stunning and beautifully detailed, and added to my appreciation of the film. I've seen a lot of bad films and this is not one of them. I think it was really fun and definitely worth a watch.",8
"Spider-Man 2 was the best, I loved everything about it, so many legendary scenes that I will never forget, I love Spider-Man and I definitely loved this movie.",9
I even started running possible scenarios in my head that would make a scene mind-blowin.. but it would always go the ovious way.,8
"This is a beautiful film, when seeing these images from space towards earth it just looks so peaceful and beautiful, like nothing can ever go wrong or disrupt the big peaceful silence, but something can and does.

After about 10 minutes you are hooked, sitting on the edge of your seat, wishing, hoping and sayings thank god that is not me out there. This is a great sci-fi thriller, it is very realistic and very powerful in this deliverance of the story and sub stories, I don't know it this is unrealistic or not, but it really was entertaining and fantastic.

I think it was very hyped, but after talking about it with others who have seen it, I like it more and more, in the beginning I might have set my hopes to high, but digging into the film more gives it more meaning and the fact that this is so technically good and very well acted is amazing.",7
"Most overrated show ever

Before i start talking about the game

So you're telling that this show is rated 8.9 same as better call saul nah this is a crime because better call saul is miles wayyyyyyyy better than the last of us.

This show was really really good until episode 3 and then it was really really good again until episode 6 to episode 9 everything went downhill the quality of the show and everything being rushed and the final episode in the show is the shortest episode in the show and only being 44m

Now let's talk about the game The game is perfection perfect pacing wayyyyyyyy better acting This suppose to have the same characters as the game

Let's talk about Joel Joel in the game is nowhere near the same as joel in the show Joel in the show is wayy weaker and they showed the soft/human side of him in episode 6 but Pedro Pascal is a good casting for Joel but even though there are better casting for Joel for example Hugh Jackman

Now let's talk about Ellie Bella Ramsey is nowhere Ellie at all bad casting and bad acting and she doesn't look or feel like Ellie at all

Now there are something's that are better in the show

But comparing the game to the show The show is garbage of how good/perfect/goated the game is

If they went with everything of how the game is like literally everything copy paste Then the show would have been wayyy better

I have more things to say but i don't want this review to be longer.",6
"The concept of the movie to tell the story in overlapping and in the end combining pieces is very good and the sound score supports the action, but that's about it. The pathos in the Spitfire pilots actions at the end when he still shots down a Stuka without fuel and then heroically, almost mystically flying his last meters on the beach and the wrong depiction of military actions are big downsides of the movie. No Heinkel attacks at such low altitude, no Messerschmitt wastes time to shoot on a small boat and ships don't sink so fast. What strikes me most is the poor out-fit of a movie with a 100 mill. Dollar budget. Not much to see on the beach, not much effort to make the ships look as they did back then (except for the smaller ones) and then they was some stuff to see which is by any means modern, e.g. the trains waggons inside was modern style. When you make a movie playing in 1940, you should be more careful with that. So, for me it looks like sort of an concept movie.",2
"Chernobyl is about the brave men and women who had to navigate the ridiculously scary nuclear accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in April of 1986. It is heartbreaking to watch as this shocking disaster unfold and even though you probably already know the story and what happens you'll still sit on the edge of your seat as tense as can be. This show will grab you from the very first episode and not let go. The attention to detail is just awesome. I can't recommend this show enough so if you're looking for a new show then give this a try, I promise you will not be disappointed. Just make sure you give yourself enough time because you're going to want to binge it as fast as you can.",9
I reviewrrather critically. It's alright. I give it a 5 because the guy acts nothing like a psychopath. He just says things that he thinks psychopaths would say,5
"I should blame the power of marketing for the disproportionate buzz this movie has created. I gave my friends a hard time, and continued relentlessly in my pursuit to convince them that this was the movie we had to watch. Being stubborn bordering pain in the backside, my friends decided to accompany me to watch SouthPaw. There we were, a mixed group of girls and guys in their thirties happily watching this movie together on a big screen.

But how bad did I feel about my friends throughout the movie? I had pushed them to spend two hours watching one of the most overrated and boring movies of the year. Furthermore, on a Saturday night when the streets of Madrid are hustling and buzzing and people are in terraces enjoying the sun and sipping cocktails.

I honestly find it hard to come up with positives about this film. It follows the typical recipe to make a sports movie: A guy is the champ; he then loses everything or gets injured; he hits rock bottom; he starts training again; he regains his title. That's it. There's nothing unpredictable in Southpaw. It follows the same pattern that you may have seen a million times.

To finish, I'll say that I consider Gyllenhaall one of my favorite actors, and I pointed in another review how I enjoyed all his movies. Well, I guess this is the exception that confirms the rule, because Southpaw is clearly not a movie that I wish to recommend. Mediocre at best!",4
"The only thing about this turkey with which I was happy was that I watched it on someone else's DVD and it did not cost me any money to be bored to death. Older washed-up movie star Bill Murray goes to Tokyo to star in an ad campaign for a liquor company. Not only is he lonely and bored (yawn), but he is disappointed in his current life. His wife and family back in the States seem to have other things on their minds than him. Scarlett Johansson is a young woman in Tokyo also lonely and bored (yawn) and disappointed in her current life. Not only is she shacked up with a guy more interested in his career than her, but he has left her alone while he goes on a job assignment without leaving her so much as a sex toy with which to amuse herself. She and Murray meet. They play grab-ass for several days. What is this strange relationship: father/daughter or a ""two ships who passed in the night"" romance? Who cares? Finally he goes home and leaves her to pine away. I gave this movie a 3 only because of my respect for Murray's abilities demonstrated in other movies.",3
"I will review all seasons:

Season 1: In the traditional child hero story, either the stakes are relatively small or the hero grows up during the story. The series opens with a two-parter, ""The Boy In The Iceberg"" and ""The Avatar Returns"". Each episode of the series has a short introductory segment that provides some background for novices. For adult viewers, this 100-year-war is a little problematic because it doesn't make much sense. Katara is a novice waterbender, and her brother Sokka appears to be a terrible navigator. We also meet Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation, who is on a quest to find the Avatar.

Season 2: Season 2 adds to the cast while also delving deeper into the characters. This is especially true in the case of Iroh and Zuko, who have a touching past involving Iroh's late son. With uncertainties regarding Zuko's objectives and a suspenseful final episode, the series comes to a close.

Season 3: ""The Book of Fire,"" holds the darkest chapters, including the imprisonment and torture of a major character. Life in America looks and feels a lot like life in the Fire Nation as Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, and eventually Zuko experience it.",9
"O.k., an Hispanic business man with ties to the mob, married to a bleach blond skinny coked out looking white chick in the 80's-hey that sounds a little like Scarface! Well, that's where the similarities end. I'm having a really hard time seeing why this movie has 7.1 on IMDb. My main problem is that this movie presents itself as a violent mob drama. I saw the trailers and was excited to see this movie become available to stream, so I sat through it and waited. I waited and waited for the violence. I don't need violence in every movie, I like dramas, good ones anyway, and this one isn't. But it has the word violence in the title. Is this some sort of ironic title? I will answer that and say yes it is, whether intended or not.

I just didn't believe these characters-that added to the fact they were not interesting in the least-I've sat though Lifetime movies that were more compelling. I don't think the acting is bad, it's just ultimately an extremely banal story with no climax, or any kind of gestalt to make some kind of point. It just drones on and on as you wait for something exciting or interesting. How about a good old emotion or two, that would have been cool. There are a couple of scenes that try to be exciting, wow a car chase! He's pulling out a gun and ... oh he's putting it away without shooting it. The characters just don't really grab you, and the story is preposterous. J.C. Candor must have paid people to like this movie because I don't get what is so great about it! The most misleading title ever. I like a slow-burn, but this thing is a smoldering pile of poo.",3
"To be honest i would be more appreciated if we could see emilia clarke in the series. Alicent is such an as.h.ole.as far as i know they will show us in becoming seasons not the things we would wanna see but i am excited about the what will happen in the future. Although the first season is good,we can´´t compare it with GOT. The characters really represents the whole story really good. Especially the last two episodes. You can have goosebumps in some scenes,i can assure you that. But this feeling is like i said not in every scene and you can't keep up with that. GOT was really whole another level of enternainment ,feelings and scenes.

Hopefully we would see more exciting scenes in next seasons and watch it as whole like GoT.",8
I put off watching The Boys because I thought it might be a cheap ripoff of the MCU. How wrong was I? I loved this series from start to finish (and now can't wait for the next series). The series is dark and has great special effects. Well done Amazon,9
"Hard movie to review, It's kinda great and kinda terrible. The acting is great but the dialogues is awful, constant shouting over eachother. You will either love it or hate it.",4
"I can't believe this film has got 8.8 out of 10. Probably the worst film I have ever seen in my life. I'm not even going to waste my time trying to tear this film to shreds as I wasted enough of my life watching it. They say ""that if an infinite number of monkeys were left to bang on an infinite number of typewriters, sooner or later they would accidentally reproduce the complete works of William Shakespeare"". Sadly they should have employed some more monkeys to finish the job on this film. Oh, and Matthew Mcconaughey is orange in this film. When he is next too his daughter who is pale, he looks so stupid. Please, please, please save your money and time and pass on this film.",1
"The Punisher is a Marvel univers character. An unpowered guy with guns among heroes. Without that distinctive factor, he is just another angry guy with a gun like it as been done thousands of times. I had hope, with this series following a Marvel crossover that they would have understood this most basic fact, the core of the character. Yet its just another adpatation of some guy with a skull shirt shooting things.

The Pubisher, the real one, the fun one that rivals Spiderman and Daredevil as yet to be done.",3
Didn't really care about the characters. The only thing cool was the locations they shot in,5
"At first my interest was awakened by this situation. I have read other coming of age books that handle the suicide subject and, well, it's a subject that has come across my own life very often as well. Especially during those teen-times. I am now older. Wiser? I don't know. But what I do know is that this show at first hit me, with a positive feeling. A human way of looking at issues that teens have to deal with. But then I started to realize with what I was dealing here. A show, based on a book which I haven't read but might probably rate the same way, that deals with a subject that's so delicate, it should have been thought of twice what this could actually do to people. The storytelling is OK, even though a bit slow, but the way other characters react. The way they deal with the tapes. the way the school deals with the aftermath and the students who may or may not have been traumatized. It gives off a totally wrong message. As if it is normal to act this shallow. Besides the fact that this show is totally not realistic in my eyes (I mean, it starts a week after the suicide and already so many people have had the tapes and listened to them and forwarded them even. And no one ever thought it would be wise to have someone else listen to them or think about consequences. Or no one ever questioned if Hannah was sane enough to know what she did.) the story also shows off as if a suicide victim, and I call them victims, always know so well what they do when they kill themselves. People, sad reality is that most of the suicides aren't happening with people who are clear enough to fully understand what they are doing. Let alone take the time to make tapes, prepare long time in advance, as if they can watch what happens afterwards. I gave 4 stars at first, but writing this review with tears in my eyes, made me realize how bad this show is. all I can say is, please if you watch it, realize, this is not normal. not real. It is horrible!",1
"Pulp Fiction is a movie of our times - fast moving, exciting but gratuitous and ultimately meaningless. This movie has pace! It moves along from the opening scene at great speed and it's never anything less than thrilling. There are stories within stories throughout the movie. Several funny moments. And many violent scenes. And that's my problem with this film. It seems to glorify (or at least casualise) violence. A kid's face is blown off by mistake - and our heroes only worry that his splattered brains spoils their hair. But it's all very entertaining - just a bit immoral and it doesn't really have anything to say except that Tarrentino has a fascination for meaningless violence. Entertainment value is 9/10. But I gave it 8.",6
"Spent 13 consecutive hours watching this marvelous feat, was on the edge of my chair the whole time!

Overall, a great rewatchable show and a modern classic that will be talked about for a long time. Offers something for everyone, you like teenage drama, you'll get teenage drama. Like eldritch horror, you'll get eldritch horror and so on. Maybe the actors are easily the highlight (after the most important part of the show, the story!), with every single one of them absolutely slaughtering their roles. In case if the writing is not always amazing, the acting, at least most of the time, makes up for it enough. Mainly, love everything about the show, encourage you to watch it.",9
"This movie definitely pulls all the punches to be Oscar worthy - a prestigious cast, setting and Director to help give it an air of sophistication. If we are meant to feel compassion towards Russell Crowe's character because 'oh look he is a genius with a mental illness' then unfortunately I did not feel any empathy at all. The script is totally embellished which takes away its credibility. Also, most of what comes out of his mouth hardly warrants a title of 'A Beautiful Mind'. More like A Dirty Mind, a guy who just wants to get laid like everyone else. I didn't see the character doing anything special or significant that seemed 'beautiful' other than scrawling on his windowsill.",5
"In keeping with the spirit of Knives Out (2019) without rehashing the first film, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery provides a satisfying whodunnit mystery that entertains as much as it intrigues. The film is set in the early months of the COVID outbreak, using the opulent setting and the pandemic as the perfect foil for a class conscious whodunnit. The targets are tech billionaires, Men's Rights Activist streamers, corrupt politicians, and influencers. Among all that is the Columbo-like Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig), playing a brilliant detective who is able to give the appearance he's anything but. It's a delight to watch him in action, playing off the brilliant supporting cast. Gotta give a hat tip to the person in the art department who came up with the Fight Club artwork. I felt the final act went a little over the top and dragged on too long, however that didn't detract too much from the whole experience. It's a fun watch without taking itself too seriously. I hope there are more Knives Out mysteries to come.",7
"Mix Outlander Tv Show, the Twilight saga, the last Harry Potter and 1992 Scent of a Woman and you will have A Discovery of witches love story. Easy to watch.",9
"Enjoyed season one, a bit cheesy at times, but watchable for the most part. Not sure what happened in season two, the production is still top quality, acting is decent, but the writing is Terrible !!! There is no story. Fake crisis after fake crisis, and the Robison's save they day. Maybe I'm not the target audience ? Perhaps this was written for 7 year olds ? Or maybe Netflix budgeted so much on production, they couldn't afford writers so just kept recycling the same script.

I keep watching hoping it will improve, then wonder why I'm wasting my time on this junk.... too bad, really had potential. :/",4
"Better then all the other creature shows and movies out there.

I love how it does not go by the same rules as other shows and movies like this. Not to spoil anything for anyone who has not seen this.

No quirky diamond shimmering creatures. Interesting take and chemistry between the characters.",9
This movie would be great if it was taken seriously. The stunt crew and second unit were amazing. The script is similar to a loudmouth at a party who talks too much and thinks he's funny. Why is the comedy so forced and unnatural? I love Ryan Reynolds but they Ryan Reynoldsed it up so that everyone has forced funny one-liners and stupid scenes that take away the flow from the action. It hurt to watch so I bailed at 16 minutes.,3
"Swades is an amazing film directed by Ashutosh Gowariker .Srk plays the NRI NASA scientist returning to India to Find someone close to him.Although many people have complained about the length of the film, I personally think certain scenes needed to be slow and heavy. The background score by Rahman is absolutely stunning.The song""ye Jo Des he Tera"" is really heartwarming.

Shah Rukh Khan once again proves why he is the best in Bollywood. Certain scenes are brilliantly enacted by him and it is a shame that he is churning out more commercial potboilers today than subject-oriented films.Gayatri Joshi gives a wonderfully restrained performance>She does a brilliant job for someone acting in her debut film.The supporting cast is outstanding too.All in all a Superb and must watch film for all Indians.",10
"Wednesday pretends to be a mystery series in a fantasy world, where you're hooked with the storytelling. But through the episodes you realize that what keeps you that way, is the peculiar and well build universe, as the precisly casting of every character. These elementes are the reason Wednesday is entertaining.

With Tim Burton as a main key in this project, was expected that these elements were so important. The thing is that the well designed universe and characters overshadow by far the mystery and story that are trying to tell. Because the distinctive Tim Burton's style is so perceptible during the whole series. Though more inconspicuous than other projects by him.

The mystery is simple and with potential, but it feels like nine episodes were too much for what it takes to get resolution. So the story dallies a lot.

The plot twist is key element on this kind of stories, so it's important put them to good use and don't abuse of them. Something that happens a lot on Wednesday.

A teenage Wednesday Addams as the main charachter, that tries to adapt to an unadapted school, feels refreshed. Showing new faces of the character that maybe before were unseen. As well as the others members of the Addams Family.

The time devoted to the mystery's construction, and the fateful profecy to happen, makes the final quickie and deflated for all this expectation. So it's dispiriting the way it gets concluded. However, the town's background, all the characters that live there, and all the different beings that coexist with Wednesday, make this universe rich and abundant, which surely will get more stories to tell.

In conclusion, Wednesday it's an entertaining series that will be remembered not by it's story, but for the peculiar characters and universe where it happens.",7
"Jennifer Lawrence plays a Russian secret service operative who gets raped, endures an attempted rape, gets beaten, gets a black eye, slashed, stabbed, gets a gun put to her head, has to strip in front of dozen pairs of indifferent eyes and has a man died on top (and inside) of her. Sounds like a helluva thriller if I put it that way. However, it turned out to be a totally bland experience. I am filing this under the ""trailer is better than the movie"" category.

The movie starts rather well. Cross-cutting tensely between two characters in two separate locations in Russia, the opening has pizazz and attitude, but it quickly simmers down to a lull. Granted this is not a spy thriller in the mold of The Bourne Trilogy and more in the plaintive vein of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Francis Lawrence's fourth outing with Jennifer Lawrence doesn't even strive to be at least exciting. So much is at stake and everything seems to fall on both Lawrences' shoulders, but just like the perennial cold Russian weather, they serve up a frigid and turgid dish.

Jennifer Lawrence puts in a professional and fearless performance and in one chilling moment performs a difficult scene with aplomb. It is a scene that takes a lot of guts to bring to life and you will know it when you see it. But her character is painted with little guile and her cold exterior is impenetrable. Her character is humanised by her love for her bedridden mother and every time she appears the heavy-handed mawkishness nearly pushed me into a near-diabetic coma. Why can't her character motivation be painted differently? So I am to gather that she messes up men for noble reasons? Cliché.

For a movie that mixes spycraft with erotica, Red Sparrow doesn't do either particularly well. The narrative sidesteps into clandestine territory with vague purpose and the cards are held so close to Lawrence's ample chest that it is difficult to sense who her allegiance is to or her cunning wileness. The cloak and dagger intrigue and mental chess games are not on par with the best spy movies that have graced our consciousness like Munich or The Bourne Trilogy, so much so that when the final denouement arrives it touches down with little impact.

In terms of erotic drama, Lawrence and Edgerton have zilch chemistry. It begins well enough at the swimming pool, but I find it hard to buy into their relationship and the huge stakes involved. A movie like this rise or fall on their on-screen chemistry, but their pairing left me cold. When it should sizzle with sultry energy, it barely purrs like a malnourished pussycat.

At a runtime of 139 minutes, nothing of note happens and my mind isn't engaged by all the espionage manoeuvrings. Violence comes in bright red flashes, but isn't compelling in terms of stakes when characters are so uninterestingly drawn. It is a shame because the story offers up so much promise (I am currently reading the book and I hate to say this, but the book is better). On top of needing a tighter edit to quicken the pace, what Red Sparrow needs is a better storyteller. As it is, this is just an unmemorable and mostly functional ""point A to point B"" fare. Imagine if the film were to be helmed by a director who could gel all the elements into an organic beast. Now, that would be a film blooded in crimson and Jennifer Lawrence would have disrobed for a worthier film.",6
First couple of episodes were better while it was mostly just a kitschy sitcom. It was a harder slog getting through the last few episodes.,6
"What a terrible movie!! I give it a two, because Johnny Depp is incredible and makes it ALMOST worth it (not quite, really), but there's only that much good he can do to a movie with a botched plotline, and ferociously dim-witted, unfunny dialogs. It hardly made me laugh: one can't squeeze all that much fun out of uninspired actors left on their own, discarded plot elements, random fights, and a slippery glass eye. It seemed it would go on forever: I enjoyed about 5 minutes of it, and hated the rest. A hopeless waste!",2
The camera work in the film was very good. But I expected a lot from Christopher Nolan. The X factor of Nolan's movies was missing. Usually there is plenty of suspense in his movies but not in Dunkirk. The acting in this movie from everyone was commendable. Movie was good but did not live up to expectations.,7
"I completely agree with the reviews i have read from bernazard and hannibal wolff. This movie was absolutely awful. It is truly the worst movie I have ever see in my life. I cant believe I waisted my time to watch this. I rented this movie and 'Wrong Turn' expecting an amazing film(Lost In Translation) and a dud(Wrong Turn), but after watching this snoozefest, it seemed Wrong Turn could be Oscar material. I usually love Bill Murray, but this movie would be terrible no matter who played the lead. I literally found myself falling asleep and praying for the torture... i mean movie to end. This ""movie"" did not deserve any of the hype it was given. I don't understand how this is considered comedy, except for it being so lame that every time my family and I look back on watching this ""oscar worthy"" movie, we laugh about how stupid it was. I cant believe people could actually think this was a good film, even a decent film. For people who say this movie has a meaning... please tell me what it is... because all I got out of it was two boring people in a boring movie doing boring things. For all the people who saw this movie and agree with me that it is a huge waste of time... I'm sorry... I'm sorry because you waisted an hour and a half of your life that you will never get back. For the people who haven't seen it... don't see it, unless you love misery of course. A special message to Sofia Coppola, better be thankful for who your father is, without him... the academy would have looked right past this thing you call a movie. i give this movie a */**********",1
Best action show I've ever seen. Even better than 90% of the action movies out there!!,10

"I don't know where to start. I love MCU superhero movie. Thor is my favorite after Captain American and Doctor Strange. The first movie was good, the second was outstanding, and when I hear Ragnarok will be the third (and probably last) Thor movie, I'm thrill. I hope this movie gonna be majestic like lord of the ring movie, aaaaand we got this awful movie.

Ragnarog should be the perfect conclusion for Thor trilogy, especially when you have Anthony Hopkins and Cate Blanchett in it. F**kin 'Anthony Hopkins and Cate Blanchett !!! Whats wrong with you people !!

Dark and gritty theme is not for all superhero movie. And vice versa, not all movies can be made as comedy budy action. Leave that genre to Guardian of the Galaxy. Thor is meant to be be Shakespeare's Norse mythology movie. What makes GOG works, because they able to develop their great characters and the relation between. Hell even GOG Vol 2 know how to pull a line somewhere between their jokes and make me cry in the end of the movie. Thor : Ragnarog is just bad rip off from GOG with plenty of miss-placed jokes.

I also disappointed with wasted talents of great actors. You will be fascinated in the first 10 minutes Cate Blanchett. But after that, just bland acting, bad dialogue and the editing is the worst. At least make powerful and touching dialogue between Thor, Odin and Hela, as they're presented by great actors. but noooooo. Hela has no special motivation, no expression, only an unclear desire to rules Asgard and other 9 realm.

I don't get it with all people who rating this movie above 5 and said it it the best MCU experience so far. Have you no respect for Winter Soldier, Doctor Strange, Civil Wars and the noise mythology? you guys need to watch more movie.

certainly whatever my opinion, this movie will still make a lot of money. and I also have good time. Not great, but good",3
"Oh... He's so ugly, oh she's so nice and human... oh the bad guys are very evil and scary... oh but love will prevail in the end... How surprising, how original, who would ever have thought of that?

Sometimes I just don't get Hollywood. They take a movie that absolutely nothing new to say, nor to show, and they celebrate it like it's genious, while they totally miss on much better things.

The visual universe is simply a copy-paste from the french movie Amélie Poulain, which was released in 2001.

The story is boring, for we've seen it a thousand times. Guillermo del Toro pats himself on the back like he's a visonnary, good for him. But far from convincing.

In a nutshell, much ado about nothing. I just find it sad that in 2018, such a flat movie gets all that praise. Beauty and the beast dates 1946, and Shape of water is nothing more than an umpteenth flashy remake of it, bringing nothing new to the table.",2
I have no words to explain about this movie while watching this movie your heart will felt and you can't stop yourself to cry...bounding between charlie and dharma will make you cry....,10
"Parineeta could've been so much better. The movie comes off a little flat because it never lets you get emotionally involved in the characters' lives/actions. Everything is moving a bit too fast. Once the major conflict was set, it seemed like VVC couldn't wait to resolve all the tension and problems built among the characters. Thus you never really feel that attached to the people on screen. What makes it even worse is the climax, which seems right out of a David Dhawan flick. I got the feeling VVC couldn't wait to end the movie.

My biggest gripe with Parineeta is the lack of focus on Saif-Balan's relationship. There's hardly enough on-screen interaction between these two for us to understand the 'depth' of their relationship. That love-making scene I thought came out of nowhere. Upto that point we had only seen Balan&Saif as good friends and then BOOM! All of a sudden they're getting naked and rolling their tongues all over each other. It's a good thing Balan-Saif also happen to be great actors aside from sharing awesome chemistry because that entire sequence could've played out very awkwardly.

Anyway, great performances from the leading pair....especially Vidya Balan. I don't know anyone in Bollywood who emotes as naturally as she does(hard to believe it's her first film!). Saif has given better performances before(DCH and EHT), but this is right up there with his work in KHNH and Hum Tum. He's at his best when he's expressing purely through his eyes and body language.

Sanjay Dutt and the rest of the supporting cast do a fine job.

The cinematography, sets and art direction is just amazing. The 60's era is beautifully recreated. I have to say I've seen VERY few films as visually engaging as Parineeta.

Of course, great visuals don't make a great movie. Parineeta in the end still lacks emotional depth.

Overall, worth a dekho for the performances and the charming way in which the movie has been decorated and shot.",7
"I should know better.

Critics raved and fans lavished The Last of Us with praise. That should have been a big red flag that this series isn't for me. Regardless, I finally gave it a chance. Yawn. And I was just as disappointed as I usually am with content from HBO.

Two episodes in and I don't think I can stomach any more of it.

There is no plot to speak of, no coherent storyline. However, the acting and production are good; otherwise I would have rated the show lower. There is nothing that pulls me in to continue watching, nothing to feel good about, nothing hopeful to look forward to.

And apparently the series has already been renewed for a second season. So I guess fans will get more of what they want. I'll take a pass.",4
"Anwar Says: BBKV Production release, it's Bhuvan Bam all over , a rag to rich story but the story writers could not leave their fancy for typical Bollywood preferences. An interesting premise on which the template could have been built but made it superficial.

The YouTube sensation Bhuvan has been able to make his presence felt at OTT Platform and Shriya Pilgaonkar is a perfect fit in her character as Sex Worker. Shilpa Shukla and J D Chakravarti enjoyed the spotlight and availed the opportunity.

Music has been a domain of BB and he has introduced the underrated Group Parikrama , which performed with a brilliance. Watching BB is breezy and can go for a binge watch, if you have nothing else to do.

"A few funny moments, some Scifi inspired elements, and insane violent action scenes that distracts you from the deeper meaning, if any. You can always find some lessons from certain parts, but you have to do the whole work yourself.

If a movie has to be explained and be watched with a guide to be able to follow it and get it, then I don't care to watch it.

I like to watch a movie where we have to figure out things and they don't overexplain every detail, but here I got the impression that the more confusing the made it the better they felt it would be, like the whole goal was to only be artistic yet pointless.

I felt a huge let down from a over hyped movie, I expected some universal qualities and didn't find then, when the movie finished it was a strong anti climax, just wasted an evening with that nonsense.",2
"The MCU has a problem. Well, it has more than one, but this one just took this series' promising start to a very medicore, MCU cliche direction.

The problem is, essentialy, that they can't truly go full power on a great, deep idea. It showed on Infinity War, now it shows here.

Wandavision is an MCU-related series that follows Wanda Maximoff and Vision in an odd sitcom of sorts. As weird things begin to occur, the mystery which is this weird sitcom is slowly unraveled. On the way there's a little dive into Wanda's psychology, her powers and her past.

So, like I said, the main issue here is Marvel holding back. I like a lot of things about the beginning of the series - the mystery aspect is quite thrilling, and it's very well done on the first couple of episodes. I like the writing, which is witty and entertaining, and I also really appreciate how the creators of Wandavision managed to capture so many vibes through every aspect of the sitcom. You'll get it when you'll watch it, if you haven't yet. Anyway, it works well, and I honestly like the premise of the show a lot. It also started in a way that made me think that here, Marvel can actually do stuff the way it should be done, and consistently.

Well, as you may realise by now, it didn't go on like that. Not really.

I can't go on full details here, but I'll try to communicate the idea in general: By incorporating unnecessary plotlines with underwritten characters and way-too-much-explainatory nature, the series has lost its mystery, and lost its decent pacing, actually. I'll also say that Wanda should've been confronted, mentally speaking, with something, and it didn't happen the way I think it should've happenned. She just kinda got off with it, and I feel like this is simply cause Marvel can't go full force on darker ideas, or more experimental (for the MCU, at least), direction. Which, again, is quite a shame.

So, yeah. WandaVision has some highlights, some really cool ideas, and a lot of things that we didn't see Marvel doing...well, maybe ever, at least in the MCU. Sadly, it slowly becomes more and more mediocre towards the end of the show, and so the whole experience isn't much more than ""well, that was...nice, I guess"". Feeling a 6.5/10 on this one.",6
"I'm not trying to make a scene! But Avatar is REALLY, but REALLY boring! It's all about that same boxed action-drama movie that you can figure out every event before it happens, it's like watching a 80's action film about marines and living things that the human guy falls in love with the living thing lady and he ends up helping her to free the world from the bad men.

The movie worths indeed it's rich scenario and effects, but when you pay attention at the story behind it, it's very lame. So, if you got a big screen TV and nothing else to do, just rent it and prepare to(probably) sleep at the couch of your living room, cause all the action comes at the end, and if you manage to stay awake until the end of the movie, you'll want to throw yourself out of the window.",2
"You have to wonder about people who rate this stuff 9 or 10. I mean what are they comparing it to? (""The Masked Singer is soooo awesome!"") MCU/Comic book stuff is limited to begin with. The only things not below average in this show is the budget and visual effects. This is MCU lite/light. That's find to have a less dark, less intense version of the MCU, but so far the character archs are very predictable. The story and the execution are bland and unengaging.",2
"First of all i'd like to start this review by stating that this movie was kind of reminded me of a Hollywood flick that released in the year 2011. Something borrowed.. I am not saying its the whole copy but loosely based on the same concept..with minor defects in this.

Nutshell:- Cocktail starts impressively and fades excessively as the interval gets close and after the interval it falls terribly.

Saif as Gautam was too peppy, dialogues were OK-OK but i find some of them over the top. I personally didn't find this role suited for him or rather the guy in his age. But , still his acting as always was descent...... i mean good (did i say descent? My mistake). He is a terrific actor. No doubt.

Dipika as Veronica- hot as hell, dazzled and killed with everything she has and it really worked. She was perfect for this character, she did justice, her outfit, expression and everything matched each other perfectly and the audience went wowwwwww whenever she was on the screen.

The new girl Diana as Meera was fresh face or fresh sweet & cute face. Her acting as a debut was quiet descent and good.I found her really charming sometimes. Rest of the cast with dimple and Boman were good as always.

Pritam's music was the best thing in the movie. Every track depict sheer awesomeness. Although we knw how he does it. But nevertheless he did fantastic in this movie.. Even the Punjabi tracks in the clubs were well chosen. Direction was good but as i said when story line falls even the director cannot save the ship. You hv to be spielberg or cameroon for that.

In all a nice predictable romantic flick but not what i was expecting. An average movie with little substance, some humour. One time watch. and if you haven't you can wait for the DVD (No offence). :)",5
"We've all seen the original Disney animation, and I'm sure it's up there with peoples favorite - it's great.

The opening sequence started off with so much promise, visually stunning, well performed music performance and I felt a little teary eyed remembering when I saw the original as a kid. Unfortunately, the enjoyment stopped there.

The script, score and songs are close the original yet when they deviated from the original script it was awful writing. By far the worst thing for me was how detached the voice overs are from the visual. It's literally like one team did the visuals, and then some people put some voice over the top - it was not connected or engaged at all. Some of the sfx (or lack of) just added to the detached feeling.

The voice actors were average, including the usually. Great JEJ, who despite reusing most of his original lines, just seemed flat.

Seth Rogen however, was a stand out being both well cast, but also a good, natural voice actor.

Visually great, but otherwise poor. So disappointing!!",4
"After watching this first episode I'm wondering why it's emulating Dr Who with this ""time lords"" concept. I'll give it another episode to get going, but so far I'm not that impressed with the plot. Owen Wilson is an ok actor but not my choice for Marvel Universe.",5
"I gave this movie 3 stars for Keany Reeves, acting, shooting/fighting scenes and camera work. Other than that... Don't they have some Russian ex-pats in Hollywood? I know there is large Russian community in LA... Why them Hollywood managers won't hire at least one Russian to sort out all dialogs? It really looks hilarious when Russian mob boss mumbles something incomprehensible to his idiot son and than switches to perfect English in the middle of a phrase. There were a lot more examples, but I'll stop here. English is not my 1st language but I can tell you Russian dialogs in this movie are freakin' hilarious. It is sad, that otherwise good movie was screwed up by inept and ignorant Hollywood bosses. The scrips is kind of weak too, but it was said enough about it here, so I'll save your time. Overall enjoyed it watching in a gym while running on elliptic machine. Perhaps that's what this film is good for. But I wouldn't pay for this. Thanks to torrent sites.",3

"What a beautiful made movie... just wished they had put more effort into the story.

20 min of excitement, but then it slows down the rest of the movie, and it's just a poor and lazy writing job.

I will give them credit for the way it was filmed, that's an Oscar worthy.

But no wear near the league of film like; Saving Private Ryan, Platoon, The Thin Red Line, Stalingrad or one random episode of Band of Brothers.

Again, the script is way to poorly written, to even come close to War movies like those above.",7
"My favorite three shows right now are Mad Men, Game of Thrones and Hannibal, and while they are vastly different in subject and style, they share several traits that make them a cut above the rest. The writing is excellent, the acting well played and the actors perfectly cast, and all three have a production value and aesthetic that elevates them above your average show. There is a sense of perfectionism and obsessive dedication to quality by their creators, which I think is what makes their fan bases as loyal as they are. There is a sense that the authors are writing to an audience they respect. There is no spoon feeding of plot or dumbing down of dialog. Intelligent characters are consistent in their decision making; things play out in a manner that makes sense, allowing one to relax into the suspension of disbelief that is so addictive about good storytelling. Every detail is delicately handled and placed just so.

Hannibal beings long before the events already so well known in pop culture due to the popularity of the films and books, so there is no rehashing of material (so far). It is delightful to watch as the characters unfold, giving tiny, succulent tastes of what is to come. The chemistry in the cast is electric, yet you can feel the camaraderie as well. The acting is of a caliber rarely seen on television, where nothing is exaggerated unnecessarily, and words are not used when a twitch of a lip or an eye flicker will do. The writing supports this, trusting the players to transmit their layered characterization and inner workings without too-obvious statements and unnecessary melodrama. While the subject matter is gruesome and intense in nature, it is surprising how beautiful everything is. In contrast to the turmoil and savagery of the proceedings, there are long shots of stunning locations and meticulously crafted sets gorgeously, perfectly lit, masterfully composed to speak as loudly as any dialog. It is the silences in Hannibal that are the most powerful to me, the long stretches of music and sounds which emote so strongly. It is a sign of great writing that I am not disappointed that when they are broken by speaking, it is to add to the tension, not break it.

It is clear that this show is a labor of love produced by talents enamored of the material. With the first season half way through, there is no sign of the quality dropping and the show is seeming to hit its stride. If the ratings can keep up (it's recent acquisition by Amazon will no doubt help things along) I look forward to the show having many (7 or more, by the producer's plans) more seasons to flesh itself out. After all, the best dishes take their time to prepare, and these people take their palates deadly seriously.

Even if serial killer horror shows aren't your thing, it's worth trying everything at least once. ;)",10
"Put your hands together for Johnny Gaddaar, director Sriram Raghavan's brilliant thriller about a gang of five cons who raise Rs two-and-a-half-crore between themselves so they can participate in a shady deal that's going to double their investment.

But that plan goes horribly wrong when one of them hatches a foolproof plan of his own, and discreetly steals everyone else's money. It's a job so well done, that the traitor slips right back into the gang without anyone suspecting him for the betrayal. The gang, now furious over losing their money, set out to find out who, after all, was the mastermind behind this double-cross.Unquestionably one of the smartest films I've seen recently, the biggest strength of Johnny Gaddaar is its unpredictability. Unlike most conventional thrillers with a heist at its core, this one's not a whodunit – it can't be, because you know all along who's done it – the question instead is, how's he going to get away with it? That premise of course makes for an exciting two-hour film. Only problem is, Johnny Gaddaar is well over two hours – two-and-a-half-hours to be precise – and for a nail-biting thriller, that's just way too long.Unfolding like a Coen Brothers film where a series of fortunate accidents or divine interventions keep the plot from ever getting mundane, Johnny Gaddaar avoids clichés and smashes stereotypes as it makes its journey from opening credits to the end. Really the film's biggest accomplishment is the manner in which it compels you, the viewer to think differently – midway through the film you've got the drift, you begin to expect the unexpected, you even begin to predict what's going to happen next. That's the level of involvement you're able to muster up for this film.To give credit where it's due director Sriram Raghavan delivers on both style and content. Peppering his film with pop cultural references in a manner reminiscent of Tarantino's trademark style, Raghavan pays homage to Vijay Anand and his oeuvre of pacy thrillers – Jewel Thief, Teesri Manzil and of course Johnny Mera Naam, from where Raghavan's film derives its title. Revelling in its unflashiness, Johnny Gaddaar is stylish in a way that other films are not – its style lies in the ordinariness of the way crimes and murders are committed in the film. No fancy slo-mo shots, no piercing sound effects, just the immediacy of desperate crime. Raghavan scores big points on characterisation, he writes his every lead as a real, flesh-and-blood person, and then casts just the perfect actor for every role. Dharmendra as the mastermind behind the operation, Zakir Hussain as the crass club-owner, Vinay Pathak as the smarmy card-shark, and Neil Nitin Mukesh as the rookie, the youngest member of the gang – you couldn't find better actors to fill out these roles. Zakir Hussain in particular, stands out with a performance that is ingenious in every sense of the word. And Neil Nitin Mukesh makes an inspired debut; he's clearly an actor to look out for. If there's one problem and one problem alone with Johnny Gaddaar, it's the fact that the screenplay slips up in the second half. The film's about 30 minutes too long, and as a result, even the unpredictability becomes monotonous. It's a thriller very unlike his own previous film Ek Hasina Thi, and very unlike most thrillers you've seen recently. Watch it because it's that rare film that actually expects you to use your brain.",10
I was pleasantly surprised when I watched Wanda vision I was expecting it to be some sort of confusing super hero series but instead it felt like a mix of the avengers bewitched and maniac I am looking forward to ep 3,5
"I think it is amazing that ""There Will Be Blood"" and ""No Country for Old Men"" are two of the most boring and repulsive movies I have seen this year or any year, and they are the two films that have gotten the best reviews from movie critics this year.

The pacing of ""There Will Be Blood"" is very slow. None of the characters are likable, so I could never get interested in what happened to them.

Daniel Day Lewis' character is similar to the one he played in ""Gangs of New York,"" but that movie was more interesting because he was evil in contrast to the other characters. In this film, he has more in common with his rival and the film is mostly about how they are the same.

""There Will Be Blood"" was a very hard movie to sit through. Things happen very slowly and when they do happen, they are unpleasant. If that sounds like the kind of movie you like, then you might agree with the critics on this one.",2
"Season 1 was an EPIC masterpiece. The way the timeline was structured. The meaning behind every episode. EXCELLENT.

Season 2 - not as good at first, but gets better as it goes on.

SEASON 3 - WOW THAT IS TRASH.",5
This movie is the worst one I've seen in my entire life. Extremely boring and makes no sense whatsoever. If I had to watch this movie again I would go insane. The writer that wrote this movie must have been on drugs.,4
"Not entirely sure what all the hype around this show is... with the exception of one or two cast members the acting is poor, the special effects are laughable, and the storyline is neither great nor terrible, it's just... meh.

I normally love all of tim burton's work and even when i don't, at least from a design and aesthetics perspective, I find it interesting - admittedly, I'm probably not the target audience, my guess is that's more pre-teens and young teens, most likely to around 14 years old.

There are a few decent moments including the famous dance scene, but overall it just seems to be an over-hyped nothingness of a show, which is such a shame because it had so much potential.",5
One of the best foreign gangster movies! Dialogues are hilarious and characters outlandish which are great ingredients for a good gangster movie. See it!,10
"It's good in parts, but definitely not worth the hype.",5
"Downside: I wanted to leave the cinema after 1 hr to go study in the lobby (at 00:00)

Upside: I've learnt a great deal from this movie and it hasn't even ended yet( since i am writing this from the theater and the film is still on, they're fighting-what a surprise). I've learnt that culture isn't always positive. American culture with all its heroes, all its need to save innocent lives is just a hypocrisy trying to mask the atrocities US has committed through history. At least I thought it is going to be enjoyable, you can never really hate every single part of the movie. I learnt the contrary too. Idiotic screen writing, I could guess what they were about to say. Not even the actors could save this piece of excrement. I tried to sleep through it at some point thinking the pain will go away. My boyfriend is a fan and though I could hear his unsatisfied, thirsty, clenched anger, he wanted to see what happens so I had to stay. The reason I couldn't sleep is the fact that my anger started kicking in more and more every time I heard someone talk. People actually laughed once for like 3 seconds at this very idiotic joke. Now i might have some anger issues but this movie made me go full animal. Also very long. I wish IMDb had the ""attach photo"" option so i could immortalize my face's disgusted look and share it with the world.",1
"If you ignored the PC-stuff in the last movie, it was still a pretty enjoyable movie. But this? Nothing was coherent, it was too long, and it it wasn't until the very end that it delieved any decent action.",3
"I watched the first in the series, called ""Knives Out"", just a few days ago, it was a very good murder mystery. This movie is a massively hyped and heavily advertised ""sequel"", which has been getting good reviews with the critics.

This movie is so lacking in any of the ""cleverness"" of the first, it has a decent twist but once that is revealed that's it, the ending is just silly and there's no pay off.

For a movie that's supposedly in the ""murder mystery"" genre this is nothing more than a high budget dull ""drama"".

It's a real shame, I can't understand how this has happened, surely there are better murder mystery scripts out there ready to be used? This isn't clever, funny, heartwarming, or in fact anything other than good eye candy with great effects.

Do yourself a favour and avoid this, the hype is better than the reality.",3
"Marvel Comics have been having a dream run with their comics - turned to superhero flicks breaking box office records in the last few years and also have gained a worldwide fan foundation for the same. Captain America: Winter Soldier is the latest offering from them which is a sequel to Captain America: First Avenger which released in 2011. Now many might have an opinion that this might just be like the first part which was indeed termed as ""An Ordinary Superhero Movie"" and Captain America was also framed as the dullest character in the franchise that just came along with Tony Stark and Bruce Banners in The Avengers (2012) in a normal sidekick role. Well everyone, this movie has broken those jinxes and has re-incarnated Captain America in a very audacious and engaging way portraying the character's charisma in a radiant style.

The movie opens 2 years after the events of The Avengers and we are shown that Steve Rogers aka Captain America (Chris Evans) and Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) are working for S.H.I.E.L.D under the supervision of Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson). During the mission of saving S.H.I.E.L.D agents in a boat captured by pirates, Steve Rogers comes to know that the mission had some other motive in it about which he had not been informed. Suspicion gets rooted in him and he suspects that something else might be going big without the knowledge of S.H.I.E.L.D. The events turn Topsy turvy when Nick Fury faces life threat as group of assassins disguised as cops lead by powerful assassin known as the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) attack him while the blame for the same falls on the Captain America. Now we are introduced to Alexander Pierce (Robert Redford), a senior member of the S.H.I.E.L.D who had earlier worked along with Nick Fury who meets Captain America in private and in turn frames him as fugitive responsible for things going wide of the mark. From here the story kicks off into an action thriller with Captain America running for his life and also in search for the reasons for him being deceived. Sam Wilson aka Falcon (Anthony Mackie) joins with Captain America to bring out the truth behind the conspiracy which may become lethal for the world.

The movie works well from start to finish with everything rightly placed and paced with the correct momentum. Be it the conspire getting developed, the well cinematographic action/combat sequences and the twists in the plot, directors Anthony and Joe Russo along with screenplay writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have done a estimable work in keeping things intact which unfold at the right time keeping the audience hooked till the end.

Some of the most very attention-grabbing scenes in the movie would be the hand-to-hand combat clash between Captain America and Winter Soldier, The Elevator mash up and the well shot climax action sequences which paves way for each character in the movie to save and give their best for the last. The characters in the movie have been well designed and portrayed on the screen with everyone given equal importance in story and screenplay.

The movie has lots of surprises in it and sure to leave the viewer with a smile and anticipation for what is to come forth in the next sequel and furthermore if you haven't seen Captain America: First Avenger even once means please make sure that you are updated of its events and happening since both movies are interconnected else you may feel that this movie going out of league into another horizon. For fans of Marvel Universe, Superhero Action Flicks and most of all Avengers Franchise, this movie worth watching for its neat and best work and do stay till the final end credits.",9
"The cast was great. The direction was good. The story was great. The production was amazing. So, why did this movie leave me cold and why have I forgotten it after just two days?

It was ridiculously indulgent on the part of Scorcese. There were at least five or six scenes that were way too long. It was 210 minutes long and that was how long it felt. I think it would have had alot more impact had it been 150 minutes long. I kind of lost interest.",5

"I recently watched the 7-episode mini-series ""Mare of Easttown,"" produced in 2021. It offers a well-balanced mix of drama and crime, presenting police challenges and surrounding events in a compelling narrative.

The series unfolds a series of murders and follows the success of a detective as she navigates through a complex web of crime. While the cast boasts talented actors, it's Kate Winslet's performance that truly stands out, adding a distinctive layer to the storyline.

The drama delves into the intricacies of police work and the impact of events on the community. As the detective uncovers the truth behind multiple murders, the series weaves a captivating tale of suspense and mystery.",7
"Production and sets are good but the plot and stupid characters that can not solve any problem just in bad way. You can use this show as drinking game or facepalm generator. This is real space telenovela, every few minute there is some easy problem what normal human could solve in few seconds, but they no and after time it starts to be irritating.",3
"The Godfather 2 gives you more insight into Don's character as a young boy growing up in Sicily and America as well as the changes in Michael's life. The acting and casting are excellent. The music is dramatic and perfect. The plot and dialogue are interesting. This movie is one of the best, if the best ever, sequel that I have watched to date. Anybody who enjoyed the first Godfather movie would most likely enjoy watching this one as well.",10
I dont know why this movie didn't get a chance to win Oscar... I would say even today after almost 13 years from the release of this movie this movie still deserve a honourable mention in oscar or other reputed awards .. leave about award but this movie is a masterpiece the story the acting the topic ... Just mind-blowing... It will be less to compliment this movie in word .... In my whole life from James bond till Asian drama I have seen all kind of movies .. but this one made a difference in my heart thats what make this something to remember.... I love you Khan and I am not a terrorist. I am happy that human have this movie in their history.,10
"I saw the trailer and ""The Science Of Interstellar"" on Youtube and I felt compelled to watch the movie. Oh boy, the movie was such a disappointment. There no respect for science in Interstellar. The movie is a waste of time and money. It was without logic and too long. I don't understand how such an awful movie can have 9/10 stars. It's beyond my comprehension. The music is to loud and for nothing. There is no real tension. After reading the 10/10 reviews, I felt compelled to register an account on IMDb to say how awful the movie was. Stay way please or you'll regret it. From now on I will never rely on IMDb reviews when it comes to decide what to watch. IMDb, you disappointed me!",1
"Before I start this review, I want to tell a brief story. When I was 13, I got into a relationship with a wonderful girl, who just so happened to be my first girlfriend. We went through high school together, until the 4th of July 2008, I presented her with an engagement ring. I don't think I had a single doubt in my mind at that moment. Before the Christmas of 2008, we broke up, having been in a 5 year relationship. As of this review, I am 18 and still trying to get over what I thought would have been a great relationship. I tell this story not to be a downer; I tell it because it helped me understand the character in the movie so much more than I ever would have.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a brilliant comedy created by the Apatow team and written by Jason Segel, who plays the lovable Peter Bretter in the movie. Peter is in a relationship with the beautiful Sarah Marshall, played very well by Kristin Bell. Sarah Marshall is a famous actress on a hit TV show and Peter, her boyfriend, composes the music for the show. Peter's life is going swimmingly up until Sarah breaks up with him.

Peter, torn up by the relationship that should have been, gets told by his step brother, played by the very funny Bill Hader, that he should go out dating, and when that goes sour, go and relax somewhere nice. Peter goes to Hawaii to forget all about Sarah, but runs into her... and her new fling, famous British rock star Aldous Snow, played by the very rock star looking Russell Brand. Peter isn't adjusting much better, but a lovely hotel clerk, played by ""That 70's Show""'s Mila Kunis tries to help him adjust to a relationship he goes he can get out of.

I will admit, when I saw this movie in previews, I was skeptical, but the movie was earning rave reviews, and I had planned to watch it at sometime. Now that I am single, I feel like this movie spoke more to me than what it could have done if I was still in a relationship. The moments with Peter's sadness was probably done for humor; I honestly felt myself laugh for a few seconds, then literally go ""Aw"" right after all of that. I honestly felt like Peter up until I saw this movie.

That's what makes Apatow's comedy better than any National Lampoon sex comedy out on the market, it's made with real people in mind. Peter isn't sex crazed, he's just trying to get over a relationship, and he's surrounded by people that are kind and real. There are cynics and skeptics who will probably argue that no one should have acted as mopey as Peter did, and he should have sucked it up. They haven't been in a relationship for a really long time, I would imagine.

I liked this movie because it had heart and soul. There are very few movies that can make you laugh and feel sad almost at the same time, and with this movie, I nearly felt all the emotions of the emotional spectrum. This is a great movie, for romance lovers, for rocky relationships, for couples (be aware there are some naughty bits in there) or for people who want to laugh at people that are as real as you and me.

I give this movie a 9/10.",9
"The first Avengers film was not quite a good movie, but it was a marvel of narrative efficiency with Whedon job mostly reduced to keep as many balls rolling as he can while adding some grace notes in the sidelines (in some ways it was the high point of early Marvel aesthetics of combining a bland surface and undervalued quirk personalities to add some flavor to it, a formula they seem to have mostly abandon this past 2 years after deciding people enjoy those bland surfaces well enough). Age of Ultron is a good deal more ambitious which unfortunate is part of its limitations. The plot is more character based with Whedon putting a futile earnest effort to serve a dozen actors well and there's some genuine desire to dig into American exceptionalism (not always with success) and build things around its characters eminent loneliness. The final result is just a huge mess, it is both overlong and feels like at least half hour worth of connective scenes that needed to be there got cut. It has no sense of how to move from one big setpiece to the next. Plots that are important either seem to come out of nowhere or get dropped without resolution, for instance it is good to see Whedon actually trying to do something with Iron Man's past as an arms merchant but I can only assume a big scene between him and the twins end up on the cutting room floor and without the whole subplot goes nowhere (overall this ilm seem to equal givenhints of things of actually use them to add depth). The action is way too chaotic and this is such a comic book film it often confounds angsty melodrama for character work. There is way too much heroes fighting heroes scenes (that said the nerd inside me will never be against the 50 year honored Avengers tradition of Iron Man trying to take a short cut, Captain America getting all self-righteous about it, they coming to blows and Thor getting to settle it). The last act is very questionable politically, but it is good to get a Marvel film that at least puts some actual stakes into saving people over simple destroying things. I also enjoy how Whedon uses Hawkeye's guy with a bow and arrow number to ground the action even if his script gets to cute overexplaning what he is doing. If this felt under control it might have amount to something but as it stand it is the a lot of cliff notes that go nowhere.",4
"Boy, I am glad I downloaded this movie instead of buying it. After all the hype around it (even on this website, it is currently rated at 8/10 stars), I would have thought it was the best movie of 2013. But as I began to watch the film, I started wondering how on Earth (no pun intended) this movie could have possible been nominated for accolades such as Best Picture and Best Director.

The first thing that struck out to me were the physical impossibilities rampant throughout the film. Ryan, the protagonist, flies off of the space arm and spins off into space, yet somehow a mere ten seconds later, her spin has slowed considerably. Or what about how the parachute opens later in the movie IN SPACE. That is impossible!

Perhaps the biggest fault in the movie was simply how unlikely the entire plot was. A chunk of debris is flying around the earth at 6 miles per second? No way can you spot that with your naked eye, and no way EACH AND EVERY satellite and space station orbiting the earth just happens to orbit along the same path. No way Ryan would be able to move from one space station to another. No way.

My biggest complaint with the film was how emotional unstable Ryan was. How did she manage to get selected to go into space with only six months of training and a recently deceased daughter? For the amount of hysterics and silly monologue viewers must endure, one can only come to the conclusion that Ryan is not suitable for being an astronaut and would have never been chosen in the first place.

To end on a positive note, the graphics were quite good, like most other reviews claim. I was impressed with the space stations and the depiction of earth.

In conclusion, do not waste your time on this so-called ""Greatest Space Movie Of All Time"".",2
"As you can see by my rating and summary, i like.... no love this show. I believe this show is possibly the greatest television program to be created along side 'Breaking Bad','OZ' and 'Game Of Thrones'. However unlike 'Breaking Bad' it doesn't have bad season finales, the ending to season two of 'Hannibal' was the most unpredictable moments of any show, not to give anything away though.

Mads Mikkelsen portrayal of Hannibal does Anthony Hopkins proud and more, his chilling performance is breathtaking and his mind games even greater than in 'Silence of The Lambs', however season two was so great to me because of Mason Verger, the link between the books was tied with him and Micheal Pitt became him so well, and his joker style messed up- ness was a amazing add on, and one particular scene with dogs (no spoiler) was so messed up it was eye-wateringly good.

For season three look forward to seeing verger again and seeing more of Gillian Anderson and a emotional development in her character.",10
"THAT guy....

Eddy Brock and his best friend continued to save the world. Let's be straight: the first Venom movie was not good, but I still enjoyed it because of the humor. However, this movie managed to take away a lot of that comedy and created a plot that was even worse than the first one. There were so many plot conveniences that rushed the movie forward. Our main villain is just another crazy dude, nothing more than that.

Of course they kept the PG-13 rating. Man Venom would be SO fun if there's gore. It pissed me off that these production companies wanted some good bucks instead of making a competent movie. The camera editing were just all over the place. I can barely comprehend what was going on. This made the action scenes messy with no fun.

Even worse, the relationship between Eddy and Venom evolved in such a cringe way. Not all the humors landed, which was disappointing. Their relationship carried the first movie, but this time there's just no way.

Obviously the post credit scene, which was surprising to many. However, considering how much of a joke Venom is, I'm not so optimistic about this decision.

Overall, just a messy disappointment. You can basically watch the post credit scene on YouTube or something and skip this movie. 3.5/10.

Go watch Titane instead, that's an actual good movie.",4
"They gave us a typical detective flick, infused it with Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston, and it gave us a really enjoyable film. Adam and Jennifer have great chemistry together and figuring out who actually was the killer wasn't too straightforward to ascertain, so it kept you guessing. I was expecting this to be ultimately average, but this was actually really fun! I'd definitely recommend to anyone who loves a good comedy, and I am definitely a sucker for a good Sandler flick. It's the kind of movie I would probably watch again at some point once I've forgotten exactly whodunnit, because it was a very enjoyable film.",6
"So as per me its not too much off thrilling, jaw dropping, or something extraordinery . I feel its too much off extras in the whole sessions episodes , you will genuinely feel like really , no man , u must be kidding .

The only positive and good thing i liked about the series was i loved nadia planning but that also doesn't make any sense when its too late fr the series... So my rating as per the good actings and the 1st episode and last episode which was really good i will give 7/10.",7
"Absolutely as disgustingly dark and morbid a film my wife and I have seen in a very long time...perhaps the most ever. A film laden with anger, one that exploits children and brings out gratuitous violence in ways that surely excite the most twisted and demented in our society...adding to the social ills that continue to plague humanity. Oh, by the way, we are long time Marvel and DC fans, but this is a franchise we will no longer blindly support.",1
"Nagraj Manjule is a visionary. He told very simple story in very attractive way and everyone can relate their life to this film.

This experience gives you an opportunity to meet classic play direction. It makes you to think how to find out excellency from ordinary guys who hadn't act before before camera. Story, screenplay, music, acting, cinematography etc. Everything is superior classic.

Go ahead and watch the movie.",10
"""Super Bad"" is great until the moment the two policemen appears, from that scene it stop being clever to become just a funny movie that is only looking for the easy laugh (like most of the comedies we are used to watch), that is not a bad thing, I like that kind of comedy too, but the problem is that ""Super Bad"" promised much more of what it finally delivers, it could been the best teen boys comedy movie ever, which dealt with the boys interest in the opposite sex. I think this movie deserves an average of 6.8 stars.

The star of the film is Jonah Hill who is very good as the smart ass Seth (who is very funny making jokes and comments), on the other hand I didn't like the character Evan, this character is so annoying (he could haven been made not so naive). Christopher Mintz-Plasse was great playing the Fogell character, I enjoyed every moment he was on screen because he is very funny in a rare way like mr bean.

The plot is about two best friends Seth and Evan with a secondary character Fogell who have their last chance to lose their virginity at a party before going to the university. They will have to face problems taking a lot of beer to the party in order to have sex with pretty girls.

I recommend watching it because is very funny, despite the two policemen characters who are funny too but the didn't belong to this film. Enjoy it.",6
"I have not read the books nor played the game. I admit I had to watch YouTube videos explaining each episode, but regardless I loved the show. The story is very interesting. Familiar but still different. You are dragged in it from the start and very soon you almost feel like it's legit history of long lost civilizations. Different timeliness are confusing at the beginning but eventually it all makes sense. There's no bad acting. All actors were very good. Henry especially. The fact he is a true fan of the books and the game made him perfect Geralt. The only reason it's 9 and not 10 is the fact there are no introduction to the story in some way so first few episodes are confusing if you did not reed the books or played the game.",9
"So Thor's every line is stand up comedy.

"I have to admit, thoroughly enjoyed the first season of the adaptation. This is so much better than the books so, kudos to the production team! The book translations are so tedious and awkward, it's hard to read them even though I love Fantasy stories. Could never understand why they were best sellers. The actors chosen to play characters were very well picked, too. The only 2 nitpicks I have are these: It would have been helpful for people who have not read the books to give some kind of indication that the scenes with Geralt in them were happening in the past and the ones with Ciri were the ""present"" / future and that the two timelines were on a converging course. It took my husband too many episodes to figure it out (I did not clue him in) and as a result he was quite confused as to what was happening. The second nitpick is the use of the word ""f"" in this series (AND in the books). It just doesn't fit this type of story. I'm sorry... Every time Geralt or someone else utters it, it just sounds so contrived and fake, totally jarring with the reality of the story around. And no, I'm not a prude, I use it all the time.",9

From there it drags on for another hour with nothing an experienced viewer hasn't seen multiple times before.",2

It was recommeded to me, and I went in hoping for another great Coen story, and I got... well, nothing much. OK, a little weirdness with those irritating accents, a whole bunch of blood in a few places, but... As you can see, I'm having a tough time coming up with something to SAY about this... BORING piece. I hate to say it, but despite what some have impled, intelligence has NOTHING to do with watching this film, and I am very disappointed. In fact, the Big Lebowski was even worse, and I hope that the last two films are not a sign of deterioration in a previously great Coen brothers duo.",5
"This is hands down one of the best sci-fi shows in history, it wasn't always perfect but the good almost always outweighed the bad.",10
"Argo showcases the little-known Canadian Caper during the Iranian Hostage Crisis of 1979-81. Six US embassy workers had managed to escape capture and were secretly hosted by the Canadian ambassador and another Canadian embassy worker. After about three months, all US citizens managed to escape with fake passports on an ordinary scheduled flight. Nice story, happy ending. What adds some zazz to the story is that an elaborate cover story was created, in which the group of Americans had been scouting in Iran for a film location for a cheesy sci-fi flick. To corroborate this, a film script was created (or actually, re-used), a production company was set up, ads were put in Vanity Fair.

Fantastic story, but one that doesn't actually translate well into a movie. The storming of the embassy creates the movie's only visually dramatic scene. The agony of spending three months in a fairly cushy prison doesn't come across well on the big screen. The same goes for the setting up of the Hollywood back story. The film then tries to create a second dramatic highlight when the group has to go through passport control before boarding the plane, and it does so with lots of old-fashioned Hollywood cheese. In the end, the plane is chased across the runway by cars full of gun-wielding soldiers but manages to take off. Whew!

Argo isn't terribly bad or anything, it's just unremarkable.",4
"It is a good show, but not as great as reviews are here...

is it rated high being an Amazon Prime show?",8
"i really do not understand that how people say it is a masterpiece it is a piece of faeces... plagiarism from matrix.. the high rates are just about some fans of mr Leonardo dicaprio? yes of course the wet girls who like him vote 10 always..they don't watch the film, they watch their potential dream boy..the film is really very boring and i couldn't wait until it finished and i think the points will be in a decreasing line in future..worthless film waste of time..and it is an insult to the films really deserve high points..the perception of reality is the same in matrix and this must be discussed by the people who watched this film.this is about money and advertisement of such Hollywood films they have the ability to show a bad film as a good one..",1
"I love history and World War II especially, so I thoroughly enjoyed the historical aspects, realism, etc. The air battle aspects were very good (Stuka dive bombers, Henkel bombers, Messerschmidts, and Spitfires). The story related to the small boat that came over to Dunkirk was very good. However most of the coverage of Brits wanting to escape showed them to be almost to a man, self-serving, uncaring (about others), etc. and although that's human nature, it did not put them in a very good light, and perhaps unfairly. There were supposedly 400,000 men looking to escape from Dunkirk, but even in this CGI age I don't think they ever showed a beach shot with more than one or two thousand men on it. And I don't think the most encompassing shot of small boats from England ever had more than 15 or so boats in it. I just don't get why they did not create what I would assume to be a more realistic picture of the magnitude of the effort. Finally, the story was not ""linear,"" i.e. we figured out later that they were showing the same dive bombing or other event all over again from a different perspective (but minutes, not seconds later), or the same person hours before. I'm open to such approaches, but IMO it did not help with the story much. So all in all, I'm glad that I saw it but was hoping for a bit more. The air warfare was the best part. I guess I think the best parts are those that showed men the most willing to sacrifice and who displayed the most honor and selflessness. Perhaps in this day and age that's not so much in vogue.",7
"Beautifully shot, designed and produced, as was the first, the second season is a supremely boring talkfest without tension or action.

Apart from the fact that history's been bent, this should come with a historical featurette explaining the political and religious differences between the reigns of Mary I and Elizabeth I, without which context much of what takes place might as well be happening on Mars.

Pity.",2
"Someone failed big time, no rephrase that, Hollywood failed big time. I don't know how this even got past screening. I would award more points to the effects teams who had a lot to do with this garbage film. I really love Tom Hardy's abilities and he was a slight saving grace to this trash-fire. The worst part is the writing, none of it makes sense.

It shows throughout that Hollywood doesn't know how to write anymore, the dialogue is bad, and their understanding of these characters are not there. All the lessons from the first are thrown out entirely, and everything that was great from the first are not here for the sequel.

For some reason it's not about telling a good story, or having fun with making a movie, it's about ""narratives"" and using their ""platforms"" to spin some garbage narrative that doesn't fit reality, or even fiction. It's too impossible not to tell you how bad this movie is without spoiling it all, but the fact of the matter is - if you loved the first- Do Not See This.",1
"Ashok Selvan never disappoints me with his projects. I literally love his choice of selection. This movie is also so good. Talking about Sarathkumar, I don't need to tell anything. He is a legendary actor. Respect as always. Other cast is so wonderful and it is totally a worth watching movie. They bring the suspense to it's utmost level. Storyline is beautiful. That's how a suspens thriller should be made. Back story is quite touching. That also gives a message to the society. Costume, choreography, bgm is also beautiful. No unnecessary songs here. Time related comedy is made. At least you never feel bored. Highly recommended.",9
"I've seen some people comparing this piece of garbage to John Wick, because of the fight choreography. John Wick was interesting, because it explores a whole new world of secret assassins, and is done masterfully, without taking itself too seriously. The character is mysterious and yet interesting, well built. This thing is garbage. Presents itself as a serious movie, but we get no real idea of who is who, why people do stuff, who wants to kill the kid and who wants to save it. I had to skip a lot, it's unbearable, so I'm gonna wrap this up. If you want to see good action scenes - watch John Wick (1) and save yourself the time.",3
"The movie feels like it was going for a 'Black Swan' meets 'Salt' meets 'The recruit'. It might sound like a good thing to aim for but sadly the movie feels like the boring part of those 3 movies.

To be fair, they have tried and everyone has done a decent job but sadly, overall it falls short.",6
"The first I have watched from Amazon Prime, and boy, is it a blast. Amazing, amazing, amazing..

"I finished watching this almost a month ago and I am still thinking about bits of dialogue, scenes, the cinemetography. A fantastic program that's incredibly adictive - you can't just stop at one episode! As much as I want to see more of this type of television, I hope they don't make a third series as it finished perfectly.",8
"If you have appreciated a couple of Quentin Tarantino's former films, you may be disappointed with this one. There is very little plot to speak of, and there are long drawn-out scenes that don't add anything to a storyline, such as watching Brad Pitt drive for several minutes. That's it, just driving. The movie is so scattered, random, and slow. The movie then completely veers off into a tale of Charles Manson, the commune, and Sharon Tate, which I found completely unnerving, disgusting, completely tasteless, and utterly disrespectful to those who are slaughtered in that insane situation, only to be parodied in Tarantino's shameful offering to the Industries consumers. It really makes me wonder how this piece of work received such high ratings. It must have taken a lot of promises and a lot of cash.",4

OK: where did they get all those cars from a time where no cars survived? That is the only reason for a 2 otherwise it would have been a 1 show.

Why did they kill the poor Cook?

Why does the police chief keep his finger in the trigger all the time?

Why is the story predictable?

Why is it so boring?

Why put a 1,5h Movie in a 8 hour series?

Why are so many questions unanswered?

Why can the girl shoot the monster 12 times with a six shooter?

Why is everything back to normal after Will gets back and the whole different dimension stuff seems to bother nobody?

Why are all the characters so shallow?

"Well I watched its very first season just one month ago ..during lockdown period and i think it is one of the most thoughtful ans serious series , i have ever watched... this series totally covered every situation (bullies) that a teenager can face and how they can go in wrong way in their life..it is a very serious series and gives us an understanding that we should never judge anyone without knowing what is going on in their life.. never hurt anyone purposely..maybe it does not affect us but it can affect a-lot in others life..everyone's life is valuable.. At least we can try to be less judgmental..:) .i definitely recommend it to everyone.",8

"So sad that Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams and Riz Ahmed are wasted in film that is so impressed by its cool look and overbearing soundtrack that it doesn't realise the story is bits and pieces from other, better, sources.

"Amsterdam comes roaring out of the gate with a fast-paced, quirky, charming, and unique mystery of the likes of Sherlock Holmes or Knives Out. The list of celebrities and actors continues to grow as almost every face in this movie is another a-lister making an entertaining appearance. I was so excited to see what happened next and was surprised when the story suddenly screeched to a halt for a very long slow flashback that didn't offer much to the plot. I hoped the exciting pace would return when the story returned to its original narrative, but the risk and urgency had been replaced by a scattered collection of arbitrary dialogue and scenes that lingered much longer than needed. The pacing lagged almost an hour before ramping back up in the final act. Amsterdam had so much potential but floundered in its attempts to be different and unique. The film's best part was Michael Shannon and Mike Myers' quirky bird-loving spies. Every time they were on the screen, I couldn't help but laugh. Christian Bale logged another amazing performance, as expected. But even with entertaining characters, great performances, and an exciting opening and conclusion, Amsterdam fumbled all its fantastic elements and ended up making my eyes heavy and my heart yearn to go to bed early.",6

"Film ambles slowly and depressingly to...no where! It only just picks up when the film ends. Very disappointing and a bit of a mismatch. Hoped it would be a love story but it was not. Shames as I usually like Bill Murray. Very improbable plot and little other information ie with the respective partners. Where was the leading lady's husband, he was in and out only fleetingly. Not enough deep dialogue for my liking and therefore the film did not fit into any real category.As there was little action, I would have hoped for better topics of conversation between the two leading characters. The dialogue was pretty shallow really and I am not sure what the film was trying to achieve. I was left disappointed and empty as this film was quite long in duration. At the time it started to take off and Bill Murray was making some real decision (or so I was hoping he would), in the end he didn't! The ending was the biggest disappointment of all. Missed a great opportunity to turn things around and I would not have felt unhappy at sitting through that first 90 minutes. When the opportunity arose to so something inspiring - it ended!",2
"After I watched the whole movie, the thing really popped up in my head was: this is a love story. It is got fewer to do with being a hero beating bad guys saving the world and stuff, but more about human conditions and emotions. My favorite scene is when Eddie was heart broken by the fact that Anne was going to marry Dan, venom tried to cheer him up in the morning by cooking and doing the chores. It is full of companionship and so very warm. Eddie as a character is easy to relate since he is not nearly perfect. He hurt venom when he was hurting, which is ugly but also very easy to relate. So mostly the plot is one of a love story and the movie brought a smile on my face. For a marvel hero movie, I can ask no more.",9
"I was really hoping for a good movie. But it was lame. Not exciting, not scary, not new at anything. Lead actress looks like an old(er) woman. Weird that she hangs out with young boys. She even lies in bed with a boy. Later it seems they are teens of the same age. The story is not new, not interesting and not credible. Stupid teens summon spirits and somehow know exactly how to do it, and how to time it. Yaaaawn. It never even gets a little bit scary. It just goes on and on. It started boring, and never got better, I turned the movie off after one hour. I skipped parts until the end, and I missed absolutely nothing. I wont watch this again even if I get paid for it.",1
"Well i think i probably haven't added anything to what the other have wrote but actually here are some of my thoughts about the anime

This anime contains almost everything needed, it has a good and captivating story-line. It stays on the story-line in every show and has its good combination of sci-fi, romance, comedy and mystery. the proportions of these factors are chosen in an expert way which makes this anime keep you watching it till the end while keep you guessing from time to time.

I felt like it had a little slow start but i'd say it doesn't affect the richness of the series.

This anime is actually one of my favorite one. and i hope to see if they make a second one. but chances seem pretty slim.

Oh and a personal request please if any of you know some good anime specially in Sci-fi and mystery a reply would be very much appreciated",9
"Good ; Beautiful cinematography and good acting from DiCaprio. Good soundtrack.

Bad : Not a comedy - I laughed aloud maybe once and only in incredulity.

The violence was sickening and I honestly think it shouldn't be allowed to be shown - but this is a society wide problem. People must be sick in the head to be able to watch that and not cover their eyes and stop their ears. I don't understand why Tarantino is celebrated, nor why violence on screen is celebrated in this culture.

Margot Robbie wasted in a role which wasn't a role. All she got to do was smile and look pretty.

Pace was draggingly slow. Seems like it was a vanity project for the director. All in all I think cinema is a dying art form, no longer for the masses (that's Netflix now) but a niche interest, like opera.

Last time I go to see something that a film critic describes as an ""oddball black comedy""!",3
"147 minutes! Does it sound longer to sit and witness a single night's event? If you are an indian movies follower, does it sound boring to watch a movie which doesn't have a female lead or any songs to tap our feet? Huh. If you have any more of such doubts, take my answer. This movie is utterly impressive and absolutely worthy of your time and money. Lokesh Kanagaraj who made Managaram which again was a thrilling tale of few characters in one night. It was perfectly casted and made as a complete film and hence all eyes were on Kaithi. Lokesh had just arrested me with his screen writing and treating every scene with so much conviction to blow audience's mind completely. The cast again was topnotch. The constable Napolean (Maryan), Anbu (Arjun das), Inspector (Naren) and every little character was so tailor made for everyone respectively. It gave a fresh sense of viewing the movie as the buzz it creates right from scene one was perfectly fitting. Except for a slight (very minimal) slump in second half which was actually unavoidable to have the story completed, the movie was amazingly well crafted to it true genre. Loved this movie and look forward to next avenues of Lokesh as he seem to be one of the greatest asset to Indian cinema already.",10
"After watching the first episode, I thought ""pretty boring."" Two months later I was searching for something to watch and decided I would give it another go. For the most part, I'm glad I did. Even watching the first episode was not as ""boring"" as I had first perceived it to be. Everything rolled along smoothly and I enjoyed each episode. I particularly liked female Loki (I'm surprised that so many reviewer did not). Finally got to the last episode and was so disappointed that the whole season had been nothing but a tease for what most likely will be future movies/series. There was no meaningful closure or resolution... just a sort of To Be Continued type of feel. Sigh! How disappointing.",6
Michael Bay please stop making movies. This was a total wreck from the start. Your directing is horrible and incoherent. Can you please leave the camera still for more than 2 seconds? If it wasn't for Ryan Reynolds I wouldn't have even tried watching this. I would give it 0 stars but IMDb won't let me. 👎👎,1
Pretty boring second season and wow you can't even binge watch it since they don't put out all the episodes...really disappointed.,5
"When I saw the trailer of ""Argo,"" I already felt like the whole story was already shown. I did not feel like I wanted to watch it. The story of rescuing hostages in Iran by pretending they were shooting a movie is simply unbelievable. The star and director was one of my least favorite Hollywood actors, Ben Affleck. However, curiosity still got the better of me when nothing but stellar reviews came out when it was shown. There was even talk of Oscar nominations! This I had to see.

Ben Affleck plays Tony Mendez who came up with this wild idea. He plays it smartly low key in the whole movie. But in that key scene where he announces his idea in the first place, I still feel that Ben was deficient as the lead actor. I would not have been sold the way he delivered the critical line about his suggestion to film a fake movie. It is great though that the rest of the supporting cast succeeded very well in their respective roles. Alan Arkin and John Goodman were very funny as the Hollywood people who help Ben hatch the fake absurd sci-fi project which they dubbed ""Argo.""

The story is still as unbelievable as I thought. The whole scheme felt so shallow and lame, something only a B-movie producer would greenlight. We are talking about rescuing Americans trapped in Iran in the 70s under the Ayatollah Khoemeini here, and all they can come with was something as ridiculous and far-fetched as this one. But I guess what they say is true, that truth is stranger than fiction.

Fortunately, Ben Affleck the director was able to sell the whole movie to us in a very tight, tense and assured way. The climactic sequence of the escape proper was done in a rather clichéd Hollywood-y manner, but you can't help but hang on to the edge of your seats. The film editing, the very late 70s style cinematography, the realistic set and costume design all contribute to the success of story telling.

This is a very good suspense thriller yes, but to call it the next Oscar Best Picture I think is over reaching a bit. Like ""The Town"" before this, Ben Affleck has improved as a director, but the Oscar for Best Director for ""Argo"" may also be too much of an ambition. Nominations for both categories though are real possibilities, but are more certain in the Supporting Actor and the technical categories.",7
"I have read so good comments for this movie so far... and I have to say I'm surprised. When I went to the cinema I was hoping for a great action movie, as the first part seemed to me, but I have to say I found the movie very boring and was wishing for it to finish long before the end. The acting was quite poor for me and the characters' reactions and wishes didn't make much sense to me.

Moreover, the action scenes where very confusing and messy and didn't flow with the plot, they where just forced in for the sake of some action. So many things didn't need (or so the director thought) further explanation/justification and broke the logic/reality/former plot with no sense.

All in all, for me a disappointing movie from every point of view.",5
"Went through the whole first season, here's what I got (no spoilers):

There is an obvious and deliberate through story. I would call this more of a mini series instead of just a series. Without spoilers, I did guess the main end reveal in the very first episode.

The production design is awesome and I believe it was only the first couple of episodes that Tim Burton directed and it showed. That is what I gave the 6/10 for. Had it not been for that I would have given the first season a 4. Here's the problem; the entire through-plot could have been any series, any characters, any time and place, and anywhere. The plot has nothing inherently specific to do with the Adams family I know from the television series and the movie in the 90s. It's so random. The entire plot could service a western, could have been an episode of magnum PI, could have been a movie about a cult, or could have been an episode of saved by the bell. That's my main problem with this series. It felt like someone submitted a story concept with outlines to Hollywood, then shelved it, then attached the Adams family to it at a letter date, changed some character specific plot devices and called it a day.

The series is nice to watch, is gorgeous, and has serviceable acting. The Wednesday characters seems like she is on the bleeding edge of straying from character type and just being a normal trope that progresses the plot as described above. I would like to see Jenna Ortega is a few more things before attributing her performance as unintentionally wooden. It's the same problem with Brent Spiner playing data in Star Trek TNG, is he good at playing a robot, or just a good actor in general?

The roommate is useless and does nothing in the entire series except for the last moment. But she still had nothing to do with the series. You could have taken her out and nothing the driving the plot would have been sacrificed. There is absolutely no reason for Christina Ricci to be in this series other than fan service, she does nothing, although she gave me a little (fleeting) chuckle in the last episode.

Is it entertaining? Absolutely. If you're here for Christina Ricci then skip it, if you're here for the Adams family, skip it, if you're here for rehashed tropes of Harry Potter, twilight, and stranger things, all a lot better and more original source material, then you're good.",6

"Holy $hit the last 3 episodes of season 3 are some of the worst episodes in a series that I have ever seen! Episode 7 is nothing but Ciri lost in the desert, hallucinating and running around screaming. Worst episode of anything I have ever seen! We literally just started fast forwarding to see if there was going to be any action or anything interesting. How the hell is this series called The Witcher when the Witcher does the least and gets the least amount of screen time!? Cavill is right to call it quits with this declining garbage of a series! Of course, the men are now all sissies and the women are all the leaders and tough ones. It's straight up BS and just the norm in film making now. Make all the men look weak and stupid, and all of the women are so smart and tough! Let me know the next time we go to war and send a bunch of women... I won't be watching any more of this lame series when it comes back for season four.",2
"I had heard of this show for quite a while yet never had the inclination to watch. But then, I had the opportunity to do so and basically binged all 3 seasons in a week. Once I was done I started to read the reviews and I must say I agree with many of them.

Obviously, this is a very well made show and season 1 is the best of course but season 2 also satisfied me with a neat and effective resolution. And then came 3 and as most will agree, this is 1 too many.

Not only was the premise of this show only based on one great idea which had ran its course but also, the tone and the characters changed drastically starting with season 3. The new story which is really a rehash of the previous one became too convoluted and felt like a reheated lasagna past its expiration date.

If they had started with a totally fresh story it might have worked but it felt too similar as if starting over with a slightly different approach could make things seem all new again.

I found season 3 to be quite painful to sit through because not only the delicious mystery present in 1 and 2 has vanished replaced by a sort of ""dramedy"" with the cast of characters seeming to struggle in their new quest to stay relevant.

If season 3 had been the first, it might not have suffered as much in comparison with the 2 great seasons that preceded it but coming after such amazing and groundbreaking work, 3 has an indisputable feeling of been there done that.

For this reason, even though I would rate season 1 a perfect 10 and season 2 a very strong 9, season 3 brings down my final rating to 6 stars. Still worth a watch but if you skip 3 altogether, you won't miss much of anything.",6
"I had high hopes for this film, with the ensemble cast and everything. Turns out it is just disappointing. I gave 5/10 just for the set and the photography. Basically a whodunnit ""mystery"" with a totally predictable plot and outcome.

I guess somebody had a (bad) heureka moment of doing a Poirot-like crime mystery. I suggest watching a real Poirot or other decent private investigator film instead of this total waste of two hours. Also, Daniel Craig is in a completely wrong film and role, with a laughable accent. I feel sorry for him.

But the craziest idea is, as it seems to be, to make a *sequel* to this nothingness. And it's also ridiculous - but totally fitting for an American movie - to have a fr***ng CAR CHASE in a mystery film that happens in a mansion!",5
"Some other reviews are a bit overboard and have no substance. My personal view on this series is it kept me calm and relaxed at difficult times In my life. I love Steve Martin, the cast are great and the synergy is on point. I love the story of each season, the calming music and funny lines. I feel like many of the characters resonate with our own lives at some point, I'm glad there is a Season 4, as the series story suggests the show must go on, despite potential negativity, it's true to its own words. Whoever put this together is very artistic and has helped created amazing characters, I hope this continues for many years to come.",10
"For the record I did watch the original tv series and the movies with Christina Ricci so I do get the complaints about this not being exactly what purists were expecting. It is easy to compare to Harry Potter but then any show that takes place in a mystical school setting for the next decade is going to be compared to Harry Potter so unless you want all shows of this type to not be set in schools then it is something we all have to live with. What I liked about this is what alot of Addam's Family purists didn't. This was strictly a story about Wednesday Addams and not about her family who all just appeared in cameos. This is in large part a coming of age for Wednesday who neither fits in in the ""outcast"" boarding school she goes to or the ""normie"" town that surrounds it but finds herself making friends in both despite her best intentions while trying to solve the mystery of who is killing people around town. To anyone who says ""this isn't the Addams Family"" I say so what? Each showrunner has the right to show their own interpretation of what came before and if everyone wrote the same exact story it would get boring after awhile.",8
"I don't know what film people saw, but I saw an overhyped, weak plotted, tedious film that even hemsworth couldn't revive. We called it 50minutes in as watching it became hard work. It's being pushed left, right and centre on my news feed and many of the 9, 10 reviews on here appear to be fake (I know, I know most are on here). This was a swing and a miss for me. I just don't get it",3

"I'm mad because I waited until now to watch this movie due to all the bad reviews and press. I've was immediately intrigued by the premise of this movie however, I waited until now to watch it because everything I had heard about it was bad. I've had plenty of chances to watch it, on flights and various streaming sources, yet I always watched something else.l until my wife wanted to. Turns out, I loved the movie.

It has been a while since I've been as emotionally invested in a character. To be honest, I'm not a Jennifer Lawrence fan. Sure, she seems like she would be a great person and fun to party with, but I've never been a fan of her acting until now.

On top of all of this, I was surprised how wrong I was about the conclusion of this movie. I had heard that it had a predictable plot and my wife and I both struggled to figure out her allegiance and how it ended.

Overall I would actually give this movie a 8/10 but since I feel like others have been as misled as I have I bumped it up one star to help bring the rating to what it should be. Fantastic movie",9
"I love most marvel movies and series, but this one was horrible. All the comedy episodes are super boring and the plot takes forever to Pick up some speed. The worst marvel series I have seen so far.",3
"Thought the show was much better than I expected, was genuinely pleased. Main complaint is that even as someone who read the books the time line is confusing and hard to follow. Overall really pleased how they covered the stories and the characters. If season 2 irons out the kinks it could be a really great show.",9
"Jenna does an admirable job and the TV series has promise but if you were ever an Adam's Family fan, you will find this TV series difficult to swallow. I especially can't Believe that anybody thought it would be a good idea to cast Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams. I always thought of Morticia as a half dead shell of a person whose cold demeanor provided the foundation for the family. Catherine Zeta-Jones is just too friendly and plump. But to be fair maybe it wasn't her idea to play Morticia this way. And she's not the only disappointment of the series, Luis Guzmán plays the character of Gomez Adams. While Luis does a believable job it just doesn't quite drive home. He's just Not as confident as you would expect Gomez Adams to be.

All that said, it's not a bad series. It's just not the Adams family we grew up with. My kids like it... but they're 6 and 8.",2
I finished this movie in 6 sittings...it was rather painful. A lot happening but not enough to hold my attention. It looked like it should have been cool but it never quite got there for me.,5
"I enjoyed the first season a decent bit. Overall the production quality is good, though not very 'even'. Sometimes it is amazing, sometimes quite mediocre, sometimes the choreography & effects are great, other times quite mediocre, sometimes the filming is great, other times very mediocre, etc.

I think they should have done the writing and the pacing of the story differently. In some episodes there are quite dramatic events happening- and you just dont care. Okay, some person is dying, oh how sad it is. Except it isnt, because why would i care about that character? Why are they filming it in a way as if they think it is dramatic for me? It isnt, i barely know what character that is. The very first episode suffers from this, though later episides kind of ""fill you in"" on why you should care, and stuff. But thats what i am saying, this mixed pacing of the different characters, the mixing timelines, it isnt done very well IMO. They should have done it differently, maybe even skipping the whole Ciri storyline the first season, and focus more on Geralt and Yennefer, maybe just doing Ciri at the end.

I think they should have done casting a bit differently. The actress who plays Yennefer is doing the best she can, but she is the wrong person for the role, Yennefer should be a much older actress, not some teenager/ young adult, they shouldve picked someone in their 30's/ 40's for the role, used the character in the video game for inspiration.

Acting is mostly quite good, and there is quite a bit of humour in this show, which i like. Though it sometimes feels like the directing is quite bad, so the acting comes across as being 'awkward' at times, if i had to pick a word.

As the title says, this isnt game of thrones. I already mentioned the timelines, the format of the show from episide to episode is different from GoT. This is still an ""adult"" show, like GoT, there is gore, nudity and swearing. I know the books tackle some 'adult' themes as well, and some of them are touched upon in the first season as well, but i feel like some of them could have been done a bit better in the show, with better writing, directing and casting. This show also has way more focus on fantasy and the supernatural compared to GoT. The word 'destiny' will appear a lot in this show. I would say the Witcher is kind of like a mix between Buffy the vampire slayer and Game of Thrones. If that makes sense.

Overall a positive score for me, but i think some of the choices they made here in the first season were the wrong ones, and they cant really be fixed for a 2nd season. So thats a shame.",7
"As a huge creature from the black lagoon fan I thought I was in for some cool creature feature movie but alas it turns out to be a romantic drama with gill man. The creature looks alot like the creature from hellboy who del Toro also directs from memory. Some great set pieces and beautiful old cars but I just didn't like this movie. The main female character is so dull, Michael Shannon plays a great evil G man set in that 60s Russian spy era. The monster looks good but the script is just weak, it's like a poor ripoff of creature from the black lagoon mixed with free willy. Too slow & not enough happens in 2 hours with no back story of where the gill man came from?? How do you make a monster movie dull?",5
"oh, after watching this movie i was forced to write a comment because i want those people to know, who want to watch this movie, that his is not so great of a movie.Yes it has got very high rating point in IMDb website and i fell for that and watched this movie. I was expecting a lot from this movie and after watching it i can say that i am not convinced at all. after watching coen brothers "" not country for old men"" i decided to watch this movie but i was wrong.this movie certainly does not deserve that much of a high rating. the lady, who was playing a cop in this movie, never looked or behaved like a cop. The dialogs were even worse. ""Oh yah"" and ""jeez"" words have been used almost 100 times throughout the movie which really freaked me out. No one did justice with his/her role including Macy who was playing the central character ""jerry lundeggard"".Please don't watch this movie if u are expecting a lot from Coen Brothers.",5
"Marvel did a great job to hire ""reviewers"" and score such a great rating here but in reality, it is such a boring, bad and dull attempt to be original.

Really, waste of time.",2
"The movie story was very good, it's interesting to watch",7
"It's time for #realtalk. STRANGER THINGS is OVERRATED. Apparently everyone looking down the barrel of turning 40 years old decided they needed nostalgic rejuvenation and rode this TV-PG ""boner for the 80's"" all week.

Even at 8 eps it runs too long. The story could have easily been told as a movie. And it's so intentionally filled with cliché -- if I have to see a black hole explained with a folded piece of paper & a pencil thru it ONE MORE TIME! -- that it tastes stale and feels exaggeratedly sentimental.

That said, there is some fun in watching the show, just know it's family friendly TV and not a dark or dramatic story aimed at adults. But the fun isn't enough to carry it for 8 hours.",6
"When I started watching this movie I was hoping it would be better than the first Captain America, which I found severely lacking and bizarre. I am a huge Avengers fan, I love the character of Captain America, I loved the Iron Man movies, the Thor movies etc, but somehow the Captain America movies just fall short. Now, this movie has great acting, it has relatively good dialogue. It introduces a new character right at the beginning, and he has some great charisma and he's very likable. But the plot to this movie is as the title of my review says, clichéd. Every action performed in the film is predictable. I got so bored while watching it, I was almost constantly checking my phone, and they could have made it a lot shorter than it was. There were so many unnecessary scenes and dialogue that did not improve the movie in any way. The ""major"" plot twists barely had an impact on me. All in all, good acting but poorly executed.",4
"Just finished the last episode and what a first season that was! For sure I'm going to watch the 2nd season when that pops up.

My backgrounds: I haven't seen the Netflix's Daredevil or any piece of work which is based on The Punisher.

First of all, it is violent. If that's not your business, The Punisher probably isn't for you. Still not as violent as 2013 series Banshee, which is one of the most brutally violent TV shows I've ever seen. If you are into action, here you have it. ACTION. 'Cause that's what The Punisher is about. In The Punisher, a tough guy takes the law into his own hands and kills (or at least hurts) almost everyone who tries to stop him or comes in his way. The Punisher, aka Frank Castle yet ""has the reason"" for that. His wife and two kids has been killed. What a cliché, though it's a necessary one. But there is something more, something deeper than a vengeance. A whole government conspiracy. You can trust no one, but that's just fine because Frank Castle really loves working on his own.

The first season is really good and solid overall. There is everything you can expect from a Netflix original. Great acting, great directing and a wonderfully working plot with its twists. Just one thing I didn't quite like. The main character Frank Castle's lack of emotions on his face. I think he is just a few degrees too cold. Still not hating, just a bit disappointed. Maybe I was also expecting a bit different season finale but I'm fine with that too. At this point I give it 8 out of 10.

But hey, give it a chance and see if the first episode pulls you in. At least that's what happened to me. And after all, I really liked it.",8
the movie doesn't go by it's reputation. So far the horror portion is common as it is linked with the devil so no ghost at all. one time watch movie. and can watch with family as blood shed is okay considering other horror movies. As the title just the movie is going by that only no creativity at all. The story starts with simplicity and ends with obvious.,2
"You don't want this movie to get end.Emotions,comedy everything was perfectly blended.pankaj Tripathi OMG another level.Rajkumar Rao take a Bow.Even other actors were fine.Must watch",8
"I'm Russian. I watched the movie in the original. Honestly, I was sick for 2 hours while I was watching it. It hurts to see something so disgusting about your country. (Americans, imagine watching a movie for more than two hours in which you are represented as the most horrible people on the planet? I don't even know what kind of person can tolerate this for so long. And I know whereof I speak, I'm writing my master's thesis about the creating bad image of Russians in American cinema). Especially when your country is replaced by an alternate reality in which all Russians are ruthless, immoral, violent killers. Apparently, I live in some other Russia. Okay, the whole world has learned that Russia is hell on earth, but can propaganda be made with much more intelligence and taste? If to put this all aside, the detective story took me.",4
"I found the first season pretty astounding and loved the characters.

The second season kind of faltered in my opinion. The first season was explosive and had a near perfect ending. I was happy with how it ended. The second season provides more character growth and some closure, however I can't help feeling as though it wasn't closure I asked for.

That said it is a great show and imminently watchable.",8
"Too many to name so I won't try. It's a huge turnoff because iconic moments from other movies keep appearing. When you are hoping for something original from writers, it seems lazy to keep loading the script with music and scenes from hit movies that don't need homage. The story idea is solid but the end result is you becoming more angry every time you say to yourself ""That's from 'X' movie...""",5
"A bit slow to start and yet a movie with a delivery unlike any other. The story seems to be simple and yet it pulls at your conscience. The outstanding performance of almost all the cast makes this a truly deep and realistic portrayal of the injustices that were an everyday way of life in the slavery states during the PreCivil War era.

I found the dialog all too often difficult to comprehend. Thus, I was lost and frustrated by the script that tried too hard to give the viewer a much too lengthy and confusing scene with language that made little sense to the average viewer. I still found this film full of earthy realism and a true sense of hopelessness for the black man in an era full of racism.",8
"The movie is about the evacuation of the British army from Dunkirk, France during WWII. The movie in general is quite good and the acting is very convincing, however, the movie is very tense and you can barely take a break to breath. Also, the movie has only one theme and doesn't have many events nor ups and downs, it's all one theme for the whole movie. It felt to me like it was one big prolonged shot of just one scene(Although it is obviously not). To sum up, i just would like to say that the movie worth watching but it is definitely not my favorite WWII movie.",7
"Not perfect but a very good effort. Good acting and real twisty plot that keeps you interested, a couple of minor plot holes but not too significant and overall and good effort. Well worth a watch.",8
I was always a fan of anurag basu till he made this dustbin type movie... the starting is really interesting i was expecting a damn good storyline where stars like pankaj tripathi rajkumar rao abhishek bachhan and aditya roy kapoor were casted... but he just made full waste of their talent in a khichdi... even end of d movie was also a bina tadka k khichdi... choice of casting was really good but utilizing them wasn't there at al... overall this s a bhangar movie... but abhishek bachhan was mind blowing and pankaj tripathi ❤ly.,4
Maybe it just me but I found it pretty obvious from the start which way this was going to go. Still KIND OF enjoyable. Give it a go if you've nothing else to do,6
"I thought this was rather well done. Everything looked really good, the suspense was well done. The story was well told. Some characters made some bad decisions. I thought the ending was particularly good.

I'm not big on gore, and this film had very little (though there were a couple scenes that I did look away for.)

Most of the characters had a good mix of likable and unlikable qualities, most of them seemed realistic, though there were a couple moments here and there where I don't think a real person would talk or act that way.

I also thought that the existance of social media and ubiquity of cell phones was used well in this film.",7
"This is one of those shows that you don't even have to force yourself to keep up with. It is by far one of the best dramas on television to date. ""24"" is original, thrilling, emotional, action packed, everything a good drama series needs. It is among my top five favorite shows of all time. Season 1 was the best by far, 2 and 3 are close, and 4, though still very good, was the worst. This show has great acting throughout the entire cast, from Sutherland to the extras they need, they are all spectacular. The story never fails, no matter what its about, and every twist that they throw at you makes your jaw literally drop. The show is full of surprises and everything else it should be full of. A great show, definitely recommended. 8/10",9
I waited for this moment 3 years ago and here Kruger has come 😭🔥😻,10
"Many others have already posted great observations about Superbad and why it's a top flight coming-of-age-story/raunchy comedy. I agree..., the film is a strong accomplishment. Accordingly, I'll maintain brevity.

I'm 35 years old and can attest that high school in the late 1980s was quite akin to the situations Seth, Evan and Fogel (McLovin!) experience throughout the long day's journey into one of their last high school Friday nights.

Combined with lots of realistic, for high schoolers, crudity/awkwardness(awkwardness breeds crudity in high school kids, folks--it's called nervous energy) and copious laughs, is a rare, non-manipulative, poignancy.

"How do I even begin to review a film that has been in my personal Top Three of all time since the second I left the theater back in 1996? I guess that has always been one reason that I've avoided watching this film in the past year and a half that I have been reviewing every film that I see. The best thing to do, as I did with my other two favorites in my personal cinematic trinity, is describe why this movie is, in my opinion, incredible.

'Fargo' is, like many Coen brothers films, the story of a stupid crime gone horribly wrong. In this case, Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) is in deep debt after committing some major fraud at his father-in-law's car dealership, so he comes up with a scheme to have his wife kidnapped in order for his wealthy father-in-law to pay the ransom. Unfortunately, the men he hires (Peter Stormare and Steve Buscemi) are not only completely unstable, scary and share a half a brain among them, and what was supposed to be a simple kidnapping culminates in the murder of three innocent bystanders. Enter Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand) a small-town sheriff, who also happens to be seven months pregnant, who steps in to try to solve the case.

'Fargo' has so many things going for it: Phenomenal acting (McDormand won a well-deserved Oscar for her role) by all players, supporting and lead and a brilliant script that is part mystery, part thriller and part drama, and all layered in a thin veneer of some of the darkest comedy seen in recent years, are just two of the outstanding elements. The cinematography of 'Fargo' however is absolutely beautiful. The snow-white landscape is so stark and vast; yet suddenly you realize that you are watching a tiny figure in the distance, trudging through the snow; and it's one of the main characters. One shot in particular is so unbelievably framed, that for a good ten seconds, the viewer isn't entirely sure what they are looking at, until it becomes obvious that it is a deserted parking lot with one car parked in the middle of it. Scenes like these are literally breath-taking, and harkens back to some of the beautiful cinematography in one of their earlier films, 'Millers Crossing'.

One of the funniest things I remember about this film was actually an unfavorable review my parents, who are both movie lovers themselves, gave it before I saw it for myself. It was, verbatim, 'We saw 'Fargo' and it was REALLY dark. We hated it. You will LOVE it.' And indeed I did. I walked out of the theater eight years ago on a cold, snowy night and literally thought to myself, 'THAT is how films should be made.'

That really sums it all up in simple, non-flashy terms. And because of my very true adoration for their work, I have described how choosing my favorite Coen Brothers film is like a mother choosing her favorite child. It takes a film that is a step above 'phenomenal' in order for it to shine above all of the other fantastic films they have made. In my opinion, 'Fargo' is and always will be that caliber of film for me. Every other film of theirs have varying degrees of 'great-ness', because I truly love and admire all of their work, but because of its standout performances, intelligent and compelling script, and it's beautiful presentation, 'Fargo' is a four star film, and will always remain on my personal 'favorites' list.

"This movie is one of the funniest of the 21st century. The jokes are hilarious, and it is spoken by a great cast. Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Seth Rogen, and others are excellent in their roles. The characters they play you really latch on to you. They are extremely likable in many ways. The dialogue is also superb. It's a fast moving script that gives many great lines by the end of the movie. Also at the end I sorta felt some happiness. It's one thing to make me laugh throughout, but to make a vulgar comedy like this actually make my heart warm is a very big plus. It's a film about friendship, and that message manages to find its way through all the vulgar stuff.

4 stars out of 4",10
Every episode just dragged on and on. All 10 episodes could've been done in 2 or 3.,3
It has a beautiful beginning with beautiful pictures. A stunning home that I would be willing to watch again and again but the end was too tough and too ugly. I wish it could be rewritten and show people some hope.,6
"To buy that Sandra bullock is some sort of brain in this (or any) film, is a stretch. This 'film' is filled with annoying dialogue and what are all of these reviews about the flawless CGI and spectacular scenery? Even if one could say they are great (which they really aren't), they cannot make up for the story/writing, which is just appalling. A bunch of unlikely events are stringed together with a group of space walkers using drills to tighten and loosen screws, who act like they're going for a walk in the park - even when I sit at my desk at work I'm more careful. Yes, there will come a time when being out in space will perhaps be an accepted state, but one would remain in a relative state of awareness at the threat that surrounds their mortality; to be clowning around as Clooney and the space loons are, is just utterly implausible. Go and watch Moon or Interstellar or Martian. This film is utter rubbish. I just had to stop this movie so I wouldn't waste any more of my oxygen wishing that Sandra bullock would run out of hers.",1
Season 1 was exceptional I honestly can't find a fault but season 2 has seemed to of lost its heart,9

"Kate Winslet has proven she is one of the best actresses out there. She doesn't care about taking pretty girl parts or staring in a bunch of fluff. Kate is absolutely phenomenal in this show as usual. She plays a police detective that just doesn't seem to care about much except her family, although she doesn't show that she does often. She has so many issues and on top of that is trying to solve a missing persons case and a murder. This show is serious and heavy at times, but just so good especially given the acting done by everyone. This is a truly great show.",8
What a terrible film. Can someone explain to me what's funny about this? Take out the lack of actually humour it's just a bad film. It wants so hard to be Truman Show but ends up being Pixels. Ryan Reynolds has never been funny to me he's just got this tw*t like quality about him. He's what we call in England a prat. Sorry if you liked this disposable CGI screen vomit. It's just not for me I guess. Maybe it's me. Lots of people giving this 5* the world is insane.,2
"I have been waiting for this movie since it was first announced. I'm a big fan of DiCaprio and a big one of Tarantino. The cast was amazing, so it basically was a perfect recipe for success.

I went to the cinema with really high expectations even though I had read some reviews before, one in particular that said the movie was a little slow the first 2 hours and then the last 45 minutes classic Tarantino would kick in. I was ok with that, but I didn't know that those 45 minutes would be just 10-15 in the end (I didn't count). The credits were rolling and I couldn't believe it, I was still wauting something to happen, I was hoping the theatre did something wrong, maybe it accidentally cut a part of the movie. BUT NO, the full 2:40 hoyrs movie was IT.

As a conclusion this was an avarage movie for 2:30 hours with a couple of nice scenes and some good acting, and a very good 10 minutes in the end (not enough).

Many people say this is the best from Tarantino since Pulp Fiction. I say this is the worst ever. Jackie Brown says Thank You!",6

"In 1994, a mega hit movie came out. Millions of people went to see it in theaters, and adored the lovable main character; Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump later received six academy awards (including best picture and actor), and was even ranked as one of the hundred best American films of all time by the AFI. I pose a question to you, the reader; is something wrong with me? Because Forrest Gump, in my eyes, is, possibly, one of the hundred WORST movies that I've ever seen. Forrest Gump boasts a FAIR performance by Tom Hanks, starring as the title role. That, perhaps, is the best part of this movie, and it was only par. In terms of the story, which could be the worst part of this movie, it is completely pointless. It may be entertaining to watch, but, in the end, it is two and a half hours of a retard (75 I.Q.) prospering in life. This could be a really great movie, but there was no struggle involved. Forrest Gump simply had life and all of his achievements come rushing towards him. Forrest Gump advertises the idea that you can just slide through life effortlessly; that is not true. All in all, Forrest Gump is just a big, overrated disappointment.",3
"None of the black characters are real. They were either white or Asian male and female replaced by black ones. Otherwise, great show. Not too long and easy to watch.",8
"I don't know if I just saw a Sherlock Holmes movie, or a mash-up of House, M.D. and Harry Potter, set in the nineteenth century. We have a scruffy genius with few social graces, who correctly draws astonishing conclusions from minute details. His long- suffering partner, who constantly (an unwillingly) gets caught up in the schemes of the main character - and despite his frequent exasperation, seems to be the only person who can truly put up with him. And then we have a villain who gains power through seemingly dark magic that is rooted in the deaths of others. Greg House + Voldemort = basically this entire movie.

My point is, the protagonist of this movie felt little like the classic character of the great detective only occasionally. I almost wish that they would have scrapped the Sherlock Holmes title entirely, and made this a completely original movie. Is it Robert Downey Jr.'s fault that I see him and think Tony Stark? No. But the fact still remains that as good as he is, he never fit the part for me. He's a great actor, but this wasn't really suited for him.

Once you get beyond the title, you'll see that this is a pretty standard adventure movie. There are action sequences sprinkled in liberally, to keep the pace moving, a fairly simple plot, fight scenes, and even a few explosions. And somehow with all that going on, I still was bored and ready for the movie to end, long before it was over. Besides that, Rachel McAdams' character was completely unnecessary and annoying. I know mainstream movies generally need some kind of a love interest for the main protagonist, but Rachel was a complete mismatch for her role.

The sense of cleverness that goes into a tale about Holmes was also missing. Every part of the mystery boiled down to some new invention or rare compound that only Holmes and the villain had knowledge of. He was supposed to be a great detective because of his uncanny deductive reasoning, not because he had memorized every random poison on earth.

Maybe by the time the inevitable sequel is made, I'll be acclimated to this modern version of Sherlock Holmes. It's great for RDJ's career that he has had so many mega- successful movies in the last few years, but that also makes it much harder for him to disappear into a role. This is one example of his fame being too big for the character.",5
"Shazam continues DC's market researched based scripts and it fails in the same way all the others have. They introduce a bunch of characters and give you no reason to care about them. The ""comedy"" is jammed into every scene with boring predictability. The story is deep and interesting but they never show you any of it.

I've been reading DC Comics since the 80's and I adore these characters. I really hope they figure this out someday.",5
"Visually, cool as heck. Effects were on point. Michael B Jordan as a villain was AMAZING. All else...skip. I wanted to like this movie and looked forward to it after BP's debut in Civil War. His character and performance, and the movie wasn't nearly as good as BP in Civil War. I was very disappointed last night. And I'm a huge fan of the MCU.",4

"I bought this movie at an Indian supermarket in Barcelon for 3 auras, some months ago.I had seen before ""Kal Hoo Na Ho"" in the Oriental Film Festival one year ago, and I was so impressed and disturbed that such a MASTERPIECE of the modern cinema(I couldn't believe this movies haven't a commercial career in Europe) wasn't shown before on screen, that I bought a new one directed by the girl who made the choreography in the first one (Main Hoon Na). I have no words to comment about ""Main Hoon Na"", for the first time in years I have the sensation of something so wild, absolutely a masterpiece of musical movies comparable to the classical movies in USA in the sixties. I was so excited as when I saw ""West side story"" in my life for the first time. Bollywood are the future of musicals. All the actors are super, the movie is a prodigious of filming and foot age, the plot is crazy but involving, choreography is incredible, the sound is dazzling...well...everything is crazy in this movie. I don't remember to have such a feelings since I saw ""Millie"" on DVD. Well lucky I didn't have words!",10
"Greetings from the other side. Daredevil is the best of all superhero television series. It's truly sad that, yet again, idiots in charge of this stuff decided to cancel it.

I wish somebody would give me a shot, and let me be the person to decide what stays and what gets cancelled. I find it obvious seeing what's good and what's bad, yet the people in charge of this seem oblivious. Don't they watch it? Maybe they just go by numbers or reviews.

Regardless, this show is dark, and has very good fight scenes. The characters are good for the most part. Personally, I didn't care for the guy that played Foggy, but so what.

If you like superheros or if you are a Daredevil fan, do yourself a favor and check this out. You will be hooked after a few episodes.",9

"I absolutely love it when film directors decide to make a film on a living legend, and Milkha Singh is certainly a legend that we should all learn about.

I did not know much about Milkha Singh before this film, but watching it has inspired me massively to lead my own life with the level of dedication he put into his own.

There can only be one star in this show, and that is Farhan Akhtar. He totally looks the part as a young Sikh man, and has gone the extra mile (literally) to make his physique look flawless! Farhan, can now be mentioned in the same breath as the other method actors in current India such as Aamir Khan and Hrithik Roshan.

His brief chemistry with Sonam Kapoor was simple yet beautiful and it's good that the director didn't drag the romantic side of the story on, but concentrated on Milkha's more important phases of his life.

Other notable performances are Pawan Malhotra (Milkha's coach) and Divya Dutta (Milkha's sister) - both are flawless in their own performances and give fantastic support to Farhan throughout the film.

I would say that Farhan should win the Best Male actor award, but I saw Krrish3 before this, so I think Farhan should win the Critics awards for it instead.

"Season 8 was its pinnacle , been watching this show since season 1 , this tv series keep getting better with new season if you are into james bond film just trust me you will love this show.",9
"Let me start by saying that this is a very fascinating movie and has the quintessential 'Christopher Nolan' stamp all over. I have always liked how Nolan builds his movies. He has a gift. One only needs to remember Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins, The Prestige, The Dark Knight, Inception and now Interstellar. There will always be a debate after a movie like Interstellar if this is the best one from Nolan ever or was it Inception. Personally I feel that Inception was pretty remarkable. It was not an easy concept and was rendered remarkably on the screen but then that was Inception and this review is not about it…

Coming back to Interstellar- I was not able to see the movie as soon as it came out. A lot of people beat me to it and gave me rave reviews – ""must watch"", ""filmmaking at its best"", ""remarkable"" and so on. A significant number of them are not into science fiction at all and so all this galvanized me into action. Being wary of 'spoilers' I read as little about the movie as possible (online and print). Today I corrected that anomaly and find myself quite amused at the end of it all.

Interstellar is a very fascinating movie. I went to see the movie with my better half and though I enjoyed the ride she was lost halfway through the movie though she has a decent appreciation of science fiction genre. I found myself explaining some concepts to her after the movie but I realized that it had not worked for her the way it had for me.

The movie starts with a basic dooms day scenario but that is the only thing 'basic' about the movie. The special effects are decent and the physics (+metaphysics) in there is challenging to say the least and that is when I feel that I have a special taste/appetite for this kind of stuff. For example the movie contains concepts like wormhole/time dilation/black hole/extra dimensional beings and lots of metaphysics thrown in for a good measure. The movie uses the 'Gravity' as a catch all explanation and does a less than adequate job of explaining it for the uninitiated. Hence many viewers may view that as stretching of scientific concepts. This is not a movie that may endear itself in first go. Even those with a more than normal understanding of the concepts involved therein may have to read a bit more and then go in for a 2nd viewing to appreciate it more adequately.

This is where the most interesting part comes in- the hullabaloo about the movie. Majority of the people I know who are praising this movie to high heavens would find themselves sufficiently challenged if I was to ask them to state Newton's 3 laws of motion. I am reminded of something I read a long time ago – A Classic is a book that everyone talks about but nobody ever reads. At some point a certain view (right or wrong is important only in retrospect) about this movie was formed by the first- goers and I feel that has become the consensus view by adoption and not based on experience for many viewers.

This movie affords an opportunity to pull up our understanding of some remarkable concepts in Physics that may be unfamiliar territory for many. By blindly praising the movie and not making an effort to understand the physics behind it is, if I can dare say, an insult to those involved in the making of this movie.",7
This movie really launches the MCU. Must watch to understand the full Stark history and future,9
"This show believes it's the smartest thing in the world with their bland and blatant criticism of society. Probably the most pretentious piece of media I've ever had the disgrace of watching, I wish more people realized that this is just some smart wannabe crap",1
"Last night wife and I viewed this on free HBO weekend and am I glad we did not rent this one. We are movie/TV watchers and I truly do not get therating of 8.0 listed on IMDb. Usually the ratings are very good and we always check first before wasting our precious time. This was the worst, boring movie and the only redeeming moment was when Sandra Bullock took off her suit and my wife said nice body but the short shorts really?. Again we had to fast forward due to being so boring. My wife said good character study and I thought is she high? There was really NO surprises in dialog at all and the end was a real dud.Again, the IMDb ratings are usually right on but the audience really missed this one.",1
"I wasn't impressed at first. The protagonist Nadia starts off very unlikable and I felt the 1st episode ended abruptly, with little hint as to whether the rest of the series would be entertaining.

However I'm glad I continued watching as the story became increasingly intriguing and I practically binged watched the rest of the series in a day.

After watching the finale, my opinion is that this is probably one of the best time loop stories ever told.",9

My wife wanted to watch this show following all the great reviews. Good grief though this is over of the most boring shows I have watched all year. Slow and tedious. Now watching episode 3 and it's actually getting worse. Not sure I'll be sticking it out for the next 9 episodes.,1
"I watched ten minutes of this and couldn't take anymore. Lady Gaga is gross, Bradley Cooper is worn out, and the first cool scene took place in a Drag Queen bar. Definitely not how I want to spend an hour or so.

3 stars",3
"Anyone who gives this movie above a 1 star has a vested financial interest in its success. This was basically just a mess of a movie. All over the place plot with nonsense scenes and situations. There were some funny scenes but at its core, it just had no depth, logic or meaning other than Barbie v. Ken. Let's present a fake world where either men rule and women are puppets or women rule and men are puppets. This reads like someone's thesis on the state of feminism in modern society. I feel bad for the families that took their children to see this expecting something lighthearted and fun. This was not it. Just silly...",2

"Did you think the liminal irony of ""The Addams Family"" would fear nothing?

You were wrong - greed, wokeness and predictable one-liners easily corrode even the sardonic but mild gothic classic. At first you'll find intriguing the subject, and interesting the main actors' performances (even if cocooned into a sort of ""Harry Potterish"" story).

But delving more in the series you'll find that the good elements fade, and you're left with a repetitive teen comedy with an excessive tonnage of outcasts-Vs-normals rhethoric.

Maybe the goal was nothing more than this - to use the original series' reputation to tow an ordinary comedy for the young audience. IMHO, every audience deserves (far) better.",4

"This is not a good movie. The story itself is weak and unrealistic. Seen from space exploration and physics viewpoint, it's a laugh. E.g. in real life it takes weeks to prepare a launcher, in this movie they jump in and on their space crafts as if it were scooters. Not to talk about the laws of physics and electromagnetism. Every frame in this movie seems to conflict with these fundamental laws. One can stretch reality to such a level that it becomes absurdity. That's why this is not a good movie.",1
"Its quite good anime worth watching of time , has good story line but it is very hard for some people to understand what their brain works like when they rate it below 8🤘🤘🤘",9
"Future Man starts when nebbish Josh beats an unbeatable video game only to learn it's a recruiting device from the future. He is recruited by battle-hardened warriors Tiger and Wolf, who quickly discover that video game expertise does not a leader make. They then make various desperate attempts to stop a coming war, all of which go terribly wrong, often *because* of Josh.

The first season is a nutty time-jumping story, but in season 2 our heroes are stuck in a grubby dystopian future and it's not nearly as fun. I actually considered at one point giving up, but am glad I didn't, since I would have missed a couple of brilliant moments like a computer virtualization of a night club and a final insane time jump worth of Rick and Morty.

Season 3 returns to time jumping, as well as time halting, and is every bit as fun and hilarious as the first season.

Future Man is mainly focused on the jokes, but it also has some interesting critiques of sci-fi tropes. The most obvious is the video game hero bit, but the first season throws open the possibility that Josh is on the wrong side of the war, and the final season doubles down on the idea of the trio as something other than a force for good in the universe. The ideas are never pursued deeply, but they are there, giving you something to think about. I also love the final minute of the last season, which is a pretty sharp critique of the entertainment industry including Future Man.

I discovered this series when I was looking for other series created by Howard Overman, the guy behind Misfits, Crazyhead, and some other really good series. Keeping an eye on his output is always wise. (Series was co-created by a couple of writers from Sausage Party, a great movie that gives a hint at the humor you can expect.

Highly recommended.",8
"So the real playtime without credits is 103 minutes. Be prepared for about 85 minutes of fast-paced action sequences with brutal bloody shootouts, melee fights and a huge amount of dead people.

PRO: I loved how they handled the camera angles, it feels like you can feel the action in front of you, not just watching a movie.

Hemsworth did a great job here. I could accept him as a merciless mercenary, because he has nothing to loose in this plot and you can feel it, in every fight.

You love to see a unstoppable guy fighting a complete army like ""Taken, Rambo, John Wick, The Equalizer, Crank and all that stuff? Give this movie a chance ;) You will like it!

CONTRA: Way too much CGI

There are almost no highlights. Most of the time its like a Ego-Shooter campaign with no real storyline beside ""save the hostage"". Yes it's entertaining but i would not watch it a for a second time.

Boring plot

Have a great day!

Cheers, Fletcher",7
I've recently completed the show and hands-down it is one of the best anime ever. Definitely worth spending your time on it.,8
"There are much logic failures in the script - so this is forgiveable, with a good action or thriller content but here there are some characters only there to create a story - and they are not useful neither good characters. the film 1998 was good, never watched the series of 1965 - but I cannot forgive this, this series is a C movie adventure with best medi class sifi effects. nothing mroe.",1
"I've just watched this film. It was going great until the credits appearance. The constant changes between past and present, in a confused and confusing way makes the viewer lost the focus.

The linear time-line of a movie only can be altered with extreme care, because you may compromise the whole movie. You have to watch this movie more than once, no doubt about it.

I wouldn't say it's a bad movie, but it's miles away from what people say about it. The concept was bad structured, the story doesn't evolve and there's little connection between Joel and Clementine, and I would dare to say that the movie is a bit pretentious too, with it's ""cult"" design and ""impressive"" images.

You can't follow the time-line, the screenplay isn't strong enough to hold the attention to the picture. It won the Oscar, wow, such a big thing. The same academy that gave the Best Picture Award to the mediocre ""American Beauty"". Please Jim, try to team up with Frank Darabont again, he's a true genius! Well, just to show that you shouldn't go with the flow when it comes to movies, music or literature, you have to see it for yourself and take your own conclusions...",5

"One of the best things about 24 is the format of the show, which is unlike most other shows on television today, is in real time every episode takes place over one hour (and 24 episodes in a season takes you through one day).

The first season of the show was the best. The second season the stories started getting bigger, maybe too big for one season. The third season was still good but maybe not as good as season 1. The fourth season so far has been interesting but with a show like 24, you have to wait until the end of the season to give your final verdict.

This show is one of the best shows on TV and is entertaining.",10
"Hargrave places heavy reliance on action sequences which in some ways reminiscent of the John Wick films. It also has the kind of video game violence that director David Ayer is known for in films such as Fury and End of Watch.

"Jason Segel writes and stars in a comedy that involves breakup and vacation of separation. ""Forgetting Sarah Marshall"" tells the story of Jason Segel, a song composer for a television series, starring his girlfriend, Sarah Marshall, portrayed by Kristen Bell. After hearing the big ""break-up"" from Sarah, Segel tries to go on a Hawaain vacation to get his mind off of things, when running into Sarah, whose now dating an international superstar named Aldous Snow, portrayed by Russell Brand. But then, after meeting Mila Kunis as a Hawaain hotel manager, he finally realizes that he must decide whether to get Sarah back, or to end up with the other girl. Now, I must admit that every single moment in the film, I almost lost my voice laughing, because of the hilarious performances provided by Jason Segel, Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, and Russell Brand, and the hilarious writing provided for the film was sometimes raunchy, but extremely well-written. Many moments that included fresh cereal, a surfing accident, a Dracula play with puppets, and even Russell Brand's complete craziness made me laugh a lot. But honestly, this felt like a movie about things we all go through in life which involves depressing love, which follows into a new love. But they take this dramatic lesson, and turns it into an enormous laugh of a movie. Let's just say Nicholas Stoller, Jason Segel, and Judd Apatow knows how to make good comedies. This movie was freaking awesome and freaking hilarious all at the same time, and was truly loving at times. ""Forgetting Sarah Marshall"", in my review, ""Hilariously written, and deserves all the laughs"".",9

"""Harry! Hermione! Ron!""

I joked with some friends on the way to the theater that the preceding utterances would likely sum up the bulk of the dialogue in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. You see, with the exception of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the feature films that have sought to transform J.K. Rowling's vision of witchcraft and wizardry into a viable cinematic franchise have been—in my estimation—dry, predictable, and not all that engaging. Here, where we experience ""the beginning of the end,"" it's clear that director David Yates was able to harness some of the energy and urgency that fueled his previous offering. ""Some,"" of course, is the key word. Though the movie is book-ended by some admirably crafted action sequences that effectively immerse us in the far-flung world of wands, potions and evil lords, the middle sags, as Langston Hughes would say, ""like a heavy load.""

Our protagonists' interactions have become increasingly complex as they've aged, and that's pushed to the next level in Deathly Hallows. No longer are Harry and company holding hands and exchanging superficial banter with those of the opposite sex: here, we see our hero exude confidence (and, perhaps, maturity) as he goes straight for a kiss right from the get-go. In fact, sexual tension courses through nearly every scene of the production. There's even an odd occurrence where we witness the feigned lustful encounter of some familiar characters via a mysterious vapor.

Given their age, this isn't all that surprising, and it ultimately adds some believability to the maturation unfolding before us. On the flip side, this also means that we're exposed to a number of drawn-out sequences that seem more like forced characterization rather than anything truly genuine.

And this is where the problems begin for Deathly Hallows. After a grand opening, we're forced to endure an hour (or so) of watching moody teenagers meander through the wilderness. They're searching for horcruxes—these objects are the key to defeating Voldemort (I think)—and the location and purpose of each one is shrouded in mystery (surprise!).

Naturally, it takes a lot of interviewing and pondering for the necessary revelations to take place, but they eventually do, and we're treated to a third act that's vastly more entertaining than anything that comes before.

A few other notes: hints of Lord of the Rings abound, especially when a horcrux on a chain acts as a burden for each of our protagonists. Just as we've seen with the ""one ring"" in Middle Earth, this item brings out the worst in its bearer. And, as one of my students noted in a recent essay submission, there are some blatant comparisons made between Lord Voldemort to Adolf Hitler (and subsequently Nazi Germany). I don't necessarily mind this, but anyone familiar with popular culture or world history might find the preaching of Rowling a little heavy-handed.

As stated in my review of Half-Blood Prince, I have not read any of the novels. I'm told that much of what we see in Deathly Hallows is important to further fleshing out our heroic trio, and I'm willing to chalk up what I can only describe as ""tedium"" to screenwriter Steve Kloves desire to remain faithful to the source material.

But the question remains: for this to be the start of a slam-bang finish, couldn't something have been done to make it a little more… I don't know… magical?",6
"Husband and I love Tarantino and were very excited to see this film. After the first 20 minutes or so, we became so bored that we contemplated leaving the theater. We didn't, and stayed for the whole thing, but the only truly interesting and exciting part was the last half hour or so. Very disappointed.",5
"A well-directed, written and acted horror film with solid scares, tense atmosphere and creatively unnerving concepts and imagery. Set in the franchise based on the real-life supernatural investigations of the Warrens, this film focuses mainly on their daughter Judy Warren while her parents are away, and on her babysitter Mary Ellen. A friend with a tragic past gets involved, and sure enough the evil sealed in their home is unleashed. The film itself was shot very well, surprisingly for his debut Gary Dauberman knew where to put the camera at and when to keep it rolling; making the characters feel pursued and cornered aswell as building up dread and suspense towards each scare. The leads were smartly written and well-acted, the entities were spooky and unique, the humor was fun and on-point and most surprisingly of all with films of this nature (the paranormal and/or demonic presence) they do not waterdown or reduce the dependence and importance of Christian Faith as protection against such evils; making the film more enjoyable towards Christian-Catholic viewers like myself. Overall, a really satisfying introduction to this franchise that I definitely recommend.",7
"After seeing the amazing second Captain America movie, Winter Soldier, I was excited for Cap's third solo movie outing. As always, Marvel didn't disappoint me. Civil War lived up to the hype. It is a great addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's worth the watch for any fan of the MCU.

The story line for Civil War was really good. It kept me engaged through out the movie. The problem with the story is it can be confusing for those who don't keep up with all the different MCU movies. Also, some of the story was to set up the Black Panther and Spider-Man: Homecoming movies that haven't been released as of yet. Civil War also felt scaled down compared to the 2006 comic story line. The movie deals with the aftereffects of the Sokovia Incident and another one in Lagos which both events involved the Avengers. These two events divide the Avengers in two groups led by Captain America and Iron Man respectively.

It was amazing seeing Spider-Man finally show up in the MCU. Tom Holland nailed it as Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Glad that Sony and Marvel/Disney made an agreement to share the character. I was disappointed by the last few Spider-Man movies and Marvel fixed my worries with the intro of Spidey. He was one of the highlights of Civil War. Another character introduced to the MCU is Black Panther. Chadwick Boseman was great as T'Challa/Black Panther. After seeing him in action, I can't wait for the Black Panther movie to come out in February 2018.

The rest of the cast gave great performances as well. It was good that the 2008 Hulk movie was acknowledged in the MCU by way of Thaddeus ""Thunderbolt"" Ross played by William Hurt. Another problem I have with Captain America: Civil War is the villain. Daniel Bruhl's Helmut Zemo wasn't that memorable even though his actions in Civil War has a lasting impact in the MCU. Most of his actions seem like coincidences and good luck on his part. Despite that, I really enjoyed the movie and can't wait to see how the Avengers come together in Infinity War to fight Thanos.",8
"When I watched this film, I walked out of the cinema going ""wow that was a poggers film"" however the cat in the hat is just a better film in every regard.",5
I absolutely love Deborah Harkness' trilogy and in the first episode there was so little that was accurate to the story that she created. I was so excited to start watching this and now I'm terribly disappointed. It's disjointed and non-sensical.,4
"I watched this movie because of the refreshing music and the shooting at foreign locations that I saw in the trailer. It was a mistake. I should have known better that nice music and shooting at breathtaking locales does not equal a good film.

The movie's weakest point is its story. Without going into details I'll say that it is full of stereotypes. Deepika plays Veronica- an independent girl who drinks, wears short clothes, visits night clubs and loves having casual sex. She also does not understand basic decency. She is supposed to be seen by the audience as the 'modern' girl because of her 'forwardness'. Diana plays Mira- a damsel-in- distress type girl who wears salwar kameez every other day, does pooja everyday, knows how to cook, has no self esteem and no self confidence. The audience is supposed to see her as the desi behenji Indian girl(because of her 'backwardness'?). Saif plays Gautam- A guy who seems to want to flirt with every girl right from the moment he sees her.

Can you see how the stereotypes are framed here? When are the Indian script writers going to stop portraying women as 'pure' and 'impure'? Just because a girl wears short clothes does not mean she likes drinking or having casual sex. Just because she drinks does not mean she loves having sex with random guys. Just because she has sex with a guy, even if she does not have serious feelings of love for him, does not make her 'impure' or 'slutty'. It is this outdated mindset of Indian society which is impure. It is a personal choice when a girl wants to have sex and portraying her as a slut because of her sexual forwardness in such movies is not just outdated but also sexist(The story never talks much about Gautam's 'purity' even if he has sex with multiple women). In one of the scenes Veronica tells Gautam ""I can be pure too"". I wanted to shout at her and tell her ""you don't have to be 'pure', you are already pure. If you try to be like someone else, then you will actually become fake/impure."" It is movies like this which encourages the Indian mentality that 'It is OK to rape a girl because she asked for it because she was wearing short clothes'. On the other hand not every girl who is religious and wears traditional clothes is good, innocent or 'pure'. I know many girls who do those things and are mean bitches. Also, the lack of self esteem in a person is not a good quality, it is a bad one.

The acting is not remarkable either. Saif overacts in almost every scene and looks too old to flirt with young women. In real life, a young girl would/should call the cops if someone like him tried to flirt with her. He seemed like a pervert. Diana does not understand how to give facial expressions for different emotions. The only good acting was from Deepika. Dimple and Boman Irani had very short roles. The main characters, who are supposed to have the 'happy ending' lack chemistry. The dialogues lack originality and are forgettable. At some points I didn't understand what a character is trying convey with his/her dialogues. They were that bad. The direction was hopeless too. In some scenes I thought the director is trying to stretch out the movie to make it more than 2 hours long even when there is nothing happening in the scene or there are no dialogues. Sadly, there were many such scenes. The music of the songs was very good but the lyrics were not.

Apart from Deepika's acting, foot-tapping music by Pritam and one hilarious scene where Saif dances on a famous Bollywood item song, there was nothing entertaining about the movie.

It's because of movies like these that I keep wanting to give up on Bollywood.",1

"I'm actually quite disappointed, I had quite high expectations because of the perfection of the story in the game but I feel they destroyed a perfect story on this one.

It started good about 2 episodes but then focused to much on the background stories of the characters at the cost of the actual present story and shortened and/or cut out much of the good parts from the game.

I didn't get the feelings of perfection as I did from the game and couldn't relate to the characters and the troubles they're facing.

"Comics were a part of my youth. I enjoyed a number of Marvel's heroes back then. There is no denying that the superhero phenomenon has enchanted audiences everywhere. Marvel has done an excellent job capturing the sentiments that drew so many to these heroes in our younger years. I'm not a kid anymore though and neither are a LOT of Marvel's fans. It doesn't seem to have impacted their success at all, but for the small portion of us hoping for something a little more ""grown-up"" from Marvel, Daredevil is the perfect show.

Daredevil always seemed a little like Batman in that he had no ""out of this world"" superpowers. Rather, he was formed by events in his childhood and grew up with a burning desire to defend the good people in his city. The double-life weighs heavily on aspiring lawyer Matt Murdoch, but he is seemingly ""possessed"" with the desire to cleanse his city of the wicked. A darker city, a villain that doesn't seem too far removed from some of our corrupt rich and powerful, bloodshed, violence, profanity, death, and betrayal. Daredevil doesn't feel dumbed down or softened in any way to appeal to wider audiences. That is precisely why it is so effective.

Now, if only Spawn could get a reboot that would wash away the memory of that horrid film as this show has done for Affleck's Daredevil.",9

"I enjoyed the first season. It's pretty much average. I would say a 6 or 7 star. The storytelling is a bit convoluted, and the timing between switching from character to character is a little to long. The anachronic timeline was a plus, in my point of view.

The second season was a step down. It kept the convoluted storytelling and lost the ""surprise element"". I mean: they could have been more epic while using the cliffhangers from last season. Also, Geralt is to underpowered, or doesn't show his skills enough. That's a waste of resources. After season 2, I say it's middle range, 5/10. Maybe they can step it up a bit if we see a 3rd season.",5

The writing is the worst culprit as it fails to create characters or a story one can care about. In fact, they are both mostly irritating in a repetitive, hackneyed manner. Gabriel's gag is a good example. He shows up naked without any idea who he is. Rather than creating comedy or deftly moving the story along, his forgetfulness scene goes on and on until my finger kept inching towards the back button on the wand. And while many of the actors are well known and mostly proficient here, they just stutter in wild eyed alarm or fear much of the time without any redeeming qualities to endear themselves to the audience. That's a bad omen. Again, it's a failure of the writing not the actors, but this series is not even remotely entertaining.",2

This is a movie with no thrilling story, the whole thing expected with nothing to get you to continue. I think the movie is overrated which deceived me into watching it in the first place. Don't waste your time or money on this. I wanted to see Tom Cruise, but I think this is one of his worst.",1
"I live movies. I watch them in silence, with great attention. But in all honesty, I went to take my computer on my legs to work a bit while watching this movie in the corner of my eyes after the 1hr mark. So slow, and uneventful.

Why such a high imdb rating? Probably because a lot of Americans have voted here, and America loves seing movies showing America of the 50s/60s/70s. You know... when America was ""great"" (supposedly, according to some).

Or maybe it's just me, after seeing a lot of great recent international movies, realizing that Hollywood now stands in the past.

Spielberg, like Cameron, Scorsese and plenty of others should have unplugged their cameras a long time ago... should we talk about the pitiful ""The Irishman"" which gets a 7.8 rating in here?

I already knew that some crowds are being generous with their votes, and sensitive to to things they see. It's all about understanding how to read the ratings. In my experience:


So... I should have know... with just 7.6, I should have passed on it. And unless you're an utterly bored American who has 3hours to waste, I suggest you do the same.",5
"I started watching only murders in the building after seeing a trailer for it and at first I was a bit doubtful but as the season progressed and I got to see and learn more of each character and their traits I fell in love with it. The build up to the climaxes are so enjoyable, it really leaves you wondering who-dunnit?

Its a refreshing take on murder mysteries and I love the cast, they gel well together and honestly without Mabel and her guys the show would not be what it is. It is funny, thrilling and full of drama which I absolutely love. I binged all 3 seasons and cannot wait for a 4th season. What i really liked it that it was not predictable, there were many characters who could have been the murderer and so that was quite nice. Even if there are 10 more seasons but they keep the writing and storylines just as great, I will keep watching.",10
"What was that? Sure, the sets were cool. The concept was also unique. But being artsy for the sake of being artsy can leave a project in a mess. This was one convoluted movie. I found it to be original, but certainly not brilliant. It had the potential to be a lot more. The main drawback of ""The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"" was the sloooow deadpan pace of the film. This movie was in desperate need of more humor. In fact, the few humorous moments were the highlight of the whole darn thing. It also needed to ditch the subplots - very boring - and spend more time on the romance or in Jim Carrey's mind. Charlie Kaufmann had a great concept, but I can't say he delivered. Elijah Wood is also going to have a tough time excelling at not being Frodo. I guess I just don't relate to the awe some reviewers got from this movie. Being bizarre cannot alone a great film make. It also has to hold one's interest. To compare to another recent fantasy type film, I thought ""Big Fish"" was better. 5/10",5
"I was anxiously waiting to see this movie after it had been advertised. Finally caught it on HBO! I have really enjoyed watching Sandra Bullock in all the movies she has ever done and she did do an amazing acting job in this movie. However, I was disappointed with how fake and seemingly unrealistic the scenes were in the movie. There were several times that Bullock's character would have died due to extreme changes in pressure. I also thought Bullock's character could have been developed much more into a good story line. To me, the movie was just a series of events that did not create any realistic suspense. Unfortunately, sadly disappointed.",3
"Essentially a poor man's Quiet Place meets The Happening. Sandra Bullock is fantastic in this, she really is but her performance alone cant fix this film's glaring narrative issues.",5
"I am not one to binge TV shows, or even watch them to begin with, although, I LOVE movies. I am very stubborn with which TV shows I invest my time with. With that being said, Stranger Things is one of those few shows that I am so pleased with. I found the idea of the show so unique and imaginative. Im not usually one for Sci-Fi type content, however this was executed in such a way to appeal to my standards. One thing I thought was fascinating was the fact that shows start to decline as the seasons progress. Stranger Things proves anything is possible, as the seasons were just as consistent, if not better from season one to three! I still catch myself watching certain scenes on YouTube, enjoying them as if it's my first time. Im a sucker for some good emotion in any cinematography, I think its the icing on top. The finale of season three really filled that expectation for me, and then some! I really enjoyed this series and I am looking forward for what the cast and crew has in store for us in season 4.",9
"I hadn't liked the first 2 MI movies and gave up on the series until, because I like Brad Bird, I watched Ghost Protocol. Which was genuinely entertaining and made me think that perhaps the series overall was better than my first impression. So I looked to see what was considered the best in the series, which is Fallout, which is, like the first two, crappy.

The movie begins with Ethan Hunt making a stupid mistake. No, not a decision to save someone, a stupid, avoidable mistake. And then, after a cute little moment, we get an irksome, predictable fly in the ointment in the guise of Henry Cavill, one of several characters who have you wondering, idiot or traitor?

In between the stupidity are twists, some better than others, and mainly drab action scenes, excepting a fun multi-level chase and a final crazy bit in the mountains.

There are also a few moments of bathos that had me violently rolling my eyes.

The best thing in the movie was Vanessa Kirby as a cool Bond-ish villainess. But it's a small role.

Unless another director I really like such as Bird makes one of these, this is the last time I get suckered into an MI movie.

Not recommended.",5
"I admit that When you watch the first episode, it makes want to watch them all. At the end, you wont waste your time, but you want get some masterpiece of a show that you may be searching for. The casting is very good. I also liked the whole 80s atmosphere that creators want to get. It has perfect soundtrack, something that makes the show more likable. But nevertheless, at the end of it all you get the feeling like it is ""Steven King wanna be"" movie or ""Twin Peaks for kids"" or ""Darker version of E.T"". While you watch it, it brings nostalgia for all that 80s movies. And the creators get that feeling very good. You kinda think that it was really shoot at the 80s. Not the best show on earth, but worth watching. Seven from ten from me.",7
"This has to be one of the dumbest movies ever. It had no plot. These two kids were trying to make a situation fun about getting some alcohol so they can get laid.. which seems to never happen. What is going on with the two cops in this movie? All of a sudden they are drinking beers while on duty and fire their weapons into thin air with this civilian. Come on. I know this is supposed to be a comedy but give me a break. This went above and beyond ridiculous.

I will say this though. The movie started out really funny. The character that played Seth seemed hilarious at first. But what was with the ""F"" bombs being said every five seconds. That started getting old real quick.

I was also surprised at a few scenes that where very creative and shocking. They seemed to have taken me for a thrill. It was very creative.

Needless to say, I walked out with 30 minutes to go. This picture truly was/is ""Super Bad""!!!",10
"I don't know where to start with this show, it's just incredible! I've seen it twice and I was on the edge of my seat just as much second time round even though I knew what was coming! The 24 hour concept is done really well, the acting and scripts/stories are done so so well. My favourite season has to be season 5 with my least favourite being 6. All characters from Jack Bauer to George Mason are really well explained and any main character deaths are really emotional and hard hitting. I highly recommend watching this show.",10
In the past these movies have had the remote possibility of reality but this time he is more like Superman. The stuns are all CGI and very in-realistic.,4
"Everyone has got the mix of movies this series combines or rip-offs. Winona Ryder does a great job and is totally believable but she is basically doing a female Richard Dreyfuss in Close Encounters. On the one hand, every role has a parallel in something you've seen before. On the other hand, you can't say that all the actors don't do good jobs or that the show isn't entertaining. Actually very entertaining. I guess the person who steals the show is the young girl who plays ""Eleven"" Millie Bobby Brown and Winona Ryder comes in second and Natalia Dyer is kind of fun to watch as well but nowhere near Ryder or Millie Bobby Brown. But Steven Spielberg and about 6 other directors and writers should have their names added to the credits. But, heh, it's TV. It's Netflix and it is good.",7
"Don't watch this anime it is very boring the main character is always shown as weakling.If you have seen animes like naruto,one punch man etc then you will never like this anime.I don't what they want to show in this anime by keeping the main character weak.",1
I hope it won't be continued to 5 season and this story itself was done a while ago. All that is happening in new episodes is just waste of the budget and viewers time(,1
"This review may seem as schizophrenic as Downey's Sherlock. As others have noted, there are reasons to like this movie and reasons to hate it.

Starting with why I hated it, this is not the Sherlock Holmes I remember. Sure the name is used but do not expect to see the quality detective story and character as done in the past. What we get instead is a distorted, cartoonish version of a great detective. The movie could have used other characters instead of Holmes and Watson. The movie would have been more appealing if it had in fact used a new pair of detectives. Ahhh, but Ritchie is going to make money thanks to the currently popular name of Robert Downey. In the meantime he gets to recreate, and even pollute the name of Holmes for the sake of opportunity, glory and money. That is even more devious than a plot from Blackwood or Moriarty. Even worse, Holmes is not a man of great confidence and intelligence. He resembles someone who is everything and yet nothing. A lonely, alcoholic, schizoid with little regard for sense and sensibility, he seems more able to succeed thanks to luck and surprisingly loyal friends. And yet he is an accomplished fighter, again with a great deal of cartoonish luck. How sad and pathetic. That being said, nothing really need be said about Watson.

Now for the good. The story, imagining this is not about Holmes and Watson but some other unkowns, was pretty good. I liked the mystery and the evil Blackwood. I liked old London. I liked the fast pace in picking up clues and developing mystery. The action was good and the humor was OK. I preferred Watson over Holmes. Jude Law's interpretation of Watson was more appealing than Holmes( I even got to the point, where I didn't care much for Holmes). Well, that's it for the good.

If you don't care for the traditional Sherlock Holmes, you may very well like this movie. But if you want to see the traditional Holmes and Watson get a clue and you will miss this slap in the face of tradition.

2 out of 10 for destroying tradition but a 6 out of 10 for a good attempt at making a fun detective movie. That averages out to a 4, Lestrade.",4
"Inception is an entertaining, mind blowing summer blockbuster which I thought was average.

This is about a thief who has the ability to access someone's dreams and steal info from them. After, he goes on one final mission, it becomes complicated as an outside force attempts to stop him and his team.

This is a mostly astonishing film. It requires the audience to remain on the edge of their seats in its entirety. Many modern summer blockbusters are thoughtless and hollow. It's great to see something of its complexity come out this time of the year. It's real refreshing.

The action is magnificent. It's done in a great way and the movie utilizes the dreams to make truly visually spectacular scenes. Some of the best scenes include the zero gravity fight in the hallway and the van falling into the river in slow motion.

Although it's easy to get lost in Inception's plot, Christopher Nolan doesn't expect you to understand every element of this film. You just have to understand that this is a movie you have to watch again. But it's plot is handled with meticulous care.

But this movie isn't the best with character development. At first I was going to ignore this but now that I think of it - what exactly do we know about Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character? Most of the other characters were pushed aside and we didn't get any time to connect with them emotionally. The film also had pacing issues as its opening took a while to pick up.

Also, a couple of the rules didn't make sense. For instance, the kick. How come no one was woken up after their van was rammed off the road, flipped over several times, and came to a crashing stop below? Also, the introduction of limbo felt pointless. So, if you die in a dream, you end up in limbo. However, if you die in limbo, you wind up back in the dream. What's the threat of going into limbo then?

In conclusion, I thought it was alright. It has nice action scenes and a complicated plot. However, I don't think that it's anything else than a good sci-fi/action flick with a few flaws.",5
"This movie had the potential. Great actors, great story but unfortunately it doesn't deliver. If you saw the trailer then you saw everything. I'm really disappointed as I like Sandler and Aniston but they are just not funny. Maybe they should start spending money on the writers instead of the visuals.",2
"We're halfway through the series now, and so far the entire plot could be summed up in two sentences. One, if you use a comma. The dialogue is painful and there are some serious logic flaws in most of the ""battle"" scenes. Marvel has also decided, since this show is obviously marketed toward the machismo-driven man audience, to throw in some tongue-in-cheek ""no homo""-type scenes. I've counted no less than four so far. Very disappointing compared to any other movie in the MCU, and especially when compared to the ingenuity and creativity seen in wandavision. Very disappointed so far.",2
Its simply a bad movie. Boring feom the beggining. Terrible movie,4
Even though gosling gives ken such of a good play. This movie was to peachy. Really not good in my opinion but it was a good movie to sleep to. And my five year old daughter was so happy to see the movie and she loved the popcorn. And the ending was amazing to be a bad movie. I'd say the movie is good in the beginning but it's still badly written and the plot isn't good enough to make a movie like this one or something else that I think is better in that regard and it's not that good at the same level of story but it still makes it a great film to see and see and it is worth a watch and I don't know if.,4
"High end action let down by non-existent plot. A series of action sequences, that's what the film is about. No logic whatsoever behind why the Bangladesh army and police bring on all their forces to prevent this 'extraction'. They have represented Bangladesh as if it's some war zone. Makes no sense whatsoever. Getting tired of false Western narratives about South Asia.",2
"Absolutely iconic Anime! The plot, the twists, the bad-ass Star Wars-y type characters (especially the villains (my personal favorites), the voice acting, and the animation (for the first 4 seasons) all absolutely amazing! This is a show/manga that really made my childhood/tween years and I still love everything about it now even as I'm older. This is a dope as show for pretty much all ages and I'd recommend it to anyone who's into the superhero and teenage genres, even if they don't particularly watch or like anime. This is a very good first anime too if you're someone wanting to get into it.",9
"I have already seen too many mafia biographies, and the peak of the genre is Good Fellas. Nobody can outdone Good Fellas, not even Scorsese himself. Here we find the classical themes of a mafia biography spanning from 50s to 70s, the usual wonderful camera work, the maniacal reconstruction of that era. This is all a Scorsese obsession, like a kid that maniacally wants to go back to his childhood. The movie is very predictable, to the point that you can easily anticipate each scene. Last but least, casting De Niro as an irish is total crazy.",5
"It's hard to give an objective review when you are dealing with favourite movies. Having just watched this for the first time in years I was delighted to see it was as magnificent as I remembered it. Francis Ford Coppola would have been sensible to be wary of doing a sequel when he'd just made a film as acclaimed as The Godfather. How do you follow that? Amazingly he managed to broaden the themes of the original, producing a study of power and corruption that may be unequalled in Hollywood history. And whereas some critics found the first film questionable in its moral compass (is Michael supposed to be a hero?) the sequel leaves us in no doubt that he has passed on into something else and as his wife Kay shrewdly notices, there is no coming back. Judge the film on its own merits and ignore the continuation of the saga in Part III. This is the final Michael as we should always remember him.

The scope of Part II is extraordinary (as if the first film wasn't bold enough!) with the story of father Vito in 1920s New York cross- cut with son Michael's rivalry with ageing mobster Hymen Roth, a respected, though never trusted, business partner of his father. These later sequences may not make sense on first viewing but there are some remarkable set pieces from revolutionary Cuba to a Senate committee in Washington. This is a no holds barred portrait of American society corrupt and hypocritical from top to bottom. How often has Hollywood been so daring

The film invites a contrast between father and son, with young family man Vito embracing criminality out of necessity and using his status to become a 'Godfather' in the Italian American community. Meanwhile in his middle age Michael has become a Don hooked on vengeance with all business now personal. The inevitable conclusion of which is a violent crescendo with him not just wiping out his enemies (again) but committing the far worse sin of betraying his own family.

Few films can have gathered such a fine cast. Al Pacino's Michael is the symbol of idealism turned sour in extremis. More than anything this is what elevates The Godfather over so many other gangster films. He's not just some Goodfella or ordinary guy, he once aspired to be a great man but somewhere something went wrong. Robert Duvall as Tom Hagen is the great constant across the two films, always at the side, never changing, but in his reaction to the transformation of Michael we get confirmation of his moral decline. Diane Keaton as Kay has a meatier role this time and as the voice of 'respectable' America shows the futility of Michael's actions. If he can't keep his family together, what's it all for? John Cazale's Fredo is a tragedy of his own. Secretly resentful of his younger brother, their mutual betrayal becomes one of the emotional cores of the saga. Replacing the character of Clemenza proved relatively easy as even if the story loses something, Michael V. Gazzo was memorable whilst the legendary Lee Strasborg is a suitably cast as rival/partner and pretend Uncle to Michael Hymen Roth, delivering one of the movies' great speeches.

So often artists seem burdened by great achievements, but not here. One can only assume that the young Coppola was so exulted by the critical and commercial phenomenon of The Godfather, he felt capable of anything and judging by this, he near enough was. One only wonders why he's largely struggled to reach similar heights ever since.",10
NEW CONCEPT ATOZ IN MOVIE STORYLINE AMAZING ALL CHARACTER ACTING AWESOME,10
The show is dragging as hell and the creator thought they will get succed by releasing it in weekly basis despite being OTT platform show.,1
"Martin Scorsese is beloved for many people in the community. I'm not one of them. I watch the movie without thinking a lot of who direct that movie. I want to enjoy of the production like the final product, then I would care about who participate in his creation. But this time, it was impossible to not know who make this movie. Everybody was talking about who made ""The Irishman"" because it seems like Martin Scorsese is a recognize director. I haven't watched any of his movies and after watching ""The Irishman"" I don't want to neither.

Martin Scorsese was the man who said the Marvel Movies weren't cine. So after the hype of this movie, I was expecting to see what cine really is. I was disappointed.

The Irishman is a very well-made movie. It has good shots, great acting and good CGI to make his cast look younger. That's all the compliments I could give to this movie.

The story in the Irishman is just boring. It seems like it will be something good and full of twists and emotions, that it will be a wild ride but I wasn't really moved for anything. This movie is so long, and it doesn't feel like it should have last that much. I didn't feel entertained. I was all the time expecting for this film to end because I never felt like it was going somewhere.

I know Marvel movies aren't artistic or pretentious enough, but not a single person watch Marvel features with an intention to watch the next masterpiece of the decade. People watch Marvel flicks because they know they are going to be entertained. Even though their films are predictable and they don't risk a lot, they are entertaining. You watch Marvel movies because it doesn't pretend to be something that is not. ""The Irishman"" pretends to be a masterpiece, art and one of the most amazing movies in the world. But you need to be entertaining too.",2
"Kudos to TVF. Finally a show which echo the aspirations and temperament of Indian youth. Very well written and equally perfectly enacted. It is a simple story but keeps you engrossed really well. Finally India is coming up with shows which can match the western sitcoms. And above all thanks to the ""season"" format which spares a lot of room to imagination until next season comes up. Just love the hidden jokes and slapstick humor. It takes a lot of courage and perseverance to come up with such a fresh looking show. The only thing i wold like to change will be the lead female actor, who, although average, is annoying at places (like when she is leaving for London and trying to convince her boy friend to convince her to not go, this scene was stretched a bit too long, and that too at a very crucial moment)

The makers should concentrate more on the central actors, the entrepreneurs!",10

"One of the most awaited movies of the year, the first part of Gangs of Wasseypur lives up to expectations. However, the only disappointing aspect of the movie is that one has to wait for the part two of the movie to see how the story unfolds. The movie is based at Wasseypur and other surrounding areas of Dhanbad. The time-line of the movie spans from early 1940s to early 1990s. The second part of the movie is expected to span from early 1990s to mid 2000s. It's a story of Pathans Shahid Khan (played by Jaideep Ahlawat)and his son Sardar Khan (Manoj Bajpayee, Qureshis, and politician-cum-coal mine owner-cum- local don Ramadheer Singh (Tigmanshu Dhulia)and his son. The tussle between Pathans and Qureshis, and that between Shahid Khan and Sardar Khan on one side and Ramadheer Singh and his son on the other side are the highlights of the movie. In between, one also sees different facets of coal mafia, revenge, rivalries among Muslims, and even love stories too. The movie is intense, gripping, and has a fair sprinkling of cuss words one finds in Bihar and Jharkhand, where the film is based. The music of the film is another highlight, and one needs to watch the film to fully realize the relevance of songs in the film. In short: a must- watch movie for those who love hard hitting movies with great acting from all the actors.",9
"Ninety percent intriguing but in the end in order to resolve the storyline we had to put up with the ""get out of gaol free card"" of arbitrary ""superpowers"" which, paradoxically, is what attracts the punters in the first place but always leaves me dissatisfied.

"Obviously, people love this show. Currently, it has 8.9 on IMDB, it has 94% on Rotten Tomatoes... so, yeah. It's one of the most popular shows out there now. But is it really that good? Let's see.

First of all, Stranger Things is an extremely well-made series. The atmosphere is there, it's well-direcred, acting is surprisingly good (even kids are doing great here), it's very stylish, soundtrack is very solid and has a lot of licensed songs from the past... It's some really high quality job we have here. The problem is - the story.

Long story short, Stranger Things is some sort of tribute to 80s and 90s. Which (technically) may be a right choice. People love 80s, after all. People who were born back then love them because of pure nostalgia, millennials love them because of all that pop culture thing that makes them want to feel ""rad"" too from time to time... 80s can sell stuff. Any kind of stuff. From video games to expensive movies. So, the choice do feel right. Especially since, like I said, Netflix did some really good job here. Not only Stranger Things is a stylish show, it was able to create the right atmosphere. Like 2017 version of It did. It does feel like 80s. Like real 80s. Even if you were born back then, you won't feel like somebody's trying to fool you here. It feels like a real deal.

Unfortunately, Stranger Things went too far in its chase for vintage feeling. If you wasn't born yesterday, you'll be able to see that this show has nothing new in it. Exactly nothing. It just takes a lot of stuff from the old movies and TV shows and just throws it at you all over again. E.T., The X-Files, It, Twin Peaks, you name it. I'm pretty sure they did it on purpose, just because some scenes were re-created as is, without even trying to hide it, and it may be OK as some sort of tribute, but... there's nothing else here. Only those recycled ideas and images from the old shows. And that's exactly what kills the show to me. The Duffer Brothers are clearly love retro, but they literally lost themselves in it. And all that reminds me a lot of Ready Player One effect. It's cool to see a town with heavy Twin Peaks feeling in it with those mysterious guys from The X-Files and kids interacting with strange and scary things like in E.T., or It. But every single minute I keep asking myself ""What's new here?"" And the answer is - nothing. The whole writing feels like it was done by some schoolkid. A very nerdy schoolkid, who just loved all those old movies and TV shows and therefore wanted to make ""something like them"". You know how it is when kids begin to write their first stories. They just collect everything they like, mix it together and call it their own. That's pretty much what happened here. Back in my school days there was no chance to get a good grade for such a lame work. Just because you can barely call it a proper writing. It's just that - an imitation.

Like Ready Player One (the book came out in 2011, so, I think it's OK to compare stories), story in Stranger Things isn't that important. Because the whole thing is more like an amusement park. It shows you 80s, you can see a lot of vintage stuff you probably used to have as a kid, it lets you hear some popular music from that period, it makes you remember about the old shows you used to love as a kid... but it doesn't really create anything new. It's not a thing on its own. Just a high quality tribute. Stranger Things may be fun to watch with some pizza and beer on your day free, but, like I said, it's just a way to enjoy the atmosphere and remember the real deals you used to see before. There's nothing to remember. Nothing to keep in your heart for years. Nothing to contribute to pop culture. It's an imitation. And when it's about imitations, it doesn't really matter how nicely they're done. Those are imitations and that's it. So, sorry, no high rating from me. You don't put an imitation of good paining in your living room. You put it in your toilet.",6
"On 13 November Whiplash – directed by Damien Chazelle starring Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons – will premier at the Netherlands cinema. This movie about an ambitious and talented drum player and his dominant, relentless teacher, is expected to do well, based on the positive reception it had in many countries and at several festivals. Even before its release the movie opened the Leiden International Film Festival, and won the LIFF Indie Competition. General appreciation is also shown at IMDb, where the film scores 87/100 with about 4400 votes.

The story that the movie brings forward is not new. Andrew, a young drum player, enrolls at the high-class, well-reputed Shaffer Conservatory, where he meets Fletcher, an infamous teacher working with high standards and non-compromising methods. Andrew attracts his attention and a struggle between the two characters begins when Andrew secures the position of first drum in the school band practicing for the national school competition. The movie focuses on the two main characters, and the way in which they interrelate with the aim to realize the best drum performance for the school's honor, but more so for their own prestige and ego.

Although the movie excels in cinematography, acting and music – provided you at least like some level of jazz music – the story doesn't seem to convince. The strict focus on the two men and their sole purpose leads to repetition in the narrative, following the cycle of insult and pressure from the teacher, hard work and pain by the student, and short-term victory for both when a performance succeeds. Even at the end of the movie, when things seem to turn around, the teacher again tries to push the student into a great performance, which he indeed delivers.

Additional characters, such as the student's father, girl friend or other musicians at the school, are just there to support the main story. They never get any depth or backgrounds, and their role is minimal; they are there to underline how determined and ambitious Andrew really is. The school functions as decor, with musicians as extra's and no sign of a board, other teachers or school infrastructure.

Focusing on one aspect of a human relationship can produce interesting and compelling movies, but Whiplash is not a good example. Besides the elimination of all surrounding factors, there is another possible reason why the story doesn't convince me. The general idea underlying the story is that real talent blossoms with hardship and pain. Consequently, the message is delivered that it is good to bully and mistreat a student with talent, so that he or she gets to full development. To my mind this message is not true, at least not always, and needs more justification than a flat, straight story about two egocentric men struggling for power and recognition.",4
"The series claims to be of 1989, but it got everything wrong. They recreated some period pieces like karamchand to bring upon a nostalgic feeling, but make no mistake, this is absolute trash.

Here characters hug in cafes, youth are shown to be okay with pre-marital sex, cakes in bakeries look like cakes from today, people are celebrating Valentine's Day in 1989!! They just got NOTHING right.

The female college goer talks like an absolute bimbo who's interested in nothing but materialism, another wannabe cool character thinks this obsession with sex covers up for his inability to understand ""love""....and all character stupidly go on saying they don't understand what is ""love"". Like, seriously?? How crass can the makers be? Have you ever heard about something called ""characterization ""??

I don't know who from Netflix decides on these kind of shows to be brought from India, but whoever that person is, they got it very wrong to give unskilled directors and makers to make such a tacky, cringe show.

I feel like I wasted my time by watching the first episode. And of course it's tough to go beyond that.",1
"It was a though experience trying to watch this movie. Everything about it is so boring and already overused in the industry. 2 hours of same old movie scheme with a generic open ending. Open endings are not left for you to imagine, open endings are just the work of a bad director who is too afraid to screw up the movie even more.",3
"This is hands down the best Marvel film to date. Expertly made by The Winter Soldier directors Anthony and Joe Russo, and featuring a complex and intriguing story combined with some astonishing action, Captain America: Civil War is a riveting, exciting, and most of all massively entertaining ride from start to finish.

I'm going to start with what I loved most about this movie: the action. The Russo Brothers proved in The Winter Soldier that they can make some amazingly exciting action sequences, and they've upped their game here in Civil War. From the word go, this film is filled to the brim with intense and exciting action, filmed in a brilliantly sleek way that makes it all the more enjoyable to watch.

There are at least four major action sequences (one of which is probably the best we've seen this century) in this movie, a fact that would normally condemn a film to being too explosive. Here, however, thanks to the longer running time, you get good and necessary breaks between those major set-pieces, meaning that when it's time to up the tempo, it feels so satisfying to watch.

However, a great action movie is nothing without a good story. Fortunately, Civil War delivers stunningly on the storytelling front too. Despite being enjoyable to watch, Marvel's films have had a tendency over the last eight years to feel a little thin when it comes to genuine thrills and drama, and that's what makes Civil War stand out so much from the rest of the MCU.

I won't deny that the film may be a little overlong, and a little overstuffed in the first act, but when the pieces gradually begin to come together, it makes for a thoroughly captivating watch. Civil War's premise puts the world's most powerful heroes at odds, and its story lives up to that perfectly.

This isn't a civil dispute, this is a civil war, and at every moment, there's a really strong and serious emphasis on how high the stakes are. This is a film that matters. It's got emotional depth, political intrigue, and as many superheroes as you can imagine clashing in the most epic way, and that's something that we've not seen from a superhero movie in any way since The Dark Knight.

Overall, Captain America: Civil War is a brilliant film. It's just as entertaining as you'd expect from Marvel, but with a heap of astonishing action sequences and a more serious, intelligent and high-stakes story, it makes for hugely riveting viewing.",8
"This was a regular Michael Bay movie. One liners, slow motion cameras, product placement over saturation, and under developed story line. From the first 15 minutes unrealistic explosions ran rampant. A car lightly taps another BOOOM! The plot was all over the place. Half the movie I couldn't tell if I was in an origin story of a character or in the present. This movie for sure gave me long lasting physical pain. That I sat through all of it disgusts me, and makes me question my mental health. Thank God it was on Netflix, wasting money on this would have ruined my weekend.",3
"""Based on true events"" and a ""7.7 rating"" made me watch this movie. But to my disappointment, the movie gave me a headache. Not worth spending 2.5 hours of your time. There are so many names, so many intricacies, it feels like you're running in a maze. Just when you feel like FINALLY you've found a way out, here comes another twist (not the kind which keeps you at the edge of your seat, the kind that wants you to bang your head on a wall).

The ending was also quite distressing - probably a strong depiction of our flawed judicial system?",2
"After some episodes, which was just stupid, I planned to rate it with 1 star. But when I increase engagement , I found that it was not so bad what I thought in previous. So rated it with an average. Liked it. All the best to the director.",7

"""The Witcher"" TV series, based on the beloved book series and video games, is a fantasy that fails to live up to its potential and leaves much to be desired.

While Henry Cavill delivers a passable performance as Geralt of Rivia, the show's attempt to capture the depth and complexity of the character falls flat. The often wooden dialogue and a lack of emotional depth in the characters make it difficult to truly connect with their struggles and motivations. The chemistry between the cast members feels forced at times, failing to build a strong emotional resonance.

The non-linear narrative structure, while ambitious, creates unnecessary confusion and fails to add depth to the storytelling. Rather than enhancing the viewer's understanding of the characters and plot, it often serves as a frustrating distraction. The jumbled timelines make it hard to follow and invest in the unfolding story.

The production values may be visually impressive, with well-crafted landscapes and costume design, but these elements alone cannot salvage the series from its narrative shortcomings. The monster designs, while intriguing, often serve as mere distractions from the underlying issues with character development and storytelling.

