While the true story and heroic efforts of the Dunkirk Evacuation deserve a 10, this movie does not. The worst of it was the droning, somber monotony of the musical soundtrack, particularly in the first portion of the movie, which has to be the most tediously overwrought score in history; followed by another heavy handed long section of a repetitively monotonous 4 or 5 note ascending minor scale, all of which was a serious and unfortunate detraction from the action on screen.
One of the historically unique facts of this evacuation was the civilian fleet of nearly 400 small craft (Wikipedia) which heroically volunteered for this amazing feat, which I think was under-depicted.
By the movie's end, it confirmed the senseless stupidity of geo-political wars and conflicts caused by governmental leaders, and the resulting senseless personal loss at the battle front. But faced with this senselessness, it also celebrated individual acts of bravery and sacrifice.
Conspicuously and sadly absent was a written narrative at the end which summarized and brought into focus the huge scope of this historic evacuation, along with actual photographs.

I finally found a war film that I absolutely love. 1917 is the latest effort from a very quality filmmaker in Sam Mendes. Sam Mendes has never made a film that I didn't like and so seeing a new war film from him was something I was going to welcome with open arms. This film from opening frame is an absolute technical and emotional journey. Its worth a watch in the cinemas while you can and something I am looking to go see again when I can.
The film is about the journey of two British soldiers who are tasked with delivering an important message about an impending German ambush on British forces during Operation Alberich. The soldiers go on a long and dangerous journey in order to stop this massive planned attack. The film stars George McKay, Dean Charles Chapman, Mark Strong, Colin Firth, and Benedict Cumberbatch. It is Sam Mendes' first non Bond film since 2009.
The obvious must be stated first. I am a huge fan of long takes. Loved Alfred Hitchcock's Rope which was a pioneer in that technique. Then we had memorable long takes through the years including one of my favorites for Gravity. This entire film is presented as one long take; a riveting continuous shot. It is absolutely incredible and completely contributes to the claustrophobic, frantic, and ever present war setting. Roger Deakins is a legend and needs another Academy Award for his work here. Simply incredible. Everything about the set was realistic. The bodies, dirt, and filth looked so authentic. For two hours you feel like you are in the trenches and in the war field, hearing every shot fired and every roaring plane overhead.
Technically the film is a brilliant achievement. It also composes of an excellent score, one that complements each changing scene in the film. So much went into how the film looks and I love that critics have been appreciating it. I had no problems with the fleeting characters and think the two initial leads and their bond is captured well enough. We are here for the journey which is ever changing and sporadic. Overall, this was an extremely pleasant way to end the year for me. One of the years very best.
8.5/10

Dunkirk, although may contain historical value, is an absolute abomination of a film. Saving Private Ryan, Inglorious Basterds, Schindler's List, Enemy at the Gates, Fury, 1917, all outperform this film. The only exceptions may be in production quality and picture.
Character development is weak, the scenes choppy (albeit a Christopher Nolan theme), and overall, a weak storyline, almost wishing for the worst. If going for a heroic story, the acts of heroism are minimalized and downplayed by the films chopped and reconstructed scenes and story line. The pointlessness of some of the characters, mind boggling. This film has no suspense, it created no urgency, it lacked emotional connection to the characters.
I am not a movie critic, so take my review for what it's worth, but a film depicting how Dunkirk's situation came to be this film's storyline/reality, would have been much more entertaining, and allowed for Nolan's style to be excuted more appropriately.

I enjoyed how the movie Argo, decided to star Ben Affleck. I enjoy him as an actor. The plot of the film was very interesting and you never knew what was going to happen next. They choose to create a fake movie to fake characters to bring those six Americans back safely. I would have never seen a plot like that. The whole time, I was on edge, which I felt the director did on purpose. My only complaint however, was that the start of the movie goes at a slower to medium pace. However, it gets made up for the pace towards the end being the absolute highest and nail biting. Having the Iranian police driving with their loaded trucks and weapons towards the plan that the Americans were escaping on. And the Americans barely departing off the runway, was the craziest way that the movie could have ended. It was a terrific ending because the movie ended off action packed. I would definitely recommend this movie for you to watch.

I don´t know why I like the first film a bit more then this.Still this is almost as good and it´s a really powerful film.The acting is masterful by Al Pacino and I was VERY impressed by Robert De Niro´s acting who deserved his Oscar for best Supporting Actor.It´s the same music as in the first film,and that music is fantastic.This film is over three hours but it´s not a bit boring and even if I have heard that the godfather part three can´t compare with the first two films I can´t wait to see it.This film is a beautiful epic.5/5

...with maybe a bit of Mommie (daddy) Dearest mixed in, this plodding stupid-hero fantasy is a mess that doesn't even come close to making sense on any emotional or intellectual level. Filled with random deus-ex-machina "and then that happened" writing, it's best digested in small ten minute segments, so as not to be overwhelmed with revulsion at the eye-rollingly trite dialog and plot.
You'd have to have either an IQ of 80, or no familiarity at all with the far superior source materials from which it cribs, to enjoy this. About the only thing that keeps it from being one star, is the money spent on its production, which was clearly enormous.
But what a waste for such a superb CGI chimpanzee butler to be squandered on such dreck.

Why would you make such a Loki and such a ridiculous thing? Marvel seems to be losing its seriousness and going in a strange direction that has lost its self-respect. It's as if someone forced them to write the script under duress and forced them to direct and make this series. How can there be so much weirdness, absurdity, laughless, meaningless, messy work? This is a very unpleasant and annoying thing that will also lose the respect of the audience. Most of the scenes are not a joy to watch but a torment. The guy keeps going and coming, popping up and disappearing. As if a very good job is done with such a stupid scenario and flow? You will alienate you from science fiction. If you don't like it and you are not satisfied and happy, don't do it. Leave it, move on to other jobs. You can relax and we can relax. It is well known that Marvel employees work under pressure and stress, and my feeling is that their unhappiness and stress is reflected even in the movies, TV series and scripts they make. It's a grave situation. Hire other employees, don't make them unhappy like this. It's not impossible to find employees who will dedicate themselves to Marvel with love and do much better quality work.

This movie was so emotionally moving in a way that I didn't expect at all. I loved how critically it evolves around the Barbie and Ken figure and questions everything you ever took for granted in a very nice and intelligent way. I absolutely loved this movie and would watch it again any time.
I sobbed for most half of the movie, at the end it comes down to why it's important to be a human and not trying to be perfect.
The cast was also amazing. Great acting. Almost all of the cast of sex education is in it which was really cool to see. I would totally recommend this movie to anyone, even if you don't like or didn't play with Barbie.

Wow, what am I missing - who rates this movie so high? its boring, the acting and dialogue are pathetic and the CGI at times is dodgy to say the least. Another piece of crap off the never ending conveyer belt of superhero movies that yet again has been rushed out to cash in on the popularity of this type of rubbish.

It seems to me that much of the stylistic elements of the movie were taken from the 1955 film Kiss Me Deadly. Kiss Me Deadly was full of quirky characters and had a mysterious chest which contained a glowing object. The main difference in style was that the humor in Kiss Me Deadly is much more subtle, while Pulp Fiction is trying real hard to get a laugh or a reaction. Because of that, I feel that Kiss Me Deadly is the far superior of the two.

This could have been so good, but the incompetent script writers dropped the manuscript on the floor and gathered the pages in a random, totally inconsistent order. Filming it in that order is not new, its not creative or innovative; its just confusing. It took me three episodes of "Hey, isn't she dead? Must be a twin" and "What? He went back?" before I understood that this was a time machine gone mad. On the positive side, though; Geralt must be one of the best castings ever, judging only from my experience of the games. I never liked him in the games and I don't like him here - but damn, is he good.

