Wishy washy.
Watched it in a cool as chuff art deco theatre in Amsterdam; had a massive fat one moments before; did it that cool way where you have a massive chug, hold it in, down a pint, exhale; that ruined my weekend to be honest.
The film as OK; I was confused; I was glued to the seat the entire film; I just sat there. blinking. surviving.
I survived.

A friend with whom I watched this film summed it up better than I ever could. "I've never seen such convincing effects look so unconvincing."
as for the meat of the movie, without Johnny Depp, we would have walked out. he saves this from being a miserable adventure flick and makes it into a tolerable adventure flick.
it's got lots of pretty visuals and swashbuckling action and whatnot, but it wasn't worth my $8.50. matinee... maybe.

This MCU thing has gotten really old. Time to pull the plug or give it a thorough revamp. If it gets a revamp, here are a few tips. Write a good and consistent story, because this thing was all over the place. Use at most 10% of the amount of CGI, because as baffling as it looks it gets tedious after a certain time. Stop dragging in other supers from other comics that have absolutely nothing to do with the movie you are making. I was literally laughing out loud when Charles Xavier showed up out of the blue. This film was confusing, empty and a drag. The top cast sure tried, but could not save the day.

While the acting was impeccable, I found the that a lot of the story line was predictable and too coincidental. Also the ending was cheesy and very anticlimactic. But the concept of the film was overall quite good.

Pointless by-the-numbers movie with stereotypical characters and unconvincing acting all around. Didn't need to be made. The novelty of the CGI wears off quickly and then there's another 2 hours of movie to slog through. I was expecting better from James Cameron. So many years in development and yet almost nothing creative in it. It seems with CGI there's even less room than usual to change things as you go along when it becomes apparent they're not working. But the script, written by Cameron, was quite bad to begin with. He must have just been given free reign due to his past successes, and, given the commercial success of Avatar, will probably be again, unfortunately, with no one daring to tell him anything sucks or that its been done better before and he needs to either come up with something new or find someone who can. The story was so derivative and simplistic I felt like rolling my eyes and had to make myself finish it. I'll certainly be screening his future movies more carefully, no matter how much money they make.

It is not the masterpiece that everyone says but it is exceptional, splendid, original and one of the best of recent years in its genre.

I gave it a shot and honestly I kept nodding off watching it. It could be a syfy original it was so average.

Watching which, i was almost about to sleep. But then by the time i was about to completely give in, the movie was over. A complete drag all the way to the end. I really don't understand what the heck in this movie was so good that it is so highly rated. I mean it is not even anything special. The story is so damn ordinary, but that's not the point. There are movies with ordinary or clichéd story lines but still they are in fact very well executed. This one is a 1 hour 40 minutes of bombardment of clichés and boredom. Hell even the actors' faces look so bored as if they are themselves asking 'when the heck will this movie be over'. And the director has succeeded in making the viewer feel the same too. Total waste of 1 hour and 40 minutes.

Garbage. The film starts out well but then it just throws everything we've established for years out the window in the name ofwhat? Girlpower flick? Comedy? Bathos and ridiculing of the guy character throughout the film who's largely only comedic relief. IN A HORROR MOVIE?! ... What?! Why??! This is dumb.
Film tries to be funny when it shouldn't, we got a 9-10 year old girl fighting the super evil bad guys who've given her parents a run through HELL for years. Portrayals of such evil and monstrous tales that we still remember vividly. But who cares. Lets just portray the stuff we're used to seeing and fearing and remove all sense of dread ... COMPLETELY. Anyone can fight a demon now! Who needs faith, or vatican permission or experience of bibles. 1 little cross and you're all good.
Are you kidding me?
How is this getting 8-9-10 ratings? Are you actually serious? People rating this higher than the actual James Wan Conjuring films, masterpieces and genuinely scary I might add, clearly dont understand horror at all.
This film is the worst of the Annabelle films, because it tries to be funny instead of being creepy and ultimatley makes a mockery of established Conjuring lore.
This is supposed to be a "supposedly" real inspired tales made cinema. This has made these films notorious when imagining, when analysing and even watching because of the background factor telling you " The Warrens claim this was real"
And here we are, spitting on the whole franchise with this stupid bathos spin-off.
Please be the last movie. Its such low energy and insulting to the fantastic works of James Wan.
I watched this with low expectations, knowing certain cast members were here I felt like there was hope. But boy...was I wrong.

Who wrote this stuff? it's god awful. The blood and gore don't bother me,but the stupid predictable,idiotic decisions do. No person would ever take those decisions. I have not read these comic that this "new" old wussifed Logan/wolverine is based on,but based on this movie,I haven't really missed out on anything.
If you take out the mutant element of this movie,it's your average generic slow burner drama ,with a hint of action.
Long dragged out dialogue,with no real purpose. Half spoken sentences.And of course the anti hero, who makes all the wrong decisions that makes a B movie. 4-5 times Logan could have easily killed the main antagonist, and just ended the whole pursuit and killing of innocent.But every time he runs away instead,just so you can have the final show down.And even than he fights like a girl I was actually hoping someone would just put him out of his misery

Season 6 was like watching "Tales From The Crypt" or "Tales From The Darkside" or that awful newer series "American Horror Stories". Other than episodes 1 & 3, this season didn't even remotely feel like i was watching "Black Mirror". What a complete letdown. For some reason, with the exception of episodes 1 & 3, the writers decided to go in the direction of the bad horror and exploitation movies of the 70s and early 80s. Episode 1, although more in line with a traditional Black Mirror episode was a complete mess - especially the last five minutes. If Salma Hayek knew she had signed the contract and was appearing as "TV Joan", I'm not sure why anyone else wouldn't also recall signing a contract to also appear as a "TV Joan". Episode 3 was also more in line with a traditional "Black Mirror" episode but it just couldn't save the entire season.

From the acting, through the story, and all the way to the soundtrack and design. All were terrific. Took me a while to figure out the ending but it was terrific.

I have been struggling to understand why this movie is rated so highly. The cast is great and they do a good job with what they are given. That being said, the whodunit part is poorly made, and I choose to believe that was intentional. Perhaps it's my fault for going in expecting a Jessica Fletcher, Hercule Poirot or Sherlock Holmes type story. I was disappointed by the clues, reveals, as well as the ending. Cannot wait for Sherlock Homes 3 to come out.

Season 1 I'd give 7 maybe 8 but after that the series has a big fall off as Lauren the lead screen writer continues to ruin the story. Yet another popular IP ruined because the writers want to put their own spins on already written stories.
As for the cast, I was all for the castings. At first they embodied their characters quite well but because of the poor decisions of the directors and screen writers, they began to change and now the series as a whole is not salvageable.
Lauren and everyone like minded like her do not deserve to bring popular IPs to television. They back pack off the success of popular IPs and completely ruin the opportunity so they can put their vision of how you would like to see it, we don't care about your vision. Make up your own story next time and leave beloved IPs alone.

This time around, there is more humor and a decent amount of mystery, and slightly less runtime keeps it more engaging.
Daniel Craig, Janelle Monae, and Edward Norton are the main cast of this one and they take it away with their brilliant acting and equal credit goes to the screenplay writing as some of the cut scenes were definitely handled well.
I did like the overall setup and how things happen and unravel (Similar to an IRL escape room setup) and it's definitely worth a watch for all its details.
Rian Johnson needs equal credit as any of the actors as he showcased his brilliance in both narration and direction. It is a definite theater watch!

