One of the jewels in the crown of the 70s cinema, The Godfather tells the story of the Corleone family. Itialian immigrants, caring people, and mafioso. From the first frame in which you see Marlon Brando's face lit from in front and above like a dark angel to the last frame of the last film in which Al Pacino's wineglass falls out of his hand as he slumps, the family gone and destroyed. The Godfather is the holy trinity of mob films. Every film after it has its influences in it, and, much like some people look towards the Star Wars trilogy for an answer to every question, many people do so for The Godfather.

Robert McKee says that this is the golden age of TV; I, for one, is more than willing to agree with him. Even Stanley Kubrick recognized, back in the 80's, that television had a unique opportunity to convey stories with greater depth, due to the longer hours, than a film could ever do. Only now, with such great shows as "Carnivalé", "Desperate Housewifes", "Lost" and of course "24", it seems that TV shows has reached the psychological depth that transcends, and therefore indeed makes them important pieces of art. One ought to seek out the shows mentioned above, and in particular "24", for it is perhaps the most tight-knitted storytelling on TV today; perhaps ever. The most incredible thing about it, is not only the way the stories and the characters are presented, but also the way the show evolves. Season 1 is perhaps the most truthful, and one can appreciate how the writers, directors, editors and actors seems to find their style throughout. Season 2 is the "now-let's-show-them-some-really-fantastic-stuff" season. Everything is bigger and more on the edge. Season 3 is the stretcher: How far can we take the characters and the plot, before it turns into overkill? They almost milk the concept too much, but in the end it holds up. Season 4 represents the coming of age of the show. Here all the pieces are placed, so therefore the ordiance can be surprised by some of the counteracts that some of the characters make. Season 5 is the piece de resistance, and perhaps the best of all of them. Shocking to the bone. Fans that has stayed on this long, will never forget this season. Season 6 has been slaughtered by so many, but this one is really the "grown-up" version of the show. It seems to be the most realistic of the seasons, if one can apply that term here, since it really seems to play against all the previous conceptions of what have gone before regarding torture, terrorists, national threats, deception etc. "24" is a masterpiece a whole, and I dare anyone to turn off their television, or DVD, once they have watched Jack in action!

This film was hilarious. I laughed more than I have during a movie in a long time. The commentary about the publishing industry and Hollywood was spot on. The acting was great and character development was well done. People in theater were laughing loudly throughout the film. That is the first time I've been to a film for adults where people were laughing constantly. I loved every moment and wanted the movie to just keep going, will watch again when released for streaming. My favorite part of the film was the commentary around how Americans feel like being "more thuggish" is more black and "real". Often times you see this trope. I want to see a film about stories that haven't been told before. Stop doing the same thing over and over Hollywood. This film is a nice break from the typical film.

I made an hour into this before the nauseating preaching, posturing and virtue signalling of this ensemble cast of self entitled sanctimonious fools became too much. It starts okay and there are some big names but the politics is slapped on so hard and the 'right on' moralising and blatant agenda that the idiotic writer is promoting, is so present that it begins to stick in your throat. The poor, butter wouldn't melt, hard working, undocumented (yeah that means illegal) immigrant must be saved at all costs from this gaggle of horrible and evil white individuals. Johnson really is a talentless hack and this film is as jarring and as awful as the horrific accent that Daniel Craig woefully attempts throughout the film. It's like someone has asked him to create something that is a cross between Tom Hank's Forrest Gump and Val Kilmer's Doc Holliday. When people talk about Hollywood looking down at unenlightened riff raff and feeling that they need to educate us all, this is the kind of vehicle that they use. You can just imagine them congratulating themselves at how clever and virtuous they are at the wrap parties. Self absorbed trash that thinks itself really insightful but is nothing more than a clenched fist in the air. How this fool of a writer/director continues to make films is beyond me.

I was told to watch this year's ago but have just gotten round to it. This has got great reviews but for me it jumps around too much and is too absorbed in itself. It's convoluted and clever for the sake of being clever. There's good performances but it seems experimental. I like it because it's Carrey but I think it's pretentious. So it's getting a 7...it's not on my list of movies to watch before you die but it's got a brilliant Title.

This is a badly made, poor remake of Bimalda's classic Parineeta. The story is based on Sarat Chandra's book of the same name and it is a distortion of the original. Well one can appreciate some degree of creativity but not sham creativity. The acting by everyone is affected and the entire movie is a sham. Shekar's father's choice of words in abusing Lolita ( Balan ) sounds cheap and morbid and destroys the spirit of the original story. Again the scene where Shekhar ( Saif ) slaps Lolita is quite out of place with the flow of the movie and the characters, is quite jarring to the senses, and could have been easily avoided. Similarly the sex scene between Saif and Balan is quite unbecoming the movie and a cheap gimmick to attract the audience. When a creative work is not faithful to the original and destroys it's spirit, the work falls apart. The song "piyu bole" is quite OK. Another silver lining in the dark cloud of this movie is the scene where Saif stands up for himself and rebels against his father. This is a positive departure from the original and deserves credit. On these counts this movie deserves 3 stars. The song and dance by Rekha smacks of artifice and it is a put on. The song is tuneful but I remember having heard it somewhere before and if Iam not mistaken the tune appears to have been plagiarized. Well, agreed the times have changed from then to now. But then this movie is not even reflective of the modern times. This is what happens when the modern Bollywood film makers get increasingly obsessed with impressing the NRIs and grabbing the lucrative NRI entertainment market. Such movies end up neither belonging to India nor to any other part of the world.

We were bored to death halfway through. All the fight scenes were blown so far out of proportion that it wasn't even close to enjoyable to watch.

This is the movie archetype which is highly praised by critics, fans and not fans, and you only recommend it to others full heartedly because you want them to suffer for more than two hours like you did. Or to give them the chance of a lifetime to enjoy this masterpiece.

Complete and utter dross. I honestly couldn't have cared whether our boys were killed or not as the film failed to stir the slightest inkling of emotion. A rating of 8 is bringing IMDB's ratings into disrepute.
1
I don't understand why Bollywood fan guys give ratings according to the cast they like or what production it's from, it's nothing more than typical Indian drama and sab tv comedy serials are way better than this, guys please see the content and give ratings based on how much you enjoyed the show don't do f

This movie has one of great action sequences, but Acting was poor... Emotions were just exaggerated and not natural, Bangladeshi accent was not at all accurate not even any Bengali speaks like that Bihari people speaks Bengali like that. Hindi songs? Kumar Shanu? On Bangladeshi house? Even West Bengal people watch Bangladeshi tv show and listen to their songs. Basically Action top notch and everything else trash...

This movie is better than Kabir Singh 1000 times, Abhay Deol was magnificent. Can watch it again

Completely new to The Witcher, it did take a few episodes to get into but once I did, I loved it. It's not the 'new game of thrones', it does well on its own and doesn't need a comparison. The acting is excellent and the story line intriguing. The 3 main actors are immersed in their characters and the bard brings a comedy element. I am looking forward to season 2.

