I seriously don't understand all the hype around this movie. And I have long decided that the Oscars are useless and made up of 60 year old white men who don't know the difference between a fun film and a critical film. I did not see this in theaters. Wish I did so I could have enjoyed the cinematography to the fullest. Storyline is extremely weak and boring. How did it win so many Oscars? Sandra Bullock is jumping from one space station to another in succession. I've seen way better space movies and I am a huge sci-fi fan. It was a disappointment and I am glad that I am not the only one of the audience who felt so. Critics have given this movie two thumbs up but judging from the reviews om IMDb seems to me the general public share my opinion. This movie is a waste like most other Hollywood trash these days. | 1 |
I've got to be honest, the first few episodes had me doubting what exactly what I was watching. I decided to stick through it and man...I'm glad I did. One word to describe this show....unique. I haven't watched the whole series yet, but with each episode I get that "what happens next" feeling. I am still relatively new to watching anime (I've watched a few series), but I can definitely say this is one I enjoy. | 8 |
Saw the first episode, thought I'll give it one shot more, stopped watching half way episode 2. To boring for my taste. | 3 |
Wow, Anurag Basu, you and your team are the absolute BOMB !!!
Awesome cast, acting, script n screen play, funny as hell. Never laughed as much in a long time. Rajkumar was the abs best though all of them acted exceptionally well.
Will be remembered with the best of the best - Andaaz Apna Apna, 3 Idiots and the likes...
Please Indian film board, this movie needs to represent India at the Oscars. | 10 |
First forget that its based on whom and what? thats not needed to see this movie. It has every thing a good movie needs to have. Casting, music ,cinematography, above all a great subject, that is still relevant.
Its a story you may or may not think is great. But its a story that was told in great way. Don't try to judge, you can't judge something practical with something that is theory.
If you want a movie that can project life-spectrum in another angle, here it is.
What I can say is DON'T MISS IT. | 8 |
I really love the show but was very surprised to see Evan Peters in Episode 2. I like him but if your used to his former work of madness and monsters its difficult to get used to him in the beginning as he has done so much weird tv shows i almost thought he is miscast as it was hard for me to watch him act, but in episode 3 he is actually very sweet and so i hope he stays till the end of the show. | 8 |
This series was probably one of the first shows I've watched on Netflix.
The first season had flaws, but at least the story made somewhat more sense compared to the last season which was following too many characters including newly added ones. Season one was easier to follow because it showed a chained domino effect from one person to another. All the internal struggles and bad decisions people make does make us audience reflect on our own decisions. The soundtrack was very good with timing and suited the mood of the scenes.
The flashback scenes and transitions were pretty smooth, but I think they may have overdid the saturation in season 2.
I believe the show should have ended in season 2 when Hannah's arc was completed. The last season in particular seemed to dramatize characters actions and the story started to become warped leaving little room to connect with the viewers. The remaining seasons did try to show the aftermaths of the remaining characters, but the pacing and story direction started to lose the meaning behind the title "13 reasons why".
Overall, I still found Minette's performance to be convincing and most of the cast did their best with the given material. | 6 |
I'm so confusing through the hole season 4. I was expecting those children could be more adult likes instead even those parents are acting like " wtf are you doing?!?!" Love and concerned should be more communication not like these hole season, everyone just being so themselves even they've been through all of these. Wasting 4 years and learn nothing. To be honest these passed away characters are wasted. Their death didn't teach the living anything then why bother to be dead? | 5 |
Acting was pretty bad. Cardboard like. Ho hum identification with the characters.
The fight scenes had choreography written all over them.
The story was just plain bad. It went from pretty cool the first 15 minutes to cartoon like the rest of the move until the last minute or two.
The score was non-descript except for the last one.
The CGI was too obviously CGI. Check out the rhinos and you'll know what I mean.
Overall a pretty poor movie that is WAY overrated. How this dog got 7+ here is a real mystery considering the overwhelming sentiment is sub 5 reviews. | 3 |
Amsterdam is a movie that subverts expectations. I went into it not knowing anything about the plot and simply wanting to see the ensemble cast in action. What begins as an eccentric and slightly amusing film becomes quite a serious political drama about America post WW1 and the power of a group of friends holding true to one another.
I certainly can see how the slower pace could put people off, particularly if you have no interest in the conspiracy being unearthed but for me it was an entertaining insight into a part of history I knew nothing about.
The performances are for the most part great, especially Margot Robbie who is at this stage a bone fide A lister. I would say however that the performance of John David Washington feels a little wooden.
In an era of short attention spans and superhero films there won't be nearly enough explosions for some but for those prepared to absorb this work a thought provoking film awaits. | 8 |
This movie was much too long and much too boring for me to enjoy. The action scenes were very sloppy, almost like a bad sci fi channel movie. Two face seemed like a throw away character and was really useless. The movies theme seemed to be "Batman can't stop crime and is the reason Gotham is in misery" which seemed odd to me. Hard to believe that so many plot holes made it into the movie. Lazy screenplay and lazy directing.
Christopher Nolan's style of film making seems to be slap one scene after another together without making a coherent story.
Honestly had to check the end credits to see if Michael Bay directed this movie.
Heath Ledger was amazing. | 2 |
Inspired by true events, Unstoppable, director Tony Scott's final movie, stars Denzel Washington and Chris Pine as the veteran driver and rookie conductor of a freight locomotive, who, having narrowly avoided a head on collision with a driver-less, runaway train carrying toxic chemicals, decide to give chase in the hope of slowing the vehicle down and averting a major disaster.
This could have been a really solid action film—it certainly had a decent sized budget and star power—but the tedious script bogs down the action with unnecessary technical details and dull character development, while Scott's trademark directorial style—frenetic camera-work, crash zooms and rapid editing—does little to convince that the film's runaway train is genuinely hurtling along at a breakneck speed: for much of the time, it looks like it's travelling at a fairly leisurely pace. For an action movie, there's very little in the way of genuine thrills; for the most part, Unstoppable feels more like an ambitious TV movie than a big-budget blockbuster from a major director. | 5 |
This movie is beautifully done. But after about 20 minutes of being impressive with the single shot I was over it. The story is very one note. It's just them getting from point A to point B. The whole film is to showcase the one shot while getting from point A to point B. There were emotional scenes but I didn't feel any emotions. Not sure it it just felt contrived or acting didn't sell it. This does not deserve best picture. Best cinematography sure. | 6 |
To be frank, I have never seen this sort of anime before. Anime industry represented for me either tear-jerking and highly emotional flicks that could take your breath away or, on the contrary, utterly serious and puzzling movies like "Death Note". Despite that, I dared to watch these TV series due to the high ratings and valuable and robust reviews, and... I was absolutely blown away!
The infuriating monsters, mind blowing graphics and spunky protagonists have definitely got me glued to the screen! Although I was not fully pleased with the ending, the whole plot seemed to be pretty worthy! I could wholeheartedly recommend this anime movie to everyone who wishes to see something different from typical anime films! | 8 |
One of the dullest shows, a morose kind of chick-flick material. No way is this deserving of an 8.4 rating. Every two minutes someone walks around totally naked. That explains the rating, I suppose, because everything else is lacking. Boring dull juvenile stories, a colossally irritating lead female character going through relationships like ligerie, all explained by adolescent angst. Palaver.. none of us had quite a lame excuse for being woefully promiscuous. Capped off with more melodrama in the form of maudlin music--Spotify has a playlist that has a slow lineup of humdrum melancholy music. A hard pass. | 2 |
I wasnt looking forward to this from the trailers but then I saw a few reviews and thought it would be good. I love superhero films, hardly slate any....I think Elektra was good for example. Yet, I just left the cinema underwhelmed with this one. Nice intro/background story and the film was above expectations at this point...but the action was just a bit lame. Nothing really happened. It was building up to a Capt Marvel type of fulfill your potential scenario without ever materialising. Most of the fighting was kinda grappling, minimal use of electricity powers n that. Anyway, decent star, tame middle and a boring ending. Prob wont watch again. Thanks | 6 |
Movie is absolutely boring and horrendously bad!!! No plot just a boring 2 plus hours sitting there watching nothing happen. The people giving this movie high reviews are clearly seeing a completely different movie lol only reason I gave it 3 stars and not a one star is because of all the sexy feet scenes LMAO!!! | 3 |
The best thing about this movie was the hamburger I had for lunch while watching this masterpiece of boredom. | 4 |
The movie is all action except the first 10-15 minutes. Then its all about action, killing, and surviving, but the ending is stupid... | 7 |
Awful writing... painfully awful. Nothing this parody of a family does makes sense. Physics and basic chemistry be damned too.