This anime is looking like Willy Dozan's 1994 series Deru Debu, this anime has action scenes like kicking and punching. The characteristic of this anime is curly boy's hair with green tip.

I played all 3 Witcher games and read all of the books. This is a missed opportunity to capture the slavic undertone, politics, and the dark fantasy that is portrayed in the game. This feels too 'safe', and it does seem like it's trying so hard to be politically correct: black folks in medieval Poland...? C'mon.

AMAZING AND A CLASSIC MOVIE, EVERYONE SHOULD SEE, HAS AN AMAZING STORY BUT THE FIRST ONE ITS BETTER

In this era of technical advancement, cinema is mostly carried by its technical achievements. Speaking of which, The Witcher has everything which a top notch series should have. Excellent fighting sequences, very good visual effects and a very rich production design.
But these things should be secondary and the content should be the driving force. But Witcher lacks a lot in terms of these key aspects.
The writing is straight out bad. Few portions could have been written with more sincerity and patience. The lines delivered seems hollow at times. There is very insignificant character development (the main reason for audience to root for a character), since we all know Henry Cavill, so we might automatically root for his character but other characters' faith depends on the writer's abilities. Which I am afraid, the writers couldn't pull off. And the story seems driven only by Geralt, which is sometimes problematic in a story based on such a vast universe with so many characters.
The acting is good. (Not very extraordinary). Cavill's Geralt is one dimensional. He is a walking hunk talking only in short gutteral voice, with deadpan expression
Anyway, with so much fanfare and publicity I am sure this show will rake up huge audience reaction but to make this show last longer, the writers should pay attention to their jobs more and not rely on fan following for success.

Had to stop watching after episode 6, the story is just so enormously badly written and oversimplified to a soap drama level.
These are supposed to be the best and brightest minds of earth... Instead you get the textbook family drama, undermining authortity and betrayal. You can actually see everything coming a mile away with the clichés in this series. You get more annoyed and angry the more you watch the "story" unfold.
The only good thing that carries this meager show a little is Toby Stephens as the father and the not too bad CGI.... Such a shame...

The Umbrella Academy causes conflicting feelings. The first season was not bad the first 5 episodes, but the final was open and the viewer did not receive the completion of the story. And now comes season 2. The change of setting of course benefited the series, the era of the 60s was not transferred badly, not without the "Russian cranberries of course." And although the season 2 finale is open again, the plot has at least moved off the ground.

After reading some of the reviews, I must be the only person that actually enjoyed season 3. Now I will say I have never read the books, so if you looking for me to compare, you are in the wrong place. I have yet to be disappointed by a season of The Umbrella Academy. The comedy is on point, the dancing scenes are a masterpiece, and the violence sometimes makes me want to vomit. But in a good way, if there is one. I laughed, I cried, and I most definitely screamed at the television a few times. Maybe I have an unfair advantage of also being a Doctor Who fan (or whovian for those who know the fandom), as I understood and guessed the more timey wimey elements of this season. Now is it perfect? No. Do I have questions? Yes. But I hope those will be answered if we get another season. The Umbrella Academy is supposed to be wacky, campy at times, ridiculous and unbelievable. At least that is the impression I received from the very first season. So I am not surprised that this new season seems even more outrageous. Some of the characters take on a whole new direction, which I find very interesting, even though I want to slap some of them. Was this season a little all over the place? Sure. Am I a little confused by the ending? Of course, like I said earlier I have questions. But I was in no way disappointed or let down. I was extremely happy with Season 3 and I don't mind having the unpopular opinion on this one. What can I say? I love the weird stuff.

Season 4 is already halfway through, and I've found myself revisiting the previous seasons once again. It truly stands out as a masterpiece on all levels. I had to pause S1E06 just now to write this review because 9 minutes into that episode had me crying once more.
I've been following AoT since 2013, eagerly awaiting each new episode and season. It's hard to believe the series is ending very soon. "Don't be sad that it's over, be happy that it happened," and all that...
For a while, my top 3 ongoing shows were GoT, Vikings, and AoT. Sadly, GoT collapsed before the finish line, Vikings gradually lost quality after its fourth season, while Attack on Titan has remained strong and not only stayed brilliant but actually improved in many ways as the show progressed, which is incredibly rare.
To this day, I still listen to the amazing soundtrack while doing other things, and each time I return to watching the show, it's hard to find anything negative about it. Some people may say that AoT is overrated, and I might have thought that at some points in the show as well, such as at various points in Season 2 and 3. However, when you see how it all connects together and makes overall sense in the grand scheme, some seemingly weaker aspects or things that appear nonsensical, overly contrived, or dramatized at the time make sense upon revisiting it, or at least that was my experience.
In any case, I would give Attack on Titan a 10/10 simply because it is intensely watchable, engaging, inspiring, epic, thought-provoking, anti-war, spine-chilling, horrifying at times, emotional, and tear-inducing.
If you enjoyed the early seasons of Game of Thrones, Vikings, Breaking Bad, Fullmetal Alchemist, and other similar shows, then Attack on Titan is definitely for you.
Now, I must endure the agonizing anticipation for each new and final episode of the last season...
P. S. - a good companion documentary to this is Dominion (2018)

This movie is the best movie I've watched in 2020 at least. Best acting, music, editing, action, comedy. All in one package. And definitely heart touching!
Not gonna give spoilers since this movie is worth watching with the least amount of known spoilers. But definitely a roller coaster ride, with turns at every moment.
A very detailed movie I must say! Must give a watch... :)

I hate magic in fantasy because it's such a cheap way of producing a story. Like the world is totally unbalanced if magic came into play. If magic exist, then it should be heavily limited, in form of what they can do with it, how powerful it is, how many people have access to it, and when and where they have access to do it. Make those things VERY strict and I might buy into it. Otherwise it's just a cheap silly thing ruining a story.
Second thing is a mess of a narrative. The story should have just been about Geralt of Rivia, with a few includes of perhaps character like Yennefer, Triss, Roche, Letho, Ciri, etc... Instead, Ciri and Yennefer almost gets more screen time than Geralt. Geralt is the main protagonist. We shouldn't watch this show as we watches Game of Thrones. We should only follow one character, and the story should go slower, because the lore should be better explained instead. Otherwise, everything just feels random to watch.
Thrid thing is the story, things... could just move faster. Would have liked to speed up scenes a bit. Get more to the point, dont follow boring depictions from the book and the games too much. But get faster to the events.
With all of that said, Henry Cavill nailed the role as Geralt. The other actors and actresses were good too. And the cinematics in of themselves were great.

Unbelievably long. Seems more a recording of a random video game session than something that started with a plot.
The beauty and tension of the first movie is transmogrified into a smorgasbord of scenes - including a cruel paraphrasing of a whale hunt - with gratuitous violence with no sense, a story with a thin plot, lots of money thrown at special effects, a score that doesn't add anything meaningful. The physics in the movie seem to ignore fluid dynamics, and some avionics aerodynamics could have been more credible. The underwater scenes are nice as in surreally nice, but other than that...
In summary, a movie designed by a committee...

The acting is good, but the story kind of blows.
When you give all the people around her actual superpowers, she kind of dillutes away and ruins everything. Cringe at times. Too much meaningless talking that leads nowhere. Netflix destroying another 90s classic and people hyping it.
In this generation, when something is kind of good, they will exaggerate it, and if something is bad they will make it seem worse than it actually is. In this case, Wednesday is the the former.
Other than the name and a few cute appearances and photos, I'm sure Tim Burton has nothing to do with this teeny soapy that is in no way, shape or form an 8+.

