I don't understand the point of this movie. There's already a superior version out there that you can watch instead. This movie lacks all the charm that the Original movie had. This live action remake was awful and i hope Disney stops with this trend.

After a long time i watched this movie again. A movie which deserves to be watched multiple times. And again this movie gave me a terrible feeling about how we have lost our humanity in today's time. We defines someone by there religion instead of their deeds. This sucks tbh.
And after watching this movie, again I can say I have learnt a little more about goodness. It's a movie that should be watched by everyone. Please give it a try guys, you will love it.
This movie's storyline, album everything is just one of the finest and how can we not talk about SRK's acting in it? The one show stealing, the charm of the movie. Kajol's and all other cast's acting was also really good, but SRK was best among with.
Give it a try, u won't regret.
Thank you for suchha good movie tbh✨🖤

If this show was made today it would not have been cancelled because it is clearly ahead of its time not only in the writing and visuals but the whole base of the show which is the relationship between Hannibal and Graham that alludes to good and evil, which with greatly written character development we can see that clearly there's no real good. I hope this gets picked up from cancellation soon, I believe that today people are ready for a fourth and more seasons of Hannibal.

The title says it all. The series had nothing to add. Plot holes everywhere...
And the worst of all is that Steve gave the shield to the falcon. Not to someone else who just appeared out of nowhere...
Don't bother to watch the series unless you are hardcore fan of multiverses. I am not! And i am farely certain that this is a different timeline...
I wasted my time. Another MCU potato... Sorry guys i can't diggest it. I vomit...
Along with Loki series and the expected What If, the old school fans will probably wait for a total reset/reboot of MCU...

I got through it, now I can check this movie off of my list. I will not be watching this movie again. I could watch "Roots," "Mississippi Burning," "Rosewood," "The Help," and anything like these movies ten times over before watching this again. I've never watched anything that crushed my spirits as much as this movie. I felt like I lived every second of those twelve years with the main character, Solomon Northrup (Chiwetel Ejiofor).
Was it a good production? Yes. Did it have a stellar cast? Absolutely. This movie accomplished what it set out to do, but I barely had the emotional or psychological capacity to finish it. So, on the one hand, well done. On the other hand, leave me alone.

Story: I even fear call it "story". It's filled with nonsense and extremely simple excuses or goals. Even the message they want to send is messed up.
Visual Effects: thankfully this side of the movie is good as the first one. Even if there are not actually new things (all copied from the first one or the real world).
Soundtrack: it was enjoyable and good as the first one, sincerely talking.
Conclusion: this movie is just to watch, there's nothing else to do. Shut down your brain and enjoy the visual, otherwise you'll face the story side and, well, it will make it worst. It's totally a shame, really, the main idea could be good but the way they developed it was totally nonsense. Ah, now that I'm thinking about the main idea of the movie thoroughgly, I would say that even that was nonsense. Really, I'm not joking, don't worsen the good taste the first Avatar movie leave to you watching this one.

This is such a well done show, so engaging and interesting with great characters and back stories. The special effects are great and Karl Urban is awesome as Butcher. The first and second seasons have some shocking scenes with a lot of graphic violence, etc. But the third season just goes too far for me. And, that's coming from someone who was fine with the first and second seasons. There are just far too many scenes in the third season that were too gross, and done only for shock value. It's not necessarily the violence, but the childish nudity/depravity and other really bizarre things that pushed it over the line for me. I probably won't be back for season four unless they dial back the shock factor/depravity quite a bit and go back to just the standard levels of obscene violence. My score would be a 9 or 10 for seasons one and two, but season three drops my score to a 5.

This was a grind to get through, just a sad story about the end of some great characters lives. Logan is living in a hideout near the U.S Mexico border caring for the ailing professor X and working as a chauffeur. He is angry, mean, exhausted, addicted to pills and alcohol, his body is failing and he's just fed up with the world. Patrick Stewart as X is now a bumbling useless old man, on drugs to control his "spells." Their sheltered existence comes to an end when a young mutant girl arrives and needs their help to stay safe -she is very good as a sort of young, feral version of wolverine.
Anyways trudging through, this ends in a road trip into Mexico, lots of violence, Logan F bombs and is super grumpy. More mutant kids show up, kinda like Mad Max, there is no humour or even a glimpse of hope. I can't understand why this particular story ever came to film or why the high ratings? Depressing.

A small town is shaken after a young girl by the name of Hannah Baker commits suicide. Exactly 1 week later, 13 tapes containing the reasons her suicide happened are released in secret, for only 13 people to listen to. This is the setup for one of the best books I have read, 13 Reasons Why. After reading the book, I watched the Netflix series based on the book, and was pleasantly surprised. "The book is always better" is a phrase that cannot be attached to the show, because I loved every second of it. The character development, choice to tell the story through flashbacks, and plot twists come together in perfect harmony to give you a show worth watching over and over again. In fact, I would say skip the book entirely and just watch the show, because the show goes into even better detail than the book ever could have. In short, I highly recommend giving this series a chance, even though it may not be the best.

I have no previous experience with the witcher, but I do like me a good movie, series, you name it. I wantch all kind of genres and would not call myself a movie or tv snob. Joe.shmoe of anything TV related.
Season 1 - Love the backstory, fantasy and the pacing. A good mix of character development and fight scenes.
Season 2 - Keeps things interesting, again pleanty of fighting, decent pace and good character development.
Season 3 - Not sure what happened here, they talk - alot. The character development never ends and nor do the dialgoues. I rarely do this, but i fast forwarded trough most of the season, only stopping to watch anything that seemed suspenseful.
I would call season 3 the bold and the Witcher.
By the way, Im not sure how the witcher was portrayed in the books or games. But Henry IS the witcher.

Just watched it for the fourth time. And again there were little details that I hadn't noticed before. Truly an amazing series.
I loved all of the characters. Good guys and bad guys. Great actors, and a really good story line.
As a MCR Fan I just had to watch this. And I don't regret it.
My favourite thing was probably the music. Beautiful. And it fit so well. I don't think I ever watched a series with an equally good choice of music.

This is the whiners version of GoT. There are no standout characters, there are no standout bad guys or good guys. There is a cast of characters that are tedious, nondescript and just plain boring. Even the dragons are boring. How can you make a dragon boring? I could have taken it for 2 episodes, or even 3 episodes IF it had finally clicked and gotten going but it simply refuses to turn into a compelling drama. As exciting as Game of Thrones was this is its poor, boring little brother. That I made it through 6 episodes is a testament to just how great GoT was. If this were anywhere near that I'd have finished the season. I will not even bother to watch episode 7 or 8.

When the film started out, it was so treacly awful that I was sure this was a gimmick that would be central to the conceit of the movie. And the film does improve slightly on the introduction of the second main character about 15 minutes later. But lo and behold, the script continued to be quite mundane.
It's as if the suits behind the making of this film said, "Just write a whatever script that will propel the set-pieces that will kind of evoke musicals from 50+ years ago."
Script is most important to me, and all the other technical excellence in the movie just doesn't amount to a hill of beans by comparison.

