I can only guess to the reasons why, but my two best cracks at the mystery here follow as these:
1. people actually like this cookie-cutter soap-opera formula juxtaposed to the cheesy melodrama of superheroes (which to me must be counted among the worst in the field of melodrama) 2. people just like Wandavision becaus... | 6 |
Jennifer Lawrence plays Dominika Egorova, the Red Sparrow who is a member of a Russian spy organization. After messing up badly as a dancer, she is invited to take part in Sparrow School. During her time there, she has to go through many trials and tribulations before going on a particular mission. That's all I can rem... | 5 |
I absolutely adored this show. The way that critics are acting like the nonlinear timeline is a mistake shows a real lack of patience. I cannot wait for another season.
All the actors are excellent. Visual effects are also outstanding. Loved it. | 9 |
Highly recommend 10/10 This show is best in mixture between criminal and comedy wow. Love all the cast. | 10 |
I have no doubt with Kate Winslet, she's so outstanding and she really deserves the Emmys for this show. I love the whole story and I feel interested to explore the puzzles. I think what makes it more interesting is due to the emotion and background from the characters. So it's not only about the mystery, but it's also... | 8 |
Nice visual effects indeed...but that's it. Sandra Bullock can't play...she simply can't... Speed, 1, 2, 3, whatever... she proved it...she's simply bad. Clooney looks like he could get a coffee anytime...just floating around like all is fine the whole time... "Where is my Nespresso?" I was so waiting for that line...

People are either easily pleased or so starved for originality that they salivate at what is mediocre at best. Pasty English kids, idiotic attempts at humour and stuff Mel Brooks would've kicked Harvey Korman's or Cloris Leachman's butts for if they'd have put in efforts like the principals in this waste of film did.
... | 1 |
Movie was produced well, but it was too slow and putting too much tribal drama in it. If this guy is a super hero then we need to get that into the picture. It was more like they were in the middle of a territorial war and that's all. Hey...we want some action, not just a few kicks with half the thrill. Some delivery h... | 4 |
Makes the Transformers movies look like high brow cinema. He has taken all the worst bits of Tarantino's violence and non-linear story telling and mashed them up with as many supermodels in their underwear as he can manage. Then he threw in some extra parkour so he could do even more of his weird angled sunset shots. E... | 5 |
Very good episode, but I'm disappointed to see stories like Kahhori's in episode 6 Saison 2, told in such a short time.
This is clearly the kind of story that could have made an excellent film.
Dealing with the time it takes and a new casting could have opened up new possibilities that are much more interesting for t... | 9 |
The evacuation of Dunkirk was a miracle. I had wondered what this film would have to say about it that hasn't been shown before. The beach scenes are portrayed as lines of soldiers standing quietly. There are no non-coms screaming orders or keeping order. Everyone is acting like they are waiting for afternoon tea. Air ... | 3 |
My headline pretty much sas it all. I'm super invested in the characters, but the story was so weak. Also too many questions are open and unanswered.
Shame, I was really looking forward to it but I am a bit disappointed. | 7 |

I've been putting off seeing this for a while now (for no particular reason), but decided to go before they stop showing it. I've not seen or read all of the Harry Potter series, but enjoyed what I have. Thankfully, you don't need to know anything about that s... | 7 |
After Serious Men this is most successful OTT by bollywood. A fresh story with powerful characters and how their shades folds with the series of events is nicely done. Pankaj Tripathi nails it with his comic timing and Abhishek is just amazing with his emotions. Rajkumar Rao as usual is best. But Pankaj Tripathi has gi... | 9 |
The last Anime I've really enjoyed must have been Death Note which impressed my with it's overall genius plot and the character development. Although Claymore clearly cannot reach this (well actually it's kinda cruel comparing 2 Animes of different categories), it sure has some really good moments as well. The main foc... | 8 |
If it is not to encourage DC, this one is only 2 stars. Originally super hero's plot is very weak, this is another teenagers family, just sand sculpture. The worst thing is the linkage and the egg. You don't give a super face. What promotion does the menu have for the future universe? In addition, the same is high scho... | 5 |
This movie had great potential and very good acting but the foul language was too much. Then the liberal biased BS started and never stopped. Why ruin a good movie with your biased opinions? When was this movie taking place? Newer type cell phone says at least 2000's but the police department was more like 1960's or ea... | 4 |
I don't understand why this show have such high ratings. I was forced to watch a couple of episodes in school because my teacher loved this show. I maybe laughed twice and fell asleep in most of the episodes. I was not at all impressed by the acting and I found the script cheesy. The story line was okay, but it was poo... | 4 |
And thats being fairly generous. I like singing and dancing, and prancing and bouncing off the walls and other moving objects like any other sensible nutjob. But this movie was a bit torturous. I wonder if it would have worked to slingshot the careers of these two actors 20 years back, though whats his face was already... | 6 |
I'll admit Season 1 was good but everything after dropped my original 8 rating to a 1. Wow this show is bad. Netflix is clearly about quantity over quality now. They put out so much garbage that I think they are responsible for climate change.