What happened to Black Mirror in season 6 is beyond my comprehension. Apparently they abandoned the whole lore as well as the futuristic theme almost completely. Now most episodes are just a bunch of regular random short stories involving murder and supernatural elements, what does not resemble the previous seasons in any way. A complete change of bearing to the ultimate loss of hardcore fans of the series. For starters, the season contains only 5 episodes, 3 of them having nothing to do with science fiction or "Black Mirrors" (what I suppose is an allusion to the screens present on modern devices). I hope Netflix realises what went wrong and fixes it in the next seasons. Otherwise we might just go watch the "Dust" channel on YouTube instead.

The good: Entertaining story. They were always elements of surprise and progression that kept me focused. They were great at creating conflicts between characters, and some characters/character dynamics were truly interesting. Some music selections were great.
The bad/okay: Some characters/character dynamics felt flat, which makes many scenes that were supposed to be emotional unprovoking. The dialogue felt forced at times: it wants to make sure that the information get across to you that it would make characters say things that feel unnatural. The theme is present throughout the series, but it wasn't explored deeply. Some plots were fairly predictable. They were also many noticeable editing errors that took me out of the moment.

Am a fan of suspense drama with full of mystery specially if it belongs to psychological crime genre and this one is just fantastic. Hats off to the team of the movie who made such an exciting thriller. Talking about the movie, it has a strong storyline which is the main ingredient to deliver such a incredible piece in this genre, the script writing is also as good. The cinematography, screenplay and magical direction holds you till the end, the intensity of the incidents reflects thru it's music and at the same time it also tie you up in each frame. The climax is bit sloth & crancy, might be more intact, congealed and breathtaking, but not a bad one to finish off. Overall with its screenplay & cinematography it always raises an atmosphere where you keep on guessing. Lastly, just want to say, in last few years, the south film industry has made the changes in the vision and views of content movie lovers and impressed a lot with its contents, story telling ability, risk taking capability in every genre, now a days the south movies couldn't be summed up with only masala action, larger than life portraits. And due to this, it can now attract the mass and the class from each corner of our country.

The third season of "The Witcher" exudes an air of confusion that starkly contrasts with the rooted and immersive storyline of its first season. While the initial season managed to captivate viewers with a meticulously crafted narrative, the third season seems to stumble over its own ambition. Fans who were initially drawn to the clarity and cohesion of the plot might find themselves disappointed with the multiple timelines and unnecessary complexity that have become hallmark features of this new season.
The charisma and depth of the characters remain present, but often they appear to be dragged along by a fragmented plot. Editing decisions and an uneven pace contribute to a sense of disconnect between events, making it challenging to achieve the immersion that was so notable in the first season. The careful character development is obscured by the attempt to address several parallel storylines, leading to a lack of focus.
While the first season stood out for its gradual and intriguing exploration of "The Witcher" universe, the third season seems to lose itself in its own ambition, sacrificing cohesion in pursuit of dramatic impact. While some plot twists are welcome, the saturation of complex events may alienate a portion of the audience that was enchanted by the deceptively profound simplicity of the inaugural season.
In conclusion, the third season of "The Witcher" appears to fall victim to its desire to be grandiose and innovative. While the first season captivated through its well-structured story and engaging characters, the third season seems to get lost amidst multiple narratives and a confusion that could deter even the most devoted viewers. One can only hope that the series manages to reclaim the clarity and cohesion that garnered it acclaim during its debut.

Investigative journalist Eddie Brock decides that the best way to get his career kick-started again is to interview incarcerated serial killer Cletus Kasady. However, things go awry when Cletus becomes the host to a dangerous symbiote named Carnage. With Eddie having his own trouble with his own symbiote Venom (leading to Venom leaving Eddie and finding new hosts) Eddie asks ex-girlfriend Anne to find Venom so that he can put a stop to Carnage's deadly rampage...
As sequels go Let There Be Carnage is pretty decent, if not quite as good as the first film. It's fairly short and quick to get going; though it's arguable that the first film needed to be longer and a tad slower in order to establish its origin story. The relationship between Venom and Eddie is explored well here; their exploits together are hilarious so much so that they almost behave like a married couple at times; this is highlighted in a brilliant one liner by Dan Lewis at one point in the film. I did like the way that Eddie does everything in his power to try to appease Venom even though it never quite seems to be enough.
Once Carnage is unleashed the film begins to go through the gears providing many thrilling fights between Venom and Carnage; Venom facing a more powerful adversary exposes his vulnerability which makes the fights a tad more intense. I wasn't as impressed with Shriek as a character whom for me was not particularly interesting; her extremely loud screaming just seemed a bit silly and given that this causes an issue to the symbiotes she actually acted more of a hindrance than help; again this could have been flipped to have more impact on the symbiotes had it been used better within the context of the story.
As far as the performances go then there's not much that needs to be said about Tom Hardy (whom is arguably one of the finest actors of his generation). His interplay with Venom which essentially set the pair up as a double act was both amusing and at times strained as he has to continually try to keep control of his symbiote as well as keeping him happy. Woodly Harrelson is great and puts in a very memorable performance. Naomi Harris (whom I have to admit to not recognising at first) is also superb, but I just wish that her character was more interesting. Michelle Williams does well with what she had to work with, but isn't used very well and I didn't think much of Reid Scott's performance (then again maybe it's not entirely his fault as he felt like a bit of a nothing character). Stephen Graham is also good in his respective role.
Serkis fast-paced direction and general sense of fun do help to paper over some of the cracks that exist with characterisation etc and the special effects are also top notch.
Whilst this falls ever so slightly short of being as good as the first film, it is a lot of fun and blitzes by at a lightning pace. There was plenty of carnage, but in this film that was a good thing.

The potential is there but it just felt so drawn out. Loads of filler scenes in every episode, loads of talking that leads nowhere, loads of what some would call "artsy" dance scenes etc, that really do nothing for the plot - which progresses at a snail's pace. Also, having 10 eps of thin plot, one would think they at least got some proper character development going, but at the end, you really don't care about or feel anything for any of the characters. They touch some subjects that could leave some impact on the viewers if done right, but are left unexplored. You can not show me a scene of a mother crying over her daughter when there basically are no scenes about them prior to it, and expect me to get touched.
Highlight of the cast is number 5, he has a bright future, everyone else's acting is kind of meh with Ellen Page being the worst. Me and my wife ended up laughing when she did her crying scenes, so bad at acting. She should be happy that she got away with doing her depressed face 95% of the screen time, which is probably how she normally looks in her everyday life.
I expected more, should have been better - 6/10

I regret wasting 2:30hrs of my life & 1gb of my Jio Data on a garbage movie like this. 1st of all it is Painfully Slow. and as the movie progresses you keep loosing interest, because you realise that the director is trying to keep you engaged in useless predictable sub-plots, that will lead you nowhere. also some of the scenes are so over the top, filmy & unrealistic, that it destroy the tension & thrill. lets talk about the plot twists, those are so bad, that the Protagonist needs to scream it hundreds of times & u still don't care. and the director/writer just mashed elements from famous Hollywood movies & creted a mess. Honest Rating : 5/10

Whenever someone mentions Iron Man 2, they usually call it bad or say something bad about it. But I think it was actually pretty good and I had so much fun. I guarantee, you won't be bored for a second.
It wasn't better than the first Iron Man, but it was better than The Incredible Hulk. It's lighter than The Incredible Hulk, but darker than Iron Man. Robert Downey Jr. shines again in the leading role and this time we is developed a lot more than in the first one. In the first one, he is shown as this cool, funny scientist who becomes a superhero, but what I liked here the most is that we get to see that he is no more than just another ordinary human with his own personal conflicts. We get to see who Tony Stark really is. This movie also brings us some new faces: Scarlett Johansson as a super-cool female hero Natasha Romanoff a.k.a. Black Widow, Sam Rockwell as one out of the two villains is really annoying but that's probably the way his character is supposed to be so I don't blame him, with the other villain being played by Mickey Rourke. And why Rourke was decent, he was just that typical Russian villain you see in many Hollywood movies. And also, Terrence Howard was recast and Don Cheadle got his role and I can say that Cheadle may even be a bit better. Some people say that a big problem of this movie is that it's setting up MCU too much. But if you ask me, that kinda had to happen eventually and they made it fit with the plot so it isn't all over the place.
Overall, this movie was very entertaining and it's also probably the best of the "weaker" MCU movies so far.