I was bored today and wanted to catch a movie. It was quite a shock when i found out Ironman II was playing. I was under the impression it was going to release on the 7th of May. Great!!I queued up and saw it, blessing my lucky stars! Wow!It's amazing to see the number of actors joining the directors club. We knew Jon Favreau was good when we saw 'Elf'. He just keeps on getting better. This is phenomenal. I am afraid this movie is not for 'artsy' type. Girls and refined folks! Advice for y'all! Keep away. This ain't your scene! This is a plain and simple hardcore action movie with a great story and even greater action. Mind blowing action! Both the movies have great scripts. Favreau is lucky with that one. And awesome actors playing them. I am not gonna give away the story. I recommend you see for yourself. If ever there was a 'Phoenix' in Hollywood, its Robert Downey Jr. A decade ago he was convicted and imprisoned. The only thing going for him was Ally Macbeal. Hollywood had written him off. Now he's headlining two big franchises. Tony Stark and Sherlock Holmes. Speaks volumes about his quality. He rose from his ashes. The other 'Phoenix' being Micky Rourke. He's just awesome as 'Whiplash'. I think i will add some 'Vankoism' in my vocabulary when i criticize any software...'Thees sooftwer ees sheeet' in a Russian accent. I know i didn't give much of a review because i don't want to prejudice any potential viewer. All i am going to say is 'You will not be disappointed'. I leave you with that note and let you judge for yourself....

There is no such place in 100km radius of Dhaka city. How!!!!!

I imagine the reason people review this so highly is basically because it's a Spielberg film. Nothing more. Professional critics dare give it a low score which spills over onto IMDb reviews so of course everyone fawns over it. It's basically a look back at Spielberg's own childhood and tells how he fell in love with film. In between all this is a family secret that's so obvious you see it almost immediately. I'm sure Spielberg loved to go back into his past and reimagine his child and young adulthood but for outsiders it's completely dull. It doesn't focus enough on the look and feel of the era, taking the viewer themself back to that time as Scorsese tends to do. No. It's just all about Sammy (Spielberg) and his idiotic dad, and crazy mum. Self obsessed nonsense. Total borefest.

If the underlying logic is missing, the story overly simplistic and weak, then spending 160 million on production isn't going to make it a great movie. The potential is huge but the end result feels lacking. This may well could have been a real masterpiece with a bit more thoughtfulness and work. It has some interesting science wrapped around a meager plot. It may well have sky high ambitions, very good production value, actors and cgi but the underlying script is just very weak. It lacks even the most basic logic. How this can be considered as intelligent and philosophical is beyond me. The science is heavily dumbed-down and simplified, presumably to appeal to a wide audience. The overall script is extremely simplistic. The philosophical aspect shallow and empty. The whole is wrapped into a fantastic presentation but ultimately a hollow experience. Matt Damon gives his worst performance to date (blame the script). Anne Hathaway looks lost the entire time and completely out of place. Matthew Mcconaughey flies the spacecraft like hes doing arcade games, the only thing missing is the occasional 'yeahaaaa!' like a cowboy. I applaud the ambition but overall it's a mess. A mess with silver linings. BUT STILL WORTH THE WATCH.

One of the best Marvel movies. Had most of the Avengers in it, with the exception of Thor and Hulk, the most powerful. Still, the characters they did have were favorites, and they introduced a couple of more. Great film, and the Iron Man/Captain America interactions were great.

I have to admit, after seeing the first trailer for Twisted Metal I was less than thrilled. It looked cheesy and not well made. The acting looked abysmal and over the top. I am so glad to say this is not the case. This show is the biggest surprise of the year for me. My wife and I had the best time watching it. It is absolutely bonkers in the best possible way. We were laughing out loud every episode. Also the action while over the top at times is great each episode. The characters are well written and fun to follow each episode. The best part of the show is Will Arnett as sweet tooth. He knocks it out of the park with his psychopathic charisma. Give this show a chance to catch its stride and you'll never look back. One of the best surprises so far in 2023.

Jhund is an outstanding movie. Jhund is a milestone in hindi cinema and a new benchmark in filmmaking for bollywood. It is raw and it's real and it brilliantly portrays the other India which is marginalized...football is just a means to convey the message. The real hero of this movie is Nagraj Manjule. Hats off to him for his screenplay, direction and casting. Life in the slum is raw and hits you hard especially in first 15-20 mins. Acting by the entire cast is outstanding. And finally never seen AB is this avatar - restrained, controlled and grounded performance...simply loved him. But the surprise package of the movie is lead character portrayed by newcomer Ankush Gedam. Everyone should watch thos movie once to appreciate Nagraj Manjule's work.

Season 1 is really good. Season 2 is not as good as season 1 but still good. The action scenes are the best aspects of this show. This and Daredevil are the best superhero tv series out there. Big shame they have both been cancelled.

Seriously this is what they give us as a main Annabelle comes home haunted house movie- my five year old could have written a better script let's be honest this conjuring universe has become a conjuring cash grab.

This film seemed directed by an amateur. I don`t understand why it got such great reviews. It's kinda bad (not actually terrible, but almost). Flaky flaky. The camera work seems old and the acting isn't anything to write home about. Bill Murray does ok. He isn't being the off-the-wall character he usually plays, but his smirks are quite endearing. She cries a lot, although we can't be sure why. She's obviously not comfortable with her husband's job and the people he deals with, but, didn't she know that before. They have been married for two years already. In any case, her problem is not Japan or his job. They're just not made for each other. The ending was ok because it was "real". They couldn't really have gotten closer together. Still, a weak film all along.

It was a struggle to get through this movie and I love space movies. But this was just wow. Would never watch again.

Uri: The Surgical Strike - This film is allegedly based on the real life surgical strikes by the Indian Army on the terrorist camps in 2016 in a bid to avenge the loss of lives of the soldiers who died in Uri. It takes off in a scintillating manner with the introduction of Major Vihaan Shergill (Vicky Kaushal) and his colleagues and soon introduces us to his family and the background why he must take up a desk job away from his border responsibilities. A slew of characters enter until the stage is set for the crisply orchestrated Uri siege resulting in a personal loss for Vihaan and he must return to his passion, this time with vengeance. It was a fabulous build up until the interval that kept us at the edge of the seat, but like most films of 2018, Uri goes downhill in the second half. Indeed, time had to be devoted to demonstrate the planning for the strikes and the decision makers' deliberations were legitimate, but director Aditya Dhar spent too much of screen time in admiration and adulation of the government actors, leaving no stone unturned to make Uri a great advertisement for the ruling party. The timing of the film's release is essential as it clearly aims at glorifying the government's courage with an obvious motive and at some time midway, loses focus of the army's valour. It does keep the interest and thrill alive till the end, but fails to tie in several loose ends, define numerous characters and their background and incidentally, Vihaan's personal vendetta becomes secondary. Vicky Kaushal gives a fantastic performance and gets support from Yami Gautam, Swaroop Sampat, Paresh Rawal, Rajit Kapoor and Kirti Kulhari. Uri finishes on a high no doubt, but sans the goosebumps and patriotism that it was perhaps meant to induce in us.

Self indulgent. If the story were portrayed in chronological order it would be deemed trite. Neither of the principal characters is particularly appetizing; they lack depth and developed characters other than superficial traits. The secondary characters other than serving the need of explaining the memory erasure do not drive the narrative and serve mainly as filler. Kaufman uses film as a form of freudian analysis instead of seeing a psychiatrist. He might write better screenplays after having been analyzed. On the other hand he might quit screen writing altogether if he completed analysis.

