As someone who played with the dolls growin up,the in-jokes and references to some rare Barbie variations and playsets are funny. The political message gives Barbie a new dimension I never thought would go to. I felt a hidden anti-war message in it actually which is deep for a toy I never thought would be taken that se...

I don't know if it was the hype that got my expectations too high or the fact that the mystery whodunit genre is something I love but this movie just didn't deliver as expected. I kept waiting for the movie to pull me in but it just never did. The actors were decent so it wasn't really an acting issue. Overall I felt ...

The shortcomings of 'The Witcher' are staggeringly abundant, making for an overall underwhelming experience. If not for Cavill's commanding presence, my rating for the series would plummet to a meager 3 out of 10. The question that arises then is, where does one begin the dissection? The narrative construction continu...

I had read so many reviews giving average or below average ratings, that I honestly thought this movie would be a bummer. NOT SO... The good: excellent direction with subtle and gorgeous photography. And a terrific sound score by the magnificent James Newton Howard. More good: wonderfully balanced editing, almost like...

I really wish I could appreciate it for what it is, a demonstration of cutting edge CGI, but I just couldn't this time. The novelty factor carried the first movie but the sequel unfortunately doesn't share the same advantage. Since the prequel had some very obvious flaws that were unanimously agreed upon, it is very c...

a marvelous job sir vijay..wat a a film screenplay and direction... the film end depict that director has really did research to bring a awesome end......wat a master piece. though by all Indian website reviews it was not regarded a good film so i prepared myself that this film was a flop so would not be good but as mo...

I just finished watching this and while it's not the worst war movie ever made it's not the best either. The novel thing about this movie is the non-stop linear action. It's a style that's rarely been done before and in this movie they make it work. Most of the movie is suspense, muck, mud, mire and fear and this movie...

Don't get me wrong James Cameron is one of my favorite directors for sure but comes to this movie Avater, honestly if you grow up in in Japan everybody knows this is copied Japanese famous masterpiece 20, 30 yrs ago by ghiburi studio Hayao Miyazaki!! The title is *Nauciaa of valley of the wind!!!! Exact copy!!!!! The ...

The movie is fine. If you are an American. The only nation mentioned beyond the numerous US flags abroad was India.. People would think USA really believes they are the world and not actually using Russian rocket engines currently. Get real, I've got the message in the film, however, it was so lame to do it like that...

I started episode 3 today and shut it off. Nothing in this is original. I'm a Marvel fan. However, from what they've released so far, I feel confident saying, Stan Lee would have rejected a cameo role. Perhaps if they released the entire series at once it would make more sense. This is like receiving two pages of a com...

A confusing mishmash of poorly connected events without rhymme or reason. Visually interesting but a complete waste of time where nothing makes sense and you're left guessing as to who did what and why. Maybe that's how you're supposed to feel.

I will suggest its much more worthy to watch "The Jungle Book", if you are planning to watch movie this weekend. "FAN" is worst movie. I am regretting now after watching "FAN". Being a shah rukh khan FAN, I booked for 1st day show. but really disappointed. Really same crap like Happy new year, Dilwale. Now standard of...

When i was a kid, there were those Japanese shows with costumed heroes who were fighting very seriously villains in real cities. With this choice of putting Batman in the same vision, i reached the same conclusion: it's unbelievable and funny. This Batman seems totally tiny in a huge Gotham, all the more than he does n...

I rented this movie to see Heath Ledger's Oscar-winning performance. I endured about an hour of this dreck, and, finding nothing compelling in Ledger's work (or anyone else's), turned it off before my mind turned to jelly. Admittedly, the film is well-produced, if somewhat dark and foreboding. I would have continued wa...

Thoght this was drama show instead we got scifi. In episode 1 Swat leader going first with the kevlar shield and its a women with full makeup ..... also a sniper women and a bomb defuser/ negotiator a women. Wtf happend in minds of people filming this. Dont they know that maybe someone who do this for loving will watch...

Personally I think it's a tiny bit overrated. Don't get me wrong, I really liked it but sometimes I just don't understand IMBD users. A show like this usually gets 5 out of 10 because it was predictable and the acting was bitter sweet (meaning some actors were astonishing and others awful). But it's still a very good s...

Im not even half way through the 1st episode and Im digging it already. Its full of surprises and far from boring! Must see TV

First, I'll say I am a big fan of Loki in the MCU. His character is perfectly cast and absolutely delightful any time he's on screen. Then came the Disney series... It's so bad, the only reason I think it wasn't cancelled out of the gate is they probably had all of the episodes completed before release. The plot is b...
1
This movie is sooooo boring. Great effects? YES. Stunning cinematography? YES! Good performances? For the most part. But where did this film fail? The virtually nonexistent plot. This is really not a film. It is a commercial for more Fantastic Beast movies.
3
The main character acting was horrible and the romance between Diana and Matthew was developed too fast. Also the dialogues and the animations were extremely awful.
2
Proud to watch this great movie. Giving a face to our brave heroes whom we will not know ever in real life.

