Characters too fake and their problems too insignificant

The animation and scenery was very beautiful! Still a little work needed there when it comes to expression. Even real lions have more expression I think then these. You don't have to over so it to make it look cheesy.. just a little more would have made a difference.
The main reason I give this a low eating is due to the vocal acting. It fell totally flat. No emotion at all. They were monotone and there were no natural pauses when there should have been. The original still blows this one out of the water. The magic was not there like the original.

This movie is without a doubt drawn out and overly exaggerated. I haven't read the books, but I can't believe that JK Rowlings would have written hundreds of pages of boring material with nothing happening. This movie lacks interest and could have been edited down to one hour of screen time for an extended version of both deathly hollows as one movie. I'm not impressed one bit by this 2.5 hour snore.

Entire script was built around one kid screwing things up and everybody else fixing/dealing with the mess he's caused. Will Robinson is a riddiculous and non-relatable character who pushes this horrible makeshift story shrough 10 episodes.
Story is silly beyond comprehension: Example - whole expedition comprises of skilled, trainined and inteligent people byt when fuel talker get a hole on one side, instead of turning it the way so the hole us on the top, everybody just stand there and watch fuel spils !
Netflix keeps creating dozens of nes series but forgets that quality matter too !

Coincidence and luck tend to work in fast-moving terrestrial action films where the event is at least plausible and the action moves on before your logic can gainsay it. But in the vastness of space, not even one long-shot is reasonable, let alone a sequence of them. In space, if something has to pass by something else at a distance of a few metres or hit it by luck, then it isn't going to happen even once. Yet this film's plot is constructed from little more than impossible coincidences whose only purposes are first to threaten and thereafter keep the lead actress alive. Better she get killed off early and move on with something more believable like aliens running windows-compatible software a la Independence Day.

Forgettable characters.
Forgettable acting.
Forgettable writing.
Forgettable storyline.
This is NOT even close to the quality of Game of Thrones.
5 minutes after watching an episode i can barely tell you what happened.
If you are a fan of Game of Thrones i cant see how you wont be very disappointed in this series.
OMG now i have to come up with a bunch more words to satisfy some arbitrary and unnecessary 600 character quota on reviews.
The dragons seem nice. I would like to have one but my condo has a strict No Dragons policy.
And now i am close to the end of this review and i rejoice.

Every storyline in Season 3 feels like it was written by cable news editors. Frequent scenes of intense gore are used to trick the viewer to thinking they are watching an action narrative, but it becomes painfully obvious around episode 3 that the show is a vessel for pushing political ideology.

TL;DR watch after you read books.
Then again, there are plenty who hate the show for not being aligned with books....
I loved Witcher 3 game, did not read books.
I am also pretty old by some standards (47) so I know my way around stuff.
The series, it's all dandy, the looks, the characters, the fights, the monsters, HC is great etc. But goddamn this politics chatter, it's ALL about that constant drivel that drives me mad. It's worse than in the real life - in RL I know the players - in Witcher, they are just names. You haven't read the books? You are about to be confused. King this, queen that, mages of interest, Elves, witches, everybody has an agenda - but nothing is explained, you are expected to know your bearings.
You seen The Crown on Netflix? It's like that, but The Crown actually bothers to get you to know what it's all about and who all those kings and princesses are. Remember the Vikings? Oh they took their sweet time to make sure you knew who's who. The Whitcher - not really. And since politics is like 75% of the show, it's like one fight then yadda-yadda-yadda + maybe another fight kind of show to me, not understanding anyone's agendas or goals. Really, too much talking about things that most people would not understand without being intimate with the books.
Such a shame, since the show itself feels and looks great.

The story is straightforward: a witch who cannot control her powers mysteriously opens the book, Ashmole 782, a book with secrets that had been lost for centuries. Afterwards, the norm starts to change. The setting is beautiful. And the story beautifully unfolds. It is certainly not a halloween party of witches, vampires and demons. Instead, it elegantly introduces all three species in a stunning narrative. Keeps me waiting impatiently for more. To those who love fantasy, this is a must!

I hadn't played any game nor read the books when I first watched season 1. I got hooked and while waiting for the second season read all the books.
Well, now season two is out, and unfortunately a huge disappointment. First off, in the second season most characters complain and whine throughout. Moreover, the entire season feels like an ideological piece, where the director decided the protagonists should behave as the stereotypical "good people" always present in American productions. Lost is the witty, dark and soulful feeling present in season 1 and the books. What is left feels messy. One reason is that the witcher himself gets less screen time, as fringe characters like Fringella, Fransesca and Istredd instead have more space for novel storylines.

I like this film (acting, cinematography, costumes, makeup, and effects), but the script sucks eggs. Why? Because James Gunn thinks he can write. Direct, yes, and very well; But write, definitely not. In preproduction Gunn took the script out of the hands of better qualified writers and screwed it up. He is not qualified to write like Lucas, Spielberg, or Besson, but he thinks he is and, unfortunately, so did the ignorant producers. Continuity between scenes and even (cartoon/comic book) science was completely screwed up.
I rated this at just 4 because of the horrible script Gunn stuck his fingers into. It could have been better if he had just stayed behind the camera.

Waititi's humor, imposibly stupid and overacted/overdone, fails the 1/3 (just to say a number) of the movie that has honestly good dramatic scenes, that would've worked perfectly if not surrounded by so many jokes so lame, that ruins everything else.
It's not a parody like ""What we do in the Shadows"", but it's not a ""feel good drama"" completely, nor particularly smart, save for a handful of lines or ideas here and there. But if you laugh with Waititi's humor, then you would of course like it, I guess.

If one can see one thing in today's times, it is that people tend to exaggerate. Something is either terrible or brilliant.
The same applies here. The fanboys (and girls) cheer the realization of an epic computer game as if this production would redefine the genre.
There are no innovations to be seen here. Of course, the effects and production design are very good and true to the original. The story is told in an exciting way. But you have to make compromises when it comes to the cast. For the role of Joel, I couldn't think of anyone better than Pedro Pascal, chapeau! But Ellie? Sorry, Bella Ramsey just doesn't fit at all to portray this ambiguous personality, on the one hand tender and on the other brave and self-sacrificing. She's more like the elephant in the china shop!
After two episodes, it is of course too early to give a final rating of a series. In this respect, we are eagerly awaiting what THE LAST OF US will offer us in terms of (hopefully) enjoyable entertainment!

With the Disney+ shows I expected a lot more action and cool scenes with the character we didn't get enough of in the other movies. What I didn't expect (even though I should've) is to get some emotional character arcs. We truly understand who Sam and Bucky are now, and I love that. The show started off a little slow but ended on a high note, and they managed to do it without getting too preachy (which I know was a fear for some). On to the next!

After seeing this movie in the theatres, this film, while bright and playful tries to convey a message about equality that is missing a lot of nuance. The marketing caused it to be seen by many children who may begin to see the world in this black and white vision (blasted with pink). I think the writers could have done a much better job of presenting their theme without pandering. The performances of all of the actors were great especially Michael Cera which came as a surprise as it was a slight departure from his usual characters. I wouldn't seek out this movie to watch it again but I am glad that I watched it from a cultural standpoint.