Usual Netflix production. Give some money for two famous actors, we'll pick rest of the crew and actors on the streets.

Shazam is a great time! It's fun, exciting, and filled with a lot of heart and soul. This film is also very funny. Zachary Levi is fantastic in this film, he perfectly captured the spirit of a joyful child inside the body of an adult superhero. Nothing felt forced, everything felt natural. The character development is really good, in fact my favorite parts of the movie are the first two acts, because that's where the heart and soul of the film lies. The scenes when Zachary Levi interacts with his brother, and the scenes at the foster home are the best parts of this movie. This feels like a fun throwback to the days of fun comic book movies such as Spider-Man (2002). What an amazing course correction for the DCEU. If they just continue with this series and this character, then DC has a lot of potential here to make great films in the future. The film isn't perfect, it's got some mixed acting, a mixed soundtrack, and I have mixed feelings on the villain. But other than that, this is a great course correction, and probably the best DCEU movie.

I was skeptical About this one... But fell in love with it after a first episode! It is mysterious and romantic.... Once you see Matthew you'll fall for him like a teen. It's just a character we've all been missing for years - a protective male crazy about vulnerable female! A Lamb and a Lion. I don't know, it might disappoint me big later but right now I'm enjoying it deeply! Well, don't expect anything groundbreaking but it'll definitely hook you up! My Saturdays are much better since this came out! If you liked Twilight you will love this, but it's so much more mature and serious... Not childish or stupid as Twilight was , but in romance you'll find some connections with it... Enjoy!

After movie i feel like i saw again Terminator Titanic with some beauty Avatar scenes. In todays world, when you cant even destroy putin anateurs this fighting is so over distrubing look in christmas time war and fighting. I also would like to cut 1,5 hour from this film to nake it normal movie. Sound is so powerful that please take your headsets with you, else you just may get theft.
Underwater scenes are good and these were really something what was worth to sit 3,5 hours in movie chair. If you are not Terminator fannthen better avoid. If you dont like to sit so long then 2 hour of movie was best what comes next is not worth of time.

Since the cinematic genius of The Dark Knight, I've been eagerly awaiting the final instalment. In this review, I will be comparing The Dark Knight Rises to its prequel, given that the hype has been created by the brilliance of its predecessor.
From the start and throughout, the film just didn't work. I couldn't get into this film whatsoever. Perhaps it was a combination of a lousy script, including poor dialogue and an outrageous plot that seemed rushed together; completely out of tone to the simplistic but intelligent, and most importantly, realistic plots we've seen in the first two of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy.
**SPOILERS**
Firstly, the plot was ridiculous. Take a step back and view what actually happened in this movie. A man with an atomic bomb trying to blow up the city he spent months 'cleansing'. As opposed to a man hell bent on showing the city that when push comes to shove, they'd eat each other alive. On the face of it, which sounds like a master-class, the one with substance and logic? That's what used to distinguish this Batman from Superhero films.
The dialogue was a mess. I challenge you to find a single quote that had any worthwhile meaning to it when compared with great lines like "Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now" and "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain" and that's leaving out all of the Joker's classic quotes. PS "I'm Gotham's reckoning" isn't a meaningful quote.
They ruined Batman. Batman is supposed to be a hero that never gives up. In this film, we are told he gave up for 8 years because of a girl, and at the end of the film he retired for a girl again. It wasn't just the ideology of Batman that was trashed in the film. He is supposed to be a fighter who thinks on his feet and utilises all his gadgets and weapons, whereas, in this movie he was nothing but a mad brawler. Disgraceful.
Let's compare the opening scenes to show how out of proportion and wild Nolan has made this film. In the Dark Knight, it opens with The Joker raiding a bank, killing off his accomplices and escaping in an organised fashion. Whereas, we see Bane tearing up a plane with another plane, whilst placing a dead body and taking blood; unexplained and just unrealistic.
The actors performed well, but the characters were poorly scripted. Alfred was ruined by and overuse of crocodile tears. Gordon's character was a complete mess, even cringe worthy at times. Catwoman was good, but seemed like she was conveniently thrown in whenever it suited. Miranda was perhaps the weakest link. Overall, I could not relate to them or become emotive to their dire situation.
Nolan's idea to connect the film to Batman Begins was ultimately a failure, and even ruined Bane's character as a result.
Moving on to the numerous flaws in the story:
We learn that Bruce Wayne has serious injuries, including no cartilage in both knees. He would have been in excruciating pain from every movement if this was the case, let alone get back in the suit.
This one was perhaps the most unrealistic. Batman had his back broken, his vertebrate was sticking out. Yet somehow, a man punched his spine back into place. How he managed to become 'un-crippled' and later defeat Bane in a fist fight is insane.
Why didn't he just shoot Bane? His head was exposed at all times. Earlier, we saw Batman use projectiles to knock out his men so why did he not use that on Bane?
From escaping the random prison in a faraway place (nonsense), Bruce Wayne managed to get back to Gotham in time and find Selina Kyle on the streets. How?
You know it's going to be a Blockbuster drag when the main threat in the film is the unoriginal nuclear bomb. And this was no exception. This bomb didn't even make sense too! The Doctor estimated it would be 5 months until the bomb explodes, yet it had a precise timer on it, despite them being able to blow it up at any given point.
How did Batman escape the explosion when he was seen in the aircraft just 5 seconds before it detonated? Surely, the radiation emitted would have critically mutated the citizens of Gotham regardless of the blast radius.
To summarise, The Dark Knight Rises was not only garbage, it ruined everything that made the first two films brilliant. There wasn't a sense of realism or intelligence. I can only imagine the majority of users who have given this film parity with its predecessor, have fallen for the hype and forgotten everything that made The Dark Knight a magnificent spectacle.

Modern Family cracks me up every time. Each character feels so real and you really get to know them more and more each episode. The credibility of the characters lies mostly in their complexity as you get to watch them constantly contradicting themselves. It is definitely a feel-good TV show, as loving and caring families are shown in each episode. Personally, I find most of the puns and jokes hilarious- but I understand that is completely subjective. Every scene with Sofia Vergara is absolutely hilarious.
One of the things that I completely hated about this show were how a supposedly "politically correct" TV series is so reluctant to including so many sexist jokes. I did not expect this from this show, where the characters are supposedly supportive and open-minded. In several instances throughout the show, the word "woman" or "girl" is strongly associated with inferiority. Cam is offended by being considered the mother of the family. Basically if someone wants to offend someone, they just call them a "lady". It crosses the line so far that at one point of the show, Claire uses the word "girl" to insult Gloria, another female character in the show. However, the female characters are portrayed as strong and independent, which makes it completely illogical to include sexist jokes.
Another downside to this show is Cam. I utterly hate his hyperbolic personality, which adds to the melodrama of the show. He could have had the exact same personality except for being overly sensitive and nagging throughout the whole show. You start disliking him so much that you actually want something bad to happen to him.
I continue watching this show as the sexist jokes are tolerable and luckily, Cam is not really the main character. Nobody really is, but it seems like there is relatively low focus on him as compared to the other characters. I recommend this show to anyone who feels like having a good laugh without becoming completely addicted to the series.