The only likable charters are the chicken and the robot... seriously. I hated almost every scene with the boy, both sisters and the villain. Insufferable mother should have been left to die in first episode and father should have spend rest of the show on a personal quest to find his long lost thng. The only tolerable human was Don West and mostly because he gave us the chicken.
CGI was very good, sets, costumes, music and camera too which is why I gave it 2 stars instead of just 1.
I would give it 10/10 if that robot turned his visor red again and murdered everyone and the rest of the show was literally about the chicken trying to survive alone in space.
If you liked Teletubies and wished it had a sequel but this time Teletubies would be awful to each other and even simpler than before. This show is for you. If you want too see a chicken carrying the entire multi million dollar show, this show if for you too. If you want something that will not insult your intelligence in every scene with someone talking.... run. | 2 |
If you haven't played the games you will be SO confused and you will be constantly asking 'what the hell just happened?'. Poorly filmed and sooo poorly acted. I finished the whole season because Henry Cavill but honestly this is not a good show at all | 2 |
I'm cool with little subtle messages, but don't need to be beaten with hit. | 2 |

From time 0:00:00 I was hooked all the way to 2:27:43, yes that means the entire movie even the credits! This movie has a different tone than other MCU which was a fantastic change of pace and film style. The comedy was great,action was great and acting even greater. STUNNING performances from Sebastian Stan, RDJ, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson and Chadwick Boseman. Tom Holland did excellent in his first spiderman role. His comedic timing was amazing and his characters lack of awareness was very well done. Paul Rudd also added a light hearted and funny tone to the movie everytime he was on screen. All around fantastic movie, please do yourself a favor and watch it. Definitely top 3 MCU movie. Endgame and Infinity are obviously better but this was very close! | 10 |
One of the worst movies in the spider-verse. It was honestly terrible. Anyone that enjoyed this needs to give there head a shake. It was very very stupid. I am a huge Marvel comic book fan. This was a disgrace. | 3 |
Swades is a must watch. Ashutosh Gowariker has made this one straight from his heart with a very noble intent. The lines "why give light to the neighbour's house" might have been said in a funny manner .. but honestly it touches you. SRK has given an amazing performance, he has not played the "larger then life SRK" but this time has played in his character. He is a very good actor no doubt .. but i have never been a very big fan of him as he was never the versatile actor. In Swades he proves that he can act if given something besides lover boy masala roles. No matter what the box office response to this will be , those who have the mind to think, will know this movie is a cinematic masterpiece. It is not really for the masses, but i suggest all the NRI's watch it. I am a NRI and honest to GOD, this might make some of you laugh but me at the age of 16 before this movie came out had decided to go back to India and do somethin for the nation. India is booming and we should go empower that boom. Remember this is the story of ONE village in India and this is not what the country is exactly like . The country has been progressing at a very fast rate and is surely going to be a power in the next decade. This movie has just made my decision stronger to go back after completing education. Gayatri Joshi is the best newcomer this year, without a skin show she impresses. She is simply sexy, she is beautiful and is an amazing actress. Her sexiness lies in her attitude, expression and body language. All in all Swades is one of the best movies made in a long time but it is nothing like any other Bollywood movie. This One DESERVES AN Oscar! Ashutosh Gowariker is a great story teller and making movies from his heart will for sure drive him to the Oscar as it is Oscar quality after all.

Maybe I had too high expectations because I've heard so much about John Wick, and almost everything I've read and heard about the trilogy is positive. ... and I like Keanu Reeves.
However, this is three movies, or about six hours, of fighting, with all kinds of weapon, and it's the fighting scenes that bothers me. I started to take screen shots/captures of examples of what I believed was mistakes, but I ended up capture so many fighting scenes I initially thought were errors before I realized that they weren't.
Where Jason Bourne redefined and raised the bar for how fighting should look in movies, John Wick destroys it. I thought, or hoped, that we were passed the time when actors are waiting to get hit or shot. There are so many scenes where John Wick are fighting against, for instance, three opponents and while John Wick is fighting against one of them the two others are standing and waiting until he's done fighting the first. They are standing in line, so to speak. The movies are riddled with stupid fighting scenes I expect to watch in an old action movie from the 80's.

'Fargo' is an amazing film. The Coen Brothers once again prove, that they are indeed Boon to Cinema! How lovely to think of, the film begins claiming that it's a true story. But once you begin to read about this super-hit, you come to know that it's fictitious. The Coens give a wonderful answer to their lie, that you itself believe, yep this is my next-door story, of at least that they think about such stuff. 'Fargo' is marvelous dark-comedy crime film, that leaves you awe-struck with it's charm.
McDormand plays a pregnant police chief who investigates a series of homicides, William H. Macy as a car salesman who hires two criminals to kidnap his wife, and Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare as the criminals. A grim, violent and rather disturbing subject comes up more as a Revelation, rather than being a depression watch.
The Coens at their fiery best. Their Screenplay was complimented with an Academy-Award. Their direction, yes, this was a collaborate effort, comes flawless. Roger Deakins's Cinematography is superb.
In the acting department, McDormand is mind-blowing in a role that won her numerous award. She lives her character from start to end. William H. Macy is like never before. The actor is terrific, and nearly steals the show. Peter Stormare is fantastic. Steve Buscemi goes completely over-the-top, he doesn't impress in here. John Carroll Lynch is perfect.
On the whole, 'Fargo' is one of those films, where you feel proud to be a Cinema-Fan. It's one of the greatest films of it's time, or maybe, of all-times. A Modern-Era Masterpiece All The Way!! | 10 |
First season: very good, well done, and a great finale. But it should have ended there. Second season: totally unnecessary, boring, and bad. Third season: incredibly dumb, bad in a lot of ways (not the acting, of course, which is great from start to end), and really bad. Fourth season: ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. I SHALL REPEAT: IT SHOULD HAVE ENDED AT SEASON ONE. (The rating is just considering the first season, which I recommend you to watch and then stop, not going any further. | 8 |
The show is fine, but nothing special. The camera is great and also the way she is dressed through the series meaning it really reflects the state she is in, but the acting is mediocre and some of the scenes are so cliche (especialy the one were she is at her rock buttom while she looks perfect). I do not regert watching it but I really don't understand the reason why so many people are amazed by it. | 6 |
I liked the previous movies in this series but this one was just boring. All the plot twists were so predictable that it almost looked like a parody. | 5 |
If we're being honest with each other, I can't say I've enjoyed too many installments in the Avengers series since 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger. I mean, REALLY enjoyed them. I liked most of them, but not to the point of needing to rewatch them. The first Avengers film was very enjoyable. And so was last year's Ant-Man. But other than that, it's been growing a bit tiresome.
And within the first ten minutes of Captain America: Civil War, I thought it wasn't boding well for this one either. There was a random action scene, which felt more like action for action's sake. We weren't sure why things were happening. It was more self-aggrandizing than anything else.
But soon after, we realize it was supposed to be somewhat unimportant. Merely setting up the theme for the rest of the movie.
The Avengers are trying to stop some bad guys in Nigeria, but kill some civilians in the process.
Afterwards, the superhero team faces a lot of adversity across the entire world. The United Nations issues an act that will oversee and control the Avengers' missions. This divides everyone in the group. Some feel that not fighting every battle they hear of is a waste of their abilities, while others are affected more by the death toll of the innocent.