If this is a piece of art, then I am not ashamed to say that I didn't get it. I saw a long boring movie with some good acting but nothing else. I honestly believe that many people with good reviews are like the people standing in front of paintings that mean nothing and start forcing meanings over them. I love Steven Spielberg. But this is just a bad movie. I don't know what else to say to fill the 600 words. The movies quality dropped significantly since 2020 but movies reviews are getting higher. This is strange. These days the minimum score that a movie should have on IMDB to be considered a possibly good movie (for me) is 7, and 10 if it is a Bollywood movie. But now I believe no number is safe.

I really loved this, and I wasn't sure I wanted to watch it after the first was a bit disappointing to me. I loved this one much better. I can't believe how some actually said this is slow moving.
One of the things I like about it is it hits the ground running, and straight away I thought this looks like it's going to be good. I was right! I think this had a much better mystery with lots of twists and shocks, with the first one being quite ultimately predictable, but this one is what you want from a murder mystery! Plus so funny too.
The cast and their characters were great. This was always the perfect role for Daniel Craig, because he's always looked like an old withered detective to me, and hated him as Bond.

Daredevil may be the most brave superhero series we ever got Seeing a Superhero not fighting with external foes, but fighting his internal demons Such a missery that netflix cancelled such a banger.

The first season of this series was ok - especially Steve Martin's character and comic work. The later stuff has started to meander and is not very entertaining at all.
Why is it that series producers feel compelled to milk every last drop out of an idea, rather than leave on a high and sail away gracefully.
I suppose the real problem is that the streaming services are calling out for more and more product. To heck with the quality. That is very unfortunate for viewers and in my mind it is embarrassing for experienced entertainers like Steve Martin.
Overall, not really watchable any more. Sadly.

Season 2 is a perfect example of Netflix putting in the bare minimum of effort. It's not about producing a good show, it's about producing something people will click on when they see it in the feed. And when people stop watching after Season 2, they'll just throw out another 10 mediocre shows in the hope that something sticks. It's a shame, really.
I actually liked Season 1, but Season 2 was pretty dissappointing. It's not the worst show, but far from good. The basic story is actually not bad. Where it falls flat is in the details of writing and directing and in the overall production value. It feels rushed, sloppy and cheap. I can't stop to think, that another few months of polishing the writing, a bit more money and time for the actual filming and post production, would have elevated it from "meh" to a really good show.

Great series, fun for a simple watch.
I do like that except for the one politically motivated scene(which is honestly pretty good nowadays), there is just that, a good movie. Pretty good concept too.
The above mentioned scene was toned down to a simple "im a superhero, and im a women", which isnt too bad such as black panther, in which the latter half of the movie turns into some kind of blackmatter movement video, than about superheroes fighting a villan, or more similarily eternals, which has to verbally communicate those ideals into a movie, like an abrut advertisement in a good youtube video.
Still, it was pretty good, but in hindsight lacked a bit of the fighting, and was more of a pshycological/finding inner peace type of movie. So yea.

The series would had been better in execution
The content is a old one what we use to see in Hindi cinema's like mr india krishh koi mil Gaya etc where a miracle happens with a person and is blessed by super powers here it was the same but the making was very immature as very general method of betting was used to become midnight rich by using super powers there were so many aspects they could had used..after a time the series was revolving on the same subject
The language and areas shown in some episodes are too slang to hear and see which gives a disgrace feeling ...the pace of the series is good with small 6 episodes
The climax was a normal one where any one easily predict what is going to the end
It's a delight for bhuvan fans as he has acted really well.

This show has become rather hysterical and lacks the salient social/technological insight it used to offer.
It's basically a giant mess now. Sure, the acting is still good enough but there everything seems over the top. This pilot episode - National Anthem - was a fully extreme episode but it was well-crafted and resonated with something deeply flawed at the core of modern life. I'm comparison to that episode, season 6 is predictable, hysterical and, to be honest, the season feels lazy.
That's all I have to say. Simply running up the character count now. Meow meow meow woof laser hands. Pew pew.

Looking at the first 3 million reviews on here you would be forgiven for thinking that this film is the best film that has ever, and will be made - well it isn't and I suspect that political standings have had something to do with this. The film is ok but visuals and metal soundtrack not to my taste. One other thing that spoils things in a massive way..... why is Spider-Man, Superman, Hulk etc special??? ..that's right, because there is only 1 of them. As a true Spider-Man fan, I wish the creators of this movie would disappear back into the dimensions from which they came.

It was not nice to see a third iteration of the original Shaft after the second one, particularly since the plot and dialogue is in no way representative of the original. Richard Roundtree's Shaft with the creative team of Silliphant and Parks, cuts a very sharp edge and lets the action speak for itself with a stellar soundtrack. This version merely puts "Shaft Jr." in your face and delivers a canned action movie experience. Just because a movie is "non PC" doesn't make it an instant classic like Trumpians here have stated. The original was extremely "non PC" but of course those who are hell bent on pushing a Trumpian agenda ignore that and use reviews to bash everyone which has absolutely nothing to do with the film. Now all of this makes me appreciate the Shaft Trilogy of the 70s FAR more. There are just no Richard Roundtree, Moses Gunn or Frank Findlay performances out there anymore...

My one-line summary says it all.
Whenever the scene was outdoors in Tokyo, I was riveted. I wish the film were like Koyaanisqatsi, and just showed people moving about the city accompanied by awe-inspiring music. But it wasn't. And it's fun to see Bill Murray amble about desolutely. But only up to a point. There was only one plot of any substance--the storyline between the girl and the actor--and that plot moved incrementally. The movie unspooled painlessly for the tiny audience watching it on a Saturday night in a midtown movie theater, but somehow one wanted more. The big shock for me is that it was so highly rated by IMDB voters--either there is vote-rigging going on, or I'm missing something profound. And I don't think I'm missing anything profound.
So, Ms. Coppola and her Hollywood buddies went off to Tokyo, drank a lot, and pondered the meaning of life, and tried to figure out who they really are. I think that's what happened. One of the buddies was a good cinematographer, although a bit unsteady with the hand-held camera. They got to stay in a really nice hotel, which let them film in the facility.
Don't believe the high rankings for this film. It's a stinker.

A mindlessly fun outing back into the Venom franchise. Some good action sequences and unexpected comic dialog from Venom. Had me laughing out loud several times.
Tom Hardy does great with the physical demands of the role and does his best. It looks like he's having a blast and he was fun to watch.
Woody Harrelson was a bit underwhelming and didn't bring any menace to the role / maybe it was too much reliance on the CGI of Carnage. He and his GF were rather forgettable when all was said and done.
Some plot holes, lack of a real storyline . It was kind of all over the place story-wise.
Was good, could have been much better.