""The Witcher"" struggles with pacing issues, with certain episodes feeling rushed and others dragging on without much substance. The attempt to juggle a multitude of plotlines and character arcs results in a disjointed viewing experience that leaves the audience wanting for a more cohesive narrative.",5
It's like a documentary about what happen during that time. Great performance!,8
"This show is probably the highest rated show I've began to watch with the worst, , overly dramatic, unrealistic acting I've seen in my 45 years. There is not a single realistic interaction or dialogue between characters. There's zero character development. Why do I care about this Rivia? He's not likeable at all. Or the princess? They give you no reason to care. Cavill survives on his looks abd name entirely I see now. Name he made essentially playing someone in Superman who everybody's gonna love regardless of actor, requires no range, just more brooding. He gets away with his inability to act a single realistic interaction, over dramatizing because the Superman name was already made long ago and I assume the way he looks. I would've said I was a minor fan before this but this show exposes his lack of acting talent and the fact that he gets by on his looks and roles that require no range. Whoever directed this must live in an entirely fantasy world to believe this level of over acting is the best route to go. It makes a soap opera's characters seem realistic and the interactions organic. Some of my favorites were where the Rivia , who is almost impossible for other characters to communicate with decides he suddenly needs to tell the story of killing his first monster to his horse in a forest when necessary for the upcoming scene and I can only guess was an attempt at character development. Character development through acting completely out of character. Which is probably the most consistent part of the show. Characters say one thing in one scene then contradict it later the same episode. The viewer isn't given credit for being smart enough to spot this. They say lines that suit the current scene but the past scenes/episodes or coming episodes totally conflict with those lines. It's a bloody mess. Or the former Hunchback mage sits beside the infant who's just died and goes through a dialogue intended to bring sadness for its passing but is entirely selfish and self pitying. Yet the unmatching sad, dramatic music plays. And

It makes me further miss and makes evident how special Game of Thrones was(excluding its final season). I'd give it lower than 5 if it weren't evident alot money was spent on the superficial parts of the show.",5
"The original Lost in Space was a product of its time - looking forward. So is this one. But the differences are still worthwhile - and while the first series had a tendency to view people as one-dimensional (good or evil) - this one views people as multi-faceted. Real people who make real mistakes, who regret them and live with the consequences. Some of whom take responsibility for their actions - and some of whom try to avoid responsibility for their actions.

Is it perfect? Of course not. But it's a darn good ride.

Oh, and the original theme song? Runs during the end credits!",9
"This series claims to be a horror series but it dosent really seem very scary to me, and by that i dont mean that their scare tactics are terrible, i mean that they literally dont even attempt to be scary. ive only seen a few episodes of this and there was not a single moment where it seemed like the writers intended for it to actually be scary, sure there were some shocking moments but nothing that really invoked fear to me, this is really more of a thriller series than anything, which sucks because i feel like this does have the potential to actually be a pretty good horror series but it seems like the writers just dont want that",4
"And silly in a good way. While being more predictable than the first, this movie is a blast all the way through. The political message is also an uplifting part.

With a great cast that complement eachother really well. Daniel Craig while having a bit of a cartoonish accent puts on a new aspect of his repertoar that is very fun to watch. The cinematography also is a intriguing addition to the suspense of the mystery.

The odd addition of ethan hawke as miles guest however is fun at first but doesn't add anything to the comedy nor the plot.

Overall this movie is just fun and entertaining and doesn't take it self too seriously. It is a great movie to put on if you want to have a good time.

And any movie that has Dave Bautista is a must watch in my book.",8
"I'm writing this spoiler-free review because this show has touched a nerve in me and the reaction to it by many people is confusing me. I strongly feel that the story was a very honest portrayal of the downward spiral into suicide and as a result i was affected quite deeply by it. Most of the negative reactions i've read to it are from people thinking that Hannah was just dramatic, over sensitive and self-victimising and therefore had no ""right"" to kill herself or blame anyone else. If you thought that then you simply didn't get it. What's annoying about it is that that was the exact point of the entire show. It was told from Hannah's POV and was supposed to show how her own emotional weakness and psychological personality were equally or even mainly responsible for her downward spiral. That's the complexity of suicide and the human mind. You can be a great, loving and generous person, as Hannah was, but also be incredibly flawed and lose sight of reality and self-victimise to ridiculous lengths.

I just wanted to advise new viewers to not assume that just because it's being told from the POV of the suicide victim doesn't mean that the writers are trying to say that what she thinks is always fact or morally right. The entire point is that some people are very sensitive, emotionally unstable and deeply flawed and it causes them to make bad decisions at times and these things can compound into suicide.

I'd just like to add that if you had already understood what i just described but still disliked it and thought Hannah was unrelatable and unlikable then that's grand, each to their own. If you didn't however then you really missed a fundamental part of the story about the reality of suicide.",9
"The Fablemans is an ordinary tale about an extraordinary person. Spielberg's semi-autobiographical film. While Spielberg described it as his most personal film, it does not hit the heights of Spielberg's signature films. It is still a nice film and a fond tribute to his passion and love of cinema. When you reach the great heights of Spielberg you can easily put out a passion project.

The performances are great and really carry this film. Michelle Williams is a standout and delivers a strong performance. I was waiting for the film to take off but I realised it is at the same space or gear for its running. Overall not a bad film but not a spectacular one either. It almost felt like a whole bunch of home made movies from a person's childhood was put together. It is quite ordinary but there was some value in watching the humble beginnings of one of the greatest directors of all time.",7
Expectation was damn high but very much disappoint after seeing this,1
"I am NOT a superhero aficionado. After seeing each such movie I tell myself never to waste the time again. This movie once again did not have any real plot to speak of - a series of unlikely bizarre mega-creatures appear for no apparent reason, our superheroes attack them. Lots of in my opinion not awesome special effects, lots of noise, but nothing really thrilling or even vaguely believable. The hero is a likable guy, but the supporting cast adds nothing. By setting the action in various beautiful places, some semblance of variety is injected, but seeing Venice destroyed by a water monster is just not that exciting. But you can't argue with success as the movie returned some 800% on it's rather sizable budget. Maybe that's why the average Hollywood output addresses a preteen mentality. If this is you, go for it, else look for something more interesting.",4
"A series of episodes exploring parallel stories of important moments in the MCU given. Some are completely new narratives and others explore what would have happened under a slightly different circumstance.

If you are a fan of the MCU then this will be a fun watch.

If you are growing tired of the superhero genre then give this one a pass. The stories are fun, but there is nothing deep or memorable.",7
Overrated movie from overrated director Sofia Coppola. There is no interesting sight in this movie. People in the world has much greater problems than shown in the here. If Sofia Coppola was not ff's daughter no one would see this movie. Totally a waste of time..,5
"Spider-Men, as it should have been titled, is yet more proof that stuffing more action into action pictures doesn't make them exciting. This is a two-and-a-half hour yawn. I almost dislocated my jaw at one point.

My two cents: First, for such a youth-oriented movie, the only cool characters are two of the adults, Dr Strange and Aunt May.

Second, the idea of a multiverse may be the single most damaging addition to Hollywood formulae since John Schuck uttered the F word in M*A*S*H, kicking prudes to the curb (good) but ushering in decades of lazy writing (bad). I had hoped Everything Everywhere All At Once would be the stupidest-ever use of the multiverse, because the hypothesis was wasted on the result: a chick flick, with Mom and daughter reconciling. But Spider-Men is just as stupid.",3
"I just finished season 1 now, so it might be too early, but I honestly can't get over how bad his acting is. I couldnt bare one more episod from vincent d'onofrio. All his scenes seem too forced.",1
"Quite a nice looking premise set up in the trailer regarding a bank robbery elsewhere done by a group of magicians. However, I found a lot of the tricks, and actions taken in the heist very foreseeable - the others were unbelievable (Meaning not realistically possible) The ending was similarly disappointing. I found the acting fine but no one seemed particularly pushed as actors. The four main magicians were pretty unlikeable, and I didn't particularly care about anyone. I don't particularly need a good guy and a bad guy defined for me - but I'd like someone I could empathise with a little. What we have are the usual heist stalwarts: cocky thieves, frustrated detectives, stupid shouty cop's bosses, and a token love interest. This film is as smug as Eisenberg's character. It thinks its a lot cleverer than it is. It can only be compared in the same sentence to The Prestige or Oceans 11 by using the phrase ""much worse than..""

As for a planned sequel: Now you saw me...but then you won't",4
"""Barbie (2023),"" directed and written by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, presents a plot attempting to address social issues and gender expectations but falters in its execution. The story follows Barbie and Ken in Barbieland, a place where gender roles are reversed. While the premise holds potential, the narrative becomes forced and loses coherence.

Barbie's sudden existential crisis and her quest for healing through the real world turn into a series of disjointed and often absurd events. The traps and challenges she faces lack cohesion, and the inclusion of characters like Weird Barbie and Allan adds little meaningful value to the plot. Additionally, the critique of unrealistic beauty standards is presented superficially and clichéd.

Ken's transformation into a rebel leader against the patriarchy feels abrupt and lacks adequate character development. The message about gender equality and overcoming expectations becomes too overt and distances the viewer from the main story.

Although there are attempts to address significant issues, the film gets lost in its own complexity and ends up being a confusing amalgamation of metaphors. The final resolution, with Barbie becoming human and facing everyday situations, seems more like a convenient exit than a thoughtful conclusion.

Overall, Barbie (2023) fails to deliver a coherent and meaningful story, despite its efforts to address relevant social issues. The execution of the plot and characters fails to capture attention or convey a clear message, leaving the audience with a sense of bewilderment and a lack of emotional connection.",1
It's fine. I really enjoyed the first few episodes due to it's tone being so unique especially for the MCU. Loved the way it called back to old sitcoms and took a new approach to that format. What was so captivating about the show was how it didn't follow the marvel formula and that's why the later episodes were really bad. They introduce one of the worst villians in the MCU and eventually that mysterious tone is completly lost. The answers that the show gives to the questions it set up are so underwhelming and the last episode is possibly the worst in of them all. Endings are important and WandaVision does not have a good one . It starts of good but it falls victim to the marvel formula in the worst way which leeds to it being just okay.,6
"Being a DC comic fan....I have to be harsh about the way that this movie was depicted. Everyone who tries to capture the feeling that I have about batman is way way off base....even though this move tries to, it fails miserably. I used to watch the campy TV series...and I didn't know better, because everything was campy back then. I really got into the batman comic when he was disabled by Bane. I was enamored by his comeback and the back story related to it. Batman was trained by the best fighters in the world? Holy crap!!! Batman seemed cool after that! I always was into ninja stuff as a kid as was everyone in my generation. I even bought ninja swords and books related to ninja mysticism. But I digress.....Batman became a beacon of human fortitude. Being as good as or better than his meta-human counterparts. And the detective aspect of his life takes me back to all of the Sherlock Holmes novels that I hold dear to my childhood. I will laud the movie and it's director for trying to capture Batmans essence....but I mean some of the crap in this movie annoys me to no end. Was Bruce Wayne ever trained by Ras Al Ghul?....I never read about that....and the whole ninja story was just stupid to me......where is Shiva? she deserved a mention at the very least. Batman is supposed to be a detective.....why does he seem so oblivious?...and that stupid car!!!!! and it jumping from roof to roof.....boooooo!!!! I was happy to see Jim Gorden in it as a newbie....but why did he seem to accept batman so quickly????? It was so contrived and pointless.....but that's Hollywood for you huh.",4
"The showed was very, very good until the end. The story was interesting and well constructed. The story moved along at a fairly good pace, not too fast and not too slow. Despite couple of minor implausibilities, the show was very effective in drawing the audience into the action. Then comes the ending... Some of it is easily anticipated, but it seemed to put closure on many of the open issues... Then comes the cliff, where the ""mastermind"" behind it all pulls an old 007 routine and tells us why, when, and how... It was such an unintelligent way to end a brilliant show...",5
"The series has all, good characters, to music and even the plot.

Pure perfection and the nostalgia I mean dont get me wrong, but i was super emotional rewatching this series just right now. And its been well over a decade that I saw this for the first time. Just crazy how a series from my childhood can still live up to the standarts I had as a child and go beyond.",10
"I don't understand the high ratings on this show - the story doesn't make much sense. Lot of drinking, smoking, drugs but no other depth in the first two episodes. Netflix has so many poorly rated shows that I wouldn't be surprised these reviews come from a click farm...",1
"Somebody thought it was a good idea to wedge some painfully dull melodrama in between the violence. What's with all this talking? This upsets me, because - simply put - every line of dialogue just means one less killshot to the head. The idea that these cardboard characters supposedly have ""inner lives"" is hilarious. The only ""inner"" I care about is their CGI blood.

Honestly, I didn't really watch this movie, or any of the John Wick movies. I'm sure they exist, but nothing here registers in the permanent memory. I think a guy fell down some steps. Mostly they play in the background while I go about thinking on better movies and not killing people. But I thought it important to add a review here because I was astounded at how this artfully dumb and endlessly repetitive series continues to justify incredibly long screen times. Donnie Yen talks a bit. Ian McShane phones in his McShaneiest version of McShane. Is that Clancy Brown? He seems to be doing something. Oh, a fight scene! But 3 hours of this?

My question for the John Wick universe is why? Video games already exist, and you get to control the character. Isn't that more fun than three hours of bladder-control tedium?

Hey look, Donnie Yen's not dead yet! What hour is this?",2
"The film is at its best not when it is superhero-ing, but when it is sitting for awkward family dinners, when it is manoeuvring its way around high school bullies, and most gratifyingly, when it is wasting time believing it can fly.

In a key early scene, a clueless Billy's foster brother, played by It's Jack Dylan Grazer, educates him on the nuances of superpowers. Given a choice, he says, everyone picks flight. No one chooses invisibility, because it stinks of villainy. He wants to break these myths. And as it turns out, so does Shazam!.

You don't need aerial punch-ups and dense word-building - even though Shazam! has both. You don't need plans of global domination - cooked up both by villains and studio executives. Sometimes less is more. You don't need The Rock and Henry Cavill when you get a committed Zachary Levi and a scene-stealing troupe of kids.

"I think this movie is better than the first because you get to see the ""human"" side of Peter Parker. Special effects are great, and I highly recommend this movie. If you haven't seen it, go for it, if you have SEE IT AGAIN!!!

Toby makes a great Spiderman because he has that ""everyday"" person quality, handsome yet alittle nerdy!!! If ever there was to be a Spiderman in real life you know he would have to be just like Toby.

I love this movie and recommend it to anyone!!!! It is good for everyone. It provides action for the guys and the drama for the women. Perfect balance so a couple can go see the movie together and they can both like it.",10

"8/10 is for Season 1 only. It was based on a book (written mostly by genius sir Pratchett) and it was good adaptation. Story wise Season 2 fails to offer anything much other than another LGBTQ+-/IDDQD-press-Space-to-jump narratives, that are as always feel as natural as airplane made out of cheese. I guess Neil Gaiman has some unclosed gestalt and without Pratchett's brilliance there is no one left to balance things out. Fellows. Non-romantic love exists. True friendship exists. Comradery exists. Oh, well. What is still good about Season 2? Most acting (David Tennant and Michael Sheen are two titans of thespian craft), some directing, certain dialogues and scenes. But as a whole it cannot be compared with Season 1. That story - story about two friends, End of Days and New Beginning - was complete and done both in the book and in the 1st season. Everything else is a fanfic. Even if is written by Gaiman.",4
"One of the rare occasions when a potentially great film becomes BAD courtesy of its running time.

I have truly never experienced so much fluff in a movie before. And what's worse it was totally unnecessary because the material was there and it was more than enough.

I can't even begin to praise the merits of The Wolf of Wall Street (it did have a few) because the redundant scenes and dialogue are too much to get over. It's sort of like trying to enjoy a fine steak while tofu is being forcibly stuffed down your throat. It's all ruined.

All and all what a pity. It could have been the best movie of the year if only.....",5
"Just finished episode 8 and I can't believe I've stuck with this. I genuinely thought the episodes would get better but they've just gotten worse. I can't see the point in this series and it worries me for any future Marvel films.

Most of the episodes could be answered with ""who cares""!....I don't care if Thor was an only child or T'challa became Star Lord. Just not interesting.

Oh and once again hardly any Hulk. God Marvel hate Hulk don't they!

Disney buying Marvel was the worst thing to happen.",1

"Twelve years ago on December 18th, 2009 James Cameron took the cinema world by storm with his cinematic masterpiece Avatar. Truly a theater going experience of a life time I saw that film over three times in IMAX 3D but finally after twelve long years Cameron releases Avatar: The Way of Water. Does it surpass its predecessor or blow it out of the water? (yes pun intended) to this question I say disappointingly no.

I will get the obvious out of the way first, Avatar: The Way of Water much like the first film is a cinematic marvel! This film is beautiful and absolutely gorgeous. While returning to the traditional forests and mountains of Pandora was great the true beauty lies in its underwater world. The underwater sequences were absolutely stunning. I can only imagine how this film looked in IMAX 3D I'm sure it's incredible in any premium format.

Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana return as Jake and Neytiri though they both take a backseat in favor of they're children. As for the children they were not strong enough to carry this film. Constantly getting themselves into trouble over, and over, and over again as well as never listening. Now granted this can be excused as they are kids who don't really know better and haven't had to face the threats Jake and Neytiri have. So I am slightly willing to give a pass here as long as Cameron realizes in the future these characters must be matured, I will only accept ""kids will be kids"" for so long and after what these kids went through I expect them to be matured in a third film.

The return of Stephen Lang and Sigourney Weaver was wonderful they both gave great performances and I loved having the Colonel back he was a great villain in the first film and is a great villain again here. Sigourney Weaver plays Jake Sully's adopted daughter Kiri and I have to say she did so fantastically, how a 73 year old woman convinced me that she was a child is beyond me but she did it.

Now to talk about the negatives. The story is just a recycled narrative of the first film and Cameron for some reason is content at just rehashing the same story beats throughout the entire second act. You did all this in the entirety of the first film so why are we doing this all over again. The third act is less a booming climatic battle but more of personal conflict and vendetta between Jake and the Colonel. Which wasn't bad because the story being told was more of a intimate story of family and the Colonels quest for revenge. But then what was the point of the sea people taking part in this ""battle"" they disappeared so fast. There's a clear indication of a grander conflict here but it's just not touched upon in favor of this personal conflict which would've been okay if it was resolved but it wasn't.

Which was another draw back, the scope of a grander story is here but is just abandoned almost immediately. Perhaps this grander story will be picked up in the additional sequels Cameron has planned but unfortunately its just not used here. The first act in my opinion was the best this film had to offer, Cameron wasted no time in getting straight to business which I was incredibly grateful for. After about ten minutes of reintroducing Jake and Neytiri and introducing their kids we are immediately treated to the humans return and the ensuing conflict. Unfortunately due to the fast paced nature of the first act the explanation for their return is rather glossed over, like if you blick you miss it.

Speaking of weak explanations, while I definitely enjoyed the return of Stephen Lang and Sigourney Weaver the explanation as to how was just soo... why? To me. I'd go into further detail but that is spoiler territory and I don't want to give anything more away as I feel I already have. Now the run time, I personally felt every minute of the 3 hours and 12 minutes admittedly that last 12 minutes is credits but still 3 hours is a longtime for what was the most part to me a rehash of things we already saw. I must say though the first hour of this film flew by as I was thoroughly entertained by the action but things slowed down immensely afterward when going into the second act.

Lastly and this is more of a personal problem, James Cameron just has to bring something political and preachy here. More of his humanity is evil and the natives are good crap. The forced empathy for the sea people after seeing the aftermath of the whaling sequence was just annoying. It all came off as a poor ""save the whales"" message which was made pretty clear during said sequence. Anyway I just did not care as I rolled my eyes extensively to this weak forced sympathy attempt.

Well this review really got away from me so I'll start wrapping things up. I was thoroughly hoping that this second viewing was going to help maintain my score but it just lowered it because of the story repeats of the first film, a rather lackluster final act, a overbloated run time, and of course Cameron's typical political, preachy nonsense I have to say it was just average to slightly below average.

Second viewing thoughts: I want to take this chance outside my review to mention the 3D and HFR (High Frame Rate) experience. The 3D format is second to none, it elevated all the spectacular visuals to booming heights. Also the 3D technology added a layer of immersion to the underwater sequences I have never experienced in a cinema. Now throw in higher frame rates with this 3D and it is just stunning! The high frame rate made everything look soo smoth, it was gorgeous and because of the immense cgi usage in this film the high frame rate made the 48fps (Frames Per Second) sequences look like a video game and I loved every minute of it. I yearn for the day video games can look as good as this film does. Unfortunately the transitions between the standard 24fps and 48fps was at times unnatural and made for a bit of a turn off.

This second viewing also just highlighted this films shortcomings particularly in the story department, while a first viewing things were more tolerable this second viewing just made everything I was slightly annoyed by to being extremely annoyed by. The children are just stupid and not at all that interesting and because of the recycled story it made the 3 hours unbearably long.

At the end of the day I firmly believe this film is only getting high scores because of fantastic visuals and James Cameron. A terribly boring story, and a run time that is completely unnecessary makes this beautiful mess of a film extremely average, but because it's been a long time since Avatar it recieves eights, nines, and tens. Well James Cameron isn't getting a pass from me.

By the end of the film I was just extremely disappointed even more so than my first viewing. While the 3D technology and HFR affect carry things to amazing heights, you can't just rely on amazing technology to make a good film. Now because my score for this second viewing was so dependent on the 3D, HFR format I'm going to have to for the first time in my reviews give two different scores.

2D non HFR: IMDb: 4/10 Letterboxd: 2/5

3D w/ HFR: IMDb: 5/10 Letterboxd: 3/5

The make up of the villain just awesome..... The villain was so hard and creepy what's makes the movie best,9
"Got into the universe by video game version but Henry Cavill has done a good job with adapting the Geralt's personality. The remaining cast I can't tell much. As gamers we were used to the women's out-of-the-world beauty in the video game franchise, so female cast could have been prettier.",7
"I did enjoy season 1, as it faced some difficult topics related to stressors kids face in school. But season 2 was a drop-off, and Season 3 just a complete waste of time. It just seemed like the drama was manufactured on an inordinate scale, and the whole thing felt completely unrealistic. They drummed up tensions and issues and drama on such a fakey level. And there's nothing wrong with gay relationships in TV productions, but the sheer volume presented in this show (especially Season 3) seemed a bit manufactured and unrealistic. The show just didn't come across in a credible way.",5
"This movie and very boring and predictable with the most annoying character getting more screen time then she deserved.

I usually try not to go to the bathroom during movies. I went twice and didn't feel like I missed anything. Very predictable ""horror"" movie. No real big scares, mostly played out jump scares that don't work anymore.

I found myself hoping the annoying character would die throughout the film.

This movie is not worth it and that is sad cause I loved the franchise up until the Nun",2
"The series was mostly good and Henry Cavill was almost perfect. However, some choices of characters such as Triss or Fringilla were extremely poor and the Nilfgaard armour was just unnecessarily weird and innacurate",6
"Excellent visual effects, creative and artistic in 3D. Too many characters in this film with too many subplots. Many of the main superheroes have been stars in their own superhero films. Not much time spent with each one, but there were some entertaining, but brief, performances. Most of the film involved aliens and superheroes being either blown up or shot. Although I felt transported into outer space with the amazing visuals, the story seemed to never end and was predictable up until the ending. I think I saw 1,000 aliens get massacred in total. The ending stunk, a real let down.",4

"A good film, slightly under marked on here. It is always exciting and keeps you engaged where it will go next.

The main issue is times given to the parts of the story. In a way the film ends at the most interesting part and given the true events could easily have gone on another hour.

It either needed an extra half an hour, it better an additional hour, with a slightly reduced ount of time on the prison, where it dragged a little.

But for what it did give, it was good and recommended.",7
"The show has excellent aspects and is well acted. Kevin bacon was great and Mark O'Brien's best work!

Then Season 2 enters the chat and completely destroys a promising Boston crime story

Shame shame shame.",7
"This is a show I was eager to see. There are aspects that, personally, disappoint - the pacing (Woody Allen used to do these things so much better, with an under-appreciated energy and precision), the peculiar interactions between the 'odd trio' (yes, I know Gomez's character is supposed to be somewhat disconnected from the older pair, but her behaviour in the early episodes is just a bit too odd and illogical to work for me), the already-cliched 'talking to a dead guy' conceit (after The Flight Attendant, and others, this needs a long, long, rest) and (I know, I know, these things are subjective, but...) Gomez's weird, ultra-constipated, nasal mumble - but the charm of Martin and Short makes up for any misgivings and keeps one watching. Like so many shows these days, this feels like a 90 minute movie stretched out to fill up a non-negotiable run of episodes, but it's entertaining even during its detours and digressions. Not a great series by any means, but a welcome one.",7
Long movie but excellent! Al Pacino and Robert De Niro were great in this movie!,10
"Overall, this is a pretty solid show. The first season set up the world very nicely, and the second season expanded and greatly improved upon it. The story is structured nicely, and even just a few episodes into the first season I found myself caring about these characters and their issues. The story was articulated well and was very detailed, and clearly has the capacity to not only answer questions, but not only bring up more. I also particularly enjoyed the attention to detail like putting up political signs of the era and having popular 80s songs prominently portrayed in the soundtrack. The cinematography is pretty solid with some really impressive shots and action sequences. The CGI is also really solid, with all of the creatures having a very real presence in the scene and nothing seeming out of place or fake-looking, Netflix clearly put a lot of time, money and resources into the production of this show. Both seasons 1 and 2 have some fantastic acting, including many child actors, almost all the characters were portrayed very well and some standout stars including Winona Ryder, Millie Bobby Brown, Noah Schnapp, and Finn Wolfhard. And while I could praise this show for many paragraphs on all the things it did right it is still not a perfect show in my mind. For one, the soundtrack is a little cheesy at times, making sure to let us know when a jump-scare is coming (something I was hoping this show would rise above seeing how it defies almost every other horror drama trope). And the jump scares themselves are another thing that I feel I don't even need to touch on, just that if you watch the show, you will probably notice them and be upset. Another issue is yet another horror trope of characters making stupid decisions seemingly for the plot's sake. And especially when those characters stupid decisions bring about a dramatic shift in the story, it's especially annoying. Also, it's kind of hard to portray the creatures as really dangerous and scary when it's obvious that none of the main characters are in any real dangers. Sure they kill off some of the side characters here and there, but they honestly waited a little long to do so. And the one character they did kill off in season 2 only died because he did the stupidest thing he could do in that situation. There are other little things, but I think you get the point that even though this show is not perfect, I still think it's pretty freaking amazing. I'm excited for season 3, and I'm excited for more Netflix original programming. And that's why I'm giving this series so far a 9/10.",9
"Alright, clearly, there is political messaging in season 3. What's interesting is that I think it's brilliant. I can't figure out whether the show is making fun of the right...or if it's making fun of those who make fun of those on the right. Well, I think it's the former, but stupendously disguised!

For instance, no one likes Hylander-whatshisface, but he became popular among a specific demographic during that one speach...that demographic I can only assume is lifted onto the screen because these men latch onto the likes of J. Petersons ""be a monster"" (but one under control). So they poke fun at that demographic for being so ""gullible""...while at the same time...admitting what's truly happening, right? Men ARE tired of apologizing for being men?

Ha, sounds...about right, yeah?

So we're supposed to think ""what stupid men for following Homelander""...but really we should think ""nah, stand up and be strong and lead, but not like that dick."" It's always a crossover.

Meekness is power under control.",8
"Entering the cinema with no knowledge of the Zodiac killer left this whole thing as a very hollow experience. Two hours and forty minutes of what, for all intents and purposes, was little more than an unnarrated documentary, rather than a film. And balance was difficult for Fincher to achieve: eventually, the time devoted to the facts of the Zodiac case, and all that tedious police red tape and discussions about fingerprints and handwriting which may or may not have existed meant that the characters suffered. I got a reasonable picture of the Paul Avery and Dave Toschi characters, but none of the others - and to me, they weren't really characters interesting enough to transfer into a film anyway. Finally, while I am well aware that the case remained unsolved and so forth, for Fincher to deliver this and sundry information via six or seven faceless captions at the end of the film, after over two and a half hours of film, was a terrible cop-out. I was dissatisfied with the quality of this piece, and must learn to be more careful when considering films based upon real events.",4
"I don't understand how this programme is so popular and high rated. Same story 4 seasons in a row. Kiddy, annoying and cartoonish characters and acting. 20+ year olds playing high schoolers. Relies on 90s nostalgia.

Just feels like a cheap Goonies teen program that happens to have monsters.",4
"This film is filled with cheap cinematic and comedic tricks dying for attention and relevance. In the end, the moments are stale and require as sense of ""I guess I should laugh or chuckle a little, poor things.""

The film preys solely upon the desperate desire permeating American culture for something, anything, please. (Nope still don't have anything original or high-quality in this Era of film-making).

Most sequences of the film are a collection of ""unbelievable!"" instagram-like moments strung together with a lazy unity that affirms one thing: confusion.

This film grossly underestimates the IQ of its audience or lacks the subtly and nuance to pursue the complex arguments regarding its central socio-political themes. It says only so much, afraid at every step to be cancelled but also trying to stand firm in some desperation for truth, to help stand up to that mean Mattel! The same Mattel that Warner Bros (who produced the Barbie film) is partnered with.

Margot Robbie tries to give it her all (she can open one eye tear stream with the best of them) but her performance lacks the quiet composure of all struggling with identity issues. It is surely a barbie-rific film! Although even the fake smiles of the actors seem fake, almost as if they are saying, ""I can't believe I am doing this."" They almost solemnly predict the end of the film before a single ounce of real joy can be seen/had. The entire film is depressing, even where it is supposed to be joyful.

There is no great sense of play. It appears everyone is outstandingly self-conscious and hyper aware. Weirdly hyper aware. These aren't artists (with perhaps the exception of Gosling). These are everyday men and women pretending to be actors and absurdly conscious of it. One can only get along with color palettes, explosions, and circus jokes / ""provocative"" one liners for so long. The real attempt at story was shaky at best. Amazingly studios allow Gerwig to direct a high school film project with a 150 million dollar budget and a volunteer casting call of beginning drama students and a few pretty people who always wanted to be in a movie.

The long wait gets longer. When will art take a step forward? We have an American culture of business people (all greedy for more money, money, money)-very well, we lack artists!",2
The first movie had Po fighting against his masters rival while this movie has him fighting someone that directly impacted him. This was a great way to set have Po grow as a character. On top of all of this it still a very fun watch and just as funny as the first movie.,7
I truly dislike any scene that have us watching Lauren Banks trying to act. She's utterly classless and talentless and her acting is on par with a school stage performance in Michigan in 1992. Had it not been for her sorry performance I would have added another two stars to this reiview.,6
"It's a very well done film and a great rendition of Spiderman. The problem from the beginning is to give a greater dramatic intention to the matter by expanding the catalog of traumas and conflicts of the characters. Suddenly Peter Parker's dilemmas stop attracting and one somehow looks for the action sequences to take us away from what they want to pose as the most attractive. Somehow that doesn't happen and the film falters exactly where the producers and director thought it would be best. With everything that happened later with the character, this film, which is a descent from the previous one, fought much better.",5
"Some kid is killed. The policy quickly finds enough evidence to arrest some guy. Problem is the guy has enough hard evidence that puts him somewhere else entirely during the murder. How to solve this? Well, the suspects ends up getting killed so that takes care of that. Now the show takes a turn to the supernatural, as we learn that something happened to him before the murder and in fact there have been similar murders elsewhere, where the main suspect has a solid alibi. We learn this because the main cop bring in some annoying psychic to help. She theorizes that this chain of murders of kids are committed by some creature that is able to take the human form of those it scratches. The question that is who is the current creature's embodiment and when will it strike. We learn early on what the creature is up to but it takes forever for the rest of the characters to get there. Eventually they confront the creature and its sidekick in a surprising shootout.

The Outsider starts out pretty good and interesting. Like most shows these day, the episodes are unnecessarily slow and long. I have to say I was very suprised that this was a show for adults featuring adults. No anorexic teenagers flying around and beating big guys to a pulp. And the first two episodes with Jason Bateman were strong. Unfortunately once he's gone, there's no one to connect to. The rest of the main cast is frankly mediocre, hideous, and lousy. How on earth did any of those people ever get hired I can't fathom. Similarly, cinematography is poor, dark, discolored. Why producers insist on making shows unpleasant to see makes no sense to me. I didn't expect the supernatural turn the show took, which was occasionally creepy, but more could have been done with the creature and more of a horror angle could have been included. Overall, this show is worth seeing but not by much.",6
"I'm actually a fan of Luis Guzmán in general but this is some of the worst miscasting in history! Gomez is supposed to be suave and this just simply doesn't work with Luis playing him. They cast Morticia just as she should be. Unfortunately for me anything to do with The Addams Family will ""ALWAYS"" be compared to the absolutely perfect movies from the nineties. I have other issues with this show but this miscasting atrocity simply can't be forgiven. My other big issue is an issue I tend to have with almost anything new these days. Too much effort is put into catering to the ""woke"" culture. It has become absolutely exhausting!",5
"The first season was great but it slowly became less interesting. I'm hovering mid third season, I'll finish it eventually. It sure was good in the beginning it lost its story. I like the characters but can't completely put me finger on what went wrong for me",6
This movie is a superb mcu movie! The action is great and the characters are entertaining and the visuals are spectacular! A must see!,8
"Yes, people do bad things in life, what's new. Why don't people talk more about why psychopaths along with other destructive mental illnesses are allowed in Corporate business and politics? Why isn't a mental assessment given before allowed into important positions? Psychopaths can do incredible damage to stock holders and taxpayers, affecting thousands of people. It amazes me how psychopaths are allowed free reign in society.",6
"Without giving any spoilers the show basically bit more than it could chew. There are some good characters but the shield gets a lot more significance than any of them and it seems that they are only there so that we can see Sam as the better one. It is a good arc for Sam but simply unjust for the others. The problem lies with the writing. The motivations are not clear, the characters are good and bad by the end of the episode just because the plot demands them. (especially episode 2 was a mess).

I tried to give a chance to the show even though the first episodes were very messy, there were a lot of good storylines but in the end most of them didn't deliver.

Most of the dialogues were questionable but the peak was the therapy session. After all the series feel forced both on characters and the issues they tried to handle.",5
"Captain America the winter soldier is a great example of how to make a super-heroes film serious, but also fun. It isn't just my favorite marvel film, but also my second favorite super- heroes film after the ""The Dark Knight"" and it is surprising because captain America was always my least favorite avenger. The movie is clearly the darkest movie in the marvel cinematic universe, and is a must watch for anyone who is planning to watch ""The Avengers Age Of Ultron (avengers 2). This is also the best performance of the black widow, nick fury and Maria hill, and of course a big plus for the captain itself that get more personality and become more bad-ass. The only problem I had with film is the title ""winter soldier"" that doesn't appear in the film as much as you would think.",9
Somehow the storyline moved to fast and didn't give a real chance to simpathize with the caracters. The acting seemed disconnected and wierd. The idea of the movie was great! Whole gaming thing is a good idea. Not well executed.,5
"The Dropout is the second Hulu production I've watched (the first having been Dopesick), and I am quite impressed with their production values. Both of these series are much better than what is now being pumped out by the big N, so I hope that they don't let their newfound success lead them down the path to mediocrity now being trodden by formerly excellent analogous production companies.

I had just watched the HBO production about Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes, which served as my only source of knowledge of this story. Based on Alex Gibney's excellent documentary, I was needless to say intrigued by the tale of yet another young person who tried to cut corners to fast track the route to becoming a billionaire (see FTX for the latest variation on that theme...).

Amanda Seyfried does a great job of conveying the rather creepy demeanor of Holmes, and the story is well-paced so as to make it comprehensible how such a thing could ever have transpired. Quite the meditation on Socrates' sage adage: ""No one knowingly does evil."" Certainly Elizabeth seemed to want to do something good, but her downfall was due to a serious excess of hubris. No business background, no science background. All she had was an idea about as realistic as: ""What if pigs could fly?""

Amazingly, despite her immaturity and childishness, Holmes managed to seduce many very wealthy men to keep her fantasy alive. I suppose that her parents were the worst enablers, having agreed to give her the tuition they would have paid, had she not dropped out of Stanford, to start her company. Without that initial infusion of cash, Elizabeth would have had to stay in school and finish her degree, by which time she would have known enough about chemistry to recognize that her idea was but a dream.",8
"The story, sci-fi, and scripts were just terrible to be honest. The usage of colors and emphasis of a ""great motion picture"" was executed superbly. I think this film was definitely overrated and the use of Chinese actors kind of made it a bit worse (but it opened a door for Chinese viewers which created more of an audience).

I felt as if the cast were American mixed with Chinese or Indian it would've been a lot more different and done more beautifully.

The comedic approach to the film was good and some were fresh. But some of the attempts were very cringe worthy and would've actually been funny if they were done by actual comedic actors or someone who weren't Asian...",4
"Waste of time, worst movie I have ever seen. Terrible plot, lots of filler, terrible Characters, piss poor acting.",1
"This show has definitely filled the void left by Game of Thrones. This may not be same for all. But if you understand and enjoy how these worlds (GoT, LOTR) this is the show. You might want to gather some information and set some background of The Witcher world just so that you don't miss out on whats happening. As some times a whole mini story is told in a scene with a simple dialogue. You actually dont have to read all the books. There are heaps of online articles you can read with (no spoilers) to bring u up to speed.",9
"Apart from an obvious vehicle for Brown, I was unable to find any point to this tedious, poorly paced and poorly scripted film. The feminist message is as subtle as the clichés of Victorian England, strong-willed women and fourth-wall breaks that are regurgitated at the audience at every possible opportunity, to the point of tedium. Liberal reinterpretations and adaptations of Conan Doyle's beloved character can be and have been artfully and cleverly done, but the supposed sister of the legendary Sherlock and Mycroft in this version is simply a pretty martial arts dilettante who dabbles a little in word puzzles and relies on the gauche, predictable and transparent plot, rather than intellectual prowess or observation, to solve mysteries no more challenging than those tackled by the Famous Five. Her opponents are cut-out caricatures rather than anything against which she can really test her mettle. From a movie with a feminist message in 2020 I expect more than Mary Poppins with an uppercut and a couple of famous relatives. Nobody seemed to be comfortable with the script that lurched through a stilted pastiche of pseudo-Victorian English or in the sumptuous but unconvincing design. Superficially charming family viewing, but do not expect subtlety, humour, accuracy or intellectual stimulation.",2
"Gravity starts with some great visual experiences, especially in 3D, and the first half of the film maintains interest and excitement in what is basically a very simple story involving the two main characters. The second half of this tale is neither believable, interesting nor realistic in any shape or form. Veteran astronaut, George Clooney appears far too cool during a major catastrophe in his attempt to save the damsel in distress, a medical engineer but inexperienced astronaut played by Sandra Bullock. Early on, local critical reviews rated very highly, some referring to a modern day classic of 2001: A Space Odyssey status. I don't think so. An enjoyable film at 90 minutes in length, but very average in its entire context. Somewhat of a disappointment after all the early hype and expectations.",7
"Seems like this was a total money grab. Didnt have enough time to tell the story correctly with details the just hella fast-forward it the girl was 14 then 18 in one ep to the next.

Do not waste your time. Marvel is trash. They suck at making movies. This one was HORRIBLE. Enough of the fake sound effects and bs!!!!! Trash!! -100/10 rating. Worst movie on the planet. How is this not a 0/10??? DEFUND AND BOYCOTT MARVEL UNTIL THEY GET IT TOGETHER WHICH MAY BE NEVER. Marvel is LAME!!!!!!,1
It is absolutely anurag Basu thing. No character in the movie is loose every single character has as its soul intact. The timing of pankaj tripathi. The amazing act of rajkumar Rao The charming Aditya Roy Kapoor. Actresses were great. And the Abhishek bachchan at his very best less talk more towards acting. This is a well made movie we must watch watch you will not regret watching.,9
"Glass onion is the sequel to one of the best detective mystery movies of recent times. And it certainly misses the predecessor's quality by some distance.

A billionaire steals ideas to build an empire. And now his life is in danger as he has invited his mistrustful friends to a remote island. The setup of the movie is decent; the mystery is not really baffling, and, well, there is detective Blanc being detective Blanc. Most of the characters are just loud caricatures and never seem well developed. But this is the first half.

The second one is the real letdown. The plot moves in the direction of social commentary. And there is a lot of commentary on contemporary topics, but the mystery gets dissolved in the verbose chaos. But if you were astute, you may have realised there was never any mystery at all. The climax is another typical good-versus-bad fight without any deductive knockout punches.",5
Liking the first movie so much gave me high hopes for this one. Sadly the story is shallow there is no real villain and the humor was weak. Would it be a good kids movie? YES! But not a good superhero movie if compared to others.,2
"Recording an analog manifesto and disseminating it to the people who you feel are personally responsible for your suicide is a vindictive and manipulative thing to do, to say the least - but Hannah Baker is allowed to be those things and so much more thanks to the complex characterization that episodic storytelling affords.

"Christian Bale returns as billionaire Bruce Wayne, now a limping recluse with bad cartilage in one knee who has unceremoniously retired his alter-ego, the vigilante Batman, after the Caped Crusader's reputation was unduly tarnished in the advent of Harvey Dent's death. However, with his fingerprints stolen, his millions wiped out, and the board of trustees of his estate taken hostage by a raging psychopath who talks through a voice-box like Darth Vadar, it may be time for Batman to reemerge. Assaultive installment in the ""Batman"" movie franchise is so ugly, so irredeemably brutal and mean-spirited, that even a first-rate cast and the incredible special effects fail to make much of a difference. Director Christopher Nolan leaves his audience beaten and bowed--much like Bruce Wayne!--while plot-threads are shuffled about, wounds (such as a stabbing near the finish) are miraculously healed, and characters enter and exit and reenter following scenes at a lightning pace. The whole explosive thing is hyped up on angry adrenaline, becoming a series of staccato clips which aren't so much disturbing in their content as they are unnerving in their execution. **1/2 from ****",6
"As others have wrote, I am not sure anyone cares about Jake Sully and his family as much as James Cameron thinks they do. I have never really understood the fascination with Avatar, so I had no expectations going in to seeing this. The visuals many people are impressed by felt like watching 3 hour intro to a computer game, while the story and dialogue makes for a paper-thin and painfully boring story that is predictable, shallow and clearly lacks character development.

As one of the biggest grossing films ever, the franchise seems all about making an ""easy"" buck, but it's all been done before and lets hope the general public start investing in real stories with real emotion soon.",2
Sure some talented young actors and a feel of real life. I have only seen 4 of the episode and im about to drop off. And my reason is quite simple.... why would a girl that clearly has been able to analyze so many of the situations... and able to see what others have done to her.. that in many ways seems a little above the rest.... why would she kill herself? that makes absolutely no sense... Suicide is almost exclusively done by people that has completely lost their way... that doesn see any sense in anything anymore... Clearly the girl here is not in that category..,2
"Such frustration! Fargo being probably one of my favorite movies of all time, I just had to comment on a few misconceptions, misguided comments, etc.

1. This is NOT a true story. That text at the beginning of the film was a joke, part of the brilliant, subtle comedy of this film. So, no these people do not really exist. I mean REALLY! If this hilarious bungled crime actually happened, don't you think we would have heard about it?

2. Slow? This movie is not slow at all. It just isn't quick-cut, tons-of-action-a-minute like the vapid films that make $100 million at the box office in one week. And, at any rate, ever BEEN to Minnesota? Life is slow out there. Perhaps the pacing of the film was mimicking the way of life in the midwest?

3. The whole Mike Yanagita thing. Why couldn't the purpose of this whole side-story just simply be to add texture to the film, another layer to Marge's character? Unlike some people who took SUCH issue with it, I didn't mind it at all, and laughed my head off at the sight of an Asian man speaking with a hilarious MN accent. People might think that's ""Non-PC"" who cares. It's called COMEDY.

4. Oh, the accents. I dont want to hear it. I work with people from Minnesota, and YES they do talk like that.

5. Frances, the Acting Goddess, giving a FLAT performance? It's called S-U-B-T-L-E-T-Y. Please look it up. I know Hollywood doesnt much like subtlety, but once in a while it sneaks in there and the film is better for it.

6. Cant this be BOTH dramatic/tragic and comic at the same time? There is no rule that says a film has to fit neatly into one genre! This film IS tragic, it IS dramatic, and it IS very funny. So whats the problem?

Oh, yes... And I am one of the many who feel that The English Patient was an overblown, overrated, big, boring epic that did not deserve the Oscar over this little gem of a film that's destined to be a classic.",10
"Really, I tough that this is a good show but it turn out to be worst.

The villain Dr Smith, is worst than Joffrey Baratheon from Games of thrones...",1
"I mean, both leads were excellent, acting in general was good, but what is that story?

All the way from the tortured, too long and rather idiotic dialogue at the beginning, to the unwatchable last episode... I hated this.

When I think I loved the first season so much, I'm even more angry. I gave a 10 to the first season, but hardly 4 to the second.

This was such a good critique of Christianity at first, and the story of Job was rather nice, but then those love stories for the feeble-minded, out of character behaviour of the main characters, more than diotic main plot...

If you have nothing to say, shut up.",6
"I have just watched this film 10 times and all the time I think about the film decetingly, what is the amazing cinematography, what is the acting done by every actor and actress and the writer and director of this film has a different vision to stand in front of the people.",10
"I will preface my review by stating the positive aspects of this show: - decent plot - Mads Mikkelsen

Oh, were you expecting more? Sadly, the above-average story-line and Mikkelsen's acting are really just about the only redeeming qualities of this show. So why is Hannibal so widely revered as an example of pure television gold? Simple; the show runs under the false pretense of being deep and substantial. How could it not, when the namesake of the series is a charismatic and brilliant character that has been immortalized in cinematic history due to the sheer depth of his character? Yet, upon closer inspection of this show, you will sadly find that it just doesn't make up for the tropes, clichés, and many flaws that exist in Hannibal (the show, not the character). Let's start with the script... it's not good. There are two, and only two, distinct ""types"" of lines in this show: horribly cheesy '80s-action-film- esque lines that will make you groan, and pretentious dialogues of lightning-fast banter that aim to impress you, but are merely cover- ups for the fact that the characters lack any sort of personality. I get that these are the bright, learned minds of seasoned FBI agents, but it truly breaks the immersion when you're very much made aware that you're watching a TV show through the dialogue alone. When you aren't forced to endure the disgustingly cliché close-up-camera-shot-followed-by-dramatic-one- liner, you find yourself wondering why the characters feel the need to dress up their conversations by incessantly speaking in riddles and metaphors in an embarrassingly desperate attempt to flaunt their ""higher knowledge."" The same criticism can be applied to the acting in this show as well. Unfortunately, the acting in Hannibal (Mikkelsen excluded) might be the only thing worse than the script. Why? The actors/actresses in Hannibal make the same mistake that beginner high school theater students make: they mistake intensity for good acting. No, yelling all your lines, constantly donning the same cold, unwavering facial expression, and behaving like an angry bad-ass in every scene does not make you a good (or even mediocre) actor. Mikkelsen shines in comparison because he possesses the one quality as an actor that literally every other cast member in this show seems to lack: subtlety. Daniel Day-Lewis, Marlon Brando, Tom Hanks, etc. (a list of stellar actors, just to clarify) did not rise to stardom by ranting and raving through all their lines and shouting louder than the other guy. They did so with tact; they behaved on-screen like human beings ACTUALLY behave in real life. Simply put, their acting made you forget you were watching a movie/TV show. I'm not sure whether Mikkelsen is benefiting from this by being on the better end of a polarizing comparison, or if his career is being harmed by this show wasting his talent on an ensemble of B-list actors at best. However, despite my harsh criticisms, I will say this: this show's plot is VERY interesting. The fascinating concept of the show, coupled with appropriately-placed cliffhangers, proves to result in a flawed mess of a half-decent crime drama. Sadly, with all the glaring problems this show contains, it leaves little to enjoy on episodes where the plot may fall short.",3
"After researching it for the third time, it's still great!",10
"A lovely romantic story that we wish it never ends. The movie is funny, joyful, sad... We have time to go deep into the personalities of the 2 main characters. A must-see!",9
"By far the best part of the series are the two title characters, Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie are great, especially when they're both on screen in the same scene, I really liked the chemistry between them. However, everything else is either mediocre or bad. The bad guys were totally uninteresting and boring to me. Added many characters that had previously appeared in MCU movies, I don't think that was necessary. Some things in the story were rushed, and some were simply restarted. The series seems totally unnecessary to me, it brings nothing new, and the motives they explored were simply returned to where they were in time before the series. It looks like a worse sequel to Captain America: The Winter Soldier which to me personally is one of the best in MCU. This whole mini series reminds me of the side mission of a game. It is not necessary to play because it does not affect the main story, but those who are a completionist, simply have to finish it.",6
"The other being Top Gun Maverick.

This movie is a worthy follow up to Knives Out. I watched it at the London Film Festival and we were asked not to give any spoilers so I won't. Sufficient to say that it's like Knives Out and a murder mystery game becomes a real murder mystery and Benoit Blanc solves it in his inimitable way. The actors clearly having fun. Apart from Daniel Craig I particularly liked Dave Bautista, Edward Norton and Janelle Monae. The others were good too but those stuck out to me. It's one of the few movies that are really truly laugh out loud funny for everyone including me. Only one little niggle. A woman slaps a man early on. That is domestic violence and no movie should think that that is funny or OK. Anyway I will see it again when it comes out. I cannot recommend it too highly. That's Wednesday November 23rd, both cinemas and Netflix.",10
"I'm getting a little tired of Netflix's recipe, give a little taste at the end of each episode then save the details till episode 10. This is why I loved watching Daredevil and The Punisher, it kept you entertained throught each episode of coursed saved the ending to release some information, but not enough to lose focus.",7
"The show's originality is what lead me to watch. Great acting, great characters, great story and simply a great show. My words might do not do justice just watch the show.",8
"The first season had a message, and it was perfectly, even painfully told. Of course it was not fun watching it, but it was an awesome show. Then came the second season where the only goal seems to be to make the watchers feel gulity for the whole world through continuous horrific (and unreal) events. Those things exist of course, but piling them up without a meaningful concept makes the perfect show a pointless one. Suggestion: stop watching the show when you finished the first season. First season 10/10, second 0/10",2
"Don't really understand how you can give something 1 star when the cinematography and SFX are as good as they are here. Seems like plenty of people watched episode 1, decided it wasn't for them and duly awarded 1 star. Personally I've found the series improving with each installment so feel it may have been judged harshly.

I've not watched the original and know nothing about it so no comparisons made here. I really like the story and the pacing. The characters feel well rounded and believable. There are the usual foibles in some of the actual science, as you might expect from something set in the near future.

There are a couple of tropes that are trotted out, Don being the one that springs to mind as the 'space jock' mechanic, but he's likeable and brings levity, which I enjoyed.

Definitely worth a watch!",8
"Interminable film-school dialogue, strung together with some cgi, along with a bit of gratuitous violence as a pastiche.

How could the inheritors of such a commanding story drive it into the ground so thoroughly ?

Like so many other endeavours, a new crew takes over the reigns to only suck the cash out of the franchise and introduce a formula for easy income.

Yes, I see the pretty dragon's egg and the nice computer generated dragon, but where is the plot and the story and the action to go along with the eye candy ?

Yes, I see the room full of anonymous orgy-goers, but who is doing what to who ? And how does it fit any plot ?

What is being done to the deserving fans is that you are boring us to death as we rush to switch to another channel.",1
"This film is unremarkable, as for me, the plot is rather one-sided and not surprising.

Absolutely nothing catches, from the idea to the acting.

No wonder DiCaprio did not receive an Oscar for so long, because he was not ready for it with such acting data.

The film itself is boring and hackneyed.

I do not recommend viewing under any pretext.",3
Skip this one There's no story at all Only action sequences Thumb's down 👎👎👎,3
"There is entertainment and action in abundance in this colourful, glossy and, at times, highly enjoyable, film centred on the world of illusion, deception, and the magician. And, at times, we appear to be treated to explanations as to how tricks were done, but sadly, in doing so, many important pieces of the descriptions were simply ignored because they were inexplicable. It kind of takes the biscuit when you explain the easy and, perhaps, most dramatic parts of trickery but fail on the subtleties where the real tricks occur. But the context of the film is how trickery can be used to fool us all via the many diversions the film uses along the way.

Of course you have to suspend reality watching this film or it can get a little tiresome, which is probably why I found it enjoyable but only in parts. It is a good twenty minutes too long and kind of waffles it way through the final five minutes or so. The actors seem like they're having a good time and the sets are fabulous. But the whole seems to add up to something a little less than satisfactory.

"""Hannibal"" is a rare gem in the realm of broadcast TV drama. The last decade everyone has been looking to cable for quality, thought provoking TV dramas, HBO and AMC being the leaders of the pack producing a long line of excellent shows. However now it seems that broadcast has found footing and is starting to release shows able to take the fight to the cable channels. No doubt that ""Hannibal"" is among the greatest current dramas on broadcast and a prime example of how far broadcast has come.

The first 3 minutes of the pilot will blow anyone away, it is the best opening to a show since LOST's famous pilot episode, we are wasting no time and are quickly getting acquainted with the rather unnerving powers of Will Graham. But as his ""powers"" are turning from a tool he uses to solve crime into a manifestation that threatens to render him incapable of working with the FBI it becomes clear that he needs professional help. Hannibal is hired as Will's Psychiatrist to help him cope with the heinous crimes that he is trying to solve. The two form a unique partnership, Will the intelligent yet weirdly naive, unrefined and simple man versus Hannibal the equally intelligent but extremely well versed in etiquette, inter-human behavior and manipulation. If Hannibal thought Will would be an unfit opponent intellectually he has mistaken, Will is very much up to the task and that is what makes the show so great.

The show does not have the rating it deserve, but there are a plethora of reasons for this. The show is airing during the TV graveyard on Friday evenings. It has a little known main cast to Americans (except for Laurence Fishburne, who does a great job). It is based on a book/movie franchise (which rarely does well in TV adaptions, omit GoT). And the marketing by NBC has been, what should we say, less than adequate.

However the show has backing from European companies, so I hope that NBC can live with the reduced revenue from advertisers due to the ratings as they can to some extent rely on their overseas backing to keep down cost of the production.

Hopefully Hannibal will keep getting renewed so we get a chance to see Bryan Fuller's exciting plan for the show come into fruition. It is a stunning show, an excellent acting (Mads Mikkelsen is nothing less than brilliant as the title character), disturbing murder-of-the-week episodes, and the source material is so abundant that the show should have quality material for years.

Keep it cool NBC, you have a cult classic in your hands, don't waste the opportunity.",8
"Its for you , if you like Marvel Entertainment's movies such as X-Man, Avengers , Spider man. I saw that in Xtream Theatre and it was awesome.

Lots of action and pretty damn good sounds.

But I did not liked some part of story, It was really not to get. such as :

1. Falling from a high building Cpt. A.

2. The triangular ending machine war , I did not liked that.

3. And The brain room of that Dr. Arnim Zola , I could not understand an brain room ( let it be fictional ) of 1950's can start with a usb device of this present. May be I missed something.

However Natasha the Black Widow was as usual of her own. Cpt. was looking cute I should say.

Surprised to see the second eye of Nick Fury , though still could not understood If his password , retina data was erased how come it will happen that you have erased retina data of one eye, still I hope I missed something.

AWESOME, RECOMMENDED, ACTION, MIN-DRAMA, MIN-TWIST .",8
"Cutting it down to a 45min episode or to a 75mins movie would help it a lot.

We all know the plot: people surviving on apocalyptic world. Among the survivors you've got some good and more bad. You follow the good.

Not much happens so there is no way to justify 2 hours of it.",5
"Daredevil isn't something unbeliveble, I agree ... but is not a bad TV Series. After watching all 3 season, these are my ""notes"".

Started good .. I loved the fighting scenes, given the fact that the main character was blind. He acted strange even from beginning with the running and veering like a person who can see, that really made me like: ""whaaat, is he blind or they changed the script?""

Positive Thoughts
Actors are good.
Acting is good.
Fighting scenes are more than acceptable.


Negative Thoughts:
In real life if you stay near a glass window and throw a bead you wont even scratch the glass.

My score for this TV Series is ⭐ 6 / 10 ⭐",6
"'There is more satisfaction creating your own stature instead of walking with someone's shadow'

Forge yours, you need not to impersonate idol's style. Mimeographing it won't help your picture to be a perfect and distinguished one. Following someone is good, however adapting it thoroughly, can derail your journey.

Therefore create a different image for you and for the world, let the world be a fan of you. So, observe and learn, don't obsess it. Cause obsession never take you close, it seems close, yet it's far away.

Maneesh produced an opus again. He really hit the 'band' this time. After his Shuddh Desi Romance, he gifted us with a perfect semi- biographical thriller FAN.

Sharukh Khan was again at his best, and yes, through this film Maneesh depicted, first be the fan of yourself then of somebody else. Well back to Shahrukh Khan | SRK again, Raja Sahai (SRK's name in Deewana) has manifested why he's the KING of Bollywood.

In this movie, Khan impressively conveys the contrast between the two men — nerdy Gaurav is slight and twitchy, with a distracting overbite, while confident, brooding Aryan has the body language of a panther. Here, Gaurav, a young fan of a famed thespian--AK-- fell into his own obsession. And his addiction not only derailed him from the real world but even took him forever from it. Into the urge of his mimeographes, he omitted his own 'pehchaan'.

Khan is supported here by a cast of top-notch talent including Yogendra Tiku and Deepika Amin as Gaurav's father and mother, and Sayani Gupta (Margarita, With a Straw) as Aryan's cool-headed assistant and chief handler. In a clever bit of casting, Waluscha De Sousa, who plays Aryan's wife, bears a striking resemblance to Khan's real-life wife, Gauri Chibber Khan.Thanks to the facial modeling work of CounterPunch Studios (The Flash), Oscar-winning makeup artist Greg Cannom (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) and Khan's vibrant performance, Gaurav convincingly comes to life.

So, neither be Gaurav, nor be Aryan, just be YOU!",7
"I say it's a waste, a waste of talent! Having Christian bale and John Washington to be in such a ridiculously lousy movie is a waste of talent. I can not comprehend how a whole production could release such low attempt of genius for a movie. This missed the mark, it's like a target is standing east and you point you arrow to the waste. Such a waste of my time too, a typical hallmark movie has a better story line. The acting was lousy, as I a have been following Denzel jnr, he has something in him, but on this one I think it was a confusing character as well this movie should have been a comedy and not a forced mystery/drama genre.",2
"If you like a slow walk thru the forest and beach this film is for you. I stuck around just to see all the characters get killed off cause I didn't like any of them. I read my Twitter and Sports as I watched/listened w/headphones so my time wasn't a total loss. And what was with JJL muttering vocal fry all the way in the movie? I could not understand a word, and had to turn on cc. Pass on this one unless you get for .99",2
"Not sure what to make of it. I had really high hopes when reading all the positive reviews and maybe I was, therefore, expecting too much. It was a bit Kung-Fuey at the beginning (Grasshopper Bruce and the Master) , the special effects were good but overdone. The bat mobile scenes started to wear a bit thin for me and none of the actors impressed me although there were big names, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson. I have always thought that Batman should have superhuman powers so that the action scenes could be a bit more believable for me even although I realise that one must suspend belief when watching any movie based on a comic book. Since they were altering the storyline of Batman's beginning anyway, I would have been happier for Bruce to have been bitten by a radioactive bat and then maybe subjected to cosmic radiation or suchlike so that he could at least fly for real (oh my God ! why am I writing this ?) and have superhuman bat-strength or whatever. The movie didn't really click for me although I don't think it is a bad film. I was entertained but it dragged on bit for me (bad sign) so I have to give it a mediocre 5/10.",5
"Season 2. This is the sort of sci fi I love. It doesn't need the non stop whiz bang action, though it does have some of that. This is thoughtful character driven stories with a real heart. Sure, there are some holes and suspension of disbelief but what the hell. Humour, some really moving moments and a whole lot of fun.",9
I like this show I just finished the second season It was awesome we just attached to the characters Five is my favorite character,9
"I am thoroughly disappointed after seeing this installment of the movie. After reading every book multiple times and seeing them portrayed on the big screen I've been fairly happy with the way the directors/producers have instilled the quality of J.K's writing style.

However, after seeing the 'Deathly Hallows Part 1' I am very disappointed the way they left out such large amounts of information and action that was included in the books. The earlier movies did a good job holding their parts of the book series, but the Deathly Hallows seems to have been slashed into bits and pieces and has not meant my standards whatsoever when it comes to including the magic of the writing from the book itself.

There are many parts of the book that were missing in just this first half of the last installment of the movies; the second part I'm afraid is going to end up being just the same way.

There was plenty of good graphics and the sequencing was decent, but as I said there was just too much missing for me to enjoy the movie. Parts were ruined by rushing through details that would ultimately help explain the story line/plot much better - some parts were just skipped completely.

Now I understand that the books are very long and are hard to portray into a movie, and there is an acceptable amount of loss of quality from paper to the big screen, but that fine line was crossed (at least in my eyes) and completely ruined this movie for me.

I still would suggest watching the movie. For those of you who haven't read the books, you will enjoy the movie much more than I did, but even those who haven't read the books will notice there is something missing from the plot.

I will be waiting for part 2 to make a final decision on the last installment of the movie series, but as of right now I stand disappointed.

I rated the movie a 6 out of 10 since the story was still there (but lax) and the characters were played out decently (but had much room to grow). I would have given this movie a much higher rating if it were to have grabbed my attention more often rather than skim over such large parts of the book - even those small things, which make the books so good, were missing. Without the smaller segments included in the movie it just feels like something much different from the book, and for those of us who truly are looking for a great portrayal of the book on the big screen this just wasn't enough.",6
"Every decade, we have to have a film that depicts the last week of high school and all the shenanigans that can occur during it. In the 1970s, we had ""American Graffitti."" In the 1980s, we had ""Fast Times at Ridgemont High."" In the 1990s, we had ""Dazed and Confused"" and now in the 2000s, we have ""Superbad."" This is one of the funniest movies of the decade though I do not find it to be as funny as Apatow's other projects (40-year-old Virgin, Knocked Up and Forgetting Sarah Marshall). It is also a great breakthrough for Michael Cera, Jonah Hill and many other up and coming stars. I highly recommend this film to any fans of Judd Apatow.",8
"The disappoint runs fierce for those of us hoping for something more mature and substantive. I don't understand why a book directed at older, intelligent people is turned into a teenage puff piece. Don't go into this expecting the level of storytelling in Vikings, Game of Thrones, or even The Tudors.",2
"It's a totally new take on superhero movies, not what we are used to see. The first season, especially the first some episodes were quite good. It was gripping, fun to watch and story was really well written with great pace but as the series progressed, the pace slowed down a bit.

But still the show is brutal, fun, violent and performances were just convincing. VFX were amazing. The Boys made us believe that there exist a land where superheros are there fighting and taking charge.

Everyone gave their best performance. Characters are aptly cast and very convincing.",7
"There is no reason to care about any of these miserable characters.

1 point for good recreation of the era.- wardrobe, sets etc.. Kevin Bacon and Jill Hennessy are trying way too hard.",1
"A musical movie about P.T. Barnum told with all great reverence to P.T. Barnum, featuring P.T. Barnum's Museum of Curiosities...so why not just make ""Barnum"" the stage musical? The answer to that question seems to be because then they couldn't get the guys from La La Land to do the music; fair enough. But if director Michael Gracey and screenwriter Jenny Bicks were set on custom making this celebration of glitz, chicanery and humbug they could have at least opted for a little more connective tissue.

The Greatest Showman is a movie in moments, many of them great many more of them flaccid and empty. We're whisked through P.T.'s (Jackman) impoverished childhood in a single bound before settling on his happy marriage with wife Charity (Williams), and his two daughters (Johnson and Seely) who have grown to see their father as a hero. Tired of working to scrounge up a meager living, Barnum embarks on a risky entertainment venture and in due time, recruits his circus of curiosities and freaks.

From that point on, the film's narrative relies heavily on its skin-deep celebration of acceptance and diversity. This is while it chugs along through Barnum's life from his start as a full-time huckster, to his falling out with Swedish opera singer Jenny Lind (Ferguson). And while it would have been nice to say that the movie does a good job of linking theme with plot, I'm sorry to say none of it becomes a cohesive whole.

This is not entirely the fault of the filmmakers. I mean turning P.T. Barnum's life into a celebration of kindness and humanity is like using William 'Boss' Tweed as a symbol for New York pride. This film being a musical, I was not expecting something exacting, but I was expecting at the very least a keen acknowledgement that the legacy of P.T. Barnum isn't all razzle-dazzle. Yet this film makes him out to look like a saint; a man of untold potential who uses ""truthful hyperbole"" to provide for his loving family - A man of conviction, of love and of just wanting to put a smile on your face.

Framed in virtually any other way, Barnum would be the villain - enticing his young protégé Phillip (Efron) to ""live a little,"" and abandon his family to come join the circus. Belittling a theater critic with insults masquerading as flaccid, fortune cookie, self-help wisdom and enticing circus ""freaks"" to stand out and express themselves while closing the door on them the moment he's among the rich and famous. The film's show-stopping tune ""This is Me"" takes place at this moment but because the film is too scared to make its hero anything more complicated than a fancily folded cocktail napkin, the moment feels like the side characters are just letting off steam.

What ultimately saves this movie from being a complete waste of a Saturday night is the choreography. Every poppy show tune and love ballad brings with it entire body shots of twirling, leaping perfection, conjuring memories of the physical feats of the cast of West Side Story (1961). Not satisfied with the traditional, the film continues to build its momentum with incredibly fancy footwork and some truly death defying trapeze choreography on the part of Zendaya and Zac Efron.

There's imagination in the frame and a lot of it, but largely due to the film's complete inability to marry subject with tone, The Greatest Showman is far from great. Rather than being a worthy successor to Moulin Rouge! (2001) this picture winds up feeling like Newsies (1992) without a Crutchy. And let's face it; the only thing we really remember about that movie was there was a character named Crutchy.",6
"The intrinsic beauty of Greg Mottola's ""Superbad"" is its flow, a movie paced like a hip-hop track, one whose lines--written in a semi-biopic way by funnymen Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg--are delivered with verbal atrocity and cool rigor making this one of the funniest movies ever.

It's a movie which cheats in sustaining excellence by lining up hectic events after hectic events. It all starts when two co-dependent high school seniors--Seth and Evan, whom the writers named after themselves, played by Jonah Hill and Michael Cera respectively--plan to go all out at their final graduation party. How? By providing the booze. But guess what? They're underage. So they convince another buddy of theirs, Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) to get a fake ID and be the buyer. You can see where this is going. From here on now, chaos ensues. Chaos which I will not spoil because this movie is worth seeing for oneself.

What I will discuss, though, is the element which ties it all together and keeps the ride bumpy but also interesting--the chemistry between Seth and Evan. Evan got into Dartmouth College, he is more of an introvert, a guy who doesn't pick fights and just wants to have a good time. And then there's Seth. He is an eclectic, energetic mastermind who does most of the brainwork. They both want the same thing but is the difference in their approach that keeps this fresh.

I don't know how much of themselves writers Rogen and Goldberg poured into these two characters, but they are outcasts. And while Evan looks like he's at the acceptance stage of his societal situation, Seth's fervor is unquenchable. So much so, in fact, that he is willing to steal to get his way. It's peer pressure put on himself, by himself. The way Rogen and Goldberg succumb their characters into troubles brought on by adolescent woes only makes their comeback more triumphant.

But is this a coming of age movie? I don't think so. It's too brief and too funny for that. Besides the many existential questions brought on with maturity, the movie is also more bothered to make fun of itself in an attempt at peer recognition. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that because it works--I laughed and now I think Seth and Evan are cool.",8
"Boring film, Scarjo only reason I watched this movie. I just didn't like it.",1
"It was a great movie. I loved the 3-D, the direction,acting. The way of building up the character of Dr. Strange was brilliant.

I have one major detailing issue with the film which was the casting for the masters in the temple. The temple is situated in Kathmandu, Nepal. The scriptures are in the Sanskrit language, they called in Vedic Sanskrit. And yet none of the masters were of Indian or Nepal origins. Their accent was western and the masters were all of the foreign origins. This detail of the movie was stupid according to me. Even if it is true to the comics, it is not true to the story. If one is fluent in Sanskrit mantra pronunciation, they won't be pronouncing chakra or other Sanskrit words, the way they were.

Another part I did not like is how easily the masters are killed when Dr. Strange is shown putting a good fight. Lastly, the enemy was not explained or created properly, we do not know about the enemies character.

Overall, I loved the movie. The 3-D and effects are worth your time.",4
"Leans too heavily into humor; the light-heartedness is a staple of the MCU, but here, it undercut too much, and some jokes felt forced. Some good recurring jokes do land, but they are few and far between. Also, some character motivations left me scratching my head. I was left with some confusing questions, especially regarding one character, and I'm hoping that was left open to be explained in the future, as opposed to being left open because no one could think of a good explanation. What saves this movie are the great effects in the action scenes, especially concerning the characters changing sizes during fights.",4
Would have been great for a limited series ending at season 1. As the seasons continue the conspiracies and plot points get more ridiculous and some of the acting is really awful.,5
"Black Mirror is one of the best shows currently on TV. The updated Twilight Zone-style show blends twisted reality with technology in the near future. Each episode from season 1-4 is easily watchable and at least very good, while many episodes are brilliant. Sometimes the twist isn't at the end...but at the beginning or the middle...it always keeps you on your toes and delivers. You find yourself saying, ""I could see that happening within the next 5-10 years."" And some of the plot lines are starting to drift into reality today. Black Mirror seasons 1-4 are a must watch.

Then there is the fifth season. Do not bother. Each show is terrible. The stories get ridiculous, are pointless, or have characters you just do not care about. Like too much in Hollywood these days diversity was put ahead of story the episode called Striking Vipers. It has an LGBT storyline...that isn't really LGBT...and doesn't seem to know what to do with itself other than check off a box for an LGBT theme. They weren't willing to go where it needed to go or just thought virtual reality sex would be enough to make it interesting...it does not. Check out the earlier episode, San Junipero for a brilliant LGBT storyline that works on all levels. Episode 2 in season 5 is completely forgettable. And episode 3 with Miley Cyrus attempts to make you feel sorry for vacuous pop stars but instead makes you hate them all the more. Season 5 seemed mailed in without much effort.

Season 6 needs to be a great improvement or the show could lose viewers. Watch seasons 1-4...skip season 5 altogether.",9
"Anyone who's seen ""Fargo"" has experienced something they've never experienced before. The Coens are back and they're better than ever!

Frances McDormand plays Marge Gunderson, a pregnant police woman who becomes enthralled in a scandalous kidnapping/murder case involving swindling used car dealer Jerry Lundegaard, who's hiring two buffoons to kidnap his wife so her father will cough up a large ransom.

What's so surprising about this film is that it's funny while it's suspenseful. The scenes with the kidnappers have strong language and violence and are usually serious while the scenes with Marge and her husband are quite humorous.

I was captivated right at the beginning when I purchased the DVD. It opens to a black screen with white lettering stating that the following film is a true story. Out of respect for the dead, some of the names have been changed. Entirely engrossing but yet entirely not true.

Director Joel Coen said later that if you know that the movie is based on actual events, they'll believe anything on the screen, even if it's totally unrealistic.

There are so many scenes that are ingenious: the infamous woodchipper scene, Marge and her accomplice Lou discussing the dealer plates on the murderer's car, Marge cracking a joke about a guy changing his name to ""J37-2404,"" and more.

Anyone and everyone should see ""Fargo"" some time in their life, whether it be on television or video, see it! It's extremely inventive, hilarious, and still manages to be gratuitously violent.

NOTE: When Buscemi is pulling the dead body of the cop after shooting him in the head and the car's headlights are seen getting closer and closer in the distance, this must be a reference to the Coen's first film ""Blood Simple"" in which there's a similar scene.",10
So very disappointed and I'm a huge fan. Nothing quite got there.,3
"I started watching when the show was already in season five so many of my friends had already watched it. Everyone told me that the show really declined after season 3 but I am totally hooked on it. The writers made me fall in love with each of the characters and made them all so relate-able.

Since I began watching years after the show began I was able to binge-watch the first 5 seasons. Now that I have to wait a week between episodes I'm dying. The writing is so amazing and I'm so invested in the characters that every Friday feels like it should be some sort of holiday.

If you are just starting to watch this show keep going. I promise you'll love it!",10
"I think back at each season and all the scenes in between that were memorable because of their rawness. These moments are what made the show so real. It wasn't a perfect series. In fact there are several poor plot points and a couple questionable added characters. It was fictional, and it was just Netflix binge-worthy entertainment at its core. However, it was the show's boldness and fearlessness to depict its heavy subject matter with all of its gritty realistic moments laid bare that made this entire series truly ground-breaking. It's not just a show for teenagers to watch in order to learn how to survive high school, it's a show for all people of all ages to watch to take away some awareness and lessons of life. What makes this or any show great is when they finally decide to end it, they wrap up all the storylines in ways that don't just only appease the audience's wishes for a 'happy ending.' A finale needs to also address reality and shed light on the fact that life isn't perfect and people need to move on; in 13 Reasons Why, they especially needed to do this since it's entire theme is sticking to realism. Thankfully they completed the series perfectly, as heart-wrenching as it was, it left on both a realistic deep note and an uplifting positive message which was best said by Clay Jensen, ""Even on the worst day, life is a pretty spectacular thing.""",9
"Captain America: Civil War is essentially like a battle royale between superheroes like one has never seen before. And that too, in a way that doesn't bludgeon your senses into numb submission, like some other superhero films we've seen of late!

It's full of sensational action packed scenes which prove to be an eye treat for action and the comic lovers! Iron Man and Captain America's showdown is just one of the many that will keep you absorbed in the movie. This fast-paced, intimate film is full of happy surprises; Tom Holland's Spider-Man is one.

The scenes with Tom Holland's Spider-Man and Chadwick Boseman's Black Panther are some of the best in the film. They lead up to their individual movies and prove Marvel's true superpower is its casting. The movie perfectly vindicates the awesomeness of Captain America's trilogy.",10
"The problem with this movie is that it doesn't work as a standalone movie. As a mild Potter fan and a fan of the first movie I had hoped to watch an entertaining and easy movie with some great visuals.

However what I got was a convoluted plot that I couldn't follow and a bunch of one-dimensional characters i couldn't care for. A rewatch of the first movie might help, but it wouldn't serve most of the problems, as most of the confusion is attempted to be cleared up by the end, although it simply leaves the viewer uninterested.

The performances are good and direction decent, but the script is problematic as even rich charao from the first movie are reduced to one dimensional caricatures (Queenie, Jacob).

Liked: -the visuals

Disliked: -convoluted story -surplus of uninspired characters -lack of character development -plot

"Yeah it is stunning, but 5 minutes looking at how they are swimming....and such things...you can comfortably skip to the last half hour and the last fight.

They spend most of the movie showing how they are adapting to the water and being under and then in the end, all of the sudden it looks like they are afraid to be in the water, like they can't snorkle and hold their breaths for a couple of minutes LOL And where do the sea people disappear all of the sudden in the middle of the fight?!?

Lots of plot holes.

I found myself wondering after the end, if I will be able to make myself watch another one of this avatar movies once it is finished....shame.",4
"There's no questioning the emotional impact that 12 years a slave had on me. It is quite simply an emotional punch to the stomach. The reason why I generally enjoy films that are based on true stories is that if done right they will either entertain me or move me (or sometimes both). 12 years a slave didn't entertain me (as the title of the film implies), but it was incredibly moving. This is largely down to the performances of Chiwetel Ejiofor and Lupita Nyong'o who were both convincing in their respective roles - I really felt for them and found myself trying to empathise with how much they must have suffered, but I feel it's impossible to truly appreciate the appalling treatment that these slaves must have suffered back in the 1840's.

This brings me neatly on to my next point; I've noticed that some people have criticised this film for the degree of violence that has been portrayed - I'm confused the film is about black people that are sold into slavery and the slaves were badly treated so why would you not expect it to be violent? McQueen and co have not held back and yes there are quite a number of scenes that are tough to watch, but I believe that this was done to give the audience a true understanding of how awful these black slaves were treated. Some may argue that the violence should have been toned down, but I personally feel that this would have made it feel less realistic.

There were minor problems with this film; I felt that the narrative was a bit messy - characters were introduced and then disappeared without much development. I also struggled to understand who did what - overseers, masters, debtors. All these characters were introduced with very little explanation as to what they all did. I haven't read the book but I would wager money that all this was explained better in the book. I also felt for this reason that some of the characters weren't developed quite as well as I would have hoped.

Aside from Ejiofor and Nyong'o, we also get strong performances from Fassbender and Dano. Dano doesn't get much screen time, but makes good use of the time that he's given. I personally think he's an excellent actor. Fassbender's character is the personification of evil and really gets into his character - another brilliant performance. Brad Pitt shows up towards the end, but Pitt merely goes through the motions (although in fairness he isn't called upon to do much else). Although he is only in the film for a short period of time his character proves to be very important to the plot - I won't spoil why though.

This is a great film that certainly isn't an easy film to watch. If you're the sort of person that gets upset by violent scenes then I'm not sure that this will be the film for you - which is a shame as it is very good. I myself am not keen on violence in films if it is violence just for the sake of violence - i.e it serves no purpose. In 12 years a slave the violence does serve a purpose and that's the big difference. The ending of the film is particularly moving and I suspect that it will leave quite a few people with teary eyes. A wonderful film that is essential viewing.",7
"I love The Boys from the first episode. It just grasped me. A new show is always excited, interesting setting, likeable characters and a great promise. My expectation was normal humans taking on supers. Trying to outsmart them and find their weakness to take them out. This is what I expected after the episode with Translucent. Maybe my favorite part was when they got him, and at the same time they had to escape one of the most fearfull super ever. Two points for the humans. Unfortunately it didn't go that way, instead they go after the company behind the supers. Nothing wrong with choosing a deeper story than action. First season deserved a 9.

Season never got the same steam. Yes we know, some supers are just super evil. But it really gone off the rails with episode 7. Suddenly they drag all the political nonsense and wokeness in this show. Outside universities, higher educated green-liberal millenials, Hollywood and globalist no one cares about this stuff. We normal people who go to school, get a job and just want to live a good life for ourself and the people around us are sick and tired of this political garbage. When the subtitles even write SJW and expect us to know what it means you know you just blew it with many viewers. This is how you lost the election 4 years ago. The Boys did many things right but politics killed another show.",7
One of the best made movies to come out of Indian movie industry. I am speaking from the point of view of how it's made. The story is simple but it's how it's filled with sub plots that makes it well made. The script is well written and movie is paced well. Worth watching for sure,10
"I recently watched a show called hOuSe Of ThE dRaGoN that had a 2:1 aspect ratio and it was extremely frustrating. The format made it difficult to fully immerse myself in the content as the picture felt cramped and the visual elements were not as impactful as they could have been. Instead of feeling like I was fully transported into the world of the show, I was constantly aware of the aspect ratio and how it was affecting my viewing experience.

One of the most frustrating aspects of the 2:1 aspect ratio was how it affected the way the characters and settings were portrayed on screen. The horizontal field of view felt constricted, and it was difficult to get a sense of the scale and scope of the world. This was especially noticeable in scenes where the characters were moving through large, open spaces. The cramped aspect ratio made these scenes feel claustrophobic and uninviting, rather than expansive and immersive.

In addition to the visual limitations of the aspect ratio, I also found that it affected the way I was able to connect with the characters. Close-up shots of the actors' faces felt cramped, and it was difficult to see the subtle facial expressions and emotions that are so crucial to understanding the characters. This made it harder to become fully invested in their stories and to care about what was happening to them.

Overall, the aspect ratio negatively impacted my viewing experience and I would not recommend this show to others. While the story and acting were good, the 2:1 aspect ratio was a major distraction and detracted from the overall enjoyment of the show. I would hope that in future productions, the creators and producers will consider how the aspect ratio can enhance or detract from the viewing experience and make a more thoughtful decision when choosing the format.",1
"Just finished watching a rather excellent in-theater copy of Amsterdam... It is almost impressive to a rating of 9, but I'll need a few more views. A great movie, that reminded me of the Three Stooges meet Inglorious Basterds. In a good way.

Of course, if you care to study actual history, you also know that the full irony of this picture is casting Bob DeNiro in this role as savior/speaker against the new corrupt world order. Should sound familiar, as he is the actual defender of our current administration of corruption. I laughed out loud at the pure despicable hypocrisy of his role.

Politics aside, this is a very entertaining who-done-it with pre-Nazi implications. The race-relations that led to Bale's character leading the all-Black Regiment from New York are a serious stretch at the time. Black Soldiers suffered racism and worse through WW2 (and, on rare occasion still today). But, I loved this three-way love story with these rich characters.

This film probably should've been stretched into a mini-series at least, to give more depth and time for our characters to come together as the Amsterdam team/",8
"This a great show to watch . Twists and turns thru out . Not much of a fan of Martin but getting to like him . Selena is playing her role as a girl who lost nearly everything dear to her and slowly coming back to life , in the same building she lost everything .

I bet a few will agree Amy Schumer needs to go . She is not funny , cannot act .",9
"An amazing and bold take on superheroes who, rather than the conventional view of being noble and selfless, are very human in their fundamental desire to take advantage of their skills and use it to be as selfish, commercial and authoritarian as they can manage.

The cherry on top is how unapologetically forward the show is with a display of gore, language and a beautiful mix of real parallels from our society interwoven into this piece of fiction.

Unfortunately, after the first two seasons, it's evident that the show's writing has moved from creating creative content to focussing on its own longevity. The 3rd season serves no purpose but to set itself up for more seasons, and it's hard not to feel disappointed by the irony.",8
"At the time i was watching a got distracted a couple times, but this movie speaks for the title of this review. It was my first time watching Oscar Issac, i still think i need to watch a couple more movies to understand his acting, but it was a good performance nontheless.

The story is pretty straight foward, nothing to crazy, easy to understand with just a few action scenes, or scenes with more attention, whatever you wanna call.

Cinematography wise, it's beautiful in my opinion.",7
"When the millionaire writer Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) is found dead at home, the police investigate his apparent suicide together with the famous private investigator Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig), who was mysteriously hired by someone interested in finding if Harlan was killed. They interview the dysfunctional family members and the servants that lived or worked with Harlan in his mansion but when his testament is opened, the investigation presents twists and surprises.

""Knives Out"" is an entertaining but overrated film in the style of Agatha Christie. Benoit Blanc is a kind of Sherlock Holmes and the cast is excellent. The screenplay begins without any character development and the viewer learns the characters along the investigation. Consequently the beginning is a little boring. But it is worthwhile watching this film without expecting the hype around. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): ""Entre Facas e Segredos"" (""Between Knives and Secrets"")",7
"Godfather 2 is another masterpiece from coppola and it can be argued which part is better first one or this one,both of them had incredible cast,script that is astonishing and stories that are so brilliantly made and told,godfather 2 is also one of best sequels ever made and it can be felt like they were able to improve if that is even possible some staff from first film,de niro as young vito was also brilliant and he was able to hold hes own in playing character that brando made iconic,pacino was also better here and he was able to sold every moment of tension and anger in every scene he was in,godfather 2 is another brilliantly made film and one of best made ever",10

"I didn't know the story of Dunkirk but thought it was time I learned. Two hours later I still don't know the story of Dunkirk, as this seems to have been made for people who do know. I couldn't figure out where they were, where they were going, or, for that matter, what they were saying half the time even though I'm a native speaker of English.

Apart from those minor details, the music that was so obviously designed to control your emotions was annoying. Unrealistic things like a plane taking what seemed to be hours to land on the beach while all sorts of other things transpired over what appeared to be long periods of time strained credulity past the breaking point.

I can only guess the high rating, which is what convinced me to watch, is from WWII buffs. If you're not one of them, I recommend giving this one a miss.",3

"War dramas are a dime a dozen. This one was cool, but really they all just start to blur the line for me. It was interesting to watch the war from the perspective of two dudes in a single shot type of way. The actual sets or locations were amazing. Dead bodies everywhere and lots of blood.

It wasn't anything special, but I really enjoyed myself. It had weird moments too. But it was real good.

I would recommend it

7 stars",7
"Well that was disappointing!...firstly I know it's a love letter to Hollywood but I really expected more!...it didn't feel like a tarantino movie till the last 10 minutes...the acting was superb though and loved the look of the movie but man was the story lacking!...or was sold as a love letter to Hollywood around the Manson family so I figured ""ok so like an hour or hour and half of Hollywood then the Manson family etc instead it was 2 and half hours of Hollywood (driving around,fixing stuff. Making movies) then 10 minutes of the Manson family and some story. I was just really disappointed with it. For me definitely his worst but hopefully not he's last as the rumours say x",3
Excellent plot..thrilling music ..every minute was very interesting to watch .. i guess whole movie industry will get this remaked ..,10
"Absolutely zero fun at the movies. Even the western motif manages to barely register any added interest. I love Wolverine and can enjoy any other one of his cinematic outings, but this one was boring, depressing and even the action sucked. It was as much fun as visiting a relative dying of cancer. What a stupid self-important movie.",1
"The best word to describe this film is self-indulgent. It is drawn out and self-indulgent, focusing much more on Jack's story than Allie's, which would be much more complex and interesting. Sure, there's a few good songs that will probably collect all the awards, but this film is a little more than over-the-top Oscar-bait. Still worth it for the few genuine moments, though, especially in the first half of the film.",5
"One of the best movies based on the Indian Army. The movie is very intense and gripping because of its nature. It will keep you pumped up throughout. The direction is great along with the whole cast. The whole setup is very realistic. Don't go for the critics reviews, they are mostly misleading. Just go and watch it. Jai Hind!!!!",8
"Why does everyone love these movies? They are junk. The story is none existent and full of rhetorical nonsense that's randomly placed and stolen from philosophers, the acting is pathetic, and I still believe the only reason people like this movie is because they are hypnotized by its ""dazzling"" special effects. People consider these ground-breaking special effects...no. Star Wars was ground-breaking, The Matrix is just people fighting for no reason other than to show off their ""great"" CGI. I sure hope they don't decide to make a 4th. 3/10 stars.",3

She back in time and talk to her family as nadia not nora..everyone know if you back in time dont get any attintion or they lock you down in hospital as crazy person.

I couldnt complete this show ..i stopped in episode 3 and its soooooo stupid.",1
"I thoroughly enjoyed this series, even if I'm probably 3 decades past the target audience. Jenna Ortega does a fantastic turn as an angsty teenage Wednesday Addams. Like all good Tim Burton heroines, she manages to perfectly encapsulate a zealous thirst for the macabre and doe-eyed vulnerability in equal measure. The female cast members were all particularly strong, although the overly expansive cast left most characters woefully underdeveloped outside of a couple core relationships.

The story is a whodunit mystery that most will likely figure out, but I thought the quirky journey and characters made up for the predictability of the plot. Overall, it felt similar to Stranger Things as a homage to past shows, rather than being purely derivative. To me, it seemed like some strange love child of Teen Wolf and Daria... but not in a bad way! An enjoyable weekend watch.",8
"I'm blown away at how disappointed I was when I finally got to watch this one via Netflix. I'll say it out front: it's incoherent. Sure, the sets and people look good. I especially like the edges on the silly spears the female troops use, but all that production value is tossed aside if not hitched to a comprehensible plot. Here, I am now halfway through the flick and have only the vaguest idea of what's going on.

I'll give it another go this evening. I'm unsure if I'll start it again or continue from where I am in hopes something pulls things together for me. I understand the high ratings on this bomb. I too enjoy finally seeing black actors behave like humans instead of caricatures but surely it can be done in a better constructed vehicle.",3

its amazing how it makes u laugh in one scene and cry in the next. inspite of the emotional bit,still its a fun film to watch.

it emotional scenes are not overdone or underdone.they r just perfect.

the acting by lead actors is really impressive.

actually,everything about this movie is just great. everyone should try to watch it.

The ending given to the film could not have been better. whats the thing that the review should be of 10 lines minimum.isn't there space for persons of few words like me on IMDb",10
"I was very disappointed. At points I thought it could have been a good film; good actors, good decor, seemingly reasonable budget. With such a high rating I expected a decent film, however, it is lacking in suspense and excitement, as in my opinion the most intense or interesting parts of the film are made light of, making it rather monotonous. The story and the film in general after the first 45 minutes or so became rather boring to the extent I would have got up and left had I been alone. There is no real connection with the characters or the plot and the viewer is left indifferent as to the end result. I found to be meaningless and insincere, and found myself wanting the film to end just so I could leave.",4
"Dear TVF Team,

Just finished the finale. It was really fun waiting for next episodes to come and enjoy. I must say you guys have done tremendous work and have produced something Indian viewers could only get in other Non-Indian TV series. Warna India Mein Toh Bas Abhi Bhi ""Kyun Ki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi"" with Ekta Kapoor. Society Spoiler TV series. Your series was worth a watch and sharing with friends.

If you're someone who already watches a lot of 'out there' programmes be it futuristic Sci fi, dark humour, horrors then you will not like this show, It will bore you.

I've read through some reviews people wrote that being shocked was the point of the show, I wasn't shocked, I was bored. I tried a couple of episodes in series 1 and one episode in series 4 just to see if it got better, Arkangel was awful.",1
"This movie was a pleasant surprise for me. It's a comedy/action film that seems silly but I found it profound besides very entertaining. The battle between the alien and his host reminded me of our own battles with our dark side and the work we need to do to accept ourselves. Also, I really loved the extraordinary visual effects, the production, the acting, the direction, the cinematography . I applaud the whole cast and crew for an excellent job. A comic book story elevated to its best! Thank you for that !",10
Wandavision is an amazing start to the MCU getting its first show on Disney plus. Each episode was different from anything I've saw any show do before. The sense of wonder why watching it wondering if this is real or fake kept me on the edge of my seat each episode. Can't wait to see more from Marvel with Disney plus.,8
"Just about 15-20 people turned up for the show. The multiplex I go to (Inox Swabhumi) has small crowds but this was sparse by even their standards. Every one is still catching up with My Name Is Khan or Three Idiots.

The movie itself was a bit of a disappointment though I didn't expect much. I looked forward to seeing Deepika Padukone in the unorthodox and brave style she usually portrays and Farhan Akhtar in his logical usual because I enjoy both these roles. Deepika was excellent in Love Aaj Kal and Farhan Akhtar was good in Luck By Chance. As much as I love Farhan Akhtar (I placed two of his films in Bollywood decade top 10), I think his acting is good without being close to great. And that's fine, you can't be great at every thing.

Coming to the movie. It had a pleasant first half and an excellent start to the second half. The grip and tension could not be maintained though. It felt like a slow drama evolving in front of you instead of a thriller like it should have been (in the same pace of Johny Gaddar). There was never a moment of pure brilliance or a shot taken which really enthralled you.

The songs except Lehrake Bhalkake were all OK tunes and even though I don't care much about songs, I expected more here. Ram Kapoor of Rakhi Ka Swayamwar fame was good in his role of Farhan Akhtar's boss. The mystery behind the movie was not very complex and I figured it out partially very early into the film. I am watching Teen Patti next and I expect it to be the better bet of the two this weekend.

Hats off to Duffers I never felt being 80s kid before watching stranger things I'm a 2K one I love the vibe of the show and the scary jump scares in season 1 and 2 But little disappointed of third season But it's the favourite of all But I am a lover of horror but I couldn't see horror in season 3 Season 4 is going to be dark as of the Duffers told before Eagerly waiting for season 4.",9
"First, I really like war movies like Saving private Ryan, Apocalypsis Now or The thin Red Line. Second, 1917 is a pretty good film with an excellent cinematography. Third, the camera work and the only few CGI effects are amazing too. But, on the other hand, the script here is not quite original and the storyline is quite weak. To add, some scenes looks like unrealistic or unbelievable. So, overall a pretty good war film but not a masterpiece like Saving Private Ryan. Enjoy.",7
"A fantasy series with an interesting background story. I did not read the books and did not play games so for me season 1 felt messy, not so organized. Season 2 was much clearer. There was a good balance between the dialogues, the action, the thriller, and the humor.

"Another year, another gross-out teen comedy about horny high-school losers attempting to vanquish their virginity. Two co-eds who are attempting to woo a group of girls by supplying their party with booze end up having the most elaborately awry night of their life. Going into the screening one could be forgiven for fearing the worst with the sheer number of schlock that had been farmed out of Hollywood since American Pie made the teen comedy cool again. Fear not, Superbad is a riot, and so for two key reasons. One - it is produced by Judd Apatow, comedy auteur of such hits as Knocked Up and The 40 Year Old Virgin. Two - its two stars, Jonah Hill and Michael Cena are fantastic finds. Hill takes an obnoxious, porn-obsessed oaf of a kid and laces him with bags of charm and great comic timing. Cera goes one step further, engulfing his character with the kind of nervous stuttering that only a Ricky Gervais sitcom might dare make funny. It may be crude, crass and deeply superficial. But sex is never funnier when high school kids try it.",7

"Can't stand it at all. None of the Characters are appealing, none of them is attractive. The princess and the King.....man. Just can't compare to the old dragon princess. I hope she will grow old later and the king will die soon. Violence or sex, none. The fighting horrible. The new lord of the rings, i would say way better, but i don't get why people rate this much higher, for that i will rate it a 6, usually it would be a 7. One more episode i will save my time for something outs. Starting to this is going to be dissappointing. The 1st look of all those characters already make me feel they are trying to find some mediocre actors and actresses to play the shows, now the feeling continues. I was thinking at least the story or the CG would be exciting, not at all after a few scences of showing off the dragons, excitement are all gone after #2.",6
"Hmm 150 million dollars for a movie with poor editing, poor dialogue, disconnected scenes, hard to follow story, ridiculous things happening left right and centre...

Imagine if netflix funded 150 small films with promising new directors. You could easily make 150 good films for the cost of this one bad one.

Also, does anyone actually believe that laughing gas is a thing? Nitrous oxide does not make people just fall about laughing like that. It does feel like the story was written by a thirteen-year-old.",2

"Since I've never been a fan of Steven Spielberg's movies, starting with ""E. T."", I debated if I should go ahead and spend $6 to rent this film, or wait until it became free to stream at Amazon or elsewhere. It looked like a movie I would really like, though, so I decided to get it this weekend. That turned out to be a mistake.

This dull film drags so badly, one would swear it lasted five hours instead of two and a half. The biggest drag was Michelle Williams. I certainly hope Mr. Spielberg didn't think he was portraying his mother in a sympathetic way. His high school years seemed as unreal as unreal could be, too. It was like watching a really bad high school and beach party movie combined.

The film reminded me of poorly written memoirs, where the memoirists could not care less if their reading audience liked their book or even understood it. No, the most important thing was for them to tell their childhood story exactly how they wanted to tell it. Steven Spielberg obviously tells his childhood story in this movie exactly how he wanted to tell it. I hope at least he's happy with it. Personally, I would like my $6 back.",2
"Losing its Spielberg meets King tone, Stranger Things' 80s seem more a collection of movie references than a milieu; however, the show is now structured less like a movie than episodes waiting for a cliffhanger. The evil Russians don't even feel like throwback villains since they've pretty much returned as a standard Hollywood trope, but where they're shoved in requires almost as much suspension of disbelief as the upside-down. Forcing us to believe two impossible things is maybe a bit much. The season's okay, some of the chemistry is still there, but it's running low on whatever the magic ingredient was.",6
"I was a little hesitant going into this show. Would it be too childish? Does it live up to the hype? I watched the first episode and was immediately hooked. The characters are well developed; the stories interesting and well written and the overall setting is stunning. The series manages to remain child-friendly while still being mature and well balanced. It's humour is often witty and sometimes downright hilarious.

The story is that of the Avatar, someone who can control all four elements in a world where 'benders' exist: those who can control their respective elements. 100 years beforehand, the Fire Nation (the fire benders) invade the rest of the world, but the Avatar seemingly vanished. 100 years later, in present day, the Avatar is revealed to be a young air bender called Aang who is the last of his people. He meets two Water Tribe citizens: Katara, a water bender and Sokka, a warrior. Together, they aim to teach Aang the four elements and to save the world from the Fire Nation.

A stunning, stunning show.",10
"Right at the beginning - is this a good show? Yes. Is this the best thing since sliced bread? No. I don't think that the show deserves so much praise as it gets. There's almost a pathological sense of nostalgia nowadays and I would ascribe a lot of the series success to it's setting in the 80's. The feeling of the ""good old days"" is so abundant in the audience that they'll swallow pretty much anything with the retro vibe and continue to ask for more. So, let's put off those nostalgia glasses and be realistic. The series deserves praise for the execution since it's good enough to keep you engaged and make you binge watch the whole season. On the other hand, so many things have already been seen in other movies/series that there's no sense of originality (at least for me). If you are a long term fan of the genre, there's almost nothing new to see here. But if you're a newcomer, this will be a nice initiation into this type of movies/series and hopefully it will encourage you to dig deeper and find all the other works that inspired this one. For the beginning start with the one I've put in the tittle. Happy hunting.",8
"I have been looking forward to this for a few days - has great potential and a really cool concept but it was a complete mess. Disjointed, confusing, overly bloody, very high f-word count and totally illogical. I love good action movies but this was just not. I mean, the whole moral is killing the bad guys who do bad...but we will kill loads of civilians in the process? Hmmm. With the exception of cheesy romcoms, I continue to await a Netflix film which I haven't wanted to turn off. This was two hours of my life I will never get back...",1
"Let me start by saying that this show has what pretty much every other show and many movies lack; atmosphere, imagination and subtlety.

This is a work of art in every way, from the awe inspiring cinematography, to the fantastic directing, the chilling sound design/soundtrack, actors performance, dialogue, editing, brilliant art direction. Everything works in unison and for the same purpose. I can't state enough how much this team did an amazing job. I've seen all the movies based on the books, Silence Of The Lambs being my favorite. This series is in a totally different level from those movies. Even Mads Mikkelsen is a better suited actor to play Hannibal Lecter than Anthony Hopkins and he does deliver a better performance.

The story is told in a very subtle way, with lots of metaphors and meaningful visuals that help build tension and keep the suspense. While keeping some parts of it subject to interpretation, many pieces of information form a puzzle in which the viewer has to put together by himself. There are a lot of things that are not shown or told directly, the viewer has to be part of it to understand it fully.

All seasons are fantastic, but the last season was a little bit weaker than the previous ones, mainly because they had to wrap the story due to the show being cancelled. And i think this show was cancelled exactly because it is not meant for the average viewer, it demands more and the vast majority of audiences are not prepared for this.

Bottom line, this is one of the best shows ever to air on TV and it should serve as reference for movies as well. Most movies nowadays lack imagination and the world is saturated with money making blockbusters that no one will remember a week later. This one is here to stay as a future cult classic.",10
"Many people saying that this show is boring and needs more potential, they are blank minded, because they aren't trying to get that this time Marvel has tried something really different, the 1st two episodes of are successful in developing it's suspense and ya, the Character development is very strong too.",8
"When you get a little over half way through a movie and start to get exasperated because it hasn't ended yet, you know something's wrong. The big-time action movie I'd compare this to is ""Last Action Hero"", because that too had a good premise, interesting visuals, good actors, and just didn't know when to stop.

Another problem was all the 1980s references! I get that the world's creator would have been into 20th-century pop culture, but why are all the kids from the future into it too? I mean that would be like a world where our pop culture references were all from the 1950s. That just seemed lazy to me.

Good action sequences, a few interesting characters performed with skill, and some scintillating visuals raised it a bit above a 5 to a scant 6 for me. But I'd only recommend this if you are getting it for free (like I did on Prime). Don't bother paying extra for it.",6
"It's a great show, very well acted, well written, well shot, little to no flaws, but it's been done so many times before with the sinner, mindhunter, sharp objects, etc. Where you get this cop sop thriller where the main protagonist is investigating something and they are also solving internal issues and somehow it all collapses together at the end and the investigation and the internal issues become one whole thing... i just think it was kind of seen already. It does bring some twists i have to admit i did not see coming and it kept my interest until the end, again, great show, just wish they would move on from this police drama thriller formula.",8
"After rewatching the entire Ip Man series which had a grounded style of fighting, I've thought about a martial movie that was the opposite of that. I haven't watched this movie in ages but I remember it for being the most ridiculous movie ever. I decided to rewatch ""Kung Fu Hustle"" and it is still as grand and ridiculous as ever. When the hapless Sing (Stephen Chow) and his dim-witted pal, Bone (Feng Xiaogang), try to scam the residents of Pig Sty Alley into thinking they're members of the dreaded Axe Gang, the real gangsters descend on this Shanghai slum to restore their fearsome reputation. What gang leader Brother Sum (Chan Kwok-Kwan) doesn't know is that this neighbourhood doesn't take kindly to interlopers.

Let's start with what makes this movie stand out from other movies, the comedy. This movie has very dark humour, for example, the axe gang leader kills two people with a knife and shotgun and then the next scene goes to them all dancing to a cool score by Raymond Wong. You're never really sure if you are meant to laugh or it is genuinely seriously but director Stephen Chow intertwine both together to create some weird humour but it just works.

Another part of the charm of the unique comedy is this movie is the surprisingly over the top slapstick, Looney tunes comedy. The director employs this by using very cartooney sound effects and having guys get hit around like toy ragdolls that result in some laugh out moments. There is a chase scene that feels like it is from Bugs Bunny. I don't want to spoil any of the moments if you haven't watched it but it's as crazy as it sounds and it's awesome.

This movie isn't just all comedy though and has some amazing fight/action scenes. The director uses a lot of wirework and surprisingly a lot of CGI which is quite unprecedented in a martial art or even a comedy movie but it is used very effectively. The fight scenes are well directed and edited but best of all incredibly exciting and thrilling to watch. Despite all the wirework and CGI, every fight is completely visible with no over edits or shaky cam and in 2004 that was quite rare in action movies.

The movie was undoubtedly inspired by many American movies such as The Matrix, Spiderman and even The Shining. The director incorporates these very blatant references in the movie to the point that it seems like it is copying but yet it feels unique due to how the director utilises it.

All the actors in this movie are great including the director, Stephen Chow, who plays the main lead. Every actor including supporting actors embody the ridiculous nature and manage to stand apart from each other that even in the short runtime of 98 minutes, the audience can grasp every single character's personality and quirkiness in minutes. The set design is amazing as it represents the 1940's Shanghai and feels vibrant and alive. The costumes are great as they feel believable and manage to capture the personality of some of the characters. The score by Raymond Wong is incredible and captures the nature of the movie with one of the stand out being the Axe Gang music which will make you want to dance with it.

If there had to be a flaw in the movie then it has to be the lack of a coherent plot. The synopsis is the basic premise for the beginning of the movie but a lot of other different plot points happen to intertwine with this about other characters and then there is this other new plot happening in the third act which makes it feel incoherent. Another flaw would be the lack or very rushed character development which is in part due to its short runtime. Characters can completely change in personality in a matter of minutes without any real build-up towards it.

Bill Murray described this movie as ""the supreme achievement of the modern age in terms of comedy"" and honestly that is a fair assessment. I feel like there will never be another movie like this ever. The movie blends kung fu, CGI and cartooney humour to create what I consider is one of the most hilarious movies ever made. If you haven't watched it then I HIGHLY recommend you give this movie a watch!",9
"#MCUrewatch. Cap 3 is truly a great, great film. Its greatest strength: pitting Captain America against Iron Man. These two man have been opposites right from the first Avengers film. And here they have different opinions regards the Sokovia Treatment. And the great thing is: you can understand both their opinions on this difficult matter. This film doesn't have a simple black and white storyline. It is grey and all the more grown up. By this time, the MCU films were critized for their weak antagonists. This film is brilliant in the fact that is has no clear antagonist. Another criticism it tackled: the predictable climaxes where entire cities get destroyed while our heroes fight uninteresting villains and their emotionless minions. This film ends (after the ultimate superhero showdown that is both spectacular and funny) with an emotional climax and a battle of wills between Cap and Iron Man. They made the criticism of Avengers ruining entire cities the core of the plot...brilliant. And if that isn't enough: the directors also deliver on the action, the pace of the story is perfect and it introduces two new great characters (Black Panther and especially Spider Man). A truly great action film and perhaps the best of the entire MCU franchise.",9
"Yet another much beloved franchise clumsily mishandled by writers and director with a social engineering agenda.

When will they learn?

They keep blaming the FANS of the stories when their terrible adaptations inevitably tank.

Zero self awareness.

Stop ruining our favorite stories!

Cavil is the only reason to watch season 1, I feel bad that he was stuck with the script he had, he's a talented actor and a perfect fit for the story, don't even bother watching season, it's just straight up bad.",4
"Great all these idiots out there with their positive reviews are encouraging studios to make more super hero films. This film didn't even make sense. How did the joker mastermind so many 911 type explosive terrorist incidents?

Boiled down, this is just another brain dead action flick.

If you like stunts, hostage scenes and actors who take themselves a bit too seriously (not a poke at Ledger, just everyone else) then by all means see this film.

I mean if there are heaps of ten year olds who thought this film was good and you do too, well, do you think there's something wrong with you?

Well buddy if you do really like this film there is something wrong with you. Ultra secret cave-dwelling caped crusaders don't exist OK. You need to move on. Swallow your pride and move on.",2
"I know this is based on a popular hand but wow, this was painful to watch. Not even the good actors can save this show. The first episode was not bad, but after all the apocalypse & zombie movies and shows out there, this has to be the worst! I love Pedro Pascal and he does a good job with the material. But it's just SO slow. After shows like The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones, this is like watching paint dry. And those shroom heads! Are you kidding me? I am at a loss as to how this is getting such high marks. Are you guys getting paid to write positive reviews? Maybe you're a fan of the game. Please tell me the game is more exciting than this show!",1
"Oh Gosh! If they only went in with an R-rating instead of this PG-13 crap. For serious, A film that stars two mighty lethal and ferocious beasts like Venom & Carnage; not having an R-rating should be deemed as an act of foolishness, period.

I know the approach in the first part was pretty similar, however in that case, I could say it was still moderately reasonable. Simply cause that film was cited more like an Origin Story than anything else and it also was in search of a strong base of audience. There, PG-13 makes a lot of sense! But now when they've got what they wanted, this time with the sequel, specifically with Carnage in there, it should have been bestowed with nothing but Gore & Violence.

Without those vital characteristics, Venom 2 rather feels like unfinished work. Seems like the makers didn't even care to bring it to its fullest potential! The story is half-baked, the editing is anything but crispy, even the CGI; which was supposed to play a comparatively greater role, looked nasty in places.

As for the characters; well, what can I say? It's just that, besides Venom & Eddie; others had little to no significance. Sadly, this involves Carnage as well, shocking right? I know! Given the buzz and all the anticipations surrounding this exotic symbiote; I'm sorry to say his portrayal didn't live up to the hype.

The sole highlight and probably the only saving grace here is the Humour and of course this odd yet promising Dynamic in-between Venom & Eddie. They made me laugh out loud at times as well as hit just the right strands of sentiments in a few.",5
So disappointed in this one! The first film was so so good! Was so excited to see this but literally NOTHING really happens.. found myself switched off by the end. 👎,2
"The fight scenes, the music, the cinematography, the whole atmosphere is amazing. But story not so good like game of thrones..",8
Im a barbie girl in a barbie world. Life is plastic and its fantastic. Really good. Meta. And a fun time with the family. There's a lot more i want to say. Ryan gosling was funny and good and its nice to see asian representation . It's not as funny as i thought it was going to be but it had a lot of meaning. Women empowerement. Greta Gerwig is always a good one and maerogt robbie definitely is perfet for the role of barbie. I cant think of anyone else. I was a little cringing at some people going and wearing pink but overall everyone had a good time and i think familys would enjoy it and its better than oppenheimer.,9
"Visually, it was a great movie to watch - colourful, cute and quirky. I enjoyed the first 20 - 30 minutes and then it went downhill from there. There's a lot of fantastic actors in it but I didn't go in with high expectations as I had no idea what to expect.

For the story itself - sure, there were some morals and statements presented but it was a bit flat and a lot of the same. I left feeling totally underwhelmed. Gosling was great though. A few bits did make me laugh but it struggled to hold my attention. As sometimes happens, a lot of the funny parts were in the film trailers. I wouldn't watch it a second time through.",6
"""The Godfather"" is simply wonderful, and ""the Godfather - part II"" is not less good. It's the best sequel ever made. It's wonderful to see two great actors as Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro: I don't know who acted better in this film...both are fantastic!",10
"This is a great Woody Allen-esque mystery. But cmon! I'm not at all familiar with Selena Gomez, and probably for good reason. She is way out of her league along side Martin and Short. I'm sure they could have found a better young actress for the part.",9
What's all the hype? I think there is political diversity intended in this movie. Kinda boring. And all over the place.,4
"It had been a long time since i saw any quality movie with finest romance and may be that vacuum has got my feelings to like this more than it deserves (may be). We have scenes varied versions of romantic movies and here is a special one where in one partner can not speak the way human speaks but can very well speak the language of love because Love is an universal language does not any special tool to express it except for yourself. Love has been so effectively shown that any routine romantic movie may not be able to showcase it even with spoken words.

777 Charlie, it is a great cinematic experience in its own pace (slow at times) showing different emotional settings of a human being through few specific scenes. Charlie who is a new comer has delivered a performance which is unparalleled, Rakshit Shetty is great as always, Background Score has absolutely matching every scene filled with emotions along with absolutely simple yet effective cinematography. Other characters who are part of the movie had very limited role to play however everyone has lived upto the expectation. Overall a good movie filled with loads of emotions and leaves many questions open in one's mind to think for the self about love, hope and respect.

Charlie Rocks.

Love , Respect, Empathy, Humility are beyond spoken languages because of its universality and here is a masterpiece taking you to the world of Charlie in special way.",9
"The movie looked great and had a cast full of capable actors, but that's not nearly enough. The story was a rambling mess designed for David O. Russell to impress the audience with his views that would have been progressive in the 1930's, like ""Nazi's are bad"" and ""Black people deserve respect"". By the time he got around the actually telling the damn story I didn't care, and frankly I don't think Russell did either. This movie was more about him getting Margot Robbie in front of his camera than anything. Christian Bale can't help but be great, but Atlas couldn't have carried this movie. I hope they had more fun making this dreck than I did watching it.",3
"The Mona Lisa is an artistic masterpiece. The Mona Lisa is more than 500yrs old and people still remember that masterpiece of art. This movie is not a masterpiece and will be lucky to be remembered in 100yrs.

The Mona Lisa is a masterpiece in many ways and I could look at it for hours without being bored. This movie is 1hr and 38mins long and I turned it off after 40mins.

This is only an artistic masterpiece to narcissistic people who want to act like they're smart. The same people who used to watch Big Bang Theory and act like a Physicist just because they watched it. Enjoy being fake smart lol.",1
Why do all new shows have to have people that screw things up so badly in the beginning only to barely pull it all together in the end. Logic tells you you cannot screw things up so badly that it would take a miracle to be successful in every episode and to end up happy in the end. I realize this is just fantasy but these people come up with the most ridiculous solutions to relatively simple problems that the show is almost unwatchable. In the long run what a disappointment.,3
I was not expecting that this black comedy will be this good. Blended mixture of emotions and laughter. The chemistry between each character is superb. The scenes were so perfectly connected. One of the best crime laughter black drama comedy movie. The background music too is superb.,10
"The Main plot of the show was to develop, ferment and construct the idea of setting up a Black Captain America. Coming from a comics background Marvel has done a tremendous job. I really liked they way to close the open threads towards the end of season. Thank you MCU for bringing such quality content to our screens.

From India with love.",9
"I watched every episode of this expecting that at some point it would grip me in the way it has so many others. But I don't get it. I don't understand the high ratings. I loved Line of Duty, every episode of every season and I would happily watch it again, all of it, but I cannot accept a character, a Bodyguard, who hasn't the wit to put his mobile phone onto vibrate or turn the sound right down when it is ringing and ringing and irritating his boss, the Home Secretary, in the car. What did he say? Something like 'Sorry ma'am I have to keep it on for work.' I have a suggestion: one mobile phone for work and one for personal use. I didn't find the acting particularly wooden but the dialogue was rather unbelievable at times, the casting could have been better, and the plot? The plot was all over the place and we had every 'villain' thrown into the mix to throw us off the track of 'who dunnit' except for Russian gangsters. Or were there Russian gangsters and I just missed it among all the confusion.",2
"The truth is there is no content left for the makers of horror films , Same repeated cliche things , so boring , after seeing other imdb reviews i went to theatre so excited that finally a good movie , but was heavily disappointed",5
"Disappointing! Dragged and predictible. With under developed characters that you simply cannot connect with. The guy who played sk and guri were so irritating and over the top. Only Abhilash's character was a bit interesting, but again, underwhelming on the whole. The dialogues were below the standards of what tvf usually has. The background score was okay but again at times it felt disconnected to the story. Very half baked and over exaggerated.",2
"Perhaps I am not sophisticated enough to see this movie as a work of art but I believe that this movie is not worth all the great reviews. The characters are very weak and superficial. Many times it is really boring and long. There were a few funny scenes but I liked Bill Murray much better in Groundhog Day! I also thought this movie was disrespectful of Japan and Japanese culture, which we could hardly see. A little more attention to Japan and its people would have avoided the silly stereo-typing.

This movie really left me lost, not in translation, but in the movie theater. After watching this flick I asked me: Is that all there is?",2
"This is the second Bollywood film I've watched (the first being Lagaan--which was also spectacular!)...I actually watched these two films because I like the composer's work (A. R. Rahman). I was also very captivated with the dancing on the moving train sequence for ""Chaiya Chaiya.""

The acting by SRK and Manisha Koirala was perfection, with so much range of emotion and highs and lows. I'm glad I happened to see a YouTube comment about the ending (not a spoiler, but at least it made me more prepared for the realism of a tragic tale).

It is not often that I feel this type of depth and range of emotion from media experience. One other time that I felt this way was when I finished reading Anna Karenina. These human experiences through well-told stories are unforgettable in a very artistic, and somewhat intensely private way (since we all experience movies/books/etc. in our own way).",10
A puzzle where all the pieces fall into place at the right time. The soundtrack blends perfectly. Great pacing. The screenplay is so good that even the 2nd-tier antagonists gain character development.,8
"Felt like writing the review because of the ratings🤦, The Last Of Us is nothing but generic, there is nothing unique other than it is just an adaptation of a Video Game 🤦🤦🤦.

Take any american post apocalyptic and its the same, hence boring. Pedro Pascal is good choice and that is the only good thing about the series. Isabella Ramsey is not even trying to act well, whats with that??

So its ok if you dont watch if you've already watched movies like I am Legend, A quiet place, Army of the dead, or american drama series The walking dead.

Honestly its not even close to Kingdom or A train to Busan.",5
The writing is horrible and the pace is agonizingly draining.,6
"The series that got me to subscribe to Amazon Prime. Despite reading all about the spoilers, amid all the hype I just had to go and watch it for myself.

And sadly, it is not as satisfying as I hoped it would be. The production values are pretty good, as are most streaming series these days.

The characterization was a bit spotty, they were dead right on some but the others, not so much. For example, I'm not sure they really knew what to do with Queen Maeve, nor with The Deep. I think they wanted him to the Comic Relief of the series, but he didn't come off as that funny.

Initially it was good see a fresh take on the Superhero genre, but eventually it just got a bit tiresome watching a bunch of jerks with few redeeming qualities.

Still a good enough series to watch overall, with some nice plot twists.",8
"I find Franc Castle.character very complex and well played. We need a 'skip button' for all Madani and Billy Russo scenes, just bad writing and boring characters. I find myself skipping all their appearances at some point.",7
"I remember when ""Black Mirror"" first came out. For some reason I gave it a miss and didn't get round to watching it, which was a shame. Now in 2022 and with Netflix, I thought id give it another chance and was not disappointed.

It's an anthology series, where each episode is different from its last and takes place in a near futuristic reality. Some episodes are in a futuristic reality, where you could imagine how that's how the world may be in the next 30+ years and then there is some where it goes into the bit extreme and surrealism.

Most of the episodes I did enjoy and there was a few that I didn't, but that's probably one of the good things about this series. There's an episode for everyone and they try and explore all different aspects and scenarios of what all kinds of different people, from all aspects of live life could face in each of these different realities.

There's alot of big names in this, before they actually made it really big and also there's alot of Marvel stars which I thought was a pleasent surprise. It makes you wonder, if this is the show that got them more recognition for their career.

Non of the episodes really join up and you can watch them in any order, or just the ones you fancy the look of and it won't make any difference to the overall outcome to the series. If you have a day free, or even a couple of hours, I recommend giving this a try.",8
"Pretty corny, cliché, and laughable. I didn't see it when it came out... most of my girl-friends have seen it and I can see why a teenage 80s girl would love it. As a teenage 80s male and now a middle aged man, this movie is predictable and soooooo cringe worthy.",4
"I have no idea why people are so hyped about this movie. Poor family was shown as people who doesn't have any values/character, greedy and ready to do whatever it takes even to the people who are nice to them or the ones who are struggling as them. I found it wrong completely.",3
"As this movie had already taken almost 2 hrs of my life, I'll try to be speedy on this one.

Some interesting filming technique. Other than that, nothing.

No, there's no sunshine in this movie. No, there's nothing eternal either. No, there's certainly nothing spotless in this movie. And by the amount of swearing, I'd say - anything but.

No, there's no mind either - except when erasing its memory (they should had done that to me, to forget I ever saw this one).

So what is in this movie? Well, 2 people. Poor in every department, including their minds. The anti-example at its most, with a large sign all over them (if you are able to read it): DON'T YOU EVER BE LIKE ME. And Hollywood thinks that we should be touched by them falling in love with each other, somewhere among all the bad words and foolish thoughts, bearing no interest whatsoever not only to any (even slightly) educated human, but to any AVERAGE (and even much below average) human anywhere.

Now, naming this movie with such a name tells everything not about the movie (as we already established that) but about its makers. Twisted, profoundly sick minds must they have, indeed. Fit for this post-modern (read: post-any-values) world, and they're the hard workers of it. Like a pack of blood-thirsty wolves, they demolish anything humans hold dear or of value, and we stand by, even let them in our homes, in our minds.",2
I use bengali subtitle but I don't understand this movie,6
"There is one song in this movie that is worth it.

The rest is soooo bad.

Camera unsteady. What's wrong with a tripod?

Bradley's character is a douche. Why would anyone fall for him?

Lady Gaga is fine, but how she hooks up with Bradley's character remains a mystery.

The editing is an absolute mess.

There is no clear story in the movie, just a lot of incoherent fragments they try to make a whole.. Discard the few ok and 1 great song and you have a raspberry award.

If you want to see a good movie go and find something else.",3
"For us ordinary people, Captain America is a good movie. Fortunately, there is no mutation, no high-tech, you can also be your own hero. Like the captain, stick to your beliefs and call the subconscious, then believe that the world will also sense your call, give you the opportunity to belong to you, and live the life you want.",8
"I don't usually write reviews but just can't let this pass. I am not really qualified to review this because, truthfully, I could only watch a little over 30 minutes of this hopeless mess. But here are my 30 minutes impressions: A musical with two stars who neither sing, dance or have charisma and are not really physically attractive. Unforgettable music. An opening musical number that is ""been there, seen that"". What most impressed me was how the car hoods buckled under the weight of the dancers.

PS. I love good movie and stage musicals having worked half my life in them.",1
Watched The boys on Prime Videos and after a long time saw such an amazing series based on comic.. It's basically the story of how the world will work in reality if there are people with superpowers & how it will affect people's life & politics. Anthony Starr(Homelander) & Karl Urban(Butcher) are soul of this series... All 3 seasons are equally amazing... Be ready for lots of Mature content... But worth watching... WELL DONE.,9
"Basically a soft porn movie with no plot, no characters with meaning and nothing to save it. Debbie Does Dallas or Autobiography of a flea are better movies. They at least have a plot.

I thought Walking through the tombstones was bad....this one would have to climb up 10 flights of stairs to make it to bad.

Only made it a hour and then switched to a movie with substance, plots and characters with meanings.

""Sexy parts"" were not sexy but cringe worthy.

Dont waste time or money on this super flop.

Basically expected female James Bond...received bad porn!",1
"This film is popular with sports stars. You will find it chosen as the favorite film on sports stars playing cards from Baseball to Hockey to Golf to Rugby League. If you have any sports cards without this listed as a favorite film it's rare! You should probably keep it, encase it in plastic as it would probably be worth something in the not too distant future.

It's a film about a guy who is about to die and he talks to Tom Hanks about this. Tom's acting is pretty plastic he morphs into the character like Bruce Lee's water speech. I've seen this on VHS, DVD and MPEG-4. If you have this on any of these I recommend watching them.",5
"Remember that young idealist Michael Corleone from the opening wedding scene in The Godfather? That Michael Corleone doesn't exist anymore. His descent began in the original film as he took over the family business. In Part II the now ruthlessly evil Michael bottoms out. He has money, he has power. But at what cost? It is hard to comprehend what he has become, so sad to see him cost himself everything he really holds dear. And, in a stroke of genius, as we watch Michael fall director Francis Ford Coppola at the same time flashes back and allows us to see Michael's father rise. The rise of Vito Corleone, the fall of Michael. Either story on its own would be epic. Interwoven together the two stories combine to make The Godfather: Part II one of the most audacious and most brilliant films ever made.

After a brief introduction to the Vito storyline Part II thrusts us right back into that familiar Godfather world which we left at the end of the first film. It is now 1958 and Michael has moved family operations to Nevada. We open at the family compound in Lake Tahoe with an elaborate party celebrating Michael's son's First Communion. Yes, the parallels with the first film's wedding scene are obvious. Rather than Vito it is now Michael who everyone waits to see. Even his sister Connie will have to get in line and wait her turn for an audience with Michael. The real business of the day, involving a proposed Corleone takeover of another casino to add to their empire, is conducted between Michael and Nevada Senator Pat Geary. We see that Michael is so powerful, and so sure of himself, that he thinks nothing of being totally dismissive and insulting towards a United States Senator. Safe to say this is not the most cordial of business meetings. Nothing seems to be decided and Geary, a true sleaze in his own right, leaves but you know we'll see him again. Michael moves on to his next meeting with Frank Pentangeli, who is now running the old Corleone New York territory. This meeting is bitter and hostile as can be. It's been a long day for Michael Corleone. And it's about to get much, much worse. An attempt is made on Michael's life. Bullets come flying into his bedroom. He and his family emerge unscathed and you know the film is now going to kick into high gear. This is going to get really, really good. And then the film immediately transports you back to 1917 and the story of Vito Corleone.

So is Coppola pulling the rug out from under you by leaving Michael's story just when you can't wait to see what happens next? Not at all. Vito's story will prove to be just as compelling as Michael's. And throughout the film Coppola chooses the absolutely perfect times to jump from one story to the other, at emotional high points, places where the connections between the two stories are the most poignant. It's brave, brilliant film making. The audience is treated to two fabulous stories which fit together absolutely perfectly. As the film plays out we see Vito begin to acquire power and Michael consumed by power. We see the great love Vito has for his family as we watch Michael's family fall apart around him. We know Vito is capable of some evil things but he still has some heart to him. Michael has clearly lost his heart somewhere along the way. Just telling Michael's story would have been enough to make this a great film. Weaving young Vito's story in so seamlessly is what makes the film something truly special.

As with the first film Coppola is helped here by universally brilliant performances from his cast. And as with the first film it is Al Pacino who makes the biggest impression. His performance as Michael is as powerful and captivating as anything you've ever seen. Michael is such a complex character and his journey from the beginning of the first film to the end of this one is something that has to be seen to be believed. And over both films Pacino is spot-on perfect every step of the way. In the parallel story it is Robert De Niro who gets the critical role of young Vito and he does ever so well in giving life to the man who would one day be Brando. We of course have the familiar faces from the first film. Robert Duvall as lawyer Tom Hagen, Diane Keaton as Michael's long-suffering wife Kay. There's Talia Shire and Morgana King. And most memorably of all John Cazale as hapless, hopeless Fredo. Part II also gives us great new characters, making room for new performers to make their mark on The Godfather saga. Lee Strasberg, Michael V. Gazzo, G. D. Spradlin, Gastone Moschin, Dominic Chianese...the list could go on and on. Such a huge cast and yet every performer seems to fit their role perfectly. The film tells two great stories and the acting is absolutely wonderful throughout. Some two hour movies seem to drag endlessly. This nearly three and a half hour movie absolutely flies by. A monumental achievement for Coppola, one of the best films of all time.",9
What if..? Is a good series which unveils what had happened in the alternate versions of the major and popular characters. Really good from Marvel as these episodes will play a major role in the main films.,7
After seeing the high reviews for this movie I thought I'd give it a try. It was 2 hours of noise then it just ends.,2
"A worthy sequel to the last season of Game of Thrones. :-/ Nevertheless, there were still good actors in that one...

No real characters, incredible basic roles (so the first main villain is called 'Daemon', c'mon...), sex as a prop (it has no role in the story, but a GT episode cannot be left without fornication), a mixture of brutal jousting and gladiatorial games, arbitrary violence, ""unexpected"" death, an imperfect king, etc.

As for the problems and the conflicts: we all know what we'll find at the end of almost every scene... And all this with a disastrous script and zero meaningful acting.

It's just a collection of boring medieval clichés (with a touch of fantasy elements) made from a lot of money.",1
"Dr Lecter was not Graham's psychiatrist!! I don't know where this story is supposed to come from,but someone pulled it out of the air!! Thomas Harris took his one famed character and wrote other books about him to build the character, movies were made afterward. Hannibal (the book) does not end like the movie,that is why Jodie Foster wouldn't act in that one! The character that plays Hannibal is the worst choice for an actor I have ever seen!! Hannibal is supposed to be slight, where is slight in this man? He is supposed to be refined. All I hear is an accent. Whoever decided to make this show is delusional. You cannot make what does not exist. I caught the third episode and there is no way Hannibal would trust a stricken girl to hold his secrets. STUPID!!! He is a genius!! Thats' why he got away with all he did,Graham caught him by chance. Please do not waste your time on this show, unless of course you have time to waste with nothing better to do. Then have at it. But read the books before you decide a show is so awesome.",2
"The show portrays an era where love was not diluted by technology. Shot in Uttar Pradesh ,it gets most of the references of its time right. Even though sometimes the show might get less pacy, the little stories that try to figure out love , finally knitting up on a larger narrative makes it interesting. Everyone has their definition of love , and I must say this one by Netflix was lovely. Binge watch worthy.",9
"Not for me. I'm evidently in the minority, but I found this a disappointing watch; even after only two episodes.

First off, it's nothing to do with the (amusing) religion outcry about 'Good Omens'. If anything, I applaud them for having fun with it. However, I found everything about it from a television show perspective a chore to sit through. I like Michael Sheen and David Tennant as actors, especially the former, but neither of them fit their roles here in my opinion. Sheen feels like he's holding back, while Tennant's performance comes across as a Bill Nighy impersonation at times - a partly tongue-in-cheek comment, but kinda not. I didn't sense any chemistry between the two, either.

The special effects are average, some of the enhanced (?) backgrounds look weak. The humour is alright, if forced. I also found the show remains on scenes for too long. For example, there's one involving three babies which they build as some sort of quick, smart, sleight of hand thing but choose to play it out in such a drawn out and obvious manner - it needed to be much more snappier, which sums up my overall feelings for this show.

As noted at the top, I am evidently in a small crowd in terms of my thoughts for this. Each to their own, I respect everyone's opinions, but I honestly didn't connect to it unfortunately. Who knows, perhaps I'll give it another chance later in life but I doubt it.",3
"This was a very well written what if about Loki's character disappearing in Avengers: Endgame. This show was very good all the way through, and to have some moron refer to it as a woke cast just because they used more than one black actor is the most idiotic thing someone could write. Welcome to the real world where not everything revolves around keeping you happy. Stick with Fox News if you are offended by seeing people unlike yourself. Sounds like someone who was cheering for the traitorous mob crashing into Congress on Jan. 6.",9
All Indian movie without dancing is trash. It's the shame of Indian movie,1
"I wanted to love this, I really did. I even went into it as a fan boy because I like Ellen Page's work. But, the entire show let me down.

The characters never go anywhere as far as development. Over the 17 year story arc of the show they never change. The plot is entirely full of holes and just ridiculous moments that would never happen and the worst sin this show has is using time travel TWICE to write its self out of a corner. The biggest sin you can make in story telling is using time travel as a scapegoat.

Overall, this show does not respect its audience. They don't care about having entertaining characters, they don't care about giving you a story with growth or intelligence, and they sure as hell don't care about respecting the viewer enough to stick with the story that is written and instead resort to time travel to bail out lazy writing.

Please just pass on this show, it's not worth your time.",1
"Don't get me wrong it is a very good series, recommended for binge watching, beautiful songs but is 9 star worthy, i don't think so.

TVF has done a great job again, but they fell short when compared to Kota Factory and Panchayat, which were much much better shows in comparison and surprisingly both of them have lesser rating as compared to Aspirants.

I have done IIT coaching from Kota and UPSC prep from Rajendra Nagar so i have seen it all too closely. I didn't feel the same closeness to show as i had felt when i saw kota factory. Script writing was not as good.

Still better than 90% of the indian web series out there.",8
"In general, the new style in Marvel shows and good acting are the positive points.",9
"I thought this was the least satisfying of the series (with Batman Begins as the best). Certainly the high point was Heath Ledger's performance, which was even more impressive since the character was written without any depth. He did have some good lines though. The down sides: the plot was extremely weak, much of the dialog was drowned out by an oppressive soundtrack and the overlong movie was dragged down by the lack of meaningful story direction with too much of the action in low light. There were also too many questions left at the end. All in all, not very believable. In contrast Iron Man was a masterpiece and a far superior movie.",4
This is an amazing movie..I did not expected it to be sooo good,4
"This movie had a good plot and could have been a good move, done right. However, it went too far in terms of violence. In a day where tragedies like the one in Littleton Colorado, we need to reconsider the violence in our entertainment. This is definitely not a movie to let children see.",2
Nothing here of interest. Another Russian action action movie short on true innovation and drama.,5
"It's just good enough to watch it. Pilot and episode 5 were good. Same Season 1 GOT, where Ep. 2-4 were setting the plot. But everything feels a little worse:

Too few characters, so no suprises and crazy fan theories. Yes, it's house of dragon and focuses on them. But 2-3 more secrets and betrayals to work from would be bettery

Most of the people kinda get along and just chill in their noble bubble. Exactly 1 ingrigue/secret is the theme from now on and it came by episode 5.

The cast is ok, GOT cast was genius.

Feels like they picked all the second choices from GOT. Yes, it takes time to grow into chracters, even if they are charismatic. It's ok.",7
"I knew that this movie would have sucked the day i saw the green alpha romeo driving through my town in the morning, forcing me to change (every morning for a month) my route to work. As usual Michael Bay delivers empty movies full of action. The action is good, the ain't anything else though, you could literally watch the movie in a language you don't understand and wouldn't miss anything important, since all that matters are the boom-booms. Nice boom booms Bay, crazy how people is willing to pay you and your huge crew to make these movies! But it works i guess.",6
"I love this movie. The actors Pankaj Tripathi, Rajkummar Rao are just brilliant in their roles. Overall the movie is masala comedy entertainment which every age group will enjoy. After such a long time I have seen a good comedy movie. I would compare the comic ability of this movie with Golmaal 3",10
"Disappointing and shocked how highly rated this is... storyline, direction is not very good including the CGI.

Hopefully season 2 is much better.

Thankfully they had Owen Wilson on board. Best character in the series ...",5
"""Red Sparrow"" is an Action - Drama movie in which we watch a very famous ballerina be recruited by 'Sparrow School' a Russian intelligence service. Her main weapon is her body and she has to use it in order to succeed in any mission she has to participate. Her first mission is targeting a C.I.A. agent who has some very important connections in Russia.

I liked this movie because it had a very interesting plot and some very intense and action scenes. Despite that, I believe that it didn't reach its potential, due to its duration and mainly because of the direction. Regarding the interpretations, I believe that Jennifer Lawrence who played as Dominika Egorova she was simply amazing and she made a very good performance. Some other interpretations that have to be mentioned were Joel Edgerton's who played as Nate Nash and Matthias Schoenaerts who played as Vanya Egorov. The direction which was made by Francis Lawrence was below average since there wasn't any peak in the movie and despite some plot twists that were making the movie more interesting, the main flow of the movie was being interrupted with boring scenes.

To sum up, I have to say that ""Red Sparrow"" is a nice movie to watch with some very good scenes, some interesting plot twists and some very good interpretations made by its cast. I recommend everyone to watch this movie but first, you have to be prepared for a movie with a long duration and with some boring scenes that will interrupt the action of the movie. If you are prepared for that and you will lower your expectations then I am sure that you are ready to watch it.",6
"This me truly baffles me - 8/10 on IMDB, universal praise, I was so unbelievably excited to watch this.

The first episode was not too bad, I was underwhelmed but it was OK....unfortunately, I found it went completely downhill after that.

I thought it was cheap looking, cliche, confusing, with weak writing and boring characters that I really couldn't warm to, and entire episodes that were literally like watching Hercules Legendary Journeys in the 1990's.

Henry Cavill is really good though, but that's the only thing I found ""above average"" about the season.

Not terrible to be honest, just don't get the insanely high reviews and comparisons with Game of Thrones.",5
"After reading all the raving reviews and watching a few trailers of this movie, i thought this is going to be an interesting movie. However, after watching it, it was a huge let down for me...of course, the concept could be wonderful but the characters were not developed to the level it should be....I feel like i want something more...",3
"The third Annabelle film to appear in the Conjuring universe offers nothing new as this picks up where The Conjuring (2013) left off with The Warrens taking the evil doll to their home and keeping it safely under lock and key. Of course it doesn't stay there for very long as the curiosity of the Warren's babysitter gets the better of her and she stupidly releases it from it's glass case for the doll to awaken more evil spirits.

While Annabelle Comes Home is not as good as Annabelle: Creation (2017) it does offer up a few scares but writer turned director Gary Dauberman plays it safe and gives the audience what they expect. With a story by series creator James Wan this probably would have been a lot more scarier had he helmed this instalment, being in my opinion one of the best directors working in the horror genre today who actually makes his films scary, but this third outing becomes too predicable and smaller in scope and ambition.

For those who enjoy finding hidden references to the other movies in the Conjuring universe there are plenty to uncover here and this is all part of the fun.",5
"I would like to put a 9,5 but there is not the option lol, The plot was excelent, the season 1 was so good, the 2 was good but not like 1, but the third one, was amazing. Needles to say that the cast made their papers perfectly. They took a comic and brought it to real life, almost like The chirstopher nolans Batman trilogy. I mean, it has irreal things, of course, but it is in a real life context, and i personally loved that (sorry if i couldn't explain very well). I personally loved the show: the plots, the characters, fights scenes (oh the fight scenes...), music was very good too; everything was, not perfect, but very very well done. I really rocomend this show for both superherores lovers and casual viewers. (excuse my english)",9
This movie was so fun! It has a great mix of humor and action. And Carnage is pretty scary. This movie rocks!,10
"This is a good show. The gal that plays the main character was not cast well nor written well which makes for a borderline cringe performance. The story is fine. The intro and 1st episode def created suspense and have good pacing.

The reviews scoring this a 9 or 10 are drinking the kool aid. Anything below a 5 and you are prob a hater. It's a solid 7 show. Not great not terrible.

That said I think the casting director should take the L on this show not being great. I feel like they tried to be to on the nose for each character that it's a bit of an eye roll. Super macho dude with mustache, sarcastic ""tough"" girl, blah.",7
"This movie was definitely not what I expected to see. I did not see any trailers for this movie or read any reviews. I just went assuming it was about the Zodiac serial killer.

The movie starts off well with a scene of the first murder mixed in with lightly humorous moments and dialogue. However, the movie takes a turn down an investigative lane that only people with interest in this particular case would love and the rest would just fall asleep.

As for the acting, I can not say much for Jake Gyllenhaal or Robert Downey Jr. because they play roles that I feel wasn't much of a challenge -- they play themselves, especially Downey Jr. in the role of a cracked out alcoholic. But, I was impressed with Mark Ruffalo, as this is easily one of his better performances.

The bottom line is: If you're looking to be entertained with a murder mystery with thrills and suspense... watch something else. This movie is something that (sorry to borrow the phrase) ""Only a mother could love."" As in the writer of the book.",4
"Adult Simba's voice, played by Donald Glover, didn't create a powerful presence like it does in the animation. Pretty mich all of the film was a replication of the animation so the whole strory and character dialogue was predictable. For that reason I found a lot of thw scenes boring to watch. There are also many epic scenes of impressive world environments. What drove me to watch the film was the nostalgia from the time I watched the film as a youngster.",4
"I thought season 1 was great, definitely had me looking forward to another season, but season 2 was basically a train wreck imo, it was just all over the place and definitely not in a good way. I know some people will disagree and can't handle people having their own opinions, but it was just too many things going on and focus was just not there, and the season finale just didn't bring this mess together. I wish I could rate it higher but season 2 is just forgettable at best.",3
"It feels like with every disney show recently the scores have made no sense. I've watched all marvel films and have enjoyed most of them. I've noticed since disney brought it, there has been a obvious change. The quality is not the same. And drifting away from good comic material is very sad to see.. This is pretty much because Stan Lee is not around to put his foot down. Tho maybe that wouldn't even matter at this stage, Disney is a monopoly on entertainment and are destroying the entire space.

This show is average... There's big problems with it. It just gives disney a excuse to take marvel in whatever direction they choose.. by making infinity stones a joke and paper weights? I could write pages on how average or bad the show is when it makes the history of all the other marvel films somewhat irrelevant... half of my score is just for Tom H's acting.. and i feel like many people who are not bots are voting the series up because of the main actor and not even taking into account how sloppy the writing is.

8.9 just makes no sense... It has to be vote tampering through bots that imd-b isnt picking up on.. It should be at around a 7. Each episode when you look at reviews are about half 10's and the other 4-6.. but they are getting ridiculous scores. This is making the site irrelevant. After using it for almost 2 decades.. its sad to see what this site has become.",3
"This a tv series with full of violence, action, vengeance and superpowers. In a world with human and super humans the struggle continues.

The first season of the series was quite exciting, even with the stereotype superheroes. Because this season had a reason for everything and everyone driving towards something. The script has crafted with moderate care, characters had a backstory. Superheroes were clearly abusing their position and power and that is why human started to stand up against them.

But the second season was quite opposite because of the sloppy writing. Most of the superheroes became part of good guys. So there was no extreme reason to go against them or their organization. Even after fulfilling their purposes the main characters keep on going doing extreme things. The writer spend little time to establish a motive for characters and keep creating storylines with new characters which led to nowhere. Also because of the weak script, actors' performances seemed somewhat novice and a bit pitiful to watch.

First season recommended. Second season not recommended.",4
"Dis pointing ""johhny depp"". Don't waste your time to watching this movie in TV also. But VFX is extraordinary and use less.",2
"Production has an incredibly important place to shoot a series or film. Sometimes even a very minimalist story can reach an incredibly successful point after the right production stages. The Witcher series is far from minimalist. The Witcher is one of the best Middle-earth works in the world. Production quality is essential if you want to handle such a topic successfully.

The world that The Witcher goes through is a world with its own rules, races, characters, creatures, beliefs, even if it does not seem too strange to those familiar with fantastic narratives. In particular, the first two chapters carry the risk of being too confusing while reflecting the details of this world to the audience. After the chapters where it is difficult to fully understand which character serves whom and why, the story becomes more beautiful as the other characters gradually increase in the narrative. There are two main characters in the narrative except Geralt. One of them is Ciri, who was advised to find Geralt when her lands were taken over by the enemies. The other is Yennefer, a kind of witch whose aim is to gain as much power as possible. While the goal of these two characters is evident, the fact that Geralt at the center of the narrative does not have a significant motivation due to the character's characteristics causes the story to be thrown from one place to another. However, the story deepens as the characteristics of this character become evident and the dynamics of the world in which events take place gradually emerge. It is the primary factor that gives the dark tone of The Witcher's world that people use their power and material resources to seize land. The dark narrative that expresses the evil within man is supported by the visual language of the series. The visual language, dominated by darkness and shadows, brings The Witcher closer to a gothic horror narrative from time to time when combined with the characteristics of the characters it contains. This dark atmosphere also gains a realistic tone with the violence of the series. The Witcher, one of Netflix's most courageous works to date, relentlessly conveys the mess of the world it tells. It creates a consistent and dark atmosphere thanks to well-captured battle and combat scenes and technical details such as image management and music usage. 9/10",9
"This TV series is amazing. Such a realistic portrayal of the events that unfolded during this disaster. There is so much detail in it. The way that the Russian politicians and media are portrayed appears to be spot-on, trying to cover up the disaster even though it was going to kill thousands of people for hundreds of miles. I'm loving this series, each one is more terrifying than the last. But still can't wait for the next.",8
This might be one of the funniest movies of the year! Knocked up was also funny but this movie was amazing I've seen it twice and i want to see it again and I'm not like that with too many movies. but well worth watching. 10 for me. if you don't like foul language or anything raunchy this movie is definitely not for you. I was actually very surprised when i saw the movie how raunchy it actually was but i loved it. it was definitely not one of those movies that all the funny parts are in the previews. this movie will make you laugh from start to beginning. i definitely recommend seeing this movie as soon as you can and i promise you will talk about this movie and quote it for a long time.,10
"Saw that this show had good reviews (these positive reviews have me questioning if they're fake or not), so I decided to check it out. Turns out, it's just another Twilight series. I kept telling myself that the reviews are good so it must get better. It didn't get better.",2
"I don't think Fargo is either a great or mediocre movie. Almost everyone agrees that the acting is very good and Frances McDormand is simply superb in her role of the pregnant police woman. However, I must say the Fargo story, which is real, is appropriate for a book but not for a movie. I felt very depressed after watching Fargo and honestly cannot understand how some people can watch it more than one time.",7
"Not a bad adaption, but the game was better in every way.

The acting and casting in the game is far superior. Ellie is un-likeable in this TV version, very poor casting of such a key character. She was the hero in the game, funny, lovable, honest, now I find here annoying. The same goes for the casting on Sarah, Triss and Tommy for different reasons.

It seemed so simple to me how to embellish on the game without compromising the story and pacing but the direction taken in the first 4 episodes doesn't do the source material justice. The music in the game was spot on, timed impeccably, on TV it seems out of place. The set design was unbelievable in the game, on TV it's basic and rushed in comparison.

Maybe I can only see the characters in there original light, and within a game you can create a better atmospheric vibe over longer segments, build emotional connections easier over a shared experience but there are plenty movies out there which hit these marks for me and unfortunately this isn't one.

I'll keep watching for sure, but I'm looking forward to LOU Part 3 on the PlayStation more than anymore of this. Maybe a full on animation of the last of us would of been better suited for me.",5
"Godfather Part 2 > Godfather Part 1 mathematically speaking. Of course also then, Godfather Part 1 < Godfather Part 2 when you look at them in chronological order. That is to say that 2 > 1 < 2 and also that 1 < 2 > 1. There's really not much thinking to be done here. Also Cappola makes a pretty nice red wine which is only $15 at my local liquor store.",10
"Kate Winslet is really good in this as she is in everything she does. But they really went overboard with her lack of hygiene. If you are so depressed that you can go days without bathing or washing your hair you should not be allowed to carry a gun as a detective. In fact, most people in this town look dirty and disgusting to the point of being unrealistic. I applaud the writers and director for trying to do something different and make the actors look more like real life characters rather than Hollywood stars but most people in real life do not look like they crawled out from under a rock. The story is good but supporting actors are awful and the police are portrayed as incompetent. I know it is a small town but they really make the cops look like blubbering idiots. Great as a character piece for Kate Winslet but as a police procedure it is poorly written.",1

"Here is the thing I rarely write reviews, but I almost loved this show and feel I need to get it out. If you scrolled through the reviews like I did you will notice almost all the 7+/10 are all from season 1 and I agree. Season 1 is a great season with Wolf (Derek Wilson) stealing the comedic gold. The trio of actors work well together, and the chemistry is hilarious. I laughed almost the entirety of every episode. Season 1 is a hilarious over the top sci-fi raunch fest and I watched the entire season in one evening. The episodes with wolf in the 80's is absolutely comedic gold.

So, I was obviously excited when noticing there was a second season. However, quickly I realized it falls apart, they split up the trio and tell several different storylines that are rather bland and at times boring. They do tie them up in the end, but it feels forced. The characters regress into odd roles and quickly become boring. The first eight episodes could have been condensed into one or two. The plot doesn't really fit and the it felt more of a chore to watch. I laughed maybe a handful of times. The last few episodes it does pull together again when the trio is reunited. There are lines in some of the boring episodes that made me chuckle, but it didn't make me laugh out loud like the first season. The second season does take some of the jokes to a political place, which in the first season made me laugh even though I am conservative, and they were obviously making fun of conservative views. When comedy can make you laugh at yourself it is brilliant. The second season the jokes fell flat and felt forced.

I will probably re-watch season 1 multiple times in my life and show it to other people. Season 2 however is very forgettable. I hope they do something good with season 3.

Season 1 9/10 Season 2 3/10

Overall 6/10",6
"The first two episodes of The Punisher seemed promising but after that it just became clear that this show wasn't my thing at all. I sat through the episodes of the first season though. Is the show about 'awesome' America? Is it about how bad soldiers are treated after they get back from war? Is it about how soldiers love war? Is it about gun laws? Interesting themes for sure and the show picks them up more than Franks revenge (what the show should actually be about, right?) but fails horribly at finding suitable arguments, which leaves you wondering what they actually want to tell you. It has great actors which lets me rate this 5 Stars but plot wise...? The Punisher lacks reasons for action and consequences, character development and reasonable arguments for their 'trying-to-be-political' statements throughout the episodes. It has violence just for the sake of it, without any consequences for the character applying it. Plus the show runners really don't have a clue about medicine. Still can't get over how stupid you have to be to disinfect your hands and then wipe them off on your pants before stitching someone up. And why the heck would you burn a wound you just stitched up?!",5
"This series had great potential, but seems to have lost its heart and direction. Who I thought was the main character (Geralt) Now seems to be a milk toast supporting character. What happened?

The show runners and writers are not good enough to manage so many sub plots. The story is so fragmented it became boring. It's now reduced to the level of Willow and Rings of power.

I've heard all the rumors and rhetoric about Henry Cavill leaving because of the storyline not being true to originals and although I haven't read the original material, it's obvious something is amiss. I'm viewing this without any expectations and still find disappointment in the last two seasons, especially season 3.",3
"Did not care for this movie. Scenes were very jumpy, one to the next, with no explanation of timeline. Not nearly enough story line...just a jumbled together patchwork of scenes. Also, excruciatingly loud. I sat with my fingers plugging my ears for all but a few minutes of the movie.",2

This movie has such a powerful message for women everywhere! The set is amazing and the movie is so funny. The writing is so clever and funny! It made me feel so powerful and validated! I really enjoyed it! Margot Robbie is the perfect Barbie! And Ryan Gosling is the perfect Ken! I feel like the chemistry between them and all of the other Barbies and Kens were great! I loved how there were different type of Barbies in the movie! Being a woman is amazing and powerful and I hate how the world doesn't respect us or take us seriously. There was some slow parts and jokes that didn't land for me but overall it was a great film!,8
"This was well done, but it felt like Deja Vu all over again. Poirot, Dame Agatha, Hardy Boys, Murder She Wrote with a splash of Matlock and Clouseau. Toni Collette was wasted...probably burnt out on family issues after ""Hereditary"". Don Johnson was probably lusting after Ana de Armas,confusing her with Jodi Lynne. Craig was badly miscast. Mickey Rourke would have been more captivating. Jamie Lee Curtis seems always happy if you give her free yogurt. I thought Christopher Plummer died in a suicide pact with Christopher Lee. I want to see Chris Evans in a film where he is taken out by murder hornets. But rent "" Knives Out"". Its better than "" Herbie goes to Monte Carlo"".",3

"Short duration film with a simple A to B journey. I wonder if some scenes were clipped, and therefore I ponder if an unedited version may emerge in coming years. Needless, I still highly enjoyed the ride, even if I felt higher tone of violence would have taken this franchise up a level it deserves. More carnage scenes needed complete with more destruction, horror and bloodlust. And Shriek could have been given much more backstory to her abilities and how this form the Bonnie-style relationship with Kasady while dealing with Carnage in the relationship. Anyway, I look forward to growing symbiote family in coming years and the crossover soon we been all eager for.",7
"Season 3 is very entertaining. Although nothing has topped season 1 (if that were possible); season 3 certainly holds it own and gives us what we love about the series: Eighties nostalgia, cliff hanging horror, and a generally good story. The critical reviews on here have some credence because there are some real cheesy parts. A few episodes are like an eighties movie spoof which doesn't play well with those of us that like the sci-fi thriller that we seek. But the critical reviews are a bit too harsh. Every episode written and directed by the Duffer brothers is great. The filler episodes done by others so far are forgettable. I'd recommend watching it; next season hopefully it will be more sci-fi thriller and less romance killer. P.S. After writing this to be fair if it wasn't for the cheesy romance parts we wouldn't have the laughs either so keep that door 3 inches open and sing it proud Dusty-buns.",7
"This movie took too long to portray a thesis that i am unsure of. I may know what the film was trying to get across, but i don't think its that big of a deal in the year 2001.

I just can't see how people like this movie so damn much. I gave it a 5.",5

"Interesting to see this to be the highest rated martial arts movie on IMDb, which I assume is on the strength of Donnie Yen's performance and the film's overall high production values. Sadly both are wasted on a simplistic good-vs-evil script, which has more in common with Rocky IV than my mental image of Yip Man's life.

The film strikes a similar sour note with me as did Zhang Yimou's Hero, instrumentalizing great film making to rouse nationalistic emotions. If this were a B movie i'd thoroughly enjoy it, but as a high budget blockbuster I'll hold it to higher standards. Ultimately this is a disservice to Yip Man's legacy as well.

Watch this for the martial arts, which are great, but for a more subtle depiction of Japan's occupation of China, look elsewhere.",6
"When I sat down to watch this movie, I was expecting to see a movie that was decent at best. I was very surprised to find how unbelievably bad it was. The plot is non-sensical jibberish. The characters are all one-dimensional, either good-to-the-heart, or bad-to-the-bone, with absolutely no variations. The acting is horrendous, Johnny Depp is like a washed-up rock-star, heavily drugged and very drunk, the entire time. Orlando Bloom is nothing but a simple rehash of the knight in shining armor, if only a bit more easily tolerated. Keira Knightley is just a damsel in distress, pure and simple, nothing else. Something I found ridiculous, was that every other character, even minor characters, mastered sword fighting. The humor is unbelievably childish, at several times it was on the level of the newer Simpsons episodes, which made me cringe more than I believed was possible. All of the CGI effects were very bland, most looked like they could easily have been made at the same mediocre quality several years ago. Why so many people claim this is a great film eludes me. If you ever even consider to sit down and watch this, make sure you keep your expectations very low. Very overrated. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, as it is simply too long, too boring, too bland and too cringe-worthy to be the least bit enjoyable. 3/10",3

"The film had some good special effects and an enjoyable dystopian theme, but it was nothing like as good as it's hyped up to be. Much of the dialogue was incomprensible mumbling, especially by McConaughey, and I eventually had to turn the English subtitles on to see what was being said. The biggest issue with the storyline is that nobody would seriously think of evacuating humanity from Earth under the circumstances depicted. Also, the idea that Earth's atmospheric Oxygen level could drop by any appreciable amount is simple unfeasible, no matter how much we screw up our only home's natural resources and climate. And it's not as if those potential new places for people to live had breathable atmosphere anyway - the crew still had to wear spacesuits all the time there didn't they?.",5

"This guy rehashes similar plot-lines often; this one strays slightly with an attempt at humor and finance, just unsuccessfully. Ten lines, huh? This movie didn't inspire me enough for that, so blah, blah, blah,blah, blah,blah. The new Godzilla movie was pretty good though: decent character involvement, cool fight scenes, and realistic looking monsters made it an enjoyable experience. Also watched the new Penny Dreadful series pilot; it seems like it's going to be good television viewing. There seems to be a decent basis in literature, the characters are interesting, sufficiently creepy mood, and good creature make-up. So check out these other options rather than wasting your time on Wolf of Wall Street.",3
"I love Sci-Fi, this film is stupid. The main character lacks on, the action isn't so great, and I've heard the sequels sucked. So, no go for this. It wasn't really R rated material from what I remember. Not ultra violent like Quintin Taliento but probably soft R. Still, not my cup of tea.",2
"Captain America Civil war is the best Marvel movie to date. With an incredible story, action, emotions, fantastic performance and great direction.

Marvel chose the perfect actor to portray the great king of Wakanda. But who really was the cherry on the cake was what Tom Holland. This guy is the perfect Peter Parker and Spider-Man with his great humor, which all fans were waiting. Anyway This film is a masterpiece, thanks to the Brothers Russo, now we can say that Avengers Infinity War part 1 and 2 is in good hands.",10
"I have not read the book, but I really enjoyed Bird Box and did find myself at the edge of my seat for most of the film. The back and forth between present and past were well spaced and edited, the music was great and the lack of gore (for a horror film) was refreshing.

Yes, the story line is nothing original in itself. Many a horror film has been made with similar themes, i.e. don't listen, don't make a noise (no, it's not 'A Quiet Place' rip-off), don't switch off the lights, etc etc. However, the story was well executed and well acted. Sandra Bullock was great and supported by fab performances from John Malkovich, Tom Hollander and others. The child actors in particular were great.

Unlike others, I liked the fact that there was no explanations as to the origins of the monster, what it looked like or why it arrived on earth. Not every film has to have neat little bows everywhere unlike most of the rubbish, brainless junk the Hollywood movie machine churns out yearly.

As a side note, how amazing does Sandra Bullock look at over 54!",7
"Impossible to believe that the second movie could be as engaging as the first. The casting of young Don Vito was outstanding, with DeNiro portraying the mannerisms to a magnificent performance.

One of the outstanding movies of our lifetime.",10
"The first Captain America film was a lot of fun, and 'Winter Soldier', taking a bigger, bolder and darker approach while not forgetting the entertainment value, was even better.

'Civil War' is not quite as good as 'Winter Soldier' but it's a little better than the first film, in my opinion. It may not be quite the spectacular extravaganza that this reviewer was expecting from reading the critics' reviews, but it is very solid fun still, great entertainment and in the top end of Marvel's output even with its faults.

Granted, 'Civil War' is not perfect, so the detractors can think again before accusing me of being someone paid to write a positive review. This is actually somebody who saw the film, enjoyed it thoroughly but realises that it has flaws. Is anybody going to point out to Marvel detractors that people can enjoy Marvel's films without feeling like it's a criminal offence to and have been giving good reasons for doing so, so parroting out ridiculous and easily disproven conspiracy theories that have often come close to violating terms and conditions is only making them look like the idiots and the ignoramuses? Sorry to point out that irrelevant note, but this attitude keeps cropping up in the increasing user and critical condescension wave that IMDb is facing, and IMDb who seem shockingly oblivious to it should come down harder on it.

As with what was not quite right with 'Civil War', there is an over-stuffed and occasionally under-cooked feel at times. 'Civil War' has many subplots and characters, and while actually it deals with a vast majority of the subplots and characters are dealt with incredibly well there are a few subplots that appear (a couple of them abruptly introduced as well) and not enough is done with them, as far as being completely forgotten about after ten minutes or being rushed through to get to the next one. Zemo's story is lost within everything else and would have fared better within a film all on its own, because the potential was there. A vast majority of the characters are all interesting with engaging, in-depth personalities, but War Machine is somewhat side-lined, while one appreciates the complexity given to Zemo there was the sense that he wasn't as completely crucial to the main story as he could have been and while Spiderman really grows on you his entrance is a bit clumsily done and makes one think does he really belong?

However, 'Civil War' also does a huge amount right. It looks amazing for a start, the gritty but audacious look of 'Winter Soldier' makes a welcome return while the cinematography is stylish, the editing crisp (if slightly and occasionally confused in the airport action sequence) and the special effects as extravagant as they should, helped by thunderously authentic sound. Despite really not being a fan of shaky cam usually, it is not abused here, doesn't cause visual discomfort and gave certain scenes even more raw tension than they already had. The music again has much rousing excitement and haunting intensity while being no less memorable than the music in the previous two outings.

The action sequences in 'Civil War' are strong too. The opening sequence starts the film with a bang, with its tragic consequences being genuinely affecting, while the airport scene is tense, enormous fun and thrilling (though because with so much going on, the camera/editing does at times struggle to keep up). Best of all is the climax, which had much more intensity and was surprisingly rich in conflict and emotion. The direction is astute and deftly balances all the different conflicts and tone shifts, while the script is very smartly written with the light-hearted moments like with Spiderman and Ant-Man being witty and hilarious while not once being at odds with the more thought-provoking and serious elements (which never get bogged down in too much talk). The story, while a bit over-stuffed and under-cooked in places, is never dull, never feels too stretched or thin, always makes sense (even with parts that needed more development) and is endlessly riveting right up to the end, which is an achievement for a two and a half hour film with this much going on. Likewise, while some characters are more interesting than others (which is standard for any film with a cast as large as this), the characters are very intriguingly and engagingly written with distinct personalities and realism.

There are great performances across the board, with the one oddity being Marisa Tomei as Aunt May, not a big role but not small enough to give the impression that Tomei in age and manner did not fit the character. Much of the film however is dominated by Robert Downey Jnr and Chris Evans, both of whom are note-perfect as Iron Man and Captain America. Elizabeth Olsen is flawed but sympathetic, Scarlett Johansson is wonderfully fearless, Paul Rudd is a breath of fresh air with his introduction actually feeling like a character who belongs, Tom Holland brings endearing enthusiasm to Spiderman, Paul Bettany and Sebastian Stan are authoritative presences, Daniel Bruhl has the right degree of arrogance and is able to convey menace while only doing as little as a whisper and Chadwick Boseman characterises Black Panther's wounded pride with dignity and gravitas.

Overall, very solid fun if just missing out on being the spectacular extravaganza expected. 8/10 Bethany Cox",8
"All these super low star reviews have the same thing in common- some BS political agenda, or some whiny reason why this isn't as good as the original. Ignore these zealots, this is a really fun, entertaining, and well-produced show.",9
"Soooooo Moonlight won some Oscars......then I watched it believing it was going to make feel something for the characters or the situation the characters were in BUT I DiD NoT FeeL a THiNG The lead character barely talks - and hes trapped in a situation that has been covered bya huge number of other films - namely poor black kid must overcome poverty and learn and grow in a cruel world...oh and hes gay. So therewas nothing really unique going on. It was just boring. The father figure in the film seemed way to nice to be real - I half expected him to a child abuser. Did not really get him at all? The 3 parts of the film also seemed dis-jointed, especially the last act...I did not know what was going on....so I suppose it was #Oscars so Black this year to balance #Oscars so White last year, now we are all happy again can the Oscars get back to awarding movies that deserve it instead on pandering to the black community",2
"Whilst this film has undoubted merits and some very funny moments it is the first time in 35 years of going to the movies I wanted a film to end I could see no real point to the film and as a travelogue for Tokyo it put me off completely sorry, but there you are",2
"The Wachowski brothers have created one of the most interesting sci-fi worlds. Neo (Keanu Reeves) is a computer hacker who has a nagging intuition that the world is wrong. He is literally Alice who goes down the rabbit hole and discovers that his world is actually a Wonderland. He combines Lewis Carroll with a Hong Kong kung fu wire and a cape on his back. They invent bullet time and increase the coolness of shootouts.

This story is borrowed from many different sources. The machines took over. The world is a computer construct. People fight with the help of computer avatars. All these are ideas that have been implemented before. The Wachowskis have woven everything together into a functional tapestry.