Captain America: Civil War is a lot of fun. This film expertly juggles action, drama, humor and multiple character storylines in a way that almost makes you almost forget that this is the longest Marvel movie to date. The plot is compelling and the actors play well off of each other. The ending isn't as satisfying as I had hoped it would be, and you have to have seen at least Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Avengers: Age of Ultron to fully understand what is going on, but overall this is one of the best movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

As the daughter of a man who fought in WW2, together with all other male relatives in our family, I was anxious to see this film which should have been both an emotional and educational experience. Sadly for us it was a disappointment and left us wondering exactly why the film is called "Dunkirk". There are good performances and some emotional scenes, particularly at the beginning of the film. But the time line was so confusing and the beach was so empty considering that there were well over 300,000 men awaiting evacuation. And where were the 800+ small boats which sailed back and forward over a period of 8 days and, together with the larger British destroyers and merchant ships, saved almost 340,000 soldiers. We saw endless air battles which were beautifully filmed but weren't exciting or effective. Finally the music - Hans Zimmer is a wonderful composer of film music and his creation for this film was effective. But why so loud and so much? It was almost impossible to hear some of the text and I'm astonished that a director of the caliber of Nolan thought that this would add to the tension. Sometimes silence says far more than the constant background of very loud music. I presume that many of these things won't bother a younger audience but I believe that the story of Dunkirk deserved to be more accurate. The most annoying thing was the fact that in the brief introduction to the film, where there is an explanation as to the situation of the trapped soldiers, the enemy surrounding the soldiers is not named - they are just 'the enemy'. What happened to naming them as the German Army or the Nazi Army?

This movie stands right at the apex of excellence for Indian Cinema. It describes the actual situation of our country & the patriotism which shows the actual uniformity of our Country India. I was overwhelmed after watching it. The character Mohan is perfectly justified by Shah Rukh Khan. His acting in this movie was outstanding. Even Kaveri Amma as well as the actress portrayed their character in such a good way. I hope this kind of movies come back again in this era. There is neither a single bold scene nor any surreal which is not relatable to our daily life. It's all about serenity and eye soothing.

This is another re-watch, I wasn't to keen on it when I first saw, It seem this movie as gown on me over the past few years I really enjoyed it on second watch, I feel liked the fact that this movie had nice mixture of action and some very humourers moment in this movie. I did laugh a few times in this movie as i found some jokes really funny, it blended in really well with the action scenes. There were some really good action scenes in this movie, really well made, there were some action that did go little longer they should, those scene kind of took edge of it. I enjoyed most of the movie, I felt the ending was bit of let down, That really let the movie down. The acting was really good from the whole cast!

I can't even fathom how this was green lit for the general audience to consume. It's just so bad. Like, really, really bad. My goodness... If this is what you're serving up for today's young people to watch, I weap for the future. It's so blatenly bad that it makes you stop what you're doing, right in the middle of watching it and be like - what? Why? How can you create this and in good faith think this is worth releasing to the public? One more example of why I'm currently enjoying watching Hollywood burn it's own house down. Do please keep it up, guys. It's the real entertainment. So thanks for that. REAP IT.

I admit I wasn't that impressed with the first couple of episodes, however now the story has had a chance to evolve...this is turning into a really good show! The first few episodes (like any other show) starts with introducing the new characters and of course gives you "The Boys" vibes. However if you can hang on until episodes 3-5 when the story really starts to pick up, it keeps you invested in the characters and wanting more. It's refreshing that it doesn't rely on unneeded cameos and the story is holding its own. I wish the episodes were released all at once, but I will just have to wait like everyone else to see how it pans out.

I had been giving huge quantities of benefit-of-the-doubt to House of the Dragon. But after watching, or enduring, tedious episode after exhausting episode, honestly, my patience is finally gone. Some of its biggest faults lie in the nonsensical time flow of the show as well as the fact that there is not one single likable character. This show is rushing to a future that, even after a couple time jumps, never seems to arrive. It is both moving too fast and not at all. The TV equivalent of someone that talks so much yet says so little. As the timeline of the show moves forward, some characters are recasted while others are not. What this means for the non existing story is that, some characters decompose into old age, others seem to age in a way that doesn't make sense and a third group stays perfectly young and untouched by time. This is so glaringly bad that it almost feels like an intentional middle finger to the audience while saying "people will watch anything." Game of Thrones had its claws in its audience because it had qualities that House of the Dragon is missing: strong, distinct and likable characters; gripping plot lines, some irreverence, lots of wit, black humour, scope, imagination, heart and soul. Dragon does have some beautifully composed shots. At moments, I found myself thinking "wow, I don't remember game of thrones looking this good/having these type of artistic shots." Dragon is a boring soap opera with a medieval skin and lazy writing that includes several lazy plot devices and tv tropes. The GOT connection almost feels forced at this point, just there to capitalize on its success. It feels like it's created its own version of the most recent MCU formula, a self-aware money-grab, betting on the people that will rationalize the bad writing as part of the story. A story that is always leading to the next one but never quite satisfies, knowing that audiences will indeed watch anything.

Ek Hasina Thi is a wonderfully absorbing film. It is gritty, realistic, gripping, and it successfully adopts the style of Ram Gopal Varma's film-making. This thriller develops at a taut pace, starting as a simple romance and later gradually growing in suspense with its shocking proceedings. It is about a young independent woman, Sarika (Urmila Matondkar), who falls for a young suave man, Karan (Saif Ali Khan) who is actually not the one he appears to be. Unexpectedly, her world is turned upside down when she finds herself jailed because of him. That's how the story of her hardening begins, when, toughened by prison life, she gets determined to take revenge. The film does not have any unnecessary subplots, it avoids melodrama, it is relatively short, it has no songs, and all these elements contribute to its authenticity and suspenseful mood, also aided by its fantastic background score, brilliant dialogues, and superb cast. Urmila Matondkar is one of the finest and most versatile actresses in India. But, in spite of having attained nationwide fame, she is still extremely underrated. It may be because she stepped into a new kind of cinema in order to satisfy her artistic hunger and show her exceptional acting abilities. In Ek Hasina Thi, Urmila stars as Sarika Vartak, but although she plays one character, she actually plays two different women. She is first a gentle and simple class-working woman who, after being deceived by a man, turns into a merciless, calculating and almost sadistic avenger. The complexity of this challenging character arc is astounding, and there is not a single false note in the way Matondkar portrays this deeply troubling transformation. She is thoroughly relatable, real and compelling, handling the toughest and most brutal moments with depth, authenticity and unsettling intensity. This is a performance to remember. Quite obviously, the rest of the cast are here only to support Urmila, but they include a host of talented actors, all of whom do well. Saif Ali Khan is very impressive in this villainous turn. This is one of his most restrained acts, and his serious character comes as a pleasant surprise after all the comic, lighthearted and womanising characters he had played before. Seema Biswas can always be counted on to deliver a credible performance, and that's what she does as Malti. She creates a tough screen persona which is appropriately intimidating. Pratima Kazmi is superb as the powerful yet compassionate prisoner Pramila. In conclusion, Ek Hasina Thi is a great dramatic thriller, which is enjoyable, unconventional and thoroughly fascinating. The film has some disturbing moments and many moments of relief and joy. The ending is also one of the most unusual you will see in a Hindi film. One of the best Indian films of 2004.