Plotless, lets-see-how-many-weapons-transports-characters-we-can-make-look-like-insect s limit to creativity. About 1.5 hours too long. Clever, intriguing dialogue something like:
He: I must bring back Morpheus She: No. You can't go. He: I'm going. She: OK. I'm coming with you. He: No you're not. She: Yes I am. He. OK. Let's go. We need lots of guns.
Has everyone seen Life is Beautiful, The Imposters, Last Night, Night on Earth?

Honestly one the worst films I've ever seen. Fighting is done well, also the special effects are pretty good, but the plot is garbage, basic and brings nothing new to the world of cinematography. The ending is by far horrible, I just couldn't help myself from smashing the facebook closing it.

It falls far behind what is promises in the opening scenes. I find myself getting more and more uninterested as it goes along. Jokes are played too safely, especially the Hitler shtick, it's not enough to make it funny and I find it rather annoying. There's not enough interesting conflict to make it a great movie, I was waiting for it to be much more than a silly comedy but it never happened.
Acting wise it is well acted for the most part, everyone seems to have done a great job on it. The cinematography makes it look like a Wes Anderson movie at times. And for the soundtrack it was great, there's a lot of energy and it fits well with the tone. All in all it's pretty entertaining if you love dumb silly comedy but I'm afraid it's not much more than that.

Seasons 1&2 were great Season 3 was a steaming pile of garbage Season 4 was a pile of garbage that didn't stink as much as s3 from season 3 forward nothing matters plot wise.... if you're not in love with the characters it's a boring show because the mystery element is completely gone Anything can happen in anytime just as a set up for cheap jokes or forced character moments.

I procrastinated on this movie for quite a while, not knowing what to expect. I was scared that it might not be as good as the Harry Potter franchise. I'm so glad a friend asked me to watch this because this movie, although not as dark as the Harry Potter movies, was as enjoyable. The movie was an adventure. The special effects were amazing and I loved the Fantastic Beasts used in the film. The Niffler, the Demiguise, and the Bowtruckle were all adorable and so endearing! Eddie Redmayne was amazing as Newt Scamander and it felt like he was meant to play that role. Newt Scamander is an unconventional film hero. He's not big and muscled like the Marvel superheroes, nor is he an agile, street-smart hero. Instead, he is the sensitive and sweet type of person who your heart just goes out to. His bond with his animals, and also with his new friend Jacob was heart-warming. I loved how believable Redmayne was while playing the character. The supporting cast was great too and Dan Fogler was great as Jacob Kowalski, the clueless No-Maj who is forced into an epic adventure. The entire cast of characters brought something to the table and made the movie what it was: An absolute delight to watch!

Amazing movie but I was disappointed because of the specific changes in the dialogues and Scenes as well. But the acting , story line and direction were up to the mark. A must watch.

Only saved from all-time worst status by a good soundtrack and Tom Hanks' best effort to turn a truly awful character into someone vaguely palatable.
This movie is an insult to the audience, its own subject matter and to anyone operating on something higher than basic brain stem function.
Oh, look at the funny retard - he's a moron but he has a simple wisdom that can redeem us all. Fortune cookies are sophisticated when compared to the message of this film. Ugh.
It is a sad commentary on the Academy's milquetoast voting standards that Gump is not the worst film to ever win a Best Picture award.

Right from the start. That's the news. Their surrounded. I've seen a very similar scene somewhere before. It must have been a Nazi thing.
Anyway, nicely filmed. Acting and flow to the film I did notice some audio I originally thought was from a overheating turbine on a ship. Then the same sound reappeared during a flight scene, so idk I don't know my history all to well, but I'm sure the Nazis were also causing big chaos with the lines on land.
This is a shore to sea battle. I expected more planes and boats I guess. After seeing a film like Pearl Harbor. It's the best filmed I've seen lately. Seems there's always a sto-away. I bumped up to a 7 from 6. Because supposedly there is another movie or two? I thought when watching that it was short and felt like a series.

Wednesday is a feel-good, breath-of-fresh-air, wonderful little delight which is entirely and absolutely, fantastically even, full of woe.
Jenna Ortega's Wednesday Addams is a sullen-faced, anti-social, and witchily woeful treasure to whom they should simply hand over all the awards now, and she has been admirably supported by rest of the cast, including Hunter Doohan (Tyler), Emma Myers (Enid), Jamie McShane (Sheriff Galpin), Joy Sunday (Bianca), and the forever lovely Catherine Zeta-Jones (Morticia Addams).
The story, writing, direction, and cinematography are all excellent, and remarkably consistent across the eight-episode first season. Simply put, the wait for the second season to release will be long indeed!

Has potential to become the best shonen in the world but some characters are annoying. We need less Deku and Bakugo and more Mirio and Suneater. Mineta is also annoying but uhm, well there is no but he is annoying. The best parts of the show are the ones where the main character is missing. He is a worse protagonist than Kirito or Meliodas.

If you love the witcher novel or tha game I advise you NOT watching this series..The TV series has nothing to do with the original novel, not even the game.. Just agendas they want to impose on the viewer without any interest in the plot and story.. It is unfortunate that a great novel like this is being turned into a series by Netflix.. I bet if HBO had done it This series, we will watch an unforgettable work that remains stuck in the mind, no less great than GAME OF THRONES ..
In the end there is no way that i will waste my time watching this series again.. it's a joke.
I hope my words make you safe your time and not watching it.

It's a poor outdated twilight clone, not sure why it got a second season.

Really good start! Enjoyable All the ambience of game of throne is here.
The CGI is kind of Inconsistent for the ambition of the show, but its ok the VFX artist job is not easy nowadays.... The story is interesting and we get attached really fast to the characters its cool and intuitive.
And the cast is so good every actor! The costumes and the environment are well done.
It re-gave me some hope in HBO after the disaster of the last season of GOT with a draft as a script like a pilot season, after a story this long having an ending this short.....
But anyway the House of the dragon is THE show évent every week like old good Time the hype is Increasing !!

Tokoyo Revengers is one of the anime that I enjoyed and was greatly influenced by. It is a very interesting anime and full of interesting events and drama and makes you anticipate the events with great enthusiasm, This person has a lot of prominent personalities in personal relationships in a good way. With the passage of events, the events began to disappear from the main character "Takemichi" more focus on her more, but we did not see that at the end of the anime almost.
Using the flashback was great, but I felt in some episodes it was on time and even late.
So as a summary of the review, Tokyo Revengers anime is worth your time because it is simply so much fun, great production and very good music, events that make you feel excited, thrilled and shocked in every episode, but because of the writing and some gaps at the end of the season events I think it deserves 8.5/10.

There's no doubt about it, 24 is the best programme that in my humble opinion has ever been made. Just when you think that 24 has done all it can do, it grabs you and throws you back in. Like a very fine vintage wine 24 gets even better with age, every season is brilliant, you just cant stop your self from becoming hooked. Long live Jack Bauer and please sign Keifer Sutherland up for at least another 5 seasons, the man is quite literally a legend. I know that he is signed up for season 6 and a movie, but please let this not be the end of a series that has gripped the entire world. This show has more excitement, twists and turns than a high speed roller coaster. This show is what makes me feel better about paying my TV licence.