But, ultimately, the cool visuals make this movie unique. With a relatively smaller budget, the cost of production is incredible. They squeezed all the magic of cinema out of all the visual and computer effects.",5
This franchise keeps going downhill. I love Harry Potter and thought the first Fantastic Beasts was okay. The editing of this movie was very choppy. The character motivation was suspect. The plot a big mess. Not impressed and disappointing overall.,5
"By staggering coincidence after seeing 12 YEARS A SLAVE which documented life as a slave in 19th Century America the next film I saw was A MOST VIOLENT YEAR which chronicles life as immigrant in 20th Century America . I say staggering coincidence but 12 YEARS is a true story where A MOST VIOLENT YEAR is a fictional drama but they're both gloomy films that sees literal outsiders as protagonists in the dark side of America

The setting is New York City 1981 and the title comes from the fact 1981 was a peak year for crime in NYC . New York has a certain mystique for outsiders , probably down to the fact that many of the more distinctive and downbeat film makers such as Lumet and Scorsese have set their films there ? There is the perception that as soon as you get off at a bus stop in New York the first person you're going to meet is a murderer , a rapist , a mugger or some deranged vigilante to wants to cleanse the streets like a rain by torturing and executing criminal scum . The NYPD are useless at catching criminals down to the fact that the only people they arrest are prostitutes wearing feather boas .

That's not to say A MOST VIOLENT YEAR is a vigilante movie . It's a dark crime drama where the emphasis is on drama . Emphasis on dark too because what happens is characters stand around in dark rooms speaking gritty dialogue . No doubt this is deliberate on the part of director JC Chandor who has made a film that technically looks like it was made in 1981 . You could imagine this starring Robet DeNiro and Robert Duvall in the last days of the New Hollywood era . It's not brilliant but it's an engaging enough film with a couple of unexpected plot turns",7
Many people discard the quality of animations simply because they believe it is simply unrealistic. This show is gripping and could be very emotional if bumped up a bit on the age rating. That being said it is targeted at an 'any age' audience and still found it thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining to watch. I wish the series had lasted longer as the film didn't do the series justice. Hope they can improve the quality of the films provided the go ahead with a second. I have high regards for the next series 'The Legend of Korra' Just about to start Book 2 and although it is not as simple as TLoA it still has the quality that these writers express. Definitely worth anyones time for a watch!,10
"One-punch man starts with an intriguing twist on the shounen genre of anime in the first episode but after that it does nothing with it. The main joke of the show is repeated over the entire show while only being funny the first 2-3 times. The main character Saitama has no likable or distinct characteristics apart from the fact that he is simple (in the head) and bald. The animation is fantastic which really shows in the fight scenes. Most of the musical tracks aren't very impressive except its opening theme titled The Hero. In my opinion the shown best asset is its varied and creative in both design and personalities side characters which saved this show from me giving it a 3 star rating too bad the show never does anything decent with them apart from put them in ""cool fights"". This is a gag series based around a huge joke (which explains the stereotypical universe) and should be viewed as such but from a story perspective it does not hold up in any way as it has no story,continuity,character development,advancement of the non-existent plot or personality in any of the characters beyond what you see on the surface.",4
"...Alfred Hitchcock, The X-files, or Fringe. I cannot add too much to all the other stellar reviews. This series popped up on Netflix and, after the first wild & crazy episode, I binged. Writing: incredible! The scripts are in the realm of J.J. Abrams quality with serious development evident and fine tuning obvious; crafted. Charlie Brooker is genius. Directing: the type of emotion and passion pulled from every single actor is just incredible; camera work seamless. Consider that each of the original six episodes were directed uniquely, the result across the series is a real achievement. Acting: take episode one's PM: Rory Kinnear playing the part of Michael Callow. He hit the mark so fantastically, and on top of that the supporting cast in that same episode all conveyed such incredible feeling. Empathy was basically thrown at you through their eyes - extras included. There were so many great performances, but one in particular by Lenora Crichlow as Victoria Skillane in episode six, deserves mention. As the primary character with complete focus throughout, her efforts were Emmy worthy. Summary: so surprisingly good I was truly blown away. A series like this does not come about often. I hope you enjoy it as much as so many others have.",9
"Well 1st of all, the only spoiler in this movie is that it is simply opposite of what Tarantino movies have been till date...not seen such a meaningless and aimless movie in a very long time. So, anyone trying to be over smart movie critic with their comments like ""A tarantino masterpiece"" or ""Not for everyone"" and blah blah, just ask them the motto of this blunt movie....apart from buttering Tarantino and showing off their wannabe critic's talents, they won't be able to utter a single concrete explanation for this dump.

Watch it only if want to watch another movie making inside a movie and getting ur head busted by boredom. Avoid it particularly, if you are going with ambition of gaining some knowledge about Charles Manson, his hippie gang and their animosity with Sharon Tate etc. coz there is none.

2 stars only for Brad Pitt....plus I am still trying to figure out WTH was Sharon Tate doing in this movie as neighbor to Rick Dalton.",2
I feel like it took a few episodes to get going but when it got going I really enjoyed it. I would've loved it if there was more episodes in a season or the episodes were slightly longer. It's definitely one of the best English Tv shows I've ever watched.,7
Overall the new season was better than the formers in terms of suspense and hangups. But the ending somehow felt the same as that of S2. There are no new revelations about the plot talking about the Russians and why they opened the gate again. The ending was a bit disappointing.,9
"""Stranger things"" is definitely one of the best TV series in its genre!

High-quality cast, a lot of nostalgic and not only references, atmospheric and beautifully furnished locations, and of course an interesting idea that we were able to implement in all respects. The characters change and can give a new impression of themselves in each season.

In the first season, they will only spin the intrigue and introduce the extermination characters. However, this is the most atmospheric and best season for me!

In the second season, there will already be more scale and thriller, which is logical. And it still looks great. The story does not stand still - and this is the main thing for the series The third season is the brightest and most glamorous among all four. There is a special atmosphere in it, different from the original one. And, perhaps, this is my least favorite season, but nevertheless it cannot be denied that it is addictive and interesting. Some people may like the innovations, while others may not. There's nothing can do about it And the last season 4, the darkest of all, which can be called the beginning of the finale. The season itself is a direct reference to the horrors of the 80s-90s. The most important events for the plot will take place. And in general, the season could have been the best in the show - however, it was prevented by a lot of unnecessary scenes that could have been dispensed with.

The final fifth season has not yet been released, but according to known information, we can expect it before 2025. Well, we hope that he will not disappoint, but only please.",9
Series are satisfying. First is the best one because of originality but if you like supernatural and mystery see it all. Other aspects of fabula are also good.,7
"I was really excited for the series, but the more I watch the less I like. Let's start with the bad writing and cheesy dialog, something as huge as this series should be more well written and thoughted. The time confusion... In the first couple of episodes there are two stories going at what seems to be on the same time line... Only to appear later on that they're not. Characters... I hate when the entire show is build around one character only, and the only interesting character is the Witcher himself. The CGI could've been better honestly. In general it felt cheap. And there is no need to compare it to GOT, it's completely different genre, it has way more fantasy and not so well oriented.",6
"*a few spoilers below* I remember seeing this movie at a theater when it was first released. I was very excited and eager to see it as I had heard a lot of positive ""buzz"" about it. I was very disappointed for many reasons including: 1. Glorification of violence - all the ""cool characters are cold blooded murderers, drug abusers or sadists. I cannot identify or become emotionally involved with these type of characters. I didn't care if any of the main characters lived or died. In fact I would have preferred if they all died in the end because they were all terrible excuses for humans. 2. Attempting to mix realistic violence with humor. In the scene where the guy was accidentally shot in the back seat of the car, a few people around me laughed. Others gasped that someone would laugh. I will never forget the guy in the theater sitting behind me saying out loud ""wait, that's funny right? Isn't that supposed to be funny"" Many action films have cartoonish violence - it's understood that the violence is farcical. This movie seemed to be saying murder and rape are funny and cool. 3. The scene with the gimp was way over the top, not necessary, and sadistic. Again, is this supposed to be amusing and entertaining? 4. The dialog seemed to be random and unconnected and without purpose. People cite lines about McRoyal with cheese like it is profound. Is it me, am I missing something? 5. You have to completely suspend your disbelief at the coincidences that occur. A guy is driving on a random street and happens to pull right up next to the guy trying to kill him?

I am at a loss as to why this movie is rater so high. It had some snappy editing, and a few genuinely humorous moments. But is was a film about nothing but a fictionalized underbelly of society.",2
"Well from the trailer you can expect that this is a different kind of movie what bollywood usually make and after watching it , I can finally say the Old SRK which we used to Love is BACK. The movie has strong script and well directed , the locations, the Action, the Drama is perfect.SRk acted brilliantly , and truly deserve the around of applause, He performed both roles awesomely without any error. His dialogue as Gaurav fetch the hearts of the audience. It is a Dark movie in which the Fan (Gaurav ) can do anything for his idol (Aryan),but things don't go well as planned. Well I am not leaving any spoilers for you guys so go watch it, A must watch movie of every Srk and Hindi movie fan. 10/10",10
"What were the writers on?!!! Drivel in gigantic, cinematography marshmallow form of noise mayhem, visual effects which quite frankly the popcorn was the highlight.",4
"It isn't as good as the first film, but ""Iron Man 2"" offers a lot of exciting action sequences for the audience, an interesting villain in Whiplash (Mickey Rourke), and the introduction of characters that would play a pivotal role in the broader Marvel franchise (Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, and Don Cheadle (Rhodey was previously played by Terrence Howard in the first film).

The plot is all over the place: partially an ""Iron Man"" sequel and partially a set up for ""The Avengers"" that would follow two years later. As such there are many instances where it seems like there are too many plot threads going around and the pacing of the film flashes around like a pinball. It's not necessarily a bad thing, as the audience is rarely left with a dull or uninteresting moment; but because of its bloated cast and its 125 minute runtime, we aren't really given much room for character development. Whiplash, sadly, could have been remembered as one of the most iconic Marvel villains, but there are very few scenes in which him and Tony Stark are paired together and he only truly begins his villainous scheme in the last 40 minutes of the film.

It's important for its introduction of more and more things to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it disappoints slightly as it really could have fleshed out the motivation of Whiplash and the inner demons of Tony Stark better. Great special effects and good performances. It's obviously a crucial piece of the MCU pie and thus you won't be left too badly burnt on your road to better constructed and more entertaining films.",7
"Take four parts of Tarkovksy's Stalker, four parts of Roadside Picnic by the Strugatsky brothers, two parts of H.P. Lovecraft's The Colour from Space and mix thoroughly, add a few pinches of Tarkovsky's Solaris to spice, and garnish with a dash of the psychedelic ending of Kubrick's 2001. Serve with a generous helping of ""Hey we're all highly trained professionals, let's all panic and do really stupid things"" from Ridley Scott's Prometheus and VOILA you have a highly unoriginal cinematic feast called Annihilation, that's guaranteed to give anyone who is familiar with the individual ingredients severe indigestion.

WTF? Why not just do a modern adaptation of Roadside Picnic rather than this plagiaristic ""Homage?"" I'm sure Tarkovsky purists would be mortified at the thought of Hollywood re-making Tarkovsky again (George Clooney in Solaris anyone? Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Stalker! Just yanking ya chain Tarkovsky fans, don't hate on me). There's no need to re-make Tarkovsky's Stalker as it was only very loosely based on Roadside Picnic which was a far more traditional science fiction tale than Tarkovsky's metaphysical, existential, philosophical exploration. According to Tarkovsky, the only things the film has in common with the source novella are the Stalker and the Zone (although the Stalker's wife and mutant daughter also feature in both).

The dangers posed by the temporal and physical anomalies in the Zone as depicted in Roadside Picnic are perfect fare for a Hollywood Sci-Fi/Horror adaptation: The Meat Grinder, the Hell Slime, the mutated flora and the post-apocalyptic qualities of the Zone and everyday life after the ""Visitation"" (it even briefly features an appearance by the living dead, though it is not a ""Zombie"" tale by any means). With a good screenwriter and a good director this could be an intelligent, thought-provoking, existentialist sci-fi-horror. Film-makers like David Cronenberg (is he even still directing?), or David Lynch come to mind. Based on Eraserhead, David Lynch would be a perfect fit for interpreting the post-industrial wasteland feel of the novella and the Tarkovsky film adaptation.

Anyway I digress, for anyone unfamiliar with the above ingredients, taking Annihilation as its own entity, it is still ultimately a very unsatisfying film. There are a few effective scares and eerie scenes with the mutations, but there are too many lapses in logic for my taste, and I just find Natalie Portman's acting bland and unconvincing. I don't think she is good enough to carry a film as the lead (I didn't mind Black Swan though I thought she was weak in the role). Also I don't think Alex Garland is that good a screenwriter, admittedly I enjoyed 28 Days Later and Dredd but I have been very underwhelmed by everything else he's done. As I understand this film is adapted from a series of novels, I assume the film-makers expected to produce sequels though it seems this was a box office bomb so that probably won't eventuate.",2

"Now You See Me might have the most misleading trailers of all-time. The previews make you think that story follow the four magicians, played by Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, and Dave Franco. However, the characters with the most screen time are actually an FBI agent played by Mark Ruffalo, an interpol agent played by Melanie Laurent, and a washed up magician played by Morgan Freeman. Guess what? I didn't know any of those actors were even in the movie. The movie also didn't seem to have an identity. It constantly jumped back and forth between magic not being real and then certain things not being possible without magic. This constant uncertainty from the film's perspective created a lazy feeling in the script. As for the individual characters, Woody was hilarious, Isla was absolutely gorgeous, and Eisenberg was, well, the same character he always is. Which reminds me, can we stop calling Jesse Eisenberg a great actor? The kid plays the exact same role every single time and that's who he is in real life. He isn't ""acting"", he's just playing himself in different situations. Back to the movie, it had decent plot development but with so many characters involved, none of them were really fleshed out properly. Lastly, it had the typical twist in the end that's become almost clichéd where it wasn't written into the story well but just forced on the viewer. All-in-all, if you want to be mildly entertained with over-the-top magic tricks and a chaotic story and then toss in a romance for no reason, this is the movie for you.",4
"""Only Murders in the Building"" is a new comedic mystery series on Hulu that has gained a lot of attention, thanks in large part to its star-studded cast. The show follows three neighbors in a New York City apartment building who bond over their love of true crime podcasts and become amateur sleuths after a murder occurs in their own building. The premise is intriguing and has the potential to be a lot of fun, but the execution falls short in several key areas.

First and foremost, it must be said that Steve Martin and Martin Short are comedic geniuses. They bring their trademark humor and chemistry to their roles as Charles-Haden Savage and Oliver Putnam, respectively, and are easily the highlights of the show. Their banter and one-liners are a joy to watch and provide many of the show's funniest moments. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Selena Gomez, who plays Mabel Mora, the third member of the trio.

Gomez's acting leaves a lot to be desired. While she has improved over the years, her performance in ""Only Murders in the Building"" is often wooden and lacks the natural charisma of her co-stars. She struggles to keep up with Martin and Short's comedic timing and falls flat in several key scenes. It's clear that she's trying her best, but the contrast between her performance and that of Martin and Short is stark.

The direction of the show is solid, with a clear vision and style that sets it apart from other comedies. Director Jamie Babbit infuses the show with a sense of whimsy that suits the offbeat premise, and the show's visuals are often striking. The use of split screens and other stylistic flourishes adds to the show's charm and helps to keep things visually interesting.

The acting of the supporting cast is also good, with standout performances from Nathan Lane as a washed-up actor and Amy Ryan as a grieving widow. Each of the characters in the show is given a distinct personality and backstory, which helps to flesh out the world and make it feel lived-in.

The story itself is entertaining, with plenty of twists and turns to keep the audience guessing. The show's central mystery is intriguing, and the way it slowly unfolds over the course of the season is well done. The show also delves into themes of loneliness, friendship, and obsession, which adds depth to the characters and makes the stakes feel higher.

However, the story does have some noticeable plot holes that are hard to ignore. Several key developments feel contrived and lack the necessary setup to make them feel believable. The show also relies heavily on coincidences to move the plot forward, which can be frustrating for viewers looking for a more cohesive narrative.

Overall, ""Only Murders in the Building"" is a mediocre show that falls short of its potential. While Martin and Short are comedic powerhouses, Gomez's performance leaves a lot to be desired. The direction and supporting cast are solid, and the story is entertaining, but the plot holes are hard to ignore. Despite its flaws, the show may still be worth checking out for fans of the cast or the mystery genre. However, viewers looking for a standout comedy or mystery may be disappointed.",6

"It's been a while since i don't sympathize with Disney. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate some great things they have created. But that's not the case with Live Action remakes. At least I found Aladdin enjoyable, and what I liked the most is that they knew there were things that work for cartoons and not for live action, and vice-versa. Lion King is all the same: same songs, same story fluency, same dialog, even same f** jokes. Great CGI wasted for a soulless money thirst production. If it has to bee funny, if it has to be tense, you can't feel that because they didn't do what Aladdin at least tried: adapt some scenes for the big screen.

"A Shahrukh Khan movie sans songs,item-dance,skin-show,romantic dialogues or unwanted masala that marks the comeback of 'stellar' actor that he is - that's micro-review of Maneesh Sharma's 'Fan' for you! With this movie that's poles apart from the likes of Dilwale and Happy New Year,the 50 year old actor once again proves that he's still capable of doing wonders with his acting prowess and producing brilliant roles out of his comfort zone with ease and perfection.May it be the heavily obsessed fan Gaurav Chandna that reminds of iconic yesteryear characters like 'Rahul' from Darr or the bollywood superstar Aryan Khanna that feels more like a cinematic version of himself,the 'Baadshah Of Bollywood' nails it with perfection and amazes with his flexibility in handling two characters that are diametrically opposite of the other.

The love or more appropriately 'obsession' of Gaurav towards Aryan Khanna was established brilliantly by director Maneesh Sharma and the first hour was breezy with a special mention to the impressive introduction sequence that's filled with well-written dialogues like ''Woh Sirf Star Nahi,Duniya Hain Meri""(Translated as 'He's Not Just A Star,But My World').

On the negative side,Maneesh lost the grip in narration once the the cat and mouse chase between fan and his star commenced and the second half couldn't match the thrills that the first hour offered.Something that looked solidly realistic and gripping gave way for cinematic liberties and the abundance of too many sequences that defy logic spoiled what could have been one among the best thrillers ever to comeout from Bollywood.

The storyline has few similarities with yesteryear films like the Robert De Niro starrer Fan(1996),but the screenplay is original and different from the western counterparts.At 138 minutes even without songs and other masala,the movie felt too lengthy and effective trimming could have added to the pace of the movie,particularly towards the second half.Dialogues by Sharat Khatariya were touching and a notable aspect of the narration.

The whole movie belongs to SRK and it is his brilliance in the portrayal of Gaurav Chandna and Aryan Khanna that manages to cover-up all the glorious loopholes in the half-baked screenplay written by Habib Faisal.The willingness to include negative shade to the character Aryan Khanna that resembles his real-life persona deserves a special mention.There are only few notable supporting characters and they did their part well.

Surprisingly there aren't any songs in the movie,but the exclusion isn't justified as the movie is still lengthy at around 138 minutes.The background score by Andrea Guerra was adequate.Cinematography by Manu Anand was impressive,especially during the chase sequences that was shot overseas.Editing by Namrata Rao could have been much better as there were quiet a large number of unwanted sequences that resulted in lags particularly towards the second half.

Overall,Fan is a decent thriller that's saved big time by a brilliant act by Shahrukh Khan.

Verdict::The lazy narration,application of too many cinematic liberties towards the second half and of course,the lack of usual masala elements may prevent 'Fan' from making big numbers at the bollywood box office,but nevertheless its a daring attempt from the team that inspires one to make an identity of his own rather than blindly following someone in the name of fandom.Watch it if you love SRK,the actor!",6
Plot of this movie doesn't make any sense! Waste of 2 hours.. Sorry Chris!,1
"Much loved movie by IMDB users, but I am baffled as to why. Much of the dialogue felt like improvisation. There are no characters remotely likeable. The underlying concept that musicians play better under duress is ridiculous... and that the best musicians became that way as a result of being traumatised is absurd. I don't think Jimi Hendrix rolled out those licks in a state of mind of high tension.",3
"What a breath of fresh air for the superhero genre! Wow! Every single character was cast perfectly. Incredible cinematography, production value, and the WRITING! AHH! It's so nice to have great writing with so much heart; it's something Disney/Marvel and DC doesn't do anymore. What a pleasure to watch this! Can't wait for season 2.

Also--I don't think I've hated a character as much as I hated Cha-Cha in a long, long time. Incredible performances.",9
"How? How did it do that? Oh yeah because the oscars have been rigged for years that's how.

Bad acting and a bad script with too many plot holes and chunks of total boredom.

If you liked it then good for you. If you're pretending to like it just to seem like you ""get it"" then you are only lying to yourself.",2
"The new season feels like they just phoned it in. They switched to half hour shows. Steve Martin already said this last acting gig, and you can tell he just wanted to get it over with. Selena Gomez's Debbie downer attitude makes watching her painful. Martin Short's carries the show on his shoulders, which is the only reason I'll each anymore. They really had a good thing going, but this second season is boring and has a nonsensical plot. I literally laughed out loud during season 1. They just couldn't recreate the chemistry between the characters from season 1.",1
"WHAT IF this show was never made?

Answer: I would be happier.

For some reason I have to add a bunch of characters so let me just say that I believe some episodes were good like Doctor Strange's and King T'Challa as Star-Lord and the character of Captain Carter was great. But, the episodes like Thor being a party guy was the worst animated thing I have ever seen...... besides Turning Red and I haven't even watched it. Hahahaha Good one.",4
"This film is a beautifully made anti-Soviet and anti-Russian propaganda. How cost the lie? You can see the cost of this HBO Series to understand how much. 20% of the film is true facts and 80% hypocritical lies. The art of the producers is how the true facts are subtly woven into the web of lies. People who have never seen documentary films about this catastrophe will never be able to determine this fact.

Some facts - Legasov was not a physicist, he was a chemist! At that time, the Soviet Union was dry law and therefore no one could give a soldier or other worked people the vodka! Legasov's report at the IAEA was never challenged by anyone until now.

Scherbina was an engineer by education, she was in charge of the energy sector of the Soviet industry and therefore knew the structure of the nuclear power plant well.

Both Shcherbina and Legasov were communists (they were members of the Communist Party), and also were the elite of Soviet society, and therefore, as shown in the film, they could not communicate disrespectfully among themselves. Scientists in Soviet society greatly respected scientists.

Legasov and Shcherbina did not attend the trial and therefore did not reveal any ""truth"".

""The bridge of death"" - that was what the locals called him before the explosion, because a motorcyclist died in this place several years ago. And it was just a local story. Since the explosion occurred at 2 am, no one came to the bridge, everyone was asleep !!!!

Check this facts himself and know how cost the lie.",1
"I'll be quick on this review. it's funny how people on here give this movie 8 out of 10 stars or say it's the best super hero movie they have seen.The Avengers movie came out in 2012. This movie came out in 2015.This is the Same Exact Formula and Sequences from the First Avenger movie!! A bad guy appears or comes to Earth,he wants to destroy Earth, The Avengers find out about him, the Avengers fight him and lose the first fight,they then regroup and fight not just the bad guy but a bunch of faceless henchmen and they win, Hooray!! And then while you are eating your popcorn near brain dead , The Hulk fights one of the Avengers- Not the bad guy---and tears up something .It really shows people will pay to see anything and there are no more writers or story creators in Hollywood.I can't believe Captain America the Winter Soldier was better than this .",3
"Call me delusional. Call me a sensationalist. Call me a lunatic.

Nothing will stop me from hyperbolising this masterpiece. When I die, I want a copy of this movie to be cremated alongside me to be watched in my afterlife.

This movie absolutely epitomises how slept upon Tamil cinema truly is. If this was released in English, it would gross a copious amount of money, gain numerous accolades and be stored in a time capsule to be viewed by future generations. It is a hallmark of the talent that is being encouraged in the industry right now and I commend those who back such brilliant minds and favour them over the recycled ""mass-era"" malarkey.

The movie does a crafty job of building up a likeable character in Arun, a young lad with the enthusiasm to achieve great heights paired with a healthy will to serve. He is not scared to explore his boundaries and think outside the box. He is willing to take chances that nobody else would take and believe in himself when nobody else believes him. His inquisitiveness is his gift but it leads to despicable uncoverings, one that would be taboo in cinema 10 years ago. This character is almost at a parallel with Ram - he is willing to push boundaries.

Special mention to the BGM producers and everybody involved in the sound department. I don't have superlatives to explain how well they have done. From my memory, I can't remember a movie with a such a significant role in enhancing/potentiating the emotion of the movie.

This is not only South Indian cinema. This is Indian cinema. Wake up Hollywood. India is in town.",10
A decent show that can be watched by the whole family. Which in this day and age is a challenge.,9
"This critically-acclaimed and much-loved iconic movie of the 1970s, is, in my opinion, over-rated. Yes, it employs sophisticated cinematic techniques, yes the now award-winning actors gave superb performances early in their careers, but in the end Travis Bickle, the protagonist of the film, remains an enigma and the message of the film, to my mind, muddled.",6
"THe best marvel movie. THis movie is a combo of politics, action and emotions.I simply love it. Marvelous job by directors Anthony and Joe Russo . The story is nice . CGI is great . A solid performance by all the actors. Tom Holland as spider man is ultimate. Screenplay is also good. Chadwick as T'Challa nails it. This movie is not gonna disappoint you. One of the best movie I saw in my life. Good job Marvel. Civil war is better than the winter soldier an the avengers . Everyone should watch this movie. With this movie the expectations for avengers infinity war rises. Cinematography in civil war is good. This movie is the starting of the phase 3 which I bet is gonna be better than phase 1 and 2.",10
These movies are starting to get old and predictable. I did not enjoyed this enough like the past tons of films. The MCU needs a break and I need a break either.,4
"The combination Fishburne/Mikkelsen together with a pre-RedDragon-story sounds really convincing, complex, explanatory. Cast, making and overall picture and effects (if one may say so) seems to put the scores somewhere around the tops of the tops. But in my opinion, it's not. The plot so far (S01-Episode 2) does not only lack on tension, deepness and the thrill of ""the human flesh and the story on canibalism"", it mererly seems as a strange copy of the CSI wherever story. There is simply no story other than: how strange the killings are and how twisted the protagonist feels. The usual suspects are found so fast, that it's killing the whole credibility. It's therefore not the center of the story. But there is no other content, than some strange killings and occasional meetings with Lecter... Fishburne and Mikkelsen are two too big-shots, Hugh Dancy plays the twisted protagonist Special Agnet solving the cases - but falls short in between the other characters. I already feel bored, and my question already is: is that all, folks?

So, after S01, fourth Episode of epic history repeating (the same in other colors over and over and over again) i dropped out. Hardly seen something horribly more boring, than this. May you waste your time.",2
"Thanks to Netflix I stumbled onto this series and to call this binge worthy is an understatement. This show and the audience benefits from excellent acting by Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman and others as well as top notch writing, the audience (at least this one) is pulled in from the start and is fixated until the end. Like Luther, the BBC has given worldwide TV watching a gift.",9
"This movie had everything to be great, but somehow it feels something is missing...",6
"This is a wonderful show that everyone should watch, full of deep lore, amazing world building, and absolutely astounding characters and plot.",10
"I going to start this review like this. I would give this movie a 1 or zero, but for the special effects ,I'll give it a 2 or 3. This is what movie goers get now.Since the Cup Cake Avengers earned half a billon dollars off pure fluff and slapstick comedy , Hollywood and its nerd script writers will continue to release and alter popular novel, comic books, or even movies from the past. I walked away from this movie like WTF did I just watch? Disney has bought Marvel? well. This movie along with the Avengers 2 is going to be the norm. I hope fans don't get their hopes up for Star Wars , there's probably going to be a musical in it and Mickey Mouse is going to have a quick cameo in it along with Justin Biever playing a new Jedi. I'm done with Marvel Cupcake movies , I plan to see The Man of Steel , but seeing reviews on that I'm becoming hesitant.",2
"Oh Disney why do you do these things to yourself. There was just no emotion, in the CGI, the actors voices, even the musical score felt soulless. There was just something missing that the animated version gave, and with Disney not looking to do any future animated films this feels like the beginning of the end for timeless classics",4
Childish which is ok if it's done probably but it wasn't i hate how instead of focusing on the show they try to brainwashed teenagers,5
"Tobey Maguire returns in the dual role of awkward adolescent Peter Parker and web-slinging vigilante superhero Spider-Man. He urges to tell the truth about his identity to his beloved Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst) and thus build a solid relationship with her, but he knows that this would result in putting MJ in harms way, so he remains silent.

""Spider-Man 2"" is not an action spectacle, certainly not as hair-raising or as fast-paced as the original. Rather director Sam Raimi's attempt to fashion the human characteristics and foibles of Peter Parker. Very wise move. There are many welcome scenes where Peter merely talks to his aunt (who has some idea of why people need heroes), Mary Jane, Dr. Octavius, Harry and so on. There are some witty exchanges between Parker and his landlord who insists that Pete pay his overdue rent. But something is missing, perhaps some aura or level of surprise. The movie starts in fits and spurts, like a broken engine. There is a blandness in the direction when Raimi aims for those endless close-ups of Maguire's cherubic, sincere face. The movie feels inert at times, hardly as invigorating in the dialogue scenes as in the high-powered action scenes.",7
"The + + Directing + Cinematography + Sound

Very weak script
Zero character development.
Many ""just walking"" scenes should be shorter.",5
"IN A NUTSHELL: The story is based on Percival Everett's book called ""Erasure."" This is director Cord Jefferson's debut! He's off to a great start! He also wrote the screenplay with Percival Everett. The film has already won the People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival. In total, it has received 90 nominations and already won 29! Well deserved.

THINGS I LIKED: Jeffrey Wright is absolutely terrific and does an excellent job carrying this film.

The rest of the cast is also fantastic and includes Tracee Ellis Ross, John Ortiz, Erika Alexander, Leslie Uggams, Issa Rae, Sterling K. Brown, Keith David, and more.

I'm always fascinated by movies about writers. I'm an author of 31 books (you can find them all on Amazon from various publishers...shameless plug), so I love seeing how they're portrayed in films. You can search for my books by using my nane: Trina Boice.

The movie absolutely pokes fun at white people who seem to know more about being black than actual black people.

It was heartbreaking to watch the family navigate an aging mother with Alzheimer's Disease. My family just went through that and had to say goodbye last fall. Those scenes were hard to watch for me. There are so many decisions that a family needs to make during those difficult times, and I thought the film did a good job illustrating that.

There is a lot of clever, satirical humor that pokes fun at society, race, and culture.

I love the ending of the film that shows several endings.

THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: I really enjoyed this.

TIPS FOR PARENTS: Kids will be bored.

The ""N"" word is used.

Profanity, including many F-bombs, which also happens to be the name of a book that's talked about a lot in the story.

Talk of gay sex. We see two gay men kiss.

We see a lot of shirtless men.

Lots of gunshots that result in a bloody death.

"The timing of this film is highly suspicious as reported by Patrice Greanville of The Greanville Post: ""Appearing in late 2012, prior to the US presidential election, and in the midst of an all-out propaganda campaign to demonize Iran and take America to war against that long-victimized country (a stealthy dirty war of sabotage and assassination has been waged against Iran for quite some time now by NATO assets and the Mossad, with probably ample support from the Gulf royal mafia), the film can only add fuel–what else–to the flames. This film, under the guise of a thriller, can only exacerbate anti-Iranian feeling in America and elsewhere, and, in passing, perhaps as an unwitting bonus, give the sinister CIA a cuddly wink of approval. Which is exactly what you'd expect from nincompoop liberals like Affleck and Clooney."" This film is also a whitewashing of CIA history. No, the CIA is not a force for good. CIA officers are not cool. There's nothing exciting or honorable about imperialism.",1
"Well, it looks really expensive. And the performances are fine as well. But, everything just feels so empty. Like the vastness of space, there is nothing to grasp onto. And, a ridiculous ending. I'd love to watch that with a bunch of astronauts.",6
"I watched this Wednesday, last night All of it and oh my god is so bad.

Mostly some copy/paste from various good movies and plots and styles, nothing interesting or original. The Addams family, Harry Potter, Sherlock Holmes and some intellectual Alan Poe farts.

Stupid and cheap.

CGI like in movies like Hercules and Xena.

What more can I say about the actors. CZ Jones is like a mummy brought to life who moves briefly so that the smudge on his face doesn't break or his damn head falls off his shoulders. I remember Angelica Houston in that role. How cool it was.

That plump and linear child that is Wednesday, hmm, I don't know what to say, but compared to Christina Ricci, she is absolutely zero.. with a muzzle.

Sorry Mr. Burton, unfortunately it is impossible not to compare, if Addams is copied 1 to 1 after Barry Sonnenfeld's film.

You somehow expect something more subtle, unusual, interesting if you hear Tim Burton's name, even if he is not a director but a producer.

It is not the case and I feel sorry for those youngster that didn't saw Sonnenfeld s Addams or older Burton s movies.",3
"I had previously written a review based off of this show's first four episodes, and I gave it a 7. I felt that, as of that time, it was an average show, and that it could go either way. Most of the first eight episodes were good. A couple were great, even. But: episodes nine and ten were stellar. This series earned its 8th star.

The main characters are good. Agent Coulson, Skye, and Agent May are all very good, and, though some would disagree, I find Fitz and Simmons both likable. As for the minor characters: the people making this show aren't afraid to make up new characters, whether they're hero or villain, super- powered or non-super-powered. They already have a couple of compelling villains that are driven by more than simple greed or madness. The show's special effects are particularly good, which you might well have guessed. The show uses offshoots of classic story-lines such as Extremis. They also make references to the events happening in the Marvel Cinematic Universe at large. They are also beginning to link the events of individual episodes together very nicely. There is a good deal of mystery as to what happened to Coulson after the Battle of New York, and Skye's and May's rather ambiguous background is intriguing.

On the downside, the show contains some gratuitous content (and I'm not talking about showing blood in the action sequences or anything, I mean including things that are genuinely unnecessary). Also, some of the dialogue is a little cheesy. Additionally, some people who have seen a lot of television might find some of the plot elements predictable (although I personally don't).

Let me stress again: this show had potential, and, as of the most recent episodes, it is fulfilling it. It is truly earning its place in the MCU.",7
"It doesn't matter how old you are, what genre you like or anything else, this show will become one of if not the best show you will ever watch in your entire life. Everything from the characters, to the plot to the inspirational messages, this is a gem and should be cherished during your first watch of the show, because it's not like any show you have ever or will ever watch again. Enjoy",10
"The effects are of course, amazing, but really, this part one of part seven is so boring. The joy and youth of all the previous films are gone which is understandable, but the trio of protagonists, Harry, Hermonie and Ron have a road trip of sorts. Largely left to their own devices, I wanted Harry to wave his magical wand around and hurry proceedings up. The darkest and most glum of the films, Lord Voldemort is the personification of evil. He wants to take over the world, not just Hogwarts and the Ministry of magic. The acting is super, all casting is perfect with Helena Bonham Carter a standout. The anticipation of a big cliffhanger will be on the minds of all watching as the audience is aware the finale is not released until July. All I can say is the fireworks have yet to be lit. Take in an extra choc-top this is a sedate film to say the least, however, fans won't mind a bit. There is a clever animated sequence that explains exactly what the deathly hallows are by the way, over all, slick but slow.",5
"Being visually stunning, funny, very emotionally intense at parts, and having phenomenal sound track, this show is without a question one of the best I have ever seen. With elements for all age demographics and phenomenally written characters, there is no reason not to watch this show. A masterpiece.",10
Overall I would say I like this show but the new Dr Smith is killing it for me for one very basic reason. She's told so many lies that her character is utterly unbelievable. Actress does an ok job but I'm sorry the character has destroyed an otherwise good show.,4
"First of all.... everybody who rates 10/10... what do you rate, let's say, shawshank redemption or the godfather?

Witcher is a very good series, if you compare it to all the crap, that marvel has puked the last couple of years. But if we stick to loosely the same genre and compare it to game of thrones and Vikings... shouldn't even be mentioned in same sentence as Game of thrones. Vikings... njae... witcher is better than the latter half of the series at least.

Henry cavill saves it very much, and it helps when you think that it's based on a game. Otherwise a bit messy and some things looks a bit cheap and overplayed. But, as mentioned, it's based on a videogame.

Worth the time! Hope's up for improvement.

*English is not my first language.",7
"I really warmed up to this show. Short, Martin and Gomez have great chemistry. I like the old-fashioned decor and the moody atmosphere. The story is engaging and I will look forward to the rest of the series.",8
"OK, a couple of pointers. If you can't stand films with basically no dialogue, give this one a miss. The story is told basically in a documentary style and for the first 10 minutes there is no real dialog. It does look like the story of a wet weekend in Margate where the territorial army was on a drill. This was supposed to be a massive evacuation of men. There were men everywhere. Even although this is shot in very nice wide format, it fails to convey the shear human scale of the evacuation. One of the other intersecting stories is supposed to be the RAF out on patrol giving cover to the troops on the beach. Unfortunately I think there are actually only 3 spitfires still flying in the world. And It looks like they are in this film. So unfortunately it just looks like the might of the RAF was 3 spitfires that were just on patrol. I think the director tries to make us believe that there were more, like a squadron of them, but it just looks like the same 3 planes. So when they are having a dog fight, unfortunately that's all you are thinking 'didn't that plane just get shot down? I'm sure that's the same plane, why is it still flying..' The rest of it is alright, there are some good scenes and then there are some where you are just scratching your head. The 1958 version with old Sir John 'rugged face' Mills and dikkie Attenbourough is much better, and gives a much better account of the scale of the amount of men trapped on the beach. But then again that was shot just after the war and they had plenty of old tanks, boats and aircraft to blow up.",6
"Hmm, this film is about 20 minutes too long. It is based on a true story but some of it just feels like filler. Whatever, it makes a watchable C-movie. Oh, they should have talked more about how Ronald Reagan was an idiot.",5
"No matter what I say here, it won't matter. People see this movie as a classic, and I respect that. But despite the raving reviews, I was not in love with the concept; Forrest Gump is a ridiculous series of events, portrayed seriously.

The accents, the outcomes, the behavior? Ridiculous. Yet its tonality is serious... Its message? Serious. Now, perhaps the humor was just a miss for me, and there is something comedically appealing to others, or perhaps celebrating mediocrity is truly that moving to some. But in neither case was this film redeemable for me.

The pacing was slow, and to be honest I was a bit bored. But I sat through slow burns before, such as The Shawshank Redemption, and that was a far better movie. And with a much better message, plot and delivery.

I feel like I'm desecrating someone's grave here, but I stand by it. I've witnessed much more compelling storylines, acting and cinematography than this. So, 5/10 for me, but I know my opinion is unpopular and most will think differently.",5
"If I could give this garbage zero stars I would. The acting is HORRIBLE! And then there are the creators taking advantage of the work Marvel does and calls it their own. The first episode was more like some one threw a bunch of their political views together and didn't even know what a comic book was as was with the rest of this stupid junkyard of T. V show. Loki is actually very stubborn and doesn't know how to think on his feet with out his powers, he's a crybaby a moron that manipulates people to get what he wants. Just let Marvel go Disney, you screwed up spider-man with Tom Holland, and made him a cry baby who has to depend on Stark, and you messed up Hulk making him look and sound like a boy band groupie, the list goes on.",1
"Guys now we have got new super hero from marvel ..daredevil. Fighting sequence, i cant explain that but if you are a marvel fan you must have to see it , screenplay all thing i liked in movie.",9
"It astonishes me that so many people would love a film where nothing actually happens at all. The reason is simple-most people rightly love Bill Murray, and Scarlett Johansson has a growing reputation. When the chap is wavering about watching the film, she is thrown in as a bonus, and he agrees to see it. From there, once a film acquires a reputation as undeserved as this, it is almost compulsory to love it- the middle classes sit around their dinner tables, and all smugly agree how good it is, no matter what they actually think of it.

I am angry that I have seen this film, and I am angry that it is so popular; it simply reflects how low our society has sunk, and how little we expect from popular entertainment.

The 'R' word should not be lightly thrown around, but as well this film being extremely annoying, I wonder if I am alone in being very disturbed about how disrespectful the movie is to Japanese society and culture?",1

I don't like to have to tune in to an episode every week. Which is kind of done. Netflix has those. But is willing to put a full season on demand. You binge watch. I wait for that.

So far after hearing a season ender for the show. I am now gonna watch it as a subscriber to hulu. Reservation Dogs is another. But cant commit to a show that always gets cancelled. Been burned a lot.

"This is a showman's film, but it lacks something. It's has all the bells and whistles a large, lavish budget offers to a production but it doesn't challenge its viewing audience enough. For a film that specifically focuses on illusions and the slight of hand that these four magicians are experts at, I would have expected a more dynamic plot. The twists were entertaining if not quite unfortunately predictable. The Four Horseman, that's what the magicians are calling themselves, all come across as a completely arrogant individuals, and I guess that's just brilliant acting and characterization to make me hate them all so, so much.",6

Same here with daredevil, sometimes he can dispatch a dozen ninjas, but 3 convicts and he's so winded and tired he can barely walk? I guess someone thinks it makes for good tv when a bad guy gets away again and again from a ""super hero"". I just find it's like horror movies when the people run towards danger...idiots!! Lol I don't think D'Onofrio needed to do the raspy voice thing, he sounds stupid (in my opinion it doesn't make him sound scary). Fight scenes are well done. Acting is better from some than others. I don't think I'll watch another marvel show, the reviews said this was a lot better than Jessica Jones, sure, a little bit.",6
"In my opinion this is the best Chinese comedy kung fu movie yet to be made. I'm not very familiar with the previous work of the director Stephen Chow except for Shaolin Soccer but this flick has everything to entertain any movie fan.

Both the humor and the drama made me weep like a small girl, even thou I'm a guy almost at my 30's. The impressive camera techniques and the story sure made this a phenomenal viewing experience.

"A few years ago a very young girl had her head crushed by a pit bull & I wondered what God's purpose was for how she experienced that death. As humans we tend to only remember the success stories for whatever reason we choose to believe is their cause. We either forget, dismiss, or never hear of the failure stories.

Submersion drownings have been well researched around the world. Our young bball player had everything going for him: youth; exposure time (about 20 min); latest science based knowledgeable response; medical equipment; treatment protocols such as drugs. The physician in the movie said he had never heard of a case like this. Seems he lacks common medical knowledge of cold weather drownings.

Cold water (colder is better; near freezing is best) drownings slows heart rate, stops breathing, routes blood to vital organs. This ""diving response"" can actually last up to two hours. Neurologic recovery is usually quite good. A majority of individuals similarly exposed have excellent long term results.

"For me the film, although enjoyable, it did not do the book justice. I will keep this short. For me, the big problem was, while the book had a good balance of real world and Virtual World, the film spends to much time in the VR world. I The small amount of character development is clucky, and so is some of the dialogue. Almost all of the characters are one dimensional. What I would have liked is less VR action and more story. Lets hope someone does a better job when they make Snow Crash. But if they dont I recomend people read it.",5
"Three things you should not have in your series:

1. Two leading parts with low standard and shallow acting; it screws up the aim of seriousity that the creators clearly intend to have through the series.

2. A sci-fi topic that gives you some clear world ordinances, but with a screenplay that doesn't make that same world, and the people in it, act ""true to life""; watch out for non-viable behavior and decisions.

3. The two points above in combo with banal drama.

Three GOOD things this series has:

1. Really good acting by Nick Offerman, Alison Pill and Zach Grenier.

2. Nice cinematography.

3. A couple of references to interesting theories and interpretations concerning quantum mechanics.

My rating of 3 is calculated like this: The first 3 points is so devastating for the whole series, so I needed to start at zero rating. That's really bad, 'cause zero rating doesn't even exist in this kind of universe. Then we got 3 positive things about the series, one star each for those. Voila!",3
"Plot Summary: the world has gain knowledge that billionaire and inventor Tony Stark is the man in iron suite and with that revelation come pressure and questions about his technology and inventions. At this same time, old enemies unknown to him plans to take him down. With the government against for not sharing his inventions, Tony must form new alliances to confront some powerful enemies. The theme of the movie was struggle for human dignity and human relationship. This is shown as Tony tries to show to the world that he not a selfish person but have more integrity than that while building strong relationship with others. This film share the same them with Iron Man 1 The film featured Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts, Don Cheadle as James Rhodes with Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko. In Iron Man 2, Tony Stark is the same arrogant person but this time the government and public is putting pressure on to release the suit to the government and military which he refuses. After he was captured because of his weapons, he vow in a public press release that he will not manufacture weapons for the military. But his resolve to keep his inventions close to himself is shaken when an old enemy confront him with a replica of the suit he created. The pressure from the government becomes more and Tony become selfish. Tony must now revisit his unresolved feelings toward his dead father and then try and build a relationship with him to be able to resolve his dignity and deal with the pressure from the military. The camera angle in the scene at the Grand Prix made it more dramatic and suspenseful. In the scene, Tony's racing car was turn upside down from the crash and Ivan was coming unto him at the same time the background showed explosion from other vehicle crashing. The camera shot he scene form downward making the scene more dramatic. The director also uses motif in the form of music. Every time Tony get his suit to fly or is about to fly, you will hear the same sound playing at the background and become some kind of Iron Man entrance sound. Overall, I believe the director was able to illustrate the intended theme of the film.",8

Another Superhero can achieve instant communication and teleportation by tapping a contraption worn on his wrist. But not all of them are tech-savvy; there is a Superhero still using bow and arrow. And another one uses a designer shield. To cut a long story short, they use exquisite weapons and toys while performing their extraordinary feats to protect lesser mortals like us.

It is not that The Avengers are always perfect; they do commit some silly mistakes sometimes. And one such mistake happened during their mission in Nigeria, leading to the death of some innocent people. It also resulted in United Nations waking up from their stupor and calls for bringing The Avengers under their purview. Some Superheroes, feeling guilty and tired, agree to submit themselves to UN control; others are outraged at their independence being compromised. There is a vertical split among The Avengers. The boss at UN gives the good guys 36 hours to bring around the bad guys. And fortuitously, it is also time for Halloween or some such festival. So they all don their best costumes and have a spectacular fight at Leipzig airport, crushing few planes in the process.

The Shock and Awe at Leipzig does not resolve the stalemate. Fortunately for us, The Avengers have a good sense of humour, of the self-deprecating kind. Particularly witty, is the Spiderboy, a new recruit. But he is advised by the seniors to talk less and fight more. Meanwhile the mummified soldier in Sokovia, who is revived by some mumbo-jumbo, spills some secrets about the parents of one of The Avengers. This reunites the two factions in their fight against the common enemy. The emotions tend to get a bit overwhelming and also confusing. But hopefully there will be a sequel soon to throw more light on these weighty matters.",5
"After reading all the positiv reviews i was very exited to watch this great show. but after 30 min. watchting the first episode i stopped. not my style, not funny.

i havent read the book, maybe i will give the show a second chance. but not at the moment. my watchlist is full of very good series that i 100% like.",4
"Looking at the amount of reviews ans decent score I was expecting to find a hidden gem. However, what a load of crap this was! I couldn't take no more after an hour and switched off.",2
I just finished the first three episodes. How disappointing! I was really hoping for something that was actually good. So boring! Waste of time.,2
"I liked this movie for its aspirations to tell a love story with the exotic backdrop of Tokyo which at the time this movie was made was kind of rare for an American movie. Ironically, Kill Bill (which features Tokyo scenes) also was shot in the same year. And that is also around the time the director Sofia Coppola and Kill Bill Director Quentin Tarantino began dating. Maybe just a coincidence.

I like Sofia Coppola. She has the genetics for movies, is smart, understands characters, has enough of a of a Lubitsch.erotic sensuality to this movie while not pushing the limits of the characters.

Coppola is respective to the young Scarlett Johansson. She gets the best out of Bill Murray, who underplays his character while doling out his great physical comedy skills and tricks. I don't think this movie could have been made today.

At the same time, a lot of this story is unrealistic. There are some holes in the script. My understanding is a lot of the movie was written on the fly with improvisation and not a lot of dialogue.

The relationship between Johansson and Ribisi could have been fleshed out a little more perhaps.

The ending is totally unrealistic again which makes this a 6 for me instead of perhaps a 7.

It's a great effort but not a great movie, But worth seeing.",6
"NO spoilers: This show is a barrel of fun!! For someone like me, who knew nothing of The Witcher going in, it's confusing at first because there are a multitude of characters to learn, and they all have typical nonsensical fantasy names, but I suggest these tips to help you get into the show: 1) watch with the subtitles on! It helps you grasp the characters, place names, and makes the various accents easier to figure out; 2) find a Witcher ""primer"" on the internet, you can figure out who these characters are with minimal spoilers and it will help you ease into the show without feeling lost; 3) find a reviewer's blog and read along with the epi recaps so you really grasp everything! (Alternatively, watch the epis and then read the blog just to make sure you grasped everything). I suggest the one at PCgamer, it was helpful.

Also, keep in mind that the plot is non linear so things are happening out of sequence - once you get the characters down this is easy enough to follow along with. This show is worth the minimal effort it takes for a noob to get invested, I'm thrilled there will be a season two!!",9
"Loved season 1.

However, Season 2 was just a series of long drawn out 'deep meaningful conversations' amongst characters that we care nothing about. Any plot developing action and genuine story line was forced to take a back seat to ultra violence and insincere emotion, leaving any trace of the wit and sarcasm of season 1 long behind.

Hughie and Starlights relationship is laughable, Butcher is one dimensional, has no character development and still fronts that poorly executed Jack Sparrow-esque cockney accent, Homelander is the only saving grace of the show.

I like the jibs at modern day America, at populism and the rise of white nationalism. But, you can't have a good show on symbolism alone.

All the action is edited into the trailer, the rest is repetitive drivel. Save yourself 8 hours and watch that.",3
"Too sloppy, and pandering. In fact, it's annoying. I should have liked this because I love odysseys. But I didn't. Through the slop, the movie does possess some charm, which is why it received thr high rating of 3 stars.

And to think for a micro-second this movie even comes up to the boot heels of Shawshank Redemption, more than any other time in history, clearly illustrates the bias & incompetence of the Academy. Umpteen awards won by this movie? Really?? Nauseating. Oh well, Hollywood and the Academy are both the (well-deserved) laughing stocks of the entire entertainment industry now anyway so I would say justice has been served.

Tom Hanks wears on me. I reluctantly tried to put Forest Gump on the tube for only a second time in almost 28 years, and my wife & I couldn't stomach it. Deciding it was more important to keep dinner down, we thankfully switched it off after a couple minutes.

(This review is exclusive of what Hanks is personally, which is an abomination in itself.)

"I admit I don't like Adam Sandler as a comic actor, but I had great hope for this one. And I did like it for awhile. But then most of the actors became too wild and uncontrolled. The close-ups, the basketball game, the interaction in the jewelry store were too much. And I especially didn't like the ending with the weird spaced out stuff. I guess the bottom line is that I really don't like Adam Sandler as an actor. I tried to figure out who would have done a better job in that part. Maybe an older, more experienced actor in drama films. It was almost like they were going for an ""action film"" without the car chases.",3
The acting and the seagulls are good but that's about it.,2
"This is good try only. However this is far from best movie about love. It is artistic, poemic, symbolic. Trying to explain natural and extra ordinary love. Meaning, more generic love. It reminds me of personal likes, fetishes, and love towards superheroes, cartoon characters, and objects. But it is too negative, especially because of high level of violence, injustice, and disability. Then lacks explanation and too unrealistic. Too many holes which could be explained, filled with better intro and transitions, and somehow too empty, especially the end. More like some unclear dream, both good and bad.",4
"No proof of substance in any of the writing. Tell don't show is the direction of the show. Inconsistencies throughout. Reminds me of a slightly higher budget CW show.

Hugh Jackman would have been the perfect casting for Joel. Imagine a copy of Jackman's character from Prisoners slaughtering bandits and dealing with tickers. Bella Ramsey as Ellie overdoes the awkward use of swearing to the max for no fault of her own. The dynamic between the two main characters is not fleshed out enough and makes for awkward viewing.

My assumption was that this was the end of the world, and anywhere and everywhere is dangerous. Never have I seen two people more safe, relaxed, and happy in an apocalypse scenario than I do with these two. Zero tension.

I have so many gripes with a variety of scenes in this series which I won't include to evade spoilers.",3
"Season 5 is a 0, while Season 1-4 was a 10. Watched the first episode of Season 5 and was wondering if we were watching Nick Toon. The concept was silly and cliche, the acting on some was laughable, and the ending was a joke. Actually I take that back, I have enjoyed watching Nick Toon with my kids more. Then episode 2 was just OK, nothing amazing but after episode 1, it's an upgrade. After that didn't bother with the 3rd episode, just didn't inspire much motivation to keep going.

And for those saying the criticism for Season 5 is unjust because it wasn't we expected, please stop. This is the same crew saying that we hated on GOT because we didn't get the ending we wanted. It's called ""independent thinking"". If something is bad, you say it's bad. Not be brainwashed into thinking everything is good when it's clearly crap just because you were die hard fans from the start. If I hadn't watched the first 4 seasons of Black Mirror, I'd still think Season 5 is crap as a stand alone series. It's because of it being Black Mirror that I had wasted my time on Season 5.",5
"This is a drama about a gang of teens set in a fictive 1980s town of Hawkins. The atmosphere from 80s is recreated in a phenomenal way includes clothes, hobbies, music and behaviours. For those that lived during these time it is a fantastic time machine full of nostalgic memories. So on the surface it is a super col sci-fi drama with teens set in the 1980s. Even the special effects seems authentic without overloads of CGI.

On a deeper level, the series is also an expression for the longing for a lost security and a more traditional America, symbolized by the small town of Hawkins.

The first season is about how the security of the childhood disappears as the teenagers meet a supernatural evil force, while the second season is about their struggle trying to cope with the trauma and also how to be able to carry this secret experience and thereby being different from from others.

The origin of the trauma is that the government has done secret experiments above above public knowledge and instead of admitting their mistakes leading to the evil force, and is trying to cover up and mislead the situation.

Here it is easy to draw parallells from this to the ongoing changes in our society where our known world is challenged by new forces like technological changes, terrorism, migration and cultural tensions, political misuse of power etc etc. Where the common answer from authorities often are: don't worry trust us, we have it under control. While the truth often is nobody has a clue what is really going on..

As the story progresses, the helper/hero in this, ""Eleven"" becomes more and more normal. From at the beginning of the story be viewed as a freak in the periphery, ""Eleven"" moves into the centre as more normal. Being more accepted. Also a good parallell to whistleblowers that gain more acceptance and credibility when it becomes much harder to hide the harsh reality.

So, it is a great series with many levels. Very well produced and intensely thrilling. Looking forward to season three.",9
"The Fablemans tells the story of an over dramatic and way too complicated family set in the 50's and 60's portraying an already complicated set of situations. Michelle Williams' iron and unhinged matriarch Mitzi Fableman rates top 5 of the most irritating people ever portrayed in a major motion picture. Given the age demographic, The high school angst also seemed over the top and considerably over thought. Gabrielle La Belle and the terribly underrated, but magnificent Judd Hirsch shine as part of this nomadic herd where the rest of the characters here just don't penetrate the emotions of the audience without a roll or two of the eyes. Clocking in at a heavy 2 hours and 30 minutes, the movie requires a tad more depth and sincerity. Not Spielberg's finest and hopefully not his last seat in the director's chair.",6
"First season was great, second season started to go downhill, third is just lame. The storylines of Seasons 2 and 3 would never even occur of any of the characters talked for 2 seconds. Not sure if that was what they were going for... but it makes everyone seem pretty dumb. But besides the stupidity that permeates the plot line, it still takes interesting twists and turns. Gotta give credit, when credit is due.

When it comes to the characters, they are great, and their powers are very imaginative. I say that with complete exception to Vanya. Easily the lamest character of them all. Not to mention all the woke baggage she brings with her in seasons 2 and 3.

The show is still very watchable, but honestly I wouldn't bother past season 2.",6
"Martin Short and Steve Martin make the show as well as some of the other actors. Why Selena Gomez was chosen for the part I will never know. I am certain there are other more talented young women out there. Her constant monotone whiney voice never changes the Entire first season that I've watched so far. Hoping she improves during the second? But based on some of the comments on here I guess not. She has no personality, is extremely rude, bitter and not in a way that makes one empathize with her character. She grates on ones nerves but I try to ignore as much as I can bc I love the writing and of course Stave Martin, Martin short and Nathan Lane. Loved how finally the Armenian and Greek genocide is getting some attention in a Hollywood show/film among a couple other surprises. Just some little things I've noticed that make it a bit more desirable to me. But overall love the mystery and hoping Selena works on her acting and becomes a little more engaging as the show progresses.",8
"Plot Holes You Could Drive A Semi Through, bad scripts, bad editing, bad acting, cliches, torture, illegals acts by the barrel-full......man, this show has it all and then some. And that irritating timer counter kettle drum thing every quarter hour. It's enough to make a tv addict joing TV Addicts Anonymous. The clincher is when you see an actual cameraman to the right of the actor, and they forget to edit him out of the scene. I can't say 'unbelievably bad' enough times to anyone who hasn't seen this. The '10' reviewers must be watching Homeland and mistaking it for 24 somehow.",1
"This movie is just brilliant. Brilliant story, excellent direction, wonderful acting and one of the finest background scores ever. Please go and see this movie and you will return smiling. Anurag Kashyap is one of the best directors of all times, the whole world combined. Bollywood has rarely seen movies this good. For me this is the bollywood flick of all times and can even be counted as one of the best movies made till date. It has got everything you can imagine in a movie except aliens and nonsense. If you love movies got and watch this. Manoj Bajpai is brilliant as ever and all other actors have done quite well. There is a trailer for the second part after the credits - don't miss it. Can't wait enough for the second part.",10

"It's an absolute disgrace that this movie and other ""blown out of proportion marvel movies"" are in top 250 movies on IMDb's list.

This movie is above ones like Inglourious Basterds, Unforgiven, Good Will Hunting...

Every marvel movie is the same. There are no good villains, just a lots of jumping, crashing, speed up fighting and that s it.

Comparing to this Batman trilogy is like... there is no word for that.

OK, it' s entertaining but nothing more.

Waste of time

"I cannot begin to tell you how disappointed I was with this movie. Nothing happens! I spent the entire time thinking, i hope something happens soon. Then, when it finally did, I thought ""don't let that be it, this is going to be the end isn't it"". And it was!

There will be people out there who will argue there is a great story and it develops well, and they aren't completely wrong, but almost!

It was so boring.

And the name is misleading too. It should be called Rise of the Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

I left the cinema feeling like I'd just spent 105 minutes watching the intro to a film.",3
"Firts of all i need to say ( as others) that Jon Bernthal was the perfect choice for the punisher. Has the looks, the precense and he is imposing, great actor. Now, to the point: this series looks more than a military postwar drama than a punisher. Feels more like the bastard son of Homeland and Tom Jane's pubisher. He only uses his suit on episode one and final episode of S1, and 3 or 4 times in season 2. Thats not superhero stuff. Madani and Micro had more weight in the series than Frank in season 1 and in Season 2 Madani can be the punisher with her hate for Russo. Also i dont undertstand the ""is so brutal"", ""action packed"" reviews, maybe for someone who only saw the MCU and expecting laughts an light tone, but this is punisher, he can cut your throat with a spoon without hesitation for being a bad guy. Sometimes it feel more like Tom Jane's Punisher ( i think it got more action too).

TL;DR : too much trauma talking, to much nonsense talking, to little Punishment, too litle punisher in full costume shooting bad guys. To far away from comics, to slow to be consider action packed.

I dont know whats going to happend now in full disney control ( maybe a punisher not using guns).",7
"Very bad 50's sitcom parody absolutely nothing of interest in the first 2 eps, don't know what it's supposed to be about I don't think it does either! If it's trying to ""set"" something up to draw you in it has failed miserably, can't see many people sticking with it to see how it plays out, which is a shame as I was looking forward to it, at least Loki looks good.",1
"Russo Brothers did an amazing job with this film. I loved every scene in this film.The action is amazing,its good to see Chris Evans again as Capitan America,Robert , well he is tony stark and i actually loved him this film more than in his own movies. Black Panther, Antman y Spiderman, they are just amazing and interesting characters in the film. Visual effects are amazing and the battles are really good. I thought that marvel will never do a very good movie like it was winter soldier, but i was wrong, i was totally wrong I don't like to compare, but i enjoy this film more than batman v superman. It's obviously that it is not perfect, that's sure but for me this is the best marvel movie, and i cant wait for the infinity war, the MCU is in good hands with the Russo brothers",10
"There's no story. Neither funny nor entertaining. I wanted to leave the cinema. Yes, i am a big fan of Marvel. But this one is really the worst Marvel movie i have ever watched.",4
"Had exceptionally high hopes for Witcher and season 1 is good. But series 2 and 3 have nosedived off a cliff. Cavill and the special effects are what has redeemed this from 1/10 to a 2/10.

What's most unforgivable is theyve managed to muddle the source material. Ive read the books and have no clue what on earth is going on anymore. Netflix and Lauren Schmidt have constructed a noose for their own necks by flicking between the books and their own disastrous ""creative"" ideas.

Season 2 takes the most creative liberties and as such was universally hated. So season 3 tries to awkwardly navigate back to the books but they're now in this awkward limbo of staying book true but maintaining the awkward plot they established in season 2. The result being the confusing hot mess that looks glossy but is confusing and at worst, just boring. It pains me to say it but this series needs cancelling before more damage is done. I truly believe this series could've had the potential to be on par with Game Of Thrones but they had to meddle with the formula. Instead we're left with a confusing series that has no idea what it wants to be and doesn't appeal to newcomers or the loyalists that know the source material.",2
"Well enacted ! Cast puts on an amazing 2.5 hr show. Only critique would be to shorten the film by just 20 odd minutes.

"Saw The Dark Knight because of all the over-the-top hype. Not a fan of comic books or action movies, so I was bound to be unimpressed by all the crashes & fireballs & stiff characters from the get-go, and this thing did not change my mind (which was left open, I swear!...) The good guys are all ""conflicted"" as only one can be ""conflicted"" in a comic book, i.e. it's all presented in a deadpan, take-it-or-leave-it approach. I left it, didn't buy it for a second. Ledger's Joker, however, is something else. He says he's just like everybody else, only ""ahead of the curve"", and that's the point, he is the insanity of society taken to its logical conclusion. A searing performance. What a tremendous talent the world has lost.",6
"It was a mediocre film. Explaination of the creatures would have been nice. I know this is based on a novel hence they could not have strayed too far with the ending. It could have also been condensed to a much shorter film.

"A little disappointed. Although the depression of this season has been reduced a lot, it's not as heavy as the first season, and the suspense left by the first season has been solved. However, the plot is a little too long. Especially, there are several episodes in the back that are very intimate and make people want to move forward quickly. However, even so, some of the passages are still moved. The final result is for the third season The suspicion of foreshadowing, but is it really necessary to continue the story?",8
"Once you start watching, you can not leave your seat. The brutality is horrific. It is not advisable to watch with family members.

Anushka is superb. The most part of the movie is the night and dark environment; especially at latter part of the story. That is the only drawback; but the story demands like that. The plot is very good. It is not a movie of a standard plot. There is no song in between which weakens the tension.

The message in the movie: Do not jump into a trouble and make a mess around you.

The only weak portion of the movie, which I feel, is that Arjun shoots an innocent man, who was little bit mentally challenged, of the gang in an accidental fight. Why should the gang take a mentally challenged member in a cruel operation?",9

"Personally, I'm always a bit wary of movies with Adam Sandler, since they often go in a rather trashy direction. Murder Mystery, on the other hand, is actually not that bad. Of course, it has partly by Adam Sandler and also the genre ""comedy"" really stupid moments, but it was also fun to fever with and guess who is responsible for the murders.

There is tension every now and then with some unpredictable twists and it's interesting to see how you are often steered in the wrong direction. Unfortunately, there were also some logic errors and some things seemed a bit unrealistic, but there are really worse. The film was partly reminiscent of Knives out and Orient Express, though the latter was probably intentional as there was an allusion at the end. Unlike Knives out, I couldn't really get attached to the characters. All in all, the film was not a masterpiece but not a disappointment either.

A nice pastime if you like to puzzle along, as well as a mix of comedy and action.",5
"I approached ""Amsterdam"" with foreboding because of its many negative reviews, but it turned out to be fun, suspenseful, and with great acting performances by all. And along the way the movie highlighted the difficult path of WWI veterans after the war, and brought up a now little-know plot against Roosevelt by some big businessmen.

The period clothing, cars, and etc. Were superb. As another reviewer stated, Christian Bale was awesome, but Zoe Saldana and David Washington, along with DeNiro, made the movie special.

There were shots depicting the horrible injuries incurred in WWII, and the suffering vets continued to have when they arrived back in the States.

Altogether a surprisingly coherent movie, despite what most reviewers had said.",7

Leading by Matthew Goode, perfect choice as a vampire, ah, he's freaking hot, charming, you can't take your eyes away from him...giving his incredible performances with Teresa Palmer. Season 1 was the best, pilot ep & final ep are outstanding.. Season 2 a bit slow but still episode 6 with guest starring James Purefoy are the best cause it's beautiful & heartbreaking..

"I admit that the only thing that made me interested in this was probably how it was a spin off of the much loved ""Avengers"" movie. It was great to see such a popular movie franchise with so much continuity get expanded into new media. Yeah, I do kind of wish there were more characters from Marvel Comics. It was great to see some like Absorbing Man. Agent Coulson works so well in this. It was tons of fun to have Samuel L. Jackson appear as Nick Fury.

What I really do love about this show is that you never know what kind of character will show up next. They're mostly original characters, but they still contribute to the story and greater Marvel continuity quite well. Any comic book related thing with Patton Oswalt is going to be awesome. Okay, ""Blade: Trinity"" was pretty bad, but you catch my drift. It was great to see new story lines being developed that were more about superpowered beings like the Inhumans.

As someone who knows a lot about Marvel Comics, it's pretty annoying just to have to learn all the new characters' names. You can still definitely count on this show to have all sorts of new developments, especially with all the work around Jemma traveling to the other planet. Plot threads get resolved quite well and they manage to build in a good amount of tension in new episodes. I guess it's just lots of fun to see the adventures of some lesser known people in this Universe. It helps that most of them couldn't be considered superheroes in any sense. They are simply agents adding a nice dose of realism to this supernatural world.

While vastly different than the Marvel movies, it's great that this still keeps the spirit with interesting characters, complicated plot lines and great environments. It can be hard to please some die-hard fans, but it's wonderful that this new world is created with just so much humility. There isn't that much of an attempt to be fancy, it's simply a show that shows off its characters great and makes you realize everything that goes on in a shared Universe. I would recommend this to anyone just to see what kind of different arcs each character will get. 10/10.",10

"I started to watch this show because I like scifi/mystery movies or TV shows and also because it got high ratings. After watching the first 4 shows, I am impressed by how realistic the background images have been made, you really get the feeling you are in another world. However, the story itself is ""standard"" dystopian setting: some good guys fighting the evil, the chases, the attacks, the love story, the cure, the cheap emotions, etc.. we have seen it all. There is not much intelligence build in. Anyway, I will keep on watching it as there is not much quality to be find elsewhere. We might be lucky if there is one quality scifi TV show per year.",7
"This wasn't as bad as I had expected. There is a lot of tension in this movie, and it is interesting to see characters try and solve problems in a world where they can't look outside.

This movie made me miss the old avengers crew more than anything. It almost seemed inappropriate - to soon, maybe, after End Game... Just a big miss (as opposed to a hit) overall for me.",3
"I was tempted to stop watching it about four times. I went up to the end just to see if, at least, there is something extraordinary or unexpected there. I really can't understand what all these viewers found to this film, to score it so high. It's the first time (or the second I'm not sure!) that I get into the mood of writing a review. The reason, I guess, is because this film is the fifth in the top 250 ranking and I couldn't see why. The curiosity of the ranking was also the reason of watching it at the first place. There is a high end casting and a top level director but nothing more, IN MY OPINION. I tried looking it through the eyes of 1994 but still compared to other productions of the age is far behind.

"With such a high rating as 8.7 (t the moment I write this review) it seems like being a sourpuss or a nitpicker to have even the slightest reservations, but I still feel the need to get them off my chest.

Yes, all 4 seasons are very impressive, evolving from funny horror stuff for kids to almost epic proportions in the last season (even the duration of the last episodes being epic!). But as things grew bigger and bigger, I personally more and more lost my touch with the story as well as with all the characters, especially in season 4 where things got totally chaotic. Way too many characters, operating on way too many levels in way too many bizarre storylines, it was all extremely hard to follow, made even more difficult by the constant shifting between the present and the past or by things happening in real life and things happening in a state of... I mostly couldn't event tell: dream? Subconsciousness? Parallel life??

Sure, there were some nice, scary scenes and the CGI was at many times great, but Vecna himself, who should be the epitome of Most Fearsome Being Ever, looked most of the time just like someone in a not very scary black suit. Then there was this time-consuming second storyline in Russia, with endless depressing scenes of Jim in prison where hardly anything happened (until at last, but totally out of the blue, the monsters appeared!), and only in the very last episode they came up with a rather contrived link to Vecna.

All those kids that were so funny and endearing in the first season, in season 4 seemed to have grown into a bunch of rather poorly acting young adults, who were still made to come up with corny primary-school humor. Supposed heroin Millie Bobby Brown in my opinion can only put up two expressions: either a wide-eyed cry-face or an (intended) intense face, and her parading in several curious, unbecoming outfits, with constantly stretched-out arm to evoke her powers, was more laughable than impressive.

If the already announced season 5 will go further down this slope, I'll definitely give it up.",4
I really disliked this film. The plot is terrible and seems like a weird mix of pocahontas and the smurfs. This film is supposed to be a technological achievement of CGI. I believe the people who thinks that are unaware of what was done in videogaming at the same time. The only thing Cameron did put these technology to film with a budget 10 times as big as a video game company would have needed to do the same thing.,3

"A genius storytelling where a few stories from different perspectives are told, and yet they all came together in that one epic scene. Bravo!",7

This is supposed to portray his other side of acting which we can see he can do. It's just a shame it was for a obvious film...",3
"Why the terrible reviews? Every single episode gets us to the edge of our chairs - 100 things go wrong in order to get solved intelligently with a certain degree of scientific accuracy. On top of that, set design and special effects are superb. Can't get enough. Season 2 is better than 1.",9
"*no spoilers* the movie is fun and is a joy to watch but absolutely nothing to do with harry potter, not the style nor the acting is even slightly related . the movie uses way too much CG but in the harry potter movies they used less CG and you still would be amazed and charmed . the story is very weak and to watch harry potter this has nothing to do with the story , good choice of actors but very weak-not exciting movie .

the movie's events are very slow and kind of boring . my summary is : a DISGRACE for the harry potter series, i think J.K Rowling just needed some money. ... Charmless , dead , boring movie.",5
"Anyone who knows anything about quantum computing, knows that you can't use it for simulations of any kind. It just produces too many errors per unit of calculation to be of any value for that.

You also can't have a quantum computer working at room temperature.

Having said that, the show is terrible beyond the ridiculously flawed science. Its glacial pace, lame story line and insufferable acting/dialog, makes you want to rip the hairs from your cranium while watching and hearing it.

It's as bad as the worst episodes of Black Mirror, of which there is a substantial amount to choose from.

This was in the face bad.

"This is a mash-up of Goosebumps series, with a dash of cult and a generous flashback to the 80's. Reminds me of The Goonies. Reminds me of E.T. Reminds me of M83.

It's confusing at first - I'm 33. So I can relate with everything here.

One of the kid looks like Macaulay Culkin. Familiar. The chief is like a lovechild of young Jack Nicholson and Dexter (Michael C. Hall). Winona Ryder looks like Winona Ryder. ""Should I stay or should I go?"" and many other synth M83-like sound. Bald, adorable, bad-ass girl escaping from lab. The monster is ... basic monster you'd imagine whenever you read teen horror novels. Tacky and predictable ending.

So I'm confuse whether this is for teenagers or adults like me.

On the fair side - it's nice and entertaining. I like how I don't have to think too much and just enjoy those cute kids running around in the forest chasing monsters. Makes me miss my childhood and how I used to enjoy those cheesy Goosebumps serials.",6
"Grew up with the original and have to say this was very disappointing for me. Agree on a lot of points about plots and how seemingly stupid the characters are figuring out things. The part I really dislike is the treatment of the male characters. They couldn't just write a story of women with leadership roles, they had to make the men weak and unlikeable. Even in the old series pretty much all the characters where strong, if you want to promote stronger female roles do it but don't turn Don into a black marketer tool that you don't trust or John Robinson a weak, PTSD suffering fool.",1

"Aside from being a superhero in Marvel Universe, as we all know the weight comes with it, there is a deep notion in the story told here - loneliness. A simple feel of being alone that progress overtime to be something we could never recognize afterwards. The theme in in which this notion is introduced is very novice and creative but not really outstanding. Of course, Marvel quality of directions and effects is out of questioning. A big Salute to Bettany as Vision for his outstanding performance, then Olsen as Wanda, and kids then rest of cast. I appreciate projects that reflect our lives and forces us to second look what we maybe missing out. Therefore, I enjoy watching this one as I enjoy thinking about how lonely we or our closed ones might be.",7
"I must be missing something here. I went to see this expecting something fantastic given that it had 14 Oscar nominations - including Best Actor and Best Actress. I left feeling very disappointed and wondering what all the hype was about.

A song and dance movie, with stars that could neither sing nor dance. How does that work? The answer is very plain - it doesn't. The best dancing in the film was the one where the dancers were in silhouette. There was a nice flowing movement to it and the two dancers moved gracefully. This was meant to be the two leads dancing, but I suspect that this dance was performed by 'proper' dancers - it was so different is class from the dances where Gosling and Stone were visible.

With competent performers, it might not have been half as bad - but I still don't think it would warrant all the accolades it has been given. The story was a bit predictable, and the whole film about 20 minutes too long.",2
"Being a musician all my life and seeing this film makes me hate the main character. And more the teacher. He practices all wrong and he always has accuses. The best drummer doesn't made from playing fast, that is so stupid. The best drummer doesn't made from playing stiff, this is even more stupid. And the best music teacher surely doesn't made from a tough guy who do not the first thing how to teach, you can not push students like that to make great musicians. The whole point is to relax and feel the music. And swing is about feel the beat. You need to master the slow tempo so you can then be more accurate at higher tempo. What his film try to communicate about practicing and being the best musician is absurd. I stopped half way through the film, I just couldn't watch this non-sense anymore.

The main character does also looks very dumb as a person and worst as a musician and I believe not many musicians can relate to that. I wish this film deliver the right message about what being the real musician is all about. If you get that wrong then everything is wrong.",5
"Cameron makes another dent in film-making with an experience best viewed in IMAX 3D. But even then, this self-indulgent, overlong, technologically impressive… yet coy… film gets boring really quick. The groundbreaking special-effects amazes at first, but it doesn't keep you interested like the SFX did in ""T2"". ""T2"" had characters you loved or loved to hate; ""Avatar"" has characters that well… you're indifferent to their fate. A good film should include talented acting and a solid story. This film has neither. And Cameron knows it. And he tries to disguise it with jaw-dropping special-effects, which ultimately is just nothing more than an insult to the audience's intelligence and time. The only character you can have any feeling towards is hatred for an arrogant and stereotypical colonel, played by Stephen Lang who can't even deliver a believable performance.

** (out of four)",4
"Gal Godot was very good. She carried the movie. Other than that, nothing about this movie was above average. Steve Trevor, her love interest, was average at best. Maybe women like the strong silent type....so I won't say I'm right. He wasn't exactly silent, but he didn't do much to get my attention as a character I really cared about. The team they put together to go on the mission was terrible. Stupid characters; the worst part of the movie. The action was okay, the villains were okay. A decent movie.",5
"The movie is completely braindead. No idea why it's so hyped.

People at Netflix doesn't get that if you base a movie on the great book it doesn't automatically become masterpiece/great. The book is a different type of medium! The more you think about this move the more annoyed you will be. There was some serious corner cutting here. I questioned the entire movie and really cannot understand why it's so popular.

What caused the beings? What actually were the beings? Why did some people not commit suicide, but became some sort of slaves of the beings? Going through rapids in a boat (blindfolded)? Why can't you open your eyes when birds are silent (outside)? Can we fight them? Why couldn't the entities enter buildings?",4

Billy Batson is this mature, smart kid but when he turns into Shazam he becomes annoying and stupid superhero (wisdom of salamon, how ?). I can go on and on how boring this movie is, but i'm not gonna waste time on that, trust me this one is a waste of time.",2

"Special effect is too obviously not painful to see but still obvious. They try to make it less obvious, also like that they use a bit 90-00's cartoon style movie. Like the dryness but it makes it too easy sometimes what is pity.

Suddenly he is scientist and able to fix things Love the twist/surprising factor in the movie The acting is Ok sometimes below average but the bad guys have done a good job.

Nice flow it luckily connected with the last one making it a good sequel.

Love the face expression There area lot of small elements that are great but so subtle that it is hard to notice and to appreciate what is pity because the elements are so lovely.

There is so much special effect that nothing seems real.... What I really hate because if is done that great if we cannot distinguish the real from the effect that will be ok.

Camera is not that special.",3
"Aside from Johnny Depp's Quirky performance -- always worth watching -- this was a pretty lame attempt at action-comedy. The special effects were of course competent, and the camera work was good, but the writing and plot were thin and amateurish. Perhaps I should not have expected more, given that it's just a Disney SFX vehicle with a bankable lead, but I thought this fell far short of the hype. The apparent premise that some of them were dead and cursed to go on and on ... it seemed to change somehow toward the end, as if no one was sure what the rules really were.

It's set up of course for a seQuel, probably even lamer than this one. I wouldn't have minded if I hadn't paid four bucks to see the thing on Pay Per View, but I guessed wrong on this one.",2
Really don't understand the buzz. The movie is boring and the storie is nonsense. Much better options with other movies .Waste of time,3
I don't understand the nomination and positve reviews. It's just an OK movie. A missed opportunity to do something better.,5
"This movie was 3 hours too long. The dialogue was boring, the storyline was boring, the acting was subpar. Everyone involved should be embarrassed. I can't believe we had to wait over a decade for this garbled up mess. Spielberg has lost his way, and I won't be trusting him when his next absurdly over produced blockbuster comes out in another ten years. They should have killed this movie in the cradle. The visuals were kind of cool but who wants to watch a bunch of CGI aliens swim around for two hours? Not this guy. Save your time, save your money, don't waste your valuable time on this film. It's steaming garbage.",4
We have a image in our mind that all super heros are good and trust worthy but what if its wrong.. This series shows us dark side of super heroes which is quite interesting to watch.. From the beginning itself the series holds you to your seat.. Superbly written you'll enjoy each and every minute...... I liked butcher and also homelander the actors acted so well.. If you are someone who loves super hero fiction kind of shows then you are gonna enjoy it... But there are some scenes which are a bit violent and dark so if you are okay then please go ahead and watch it.... Overall i would say its a good show..,9
"Baddies fight goodies. Story summary aside now, I'll comment on what actually matters in a Michael Bay movie--the noise, visual and otherwise. Since Bay seems to have wrapped up most of his commitments to the Transformers franchise, I suppose he's looking for a new series with this Netflix release, ""6 Underground."" Basically, this one is the same loud, adrenaline-junkie garbage he usually makes. Another rapidly-edited, stunt-laden car chase sequence occupies the opening act even before, as well as during, the narrative set-up regarding what the gang of heroes are and will be doing. After an especially blatant product-placement shot for Captain Morgan rum (and this after they make a guy a ""pirate"" by removing one of his eyes--get it?), there's some fighting, shooting and killing in a building, then some more of that on a yacht. They incite a coup in a fictional Asian state named ""Turgistan."" Anyways, I'd better tolerate the shots lasting one or two seconds before cutting to the next if it weren't for the obnoxious pop-music soundtrack, the sex scenes that are filmed the same way except with the addition of ass shots of women, the car commercials, listless parkour, hero posturing, and the gaudy slow-motion tableaus.

It's peculiar that during the car chase sequence, this visual mess threatens to spill over into the destruction of historically-important pieces of art, including Michelangelo's ""David,"" or as this movie has it, the statue of the guy with a small penis. Another scene has a brutal dictator admiring the artwork of the Louvre. These scenes aren't as perfect of a metaphor for what Bay does to art as was his destruction of Ancient Egyptian monuments in the second Transformers burger, but it offers a stark contrast nonetheless between art and exploding rubbish such as ""6 Underground.""

The casting of Ryan Reynolds here makes sense. Besides putting a likable personality in front of the rest of the action-movie noise meant to disguise writing so lazy that it borrows its punchlines from other movies and media--and points that out, as if that's the joke--Reynolds has plenty of experience with (super)hero franchises. They even got his ""Deadpool"" writers to script this one. Again, Reynolds provides voiceover narration to directly address the audience, as he becomes something of a resurrected ""ghost"" who, then, assembles a team to fight baddies. Deadpool, Green Lantern, Blade, Deadpool again and, now, this. Given that he's an inventive billionaire in this one who, at one point, is accused of acting like Bruce Wayne, I guess this is Reynolds's Batman picture. Unfortunately, none of the other members of white savior's Justice League have the star charisma and fame of Reynolds, to compensate for a noisy movie and lousy script that do them no favors. This movie is trash.",3
Why did they keep making it? Second season is just crap.,1
"We Bangladeshi people get exited when we get international attention and it doesn't involve building collapse killing thousands or something like that. So I was excitedly waiting for this movie just like everyone else here.

All the forces of the entire country working for a drug lord and getting beaten by two guys is fine. Kinda incorrect picturization of Dhaka is acceptable too. But children carrying AK-47s in daylight is way too much. Everyone knows aliens don't really invade NY once every year. But not a lot of people from outside know Dhaka or Bangladesh. This misrepresentation is disappointing. And not a single character speaks good enough Bengali with a Bangladeshi accent. There is no Bangladeshi character you feel a human connection to. The whole nation is like a kidnapper in this movie.

Good actions and acting though. Might have liked the movie if I was not Bangladeshi and didn't speak Bengali.",5
"The film has some moments of interest and good acting, mainly by Andie MacDowell. However, all in all, I felt disappointment and boredom, which increased as the movie progressed.

The main idea in the movie is the dramatic change which the characters go through once Graham enters their lives. Well, I could not see anything about Graham that could drive such a change. Why is the introverted Ann suddenly opens up to this eccentric stranger? Why is her sister so keen to meet him, knowing basically nothing about him, and why does this meeting drive her to make a significant change in her life?

As for the Graham character itself, by the end of the movie we still know little about him, which makes it a bit awkward when Ann confronts him about his life. However, I didn't feel any interest in knowing more about him. The same goes for the other characters. Cynthia has been particularly shallow and didn't seem to have any motive in her life except resenting her sister.

I guess that the idea of talking about sex was sensational at the time, but now when it became trivial, we are left with a pretentious movie that gives little of what a good drama should.",6
"I went to the theater to say goodbye to Doctor Strange. I found the story to a bit better than I thought it would be, with many scenes not convincing at all. Poor choices and so on, like many movies today. My decision? I seldom go watch movies in theaters nowadays.",4
"With the recent Oscar nomination march on, I watched ""Gravity"" with a high expectation. And after watching it thought, it would have been better had I watched it in 3D. What happens when you are adrift in the outer space without gravity is what the film's plot is about. And with the space suits on, Sandra Bullock as a medical engineer and George Clooney as a veteran astronaut take us to the journey outside the space which highlights the technical brilliance in movie making. You get stunned, and Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as usual enlivens the film through their screen presence. But beyond that the film appears a bit empty lacking the emotional depth or depth in characters. In the aspect, I liked 'Apollo 13"" which documented an important event form the space history. In ""Gravity"" the story somehow resembles the adrift journey of ""Wall-E."" You would surely be mesmerized by its sheer expertise in the visuals but in terms of story and characters, the film ends inadequate; and to me ""The Life of Pi"" was better. Overall, the film ends pretty well technically but I highly doubt about its probability for getting through Oscars in the popular awards.

Rating: 2 stars out of 4",6
"Like everyone else, i decided to watch this only because of Ryan Reynolds. Honestly i only watched it for 13minutes, its more than enough to know the quality of this movie.

Overused slowmotion, sound effect and the ""damn, i love italy"" were to painful to watch.",3
"My husband and I just got back this afternoon from seeing ""Forgetting Sarah Marshall"". Our local newspaper had given it a 3 out of 4 star rating so we went. We LOVED this movie. I don't want to spoil any of the movie for anyone but just want to say...the plot is great, the casting of actors and characters was great..we loved the music...everything! Go see the movie and enjoy it...I wouldn't read a lot of reviews and find out too much about the movie before I went. You can over-analyze movies and this one should just be Enjoyed with a capital E! Have fun watching it. My husband and I are going back to see it again this weekend.

Friday 4/25/08 My husband and I went and saw it again today. It was just as funny and enjoyable the 2nd viewing. We went to Barnes and Noble afterwards and bought the soundtrack. I love the songs by the Coconutz. I have been telling everyone how good this movie is. My husband agrees with me that the characters that are in the movie are very real and you get ""attached"" to them. Hard to explain without ruining the movie but we loved the characters....all the supporting cast was great as well as the superb leading characters. We might have to see it a third time tomorrow!

"While the special effects are excellent, there is were so many instances where the realism just wasn't there. When they get the basic science this absurdly wrong, it's just too much for me to suspend my disbelief. It's too bad, because they could have easily avoided these issues. Stuff like an entire lake freezing within less than 5 seconds, meanwhile the crash survivors are standing around with their heads and hands bare and not suffering from hypothermia or frostbite. In an earthlike atmosphere (which this is, since they are able breathe the air) things simply don't work this way. I mean REALLY?!? It's just laughably bad, and that was only in the first 20 minutes of the first episode: it continues like this with one absurdity after another. I watched two episodes, hoping it would get better, but it was just so eye-rollingly bad that I couldn't continue. Three stars for the sets/effects, zero for the plausibility.",3
You can't put a rat that saves the heroes and call it best movie,4
"I cannot understand reviews based on 1 or 2 episodes. You need to get half way through a series before you.can judge it. For the Marvel fans, think back to how Agents Of Shield wasnt very good until after Winter Soldier came out. This is the same. The 1st few episodes are set as a sitcom from a certain age. Episode 1 is the 60s, episode 2, the 70s etc. And their setup is the same as the programs that they are following. There are hints that something is not quite right all the way through, and if you stick with it, you get the pay off big time. Comic book fans just have to think of House Of M. This series is amazing and it's getting better and darker each week. Ignore the reviews of people after 1 episode. Watch it. It's awesome.",9
"I am now convinced that the IMDB rating system is going the way of Amazon where the ratings are being ""stuffed"" to boost sales...This movie is pure crap. I loved that Adam Sandler attempted a new character however, this film made him nothing more than a screaming Jewish hipster for 2.5 hours. He had zero character arc - he never got better or worse or developed or anything - just a screaming Jewish hipster and it got old. Really, it's the fault of the scriptwriter and Directors - this was just a zero of a story with no plotline whatsover so how is the Howard Ratner character ever going to experience anything worth following? There was nothing to root for - nothing funny, Nothing dramatic. There was no goal to achieve or action to accomplish. Just a bunch of bit parts for Kevin Garnett and ""The Weekend"" to show up and win a couple 10 star reviews from kids who have no idea how awful this movie is. Garnett did surprise me with his performance. I thought he played himself very well - it's just a shame he was trapped in this abortion of a movie that is so bad that I will be pissed off for weeks after wasting my time in watching it!",2

"What can be better than watching Kung Fu Panda 2? Watching it in 3D, of course! The 'awesomeness' of the movie pops right out (pardon the pun).

With the involvement of so many voice talents, including the triple J's (Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan), Van Damme 'The Muscle From Brussel', Charlie's Angel Lucy Liu and legendary actor Dustin Hoffman, it is no wonder that the entire animated film scores wonderfully BIG on the family 'fun' scale. I could hear kids' laughter resonating throughout the theater the entire time (adults too).

I think DreamWorks Animation is fast establishing itself as THE leader in developing novel materials that explore new grounds, which will ultimately attract new audiences around the globe (from the Hollywood perspective).

Hopefully, for the next installation, acclaimed director Lee Ang can be roped in to inject more 'pow wow' spin to the entire Kung Fu Panda franchise and boost it to even greater heights.",8

I'd rather watch Iron Man or Thor again and again till i learn them by heart than see a single new episode of this.",1
movie tempo was quick and the music made it very bizarre! It could have been a good movie without this music.There was not enough dialogue and it was all action and action. Tom Cruze seemed to be not taking it seriously and was always smiling. But it was fun after all. It would have been to mention this is a true story. I saw none.,4
"I can't say I've enjoyed it as much. Although it's exceedingly long, it's not the production or casting (both are particularly good); it is the story. Beth character is nothing but a cheesy mixture of Czentovic and Dr. B. from the 1941 masterpiece 'Chess Novelle' (Chess Story or The Royal Game) by Stefan Zweig. Unfortunately, Tevis's story has too many loopholes which makes this whole thing nothing but another superhero action.",6
"With Venom: Let There Be Carnage coming out in The UK tomorrow, I thought that I had to go back and watch the original Venom film which I have only seen once before and here is my review for it. The premise of the film sees a struggling reporter bonded with an alien parasite who have to save the world.

Main Character Tom Hardy plays Eddie Brock and he does a decent job here. You can tell he is fully committed and giving everything to the role and because he is a good actor it mostly pays off. It's not one of his best performances but he has a bit of charm and humour to him that does enough and his interactions with Venom is the highlight of the film. Hardy also voices Venom and is really good at it, the dynamic between the two of them is really good and I just wish there was more of it in this film.

Supporting Characters Michelle Williams plays a romantic foil for Eddie Brock and I just couldn't get invested in her as a character. The dynamic between her and Hardy is just never there for me and it just feels like that there has to be a love interest but they didn't put much time and effort into it. Riz Ahmed plays a bad guy and honestly, I have never been a huge fan of his and he is just really bland in this film. This is a mixture of poor writing and a weak performance that doesn't hold up against Hardy who is really trying. This cast is so small and unfortunately, apart from Venom and Eddie there are no character that stands out.

Story The story is also a mess, things just don't make sense and none of it is interesting at all. The bad guys plan doesn't add up and the plot is really not given the focus that it needs. It takes way too long to get to the meat of it and even then it doesn't do enough to keep your interest.

Script The script actually has some funny moments, the dialogue between Eddie and Venom is decent and thank goodness for that because the drama is poor. The relationship drama doesn't work and the conflict between our protagonist and antagonist is not done well to say the least.

Style Venom himself looks great, the CGI is really good and I really like how large he is compared to the previous iteration that we saw in Spider-Man 3. Some of the action scenes are decent as well, but I do wish they could have pushed the violence a bit more as it seems a bit tame for Venom. The pacing for the film is a bit all over the place too, it takes too long for Venom to actually come on screen with the film being quite short, it doesn't use its time effectively.

Overall Overall, Venom is a below average film. Tom Hardy really tries but the rest of the cast aren't great and the story is all over the place so lets hope the sequel will be better.

Rating - 4/10.",4
"I enjoyed most of this show, I found most of the episodes entertaining and intriguing. However, some of them are quite dull and some of them frankly way too short to get anything of substance out of them. Overall, good show.",6
"When this was first release and even when the trailer was released i could wait to go and see this film. As the time passed i never got a chance to see it at the cinema. With the reviews raving and everyone i knew who had seen it telling me its the best, i had to give it some time. Nearly 3 years of time!

First things first i cannot say this is a bad movie, Taika Waititi is one of a small selection of directors and writers that are able to convey such hilarity next to such horror. That certainly delivers here! As you think the story is flowing nicely that everything will end up ok and then bam we are hit with a sucker punch moment that doesn't derail the story but shows truly how bad it was. The pure satire of this movie is not lost on me, never finding much of the stupidity of the film funny but just shaking my head that so many people were able to believe this in real life. The whole film is centered around the boy and his imaginary friend of Hitler that he believes is the true maniac. There are so many details throughout this film showing how little the German public actually knew about Hitler. The stand out is the dinner table scene with him eating all the finest meats but Hitler was a vegetarian!

The propaganda machine certainly done its job right throughout the war with nearly everyone involved saying that Germany was winning the war and ready to fight until the last child, yes child! The Hitler youth were inducted into the front lines when Hitler killed himself and thats not changing here.

Stand out performance from Sam Rockwell is scarily accurate of how a small town German offical might have behaved during the end but overall its a film that has many layers to it. People who dont know much else will find it funny, others will find it stupid and then theres the cases of not truly understanding the film but understanding that this was something that could and most likely have happened during the closing years of WW2.",7

1. The dialouge sucks: When the characters talk to each other it is difficult to hear what they are both saying. Is it an attempt to make it more realistic? Maybe, but if so it failed because people do not have full conversations on top of each other without stopping to let the other person finish.

2. Random nude scenes Lady Gaga is naked twice in this movie, fo no appearent reason. There is a full body shot of her naked body. Why? This isnt game of thrones, no one needed or expected nudity, its very out of place for a movie like this.

3. Plot is inconsistent It is hard to explain, but the movie makes no sense. When does this all take place? How many years, months or even weeks have passed? And the storyline about Bradley Coopers family is just barely explored. I would have felt much more compassion if I copletely knew the relationship between his brother, father and him. But they just barely talk about it, so it makes no sense and adds less than it is supposed to to the story.

4. The ending is weird and out of place The ending is a ""plot twist"" of some sorts, but it just happens. With no build up, no real reason and no explanation. What the hell?

5. Cringe moments Dont like romantic cringe moments, dont watch this movie",2
"Although i thought that Loki's development went a little too fast in the first couple of episodes, it evened out and left off with a really great finale that nicely sets up another season.",8
"Has everyone forgotten about GoT! Everything was great about it: acting, story, longevity but this show is aweful! Won t watch season 2. I believe this series is only a money grab! No real artistic value! It contains poor acting, story is so cliche, the production is visibly cheap - they only throw in some dragone scences and that's it! How's that supposed to make a series?

I also think Mr. Martin didn't right it. He's just ""consulted"" as he says. Just imagine this series had no link to the famous Game if Thrones. Noone would have watched it! No one! I don't recommend this to anyone! Don't waste your time!",1

"I found The Boys to be quite enjoyable and really, really wanted to like this show. I don't have Amazon anymore but my friend wanted to watch it so we did together.

I am pretty dissapointed... I feel like they want the viewers, especially young adults and late teens to relate to the characters, but they just arent relatable...

It feels like a teen drama with a ""special quirky sad girl"" trope. While it is not really simmiliar to riverdale, I felt the same way watching it. It's not so bad that it deserves a 1 star review, I'd give it a 3 because its watchable, but since its a part of The Boys universe I think we should hold it to a higher standard than some random teenage drama.

Not an extremely terrible show, but not for fans of The Boys.",1
"One would think the show runners learned something from GOT season 8. And so they did, hot dragon lady sells so why not duplicate it?

Welcome to hot dragon lady v.2.1. Who are the other people in this story you ask? They are weak and ignorant, they aren't even worth a red wedding. All you want is hot dragon lady v 2.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice. Eh the point being if you got hot blonds content don't matter.

The only other highlight is Mat Smith from Dr Who. Or as you kids know him from the ""Morbid time"" meme. He plays as the most unsympathetic character you could ever imagen. After watching the first episode I just wanted everyone to die. But sadly they don't.",1
"""A Beautiful Mind"" is safe, conservative, Hollywood pap. It's not challenging, interesting, or even remotely intellectually satisfying. The film ""confronts"" schizophrenia by sugarcoating the truth with take-my-breath-away, ""Sixth Sense""-style revelations following straightforward (and egregiously inaccurate) visual hallucinations. The film claims that a scrambled mind can use that scrambled mind to unscramble it with the support and love of a good woman. It's an inexcusable lie, and irresponsible with respect to the truly horrific reality of schizophrenia. The film picked the perfect formula: take a real man's story, strip away everything but his name, pretend to deal with a deep issue (like mental illness), alter it to make it more palatable to mainstream audiences, slap on a happy ending, and open your arms for a slew of awards. It is mushy, manipulative tripe and the worst Best Picture in recent memory.",6
"I just need to say that I am so freaking tired of watching garbage. Today's entertainment has become so banal and cringe worthy I don't know why I keep coming back hoping to find a gem. Well it is not this snoozefest. And Nicole Kidman has completely ruined her looks trying to hold back time. I don't know what the purpose of the series is supposed to be about? It's just peolpe talking and drinking with no rhyme of reason to the dialog. I guess the main theme is Kidman losing her most irritating child Gus, but from what we see of Gus he will not be missed. Rich people and their maids and their spoiled kids, with Gus at the head of the line. Do yourself a favor and pass on by this train wreck.",3
"Some tremendous ideas here, as with everything written by Alex Garland. But the film is a complete mess, particularly the final third, which was almost comical at times. The CGI simply couldn't match up to the imagination of the writer - very little looked remotely real, and I found myself getting annoyed with it towards the end - desperate to finish the movie, simply to have the answers to my questions. I'd be staggered if any of the pseudo science is remotely possible, therefore it didn't seem believable. Anything with Natalie Portman in it is usually good - but not on this occasion. A miss.",2
"The wait is over, the two mavericks, Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane have done it with ""Sacred Games"". The Indian TV has become obsolete, it lacks creativity and has zero plausibility for the niche and edgy content lovers.

Thanks to the likes of Netflix, Amazon etc, who are delivering the shows from the corners of the world and catering to the audience who wants intelligent content. Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane collaborated with Netflix and explored their creative sovereignty which was restricted earlier. We can witness the fathomless creativity of Kashyap & Motwane when no strings are attached and the result is one hell of a performance, they never shied.

""Sacred Games"" based on Vikram Chandra's novel of the same name. It has been adapted beautifully, an eight-part series does comprehensive justice to the multilayered characters and plot. The writing is immaculate and the development of characters is top-notch. The ticking background score keeps you on the edge and plot revelations are perfectly timed. The transition between the two timelines is seamless, the editing does a wonderful work here.

The transformation of Bombay to Mumbai is spectacular, the gritty setting, costumes, props, locations, and milieus have attention to details. The production value is higher than most Bollywood movies, every scene looks stunning and rich.

Saif Ali Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Radhika Apte, Neeraj Kabi, Jitendra Joshi, Girish Kulkarni, Jatin Sharma, everyone has done a trailblazing job. I don't need to say anything more about the performances, it is just magnificent watching every actor doing their part phenomenally.

""Sacred Games"" raises the bar very high, it is the first Indian Netflix original series and more to come.

Kudos. Waiting for Season 2",9
Now this actually the Best spiderman movie at least in my opinion this movie the follows the struggle of Peter Parker managing his personal and superhero life that narrative is awesome the villian doctor octopus is just as great as green goblin if not better harry Osborn is also pretty great in this movie j Jonah Jameson is funny as hell and this movie is a paradise for memes I mean rewatching this movie was like watching a meme compilation one of the problems I had with the original spiderman was cgi but I am glad that this is fixed in this movie cgi still holds up to this date and the train scene oh yeah but this movie still has flaws like this is still very cheesy have some pointless character like that astronaut what was his name again the screaming woman in this movie is so annoying and Mary Jane Watson is being really rude to parker which is not comic book accurate but these flaws are just neat picks.,9
"The title says it all really, its a good fanatsy show, but it just differs so much from the books. There are things this show did better then books and vice versa. I still think if they were going to make a show thats basically just the books but filmed it would make a better show, but thats just my opinion. I also completely understand why are some people mad about the show, since at the beggining we were all expecting the latter, but now with season 2 out people are starting to realize that this show is really just ""inspired"" by them. In my opinion the books are much better written then the show.",7
"Depicting the pain, mental torture and physical torture of the slave trade is a daunting task, I believe Steve McQueen gave it a good effort. I my self will never know what it was like being a slave in those times, but Solomon Northup did. His story is such an important piece of history as not many slaves ever had the chance to tell there story. Through research Solomon's story that McQueen depicted is accurate, but I believe it could have been even more accurate. For example, the first scene never even happed, and I don't think Solomon would have wanted a movie based on his story to have added in things especially a scene being unfaithful to his wife. Lots of historical films tend to skip over the violence or cut it just before something violent happens to leave you to fill in the blanks, but 12 years a slave shows the violence and pain these innocent people had to endure, which I believe should be done. People's eyes need to be opened to the good and bad of history. I think McQueen made a good choice using Solomons story to make a film. It's a rare piece of history since many slaves could not read or write and Solomon wanted his story told so he could make a difference overall the story was done well and got a message across.

The acting in this movie was top notch the actors took the importance of these characters seriously and depicted the emotion and personality of each character very well. Everything looked very accurate to what history has told us about slavery in terms of the clothing the beautiful places that these horrendous acts took place. The film was very well shot the cameraman and director took unique shots. I found it interesting how they would shoot a scene full of pain the shoot a shot of the beautiful Georgia landscape. Overall this film was very well done,",8
"Louis Leterrier's thriller bases itself around the concepts of misdirection, showmanship, deceit and ultimately, the power of magic to stun and confound an audience, leaving them wondering at just how the feats that they have witnessed have been pulled off. Jesse Eisenberg's Daniel Atlas invites our fullest attention, claiming ""the closer you look, the less you see"", in an opening gambit that promises intrigue and suspense, which also acts as a (possibly) unintentional device for viewer reaction, namely, will we be taken in and wowed by what we are about to witness.

Any film of this type is likely to bring about comparisons to Christopher Nolan's excellently dark 2006 thriller ""The Prestige"", with the on screen presence of Michael Caine only serving to reinforce such correlations. However, where Nolan's effort looks to explore behind the façade and mysterious surface of the tricks presented, ""Now You See Me"" chooses to shy away from much that could be seen as real explanations, instead allowing a high paced caper to take place, largely centred around the cat and mouse chase between the four conjurers and the law enforcement team led by the slightly unbelievable pairing of Mark Ruffalo's exaggerated sceptical field agent Dylan Rhodes, and Mélanie Laurent's inexperienced desk agent Alma Dray. This immediately takes the film tonally away from the territory of ""The Prestige"", thus placing it firmly in its own space, but leaves the viewer pondering upon the potential lack of substance that shying away from the deeper explanations may indicate.

However, as the 115 run time of the movie progresses, it becomes clear that to dissect and over analyse every move of the twisting narrative is clearly not the point of this film, and as such, the best way to approach it may be to simply sit back and enjoy the tumult of events as they unfurl before your eyes. The 100mph plot rarely takes a break to allow for reflexion, preferring to let the A-list cast take centre stage, with performances admittedly sometimes bordering on the edge of credibility, Morgan Freeman's disgraced ex-magician Thadeus Bradley being a case in point, in a demonstration which, in the end seeks not to deceive, but instead to entertain.

Undeniably, the film does fall down in certain aspects, such as a shaky script, and the lack of depth which wont allow the audience to ""see more"" on repeat viewings, but, in a summer dominated by comic book heroes and city-levelling CGI, ""Now You See Me"" at least offers an entertaining alternative watch which can be largely enjoyable, so long as the obvious thematic comparisons which have been made to more accomplished past films are not kept in mind for too long.",6
"Specifically wrote this for the reviewer in my title who clearly thinks because he found an average QT movie a pure masterpiece when others recognised it for what it was, a great acted movie with some very good scenes, but suckered everyone in (like him) by putting every big name in Hollywood in it and forgetting to write a worthy plot. That we are simpletons. People like you make me laugh, you watch a few films and think you know more and are better than everyone else. Get of your high horse, you clearly don't know as much as you think, you probably rate everything 10 cause even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Anyway good movie. Wouldn't pay to watch at cinema. Not QTs finest hour. But great performance from Dicaprio and Pitt.",6
"OK- don't get me wrong this was a groundbreaking movie. However I have some serious problems with it.

First the good. The action scenes and special effects are awesome. They really did set new standards and knocked that hackneyed load of tripe The Phantom menace into the bin. The ending is also fantastic- there is no way that an ending this perfect was meant to be followed by two mediocre sequels

However, The plot is more full of holes than a fishnet stocking. For instance- I know this is nit picking- but how can Cypher be betraying the crew when not only do they have to plug him into the matrix for him to go and meet the agents in the first instance, but are also monitoring said conversation.

Secondly- the philosophical parts. The matrix basically asks the question is it better to live the dream. The flaw comes in that in this case it is quite clearly better- great, so mankind is not ""free"" but each person lives a sufficiently realistic existence inside their own head for it not to matter. If the alternative is living in fear and squalor, dodging sentinels whilst eating what looks like congealed semen then I would frankly rather live inside my own dreams dining on fine food etc.

Next up, the acting. Could someone please explain to me how Keanu Reeves is a leading man. He single handedly trashes all the good work put in by the supporting cast- especially Laurence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving. Anyway how can I be expected to take a film seriously where Keanu is effectively god?

Overall, a reasonable film but not the second coming of Christ so many people think it is.",4
"I will limit my review to one scene as many people here have given very in depth and concise reviews of the film as a whole.

My scene of choice is ""the blind lire assassin"". (one of the two fighters that use stringed instruments)...

Firstly, there is a scene that primes you for the sort of skill these guys have. A man walks past one of the players as he tunes his instrument, what happens next is what I would class as one of the top primes for an upcoming scene ever. As the music plays you see various subtle interactions between the music and the power it holds. Twigs and leaves are cut, eves are disturbed and foliage is russelled. This ends with a fatal chord.

Let me just review this. The setting for this scene is awesome, the colours and lighting in combination with the CGI and camera angles are something to aspire to. The music is given a physical presence by the magic of film. Just the concept realisation that a musical instrument when played can be a deadly weapon is something the western world would never conceive of nor dare to use in a film, makes this scene and the main musical battle scene one of the best realised moments in film ever.

I have never seen 30 seconds of better designed film in my life unless i discount the main musical battle scene. The main scene I just will not describe. You will have to see it to understand how near to perfection it is.

Hollywood has a long way to go to match what HongKong is doing with CGI and 35mm now. The only difference is that Hollywood can out hype all other production communities in the world. Lets face it. What America produces in film, it has already sold by ramming it down our throats for the months leading up to the release.

HK will some day outstrip the US in the film world. It has only to master the English language. This film is a sharp poke in the ribs for all of those fat yanks raking in your money for ""Any film, part 1 thru 8 the sequel""",9

"But outside of the same names and names such familiar things such as the Oasis, NOTHING is like the book. Basically they took out all of the intelligent thought from the book and substituted video game action scenes for it.

yes if you give inspiring art materials to Sony Animation Pictures, with Marvel's support, you can make beautiful transitions However, there's a problem with some of the pacing

There's also the fact that Miller & Lord haven't paid their original muses.

An unfortunate reality of the 'art industry' i suppose, he who publishes first lays claim

"The Coen brothers always come up with hits (for instance, Raising Arizona) but this time, they bring us to the deep north (North Dakota that is) to showcase a very well made movie with suspenseful scenes, interesting acting and many other things, ya know.

The film plot involves a car salesman who is very insecure (played very well by Macy) and who wants to snuff his wife out. So, he hires a duo to kidnap her (the duo is probably the best of the year by Steve Buscemi as a wisecracking killer, and Peter Stormare as a un-talkative killer) and eventually kill her. But what he doens't know is that a pregnant police officer (played in an Oscar winning role by Frances McDormand) is on the case to find out what's going on.

This is just the tip of the woodchipper in this creative, ingenious, and wonderful (though odd) murder mystery in Fargo, ND. So, kudos to the Coen brothers for delivering what is most likely the best film of 1996.",10
A confused mess of a film. Authentic yes but it really needed a firmer hand on this tiller.,6
"Thankfully this show did not go down the anti-nuclear route and sensationalized the whole event, it pretty much stuck to the facts as we know it. Ok there was some dramatic license taken with the court case and legasovs final denouement, and of course the creation of the fictional female scientist, but in large it was very accurate. Particularly impressive was the reconstruction of the liquidators on the roof, watch the real videos and you will see how accurate they tried to portray the events. But perhaps the most impressive part of the show was how they managed to explain the accident, it's not a simple thing and TV (and certainly movies) often grossly simplify complex events, but they took it on brilliantly and despite lots of books on the subject this is probably the best lay mans explanation there is.",9
This film was made just to please india with very wrong portrait of Bangladesh,1
"Criticism of the English accents in other reviews are fair but it is such an interesting study of what can go wrong Top Down, yes , Soviet style management. We have it here too. I find this to be realistic and very compelling. The dialogue and transitions from scene to scene and their chronology is well done logical. If you watch a mini series and find yourself looking forward to the next episode I'd say it's pretty good. Original , good writing , doesn't follow a formula.",8
Such a good show. The show itself does start slow but the continuing action just keeps coming with really good story. Soundtrack is amazing and adds so much. If I have to give a description of the show. It has the aesthetic of My chemical Romances danger days album. Anyway it's fun refreshing and a new take on super hero's I enjoyed very much!,9
"I had high hopes for this one, but those hopes have been dashed. If Teresa Palmer were only a supporting character, I might feel differently, but she delivers her lines as those she's just been handed the script. There is no emotion, inflection, or intelligence given to her character. She reminds me of Kristen Stewart in Twilight and that is not a compliment. Honestly, I am listening to her as I write and I am cringing at her lines. There are so many good actors in this one that it baffles me that the main character is so bad. Valerie Pettiford, Alex Kingston, and Louise Brealey are the saving graces here.",3

"Ok, yes, no doubt visually captivating. The underwater scenes are sublime. The 2nd hour is the most tedious time I've spent in a cinema though. Cameron says he wanted time to explore the characters more, given this wasn't done in the 1st, however, he jumps into doing this but it feels rushed. The film didn't need 3hrs+ to do all of this. We're just meant to accept that Jake's avatar has babies with an alien and that's that. It was overlong, boring and ultimately bland. Folks who aren't regular cinema goers will flock to this in droves and probably will enjoy it. It's a popcorn flick that attempts to bring emotion but in the end it is an emotionless, vast blue pit of nothingness. Oh, and don't get me started on the villain....",4

"Great movie. Great casting. Margot Robbie as barbie is just beautiful and Ryan Gosling as ken is just amazing. A fresh movie with humour and sarcasm directly on society. Watch only if you can handle the tone of sarcasm. Ending can be confusing, it depends on your view, I was expecting rather different ending that maybe baribe would go other way but it is subjective. Watch if you want to experience a fresh sarcasm blast on thinking on society. At some point it feels like the points are targeted at only one person but it is not.

Beauty of Margot is really amazing. It is truly amazing to watch her as barbie.",8

Nothing happens for 2 hours and 10 minutes! And then absolute ungratuitous violence without any rhyme or reason. What a waste of 2 hours and 30 minutes of my life. Tarantino is not to be trusted especially after the droning pointless dialogue of the hateful 8. I will be sceptical about any of his future output. As a long standing fan I am disappointed.,3

"Yes! Believe it or not, a SEQUEL topped the original! This movie didn't suffer the what I like to call ""the sequel curse"" as so many other movies do.

Spiderman is back with more web slinging fun as he takes on Doc Oct who's once again destroying New York.

Once again the cast is superb. Acting is wonderful, the plot is fantastic, and the ending is an actual ending!! As the time passes, the movie only gets better and better.

I had my doubts about a second Spiderman, but was completely wrong.

"I am been the biggest fan of Tarantino movies since the 90's. I wanted to see this movie so badly that I nagged all my friends endlessly to see it as soon as it came out. Now I'm embarrassed that I did that. I felt I had to apologize to them for taking them to a this movie. Every single movie he has ever made, he has built characters that you can invest in, that you care about. This is not the case with this movie. There is no story line or any time spent on any of the characters to any extent that you would care about them. The characters in past Tarantino's movies have always have a goal that each one was reaching for. It may be small or maybe large and/or insignificant but it was a goal. The characters in this movie seemed to be just floating. I think their biggest goal was driving around LA and having a beer at the end of the day. It starts to work when Leo's character talks to the child character about his place in acting but they don't take it any further. And the same with Brad Pitt's character who starts to feel anger toward the manson family but then it doesn't go any further. Everything just fizzles out. Hell I even started the care about the dog and I wish he was in the movie more. Take the dog to the manson ranch. I mean there is one gratifying scene but only one. I can't think of any movie from Tarantino's past that only had one gratifying scene that you're totally invested in and/or have some satisfaction or enjoyment after it's done....until now. The music is great but I wanna scream that I was rob of a Tarantino experience.",5
"First season will surely get you glued to the seat but season 2 sort of gets off the track and action scenes have been put in intentionally to make things exciting but unfortunately the beginning of season 2 seems unrealistic and goes off the theme.

"I was waiting for a movie that won't use shaky camera shots and non-stop of close ups that can be inpresive but can also ruin small parts of the movie...Acting is amazing with non of the actors makeing mistakes.

"Today I left the cinema with mixed feelings. When I saw the first trailer of this movie I was excited, because I like the urban fantasy setting of the Harry Potter universe. Unfortunately Fantastic Beasts couldn't convince me completely. One big positive factor of the movie is the cast. Eddie Redmayne acts great and incarnate perfectly Newt as a sympathetic protagonist. Also the rest of the cast is suitable and sympathetic. I want to emphasize Dan Fogler who plays his role glorious. The charm of the magic was again very well captured. The self-stirring spoon in the cocoa and the many other small details are very coherent and convey this typical Harry Potter Flair. Also very good is the sound (no I don't mean the music) of this movie. I think this is a big reason to watch this movie in theaters, because the sound mixing is great for the big screen (more for the big Hi Fi equipment). So watch this movie in theaters if you have the possibility, because technically it is solid. Some of the audience I watch with didn't like the CGI effects, but in my opinion it was good. Not great, just good and fitting. The narration in the whole movie was the big con for me. The movie has this inconsequent narration. The main problem is that the film tells the two action strings too parallel, so they won 't fix well. Through this, the film becomes too predictable and loses some of its strength. The beginning scene was misleadingly and out of the context, for people who won't read the book. Here, too much was done according to the typical Hollywood formula. The story is pushed too strongly in one direction and the narrative speed is a bit too leisurely for my taste. The whole film would have done 15 to 20 minutes less well. So I promised myself more and I missed something that makes this movie special. With this strong template in the back and the big cast I would have just expected a more rounded movie which sticks out of the mass. I give Fantastic Beasts 7/10, because it is an entertaining movie, with a strong cast, but the narration issues made it a typical Hollywood movie. Not great, not bad, just good. Watch it but don't expect something mind blowing.",6
"Was looking forward to this but must say found it very disappointing.. They tried too hard to make Venom funny .. I don't mind the odd comical side to his personality but when every word he speaks is him trying to be funny just becomes abit tedious and makes him pretty lame ... it's VENOM he isn't a stand up comedian he's supposed to be feared.. they need to tone it down for his next showing

Couldn't wait for the movie to ending all honesty.",3
"Saw it only after checking the IMDb-score, and that I regret. One of the worst movies I've seen for a long time. I didn't really expect much from Keanu Reeves, to familiar with his minimalistic vocabulary, but after The Matrix you really hope for another sudden flash of geniality, don't you? This wasn't one of them.

Storyline: Sucks. Straight forward from initial offense until final revenge. Could have ended several times before that, but that would have made the movie 25 minutes instead of 100. Which perhaps wouldn't be that bad... Some details are also completely lacking all sense of logic which is terribly annoying, but convenient for Mr Wick.

Action: Without any variation what so ever. Running and shooting at everyone with a red or cerise shirt under his jacket, being lucky that even when there's 20 opponents all of them wait for one another to try his luck killing Mr Wick. That makes it one clean kill after the other. Some exploding cars, a small fire, but otherwise just gunshots from close distance. Hundreds of them.

John Wick: For the first 20 minutes I nearly thought it could be a decent action movie. A heartbroken man that doesn't seem so heartbroken. More chronically depressed. He stays in that mode the rest of the film, and there's actually nothing cool about Mr Wick. No style or surprising skills. Just walking around shooting at everything, hardly speaking.

Music: Terrible and annoying. Rap, metal or whatever, that doesn't fit at all.

End: Unbelievably uncool and unrealistic. The ending climax/revenge is also totally without excitement or ""goal""-feeling. Just passes by.

PUNCHLINE: Don't waste your time on this movie. See something else. Even grab a movie you just saw that you liked. My girlfriend was actually getting rather depressed and annoyed after half the movie, and stayed in that mode for the rest of it (apart from a few laughs out of frustration from how unrealistic or uncool some scenes actually where). She didn't even mention how it ended but immediately left the sofa and started brushing her teeth in anger. Now, three days later she's forgiven me for dragging the movie into our home, as I promised her it would leave us with the trash bag, and that she could choose the next 10 movies we'll see together. That's pretty much all you need to know.",3
"Drives me crazy to watch shows that have a character who is pregnant constantly hold onto their belly! Is this something that the directors are asking the actors to do? Seriously, holding onto their belly like it's a ball about to drop. I find it so distracting. It seems to be the thing nowadays. Not just in TV and movies but social media too. Enough already.",8
"The movie stands on a strong and unpredictable plot with some awesome acting arts by none other than the beautiful Jennifer Lawrence. This includes her change in accent, the expressions and calmness. I rate this movie 8 out of 10 for its uncommon plot and terrific acting.",8
Great film to watch.you should watch movie only if you are a fan of srk it was sad that this film didn't succeed in box office. Although it has some flaws and second half was very unrealistic but every film has some flaws and it is better than many of salman khan movies.,10
The movie trivia! Star Wars are common when it comes to fiction ...,1
"Season 2 lost all the joy & heart of characters like hazel, cha-cha, agnes, pogo & robot grace. the characters are repetitively whinny, childish, annoying & constantly fighting each other. new addition lila is unlikeable. storyline of reginald hargreeves is just erratic & makes no sense. the handler now seems like an over the top effie trinket parody. could have given the swedish guys so much better storyline. and the klaus behaviours are getting old & tiring to watch.",6
"Tarantino has lost his touch.

This movie has a start studded cast, and meanders through a pointless 135 minutes before coming to a 15 minute climax.",5
The movie is basically how someone get up from a break up from a very bad relation.,7
"Apparently the last 40 mins are great (if you like action sequences) but I walked out after an hour because it was so boring - incomprehensible plot, silly characters, wooden acting. How can lazy film making like this attract such big budgets and get such good reviews?",1
"Venom: Let There Be Carnage is an improvement over the original film in practically every aspect. Each of the side characters have more to do, the humor is a lot less cringe, the VFX are better, and the action is more clear. The story itself is more engaging too because there's a lot less exposition needed this time around but that doesn't mean it wasn't a bit underwhelming. Director Andy Serkis wanted the movie to feel like a rollercoaster; a wild ride that ramps up and ends without being too drawn out. He managed to succeed in that idea but the origin of Carnage felt half baked for such a fan favorite Marvel character. A large reason for that is the heavy focus on Brock's complicated relationship with Venom. Although the chemistry worked a lot better than in the original movie, audiences had already seen it before. Carnage deserved much more screentime because he's one of the biggest draws to the sequel and is extremely interesting in his own right. The entire cast did a phenomenal job portraying their respective roles but some regurgitated plot points from the first movie are done here too such as Symbiote vs Symbiote, Venom and Eddie's strained bond, etc only done better. If you are a fan of Marvel or Venom/Carnage this movie is definitely worth a watch but if you aren't this movie might not change your thoughts on the superhero genre as a whole. It's worth noting the end credit scene is an 11/10 though.",6
"Only the fans so far up Marvels butt could enjoy this boring show. Production quality is good, but the pacing is just awful. I'm sure it will get a 2nd season but in no way would I sit through any more of this.",1
"I can't begin to describe how bad this film is. It ruins beloved characters. Its less than 2 hours yet drags on forever. The fights were cgi cluster messes and the usual MCU humour was absent, and the few jokes were really poor. Nothing interesting happens.

Also the plot... what plot? Its scene after scene of characters spouting exposition.

This film should have been a fun thrill ride through the multiverse. But instead its a mess.",2
"The story was a fantasy, not plausible in any way - yet this movie was fun. This was the first time I'd seen an Indian film, at the urging of someone who has already seen it twice (she is a big Shah Rukh Khan fan). It's quite different in every way from the American films I've always seen, but very entertaining and had almost every type of movie one can imagine all rolled into one film: action, drama, romance, musical and comedy. Some of the acting was a bit ""hammed up"", but was still right for the material. The woman who played Lucky's mom was quite good. I liked the Matrix references and how it was done in an obvious way, more of a fun ""hats off""(let's look like what they did in Matrix) instead of merely copying. Even though I speak English and no Hindi, I easily followed along with the story and had no problem with the subtitles. This was a long movie (3 hours), yet time flew. The end of the movie was touching with the exchange (don't want to spoil it) and loads of ""real people"" cast in the parts. At the very end the credits were fun, too, with the cast and crew holding up different signs with their names - if these people didn't have a great time doing this film, they fooled me! I'd say this film is good for most all ages. Even though there are loads of pretty girls, nothing seems too suggestive and seemed more in fun. I left feeling good and as if I had honestly been entertained. Good work!",7
"If I had to use one word to describe this movie it would be thrilling: it just keeps going on a on without ever slowing down and it is constantly involving, I was genuinely on th edge of my seat for most of the movie. All the cast is doing a great job: highlights apart form Chris Evans for me would be Scarlett Joansson and Sebasian Stan, giving a great presence by using just the eyes. The set-pieces are breathtaking and they are used for great action scenes which always carry on the storytelling with them, never did they feel useless. The story is very intricated yet it never confuses you or takes you out of it, but there is some great stuff left there for multiple viewings that I loved. Special effects are flawless as always from Marvel Studios and the character design for the winter soldier was wonderful. I do think that the first action sequence is very messy and has some poor cinematography, all around the first five to ten minutes of the movie didn't feel like the best opening but anyways it picked up quickly after. I do think the story takes a couple of minor shortcuts that bothered me, but in the end the plot was very well thought out and the storytelling was most definitely successful. I will have to see this movie another one or two times to fully enjoy it and I mean that in a positive way. As comic book geek I cannot thanks Marvel enough for all of the fan service there was in this movie, these are the things that make me happily freak out and that make comic book movies great for me. Post credit scene was good enough but not the best I have ever seen.",8
"i might be in the minority here but i was not blown away by this film.don't get me wrong.i enjoyed,ans it's well made,and has an interesting concept(the art of stealing a person's secrets from their subconscious while they are dreaming.but to me,it didn't(or couldn't) live up to the hype.it has its good point.it isn't boring and the acting is first rate,especially by Leonardo DiCaprio.i liked the look of the film too.many people i know have said it was so complex that they had to watch it more than once to understand it.i don't agree.i didn't find it complex at all.think it's well worth watching,but like i said,It just had too much hype to live up to.but that's just me opinion.for me,Inception is a 7/10",7
"Picking up on plot seeds sown in Age of Ultron, Captain America: Civil War pits Earth's Mightiest Heroes against each other. Adapting the iconic comic book run of the same name, Civil War gives fans the answer to their favorite hero vs. Hero hypotheticals. Acting as an Avenger 2.5, heroes from every corner of the MCU are drawn together in a Civil War of dueling ideals.

On a mission in Lagos, the Avengers accidentally screw up a mission while apprehending the Hydra mercenary Crossbones (Frank Grillo). Alongside the list of other collateral damages caused by the heroes, the Sokovia Accords are created to keep superheroes in check. When a global disaster is seemingly caused by the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), the Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), takes matters into his own hands. Splitting the Avengers for and against supporting the Accords, Captain America (Chris Evans) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) lead their teams in a Civil War for the Avengers.

Captain America: Civil War is one of the most enjoyable comic book films of all time. While it deviates heavily from the source material, it perfectly captures the world of the comics, balancing its massive cast with a well-crafted and compelling story. Consistently charming, the cast of the MCU upholds charismatic and personable performances, keeping audiences further invested in their self-destructive battle. Featuring some of the best fight scenes in the saga, Civil War creatively utilizes the abilities of each hero and strategically sets them up for intriguing battles.

Though the villain Baron Zemo (Daniel Brühl) is no physical threat to the Avengers, his strategic manipulation showcases a new kind of enemy for the team. His motivations and revelations create a compelling foe and the damage he does has lasting ramifications on the MCU as a whole. While he pulls strings behind the scenes, the true drama comes from within the team, as they're taken into a new type of struggle.

At the start of production, Spider-Man was still believed to be busy in Sony's Amazing Spider-Man universe, which led Marvel to utilize and introduce Black Panther as the neutral party in the war. After casting the late Chadwick Boseman in the role, Sony & Disney were able to make a deal in order to introduce their own Spider-Man into the MCU. Finding a spot for both iconic heroes, Civil War balanced their introductions with the sprawling epic story surrounding them.

Captain America: Civil War captures the imaginative world of its comic book inspirations. As a full package, the movie fulfills the childhood desire of watching superheroes fight, while also providing an engaging and well-planned story. Though it fails to follow the story exactly as it was done in the comics, Captain America: Civil War creates fresh and exciting challenges for the characters of the MCU to overcome.",9
"Well, the producers at least deserve some credit for truth in advertising. The title says is all. This flick isn't bad, or very bad, it's SUPER BAD. This probably would be of interest to a 13 year old boy who has just discovered masturbation. I'm a big fan of dumb movies but this one was so dumb. HOW DUMB WAS IT? If there were sub-titles they would be in crayon! If you want to use your time better just stare at the carpet. P.T. Barnum once said nobody ever went broke under estimating the intelligence of the pubic. If that's true, this movie should do very well. Then again, it's already out on DVD so I guess there weren't as many suckers as they thought there were. Give this one a pass. There are too many good films out there that deserve a look to waste your time and money on this.",1
"The fact that this gets an 8.5 on IMDB is depressing and says a lot about the simple minds of the masses. Almost everything is predictable and telegraphed and the ""drama"" is as unrealistic as it gets. The twists are there for there to be twists, was it written for children or what? Watch if you have a simple mind, by all means.",4
"For all the hype surrounding this movie, I expected this to be far better than it turned out to be. This weak, sloppy drama never really gets started, and with the story jumping about so much, you never really care about any of the characters, or their actions. Among all the confusion however, you still get typical Tarantino dark humor, which is the only real plus point of the whole movie.",6
"Action-packed, humorous, well balanced and well acted; Captain America Civil War is another insanely good addition to the MCU courtesy of Winter Soldier directors, the Russo Brothers. With a hero cast that greatly outnumbered any of its predecessor, one of the highlights of this battle of the titans was the inclusion of two new MCU characters, namely Tom Holland's Spider-Man and Chadwick Boseman's Black Panther; who in many ways stole the show. Credit must be given to the full team-up confrontation choreographed in the airport scene briefly depicted in the trailers, which without a doubt introduced us to a gladiator match like never seen before. With plot twists that will divide fans and general viewers alike, Civil War inspires us to seriously consider how the events leading up to this mammoth conflict have drastically transformed some of our biggest and favourite MCU character, building primarily upon the events that occurred in both the Winter Soldier and Age of Ultron. Identifying weaknesses were minimal as the movie manages to reconcile what was maybe a very fast paced and almost confusing first half with a momentous and emotionally driven finale which justified the need for thorough detail in the beginning. While the film tingled my nerd senses throughout, delivering just about all that I had dreamed of witnessing on the big screen pre-release, I give this title a 9 and only a 9 (I wouldn't of given it quite a 9.5 if it has been an option) was the noticeable structural weaknesses in the first hour in terms of pacing, but also the ever so slightly under-whelming opening act which saw the new Avengers team taking on one of their first big threats. My own personal highlights in terms of specific characters in the movie would go to both Cap and Ironman, but also the short but amazingly sweet appearances of both Tom Holland's Spider-Man and Paul Rudd's Ant-Man.",9
"Never expected this from bollywood. Such a great film about lost ways and perceptions that leads to a life of vices and self righteous.

I think Kashyap has done a stellar job in showing us how we don't value things that we already have in the lust of chasing what we don't have. I think he also puts ""love"" under heavy introspection causing the viewer to come to terms with just how subjective love can be and how wrongly it can be perceived.

And the soundtrack accompanies this film almost perfectly. Amit Trivedi's work on this is beyond stellar. From psychedelic synths on Saali Khushi to the raw screaming on Emotional Attyachar, this soundtrack is filled with emotions and, in a shocking turn of events for Bollywood, isn't filled with love songs.

The only complaints I have regarding this film is the very quick cuts and the score sometimes feeling tonally out of touch with the scene.

Else this movie is a wonderful work that is quite different from what Bollywood usually produces and it deserves to be seen.",10
"I can't imagine any actress better then Teresa Palmer for such a role. The show isnt blasting with super special effects every 2 minutes, but it's more then perfect for now. Good Pilot, amazing actors, etc. Can't wait to see how this will develop. And damn ..Teresa is so damn beautiful.",10

"I was quite disappointed by Imtiaz Ali's Love Aaj Kal. So much hype before and after release, and for what? For an ordinary story with nothing new to offer. The film is light and simple, but while in some cases these are the good qualities of a film, in this case, these are actually the film's pitfalls. There is actually no real story to speak of, and the film is slow-paced and at times simply boring. Love Aaj Kal is about a young guy named Jai who just ended his relationship with his girlfriend Meera. He then meets a mature Sardar named Veer Singh who tells him of his own story. From then on, the past and the present run concurrently. Saif Ali Khan plays Jai, and in the flashbacks, he plays the young Veer, whose older version is played by Rishi Kapoor. This kind of narrative style is not one to my liking, but it could have been more interesting had it been used and treated differently. For one, I could not understand why Ali had to cast Khan to play the young Rishi Kapoor. If there was some family connection between the characters of Veer and Jai, it would be more tolerable. Also, one has to note that there is absolutely zero resemblance between Khan and Kapoor, which makes it quite odd that the former played the younger version of the latter.

The film is not unwatchable by any means, but it is just not a film I personally would want to watch again. There are good things about it, no doubt, but they cannot save the story from being stale and uninspiring. The songs are quite nice to listen to, particularly ""Yeh Dooriyan"", which is wonderfully sung by Mohit Chauhan, and ""Aaj Din Chadheya"". The entire soundtrack really fits the film's mood. Saif Ali Khan repeats his young, carefree Don Juan role as Jai. His character has shades of Karan from Hum Tum (according to me his career-best), where he played a modern, cool and kind-hearted womaniser. Khan in an actor of unmatched comic talent, and though he is a bit old to play a character of this sort, here too he performs well and successfully portrays his character's gradual growth. The problem is, as said, casting him in the role of the young Veer. A younger actor would be a more interesting choice for the part. Deepika Padukone is an extremely pretty and attractive lass, and her smile lights up the screen, but something is missing there. Though she does well in some sequences, she fails to register the growth in her character. Rishi Kapoor is wonderful as Veer Singh, Rahul Khanna is okay as Vikay, and Giselle Monteiro is decent as Harleen.

Love Aaj Kal has some nice sequences. It was quite funny to see Jai and Meera celebrating their separation, and then regretting it after realising their true feelings for each other. The dialogues are good for the most part. Loved the scene in which Jo, Jai's new girlfriend who is played by a foreign beauty called Florence Brudenell-Bruce, decides to leave him as she notices his indifference towards their relationship. The film can be an entertaining watch with family and friends, though towards the end it has its share of clichés and becomes very predictable. After watching a charming and entertaining piece like Jab We Met, I had high expectations from this Imtiaz Ali film. Unfortunately, in this one the chemistry between the leads is missing, and though the film grows on you as it nears the end, it ends up being worthy of just a one-time watch. I am sure Ali is capable of making much more than just an ordinary love story like this one. Hope he does so in the future.",6
"This movie was so repetitive and boring but at least it made me realize that IMDb and RT have definitely been bought by some Hollywood conglomerate giving the most terrible movies awesome reviews.

Do not watch this movie and never trust the ratings on here or IMDb because they are obviously a bunch of fake accounts.

It is sad what has become of the internet these days. Very sad.

IMDb has become useless to me ever since they removed the forums. What a nice way to treat its user base.",2
"I waited for what seemed like forever for this movie to be ready for rent. I am so disappointed. The story and the acting was so misguided. It actually made no sense and I can hardly believe it was nominated, let alone won. Another let down like La La Land. Please wait for it to come to TV, don't rent, not worth it.",3
"Giving it a 1 star is way too generous. A minus 1 would be more apt for this travesty called a movie which should have definitely been nominated and won the raspberry award that year. There is not much by way of plot. As usual, there is an overload of unnecessary useless ""comedy"" at inappropriate times that made me roll my eyes everytime. And the villain.. where do i even begin!! Its almost 4 years and i still dont get why he was IN the movie in the first place. Anyone having an iota of common sense and self respect can give this movie a very well deserved hard pass. I pity the people giving this movie a 9 or 10. For the love of god there are better movies that deserve to earn more money than this garbage.",1
"Kung Fu Panda 2 was produced by Dream works Animation Co. The stream line of the movie is about the relationship between Po (panda) and Lord Shen (peacock). On one side Shen has the dream of making a deadly weapon using which he can take over China and on the other side Po, who wants to be the best Kung Fu warrior, realizes Shen was responsible for his loneliness. Thats it!

These days most animations have the same story. Most of the time there are black and white sides and the whole story is about one side overcoming the other. Nothing new! I myself am sort of getting bored by these kinds of scenarios. Dream works should seriously look for richer contents. Animations like Spirited Away (A masterpiece animation from Japan) could be a very good shinning model for Dream Works Animation Co. to retain their audience appeal. They seriously need to follow such artistic works with richer and more powerful content if they want to make things work again or else they can try to continue with their older better productions like Chicken Run(2000).

Above said, there is however one very nice and emotional scene in Kung Fu Panda 2 which I like the most, and it is when Po remembers his childhood and the way he lost his parents. Such eye-catching visual effects and dreamy colors were used in these scenes.",2
"Wasted 3 hours total torture to audience. it should haVE better then this. director of this ,movie should be arrested to make such movie.",5
Couldn't asked for any better series. It was a amazing combination of fun and inspiration. Apart from all it's concept of loving one's own job is just amazing.,4
It is a great show but dont tell me something well happen to roh. Next season cuz he makes it worthy to watch.,7
"I very much enjoyed watching 'The boys' tv series. I can find very little at fault with it and whenever an episode finishes i can't help but want to watch the next. Truly a mind blowing story line with constant plot twists that i never seemed to expect. The action ,although gory, was i thought fitting of the brutal grittiness that is a theme throughout. The only poor thing about this series that i found only very slightly annoying was Karl Urban's (Butcher) poor cockney accent. To be fair to him he had most of it nailed but every now and then just a little bit of his New Zealand accent came through and it did change his character a little for me. However, this is just me nit picking, the series is well worth the watch and i can't wait for season 2 which is hopefully released soon",8
"This movie reminds me of Dazed and Confused, but it's better. First of all because it's funnier. Most of the jokes are about how ridiculous characters are and it's portrayed very realistic, like they were a real life characters. So most of the funny moments were conversations between characters. What else did I like was the stylishness of this movie. The soundtrack made this film different from others and direction made it enjoyable even at those parts which weren't funny (which didn't supposed to be funny). It's not only about jokes, just like American Pie this movie has a deeper meaning and the main theme of it is friendship. So it easily beats most of the teenage comedies.",10
"This movie has given me hope about Indian cinema. This is post modern Indian cinema. Anurag Kashyap demonstrates that it is possible to make a slick modern day cinema with characters that are very Indian. No need to resort to copying scenes from Hollywood big budget John Woo style movies to give movies a modern look. Dev D's India is modern India.

Don't get me wrong. This is not an attempt to make a movie with a message or a moral. This is storytelling the way stories should be told. No overacting, not too many cinematic liberties, no in your face emotions. But you still feel the pain of the characters and maybe (if you have had dark moments in life) you can even relate to them.

This is also not completely realistic. There are many surreal and psychedelic moments which have been appropriately depicted using interesting camera angles and even more interesting background score.

Amit Trivedi's music is without precedence. The entire 18 song soundtrack can stand on its own independent of the movie. Yet in the movie the music is seamless except for maybe a few tracks which needed to grab your attention.

The direction is excellent, realistic, almost flawless. The acting is superb. Especially Abhay Deol as Dev.

All in all a movie worth more than one viewing. If you want to enjoy the direction, watch it at least twice.",10
I didn't dislike it. Little bit disappointed because it could have been a much much better film. Lacked a proper antagonist or any other serious roles. But I'm positive that the following ones would be better.,6
Every episode is entertaining and will keep you guessing what's next. The payoff is the best part toward the end. Sucker for Time Travel. Always interesting in seeing how that effects past present and future.,8
"What's the big deal with La La Land!? I don't know! Narsissistic Hollywood nominating it for 16 billions Oscars, I sort of get that. La La Land is all about the good old (boring) times. But what about all the other critics? Why do they love it so much? Strange. Could it be that no one dares to say they thought it was kind of meh? Possibly.

OK. So La La Land is well directed. It's well made. Everything is nice and OK. Technically it's pretty good. But that's it. The songs are really nothing special. The acting is nothing special. The dancing is nothing special. The story? Nothing special. Not much at all, really. See where I'm going with this? La La Land is nothing special. It has nothing new. I don't really mind it not having anything new, but other critics always seem to, so why don't they think it matters with La La Land? And no, it's not one of those times where the direction is so good that we don't need a story. Not at all.

These characters are so flat and boring. Oh my god. Emma Stones character wants to be an actress. Ryan Goslings character is a jazz pianist. That's it. They have absolutely NO other qualities. They are the most boring people I've seen in a movie for quite some time. And it's nothing more to say about them. They are snore.

And the piano theme they beat us over the head with? Yes yes, it's nostalgic and nice, but come on! Over and over and over. And over and over and over and over.

I think in a couple of years people will have forgotten why they supposedly loved this movie so much, and it will more or less get lost in history. It's hype, people. A lot of hype. It's not bad, but 14 Oscarnom worthy? Hell no!",5
"I'm suprised at the rave reviews. I found this film slow and low on plot. There are a few funny and touching moments, and mild suspense but nothing really happens. If I had been watching on TV at home I would have changed channels. It's like one of those French films which is all about the unsaid moments and the cinematography, but hey, it's not French, and somehow does not have the same mystique.",2
"Well, I'm a big fan of The Punisher since nineties. I grew up with his comics and I was very excited when Netflix announced the series, but unfortunately I was bored just after the first episode. The character is not the doomed man who wear the white skull on the chest, he's just an haunted 'soldier' with a lot (!) of flashback and a poor action ability. A drama movie, nothing else. A tip for Netflix, for the next season take a look to the Garth Ennis characters. That's The Punisher.",2
"I don't understand why the writers and producers of this installment completely departed from the centerpiece of this franchise, the Warrens. I guess they had the night off. Instead they chose the easy, cheap and thin plot of a typical scream fest with teens making dumb and incomprehensible decisions. What a slap in the face to young girls everywhere. I couldn't believe that they baled out and sold out to this cheap, boring and predictable rut. If this is the new direction for this franchise, count me out. It will take an amazing comeback for me to spend another dime of my time. So disappointed.",5
"I haven't actually seen any films of Steve Martin and Martin Short before, but after this show I watched every clip of them on Youtube and they really are hilarious!

The show is about a trio of true crime podcast fans-Oliver (Martin Short), Charles (Steve Martin) and Mable (Selena Gomez). The three of them started bonding over a murder that happened in their building and decided to start their on podcast to investigate the murder.

The characters are very well-written, Selena Gomez really brought a great balance and the chemistry between the three is amazing! The storyline has some twist and turns, the pace is just right, the mysteries are not too predictable, and the show keeps running in a quirky, engaging, funny atmosphere.

Looking forward to the next season, the producers really did a great job casting Selena, her interviews with the duo are funny as well, it's like a gen-z babysitting her grandparents lol!

P. S. There was one episode when Martin Short visited his son, when he walked out of his son's home depressed and hopeless, then he recieved a text lighting up his hope- his facial expression in those few seconds were incredible, what a great actor!",9
"First off, the movie itself felt awfully rushed, and I think they could have cut it to two parts or at least three, so they could have made a trilogy out of it, in order for us to be more invested in the story/characters etc. Second, the characters themselves weren't fleshed out enough. I didn't care much about any of them. The first question was really stupid, I mean like c'mon! Nobody ever thought to go backwards or just even by an accident? - Sounds a little bit too convenient to me, wouldn't you agree? Though, Ben Mendelsohn who played the bad guy in the movie was pretty good, and I sorta liked it. As for the world building of the Oasis, it looked pretty cool. That being said, it didn't save the movie. Verdict: the movie itself is just eye candy, nothing really more than that. It's filled with lots of geeky easter eggs that will keep you invested in seeking them and less in the characters/story. It had a cool concept, but it didn't live to its full potential.",5
"While I actually enjoyed season 1, season 2 and now 3 follow the same path. The first season was grounded in the Holmes persona, quirky but focused on solving crimes. Season 2 and 3 have segued toward a Holmes manifesting some undefined behavioral disorder. This leaves us with rapid fire esoteric mumbling from Holmes and quiet idiocy from Watson. The plot, to the extent there is one, zigs and zags with not a modicum of logic, sense or direction. Did I say ""logic""? Did I mention deduction? Neither is in evidence. Are we in a dream or nightmare - a Franz Kafka version of Sherlock Holmes? I give up! Back to reruns of Jeremy Brett, a real Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes.",5
"I love musicals and this movie is a handful of good characters, actors and songs. Can't really grasp were it when wrong. The story shares very good values for our society. It brings light and hope. But it failed to bring me along. I think it may have to do with too many characters worth exploring, and failing to explore deep enough the two main characters. Should it had been longer? Maybe that would have made it better. Or maybe cutdown some scenes that don't bring that much and take too long.",6
Awesome for those who are going to watch in Cinema,10
"I must admit there are some weird moments, some bad dialogue and weird characters, but overall it's really good if you ignore those parts. The story is good, the main characters are really well played, the action is amazing. Made me want more. What gets me is how some characters and there dialogue is actually good and others are so bad, did not made any sense to me.",9
"I'm an intelligent person. I have a great attention span. I loved the Harry Potter movies. I rather liked the first beasts movie, even though it was a little over the top. But this??? This wasn't a movie, it was a damn mess. Shed loads of amazing CGI with no explanation or plot. I'm confused as hell. I feel that I am expected to simply remember and understand every last aspect of the wizard world so I can follow what's going on. God help anyone who's not studied HP in depth.

IMDb asks me if this contains spoilers. Really? But I have no idea what just happened!!!",1
"So Dicaprio is nominated for an Oscar for his role here ? What rubbish, while his acting is about OK, he does carry his role over the top, he over acts in too many of his scenes, seemed unbelievable. Always over screaming, shouting out loud speeches with inflated neck veins that does not seem to look real or in context with the scene, I also did not like his performance in Great Gatsby, is he losing his touch ? The academy does not seem to think so! The same goes with Jonah Hill, ridiculous over the top acting made to be funny but ended up lame.

The plot is nothing original, the rise and fall of a powerful man, have we not seen that so many times before ? Similar movies include Blow, Scarface and even the Spanish film starring Javier Bardem called Golden Balls. Overlong run time filled with lame rubbish over the top sex and drug scenes that seemed to take forever. I really cannot find anything good about this film, except a few laugh out loud scenes and a promising start that took a strong curve downwards as the movie progressed, 2 1/2 hours of torture.

Still the movie gets Oscar nominations including best picture and best actor, what a disgrace!! Shame on you Academy !!

Do not waste your money nor time on this.",3
Don't waste your time Such a pile of crap. Full of over dramatic Hollywood stunts. Go for a walk instead. One of the worst movies ever stay away from it,1
"I am an avid fan of The Conjuring universe movies. I love the idea of having a cinematic horror universe like the MCU. However, there is one big problem with the past additions to this universe. There is no real story. Sure this movie has a good writer and dictator but falls short of the storytelling aspect that I was looking forward to in Annabelle: Comes Home. All in all, it is an enjoyable movie that has good scares, funny moments, though lacking story.",6
"This is an adaption of the game last of us. And it fleshes out side characters way better than the game I have to say. It has some really strong episodes that is just great in itself.

But it has one problem and it is way to short. The main characters take time to flesh out and feel for. And when we do that the series ends. The ending that in the game is just top notch and food for thought does not work as well in the series. The reason for that is very simple. It is the same problem that the game of thrones had in the end.

It just goes way to fast and the dramatic ending do not feel at all as dramatic as in the game. This series should have bin twice as long. When the actors give it all and the enviromnment is this good and it has everything going for it. It is a waste that it just ends when it started.",8
"When you say Bangladesh 🇧🇩 you should show Bangladeshi places, people and culture not Kolkata (India).",5
"It's a Michael Bay film. There's a sky-high body count, jaw-dropping settings and effects, product placement galore and a clear line between who's the good and bad guys. It also has Ryan Reynolds and some other very likeable, and perfect looking people playing spy/assassin/thieves from central casting. Other than processing the high octane action and suspending an incredible amount of disbelief, this is the least work your brain will ever have to do while watching a film. It's brilliant and awful. It reinforces a dangerous idea that so long as you're 'right', you can kick off a fight however you want with impunity and utter disregard for any other point of view. The only people who have emotional consequences are the 'good' guys (the soaring emotions of their back and front stories are tears-in-your eyes stuff, but presumably the several hundred bad guys they've just slain didn't have adorable kids, or cute puppies or loving grannies). The final scenes are gratuitous, depicting middle Easterners as barbarians, and the 'good' guys as judge, jury and executioner in the most base way possible. I know people think that reading too much into a Michael Bay movie is a fool's errand, but if you've ever looked at a road-rager smashing the windows of a car owned by a complete stranger who's just ticked them off a bit, you've also seen a Michael Bay film. It's an astonishing film, but in terms of a watching diet, it's empty calories.",5
"Uh, the drama is really unnecessary, predictable and boring -.-. Feels also a bit like a potter clone. Hope the books are better.",6
Consider the movie 2h 45 min wasted time. Don't even know what the movie was about,2
"I will make this short, since this movie requires little dissection. It is an overly CGI'ed kid movie (not even the good kind of CGI), with VERY bad acting, accents, color schemes, dialogue, you name it. Pretty much the only good thing I can say about this movie was I knew enough to turn my brain off once I realized what type of movie it was.

HOWEVER.

When the credits rolled around and I saw ""Directed by Steven Spielberg"" I think my jaw quite literally dropped into my lap. I know Spielberg has been on a recent downward spiral, but this is an all-time low. When I think Spielberg, I think of absolute masterpiece epics like E.T.,Raiders of the Lost Ark, Saving Private Ryan, Jurassic Park with BETTER LOOKING AND SOUNDING special effects despite the 25 year age gap.

Spielberg used to be the hands down, pound for pound best director in Hollywood. After watching Ready Player One I'm speechless. Nothing can ever undo his mammoth impact on movies, but this one comes the closest to taking the cake.",6
2 hours of fluff (and I'm being nice!) where I actually went to social media several times! Then you get to the last 45 minutes or so that had me on the edge of my seat but made no sense and I'm not sure to understand how or if it was connected to the first 2 hours of fluff!,5
"While the producers decided to cut the film based on the last Harry Potter novel into two parts as to maximize the revenue they could extract from the franchise, which has become the most lucrative film franchise of the last decades, the films that they made based on these two halves were quite good. They certainly weren't great films, unlike the Lord of the Rings, which was a truly great masterpiece of fantasy novel adapted into film. These Harry Potter films were competent but not masterpieces in any way shape of form.

There was also the problem of the main actors being a bit too old to portrait teenagers and thus it shows that they had to shave every half an hour and put some makeup over the shade of the beard.",7
"If this movie is not related to MCU, I seriously left the show in 3rd episode. Wanda Vision is more likely enjoyable to watch compared to this.

The story is so boring, the characters are annoying, and please... The costume for Falcon AKA new Captain America was too cringe to watch.",2
"Carnage is one of the best villains in Marvel, because whilst many evil characters benefit from having a little bit of relatability or a sympathetic backstory, Carnage is simply horrific. That cannot be expressed in a film targeting pre-teens.

There doesn't need to be gore or intense graphic scenes for the character to be portrayed well, although it could help, but he has to be somewhat scary. Whilst it's good to flesh out characters on both sides of a battle, the addition of a love interest was needless and dull and in all made the fearsome villain come across as a bit pathetic. Carnage is supposed to be a bloodthirsty psychopath, not misunderstood or a victim of mistreatment.

Harrelson is an excellent actor who brought even more attention to an already well-publicised film, but this role felt like an utter waste on him. Artistic license is fine but he does not look in the least-bit similar to his comic book counterpart, and that visual intimidation would bring a lot to the film. Adding red hair does not cut it.

The CGI and special effects are all good, Venom remaining the same as the first film (and looking a whole lot better than his first film adaptation), but similar to the first film, the villain lacks the 'wow' factor visually. They're essentially the same physically, but on screen Carnage lacks the powerful statement of imagery that the comics create. Again, this could be due to a rating appropriate for a younger audience.

By far the best element of the film is the dynamic between Eddie and Venom. It's daft, incredibly well performed by Hardy, and genuinely funny throughout the film. That's great, and humour is needed in any superhero film, but if it's the best thing in a film containing these characters, it's not a great outcome.",5
"worst film ever

FM jdjvsv dissuasive busby'fang GMT BSD nudge,,glint

NM forking;, ,nuked,fly,Bandung Carrey is a master at his trade and no one could have played this role to perfection as he did. There was plenty to enjoy for both adults and children alike and this movie is sure to become a timeless classic for all to enjoy in the years to come. I already have visions of my young daughter sitting down year after year to watch this remake on video, and I undoubtedly will watch with her and laugh as I did the first time I saw it.

Clearly, this movie has Jim Carrey written all over it, and I do not believe that it would have come together without him. However, the supporting cast was charming and entertaining in their own right, most notably the adorable Taylor Momsen who was the perfect foil for Carrey's antics. The set design, musical score and costumes all lent their hands to a magical, fab",1
"i just don't get what people see in this. call me crazy but this didn't entertain me.. it was neither funny nor gripping ..William H. Macy's face looks like fresh excreta and you just wanna punch it .and deform it with a metal rod,,, so many people saying yeah YEAH YEAH OH YEAH HYE YEAH OH YEAH.. god d.. this is stupidity why am i watching. this ..having seen so many movies. i must say this is one of the most stupid and boring movie ever made. and it wants me to break my laptop.with a sledgehammer.

crack heads who made this..... crap holes

stupid stupid stupid worthless and not funny and waste of time . why would would you like this.. writer needs to get another job.",4
"3 stars for the good looking sets, production and the cast. The story is so incredibly, disgustingly bad, I could barely watch it. Like what in the name of filmgod happened to the writers to justify such a script. It must be one of the worst I have ever seen. Totally awkward and cringe.

Such a shame, all potential wasted.

Nice color grading btw.",3
"After seeing Uncut Gems the previous night, my wife and I needed something a little more fun. This is a visual pleasure but a light light script.

If you like a little weird, You are going to enjoy Toni Collette in this film, particularly her interaction with JL Curtis.

JL Curtis would have stolen the film if she were given the same screen time as Daniel Craig - She's just got the right role for her to be endlessly enjoyable.

I also really enjoyed the shady grandchild role of Hugh or ""Ransom"" that Chris Evans offers as well as the patriarch played by Chris Plummer, Amanda's Dad.

Many many scenes are filled with campy light fun and enjoyable acting. But it did feel as if a producer thought the film was running long, so the writers were directed to have Daniel Craig talk out the conclusion to the mystery - like someone trying to cram in words to the end of a thank you note.

From this film, my wife and I wanted just a little more for the evening. We immediately then set out to see Eastwood's Richard Jewell. As our evening closed, it was difficult to remember a single scene of Knives Out after having Eastwood's fully engaging film take hold of your short-term memory.",7
"This show is great! I think the story is fascinating and it keeps you on your toes. The one and only problem that it has, which happens to be a critical problem, is the fact that it really is not about Loki. The show is really about the Time Variance Authority, and the main character being against them, which happens to be Loki. This show could literally be called anything else and have the main character be anyone else besides Loki. It could be called ""Thor"", ""Captain America"", ""Iron Man"", etc. You get the point. If a TV show is going to be named after a character, you would think it would be about the character itself. This show should be about Loki and his past, and how he became the God of Mischief. Ultimately, this show is good overall, just not really about Loki.",8
"Quite original,but thats all... the Academy made a weird choice this year..a bit disappointed.",4
"The visuals are fantastic, but the casting is my biggest gripe with the show. The race swapping of multiple characters is uncalled for and unacceptable, but somehow thats not even the worst part about the casting. Bella Ramsey has zero resemblance to Ellie's look and voice. Tess is 20 yrs older than she should be, Sarah is black when she was a white blonde girl. Just endlessly bad decisions on casting.

Also Ellie's dialogue has zero resemblance to that of the game. In the game, Ellie was obedient and thankful to Joel and Tess from the start. She was never rude or overly sarcastic. She was cute and innocent, not brash and self-righteous.

The impressive visuals cannot save this garbage. If you never played the game, you will probably enjoy this series, but as someone who played and adored the story of the game, I cannot recommend this.",3
"U think people want an arthouse masterpiece or some mind-captivating experience watching every movie or it sucks. A lot of these people who flood these review boards with nonsensical BS come across as if they failed outta college & now wanna try their hand at becoming ace film critics. So they go way over the top over-analyzing every film & literally dissect them scene by scene. If they don't have the backstory to every single character or have to use their own imaginations at certain points, we have to hear about plot hole galore. Obv films have them & sometimes they do take away from a film. Usually it's only a minor detraction but they act like well, guess I'm gonna dock the film 9 pts & give it a 1. Then either with same movie they'll complain about a movie not being realistic enough as if they can't wrap their head around fiction & fact it's a MOVIE!

These kind of movies are pretty straight forward. Whether it's the A-team, the losers, or fast & the furious franchise which surprisingly some people will say things like, the first was good and then it just went down hill for most part. Maybe it's just that they are all good just some are better. But some people wanna just hate on sequels to franchises or they wanna hate in general. It's usually wanting to hate or wanting to try & look smart by concocting some over the top review for a simple action film or pick a genre. Some genres like comedy, horror & action are usually pretty straight forward aside from outliers. Why do some people feel like they are entitled to an absolute Oscar worthy film every movie they turn on or else it sux. My god is that annoying.

We can all have opinions. Don't all have to agree to a movies exact rating. But it's clear some people either just wanna be trolls or they think they are on another intellectual level the rest of us cannot understand & they feel the need to show us the depths of their genius. So they dissect a simple film to the point it's all torn apart when all the film was really there for was to provide some quality entertainment for an hour plus.

Are we a people losing the ability to just enjoy a regular average movie these days with out saying it sucks. I'm not saying everyone has to think it's great but to watch this movie & come away complaining or acting like it's a hot mess, my God examine your life....hard!",7
Is there more than one song in this quasi-musical? If there is they should try adding or taking away a few notes; they all sound the same. And it (they) sound way too modern and out of place in a historical drama. I think that's called an anachronism.,5
Deborah Harkness should be proud of the tv show based on her incredible books. Can't wait to see more!,10

"All make this enjoyable is the relationship between Eddi Brock (Tom Hardy) and venom and the high chemistry of Tom Hardy.

In the most of the scene he was acting alone

This movie just want u to have fun and laugh nothing serious + the important credit scene.",5
"I think this could work better as a film or at max, 2 seasons, wrapping up then.

The first season is mostly worth watching because of the different take on superhero fiction, good casting, and there is an okay balance between light hearted/humor and dark (though progressively too much of the latter as it goes on). There also is some sense of optimism like there is a chance this can all work out. And behind all of it is a critique of the current state of the US in terms of political and social divisions, power (corporate and government), exploitative historical events, etc.

It starts getting harder to watch towards the end of the first season and basically continues like that in the next season but even more disturbing, weird, hopeless, depressing, and more focus on Homelander while also feeling monotonous.

They just reveal a bit more of the story behind everything each episode to keep you watching while the same pattern plays out repeatedly: cat and mouse chase, extremely gruesome horror-film-esque scenes particularly with Supes, character conflicts within both the 7 and the Boys, reminding us the mostly bad characters have sympathetic flaws and the good characters have bad sides and some are closer to in between, and that the Vought corporation and its founders and leaders are really the main villain (like the Palpatine character in Star Wars), though their creations sometimes go outside the limitations they try to keep them within.

Some of the easy initial comic relief elements lose their effectiveness by the end of the first season. Yes, Homelander looks and sounds funny but by the end of the first season, that goofy side doesn't balance out the insane mass murderer, bully, stalker, and abuser aspiring for world power anymore. Same with A-Train and Stormfront. The comic relief of Deep's scenes gets old quickly, a lot of it is more like nightmare fuel and not funny.",5
"I agree with a lot of the reviews here, the plot was really lacking. They drove around in cars a lot, like the whole movie. It was a cool period piece, but I think Tarantino fell asleep at the wheel on this one, made a movie for himself and forgot about the audience that was going to watch it.",6
Directors setting up a base of the series. It seems like team is thinking for a long series and big drama. Nice to see the same director from Harry Potter series with completely different style of direction. It's fun to relate characters with Harry Potter and wizarding world. This attempt of making prequel is fantastic. But the Name of the movie 'crimes of Grindelwald' defines nothing.,7
"One of the main characters Will Graham supposedly is autistic, but shows only the slightest evidence of the symptoms of autism, and shows many characteristics that point to his not being autistic.

At a couple of points, two people (by episode 6) suggested Graham might be a psychopath. One can not be both psychopathic and autistic, or at least it is EXCEEDINGLY rare. They are pretty close to mutually exclusive and no psychiatrist would confuse the two. As for being a psychopath, psychopaths, by definition, don't have tortured souls. They feel next to nothing. They have no empathy.

Graham is neither autistic nor psychopathic. If he has some kind of personality disorder, or disorder of any kind, I can't say, but not autistic, not psychopathic. I would say he's a brilliant introvert who feels too much and is starting to suffer from PTSD.

This kind of show is really harmful, because people actually come to start using these terms incorrectly.

There was also a suggestion that Jack Crawford and Dr. Bloom were psychopaths. There is zero evidence of it and lots of evidence against it. (Crawford would not have cared much or at all about his wife if he were psychopathic.)

There were a lot of plot holes and a lot of unprofessional behavior.

I agree with others that Dr. Lecter came across as mainly creepy and never charming. Being creepy won't make people assume you're a serial killer, but it also won't make people warm up to you and confide their inner-most secrets to you.

It's overall not engaging, and is harmful in its inaccurate portrayal of psychiatric diagnoses.",1
You could tell this would be about a Mary Sue character like in which it's Enola Holmes. Somehow she's gifted with every ability & smarter then her brothers. Unwatchable,2
"It was a decent series , the only reason I saw this series is coz of both the lead actors who have been one of my favorites . I wish they could have neglected the political part .",5
"With a masterpiece of a first season, it perfected and pioneered a new industry of televised comedy, while simultaneously remaining unsurpassed in all the years of attempts to mimic its success.

It's nearly perfect and never feels like it's trying to hard to be. The concept, music, direction, and cast are all amicable with one another to a point where one can only deify its miracle.

The characters who support this story feel like they couldn't be adequately played by anyone else, and furthermore, as if their actors were born for the role.