I found the second series so frustrating. Every episode consists of peril, followed by people not explaining themselves, followed by plot hole, then peril, more peril, further lack of sensible communication or actions between characters; then yet more peril. It doesn't stand up to binge watching because of the repetitive nature each episode takes. By the end it felt like a slog and I was bored.

In my prep for Black Widow hopefully coming out in May I decided to watch all of The MCU films and this is one of the most important as Iron Man 2 is the debut for the character and here is my review for the film. The premise of the film sees Tony Stark have to deal with declining health while a man from his fathers past comes for revenge.
Main Character Robert Downey Jnr is back as Tony Stark and what can you really say of course he is great, this was the character he was born to play and he continues his great work here. You can tell he is allowed to ab-lib a lot of his lines and he is so charismatic and I like how despite him now being more of a heroic figure he is still a bit of an egotistical narcissist but it fits his character. He goes through plenty of drama in this film and he does a good job with it and you feel sorry for him as he goes through some pretty bad times in the film.
Supporting Characters Gwyneth Paltrow is back as Pepper Potts and she is once again very good here, the dynamic between her and Downey Jnr is one of the best in The MCU and it really develops nicely and it feels very different from the previous film and like a worthy progression for the characters. Sam Rockwell plays Justin Hammer and for me alongside Downey Jnr is the highlight of the film and just looks like he is having so much fun in the role. His character is a good parallel to Stark and I liked that he was included here and felt that he was a nice change of pace from usual comic book bad guys. Don Cheadle takes the place of Terrence Howard as Rhodey and he is a good addition to the cast with his own character and arc here, I just kind of wish he was given a bit more screen time to shine here. Mickey Rourke plays the big villain and wow he is terrible here, it is well documented that he hated making this film and only did it for the money and it clearly shows. His character is paper thin and the ridiculous accent doesn't help and it is a shame that they couldn't get an actor who wanted to be there. So Scarlett Johansson plays Natasha Romanoff AKA Black Widow for the first time and honestly I don't think she is great here and I don't really think it is her fault. For the most part her character is just someone that Tony Stark can ogle at and it isn't till the end of the film where she gets a bit of time to shine but by then it's too late, luckily she is given much better in the future.
Story There is a personal element to this film and I think in some cases it does work and looks at Tony Stark's legacy and how he will be remembered, it seems to affect him on a more personal level then the first film and that is done effectively. But this films story is let down mainly because of the fact that there is way too much going on, the first film's plot is very effective because it is streamlined and allowed to hit the emotion but this film does the opposite. The film has lots of characters to balance and it spends too much of its time setting up to future franchises that it hurts the overall quality of the film.
Script The script has some good humour in that will make you laugh, I do question how much of it is ab-libbed by the actors but nonetheless I laughed quite a bit in the film. I did compliment the story if the characters but I thought the drama is lacking here, and it doesn't hit the level needed to really make you buy into the emotion. Also having to balance all the different story arcs can't have helped them when having to right this film.
Style The film has some good action scenes that definitely raises the stakes in terms of the scale and allows the film to show Iron Man's more capability. But the pacing of the film is all over the place, the film feels way longer then it needs to and it makes the film at times feel like a drag which a film like this really shouldn't.
Overall Overall, this is a decent comic book film. But after the success of Iron Man it is a big step down and a big example to how bigger doesn't always mean better. It is a necessary watch for fans of Marvel films but if you didn't like the first film then this probably won't convert you.
Rating - 6/10.

While other Animes try to shine with overly exagerated visuals, stupid amounts of power, this show is just beautifully balanced. The concept behind this world is so well thought through, that there is nothing alike out there. Not Naruto, not Death Note, not Dragonball. They all appear stupid compared to Avatar.
The messages, whoch are thought by this show are deep and substantial. The characters are absolutely authentic and all shine with their own strengths and weaknesses. The cultural background and world-building is stunning! The capabilities of the characters are well balanced, yet absolutely creatively developed. The storytelling is heartbreaking, tense and for times really funny! Overall a must-watch, no matter the age!

So a very good ten minutes action start and then typical pilot episode fodder, which is fine it's what is expected. The direction is however, well just odd in places, sometimes half framing half a face. The biggest and weakest talking point is however the racial aspect, which is pathetic, once again the white man is oppressing the black woman, how ridiculous. This is comic book TV, fantasy etc, this is where people go to relax, chill and forget about anything in the real world, not have political singular thoughts thrust upon them. It's meant to be entertaining, especially in the current climate, not alienating.

Seriously the dumbest show on TV... ever. Not funny, not interesting, not entertaining. Nothing. Just a waste of good talented actors with very bad agents.

Just like in sports, male chess players would not have played females chess players. Probably not even now, top ranked male players would not play against females. Their reputation, their ego, would all have fall to the ground if they lose one match.

I would have rated this a 9/10 based on the first half hour. It was like watching a movie, and I actually got a couple good laughs in. I started thinking to myself "huh, pretty good movie - some nudity and depravity, but its kinda funny, and not as bad as some of the reviewers were saying" But then it starts to go downhill, and it goes downhill fast. It sinks to a new level of low that i've never experienced before. My indifference towards the characters shifted to hatred towards them, so why would I want to watch scene after scene after scene of them doing drugs and having sex? OK, I understand Scorsese - The people of Wall Street are excessive, depraved, and uncaring. But that doesn't mean your movie has to be excessive, depraved, and uncaring about your audience's time. This movie made the cast of Jersey Shore look like angels. I question the people who found this movie to be funny and defend it as a "dark comedy" - most of the jokes were based on ruining peoples lives (cheating, stealing money, sexual harassment). What's so funny about that? Who was Scorsese aiming this movie towards?

To start out, I slept through some of the early, pointless, loud, action scenes. Then it got painfully louder, woke me up, and drove me out of the theater for ten minutes. When I returned, the last hour and a half was filled with lines that were swallowed by the actors, missing words mostly at the ends of sentences. I don't know whether they were significant or not, and didn't really care. There were some magnificently created sets and outdoor scenery, which were either too dark or seen for too short a time to enjoy. I happened to have watched a 1922 silent Sherlock Holmes just a day or too earlier, and found it orders of magnitude more watchable.

The Dark Knight Rises? No. This is the most stupid, the most boring installment of what could have been a masterful trilogy. Bad guy number one (Bane) wears a strange rubber device which serves two purposes: one to make his voice difficult to understand and two: to make a loud breathing noise.
And the Gotham PD has no idea that there is a concept known as tactics. And there are flashbang grenades and gas that could be introduced into the sewer system at every manhole.
I can't finish this movie. But I feel confident that my rating is fair.

The Coen Brothers' opus (and they've made some great stuff - everything from Blood Simple to the Big Lebowski was brilliant) is second only to Billy Bob Thornton's incomparable Sling Blade as a fine example of the cinematic arts. Riotous yet subtle black humour, gorgeous snowy locations, stunning and suspenseful action, breathtaking support performances from William H Macy, Peter Stormare and the brilliant Steve Buscemi, and Frances McDormand's charming pregnant Marge Gunderson combine to make this the coolest movie you're ever likely to see. Rent it now, and see why the Coens are the kind of American filmmakers that they take notice of at Cannes.