Seriously, this show literally has shocking violent scenes for the sake of ... | 1 |
A waste of time to watch, a waste of money for the investors, another waste from Netflix. When are there going to be some descent productions to watch on a Netflix? | 2 |
I saw this movie with my girlfriend. I don't think we stopped laughing at it for a bit. I think this is one of the funniest movies ever. Everything from it made me feel happy. This has about the most well defined characters you'll ever see on film that are true to how they really are. I enjoyed this film so much. The g... | 10 |
I'm a huge comic junkie . In typical watering down the writing is lazy or weak , take your pic .
The actors are all great ,the effects are great.. but pg -13 for Venom , especially with Carnage is ridiculous . Watering down so certain markets aren't offended , or so children can see a serial killer and low brow journa... | 5 |
Marvel movies are nothing but rollercoaster of cgi, offering good effects and great quality.
This particular flick choses different plan, trying to play unnecessary drama and unrealistic action scenes and it doesn't turn out well.
Far from home is the worst Spider-Man movie and one of the most boring marvel pictures ... | 2 |
The plot gets too muddled up by trying to be both relevant to modern audiences and true to its own lore, but the balance of action and the few light moments keep it enjoyable and well-paced. | 8 |
Just...no, just Please...no.
Like, do not do this again, like...ever. | 1 |
Poor under the aspect of the story, but good in audio effect and tension | 7 |
The first half was pretty enjoyable, fun, light, but it took itself too seriously by the second half. No longer allowing the talented cast, especially Gosling, to shine and make us laugh. It felt like the talents of Will Ferrell and Michael Cera were also somewhat underutilized. Interesting concept, had potential, but ... | 5 |
The basic idea of the film is OK but nothing inspiring or particularly original. The story itself is dull, predictable, tedious, just unnecessary. The acting is generally patronising and the script is cringeworthy. | 1 |
This is my all time most favourite movie! With my favourite actress Karen's kapoor which her acting is absolutely incredibly amazing in this! This is a fun, emosh, comedy love story! The songs is this movie are amazing all very catchy and great outfits in this movie, the dancing is also fab!
There's nothing in this mo... | 10 |
Based on the two episodes available, I can say that the show makes you want to know what is going on; it makes you curious. The balance between tension and comedy is absolutely genius. I'm looking forward to watching the next episodes. | 9 |
This show is supposedly 13 reasons why a girl killed herself, but really it's just 12 things she kind of disliked and 1 actual reason. And the 1 actual reason was also arguably her own fault. Without spoilers, she could have handled the big event differently to make it clear that she did not want it. Note that I am not... | 4 |
When you wait for something to happen or to make sense and 45 minutes went by, you give up. I turned it off after 50 minutes, there was no plot, no build-up, nothing to enjoy. Maybe the script was a total mess, it's hard to screw up so badly with actors and actresses so good.
To meet the review char requirement, I hav... | 2 |
Anyone who says this movie is good has no idea what a great movie is!
Slow, badly executed dialogue by a poorly-acted, clunky, cheesy cast and an overall bore.
Only positive was a few good fight scenes but not enough to hold any significant value.
It's really disappointing to think this is what people consider taste... | 2 |
I love the actors they picked, the story was so wonderful & rich & the underlying point against prejudice & how we all need each other & we are all connected was really beautiful & a powerful message. Great story, wonderful actors, lavish sets. So glad i watched. | 10 |
Shazam is a funny movie and is probably one of the better superhero movie. The Movie is about a 14 year old boy that is a foster child and he keeps on running away from his homes to look for his long lost mother. In his latest foster home he meets his new family they seem quite nice but he still wants to run away again... | 6 |
This movie(My Sassy Girl / Yeopgijeogin Geunyeo) was awesome.After i saw this i was speechless for sometime. I have seen several Korean,Chinese and Japanese movies but none of them were ever a love story or a romantic comedy.I have seen 1000s of romantic movies(both from Hollywood and Bollywood) but none of them come a... | 10 |

It definitely will take us back to the old era.Hritik Roshan was extra ordinary and Aish looked amazing. I was very much involved in the movie and never felt like I m watching Aish and Hritik.Hritik is the best choice for Akbar and Aish for Jodha.I haven't seen real Akbar but after seeing this movie, I have an what kin... | 10 |
After all the hype, I was a bit disappointed with this movie. I did not see it in the theater but rented it on pay per view. I really should have gone to RedBox instead of the $7 PPV fee. I did see Lincoln, Les Miz and Silver Linings Playbook in the theater and all three were IMO better movies than Argo. The acting lef... | 7 |
This movie was waste of time its one of those movies u wait to get better but it never does if anything the ending has u like wtf that's it...i love adam Sandler so didnt expect that at all | 2 |
Batman Begins is the latest film entry in the Warner Brothers Batman franchise that I've been looking forward to, even while my interest was marginally low as a Batman comic fan (I contemplated skipping the movie). I own Batman Black & White, Batman: A Death in the Family, et al and I enjoy reading the comics immensely... | 3 |
Woody Harrelson and Naomi Harris are having and blast, and are definitely the best parts of the movie, but they can't save what is a bad script.