This show came out when some of America had balls and people weren't afraid to call evil evil and terrorists terrorists. Hollywood actually reflected some of America's common sense conservative sentiments for once.

Initially what looked like a bad copy of Sword Art Online starts to gain relevance with a funny plot that unfolds in a way against the flow of common plots. It is worth watching, with invincible characters and with awareness for an unexpected path.

I don't usually get too excited about new T.V. shows I've recently discovered, apart from maybe 'Vikings,' but on this occasion it must be mentioned. If you haven't already I implore you to watch this show. The Acting is superb, the casting spot on, the soundtrack inspired, the pacing and mood totally mesmerizing. I have tried very hard to find faults or weak links in each episode and I honestly can't. It's all those great movies and T.V. shows we grew up watching as kids all rolled in to one, and yet in so many ways better than any of them. They all played a part in our childhood, they still give us that wonderful feeling of nostalgia and that is exactly what 'Stranger Things' does. It reminds us of how film used to make us feel when we where kids, and how could that possibly be a bad thing? Millie Bobby Brown deserves an Oscar, she has more talent in her little finger than half the cast of 'Game of Thrones.' Every one word / line delivery leaves you entirely invested in her performance, every emotion is displayed so intensely and openly in her eyes that she puts most adult actors to shame. This show deserves your attention, it may have taken a lot from the old 80's classics but isn't that what great art is? Paying homage to what came before but also respectfully making it better?

6 Underground is Michael Bay's worst film yet. It's not clever or original to slate Michael Bay's films, but the crushingly bad 6 Underground leaves no other choice.

It took me 4 attempts before I finally endured this over a three day viewing marathon. I treated it more as a mini series rather than a movie. What put me off was the sadly comical scenes where these once great stars were attempting to play their younger selves. No amount of CGI can change the fact that 70+year olds walk more slowly and talk in a more gravelly way than people in their 40s Much as I admire Pacino, DeNiro, Scorsese at al, surely they could have found age appropriate actors for this, a potentially brilliant story. I also think more time in the cutting room would have benefitted. I enjoy a slow build up, but it built up to very little. None of the characters engaged me enough to care! Even with many of the unpleasant characters depicted in so many of Scorcese's great films I can build some empathy with the characters and their flaws- not in this A missed opportunity and I'm left wondering if all the hype is, as another commenter wrote, a case of emperor's new clothes?

This series like the game of its namesake are blatant ripoffs of Elric of Melnibone books from Michael Moorcock. Read the original Elric of Melnibone and compare to the game/this series and you'll see the Plagiarism.

I remember my school days and there is one chapter I remember we had in rapid reading section, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Blue Carbuncle. More than half a decade later, I sit here with a smacked gob on how genius people can be. Sherlock follows some of Doyle's works, but the style is extraordinary. With 3 90-minute episodes every series, it really pulls a side story to the beloved bro couple. The writing is very fresh and so in line with the quality that we have today in TV. AMC's Breaking Bad is a strong competitor here. Performances by Benedict Cumberbatch & Martin Freeman are what takes the series ahead of all other BBC productions. In fact, the whole cast is par excellence. The first season introduced to the style and here we are in the third season, with a cliffhanger. The music is very melodious and apt for the rather quirky facets of the person the show is based on. The screenplay tries hard to simplify things/dialogs/references but quite fails in some episodes; the fastidious theme aggravates both the viewing and confusion causing factors... For exempli gratia, S01E01 was a 9/10, but S01E02 was only 7/10. But, as we know British TV is much different from its counterparts, Sherlock is a winner. BOTTOM LINE: Highly Recommended!

Deducting 5 star for chitragupt's and yamraj's acting and remaining for the movie's plot.. A movie which goes on and on without any intention just to merge 4 seperate stories.. I think motive was to create dark comedy like delhi belly but couldn't even get near to that genre.. A seriously failed attempt in creating a movie for any kind of audience

It's my first review of any movie on imdb because I wanted to make people aware just how bad this movie was.... I rely solely on imdb ratings, so I was obliged to aware my fellow cinephiles to not see this movie, because it's a waste your time.

All i can say is that season 1 is something just thinking about it wanna go watch it again. Season 2 had interesting ideas but focus too much on heroes that's meh, and Saitama is not much in it, and very predictable. Season 1 11/10. Season 2 6/10.

Interesting for a marvel film. Unique plot to watch .

Tom Hiddlestone is just brilliant at Loki. Considering he was close to getting the role of Thor back in the day, Marvel did amazing job keeping him for Loki. To see how his character has developed from Thor 1 to now is just brilliant. Up there with one of the best character arcs. The series though, at first I wasn't too sure on the TVA plot, but as it got deeper with timelines and variants it just kept getting more and more interesting and addictive. I love the introduction and mystery behind the introduction of the one who remains. Now seeing season 2, it's just got better and better. The hatred to Miss Minutes as a real villain is brilliant and the 'when' moment for Victor Timely and which variant turns it around to become the Kang we're waiting for! I hope Marvel keep this level going into new movies and series and stop the silly lightweight ones.

This is an average crime thriller copied from multiple Hollywood and other language movies. Backstory of the psycho was very much copied from the Psycho (directed by Hitchcock). Acting was over the top and script had loopholes here and there. Plus point was background score. I don't think this movie deserves to be in top 250 Indian movies whereas I see it rated above the likes of Anand, Nayakan and Black Friday, 😂 😆 And I see why. If you look closely, most of the 9 or 10 reviews are given in bulk around the same time like in Nov'18, Oct'18, Dec'18 and so on with different user names.

all guys are gay looking beta male ... all girls are annoying know-it-all type... acting is below average, with no emotional range story... does not build up as expected.... this is one more of those new SJW generation shows that Netflix shits out every day.

Don't compare to the old show!!! The kids are good actors. So far the story is good and enjoyable. It's different enough that it shouldn't be compared to the old show. I'm very surprised by the venom and spite in some of the other reviews. If you want to watch the old shows, go ahead. This is something new. The characters are still developing and getting comfortable but for just starting out, it's really good. The effects are awesome and the landscapes and locations are gorgeous!! So far, me and my whole family are enjoying it!

Like seriously it's evident that showmakers are totally Left leaning , Hinduphobic & purposely trying to paint negative image of Hindus.... It's shame that Netflix is promoting this..

I m struggling since when this show came out 1.5 months ago to start watching it. I m now in my 5th try and currently watching episode 3. I keep waiting for something to happen that will draw my attention. Meaningless encounters, uninteresting characters, lame CGI, awkward dialogues and most of all totally random events in the witches journey. It reminds me of the Hercules series in the 90s, where each episode had it's own story. And no, that was no compliment. The 8.4 rating is waaaaaaaay out of proportion, don't trust it. It's nowhere near that number. EDIT: After finishing the whole season I have to say that at last it did get interesting, but only in the two last episodes. Still not good enough, but I changed my rating from 2 to 5.

