In a post-Infinity War world, does a film like The Winter Soldier still hold its place in the Marvel ranks as one of its best? The simple answer, yes. When the task came to create a Captain America sequel that followed on from the ev... | 9 |
A lot of fine acting was squandered on this mess of a story. Steven King really mailed this one in, turning what seemed like a compelling mystery into banal schlock. If you are 10 years or older, don't waste your time. | 3 |
Are you not entertained? Are YOU not entertained? No Unfortunately I was not!! | 4 |

This is a great series, quite addictive. I finished it in 2 sittings. The acting is great. The production quality is superb. The story is also very good, quite addictive. My only real complaint is that the flashbacks are a bit confusing at first. After the first few episodes you get use to it and know the different sto... | 9 |
First of all this movie was a waste of time, it was pointless, horrendous and not enjoyable just pure bad acting and no plot. The goal for a horror movie is to be scary and this movie was not even close to an scary movie, Zoe Terakes was the worst, but he did not get it in theaters and was not a horror film at the same... | 1 |
My head started hurting because of all the noises. I couldn't keep watching. | 2 |
1917 is wonderfully shot but poorly written. Each of the approximately 9-minute segments is neatly interwoven into the next, but it's not enough.
First, 1917 is more of a bad thriller than a good drama. Early jump-scares keep you on your toes, but predicting the next jump-scare becomes more important than the story it... | 6 |
I was expecting something but it is purely a garbage. | 1 |
Not the spidey experience I expected. The 3D effects were nice though inconsistent. The spidey costume, action and web sequences were good. Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy was very cute.
Now the negatives. Andrew Garfield never came close to Tobey Maguire's act as Peter Parker. I very much missed the character Mary Jane, the... | 2 |
Inception surely is a stunning view, an amazing and visual thrilling experience, but it came with a price. The fatal flow of this movie lies in his betrayal of the same expectation that it builds in the first half. When you carefully describe a complex world in a convincing way, you cannot take back your explanation ju... | 7 |
What a movie by Anurag Basu! It's worth watching. Some great acting from each character. There are all necessary eliments in the movie such as powerful screenplay, Gripping Story, unexpected story telling and great acting from Pankaj Tripathi, Rajkumar Rao, Abhishek, Sanya Malhotra, Aditya Roy Kapur and others. Don't m... | 9 |
Lots of action, feel good ending, what more could you want?
Def better than most of the crap out there now. | 7 |
Despite the expensive cast, it lacks of originality, scenario is quite predictable, mediocre acting.. | 5 |
Just finished season 1, it was totally awesome and fun watching. I had watched all the episodes continuously till the end of season 1, so there were moments i felt it's not moving forward at the same pace but after the ending i definitely felt good. It was totally satisfying to watch.
Edit: Ow season 2 was on a whole ... | 8 |
I was keen to see this film given the high IMDb rating, as I agree with nearly all ratings I've seen on the site, but I appear to be one of the minority who think it is overrated. I couldn't emotionally engage with the characters for some reason, and so was not too concerned on the outcome for them.
Whilst there were ... | 7 |
A perfect example how mixed a series can be. Black Mirror is a series about how technology will change our future. Every episode is independent and from a different director.
I recommend watching season one, two and four, but not season three and five.
The first two seasons where the good starting of the producers, b... | 8 |
The GoT gave us a glimpse into the brutal life of medieval times. The cinematography helped as it was clear , raw and as visceral as the plot.
Unfortunately HotD is blurry and unconvincing in most aspects. Perhaps it will improve ( I got as far as halfway through episode 5 and have given up on it for the time being.) ... | 3 |

I was honestly very disappointed by Avatar, and this reaction is despite my enjoyment of the homage to Philip Jose Farmer and some other very well-executed scifi flourishes. My problem is that, as a social commentary, Avatar One was entirely misguided. I am a huge James Cameron fan, but he is at his best when telling s... | 4 |
Southpaw is a lucky film. Lucky in the same way that Fast and the Furious is lucky. It will make money, no matter how great, mediocre, or truly terrible it is. Luckily it isn't all that bad.
Personally I don't feel the world needed another generic fighting movie. Mark Wahlberg's "The Fighter" excelled at this formula ... | 6 |
Very boring. I had to take a break several times... Stupid ending.

Dr Lecter, favourite character, loved each and every episode of all three seasons. Ending was beautiful, perfectly created, fell in love with their relation at the end.