The first episode is promising, but it gets more and more monotonous with old jokes and scenes. I love Steve Martin, but Selena Gomez and Martin Short are totally the wrong actors for this series, Steve has that subtle black humor (when he wants to) and maybe a better counterpart would be Hugh Laurie instead of the sli...

I was really excited for the concept of a Marvel Movie directed by Sam Raimi, I'm still waiting for that to happen eventually because this movie is not it. Raimi's creative vision is bogged down by Marvel's generic, formulaic, and derivative cinematography, resulting in a jarring clash of visuals that borderlines on me...

Was well disappointed with this. I liked bits of it but I am finding difficulty recalling them.
3
Quite simply this film was an insult to the men and women who lost their lives in world war 2. Their is no scale and no emotion. I was expecting saving private Ryan but got little more than a home made art house school project.

Part 1 review: I don't say this lightly, but I think this might be (part 1 of) the best crime epic of the 21st century so far. When you look at the best gangster movies of the 20th century, it's not far behind those either (The Godfather, Goodfellas, Once Upon A Time in America etc). It feels influenced by some Ameri...

Not for me. It started off good then when the actual film starts as I say it went down hill I thought it was stupid a bunch of magicians pulling off bank heists completely ridiculous different but ridiculous. Definitely not watching the sequal not after that. I don't know why it's got such a high score on this site are...

I don't know if the book that the series (?) is based on is a young adult novel, but it feels like I just watched a Stephanie Meyers novel adaptation. An adaptation that's better than the others, but still. "Pretty Caucasian girl who deals with boys, sexism, drug addiction (for a few seconds), and more boys." She als...

Plot, story and even the events are taken from it with some changes to fool the audience. Such a shameless stealing.

This film is a fictional account about the hostage crisis in Iran in 1979-1980 in which several Americans were held captive while six of them were hidden in the Canadian Embassy before eventually escaping. Director Ben Affleck also plays the main character Tony Mendez, a CIA agent who arrives in Tehran under a differen...

Please dont give a 10 just because it was very simple and easy to understand, this shows that people like all that has a easy idea

I went in with no explanation at all and did not watch any trailer or teaser or read any posts about it. What I experienced is a long movie with very shallow humor and a story that was outright boring. Having watched the older Spiderman movies before its basically the same formula over and over again, particularly this...

What a Overhyped and overrated series! Absolute worst and childish acting. They added love story in this also ! And it's terrible unrealistic. Boring series don't waste your time.
1
A completely waste of my time and money wait for the BLU-RAY. I really wish I could get my money back,not a single serious scene in the whole movie. A complete rewrite and let down for any one that knows the 20 year old story. I swear why don't Marvel just make up new names for the characters if there just gonna comple...

Absolutely loved it! This series is not getting the accolades it deserves. It is so poetic and beautifully shot. The story, acting, pace, dialogues everything so so good. Thank you to the director and writer. :)

Kind of interesting movie but the characters and progression of the story were pretty typical of any doom and gloom movie. What really killed it for me was the boat journey and the children surviving the rapids run. Really, who puts 5 year old's in a small boat without a lifejacket? That's not just taking creative libe...

Wow, did anyone see the "Happening ".. or perhaps the "Rain" , a Swedish episodic event.. these both had something that "Birdbox" doesn't have.. a believable reason for these anomalous events. This story is idiotic and so unbelievable that it was painful to watch .. so if you have a "brainbox " then take out your brain...

Enjoyed the previous seasons a lot but this 2017 4th season has strained trying to outdo itself and has reached a point of ridiculousness that has left me impatient and constantly punctures the suspension of disbelief it takes for the audience to go with the story. There's little consistency shown in the surprise chara...

I get what they were trying to achieve. As the mother of 2 daughters, as a Mum you try to be everything, everywhere, all at once. Just missed the mark. By a few universe. Jumps around so much it's hard to keep up. No idea what the hot dog fingers are all about. Seemed a bit of a stretch. Cinema-photography was good...

Everyone is talking about Ortega (Wednesday Adams) and Tim Burton and sure, they deserve a lot of the credit but the truth is, the script is really well-written and the lines and storyline unravel flawless. It's pure entertainment, but don't let that stop you. The bleak view of Wednesday is just the perfect cynical v...