You have to say that this is a combination of the dark wind of the original cartoon, and it is better to fill Cesrogan with all kinds of bad tastes and satire complaints in his head.
You can see familiar shadows in this world at a glance.
Although there is no justice league here, they have a team of seven, namely, the Motherland (Dachao), Queen Maeve (WW), the Deep Sea (Sea King), the locomotive (twinkle), a ninja (the snake eye of GIJ?!), the invisible and the female star.
They exist more like stars than superheroes.
To be at the top of a hero's career, you don't have to save the world, you don't need to have superpowers that no one else can reach, you just need to pass the interview.
All of these greatest superheroes belong to a supercompany called Walter.
They are the "products" launched by this company.
Your itinerary, your look, everything you say in public is carefully planned, you have the entire crime forecasting department behind you to set a line for you to fight criminals, and your public relations team ensures that you wash your ass at any time and after you've done something wrong.
You are saviors in the eyes of ordinary people, and interested religious groups constantly claim that superheroes are. God's darling is the angel he sent to save the world; your approval rating is high on perfect planning ~ downloading social media. Next, wherever you go to meet you are cheering and applause; your surroundings can bring tens of billions of dollars a year, and every superhero movie starring is comparable to MCU~.
The biggest stars in the world are the superheroes; the biggest business is the superheroes; the closest to the gods is the superheroes, and they are like the gods among us.
GOD AMONG US.
Yes, despite the power of superheroes, this is no different from our world. Consumerism, flow control everything, ordinary people lost in huge bloated. In the flow of information, the head is empty, but also looking forward to some kind of illusory power to save the tragic life, few people think about what kind of darkness is hidden behind those fanaticism.

Tarantino's films are long, sometimes TOO LONG, like this review lol but usually I don't mind this, because the scene setting and dialogue is phenomenal, and makes it all worth the 5 minutes you just saw someone ride around with one foot out the car window or smoke a cigarette as if it is the last one on earth.
But in this case, the dialogue was not up to my expectations and I could not relate with with the privilege Hollywood of old, has-been, nostalgia that was mostly the theme of the movie.
I will say this though, it is a reimagining of real life events, so knowing more about them may help, I sadly did not know this until after. Always avoiding spoilers did not work out this time around.
I must admit anytime Leonardo DiCaprio or Brad Pitt were on the screen the movie shined, but Tarantino overindulged too much on others, and those scenes were not fun or helped develop much.
Now that I know what it was based on, I now understand why the characters were there, but regardless the movie dragged at times.
I give it a 6.5/10!
.... because there was a good 🐶 dogo.
Watch it at home. And fast forward any time Brad or Leonardo take too long to appear again.

Not as good as I hoped. I only watched this because Ryan Reynolds was in it, but even he couldn't save this movie. A bit too over the top for me. It was confusing at times and incredibly violent. I don't need to see body parts fly in all directions as proof of death - you hit 'em, shot 'em, ran over 'em. I get it, already. There's no need to rub my nose in it! Why are the bad guys always dumb arses? The worst drivers, the worst marksmen & the worst communicators in the world? The convenience makes the ghost team Teflon. Some of the stunts were amazing but I would have appreciated more time spent on a storyline without so many unbelievable plot holes instead of wham, bam, thank you ma'am over and over and over. I can only suspend my belief for so long.

At the end of this movie, I was left baffled. The cast was stellar, and had great performances. The story had a lot of unexpressed potential... but the movie was excessively quirky and ultimately fell flat to me.
So why was it?
Was it the directing, that couldn't focus coherently on the plot, without adding useless and weird details?
Or was it the not so great editing, that made some of the dialogues between the actors feel artificial?
At the end, the movie just felt strange. It lacked direction, introduced too many weird and wannabe-funny characters in a plot that probably required a more serious and straightforward approach.
Christian Bale an absolute master though, as usual.

Both the lead actors of Ford V Ferrari are some of the finest actors of this generation who have been struggling to find a hit since 2015. But this film has given them a much needed hit and potential Oscar nominations. Mangold has delivered a very good follow up after the blockbuster Logan. This film scores high on production values compared to other action / racing films which is a huge plus point

I love comic book movies and this was great but in a any movie has to have some reality to it or there is nothing to overcome. Wakanda, the city is just a rip off of Atlantis. The entire movie is made less believable and immersive by making the nation over the top. The racism in the movie is laughable only because we know that if similar jokes were made at the expense of blacks, there would be outrage and really only show the hypocrisy or ignorance of movie makers. All and all it was a fun movie but it doesn't deserve a place in the MCU. It could have been a better movie.

Summary: Infinity war has all the elements of the old trusted Disney recipe. Mediocre to bad comedy, stupid story, flat characters, political correct and kids friendly style.
If you loved Thor Ragnarok , you will love this one. It's only major difference is that there is much less Hulk in this one.
In Detail:
The good thing about the film is that it brings all our favorite marvel superheroes together without feeling overcrowd and giving each one of them its own role in the film without using him or her as mere decorations. The ending although partly expected, it has a good deal of surprise.
Overall however the film suffers from a ton of issues:
1) The elephant in the room is Thanos himself, he suffers from the same issues as Steppenwolf in JL. As a villain he is everything you expect to see, a bad guy wanting to do bad things. Their only difference is that dialogue wise Steppenwolf takes the edge with some really unique lines, Thanos takes the edge of having a bit more complex plan. But overall this is a "what you see is what you get" situation for both of and sadly they also both suffer from the plastic face CGI issue. Overall much of the motivation of Thanos makes little sense and the film does not seem able to decide the most basic whether Thanos is mad or plain stupid.
2) Hulk has been a big issue in all Disney films but never as much as in this one. He is pretty much non existent in this film , gone are his old days of "we have a hulk" , maybe there is a reason a surprise element left for the sequel but after Disney turning Hulk to this big cute meatball wrecking havoc depriving him of his Marvel identify of the stuff of nightmares and horrors , my hopes are very low on this one.
3) Disney of course does not stop there at destroying any link with the comics, an art they have perfect since the first movie they made. Thor for some weird reason is completely overpowered. The guy that barely made it alive from a fight with the Hulk in Thor Ragnarok , the first fight he discovers the peak of his powers , seems unlike Hulk to have no issues whatsover taking Thanos by himself. Why ? Again none knows.
4) Spiderman once more is reduced to Iron Man's sidekick. His role in the flim is completely unnecessary , even though he does indeed participate and contributes his own powers this film, these powers are like Homecoming extremely town down. His insane agility is long gone, his spider sense just a shadow of the one in the comics and of course what remains is his high reliance on his armor of course made by tony. Essentially if Iron Man is Dr Evil, Spiderman is Mini Me. It's pretty obvious that Disney is pitching Spiderman as the new Iron Man , although Holland acting skills are nowhere near those of RDJ.
5) Comedy was always the weakest part of Marvel films. Usually its a hit and miss situation, throw random jokes on the wall , see which one sticks. This film manages to be even worse than Thor Ragnarok. Some very good jokes, most of them you see them coming miles away.
6) For me Hulk was not the big surprise on how underpowered he was but Dr Strange. Marvel has already establishes that he can run circles around Thor and Loki combined , yet in this one he seems to display a tiny fraction of his abilities
7) Which brings us to another problem stemming from this inconsistency, action scenes. None of the fight scenes are really exciting, the most exciting is nothing more than a recycle from a similar scene in Thor Ragnarok.
8) Last but not least, character development is non existent. Infinity War seems to follow Civil War but again there is no discussion on the big gap that it left to the team, the film starts with an indication that it may address the issue but then as soon as Thanos visits our planet, its no longer an issue. Disney logic at its best.
All my fears since watching the trailer have been confirmed and I would be surprised if the sequel is the first superhero movie not bothering to watch.