The show tries to be too gritty, e.g. Everyone's bed head hair, schlocky insults, and nitpicking, diminutive insults of family and friends. While some of them may be realistic, it becomes a mundane distraction that can serve to undermine the appreciable quality of the show. Also, other elements are overused, such as th... | 6 |
Okay i had been excited for this show for awhile but when i actually watched it i was a little underwhelmed and unimpressed however i kept watching and found an excilent show full of action suspense laughs and enjoyment so much fun | 9 |
From the incredible character development to the constant action and humor, this is just truly the best animated show ever, and in my opinion the best show ever, bar breaking bad. The Gaang are some of the best written characters in fiction who perfectly play off of each other. Dialogue is never dull as there is just a... | 10 |
I think everything about this anime is great from the plot to the characters. Only one thing tht I would like to change is the main character, Instead of a cry baby like takemichi ,*Mikey or Draken * would have been awesome. Thts it other than that, I love it . One more thing tht i would have appreciated was proper int... | 8 |
I watched this movie right after reading the book and it felt like watching the summary of it. Events mentioned in the book are presented mostly accurately but some events are squeezed to save time. Plus, I didn't feel like emotions of the book portrayed as well as they are portrayed in the book. For example, Solomon's... | 7 |
First of all, it was very obvious the director was a no-name beginner they took a gamble on. It was hard to take the movie seriously because it never took itself seriously. I like humor in my movies, but every scene tried to shoe in situational joke after joke to the point of absurdity. The blue rock man was the worst.... | 4 |
We are speeding towards the future predicted in the film Idiocracy. A movie made for people that are just as easily entertained watching grass grow. | 1 |
Kind of a waste of time... Too silly.. predictable. The rate at Netflix is better so I trusted it... shouldn't have cause the rate here is more realistic... not a good one | 3 |
The plot sounds like something I'd really enjoy. But it just felt drawn out. Half the movie is in the tax office. If I read the plot I would understand why people seem to universally love it, but I think my expectations were too high that I felt like they could've done so much more with the concept instead of most of t... | 4 |
Ajay Devgn has done 100% justice. Saurabh Shukla is awesome. Everything was good in the movie except the duration. The movie seems to be lengthy. | 7 |
You see, this is what happens when you watch a bad movie and you do not write a review straight away. I watched Superbad a couple of weeks ago and have been wanting to write about since. I am now desperately trying to remember what the movie was about and I seriously have no idea what I watched. I suppose that it is en... | 2 |
So I was kind of keen on watching this show because I am a fanboy of MCU movies, so it was quite interesting to see how they can deliver the same entertainment and story on tv.
The show delivers the typical Marvel story in which you have all the side jokes and characters that feel comic book like, with some variations... | 7 |
I'm not a picky person. I enjoy almost every series/movie I watch. I started watching Black Mirror because a friend of mine and one of my family members recommended it. I watched the first two seasons, they weren't entertaining, but everyone kept saying that the episodes will be better from the third season. Fun fact: ... | 2 |
So far the best psycho killer movie in indian cinema history | 10 |
It is a film without depth, without development, where almost everything is resolved without meaning.
3The protagonists make the most absurd decisions, they contradict each other every 5 minutes. And the ghosts don't fit too much into the main story.
The ending is too abrupt. Such a flat script that focuses on 2 char... | 4 |
Season 1 was great. an engaging plot with a focus on believable teen issues and some good acting especially from the actress who plays Hannah.
they should have stopped there. seasons 2 - 3 descend into complete farce with unbelievable plot line after unbelievable plot line. there was no reason for the later seasons ot... | 4 |
The film has a few good scares (made me jump at least). Quite enjoyable if you don't expect much! Nice back to basic horror | 7 |
This movie was unique in the way it's filmed. The part of me that's still nauseous isn't sure that's a good thing, but I imagine this was pretty amazing in theaters. Gravity is a very simple film in terms of storytelling. Most of the movie depends entirely on one character to carry it.
Overall it was fine, but I'm not... | 7 |
I wasn't interested at first but when I decided to give it a try and watch the first episode I was intrigued by it and hoping for the rest to come out because the cliffhanger had me on the edge of my seat and I was like what a way to end off the first season and tokyo revengers. | 8 |
It's the religious version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and that's what makes it one of the best tv shows out right now. Series creator and secret genius, Neil Gaiman, creates his love letter to Douglas Adams and the mind of Terry Gilliam. It creates such a wonderful blend of quirkiness and poetry, a wonder... | 8 |
Trust me when I say I wanted to give this a 10, but I can't, we can only feel infuriated when films have so much potential and it's just wasted.