This movie celebrates Abhishek Bachachan, his father's son. When you are the son of one of the best actors of the world of all times, you have the pressure to step into the shoes of your father. It doesn't happen often that a son matches up to his father in stature.
In this film Abhishek Bahcachan does just that. He gives a performance his old man would've been proud of. Abhishek proves his pedigree. This is a difficult role. Not only because he has to portray a wide range in his character but also because his character has some of the cheesiest lines. But he makes you forget that the lines are out of place here and there. He goes flat out on this one, and gives a performance which is probably the best of this year. Probably matching up to Amitabh's in Black.
About the film. Its a Mani Ratnam film, which raises the expectations immensely and nearly lives up to it. Its a well written story and direction is up to the mark. There is a slight problem with screenplay and the songs and dance sequences break the flow of story telling. A good film nonetheless and a great viewing.
Though Abhishek steals the show; other actors are pretty good too. Mithun proves again why he is 2 times National Award winner. He is a legendary actor who has been wasting his time and talent in crappy movies for a long time now. Hope he would get better roles after this. Ash is good in the second half but her choreography is not up to the mark and she looks bland and unsophisticated while dancing. Vidya Balan is wasted and R Madhvan is good in a small role.
A word about cinematography is necessary. This is one of the best shot movies of last year, with breathtaking views and the last scene with Guru giving his speech to a stadium full of people looks more real than reality itself.
Over all a good movie, best since Munna Bhai 2.

The characters are consistent throughout the entire 3 season plot. The plot is, however, completely inconsistent. This is great for possibilities, but terrible for a concrete, understandable storyline.
As far as characters go, George Sr is somehow always bouncing between guilt and innocence, standing firm and fleeing, and being principled and being a cop-out. Michael is rejected and harmed constantly by his family, yet feels the need to continue to provide for them. Those are probably the most frustrating characteristics of the show, and what most of the plots rely on for conflict and resolution. Certainly, they keep you laughing all the way with references to other characters, past episodes, cameos, etc.
Sure, there were plenty of loose ends, but the series finale closed the most important ones, and quite hilariously.
Now that we know a fourth season is being made, it will be interesting where they take the story. I hope that the writers find a way to change the George Sr/Michael dynamic, but I know I'll watch it either way.

These two Shakespearean "monsters" took the whole episode on their shoulders. High promises for a prequel. I would give a 9/10 but let's keep lower expectations in order not be disappointed(for further AD&D info, you don't allow a Thief (Arya Stark) to kill the TRUE FINAL BOSS, a Necromancer (Nightking)). Thus, 8/10.

The plot: There are 2 story threads here that merge. 1. The government and military are putting pressure on Tony Stark to turn over the Iron Man Technology to them. 2. Some Russian guy blames Tony's dad for the persecution and death of his own father and seeks revenge. How he goes about it ties into the government's claims that the Iron man technology is better served by giving it to them. Analysis: Enjoyable action-filled movie; well acted and written. Worth your time. If you're not a comic book buff or nut you don't need to read further. You have all you need.
Some entertainers (actors, musicians, athletes, IMDb reviewers,etc.) use a "stage" name and the public is generally unaware of their real name or private identity. But if some find out what their real name is (as sometimes happens) it might not matter because they're more familiar with the stage name and persona and prefer it. In this instance the private identity is eclipsed or overshadowed by the familiar and public persona. However, because Tony Stark is well known in his own right as a famous inventor and head of a well known company (Stark Industries, Inc.) this would not happen. Not to mention the fact that he enjoys attention; seems to need it; thrives on it; is a bit of a ham.
So I gotta ask: when people see Iron Man flying across the sky, do they say, "There goes Iron Man", --or do they say, "There goes Tony Stark"? There are practical reasons why super heroes (and people involved in important and dangerous operations) need a secret identity; need to maintain a separation; and I'm sure you can guess them. So while I enjoyed the movie, and while I know it's just fantasy, I cannot help but wonder at the unnecessary and foolish recklessness and vanity of Tony Stark that makes him put so much at risk in order to share the limelight with his alter ego Iron Man. And this is beside the point: What is it about good-looking women in form-fitting outfits that beat people up that turns me on? Love, Boloxxxi.

First of All congratulations to Anurag and Vikram,I have always loved their work.It is an excellent start to original netflix content in India. Opening scene is enough to show you that this is not your typical Indian show. Nawab and Saif are excellent in the show,but I felt Radhika's character was underdeveloped. Cinematography and those long shots bring alive the MUMBAI (an important character in the show).Gaitonde identity and 25 days threat makes it excellent thriller. I loved this season, can not wait for season 2.

The show began with a lot of potential but it didn't quite live upto the mark. The season 4 especially was the worst ever. The hype of Moriarty being back pulled you in but it ends up being nothing! The reboot of Hound of Baskervilles is an example of how an amazing story could be mangled. Literally, Sherlock's mind runs through these random words until he comes up with some H.O.U.N.D project name off of some obscure connections that only his mind can make. The audience cannot observe his brilliant deductions and inferences as they never get a glimpse of the context or a perspective of the evidences that Sherlock observes.

I was waiting and waiting for the movie to have some sort of a plot. I was bored for 2 hrs and 41 min. There was no point to the movie. I will say the acting was good. There was a few parts that were funny, but the movie was terrible. The ending was the only good part of the entire thing. Can I have my money back?

Dull crime puzzle only compensated by MBB's and HC's charming performance and a good production. A little bit too obvious in making some male characters look ridiculous even for a pro-feminist movie I would not recommend to anyone older than 12.

Yes, its the biggest screw up for the mcu so far. Really didnt make me wanting more marvel, they could have done so much better then making the captain america title a joke here. The moment they started to make it about the color of your skin for the second of twenty times, they lost me completly.
It felt so forced the last episode, they did all they could to make sam a superhero. Dont want Bucky to wield the shield either, all stars seems gone in the mcu. Next avengers movie gonna feel lika suicide squad beta.
Bring back chris and tony please, even my kids are losing interest when i told em about hulk and thors not so promising future. At least they got spiderman and deadpool.

There's keys to good storytelling. One of them is suspension of disbelief. Nowhere in this episode was my utter disbelief remotely suspended, from the inherent issues that spew from the futuristic technology to the characters actions/reactions. The whole thing was a farce, wearing a current topical issue on its sleeve in an attempt to be thought provoking. Terrible. The only extra star I gave it was for the actors attempt to save a criminally bad script.

This movie is not that bad. The story sucks and its all over the place, but it's meant to be entertaining and funny, not serious. Ryan Reynolds does a good job of making this a comedy. Its overly violent and even too much in some scenes, but it's still enjoyable nonetheless.

Please disregard people who don't know how to search for individual episodes to rant on them and give the show a low rating.
This show is one of the best ever made but its important to understand that not every show is for everyone and some you will love and some you may not.
I also think there are a lot of people who simply are negative because Miley Cyrus is in the last season and don't give her face value similiar to if it were Justin Bieber as a main actor and quite frankly I thought she gave a top notch performance and I thought it was one of the best episodes and actually one of the most believable stories with a really cool concept. I would give that episode a 9 out of 10 if it were me but I would chose to find said episode and review it properly.
Either way this show is almost a 100% but not perfect like planet earth.