If a movie has ground breaking special effects then so what, who cares. If you want that then jump go jump on a roll a coaster and leave your mind in candy floss machine. Gravity is just that 'candy floss' and equally as vacuous and unnutritious. Junk food in space with extra cheese in the form of 'in the womb' metapho...

If you're going into this movie looking for a better version of the "American Pie" trilogy, stop right here. "Superbad" is not going to give it to you. Seth Rogen is one of the most overrated people in Hollywood and he can't really write. Thanks to Judd Apatow (a somewhat mediocre director/producer) and The Apatow Comp...

Waititi's affably silly fictional nazi fable is seriously fun and has bags of charm, but drags towards the end a little and strains credulity often. The king of tonal whiplash is in riotous form here and hops from dark place to silly japes like some sort of mad rabbit. Tonally it sits somewhere between Son of Rambow an...
7
Having never read the comics but having watched plenty of TV over the years I am qualified to say this is very very slow. Lots of people commenting on here are way into the comic book stuff and thats great for them, but as a TV show in its own right this is just plain old dull.
3
A very good adaptation, good story, characters and elegantly put together. Recommended.
8
Viewing this movie is like watching paint dry and no matter what good features it has the film is mostly boring and tedious. For all sorts of political and other reasons "the media" et al have decided to laud this picture as some kind of masterpiece; I respectfully but strongly disagree. And it is insulting to black p...
2
While I usually don't like it when media focuses on politics I actually enjoyed this show. Most of the characters were good, the action is great, and the comedy works. The politics are handled with grace and they don't ruin the immersion. I think that you should give this show a chance.
8
This movie is the funniest movie I have seen in well, a long time. I laughed harder at this than I did old school, 40-year old virgin, or any of those. I am not usually a fan of movies with that type of humor, but this was really funny. I highly recommend this movie - a lot of swearing and it is a bit crude, but otherw...

I am really enjoying this side of Marvel. But you've got to give it a chance. Don't judge it based off 1 or 2 episodes. There is a lot of room for this to grow... endless possibilities, so watch and enjoy the different twists and turns the MCU could have taken.
8
I am giving it a 7 for the animation and tracks. But it was rushed too much and a lot of story has been skipped some of which was very interesting. So, I would recommend reading the webtoon if you still haven't watched it, then you can decide for yourself if you would like to watch it or not.
7
The anime series I had watched before this one, Ano Hana, was a solid show but definitely didn't make me fall in love with anime. It had some clichés, some horrific plot holes and overall just didn't blow me away like all my friends said it would. This show, Death Note, was what got me into anime. I'd recommend you go ...
9
It's been some time since I've seen an anime that I enjoyed so much. Especially when I thought I was done with the genre because of the repeating themes and motifs. Steins;Gate is a cleverly written anime revolving around Okabe Rintarou aka the self proclaimed mad scientist Hououin Kyouma and his meddling with time. I...
9
I'm going to say that this is definitely aimed at being a "family show", but at the same time, coming from someone who highly enjoys Tarantino movies, there are scenes that feel a bit intense for younger viewers that this seems to be aimed at. Things like broken bones, being frozen in a block of ice but still alive and...
3
Movies are a condensed version of real life; this movie is real life itself. As such it is mostly mundane and boring. It is like watching a live-stream of somebody as he or she journeys through the streets of New York in order deliver some bagels to grandma. Although the camera work and filming are amazing! Top notch! ...

You just can't keep a billion dollar franchise down. After a five year hiatus, the wizarding world is back. But not all back. For better or for worse, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is sans Potter and Co. The franchise has escaped the literary series that defined a generation and now we fans are off the map. ...
6
I'm playing the game Witcher. The series has almost the same vibe. Great show and It's a shame that season one only has 8 episodes.
8
Stopped watching at season 2 episode 7 and can't see how this show is so popular? It's not funny! Phil Dunphy is the best character but the others are poor.
4
Loving this show from amazon though have only watched 1st episode so far, Tenn ant and Sheen are such a double act. Sheen as usual is wonderful. Is he the most versatile actor around ? seems he turn his hand to any character. The setting is pretty good and the stains two henchmen are worth watching but really this is a...

After hearing a lot of hype over this film I decided that it was time I sit down and watch it, and after seeing this piece of work I must post the question that I feel is obvious. What makes this movies stand out as a cinematic masterpiece? If someone could enlighten me as to why please do. There were no real dynamic c...

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (TFATWS) is the next in Marvel Disney+ TV shows. While the previous show, WandaVision, did something new with the Superhero genre, TFATWS aims to bring the Captain America movie style to a TV show format. The premise is "Six months after being handed the mantle of Captain America at th...