It isn't rude or aggressive. It's clever, subtle, and debatably suitable for family viewing, and it's comforting to watch. It takes character struggles that are so zany and far removed from your reality that you you won't be presumptuously bothered to invest yourself and draw comparison, and supplements those with honest, endearing character moments that remind you the characters are human. This show thrives on its own merit, and I get sudden urges to watch it.

I wish I could review individual seasons, because man, this one was disgraced. Count this for season one.",9
"The characters seem fine, but the whole story is all over the place. the mystery is weird, and you never really feel like they ever solved it.

4/10: bad but not terrible, could have been done a lot better",4
"Wow, this certainly was a visionary approach and I think we can say that it lived up to its hype.

The story is about Wanda after the Infinity Saga, you can say this as a PTSD saga I guess... cannot go much into the plot as it got a lot of surprises. The series starts off slow as the episode goes on the plot thickens, I have to say please don't scratch it off after watching 2/3 episodes as I can assure you from the 4th episode it's a bang. This is not like the Defenders characters kinda show it actually sticks to the MCU movies formula. Got really great characters, it got a really good premise, a banger in the middle, and a good finale.

The directing was just brilliant, it was experimental, weird, and very colorful. The acting was top-notch from every character shout-out to Olsen, Bettany, and Kathryn Hahn, got really great supporting cast. The comedy was phenomenal was delivered well, the dialogues were sometimes cliche, and the costumes were just too good. Really a great start to Phase 4, can't wait to see what happens next.",9
Ep 01 ok Ep 10 ok Ep 02-09 Lots and lots of forest backgrounds. Too much overly dramatic family mushy stuff. And far too much humour for sci-fi. But that's what they do. It's cheaper to add humour than good SFX. !!!! Actress who played the mother stood out. The rest....... not so much. The robot was a man in a painted plastic suit. Any everyone could see that. Shame. I allowed my expectations to get the better of me. I'm sure it will appeal to 12 year olds hence the 12 rating. Disappointed viewer.,6
"The first season was good, story a little slow. However, the second is... Wow. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but the reason I give 8 stars is due to it being very much a Nolanesque treatment of the hero/antihero Frank Castle. The villain is equally Jokeresque, less the mania. On saying this, the pace is great, the action superb and hints of John Wick permeated through nicely. The journey of each character is well captured and the story is right up there with current script writing skills of Marvel, which in 2020/2021 are truly exceptional- watch WandaVision for evidence. I mean, the depth of research is phenomenal and the script in WandaVision is blow your mind brilliant. I'm truly into spiritual and philosophical things and the research they made into these areas is top notch. Combine this with the Nolanesque ideas and The Punisher has become Marvel's own Batman; human, flawed, seeking redemption and a dark Knight seeking the light once found in the dark night of the soul. Excellent series, rated low due to the 10 due to the Batman themes.",8
I only gave this movie a 3 because of the adequate ensemble acting. The pace was horribly slow while not answering the most pressing questions....Sandra Bullock gave her usual overacted performance while her character chose to do the most asinine things imaginable. Hard to forgive even given the chaotic context.,3
"I understand the temptation of the Creators to portray a Female Detective in the 1900's to , actually I don't know why, Feminism maybe. But it needs to be done smartly. Showing all male characters as Dandies, doesn't earn much credibility. Enola Holes is a true fictional character, and I am sure the books are way better than what has been portrayed here. Too much feminism, ideologies, too ;little substance, ruining the stories. This is really a bad film when it could have been so much better. I mean , the Stupendous Sherlock Holmes is reduced to a eye Candy. The Mystery is non existent, the story is boring . The acting by all the cast is good.

The person who made this hasn't read Sherlock Holmes.

I am calling this. Netflix original movies are Cheap and are made only with interesting concepts with Zero investment in substance.",4
"I don't get how you can create a tv series that's depending on that you have read the books or played the game before. I haven't read of played anything and it's IMPOSSIBLE to understand what is happening, except for that the Witcher is a witch. It's a shame since the series have such high quality and actors are all amazing. But unfortunately the producers have done a horrible job explaining the story for people with no background to the books.",3
"And it is the greatest show ever made. I've seen some really, really good stuff since then, all anime(Attack on Titan, One Piece, Steins;Gate, Hunter x Hunter). But, still, nothing has come close to Avatar for me. Those are some really good shows, but they all have flaws. Avatar, as far as i'm concerned, is perfect. Yes, there are filler episodes. But those filler episodes aren't completely useless, they have some good character development, or are just funny.

The thing that really propels this show into a league of its own is the stunning character development, and that's on full display with Zuko. He has the best written character arc EVER. I will honestly be shocked if I ever find one that's better than his.

The messages in this show are brilliant, especially in the ladder half of the series. There are so many memorable quotes, mostly from Uncle Iroh (2nd best character behind Zuko in my opinion).

So, stop what your doing right now, and go watch this show. You won't regret it.",10
"After the massive success of the first Iron Man movie and the new Incredible Hulk (2008) movie Marvel had many more movies planned in the future such as Thor and Captain America which would later create the Avengers team up movie Avengers Assemble but while those movies were in production Marvel needed to fill the gap with a new movie so we got Iron Man 2 to fill that gap.

The first Iron Man movie was amazing and visually stunning which also introduced (Robert Downey Jr) as Tony Stark/Iron Man the movie was action packed, funny, smart and was everything we wanted in an Iron Man movie including the usual (Stan Lee) cameo so Iron Man 2 had a lot to live up to but did it deliver?.

The movies storyline is a bit of a let down with most of story focusing on Tony Stark battling with the government to keep the Iron Man project in his hands only. Tony gets sick and has a sort of a midife I'm know I'm going to die crisis where Robert Downey Jr basically has to act like he did when he was on drugs so that's funny in an ironic way. The movies main villain played by (Mickey Rourke) is just the most generic movie villain ever and doesn't really have any defining characteristics unless you count speaking Russian there are a few fight scene's in the movie but only one is decent and sadly it's in the last 20 minutes of the movie and by this point your half asleep from boredom and sick of the constant unfunny jokes and sarcasm from Tony Stark so by the end of the movie you enjoy the action because it's the only real action in the movie which in a comic book movie you'd expect more of especially from Iron Man.

Overall the movie isn't bad but it just isn't as action oriented as it should of been and the storyline could of been so much interesting but the movie does introduce (Don Cheadle) as War Machine who would later partner up with Iron Man and become an Anvenger himself the movie also introduces (Scarlet Johansson) as Black Widow who has her own kick ass fight scene in the movie her character would later get more back story and a more quiet badass persona in the Avengers movie but for a first introduction of the character it's done rather well.

The special effects and CGI are admittedly a little better than they were in the first movie which makes sense as it had a higher budget and the Iron Man design was kept in it's Mark II stage War Machine also stands out from Iron Man making it easy to tell them apart even when using simular effects and in fast paced action scenes.

I recommend watching this movie if your a fan of comics, Iron Man or just Marvel and the MCU as a whole and while not the best movie in the MCU it's still very entertaining and continued to make Avengers a reality in the years to come.",6
"With every additional sequel the 'Pirates' saga has become bloated and weighed down by its own sense of whimsy and importance. And why do they have to be so bum-numbingly long?! However it is important to remember that this first entry was actually pretty good and contained lots of good moments.

Johnny Depp is on fine form as Captain Jack and the Will/Elizabeth romance is not nearly as annoying as it would become in later instalments.

It's a good stand alone film really but you can understand why Disney, faced with a surprise hit, would want to milk it for all its worth. Sadly though, the more films that are produced the more the reputation of what once was a strong franchise is weakened.",5
"I really liked the first few episodes, then it got monotonous. When a TV show uses dumb decision to further a story, it's a sure sign that it will have a disappointing future. And God, that over smart kid.",5
Funny movie but I feel it could have been much shorter as it became very long to sit and watch this to the end. They could have cut about 30 minutes of this movie and it would have been better IMO.,4
"Over the five series the sites has had some great moments and some awful ones. Overall the cast is a very strong mix of talent and you can always find a few gems in every episode .the dynamics of the character development has been great and despite the occasional blip on each series they always end strong. If marvel want to continue to have a TV presence, Marvel's Agents of Shield is definitely a flag ship project",9
Something a bit different from the run of the mill and well worth a look. Hilarious in places. Ignore the negative reviews attacking Ellen Page as she was really good. Clearly yet another case of AWM's trolling her for being gay and feminist rather than anything actually to do with her actual performance.,9
It's an OK movie but more in terms of it being a series of good individual scenes. When you put them together they're fairly disjointed and don't make for a great story. Quentin's traditional blood path scene feels very out of sync with the rest of the movie. Overall it feels like a movie made for other Hollywood movie industry people rather than a regular audience.,6
"If you are watching a film and start to think 'what is happening right now' it's quite easy to blame yourself for glancing down at your mobile or daydreaming for a second too long, however, with this film, it almost certainly wasn't your fault.

The film was confusing, rich with plot holes and not a very intellectual watch.

Cumberbatch is a fantastic actor however as Dr Strange the script really gave him no scope to perform well.

The CG was incredible and that's the only reason it deserved a 4/10 if this was a low budget movie with exactly the same plot line. It would never have even made it in to the big screen",4
A harrowing tale of the futility of human conflict and comrades in arms.,7
"Well made, written and acted, but I have given up after a few episodes as it's too dark and dramatic for my tastes.

Created in the style of love death and robots which I greatly enjoyed, but none of the episodes I watched contained any comedic element at all, indeed none were light-hearted at all, and this is something I very much preferred.",5
"This film is peppered with unforgivable defects. Mr Scorsese has produced some very fine material, but this is not one of them. The word count would be about halved if the letters F U C and K were omitted. It was very offensive to me, and I have a pretty broad mind. The way women are portrayed is an insult to the modern world. And I am no feminist. My wife and I were sickened by women being treated as only worthy of being sperm receptacles for men who displayed no emotional connection. It represents all that is woeful about the American psyche - that the world revolves around 'money' and 'me, me, me'

Sorry to those concerned, but it is a waste of good celluloid.",3
It Felt too long and overhyped. It contained a lot of plot holes. Only reason I'm not giving one star is the portal scene at the end.,3
"This film was great and fun to watch. It's been 13 years since this movie was made (I feel old). The last Spider-Man film was good and so as this (including the third one). Spider-Man 2.1 shows a lot on what we've miss. At least we can know the whole train fight scene. I love this movie and I still on the Sam Raimi Spider-Man.

Score:10.5/10",10
"The Tick is a kool Show Everything is well Done Every episode is like a short movie it's entertaining has light and dark moments full of adventure some of the humour is out there and tongue in cheek but it's definitely a fun watch.

It doesn't take itself too seriously and and is a very binge worthy show (i also think it's in the same world as ""the Boys "" show which is quite fun an enjoyable watch a pleasant surprise It's not for everyone but A solid show I hope it runs for at lest 4 Seasons",8
"Not even HBO can escape from the dead girl formula in the XXI century.

I don't get all the ""praise"" for the acting, writing and bla bla ... Even the plot twist is bad Call me when you come up with an idea for a strong female lead show that doesn't revolve around highlighting the misery of the misogynist world.",1
"It's really distracting how bad and annoying characters are played. I assume they are directed that way, so I can't tell they are all bad actors (especially nick offerman). But the lead character is just.... i just want them all to know how annoying everything about that character and actress. She is so bad. I dont know what director wanted to provoke in the audience but he really did something wrong. I cant even talk about the plot and rest of the show, but i can tell beside bad acting its really pretencious and i have to tell - boring.",2
"I watched this movie and was extremely touched by it, I wish Indian cinema would acknowledge that more movies like this are required in order for audiences to reflect upon in their daily lives with a positive attitude from which so much is to be learned from. Well done to Ashutosh Gowariker, who doesn't complicate the plots with anything unnecessary and also sticking to a wide variety of emotions and stories unlike the usual love stories which are differentiated however very few film makers can be dependant upon unique scripts and for some reason can't make a movie without adding that bit of romance in, yeah love is cool but life is full of many more wondrous things to learn from, Mr Ashutosh keeps his movies straightforward and simple, Swades is a must see movie, exceptionally stimulating if the moral message is understood correctly. I hope he continues to make these kind of movies and sod the people who think they're boring, just shows how set some people can be in their ways.",10
"Watched 11 episodes. The narrator keeps repeating himself. Also pointing out the most obvious things we've just witnessed. It's beyond dumb and annoying. The show could have been great without it, but it ruins it. It's like the narrator is made to help dumb people who can't understand what the heck is going on. It's sad. Really sa, since it had big potential.",1
"I didn't know what to say or where to put this show after the first 3 episodes.

But after that...the whole thing turned upside down and I have to say this show is amazing imo!

The only downside of it is the lenght of the episodes. A net 21-22 minutes per episode is way too short imo compared to the weekly waiting time for the next episode. This was my main issue with the Mandalorian as well. So it seems like it is a ""Disney-thing""

Too short to build characters and for details. Too little time to get into the whole world and enjoy. The popcorn is barely done when the show is alredy gone. 😅

I personally like Netflix' giving it all at once model and like the average lenght of the their shows more...

Other than that, WandaVision managed to surprise me, which barely ever happens these days, as tons of cliche and poor quality shows all around.

WandaVision is really a good series! 9/10",9
"The lead actress couldn't speak in an appropriate accent. Extremely distracting. But nonetheless the powers that be nominated her for multiple awards. The movie is very overrated, it's too long. I liked the lead actor and some of the supporting cast. The acting was uneven. It seems the purpose of the movie was to stoke racial hatred. It played with a lot of racial tropes and didn't explore the universal fact of slavery, that every race owned slaves, that every race has been enslaved. This was a major failure and simply places the movie under the category of propaganda and hate mongering with an uneven cast.",2
"I have seen many movies but jhund is one of the best movie among them, before no one courage to like that its a starting for Bollywood, Bollywood should take lesson from this,this is valuable and encourage movie for all society people, everyone should watch.

Huge thanks to nagraj sir for such movie and great thought behind of this.... Its great inspiration for young generation... thank you!!!!

All team good job done 👍",10
"The movie was dragged out too much, which significantly thins out the suspense of the plot. Although the acting performances are good, they focus too much on a few men. For long stretches, banal plots and even static scenes are reproduced, which is only made bearable by De Niro's extraordinarily good acting skills.

Emotions, the family environment or the social environment are almost completely ignored and thus a lack oft potential. The focus is only on how two-faced, macho men defend their reputation and power.

Simply filming a questionable biography for hours on end just doesn't seem up to date anymore.",2
"This show is trash. Not a likable or redeemable character to be found. Tired old plot, lazy writing all around. Definitely not worth your time, I promise.",1
"So, this serie is amazing. Let's make that clear. The joy that this serie gives me is BIG. I watched it like 6 times and every single time I enjoyed it even more!

I love quotes, so this serie is the best for me. One I love (I think) the most is: ""As long as I am confident with how I am, it doesn't matter what other people think"" by Smellerbee. I LOVE this line. It is the best.

Also Iroh is like the most CUTE and SWEET and SMART character I have even seen. I love the way he is past of the ""bad guys"" but still so sweet. I am always so touched when he is sad about his son. AAHH this serie made my cry so much.

So: just go and watch it.",9
"Which were, you know, actually about stuff. Had strong interesting themes. Characters. Especially I'd mention JJ and Luke Cage's first seasons, and the final DD season. Exceptional.

Down to this corporate nonsense.

Seems like it was entirely planned by some self absorbed executives that hired one focus group after another until they (probably after many tries) found enough people still pining for Father Knows Best or the Andy Griffith Show. I'd mention The Honeymooners, but that was far better than this.",1
"Good start in the first 10 minutes full of action with Falcon, but gets boring after. Hope the 2nd episode would be better.",5
"Not sure what to make of this movie. Funny, dark, and at times confusing. What was this movie supposed to be? Humor or dark humor or both or neither. I'm confused. The wizard the demons the bad guy with the Magic 8 Ball. Just didn't get it. Was this supposed to be for kids or adults or neither? Then who? I'm confused. Bad acting with a bad script so why is the rating so high? I'm confused.",4
I'm really bored i wasted 10 hours for this (....) Where will i begin. It is bad with everything freeze acting & bad ending & slow events trust me sometimes i felt sleepy with it only the first episode and parts from the second you will feel like you will see a master crime series but then....... Frustration. Boring. I really wasting my time even when i writing this review.,2
"Great costumes and set, but the Barbie land was not fully exposed instead they chose to make every single scene in the movie a political stand. After half an hour is stared to feel like ever other generic Hollywood movies. Everyone in the movie theatre was trying so hard to enjoy the movie, but all there expectations were crushed. No one laughed at the supposedly funny scenes. It was a dread. Dude people go to a Barbie movie to have fun, we have social media to preach about political issues everyday. Everyone fighting for every minute sign of offensive remarks. News anchors and politicians virtue signalling. Where will people go to have fun, Hollywood deserve to go broke.",1
"If you are a bangladeshi or speak bangla you would definitely see how this movie is messed up. There are two major accents of Bangla/Bengali, Bangladeshi accents and Indian accent. Clearly Bangladeshis dont speak in Indian accents but all these character who have spoken the language, used indian accent. Bollywood songs were playing in the households which is not a thing in Bangladesh. They said Dhaka is surrounded by rivers, which is not totally true. Also there are jungle in the outskirts of the city they said, in reality there are none. Also a kind reminder that this movie highlights the control of a drug lord over the country as he can even manage the armed forces which is a joke. Because drug dealing and drug business is a lot less in bangladesh even less than usa, or other developed countries. Drug is not an issue here. An all powerful drug lord is far from reality. Nearly impossible stunts are at its best which makes me laugh while watching. Also the yellow filter seemed disturbing.",1
"... That need to be repaired before the production start of season 2. I've quite enjoyed this show, but for all the wrong reasons. It's a hilarious mess that could have been really spectacular and great with better writing, editing and pacing. There's bits and pieces of a ""good"" series, but most of the character arcs and storylines are too convoluted for someone who hasn't read the books or played the games. And if you have to read and/or play the source material to understand anything, it's not a good thing. Never read The Lord of the Rings trilogy, but understood every little detail in the movie because they took their time to establish things. TW establishes some things, but too late. The show has the same potential for world-building as Game of Thrones, but only if done well.

I sometimes had to rewatch almost entire scenes to understand what's going on. And let's not even start with the 3 different timelines. This show wanted to be Game of Thrones so bad and jump on its success, but without doing the hard work, or anything for that matter. It's just too rushed. Parts of each episode are entertaining, but other elements are on par with the worst of S08 of Game of Thrones. Not much makes any sense, but it's too damn entertaining in a ""so bad, it's good"" way. Some of the jokes missed the mark, but some were great, although unintentionally. Can't wait to laugh my ass off in Season 2, though I have high hopes they will get better writers and editors. Like a Vince Gilligan, but for magic. Then it could be maybe as good as Game of Thrones. Or even better.",6
"The depiction of a modern day Devdas could not have been done any better then what Anurag Kashyap managed in Dev D through Abhay Deol. The deciphering of the movie in totality, cant really be ascertained in a single viewing. Subtle nuances keep coming up with every viewing, that is very unlike any regular Hindi potboiler but very much like the work of Martin Scorsesse, Coppola and Stanley Kubrick, the directors who have influenced Kashyap a great deal. Few are able to disencumber the wannabe tag of wanting to create something like the illustrious directors, but Anurag crosses this great divide with Dev D. He is truly the best voice in Indian cinema today because he makes a movie for himself first and foremost, (like the other great directors mentioned) and makes it with all his heart and soul. The result of his dedication can be seen in Dev D which is a flawless flick with bluntness that will raise eyebrows in the western world, what to talk of Indian sensibility? Everything is just that perfect in Dev D.

Cinematography is delightful & vividly colorful. Delhi has never looked better, looks even better then in Mouna Ragam of Mani Ratnam. Abhay Deol pulls off a remarkable character with consummate ease. The depth and the recklessness and the pain and the disarming smile is very reminiscent of the great performance of Robert De Niro in Raging Bull. Is there is any better young method actor in India, then Abhay Deol? Plain simple, No! In a career spanning just a few films he has shown a repertoire that few actors don't achieve in a lifetime. Kudos, Abhay. Mahi Gill is very competent as a village belle and Kalki Koechlin-just superb. Drugs long seen a taboo in the Indian society, though it remains a rampant problem is dealt with great finesse and audacity in Dev D. People may point this as patronizing drugs but that is not it. He wants to talk about an important social issue and he pulls it off with aplomb. It gives a feeling of hate drugs very reminiscent of Trainspotting, and that is not patronizing but presenting a very important social problem with a difference. The remaining cast is solid and helps in the overall movie compactness. Music by Amit Trivedi is very different from the repetitive bollywood music that we keep churning out. It is fresh and strikingly different from anything that we have heard in Hindi cinema. That this movie is a hit should bolster Anurag's confidence. India, is finally ready for his kind of Cinema as he keeps on saying.",10
Is the movie worth watching? Yes. Is it deserving of a 8.9? No. It is a good movie?Sure. Are there plot holes/issues? Yes. What percentage of the film is CGI? 90%. Would I pay $20 to see it in theatres again? No. Would I buy it in an $5 Walmart Bin? Probably Not. Would I watch it again? Yes,2
Horrible series. Horrible series. Horrible series. Horrible series. Horrible series.,1
"I read American author Deborah Harkness's books several years ago and instantly loved them. They were sophisticated, well-written and elevated this familiar story to something new. This is not Twilight which was poorly written and the movies begged laughter. This is not a gory vampire show. The Brits know how to write and produce a show. I find the cast to be elegant and excellent. You will recognize some of them. For instance, the lovely and wonderful Lindsay Duncan (Under the Tuscan Sun) and the terrific Matthew Goode (The Crown, The Good Wife). The story moves slowly but beautifully and because the books were extensive I'm sure there's things that have been altered. I believe newcomer and probably one of the younger stars Teresa Palmer as Diana Bishop is enticing and interesting; I've never seen her before which I also enjoy in a new show. This show is only among a handful of shows I tune into watch.",10
I could not quite grasp the idea of the movie because of the inconsistent characters. Very intelligent and resourceful Kim family living in the extreme poverty seems the weak point of the script. Unfolding of the events push the credibility of the movie to the level of cartoons watched by the kids. Watchable but not an Oscar movie in my opinion.,6
"I am a great movie buff, one of the greatest around. A great proclivity for cinema I have got. I have been a sincere fan of Martin Scorsese's works, all of them. I believe that a great director can put all the elements of greatness in a movie and make it reach the epitome of cinema. He can set fire to water if there is a natural demand for it. Not the actors, but the directors have always given cinema a turnaround whenever required.

Now, this guy - Anurag Kashyap, is heavily influenced by Scorsese, and may be some other directors too. Being influenced and then delivering beyond imagination is a gargantuan task, only few blessed people can do. The film style and techniques which he carries with himself are rare, almost rare in the Bollywood where some quacks in the name of cinema produce utter rubbish stuffs and beguile the audience of real dimensions of cinema.

Let's quickly talk about the movie. Every dimension of cinema has been given full respect. Everyone's performance is quite commendable. The cinematography is simply amazing. The dialogues are such a bliss to any Bihari ears. Thanks to the God, I have got a pair. A great music to spice up the situations. You know, the music will remind you of Kill Bill. Music has been Tarantino's one of the greatest weapons. Tarantino has also influenced Kashyap. The direction of the movie- let's not talk about that. I have talked a lot already about the director.

One thing I want to mention particularly. Many directors tried to get into gang-wars, mafia and other stories involving Bihar and U.P. But the level to which this movie takes you has never been achieved earlier. I was just flabbergasted. How could the director boil down to such intricacies? That's the job of a genius, ain't it?

There were few things I did not like about the movie. The movie needed a little bit more work on editing. The narrator should have been a better one. A powerful voice was what I thought lacked. Also if the movie were little bit peaceful in the first half, it would have been a legend. Remember Taxi Driver. That calmness and that peace. And one thing particularly- it should have been released in one piece despite of any length it had got. But bad things come in twos and here is Bollywood's baddie my friend.

Do not listen to what one says. Just go for it. It will satisfy the voracious you. A perfect roller-coaster ride. And those who follow the quacks I mentioned - please avoid this movie. We do not want such slumps despising something heavenly.

P.S.- Do not watch this movie with your girl otherwise you will end up answering the one and only question throughout the movie. ""What does that mean""?",8
"This is just another gangster movie, nothing different from anyone from De Niro to Scorsese. It's an ok movie if you like De Niro doing a ton of voice over to keep you interested instead of the actual acting.

A big no from me, just nothing new.",5
This was a good but not great war movie. The ending could have been better and was left with a couple of questions still at the end. Although the camera movements following the story are phenomenal which is why I rated higher. Not because of story line. Hacksaw Ridge is way better than this movie but for some reason has lower ratings,7
"With this film, we are slowly but surely bidding farewell to one of cinema's most successful and imaginative franchises. The franchise, like Harry Potter himself, has grown and matured as the years progress. Part I of the ""Deathly Hallows"" is ultimately a strong build- up to what will be a triumphant, bittersweet finale for everybody. Acting was superb like in every other film, probably because of the strong, British cast that has dominated the franchise over the years. The main 3 were again excellent and carry the film on their shoulders. Despite the good performances i found the characters in this film, not particularly enthralling and quite melodramatic at times. Yates' direction in Order of the Phoenix and again in this one is a bit off in my opinion and the tone was all over the place. The film is like a roller coaster, with giddy high points, either in the action or the tone, but there are also many low points with nothing in the middle. I respect and understand the decision to make this movie in the first place, trying to fit both part 1 and 2 in the same movie would be a catastrophe in many ways. That being said, it was very bland and boring at times, the beginning and end were pretty good but the middle of the film was just amateurish. The whole plot line with Ron is aggravating and completely out of character and the very little subplots it had were rushed and under-developed. Another complaint i had was the lack of chronological storytelling, scenes and acts could be easily switched without much change and the film felt disconnected. Overall, i think this film was still good and can see why people like it, but nothing compared to other movies in the series.",6
I don't even understand why the rating is so high for such a boring movie.,2
"Filled with star power, I loved the look and feel of this Tarantino film. I was happy that he chose not to glorify Charles Manson and his groupies, giving them a more suitable ending which was just fine with me.

There were so many bits and pieces in this film that I really enjoyed, but I am sorry to say the overall story kind of fell flat for me. The film was long and in general I am happy to go along with Tarantino on his journeys, but I struggled to find anyone in this film that I cared about...except maybe the dog?

Underage sex, mariticide, drugs, a murdering cult, and finally a touch of Tarantino's gratuitous violence. As much as I enjoyed seeing the Manson situation go down like it did...I think there are far more interesting Hollywood stories to tell, even ones with violent endings.

Still love Tarantino, but this would not make the top of my list nor be a recommendation from me.",5
"This manga is exceptional: smart, captivating and suspenseful. The script is up to the drawings: astonishing and entertaining. I loved it!",9
"I felt like I was binge watching 10 episodes of TV show, but couldn't fast forward boring story plots, fillers and flashbacks. There is no drive. Nothing really happens and when it does, it's underwhelming. For a movie about magic the script is very unimaginative.

This script has the same block buster problems that are money focused rather than than wanting to tell a good and exciting story. People talking about things I don't care about in scenes directed very lazily to fill the run time and setup franchise. For what it has to offer, 1hr and 25min would suffice. There is no flow, pacing is terrible. Same like SW last ep.

Newt is fun, opening scene is great visually but dumb logically. Kovalsky side kick does nothing to me in this one, humour forced. The most thrilling parts are HP nostalgia moments.

When franchise is that popular, people will go and see it no matter what. When it makes money back, it's not because it is a good movie, it's because it's s popular and you liked that HP movies and books. I hope they end up with 3rd one, as making such a boring lazy script is an insult to us, viewers. However if they can milk it beyond that, avarage viewer is to blame. I'm not watching another one.",1
"Very interesting atypical characters, of course, the main character with her interesting character carries the whole story, great selection of actors and their acting, really every character is great processed and lively, great camera, set design, costume design, and music selection What I didn't like: end and unfolding, too American candied. Far from it that I don't like happy endings and that all people are brothers and such, but simply (at least in the series) there is no logic to it that would be justified by the motivation of the characters. As if they didn't know how to end it without satisfying a wide audience.",8
"This was an enormously enjoyable production and has something for everyone. The acting was superb, especially from the children. My only complaint is the size of the plot holes. Having introduced an interesting idea from mainstream science the writers seemed to forget the need for consistency with the idea in the narrative. Most of these loose ends and inconsistencies showed up in the final chapter. For pedants such as myself, the resulting plot holes took something of the shine off this otherwise excellent series. Finally, it is pleasing that we have a series here that has an actual end in sight, although the producers seemed to have left a chink open for a second series.",8
"From beginning to end, the series is very straight-forward : Chase the villain and stop the murdering.

If anything, this is a great Oscar Isaac demo reel! While he is convincing, the portrayed character and the development of the story is just not interesting. There's little character development.. it's more character definition. The rest of the cast (the other 2 people in it), don't get as much attention. One shows hints of a great personality, and would have loved for her to be better written and more involved! Because she is energetic and driven.. and we don't really get to know her at all (love her hair, though).

And then, there's the murderer. He is a one-tune kind of guy, and there's just no reason to like or care about him.. even if he has indications of a more tender/caring person that don't go anywhere.

Then, tries to cover a lot of ground :










It was difficult for me to care about the characters. At no point I felt like I didn't know what was happening, or was surprised at the outcomes. Visuals are decent, but characterization feels off and they can put all the serviceable action they want, but doesn't work if it services nothing. I feel displeased with the usage of one of the most complex characters in Marvel Comics, although nothing has been as bad as the character Ghost, so far.

Could this have worked better as a movie?",3
Just like everyone have already stated Kate Winslet is great as Detective Marianne but there are some problems with the tone and some boring side stories. Character set ups seems like a 4-5 season long crime drama series. Comedic scenes are just aimless. I would rate it 5/10 if it wasn't for the acting and directing.,7
"I was hoping for much more - sadly,we've seen It all before. Since the brilliant and awe-Inspiring 'Roots',nothing In this genre has been at all special and '12 years a slave' Is no exception. As unexciting as It Is predictable,this Movie gives us nothing new and Just re-treads old ground. We've seen enough of pre-emancipation stories. We KNOW what a terrible time slaves In America had without constant reminders like this. Black folk have enough reason to hate White folk without stirring up hackneyed old stories. If you can watch this the whole way through without falling asleep waiting for something exciting to happen then good for you. Giving this Movie 'top marks' just because of feelings of guilt(If you are white) or because of solidarity and mutual hatred of the Slavers (If you are black) Is a naive decision. This boring piece of Americana will soon be forgotten. As the song goes...""Tell me the same old story...."".",1
"Imprisoned drug lord Ovi Mahajan's son, Ovi jr., is kidnapped by Bangladeshi drug lord Amir Asif. Ovi Sr. Orders Saju Rav to retrieve his son, or he will have his son killed.

Mercanary Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth) is hired for the rescue mission. Already here I was a bit confused. If Saju was ordered to retrieve Mahajan's son, who recruited Tyler, and why? Because, as it turns out, Saju and Tyler try killing each other with every opportunity they get. How did Tyler and his team - lead by Tyler's partner Nik Khan - hear about the kidnapping, and how did they get involved in the rescue? Maybe I missed something, as I didn't fully understood this premise.

Finding and retrieving the kid was the easy part for fearless tough guy Tyler. However, getting him out of the city was an entirely different matter altogether. When Amir discovered the kid had been retrieved, he ordered the Head of Police to close all the city's exits. Amir is a powerful, wealthy and ruthless antagonist.

The action sequences and fight choreography are impressive, to say the least. The action is fast and relentless, and incredibly well done. Chris Hemsworth delivers, and I enjoyed the fact his character also had an emotional side, showcasing Hemsworth's acting abilities. I also liked the way Tyler and Ovi bonded.

Unfortunately, there was so much about this movie I didn't enjoy. Ever since John Wick raised the body count in action movies, it seems the higher the body count, the better. I disagree. (By the way, I absolutely HATE the John Wick movies). There is A LOT of killing and destruction for just one kid. And I didn't even fully understand why the kid was so important in the movie, because there was nothing special about him. He was simply the child of a drug lord and not much thought went into Ovi as a standalone character.

I also didn't like the way Tyler was killing police officials left, right and center. The film automatically assumes the viewer will see the police as the enemy because they are in pursuit of the film's protagonist, but keep in mind they are simply police officers doing their job. Why do they deserve to die so violently? Why doesn't Tyler have ANY consideration for these officers? Had they been Amir's henchmen, it would have been a different story. But these are innocent men! The more (innocent) people Tyler killed, the less I liked the movie - and Tyler. The killing became mindless - just like the John Wick movies. The body count easily exceeds one hundred. Hopefully this is not the future of action movies.

While I absolutely loved the action sequences and stunt work, all the unnecessary killings ruined the movie for me.",4
"I loved the issues this show tackled, and the manner in which they did it. The characters were great, not one but two New Zealand actors to celebrate. What's not to love!",9

I don't think I am even capable of writing a review that could do justice to this absolute masterpiece.,9
"Kung Fu Hustle is a good film about Kung Fu, and also involves comedy, love, and Buddhist philosophy. I feel Stephen Chow did an great job with the pacing and story line. Those of you who are Matrix fans will instantly recognize the choreography and wire work of Yuen Wo Ping in the fight scenes.

A lot of characters in the film could be taken at face value, but you can also get a deeper meaning. For instance, on the surface the Axe gang is just a mob, but they could also represent the oppression of working class people, or the brutality of oppression ingeneral.

Sing (Chow) represents the desire of humans to transform and better themselves, even if that means joining a gang, because he wants respect. The idea of ""fate"" also weighs heavily in the movie. Fate had 5 Kung Fu masters living in the same place, but no one knew it. Sing, a mugger, is really a Kung Fu master. The film also speaks to standing up and doing the right thing. Sing makes a decision to help the landlord/landlady and fight against the beast, and winds up changing his destiny. As far as the Kung Fu, the martial arts is used to protect and defend, which is a great contrast to the violent murders committed by the Axe gang.

The movie also speaks to the ""Chi"" concept an inner power or force that all individuals are supposed to possess. For example,the villains who use the lyre (musical instrument which looks like a harp for the lap) to fight against the masters, never physically touch them, yet they are using Chi,though in a negative sense, to destroy the masters. Their negative energy is represented as a force that is used for evil. Contrast that with Sing, who uses the ""Buddhist Palm"" for good and eventually tames the beast. The love story between Fong and Sing represents the strong protecting the weak.

There was a lot of slap stick comedy in the movie,(Eyeglasses guy,running at high speeds)which was effective. The movie is entertaining, and it was cool to see the Axe gang get their dance on. Looking forward to the sequel.",7
"Cristopher is one of the fine directors that Hollywood has ever seen. Coming to the point.. the movie is more of the content filled with Quantum Physics which may become the future scope. The plot is fine that deals with the time travel and black holes. I had expected more from Cristopher.

Anyway it is one watch movie up to my standard. Cheers to the work he did to take the film to the next level. :) :) I rather liked inception more than this. The good thing with inception is that the mind twister one which the writer thought of.

Bit expecting a high concrete logical movie like Asimov ones :) :)",7

"Director Greta Gerwig takes us on a fun ride in the life of stereotypical Barbie ( Margot Robbie) as she navigates through various aspects of her life. She is joined by Ken ( Ryan Gosling) in this fantasy of pink decor, colourful costumes and the kitsch sets in a dream like atmosphere . The movie has exquisite cinematography ,melodious songs and attractive dances. There is an innocent quirkiness in the characters and the intermittent light humour keeps one amused. There is fun and fantasy all the way in all colourful scenes. The rainbows in the background add to the beauty. The cinematography has carefully framed fabulous visuals which will appeal to all audiences. The highlight of course is the superb acting of Margot Robbie who excells in exuding the innocent charm of the much loved character. She is definitely a refined artist who gets under the skin of the character. Ryan Gosling also does well as Ken showing his versatility. His one liners are said with his typical charm which will please his fans. The special effects help to create the dream like ambience and are pleasing to watch. I forsee the movie getting nominated for best actress ( Margot Robbie ) and for production design, costume design , make up and cinematography.",7

"First off...It's A Michael Bay Movie!!

This is how you watch a Mike B movie: 1. Be in the mood for insane action. 2. Make popcorn 3. Settle into overstuffed movie-watching-chair 4. Don't overthink it 5. Enjoy the ride

This movie was everything I expected it to be and a little bit more (thank you Ryan). You've probably read the other reviews and have most likely have seen other MB movies, so the reviews shouldn't surprise you. They are all over the place, much like Micheal's edits and plot points.

Adjust your criteria based on that, you have a solid 7. If you judge this movie based in the same criteria you would use to rate the cinematic milestones throughout movie history, it's not even a 1.

I had a great time. Laughed my ass off and let loose with a few ""holy s***s"". Every thing I was in the mood for when I plopped my ass down on with a beer in one hand and the remote in the other. Yeah, I rewinded a few scenes. Where MB may miss critical plot details, he makes up for it in visuals. Take this movie for what it was meant to be and have a good time.",7
"Great director, unbelievably brilliant cast and two outstanding movies of this trilogy already out - this had everything needed to be a masterpiece... but it just isn't.

I loved two previous Batman movies and was expecting at the very least a good entertainment from this one. There are so many things wrong with this movie it's hard to know where to start.

1. The plot is flat and very unrealistic. 2. The brilliant cast, actors who are my absolutely favourite, act as if they don't really know who their characters are supposed to be, what to do and which emotions to convey. 3. Lame fighting scenes, seriously just stupid. 4. Batman made into an old, falling apart fool who then miraculously recovers to be beaten up again and then again recover.

I could go on for ages in this manner. It lacks everything I loved in the previous ones and on the whole it's so unrealistic it made me go through all sorts of different emotions every few seconds (not in the good way), one moment I was laughing (not when it was meant to be funny), then I was just disgusted only to be extremely bored the next. It really pains me to say this as I expected a lot from this movie but it's really not worth watching - unfortunately so...",4

"One thing in advance: I'm completely unfamiliar with any other Nickelodeon productions. This means I will solely judge the show on its own, with all the positive (no bias) and negative (no comparative values) implications thereof. With that out of the way, let me say that ""Avatar: The Last Airbender"" is an extraordinary piece of art. The animation, already decent from the get-go, seems to just get better and better as the story progresses. The characters are universally well-developed and likable (with Toph and Sokka being my personal favorites), the plot flows smoothly, and the combination of action and humor is splendid.

Of course, there are also downsides. Not everyone will like the fact that Avatar is probably the biggest Ship Tease in existence; and some of the characters play the immaturity card a bit too often for my liking.

All in all, however, Avatar's critical accolades are so jubilant for a reason: It's just that good. I'd recommend it for viewers of all ages (for the record, I'm in my early twenties) and many different genre preferences (Avatar has epic battles for action aficionados, hilarious humor for comedy fans, and several official {and plenty of plausible unofficial} pairings for the romantics.)

Bottom Line: After carefully factoring in plot (8/10), voice acting (10/10), animation (9/10) and humor (10/10), I'll just ignore all those calculations and simply slap a big, fat 10/10 on the show for its sheer entertainment value.",10
Absolutely no flow or cohesion to the story. And the acting? I'm still cringing. Bradley Cooper was awful and his voice in this movie was irritating. Unfortunately GaGa wasn't any better. Don't waste your time on this garbage and shame on everyone involved for putting this atrocity out there.,2
The first series was amazing viewing .all issues about growing up covered.i watched it before the suicide scene was removed and could not sleep for days.the 2nd 3rd and 4th should have been condenced into one series,8
"This movie reminds me of ""You Have An Email"" but intended to be made with a bitter sweet taste. The characters are awful and from the beginning I had the sensation I wanted the movie to end. This is a typical romance movie shot by the daughter of one of the best directors of history, that's why they (the bureaucratic enterprise piece of ignorants called ""The Academy"") awarded her with an Oscar. I will make a complaint asking for an original script award to ""You Have An Email"" (also a nasty movie), because it's really not fair. The ""daugter of"" is very talented for being the ""daughter of"". She doesn't need any award as she has God at her side. As an unforgettable musician said ""what a wonderful world"".",3
They got the character names right but apart from that EVERYTHING else deviated from the book! I was prepared to be disapointed but I was blown away by how far the film deviated from the book. If you've read the original and you are hoping to see it realised in file - STAY AWAY. If you haven't read the book don't let this mediocre bash at sci-fi put you off a great dive in to retro culture and gaming.,2
"One of my all-time favorite shows. It's a miracle NBC allowed Bryan Fuller to really go for the gold with Hannibal, which features HBO level violence (how did they get away with some of this stuff on broadcast?!), a serialized story after most of the first season, intense and intelligent character focus, surreal and psychedelic visuals, and a central character who is not only a brutal psychopath who eats his victims, but is also incredible charming and likable despite it (he's essentially the devil among us, charming us into temptation).

Mads Mikklesen truly knocks it out of the park as Hannibal Lecter, creating a nuanced character and avoiding attempting to emulate Anthony Hopkins' iconic performance. To me, Hopkins' iconic performance in Silence of the Lambs is incredible and very worthy of his oscar win, but his follow-up appearances cranked his level of crazy into sometimes cartoonish levels. Sure, he was still a lot of fun to watch, but he had become a slasher villain. Just my opinion, of course, and I still enjoy those movies. But Mads created a sophisticated beast, one who we all know is a monster but is so damn good at convincing the world around him that he is the ultimate friend and confidante. His incredible charm and his knowing, tiny little smile he makes whenever someone says something to which only he (and the audience) know the truth about is both funny and disturbing. He loves being a snake in the grass, and loves seeing how the world shapes itself as he continually disturbs it. As the show goes on, the devil inside gets plenty of chances to unleash too, and Mads' background as both a dancer and in prior action roles allow him to be absolutely ferocious when he strikes.

And his relationship with Hugh Dancy's Will Graham is an amazing story of friendship and murder. Dancy plays Graham as an emotional disturbed FBI profiler with a monkey paw gift: an incredible depth of empathy and knack for detail that allows him to think exactly like a killer and recreate crime scenes, but at the cost of his mental state. Will is possibly on the spectrum already and is constantly battling his deteriorating sanity, with Hannibal both helping him (as his therapist and friend) and hurting him (as an intelligent psychopath) depending on the situation. Dancy is great, creating will as a both a wounded dog and rabid wolf who must navigate awful circumstances. The journey he goes on through three seasons is very unique, and he and Mads have great chemistry together.

I could go on and on about the rest: the visual style is incredibly unique, the music is surreal and haunting, the supporting cast (including Laurence Fishbourne, Gillian Anderson, Gina Torres, Eddie Izzard, etc.) is great, and despite the series cancellation berfore Fuller's original six-year plan it ends on a satisfying note. It's a relatively quick watch as well, with only the first half of season 3 feeling a little slow thanks to some indulgence in the individual characters and a breathtaking visual and location shift (I loved it, but I know some people felt those episodes are a little slow).

Last words: Can't recommend enough if you like dark stories and humor or are overall fans of the Hannibal Lecter character or series. It's a great remix of Thomas Harris' creation and is only missing the Silence of the Lambs bits (those characters are owned by MGM who wouldn't allow them to be used in the show unfortunately.). Bon Appetit *raises wine glass*",10
"You know you got a good series if you have good script, followed by good story development --- both heroes and villains. Superheroes don't have to have superpowers to save. Sometimes, they just need to be as human and frail as possible to get the job done --- and Daredevil is one of those series that shows that.",9
"At the very least I expected CGI that lived up to the original series. Nope. The special effects were on the SyFy channel level, as was just about everything else about this cash grab. From the first moment of GoT, you knew you were watching something special. Even the opening credits were a wonder. This tiresome soap opera offered nothing of the sort. We couldn't even sit through the first episode, which I've subsequently read tries to make up for poor storytelling with over the top gore. This series, far from redeeming the atrocious final season of GoT, makes even those final blunders seem worth revisiting. Hard pass.",3
It's a beautiful movie showing warfare and the devastating uri attack. It is one of the best movies I have watched yet. Salute to the Indian army🇮🇳🇮🇳,10
"If you are the type of person who enjoys watching people getting tortured, beaten up, murdered, lynched and put through all kinds of pain and suffering, this movie is the perfect movie for you. The movie provides 2 full hours of torture and beatings to suit your ""unique"" and interesting taste.

If you don't find enjoyment in these things and if you expect a movie to provide you with more than torture porn, you will be deeply, deeply disappointed in this movie because it offers very little beyond torture and beatings.

The movie goes out of its way to show as much torture as possible from beginning to end and that's basically all there is to this movie.",2
"How many times can Martin Scorcese cast Leo and try to remake Goodfellas? This movie makes The Departed almost capture that past glory of yore. We get it: Greed is bad. But this film doesn't only borrow from Scorcese's past movies, but copies from others. A stock broker (the lowest rung on Wall Street) tries to get rich but when he can't do it legit, he cheats. Sound familiar??

This film is a sad attempt to play on the envy of people as well as the media's unflattering and grossly inaccurate portrayal of finance. Most people who wanna be in finance don't wanna be brokers, and most who are actual players are NOT brokers. Martin also calls McConaughey's character a ""trader??"" ARE YOU KIDDING ME? He was also a SALESMAN. Salesman=/=trader, just like paralegal=/=lawyer or nurse assistant=/=doctor. My other big problem is that when considering that this is a ""cautionary tale"" based off ""truth,"" the use of artistic liberty, like midget tosses, goes a lil too far. The acting at best is mediocre. Leo was great in Titanic and Shutter Island, but this (and Departed too) really is just the showcase of the fact he cannot be a believable bad guy.

If you want a good Wall Street movie, see Wall Street. Or Margin Call. If you want a good Scorcese flick, see Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, or Raging Bull. Steer clear of this film tho. Unless you like spending money more wastefully than ""The Wolf"" himself.",2
"Wow I loved this film. This horror knocked it out of the water for me and is a 10/10- I was scared. I've seen a lot of horror films and lately find I'm a fan of modern horror that embodies some elements of the times we live in: social media, going viral, cell phones ringing in a silent room, eerie pinging of a text message. The two that spring to mind are Slenderman and It Follows, where it's shallow teens not realizing the danger that awaits them. This was modern horror in all its glory. I watched this film because the hand reminded me of one of my favourite horror books, The Cipher by Kathe Koja. It did not disappoint. The Aussie actors were nothing short of incredible, there was such character and grittiness in each and every one of them, particularly in the friendship group. Props to the main girl (she was amazing) her best friend and the best friends brother. Even the mum was great. Real acting. Depth. Character. Emotion. Rawness. Even the ones that were intentionally game and shallow, they had you convinced. A real, original story and some terrifying scenes that left you stone cold. I truly loved the ending, I haven't stopped hyping up this film since I watched it.",10
"I'll keep this simple The very good: Cinematography, acting, soundtrack

The bad: Disjointed story ...i fell asleep twice and had to rewind

Only Quentin Tarantino could have gotten away with this. If anyone else had written this it would have been binned",3
"Excellent movie. Truly hilarious, You do not get bored for one second. Love this kind of humor and the fights are really good!!",10
"The Change-Up bathes in a whole new tub or immaturity and low-brow jokes. Just when you thought The Hangover Part II was the raunchiest piece of film in 2011, casually, but awkwardly walks in this boasting a tiresome eighties formula and off color jokes that twenty years ago would've got you labeled a ""no-class"" citizen.

Despite being stamped with an R rating, it seems the humor was targeted toward juvenile twelve year olds who laugh at excessive uses of four letter words and sex references. Boy, this film comes with its share of gratuitous nudity and sexual content. So bad that I'm sure the MPAA was shaking their head when writing down everything this included. I am no prude. I have no problem with language, sex, drugs, or anything. Just as long as it's funny, it has a purpose, and it isn't every ten seconds. The Change-Up doesn't seem to get the fact that swear-humor wares thin.

The eighties did away with body-and-mind-swap films, and I think The Change-Up wants to be either nostalgic or clever at resurrecting a tired concept. One body swapping movie I liked to a very stern extent was Dream a Little Dream. It was a true eighties film, but neglected to mention on the back cover and in the trailer it was a convoluted reality-bent film. That's an inexcusable movie on the film's part. At least this tells us what it is blatantly.

We meet Mitch (Reynolds) and Dave (Bateman) two best-friends drifting apart because of life's duties. Right off the bat, from that sentence, could've spawned a much smarter and much more interesting film. Lifelong buddies going their separate ways, struggling to hold on, yet constantly fighting, maybe ending in a decent twist. But I don't know if that would be the place to squeeze in so many crude jokes.

Anyway, Mitch is a free-spirit man-child who loves to have random sex with a pregnant woman, and Dave has a wife (Mann) and three children. One real girl, and two CGI-ed infants to be exact. One day, they urinate in a fountain and wish they had each other's lives. Boom. Wish comes true and now Mitch is Dave, and Dave is Mitch.

They must get used to being in each other's bodies, but then again, both are just as crude and low as the other, the only difference is one actually cares about his family and the only person the other cares about is his pregnant sex-buddy.

The problem with The Change-Up is not only that is resurrects a subject that should've remained dead, but the fact that it feels it's ""on a roll"" with its sick humor and deliberately childish antics. We get babies doing their business on Bateman's face, awkward love scenes that could very well tie Bad Teacher for worst sex scene of the year, and we also get enough language to sustain a George Carlin comedy special.

This isn't a disaster, but it in no means shines past its roots. The only likable character is Dave's wife played by Leslie Mann who I adored in Funny People. I keep hoping she goes down the path of Amy Adams, and gets herself an Oscar in a future drama role, but The Change-Up certainly couldn't have helped manors.

I've said before 2011 is the year of the women with comedies like Bad Teacher, Bridesmaids, and Hall Pass showing that women can be just as funny as men. This film only proves my point that when you have a supporting actress better than the two comedy, typecast leads you should make a film on her rather than them.

Starring: Jason Bateman, Ryan Reynolds, and Leslie Mann. Directed by: David Dobkin.",5
"Some amazing performances by Pankaj Tripathi ji and Rajkumar Rao ji. Although I felt a few pieces could have been better. Some parts could have been excluded, like I loved the connections but I felt there was too much love.",7
"The story is poor, predictable and so implausible that at one point I was expecting aliens to appear. It's simply and old movie. The original Top Gun was ok because it was filmed and displayed in the 1980s but you cannot afford to do that same movie in 2022. The only thing they changed is that they made it politically correct. You know, to make sure nobody gets offended. I honestly can't believe people rated this with a 10. I can only think those are nostalgics that still want to live in 80s. I rated with a 2 only because I laughed at one joke. Don't waste your money. Watch it once is on TV and if you don't have anything else to do.",2
"Now I'm not one to berate a movie because it didn't follow the book - but let's face it - this movie is a totally different story than the book. The characters are all in the same geographic location (?!), how they obtain the keys couldn't be different, and the ending was so anti-climatic. I went in, anxious to see this movie, and was terribly disappointed! You would NEVER have known this was a movie about the 80's, leaving very little to the imagination. Not sure why I gave it a 4, probably should be less, but I'll stick with the 4 for now.",4
"I have to say that this film is REALLY boring. Now, I know that the more arty, pretentious types will say that I am just too shallow to appreciate this work of pure genius, and I should look for the deep and wonderful meanings that the main stars of the movie weave between them and how it mirrors never-to-be relationships, blah,blah,blah.

Sorry, but that's all crap. There is no deepness waiting to be found in this film......no, really, there isn't ! All those who say ""Well, I watched the movie again and it all became clear and it was the most wonderful moment of my life"", are clearly fooling themselves, (Yes Emperor, your clothes look beautiful!) Comments from other posters of ""If you don't like this film then go back to watching your action/scifi/horror trash"" just don't cut it. Most posters who don't like this film seem to be sensitive, emotional, intelligent people who enjoy watching a complete mixture of movies who can see this film for what it is. A turd covered in cream is still a turd.",1
"I enjoyed this movie so much I saw it twice in the theaters. If you enjoy martial arts movies, you should see this based on the action alone. If you also enjoy a good comedy, there is a lot of slapstick and funny lines to keep you laughing through much of the movie. There are enough plot twists and interesting characters to make this movie satisfying to watch. I don't want to give too much away, but the kung fu masters in this movie aren't the typical ones, which is very funny. The movie keeps you interested with this curious blend of martial arts, special effects and comedy. I would recommend this movie to almost anyone - young and old.",9
"I wonder what movie the people giving 9 and 10's watched and are raving about it because it's not the one I just watched on Netflix. I like everyone who stars in this AND I love mob movies. This disappoints in every way. Yes the CGI is strange but I can overlook. The movement though is stiff. The movie is made from a ""confession"" from a guy who's been proven to be a liar and has been mainly debunked! I REALLY wanted this to even be just good.... the cast alone I wanted them to pull it off. And there hasn't been any good mob stuff since Sopranos (although I like the older stories). But I just couldn't. It's so ... slow... stiff and the story line is .... boring. This guy makes the Iceman Kulkinski seem credible. I tried to like it. I really did. But wound up very disappointed. I give it 3 stars mainly because it is an ensemble cast and as others have said, this would have been good made a decade or two ago. And maybe 120 minutes in length. Final note: to those who say this is an instant classic and The Godfather of our time.... NO! This will be forgotten soon. And I doubt it will ever be reviewed as a cult classic unless it becomes so bad it's good.... which would be sad for the actors involved.",3
"Unfortunately, I have to agree with the other reviewers who were not impressed with this movie. I remember thinking it was enjoyable enough when I saw it in the movie theater in 2016. It's colorful, it's a ride, and it's a love letter to L. A. But after seeing it again recently, I realized just how utterly mediocre and overrated it is. Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling are likable actors, but neither one of them can sing or dance well enough to be starring in a musical (and it doesn't really matter if Ryan Gosling sang and danced when he was a kid because that was a long, long time ago). Frankly, it was painful for me to listen to their thin, breathy, and barely audible (and in Emma Stone's case, very raspy) singing voices. As for the dancing, their dancing wasn't anything special or difficult. I wasn't expecting to see dancing on the level of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers or Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse, but I was underwhelmed and fell asleep. It appears that most of the rabid fans of this movie are fans of Ryan Gosling and/or Emma Stone and/or people who have not seen proper musicals with better singing or dancing.

I admire Hollywood's attempt to revive the big, colorful musicals of Hollywood's Golden Age. For that reason, I give it 1 star.",1
"The women in this movie are terrific: Michelle Yeoh, Stephanie Hsu, Jennie Slate. But the plot and script are weak. The metaverse aspect asks viewers to suspend more belief than I was able. Absurdest comedic lines fell short. Plot development dialogue rang false. Intimate characters mother tounge is Mandarin and husband and wife talking to other in English. So much came across as unnatural... in the end it was not for me so two enthusiastic thumbs down.",2
"I enjoyed the first 45 minutes of the film. I found the way Jackson (Bradley Cooper) and Ally (Gaga) met, began their collaboration, and fell in love, to be captivating. The high point of the film was the first time they performed live together. The on-stage scenes were filmed beautifully and realistically.

I found the rest of the film to be mediocre because of minimal character and plot development. Here's an example: Ally gets into a fist fight with policemen early in the film, which set an expectation that this side of her character would be elaborated later on. But - oddly - she never portrayed any form of (physical) aggression thereafter. This fist fight snippet had me waiting for scenes of jealousy and heated arguments, in response to the many challenges of being involved with a major rock star (e.g., him being on tour, late nights with band members and roadies, long-distances, infidelity, groupies etc). Ally didn't get the chance to explore and react to these kinds of experiences at all, which made me question why the fist fight scene was even shot to begin with. In relation to this, I have to ask: where were the groupies? Where were the backstage stories? How can a rock extravaganza exist without any backstage action? I just didn't find the 'context' of the relationship between a rock star and a rising star to be realistically portrayed.

Another character/plot weakness included Ally's development as a musician. She started as a scruffy, unconventional, rock singer (which suited her), but then rather abruptly ""sold out"" to become a pop star (we got to hear horrendous songs at that point), and ended up in a posh concert hall propped up like a Celine Dion (!) I found these transitions to be bizarre, boarding on the surreal.

I think Gaga was the weakest link in this film. While her role could have been 'easy' for her (she has relevant experiences to draw from after all), she struggled. To the contrary, Cooper's rock star performance was almost effortless, but still, I was expecting more complexity, more to be going on in his personal life. Apart from the references to his troubled childhood, it was as if he had been carrying no other personal baggage at the time he met Ally - how could this be? Give us an ex-wife, a child from a woman living in another country - something to show that he has... well, lived! Didn't Cooper read any rock star bios prior to this?

I also didn't like the end. Jackson may have had weaknesses, he may have been a recovering alcoholic and drug addict, but I found his last move to be out-of-character. He did show quite a bit of maturity throughout the film and I thus felt that he could have ""helped"" Ally in a different way. The end was a classic example of cheap sentimentalism; some viewers were crying, so I guess you could call the film a tearjerker.

It's an okay film that's been overrated by viewers and critics alike.",5
"Can't get enough of that flat, icy gray digital, monochrome style? Look no further. They're cranking these suckers out these days. You've seen this story before and it's decent, but man is it flat. Little to no depth.",3
This is like watching a boring movie that takes forever to get to the plot. Disappointed that I had to wait for this(pandemic). This is supposed to be about super heroes. I'm not interested in their mental health issues unless there is tons of action and so far action has been at a minimum. That'll teach me to expect action in such a genre . Hopefully falcon & winter soldier will have more action and less about feelings,2
"I guess it had to contain the warning in intro, something like ""Only for book and game fans"". We, who didn't read or played, can hardly fit in. That Witcher character is mild, soft, wondered in from another set. Most of the situations between the kingdoms are from another story and it looks like they are continuing. Honestly, i have no idea who is this Witcher dude, what is he doing, why is getting beaten over and over again... i dont like it and this is one of the rare tv shows that i just cant finish, too boring 👎👎👎",3
"It had a little unneeded jokes, and there were some scenes venom did not need to talk in. The movie was great.",9
"All together, the show isn't bad. When it shines, it really feels unique and fun. When it falls flat, it really feels predictable and derivative. I think a lot of this falls on the editing. I found myself a bit baffled as to why they decided to reveal various bits information in the order that they did. It's as if they thought the audience would be too stupid to remember plot points revealed earlier in the very same episode or to put two and two together. It was a bit infuriating to be honest. The pacing gets way out of whack at times, and again, that comes down to the editors. Stuff tends to really drag, and it feels like they were struggling to fill time.

As for what works, Robert Sheehan is fantastic and his character really makes the less pleasant parts of the show more manageable for me. David Castaneda plays a great jerk. All in all, the main characters are good actors, but apparently not even Netflix can avoid the odd ""TV actor"" here and there. I really dig the art direction. The rest of the show is just...alright. Nothing to call home about. The music is usually really well done. I say usually as there were a few scenes where the music choice really didn't fit, but that's a nitpick when there are far worse problems to deal with here. Sigh.",7
"This movie is still great but I feel the show, specifically season 1, built on the themes and ideas of this movie fantastically and improves them. The movie has less time to develop everything it's trying to do but it's difficult to compare it to anything else because of how unique it is. Pulp Fiction is a thriller that we could compare, an id rather watch that most times. Where the movie Fargo excels at is being small; the characters, the story, etc. It's grounded and realistic, unlike some aspects of the show. If you haven't seen the show yet I would recommend trying the movie out first to see the developed between it and the show.",8
"Out of respect for the fact that these people once made good, even great films, I sat through the entire unbearable mess. Terrible acting, painfull direction, and even a poor sound track done on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.",2
"Killer became apparent from the start but it was a fun movie with a great cast! I was expecting twist and turns throughout the movie to be honest though. At first, I did second guess my predictions, they seemed too easy and taking a guess to whom the killer was seemed so obvious. This did have a bit of likeness to Murder on the Orient Express (with the murder mystery aspect). I have yet to see Knives Out, the first movie that started it all. I wasn't aware of the first film but I've seen a lot of the hype on Glass Onion and I'm glad I watched! Now I'm excited to watch Knives Out as I enjoyed the sequel and would recommend it for sure.",8
I liked it because it is the first movie which have hindi abusive language and i have never seen such a movie with such great story line and one of the darkest villain and hero .such a great acting by Manoj Bajpayee and Tigmanshu Dhulia and direction by Anurag Kashyap and great story by Zeishan Quadri which is by the way based on true life. GREAT MOVIE MUST WATCH FOR ALL,10
"Before I watched this movie I checked its IMDb rating and was convinced by 30,000 IMDb users that the movie was 8.4/10. This put it ahead of Scarface, The Princess Bride, and The Big Lebowski on the top 250 movies list. In my opinion Superbad is no where near as good as any of these 3 movies.

SUPERBAD is not SUPERGOOD. It's not even good. At best it's 6/10.

Superbad is not groundbreaking in its material. Superbad does not flow well at all and is veeeeerrrryyy drawn out in lots of places. I think American Pie was much funnier, with more action, and with better character interactions.

But perhaps it was just my high expectations. However, when a movie rates higher than a movie like The Big Lebowski, my expectations go through the roof.

I will concede that Jonah Hill was brilliant in patches, but he had some scenes that were so stupid they more than offset the good ones.

Conclusion: Average comedy that shouldn't rate on the top 250 list amongst the classics.",6
"I used to think this film was great, but then I grew up. Greater sophistication means greater appreciation for the majestic perfection of the original. Unfortunately, it also means the glaring faults of this flick are all the more obvious with each viewing. This film contrasts the rising nationwide fame and influence of Michael Corleone, a more cold-blooded version of his brilliant father Don Vito, with the early life of Don Vito and the beginnings of the Corleone crime family. Problem is, even though Robert De Niro's portrayal of Vito is brilliant, to be honest, we don't care. The current situation in late 1950's Las Vegas is more interesting and faster paced, making the retro turn-of-the-century scenes anti-climactic and an unwelcome break in the real action. More flaws abound. An assassination attempt against Michael is blamed on two different parties at once, and we are left wondering which one Michael really thinks betrayed him. When Michael finally tells Fredo, we are left wondering if he's telling the truth, when I think we're supposed to be fully aware at that point. Michael always knows a lot more than we do, and that's a problem. Hyman Roth could have been a great movie villain, but nothing he does or says in this movie makes any real sense. Again, his motives are murky, and he knows more than we do. Is he motivated by revenge for Michael's killing of Moe Greene? or by greed? we're never sure. His health is so bad, we might believe he should retire, but why he doesn't is left unclear. There are several major choices made by characters in this movie that I didn't buy. One by Michael, one by Fredo, one by Kay. Of them all, I'm most inclined to buy Fredo's, but even then, the flick doesn't explain it properly. At the end of this flick, as a result of Michael's choice, Connie should have a very emotional reaction, similar to her final scene in the first film, but Coppola, inexplicably and unfairly, robs her of that. The film ends before we can see it. I think there was a constant tug-of-war between Coppola and Puzo that resulted in these issues. The first flick was a direct adaptation of the book, but there was no book this time around. The purpose of this flick, which it accomplishes to a certain degree, is to show Don Vito building a family and a life in America, and his cold-blooded heir Michael destroying it. If the plot threads had made more sense, this could have been a great film.",7
"The movie was , ""ehh!"" Not the best Adam Sandler movie; especially with Jennifer Aniston. Was definitely expecting more after, ""Just Go With It,"" featuring them both! So the movie was ok!",6

Definitely not a 10. Just an ok movie",6
"The producer must have had a hard time choosing what nog to show in the series. So many spellbinding moments. Fans could have gone happily for a one on one translation. The cast is sublime, the set looks amazing. But all of that depends on the writing of the Mother of this universe, Deborah Harkness. And boy, do the All deliver. Looking forward to the next season(s!)",10
"Dil Se has got everything: 1. Humor: It's quite funny in parts. 2. Love: It's a story of true love at first sight. 3. Action: It has good fight scenes. 4. Social commentary: It shows India's war on terror, and the wartime horrors that people endure in Kashmir. 5. Music: It has great choreography and music, although the songs disrupt the plot. The first song is a fantasy that takes place on TOP of a train going through beautiful mountain scenery just after Amar has fallen in love with the mysterious Meghna. It is Indian pop music at its best!

I recommend renting this one on DVD so that after the movie, you can go back and watch the songs again. Watching the first song of the movie a dozen times before returning it is highly recommended ESPECIALLY if the movie's ending troubles you.",9
Overall good acting. Did they fire the script writer for the first season?,3
"I Loved ""knives out"" and really wanted to see the sequel on the big screen. Despite it going almost straight to Netflix. Think they might of misjudged that considering how busy the cinema was but anyhow.

""Glass onion"" is a decent followup. The story was really the best part of the original movie and its the same with this one. Even if it does take longer to get going and feels a bit more full of itself.

There was also the great cast in the first movie. And there's a stab at that here too. But even with Edward Norton onboard, there aren't really any stand out performances or anything, and all of the characters are pretty unlikeable.

Don't want to completely compare ""Glass onion"" to the movie before it because it is a good mystery movie with its clever moments and definitely worth a look. It deserves to do well. But I did prefer the last one.",7
"Might be fine for younger kids who haven't seen this same plot 100 different times. But I had to give up 30 minutes in.

When the wise old master selects Po to be the new ""dragon warrior"", the headmaster of the famous kung fu school is outraged, planning to force Po out of training by any means necessary.

That's the first 30 minutes. Now really, how many adults reading this don't already know how the story plays out? Cute slapstick, though.",2
"Millie B Brown is fantastic, charming, charismatic & is the highlight of this dull lifeless movie. This film is 30 minutes too long & could not care less about the ""useless boys"" storyline.

This film could've been a great mystery looking for her mother. Instead this a chore to get through. Superman wasn't able to superhero his way out of this lifeless performance.

This is a hard skip.",4
"The movie had no substance, only had fight scenes. The alleged kidnapping had no relation with what happens next; Chris Hemsworth's character could have been a deranged psychopath who kills law-enforcement officers for fun, and the movie would have remained the same. An apparently righteous hero cannot justify killing law enforcement officers who were probably just following orders. And those orders were justified too - especially after Chris Hemsworth's character killed dozens of uniforms.

The trailer said it was a fight between two drug lords. We never see any of the alleged drug lords to be involved in any drug business. None of the drug lords command a big army of their own.

The drug lord of Bangladesh was not believable in his role, not sure if he was a bad actor, or he simply could not pull off a foreign language.

Next, there is the issue of the Dhaka city. Except for some aerial footage, none of the scenes were from Dhaka. They portrayed a city in some dirt poor country, war-ridden African country - and Dhaka did not fit the bill.

Also, the movie does not show anything quintessential Dhaka - if they claimed to be taking place in Colombo, Kathmandu, or any other city - they would have to change only a few props. Moreover, no actors spoke in any Bangladeshi accent. In fact, it was obvious they were all from the Indian state of Bengal. This is why directors should not use a cultural reference without understanding it. The saddest part was, they could have hired one or two actors and screenwriters from Bangladesh, and do this better.

However, no amount of cultural course correction could have made the movie better. This was the very definition of a cliche movie - which was probably fine as long as the movie did not claim to be something bigger than that. In the end, I did not even remember the name of Chris Hemsworth's character, nor the name of David Harbour's character, and I never cared for any of them.

Netflix should make better investments in the future!

PS: if finding Bangladeshi actors were that difficult, then they should have flipped the story. The Indian drug lord could have kidnapped Bangladeshi drug lord's son.",2
"Just kept waiting and waiting and waiting... I guess this movie is just not for me.

Cast did an outstanding performance tho.",2
"I'm in my late thirties and I find the storyline awesome - I love the way the story unfolds bit by bit during each episode. A lot of thought has gone into the script and the way the actors are portrayed, you can really feel the emotions even though it's animation. You have to be watching from start to finish to really appreciate what's going on, otherwise like my partner, you'll think its just some silly action going on, which is not the case!",10
"Don't waste your time on it. The plot is a mess. The only good scene is at the beginning of the movie, with a great car chase. This is where the 1 point i gave goes to. The rest is a continuous zero",1
"Watching this movie was like looking over the shoulder of a teenager playing an especially violent video game. Nothing but endless fight scenes, each new one bloodier than the one preceding it. There is never any real explanation of where the bad guys come from, what they really want, or how they have access to endless numbers of mercenaries willing to march into one bloody slaughter after another. Patrick Stewart offers the only part of the movie that I would grace with the name of ""performance.""",5
"Loki is completely different from other superhero series. It has an good story ,cast and execution. The story is twisted like dark and it will blow your mind away. It is definitely a must watch show if you are following marvel movies.",9
"Anyone who rates this below a 7 is typical example of glass half empty, only looking for things to complain about, most likely in every area of their lives too.

The only flaw, especially for people who didn't read the books nor played the games, is the explanation in timeline and lore.

It has been translated beautifully from the books, with great balance between in depth character development, and wonderfully choreographed action.

Honestly; people who rate this insufficient, are sad pessimistic sobs. Always the same criteria on the writing and/or acting, no concrete examples, just vague whining and complaints is all they seem capable of.",1
"First: Hats down to actors who did an excellent job in bringing to life some of our favorite characters. Henry is simply amazing, i seriously don't have the right words to describe his mind blowing performance as Geralt. Joey also did an amazing job for portraying Jaskier, as well as Anya for Yennefer.

The big problem i had with watching this series wasn't the fact that some things were changed, or the complex timeline or cast...

The BIG problem is that there is too much focus on Yennefer's past which is not relevant for the first season at all. I got the feeling that Yennefer got more screen time than the rest of the characters put together. My opinion is that they should have been more focused on her personality and her interaction with Geralt instead of her past in the first season.

Because of that, all other characters who have so much depth suffer. Watch an episode and ask yourself ,,What is my opinion on Calanthe or Foltest"", you wouldn't be able to describe them with more that one or two sentences based on what you saw.

This series must go through Yennefer's past, but this was not the right timing at all. Many stories were cut short to the point that they weren't explained good enough, so the viewers who haven't read the books don't really know what was actually at stake when something happened. Also, the impact that some stories should have had was too weak in comparison to the impact they had in the books. Don't get me wrong, the series is quite good. If i am to judge only actors performances, it would be 10/10, but overall is a solid 8/10 with great fight scenes, amazing atmosphere and visual effects etc...",8
Hoping for more than a 7th season but all things must come to a end. Hoping for a spin-oof at least. With Daisy Johnson (Chloe). Best actor!,10
"I must say I have not really been much of a fan of the military aspects of the MCU - But 2022 is just around the corner, and Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye is about to complete its first season. Thus wrapping up the Disney+ aspect of the MCU Phase 4 slate for 2021. And so far, Falcon and the Winter Soldier is the best and most meaningful offering from Phase 4 of the MCU at the time of this writing.

The show puts in the work and does a lot very well. It is profound and emotional on many levels as it tries to tackle both real problems, as well as MCU problems resulting from many years of storytelling which culminated the infinity saga in Endgame. Although it does not tackle all these problems perfectly, it does more than enough to tell a well-rounded story. A story where events occur within a coherent plot that carries forward both the MCU and the characters in the show in a genuine and meaningful way. This all allowed for real character growth as well as a richer universe which made an unexpected fourth Captain America movie with Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson as 'Cap' a reality. Not to mention Sam and Bucky are great frenemies.

Overall, it's superb and a must watch for phase 4. Binge-watch it.",9
"so fan is one of the most anticipated movie of shah rukh khan of 2016.After dilwale,HNY and CE, SRK stepped out of his comfort zone and carved out his best-FAN.FAN is an irrational thriller ,diffrent from other typical Bollywood masala,having no lead actress,no songs no marketing because of which it fails to make an impact on box office despite having SRK on cards.Action,drama,emotion and fandom-this is your 150 minute of experience.Fan is an emotional roller-coaster which ends up with tears in eyes for Fan.Watch it if you like Hollywood type no song ,intense story great acting,srk deserves a filmfare for this.Film has some flaws but can be ignored as Srk overshadows all flaws with his acting skills,the vfx team did excellent job and the make-up man-Greg canom did excellent with his creativity of gaurav's physique and face",10
"The Story of Dunkirk was an EPIC event, a key event of WW2. This film, in my opinion just did not make it as far as getting the idea across that this was a miraculous. mammoth undertaking. This film has some good points but it floundered. You get the feeling there are only a handful of boats and planes involved. I just did not feel the SCOPE of this undertaking.",3
"This movie puts paid to the notion that the OTT platform will produce better Hindi films. With Rajkumar Rao, Huma Quereshi, Radhika Apte in lead roles, I thought this would be a great watch. Alas, I was wrong. From the opening scene where a man is mudered by someone in a factory using a robotic arm that lifts, the film is wierd. It's based on a Japanese novel, where the robotic arm thing might work, but in the Indian setting, the robot is a tacky looking thing without any context. They shouls have staged the murder in a dairy plant instead.

After the totally confusing opning scene, the story moves quickly. In fact, it moved too quickly, giving us no chance to figure out the characters that are introduced in rapid succession. Three directors of this robot company plot to murder the chairman's slutty secretary (Huma Quereshi, with the name Morica Machod. Such a mean dig) who they've all slept with and who is now blackmailing them. This sounds like an interesting enough story when you tell it, but the execution is terrible. Bad screenplay, poorly written dialouge. There's just so much the actors can do, given the material.

This not really film noir by a long stretch. The body count is so high, with a new murder every ten minutes, that it seems like a Rambo film. The one good thing about the movie is its running time of only 2 hours. I watched it through the bitter (very silly) end, just so I could write this review in all fairness. Monica O My Darling has put me off watching Hindi movies and serials on OTT for the next ten years at least.",3
"A way to heighten public emotion by highlighting the worldwide heroes of a bygone era is still right as an entertainment that allows people to look away for a moment from the terrible reality through self-projection, and to release them from their daily lives. That way is important from a business perspective.

During the WWII, the United States was on the verge of becoming a world leader in both name and substance. Like watching a sports game where you knew the outcome would be that your team would certainly win, the atmosphere of that era alone is enough to send audience into a whirlpool of enthusiasm and excitement. However, perhaps they ran out of great men to tell their stories, they finally decided to set up ""the father of an atomic bomb"".

I know well that Christopher Nolan and his works are internationally acclaimed. But in this global age, the abolition of nuclear weapons is uniformly advocated, and the devastation in Ukraine and Gaza is daily reported. Still, could he be forgiven if he only depicts a crazy man's life poetically and skillfully?

What this film does is simply to glorify the use of nuclear weapons.

The film clearly shows the crystallization of the justification of atomic bombings, which must have been carried out as a national educational strategy in 80 years. The maximum political abuse of science can not be portrayed completely without the depiction of the people vaporized within seconds, the horrific sight of citizens, and its physical aftereffects that lasted for the half of the century. This is irrelevant that the naïve and timid Oppenheimer did not visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki during his visit to Japan.

In 2023, G7 summit was held in Hiroshima, where heads of each government including President Biden visited the Peace Memorial Museum for the first time in 80 years. This historical moment made them retrospect that mankind killed people comparable to those in Ukraine and Gaza for only four days. If CNN doesn't broadcast the fight scenes there, viewers would condemn it for biased reporting. If Nolan is truly a wise man, he will realize at the end of his life, as Oppenheimer did, that he made a terrible mistake in his great career.",2
"Directed by Tim Burton... Music by Danny Elfan... The look of the frame, the acting and story all remind me of the two now classic 90s Adam's Family Feature Films... Wednesday was my favourite character in the films, especially the second one when she and Pugsley got sent to Summer Camp...

Christina Ricci in those films as Wednesday was floorless, and it was great to see her appear in this too. Ortega's turn as the main character was excellent she is quickly becoming a great actress. I think you need to give the series time to develop and remember that it's target audience is quite wide, I don't think it's meant to be too dark. Just like the 90s films it plays on the dark and morbid humour, but with the teen angst mixed in.

Definitely worth watching if you are intrigued, but remember that it's not an 18+ rated adult only tale... it's a modern tale on these ever classic characters, think along the lines of the Netflix Sabrina series... If you liked that, then this should be right up your alley.",8

"How can a show be so bad right at the start?! I guess that's a special trait of Marvel films and shows. They really know how to turn semi interesting characters in to sub mediocre trash.

I've given the three shows a chance and I've decided never again to make the same mistake. Crappy CGI and stories, bad acting and a plot that has more holes than a dry sponge.

Please avoid at all costs!",1

Season 2 is quite unlike season 1. Not that great. The characters are also not very interesting. So many contemporary things have been shown which spoil the original story line and seem quite unneeded.,6
"At its high points - the first act and the climax - Iron Man 2 is actually better than the first film. Everything up to and including the action scene in Monaco is just great fun to watch: the action, the character interactions, and of course Robert Downey Jr's wonderful portrayal of Tony Stark. And the action scene at the end is pretty epic.

The problem is, the film just stops being so much fun in-between. In a large proportion of this time, it's either going too slowly with little happening that's exciting or even particularly interesting, or it's providing some silly moments like Iron Man lounging on a giant display donut. To be fair, there's no problem with the many subplots this movie has: they all blend together quite smoothly.

The acting in this film deserves credit: almost everybody does a great job. Robert Downey Jr and Gwyneth Paltrow are just as entertaining as they were in the first film, Jon Favreau gets more to do as Stark's chauffeur, Don Cheadle is actually a little better than Terrence Howard as Rhodie (again, maybe because he has a bigger role), Mickey Rourke portrays a decent but overall ordinary villain, and once Scarlett Johansson is allowed to do something substantial with her own action sequence, she's well worth watching. The only weak link is Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer, who gets quite annoying after a while.

Overall, Iron Man 2's slow middle section prevents it from being better than the first film as a whole, which is a shame considering how brilliant the beginning and end segments are.",7

"Anthony and Joe Russo give Captain America the film he deserves with their 2014 film ""Captain America: The Winter Soldier."" This is a comic book blockbuster that has heart, wit, and a political message. It's a smart film that doesn't get caught up in visual effects and explosions. It has something to say while entertaining us with the things we expect from a Marvel film.

""Captain America: The Winter Soldier"" finds Steve Rogers/Captain America (played by Chris Evans) in modern Washington, D.C. and navigating through the politics of his new world. The good guys and bad guys are not as clear anymore and he has to face a new threat in the mysterious Winter Soldier.

This film has impressive action scenes, solid performances, and a well written script that balances humor, character, and story. It's a political thriller that makes us look at big brother government, drone technology, and the line between freedom and fear. You could watch this film at the surface level and enjoy it or you can look at these political messages and enjoy it just as much. That's what I like about this film. It doesn't want to dumb down the audience. It wants to make them think and have fun at the same time.

Personally, I think ""Captain America: The Winter Soldier"" is the best of the phase 2 Avengers films. It might be too soon to say that with ""Guardians of the Galaxy"" coming out in August, but I was disappointed by ""Iron Man 3"" and ""Thor: The Dark World."" ""Captain America: The Winter Soldier"" builds on ""Captain America: The First Avenger"" and ""The Avengers"" very well. You don't have to see these films to enjoy it, but it gives more context for the characters and where they have been.

""Captain America: The Winter Soldier"" is a really good film that gives everyone a fun time and something to think about it.",10
"It's an intriguing storyline and I expected no less considering it's based on a Stephen King novel. I haven't read the book but probably will now!

The thing I'm not sure about is the production. Slightly over dramatised, plenty of macho bravado and a hint of sexism. 'I didn't arrest him myself as I wasn't sure I would be able to stop myself beating him up' - what kind of self respecting cop says that before he's got all the facts?? Plus one of a very few female characters calls the lawyer and being told to 'calm down' in a really unhelpful and patronising way. To name a few examples.

There seems to be a lack of professionalism and proper protocol on the cops' side too. I'm British and not sure how it works in the US but it seems to me they need a lot more evidence gathering and investigation before they lock somebody up like that. Plus the evidence is circumstantial (albeit very suggestive).

I suspect I know where this is going, but I'll watch the rest as I'm intrigued to know more, but the over dramatisation and lack of detail put me off. I do wonder what the book is like and will probably ready it now.",7
"This is a great show with 9 episodes out of which you have to go through first 3 episodes which are for the buildup of other 6 episodes. Keep watching this show with all your mind and focus. It was introduced as a sitcom at first but this show was much more than that as we all have expected too, this show creates base for some upcoming mcu movies like Dr. Strange, Captain Marvel , Avengers etc. I don't know the reason for all the hate for this show maybe the immature audience who left this show in between or maybe because they have trouble in digesting whats really going on here. This show was not released with all its episodes on one day but we had to wait for every episode , every week and i now think it was a good decision its not for just one go coz its hard to let all this in one go and binge watch due to buildup in first 3 episodes ending felt kinda rushed but i think it was great , the show is mainly focused on wanda , she is the boss here🔥. Wanda is now officially the most powerful avenger in existence. She is scarlett witch and even more powerful than sorcerer supreme , which has its own explaination and i kinda liked that. Don't pay attention to negative reviews watch this show now, if you haven't. Thanks.",8
"The Godfather: Part II is perhaps the only movie ever made with not one single flaw. While other movies may be great, they are all flawed. I have see this phenomenal sequel many times and still have not spotted a flaw. From a great story line to first class acting, this picture has it all.

If that doesn't say enough, all you have to think about is that this masterpiece is a sequel. It is a follow-up story to a classic. Usually, sequels are often weak and never live up to the original. The Godfather: Part II is the exception to the rule as it not only equals the original, it makes it subordinate!",10
"There must be some kind of inside joke or something I'm not getting, because there is no way this is a 9/10 show.

It is ridiculously slow, like to the point where 40 minutes into the show it feels like hours have gone by. If you can get through 3 episodes of this then you have more patience than I do.

Also, I think it's in black and white, but the production quality is so far below Netflix's standard it's legitimately hard to tell.

Enjoy!",2
Michael never truly followed through on his earlier pledge to lead the family business into legitimate enterprises. When Merle Johnson who was dating Connie wanted to discuss a business opportunity with Michael he refused to talk with the man and ordered Connie to break up with him. Although we'll never know Merle's opportunity might have been a good legitimate business opportunity for the Corleone family. Sad that Michael never gave Merle a chance to tell him what his idea was. There might have even been a place for Fredo in such a business.,8
"I like how the actors done the movie in this way, very nice movie I like it",7
"There's a line where a movie loses any aspirations towards art or significance and becomes only a product. We all know this just to well - recent decade has basically led cinema to the murky pastures of cheap entertainment, yet another area big biz benefits from. There's literally no limits to what has been awkwardly transfered onto the tv screen. And the Barbie flick is just that - another step away from what movies used to and ought to be.

What we've got here is just nothing. A big nothing badly wrapped with a celophane of story that makes no sense, carries no worth and is so poorly filmed. Even seeking ""fun"" in this one is like grasping for a breath in an abbatoir. All these comments about feminism or meaningfulness overlook the basic issue - this is just un-watchable by even the lowest standards.

I'm sort of used to industry mocking me as a viewer every step of the way. But Barbie is just one step beyond that. It doesn't even deserve being reviewed by standard film criteria because it meets none.",2
"Marvel's Moon Knight show is one that does not truly stand out and give enough attention to its audience. Though, it does have a somewhat intriguing story, it is one that is very hard to follow and seemingly only points to fans that know Egyptian mythology and the gods. Oscar Isaac's performance is well done being what the character entails, however it does not stand out as anything remotely special. This show is very confusing and hard to follow, it certainly does not want the viewer to want more and thirst for another episode. This show is not worth the time for much of anything, so all in all it is quite sub par.",4
"My mistake, I trusted an IMDB rating of 8.0 and thought this would be about an Asian family cultural conflict with US, or something along the lines. Did not watch the trailed.

The title made no sense but hey, artistic license, right? Wrong. The title is appropriate and descriptive of the movie.

I find the art in this movie is a thin brightly painted veneer over a rock tumbler, mixing and crushing any strand of narrative that may have inadvertently formed during shooting. It's like someone drunk trying to piece together last night's events. It feels heavy, pungent and ultimately hopeless. Flashing lights warning.

The whole movie could have been 5 minutes if the loopy kung-fu wannabee art, which felt mostly surplus quality, would be stripped away.

"The handsome and always-bankable Tom Cruise gets me duped into shelling out $5.99 to rent this. After $1.4 billion+ worldwide gross earnings at the box office and nonstop heavy promotion, I feel compelled to join the bandwagon to revel in this cinematic experience. Fifteen minutes in, I am still giving the movie the benefit of the doubt that something ground-breaking is about to happen. Instead, the shallow, cheesy dialogue continues for the rest of the movie, making all of the characters one-dimensional, even Maverick. Why is Maverick so humble and smiling all the time while the rest of the characters are obnoxious braggarts? It seems that the budget is mostly focused on the set, props, and g-force training for the actors, and they've forgotten to come up with a good script and decent character development. The casting of Jennifer Connelly is a poor choice. Next to the charming Tom Cruise, she has zero charm and therefore there is zero chemistry between them. I should have read the bad reviews first before renting this, instead I trusted Tom Cruise and the movie's box office success, and now I'm $6 and 2 hours in the hole.",4

"In and of itself a good show. A pleasant surprise to see a cast full of actors over the age of 18, amazing scenery and the story flows quite well. It is very disappointing to see that the screen writers felt the need to impose their vision on what was an incredible story - the ""new twists"" really take a lot from the story",7
"When I went to watch this movie, I went to watch it as the amazing combo, Barbinheimer (Barbie and Oppenheimer). I tried my best to avoid spoilers for both of these movies, and let me just say, going into this movie blind made this a phenomenal experience. The way Stereotypical Barbie changes is a pleasant surprise. And the way this movie deals with problems in modern society upfront and, while admittedly toned down a bit, they're all still there. The plot of this movie makes it a fantastic watch, and I was delighted by not only how the jokes were seamlessly thrown in, but the jokes themselves. This movie wasn't only just Kenough. This was so much more than being just Kenough for the children and adults in the audience. The movie's so self-aware, but it isn't the usual type, this is a type of self-awareness that can lead you to view the world differently. The problems Barbie struggles with aren't unreasonable, they're relatable at heart and spread a good message. This movie is wonderful and I highly recommend it.",10
"The film Gravity is awful because:

The dialogue between the characters is unrealistic. The characters themselves are unrealistic. You find yourself wondering why the lead character was allowed on the mission in the first place.

Then the real problems start. The physics is all wrong! ALL OF IT! The film is so heavily based around bastardised physics that it becomes unwatchable. The reason for this is that most of the events which occur in the film would never occur in real life. This film is supposed to be a thriller/drama/realistic horror? Yet it can be neither of these things. There is no realism in terms of the characters, their interaction between one another, the ""geography"" of space, or the science upon which the whole film is based. The lack of realism in a film that depends on it for its narrative and genre means that it loses all credibility and thus fails altogether.

Also, why call a film ""Gravity"" when as far as the astronauts are concerned, there is effectively none of it. Indeed, my repulsion to this film is far stronger than the micro-gravity that wouldn't be experienced by the astronauts because it would be too small to notice. One can only presume that they subconsciously called it gravity, on account of how weak it is. It is afterall, the weakest of the forces. Which is why Starwars is so much better.",1
"After the long wait for the beloved villain's return, Marvel is finally back with season 2 of LOKI. Although the season starts with the usual build-up as all the MCU shows, the big twist in Episode 4 and the finale left me rethinking the whole approach of Kevin Feige & co. The dynamic duo of Tom & Owen Wilson were as always the highlight with a lot of credit to Ke Huy Quan for making his MCU debut. The cinematography & VFX work is unique to past MCU projects. The show takes a new step into the genre of Sci-Fi and Superheroes & leaves me wondering if Marvel is going to stick to this new take rather than following the cliché superhero formula. All in all, really excited for upcoming Phases as this show is setting up something extraordinary and never seen before cinema experience. This show is not only the peak of Marvel but also a masterpiece in the world of TV shows.",9
"First of all: Perhaps I should have watched the previous John Wick movies first in order to find a value in this movie's plot. Well, I didn't watch the prequels. So, perhaps I may be missing the true core value of this flick. Who knows ...

First, the plot summary: People are getting killed over and over and over again. That's it. End of story. Period.

Yet, for what cause do they fight? So, they just hate each other?? ... or love each other? Hundreds of them? And they all just die in seconds? Where did all these fighters get their training from? How did they all master such training if they all die on a fast lane in the end?

For John & friends it doesn't seem sufficient to just immobilize their enemies and continue to deal with another person. Oh no, way off the mark! They compulsively must return to every seriously wounded person and finish him/her off while already ""serving"" their next slaughter victim ...

Actually, while watching the movie I couldn't fail to get the impression that I was barely audiencing a rendition of some gamer who is playing a first person shooter computer game. The plot didn't have any deeper sense than that at all. No goal to achieve other than killing everybody until John & friends were the last men standing. During the fight scenes I was from time to time looking out for a game score in the corners of the screen.

Considering the stunts: The flick was advertised for its great fight scenes. So, well - I came expecting ... great fight scenes. But what did I get: CGI fights. Animated computer characters fighting animated computer characters. How much more boredom can be portrayed than barely watching computer characters fight each other.

Anyone glorifying the fight seens here in his/her reviews: So, you don't recognize a plain CGI rendering when you're watching it? Really?? - So, you didn't recognize all the unnatural character movements during fights or shootings? You didn't recognize or realize that the whole Place Charles de Gaulle scene was a computer animation with no man nor dog nor any car being recorded in reality? You plainly have been watching a bloody computer rendering on a large screen and failed to recognize??

These unnatural rubber toy, superball movements of the CGI characters during fight scenes kept me wondering if I had accidentally visited one of those dreadful poorly computer animated Marvel flicks.

Well, I guess it should be clear to everyone that no-one ... I repeat: NO-ONE by far could have survived any of these fight scenes. John Wick would have died multiple times: Fully hit by a car, but suffering no harm, huh? Falling down the stairs hundreds of meters, but he's fine and immediately continuing to fight. Or he's crashing into another car unbelted. The car is broken, yet John is left uninjured - yeah, sure ...

Honestly, I'm a person who wants to believe. Yet, there is a limit that's being reached when it comes to a certain degree of incredibility. Now, that limit of credibility has by far been exceeded by this flick.

Next, the musical score was a true disappointment. It didn't convey any emotion. It just played some metal licks, being strung together, or boring loops that have been played.

By the way: What sense does it make for this decade's professional radio station to play vinyl records or multi-track tapes from a tape recorder?

Last but not least: Character depictions were shallow. Since the musical score failed to support the characters, I failed to feel for any of them. ... One of John's friends died? Well, OK, fine. Next.

For me, this movie was a true disappointment.",2

"The only thing I'd like to add to the discussion is this: Since Lauren (the creator) has obviously read the books, how is it possible that she doesn't want to adapt the books in an ENTIRELY FAITHFUL manner? Everyone agrees that Andrzej Sapkowski has created an amzing story so why doesn't she use the literal blueprint that has been given to her to create an amazing series? It's almost as if she read the books and then thought, ""I'm going to make my own version of the story"" - which makes you wonder, why adapt a story if you didn't like it in the first place?

It is TRULY sad how much a waste of potential this series is. Imagine what a comitted and invested crew could create.",1
"I thought the finale would've been better. I got really hyped up for it but it didn't seem as good as the series built it up to be. I love Wanda; she's awesome. I even got over the silly cheesiness throughout the series to love this show but it wasn't as good as I anticipated :/ Anyways, I guess I'll give it a 6.5/10. Also, Olsen is a great actress and I hope she does some major role smashing in the future! She really is a very talented actress and I can't wait to see more of her outside of Disney/Marvel. Thanks for reading. -Sina",6
"Setting aside the loaded politically correct dialogue and innuendos... an otherwise interesting plot is just ridiculed into the ground by 21st century marxist ideology...

If this plot and scenario ever becomes reality, Beam me up Scotty because they will autodistruct in 3 generations tops...

P.S. : Couldn't make it through 3 episodes, and I'm a diehard Sci-Fi fan... If they ever do decide to do the Foundation series with this kind of agenda I WILL find the writer and do unspeakable things to him/her.",1
"Season One and Season Two stayed true enough to the books, with a little punch up to the pace, to make for great streaming.

Season 3, which should have been the best, as the third book in the series was the best, fell a little flat, a little slow in pace. It strayed too much from the book, spent too much time preaching PC gospel, unnecessarily, as the whole theme of the series really is about the equality of all peoples. There was no need to stray from the story to appease the PC police, the story as written proved those points well.",8
"After reading the mixed reviews I decided to give it a chance. bottom line - I did not even finish the movie. The whole movie is just not interesting enough, packed with tons of cliche and shalow dialogs. Henry Cavill is not a good sherlock by the way. If you are an adult, i would not recommend watching this movie.",4
"In an attempt of creating a hopeless pastiche on Children of Men and Blindness this boring flick destroys all hope in a future for the post apocalyptic genre. It's pretentious, boring, pointless and awkward. It's really an embarrassment to watch. The worst thing this ""movie"" does is pretending to be serious, because it might have survived as a comedy. Because that's what it ends up being. It has no relevant allegoric message on the problems of society, the script reveals characters that are either horribly one dimensional, pretentious or outright stupid. Sandra Bullock is playing a kitsch artist with sociopathic tendencies, stumbling around in a world where a strange wind forces ""normal"" and ""ordinary"" people to kill themselves, because they witness some sort of ""truth"", while all the ""insane"" and ""crazy"" people are able to survive, because they thrive in this situation. It doesn't get more banal. All the symbols are worthless, the dialogues are gruesome and the photography is less than mediocre. You can see that everything is a film set. Badly lit. Boring. In the end it is revealed as a poor man's rip-off of The Road, but with an obvious and ridiculous happy ending. That I see people online wearing blindfolds and stumbling around on social media inspired by this bucket of waste makes me cringe. The future of film is grim if we're going to let blowhard hogwash like this slip through, even if it's in the graveyard of cinema: Netflix. Watch this if you want to fall asleep and wake up angry.",1
"And that cannot be said for a lot of programs now produced. With a cop show to your left and teen schlock to your right, ""Stranger Things"" keeps it real with rightly paced storylines and characters you can root for. It cannot always make good on its promises, especially in the later seasons, but this manner of nostalgic yet novel narrative must be commended.",7
"No substance whatsoever. Shame, since the Wizarding World has so much potential to expand itself if done properly. This is half baked.",5
WHO the hell gives this high ratings. These are the most boring and pointless two episodes I've seen.,1
Must see show and would recommend it to all. Don't watch in one weekend.,9
The writers seemed to not care about the timelines of the Harry Potter universe at all. This movie also adds so much nonsense to hp that it feels more like fan fiction. I'd rather like to see more than 2 fantastic beasts or maybe center the movie on the actual crimes of grindalwald. In the end it's obvious that these movies are much worse than hp and this movie is just a cash grab to stretch out a series and keep theme parks relevant.,4
"Beautiful cinematography, great acting, bad script, one hour too long. The ending is yet another Tarantino fantasy brought to life. But while other movies tell a story in the unique and awesome Tarantino way, this one is just bad. 2.30 hours wasted.",5
The film is pretty much average in every way. It overused its music. The makeup is really good except for some reason the main characters look clean while everyone else looks like they were in a war. The story was really shallow and it felt like the distance these characters had to travel was not very far due to the one take shooting style. One take cinematography can work really well (Ex. Birdman) if it feels like it adds to the film instead it just comes off as a gimmick for this film and doesn't add to an already shallow film with nothing new to say.,5
"This has to be one of the more disappointing movies I've seen in a while. With such a top-notch cast of talent with names such as Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, and especially Gary Oldman, one could be expecting to see a high-quality piece of cinematic entertainment.

Unfortunately, this was far from the case.

I used to be an avid comic book collector in my youth, and while Batman was never one of my favorites, I looked past that and put that past to keep an open mind and let the movie speak for itself. It really was not well-spoken.

The plot, while unlikely, is totally non-cohesive and one finds themselves constantly laughing throughout and the nonsense they are watching. The characters are weakly written (especially Gary Oldman's pathetically boring 'Good-guy' cop) and the screenplay could have been conceived of by a 12 year-old C grade student. I only watched this because it was on sale after Thanksgiving for $4.88 on DVD and I can honestly say it wasn't even worth that.

If you are really in the mood for a good comic book movie, watch the first X-Men movie. You will be far less disappointed.",2
I enjoy musicals. Some of the songs in this show are excellent - Sadly some of those singing are a little below par. (To be polite!) The story is interesting and covers some currently popular topics and rolls it into a passable film.,6
"OK

I bought a 3d TV JUST because I wanted to watch The Avengers at home. I watched it so many times - the bluray became blurry! This was after having watched it three times with different people in the cinema!

Fast forward with pee-holding excitement to Avengers 2: Age of Ultron. How can I summarise this without boring you with a shopping list? Basically: Everything right about the first Avengers - was MISSING in this one. As promised - I'll stop complaining there.

LOVED Paul Bettany though. He was superb as always in whatever he appears in! As was - surprisingly - Elizabeth Olsen (and I thought she'd be terrible - but she was actually excellent. All fragile, deadly, heartfelt, deep, angst-ridden, quiet rage and fear).

Overall? Put the soul back into the next one please. Missing the character development and warmth of a Whedon picture. Oh yeah - and please bring back Loki. Thanks X",2
This is one the most original movies of the 90s. The Coen Brothers do a excellent job in making this film.The acting is very clever. The plot is so original. I love how the story is so simple. It starts off as a simple non violent kidnapping that goes completely wrong. Jerry Lundegard works for a car dealership with his father in law and is an need of money for financial problems. So he hires two small time criminals to kidnapped his wife so his father in law can pay the ransom. Fargo is an excellent film and I highly recommend this movie to those that haven't seen it. It is filled with action.It is filled with suspense.It is also filled with some humor. Fargo is one of those types of movies that they don't make anymore. I give it a big thumbs up.,10
"What are they thinking? How is it possible that this crap movie got 14 ( ! ) Oscar nominations ? Did they really see it? It is bad from the beginning to the end. Saccharine-style and no substance. You see better musical numbers in commercials. The opening number was cringe worthy and then it got even worse. The singing and dancing is absolutely awful. The storytelling is so poor and predictable. It is an insult to the intelligence of every three year old. And even worse; the movie is so terribly terribly boring. ( I should have been warned although because the over-hyped movie Whiplash of the same director bored me almost to death before... ) .The only reason I did not leave the cinema was the beautiful and charming Emma Stone. Even she could not rescue this wreck of a movie. In the end it was a bitter disappointment. Is this the best what we can expect from Hollywood ? It is the perfect film for the Trump era. Thumb, hollow and a big nothing. Lets hope this era is short!",1
"To behonest i had very low expectations and i was overwhelmed after watching. I still think the show has some flaws when it comes to choice of actors (oh my...Triss), but that's just my personal problem since I'm a gamer and a reader and sadly, some characters were just too different from my image. But anyway, very well done. And I know many people have some problems with the timelines in the series, but i don't understand why. Simply because the important message was delivered to you on time and other things that were unknown were unimportant. I personally love the moment of realization, when you get to understand why was everything happening. I find it challenging and pleasing when show makes me puzzled for a while and then explains itself. Especially if you can pick up some small hints on how it's all gonna look like while you're watching. Can't wait for season 2",9
"We've seen the premise before but the committee definitely put their own spin on it. I hope it continues as the series continues to expand its story line and they take over the world. A lot of humor and action, I really enjoy this show.",9
"This show is really not funny. The production and imaging are amazing, but the plot is really lacking in quality. I am not sure what they are trying to achieve.",4
"I really don't know how you could get something this beautiful and expensive pst the drawing room. The only sense of scale of the evacuation come from a few clips of random people citing numbers, but you see what feels like 100 people on screen. The dialog is bland, but mostly non existant. Nolan tries to build tension with minor inconsequential things. The fact is you don't care about any of the characters so their suspense feels in-real. I saw this in theater and forgot all about it. So I figured I'd watch it again now that it's on Netflix, and now I remember why I forgot about it, it is simply forgettable.",3
"Current Oscar nominee for Best Picture from last year. Jeffrey Wright (up for Best Actor) stars as a down on his luck author/teacher whose work is well respected but comes up snake eyes in terms of sales. This hits home when he attends the reading of a fellow author's, Issa Rae, new novel which is replete w/racist stereotypes & modes of speech which still manages to gain financial traction & acclaim from the white world at large coupled w/his mother's, Leslie Uggams (Blind Al from the Deadpool series), debilitating mental faculties, he finds himself at odds w/his creative self & financial bottom line prompting him to write a similar book to Rae's as a fluke & hands it in to his editor, John Ortiz, using a pseudonym who comes back w/the bewildering news the book has sold & the word on the literary street is that it will be a hit. Perplexed at his turn of fate, Wright has to reconcile on how to move forward w/his ruse (especially after he's been pegged to judge the book & others for a prestigious yearly prize) while also navigating a new woman in his life, Living Single's Erika Alexander, & his ne'er do well brother, Sterling K. Brown (up for supporting actor) & did I mention the sleazy Hollywood director, Adam Brody, who's interested in turning his tome into a film? Adapted & directed by Cord Jefferson (who's up for adapted screenplay) based on Erasure by Percival Everett is a wonderfully nuanced satire which hits where it hurts in this racially biased society that favors all things real until it moves next door to them on their block. Gleaning wonderful perfs from all involved including Tracee Ellis Ross (who plays Wright's sister), Keith David & Miriam Shor, the film plays like a wonderful balm to those supposed treatises on race like last year's The Blackening getting the notes played at such pitch perfect exactitude, you almost lament the also-rans which'll come in its wake.",10
"So unique in tone, atmosphere and stakes. It's more of a political spy movie rather than a superhero one. The best part of this movie, is the winter soldier in my opinion. Spending time with the characters is a lot of fun as well. It's close to perfection but for me personally this movie missed just that extra punch to give it a 10. Still, a top 3 marvel movie for me tho.",10
"I wanted to see this since it had such rave reviews. Honestly cannot believe this movie won for Best Motion Picture. It was a decent movie, reminded me of a 21st century sci fi version of the Wizard of Oz, but just all over the place. The entire time I was watching it, I kept saying ""I can't believe this won best picture."" Michelle did a great job...loved her since Crouching Tiger...very iffy on Jamie Lee Curtis winning supporting actress...out of all the movies she's been it, I didn't see it with this one. It was a good Saturday night movie, don't think I will watch again. Just wasn't my cup of tea.",4
"Going to the cinema is a waste of money if you just not want only watch Margot. Barbie certainly had the potential for an original and fresh adventure musical, but alas. Unfortunately, even well-chosen actors, well-written songs or an original and fresh visual cannot save a completely tragic scenario.

A mess of banal clichés and a completely wasted opportunity. With such a budget, a cast and an interesting iconic toy, it should have been handled better.

The film has a very interesting and brisk first half, but from the second it drags on at a disgusting pace.

Even worse is the completely inappropriate, overblown and absurd push towards feminism.",4
"Just plain disappointed in this show. These two characters did fine in the larger context and when buoyed by the considerable star power that resides in the mcu but they are clearly not capable of lighting up the night sky on their own.

The acting really is pretty stiff. They don't take all the blame though...the plot is weak and the script, stilted.

Really just blah. No urgency here at all. Nothing that compelled me to keep watching. I suffered through the first three episodes before tapping out.

7.5 score on IMDB??

Not even close!!",3
"When creating tension one has to be in support of the subject, or cause of the protagonists. If one isn't on their side then the tension is greatly diminished.

The quality of the film is therefore irrelevant. Two bombers from a terrorist organisation are trying to escape and there is no tension, since you don't want them to succeed.",3
"Awhile ago, I viewed and reviewed the movie, ""GRAVITY!"" At that time, I gave the movie a score of 2/10. Today, I happened across the movie as part of a return from a search for another movie. I said to myself, ""Self, there was a lot of work put into making that movie! The cinematography, alone, was fair to good, and, in places, the effects were bordering on outstanding. (See what a kid with a descent computer and the latest cell phone can do in his bedroom?) Maybe I should give this movie another look."" I did. Maybe I shouldn't have. The re-review resulted in a score of 1/10! The movie is downright silly and wrong on so many levels! First, you have to buy into the fact NASA would allow such a poorly trained, dim-witted, crap-for-brains ""astronaut-scientist"" to ride one of their vehicles! Not likely! Then, you have to believe that, left on her own, she can read and understand English, Russian and Chinese! More than that, she knows how to fly and operate spacecraft from those countries! And, she believes that critical commands, like ""ABORT"", are beneath her! You can see why she was voted ""The One Astronaut You'd Love to Punch in the Nose in the Dead of Space, Then Leave Her!"" They REALLY missed the mark with this character! They needed to dump this actor for one more believable in all aspects. No...I was right the first time I reviewed this movie! The only ""good"" I can find in this movie is that it provided employment for a lot of folks! Period!",1
THE END OF THE F***ING WORLD- 91% Ive never seen this idea before and it is indeed very creative. The actors did a nice job portraying their roles and Even though the character development wasn't clear at times... I could still feel it. I binge watched this show because it is so interesting where the show grasps your attention until the final minute of the movie which might I add is absolutely astounding. Story Wise and Execution: 33.1/35 Acting: 22.2/25 Camera work: 19.1/20 Sound: 17/20,9
"First and foremost, Stranger Things is a very entertaining show. The acting, 80's references and a general lighthearted tone all mash to make a compelling show. The entire first season is about find Will Byers, a 12 year old boy that disappeared into the ""Upside Down"" a alternate dimension that corresponds with our world. After Will disappears, his friends find a girl (nicknamed Eleven) that says she knows where Will is. There are subplots that interlock with the story that are all interesting.

When I first heard about the show, the idea of a show built around child actor worried me a bit. Child actors, mostly, fall into two categories: genuine and disingenuous. Luckily the excellent direction from the Duffer Brothers and the performances from the kids fall into the former. 80's culture is perfectly ingrained into the story. There isn't too many, nor are they made the focal point of show. The film grain on the show is subtle enough to be noticeable to the audience, but again, is not too obvious. The music is mostly good, but it can be too electronic at times.

My problems with the show start with the demogorgon, a monster that lives in the Upside Down. **Minor spoilers** The demogorgon comes into real life through the wall in a sequence that feels like a bad sequel to The Last of Us. The build up for the creature is immense, but both the look and actions of the monster fall flat. Scenes like this lack real stakes, and this does not have much tension. **Major Spoilers** The last major scene has Eleven sacrifice herself to the demogorgon as she disappeared into the Upside Down. This was entirely forced and contrived. The series builds Eleven as essential to the puzzle that is the Upside Down, but this scene uses her as a plot device. It is your classic set up for another season that shies away from themes introduced through the entire season. It's a shame.

But those are just a few of my complaints. I doubt most people will have a problem with them. Overall though, it's just such a fun show to watch and I'm excited to see where it goes. Happy Bingeing!",8
"If this movie just could eliminate the fantasy comic book, unrealistic type of parts, it would have been near perfect. But the unrealistic comic book stuff brought it down two pegs. It was really unnecessary except to cater to the fans' expectations and desires.

If it wasn't for that stuff being included, I'd give it an 8, but because that stuff kept reminding me this was unreal fantasy comic book stuff, I have to reduce it because I just can't take it seriously. That's ultimately what made The Dark Knight so great; every fantasy-comic book unrealistic thing was explained and made to be real and believed.

6.5/10, and that little girl deserves an Oscar nomination.",6
"So the start of the film was a bit slow and there was not alot to get invested in at the beginning but as the movie rolls on I think it would be unfair to say it didn't peak some interest and enjoyment. This flick continues on to the end with not alot of originality and I guess some pretty obvious outcomes but does that mean this was a flop?

Glass Onion: A Knifes Out Mystery, while not being a movie that blew it out of the water it definitely didn't really dissapoint either. I think it definitely falls in the category of something to watch with a few friends at home.

The soundtrack was pretty good and I guess fitting to what was on display.

The cast was good to see, can't say they all did a great job but the bunch definitely had a little bit of synergy which did a good job as far as the pace is concerned.",7
Good actors and performances. But morally bankrupt story. Just trying to be so much more clever that it actually was. Shame as it could have been special.,5
"Season 1 was truly great. And I was literally counting down the days to season 2. Season 2 just doesn't work. Too many ""feelings"" and not enough testosterone. Amy could have been a worthwhile addition but was under-utilised. Billy Russo is just awful now. Crying, head-scratching, face rubbing schtick. Based only on series 2 I would have given it 3 stars.",6
Such a disappointment. The first 2 seasons were pretty fun to watch but the 3rd is a train wreck. The somewhat cute and dorky kids from the first couple seasons have grown up to be not very likable and for some reason foul mouthed. The romance between L and Mike that occupied most of the first three episodes was unbearable. I can see why the 12 and 13-year-old age range likes the show but if you're over 15 there's no reason to watch it. As usual with Hollywood they have stretched the storyline out too far and it's not even remotely interesting anymore. Hopefully this ends the series.,4
"This movie has no story, no point and no entertainment value and for me this move has no redeeming qualities. I fell asleep watching this twice and frankly only finished it out of the obligation of finishing what I started but otherwise I at no point derived any single bit of enjoyment watching this.",3
"The most important question is whether the directors of Witcher have heard books!? I was very much looking forward to the remake of the books, but what we got has nothing to do with the legendary books. Is it a shame that the books and this serial bear the same name!",1
"Even though the TV-show doesn't completely follow the novels, I really am drawn to the storyline.

I know the books back and forth and still I am intrigued by what will follow. Hope they will continue to do all three books. Since this is one of the most captivating trilogies I've read in a long while.

With the fist episode I wass't sure, also because I hope they would really follow the novel, but if you relax and don't think about the original nove storyline you will be swept away in a nice romantic story!",9
"What more can I say - this film has it all....

Action, Romance, Comedy, Suspense, Emotion, and almost forgot - Shahrukh Khan...

When the film was first announced back in 2002/3, i was very sceptical. I was saying to myself that i hope SK knows what he's doing by staring (and producing) a film directed by a new-comer. Boy was i wrong...

This has to be one of the most complete films i have seen and can watch it over and over again.

My sons are 9 and 6 and guess what they do when they are bored - yes, watch Main Ho Na

That's why it gets my 10 out of 10",10

"I don't get it. I look at the reviews and people make it sound like an OK watch. It isn't. It's really poorly written, the acting is like they're performing on SNL and it's just so absent of any polish.

And wow, the product placement in this movie is downright embarrassing sometimes. I don't like how we've kind of allowed this to happen to such a degree. There are parts of this movie that feel like 30 second commercials. It is not subtle at ALL - the blatancy of it provides some laughs though.

Overall this is a mess, like an AI generated script, with actors who couldn't afford their faces to be off the screen during the lockdown and are completely phoning it in.",2
"As someone that came very close to committing suicide, this show is objectively terrible. It glorifies and romanticizes depression, mental illness, and suicide. It's not ""edgy"" or ""woke."" It's harmful and degrading.",1
Some really scary parts and parallel universe characters storyline might be lost on younger kids. I think it's more geared for high school kids. My nephew who's 5 year old said he liked The Incredibles 2 better. He had to cover his ears for scary parts as soundtrack did invoke fear. Scariest Spiderman movie ever. As a cartoon it should have catered better for the lower age demographic. Other than that a visually stunning feast even though I prefer the look of more classical looking cartoons.,6
"When i first saw the trailer i thought i wasnt going to like it ! But then i said what the hell ? Lets give it a chance , it wont hurt , and i was right ! This show is superb , it has it all .",10
"What to say about this show ? It started relatively well, then after few episodes, you discover that the show has nothing to say.

We have to admit that this show will just remain a TV soap opera with easy violence and sex ... like if it needed to ""distract"" the viewer every 10 mins, without these elements the viewer may find time to think at what he is seeing.

Daemon Targaryen will probably soon join the Avengers.

Even if I don't like to join memes ... the photography is way too dark.

No mystery, no fantaisy, just a boring non-sentimental teen-show with some soft porn elements to make the young one happy.",3
Tuned into a lot of hype about this movie. Proved disappointing. A lot of questions needed to be answered. I also don't feel like I need to read the book to get the answers. The movie should take some responsibility in answering them.,2
Great show with a good storyline. The story keeps you looking forward for more. What really stands out is the performance of the entire cast. Especially Winona Ryder... She is absolutely awesome. Next thing would be the background score... It really gives you that eerie feeling. I honestly never expected a fantasy thriller to be this good. Looking forward for more.,9
"This series really was missing something. The first five episodes are very slow paced, but then the series speeds up in the finale. Watch it if you are an MCU fan, but stay away if not.",5
The Godfather Part 2 is the greatest sequel ever made and to think at first Francis Ford Coppola was afraid of doing a sequel because he thought it wouldn't be as good as the first part. I love the way he came up with the idea of mixing two stories together Vito's and Michael's .Robert DeNiro was a perfect choice as the young Vito Corleone and it was interesting to see how Vito became the Don and how he came in contact with Clemenza and Tessie.so if you want to see the best movie sequel ever made look no further then The Godfather Part 2 it's an offer you can't refuse the only think I don't think was fair was Al Pacino not winning an Oscar as Michael Corleone but besides that I think this movie is a masterpiece well deserving of the academy awards it won.,10
You can't find a better Spider-Man movie than this. It keeps you hooked on in every scene. Everything is so great in this movie.,10
"3.5 hours movie by Martin Scorsese for Netflix.
Basically, it's ""Goodfellas"" minus the energy and the violence.
Way too long. Should have been 105-120 min.
Flashback within a flashback within a flashback. DiCaprio almost came to start edit some dreams.
The makeup is fantastic. Both the digital de-aging and the real makeup.
Joe Pesci is fantastic.
Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino are good. This is probably DeNiro's best role in the last 20 years. Hey, he actually tries to act!
Harvey Keitel's role was too small
5/10 ok-ish",5
"Visually pretty. Story is discombobulated, and most of the characters are pathetic.",2
"Excellent movie. On the stylistics very much reminds the Pulp fiction and in general Tarantino's style. Action is developed slowly, the movie and characters deride all situation which happens to them. Dialogues are very abrupt, especially constant repetition ""Yes?"". I have decided to watch the movie, before the series of the same name, I have never regretted.",8
"Only Murders in the building follows a trio of tenants as they try to solve a murder that took place in their building.

I was not at all expecting to like this first season as much as I did. The show was something I looked at but was never really interested in, I saw it as more of a parody of sorts so it didn't appeal to me. That being said when I saw a critic I deeply respect praise the second season I figured I should give it a go.

What I like most about the first season is the mix of genres. This is through and through a dramedy, but it takes that genre and blends it with a murder mystery so not only does it take you on a roller coaster of emotions it continuously keeps you guessing at who killed Tim Kono.

The core trio of Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez have some of the best on screen group chemistry I've seen in a modern day show. Each one of them plays off of the other extremely well and it's a lot of fun to watch.

In terms of gripes I don't really have many, the only thing that slightly annoyed me was that their were certain subplots, that I feel could've been explored more so that when they came to and end it would've felt more earned.

Overall ""Only Murders in the Building"" season 1 is fantastic. With a stacked cast and a extremely talented group of writers this show is far better than I expected.

9/10 A.

After another murder occurs in the building our core trio are under the spotlight as the prime suspects

This season is just as good as the first and honestly I feel the exact same way as I did the for the first season, so I'll keep this short.

The core trio of Selena Gomez, Martin Short, and Steve Martin are what make this show their chemistry is off the charts and it's awesome to watch.

The story unfolds in a very well structured manner. The twists and turns keep you on the edge of your seat while the character development is strong throughout.

This show does have a theme of underdeveloped subplots which isn't a big deal because they are subplots but something to mention.

Overall season to is just as good as season 1. It's filled with great chemistry and quality writing.

9/10 A.",9
Supeeeeeeer boring! OMG!!!!! The story didn't make any sense! The quality of everything in this movie was low!,1
"Its been run into the ground no one is going to see these movies besides the ""woke cult"" of self hating white people. No one cares you're all wasting your time and money be creative and make movies no one has seen before. I hope all the hollywood hacks fall into the ocean and never return.",1
"This movie was surprisingly boring for the first two hours. Too much talking, tears and drama. The boredom of the drama and the action starts exactly after two hours. I started enjoying this movie only at that point. During the two hours of drama I was constantly thinking whether I should leave, but 12 Euros that I paid made me wait. Being fun of the genre, for me this was not impressible at all. Waste of money and time.",4
"I was so passionate about this anime when this rolled out, enjoyed couple of episodes but lost interest as their no proper story and character development. They rushed this series so hard that you barely enjoys action fight scenes.",1
"Did they get a couple schools' worth of schoolkids to vote Ten Stars for yet another rather pathetic Spider-Man movie? I guess comic book movie fans don't really know what a real quality movie is. It has all the panache of a made-for-TV movie. The writing is silly, the action boring, and the acting hackneyed. And this kid who plays Peter Parker. Really? No one has managed to come close to Tobey McGuire's Spider-Man. Of course McGuire is a fine actor with great range. Garfield took over the role and made it boring. And this kid just doesn't have an ounce of the gravitas needed to fill the role. Even though McGuire is of limited stature, he stood tall in the role. This kid is just a young squirt who isn't even a convincing high school student. Bleh.",2
"This is the worst thing I've seen on TV in a long time. The pace is way too slow. It's so slow that it's easy to lose interest quickly. I'm forcing myself to watch the first season to give it a chance, but it gets worse with every show. For superheroes, they are the biggest whiners and jackasses ever.",2
"A new perspective in the Japanese Anime. No mainstream characters, not a cliché story or plot, it has a great potential in becoming even better, personally I didn't read the manga(the comic) and in my opinion this anime show is really watchable and I recommend it to everyone no parental advisory, call them even and watch it together.

Saitama is very interesting character you'll never know what he is going to do next or when is he going to punch the opposer.

Don't hesitate and start watch this great show you won't be disappointed, and you'll thank anyone and everyone who made you watch it.",9
"Leo and Tobey are the only reason this movie got two stars. Everyone else is bland and over the top. The cinematography is your standard Hollywood so anyone who says it's visually appealing clearly hasn't seen an actual movie with good visuals. Literally only Leo and Tobey are good actors, majority of the people in it are barely scrapping by as actors or they are type cast. For a lack of a better word, it's sucky wucky. I'd rather go back to High School and read it than watch that dumpster fire again.",2
"8.8/10

What a brilliant portrayal of such a simple story with one of the simplest plots ever. Drugs mafia, a criminal, an honest policeman and edge of a seat thriller with good fight scenes with all respect to physics. It was a semi masala movie with no songs and fancy. Direction was brilliant, screenplay super awesome as a simple story got 2 hours 14 mins with mindblowing heartwarming and heartbreaking moments. Yes there were flaws but can be avoidable as it is a semi masala in which the hero doesnt die and villains die even with simple blows. Brilliant acting from the lead. It was pictured in dark. It was so dark that I had to put brightness and contrast to highest. It was -0.2 for me. Otherwise it could easily touch 9.",9
"I love everything about Indian movies. Even if they sometimes come as unrealistic, but this movie is something different. I've had the misfortune of watching many movies that were either too unrealistic or too westernised which made them lose that special magical Indian touch.

This movie had that touch. Kareena proved that she can indeed act without over-acting and the chemistry between her and Shaheed was incredible. Shaheed also proved that he can be taken as a serious actor.

I loved the songs and the simplicity of the sets. there were no over-budgeted scenes of Indians living abroad. This movie was all in all Indian in its essence and that's what made it a big hit.",8
"After Jason Bateman stopped directing it went down a bit. But after the 4th and 5th episode, I completely lost interest. A lot of show about nothing. Hey, didn't Seinfeld try this?",3
"To start of, I like this show format: 24 hours equals 24 episodes. Quite unreal that all of these things would happen with one man. Like: Bauer being on the edge of the death still manages to survive.Haha He is like superman only with more lives. This show has so many twists and turns that people with slower mind lost their interest after first episodes, excluded me :D. But when you see season after season same thing (read twists&turns) it gets boring. Example: 1)It always has to do with nuclear device etc (wäh enough); 2)There is always moles, who get caught he-he; 3)Always in the middle of the season, when they capture all the bad guys and disarm bombs, it comes out that even more bad guys are involved and more nukes prepared to launch to hit America; 4)Bauer is bad and good guy. OK, I could write more and more those coincidences from the seasons, but it would get boring, although, those elements are needed to keep up this show, they should change their pace. I liked , for instance, this pre-episode when Bauer was held prison in China, They could 've used more happenings in China or made whole season in China. That would've been refreshing. Back to 7th season. At least this CTU (having nothing against it) wasn't there; it was replaced with FBI (wuhu, another corrupted government institution). I am just hoping to see some new stuff in 8th season.

Anyway, this show is 10/10 because first seasons and even latter seasons are in some way catchy and ""educating"" xD.",10
"This show remarkably reminds on Misfits (at least from S1 to S3). But Misfits is incomparably better...and it was almost 10 years ago. This show needs better dynamics, better character development, everything is slow and without much logic. Sometimes the series was made not strictly because of the quick money grab, but also because of the quality. Today, it's rare...very rare. Watch this if you do not have anything else to do.",3
"1917 accomplished something great. To film a movie in one whole take is very hard, especially a movie like this. So to be able to present the film as if it was one take was great. It made the film very immersive and you went through the film with the characters. The movie was just way too slow in my opinion. Most of the movie is just the 2 main guys walking through different obstacles. The best thing about the movie was the whole one shot aspect. End battle was quite intense though, and the end of the movie was very emotional. There was also good acting on display and a good plot. Movie was just very slow.",7
"If you are interested in paying 10 bucks for a 3 hour documentary history lesson on a 1960 serial killer case which has no convicted suspect till the very end of the movie, go see this movie.

But I have to say, between the Zodiac movie and calculus class, I'd rather choose Calculus. They're both equally boring, but at least I'm learning something in Calculus.

My friends and I were ready to hang ourselves and make someone send our bodies to the director with a posted note stating: you bored us to death.

4/10 is generous",4
"I went with my family and when movie started I was thinking if I did a wrong choice by selecting this one and not golmaal again but in few minutes my doubts were vanished.

This movie made me cry, I am a strong guy don't cry easily and not only me people around me were weaping, it made me laugh, it made people clap it made people anxious angry everything. A complete plot with all energies.

In terms of acting, Zaira waseem did great job but it would be unjustice to exclude Meher Vij who did tremendous job. Zaira's father in the movie was marvelous as well. Amir khan had limited role but whenever he came to screen he stole the show.

Music was great. There were couple of songs i didn't like in start but after movie I am loving them because I understand situation and context of them.

One woman said, cant make better movie than this one and it is so true. I don't think any flaw I noticed in the movie.",10
"After watching Knives Out my expectations for this film we're pretty high.

After a shaky start plus a few cheesy gimmicks, I found myself getting into the story. Then, my suspension of disbelief was completely ruined by the 3rd act. I feel there is a fine line with these type of Murder Mystery dramas. You don't want to be Sherlock Holmes serious but then again you don't want to fall into Adam Sandler territory. And for me Rhian Johnson doesn't seem to know which direction he's going. The ending was just really disappointing, plus the CGI car at the end looked like it came out of a 90s video game.

If Netflix really paid $469 million for two sequels to Knives Out then I feel they were cheated. I guess it's today's market but this is something that's trying to punch above its weight with a cliched script and wafer thin characters. Not nearly as clever as it thinks it is. But the location is gorgeous. 6/10.",6
"The Barbie movie is a such a sweet, fun movie. And absolutely hilarious. The whole theater was laughing. We laughed. We cried and we all danced. But we were lucky to have the best crowd at our showing which made the experience that much more enjoyable! So I highly recommend that you go to a good area to watch it. The people around can either make or break the sweet experience. It has been a long time since I've watched a movie that was actually clean and fun. The story is so entertaining. And the ending was absolutely amazing. The writers did an amazing job and the cast was absolute perfect in every way! God watch it. But get in your Barbie glam first!",10
The movie is extremely boring and much darker than it should be. The story is just plain dumb and cannot be tolerated by normal audience.,1
"There were so many twists and turns in this movie. It was more of a chess match in my head trying to connect the dots than actually sitting back and watching the movie for fun - which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Of course, once I realized it was Stephen King's book that they made this show after, everything became clear.

It was halfway through the show that I began to see some signs of clarity in the metaphors and symbolism being used in this show.

Stephen King man. That's what he does best.

I really enjoyed this entire show. To watch it in unison with my brother was even better.",8
Though it will be more realistic comedy and not that much parody of the nasizm.. Disrespect for all that suffered nasizm horror.. All in all very over-rated..,3
Good special effects needed to put on my close captions to understand the mumbling actors will give it a chance,7
"It says a lot that the most interesting thing about Extraction is its end credits, which clock in at a staggering 14 minutes. Coincidentally, it's also about 14 minutes into the film that you'll start to lose interest.",4
"""Ludo"" is Anurag Basu's dreamy cinematography. It is Pritam's impeccably music. It is Anurag's ability to perfectly shatter our preconceptions at every single turn as we realize that there is nothing such as main character in this movie. All character have been given enough screentime to showcase their talent. We often talk about how good films would be worse-off if some part of it were in any way different. In the case of ""Ludo"" you flat-out can't imagine how it would even exist if these things were changed. When so many hot take thinkpieces try to explain away every ending or take a hammer to delicate illusions, it was a pleasure to try and understand how a movie like this one operates on all fronts to maintain an ongoing sense of mystique. Icing on the cake is the cinematography of the movie, its a young an upcoming talent ""Rajesh Shukla"" who has brought something new, creative, colorful visual delight for the Audience.

Overall this movie has surpassed all the expectation of Audience. Kudos to Ludo's team, keep up the excellent work!!!",10
"I came into this movie ready to be disappointed because I heard all of the spoilers. I ended up being more disappointed than I ever could have expected. The movie is so over saturated that characters become useless to the ""plot"". I say ""plot"" because it's so paper thin that you can barely even call it a plot. Everyone in this movie seems to have been dumbed down to an incredibly low level. I felt my brain actually turning to goo due to the lack of sense in this film. I'm so glad I didn't pay to see this. Thank you local library. I give it a 4/10 only for the nice CGI and maybe 1 or 2 moderately funny jokes.",4
"My vote is 7/10. Why? All the excitement that was around all the previous Harry Potter movies is now gone. I haven't got any tickle when I was walking towards the cinema to see it. Neither, when I left cinema. Well, OK, new movie of Harry Potter may serve the real Harry Potter fans with new movie to see; once, twice and then that's it. Real movie for fans is to see for 45 times! No impression! Moments of movie were exciting, filled with music but as a whole movie I'd say it was boring! Harry Potter wasn't supposed to be boring! All the books are masterpiece written like once in a while! And not to mention differences between book and movie. It's normal to see abnormalities, but so many? Like I was watching whole new story! That's just wrong. If I would not be such a fan of writing J.K.Rowlings I'd rate movie 5/10. It was just made for money! Still hoping for the very good last part of it.",7
Season One was great. Season Two was good. Season three...well I would call it a dumpster fire but that might be interesting to watch. I'm hoping they don't try another season.,2
"Hi I Know a lot of people will bash me no matter what i say but I guess thats just the internet.I finally got to see this movie for the first time recently and thought i'd give my 2 cents.well to say that the movie is epic that would be an understatement.spanning some 25 to 30 years how forrest was ""supposedly""part of these major historical events.now to the meat of the review.I have been waitig to see this in Hd for a while (the reason I held out)and finally was given the oprotunnity.(just thought I'd throw that in)The movie is at times masterfully directed,acted,and wrote giving its spot in the top 250,other times it is not for 1 the ending feels forced as though eric roth could not think of the proper ending and was very frustated and just gave it the""B"" ending.Robert zemmeckis forever gets a pass for Roger Rabbit.but gotta say he way overused the whole ""forest narrates something someone said,then said character says word in said situation""at first you really feel as though your watching a master at work later it feels gimmmicky.Tom Hanks is the only not at total fault he does what he needs to do.Don't know about an Oscar but at least a nod.Now to what I was gonna to say.Im from a very small town smack dab in the center of Alabama Pop 2500 nearest city 15000.This movie is NOTHING Like Alabama its actually almost offensive.we do not talk like that,it does not look like that,it is not that.Thanks p.s actually my favorite of the movie is the editing very seamless and subtle no wonder it got the Oscar",7
"I watched this DVD at my son's recommendation. I had no idea what to expect. As a university professor I was interested in the picture of academia in the 50's. The film then started to lose it's way. It threatened to deteriorate into a Hollywood spy thriller. The brilliant mathematician (John Nash) hired by dumb spooks. Just as my interest waned it turned out that the secret undercover work was actually a paranoid schizophrenic fantasy. Having being confronted by this debilitating mental dysfunction at close hand (my sister) for most of my life, the film became suddenly captivating. Here and there stereotype Hollywoood sentimentality prevents the film from becoming a really great film, but it remained stimulating and moving right through to the end. The next day I checked out the movie content with a genuine biography and interview with John Nash himself. The movie is not entirely accurate - Nash never actually had visual delusions, but he did experience voices. In the movie Nash is stabilizes and continues to take medication. In reality he has not taken medication for the last thirty years.",7
"If this is what to expect from the writers, perhaps it's time to shelve this as well as GOT.

After they all got lazy for the last two seasons of GOT, did they move on to this drivel?!!

None of the characters were likeable enough to draw one in.

One good thing I should mention is the FX. I think the dragons look pretty realistic, for dragons. Lol I was watching the 6th episode, waiting and waiting, for something to happen, just seemed to be at a total standstill. There are a few action sequences here and there, but, they are few and far between.

Is this what premium television has become?

The utter lack of a story that holds one glued to the TV doesn't exist with ""House of the Dragon"", in fact, its the opposite, it drives you away.",5
"This movie should've been 2 hours, tops. The performances were decent. Some scenes were good. None of it was great. I've seen lots of mobster flicks and typically find the format to be very boring, so you really have to love mobster movies to enjoy this one. Also, this is nowhere near his finest work. I don't understand the hype. The one impressive thing about this movie was the digital effects in making the actors appear younger and the makeup to make them look older. Digital effects have come a long way!",4
"At 10yrs old, Jojo is a proud member of the Hitler youth, but is unable to even kill a rabbit (hence the nickname). Surrounded by swastikas & hatred for Jews, what happens when he actually meets one? He compromises by conducting research on Jewry",6
"The Sequel of Iron Man surprised me highly with great performances from Robert Downey Jr, Don Cheadle and Mickey Rourke as the evil Ivan Vanko even though i went to see the movie with kinda low expectations after reading a few reviews. I sure got the wrong picture about Iron Man 2 after those, this was not a disappointing film. In fact Iron Man 2 in my opinion was the best sequel made of a superhero-movie.

This movie had it all!

Great performances, funny jokes, excellent music and Samuel L. Jackson.

What more could you ask for!

8/10",8
"I felt the subject of moonknight would have suited a film as the topics, such as mental health and split personalities was under appreciated without making much sense. I was hoping for something very cerebral like Legion (but better). Legion was very trippy and mind-bending. Ethan Hawke should have been give. More time to develop as Harrow, who could have been frustratingly passive yet completely evil, making him so difficult to confront.

Also, some of the worse effects in ages!!!! That awful CGI suit! Why? Some very basic, practical effects would have worked better. Might have taken a little bit more time, but we'll worth the effort. I enjoyed it, but felt it was a bit hollow, while also not really fitting into what the MCU in a way that meant it mattered. Hope you like it!",5
"I have just read a review from someone called 'Ted', and his review was almost as bad as the film.

If you want to go and watch the Brilliant Denzel Washington, deliver some mediocre lines, from a mediocre story, and a mediocre plot, then this is your movie.

I was NOT thrilled at any point in this movie, the plot and story is a-grade pap, a train, that won't stop. The film makers have crafted a 140 minute film from that, now that is a skill in itself, but not one that I would say deserves anything more than a shake of the hand.

The script is about as engaging as a Japanese anime cartoon (actually IN Japanese), the acting is decent, and the effects are all there, but there is just NO depth at all within the story.

I couldn't even care if the train crashed or not by the end, I just wanted the train to stop, which I knew it would, with Denzel at the end.

And on that note, I don't understand how they got the stars to star in this film, there must have been some decent pay packets and the only thing I can imagine that got this film to the screens was Tony Scott (Ridley's Brother in tow)...

This one, for me is a bit of a howler and 7.1 is very, very, very generous.

Oh by the way, watch out for the overused fast camera dolly shots, which are used in nearly every scene, they are horrid camera shots that are designed to give a sense of movement, but they don't, they just look crap and outdated.

Save your money and get it on DVD, which is where this film would be without the big names, straight to DVD.",5
"This started off SO good. Jason Bateman is great. It's dark and moody and twisted and I was totally on board. I told the wife and we sat down to watch it together. Next, episode 2, not bad. Then... it just fell apart. It went from thrilling and interesting to boring and just bad. They add characters without any introduction. I honestly don't know who's who at this point. They fail to explain anything, even just a little. Long drawn out scenes that lead to no-where. Severely disappointed. Ben Mendleson (hope I got that right) was great in Bloodline. Not his fault.",3
"Pros
Henry Cavill makes the perfect Geralt.
Some of the best Action sequences on both TV and Movies.
Awesome music that fits into the show perfectly.
Jaskier, Yennefer and Ciri are done superbly.
A decent story.
Cons
Somewhat confusing at the start, only starts to make sense 3-4 episodes in.
Pacing is very all over the place, again you only get used to it after 2-3 episodes.


This show is really for the fans, if you ever were interested in The Witcher, you will absolutely love this. For newcomers, it is still a good show that I will recommend you to watch but it will take about 3-4 episodes for you to get accustomed to everything. Even still you should watch this and give it a chance, it is truly one of the better shows out there currently.",5
"If you deconstruct the movie then most of its pieces are great in their own way (visuals, music score, casting, acting, story, etc), but the problem for me is that the pieces don't fit together and even overload the whole thing in a baroque-esque way. I like it simpler, but I can enjoy more elaborate movies, though, Nolan's MO is just so recognizable that you can't help to identify the issues while you are watching. His opulent screenplays paired with stunning visuals and grandiose music scores push the inconsistent characters in the background and the plot is kept ambiguous enough to never fully commit to one story and Interstellar is no different. Still it also had a few things to it I liked, for instance, the story concept itself or omitting sound effects in space scenes (like it would be in a real vacuum) or touching on a few political topics with current relevance. So all in all, it's worth watching if you have 3 hours to spare.",7
"The lead character wrote a terrible book on purpose and the writer of this movie did as well, unwittingly. A movie about uprooting stereotypes is full of them. Have no idea how it has received so much praise. The pacing was off too. Every scene moved us along so fast. It really kinda fits into the after school special realm. Perhaps it was the directing that didn't work. But the one thing that really stuck out was the language ascribed to poor blacks. ""Heys man you donts gots to be that way"" was what he the author wrote for a black character in his book. That is 1930's talk. And the white dialogue was just as bad in the actual movie. Just bad all around.",2
"Greatest movie ever seen on the big screen!!The performances are nothing short of fantastic .Hrithik Roshan becomes Akbar and not once do you feel you are watching Hrithik on the screen. He is beyond brilliant and carries the film on his broad shoulders throughout. The way he emotes and delivers his lines shows that he is a super performer. This easily has to rank as the best performance of his career.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan matches Hrithik and delivers a wonderful performance as well. she looks ethereal — a compliment she has heard a trillion times before. What's new in that? But watch her emote in this film. Although she does not have as many lines to deliver or have as much screen time, she still makes you sit up and take notice of her through her extremely expressive eyes. She emotes superbly with them and it only enhances her performance. This will go down as one of her career best performances. Also, the Hrithik and Aishwarya chemistry is as flawless as ever. They sizzle every scene they are in together.

My advice to the audience is to not miss Jodhaa Akbar because doing so would be a huge mistake. It is a masterpiece and a definite must see. Don't miss it!",10
The Shawshank Redemption is in my opinion the most Overrated film in history. With the highest IMDb rating ever it confuses me why people like it so much. It's a fine movie but not the Greatest Ever. Morgan freedman's performance is Alright wildly Overrated It's hard to believe this is the best. I've watched this movie 3 times each time I was disappointed with literally Everything. With such an iconic legacy for a movie I don't understand what people love about this Film it's just not Great. The film should be fantastic with a Amazing Cast all around I don't understand how this film truly flops so badly.,4
"This series tells the story that happened in a ""MULTIVERSE"". There are many concepts that which is not going to happen in the real universe.

This Super heros of multiverse also fight to take back the "" SIX INFINITY STONES "" Not from Thanos but from "" ULTRON "" who try to destroy the world by using this stones Overall ""The concept was good."" Great work from 'MARVEL STUD10S'",8
"If you have lived for 1000s of years, would you need to have more than a handful of conversations with a woman to be in love? I'm just not buying it. Combine the unrealistic romance with a cliche jealous ex and you've totally lost me.",5
"Let's put it this way, someone in front of me in the middle of the movie yelled ""I'm out."" The woman next to me laughed during a different part and said to her husband, ""it was your idea to come here."" This movie was so weird and cheesy, I am at a loss as to why it won anything.",4
"I mean, it's worth a watch. It's only slightly above average, despite having a star studded cast.

As with Knives Out, Daniel Craig's fakeass ""southern"" accent (being born & raised in Georgia, USA myself, i can assure you NOBODY actually talks this way) was frustratingly distracting from an otherwise decent movie. It's like somebody told him to watch Gone With the Wind & copy those accents, & instead he watched all the old Foghorn Leghorn cartoons & adopted that. Seriously, it's awful!

I read somewhere that they'd entertained the idea of Benoit having a different accent for each film, with no explanation. That would've been AWESOME!

(Plenty of British actors can do fake American accents too: Henry Cavill; Tom Holland; Millie Bobby Brown; Idris Elba, etc. So there's really no excuse for Daniel Craig to sound so cartoony!)

ANYWAY, in my opinion it's better than the other recent whodunnit flicks I've seen, like See How They Run for example.

I'd have rated Glass Onion one whole star higher if not for that damn accent.",6
"There honestly is not much too say about this film, so I will be brief and to the point. Also, let me preface my opinion about this film with the fact that I am a Christopher Nolan fan, but this was not the film to make. Dunkirk is without a doubt one of the biggest letdowns that I have ever seen. It is absolutely one of the most boring, tedious, slow ""War"" films that I have ever seen. Visually stunning and appealing? Sure, Nolan is known for that. Plot? Bad. Character development? Poor. Action sequences? Non-existent. I rarely leave a theater let down by a film and this one let me down. I'm sorry, but this is not a 8+ or 90% RT worthy by any stretch of the imagination.",2
So episode 1 and 2 were good but episode 3 is something that I would love to see continue. As much as I like the idea that each episode is something new it also kills me that I can't see the story unfold further.,9
Feel good movie I really like the movie well crafted great work team Charlie hats off Kiran raj proud of you I'm also an Kasargodian. Every one should watch and support.,10
At min 5:30 the truck breaks off the green cars mirror and after 20 sec the mirror is there :))),5
"I'll be short. Poor character development. The overall plot is also underdeveloped. Brilliant .actors like Ellen Page and Robert Sheehan no matter how well they play, cannot carry the series through (I loved Robert Sheehan in ""Love/Hate""). You can leave the series on, go get yourself a cup of coffee, clean the house, take out a garbage and come back and you still haven't missed anything. The series was supposed to be the ""Series of Unfortunate Events"" meets the ""League of Extraordinary Gentlemen"", but rather came out as interesting as Golf channel on TV. Did I mention it was boring? Yes, it's boring...",3
"I saw Batman Begins in theaters and I wasn't impressed. In fact, I really didn't like the movie at all. I was in 4th grade so that really doesn't mean much, but if I knew The Dark Knight was a sequel, I probably would not have seen it. Since I loved The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, I decided to watch the original once again, and of course it was in Blu-Ray.

I had a few problems with this movie. There was no real villain. The Scarecrow, Ra's Al Ghul, and the mobster. There is a lot going on and it turns into am mess. The action isn't that great. Yes, the train sequence at the end is really cool and batman's fighting scenes are awesome but this movie just wasn't that good. It was sloppy with all the different villains and it got a bit confusing. Scarecrow has this gas that makes people afraid and they see it when he wears his mask. I don't even know, it makes no sense, and the mob boss just becomes unimportant when in the beginning he was the big deal in Gotham. I would have liked to see Ra's Al Ghul more. We see him train batman to become batman, they have their little standoff, and then he disappears and he is forgotten.

Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, and Michael Craine were also in the movie, but they were not nearly as important as they were in the following movies. Alfred is more of a butler and less of a father figure or a mentor. Gordon is just a cop in this movie and he is even almost irrelevant. He has that one important scene when Bruce is a child but that's really it. Rachel is a different actress from The Dark Knight and she was just awful. Her character really seemed unnecessary in this movie as she didn't really connect with Bruce Wayne. They were childhood friends, best friends, and when Bruce comes back to Gotham after years of being away, she acts like nothing happened. She was bland and emotionless. She doesn't actually become important until the last act of the movie.

This movie wasn't all bad. Christopher Nolan does a great job setting up the character Batman. Bruce Wayne's origin story is really interesting when he is in the well and his fear of bats. Watching him evolve into Batman was something fans can enjoy. I liked how Ra's Al Ghul became Batman's mentor and trained him to be Batman. His involvement and departure from the League of Shadows needed to be portrayed correctly for this movie to work, and Nolan knocked it out of the park. Hans Zimmer does an outstanding job with the score to this movie. Nothing feels more right than Batman standing of a rooftop, cape blowing in the wind, and the epic sound of low brass ringing out. Zimmer really knows how to make music come alive in a movie.

Overall, Batman Begins was a disappointing show. I didn't like it when I was in 4th grade and I still don't like it now at the age of 18. The acting was below average, there was a confusion to who the villain was, the story was sloppy, and characters were irrelevant and boring. There were a few shines of light and that pushed into the next two movies and really exploded. There is a reason why Batman Begins came out in 2005 and The Dark Knight years later. Most people were surprised that The Dark Knight was a sequel so that really doesn't say much for Batman Begins. I give this movie the WillyT A For Effort.",6
"The film is interesting, but that's about it. The first hour was really slow, the whole class thing seemed quite familiar. I'm not sure why people are falling over themselves about this film, maybe since it was Korean yet with an accessible story and familiar film language that it suddenly moved westerners to 'see the light'? Anyway, the second half twists and turns struck me more as a wacky story line I would have seen on a soap opera back in the day like Young and the Restless or Days of our Lives. Overall, I'm more critical of the critics than of the film. I recommend seeing this, it's worth a look but all the Oscars and 'best film of the decade' stuff is incomprehensible.",6
"Not bad i love it. I advice you to watch it.

Peace ❤",8
"While the stunts were impressive, the plot was a very predicticable Misssion Impossible .It was obvious from othe outset who the reaL lane was. It may be time ti retire this franchise if the writers can't come up with something more unpredictable.",4
"This is definitely the most beautiful version of cancer people I've ever seen. But it's a romance movie so I assume that nobody cares ;P This is a bit too slow and I felt sleepy in the middle. "" She didn't want a million admirers, she just wanted one "" I want one too but I just couldn't find him. The boy ,gus, also in the movie Baby Driver, was very cute ;p",6
Dunkirk is being compared to the best war movies ever. It is not in that class it is a solid movie that has very good cinematography. The acting is decent but the story is not that great. Best thing that the film does is make you believe war is hell. The characters will quickly be forgotten.,6
Everything weird and unique from the books has been removed. What is left is a boring and typical superhero show.,4
"Nothing about this movie was creative or fresh, it had repeated tropes and a boring and uninspired near non-existent villain vs hero ending. Not to mention the pacing is incredibly rushed and awkward, this gives the movie a lack of structure and leaves you with a script full of holes.

A large problem is the comedy, most of the jokes are the same and are just seemingly shoved in at random, in addition Tom Hardy's physical comedy acting doesn't work at all in a movie like this, especially whilst acting like a drunk Ben Stiller.

The music was either unpleasant to listen to or just bland stock film music. The dialogue and acting was so cringeworthy at times not to mention the very problematic editing consisting scene after scene.

Would not recommend 3/10",3
"I am in no terms been able to review this movie.

The movie is humungously filled with Patriotism right from the beginning.

The visuals,the BGM, cinematography everything falls in right places making it an Awestruck.

Vicky Kaushal,Paresh Rawal,Yami ,Kirti and Mohit all has done overwhelmingly good.

This is a war movie and not an antiwar and it's bloody hell deserving one.

All stars from my end.This movie is above stars

Salute to Soldiers",10
"I loved this film from the first time I saw it. Raw and awesome humour, not very much sexual content, lovely actors and very satisfying plot with a pleasant finish. I would prefer to watch it on cinema, but since I was too young back then, I had to watch it on television, which is not very bad. One of the best comedies I have ever admired. I wonder why people do not consider this film as the great issue it is, probably they underappreciate it because 2011 did not have many good or popular real acting films (had a few nice cartoons). Only things I would change are a few male nudity scenes which were not expected, as well as some cursing words.

10/10.",10
"This movie looks amazing. Easy Oscar for cinematography. But it was boring and a lot of nonsense from story point.

The things that didnt made sense: 1. Why they send only 2 soldiers if its that important? 2. Why did he want to help the enemy? 3. How the hell did at least 100 soldiers and a caravan get there without any singn? 4. Where did the 100 soldiers go when he were shot at by the sniper? And etc. etc. I wanted to like this movie but i was bored to death.",5
"When the maker of Lagaan and a superstar like Shah Rukh Khan get together in a film, the expectations are obviously soaring high. Thankfully, Swades lives upto the expectations. Though, Swades is distant from the usual Hindi commercial cinema and might not be targeted towards the masses, it has a flair and an artistic touch to it that makes it a movie worth-seeing. The film, about an NRI Mohan Bhargav, who comes to India and discovers the pathetic conditions that prevail in his country, holds the viewer mesmerised till the end. AR Rehman's musical genius is once again epitomised in Swades. The tracks Yun hi chala (by the way, Makrand Deshpande looks cool!), Yeh tara woh tara, and the self-sung title track are melodious and appluadable.

The film actually wins the hearts of the viewers because of the simplistic touch lent to it. There is something really honest about the way India has been portrayed in the film and Gowariker's choice of cast , as in Lagaan, was perfect as ever. Although the film cant be classified as an entertainer it is one of those rare films that comes straight from the director's heart and reaches till the very depth of the viewer's heart.

In terms of acting, Swades marks a new achievement in SRK's career. Shah Rukh Khan sheds his Chopra-Johar image in Swades and sets the right tone for the film. He is unarguably the heart and soul of the film and speaks his dialogues with divine perfection. Gayatri Joshi is awesome as a newcomer. What is even more commendable about this damsel is that she never appears to be over-rawed by facing the greatest star of our times(SRK) and matches SRK's acting with equally good performance.

Swades, though might not be successful at the box-office, certainly hits home the desired message with ease.",9
"How come an action movie be so boring? -stupid logics -bad background music -too many talking when unneeded -too few convo when expected (to the point it can be 10 minutes long without even a word) -im not gonna judge the story, they are free to make any story in a film",1
"The anime overall is super great and very promising in the beginning. The animation and art style is good, the fight scènes are so good. But in the second half of the show, the story gets lost. A lot of new characters are not properly introduced and explained. Everything just happened so fast that I didn't even know who was fighting who and why. The anime will make much more sense if u read the manhwa first.",8
"As other reviewers have pointed out the main plot points and twists make no sense, it's incredibly sentimental, yet I believe the slick editing and first person feel that this film elicits captures people's imagination, thus blinding them to the b-grade story underneath.

I really wanted to like this film but it was so unrealistic as to be an insult to my intelligence.

Are we so fragile that we require Pollyanna endings that have nothing to do with reality?

Drama is meant to reflect real life, not a childish notion of a fairy tale.",5
"I thought that film was better than reality. The Mathematic and romantic history is very good, but althought this, the film doesn't give us anything more. This is the work of director. Rob Howard doesn't a very good director, and that makes differences.",7
"Edited: my first rating was 9. Until I watched season 2 and can't stand clay and hanna's drama. But still enjoyed the shows by skipping every time its hanna and clays convo. They are really annoying. Please stop the series now if that two gonna appear again, sorry guys but seriously they are so annoying",8
"This Show would be great...but there is the Standard Bad character, june Smith, covertly acting cunningly, no one want to this Kind of Plot. Very hard to watch!!",1
"actually first season was fantastic , really enjoyed it.

most character gave everything good in the first season ,each episode was great story.

but in the 2nd season i find till episode 15 is so boring and very slow, so sad for that.

i think 2nd season should take another name instead of agent of shield , may be romance of shield.

series lost the passion in 2nd season . i am so sad .

in the first season within fast series scenes you will notice the relations between actors and will enjoy it , more action with enough Drama , you will find yourself may be watch same episode many times and enjoy . But in a different way 2nd season till now i feel boring if you missed 3 episodes you will not miss anything , too much Drama and its not useful i don't hate Drama but it is not good make the series become boring .",5
"If you're coming into this after playing the Witcher series, you're probably going to really dislike this. As someone who's played all 3 titles and indulged in the lore presented in the game I was quite confused but not only what was happening on the screen but also bedazzled at how everything many of us loved about the game was completely absent from the series. The story is very bland, it deals with some prequel like events that are supposed to teach us about the characters in the game, but the execution, the acting, the story and the setting are poorly executed. The worst part about the series is the progression where a next scene could be a flashback from years ago or a scene from the future and there is absolutely nothing to establish the scene or the characters. I really don't think I'll be watching this past season 1 and even that season was very difficult to finish.

I'd have to give this 4/10 on par with some of the worst game-to-movie remakes.

Very disappointing",4
"I entered the cinema with high expectations, and they were massively outdone. The movie unfolds in a humorous manner, as lovable characters evolve in the most beautiful way they could. Margot Robbie is truly outstanding, and as a spectator I fully lived the experience thanks to her incontestable talent. As the experiences slowly unwrap, the issues and feelings that are contoured cut deeper and deeper, and the audience gets to experience these emotions in a sincere, beautiful way.

The movie is about the simplicity and complexity of life, about humans and their emotions, about what we do and why we do it, and about how they all meet in a fulfilling and imperfectly beautiful point.",10
"First off, animation is incredible and the action is fantastic. The story concepts are put together very well and very interesting to see play out. The voice acting can be great at times, but struggles to fit in at others. This probably comes from using live action actors who probably aren't used to voice acting. This could easily get better over time. The story beats come quickly which makes sense, it's difficult to tell a movie in 30 minutes. The humor often feels forced and out of place, there isn't enough time to let the story breathe between jokes. I think the show has a lot of promise, there is a lot of talent here and any issues can be easily adjusted through time and experience. It's definitely worth watching and a lot of fun.",7
I usually dont comment but what the hell is this It feels like my eyes broke If it would have been my first anime i would have never tried other anime after this. CGI Anime are not the best people like most but it isn't comparable to the today standards.,1
"I decided to wait until this film had been out for a month or two, seeing as the initial reviews were so mixed (verging on poor). Having now watched Venom, I can see how both a critic and your average film fan would feel after seeing this.

On the whole, Venom doesn't offer anything new: cliched jokes, standard fight scenes and the superhero trope of underdog survival everywhere. The most disappointing aspect of the film was, in fact, Tom Hardy; his acting felt forced and unnatural, a far cry from his villainous performance as Bane in the Dark Knight Rises.

Overall, Venom for me doesn't earn itself a sequel or any continuation, a shame considering the strong character background given when exploring Venom itself; however, if you're a fan of the genre and don't mind a classic slash and hack film, then you may enjoy this more than I did.",4
Are you kidinig me?telling the story by Ani? Is Ani equal with Hannah? I even dont want to look at that ugly kid...,7
"Fantastic movie! The writing and storyline is so much deeper than I could have imagined for a Barbie movie. I loved this movie so much that I saw it twice opening week and plan to buy it once it hits streaming. I think women and girls of all ages will love it. I know plenty of guys who like it as well. It's smart, funny, clever, deep, thoughtful, etc. I was actually in tears during the America Ferrera monolog. These actors are all amazing. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gossling were the perfect Barbie and Ken. The music was amazingly hilarious. The Ken battle scene cracked me up so much. Greta Gerwig is a phenomenal. I loved her version of Little Women and this is every bit as good. Barbie is a must see. Don't wait, go see it now!",10
"From the very first scene, this felt more like a Disney Plus special or a video game than an actual movie. They attempted to bring together so many varied threads - WandaVision and What If... and subplots from the original Dr Strange that happened 6 years ago, not to mention references to other MCU properties. Following everything practically requires a glossary. In order to make that work, it feels like half this movie is exposition and the other half is forced action/dialogue with pretty low stakes. Tons of people die, but I rarely cared about them. Tons of things happen, but I rarely cared about that either. They threw so many things together, but it never quite added up.",4
"This movie is really bad. They start out confusing and end even worse. They open up to many stories and never finish. I was expecting this movie to be alright because there are great actors in it. There are so many loose ends in this, You never get to see what happens to the actors at the ends. I was considering getting out of the theater. Picking the Milk Duds out of my teeth was more entertaining than the movie itself. Plus you never know what is going on. This movie had potential until the first scene where Gwynyth is walking around a casino. I really hated this movie. I really hope you go see Lion King and relive your youth.",2
"The main story was about Deathly Hallows, there was a strange story behind it. While traveling, the three brothers come to a river and want to cross it, so they use their expertise in witchcraft and they can do it right and yet they can achieve this. Cloud requested wand to turn into a person, but the death of a vile person was that he tried to kill his brothers who had done what he wanted in any case and his only failure was to kill anyone who had the invisibility cloak. Harry Potter has the Invisibility Cloak, this is one of the Deathly Hallows items, and Voldemort, on the other hand, has the Cloud Wand from the Deathly Hallows. Voldemort was always a very powerful person, but he obeyed him everywhere, and he did the same in Hogwarts, the Ministry and... Voldermort was a smart person and predicted everything, what happened to Harry in the sky when he went to the secret place with Harry's plan, but Voldermort, a smart person who recognized the plan, attacked Harry and his friends. But the strange thing about using a wand in the movie was that everyone can't use another wand for a specific magic because the wand breaks. Granger mistakenly took a hand from Harry's hand and used a spell that breaks Harry Potter's wand and even saw the duel between Harry and Voldemort at the beginning of the movie. Harry Potter had a serious and intelligent personality because he first thought of destroying the lives of the bolts, of which there were only four left, and then he used his own thinking to take the things that Dumbledore had bequeathed to him and destroyed a bolt of life. And Granger had the courage to help Harry Potter destroy the screws because he is of higher intelligence and someone to think about than others. He takes Harry to the place where the Gryffindor sword was hidden and even takes Harry to a place where he sees a tombstone that has a direct connection to the Deathly Hallows. And but Ronald was a character in terms of affection who was completely jealous of Harry and was nervous about Granger who is always with Harry because he likes him.",8
"Can't imagen watching this with out any knowledge of the Witcher. I would probably have stoped at the first episode.

Everything feels extremely rushed, it's like watching a sitcom where every episode is it's own story and not a continuation.

The show has some great moments don't get me wrong in terms of humor (if you know Gerald) but other than that this just feels like it's been made to milk the video game nerds which is working I guess looking at the ridiculous 10/10 scores that they are giving out.

6/10",6
"Though we're still a few weeks into the release, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice seems to be setting itself into the position on ""how to NOT make a superhero crossover film"". While I didn't hate the movie as much as some are really making it out to be (some are even calling for director Zack Snyder to be booted from the upcoming Justice League movie that is still good to go), it was still overstuffed with a ton of stories that either needed to be their own movies or cut entirely. Warner Brothers will need to try and model Disney with what the latter has been doing with Marvel Comics and their heroes.

Not only does Marvel allow their stories to pace themselves over several movies and bring in a more playful tone, but they seem to try and actually bring in modern day issues that have been controversial. Captain America: The Winter Solider managed to mirror the real life events that have surrounded the NSA and their surveillance on the general public. The American people are split over the upcoming election with extreme rights and extreme lefts about to burst into an electoral civil war. The Avengers too burst into their own struggle in Captain America: Civil War.

It seems that the events of The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and The Avengers: Age of Utron have become a bit of a nuisance to the Untied Nations with the amount of damage caused by our heroes. While Captain America (played by Chris Evens) is leading some of the avengers on a mission in Lagos, an accidental explosion strikes a building, hurting many people. This seals the deal for U.S. secretary of state General Ross (played by William Hurts) to set up a UN panel that would oversee the Avengers and decide when to be called upon. This is called the Sokovia Accords.

This puts the entire team in a divide. Tony Stark (played by Robert Downey Jr.) feels that U.N. intervention is necessary as that they need boundaries and that this could prevent further villains from emerging. Steve Rogers sees the Accords as a bureaucratic headache that would keep them from helping everyone. When the Captain rescues Bucky Barnes (played by Sebastian Stan) from UN's arrest for a bombing in Vienna, this creates sides. The Captain gets the Falcon, the Winter Soldier, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, and Ant-Man to join his side while Iron Man gets War Machine, Black Widow, Black Panther, Vision, and Spider-Man to join his side. Both sets of heroes fight while a Sokovian terrorist Helut Zemo (played by Daniel Brühl) plans for a bigger attack.

With all the heroes shown in Captain America: Civil War, there is a lot of hype to deliver. Amazingly, it manages to both satisfy those that wanted to see an all superhero melee and paints a great story about friendships. There was a huge risk trying to put in all of these heroes yet remain a story for Steve Rogers.

The focus is where it needs to be as it shows a guy who's got to figure which friendship is more important; Bucky or Stark. Both newcomers Black Panther and Spider-Man are welcomed warmly into the Marvel Cinematic universe as they get plenty of scenes. The actual battle in the civil war is twenty five minutes of pure joy that show why movies were made; to see moments like that come to life!

Now how is the rest of movie supposed to go on after that scene? It's difficult to say because the third act does falter towards the end. We get one more big fight between Captain America and Iron Man that's great, but does not top the civil war sequence. I'm not sure if the solution is to make the final fight bigger or tone down the middle fight. I think that after such a rush of amazing, it's difficult to even continue.

I'll give this nine battling heroes out of five. Captain America: Civil War makes for a great start to the next phase of Marvel movies. If not uneven, it's at least exciting. I'd hate to be the one that misses this hero epic in theaters, so don't miss out and pick a side.",9
"Everything is over the top in this movie. It can work in a comedy, but here it mostly annoyed me.

They used fancy directing techniques, but feels soulless synthetic.

They hired cheap discounter music producers, trying a Dust Brothers score giving me a serious 'meh' feeling.",3
"I think this is the first time I've watched Kate Winslet in a TV series and she didn't disappoint.

She plays a police detective (Mare Sheehan) in Easttown. Everybody there knows her well and they all know each other.

A girl has gone missing before the show starts. Another girl is found dead. Are they linked? The story is about finding out who did it.

It is a slow burn but it never gets boring. It holds your attention throughout. The backdrop is dark and dreary which sets the tone perfectly.

My only gripe is that the last episode felt dragged out. I'm sure it could've been wrapped up in a satisfactory manner in the previous episode.",8
Grossly over rated. Cool story . But just seemed flat to me.,6
"Like many other reviewers I was excited to see this one because of the word of mouth positive reviews. As it turns out without the ""multiverse"" gimmick there's nothing original or compelling about the story. Michelle Yeoh is great but the absurdity of the plot offers no real payoff in the end. What's more the success of this movie will undoubtedly lead to more use of the lazy multiverse plot device. Why write a coherent story when you can create a world where your characters can just escape the consequences of their actions with no real explanation? While the last hour of the movie is real work to complete there are some nice moments here and there that are pretty typical of any family melodrama. In sum, many will like this film but it will be forgotten with time.",4
"After watching fu**ing extraction, i'll say just ""Waste of time""- First of all The accent of the bengali is totally different here.i'm shocked they cant afford to pay bangladeshi artist . There's nothing about dhaka , the police , drug dealers, people they act like kolkata not dhaka. It should be named extraction from Kolkata . If u r talking about Dhaka then act like Dhaka . Disappointed , very Disappointed. If you want a plot go watch the Shawshank redemption. This is an action movie and for its made of, it's pretty good. So if you want a good action movie this is it.",1

You don't have any idea, do you?",1
"Found this show progressively more boring as the season progressed. Almost didn't bother watching the final episode but persevered and wasn't impressed. The first episode seemed like it could have merit but that feeling quickly disappeared.