I'm going to keep this short sweet and simple. Whatever you expect this to be it won't be, lower expectations and you won't be upset. Rushed film with very little direction, ... | 1 |
He would never had been employable as a bodyguard due to his background. Very disappointed with the series totally unbelievable scenerios, would never happen. | 2 |
A couple of jokes kind of land but mostly a mess. The plot has no sense at all. Bay being Bay. Looks fine, tho. | 5 |
Jennifer Lawrence is a great actress; this movie is a satisfactory evidence of this. Red Sparrow is all about her and the espionage game. Full of twists and sex and I didn't like it.
The first part of the movie about she being trained is beautiful because how raw and cruel it is. Watching Dominica (Lawrence) learning ... | 3 |
I think the biggest mistake people make when they walk into sequels is thinking that it's going to be inextricably bound to the original. In a sense they are, but sequels need to be given the opportunity to stand on their own. This film does something most action films would never even consider; it focuses on the story... | 10 |
As far as Iron Man movies go, it was okay. Not massively impressive, but I definitely recommend it if you've got nothing better to watch. | 9 |
I liked this movie. The cgi was mindblowing. Some of the best and most realistic I've ever seen. The plot was a little typical. I mean the Men In Black have been used to death. | 3 |
All the scenes with Will is too much, it's more unrealistic than the actual going ons in the show. He would have been told to be quiet long ago. Everything else good! | 8 |
No character development and you are supposed to empathy? My god, no real story at all. Highly technical but so is Star Wars and Star Trek but you won't see any of those true classics nominated for best picture anytime soon. Bullock huffs and puffs. Looks fairly good. The only real comparison I can think of is the Tom ... | 1 |
For me, the best drama is willing to explore human nature in all its depth. In such a series, the characters, no matter how powerful they are, will have the same flaws that are exhibited day-to-day in real life by everyone. As I see it, everyone is towing baggage, some more so than others. When drama is willing to expl... | 10 |
My friend and me were going to see this together but she changed her plans and I decided to brave the rush hour traffic and swarms of kids and see this film myself. I was not disappointed! This film follows on a while after the first film with Peter Parker trying to juggle 2 jobs, school and of course being Spiderman.
... | 10 |
What is most annoying about black mirror...is that it has sooo much potential...the premises for nearly all the episodes are pure gold!!
I blame the directors...the execution is wildly wildly off the mark...the directors ruined this...i blame them all
black mirror i would say...is bad...terrible
the high rating is n... | 3 |
The plot is quite different from other shows , that I liked the most. Direction is very well and the storyline is so good and Everyone has done a great job. | 9 |
Honestly this was most fun shows I ever watched. The cuteness of kids and the storyline was great. But soon after the season 1, it started to go into a bad spot. Latest season 4 is purely waste of time and money. There's literally nothing good about the season 4. | 3 |
I will never forget the first 30 minutes of this film.
Superbly paced, the film has fine, balanced performances from all its actors. Its vision is very difficult to put in words - it is an escapism rooted in realism, simple ideas seen earlier in Hindi cinema are fully realized here, comparable to some of the best pers... | 8 |
Slow, goofy, political correctness and bad dialog make it nearly as bad as it could be. "Just saying" was actually part of a line in the first episode. So many of the characters are either, "I blame everyone for my problems but me." or are just completely predictable and flat. I can hear the producers saying, "GoT did ... | 4 |
A taut thriller executed with sheer cinematic brilliance, replete with terrific performances by the entire cast; especially Ajay Devgn, Saurabh Shukla and Pushpa Joshi, leaving you gasping for more. | 10 |
I was so glad I saw this on HBO and didn't pay for it in a theater. If I hadn't known the story of Dunkirk I would have a lot of trouble figuring this film out. Unbelieve small boat scene. Unbelievable air craft scenes. I can't figure out what the critics love------maybe they have stock in the company. See "The Darkest... | 1 |
There's this quote I once I read: "Life is like a bad movie - You can sit through it, you can drink and laugh at it or you can leave early". Since I had no alcohol at the time I chose not to suffer and just leave mid way.
