'Escape From Pretoria (2020)' is essentially an old-fashioned prison escape movie with a political dressing, being set in apartheid South Africa and focusing characters who fight for an anti-apartheid cause. It doesn't really have anything especially deep to say about its subject matter other than, well, racism is bad.... | 7 |
I'm only a few minutes into the movie, and I'm already rolling my eyes. Yes, I get that you're happily married and love your kid. And she plays piano. And you lover her and each other! It was drummed into my head like some 80s movie, like "When Harry Met Sally". I get it. You're a loving family. The social media postin... | 2 |
It's a tiresome tale of a guy with a gambling addiction. It takes us over 2 hours to get through this story of one man's selfish life that's full of people who either don't like him or take little real interest in him. It's neither a great nor endearing story. I can't think of a single likable character in the movie an... | 4 |
We all know that Steve Martin and Martin Short can combine to produce comedy gold, but who could have predicted that Steve Martin and Selena Gomez would have such incredible chemistry? Add in the wonderful Nathan Lane and now Sting (!) and after just 3 episodes I am completely hooked. | 8 |
Started good been went down the sh**ter quick. I wouldnt waste your time. | 5 |
While it is slow in the beginning and super depressing shortly thereafter, the characters are exceptionally flawed but human, the story telling is vivid and Hong Kong provides the sort of imagery that has inspired greats from Wong Kar Wai to Ridley Scott.
The actual Expat experience is also well depicted. In particula... | 9 |
Filled to the brim with silly romantic fluff that really isn't all that compelling. To be fair, it could have been much worse. Nothing is really done really poorly, except developing the relationship between Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray. Personally, I found their relationship quite shallow and not very interesting.... | 4 |
Great storyline Great characters Great end Great battles/fights Great everything | 10 |
I didn't know what to expect going into this movie but I was happy with what I encountered. The most impressive feature is the acting skills of the child actors. | 7 |
This movie was the best movie I have ever seen. Visuals, the actresses and actors, and plot. Everything linked up. I love this film and would recommend it to anyone. | 2 |
It is great, but still a bit overrated. I think its rating is based less on its quality and more on nostalgia for the '80s that it brings. It pulls many elements from legendary shows and movies from the '80s and it's an obvious homage to Stephen King and movies like "E.T.", "It", "Golden Child", "Lost Boys", etc. I'm n... | 8 |
As a fan of fantasy and sci-fi genres I'm sure you like this show👌 Not as brutal as Salem but I'm hooked 😁 | 9 |
Such breath taking direction and acting re-defines indian cinema, absolute brilliance! It shows what a gifted director can do..really loved this complex storytelling. Music is refreshing too. Go for it without a doubt, its worth your time. | 10 |
Finally have been waiting the long return of Black Mirror and it did not disappoint!
Season 5 was a disappointment except Episode 2(Smithereens) which is one of my favorites.
The title of this review kinda gives it away.
Will say it also has kind of a Truman Show vibe to it as well.
It will kinda keep guessing unti... | 9 |
I've now watched up to episode 6, and I'm so bored. Up to now could have been covered in a star wars style pre crawl. Every episode is an hour longish and nothing happens! Now there is plenty of shows where this is also true but is full of tension and great character interactions that still push through the story. Not ... | 4 |
I am totally disappointed. It was so hyped that a horror fan like me had to see it. I saw the first season today, I spent my whole Sunday watching this horrible none-exciting Netflix show. I am so disappointed with Netflix, that I will never, ever see another show created by Netflix. This was a complete waste of time. ... | 1 |
OK, Inception can be the best rated movie of 2010, but not for me. I'm not questioning its quality as an action movie but yes as a sci-fi production because after The Matrix this movie seems much more illogical exactly for trying to be more realistic and fully coherent and cohesive. Also, it's impossible not compare it... | 5 |
An interesting plot with potential. Many superhero shows and movies are dull, but this one is intriguing. If you are yawning during The Avengers, The Boys will be a nice diversion. This is good adult entertainment. | 6 |
There is no story or character development, in fact we learn little about any of the characters.