It's ok. Some interesting story but the way it was edited together I just didn't care for it much. The 5th episode being just backstory really messed up the pacing and development. Isn't something I want to see a 2nd season of or would go back to rewatch any time soon.

"Mandatory fun" were the first words I scribbled in my notebook after sitting through Damien Chazelle's oppressively whimsical throwback. This year's The Artist, La La Land is another hollow exercise striving to be a simulacrum of a thing while pretty much missing the whole point of what it's trying to replicate. Yet much like Michel Hazanavicius' instantly forgotten 2011 Oscar darling, 2016's presumptive Best Picture winner has inspired a bizarrely defensive cult of otherwise intelligent, level-headed people blathering uncritically about "movie magic" while hurling personal attacks at we "bitter folks" who dare not adore their beloved confection. In the weeks since being underwhelmed by La La Land I've been told I have no heart, no love for film and that I must be unable to experience joy. So basically it's a superhero movie for middlebrows.
The strain shows from the opening number, in which commuters stuck in gridlock on the Los Angeles freeway jump from their cars and begin belting out one of the film's many unmemorable tunes. Chazelle sneaks his edits inside of whip-pans to give the illusion that this is all taking place in a single, unbroken shot. But his time may have better been spent working on the choreography – which seems to be comprised mainly of the dancers throwing their arms up in the air and then putting them back down again. As with the Full Metal Julliard histrionics of his previous picture Whiplash, there's no pleasure in the filmmaking here — just the blood, sweat and gritted teeth of Chazelle's self-conscious virtuosity. Every frame of this film cries out, "Are you not entertained?" Five minutes in I wanted to pat the poor guy on the head, give him a cookie and tell him it's okay to chill out a little bit.
Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone star as Sebastian and Mia, two mismatched lovers struggling to be real artists in a city rotten with commercial compromise. He's a jazz pianist, one so committed to his art he gets himself fired from gigs all over town for refusing to play standards and improvising like a lunatic instead. On their first date Sebastian takes Mia to a jazz club and mansplains the music to her in that especially insufferable way white boys have of putting people off the entire art form. (It should also be noted that for all of Sebastian's fanaticism he appears to have no qualms about loudly talking over a live performance.) Mia wants to be an actress and claims she's an outcast because she loves old Hollywood movies, yet strangely all we see of this is her lying about a film she hasn't seen. There's not really a character here, just lots of vague idealism that Emma Stone's considerable charisma somehow manages to make watchable. As we've seen in films both decent (Crazy Stupid Love) and unwatchable (Gangster Squad), she and Gosling are enormously charming together. Their chemistry props up La La Land for far longer than it should, particularly as these two struggle mightily with the singing and dancing.
(Speaking as someone who still feels sorry for Russell Crowe and Pierce Brosnan, I'll never figure out why filmmakers continue to insist on casting actors with no musical theatre training in musicals. Were Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick really that busy? Anne Hathaway not returning phone calls? Why go with the one guy from The Mickey Mouse Club who didn't dance or sing?) Chazelle studiously mimics the candy-colored palates and elaborate soundstages of classic musicals and ticks off all the expected references without understanding that the pleasures of those old movies lie in their elegance and relaxed grace. Everything's about exertion with this dude. The writer-director's monastic bent comes up again in what becomes the movie's misguided central conflict: John Legend pops up as a hugely successful musician who hires Sebastian to play keyboards in his touring band. But this dream gig isn't artistically pure enough for Mia, who attends an arena show at which much mockery is made of the audience for enjoying it. Pretty sure I'm not the first to point out that Legend's band is treated with the derision of Ghost World's Blueshammer.
Okay, so it was here that I really started to hate Mia. Her guy's landed a job most musicians would kill for and she's chewing his broke ass out for not somehow magically finding the money to open his own jazz club instead. She's also still a freaking barista at this point. And let's not even get into the ugly optics of the two white leads with middling musical talent being held up as paragons of artistic integrity while John freakin' Legend is presented as some sort of sellout loser. (He's also the only black guy in this movie that's allegedly about jazz, which at least is one more brother than was in Chazelle's last film about jazz. This is progress, I guess.) La La Land lunges for the bittersweet melancholy of Jacques Demy's The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg, but has no interest in that movie's heartbreaking economic realities. The super-entitled Sebastian and Mia have amazing career opportunities fall out of the sky into their laps and both get pretty much everything they've ever wanted in the end without having to compromise or work very hard. The final ten minutes of La La Land are undeniably effective –just like the ludicrous ending of Whiplash was– because Chazelle knows how to work an audience over until you say "uncle." As for the dopey received wisdom that nobody's making movies in this genre anymore, on my ten-best list last year were both Chi-Raq and Magic Mike XXL – two musicals full of more joy, innovation and imagination in any given number than you'll find in the entirety of La La Land's labored, freeze-dried replica.

The story, sets and at times fantastic effects are constantly overshadowed in every episode by how overwhelmingly out of her depth Parker Posey is, she is just awful....and I mean awful, unconvincing, terrible acting, to the point where she's actually irritating and you hope she dies in every episode...badly!! The robot is the one real good thing about this whole show...go Robot.

Fan had a very smooth beginning, it continues till the first half. There is no point in digging into the logics of a commercial Indian movie. But, it has to be convincing atleast. They had a very funny way to telling audience how the "Fan" reached London, but from there everything was against logic. At times it becomes a Jackie Chan movie, sometimes Mission Impossible to James Bond. Though there are goofs on the VFx, the young version of SRK was very impressive, especially the Jail scene. It gave the feeling of a lion and lamb.

I recognized james camerons incredibly works Alien movies features such as gunships , robotic armors, machines and cave textures And ujique marine life forms are also great work. But script is nothing and using bow like Predator movies Prey's protagonist they have 100% accurate and full of penetration. And why avatar risk theyr life to took human weapons such as automatic rifles after still keep using bows and arrows, spears primitive weapons. What happens with Sea Avatars group in the end? Where were they? Wakanda Forever is much much better than this. What they have purpose to fight each other? Just for his family? Or just for revenges? Or to take miracle medicines? Suddenly Asian humans hunts down whales in the middle of battle with for immortality medicine ? All scripts are going wrong its like made by randomized. And One of human called as monkeyboy or spiderboy(why call this? Another racism for Asian? Poor acting and naming)and i don't get it why he is so many times switching sides friendly or foe and boss villan is also blue so disappointed. And why so looong sequences? Tooo maany National Geographic like scenes or just meaning less and have no relation of main story scenes. Even action scenes are nothing new features its sooo normal. And zero gore scene(just a little couple seconds take by far far away. Is not counted)I watched mx4d 3d. I watched can't stay of complete end roll . I regret selected this already. I don't recommend it. Watch on normal screen or just wait for release on web streaming is enough. If you want to play with ocean life go to play HTC Vive Steam VR game called "TheBlu" you also can touch with them play with them and of course it is 3D. Its almost 6 yeas ago already released so Nothing new specific features. Can't believe other great reviews and took about 10 years to finish this. And this time why doesnt have Michelle Rodriguez? I thought she love whales and dolphins?
Except Shigourny. Weaver or Sam. W other characters hard to reconnized who is who. And play by S weaver character Kiri is a teenage kid with ages female voice its just little a bit odd? Yes of course she is not teenage. All of Faces made by cgi but forgot fix voice tones?
I felt asleep even in mx4d.
I hope no more Avaters. I can't believe they have plans to sequels. Nexttime no more Humanoid's characters. Just make one of only those Extraterrestrial marine ocean life's movie like an aquarium. I love those beautiful animals and nature. Human and Avater please keep do nonsenses civil wars and both sides are not survive. After Ocean lifes would be happy ever after and make one of sequel of them.