The character writing and acting are very poor. Not one of the characters is likable, and their motives seem to change episode to episode in wild swing, with very little development whatsoever. The character arcs that are somewhat fleshed out are dull and derivative. Very little happened in each episode to keep me wanting more.

Any attempts at satire or wit in this programme is lifted wholesale from The Boys with absolutely nothing to add. It also borrows a lot of the novelties, such as the gory violence and gratuitous nudity. (did we really need another ""tiny person and penis scene""? I'd call it a rip off if this wasn't officially part of the franchise.) It's a shame it couldn't borrow any of the dialogue or likable characters.",4
This is is honestly the best one ever. Old school comedy with a drizzle of thrilling experience in it. Selena Gomez's sarcastic role and the 2 comedy legend's old school humor is just perfect. Three of them remain to be the main character there's no overshadowing each other here and I'm loving it. A MUST WATCH.,10
"I would describe this show as a Mystery, Action, Thriller set in the 80's. The Showrunners are definitely fans of 80's Kid Hero and Teen Romance Genres. They hired some of the most famous actors and actress from the 80's like Wynona Ryder, Sean Astin, Mathew Modine and Paul Raiser. Otherwise, there was no reason why the series was set in the 80's. However, the Showrunners failed to recreate the reasons why we love those movie characters. All the characters in this series are cliches and stereotypes. There were many attempts at humor but you can always see them coming a mile away, so they are never funny. There is nothing to like in any of the characters, so I didn't care if they live or die. The only reason to watch the series is waiting for the mystery reveal and the action is top notch. Otherwise, it is boring while waiting for the mystery reveal and actions. If you like a good mystery and good action then you may like it. If you are expecting good story telling and likable characters then you should skip.",5
"Okay, let's leave portrayal of Dhaka City. But, how about some logic ? Great action, indeed. But plot ? Zero.",3
The main problem was the language which was not Bangladeshi bangla. The kolkata bangla language has made the whole screenplay a total waste. The involving of BD Army as villain was also a disgust. However they are are completely failed to portray Dhaka. The expectations were not made from the avenger movie directors.,3
"Decided to watch this Netflix series because it was rated a 9.5 on IMDB. We were puzzled by the first couple of episodes and thought we must be missing something. It was hard to follow at times with scenes and characters popping up that seemed to not tie into preceding events. Yes, it is absolutely wonderful to see something out of India. Yes, Mumbai is that star of the show. Yes, the actors are great. But frankly if this was set in Detroit or LA or the suburbs of Paris I wonder if it would have been so popular because of all its other flaws.

Episode 5 was so violent and with several scenes that just didn't make a lot of sense in terms of advancing the story that we almost gave up. However, with only 3 episodes left, we'll endure it to the end and hope it doesn't get any more difficult to view.

Footnote: as I've been preparing this review, I had an email from the Economist magazine with its own review. One phrase jumps out at me: ""The series strains to meet such heavy expectations"". That about sums it up. Here's a second: ""Viewers are left to scratch their heads."" Well, we certainly did a lot of that. Worth a read if you can find it on the Economist website.

I'm amending my comments after watching the final few episodes. This just got worse and worse and both my wife and I now regret having watched it. I'm even lowering my rating from 6 to 5 as it was worse at the end that the beginning. Bottom line: it would seem if you are India or have a strong connection to India, you might enjoy this (certainly the case based on the names of the reviewers who rate it highly), if you are an international viewer, you are probably going to be disappointed and conclude as many have said that this has been grossly overrated.",4
"Even though it is watchable it feels like a hollow movie. The actors are there but don't seem to care. The director obviously didn't care either. And the script, well, it's a void. A movie should grip at your emotions, how can this happen if we don't care for any character? Who are we rooting for?

Sound harms venom we got it, why repeat it so many times? The audience isn't that dumb. Throughout the movie information repeats itself a few times to make sure the viewer gets it and it isn't subtle at all.

The VFX are better than in the first one. There are some enjoyable moments of course. The cinematography is nice.

Overall, a movie you wouldn't remember in a year.",6
"Greetings again from the darkness. The tar pits of La Brea. Michael Corleone. These are the two things that come to mind as I grasp for descriptive terms to use for writer/director JC Chandor's latest film. Picture a slow simmer never quite reaching the boiling point … that's the designed tone here. It's certainly not the period piece crime thriller that the trailer might have you poised for. In fact, there is more focus on marital communication than the criminal element so prevalent for the times.

In 1981, New York City was in the midst of an era filled with crime, corruption, violence and filth. Enter Abel Morales (Oscar Isaac) as a tough-minded, but idealistic owner of a heating oil business. Abel's vision is to become the top oil distributor, and remain a really good guy in the process. When he tells his less-idealistic competitors to ""have some pride in their work"", it's good advice to an audience incapable of comprehending. Despite regular violence and criminal activity against his drivers and trucks, Abel continues to deny he is at war … he truly believes if he can stay above the fracas, he can overcome the blight of his industry.

We never really see Abel have a good day. Even the high points are paired with hard knocks. A signed contract is followed by bank woes. A kid's birthday party at the new house is interrupted by a search warrant. New market share is offset by a driver illegally defending himself. Each step Abel takes to realize his business vision is a potential land mine set by either his competitors or an ambitious District Attorney (David Oyelowo). And those aren't even his most animated battles. See, Abel has willed himself to extraordinary self-control. He never blows a gasket, even if the moment calls for it. The only exception to this is with his vicious business partner and wife Anna (Jessica Chastain).

Anna grew up the daughter of a gangster … her dad once ran the business that she and Abel now run. Given the times, Anna takes a back seat to Abel and she handles the books, while he is the face of the business with banks, competitors and Teamsters. It's not difficult to imagine a movie focusing on Anna rather than Abel, and a couple of times, she makes it quite clear that she views herself as the real backbone of the business – a much tougher leader than her doe-eyed husband.

Isaac and Chastain are exceptional here, and they both pull off very tough roles. Abel is a philosopher is a world of barbarians. He is the most polite angry person you have likely ever seen. Anna, on the other hand, is the pretty face masking a ruthless gangster. They each believe their own way is the best way. When Abel explains that 'The result is known', and that there is only 'one path that is most right', we immediately know he believes this and lives his life accordingly.

In addition to Isaac, Chastain and Oyelow, other actors deserve recognition for their work here: Albert Brooks is Abel's consigliore, in a style reminiscent of his Drive character; Alessandro Nivola is the most frightening type of gangster – the quiet, powerful kind; Catalina Sandino Moreno (Maria Full of Grace) is outstanding in her only scene; Elyes Gabel captures the frustrated driver looking for hope; Peter Gerety is spot on as the Teamsters lead; and Jerry Adler is a most unusual Jewish business man.

The camera work of cinematographer Bradford Young (Selma) helps make the style and story work. He films two of the most unusual chase scenes – one on foot across the highway, and another with a car and truck on railroad tracks and through a dark tunnel. Both are critical to story and character, and provide a stylistic flourish that pumps things up in a movie otherwise devoid of traditional action.

The story is captivating because of things that are intimated, rather than things that are said. A couple of other films set in this era are Prince of the City and Serpico, and though the tone and look may be familiar, Chandor's approach is unique. It's not difficult to imagine Oscar Isaac took his acting cues from Al Pacino as Michael Corleone, and oddly enough, it's possible to imagine him as Tony Montana in a Scarface remake! At the core of all of these characters … the American Dream.",8
When i was a child i loved Harry Potter i've watched all the movies and when i watched this movie to get a nostalgia trip. But it wasnt good it was very mediocre and boring. Sorry for bad English im Swedish,1

"You can just tell from the second half of this film Rian Johnson is the kind of guy you would HATE anyone uncovering his mistery so he can shove us how ""clever"" he is, and in order to do so while subverting our every expectation of the whodunit genre he bended my suspension of disbelief so hard it broke into little pieces, like my initial enjoyment. The plot is so overly contrived it REEKS of tryhard.

The point of a mystery is to be solved or at least attempted to be solved. It makes the viewer interact all the more with the movie. This is possible when the clues are not too much for it to be too obvious or too scarse to be impossible. Then he goes to foreshadow the guilty person but nope!, guess what, that mystery is already solved within half an hour and, wait a minute, another mystery is rising!, wait, now?, yes, and it's impossible to solve but hey, good detective that seemed useless 90% of the movie turned out to know everything from the start, well how good is that.......

This is anything but a whodunit. I felt cheated. 6/10",6
"When Joel (Jim Carrey) discovers that his ex-girlfriend Clementine (Kate Winslet) has undergone a procedure to erase him from her memory, he decides to have the same treatment to rid himself of all thoughts of her. As he is having his brain tinkered with by some seemingly incompetent techy geeks, Joel realises that he has made a mistake and wants to keep his memories meaning that he must somehow hide inside his head.

I'm pretty sure I enjoyed Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind back when it first hit DVD. Not so, this time around. While I didn't exactly hate the film on my second long-overdue viewing, I now feel that it is vastly overrated: it's reasonably fun for a while, but the scenes that occur inside Joel's mind as he is having his memories erased go on for way too long, comprising the majority of the movie.

Round and round we go, watching the same thing over and over again, with a few cleverly integrated special effects to make us go 'Ooooo'. Carrey and Winslet put in passable central performances, Carrey reining in the gurning as best he can, and Winslet looking and acting suitably quirky, but when all is said and done, there simply isn't enough of a plot to drive a 108-minute movie.

5.5/10, not rounded up to 6 for that terrible scene where Carrey plays his four-year-old self.",5
"Started off great, but quickly followed the fate of the other Marvel series.

Loki started off as a great series. I found the plot very entertaining even though pacing can get a little slow at times. Halfway through, the series started to get more and more entertaining and my curiosity started to kick in. I loved the series.

But at the end, things started to go downhill. Pacing was extremely slow and reminded me of WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (both I dislike because of their awfully slow pacing). Questions were answered but that's just about it. Nothing really enticing about it.

Originally gave it an 8/10 but dropped it to 7/10.",7
I've watched 20 mins in. I have no idea who anyone is an frankly I don't give a flying fxxx.,2
This series inspired me to do bigger things in my life and i am already doing it thanks tvf for making this wonderful MASTERPIECE.,10
"I could barely get through the first three episodes. The dialogues are cringy, acting is horrible. Even Matthew Goode who I usually like couldn't do much with this script. Cliché after cliché and the romance between the main characters was so forced and developed out of nowhere without any buildup. As if they filmed a poorly written fanfiction. I swear Twilight was better than this.",1
Well stranger things is just super fun sci fi show that you cannot miss. I watched all the 3 seasons in 4 days and I loved it. The casting is perfect storyline is amazing and production value is also top notch. The makers have left no stones unturned. Plus as the show is set in 80s which makes it look really different. So dont miss it,9
"MAIN HOON NA, which marks the directorial debut of accomplished choreographer Farah Khan is a must see feel-good film.

This movie has everything! Although bollywood is not regarded highly in the western world, this movie is set to make a gr8 change to this fact.

MAIN HOON NA is Bollywood hardcore commercial cinema at its best. It has just about everything for everyone -

Songs to soothe your nerves. Emotions aplenty for the tender hearted. College campus romance holding tremendous appeal for the youth.

Desi humour for the Hindustani to break into peals of laughter.

Stunts to thrill those who feel Bollywood is incomplete without them.

And yes, it also has the Indo-Pak friendship issue - so topical in today's times

Superb performances by Shahrukh, Amrita and newcomer Zayed.

The film is a wholesome entertainer that has something for everyone. At the box-office, this keenly anticipated fare is sure to set new records in days to come, confirming the super-star status of SRK yet again and heralding the arrival of another talented director - Farah Khan.",10
"Well Not Really! I have always held Anurag Kashyap in very high regard for his visual flair, choice of subject and conceptualization. Somehow between the abstract one could see the man's intelligence, his clarity. His problem, as is with such individuals is 'hubris'. Somewhere he loses it; over indulging where subtle would have been the best. Yet there is something about him, which tells me he'd be remembered for his cinema. I have a habit of watching a movie for the merit of its director, so a Tarantino film always merits a watch, a Nikhil Advani film is always a convenient avoid. This rule though changes with Abhay Deol; he is the only current actor who has an amazing knack of picking up different scripts. Scripts that might not please the pundits, but almost always find a cult following. So I set out to watch Dev D for two reasons, Abhay Deol and Anurag Kashyap, two minutes into the movie I found a third. Ladies and gentleman let's put our hands together for the most killer soundtrack in ages. Amit Trivedi has used exceptional creativity in composing music that merges seamlessly with the narrative. There were times when the characters were quite and one could still decipher what was going in their heads. That's the power of music. Full marks to Anurag Kashyap for cleverly using the 18 tracks very intelligently for character and the story development. Anyway back to the story, Dev D is a modern interpretation of the novel Devdas, but in a lot of ways it is completely its antithesis. In Dev D the characters are not black or white, the situations are not melodramatic and the tragedy is not tear-inducing. Here life's a b@#$h and characters are 'sl$%ts'. You can see Dev making out with a chick before getting worked up on Paro's supposed affair with another man. Here Paro is an all abusing female, not ready to take sh*t from anyone. She is not crying but gyrating on her wedding. Here 'Chanda' can speak English in an accent and can turn on a man with her voice. Here Dev uses sex to get over Paro and most interestingly one never gets to know whether Dev truly loves Paro or was he pushed into depression because he thought someone else would 'do her' and not him. Dev D takes Devdas and turns it head on. Especially interesting is the fact that assuming that Dev and Paro would have wanted to get married, there would have been no family opposition. In fact Dev's father wanted Paro to get married to Dev. Anurag Kashyap cleverly changes the story line to make it a tragedy of the situation rather than the characters. It's here that he develops pathos. When Paro questions Dev's manliness, you cringe, cos you understand how it would hit a man's ego. When Dev enters the brothel you see 'Maar Daala' playing on the television. Dev D is about such in-jokes. Performance wise Abhay Deol has enacted the role quite well, save for certain scenes where he tries too hard. Mahi Gill is exceptional as Paro, while Kalki Koechlin looks very much the character she is portraying. The only portion which disappointed me was the ending, which looked too rushed and too forced. It kind of killed the built-up to the climax. Even though I liked the positive ending, it did not look too convincing. Leave that aside and Dev D rocks. It is an extremely visceral experience, filled with humor and characters true to life. When one of the side-kicks asks Dev 'iski abhi tak nahi li aapne sir', a friend quietly chuckled, probably reminiscing the last time he asked someone a similar question!",8
"Not too bad, and a 6 is maybe a bit harsh. Also, not at all the book. Failed to catch the essence of it, would've been a risk the big fat movie execs weren't willing to take I guess. Highly recommend reading the original and also armada from cline. Even if you've seen the movie!",6
Dull and slow moving-- filming competent--direction OK I suppose actors are usually competent unless misdirected. Cruise comes off as worn out. Needs better writers and tone down the women's lib stuff. Mostly guys (used to) like these movies. Female villains and motor cycle racing sharp shooters? One is plenty not a whole movie filled with it. And get with the times... does anyone under 50 watch these things? Music would help..metallic rock or something.,1

"""Barbie: So Clever and Colourfully Fantastic!"" is a cinematic masterpiece, gracefully dancing between hilarity and heartfelt emotion. This modern gem captivates with fantastic acting and a vibrant kaleidoscope of colors, embracing the theme of being ordinary and finding one's true self in a world that often celebrates the extraordinary. Refreshingly, it focuses on genuine connections, friendships, and personal growth instead of romance, making it enchanting without clichés. The talented cast delivers outstanding performances, while the visuals and captivating dance sequences create moments of pure cinematic magic. ""Barbie"" strikes the perfect balance between humour and gravitas, making it a touching and relatable exploration of self-discovery. A delightful fusion of ""Elf"" and ""Pinocchio,"" it charms audiences worldwide, transcending age and background. For an uplifting and soulful movie experience, ""Barbie"" is the perfect cinematic gem.",10

"Yeah I was highly disappointed in this movie. It didnt deliver on anything I hoped for. I wanted to like it too. I dont even like to talk bad on these movies because we are lucky enough just to get these characters on the big screen, but this was easily my least favorite marvel cinematic universe movie. I hate to say it but my top 5 least favorite comic movies are probably now... 1. Batman and Robin 2. Batman v Superman 3. Justice league 4. Green lantern 5. Avengers endgame 6. (Incase you were wondering) Thor: darkworld",4

"I'm extremely disappointed with Ashutosh Gowariker because Lagaan is one of my most favourite films. Jodhaa Akbar was beyond slow, dull and boring that I felt like that I could complete a world tour and the film would still be left uncompleted. The story is not interesting and wasn't told well because they took 30 minutes to show a scene that could've been made in 10 minutes. So it is difficult to follow the story. I mean you can't follow a turtle for 4 solid hours! Other than that the film is not even visually impressive like Om Shanti Om & Saawariya. The costumes are not even good although it is supposed to be a big costume drama. Personally I don't mind how long a film is, as long if it's watch able e.g. Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna was 3.5 hours and I seen the whole movie in one go and I really liked it. I would not recommend it to anyone but I would advice doctors to use the film for the cure of insomnia since it's so boring.

Asoka was also historical like Jodhaa Akbar but that was good because it had a fast moving story and gets to the point. Overall I think that Jodhaa Akbar is specifically made for old people and youngsters should avoid it. Hrithik Roshan's impressive acting and moustache couldn't save the film.",1
"Truman's show copy with special effects and more modernized. 13000 jobs for copying one of the best American movies. My 2 stars are for the CGI team, you did a great job.",2
"I am steeped in history at the moment. I saw - back-to-back with much trauma to my backside - Elizabeth, the Golden Age and Jodhaa Akbar. I am actually very surprised at the parallels between the two films and also how similar they were in opulence, pacing, historical ""inaccuracies"", level of authenticity of battle scenes etc.

In ElizabethTGH I expected Cate Blanchett, Geoffrey Rush and Clive Owen to wow me completely with their acting. Did not happen - Cate and Geoff were excellent but Clive was like a fish out of water as the romancing Raleigh.

In JA I was expecting zilch from Aishwarya and she was better than that, nothing great, the expected silly walks, the shrill sad cries ""hum Agra nahin jaayenge"", but she did manage to more than fill the spot. I was expecting very little from Hritik after Dhoom 2 but he was way better than my expectations. He actually filled the shoes of Jalaluddin Akbar rather well, and but for the smirky or vacuous moments in the romance, he was quite good. There were several outstanding supporting performances, and some not so good ones. But for a film this size it all worked.

ElizabethTGA was sumptuous and lavish and extremely well done. But they did dress and undress the queen rather a lot for a short 114 minute run time. The setting was quite authentic.

In contrast JA was quite patchy in the settings - the red construction that was Agra was never shown in good focus, and actually looked like it was made of cardboard and paste. In contrast the insides of the Rajputana areas were real and well done. Princess Jodha was dressed and undressed but not that often and in fact was most often shown sleeping with all 10 kilograms of her jewelry on! Both movies had rather uneven pacing with bits that got your blood rushing from thundering dialogs and tense moments, and then there were bits where people sat around and sat around.

The historical inaccuracies were the most interesting - Raleigh rose up quickly in Elizabeth's court but there is no record of him participating in the war with the Spanish armada - in ElizabethTGA he is the prime mover and Drake a subsidiary figure. Similarly in JA - Jodhaa's very presence is in doubt, there is no evidence that Jalal actually loved her or pursued her in any way and he was historically married to others before he took a Rajput princess as wife. Is there any evidence that this alliance changed how he governed? I don;t think so.

That brings me to the battle scenes - in ElizabethTGA these were not well done at all. The water scenes were historically inaccurate, and poorly planned and executed. Elizabeth exhorting her army was actually a bit funny as the ranks seemed made up of only two rows of spears! In JA Ashutosh had manged to gather enough people and the battle formations were breathtaking in aerial view but kind of fell flat in actual battle. Gladiator this wasn't! The final hand to hand combat was well done but I am not sure it is historically backed up.

There were also many interesting parallels to Sivan's Asoka, but I will save that for a later discussion.

The music was beautiful going in but what about on screen? Jashne Bahara was chopped up as was Mann Mohana. In Lamhon ke Daaman mein was quite beautiful, Khwaja mere Khwaja was mesmerizingly well done. Azeemo Shaan Shahenshah was supposed to be profound but it turned into an over choreographed Lagaan type affair.

So in sum - Shekhar Kapur disappointed in ElizabethTGA because he introduces extraneous elements of the queen's attraction to Raleigh into his story and strays from history in the process. Doesn;t help with getting the eyeballs in to the theaters either. Ashutosh touched the heart with Swades and I was expecting so much from him. He does disappoint, but not as much as his film is attractive in a certain way and pitched as a love story, but oh can you imagine the possibilities if he had stuck to history? I will say one thing though - if you plan to watch JA at all, do it on a big screen or do not bother.",6
"With nothing but a common rescue story this film start, also not much of an action there though. In the middle of the plot tyler (chris) when shooting at Bangladesh Army, they are dying like ant.

Chris shooting, ten armies falling. This is like Bollywood type movie.

Environment is not like also dhaka, dhaka is so much different than movie's plot, sure that dhaka has It's density. But not like it

Native casting is so low that, everyone can figure out that this is no Bengali. Background sound is not so perfect..

"Apparently the new Captain America movie is quite popular in China. Foreign Policy magazine posted an entertaining discussion on the political possibilities for this phenomenon (http://atfp.co/1hEA0VQ) but concluded that ""the most popular full-length review is a playful bromantic interpretation of the relationship between two male leads. The appeal of big explosions and eye-catching stars, it seems, transcends borders."" The review is from a website called Douban, which is all in Chinese: http://movie.douban.com/review/6607064/. I decided to use Google.translate to interpret the article with hilarious results, enjoy!

""Captain America: I have a special running skills. I have a special Dang Zidan skills. I have a special aircraft skills. I have a special presentation skills. I have a special faithful dog training techniques…. Winter Solders: I have a special connection shield skills. I have a special skill thrown bangs. (Rejection so most of the time the movie is to make you feel the limits of the human body better you look, there are lovely and charming (and play) of the male role. Love and charming (and play) the role of women. Yet There are cute and charming (and play) villains.

So the three of them playing in the street when it really lovemaking power and beauty of body and soul to each other is what each other's first love who and who can blow since the rhythm ah! But when the lovely and charming beauty of the team in the fight (Sure) in addition to the soldiers under the mask of winter hair spilled slow motion, my mind instantly flashed Duan Yu lowered so who veil this costume martial arts drama plot. My body and mind are in the cry: to marry him! Steve heard that heartbroken people in the sea ""Bucky."" Since then set the tone of this film. Of course, James is a response to ""who the hell is Bucky?""

So when the final end, ran the museum to steal the beauty of their own team uniforms ""I'm not gonna fight you"" of the United State team, shield throw aside any team you play for the United States, saying ""you know me"" beauty team…. Finally have clenched fists are not going to play winter soldiers, tears sparking winter soldiers, the beauty of the sea and jump rescue team throwing winter soldier!! See the United States team in the sea more sink deeper, I instantly brain make up the ocean depths Jack, I just read out the ""you jump I jump"" saw a steel hand Chuojin the lens!!! So this world is so movies, where ""my heart will go on"" play.

Steve dragged the water dripping on the shore, our dear Bucky quietly watching the face, this time a small partner and I firmly hold each other's hands, at the moment our hearts are roaring: now kiss!!! Although Chikuma still not recognize, but through concise credits we already know the cap next operation objectives – Bucky – hair is also very beautiful, oh – Barnes. Life forever, Friends of the higher base price. I wish the small partners viewing pleasure oh

The film has two tear points, second place when the cap after he always played a strong presentation skills that period, I was head of tears. So the world will always need a super hero, pure human kindness and trust, which is going to change out stuff. This is something that will never need to cap the filled his ""The Beatles"" add on ""Star Wars"" in the book ""Thai food"" which is the eternal value of Captain America. So although you old beauty is tall like to engage on this plot, but I just eat this ah!""",10
"Of all the films in 2017, the biggest disappointment to me was Christopher Nolan's over-packaged and over-publicized ""Dunkirk"", a film with aspirations of grandeur that ended up delivering a narrative mishmash that completely lacked emotional involvement.

My guess is that the film, displaying choppy editing and confusing transitions, might have been the compromised result of its filmmakers changing their minds while frantically trying to mold it into something cohesive. Watching it, at times I didn't even know where I was supposed to be, and at one point I turned to a friend who had accompanied me and asked, ""why is it night here?"" without realizing until later we had been seemingly in the hold of a ship. Moreover, it seemed an attempt was made to cover the narrative weakness by having actor Kenneth Branaugh stand around and deliver hackneyed lines (written by director Nolan himself) to take the place of dramatic action, scenes that seemed phoned in from another movie. But a more surprising weakness was the failure of the flying scenes to work up much excitement. Why its aviation scenes were so timidly done and so lacking in intensity, even in 70mm, astounds me still.

Finally, when the end credits came up on ""Dunkirk"", due to its need for more 'fleshing out' and clarity of focus, I felt I had experienced merely the outline of a movie instead of a completed one. And a war film that seemed to fail at the very simple things that even average war films used to achieve with ease.",4
"An anime respecting as possible some of the most intrincated problems of physics. Stain's gate combines one of a kind character's development of a self-claimed mad scientist. Through his eyes we experience possible time-travel consequences. Meanwhile as the story advance, values as love, friendship and the human bonds are reinforced. It's a reflective material, with a little bit of lame comedy, some spicy comments and hard references to Otaku's world. To understand it deeper and better is recommended for the viewer to investigate some concepts about dark holes, dimensions and chords theory.

Just watch it with an open mind and enjoy the trip!!!

"I'll start by saying I don't think this show was bad. But it wasn't quite good either. I have not watched the Original Addams family show so I can not speak for the OG show fandom. But I can tell you as a potterhead they really took way too much out of Harry Potter. School divided into 4 groups, sirens, werewolfs, shapeshifters, the whole scene of the rowing competition, the creepy store that reminded me of Draco's store from the 6th movie, statues moving and the secret passages. I can keep going but really they overdid it with the Harry Potter ""references"". Almost felt like a copycat show.

Second, I would like to point out the characters made no sense and they were insufferable. Wednesday's acting was good but her actions made no sense. The blond girl was pretty much just used as a plot device at the end and her character was killed when she ""wolfed out"" because she pretty much did what everyone expected her to. The villains were very predictable.

Bianca was the only savable character from the bunch as I think they developed her decently.

Also, it wasn't clear to me which demographics this was targeted to. It seemed a teens, children, and adults show all at once. But somehow it wasn't appropriate for any.

I'd say this show is nice to pass the time. Good effects kinda predictable story and good casting but don't expect good characters and story out of this.",6
"A movie with childish acting and writing in many points , involves all the cliches of this kind of movies with nothing new. I was mislead by ratings and reviews in IMDB and watched it. If you want quality in cinema you can find it in some zombie movies like the recent ""The cured"" but there is no quality in this one. I was not really thrilled and got bored after first hour. Watchable with pop corn ,friends and laughs if your expectations are low. Obviously overrated and a B-Movie .",2
"Further to my previous comments, just watched ep 6. Goodness, it just keeps getting worse. GOT was in a different league all together. This is more like a woke, poorly written version. Poor script, bad actors, bad direction, etc. They are trying to be clever with the timeliness but without a solid character buildup or script, it just falls flat.

Season 1 ep 1 of GOT had far more in it compared to all thr 6 episodes of this trash.

Feel sorry for HBO/Sky Atlantic who must have paid through their noses for the rights.

Very poor show

I wouldn't be bothered with it anymore and I suspect a lot many would feel the same.",2

Characters are strong, acting is superb. Scenes are perfectly directed and top of all it gives it's message in a clear manner. Anyone can understand. Clearly suicide is not an option. Hannah baker tried its best to not to commit suicide but things got really bad she couldn't think of anything else. It doesn't mean it romanticize suicide it does show that how far we all go that we make a person so vulnerable that he/she thinks suicide is the only option. It's a lesson for everyone. Must watch series...",8
"In general I like slow-paced films when others do not, but I found this film tedious. I can't quite grasp what it is about it that people could have liked so much. Two sad characters, living lonely moments in Tokyo, build an unlikely relationship. I disliked the script, and some of the scenes were just damned silly! Do we really wish to see a group of half-drunken people singing Karaoke badly? Bill Murray was as dull as I've ever seen a character in a film, why on earth would Scarlet Johansson's character have had any interest in him? He did nothing to interest her, on the contrary, he was just plain boring, as often as not, lost for what to say in the many moments of silence during the film. I simply cannot understand why this film has received such rave reviews.",3
"Devs tries a to pack too much into its repitore. Its Messianic, its revelatory, its surreal, its spiritual but sadly what it also is, is shallow. It never dives deep enough into a well constructed idea or genre, to really amount to anything significant, let alone the lofty pretensions is aspires to.

This weakness starts to show quite openly in latter episodes, when the story starts to quickly unravel. The end result is a throughly unsatisfying conclusion, with plot holes so big, you could park a tank in them.

Its not helped either by what I can only decribe as an androgenous lead character. She's so neutral in every sense, its dehumanising. I found empathising with her almost impossible. Her flat, monotonal delivery did not help either, largely bereft of any genuine emotional range.

Whats left is a somewhat shallow proposition vaguely reminiscent of Swedish Arthouse, there's some Bergman influence certainly but there's also a dash of Arthur C Clarkes ""2001 A Space Oddessy"" on offer too.

On the upside the cinamatics are exceptional and the use of music inventive and lively.

Sadly, for me, what feels like a lack of a coherent story leaves you with a rather uninspiring tale, that tries to be clever but ends up being very average instead.

"Disappointing.

I had great expectations for this one since I've read and heard about the buzz it made, and since Hollywood was interested enough to make a remake (and consequently spoiling it), I assumed this had to be the cream of the crop of Asian and moreover, Korean cinema. I recently watched the masterpiece ""Hongryeon Janghwa"", and I expected this one to be on pair or even better. I was way wrong.

I blame the extreme silliness, the lack of realism and the absurdity that sometimes showed the plot. It made me feel I was being awkwardly manipulated to make me feel touched and moved by this supposed-to-be tear-jerker. As the movie goes on, you have to increase your suspension of disbelief, to the point that you start to loose interest and empathy for the characters. I think a good and intelligently written drama doesn't have to recall on absurdity to effectively move an audience sentimentally. The male protagonist is just way too fag and soon you will be killing him by yourself, and what better describes the female one is ""an alcoholic manipulative crazy bitch"" whose only interesting thing is her physical appeal (and I dare anybody to tell me I'm wrong). The jokes aren't particularly funny, and besides two or three moments of good laughs, the comedy is quite tame.

It has however, some good sides that saves it of being a total waste (or shall I say bore?): it has some good plot devices, good narration, acceptable acting, you get to know a little about Korea, good direction and camera work… and yes, a happy ending. The best thing (I think), is that this is not another Hollywood crap. This can certainly be refreshing to watch. I believe this movie had some potential to truly revolutionize drama since it has some interesting ideas, but the silliness and plot-holes turned the authenticity into crude manipulation. And I don't like to be manipulated that way.

For those who are looking for interesting Korean movies I'd recommend ""Hongryeon Janghwa"". Now this one is a movie that wants to play seriously. And where ""Yeopgijeogin geunyeo"" failed, ""Hongryeon"" prevails.

Cheers.",7
One of the worst movie of Chris Hemsworth... Instead go and watch 'Zero' in repeat mode... Watched extraction otherwise my 400mb data would have been wasted... Funniest part was Chris fighting with Bangladeshi boys under 18 years..some were of age 10 to 15 years,1
"If you have seen the first one then you've mostly seen this one. It's more or less the same with a larger emphasis on being funny and failing pretty miserably at it. These are dark characters, especially carnage, and they NEED a rated R tone. Instead they lean into making it more family friendly oriented so they can get a PG-13 rating and make more money. The design of Carnage was amazing and Woody does a great job as Cassidy but there is very minimal character building with him and especially his pointless girlfriend/wife(?) that serves no real purpose other than being able to Make sounds that bother the symbiotes. This seems like a movie that should have went straight to streaming just like the first venom did.",6
I don't want to say too much because people who haven't watched it yet should read this. The last episode needs its own trigger warning.

"Homi Adajania's 'Cocktail' has a Winning First-Half, but an Average Second. It begins wonderfully & offers some hilarious moments, but in the latter hour, the proceedings not only become serious but also very dry. Nonetheless, a decent effort!

'Cocktail' is about 3 friends, of whom each, falls in love with one another.

'Cocktail' rides on an excellent first-hour, with each sequence working big-time. But as mentioned, the second-hour is average. The proceedings appear dry. Imtiaz Ali & Sajid Ali's Screenplay is good, but could've been tighter in the latter hour. Homi Adajania's Direction is highly efficient. Cinematography, Editing & Production Design, are top-class. Music by Pritam, is terrific.

Performance-Wise: Saif Ali Khan is a fine actor & the actor once again pitches in a sincere, believable performance. Deepika Padukone is fantastic, her performance stands out. Diana Penty does quiet well, although her role lacks meat. Dimple Kapadia & Boman Irani are impeccable. Their sequences are simply hilarious! Randeep Hooda deserved a better deal.",9

"I find it hard to believe just how highly rated this program is. I never watched this program when it was on the air because I didn't think I would care for it much. Well it's the holiday season, there is basically nothing on TV for another week or so, and DirecTV started airing reruns of 24 on their Audience Network; as nothing else was on, and the show was highly rated, I figured I'd give it a try.

The concept of a 1 hour program covering a 1 hour period in a fictional story is at first, an interesting concept, but it grows old and annoying very quickly. Because there were 24 episodes in the first season, one fictional day was covered in one season. The real problem is this isn't a spy thriller or cop show; this is a prime time soap opera with 007 / Star Trek / CSI overtones. Being a soap opera, the plot devices and twists are extreme to the absurd, and very often predictable. The dialog is awful, and the acting is weak because the stories are weak. I'm not even sure why Jack is so enthusiastic to save his wife and child because both are so stupid, their deaths would be a huge benefit to humanity.

On the plus side, if there is one, if you can get past the silliness of the plot, dialog, and characters, I guess it could be mildly entertaining. It's two stars better than most SyFy Original movies, which I can almost never finish. If you are looking to kill time and brain cells, this might be the ticket. Must See TV, it is not.",4

"Fan is a good movie with Shahrukh Khan at his best.Shahrukh managed to play both the characters convincingly.Yet again we see Shahrukh in a negative role.

Script is different from typical Bollywood movie.Screenplay was intriguing and fast.Although there were some faults in the screenplay but they can be ignored.

Shahrukh is a great actor and he should do more movies like this in which he shows his acting skills and not some cheap comedy movies which are just made with the purpose of earning money at the box office.

Movie has no songs.I was expecting 'Jabra Fan' song in it which had already become very popular.

This movie is definitely way better than his previous movies like Dilwale, Happy New Year and Chennai Express.

Director Maneesh Sharma and whole team of Fan should be applauded for this movie.

If you want to see real Shahrukh and a well written script then you cannot miss 'Fan'.

Overall I give it 8/10",8
I have watched all the 2 seasons and waiting for 3rd season. Everything is a real fact except the stone thing. It keeps you entertained anyways and you will fall in love with this anime.,9
"Until the kids reviews on night shows. Too full of them selves they did not reach rock star status yet were treat like they were this might be less than 150 characters so I will go on and on ........exciting for first and 2nd season, then went down hill fast never continued 3rd season or any others.",8
"I've seen plenty of really negative reviews on this series. Who knew there were so many experts in writing and acting out there? I happen to think that the show is pretty great, for a number of reasons.

Firstly, whilst they take the base premise of the Robinson's going off to colonise another world, it's actually pretty great that they're not alone, and so we don't have to rely on a parade of bipedal aliens to be the interaction for the crew. So plus points on an interesting take on the story.

Secondly I think the production values are pretty incredible, and it looks like it all ends up on the screen. Sets and seamless CGI give a believeable environment for the lost planet they find themselves marooned on. There can be no complaints about making the environment for the story solid and believable.

Thirdly, we need to give the characters room to breathe, and if I have a criticism then it's that we don't see them grow that much over the course of the first season. That being said, Parker Posey is chilling as Dr Smith, and plays her as a sociopath to a tee.

I see lots of criticisms of the writing, and I don't buy it. I think what we have is a really good set up, and I hope that Netflix invest in a couple more seasons to see this soar. How many dramas were brilliant in season one compared to later on? Look at Mad Men, and see how the characters develop and grow over the seven series, so let's be supportive, say bravo to Netflix for supporting a project that needs more time to be great. So why 9 stars? I still loved it and think it can be even better but if you cannot support a fledgling show like this then you don't deserve nice things, there I said it!",9
"This show and The Inhumans tv show are the worst Marvel productions by far. Crappy characters(with the exception of Coulson and Mae),costumes,dialogue you name it, it's poor quality all over. I can only attribute it's (declining) popularity to the younger audiences (probably under 10 years old), otherwise I can't explain it. Luckily it seems that it's chances for renewal are slim at best, I truly hope so because this show is crapping all over the Marvel franchise.",3
"Will Robinson breaks out into tears three times in the first episode. He looks like Macauley Culkin. Where Bill Mumy was a Spock-like kid who never flinched, the current version is a regular diva. He even hugs the robot whenever there is danger.

The robot says the classic ""Danger Will Robinson"" a few times, but apparently that is as far as his English goes. Kind of lame. The robot is from an alien space ship that was attacking the Earth's main space station. He may or may not recognize the criminal pretending to be Dr. Smith.

Bill Mumy is Dr. Smith in the first episode, until his jacket and passcode is robbed by June Harris who is pretending to be Dr. Smith. Harris is a criminal grifter and a killer, so naturally the Robinson Family trust her with everything, and give her free use of anything she wants.

The kids are pretty generic and annoying. Where the original series focused on the weekly alien adventures, this version gives you the family drama soap opera, which is insanely boring.

The Mother is played by Molly Parker, and she has zero of the charisma of June Lockhart. Parker is overbearing, bossy, and rude. Nothing like the original Mrs. Robinson. The Father is played by Toby Stephens, and he has even less going for him than Molly Parker. Just think 2nd rate generic thug from any movie by Keanu Reeves, Liam Neesom, Jason Strathorn. I keep expecting him to beat up his wife every time she talks down to him.

The pace is insanely slow thanks to the focus being on family dynamics and drama.",5
It is very underrated web series. Gets Better season by season.,9
"I don't why I always have high expectations with a Tom Cruise movie maybe its Jerry Maguire or Edge of tomorrow.

In short good Action, very okayish storyline, you can almost predict everything in the movie. Recent MI movies are concentrating just on the name ""Impossible"" more these days. The ""Mission"" part is a side-line..dramatic Action sequences..feels a little nostalgic it you are following the series from the start but thats it..MI:Fallout is not a standalone action movie, you can easily enjoy it better sitting in your home on a laptop without any regrets but yeah Tom Cruise rocks !!!",6
"The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is the first Harry Potter movie that is not set in Hogwarts as Harry Potter is on a quest to find and destroy all the Horcruxes. This does not dissipate the excitement and in fact it has improved the story as the main characters are not bound by anything.

As this is a two part movie, the first movie acts as a set up to the final movie due to which the ending seems unresolved which may by disappointing for some. However, most of the movie builds up to a crescendo which will likely be ending with a rousing climax in the second part.

The acting is wonderful as all the lead characters return for this film. Due to the increasing difficulty in making any progress, Ron gets extremely frustrated and even leaves Harry and Hermione only to return later.

Other Technical Aspects of this film is solid as usual. As the director is the same as that for the previous two films, it makes it much easier to work in a world that has already been developed vividly.

After watching this movie, I cannot wait for the second movie. I would suggest to everyone to watch the two parts back to back as it will deliver the greatest amount of satisfaction.",9
Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson together are like ice cream and ketchup together. Just don't.,3
"The cinematography and direction of this movie is excellent and for that reason at least it is worth viewing.

However my understanding of the real events of Dunkirk and the truth about it was that it represented a retreat and a disaster.

Yet the film puts a positive ""spin"" on what really happened.

Furthermore: there are many people in the world who are unaware of the history of the real Dunkirk and for much of this picture the events come across-to me at least- as muddled and confused.

For the above and other reasons the best I can do is 6 and a half which after anxious consideration I round down to:

6/10.",6
"This is a drama film set in the 1840s and 1850s. It's about an African-American man who was born free in New York. He's kidnapped in Washington, D.C. and sold into slavery to work on plantations in Louisiana - until freed twelve years later.

The film is slow, boring and heavy-going. It doesn't give enough background and context for viewers who aren't knowledgeable of mid-19th century America. There's also very little about the protagonist's life before and after the twelve years that are the focus of the film.",2
"Just bored by it really.

The CGI is fantastic, but that's almost expected any more and really nothing original.

I just found the characters drab and uninteresting. Love Harrelson and Hardy.. but they seemed to sleepwalk through this in order to fill in the gaps between CGI scenes.

Harris... well.. she seemed to struggle with the acting here.

Worth a watch if you'd a huge fan.. but otherwise worth skipping.",5
"While I like the original two ""Conjuring"" movies, I have not cared much for the spin-offs in the franchise that I have seen. I decided to see this one in theaters because unlike the other Conjuring spin-offs, it has a genuinely unique premise (the Warrens' artifacts all become possessed by Annabelle.) I was also intrigued of the prospect of the Warrens coming back. While it's not perfect, this is a pretty solid horror film that should please fans of the franchise.

First-time director Gary Dauberman makes a strong debut behind the camera, managing to craft inventive scares that play around with audience expectations. Even though they are a key part of this franchise, I have never been all that crazy about the loud jump-scares in these films, mainly because I view them as a generally lazy and uninspired way to startle viewers in lieu of creating genuine dread and psychological terror. While the film still has some jump-scares that don't really work, the horror in the film does reach more efficacious and creative heights than that. There are also some moments in the film when the viewer thinks a jump-scare might happen, but it actually does not, which helps balance surprise with suspense during the film's duration. Dauberman uses audience perceptions of space, color and light to create some interesting scares with the Warrens' artifacts. The film's lighting is superb, managing to make the film's aesthetic be both clear and ominous at the same time. While the film's sets are somewhat minimalist, that works to the narrative's advantage. This also makes the horror seem more authentic.

The writing is a cut above many of the ""Conjuring"" films, although some minor plot holes and inconceivable decisions by major characters are still present. The film's score is chilling yet powerful. It's great to see the Warrens back as well, even though they are not exactly the primary characters of this movie. Despite some flaws, this is a good and fairly creative addition to the Conjuring universe. 7/10",7
"I was a little shocked to see Selena as a main cast. Didn't expect a huge performance from her and maybe that's why, I like what I got.

Steve and Short are just perfect for the role and they basically carried the whole show and to some extent Selena too.

So, trio is good and then comes the writing part.

Writing was the backbone of the show and how they used meta dialogues are just crazy.

The music is a bonus because if I like the opening theme, there is strong chance that I will like the show too.

The pacing of the show is really good. I didn't get a lowbar in the show.

The mystery are good but not so shocking.

But I like how the keep bringing twist after twist.

Overall, it's a good watch.",9
"After watching the first episode, I was shocked about the negative reviews it received. I'm going to be honest, it wasn't what I expected but that doesn't make it bad. It was very dark, and very shocking; Had me completely on the edge of my seat throughout. You will have to watch it with an open mind as it is somewhat distasteful and well... extremely far-fetched (Which is pretty absurd for a satire, but I digress.) I did thoroughly enjoy it however, it hit all the right notes.

After watching the second episode, I was left in shock about the jarring contrast from the first episode. It's so different than the prior, it's set in an alternate reality and is just.. unusual. Still dark, still intriguing, but didn't quite capture my imagination the way the first one did.

The third and final instalment was probably my favourite of the 3. It was again, completely unrelated from the previous 2, but it had a really interesting concept and narrative, and was executed phenomenally.

All in all, the series as a whole is very interesting, if somewhat inconsistent.",9
"My 12-year-old son is an avid Marvel/comic book adaptation fanatic, whilst his old man is a diehard horror lover; - so watching this ""Venom"" together is probably the closest we come to a father & son bonding session. With nearly two hours of non-stop digital effects, mass destruction, cool transformations and plenty of action, my son had a jolly good time. Me, being an old-fashioned guy and a hater of computerized playgrounds, had quite many eye-rolling moments throughout the film. Still, I found ""Venom"" much more entertaining than the average installment in the ""Avengers"", ""Spiderman"", ""Thor"" or ""Captain America"" franchises, simply because the pivot character is (initially, at least...) a purely evil and undefeatable extraterrestrial force. I tried to look at ""Venom"" as a traditional type of alien invasion Sci-Fi/horror, with the nasty looking symbiote being reminiscent to the creatures in ""Invasion of the Body Snatchers"" or ""The Thing"". Although far superior to human beings, the alien is a parasite and needs a bodily host. The fact that he fires off slick one-liners and develops a conscience is most unfortunate, but commercially inevitable, I guess. Oh well, at least the big, ugly and monstrous creep bites off a couple of heads. I'm always in favor of that.",5
"Behind this mess of a big time producers wet dreams, one clearly feels (and sees sometimes) the potential of this movie lingering.

Seeing my childhood-hero on the big screen seemed to good to be true. Played by Tom Hardy, directed by Ruben Fleischer, made for adult viewers - I was so hyped for this movie. But at the end Mr. Avarad and Sony had the final saying, so off course they had to turn it in to a trainwreck.

Almost every scene is crammed up with forced ""whacky Humor"" and the narrative is as coherent as the one in ""The Amazing Spiderman 2"". Also felt the pacing of this movie like it whas made in the early 90ies. One does have to watch Eddie Brock stumbling around between a boring relationship and genericaly investigative journalism... for at least 40 minutes at the ""Beginning"" of the movie. After that, one is shortly rewarded with a couple of great scenes of interaction between Eddie and Venom... then you have to sit through the rest of the movie.

But at least the movie is PG13,... So a lot of people will see this and that is all what counts in this business today. Congrats Sony!",3
"Stranger Things is a series which in it's last 2 seasons, at least, gets the most interesting characters killed, while other characters that are very bad and boring get to live. I got devastated from watching this thing and I hope that in the next season ( if there will be one ) it will resolve some of it's major problems thay it has. Absolutely disastrous !",1
"So sad, JW1 was a great movie and JW2 still really good. But this one is as good as Robocop 3 when compared to the original Robocop.",2
"This show was incredible. The set designs were fantastic and really drew you into the show. The ships, buggy's, scenery.... all incredible. The cast grew on me after a few episodes and I came to love them. The only downside for me was Dr Smith. For a show that has so many potential problems to deal with, Dr Smith was not needed. I couldn't stand her character, her acting, or her scripts. If she was removed from this it would easily be a 9/10.",8
"A lot of users are trying to review this show in depth and list reasons they hate it. This is not needed it is just a trash show attempting to appeal to teens who will take anything with a little bit of drama. This doesn't deserve people's madness because that just gives what wants attention, attention.

If you want a teen drama that is perfect in every single way and isn't just a quick cash grab then watch any season of Degrassi. Degrassi next class is a great show and even better it's on Netflix. So stop watching this trash and start watching good TV.",1
"I'm not a movie critic but I know a good film when I see one, and this wasn't one. Tarantino narrates through a half hour of the movie. Pitt is likely the most overrated actor in film history, or at least in recent history. The picture is, dare I say, poorly put together, coming off almost like a series of skits that just don't flow together smoothly. And for a guy who's been known to write great dialogue, well that was missing here. Is what I say real? ""Real as a donut."" Now, let's speak on why I didn't give this mess one star. Margot Robbie, DiCaprio, Margaret Qualley, and a couple others were really good, especially Robbie and Qualley. But all in all this movie is an absolute bust. Sorry.",3
"First off I want to state for the record that I fully understand that different people have different taste, and I consider that to be a good and normal thing. That being said, it still confounds me that anyone with eyes and ears that function nominally could give this movie 10 stars. People, 10 stars means it is among the very best movies you have ever seen, and that is something this movie is not. It's also not among the very worst movies I've ever seen, because I have watched many SyFy Channel movies, and those are among the worst movies. Please people, for the love of reasonableness, use the 10 stars and 1 star rating for the best and worst movies ever.

As for The Change-up, based on the actors and the well known story, I was expecting a bit more than I got. It had a few high points, but I think the lows were more disappointing than the highs were satisfying. I wasn't expecting a great movie, but I'd hoped for better than this. The movie is watchable, but there a few parts that had they been edited out, or shot differently, this would have been a more satisfying movie. Worth watching if you have a couple of hours to kill, but set your expectations solidly in the average to below average range before pressing play.",4
"Avatar is, to my mind, the greatest animated series ever made. And I do not say that lightly. I love animation and have seen literally hundreds of series.

There are a number of reasons I say this...

1. The lightness of tone, which actually is a cover for a deep, powerful story of personal discovery and the futility and loss of a planetary war, among other things.

2. The excellent voice work by all concerned.

3. The profound messages gradually parcelled out over the episodes.

4. The excellent handling of the different elemental powers: no type of elemental power is better than any other, it's the skill of the individual that counts.

5. The friendships between the characters...this is just lovely.

6. The development of the story through each episode. There is no real filler here as far as I see it, just a carefully planned story that makes perfect sense, and characters that always stay in character moment to moment.

I am sure there is more to say, but I don't want to give any story away, so I will leave it there.

Similar to Adventure Time, my second favourite animation series ever, the action seems quite childish at times, but if you look below the surface at the themes being addressed, you will find something more adult than 90% of 'adult' series.

Wonderful, just wonderful.",10
Could be called claritine mystery :D passes evening if u got low expectations. Not that funny but entertaining.,6
"Initially I struggled to get use to the new character Ani and wondered why she was acting like everyone's best friend. But it came full circle for me & I believe they still covered some real issues about speaking out and sticking together as friends. As teenagers there's nothing more than having friends to open up too when going through real issues & this show shows how things work out better if you just use each other. Keeping secrets helps no one. Yes the ending wasn't what I expected but I can understand why they did what they did. All in all it was a great watch, they still stayed true to the characters while showing real life serious issues.",7
I think my title explains all. I can't even say this is a movie or not yet. I fast forward the movie after 30 min because I was not able to stand it. Also I seriously doubt netflix has some connections with the black mass cult from their recent movie and tv series.,1
"The series has been gaining my admiration from chapter to chapter, it is one of those movies or series that little by little are growing within you, without a doubt is getting better in each episode my first valoration was a 5/10 but I decided to wait and see more episodes , but finally I give my trust and point.",8
"In this covid19 period, there was a lot of time to watch TV. I very much enjoyed this show. The ideas were cool and refreshing, but the concept was also proven and understandable. I watched all episodes in one week, which is 'enough'. Season 2 was slightly more addictive. Some characters were very very amusing (Klaus and N°5), others were 'OK'. But overall the acting was more than decent. I can't wait for the new season. Hopefully it stays fresh and entertaining, and one more thing: the soundtrack ROCKS Big time 🖖",9
Great visual effects. This film was ok as a one off watch. It wasn't as enjoyable as the first one. It's like they thought throwing Johnny Depp in would be enough to make it a good film. I hope the next one will be better.,5
"There's really no protagonist to identify with. As others have said, just annoying, stressful, and pointlessly unpleasant. I guess it's artistic, but probably of the pretentious sort. A movie that I wish I had watched something else instead.",2
"As a reader of the classic comics, Sherlock Holmes (Benedict) did absolute justice to the the character of Dr Strange. He brought that funny but serious but constructive character perfectly to him. I was not disappointed and is the only reason I gave this movie 4 stars.

The reason I didn't give it more is they absolutely ruined ""The Ancient One"". They made everyone in the movie white. He was a saintly and extremely mystical figure. A Buddhist monk. They put some British chick! What on earth? It explains why they didn't give The Ancient One the screen time he deserves, because it was a totally out of character. Extremely disappointed.

After the absolute disgrace of The Ancient One, they didn't do justice to Dormammu. They made him seem like he took a plea bargain. But Dormammu is such a immense character he's hard to capture. The Ancient One is also pretty immense but much easier to capture as he can be personified by a human. They even had a guy with white beard in the movie (the one with no hand). Shoot, short and fat Miyagi San from the Karate Kid would have personified ""The Ancient One"" better.

Gosh I can't get over at how much Marvel just insulted The Ancient One.",4
"I started watching this anime back in 2013. The soundtrack and visuals were breathtaking, but what got me hooked was its shocking cruelty and fatalism, something hard to find in the shounen (young male) demographic.

The story showed a world full of mysteries, in which friendship and willpower would not be enough for the characters to overcome their difficulties. The fantastic elements allowed epic battle scenes, but there were restrictions to the power scale that gave the feeling about a more thoughtful world-building in which unreasonably powerful characters, quite common in shounen, were not possible.

As the story goes on, many of the mysteries are explained, keeping the viewers hooked, waiting for more to be revealed.

As any other story, it had its ups and downs. However, it started losing its charm after the main breaking point. To make things worse, the studio that adapted the last story arcs didn't do a great job. The animation quality wasn't good, not even for the studio's standards. It lacked details, like textures and a good lighting. The production was rushed.

Nonetheless, that's not the main issue, but the deficient storytelling of the final arcs. The main characters lacked development, contrasting with greatly developed secondary characters. The drastic personality changes experienced by the protagonist were molded according to the events in order to justify them, instead of the other way around. That is, the changes were forced. The author missed his chance to deepen into the psychology of the protagonist.

The story also started falling into the most common shounen clichés, going far enough to break all the rules and logic set during the beginning: plot armours, deus ex machina (more precisely, enemy ex machina), illogically powerful enemies, loose ends and disappointing lore explanations with the addition of an attempt to introduce some symbolism to it. In other words, the author chose to take the easy way out of the labyrinth he built. The final events aren't the issue, but the way they were reached. It was like watching a racing car reach the finishing line completely out of control.

No matter how hard it tried to avoid being the stereotypical shounen happy end, it still failed.",5
"Well acted but mediocre script & a major letdown. The commercials really had me sold. Normally I'm not fooled by commercials, I must admit, this time I was fooled. I won't give the ending away, let's just say you won't be happy & this will be a one & done movie. My advice is to skip it or wait for it on Netflix or Red Box. I knew less than half way through the movie what was coming & whodunit. Unfortunately, this is a movie that Hollywood just couldn't keep their not so subtle liberal, leftist politics out of. This is set up in the very 1st scene where Hugh Jackman is out with his son shooting a poor Bambi like deer & again later when you see all the ""I'm ready for anything"" supplies in Hugh's basement. Hugh's character ends up pulling a totally foolish act that no logical, ""I'm ready for anything"" right winger would ever do. I don't think any liberal capable of thought would have done what Hugh ends up doing either. No, I'm not talking about torturing the young man. The resolution to that even turns out liberal. Torture doesn't ------. You figure it out. Message of this flick is ""sit on your hands & be a helpless glob while the brilliant, benevolent government & their employees will take care of it all for you"". Puck!",4
"This movie is a total waste of time, really thought it was too long, the argument is pretty simple and I think the character development was not even that good to be a 2h long movie, I know they tried to be truthful with the book but what a waste...also not a rip off of A quiet place, that movie was superior, really Bird box is not even saved by a pretty good performance by Sandra Bullock and it doesn't live up to the expectations.",6
"Dave (Jason Bateman) is a corporate lawyer working his way up to partnership and a devoted family man. Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) is a womanising stoner who appears in soft core movies and is distant from his father who is re-marrying.

Both envy each other's lifestyles and after peeing in a fountain they body swap.

Now Mitch inside Dave's body finds that being a corporate lawyer working on a big merger is no fun while also doing chores for the kids and keeping a wife happy after she has had a Thai meal which gives her the runs.

Dave now living Mitch's life finds out that making soft core films is no fun nor is trying to have sex with an extremely pregnant woman.

The film has a lot of gross out humour and nudity. A baby crapping on Bateman's face for example. It mixes the body swap premise popular in the 1980s with the crude humour from The Hangover type of films.

However despite Reynolds and Bateman having a nice chemistry the film is formulaic despite the rudeness and not really funny.",4
I was hoping for action packed r-rated superhero movie not this overdramatic emotional crap,3
"Ludo (2020) : Movie Review -

Since the corona pandemic and lockdown bollywood audience has got literally nothing watchful that can be enjoyed like a real good film and then some films tried to gain benefit through OTT release. But these OTT releases saw huge drop in number of audience and in quality of films. Now it's fair to say that the new joining in the list is this human anthology directed by Anurag Basu called Ludo. When there were no expectations after goofy trailer, Ludo was unexpectedly looking a clever film and was almost certain to end as an Unexpected Diwali Dhamaka and suddenly last 20-25 minutes pulled it down to join the said elite club.

Ludo has multiple stories connected to each other somehow, some way, somewhere and so the plotting settles nicely at the beginning. The introduction scenes of this big cast takes lot of time but not harmful at all due to entertaining and engaging storytelling. Every charcter is established perfectly and almost every character provides some genuine laughters and hilarious scenes. Especially, Rajkummar Rao and Pankaj Tripathi have got some hysterical and interesting dialogues. The rest of the characters are normal yet connectable because of simplicity. Ludo gains more momentum with the narration theory handled by Yamraj and some adult stuff involved in it.

Acting wise as already mentioned Rajkummar Rao and Pankaj Tripathi are the table toppers followed by Aditya Roy Kapoor, Fatima Sana Sheikh and Sanya Malhotra. The supporting cast is okay but most importantly everyone has got enough screentime to make an impact. It's the writing of the characters which doesn't show same cleverness to every character, some are blessed with intelligence while some are cursed and totally destroyed. The destruction of characters feels strong in last 30 minutes when they are seen doing rubbish and insensible things.

Ludo is 150 minutes long film and still has enough grip to hold you on your seat. However, couple of songs are damn boring and useless which fooled the editor's eyes. Dialogues are too funny and has vulgar touch, afterall it's Netflix and without abusive language they are incomplete. No doubts, the dialogues make you laugh, make you think sometimes even though the presentation of that particular scene is rough. Ludo could have been a great anthology if there was no melodrama and dumb romance because in crime dramas you don't want typical emotions to jeopardize entire smart narrative. Anurag Basu first promises you a clever film set in dramatic mess and then himself makes dumb moves to solve the mess. How disappointing it was to see this surprisingly good film going down as expected before those surprises. Overall, Ludo is just another average flick saved by some funny scenes even though at early stage it was way ahead of expectations.

RATING - 5/10*",5
"This movie undoubtedly sucks, but I think it was clearly made for Chinese audiences. There's even a scene where Ryan Reynolds curses an ""Stupid American made"" phone . They seem to love Michael bay for some reason. As others have mentioned it's editing is very confusing, and there isn't much plot to go on.",2
"This new Polar Express remake looks like crap. Really there were some funny and entertaining bits, but the last 45 mins are just boring! And half the time I'm distracted because his cape changes between CG and actual prop within the same scene",6
Story pick up nice in the middle it is bit boring but the end is quite suprising. Action is very good. Billy and franchie role were the best whst i liked.. Must watch for comic book lover.,9
"Gorgeous cinematography, scenography, music and costumes. A wondrous depiction of war, rich of details. It's just beautiful to look at. Technically brilliant. The story though is linear, as linear as it can be and the characters are just...ordinary.",8
"The movie is actually 5.5 for me but... It's certainly watchable, if you don't have a logical brain and not much knowledge of how things work in real life. Sadly the movie makers wanted to create an epic movie with landscape views more than accurate scene of the past. The wood and of course the food is the basis for life. In that light the first humans 20000 years ago depended heavily from these two resources. Humans moved their camps where the living food went and they most likely didn't take 300 mile trips with 10-15 men to get some food for the rest of the year... and 200 miles from nearest forest... highly unlikely. Preferred spots for long stops where with fresh water, forest nearby and animals to hunt. Nowadays findings even in deserts are showing that there was once a forest. And the people didn't look like this back then... like they stepped there from our streets. They were small and the scull had different structure not being anywhere near to a model from Gucci promo. The movie has the main character walking on totally empty land for hundreds of miles, carrying almost nothing, yet he makes fire every night. To add some dramatic look, he is coughing blood - 20000 years ago that would mean death for sure. The CGI is most of the time not seamless and is discernible. Good attempt.",5
"Hmpfh... No nonsense fun for a lazy afternoon. I mean, we've all seen Marvel's best and worst. This is a something in between. Has it's moments, Hardy delivers, so does Venom, he really is one of the most interesting and volatile characters from the Universum. The movie is not absurdly long so there are little regrets if you did not like it. All in all, thumbs up from me.",10
Just finished Season 2 and really enjoyed it. Hope there's a Season 3 in the works.,8
"People who like this movie but hate the Marvel films are lying to themselves. This is an marvel movie, from the humor, to the formula, to the concept, it completely borrows what makes marvel special. Only thing that maybe is better, Is the filmmaking. The fight scenes are well made.

But the plot, and the concept, and the approach of the atmosphere and design. It just wasn't for me. But even the most objective things, like the plot, or the character-development, it contradicts itself.

(Now a little digression)

You don't need to tick boxes for a film to be great, most of the films that are considered as the greatest films ever made do not do this. They have an artistic approach. Film, no matter if the thematic is good or bad, should always connect with people, or inspire people, or bring people to think. There are so many things that gather my interest because of films, so many things I learned about, whether it's political, psychological, or historical, that's what film is all about and that's why I love films.

But this... I don't see what this wants to be. I don't know what the point of everything was, I thought the the mother and daughter conflict will be the heart of the film, and it would've made the film much better, but it's all thrown away for some jokes. No overall motivation for the daughter to be bad, no introduction to the concept of the multiverse, the whole multiverse is basically trapped into an bagel, and the films answer to all is, Nothing matters, Everything Matters. It tries so hard to tell so much but tells so little. Ke Huy Quan is the only one who deserved his Oscar, Michelle Yeoh's performance is in my opinion nothing special at all. What does she do, besides screaming and fighting? Nothing, she can act greatly, but the character isn't various enough to make her shine.

It frustrates me, that this is what critics call the most ambitious-work of the year. No moments that need to sink in, no moments of depth to think about, is our attention span really that short that this, THIS, is all we can settle with? With every minute so much happening, so much fighting, so much craziness, but no emotions, no feelings, nothing to gather from It. Not only from the movie's characters itself, but FROM the movie's Ideas to YOU. Films inspire and give knowledge.

Everything Everywhere all at once, is too much at once, but still says nothing. No depth in it's plot or ideas, just things... happening. For the sake of nothing.",3
"Created by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, Jury Duty summons Ronald Gladden, a real person believing he is reporting for real jury duty, while unknown to him the entire thing is a ruse, fully scripted with actors, filmed as if it was a ""documentary"" and things always getting crazier by the minute. A bit of The Office meets Truman Show meets Punk'd, the creators really took a gamble with this kind of work, and what we end up with is a rather interesting, surreal, and genuinely funny series leaving me wanting more. It does seem much was cut from the series as I'm sure they had so much content filmed, the pacing could be a bit better and the fake ""plot"" of the actual trial better written. As something experimental, I loved it, although as reality television there is a bit of too scripted-ness; I wish they acknowledged the fake-ness of it more with 4th wall breaks, rather than playing it off as a traditional sitcom with talking heads and the like. I did notice many of these additional scenes didn't feature Ronald in the background, I'm guessing there was some level of pickup shots done after the fact to stitch the narrative together, but for me much of this was unnecessary, I would have liked to see the actors panicking in the moment, or almost breaking, rather than hiding it and saving much of the reveal for the end. I won't say any more, because its fun to just see unfold, at only a single season so far, would recommend.",7
"there have been a huge number of comparisons between this film and the matrix, and if this is true, then i'm sorry to say this film won't be winning best picture or best director. true that film is good, and enjoyable, but the film can be disheartening at times, because you as an audience have to work to keep up with the movie. though i understood it, i felt cheated because i ended up explain what had just happened to my mother, who was left dazed and confused about what had just happened.

the film, moved through fantastically, but the start was a bit of a giveaway, that this film will end on an annoying note. though i like what Christopher Nolan did, i was greatly disappointed that he took more time in telling the movie, than he did telling the actuals story, if you get what i mean.

i can certainly see why people are quick to say this will win best picture (because the dark knight didn't) we mustn't think like that, if we are to say every physcological thriller had to win best picture because it's entertaining, then the Oscar has lost it's merit because it's supposed to celebrate films, not a specific person.",7
"I don't understand what people are talking about when they rave about this film. ""It's so creative! What characters! etc"". I love the Coen brothers' films, but I found Fargo to be hopelessly mediocre in comparison to their other films. I found Miller's Crossing and Big Lebowski to be much more creative than Fargo. And yet, those were not critically acclaimed in the eyes of the main stream. I find it strange that something that was probably like shooting fish into a barrel for them was nominated and yet some of their best stuff was overlooked.",5
Sequence was great even thou it's expected but I still felt the thrill going along!!! Nice,7
"""Everything Everywhere All at Once"" starts off on a promising note, offering an intriguing premise that captivates the audience. However, as the film progresses, it transforms into a chaotic whirlwind, attempting to depict ""everything everywhere all at once"" in a manner that mirrors the confusion experienced by the protagonist and her daughter. While the initial setup held promise, the narrative soon loses its grip, leaving viewers struggling to comprehend the multitude of scenarios presented. The narration lacks the necessary clarity, making it challenging to grasp the logic behind various scenes and understand why events unfold as they do.

Despite its narrative shortcomings, the film benefits from convincing and above-par performances from its cast. The actors succeed in bringing authenticity to their roles, elevating the overall viewing experience. The direction also exhibits skill, with the filmmaker's ability to handle the complexity of the story and guide the actors effectively. However, even with these strengths, the story fails to maintain a tight hold on the audience's attention as the film progresses. Repetitiveness and a sense of endlessness start to seep in, detracting from the initial intrigue and preventing a fully satisfying experience.

""Everything Everywhere All at Once"" ventures into the comedy and sci-fi genres, with varying degrees of success. The comedic elements, unfortunately, fall below par, failing to deliver the expected laughs and lacking the impact needed to enhance the storytelling. On the other hand, the film manages to justify its inclusion in the sci-fi genre, exploring parallel universes and delving into thought-provoking concepts. However, the overall premise does not entirely convince, leaving some doubts lingering in the minds of the audience.

The film concludes with an ending that fails to convincingly resolve the chaos within the protagonist's mind or satisfy the audience's desire for closure. The overwhelming abundance of not-so-interesting sci-fi parallel universes contributes to a flat and unsatisfying conclusion. The ambitious nature of the film's concept, while commendable, ultimately becomes its downfall, as it struggles to maintain a cohesive narrative thread.

In conclusion, ""Everything Everywhere All at Once"" sets out on an ambitious and thought-provoking journey. Despite commendable performances and competent direction, the film falters in its execution, succumbing to confusion and a lack of narrative clarity. While the sci-fi elements are justified, the comedy falls short, and the story loses its grip, leaving the audience wanting for a more engaging and satisfying experience. With a promising start but a flat ending overshadowed by the abundance of parallel universes, ""Everything Everywhere All at Once"" receives a four-star rating.",4
"A wonderful movie and a bad copy of a Tarantino's movie. Guess what movies I've seen? Guess what movie has 6.1 and what movie has 7.3 on this site? Please don't look at the rates on this site... they're many times misleading... Marvel superhero movies? All masterpieces! :-)

This movie has a wonderful story and magnificent actors. Christian Bale is the No.1 since many years and Margot Robbie is definitely the new ""Queen of the bees""... Nicole Kidman>Charlize Theron>Margot Robbie. (btw in the ""other"" movie the main actress is Joey King! :-) :-) :-) ) If the Producers would look at the rates of this site we're ruined... a future of silly movies.",9
"(Review updated after Season 3).

Hughie Campbell's life is turned upside down when the love of his life is accidentally killed by a superhero, a member of The Seven, the most elite and adored of superhero teams. The Seven are the rock stars of the age and untouchable but the more Hughie investigates, the more he discovers they're far from perfect. His moral crusade sees him drawn into a band of anti-superhero vigilantes: The Boys.

I'm generally not into superhero movies or series but this is different. Here the superheroes are more the villains than the heroes, making for a very interesting and original take on the genre. Throw in some very intriguing sub-plots involving the superheroes' private lives, the politics of their jobs and machinations within their team plus some profound observations and themes involving the (forced) superficiality of public figures, the intrusiveness and control of the media and the influence of social media status and you have a series that is original, entertaining and a mirror of the times.

Action scenes are well done, with some great CGI and graphic grittiness - this is definitely not Disney! While mostly a drama there's some wonderfully funny moments too. Just about anything involving The Deep was always bound to raise a laugh.

Not perfect though. The central plot - The Boys vs the superheroes - often appears clumsy and seems to go around in circles. It starts well enough but after a point, towards the end of Season 1, it just seems to get bogged down in endless escapades that have no point and occur based on the flimsiest of excuses. Plus these escapades often got resolved in silly, plot hole-riddled ways.

The writers would have done better to initially concentrate on the internal machinations within The Seven with the superheroes vs The Boys plot starting as a sideshow and then amping it up as the series went on.

Things do come together quite well in Season 3 though as the plot finds its focus. Season 3 is action-packed and intriguing with some great internal machinations within the superhero camp and a very interesting new character. It was heading for a fantastic showdown but the writers fluffed this somewhat in an effort to prolong the series. The final episode of S3 is a bit confusing and disappointing.

All in all, it's highly entertaining viewing.

Season ratings: S1&2 8/10, S3 9/10.",8
"I really enjoyed S1 and it gave a good introduction to the world of The Witcher.

Watching the first ep of S2 I was so hyped. I was like ""man what a start!"" These are the kinds of changes from the book that I'm okay with.

Because how interesting and invested I was in the Ciri & Geralt story. Then everytime when they would cut to Yennefer and the rest, I just rolled my eyes. And simply did not care. Not even the dialogue and the performences from some supporting characters are good enough to make me care about their problems.

Here's an example. In Game Of Thrones, they would cut to The Starks, Lannisters, Kings Landing, The North, Daenarys.. But the difference here is that I cared about all of it.

They've already done some changes from the books. If they would decide to spend S3 on Ciri & Geralt. Then sign me up for another season. But after this season I gotta give up. I'll watch ""Best Geralt & Ciri moments from S3"" when it comes in the future on youtube. Because that's going to give me what I want.",4
"Let me first start off by saying that I did not want to watch this movie. I saw the trailer, and it wasn't my thing, but I was outvoted so my family and I ended up watching it anyways. It was recommended to us from a friend who said that she and her daughter had watched it twice already. I don't know if we saw different movies, but I will definitely not be watching this again.

The acting wasn't bad. And the plot was definitely original, but poorly executed. I found myself completely lost within 10 minutes of starting it, and that never changed. They try to do so much without explaining any of it. I can see the idea, but I just did not understand this movie at all. It was all over the place, and I just kept checking the time to see how much was left, and that's not a sign of a good movie.

I tried to like it, to see what everyone else in the reviews was seeing, but I was so bored watching it and wanted to be doing anything else. The only reason we watched the whole thing through was because we spent money on it. So if you were considering renting this film but wanted to see the reviews first, if I were you, I wouldn't spend my time or my money on this film. Wish I had read the reviews before I rented it.",2
Unreal fantastic story. Is it a propaganda of steroids?,5
Pretty bad retelling of the compulsive gambler story-this one makes the remake of THE GAMBLER with Mark Wahlberg look really good. If you actually liked this turkey you will love the original THE GAMBLER with James Caan (in a great performance) or even CALIFORNIA SPLIT if you can stand Altman's rambling style.,4
Really bad movie. Too much PG-13 nudity. And made way too much money.,4
"It's bad. It's so bad that it will have many fans thinking that maybe it's time to give the MCU a break. The first 7 episodes are absolutely unwatchable and meaningless with the stupid retro shows (all filler for lack of actual storyline). Save your time and slip to episode 8. Even then it's garbage, unless you're into witches rather than superheroes.",1
This movie would have gotten a lower rating had it not been for the last 15 minutes. Watching Tom Hardy as Venom is entertaining but it felt like a drag.,4
"Season 1 was a decent adaptation of the books with some cool action scences and reasonable character building. I really enjoyed it and was hopeful for S2.

Unfortunately Season 2 is an absolute sham. The writers have strayed far from the source material and made up various sub-plots that are conviluted and ruin the nature of the characters. It feels like some sort of bad fan fiction. Despite this I quite liked the step up in visuals and thought the actors did the best they could given the terrible script.

Edit: I've just finished watching Season 3 and the story follows the source material much more closely which I like. There are some really cool moments from the books depicted on screen. Despite this, the script is still cringy and a lot the character building suffers as a result. Slightly better than Season 2, but not by much.",4
"I knew a lady who was at Auschwitz. She and her mother faced Dr. Mengele, she went to the right, her mother to the left. This film trivializes the deaths of the six million Jews who were killed by Hitler and the 70 plus million who died in World War II. It's not funny at all and has no redeeming values.",1
"This film was an utter snoozefest, I couldn't even finish the last hour on the same day of how bad this thing was. The performances were so bloody exaggerated that ended up giving me anxiety ffs. And the plot, ohhh the frigging plot. The only compliment I could give to this film Is that it is definitely the cure to insomnia.",2
"NOTHING original and vastly overrated, just a collection of scenes and ideas from other movies with nothing to add to the genres, if it was rated accurately it would have a five out of ten",1
"I like the understated, quiet feel of the film and the story line, and thought Sophia Coppola did a good job as director. But for me, the film was seriously flawed on 2 counts. One of these is Bill Murray's lacklustre acting. Some people who liked the film saw a middle-aged has-been actor who has nothing to look forward to except waning years of mundane domesticity, but all I saw was someone who fell asleep in his role, a fact that even the technique of the camera zooming in to show disaffectedness couldn't save. To me, his character just did not come through. By contrast, Scarlett Johansson's subtle, textured performance delivered the goods. From her, you do really get the sense of someone who feels lost in her own life, not just in Tokyo. The other problem with the film is the caricaturisation of the Japanese as little people who spoke funny. There's absolutely nothing intelligent about that.",6
"I've gotta admit to you: I was expecting a lot from this movie since so many people had been saying it was really good. I'll say: it was really boring.

Most of the movie you see Jack drinking and taking drugs and Alice going to the top and being around Jack. His drinking problem is a very important side of the movie, no doubt, but it shouldn't have become central and, sadly, only side of the movie. 'A Star is Dying' would have been a far more realistic name for this story.

Music is fun and cool until around half of the movie; then it becomes boring since you see whole songs being played. So you listen to them and wait for the story to continue in the same fashion as before: Jack drinking and Ally singing. So don't expect anything you've seen in e.g. La La Land.

In conclusion, A Star is Born had a potential to be really touching musical drama with music much better intertwined with the film. Unfortunately, to much drinking ruined it.",5
"While this movie had some very nice action scenes, has a typical blockbuster script, ... the whole movie was wasted due to serious script flow issues, had no cohesion what so ever, .. no to mention the hasty development of some very interesting points of the story. Too bad for Netflix.. this could be a blockbuster, as money spent were good enough for an action film",3
"The opening of the movie with the rather out of tune and loud wedding song gives a rather bad first impression. But as the real story begins one is captivated by the performances by Vidya Balan and Saif AliKhan as they keep it simple and real. The supporting performances are rather shoddy especially those who portray the parents and relatives. Raima sen and snaky dutt are pleasant to watch. The ending is an interesting twist and outlines lolitas love and faith for shekhar although there is unnecessary melodrama in the last scene.

Although I've been unable to have a chance to see the original adaptation by bimal roy, vidhu chopra has definitely retained the classic essence of the film and lacks the overdone and unreal lavishness of snaky leela bhansalis adaptation of 'devdas'.(written by the same author )",6
Could have been up their with his best. He needs a good editor.,6
Below acceptable! No acting no story no meaning! Would prefer to have stopped at movie 2,2
"What on earth happened to this movie series?

Let me guess: we must sell more toys!

First one was a nice movie. 2nd and 3rd a stinking t*rd.

The jokes are not funny. Storyline is cliche as heck and action tries to outdo the first one and failing miserably. Rent or buy the first one. Two and three are trash. I much rather have the kids watch Tennis than this lame movie.",2
"Just finished binging Season 1. Yes, it's a little different than the books but I still enjoyed it immensely. If you like witches, vampires and such, this series is for you. Many thanks to Prime for making Season 1 free for Prime members this month. Hoping they will soon do the same for Season 2.",10
"I took my twin daughters to go see this film at the movie theaters with me this weekend. They are 11 and they seemed to enjoy it. The film is geared much to a older crowd, which helped keep them entertained as well as the adults that were in the theater as well. Margot Robbie was great as Barbie she did very good in that role. I love how the film put a modern twist on how people are these days in society- dealing with social anxiety and other disorders. Yet it tells the story of why Barbie was initially invented to began with and what Barbie and Ken stood for. This is a good film to watch with your teenage daughters.",7
"Director Michel Gondry, whose specialty in music videos is a seamless visual blending of reality and surreality, was the perfect filmmaker for this thoughtful, provoking drama which juggles the past and present. Jim Carrey is excellent as a single man looking for love...and perhaps finding it with eccentric clerk Kate Winslet; unfortunately, a double-header secret from both their pasts may come back to haunt them. Gondry, who also worked on the original story with Pierre Bismuth and screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, is masterful with a flashy scenario (both figuratively and literally), and he works surprisingly well with his eclectic group of actors. However, the characters in Kaufman's script aren't especially likable (particularly Winslet's argumentative love-interest) and the film is acutely chilly, with everybody bundled up and shivering. As the plot thickens, it also becomes convoluted (and, purposely one assumes, splintered). Despite these missteps, Gondry steers viewers nimbly through the mechanisms of the narrative, and there several engaging and arresting sequences. Similar in tone and spirit to ""Being John Malkovich"", which Kaufman also wrote, and blazing with deft, daring originality. **1/2 from ****",6
"Disaster of a movie. Probably the worst Marvel movie ever! Can't believe the average rating here is 7.6!

"Ep 1-3 were great, then we were introduced to Holly Gibney. It was all downhill from there. A modern day Whoopi Goldberg cut in the mold of a classic David Lynch character Gibney races full steam ahead into the momentum of this show, and stops it cold. I checked out half way through Ep 6, I can live without this tripe.",2
"Went to see this in the cinema after the good reviews from IMDb and my friends, some of whom went to see it twice. What a disappointment. It didn't appeal on any level. It was a complete pile of Groot! Humour was limited and shallow, plot gossamer thin and the action was not really worth the effort on the whole. It's not as if I took the film seriously either. I really enjoyed the ludicrous Lucy, despite its numerous flaws. Surely I can't be the only one who didn't like this film? If it had been directed by Uwe Boll it couldn't have been much worse. If I never see it again I will be OK. Glad I didn't waste more time and money watching it in an IMAX. A 12 inch portable black and white would suffice.",2
I expected a lot more from this well-reviewed and Oscar Nominated film. I found it not funny although it was billed as a comedy. The bright spot for me was Jamie Lee Curtis who was perfectly cast in her role. Toni Colette was also good but I found this tedious and boring. Just not for me.,4
"What is modern about a scene where a boy kiss a girl without ask or permission, and eventually she even fall for him?? Or about to let a baby cry alone in the night to ""teach"" her to sleep?? Or about the all over the place statement, that a woman can be either beautiful or smart??",2
"I rather enjoyed this film. The directing was great, cinematography outstanding, and although everyone slammed J-Laws performance, it was great - it was the character she had to play. But the screenplay was what killed this film. The pace was atrociously slow, and should have been edited down from 140 mins to about 100 mins. Too many dragged out scenes that made parts unnecessarily boring. Nevertheless, it was still enjoyable, especially the last 20 mins. It's an 8/10 from me",8
"Beautifully shoot. Good looking clothes. Main character lacks depth, supposed to want to be honest but comes across as uncaring sociopat.

Slow movie.",2
"On season 3 and it's literally one of the most boring TV series I have ever seen in my life. I can't imagine how bad it gets if people say the 1st seasons were ""masterpieces "" I will watch to the end of season 4, but I feel like it would be more entertaining to watch paint dry than to watch this series. It's just sooooooooo boring. Black mirror is not clever at all, it's just an extremely boring time waster. The majority that thinks this is the best show on earth, I wonder what planet they are from... I had high expectations for this series but it has been more boring than watching paint dry, so I had to leave this review. 1/10.",1
"In another effort to provide inclusiveness and tolerance, the Robinson has 3 kids the middle kid is black. So either the mother had 2 children from 2 different fathers before marrying current husband, the mother had an affair while married, or they chose to adopt a poor black child in this family unit. In any case the PC of netflix is apparent. Instead of focusing on a great story, they focus on this. Liberal racism is the only acceptable form of racism. This is where they purposefully exclude white people to include non-white people. When was the last time you say a show full of minorities have a white token child. aka liberal racism.",4
"I had already heard rave reviews on Only Murders on the Building and just by seeing the cast lost I knew it was going to be a good show. I was immersed in the story within the first 10 minutes of the first episode. I was happy to see Selena Gomez getting the recognition she deserves because, honestly, her role in Only Murders in the Building is truly amazing and I loved every bit of her acting. Regarding Martin Short and Steve Martin, I mean, what can I say. The ""OGs"" are back and better than ever. Loved their role and the touch of comedy they brought to the show.

Last but not least, there was something about the production and direction that made me fall even more in love with the show. It is so well directed and produced, from the color scheme, to the choice of venue to the secondary actors, I simply loved it.

I can not wait for the second season to be available. If you are debating whether or not to watch this and you like ""modern crime"", good actors and a touch of fun, you should definitely start watching it as soon as possible. You won't regret it!",10
"Staffel 1 - gut!; Staffel 2 - schlecht; Staffel 3 - vollkommen überflüssiger Mist! Story schlecht, Regie schlecht, Color Grading grauenhaft!",5
"Madds is flawless like hannibal the first and second seasons are GREAT, although the dialogues are boring, the cinematography is BEAUTIFUL, one of the most exquisite I've ever seen however the last season is below average.",8
"Season one was great. Amazing chemistry between Steve Martin and Martin Short. Selena Gomez is good, not great.

Season two is also very good, but Amy Schumer is in several episodes playing herself and, man, she is just difficult to look at. Disgusting outside and in. Sooooo unfunny. A terrible actress to boot. Not sure why they chose her. You can't look at her without puking a bit into your mouth.

I really hope she's in as few episodes of season two as Sting was in season one. Sting is a FAR better actor than Schumer, and though he's not a ""comedian"" like Schumer, he's FAR funnier, and though I'm straight, I find Sting FAR more attractive than Schumer.",7
"I watched this as an anime when I was 12 and it was fine watching this as an adult is completely different. The silliness/ humour can be rage inducing for example Goku giving cell a senzu bean to get to full strength and not his own son. When wanting to save the world and going up against an enemy how do they choose which fighter goes first? Well Rock, Paper Scissors of course.

And when going up again Maaji Buu arrives 2 little kids need to be trained in Piccolo's eyes but the boys mothers want the kids to sleep and eat food. Which Goku does alot of for some reason in the middle of a earth shattering crisis he cans top and scoff his face with 20 plates of food.

Please do not get me started on Satan Hercule I got bored of him within 2 episodes and for some reason they kept him as a regular.

In the cell battle I do get the audience are little 12 year old boys but does the news announcer has to comment on every move made in the fights? I get the audience need to be bottle fed whats happening but not older teens or adults.",6
I was really disappointed by the story and most of all the acting of the main protagonist. I won't say who as to not spoil it. It's become quite obvious to me now that the director is clearly suffering from a prolonged hangover from his miserable failure with the Star Wars franchise. If you're on lockdown I guess it's not the worst thing to watch.,5
"Nothing new in this sequel, a little horror movie, boring in the first hour. Rating 5",5
"What makes this movie movie so amazing is not the fact that it works as a sequel to the greatest movie of all time, The Godfather. But the fact that it can be a movie on its own that is as good as the original, and if not it is better than the godfather.

The sequel opens up with the same charismatic performances as the last one, obviously Al Pacino has solidified himself as one of the best actors ever because of the performance he gave here. Michael Corleone has grown into so much more than just a movie character, he represents a new creation to all fictional characters ever. This movie runs at a break neck speed, it clocks at 3 hours, but feels like an hour movie, just like the first one. That is what makes the godfather moves so great, and Francis Ford Cappola and Mario Puzo geniuses.",10
This is definitely a slap in the face of the English people. I can't believe the English were that big of cowards. Not even setting up any kind of defensive lines just waiting to be either rescued or slaughtered. What a crappy mess of a movie.,1
"What to say, nothing to watch in this movie. Highly disappointed with direction script sorry telling by this movie . Such an amazing subject but poor presentation on screen. If have seriously too much time to waste then only watch otherwise do surfing browing or any other stuff rather than watching this high noise less drama movie.",1
"I don't know how they managed to turn a scary, interesting show into a teen romance comedy. They ruined everything. Just repetitive scary monsters and which one shot kills random people expect the main ones.",1
"Terrible ! Turned it off after giving it 20 minutes, and I know I'm not alone either. Avoid save your eyes the pain",1
"The entire time I felt as if script was torn into small pieces and the director decided to film it while he glued back together all the parts like puzzles.

Going for black and white parts was completely unnecessary and illogical idea. Makeup was at times awful and I could see sound equipment under actors clothes. Sound was bombastic and extremely uncomfortable I thought I'll have a heart attack. Some parts of the story were a drag. And I couldn't wait for the movie to end. But most of all this nonlinear narrative made biggest impression. Nolan tried a bit too much to be Tarantino this time.

Well, biopics are notoriously difficult to pull off, and this time it was a flop. One of the two worst movies I watched this year. The other being The Fabelmans.

The only good side was the cast. Actors really gave their best.

I honestly can't believe this movie is rated better then Barbie which was the biggest surprise - perfect cast, costumes, makeup, script, direction, effects, scenography. Simple story and a message and altogether one of the most innovative Hollywood movies lately.",2
"The direction is not bad, i give it a 9 because the movie has made shahrukh khan do something other than a lover boy role. but still i would have expected his performance to be stronger.

there many issues the movie did not handle, but still for this kind of a movie u cant do justice in 3hrs.

the whole concept of someone going back to his own country for the reasons shown is swades is inspiring and different from what normally people show like, going back for a family or heart throb.

songs are not a high point but they don't spoil the movie which rahman does in many movies.

i would say watch it at least once.",9
"Good, not great. Worth a watch but not enough to see in theaters. Wait to stream this one at home.",6
"Is there even a single reason why you shouldn't find Michael Bay movies horrible? Maybe one: Bay's aesthetics are closer to our ugly reality than we want to admit. This becomes clearer than ever in the Netflix production ""6 Underground"". In the film, Ryan Reynolds plays an arrogant billionaire who not only wants to make humanity happy with charity projects, but also wants to improve the world with private military interventions. In order to act unrecognized, he staged his own death. His six-member team supports this libertarian, completely undemocratic approach to the best of its ability - and of course Bay does not criticize it, but rather reinforces the message by aggressively promoting the products of large corporations. It's not nice, but it's enlightening.",4
"If you like non-stop arguing, screaming, shouting by highly unlikable people, then this movie is for you.",3
So i am excepting more from this show but i am not impressed not a good script confucing episode but good acting sorry not a good deal marvel.,1
"I really like LA which is the stage of this movie, but I'm not satisfied with the way to end the story, actually. However, we can also say that it's a typical love story through musical. To put it simply, it also shows us our real issues of what we have to think about what our important and valuable thing is. I think this is the most difficult issue which everyone faces.

The jazz music in it is especially comfortable to listen to. It makes me play the saxophone or the piano again since I was a junior high school student.

Also, it's private, but I'd been in LA for a year until last summer, and I like Los Angeles very much as I mentioned above. So, I really feel nostalgic Griffith Observatory and even the traffic in this movie. I guess anyone who watches it will want to go to LA. It's a very nice city.",6
"Yes, the cinematography is gorgeous. And yes, the soundtrack's great, if not always appropriate. But sadly many otherwise intelligent people have been fooled by this surface gloss into thinking this is a piece of high cinematic art. It isn't.

What it is is a mean-spirited little film about two spoiled Americans who, given an opportunity many of us would dream of - a week's free stay at a luxury hotel in one of the world's most exciting cities - do nothing but mope around moaning about how bored they are and how they can't sleep, occasionally breaking off to laugh at those crazy Japanese. The old ""flied lice"" jokes may have been funny when Benny Hill was doing them thirty years ago, but surely things have moved on? As well as an unpleasant vein of racism, there is also a seam of snobbery running throughout. Is Charlotte - lying around in her hotel room, living off her more proactive, more talented husband - really any better than B-movie starlet Kelly? The latter may be an airhead, but she has her own career and is enjoying the opportunity life has granted her while it lasts. And is Bob - who has travelled across the globe, missing his son's birthday in the process, just to prostitute his talent by filming a whisky commercial - in any way superior to the Japanese director and TV presenter he sneers at? Coppola clearly thinks so.

Ah yes, Bill Murray. How ironic that an actor whose reputation was founded on the film Groundhog Day should spend the following years endlessly playing the same character with diminishing returns, fooling critics into thinking he's more than a one-trick pony with that hangdog expression. Which brings me to irony no.2. During the video shoot scene, Murray's character pokes fun at Roger Moore, as if to say that Murray himself is the vastly more versatile actor. He isn't.

The film's one saving grace is Johansen who, despite the blankness of her character, lights up the screen every time she appears and has you looking at your watch when she leaves. A stunning performance, wasted on such otherwise vapid material. A film which promises an intellectual fix but ultimately says nothing.",5
"The best actor here is a boston-terrier named Marv. He's also the most interesting character in this cyber world mess, which has absolutely nothing.

Not even interesting 3-D effects. Come on, can't I have at least one spaceship hitting my head? It's not even 3-D all the way around and certainly ""Alice in Wonderland"" was much more astonishing, not to talk about its much more astonishing story.

Jeff Bridges, why did you get into this? You hadn't been excused, even if it was 1982 either. What was so wrong with Keystone cops, using real police cars on dusty Hollywood roads? They anyway had some humour and self irony.",2
"I'm an action movie guy. Primarily, I like it when things blow up. So to begin with, ""Forrest Gump"" was not going to be my kind of movie. But I like an intelligent film that has something to say, and I think I ""get it"" about this film. It's a journey through modern American history, showing a window into mainstream culture from the plight of the main character.

Unfortunately, the film is incredibly sappy. Everybody who can possibly get hurt gets hurt. If it's a sunny day, it will start raining in this film. Then we get to linger on this melancholy in endless melodramatic scenes. Meanwhile Forrest, who is stupid as a stump (unlike brilliant actor Tom Hanks who plays him) is an anti-hero who lets others push him around. There's no deep theme, and the movie is sub-intellectual.

These things built up into what is essentially an amateur script surrounded by a blockbuster hype and star cast. ""Forrest Gump"" is basically a soap opera, and I do mean to conjure images of daytime TV at its worst.

Who should see this film:

-- Soap opera fans

-- Everybody else, run for the hills -- even if you do have

an artistic film school depth

I'll give ""Forrest Gump"" a 2 out of 10, because it at least maintained a consistent tone throughout. If you don't like the first ten minutes, stop watching.",2
"After Watching This Movie,First Words Will Come out from your Mouth will be""Shahrukh me tera jabra Fan Ho Gya"". This Movie Has A Uniuqe Drama with very different story along with fantafabulous acting Of The Shahrukh Khan in His role as Gaurav Specially. The Srk'Acting In The Film is what called the real acting and performance,i was speechless after watching Dedication Of SRK A 50 Year Actor Playing The Role of 21 Year Young Boy With That Level Of Energy. I Do Appreciate Manish Sharma The Director Of The Fan Movie & Excellent Screenplay from begging to end,tempo of the movie is well Maintained.Direction Was Fantastic In First Half,But Story Goes Little Off Plot In 2nd Half. Oscar Winning Wizard Greg Cannom (Hollywood's special makeup effects artist),and the rest of the team gave Their Best. Shahrukh Khan Has Shown Encyclopedia Of Acting,Srk's Acting in this Movie Is Jaw Dropping,It's Just Above The Common Man Imagination. I Watched A Bollywood Movie After Almost 2 Years And it was totally worth it,& I was compelled To come here and give Review Because In Bollywood You Don't't See This Type Of Acting Every Often So Guys Go And Must Watch This Movie.",7
"Hi there, I'm going through the reviews and simply don't understand people giving this show such opposite ratings. In my humble opinion, 10/10 should be reserved for the show without any flaws. Continouing this thought 1/10 should be given for atrocities that have no positives whatsoever. Is The Witcher one of those? Certainly not. The show has it's good and bad sides. Criticizing it is ok, this way the showrunners will know what needs to be improved but giving it low score just for the sake of it is not cool. I was going to write in-depth review but so much has been said up to this point that most of you have the general idea of the show. So lets just point out positives and negatives.

Positives: Casting/acting/character portayal (with some minor exceptions) Cinematography/shooting locations/production value Music Fight scenes Story Monsters CGI (could be better at times but I still consider it as positive) It gets better with each episode Henry dropping F-Bombs

Negatives: Confusing plot ( especially for the people with 0 knowledge about the lore) Geralt could use some more screen time Nilfgardian armor ( but if you did not play the game you probably won't notice) Too much nudity at times

To sum up. Is it a perfect show? No. Is it worth trashing as some people do? No. Should you watch it? Definitely Yes. If you don't like it that's ok, but if you do you'll find world of The Witcher more and more appealing with every episode.",8
"Completely useless movie without any decent plot or idea behind. Scenes are way too long and boring. The actors do nor age, and many other goofs are too obvious when watching. Too much/ too loud music. Is it a musical or what?",2
The greatest show i'v ever seen..and i still waiting for season 4 :( ❤,10
"The Queen's Gambit has left me with a very weird question that I don't know that I can answer quite yet. Is Anya Taylor-Joy a good actor or is does she just posses a captivating appearance? There is something about her that is intriguing in everything she does but I still don't know that I've seen her do anything super impressive as far as acting goes. I think that may be representative of the series as a whole too. Is it good or is it just attention grabbing? It's very well shot and edited. It sure looks pretty and they managed to make chess entertaining enough but beyond that, this is a really by the numbers ""sports"" story. It does explore the plight of the savants, which is a different take on things but may also not be super relatable to the average person. ""Boo hoo, I'm too good but also not quite good enough sometimes!"" isn't exactly the most sympathetic of stances.

Still, this was an entertaining watch and despite how by the numbers it was I did find myself wanting to watch each episode. If nothing else, I give this credit for the magic trick it performs and the demonstration of how style can really make an impact on how a series or piece is perceived. It's worth checking out, I don't think it quite lives up to the hype but it's a very solid show.",8
"This trio was a good choice for an ensemble story. I really enjoyed seeing Steve and Selena of course Martin, playing on each others talents. I think this was the best casting fir the type of story that unfolds. A unique way to blend a little mystery with light comedy for sure.",10
"The book wasn't absolute top, but was much better than this adaptation. The book was thought through without unbelievable scenes and wasn't boring. After some episodes it becomes clear they invented and added half of the scenes and unnecessary dialogues just to inflate the story to 10 episodes. It would have been much better if they just cut episodes to 5 and followed the book.",4
Loved this storyline so far. Enjoy the family aspect of the story and liked the new look for the robot. Hoping for a second season!,8
"I imagine popular opinion now holds that ""No Country for Old Men"" is the best Coen brothers movie ever made, but for me this 1996 crime thriller will live on as their masterpiece.

The Coens have always had trouble integrating their warped sense of humor into their films, and too often they tip the balance over into the grotesque. But in ""Fargo,"" they for once strike the perfect balance between the macabre and the absurd, and though laughs abound, the film never lets us forget the seriousness at the film's center.

The plot revolves around a money scheme gone badly awry, but the scheme itself doesn't matter. The Coens are more interested in watching what can happen to a bunch of ordinary Joes when money lust is involved. Anchoring the film with a beautiful performance is Frances McDormand as pregnant police officer Marge, whose country bumpkin accent and demeanor belies the sharp acuity of her investigative skills. The Coens are frequently mean and snide to their own characters, as if they're making movies about people who they feel superior to, but Marge is one of their most fully-realized and warmly human creations. She's the lioness protecting not only her cub but everyone else's cub as well, and the fact that she goes about her job with a smile and a friendly ""hello"" doesn't make her any less ferocious.

I love the film's final scene, in which Marge and her husband watch the evening news, both without actually speaking the words asking the other just what kind of world they're bringing their unborn child into.

Grade: A+",10
I kept waiting for the movie to start.... There was no story not even till end.... And margot robbies character was absolutely pointless...expected better fron quentin and this star cast.,3
"The movie take long time to settle itself. Too much dialogs and language is too bad. I think it is a waste on adam sandler's carrier.

Last 30 mins is sensible and on the track. But by the time it will lost the audience.

Screenplay is not good enough to catch the audience.",4
"Robert Sheehan has a top notch performance in this film and quite literally outshines all others in this series. The second season is good, but it is absolutely chock full of political ideology which I find distasteful. To what do I refer? Its in the exact same vein as the Ghostbusters remake or perhaps Oceans 8 if you catch my drift. Even with all of the Hollywood modern rhetoric it still manages to be a good tv show at a time when many shows and movies are not being made. Robert Sheehan should be rebranded as the star of the show. Ellen Page is Ellen Page and does a decent enough role with the poor writing and story that was issued to her in season 2. I wont get into details but she discovers she is a lesbian and ya, its kind of an uninteresting story for her. About another 30% of the show is all civil rights activism and protesting that is so boring and uninteresting to watch. I mean can you imagine if the Avengers became civil activists and 30% of their movies were all civil rights demonstrations and the like? Terrible. Looking beyond all of that there are excellent storylines with Klaus, #5, and #1 along with the commission. Even Diego's storyline is pretty good going from an insane asylum while sleeping with a commission double agent. These good stories seem to make up for all that other ""bad"" political plotlines listed above. Overall 7/10 for Season 2 and 8/10 for Season 1.",8
"The thing that is so hard to do in films is to make your content convincing. This is why so many other films fail. Favreau does not fail. I was worried going into Iron Man 2 that it wasn't going to live up to its hype and its prequel. But it did. The only criticism I have is that it is a bit slow for its type of movie. However, the content within the slower scenes is often filled with witty dialogue, low-key visual spectacles, and some confusing concepts. What I'm trying to get at is that Iron Man's audience is typically smaller children, and for them, I would say this movie is going to be a bit boring, for it lacks in the action department for the most part. But what may be its downfall box-office-wise is also its greatest accomplishment. Much like the Dark Knight, Iron Man 2 takes the superhero world and not-cheesily but convincingly conveys what it would be like in today's world. Not to mention we actually see Tony Stark go through a hero cycle in this one, without taking away his compulsive and loud personality. All in all, Iron MAn's long awaited release was worth it in my eyes. It was a perfect movie to kick off the Summer hype films and it makes me eager to watch what else Favreau has planned for the franchise.",8
"I found the first few episodes of Moon Knight a bit too show for my liking, hence why I have it an 8. Although, I did appreciate that the writers wanted to take their time to develop the character, and flesh out his multiple personalities, their differing lives, and their relationship with Khonshu. The casting was great, I love Oscar Isaac, and Ethan Hawke, and I am officially a new fan of May Calamawy, she was fantastic. May's interactions and her relationship with both Steven Grant and Marc Spector felt legit, and (as the kids say these days) I ship Layla and Steven! 😁👍

Additionally the cinematography was amazing, and all there characters and the story was great, kept me intrigued and coming back each week to watch the next episodes. The highlight for me was. I hope that they make more Moon Knight series and we see him and Layla (the Scarlet Scarab) in future MCU films. In fact, I'd like to see a Scarlet Scarab series or movie, her costume reveal was epic, and I would love to see and the Egyptian goddess Taweret have more interactions with one another.",8
"It was good. Good, but not great. I was expecting more from Nolan. The acting is pretty special by the majority of the main cast, but Katie Holmes, she kills it. She is unbelievable, over present and not that good an actress. Had this film been directed by some new kid on the block, I would have perhaps liked it more, but the expectation attached to it when I knew Nolan was directing it infuriates me. I expected better from the man. I think he is supremely talented, but I do not think this film shows him at his best.

All in all, worth watching in preparation to watch the gem that is The Dark Knight, but other than that,I don't watch it. In short, as a pre Dark Knight warm up, enjoyable. As a stand-alone film, forgettable.",6
"""Ready Player One"" (2018) is an adventurous science-fiction film, in which people can enter a virtual game-world away from the dystopian everyday life. The developer of the game made a riddle. Who solves it, gets the control over the game and thus improving their life. Steven Spielberg is the director.

First of all, it needs to be said that those who read the book will probably see this movie with a more critical eye for obvious reasons. I did not read the book, therefore I can only speak for the movie.

But there are already some problems in the story. Some aspects do not make sense to me. After five years only one was able to solve a quiet solvable challenge? And near the end, the behaviour of the villain? Lastly, I could not understand the message of ""Ready Player One""; I just could not get convinced of it.

Besides these flaws, you get nevertheless an entertaining adventure. The easter eggs of pop culture hidden in nearly every scene makes the movie fun. However, one also needs to actually know those references. Apart from that the effects for creating the virtual world are fantastic. The settings are also incredibly well-made. So, it does not lack in adventure and action.

Looking at the cast, everyone acted on an acceptable level. Tye Sheridan as the protagonist Wade played his role equally well as Ben Mendelson as the villain Sorrento.

If you are familiar with pop culture, love video games or just find your entertainment in action and adventure, you are not out of place here.

That's why ""Ready Player One"" gets from me 6.0 out of 10 points.",6
Amazing performances by each and every actor.Abhishek Bachchan's acting was top notch loved till the end. RajKumar rao as always took his role into a different level and Pankaj Tripathi just wow.,10
"Like many others, I'm disturbed by the spectacular reviews this dismal piece of work has been receiving. I rarely write reviews of movies, but I'm concerned about what this may mean for the future of movies, so I thought I'd weigh in.

Dunkirk lacks several essential characteristics required by common sense to even earn the classification of the term ""movie"".

First, it lacks any semblance of a plot. The director assumes that we know the actual history, but this doesn't absolve him of the responsibility of providing one, which he has not. A character states the main issue early in the ""movie"", and a screen of words provide us an unsatisfying conclusion at the end. That's it. There's actually nothing else!

Second, it lacks actual characters. Everyone agrees on this point, so you don't need to hear it again from me.

Third, it lacks any semblance of dialog. What little there is is simply irrelevant or too muddled to understand.

Were it not for its other problems, Dunkirk might effectively be a silent movie. But it'd still actually be much less than a silent movie because what passes for its background ""music"" is a few spare notes from a few instruments, repeated over and over and over, ad nauseum.

Coincidentally, after I wrote this review, I discovered that someone actually made an eight-minute silent movie out of Dunkirk! It was much better than the extended version the rest of us suffered through. Indeed, it proved that there were no more than eight minutes worth of ""movie"" in it.

I think that critics have fallen for this ""movie"" in part due to the director's previous work and in part to prove their ""brilliance""--that they can ""appreciate"" a piece of tedious tripe the rest of us do not. We see this all too often (think: modern art), and it's a shame. Let's face it, director Nolan phoned this one in and, for whatever reason, reviewers bought into it.

In short, Dunkirk is just plain awful--a scam that shouldn't have made it past the cutting room floor--a sad and inappropriate tribute to those who risked or lost their lives in the actual event.",1
"I watched this film twice on OTT and it was really hard to control my tears in this film. The dog show sequence and the climax nearly made my eyes burst into tears 😭. The makers have done a terrific job in establishing the bond between Rakshit and Charlie.

Charlie the dog can make anyone's heart melt like an icecream with his cute expressions. Who doesn't love seeing a dog smile and cry when he gets sad, Charlie demonstrates all these emotions beautifully. They made sure Charlie was not just a dog on the set but made her perform as well. Lot of effort must have gone into training her for this film.

Rakshit Shetty does a good job in emotional scenes. The film is about his reliving of life hence it is his journey as well but what is most beautiful is the dog human relation brought out so well.

Humor is there and it works perfectly.

Songs are really good but there are just too many of them (one negative). Literally a song in the background in every 5 10 mins. I love the song that goes ""Bhasha pyaar ki"" which plays in the dog show sequence in the 2nd half which made me quite emotional but the place where everyone cried was the climax and how Charlie gives a thank you gesture before dying , that scene till now whenever I imagine i get tears in my eyes, weak hearted ones will already cry profusely.

Another negative point would be the editing of this film. 2hrs 45 mins is too long for a film like this . In 2nd half, many scenes i felt could have been shortened. 2hrs 25 mins was enough for this film.

Overall, if you have voot select and missed it in theatres, give it a watch you will fall in love with the film. Dog lovers are in for a treat.",10
"As a viewer, paying attention to the details in this particular series is so rewarding",9
"I really wanted to like this ... but the writing, the flat characters, silly situations with predictable outcomes... made it painful to watch.

The design of the 'chariot' rocks, tho!",1
"I enjoyed seasons 1 & 2. 3 was a total waste of time!!! I could only make it through 4 episodes and had to stop. Instead of painfully watching the rest of the season, I just read spoilers to see who killed Bryce. There was NO reason to add the Ani character. I don't know if it was a lack of interest by the other actors so they needed a new narrator or what happened. It was complete garbage that everyone would just put all their ""deep dark secrets"" out on the table to some new chick. Then all she does is run around telling lies to everyone. I was excited for this season to see Bryce his well deserved fate, but save yourself the trouble and google the answer to the mystery.",1
"When a mix of good acting talent and worst story with screenplay put together, what you get is this type of over exaggerated, over hyped, pointless film. Background score is very worse than the film itself.",2
"Managed about 10 minutes of this mindless shouting over a terrible synth soundtrack. Everyone needed to knock it down by 50% to make this watchable.

Had to pass before my head exploded.",2
"After my second watch this is still one of the best pieces of cinema/tv. Great pacing, great story, great acting. It's just all great. The story does kinda take a nosedive through episodes 3-4, so thats by it gets 8 stars instead of 9.

8/10: amazing",8
"Boston has some amazing stories.. crime wise. Just like we tend to have the smartest people in Universities I swear that transfers over to everyone (including crime and corruption) but I don't recognize this Boston.

The good, I love that it took place in the actual settings - Suffolk Superior Court - and I loved the filming around Boston. I also enjoyed that it took place in the aftermath of the Charles Stuart disaster.... something I think every Bostonian remembers.

But Bacon over acts to the extreme and it is very distracting. Aldis Hodge is ok but imho his character is not someone I care about. Just a few tweaks and I could have been on board but he does seem somewhat dim, and in his own way, corrupt.

What is the obsession with bank robbers and Charlestown? Maybe I wasn't paying attention but it was a very small part of crime in Boston. To set an entire series around it as if it was something that happened all the time, is bull. Anyone in Boston knows where the crime is, but perhaps two liberal producers like Affleck and Damon don't want to admit that.",6
"The film wastes no time in plunging viewers into the heart of the story. Vicky Kaushal delivers a stellar performance as Major Vihaan Singh Shergill, leading a talented ensemble cast that includes Paresh Rawal, Yami Gautam, and Mohit Raina. Kaushal's portrayal of a determined and resilient army officer is both believable and inspiring, capturing the essence of patriotism and sacrifice.

""URI: The Surgical Strike"" is an enthralling cinematic experience that celebrates the unwavering spirit of the Indian armed forces. With its impressive performances, intense action sequences, and a captivating storyline, the film keeps viewers on the edge of their seats throughout. It serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women in uniform and their dedication to protecting the nation. For those seeking an adrenaline-fueled patriotic journey, ""URI"" is an absolute must-watch.",8
"I was expected way more out of the performances and plot of Dunkirk; instead of a conventional story with character development and a problem to solve,the movie plunges us onto Dunkirk amidst the carnage. This isn't inherently a bad thing as the horrors and tragedy surrounding the event are presented accurately and respectfully- we the viewer,fully understand the struggle faced by British, Belgian and French soldiers during and leading up to the crisis caused by the Nazi invasion of France.

There is no connection with any of the various characters throughout the movie, so the element of suspense ceases to exist. This is probably the most heavily criticized factor of Dunkirk and whether it can be excused or not is down to the viewers preference. Personally, I love more story driven filmic experiences with well animated characters; as Dunkirk lacks this, something that I believe to be intentional, I cannot help but feel a little disappointed.

Despite this, I still enjoyed the movie, watching it for my birthday at the cinema with friends. The visuals and cinematography are impeccable which is to be expected from Nolan and his team. I also have a great interest in the World Wars and all the costumes and vehicles seemed highly accurate.

In conclusion, Dunkirk portrays to a masterful level, the terror that marked end of the Phoney War and plunged Europe as well as the rest of the world into another conflict ending millions of lives world wide. Being in the center of this chaos, there is no time to fully understand what others are thinking, what kind of people they are, who they may leave behind. We can only watch and hope for their safety.",7
"I almost stopped watching before the end of the movie because I expected it to be just more chaos with a predictable ending. There was a little twist at the end that I didn't expect so I am happy that I decided to finish watching it. Overall, it may be work watching if it is already on one of your movie subscription services but, not worth paying extra to view it.",4
"My wife and I waded through about 25 mins of this horrid mess, just waiting for a movie to appear, it did not.

Why this poorly scripted waste of talent was labeled in part a comedy / adventure is no more than false advertising.

To say this movie is a disjointed mess is a compliment. We are still trying to understand why it was even made and whether or not the writer was high on drugs when writing it.

A real stinker in every way.",3
"Paul Rudd stars as ex-con Scott Lang, jailed for a lovably anti- corporate crime, now struggling to hold down a job and reconnect with his estranged daughter. Ant-Man nips nimbly back and forth between sizes, often within the space of a single leap. It's a peculiar superpower of which the film never quite gets the measure: bath-tub terrors and in-briefcase battles are fun, but action sequences in which Scott (Paul Rudd) mounts flying insects. Not great in action sequences, nor does the humor lasts. Instead, we're left pondering how much less engaging Rudd is than Robert Downey Jr, and how much more we laughed at the properly peculiar Guardians of the Galaxy. Ant-Man is another Marvel disappointment.",3
The show where every important character can survive anything and be on their feet in seconds. I like the story and the characters and the drama between them. But i am so tired of these ridiculous action scenes. The important characters are basically super humans than can brush of every injury they get. While the not so important die like flies. When will we get intelligent action scenes again? Without these stupid plot armors.,7
"No spoiler's here...but the twist ending has already been done before. The main actress had a poor performance in my opinion, and acting is what can make or break a movie. Also I was not a fan of the dialogue or the RIDICULOUS contradictory ending message of the movie that ""you have to do something that makes you feel alive...""

If doing dumb stuff that can kill you just for ""likes"" is your way of feeling alive, then I do not think you're living. Find a hobby or interest that doesn't consist of seeking others approval and then you will feel alive.

With all that said, I enjoyed the idea that they had for the movie, and am sure people will still enjoy it but I have seen too many ""I'm stuck"" types of movies to have liked this. This feel's like it is targeted for a younger demographic.

Jefferey Dean Morgan and the waitress were the best parts of this movie, and they got even less screen time than the vulture that terrorized this terribly written girl.

A LOT of this film feel's like a rip off of The Shallows with Blake Lively. So if you have watched too many movies like myself and are a snob this is not for you, BUT if you are NOT a snob and don't care about anything that I've written I highly recommend this movie you!",2
"There is this meme going around in the internet (Loki stans know what I am talking about), saying:

Me, watching Thor: I wish this was about Loki... :( Me, watching Loki: I wish this was about Loki... :(

Sadly, that's true. We waited for more than a decade to see OUR Loki in the spotlight, because that's what he deserves. The series is literally called LOKI. We HAVE our Loki, we LOVE our Loki, we don't want any other Loki, and you guys exactly know that. We want OUR Loki to shine, to heal, to evolve, to rise. In this series he was a weak sidekick, nothing more. Almost every scene weakened or humiliated him ridiculous, so that Sylvie can rise as the ""superior"" Loki. It was painful to watch. This is not Loki's series, just call it ""Sylvie"" then. Guess this was also the reason why ratings dropped after episode 3. If I wouldn't love Loki this much, I would've cancelled, too. Sylvie simply isn't interesting enough and in my opinion the actress is not really talented, sorry for my honesty.

The Loki-Sylvie relationship... What the HECK was that? The relationship is horrific, toxic even. Forced, rushed, no depth at all. Why were you pushing this awkward, romantic nonsense down our throats every 5 minutes? Loki was so out of character, it is insane. 5 Minutes ago Loki wanted to conquer earth. Then he watched a TVA video, and hey, he's past his abuse and trauma now, yaaay! Oh, and 5 minutes later, after knowing Sylvie for exact the same amount of time, he is head over heels and a weak, puppyeyed, illogical, drunk fool!? I feel offended on a level I can't even explain.

Can you guys imagine how it is to watch the Loki series with your brother? I am female. We sat there, laughing about Loki's and Sylvie's chaotic twin energy. When they fought about the TemPad, I literally said ""Look! This is us fighting about the TV remote!"" and my brother went like ""Hahahaa! True!"" Yeah... 5 minutes later the fun was over.

Last thing I have to say is that Tom Hiddleston and Sophia Di Martino do not have any on-screen chemisty. Tom tried to sell it (Kudos for the try), but it simply isn't there and it shows. The non-romantical Loki-Mobius relationship has like 5000% more chemistry and dynamic. Owen, you nailed that performance, I am massively impressed.

PS: Marvel. I don't wanna be dramatic but did you check your own canon Loki content? May I remind you about his powers and abilities?

Loki possesses strength, durability, and longevity far superior to humans. The most powerful sorcerer in all of Asgard, Loki's magical abilities include astral projection, shape-shifting, hypnosis, molecular rearrangement, energy blasts, levitating, conjuration, cryokinesis, telekinesis and teleportation. In addition, Loki can connect to others telepathically and see into their memories, mystically imbue objects, and create rifts between dimensions.

(...) Loki is highly intelligent with immense knowledge and skill (...) A highly-tactical thinker, Loki is able to manipulate opportunities and events in his favor; his cunning mind far exceeding Thor and Odin's. (...) Loki, an expert combatant, typically wields throwing knives (...)

LET HIDDLESTON FCKNG SHINE!!!",4
"(This is my second review submission for 'Jojo Rabbit' (2019). My first was removed by IMDB)

In an attempt to avoid wasting more time writing reviews that later get pulled, I will be short and ""to the point"".

The holocaust is not funny, so I don't want to see jokes in a movie about WWII. Go read some Churchill if you want to experience WWII.

Musicals are outdated forms of entertainment, only enjoyed by pseudo-intellectuals, old ladies, and elitists. Stop wasting my time performing songs that aren't good enough for the radio plays or YouTube views, performed by ""singers"" that weren't good enough to get a record deal or write a hit song, or actors that always wanted to be singers and are, literally, living out a holocaust fantasy on film.

The whole concept of this film is disgusting, and if you are considering watching this film, then you should be ashamed of yourself.

"So glad they made a new ""Lost in Space"" series, totally enjoy all the episodes and ended up watching it 3 times, because I enjoyed that much. When I first saw the previews for Lost in Space, I have to admit, I was a little skeptical, but after watching the first episode, I was hooked. It seems to me all these negative reviews are a lot because it's totally different then the original series, but that's what makes is so good. So do yourself a favor, don't read anymore reviews, sit back and watch it and I bet you will enjoy!!!",9
"What. A. Sequel. This movie helped the superhero movie industry so much! It's amazing! The hero is great and life beats him up so bad you can't help but sympathise with him. The struggle between Peter Parker and Spiderman is the most important part in any good Spiderman story, and this movie nails it! The villain is fantastic, with solid motivation and who is vastly different from the hero, yet still connected to him! Harry gets even more development into turning to the new Goblin. The romance can be a bit of a pain in the gut but it's not bad and once again it perfectly shows Peters struggle. The effects are vastly better than the first and it has great fight scenes as well. The scene where Spiderman fights Doc Ock on top of the train is still one my favourite superhero movie fight scenes of all time! Could watch this movie again and again. 9.5/10 from me!",9
"There's no meaningful story. Literally nothing. First 30 minutes had an interesting set up, then DiCaprio snorts Coke and shouts manically for the rest of the movie, Margo gets her kit off, nothing remotely interesting happens and then thankfully it ends. Well it ended with 30 mins left for me as I couldn't take any more of the tedium. Dullest movie I've seen in a long time. I can only imagine that 20 year old Coke heads are banging 10/10 scores because they think it's cool. Can't fault the acting by DiCaprio, but the script couldn't be further away from Gilbert Grape. Has there been a decent Scorsese film in the past 20 years? There's so much quality available to watch these days, if this was released today it would be right on its arse where it deserves.",2
"The Witcher is a good example for me why you shouldn't compare books, and in this case games, with TV adaptations. I cannot enjoy a movie or a tv-show if I constantly compare it with the book. I also don't understand the constant comparison to Game of Thrones. It's not Game of Thrones, it's the Witcher!

Even though I know the books and the game, the tv-show entertained me well. Henry Cavill as Geralt worked very well for me and the rest of the cast was fine too. The CGI was sometimes not that good, but here I hope that the next season will have more budget. Overall, I'm looking forward to another season.",8
"When i first saw the trailer it looked like a really great movie to watch but it had quite a few dull moments but inspite of that the movie does hold well and it does reveal quite a few things,overall this is a weak sequel but i think franchise will become much more interesting with more things to be unravelled and i am very curious to watch Grindelwald vs Dumbledore,it will be one hell of a duel i guess",7
"I liked just about everything in Amsterdam, except the mostly redundant and ridiculously long wrap-up narration.

It's beautifully shot, the costumes are gorgeous, and the ensemble cast compulsively watchable.

The plot is convoluted, and some of the quirkiness felt forced, but much more was inspired.

Russell (American Hustle, The Fighter) sure knows how to get a great performance from Christian Bale. While Margot Robbie was by turns broad and subtle. John Washington rounds out the friendship triangle in a characterisation that's least played for laughs. And Mike Myers really looked like he was enjoying himself under all that makeup.

The murder-reveal scene and build-up was genuinely suspenseful and reminded me, in a good way, of The Prestige.",8

"This unnecessary musical glosses over important moments that should be monumental, instead they are nothing more than a background",4
Wow I must just hate Rian Johnson after the Last Jedi but this film was so long in the tooth. Absolute no care about any of the characters. They are as boring as paste. I have no care about the story and do not see any draw towards Daniel Craigs forced accent. No one speaks that deeply of a drawl from the south come on now. This was a real disappointment and try it if you have time to waste thats all this is.,1
Did i just wasted my time? Yes i did....I can honestly compare this movie to that roller coaster all your friends talk about and you feel you have to try it because everyone is talking about it but in the end you wish you didnt listen to those fools!,3
"Interstellar is a good movie and a must see for Sci-Fi fans. Although others might disagree, I would call this a combo of 2001 and Gravity. The plot of the movie is that life on Earth is coming to an end from a global grain blight and another Dust Bowl. Unless a new place for the Human Race is found, Human life will not live on. A leading Scientist, Michael Cain, discovers a stable worm hole giving the possibility of a new beginning for the Human race - if a planet is found that can support Human life.

So a crew is assembled to go through the worm hole to try to find a new home for the Human race. The Crew is lead by Mathew McConaughy and Ann Hathaway. The team has to deal with leaving loved ones behind as they search for a new home. McConaughy gives a great performance and so does Hathaway, although I would have liked to have seen more of her in this movie.

Overall this movie has great special effects, a decent story, good suspense, and is very enjoyable. The only downside of this movie is its too long. So this one is an enjoyable movie experience.",7
This actually is completely different from most anime. I'm normally an action/horror anime fan. I also felt like I just learned soo much about rocks and the things you can do with it. Interesting. I guess that's the power of science.,9

It deviates a lot from the books but its still a great tv show overall.",9
"I was expecting a better movie. It wasn't in the 'Harry Potter' sphere, but it was still enjoyable to watch movies from that world.",7
"Enjoyed season 1

Season 2 I gave up after 3 episodes Chaotic & no depth , as if a different director or production team , zero substance leaving viewer not caring about what actually happens next Glad I gave up it was getting painful",5
I found it frustrating and annoying. It hurt my head 😏.,3
"I think we have finally found the balance with seriousness and comic book style in this film. To compare it to Batman, I would call it a cross between Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan. I never really supported Nolan's films but fans always said his were better because they were more serious. I always argued that they didn't have the style and aesthetics of a comic book film. I was not sure it was possible to appease both sides. Winter Soldier did that.

All of the actors do a fantastic job. Robert Redford is a surprisingly evil **** and Anthony Mackie does a great job as the Falcon. Samuel L Jackson turns on boss mode. Sebastian Stan is the terminator. Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansen whoop ass all day long. And we have at least three more (geez, that's 8) to mention--Frank Grillo, Emily Van Camp, and Georges St. Pierre. Heck, even the Russos themselves are in the film and do OK with their roles! Great film. No question. 10/10!",10
"I tried to watch this movie with an open mind, despite being quite aware of the many high-praises that this film had garnered over the years. I paid very-close attention and I watched the whole movie very carefully.

What did I see ?

Nothing special,that's for sure! The movie is very slow-moving.

The characters are silly,laughable clichés. The plot is predictable with a few unlikely twists. Some of the movie is unintentionally funny because it is so unbelievably weak in spots.

I kept waiting (in vain) for the pace of the movie to pick-up,or for something to happen that seemed even somewhat realistic. (Which never occurred).

When the movie finally ended,I was sorely disappointed and I wondered what was supposed to be so special about the whole thing. I'm still wondering why this movie is so highly rated. I honestly can only conclude that so-many people claim to like this movie because that is what they are expected to say and it is easier to go along with the crowd than to just be objective and honest. This movie is not special,it is not good,and in fact it isn't even mediocre. It is a truly forgetable snoozefest,a C- or D level film. That is my honest opinion,and I cannot be the only person to come to this obvious conclusion...even if I am one of the few that has the nerve to say it. 2/10,an overrated snoozefest and a complete waste of time. Skip it.",2
Totally overrated... 6/10 at max.Slow...unimpressive,1
"While the acting is OK, the shots are quite good, the mood is not very dynamic, it's like house to college to party and back again. No storytelling, no destination and goes nowhere from the beginning, it banks on over emotional tags..... Boring!!!!",1
"It's gripping, well crafted, actors are all top notch. The script is excellent in the fact that you always think you know what's coming and then the unexpected happens and you're flabbergasted. What I'm saying is, don't try to solve the puzzle, just let it reveal itself on its own.

The only thing I felt cheated on was how they made you think this show would have some deeper meaning, would make a comment on the current political and social situation in the UK, but then they decided to take the Hollywood exit. Which is fine, but it means that this series is no more memorable than the hundreds of other like it that have come and gone, it lost that bit of originality and meaningfulness. Still, it's a good thriller.",7
"I think the screen play was well done as to the relationships of characters and how Spider-man comes to believe in himself again. I also like how Mary Jane Watson asserts herself on Peter Parker in order to save her love. Doc. Ock. was a wonderful villain and played the changing moods or dispositions so very well. As far as Harry Osborn, he's just one of those characters who will not change, and after the reappearance of the dead Norman Osborn, he is all but locked into the role of resurrecting Green Goblin now. One must remember that Peter Parker, with his spider powers, is still a real boy and different from other super hero's. I feel that the movie was very well done.",8
"It starts out like every other DC movie. Great CGI, fancy girls in metal bikinis, and a bit of humor delivered by Chris Pine.

The entire story is completly bogus, even compared to other DC films, but it keeps the movie going, at least until the last 30 minutes. The revelation of the ""real"" antagonist starts a neverending, long-winded series of platitudes, which were cut together mindlessly to extend the movie a little further.

It reminded me a lot of the beginning of Star Trek Discovery and its ridiculous Klingon chanting. Never gonna watch this stupid film again.",3
"There is no way that this movie should be the number one on IMDb's list it is in no way just to this site. Although it was an enjoyable film that did keep me entertained i could not get over the way people were talking about this movie.

The number one thing that bothered me about this movie is editing there was no need for many little scenes in this movie which is why the movie ran a bit long for my taste.

The other issue that bothered me was TWO FACE???? He looked so ridiculous that i could not take him seriously. They should have made his other half looked like it had been burned (which is not what they did in my opinion). People cant just walk around without skin on, this was a big distraction for me and could have easily been dealt with if someone had the balls to talk to Nolan he is only human and therefore can make mistakes.

All in all a good movie but please take it off the number one movie on the list.",4
"Interstellar is one hell of an over-rated movie. The movie is based on theoretical physics and is like watching a prolong show on discovery channel. The Filming was really awesome but the plot sucks at various level. I don't get it that why everyone is so obsessed with showing a devastated world, numerous of movies/dramas of this era are showing that earth will be destroyed in their own ways, and all have pathetic plots from Automata to Cargo to Interstellar. However the scenes, the filming was epic one of the best of Christopher Nolan and damn you can never have enough of best effects from Nolan but still we have seen better than this one. A total time of waste it was for me.",4
"This movie depicts the lengths kids will go to score beer.

McLovin hanging with cops.",8
I was a huge fan of 13RW Season 1. It was a perfect season with very good moments. Season 2 was okay till the last episode and the ending was utterly ridiculous. They should've stopped there to avoid further disappointing seasons. But they renewed again and turned the third season into a murder investigation. They created a replacement for Hannah in a new character named Ani. I don't know who is playing Ani but she did a really bad job. Her screen presence makes us feel horrible and they could've done a better casting. All the other cast members were same as before. Now a final season is coming and I don't know if it can be more bad.,8
"The only reason people are going to watch this movie is Chris Hemsworth, that's easily the greatest selling point for this movie.

The performances are really good the entire cast has done a wonderful job at bringing these characters to life. The action is great but it is one of those movies which look good and seem very promising but do not deliver. The characters feel almost hollow for the most part.

The only character who had some back story was Randeep Hooda (Saju) he is the only one whose actions feel appropriate in the given situation. You don't get why Chris Hemsworth's character is trying so hard to save this kid there was no reason for him to try so hard. The story kind of feels forced at times.

All in all, the movie is fine you might have a good time watching it but due to poor writing and hollow characters, the movie just feels flat.",6
"Huge disappointment, season 1 was 100 times better than this useless abusive utter nonsense.",1
Watching paint dry is better think I go watch paint finish,1
"I would have never guessed that there are so many masochists in this world. This seriously is absolutely a waste of time and should be avoided at all cost. I watched 3 episodes to see whether it will get any better, but it started really bad and to my shock it actually managed to get even worse. It is basically an incoherent mess.

There are many issues with this abomination of a TV series. You have poor CGI at the level of low-budget 90s shows (such as Xena or Hercules), you have terrible actors that can hardly act, you have terrible casting of characters, and really poor writing.

These are all major issues and could break any series. But they are over-shadowed by the plot, which is totally incoherent, confusing, and illogical. Although I have read the books, I had hard time understanding what is going on. The plot jumps between different characters without properly introducing them. It covers different timelines without explaining which events took place in the past and which are taking place now. The main characters have no purpose, they seem to perform their actions for reasons only known to the script-writers. If you have never read the books or played computer games then there is no way you can follow the plot. Even having read the source material I had hard time following the plot. How this can have an average score of above 5 on IMBD is beyond me. The only explanation is that Netflix (just like Disney) is buying the reviews.

What is worst is that the books themselves are so easy to read, they have such a nice structure that just begs to be adapted for movies or TV series. Yet somehow the script-writers decided that they need to change them. All those changes were unnecessary and for the worse. Basically, if there is something that does not make sense (which almost everything) you can be sure it is because the script-writers decided to inject their own ""vision.""

Verdict: Avoid at all costs especially if you have never been exposed to the source material.",1
"I guess I""m outvoted. But I'll speak my mind anyway. The non-stop flirtatious banter between Clooney and Bullock is completely out of place in a movie where two people are supposed to be fighting for their lives throughout most of the movie. I had no sense of suspense. Bullock, making sure that she gets to be alluring, talks to herself quite a bit in an unrealistic, cutesy. Anything to add to her stardom. The music stunk. The best thing about this movie was Bullocks' legs, which are featured prominently in all their glory. The only person connected with this turkey who should get an Oscar is her personal fitness trainer (for the legs.)",2
"Amazingly Powerful Musical Drama Movie...!! I thought this movie would be like another indian musical movie that has so many unnecessary song, and unexpected drama; But now after I have finished watching this I've been thinking that it is one of the best musical movie I've ever seen in my life!

Secret Superstar will still make you laugh and cry with ease. I couldn't even control myself while I've been watching it; I laughed when they laughed, I shed tears when they cried... Really heart touching Movie this is!!

Zaira Wasim as Insia, acted very powerfully and professionally... There's no way anyone ever think that she is lip-singing... Even my friend Ahmed Litun told me that she is really that playback artist, then I had to google to make sure she isn't.

Amir Khan made this film wealthy and funny... When Aamir Khan backs a film, you expect quality.",8
"Aside from some Questionable Casting Choices, I was looking forward to this show. Within 5 minutes I knew I had to throw out any preconcieved notions I may have had about the Addam's family and take this show on its own. None of that is why I have so many problems with this show.

This feels like a poorly written cliche New Student at High School complete with Alternagirl being forcibly paired with the Preppy Blond, who gives her a tour of campus complete with ""These are the different cliques and this is what you should think about them, oh and there's the Evil Prom Queen. No one will ever beat her"" to Alternagirl bonds with guy from group she's told to stay away from. And an obvious set up for a love triangle.

They might as well and written the script in crayons. The lines for these characters have al been heard before in ""Insert Random TEEN Drama Here"" and brings nothing to the table. They arent even utilized in any creative way.

The concept and plot points make no sense. She is being sent to a school for Misfit Children who are different, but the school social dynamics and personalities are EXACTLY the same that have been presented at every High School Set Movie or TV show since Grease! Or even earlier. Outcadt in Name only. Everyone Magically Knows Fencing, Which Brings me to my next point of contention.

Wednesday, the central Character (Duh) is presented as someone with a high knowledge base, high level of skill in Escape, Planning, Manipulation, Subterfuge, Fencing (?), Super-Negativity and Non-Conformity. But in her first Escape attempt she fails to consider that making a scene with the Kindergarten Quality Townie Bullies might work against her? That makes no sense. Wednesday's dynamic with her mother Morticia also makes no sense, NOR does the cringey Nick Name Gomez decides to give Morticia. No Itteration of Morticia would EVER deign to be called ""Tish"" WHAT?!

Jenna Ortega fails to bring anything new to a character and instead simply copies Christina Ricci's take. Ricci's take was far scarier and leaned heavily on dead-pan delivery than the original TV show. Ortega just does more of the same. I suppose if you think someone can be Star Quality at singing Karaoke, you could enjoy her performance here.

On top of my small personal Petty Complaints (The Gomez casting decision, that Kid from ""The Gifted"" who just grates my nerves) All of this together makes the show UNWATCHABLE!",1
Found the acting rather poor along with the movie. Honestly it's a waste of time.,2
Even early on not one character stands out while in the first series all characters were clearly defined. Nothing about it holds my attention. Sad after waiting all these years. Not bad but not good either. Lame is the best review I can give it.,2
"Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt play Western TV star and his stunt double in 1969. It ostensibly is about these protagonists noticing how Hollywood has changed since they first started in showbiz. Many of their scenes were shot at the ghost town location where the Manson family is now living, apparently by then it was no longer being used by Hollywood. One day Brad Pitt picks up a female hitchhiker who is one of the hippies that lives in the ghost town hippie commune. Pitt drives her there and experiences what would creep out the average person, but Pitt's character handles it in style. (he even has an interesting encounter with Bruce Lee) This is a typical Quentin Tarantino movie, very quirky with a mix of drama and comedy. This movie is remarkably tame as far as violence goes, until the very end, which shows an alternative universe version of the Manson family violence. This movie is not for the faint of heart!",5
"Would not change a thing and could not ask for more, thanks to all who created this show.",10
"It goes from the mesmerizing season 1, where you're hooked to your tv and absolutely wanna know how everything will end, to a good season 2, not as good as the first but surely enjoyable, to season 3 where the show goes way down.

Season 1: 9 Great plot, good acting, incredible soundtrack

Season 2: 8 Good plot, same incredible soundtrack with something new

Season 3: 6 A bit stupid plot, not so good acting, the soundtrack is ok but not majestic as the others.

It lost it's sci-fi mistery notes to get an annoying teen drama way. The whole thing is brought by S1 and S2, let's hope S4 (which is 99% sure) will take its revenge.",8
"Truthfully I'm not sure how much of a say Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá had in this but I read the first two volumes of the comics and I will choose the series over the comics any day. The show outdoes itself with the story, the action and best of all the music. Seriously whoever chose the songs needs a damn raise. They know what they're doing. If a third season is coming then I'm looking forward to what they with it. They're using the potential they've been given. Keep at it Netflix. Can't wait to see what's in store. Also if you're a Marvel fan like I am. You know how tough it's been for us this year. Season 2 will deliver everything you've missed and even more",9
"I'm historically a big fan of Affleck's direction. I really enjoy him as an actor, as I do for just about the entirety of the cast. Let's forget the historical 'accuracy' of the movie, because I couldn't care less. When I see a movie, I'm there to watch the movie. Im not checking off aspects of the story it's based on. Unless it's part of a series of movies I shouldn't need any background information to understand or enjoy. My problem is how boring this is. It's cliched, overdramatic and self-obsessed to the point of just being dull. I wanted to like it, and now I want to erase it from my memory.",4
"The great thing about this movie is that rich people actually do nothing wrong. The husband and wife are loving, the children are gratifying, there is no derailment, there is no cold violence, there is no child abuse, and the driver and the servant are generous. Judging from the movies, they are stupid and have more money. They do not have their own main ideas. They are turned around by the poor, as if to play a role in highlighting the poor.",6

"Finally watched WandaVision, I've been waiting for the whole thing to come out so I could watch it as a whole. Absolutely loved it. So much better than it had any right to be. I had high expectations and it still beat those, it was so cleverly written. There's literally 20+ things in every episode that has a reference or hidden meaning. I still can't believe how much they crammed in to 9 episodes. I think it's up there with the best of the MCU, maybe even the best season of a superhero tv show I have ever seen.",8
"Such a let down watching this, had high hopes but it just wasn't good at all.",1
"Everyone plays like they are autistic and nobody knows what's going on but they are still doing something and then baam! The CABAL. The chick with from suicide squad is acting like she's still in a super hero movie, cheesy acting. If there was reason for wasting time watching this was christian bale and chris rock, but it was such a boring mess. It's a perfect example that hollywood doesn't care, tier A cast and the high budget of this sleeping aid? Maybe people would say it's art, art to make you wonder when would it end because kept going drifting off and then Baaam! Adhd's gone, we got something now in general.",3
"Of course, don't pay any attention on the terrible overacting and the horrible directing...Why should you take a look on that things. Armor look like a cheap plastic. The script seems to have been written by a five-year-old girl, and money was given only for the salary of the main actor. The new fan film (Half a century of poetry later 2019 Alzur's Legacy) also has a weak script, but it was even more pleasant to watch than this tolerant nonsense.",1
"Firstly no blue people 🔷 - ATLA came out first - there is no movie in Ba Sing Se - or universe - fingers crossed for Netflix 🤞 Secondly I think it's really underrated - it's the 7th highest rated show and number 1 kids - I didn't know this FOR THE UTTER LACK OF APPRECIATION And I'm 11 and I've never been like OH ATLA IS MY FAVOURITE SHOW bc everyone's watching 12+ eye roll 🙄 and now if someone's like OH YOU WATCH AVATAR THATS A KIDS SHOW Now I'll be like oh that's really funny what's you favourite show ?

"2 of the dullest MCU characters come together to make a dull show. Zero chemestry between them. Boring plot. The only postive is that it looks great. Maybe I was just spoiled by WandaVision, but this is just absolutely boring as watching paint dry.",3
"I don't understand all those superlatives around this series. It seems like people are satisfied with mediocre writing, and bad acting if you give them solid direction, great camera and music with the hint of leftist agenda these days. This series has 0 character development. I didn't care for the main protagonist one bit, because he has no dimension. No feelings, no sympathy or emotion. It is simply hard to care for. I bet the whole writing for the first episode is about two pages long. No originality in the story, just predictable outcomes one after another. It is a great example how a mediocre story with zero heart, can confuse the audience in believing they are watching masterpiece if you surround it with great technical features. Take a look at Chernobyl. Very similar setup. A known topic, that never got much space, just like chess, yet it has everything ""The Queen's Gambit"" lacks. Acting, Writing, Heart and Brain (which is ultra rear) and an amazing finale. That is the masterpiece. TQG is just an expensive fast-food without any taste for everyday consumer. A big let down. Ask yourself a question..were you ever surprised by anything in this tv series..?!",4
"What worked: Even after years of its release, the movie is fresh, engaging and enjoyable watch. What makes this movie a great movie is a right balance of film making process; direction, editing, score, screenplay and acting. Personally, one of the best Ratnam movies. The music and score blends very well with the narrative, and hats off to the screenplay and direction. Abhishek is phenomenal in his role. I think the movie deserves all the praise and appreciation. What did not work: Not that the songs are not good, they are great but I would have taken out or crisp the first two songs of the movie. I can not think of any weakness in the movie. Final verdict: highly recommended.",9
I enjoyed the series so I bought the books which I read all 3 in less that a week... I hope they complete the set with the series as I'm hoping the second series will be better as I feel they changed/left critical bits out of first series,7
"At first glance I considered the possibility that the town & people within may be victims of thanos & the ""blip"" but that was quickly dismissed after Ep.1... The mystery alone of wanda & visions true location has kept me entertained & wanting more. The expectation of action has taken a backseat to the hows & whys surrounding this story...the strange behavior of the neighbors, the possibility that they may know the ""truth""....the possibility that they may not even be real...I LOVE IT! My only concern is that we may not get any real answers in the 1st season. Someone IS watching these people....BUT WHO?!? I can't wait to see more.",8
"I recently finished watching the Netflix series Wednesday, and it's absolutely perfect holiday watch. It's has old addams traditional family drama.

The performances are top-notch, with each actor bringing a unique energy to their respective roles. The writing is also great, with some unexpected plot twists and plenty of suspenseful moments. The production values are also very high, with excellent visuals and a great soundtrack.

The writing is sharp and the show does a great job of exploring the characters' lives in a meaningful way.

Overall, Wednesday is a must-watch series. It's a thrilling and captivating show that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Highly recommended!",7
"This is a show about akward kids and teens and annoying unlikable adults filled with CGI effects. The worst is that dumbass sheriff Hopper. Wyona Ryder excells in making exagerated face distorsions. Some scenes were so freaking annoying that I skipped them! Calling this a horror movie is a disgrace, unless you consider disgust beeing horror! I am most probably too old for this. Ooh and the bad, ugly, brutal Russians - what a cliché! Please spare us with a fourth season of this BS. Well I have 2 and a half more episodes to go, but I don't see any sense or purpose in doing this show (except for hitting the right audience and with that money, lol). Really don't get the hype about this serial, 1. Season was great, 2. Season so so, 3. Season is just see above! Get new writers!",1
"Director: Joel Coen, Script: Ethan and Joel Coen, Cast: Frances Mcdormand, William H. Macy, Steve Buscemi, Peter Stormare, Kristin Rudrud, Harve Presnell.

This might just be the Coen brothers at their best. This film is funny, suspenseful and at times shocking. I just recently saw Raising Arizona again and although it is also a great film I think I prefer the dark comedy and 'film noir' elements of Fargo. Set in the heartland of Minnosota, this film is about a sales manager (Jerry played by William H. Macy) who is in deep financial trouble. He tries to con his rich father in-law out of a large sum of money by staging a kidnapping of his wife for ransom. He hires a couple of thugs (Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare) to do the job but things don't go quite as planned. People end up dead and now Jerry is in all kinds of trouble. The local police chief Marge (a very pregnant police chief played by Frances McDormand) gets involved in the case.

I thought the Minnosota location in winter time was a perfect setting for this kind of film. It represents middle America turned upside down! Frances McDormand was great as the small town police chief. She was very funny and did a great job impersonating the Minnosota accent and words--yaw! Steve Buscemi is good as usual. Even as a tough bad guy his nerdy self still comes across! It is funny how he can be a absolute nerd like he was in Ghost World and a total bad ass in this film yet pretty much act the exact same way! This move is very violent and unsettling at times but it is offset somewhat by Marge and Norm (her husband). They offer some normalcy in this film. We take comfort in them.

This film has the offbeat characters that the Coen brothers are known for. The excellent setting and cinematography, black humour and suspense make this film a must see. One of the best films of the 90's. A modern classic.",9
Great to watch an inspirational journey of aspirants which people have never witnessed before in such a great way.,8

Directing
Main cast
Action scenes (Specially the Airport Battle)

"I watched this show the first few days it came out and I didn't know much about it going in. Overall, the show is good. I really enjoyed the parts Tim Burton directed. Sucks he stopped half way thru. You can definitely tell a shift in quality after episode 4.

The cast of characters were fun and had great chemistry. Many of them are young so there was some really bad acting here and there, but it was still fun.

The mystery element of the show was done really well. I enjoyed each episode except for the last one. They went full supernatural on us which was weird. It was a complete tone shift and felt out of place, especially for a series finale. But as I mentioned earlier, the show is good. Its overrated but ill still catch the second season.",7
"Assuming we want to watch a tv series, we must expect a single story, so it is not a tv series, it is a movie i didn't find any interest in this show,it was unexpected, the acting is acceptable even every episode was great, it wasn't cliché, but a single story line was really better for such a show.

Good show is one that you witness acting,scripts, surprising scenes and a very certain story line. Bugs are not acceptable in great shows, there was many scenes that directors and producers only had created a scene that surprise the audience but all the happenings till that scene wasn't accurate. I respect this show and i enjoyed it a bit,but it wasn't a masterpiece, it was only assumed as an entertainment.",1
"I went to see Spider-Man 2 and I was greatly surprised. I'm sure everyone knows that most sequels just aren't up to par with the first installments. I can honestly say that in this case, it not only isn't true but that Spider-Man 2 surpasses the first Spider-Man in quality.

Tobey Maguire does an excellent job at portraying a college student who is trying (and failing) to keep a part time job, protect his city, stay in a relationship and keep up his grades. The thing is no one will ever know what it is like to be a super hero, but Maguire makes us somehow relate with Peter and his struggles. The rest of the acting in this movie is high quality as well. Kirsten Dunst is good, and can surprisingly pull off a British accent better than most American actors. A great performance is given by James Franco who does a lot with his minor character.

Overall, this movie is able to have amazing action sequences and keep the audience interested with an actual plot. There are some parts that are a tad precious, and some lines could be improved but it manages for the most part to be pulled off. If you're not into action movies or superhero movies, you'll still be happy to see this film. If nothing else, you'll have a good time and won't regret paying 8 or so dollars.",10
"The movie obviously sets out from the beginning to show that Dunkirk was a mess. I get it but for a movie watcher it is frustrating to not understand for a very long time what the director is trying to accomplish. We must follow A random array of characters from infantryman, to private boat owners, fighter pilots and a couple other characters desparate plight in what must be an middle Day in the evacuation timeline. Scenes are a random collection with no glue to hold them other than the flight from France. An obvious expense was used to create the authenticity which in afraid is rather wasted expenditures. The movie would most likely benefit by using an announcer to help keep us on point. I soent most of my time watching remarking ""Well that sucks"" but not having too much sympathy since the accosted character had no build up to appeciate his dilemma. I do appreciate the interesting perspectives the director obviously tried to show. Men watching other mens actions and demise from their current perspective was a new experience in cinematography. I do not recommend this for prime viewing, rather something to occupy your time on a rainy day or watch while waiting for the wrecker driver to arrive and tow your vehicle to safety.",5
"Loved this movie great performance by Abhay , top notch direction as well . Climax is what I felt could have been a bit more tight .",7
"Terrible all the way around. Too much CGI BS and no plot development or ANYTHINNG else.

"I get the appeal for this kind of movie, it had me a couple of times, it has some clever turns, but overall it's nothing special. The acting was pretty good, with some overacting here and there from the dad character, but nothing immersion breaking.",4
"This film is not what it would be,and not enough emotional.I just don't understand the screenplay nominations,if this film has a plot,without for example:twists ,two dimension characters,dialogs.The acting is good,but the film has not real, own, new story,they wanted to say maybe this could happen to you.OK you will feel like somebody else did tell you this story.Sometimes the director Sofia Coppola just can not do anything to your attention.Someones says this is a very sophisticated story,and thats why we can not feel ,or see what we want to see or feel on the screen.And I'm sorry this is not a clever film,cause can not create DEEP emotions,and I have to tell you if you want to cry just watch for example:Titanic,Sixth Sence,Gattaca,Terminator2-3,Superman.",3

"The more u see Guru.. It appears inspiring, highlighting a true visionary.. People who made the difference in those days.. Mani has sculpted each scene which is evident.. But it reminds me of old movies.. The 'Godfather' image was very much evident.. And his all time great 'Nayagan'(Tamil) which itself was inspired from 'Godfather'. But Mani 's class stands on his way of portraying 'Guru'.. who is more subtle, cool, more outspoken than the other two.. But in last scene Mani shows 'Guru' is the 'Godfather' of business and he means business.. Big B should be proud of his son.. Ash is apt and the chemistry between them is good(obvious).. To me this movie is ""new wine in old bottle"".. tastes good.. looks familiar..",8

"Iron Man 2 isn't as strong as the first one, but it's still an enjoyable movie. I never really found Mickey Rourke's character to be a compelling villain. In general, I think this movie feels like an Iron Man movie, but just does everything the first one did a little worse. It's not a bad movie.",6
"If you want to watch a great movie with strong storyline, perfect direction and awesome background score, this should be in your watchlist.

"To sum up mu thoughts on Amsterdam: I would say it feels like a film that's been hacked down from a good 3 hour film down to a 2+ hour mess. It feels like there's just so much to praise here from Acting on all fronts to Lubezki's emasculated visuals to O'Russel's gift for crafting insane, tense, and often hysterical individual scenes. That's why it kills me to say it just never seems to click into place.

The very first rule in writing a good story: show, don't tell. Amsterdam is 80% tell. Constant voice over exposition just completely shatters any sense of flow the story could have had and I'm not someone who typically bemoans the use of it. If anything I was excited in the beginning, realizing it was going to be a part of Amsterdam being a huge fan of O'Russel's American Hustle. After all, I would prize that film as one of the most exemplary pieces of how to pull it off correctly. Amsterdam is the complete opposite. The film seems to jump unexpectedly and illogically all over the place, explaining it's way through almost every scene with almost no time reserved for getting to know the characters as people and what does exist of character development only served to remind me of how great this film could have been had it only went a little further.

I can't say I didn't enjoy the film at but I'd never say it blew me away either. I'm still glad I saw it.",6
"The trailer got me all worked up being a huge fan of such genres !! But, within the first 15 minutes of watching the show I lost interest as the direction and acting was plain horrible And I knew the show is going to be a major flop !! I didn't have the patience to even finish the first episodse. The quality of Netflix shows is literally going down the drain with shows Like this being made.",2
"If I had to describe the movie in a single word I'd say ""boring"".

Things happened on screen, but at the same time nothing really happened. The movie inside the movie looked more interesting than most of the other stuff that was shown.

About 1 hour into the movie I checked my smartphone clock because I didn't really see the movie going anywhere interesting. The question ""where are they going with this?"" constantly popped up in my mind because it just didn't make any sense. Some characters were completely unnecessary for the movie but still had a lot of screen time (Margo Robbie for example).

I also couldn't really identify what this movie wanted to be. It had elemends from thrillers, documentatries, slasher flicks as well as parodies. But the combination wasn't good but rather felt randomly mashed together. I had a good laugh at the ending, but there was just to much nonsense before that which meant I couldn't really enjoy it.

At the end I was just happy that these 2 1/2 hours were over and actually wanted to have them back. Feeling like I wasted over 2 hours is not really good...

The actors did a good job with the material they had though.",4
Great cast and writing other than Vanya constantly throwing a fit and almost ruining the show. Luckily Klaus's redeems everything for me.,8
"I saw this recently on streaming after hearing so much hype about how it was so important and such an incredible movie. After I watched it I wondered if I'd ordered the wrong movie. The whole thing was just lame unfunny jokes, a convoluted plot line, bland acting and mixed messaging which seems to be trying to be positive for women but are unintentionally negative - especially at the end with how the Barbies trick the Kens, I mean is the positive message for my daughter meant to be to exploit men by buttering them up? Er what?

Reviews for this were glowingly positive and I pretty much disagreed with all of them, but even the negative reviews praised the set design and Barbie land, personally I didn't see the big deal, like they copied how the dream houses look and made a set of it. Whoopty do.

The two stars are mostly for Ryan Gosling and Allan (I forget the actors name) as they were the best part of the movie, even though Gosling Ken strolling was sad to me. Which is ironic given it was meant to be a movie about empowering women.

Disappointing and I expect this movie to be re evaluated as bad in the future.",2
"This show has a good, hold your head up, 7.2 rating at time of writing but all the reviews I'm reading are negative. The show is obviously doing something right with the casual watcher just not with the critic wannabes out there. The show is simple with easy to follow characters, but that's the whole point of a family show. This is an exciting programme with outstanding visuals that the whole family can enjoy. Yes it's predictable and over the top but it's exactly what a show like this should be. Just switch your brain off, sit down as a family and enjoy.",7
I like the bits where they nod and say Yar yar al the time,10
"I must admit I am not a big fan of Christopher Nolan's 'Batman', much preferring what Tim Burton did with the character, and so I didn't expect much from 'The Dark Knight Rises'. I was pleasantly surprised to find myself genuinely intrigued and moved by the characters and captivated by the plot. The script, usually the worst element of Nolan's films, was witty in parts - particularly Catwoman's lines. The thematic interpretation of the film worked quite well also, as did the several twists. I didn't love this movie, though, quite the contrary - Bane was annoying and it went for far too long. And I hate Batman's voice.",6
"Very lethargic and pointless. So much of this movie made no sense to the entirety the film. Aside from Pitt's character the movie was a waste.

Now, it's no secret that I am not a huge fan of Tarantino. Most of his movies I don't watch more than once. This one will not be an exception. Yeah, the camels are cool, the somewhat truth behind some of the story was a stretch and really didn't tie together. Far too long and slow.

I absolutely understand why Bruce Lee's people were upset with his portrayal in the movie. It was completely out of character according to anyone that has ever given an account of Bruce. It wasn't meaningful to the movie, it was poorly done, and deserves the criticism it received.

Aside from a few movies (helped by great actors) Tarantino is mediocre. This movie was on par with that.

"I understand why this movie was not a huge box office smash. It's sophisticated, witty, and not an average cup of tea. Amsterdam is a little more complex and complicated than that. If you like your thrills quick and simple look somewhere else. Bale is perfect, so is Robbie. A luxurious musing on love, friendship, and honour with fantastic camera work and production design. The details are overwhelming. Take a deep breath, sit back, enjoy the ride. Also kudos to David O. Russell for bringing the Business Plot into the popular consciousness. If you look closely you'll see all the parallels with our present day. A wake up call to which everyone should pay attention.",10
"I am going to amend my review below, as I have had several days to mull over the tragic depth this to which awful movie has taken us. It might be clever 'Scorscese' film making, but really it is a horrible excessive movie about utter pigs. Yes I get the 'haha they are drug animals without consciousness' but really. Hasn't Marty just also steamrolled right over the line of what can be put on a mainstream movie. I think this film is filth. Just depravity and a sad new low to what can appear on a multiplex cinema screen. Leonardo is so well liked and to see Marty excess the reasonable acceptability by having this young man and all other actors just degrade themselves so they can appear in a 'Martin Scorscese film' ... well it is a hollow victory. THE WOLF OF WALL STREET is a degrading sad film made by an old man who likes to see good looking young people degrade themselves for his own gratification. He has insulted and degraded the entire film making system and those who participated in this ridiculous ugly mean film by being willing to undress and make ugly naked faces of themselves. It is horrible and a new low, the lowest since HOSTEL 2 in mainstream American movie making and nothing to admire or be proud of. I am sad for US film making and Scorscese needs to retire. It's grubby and Marty has grubbied young admirable talented Leonardo. Bad Bad and sad.

Martin Scorscese had outed himself as a defiler. A defiler and corrupter of youth.

My previous statement: Yes it is a very clever film, well edited acted and written. However like that 10th line of cocaine, by the third hour of WOLF OF WALL STREET there is an overdose imminent. Some films can be too clever for their own endurance test, and whilst there is much to guffaw at and much to be faux-shocked at, after 120 minutes and before 172 minutes I just became bored with the whole thing. Again we get the hyperactive Scorscese swooshing narrative and the pantomime of men-without-a-conscience and the terrible things they do to each other, their women and the audience. It is all colossal and then after it is over, I am glad I will never feel like watching any part of it ever again. Three hours without story suspense, a bit of character build, just episode after episode of CASINO/SCARFACE/NY blather, and yes we have seen it all before. How poor Thelma ever edited this bombastic overload of brute force money avalanche greed etc etc and not lost her mind having to watch it over and over and over again whilst tweaking it into its releasable shape, to me is another more interesting story deserving of an Oscar. I admired the production more than I liked the film.",5
"I made it two episodes in waiting for it to ""click"" and it just never did. The whole premise makes no sense and the world building is awful:

1. If 45 random kids were born in one day with no prior pregnancy, they and their mother's would all be found by Special Forces around the globe and put in Area 51 type bunkers, not have seven of them randomly purchased by a billionaire.

2. If said seven special kids were straight up murdering bank robbers and other criminals, again they would all be targeted as enemies of the state. What world is this where everyone is just so blase' about all this weird stuff happening. Unlike the worlds of Invincible, The Boys, or the Netflix Hero series (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, etc.), there is not enough supernatural stuff in the world building here to excuse how little people seem to care about the fact that seven kids with powers are out murdering people.

3. TIME TRAVEL NONSENSE. I'm just so done with shows adding time travel in, it never goes well. How did Time Travel boy arrive at the EXACT MOMENT that everything was destroyed? There are still fires where all the buildings were which means that he arrived literally right after the destruction happened...why would it be this exact time when the other times he was time traveling it was just at random periods of time with nothing special happening. Lazy writing.

4. Why is big boy on the moon and then just comes home for the funeral? It's not like he could take a jet back home, is space travel so trivial that he could come back home at a moments notice?

5. The comedy falls flat. The capt. Jack Sparrow on heroin character isn't funny, just really poor.

4/10. I really wanted to like this show, especially with affirming LGBTQIA+ characters, but it's really not that good.",4
"Was really looking forward to seeing this one. I felt the pacing of the film was very slow in places . Acting was of a high quality between the two leads. Some great set pieces that just about manage to keep this film interesting for me. In summary I would say it's just an average film, that I think the hype, made me expect a lot more from it.",6
"This movie is so weird that I'm out of words

"After the Spiderman element being lost in Sony movies , VENOM was an expected and interesting pick for a Spidey movie but to be straight the movie did not bring up the experience which we get from any Spiderman movie . The movie has it's own plot differing from any other movie and explores more about VENOM as an individual character cheers to that . But still with less entertaining action present in the movie The movie is definitely a let down to all marvel fans .",4
"The Matrix is terrible. A complete abomination. And the sequels are even worse. The only worse movie series is The Planet of the Apes. Your money would be much better spent buying a homeless person lunch.

Granted it seems mildly clever at first, but it is actually an underdeveloped story with a completely unsatisfactory resolution. Any comparison to Star Wars or the Lord of the Rings trilogy would an insult the clear superiority of Lucas or Jackson as both film makers and story tellers.

I hope the people that profited so greatly from this film can find a way to do something with that money that is socially responsible. Having said all of that, acting was actually OK, though.

And the only part of the story that makes the least bit of sense is that technology and artificial ""intelligence"" can be dangerous instead of helpful if abused.",2
"I didn't go to see this film because Keanu Reeves was in it,so I figured how good could it be? But then i started hearing what a good film it was,what great sci-fi,what great special effects. I still have flashbacks of Johnnie Mnemonic so I waited for the video. When I tried to rent it the day it was released both video stores I go to were out of it.I rented it three days later-thinking I must be wrong,this must be a good if not great sci fi movie.

I might have been a little more impressed with the special effects if they had not shown them before the movie started.The video actually shows how some of them were created.Bummer-I like to be surprised. But even if I had not seen this preview I would have still thought this was a so-so- movie. Keanu Reeves-what can I say--he looked good in this movie.He has better cheekbones than 90% of the models that strut their stuff down the runway-but God love him--he can't act worth squat!

Anybody who thinks this is another Blade Runner,or Dark City,forget about it. This could have been a contender,but it falls short in so many ways. The premise of the story is fascinating-people living in a dream universe created by computer,while in reality they are created and used as a source of energy to power the computers. This concept was not very fully explored and I found Morpheus""s (Lawrence Fishburne the leader of the rebels who knows the truth)explaination of the rules of the Matrix flawed. Instead a deep thought provoking movie,the premise demands-what we get is a shoot-em-up,and a Hollywood ending.

This movie was mildly entertaining,in spite of Keanu Reeves,but its not great sci-fi. I gave it a 4.",4
It was boring. Just random scenes put together. The only thing that kept it going was brad pitt. The rest just sucked.,3
"I have absolutely no prior knowledge of Moon Knight, I'd never heard of it until I saw it on Disney+ and decided to watch, so my review is based solely on the two episodes I've seen.

Firstly it's worth mentioning I'm not a big Marvel fan. My idea of a good superhero instalment would be 'The Boys' - which kind of pokes fun at the superhero franchise (100% recommend).

However I've really enjoyed this so far. Oscar Isaac nails his version of a bumbling British history nerd (voice not dissimilar to Lou, Andy Pipkins carer in Little Britain lol), who is living with two other personalities inside his head and who occasionally take 'control' of him.