Fiercely hyped from the get-go, Logan carries with it a mature tone and the knowledge that it is The Last Wolverine Movie. Everyone is rough and ragged and tired. Unfortunately the mature tone of most of the film is diluted with the kind of comic book silliness seen in the other X-Men films (i.e. clones, evil scientists), so it's hard to accept scenes of beloved characters feeling intense emotions when they are immediately followed by adolescent ultraviolence in a campy situation. It's an okay flick, but its general acceptance by fans as a great movie shows that the bar isn't set high enough.

Amazing plot , script everything!!!! BUT if the series will not be realised in 2021 I will bump it , its not worth 1 and a half years of my life for 8 episodes!!! Seriously its 8 episodes. I understand that its difficult but all the other series AND movies are filming normally but this one no?? I just don't understand.

Do not take 20th century audience for granted!! I thought at least this is a good movie with content. Disappointed when I saw our deity being ridiculed. To bring out humour why desperately targeting Hindu sentiments?

The worst movie I've ever watched! This is the first film I've given such a low rating. The movie is so bad I've took some of my precious time to write my first review on IMDB, to help others not to make this same mistake.
This is very overrated and i don't know why.
Don't get me wrong, the cinematography, costumes, visual efects are really great and the scenarions, trenches, buildings are completely immersive and full of details but the movie itself is boring, the story has a slow development and the end is very disapointing.
Soundtrack is ok.
I cannot express how much disapointed I am, nearly 2 hours of movie that could be shortened to half an hour.

The first 2 or 3 seasons of Modern Family had a lot to offer. A strong cast, sharp wit and reasonably interesting storylines. Predictably, the show then dragged on far too long and by the end it became truly abysmal. This is not the only American sitcom to suffer this fate but there's still no excuse for it.
I loved the performances from Ty Burrell and Eric Stonestreet and was always quite impressed with the child actors but beyond that the show quickly became stale and repetitive. The stereotypes around gays, Latin Americans and black people are as cringy as Phil himself. It's not that I'm a triggered snowflake or anything, it's just not very funny.
5 seasons would have been acceptable, 6 at a push. But 11? Seriously? Why do they always ruin these shows like this? Anyway, there's enough to like about the early seasons but once Luke's voice drops, get out of there.

Been waiting for this one so bad..and..ohhhh,such a waste of time :( I loved part 1 and the trailer on part 2 was promising, what happent (?!) The scenario was bad,the acting was bad,they all seem very tired and not motivated to play their roles. :( You need to redo this movie! Its a shame.

Ben Affleck had every reason to look sheepish and expect the audiences at the Toronto International Film Festival (where 'Argo' debuted) to hate him for what he did. Not sure why they applauded. Basically, Affleck co-opted history to create a fiction that Americans saved the hostages in Iran in 1979. NOT TRUE: It was the Canadian Embassador to Iran, Kenneth Taylor, at great peril to himself and his colleagues and family. No other country would help them. If you want to see what really happened, watch the Canadian 1981 television film, "Escape from Iran: The Canadian Caper" which dramatizes the cover story for the operation.

Could be better with the writing beacause in order to really understand and fell the movie there shouldnt be some logical mistakes. I am sure if you watch it you will understand. Acting was good Natasha was great. A little diffrent than the usual. There are better tv shows out there

Im sorry, i do rate tarantino but OUATIH is missing too much for it to be enjoyable. Tarantino has never worked with linear plot but it never seemed to matter because the artistry, dialogue and individuality carried the films (pulp fiction etc) but this is no longer the case. Yes the cinematography and the mood is great but the rest is just boring. The multitude of irrelevant western scenes last for hours on end (why so many for so long) and so many other scenes do not stand up on their own (why does damian lewis arrive? And the little girl?). Im not being cynical but the film lacks any power or meaning and little enjoyment.

Due to the ratings here on IMDb which at the moment is a roaring 9.0 out of 10, I expected this to be an amazing show, a huge step up from the previous "tv" shows that disney had made earlier this year.
This is however not the case, the best parts of the show are Owen and Tom, and after the 3 episodes i've watched in a row, i still dont remember Owen's characters name, nothing against Owen however, i think he's great. Tom is likewise, but suffers the same problems as Owens character, that is they don't really do anything, they are just there to talk, about nothing at all.
There's a saying that goes like this: "you say a lot of words, yet you say nothing at all" And that could summarise 50% of this season, of which there will be 6 episodes in total.
Anyway, the episodes are long and drawn out with about as much substance as a really nice looking carton box filled with air, with nothing much happening apart from flashy effects.
This show is pointless to watch, and should never have been released to the public.

Refreshingly good. It does use some standard tropes but overall it's filled with interesting and original takes on the genre. It has some jump scares but doesn't overdo them. Uses psychology and emotions well and serves as possibly an interesting metaphor for dealing with grief and loss.
Synopsis: Talk to Me is a 2022 Australian supernatural horror film directed by Danny and Michael Philippou and written by Danny Philippou and Bill Hinzman, based on a concept by Daley Pearson. It stars Sophie Wilde, Alexandra Jensen, Joe Bird, Otis Dhanji, Miranda Otto, Zoe Terakes, Chris Alosio, Marcus Johnson, and Alexandria Steffensen. The film follows a group of teenagers who discover they are able to contact spirits using a mysterious embalmed hand, only for one of them to take things too far.

This show was great, had all of the dark and morbid humor of the original Addams Family shows and movies. This show was equally enjoyable for my teenaged daughter, my 70 year old mom, and me.
The casting was done very well with one exception.
Really, my only criticism of the movie was that Luis Guzman was an unfortunate choice to play Gomez- not smooth and suave enough to play the part, he made Gomez kind of bumbling and was hard to watch next to Catherine Zeta Jones who was perfect in the role of Morticia... Interesting storyline, plot twists, funny and engaging. I binged the whole show in a few nights.

Well, what's the big deal? Dragon Ball-like special effects? The emancipation of selfishness as the greatest "virtue"? C´mon, you don't learn anything from this movie. It's bubble gum for the eyes: useless. The only interesting idea is that about that reality is not what we think. Well, I liked the quid and spider-like robots. But, the story? Bah: nobody helps nobody in this movie (above all, that super-egocentric "Neo" character). And, oh, yes, it's TOO violent, much, much more than what it needed (bullet showers and destroyed buildings were what this pacific world was needing, isn't it?). If you think you are the center of the world, you will love The Matrix. I didn't.
If you want a really good sci-fi movie, go for 12 Monkeys.
2/10

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag as the name suggests is biopic based on the life of the 'FLYING SIKH' Milkha Singh.. Rakesh Oymprakash Mehra has done a brilliant job as he does usual..Farhan Akhtar is the heart and soul of the movie and boy!!! he has done a fantabulous job.. Divya Dutta appears in parts but makes a mark and leaves the audience in tears with her brilliant portrayal of Milkha's sister. this easily is her best performance ever.. Sonam Kapoor is OK in the few scenes she gets.. music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy is superb and takes the narration forward.. rest of cast has done commendable job.. only flaw one finds is the editing part..overall length of movie(3 hrs 10 min) could easily have been trimmed by 20-25 minutes.. overall the movie is superb ranks amongst one of best of this year..definitely recommended.. it makes us proud of this great Indian sporting legend.. 8 stars from my side..