I really wanted to love this film, and I do feel guilty rating it at 6/10. All 6 points are for the cinematography. Visually it was a stunning film, the scene with George MacKays character running through the ruined town was breathtaking, a real triumph. But in my opinion the acting from the two main characters let the film down. Both were just a bit flat, and when things happened to each it was difficult to connect and empathise with them.
Maybe my expectations were too high. I would never tell people not to watch 1917, I just can't imagine I'll go back for a second try.

I hope they will close it and stop making that kind of sh***t show Can't understand type of people who like it But for Netflix fans that's alright. You just watch and not interesting how it must be There amazing story in books.

It is not even close to the original Knives Out and I was really expecting more considering the cast. The inclusion of the so called pandemic and regulations was nothing short of pathetic and made me want to stop the movie several times. Two hours of wasted time I will never get back and so predictable. I already had it worked out as soon as they landed on the island, the acting mediocre and some actors should just stick with their original voices as so much was difficult to understand. I also have to laugh at how they always make things look so glamorous and try to make you think that everyone is a major suspect. A great way to fall asleep.

We paid $32 ($16 each) to see this in IMax 3D. After the hype on media we thought maybe this will be something special. What a disappointment. Better to wait and see it on DVD if you must. The 3D effects were amateurish at best. If you lift your glasses the movie looks basically the same. If you ever saw 2010,the floating pencil, the effects are the same. And if you ever saw the 3D show at Disney World in the 1990s the not so special effects in Gravity are worse. And the 3D effects are the best thing about the movie. There is little if any plot. "OMG we're being assaulted by space debris. We have to get some place safe. Opps somebody died there." Same plot over and over. No surprises there. I like Sandra Bullock and George Clooney but maybe this would have been more believable with unknown actors in the parts. On second thought, no actors could help this movie. It's a perfect example of ' The Emperor's New Clothes '. Tell them this is the best movie of the year....and they will see what they are told. Hollywood save money on scripts like this and remake Metroplolis or 2001.

Modern Disney is unable to deliver the magic like they used to, so they 'reimagine' every classic for nostalgia's sake but without the charm of the original. Ultra realistic CGI animals trying to express human emotions are a joke. You need exaggerated facial animations for that, like in a cartoon. Pumba is just ugly as hell in this movie.

I'm sure it will get better but I found this episode slow and hard to follow. I also don't particularly like any of the lead characters. However its laughable there are people coming on here and complaining that they cast some black people because it's not realistic. There are giant flying dragons in the show. If you are ok with that you should be ok with some black characters.

Maybe i "overrated" this film, but i loves this film
-Best thing- The slapstick humor and the fights -Worst- Script is weak, but adds to the personality, and makes a "nod" to older Kung-Fu films.
The first fight scene i saw was amazing, i keep playing it over and over, i simply love this film, and to see the rating go from a 6.8 to a 7.8 makes me happy, i saw this when it was released on DVD, and at the time enjoyed it, but now i have "film knowledge" i like it x2 more. The thing that i can see being a problem is the script, and the silly moments, if your a "casual" movie goer then it could turn you off, but even so the films fights alone should be enough to entertain you, this is not a serious film, have fun with it.
If you like slapstick, Kung-Fu, Silly, Well choreographed films i'm sure you'll find this a blast.

Some movies are cinematic benchmarks. Movies used as standards for merit and excellence for years following their release. Films such as Citizen Kane, The Third Man, The Godfather... films from the oeuvres of masters of the craft such as Hitchcock or Kubrick.
On the other hand, there are movies like Steven Spielberg's The Fabelmans. Did I just say "movies"? Use of the plural here implies that there are other movies out there as bad as this one. Maybe there are, but I'm hard pressed to name one off the top of my head. Even when judged solely on the basis of the leviathan that is the director's self indulgence, The Fabelmans earns its place at the very apex of bad movies, Sadly, that self indulgence is just the tip of the iceberg. An iceberg larger than the one sent the Titanic plunging to the bottom of the sea, carrying thousands to their deaths. If that comparison seems overblown than I must ask, have you no sympathy in your heart for the MILLIONS of movie viewers who died figuratively from soul-crushing boredom brought on by The Fabelmans?
Say what you will about supposedly bad movies; films ranging from 1959's Plan 9 From Outer Space to a more contemporary film like Tommy Wiseau The Room, at least they didn't induce a 2 and a half hour long coma in the audience.
In all seriousness, it took me three days to watch The Fabelmans. Even while using a generous shot of whiskey as a chaser, I could only swallow 10 to 15 minutes of it at a time. While little Sammy Fabelman obsessively crashed and filmed his train set, I obsessively fought the urge to check my watch, fearing that my already challenged sense of reality wouldn't be able to cope with knowing only 3 minutes had passed since the last time I'd checked. And seriously, Judd Hirsch got an Oscar nod for this? As best I could tell he was just reprising his role as Jeff Goldblum's dad in Independence Day. For me, the high point of the film was when Sammy's mom was doing her dance in front of the headlights, which gave me a momentary urge to check online to see if Michelle Williams had ever done any nude scenes.
So why didn't I just stop watching? Because it is a Spielberg movie so surely it has to get better.
PS: It never did get better.
In 1851, Herman Melville gifted us with his classic novel Moby Dick. A man vs nature story in which Captain Ahab, acting with equal measures of obsession and hubris, pursues his nemesis, the great white whale. That story ends with Ahab's death. In 2022 Spielberg provided us the dubious gift of a story that served as a metaphorical fight between a movie director and his own ego. That story ends with the death of Spielberg's reputation.
For me, The Fabelmans has become the benchmark to which all other movies will be compared - just not in a good way. Like Diogenes, lamp held high and fated to wander through Athens in search of an honest man, I will devote myself to seeking out a movie worse than The Fabelmans. Wish me Godspeed and good luck in my quest.

I mean... it's not horrible, but it's definitely not good. I'm actually not sure what it was... not truly a comedy, not truly a musical, not really a SF, not really a drama. I dunno, a weird mix, but in very blend way... from my perspective it didn't have any strong points, any strong punch lines, anything that "sticked" after watching it. Seemed somewhat like a weird and nostalgic attempt to revive the brand, if you ask me... not sure if that was the purpose, but that's my opinion.
The one scene that I liked though, and made sense for me, was the one with Billie Eilish's song in the background. That was legit and got my focus and some emotions, even.
Other than that... I'd say it's a simplistic, unpretentious watch if nothing better is on TV or streaming apps.

This movie is flat. Scenes changed and I kept waiting for something to happen in a substantial way. There is some graphic violence, but it added little to any tension or actual drama, and if it had been edited out you probably wouldn't even notice. The character with the most chilling gravitas is the Matron. All of the "episodes" in the movie are way too thin and didn't allow for any character development. I also wondered if it was miscast. Sort of felt like it. The book is compelling, complex, and a page turner and you, the reader / viewer, actually engage the characters and care about them. Much, much better than this cinematic miss.

It was enjoyable, however, what made it enjoyable for me was Sherlock himself only, and his emotional self, I found the rest of the characters pretty annoying, even John. The story had a lot of plot holes and lazy/absurd conclusions, they wanted to make a masterpiece by connecting the start with the end, but to me the way they did it just felt clumsy, even with all that, I watched until the end because I really liked the character of Sherlock and his way of solving cases and analyzing people/places, he is a hilarious character, the rest are meh, whatever, the most annoying one had to be the antagonist, not because he was the "bad guy" but because I found his character extremely cringy, it wasn't a well written antagonist, but yeah, it's still worth the watch if you have no idea what to start watching and you just want to chill/multitask.
I forgot to say that at some point, they focus too much on John and his private life, even if it made sense, it was soooo annoying and repetitive to watch...