80's Nostalgia. Great SFX. What else does it have? The plot is boring and meaningless. Kids saving the Earth, not once, but multiple times!!!!!!! Girl waves hand - monster die - woowwow! OMG IM SO ENTERTAINED. The actors overact in absolutely every scene making it a cringe, normie, children's drama. If you are gonna pu...

Chain smoking, seriously? This make me feel physically sick = unwatchable.

"Barbie the movie" left me disappointed and unimpressed. The storyline felt overly simplistic, lacking depth and originality. The dialogue was clichéd, often predictable, and failed to engage the audience. The characters seemed one-dimensional, and their development was superficial at best. The animation, touted as a h...

Another fluff piece from the Netflix stable. Whilst it is enjoyable, has good acting with a great central conceit and a solid plotline it is however one film that by all standards of reality should never have had a happy ending.
7
I'm struggling to understand the consensus that this show is so authentic and credible when these major Russian figures are depicted by British and Swedish actors, speaking English, but inexplicably reading Russian documents. That really undermines the integrity of it as a historical narrative. The first episode is pre...

The main reason's i saw this film is because i like the director and this was the last movie before infinity war so when i saw it this movie felt longer than infinity war it felt like i was there for a whole day the jokes are terrible the script is weak the acting is fine but 70 percent of the cgi was terrible it like ...

I agree with other reviewers to not expect much from Netflix movies. The original Knives Out had clever dialogue, entertaining characters, and an original plot. It was a subtle drama/suspense/black comedy. Saw it twice and enjoyed it just as much the second time. Glass Onion was superficial and all the magic was lost. ...
3
Venom: Let There Be Carnage is basically more the of the same, so fans of the original will enjoy but the rest of us will have to endure another campy interpretation of Spidey's most threatening foe.
5
Netflix did it again! Is the movie perfect? No. Is the movie entertaining? Yes. If the goal of this motion picture is to capture my attention for 2 hours without checking my phone then mission accomplished. I was more engaged on this one than with the 2019 bit. I liked the short haired blond lady's style. 70s Eur...

It's just an nice picture with better climax,the film isn't lagging, good one better to watch with family or friends..alpha
7
I loved the concept of the story. The first half an hour was a complete waste of time. One main problem is the weak attempts at humour that destroyed most of the story. Unlike many films the conclusion picked up a bit but did not redeem what was mostly a waste of time. The acting seemed wooden. They would deliver a lin...

This show highlights the difference in taste. So many fantastic reviews but it was not for me, in fact my wife and I had to turn off just before the end of the first episode. Really tried to get what they were trying to do but thought it was drivel. Not at all funny or entertaining. Takes all sorts I suppose
1
Most negative reviews are about 'feminism' being unrealistic for this period drama, forgetting that the film takes place during the suffragette era. That being said, the characters are practically unrecognisable for anyone who knows anything about Sherlock Holmes. Henry Cavill is terribly miscast, giving a sympathetic...

The Kung Fu and choreography coupled with beautiful sets and fairly decent acting make for a pretty good movie. I really have to stop and admire just how well this movie turns out, when all is said and done. Ip Man is very revered in China, so his almost super hero ability to say and do no wrong (except not spending en...

As i said, i don't think it was as fascinating as Harry Potter series. Fantastic beasts were adorable.
6
Yeah, I don't know. I just don't like Captain America. But at least this was better than the first Captain America movie. I presume that's because Natasha featured more in this movie. As always, Marvel movies remain predictable - though I almost bought that Nick Fury would be dead. But he isn't. Who would have thought...
7
I give it four stars since in the middle of the movie I was already getting bored, but if it manages to entertain a while.

Netflix do it AGAIN, another cracking movie to add to there ever growing list of must watch films. Sandra Bullock rarely makes a bad film so when I see this pop up on Netflix I was intrigued so I watched the trailer and within seconds I was hooked. This is a great film with an intense story line I love the way the st...

Wow, how disappointing this is. All the hype with the participation trophy at Oscar's, but none of that materializes as you give it your best to watch this. At first, you think it's a complete garbage, why are you wasting your time. So you persists because it was hyped up, there's got to be some reason. Soon you get i...

...to be Buzz Killington here and i really had high expectations for this one, but it was mediocre at best. Bacon was not good, Hodge was not good, their performances were too on the nose...Actually, the best thing was Kevin Chapman and the last few minutes. I gave this rating for the Boston setting and the effort. Rea...

I really like Tim Burton, really like the Addams Family, so I definitely was looking forward to this show. The start is great. Most of the characters are intriguing, there's enough happening and the school feels very much alive. After a couple episodes it changes; the whodunnit-plot leaves the school largely behind, ...