Cool concept. Big budget. Interesting characters (well acted) so far. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.",8
"Black Panther is one of the most over-hyped disappointing movies of the year so far. Just like The Last Jedi this move flops in many key departments making Disney's cash cow a boring uninteresting standard run of the mill Marvel movie. Before I dive in there is some good things about this movie like the villian. Michael B Jordan does a wonderful job making his character, Erik Killmonger, a sympathetic villain and easily the best part of the movie. Anyways my first problem with movie are how generic just because it is about an Africa does not make it deep. The main character is really just your standard superhero there is not much to him which weighs down the movie since we spend most of our with him. Most of the side character are not fleshed out at all and really do not feel anything for them when they are in danger. Another bad thing is the action scenes they just look to fake. Whenever an action scene happens Black Panther is Cgied and so are most of the backgrounds making them really dull and not entertaining. The only good part of the film the villain is given little screen time when he is easily the best part of the film. Even though the movie does a good job fleshing out his motivations I wish he was given more screen time so we did not have to deal with the other characters. The movie also tries to weigh in on politics without doing anything thought provoking or powerful. This movie was very disappointing especially since the critics praised it so much.",3
"Production is mostly satisfying but the story doesnt flow at times especially in early episodes mostly because expositions are raw and character introductions seem random, not to mention a few generic dialogues. Pacing is all over the place. Too many elements of the universe is thrown at you in a bundle without much effort that tires and gets boring at times. Once you get past the introduction and advance into the story however, its not terrible. Could have been much better with a solid screenplay.",6
"Movie was nice and little different. You may get bored in some scenes, but overall you will enjoy it.",7
": I feel confused about this movie, probably like a lot of people, on one hand I laughed as I hadnt with a movie in a long time and the vibe this movie has is just very appealing, but on the other hand while not being an anti-men movie and actually trying to have a deep message, it feels at some parts like a tantrum. The way it handles its feminist message is not the best, because while it tries to give a meaningful speach, it almost boarders with hate speach and ridiculization, I say almost, because a lot of this situations are just played by the laughs and when theyre not, while being bad, theyre not terrible. But this makes it sound like a bad movie, which barbie is not, at the end it manages to actually give a meaningfull speech about the wrong in the real world and takes some minutes to understand both sides. It is still not the best ending possible because it can be a little too ridiculous, when you have a movie thats like that all the time I dont think it matters all that much. And at the end of the day I took home with me the minutes of laughter this movie gave to me, an enjoying fun time that is worth watching.",8
What's with all the stupid music playing constantly? what was the point of that? It was totally unnecessary.,5
"Karan Johar just keeps getting bolder as a director. The ambitious filmmaker who once debuted with a candy-floss romance like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai has ventured into issue-based films. It all started with his take on extra-martial relationships in his last film Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. This time, and probably for the first time, Karan's film isn't about romance. (Not the basic premise, however) MNIK is about a simple autistic man out to ""Repair"" the world.

The big question is, does Karan recreate the magic of his last films? For the most part, yes.

Rizwan Khan is an autistic man from India who comes to America to live with his brother after his mother's demise. Rizwan, who sees the world in either black or white, falls in love with a Hindu single-mother named Mandira. Against his brother's wishes, Rizwan marries Mandira and they are ready to start their happy life. However, the day that changed the world had come. 9/11 attacks occur which leads to the racial attack on Mandira's son. An outraged Mandira blames Rizwan's last name for the murder of her son and tells him in anger to go tell the world that he's not terrorist, tell the president he's not a terrorist. From then on starts Rizwan's journey of love, peace and realization.

MNIK is Karan Johar's strongest script, there is no doubt about it. The plot is linear and depends on defining moments in the script. The direction is compelling and the screenplay is engaging for the most part. The biggest plus of MNIK is Rizwan Khan, the character. One of the best written characters in Indian Cinema. Add to that, the production values, performances, music - the whole packaging is excellent.

Having said that, I do feel that MNIK is Karan's weakest film. (Yes, weaker than KANK) However, that isn't a bad thing since Johar has such a spectacular track record. Why I say this is because I feel the film drags in the second half more than it should. Also, the whole ""Hum honge Kamyaab"" and ""Momma Jenny"" scenes are cheesy at times. There is a scene that really angered me - it's a scene of an American teacher telling young children that all Muslims are terrorists. That is a horrible scene. I don't think that happened in most US schools during 9/11. I've grown up in the U.S. and it is much more tolerant than shown.

A significant highpoint is of course the chemistry of arguably the best on-screen couple of Indian Cinema. SRK and Kajol light up the screen as always.

There are some hair-raising moments in the film. Starting with SRK's first meeting with Kajol. One can't help but put a smile on. SRK in the mosque lashing out against a Muslim activist. The best scene, in my opinion, is when Rizwan goes to a church to have dinner with the president and is rejected. His response is applaud-worthy.

The writing is superb in the first half. As mentioned, second half could have been better. Dialogue is outstanding.

Shankar-Esaan-Loy's music is soothing and magical. Every song is terrific. Picturised well too.

Karan Johar's direction is in form, like always. It's a tough film to make and he's definitely outdone himself when it comes to executing scenes. It's a great achievement.

Kajol is looking like a million bucks. Her acting is no surprise, she never disappoints. Jimmy Shergill makes a strong presence.

MNIK belongs to Shah Rukh Khan more than anybody. Rizwan's innocence, honesty and sincerity is all thanks to SRK. Every expression, line, just mind blowing. SRK lives the role and gives a performance to remember. From the scene where he tells the church about his son to his expression when Kajol asks him to marry her. Every expression, big or small is flawless.

Overall, a film that has it's flaws here and there. Looking at the big picture, it's a film that's not afraid to be loud and clear about what it wants to say. It's surely worth a watch for brilliant moments, a great narrative and it's worth a second watch just for Rizwan Khan.",8
"This type of movie has just been done too many times and this time they make it gross as to how they switch bodies. It's by peeing in a public fountain.

So you have the married father of 3 responsible guy, Dave, whom switches bodies with his carefree rude best friend, Mitch. So they throw in some bad language, some boobs, and gross situations and you have a laughing riot of a time, right? Wrong, this was gross and the plot is just old to be funny to me. I mean, they have a baby squirting something into his dad's mouth. Plus babies playing with knives and electrical outlets.

FINAL VERDICT: This idea has been done too many times to bother watching again. Skip it.",5
"Ten years ago, we were introduced to a young boy who had extraordinary magical powers and his destiny was to destroy the one thing he feared the most – death. In 2001, Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone showed us what true friendship meant. In 2002, Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets showed us courage and bravery. In 2004, Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban showed us it takes faith to trust. In 2005, Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire showed us, not only skill, but a test of power. In 2007, Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix showed us to open our minds and to ""not to tell lies."" In 2009, Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince showed us not to linger too much on the past. But in 2010 and 2011, a duel to the finish will determine to have the ultimate power – the power of love.

Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows – Part 1 will leave a mark, not a physical mark, but a mark of urgency, a mark that is not seen – a mark to feel, a mark of love. I loved every aspect of this movie. I have to say a very BIG THANK YOU to the one person who poured blood, sweat & tears into every word written on the pages of magic – J.K. Rowling. Thank you for giving us 10 wonderful years of magic.

I give this movie a mere perfect score of 100 – for everything from the special effects to the incredible artistry to the breathtaking scenery. The 3 stars – Dan, Rupert & Emma – we will miss you and we look forward to upcoming projects from you. This movie met every expectation that I had from reading the book. To close, I am a firm believer in finding my true destiny and Harry Potter me find it.",10
"I was expecting more from a Ryan Reynolds movie... yea it was entertaining to a certain degree but the storytelling wasn't there and the humor missed the mark. I laughed out loud twice.. 1. Ron Funches (always hilarious) 2. Ryan's Scottish accent I also loved number 5 channeling Louise Belcher with her green dress and pink mask I know it was a big blockbuster movie and not a comedy, but there's still an expectation of snappy dialogue. All we got were some unfunny one liners and lots of pop culture references. It felt like they were thrown in because they couldn't think of anything else to say. I'm assuming there will be more of these movies, which I'm sure I'll watch lol",6
"I Simply have to give this movie some marks for its incredible special effects, i loved them, Now if they where in a good movie! Now there would be something worth watching

I Can name at least 5 movies i have seen in the past two weeks so far that are better than this, in fact i think i will;

Transformers Step Brothers Blue Harvest (although not entirely a movie but you get the idea) Benders Big Game Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Almost all of these movies are no where near in my top 10 favourite movies, but yet i would rather watch anyone 100 times than watch this piece of rubbish again.

I Had such high expectations for this film and everyone was talking about it, but wow did it suck, If it wasn't for the late Heath Ledgers amazing acting i would probably have cried nearing the end of this movie.

"I love the MCU. But this is the worst entry since the first two Thor movies. In trying to be so clever, it comes across as muddled and I worry that the MCU is now playing to the hardcore comic fans without mind to the casual fans who have been drawn in over the past decade.

I do think filming during Covid times had an impact, particularly on what would likely have been large fight scenes, but really there were episodes that added nothing to the story and simply wasted time. Disappointed to say the least.",5
"Besides the storyline, all other aspects in this movie including actings, cinematography are good.. but for all the hype I thought it has a clever storyline.. but its not.. the development of the story depends on one silly mistake.. which for me a sign of a weak plot..

How could the whole family which could not even fold the pizza boxes properly could suddenly be shown as so good in what they do? And if they are really that good how come they could not get proper jobs at other places all these while?

And does the movie tries to tell us how selfish the rich people are and we should be emphatic to the poor?.. I did not get that at all.. its just a simple message that if you're a bad person, you're a bad person no matter whether you're rich or poor.. because its so obvious kim's family are greedy, selfish immoral people too..",5
"The family casting was well done for this title, and when they had screen time, it was well done. The viewer just doesn't get enough of the characters to attach or root for one over the other. The production value is high, wonderfully done settings and atmosphere, however there was a lack of use for the exterior of the grounds to really set the mood. This wasn't a comedy, or drama, or mystery, it was just a blandly told story. If you are in the mood for a romp of a good time reflective of the older styled who done it films, pass on this one. In the end, this cast and story had so much potential to make a great little movie, it just missed the mark.",4
Engaging cast but can't save a terrible boring film - don't waste your time.,1
This I'm afraid is complete rubbish. Incoherent with 2 actors spouting rubbish at eachother and painful to look at. Its beyond comprehension why the reviews are so good. The location is completely wasted. Actually had to switch this off for a while before finishing it.,4
"It hardly rises to the level of modern classic like some people reviewing seem to think it is and its all a bit ""meh"" really but in overall it just about rises to the levels of OK. I've given in 6 but its a 6.5 really in my book, its not terrible and it rolls along at a frantic pace with many, many references to my youth which brought back lots of memories. The acting is pretty mediocre, although I wasn't over keen on the lead character - the script is OK and the CGI is OK as well - worth a watch if you are looking to kill a few hours and enjoy a bit of nostaligia now and again.",6
"Ok right to the point, Anya Taylor is beyond bad and weak acting is the black hole of the entire movie. If that is humanly possible to be worse than Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Aniston or , it would be hands down Anya Taylor-Joy. Hard to believe any actress can be this bad!

Nicholas Hoult very bad acting is making the entire production even less watchable.

Ralph Fiennes is as good as he can be to counter balance the ""monumental bad"" that Anya brings to the set and Nicholas makes it even worse!

Directing is subpar. If director was half good, better casting should have been done! If director was minimally smart. Would NOT cast Anya never ever again.",3
"Uri: The Surgical Strike is a film with patriotism. Movie dialogs are fantastic. In a dialogue, Vihan shouted, ""They want Kashmir and we are their heads."" Uri is a descent movie. The action sequences of the movie have become strong. Apart from firing, action of kick-bribe has also been shown in the movie. Vicky skill has done a great job in the action sequence. Actor has done a great job in every scene. His hard work for the film seems obvious. Nothing much happened in the account of Kirti Kulhari in the film Pink. Yami Gautam's work is good. TV actor Mohit Raina has also done a good job. The film has managed to keep till the end.",9
"My Personal Rating - 9.2/10

The cinematography, the acting, the atmosphere and the writing. And the depiction of the 1980's Soviet Era world. All are so brilliantly executed. My most favorite is the last episode where i had chills down my spine all the way through. Definitely recommended for people who are really interested to the Chernobyl Incident. And you know what? Even for people who aren't. Because this TV Show would make them interested to the topic itself.

A very good relief from my huge disappointment from Game of Thrones Finale indeed. I honestly wanted more. But then i realized the way they ended it is just brilliant and very memorable. I'd rather have that instead. I want more Mini Series from the writers and directors of this show.

Pros:



Cons:

To be honest so far in my own opinion. Probably none. But maybe i can add in the way that it's boring for some people who are getting bored easily by a cinematography that focuses on immersion and atmosphere and well detailed explanation dialogues of something complicated. Definitely not the case for me and most people here though.

Rating On Each Aspect",9
"This one actually starts better than Game of thrones.

Fantasy wise it is not as magical , cause Game of thrones had that mystery all around.. But this one has more dragons and it's faster... And don't get me started with Daemon & Rhaenera! The chemistry! DAEMON DAEMON DAEMON! This guy literally owns this show. Matt Smith was absolutely perfect choice for this character. He is the bad guy we all love! I am sad they're changing actress for Rhaenera. I liked this young lady and she was bad ass! They should have kept her. But Maybe I fall for the new one as well! (Please let it be so). Anyway, effects are a bit weaker than in Game of thrones. That was probably the highest level of effects ever on fantasy series. But it is very interesting. I am looking forward to see more! So far it's an 8 from me! 😊",7
"Cant really critique the show too much, as it is designed for children...however why do all the 'children' characters act like spoiled university students?

So so so many political statements and agendas thrown in from the very beginning. You know its going to be one of THOSE shows...and it doesnt disappoint throwing out the latest political slogans and dog whistles for that particular party.

Plenty of unfunny 1000IQ-look-me-smart-use-big-words comedy, its facepalm after cringe after facepalm for most of the humour.

As usual the only saving grace are the technical aspects, because hey its hard to politicise wardrobe...oh wait they did that too!

If youre the type of person who enjoys a 'netflix comedy', then youll no doubt 10 star this eyeroll, but everyone else dont even waste your time with a stream.",4
"It lacked so much emotion.

There was no emotion in the animation, no emotion in the voice acting. Aside from Mr Jones himself, the rest lacked the range to driver this classic home.

There were times when I thought the camera angles could have lingered on a little longer, like for instant the stampede scene, when the angle descends from the top of the sloap and the music rises, it felt like a ride you go up the hill anticipating a deep fall but nothing happens, they didn't drive it home.

The shot of Simba's paw swallowed by Mufas's the creaters could have captured the moment to really drive forward the immense overwhelm Sima was feeling but didn't.

Even when Mufas comes to rescue Simba at the elephant graveyard, there was no terror, no fear, no remorse in the cubs faces. And later, no gratitude.

Furthermore, Timone and Pumba was totally ruined, it felt like most of their dialogue was adlibed and poorly.

For me, they couldn't shine a light to the original. The song Can you feel the love tonight was over song.

It was good for nostalgia but it was very disappointing re Encounter.",3
"I finished watching bird box and I just felt like I've seen it before. Tired story, parellels between the quiet place and the happening. It's not scary, it's not interesting and it has so been do e before. Saying that it was filmed well and for once I didn't want to punch Sandra Bullock in the face.",3
"Somewhat formulaic , Actors going through the motions but that's all Edgerton is usually a bit too wooden for his roles (Bryan Brown ..Australian ?) . Yes , she was a bit too ""thick"" to be seen as a top ballerina . Violence and some sex overdone . Always get suspicious when this happens as to make up for something ..? More believable acting needed .Leading characters love chemistry not there . Maybe supporting actors better than main ..Good to bring Jeremy and Charlotte out of their nursing homes !",4
"The first season was an interesting story of social bonds breaking and forming and breaking again. A youthful wandering mess that displayed struggles between codependency and personal autonomy.

The second season used irony and a fractured swaying depiction of optimism versus pessimism as both perspectives are forced to face the wonder and brutality of reality. A slow dirge in memoriam to the lost youth of the first season.",9
"I didn't expect such Superhero Origin movie with Sarcastic jokes from the DC Universe. I know it's because there is a teenager boy in a superhuman's body, but it's DC !! DC isn't supposed to be like this. It's supposed to be DARK !! But it's overall good because it has some exciting scenes.",6
"The movie is handsomely filmed and has all sorts of clever special effects but the story line was totally incoherent to me. RDJ's Holmes looks like he has not only shaved in days but he hasn't bathed in days, either. Jude Law's Dr. Watson looks equally scruffy. Didn't anyone shave in the 1890s? There's a lot of bantering between Holmes and Watson which is entertaining but very little of the deductive reasoning that was the core of every Holmes story. And yes, in the books Holmes did know some sort of Asian martial arts but these new movies make him into a martial arts expert an a par with Bruce Lee. It's so incongruous to the rest of the story and the setting as to be very distracting.",3
"The movie is up for Hollywood standard storytelling. Sleek with no nonsense or songs. SRK performance or Vfx or action seems, all were nicely done. There is not a moment in the movie that makes me feel dull. Great movie!...",8

3 hours of crap. One guy says time is not linear and damn! Quantum physics solved.,2
"MARGIN CALL's J.C Chandor continues to prove how masterful he is at balancing understated boldness with restrained menace in his latest film A MOST VIOLENT YEAR. The film's metaphoric contradictions will have you transfixed from the get go: attentively attuned to the thrilling, fast-paced action one second and then… BAM! You're frustrated beyond belief because the pace of this gripping film is so sluggishly steady it'll have you begging the screen 'C'mon – give me something'! It's THE GODFATHER in warm yellow tones, but not. It's about principled capitalism, unscrupulous greed, and veiled menace but it's also about family and respect. It's beautifully drab and uncomplicatedly shot. It's a most 'emotionally' violent year indeed.

It's 1981 and New York is in the midst of one of the most violent and deadly crime waves in its history: murders and assaults are reported upon in every broadcast, corruption is rife, and businesses are at risk, testing the fortitude of the city's businessmen including Standard Heating Oil owner Abel Morales (Isaac).

An honourable immigrant who worked his way up through the company before taking over the business from his father-in-law, Morales thought he was living the American dream: his business is doing well despite the city's hardships, their family recently moved into a new palatial home, and he successfully negotiated the purchase of a prime port property that will secure the business' future and its domination of the market. With contracts signed and deposits paid, Morales has 30 days in which to secure enough investor funding to pay the balance in full and close the transaction, otherwise he (and the business) will go broke.

The story follows Morales and his wife Anna (Chastain) as they take steps to secure investment funding and save their business. Their gamble begins to unravel when Morales and his lawyer Andrew (Brooks) approach the D.A. (Oyelowo) and ask for help in regards to the violent hijackings of their trucks and assaults on their employees. Instead of providing assistance, the D.A. informs Morales that he and Standard Heating Oil are under investigation for fraudulent practices and that an indictment is imminent within days. Shortly after the indictments are served, the bank loses faith and subsequently reneges on their agreement to finance the deal. In addition, one or more of his competitors continue to intimidate and scare his drivers and hijack their fuel trucks at gunpoint. As the time frame narrows down to mere days, Morales is forced to weigh the morality of continuing to run 'a fair and clean business' against his single-minded determination for success. 'If I were you, I'd treat us with a little more respect, or I guarantee, he will make it his mission in life to ruin you' Anna tells the D.A. as the Police search their house.

The dynamic between Isaac and Chastain as they confide and ally with each another on screen is intense and mesmerising to watch. Isaac, with his perfectly coiffed hair and serious businessman attire, is arresting as he skulks around the city determined to hold on to his American Dream ideology whilst Chastain, the ball-busting mobsters daughter, commandeers their shadowy world 'doing the things Abel didn't want to know about' ruthlessly. His ying to her bang.

Chandor's exceptional film is a tightly wound coil, tensioned to pop but doggedly determined to never get there.

Go see it! It's frustratingly good, and sometimes, just plain frustrating. Dammit, now I'm frustrated.

"As a Witcher fan . I've Seen 3 episodes but I was expecting more! I cant connect to the Story and Characters yet, exept Geralt of course.",7
Really good first half. Dreadful second half. Really boring. About 50% as good as infinity war. Very disappointing,4
"This movie suffers from one main problem, and that is a lack of variety.

The same pattern repeats for the entire movie:

1. Tense silence as if something bad is going to happen soon 2. The soldiers arm themselves with guns and act all menacing to intimidate and scare the locals 3. They find bombs hidden somewhere 4. Someone deactivates the bombs

Sometimes a bomb detonates or a few people get shot.

Basically what you expect this movie to be is exactly what it is. There are no surprises. Nothing really stands out. It's war, weapons and violence with a bit of camaraderie between the soldiers to remind us of the humanity of war.

The locals in Iraq are treated like animals that need to be herded instead of people with souls. Except that one kid because he was young and cute.

Watching this was not enjoyable.",4
"If you've read the books, and/or played the game,(as I have) please spare yourself of this monstrosity. The spirit and the lore from the books have been; butchered, minced, fried, consumed and the result was excreted for the viewers. I've cringed throughout the first three episodes and decided I've had enough, it actually made me feel ill. It is bad on so many levels: script, acting, costumes, CGI, casting, scenography... Political correctness/Woke hammered the last nail into the Witcher's coffin. Golden Raspberry in ALL categories.",1
"I went into watching this, expecting something enjoyable but was I so wrong. It tried to be funny but was oh so stupid and amateurish with a poor storyline. I rarely give bad ratings but this deserves to be near the bottom. There are so many better sci-fi shows and comedies on so you are betting enjoying the experience with those.",2
"Seasons 1 and 2 are both really good, I rate them a 8/10 because of their production and storyline, But season 3 is terrible. The production is awful from start to finish and the storyline drops off after episode 5. Also, the character ""Victor"" is clearly not scripted and it is super awkward the entire time.",5
"This movie is so good on all fronts that it will make you cry and help you understand the lives and challenges of defense personnel. No scene in the movie seems to slow down the pace. Very well directed, amazing acting and high JOSH. CHEERS",10
This is probably the best movie of the DCEU wich isn't saying much. The story is not that interesting. But the worst is the CGI. The CGI is just awful that it will just drag you out of the movie. The villain is disappointing and not interesting and he is CGI so...,5
"I understand the positive reviews, I really do. The story is non conventional, based on real events that lack the serendipity and skill of movie events. The actors, some of my favorites are in it, play very well. The mix of dread, disgust, contempt and amusement has a nice flavour, too. But the film is too real, too mundane and ultimately totally boring. It's like a heist movie done by idiots, but dangerous idiots at that.

Bottom line: I really wanted to like this film, because they just released a series based on it. However, after watching it, I can't bring myself to view the series. The average grade that I give this film doesn't mean that I am indifferent to it, just that it kind of hits mediocrity, but that only because I average good acting and intriguing potential with my feeling of utter boredom after watching it.",7
"Being a Netflix production, I did not have high expectations due to their track record for feature films. Luckily, I enjoyed it for the most part. I have read other reviews comparing it to ""The Quiet Place"" with similarities being that of the sensory, don't make a sound; don't look at anything.

Budgetary wise they are similar too, $17 million and $19.8 million for ""Bird Box"". I think the main difference would be in the casting, score, director, etc. Some familiar names were in the cast other than lead, Sandra Bullock. John Malkovich, Sarah Paulson, etc.

Comparsions aside, I enjoyed the simple storytelling in contrast with the ambiguious nature of the narrative. Not mind blowing, but watchable nevertheless.",7
"A movie well made to present 80% of India.

The reality is presented without using any abusive words in order to reach among all kind of audiences. A film must watch to understand India and their problems.

It not only presents the problem a person is going through in daily life but also provide lessons to others that how to enjoy & cherish life every small moments. Its inspiring and emotional.

Thanks for showing difficulties an uneducated person face to just create a simple government documents. But also presents that if you want something in life then your efforts will bring it to you.

Such movies are a big challenge to make knowing that it will rarely make big business because we as an audience prefer to watch masala big star movies with no sense.

A salute to the makers and actors.

A Must watch!",9
"Masoom, like very few indian movies, is an excellent movie with a very good story. It proves that the story alone is the single most important aspect of filmmaking. A very well written script and some basic direction. Full credits to the scriptwriter!!!",10
"This film proves the old adage that 'you can't please everyone' - not even everywhere and all at once. A mash up of Matrix/Parasite/and any Jackie Chan movie you care to name, this film simply doesn't work. It starts reasonably well, however, and in the first 30 minutes shows great promise. But then it degenerates into a farcical parade of kung-fu style dance routines that are not only boring but incredibly poorly choreographed. The premise of the film - some sort of interdimensional slippage brought on by stress and self-worth (or the lack of it) - as only explained in the most convoluted and bizarre way that one can only assume it is because the writers don't really want the viewer to know what's going on (clever eh? Not!). The Jackie Chan throw away comedy is laughable in its obviousness and the sight gags are childish to say the least. The acting is pretty good but then, what ARE they acting? No-one knows, least of all it seems the writers and the director! I suspect this film is doing well at the awards simply because, like the emperor's clothing, no-one in the 'arts' world is game enough to say they didn't get it (to admit, if you like, that they are not clever enough to divine this film's 'deep and meaningful message'. Well, folks, the joke's on them because there simply isn't one. This is a self-indulgent film editor's wet dream masquerading as something profound. In short, not worth the 2 hours invested in watching it.",3
"Ani what an unnecessary character, please cancel that show, with season 1 it was enough.",1
"Jodha Akbar - Ashutosh proves himself once again with his New Age Epic and gives a new dimension to the word 'GRANDEUR' in Indian Cinema. The very first thing I suggest is that don't consider it as an Historical movie, rather see it as a fiction and keep aside all the controversies related with Jodha, her actual name and her relationship with Akbar. The second thing I would like to say that as most of the people took it as a miscast movie, ""its not"". The casting is just perfect and after watching it you cannot consider any other actor portraying the role of Akbar among the young generation so brilliantly except Hrithik.

Hrithik is again at his best and has done full justice with his character. Especially he is incomparable in the scenes where he shows his anger. Equally impressive is Aishwarya as Jodha and she provides all the dignity and beauty needed by her character. Here I would like to add that the promos of the film are only 10% of its actual worth, so don't be mislead by them. It is purely a love story in the background of ruling Mughals & their conflicts with Rajputs.

There are many scenes which are among the main highlights of the film which include : 1. Hrithik taming a Wild Elephant. 2. Sufi Dance by Hrithik in the song ""Khwaja Mere Khwaja."" 3. Bhajan Chanting being heard in a Mughal Emperor's Darbar. 4. The Sequence of Akbar Jodha with Sindoor. 5. Death Sentence to Adam (Akbar's cousin brother) 6. And the Man to Man fight sequence in the Climax.

The movie starts slowly and is less impressive at the start. It starts picking up after 40 min and then keeps growing on the viewer. By the time it ends you don't seem to mind its more than 3 hours duration, but still it could be trimmed at the start and also could do without a couple of songs. The second half is surely more engrossing than the first.

A. R. Rahman is excellent with his background score but is less impressive in the song department with only two enjoyable tracks ""Azeemo-Shan Shehenshah"" and ""Khwaja Mere Khwaja"". The Sufi Qawwali has got a mystic touch given by the maestro which takes you to a trance. Moreover, you feel heavy influence of western instruments in the score whereas the film is a period drama. So they could have been replaced by ethnic Indian instruments according to the time period of the story. The Camera-work and Art Direction are among the best and they impress to a great extent.

The entire star cast excels and after the lead pair, among the top are Sonu Sood & Nikitin Dheer . The surprise act is by Mrs. Poonam Sinha as Akbar's mother. The voice over of Amitabh Bachhan is also just apt for the grand project. Hrithik seems to be born for the role and Aishwarya looks as an eternal beauty with her majestically designed costumes and jewellery.

Ashutosh Gowariker makes a statement with this project and proves that he has got the vision to think of Hrithik as Akbar and also the capability of making an Epic movie with this grandeur. He also takes utmost care of the Hindu Muslim thought involved in the story. Still the Hinduism factor is somehow given more mileage in the movie. The climax sequences with endless plains and desert in the background reminded me of ""Lawrence of Arabia"" which is indeed a compliment for Ashutosh and his team.

To sum up, it's a movie to be enjoyed in its grandness on theaters only and for the brilliant performances of Hrithik and Aishwarya. This kind of a grand movie will not be there in many coming years, so don't waste the opportunity by watching it on small screens. And also don't miss it just taking it as a historical movie, there may be mixed reviews but you will surely enjoy it.",8
"""Every human being is a puzzle of need. Learn how to be the missing piece, and they will give you everything."" Thus begins the undercover life of a former ballet dancer turned reluctant Russian agent, dumped by her influential uncle into a vicious and cutthroat spy facility, debased in training there, and dropped into the middle of a succeed-or-die espionage entanglement involving a Russian mole and the American CIA.

I almost didn't watch this because of the negative reviews here. It's clear to me now that they were either written by people with ulterior motives or by people who are squeamish when it comes to the kind of violence, danger, language, and sexuality potentially involved when navigating the highest levels of international espionage.

Terrific story with twists, turns, betrayals, torture, and resilience at almost every turn. Jennifer Lawrence is incredible, the supporting cast is terrific, and the story is tight and intricate. A superb ending rewards those who lived on the edge of their seats for much of the 2:20 runtime, and if you found you needed to rewatch the shocking last 10:00, so did I.

Is it brutal and shocking? Absolutely. Is it for everyone? Absolutely not. But this is a thrilling spy story told with ""no holds barred"" and if that's in your wheelhouse, you need to see this. A solid and surprising 9.",9
"The 'sequel' to Knives Out. Although I use that loosely as each film is billed as unique and independent of one another. Director and self professed Agatha Christie super fan, Rian Johnson was upset that 'A Knives Out Mystery' had to be included in the title.

First things first, I enjoyed Glass Onion but not as much as the first one which was excellent.

Johnson tells a story which is a metaphorical glass onion which means on the outside it has a lot of layers but at its core it's very simple and straightforward. This is both a positive and a negative in terms of the overall outcome of this film.

The film at times is very simple. There characters can also appear generic,simple and at times over the top which makes them feel a like caricatures but this is the point of the film as their is a strong socio-political message running through it. The actors do a brilliant job of portraying their individual characters.

To add layers, the film spends a long time (probably too long) building us up to the murder mystery. This means each character is given air time or better yet the film takes times to show us some of the failings of the individuals gathered on the luxury island in Greece.

Once the mystery kicks off, it's an enjoyable non linear unravelling of the events. As the film was released on Netflix it's easy to pause and/or to unravel part of the mystery really early. Despite that I still enjoyed the layers being peeled back to understand exactly how we got to where we were.

The final action piece was slightly over the top and could have been done differently but ultimately the film worked. That's in part due to the strong message regarding celebrities, influencers and successful individuals in the public eye.

John expertly gives us clues about this message from the beginning to the film to the very end and it all fits within the Glass Onion theme.

An Enjoyable watch although it feels a bit silly and satire like at times. I look forward to seeing Benoit Blanc return.",7
"Granted, I can't claim to hold much of any particular interest in the superhero genre, yet I have seen almost every single one put out there so far. Why? Well, because I enjoy watching movies and given the chance, then I will definitely watch a movie or at least give it a chance.

Turns out that ""Shazam!"" was actually entertaining, well at least for what it turned out to be. It wasn't a superhero movie that took itself all that seriously. But then again, I am not familiar with ""Shazam!"" or the tone used in the comic books. But for me, as being unfamiliar with it, then it was adequate entertainment to watch a boy turn into a grown up and gain super powers at the blink of an eye.

It was nice to see a superhero movie that didn't turn dark and brooding, like the Marvel movies have a tendency of doing. ""Shazam!"" was what it was, a superhero movie mixed with some comedy.

The acting in the movie was good, and I think that Zachary Levi, playing Shazam, actually carried the movie well with his charming appearance and his demeanor. He definitely made the movie more enjoyable for me. I've always thought that Mark Strong was a good actor, and he was quite nicely cast for the villainous role in the movie.

As for the special effects, yeah, it is a superhero movie after all, so of course it is going to need special effects. And yes, the CGI and special effects people definitely delivered something that was quite pleasing for the eyes. I liked what I saw here.

The combination of comedy and action superhero genre was actually working well in favor for ""Shazam!"" and if most definitely made it more bearable and enjoyable for me to sit through a superhero movie.

So after the movie ended, is ""Shazam"" a superhero that I want to watch in more movies? Well, not particularly no. He was fun for what it was, and that was about it. But I can't really imagine a whole series of movies with this character.

Definitely a watchable superhero movie, but not a particularly outstanding one.",6
"The cast was great so I figured this would be just as good as its predecessor. However, this was nothing like the first one! It felt so SciFi instead of a murder mystery that it didn't seem like it should have been in the same universe as the first movie, but an entirely different movie. I may have liked it better had they done it that way. The first one had a creepy vintage vibe that made it interesting. It also seemed like the detective also didn't take himself seriously during this movie, which I also didn't like. It's not terrible, just a step in the wrong direction from the first movie. I wouldn't watch it again.",6
"It's as if Oliver Stone took an Ambien and tried to make a Scorsese film. Irishman is an unnecessarily long, fantastical farce that has been wrongly casted. Pacino has his moments early on as Hoffa, and by early I mean an hour into it. He shines, but then turns into Pacino later on. Apart from the book the film was adapted from, there was little to no further research on the era, locations, even proper pronunciations. Everyone sounds like they're from New York. The CGI de-aging failed to account for turkey necks and old man postures. Overall, this film is lazy, cinematic sentimental hogwash. But the Scorcese fanboys will disagree vehemently. He is, after all, their pope.",5
"Hmmmm.......what a curious trail of vitriol dripping through the trail of most of the reviews for this movie. And apologies if most of those reviews were genuine. I was happily hurled about the twists and turns of this well-filmed spy thriller. Yes, there's violence and nudity, but it all served to raise the stakes in the deadly game in which the stunning Jennifer Lawrence's character finds herself. The accents choice didn't bother me, it seemed quite appropriate for a film which achieves its aim of being a thriller with some depth (and not a deep political drama....which it is not.) It was easily a 7.5 movie......for me.",7

Hemsworth is good in what had to be a very physical role. Now we come to the necessary midpoint of the movie, some you see it coming moments etc. and necessary character bio...but when the action starts back up it turns into what a Ramboesque action scene from the 80's standard fare, slo mo the whole bit. Its like they changed crews in the middle of filming. I'm assuming these Netflix fliks don't go through test audiences and so forth, but I find that the second half of most of their movies disappoint.",7

"Neil Gaiman's talent is always undercut by his dated pandering to women. He's not as funny as Douglas Adams or as provocative as Garth Ennis. Gaiman is the prototype for hacky writers like Joss Whedon. For instance the casting to this show is so painful. Giving the narrator, Yahweh, a woman's voice is so cheesy. Traditionally the earth is a woman and the sky is a man but instead we get a M. Night Shyamalan twist that falls flat. Dialogue is suppose to be revealing but feels forced, unnatural, and revisionist. Like he's one sentence way from saying ""lets see the men have the babies amiright???"" When we get a break from the quasi-feminist nonsense the show is kind of charming.",5
"If you don't know what ""glass onion"" means, I suggest not looking it up until after you watch the film. People should manage expectations when watching a film with that title. Perhaps it's not exactly what you wanted, but it was still a beautifully executed film. They played to the theme perfectly. So, anyone disappointed this film was a ""glass onion"".. I mean, it's literally in the title guys, lol. It's a good movie, with good actors, that stayed on theme. Although, not exactly what some may have expected from the first film. I think a lot of good movies get lower ratings because of people's misjudged expectations. It wasn't perfect. But a good movie I would watch again. And, I hope to see a 3rd one, too.

Overall, the plot was a ""glass onion"" to a tee. I am pretty positive that is exactly what they were going for.",9
The acting in this show is good but I must honestly say I really don't like the content. AS someone with severe depression this show is very triggering not only because of the way it is explicitly about suicide but the glorifying of it. This leads people like me to start thinking about how easy it would be to leave as we could just leave something like a pile of tapes to blame other people when it's really our decision. My depression really kicked off when I had some long term friendship issues with some girls and that still continue now. It's often easy for me to blame people but I have to go back and think about how if I do something like that to myself it's on me. This also portrays as having the ability to speak and call people out when you were gone which isn't a reality.,2
"Absolutely zero character build-up , zero script, super predictable, boring and totally ridiculous. The movie felt that it was on a hurry, with forced and super convenient circumstances. Screentime was really short so I don't know which one to blame, the producers or the director.

It seems that their only target was to deliver some cheesy jokes. It was a huge mess -- I really feel sorry for Woody Harelson who I honestly think he could play a terrific Cletous Cassidy if anyone cared to write a decent script.",1
"It's a good thriller - new and unusual take on the end of human kind.

It doesn't deserve the negative comments, it's good, not great - but I enjoyed it.",7
"Being a well-known/successful brand is often a double-edged sword - it commands a premium price in the market but it is also subjected to a higher expectation from the public. Same notion is valid even in the field of entertainment. If a movie is released by a well-known studio or an actor, there is a standard that it is expected to meet. Thus, when Chris Hemsworth partnered with Netflix to release Extraction on April 24th, there was a certain expectation from this film & I think it's fair to say that it fell short.

Extraction is an action-drama set in Bangladesh in which Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth), who plays the role of a courageous mercenary, is hired for a perilous extraction in which he has to rescue the kidnapped son of Ovi Mahajan Sr (Pankaj Tripathi), an international criminal. Things start to take a wrong turn for Rake when there is a glitch in the plan and he is left stranded with Ovi Mahajan (Rudhraksh Jaiswal) after rescuing him from the kidnappers. What follows is a 60-minute non-stop action drama following Rake's journey to rescue Mahajan with the help of Saju (Randeep Hooda).

Be it Billy Lee in 'Bad Times at the El Royale' or Captain Mitch Nelson in '12 Strong', Chris Hemsworth is one of the few actors who has been able to continuously deliver notable performances outside of Marvel Studios. His performance in Extraction is one of such notable instances. Hemsworth is also supported well by Jaiswal who, despite being only 3 films old, looks completely in his element while sharing the screen with the mighty Thor. Hooda also delivers a convincing performance as an alibi of Tripathi and risks his life for the safety of Mahajan. For all Stranger Things fans, you also see a nice little cameo by David Harbour as Gaspar.

Extraction is the testimony of Hemsworth's effort to keep growing as a filmmaker as this feature marks his debut as a producer in films. Speaking of debut, Extraction is also the directorial debut of Sam Hargrave, who is known for his stunts in Avengers: Endgame, Avengers: Infinity War, Deadpool 2, and many other action movies. One could see Hargave's signature all over this movie with dangerously yet immaculately performed stunts - especially in one action sequence that goes on for 11 minutes in which Rake is trying to save Mahajan from the cops and Saju. Hargrave mentioned in his interview that it took him 5 months to create that scene and 10 days to shoot it. Hargrave also clarified that although it looks like a one-long scene from a naked eye, it is actually a compilation of many scenes digitally plastered together.

Although the acting, cinematography, production design and stunts are good in this movie, the script doesn't do justice. There are several sub-plots in the movie that are left undiscovered and even the ending demands a little more clarification. Because of its starcast and the current 'stay-at-home' order, this movie will garner more eyeballs than it would have otherwise. But if you are busy pursuing a hobby or have limited disposable time for watching content, you can give this movie a pass.",6
"When Netflix shared that they were creating series based on The Defenders many were skeptical. The MCU movies had shown that super hero movies can be great but no show had been able to entertain the masses.

Daredevil took another direction than the MCU and gave us a gritty, dark theme situated in Hell's Kitchen. It gave many something that they were looking for a series clearly made for the adult audience.

Charlie Cox' amazing acting is the cherry on top of the cake. It's rare to see someone act out blindness in such amazing way in the role off Mathew Murdock, but still being able to come off as a believable hero as Daredevil. The chemistry with Deborah Ann Woll the actress that plays Karen Page is immaculate and the interaction with Foggy played by Franklin Nelson takes the edge off when going gets rough.

The fact the the series was shot mostly on RED cameras also shows. Night time scenes are absolutely stunning and the compositions are near perfect.

As a super hero series, fights are also in an important part and they do deliver. You can also see some subtle and not so subtle nods towards some classic fighting scenes from other movies.",8
"I really don't get it. For me: This show was so boring. Lousy animations, dumb stories... eeww... no. I watched all of them always hoping for a good episode, that really could entertain me, but this show was just a filler to keep the masses happy... somehow.

I, personally, was so disappointed.",4
"Started off slow, but has gotten better with every episode. One consistence problem- Decourcy Ward is in bed reading Toni Morrison's ""Jazz"". The show is set in the 90's. ""Jazz"" was published in 2004.",8
"This movie really leads you to believe that its going to be exciting, intriguing and thrilling. Instead, you may come out of it feeling like you yourself have had a magic trick played on you.

The characters are cocky and annoying. Its hard to develop any sort of connection with them. All the magic tricks and illusions are very unrealistic. The ""romantic"" element of the story is incredibly forced; almost thrown in at the last moment because the producers were like ""oh ya! we forgot to add the romance"".

There's nothing subtle about the tone of the movie. You're constantly reminded that there is a mysterious element that you are not seeing. And when it is finally revealed at the end, there is hardly any surprise at all.

Worst of all, there are too many things that happen in the movie inexplicably. You find yourself waiting for information that never comes. Questions are posed that leave you wondering why something happened, but then they're just abandoned and never reexamined.

This movie made me angry. I felt like it was condescending to me the entire time. Fast talking ""quick witted"" characters using dialogue spoken so fast with convoluted vocabulary, camera shots that were shaky and always moving. It was trying to confuse me with smoke and mirrors to make me think that it was exciting, intriguing and thrilling, but realistically it was not.",3
"As a non-fan of Wes Anderson, this is easily his most accessible and/or enjoyable film to date. It's not a masterpiece or anything, but it's a fun film (something I can't say about the rest of his movies).

Although I don't like his technique of cinematography - static or dolly camera, always symmetric and in straight angles or quick pan/tilt - it's rather OK in this film (but still very distracting). Same goes for the 1.33:1 aspect ratio (and other numerous aspect ratios and framings during the beginning of the movie).

There are so many guest appearances by great actors, that it makes the movie even more fun to watch.

Good production design and film locations, pretty quick pacing (after a slow start) and fun movie to watch.

The makeup on Tilda Swinton is fantastic.",5
"This was the tv show I was most looking forward to from Marvel. I loved the Bucky and Sam dynamic, and Sam used to be my fourth favorite character in the MCU. I expected this to be a sitcom, which I guess led to me disliking it as much as I did, but it really should have been a true dramedy instead of a drama show. It should have followed the precedent that the MCU had set of an even balance of lightheartedness and seriousness, especially since Bucky and Sam's dynamic lends itself to comedy.

Not to mention I was really sick of the politics and race stuff. If I'm going into it and expecting that, then fine. But it really wasn't necessary for this show. I was so bored and I hated it so much. Sam was a great supporting character before this show and I sincerely loved him until this show. The race politics felt forced the entire time - enough people wanted Sam to be the next Cap that he did end up becoming Cap. I used to be one of those people but now, I just...I wish there wasn't a Cap replacement. And then there was Karli and I cannot put into words how much I hated her. She was supposed to be sympathetic but there was really no good reason for me to sympathize with her or like her. She wasn't compelling, nor were any of the other Flag Smashers. Literally the only reason I watched this show all the way through was Zemo. I pray to God this show isn't necessary for the understanding of the MCU from this point forward because I will not watch this show any more.

Again, keep in mind, I was looking forward to this show more than any other. Had it not been for Hawkeye, I would have given up on the MCU altogether. It should have been a sitcom.",1
"A post-apocalyptic thriller in the vein of A Quiet Place. There are plenty of differences that makes this movie worth watching but has a hard time giving the viewer a surprising or new experience. As I was watching I was able to predict some things that happened, and a twist that should have been shocking ends up being the weakest part of the movie. The movie is at its best when the tension from the mysterious creatures is heightened in small places. When there are too many characters on screen you don't feel the urgency or connect with the characters that may not make it. Sandra Bullock gives another great performance and I can't wait to see Trevante Rhodes in more movies, he really left an impact on the story. Overall a nice watch on Netflix when it comes out, with some great tension, and a nice arc of Sandra Bullock's character.

just as an FYI - I did see this at the World Premiere at AFI Fest with the whole cast and director in person. so I did see it in a theatre and I am so glad I did! Definitely worth watching on Netflix too.",6
"First season of this show was 7/10, but all the main characters are completely not well written. I personally hate Hannah's characters, and also Clay.",6
"The acting was okay, special effects good, but plot was terrible. Juvenile and so politically correct it lost all meaning. The show lacks continuity from episode to episode and same for the characters. Cheap plot devices to solve problems the characters places in.",1
"Heading into the theater to see this movie, I thought that it was going to be a great experience. I had heard high praise from friends, it fits neatly into my favorite genre of movies (science fiction/drama), and it just looked like a really, really cool concept. Unfortunately, I left the theater feeling ambivalent.

For a basic plot summary, ""Gravity"" tells the story of two astronauts who are stranded in space after a freak satellite accident pummels their shuttle and sends them both adrift. Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) is the cool, cocky, non-stop energy personality, while Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is the nervous, scared, out-of-her-element type. They must somehow find a way to survive in the vacuum of space while planning a return journey to Earth.

I will say this about ""Gravity"": the visuals are absolutely astonishing. It really makes you feel as if you are in space with the two astronauts. I didn't even see it in IMAX, but I can imagine that would be even a more visceral experience.

The trouble for me, however, is that I felt that the plot/characters were never really developed enough to truly care when it all starts to come together in the end. It almost seemed as if director Alfonso Cuaron tried to tackle too many things at once and didn't really ""nail"" any of them. There were shades of horror, suspense, drama, reality, and even humor sprinkled into the experience, but in the end I just didn't feel the emotion that is needed for such a character- driven film like this one to be considered great.

Thus, aside from the spectacular visuals, I was disappointed with ""Gravity"". It isn't a ""bad"" movie, per se, so three stars are in order, but 2.5 would be my more exact ranking. It just never sucked me into the plot or characters.",5
"Horrible storyline, horrible writing, bad acting. Don't waste your time.",2
Not sure what to think about this movie but Margot Robbie is always great to watch and Ryan gosling is consistently great in all his movies these two definately ups my rating of the movie. Was left feeling a little bit underwhelmed! I might just watch it again because I'm sure I missed something in the plot the first time. The soundtrack is perfect for this very colourful film especially Billie eilish What was I made for and would be a shame if it didn't win an Oscar for best song at next years awards ceremony. Overall it was a pleasant watch but like all movies which are overhyped I wanted something more👍,7
"This series surprised me.

The first episode is overall not bad and gives the impression that the rest of the series will be a bit of a whacky fun comedy.

And that's kind of true, but with each episode the story takes a more serious turn and pulls you into the character back stories more and more... and it does it really well!

It turned out to be a really enjoyable emotional journey with some good (albeit dark) laughs along the way.",8
"It's just more liberal propaganda concerning social politics masquerading as a TV show. All they really talk about is sexism, racism and LGBTQ stuff. There's not much that goes on in the show, esp in season 2 that don't revolve around these issues. They even take it back to the 60s so they can use the politics of the time period to legitimize these issues. It's pandering and pathetic.",2
Binge watched in 3 days ...the story was mind bending ..can't wait for season 4.,9
A lackluster plot and story moments! It is absolute trash compared to the terrific WANDA VISION which kept me on the edge of my seat and keep me guessing till the last very moment!,1
"One of the previews that preceded this movie was a trailer for ""Hot Tub Time Machine"", how apropos I thought after viewing this rendition of Sherlock Holmes. It appears Guy Ritchie has brought 21st Century hip actors (Downy, Law, McAdams et al) and transported them back to Victorian era London. A fun ride yes! However as someone who has been enamored with the Great Detective from childhood, this depiction pays more homage to Madonna, than it does Doyle. Cinematography and sets are wonderful, the feeling of that London of long ago is expertly captured here. Sad that the characters and dialog could not have been set in that time as well. Bottom line, if you want to see Ironman stalk Moriarty, this is your flick. If you want to remain true to the Cannon and immerse yourself in England of the latter part of the 19th Century, I suggest you purchase or rent any of the Granada TV produced Sherlock Holmes videos, with Jeremy Brett and David Burke.",5
"Captain America: Civil War was a phenomenal movie. It's perfect blend of Action, Comedy, and Adventure made for a great story. The key to this film was the perfect combination of the plot and all star lineup. Many movies lack a good combo of both, however this movie is an exception. The story of the movie will keep you guessing, laughing, and wide eyed the whole time. My fear was that it would be hard to follow for a person who hadn't watched the previous movies. This is a movie where previous knowledge will help, but isn't completely required. The movie is enjoyable for anyone. The cast complemented each other well and the new additions (hint hint) were great. For action i give the movie a 9 on a scale of 1-10. For the comedy aspect I give it a 10. A 9.5 would be more accurate for the rating. For my recommendation i would have to say........ go see it ASAP! Don't wait for it to come out on DVD, go see it in the theater and enjoy what I believe is the greatest movie of the year thus far!!",9
"First it was great show after found out it's a fiction, not on true based story I get second thoughts.

Women can't compare with the man in sport, either regular sport or cybersport, not in chess.

Modern age try to force us to blend us, bend us for we decline the reality.

Women are great! Enrichmen our lives, are better as man in many fields.

It's sad to see how modern agenda try to indoctrinate us that woman are same man and probably even better.

What we get is no honor of women, we get humaliation of men.

Decorations are great, you feel the time. Good camera work, costumes... all just great.",7
"Once again Christopher Nolan try's to make his dreams come alive on screen again but I'm sorry it was best left in your head and should have stayed a dream. I can only imagine this film was written after a good nights sleep you climb out of bed have a quick think about the bizarre dream you had write it on a notepad and then turn it into a film. I loved the first two batmans but this film is worse than the dark knight rises , inception, man of steel all made by Nolan . to sum up the film it's nearly 3 hours long and overwritten i love sci fi but I'm afraid someone was trying to be too smart and make you think about the plot in detail but fails badly . Poor film big budget once again",3
"As the title goes, this movie was half mystery, and half peeling back the layers of the mystery. It was a bit slow to start (just like the White lotus seasons) but stick with it, because the characters and action all develop well by the end. If you can't be bothered sticking around at the start you need to be looking more closely for clues. It is set in a very summery, fancy idyllic paradise for the most part, so you can get a tan while you watch.

I'm not a fan of Top Gun style of action movies or tonnes of blood and guts and killing, so I can say the level of action in this movie was fine for me to watch, and still very exciting. But my husband likes the Top Gun style I just described, and he probably wouldn't sit through this.",7
"July 6 2004

The wait is over, Marvel Comics has finally delivered Spider-Man 2 to us, and my, did they deliver. not only is this a rare example of a sequel outdoing its predecessor, but it is arguably the greatest superhero movie ever, at least tied with 1978's Superman: the movie. What makes this movie so great? It's Sam Raimi's ability to interseam style and substance. While most super hero flicks focus mainly on stylized action sequences and flashy special effects, this movie realizes there are human beings involved in this story. it acknowledges that Spider-Man is indeed a man underneath the costume. We witness his struggle to balance his private life with his public one. How does one manage school, two jobs, being in love and saving New York? The movie gets even more complex then that, but i only have so many words. Alfred Molina is also great as Dr. Octopus, my personal fave Spidey villain. The effects in this movie are even better than in the first Spidey, you'll be quite convinced it's Tobey swingin' around town. note the lifelike detail in the movements of Doc's tentacles. And though the action scenes are quite entertaining, the plot fleshes out the characters and situations so well that there are no lulls where you're wondering ""when are we gonna see more action?"" In summary, this is truly a movie for those who don't care for superhero movies. and i cant blame those folks. most superhero movies relegate their heroes to grimy dark worlds fighting grimy dark villains wearing a grimy dark costume, grim, emotionless fare. Not the Spider-Man franchise. These movies bring the excitement and sense of wonder of being a hero back to the movies. Instead of dark and grimy, Raimi wisely goes for bright and vibrant. 10/10 stars.",10
"When you stretch the run-time of each episode of your already lengthy 9-episode season to over an hour-long, culminating in a mammoth 2-hour long finale, the makers of Stranger Things needed to ensure that the narrative justified its length and the time invested by the viewers. And the Duffer Brothers and Shawn Levy achieve just that, seamlessly combining the coming-of-age and horror-thriller genres to deliver a sparkling, almost-cinematic experience that will set new benchmarks on the levels a series can aspire to reach.

We rejoin our beloved Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and her rag-tag bunch of compatriots as they look to navigate the vagaries of high school, all-the-while keeping at bay the nefarious forces of the other-dimensional ""Upside down"", where a new power has surfaced, a demonic being known as ""Vecna"". While the core coming-of-age storyline continues to go from strength to strength, the makers deftly split the narrative into three branches, deftly switching back and forth between the POVs of Eleven, her adopted father ""Hopper"" who is trapped in Russia and the enterprising ""Dustin"", my personal favorite character in the entire franchise.

The throwback references to the 1980s, where the story takes place, add a superlative charm to the proceedings, with everything from vintage brands to metal music weaved neatly into the storytelling. The writing is top-notch as usual and how they manage to give each one of its 15+ main characters a compelling story arc with seemingly equal importance is beyond my comprehension. Because of the same, it is very difficult to pick a stand-out performer, with everyone from David Harbour (""Hopper"") to John Keery (""Steve Harrington"") turning in eye-catching portrayals, and even the newly introduced characters like ""Argyle"" and ""Eddy Munson"" make their presence felt.

The only downside of the 4th season is the romance tracks which seem forced and contrived in places, with the writers seemingly drumming up conflicts where there naturally aren't any and deliberately leaving behind loose ends and unanswered questions just to build anticipation for Season 6, said to be the final season of the franchise. Due to these small shortfalls, Volume 4 will still lag behind the landmark Volumes 1 & 2 for me but still manages to deliver a satisfying, immensely binge-worthy viewing experience. Recommended!",8
"The Sequel to the Box office hit movie of 2002 is perhaps the best sequel to a comic book movie, and In many ways is even better than the first. The special effects are better this time around and the plot is more defined. The returning cast is just as good this time around with Tobey Maguire playing the web slinger, along with Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane. J.K. Simmons who plays J.Jonah Jameson has more screen time this time and he makes the most of it with hilarious one liners that make you laugh. If there was such a thing as perfect casting, It would have to be Alfred Molina as Dr. Otto Octavius (Doc Ock). Molina and his four mechanical arms make him a better villain than Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin.(No offense to Dafoe, who did an awesome job). The fight scenes between Spider-Man and Dr. Octopus are choreographed beautifully from begining to end. Whatever mistakes director Sam Raimi made in the first movie he fixed them with this sequel. Because of his love for the Spider-Man characters he puts his heart and soul into the movie so it would be a crime if the Studios choose to film another sequel with a different director. Spider-Man 2 ranks up there with the best comic book movies ever. Get caught in a second web of fun.",10
"I don't know I don't want to be a fan boy and normally like to just read other people's writings on things. But I thought to contribute my two cents. It was surprisingly good, the first episodes especially hit hard. I had to amend this for the 3rd episode which for whatever reason hit harder to me.

But if you knew the story and premise you'd expect it from the first two. The second's ep, especiallly climax, had some missed opportunities for emotional engagement and felt lackluster for some reason. The 3rd although completely non-canonical apart from two characters being together with the same names and is totally different. I'm kind of astonished (as I had to research it due to not recalling that, but yeah those story's 2 diff themes I reckon)

I think I am a bit offput by casting. I do love diversity and inclusion so am all for pedro pascal as he killed it in narcos. But Bella Ramsey's Ellie seemed far grittier and not very resemblent of the canon character (whereas I pictured a younger Ellen Page for some reason). Maybe she'll grow on me. I'm stoked they have the game writer doing like active participation in the showrunning and process.

I mean almost to a fault it follows the games (albeit some much needed/appreciated backstory for explanation which the games lacked cause they're.. just games) but it'd be nice for original plot lines to be interwoven. But the first game had such a perfect story (except the end IMO, although I don't know what I would've preferred otherwise) so I look forward to seeing more of it!

First review! Thank you.",8
"Forever, ad nauseum car chases, bike chases, running, jumping put me to sleep! My wife says...where are the new gadgets (as others mentioned)? None! We enjoyed the final 15 minutes of great scenic shots and aerial action (anything but another car/bike chase). There was a true impossibility. An A-bomb timer is set for about 15 minutes and Tom's plan had to take an hour to accomplish and yet the magic clock never reaches 15. Hey, why not set it for one hour? Story was convoluted and lacked any comic relief. Another mission impossible, Tom jumping from way high up onto concrete and landing like a feather. My wife and I both gave it thumbs down. Sadly, Tom's best acting was when he was doing stunts and not acting.",1
"Oppenheimer was a huge disappointment for me. There was music throughout the film with absolutely no breathing space at all in between. Utterly disappointed as I went to the cinema with high expectations. The music overshadowed everything in my opinion....even the actors performances...as it was trying to force emotions in every scene through its dramatic undertone. What a shame. I struggled to focus on what was being said as the music was so loud in places and it was all I could hear. I just wished it to stop. Apart from that the film is well shot and has some great performances....even by Matt Damon.

After watching it I remembered Nolan's other film Interstellar which again had music throughout. I don't think I'll be rushing to watch another Nolan film any time soon.",2
"It's 2045. Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) is a 17 year old orphan living with his aunt in the trailer park stacks in Columbus, Ohio. The world is obsessed with the virtual reality world of OASIS and Wade spends most of his time there as his avatar Parzival. The late founder of OASIS, James Halliday (Mark Rylance), left his company shares worth half a trillion dollars to the winner of a contest he designed. The first to find an egg after retrieving three keys is set to control OASIS with his shares. After years of lack of success, Wade and his OASIS friend Aech are some of the remaining Gunters obsessed with solving the impossible game. They are opposed by corporate head of IOI and Halliday's former intern, Sorrento (Ben Mendelsohn), with his army of worker gamers called Sixers. As they continuously play the first challenge, Wade is joined by intriguing avatar Art3mis (Olivia Cooke).

I'm not reading the book and I don't think it matters. There are some nagging issues with the underlying concepts. It's in need of a few tweaks. There are some greatness from master director Steven Spielberg but it is a flawed movie. There is no denying that it is a visually sensational action adventure. Spielberg's skills are superior although this movie is a bit of a modern references scattershot. Like Goro turning into Alien, it's a lot of recognizing familiar iconic images without it meaning anything. The only truly compelling reference is The Shining. The characters are allowed to spend time in the place and it ends with a compelling lesson. That's the only well written story arc. All the rest have some sort of flaws.

The first test relies on a random quote from a lifetime with little overall meaning. It would be more likely to come across the solution by accident. After years of failure, somebody should be driving off the track. Just by a process of elimination, a Sixer would have driven in reverse once. As for Sorrento, he is both omnipotent and ruthless. He's willing to kill. He has massive computer power to track down anybody. After capturing Samantha, the obvious move for him is to torture her for information on Wade and all his friends. After killing one, killing more is no hurdle. It's like Sorrento's character arc went back a step. He needs to kill off the five and tension could be build by killing them one at a time. I was perplexed by Daito and Sho's first inclusion but at least, I thought that they would make good plot devices or at a minimum, cannon fodder. The last thing I thought that they would be useful is as a real world Scooby gang. As for Wade's speech to rally the OASIS world, it should have happened sooner right after IOI blow up the trailer park. I kept waiting for Wade to call in an avatar press conference where he exposes his real identity and IOI's murder spree. Also, there is Samantha's god-awful ugly face. Yah, right. It's played up so much and yet it's only a Gorbachev birthmark. It misses a big point about that issue. She could easily cover it up with heavy makeup. Another thing, is Sorrento's big evil plan about pop up ads? Recent developments at Facebook show what actual damage to the social order looks like. This is kiddie writing by comparison in imagining the worst case scenario. In many ways, that's the problem. This could have been a deeper social commentary but it is mostly trying to be a fun videogame story. The final lesson is to go out and smell the flowers. It is the easiest and cheesiest of after school special. That's the level of the script.",6

"Followup to my season 3 review. Season 4 is just a big mess. Plot is all over the place, contrived story lines, including the disjointed ending. One episode is about a shooting drill in school. Next students stage a protest and riot against the police. and out of the blue one main character is dying of AIDS? what?? Clay's narration, disassociate disorder and his therapy session was interesting for the first episode or so, but to stretch it to the whole season is unbearable. Just had to fast forward all the Clay monologues.

Season 3 review - Ani...Nothing about this character makes sense. She has been in the school only a few months, but everyone confides in her about their secrets. She has no business meddling in everyone's business and is the queen of eavesdropping. The reason she is so intrigued to solving the murder mystery, isnt convincing at all. The constant snooping around at home and school conversations was just so annoying, i couldnt get past episode 5. Her narrative/voice over was just like a copy of the voice over of the lead character in Euphoria. it didnt work there and it doesnt work here. Clay Jensen was pretty annoying too. Clay and Ani are now detectives out to find the murderer and randomly accusing their friends without any evidence? Gimme a break. This had all the elements for an interesting murder mystery story but completely fails due to the two annoying leads.",4
Seems some love and some hate this movie. Personally I stopped it halfway. Sandler was as always brilliant but I just didn't find this entertaining. I don't watch movies to be stressed or struggle to keep up keeping track. That's not my idea of entertainment. But each to his or her own.,4
"This remake of the beloved Disney movie is actually pretty decent, the songs were generally good and the actors did a great job voicing the characters (especially Chiwetel Ejiofor who voiced scar) but the movie doesn't live up to the original that we all love and cherish for example the animals are so realistic that they don't even have facial expressions and I also believe that Disney lost the advantage of being able to create some of the most iconic scenes of the movie when they chose to go for live action!",2
Some feel good moments could of been funnier and could of had more twists and turns...,6
But the season 3 was pretty lacking and i found myself skipping it a lot.,7
"I was very hesitant about watching Death Note as i am not very interested in the anime genre, but soon after watching the first couple of episodes I was hooked. For those who love thriller and psychological genres you will definitely love Death Note. Each 20 minute episode was able to deliver a well written script to guide an intensive storyline. Although the basic synopsis of the show may seem far fetched, the show does not drop the ball when it comes to the plot, as it is able to make the story realistic for modern audiences. For those who decide to watch this you will soon realize why it deserves to claim its position in 'Top TV Series' list.",9
"In the future, the industrial spy Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) has the ability to steal secrets from the dreams of executives. When his beloved wife committed suicide in the past, he was falsely accused of murder and now he is an international fugitive that can not return to USA to be with his children. When Cobb meets the powerful Saito (Ken Watanabe), the executive offers a unique chance to him to clear his records. In return, Cobb shall plant an inception in the mind of the heir Robert Fischer (Cillian Murphy) to avoid that the company he had inherited from his father becomes a monopoly in energy in the future. Cobb lost the capability to build dreams and together with his partner Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), they team up with the trainee in architecture Ariadne (Ellen Page); with the expert Eames (Tom Hardy); and with the chemistry Yusuf (Dileep Rao) to enter in different levels of Robert's dream and plant the inception.

""Inception"" is an overrated mess and my greatest deception in 2011. I do not understand the hype surrounding this film, probably the fruit of the market campaign of smart producers that lure naive viewers that seem that does not think and understand how flawed and stupid this story is. The plot is developed in fast pace to force the viewer to not think, with incoherent rules that do no make sense and that change in each layer of the dream in accordance with the intention of the writer. The best part of this film is the hilarious IMDb User Rating that reflects how brainless the Hollywood cinema has become in the contemporary days. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): ""A Origem"" (""The Inception"")",6
"I think it definetly started really well. Episodes were very thought provoking. But then the quality slowly got worse towards the end, which is too bad because I really enjoyed the the first couple seasons.",8
Great execution but the basic premise is ridiculous. People with amazing powers are getting exploited by an an evil corporation because they have no other alternative? Come on!,6
"I've watched the first 4 episodes and YES, it's too early to say anything conclusive yet. Still, I find myself in a feeling that anything I've seen so far haven't interested me a one bit.

Technically the show is great. Probably better than GoT in some ways. Actors/actresses are mostly great and the characters are interesting (excluding the protsgonist so far).

And that's the problem, it seems there is only one protagonist to follow and not a particularly interesting one. At least not for me. I don't mind slow burn but there haven't been any single logical or interesting turn of events that would keep my interest in this.

I've seen the other reviews and most are very positive. I even discussed with my friend about this, 'cause he seems to be interested of the story. I just don't find anything really compelling.

Original GoT was a slow burn but it made you care about the characters and their individual story arcs from the very start. This haven't been able. At least not yet.

I wasn't particularly interested of this beforehand so there were no massive hype behind it. But I gotta admit, I wasn't hyped about GoT, Witcher or even Arcane but those I enjoyed a lot.

So, it's not that there was massive expectations coming in to this. It was not the quality of acting or the technical side. It's just that there's not really anything interesting going on or anything particular to look forward to.

I'm hoping it gets better towards the end. In many ways it's a solid show, still the most important is lacking In quality. It can get better for sure. This is just a review of the first 4 episodes. I will update this if there is a need.",7
"Just watched the first episode and absolutely thrilled everyone else is loving it so far. Big fan of the books, so when I heard this was being made into a television series, I was extremely excited but also hesitant hoping this wouldn't be a flop. For these type of fantasy shows, I feel it's very hard for actors to capture the right persona. But I was highly impressed by all of the actors in the pilot. Of course with all movie/television adaptations things were changed, which was understandable but I didn't find myself bothered by any of the changes that were made. What I loved most was seeing all the other character perspective and what other things were going on beyond the main storyline. Defiantly worth watching!",9
"I don't need to harp on about the technical achievement that it is, as that is what the movie is known for. It is unfortunate that this overshadows 1917's offensive take on Germans during WWI, like typical American children thinking German s in WWI were evil because of WWII.

In 1917, German soldiers are portrayed as killers while British soldiers are portrayed as merciful, as the opposite. This is propaganda, pure and simple. The Germans were not evil, the only ""bad guy"" in WWI were all the politicians keeping the war going while all the soldiers and civilians eventually wanted it to end. Don't forget that the French and Germans would fraternize during this war, a practice that had to be banned.

We also have Germans with storm trooper aim; chasing and firing bolt action rifles simultaneously against a target fleeing in a straight line no more than 30m ahead. The plot is full of typical unbelievable Hollywood action that simply does not belong in a war film.

If you're going to pursue utmost immersive cinematography, then please also incorporate an authentic, unbiased, respectful script to match. Impressive technical achievement, but I cannot recommend this propaganda war flick.",4
"Oh man was this disappointing. Either embrace old age or just let it go, old fellers. This film is rather a document on America's denial of aging and emphasis on phallic, immature ego. Deeply saddening.",4
"Anurag Basu brings something different for the audience whenever he directs a movie. Inspite of knowing the fact that this movie is bit too over the top and melodramatic in terms of execution I still loved it, because of the way it got connected with my emotions and definitely because of the amazing work from each and every actor. This is the best dark comedy of bollywood film industry.",9
"There is something interesting and refreshing about the subject this deals with, and I get that this is why it gets a high score. Acting isn't bad and it is mostly engaging.

But the final episode is a bummer, the characters do what you expect, there is nothing special there or to learn, it all falls flat after 3 episodes.

But also: horrible audio, 40% of it was recorded very badly, you can hear audio cuts, so the mix was also bad. Balance is all over the place. It sounds like a student film, or even worse. About 10% of the shots are out of focus. The whole quality just seems too low. It doesnt take any budget to do the audio better than what was done here. You can just hear the boom being in the wrong place on a closeup shot.

Would have loved to give this an 8, but the very bad quality together with the very flat ending makes it just barely wortg it to give it a watch if you want to see something new.",6
"This movie is directed by the Sam Hargrave, the stunt coordinator of the recent Avengers movies and screenplay by The Russo Brothers,the directors of the recent Avengers movies. Tyler Rake(Hemsworth),a mercenary,is hired to rescue the boy of an Indian Gang leader who got kidnapped by another deadly crime lord. Thats was the entire plot though. The story becomes secondary while making the action primary and,they did achieve what they intended. For starters, Chris Hemsworth was good in this, he did have a really good charisma in this and he was the only one to get a bit of additional character detailing. Ovi Mahajan(Jaiswal), the plot device, had less characterisation but, was likable and had more emotional attachment towards the end. Nik Khan(Farahani) and Saju(Hooda) were also good although they were one dimensional. David Harbour had a small cameo which was actually good. The villain was bland. Speaking about the other aspects,the movie did have pretty good action sequences. The long fight sequence in the first half of the movie is my favorite. They utilized the 'R' rating properly. The violence was extreme at certain times, unlike in Deadpool which seemed comical,this was more realistic and brutal. The movie was made by a stuntman and he did ensure really good action sequences. There were really good camera movements in this and choreography was good. The music was apt for this. The biggest con of this movie which I felt was that this whole movie felt like a video game. First we had a bit of character interactions,then fights, slowing down to interactions and continuing. This was still a watchable movie, guilty pleasure to be precise. I recommend this movie to every action lovers, Hemsworth fans and to everyone who needs some adrenaline during quarantine.

Rating: 7/10",7
"I never rate a film on its technical aspects or feasibility or any such factor. What matters to me is the impression that the film leaves when you finally leave the cinema (or your laptop :D ).

And this exactly is what Vikas Bahl has worked on. . . .the feel good factor. . . . .the belief that yes, life may get screwed up sometimes. . . .events, people, situations may turn against you. . . .and yet none of them can do anything to you as long as you have the guts to fight back. . . .as long as you have strength to accept situations as they are and then move on.

Brilliant acting by Kangana and Lisa. . . .and yes, RajKumar as well(who fits his role to perfection).

Brilliant cinematography, Brilliant script, and most importantly, brilliant direction....one that will keep you glued to your seats for the beautiful journey of 135 minutes. . . . . All that you're required to do is to turn off your skeptical side, your biases, that budding critic inside you and believe that this is a film to enjoy and that's what you're here for!!

A perfect 10 on 10 from my side!!",10
"Unfortunately this is just so bad. Maybe it will get better but the acting, script and editing suggest otherwise. It's hard to know who the audience this is intended for. The violence and nudity suggest grown ups but everything else is strictly young adult. It's certainly no game of thrones. I'll give episode two a chance but at the moment this is an hour of my life that I am never getting back and there are better ways to spend my time.",1
"I never thought I'd watch a movie while waiting to get a haircut. But I'm glad I did. Because it made the waiting worthwhile. I found myself watching a good ol' tale of friendship and loyalty. How a friendship between young man and beast can slowly be built with trust and care, to the point of giving one's life for the other.

Kodi Smit-McPhee gives a good performance. His character is not manly enough for their cold world, but he manages to survive through the freezing cold, alongside a newly made friend. The visuals are mildly impressive, showing lots of gorgeous landscapes that certainly add to the story.

The main focus is the relationship between Keda (Smit-McPhee) and the wolf, and the turmoil they go through together, their struggle for survival through extreme cold temperatures, and their strong will to return to their home.

It's a nice story, I have to say I enjoyed this film, and cared for their characters, which let's face it, doesn't happen very often with movies lately.",7
"Actors doing great job, camera work is also great and it is very atmospheric and gives it 80's feeling but it is too long and nothing violent happens. I do not recommend.",4
"The magic they got in the first 2 seasons...they lost it in season 3. far too much dialogue, attempted humor in every (i mean every) scene takes all the tension and darkness out of it..the main characters from the first 2 seasons are no longer who they used to be....they have all turned into stupid morons who stand around arguing about inane irrelevancies at the height of the action in an attempt to inject humor (always in the wrong places) Overall, season 3 is badly written, lacks any real tension, tries far too hard to be funny, far too much dialogue and far too little story. Very disappointing, but not really surprising...season 1 = 9/10. season 2 = 8/10. season 3 = 6/10. i think the outlook for season 4 is more of the same....stranger things has now morphed (degenerated more like) into your typical ensemble cast drama/comedy/horror/comfort food entertainment series. Still satisfying in places, still has its moments but nothing special like S1 and S2 to an extent.",8
"This is a nice show to watch when you're bored or when you finished your favourite show.

This script is very weak, the acting is very weak aswell, the fighting look horrible, even though there's a nice suspense it gets killed by the weak dialogues and scenarios. At least Music is good.",6
Good action Direction and effects spit on Acting good for genre Not much in plot very linear Point A to Point B Worth a watch if your isolating,7
"""Talk to Me"" has been touted as the horror movie phenomenon of the year (its premiere in its native Australia was last year) and it falls short, it's so much more, a visual delight and adrenaline rush. The script takes elements from ""Ringu"" and ""It Follows"" but adds its own refreshing originality, offering an art-house horror film without cheap jump scares. The cinematography is a visual delight, plus it creates a murky atmosphere. The performances of the entire cast are realistic and intense, mainly those of Sophie Wilde and Miranda Otto. The musical composition will become a classic for those of us who are fans of the genre. The makeup effects are gloomy, achieving an excellent old-school air. The audio design is excellent and adds to the suspense factor. The direction of the brothers Danny and Michael Philippou is majestic, together they achieve an innovative film and a great modern classic within horror cinema. A modern horror film made to perfection.",10
"It really is just a nonsense fest from the get go. About 20 minutes in I thought to myself hmm surely it can't be this stupid and off the walls for the entire film. And yet it was, it does start to centre more around Scarlet Witch, but if like me you didn't watch Wandavision then that really seems just as out of nowhere as everything else. By the end of the film I wished I had not finished watching it as it just felt like a huge waste of time and really just ruined the Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch characters for me in the MCU.

It was barely a film to be honest, more of a mash of Doctor Strange and Wanda based mini-films with mostly cool CGI (still some really bad CGI too) and no coherent story or direction.",2
"This is a simple story about how Wall Street takes money from the poor. Nothing to surprise you. So the only way to make a non-interesting story interesting is to stuff it with lots of sex scenes, f-words and drug abuses. Cheap tricks.

There is no content. Just a low class high budget movie. Very disappointing.

The only scene I like is when Kyle Chandler having a discussion with Leonardo DiCaprio on the yacht. Both actors did a job. But I think Kyle Chandler performs better. Well done Kyle Chandler. Need to see more of his movies.",2
"Same old glamorizing the thugs. Long, slow, and boring. We've seen most of the characters before, but now many are just older. I expected more these actors and the director. I don't know what, but I just felt like I'd seen it all before.",4
"Since you already know this, I strongly recommend you to watch ""The Godfather: a novel for television"", a television miniseries that combines The Godfather and The Godfather Part II into one film, ordered chronologically and including deleted scenes.",10
"Not even exaggerating, This is one of the wonderful heart touching movie I've ever seen. Class acting, great story, good songs and everything aside charlie is better actor than most Bollywood actors out there.

Great use of time watching this movie, watched some 8-10 times😅. Kids would love this too, don't miss this masterpiece.

"Well filmed, well acted, no story.

Something to have on while you are working on a project of your own (building a model, doing homework, polishing your silverware).

There is no story here, so it is a slough to get through (technicaly, ""Boy likes movies; movies are good!"" is the story).

Hokey, corny, unrealistic--but without the magic of movies in any real way.

It's like Steven Spielberg and team found a script in some kid's locker and decided to tighten the dialogue but didn't work on any of the scenes or structure in any way, and then spend $40 million dollars filming it.

""How great are movies?!"" takes precedence over any kind of dramatic story [there's a little bit of ""Father wants son to go into STEM fields but Son doesn't want to"", but it is resolved in a few moments when the son says, ""But I don't like Algebra. Why would I do that?"".

I get the impression that the team were trying to create something with multiple storylines, but didn't know how to achieve it. Instead, it is comprised of a number of scenes in which dramatic notions are touched upon and then immediately resolved.

I think the best description would be to say that the filmmakers got lost in their self-indulgence, and forgot to make a movie.

--all superbly filmed, but all unoriginal. A great lesson for those who wish to make an impact with their art.",2
"This movie appealed to the Hollywood screenwriters and actors because it was about them, not because it was a good movie. It was disjointed and I can only imagine the producers and writers cheering themselves on and saying how they did a great job, and the out-of-touch Academy saying ""This is brilliant!"". It was very disappointing because we do need more WELL WRITTEN musicals, but this one was not, and was SUCH a waste of time. I will not argue, however, that Emma Stone is a very good actress.",1
"This show is not going to be for everyone, if you liked the Hannibal movies (Manhunter, The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, Red Dragon, Hannibal Rising) this series is going to have familiar character names, but that's about it. This isn't a bad thing in my opinion, I like the fresh look and feel of this show, how they made some tweaks to characters and story arcs from the movies, it gives the writers more flexibility to engage the viewer.

If you're a fan of the shows Dexter or The Killing you will like this show. Hannibal has some... thought provoking, bordering on extremely violent images that make you wonder about these writers sometimes but overall it helps the viewer understand the demons of the iconic character Hannibal Lecter. The psychological chess game that gets played throughout the first two seasons can be tedious for some but I enjoyed it, adds depth to the story.

Bottom line... There isn't another series quite like this one out there, very good plot twists. I hope it lasts.",9
"Let's start off directly - critically acclaimed with 8.2 rating. Since I can't vouch for mental credibility of critics, I can vouch that they have been properly paid, just like for other big titles.

Now a bit more detail. Movie isn't bad. There can be worse, certainly. Movie has visuals, some music, some acting, some plot. If watching this is not an expense to you - it's worth it. However, there is nothing to expect from this movie. Absolutely.

The only possible positive thing about this movie is the atmosphere. Duh, a movie about atmosphere has atmosphere! Well, better than the opposite. To some it may be boring and redundant, but I can more or less understand the purpose of depicting how helpless a person is in open space. This is the catch of the movie, and it is achieved. At this point the movie COULD in fact have 7-8 rating. But...

The amount of stupidity in this movie can only be competing against Promotheos. How did this specialist get in space? Last time I checked, space program isn't some university teaching. You can't just be an ""expert"" or ""specialist"". Unless all of that is an urban myth, only people with perfect health\physical condition, mental stability proved by multiple tests and extreme perception are allowed to actually go there. And that is regardless of your ""role"". And it is for the very reason that things that are shown in the movie - do NOT end like they did. What do we see? Well, mentally unstable, physically slender ""expert"", who has issues in basic centrifuge situation(and that IS one of the tests). Oh, and I hope this isn't much of a spoiler, but apparently she also has never succeeded in emergency simulations. We are supposed to believe that she was allowed up there... On top of that - the dialogues are very plain. The whole movie can be summed down to protagonist whining and being babysat by her officer in charge. Twice in the movie the protagonist stays on the brink of death... for unnaturally long time. Let's put it this way. Over the course of 10 minutes, the Oxygen amount has been reduced from ~10% to 1%. In the next ~15 minutes of active talking, breath and moving - this 1% is as good as full. Seriously, no. Just no. And, of course, there is one decompression scene that is worse than Ripley in Aliens.

If you are a visual fa.. fan - you will probably award it 7-9, as you'd do to any other CGI motion picture. If you are a scientific person... well, you will be offended. Totally. This is probably not the safe movie to watch.",5
"The only reason I've given this two stars is that, unbelievably, I've seen worse films. But not many. When the action is so over the top and plain stupid, with a driving soundtrack that never lets up, it just becomes a borefest. Glad its over.",2
"But I hung in and though maybe the 2nd would be better. Sorry I just can't waste more time trying to like a show, that is totally unwatchable. Wanting it to end asap doesn't make it in any way watchable. How they kept this a secret from one juror amazes me, but honestly I don't care at all. Not at all. I have no idea why some people have given this show 10/10. I swear they picked a group of the most annoying people to play parts that are written to be annoying. And yes I gave it 2 pity stars, because it sounded like a great show. Asking the jurors how it felt to be a juror, are you kidding me? Bla bla bla.",2
"I've only watched the first episode, so can only review that. It is advertised as 29 minutes long, its actually 22 minutes with 7 minutes of credits. Shot entirely in black and white, supposedly to give the 50s sitcom vibe, this along with the misleading length, makes it appear quite miserly. I won't slate the content, there wasn't much to slate after all. I'll see how the series proceeds.",4
"The film is listed as a comedy. This is not a comedy. The entire film was one or two funny scenes. An interesting drama, and not a complete waste of time, but still a disappointment. I do not understand why this movie has such high ratings. I looked at the descriptions of other users who have described this movie brilliant, perfect for stay at home, absurd, amusing, violent, simply beautiful and so on. Frankly, none of that I have not seen. I saw a couple of famous actors and I was expecting a lot more. The biggest disappointment brings it I expected a good comedy with a good rating from users here and looked mediocre drama.",3
"When I first heard about this movie, I wasn't too sure what to expect. But when I watched it in the cinema, I realised that one of the best things about it was that it had reality in it.

Mohan Bhargav, a NASA engineer, returns to his homeland, India and goes in search for his governess, Kaveri Amma and finds her in a village where people do not have basic facilities, such as electricity on a regular. On requesting her to go with him to the USA, he is informed that she can't as she also helps one of his childhood friends, Geeta by looking after her house and her younger brother. He realises that Kaveri Amma, will not leave Geeta until she is married and settled and that the school that she is operating gets a full approval form the seniors in the village for a new plot of land to build it into a college. He then decides that he will do whatever he can to help and then take Kaveri Amma with him.

Sha Rukh Khan, as Mohan Bhargav, is just brilliant as is Gayatri Joshi in her first film. The music by A.R. Rehman is also worth listening to as are some songs such as ""Yeh Tara Woh Tara,"" ""Yuhi Chala Chal Rahi"" a duet by Udit Narayan and Kailesh Kher, and ""Yeh Jo Desh Hai Tere"" and finally ""Saawariya."" Directed by Ashtosh Gowariker, the movie depicts life in villages today and is very much patriotic.

This is a movie that does not have the glitz and glamour, such as the dressing and jewellery that we see nowadays in almost every movie. Instead it shows reality which is rare to see in any movies these days.",10
"I did not know what to expect of this movie other than what the trailer showed, but I was completely blown away by this film! Not only does it pay homage to the Matrix and Spiderman as well as Looney Tune cartoons but the opening with the butterfly paid homage to the Men In Black with the dragonfly flying through the opening credits. From that point on, I was totally swept up in the movie and the 95 or so minutes seemed to go by in no time at all! The effects were well within the atmosphere presented by this action/comedy and I found myself laughing at all the jokes presented as well as feeling for the character of Sing as he blundered his way through trying to be a gangster even though he was way in over his head.

Scene after scene flowed with maybe some exceptions here and there, but all in all held together and kept my attention. I, too could have watched this movie without the subtitles and have enjoyed it just as much. The tonal sounds of Brother Sum, the language itself added to the beauty of this film, I could close my eyes and listen to it and be swept away. If the language was not so hard to master at such a point this far in my life, I would love to be able to learn it just to get the true dialogue they were speaking.

From the background story of Sing to the rag tag collection of people living in Pig Sty Alley to the seemingly inept but fear in sheer numbers of the Axe Gang, this film has enough characters to satisfy anyone. They each have a place in the movie and I don't think it would be the same without them.

The story, cinematography, the effects(at times obviously CG but they fit within the context of the film), the characters and even the music all make this a memorable viewing, enough to put this in my collection of films that I could watch over and over without growing tired of it.

There is so much I actually enjoyed of this film, I would love to dig deeper into the career of Stephen Chow. I had not heard of him before this viewing, but I would like to see if his other films were as entertaining.

If you like movies that have martial arts, enough action and comedy to spare with a story strong enough to hold it all together, I would recommend you catch this movie. I can't wait for it to come out on DVD!",10
"Lost all the fire that the first season had. Truth is it was entertaining to start then they spent the entire second series in 2162 and separated all the characters. Turned Joosh into a pet. It just lost its comedic feel. Leave it to Haley Joel Osmond to ruin something good. Even though he's pretty good in this series and it's not his fault. Anyways, this show isn't good. There's zero laughs in the second series, outside of homosexuality being punned.",1
"The series is very fun and interesting, I am very excited to complete the rest of the episodes and I see what will happen to all personalities",8
Preserved. Poor sound & picture quality. Disjointed and slow. A waste if Ben Mendolson's talent. Perhaps 7 out of 10 but given the sound/picture issues it's a 6,6
"The movie is not good. if not for Chris Pine , underrated, it'll be total disaster. That girl's acting is poor :(",2
"It was with great anticipation that I sat down to watch The Martian, a film that had not only been called ""a modern Classic"" but a film that had also registered a high 8.0 rating on IMDB. My enthusiasm lasted around 15 minutes. The rest of the film was completely unbelievable, with a storyline so dull the director thought he had to intersperse 70's music to keep it alive. Matt Damon played a man who was alone on a planet millions of miles from Earth yet his character had the depth of a sparrow. I have no idea what some other notable actors were doing in this film and it looked like they didn't know either! A dreadful waste of time as was; Interstellar, Arrival and Gravity. Much better modern alternatives are Midnight Special, A Quiet Place and Minority Report.",3
"I give this film a D- for all the downer D words that describe it.

I was so excited to see this but I ended up disgusted and depressed. I had to walk out before it was finished because I just couldn't take it anymore. I don't know what else to say except I wish I had never seen this dreadful film. I genuinely do not understand how anyone could think it was good.",1
"Again I am mystified as to how this, at best mediocre series is so revered and loved. And with the most unattractive cast to boot. They must have searched far and wide to be this consistent. Barely hanging in there with the plodding storyline and won't get back to this for a while; what with so many other superior series ( actually all ) to watch. I. Just. Don't. Get. It. The only interesting character in S1 was 11. With her not in this episode till the end made this an excruciating chore to watch. At least if they had likable characters but there's nary a one except for her. If I continue to watch I will not be able to stop shaking my head. Watch Mindhunters or The Punisher for entertainment instead!!!!",1
"This so called prequel is a failure. It is painful to see the actors and their characterization. After seeing 6 episodes we can surely say that is not even close to the original show GOT which makes it kind of insulting to its fans.

It is parody acting, where you keep waiting either Kenan Thompson to appear with dreadlocks silver hair or even Jimmy Fallon sitting in the iron throne sipping a Budweiser made in Westeros with a sitcom background laughter.

The acting is so bad and superficial, only 3 o 4 locations so far, and the so called seeds of war are being planted by boring characters with cheap wigs upon their heads.

The ""house of the dragon"" is homestead of teenage drama and gossip with little to none dragons in their pit.

It keeps jumping ahead leaving gaps into the storyline that can be obvious, but it is just off.

There is no depth into the story, nothing gets you attention and is interesting enough to follow through, the TV script basically start and kill every underlined subject in a single episode, nothing builds nor escalates.

The succession war we were promised is only a few comments of who will rise to the throne after the king dies, something that's taken for granted by generalization of the story.

It is unpleasant, uninterested, empty, boring and at this point unnecessary story of house Targaryen.",1
One of the best phsycho thriller in Indian cinema history. No words to say. Outstanding amazing.During the Second half you can't take off the eyes from the movie. A must watch movie.,10
"Some good special effects at the beginning and the end. They story was difficult to follow. If I had watched this on Netflix, I would have bailed out.",2
The action scenes in the movie is to damn good the story is as usual same as in the trailer not more then that but the movie is so enjoyable and amazing you should watch this one if your are bored,7
"What is this? Surely no one watches this and wonders what will happen. Surely no one can think that ten, seemingly endless, hours to the inevitable conclusion is worth it. Netflix seem to want to corner the dystopian pay per view market. The endlessly miserable, dark, hopeless and joyless output they deliver up really begs the question - do they feel joy over at Netflix HQ? Are they capable of love? Is this their world view? Some good performances, some tedious cliched performances. Some good music, some awful music. Needlessly cumbersome script. Some eye-catching cinematography - but almost always gloomy. Natch. The end couldn't come soon enough - although, we're left with the chilling realisation that there will probably be a second season. Now that is depressing.",2
"Great characters Nadia and Maxine. The repetitions are a bit trying, but ultimately worth it.

Also, I love Maxine's blue shirt. If I had to use the same shirt over and over again, I'd pick that one too.",9
"The plot of the movie is nothing new but it's interesting enough that it will keep you hooked.

Performances by the actors, be it big stars like Chris Hemsworth and Randeep Hooda or the Child actor - Rudhraksh Jaiswal did an amazing job. The movie has some well-choreographed action sequences, good background score, and brilliant camera work. Though I think they could've avoided playing Bollywood songs in every other corner of the apartment building action sequence, that too in Bangladesh. It felt like a bad attempt to attract Indian audiences.

The movie seemed to lack character development and plot development. It just focused on the action sequences which were brilliant and made you feel like you're watching a good shooting game. The film gets somewhat repetitive towards the end. You can only watch so many people getting shot without turning out to be numb and somewhat exhausted by it. Also, the film opens with a shot from close to the end of the film and It doesn't work however because there is no intrigue behind it. This was one of the few poor choices for an otherwise good action film. I would recommend giving this one a watch especially if you like action movies and games.",7
"The Matrix lives up to its billing as a computer program laden with special effects. What? This is a movie? Could have fooled me. I thought I had seen this movie before when it was called Johnny Mneumonic or was it Spaceballs. This was a typical movie with characters and plot straight out of Mission Impossible. Sure the stunts and effects were cool, but Keanu Reeves's acting overshadowed it. It was if Ted Logan (from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure) was the main character. It was entertaining, but not for the $7 or so that admission costs. This is a decent movie to see on tv or even for a free rental, but I wouldn't spend my money on it.",3
"I've seen every one of the Oscars Best Picture nominees.

Barbie - boring as hell.

Maestro- boring Holdovers - pretty good, but kind of long and boring Anatomy of a Fall - not as boring as Barbie, but nothing really good.

Oppenheimer- long and kind of boring Killers of the Flower Moon - pretty good. I love Native American themes, and I grew up in Oklahoma, so kind of biased.

Poor Things - interesting. Pretty good.

Zone of Interest- also pretty good, but nothing new to me.

And then there's American Fiction. If I were judging by the cover of the book, I wouldn't have even seen this movie. If this movie were not nominated for Best Picture, I would have never seen it. But wow, I was captivated. I was so interested in it. I don't think the topic is new. People being stereotyped. It could be African American, it could be Asian American, it could be Hispanic American, Native American, etc. But the way the story is written and directed and acted and edited, my gosh, this is by far the best movie of the year.

Oh, did I mention this movie is hilarious as hell? But it's not a comedy. It's pure drama. Real life can be more ironic and funnier than comedy and fiction.",10

"I watched this movie on Netflix and was utterly underwhelmed by it after the three and a half hours I endured.

Robert De Niro is a brilliant actor who has a brilliant history but his talent has certainly faded with age and he can no longer deliver convincing performances, certainly not in this sort of role at least. Earlier scenes where he is portraying the much younger character were almost laughable, his hair and wrinkles were touched up to take years off his appearance but you couldn't help but see an aged man and it ruined every scene. There's a particular one in which he confirms someone for something they did to his daughter and the guy screams in pain but De Nero can barely lift his foot off the ground let alone swing a convincing blow.

Al Pacino was equally as bad, some of his line delivery was worse than kids performing in a school nativity play in primary school. He did have a couple of good scenes but on the whole it was another tragic Pacino performance.

As for the film storyline, there is just not enough substance in there to justify the runtime. I was seriously bored less than an hour into it and at the end of it was left feeling like I'd wasted my time. There is somewhat of an interesting gangster movie in there but there are far more irrelevant and unfulfilling scenes. I feel like there is at least an hour that could have been cut from the film that wouldn't have taken anything away from the story.

It's a shame, I was really looking forward to watching this and bought into all the hype but it didn't come close to living up to it.",4
"Yes, you read it right. As bold and on the face it gets, the series is also made with such raw content, in a coming of age and an interesting fashion. This 2-season series definitely belongs to the category where you just cannot stop with one episode and you end up binge-watching all the episodes!

James, a 17-year old who is convinced that he is a psychopath, is bored of killing animals and wants to kill a human. He meets Alyssa, another 17 year old rebellious girl who has family and social issues. They decide to run away from their town. En route, they end up committing a murder and they are on the run from there on. How they manage to escape the law and whether they both have a future together is the plot.

Every episode here is just 20-25 mins long and the makers have managed to pack enough elements to keep us engaged in duration. The addition of the third main character Bonnie who wants to kill both James and Alyssa makes season 2 even more racy and addictive.

A must watch for the 'Netflix n Chill' folks.",9
Amazing series with Spielberg vision of parallel world existence with the Hint of Steven Kings script.,9
Lost in Space is wonderful i am giving it a 9 because it is missing a little laughs but besides that it is wonderful,9
"Watched through: 2 Episodes.

Is it GoT so, I'll watch it just because but, it is extremely lackluster so far. It's all dark and brooding and melancholy and dreary.... GoT was those things also but, not only those things. All of the moments of levity and charisma and vibrancy are just completely stripped away. I have no particular fondness for any characters. Daemon Targaryen seems like they want him to be kind of a cross between Little Finger and Jaime but, the former Doctor Who falls flat thus far, lacking charm of any kind.

It not TERRIBLY but, it's definitely not great either. I'm sure some people will keep putting 10s because ""it's GoT"" and ""there's dragons"" but, aside from young people walking around with white hair and some dragons, it doesn't feel much like GoT.",4
"There was a point of such an extremism in action that made me think whether this movie is parodying modern action movies or it is just one of them. If it was a parody, then it would been a phenomenal movie (especially when Ryan Reynolds is in it).

Unfortunately this is your typical good guys that kill bad guys kind of movie and Ryan Reynolds just can't fit in that character. Everyone fits nicely in their typical-action-cliche roles but Ryan Reynolds is not the type to play someone like a leader of the group. He is quirky and kinda awkward, which is not suitable for a character that tries to stick to the main mission no matter what.

Cheesy scenes with typical cliche outcomes. Nothing will surprise you.",5
"Good acting and imagery, that's about it. Afterwards I read about the parallels to ancient myth, and really didn't do it for me still.",5
"Tries so hard to be epic but falls short in almost every way. Full of clichés & exposition. The unnecessary nudity, the very notable green screen, the awful contact lenses & the voice modulation of Henry Cavill takes you out sometimes. Henry Cavill may be the one thing that saves it...",5
The cast is poor and they play bad. Will is not what he was. All are different from original show. Is just the whole show is not how it was original. They should name it a different way and don't use same names for characters.,3
"Just finished watching the first three seasons. Took me a month and that may not be the ideal way to view this as there is soooo much going all the time one becomes a bit numb to it all after a while. I do not like superhero movies very much anymore so this more ""realistic"" take on what superheroes might really be like is refreshing, an odd word for something as violent, gory, sexual and downright bonkers as this. There has never been a TV series remotely as outlandish as this one with truly incredible special effects and many far, far from kid worthy. I can't really pick out one cast member as being better than another, but a slight majority of this rests on the shoulders of Karl Urban, Jack Quaid & Antony Starr and they are just an example of a superlative cast. Starr's character is clearly based on the Trump phenomenon and the character is hilarious, pitiful and awful. There is so much here it's impossible to even know what to write about, but suffice to say if you want to see something totally original and you are not squeamish or easily offended, nor too young, this is a must, but you might want to take your time. There was so much to absorb in those four weeks that I was glad when it ended.",8
"The entire cast does such a great job and it seems everyone had a fun time making the film. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling are of course stand outs, but Michael Cera as Allan and Issa Rae as Barbie were also phenomenol! The sets were gorgeous, according to behind the scenes, everything was practical when it could be, and that made such an obvious difference in bringing the Barbie world to life. The costumes!!! So much fun, so much pink, and Robbie's long-standing relation with chanel wormed it's way into costuming as well, truly there are a bunch of unique and extremely well done pieces!

However, this is still a movie made to appeal to the widest audience to make the most money possible. There's some popular feminism, but nothing that challenges status quo, and nothing too disagreeable for the average audience. It's pretty to look at, but lacks adequate substance in favor of just bringing up the talking point to say they acknowledged it. Furthermore the movie is extremely uninterested in exploring anything about Mattel's business practices or perpetual consumerism. Not that I was expecting it to, but both those potential issues are very blatantly sidelined and made for humor which sometimes feels like a bit much for me.

Anyways, if you want a pretty looking and pretty funny movie that'll definitely continue to make a stupid amount of money, it is well worth it!",7
"If you can get over mediocre acting, less then stellar writing, and ""science"" that would make Neil DeGrasse Tyson get an aneurism, you will find good fun for the whole family in this show.

Just be careful if you or one of your kids are diabetic, the amount of Oreo product placement in this show will make them go blind.",4
"Again, the jellied brains at corporate Hollywood approved the production of a garbage story that goes nowhere and does nothing. Couldn't feel any empathy with any of the characters. Storyline seemed a jumbled mess of one-liners. MARVEL should be ashamed for their collaboration and participation in this.",2
"I found the show charming and entertaining but that's about it. Wednesday excels at everything. I understand child protégés which usually applies to 1-3 subjects but not Wednesday she excels at every single thing she encounters in the show. It becomes less worrisome for her character's survival when she's basically perfect and unbeatable. She's never challenged, always gets the last word, and can beat up groups of boys double her size without changing her facial expression. I'm pretty sure she is the next avenger. The other characters are pretty good. I like her roommate well enough. Sir Brienne of Tarth is great in her role as the headmistress.",4
"No training or leadership sets the course for 5 emotionless cardboard females with no physical training in survival or recon but all with Military Issued M-16s into an anamoly that has landed on earth and has grown to epic proportions. CGI was descent, storyline could have been better .. not good...",2
"The story of the film seems exciting and attractive, as there is interaction between the world of reality and the world of spirits. However, the dramatic plot was weak and was not terrifying at all.

At the end of the film, I felt like I was still in the middle of the story.

I cannot say an open ending story, as it seems to me that the story has not yet begun to end.

Although the story could have contained many events and actions, I found a movie about a troubled teenager more than terrifying horror movie.

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone at all as I already mentioned it is super over rated.",1
"I was hyped to watch Queens Gambit because of my friends's excitement about it. The beginning and middle is a bit dry. I tried to get into it though, and while I stopped watching for some weeks I eventually pulled through and I'm glad I did.

The costumes and the editing and the music is great, and the way Beth grows up through the fashion periods of the early to late 60s and before that in the 50s was nice to see.

The protagonist Beth waxes and wanes in terms of charisma, but eventually she does impress and you start to care for her and her dependence on drugs and alcohol.

I did feel however that whole chapter was brought to a close rather quickly in the final episode. But there were moments that did cause me to go misty eyed as Beth learns about how people have cared for her despite the trauma that made her an orphan.

Still, a solid series with an alluring lead actor and a range of dignified support characters that impress in their own way without the fanfare. A very good effort all around.",8
"I thought this show would be ""another"" boring superhero series. But I actually liked it, the characters development is slow, but they actually grow on you. I hated Ellen Page at the beginning, but then realized that she's not too bad after all. Give it a try",8
"As pure entertainment the movie succeeds, especially with such a stellar cast. As ""truth-telling"" goes, this movie, like others with similar subject matter, falls far short in succeeding. Perhaps this is due to the writers not knowing that the financial disaster portrayed in the movie would not have been possible without the Federal Reserves money-printing schemes.

Unless, and until, that part of the story is added to the equation people will not understand how such securitization madness was even possible. Without understanding this, the movie makes no sense and only one with a faulty understanding of the history of banking, money, financing and credit will buy into the ""capitalism is evil"" line and, I must add, something similar, or worse, will happen again. You can bet on it.

With this in mind I can only rate it 2 stars thanks only to the cast. Oh well, maybe next time...",2
"If you go to see Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Jeff Goldblum, Jude Law, Tilda Swinton, or Tom Wilkinson then you'll be disappointed. Their parts are something less than cameos and really don't give them an opportunity to do their thing.

What was great about The Life Aquatic was its spoof of Jacques Cousteau and his milieu, something specific and real to bounce the comedy off of. The Grand Budapest Hotel has no real-world anchor and thus it's just a silly farcical story. The self-important concierge, M. Gustave (Ralph Fiennes) takes himself, his position, and his hotel way too seriously. How much funnier it would have been had there been some real-world character to set Gustave against.

The film is set ambiguously in 1930s Europe, even the Nazi thugs are ambiguous; their SS insignia looks like the scribble of a lazy physics professor. The special effects are period too. There's a chase scene on skis and sled that is ridiculously low-tech. How much funnier it would have been if there was something real world to measure it against like Cousteau's 1970s seat-of-the-pants, do-it-yourself science in the hands of Bill Murray.

Then there is the fictional bakery, Mendl's, whose cakes and confections try to be funny, but suffer from the same lack of a real-world counterpoint. It just doesn't carry the comic weight of Bill Murray's ship the Belafonte in Life Aquatic because there is no Calypso to measure it against. For those of you who don't know, Calypso was Cousteau's real-world research vessel. The comic jolt comes when you realize that Harry Belafonte was a famous calypso singer back then. It's brilliant little details like that, that made me roar at Life Aquatic but that are sorely lacking in Budapest.",5
"This is one of the best movie I have watched ever. New pattern of storytelling Crime, love,comedy, suspense, twist,fear were mixed in a perfect ratio.",10
"Perhaps I liked this movie even better than the first part, although of course the originality was partly gone. That aside, I'm pretty sure this is one of the best sequels that were ever written. It's a movie in itself, and I feel it goes much deeper than Godfather part I. The movie explores the dark side of being involved in crime, it's clearly more melancholy, it's again very atmospheric, especially New York in the yearly years of the 20th century. De Niro and Pacino are, as always, fantastic. They portray profound characters, scary and touching at the same time. It's 3.5 hours of sheer delight.",10

"Dialogue is only ever yelled.

Characters are lucky to have one dimension.

Plot is entirely predictable.

I honestly couldn't get through four full episodes of this anime. The fans of the show talk about it like it's legendary and unmissable, but it's mediocre and very missable.",2
"A total waste of time except for some of the acting (Bullock) and special effects. Plot so weak as to almost be non-existent, many incongruous events, dialog no better than that expected of a ""B"" movie. I am SO glad I didn't waste money viewing this and waited until it was broadcast. As stated, some of the special effects were amazing but others were downright insulting to the intelligence of those who aren't mesmerized by actor's over-rated reputations. Clooney was weak to the point of being irrelevant. The directing was, at best, amateurish. The necessity of having 10 lines in order to qualify for submission is much like this movie; stupid.",1
"Thoroughly disappointing comic book film that spends far too much time explaining where the suit comes from, why and how it is made etc etc and not nearly enough time demonstrating the suit's abilities. Basically, there's not enough action. Robert Downey Junior does what can reasonably be expected with his 1 dimensional womanising misogynist whist everyone else barely registers on the radar. There's a ridiculous sexual subtext between RDJ and his PA and some blokes from a shadowy government agency appear twice, without reason, then disappear again after doing nothing in particular. All in all a waste of screen time for most of those concerned.",3
"Did Marty Scorcese fall asleep in front of his movieola or lose his place editing the last two thirds of this film involving vapid characters in wild pursuit of cash with no depth to flesh out other than a team spirit equal in locker room adrenalin to halftime at Ohio State. After a couple of overlong Rocknesque team motivating speeches channeling Andrew Dice Clay along the way Lenny and Wolf of Wall St. hits a dead end with nowhere to go but from one drug fueled, sex crazed Bachannalian bash to the next while staying a step or two ahead of the feds.

Wolf starts fast with altruistic but ambitious Jason Belfort's ( Leonard DiCaprio) rise, stumble and meteoric burst by way of the penny stock trade to heading a major Wall St. firm. But less than halfway in Scorcese begins to audition acts for a comedy show slowing the pace in favor of DiCaprio and company giving us some stooge slapstick and dense straight man in scenes that neither build or deliver, just eat up endless minutes. The hedonistic office orgies, DiCaprio pep talks, the lust for coke, the reverence for Quaalude we get the first time, enough already.

DiCaprio also starts strong but is asked or was given free reign to emote beyond audience patience and he staggers to the finish with one over the top outburst after the next. A scene (one of many) where a nostalgic return to some revered drug goes awry and we are treated to Lenny crawling from the interior of a dwelling down the stairs across the lot and into his Ferrari. It is a scene emblematic of Scorcese's self indulgence and sluggish pace. Halving it (no less) may have salvaged it. At least it would not have wasted so much of your time.

The rest of the cast is relegated to throwaway inanity (save for a charismatic cameo by Matt McConaughy as a high powered trader) and team spirit in one noisy scene after the next that just goes in the same circle over and over and over eventuating in a dull payoff. Face it, his films have gotten longer and lousier. The Wolf of Wall St. has no bite it simply howls and howls and howls.",4
"I found the plot nonsense from reading it's summary keeled but even then decided to give it a shot in the hopes that the screenplay would be better. But I kept and kept on waiting. Alas nothing at all made sense! This movie is such a waste of time and will kill your brain cells. I can't wrap my head around the ratings of this film. The actor looks nothing like a hero. In fact looks so ordinary that he would need to fight to even be a background extra in a Bollywood film. Apparently people are happy that there are no item songs and only regular scenes that printed the story. But what kind of story is this? Amateur hour at it's peak. Even the direction is not great. In fact it's such a mediocre production. Poor acting, shoddy screenplay, worst writing, this film has all the bad points. Not one god one. It was so boring that I would not mind one two unnecessary songs. At least it would have been more interesting than the crap scenes which were in the movie (even purely average tunes).

I haven't watched a worse and time wasting movie than this ever in my life. I do badly wish I'd get my 2 1/2 hours back. This is the worst ever thing. The absolute worst and I hate Indian audiences for having such bad taste for liking such rubbish films.",1
"Surprised that people feel this is a fitting homage to great prior musicals. Much as I LOVE Ryan Gosling and admire Emma Stone, they do not hold a candle stub to great dancers and singers like Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Gene Kelly, Cyd Charisse, Judy Garland, John Travolta.

Both Gosling and Stone are adequate dancers, okay, but just not in the same class as the aforementioned. And both have embarrassingly weak voices...yes, sometimes their weaknesses border on the touching, but give me Ethel Merman, or Bing Crosby or Ethel Waters or Hoagy Carmichael. And if you like touchingly amateur song delivery, check out Toni Erdmann.

Add to their lack of musical talent and only adequate dancing the weak plot and the shallow characterizations and you might, like the three people I saw it with, emerge from the theater downcast and glum.",4
"What a movie full of emotions.

Hero did a fantastic acting and kudos to the makers for making dog act well and able to deliver what was required for the scenes.

Our whole family loved the movie and in the climax everyone was crying. If a movie touches you so emotionally, how can you rate it less than 10.",10
"Wish I could rate this 7.5 and it makes me consider down rating several movies I have rated 8. The movie is just a lot of fun as it tell a re-imagination of the Wall Street Putsch or ""Business Plot"". I think part of the mixed reviews is that there is a sub-conscious part of US Culture psyche to dislike pointing out the fragility of our political system and its connection with Race. And on the flip side those with a better grasp of Racial history would find this watered down treatment of race of Jim Crow America bordering approaching pure fantasy in its inaccuracy. The performances were great and the voiceover gives the movie a emotional punch above its weight. It is off beat in pace but that is the intention. I believe that was the point, to highlight how life it's a neat consistent logical story all the time which does suggest some kind of thrill ride without long periods of the mundane in between. I highly recommend this under appreciated gem. It is reminiscent of No Country for Old Men without the darkness and ambiguous ending. Disappointing this did not turn a profit in it's theatrical release. I would like to see more directors and writers get a chance to take creative narrative chances with A-list ensemble castes.",7
"Who writes this stuff? This was worse than those b-comedy movies from the 80s like Caddyshack 2, or Summer Job. Ryan Reynolds will literally take any job. Jason Bateman too.

It's almost like they're just cashing it in until they become irrelevant. Just terrible.

Lazy writing, cliche situations, predictable storyline.... Eye rolling, gratuitous potty humour. Unnecessary drug use; but it's cool, dude.

Oh, I thought of another trash 80s movie that fits this genre -- ""18 Again"" with George Burns and some noname kid. They switch bodies and you already know it's just an hour and a half of pure cringe. Just like Change-Up.",1
This move was hyped a lot when it fist came out. Great special effects but it wasn't enough. It fell short of the hype. Character development was nonexistent and there was zero chemistry. Story line was beyond weak.,4
"Stupid, senseless and waste of time. Not entertaining for a single second. Felt fake and manufactured. Viewers are let down as no learning is imparted and there is no takeaway.

TVF had decent content but this is below zero. Even 1 star is too much. The series is so bad and the characters are so unlikable that you want bad things to happen to them.

There is no background theme, no character definition and story progression.

Looked like a very poorly performed improv set Please save your precious time and watch Shark Tank videos on youtube. Better watch DD and other good channels for good content.",1
"Overall I enjoyed this show, I'm not gonna give you my comic book nerd resume but it's 25 yrs long. I would give it a 7.5 I just want to add that the people who are giving individual episodes or the whole series a 10 don't know how the rating system works. 10 is absolute perfection, that doesn't exist imo.",7
"The story is a cliche and the performance is awful, I wonder how people thought of comparing it to the Saving Private Ryan.",1

"This is the first movie i'm marking with one star... ever. The movie is an insult to women. The nudity in the movie is ugly.

Do not lose your time and money to watch it.

I left the theatre in about 20 minutes of watching and it wasn't just me who left the cinema.",1
"What's scary about this movie is how sad it is. If you like horror movies that make you feel sad and sick and disappointed in humanity, you might like this one.

The directing and acting was excellent, don't get me wrong. The lead character was brilliantly wicked and scary, but at the same time so utterly miserable, that I felt uncomfortable. I don't know who I was supposed to side with or feel for here, because as we all know, it's usually the main character. But I would never ever want to side with anyone like Mia.

The story was just plain amoral and depressing. If I were gen Z, I might actually feel offended, because this film made me frustrated with them.",3
"Problem is, Hannah just makes too many bad decisions and i just couldn't care less about what happened to her. I'm just glad she's gone. I forced myself to watch the first episode, and i started the 2nd one but i couldn't handle more than a few minutes. I know it's not really a show aimed at 30 yeard old guys, but i had way more fun and could relate more with cartoon characters like Korra from ""The Legend of Korra"". And thing is, she is dead, so there is no ""redemption arc"", she will never become a likable character, and she killed herself, so there's not even a ""who done it"" hook to keep me interested in that side of the story. I guess the acting was good, can't really do much better when your directions are to act dumb or look like you're constantly in awe(as is the case of the main guy). Kudos to those who managed to slog through both seasons, you have way more patience than i could ever muster.",3
"Lady Gaga had a good performance and Copper continues to demostrate his talent. I went into the movie expecting a great movie based on reviews but by the end was disappointed. The first 30-40 minutes are good then it's just downhill from there. The rest of the movie feels like a drag. The best thing is the music, the last song it's very good.",5
"Rated 3 star because of lack of ingenuity and creativity! A similar movie has already been made by Hollywood and also in a different language! Seems like Bollywood has completely lost the plot and no original thought comes out of the writer, producer or director.",3
The third season is a complete failure. Im veeery disappointed.,2
"Having never heard of the books or games before this show I won't comment on the plot or characters. What I will say is why has Hollywood still not learned to do Scottish accents right??? He may have been a smaller part but the dwarf with the awful overdone fake Scottish accent almost ruined the whole show for me. As a Scot myself I love when someone can do a good accent but too often it's butchered and used as a gimmick which is infuriating. Hire an actual Scottish actor, they do exist.",6
"I went in with the mindset that this movie wouldn't live up to the original, and I wasn't disappointed. Very similar scripts with the 1995 version but the emotion was completely lost. I realize it's more of a ""realistic"" rendition but make the actors have some heart with their lines. Each emotional scene was ruined with the deadpan delivery of some great lines. I couldn't hear a difference of feeling from when a character was mad or happy. Those are two very different emotions. Disney, MAKE SOMETHING ORIGINAL I BEG YOU. This movie had a truly talented cast, but not for this movie.",4
"If we remove some logic then It's a good serie.

Logic means , I don't know why in every series when the main lead actors face life threatening situations they never died. I was hoping they gonna kill max but... they didn't and I'm sure at the end series she's gonna fine. These things for me completely ruined the interest of watching series like ""when they are facing death and still survive like BRO nothing happens all GOOD

Overall the series is good and I really enjoyed the show . :)",8
These shows won't have nothing to do with actually movies.,3
The show was really good in my opinion. It had a really different style from Wandavision and The Falcon and the winter soldier. The final of this season was kinda disappointing but there will be a season 2 so that's great.,9
"Meaning no disrespect to the many who died as a result of the lies and inaction during this event, this mini series bores me.",5
"After looking at the trailer, I thought this movie was a comedy. It is not. The story is about the common misconception of the American African American community. Everyone take out your PC handbook and walk carefully through the maze of what is and what is not acceptable. If not, there are people waiting to use this code to beat you to a pulp.

Sure enough I get how this film was overdue because of the portrayal of many in a group is just not right. What I find annoying about this film, specially after complaining how pathetic, ridiculous stereotypes are, is how they have one gay character who has most of all the pathetic reductions of being gay.

The writer's joke is how African Americans are exhaustingly stereotyped wrong and yet. They place a gay, muscular, married man, with very tight clothes, who is a drug user and has lots of sexual encounters outside of his heterosexual marriage. BAM !

Stereotypes for the African Americans is ridiculous but let's go ahead and throw all these exhausting gay stereotypes on our gay character.

For me the movie was not funny; it was one sad situation after the next with their own disdain of stereotyping smack in it.",4
"The Germans were just as good if not superior riflemen and sharp shooters than the Brits. These two ""superheroes"" would've been toast once they encountered the enemy if it was a documentary, but alas it's an entertaining movie.",7
"I tend to agree with many of the reviewers here ... A Discovery of Witches is a collection of supernatural fiction cliches looking for a good storyline. I get that I'm not the target audience, but the faux-Mills-and-Boon romantic shenanigans get pretty tiresome pretty quickly.

But even more than the terrible dialogue is the terrible sound mixing. The underscore is ridiculously loud and the dialogue is so muffled that it almost impossible to hear ... which is almost, but not quite, a mercy.

On balance, the rewards are too few to battle through the awful sound quality ... I've had enough now.",2
"While the story and the visuals are outstanding, at the third or fourth view I can better understand the flaws that I noticed from the start. After all, the plot is quite simple, and the dialogues are irritantingly obvious and full of exposition. So, once you get accustomed to the wow-moments, little remains aside some very good eye-candy. Nolan is clearly the most overvalued director of this time. He's a visionary, but not a good writer or director. At the end of the day, Interstellar is a masterpiece in his concept and will forever retain an history-making value, but it's not that good cinematographically speaking. 6.5 stars.",6
"Zero plot, even tamil action movies contain more and faster plot changes. Poor representation of Dhaka. The language is not even close to actual Bangla. The direction of the movie was biased. The director targeted indian film industry but forgot that Bangladeshi people will also watch the movie. Why try to stage the whole plot as Dhaka when you cannot even shoot the movie there? Totally waste of time.",1
"Basically this is the great films wgich show how not to discriminate within caste and good efforts put on by every artist playing in film, this is so realistic hats off to nagraj manjule for direction and ajay atul for music and abviously the great actor Amitabh bachan,",10
"There are some strong aspects to this film, including the cinematography and the acting. But this movie is way overly complicated for no other reason than to make the viewer feel smart. The story is just a mess, and entire premise of the film feels like such a reach for this incredibly deep and complex meaning which just feels like it falls on its face. The movie isn't hard to follow, even if you're hammered. There are some scenes I enjoy but overall I would never choose to watch it again. I think Nolan is a solid director and he has some films I really enjoy, but this one just feels like he was trying so hard. 5/10.",5
"I'm a fan of the original series, loving all things sci-fi. As such, I went into this series very hesitant; I saw the movie with ""Joey"" and was beyond disappointed. However, once I started watching this show, I couldn't stop. I watched seasons one and two back to back in one sitting. The show is absolutely amazing. The plot is similar to the original series but with a lot more to offer. The plot isn't as simple as being lost as a single family, but rather as part of a group of survivors with whom the Robinsons have regular contact and interactions. Their goal of course being to ""get home"", but to their new home on Alpha Centauri.

You will have to suspend a good bit of belief as there is a lot of wrong science in the film. Having a good bit of college-level physics, at times it gets so bad that I have to cringe a bit, but this is to be expected (sound in space anyone?). But I do like the heavy focus on science to solve problems, and the ability of the Robinsons to apply the science is great. Although they do seem to be invincible, being able to fix every problem the first go-around. From what I've read for season three, this is going to change, and I think it will make the show a lot better.

The focus on the robot, which has a completely different origin, is also amazing. He does look goofy in my opinion, but he is a great plot point throughout the series. His similarities to the original robot are tenuous at best, but as you'll see it ties very much into how the show progresses, becoming more apparent as the series moves on to discover his origins and purpose. And of course we don't learn everything, but we do learn a lot.

Dr. Smith. Awesome. Parker Posey does an amazing job as our new female Dr. Smith, a nice change from our typical all-white male cast. The level of evil is offset by her desire to do good, but she still is self-serving, only have a few minutes of actually doing good. She's not the blanket character as was the case in our original series, but rather a complicated character with internal struggles, and as I said, a lot of self-serving behavior, even when she does seemingly good acts. And just a quick note, Judy being bi-racial is another good change to the show. The diversity isn't really played out enough and I'd like to see more of this.

I can't recommend this series enough. If you like sci-fi coupled with action, this is a great show for you. And if you don't, at least watch the first couple of episodes and see if you get hooked. If the first few don't get you, you probably won't like the rest of the series. But give it a try and see what you think. I was blown away, but it's understandably not for everyone.",9
"This premise had so much promise, but the way it was done was horrible! They tried so hard to be funny, but it was cringey instead. Most Marvel movies are solid to great, but this one wasn't even a 5 out of 10 stars for me. Very poorly scripted (no fault of the actors), it just fell very short! You did not feel a connection to any of the characters. I felt like I had a perpetual shrug going on in my head! I want that 2 hrs back!",4
"Season 1 was superb, especially liked the humor. I missed the same humor in season 2, it took itself a little to serious i think.",9
"The film convinces as a period drama, though some soldiers, who should look pinched and ration-fed, are well nourished and handsome. Yet the story works, with the action swelling like a wave, then suddenly delivering a slap in the face. From above, we see a pilot ditching his damaged Spitfire in the sea, and the procedure runs smoothly; later, another flier does the same, and we stay with him as he lands. A tumult of water rushes toward him and fills the cockpit at alarming speed, while he batters on the canopy above, which refuses to slide open. Smoothness, viewed from another angle, collapses into the roughness of panic. All becomes darkness and deluge. Humans turn into creatures of the deep. A pale hand flickers like a fish. The cast is overall strong, with Murphy giving a convincing performance, though not that long in terms of time.",7
"Loki, the first Marvel Villain, who nearly destroyed the earth - is now a clown that hearts affirming women because they are better at everything.

Please stop doing this DISNEY.",2
"If There had been an option to write separate reviews for the first and second season, the reviews would have been completely different.

Sure, season 1 had its problems, but still it had many strengths. Some episodes were really powerful, while others failed in realism. Regardless of the flaws I could not stop watching the first season.

Now, on the other hand, I have to force myself to keep watching the second season, and to be honest I doubt I'll finish it. It is as if completely different people are making the second season, people who didn't really watch, or at least did not understand what season 1 was about.

For example, one of the protagonists (the living one) suffers from an immense frustration, brilliantly portrayed, I might add, over the fact that he has so many questions to ask the dead girl, and so much to say, but he can't because... well, she's dead. And now in season 2 she's back in the shape of some kind of mental ghost with enough agency to act as her living self. More, in fact, like a ghost than a memory. And all of a sudden, one of the more gripping things about the first season is gone. Completely. Like most other things that made the first season powerful.

That said, watch the first season and leave it at that.",2
"Because its Marvel, i gave it a chance to impress me... i would never normally watch a sitcom style show. because it part of the Marvel CU i held it to a higher standard than normal TV show/films.

disapointing on all fronts... its just slow and the pay offs are sub par. the fake press before hand teasing amazing cameos was cheap! - just give me spider man swinging in to punch someone.

i dont care if some of the pay offs for this season are in the next films.. it still makes this a boring season.

Kat Dennings was cool.",4
"As a movie portraying a small slice of WWI ... probably a 9 As a movie for entertainment ... for me, a 6. Why?

Because scene after scene was nothing but walking... walking for minutes on end through trenches ... walking for minutes on end through a field... walking up to a tree... walking walking walking but wait! A little running thrown in ...

Was the story compelling? Enough, yes. Was the acting good? Yes. Sets and production? All fine. But the overlong scenes of walking were SO long they took me out of the story. I felt like story time was being consumed unnecessarily.

At first (in the first long walking sequence) I kept thinking ok, it's gonna end now... then when it didn't... and didn't... and didn't... I thought ok, they want to make sure we get the experience of WWI and these soldiers in their trenches... how it was for them... but it went on for way too long in too many scenarios throughout the entire movie, not just in trenches, but everywhere they went. This movie would have been 45 minutes shorter with the walking cut down in each case to clearly make the point, while not making it overbearing.

I would not recommend this movie to anyone but a WWI enthusiast for that reason.",6
Do yourself a favour and read the book insted. The movie just appears random. Bad character development and the storyline is all over the place.,3
"1. Usual cheap hook of young teens facing bullies (stereotypically always bigger & meaner looking). Script designed for the mostly under 15 audience so main actors fit into that category w/usual mix of behaviors, genders, character types (nerds, athletes), race mix. 2. Lots of filming goofs (e.g. kitchen lights go out, but are on in next scene; 3 kids riding bikes; they all fall off; bikes disappear in next scene) which indicate to me little creative oversight + cheap production. 3. Over reliance on the age old human fears of things different. Always an us vs. them; same vs. not same mentality. Large spidery thingies; parasitic worms w/large mouth & many teeth; dark underground tunnels w/creeping vines to entangle you; lots of darkness. 4. More of the same old corporate/government power ethos of experimenting on people to create super anything. 5. Not creative dumbing down of super psychic abilities such as the overused & tiresome hook of controlling people's minds (don't we wish), and even more so control matter (amusingly w/out stretched hands w/screaming tossed in to represent painful effort). Neither one of which would get a passing grade from any half way intelligent middler schooler. Conclusion: Too much of a repeat of plot, character done many times before. F for creative writing. Passable grade if under 15 yrs old.",3
"Very weak storyline - made even worse by one of the worst lisps/speech impediments in tv history. Tried to watch this several times and got tired of rewinding and turning up the volume to make out the dialogue. Didn't help that the story was lame, predictable, and plodding. AVOID.",2
"A true 1 out of 10 film; We can't understand 75% of what they're saying. The filmmakers go for such historic authenticity, U.S.A. viewers won't be able to understand the dialogue in this film. Me and my elderly father were all ready to watch what looks to be a very well-made film, only to not be able to understand 75% of what they are saying. Completely unwatchable and we lasted 7 minutes into it before deciding we couldn't handle it. Why was this choice made? They didn't speak Russian in The Hunt for Red October past 10 minutes into it..right??",1

"I don't understand why I don't like this film and why everyone loves it so much, I'm a huge marvel, spider-man and animated movie fan but something about this movie just doesn't work for me. I think the animation is great and it has some funny moments but I just can't connect with the characters and the plot. It's not one of those things for me where I don't like it but I can see how others like it, but this movie makes me wonder how people like this movie so much because it just falls flat. Maybe the second one will make me change my mind but I've watched this film three times hoping my opinion would change but it unfortunately hasn't.",6
"Just seemed like the movie starts off ok introducing characters swimming in the late 60s vibe but just seems to float along aimlessly ,with all that talent and sound track at its disposal kind of a disappointment",6
"My overall review is the show is boring with no story line. Too many characters and camios make the plot tiring and senseless. The story till 4th episode is a father wins a lottery , has an accident and is admitted to hospital. His wife promises everyone to do some sort of charity work with the 11 crore lotttery. They have added filler love story and all to fill up the minutes. The whole plot could have been summarised in 1 episode.

The worst part is the lame chicle jokes , bandar tera mama , phata pajama and all make it irritating and lame.",3

Goosebumps, tears, and a wide smile, the emotions ride high as i end up writing my first review ever about a movie, Thats how much MY NAME IS KHAN has touched me. I have been wanting to watch this movie for so long, but somehow just never got around to it until tonight/last night. Overall family packed movie.",2
Definitely a one time watch and a very interesting one. Loved the different characters.,7
"Kind of a shame I had high expectations for this and I really shouldn't have. Look, the CGI is amazing as always! The movement of the symboites and the transformations are always on point. Tom Hardy plays his usual self and we love his relationship with Venom! Woody Harrelson as Carnage is the BEST thing in this film. Period! He is terrifying. The banshee lady was eh. The action was solid. That's all I gotta say. BUT these are only the main things that highlight the film. So much MORE could've been added to this movie plot wise, fight wise, and it could've been so much better. I can say you're gonna find more comedy in this one than the first one. However, the comedy is too overdone and overused. Meaning you laugh at it a couple times, but then it gets to a point where it just gets repetitive and then you just sit there with a forced laugh, a straight face and slightly annoyed. Kinda how I felt half of the movie, which is not good. I THINK that Carnage should've just been a movie by itself and only about him, THEN we have Venom vs Carnage. But unfortunately, too much felt crammed and rushed into this. If you're a fan of the first one, I still recommend you go see this one just to see what's up. I can say this though, you're gonna think it's nowhere near as the good as the first one and you'll see exactly why. P. S: You'll LOVE the post credit scene!",6
"The series started with each episode good or better than the last not one episode was bad or make you not watch it.

Then season 5 came and it was like a total different show it didn't had the soul of the previous seasons.

In season 6 in some episodes the plot was good but the actors were terrible and in others the actors were good but the plot was for the trash.

It is really sad because this series until season 4 had the same feeling like watching the twilight zone but that feeling was gone.

The only episode I really disliked ( in the good seasons ) was san jupitero but ok one rotten egg out of 5 it doesn't matter.

Anyway too bad for the series i hope with the new season it will find again the soul that lost though in an era were political ideologies are pushed to the movies series pretty much everywhere i doubt that black mirror will be what it was, a series with an air of the twilight zone that every episode showed how easily human can make everything wrong while believing it is good Could have been 10/10 but unfortunately 7/10.",7
"Bird Box is worth the watch if you're into post-apocolyptic stories. The acting is convincing and they've painted a great cinematic picture. I personally would loved to have seen this as a series rather than a movie, as this would give us more opportunity to learn about the why and how of these creatures, as well as the journey of survival within those 5 years separating the flashbacks, and what happens after the movie ends. It feels.. unfinished. Although the lack of clear answers is somewhat part of its charm, I'm disapointed that the filmmakers hintedat those unaffected (or shall we say, differently affected) being mentally disturbed. I would like to learn why the creatures affected them differently. This however leads into a rabit hole of other questions that the movie left unanswered, so perhaps they purposely left us in suspense. Another option is that they opted for a cheap secondary antagonist without giving it much back story, but I don't know if this was was perhaps explained in the book but the movie left it out. What still makes it a 7 for me, is that Bird Box managed to stick in my head for some time after watching. All in all the level of entertainment I got from wondering about this story was perhaps just as fun as watching the movie itself.",7

Love the smart women and how the family always comes together with each of their unique strengths working to save them- some more and some less each episode. It's a nice balance focusing on the different kids. A fun journey of escapism during this time.",9
"Nothing new, the same pueril boring awkward talking and little action that Marvel has got us used to. The idea was not bad, but it was exposed badly, too many episodes, many things unnecessary. Such as Agatha too, who was not comic accurate imo. Yes she is younger, but they could make her like in the X men Evolution, old, wise, serious and overpowered,but that's me, I only watched it because I wanted to know if it will be related to the next movie Wanda will appear in. Waste of time mostly, but it was good to see some attractive women, wink wink. Peace!",7
I can't believe some of these reviews giving this show high ratings and it is absolutely terrible. An 8.4 rating? I love Steve Martin. But this is very badly done. Couldn't make it past the second episode.,4
"I wouldn't think that a series that started so well would end badly so the first 2 episodes were really great. I thought it would be a quality detective or murder series that the first(first two episodes went exactly like this)as the series progresses and how many mystical creatures enter the events it got so ridiculous and bad in the drama.Especially the last part was probably the part I didn't like the most.

It was a successful drama, but just as a good start is important, it's harder and more important to keep going.This drama failed to do that, but it's still worth watching. The acting is really good and the subject is actually not bad.",7
"URI portrays the Indian Army's surgical strikes with utmost visual delight combat scenes accompanied by appropriate background sound-track.

"Such a shame, wasted potential of (borrowed) storyline, scenery and great CGI.

"Pretty naff script brought down further by some rather mediocre performances all round i have to say. As always in a drama if i do not care about what happens to the central characters namely Lily and Forest in this, then it fails. And this does fail. It looks nice, the world building is very good but not exactly Blade Runner in scale more Minority Report.

Also 8hrs of story is dragged out, it could have been much more concise maybe half the number of episodes of better quality. Over the 8hrs its just messy and cant decide if it wants to be dark espionage, meditative quantum universe theory or character drama.",4
"Released in 2016, ""Captain America: Civil War"" chronicles Cap (Chris Evans) leading an Avengers mission that results in the loss of many innocents. As a result, the Federal government and UN, represented by Everett K. Ross (Martin Freeman), want to take the reins of The Avengers. While Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and a few others reluctantly support this measure, Cap, Falcon (Anthony Mackie) and some others categorically oppose it, which naturally pits the team against one another. Meanwhile, villains like Zemo (Daniel Brühl), Crossbones (Frank Grillo) are on the loose, creating further problems.

I'm a big fan of Steve Englehart's outstanding run on the comic in the '70s, which was the precursor to Mark Gruenwald's notable work 10-20 years later (his run lasted a whole decade!). What I loved about the comic was the relatively realistic tone, the interesting relevant issues and the fact that Cap & Falcon were the perfect representation of the USA. You'll see these elements in ""Captain America: Civil War."" The occasional interludes with Cap's babe, Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp), are reminiscent of the comic. Speaking of The Falcon, I like the way the writers took the basic concept and made him better; for instance, the way his wings deflect bullets and the nature of his 'pet falcon' Redwing.

Since the plot ties into Cap's leadership in The Avengers we get numerous guest stars in addition to the ones already mentioned: Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), The Vision (Paul Bettany), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) and War Machine (Don Cheadle). As if that wasn't enough we also get Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), The Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) and, believe it or not, freakin' Spider-Man (Tom Holland), with a glorified cameo of a hot Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), lol. How the movie can juggle all these characters and keep it from getting out of hand is uncanny.

Lastly the core question of the titular 'civil war' is interesting and timely: Should the government usurp control over The Avenger's autonomy? Should this incredible team of superhumans become the pawns of the government? Captain America rightly says ""No way.""

The movie runs 147 minutes and was shot in Puerto Rico, Atlanta, Germany, Iceland and Brazil.

GRADE: A (8.5/10)",9
"""Avatar: The Last Airbender"" is an animated television series that aired on Nickelodeon from 2005 to 2008. The show is set in a world divided into four nations, each of which is associated with an element: Water, Earth, Fire, and Air. The series follows the adventures of Aang, the last Airbender and the Avatar, as he and his friends try to save the world from the Fire Nation.

The series is a masterpiece of storytelling, worldbuilding, and character development. It tackles complex themes such as imperialism, war, and personal identity with maturity and nuance, all while still being a show that can be enjoyed by audiences of all ages. It's no wonder that it has become a classic in the realm of animated television.

One of the standout features of ""Avatar: The Last Airbender"" is its exceptional worldbuilding. The show's creators, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, spent years developing the lore, history, and geography of the show's world. Each nation has its own distinct culture, architecture, and philosophy, and the show does an excellent job of exploring the nuances of each society. This attention to detail makes the world feel alive and vibrant, and draws the audience in.

The characters in the show are another strong point. Each one is well-developed and multi-dimensional, with their own strengths, flaws, and unique personalities. The show doesn't shy away from depicting the complexity of its characters, even its villains. For example, Prince Zuko, the primary antagonist for the first two seasons, undergoes a significant character arc that explores his motivations, struggles, and eventual redemption.

The first half of the series is often cited as the strongest, but that's not to say that the second half is weak by any means. While the first half of the series lays the foundation for the world and characters, the second half builds upon that foundation to deliver a satisfying and emotional conclusion. The series finale, in particular, is a masterclass in storytelling, bringing all of the show's themes and character arcs to a poignant and satisfying conclusion.

Overall, ""Avatar: The Last Airbender"" is a must-watch series for anyone who appreciates excellent storytelling and worldbuilding. It's a show that has stood the test of time and continues to inspire new generations of fans. With its compelling characters, rich lore, and powerful themes, it's no wonder that the show has earned its place as a classic of the genre. It deserves a 10/10 rating for its exceptional quality and lasting impact on the medium of animation.",10
"Oh dear. Love GDT but this is painful, predictable, saccharine and tedious. Yes I get it, I just don't like it. The only draw is Shannon, who is as creepy and menacing as ever, although honorable mention to Octavia Spencer. If Amelie was your thing, if 40s musicals pull on a heart string, then if you don't mind the addition of random acts of violence to make us think this is more than it is, then you will probably love it. For me, and it's obviously a very personal preference, I don't like either and I didn't.",2
Superbad is one of the rare comedies that have a well thought out and meaningful storyline without being cheesy. This movie is one of the few movies that make me literally laugh until I cry. Everyone was perfectly casted. Michael Cera's awkward and anxious personality and Jonah Hill's chaotic and crude personality complement each other beautifully. One of the best comedies of all time.,9
"Hugh Jackman has been the face of Wolverine on the big screen since the first live action X-Men movie way back in 2000. Since then not only has he appeared as the character nine times on the big screen, but he has voiced the character twice in video games. No matter your opinion or my opinion of this movie, the fact will always remain that Hugh Jackman will always be remember as an excellent Wolverine. The following is my review of Logan.

Logan takes place in the future, and one of my biggest problems of this film was how they ignored a great deal of the past films, even films that were meant to set up future events, like in X-Men: Apocalypse. I understand wanting to strike while the iron is hot with a R rated comic book movie, and the character of Wolverine truly lends himself nicely to the R rating, but as a fan of the character overall, I wanted more. While the film doesn't completely skip over past events, there are too many plot points they did skip over. Director James Mangold, who also directed the previous Wolverine film(The Wolverine) even skips over plot details he had in that film. While I didn't care for the lapse in story, I thought the overall film was average, I cannot even deny that the action scenes directed by Mangold are stellar works of art for a comic book film. He utilizes the R rating perfectly, and truly brings out the character of Wolverine for the first time in this aspect.

Another great aspect of the film is the acting. Lead by Hugh Jackman in the title role, the supporting cast of Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier and Dafne Keen as Laura/X-23 make this one of the best all around best Marvel films in terms of acting. Even though my feelings about the story bring down my rating for this film, I want to emphasize that the action and acting in this film alone is worth the price of admission.

Marco Beltrami is the composer of the film, another highlight of the film. While he is known for composing many films that aren't considered good, no matter my opinion of this film, Beltrami delivers greatness in this score.

In closing, Logan in my opinion is a film that suffers from a bad story, a classic arch from the comics that was rushed into because of the success of Deadpool. Nearly every other area of the film delivers well enough to watch, maybe even more than once, but it doesn't delivery enough to make me give this a good rating or higher. Even though I give the film a mixed review, it is still worth the watch for the action scenes alone.

"The serie started well with an interesting concept , but ended up being "" all flash and no substance"" especially the last 2 or 3 episodes. I forced myself to watch the whole serie to see how it ended, but that was a complete waste of time.",3
"I was in the military. We kept each other's back whether we liked them or not. This is one reason the military is, usually, such a bonding lifelong experience. The violation of core trust (in the movie) upset me more than I could ever imagine.

Of course, I live in a bubble. These things and types of people (and organizations) exist and live their lives with no remorse. It is good that this movie brings this most unpleasant fact to life.

This is storytelling at its best.

The only consolation, for me, is that it his heartless actions cost him the life long respect and bond of his child.",4
"J. K. Rowling has mesmerized our generation with her books but she SUCKS at writing Movie Scripts !!! This movie has some of the most nonsensical & lazy screenwriting that I have ever seen. Scene to scene transition happens with no coherence, most of the time I couldn't follow what the hell was going on because the scenes were flying with no time given to settle down. Character Development is Zero. Sound design was also weird. Cinematography & Visual effects were gorgeous but those things will never be able to compensate for bad writing. The whole film is just a setup for the next one & I don't care about the next one. Please stop ruining your own legacy.",5
Really after a long time....finally a good movie with awsome storyline....just a small issue story has a fast pace story should really need time to buildup cherecter devlopment..I think if it would be a series...

"They ""killed"" the book. The movie just follows the main idea of the book and nothing more. Details are off. Many things have nothing to do with the book.

As some people complain, yes at the end u don't get explanations not even in the book.",2
"The first hour and twenty could have been 15-20 minutes. Made for a slow boring start to the movie. If the movie didn't start so poorly I probably would have rated the movie a 6 because the second half was an okay superhero movie. It's in keeping with Marvel's campy scripts, acting etc. Tom Holland makes a good spider man. Making him the guiding light is pushing it. He's super immature and really should have been guided by Tobey Maquire's spider man. The ending of the movie gives you hope that they'll return to spider man not the iron spider this series seemed to be pushing.

Even those who hated Loki in the first movie will love him this time, it shows us why Loki does all those, even though his way was wrong his motive was something very good and he really loved his mother, father and his brother. The best scenes in the first episode are the D. B. Cooper scene and infinity stones.",8
"I was really looking forward to this series. The books are excellent. Unfortunately, the script adaptation did not result in the same ""magic"". I found the characters unbelievable due to the pacing, transitions and odd dialogue which felt unnatural. There is some good acting with, imo, the exception of Theresa Palmer who plays Diana Bishop, but this just cannot make up for the poor script. I actually found Diana Bishop annoying, despite how engaging her character is in the novel.",2
"Okay, let me preface my short and sweet comment with this. I love love love Ryan Reynolds and I only watched the first 20 minutes of the movie. Why? Because I couldn't take it. I feel like I want to say that in my whiny voice. I couldn't take it. The first 15 minutes was nothing but a car chase. A car chase that went on way too long. I couldn't get into the dialogue because I was exhausted watching the car chase. Ugh! I gave it 3 stars because of Ryan. That's it. So sorry because I wanted to really love it!",3
"We all knew barbie was going to be funny. We all knew it'd have something to say about the ""female coming-of-age,"" as all of greta gerwig's movies have thus far. And we all knew margot robbie and ryan gosling would turn in note-perfect performances as barbie and ken. And they did.

What i didn't know was how much barbie would mean - not truly, not fully. How much it would mean to me, to the women sitting to my left and right, to all of us. The depth and breadth of its central message was something i couldn't have ever anticipated, despite having the utmost faith in greta gerwig at every twist and turn. And even though i'd been looking forward to this film for years (five, in fact), it hit me right when i needed it most.

A movie about growing up and realizing womanhood isn't all pink, pleasure, and possibility. Realizing that much of the world will hate you - always - no matter what you do, simply because of who you are. Realizing that there comes a point when you either have to accept complacency within the patriarchy, or ostracization and vilification outside of it.

Or, maybe there's another way. Maybe womanhood isn't all the fun and freedom we dreamed up in our youth, but maybe we don't have to abandon it entirely either. Maybe, just maybe, once we accept and begrudgingly embrace the often brutal reality of our everyday existence - while still retaining our inner strength at the same time - we can better reconcile all these cultural complications and contradictions and find a way to move through the world cautiously, but authentically. Reveling in our - and the world's - flaws instead of willfully overlooking them in favor of the ""fantasy."" at long last.

I learned these lessons a little late, because i started living as a woman a little late. In fact, i still have some learning to do. And sometimes, that scares me. But movies like this - art like this - make that education just a little bit easier. So thank you, barbie. You're everything. And so am i.",10
"The hype-machine has done it again! Convinced everyone that if you don't find this movie outstanding then you are just not that smart.

The plot is really not that hard to understand. Cobb job is to steal ideas from people's minds, which is done in their dreams during dream-sharing. Cobb wants to go home to his children, but cannot because he has been accused of murdering his wife. By planting a dream in a persons mind, some powerful people will clear his name, so he can see his children again. Pretty simple.

The main problem with this movie is the plot holes and irregularities in the rules set up during the movie. Eg. what is the point to the architect? How can the dream devices be in the dreams whit-in a dream (did the architect put them there, and how?)? You can hear through many levels of dreaming, but not feel twisted gravity? Can people just fall a sleep on demand? etc. etc. etc.

Even if one did not care about plot holes, there is an even bigger problem with the movie! There are plots going on at the same time on four levels of dreaming. Because we have to jump back and forth all the time the plot loses its intensity and depth.

On the positive side, the movie has excellent acting and visuals. The idea is relatively original (cough the matrix, cough Tron, cough any worlds-within-another-word movies). Its good to see some new-thinking in Hollywood instead of crap like Transformers, sequels and remakes.

All together the movie is nothing but mediocre. Lets hope that The Expendables will live up to the hype, else this will have been a pretty bad action movie season!",6
"Following the events of Endgame where Steve Rogers entrusted Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie) with the shield and mantle of Captain America, Sam has yet to adopt the mantle and continues his missions under his current identity and eventually reluctantly retires the Shield and the Captain America name to the government for display in the Smithsonian. Meanwhile James ""Bucky"" Barnes (Sebastian Stan) the former Winter Soldier has been pardoned for his assistance in fighting Thanos and tries to make amends with his troubled past and the people he wronged. When an anti-patriotism group known as the Flag Smashers lead by Karli Morgenthau (Erin Kellyman) begin fighting against the Global Repatriation Council that is trying to forcefully relocate several ""Blip"" survivors, Bucky and Sam team up to try and stop the Flag Smashers and their violent activities across Europe. Meanwhile matters are further complicated by the emergence of John Walker (Wyatt Russell) as the new Government sponsored Captain America.

Another standalone mini-series focusing on secondary characters in the MCU similar to Wandavision, much like Wandavision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier saw massive viewership and solid reviews from critics and audiences even if the pacing was sometimes subject to criticism. Malcolm Spellman pitched his take on a series focusing on Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson with Feige interested in exploring these characters due to their popularity with audiences in the Captain America films and the series would be used as a springboard to properly set-up Sam Wilson as Captain America following Endgame's retirement of Steve Rogers. While The Falcon and the Winter Soldier certainly feels big and epic falling in line with the level of quality seen in the Captain America films, it also feels like it's slightly more unwieldy and unfocused and would've worked better as a film than a series.

To start off on a positive note Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie continue to be great as Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson respectively, and the show does a good job of setting up and exploring the void left in a world without Captain America and the weight that is placed on Sam's shoulders as a result. You really do get a sense of Sam's hesitance at adopting the Captain America mantle especially in a world that post Blip has reverted back to its worst aspects. We also get some solid follow-ups with Bucky Barnes who still carries the weight and guilt of his Winter Soldier days and the fact that both characters have a connection to Steve Rogers' Captain America with both having been best friends with him makes for a solid connecting point that allows for good character moments between the two. The action is really on point for a TV series with many of the action beats being just as good as presented in the Captain America films and there's a nice level of grit and impact to the action sequences in comparison to some of the more CGI heavy entries in the MCU.

I think however despite the show having some really good ideas and a pair of charming an engaging leads, the story does feel its shift in writing from Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely of the Captain America films to Malcolm Spellman in that while Spellman tries to manage a large ensemble in the same manner as Markus and McFeely, he doesn't balance the large ensemble as well with the narrative often feeling cluttered with a lot of points that don't feel as cohesive as they should. While I liked the idea of the morally conflicted setup that felt like a thematic continuation of ideas presented in Winter Soldier and Civil War, I often felt as though there were too many characters and tangents in the story that made the experience feel less streamlined than it should've been. This particularly shows in characters such as Erin Kellyman's Karli Morgenthau and Wyatt Russell's John Walker/Captain America who feel lost amongst the shuffle when considering other parts like Sam Wilson's family, former super solider Isaiah Bradley, a returning Zemo, and several other MCU tangents that not only bloat out the story, but really only serve to be launch points to other stories.

I liked The Falcon and the Winter Soldier well-enough, but it's the kind of thing that feels like it should've been a movie instead of a series. With Wandavision, it felt like it used an episodic format to its advantage in being a meta commentary on sitcoms intertwined with a The Prisoner-esque mystery, but The Falcon and the Winter Soldier feels like a good story that's overstretched and overstuffed. Still enjoyable, but not without flaws.",7
"Wow. Completely taken by surprise, pleasantly. The writing, production values, acting, the plot, it's all so damn good. Every single part I figured was just meandering backstory was actually pretty damn pertinent in the end. It's cyclical and satisfying.

Definitely going to go read the book soon after this.",9
"Korea is a wonderfully odd place for a westerner. I have lived here for a while and have learned the language to some degree. There is great innocence and great frankness in the society. It usually comes from a place of innocence and good intentions and those good intentions allow one to say things that might get you slugged if you didn't mean well. Directness, be it positive or negative, is valued in ways that often shock westerners and leave us baffled. This film is exhibit A in that sort of baffling mix of bluntness and sweetness.

This movie is hilarious, with two great leads in Gianna Jun as the girl and Tae Hyeon Cha as her suitor Kim Woo. They really make the movie. Cha is sweet and really clueless and must seem, to The Girl (Gianna's character is never given a name beyond that) like nothing more than a mouse with which she, the cat, can play. Having said that, she is still a woman and wants him to be chivalrous, even while she tests him as few women will.

The Girl's character is more than a little messed up, owing to some previous relationships. It's a great character and a star-making turn for her, giving her the chance to show great range as an actress. We see her as needy, as strong, as feminine, as sarcastic, and as very funny. The script, by Ho-sik Kim based on events in his life. It was adapted by him and director Jaeyoung Kwak who do a great job in keeping the characters likable in spite of some sharp twists and turns. There's some good supporting work from Kym Woo's parents (Sook Song Kwak and In Mun Kim) also. This really is a fun romantic comedy about the power of love. If you like Hollywood cookie cutter romances this isn't for you, but if you're willing to see other modes of expressing romance, this movie will reward you.",9
"If you have read the book then this is not the movie for you. It lost almost everything that made this book so enjoyable.

If it wasn't for the the fact that Coppola's daughter was involved it would never have gotten any of the publicity and recognition. Don't bother if you want to see a decent well paced movie cos this aint it. There are not a lot of movies I would give a 1 to but this definitely deserves it.

"Quentin, I love what you have done here. This script sings a love for Hollywood that leaps off the page. I like that you're changing history again and I think that this mixed genre thing you've got going on could work really well.

I do have some issues however.

One of the things I look forward to in your screenplays are the hidden coincidental connections and clever foreshadowing of events to come. e.g - ""Garcon coffee!"" or ""Pai Mei taught you the five point palm exploding heart technique?""

I know you really wanted to do 'a day in the life' of these characters, but the lack of connections between these stories makes for some uninteresting set-ups that never quite pay off.

1. Steve McQueen sets up the relationship between Jay Sebring and Roman Polanski, but we never see or hear from him again.

2. Bruce Lee and Cliff Booth fight, but we don't get a resolution?

3. If the Manson Family gets killed before they murder anyone, Charles Manson will never be implicated in the murder and he will still be out there.

4. Jay Sebring is clearly trying to get back with Sharon and Roman is cool with him hanging around all the time?

5. The Western TV show with Rick was cool, but he goes and acts in a Sergio Corbucci film we never see?

Now, I'm no Oscar winning writer, so take this with a grain of pepper...

What if you scrap the TV Western scene and convert it to a sequence in Italy showing Rick working with Sergio Corbucci on Nebraska Jim. Nebraska Jim is a success and when Rick comes back on a high, he finds an invite in the mail to Sharon Tate's party.

Rick and Cliff Booth head to the party, and as they walk up to the gate, Bruce Lee and Steve McQueen pull up in a red Ferrari (I am sure you know this, but they were good friends in real life. Bruce was his trainer and Steve was an accomplished martial artist). Bruce and Cliff have words before they speed off up the driveway and into the party.

At the party Jay Sebring spots Rick and they have that interaction you wrote at the end where they talk about his body of work, showing Jays appreciation for Rick as an actor. Sharing their mutual love of pop culture, Cliff, Rick and Jay become friends and make some drinks together.

Steve McQueen and Bruce Lee chat to Sharon Tate when Roman Polanski comes bursting in pissed at Jay for trying to steal his pregnant wife.

Outside the Manson family members (Tex, Pussy, Sadie, Patricia and Linda Kasabian) pull up with Charlie in the driver's seat. They all smoke acid dipped cigarettes (except Charlie, who pretends to).

Charlie runs them through his plan once again, making sure everyone knows what they have to do. They get out of the car and Linda Kasabian has second thoughts. She makes a run for it, leaving them with a part of the plan missing - Charlie now has to go in with them.

Jay and Roman are about to get physical. Rick and Cliff stand on the side of Jay, and Steve and Bruce side with Roman.

It's about to get nasty when Sharon's stands in the middle trying to break them apart. They start to fight, Sharon's water breaks and she goes into labor.

BANG! A gun fires in the air and five Manson family members (Including Charlie - who is holding the gun) walk into the party.

Charlie gives one of your famous monologues about his distaste for the entertainment industry, and the Mexican stand-off begins.

In an awesome Kill-Bill-esk kung fu fight, Bruce, Steve, Rick and Cliff take down all the Manson family members.

Only Charlie remains. He's had the gun the whole time, but has shown his true colors and been too afraid to use it.

Bruce, Rick, Cliff and Steve all begin to converge on Charlie. He who knows he's done for, so he turns the gun on himself and pulls the trigger - CLICK! he's out of bullets.

In a Death-Proof-esk ending, Cliff, Rick, Bruce and Steve take him to pieces.

Sharon gives birth, and Roman and Jay make up.

In a post credits scene (because they're all the rage these days) we see Rick, Cliff, Steve and Bruce working together on Game of Death - The movie Bruce Lee never finished.

Just a suggestion.

Hope it goes well for you.

Peace.",5
We went into his movie hoping for something great based on reviews. When we walked out of the movie we both looked at each other and said the same thing-What a crappy movie. The actors did a great job...the story line was not even a little bit believable. And I could do with a little less obvious racism in a movie...Even though the ending is a happy fest where we can all get along the racial parts are what some groups will latch onto as if it were a possible agenda to get behind. Overall do not waste your money...,4

"After being dumped by actress Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), a composer named Peter Bretter (Jason Segel, who also wrote the screenplay)tries to take a vacation in Hawaii. But, as luck would have it, she's there with her new boyfriend (Russell Brand). Cue the new girl named Rachel from the front desk (Mila Kunis). Does Peter try to get Sarah back? Go for the new girl? Walk away and move on with his life? Guess you'll have to wait and see.

While I didn't find myself rolling around on the ground laughing, and even though most of the plot is incredibly cliché and predictable, I found something endearing about this film. It comes off as a raunchy film -- especially with the full frontal nudity -- but has a lot more character and less juvenile tendencies than ""American Pie"" . In some ways, I could almost sympathize with Peter (especially the way he'll eat abnormally large amounts of breakfast cereal).

The Mila Kunis was nice -- she's a decent enough actress and very easy on the eyes. The lead was strong. Kristen Bell was a bit weak, but managed to pull off her part. What was really great was the cameo cut-aways with William Baldwin and Jason Bateman. I looked forward to each one-liner, no matter how bad they were going to be. This was really the clincher between a one-time view and a repeat. I'd be glad to see this one again.

I was torn on the Dracula musical. It was clever and I think this had a lot of potential, both as a subplot and even as a stand-alone spin-off if they wanted to make it. But I don't know how much I liked the idea of puppets, and when we finally see the finished project I found it rather disappointing. Not something I would go and see. So, Peter, I hope you made Rachel happy because you failed me.

Nothing new here, but a classic love tale and some decent jokes with full frontal nudity (male). If you like a good comedy and don't mind some smut, check this out. I suspect it will be better than Kevin Smith's attempt at raunchy humor, and I already know it tops the string of teenager films from the past decade. And if you need a break from Will Ferrell, here's a good chance. Although, sadly, since Judd Apatow produced it, there's some scenes with Paul Rudd and Jonah Hill that I could have done without.",6
"Firstly let me rate both seasons separately. Season 1: 10/10 Season 2: 2/10

Season 1: From the first episode I was hooked, it was one of the best and unique shows I have watched in a while, the jokes were funny and the whole concept of what the main characters had to do was hilarious. All 3 main characters were very likable and the character development was great. There was not a single episode I didn't like in season 1. If you haven't watched it, stop wasting time and go watch it.

Season 2: I was very disappointed with season 2, they took all the character development, all the fun and wacky concepts from season 1 and threw them away. The show became something more akin to a rubbish sitcom complete with a musical, and there was some slight political pandering that should have been kept out of the show, there was good parts of the episodes and funny parts, where I would laugh the whole way through season 1, season 2 would only get a giggle every now and then and watching the episodes became a slog. My favorite character of the show Wolf, turned into a completely different person, I would say he had the most character development of any character in season 1 and in season 2 it was like it never happened and he was someone else.

The one redeemable aspect of season 2 is that the last 2 episodes did get back the feel of season 1 and if there is to be a season 3 I really hope they capture that magic of season 1 once more, it would be a shame to see such a great concept of a TV show die. I really hope someone important see this review ( doubt it ) and makes sure that season 3 goes back to season 1s glory. I would also heavily advise to stay away from any politics, franchise after franchise are failing due to them becoming political and I do not want to see Future Man go this way. Seth Rogen is capable of producing something better than season 2, I hope he and the other producers realize that season 2 was definitely not where fans wanted the series to go.

Overall the series would get 7/10 I wish I could give it higher but season 2 almost ruined everything about the show. I hope season 3 will be better and that the producers read the user reviews and see on what areas they can improve.",7
Good thriller that is captivating from the first scene. However there are some weaker scenes with poor script. The directing could have been a bit stronger as some things were just too far fetched. The finale was ok but rushed. The pacing could have been a lot better. Overall however it was still enjoyable as it moved quickly and was never really a dull moment with a strong plot.,7
"It has become clear that a person with talent and vision can create an intelligent and likable film from almost any material he chooses. As a 30-year-old man who is fed up with sexual orientation and gender movies, I was wary of this movie. The movie was definitely not what I expected. The film makes a very enjoyable narrative about common male-female relationships, gender roles, toxic masculinity or even aging. Of course, he doesn't do a very deep social analysis, but I think the messages it gives are more than enough. I think finding this part inadequate is an egoistic and show-off move. The character of Ken was perhaps used even better than Barbie in the movie. I was amazed by Ryan Gosling's performance. Needless to say, the cinematography of the film also is very successful.",8

"James Bond sporting way too much linen and a slow southern accent sets the scene for a remarkably poor attempt at a movie.

... this was like starting a recipe with all the best ingredients but then leaving it in the oven 2 hours too long.

How did a stella cast get wrapped up in this?

As who done it's go this was more about spoon feeding a disruptive ( a word they use too much) plot of unclear motives and weird ""plot twists"" that leave you thinking ... did they just add that bit later?

Good things ....the location, art and furniture were high budget and a cool distraction.

"From what I gather, and my own reaction, people either love this movie or hate it. Strangely, I have been on both sides of the fence with this film. I never look at it in the same light, for some reason. At first I hated it and on a second chance, really liked it. Then the same two things happened on the third and fourth viewings until I finally stopped.

This is an extremely profane film laced with a lot of dark humor. I have a machine that can filter out much of the profanity and I often appreciate dark humor, but blowing a guy's brains out in the back seat of a car is funny? What am I missing?

Two things I will say: the film doesn't lose me despite being two-and-a-half hours. There are no boring lulls and the dialog is fascinating in parts, mainly between John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson. Their discussions are unique, to say the least, and one certainly remembers Uma Thurman's role and Travolta slamming a syringe into her chest.

With 240 f-words and the Lord's name in vain 28 times, I miss a lot of sentences with the filter. It's still an interesting film.....in a perverse way. The other thing: yes, there is some dark comedy in here but overall this should NOT be labeled a comedy, or God help us all.",6

It actually makes me want to turn off the TV when I see this kind of brainwashing nonsense. The series seemed to copy Harry Potter in a lot of ways but I quite enjoyed some of it.

"Finally got around to watching Train to Busan. Its a movie that has been hyped up greatly and absolutely love horror movies. Despite the great reviews I tempered by expectations because it is a foreign film.

The movie starts out promising with an interesting premise of a zombie outbreak progressively getting out of control as our main characters begin a journey by train to Busan to see their wife/mother. But throughout the movie, the theme of helping self vs others is routinely and bluntly placed before viewers without any subtlety or situational queues to make it seem natural.

The father representing a take care of you/yours point of view and the daughter always choosing to help others. But there isnt any nuance and its a childish dumb presentation. Like yea ok, the daughter offers her seat to an elderly woman...all fine and dandy but when she questions lift threatening decisions her father is making she always make it seem black and white morally and thats just not the case. This is my main problem with this movie. Its dumb and tries to present literal survival decisions as black and white morally rather than the incredibly complicated decisions they really are.",2

"To be honest with you all house of dragons is not even close to be called a sequel or even prequel to game of thrones it's merely a bad representation to the story, because when we talk about game of thrones for example we say yea it has a great main story that we follow as an audience but also there alot of great mini stories behind every character in the show that keeps you connected and interested in all of them there is amazing acting performance from all the cast that keeps you in the mood of the story and the show even after every episode ends there is an unbelievable visual and sound effects throughout the entire show and at last there is great directing to the whole work to get it to as amazing work of art as it was but when we get to speak about house of dragons we can't say that there is great main story or dialogue there is not that much interesting characters on the show or any mini background stories even to begin with there is not that great acting performance that's worthy of the story and the visual and sound effects not up to the level simply to say and the director was not that successful to bring forward a great show tied together with all that he got and the inserting of the nudity and porngraphy scenes in a way that it's even pushed over the show without context or necessarily importance to the events for just to compensate the lacking of every other aspect that the show missing of great drama or thrilling event's on the there is no worthy action or adventure or thriller or drama in the show worthy of it to be a prequel to the great eventful game of thrones.",6

"The terror of a quiet solitude, exposed on an endangered French beach and desperately awaiting evacuation at the height of World War II. Abandoning the more experimental themes he toyed with in Inception and Interstellar, Christopher Nolan has set out to make a mostly-straight war picture, shining his spotlight on a major test (and ultimate turning point) for the British armed forces. Told from three entangled perspectives - one each from land, sea and air - we see heroes, victims, cowards and lunatics emerge from what might have otherwise seemed a nondescript group of young men. It's far less bombastic than the standard combat film, with a soft, observant character and distinct lack of extraneous dialog. That reticence, paired with an emphasis on beautifully-composed photography, reminded me more of an art film than an action epic. The battlefield's thick tension is inescapable, though, always drawing us back to the moment, with the frightened skyward eyes and skittish, shell-shocked nature of nearby soldiers proving a constant reminder that arbitrary death could be mere moments away. It's also the rare positive example of a recent tendency toward uneven sound mixes: a barrage of gunfire or sudden, screaming airborne bombing run can pack a mighty punch.",7

She is not attractive and does not have that ""Witcher game"" character style that I like (that's me not taking my own advice and comparing it to the game! She also looks like a man sometimes...just sayin'.) Anyway, I can't stand that actress and she was hard to watch in her scenes. Everyone else was fine and Henry Cavill knocked it out of the park with his portrayal and the way he said ""roach!"" Lol. The bard was kind of annoying, but apparently he was part of the books, so it is what it is. The series was entertaining with a few boring, out drawn scenes.

The Witcher is based on Slavic mythology and is set in a fantasy version of medieval eastern Europe, not exactly a diverse society so diversity in the show just feels forced.

I don't want to spoil it but, if anything, the ultimate message is very wholesome. The movie is funny and, by far, my favorite parts included the Kens (couldn't get ""I'm Just Ken"" out of my head for days afterwards).

With that being said, my main criticism comes from the fact that it is kind of ironic that the movie is basically a 1,5 hr long commercial (to those of you who have seen it, remember Sasha's rant). The message is still good and I enjoyed the movie but, ultimately, it is a commercial. I also really enjoyed the soundtrack but imo the song at the credits just did not fit in and honestly shouldn't have been made.",8
"First, the antagonist was completely lackluster and unbelievable. I couldn't feel for her cause whatsoever.