When Marvel were producing their own product we had highly original content well scripted, well acted and well presented. Under Disney's charge this has evolved to bizarre content, very poorly scripted, the actors are obviously trying their hearts out but the presentation plotting defeats everything. Why have we wasted two entire episodes to establish that the mains are inhabiting some sort of artificially constructed environment? That sort of nonsense can be handled in a matter of minutes. I watched the whole 1st episode expecting something to give but was bitterly disappointed. I recorded the 2nd issue so I wouldn't be tempted to open a vein and was wise to do so because I nearly wore the jump forward button out. Who approves this todge and what drugs are they taking? Please let me know because I want to know what to avoid if it's ever offered to me. I was quite ambivalent to the idea of Dismalney taking over MCU and I'm afraid that feeling so far appears to have been very well founded. The reason for scoring this as a 2 is the sum of the first two episodes; let's all hope I don't have to update to 3 because from then on I will have to start deducting points.

It cannot even write a proper story, it just references itself in an endless loop, trying to please fans, making bland jokes, sacrificing good dialogue, good actresses and actors, engaging stories, nice emotions, just for the sake of saying 'it's me'.
I've would've loved a more profound treatment of the madness and horror aspect of the movie, it would have made it truly stand out. DS1 is in every aspect better.

If you've seen any "End of the World as We Know It" movies before then you'll be overjoyed how this one falls right in those well worn directorial footsteps. Small group of "survivors" start disappearing one by one because they are unbelievably stupid at all the wrong moments. At least we'll all know what NOT to do if there is ever a real Doomsday as in DON'T open doors to strangers, DON'T give the crazy guy a gun, or think playing Big Brother in a house full of morons is a recipe for success. Did this film ripoff other previous versions of Last Man Standing? Of course. It's Hollywood, where originality died a long time ago.

OK, this bored me to tears. Did folks not know the crash was due to companies 'propping' the market? Anybody buy a house and offered twice as much as they wanted? I was. I told them I live within my means and bought a home accordingly. It is the story of 3 levels of folks who figure out the market early,later, and latest from my view. Not interesting. How did they do this? I read the news and know how they did this, the mortgage folks that is. A lot of over characterizations based on one person representation such as the scenes about the rating agency. This is a film for those not clueful about this and those who are woefully uninformed. I was bored. I did not find Bael's performance was interesting or enlightening in any way. Why is a geek investor noting the numbers interesting?

This movie is by far the most excellent piece by the Coen's if not any director. Well written with surprising, comic, dialogue that always makes you smile no matter how many times you've seen the movie. Steve Buscemi, as Carl Showalter, gives his greatest performance ever. As does W. H. Macy, playing the first villain I ever really felt sorry for. This is a great movie to see and gets top stars from me.

I was hoping to actually see something different and a more intriguing storyline with better cast,better writting but really what you get it's a very very slow burn telenovela (DC signature) wrapped up in meaningless dialogue across the entire first season.The only thing that save's this and makes it a little more appealing it's the soundtrack obviously impeccable. I'm seeing this trend of slow burning storyline all over these now shows and is just a display of lazy,disgraceful and pathetic attitude first of all coming from the writers .Hard thing to find a great tv show , i rather watch again some old tv shows then to waist my time searching something special these days.

Negative commenters get over yourselves! The show was fun to watch and contained plenty of drama. Was it perfect? No. But meant to be exactly what it was. Good ole fashioned entertainment with cliffhangers keeping you wanting to tune back in. Although Dr. Smith, the fake one, just really needs to go already.

I started watching it hoping to see what all this fuss is about. so luckily didn't start with any expectations.and turned out i was right. -_-
the making of this series was okay. the plot seemed really really weak to me. Hannah baker wasn't a troubled kid unlike Justine Foley. she belonged from a happy family. So i didn't get the fact that where it all started? without sharing her loneliness, despite having good bonding with her mother,how on earth she committed suicide because of some stupid so called classmates.i don't know but i didn't find Hannah's 13 reasons anything intriguing.And i really don't understand what clay Jensen was doing all the time and why is he on the tape?? -_-
maybe teenage drama is not what i am looking for right now but all the reasons have some gap and highly overstated.series should be little bit real or completely fictitious but when you make series on recent talked about topics like bullying or teenage suicide or on physical abuse i think u need to find a solution not giving some stupid ideas like recording tapes and give it to your classmates than your parents?so what does it teach? Not to raise your voice against physical abuse and suicide quietly not to tell your parents who brought you in this world? A complete time waste -_-

For biased fans, please don't just rate 10 just because you want it to have a high rating. Be honest with yourself. Is this what you really consider a 10? If I'm generous, I'd give it a 4.5 and I really wanted to like it. ! It doesn't really help the show to get better and the producers won't seek to improve it.
This show is supposed to be a Comedy in which I finished 2 episodes so much as a smile. I waited and waited. Please watch the show and then give your honest opinion.
I gave it a chance and if I'm 100% honest, this is extremely lame. Maybe it was aimed at the Disney children's crowd, even then it falls short.

This is too slow. I am fine with some very slow movies, but this one, I just didn't care about. We gave up after more than two hours in, only about 75 minutes left. We thought about continuing the next day, but in the end decided, "Why bother?" Every part of it feels like a rehash of every other tough guy Italian film. Bottom line is I just didn't care.

Anthony and Joe Russo showed that they can do action, direction, compelling characters, and a gripping story. This is my favorite Marvel movie after GotG, it develops both Natasha's and Steve's character as well as introducing a new character, Sam Wilson, in perhaps my favorite character introduction of all time. 9.3/10

WandaVision is a fun show to watch in your free time. But it's not something important or necessary in my opinion. I watched 9 episodes but only a couple of them were actually good and serve a purpose in the bigger picture of the MCU. The show is very light and entertaining but I don't get why people are overhyping it a lot on social media.

I thought this remake was attached to the original show. ...Wrong. It has a new independent plot that, in my opinion, is way much better than the original. That said, if you're looking for a nostalgic experience resembling the Lost in Space old days, this is not for you. (honestly, I think that's exactly the reason why many people gave a low rating) Great effects and plot twists.

"My name is Khan" was published in 2010 and directed by the famous Bollywood-Director Karan Johar. In this story the main character Rizvan Khan (Shahrukh Khan), who suffers from Aspberger's Syndrome, leaves India after his mother's death and moves to San Francisco, where his brother, who used to be jealous as Rizvan was paid attention to, lives with his wife. He has to handle many new problems there.
Due to his disease Rizvan, a Muslim Indian, cannot see anything of yellow colour because it makes him extremely nervous. Once walking along the yellow zebra crossing in San Francisco he all of a sudden stops in the middle of the street and is afraid. A tram horns in order to make him leave the street. But it scares him even more. That is when the Hindu woman Mandira helps him and says that "it's okay to have fears, but they should not restrain you from reaching your aims." Rizvan falls in love with Mandira and makes every effort to win her love. Mandira's son Sameer likes him a lot and sees him as his father. Although it is scandalous in the Indian culture to marry Hindus when being a Muslim, Rizvan and Mandira marry and move into a house next to the Garricks. They become friends with them. Sameer and Reese Garrick are of the same age and go to the same school. After the 9/11 incident more and more Muslims are discriminated against, robbed, fired and insulted. Sameer is bullied at school but his friend Reese protects him at first. Unfortunately Mr. Garrick dies during his mission in Afghanistan. Now even Reese blames Muslims for everything bad that happens and ignores Sameer. When trying to talk to Reese one day on the football field a couple of teenagers join them. They insult Sameer and start to beat him. When they finally stop they realise that they have killed the boy and run away. Mandira suffers a lot. So does Rizvan, but he actually cannot understand what has happened, why Muslims are discriminated against and beaten. Mandira makes every effort to find the culprit. She remains unsuccessful, which is why she goes to the football field ones again in her desperate situation. Rizvan follows her and tries to calm her but in her anger Mandira shouts at him and tells him to go away. He asks her when to come back. So she answers that he can return, when he achieves to go to the president and tell him that he is a Muslim but not a terrorist. What she did not expect is that Rizvan takes it seriously. He packs his bag and heads for George W. Bush. Because he always repeats his famous sentence "My name is Khan, and I am not a terrorist" he has to face many conflicts and problems. On the one hand he sometimes is not even taken seriously but on the other hand people are scared when hearing the word "terrorist". What will happen to him? Will he be able to fulfil his task and talk to the president? Will he see Mandira ever again?
"My name is Khan" is definitely not a typical Bollywood- film as there are no scenes where everyone is singing and dancing. Yet, it is colourful and includes Indian music, mainly used as film music in this case. I am of the opinion that the actors embodied the characters very powerfully. That is why the film was so heartbreaking. Obviously criticism is levelled against the western society and the way they treat Muslims. I would recommend this to everyone who likes to watch serious films that also include some funny parts and love-story sequences. Having watched this, your attitude towards Muslims will surely change. I personally enjoyed watching this film. I had to cry a lot and empathised with the main characters. The way Kajol acted as Mandira and also Shahrukh Khans acting skills were very natural and realistic, which appealed to me a lot.