Tom Hardy is fine, but nowhere near as good as he was in the first. He seems like he's already treading water with the character of Brock. | 4 |
I stopped watching after episode three. The pace and timeline is a mess, the casting is a joke.. (well i can agree Henry delivered better than i thought) I had my doubts about this series but gave it a try, but in the end it failed to hold my attention and I have no idea how people can praise the series so high and rat... | 4 |
Glass Onion is a clever, show-offy and stylish serious detective movie. With more action, this sequel is a worthy one. It's a Daniel Craig and Janelle Monáe killer detective flick. The camera work is mind-blowing, it's been a while that I have seen a fun detective ride that doesn't feed you too much because it is becom... | 9 |
While I enjoy Tim Burton "Batman" immensely, I cannot stand this one. What are the problems with "Batman Begins"? Well, I can name at least three ones. But what three!
Reality. How come they put Gotham City into the real world together with Rome and other true-to-life cities? It is simply laughable. In the Burton movi... | 3 |
The plot of this movie is great,but I do believe the production team could create more unbelievable ideas .After watching Kung Fu Panda 1,our audience might have gotten used to the plot and the team should do something to save its declining scores. | 9 |
This movie is just an emotional drama under the disguise of space venture/sci-fi. In fact the movie rarely cares about the limitations of physical capabilities in space. Doesn't deserve the academy awards for best movie and best direction. | 1 |
If I were to watch it without sound, just subtitles, I would sleep through it. There's no depth to the characters, and I couldn't connect with any. | 5 |
MY NAME IS KHAN is a rather long journey of a film - almost as long the journey depicted in the movie. At three hours in length it may lose some viewers, but for those who stay until the end, the message is larger than life and very important. Especially now, as the world grapples with multiple wars based on difference... | 10 |
It hasn't been funny. The story is moving at a snail's pace. No cool superhero stuff has happened yet. No cool villain has emerged yet. With the exception of episode 4, one could argue that all the episodes have almost been exactly the same.
Snooze fest so far. Zzzzzzvision | 1 |
Must give a try... Realistic and very motivational... Jeetu bhaiya and his wife dream couple... | 10 |
I just rewatched this show and it's just incredible. The characters, the story, and the depth of the topics it deals with is just amazing. It has everything you can wish for; well written, detailed characters that develop over time and become even better, an intriguing storyline that gets you hooked immediately, as wel... | 10 |
2/10 - this is that movie that everyone pretends to like to seem cultured and sophisticated, but is actually a total dud - it is devoid of any true meaningful plot, pacing, likable characters, or halfway decent writing | 2 |
I should have known this was going to be bad film when the opening seen was doctor with a scope up someones a** (Lower G.I.) No water-then slaps Adam. Bookies that have customers under surveillance because he owes them who knows how much because they never say. Enough. I can't believe this group of actors and director ... | 2 |
Such a shame. Was looking forward to enjoying this, psyched myself up for it , and low and behold. Not so great!