I like both, Stone and Gosling as performers, but this lacks something, like chemistry, charisma and talent. Stone was irritating and about Gosling's character I could not care less.
Maybe I hate musicals? I don't. I've watched most of them and they are at least 5 stars out of 10.
The thing is, if they cut the first hour off, maybe then I'd give 5 stars...out of 10.

I just saw this movie and I found it in line of mediocrity.
I didn't buy the idea of all that absurdity about bets and superstitions. I didn't like the comedy inside, since the proposal here is to show that serious mental problems. I didn't like the lack of sense on the attitudes of the characters. And definitely I didn't like how they solve the movie, with that suppose professional dance contest.
Each of the elements above are not the problem. But this mix is a receipt that screwed.
The performances are good, but this plot didn't help all the talent involved.
This movie was full of boring dialogs, nonsense decisions and it is not funny.

Good production value.
Good acting, for the most part.
Entertaining, for the most part.
Bird Box would likely have been better received if it was released further after A Quiet Place.
The antagonist is a mystery, and the film doesn't attempt to explain it beyond what the characters can imagine. The "criminally insane" become allies with the unsympathetic "force". I've read that some viewers proclaim it stigmatises mental illness, however, that was not my impression. The only mention I recall from the movie was that these people were "criminally insane", like a person incapable of human empathy, imprisoned for a heinous crime. The film doesn't mention "mental illness" at all.
The opening sequence was sensational.
The secondary characters have their purpose in the film, albeit small and seemingly insignificant. They each added flavour to the film, even if it's just for comical relief or a sex-in-the-pantry scene.
I don't think the film attempts to deliver a message about society. It does attempt to entertain, thrill, sadden, and offer a somewhat happy ending. I think it delivers what it intended to, and I'll give 7 birds to this box, I reckon.

It's so awesome to see our favorite actors on screen working together again! I literally can't wait for every episode to see what happens next. Growing up watching the some of the best movies starring Steve Martin, Martin Short and Nathan Lane and hopefully others to make an appearance in this series is so refreshing and so wonderful to laugh with them again. Hope they have many seasons ahead!

I love the show, it's very interesting and funny. Although I have to admit, not all episodes were funny, especially from season five, most of the episodes were not funny, but they were interesting enough to keep me captivated with the whole show. And then they did this little, life lesson at the end of most episodes with some background music and it always made me tear up. But Cameron! God that guy annoys the heck out of me, at first it was hilarious but overtime it became annoying, he dishes out what he can't take, overly dramatic, overly sensitive, makes a big issue out of everything and then if he's in the wrong he finds a way to blame it on the other party it's so annoying. And then Mitch all because he loves Cam takes everything in stride, it's annoying tbh. That being said my fav characters are Gloria and Mitch.

The title reflects my demeanor, not the movie. Perhaps I missed something here, but to me the movie was more about a sweet teenage love story than it was about cancer. I am an adult woman, and I really think this movie was geared towards teenagers who clearly got something out of this that I did not. The acting was really good, but unlike every other viewer, this movie did not touch me as it did others. It was not sad until the end, but it still did not rock me or make me cry. I did not think it was an incredibly depressing film, but it also did not pull me in as much as I thought it would. It's more of a 6.5 and it was worth a Saturday night, but did not live up to the hype in my opinion.

Possibly One of the Best Cartoon Series ever, Book One "Water" starts the story and gets you going, the second book "Earth" get you really into it and the last book "Fire" you are really excited to find out what happens next and when its Over .. you feel a VOID and you really miss it. I specially miss the Uncle's voice "Previously in Avatarrrr...." at the start of episodes in Book three The Fire. Its very well balanced series .... recently my kids saw it and absolutely Loved it ... Another series similar to Avatar is Samurai Jack, but it was left hanging and it did not end, I wish its writers and producers finish the story. But this Avatar is amazing

If you are a fan of the original Adams Family series from the 60's you won' like this mini series.
Gomez is morbidly obese and hard to look at. Pugsly is sort of obese too. Catherine Zeta Jones is good but barely in it. Lurch is practically non existent.
Yeah, I get it. It's the Wednesday show but Wednesday is not a deep character. She has one emotion -- which is no emotion.
By the second episode, it gets on your nerves.
They hype this as having Tim Burton involved but executive producers are generally around to earn paycheck and don't really offer anything. And it's pretty apparent by the look of the series.

My initial impression of this show was that it tricked people into thinking an incredibly poorly written procedural was prestige television through great acting and neat visuals, but now the writing in real life is much dumber. This means that Hannibal now requires relatively little suspension of disbelief to enjoy and is in fact more true to life than many arguably more intelligent TV shows. Well worth your time (it may even encourage you to take up fun new hobbies- like cooking and fly fishing!).