I thought I would give Arrested Development a watch since it has been getting so many rave reviews. I acquired all three seasons, and after watching 2.5 episodes, I'm really disappointed. First, the humor is so predictable in this show. All of the characters act like complete idiots and you always know when something stupid is going to come out of their mouths. Michael is the only normal character, which makes one wonder why he puts up with the the other ones in the first place. Has the bar for quality television been lowered so far as to give a show like Arrested Development such a stellar rating? Apparently so. This show reminds of Family Guy but with real people doing the acting. Even the little 'off screen shots' are similar to that of The Family Guy. I've gotta say though, Family Guy is funnier! At least it's a cartoon and there's an excuse for the stupidity.

When I first saw this movie in theaters I thought it was amazing, but it's one of those movies that loses a lot of it's impact the second time you watch it. Yeah a lot of comedies are like this, but I was literally bored the second time I tried to watch this. It wasn't even remotely funny or entertaining, but I guess for the first time seeing it. It was clever at times and Michael Cera does what he does best and as for Jonah Hill, lets just say he would make the perfect Eric Cartman if there is a real life version of "South Park". The whole plot is basically about 3 guys trying to make it to a party with alcohol so they can get laid. And McLovin was pretty hysterical in this and it's not a shock the McLovin trend started cause of this movie, well at least for a while. 7.3/10

Started well but felt it dragged on by the end. worth watching just for 5s performance. Amazing.

The character of Holly is a huge part of the story and they already changed her. The plot line jumps back and forth, which is confusing to those that haven't read the book. Honestly the complete step away from who Holly was in the book has ensured I won't watch beyond this 3rd episode.

Incredibly boring and simplistic plot. Pedantic performances, particularly by Bullock Whiz-bang CGI is nothing more than porn to the Oscar-voting crowd. Whatever Hollywood produces - they have to vote for. They have to vote for something, and give an Oscar to something - however shallow, uninteresting, boring, pedantic, etc. Too bad Clooney wasted his time on this one. And the plot would have been much better if Bullock's character would have "bought it" within the first 5 minutes. In fact the whole movie should have been 5 minutes long. That's pretty much how much "real material" the film had. 5 minutes. The end. Boring. Stupid. Pedantic. Move on.

I always say I'm not going to binge watch next time I find a show I like but alas, I have failed again. This series is adorable, fun, and so far, anyway, bereft of any of the social agenda garbage virtually every show nowadays seems driven to inject. Just simple, lighthearted fun, reminiscent of when TV was actually entertaining. It does have a bit of profanity, but at least it's not blasphemous. I adore Steve Martin anyway, Martin Short is thankfully low-key, he can get annoying when he's over the top, and it's my first encounter with Selena Gomez, but she does a great job, too. Watch it!

(Pre-Endgame MCU Rewatch) A lot happens in the movie and I found the main antagonist to be the least interesting part of it. Everything else, Tony's character development (or one could say lack thereof?), S.H.I.E.L.D.'s 'meddling', and the introduction of new characters is far more interesting to watch. The Grand Prix scene, the court room scene, are all amazing. Don Cheadle is a great improvement as the new James Rhodes and Sam Rockwell depicted Justin Hammer perfectly. I always enjoy seeing more S.H.I.E.L.D. (and happy they made that into a show, Coulson is the best!) but damn if Natasha Romanoff isn't a boring character to watch. Though honestly I think that's more because I find Scarlett Johansson quite a boring and non-versatile actress. Still, it's nice to see the "Avengers Initiative" slowly grow into something in the background of this film. Not as good as the first, but still quite a spectacle. And Robert Downey Jr. was born for this role.

On the face of it, Gravity doesn't sound like a bunch of fun. The film is pretty much entirely based on a monologue from Sandra Bullock with occasional support from George Clooney. Bullock plays Ryan Stone who is a medical engineer on a space flight. Things go wrong and she is supported by Matt Kowalsky a veteran astronaut. Amazingly the movie is a lot better than you imagine beforehand. The acting of Bullock and Clooney is fine and the visuals are amazing. It's very hard to believe that the movie wasn't actually shot in space or a gravity free environment. It's also in 3d and a rare example where the format really works well. Very enjoyable!

The first fifteen minutes of this TV-style murder mystery are so self-importantly humble and earthy that I had little hope for the remainder. Apart from occasionally looking self- consciously saint-like, Casey Affleck performs well as a very unlikely PI; his partner (Michele Monaghan) is so badly characterised and plotted that she's mostly a waste of space. However, she's a lot more subtle a performer than most in this overblown mess of grittiness. Ed Harris has never been so bad; Morgan Freeman is given a ludicrous part, made to intone great speeches, and doesn't convince for a moment. Nevertheless, amongst the rampant phoniness, working-class atmosphere laid on with a trowel, stupid plot and pretentious dialogue, there are some nice touches, strong melodramatic scenes, and a satisfying ending, but it seems that murder mysteries nowadays always have to be about mega-depraved scumbags. Why are the bourgeoisie so obsessed with fake low-life? Rhetorical question.

This show should have been a fun, exciting ride, with some interesting characters a straight forward but solid story and an overall enjoyable watch. Yet is was stopped, undermined and ultimately drowned by the insufferable flow of empty virtue signalling, meaningless woke points and imposed diversity quotas, which seem to be the mind-numbing and poisonous norms these days for many a movie and TV shows that have failed. Case in point "The Falcon And The Winter Soldier". The last episode is particularly cringeworthy and painful to get through. Too bad, I was looking forward to being entertained. Instead, I ended up being yelled and preached at for "reasons". I bet if there is a second season Sam will finally be able to get his bank loan... 4 out 10 ( and a hard pass on this one.)

This is my second series I am watching of TVF. 'Pitchers'. Will always remember and loved the dialogue, "We are not Entrepreneurs, We are Pitchers"... Must say, TVF have always kept their productions on a different level than other programs. Thanks to my friend for suggesting me to watch this lovely series. Season 3 must be released. I recommend everyone to watch 'Pitchers'. Seriously it will take you to whole new paradigm of fraternity and emotion. Loved such True-to-life characters and each and everyone have out-performed themselves. The series will show what a perfect team-work is. Tons of Love and Thanks to 'The Viral Fever' team for making such a splendid series.

Just when people had written off Shahrukh Khan - the Actor, his FAN brings him back to his A game. Being an avid SRK FAN, it had to be the First day First Show. And Maneesh Sharma does not disappoint at all... The movie delivers both aspects brilliantly - the extreme level to which an obsessed FAN can go for the STAR he idolisesand what impact it can have on the Star's life... The movie brings to mind the Shahrukh Khan of early days - Baazigar, Darr , Anjam and the likes..... While the over obsessed FAN certainly surprises with the things he does for the Star, the climax certainly leaves you totally shocked and fills you with a bit of sadness... Overall, FAN is a double delight for SRK Fans and should be a good watch for neutrals too!!

Overdone, just had to try and out do the Matrix. To Hollywood, what a waste. Brass tacks .. it's Matrix meets zombie movie.