In the Ukrainian language, "Vichnaya Pamyat", means "eternal memory". I was surpriced, that showrunners, named last episode in transliteration, surpriced in good way. It reminds me my school years, my first school show, in 6th grade - about Chernobyl. I was stunned, back then. Every time I read, or watch, or listen about Chernobyl, I got emotional, just because I was young and also, because I was young, I didn't understand everything that happened in 1986. And last episode just reminds me why I should. For memory, for "pamyat".
And I'm thankfull to watch this. Because we still, living in the world, or better say "part of world", where truth is nothing more than a word. Yesterday, 5 years old little boy, Ukrainian boy, died in clinic. He died because of two drunk policemen (and probably because of 14 years old son, of one of these cops) who had fun and kiled him with their gun. And you know what? The gun is oddly "disappered" and these mureders could get away with. But not this time, people won't let it happen. So you're wondering now, why I wrote about this kid? Because suffering. Common people always suffering because of authority. Like today, like 33 years ago. Same. But in some day, it will be changed. I believe in it. We will come for them, for every of them and they will pay. And the only way is - to remember. Remember everything, every insult, every tragedy and fight for the truth! That's how I felt when I ended up watching it, with much gratitude for those, who fought then, who gave me the opportunity to live freedom, healthy and I will remember it.

This movie is so lame it hurts my teeth. It's for loser hip people who like to think a movie like this is cool or whatever, but it's a bunch of tripe. This and adaptation are an abomination of 'entertainment', a bunch of poop. thank god i don't have to watch this stuff again. Go watch the Mack instead. This thing is really a dookie on the face of what a movie should be. Miserable people in a miserable situation having no fun, but then falling in love, sorta, while all around them is shallow and they find meaning or whatever... i would rather eat my own socks than watch this movie. Um, I have to keep going so i will mention that i gave it 1/10.

the only interesting thing about this movie was Laura. I am a huge wolverine fan however this was a real disappointment. The movie was really slow with minimum actions, yes we understood that logan is old however he was beat-up too many times, even by normal thugs.
It appeared as if the movie was made to bid farewell to Hugh Jackman. Honestly this was the worst version of the entire wolverine series.
If you are too sentimental about hugh jackman and wolverine then OK, if you want to be realistic then movie had poor plot/screenplay/story and minimum action.
if you still want to Watch it then watch it for Laura.
Also the movie has no post-credit scene so don't wait up like i did.

Very weak plot, totally unnecessary movie. Not even the effects were appealing. A real pity to waste such a great cast this way. It should have been much better.

Any actual criticism that can be levied at season 2 of the boys is drowned out by a sea of people calling literal Nazi bashing "woke". Real self report guys.

I was really looking forward to this show however it really is slow in pace which is very annoying as it seems to get interesting just as the episode ends rather than for the full episode! With a bit of luck now that season 1 ended the script writers will have improved for season 2 and give the viewer a full episode of entertainment rather than 5 minutes!
After waiting with great anticipation of Season 2 I am greatly disappointed. It appears the writers can not decide on where to take this series and have opted into the period drama that sadly adds Nothing to the story confuses what the hell it is about and only made each episode Barron of any excitement or entertainment, Add to that the Zero chemistry between Mathew and Dianna surely casting could see their partnership just wasn't going to work!
Considering they had the cast to develop a good fantasy story they have not bothered to put any thought into this 2nd series A Discovery of Witches it becoming just a Discovery of Lazy unaspiring Writers!
Production saved a lot of money on special effects Vampires seem to just growl witches set fires and wolves well enjoy breakfast it seems I will not be surprised if this Series is Canned!
So season 3 and unsurprisingly the last season ! Well if episode 1 is any indication of episodes to come then we will continue the snoooze fest that has been this show it continues at a snails pace with no action and considering this show is about Demons Witches Vampires and Werewolves it is nothing short of mind blowing how there is zero action to mention. Seems the Special effects budget was on a par with the magic section of Toys R Us !I will continue to watch and fast forward through most of it just to know what the end holds as I am still bemused what the story is about even now on season 3? My original rating on first season was a generous 7 but as this show continued it was obvious it was never going to improve and so the rating declined inline with the entertainment value!

Okay, I really enjoyed this movie however, I thought the movie would of been more intense like the girl with the dragon tattoo movie.
Awesome move with great humour. I couldn't watch it again though.

Think of all the cliches you might have seen in Top Gun, mix them up a bit and Hey Presto, a new film, Some decent flying scenes, but interspersed with the 'This'll cost you your job', 'You're the best' and 'This is the modest superhero you need to look up to" speeches, together with My Hated Colleague is Now My Best Friend and We Are A Great Team Which We Weren't When We Met plots, and you have Maverick. But it all works out in the end as the All American Hero saves the planet. Again.
I really like Tom Cruise, love Mission Impossible films, but this misses the target for me.

To cut to the chase, this movie is entirely forgettable. I feel that there's a huge bias towards loving Nolan's films among critics, as he's deemed the best of the best, and as such, reviewers will, subconsciously maybe, adapt their opinions to suit this fact. It has happened before: Which movie was best, The Dark knight, or the Dark knight Rises? Correct, The Dark Knight. Yet, when TDKR arrived, it was so hyped that an explosion of unfounded positive reviews spewed everywhere. It was definitely a good movie. But it was also NOT near as good as The Dark knight, a fact most have come to realize in the following years.
I have loved basically all of Nolan's movies. This time though, a yawn too many escaped my mouth, and not from a lack of sleep. The movie has great acting, although it is quite simple to be fair. Not a lot of emotion or character development is present, so it would be hard to judge talent based on performances of this film. The thing that keeps the movie fairly enjoyable is it's awesome visuals and musical scores. You are not in doubt you are watching a Nolan film; the editing, lighting, and audio track is an art in itself.
Unfortunately, these positive aspects are not able to compensate for the almost complete lack of storytelling and excitement throughout the movie. The brief scenes of suspense and action are quickly watered out by long sections of mundane actions by the characters. There is no palpable red line throughout, keeping the baseline interest in the movie at quite a low level. No real story is told, it's more of a depiction of a historical event.
I believe the creation of this movie is an attempt to show how young, inexperienced, and human the soldiers of WWII really were. It wants to portray bravery and weakness of civilians and soldiers alike. It does succeed, but if only the movie was not so dull in doing so. Most of Nolan's movies I've watched at least two times, but I don't think I will revisit this one.
People have compared this film to Saving Private Ryan and other WWII all-time greats, which in my mind is utter crazy talk. Watch Dunkirk and Saving Private Ryan back to back, and if you still hold the same opinion, I promise you we will never agree on anything. This movie's IMDb score, along with the Dark Knight Rises', are, in my opinion, inflated to proportions that do not match their quality.

I've just been to see this film and whilst I consider it to be good and I enjoyed it, I am absolutely amazed at the fantastic write-ups that it has had. It was exciting, well made with a great performance by Heath Ledger, it also had many flaws. The main one, for me, was that, after several serious Batman films, this one, more than any other, ignores the fact that it is supposed to be fun.
There were so many sub-plots and complications, including an intensely boring analysis of the meaning of heroism. Cynical violence was also taken to new levels (how did it get a 12A rating in the UK?) and, except for Heath, the acting performances were very average. Was Christian Bale supposed to be the star? The action sequences were good, but of the type that have been seen many times before (car and bike chases, flying between tall buildings etc) and there was nothing really special.
I am very suspicious about the 70% plus of people that seem to have given this 10 out of 10 and cannot see how this has happened.