Maybe I will be perceived as one of those insecure middle-aged men who is "terrified" of women, as labeled by another poster on here, but I assure you, I'm not.
First of all, I'm gay, so I'm just here to provide a more unbiased and alternative look at the reality of what the world is nowadays when it comes to what I see between men and women. Just because I'm gay doesn't mean I don't have s lot of straight friends and I've stood on the sidelines watching their lives play out quite often. And as I've offered my observations, I've had many a "Barbie" say, 'Yeah, I never thought of that,' when explaining how men think, and see things.
Because remember as we move forward in this discussion, for every Barbie out there, there is a Ken too. And it would indeed be interesting to see the movie, "Ken," come out next. And have it written by a man. And not a man who is just trying be progressive and accepted by women. But a man who truly will give Ken's side of the story too.
So let's begin with the patriarchal thing. A deep and rather complex discussion to be sure.
Is there still a patriarchal mentality going on in this world? Of course. And there will continue to be for some time to come. The world doesn't just do a 180 because some movie called Barbie comes out and relegates men to some sort of inconsequential joke.
Nor did it immediately do a 180 just because women were becoming more vocal about their rights some 50+ years ago (even more when you consider the right to vote).
Just because we're living in a time when it's more acceptable, and cool for women to take jabs at men, doesn't mean change will be enacted overnight. Especially in light of the fact that there are still women out there who aren't "terrified" (to use that poster's word) of men and are perfectly fine letting them take the lead in a relationship, protect them when necessary, and do the things that men have done in relationships since the beginning of time. Remember, patriarchal societies have been around since the beginning of time, and you can't blame men for doing what they ALSO have seen as being expected of them. Many of these expectations coming from women themselves. Whether they'll admit to it or not.
For those who don't subscribe to the latter though, and want to become independent, and change that patriarchal trajectory, there are indeed alternatives. And I say, go for it. We're living in an age when women don't need men. They can be pretty much anything they want to be nowadays. Are there still "ceilings" to be shattered? Yes. But life really isn't that bad.
And what about the Barbie body image thing. For decades we've heard women complain about that impossible image that Barbie dolls have set for women. But the reality is that most men don't expect that in a woman. Not nearly as much as women might pretend or believe they do. That's more of a socialized, media construct that comes as a result of what the Barbie doll, and more generally, Hollywood and print media have set up. In the day to day world though, that's not how it is when it comes to what men expect in women.
Sure, men talk about good-looking women. They ogle women. Sometimes make a catcall or two. But women talk about good-looking men too. And when a good-looking man walks in the room, there is no denying what the women in the room think of him. Hell, I saw Aladdin on Broadway and when he came out without his shirt on, muscles bulging, the women in the audience went nuts. And in the play Take Me Out during the shower scene with a bunch of hot young men naked in the shower scene, the women in the audience weren't exactly suppressing their murmurings and "responses." So come on!
And to expand upon that, I worked at a major amusement park in Anaheim for almost ten years when I was younger. I was witness to thousands of couples. And I can tell you that I actually saw more couples where the man was better looking than the woman than I did where the woman was better looking than the man.
So no, men don't expect perfection.
Actually, from the observations I've made of women it would suggest that they do place a lot of importance on looks and physique when it comes to a man too. They can pretend that they don't, and that it's the men who have these impossible expectations of women, but it doesn't change the facts.
In the movie, we see Barbie's perspective on things. So, this is how Ken sees it in the real world too: women want a man who is good looking, has a great body, has a full head of hair. And oh yeah, if he has a lot of money, even better.
And add to that you have women who have special interests such as a man in uniform;. Or a younger man. I have female friends who will only date a guy in uniform. Etc.
So do women really want to play that "expectations" card?
I wouldn't suggest it. Because they are just as guilty as men. And any body self-image thing that women have is more Hollywood, and yes, Barbie-driven than what is the reality anyway. Because men are way more accepting than women claim them to be. Or I should say, straight men are. Gay men, not so much.
I will even add that men are so accepting of women, that ageism isn't even the issue that women play it up to be. Women complain about men who only want a younger, hotter woman and that women "age out" and are not treated with the same respect. To that I say bull. Let's say my 50 year old female friend and I go out for dinner, and our waiter is some hot younger man. If my friend has a thing for younger men and hits on him, depending on the moment in time, that friend of mine might very well have a date for the night.
I can tell you that as a gay male, that would not happen with that younger man if he was gay. If he played on my team and I made a play for him, there would only be a 5-10% chance I would have a chance at him. Because if you want to know what picky is, ask a gay man. Younger gay men won't hardly give the time of day to an older man.
So straight women benefit from this as well. There is no such thing as becoming too old. There are plenty of younger men who are willing and I'll bet where I'd have a 5-10% with the dude if he played on my team, she'd have an 80-90% chance with him if he was straight. Older gay men will not see the same willingness in younger gay men that straight women do in younger straight men. And even if the younger guy wasn't interested in an older woman, he would treat her with respect. The younger gay man will very likely put the older man down.
But I digress. Even though proven the point that women have nothing to complain about. Trust me.
In closing, are there Ken dolls who only want Barbie? Sure. But that's not the majority.
Do men appreciate a good looking woman with a nice body? Yes.
But women appreciate the same in men too, so time to move on from that discussion. Both men AND women have expectations of the opposite sex.
As to the patriarchal thing? Definitely a deeper and more complex subject.
But still, things have changed a lot for women. I know that patriarchal societies have been around for a long time. They have been the "norm" so to speak. And again, a lot of women are actually still okay with that. They don't mind the man taking the lead in ther relationship, protecting them, etc.
But for those who don't subscribe to that, women can now be the VP of the USA, or the prime minister or president of whole countries. We almost had a female president here in the States. Women can be CEOs, and even directors of movies. Some of the wealthiest people on this earth are women. All kinds of opportunities.
Even the opportunity to get your degree, get a nice job, and find a husband who has a lot of money, is totally hot, wears a uniform, is younger, or whatever. If the latter are your things too.
Women have nothing to complain about. Looks, age, none of it matters as much as you think it does. For women, the Barbie syndrome may exist, but reality would suggest otherwise.
Now boo hoo for me, all of that really DOES matter when you're gay. LOL. Or COL (cry out loud). Whatever the case may be.

For those complaining of the racial messages in the show, I can guess your race. Racial disparities were discussed in the comics. Plus, it's a fact of every day life for People of Color. Once you understand and acknowledge that, you'll feel less frustrated that it's represented in television and movies. Also, it's not inconceivable that Sam would need to go to the bank for a loan. The Avengers were a private organization funded by Stark, which in case you forgot, is dead. So, who exactly do you expect to be bankrolling Sam's lifestyle?? Now, I love the banter between Bucky and Sam. It's been good to see the growth in Bucky. I wish we could find out more about his time in Wakanda over these last 2 episodes. Zemo has been a funny piece of the storyline too. My only complaints are I hate fake Cap and I've never been a Sharon Carter fan. Otherwise, watch it and form your own opinions.

If you're a fan of Kate Winslet and want to watch the film that won her her Oscar, and you're old enough to handle some very uncomfortable sex scenes, go out and rent The Reader. If you're not old enough, or you prefer well-acted movies where everyone keeps his and her clothes on, rent Labor Day instead for a great Kate Winslet performance.
David Kross stars as a fifteen-year-old boy in post-war Germany who enters into a relationship with the much older, mysterious Kate Winslet after a chance encounter. While it's very clear that David's interest is solely the interest of any hormone-raging teenager who gets within a three-foot radius of any woman, it never explains Kate's interest. On a physical level, why is she attracted to someone who, five years earlier, was in grade school? On an emotional level, why does she want to permanently damage a young boy's mind and future relationships? In their meet-cute, she helps walk him home after he's ill on the street. Leading up to their first explicit encounter, he helps her with a chore and gets his face dirty; she insists he take off all his clothes and have a bath. The set-up makes no sense, and if you're looking at the film through a lens concerned with child abuse, Kate is clearly guilty.
A good portion of the movie details Kate and David's sexual relationship, but as the film starts with Ralph Fiennes reflecting on his youth, the audience is left to hope there's a little more to the story. The plot does progress, and if you look up the film online you'll find out what happens in the first sentence of description. If you want to be surprised, just rent the movie without knowing anything about it.
While the performances of the lead actors are very good, the script is surprisingly weak. There's a shocking lack of character development than not only leaves the audiences wondering why they made their choices, but makes the main points of the plot unbelievable. I can only imagine Kate Winslet working through her script, exclaiming, "She does what? But why?" with no one to help her. Given what she had to work with, she did a very good job.
Kiddy Warning: Obviously, you have control over your own children. However, due to graphic nudity, graphic sex scenes, and uncomfortable scenes involving a young boy, I wouldn't let my kids watch it.