Second, and this is the big one, the forced issue of being a black superhero and racism was also unbelievable. The fact Sam helped save half the universe AND IS BROKE is laughable. If LeBron can make millions playing a game, I'm pretty damn sure Sam would have been compensated accordingly, at least to the point of fixing up a super old fishing boat. This also suggests that Tony didn't care about his team and didn't have his accounting department set up some sort of salary while the Avengers were still together. To continue this thought, Pepper didn't take care of the heroes when they returned. I don't buy it at all.

I rated this show low because it forced me out of fantasy and back into reality; but did so in an unconvincing and contrived way. I just watched a behind the scenes episode of this show, and to see the black writers and Anthony complain about how hard it is to be black in America-while being a part of the biggest franchise in the world-is the equivalent of spitting in the face of the general public. I mean, Anthony did a YouTube video of what he does in a day, and starts off in his huge steam shower. TF? I didn't even know those exist.

I wish the movies and shows would continue to keep us in a fantasy world, so we can escape reality, rather than remind us that the human race is awful as a whole. Social media does more than an adequate enough job telling us how much hate there is in the world...now my favorite franchise is an extension of that.",2
"Bad dialogue, terrible acting and it is nothing like the source material. They should have went with a crazy director who doesn't care and just goes all out (Think of Miike kind of director/creator). A Twisted Metal tv show or movie that fits the same style as humor as say Starship Troopers did back in the day.

Get better writers and do better atmosphere and this would have been alot better. Non of the jokes hit (Who cares about Sysco jokes? I mean really!).

After the amazing and wonderful THE LAST OF US showed us that you could do a faithful adaption of a videogame and do it well! This Twisted Metal is the opposite it shows you how NOT to make a videogame adaption into a tv series.

Bad dialogue, bad writing and bad acting are the shows biggest problems.",2
QT is now simply showing off his tireless talent through the complexity of the storylines intertwining together. I didn't know what to expect but not such weirdness and over three hours long!! And what's up with the close ups of dirty feet and women snoring - inside joke? I had to look up Tate murders and I am glad QT re-wrote the outcome of that evening giving the memory of those killed a new life. I think this is the first film where I truly came to appreciate Brad Pitt's acting talent.. and Brandy is adorable!,6
"Sarcastic title, having finished season 1 a couple of days prior & looking forward to season 2.

A great cast, good script & OK visual effects supported by good lighting, this show is a fun throwback to all Things 80's (You see what I did there?)& even part 70's (notice the Jaws' style police uniforms & vehicles). Swiftly combined elements of several film genres & music make for solid entertainment that proves - along with shows like Westworld - series are better then a lot of films that come out these days.

There are quite some opinions that state season 1 wraps everything up ambigiously, but not necessarily needs to lead into a 2nd season. I'm rather glad it flows into season 2, which I read was always the intention.

Stranger Things is worth the views, check it out!",8
"I thought this film would be a lot better than it was and would not recommend it to anyone. According to the DVD box cover it got over 80 four star reviews. On the back Roger Ebert gave it a thumbs up and Peter Travers of Rolling Stone said it was ""flat out hilarious!""

Unfortunately nothing could be further from the truth. I found it for the most part dull and tedious and not the least bit funny. I can't figure out what all the fuss was about.

It starts off slow and never picks up. The acting is OK but nothing to write home about.

This is one of the few films I've seen that I wish I hadn't wasted my money on.",1
I went with zero expectation and end up crying due to the story attachment with audience easily connects and really roll tears from your eyes. For the first time in Indian Cinema that animal has wonderful acting and love towards Dharma. I truly recommend this story to people.,10
"Shockingly poor in terms of story, plot, characters, progression. Therefore very boring. The initial episode is quite promising hence getting sucked in to keep watching for when it improves... This never happens. Waste of your life.",1
"Constant belittling of conservative middle America... tiresome.

Of course - ""white males"" in the rust belt support the crazy nazi superhero but not urban adults.

🤡 show.",4
"The spaceship special effects are really wonderful, the action sequences have good pace. But in every urgent sequence (a scene where they have only 20 seconds to get saved) they start a long discussion about trust, loyalty or something like that. And this happens ALL THE TIME. This makes the series feel like an Mexican soap opera. PS: the 3rd season of the best.",6
"I'm going to be frank with you, I have no idea what I just watched and whether I understood the story, probably not even remotely. Same goes for the first season's finale. But my point is, I never stopped watching. It means somebody must've done something right!

All of the details, great music, gothic touch, small talks, funny side-notes, Nadia's charisma and finally, storyline around Europe (we need more of that!) was indeed compelling.

Time travel is always a fascinating subject, however in some cases it puts me to sleep. Russian doll is the opposite. It keeps you high level engaged, you probably stop caring for the point somewhere half-way through the show, experiencing Mulholland drive or Blue velvet-like oblivion which I certainly haven't expected in a modern show. Very entertaining, yes.

Natasha Lyonne is overcoming our expectations, what a nice surprise!",7
"Before bashing this film, I'd like to point out that it was visually stunning. From the mountains in the training scenes to the color in the garden when Bruce was young to the hideous transformation of Gotham between when the Wayne parents were alive and deceased. The cast was also wonderful (with Katie Holmes of course being the exception), but what it comes down to is that this movie focused far more on being a summer blockbuster than on being a Batman prequel.

The script had its camp, silly moments, but not enough to make it unbearable. While Christian Bale was by far the best Bruce Wayne of all films, he was almost the worst Batman. He was dramatic and over the top, making it comical to stare at his mouth while he spoke, as it looked cartoonish, or like he was always enunciating far more than necessary.

While it may be true to the comic books in his training and background, the movie itself did little to explain these things. Who exactly was Liam Neeson's character and why were they trying to recruit Bruce Wayne? Why was he being trained? To join the League of Shadows? And what do they do? Not get revenge, for they spoke of cities like Rome that just grew too big, became too large of an Empire and it was their job to humble them. Why? It never explains their motivation behind it, which gave me little hope for conclusion in the rest of the film.

Bruce Wayne is a very troubled individual. He witnessed his parents being mugged and murdered in a dark alley when he was just a young child. Events like this traumatize people to a much larger degree than is discussed in the film. The film portrays a fairly calm cool and collected version of Bruce Wayne, and not, what I feel, he really was: a driven, slightly psychotic young man who had the bucks to back up his desire for justice. How exactly can you go about deciding all of a sudden to become a superhero? Like Bale says in the movie: anyone who dresses up as a bat in his free time clearly has issues.

And on a final, and personal note: Batman is not a superhero. He is just a man in a costume with a bunch of goofy gadgets. This is why Batman has been able to be portrayed by four different actors (keaton, kilmer, clooney, bale). Anyone could put on a batsuit and become Batman- there's simply no magic behind it, yet the film sends the message that Bruce IS more than just a man (notice how he only had weeks of training and could immediately beat and murder countless numbers of men who had been training their whole lives on the mountain top) As incredible as the effects were, as terrifying as the Scarecrow was (that alone is worth seeing the movie for), this movie just doesn't do it for me. Please, let's close the Batman chapter and move on to more original ideas, not ones that have been beaten into the ground.",4
"Okay! As a fan of The viral fever, I like everything they come up with, But Pitchers is something out of the ordinary and regulation comedy they come up with. It is a comedy with a difference, It is a sit-com that is so real that it is highly difficult to watch it and not get inspired by it. Naveen seems to have mastered the art of being a good boy and I feel is tailor made for the role. Jiten is we all know is just so natural and versatile that he can just slip into any character. Yogi from Uttar Pradesh and not Delhi has surprised me the most. Though, I feel this was his comfort zone, the way he tosses and bosses people around reminds me of my seniors from Bihar in my college. Mandal is superlative in the character of a so called zero; an what a zero does he prove to be.

Also, it is comical, well shot, well performed and has a magical storyline.

Keep up the good work!!",10

"I always love superhero movies... I don't read the comic, but from the 1st and the 2nd movie, one thing that surely being the character is that Steve Rogers always have different way of thinking which emphasize many values of humanity and not just derived by being ""true"" or being ""wrong"".

In this sequel, one thing that I didn't get the point was why should Captain America steal his old uniform from the museum ? I thought it was to help Bucky gain his memory back, but what I saw is that was just to create some humor.

When Nick Fury presumed dead, I was 100% sure that he was not, so, I think such trick has been used million times in movies and it will be a lot better if the scenario didn't put such plot.",8
"Your choice to watch, this was a tough one it had it's moments but overall tedious and boring. The plot we all know but getting to the point of the story had too way much minutia. Most disappointing to me were the special effects, Martin Scorsese made this the longest film of his career and it showed, it showed in the characters that were being portrayed by Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci and trying to make them look young I kept waiting for their faces to fall off and the dialog!! Stale and uninspiring from the flash backs to the ending that if intended was anticlimactic at best. Finally Pacino's Hoffa reminded me of his as Big Boy Caprice from Dick Tracy but in that film it fit in The Irishman he was all over the place but as they say everybody has an opinion you be the judge",5
Oh! No.. This is the worst Movie on the list of bad movies i watched.. Not to say people who liked this Movie.. But it's not my kind of treat..,2
It's a good series talking about upsc aspirants. It'll engaged you mostly but few episodes are stretch for no reason. That's why i gave 7/10 to it.,7
DC ask you where the Justice League will continue to see millions of people have watched the final scene of the film I wonder how the 2030 years continued,3
"Compared to the first and second films in the Captain America franchise, Captain America: Civil War isn't quite as fun or thrilling unless impressive CGI and loud action sequences are enough to whet your appetite. Captain America: The First Avenger had a riveting plot that kept you at the edge of your seat. This one lacks suspense and is jam-packed with so many superheroes that, unless you're already very familiar with the franchise, you'll forget why you should be caring about these cardboard characters and their relations to begin with. Attempts to generate poignancy fall flat and come across as clunky while the wafer-thin plot feels stretched too thinly.Winter soldier still is the best MCU movie... And this is overrated as hell...critics are ruining good DC movies box office like BvS MoS and Watchmen.. MCU tried to do something different and managed to stick to the same old mediocre formula .. They're afraid to take risks and raise stakes because they don't have the creative minds for it. MCu should stop making movies because they're for thumb-suckers",8
"Love it - is all I can say. But I can't post if I don't say more, so here it is: I still can't believe that the average score for Korra is 8.3 and the average score for Avatar is currently 9.3 - what are people watching or thinking. This is so finely made and Korra is a hot mess. Please watch and share.",10
"I started seeing this series because it was rated at 8.9 on IMDB, I thought it was really good, but it's absolutely bad. If superheroes are selling themselves for money, why don't they use their superpowers themselves to get the money they want? Why would a person with superpower, such as flying, superhuman strength, have to rely on corrupt entrepreneurs to make money? It makes no sense at all. Why represent superheroes as people so devoid of morals and virtues? As if the world didn't have enough of these kind of people? It seems to me that the need to produce content eventually generates garbage. It's unfortunate that so many people are complimenting this crap and giving it a high score, that's simply unwatchable. If the future of TV shows is this then we are lost. It's also unfortunate that very good actors like Simon Pegg, Elizabeth Shue and Anthony Star have agreed to participate in this trash , it's outrageous.",1
"The plot runs too long and seems long-winded, if you pay closer attention to the dialogue in the film then you will know who the killer is from the start. The good thing about this movie is the cast, the players managed to make me watch this movie to the end. The rest of this film is mediocre, there is nothing interesting about this film. If you ask me would I recommend this film or not? I will answer maybe, if you really like mystery and detective themed films then I will not recommend this to you. Even I wouldn't be surprised if there were people who didn't really like this movie.that's all from me.",6
"I am a fan of Saif Ali Khan & this movie is just phenomenal. He's a killer i meant(from looks) he got the best looks in this film. Ram gopal verma makes good films and saif ali khan nailed it even in darna mana hai where he was a smoker!

The bgm,scores,camera movements,direction were epic i didn't even got bored it was smooth, sadly there aren't movies like these nowadays neither the casts too. I am watching this movie first time in 2022 after watching other saif's films like Race 2,Vikram Vedha etc!

Although ram gopal verma used to make good thriller,horror movies and i desperately needed one ram gopal verma's movie even there is saif in it again i don't care he's great actor and i'll watch it definately.",10
"Tokyo Revengers is a shounen anime adapted from the manga of the same name.

The series has the right mood for an action anime, with the art being just right for the story, hard on the edges, with bukly characters and elaborated hairstyles. The use of bold colors was enhancing the action scenes and making the whole anime look bolder.

The characters, in addition, were quite interesting, with some comical spins to them, making them more believable, especially if one takes in account the fact that all of them were 14 to 15.

On the other hand, the story does appear to have some plot holes, especially regarding the time travel trop. The main character's cry baby attitude did get annoying as well.

So, overall, six out of ten.",6
"The preview clip for this film definitely had me intrigued. The film started out delivering on those expectations, but before long the story disappeared and the viewer is left initially confused, then frustrated, then annoyed and disappointed. Yes, the performances were very strong, the cinematography and sound were both on-point for sure. It looked and sounded quite good but without a somewhat coherent story/point of view, I struggled to get through to the end.",5
"Guess it's a 25 % who know what I mean by this headline. IT SHOWED Seb Stan actually CAN ACT. You know, Pam & Tommy? Better show. It's btw interesting that reviews going 7-10/10 calling people who reviews something 5 or lower ""haters"". NO. It's called diversity, and having an opinion not influented by everything Marvel equels great. I even had a discussion with my niece, who's 12, who cant understand I hate Thor 2 because it stinks, because Marvel=great. Falcon I just found a mediocre combo of Winter Soldier and a boring buddy mix up which Kathleen Kennedy actually compared to Lethal Weapon. Okay then, Kathleen. Take your meds. I didn't like the new Cap America, played by Kurt Russel's son. A smug idiot. It had hardly any storyline, but get of for some great action pieces that were more old school than the usual Marvel CGI fest. The racial thing was nicely handled, especially when Falcon and Bucky was stopped by the police. Other than that, not so much. We even have to suffer more Kurt Russel's son because of Julia Louis-Dreyfuss shady character (who has the WORST introline ever. ""These shoes are NOT made for walking""). I bet Nancy Sinatra got a bootkick out of that.",5
What a stupid movie. I felt like i lost a couple hours of my life. Don't waste your tome with this crapfest,1
"I have been waiting fir Loki shoe for months, I love Hiddleston and I love Mosaku, but I couldn't complete the first episode for the 3rd time now, the show is humiliating to Loki character, they are mocking him, he is a god for Christ sake.",1
"I'd heard many good things about this show so I had very high expectations. I thought the first show had some potential and I enjoyed the ancient Egypt theme of the whole thing, but I just didn't think the plot connected very well. They spent a lot of time on events that didn't really add to the ending such as the part where they find the map to the stars in order to find the tomb. This whole adventure took up a solid 2 episodes of the 6 shows in the season and really didn't grow the characters in that time and really wasn't important (they could have just followed Harrow back to the tomb). This time probably should have been spent further explaining Harrow's past relationship with Khonshu.

The last two episodes sort of out of nowhere try to become a psychological thriller or Marvels best attempt at Inception. It was fine, but I found it to be a little corny.

Overall the ending was quite predictable and a little dull for me. For me the true test of a good show is if you are disappointed that there isn't another show after the finale to put on. For this one I was happy it was done so I can move on to the next. I'll watch Season 2, but only because I watch everything in the MCU.",3
"Really boring series with no goals and empty brain dead ,no motive characters that makes you hate yourself for giving it a chance to watch this deeply flawed trash of a series.",1
"The story was ridiculously predictable. But that was expected. The European locales were beautiful. Again expected.

But Aniston & Sandler for 90 minutes? Truly the most annoying and painful couple in cinematic history or at least in decades. There was basically nothing to like about either of them and even less for them as a couple.

The film was flat fun. But the lead couple made it barely unbearable.",5
"LOVE this show. Great ensemble but the actor who plays Manny is a terrible actor. Last season it looked like a coach was trying to teach him how to use his hands more because all of a sudden he was moving his hands all over the place. He's the only one on the show not believable. I don't know if they should take him off completely or just decrease his character on the show. He's that bad. It's like a bad SNL skit where he just comes in, awkwardly says a few ridiculous lines (which were cute when he was younger), and then walks off as you're left wondering what the hell...... The actress who plays Lilly isn't so great either but she's young so I'm cutting her some slack.

The rest of the actors on the show are fantastic and work so incredibly well together. The writing is terrific and hysterically funny.

If they get rid of Manny I would give it a 10.",8
"OMG, slow story, no point. This isn't an Oliver Stone JFK assassination conspriracy theory compilation-like story of Charles Manson and his hippies killing the innocent people at the party with Sharon Tate. This is an alternate, dull, made-up story peripheral to the Sharon Tate story: a what-if story full of who-cares fictional characters.",3
"After the magnificence of the Dark Knight, its hard to believe that this film was made by the same director. I watched the trilogy yesterday. The first two films are classic Nolan and truly brilliant. That's why part 3 comes as such a surprise. It's devoid of any inspiration and Nolans directorial mastery. The film is bloated and an hour too This is probably his worst film by a stretch. I have the box set on 4k bluray but I won't be watching part 3 again.

Sadly, it's that bad.",2
"While the premise of ""13 Reasons Why"" is intriguing, the execution of the show leaves much to be desired. Despite the show's stated intentions to raise awareness about the impact of bullying and the reality of suicide, the way in which the story is told feels exploitative and sensationalistic.

One of the biggest issues with the show is its graphic depiction of suicide. By showing the entire scene in detail, the show not only violates guidelines for responsible media coverage of suicide, but also risks triggering vulnerable viewers. Furthermore, the way in which the suicide is portrayed in the show could potentially romanticize the act, sending a dangerous message to viewers.

Another issue with the show is its portrayal of mental health issues. While the show touches on topics such as depression and anxiety, it ultimately fails to provide any meaningful insights or understanding of these conditions. Instead, it seems to use mental illness as a plot device to drive the story forward.

Additionally, the show's focus on revenge and blame detracts from its stated message of promoting empathy and understanding. The character of Hannah, the victim of the show's central suicide, is portrayed as seeking revenge on those who wronged her, rather than simply seeking support and understanding.

Overall, ""13 Reasons Why"" misses the mark in its attempt to address important topics related to suicide and mental health. Instead, it risks doing harm by promoting harmful messages and failing to provide any meaningful insights or solutions.",3
All over the place & all in all very dissapointing - even some of marvel characters have morphed into embarrassing caricatures. Is it the writers fault or have some of the actors got a bit too much influence? ..... I don't get what planet anyone who gives thos film 5/10 is living on let alone all the 9/10 and 10/10 rating ... The mind boggles ....,2
"I hadn't heard of this series at all until I decided to subscribe to Disney+ on a whim. The blurb sounded intriguing and Steve Martin and Martin Short together? Well that sounded like fun.

And fun it definitely is. If you're looking for a light hearted slapstick whodunnit with very likeable characters then this is for you. I binge watched this and the episodes just flew by in no time at all. I wish there had been more! Looking forward to another season!",10

"Here are my pros and cons regarding the movie ""Avatar""

Pros

1. Lasted three not four hours 2. Nice ""free"" eye glasses 3. Felt safe in theater as I was surrounded by nerds and felt I could beat up most of the other theater patrons if some sort of riot broke out 4. Many animators were employed during these difficult economic times 5. Julia Roberts wasn't in it 6. Easy to spot the bad guys (they were all white men)

Cons

1. ""Plot"" was as predictable as an old Andy Griffith show or ABC After School Special 2. Tree of knowledge looked like giant fiber optic lamp from Wal-Mart 3. Set design inspired by ""my little pony"" 4. Preachy, over-the-top, corny analogy to current situation in middle east. 5. No condom appeared to be used during mating scene 6. Overdone people of color subplot (this time blue) know more about how to have a fulfilling life than ""civilized"" people.",2
Henry Cavill is a marvel as Geralt. And Anya Chalotra is perfect as Yennefer. This series is endlessly rewatchable - while I had a few nitpicks (how could you do Triss like that?) this is solid and well done. I hope we don't have wait till 2021 for the next season.,9
"What the heck? I was really enjoying this movie, and then about half way through I though I was watching the wrong movie. It went from normal NASA space movie to the space version of inception. Also Matthew's character uses the word ""Merph"" every single chance he gets. No wonder that girl didn't like her name, she was sick of her dad saying it 50 times a day! The movie had a overall unique idea that was just poorly executed and was just ended up being confusing. It had great cinematography, great acting, a beautiful soundtrack, and the plot was good until about the middle of the movie. I expected to like it more than I did.",3
"I felt the need to write my first IMDB review after waiting through months of build-up to watch this movie. I can't understand the ratings in here. Mr. Cooper's first attempt at filmmaking seems just like that - a first attempt. He's a talented artist so hopefully he'll come into his own with filmmaking one day but this was miles from brilliant, in my opinion. I wanted to love the movie so much. Gaga's acting seemed amateurish, as well. It wasn't as painful as the 70's version of this saga but I do not get the level of praise for this effort. Maybe I need to go far back to Judy Garland to plug into what magic ""A Star Is Born"" may ever have existed.",4
"I see that a lot of people have really appreciated this series. I guess it's a good thing if it worked.

I am still disappointed because this looks nothing like Burton's work, it feels like someone took him and is pretending to be Burton directing this show.

Plus I don't like this trend of creating franchises from great movies who worked amazingly on their own.

This made me think of Harry Potter and that Fantastic Beasts thing they made afterwards. It always just feels like it's hurting the original creation.

So this show wasn't bad per say but I don't feel like it does right to the Addams Family and I can't quite understand why Tim Burton would have done this.

(also, Wednesday Addams almost falling in love with a nice guy doesn't make any sense really)",5
"This show manages to transcend the already rich canon that Thomas Harris wrote, and a handful of great movies brought to the screen. It's dense with symbolism, both obvious and suggestive, aesthetical and subliminal.

The cast is pitch perfect in their respective roles - going from minimalistic facial acting, subtly conveying emotions and hidden agendas - to the explosive passion of a Greek drama, all without it ever feeling contrived. Hugh Dancy in particular, shines as he lets the ever-fragile needle on Will Grahams spectrum come through with real sincerity.

To sum it up, with great cinematography, technical bravura and a gorgeous color palette, one can achieve something close to television art.",10
"I will say that I love Rían Johnson's intricate plots. He writes mysteries that Agatha Christie would be proud of. That said, this movie is nowhere near as good as Knives Out. It's just overall sillier and campier. So probably adjust your expectations going in.

There were more cameo appearances than actual main characters, also, which got old quickly, but I suppose that's a testament to everyone wanting to be in a Rían Johnson movie. That just added to the silliness factor though, which I thought was completely unnecessary.

I felt it had quite a slow start. For the first 45 minutes to an hour, I wondered what I'd gotten myself into. Then things picked up quick and I was hooked. That's where the intricate plotting really shone.

I hope if there are future movies in this franchise that they return to the more gothic feeling of the first one and not the over-the-top campy vibe that this one has.",6
"what a turn of events at every step of each episode. i started watching just one month back and have completed 5 seasons already and still cant get enough. Just cant stop myself. Its not just watching some great stuff,its an experience. This show proves that the storyline and originality comes first along with great casting. Awesome.... cant wait for the movie.... it has to be as good as the series... heard that the guy who wrote wolverine is writing the script.... he better live up to the bar set by the show.... and i specially love the leading ladies n the show... specially Kim raver... she is hot and talented and so is Elisabeth cuthbert... was really glad to see her come back in season 5. looking forward to see season 8 as anil kapoor is in that...",9
"I was disappointed. Normally Marvel produces very great movies however this one was a flunk in my opinion, to much was jammed all at once into it and not only that there was just not enough detail to storyline such as previous Avenger movies.",2
"This show is watchable. But don't expect to be invested in characters and familiar with what's going on. And you can't compare this to GoT. It's not even in the same calaber. My husband and I have an affinity to fantasy, and he has a lot of knowledge. But this is impossible to follow. First, there are way too many characters thrown in your face. They give you nothing to go on. My husband and I say out loud, ""What?! What is happening??"" all the time. Honestly, I could go on and on with what's wrong with this show. But in the end my opinion is that it is watchable. It's not terrible. But it is not satisfying or fulfilling in the least.",4
"I think too much politics (especially hamming in the climate change narrative), drama, and talking got in the way of what could have been a much greater show about multiverse hopping. Best part was Owen Wilson and He Who Remains for sure. We want castles and crocodiles, not forcefed political messages.",7
"The concept had me in the first place when I saw the reviews. I was so sure this will be the horror film that I had been craving for so long. But When I saw it, it got me really disappointed. Wanted to give it 1-star due to this disappointment but kept my emotions aside to rate it 4.

I am not sure why did it got so much high ratings from critics and audience. I mean has the horror standard and expectations fallen so low that people rate this 7 or 8? I was left with wanting for more in terms of story.

Acting was good but the story was poorly written. It could have been a short film of 20 mins instead. I am really disappointed by the execution of such a great concept. It had a potential of being one of those rare horror films which you want to see again and again. But the efforts by directors are not made.",4
"Movie wise this movie has various imperfections. However, this definitely feels like a Harry Potter film, more serious, kind of like the later installments. The film has some entertaining (and LOUD) sequences, that keep you engaged.

The story definitely lacks a lot, in that I was confused at parts about what to care about. The characters are still fun, and the new characters are good.

The film definitely has some interesting plot points, and the ending is bold, leaving you wanting more. The lack of closure is definitely going to bring audiences back, so I think it's successful, but a little too much happening at once.",7
"The series stranger things gave me everything i needed from a series. It made me feel depreesed at the end of the third season and i remember all the dramatic, action and moments of the series and i sigh why this series had to end.",8
"The Netflix show is as deep as a puddle compared to the game or books. This is what you get when you hire a producer who doesn't care about the universe. She half-assed the show because its too much work to do things right when you don't really care. Her arguments against the unbiased criticism received are incongruent and simply wrong. She did a terrible job in what is, luckily for her, a fantastic franchise.",7
"I'm a huge fan of the Witcher. Loved the game and tried to love the series, but it has no meaningful and complex story. It's just 70% silly slapstick.",3
Season one was great. Season 2 was ok. Season 3 shows they lost the mojo. Don't even care if I see season 4.,5
Stay away - don't watch. I have never seen such a boring film in my life 😩,1
This was a movie about a murderers however the telling moment was the conversation with the daughter. The lack of contact with his children was what he deserved. The man was a monster plain and simple without a soul. The film was about 90 mins too long.,5
"Just like the first Season, all the men are pushed to minor roles and Women have taken over. Leading the charge is Molly Parker as Maureen Robinson. While her rugged, navy seal husband is sidelined in almost every episode Mrs. Robinson takes charge and goes it alone to save everyone. Everywhere you look there is some woman in charge of something while the men are minor characters looking on. There is some serious over compensation going on here. And every time you turn around someone has done something stupid and now we are all going to die unless Mrs. Robinson saves the day.",4
"Well, what can I say? The prducers had to get around the Huge issue of the Original Characters story line some way, not Involve Spiderman, secret wars, Klyntar. otherwise any comic book fan should get past these things, go numb a bit then enjoy the movie. As Usual Movie makers try to create things that people who don't bother reading the huge backtrove of comicbooks to relate what they're trying to do in 120 minutes and be palatable to lower IQ individuals. what happened to the old lady and the other two symbiotes? like whatever..eas some expensive popcorn, get a suger high and go dumb, enjoy.",4
The script is really bad. Other than that it's pretty good.,6
"Good action and good cenematography, but weak story. Recommended to watch together if you want to fulfill your time.",7
"While I rated the first season highly (with a unique set of actors and compelling story), the second season appears to be a rehash without a new twist. More Hollywood fluff versus a creative comedy that we saw in season one.",2
"I saw and reviewed ""Fargo"" long ago and I decided to re-watch it tonight....and I am glad that I did. The first time I saw it, I gave it a very poor review....and this time I appreciated it much more. I think the reason, though, isn't all my fault. I think it is because the film had SO much hype....so many people saying it was brilliant that the film simply could NOT live up to all the hype. In other words, while a very good film, it certainly was hyped a LOT when it debuted and garnered a lot of attention during the Oscars. I think it also didn't help that they called it a comedy...which it really isn't.

The story, despite what it says at the prologue, is NOT a true story. It's the story of a greedy idiot and some dangerous idiots who go to work for him arranging for a kidnapping of the man's wife. I'd say more....but at this point there are over 1000 reviews on IMDB.

I recommend you see it. Just adjust your expectations and DON'T think it's a comedy. Yes, a few parts are darkly funny but the Coen Brothers do not appear to have been making a comedy here. I'd put it in the same sort of category as their gritty films like ""Blood Simple"". The acting is excellent, particularly Francis McDormand who won the Oscar for her performance. She played a most unusual character....one who was not funny at all...just a competent sheriff who manages to unravel a weird and most unusual...and bloody case.

Overall, I strongly recommend the film...it's well done, though a few other Coen Brothers films manage to be even better.",8
"Black Mirror is like a modern-day Twilight Zone - a chilling and thought-provoking exploration of the dark side of technology and its impact on society. Each episode of this anthology series is like a cautionary tale ripped straight from the headlines of tomorrow's newspapers. From the dangers of social media to the perils of artificial intelligence, the show dives deep into the murky waters of modern technology, revealing the often unsettling truths lurking just beneath the surface. It's like a wake-up call for the digital age, forcing us to confront the consequences of our ever-increasing reliance on technology and the ways in which it shapes our lives.

The show's writing is sharp and incisive, with each episode offering a unique perspective on the intersection of technology and humanity. Whether it's exploring the ethics of virtual reality, the dangers of surveillance culture, or the pitfalls of online dating, Black Mirror never shies away from tackling difficult and timely topics.

And then there's the performances - from Daniel Kaluuya's haunting portrayal of a man trapped in a virtual prison to Bryce Dallas Howard's chilling turn as a woman obsessed with social media, the cast brings a depth and authenticity to their characters that's as impressive as it is unsettling.

Black Mirror is more than just a TV show - it's like a cautionary tale for the digital age, reminding us that while technology may hold the promise of a brighter future, it also carries with it the potential for great harm. Yet amidst the darkness and despair, there's a glimmer of hope. Each episode serves as a reminder a reminder that the future is not set in stone, and that we have the power to shape our destiny if only we have the courage to confront the darkness within ourselves.",9
"I really, really enjoyed this series because it really provided a different view on the action and superhero genre. It is very gritty, and I liked the creativity put into the series!",9
"How ""A Beautiful Mind"" won the Best Picture Oscar for 2001 is beyond me.Still,it was good to some degree.I heard a lot about that it is not an accurate movie about John Nash.A more accurate portrayal would have been more compelling than what seems to be a movie that has its moments in the first half, but grows repetitive once it reaches the point where John Nash has his mental breakdown.

Russell Crowe did good work,but Jennifer Connelly deserved her Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

The music score was okay,but nothing special.

The makeup people did a very nice job with the last part of the movie where John and Alicia Nash were older.

The movie is somewhat on the slow side but not excessively so.

Overall,it is not a bad movie,but not one of the better winners of the Oscar for Best Picture that I have seen. Let us hope that someone does a mini-series about John Nash that sticks to the facts about him,but I am not counting on it!

I give ""A Beautiful Mind"" a rating of 7/10.Good,but not great.",7
"Tarantino seems to be letting the Manson clan tear his reputation to shreds in this one unfortunately. Why was Margot Robbie even in this film? So that we could watch her dance, walk around Hollywood, watch her own movie in a theater, and then say 20 lines at the end??? I haven't been this disappointed in a movie in quite some time",5
"Looking back, I can now understand why this show was basically doomed from its premise onward.

Silence of the lambs mostly owes its success to the Hannibal character but Sir Anthony H only had 25 minutes total screen time. He wasn't the film's protagonist or the primary antagonist... more of a Virgilian guide to the viewer's Dantesque tour of the darker side of Humanity.

Deciding to focus the show on the Will / Hannibal relationship is quite entertaining ... for a season, but two characters are not enough for a long term plot. Over the second and third seasons, the dialogue shifts from clever high-brow quips and exchanges between the main characters to narrations that are as purple as prose can get.

Most of the supporting characters have two dimensional personalities, motivations and no long term plots are really developed around them.

The guests (mostly killers) are only notable in how inferior they are to Hannibal before they are killed off.

In fact, everyone is inferior to Hannibal. I think it's the show's running joke. He is the Golden Age Super Sociopath.

""A sophisticated intelligence can forecast many things...""

So not just a Shark, but a toothless, predictable Shark to jump.

Its clear that a lot of time, money and effort has gone into the production of the show. However, in the scramble to please as wide a demographic as possible, the creative talent behind the show lost its soul in Season 2, and then compensated with heavy handed metaphors, borrowed lines and cyclical plots.

Season 1 is really the best and only cohesive part of the show. Perhaps it should have ended there.",6
This is really a must watch movie. One of the best crime thrillers I watched. Vishnu vishal (lead actor) as done a amazing job. Also to be noted the villian💯 Every scenes in this movie make your heart beat a bit faster. If you haven't watch it as soon as possible.,10
A simple plot with many inaccuracies.Not at all realistic.Better suited for teenagers.,6
"The first time I saw it, I thought it was about people's inner anxiety. Because anxiety is nowhere to be revealed, sex is an outlet, and lies are a cover-up. But lies also bring pleasure, don't they? Look at John's indulgence. The videotape is the need to express, and it is an another more real outlet. But only John who refuses to give up their lies will not be released. At first I thought it was a boring film but instead gave me a big shock.",9
"I wasted about 45 minutes before I had to leave. That says a lot for me because I am a cheapskate and had paid for a double feature. I couldn't bear to wait through this one for the other.

It was a pretty film, but as with many others in the current generation, fell way short in content. Kind of a beauty is only skin deep kind of thing. My daddy always told me that it was the heart and soul that counts, and this movie has none of that. It was full of tired clichés, presented in a way that made me feel somehow like the director was a cheesy 1950's misogynist trying to make a buck off of girls and women for which he had no real respect.

It is a wonder women allowed themselves to be represented this way, but hey, maybe it redeemed itself in the second half. I just could not waste the time to find out.",2
"It's a lacklustre teenage spinoff of The Boys with focus on modernity, inclusion and progressiveness. It's really not that similar to The Boys other than the gore/shock factor and that it's in the same universe.

Almost everything that made The Boys so great and exceptional has been thrown out the window.

The quality of the CGI really made The Boys stand out, I remember seeing it for the first time and thinking ""Wow that actually looks really good!"". But in Gen V the CGI looks horrible, I mean it's not even comparable, just look at the blood for example.

The Boys felt like they didn't give a crap about today's political debates and the constant talk about diversity, empowerment, progressiveness and so on. Don't get me wrong, I think they had a good amount of these aspects and presented them in a natural way which didn't feel forced.

But in Gen V it feels like it's basically the only focus of the show.

This, along with bad CGI, uninteresting plot, majority of characters being annoying and boring high school drama setting (personal preference I guess) pretty much sums up the show for me.

The one positive thing this show has is the mystery story aspect which is enough to bump up my rating from 1/10 to 2/10.

This show might be interesting for high schoolers but at the same time you have the excessive nudity and gore which again limits the amount of viewers.

To be honest I'm quite surprised of the ratings this show has received, 8/10? Really? That's not even close.",2
"I had high hopes for this film and have been looking forward to it for about a year. I was blown away by the level of humor, the emotion, the meaning, everything! Honestly, it should've been called Ken, as Ryan Gosling stole the show. I've always thought that he was underrated as a comedic actor. He was Ken. He owned it. He deserves awards for completely giving himself over to the character. Having said that, the entire cast was awesome. The music was incredible. The set design was perfect. I laughed and cried throughout. I didn't expect all of the feels, but there were so many messages that touched my heart. I look forward to many more viewings.",10
"This movie and story line fit into the MCU well. I enjoyed it when it first came out, and I enjoy it now, really appreciating the character and relationship developments several years later.",10
"This show is for those who are only here for Loki and nothing else. If you want a good story, good side characters, and good writing, then this show isn't for you. I was expecting great things from a series with Loki as the protagonist, and episode 1 and 2 are not great, but not bad. However, it was the appearance of the female Loki who utterly destroyed the show. And it's not the actress' fault, it's the fault of the writers who wrote her character and the storyline. Even Loki fanfictions I've read have better plot and writing than this series. If you want a good time-travel or time-based story with a well-written Loki as the protagonist who used his silver tongue and quick wit to their full potential, then go read ""Bargaining"" by: proantagonist. Don't waste your time on this series.",4
Season 1 much better than season 2 I will wait to see season 3 only for the sparrow Academy,5
"Lacks building suspense. Lots of tense moments and scenes that peak and trough, peak and trough. Few of the characters, though, make their motivations felt rather than simply voiced, so the story doesn't feel as though it progresses as a whole.

On first attempt, made it three quarters of the way through Episode 1 before giving up. Then foolishly tried again after reading so many positive reviews.

On second attempt, made it to half way through Episode 4 before giving up after realizing that I still didn't care whether the characters made it to their intended destination.

Zombie video games tend to lack a story ark, so perhaps its lack here is to be expected.",5
"This movie doesn't muck around, stabbing you in the eyes from the get go, then proceeding to hold a relentless, vice-like grip until the closing scene.

Benefiting from unheralded film makers and actors, Talk to Me feels fresh, notwithstanding liberal doses of the tried and true horror touchpoints of gore, gross-out humour, jump scares, creepiness and suspense in varying measures. But this is more than a horror movie, there are layers and depth to themes of peer pressure, addiction, grief, loneliness and spirituality.

Fans of the Philippou brothers' Youtube work will leave the cinema ecstatic to see them make a seamless transition to the big screen with a brilliantly conceived and executed movie to match the hype. Those unfamiliar with their RackaRacka channel might be similarly blown away.

The atmospheric influence of The Babadook producers Samantha Jennings and Kristina Ceyton is also worth noting

Other warranted commendations include the casting (Sophie Wilde outstanding), the at-times vomit inducing sound effects, the authenticity of the dialogue and teen interactions, smart pacing and most importantly the haunting storyline which underpins it all. Not to mention a care factor for the characters absent from too many horror / thriller films these days.

An obligatory bigger budget prequel or sequel to Talk to Me has a hard act to follow. Hopefully the Philippous are able to maintain the down-to-Earth elements that made their debut feature so special, demonstrating the unique style and quality of Australian movies.

Let it in.",9
"It could've been an amazing documentary, had Nolan went a slightly different way with it. But as an action movie it's weak on action. As a drama it's weak on acting, character development and as whole completely failed to evoke any emotions in me.

I didn't really care for any of the characters, there wasn't much happening at all and most importantly - for an ""ultra realistic war experience"" it lacked much in terms of actual realism and violence. You could feel the PG-13 in every scene, there's very little focus on suffering/death and it almost makes war look easy. I just expected the complete opposite from the reviews I've seen.

I don't really get where Nolan was going with this. Loved every single one of his movies... until now.",5
"I read the Outsider novel not long after it's release and enjoyed it, for the most part. It had the potential to be a fantastic series. Unfortunately, this series is far from fantastic. The pacing is atrocious; covering roughly 1/2 the novel in the first two episodes. There have been so many pointless changes, even in the first two episodes; that if they changed the name, they'd be sued for plagiarism. Characters with different names. Characters with radical changes to their story (e.g. son now dead, not just at summer camp). Characters completely deleted. One change in particular totally ruined the realism and resulting impact of a certain character'a death. I'm fairly confident that, had I not read the book, I'd enjoy the series far more. There are however, just too many frustrating and needless changes to overlook. The pacing too, knowing what's coming, is a big concern. As previously mentioned, there are still 8 episodes to be filled by the remaining half of the book. It's going to be a drag to say the least.",4
"James Spader stars as a college friend of a husband whose sister in law is having an affair. Spader videos women as they talk about their sex lives, getting them to divulge their deepest secrets to him..

A good movie that takes it time to develop. 8 iof 10",8
"No, no and no. VFX alone will not save a movie. Make a video game, a comic, anything but please don't make it a franchise. The writers were so lazy, it feels they spent exactly the length of the film to write the script.

The charactere are poor, acting is bad, even Sigourney Weaver. I feel sorry for her to impersonate a 12 year old while she had been Ellen Ripley for that director.

Better visuals are achieved by the gaming industry. The scenes of fight are too loud, too long, and make no sense.

Along with my wife it took her 4 evenings to get to the end of it, hoping of a final twist? Nope.

Save some time, read the reviews and open a book.",3
"Ok so I'm actually not even done watching it and there IS clearly a plot. Yes this is a bit slow, and because of that, you miss it. When Grindenwald takes the house over in England or France and shows a mist of Credence, that there my friends is where the plot is laid. He says it right then. From there you have to put some of the pieces together and figure it out. It's pulling from several angles to come in to a major event. And there are PLENTY of beasts btw. And there are friendships there. Idk what some of you are talking about. No neither of these movies are like the Potters, but they weren't meant to be people.",6
"The idea and the realisation is well done, but the development os very slow, there are a lot of moment that you can cut. When you are looking your phone almost the whole episode and you are not missing nothing relevant you noticed that there is nothing impresive about this serie",4
"I don't like super heroes and action movies in general, but because so many people posted that it was a feminist movie I had to check it up. But in my opinion it's not really feminist, it's only less sexist than the average Hollywood film. The female protagonist is a very pretty young woman, she is a warrior, but she doesn't look at all like a warrior, she's not the skinny model type, but she's too slender if compared to real life martial arts or top sportswomen, no broad shoulders, no visible arm muscles. During the film she was fighting a lot, but her face remained mainly relaxed with the lips a bit open to look sexy. A male fighter would frown, grind the teeth and spit like fighters and top athletes of both sexes do when in action. When she met people for the first time, mainly males, they would get impressed by her beauty first, so she's still a object woman. Her shoes had heels, not really handy for martial arts. The age gap between her and the male is OK, 5 years, something not common in Hollywood where most women are mainly almost 1 generation younger than men. She was too easily seduced by the first male she saw. She was frequently interrupted or given orders by the male and mostly she was OK with that. A really feminist woman would not accept a man to be giving her orders. When she sees a baby for the first time she's delighted and wants to touch it, mother instinct stereotype. At least in the beginning of the films some older women were also in the scene.",5
Still an all time classic that does not get dated despite the time period. Hard to watch at times. I skip the violence.,5
Extraordinarily dumbed down script and pacing. Should perhaps have established and built on the relationship between Eddy and Venom. Decent action sequences.,6
"The first two episodes are bang on. Even rate them 11/10. The chemistry between Owen and Tom is so refreshing and mind blowing. They gel together perfectly. The story concept is also pretty neat and keeps you engaged. Hopefully they build future movies and series on it.

The third episode with female lead is just bland. Her screen presence is nothing compared to Tom and the episode just falls flat. Tom has tried his best but the sequence with her and just miserable. Its like Captain Marvel all over again.

Give us more of Tom and Owen. Less of female Loki and this series will be a gateway to new world for Marvel.",8
"I have just watched all 10 episodes over 3 days and I must say it was better than I thought itnwould be. I watched GOT over 2 months last year and the bonus was I didn't need to wait for the next episode as it got hooked. Gutted I only have 1 series of this and am looking forward to second series . Defo worth a watch if your not sure. It paints the picture of what's to come in GOT and the hightowers are like the lannisters in that they would sell their souls for the throne. Just shows that having a relationship with your siblings is never advisable when it c9mes to bearing healthy children , hopefully series 2 isn't too far away as it looks like it could be a good one.",8
"I fucking adore this show. Absolutely loved This season. Though the tone feels a bit different this time, I mean the dynamic between James and Alyssa, also the subtle humor is still there but I thought it isn't quirky or weird as the first season. This season is more emotional I would say. It is about grief, and we meet a new character this season, so the three main characters are dealing with something in the past. The cinematography is beautiful as before and the fucking soundtrack, man it is really awesome. The first episode may seem a bit out of place, but trust me after watching the whole season you'll appreciate it more. They ended the season on a good note. I'm not sure if we're going to get another season, but if not I think it is perfect as it is. I don't know for some reason after finishing it I'm feeling a bit strange like I've lost something. Lastly, I've had a good time watching it. It is really worth watching.",8
I don't like this movie. There is no scientific basis total nonsense don't watch a waste of time.,1
The runtime of this film was justified: it was enough to establish both the scientific and emotional foundation of the story. Jessica Chastain's and Matthew McConaughey's performances were awesome and dramatic as always without overly doing it. The CGI and visual effects were among the bests that I have watched. I just wasn't sure if the movie's scientific basis and references were true and tested but it was interesting and intriguing. The mood of the film was also consistent and dynamic throughout the film: it went from being dramatic and emotional to suspenseful and back to being emotional. I think it was used intelligently and that was what it sets the film apart from other sci-fi films. The twist was also satisfying to watch.,7
Out of too many this is the best Indian movie ever made.,10
"Absolutely hated it. No idea why this is getting so many good reviews. I really wanted to give Youtubers doing their feature debut the benefit of a doubt but I am SOO tired of these same teenage trope movies in current horror movies. As soon as the Sidemen appeared in the cameo it just felt like Youtubers doing a horror movie. People calling this the best horror of 2023 just shows how poor the horror landscape in cinema is nowadays. It is no where near the level of Hereditary. I know they're trying to appeal to gen-z but it's just the same old feeling. Music choices that just takes you out of any form of tension. Why can't someone make a good ol' scary movie without any comedic tropes or witty one liners. The only good bits were just a straight rip off of Hereditary.

Characters they introduced were just phased out. . Final act just ended abruptly. Payoff was unbelievably disappointing. Feel like people reviewing this are all gen-z horror babies who are all giving Oppenheimer 1 star at the moment because they didn't get it.

The only form of discussion me and my brother got from it is the fear of taking too much drugs and not remembering anything from it, but that just wasn't fleshed out in any truly terrifying way, and just kind of made a mockery of it.",1
"No wonder Seth Rogen is very limited and seen even less as this show is one of the most pitiful and idiotic shows that Netflix has put out. I mean good GOD Killer Tomatoes from Outer Space made far more sense then this does.

Rogen tries to use everything in Science fiction all clumped together to make a show and fails in a breathtaking way. If you have seen the terminator movies or Star Trek or Star Wars you have already seen this. And by adding dirty jokes or references to the script does nothing in the way of making it better, nor does the brief nudity that Seth tosses in as an afterthought.

You have to wonder why Seth thought this would be a good idea, but then again with the massive failure of Robot Chicken, a series that he helped with; you now see why as it seems that he did this because he needed the money. I hope netflix didnt pay anyone for this train wreck",3
"Glass Onion is fun and has its twists and turns. That said it's a shell of the former and appears to not have peeled away enough layers to make a truly enjoyable experience. I could near guess the killer inside 30 minutes but you expect to be misled and in fact it's someone else. They didn't remotely step up the game here and its somewhat derivative of itself in a way.

I realize this was covid times, but the masks and references to it didn't drive the narrative which made that seem superfluous. Speaking of which the other island guest with no relation to the group flies in the face of the ""Chekhov's Gun"" theory and found that somewhat strange.

You should enjoy the movie but if you loved Knive's Out, you may find yourself disappointed 😞",7
"A disingenuous, melodramatic, misrepresentation of suicide and depression. The first season is the only one that covers the material from the NOVEL WHICH IT ORIGINATES. I get it though, it was a popular show, and being a capitalist at heart, some eager Netflix exective must've taken to the opportunity like a moth to flame. I hope the cash was worth totally molesting the original material",4
"I like The Witcher's humor and action a lot. The first episodes are kinda bland but still come with some cool scenes. From ep. 3 or 4 on the show becomes very enjoyable to watch. My points of criticism are related to storytelling (portrayal of different timelines; big gaps between episodes' plots) and the handling of characters (not enough background info, I don't really feel attached to anyone). This show clearly does not want to be another Game of Thrones (Netflix executives probably do anyways) so better don't compare them. It's mainly focused on action and small adventures rather than on great character and story arcs.",8
"The Godfather Part II stands among and will be seen as one of the best sequels out there thanks to the wonderful pairing of two fine actors with Al Pacino as Michael Coeleone, putting up such masterful display of acting that makes you want to hail him from the screen as ""The Godfather"" and the other actor that was exceptional was Robert De Niro who played young Vito Corleone. The movie casting is one that will remain in the mind of film watchers for a long time.

The film depicts the different paths in which the Corleone family took, as Vito took the high road of peace during his regime; Michael took the path of violence and taking all his enemies out the moment they show their face, to the point that no matter whom there were, friend or family you cross Michael you are dead.

Partially based on Mario Puzo's 1969 novel, The Godfather, this 1974 sequel is in part both a sequel and a prequel to The Godfather movie released in 1972. The movie features two parallel dramas, one focusing on Michael Corleone's reign and him trying to gain control of the family business, the other story is based on flash backs of how Vito Corleone (Robert De Niro), rose from his childhood in Sicily Italy in 1901 to his coming to America and the founding of the Corleone family.

The plot shows how Michael was looking into expanding his family business to Las Vegas and Cuba. During the process, an attempt on his life was made, and the person behind it was someone close to him, this led to Michael taking out more people. Michael's ruthless behaviour affected his family and trusted friends.

Being the first film to have part II in its name, The Godfather part II was a box office success and it received critical acclaim as one of the best films ever made. The production had some production problems initially when Pacino not wanting to be part of it because he felt the script wasn't OK enough, so Coppola had to re-write it, before Pacino came on board.

The American Film Institute's 10th anniversary of greatest films has the movie rated number 32, and its ranked 3rd in IMDb's Top 100 Movies of all time, with its predecessor The Godfather ranked 2nd. It also got 11 Academy Awards nominations and it won Best Picture for that year. Out of the 11 nominations it won six Oscars which included Best Director for Francis Ford Coppola, Best Supporting Actor for Robert De Niro and Best Adapted Screenplay for Coppola and Puzo.

Al Pacino got a nomination for Best Actor but didn't win although in the BAFTA Award he won the Best Actor award for the film.

The Godfather part II is a classic sequel to one of the best films ever made, so there is no need to see the first if you are not planning of crowning it with the second.

"I wonder when was the last time I got around to watch an acclaimed timeless classic movie where I really felt the same kind of connection as the cult following of said movie seems to have. Taxi Driver was not one of them.

After first viewing I am left sorf of underwhelmed given the legendary status of this movie. The acting, and cinematography are all good. The movie is nice to look at and even given the slower pace it holds the attention. The problem is that after the first viewing I am left somewhat confused about the motivations of the main character. Namely I somehow missed how he arrived at the notion that he wants to get rid of that presidential candidate guy. I refuse to believe that the answer is as simple as ""he is crazy"". Scorsese surely had reason and I believe De Niro knew and acted it out, but it is not so obvious to me, the viewer. That might be one of the reasons to rewatch the movie again and again. The answers are perhaps burried in there. Given how Travis encounters various characters in his taxi, the movie felt at times sort of like an Anthology with the story of the Taxi Driver laid on top. Pretty interesting idea, well executed but somehow emotionally it didn't really connect. I'd say it is a good movie, but do as I did and wait to stumble upon it on VOD or in TV. I don't feel like this is a movie I'd ""need"" to see or own.",6
"I can't believe I am writing a bad Marvel review but I can't lie, this movie was really disappointing. A couple of surprises but I was expecting way more after watching No way home.... Didn't mind the horror side of the story, actually made me laugh. As for the music , I am a huge fan of Danny Elfman but even the music was bad.

I won't watch this one again. Marvel we are used to greatness please don't do that again!",4
"This series is so intense and so good that I forget to reply my girlfriend and now she is very angry with me. She is not replying my text...and when she replies ,she told me please (which is a indication of her anger)🙂🙂🙂",8
"The first season of the series, though it had its moments, initially felt underwhelming and somewhat disjointed. However, the narrative truly finds its stride in the second season, elegantly weaving together the threads laid out in the first. This culminates in a twelve-part epic that, in retrospect, makes the journey from the first episode to the last a rewarding one. It becomes clear that the series could have been effectively presented as a single, unified twelve-part saga.

Central to the series' charm is the titular character, whose portrayal is infused with a unique blend of creativity. The script sparkles with wit, the visual elements are both striking and fitting, and the humor is cleverly integrated. Each of these aspects contributes to a thoroughly engaging viewing experience.

A special mention must be made of the original score by Natalie Holt. Her compositions stand as some of the most remarkable in contemporary music, enhancing the series' atmosphere and emotional depth. The soundtrack not only complements the on-screen action but elevates it, creating an auditory experience that is as memorable as the visual narrative. This score is a testament to Holt's exceptional talent and a significant element of what makes the series so compelling.",8
"First rate acting from the entire cast. Some nits: Bale felt a little over the top. I can't not see the Punisher when Bernthal strides on screen. Balfe played a minor role, but her outburst in the car felt like it was shoved in to provide some character development. McKinnon was absolute perfection, like they just borrowed him from a real pit crew. The story doesn't pull you in. There aren't big dramatic moments that mattered to me. Instead, the acting and dialogue were enough to pull me in and enjoy the flow of the movie.",7
"8/10 How?

The acting, script and story are woeful.

It is like the worst attempt at trying to rival J. K Rowling but falls at the first hurdle.

The acting is like something that Mel Brooks would direct for Young Frankenstein.

At least the actors won't need to worry about type casting as there is nothing to type about.....",2
It's a must watch for any movie lover who looks for creativity and something new. Story of the show is filled with new concepts and glimpse of future. You can't resist to praise maker's creative approach. It's highly entertaining at the same point push you to think for some questions you have ignored so far,9
"Argo was relatively well directed, I'll admit, and for that reason I give it a rating of 4 rather than a 1. But what a crock of revisionist history! Ben Affleck needs desperately to read Timothy Weiner's Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA, which is based on thousands of recently declassified documents.

If Affleck ever does decide to make his way over to the library and educate himself, he'll regret having made this film, which glorifies the caustic incompetence agency, when in reality it should be shuttered for the good of people everywhere, including the United States.

A highly irresponsible film, given that the vast majority of viewers will believe that it portrays a true story.",4
"Stranger Things is the perfect blend of 80s nostalgia and science fiction. And while the first season is undoubtedly the best, the second season still prove to be a fun time. Unfortunately, the show falls down in the third season, as the tension and complex character building is pushed aside for cheap jokes and lacklustre storylines. This isn't to say its a fun time, it's just not comparable with the seasons that came before. Hopefully the Duffer brothers can recapture the magic for season four.",8
I could not take this movie seriously. If I had watched it without knowing what it was maybe I would have given it some thought but the way the people died was so funny to me.,2
"This show is very clever, witty, and full of surprises. I have been a big fan for years ever since the first episode. However, Sofia V.'s role (Gloria) is becoming so annoying as a character that it is ruining the whole show. She continually whines at that crazy high pitch/volume all the time, always with the same complaints and her hypocritical attitude is almost unbearable. Please come up with a new direction for her. After years and years of speaking English, she still sounds like she immigrated last summer. I think her accent is actually getting worse. All the other characters are evolving and yet she still has the same persona as the first season.",4
Did all the people with reviews above 5 go to the same movie that I did? We seem to be thrown into a plot which never seems to explain itself. There is by far too much needless dialogue. Even the D-Box seat I was in did little to jolt me awake.,1
"Immediately felt like a bad made for TV movie. Thought I was watching ""church tv"". Absolute garbage.",3
Well I was expecting great things from an amazing cast and director but found it was majorly disappointing... very very slow and ridiculous violence at the end... waste of 2 1/2 hours of my life.,3
"there are some great ideas that blow your mind when you first see them on screen. in the inception genre, matrix did that. it was fresh and left an impact long after one had seen the movie. great plot, screenplay, direction, editing... the 'dream' idea had that potential but inception hardly does justice to it. the plot is not engaging, it's confusing. the action sequences are lame and clichéd and hardly grab you. there are some nice special effects but for them you don't need to see the movie, the trailer is enough. i wonder what's wrong with movie watchers. they have played right into the hands of the marketing team and bought the hype. rather than using their own sensibilities, i think they are too embarrassed to call a lemon a lemon, fearing 'how can i call it bad when everyone is going ga ga over it.' a below average movie, rated highly by below average audience.",3
"Ben Affleck matches his wooden acting talent as a first time director with this shabby attempt to match in mystery and atmosphere Mystic River. Sloppily edited, filled with cliché performances and tortured plot twists it rings false from beginning to end.

A child has been kidnapped in a rough clannish section of Boston called Dorcester. It's clear that the folks in this hardscrabble part of town have little faith or trust in the cops so the family hire a pair of local private eyes to get some answers. The two then form an uneasy partnership with a couple of veteran detectives as they pursue a rogues gallery of low lives to get some answers. It makes for some very haphazard storytelling on the part of director Affleck.

Keeping things deliberately confusing this patchwork quilt of a mystery is poorly stitched together as scenes bump into each other rather than transition smoothly. GBG jolts the audience in more than one scene but in Affleck's incapable hands the action wanders and the actors remain unconvincing. He seems content to allow his music score to telegraph the emotions of actors who offer little more than solemn stares.

Offbeat casting can sometimes revive tired genre types and instill something fresh into the recipe but Casey Affleck looks like a runaway from a boy scout troop confining his performance to cold expression and side glances. PI partner and girlfriend played by Michelle Monaghan does little more than stand around waiting to jump in a quarry. The chemistry between the two is non-existent. Morgan Freeman and Ed Harris simply punch a clock with Freeman under and Harris over acting. As the abducted child's mother Amy Ryan is excellent but it is the only bright spot to be found in this oafish production that flounders from start to finish.",4
"Best movie, best director, best story, and of course BEST ACTOR! Darr movie's SRK is BACK! THRILLING MOVIE AGAIN after DARR, MY NAME IS KHAN, SWADES, CHAK DE India. Chills down the spine! Climax is heart touching. Making one leaves in tears. Salute to Maneesh Sharma. Everything is perfect. The set is perfect. New locations set. First time, in Madame Tussaud's Museum. SRK is the only actor to shoot there and at NASA. This movie shows how much far a crazy fan go. For his beloved superstar. This movie dedicates to all fans all around the world. This movie turns haters too in SRK's fans. Not needed any publicity. No any marketing campaigns required for such movie.",10
"Update: OK - my initial review was too harsh because I hoped it was going to be a show based on the work of Charles Addams. If you accept it is another YA teen drama with an outcast kid at it's centre it's more watchable. It's just not the Addam's Family really.

At the core of Charles Addams creation was love and familial solidarity: that is abandoned here and replaced by a thoroughly unpleasant, self-absorbed bratty teenager being vile to everyone but especially her mother. I don't think this is ""updating"" the story but completely undermining what we loved about it to begin with. She doesn't seem sassy or funny just rude. The Addams's were always scrupulously polite - even to their enemies - it added to the humour and showed how classy they were, yet Wednesday is yet to offer a civil word to anyone. The success of any show depends to some extent on our identification and sympathy with it's central character but there is nothing at all so far to make you care in the slightest what Wednesday does next. I'm watching it a few minutes at a time and it's hard work.",5
"SpiderMan 2 by far exceeded my expectations. It has surpassed the first movie which is very hard to do these days. The action was amazing and Spidey doesn't look as computer generated as in the first movie. Also, we get a more in depth look at the characters from the first movie. Peter and MJ's relationship really develops through the course of the movie. Harry becomes more and more obsessed with Spidey and the death of his father, Norman, for those of you who don't know. The whole sequence with Spidey and Doc Ock on the train cars is worth the $10 alone. All this and an ending that just leaves you ready for more, craving the next installment! I would highly recommend this movie, see it twice in fact... I will!",10
"Great potential, good characters and the stage was set for it to be a home run. However not everyone wants a heaping side of virtue signaling with their Friday night entertainment. This show definitely had all the ingredients to be good but failed miserably.",4
"Too much political correctness that doesnt add up to the universe. Casting people for anything other than acting skills and the ability to immerse you in the show is wrong...

CGI is weird and great at the same time (the dragon talks without opening its mouth, magical effects are great)

Its good for people who have not read the books to get some backstory",5
"This was possibly the most disappointing movie I've ever seen. There was no ending at all, as if the writer couldn't figure out what the ending should be, so they just stopped filming abruptly before we got any answers. The acting is first-rate, and there are some really funny lines, which is the only reason I gave it any stars at all. But ultimately it's completely unsatisfying, irritating and annoying; the writer is just giving the audience the finger.",4
"First of all, I have seen this Film many, many times. I have watched it and re watched it, and I still can't understand the Praise this film gets. I am first of all A Big Tarantino fan, but NO, i do not like Pulp Fiction and nothing will ever convince me to like it. The Film has become a victim of its own popularity, every knows the quotes and scenes. But that's all it is, a collection of witty dialogue. I Could not care who doesn't agree with me. I'll go as far to say I like the soundtrack, but that's it.

If you want a Tarantino Film that's far better than this Overrated Junk, Watch Jackie Brown.",2
"I think the story line was awesome and horrifying, but although I was able to connect at some point and some point not, it might be the short length of movie. So at the end it was good but not as I made presumption/acceptation with this after watching the trailer. Though technicalities which are used in this movie is also great like movement of camera , screenplay of major artist , sound effect etc .

Warning: this movie is for adult not physically but mentally.

Don't watch with friends,family dare to watch alone it will give more thrills.

I'm eagerly waiting for part 2 looking forward how the the writers gonna dipicts the history or past of ceremic hand.",7
"This mini series was a complete misery and boring show , without any impressive dialogue or any emotional scene and the actors were very disappointing neither do the characters.",1
"The acting was great. A fun story, but there are a few tiresome, political, diatribes that kind of ruin parts of it.

I'm not sure when the books were written, but they are probably better. Hollywood likes to reverse history and facts quite a bit, and I get the sense that that may have happened in this series.

If you can tolerate the tiresome, lesbian, gay, and interracial sex themes that Hollywood loves to bore people with, you'll probably like it.",4
"I do love the Harry Potter universe despite the glaring narratorial issues in the source material. But FB&WTFT is a schlocky, saccharine CG fest with poor characters and poor screenwriting. It's a decidedly average film .",6

"Just when many of us started to think Mr. Shah Rukh Khan is gradually loosing his substance as an actor, he does a Comeback; a comeback with his unmatched acting abilities. And he picked up the right script to do it. After directing 3 youth-appealing romantic films, director Maneesh Sharma indeed gave Mr. Khan that scope to be self-indulged in the film which celebrates Khan's previous masterpieces. Being well supported by the supporting characters, KING KHAN has delivered his one of the best performances. It can never be easy to pull off double roles on screen but the way he maintained the balance between the two contradictory characters of Superstar Aryan Khanna & his hardcore fan Gaurav Chandna, it deserves a lot of appreciation. Despite being consisted of a great script, FAN is not deprived of loopholes. Climax seemed heart- rending but a bit unconvincing & irrational. But, the screenplay keeps the adrenaline pumping for most of the scenes in the movie. To be honest, the film gave few goosebumps & emotional touch at times as a SRK fanatic. The Background Music,Dialogues,Cinematography etc. are perfectly suited with the movie. The idea of a song-less film added more taste to the delicious dish. On a nutshell, Its surely a rejoice for celebrating the whole idea of FANaticism. Not only for the admirers of SRK but the movie 'FAN' is also a treat for every fanatic person,one who devoted to a particular persona from any field. It seemed good as a film but great as a SRK fan. And Mr. Khan aces his on-screen dual characters with ease. Thank You Shah Rukh Khan for gifting a worth-cherishing film after a long time.",7
"... and what let down! Slow to develop and fast and furious action in the end. The whole story line was awful and the ending pretty much may have been the ""endgame"" for me, in watching it any further. You may have to watch it to understand the future development - with new heros and old ones gone - but this has now become more of a ""transformer"" type kid series. So bye, bye for me.",3
"I really can't stand superhero stuff (outside of nostalgia trips to Keaton Batman or Ninja Turtles cartoons) so I went into this expecting to hate this...but actually really enjoyed it.

It's silly, ridiculous, unbelievable, and over the top, but it's a really entertaining take on the genre. Instead of cardboard cutout one dimensional (or really contrived multi dimensional) characters of the last 20 years of superhero garbage, this is more about the dysfunctional family and how they deal with these ridiculous situations they end up in, which are usually a result of all of their personality flaws.

Season 2 showed more character development, and I think it's actually a lot better than season 1. It's no Breaking Bad, Sopranos or even an X Files, but it's a fun little show and is worth checking out.",8
"I've played the games multiple times and read the book so I had high hopes for this show until I watched season 2... WOW, Lauren really screwed up the storyline and Yen's character.",1
Waste of time. Electrifying performances??? Snooze fest,3
"For what it was, well done, but didn't have much drama, excitement, or emotion and there is two and a half hours of it.

I'm well versed in the story having and viewed material about it many times over the years.

Was worth a watch but can't recommend it for your average viewer. There's just not enough there for your average viewer. If your a car person, specifically car history it's possibly more your speed.

I've fallowed Ferrari and the GT40 as far as Ford is concerned; but I'll probably never watch this one again.

Good n then for getting it make but there's not much here for most people.",6
"If I had stopped watching this film three quarters of the way through, I would think that very few if any made it back to England. Considering that the soldiers were not conscripts, the average age of those we saw appeared to be a little too young. There is not much dialogue except from Kenneth Branagh who is a bit OTT and appears to get loads of information although he never seems to leave the pier. However, I give full marks to Mark Rylance. A non acting debut for Harry Styles.",7
A must watch series. A star showed his acting brilliantly ✨. Toss your coin and ratings to The Witcher .,9
"I personally had high hopes for this show. Intriguing idea with modern FX could have put this show on must watch list of any sci-fi fan.

Unfortunately, after finishing 10 episodes I could not recommend it as a sci-fi show. I cannot say it was a total waste of time, I do enjoy well done visuals (even though this show does not have the best FX. To be fair I cannot expect superb FX from average show)

Main issue as many pointed out is the script and scientific flaws. Many complain about overabundance of PC and it is true, however, sci-fi genre always tackled current political or social issues in one way or another. So, I'd say that PC issue alone would not ruin this show.

True sci-fi ALWAYS builds upon known scientific knowledge and either incorporates known but not proves scientific concepts or makes bold extrapolations based on available knowledge. Not so in LiS. So many things just happen like magic.

Faulty science: F.e in first episode water freezes from bottom up and super fast. Cool FX not cool for sci-fi. It would be fine in fantasy genre in show like Shennara Chronicles but not in LiS. Could have been fixed by for example using gallium, would also add to ""alien"" factor of the planet itself that has lakes of gallium.

My personal pet peeve is disregard for physical properties of objects like weight. In episode where dr Smith is carrying a part of the robot as though it is a plastic prop belongs only to bloopers. Unless, dr. Smith is an incarnation of Thor itself... Hmm... I understand that all those props are mostly plastic, but but but for goodness sake at least fake it that it is heavy... Disregard for weight puts sci-fi show into fantasy genre automatically. (btw dr Smith character is quite supernatural so she might be Loki's/Thor's sister or girlfriend or maybe even mother of both because her cunning ability to see everything, know everything and spin everything is well beyond of capabilities of us mere mortals)

Inconsistencies: Scenario with above mentioned lake in 1st episode. Water in lake rapidly froze indicating temperatures way below freezing point, yet, the rest of the crew walk around with exposed limbs not experiencing any effects of cold. Could have been fixed by adding some type of personal heating cooling technology.

Few minutes later it rains and water pools on the ice before instantly freezing. Again, water had to be super heated and dropped from 10ft above their heads to avoid freezing and precipitating as snow/ice to achieve such effect.

Another one in the same episode, it seems despite of freezing cold subzero temperatures, couple hundred feet away there is vegetation and life. Can only be explained by magic. If they wanted to go into extreme environments in small area then artificial environment must be employed, something like in Hunger Games. It could have added additional mystery and ""alien"" factor to the planet and would add planet itself as an integral part of the story (otherwise, based on 10 episodes planet itself has no significance whatsoever)

There are also quite a good amount of holes in the story itself and plentiful amount of quite ridiculous decisions made by the crop of humanity...

So all in all if you are more into fantasy genre I would rate it as average show, watchable with kids deserving 5-7 stars. As a sci-fi show it does deserve 3-5 stars maximum. I am giving it 2* to counteract all those 10 star reviews many of which sound more like bot submitted or paid. I understand that some people probably enjoyed it very much. After all, all of us have different tastes and I assume target audience of this show is younger fantasy fans. But for sci-fi fan all inconsistencies and disregard for science are too painful too enjoy.

So yeah my 2 cents... (English is not my first language so pardon my grammatical errors) Oh, and script writers, if you will ever stumble upon my review I'd be glad to provide some ideas on how to improve sci-fi part of the show before it goes live ;)",2
"Here's The 4K Lowedown on ""Venom: Let There be Carnage"" (PG-13 - 2021 - Blu)

Genre: Fantasy/Comic My Score: 7.2

Cast=9 Acting=6 Plot=8 Ending=9 Story=5 Imagine=7 CGI=9 Pace=8 Comic=5 Funny=6

Eddie Brock attempts to reignite his career by interviewing serial killer Cletus Kasady, who becomes the host of the symbiote Carnage and escapes prison after a failed execution.

""Eddie, I apologize that I can't mend the heart...emotional pain hits much harder and it lasts longer."" I actually liked this more than the first. The CGI and the ending were a lot better, but the story and true to the comic element I wanted was kind of a letdown. Is it weird to say that I am a fan of the cast but not the roles they play? A solid movie overall but I needed it a bit stronger for MCU quality.",7
"When this movie actually knocked off a few shows of the high profile Saawariya I knew I had to see it, the reviews were very good as well and i must confess i had unnecessarily high expectations from this movie.

The first thing that struck me about this movie was Kareena Kapoor, I've never really liked her, but the moment i saw her climb the train i was smitten, the non-bitchy look really works for her, and i must confess my opinion of her after this movie has completely changed, she looked superb and her acting was very good as well, HER LOUD TALKATIVE CHARACTER ENDEARED MOST OF THE TIMES BUT THERE WERE TIMES IT GOT ON THE NERVES AS WELL (may have been intentional).

THERE IS NO DOUBT THIS IS COMPLETELY HER MOVIE, shahid makes very good attempts at making this film his but there is no doubt who will walk away with all the kudos.

The movie starts quite well and at a good pace, the hotel decent sequence was particularly brilliant, as were most scenes with the family throughout the movie.

The entire cast including does very well with very good casting specially of the family, nobody really had much of a role except shahid and kareena but each and everyone does a good job in their limited roles.

The movie really loses out is towards the later part of the second half, the reconciliation scene between the 2, the useless song, and the extra long stretched out sequence before the light dawns on Kareena was particularly excruciating though surprisingly un-melodramatic, still this is clearly the weakest part of the movie and what brings down the ratings.

The humour and the 2 main protagonists are clearly the hallmarks of this movie, but what also endears is the lack of melodrama even the climax of the movie which is tailor made for tears had none of them, the kiss was unnecessary considering most of us have scene photos/mms of a much more passionate kiss between the two, hehahaha.

The cinematography of this movie was also very good, the filmmakers were equally adept at capturing the small town station, as they were with the haveli, and the mountains.THE LACK OF FOREIGN LOCALES WAS PARTICULARLY GOOD, AND THIS MOVIE CLEARLY SHOWS THAT THE SCENIC BEAUTY OF India IS MORE THAT ADEQUATE. Indeed the mountains and its people looked brilliant, im sure thats where im going for my next vacation.

I am an ""in the closet"" romantic comedy lover (obviously ill deny it later), and although i give it full marks for the lack of melodrama ((which is most undesirable for me), the over stretched ending was still very bad.

IF you keep the right expectations unlike me and maybe even pay lesser rates like me than this movie is a clear winner, watch it on TV or DVD and you cant go wrong.

-s the end and nothing but the end.

+/-s kareena did annoy sometimes.

+s Kareena Kapoor, less melodrama, good comedy, nice small movie feel, great acting all around.

total 7/'0 (just fell below expectations that may have been too high but don't want to spoil others experience by giving it a higher rating).",7
"Not since The Transporter had I seen an action movie containing ALL the clichés of the genre. But while The Transporter laughs at them, the action scenes are both fun and great, and each new cliché introduced only serves to reinforce the joke, John Wick transports you to this state of mind where you're already guessing what's going to happen afterwards but you are hoping that it really really does not, mixed with a fascination at realizing that yes, it actually happens. I cannot understand how it can anything like the scores it has. The script is terribly bad. Action scenes are _mostly_ OK, but inconsistencies in the story and bad lines ruin them.",2
"Dont expect a deep plot. It's just a fun movie with explosions. I found the parkour stuff fun and exiting to watch. Only a little bit tired of Renolds playing a sarcastic dude. The other actors where fun to watch If there will be a part two of tree I don't mind. I would watch it, just for a lazy Sunday afternoon movie.",7
This movie is totally depressing! I don't understand how it got four stars?! I read some of the reviews and most of them were full of crap. Many people that reviewed this movie had a philosophical spin to this depressing movie. These people are full of philosophical BS! Black and white; THIS MOVIE SUCKED!!,2
"It's meant to be an ""I hate the rich"" and a nod to Musk. The truth is, for all his unpredictability, Elon Musk is a very honest man. He says exactly what he thinks. And he is a caring man. He doesnt opt out on his friends.

Maybe if this was aimed at Gates, but it really isnt. It's once a agin very full of itself wit the message. What would have been funny is if the owner of the ocean front property was a climate change activist like Al Gore or Obama, both of whom own ocean front property.

This will probably never see the light of day, but this is just like Knives Out but more so. Insufferable.",1
"Another spin off series to add to the pile, but how does it measure up?(pretty well) We all know that this is a Game of Thrones spinoff, and it wears that on it's sleeve, its just as much of a character drama as Game of Thrones with some spectacle and battles sprinkled in. Set about 200 years before the events of GoT and no prior knowledge of the show and the universe is required.

The Good: The visuals and effects are pretty great, the world is beautiful and immersive as hell, you are sucked in as soon as the show begins.

The music is spot on, they used the same composer as the one who did GoT, and it shows, because they clearly know how to sell a scene.

The characters are very compelling, no one seems like some perfect being or a complete idiot, they all have their own motivations.

The story is tight knit and very eventful, things are always happening, the world continues to unravel as the show goes on, with unexpected twists here and there. I'm glad to say that they clearly took the finale of GoT to heart and are sticking closer to the source material, the world is so captivating and alive, you learn about the different houses and kingdoms and their political imbalances and struggles.

The Bad: There is a LOT of time skips, the show moves so fast that they have to switch some actors to keep up with the jumps in age. This can be jarring, but it's kind of necessary to set the scene of the show and keep the pacing up to scruff.

This is a GoT spinoff, if you didn't like that, you definitely won't like this. It is through and through, a character and political drama.

You are bound to dislike a/some character(s) in this show, everyone has questionable morals, and it's probably going to annoy some people.

It does not reach the highs of GoT season 1

Final Thoughts: This show was definitely not perfect, but as a spinoff to one of the most critically acclaimed shows of all time(minus s8), it can reach those highs if it keeps going in the same trajectory. Am definitely excited for a season 2.",8
"House of the Dragon is nothing than a decent show, but is hampered by an inherent inability to mirror the power of the original, and also by a crucial gamble that severely limits one's ability to be reimmersed in the Westeros universe.

This Targaryens-and-dragons-based series will trace the rise of House Targaryen from Aegon's Conquest through to the civil war known as The Dance of Dragons. This series is based on George R. R. Martin's Fire & Blood, a novel that exists in a finished form and covers all of the above material. Game of Thrones, one season covers one book. But that's not possible with Fire & Blood. There are too many kings, too many battles, and too many events in both the early going and in the later parts. Far more likely is that the show is planning to do a multi-season run, with each of these sections taking up at least one season, if not more. Most likely, the first seasons will cram all of the Aegon's Conquest battles in a rush to end with the forging of the Iron Throne. But the series would be better off splitting that war over two seasons (there's just so much history to cover) and end the first with the Burning of Harrenhal, instead.

Either way, combat is coming.",5
"Talk to Me is a 2022 Australian horror film directed by Danny and Michael Philippou. The film follows a group of friends who discover how to conjure spirits using an embalmed hand. They become hooked on the new thrill, until one of them goes too far and unleashes terrifying supernatural forces.

The film has been praised for its creepy atmosphere and effective jump scares. However, some critics have found the film to be derivative and overhyped. If you replace the embalmed hand with a Ouija and a seance, then you pretty much have a film that has been done before. The embalmed hand just replaces the ouija and seance.

I found Talk to Me to be a watchable but not in the same level as A24's Hereditary. They aren't even the same type of horror film so I don't understand the comparison made between both films other than they were both produced by A24.

The film has some good ideas, but they are not fully developed. The characters are underdeveloped and the plot is predictable. I would have liked if they developed the spirits of the great beyond better than they did.

Overall, I wasn't impressed with it because of how overhyped it became. I walked in with higher expectations because of the hype and it failed to deliver. Its watchable, but maybe just once. Hereditary can be watched multiple times and analyzed because the film was significantly better developed. But I can't see both films being compared because this is more of a teen horror film.

Here are some of the things I liked about the film:

The creepy atmosphere. The film does a good job of creating a sense of dread and unease. The effective jump scares. The film has a few well-placed jump scares that will make you jump out of your seat. The gore. The film is not afraid to show some violent blood and gore.

Here are some of the things I didn't like about the film:

The underdeveloped characters. The characters are not very well-developed and it is hard to care about them. The predictable plot. The plot is very predictable and there are no real surprises.

The pacing issues. The film has some pacing issues and it drags in some places.

Overall, I would give Talk to Me a 6/10. It is a watchable film, but it is not a great film. If you are a fan of the horror genre, you may find some things to enjoy in this film, but I would not recommend it to someone looking for a deeper story like what you would find in Hereditary or Midsommar.

In terms of the film being overhyped, I think that is a fair assessment. The film has been getting a lot of positive buzz, but I think it is being praised more for its potential than for its actual execution. The film has some good ideas, but they are not fully realized. The film also suffers from some pacing issues and underdeveloped characters.",6

"Popped this in the other night and only made it through the first hour before I couldn't stay awake any longer. What I saw to that point was a fairly harmless romantic comedy that featured a couple of nice performances.

The next night I resumed watching and it was like the movie entered the Twilight Zone. Gone was the warm, quirky beginning and in its place came something that can only be described as a mix between an After School Special and a CAIR-funded work of propaganda. What's the old joke? ""Muslims fear backlash from tomorrow's terrorist attack"" Acts of retribution on innocents are to be condemned in the strongest terms but this movie falsely depicts an America steeped in bigotry and hate. In fact, Islam has mostly been accorded a special status in America since 9/11. It began that very week with President Bush insisting that Islam is a ""religion of peace"". The scene with the teacher railing against the violence of Islam? It's far more likely in the post 9/11 world that a school would insist its non-Muslim students learn a sanitized version of Muslim history, perhaps even asking them to wear Islamic dress or try a sample fast for Ramadan. This isn't a political board and I don't want to get off topic because the point is that these film makers seem to have only a passing familiarity with the United States, yet they made the country as a whole one of the characters in their film -- and in doing so chose to depict it in a very poor light.

A grievous example of this was the fictional town in Georgia that appeared to be a Disneyfied version of an 1880's sharecropper village. One that has remained in the same ossified state well into the 21st century. Yes, some towns are poorer than others but can you find me a single example of an American small town where there are only cow paths and not a single paved road? Where every denizen resides in a ramshackle wooden shed? As embarrassing as this was, the post-hurricane scenes are even more ridiculous. A hurricane that lasts a month? A town completely bereft of modern medical facilities or any modern structure? The only ones bothered enough to offer relief are out-of-towners who come on foot? This may or may not happen in some backwater South Asian town during the monsoon but it bears no resemblance to reality in the United States.

And so what was this all building to? The further deification of Barack Obama, it would appear. Was it a love story? A story of justice for young Sameer? A tale of hope and inspiration in the face of adversity? Who knows? After nearly 3 hours, the viewer can't be sure of anything other than it's time for another song.",4
Some of the decisions characters made did not make any sense. Locking up Vanya after discovering that she had great powers was going to end well? Not. Their inability to see until the very end that she is the person that causes the apocalypse also not very believable.,7

"I think it is foolish and unthankful to compare this to GOT. It's just not that captivating. GOT's writing, except for the last season, was way more advanced. I almost dropped The Witcher midway through the pilot and am still thinking whether to continue. The characters are too shallow, naive and not given enough time to introduce properly. They just don't seem to have the weight and emotional hooks like GOT had.

Remember how GOT started? It started with one or two of the many subplots, it let us spent some time with a few people , to get to know them, it hinted at a mystery and something supernatural up North, then worked itself out from that point, introducing new characters and subplots at just the right time.

The Witcher feels like it spilled its entire guts in one episode, like one of those trailers that reveals too much. It really feels like a game with levels and we are at level 1, we already know it must progress to level 2, etc, with a lot of first person sword swinging and that makes it boring already.

Fine, if you enjoyed the game and liked the books, and are now enjoying the series, but The Witcher doesn't need to burden itself with GOT. That's a high bar, and judging by episode 1 this is starting out as another one of those Netflix high calorie/low fibre shows, that just resembles the GOT setting.",5
What a piece of sh**. One of the worst movies I have ever seen.,2
"I get that the first film made over 800 million on a PG-13 rating, but how can you have a character like Carnage, who has some of the most violent and graphic stories, watered down to a PG-13 movie? Especially in an age of Deadpool and Logan being very profitable. I did like it a lot more than the first movie but still....",5
"Jennifer Lawrence stars as Dominika Egorova in this psychological thriller starting as a Prima ballerina that suffers a horrendous career ending injury. After finding out the truth and getting revenge, her uncle Ivan Egorova, played by Matthias Schoenaerts, asks a favor to get her out of trouble. Without the benefits she receives from dancing such as, medical and living expenses, she must find another way to keep her mother well. Facing this, her uncle sends her to work for the state, which leads her to sparrow school where she learns how to manipulate targets using her mind and body. Upon graduation, her first assignment is to seduce a CIA agent which leads to bloody brawls and near-death experiences.

I found this film to consistently feed on a theme of deception with each and every character. We follow Dominika almost exclusively, but we get to see other characters motives from an early stage, which all come to fruition later on. Something that pushed the theme even further specifically was when Dominika is being tortured. We see the film angle showing us how powerless she is in that situation. Another is the motif of innocence as we see her hold on to this idea throughout the film, from denying allegations to denying men in their desires. Espionage pushes the idea of deception further as a couple of the characters we meet complicate the film even more. I really like how each step taken in this film seemed as if there was an underlying reason to it, with most of the scenes in the film having significance later on. This was a refreshing watch because most films these days just tell you what is going on instead of making you put it all together yourself.

Overall, this film does a very good job at keeping you interested through the longer run time that it features. The acting also keeps you engaged as we see Jennifer Lawrence do a fantastic job with the sociopathic character she plays. With that being said, this film may not be for the faint of heart. It is filled with some scenes that are gut wrenching and sometimes difficult to watch in both violence and sexual material. Many of those scenes, grotesque as they may be, provide a real and raw look into what Dominika had to go through in order to survive and provide for her mother. Many of the dead spaces are filled with thought provoking scenes or violent fighting that helps push the plot along without the presence of boredom. This film is a must watch, from the acting to the thrilling deception that is built through layers of violence and lust.",9
"Absolutely gripped from first few minutes of the first episode and at time of writing the review I'm impatiently awaiting the final episode, one of the finest tv series ever made.",9
"I was very surprised to see that David Yates directed these.

I see lack of visual storytelling, it's more straight to the point: here is this character, he's saying that, then they're doing this stuff, here's that.

Beautiful production design, good VFX, very good concept design (actually, these movies feel like a bunch of moving concept arts) but otherwise it's too non-outstanding. There's no magic, I can't relate to anything and I don't feel being in this magic world.

Maybe it's due to many films set in 20s being released during that period, so that they all look alike?

Or maybe there was a goal to create something very different from Harry Potter. Anyways, these movies don't feel like early, more naive HPs, nor like later, darker ones directed by Yates.

Also, too many new people every time, and it's too hard to relate to any of them, sometimes even to remember them.

It's sad that now, having so much power over imagery we got into playing with 3D too much, and totally forgot about storytelling and working with camera / actors feeling like their characters and not themselves. Likewise, in HPs all the fantastic animals/things looked real, as if they could really exist, even the most non-lifelike. These are very nicely produced technically, but absolutely not believable.",5

Tajmahal1989 - an underrated GEM from India on Netflix!,8
"The only (only) issue with this series that made it less-likable was the return of the antagonist - Dr. Smith. The character was annoying in the original series, distracting from what is the primary intrigue of imagination in the outer space travel, -- the very (and this is the only (only) initial draw to these sci-fi series) - which then we, the viewers, begin the journey to get to know the characters, and engage in our enthusiasm. Star Trek series, Next Gen, Enterprise, Voyager, Deep Space Nine... we love because there are no conflicts among the crew. The storylines have episodic happy endings. Witty lines parsed in & no antagonism within the ship, if you will. They fight outside enemies, but the crew are family to each other, engaged in storylines to include highlights of their friendship. Personally, I am not 'engaged' in a conflict like Dr. Smith making everyone miserable, mistrusting, ruining things... Were it revised where the storyline either got rid of the Dr. Smith character early in the series, or simply eliminated the character and began the storyline after Dr. Smith was gone, it would be fabulous from the start. I love Toby Stephens, he should have wit written in for him. He is very funny, clever actor, and they limit him to just the serious. There is no humor, or lightness for us to enjoy... only problems, until having invested in the full series to have a last minute potential where finally Toby has good lines (afloat in space) and finally as well some potential for a future. This show could have gone on to successes of Star Treks, as the sets are great, effects great, actors great, everything perfectly set up... only for the audience to have to become disengaged for all of the 'conflict' to continuously deal with. Who wants that? Really? Why do writers and producers think that an audience will continue to be enthusiastic with antagonist conflict? Answer is so simple. We do not. So, do not write it like that. Do not waste money & time - only to lose your audience in a story of arguments and disappointments. Instead, write it positive, make money, allow your viewers to be eager. ps. Toby Stephens BBC series ""Vexed"" is fabulous. Funny. Witty. A must-see. This series could have gone on, but least they did produce 3 great seasons.",9
Potentially an interesting storyline but poorly written; difficult to follow; excessive flashbacks and scene jumps; not at all a believable sci-fi. Only interesting scenes take place washing clothes in the laundromat.,3
"This series is definitely on my top 10 personal favorite TV shows list. I've never seen the original show or the movie, but this show is refreshingly delightful and fun! It's clean enough that I can watch it comfortably with my younger siblings and my parents. It's cheesy at times and the science is occasionally dodgy, but the show runs really well with it. The characters are very well rounded; they all have their flaws and traits, and the villain is chilling and well thought out. Dr. Smith makes me more scared for the characters than any physical threat. The Robinson family start out kinda drifting apart in season 1, but come back together very organically throughout the season (bring tissues, some of these bonding moments are doozies). The visual effects and practical effects are definitely top notch for a TV show, especially for one that tends to get overlooked. Plus the OST is done by John Williams. Like listening to gold.",9
"As a lifelong fan of the Moon Knight comic books I was excited to see that they were finally adapting this character for screen, though I was also mildly disappointed by the fact that it was going to be a Disney+ original series instead of a feature length film like I think this character deserves. Though I also understand that Moon Knight is historically not as popular a character as some of the other marvel heroes such as Spider-Man, or Iron Man. So I suppose it makes sense that studio execs would be hesitant to spend the money necessary for a feature length film.

Being an original series aside however, Moon Knight looks much more cinematic than one would usually expect from a show kin to television which was a huge relief to me because I tend to greatly dislike the cheap quality of television in terms of the general look and feel of things. The show has a dark, almost Batman like quality (which I don't think was an accident) and has very snappy, deliberately disjointed editing to really help us get in the head of Steven Grant.

Steven Grant is a troubled individual who works in a kind of natural history museum's gift shop. He clearly has a significant interest and nack for Egyption history that his boss refuses to see. Steven also feels the need to tie himself up in bed and take other various precautions because when he falls asleep he tends to wake up in other parts of the world or in awkward confusing situations. This episode is mostly an expository episode where we learn about the character Steven and his alter-ego(s).

Oscar Isaac does a great job portraying this character and looks like he is completely sleep deprived and stressed out all the time. This first episode we only see Isaac play Grant and very briefly play Spectre. These two characters obviously being very different from one another, I'm excited to see how Isaac does transitioning between an innocent and shy gift shop clerk to a ruthless mercenary in future episodes.

Ethan Hawke is in it as well as some kind of cult leader that judges people's characters by what they will be in the future as opposed to who they are in the present or what they have done in the past with dire consequences if being found guilty. Again, this opens up some doors to interesting moral questions that can be addressed in future episodes. Is this minority-report-esque future judgment the right thing to pursue? Is it moral to kill baby Hitler? I think this take can certainly go interesting places, especially in a show about a hero of dubious morals such as Moon Knight.

So far the series has plenty of interesting visuals and creative decisions to keep me interested in continuing watching the series. I'm Looking forward to seeing where they take the series in the coming episodes.",8
"There is absolutely zero entertainment value here. Kate looking frumpy and playing as unappealing a character as can exist leads a group of uninteresting characters in a small unlikabke town.

I've no idea what kind of people are giving this tepid junk high ratings but I wouldn't like to know them. Hard hard pass.",1
"It is a fantasy someone made up. Educate yourself about the real life of John Forbes before you decide how you feel about this movie or at least before you vote and comment on it here. Or maybe state your disinterest in knowing the real life a schizophrenic lives and your preference to embrace a Hollywood warm and fuzzy notion instead. John Forbes' true story could've been told with just as much craft and made a real step toward understanding a schizophrenic's struggle but instead we were dealt a manipulated schmalsification of a real life lived in the grip of an overpowering disease. I have had schizophrenia in my family and I have watched their realities unfold out there for the rest of us to gaze upon with twisted Malcolm in the Middle faces...it is achingly painful and takes a terrible toll on all those who love them. His life with a few small twists? Get outta town! This could've been a great movie - Russell Crowe delivered a flawless performance and the presentation of the actual schizophrenic events was excellent, but there it stops. Want to know what schizophrenia really does to a life? - read the true story and don't be sucked in by this Hollywood fuzzy camera lens smoothing out all the trauma and scars.",3

"Making laugh is not an easy art, even though you have an excellent cast, director and scenography, as you can tell after seeing this not-funny comedy.",5
"The movie isn't bad though, it's still a pretty good superhero movie, but a ""masterpiece""? Definitely not.

The movie has plenty of heart and the score remains good. Peter Parker's character development is pretty good as well as Doctor Octopus being a good villain. When watching for the first time it's a ver fun and enjoyable ride... for the first time.

Looking at it after the film doesn't really hold up, everything thing on a first watch seems fun because you didn't expect it, but after you know what happens it's just kinda bland, not that everything is uninteresting but instead of having alot of standout, 9-10/10 moments it feels like one big 7/10.

So yeah, it's a good movie sure, but definitely overrated imo. The first one was much better. 7.5/10.",7
"I love the Harry Potter books but have thought the movies have been less that stellar. And this movie was probably the worst one yet because it was so boring. Hardly anything happens except we see Harry, Ron, and Herimone wondering throughout forests, graveyards, and old houses. A couple of fake looking snakes make an appearance. About half the film is them looking for a locket, the other half finding out how to destroy it. They should have just made a 4 hour TV mini-series out of this.

FINAL VERDICT: If you've watched all the Potter movies, then you have to watch these last ones just to see how bad it can get.",4
"Let me start this off by saying that I am the biggest Harry Potter fan I know. I've loved the books and adored the films all throughout my life. So, i hope hat shows that I am not just a Harry Potter hater when I say that this film is an aimless mess. Characters just wander around for the entire run time with with very little happening at all. For a movie called The Crimes of Grindelwald, he surprisingly doesn't do that much. The script is so unbelievably tone deaf that I was legitimately bored in the theater. All of the performances are very strong especially Johnny Depp as Grindelwald and Jude Law as Dumbledore and the film is very well directed but the script written by J.K. Rowling is very dull and uninspired. By the time things start to get interesting it ends.",2
"MCU fans will tell you, Captain America: The Winter Soldier is great. Better than great. The internet is clogged with reviews from endless Youtube pseudo-critics and Marvel shills whose entire cinematic knowledge stems from Breaking Bad and The Dark Knight, calling The Winter Soldier a game-changing masterwork. It is not. It's every bit as dull and uninteresting as every other ephemeral episode of The Marvel Cinematic Money-printing Machine. And it's aggressive mediocrity is yet another piece of evidence in my continuing theory on MCU apologists; they're idiots.

That's harsh, I know. Some fans out there are perfectly content admitting that a movie like The Winter Soldier offers only disposable pulp thrills. However, it's the people claiming The Winter Soldier as 'innovative', or 'revolutionary' that really irk me. The chief reason given by these idiots is that Captain America: Winter Soldier is a superhero movie that is also a ""70s political espionage thriller"". Let's break it down. Yes, Captain America 2 contains elements of political espionage. The storyline involves two political organizations, S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra, a covert assassin (The Winter Soldier, Sebastian Stan), and Robert Redford (He's from the 70s). This is called window dressing. Surface decorations that evoke the feeling of a conspiracy thriller. What The Winter Soldier does not have is the actual structure of a political thriller. It's an efficiently made, TV-style superhero flick. The good guys punch the bad guys, the cars crash into each other, and the big CGI heli-carriers crumble like peanut brittle.

There's nothing wrong with a superhero movie that only does these things. A schlocky action movie can be very enjoyable on that basic level, but only if the film embraces its core identity. When a movie like this fails, it does so because it wastes energy trying to be something else. Captain America: The Winter Soldier pretends to deal with issues. It pretends to be about real figures. But it's pretend. S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra are made-up, and as much as directors Anthony and Joseph Russo want you to recognize these things as analogous to our real institutions, you can't when it's all connected to a silly comic book world where a guy named Falcon flies around blasting machine guns at faceless goons.

The cost of this focus on being a half-prestige picture is that nothing is allowed to go over the top. Want more proof that this film's champions are idiots? Look at the fight scenes that they praise as masterclasses in filmmaking. A fist fight in an elevator. Revolutionary! Look at those punches and kicks! It's unlike any other film I've ever seen! A fist fight on a highway. Brilliant! Hand to hand combat! Never before has a hero used his fist to punch another man! #Masterpiece! I can't be living on the same planet as these people. The action in Captain America 2 is not only not revolutionary (That is extremely obvious), it's flat-out bad. Hand to hand fist fights are usually boring by nature. It takes a real master of film craft to overcome the blandness inherent in such a scene. Cameron can do it, Raimi can do it, The Russo Brothers can't come close. There is absolutely no sense of invention in the action. No passion. No ideas at all. Just punches, filmed with detached digital murkiness.

I can't think of a better way to describe Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The whole thing is detached. It's a filler TV episode. Efficiently produced, with the façade of something meaningful, but completely uninterested in personality, life, or genuine fun/excitement/thrills. It's boring, transient garbage that managed to fool stupid people into thinking it was great. Well idiots, you get what you deserve.

"One of my favorite movies in the MCU. Mainly due to the fact that there are so many super heroes in the movie and it's funny, serious and full of action.",10
This movie tried to be to comedic and for me the majority of the humor didnt land and made things stupid. Carnage was not interesting at all except for the final fight which i still wanted more then i got but it was the saving grace of this movie. This should have been better then what it was.,5
"If you've watched all of the Live Action Marvel Movies released by Disney of course you will find yourself watching WandaVision. Who doesn't want to find out what the aftermath of one of the Avengers after End Game. The simple fact that this show is Canon to the Marvel Cinematic Universe will compel you to watch it.

Getting through the beginning of this series was rough. The first three episodes do not feel like a Marvel Movie but rather you are forced to go through sitcom like episodes of the past that are similar to the programming of old Nick at Night cable channel.

You can definitely see the Disney influence in the campy nature of the show. Fortunately once you get past the first three episodes the show picks up steam and you'll start to enjoy the show again as we find out what is actually going on.

The final episodes are the highlight of the show but you have to go through some cringe worthy episodes before you get their.",6
Movie is good. Just nothing horrifying for audience. Vision is original it's a survival instinct movie cliche of mother and her motherhood Could have gone little more in depth in terms of storyline but as we know taken from novel. So can not play with the something already written Movie is good for one time watch,7
"Scenery and costumes are still to a high standard, similar to GoT, but the actors, storylines and intrigue is so much less than the orginal GoT. The actors look like puppets, there is hardly any expression and seem to be going through the motions. I don't feel any connection with any of them, the storyline doesn't make it easy either with nothing special happening where the viewer could get excited about no small scenes to built those emotional connections that were plentiful in GoT and the pretty much total lack of intrigue and plotting against each other, too little strong contenders for the throne that get actually developed. So all in all, very disappointing, even coming down from the last season of GoT. HoD is picking up later in the season, episodes 7-9 are a bit better, but too little and too late.",3
"The plot is fine. It's pretty basic, and certainly nothing more clever than what you'd get from a TV show. But it's entertaining enough to watch.

Sandler and Aniston don't really have a good on-screen chemistry. And Sandler's character, supposedly a NYPD sergeant, is not believable--parking enforcement, maybe--but it's a weak plot device. The early dialog is jarringly stupid and not funny, even for a Sandler movie. But once the story moves along, combined with the action sequences, it gets less stupid and comes together as a more enjoyable action comedy.

So, in short, it starts as a 2 and ends as a 6, so I rate this a 4.",4
"I was a little disappointed by this, I think it was overhyped. The characters are weird, almost cartoonish in both their acting and characterisation yet the violence in the film is very realistic and sinister. It's this clash of tones which just didn't feel right to me.

I don't know if you're really expected to believe what you're seeing e.g. A crime scenes gone over by bumbling cop instead of an expert forensic team for instance.. The film has these subplots too which feel forced in. This was shot on film and it's a good blu ray transfer, the cinematography is pretty well done, the sound and editing are also fine. The script though isn't as funny as it thinks it is, it's as though they thought if characters say ""oh yeah"" ""yeah!"" to each other a lot we'd stand up and applaud at the end as if this was a comedic masterpiece.

I'd recommend the Big Lebowski a lot more, which is much funnier, with a much better protagonist.

I just found this film a bit depressing actually.",5

All Potter movies were carefully crafted, had a line of thought that was interwoven and perfect. There were bombastic moments, there were twists and turns, but not all within 10 minutes. Dozens of characters were introduced, some the audience did not have a chance to get familiar with at all. I will not go into plotholes at all. But the story is horrible.

"I was trying to get into a graduate film production program around the time PF was making the rounds and if you weren't a QT wannabe, you didn't get into the program. I didn't get into the program - does that tell you something?

I know lots of people loved the film, but I'm afraid it just didn't do it for me. It was WAY too heavy on superfluous dialog. I kept on wanting to yell at the characters to DO something! This is a MOVIE (you know, MOVE-ee) that doesn't move nearly enough. Okay, there are great movies like ""Key Largo"" that are more dialog-heavy than PF, but that's like comparing The Last Supper to a velvet painting.

Ultimately, it seems QT was a limited run item. His equally boring ""Reservoir Dogs"" and the laughable ""Jackie Brown"" are just about it. Okay, it's not a BAD movie, just not anywhere near the level of ""Taxi Driver"" or so many other truly great films that too many PF fans seem to be unaware of. It's competently done; has no glaring technical errors. It has the ""novel"" play around with the time elements thing.

Overall, it's typical Hollywood: tell everyone over and over again it's great and they'll have to believe it (well, at least for a while). It made a profit, what else do you want?",4
"I have been an X-men fan since the 70s. I knew it would have language and violence because Logan has always been gritty but Fox took this to the next level. The previous X-men movies had violence and some language but stayed within the confines of PG-13. This movie didn't dance on the edge it swam in the deep end with extremely violent horror movies. It almost seemed like every scene was written with making sure it would receive an R rating. The number of times the F-bomb was dropped was to point of ridiculousness. The number of beheadings, disembowelments, and dismemberments were too many to count. Shame on Marvel and Fox for turning a children's comic book into a horror movie massacre.

If you look back at every scene the movie could have been so much better. This movie destroyed the legacy of Wolverine and Professor X. Two bitter broken men with filth pouring out of their mouth are depicted as heroes. The girl would have been safer and better off taking a Greyhound bus or a taxi.",2

So much drama, so many sidestories, so much past-related scenarios. I mean the Punisher after avenging his family's tragedy he keeps on punishing criminals. Not here though. He just quits life altogether until he finds out that there were some people still alive who had to do with his family's death. So for about 10 episodes we see Frank just doing pretty much nothing. I forced myself to watch the entire series hoping that something interesting would happen, but no. Pure disappointment. So many dramatic sidestories for no reason, too much hesitation on pretty much everything, i mean come on is he the Punisher or is he a not so blind Daredevil. Do not watch this series. It's a disrespect to the original Punisher. Only reason for 5 stars is Jon Bernthal...otherwise it would get 0.",5
"I can't even find the right words on how to describe this film. Disney literally made this movie just to milk money out of every adult who managed to watch the 1994 version.

If you managed to watch this version before the 1994 version, you need to watch the latter first then you'll notice the difference between the two.

"(This review comes from a long-time HP book and film fan -- Films 3, 4, and 6 being my favorite.) This really should be called the crimes of J. K. Rowling. Or the crimes of Warner Bros.. Yet another IP franchise that is quickly destroying the love moviegoers felt for the original series by not leaving well enough alone.

Despite reading all the, what are confirmed to be, pin point reviews to lower my expectations; I found myself falling quickly in a dismal state of boredom and cluelessness to a story that really makes very little sense nor has the ability to give us a fulfilling movie on its own merit. A vapid and soulless mess of a bunch of characters I could really care less in what happens to them.

The magic has left this wizarding world, and I foresee no possible way of it returning.

Hollywood's relentless fear of not taking a chance on new scripts yet relying on the tried-and-true - squeezing every last drop of potential money from its franchises -- has become increasingly ridiculous.

Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter... who's next to leave a lasting bitter taste in our collective consciousness for films that we used to cherish? Marvel?

Season one is really original and fresh. Great fun. But frankly that was it. In season two it is like they are telling the same story over again.

The acting may be convincing for the majority of the characters but the just off-centre casting, the many times irrelevant direction, the mostly annoying for constantly attempting to force suspense to the viewer music score and the story itself, are not of great help.

I sat down and watched it last night, so here's my take on it. I guess i'm getting old as i didn't feel the hype surrounding this, it was okay at best and i didn't think it was scary one bit. What exactly happens to make this so highly rated?, i kept thinking is anything going to happen and then it ends. Guess some are going to think this is great but i can't be the only one who was left wondering what all the fuss is about.",4
"I don't understand the good reviews. Expected mutch, was very boring.",5
"Some bad acting too, from the guy playing spider. Like a school play. I'm almost 50 so grew up on James Cameron's movies, loved most of them, but this was in your face humans bad, everything else good. A lot doesn't make sense and why would similar animals on another planet sound like those on our planet. The visuals still dont look real, they still look like CGI, they are excellent but had been over hyped. Once the Navi and other creatures look like they are real then I will be impressed. I bought this on Amazon prime thinking I'd love it as much as the first which I saw numerous times in 2009 and and after, this one was enough viewing once only.",2
"Latest seasons worst and worst.

While first 2 and some of s3 had great episodes, particularly liked the girl obsessed with likes (Nosedive) and Men against fire (perfect analogy of brain washed soldiers in Iraq), the last 2 seasons quite poor.

Just watched striking vipers, predictable, boring and unrealistic",4

Amaaazzziinnngggg... Efforts can be clearly seen... And to appreciate it I specially came here to rate your series... I just really wonder how did you manage to act in so many characters for a single episode... Really really amazing and loved it.,6
Leave out all the LGBT nonsense and this would have been great.,3
"The technical aspects of this movie are second to none, and from that point of view this is one hell of a movie.

But I just couldn't get into it. There's all this pain and suffering and these men, boys, doing phenomenal things, but I found it very hard to care about them. Not the real guys, just in the movie. They'd made it very hard to get to know any of them, there was very little dialogue and flitting between them all so quickly made it hard to form any bonds.

I think history should look back on it well, but not as well as it should. Missed opportunity for something great, I feel.",7
"It is about two co-workers in a lighthouse while they are in their four weeks shift. The two workers are an experience one (Thomas) and a young man (Ephraim). Soon, Ephraim starts to suffer from the work, the isolation of the place, Thomas's treatment and hallucinations. It is recorded in an old form (1.19:1, black and white image format) and the speech of both characters is rude, which sometimes makes the dialogues difficult to understand. In my opinion is a weird film.",5

"There was a lot more potential for this movie given the premise and cast, but unfortunately it chooses mostly lame routes to go down.

"A story of domestic violence, a mother's struggle to fulfill her daughter's dream in an environment where dreaming is not allowed to a certain gender, is depicted in this film so smoothly. The film shows that a mother need not to be 'educated' (school education is what meant here), she is the best mom for you, nobody else care about you better than her... We are a bit familiar with the story but try to overlook or ignore these things in our daily life. Even in the educated family the proportion of domestic violence is not lees than that of the uneducated below poverty level family. The film shows the huge number of divorce in the contemporary society. This is, of course, the result of instability of marriage due to domestic violence, lack of understandings or something else. The film also touches slightly an innocent, unsophisticated, taintless, immaculate teenage love <3 Every single frame of the film is wrapped with emotion; the blatant truth of the suppressed society is shown flawlessly. Recent trend of useless music is even tweaked sometimes in a sarcastic way! It's a complete package of emotion!",9
"It has taken me seven episodes to write my first review of this series.

""First"", because I know I'll come back sometime and add to the thoughts here.

And the first *has* to be around the soundtrack.

UA had drifted across my radar few times, but I've been feeling superhero burnout for a while. And I gave it a purposeful pass-by.

Then I saw the reviews here about the music, the soundtrack, and I thought I needed to check. - I walk around with music sound-tracking every mental process, so soundtracks are everything to me.

I watched. And listened. And watched. And listened.

And grabbed by superlative cinematography, a script that drags you to various boundaries but never tips you over the edges into Inanity or Maudlin... and THE MUSIC.... Here I am.

S1E7: Sort of binge-watched till here - and then they play Radiohead's ""Exit Music for a Film"", with the perfect juxtaposition that has been shown right through and I knew I had to sit and pen this review.

Exquisite soundtrack, perfect song selection where needed - and no fear of using classical when appropriate. Masterly!

I'm loving this.

Finely crafted, the storyline so far has held together, an almost impossible feat when palying with time travel in an allegedly superhero film.

I'd rather call this sci-fi than superhero. Less compartmentalisation. And hopefully more people with see it that way, and enjoy it like I am.

And the next time I come back here, more on the quirky and likeable siblings of the Umbrella Academy.",9

"If you are action lover then this is a must watch, breathtaking cinematography with long action scenes, tight close combats and sometimes a feeling of a shooting game will definitely entertain you but that's all folks , yes background music will add some charm to your 117 mins journey. Plot has two sides action and emotion and that's too simple, weak screenplay drag the pace of the movie bit down, not expected from a movie of Hemsworth or Avengers makers.",5
Same story over and over just different day. A lot of yelling and talking over one another. This movie could have been much better.,2
"""Talk to Me"" is a hair-raising experience that explores themes of grief, trauma, and the supernatural in an unsettling and uniquely creative way. Directed by the Philippou brothers and produced by Causeway Films, Bankside Films, and Talk to Me Holdings, this Australian thriller stands as an impressive testament to the capabilities of modern horror cinema.

The plot is woven tightly, centered on teenagers Mia and Jade who become involved in a horrifying world of séances and possession. The utilization of the mysterious ceramic hand as a conduit to the spirit world adds an eerie edge to the story, creating a deeply immersive atmosphere.

Performance-wise, Sophie Wilde and Joe Bird steal the show. Wilde's portrayal of the troubled Mia is both compelling and empathetic, her struggle with loss and longing for her deceased mother radiating throughout the film. Bird's chilling ""possessed performance"" ranks among the most memorable in recent horror history.

The filmmakers' decision to rely on plot and characters rather than heavy special effects or gore adds a level of psychological intensity that resonates with the audience. The practical effects used are impressive, reinforcing the terror without overshadowing the story's emotional core.

Set in Adelaide, South Australia, ""Talk to Me"" also showcases the talents and potential of the Australian film industry. The local flavor is subtle yet enriching, grounding the tale in a real-world context that makes the supernatural elements all the more unsettling.

Critics and audiences have embraced ""Talk to Me,"" with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 94% and a Metacritic score of 76. The box office returns, grossing $26.1 million worldwide as of August 6, 2023, further validate the film's success.

Perhaps the most commendable aspect of ""Talk to Me"" is how it refreshes the age-old concept of possession, grounding it in modern teenage life. The film's exploration of grief and how it can act as a gateway to darker forces is both profound and terrifying.

In conclusion, ""Talk to Me"" is a must-watch for horror enthusiasts and those looking for a gripping and emotional cinematic experience. Its unique blend of psychological drama, supernatural horror, and strong performances ensure that it will be remembered as one of the standout horror films of the year.",8

"The show had potential in terms of storyline, but fell short at the line. The ending is disappointing, and the direction leaves a lot to be desired. Some of the fight sequences bordered on cringe, as did the dialogue. Tom Hiddlestons performance as Loki was, as per usual, fantastic, considering the script he had to work with. However, Sylvies character was just irritating, which when paired with the story and directing flaws, made this the poorest of the three shows we've been given so far. I think they've been overzealous with there season 2 renewal.",4
"Expected so much better from this but it is well below par and honestly in my opinion not even worth watching. Poor story, poor acting and minimal action.",5
"I have to say two things turned me off. First is the idiot reviewer on the front page who feels the need to use 70% of his review(even titled it ""Eat Your Heart Out Naruto""-really subtle) to bash Naruto like some insecure 12 year old spoiled brat fan boy. Pathetic. The second was that it sounded like some Gothic action anime from others. However when I finally saw it I thought, meh, okay. However as it went on I got more and more drawn in.

The plot is simple enough to start:successful and brilliant student Light stumbles upon the Death Note, which will kill anyone who's name he writes down provided it's their real name and he knows his face. He experiments with it and sees that it's real. He plays with the other rules all the while killing other criminals and meeting up with the shinigami who wrote the death note. The deaths of these criminals does not go unnoticed as the renound and mysterious detective El is trying to discover who Light, under the name Kira, is. Whoever finds the other's identity first will win in this power struggle.

Like I said, the first episode is interesting enough. The story however develops and becomes better and more complex as it goes on. The moral ambiguity of the anime gives it a unique feel among others of it's kind. I was shocked to see a show like this under Shounen jump which usually host anime that combine strong actions scenes with a complex plot and character development. What we have here instead is an anime that dosen't have adrenaline pumping action scenes advancing the plot(not that there's anything wrong with that, in fact I enjoy that as well) but the proverbial chess game between Light and the police as Light becomes well aware the police are after him as he does everything possible to hide himself all the while continuing to do away with criminals at his whim.

Ryuk, the shinigami who follows Light, actually provies some of the comic relief of the show believe it or not. He's not over the top goofy by any means however if there's any laughs to be derived, it's usually from him.

Even if you're not a fan of Shounen Jump anime, you should give Death Note a try. It easily rivals the majority of thriller films. It is well worth your time.",9
"Sequels are always disadvantaged when they follow a particularly strong 1st edition so this one had a high bar to jump. It may not have gotten the gold but it definitely placed a silver. Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow held their ground and set the tone (which we all enjoy). Mickey Rourke was a credible villian. Scarlet Johansson was a bonus addition to the Avenger Universe, premiering the Black Widow. And, the S.H.I.E.L.D. regulars (Jackson and Gregg) didn't miss a beat. Good writing. Always glad for these rewatching opportunities. I give this film an 8.5 (great) out of 10. {Superhero Action Adventure}",8
"I'm going to do what I can to elaborate without spoilers.

The cast was great, the dialogue was great, but there was a void throughout. I felt that the extended character development was a little misguided. There were several unanswered questions why popped up and were given no explanation or closure. He made a ""good"" movie and you can't take anything away from his originality but in my opinion this movie needed a spark that wasn't there. He gave his own twist on a historical event but it felt less than brilliant. There were several -isms that drew comparisons to his previous movies but they had something this one didn't. If Tarantino retired after this I don't think I would blame him. After all creativity and originality and Hollywood are starting to be the opposite of synonymous given how many remakes and sequels are coming out. Improve on the old is the trend and I don't feel there is enough creative competition to result in another theatrical masterpiece.",6

PLUS, the. Innuendo's in the script hinting to the show actually BEING a show were way too many, and again took away from the show. It was so annoyingly bad bad and distracting that I must have stopped and restarted the episodes 3 or 4 times, and I'm still not finished with the first two episodes, and it's ONLY a 1/2 show!!! Also, Sorry. Only Murders in the Building is just no where near as good as the first two seasons. Far from it...",1

"We watched the first two episodes and stopped after. Usually my boyfriend and me watch a lot. Especially from the Marvel universe. And I mean a lot. We even watched the whole season of Iron fist, which is by the way horrible and badly written but still more thrilling than ""this"".

This series might get to a point where it starts to be exciting but I will never know. It should be at least motivating enough to watch it til the end. It's not. :(",1

If they casted Lord Corlys Velaryon as someone from a fantastical place where people of his skin are predominantly from, with an amazing non native accent then his character would be more interesting. Instead, he stands out like a sore thumb and it come across as a diversity hire. Horrible.

Let's see how it all plays out.",7
"It is so refreshing to see an amazing show with all new cast, exceptions for a couple of course. This storyline is absolutely intriguing and captivating. My brain is still taking it in.

You won't regret, especially if you like time/alternate ideas of universe.",8
"Shah Rukh Khan creates a character that would be remembered for ages to come as Gaurav. And not to forget, he is terrific and in form as the superstar as well. Witness the innocence, the craze and the heartbreak of a fan who crosses all limits just to get a SORRY from the person who was once his star. There is a scene where Khan's Gaurav breaks all of Aryan Khanna's trophies and that scene is a continuous shot without any cuts or changes in angle. Yes, in 3 minutes, he goes from being evil to angry to sad. Overall, FAN is a must watch if you want to see something new in Bollywood apart from the money spinners. This movie raises the bar and will be a game changer of sorts!",9
"ASPIRANTS

Another series from TVF , named as ""aspirants""- story of 3 friends, who were preparing for UPSC exam. The story is all about, how do they- got passed in the exam of their life, the obstacles, struggles, frustrations, different approaches which they encounter as an aspirant in Old Rajinder Nagar (Delhi). Although the script has been written very well, all ,3 characters - Naveen Kasturia as Abhilash, Shivakit Singh as Gauri, Abhilash Tapliyal as SK did pretty well but the show stealer- was Sunny Hindulja as Sandeep. His character was very well written, strong n positive approach towards life , his acting was marvellous - he can be the next Jaideep Alhawat. The only reason- this series got hyped, is b'coz of exceptional performance. His acting taught an every aspirant actor, it's not about how lengthy your role is written or screen presence you have. The only thing matter is your, ""acting""- how well n deep you portrayed the character , irrespective of screen space. TVF got another good actor after like Jettu. Other female character, Namita Dubey as Dhairya- also did very well, her acting is also as pretty n different like her face. Her acting n performance is quite refreshing in the TVF platform. Kuljeet Singh as Walia uncle were also good.

Still TVF ,""Pitchers"" was perfect, in Aspirants - makers move bit from the subject, they came up with a love angel on the other hand, during Pitchers, makers were specific n to the point which was ""entrepreneurship"".

Still go for this series, their dialogues are very effective with life learning lesson.",8
"One Punch Man is an anime that doesn't take itself seriously and is more of a comedic action series than a character driven drama. Not to say the characters aren't great however. If there's one thing special about this show, it's the world building, I love the world that they've created probably as much as some of the characters. With comedy that actually feels funny in a subtle way, and action that seems extremely important despite the main protagonist killing everything in one punch, this show really manages to keep you invested. One Punch Man is great and I can't wait to see where they go with it for season 3.",8
"""Venom: Let There Be Carnage"" is an insult. It's an insult to the pieces of paper that were mutilated to make the script. It's an insult to the film stock. It's an insult to the millions of dollars that could have served an infinitely better purpose. It's an insult to activists, as it waves gay pride around with an ultra-corporate attitude. It's an insult to the talents of Michelle Williams, Naomie Harris, and Robert Richardson. But most importantly, it was an insult to my time, as it took much more from me than merely ninety minutes.

The first ""Venom"" was bad for its reasons, as it was tonally inconsistent, with Tom Hardy and director Ruben Fleischer having conflicting ideas on what the movie should be. In the end, Fleischer's darker take overpowered Hardy's goofiness. Throw in weak characters and plot, and you got yourself one of the worst movies of 2018.

""Venom: Let There Be Carnage"" has addressed one of those problems, as it swings the tonal pendulum entirely in the other direction, resulting in self-parody.

The sequel picks up where the last film left off, with Eddie and the alien symbiote, Venom, learning to live together within the same body. The two of them seem to be ripped from a Capra screwball comedy, as they're sparring in slapstick fashion.

Marking his return since the post-credit scene in the 2018 original, the deranged serial killer, Cletus Kasady, is about to be put on death row. But before that fateful day arrives, Cletus and Eddie's paths cross, resulting in the birth of Carnage, the T-1000 to Venom's T-800. Cletus and Carnage spark their symbiotic relationship, one that seeks the doom of Eddie, and the rescue of Cletus's longtime flame, Shriek.

Replacing Fleischer, who was busy with ""Zombieland: Double Tap"" and currently working on ""Uncharted,"" is motion-capture wizard, Andy Serkis. It's a fitting lateral move, considering he's worked with visionary directors such as Peter Jackson (as Gollum in ""The Lord of the Rings"" trilogy) and Matt Reeves (as Caesar in the ""Planet of the Apes"" trilogy), two people able to seamlessly blend visual creations within reality.

Serkis hasn't fancied himself much as a director, with ""Breathe"" and ""Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle"" being so underseen that they may as well not exist. With ""Venom: Let There Be Carnage,"" Serkis has landed on strike three, hopefully landing him in director jail.

There's an erratic and jerky quality to film, one that tries to reflect the inner torment between Eddie and Venom. Locations become interchangeable, and so does logic as character motivations become lost in the struggle. Much of the actors seem lost as well, with Michelle Williams (way too talented to stoop this low for a paycheck) constantly trying to find a reason to exist beyond just being the contractually obligated ""love interest that got away.""

Things quickly become hard to follow, with Venom acting as Eddie's inner monologue, butting in at every possible moment with one cringe-inducing line after another. Integral information is doused while three characters speak at the same time, making the effort needed to keep things straight not worth it. Once Venom and Eddie split up their bromance, you're relieved as it means a few moments of peace and quiet.

There also seems to be an inevitable ugliness to the ""Venom"" films, as Matthew Libatique turned in the worst work of his career in 2018, and now the legendary Robert Richardson (a frequent collaborator with Quentin Tarantino, Oliver Stone, and Martin Scorsese) produces his most drab and cheap-looking work. At some point, you have to wonder how many people are involved in this franchise just for the money.

Definitely not here for the cash is Tom Hardy, who has deepened his involvement by receiving the first writing credit of his career. Hardy has always delivered 110% for each of his roles, even if it wasn't in the best interest of the film. With this sequel, Hardy, as well as Harrelson, have dialed things up to a ""Looney Tunes"" level of zany. There's at least some unintentional comedy in their line readings, with a highlight being ""I'm a real boy and you're just an amoeba!""

The badness of ""Venom: Let There Be Carnage"" made me appreciate other comic-book films even more. Marvel may be getting stale with their formula, but at least it works on a fundamental level. And based on the post-credit scene, we'll have to see which side of the coin wins out, a battle which I am not looking forward to.",3
"I don't know what's wrong with people doing such movies.

Great potentiel but the downfall was greater than what I've expected.

Don't watch it with your family (like family night stuff) This movie is NOT scary they just decided to put disgusting stuff (and I ain't even talking about the « dead » people here) - if you know, you know-.

The zoophilia scene was enough for me to make up my mind about the whole film and the producers mindsets.

The editing is good, the actors are fine but some things should NOT be allowed and even LEGAL.

I couldn't even finish my meal after this.

The dialogs were also obscene.

I'm not a prude but some thing are just way out of line.",2

"2 stars because i could watch Anya recite recipes for lentil soup all day and be fine with that. She's stunning.

Everything else.. meh...",2
And youll have a decent action flick for teenagers. the rest is pathetic and boring. juts forgettable: very foreseeable plot and a finale that borows from an american football superbowl.,3
"Crunchyroll and Webtoons latest collaboration is a fun, action packed adventure that doesn't slow down.

From the very first episode, its energetic and stylish. It doesn't necessarily bring anything new to the table, but the urgency the episodes move at leave no room for downtime (for better or worse) showcasing that there's no need for inner monologues or flashbacks midway through fights.

Daewi, Mira and Mori are a fun trio to watch with their own distinct personalities. They aren't too special by any means but they're a classic formula that wins: stoic bad boy, strong willed and the goofy yet powerful.

My only main gripe so far is probably the story. Now, as of writing, the story has moved forward, so it will be interesting to see where it goes, but the lack of a main through line in the first few episodes didn't accomplish much outside of building our characters up and giving them motivations.

All in all, The God Of High School is a fun new anime. I did not mention anything about the action because trust me, you just have to watch this show to see it for yourself!

8/10",8
"This series come out of the gate strong with an interesting premise, fascinating characters, and a tense plot to pull you through the first season at a record pace! I cannot say enough good things about this first season! It's a fun take on the comic-book style superhero story. (This is the only reason the rating isn't a 1)

Then we get to the second season, where we do everything that they do in the first season.... again. Okay, been here, done that, can we do something more original? No. No we cannot.

Well, surely they'll switch things up for the third season, right?

Right?!

Nope. The same exact story, told 3 seasons in a row. Same arc. A couple different faces, a couple different settings, but ultimately just more of the same. Also, I am really starting to hate these characters, especially the r*pey one.

It's clear they didn't expect the show to last more than 1 season and had zero clue how to continue the storyline in Season 2 and beyond. I have very little hope for season 4. I'll watch it, and ultimately feel like the fool if I fall for the same trick of watching the same story yet again...",6

"I have recently watched Bridge of Species and I didn't enjoy it. But I'm not going to lie, the end really got me because I thought something interesting was about to happen but it didn't so that made it even more boring. The acting skills weren't even bad, it was just the point of the movie was really pointless. I don't recommend watching this movie unless you like War movies but they're not the type of movies I go for so I kinda figured I wouldn't like it to start with. Also the characters were kinda all over the place. So this movie is definitely a no for me probably because I'm so young and don't get the point of it but I don't like it.",4
"1917 is in itself a pretty decent action movie: tension building is well done, long tracking shots through the trenches, and even a few outstanding scenes reminiscent of the better work of Bresson, like the bridge crossing scene. However it also has several flaws, ranging from minor to more irritating. It seems the script was not well researched, and this is not Kubrick first reading several years into the subject matter, and then coming up with something perfect.

First, the hierarchy as portrayed in the movie is incorrect: WWI meant strict hierarchy, it seems very unlikely orders from higher up would be ignored or reflected upon. In WWI the battle field was a reflection of society at that time, from upper to lower class. In Paths of Glory, by now the benchmark for WWI movies, we see the arrogance of the upper levels slaughtering thousands of soldiers for nothing. As Scorsese noted about Paths of Glory: ""It was so honest, that it was shocking, and what made it even more shocking, was the nature of the way it was shot, the use of the tracking camera and the trenches"".

Then, the portrayal of the Germans is more WWII-like than WWI: Soldiers from Europe went to the battlefield in WWI seeing this as an honor to defend their homeland, almost like a football match. They were waved out like heroes, most were very nationalistic at that time. If you have seen the excellent Peter Jackson-documentary They Shall Not Grow Old, you noticed little hate between Germans and British. So, the stereotypical Hollywood bad German is driving the action once again in this movie. To the scriptwriters I would advice them to read a history book about the matter.

Another inaccuracy is that individual ethnic soldiers are written into the script, maybe to reflect and conform with current society's ethnically mixed makeup. And although groups of colonial soldiers fought in WWI, they mostly did so in their own regiments, just as society was organized then. Few of them fought as individuals in the main ethnic British group.

The story contains some odd situations: Wouldn't it be better for the Germans to catch Schofield alive for interrogation, he also goes through an unlikely amount of luck, and after the river scene he ends up just in the right place. The village looks by the way too much like a film set, and some other sets do not look very realistic either.

Then the much discussed tracking shots. See again Paths of Glory: The tracking shots there have more tension, more dynamism, and more speed. Here they are dull. I was somewhat disappointed overall in the work of Roger Deakins here, take Sicario as an example of what this man is capable of.

Mendes started his career with an almost perfect script, that was also well executed (American Beauty). Since then he thinks he is a great visual film maker, the problem however is that a guy like Nolan surpasses him in both writing and visual execution.",6
First 2 eps was so boring. Stopped watching after. If I knew this show was going to put me to sleep I should have just popped some valiums. Oh and the soundtrack was horrible. I was expecting something like The Boys from Amazon Prime which is a way better series,2
"I don't really understand why all the bad user reviews. Ever since I saw Rogue One and asked myself, were the heck were the Bothans that supposedly died getting the Death Star plans, I stopped picking at the little things.

Were there things that didn't make sense? Sure but were they integral to the story? I didn't think so. Honestly, the show is great. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

If you like sci-fi mixed with action, this is the show. Now my only critique is why aren't they filming season 3 RIGHT NOW! Get back to work and get a new season going.",9

"Come on people. This series is based on a book. And like any rendition of a book brought to a screen, it has lost a little bit of what made it so compelling in text. Stop being Uber critical and rating the series as awful because you don't understand it. I personally enjoyed the series and the way it was done, but I don't like how it was drawn out so freaking long. I read the book in less than a day, surely a Screen series can be put together in shorter than 13 hours. I can empathize on so many levels with so many characters and for so many reasons. If you think the Netflix series was crap, read the book. If you think Hannah was obnoxious, read the book. If you think Clay was an idiot, read the book. If you can't figure out what made it so compelling, READ THE FREAKING BOOK. This content was extremely important in this day and age. Until this series and probably for a long time still, suicide is taboo and I commend those who were a part of this project. Text or screen. Stop being obnoxious and take the time to READ THE FREAKING BOOK. It will make the story make sense.",7
"In 13 years of membership at IMDb.com, I have yet to write a review of a film, but this is the one that has compelled me to do it. (A sentiment I've seen more than once in other reviews of this film on this site.) Nothing happens in this movie. Nothing takes place. No events transpire. There is a paucity of things that unfold. The only way I could write a review of this movie would be to use every synonym that exists for ""nothing"" and ""happens."" The movie is 106 minutes long, and Nothing. Happens.

The glowing professional reviews of this film are pure rubbish. Nobody wants to confront the reality that acclaimed director Christopher Nolan has created one of the single most worthless movies of all time, so instead they praise his colossal failure of a movie by calling it ""unconventional, ""minimalist, ""immersive,"" and any other number of adjectives from the self-congratulatory esoteric lexicon of the self-styled ""cinephile.""

All that being said, I would actually go ahead and recommend you watch this movie once. A 106-minute movie in which literally nothing happens is something we've not ever seen, and are sure never to see again.",1
One of the most boring and predicable movies I have ever seen.,1

"The standard Bhuvan set through his YouTube video and by his very own webseries DHINDHORA that standard has somewhat declined which can be seen in his new YT videos and his new hotstar web series TAAZA KHABAR . The first two episodes excites the viewer at some point but as the episode 3 starts the excitement and standard goes down and down till the end of the series. As a viewer I have seen BB and his YT videos for a very long time and have followed him very closely but this webseries has just weakened my faith and excitement to his new works .

At ny personal experience it is not worth it to watch and waste your time.",4
"As the years have gone by and AMC plays The Godfather on a constant loop, there has developed a sort of common wisdom that this film is as good or some even contend - better than the first.

This is simply not the case on either count.

There are come wonderful aspects to this film - namely the emergence of Robert De Niro, the 1910's New York City tenement scenes, the depictions of old rural Italy and some great acting from Al Pacino, John Cazale and Robert Duvall.

This film was automatically at a disadvantage from the first with no Marlon Brando, James Caan, Richard Conte and Sterling Hayden - four great actors, A fifth - Richard Castellano, is the greatest loss on the film because it is a self-inflicted wound due to a dispute over money and allegedly dialogue- so Clemenza is sloppily erased from the story with some confusing tale which we won't go into.

So this movie is at at a loss of five great actors to start with and picks up one monumental discovery in De Niro who on his own nearly makes this great to warch. The bad guy of the film - Italian actor Gastone Moschin essentially replaces the original bad guy Al Lettieri (who famously dies in the original) in a piece of good acting.

Hyman Roth, a Jewish mobster partly based around the story of Meyer Lansky (like most of the subjects in these movies these men are loose composites drawing from different characters). Roth is played by Lee Strasberg - a great acting teacher who developed the method style of acting deployed by Brando, Pacino and De Niro - but not the greatest actor.

Roth has some memorable lines and it is a good performance by Strasberg but the character is really nothing like Lansky's actual character and the film takes a lot of liberties with this storyline which is far from the truth and ends up really muddying the script in some nutty premise which is not believable. I won't give anything away, but Lansky never did half of the things that are suggested here. But his greatest line is about Moe Greene (loosely based as a composite of Bugsy Siegel).

Apparently, director Francis Ford Coppola wanted James Cagney to play Roth's part but perhaps Cagney didn't like what Coppola did with the character.

Fans of the show Sopranos may be interested to know that Roth's lieutenant Johnny Ola is played by Dominic Chianese who played Tony's uncle Junior.

The dialogue is not up to par with the first. Some of the scenes are more for show and effect and impression than substance.

There are a number of holes in the storyline which are not properly resolved.

There is a quick appearance by the late Danny Aiello.

Bruno Kirby makes a good impression in one of his earliest roles.

Michael Gazzo does an adequate job as essentially Clemenza/Richard Castellano's replacement but it always feels like he is a replacement player.

Pacino's new (and old) bodyguard seems completely out of place the entire time.

Diane Keaton and Talia Shire are good in returning roles. Keaton has a memorable showdown with Pacino.

All in all this is a great movie, and it is darker than the first - in some ways much darker. Most of its greatness lies in the back story that is told in the flashback scenes.",9
1 star only for the crew/hardwork/time and money spent to make the movie.,1
It really is that bad. Discount the 10 star reviews. Those have been paid for and thats an absolute fact. If you go see this movie after reading all of the one-star reviews - you may as well never come back to iMdb again because its not doing you any good. I had to read the spoilers at iMdb to even figure out what was going on halfway through this 'movie'. Can't stress enough how bad this movie is.,1
"The reviews are likely fake or from folks who like only Cheap Profanity and Nudity. Typical Anurag Kashyap stunt.

That is it in nutshell. Filth of the lowest level.",1
"In my forties, very little things can make me sick,. This movie has done it and I would consider that a praise if it weren't for those things other reviewers mentioned. First half of the movie was good with tremendous potential, easy 7 or 8 out of 10, then it fell apart like a cheap horror movie with plot holes and pretentious writing.

The acting and photography was good, the casting ok, but the suspension of disbelief was all over the place, I was binge watching Jack Ryan season 3 this past weekend, couldn't put it down, had me so hooked with great writing but the menu had me questioning things in the second part constantly.",3
"This is a good sequel in the sense of the great expansion of the universe, showing the consequences of the ending of the first movie. On its own it manages to tackle themes like corporate concurencies, IP theft, industrial espionage, the desparate hedonism of someone who can not seem to avoid his near death, not handling all of them masterfully, but overall providing a good movie.",7
"When I first heard about this movie, I cringed. Maybe because of the horrible taste of ""Batman & Robin"" , or maybe because I expected it to be a mediocre movie. I was right.

I've seen both. Let me say, ""Begins"" is not what it's made out to be. As many others have stated before, ""Batman Begins"" should be called Bruce Wayne Begins. There is no Batman until late in the movie, and the Batman that does show up is very disappointing.

I have no problem with Christian Bale, at all. I think he is a excellent actor, especially in ""Equilibrium"" and ""Reign of Fire"". He tried his hardest to be a good Batman, and I give him kudos for that.

Everything else about this movie, I groaned. Too well-lit, no back-story, Gotham City looks like New York for Christ sake's. The Batmobile is a tank, and the villains, please.

If I put on Batman '89, I would remember it for a few weeks on end. Huming the beautiful theme, remembering great scenes, and more. But with ""Begins"", no way. I've seen this 3 times now, and I still can't remember anything about this film.

Let's hope the sequel is better. -3/10",3

"For the most violent year in New York City's history, there's fairly little violence depicted visually.

For viewers paying close attention to the radio broadcasts, it's a different story. Wink.

Oxymoronic also considering it's an independent film and a period piece.

Elaborately set during the winter of 1981; it doesn't feel very 'independent.'

It stands at $4.6M in the box office, according to Box Office Mojo and Rotten Tomatoes; a tragedy considering it's $20M production budget.

This may be a reflection of late distribution, finally releasing wide in theaters on January 30.

Which is intrinsically tied to its complete lack of Oscar nominations.

A gosh-darn-shame, considering the filmmaker's credentials.

As the scholars say, J. C. Chandor is an 'auteur.'

Which Google defines as, ""A filmmaker whose personal influence and artistic control over a movie are so great that the filmmaker is regarded as the author of the movie.""

A less frilly description is writer/director.

J. C.'s crafted three flicks thus far, including 2011's Margin Call and 2013's All Is Lost.

Both were critically well-received, and particularly the former contains my stamp of approval.

In a way, he's comparable to Woody Allen; relying less on elaborate cinematic sequences or stylistic editing, and focusing heavily on story and strong acting.

'Great movies for adults' is another way to say it.

A Most Violent Year's no different.

The cast is phenomenal.

Oscar Isaac (of Inside Llewyn Davis fame) is fantastic in the leading role.

Albert Brooks is excellent, but did you expect anything less?

No; of course not. The man's a master of his craft.

Another master, Jessica Chastain, delivers a remarkable performance.

The word 'snub' is overly bandied about.

But if Laura Dern's five minutes of Wild screen time total up to a Best Supporting Actress nomination, one can easily argue Chastain deserves it more.

All in all, A Most Violent Year hasn't received the credit it deserves.

It's written well, full of strong performances and compelling throughout.

Catch it in theaters while you still have the chance!",9

"Sorry, but this soggy mess, trying to be a cinematic tour de force, just really is a flat tire for 2 hours and 30, 40, 50 minutes. It just never starts, never ends, I think it's still being filmed for Fabblemans II, when Sammy, sorry Sam, discovers drugs and Hollywood. Heard it was a good movie, but was it a movie? It seemed as though it really wanted to be seen as a stage play. Got it, Fabblemans on Broadway. Michelle Williams over acting made me feel like I was already transported. Saw TAR, the night before and can't believe both can be seen as good films, when obviously one was a cinematic masterpiece.",4
"I like every character in this movie. I was very excited to watch this movie when I heard that the movie was released. I can watch full movies online live stream by spending 40 dollars. After watching the movie my thinking completely changed and I really enjoyed watching the movie. As many characters in the entire movie, the technique characters performed very well. Everyone has a lot of moral lessons to learn from this movie. So if you haven't seen this movie then you should definitely watch it. After watching this movie, your mindset will definitely change.

It is no wonder that the film has such a high rating, it is quite literally breathtaking. What can I say that hasn't said before? Not much, it's the story, the acting, the premise, but most of all, this movie is about how it makes you feel. Sometimes you watch a film, and can't remember it days later, this film loves with you, once you've seen it, you don't forget.",5
"Saw this movie close to a month after its theatrical release.It was a late night 10 pm show and I went there expecting an empty theatre...But to my surprise there were many ,queing up at the ticket counter to watch the story of Emperor Akbar unfold on celluloid....

Jodha Akbar sometimes makes you feel as if you are watching one of those Doordarshan mega-products like Chanakya or Mahabharat and sometimes you feel as if you are watching a war epic which many believed, only Hollywood was capable of..

The movie at some parts might make you feel as if its too slow but such is the nature of every historical,that in order to do justice to the chosen subject,the director has to purposely slacken the pace and throw light on the minute happenings of the by-gone era..In short the proceedings might look super slow to some viewers but historical movies never drag....Its just one of the special characteristics of historical cinema..

Jodha Akbar has great performances and for me,no one other than Hritik Roshan could have played the role of a lover, a poet, a son, a leader and an emperor with a golden heart in a better way..But on the flip side, Hritik tries hard to emote with his eyes but ends up exercising his nostrils in too many scenes.Aishwarya Rai is passable..Don't know why but honestly,I didn't like the chemistry between the two lead pairs..May be,the zing-thing was missing between the two.. Aishwarya as usual looked like a doll and no offence,but trust me when I say that the doll is getting old real fast..

Action scenes are jaw dropping..Cinematography is top notch and everyone attached to the project, I feel ,has done a commendable job..

Music was fantabulous and the picturisation of the title track was grand and splendid....Never in my craziest of dreams did I ever think that I would ever get to peep into the world of the Whirling Dervishes in India Cinema..But take a bow,Mr.Gowariker..Thats what you call, chef-d'oeuvre.Your picturisation of Khwaja mere khwaja is a classic, a masterpiece and only a genius could have taken the song to such supreme level in the final stages...

Jodha Akbar,despite facing protests in various parts of India,is in short,a specimen of Azeem-0-Shaan Cinema and its one of those rare,not to be missed films..

Indian Cinema is looking beautiful and this movie plays its part in the decoration of it..It will be remembered for a long long time..Takhliyaaa..",8
"This series is centred on seventeen year olds James and Alyssa. James is convinced he is a psychopath and plans to kill somebody; when the rebellious Alyssa suggests they run away together it looks as if he has a victim. They set off and things don't go well. After one particular incident they find themselves wanted by the police and head to Alyssa's estranged father on the Isle of Sheppey. Here things come to a dramatic conclusion as series one comes to an end. The second series takes place two years later and introduces new character Bonnie who is just as troubled... I won't say more as that would require spoiling details of series one.

I really enjoyed this series although it certainly won't be for everybody. The comedy is pitch black and at times violent. Also the protagonists aren't particularly likeable, at least initially; the more we get to know them the more sympathetic they become. The cast does a fine job; Jessica Barden is great as Alyssa and Alex Lawther is on similar form as James; they make it fun to watch two very unlikely protagonists... I was surprised to learn that both are several years older than their characters as they come across as real, if disturbed, teens rather than the typical TV/movie-teens. The rest of the cast impress too. The locations match the feel of the show; the openness of the Isle of Sheppey feels suitably bleak and contrasts nicely with the claustrophobic atmosphere created by season two's woodland settings. There are a few flaws, mostly very minor... such as how they seem to drive for hours in a similar landscape or, in series two, are warned to be careful following a murder an hour up the road; England isn't so large that an hour's drive away is considered nearby! The end of series two could prove a natural end, but the same could have been said of the first series... this leaves me both hoping for more and satisfied if there isn't. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to anybody looking for something different who isn't easily offended.",9

"I thought Forgetting Sarah Marshall was going to be one of those chick flick movies that would be to cheesy for me, but apparently not. Jason Segel really played a good role as a guy going to a heartbreak. For people who experienced that feeling, I'm sure this movie would be enjoyable. As I watched it, there was so much emotions that i can reflect back and certain behaviors that Jason Segel portrayed in the movie. By shooting it in Hawaii, made it really ironic because it's usually a place to have love instead of escaping from one, which was well thought. The the two girls with totally different personality that Peter (Jason Segel) had to deal with and played by Kristen Bell and Mila Kunis, made the movie exciting. So many love and sex jokes in this movie. If people would like some funny, not-cheesy love stories, this movie would be one. This movie contains many love and life morals that made me change my thought on how I see certain things,which is good in some ways. Although it's not great and not an Oscar quality movie, it's totally an entertainment for those people who needs something to watch over weekend, it's worth a shot. Although the plot is somewhat common, but the way the movie works and how the story goes is uncommon.",7
"So to me, the movie was really average. It failed to really grab my attention and keep me on the edge of my seat. The story was also really predictable. I'm not saying it was bad, but it just didn't appeal to me as other movies of this genre. In my country we come across these types of scenarios all the time about the less fortunate families and what they have to do to survive etc so maybe to me the story wasn't so out of the ordinary and I've seen worse on the news. I understand it was really deep and metaphorical, but it just failed to resonate.",4
"Please STOP making murder mysteries with lone cops investigating murders. It does NOT happen in real life. No cop goes to interview anyone by him or herself. Nor do cops chase down people without calling for backup. I am so sick of Hollywood films writing stories with lone cops running around by themselves.

This was a frustrating movie with a lot of potential.

I just hate writers writing scripts that make no sense. Hugh Jackman plays a totally irrational man, I mean REALLY irrational, a total lunatic. No one behaves like that. Except in movies. I've probably watched every episode of First 48 and not one single time did a family member take the law into their own hands. Nor risk everything for himself or his family. A total irrational lunatic. It might sound weird, but I had ZERO sympathy for Jackman.

Stop writing implausible scripts. No cop just breaks into several houses without a warrant. Nor do they investigate a murder/crime by themselves. Nor do they slam or beat up people in custody. Just does NOT happen. It is so annoying. No cop behaves like that. He would have been suspended in a second or fired. Cops don't yell at each other. It was pure fantasy. And no matter what, Gyllenhaal kept doing chases, investigations, break-ins, etc all by himself. (facepalm).

The acting was good, except for Viola Davis, who always delivers hammy performances.

This needed to be 30-45 min shorter. It felt too repetitive. It was basically a rip-off of the Vanishing. This movie was just ridiculous.",2

"Talk To Me is a horror movie that builds itself up on a great premise but falls a bit flat on its finale. Recommendable, but could have been better. Understand why reading along.

In Talk To Me, a seemingly unharmful game has serious consequences, borrowing a lot on the concept of Ouija boards. One creepy hand opens the door to talk to the dead, and a group of youngsters from the current generation is mocking the outcomes that this powerful artifact might bring, talking to the dead like some twisted game. The fun part is that I could definitely see this happening in modern times - how many times haven't we seen some sad news about some kid that got hurt or worse due to some dumb challenge?

The opening seen and the setup are great. Creepy and intense, great acting by Sophie Wilde, which interprets character Mia, a girl trying to go over her mother's death. You get your fair share of what you'll get on this movie; or is it? The major problem of Talk To Me is that it builds expectations to the highest but the movie decreases in tone as it progresses, slowly fading into light horror territory. When we get to Act 2, we are stuck with a good story that lacks what Act 1 had: good horror. The middle-point scene is great, kudos to actor Jor Bird, but it's not the real middle plot point.

The plot point at the middle that sets the ticking clock happens a bit late, but it's a good one, creepy in its own way. However, by this point, you start to wander if you get some answers - for questions that I can only go in depth later, on the spoiler part of this review. Bottom line, you kinda don't.

Stakes are high at this point, and you want a good finale to wrap things up. And, although the ending scene is interesting to the point that opens up the path to possible sequels, too many things are left open with the main plotline, which feels unsatisfactory.

Talk To Me is recommendable to horror fans, even with these flaws. Hopefully, one possible sequel might close some of the loose knots.

*** From this point on, spoilers! Spoilers! Be advised...

Talk To Me builds itself around Mia, mourning her mother's recent death, to which the movie tries to build suspense, but it's fair straight that her mother committed suicide. But I feel sad that, because of constraints on movies, writers couldn't build other characters from what I will call moving forward the Hand Group. The Hand Group has some interesting characters that could contribute to the story in good IT vibes, but, in the end, we focus only on Mia and her arc, a negative arc that leaves a sour taste on our mouth; the lack of some other main character with a positive arc is dissatisfactory.

So, breaking into Act 2 reveals that Riley, for unexplained reasons, has caught the attention of the spirits, some mean ones that want to tear him apart. When they get their hands on Riley due to Mia's selfish act to try to connect to her mother, stakes ramp up good, but we start wondering: what's with wanting Riley so bad. No explanations.

Another problem is that Mia is the only one seeing spirits. In the story, they try to explain this fact with a dialog where Mia suggests that she was the only one that touched the hand along with Riley - the movie even tries to corroborate this fact -, but it feels weird.

No back info on the hand might be a trick to suggest a follow-up movie. Okay, but, if not, then there is this huge flaw too.

To wrap up, the ending. So, Mia and Riley has this encounter with a dying hit-and-runned-down kangaroo on the road. Mia opts to let the agonizing kangaroo die out of his misery; ""huge mistake!?"" Well... At the end, this fact hunts Mia to the point where she realizes that she must kill Riley by throwing him at some speeding car - so dumb. Then, she actually commits suicide and that apparently saves Riley!? Why? How? We get nothing. This is a huge turndown to what could have been a great horror movie.",7
"The Coen Brothers do not write a movie based on a situation but on the setting and its cast of characters. Although we are not in Arizona anymore, the story shift to another world....far up north. We are still speaking English, but it is far from how they talk in the rest of the country. The characters create the situation and create the entertainment. When looking at a story and asking yourself, what comes first, the plot or the characters? When it comes to the Coen Brothers, the characters create their plot. Considered by many to be their best work, Fargo is unique and far beyond good. It is a movie made before its time for an audience who doesn't totally understand it. Yes, this is a drama / mystery, with moments of comedy and also a thriller / modern day horror movie with realistic monsters. With a French New Wave style, Fargo is perfection.",8
"This movie is a complete waste of time. I will never get the hour and forty minutes I wasted on this film back. To put it bluntly, this film offers nothing remotely beautiful; in fact, it is unusually ugly. Bill Murray's character is grotesque; he is a pathetic middle aged man, who seeks merely sensual pleasure to make up for his lack of personality. Scarlett Johannson plays an unlikeable moron, who idiotically visits some of the most beautiful site in Japan, yet feels absolutely nothing because she is too self-centered. The film shows two Americans having trouble relating to Japanese culture, perhaps this is because Japan IS A DIFFERENT CULTURE!!!! This film could have taken place in any country that doesn't speak English and the same feeling of isolation would have been prevalant. Coppola tries to show the main characters dependency and affection for each other, yet neither of the characters are likable enough to care about. The film merely shows a highly focused (and a little ethnocentric) view of Japanese culture, without giving any credit to the powerful and intricate history of the country. I loved the Virgin Suicides, but this film lacked the creativity and depth that I expected. This movie was cold, barren and bereft of passion. BEWARE!

"""I had to rewatch it three different times to see it from three different perspectives. I first watched it by myself only halfway. Then, I watched it with a group of people, again only halfway. Finally, I watched it a third time by myself, watching it until the end, so I could see it from a different perspective.

""I really enjoyed the first movie, ""Knives Out,"" and I wasn't sure if this movie would come close to how much I enjoyed the first film.

The first time I watched it, I thought it was a very half-hearted attempt. However, when I watched it a second time with a group of people to see their thoughts, and then finally decided to finish the movie completely, I gained a new perspective after three different viewings.

My thoughts? This is better! But only if you peel away the layers of just how brilliantly this movie shows you things in plain sight. Then, you can see the genius of the Glass Onion.

It's a brilliant movie with layers in all its simplicity! With those being my final thoughts, I can't wait to see what they do with the third film!

Overall, it is clear and well-structured. And I can't get enough of Daniel Craig's hilarious, Foghorn Leghorn accent in these movies!""",9
"Young audiences just don't understand, if you don't know the background story, the movie doesn't make any sense to you.",6
"Yes, it's funny. It's silly, it's crass, it's irreverant, and it has all the makings of a mindless adolescent farce like the ones I grew up with from American Pie to Revenge of the Nerds and all their sequels. But when this movie ended and the credits rolled I was left speechless in awe. And not just because of all the penis drawings during the credits.

""Superbad"" is, as you may expect from any film produced by Judd Apatow (40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, etc), on the raunchy side. So don't be surprised if you see a penis drawing or 2. But what makes this an amazing film is that despite all the raunchiness and partying and horseplay it actually delivers some powerful human and sentimental themes.

In the hands of an inferior cast, it would have flopped and come across as cheesy. But with these actors, each delivering a larger than life performance despite playing high school seniors, it's magnificent. I'll give you just 1 example of what I'm talking about...

There's a scene where 2 characters are gearing up for a sexual encounter (their first). But one of them (and arguably both) are not ready for it. Unlike all the teen romps that I grew up with, where the goal is for the guy to bed the girl, this scene makes us put the brakes on and consider: Wait... Why is the goal always for the guy to bed the girl?? And at the same time it's really funny and does not sacrifice the film's momentum. I won't ruin the ending of the scene, but let's just say it's satisfying on every level and punctuated with a great gag to make us laugh.

""Superbad"" is truly an evolution of the genre. It's every bit as crass and wacky and full of horseplay as all the others since Porky's, but this is the first time one of these mindless comedies dares to make us think and feel on a deeper level. Like I said, it's largely due to the great casting. Michael Cena, if you're not familiar, plays his signature role of an awkward deer-in-the-headlights kid but with a strong sense of who he is, even though nobody else seems to understand. Jonah Hill plays his best friend, sort of the antithesis: a loser who thinks he knows what he wants but he's really quite confused. Emma Stone knocks it out of the park with a great role that's quirky, cool, rebellious and responsible all at the same time. Rounding out the troupe are Bill Hader and Seth Rogan who play a pair of despicable yet loveable cops whose combined IQ is around the same as their blood alcohol level.

This flick has it all. It's definitely for mature audiences in terms of language (at least the unrated cut I watched), but ironically it has some great messages for teens and younger viewers, if you can see through the tomfoolery. There aren't many films I can compare this to, but if you've seen ""Easy A"" with Emma Stone (somewhat tamer than this), I'd say ""Superbad"" has the same vibe. A seemingly silly teen comedy that packs a serious punch under the surface.",8
"So many viewers that find the 3rd Batman such a masterpiece that I'm wondering ...Did we all see the same film? As a great writer once said..""Less is More!"" That must mean that more is less (filling). When a movie crowds 3 hours you better have a strong flow of story, plot, and characters. As I watched the movie I struggled with understanding Bane's dialog which I heard many others admit to the same problem.This left me confused as to the villain's mission. Copycating the Hannibal Lector face mask was not successful this time.

To have multiple subplots seems to bog down the film while many characters come and go adding little if anything of significance. I felt this 3rd and final film forgot what made the first and second films the successes they were. Batman and his development of gadgets and weaponry to thwart the bad guys. To each his own as to the level of success of this film but, as I saw it, this was way too much crammed into this finally.",4
"I had no real preconceptions when i came to watch the film and ended up watching more by accident than design. I watch a lot of Science Fiction films for a variety of reasons including future speculations and how technology effects our lives either for good or bad, often the latter. Sometimes for fun or something to watch. This film was mostly this, something to watch and marvel at, if you will. Films have characters we relate to (hopefully) and go on the journey of the story etc, with them. The film disappointed because the characters where so thinly portrayed. The central character played by Bullock was kind of abstract and unmoving. She was out to prove something to her self and ultimately some resolution to past tragedies, was all i got from the film. I watched it till the end and though exciting and visually impressive, it didn't impress me neither did her story.",3
"Great but it's not a ""dystopian reimagining of a world with superheroes"" it's quite literally an allegory for America and the world as it exists right now. I tried to catch all the major obvious ones. There's a super cool Celeb Supes find Scientology parody in here that's brilliant.

Ironically the people who would normally be crying about how everything is super political and ""woke"" don't understand that lol.

Great material. Fine acting. Predictable, but the journey is the destination and it's a hell of a trip. I don't think there's anything like it on air right now.

Venom's voice was so tiresome. The unfunny (it tried hard to be funny) ""action-packed"" Marvel movie was nothing more than a sleeping pill for me.

My nephew 12 year old didn't like it either.

What was the movie about? Don't know. Don't care.",1

"The show was constructed in a very unique and mysterious way, with slow build up each episode, which made the audience want to know more and more. The new style of narrative definitely hooked me.

Arthur Harrow was a disappointment from the beginning and continues on to the finale to be one. He never poses a significant challenge to Moon Knight, but says he will a lot!

The mysterious element of the personalities also had an underwhelming conclusion, since Marvel wanted to either hide the violence of a personality or just use it as a plot device for the next season solely.

The cliched final battle was also a disaster.

Thus the finale was pretty poor.",7
"The writing and storytelling are not strong. Plot holes throughout. Established characters behaving out of character. For all the nostalgia and villains crammed into the film, no conflict rates as more than a mild inconvenience. Just a wildly disappointing way to waste a great premise.

The intelligence of the MCU left with the Russo Brothers; WandaVision being the lone exception.",4
"It's like watching a really bad movie on the syfy network. Bad writing, bad acting, I expected a lot more from this show. It's like a terrible soap opera set at a renaissance fair. Maybe it can get better but if the last few seasons of hot have taught us anything, it's that HBO writers are good at thinking for themselves.",4
"A moviemaker is just not a money maker. He has some responsibilities. These increases when he goes for an international product. Apart from something which makes a movie a complete entertaining package, My heading says many issues which are as follows: 1. Bangladesh (BD) is country of 16 crore +...So, you understand how much it will be in terms of movie viewers number. The movie portrayed BD like Syria, Afghanistan or a war wrecked State which is disgrace for us. Because BD is not such.The stuntman (Director) should have some background studies which hadn't. Because he is a stuntman! 2. He couldn't portrayed our law agencies properly and made whatever just he liked. 3. He could not portrayed Dhaka. Because he tried to do it from Ahmedabad, India. 4. There is distinct difference between the Bengali language of BD & India as it's between US & UK English language in terms of pronunciation. Someone apart from Bengalis may not understand it. The stuntman tried to establish Indian Bengali language as BD Bengali language with lot of spelling mistakes of Bengali language which made the background as unrealistic one. 5. It's obvious that the Stuntman took idea from Someothers not from BD to portray BD as he didn't come here. This made the blunder and has defamed my country. 6. You will need a microscope to find out a man having 4 wives in BD. It may be possible in Middle East. But it's reflected in the movies.This is how he tried to defame BD muslim culture.

Thereby I am grading this movie 1/10.",1
"For those with nostalgic feelings, forget about it! It's a nice new concept, and explore some aspects that weren't even imaginable in the late 1960's. It's a new ride, with new possibilities, nicely done! I guess even Irwin Allen would have enjoyed it!",8
"I'm a huge Harry Potter and also found the first Fantastic Beasts movie very entertaining.That's why I was really looking forward to the movie ""The Crimes of Grindelwald"". Unfortunately, I was more than disappointed and even angry. No magic but CGI: Due to the many ""too much wanted"" special effects, all the charm of the Harry Potter world has been lost. Harry Potter always gave the feeling that the parallel world could actually exist. The wizards were able to perform magic, but they were not all-powerful. The magic and its possibilities and limitations were in the foreground and not the special effects, as with this film, which has become an exchangeable fantasy film for me. The world of Fantastic Beasts looks much more modern and has many more possibilities than Harry Potter's, which is paradoxical. Of course this also has to do with the advanced movie technology, but does it have to be maxed out? Would not it make more sense to focus more on the characters and psychology than on CGI in the end? Story without depth: I had my other problem with the story. While at first I found it very charming that Harry Potter characters are present in the movie, I was ultimately disappointed with the depth. Too many characters are introduced but without profundity. Unfortunately, also the sympathetic characters from the first film seemed ""dulled"" due to the lack of profundity. I find the acting skills of the cast members Eddie Redmayne, Jude Law (perfect cast for the young Dumbledore), Zoë Kravitz and the others very good, which is why I still give the film 4 stars. Unfortunately, they could not fully demonstrate their skills in the movie because of the above points. This is of course only my opinion and therefore to be considered subjective. I just hope that the filmmakers not only hope for the ""big money"" in the next films, but actually produce a worthy film with depth.",4
"The first is, that the similarity to Doom Patrol is huge. A group of people who first dont like each other try to figure out how to function as a team. The second problem ist, that the characters are boring as hell. I didnt care about any of them, they are all lethargic, some of them depressed and they hate each other. I just dont care about their problems and family issues. I dont feel the chemistry between them. The performance of the actors are kind of ok, but still, i am not convinced.",3
"Bad script, bad acting (except you know who) , bad screenplay, not good not bad comedy..... This movie shows how less of the effort they are putting..... Add some substance😥😥..... Its like they saw a stand up comedy about millennials and old school ppl and decided to a movie....watch it if u don't have absolutely nothing to watch",4
"I really don't understand why everyone talks about how great this movie is. Outside of ""Hulk"" this might be the worst superhero movie ever. I wanted to leave the theater, only to be stopped by those who I was with...nothing happens in this movie!!! The acting is TERRIBLE, the computer generation looks just like computer generation, and there is absolutely no plot.

I'm generally a fan of superhero movies, but this was downright awful. It suffers a serious case of ""Darth Maul syndrome"", in which a menacing, cool looking, and overall interesting villain is barely seen. Everyone knows that the villains are always more interesting than the hero. And the hero is ALWAYS more interesting than the alter-ego. Throughout the whole movie, Peter Parker whines and gripes about how he doesn't want to be Spider-man, but he just wants to be himself. And how many people know his identity now? Why is Peter Parker bumbling & clumsy in real life, but acrobatic and swift as Spider man? I know it's a movie, but please have some consistency! Again, don't be fooled, this is a train wreck. If you watch this, prepare to be underwhelmed.",1
"Well I saw this flick with a tremendously high expectations, cause everyone, my friends, colleagues, relatives, all said this is a mind blowing movie. All I can say is that this is a really nice movie. Some fantastic acting by Mr. Ejiofor, great camera work and all that, but I won't go on and call this a masterpiece, nor I can say this was epic. Oscar deservedly went to the right movie, but it depends on the competition too. You will be glued all the way through the movie, you will feel angry and emotional at the same time, it will keep you in your seat for sure. Other than Mr. Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender did a fantastic job in my honest opinion, playing the role of Mr. Epps. That's about it. You see what happened in the land of the 'free', and you will remember it. It clearly says the world was confined by some petty nonsense, and what a disgrace of human being some of us are, and still is. It gives a clear message to that we all are equal, regardless of our differentiation in colours, religion and place. I enjoyed it thoroughly, some parts were definitely disheartening and touchy, some fine acting and direction, strong story telling, but that's about it. If you expect a masterpiece or some epic show, I can't really say you will be game. It deserves a 7.5 out of 10 from me, nothing more, nothing less.

Thanks for reading, Saurav.",8
"I have been trying to find positive points about this series but failed miserably so far.

The Dialogues are not sharp. The Plot is weak. No interesting characters so far including the main ones.

When the main characters are also boring, you can imagine how is it going so far.

It's running just because of the GoT hype.

Just a boring version with good production value in the name of GoT prequel.

I so miss GoT characters, their wit, wisdom, backstabbing, deaths and so many other things.

"THE REVIEW DOES NOT CONTAIN SPOILERS REGARDING THE DARK KNIGHT RISES.

As it is with every Nolan film, the film starts off with an impressive mid-air action sequence, doing justice to the proverb: ""Well Begun is Half Done"". Synonymous to the bank robbery scene, Bane enters the action with a different style clearly showing off how evil he is. The film then slowly settles down showing us what has changed in the past 8 years after Harvey Dent's death. Harvey still is considered as the ""White Knight"" and Batman as an outlaw vigilante. Bruce is weak and filled with a regret. Then the story takes shape in to the usual good-versus-evil plot in an extremely aggressive environment with a few shocking twists and a great conclusion.