Further proof that the writers at Marvel are running out of original ideas, and stuffing these movies with cliched dialogue and action set-pieces that we've seen many times before. The first 40 mins drag... it's badly scripted and paced, and can only appeal to children with short attention spans. The acting by the main stars (Even Benedict, yes) is below par and lines delivered with the enthusiasm of an audit.
But seriously, it does seem that Marvel can't make a stand-alone Spiderman movie without giving him other superheroes to help him out with the plot. He's a weak hero - there, i said it. His range is minimal and his "teenage problems" are fast becoming dated and irrelevant. Marvel are in decline and it's looking like they went "too hard, too early", with the Avengers.
Ultimately, this is a kids' movie. Fans of Spiderman and Marvel will rush to defend this film, but make no mistake: this was a poor outing by Marvel. If you want to compare recent comic book hero movies then look no further than The Batman, then step back, take a deep breath and realise how bad this film is.

This is a good Sci-fi programme with good characters. The story line is also well done. But Dr. Smith has been made to irritate in every scene and make everyone else who wasnt in the first season seem idiotic.

This was okay, probably a 6 or 7, but the reviews on this are ridiculous. Its a cartoon people not the next coming of cinema.
If I wouldn't of known it won academy awards I would of thought it was made for morning cartoons.
Nothing great, don't believe the hype.

The dialogue was often non-sensical or a thinly veiled info-dump. The plot was completely uninteresting. The only thing going for this movie is it had a star-studded cast. I think some people want to argue that the movie is actually genius and it's just going over people's heads. It's not... it's just a bad movie. I can put a fake mustache on a banana and say "look, this is art. If you don't get it then maybe you're just not big brain like me", but that doesn't change the fact that there nothing actually special or good about it. If you have to think, "hm maybe I just don't understand that this movie is actually good", then the movie failed to do it's job in my opinion.

For whom didn't know chess at all, I still addicted to this drama. Beth Harmon casted by Anya did an excellent job to show Beth's cleverness and characters. I think if you know the chess can understand the narrates and totally found it more interesting. The grow up path of Beth I think not many of us would understand as long as you are also a genuine. It's not lonely in her case.

The book was relatively good. I was intrigued when I heard about the adaption . I must say I'm very dissapointed. Not because it doesn't match my book impression but because it is just so plain, tedious and boring. I just couldn't finish it unfortunately. I guess I should give it a go again, reading other raving reviews, but not sure I'm willing to waste any more time on mediocracy .

The movie is brilliantly shot, the action scenes are awesome so is the cast. Chris Hemsworth was superb as always. I also liked the part of Randeep Hooda.
But, attention to details were way off the track. The whole set looks nothing like Dhaka except for few drone shots. I wouldn't mind if the plot wasn't revolved around Dhaka. The whole story was about rescuing a boy from a gangster based in Dhaka. So the movie should've felt like it's happening in Dhaka. The Bengali accent was inaccurate, the accent used in this movie is from West Bengal, India not from Bangladesh. Child terrorism was never a thing in Bangladesh but the movie clearly emphasized on it. The roads, police, vehicles, locations, buildings, and even the commonly used Bengali fonts on banners and posters are from West Bengal. So this is not nearly an accurate depiction of Dhaka. A slight mismatch would be considerable but this is completely messed up!
However, only the people from Bangladesh will feel this way. Everyone else will love this movie. I complained about those things because we have better expectation from big movie industries when it comes to attention to details. And Extraction missed the big picture, details come way later.

At first we prayed that this was just a very dull start and so we persisted. Until it was too late to quit. Then we just prayed it would quickly end. Nothing new, witty, smart, funny, or cool about this movie. Not even one scene to remember. Someone please tell me what was the point of this movie? I guess the charm of the mom had its charming moments but with all the good television and movies out there today why would anyone want to choose their 2+ hours be spent on something like this. Hopefully we continue to type this out to reach the minimum characters will be worth it in that I save at least one soul the burden of this "oscar film".

The acting, special effects, and cinematography are all good.
The real objection I have to the movie is the extreme violence depicted, and the fact that it's largely perpetrated by children. I went into the theater fully understanding that the X-men movies have always been rather violent, but this movie takes it to Kill Bill levels without the compelling story and dialog to go with it.

Alright, by saying this movie has no action, of course, this kinda movie won't really have the same action as a movie about super heroes. But there was literally nothing interesting about this movie, it was very slow paced, with only a couple of good scenes. Although the movie was incredibly well filmed and had great scenery, landscapes and everything from that aspect was very well taken care of. But the story as a whole didn't really seem appealing. The ending was kinda random as well, wanted to see more in-depth background of the slave owners, maybe other slaves, but it was only centered around Solomon, which is fine, but for a movie that long, it gets a little bit too boring and hard to sit-through. The story could have been way more diverse, hence making the movie more complex and so straight forward, after watching it you literally have nothing to think about, just like .. meh, a cool movie.

When Inception was released my initial feeling was that I ought to see it as it seemed to be well thought of. I delayed, as I always do as films today are invariably over hyped, and in the end decided not to waste my hard earned cash. Recently, I decided to buy some cheap dvds and among them was Inception.
I have now seen the film and it confirmed all my previous suspicions about it. I fail to see how it has gained such a high figure (8.9) with the IMDb audience and wish to alert prospective buyers that it is not a Sci-Fi classic by any means. I found it to be too clever by half, far too complicated and definitely too long. Special effects were very impressive but there were not many of them and they did not save the film.

The inner struggle between venom and brock as they try to reconcile their own differences, and their individual outlook on life combined with their external struggle with chocolate, love life and the rest including carnage, is a great way to build character development. Because we understand their inner struggle and desires we know how much harder it is on them in the external world and the plot.
The way that we go through the inner narative of brock and venom, in parallel to developing Cletus's romantic relationship to Shreik and his symbiotic relationship to carnage, is a great way to show parallel script writing and use of cinematic editing to develop the converging Anti-hero's journey to battle his Son and nemesis.
The father son relationship between carnage and venom, and the toxicity that is made of all the characters with incompatible relationships, is a great way to build up the tension throughout the film before the final battle and convergence of all conflicts from the parallel stories.
Venom is struggling to be compatible with his symbiotic host brock, as is Cletus and Carnage. Venom is struggling with his ex as she is about to marry someone else and he still hs feelings for her. And Cletus is forcfully kept away from his one love as he desperately want to break himself and her free from the shackles of the government. All these toxic relationships and the final battle at the end of this film gives the viewer a satisfying ending. Not to mention the excitingly news in the post credit scene.
This film deserves 5 stars for its parallel story structure and great character development along with cinematic cross editing between unfolding character plots that ultimately converge for an final epic battle.