Good movie, but I can't help but feel that it's a bit of a let-down, considering the theme. But that's inevitable,I guess. Fantastic cinematography! One can watch the movie just for the quality of the camera work. But the story is far too contrived and overly dramatic and as usual for Bollywood directors aspiring to make a movie with a broader canvas, it stretches the limits of believability.The denouement is forgettable.
Still, well worth watching, even if only for Shah Rukh Khan's performance.And Kajol.The soundtrack blends in very well with the movie and the scenes from Rizzu's childhood are endearing and stand-out in one's mind long after the movie is over.

Bird Box seemed like it was going to be 'the biggest thing in the history of anything ever' the way people were fussing about it's viewership records back when it debuted in 2018. Now people have meme'd it via the 'Bird Box Challenge', seen it and analysed it to death because it's just like any other typical horror movie. The hype has dialled down since then and I can safely say: yeah, it's okay.
It's not the best movie ever made and it feels like it borrows too many things from 'A Quiet Place' (they both came out the same year) but it's still watchable. It's a Netflix movie, and for me those kinds of movies tend to be a hard HIT or MISS! This ones stuck between the two: it's got great actors and nicely done cinematography capturing the unease of a post-apolcayptic dystopia, but its over-familiarity to other horror films undermines some of the film's strongpoints. I still reckon Netflix has a long way to go with film production standards, but their TV shows tend to be consistent hits across the board.
Want to see the movie that inspired the 'Bird Box Challenge' craze? Well here are my two-cents on the matter.

Read the books this series is based on after I watched the show. The series is not a disappointment for the book fans and it is understandable and enjoyable to those who are just wanting to watch the series. Great writing! The actors do a superb job! The story is engrossing. So much detail you want to watch the series again as soon as you finish it. The fantasy aspect of the story are not cartoonish but very well done. The chemistry between the leads sizzle and you are captivated by their story.

This movie was a huge disappointment. The trailer had me ready for a comedy that would have me rolling and I got, instead, a lame attempt at a comedy that could have been written by any high school student. Even with a crew of humored college students behind me in the theater keeping it fresh, I couldn't bring myself to enjoy this film.
All attempts at comedy are simply toilet humor. Any time the screenwriters felt like they needed a laugh, they just threw in the F-word a couple of dozen times and a sexual reference... not funny. Just lame.
The widespread support of this movie makes me wonder if I'll ever see an actual funny movie again...

*Not a serious UPSC Story (Only person serious is Sandeep)* The focus is too much deviated into relationship, love and marriage while the show is about UPSC aspirants, the irony is that a student who even ditches mobile phones and luxury to focus on study is in a lot of pain in contrast to the Protagonist who is busy with his girlfriend, make out and breakup.
The webseries how ever is a good timepass with everything apart from the loopholes of the story, shining bright. Be it casting, directing and shots all are brilliant and TVF is at its prime best.
*Very Similar to Kota Factory* You can notice too much similarities between Kota Factory and Aspirants although IIT coaching and UPSC are poles apart. The show could have been named Old Rajinder Nagar Factory. It also borrows the same setting where you have one committed fellow, one who gets into relationship and one fellow who is little too shy.
*Sandeep Bhaiyya is the biggest positive* The failure of this show is it should have focused on the Life of Sandeep Bhaiyya because he seems to be the only UPSC relatable and positive content and if he doesnt clear the exams, and the Lover Boy Abhilash does it sends a very odd message which is not an inch relatable.
*Misguided Abhilash* Abhilash doesn't give the vibes of a serious student. We are excited to know how he molded himself to be a IAS without possessing any merit to be so, what about his Mains and most importantly how did he survive the interview.
Although Abhilash rants that his day begins with Hindu and ends with Yojana, thats is a mere dialogue.
*Alcohol cigarette everywhere* Wont be surprised if Abhilash says Old Monk is the secret to my success at the end. The way actual Aspirants drink Tea, the on screen Aspirants are drinking Alcohol. The Character even wants to drink till he looses sense in the Episode 4, neither this is IAS behavior not does it send a great message to the society.
*Unacademy* Its the elephant in the room. The project seems to be made for Unacademy, as if they urged TVF to make one more Kota Factory to attract UPSC students.

I dont know what secret agenda does people have against this show that there are so many underwhelming reviews.but i found this show a great addition to marvel universe. All marvel fans must watch this series.

Watching it is a complete wastage of time.
It don't have a proper story line.
Though the starting is fascinating but as we move towards the end it's meaningless.
The last episode is also somewhat disgusting and not as per desired...

I'm a (long) lifelong sci-fi film lover and I'm fairly literate on physics, astronomy, etc. but definitely NOT a scientist nor do I have a related background. That said, I found this film way over it's head for any normal audience. Perhaps utilizing some aspects of gravity unknowns, or black holes, or wormholes, or multiple dimensions, or time travel, or climate messages would have piqued my interest but using ALL of them in one film only confused an already confused film. "Contact" fans know well the term 'Occam's Razor' and I find it appropriate for this film. Just keep it simple! You can still make an intelligent film, complete with a great script and special effects..without thinking it has to have everything including the kitchen sink. Ironically, that term in Contact was first voiced by Matthew McConaughey. I was severely disappointed in the film, not one I will add to my library. Great special effects, that's about it.

I went to see this movie with very high expectations...I was expecting something in the line of La La Land, or even better..what a drama!
First of all, the music was totally mainstream and every single song sounds the same..same beat, same rhythm, same cheesy-ness..the movie lacks a storyline and the characters are outright flat! Not to mention all the cliches..this movie is packed with them.. Where is the unique feel that this movie was supposed to have? With La La Land for example, you have the jazzy sounds and the brilliant orchestra backing up the great camera work..here, you have some Justin Bieber type, studio mixed beat to go with every scene that's packed with slimey, cliche songs that never really seem to touch you..and honestly, the songs and the sounds just don't go at all with the 19th century setting of the movie. Maybe they did it that to make it unique or whatever..but in my opinion, that totally failed. You can't just make something hip and trendy by adding some beats to it and hoping it will all work out in the end.
Overall, I really don't understand all the excited reviews. I never reviewed a movie on this website yet, but this one made me do it. I had to!

Huge Disappointment - No AI bad side
I was very eager to see the actual consequences of GPT30 down the line now that we have actually working AI going around.
And Netflix, being Netflix, produced another fodder-cannon-like, daily-meal-like season from Netflix. Netflix literally takes good brands and makes out mundane, watered-down, cheap graphics versions of the premium concepts.
First episode - Hardly any innovation, familar concept of 'my life is TV'
Second episode - Disgress to Black Mirror, just a crime-thriller. We have thousands of those.
Third episode - Good concept, but too long and slow.
Forth episode - Anothere werewolf... please....
Sixth episode - demon? Really, now we are getting in voodoo like stuff? Black Mirror?

The first episode of the Falcon + Winter Soldier was pretty slow. It seemed like a snap back to the avengers-style marvel generic stuff, and I think we weren't massive fans of this because WandaVision varied so much from a typical Marvel MCU film. Personally, I liked it, that's why I've given it 10, because no matter what I WILL probably rate this 9 or 10 by the end of the series. I would give ep.1 a 7, but that would've gone for WandaVision ep.1 as well so I don't know what to say. All I'm saying is if you want a good show for a Friday night, this is the one. It's the action packed marvel we all love! The fighting at the start was great, and I look forward to get more into the individuality of the two now Cap is out of the series, may he rest in peace. Give it a watch!