Father 2 is the story of the corruption of power,loyalty,betrayal and the loneliness that comes with great power. Michael Corleone is a lonely man who lives in a high castle. At the end of the film, he destroyed all his enemies,separated from his wife, had his brother killed as a punishment for betrayal, but he paid the price by being isolated and alone. Even an ounce of compassion and love in his eyes in the scene where he closes the door behind his wife yoktur. Al Pacino is beyond perfect in the role of a bureaucratic,cool and ruthless mafia boss. Robert De Niro makes his major debut in his Academy Award-winning performance as the young Vito in the parallel story. This the magnificent sequel completes and enriches the first film and brings the glory of the legend to its peak. The first film tells about the 40s, the second production tells about the late 50s and the 20s, while telling about the dark history of America.10/10.

This TV serial totally fulfill my expectation. It fulfill what I want to see. I have see any tv serial after a ling time. This tv serial plot is really awesome to me. Me and my wife like it so much. The way witcher act is totally normal and the way need to go.

If you like spy movies, exotic locations, beautiful women, nasty bad guys, luxurious settings and great camera work you will love this film. I knocked it down from a 10 to 9 only because of its length. It runs over two hours and drags out the ending. But it's still full of action' suspense and sex. Although the sex is very graphic --- and I do tend to be something of a prude in these matters --- it still was tastefully done. It also catches the atmosphere of both Moscow and Budapest --- I've visited both --- even though nothing was actually shot in Moscow. This will be a satisfying and well spent couple of hours whether your interest is espionage, creative film, ballet, excellent acting or intense drama. Call it James Bond with credibility!

I came to the Witcher franchise late, just this year discovering The Witcher 3 PC game, so I am aware I haven't had the lore and canon immersion that many viewers of this will have had. There are character changes I noticed but nothing that destroyed those characters at least as I know them but I was disappointed they changed Dandelion's name. I don't see a reason for that aside from the thinking that changed Bruce Banner to David Banner for the TV series. Season 1 happens prior to the Witcher 3 game (have no idea about the books) so I don't know what was changed there but I imagine quite a bit. Given the way the story was spread across 8 episodes they must be planning a minimum of 3 seasons, even given the changes I am aware of. There isn't as much action as I was expecting and they made Geralt of Rivia a committee character of conflicting traits. He is abrasive and standoffish, as we are used to, but he is also sort of dumb and exceptionally lucky when operating within his profession (though he is Captain obvious in the game). Yennefer on the other hand is exceptionally portrayed as a driven, powerful, and aloof sorceress who takes what she wants consequences be damned. The timeline isn't linear so you may be a little confused until you can recognize what is happening before and what is happening at the moment. The story runs thin in places and brilliant in others. The battle at the keep on the river is one of the best sequences I've ever seen in any movie or series (tactical magic is awesome and terrifying), an exceptional amount of thought went into its creation. They change directors on the episodes, didn't catch if it was for all 8, but it may be the reason why the telling of the story runs thick and thin. While it may be a good idea to read the Witcher wiki so you have some notion of the players and knowledge of the lands and events surrounding the age of the White Wolf and his elder blood ward, but not absolutely required. I think even the most dedicated fans will find themselves confused here and there just at different things than the novice. I couldn't help but wonder if perhaps Elric of Melniboné will find his way into such a production if this show manages a good amount of interest following on the heels of Game of Thrones. Perhaps a renewed interest in swords and sorcery fantasy will shake that tree finally. There were a few things that cheapened the production IMO, Nilfgaardian armor being a stand out example. Overall I'm pleased with the series through season 1, hopefully there will be enough viewer interest that the second season budget will be enough to refinish some of the rough areas. If you are a hard core Witcher affecianado I imagine you will have a 4 page list of 'errors' but hope you can adapt enough to enjoy the parts they 'got right'. For the uninitiated it's a bit of a toss up but if you can stick with it through the confusion I think you will find it promising and enjoyable. For people like me I know just enough to know what I don't know but that doesn't really matter because I was already predisposed to enjoy it. It would have had to be a trainwreck to destroy my interest, something it easily avoids. If you are okay with fairies and trolls at the Renaissance faire, a fan of swords and sorcery like Conan, Kull, Red Sonja, and John Carter, or just like a fresh take on classical themes I would recommend this series without reservation. If Game of Thrones is as far as your fantasy tastes go/have gotten then the straight forward by comparison 'pulp' style hero focus may not appeal to you (unlike GoT it's pretty clear certain characters aren't going to die). I will say if future seasons incorporate the events in Witcher 3 (especially with the 2 expansions) a lot thicker and juicier steak is on the way, though the 3 main characters will still dominate the show. I will probably watch it through a few more times before the long night to season 2 (if it comes at all). Recommended.

The first episode was amazing, and possibly flawless. The only thing I might have missed was more action, but then again there would have been less time for the amazing story, mystery and mysticism, so I am not sure if it could have been improved! The rest of the episodes was not amazing, but still great in my opinion, perhaps except for the fifth episode that was a bit too strange in my opinion. The last episode was in my opinion not as bad as others have complained about. I would say that it was great, but not as amazing as the first episode. Perhaps how amazing the first episode was made it impossible to meet the expectations for the last one? And a big plus in my book: The WHOLE season have gone practically without any references to other MCU movies or series. That is GREAT!!! I am fed up with movies and series that are so entwined that you "MUST" have seen everything else in the MCU universe to avoid spoilers and/or not be able to understand what/why things happens because of reference(s) to other movies and/or series!!!

It's 2020. So obviously I am late to the party but boy I enjoyed the party. I caught up with the series during quarantining. A unique concept which had elements of same old thrill, action & a little bit of drama which I quite enjoyed watching it. Whenever I completed a season I used to think what kind of storyline they would bring in the next season coz I felt they used to cover all of the threats each & every season but they definitely bought something new each season. I so love the chase, the cat and mouse game between Jack & the terrorists but I felt that just to cover the 24 hour episodes, they had to drag the storyline. Anyway, that's my only complain but I enjoyed it. Also I am curious to see if this show would have been made now, it would have been a treat to watch all of the cast using the latest technology and all. Expecting them to revive. But oh well, 10/10 from me.

I think this tried to do too many things at once. Also I found it hard to suspend disbelief for the many of the twists and turns. This is one of those series that could probably have benefited from an editor who was ruthless it cutting this down to a core, more linear story. Not exactly terrible, just a little too much rambling for my taste. And as another reviewer noted... males are probably not the primary target audience. So gender bias may possibly explain why people seem to love it or hate it?

One would think that a series about super heroes would be great entertainment for the whole family. This show is about everything you DON'T want your children to see. Perverted sex scenes. Every other word is an F-bomb of some form or another. This show had a lot of potential with great actors and lots of action. Too bad Unholy Hollywood has to keep pushing the envelope with disgusting immoral tv and movies. I wonder if mr bezos screens any of this crap his network is pushing on Amazon viewers. I watched 2-1/2 episodes and pulled the plug. I'm not really a prude. But enough is enough!!👎 End of rant👎👎👎

The action scenes are good, but there is just too much blah blah blah. It's only been two episodes but it appears to be nothing special. It's watchable but contains filler material that nobody cares about, like Falcon's sister and her kids and how they are broke and the bank won't give them a loan. Who cares? Disney really needs to figure out that people watch super hero movies to watch super heroes fight bad guys. Not to have political agendas shoved in our face or to see some heroes family deal with some issue. Anyways, so far it's watchable but nothing special. Hopefully it gets better.