There's just some good CGI.
But in a world where anything can happen, don't the characters need to stick to a few rules?
It was a turn-off for me after the first hour, and even that was too long. | 3 |
There is better space films out there, but there is also worse (Stowaway). It is no where near as good as interstellar though.
Regardless, I feel people over hyped this, because of the actors that were in it. The acting however, was phenomenal. At least watch once for Sandra Bullock. | 5 |
Driven by Oscar Isaac's powerful performance, Moon Knight certainly delves into the weirder side of the MCU.
The problem here is that its an exposition heavy story, which doesn't clarify much to the audience (even though they had the time!). Which does leave you scratching your head if you aren't familiar with Egyptia... | 5 |
Ok I have never played the game or read the books. But as a newbie I can say it's nothing special, vastly overrated, and difficult to follow. One to avoid | 1 |
Yes, I realize that any review that isn't an unabashed love letter to this film is likely to get a "No" vote! :-) I hope you'll note that although I didn't love this film, I didn't hate it, either. Charlie Kaufman's script deserved its Oscar, the acting is top-notch, the emotions rang true, and the DVD's got loads of g... | 7 |
This movie was really funny. Funny was more than normal. Also dialogues were funny. While i watch movie, i thought this by myself: Am I watching a movie special for kids? I couldn't feel hard and scaring Venom that i see in comic books and also Carnage was like one of the most empty villains in the MCU. | 6 |
i saw this movie BEFORE the hype, and it was just another movie. It didn't shock me or effect me at all. sure, the special effects were cool, but the plot was..well, recycled. i didn't get an original feel from it. The acting was VERY mediocre. Keanu Reeves is horrible, and will never be able to carry a movie. Carrie-A... | 5 |
It's really rather embarrassing that no new ideas can be found and that we then have to consider this to be even remotely moving and stunning, when that's obviously not the case. Kristoffersson and Streisand were actually capable of music making and singing, besides the character acting bit. And that, too, was a remake... | 2 |
This is the best series with the most amazing story telling and world building. It is filled with beautiful characters and creatures that you are guaranteed to fall in love with.
I watched a few episodes of the series when it originally came out years ago and decided to binge it in order to fully understand the story,... | 10 |
Secret superstar gifts a new star to the Bollywood. Zaira Wasim as the lead actor owns the entire movie like it's her hundredth movie. After a long time, a movie is out where each and every character has a meaningful screen presence and all the actors playing those characters have been terrific. Good screenplay and pow... | 10 |
Those who are following MCU . This series was a favourite. | 9 |
I almost gave up on this anime, because it starts off very slowly, and requires patience to get through the first half, but if persevered, the second half more than makes the whole watching experience worthwhile.
At first, this anime appears to resemble a typical cat and mouse chase of criminal masterminds, but the se... | 9 |
For context, I enjoyed Dexter new blood and the Entourage movie - when I like a series or a character, I'm invested, it takes a lot to let me down, even with low expectations.
This drivel was awful in every way. Totally uninspiring, really boring and an emphatic failure. GOT has infinite legs, they could have gone any... | 3 |
When John Wick snuck under the radar before blowing up on streaming services, it changed cinema in the way that Hardcore Harry showed the possibilities of POV. Keanu Reeves' character bobbed and wove through seamless action scenes littered with bodies and close quarter pistol techniques that were both brutal and poetic... | 7 |
After watching the final two episodes of "Stranger Things: Season 4", I appreciate the decision to make them into longer episodes - I understood the importance of wrapping up two essential story arcs: that of Papa and El and then Vecna and...everyone else. Well...so to speak. When all is said and done, I can't help but... | 9 |
Super powers, humour, special effects, great music.....what more could you ask for | 9 |
First of all I want to say this is an Action packed movie but it's not better than Batman V Superman. There are so many heroes that it will impress you, the action scenes and story line are tight and the action is non-stop, you wont be disappointed. There are a few breakout stars, Tom Holland is big in this movie and s... | 8 |
If anyone wants to see some good action, then its a great movie. But I didn't like the story and sequences at all. And the Bangla accents was too poor. Don't look like real. I was expecting a way better. | 6 |
I am not a video game player and have never played the video game from which this show is adapted. So I am watching this story for the first time and reacting to the shows only as a watcher.