Heath Ledger is the only strong point of this film. And not because it is customary to think so. And not because Heath's life was tragically cut short after this film, but about the dead is either good or nothing. Not! Ledger's performance is truly commendable. I really liked Ledger's portrayal of the Joker. He managed to create an interesting, charismatic and memorable character to the smallest detail. And that's great.
But there was also a weakness in the film, which negatively affected both the very image of the Joker and the film as a whole. And this is the weak side - the script. The script seemed to me very ordinary. And the plot looked already very grayish. And as I have already pointed out, even the image of the Joker reflected this dullness and mediocrity. The full potential and evil genius of this character was not revealed.
And this is very sad. After all, a great script could make a movie brilliant. And in the end it turned out that the Joker really became the Joker for the film - that lucky card that made the film one of the best Batman films.

Aside from the fact, everyone behaves like it is a camping trip gone astray...rather than an interstellar journey for mankind...It is that Will Robinson himself is the source of pretty much every conundrum. He is like the cowardly kid from walking dead....but not eaten by Zombies...I just think a whiny cowardly kid & a text book scammer douche (Parker Posey..awesome in Guest films) are not the characters to build a huge reboot around...it will get cancelled. How the hell do they still give millions to people who make bad tv?...maybe they should just hire the same people from Game of thrones, Breaking Bad, Walking Dead, The Wire etc

I'm sure there are fans of this series. I'm sure they think it's 'state of the art'. It's not. No surprises, no story, no script, clumsy, telegraphed and poorly executed fight scenes. Unimaginative action sequences. Wooden acting. Destined for the bargain bi of your local dvd store at best. Give it a miss until then.

Having read the beloved series, I was expecting loads from this film. I was O.K with the series so far; just not liking the structures of the 2nd and 6th. The 6th was a major disappointment and I REALLY wanted something much better. This film is what I got as a spectacular result.
'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1' is a sophisticated cinematic experience as well as boasting. Featuring great performances, joyous thrills, and dazzling effects; it also remains known as (for me) the darkest and best out of them all. Wow, what an adaptation...
Making this film well worth the watch are notably well-orchestrated performances. From little 12-year old's to mature 17 year old's is a huge transition. Yet, its very well performed. Radcliffe, Watson, and Grint; give performances that seem to show their hidden talents. Radcliffe is good, but still better than what I saw of him in the last 6 movies. He is charming, reluctant, and efficient. Grint is also the same; adding nostalgic humorous moments throughout the film; as well as maturity ones. Watson is great; having improved the same as the other two.
The thrills throughout this film are unbelievably appraisal. The 'jump-out-of-your-seat' scares are VERY well-done. Making them even better are the dazzling effects and visuals. So, beautifully filmed and pretty scary! Overall, this is the best 'Potter' you'll see yet, mainly because of more maturity and darkness than the other ones. It's a thrilling ride that's well acted and genuinely directed. A perfect example of a great book adaptation. Man...I just can't wait for Part 2!

I can only tell about the first 45 minutes, we then left the cinema, as we say here in Israel: There is a limit to what one can take. this is a terrible movie, so boring, most of the people in the audience played games on their phones. the ballet part was so ridicilous, so bad! Lawrence - whom i adore - with her fat legs seemed like a 6 years old fatty girl fighting with some ballet moves. the CIA were a joke, really? this is what the writer thinks of the CIA? So why 4 stars and not less? we get to see some of Moscow, Lawrence naked, alltogether 4 stars .....

I don't believe you will find too many people out there proclaiming the cinematic virtues of the first Venom film from 2018 but if you found the first Tom Hardy starring comic book adaptation a guilty pleasure watch then I'm sure the antics of this surprising box office hit will hit just the right spots with it offering up material very much the same as the first run around as Hardy's hyperactive and jittering Eddie Brock and his symbiote companion Venom bicker and face dangerous new threat Cletus Kasady and his symbiote Carnage.
With actor/director Andy Serkis taking the reigns behind the scenes from the films first director Ruben Fleischer, there was a chance for Let There Be Carnage to do things a little differently this time around but Serkis and his main man (who also gets credit as one of the films story creators) are content from the get go to ensure their effort plays out much in the same way as before, with the tale of Brock/Venom going head to head with Kasady/Carnage feeling like a rinse and repeat of Fleischer's mid-tier affair that was watchable, if anything but memorable.
Once more a highlight of proceedings here, in a film that appears to have been edited and trimmed to within an inch of its life in a story that never once pauses for any type of breath, particularly as it races towards a bizarrely out of the blue finale, is the performance of Hardy and the interactions he has with his alien friend.
Almost like some bizarre bromantic comedy hybrid, witnessing Hardy bicker amongst himself and his often painful friend is an odd joy to behold and when the film lets its main attraction steal the spotlight, Let There Be Carnage showcases just what Marvel could have on its hands should it allow its wild character time to properly go about his business and while its fun also to see Woody Harrelson chew up some scenery as Kasady and play off Hardy, their enthusiasm isn't enough to cover up the films many other various weaknesses.
With its rushed story, CGI infested action scenes that are edited like Michael Bay broke into the editing suite after consuming a slab of Red Bull and a sense that all characters bar Brock are half explored at best, Let There Be Carnage harbors all the disappointing elements of the first film, making one walk away from this ride satisfied in the most basic of ways but wishing that Hardy and his wild-eyed turn could get a Venom film he and the character really deserves.
Final Say -
Put simply if you liked the first Venom, Let There Be Carnage is sure to satisfy your symbiote needs once more but after two outings that have failed to properly hit the mark, the adventures of Eddie Brock and company are running out of chances to make things work in a sustainable way.
2 1/2 man of the cloth out of 5.

I loved the first Venom & i also really enjoyed this fast-moving sequel, it's a damn good thrill ride with a more faster moving story & shorter running time. Hey both Venom films are Awesome fun.
No bloated superhero epic here & that was so refreshing & felt 90's old school. Also the film looks fantastic just like the first film so that was nice that the visual style was continued & that the lovely San Francisco setting was kept. Everything looks great & so it should with the ridiculously mega budgets these Marvel films get. "Carnage" is alot of fun with many humourous moments & kinda feelgood feel to the film which i liked alot. Venom is full of fun & winds up Eddie most of the time like a weird double-act but within one person lol. Comedy & special effects are what makes this Venom film stay very entertaining. Yeah the first mega-hit Venom is probably/maybe the best of the two for it's story, main villain & first interactions between Eddie & Venom but this sequel is only just behind it for a fun piece of fantasy entertainment & at it's heart it's a buddy movie. Tom Hardy also looks best here as Eddie with his Beverly Hills Cop style jacket that just gives him an 80's feel & feels iconic right away. I still think the first Venom is the better film of the two but hey i love these Venom flicks & need more lol.
Tom Hardy is excellent again as Eddie Brock who this time is investigating a serial killer, played by Woody Harrelson, whilst still Tryin to live his crazy life with Venom. The fun definitely comes from the interactions between Eddie & Venom & there's lots of fun moments & the two are a really nice team to watch on screen, so much so that i hope there's more Venom films in the works. Yes this Action-packed sequel works because of the Eddie & Venom relationship but it's also nice to see everyone else back again to help Eddie (his Ex & Dan) & this time their up against that serial killer when he escapes from Death Row with a new Symbiote inside of him called Carnage, a deadly Red one, & there's lots of Action & stunningly beautiful special effects. I enjoyed the scenes where Venom goes out alone without Eddie & ends up in Clubs & things. The villain is of course played by Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kasady, it's a pretty decent performance for what it is but it's also nothing particularly special as Woody feels miscast, he's not a strong enough presence to play the villain here & is zero intimidating or scary at all but that doesn't really matter because it's Carnage that is Awesome when he's on screen & i just love watching Eddie & Venom no matter who their fighting.
Michelle Williams is very good again as Eddie's ex Anne & is such a strong actress & a welcomed presence. I still love the relationship between Eddie & his ex & her fiancee Dan. It's the fantastic look of Venom & Carnage that standout magnificently on screen & the end fight sequence is Awesome & very Gothic in style with it's abandoned church setting.
Also a welcome surprise was the great British actor Stephen Graham as the main Detective of the film, that guy is a fantastic actor. Naomie Harris as another villain named Shriek who was ok in her part but nothing special.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage is a faster paced movie than the first & with the characters we love so alot of fun to be had with this fun piece of Popcorn Blockbuster entertainment.