I wasn't expecting the "civil war" to be much more than a verbal conflict, but it escalates pretty badly. You know something really catastrophic is going to happen as a result of this.
Halfway through this movie, I've already realized that it's better than most that came before it.
Here's why I like it: More than almost any Avengers film, there's no convoluted premise or overuse of impenetrable fanboy references. Everything here is clear-cut. There are no alien races trying to takeover the planet. Nothing here feels like it's beating a dead horse.
This film also contains the best cast yet. Chadwick Boseman ups the ante playing Black Panther, as his acting abilities almost seem too good for this franchise. We also get some great character surprises, as well as a few minutes of Marisa Tomei.
It's a refreshing mix of each character's personality and wit, without it sacrificing the film's intent or them stepping on each other's toes.
Like any of Marvel's Avengers movie, this one has tons of charisma. But it's different this time, because it isn't forced. It becomes top tier in this glorified franchise, and moves into my top 3 favorite Marvel films since the series was launched in 2008--along with Iron Man and the aforementioned Captain America: The First Avenger.
It isn't perfect, but it's pretty close as far as superhero movies go.
It's also important to note that you should probably know some background on the whole Bucky-Captain America relationship or you might be a little lost. Also, for those of you who've never seen ANY Avengers film, this will probably all be lost on you.
Twizard Rating: 98 | 10 |
Three simple dramatic stories been seen here with such a old fashionable way. It may took you to the old 90's and you will enjoy the entire plot. | 8 |
I just find the shows to often be lower budget watered down and boring spin offs of the movies. But this one does something very different with it's creative use of sitcoms through the ages. | 9 |
I used to be a big QT fan. I ignored the bland trailer and watched this movie anyways. Hours of self-indulgence, celebrating Hollywood and paying endless homage to the good old days. Most disappointing was probably that there is no main female character. Margot Robbie seems central in any of the promo material, but you could cut her out of the movie without affecting the story at all. None of the females have any agency. All they are allowed to do is smile, scream and be eye-candy. Just like in the good old days. | 2 |
I can't believe anyone could like this. The acting is terrible, the writing is terrible, everything feels so cheap, from the dialogues to the costumes. There were so many things going on in the first episode, and so many flavorless characters. They tried to make some of the scenes so dramatic but they really weren't because I did not care about those characters at all. I couldn't care less if they lived or died. I regret wasting time watching this. | 7 |
The characters complimented each other. It was thrilling and funny at the same time. I grown up watching the three of them. Never I have imagine that those 3 will make a good team of amazing actors. | 10 |
Some episodes seems a little slow, but overall, this is great stuff. Highly recommend. Superman plays the part so we'll...who would have thought?! They took so long for the next season I thought I would eat my remote! Definitely worth watching. | 9 |

Decent acting, decent production, terrible writing. Pacing was all wrong. Characters were only there to move along the plot, which was nonsensical. How this movie managed to have next to no character character development given the twist at the end, I have no idea. Don't waste your time. | 3 |
Imagine hearing the major critics on the top of the roof on the skycraper sing boisterous praise for one of the five hundred 'qualified masterpieces', and Lost in Translation somehow received the honor bestowed on Sofia Coppola and company. Big mistake.
Lost in Translation is one of these movies that at first you might be seeing a terrific movie, but as it progress it become drab, droll and tedious without justification in substance. There's really no story to speak of -- only paper-thin basic with inanely banterous dialogue.
There may be a merit in cinematography that raise the artistic value of this movie, but because the story is non-existent and the characters utterly unsympathetic & boring to watch, cinematography -- stationary in some scenes and moving in others -- somehow negate the enjoyability of the movie by focusing on the ludicrous aspect of tedium as if Sofia could bring back the element of silence inspired by silent films of the early 20th century.
Lost in Translation (er, Sofia) abuse the silence element as the expression of meaning when it really add *nothing* of substance to the aesthetics of the movie, artistic or otherwise. It's utterly meaningless if one does not understand the express purpose of silence at the right moment to convey the humanistic value of life in the hectic and modern world. Sofia is being altruistic to the detriment of the audience when it comes to the vanity of the characters as portrayed Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson which generated zero empathy that makes the movie even less interesting to watch in a continuous manner without becoming fidgety or letting out relaxing yawn. There's nothing of interest what happen to the main characters and why should the audience give a care.
Sofia made the blunders in filming and keeping the scenes from the fate of being tossed into the cutting room trash bin that are particularly unintentionally humorous in being unabashedly pretentious or idiotically embarrassing. Like the English pronunciation-mangling Japanese hooker in the hotel room and the pointless, unromantic conversations with Bill & Scarlett characters who somehow fall in love while possessing ice-cold personalities that would make Mr. Freeze blush in humbled shame. And the movie moves in the glacial pace that makes it atrocious to watch -- it is the cinematic exercise in tedium for the sake of artistic expression, without tightening up. It drags on and on until the audience feel nothing but contempt for the characters and especially the screenwriter/director responsible for torture by mean of boring the audience to death.
Sofia once mentioned her favorite movie director is Terrence Malick. Mr. Malick is a completely different filmmaker who knows how to convey the meaning of silence in the poetic setting because Malick has experience observing nature and human qualities as a former philosophy professor & translator. Sofia did not because she doesn't get the aesthetics combined with silence without the backbone of a rich story and characterization. The Virgin Suicides, Sofia's debut movie, is well-made and competent, but Lost in Translation is such a trainwreck in terms of lackluster substance & poor, drag-on editing that lend to experiencing boredom. This boredom probably reflect the period of boredom at certain points of her life, and she parlay that experience as a form of torture to inflict the mental anguish of tedium on the audience in vengeance.
Scarlett Johannson and Bill Murrey, while accomplished movie actors in their right, do the barest minimum except mug to the camera in the aura of exulting "Sundance Film Festival" self-importance that elevate this movie to the new level (more like bottom 100) in high art, with moronically sedate monotony & meandering tedium thrown in. Bill's acting is nothing special save comedy and Scarlett is moderately competent but technically bad in dramatic acting (which makes it a safe bet she'll never be nominated for Best Actress Oscar in her lifetime, UK's BAFTA Best Actress award clinch for subpar, vacant, minimalist acting style partially blamed on Sofia's tepid, fumbling directional style & a future hard-*** director demanding spectacular acting notwithstanding).
Frankly, I do not know how Lost in Translation screenplay appealed to Scarlett and Bill Murray. It may be a character study, but does it delve into humanities, psychology and philosophy? No. It's more like a staid travelogue populated with non-descript characters that say absolutely nothing but dumb banter then fade to the pretty backdrop with the main characters wandering for a few minutes too long. This script won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for nothing but silence, banter, silence, banter, silence, inaudible whisper, fade to end? When the critics claim the movie have substance that the audience could not spot and decipher and call us stupid for being oblivious, I say the true design of Lost in Translation is that it is an introvertible proof The Emperor's New Clothes carry a valid allegory that apply to Sofia's vapid, utterly worthless filmflam that, next to Corey Haim's 1989 video diary "Me, Myself & I", might serve as an ideal audio-visual torture device. Because Sofia wants the audience to experience what she endured, and so we the viewers get the taste of her bitter medicine of a puerile existence, similar to what Vincent Gallo did with the cheerfully self-indulgent "Buffalo 66".
Zero star out of four | 1 |
The story is based on Dhaka, Bangladesh. But the dialog accent is not from Dhaka/Bangladesh at all. No one in Dhaka or Bangladesh speaks in that accent.
Seems, shooting was done only at a few locations of Dhaka. The movie could no way depict Dhaka or the people here.
They way this movie showed, children or teenagers are not common in criminal gangs. But I would consider as a minor issue.
Acting and action was average, I would say. Story is poor.