The positive is that for black culture it's a milestone movie , a true celebration of culture and tradition set in the marvel universe. For the rest of us just a little boring. Performances were good for th... | 4 |
This show is really amazing, kept me hooked from the start till the end, big appreciation to the director Anurag kashyap for breaking the stereo type of Indian show, it feels bold, brutal and real, let this be an example for Indian TV series, eagerly waiting for the second season, definitely recommended 👍👍👍.... | 8 |
High expectations based on media buzz and reviews. After seeing this, I really wonder who would like it. African Americans? Are they not very sensitive to stereotyping nowadays? I felt ashamed at times watching this and really wonder how it can have gained such high scores. | 4 |
Just the typical action movie, I couldn't get till the end | 2 |
I love the show but that unconnected knee-jerk of a "punch line" instantly took 5 stars away for me. It's completely unrelated and had nothing to do with their history or why they where attacking him. So disappointing, the end fight was already not going anywhere and then they spew this out of nowhere propaganda in the... | 5 |
Short, Sweet and Straight to the point. It's got pretty much all you want in a TV show. Characters are great, there is some depth in them and you start to feel for them, each one of them. The cinematography is astounding and put's you right in the feels along with the brilliant soundtrack. There is nothing bad I can sa... | 9 |
Great acting. Great characters. Would have been a fantastic plot to follow. But 15 minutes into the first episode I was hit with a hammer of pointless, irrelevant nudity. And the hammer didn't stop until I turned off the show. I know the rating was TV MA and was said to contain nudity but this was ridiculous and perver... | 4 |
Season 1 and 2 were great. The story, the characters everything was interesting and then came the season 3 with this out of place girl Ani who has nothing to do with Hannah or anyone else but the Bryce character. The show was about Hannah and her friends or what people did to her that led to "13 reasons" and this Ani g... | 1 |
You can guess how this review will go, if you have read any of the other reviews.
Season one and two were great. A lot of content that really wouldn't be acceptable any more, but doesn't stop it being funny.
Season three went off the rails a bit. It had a few unexpected turns, but it was still funny.
Season four and... | 7 |
I should know better than watching "Academy Award" movies as every time since the late 1970's they have been a disappointment. The trailers are better the movie normally but I should remember this before renting a movie. I love musicals good ones especially the ones that the professional movie critics hate. It seems we... | 1 |
There was a time when Only Shahrukh was a Superstar,But in recent years he was losing his stardom due to monotonous acting. This movie proves that why he has been a hotshot for a long time.To remain at the same position(King of Bollywood), this kind of acting is expected from Shahrukh by every movie viewer. Today's pub... | 10 |
What's up with the 10's? The 9's? The 8's? Is there a different version of this series that the highly paid critics watched? I expected better from Steve Martin. Was Selena forced on him? She. Has. No. Energy. Steve and Martin Short are dragging around a flat tire. What a waste of an idea. True crime podcasts are huge ... | 5 |
The Apatow group has come out with another comedy. While there were entertaining jokes throughout, I felt that this was nothing new. Just another romantic comedy about finding "the one." But there is one difference with this film... Male nudity, great, like anyone needs that. It's not funny it's just vile. I must admit... | 5 |
I suspect that the horribly acted protagonist isn't ENTIRELY Tobey's fault, but I don't believe for a second that he's not to blame. Consistently uncomfortable to watch. Also, MJ forgives way too much waaaaay too quickly. But hey, it's a comic book movie.
The effects are awesome; I watched this in 2020 and was still a... | 6 |

I can't say that I'm disappointed, though it was far from an enjoyable experience. I get the Oscar nominations, really I do. The acting was superb, especially by the male lead (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and o... | 4 |
This is by no means boring, but by no means 'essential' or intelligent or really worthwhile at all. It's a very fun watch, hence the 5 points out of 10 I will concede it. But yet it is void of any meaning whatsoever and benefits from a contemporary society that will erect any piece of meaningless junk into a grande pie... | 5 |
Watched last night with the hubby. It was a first view for the both of us and I was eager to watch what, I've been told by various folks over the years, is an iconic American film.
This snapshot of midwestern life from times gone by (from accent to clothing to location) bordered on cartoonish at times- some of it felt... | 8 |
Good morning, Good People!! Another review for ya! This past weekend I went to check out the latest entry into "The Conjuring" series, "Annabelle Comes Home"! Mind you, I have not seen every film in the series OR watched them in order! That being said, I can not speak on easter eggs that make connections to the other f... | 7 |
I was sceptical with a classic name like Sherlock Holmes being retold from a different angle. With bad press in the press on Millie Bobby Brown due to her sexualizing demeanour (not my words) I didn't think the casting was great. Henry cavill steals the film and perhaps a re telling of Sherlock with him at the helm alo... | 4 |
A good thriller after a long time... good one to watch... | 10 |
Okay soundtracks and the perfect actor for the main role. Too bad Cavill doesn't have anything worthy to work with.
The rest of the cast is no bueno, with rare exceptions, the writing is terrible, and there's no respect for the source material, which is plentiful. | 2 |
The whole premise of Intersteller is wacko. That we would need to leave the Solar System is faulty logic. NASA in 2005 proclaimed there is enough material in the Asteroid Belt to create habitat to equal 30,000 earths(that's 30,000 X 58 million sq mi(land mass)) and house hundreds of trillions of future humans in the Go... | 4 |
First thing first, stay away from the negative reviews! Don't let some people fool you into believing something else about this movie.