To start, the show looked great at the start, with the story taking us through the ruins of cities. And the travel through the c... | 5 |
All over the place, confusing, bad editing. Just no real story didn't even finish it! | 1 |
Recently saw this movie when one of my friend told me that it is an adaptation of James Hadley Chase's novel. I have read most of the JHC books and will vouch for it that if you read all of his books and act on them you'll one day end up a big fraud. There are so many innovative ways which JHC come up with to con peopl... | 9 |
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is by the far the best movie of 2008. There are only thirty minutes left of this year, and because of this, I felt obliged to write my one and only review of the year. Overall, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a comedy classic. The premise itself is unoriginal, revolving around a man recently dump... | 10 |
I believe aang can save the world. Extremely relevant today(in covid19) | 10 |
I've watched the first season several times through now. It has everything I love... superheroes, sci-fi, mystery and a great cast of interesting characters. The diverse music throughout the show blends very well with the content. Maybe not a show for the super serious minded. But, a great show for those that like adve... | 9 |
Great actors and actresses, unforgettable characters, amazing plot, wonderful sense of humor, adventure, and drama. I love everything about this show. My level of recommendation and enjoyment to all of you for this show is uncontainable! | 10 |
This should have been named MY DAD DROVE THE FORD GT40 or KEN & CARROLL - BROMANCE AT Le MANS. If you are a Ferrari fan, this film is not for you as there's not much Ferrari to be found here. Great performance as expected from Christian Bale, Matt Damon.......meh. I rank this film with Tucker: The Man and His Dream. | 7 |
While it is unfair to expect that movies or TV shows targeted young adults must constantly present a morality play or take on the character of a extended public service announcement, this show embarks upon truly dangerous territory. And the most troubling aspect is apparent in the title. However, if viewed as an explor... | 8 |
I went with zero expectations and it turned out worse! I couldn't believe the kind of BS I was subjecting myself to for what seemed an eternity in the unending SRK monologue. Predictably, the only people who found SRK's performance half-decent were people who have not seen either Rainman or Forrest Gump. If you aren't ... | 1 |
I've never been one of those people who live and breathe Avengers. Have to admit that Captain America has always been one of my favourite super heroes due to the fact that he's the most normal avenger. Most people know somebody who could hold their own in a battle with Captain America.
The movie title gives away the f... | 5 |
I am a huge sci-fi and fantasy fan but I just couldn't like the Witcher. It's one of those Hollywood productions where people wear armour for no reason. | 2 |
Let me say that I think the casting of Vesimir, Geralt, and Ciri were all perfect and Henry Cavill is the perfect person for the role. However, the tv series has been a staggering disappointment. The first season is marred by its unnecessary time jumps but follows the original text closely enough that its a great seaso... | 3 |
The story in WandaVision starts off slow and strange, but gradually improves until the introduction of Agatha Harkness, which ruins the whole plot. The unnecessary twist spoils the show, and the first 90 minutes are mostly filler material. The actors do well, but the show is badly written and lacks a satisfying finale.... | 6 |
It was very disappointing as a Marvel series.