Overall I got the feeling the director or film writer did no homework about Dhaka. | 3 |
Unsubcribe disney plus. Never pay a penny to them anymore. Just waste my time to watch a show not even about tom's Loki. The director and writers are just disgusting. | 1 |
Boring Title: Wither Season 3: A Tedious and Lackluster Experience
Introduction:
Wither Season 3, the latest installment in the popular television series, was highly anticipated by fans who expected the show to continue its thrilling and engaging narrative. Unfortunately, what was delivered was a lackluster and slow-paced season that left many viewers disappointed. In this review, we will delve into the reasons why Wither Season 3 failed to live up to its predecessors, resulting in a tedious and boring viewing experience.
1. Pacing Issues:
One of the major problems with Wither Season 3 was its pacing. The season started promisingly, but it soon became evident that the plot was progressing at a snail's pace. Key storylines seemed to drag on endlessly, with little to no significant developments in several episodes. This sluggish pace made it difficult for viewers to maintain their interest and invest in the characters' journeys.
2. Lack of Direction:
The lack of a clear direction for the season was another major downfall. Previous seasons had strong central arcs that kept viewers engaged and eager to see what happens next. However, Wither Season 3 meandered between multiple subplots without providing a cohesive narrative. It felt as though the writers were struggling to find a focus, resulting in a fragmented and confusing storyline.
3. Underdeveloped Character Arcs:
Character development has been one of the show's strong points in the past, but Season 3 failed to capitalize on this aspect. Several characters were given minimal screen time, and their arcs were left underdeveloped. As a result, it was challenging to form emotional connections with the characters, leaving viewers indifferent to their fates.
4. Unnecessary Filler Episodes:
A considerable part of the season was occupied by filler episodes that did little to contribute to the overall plot. These episodes appeared to be included solely to extend the season's length, rather than serving a purpose in advancing the story. This approach only served to frustrate viewers who were eagerly awaiting significant plot developments.
5. Lack of Meaningful Conflict:
Engaging conflict is essential in any successful television series. Regrettably, Wither Season 3 failed to introduce compelling conflicts that would drive the story forward. The lack of high stakes and tension meant that the characters' struggles felt trivial, and viewers were left wondering what the point of it all was.
6. Repetitive Themes:
Season 3 seemed to recycle themes and storylines from its predecessors, making it feel stale and predictable. The show missed an opportunity to explore fresh ideas and take its narrative in bold new directions. Instead, viewers were left with a sense of déjà vu, as they had already seen similar plotlines play out in previous seasons.
Conclusion:
Wither Season 3, unfortunately, falls short of its predecessors, presenting a slow and unengaging narrative that struggles to capture the audience's attention. The pacing issues, lack of direction, underdeveloped character arcs, unnecessary filler episodes, and repetitive themes all contribute to a disappointing viewing experience. Fans who had high hopes for this season were left feeling unsatisfied and disheartened by the direction the show took.
It is evident that Wither Season 3 could have benefited from stronger writing and a clearer vision for its storyline. While every television series faces its ups and downs, Season 3's shortcomings outweighed its strengths. It is our hope that the creators will learn from the mistakes of this season and endeavor to deliver a more compelling and engaging narrative if the series continues in the future. Slow. | 1 |
When I signed up with Disney+ (to watch Doctor Who), I was very keen to watch "Always Sunny" and "Only Murders".
I gave up watching the former, but binged three seasons of the latter.
It's difficult to explain what's so good about it, because on paper it probably shouldn't work. But I think it's got something for everyone - a little drama with a load of good-natured humour.
There is obvious (long-standing) chemistry between Steve Martin and Martin Short, but Selena Gomez fits very nicely in their clique. I like how some actors play characters (e.g. Meryl Streep) while others play themselves (e.g. Matthew Broderick) and they all do a wonderful job of it.
I was also very impressed with performances by Nathan Lane and James Caverly. | 10 |
Stranger Things is a rare occasion where the characters outshine the plot and concept. Incredible acting makes for such a fun experience. With the first 2 seasons focusing on a mystery/horror tone where as the third season switched up to a more Adventure type of show. Honestly the character chemistry would make or break a show like this and luckily the chemistry is some of the best on television. | 9 |
I am amazed by some of the critical acclaim of this film. I am a fan of Sandler's earlier comedic films and feel he should have stuck with it. This is a futile film full of despicable people. You connect with no one. Sandler plays a loser character who begs for punishment, time and time again. I have no sympathy for him or any of the characters. One thing I will agree with is that this film manages to really draw you in like a drug. But otherwise its pointless drivel, bad storytelling. There is so much noise that no proper story is told. Sandler's performance is pathetic and sad as was this film. Waste of time. | 5 |
Over hyped rubbish. 3 episodes in, no idea what is going on and neither do I care. People just following the crowd. | 1 |
For some reason I liked this part better than the first. The showcasing of Vito Corleone's past portrayed by Rober De Niro was something I never knew I needed to see until I saw it. This is where we see Micheal Corleone really transfer into Don Coreloene, and seeing how he did it more chaotically than his father was chilling. The struggle of him being the Don his father was perfectly portrayed by Al Pacino and he should have won that oscar. It is so obvious that the plot is well thought out because everything connects so well and watching this part connects all the dots. The ending scenes of the Godfather trilogy always make my jaw drop and this was no exception. I loved the ending, it just made me even more curious about what would happen next. To all the people who saw this movie in the theaters, you are lucky. | 10 |
It's a lot of fun but it does have a lot of issues. The first part of this film is very cliche and very boring. In fact, a lot of this story feels very cliched. It was easy to start predicting which story beats the story was going to hit and it usually hit those beats with the climax being kind of the exception. Ryan Reynolds is definitely having fun in the role. He has this infectious charm that makes it hard to hate him and while his performance is by no means amazing, he is definitely trying. The other actors are fine but I didn't really like Taika Waititi's performance. Usually I love his performances but this time, it felt like he wasn't even trying which sucked because he is the main villain. The references and cameos were definitely the best part of the film. Well, some of the cameos were fun while some of them felt really REALLY awkward. If you have seen the movie, then I think you know which people I am talking about. They all felt natural and not forced at all. I won't spoil the cameos but there is one doing the final battle that got a genuine laugh out of me. Speaking of humor, it is pretty hit or miss. Some of it is pretty hilarious and some of it really falls flat on its face. Another big thing the film has is its climax. It doesn't make a lot of sense but it's just a ton of fun. There are plenty of moments throughout this film that were just fun and the climax dials it up to 11. It's just a shame it takes a little while for it to become REALLY fun. If you enjoy video games or Reynold's style of comedy then I would definitely recommend checking this out. | 4 |
HP films are very good. But you know it is in great trouble when it's just average. While it may not be fair to compare both the series, the second installment of Fantastic Beasts crammed too much of Harry Potter in it, that it forgot about its own characters and story.
Pros The score was fantastic, the casting was perfect and it bought back a lot of memories. The action was amazing (opening sequence was one of the best I have ever seen). The visuals were gorgeous and mesmerising. The characters are lovely and honestly, the characters are the reason I watched this film.
Cons :
The entirety of the movie was sloppy and many scenes were badly executed. Some of the best characters in the first movie are not the centre of attention and are barely there in the movie. Sometimes, it felt like watching a play where there were more plots and more reveals and the movie wanted to run badly on the 'shock factor'. The chemistry between the characters was off , unlike the first film.
Final review : A wonderful movie which may have taken itself too far. Worth a watch , but watch it on 2020 along with the third film as the ending may not be satisfactory. | 7 |

From the moment this movie started it fell flat. The characterization development was not there. The plot was barely there and all over the place throughout the story. I wanted to sleep after 30 to 45 minutes because the acting was horrible and from even our seasoned favorite actors. WTH was going on within this almost THREE hours of screen time. I think a hit of acid may have helped to enjoy this movie as well as to diffuse the loud overbearing noise called music in it. Then I begin thinking to myself, "hey, maybe they dropped some LSD or constantly hitting some bowls between takes while filming because it felt like I was in a serious haze of drugs due to everything so da*n flat. (this is suppose to be humor because I do not do drugs, but I was thinking I may need something to get through this one because it was painful really really painful) Poor execution in directing as well as thoughtfulness within the story trying to be told sorta like constipation. | 1 |
I like it. It's different. The last one was different too. I'm enjoying it. | 8 |
As much as I wanted to love the newest incarnation of Batman, especially under the direction of the sharply talented Christopher Nolan, there is a gnawing imbalance to the film that makes the overall experience less than enthralling to me. In what looks obviously like the start of a new franchise, the 2005 movie spends an inordinate amount of time on the myth creation, and the first hour feels so solemn and methodical that the more interesting second hour or so in Gotham City feels rushed and telegraphed with arcane explanations of panic-inducing hallucinogens.