First of all, let's throw light on Bane. Bane is totally perfect. Tom Hardy portrays him extremely powerfully. I was impressed by the amount of dedication he took which clearly can be seen. But we cannot compare Bane with The Joker, who was spectacularly portrayed by Heath Ledger in the The Dark Knight. Bane doesn't possess the sense of humor that Joker possessed, true; but that's just because he's pure evil and wants his job done. He is true to his word and his actions. Tom Hardy is as good as Heath Ledger was.

Then there's other performances to hail. After Bane I thought Alfred, played by the Michael Cain, and Billy, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, were the strongest. Alfred is more than a butler in this film, he is Bruce's guardian. There are many scenes when they both exchange emotions and a part of it was shown in the trailer where Alfred says ""I don't Want to Bury you..."". Those were seriously well filmed scenes, probably the best in the entire film. Joseph plays a cop who turns out to be another great character. After that the entire ensemble did their job well too with good acting. I had a feeling that Catwoman wasn't gonna work but I was wrong... In other superhero movies, you will find that the Hero is given the most vital spot, his sidekick a little less, the people he loves a little more less and the villain is always portrayed with exaggeration. Nolan however very perfectly places them on the same level. His films are quite natural and down-to-earth, including TDKR, which is what makes his films so special.

Now moving towards the technical aspects of this film, they are brilliant as always but I did not find anything new in them. If you expect it to get better than the technical ingenious of Chris Nolan's Inception, you will be slightly disappointed. The film is actually 70% drama and 30% action. But it is worth it. If you ever get the opportunity, don't miss it on IMAX.

Similar to Batman Begins, the story is quite straightforward. It does not have the beautiful complexity of The Dark Knight because it focuses more on the experience where Nolan is trying to give you that feeling of ""Rise"". The ending was quite smart but I won't say anything more than that. It totally depends on how YOU take it...

In conclusion, it was a worthy ending to an amazing series. I wouldn't like to compare it to The Dark Knight as this film has it's own different story to tell. So I suggest you watch it with an open mind, making no comparisons to it's predecessor and you might enjoy it more... In case you are too excited to watch it then go to Wikipedia, they have the entire plot there ;)

"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is the Pettigrew of the Wizarding World entries in the way that is tags along with the cool kids but isn't particularly useful in any way.

You don't really learn much new about the Wizarding World and the characters don't seem to go through any change, although they feebly say out loud that they do. Quoting Newt Scamader, ""I've changed"", said awkwardly and flatly just as he spoke in the beginning.

The characters are boring and the beasts are just random animals that we have in real life with an extra limb or something along those lines, but they don't touch on creatures that appear in the Potter books that are truly interesting. It should really be called ""Weird Beasts You've Never Heard Of and Why To Care About Them"". Even the niffler only appeared to be a ploy to sell stuffed animals and t-shirts with a cute thing on them.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them WISHES it was part of the Harry Potter series, but shares extremely little of the point and purpose. The only thing worse than the intent to try and keep Harry Potter relevant (which is completely unnecessary because Harry Potter is timeless) is the amount of VFX that weighs Fantastic Beasts down. The colour grading is fantastic but the overwhelming reliance on VFX makes it a truly ugly watch. Harry Potter has its share of VFX, I understand, but it wasn't completely reliant on it the way Fantastic Beasts is.

I'm giving Fantastic Beasts a rating of 3 because it turned out to just be another greenscreen/soundstage AAA Hollywood blockbuster that cares very little for the original, lush lore of Rowling's original series and is irrelevant in its own unique way by ignoring all the deeply loved details of Harry Potter.

Any true lover of the Harry Potter world will be able to see right through Fantastic Beasts guise for what it is, a really long commercial for off-brand Harry Potter products at your local Hot Topic",3
"Quentin Tarantino is never going to get bad press as long as he draws breath; he's created his own self-sustaining bubble of rare releases, propped up by rave reviews from anyone who can scribble down a legible sentence on a page (hypocrite much?). OUATIH follows Rick Dalton and his stunt double Cliff Booth (Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt) as they try to stay afloat in a business leaving them behind, all whilst navigating the quirks of Hollywood. However, this idyllic story is not what many have claimed this film to be - sure, there are brief stylised glimpses of Hollywood's golden age, but they are too fleeting to really consider this film a tale of the era. Realistically, this is a mis-paced, mis-aligned story, and isn't half the film it could have been.

Whilst everything is acted well and the set/costume design is incredible, ultimately Sharon Tate's character (played by Margot Robbie) could be cut from the film with zero loss. One moment you'll be watching DiCaprio and Pitt masterfully acting their respective roles (DiCaprio once again showing his effortless range), and the next you see Robbie sitting in a theatre for a 15-minute stint. It completely kills the first half of the film, and makes you wonder when the eventual plot device to marry the two groups is going to happen. Spoiler: it never comes, and by the end I was left wondering why half of the plot even happened. Its not that Margot Robbie's acting is bad (she is fairly strong as expected), or that her script isn't good - her character is just inconsequential, included solely to tie the plot to some semblance of reality. Only in the final half an hour does the plot begin to really move, and only then does Tarantino really produce some cinema magic.

Dalton and Booth are undoubtedly the characters you go to see, but there are other exceptional performances: Timothy Olyphant, Mike Moh and Kurt Russell all lend good cameos, and breakout star Julia Butters (playing child actress Trudi) is incredible. This is also one of Tarantino's funnier scripts, with decent laughs from good writing and unexpected plot devices. However, this isn't enough to make up for a run time that is probably an hour too long, especially given the lack of content to actually pack out this blockbuster.",5
"The show was supposed to capture the life of an aspirant preparing for ""IAS"", unnecessary love interest and triangle made it another BOLLYWOOD plot.

But still very well written, show was able to convey the meaning of an aspirant to a great extent. Characters had depth and were given ample time to develop.

Music was great, sets were amazing, Production quality was great.

Overall a very decent show.",8
This movie was boring. Almost 3 hours for almost nothing to happen. A complete waste of time and money.,2
"Boyo Boy!! What the heck! This is just unreal.....(Very real).........I just can't express my feelings towards this mini-series, so perfect! It reminded me of 'Breaking Bad' in terms of its quality and impact! Though it's a mini-series based upon a true event in Russia that occurred in 1986. But there is so much to learn from it, it's a lifetime experience, pretty like our present COVID situation, a dialogue goes like, ""We may know the cost of truth, but do we really know the cost of lie!"" I mean it's not a dialogue, it's a life lesson! In every department, this movie is outstandingly brilliant! A 9.5/10, if there is no 'Breaking Bad' ever existed then this series would surely grab a perfect 10 on 10. Guys don't miss it!",9
"another sexist film, I don't' understand why Hollywood needs to demean women in order to produce a comedy. why do I have to take this as a viewer. Come on, I want to be able to enjoy a movie without having to tolerate objectification and constant insults of women. CGI nudity is another low, if the actress in not willing to expose herself in such a manner why do it? how desperate can you get as a director? CGI is a new growing insult on female viewers.

The idea behind the movie wouldn't be bad if they didn't have the need to fill empty minutes with needlessness. the characters are superficial and not justifiable, too much spoon feeding. there are a few laughs, but you have to sit tolerate through rest.",1
"A great movie after a long time. Was so bugged with the normal typical Indian movies. This was different. It's emotional and makes you laugh. Kangana, you are back in the TOP 3 list for sure!! Keep up the good work.

Most of the Indian movies these days are so predictable. Kangana Ranaut revels in her solidly- written role, and delivers a first rate, heart-felt performance.

This is a film that is no less tangy than the gol gappas that Rajouri Garden girl Rani Mehra rustles up in an Italian pizzeria in faraway.

It's not any typical tragic drama where a girl with tears in her eyes narrates her sad tale.

Although, the storyline is not any 'out of the box' element but Kangana's flawless acting and the perfect portrayal of the characters makes the film a must watch.

One of the best scenes in the movie that you will surely not want to miss is when this village girl Rani gets drunk for the first time in Paris and after that...well, I don't want to reduce the fun by revealing all.",10
"Two stars because the movie starts out pretty good and suspense is built. However, it's just down-hill from there. The majority of the film consists of internet browsing, video chatting, etc. and on top of that, the actual acting that does take place is pretty poor. I found myself bored prior to midway through the film, and was disappointed by its beyond cheesy ending. It just seems like the movie is trying to live up to ""Gone Girl"", and it's no where near as thrilling. I definitely would not recommend.",2
"The director simply took the names of the characters and the names of the places from someone who, drunk, summarized the whole plot of the 7 books to her in 15 minutes and wrote the script on a hangover on her knee. Many logical inconsistencies and unexplained moments meant that from the middle of the first episode I forced myself to watch until the end. Eskel's thread is the worst thread I've ever seen in my life. He only gives 3 stars because of Henry Cavil, only his acting was at the level, the rest is a failure.",3
"First of all. The movie takes place mainly in Russia, where everybody speaks English with a Russian accent. What is wrong with Hollywood? Either go full russian or just use normal american English like in the other thousand adaptations that you have made! It's ok! Don't try to add originality with an accent cause it is really really cheap!!! We know it's an american film and it's totaly natural to be in English. Now the movie. The plot is a bit slow and at first bit it gets better, the acting is ok so counts as a plus, but all in all it's a quite predictable and mediocre film. Nudity and violence are there to keep things a bit interesting until somthething actually interesting happens. There is a light mystery dark atmosphere found in spy and crime dramas, so maybe that's another plus. If you are a Lawrence fun then maybe you will be pleased but if not then better find something else to watch. Only the fact that this is not another universe action super hero film it's not enough to make it a good film. I am very disappointed to see people be happy just for this reason.",6
"First the good news. The movie contains decent action sequences. The acting is OK, some exceptions left aside.

Apart from that, this movie is overrated.

The characters are one-dimensional. The story is predictable. About acting, Di Caprio can you make believe everything, except that this is a good movie. The actors try to perform and get something out of the script, but sometimes you can see them struggle and that can not be the purpose.

Score is about 9 at the moment of writing, that's higher rated than all movies of Hitchcock... Are you kidding me ?",1
Dam good and really realistic action movies. A perfect friday/holliday movie to see whith a good friend or whith your fammily.,6
"The writing is very stiff and predictable.. The source material is being sqeezed to being a empty shell on film.. also possibly Tom hardys worst acting in this one.. compared to his acting in something like the series 'taboo' for example... he clearly is doing these films for fat pay checks. Good on him. Gives him room for passion projects.

If deadpool can be R... why not venom? It needs a R rating even more. But instead makes Eddie this pleading sad sack that wants no violence... lethal protector.. what a joke. I cant even recall a single death that had any blood.. in a venom film...... face palm*",5
"The first two episodes drag terribly, endless exposition and dialogue leading nowhere. Then the show picks up some pace, promising something interesting in the finale, but instead the last episode goes back to pointless dialogue. There's no payoff, we go back to starting point plotwise. It's hard to believe, how all characters, including Loki can be presented in such a dull, uninteresting way. After the finale it seems that nothing really happened here, for six episodes a few boring people were entangled in some bureaucratic nightmare, from which they couln't be freed. I f you givevthis a miss, you're not losing anything.",7
"Extremely disappointing, I loved the first film - this one was was childish, cringey and there was nothing deep, no plot twists, and no crazy murder reveal.

Without spoiling, it was so obvious who the murderer was from the first 20 minutes that I thought ""They are making it so obvious, so it can't be them"", turns out it was exactly who literally everyone thought it was.

The backtracking and murder reveal was not amazing at all, it was very average, I was constantly waiting for some major plot twist that never came. Towards the end, it just turned into some really childish revenge plot, I was legitimately cringing. Very big disappointment, this doesn't compare to the first one.",3
"A boring cheap movie that is produced in front of a pc with no more than 10 euros production budget. After 30 minutes of this cheap nonsense, any educated viewer will give up.",3
"Fifteen years after the release of the Philosopher's Stone and five years after Deathly Hallows: Part 2, the prequel/spin off cycle of beloved franchises has continued with the Harry Potter franchise, and its finally one done right. Since the news of J.K. Rowling developing a spin off in 2013, I've had huge speculation on what it would be. Three years later, ""Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"" is upon us and it's safe to say that the magic is back and it's untouched.

The risk about a spin-off is whether it is rich like the products that spawned them, but there is no sign of that here because this is written by Rowling herself. As the creator of this universe, she writes with passion and almost perfect understanding of what fans want. You can tell through every line of dialogue, set piece and character that she has her fingerprints trademarked all over them. Instead of setting another story in Hogwarts, she makes the fresh decision to set it in 1920s New York.

Here we meet Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) whose visiting the city with a suitcase full of magical creatures. The community has strict guidelines and does not allow creatures in it. His problem starts when his creatures suddenly start to escape and cause havoc across the city. He has to make the challenge of trying to find them.

Redmayne shines as Newt, having the quirkiness and maddening cheerfulness of Matt Smith's Doctor Who. He's often funny and charismatic, a different hero from Daniel Radcliffe's dive at the main man of the story. Him and Rowling have done a nice job at crafting a perfect protagonist for the next big fantasy series.

Colin Farrell plays Graves whose in charge of the Magical Security in the city. He's fairly good, relying on lead villain territory heavily and never collapsing into cliché as much. Dan Folger plays Newt's sidekick Jacob Kowalski whose a surprisingly likable supporting character. He's charming and full of interest like his leader. Katherine Waterston and Alison Sudol are spellbinding too as sisters Tina and Queenie who help Newt on his quest.

David Yates does just about a good job at directing this as he did with the last four Potter films, but due to the alterations of the universe, it feels seamless. This is because he's kept to his rules of bringing this world to life with real sets and impressive CGI. His directness has a Tim Burton-like feel that really makes the film extraordinary but different. The action scenes under his wing are impressive but not necessarily more effective than anything we've seen before. He'll be directing the next four films in this series so there's a guarantee that he will do justice again.

""Fantastic Beasts"" isn't quite as fantastic as it thinks it is. While the plot is surprisingly original, it feels occasionally thin when it comes down to Newt and Kowalski trying to capture the creatures over the city. It sometimes feels like video game montage than your average fantasy quest. Also as this is the first part of the series, there's a lot of heavy world-building exposition to be done, which sometimes overlaps and wobbles the pace a little bit.

Now that the setup has surfaced, Rowling and Yates can now do more of whatever they want next time round. While it isn't as intelligent as the best Potter films, it kindly resolves the problems of the more average entries of the series. It's one of the biggest pleasures of the year, like what Star Wars: The Force Awakens was in 2015. This could be the benchmark for all spin-offs to come: fresh and pretty much its own thing.",7
"It is an outstanding movie of international standards with no language barrier. Superb direction,acting,music and photography. It has strong theme & message to society.

"Well, if you ask me what is the greatest super hero movie of all time, i can tell you even for 1000 times, it's Iron man 2. Why? Because it's better than Iron Man 1. The better story line of Iron man 2 attracted me right from the first time i've seen the trailer. It is not just a movie for kids like the first one, it's more complicated yet simple enough for us to understand and not making our head hurt like The Dark Knight did when we try to figure out what the real meaning of everything is. In Iron man 2, everything is almost obvious but still, there is something and someone can make you say: Wow! I didn't expect that! The graphic, what can i say, Kick-Ass. All the Marks look better with all those gadgets and weapons. The HUD is cooler and Jarvis, well, he is one of the biggest hits of the movie. I was shocked when the first time i watched the movie, when Tony uses his basement aka laboratory. I was like: WTH? Is that near future? If that is then that really kicks Avatar's future ass. Iron man 2 doesn't need to be 3D. It hits very hard in 2D already. The graphic of Iron man 2 is a real masterpiece that you can not take your eyes off the screen once you started to watch. Mr. Robert Downey Jr. comes back impressively. Together with Gwyneth, they create the funniest couple in a super hero movie. Samuel and Scarlett didn't exceptional job although they didn't really play big parts. Sam Rockwell still rocks with his moves, he may be a bit annoying but that is what we are looking for, an annoying and jealous Justin Hammer. Don Cheadle, yeah, i saw how he managed to be Terrence Howard, not very good but still a great effort. Thanks to the War Machine suit, his face is limited behind the mask and the movie is safe.Phew! Some would say Iron man 2 is boring, he is invincible. Yeah, so? Doesn't the world need a perfect super hero, rather than a man of steel who's scared by Cryptonite, rather than a dark knight who is affected badly by emotions and decisions that never had his real life. Tony Stark is a typical super hero. He showed the world who he is, yeah, he can do that, because he the coolest and the strongest. The world needs him, a perfect hero. It's 100% that he kicks all villains ass, it's not a rated R movie, not a super block buster movie but has a great crew. Whoever you are, just try Iron man 2 for once. It is not disappointing, no it is not!",10
"People compare The Witcher to Game of Thrones. When HBO decided to make Game of Thrones it was a brave move. Both because the genre, the portrayal (nudity, etc) was new, and partly because of the unfinished novels. They had a vision and believed in it, and invested a lot, took a lot of risks. And sadly the had to turn an unfinished story into a series. And when the author can't finish a story, who can? Without that bravery it would be unlikely to see The Witcher.

And at that time it was harder to recruit talent for a show. If we would adjust their investment for inflation, it would show that GoT was more expensive and more ambitious project. It finished and when people want something similar we have The Witcher. All the financial power of Netflix wasn't enough to launch it directly against GoT, they have chosen an easier moment.

Yes, Netflix uses good cameras, good software, can hire good actors and do an okay job at turning a story into a TV show, some can blame them for some mechanically applied political agenda, but thats it. If that doesn't scare you away from their service you can watch their shows. One is just as good as the other, if you see it that way. One is just as bad as other, would come the reply. You can give awards for technical stuff, for actors, for music and pretty much anything. But you won't see artistic vision, ambition. Netflix doesn't believe in any of the shows enough to take half as much risk as HBO.

Most of us got what we have expected. With the usual Netflix tone. We can speak about how casting for Triss was bad, but not bad enough to run the show. We can speak about nice fighting scenes, yet we haven't seen large battles yet. They have spent money where it can be better, and avoided harder and riskier stuff, so it wasn't a disappointment.

If you know the story you got mostly what you would expect. No risks, no ambition and no disappointment, but excellent technical quality, the definition of a Netflix show. The streaming service where fighting the system is copying mainstream politicial propaganda. So not bad at all. Right?

But in all honesty fans of the brand probably had a chance to read books, play video games and some true fans maybe played the tabletop RPG too. With the show we had an Okay representation of what we already known, without any added value. Shows can decide to show more about the lands, the continents, the minor characters, can flesh out things. Why?

Because if you would try to describe everything you can see in one secound of a show, you could still fill pages about the minor detials. Costumes, architecture, makeup, For this added value we would need ambitition from the makers. They should aim high and take risks, because some might dislike their interpretation even if some would love it.

When we watch an adaptation, be it Game of Thrones, The Witcher, or just Agatha Chrisitie's Poirot, we often watch it for the added value. HBO spent a lot of effort on creating this added value. Even the classic Poirot series has plenty of it. So both premium production and cheap one can have this. The Witcher series has very little to offer in this deparment. No risks, no disappointment right? But no added value either.

And as it gives very little to the viewer, I would prefer a cheaper, technically imperfect show, with a less popular (and interesting) IP, that still gives me plenty of things for the time and money invested. And even the best actors (like Henry Cavill) and their excellent acting is limited by lack of ambition from Netflix here.",5
"Tony (Iron Man) Stark and supporting cast have been continuously published for up to almost half a century now; there must be something entertaining and appealing about these characters. This movie (unlike some other comicbook adaptions this century - yes, ""Azrael Begins"", I'm looking at you) actually puts recognisable versions of the published characters on the big screen.

If you've been reading Iron Man for decades, as I have, then there are many resonant moments and stirring visuals that will bring a smile to your face. I don't think you can go much more than 5 minutes at a stretch without experiencing some frisson of gleeful recognition.

If all you know of the character is the first movie, this will not disappoint. It has the same mix of comicbook physics, great performances and entertaining action in another script smarter than the genre usually supplies. There's a layer of enjoyment accessible to long-time readers that you won't tap into, but you won't miss it.

(It was great to see Howard Stark presented as the Walt Disney of the Marvel Universe here! Great cultural shorthand.) Superior popcorn entertainment masterfully done!",9
"I would not recommend it to non marvel fans , its really shame that sony owns the rights of these amazing Characters.

I hope one day MCU owns them, i really did not enjoy anything, but i give it 7 for the sake of these characters and great acting and actors.",6
"I had a few attempts to watch the movie to the end depending on my personal mood. None matched. Considering the cast of actors, the film should boom. Is not. It seems to start promisingly but it quickly becomes a kind of long soup where the author, the director, the screenwriter tries to invent and reinvent situations. And it feels like they're struggling to do this to keep the film afloat. I see some here very pleasantly impressed. It's very ok, maybe they managed to discover the unseen side of this cinematic semi-failure. The bad part is that when you're dealing with a bad movie, you quickly give up on watching it. Here you put your hope in the performance of the actors (good and very good) but overshadowed by a boring script. 6/10.",6
"Let's start with the positive. Ryan Gossling steals the show in an ironic twist since the movie is basically a sermon on woman impowerment. Another movie like American Fiction where the performance of one person makes the movie worth seeing. I also loved the set and scenery and colors, but that's where the positive ends. I believe this movie could have made its point in much less angry and overdone way. The underlying anger just didn't fit with the feel of how the movie looked. I felt that the movie was demeaning to both men and women and especially the audience, as if we couldn't get the message without being beaten over the head with it. I wish there could be a do over with someone else doing the movie using the same actors, except Will Farrell who I am tired of seeing portraying basically the same character over and over. See it for Ryan Gossling and the cinematography.",4
"After hearing a lot of praise for this movie, and my friends encouraging me to watch it, I decided to give it a try. Seeing so many comic-based movies so far, I hoped this presented something different, however, I was left disappointed. To be honest, I slept throughout parts of the movie (the last case was the singing scene in the Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey) and kept looking at my watch to see if there was any ending soon. I'm not saying the movie was downright bad, as it had some real cool action sequences, but at certain points I struggled to keep my eyes open. Before you say I will do better to watch other genres, I loved all X-Men installments and the Batman trilogy. Maybe it's just the case that I wasn't familiar with this subject. I hope the second part will be more interesting...",4
"Tried to watch this show a few years ago. I didn't click right away and stopped. Gave it another shot a couple of months ago and I got hooked.

Show is great. Lots of numerous 1-liners or references to other pop culture hits. Lots of action. Actresses are all stunning. Very well done. Can't wait for the next season.",9
I am giving it 1 *. 1. The whole story is about Bangladesh but filmed not here. 2. Don't match the accent of Bangladeshi people. 3.Represents Bangladesh like a African country. 4.Not so realistic with environment.,1
"Should have applied this logic to this film.

Heard great things about this film and I was looking forward to watching it.

WOW ! Was i disappointed !!!!

Tried to do far too much in such a short time.

It's that much of a disappointment I'll stop my review here and waste no more time on this film.",4
"What a bloody awful mess. Strong do not recommend. Chaos, confusing plot, and confusing subplots. Zendaya is interesting, Spidey does ok, but the script failed them.",2
"This is a decent series. A medieval adventure similar in theory to GOT... but it has some problems. There are three main characters. The Witcher, a sorceress, and a princess. Over 8 episodes each has a story that is laid out and in the end they all come together. For me there were two problems (1) I had zero interest in 2 of the three characters -- most uninteresting was imho the Witcher and (2) as others have noted, it was difficult to understand the differing time lines. This might lead to a headache.

The most interesting story for me was Yennefer of Vengerberg. Born with a hunchback and overbite she becomes a powerful sorceress along with becoming a beauty. Her story was strong for most of the series but boring for some of it.

I disagree with the review that said Henry Cavill carried the show. He was basically the weakest part. I mean sure if your only goal is to look at him, you will be rewarded as I think in all 8 episodes he is shirtless at some point and he definitely broods but his character and and acting are boring.",6
"It's a ""MASTERPIECE"" .... Don't get fooled by critics .... while trying to be more intellectual they miss those goosebumps which u get while watching this movie...Take my words .. you will not even realise when tears will role down from your eyes .. if u miss this one in theatre ... u miss a once in a lifetime experience .... Everything is just so perfect in this one ..",10
"It's a bad bar bad, fast and furious film.. and the fast and the Furious are already bad films...

Horrible editing an over use of slow motion and fast cuts. cars being distroyed and then fine in the next scene cringy one liners, terrible story, awful jokes.

Ryan Reynolds plays himself very well in this I must say. Everyone else is trying to act like him as well.

What's good? The action and the gore is pretty good.

Forgettable and pointless.",3
"Loved it up to half way. Interesting characters and detective plot. Then it somehow started with all the different unrelated relationships like some family drama that had nothing to do with the detective plot.

Ended with plot twists inside plot twists, lots of hugging, forgiveness, crying and telling everyone how you feel.",3
"Modern day Pinocchio with a post-modern twist! I never played with Barbie, and I totally identify with little Sasha... in fact I don't only share the mindset; that's my name too! And don't we all know someone who tortured and drew on and cut their Barbie's hair...

Actors and actresses were cast with perfection. Hilarious script, eye candy props, exceptional dance moves and choreography!!! The soundtrack absolutely ROCKs - opening with PINk, ending with Billie Eilish, and sprinkling in a bit of all genres... oh! Did I mention the costumes were FANTASTIC!?!?

If you detest Barbie and all she stands for, you will enjoy this movie!",10
This kinda seemed like an evil dead crossover lots of plot holes which would be fine for evil dead and other such cult classics (it's part of what makes those movies so much fun actually) but it doesn't fit for what should be expected in the mcu.,2
"Just saw the movie, totally blew me away. Great direction especially action sequences no shakey cameras or unnecessary slow motion. Clear cut fights and alazing performance by vicky Kaushal in some of the speech he gave to his commandos you will definitely get the goosebumps and will make you chant woth the dialogues. Totally amazed by everyone's performance as well. You can't rate this movie at all it's masterpiece.",10
"I would not normally bother writing a review, but for this movie something had to be said.

Yes, it's not a Matt Damon Flick, it's not an action and more to the point, it's not actually watchable. The cast is quite good, on paper, but the script and the directing is horrible. The camera work looks terrible, the scenes have no coherence.

It feel less like a movie and more like an incoherent collection of poorly directed scenes with stereotypical characters with no real depth. As for content, go watch a documentary instead. I certainly did not learn anything from this movie, and at times it felt like watching the CDC version of CSI. Enjoy!!",2
"8.6 and still immensely underrated! I think it should've been 9+ rated atleast , don't know what some people didn't like.",8
"I wouldn't say that this movie was one of the worst movies that I've ever seen, but it is by no means one of the best movies of the year. My girlfriend and I rented this movie, thinking that it must be good since it was nominated for picture of the year, but we were both disapointed and confused by the end of the movie.

Having spent a good deal of time in Japan myself, I have to give it to the movie for providing a pretty good portrayal of Japan, but I also feel like the movie belittled the Japanese people. There was a loose love plot that was able to barely hold the movie together and was the only thing that kept me from turning the movie off.

My recomendation: Do not watch this movie if you are a fan of action movies, comedies or any movies of the like. Do watch this movie if you are a fan of ""art"" movies and dramas.

By the way, I have not met a single (real) person that has said they actually enjoyed this movie.",3
"It's best if I say right up front that Murder Mystery is not a good movie. This is not Adam Sandler rediscovering his mojo, he still gives an underwhelming performance, and he often seems bored. However, there's a cast of goofy characters, played by actors who all seem to be swinging for the fences with their ridiculous performances. It is over-the-top and actually managed to make me laugh a few times. Admittedly, the opening of the film (where they establish our main characters) is a cliché-ridden mess that didn't fill me with much hope. But when they got on the boat, and met all the suspects, things started to click. I was kind of hoping that Sandler's character would prove to be a surprisingly good detective, but making him a bit incompetent improved Jennifer Aniston's role, so their decision was probably for the best.

The main reason that I didn't walk away from Murder Mystery annoyed or furious is that I'm a sucker for the genre. That's what made this movie most watchable for me. The title tells me all I need to know, and the film delivers a halfway decent puzzle for us to solve. The silly twists and turns in the plot kept me guessing, and made it so I was never bored. I feel like, if this was the old days when Sandler really seemed to care about the movies he was making, he could have made this great. I'm just so tired of him sleepwalking through films as if he does not even register fear, surprise, excitement, or any other emotion. Despite his performance, I found this to be a moderately entertaining film that lived up to the name Murder Mystery. It's not one I'll be re-watching, and I expect my opinion on it to worsen over the years. But it did enough to give me a hesitantly positive opinion for now.",6
"It's been a little while since I saw Jojo Rabbit, and I neglected to review it straight away because it was somewhat difficult to work out exactly how I felt about it. It's a bold, entertaining, sometimes funny yet sometimes heartbreaking premise, it's confidently shot and well acted, it uses music to great effect, and also carries a strong, agreeable message. But something felt off, and it's prevented me from loving it as much as all those positive qualities would suggest. Perhaps the end result is less than the sum of its parts, but a rewatch at some point in the future could help things click a little better.

For now though, this is still a very good film that doesn't quite cross over into 'great' for me personally, but is still worth recommending. Looking at WW2 through the eyes of a child isn't something that's never been done before, but to have the child not only be on the side of the Germans but initially idolize the Nazi Party certainly feels like a new take. It mostly works, and I didn't find the film insensitive- or offensive for the sake of just being offensive- in any manner. Lampooning WW2 and the Nazi Party was done nearly 80 years ago, in Chaplin's The Great Dictator (while the war was still going no less!), let's not forget.

I was reminded of Chaplin playing a clear stand-in for Hitler in that film when watching Jojo Rabbit director Taika Waititi play (an imaginary friend version of) Hitler in this film. The best thing about this is the fact that Waititi is part Jewish and part Maori, so the real Hitler would have absolutely despised being portrayed by someone of Waititi's background. It's an entertaining performance and leads to many of the movie's funniest scenes, but one flaw with it is that I think the same story and its messages could still come across just fine without the imaginary Hitler subplot.

That might make the film overall less of a dramedy/tragicomedy and more of flat out war drama, and as for whether or not this would have made it better overall, I'm not sure. The comedy works, and when the film goes for drama, it works too. Neither really clashes. But still, as a whole it never clicked for me quite the way I wanted to. It could be on me more than it is on the film, especially because even now, almost a month after seeing it, I still can't put my finger on exactly what stopped me from absolutely loving this movie.

The only other mild problem I can cite is that the film drags slightly in its second act, with some of the scenes between Jojo and the girl he discovers hiding in his house's attic being not as engaging as other parts of the film. Oddly enough, this is the most prominent aspect of the film, but I found other characters- like Scarlett Johansson's and Sam Rockwell's- more interesting. It still works and eventually pays off well, but I didn't love every scene while the movie was happening.

It's been obvious since his Flight of the Conchords days that Waititi could write great scripts, but with Jojo Rabbit it's apparent that he's continuing to get even better as a director, with this being his most visually pleasing and well-directed movie yet. The screenplay is mostly great too, though the end product does not quite coalesce into something I totally loved. However I do want to see it again, and all the stuff I liked has really stuck with me.

Maybe for films like this, that are particularly tonally ambitious and out there in terms of some of their creative decisions, are simply worth watching and forming your own opinion on.",7
"I didn't think it was possible to make a movie this bad in this day an age. John Wick is tougher than James Bond, Batman, Ethan Hunt and Jack Bauer, and could probably take all of them at once. The body count is completely ridiculous. Or maybe just absurd, not sure. I won't give away John Wick's motivation, but let's just say he overreacts just a bit. You take a bite of his muffin, and he will kill your family type of overreaction. Stay away from this movie, complete waste of time, not a single redeeming thing here.",4
"I'll be honest. I watched less than an hour of this before bailing out. Whatever good may have happened after I turned off the TV, it could not possibly outweigh the absolute crap I'd seen up until that point. It's an insult to the men who risked and lost their lives to misrepresent such a pivotal event in the 20th century. Really, all the dramatic freight you need for a fantastic movie is there in Dunkirk. All you have to do is tell the story and you'd have a great film. Instead, there is this mish-mash of whatever random blah blah yuk stupidity. Yes, that is exactly as much sense as it makes, any of it. I was not just disappointed, I was insulted. A generation of young people will grow up with a very badly mistaken impression about Dunkirk, and that is the worst possible outcome of a bad movie about a historical event. Shame on all the people responsible for this completely crap movie.",1
"The idea that the Kim family are underdogs simply because they're poor is what makes this movie unenjoyable. I like dark comedies as much as the next guy, and I like watching well-deserving people get their just desserts. But every single character in this film, minus the Park kids, are just so awful - to each other, to others, to themselves - that I never felt any sympathy to the Kims and instead just sighed my way through the movie thinking, ""oh my god, of course this is where this is going because what else could possibly happen.""",2
"This movie takes diversity, and green, to another level. Is this perhaps the real reason behind its numerous nominations and 4 oscars? Impress the Academy voting members with the prevailing agenda themes and you have a winner. Fertile, and cunning, imagination is key. The movie is watchable but very much doubt audiences will be rushing back for a second viewing. Thanks to Film4 I watched it on tv tonight and glad it wasn't in a cinema.",4
Netflix didn't disapoint!!! Before first seson i expected a rape on the story but it was surprisingly good. In second season Netflix delivered what I hoped for! They nutered all the caracters changed the plot completly and created a massive smelly crap. Why would you follow the plot form a book sold in 15 million copies which evolved into a great game? Steve the screenwriter knows better.,1
Dhaka is presented very badly. Police and location seems not from dhaka. Worst movie,1
There is no sequence in the story some time you tell the story of lata and the boy nishant and suddenly you forget about them and start the love of huma be consisitatnt its the finale and there is no progress on any thing not on dean not on huma not on nishant.,3
"The best part is about the robot and Will cast by Maxwell, and it is exactly the message that the poster tries to convey. I am very moved by the performance of the character Will. Without the genuine heartfelt interactions of Will and the robot, the scripts would be a total disaster. It's important that I encourage sincere feelings and sparkles of the human soul, so I give a much higher rating point than average.

Though, the overall scripts are disappointing. It is explicitly against laws of nature, and characters are deeply flawed except Will Robinson. Sci-fi should have paid more respect to laws of nature. There are so many direct or even violent objections of various characters against orders that the storyline lack of backgrounds and consistency. Since it is a TV series I don't see why it is in such a hurry.",9
"I don't know why i watched this. May be coronavirus compelled me to watch even this type of movie.

1989 - you will not feel any evidence of that era, except some antique items. There was no proper research on how was India, especially UP, at that time.",3
"Too slow for me, and when are people going to learn to let the police do their job. Becoming a criminal yourself doesn't resolve anything!",5
"The boys is different from several series and movies that we have seen as heroes, it is something new and surprising, it is just fantastic and animal.",9
"I heard it would be a pastiche of Agatha Christie, heard there would be nice locations and thought: love it already! Also, Sandler and Aniston mean nothing to me one way or the other. So I was ready to have immense fun with this movie despite what grumps would say. I will reveal nothing that isn't on the trailer

The murder mystery tropes are all there:

the finite number of suspects due to isolation (in this case, a boat),
a vacation trip where a murder simply happens,
the dagger, the butler, the scream in the middle of the night (and who does not love it?)


STILL, even with all those references that I loved to identify, and even despite the beautiful locations such as Cartagena and Lake Como... even then I felt embarrassed for all those involved. Such a risibly unfunny comedy with Aniston and Sandler playing comedy schticks that never, ever, and I'm an easy laugh, elicited even a chuckle from little me, and did I say I was ready to love the movie? Oh well.",2
"Nice try Netflix, but you miserably failed. I had so high hopes for the Witcher series. May be my hopes were to high. The one thing I love about the show is the choice of Geralt. Henry Chavill is pure gold and without him it would be much worse. Sadly, here the good things end! I know the series should not be compared to the games bla bla bla ... but may be the showrunner and writer should have copied a bit more from CD-Project.

The (third) game is nearly perfect. The design of the costumes, the atmosphere, the music everything fits so well and then we have Netflix.

Starting with an ethnic diversity that is just wrong for a story that portrays a Slavic country in the (may be) 14th - 15th century. Every second person on screen has a dark skin color I have no words for this cast decision. Then the story .... there is no story that one can follow watching the show. The costumes just look awful (i will not mention the ball sack armor)! Where die the money go Netflix invested in this series?

I really hope that, if there is a second season, things will change and the series will improve!",4
"That was an absolute editing nightmare filled the the lid with product placements and unbelievably bad actors playing the roles of unbelievable bad guys.

The 100,000 or so ludicrous-speed cuts may induce an epileptic seizure (an actual warning just before the movie begins). The movie jumps back and forth through past and present without explanation at a furious pace-only stopping momentarily to frame a Lavazza coffee cup or a Heineken beer or any other of the plethora of sponsors. Lots and lots of ad money.

I think this movie feels as if you hooked your brain up to a computer and downloaded a lifetime of memories in 5 seconds-but the memories are useless and stupid and there are 2 hours of them.

And the completely unnecessary violence? I feel like Michael Bay was told to keep the violence to a minimum and he was all like, ""Now I'm totally going to brutally murder 2000 people for literally no reason whatsoever-and I'm going to show EVERYTHING."" Did anyone else scrunch and raise their eyebrows at all the unnecessary innocent casualties caused by the ""good guys""?

What was the parkour guy there for? I mean, his position on various rooftops is solely so he can parkour down to the ground when he's needed? Why is he always up there to begin with?

In all fairness, I imagine this movie might have been much better if the cut was a full 3 hours long before some exec told Bay to cut it down to 2 hours. So he left all the action scenes and removed literally everything else. I have no idea if that's true. But I hope it is, because WTF?

It's a heist movie without the planning parts. I have no idea what happened but there were loads of incredibly corny one-liners stacked up like an assembly line of cheese.

They spent a lot of money of this, though-mainly on the explosions and dismembered bodies.

The ONLY redeeming part of this film is Ryan Reynolds. As usual, he carried the movie as best he could but something tells me he was told to keep to the script more than usual. So it's not your full RR experience.

I call it a movie because it's certainly not a film. It's the kind of mindless action you can watch with your loud buddies and miss just as much of the plot as if you watched it alone.

I gave it 3 stars only because of Reynolds.

Mildly entertaining cuz 'splosions.",3
"It was ok. Meh. Overall movie lacked the emotion of the first it really any emotion. Characters were not..... characters showing emotion like the first at all.... Biggest flaw and made it not lovable. It's easier to do in the original animation though, but still. All of them were pretty stale and blah.",3
"I see negative reviews on here and i do not understand. this is fun, epic, and an interesting superhero show unlike anything seen before. the writing, music and sets really take me back to what sitcoms used to be. the writing and story makes me question what is happening and what will happen. Marvel entered phase 4 right. can't wait for the next episode.",9
"Typical situation. Some Hollywood insiders put out some piece of trash that thumbs its nose at anything with any sense and all of the ""smart"" people rave about it. In the vision of the producers, all of the decent people are stupid and the criminals are the interesting ones. Meanwhile, two hours are wasted with lousy dialog, poor acting and pacing that makes the ice age look like a party. Of course, it won some Oscars! How else would the intelligentsia living in the brain-addled, sunshine paradise of Southern California prove that the rest of us don't know anything. ""Oh yeah! You betcha, yeah!"" Steve Buscemi and the Cohen Bros. should not produce any other expectations. They are lousy, but have exceeded their typical capacity for producing junk with this one.",1
"It may be childish but it has a lot of hidden meanings and keeps you hooked throughout. No matter how many times I watched it I liked it and understood different things, different when I was younger and completely different when I grew up. I highly recommend it for all ages, it's a little hard to find because it's not on many platforms but it's worth looking for.

"The movie failed for me, I didn't feel the motivation that the characters had and I kinda felt like the movie was an excuse for the Marvel heroes to fight one another. That aside the cinematography was good (not great) and credits to that stunt crew! I also experienced Iron Man being very annoying, which is a weird first time to see it this far. I feel like this was an opportunity for this franchise to do something endearing, but it ended up with a movie without purpose. Action for me is best when it is re-watchable and you can go back to the movie, whenever you feel like getting entertained. So 5/10 score as decent, but it didn't break anything (Other than having a good Spiderman of course)",5
"Well, I feel sufficiently cold, wet and salty. Solid acting and effects. Progression was better than most A24 films. Sounds were unnerving, no music. I liked the mania but not a lot of the...plot? Kinda hoped there was a little more supernatural and less psychology. I don't regret it but I don't really recommend it.",3
"The more this movie goes on, the more plot holes you begin to notice. You're waiting for the movie to give you the answers. But it doesn't. It just frustrates you even more with additional plot holes. The writing for this film is probably one of the worst I've ever seen: the characters, the plot, the script, everything. By the end of this film, you'll feel like it was all pointless. You'll question everything and ultimately be left very very unsatisfied. Also, the CGI is pretty awful. This movie is just a huge waste of time.

You're better off watching Garland's previous film, Ex Machina (2014), which is very good. It's actually hard to believe that the mind behind that film created this trash.",2
"What a cool show! I had no idea what to expect when I started it. Was quite sceptical but it really surprised me. The trio's comedic timing is on point, we get Selena's intense acting skills that make you feel things you didn't even know you could feel. Steve and Martin - hilarious but also bring so much soul to the show. Story was enticing, a few cameos that made me excited too! (Hi miss Tina!) Well made!!! Chapeau!",10
"The slow burn and the initial reveal of the concept is really original, inspiring and gripping. Then they slow burn everything. It quickly gets tedious and boring. You are forced to stick around for an ending that just makes you angry they wasted your time and interest.",2
"They must be paying people to give this movie any kind of approval at all. Those in ivory towers pontificating on existential meaning and the use of post modern allegory to defend this film are just missing the point,i e: it's a bad movie. From beginning to end, it's just bad. I don't want to argue the technical virtues, for sake of argument, I will affirm some good photography, special effects, and maybe even the art design. But WOW! the movie just made no sense. The was no character identification, just nothing in the story made yo like or sympathize with anyone. There was no clear sense of direction in the story line or even in the editing. The acting was mediocre and lackluster. The characters themselves were paper this and stereotypical. I can't emphasis enough my contempt for this garbage. And please, anyone who brings up 2001, I will throttle you..",2
"Most of the great critical and audience reviews you'll see are based on the first couple of episodes directed by Jason Bateman. But then he's gone and other directors step in for the remaining 8 episodes. Sadly the show gets slow and boring from that point to the end.

I didn't know about any of this as I watched but found myself slowly procrastinating on watching new episodes. I did finally watch through to the end and wish I never watched any of it.

So ... if you're excited by the characters and mystery in the beginning - just realize, it never ever is that interesting again. If you do continue to watch beyond episode 2, you'll see what I mean.",6
"What an awesome anime. Great characters, good plot, keeps me entertained! This show gives a very good look on heroism and not one episode has let me down! Each character is very different than the other and each of their story's are incredible. Even if you don't watch anime I highly recommend giving this one a try. You can get attached to any and every character if you want to because there have been no deaths!",9
"I made this account just so I could talk about how bad this movie is. Especially when compared to the other marvel movies. I've been excited to see this pile of garbage movie since venom came out. But in true Sony fashion you ruined what could have been a great movie. It's ok we will all just wait 6-7 years for you to reboot it and make it slightly less crappy. It's like your research for these characters were done simply by looking at a few comic book covers. This should have been better than infinity wars movies. But nope. Just another crap shoot.

At this point just give up. Let marvel have the rights back so we can actually have something good to watch.",4
May god bless the crew still having goosebumps super awesome,10
Season 1: everyone was obsessed with this so i watched it and tbh i think it was because i wasn't really focused on the show but for me it started to get really good like everyone else said near the last 2 episodes. everything else wasn't bad but i guess i just wasn't in the mood and it took out from my experience. it was good tho. now i can't wait for the falcon and the winter solider cuz bucky plz,7

"This is the kind of movie I (like to) watch when sitting in a 10 hours flight, it kills time, you don't have to bother about the background noise of the engines muffling some beautiful score, you won't wake up your neighbors by laughing out loud and it's so boring that you do not need anything artificial to fall asleep. Somewhere in the movie De Niro talks to himself in the mirror... I couldn't but see his younger version in Taxi Driver and for 1 second I was hoping that he WOULD say his famous line, then we would all have been reassured that it was all just a big parody, but he didn't (of course) and everything went downhill further along. Two stars nevertheless because De Niro does what he does best, do the De Niro and Ann Hathaway is not that bad an actress.",2
"The first two seasons were really exciting, but the third one... What happened to the creators of the series? Why did it turn into a comedy with caricatured and frankly ugly characters, completely unlike what they were in previous seasons? I'm now watching the fourth episode of the third season and I am seriously considering to quit, because it's not ""Stranger Things"". This is trash which is kinda: look, eighties! we are eighties! I rate it at six points. Ten for the first season, eight for the second and one for the third.",6
"Great story line with lots of action. Superb acting - looking forward to series 2.

Homelander is ace",9
"I was really excited for Loki which really delivered! Loki is my favorite Marvel Disney+ show and I think it's the big favorite.

Yes, the acting is good. Tom Hiddelston gives his best performance as Loki. I'm not surprised he has good chemistry with Owen Wilson, they worked together in the 2011 film Midnight in Paris which I skipped.

Loki is very compelling and mysterious like WandaVision so you're not sure exactly where it's going. There are a few twists so you're not always ahead of the characters or in other words it's not so predictable.

Loki is leisurely paced but some fans may feel it's so slow. The first episode and the finale are slow, the TVA had to be established. The time travel stuff is easy to figure out, I'm sure some fans compared Loki to Doctor Who which I couldn't get into. Loki isn't an action show but it has more action than WandaVision.

The visuals are great, they're movie quality like the previous shows. Yes, Loki is CGI heavy. The cinematography is gorgeous mainly in Episode 3 which I don't think is filler and the finale. The TVA looks like a retro 70s world.

Like most MCU projects, Loki is lighthearted. Loki is a lighthearted science fiction crime thriller which sounds weird but I think that's the idea. Loki has good banter with Mobius, Loki is a prisoner. Yes, there are some serious scenes in fact there's some heart.

Overall, Loki is another great MCU Disney+ show in fact it's my favorite. Loki is cheesy, clever and weird. Keep in mind it's not an action show. Yes, kids can see it. I'm glad Loki was renewed for Season 2.",9
"I got the abduction. Rescue. But after that... Completely lost... Who, huh, what?",3
"This was a complete waste of money. With the pastoral versus industrial storyline, 'rousing' speech (although not on a horse for once), you expect to see ewoks partying in the last scene. It could be dances with wolves, return of the Jedi, braveheart or any other little guy vs the machine. Nothing stands out about it, nothing makes you want to pause if you have to go to the loo or make a cuppa. The CGI may be pretty but is hardly the basis for a good film and you get the feeling that the storyline is just there to justify the computer time. There is no humour, no insight, little characterisation and a formulaic plot. And inoffensive way to pass a couple of hours when you don't having anything else to do and thats about the best you can say for it. If you're impressed by CGI with no content, this film is for you.",2
"I want to preface this by saying that, while I usually get around to watching most MCU films, I'm certainly not highly invested in them. I tried watching this show out of vague curiosity, with few expectations.

This show is like a collection of high-stakes, interdimensional, personal conversations. Sometimes it verges on theatrical. Of course, it's with a sci-fi backdrop. If you like Doctor Who you'll probably love Loki, too. Don't expect nonstop action like some Marvel properties. This show isn't about that. However, it's exciting in its own way, and has some fun twists and turns. I plan to watch it again. My top D+ Marvel show so far.",9
"The film of alternate histories takes its time to build up atmosphere and character, but at an astonishing 2h 41min feels too slow with some (a lot of) material that doesn't really advance the plot. That is why it is also uneven, with distinct variance in tone and not without its flat patches. It is watchable, but I don't want to re-seen it again or buy it. I was mostly entertained by it, but it is a bit of a mess. Bruce Lee is little bit more cartoonish than rest of characters and didn't come off well, while Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) comparing to male characters feels a little bit flat. I just felt unsatisfied after it was finish. Love him or not, when you're watching a Tarantino movie, you know it is a Tarantino film. I'm just not a big fan of his.

Rating: 6/7- just because of fantastic and hard to achieve effortless Brad Pitt",6
"I am a sucker for a good Sci-Fi. Preferably a type that sticks more to the Sci, and less to the Fi. This series is making an attempt at both, but it mostly relies on telenovella twists and unnecessary drama to drive the plot. Characters' motivation is unconvincing at best - they seem to be more preoccupied with their personal issues than the mission of colonisation - so much for selecting the best scientists for a brave new world...

Reminds me of ""Lost"". But in space. Pun intended.",4
"Cash grab J.K. Rowling with her merry band of Hollyweird associates wooed audiences with nice period costumes and quality production, covering a carcass of hollow story and characters bereft of real drama. It is the kind of quality writing on par with the likes of Twilight series.",4
"Let's just appreciate a good, entertaining thriller when we have one. Lawrence was great. I'll admit I'm already a fan but I was surprised to be engaged by her Russian portrayal in this movie. I was left guessing in this film until the end. I was entertained. The plot was interesting. I wanted to know what would happen next. What more can you want from a movie? Those giving it 1 star wanted to hate the movie. There's very few movies that warrant that rating in the grand scheme of things so there's absolutely no way this one could. It's absolutely worth a watch. Personally, I found it refreshingly original and well portrayed.",9
"Even if it is based on true events, it's all just a bit to slapstick and fa-fetched for me. The story centres around ""Berendsen"" (Christian Bale) who is asked by his pal ""Woodman"" (John David Washington) to help out the widowed ""Mrs. Meekins"" (Taylor Swift) whose husband - a former American general - has mysteriously died. A slightly dodgy autopsy follows and pretty soon, someone has gone under the wheels of a car and our two gents are being sought by the police and by a clandestine organisation. Can they stay free and can we discover what is truly going on? Well David O. Russell decides to tell the story by chopping and changing the timelines, and so we retrace our steps to a WWI hospital where both men find themselves in the care of the slightly enigmatic nurse ""Valerie"" (Margot Robbie) who collects the shrapnel she takes from their wounded bodies and makes works of art from it. The three form an immutable bond before time and circumstances drive them apart, only for them to reunite unexpectedly as their current-day dilemma reaches it's denouement. The film looks great, certainly. The attention to detail, the costumes and the score all work well. It's the narrative, though, that really struggled for me. The story is just too insubstantial to sustain the 2¼ hour running time and as ever, I found Robbie a remarkably sterile actress to watch. Nobody could ever cause Bale of not trying, but there is a distinct lack of on-screen chemistry across the board here. None of that is helped by Rami Malek's rather underwhelming contribution as ""Tom"" - her wealthy if eccentric and clearly manipulating brother. Oddly enough, I found myself thinking this had something of the Agatha Christie to it - and maybe it would have worked better with a much tighter cast on a stage where the humour and quirkiness of the characterisations could have been better exploited? As it is, though, this sort of meanders back and forth with little impetus and I have to say I was a bit bored half way through.",6
"I couldn't sleep, i watched first episode and that's it for me. When i was kid, I'd watched movie, it was fantastic back then but now I'm kinda old and this is ""meh""",1
The show is a modern adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes in modern society. It's fun for a book enthusiast to see the contrast between the book and the show. Benedict Cumberbatch as the leading protagonist is an absolute delight and Martin Freeman as Watson is a delight the two compliment each other on the screen and are fun to watch. The show reached its peek in Season 2 Finale when Sherlock tricks Moriarty and the entire audience. But from there the performance has only declined and according to me the season finale of the fourth season was just rock bottom. It is still a good show and worth your time.,9
"Oops I did it again ... I looked at the IMDb ratings and decided to take a chance, even though it was a 2022 film and I should have known the ""magnificent"", ""fantastic"", ""once in a lifetime"", ""flawless"", 10/10 reviews would be being posted on IMDb on an industrial scale. What a mess! Long, meandering, confusing, pretentious, boring, chaotic. Personally I couldn't wait for it to finally end and, when it finally, thankfully, did, reminded myself that, in future I'll only read the IMDb reviews after I've watched the film. Lesson learned.",3
"The overarching story is rather addicting and kinda hard to stop watching, and the cgi is super on point. However, on the short term, scene after scene just follows cliché problem after cliché problem that shouldn't have occurred, issues caused by stupid decisions by the Robinson family, or are seemingly injected into the story just to cause strife. The show follows an ungodly amount of clichés, as stated before, which are painful to look past......but the robot is cool, and continues to be so. He's really all your going to be wondering about after awhile as everyone else is pretty one dimensional.",5
Most of the movie keeps going back to the past and to the future so much so that it completely fails to keep the audience engaged.,2
"Even reading the names of the cast in the opening credits gave me goosebumps! All the comedy giants in one movie. Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, Michael Cera, Emma Stone, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Bill Hader!!! Such a delicacy.

Starts more or less the same as any teenage story, it shows the last day of high school, the end of an era, everyone is pumped and out of their mind and wants to throw the last epic party, at least that's the plan! But don't be fooled into thinking this movie is for kids only, it comes with guaranteed enjoyment for any age!

With so many broken stereotypes and dumbass characters, this film is a nonstop laugh machine. Awesome awesome stuff man!

And remember kids, cops can have a good time too, and don't drink alcohol until you're 21 😉",9
"I watched the movie while I was studying my ""the history of economic thought"" exams. So we have read amazing articles about primitive societies written by Polanyi, Sahlins... and I can easily say that this movie reflects the hunter gatherers' life perfectly.",7
"Overall, the movie doesn't get boring so that's a good thing. However, casting is way off. Ralph Fiennas is the only good casting here. I read the screenplay first, and I feel like they cut some important nuances. Don't get me wrong, you still get the idea but the movie lost some of the essence of the story. I feel like structure could be worked on. Otherwise, after 45 minutes, it all becomes a bit more engaging. Characters can be a bit more engaging. It is still a good past time activity for after work, so you won't lose anything but if you can, I would suggest everyone to read the screenplay which is available on the internet.",3
"The show had great character development and is quite scary sometimes. The ending of season 3 was quite emotional as well. And,sometimes it can get funny.but why I would not give it 10/10 is because a few relationships in season 3 did not work for me. That's my only flaw other than that this show is phenomenal.",9
"Cliches, 2 moms who somehow made a daughter without sperm I guess, boring dialogue, the action was okay, effects were very good. Awful 2 hours.

PS: Since IMDB says ""Sorry, your review is too short. It needs to contain at least 600 characters.'', I'm gonna copy my view a couple of times: Cliches, 2 moms who somehow made a daughter without sperm I guess, boring dialogue, the action was okay, effects were very good. Awful 2 hours. I identify as a black, pansexual, transgeder individual, so you are supposed to only support me and click on the Yes, this review was helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can spend some family time watching this movie together.,6
"Only a few episodes in, but I love this! I've always been a Steve Martin fan, and he delivers. I love how the trio of character balance each other out with the conflicting ages, personalities, and lifestyles that are all drawn together by their love of true crime. The twist at the end of the first episode was enough to draw me in!

I also grew up watching Selena Gomez on Disney, so it's nice to see her act in a show for an adult audience.",8
"The pilot was good, the storyline so far seems stale. How is this show any different than The Walking Dead? Seems like this universe has been explored many many times. Not sure what all the hype is about. I think a lot of people will watch it for a season or two then fire of it just like other zombie post-apocalytic shows. The characters seem interesting from the 1st episode but again, nothing new here from what I've seen. Seems like they'll be traveling across America battling infected humans while getting to know each other. Doesn't seem all that exciting to be honest. I think this show will fizzle out fast.",6
Beginning is awesome but climax could be much better.overall it is good.,7
"This was not only a remake of a particular movie by the same name, it was a remake of a lot of movies telling similar stories. It wasn't quite unwatchable, but nothing about it was particularly moving or compelling. Lady GaGa has a great voice, Bradley Cooper is good looking. We knew all that going in. Even the inestimable Sam Elliott couldn't add much to this wooden, slow moving clunker.",4
"Unfortunately, due to a type of treacherous nepotism in Hollywood, this mediocre movie won the honor which should not have been its due. Ron Howard has played Salieri to much more deserving directors, with the academy's approval. It will be quickly relegated to the ""what was that movie about?"" pile in a few years, just as Annie Hall has been. If it had not been awarded this undeserved high honor, it could have sunken into the obscurity which is its fate with a little dignity. Now it will always be remembered as the movie that made millions of people decide that Oscar was no longer worth watching.",2
"the first time I ever watched this film was when I was in year 7 history class, and I've being watching it ever since, I think its a great film that shows how anything is possible and also how people can judge others really quickly. but also I think that the film is a really good film to watch and I would recommend this film to others, as its one of my all time favourite and that if you haven't watched it sit yourself down and watch it, because you are missing out on a great film So do watch this film because it also learns you about allot of cultural history in America and its just a great film to watch if your on your own or even with the family.",7
"First of all, there are some good moments this show is watchable but they are few and far between.

The casting of the two main characters is good, but the rest of the support cast are average at best and mostly just plain bad and unbelievable.

There are some moments of tension, action end emotion that are believable but those are also rare and far in between.

What there is plenty tho is unbelievable narratives, terrible writing and dialogue, terrible plot holes and plot armor and finally diversity.

There is so much diversity that it just taints the whole creation, throwing even that little immersion you get out of the window.

This could of been a good show, if it was just that- a show, but this is more of a political statement sadly than a piece of entertainment.

1/10

there are much better shows out there worth your time.",1
Kaithi.directed by lokesh kanagaraj is undoubtedly the best action thriller in India and one of the best in the world. The climax is just masterpiece!!! Watch for karthi's genuine performance and Lokesh Kanagaraj's Hollywood level direction.,10
"I won't waste too much time but save your money. It's amateur storytelling and whatever message exists is terrible. Hands down one of the worst films i've ever seen. Not sure which I hated most, the performances, the nonsensical plot, or the songs. The writers kissed pretty much any worthwhile mark you could have had with this material. It's like the writers never heard of character arcs or bothered even writing an outline. This was a hot mess. I don't understand anyone liking this film. Almost 2 hours and $20 I'll never get back. On the positive notes I liked.... well i'll think of something. Will Farrel was wasted in this film too. Ugh.",1
"As a huge Barbie fan I was first sceptic, but as the movie trailers came out I got more and more enthousiastic. The movie was a big 10 for me. The jokes, the costumes, the actors, the atmosfere, it is all there!!!! Even the music is so nice with all the extras!

This movie definitely deserves Oscar's,

If you are a big Barbie fan you will understand the jokes even better! Especially if you are older than 30. It's fantastic! It is not really a movie for childrens, they will love the dancing and clothes and so but will not understand everything I think.

So if you want to have a good laugh! Go see this movie!",10
I've never been so disappointed in a film like I was when I watched all these fine first class actors trying to move and act a role that was supposed to be given to their grandsons. Seeing them with their ridiculous make up fighting to move and breathe I thought to myself Scorcese lost his mind at the end of his career and acted like Charles Manson invited all his life friends to a mass suicide shame on you Scorcese!,2
"Yes, this is an almost nonstop action movie about an broke ex soldier hired to rescue the kidnapped son of a jailed drug lord in Bangladesh. The seemingly straightforward rescue goes south when those who hired our protagonist (Chris Hemsworth) refuse to pay the fee they have agreed on, instead trying to bypass Hemsworth and rescue the kid themselves. Add to the mix the rival crime lord in Dhaka, whose people originally kidnapped the boy but have lost him to Hemsworth and now will use all of their resources, including most of the bought and paid for police and military personnel on the payroll, to recover or kill the boy.

This movie has great action sequences and cinematography going for it, but it needed a better sound editor, as many of the regional Indian dialects sound like mumbling to the western ear. Also many of the vehicles and scenes looked more like India than Bangladesh. Even Thailand was listed on the ending credits as one filming location, but it is difficult to pick out any scenes that looked like Thailand.",6
"After a long time, I liked a Michael Bay movie to some extent. Even though the initial chase sequence was too long and bit exaggerated, the movie in its overall runtime, was very fast paced. If the storyline could have been better maybe the movie could have been more of a pleasure.

Nonetheless, Michael Bay does what he always do. Action with blasts everywhere, total chaos and rampage. It was a decent (not great though) watch.

I will go with 6.5/10 for ""6 Underground""",7
"Hunched and full of dread, I went to the preview bracing myself for disappointment and came out grinning and strutting to AC/ DC.

IM2 picked up well from where it had left off in stylish form - sexy, and piles of style from Robert Downey Jnr and a commandeering supporting cast: notably Don Cheadle as IM2's ally Rhodey and an award should go to Sam Rockwell's chucklesome performance as a wannabe Stark. The audience were a good crowd, quite a few fans, so there were a number of laugh out loud moments. Whiplash's psychotic drawling character was an admirable antagonist that even the wise cracking chaps at the back mid-heckle (maybe its the shows I go to, but there's always one!)

There were a number of bad reviews citing poor/ unnecessary plot, and even ""too many baddies"" in a Spiderman III esquire way. As far as I could see, the plot points this particular reviewer had listed as frivolous and unnecessary were a good scriptwriters tool to add growing tension.

Sound effects were good, rocking the action, but the sound track didn't synch amazingly with certain scenes - had a couple of good choons though (see AC/DC comment above). Johansson plays a tantalising role - but not due to her her acting and witty lines. Catsuit? What catsuit?!

Off to go and watch Iron Man 1 again now... my man is convinced it is better than IM2. I am of the opinion that we're spoilt with the concept and style of the first movie, and we're harder to impress with the second. Hope Im right... there a bit of money riding on this...

Fans will want to see the bonus scene.",8
"Superbad 2007, 118mins, 15 Director: Greg Mottola Cast includes: Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, Michael Cera, Bill Hader, Christopher Mintz-Plasse

It's really been Judd Apatows year, the comedy guru steered Knocked Up to #2 in the US domestic charts bettered only by the pirate fuelled adventures of Johnny Depp and co. on it's opening weekend. Then several weeks later Superbad hit theatres this time with Apatow producing, the magic still hit home the feature managed to take $32 million on it's opening weekend alone, on a mere $20 million budget. Both pictures also drew great reviews marking a mammoth year for Apatow, and based on Superbad he probably deserves mucho credit. The film depicts two pals Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) very different people in one grossly over dependent friendship. Seth is foul mouthed and obsessed with sex, Evan is more controlled and a lot less crazy about intercourse. Both are socially outcast but when invited to the last big party before they graduate the boys and their nerdy tag along Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) acquire a fake I.D and attempt to get a massive booze haul, so as to impress the girls they like and try to lose that one thing all teenage boys want to see the back off. Their virginity. The film is set really into two stories that off Seth and Evan which eats up two thirds of the screen time, and that of Fogell and two lovable but inept cops played by Seth Rogen and Bill Hader. The two are conjoined at the beginning and at the end, but the middle section splices between the two. The film is written in the same crude but clever manner that films like American Pie and The 40 year Old Virgin (another Apatow product) big hits in recent years. It's nice to see a teen comedy that whilst containing all the same elements of the genre, also has a heart, soul and some extremely familiar situations and gags. Films like Road Trip, Pledge This and Van Wilder only maintain half of that equation and as a result are only ever half as good as Superbad indeed in the case of the Paris Hilton DTV movie, they can be a lot worse than even that. The performances are all excellent, Hill can be a tad irritating at times but it's well tempered by Cera's always charming turn. The two share great chemistry, the audience truly believes in their 10 year friendship. As Fogell Christopher Mintz-Plasse really gets the majority of the laughs, he's not a character with any real emotional core but his hilarious I.D (he names himself only McLovin) and his antics with Rogen and Hader are just about the funniest things in the film. Speaking of that duo they're also very good, particularly Hader as the more unstable of the two. One of the key problems the film has is it's lack of development with any female characters. The two chicks the lead duo are after are good looking and pleasant but nothing more. The young actresses do fine with the material I expect they where given, it's just the material itself feels light in the load. The jokes are usually amusing with several laugh out loud moments interspersed within the movie. Obviously a few gags don't work (a sequence involving a young child drawing dicks didn't do it for me) but generally the observations made by screenwriters Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen are funny, witty and surprisingly affecting and familiar. Within the Summer it was released I found only The Simpsons Movie funnier. At two hours director Greg Mottola lets the film drag on 10 minutes to long, but to make the emotional points he needs the man is right to take the picture past the standard 90 minute runtime for this sort of fare. Some parties have read into a gay subtext within the production, I didn't pick up on that, just that these where two friends very close to each other. Seeing as the film also points out that both guys are going to different colleges, the film also deals with the partition of this friendship. Some of the conversations surrounding this are really well done and tug a little at the audience's heart strings. Superbad has a few flaws but none are fatal. The film is funny and emotionally engaging which is what it really needs to be, and thus some of the dud jokes and 2-D characters are easy to forgive. The film offers enjoyment and a little more, which is much more than most of it's over stuffed genre can muster. It ain't Supergood, but I'd certainly give it a watch.",7
"The number of times ""mind blowing"" was used in the positive reviews is really making me question how many of them are real? Watched with 5 people who love MCU, sci-fi, and movies in general and all thought this was pretty awful.

Imagine if the writers for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, no, not the fun original series, but the brutally boring full length film, and some disgruntled ex Marvel writers went on a serious bender one night and tried fo figure out the worst possible story arc, then intentionally targeted it towards 12 years olds and aging millennials longing for a simpler time. You know the ones, they buy vinyl records, not because they sound better, but because it is ""cool"". Now imagine before they went on this bender they binge watched Dr. Who episodes, and no, not the Tom Baker ones, and the movie Betelgeuse. Now imagine they didn't write while they were on the bender, but afterwards, when they were hungover and not feeling very well.

That is a nutshell is Loki.",2
"I enjoyed the first episodes but now at the 4th episode things are getting bogged down. Too many sub-plots, too many characters who are not really involved in building suspense. It is a murder mystery isn´t it? The music seems to trinkle on without supporting the dramatisation. Compare this with ""Insomnia"" with Robin Williams and Al Pacino. Now THAT was a real murder mystery! I guess they don´t make em like they used to.",3
"Not a good film but not a bad film either. Self indulgent & thinks itself cleverer then it is. However; when you have Bale, he elevates any film he acts in. Remains to be seen if John Washington is capable of filling Denzel's shoes on this showing, although i did love blackklansman. However Bale does get some fantastic help here; the brilliant Taylor-Joy, Zoe Zaldana, Andrea Risborough, Rami Malek & the legend DeNiro. Nice to see the criminally underrated & underused Michael Shannon here aswell. Disappointing script, weak plot that never truly lands cleanly but Bale's performance & acting is always worth your time. Him & the supporting cast elevate the material. It also does have some entertainment value & while far from the finished article & somewhat wasting a incredible cast....it still isn't a complete waste of your time.",6
Know what episodes to avoid and this is the best single-episode show of all time.,9
"Vision said that in ""Infinity War."" So it is with the MCU. Let's accept it. They had a solid 10+ year run with over 20 very entertaining movies with mostly good scripts. But now, Thor The Dark World--once panned for its bottom of the barrel script--is now joined by these latest installments from Marvel Studios. Indeed, it would appear that the machine that thrilled us for over a decade has ground to a halt like a murder-bot without juice. Having taken its historic run of successes for granted and accepted any hackneyed storyline and script as acceptable for its multi-billion dollar fanbase. This fan wonders; was there ever a discussion in some boardroom where someone said: ""Michael Waldron? Really? Do we really want to trust our huge fan base to his FIRST movie script?"" OR, ""Isn't Sam the same horror movie director who 14 years ago pretty much sank our most popular character, Spider-Man?"" Perhaps the exec who thought these things was sitting next to Baron Zemo who promptly silenced them. Who can know what goes into toppling an empire? But the crumble is on full display. Vision, it appears, was right. It was beautiful, but it had to end someday.",4
"A Spin off from the Harry potter franchise, you wonder how they can make a movie out of a textbook.

The plot line is pretty standard with love, betrayal and climax. A huge focus on the protagonist leads to underdevelopment of the main villain. The movie ends in a whimper when compared to the initial build up.You won't even feel frightened from the main villain who goes off as quickly as he comes.

On the positive side, a huge production budget lends to gorgeous animations. You are able to see many of Rowling's creations come to life. Its a fun to watch how they are unique in their own respect with magic complimenting their personalities.

Watch the movie just for these Fantastic Beasts and hope that the sequels are able to do justice to the series.",7
"My Sassy Girl Story about a young man who falls in love with a bitchy, sassy, emotional, beautiful young woman. The story is about their relationship which is full of ups and downs. From her hitting and demeaning him to romantic walks and deep conversations. The movie is a fantastic treat for fans of romantic comedy. The movie itself is quite humorous....not entirely my cup of laughs, but the movie has lots of charm and two talented actors who know how to have fun on screen. They both really know how to use their facial expressions.

Reading another comment which said there's nothing wrong with it....there are not really many things wrong with this movie. The movie itself was a tad long, but for any fans of romantic comedies it'll fly right by. Him being so subservient to her was a little bothersome as well. These are nitpicking things. The movie was silly, romantic, sad and an overall joy to watch. If you know someone who is looking for a nice romantic comedy, do not hesitate to drop this.

Another gem from Korea.",9
"The Twilight Zone style introduction to each episode sets exactly the right tone for an alternate Marvel universe where familiar stories unravel quite differently because one thing changes.

Telling short stories that have depth, fleshed out characters and compelling storylines is a skilled craft. Thankfully, Marvel have hit it exactly right, somehow giving you the feeling that you have watched a feature film in each episode.",8
"In my opinion the movie is really disappointing. I expected much more... Where to start? The plot is predictable but really weird, There are to many odd scenes without any sense. The script is absolutely illogical and the characters are insensitive. I can't even like them or understand their ideals to be empathetic to them! The secondary characters aren't well developed either. In fact they don't have roles and just stand in the backgroung. I think that the love story isn't well presented because it isn't showed how exactly Elisa fell in love with a monster. It's weird because it happens very quickly. There are more needless scenes like boring dialogues between supporting characters than with the MAIN characters, and there is no message... However the music and the cinematography is well-made. The idea is interesting but it's not well presented to the audience...",2
"Barbie, a movie about the beloved doll and all her identities and her friends, what could go wrong? A lot apparently. It started with voice over narration and went downhill from there. There was too much telling rather than showing. Most of this movie constantly explained everything and often told me how I should feel about it. The writing felt like it was trying too hard to be profound and tried to oversimplify complex subjects and gender roles. There were some funny moments, but a lot of the humor and story were far from subtle. I never felt drawn into the characters and what they were experiencing. The story lacked stakes. I didn't care about Barbie or Ken. In the right hands, this movie could have been fun. But Barbie didn't seem to know what it wanted to be or what story it wanted to tell.",4
"Did you ever see a seemingly good show and then start asking yourself ""Wait, why don't they just..."" or ""What? Why did they do that""? Well if not- search no further! this show will give you the chance to ask these questions dozens and dozens of times!

A good looking production and an interesting subject do start this show on a great path, but when characters start making the silliest mistakes that could *easily* be avoided- over and over and over again, or keep ignoring the most significant issues which can be resolved in seconds- this show starts to really annoy the viewer and his intelligence.

These glaring and repetitive script issues really mar what could had been a great show, but present as they are, they make it hard to suspend the disbelief and enjoy the show rather then being annoyed by it.",6
"Perhaps even grander than its predecessor, Part II throws us and Michael into the lion's den, continuing the Greek tragedy in the most potent, gripping way.",9
"The last thing we asked for in 2019 was another vampire story but I saw the rating was over 8 so I had hope. Unfortunately, it was unfounded. The show is filled with stiff acting, lazy writing, played-out plot lines, limp chemistry and hit-you-over-the-head metaphors. I adore Matthew Goode and his performance was probably the only good thing and the reason why I didn't stop after the first episode.",4
"This film is severely under par and overrated! Nolan's directing should have propelled this adventure to the cosmos, but just like the character himself, it falls flat on its face. Nolan is no action director, and it shows! Too choppy and too damn close. You need a second set of eyes to see what the hell is actually happening during the action. The music, or rather lack thereof, was horrendous. Warner Bros. hired Zimmer and Howard to compose an orchestral masterpiece, and all that was made by these two men was a two-note fanfare!? How disappointing! The bat mobile chase, the training montage, and the ""climactic"" train sequence were so cliché. Didn't we already see this in a certain web-slinger's movie. I read that Nolan used about half of the budget on the car and train chases. Where did it all go?! The tumbler chase is just loud and uneventful. The ""monorail"" has three layers of train tracks, and only ONE car on ONE track was used. What potential the climax had! What a let down! The villains were stupid, but well acted. Cillian was neat, but his Scarecrow needed more than 1 minute of screen time to make an impact on the psyche. For sure there will be a sequel, but ""Begins"" has nothing on ""Memento,"" ""Insomnia,"" and ""Following."" Does ""sucks"" have three or four U's? Happy Viewing, If you can.",2
"If your thinking about watching this show you definitely should. It's funny , emotional, entertaining and one of the most bingeable shows there is.

Season 1 9.4/10 A great season of television. The music, writing and acting were amazing. Every character were amazing ( except for Steve but he gets better) . This season never disappoints.

Season 2 9.6/10 This season was as good as the first and brought some great new characters, max and Bob , also bringing some great relationships , max and Lucas, Nancy and Jonathon, Joyce and Bob , and Steve and Dustin great and entertaining season which I couldn't stop watching and has turned into one of the best seasons on Netflix.

Season 3 8.8/10 I was worried about this season, there wasn't much left they could do, and the first 3 episodes weren't that great. But the 5 episodes after that were all fantastic episodes. It was funny and sad at the same time . It had a very sad death and really didn't disappoint and the show contains the level it had from the beginning, unlike a lot of Netflix originals.",9
Probably one of the greatest film of history 10/10,9

Just another shoot 'em up movie where the hero kills 100 hapless cops and soldiers while prevailing at the end. Trite character development. 3 stars are for cinematography only. Just like watching a video game so I guess it appeals to that audience.,3
"The walkaway feeling after watching this movie is one of bewilderment. I hope that is what they were going for cause they nailed it. Filled with more twists turns and often irrelevant detours than Snake river one thing you can say for sure is you never know what you're gonna get next. Much to it's credit if the movie was based solely on competency of filmmaking then it would score highly. Every scene is well shot and timing is done well. That's the start and end of the praise for the most part though as it's more like nearly 3 hours of skit shows that just happen to feature the same core cast in many scenes. The hot takes on hollywood through the lens of an aging actor play like Bojack Horseman but without the humour, and with much less depth. Yes people that worry about becoming has-beens will tend to be insecure, we get it. The movie loosely touches on the counter culture that sprung up in protest to the Vietnam war but the ""hippies"" are all just a right wing caricature of what they think hippies are, rather than based it real life. People that advocate for peace generally aren't prone to violence. Almost as a saving grace what little violence in the movie is so over the top that one can easily ignore it as comical, with one scene which is just brutal. At the end of the day though the move has said nothing, we as an audience has learnt nothing, and all the people are bad. There is no one at the end to support and as I said at the start, what was this even all about? If I lived in a trailer park and had hard opinions on them libtards I might have enjoyed the ending a bit more, but as it stands - bewilderment.",4
"I owned Sex, Lies and Videotape for almost a month before I finally watched it and it has grown as one of my favorite movies. There really isn't alot of great cinematography, but the actual plot, and the music is astoudingly perfect.

Although some may find it a bit strange, or even threatening that our protagonist Graham must film the women he meets in order to achieve any sexual satisfaction...even those who don't agree with his ethics will find themselves cheering for him, and hoping that he can overcome his Problem. ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES I've ever seen. 10",9
A classic probably the best movie of Bollywood.....a movie like this cannot be made again one of it's kind,10
"Venom: Let There Be Carnage is a bland, boring film that mildly entertains but never excited. This feels like a TV movie, it loses much of the humor and charm of the first and really feels like Woody Harrelson is the central character of the film rather than Venom. There isn't much plot development aside from the contained story and I'm just not sure what the point of the film was. Superhero movies are held to a higher standard these days and Venom: Let There Be Carnage falls well below that mark.",4
"This wasn't very hard to figure out. It basically telegraphed what would happen in the series. The way Vanya was constantly treated like an afterthought made it clear she was central to the main plot. What's good about this show is the interactions between the characters. They do a great job of showing their dysfunctions and how it's affected their relationships as adults. If anything, the show got too caught up in the relationship between the characters and not enough about the impeding apocalypse. It wasn't hard to figure out that Leonard was going to turn out as he did. The interactions between the siblings in the Umbrella Academy is what drives the show. The story lacks depth but I'll still watch Season 2. It has really good potential.",6
"... and gave it a chance to mid first episode ... it got worse! Premise, acting and storyline are amazingly bad.",1
"Good characters, good story, bloody and gory, social criticism. It is fresh and creative. A must watch.",9
"I was expecting a good action movie but after watching it I was totally disappointed. There is no plot at all, the director tries to be original and modern but without any result. Next time Netflix should spend their money better, big productions don't mean good results.",3
"This show is amazing, perfect balance of humor, sadness, and serious undertones along with some bad ass action sequences. This show is a pretty compelling telling of the hit monkey tale. Episode 1 had me hooked for sure.

All in all highly recommend but definitely leave the kiddos out of this one!",9
"Probably the most genuinely horrifying and harrowing cinematic experience i've ever had. I love horror movies, but for 90 agonizing minutes i was anxiously on edge, periodically actively focusing on bringing my heart rate to manageable levels.

TTM's haunting, sometimes truly disturbing moments of brutal violence never stoop to nihilism. Familiar genre elements are twisted with a masterfully dark and modern touch. It has a lot to say, its themes spanning trust and communication, social media and high school, addiction and vulnerability, trauma and denial, a refusal sometimes to come to terms with tragedy and the consequences of engaging with a world that provides an easy if temporary escape from dealing with it. The film keeps two fingers on a strong moral pulse beneath its surface thrills, trusting the audience to understand without moralizing or patronizing with over-exposition.

The only other times i've felt this way in the theater were during occasional scenes in films like annihilation & hereditary, as well as the opening sequence of midsommar. Talk to Me strikes an deeper visceral chord than any of these very high caliber films, and from its opening cut all the way through the full circle culmination it never once lets up for even a moment. This is a mean, lean ordeal with relentless pacing that never feels rushed.. This is horror filmmaking of the highest order, and not an experience i'll soon forget. Fair warning: It's a heady mix, not your father's horror, not a gateway horror hit: I recommend it to only the most ardent of my horror appreciating friends because although ultimately it's an immensely rewarding journey it is no easy trip.",9
"Its totally false statement about Dhaka.Director should respect a city and a countries armed force,you cannot show army like that supporting terrorism",1
Unbelievable bad with loads of product placements. But you cant expect anything else from a degenerate director and movie maker like michael bay. Wt is wrong with production companies? Isnt there anything like quality control anymore? This is just a cheap c movie with a far far too high budget!!,1
"The movie is very redundant in its selective criticism of our society's ills. While the message conveyed is OK, with a lot of space to add for creativity, the movie directors were burdemed with the same old tendency of virtue signalling via preaching inclusivity. Not done. Hope Anurag Basu does better and improves. Regret watching it, will recommend my friends to keep away",1
"Think back to the original Mission Impossible (the television series). The essential element was that seemingly impossible missions were made possible by carefully thought out means. While those means might stretch credulity, they still carried a plausibility and attention to detail that were critical to the franchise. The technology, logistics and psychological deceptions were clever. Fast forward to the present and every bit of cleverness and plausibility has evaporated. Nothing really makes sense: escapes depend on ridiculously convenient events; truly impossible tech appears instantly as needed; action sequences continually defy physics. There can be no suspense when magical interventions are easily at hand and guaranteed.",2
Worth watching. Series delivered a strong message.,6
"Since some of us have time on ours hands. I would check out The Boys on Amazon Prime. It only one season so far but it is a really good show. It a show about how having superheroes in this present day would be. The good, the bad and the ugly. Cant wait until season 2",9
"The head of a company that makes national defense weapons is kidnapped by Arabs and develops an iron armor to escape, later using the suit to become a super hero. This film seems like a rehash of Batman and Spiderman except it is much worse than any film in those two series. The director's obsession with tedious special effects adds to the woes of an awful script. The climactic battle between Good Medium-Sized Iron Man and Bad Over-Sized Iron Man is utterly ridiculous. Downey gives a pretty good performance, keeping this from becoming a total failure. The best thing about the film is the relationship between him and Paltrow. The worst is that stupid device in Iron Man's chest.",3
"OK, but not great. Not very faithful to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's books, and this detracts from the plot. All the supernatural stuff doesn't help, and the plot has some odd and unnecessary detours. It also drifts at times.

Direction from Guy Ritchie is good. Atmosphere is suitably dark and CGI is great.

Robert Downey Jr is great in the lead role, and Jude Law puts in a good performance as Doctor Watson.

Not a must-see, but reasonably entertaining nevertheless.",6
"This is so bad i dont know where to start. Script, acters, directing, sets, its all just bad, very bad. Have the creators even seen this themself??",1
"I've said it before and I'm saying it once again: Steve McQueen is a visual artist in every sense of the word. He fully understands the power of the image and brilliantly exploits that in channeling his message. McQueen's films are not made to entertain (those who watched Hunger and Shame will know what I mean); his films are made to shock and engage. He uses gruesomeness to shock, and visual beauty to engage.

12 Years a Slave is shockingly powerful in its adherence to reality and its details. The audience are forced to watch the graphic whipping and torture scenes, and McQueen unapologetically elongates those scenes and strips them of any non-diegetic music so as to deepen their realistic effect. Watching a man hanged to a tree and trying to keep his toes to the ground for a few seconds is an awful thing to watch, and will naturally instigate feelings of pity and sympathy. However, watching the same man with his relentless endeavors to keep standing on his toes for more than 3 or 4 minutes is definitely an agonizing experience for the viewers. The persistence of the silent and still shot invades your comfort zone and forces you to identify with the man.

But being gruesome does not mean the film is not beautiful. Aesthetically speaking, 12 Years a Slave is a cinematographic feat. McQueen's visual trademarks are easily spotted (and admired). Each frame is a triumphant work of art; the placement of the camera, the colors, and the mise-en-scene are all done so carefully that I did not mind having those 'McQueeny' still shots all the time. Each frame is a beautiful painting with an elaborate statement.

Performance-wise, all actors excelled, even though some of them had really small roles. And of course, Ejiofor and Fassbender were phenomenal (surprise, surprise!). The only thing I could not understand is the presence of Brad Pitt in the film. His character is small but important in terms of plot line, but to have him pull this weird southern accent of his and talentlessly preach about slavery is completely annoying! I believe Pitt was used only for publicity; just another big name on the movie's poster.

I don't know why but whenever I write a review on any of McQueen's movies, I end up writing about McQueen himself and his idiosyncratic style (that's how good he is!). Maybe because it is not about what he presents but how he presents it. 12 Years a Slave is a slavery movie but not the usual slavery-is-bad-don't-do-it-again movies. It goes beyond the main theme and takes you by the hand to gruesome/fragile condition of the human soul.",8
"Boring drama with writing that lacks imagination. Characters are lifeless and are not developed in any meaningful way. Indeed, the abrupt change of actors in the middle of the season renders the entire series meaningless. Who is the princess's new paramour and why should we care about him or any of these new people who simply appear. And who cares about the children, they seem to have sprung from the earth with any character arc to draw in the watcher.

It is not entirely clear why this slice of history is even meaningful in the larger story being told. Nothing Happens. There is not struggle of good over evil, no new momentous ideas shaping civilization, no technologies that will affect the fate of man. Just a few boring and apparently stupid people going about their daily life stilted by fear, greed, and self doubt.

This whole thing should be cancelled. Or, call it ""General Hospital; The Beginning"". Don't waste your money - rewatch GOT or find something new and well written/produced.",1
"So,the new Harry Potter movie comes out, and as always, I am all decked to see this one. The book never interested me, I never got ahead of the first one.It appeared too childish, and with huge inspirations drawn from other authors(it doesn't even come close to awesomeness when compared to Tolkien's LOTR).

Though I may call the book a childish trash, the movies of the series always drew me towards it. It may part be Emma Watson, but the magic and its associated fantasies were amazing, with the beautifully crafted castles, dining rooms, classes, the Hogwarts Express, the characters and all that was the brain child of some ingenious creativity. The increasing darkness and suspense were also what kept me interested in the series. But all the good things that were there in the movie were absent from the 7th installment.

There a lot of things lacking in the movie, but the thing that is most absent is the magic. Where are all those spells, and those new tricks that always mesmerized the audience. It looked like a basketball movie without a basketball game in it. The few odd painstakingly dull and pathetic fight sequences weren't just good enough to meet the standards set by the movie's predecessors, namely the one between Potter and Vol De Mort in the 4th movie or the final fight sequence in the 5th. The movie was too slow, some of the sequences were painstakingly boring, and the acting sometimes looked pathetic.

Although I agree to the fact that the movie needed some emotional touch to it, and may have got so in this film, but at many a spots, it looks overdone. And where are all those important events in the book which the guys so thoughtlessly omitted. I never wondered why none of the Harry Potter movies featured in IMDb's top 250 list, but LOTR did, and the simple reason being, they were fun, they were good, and but they weren't simply good enough. But the seventh part of the installment is the worst of the lot.

Final verdict:This movie simply isn't worth the money. Think twice before going for it.",2
"I came in to watch this movie and had some expectations. But this movie is just a below average.

I was so much bored in between that eyes were closing. Special effects were looking all fake. Characters jumping, you could make out the ropes tied. The background was all bright colourful giving a fake effect nothing looks like feel of original. I don't know what special effects they have used.

Many times it looked like shooting has been done at home with normal camera. just could find 3-4 good scenes and nothing else. Same old boring romance, emotion which didn't add up. Acting wise i found the Tree and the animal only good. I really don't understand the high ratings of people. This is not even a time pass movie.

Lots of dragging story. One scene where space carft bursts in air but people will be safe and no scratches lol, lame. Would say watch and see yourself, not a good movie.",4
"I'm sorry, but I can't join the groundswell of praise for this film. I couldn't wait for it to be over. It was supposed to be a tender love story, but I never saw any real chemistry between the two lead characters. What this pretty young woman sees in this washed-up actor is beyond me. The dialogue never really establishes any chemistry between the two lead characters. As for the actors, I give it a split decision. Bill Murray gives a one-note performance as a bored middle-aged man. He reminds me of his character in the first half of ""Groundhog Day,"" without the growth we see later in the film. I had the feeling he was as bored as the character he portrays. Scarlet Johanssen, on the other hand, rises above her mediocre material. She gets visibly more attractive as the film progresses. I wonder why the director--a woman--seemed so obsessed with Charlotte's body. She spends a lot of time in her underwear. The opening scene--a prolonged view of her backside covered by nearly transparent panties--seems there for titillation only. (For that matter, why do the two of them meet in a strip joint? Just to show off some Japanese woman's physique?) Also, the film is condescending toward the Japanese. Do we want to tell the Japanese that this is how we view them? Granted, some of the satire is directed at the Americans. When the hospital clerk assumes that they speak Japanese, this seems to be a satiric comment on the way Americans assume that everyone speaks English if we speak slowly and loudly enough. But it seems we are intended to sympathize with the ""poor"" Americans instead of laughing at their ineptness at confronting a foreign culture.",3
"A stripped-down, more dogged entry in the ever-expanding crushing force that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Unwilling to rest on their laurels, Marvel with Captain America: The Winter Solider wisely swerves the increasingly flagging formulaic characteristics of the generic superhero blockbuster and explores more grown up, mature themes with its instilled political connotations of conspiracy, trusted intelligence agency infiltration and high-stakes espionage in a delectably self-assured way. The intimate close quarters, stealth driven combat scenes are akin to those of confident military actioners as opposed to Marvel's usual elaborate hulking action sequences; a refreshing deviation, although normal big-budget battling service is resumed in the latter parts of proceedings. Furthermore, new character introductions felt purposeful and detrimental to the plot and the antagonists served as believable threats not just role-fillers. Likewise, every twist was meaningful and intrinsically forced the audience to question the intentions and integrity of the characters we have come to know and invest in. With the past coming back to haunt Cap and his crew it really added weight to the ensuing events and now knowing history could come back to bite at anytime supplies food for thought to it's sister instalments still to come. Not knowing whom to trust, Capt. America felt like a real superhero in this movie, rather than just Steve Rogers, the superhuman that can run fast and jump high posing as the patriotic front of The Avengers.

Chris Evans reprising his role as the cryogenically preserved, genetically optimized and physically superior World War II veteran, Steve Rogers/Captain America, affords a much-improved performance from his previous outing in The Avengers where there was too much fish-out-of- water emphasis placed on the first Avengers escapades. Evans comes on leaps and bounds as Captain America, especially when his backs against a wall and when the proverbial fate of the innocent really does rest solely on his shoulders. His already established humanistic elements were joined by some welcomed larger-than-life superhero characteristics rendering him more viable and believable as a gallant heroic saviour rather than just an impressive mortal being; more Captain America than Steve Rogers, which was a noteworthy plus point. In addition, his scenes with the foreboding Winter Soldier played by a striking Sebastian Stan were some of shining high points of the movie. Also reprising her role and armed with considerable screen time, Scarlett Johansson as the expertly trained sultry S.H.I.E.L.D. spy Black Widow/Natasha Romanoff delivers a tantalizing performance with an air of vulnerability in her narrative bolstering Johansson's Black Widow portrayal. Samuel L. Jackson as the all-knowing S.H.I.E.L.D. director, Nick Fury is at his derisive best. Nonetheless, Robert Redford is responsible for the standout performance in The Winter Soldier. His shifty Alexander Pierce is marvellous, and Redford's skillful way of developing a consistent aura that he has an ulterior motive throughout the film is testament to him as an actor. Amongst other character renderings, the Introduction of ex-military paratrooper Sam Wilson/Falcon enacted by Anthony Mackie was fine, was not overplayed and the character fitted seamlessly into the plot.

The Winter Soldier is a markedly more sober and stark instalment when compared to its sister entries. Grounded on a solid premise, co-directors Anthony and Joe Russo take the niftily penned Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely script, and translate it onto the big screen as a strong, lean, grittily toned espionage action-thriller flick, chock-full of double-crosses together with political undertones and lofty ramifications worthy of interest. Apt character progression and expertly shot, mood-setting combat scenes served as the catalyst for success here. Also revealing the significance of past goings-on further validates the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole. Quite possibly the next best entry only to The Avengers itself, Captain America: The Winter Solider has loaded yet another genre front running bullet into the Marvel gun. They will persist to make boatloads of money despite themselves but when they can still find ways to continue to deliver fresh-feeling movies, nine instalments down the line, it only bodes well for the future of the franchise. Here's hoping Marvel continues to throw spanners in the works and vary the story arcs up from film to film as they have successfully done here with The Winter Solider.",9
"This movie is well made. The movie is shot well and has good pacing. The script is pretty good. The story is just a bit over done and melodramatic. I enjoyed seeing this story but it just didn't really leave me with any sort of feeling of excitement. I guess my expectations were a bit higher and the movie was just ok for me. Score was good and I think the kid actors did pretty well. I could feel their experiences they were going through in school and at home. I'm sure if I had the same experience in my life, this movie would have hit me harder. It just didn't make a very strong emotional connection with me. Not a bad film.. it just didn't do much unique or powerful.",5
"This film is one of a very few films I consider to be perfect. The movie is extremely funny with everyone at their best particularly Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen, but the film is also very sweet and the main duos friendships is one of my favorites since it is clearly a strong bond but still has its struggles without overdoing the drama. It also is the only film I have seen that truly understands the complexities of teenagers. All in all a truly amazing film.",10
"I regret that I allowed myself to be swept up by the Barbie hype.

I'm sure it will resonate with the ladies.

Gents, you can wait 'til it streams.

It's just not nearly as clever as I'd hoping it'd be. Yes, I was fully expecting a message, but not one that would be hammered onto our heads.

Zero subtlety and a deficiency of real wit.

There was a moment in the film that held promise, re: Ken and the subject of masculinity, but it was squandered.

This film is very fortunate for the Barbenheimer phenomenon, because I'm not sure word of mouth could have served it as well.

I love me a chick flick - just not this one.",6
"I feel like the ethical thing to do would be to give this movie 1 or 2 stars, to offset the undeservedly high rating it enjoys in IMDb. But I'll stick to 4.

I was happy to see that I wasn't a complete outlier in feeling so outraged by this movie's popularity that I felt the need to write a review.

Apart from Hugh Jackman's brilliant performance (and Jake's was pretty good too), and the fact of the movie's subject - exploring the utilitarian morality of whether torture is ever justified as a means to an end - there isn't really much else that's even remotely praiseworthy.

Most annoying to me was how inconsistent the characters were - Alex has the 'IQ of a 10-year old', but manages to drive around fine in his RV, lie to the police officers that he does not know the girls, and yet again, he is playful(and prepared) enough to mutter ""they didn't cry until I left"" when Keller suddenly confronts him! He endures days of torture for no apparent reason before talking about 'mazes'. He randomly strangles his dog while taking it for a walk, and his helplessness suddenly melts away when he attacks Nancy and Keller with a carefully selected shard of glass during his torture!

I was also led to believe that this was an Argo-like nail-biting movie. It isn't. I watched this at home and I managed to fast forward a few seconds every now and then because there was no action going on and the director did not even give us anything to chew on during those moments of inactivity.

The characters are also way too superficial for my liking. Gyllenhaal plays an insomniac work-obsessed good cop who is always going to scary places all by himself. But that's all we know about him - nothing else of who he is or why he does what he does.

And the last one may be because of my lack of a sufficient understanding of American life, but I simply don't get how so many weird f***s like Alex, his mom, and the snake guy manage to eke out a living to maintain a house and a car while pursuing their creepy 'hobbies'.

Lately I've noticed a slew of movies that for some odd reason enjoy an unusually high rating of 8+ on IMDb and then turn out to be complete trash...it's disappointing!",4
"Fargo is an ok movie, at best. There are several plot holes that are overlooked and stories that are unfinished when the movie ends. For example, a police officer can not go missing for eight plus hours and no one search for them, especially after they initiated a traffic stop. A supporting character ends up dead and a main character finds the body. What happens from there, we're left to assume. We also have to assume why the main character is in need of a lot of money. It's difficult to know exactly how much they need and they never come out and say why they need it, just that they need. It's hard to become invested in a character if you don't know their motivation.

There is no traditional protagonist/antagonistic story here so it's hard to ""get behind the good guy"" or have a vested interest in seeing someone succeed. Even when a main protagonist character is introduced one-third of the way through the film they are pretty much invincible and always right which makes them unrealistic and shallow.

The writing is not very good. Many lines are often repeated many, many times and sometimes by other characters. For example: 1-""you should eat breakfast."" 2-""I'm not hungry."" 1-you should eat breakfast. I'll make you eggs."" 2-""ok, I'll eat breakfast."" (Next scene) 2-""thanks for making eggs to eat."" 1-""thanks for eating breakfast."" (Next scene) 3-""did you eat breakfast?"" 2-""yes, I had eggs for breakfast."" Additionally, there are several scenes that do not lead to anything else or build on the plot. Why do we need to know that your battery is dead or that you're going to bed? We don't.

No issues with the cinematography and direction. I thought it was all good and a nice production. The accents were amusing but not annoying, but maybe that's because I'm used to hearing them.

Finally, I have no idea why this movie is called Fargo. It doesn't take place in Fargo and if they were ever in Fargo, I missed it.

If you've never seen it, give it a try so you can at least say you did. However don't be fooled by the high rating.",4
"With all the movies I have seen that Marvel has produced, this show has a heart that fits so well with the MCU. now that the series has wrapped, I can safely say I cried at its end the same way that I have cried in just about every other Marvel movie or show I have watched. Be it crying out with a victorious ""YES!"" or crying over the compassion of the characters themselves, this is a show that Marvel has done well and held true to the very end.",10

"Dunkirk should be the first & most boring film directed by Christopher Nolan.

Went in with huge expectations for this film. But it was a total let down. This movie is Intense from start to finish, but all that intensity is misfired, and an average moviegoer would feel this movie is a total bore fest. Dunkirk is an experience, not entertainment, and one would expect a war movie to be intense and entertaining, which Dunkirk isn't.

Dunkirk should be the Highest rated Worst War movie ever.",6
"This started out strong. The opening scene at the college is quickly engrossing and hilarious. Monk (Jeffrey Wright) then has to leave and we meet his sister, who is charming and funny. Meanwhile, encountering the writer of an extremely popular (but in Monk's mind, dumb and stereotypical) book sets us up for what's to come. Family tragedy and financial need then push Monk to do something crazy.

And that's where it goes off the rails. Somewhere between meeting a pretty neighbor and having a second date with her, Monk writes a novel. Not a treatment for a novel, not an outline - an entire novel. Sure, one that's supposed to be dumb and stereotypical like the super popular book he resents, but no one writes an entire novel in a couple of days. Not one they then send to their agent who also, in a day or two, manages to sell.

It was hard to accept anything that came after this, which only got sillier and less plausible anyway. Even in a comedy, there has to be some verisimilitude. ""American Fiction"" may have something important to say, it may have funny moments, but it becomes farce starting with such an utterly unrealistic premise and getting further absurd from there.

Why not have him start the book when he first encounters the popular writer? Why not have him send his agent the first few chapters of a work in progress? The double message here about stupid stuff being the most popular and white people using black stereotypes to assuage their guilt could have really meant something with just a little more of a credible premise.

Great scene between Wright and Issa Rae though.

Great cast and really good acting, shame about the story. I really couldn't bear to watch anymore than I did.",2
"While ""WandaVision"" had a pretty okay episode 1 and 2, episode 3 onwards gave us everything we could ask for (except for a longer running time), a fantastic series with terrific acting, nearly perfect storytelling a great twist and another great Marvel villain. This series, on its own, is a promising start to Disney+'s Marvel tv series",9
"This is almost worse than ""The Last Jedi"" for completely vapid writing. Who approves this crap? Dues Ex Machina is every where. I don't think there is one scene that isn't moved forward by the ""hands of the gods."" Teletubbies had more substance than this utter trainwreck. Every character who deals with ""Dr. Smith"" instantly becomes an idiot; easily manipulated. One can only believe that the powers that be on Earth picked the dumbest people on the planet to send them off into space to remove their genes from our species.

I feel badly for every actor in this show. People confusing ""bad acting"" with ""garbage writing."" It's actually painful how moronic every character is. Skip it. Go watch paint dry. It's a far more productive use of your valuable time.

What a waste.",3
"This is an amazing spin off of the original Addams Family. The visuals are amazing and it is one of the best Netflix shows. Jenna Ortega and Emma Meyers do an amazing job and made the show vivid and are one with their characters.

The script is a bit off somehow - it feels like it's a forced on the main characters. Side plots are not getting anywhere, and the characters have to act a certain way that is more focused on the story rather than their own motives.

I am also not entirely sold on the characters and portrayal of Morticia and Gomez - it is different than the original movies and story. There is no chemistry, and the characters' looks are off (based on the original description).

Nevertheless, if you don't compare and watch it as a show on it's own, it is a very good. I laughed, I broke down, it is overall a very entertaining series.",8
"DISCLAIMER: If you suffer from any form of anxiety, panic attacks or PTSD, then take caution when watching this film.

I feel a bit shell-shocked after watching this, so if one of Nolan's aims was to ensure the audience felt like a shell-shocked soldier then he was successful.

The Hans Zimmer score was so intense, so anxiety-inducing, that at times I found it incredibly distracting. It felt like probably the most developed ""character"" in the whole film. Because character development was mostly thrown out the door in 'Dunkirk'. The opening scenes gave me more anxiety than the opening of Saving Private Ryan - and this was achieved without any gore.

The film depicts events from three different perspectives. Personally, I wish the film had focused mainly on the everyday fishing boats off to rescue the lads - Mark Rylance's performance was the best and I felt really invested in his boat's story.

I love Spitfires and the fighter aces of WWII. They're one of my favourite topics to read about and explore. I found the dog fight aerial scenes underwhelming in 'Dunkirk' though. I actually found them somewhat unrealistic, where I had actually anticipated them to be the most authentic depictions in film yet. If you want to see a better example of this; check out 'Battle of Britain'.

Why go to so much effort in creating authenticity in a war film, only to just throw it away at times? Some scenes felt contrived. Events weren't always chronological which made it feel disjointed. Emphasis was put on 400,000 soldiers needing to be evacuated from the beaches of Dunkirk. Yet, here I was watching 3 blokes sitting around on the most deserted stretch of beach I've ever seen.

In a film with limited dialogue, it actually managed to include ""filler"" dialogue. The Kenneth Branagh scenes in particular came across as if Nolan was trying to educate an assumed dumb American audience on this part of the war.

I felt more invested in the film right towards the end. Perhaps by then, I'd got accustomed to the jarring Hans Zimmer score, or maybe it was the three perspectives coming together that made the film feel more 'whole'. In a film that was my most anticipated of the year, I'm left feeling a little disappointed and underwhelmed - it was an alright movie but could've been so much more.",5
"All of it is the same generic cliche crap every single time, I haven't watched a movie in 5 months this year and I haven't watched a new show in idk how long cause season 3 is a perfect explanation of what's wrong with tv/movies and I'm glad everyone else agrees that season 3 is horrible.",1
"Steins Gate is an animated series that was released in 2011 and is one of the most popular animations. Is it fast food like Naruto, One Piece, and Attack on Titan?

In fact, no, and no matter how underrated it is, it is likely due to some of the boredom it contains.

Let's review together and evaluate with all impartiality and realism.

Negative points

1 beginning (first six episodes), no purpose. 2 Lots of boredom, long conversations, and boring side issues fill the entire series 3 Many of the female characters and their relationship with the hero disgusting and embarrassing, which is the classification (harem) 4 Interact with the world and society

Positive points

1 The main issue and trying to solve it is the excitement metal of this series

2 The finish is beautiful and excellent

3 Imagination and realism make the story valid",6
"Yes, we have a socially relevant film, perhaps with topics already touched on in other works, but we must recognize that it was necessary to do it from the perspective, the seal and the criticism of and towards the figure of Barbie. The subjects touched on are explicitly verbalized in the film, it doesn't allow for such a deep analysis without being redundant with the message delivered.

If we get into the technical fibers of the film, the script and the performance of Ryan Gosling is the highlight of the film. Unlike my fellow critics and cinephiles, I don't think Margot Robbie gave an awards-worthy performance. It's a good performance that meets the range that the script demands, but it's not particularly outstanding, as it was, for example, in Babylon.

The direction work is conformist and the editing has a couple of visible errors. I'm not a fan of musicals, so in the end I ended up a little bored.

Relevant film, to see once and look for something else.",7
"There are lots of great movies out there. This is just not one of them. Why? Because it's predictable to a degree that I have seldom experienced. All major events can be predicted way ahead of them happening, which makes watching this movie into nothing but a waiting game. It's not deep and it's definitely not clever.

If the director should ever reveal that he made this movie as an experiment to explore how hollow of a movie you can get away with and still have the world hyped, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.",6
"Up front...didn't play the video games, nor read the books. That said, I went to watch the Witcher after recommendations from YouTubers and...I've been a fan of Henry Carvill since he was on HBOs The Tudors. Went to watch one episode, and 8 hours later finished the season. Production for a Netflix production was top notch. Costuming and sets awesome, and fight scenes gritty and realistic. Yeah, some work can be done to the CGI, but let's hope they get a budget boost due to positive season 1 reviews.",9
"since i have heard so much about it, i expected more and got much less. i have no idea what the big fuss was about!! i expected a Sound of Music kind of movie and was disappointed in return. it has no great music, no great costumes , no great scenery and the dancing was not even up to par ....lacking in all elements of a good musical movie. the 5 hence was for the acting only.",5
"First off I'm not reviewing this as a DC or Marvel fan so it's a bit more impartial than most of the reviews I've seen from the fanboys (DC love it Marvel hate it). It's an ok superhero movie but it takes quite a lot of liberties with actual history and expects the viewer to be ok with it. Get over that, suspend your disbelief and then it's just an over the top CGI fest. Still it's hands down better than BVSdoj and the first justice league which I'm very disappointed about.",4
"DON'T WATCH IT I'm a teenager and when I watched this serie I literally was depressed. It's too realistic! The things that happened to Hannah happen to many teenagers and the fact that the serie doesn't have an happy ending could make a troubled teenager think that maybe suicide is the right choice. It deals with pretty serious issues in a totally indelicate way. Problems like this need to be faced in a different way, not with negativity and agony like this serie does. I watched the whole thing just because I wanted to see how it ended and I remember being so sad in that period",1
"Considering how much I liked the first film, I was expecting to like this one just as much. However, this was a tad disappointing. I loved the new additions to the story like Nick Fury and Natasha Romanoff, who both had pivotal roles to play in the movie, although they could have been given more screen-time. Sam Rockwell was good in his role as antagonist to Tony Stark, and Mickey Rourke played the creepy villain in this film. I loved Robert Downey Jr., and he shares amazing chemistry with Gwyneth Paltrow in this one. One issue I had with the film was that too many things were happening. The structure of the screenplay could have been kept simple. Could have been better but I enjoyed it nevertheless. A good enough sequel.",6
All was fun till Cap start preaching . And Disney show shame in showing that it were non-American. Thanks for creating and promoting biases Disney !! Rat has grown up !,2
"I have already pretty much blanked this movie out of my mind. I do remember a little bit of it still, before I walked out. I've never done that before, by the way, and I like many different types of movies. What I do remember is that I couldn't really care less whether Kate Winslett's and Jim Carey's characters stayed with each other or not. I don't really recall any big love forming between them before the first time she went to have him erased from her memory. I didn't find the ""memory-erasing"" idea fascinating at all. I went with another person, and we both hated it, but we have decided that since so many people seem to like it, we will probably check it out when it is available for rental and try to make it through to the end. Maybe something happened after that awful first hour that will make us change our minds. Somehow, I don't think so, but I usually love Jim Carey's movies, so I will try to keep an open mind.",2
"Venom ""let there be carnage"", It's the second installment of ""Venom"", however it feels like the absolute same thing as the first movie, Tom Hardy's performance leaves much to be desired and venom always cracking jokes and being funny gives me a Marvel wannabe syndrome impression that Sony should get rid.",1
"I honestly did not expect this series to blow up so much. From the trailer, I thought it was going to be an ordinary series that won't be that special but I'm so happy I was proven wrong.

The Queen's Gambit follows Beth Harmon, an orphan who learns and masters the game of chess during the 1960s but she slowly spirals into drug addiction and excessive drinking that harms her talent.

I've never been a fan of chess or even understood how to play it but regardless of my lack of interest in the game, I really enjoyed watching The Queen's Gambit. I loved how much the show revolved around the game itself. There weren't many subplots that hindered the pacing or made me lose interest which I felt was a great decision as it focused on what was necessary for the story and character. I'm amazed at what creator and director Scott Frank pulled off with this series. The writing was really good as I got a clear understanding of what Beth Harmon was like and made me root for her every step of the way. The side characters were also well developed and explored just enough to the point where we see what kind of people they are. The addiction aspect of Beth was handled in a subdued manner which I appreciated. The show could have taken a more over-the-top approach but Frank keeps everything realistic allowing it to feel more believable. The episodes are edited superbly. The series moves relatively quick and made me want to play the next episode as soon as the previous one ended.

All the acting in the show is fantastic. I've followed Anya Taylor-Joy ever since her debut in The Witch and I'm so happy she's gaining more recognition. She is absolutely amazing as Beth Harmon and is easily one of her best performances of her career. She truly embodies this character and conveys all her feelings brilliantly. The supporting cast such as Marielle Heller, Harry Melling, Bill Camp, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Moses Ingram and the rest all do a fabulous job with their roles.

I'm really surprised by how much I enjoyed The Queen's Gambit. I do admit the story is predictable and it's told in a way we've seen multiple times but I cannot deny how well made and acted it is. I'm more interested in chess now than I ever will be and I have The Queen's Gambit to thank for that.",8
"If i wanted to sum up every thing i adore in this movie i will not end until Mr.Bahl does his next film which i believe will be marvelous as this one. As you know there's a lot of things that makes the movie a good one in other words a big hit like how good was the acting and how the shooting was and all this details but what matters the most in my opinion is the idea of the movie itself, i think the idea is the thing that makes the movie a really good movie, So that's why i can say that this movie is an extraordinary movie because i loved the idea so much. The idea is about a girl who was shy, afraid,controlled,satisfied with her little world. And shockingly she got betrayed from her fiancée who canceled their weeding. But with the help of strangers from totally another countries who became her new friends in addition from the help of her free self in other words without being protected all the time from the close ones,she changed to a whole new other person who is independent, strong, open-minded and courage women, because in my opinion she finally knew that she doesn't need anyone to feel happy and not being protected caused her a new experiences and new lovely people... a whole new life, also she finally tried new things. So i can sum up all this by saying she explored the world within herself.

So if anyone ever ask someone which character in a any film would you be? I know that most of the girls would pick the beautiful character with the perfect body and the perfect boyfriend but if they ask me i would pick queen(Rani) because i want to be the girl she turned out to be: a beautiful, confident, open minded, courage girl satisfied with own self.

Thanks again Vikas Bahl.

"This is truly an incredible film, tons of action, romance, rivalries, and the problems of everyday life in New york City.

Spider-man 2 captures the feel of spider-man perfectly, this is how super heroes would actually live their lives, it's never easy.

All Characters go all out in this one, Peter, MJ, Harry, Doc ock,even Jameson is great, if you liked the first, then this is a must see.

If you don't own this one, just go get Spider-man 2.1, it has all that great extra stuff and gives you a preview of spider-man 3.

Best Spidey film ever.

I just have one question, can Spidey 3 top it??",10
"I know this film is criticized for being overlong, but there is not a moment where you will get bored. Based on the real life story of an awesome athlete ""The Flying Sikh"" Milkha Singh, the story solely revolves around the hardships and horrors of his life. The whole film in a sense, is perfect.

Director: Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra Now, i don't think i have to tell you about his past achievements. After delivering one of the greatest blockbuster of bollywood ""Rang De Basanti"", Mehra is back with a bang!!!!! Direction is superb with almost no loopholes left to be noticed.

Scriptwriter: Prasoon Joshi This National Awardee (Taare Zameen Par) needs no introduction. Script of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag has been beautifully transcribed and and more beautifully presented on the silver screen.

Actor: Farhan Akhtar yes, this is solely a Farhan Akhtar movie. This multi talented person has put his heart and sole in the movie. His talent can only be judged by his dedication. Farhan Akhtar's talent has been put to justice. And Pavan Malhotra's role as Coach Gurudev Singh also fits.

All in all, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is a must watch for all movie lovers, sports lovers and Indian History lovers!!!!!",10
"Although it was broken, it was still moved by the subtleties between men and women depicted in the film.",9
"Bullock plays herself in space as some computer tech repairing some satellite on a space shuttle. Mission commander is Clooney playing himself as well. They get a notice from mission command on earth that a satellite has blown up sending debris their way and that all satellites are being hit and eventually they'll lose communication. Clooney orders Bullock to finish up, but she thinks she knows better and keeps tinkering with a computer board. And indeed they end up hit with debris. Bullock ends up tumbling out of control detached from the arm that was holding her to the shuttle. As she goes flying out of control she loses communication with everyone.

When all hope seems lost. Clooney appears and grabs her. With his jet pack they go back to the shuttle and discover it's destroyed and some other guy part of the mission is dead. They make their way to the nearby international space station that has a released parachute with hundreds of belts entangled. Clooney realizes that for them to make it, he will have to let go.

Bullock arrives at the station, but there's a fire in one of the sections which quickly expands everywhere else. She escapes in a pod to the nearby Chinese space station. There she has one more chance to escape in a pod to earth. But as earlier as well, oxygen becomes an issue, plus she isn't exactly at flying these craft.

Gravity is a pretty looking movie. And how could it be otherwise. These days the least you can do with a space movie is show cool sights. A bit of annoyance is the constantly rotating and floating camera.

The story itself is surprisingly simple and empty. Our main character finds herself in an emergency and everything that could go wrong does go wrong and then some. The writers aren't a bit shy about exaggerating things and/or forgetting about realism when it suits them. Twice in the movie, oxygen becomes a problem, but it's also quickly forgotten when it's not convenient to the filmmakers.

Performances are very weak. You can accept Bullock in a many roles--an astronaut computer expert isn't one of them. Same with Clooney. At the same time, Bullock (and Clooney for that matter) is likable enough that you can watch her scream and groan through this movie.

Gravity looks good and Bullock makes a rather slim story watchable. But Gravity is a neither a great nor good movie and certainly not an worthy award winner.",4
"Tense, bleak, and nasty, this was a film in which I saw much to admire but ultimately found disappointing and even lazy when I saw it on its initial release. Denis Villeneuve went on to Sicario and other excellent films; revisiting this now, I hoped to see what I'd missed the first time, hoping it cohered more than I remembered and that I could be more in line with the prevailing good opinion of the film.

Much of those things to admire remain, especially Roger Deakins's predictably brilliant cinematography. Shot by a lesser talent, it's probable that the film's atmosphere would be considerably less brooding and uncomfortable. My problem with the central criminal's motivation remains - without descending to spoilers, such situations send at least as many in the opposite direction as they do in the general direction that the villain has gone.

Hugh Jackman's performance doesn't work (it's far from subtle); Gyllenhaal is better, but his tics seem a little corny. There's little to counteract the problem of Sicario, that the central female character is underwritten; here the wives are adjuncts and those who wait for their men to do what men will do. None of this makes the film less atmospheric or detracts from the artistry; it's just that for me it's not quite the film it wants to be or that Sicario and his other later films would turn out to be.",6
"After reading all the reviews and all the hype, I decided to go watch this movie and to be honest I don't know why this movie was hyped up and why it got such good reviews....

Besides the special effects, I found this movie an average flick. Storyline was average and very predictable. There was nothing special in the acting side of the movie. The movie dragged for the first half an hour to an hour...

If you haven't watched it yet and you are looking for something more than special effects, I recommend you should just wait for the DVD to come out instead of going to the movies...",6
"I have been waiting for this to release for so long and I finally got to watch it today. I absolutely loved it! It was fun, it had Margot Robbie (and extra stuff for Tarantino's out there if you know what I mean) And it had some absolute bangers! What more could you want from a new summer classic?

Honestly the depth of the story ain't there but what do you expect from a film about a Barbie? Lol I'll probably go back and watch it again tbh and I'll probably purchase it once it releases on blu ray as I did rather enjoy it (seriously my mouth hurts from smiling and laughing) there are some touching moments where Robbie really shines I just wish there were a little more because as everyone I absolutely adore Margot and her films.

Anyway Barbie is a blast. It's a definite recommend on my list.",9
"No critical thinking on behalf of the characters, they are all quite one dimensional. There is no moral grey zone depicted - killing begets more killing and apparently that's all okay - shows the darkest inclination of our humanness. Plenty of action and quite bloody - good if that is what you're after.",2
"Pretty boring and the Hulk guy cant really act, everyone looks same age to the end of the movie",2
"Felt so gr8 to see that Farhan Akhtar's hardwork has paid off & that to in a flabbergasted way..Coming 2Rakesh Omprakash Mehra..Bravo!!..the direction will totally blow you away.. now my favourite bollywood director I guess..each & every scene was crafted & in this case directed to perfection..Plenty of times you feel like Cheerin up the champ by getting up 4m ur seat & shout BHAAG MILKHA BHAAG(RUN MILKHA RUN)..I am glad to have witnessed Indian cinema reach such withering heights in terms of Acting..Direction..& every possible way to produce cult classic movies for us movie lovers..There is no way a person with a sense of sensibility & mature viewing can not love this epic presentation..A MASTERPIECE BIOPIC which is entertaining & touching at the same time..it is really rare that thinking about the movie after hours of watching it can still give you Goosebumps… P.S.- 3 things u will definitely notice…Farhan's Perfection as d Flying Singh,,,,Rakesh Omprakash Mehra's top notch Direction,..,& Divya dutta's Acting as a great supporting role!

Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Daniel Bruhl, Wyatt Russell & Carl Lumbly
Bucky's dealing with his past

"I don't understand the conformity when it comes to certain tv shows. Just because some people think it's a great show does not mean it is. People need to think for themselves. This show is just ok in my opinion. The acting is subpar, but the CGI is pretty good.",6
"I felt like walking out of the cinemas at a few points in the movie.

Don't get me wrong I like Nolan's previous films (even though Inception took a second viewing to actually appreciate it), but this doesn't come close.

First of all, I like science fiction. I understand to develop new fresh plots that viewers haven't come across before, sometimes you need to push that concept envelop. However this film wasn't about science fiction, it was just 'fiction'. It had the vibe of another space film called 'contact' about 10 years ago which I thought sucked. Way too slow paced while trying to mix humanity morale on top of science.

I am not going to go to the details but basically this movie suggests with the power of love, man can achieve great things - teleportation/time travel/telepathy/gravity manipulation...it goes on.

The movie gets 3 stars for visuals/sound/acting. Everything else is bad. Don't go to the cinemas, save your 3 hrs and money.",3
"Nothing to watch here. A young boy is involved in an accident, gets super powers and beats up bad people.

The story is filled is clichés, the writing is terrible, there is no storyline or anything. People appear at I am not even sure why some of the characters exist. The only thing that interested me was that while all super heroes wear their mask in such a way that their eyes are exposed, daredevil wears his mask the other way around, exposing his chin but that novelty wears off quite quickly and then there is nothing else of interest in the series.

The people rating it highly are either fake accounts or daredevil fans. This series is made for a 12 year old although the violence is not age appropriate. If adults are actually viewing this series and liking this, I despair at mankind. No wonder the top 1% are getting richer!",1
Absolutely Great. Good cinematography and great story line. I absolutely love how the two movies run along with each other,10
"In theory, Pirates Of The Caribbean really could have been a good film. What with Johnny Depp playing the campest pirate ever and a young couple at the centre of it who just want to get together were it for those damn undead pirates and the woman's fiancée. Such inspired ideas however admirable can not salvage this film. Under the hand of director Gore Verbinski, Pirates Of The Caribbean dispenses with character development, comic timing and structure in favour of constant frantic movement and an eagerness make sure that something is exploding, somebody is falling down a trap or Johnny Depp is eliciting a wisecrack every two seconds. Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom are hopelessly bland when they should be appealing while the visuals suggest a much cheaper film than its $115 million budget would have you believe. Some critics have noted that Pirates would have benefit from a 45 minute truncation of its running but even in its first quarter of an hour, I found myself getting bored. The script is also weak, with Saturday morning cartoon show level humour and not one inspired moment. The only notable thing about this film is the clever CGI used on the undead pirates and the lenience (and some might say praise) with which critics have graced it.

Do yourself a favour and see Disney's Peter Pan instead, it's a funnier, more technically groundbreaking, more artistically credible and infinitely more entertaining pirate film than this two and a half hour bore. It'll probably keep your kids more entertained too, not to mention it being more suitable for them.",4
"Not going to pretend I know anything about Venom from comics. I am fairly confident in saying that Venom is supposed to be a bad guy. This movie makes him out to be a hero, sorta. I also didn't find the comedy moments all that funny. It felt like they were trying too hard. I like Hardy, but I can't see him as Venom. Worth watching the one time...not going to be bothered watching again.",5
"The robot and the boy are the best bit in this ,but are sadly not given the right script or time to gel, the story is thin and as seems to be the way in this pc world we live in ,we have to put up with annoying characters who can do anything apart from existing in reality and as watchers we are willing them to get killed off, good effects and watchable , i hope they do a second series and concentrate on the robot and boy",6
Boring Story & Boring Artists Everyone is Doing Overacting.,1
"The show is good but it's getting worse every season. Season 1 was 10/10, season 2 was 9/10 and season 3 which is the worst, I would rate it 7/10. Overall, the shows is good and I hope that season 4 will get better.",9
"After the initial ratings came out on this movie, I decided that it would be a solid choice for a good night out with friends for laughs. I generally trusted the ratings on this site, so we got together a couple of weeks ago and watched in eager anticipation.

Oh, how I was wrong.

I won't reiterate all the points against this movie so well stated in previous reviews. It's sufficient to say that never have I felt so ripped off after viewing a movie than this. NEVER. I still cringe that I wasted 2 hours of my life watching this movie.

I mean, come on, how can this get anything higher than a 4? Do we have that many Neanderthals living in the world, to be amused at such mindless, uninspired humor? I fell asleep about 3 times.

I gave this movie a 2 instead of a 1 because there were a handful of genuinely funny moments, but these were far overshadowed by the absence of any passable plot. Just mind-numbing, B-rated acting and story development.

My respect for the IMDb ratings just went into the gutter.",2
Guys! this show is the bomb! Definitely a must-see. Very addictive Netflix series. Very suspenseful and will have you on the edge of your SEAT! Check it,9
The story seems good so far and I'm 4 episodes in. The thing that puts me off watching anymore is the lead character. I find her extremely irritating to listen too and frustrating to watch. I like the actress but the character is not for me at all.,7
It's nice from cinematography and production but i think the script need something to be a good ending.,5
"Tuned in with excitement. But was underwhelmed. Pascal has one mood, solemn. It gets boring. I didn't realize he had a connection to Tess for a long time. And The Walking Dead has throughly explored how humanity devolves at an apocalypse. Nothing new here. Will continue to watch, but not sure expecting a lot in theme development. I am not familiar with the video game. The creatures are interesting, but again, TWD has gone way beyond what Last of Us has shown. I'm thinking that Zombie movies/series have reached their apex and are on decline. Find the original Night of the Living Dead and you will see we have reached the end of an era.",3
"I'm literally writing this 30 minutes after I walked out of my local cinema, and I'm still shocked.

After Dawn of Justice was... less than well received, it gave Marvel an amazing chance to leap even further ahead of DC in the ""superhero war"" and boy did they take that chance.

I'm gonna jump straight in with a bold statement. Captain America: Civil War is in the Top 3 Superhero Movies of all time. Probably the best from the MCU, and given the likes of Winter Soldier and Guardians, that's quite a feat.

So what was so great about it? The plot was extremely well structured, which should be a given but after the mess that was Dawn of Justice, it's refreshing to see such a well tied together story in a major superhero movie.

The characters are all amazing, and there's a few surprises along the way too. As expected, Spider-Man hit it out of the park, as did Black Panther, but the star of the show (in my opinion, anyways) was Falcon. Every line he said was absolute gold, the stunts from him were all amazing, and while he was less than spectacular in Ant-Man, Age of Ultron and Winter Soldier, we're finally starting to see some great potential in a minor superhero, and if Steve Rogers is killed off in Infinity War, I can think of no-one better to carry on his legacy. Also, honourable mentions to Bucky Barnes, Hawkeye and Ant-Man, for also putting on a great show.

Any negatives? The editing seemed a tad sloppy in places and in action scenes the camera shook a lot, but why even bother caring about minor details like that, when the movie all-around is exceptional.

I can't see anything beating Civil War for film of the year in 2016, though I hope I'm wrong because I have high hopes for Suicide Squad.

The future of Marvel movies looks to be in good hands!",9
"I want to like this movie because I want more Harry Potter universe movies. However, I can't and it is not because of expectations or anything, I didn't have any, but it is because they messed it up really badly.

The movie starts off showing headlines, newspaper articles showing about a mysterious and bad man who is never again mentioned in the movie. At the end of the movie a random person suddenly goes: POOF! ""Hello! I was actually that villain you read about in the beginning of this movie. Remember? Since it stated he was a bad guy, we can end the movie when I lose."" Weird isn't it? You'd assume J.K. Rowling knew how to structure stories but this is some 3rd grade writing right there.

Nevertheless, the movie kicks off by following the character 'Newt' who accidentally unleash magical creatures over the city of New York. This was a rather bad idea of him as Newt should know that if you enter the city of New York in movie... Well... It will be destroyed. Anything that Newt does in this movie doesn't really matter because, despite the title, magical creatures have nothing to do with the movie. The subplot is suddenly what takes over just so they can destroy New York city.

The adventure and joy of Harry Potter and magic was good there for a good portion of the movie but got a massive beat down when the creators realized the credits were suddenly approaching. If you would cut out the last 1/3 of the movie, I'd given it 7/10. I would probably thought it was a surprising abrupt ending. Now though... I never want to see that low level of story telling ever again.

"I think it's safe to say that this film isn't a subtle and brilliant piece. The acting was often sub-par, with some questionable German accents in there. The themes and perspectives were highly simplistic and over-explained. On top of all this, there were parts that felt dull and unnecessary, and a few moments of pure cringe. The dragging out of the beginning and end, limiting the film's effect, is a perfect example of this. However, despite it's obvious flaws, Jojo Rabbit provided a fresh and clever critique of the flawed ideologies that underpinned Nazi Germany. It was charming, fun, and a movie that I really enjoyed.",7
"If you played the game, you know what you're getting into. Stays mostly true to the source material and adds some new story beats without turning the narrative into a totally different direction.

Pedro Pascal takes the reins as Joel, and Bella Ramsey as Ellie. For me, one of the most important factors going in was that the show cast had the blessing of the original talent from the game. This is a story about these two characters, and the directors do a fantastic job of always crossing back to Joel and Ellie, even after making a detour from their story into the lives of other characters. All in all, one of the rare few game to screen adaptations that not only follow the source material, but do the original story justice.",8
Crosses the line for the sake of shock value and unfortunately to the detriment of the narrative and intelligence of it's character's. Not a single character is relatable; everyone of them is spiteful and stupid. It's some drastic skewed vision of what Aussie teenagers are like (Aussies do actually have empathy like every other human being believe it or not). The biggest failure is not communicating why these teens love getting possessed. It's very hard to continue along with a POV that's unfeasible. The fact that all the characters brush past the horror elements devalues the horror. This movie is just a bunch of random gut wrenching scenarios stitched together with crude comedy and illogical characters. Would've worked better as a youtube video.,1
"When this film was announced, I was very excited. I had just seen Knives Out, which I adored. Therefore, I watched Glass Onion right when it arrived on Netflix. ""My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined."" This famous quote was almost entirely accurate. A Messy plot, a horrible third act, a lack of likable characters, some terrible acting by Kate Hudson and Kathryn Hahn. These bad aspects of the film where somehow almost compensated by some fun sets, good protagonists and exciting twists. But not quite. Overall, Glass Onion was a big disappointment, especially when compared to Knives Out.",5
"Some stories shouldn't be told because they aren't worth telling. The story of Jordan Belfort is one of an asshole being an asshole. And he gets away with it.

While watching the movie I didn't really know what to expect. There's a plot, there's good acting, it's all very well done and very graphic. There's penises, boobs, drugs, everything you'd come to expect when it comes to lavish businessmen.

In the end it's a story I kind of enjoyed following but it also left me feeling empty and angry. Angry at this guy getting away with it and getting a biopic essentially.

So I'll give it the middle of the road; a 5. It is well done, but in the end it the film didn't give me anything I'd miss, or any insights or anything else valuable.",5

"Hanks, Alda, Spielberg, the Coen brothers. What can go wrong? Apparently, quite a lot.

Strengths first: the meticulous recreation of the 60's across two countries is breathtaking. The streets look 60's, the people look and talk 60's, the atmosphere is 60's. It's immersing and awe-inspiring.

Now the weaknesses: 1) Lots and lots of exposition. I understand that the millenials are expected to not know the history from 50 years ago, but come on - if someone doesn't know/love history they aren't going to see this movie in the first place. Stop wasting our time with exposition. 2) Poor acting. This must be the weakest performance from Tom Hanks I've seen in years. The guy is sleep-walking through the role, and everyone else is wooden and not worth mentioning, except for Alan Alda who steals every scene he's in. Amy Ryan is just awful I'm sorry to say. 3) Too long. Way too long. Should've ended with the exchange taking place. We don't need the ""happy end"" through vindication - it's completely implausible too. 4) Not focused. The pilot's story is completely surplus to requirements and insignificant - it doesn't add anything to the narrative. We don't really need to see the pilot until his first scene in captivity. Instead, the time should be spent on character development of which there is absolutely none. 5) Predictable. Yes, the story is well known and we all know how it ends, but this means that the unpredictability needs to be in the nuances. The little things that aren't part of the written history. But everything is predictable, nothing is captivating. 6) The treatment of the story. The script is by the Coen brothers but it has John Le Carre written all over it. It's a classic Le Carre-like spy thriller (thriller, not action). There have been fantastic film adaptations of Le Carre, so we know it can be done. Sadly, on this occasion Spielberg fails to deliver.

"In contrast to other reviewers, I am quite disappointed of this film. It is a rather weak comedy aimed at a British/American audience with limited knowledge of Central Eastern Europe's cultures and languages - and its bare content may therefore appear exotic and hilarious. The whole actually resembles Swedish comedy movies from the 80s, but with modern aesthetics.

The weakest link is the script and especially the dialog. The film starts of in an extreme tempo, as fashionable nowadays, probably not to risk boring any potential young and inexperienced viewers, maybe to appear smart and fresh - with the consequence of the audience losing half of what is going on. The extraordinarily many famous actors do not reach anywhere to potential - instead it seems like squeezing in as many stars as possible in roles that do not offer full scope for their talent.

The second character, Zero Moustafa, as young played by an Indian-looking (apparently Latino) actor, as old by a white Caucasian (why?), may ring fresh with current political news for a British/American audience as he is a refugee who has had to leave his home country due to war - and due to this fact the constant nonsense-speaking Gustave excuses himself for a ""racist"" remark. And then they run around lightly clad in the snow together for much of the rest of the movie.

For me, not finding anything funny, the only joy is the great cinematography, the photo and the music. The whole show is certainly wrapped in luxury paper - it feels like a waste with such weak content. But dollar-wise it might still be a success",4
"This movie had no plot and was like watching the ""DVD"" logo bounce around and it never hits the corner. It was like watching a stepsister pornography film but without any sex and just the brother watching football. Terrible film! I'd rather watch Mia Khalifa at a hockey game, just sitting there, watching the game. Even the soundtrack was terrible and there wasn't any emotion in the film, just screaming. It's like watching someone fix a broken box. Typical terrible film, even the quality of the movie, graphics wise was bad.",2
"This movie isn't about the plot. Just accept that fact and enjoy the action because as far as action and fighting scenes go, this movie is badass.",5
"This movie had some fun elements. The concept of ""Talented band of misfits chomps villains"" is classic fun and always a crowd-pleaser if done well. Unfortunately, this movie is not done especially well. The plot isn't cohesive. There's scene. Scene. Another scene. They don't necessarily fit together. It suffers from too many trite, sarcastic lines. Less would have been more.

The best comedians opine once they've made intelligent observation, whether they're your CupO'T or not. Disrespectful snark has its place, especially against condescending snobbery, but it only improves the presentation if used sparingly, like truffle oil 🍛. At this point, however, that trope is now tiresome. So played out, yo. If one pauses to reflect on Hollywood's penchant for toileted up junior-highish, *Dumbed-Down* content, it isn't funny at all. 🚽🍷‼

⚠ rant 🔛 optional reading ➡

Talk about this crisis, and that crisis: We're in a crisis of disrespect. How many of our crisies would be ameliorated if people started to be decently respectful? Btw, it's easy with friends. The challenge is to disrespectfully disagree with all shades of other human beings. If you feel compelled to sling personal insults and mock others, your are simply a toddler. Hollywood has encouraged a contemptuous and babyish culture that blindly believes everything they FEEL is more important than facts. By this time, y'all are too much like country-clubified, pearl-clutching old bitties.

At the same time, all media (I'm now bringing video games into the woodshed) has encouraged these toddlers to work out their angst with violence and zero regard for life. Sounds awfully disrespectful, right? The specious mantra always is: 'It's of no consequence. People know the difference between real life and fantasy.' Well, isn't that a sweeping over simplification. Can we at least stipulate that the stats in reference to violence and moral decline in our society are a complex issue with a lot of subtleties?

In the history of screen entertainment, most action/war films are better than acceptable, and many are amazing, though on a long skid, thanks to Mr. Bay and the like. However, there is absolutely zero doubt that saturation of violent content peels many off the edges, degrading their sense of right and empathy. Entertainment doesn't get all the blame; they don't get most of the blame either. But Hwood's gratuitous disrespect as well as meaningless violence are a corner puzzle piece of this escalating problem.

On the bright side, the weapon they pulled out on the yacht (controlled by the phone) was C⭕⭕L. My rating went up a point just for that.

While the flick has its moments, it ultimately falls flat under the shallow & dumbed-down directing which is, sadly, typical of Mr. Bay. Too much of what Hollywood puts out is downright insulting - the cinematic equivalent of junk food.

Take a break once in a while and cleanse the pallet with some of the fabulous and increasingly popular foreign cinema and shows available. That way you can stretch your brain a little and recover from the brain shrinking that occurs from watching movies like this, and ease the digestion at the same time. That's what I did!

"I've watched this episode 3 times now. I really like it. I liked the comics and the animated series, but I didn't love the last live action version. This is by far, the best character development of any iteration of The Tick. Arthur's back store is excellent, and Griffin Newman plays it brilliantly. Peter Serafinowicz's acting as The Tick is a little rough, but he's a good actor and I have no doubt he'll pull it off. Plus with Patrick Warburton as a producer (as opposed to playing The Tick like he did the last time) I'm sure he'll coach Peter along.

To me, this is more representative of the comics, which could be darker than the animated series. Arthur's back story is definitely darker and it seems that Arthur's story line is going to carry the series forward while The Tick may be ""the sidekick"" to the story. I really hope Amazon picks this up, I can't wait to see where Ben Edlund takes it from here.",8
"Ok so from the point of view that this is an important piece of history and it's an interesting telling of a tragic event. However, I don't see what all the hype is about. Best thing I can say is that I'm glad they didn't force the actors to put on accents for the parts.",5

"Since a long time Adam Sandler hasn't had a Box Office hit, recently, he tends to make a stupid movies not befitting him, ""Murder Mystery"" is dumb and pointless, it wastes a talented cast, Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston last seen together in ""Just Go with It"" and actually it was more funny than this one.

The Story is similar to ""Murder on the Orient Express"" but in a funny way, most jokes were stupid thus the performance was same.

It's just the kind of movie to turn on one night when you're looking for something fun, silly, and a little mysterious.",4
"The problem in this sequel is there are too much of the novel element in this film. The story is complicated and hard to follow. The actions are ok. The soundtrack is so well-done.
the story-telling is kind of boring and jump to all over the place, switching between countries. But although it dropped a massive twist in the end.",7

"I'm not sure if the first few episodes are just particularly bad, or if they are all this way. It basically reminds me of the Twilight Zone. But instead of thought provoking (certainly the case for the pilot) it's based almost entirely on shock value.

"Hi, I'm just wondering why here the rating of the movie is very good - 8.6 by more than 120K people and obviously not so many people liked the movie itself or parts of it.

Also I've read independent comments (not payed articles) of people from my country and from USA who won't rate it more than 5-6/10.

Just statistically if we have 40% negative (or neutral) COMMENTS or REVIEWS and 60% ""so great movie"" it should be something near for the rating.

What do you think?

"Never read the book, this makes it seem like a silly story.

It's strung together enough that I give it 2 stars, but it's horrible. Abusive use of good music, corny long takes on beloved figures (iron giant, etc). Every second, something like this is thrown in to get attention. It's all to propel a lifeless story forwards.

Lots of acting, as in, it feels fake in every way. I wanted to vomit when percival-whatever faked crying at the end. This movie is empty of curiosity, nothing you see or hear has immediate value, it's 100% recycled.",2
"How can Disney completely lose track of its ability to entertain through animation? I can still remember a time when the animators would sit in front of mirrors and perform expressions whilst drawing each detail into the characters that were going to be on screen, it brought to life animals and even inanimate objects. Well sadly this is now in the past as Disney rewrites and undoes everything that made it great in the first place.

Anyway on to the movie itself....

Positives: Great CGI... in fact flawless CGI. Nostalgic nods to the original movie. Great performances from Seth Rogan (Pumba) and Billy Eichner (Timon)

Negatives: Awful and often painful performances. Did James Earl Jones get forced to voice Mustafa? No human emotion.

Summary: great CGI but lacks heart. Movie only picks up pace when Pumba and Timone come to the rescue (literally)",3
"This is a true story and it needs no embellishment. Details in this movie were probably exaggerated here and there, but the film plays more like a comedy than a crime drama. This is a serious and dark story, but Tom Cruise makes Barry Seal a likeable guy. I have watched 'Cocaine Cowboys' (2006) multiple times and I highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys this film or wants to learn a little more on the subject. Barry Seal was a legend. He would probably get a real kick out of the idea that the guy from 'Top Gun' (1986) was playing him in a movie.

"The show is a major disappointment. It is poorly written, poorly acted, and poorly directed. The main actress, Jenna Ortega, is particularly bad. She is completely miscast as Wednesday Addams.

Ortega is too old and too mature for the role. She is also too bland and one-dimensional. She doesn't have the charisma or the comedic timing to play Wednesday Addams.

The rest of the cast is also terrible. The supporting characters are all one-dimensional and stereotypical. The adults are all incompetent and the teenagers are all annoying.

The writing on the show is also terrible. The dialogue is cheesy and unrealistic, and the plot is predictable and unoriginal. The show relies heavily on clichés, such as the love triangle and the fish-out-of-water scenario.

Overall, Wednesday is a terrible TV show. The acting is bad, the writing is bad, and the directing is bad. I would not recommend this show to anyone, especially if you are a fan of the Addams Family.

Emphasis on the main actress:

Jenna Ortega is simply not a good actress. She is completely miscast as Wednesday Addams. She is too old, too mature, too bland, and too one-dimensional for the role. She doesn't have the charisma or the comedic timing to play Wednesday Addams.

Ortega's performance is one of the main things that ruins the show. If you are looking for a TV show with good acting, Wednesday is not it.",1
"Sorry, i watched all seasons so far and I felt this one was the most boring one yet. Probably I grew up a bit older and I got other things going on (although I'm 29 lol) but I dreaded watching some scenes in this season.

"Wow, looking at many of the reviews for this movie I must be one of only a handful of people that really disliked it. So over the top, even for a story about magicians who are, it seems, by their very nature are over the top. Some of the story simply makes no sense at all. And what does sort of make sense pushes the viewers suspension of disbelieve to the edge. An amazing cast - I mean, just look at that cast - and an idea with so much potential and yet such a huge failure in my opinion. The blame has to lay with director Louis Leterrier who also made the shockingly disappointing The Brothers Grimsby.",2

"I was super excited for the movie since the day they announced it and I've been looking forward to it. I was ready with my pink shirt, popcorn and tickets to the early screening expecting a fun loving and very pink movie.

And it sure was a very pink and fun loving movie, but I was not expecting the turn it took. It made me go through so many emotions I wasn't expecting to feel, twist and turns that made me laugh, moments that made me cry and the ending was fantastic to say the least.

The Barbie Movie is everything I was expecting and so much more, I think the highlight, other than the amazing message, casting and storytelling, was when John Cena appeared.

In summary, I'm not the same person I was 1h and 54m ago.",10

"I have missed the quirky very Steve Martin/ Martin Short type of upbeat comedy that was so popular in the late 1980s-2000 and have found myself really missing it....until....

HERE IT IS AGAIN!

A little off-beat, a lot witty with some New York style sarcasm thrown in, this show is a murder-mystery in an apartment building with three strangers and nothing is as it appears on the surface.

NUFF said about the PLOT.

The acting is Steve Martin. Classic Steve Martin. Who remains fabulous. And Martin Short. Also always a winner. Selena Gomes is a fun addition to their act. Highly talented and quite enjoyable.

I will be looking forward to the next episode every week!",10
"Knives out was already massivly overrated. I mean there are so many better comedy ´who´s done it´ mystery films, Clue leading the pack. Clue it certainly wasn´t but it was at least watchable although i can never get used to the overacting and accent of mister lead. Anyway... glass onion is just stupid and so incredibly predictable without any story or character building. Ypu really dont care who´s done it or who´s gonna get killed. The characters are just so incredibly dumb you could never believe they´d be under the dame roof at the same time.

Anyway... did the 600 characters... so yea.. bad film ;)",2
"I only watched this because Netflix featured it and I was pleasantly surprised by the series quality. Whatever few minutes I saw of the original series from the '60s struck me as hokey, campy or both. Not being inclined to compare, and being a Molly Parker fan from her appearances on Deadwood and House of Cards, I tried the first episode and found myself both entertained and drawn in to the family-centered space story. Though things got typically Hollywood-incredible by the 10th and final episode, the story momentum and acting carried me through to the end (a typical one, teasing with the possibilities for Season 2.)

I haven't enjoyed a space drama as much since Star Trek, The Next Generation--though they are not the same kind of space opera.

I've been finding it hard to keep up, lately, with all the digital and other content available to watch online and elsewhere. Much of the quality drama, though, is very dark. Though Lost in Space has its Parental Guidance dark side, the closest this comes to the dystopias in the entertainment pipeline these days is the background scenario driving the space colonization. Though the Robinsons and their fellow travellers are faced with a lot of challenging situations the show is not depressing. With real events in the world today and with entertainments often serving up a lot of characters and behaviour that most of us would strive to avoid, that can be a pleasant change.",8
"This movie is as good as any real action sci fi movie ,though i won't say it has epicness of Super Hero movie fight like Batman vs superman .Civil war is better constructed than Batman vs Superman maybe cz it has really simple plot of going right into action from the start.Civil war don't spend separate time in character or enemy development but its more like characters & enemies are developed through fight from the start.One problem with that is Main Characters become less important & fight/mission overshadow the depths of Characters

The Movie lack better dialogues as usual as any Avenger/Marvel movie .Acting wasn't that great .Facial expression of Iron man & Captain America & few other character almost remained same .Maybe they are told to look bad ass, so thats why not much expression with Face i guess .Some long ,Boring meaningless conversations with no emotional depth .Lack of any background music & sometime complete silence in the background when conversation made it sound really annoying .

Airport Scene !!! I really don't get it what so epicness about it like what Some Fan boy talked about instead i feel the First fight scenes & the last one was better .Airport fight scene lack seriousness & that take away the thrill that it should be involving its audience into . With good background music,good emotional dialogue ,some good flash back to show bonds between characters could have made the emotional attachment to the film stronger .I felt something after Batman vs Superman & it stayed but can't say same for Civil war .Its like every emotional attachment gone after the movie ended,Bad Acting & failed Main Character build up to blame for that though memory of real good fight scene still there .Civil war failed to become"" The Dark knight ""instead its more like ""The Bourne Identity meet Terminator"" with less depth & less attachment to the Main characters",8
"I watched, or at least tried to watch, this movie after reading about all of the SAG awards it received and all of the Academy Award buzz. Big mistake. Right off the bat the dialog was unintelligible. The Chinese parts with subtitles was the easiest for me to follow but the rest was a mess. Because I couldn't understand half of what was being said that made the plot almost impossible to follow. I made it most of the way through all of the action in the IRS building when the daughter and her pig showed up then it just got to be too much. I decided that I had wasted enough of my time and gave up on it. All it did was remind me of what a waste of time it is to listen to anything the SAG or Academy Award people have to say.",2
"The first two series were edge of the seat watching tv....apart from that weird episode where El goes to find her sister or something in Chicago. Like why?

Anyway I felt that at the end of season 3 it had been wrapped up nicely, albeit slightly sadly, but ohhhh no this is America and if there's one thing they like to do it's squeeze out any last bit of interest in a series until someone jumps over a shark on a motorbike.

So, to season 4: ok I'm not going to put in any spoilers but it's as if the Duffers were made to do this at gunpoint or were just writing it as it went along. A new demon is on the loose in Hawkins (of course) and it all starts off creepily until...you see the demon who has a sort of connection to the previous one, and it's just a guy in an octopus suit or something. So now it's just silly.

All the 80s cultural references are still there as are some new characters but some of the existing ones seem totally obsolete now (Will? Why...?). Another annoying thing is allll the sub stories - at one point I counted 6 as the characters are split apart across the world, and the writers desperately try to give them all enough screen time (unsuccessfully) to the detriment of the actual story - who cares about the trip to Utah, or all the long, drawn out pieces with El. And the Hopper storyline just makes no sense.

They should've stayed in Hawkins and gone for the real creepy feel of that town and its apparent curse instead of flapping between Alaska and Russia on the one hand, and California and Utah on the other.

At one point too the writers almost feel guilty that they're losing you so it's almost as if they were like ""let's make one of the main protagonists temporarily cursed"" and then that's kinda forgotten about too.

Still I watched it because I was bored. By the time they make another series (maybe?) everyone will be like 25 so it's just going to go the way of Friends where some pile on the weight and others get nose jobs which you're meant to not notice.",4
"Season 3 was bad but Season 4 is abysmal. I can't even force myself to get through it, it is painfully tedious. It's so bad that I no longer care for any of the characters at all. I hope a Demogorgon kills them all so we can get a whole new cast for Season 5.",7
"Set a mere six months after the events of 2008's Iron Man, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) has almost single-handedly achieved world peace. Only he is now facing opposition from Senator Stern (Garry Shandling), who is demanding he hand his weaponry over to the government, and, unbeknownst to others, is slowly dying from the palladium core in his chest designed to keep him alive. In Russia, Ivan Danko (Mickey Rourke), son of engineering genius Anton Vanko, who worked with Tony Stark's father, seeks revenge against the Stark family who caused his father's exile many years ago. He develops an arc reactor similar to Stark's, and publicly attacks him at the Circuit de Monaco, getting arrested in the process. Facing deportation and years in prison, Danko is approached by rival weapons expert Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell), who wants Danko to help him destroy Stark's legacy, and secure military funding.

The first Iron Man was so successful mainly due to the success it brought to Tony Stark's transformation into the big red and gold suit, anchored by Downey Jr.'s magnetic central performance. Number 2 sadly does not step up the proceedings a la X2 (2003) or Spider-Man 2 (2004), which both developed the central story even further, as well as adding better characters/villains and amping up the action. Iron Man 2 disappoints on all of these fronts. Stark's gradual 'maturing' throughout the course of the first film was relatively perfect in terms of pacing and execution, but this is replaced here by Stark dealing with some dull daddy issues (although Howard Stark is played by Mad Men scene-stealer John Slattery), and Stark's concerns about his poisoning, which confuse above all else.

Of the three new main additions, only Rourke's Whiplash is remotely successful, yet is kept oddly muted throughout the movie as he sets up shop in Hammer's workshop, carefully engineering a not-very-surprising attack at the upcoming Stark Expo. Hammer's over-the-top sliminess fits in with the shift in tone, moving away from the grounded feel of the first, and entering the more supernatural realm of the Avengers' world, where we have to accept intergalactic journeys and a character like Thor. Scarlett Johansson's Nastasha Romanoff does little apart from looking good in Lycra and bringing Stark into S.H.I.E.L.D., which heralds the return of Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury in what is nothing more than an extended cameo,

So we are ultimately left with James 'Rhodey' Rhodes, this time played by Don Cheadle, who came in to replace Terrence Howard. Their relationship forms the best aspect of the film, and also leads to the best moment in the film when Rhodey finally dons a Stark suit (becoming a premature War Machine), and attempts to restrain a drunken Stark, dressed as Iron Man. It's the only scene with any real heart. Still, it's still quite fun overall, and it's interesting to watch Marvel's big plan slowly move closer together, with glimpses of Captain America's shield, the Hulk ripping it up on a news report, and Thor's hammer. When the credits rolled, I felt like I'd been slightly ripped-off by the climax, which pales in comparison even when compared to the first film. But it still left me wanting more, which can't be a bad thing.

"Let's be honest here, after Ashneer was removed from the show it has never been the same. These so call sharks are just one hit wonders who were at the right place at the right time.

It almost feels like most of the comments and feedback given by the judges are literally taken and translated into Hindi from the US version.

You can't expect the show to have any credibility when most of the sharks are unknown quantities who have actually become famous because of Shark tank.

I pity the ppl pitching who are there for funding and mentorship but the only thing that actually helps them is the visibility they get because of the show.",2
"Someone with the caliber of directing Memento and dark knight; Someone who can make his movies remembered by giving strong characters to his movies like Joker in Dark Knight; Someone who is known for creating interesting plot and then utilizing it to his best; Someone from which you didn't expected a average film, has done it this time.

The movie is average in all aspects. The plot was not original, being made on the same idea as Abre los Ojos and Vanilla sky. The acting in the movie was average. There is not even one strong character that comes out of the movie, be it Leonardo himself. The plot made was never utilized fully. It was as if everything was going in one direction, the direction everyone knew.

To me it was an average movie, something i can watch if there is nothing else to do.",6
"This television series more than exceeded my expectations. I was introduced only by the awful logo and the premise that it followed the events of the Loki's escape in Avengers: Endgame, both of which put me off. This Loki, although hamfisted and bombastic in his 2012 incarnation, grows to become a truly likeable and charismatic figure that restores the prestige afforded to his later portrayals. The introduction of the retro-decor TVA and its cosmic management was a very new and formidable plot thread in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, relegating the Infinity Stones to mere paperweights. Throughout the series, there is a staggering escalation of time travelling adventures and mysteries which I adored. The chemistry between Loki and Sylvie felt tense and mostly believable. The finale was well worth it, and I am keen to watch more.

The only cons, as far as I can tell, are the inconsistent pacing, repetitive fight scenes and the infamous Lamentis episodes.",9
"This had me thoroughly entertained and engaged throughout. Twist after twist. Plenty of great performances. Plenty of big laughs.

As of this writing the film holds a 7.4 rating after a month of release. I don't see the 5 out of 10 ratings being genuine. Just more of an ongoing campaign to try and discredit a master of cinema because they got their feelings hurt. Grow up incels. This is a great film all the way around. Will be watching again.",9
"The eight episode web series explains about the court room connection with outer world. The act of lawyer is also shown well. The web series mainly covers Kajol which is injustice to other players. The role of Jishu Sen Gupta can be more better than expected. However movie revolves around a house wife struggle to society when enters to start old law practice. How a lawyer wife protects his family and support the family in extreme need well described in the series. I will recommend every one to seen this web series if interested in court room drama. Some scenes are not suitable for children, hence parental guidance is necessary.",8
"I was confused watching this movie and quite bored even if they were a ""thousands"" actions scene.

Another Michael Bay movie with sexy women and American flags with no good story.",3

"Stop giving long parts to deborah, its destroying the show.",6
"Since when does a freak show become a celebration of diversity and body positivity?

Since when does truth not matter, only feeling good?

I wonder if this film is purveying a 1984-style rewriting of history, or propagating postmodern philosophy where truth is deconstructed, becoming little more than a matter of personal preference.

It seems as though the message is that even if what you do is fake, even fraudulent, if it makes people smile, then that's what matters. This is the case both for the Barnham character within the film, and the way in which the film is made, with its very loose interpretation of historical information.

We need to be careful what we imbibe and what out young people are absorbed in; it can shape the way we think.

Nice singing though.",2
"Many comments on IMDb (as well as a movie rating) say that this sequel is better than first Spider-Man movie. Personally, I don't think so. First of all the second movie was very slow, too slow for action movie and comic book adaptation. It is well-known that Spider-Man 2 had around 200 millions budget but I watched it very carefully and I simply haven't any idea for what they could spend so much money. Overall, the computer-generated visuals weren't bad but the central computer-generated character Dr. Octopus was a really bad thing. Bad character development and acting, ridiculous tentacles - all that made Dr. Octopus such a strong candidate for the worst villain of the year. Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin in the first Spider-Man movie was simply brilliant compared to this guy. And in addition to that we got a colossal amount of dull and silly dialogs what supposed to carry some moral messages, but in fact they could carry only boredom. I don't know is it a true adaptation of the comic book or not, but anyway the story was lame, as well as the ending was ridiculous. I don't want to discuss here all possible plot holes because that would take too much time. But only one mention of a idea of drowning a fusion generator in a river should be enough for understanding a real stupidity of the script. So I warn you. The Spider-Man 2 can be a watchable movie but only if you don't expect much and turn your brains off before watching it.

My grade - 5.5 (I rated the first Spider-Man movie 7.5).",6
"I went to see it at 12:00 midnight today. It was worth it and I'll go see it again! I thought it would be as good as the first one, but it took me completely by surprise. Is way out better than the first one.

Perfect mix of superb special effects, comedy relief and story, and achieving the almost impossible task of giving a human face to a comic book hero.

Though CGI is still CGI, it is such a nice improvement over the first one, that 95% of the time you just forget it is there and pay attention to the movie and not to how fake or real it looks.

To sum it all up: GO SEE IT, it's worth twice the ticket price.",10
I actually watched this with my grandsons and daughter and we all loved it. I know not just anyone can replace Chris Evans but the actor who is playing Captain America is actually a great actor like his parents Kurt and Goldie. As for Falcon and the Winter Soldier they are cracking me up. Their acting together is very entertaining and comical . Fun series to watch.,7
"They show how a special sport kung fu , and this is specially a defenfe sport and so aesthetic , for me this is a kind of show art , i like it",7
Built on too many scenes from original movie. And what's with the Star Wars rip off flying as fast as possible through a ravine to no bomb 3 meter target? Was waiting for luke skywalker to swoop in.,2
"I think my biggest issue with this movie is the incongruity between the music and the story. The music is not used as a storytelling device like other musicals; rather it feels like they were trying to write radio hits. You can separate the music and the narrative entirely and nothing changes for either aspect, and I think that is to the films disadvantage.",5
"Bad portrait of relations between Yennefer and Ciri, and Yennefer with Geralt. What's wrong with screenwriter's minds? Why would you twist Yennefer's personality in this way and let Geralt and Ciri not trusting her?? Ehh awful plots.",1
I don't know what they tried to make . The story or mystery that can make people fascinate is missing.,2
"Yes, yes, yes, I know it's not original. I don't care. No movie is original anymore, this one just so happens to be blatantly obvious in how it's not original. Yes, it's pretty, yes 3D is better because of James Cameron, yes I know all of this, that's not what I'm here to talk about. I'm here to talk about James Cameron himself.

James Cameron is a man that I greatly respect. I'm sorry, a man I greatly respectED. I loved True Lies, I enjoyed Aliens (even though it shouldn't have been made) Terminator 2 was amazing, and Titanic (I still think it didn't deserve best picture) was a blast. This man has a talent for turning things he writes into pure gold. This man knows how to make a good movie. But making good movies is not what's on his mind. Can you say profiteer? I began to realize this when the 1997 Academy Awards came around. They announced Titanic instead of Good Will Hunting, and I was happy for James Cameron. Then, he got up there, grabbed his award, and said,""I'm King of the world!"" so half-heartedly, flailing his arms around. Then a thought occurred to me, ""THIS is James Cameron? No, James Cameron is more original than ripping off his own movie!"" That was just the beginning.

His specialty is character development. The characters always had a new perspective on life at the end (if they survive) in a way that betters them and makes the audience feel good about themselves even though the endings are not always happy. But then just after winning his three Oscars for Titanic, Linda Hamilton said,""Honey, you're focusing too much on your own movies. Here, I got some VHS tapes for you. I got Dances with Wolves, Pocahontas, and Ferngully and Star Wars Episode VI. Just relax and enjoy someone else's work."" James Cameron fell asleep while watching the Smurfs, and had a dream that night. In 3D.

The 3D was the best part of that dream, and he started thinking, ""I've got a movie."" He crapped out a screenplay and began work on the effects. That's my whole problem with this movie, he realized people like special effects more than story these days. Because he likes money. We all know that films are stories. STORIES. Not art shows, stories. Every year, there are more and more profiteering filmmakers and James Cameron has taken off his veil to reveal the dollar signs in his eyes. Watch as he devotes the rest of his career to making movies prettier.",4
"I have been a fan of ""24"" since the series began. It is action-packed, suspenseful, and the characters are portrayed to perfection. Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) is a counter-terrorist agent, who must stop a terrorist attack while protecting his family. ""24"" is unique because of its real-time aspect, as well as its use of split-screens. Each season covers one day, and each episode is an hour in that day (told in real-time).

All you have to do is watch one episode, and you'll be hooked. This is the only show that I schedule my week around, and I tape every episode so I can watch it over and over. This award winning show will not let you down, and you will find yourself on the edge of your seat, not knowing what will happen next.

Without a question, ""24"" gets 5 stars out of 5.",10
"Like so many great ideas for movies that have come about, once they turn into screen written form, they fall apart. I won't spoil the ending here, but the building conflict between the two main characters came to an unsatisfying ending for me. More importantly, the worst part about this movie was its musical score. I cannot think of another movie, including B-movies and spoofs, that included background music that was so distracting to watching and listening to the actors on screen. The drama and mood that the score's composer tried to create was simply not a match for the accompanying story line to which it was associated. Not only that, but the sound editors on this movie should be sent back to film school, because the volume of the music was consistently too loud to hear what the actors were saying. All in all, this was a very disjointed effort, and a shameful waste of Daniel Day Lewis's immense talents.",4
"In which I watch ten minutes of a truly awful film and write a review.

Just because movies no longer make it to the cinema these days doesn't mean that runtimes should be longer, yet most Netflix films go way over a sensible time limit. There is no way this thing needs to go over 1h30min but clocks in at 1h56min, or in technical terms, too long. It's sort of the flip side of the old joke in which two people are talking about aa restaurant with bad food. ""And such small portions,"" one of them says. We have lousy movies that somehow think they will be better if they go on 20% longer.

Yet another bloody kill-fest of wonton slaughter in which the protagonist seems to be immune to bullets while everyone else around him is a bullet magnet. Does this movie have as many senseless homicides as John Wick? Some other fool who can be bothered to watch all 1h56min of this piece of trash will have to answer than question.",1
"Bam! Pow! Kazam! Batman Begins (currently at 117 on the IMDb 250!?). OK, there were several elements I really liked. Bruce Wayne's training in the first 45 minutes was pretty cool, as were the deeper than usual themes of justice and revenge. The way Wayne acquired Batman's wonderful toys was explained nicely too, such as having the two ears manufactured at a different place than the actual mask to avoid suspicion. The movie was suitably dark and Christian Bale was more than acceptable as the lead. That all said, the movie seemed overlong at two plus hours, perhaps being the cause of the frenzied-to-a-fault climax. The last half hour was a mix of rushed details and plot points, resulting in a nearly awful watch. The fighting and action itself was nothing great either, often consisting of quick edits and the camera being so close as to lose focus of what is actually going on. All in all, a decent movie but Burton's version still reigns supreme in my book. Oh yeah, the suped-up, armored dune buggy didn't really work for me as a Batmobile either, nor did the ""look"" of Gotham.",6
"It begins with a 10 minute action scene. You have no clue of what is happening but you're curious either way. They try to explain with really short flashback scenes and it just wasn't interesting. The comedy is forced by every actor in this movie, including Reynolds who is one of the most hilarious actors in the business but was not funny at all in this movie. The action scenes are really cool. The most Michael Bay movie ever. But it looked like a 2 hour meme movie with terrible memes.",6
"Wednesday is a horror comedy set In nevermore academy. Wednesday Addams is expelled from her school after dumping live piranhas into the school's pool in retaliation for the boys' water polo team bullying her brother, Pugsley. Consequently, her parents, Gomez and Morticia Addams enroll her at their high school alma mater, Nevermore Academy, a private school for monstrous outcasts, in the town of Jericho, Vermont. Wednesday's cold, emotionless personality and her defiant nature make it difficult for her to connect with her schoolmates and cause her to run afoul of the school's principal. However, she discovers she has inherited her mother's psychic abilities which allow her to solve a local murder mystery.

My favorite character is Larissa Weems, the principal of Nevermore Academy and a former student who was roommates with Morticia Addams because she seems to care for Wednesday and wants to help her but is secretly using her for her own motives to get what she wanted. I like shows with a little mystery in the show that constantly keeps me guessing and wanting more. I would recommend this show to people who like to watch comedies and scary things. I would give this show 5/5 stars.",5