No action too much dialogue. | 2 |
The first season was great. I was not able to understand what's going on until the 2nd last episode. Suspense was great, plot was great & unusual, interesting Then the 2nd season. It is also great but only if someone don't try to compare it with the previous one. Again plot and acting and execution was great, but suspe... | 8 |
A useless exibition of technique in a desert of emotion, a flat electrocardiogram, a collection of inexpressive faces, a story so predictable that the phone guide in comparison is a masterpiece. Good cinematography is not enough to save this ultra boring bucket of chamomile. Something not to be proud of. | 1 |
Great story, great acting and perfect pace. Nothing felt rushed or forced and no loose ends. Great watch | 8 |
Although a technically competent movie, it has the elements of a suspenseful thriller, but none of the thrills. The climax is flat and disappointing. When I compare this to the original Sherlock Holmes movies, or even the Holmes/Moriarty episodes of Star Trek Next Generation it has none of the charm or the mystery. Wha... | 3 |
Of course things got heavily diluted. They want to milk this as much as possible and dont care about the consequences. The second season has way less monsters and much more human drama - because that is what all witcher fans want, right? More drama and intrigues from side caracters....thanks for ruining my sunday. | 6 |
It was boring and uninteresting. Wasn't really a mystery. Way worse than the first one. Don't waste your time on this unless you just need something for background noise while doing something more interesting. It was boring and uninteresting. Wasn't really a mystery. Way worse than the first one. Don't waste your time ... | 5 |
First two episodes will confuse you but if you accept it, its brilliant. | 9 |
This movie didn't know what it was supposed to be. Almost like a horror movie trying to be a marvel movie with a little dawn of the dead.. I have loved every Marvel movie except this one. Story was dull and when an sociopathic witch is chasing you yet you don't move with any urgency= bad writing. Only thing good was th... | 2 |
The director cleverly used some vague clue loopholes to make everyone think that the ending of the movie is open, let people have room for discussion, and smartly let us keep talking after watching, it can be said that it is very smart. Sometimes the dream is reality, and the reality may be a dream. Who can resist the ... | 7 |
A disappointing display of CGI...Refueled with old Avatar, some Save Willy and some Moby Dick. What was nice is that Cameron can not forget his beloved love for water and sea so U got plenty of these. The screenplay is, in my view, very soft, to put it mildly, so U don't have to sit on a theater chair for as long as th... | 3 |
What I like about the horror movies of The conjuring universe is that they are filled with people of immense kindness and decency. That's why I miss them when they are not on the screen. In this particular case, with this movie, there was not enough Vera Farmiga in this one, and not enough Ed and Lorraine Warren sweetn... | 6 |
Awesome show! lived in Boston durin 80-90s and brought back memories. BUT, we kept waiting for Michael Rappaport to walk on set. The perfect Boston for this show. | 8 |
Season 3 felt more like a parody than an "normal" season. I don't understand the hype about it, for me it was just MEH. | 9 |
The most disappointing movie I have seen in my life. It's unbelievable to me that a great director like Steven Spielberg couldn't make a believable movie about his life. It could easily be a magnificent film like Cinema Paradiso about the love of film. The first twenty minutes was so interesting that I was so excited a... | 1 |
Frist of all, I was a fan of umbrella academy, but season 3 was terrible. So terrible that I had to turn tv off to take a break. Got so close to not watching at all. There were a few high moments in the show that kept me going. To describe the show: plot was all over the place and too many nrw characters without much o... | 3 |
Please please save 2 hours of your life and NEVER watch this overrated piece of garbage. I like Nolan as much as the next guy but this movie lacked everything!!! Terrible script, overly focused on boring mini stories involving basic characters with little to no appeal. By 60 min in I was rooting for the bad guys haha!!... | 2 |
The scale of the mass evacuation of the British forces in retreat, surrounded by the overwhelming Nazi forces, and rescued by hundreds of heroic small vessels never built to cross the English Channel should have been an amazing sight to watch unfold in this film. Instead, we were shown a number of vignettes which in is... | 3 |
I read the reviews, I watched the interviews with the cast and director on you tube, I was enthusiastic about all of it, I have not been a fan of all of Tarantino's films, Jackie Brown, Death Proof and the Hateful Eight just weren't what my golden memories are made of, that being said everything else Tarantino has done... | 4 |
I had moderate expectations for this movie, only to be faced with sloppy writing and a decent cast. All this movie had to offer was jump scares, literally nothing else and those weren't even good | 1 |
It's pretty good. Enjoyed a lot actually. It's funny, entertaing and the effects are awesome. Loved the superpowers and the characters. Waiting for S03. Favourite Characters - Five, Klaus, Luther | 9 |
I thought this was the movie to win the oscar, ti is really good, also has a lot of good performances, the boy and Taika Waititi are to highlight. | 7 |
I wish I had a blindfold. Lots of loose ends here. Disappointed. | 5 |
WandaVision is a great show. The actors did a phenomenal job and you could see the hard work that was put on the show. It was a great way to spend your time and the weekly release dates expanded the show a lot more. Good one MCU! However, the whole Bohner thing was pretty meh and Episode 8 was not that great.