The old saying too many cooks spoil the broth springs to mind. Here there are too many plot elements and redundant characters. Mickey Rourke looks impressive but, like everything else here, is wasted in a film which tries to cram too much in. Whiplash, Black Widow, Nick Fury, Justin Hammer, War Machine are all quickly introduced and then scantly used. The first fight at the race track between Whiplash and Stark is the highlight but could have been so much better. For instance, we see Pepper Potts driving to deliver Iron Man's armour to him in the opposite direction to the race cars. This could have been an exhilarating scene worth of The French Connection, but not much is made of it. It is not well explained what Whiplash has against Stark. Then comes Hammer, a dull corporate villain very similar to the dull corporate villain in the first film. Why can't Hollywood get beyond these off the peg evil capitalists? A fight with another Iron Man. Some secret agents. Then more Iron men. A lot of gimmicky effects. Nothing we haven't seen many times before.

Absolute waste of MBs... from beginning to end this film is an absolute train wreck filled CGI and cardboard versions of every character you liked in the past. Sad to see such good actors work with biased director and a lazy script that wants your money worse than an American college. I would wish for nothing more than for these movies to actually be good because my mom really likes them and I'd like to not blow my brains out by the time the next chapter "JK Rowling's capitalist hold on there's a plot here somewhere" franchise.

Everyone has a right to their own opinion... But I'm sorry, you're either a "hater" of everything or you're living under a rock to give this show a 1/10. Go watch some more desperate housewives or survivor because u don't belong here! Shows & Movies aren't meant to mimic the books. The actors are going to bring their own energy & make the cinematic experience much different from what you concocted in your mind after reading books. DEAL WITH IT! Maybe we need another CSI or lame hospital drama for u haters giving 1/10. I want a world where magic & vampires are real. Palmer & Good are really great together. (oh no, I'm missing the Bachelorette). So much trash on TV. Discovery of Witches is refreshing & intriguing!

The worst movie of the franchise, even the actress are poor..

Lighting up her cigarette with the matchstick lying deserted from its owner, Anushka, with the slightest hold on to the edge of her sanity and an enigmatic facial expression, picks up the inanimate steel built strut from the ground and with the shrill, clanging sound of the steel being dragged along the concrete road, she lays down the groundwork for her revenge.
Navdeep Singh has not only made the most out of a road trip gone wild but has also filled in each of the scenes a continual thrill, of psyche driving in a meandering path of moral uncertainty and of the exceptional screenplay with Darshan Kumaar as the village ruffian and Sharma as the shackle breaker.
Keeping itself as the very point of interest throughout its complete time span of a near-2 hour crime drama, the movie becomes more and more worthy of your extol as you seek deeper through the story. While staying perfectly true to realism, NH10, with excellent direction, a finely crafted story and brilliant performances, shines as Singh's undiluted masterpiece.
9/10.

I Saw Civil War Last night and i loved it. I Think civil war mixes technology with action and that is just so cool. I Loved the way ant man shrank that was just so awesome. It is the best movie ever. It is so good it puts a shame to star wars.
I Don't want to tell spoilers because there would be no point in watching it. but i'll tell you who was with iron man and captain America: on iron man's team there was: iron man, vision, black panther,black widow, spider man,war machine. and on cap's team:Captain America,Winter soldier,ant man,falcon,scarlet witch and hawkeye. Also You know in the winter soldier movie brock rumlow? Well he appeared as crossbones Also played by Frank Grillo. I Also liked helmut zemo just because of his accent.

The camera work is definitely good. Tension build up in most scenes also pretty good. At certain points in the movie you feel the horrors of trench war.
The story line begins promising but throughout the journey it misses a lot and for me it wasn't important any more. That left me with hope for good action scenes but unfortunately that also did not worked out the way I hoped for. I think the makers aimed for a to big audience and included the younger viewers who cant handel the gore. If you really want to make a realistic movie about war and battle with lots of detail you should go all the way in my opinion (for example "full metal jacket"). But this movie is not all the way, this is a good halfway. Way to prude as they say in Britain.
It could be a really intense good war movie do. Too bad

Taking its cue from the burgeoning geek vogue, Superbad audiences will get what they came in for: an extended barrage of brainless fun.
When they were still 13 years old, Seth Rogen (Knocked Up) and Evan Goldberg wrote the screenplay about two high school seniors, aptly named Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera), who are at a crossroads in their lives: slacker Seth will not be going to the same college as the more studious Evan, who will be going to Dartmouth. The boys deal with their separation anxiety on top of managing to get some illegally-obtained booze for a party they have miraculously been invited to by the girls of their dreams.
Seth Rogen also appears as Officer Michaels and Bill Hader as Officer Slater, who somehow get embroiled after stumbling in on the hilarious attempt of Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) to buy the booze with a fake ID posing as 'McLovin'.
If you plan to enjoy this flick, leave all pretensions at the door. Superbad is what it is: the jokes are crass, but spot on. The connection between the best friends seem very genuine, so despite all the gross out moments, they still make for ridiculously fun geeks.

I understand what this movie is about but just because it's obtuse doesn't mean it's good. It suffers horrendously from pacing issues. No clever, witty dialogue, which is Tarantino's stock in trade. I don't like Brad, which doesn't help, but how the hell he won an academy award for this defies logic.. a pity Pitt award? Watched it on Amazon Prime and ended up cleaning the inside of the fridge out of sheer boredom. The only redeeming aspect of this borefest is the trip down memory lane with late 69's TV and movies. Very disappointed.