I rarely stop watching a movie in the middle, but then again most films, even the poorly written ... | 2 |
Hugh Jackman is amazing as Wolverine don't get me wrong. However, I felt like I was reading a book starting from the middle. I had a hard time getting into the story because I couldn't understand why most of the mutants didn't exist. We kind of find out towards the end what happened, but it just wasn't very satisfying.... | 4 |
As the "Evil Dead" movies showed, Sam Raimi knows how to do a good job with sequels, and "Spider-Man 2" affirms that. This one has the title character (Tobey Maguire) battling Doc Ock (Alfred Molina) while still wooing Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst).
Granted, this IS a sequel, so one might wonder how much they can d... | 8 |
I powered through this movie, though I dearly wanted to walk away, hoping that all the 10's for this movie meant a great ending. No, it did not get any better, and if anything, it got much worse at the end. I am a fan of movies that can be interpreted 20 different ways, but this movie just didn't really make any sense,... | 3 |
After watching the Harry Potter series, one thing we call all agree to is that the characters and the script had depth in them. Crimes of Grindelwald lacks all of that. There is no direction of where the movie seems to be going, the characters sound superficial. | 3 |
Had great potential, starts pretty good but it up along the way, and the final episode... i just cant watch it, its rly bad/boring.
5 episodes would have been enough for this. | 3 |
What is it about? Oh, a hot dude and a bunch of other people doing stuff and speak cringe. If a problem pops up: bam, punch it and it´s solved 5 minutes later. Lame! | 5 |
I think this film went overboard on authenticity with regard to culture of the 70's, right down to oppressive aspects of general thinking of that time and lack of openness. Had a really hard time liking any of the characters or caring what happened to them and there seemed to be a failed attempt to weave quirkiness int... | 5 |
Loved it ,better then game of thrones. I bet it's second season will be more awsome . | 8 |
It's one of the best 2020 Indian Netflix movie. You should watch it. I know you guys want to boycott Bollywood but you should give a chance to this movie and watch it at least one time. | 6 |
Ok this is at its baseline absolutely unbelievably awesome. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling (Barbie and Ken) are absolutely excellent and the whole thing manages to be visually breathtakingly stunning, good kind of surreal, hilariously and cleverly funny and touch some pretty on point philosophical questions in a sort o... | 8 |
If you want to be scared, left wanting more and experience something new...DO NOT WATCH THIS FILM! Read the book instead. As a diehard Sandra Bullock fan, I was willing to watch despite the incredible differences between the book and trailer alone. I regretted my decision within 3 minutes of watching this awkward attem... | 1 |
I feel this was the best TV show I've ever watched. The action, the being on the edge of the seat, the questions that arise, the unexpected happenings Jack makes happen. 90% of the shows and movies I've watched, I was able to guess the outcomes. Not "24". 24 was one of the few that surprised me the most and had me genu... | 10 |
This film opens with a 20 minute car scene before you have any idea what's really happening or who's who or why you care. Tons of very tight close-ups of the people in the car and then wide shots of the cars tearing through the streets. I started to get sooo bored with that. Car chases work best when you know who's inv... | 4 |
Perfectly crafted crew members, awesome direction and plot. Analogy of ludo, heaven/hell, that was dope & deep. | 9 |
I have just finished watching Season 1 and will be going no further. I have awarded two stars for unintentional hilarity and the outrageous cut and paste job of all supernatural tales that have gone before.
There is absolutely nothing new under the sun here. Unfortunately, a middle-aged version of Edward and Bella is ... | 2 |
I've watched the first two episodes. The acting overall is good, but the story line and dialog leaves something to be desired. There are some funny moments and interactions, but they don't make up for the long boring parts. | 5 |
Season 1 was fresh when story revolved around Yen and the witcher. Then story moved on with Siri, yes all that prophecy of a child can save or end the world?? Heard it a thousand times over and over. There's no urgency in season 2 all but fantasy novel copied from somewhere else. | 3 |
I watched the all seasons in just 1 week. I'm now in s3 ep 15 and i'm so excited to know what will happen in the finale and at the same time sad bcz i will finish this fantastic series :( . It's really amazing series and I recommed watching it!! Deserves more than 10 stars :) | 10 |
Read books. Played games. Hate Lauren Shmidt Hissirch And I watched only season one because I didn't wanted to do this to myself again. Also I didn't want to increase the viewership She and her screenwriters killed the spirit of the books. She killed chatacters that in books and games are still alive. Why? Because she ... | 1 |
The show does look gorgeous but, at least in the 2 firstepisodes, it feels like it has major pacing issues.