Its one of the best of Paresh Rawal equally supported by Ajay and Kai Kai.. Perfect family fun.

Nothing about this season caught me off guard. This season has been disappointing.

First of all and before review the series I must say that this show has a very important and well receive message about pressure and struggles students have in their high school, this is not something that should take lightly and I dont think any series or movies matter of fact showed something bold and blunt like this before. At the beginning We very well introduce to the series, characters and storyline and slowly begun to feel the pain and knowing mysteries and twists of the story. Everything is just in place, story isnt too slow to bore u or too fast to be cursory. Dialougs, drama and twists are good, acting, directing, plots and chemistry between characters are at very best. We dont have any totally evil or dumb characters that we usually see in this type of stories and thats a relife, just stuped immature teenagers doing things without thinking of consequences. Series in season 1 gets better episode by episode and thats mostly because of the good writing and directing besides the great job of its actor. We slowly get going with the story and with each tape get more attached and sympathetic. We learn how little things can effect your life in big ways and change it forever. Series has very important messages and topics besides the obvious, Its talking about love, loss, family, love, friendship, loneliness and so many more meaningful things, isnt just focus on bullying at school. Everything about this show was good from beginning to the end until they decide to continue the series in further seasons. They could have a very beautiful and inspiring ending scene in season 1 and wrapping the story up with a beautiful sad goodbye between main characters and end the story and series at its best but instead decided to continue the story which it was a huge mistake. Me personally before watching season 2, had hoped somehow with amazing stuff I saw in the first seson next season would be great too but that was false hope. One of the thing I loved most from season 1 was the dark and realistic theme of it which in season 2 almost faded. Not that this season was bad and unwatchable or not dark enough but could have been so much better. The first three episode was no good, little bit shallow and far away from the theme, mood and frame of the first season but in the middle gets back on track but then lost it in the finall episode and all that in 15 minutes. And again they should have ended series in this season or season one but instead decided to continue the story in one more season and without Hanna which thats just ridiculous because hole story is about her. One other thing that I didnt like about this season was what they did to hannas character that definitely reduced her popularity. At the end, personally rathered series had ended in one or at least two seasons with an artistic intense and sad goodbye scene but I guess You cant get always what you want. This was a worth watching tv series even I doubt it watching season 3. Series has alot of good and important topics to discuss but it has its flaws and ups and downs but still definitely is a great and watchable series, I just wish they lead it in a different direction. and one last thing I just love Katherine Langford and Dylan Minnette, very promising actors and definitely hear more from them in future.

Rich, white, straight men making a movie. 21st-century FX, 19th century century plot. Very disappointing. I feel offended watching this movie. There's so many parallels different cultures from white, rich, straight man perspective. Acting was really bad. Watching alien species using slang language was really painful. It was really primitive and cheap movie. I had high hopes about this movie, but it was really really disappointing. I actually feel bad watching it was really bad. It's like my marvel movies for old people. Expensive VFX where ok but the music and sound effects were terrible and destroyed the movie.

They should have filmed it in South Africa, Australian landscape and cities are totally different. Strange accent trying to mimic English spoken by Afrikaners - failed! And that Harry Potter guy... meh. Besides that it is slow, too long and too boring.

I think this is probably one of Michelle Williams' best performances. The Fabelmans is a great film and has the amazing backdrop of cinematic talent and perseverance while in the midst of real issues and family dysfunction. The types of things that many artists deal with, and yet woven together with such finesse that it's not overly sad making it possible to deliver a plethora of remarkable performances conveying authentic and diverse emotional moments through the eyes of Sammy Fabelman. I found myself intrigued by the fictionalized account of Spielberg's life and the many different situations that unfolded through the childhood of "Sammy Fabelman."

After more than 20 years in the industry and failing to show one ounce of restraint in his career, it's fair to say we all know what to expect from a Michael Bay movie. Staying true to form, Bay may now find himself away from the big screen and streaming directly into people's living rooms across the world thanks to Netflix but that doesn't mean that his loud, over the top, flaw ridden and daftly fun action thriller 6 Underground skimps on the Bayism's in any way, shape or form. The type of hyper, over-edited and insanely plotted film that gets critics cringing in their seats, Underground is as far away from "pure" cinema as you'd ever get but despite all his failings as a director, Bay should be commended for sticking to his guns and if there's one thing Bay is capable of doing, its delivering a turn your brain off fun ride that is often full of set-pieces and show pieces that put many other action films to shame. Kicking off with a seemingly never ending car chase through Florence, that is filled with an abundance of miracle car repairs and continuity errors but also some hold your breath action beats, Underground very quickly showcases to the viewer what they're in for should they stick around and if the extended opening stanza is too much to bare, reach for that off remote as soon as you can, as what is to follow is very much of the same over the top and kinetic nature. In many ways, Underground is one of the most straight up silly and unfiltered features to come out this year, there's no message found lying underneath the surface, no statements being made and no adherence to common decency (just witness the amount of slow-mo deaths or bodies being flung around like no tomorrow); it feels almost as if Bay's effort is from a time warp of body- filled 80's and 90's actioner's that ensured they focused on spectacle first and then if they had time, to anything else in between. Rounding up a decent cast that is headlined by Ryan "Deadpool persona" Reynolds as the mysterious billionaire One, Bay decides fairly early on that backstory, character motivations and plot sense will come second to everything else as One and a rag-tag group of partners in crime look to take justice into their own hands as they dispatch "bad guys" across the globe. With this mantra in mind, Underground never lets up for a single second as we are whisked to and fro from Hong Kong kidnappings, unnecessary parkour vignettes, Las Vegas assassinations and misuses of magnets and should you be willing to get past the whole daftness of everything you are witnessing, get use to the 40 edits per minute and abundance of lens flair delights, Underground becomes the perfect type of film Netflix need's to support around their increasingly high end dramatic efforts. Final Say - Losing none of his lunatic tendencies, the small screen release of 6 Underground has done nothing to stop Bay's quest to blow up objects, shake his camera and deliver a brainless bouts of fun like only the best of them can. Far from high-class, 6 Underground is exactly what it promises to be should you be willing to go along for the ride. 3 swimming pools out of 5

Apart for the current MCU fever and the political climate, I don't get why this movie gets this much praise. With lackluster CGI, a lot of continuity errors and character inconsistencies, this movie wouldn't stand out in any other decade. There are better movies that touch on the african culture (Tsotsi, Hotel Rwanda), better action movies (most MCU movies, the recent Mission Impossible ones) and more compelling portrayals of heroism that touch on the minority aspect of society (Boyz n the Hood, Dope) that don't require fantasy elements. The villain was better than in most previous MCU movies, but the writers still didn't give him anything with gravitas, for T'Challa to rise to the challenge in a memorable way. If we weren't living in a society that imposes race as a stand-alone quality of a person, this movie would've been forgotten in a couple of weeks.