Dull and far too long, Ridley Scott's space opera has virtually no suspense and little by way of emotional involvement; where tears of joy should be flowing, all you feel is cold and disinterested. Matt Damon (usually reliable; here, vapid and one-note) plays an astronaut/botanist who is left for dead on Mars by his crew (led by Jessica Chastain, equally monotonous--where is the adventurous actress from "The Tree Of Life" and "Zero Dark Thirty"?) and is forced to use his gee-whiz skills to survive while NASA figures out how to get him back. There seems little at stake in Scott's dramatic telling: every calamity that befalls the main character is simply another setback which seems to have no impact on him: you're given the notion that rationing is forcing him to thin out, yet Damon's physique never changes; and for all the talk in Drew Goddard's screenplay about the tremendous stress Damon is under, he shows very little sign of it. Goddard's script (based on Andy Weir's wildly popular novel, unread) is filled with lots of technical jargon and celebrates the geekiness of the characters (the absentminded genius geek here is played by a wasted Donald Glover) but they're not nearly interesting enough to sympathize with or even caricatures you can laugh at. And the film's basic conceit--long-term survival on another planet--seems too spurious to make an entire film from; you're left to assume the science of the endeavor has its basis in fact and that the jargon bandied about is enough above the average viewer's head (at least it is to this head) to seem realistic. But who knows? Sure, "Insterstellar" had just as much conjecture as "The Martian" but Christopher Nolan's sincerity and heart won you over. Here, Scott's technical bravura is on full display but he has little interest in being anything other than a technician--what should be a lush, romantic, crowd-pleasing adventure instead is rendered limp and hollow, an exercise gorgeous to look at and not much else.

Crimes of Grindelwald wanted to be so much that it ended up being so little. I'm not sure who should've been the focus of this movie. Newt was in Paris because... Dumbledore told him to go there? But conveniently Tina was also there? Jacob's memory was never erased? Queenie has love problems and goes to Grindelwald for help? The characters didn't move the plot, the plot moved the characters, and that is lazy writing 101.

Congratulations Netflix, You did it again!
"13 Reasons Why" was so great in season 1 and should have ended there. The series was dragged for a 2nd season, OK!, as long as Hannah was in it.
But that, season 3, is such a mess, especially with that Ani ! that words are short of describing the situation. British accent, terrible look, terrible acting, terrible talking, in fact nothing is there in her favor, notwithstanding most ridiculous reasons and logic to shove her in the series in its 3rd season.
Why should great series continue with nonsense scripts, be damaged to the core and milked bare until no greatness is left and only muddy and trashy memories remain..
Please do yourself a favor and skip season 3, unless you enjoy constantly falling asleep while at the same time grinding your teeth noisily.

This is not a science fiction film. It is a vaguely pretty puff piece, that goes absolutely nowhere, says absolutely nothing and constantly irritates while doing so, with its lack of narrative, vagueness and utterly boring finale.
It isn't true to say there are flaws in this film, because the entire thing is so fundamentally flawed and devoid of logic as to render the term meaningless. This is a vehicle for pretty graphics, nothing more.
It does look pretty though so, hey if you're into CGI art then maybe you'll like it.
Me? I thought it was a steaming, stinking turkey of a movie.

Buy a selection of wooden spoons a roll of string and various materials to use later for costumes.
Load up Pre 2008 editing software for a under performing PC.
Drill two holes at the top of spoons one centre left and one centre right.
Thread a piece of string trough each hole.
Create interesting costumes with pre brought material.
Connect Polaroid to under performing PC and associated software (check camera is on).
Tie the loose ends of the string to a toilet flush.
Press flush and enjoy!

Very good show and on point. Spice up and good story. Finally an HBO you don't have to find out all the answers in the finale. Keel it up HBO!

There's a certain conceit, a plot mechanism to Russian Doll that I'll try to disguise here, but other reviewers aren't so coy about it. It's interesting in ep1 but quickly tires in ep2 and I was like "are you serious?!" into ep3 but it finally expanded the storyline a bit. In fact, Nadia, our protagonist, finds another in a similar predicament so they try to figure things out. The next few eps are mostly about meaningless encounters but some of it does tie to the end so don't dismiss it so quickly. Towards the end, things get really confusing since you're tossed into a blender of parallel lives and timelines like the Twilight Zone and the Outer Limits on steroids. And the very last scene of the final episode is like what?! I don't know about you but after I watch the conclusion of a series, I want to have a feeling of satisfaction and completion, not one of head-scratching and frustration.

I don't like in action movie when the hero kills an army of people alone, I prefer to make it more realistic, but anyway the film is cool and watchable.

Not worth to say a lot. It was boring, such a waste of 2 hours.

As a westerner that has actually watched quite a few Bollywood films, I was looking forward to seeing Shahrukh, Kajol and Karan team up again. Indeed it was the magic of Kuch, Kuch and the earlier DDLJ that got me watching, and enjoying some Indian cinema.
I'd heard that they wanted to make this film more accessible to western audiences, following the success of the British film "Slumdog Millionaire". Sadly however, this is a huge miss. And their advisers on storyboarding the film should never be hired again. I feel it could only have gotten worse if they had transposed the "Georgia Hurricane disaster" with the more deeply rooted Katrina. In that case I think I would have been laughing at their complete lack of understanding of western culture and simply shaking my head at this poorly scripted story. You need better advisers. I really wanted to like this, I did. The only lift was seeing Kajol in a major role with SK again. She continues to look wonderful on screen. Other than that, this was a terrible reunion. I just hope they get another chance to do something more productive together, and that Fox will give them another go. While this may do well in India, and open initially well the first weekend in the UK. I fully expect the numbers to fall off the cliff.
A better choice for the return of this trio would have been a more rooted story of a Hindi-Muslim couple trying to overcome religious and cultural obstacles in their native India. Although I fear that is every bit as unlikely as this film was.

Being a Gen-X guy, I'm certainly not the target audience for this kind of film. I've played computer and video games since 1987 but this film seems more squarely aimed at easily impressed 15-25 year-old headset-wearing Twitch gamers who haven't already seen THEY LIVE, READY PLAYER ONE, THE TRUMAN SHOW, THE LAST ACTION HERO, or WRECK IT RALPH already. It also feels like the screenplay was penned the DNC itself with a generous helping of annoying wokeness sprinkled in after tossing in the scripts from all those films into a blender.
A cute central idea of a video game NPC acquiring sentience quickly gets derailed by not spending enough time building a believable universe and focusing the movie heavily on the "real world" characters reacting to him. The real world does not feel significantly contrasted from the fake one to the degree of THE LAST ACTION HERO with characters behaving just as cartoonishly and self-righteously in both worlds. For a film with so much incidental violence, it all feels extremely watered down with the video game centered heavily around bank robbery, reminding me of those old Spider-man cartoons. That's probably as "hardcore" of a crime they could base the plot of the game around without getting too close to authentic Grand Theft Auto territory of nonstop debauchery and losing the PG-13 rating. There is, however, plenty of naughty language and CGI explosions to compensate, if that's your thing.
The film contains its share of stunning visuals, so over-rendered that they begin to lose all meaning, laced with so much CGI that it renders any of the real-world stunt work unimpressive. The viewer will come to believe that everything they're watching is pretty much just CGI, as a lot of it is pretty obvious. A few show-stopping moments like a key face replacement late in the film, come off as comically poor considering the near-limitless resources at their disposal. It's really the lack of any thrills, character or universe consistency, tension, or originality that just makes this speedy film (full of lots of fast-talks blazing through exposition) unfortunately dull and empty.
This will likely be another one of those polarizing films that will develop an ardent cult following due to political tribalism. On its merits, this film squanders a good idea and doesn't bring us anything new. It has some pretty visuals and moves quickly enough, but for those of us who fall outside its target demo, that's about it.