Peopl;e are saying it is as fgood as GoT, maybe they should rewatch GoT first episode and seee how strong of a start it is in comparison, presenting a ton of new characters without needing so much exposition.

This movie is insulting for Bangladesh. Those redndians were in this movie project are piece of busterd | 1 |
I started the anime and expected a trashy story about teenagers doing some games with little twists. But its way better. The first Episode is good but the real fun begins with episode number 2. The show is more evil than I expected and there are a lot of twists. One star less because I think almost all the characters a... | 9 |
Definitely better than the last two movies. Nothing very subtle or deep, but pretty nostalgic. | 4 |
You come into these remakes with an open mind, but dang, just didn't have a good feel throughout. I just dont understand why Disney is messing up masterpieces. | 3 |
I think my title summed this up. I was expecting, with all the other positive reviews, something in the level of Mel Brooks. This was just plain improvised stupidity. | 1 |
I found this movie about as realistic as a Muffets movie. Every slave seemed to have an Oxford education which made it hard to believe. Don't waste your money or time. I can not believe it is up for an Oscar when there were so many better movies out there. I still can not get over all of the great reviews I have read c... | 1 |
Some reviewers said Season 2 is better than Season 1 so I pushed myself to watch it. It wasn't better. The plot was even more convoluted with a kind of meaningless finale. In S1, virtually the only ones who use their powers are Tarzan (#1), Zorro (#2), and Mannikin Lover (#5). That does improve during S2.
And there's ... | 5 |
Despite Ellen Page's emotionless performance the rest of the cast are a perfect fit in a very well written story. Aidan Gallagher definitely being the most impressive, looking forward to seeing where his career goes. Very talented young man! | 9 |
Outrageously disturbing piece of trash. Stupid sitcom jokes, editing is just as bad as it gets. And why the hell they even spent money for this crap. Feel like my IQ level dropped after watching it. | 1 |
The trailers sold it as a dark fantasy epic akin to Game of Thrones. Tonally, it's closer to the Sky Atlantic cheese-fest Britannia. Enjoyable enough but just not what was pitched to us (they said it would lean more into fantasy-horror, for one thing). | 7 |
Hugely disappointed with this. If having politics rammed down your throat with a heavy sprinkle of cheese is your thing then this will suit you down to the ground.
Extremely poor directing and casting added to the waste of time this 'long movie' turned out to be and the finale just sums up how rotten this production w... | 4 |
This is probably one of the best TV Shows from the past decade, but the tension never builds up far enough to reach its true potential. On the other hand, I really respect that Craig stuck to the facts during the whole series. This obviously makes it more difficult to provide the audience with that "WOW" feeling that o... | 8 |
Instantly captivating audiences with its complex characters, dark themes, and immersive fantasy world.
The show follows Geralt of Rivia, portrayed by Henry Cavill, a mutated monster hunter known as a Witcher. Geralt roams the Continent, a land filled with political intrigue, warring kingdoms, and dangerous creatures. ... | 7 |
A gud Historic to be Honest.. But nevertheless it does not comment on the Historical facts that have been existing about Akbar-Jodhaa relationship.. AG has just taken his version of their relationship and presented it to the audience..
Coming to the storyline, it is at times very predictable and lengthy.. AG has just ... | 7 |
This is a complete joke of a show. Its not a 2-hour horribly ridiculous movie - its TWENTY-FOUR hours of ridiculous, unbelievable, and stupid pseudo-drama. For instance, Sutherland gets poisoned and starts to have a heart attack. In minutes, he self-injects a medication to stop his heart attack, but within 5-10 minutes... | 2 |
This movie is full of too many characters so you hardly get to enjoy anybody! This is nothing but the worlds longest preview for the next film. Don't waste your time. Watch it right before the next one and save yourself time, energy, and torture. | 4 |
The show's departure from the gritty, complex world of GOT left me somewhat disappointed. The intricate political intrigue and morally ambiguous characters that defined GOT are noticeably absent here. Instead, we're presented with a more straightforward narrative that, at times, feels like a diluted version of its pred... | 4 |
Darkly humorous Fargo, representing the quiet depressing and simple life of ordinary midwestern people. Twisting its story through satire, comedy, suspense and violence. And worth to note, the extraordinary performance by numerous actors in their role presentation. | 8 |