The problematic pacing makes the 141-minute running time seem interminable when it needs to sprint. The movie then ends almost too quickly for the dense plot that Nolan and co-writer David S. Goyer present in sometimes frustratingly cryptic strokes. Although they provide moments of deadpan humor reminiscent of "The Terminator" films, what is missing is the satirical sense and ironic nihilism that Tim Burton brought to the 1989 and 1992 Batman films. At the same time, Nolan imbues a true focused sense of dramatic purpose and atmosphere to his treatment that easily eclipses the subsequent Joel Schumacher movies.
Fortunately, Christian Bale is ideally cast in the title role primarily because he is an actor who emits a searing presence by not divulging too much about his interior life. That is exactly the quality needed to portray a loner driven by the horrific murder of his parents to penetrate the criminal mind and then ironically become a reluctant, clandestine hero. Under his cowl, he takes on Clint Eastwood's raspy vocal inflections to add to his mystique, and he brings a sinewy intelligence and quiet reserve to the conflicted millionaire Bruce Wayne. The combination works.
With a virtual Who's Who of A-listers, the supporting cast is almost too overwhelming to utilize their individual talents effectively. In a rather dastardly variation on his Jedi Master in "Star Wars - Episode 1: The Phantom Menace", Liam Neeson plays Henri Ducard, another intimidating mentor who this time, acts as an operative for a ninja vigilante group trained somewhere in the Himalayas. Neeson exhibits a palpable sense of malice in the role, though his character's return late in the film has a foreboding sense of predictable inevitability about it.
Gary Oldman, who usually specializes in screen villains, does an about-face and with genuine goodwill, plays put-upon Lt. Jim Gordon, who will become Gotham City's police commissioner someday. In his usual impeccable form, Morgan Freeman portrays Lucius Fox, the brilliant staff scientist at Wayne Enterprises who invents Batman's wardrobe and gadgetry. As Wayne's manservant Alfred, Michael Caine seems to be enjoying the humorous asides and unyielding British sense of duty in his relatively constrained role. As if he walked right off the comic-level "Dick Tracy" set, Tom Wilkinson chews a lot of scenery as the Jersey-accented crime boss Carmine Falcone.
The normally charismatic Ken Watanabe, however, is wasted in a small role as Ra's Al Ghul, the meditative head of the ninja group spouting all sorts of incomprehensible mumbo-jumbo. Cillian Murphy turns in the film's most chilling performance as the creepy psychiatrist Dr. Jonathan Crane, evoking the perfect portions of fear and loathing in a character that makes my skin crawl. Last and truly least, Katie Holmes fails to rise to the caliber of her cast mates as her perpetually girlish manner belies the driving conviction of an assistant D.A. struggling with her lifelong attraction to Wayne.
The film is not as visually resplendent as previous Batmans, though the old-meets-new vision of Gotham City is compelling thanks to Nathan Crowley's impressive set designs. Also thrilling are the scary visual effects conjured up for the hallucinogens. Not as effective is Nolan's liberal use of close-ups and quick edits, especially in the numerous fight scenes sometimes impinging on the clarity of the action presented. I just wish Nolan and Goyer were not intent on overstuffing the screenplay with so many plot threads as it became a challenge to keep everything straight by the end. | 6 |
I went in the cinema optimistic as the trailer looks really good, comedy, entertaining. But the trailer shows the only good scenes throughout the whole film, the rest I never had a bloody clue what was happening half the time, The film didn't make any sense what so ever, besides from the first 30 minutes & the dance scene which was very well performed the rest was a catastrophe.
I have to praise Margot Robbie for her performance, despite the deplorable storyline, her acting was outstanding. On the other hand Ryan Gosling's acting/performance was cheap, cheesy, & overall cringeworthy. A massive shout out to Kate McKinnon her scenes were the hilariously funny, I love her originality.
Overall not for me, as the storyline is atrociously written & didn't make sense. | 2 |
I found myself screaming and cursing at the story and characters. The first episode was like what the hell is going on? None of this makes any sense. Not a very good start. The show grew on me a little bit in the second episode, by the fifth I started to hate it and by the end I loathed it. The absolute worst for me was Dr. Smith (the character, the actress is doing a marvelous job), a demented psychopath who keeps running amok, creating havoc in the colonist camp and NOBODY seem to notice it. These people are supposed to be the best humanity has to offer, yet they don't seem to be very smart at all. At first I thought that they'll resolve this plot two-three episodes in and be done with it and get to the meat of the story. Unfortunately, this didn't happen at all, because this IS the meat of the story. The social dynamics of the Robinson family barely functions, limping its way throughout the plot. I can't honestly say what type of psychological screenings they went through to get the green light and fly together into outer space as a group. They cheat, lie, withhold information, take poor decisions and act bizarrely through the whole first season, to the point where it becomes exasperating for the viewer.
I really wish this would have been an entertaining experience, but unfortunately it was quite the opposite and several times, out of sheer frustration, I had to fast-forward scenes. The only reason I watched until the end is because I like to finish what I start.
If you really need to know the story, read the episode summaries. That's more than enough. Let's hope the second season will be better, but I'm not holding my breath. Save time and just avoid. | 2 |

Dunkirk, worst movie of Nolan's career. Dunkirk is an awful movie with a confusing non-linear story telling that didn't include any titles to direct audience in the direction of the plot. Also, there was a huge lack of dialogue so even more so the audience got lost. On the bright side the visuals were spectacular and the acting was amazing but that alone can't carry the lackluster plot and bad writing. | 4 |
URI The Surgical Strike India said, "Enough is Enough". The movie is based upon (no spoilers here), the return slap to Terrorism.
This flick, what JOSH. Vicky Kaushal, his acting, KICKASS. The background music (throughout) pulls you right into the movie. Bollywood is developing a new recipe for it's movies which are more true events, story etc. based. This I respect (and love it). Please-please, do not make the mistake of watching it on tv, screening at home-theatre / society etc. You'll miss the strong, powerful vibes it gives.
CGI - 7/10. This will take a bit of time. But we have come a long way. Things are definitely speeding up.
Peace Out! | 9 |
I love this show. I binged it in one sitting, and mashed the "next episode" button after every episode.
The most likable unlikable characters I've seen on TV recently. Quirky in the best way, and darkly seductive. It has a frank approach to teenage romance, and carries it off without shame.
I'm dearly looking forward to season two! | 9 |
EPISODE 1 SPOILERS:
I've finished the series and am slightly disappointed. I liked the premise, the music, most of the effects and the set design but the show was just hard to sit through. I also only liked 3 characters out of the 7 main ones, being number five, Klaus and Diego (I'm excluding Ben, I genuinely liked him but he was under-utilised). Reminds me of CW shows in some aspects. | 6 |
First episode had me shocked and curious, did not expect this level of special effects! Then it just continues to unrightfully depend on 'shocking' moments which are no longer shocking. Checks all the boxes that fires up all that is even remotely relatable to most Americans I guess. Excessive a.. a-amount of unnatural stu.. stu-stuttering for no reason. Story gets bland and this was an absolute waste of my time as a series/films enthousiastic. | 3 |
It deal with important thing (because of it it 3 and not less) , but it made in not interesting way, it boring, all the movie characterized by a depressive atmosphere . I disappointed with this movie. | 3 |
Sorry, not for me. Was really hoping to enjoy this. But, similar to the last highly rated whodunnit, Murder on the Orient Express, I was left feeling somewhat underwhelmed and, dare I say it, bored. Give me Lieutenant Columbo anytime over this. | 3 |
Yes, the original 'Iron Man' movie was Marvel's 'surprise hit.' They were probably going to do a sequel anyway, but I'll bet they never thought they'd be pushing so heavily towards this side of the franchise. Anyway, it's fair to say that a sequel needs to give 'the same and more' and, to be fair, 'Iron Man 2' achieves this.