This is my first review for a movie in 30 years. N trust me this is the best movie I have ever seen. I have seen it approx 30 times and every time I see it it feels like a new revelation. Both the actors have done damn well specially Kareena. It somehow makes me happy every time I am sad.

I don't usually write reviews, but I'm taking the time out now because I genuinely feel as if this film is being misrepresented. The hype got me in the door and now I'm bewildered to see it referred to as "brilliant" or "suspenseful."
What we have here is Sandler playing a totally unlikable character in a movie full of unlikable characters, and because he is such a sleazeball, he deserves whatever misfortune that comes his way. Because the guy has no redeemable qualities, the audience is basically waiting for his bad luck to catch up to him and for him to "get his." I don't know where all the tension and suspense is supposed to come from when the guy continually makes bad decisions that are all begging for a bad outcome.
And Sandler's character is so closely related to the kind of dirtbags that he's played in the past that I don't see what's so special about his acting job here. In fact, the character itself is so one-dimensional and bordering on cartoony that it feels as if Sandler isn't acting at all. Sleaze comes naturally for him here, but there's absolutely nothing else to latch onto.
The only time a real development happens is towards the end, after spending an hour and a half with this clown playing with other people's money. The hype is undeserved and clearly a push campaign by Sandler's people to get him an Oscar.

I don't understand why this is the 8th highest rated movie of all time. I saw how highly rated it was so decided to watch it. After the first half an hour I found it enjoyable but my mind wasn't blown. As the movie continued I kept waiting for something to happen that warrants its 8.9 stars. Nothing actually happens in this movie. I hope its just me because through my eyes its the most overrated movie of all time.

As I already know Witcher by game, watching it was funnier, all chracters were also showing good performances, I kinda felt like watching game of thrones because of monsters and old age creations, only detail that make confusion was changing scenes between flashback and current times, we see past in the next episodes and future in past episodes, sometime vice versa, it made me confused, how long time passed between old and past is also not clear first, we figuring it out later or just guessing about it, still it not makes show bad, this was one of the most I liked TV series and I am excited to watch second season.

This is just phenomenal. The writing and direction are pure magic. The acting, aside from the "Dice Clay" schtick, is outstanding. A fantastic multidimensional journey in 8-short segments of 25-minutes. Just f'ing fantastic.

Walking out of this movie, I felt giddy and excited. It was a fun flick with impressive special effects that didn't seem entirely tacked on.
But the more I thought about it, the more I felt cheated and manipulated. The plot was fairly decent... for the first half of the film. Then it pulls out and lets the special effects take over. I know the purpose of film is to manipulate emotions, but being stroked into thinking a movie is great because it looked pretty is just insulting.
I recommend seeing it at least once, especially on a big screen, but not because it's the great sci-fi film everyone's touting it to be--because it's a good two hours of mindless entertainment with some decent loud music and entrancing special effects.

This movie tried really hard to blow your mind, but for me, it only blew my patience. It had so much potential, but came out as trying too hard to sensationalize. The big twist was really a big dud to me. Some people really like that huge mind blowing turn at the end, but it has to make sense. Predestination really didn't. Good thing they added the "which came first the chicken or the egg" quote. That allowed me to concoct a very, very weak explanation, which I won't bore you with.
Don't get me wrong this movie had some very good acting, production values and direction (despite the story line). It's in no way a total loss and some people love that bizarre twist at the end that many science fiction movies strive for such as Inception, the sixth sense, Loopers etc. However, I didn't enjoy this movie a half as much as those because those flicks made sense. Predestination sacrifices logic for sensationalism which left me empty and disappointed.

Mare of Easttown is the kind of police/detective show that a bunch of monkeys with typewriters would come up with given enough time. It's full of the usual clichés and the miserable moody detective with a bad attitude. It tries so hard to be real and gritty but accomplishes nothing more than being a slow grinding depressing slog. If you want a superior alternative I recommend Happy Valley.

The acting from everyone is just so natural and the humour isn't forced. Loved it. Selena Gomez proving once again that there's nothing she can't do. Steve Martin and Martin Short showing their powerful dynamic once again but with the added bonus of the Gomez. 100% WOULD RECOMMEND.

I started watching OMITB on a whim because I had nothing else to watch, but I wasn't expecting it to have such a grip over me in short time that I started to eagerly wait for it's new episode every week.
It starts off pretty slow and some might even find it cliche and boring in the beginning, but once I embraced how zany and colorful these characters are and what they could bring to the table in terms of storytelling from different points of views, I got hooked.
Even the finale did two things right that shows these days struggle with, it gave a satisfactory ending to a well-built story and successfully teased a new one for those interested without feeling forced or awkward.
But in the end this is my opinion, it's up to you if you want to give this a try.

*I know what Nolan was trying to do, make a war film with as little cgi as possible. He wanted everything to be in front of the screen. We have to applaud him.
Execution wise, this movie is boring, slow, and even at less than 2 hours it feels 30 minutes too long.
*There is no story, no characters, and Dunkirk looks very very bare. Just watch that "Dunkirk-scene" from the movie "Atonement" and you will see that it is done way better in "Atonement."
*This movie is just boring but Nolan can't help but add his "magic" to it. He just can't make a straight forward film anymore, he has to make different timelines, he has to try to make everything "Memento-like." Not everything needs that back and forth thing, just make a straight up story.
5/10 Good directing and acting, but boring film, action scenes are boring, no story, no characters, and Nolan really needed to add come CGI for his Dunkirk films to show more troops. It just looks so bare.

This movie is not completely worthless like I was expecting it to be when I saw the trailer. There are some good comedic bits in this movie, and the acting is fairly good. There is also a lot more substance to this film than I was expecting, this movie really is geared towards adults rather than kids.
I appreciate the movie touching on some interesting topics. Like the impact that Barbie has had on body image, her impact on gender roles, and the unhealthy obsession with material items. It is certainly a bold move by the director, one that could have been executed better. At times the delivery of the messaging feels too clunky, including a Shakespearean monologue from America Ferrera. This is also a movie that doesn't seem to want to end. The final 15 minutes drag with an inefficient wrap up sequence.

In my opinion, the Harry Potter movies are maybe the best series of movies, ever created. But Deathly Hallows Part 1, so boring, realizing, that the producers made it just to make extra money.
Each book, has one movie. So, Deathly Hallows should have one movie..

A rivetting journey of crime thriller that keeps u edge of seat untill the last act...with a brilliant story screenplay and fine performance from the cast the flick has garnered all-round accolades... Vignesh raja explores the realities of police job simultaneously livelihood of individuals at proper intervals where the characters are caught in a vortex of survival and desperate measures they take on and consequences sets the benchmark for Kollywood post "RATCHASAN"... While compelling narratives are supported by evocative camera work and bgm keeps u in a web of deceit and compliments the narration ... Overall a worthy theatrical movie that deserves a nationwide recognition...