American Fiction is on my top 10 list of best films from 2023! Jeffrey Wright knocks it out of the park here. American Fiction is a 2023 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Cord Jefferson, in his feature directorial debut. Based on the 2001 novel Erasure by Percival Everett, it follows a frustrated novel...

This movie was everything that was expected of it. It was funny, feministic, cute, beautiful and everything plastic. It was probably expected by many that the movie would be very superficial and focus more on the fun side of barbie, but it surprised us. This movie took a deep dive into what it is to be a girl and a wom...

I really wanted to like these new black mirror episodes but they were simply not it. The only good thing about this season was Aaron Paul who is simply a baller in everything he is in. Other than that, these episodes are a waste of time and no where near the true original black mirror episodes. It's like they locked th...

The first "Spider-man" was kind of slow and boring. I was hoping "Spider-man 2" wouldn't be. And it wasn't. The action was much better, the dialogue wasn't as cheesy, the plot and villian were better, and I liked the ending better. Go see this except a non-stop, edge-of-your-seat adventure, filled with action, drama, r...

Martial arts and comedy rarely go together, unless you're laughing at a Steven Seagal movie. Only Jackie Chan seems able to get the mix right and to be frank, most Chan movies are fairly similar anyway. But now, there is a new judo-chopping comedian on the scene - Stephen Chow. Having given us a taster of his films wit...

Take the Avengers. I'm not even 40 minutes in, and I'm already bored. The overreliance on CGI makes everything the actors do feel forced and fake. I hate Robert Downey JR but like him I am also on drugs and am spanking mine poon irlz, whilst sobbing.
4
In the beginning of the film the chemical love between Brad and Gaga pops of the screen. But from the moment Gaga steps into The Star it's like you watch the summary of too much material of filming or ten episodes of a soap drama serie. Very fast timelapses and shortened scenery seem to hide something maybe just by usi...

I said when the first Avatar came out, its's Dancing with Blue Wolves. This go ahead is just awful. I love how Jake Skully, not to the other Navi, but in his narration call the humans Sky People. He is a sky people, it just sounds like forced going native. Its like every other story of its kind. Just better CGI. But th...

I don't recall how I got introduced to this series on NetFlix. If I recall correctly, a friend recommended it after my wife and I lamented that we were finished with our current binge, waiting for Games of Thrones to come back, and wanting to watch a new series. Spoiler: I read the book after watching the series. The ...

Too ridiculous, unrealistic car scenes, poor man's action film and I'm guessing the Americans will save the day even though they cause most of the world's problems

None of the films in the Conjuring series relied on the stupid mistakes of their characters to start the plot. The scripts and characters were always very well developed, so there were no meaningless acts that made you cringe. This one however is full of teenagers acting dumb and dumber as the "story" progresses. It's ...

Spiderman is indeed far from home. The whole idea of spiderman is his deep feeling of moral and care for other people while also having superpowers that can cause problems for people while trying to do the right thing. This interpretation of spiderman did not capture that complexity of character. It's basically a cheap...

This is another one of those films that I've heard so much about for years, people telling me that it is a masterpiece and one of the greatest character studies of all time in film. I simply cannot understand how people think that, the film has no redeeming quality about it and there is no drive to watch this movie a ...

The first season is absolutely brilliant for me, season 2 is fine, still good. Season 3? Netflix you are so much than this, I still love the show but this series really should end, you don't need to force to make another season just because for the hit rate, there's so many other way to keep your audience but not by ru...

It looked sooo promising - a Tarantino flick, Brad Pitt, DiCaprio, Pacino etc. etc. The execution, acting, cinematography was flawless. However, everything else - from the depth of character personalities, interactions between characters, the story line... was flat out boring, unimaginative and sterile. The amore du jo...

I was very disappointed by Black Mirror Series 1 & 2, save for S1E3 - the only instalment NOT written by Charlie Brooker (instead penned by Jesse Armstrong of 'Peep Show' fame), 'The Entire History of You', which on its own is an excellent drama. I went away from this series with one conclusion; Charlie Brooker cannot...

An excellent season 1 followed by an abysmal season 2 and a fun but not great season 3. Anti Russian propoganda spread at the expense of quality. This cycle made this would-be original to a has-been clichè. Shouldve changed the show rhetoric atleast after reaching the third season , but dont fix what ain't broke eh? A ...

Being a giant Marvel fan I was eagerly waiting for wandavision and I can admit the first 2-3 episodes were not good but that's what building the plot is called. The fourth episode was just amazing when I saw it and it explained everything so far in a great way and linked everything up which was amazing. People who are ...