It's bigger, louder, more special effects and more heroes/villains added into the mix. Personally, as a casual comic book-movie fan, I quite enjoyed it. I always thought most people did, until I read the online message boards, where it turned out that opinions were pretty divided on its merits.
So, just to let you know that there's a sizable proportion of people out there who will disagree with me when I say that it's a pretty fun romp. No, it's not Shakespeare and it doesn't really try to be. I guess it's supposed to appeal to young fans (dare I say male fans?) who will buy the obligatory Iron Man T-shirts, Iron Man lunchboxes and Iron Man pyjamas. No, I didn't buy any of those, but I still enjoyed the film.
Unlike other superheroes (think Batman, Superman and Spiderman), the 'secret' identify of our Iron Man isn't that secret, for at the end of the original film billionaire playboy Tony Stark decided to reveal to the world that he was the man in the iron mask – so to speak. Therefore, in Iron Man 2, he's an even bigger celebrity than he was simply for being the owner of a multinational arms manufacturing firm. It's actually quite nice to see an 'alter-ego' who's actually more 'ego' than anything else. Yes, he's a bit of an idiot. You probably wouldn't see Bruce Wayne getting drunk wearing the Batsuit at a party and using his Baterang to slice watermelons thrown from an adoring crowd. You see that here.
Perhaps that's Iron Man's appeal – he's a bit of a plank and we can relate to his love of adoration? He is definitely a flawed – if very lucky – individual and he makes a change from the usual brooding hermit that most superheroes are portrayed as.
Naturally, it's Robert Downey Jr's charm that carries the film through, but it's fair to give his supporting cast a mention. Naturally, seeing as the film's not called 'Iron Man and Friends' they have a lot less to do and a lot less material to work with. But they do okay to play off the star. If it's not a bit odd to say that Sam Rockwell's villain came across as a bit too 'comic-booky' for my liking (yes, I know it's a movie based on a comic book) – it just felt like he was trying a bit too hard.
I know 'Iron Man 2' has its critics and I guess it's not perfect, but it is fun. It's nearly two hours and I always think one of the true tests of a movie is whether if feels like its runtime. And, in my opinion, Iron Man 2 flies by like a man in a yellow and red metal suit.
Bust out the popcorn and enjoy. | 8 |
This is an entertaining film with a great cast but the hype had me expecting more. The cast is great but none of them had much of an opportunity to shine because of the limited screen time. I love Daniel Craig but he was the one character I didn't buy at all - it just felt like bad casting.
There was some commentary on immigration that felt like typical Hollywood preaching but it ended up as feeling entirely forced and out of place.
Had I gone into this movie with more modest expectations, I probably would've enjoyed it quite a bit. But given the hype and crazy good reviews, I was waiting the entire movie for it to get to the good stuff. | 6 |
To oblige artistic expression to insert certain directives is to restrain it. Never liked it.
There was a moral time, now it's a woke time, it's LGBT time, it's anti-racism time.
So, you have to have all of these things packed and impressed in what is considered present art, either in writing, cinema, you name it, it's imperative. That was a thing you shouldn't have to expect in a series of this kind, in HBO, in the expression of George Martin. Instead you have baroque wigs, pretentious false wigs, a prominence of African ethnicity, LGBT actors that want to be called by plural and a sensation of something being forced and artificiality.
You have great costumes and scenarios but they should be represented as 200 years more archaic than Game of Thrones. Not to mention the dialogues and the characterization. Again, false wigs, bland acting, out-of-place sensation, plastic. There's no real tension, theater, drama, realism as in the first 5 seasons of Game of Thrones, there's this beautiful politically (woke) correct package perfectly hollow with pivots that are pretending to act... for a very specific audience.
I had to stop viewing each episode at some point not because I was astonished but because I was bored, frustrated and disappointed! This is literally, a «travesti» of the first seasons of Game of Thrones. | 3 |
Very slow plot, unrealistic scenes, and a really boring scenario, I wonder why it has so good ratings... | 5 |
The only reason this movie got the fame and awards it got is because it is a korean movie. And let me be clear here, not just specifically korean but literally any non-US movie on par with Parasite in terms of quality would have been as successful as Parasite anyway; with a bit of luck of course. Actually not just a bit of luck; they would need all the stars in universe to align as well because that's what happened with Parasite. It is nothing but an average movie that only got this boosted because some people decided to take a look outside the rock they have been living under for over decades and they saw this average movie and thought "That's a lot better than what I expected!". Domino effect followed and today, we got this movie that's overrated and predictable. No different than your average "ThRiLLeR" movie.
P. S.: The only reason I went this hard on the movie is because the internet went so good on it and the movie got more than it deserved anyway so keep calm, the movie is still watchable; when drunk. | 6 |
Tarantino delves into the Manson murders in the summer of '69 and reimagines the gory events we all know about via the imaginary characters of fading leading man Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his not very similar-looking stuntman, DIY guy and buddy-buddy Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt). It turns out that Rick lives one door down from the infamous house rented out that summer by Roman Polanski and his heavily pregnant wife Sharon Tate and the one to which Charles Manson ordered his blindly obedient followers to slaughter the inhabitants.
Yes, Tarantino gets to write his own ending which unsurprisingly offers up its own share of blood and gore (and flames!), but the film is a long time getting there and in truth is much more about his trying to evoke the period and lifestyles of the characters at his disposal, mixing in the real with the imaginary. So we get vignettes of stars around at the time, some unflattering, like Bruce Lee, acting the big boss, boasting about his martial arts abilities until Pitt's Cliff puts him on his behind and the radiant Miss Tate enjoying a day out in L. A. where she takes in her own movie, the very leery-looking Dean Martin Matt Helm vehicle "The Wrecking Crew". There are also cameo appearances by the likes of Steve McQueen and Roman Polanski, both of whom had connections to the real-life victims that terrible night.
However, it's through the invented characters of DiCaprio and Pitt that Tarantino really drives the story and gets to indulge his fascination with the era. We see DiCaprio's Dalton struggling to stop his career slide by taking parts as the "heavy" in a new TV western series and beefcake roles in cheap Italian movies, arranged for him by his florid new manager played by Al Pacino. Nevertheless, until his dramatic pyrotechnic entry at the climax, his character doesn't directly impact on the events leading up to the attack.
That's left to Pitt's likeable sidekick character who picks up a young Manson follower and drives her back to Spohn's farm, a one-time movie-lot where the now ancient owner has let Manson and his disciples take over the place in exchange for sexual favours from one of their number. In probably the best scenes of the film, we see Pitt confronted by the zombie-like gang as he checks up on the old man in a clear harbinger of things to come.
It goes without saying that Tarantino nails the reproduction of the period, with the cars, fashions, boulevards, buildings, music and in particular the pastiches of film and TV shows of the time. Rare to see a movie though, centring on the Manson Family, with nothing on the soundtrack by the Beatles, nor come to that Dylan, The Doors or Hendrix while the only Stones song inexplicably played was the then four year old "Out Of Time", especially when you consider that the group was well into its Satanic period by this time. Mind you, I am partial to a little Paul Revere and the Raiders from time to time.
So, for me, a curate's egg of a movie. I felt it was too long, self-indulgent and over-the-top especially at the finish but the acting and cinematography was good throughout, even if I didn't detect much of the sharp dialogue I'd normally expect from Tarantino.
I'll close by stating the obvious, that I do wish this alternative history was a true one... | 6 |
Is the story background the Kashmir conflict or the North eastern conflict? Since both these conflicts are so different, It has caused lots of confusion.
The conflict in this movie is not about Kashmir, Its about the conflict in the North East (Assam Region). They speak Assamese and several mention of the North east. However, they do go to Ladakh (This may have caused some confusion along with the allegory to Sufism).