Vasan Bala is unarguably the most underrated director in Indian cinema. This is way beyond the standards of Bollywood. Movie will keep you hooked all the time with Constance twist and turns. It is blessed with great performances from whole cast. This movie needs more encouragement and can show the direction to slowly dying Bollywood. It combines the fine moviemaking of west with the quirkiness of Bollywood. A thorough entertainer. It is a visual treat to see different plot points carefully woven together. The screenplay and pacing of movie has hit the bull's eye. Same was the case with Mard ko dard nahin hota. When I saw that movie, first reaction was to Google Vasan Bala and today he has shown what potential he has. Vasan Bala! Take a bow.

Rizwan Khan walking with Mandira Khan amidst crowd while credits rolled and i asked myself. Will i be able to review this experience i just witnessed? Words can do justice? Let me try.
Story: My Name is Khan, a journey of Rizwan Khan -Sir Shah Rukh Khan- to win his love Mandira Khan -Kajol Devgan- back in an unconventional but an inspiring way. It's story of a human being who on his way inspired a nation which apparently looks unrealistic but underneath it's real on term 'Hope'. A Phrase we usually say 'Chah Ko Rah' proves it. He touch you with humanity, with love and with his rawness. It's a journey of Mandira Khan who live an old song 'Hum Honge Kamyab', it's a journey of her fights and her iron conviction. In the end it's a journey of everyman who believe in goodness. Its a journey of a lesson Rizwan carried and spread unknowingly.
Screenplay: Shibhani Bhatija is one who deserve accolades for her Brilliance in writing and sheer conviction in it. She doesn't sacrifice her write-up anywhere. If first half went in a blink of an eye, second half doesn't even give you that liberty. Shibhani, write more and more.
Direction: I always loved Karan Johar's direction, whether if was Kuch Kuch Hota Hai or Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. He is known for his Candy-floss Cinema, but he proved everyone today he is not limited. He is in fact sharing Top Spot in Bollywood among the geniuses. The angles, the layers, perfect. Karan Aced this one.
Cinematography: Ravi K Chandran excels here with his top-notch work with camera. He surely is one of best Bollywood has today.
Music: Shankar Ehsan Loy each score is a gem in it's genre and it's perfect use in movie without disturbing the flow makes it even more enjoyable. Noor-e-Khuda leads and heals listener in a magical way. Background score is enduring as well as intriguing.
Dialogues & Lyrics: Niranjan Iyengar with his lyrics and Dialogues by him and Shibhani Bhatija are powerful.
Performances: I always hold an opinion about Sir Shah Rukh Khan that he is best Bollywood ever produced but from this he openly entered a new Era of Global Contender. Sum-Up his career and put it one. That's Rizwan for you. He aced it. I read, i saw a lot about 'Asperger Syndrome' and i can say he nailed it. He proved his talent, this one surely should shut mouths of critics. And if they still argue, they deserve to live on Mars. Kajol, after a big gap came and won it all over again. She excels in her portrayal of Mandira Khan, a mother and a fighter. She gives her best performance till date. Evergreen chemistry between Shah Rukh and Kajol is visible on a different scale altogether. Supporting Cast as well is Good to Magnificent, Jimmy Shergill as Rizwan brother was good, Soneya Jehan was superb and Zareena Wahab was excellent in her brief role. Special Appearance by Vinay Pathak and Tarun Mansukhani were good too.
Best Scenes: I still can't pick one here are few of gems.
1-Church Scene. 2-Mosque Scene 3-Sam's death 4-Rizwan and Mandira Separation 5-Motel Leaving Scene.
On the whole, My Name is Khan is an exceptional experience. In Rizwan and Mandira's Journey you will laugh, you will cry and in the end it will shake you within demanding some questions. Are we good enough? If audience can take 25% of movie home with them, world will be a better place. This venture of Karan Johar has Top Notch Story, Hard Hitting Dialogues, Stellar Perofmrances and one of best Directions in near or far times. Don't Miss It.
5/5 Exceptional 'My Name is Mansoor and I Hope I'll be a Better Human'

I'm not much of a fan of Disney movies, pirates and Johnny Depp so I was really reluctant to see this Disney flick. I was pleasantly surprised by how the movie started. I was actually riveted, by the funny action and the amazing performance of Depp. Like I said, I'm not a Depp fan and I usually can't stand him in anything but as Jack Sparrow, Depp is totally amazing. Depp created a real character here, no matter how campy he is. Unfortunately, once the pirates invade the port and the story concentrated on them, the film became really tedious and I didn't care about anything. The film should have concentrated more on Sparrow and the two other characters. The pirates, or ghosts, are devices and it's almost impossible to care for them. The story became sillier and sillier and Depp, who's the ONLY good thing in this movie, went missing for long periods of time. Bloom and the actress were pretty much flat. And this film is very LONG!!! Oh well...

Episode 1-season 1- not bad. From there its all down hill. Just same old redundant scenarios. Monsters trying to kill- bad people trying to kill- wilderness survivalist-repeat-repeat. Pretty good series for kids- no wait- too much violence and needless killing for them- maybe good for immature 18 to 22 year olds who like unrealistic science fiction that could never possibly happen in a real world. Maybe the same group of adults who enjoy super hero movies would like this. Pretty predictable writing. You can easily predict when the action is coming and who is going to die next. Same old same old. Nothing new here. No way this deserves to be rated so high.

I can say I loved watching the old cars, and the nostalgic views of Hollywood, but kept looking for a story to pop up, which from where i was sitting never did. I have enjoyed Quentin Tarantino movies in the past with such fare as the masterpiece "Kill Bill" and other fare like "Deathproof", but they had some great story lines. Here the actors and actresses were good with what they were given, which in my opinion wasn't even a bone (even the dog had canned food in the movie and not a bone) lol. Unfortunately I bought the movie, don't make the same mistake, if you want to experience it then rent it. Just my opinion for what it's worth!

Before I get into it winning Best Picture, I'll actually review the movie. One word... boring. You could argue the opening was exciting, but it wasn't at all and the characters that were taken hostage at the U.S. embassy were beyond bland. The only positive thing I have to say for this movie is the acting of Alan Arkin and John Goodman, and the rest is negative. Ben Affleck was one of the most boring leading actors I've seen in a movie, and I felt the screenplay would've been adapted into a much better movie with a better director and cast. This movie is also, purely lazy considering we ONLY get to see the "safer" hostages while we hear nothing of the other hundred or so that were being tortured. If the Academy would've went with another Best Picture with this genre, Zero Dark Thirty could've won, I would've been happy with any other nominee winning Best Picture winning, and I was in for a devastating blow when this crap won. The fact people could really like this movie is beyond me. My personal pick was between Silver Linings Playbook and Life of Pi for Best Picture... Oh well, maybe next year will be better.

I think Stranger things it's such a different type of show, i love the 80s vibe mixed with such modern technology and psychokinesis. The best part is definitely the acting of the cast and the awesome friendship those kids have, so freaking fun to watch. Very original, even though it might have slightly too hyped about when it came out though, not saying it doesnt deserve all that attention though! must watch

But for me this show stayed a bit unfinished. Almost whole episode about animal killing and quite a few about humans who survived and kids who did born. It looked like firemen, coal diggers and other personnel were brought together rather nearby when they actually were from all over vast Soviet Union. Or why those red and blue boards in court were in Russian while they spoke English. Somehow that part did bothered me! And that comrade was totally over used. But I have to say this time Americans and UK have made quite a show. Really authentic, even the actors looked like Russians-Ukranians. I was only amazed where they got all that stuff. I've heard stories about it, because here they also took men for cleaning up and building without saying where and why they are going, but it was just appalling to watch what stupidity and arrogance can do.