So are we supposed to be improving or regressing back to lackluster PC Orwellian days. Thought control and nonsensical characters that bore me to death. Where is the world headed? Saw like two minutes of the pilot and knew I would hate it, unlike Altered Carbon which seems to be slightly more plausible than this Politically correct nightmarish characters that will Force you Morally enjoy new State programming rammed down your throat, otherwise, you must be a MAGA kind of guy. Yeah. Please stop this sort of programming. I'm already producing my own YouTube videos to counter this nonsense and eventually start making my own short films and then movies down the road. With main stream media failing along with Hollywood Weinstein like bosses, we might just be approaching a golden era of Indie Art, free of political correctness.

Tobey is too thin. We saw in the first SM Tobey as PP thin but transforms as Spiderman into a nicely buff young man. Its gone in this movie. Has Tobey been sick? I think this one uses too much computer generation. I know, I know that its scifi, but I think they tried to carry the whole movie with CG. Also I think they tried too hard to show the contrast between PP and his alter-ego as SM. More to the point that SM is strong and has a purpose and PP is a goof. Its a wonder that PP survived long enough to become spiderman on that fateful day. With as little self-esteem as PP has NOW when he knows he is SM the poor guy couldn't have made it long as PP only. I know some of you will say he (PP) is just acting to preserve his PP persona, but is he or did the writers just over do it. Overall I was a little disappointed in this sequel, but not to the point that I won't see SM 3 when it comes out.

For the record I've NEVER posted anything on IMDb, and have been reading others' reviews for a decade.
Anyway, I was "too lazy" to give this show a chance because I've not been a fan of the Marvel movies or the Marvel universe overall. Let me just say I was completely missing out! So, I have signed up on IMDb just to tell all of you on the fenc-ers wondering if this show is worth your time: IT TOTALLY IS.
Science fiction but without being campy or TOO science fiction-ey? CHECK! Nerdy references? CHECK! Hilarious and makes you laugh out loud? CHECK! Entertaining and not super serious? CHECK! Building overall plot line and character development? CHECK!
The first episode didn't grab me at at all honestly - but by episode 3 I was hooked.
What's great about this show is that it's classic Joss Whedon: You can enjoy it, want to watch more of it, but don't feel compulsed to watch 13 episodes in a row (most shows these days are mini-soap operas with their not-obvious-but-totally-there cliffhangers, forcing you to watch an entire season at once)
Definitely give this show a shot (3 episodes) - even if you think you might not enjoy it. I wish I had picked this up a year ago, and am glad I gave it a chance.
Fair warning: If you're NOT a person who can suspend some measure of reality (e.g. one of those "That could never really happen man, there are too many holes in the logic" kind of people) this show is NOT for you (but you probably knew that).
I also recognize this is not the best formatted review but I'm in a rush to go watch episode 7 now. WOOO!

I don't know how this show got 9+ rating. I decided to watch this show because of rating but when I watched it. Drama and romantic scenes were unexpectedly worse . Fully Waste of time 😔😔😔😔. I am giving 3 star because of episode 4 was better experience full then others.

This is a well made child horror movie but a horrible super hero one. First time I couldn't finish a Marvel movie. I believe they wanted to make it interesting but they lost the feeling of the Marvel movies.

I'm not really sure how the plot relates with the title. Actually, i had no idea what the movie was about until I saw other people saying it's a filler.
Nevertheless, the animation was awesome. And it was nice to be reminded of the wizarding world

I'm not sure replacing Elliot with a frustrated, mute, female Noah Taylor; the alien with one of Dr Who's sea devils; filling the script with ridiculous plot holes; and suspending disbelief way beyond breaking point is enough to prevent Spielberg taking a share of the limited royalties this rip off might manage to scrape together.
You may get a neck strain from shaking your head a few too many times as the nonsense unfolds.

Let me start this review by saying this: I am a devoted Marvel fan and despite the contents of the new Doctor Strange movie and of this review, I will continue to watch the movies Marvel produces with a fascinated interest and a nerd's enthusiasm. That said, I feel that the newest Marvel movie has left something to be desired. The romance and emotional moments in the movie were cheesy, the humor was poor in the rare places where it existed, and at some points the graphics were so violent and gory that I forgot that I was watching a Marvel movie. On top of this, I feel like the movie doesn't do Wanda's character justice. I know that quite a few members of my family adore Wanda, and they are going to be utterly disappointed and shocked by her character in this movie. I also feel that a better title for this movie would be Multiverse of Ridiculousness, due to the fact that halfway through the movie, we are greeted for our ticket price by the Illuminati!! Seriously, Marvel!?!??!?!? What truly surprises me is that the script for this move was okayed on MULTIPLE occasions by MULTIPLE writers! All in all, I felt like I watched a spoof of a Marvel movie for the ticket price of an actual one.

It was good, a bit cliche and you could always guess what was coming next - no twists or surprises but sort of watchable, I don't think there were any likeable characters, the "main guy" was a wishy-washy wimp and "The Boys" were just washed up wallies. The thing that really did my head in was Billy Butcher's atrocious accent. It was like a New Zealander watches Snatch once and goes "yeh i got this". It was awful, made no sense and while everyone else seemed to be a good job doing their character Billy couldn't decide if he was going to do a comedy routine as a New Zealander pretending to be in Eastenders or going to be an exagerated London lout - it was rubbish. Just made me feel like there was so much effort into making a great show and this pantomime accent and overacting let it down.

Marvel's streak of very good movies, starting with Black Widow in 2021, has come to a screeching halt with this multi-confusing, convoluted Dr. Strange debacle. A proven director, this disappointing Sam Raimi effort is nothing short of a horror movie with its demons, zombies and pretty frightening (at times) effects. So much so that a mom sitting near us took her 8-year oldish son from the theater about half way through, never to return. Maybe it had something to do with watching a 16 year old girl being tortured by the Scarlet Witch. Unlike the innocent Spider-Man, Iron Man and Captain America-type movies, I would not take any one under 10 (at least) to see this.
For some reason, some of the writers in this series like to make the good guys into bad guys, and pit Avenger vs. Avenger. It's done here again with a suddenly delusional, occasionally evil Scarlet Witch, who has somehow developed powers she didn't have when facing Thanos a few movies earlier. She does do the right thing at end, but it's too late to save this scary, creature feature.ghoul fest. Not even the lame special guest appearances could help. Save yourself two hours (felt like three) and skip it.