So, the film starts with a lady scolding her alcoholic husband who is asking for money ,and ends with...? Well you can't help but start applauding when it ends. Jhund is something that... | 10 |
I didn't know what to expect when I started this and I'm surprised that I liked it as much as I did. The acting is great and there's a lot of blood ofc. I did feel that some characters didn't get enough time to develop but most of them were good enough. Ben Barnes and his character were a standout.
It's a bummer it's ... | 7 |
I haven't read all the manga's, but from what I've read of the mangas and seen in the anime, this is one of the finest and truest conversions I've seen in a long time.
The show somehow creates a great sense of action without a ton of mecha and ninjas and also contains a lot of well crafted tension. This is an intellig... | 8 |
The Tension.. The Acting.. The Story.. The Presentation.. The Songs. Everything is Spectacular.
I was hooked for the entire length of the Movie. This is a Genuine Film which has a lot to Offer that the Indian Media is not very used to.

You'd be doing well if you managed to stay awake through the whole film. There was no life, no story, no interest, and no one to care about. I'm not stupid - I have a college degree with a minor in English, and I have a fair amount of experience analyzing fiction. I'm at a loss to explain how this movie came to garner ... | 1 |
Spider-Man 2 was simply amazing. Through the first 3/4 of the film I felt so bad for Peter Parker, and by the end I was so shocked. It was more than a worthy sequel...it was better than the first. If you are looking for a great film to see with the family, THIS IS IT!!! Spider-Man 2 is the greatest film I have personal... | 10 |
At times this was painful watching, but by the end of season 1 it finally seemed to find its feet.
The Good: As many other have said, the visuals of this show are gorgeous. The sets/costumes/effects are all top notch (although the alien planet could have perhaps been a bit more "alien"). The robot is cool, and its bac... | 6 |
I'm apparently in the minority of film goers in that I despise this film. Its simply one of the dullest, most predictable films I've seen in years, and yet people are falling all over themselves with praise for it. Which version did all these people see since it wasn't the one that played my local cinema.

This movie was stupid. Plain and simple. I want my 2 hours back. Don't waste your time. | 2 |
A solid sequel to my favorite superhero movie. While I have been unimpressed with most of the recent superhero movies (The Punisher, Hulk), the Spider-Man movies have continued to remain a step or two ahead of the pack. While not staying 100% true to the original comics, they don't stray too far. The production is top-... | 8 |
Hollywood, as usual, takes many liberties with the true story.

Marvels comes back but this time with too much unrelated stuff that made it difficult to grasp and understand. This was based on the fight among the avengers themselves out of misunderstanding but turns out to be a bitter clash. The fighting sequences and effects were obviously good but the storyline sucks.

I really hated this movie. Its astonishing that it scores so highly. I wont bother trying to convince you all I'm a normal rounded character but how other people of the same species as me, can actually take some enjoyment from this film is beyond me. Just plain boring. As disappointing as Gladiator was.
First of all J... | 2 |
I have no idea how the rating is so high, 5 episodes in and barely anything has happened. Apparently their budget is $20 million per episode, good luck trying to figure out where that has been spent. The characters are boring and uninteresting. Very little violence or nudity, absolutely nothing like GoT, especially not... | 3 |
We've had these kinds of series in India as well. Nothing new. The cast well let's not talk about that. Direction is pretty good also the screenplay. So yeah! | 4 |
Pay attention and then sit back and enjoy (much of season 1 is three different timelines before they begin to intersect). This is an awesome adaptation of the book. The storylines of Geralt and Yennifer are top notch. The storyline of Ciri can be slow at times, but I think it will be stronger in season 2. Yes, I said s... | 9 |
This is one of those movies which tries to look smarter than it actually is. It comes with a really good cast and a story with lots of potential but the conclusion of the film just ruins all of it. The first hour is good, entertaining. It has action, suspense, it defies logic sometimes... all good stuff. But it is with... | 6 |
The first hour of the movie feels like a DC movie trying to pull off Deadpool but with a family friendly Disney feel and rating to it. The movie took way too long to get going, felt boring and the humor was trying too hard. I almost shut it off.
But the 2nd hour really is where it gets so much better. Mark Strong is a... | 6 |
The first two episode were ready good and did a great job of setting up the world, but then started to go down hill. There were several flash back episodes which really didn't help with the story line or pacing of the show.