This has become the ultimate indie chick and frustrated middle aged housewife film. The kind of crowd who only read Faulkner because Oprah instructed them to. The film is essentially pseudo-intellectual hackery. I am utterly perplexed by the rave reviews this film received by a number of respectable critics. This is by-the-numbers "arthouse" drivel. Europe belts out about a 1000 of these every year. You are much better off watching Hiroshima mon Amour or something actually good. There is very little one can actually discuss about the film. It essentially involves two disillusioned people who find some solace through a short-lived platonic affair.It is hardly philosophical and it barely touches on any real emotional depth. The dialogue is bland and unilluminating and the camera work is pretentious. Avoid like the plague...

Going into the movie I had pretty low expectations and not because of the trailer or the cast. But because this movie just going off plot alone, seemed like a fun horror movie to watch with no real stakes involved. The movie was well worth the watch, especially for a horror fan. It never made me angry in the way some horror movies are just garbage. I spent the majority of the time on edge and getting gut punched with legit uncomfortable and scary scenes. Nothing was ever truly that scary and I'm glad the movie wasn't longer. They consistently kept you waiting to see what happened next and I was on edge after the movie really got into the plot. Very unique and def reminded me of telling ghost stories as a kid.

Take away all the high tech wizardry and special effects and what you have here is average Joe Spider-man - another young guy with, apparently, a lot of life's advantages who just can't make a commitment to a gal he loves and who craves him body and soul. I hope Tobey McGuire isn't like this in real life.
Yep, that's Peter Parker (d/b/a Spider-Man) in a nutshell. Mary Jane Watson, aspiring thespian, played by Kirsten Dunst, most fetching and accomplished actress, loves Peter and he threatens to commit but predictably pulls back, breaking her heart. Any surprise that she's gets engaged to an Air Force astronaut as a consolation prize?
Lots of action here but also a bit too long. Fifteen minutes could have been shaved off easily. And should have been. Also a wee bit too loud. Theater sonics were great but it got deadening at times with the uneding rolls of major chords.
But...with all the computer-created effects and the ability to create any part of the world or a new one, can anyone explain how an inauthentic New York transit elevated train marked with Bay Ridge (in Brooklyn) as its destination winds up on a terrorizing sojourn on Chicago's Dan Ryan line? Very upsetting.
Clearly a box office winner for all the principals involved.
Nuff said.
8/10.

Two words to sum this movie up...Long and boring. I hung on until the bitter end hoping it would gather momentum and direction but this film failed to deliver. It's a tragedy that such iconic actors collectively failed to impress due to a horrendously poor script. The film is around 90% dialogue / dribble and around 10% action. Do yourself a favour and invest your 3 hours doing something else.

The falcon and the winter soldier was one of my favourite Marvel shows. The show's focus is about Sam taking on the mantle of Captain America which he doesn't think he deserves. Bucky wants to know why he would pass on the title of Captain America. Well at the same time they must track down a New terrorist threat called the flag smashers. The government wanting someone to take the mantle of Captain America gets a new man for the job. The show follows a good written story but it is very political really going at it with the cops taking it to far.
Anthony Mackie does a good job playing a Sam who doesn't think he deserves the mantle. Sebastian Stan does and excellent job playing his character as he tries to make up for the things he has done in the past and being mad that Sam won't take the mantle. Erin Kellyman plays the leader of the terrorist group the only problem is that she doesn't get enough time to explain her motives very well. And is underused a lot in this show. Wyatt Russell plays John Walker the Captain America the government wants. He does an good job playing the guy who it's trying to live up to the title of Captain America and then plays the man who wants revenge at all cost well also playing a man who thinks he has done nothing wrong and blame all of his problems on everyone else. Emily VanCamp comes back as Sharon Carter but this time she is more serious and smart. And Daniel Brühl comes back as Baron Zemo and you finally get to see how much of a smart villain this man is how he will do anything to complete his goals.
Overall I think this was one of the best Marvel shows so far and that anyone should watch this.

I was a great fan of this show early on. Comberbatch was great. Then he started to rely so much on that fast talking hyper manic style of spewing facts at people. He has overplayed the character, in my opinion. That and the fact that the could only be bothered to make 4 seasons of the show in 8 years, frankly I just lost interest. I find Freeman's Watson the more interesting character.

I think you are all DREAMING. I tried to watch this film FIVE, YES FIVE times and just didn't get it. Too convoluted, no character development, bizarre jumping from one scene to the next without a common thread or context. I have an exceptionally high IQ, and frankly, felt I was watching "special effects gone wild". Please, bring back the art of true film making with great scripts, outstanding acting, real characters and a plausible storyline.
I felt this film was pointless, without direction and a total waste of talent! Nolan did an excellent job with The Dark Knight; this film is a disaster.

I was definitely looking forward to the release of "Wednesday", though I didn't know that it was going to be a series. I had initially expected Tim Burton to deliver a feature length movie, not a series. Not that I am complaining or anything, because this was definitely entertaining.
If you are expecting this to be an "Addams Family" thing, you're in for a surprise. Sure, some of the family members were in the show, but as the title of the show indicates, then this is all about Wednesday Addams, not the family Addams.
The storyline in "Wednesday" was good, it was well-written, but I felt that the end was a bit rushed, as if the director suddently realized that they were out of time and had to close things up before the lights were turned off. But the eight episodes do make for good entertainment, and the writers did a good job at keeping the audience in the dark with this being a who-did-it-mystery.
I was, for the majority of the talents on the cast list, unfamiliar with the cast ensemble in "Wednesday", and that was good, because that is something I enjoy when I watch something. There were some familiar faces, such as Christina Ricci, Gwendoline Christie, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán and Fred Armisen. However, leading actress Jenna Ortega (playing Wednesday) was just just simply phenomenal in the role as Wednesday with her mannerisms, demeanor, appearance, and way of acting. It was definitely a joy to watch her bring this particular version of Wednesday Addams to life on the screen, and she totally stole the show and made it her own. I will say that actress Jenna Ortega makes it well-worth watching the eight episodes.
Visually then director Tim Burton does show his trademark dark, gothic, semi-twisted fingerprint, though it is much toned down in comparison to his other work. But it looks good and definitely added a lot of flavor and atmosphere to the series.
I was genuinely entertained by the eight episodes, though the ending was a bit too forced and rushed for my liking. But, all in all, a series well-worth watching.
My rating of "Wednesday" lands on a seven out of ten stars.

Literally putting on a blindfold isn't the best way to live life to the fullest.
This movie glorifies escapism over actually embracing the world.
There's so much CGI over reality.
Making friends online simply is not as fulfilling as making friends in the real world. Living life online isn't that way either.
Years from now we'll look back at VR as quaint, a strange "futurism" that never came true. There's nothing wrong with a little escapism, but don't live that way.