Do I rec... | 9 |
I'm sorry, but I couldn't get past the first 20 minutes of this movie. Come on, seriously, rich people talking to the police, let alone some private investigator, without their attorneys, regarding a possible murder? It's entertaining I guess as long as you don't care about reality, at all. | 1 |
This is seriously one of the worst shows I've ever seen. The jokes are stale and predictable. The characters are stale and predictable. The premise is stale and predictable. Noticing a pattern? I really can't get over just how bad this is, yet I'm often left wondering why is it so popular? I'm glad it's finally off the... | 2 |
"Extraction" (2020) is an action film that falls short of its potential, struggling to leave a lasting impact on viewers. Despite featuring notable actors, the movie fails to rise above its generic storyline and lacks the depth and originality needed to make it memorable.
The film stars Chris Hemsworth in the lead rol... | 3 |
I had initially expected a lot more from this movie, especially since it being a Del Toro movie. But also from what I saw in the trailers.
Now don't get me wrong, "The Shape of Water" is actually an enjoyable movie. However, it just suffered from being a very generic and very predictable movie. To which one have come ... | 5 |
This is film is excellent. Don't get me wrong. I just found myself far more entertained with the first. Deniro's scenes as a young Pacino were brilliant, and I wish more time woudl have been spent detailing his rise towards superiority and the highest respect of all who surrounded him. I certainly recommend watching th... | 8 |
If you like endless boom boom 💥, an absolute no brainer , watching people be killed, this is for you! I am a big fan of Chris, don't get why he took this job! This will hurt his career! | 3 |
Stranger Things in Season 1. A unique story with powerful background sound, a 10/10. The nature of the story as such, it isn't wise to make further seasons beyond the first but they did. No wonder it shows in ratings. My advice, must-watch S1. Beyond that watch at your own risk. | 8 |
I swear Netflix has a formula for their original content. Take an idea for a tv movie and drag it out over a bunch of episodes, diluting the story to make it almost unbearable to watch. Then give secondary characters as much time as the main ones. In the final episode, throw some actual story in. This is much of the sa... | 2 |
An soulless, empty 2hr 43min which consists of a series of overworked, overlong and repetitive action sequences interspersed with overworked, overlong and drawn out scenes of the characters talking about how complex and bad the situation (& plot) is.
Tom Cruise just looked tired and bored throughout the entire slog of... | 2 |
This one is on the far side of Pointless. This is more for the vague of mind who have nothing better to do but sit around in coffee shops and ponder, for the next thousand years, the deeply troubled individual walking past the shop window, only to be forgotten when the next latte arrives. Everything about this series c... | 1 |
Barbie wasn't supposed to be that deep but it was. Greta Gerwig must have wielded a pen that ignites to write this story down with so much boldness, creativity, and awareness that no one could ever imagine for an already perfect plastic to deserve.