How silly could it be ?
You got a schoolwork with an A+ in front of you, but you dont write off for your schoolwork.
You have the perfect main-character in your cast, but you show him not even the half of the show.
Thanks Mrs Hissrich for ruining this Lore....thanks for bringing a lot of content to the show, nobody asked for and nobody wants to see !
Netflix, whats your opinion to this desaster ? You paid and received a better lore than game of thrones, and you let it get ruined by a bunch of show-runners, who cant even write of a perfect story ?
Witcher for me is done with season 3....just hoped, Henry gets a worthy final, but all hopenis lost here.

The first 10-15 minutes of this film are, in my opinion, the best... It's not interesting or exciting after that and this is coming from a huge history fan.
The German army obviously consisted of 3 men and the air force only had 1 guy. They should've cut down on some of the many fantastic actors that had pointless 5 minute appearances (if that) and paid some more extras.
War Horse was a million times better.

The movie is about a middle aged actor in Japan doing a whisky commercial and while he is there he befriends a lonely young woman. The two are played by Scarlett Johanson and Bill Murry. The entire film comes off as if there was no script and the two actors are just given an idea, sort of like an improv group. The problem is Johanson has zero ability to do improv. Watch the scene where they are sitting at a bar and Murry notices her black toe. He goes on and on about taking her to a hospital while she just sits there and giggles. It's like watching a kid in an acting class, she is absolutely terrible in this movie. One boring improvised scene after another. Another scene has the two in robes talking about the pool at the hotel. It is as if the director said "OK just make up conversation about the pool, ACTION!" And then both actors just stand there talking about the pool, and once again Johanson just stands there trying to make up dialogue, it's not her fault the scenes are so dull, why should she be able to come up with great things to say, how about A SCRIPT??? This could go down as the single most overrated movie of all time. Copolla won the Academy Award for screenplay?? That made absolutely no sense.
Also many scenes are condescending to the Japanese people, they are sometimes used as props for Murry's improv and it really begins to get awkward. Pass on this one.

Best of all the spidey's. First one was like a TV Movie, but not bad. Third one was terrible - two words - dance sequence. Although Toby (or any of the other actors) is still not the right one for Peter Parker, I'll except it.

The only reason this film will make money is the small demographic that likes this phoney/feel good faith crap, and the folks who're suckered in by the actress that plays Kate in This is Us. (This film was mostly advertised on NBC between episodes of This is Us and The Voice to trick people into thinking this movie was anything other than a dumbbed down glorified faith film).
Rational people know you cannot pray medical conditions away, but of course by this film's logic you can.... it's just so scummy and manipulative. Skip this trash and watch slmething worth your time, like Paddleton on Netflix.

This show makes all of the major mistakes that most adaptations do. 1. Bad actor choices( exception of Henry Cavil). Most of these actors dont fit the role description or personality portrayed by the characters in the books. 2. They have taken way to many liberties with the story. Whether that be omission, chronology, ornthe mixing and matching of stories in one epsidoe instead of full telling one continuous story at a time. There are plenty and they butcher all of them. 3. Creating events that never happend. Many things are for the imagination not to be directly depicted. This is especially the case when you take into account the poor scripting. 4. You miss the entire essence of the story. Nothing is in order. Characters have too much revealed too early on. Your supposed to be surprised at how things happening. Producers think viewers are stupid so they make everything with instant gratification. They lined are way too direct. It makes the whole thing feel rushed.
Why is it so hard to just stick to the books? The best example of this is Harry Potter. There was very little abridged and virtual no liberties taken. Learn from the masters.

Chris Hemsworth was good in his appearances & acting. Casting of Randeep Hooda (Saju) was not done well by director as he is fabulous actor. Randeep with Moustache or smaller hair could have been better.
Director tried adding emotions to movie but it was never connecting. It never gave the pain which character of Chris Hemsworth was going through. If I was given a chance i could have reduced actions by 5-10% and added additional emotional touch better.
2 min explaining rivalry could have added flow to movie. It looked very very low budget movie and conditioning lockdown i hope it had earned required OTT through Netflix.
I am not sure of shooting permissions in India but if it was casted in India , I am sure it could had come well.

You have it ALL with this show, in all senses: Is so original, so well done, and of course: You have Mr. Kiefer Sutherland, creating each season one of the best anti-heroes of the history of the TV serials. I dont use to follow TV shows because i get born so fast... but the rythm, edition and each season that just grows and grows, and its better, make 24 one of my all times favourites. (Season 2, 5 and 8 are just master pieces of drama and action) The solitude of a heroe when his honest, the caractheres so real, because they are not totally bad or good, and the life in this "few days" of Mr. Jack Bauer that its just impossible not to love, always saving the world in the shadow...make me fall in love forever with this stop beatin' heart clock plots. Amazing everything and everyone.

From the very beginning I was disappointed, and confused. The acting is generally really bad. There was only 3 actors, that shined from the very beginning, and sadly two of them was replaced because of the timeline. The young princess, the young queen, and the brother to the King. The rest of the cast is ill instructed, and are very overplayed, and very boring. Nothing is subtle, or between the lines, like we are used to from GOT - everything is talking heads, and theatrical scenery. No one is likeable, or charming, besides those three. The young princess is gives the impression of a real Targaryen. Very beautiful, strong mind, and charismatic - like we got used to with the 'mother of dragons'. However, she was replaced by an actress with no resemblance, charm, or acting skills. Also the character has changed so much, that it is unrecognizable, without proper explanation - at which we got none. She went from strong, and charming - to a weakling, and birth-machine. The young queen also made a 180 from episode, to episode - from being likeable, and caring, to a very negative person, who is capable of all kinds of evil. There are no history in these transitions of character. Also everything is rushed, and often they make these scenes at which they attempt to be clever, and show it all at once. However, these scenes are childish, and very poorly done. Even the scenes that have some substance in them, are suddenly drowned it cliche. A very bad attempt to make a prequel to one of the most epic stories ever told - a waste of time.

Let's face it they got lucky with the first movie. A daft idea for a money making spin off which turned out to be pretty entertaining but then to do it again? Same 'jokes' with Eddie and venom bickering and wanting to eat heads from first movie. Stephen graham totally wasted and a plot that I honestly think a baby wrote. Stop this nonsense now Disney please.

I don't get it, I have read a lot of the reviews at the top of the list and I am starting to think I saw a worse movie than everyone else in a dream?!?!
The plot I saw was weak with a lot of misdirection to make the movie seem more intelligent then it really was. Don't get me wrong, the special effects were awesome but to me the plot was misleading and thin at best. A dream, in a dream, in a dream? Yes it is as stupid as it sounds! For me it takes a lot more then special effects to make a movie! I just wish people were a little more honest when they were reviewing this movie. Maybe people who didn't really actually understand the movie rated it higher so they would feel smarter and better about themselves? Not the worst movie I have ever seen but definitely not a 9+ rating!
It's anybody's guess.