I enjoyed the 1st film. I found this, so disappointing. I took my daughters who wanted to leave after 1 hour.
Script and dialogue terrible and patronising. Convoluted clichéd story. Unwatchable apart from the amazing 3d visual effects but the excitement wore off very quickly.
I didn't care about any of the characters or what was going to happen at the end! It was so predictable good vs evil rubbish that Hollywood has pushed onto us for so many years, Ive had enough of it.
We need more originality and character development.
One of the worst films I've seen. I can't believe they could not come up with something more interesting after 13 years!!

Just finnished it , i havent read the graphic novels decided that i wanted to watch this first. And its not half bad. In a nut shell its about A Time travelling, disfunctional super hero family. I think i've resigned to the fact that once a studio get involved your never going to get a blow for blow exact copy of the graphic novel or book on the screen. Studios are out to make money for their shareholders so they look at trends and demographics and tinker with aspects of the story to suit their needs first and foremost. So i get why theres alot of gripes that it isn't giving the story justice. I say make your piece with that , its never going to happen. Despite this , i really enjoyed it , there are some colouful characters played by great actors its a fast paced set of story lines there are plenty of laughs , violence and dramatic stuff all blended together. Definetly give this a shot for some of the clangers netflix seemed to have attracted recently i would say this isnt one of them.

Swades is simply one of those rare gems that once you see them you know they're special, and realise there is so much depth to their beauty.
Ashutosh Gowariker clearly demonstrates once again that he is a director in control of his art, and message that he wishes to portray in this art form. His genius here was to chose an A-list actor who would not only do justice to the central character, but also give the kind of exposure an important film like this commands. In my opinion Shah Rukh Khan delivers a career best performance in his role as 'Mohan'. You see SRK stripped of his usual Bollywood fare, and deliver a honest but charismatic performance that is truly trying to make a change in this world. Credit for this performance must not be taken away from the director, who helped extract those extra little nuances and depth from his lead actors.
The messages in this movie do not instantly throw themselves at you, rather they are conveyed like subliminal images and in the form of body language. The cinematography is original and flows gracefully throughout, and it makes an impact in epic terms when you least expect it. Style is never sacrificed over substance, but nevertheless the film has so much style it goes unnoticed on a first viewing. Characters are given the opportunity to breath a personality which is rare in modern Indian cinema. Both the script and screenplay simply mesmerises.
You take so much away with you in this movie that it's almost thought provoking. There's a yearning to know what happens to these characters after, and a hope that they do live on in happiness.
One of the best Indian movies of the decade.

I sat down with this movie after knowing that most people loved and seemed to venerate it. But I have a lot of perspective. I was reading Batman comics back in 1957, and I have seen all of the greatest movies ever made. This just isn't one of them. I did not care about anyone. The action was remorseless and unnecessary, one could even say gratuitous. I even turned it off by the 2-hour mark because it got so maudlin and disjointed. I did read something about people voting this into fifth position of the greatest 250 movies ever made, and clearly this shows the weight of current voters who have little experience with good movies. Why, they should be asked, does Citizen Kane, a 1941 movie always rank as the best movie ever? Because it had story, wonderful acting, human nature, and on and on, all things missing from Dark Knight.
Movies today are thrown together with lots of action, preposterous stories, and computer effects. Characters survive falls and bangs that would put anyone, including a linebacker for the NFL, in hospital for a week or more. As with another reviewer, I am now finding it hard to remember to much about this movie, but I can remember every scene in a great movie, like The Maltese Falcon, etc.

RECIPE FOR DISASTER !!! With every bite of food I felt like they was gonna vomit , the food looked liked garbage that rolled up from the ocean onto the beach, they should of gotten more into the diners background .,. And a few more attempts to escape would have been nice , I really thought I was watching a JR high school play .,. I was not shocked at all mostly disappointed in the lack of consistency in the dialogue and the acting was subpar in that I seamed like a everyday occurrence to go to eat in that environment with the menu that was given to be some how exciting and unique, it was just a attempt into a bad recipe for disaster !!!

......but I just found out that I'm not.
This entire movie could have been told in 85 min, including all the action scenes at the end. For some reason it was stretched out into almost 3 hours of tedious boredom.
Now I realize that a movie has certain liberties with reality, even more so, a comic book movie, but this one takes the cake. An unrisen one at that. I won't say what as to not spoil the spoilers. Watch only if you have a lot of free time. Better yet, stretch it out over the course of a few weeks. Might not insult your intelligence as much as watching it straight through.
Please NO MORE Batman movies. Thank you.
As a footnote, after almost three hours of listening to the voices of both Batman and Bane I have had to seek therapy. Who do I sue?
I would have only gave it a one, but decided on two to show that I can be generous and forgiving to all the flaws in this film.

This is one of my favorite films of SRK. A story that can resonate with the struggle of identity & identifying with one's motherland, Ashutosh Gowariker delivers an amazing film. Scenes that pull at one's heartstrings, this is a film that leaves the viewers with something memorable & poignant. I marked this review as 'no spoilers' so I don't want to give away too much. But I would like to point out how beautifully water is used as a motif throughout the film. Was originally going to take a star off due to the length of the film, originally felt that it dragged in parts. But I decided to award the 10 stars because it all tied in well.

It's easier to bear with the start of the movie, because that's where you get the origin of the Black Panther, the cultural values and the James Bond style accessories, but it continues at a snails pace with very little humour.
I expected this film to have at least been 'watchable' but this is my second movie to have been walked out on in the cinema.
Reminders of many other films, perhaps I missed the best bits? I made over an hour!

Part 2,4,5 - amazing Part 1 - ripping off like a million things but pretty cute Part 3 - too much travel & way tooo longgg. However some amazing characters can make up for this and the good parts in part 3 are AMAZING but it's just too long for me
Overall one of my favourite animes ever.

This show is ok, nothing amazing, maybe people on here who gave it high ratings love Tom Hiddleston? Hes just some actor to me. I cant think of anything else hes been in....just watched a couple episodes more, it has a 8.9 rating now? I'm not even liking it much.the special fx are quite nice? I believe the review rating for this is fake, I loved the last 2 avengers films too. This show isnt in the same league at all.

Well the summary speaks for itself. Lets see,the bads:
Shoehorned characters,check.
A sad excuse of acknowledging destruction,check.
Absolutely shitting on the source material while glorifying its name,check.
A useless villain who's now a meme,check.
Another useless villain who didn't even live after the first 10 minutes,check.
Buckey Barnes the new Martha,check.
Plot holes,check and boy do we have plot holes.
I could go on and on but that'll give you an idea about how much of a disappointment it was.A civil war with like 12 people isn't a civil war.And if Marvel actually cared for making a civil war adaptation,they should've acquired all the character rights instead of jumping the gun just because DC came up with the original idea of pitting superheroes against each other on their second movie while Marvel has been doing the same boring linear story lines for the past 12 films.That being said,civil war comic book lover might want to look the other way because this piece of crap was made for the pure reason of introducing black panther and spider-man.Instead of them getting their own movie first,Marvel again did it the DC way by introducing characters before their solo film (like wonder women on batman v superman).I understand doing it the DC way but butchering a great comic book for that sole purpose isn't just how you do it. Now onto the goods:
Spidey and panther,great characters done justice by their actors.Also spidey looks like a poorly done cgi
The Action,the stunt team from john wick never disappoints especially with their practicality.
That's about it.Can't say I enjoyed it as much I'd hope to but whatever,its just another cash grab from Disney.If you're a mindless Marvel sheep I KNOW you're drooling over this right now but for the rest of the people who saw it knows that it wasn't the "masterpiece" the critics have been painting it out to be.That being said,can't wait for the next Marvel crap fest.
Adios Muchachos.