If this was about Kashmir, then its a terrible depiction since the Kashmir conflict is primarily due to Pakistan and Its terrorists operating in Kashmir Not home grown resistance (There is that part too...but they are very small). And Pakistan loves to portray the Kashmir problem as an indigenous groups uprising. This is more like the home grown resistance from the Indian state of Assam and that area.
In India where there are so many terrorist bombs going off in different places so frequently, people in India have little patience for being sympathetic to the alleged "victims".
In India, everyone is a minority. A Tamil person has his/her own grievances, so does a person from Benga and Punjab and hundred other "Victims". So when you have a nation that is so diversified and yet pluralistic and democratic, where different ethnic groups have their representatives in the Parliament, if any minority has an issues, they need to use that legitimate process to address their grievances. So the rest of the minorities (The rest of India) are not going to be too kind to the "we are the ONLY minority and we are the only one with a Problem and hence we want to secede" groups.
for me, this movie was a total WTF! No wonder this movie failed miserably in India.
But if you watch this movie like its happening in some far far away land and not based on any real world conflicts, then you may have a movie here. | 3 |
Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) plane to raise an army of wizards to rule over muggles. Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) seeks Newt Scamander's (Eddie Redmayne) help to stop him.
There are so many problems in this movie. The main problem is the lack of a great villain. Johnny Depp, at his historical lows, is far far away from Ralph Fiennes' Voldemort. The plot is so boring and it is obvious that there will be no progress until the last film of the Saga. This movie has to considered as a "passing movie" until the grand finale.
The only positive note is Jude Law performance, ambiguous and intriguing, and the great VFX.
My rating: 5.8/10. | 6 |
In spite of a lot of unbelievable critics , in fact you are facing with a usual movie! In a sentence you can't ever put your self in a high level stress. You see no blood and the important point is you are not watching the true war! | 7 |
Acting is wonderful of characters as the make emotion and all the problems in asparaints feels relatable... | 7 |
We've seen horror movies with spirits, we've seen possessions, we've seen the gore and the psychological allegories of grief that ghosts and spirits bring to a movie. Talk to me doesn't really break from the rules of the genre, but modernizes them and works them perfectly.
I'm not a fan of jumpscary movies with loud noises and ghosts appearing and reappearing to go "BOOH!" in your face. So imagine how grateful I was to see that the scares in this movie are actually mostly well earned and tense and meaningful. This movie is a horror drama, with the horror and the drama blended together in such a way where you don't really know which is the main genre of this story. It scares you (yes it does) but it's also so rich of meaning, of emotions. It uses horror tropes to describe real aspects of depression, and loneliness, and clinging to the past, and wanting an artificial relief from your pain (like drugs, for example, which are very much part of the theme). You wanna look away but you also really care about the characters. The performances were amazing, and I'm not talking about the screaming and the possessions and the body convulsions: there is a lot of details and nuances and little things that help you get into their minds and what they feel and do. The ending is bone-chilling and surprising but also simple and understandable. The only bad parts of the movie were probably the horror cliché soundtrack and some unsatisfying character moments with the boyfriend. But overall very elegant and dynamic and effective and honest, really scary. Recommended for the fans of the genre especially. | 8 |
Confusing... messy... doesn't make sense on why Newt has to be the one doing Dumbledore's work...
Seriously, they should have done an Indiana Jones concept but with fantastic beast.
I do love Jude Law as Dumbledore (I love Jude Law in general), but I am okay with him not even appearing in this movie. Would have been better if we were taken to a different and more magical setting than just the same cities and Hogwarts. | 2 |
The Fabelmans just might be too personally centered and therefore come off noticeably self-indulgent. That said there's an interesting core here. It may be just too much for those not overly invested in a kind of Spielberg coming of age. Too long and drawn out for that casual viewer. Still, folks will likely look back with affection on this years from now as putting in what was initially seen as more than what was succinctly needed for a truly unified whole. Time will tell, yet it often felt boring between important segue ways and moments Watching it, presently, I felt the need to FFW between parts. Somehow I know there's more I should pay attention to. This is why I will wait and give it another look. I think there will be more than a few having a similar outlook initially. | 5 |
Finally you you have a movie on par with Dark knight/Dark knight rises. Intricate and perfect amalgamation of the reality and lead's perspective. | 10 |
Oh come on! This is a decent enough movie, I'll give you that, but the outpouring of reverence over it is excessive.
It's a chase movie in space.
In fact it's Captain Philips in space (that too is somewhat over-rated).
I'm not going to go into great detail here because it would be too easy to spoil it for those of you who have yet to make up your own mind.
I saw it (on strong recommendation) on an iMAX screen. (My first (and possibly last) such commercial exploitation.) Sure, iMAX is bigger, and LOUDER. But is it better? Nope.
Anyway, back to Gravity.
Sandra Bullock puts in a very good shift, but Oscar worthy? Surely someone in the movie PR world is having a laugh about that.
Buzz Lightyear provides solid support.
The star of the show though are the special effects. It is brilliantly realised. Stunningly. Almost unimaginably so.
But that doesn't make it engaging.
It is exciting from time to time. But in between the exciting bits (whisper this) it's a little bit boring.
Just a little bit. But. It. Is. A. Little. Bit. Boring.
But hey, go see it, make your own mind up. What do I know? I'm in the minority on this one and people who's creative judgement I trust implicitly have raved about it.
But me and my better half just thought it was good (but a little bit boring).
(Just a little bit.) | 7 |
They say #Bollywood doesn't produce thrillers and then there comes a movie which amazes you in every aspect be it acting, storytelling, direction or music.
#VasanBala is truly a master of storytelling, his quirky ways are just brilliant. #RajkummarRao is just fab, an actor who can do any role very easily. #RadhikaApte #HumaQureshi in their roles are just perfect in their roles. #SikandarKher in his cameo is terrific. Music & BGM by #VarunGrover is just fab. The hand to hand combat between Huma & Raj is just a scene which is to marvel at for its execution.
A movie which post #Andhadhun is one of the best thriller movies made and it should be watched. | 10 |
This movie was recommended to me by some of my friends and family, so I decided to take it on their word. Far from being the typical romantic comedy I thought it was going to be, it filled me with a wide array of emotions. Through the beginning and the middle, the intertwining of charming and funny moments along with the sad and romantic ones gave this film a lighter feeling. I felt the emotions of the characters and would reminisce of times I've felt the same.
Toward the end, however, the light, funny moments were replaced by thought-provoking, serious moments. The romance and sadness was apparent on-screen, but much deeper than that, it made me think about my own situations, my own feelings, much akin to the film's. This film does what many romantic/romantic comedies do not - although it IS an impractical situation, it teaches or re-teaches lessons in life that let us grow, mature, and in turn, let's us be more "us" - human. | 9 |
I like biography movies, I watched this movie because it got oscar. I like the movie, but I think it's a bit overrated. There are dozens of movies like this. | 7 |
It was interesting returning to this movie as it feels very out of place for a Marvel movie, in both good and bad ways. It´s more of a spy movie than mindless action, but I´m having a hard time taking the serious tone serious in a franchise that produces mainly brainless action. The action is well made but I never really engaged with the serious parts. It´s an entertaining movie no doubt and definitely a standout for Marvel.
Steve Rogers aka captain America is having a hard time reforming to the way of the S. H. I. E. L. D organization. New problems find Steve in form of old enemies and a new one, the Winter Soldier.
So, where my primary problem lies with this movie is that I don't feel engaged in the more serious tone the movie was going for. It´s interesting to see a Marvel movie trying to go a bit deeper with its characters and their feelings and places in the world, but I find it mostly uninteresting. While I like the character chemistry and the highlighting of lesser used characters, I´m having a hard time really believing it and taking it seriously. Maybe it´s because it´s a Marvel movie, this movie sticks so much out in a franchise with mostly brainless action and fun comments and it feels so weird to see these character become a bit real, maybe too real. I also found the dialogue just fine, in a movie where it should have wowed me more. So, I had a hard time engaging with the idea of the movie, but that doesn't make it less entertaining and has a great genre change from your typical Marvel movie.