According to me this is the best movie of Indian Film Industry. So well directed , screen play , cinematography are up to mark. Now I have become a big fan of Farhan Akhtar, the movie shows his hard work and dedication. He is something super perfect. All actors performed with full zeal. Specially Divya Dutta she played the role of sister of Milkha Singh, she is a real actor. Salute to bath Farhan Akhtar And Divya Dutta...... Movie was something more than i can write. It will make you cry, laugh and inspired at all moments. Its shows the fine work done by these great artist. More Farhan and Sonam Kapoor took nothing for this tribute work. A big salute to them. And finally some words for the legend Milkha Singh. What he did 50 years ago is never achieved till date and will not be achieved 1000 years ago. He is a example of pure hard work and sportsmen. He has suffered a lot in his life , a normal person suffering from same situations can not even lead a normal life but what he did is only and only his sincere efforts and diligence . Really he is a "Flying Sikh" . He bought laurels to the country and to our society too. I am a great fan of him. May he prosper in his life. I would love to watch this movie a million times.

Steven Soderbergh's debut feature from 1989 revolutionized the independent film movement making way for 1990's low-budget American film to flourish. It also won the Palme D'Or at the Cannes film festival. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the film is that it still feels as fresh today as it must have over 20 years ago. All of the performances feature actors at the top of their game with Andie McDowell and especially James Spader (who also took home the Best Actor Cannes prize playing against type) giving their best performances. The editing is incredible, condensing the different information we learn visually and audibly in a more effective manner. The characters are all really well fleshed out as well as their relationships. It manages to be about sex without showing any yet still maintaining the frankness any graphic sex would have achieved through its dialogue. The film uses a style that is more on the minimalist side of things with little music and a slow steady flow with only four major characters. It delves into the relationships between husband and wife, men and women, sisters' and more. While Steven Soderbergh has always stuck to his avant-garde tendencies with low-key projects in between the big budget ones, he should be writing a lot more than he does and experimenting with character driven material from his own hand more often. The interactions between everyone are carefully observed. The way he handles the climax of the film is ingenious. Traffic may be the more impressive achievement but this is easily my favorite Soderbergh film.

This is by far the MCU's darkest and mature film. The action has become more gritty, realistic and violent. The acting has gotten more serious with some humour thrown in for comic relief. Themes are no longer childish and involves terrorism, death, betrayal, politics and vengeance. The writing no longer panders to children, but to all demographics. Overall, the quality has improved drastically from previous MCU entries in writing, acting, direction and technical aspects. However, the film isn't dark and serious like Nolan's Batman because it sticks to its comic book roots and is able to distinguish itself, and not become generic. This is up there with The Dark Knight and Spider-Man 2 for best cbm ever made.

Parasite reminds me of those novels you sometimes read in English class or a literature club (ala Ulysses) and you had to appreciate all the intricacies, themes, and symbolism or risk looking uncultured. But those novels missed something really important, that gets lost in all the circlejerking about the symbolism and little details - whether or not its actually interesting to read. Whether it provides a good story, good dialogue, good characters.
Similarly, Parasite is a movie rich in themes and symbolism. What I particularly liked is the mature exploration of class dynamics. Its the obvious central theme of the film and its done very well. I dont think anything in Hollywood could ever manage to explore this theme with such nuance and maturity.
This movie is also a really good work of art. The direction is top quality, and it effortlessly goes from comedy, to family drama, to horror, to thriller, and then finally ends in a Tarantino-esque finale.
But the actual plot of the film? The dialogues, the drama, its all mediocre at best. What really happens in this film. What makes a viewer curious, interested, surprised? How do the characters develop, how does the plot develop, where and when is there interesting dialogue that pulls you in?
In my opinion, the overarching script of this movie is not particularly strong when you evaluate it in terms of core storytelling. And worse, it doesn't use its runtime well in order to tell whatever it wants to tell. And while a film critic might be impressed by its symbolism and the way it shifts in tone and genres, I think it actually detracts from the viewer experience if the primary aim of the viewer is to see an enjoyable movie.
I'm far from someone who merely enjoys popcorn fiction. There's a reason I hate Marvel movies. But I also think that a movie has to strike a balance, I don't think Parasite did that. I think it has benefited from collective overhyping that is partially a result of the heaps of praise by critics and partially because it is a decent movie released in a time of popcorn movie trash.

First of all for anyone that didn't get the name: S.H.A.Z.A.M. = Solomon (for the Wisdom of Solomon), Hercules (for the Strength of Hercules), Atlas (for the Stamina of Atlas), Zeus (for the Power of Zeus), Achilles (for the Courage of Achilles) and Mercury (for the Speed of Mercury).
I am a huge hero fan but I don't know a lot about Shazam. The movie seems to show the origin of Shazam and the Shazam Family of heroes. It covers The New 52 which is the new DC revamp following the conclusion of the "Flashpoint" crossover storyline.
The movie was extremely boring with very little action. I felt like the audience was frustrated by a self centred annoying kid, especially when it turned in Shazam. In Captain Marvel we had a similar story, focusing on the character, however at the end of the movie Captain Marvel showed her true powers. In Shazam you keep waiting for that big moment, and it never happens. He beats the villain by tricking him because someone else that doesn't have Solomon's wisdom told him how.
I am not sure if the comics are the same, an immature 15 year old without any common sense. For someone with the wisdom of Solomon and the courage of Achilles.... he really didn't display either during the 2 hours and a bit. Billy as a 15 years old seemed OK, the main issue is when he turns into Shazam that somehow becomes much more immature than his "little sister" Darla.
I am also wondering if Billy is secretly related to Arya Stark:))
Just a weird question, if Billy's mum lost him when he was, around 5 years old, and she was 17 years old, at what age did she have him?
The DC universe is supposed to be darker than Marvel. And I didn't get that. Again, if this depicts the comics and how the character behaved in them, great, they did an amazing job. For me this was the weakest Superhero movie I have seen in the last two decades. I am hoping that we will see him in the next Justice League movie, if there is one, matching Superman.
For me there was just no WOW factor like you get in other DC/Marvel movies. Not even once. As a kids movie (under 12), sure it is great for them, they will love it.

Love Ga Ga's voice, but the songs were mediocre. Bradley Coopers character seemed one-dimensional and not believable. Sam Elliot did what he could with the material. Long and tedious.

There is no great reward without great sacrifice and that sacrifice should be PG-13 rating, if we didn't live in such money grabbing world and thinking that R rated means less money, first Venom and this one could have been something great instead they turn into childish play that is meant for 13yo and is satisfyingly good until one point where you go "It's enough of that lets get serious for one moment".
Without any doubt it has great cast and some great people behind the movie but it lacks support from someone who is scared to make real, bloody, less funny, more violent Venom. After 10 or 15 minutes of jokes that Venom provides it starts to get so dull and pointless that will make everyone think WHY!? It just never stops, constant poking in the ears by jokes are annoying as Venom is annoying Eddie.
There are some powers to the story but it feels so rushed and too much time devoted to things that aren't important. Each fight scene could use a minute or two more and some actual violence instead of throwing people around. Brain hungry Carnage is only eating when allowed by writers and it's dull to point of realization that Carnage might actually be just Red symbiote that actually loves humans.
The greatest thing about whole movie is post-credit scene that is minute long and gives us glimpse into what might come to be.