'Uncut Gems' seems to have been generally well received by audiences and critics alike but I'm struggling to understand its appeal. This is a frantic and breathless two and a quarter hours that left me feeling more confused and frustrated than entertained.
The plot in 'Uncut Gems' is convoluted and it can be very difficult to follow exactly what is happening because it moves at such a relentless pace. Unless you are fully invested in the plot, which I wasn't, it's hard to care about what's happening anyway. The annoying soundtrack doesn't help and the constant shouting and just noise in general really started to grate on me.
The only part of this film I enjoyed was Adam Sandler's performance. I know I'm in a minority here, but I like Sandler as an actor and it was nice to see him in a role that allowed him to really shine, even if I hated the film. He's a good actor and if there's anything I enjoyed about 'Uncut Gems' it was his fine performance.

None of the characters have depht, the weirdo is the weirdo, the popular one is the popular one, the nerd is the nerd nothing interesting about characters. And what makes this show harmful that it approves the "she killed herself because her crush didn't liked her" etc. claims. This show has zero depht and nothing realistic.

1.How is it possible that a star (millionaire $$$) run after someone who is worth nothing?. The analogy is that you bet $1billion to win just $1?. 2. The fan's accent is bad (keeps mumbling and gargling up words) 3. fan dies? which is really bad for SRK's stardom. 4. Sid kapoor is bad for SRK's stardom as we can tell which actor is he referring to 5. from where does a FAN who sells an internet get so much money to visit expensive Europe cities? 6. A star explaining a FAN's mom and dad on what is right and wrong about their son is laughable. 7. FAN reveals that SRK has become old and his stardom is degrading. 8. flawed face of FAN. 9. Our brains don't agree that the FAN is not SRK. 10. Aryan/Gauvrav doesn't gel well if the movie is named FAN because people will always picture SRK and FAN - this is the biggest flop.

Went into this with absolutely no expectations at all as have found superhero market very hit or miss. But what could have been a fantastically dark exploration into a villain, was a hugely flat and boring plotline and action. Took over an hour for Hardy's chatacter to get infected with the venom alien "parasite" by which point both of us had lost interest. So bad we never bothered watching to end! No decent plot line, character investment or decent special effects. Save yourself the hassle and watch something else.

Dunkirk gives a three part perspective of the same battle, the soldiers, civilian crew, and the pilots. I really liked the idea of intertwining the land, sea, and air in order to give the audience a full circle perspective of the battle at Dunkirk. All three timelines eventually end up coming together to create one bigger plot, which is really cool and feels very realistic. With this, however, I did not always follow what was happening in the plot. I think that this is due to the lack of actual dialogue. This does make sense though, and overall makes the movie more dramatic. I also really liked all of the visual effects, they added a lot to the film and were done well. However, I was not a fan of the music, it was strangely ominous and just was not for me. Overall, I liked the movie but it is not a movie that I would necessarily rewatch.

For me this is the best movie of the Iron Man trilogy. War Machine is here and some villain is going to attack with the help of Hammer Industries. Much more interesting than the previous storyline of Iron Man 1. The whole Stark Expo is an interesting concept that got hyped up with small videos before to gain more popularity. That totally worked for me because I totally got excited to see the Stark Expo and it's attacks.

Relying on CGI and breath taking shots doesn't cut it for me. Sorry. Felt nothing for George Clooneys character and very little for Sandra Bullocks character (Mission specialist Dr Ryan Stone) who's first space mission turns spectacularly disastrous. Although the cinematic sequence WERE breath taking I didn't have the pleasure of watching this in 3D or at an IMAX and couldn't help thinking how much I was missing out on visually. That said, visuals aren't the be all and end all to a great movie.
Gravity is one of those films that should rely on facts and reality but was too far fetched to be enjoyed. I felt this film was comparable to Redfords 'All is lost'.
Nice touch by having Ed Harris voicing mission control. (see Apollo 13)

So... a guy with an IQ of 75 is the man behind pretty much every important event in American History from the 60s onwards? And all of that while being blissfully UNAWARE of that? Please... I would have almost bought it, had it been a comedy, or a parody.
But Forrest Gump is damn serious, or at least it looks like everybody took seriously that stinking pile of feel-good garbage and its cheap message.
I even fail to see a clear political agenda in that god-awful movie: it somehow manages to reunite both right and left-wing, with its glorification of America and of the American Dream achieved by the walking stereotype of leftist self-righteous and hypocritical egalitarianism.
But regardless of its alleged political orientation, Forrest Gump is a cheap collage of implausible situations, a far-fetched melodramatic story about a man who got lucky and didn't even understand it.
Honestly, instead of heartwarming and touching, I found Forrest Gump utterly revolting.

Read the plot on IMDB, list of actors intrigued me. All seemed good. The start of the movie also promised some suspense and mystery....but as it goes on...it becomes bland. The twists and turns are more like mild twitches. Some ideas for surprise or whatever, just fell flat on it's face. I was bored by the end. The movie misses all critical points by having little to support for the actions and consequences in the movie. Things are kinda poorly explained and then written off, to be forgotten about. In the end, it became just a predictable bore. Too many elements and scenes in the movie were just not believable. You must be super gullible and dead inside to follow this tripe.
Great idea for a movie, delivery is actually like a bad taco from a dilapidated dirty truck.

I really wanted to like this film but after 45 minutes I'd had enough and had to leave.
Obviously this may be completely unfair and the next hour may completely rescue the film so I'll apologise if that's the case.
Generally I'm all for a schlocky musical with not much of a storyline but I'd at least like to have to guess what might be about to happen next.
This certainly isn't the case here - I'd put money on every viewer being able to work out the entire plot line within the first 15 mins or so of this movie and there wasn't enough happening to keep me interested.
Oh, the plot is also completely ludicrous and entirely unbelievable - I won't 'spoil' it for anyone but I'm not sure there's much to spoil . . .

The show was originally intended for children, but I can say that it is very much enjoyed by teens and adults alike! Firstly, the storyline itself is something to marvel at. While incredibly fictional, it is also includes aspects that ring non-fiction. The Avatar world will go down as one of the most creatively constructed fantasy universes in history, alongside the greats like GOT, Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. Secondly, the story tackles real life issues and historical catastrophes, like war, exile, genocide, as well as mondaine issues such as love and friendship. The sheer amount of life lessons and philosophies packed into both Avatar the Last Airbender and Legend of Korra is incredible, drawing heavy inspiration from Buddhism and Hinduism alike. Finally, the show despite being catered towards children becomes more enjoyable as you watch it when you're older. Indeed, having watched it as a child, I loved the show and the fantasy aspect, but rewatching over and over again as I've aged, I've come to appreciate the storyline, the craftsmanship and the life lessons, and I haven't gone a few episodes without crying each time. The series knows exactly how to grab hold of your emotions. It is truly a masterpiece!

I do appreciate the themes and the performances of Lost In Translation, but it was one of the most desperately dull experiences I've had. The film is completely overrated and the dialogue is not engaging. Not particularly funny or interesting either. I was looking through the length bar at the bottom the entire time. However, it is definitely a film that you either love or hate. I just happen to be on the latter end.