The action is so well done and framed in this movie. It´s not always shot the best, but mostly you really feel every hit and gets to see all the cool moves here. The fighting choreography is so great, tense and works together with great cutting to really make punches feel superhuman. This combined with great sound design and enhanced by the score creates this really brutal felling action movie.
I had forgotten how good the score was. While it isn't always memorable, it creates these great small sound bites for character actions and melts together with the score to really elevate actions. I also really loved the theme of the winter soldier that is both haunting and iconic. Henry Jackman really hit it home with this one.
Speaking of characters, I found the character interactions so good and natural in this movie. It still stands I find it a bit too much, but the character chemistry is really good. It´s nice to see these character talking together like they are real humans and hearing their problems. Black Widow and Captain America really gets to bond about each other's weird past and Furry get´s to really shine in this movie. The movie also introduces the Falcon and Winter Soldier which both add a lot to the movie. The Winter Soldier is such a great character. He is such a menace and feel like such a powerhouse of a villain. My favorite performance in this was Chris Evans as Steve Rogers. He really made a likeable and lovable Captain America and really sold his inner conflicts. I also really loved both Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Furry and Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, who brought a lot of fun to their characters.
There is a lot to like about this movie, and on another day, I might rate it a little higher. It´s great action, spy drama and character interactions all throughout. Sadly, the movie felt too grand for itself to me, and I had a hard time really latching on to the spy drama aspect. No doubt an entertaining and well-made action movie, but making it more interesting would have really sold it to me. | 7 |
This is an amazing show about a dysfunctional family with powers, not a superhero show. Keeping that in mind, this show is a roller coaster of seriousness, sometimes it's silly and some other times it's dead serious. You have to know that in order to enjoy the show. They might fight, or they might dance! You never know, but that's part of the magic in it... | 9 |
I sat all the way through this as I like to finish films in case I'm judging the start harshly and missing a classic. After 40 minutes I started looking up reviews which is never a good sign but as they were so positive I was expecting the film to really pick up the pace. Unfortunately it was more of the same with characters I couldn't relate to or have empathy for. I love music films but this did nothing for me personally. | 5 |
I quit watching the Academy Awards a long time ago because it started choosing losers like this. Even the Producers (or whoever decides to lease movies to streaming services) had little faith that this movie could win BEST PICTURE. It's on Prime Video instead of being re-released to theatres. I suffered through the first 30 minutes & quit. Then i decided i should try to finish it to write this review. I JUST CAN'T DO IT. Even though i like Michelle Yeoh, this was not a superior performance.. Ke Huy Quan has a similar look to Jackie Chan & also looked a lot like him in the fighting sequence at the IRS office. I don't hate his Academy win. For me, this is nothing more than a B movie which the Academy now seems to champion. | 2 |
I can only presume people who are rating this so highly are just missing Game of Thrones. Nothing is explained properly, it is rushed and the acting is ridiculously over the top. It's painful to watch. Save yourself the trouble. Please!!! | 1 |
The movie expands the Harry Potter universe in the movie scene. Even though it may be an amazing thing for the fans it may not be that interesting for people who do not have any attachments to the series. The movie itself is very basic which falls short of making the viewers feel excited. Also, even though the "beasts" adds a nice lore, there is nothing more than them. Even there is other contents regarding lore they are not covered and it feels lacking. It may be done on purpose the create hype for future movies, however, I believe that it could have been more than that. All these together leaves us with a rather unmemorable movie especially for people who are not big fans of the Harry Potter universe. | 6 |
Rotten Tomatoes always sucks.. Who cares what the fu××ing ratings saying? I enjoyed the the show. It was a like a 8 hrs of adventure for me.The Background Score was fu**ing amazing and I'm happy to see Henry Cavill as Witcher.He is amazing in this role. 😍😍 The only mistake i did that i was watching the whole show comparing to "Game Of Thrones".. Although that didn't dissappointed me.. Because GOT's level is extraordinary..
I'll recommend this show to everyone; if you have no problems with Extreme violence, nudity... | 9 |
At the beginning of the episode it didn't look good but in the middle of the episode to the end it was great and made me want to know more deeply about chernobyl | 9 |
This film has some clever ideas but overall its not as clever as it thinks it is.... I predicted a lot of plot twists before they happened which hindered me from liking it more than I did.. however I wasn't overly into the characters either...
Also, for a film that's only 90 minutes long it seemed like a lot longer...
I wouldn't say it's a bad film, and as so many have written here; your mind may be blown.. But there was no big reveal for me, saw it all coming...
Overall: good, but certainly not great.. | 6 |
So, I really love the fantasy genre, and I SO wanted to like this! There are so many fantasy books that should be made into movies/series. (Like the books by Joe Abercrombie, Brian Lee Durfee, John Gwynne, Chris Wooding).
I´ve tried watching the first episodes three times now during the last two years, and this time I made it through a few more episodes and quite enjoyed it. But when the Porcupine-guy showed up in ep 4 or something, I gave it up. It started reminding me of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and that just made the whole experience way too "young adult fantasy-like". I wish it was a bit more dark, less singing and always; more blood. Cavill is good though, and so is miss Chalotra, and I might even give it a new chance next year.. | 5 |
The first season was really great. Solid performances and great story. Score: 9/10
The second season has a good start but devolves fast into a weak plot. Character development seems to have stalled. The new additional main character comes off as uninvolving and flat to me. I have forgot about continuing seeing this season several times, not good... Score: 6/10. | 7 |
Crisp n clear, very well executed by cast n director. A great tribute to valor of our army N leadership. Bharat Mata Ki Jai... | 10 |
To balance he hype: If you like "talking heads" = 10/10. Meaning 1 hour in total filled with exposition - explaining the obvious. Should've been distilled and edited harsher/kill your darlings. Weakest MI-movie. Director change needed, when getting complaint. 1 star for Tom's amazing stunts. 1 star for the newcomer female main character. The MI-recipe is getting old faaast. Give me a rubber mask and a count-down-timer. Jeesh. Get creative, fire this repeating director and get some young-blood in the chair. Watch the latest "The Flash" and learn from it. Humor is not a bad thing, we long for self awareness. Stale waters stink, and so does the lazy directing... Tom is a legend, make him talk less and DO more. Overrated. | 2 |
Remember when people could tell a story in a two hour film? Even sweeping epics like Lawrence of Arabia (one of my favorites) managed to do it in three and a half hours.
But no, in the era of streaming everything must be stretched into a series, albeit a "limited" one (whatever that means). This show wasn't bad by any means, it just dragged. Why on earth anyone though stretching a 240 page book into 6-7 hours of screen time was a good idea is beyond me. There is a good two hour movie hiding behind endless and visually dreary chess montages.
But for some curious reason it also feels rushed. It doesn't handle the passing of time well, and Beth's relationship to other characters makes little to no sense.
The little girl playing Beth as a child is really good, the boy from Love Actually is woefully miscast, and the rest of the supporting cast are quite nondescript. Anya Taylor Joy as Beth is good, but it takes more than dozens of close ups of her gigantic doe eyes to save this series. And it wouldn't be a Netflix show if it didn't have not one, but two gay subplots. The virtue signaling is getting quite ridiculous. | 6 |
Netflix broke almost all the characters, reworked almost all the stories, and it turned out to be disgusting. the huge potential of a complex world, not black and white, has become ridiculous. I'm not sure the writers have read the books. the script looks as if it was written by one schoolboy on the retelling of another. I can forgive the ridiculous graphics, the crooked sound, the mediocre acting, but I can't forgive the destruction of the story and the idea. you shouldn't have done this show. the disappointment of the decade. | 1 |
I waited for this movie for months. Me and my sister anticipated it so much we couldn't stop talking about it. Let's just say, when I watched it, I was not even close to impressed. I swear, there was at least 4 people snoring inside that cinema. The ending was really forced imo, all that gore only at the end isn't necessary. It was bad from the get go. | 4 |