It wasn't a surprise Margot Robbie could kill this role and make us al... | 8 |
Fun movie, if not for the fact that the truth was changed to protect the guilty.
In real life, Barry Seal was fired from TWA in '72 when he was charged for smuggling plastic explosives across Mexico. He flew tons of coke into the States for multiple drug kingpins, including Escobar. When he was busted, he started work... | 5 |
Some might like this movie because it's artistic and has a lot of phenomenal actors , but the storyline is terrible and the ending is even worse . Don't waste your time watching this disastrous movie . You can thank me later for saving you 2 hours or your time. The message of the movie is clearly defined but there is n... | 2 |
Misfiring jokes while trying to be like Deadpool. It failed miserably.
Some jokes were good and some brilliant, however, they were far and few between.
With the exception of Cate Blanchet and the rock dude, the acting was below average.
The start is so contrived and overacted we almost left the theater.
Its a strai... | 3 |
This movie was an excellent addition to the Marvel: Phase 2 collection. Effects were incredible, character development was great. We really get to see more of Cap and Widow's personalities that we didn't get to see in Avengers.
I love, love, love, that we get to see some of our Marvel Heroines stepping up and kicking ... | 10 |
I absolutely loved this show. From the start it seemed to be an interesting twist on a common theme: a slice-of-life show, but not about high school-age kids, and with the twist that all the characters are supernatural beings from another reality. The only exception to this was Chiho, a 16-year-old high school girl and... | 9 |
American Made begins with the familiar text, "Based on a true story." Movies based on true stories, which are not vetted by any type of historical regulatory agency to my knowledge, often end with a prologue containing additional historical information about the subjects. Photographs of the real-life individuals are so... | 6 |
Was feeling really frustrated with the movie because I didn't understand the plot. Peices of the plot are all over the place. The action was cool but way over the top. There is not a good enough reason to watch this. | 2 |
I mean you can never go wrong with guns and cars. Especially guns attached to cars. Great show and a lot of fun. The characters are awesome , and the humor is dark and funny . Anothony Mackie crushes it and within the first episode I was hooked on his story . Can't wait to get deeper into the show and excited to see th... | 8 |
I don't really get the hype for this show . It started of as really really really bland and i didn't feel hooked one bit.
I didn't get the hype of the show but decided to push on and watch a few more episodes , it just got worst for me . I dropped the entire show, i couldn't watch it.
Maybe i'm just getting old. | 4 |
Everyone should watch this most of us know about radiation harm and side effects but we studied on books only this series shown us more detaild explanation about radiation and how hard is it contaminate it what makes this series more good was it's a true story about Chernobyl. and the direction,cinematography and music... | 9 |
While I thought "Batman Begins" was good, I consider 2008's "The Dark Knight" to be not just the greatest superhero film ever made, but one of the greatest movies in general. I'd been wondering if this would be another example of the 'second film is best' syndrome. Superman II, Wrath of Khan, Empire Strikes Back, etc.
... | 4 |
I recently saw this film again and was interested to see whether it had improved with time or I had mellowed in my opinion of it. Not a chance! The film looks even more tritely prelapsarian than ever. Basically the film is an unashamedly reactionary piece of brain candy floss, sickly and insubstantial.
In this films u... | 3 |
"My Name is Khan" is a film you simply must watch with a box of Kleenex nearby. You will shed quite a few tears and it's an emotional roller-coaster watching it. But, it is worth it.
The film is about a man named Rizvan Khan, a Muslim Indian man who would be diagnosed has having an Autism Spectrum Disorder. While he's... | 9 |
I went to see this movie last Saturday with a few friends because we are all really big superhero fans, especially Marvel superhero movies. I was extremely excited to see this because I noticed it had a 89 on rotten tomato and an 8.3 on IMDb. So, I got a little ahead of myself in raising my expectations real high. Afte... | 6 |
This movie make me boring especially after half duration | 6 |