Don't get me wrong - I thought that this was a well crafted and interesting film, which covered a difficult and sensitive subject extremely well. Nash's battle with his own mind was a fascinating tale, and the doctor I went to see it with said that he thought that all psychiatry students should see it as an introduction to the reality of Schitzophrenia for the patient. However, I was expecting something....more. THe acting was good, everything was good, but it didn't have that extra something to raise it into the realms of the great. I enjoyed this film, and would recommend it, but best film.... Not for me. 7.5/10
7
The stories and the plot has been developed very well to fit modern standards and to make it a new story rather than the old Sherlock Holmes stories and films. Gripping it is along with very intelligent camera work and scripting. The edit is commendable and the direction is good which is topped by high class acting skills. A few episodes could have been made a lot better because after seeing them, I was constantly shaking my head saying that the book of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle expressed it better and somehow it has lingered on till date.

The review's title says it all. Marvel keeps going in the wrong direction with their superheroes, and this a new chapter in their cringyverse. Hey Marvel, what if...? I told you, nobody will be watching your garbage? And that's not all, Disney+ is in on it, makes me laugh even more.

Venom didnt scream marvel to me, compared to all of the movies id say this is the worst one, after seeing it i wont be surprised that every movie is going to be worse just to please the masses.

As someone, who only played The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (loved it) and has not read the books, I was sceptical how a TV adaption of the books will impact the experience for me. Besides some strange choices of actors to provide a proper diversity, some really confusing time jumping and some over the top B-movie moments, it was a great experience overall. Especially the origins of the main characters of the wild hunt (gerald, cirael and yennifer) were very interesting.

Totally wasted time. You can watch if u dont have to wqtxh anything. Very slow drama and nothing suspense or story till end.

... Seriously guys and gals, writers and producers , could you not have come up with something better than this ? After having soo much inspiration at your hands with GOT , all that you could muster was this lame of a show with no chemistry between any of the characters and absolutely no engaging plot or even conversation ?? So sad...you had to change the actors from bad to worse in the middle of the episodes...and to top it all we see that all shows lately insist with this bizarre "progressive " casting which gives zero justice to the history of our world !!!! In the name of decency and common sense, really, we can be inclusive and present a myriad of other stories where there will be no need to alter history and present lies to the unsuspecting new generation! There is plenty of room for progressive and inclusion but let s be decent and respect the reality of past times !!!!!!! Disgustingly manipulative world we came to live in... sad sad sad !!!

Of course nice visuals but beyond that fully predictable. All elements of plot are unsurprising to moviegoer. No reason to make it 3 hours for that exact reason. Other pros: -film score blends well -don't need to remember anything about first movie to watch Cons: -action for action's sake -long -wish there was more commentary or suggestion of openness to others joining a new tribe. When in film will we see the tribe that is open to immigrants/otherness from the getgo? -this movie is pro-mother but not necessarily pro-woman. Man is king and so is heteronormativity. I hope this type of story in film can evolve one day.

I have always loved this quirky classic from when I was very young. Me and my friends would come home from school and sit down with a pizza and some snacks and watch Forrest Gump at least once a month, so I think that really demonstrates to you what kind of film it is. As many of you will know, it's extremely quotable and a generally obvious lesson-learning film. Though, this could be a bad quality as I know that many people like to have 'hidden meanings' in films, and stuff that you need to work out - but this is the polar opposite. It's not hard to understand, it's just plain and simple as it's seen mostly in the perspective of Forrest himself.

So far enjoying this series ... not predictable and has kept me intrigued on who the "killer" is so far.

I am utterly SHOCKED this show has such high ratings.... have people lost their minds as to what is good writing and what is just horrible. I think because the quality of series now a days is so bad, people must be desperate... i watched the first few seasons because i was desperate to watch something at the end of the day but just could not take it anymore. The story line is horrible, the acting is "not there" . This is the same old same old superhero show (i watch superhero shows) with a different spin... boring boring and more boring. Please please, put some shows on that actually can entertain . Something original! What the heck is going on??

I grew up in Wisconsin, and boy, do I remember those winters. Nothing but endless white as far as the eye can see. And they consider zero as pleasant weather, and as they say in the movie, "looks like it might "turn cold" tomorrow!" Like it's not already below zero!! I truly believe that they filmed this movie in the upper Mid-West. My favorite line is when Chief Gunderson has the murderer in the back of her patrol car, and she tries to talk to him. She says, "there's more to life than a little money, you know. Don't you know that?" Then goes on to say, "and look at this... it's a beautiful day!" Only a Midwesterner could look out a window, see nothing but white snow and fog for miles around with virtually no visibility and say, "it's a beautiful day!" This is one of the reasons I moved to Nevada. I'll take the desert over those winters I suffered for 30 years anytime!!! But it still makes me a bit nostalgic for home, though. This was a great movie, a "can't miss movie" and everyone should see it. Though, the accents were a little dramatic. Nobody talks with THAT bad an accent in the Midwest, but it sure was funny! And I recommend this film to anyone who hasn't seen it yet. Go see it, you'll thoroughly enjoy it!!

Not much more to add really. I managed to watch this farce for about half an hour, I desperately wanted to give it a chance, but every passing minute is such an insult to my intelligence that I cannot carry on. Then I tried again to continue, because I thought it's not fair to rate a movie without watching it to the end. But then again, I'm not a masochist. This film is the perfect example of how movie success depends hardly on movie quality, but almost solely on marketing. The same happened with the Matrix a few years back. Farcical setting, totally unrealistic story, but great marketing: Box office success. You probably already know the deal, unfortunately I was unsuspecting before I tried to watch it: Getting into other people's dreams, creating a believable world in the dream where multiple dreamers can interact with each other, and in this way, collect important information from the mark. Of course the dreams also have dreams within, and it's hard to know what is real and when your're dreaming. Whatever. No idea why anyone would WANT to watch this, other than because of the hype. But the hype has very little to do with the quality of the film. This film's whole focus is on the farcical notion of creating dreams for people, and especially, interacting with other characters in the dream who are dreaming the exact same dream. If the film were not so consumed by this outragous technicality, and it had some character and heart, some sort of purpose, I could probably let slip the ridiculousness of the whole theme. I have been known to enjoy the odd sci-fi. But it lacks any heart, all it does is try to look smart. I find it grossly unfair that this junk rates above 9 on IMDb. However, my rating of 2 is not because I want to bring the total down, it is rather what I think the realistic rating is. And that 2 is a very generous score.

As a huge Scorsese fan I was massively disappointed with The Irishman. Where was the energy? Where were the characters? It lacks engagement, plot and, sorry about this Thelma, editing. I revisit Scorsese films frequently but I know I have no interest in watching this film ever again.

Pretty bad. A riverdale with a very cliched harry potter/sleepy hollow atmosphere. This is a show for 12/16 year old girls, this has nothing to offer for those who enjoy art. I don't know how something like this can have 8.2 on IMDb, I don't think anything in the series is really good. If you value your time, don't waste almost eight hours watching this. I guess it feels that way because the Target of the series is not a mature audience, the series is poorly developed, with a character who can conveniently have visions to solve what the plot can't give you on its own, apparently the character seems to criticize the banality of youth but while she looks like my cousin who listens to Nirvana, dresses in black and shares on social media how unique she is, merlina's character is not weird, she looks like any 14 year old cousin who pretends to be "different."

I will basically watch Natasha Lyonne in anything after being traumatized by Freeway 2 as kid. However she is great in this- everyone needs to watch more than episode before giving a review on an entire series! It is a great show- I watched the whole series in one night.
