This movie is so unbelievably bad that the only context that I could recommend it is as a "so-bad-that-its-good" movie. Even then its too long and too boring to worth the wonderfully bad moments of hilarity within. Plot - I am extremely hesitant to say that this movie even contains a plot. The script is so unbelievably bad that its hard to believe it was written. I really don't want to blame the screenwriter, because he also wrote Arrival (2016) which was great. Both movies are based on books, so I'm just going to assume that its all in the source material. The book that this was based on must have been terrible though because wow this movie is just so unbelievably bad. I can't believe what I just spent the last 2 hours watching. Its like the writer completely failed to understand what makes horror movies scary. I mean if you're scared of wind, I think that you can get a lot out of this movie. Otherwise, don't watch it. Characters - This movie is listed as a drama, as well as a horror/thriller (which it fails miserably at by not being even remotely scary) but the problem is that it doesn't contain any characters. All of the acting, from both the child and adult actors, is embarrassingly terrible. Honestly I don't blame them. No one is given anything to do. No one has any personalities, backstories, or goals. The weird, time skipping nature of the story doesn't help either. At no point is anyone developed in this movie. Also, sacrificing yourself, being pregnant, or screaming the f bomb all the time are not character traits. This movie is boring. Visuals - This is what $20M burning looks like. This movie has no style or art direction. It just looks like garbage. There are way cheeper movies out there that look so much better. Also, the continuity in this movie is almost nonexistent. From shot to shot there are countless distracting visual errors. I no longer want to talk about this movie or acknowledge it ever. Everything about it is terrible. Don't watch it. Its so bad.

I thought that the series would be filmed about the witcher! And there was some kind of mess, I tried to watch 3 more episodes and realized that there was such a boring and drawn-out plot that you didn't know what to think about !!! I hoped for a good series based on to my favorite game, but it turned out to be a complete hat! Filmed very beautifully and even bewitching, but it drags on and the secondary characters spoil everything!

So hilarious and intelligently written. The writers sincerely can't be credited enough with how smart and funny this movie is. It's the kind of movie you can watch over and over and find new jokes, there's just so many! If you're uptight about the way many women feel how they "fit into" society, then this movie may not be for you. But, you're missing out. I hope the academy finally starts recognizing comedies. It's so much more difficult to write something funny and be an actor that can pull of true comedy than drama. It just is. You have to be new, creative and intelligent. Dramas, you can just play things that people automatically get emotional about, It's so hard to figure out what many will find funny, yet alone hilarious. The Academy should nominate Gosling (sp?) for best actor, Robbie for best actress, the move for best screen play and movie. It was just so creative and funny. Loved it, and honestly, I thought I'd hate it.

A lot of originality for sure but the plot is twisted and at times messy and confusing. I binge watched it, if I had turned it off for some reason I probably would not have started watching it again. The actors are quite ok though.

Don't get me wrong. I love the Marvel Universe. I even went back to watch the original Iron Man and forgot that in those days, Disney didn't have their mitts on it yet. It was a Paramount movie. My how times have changed. For me, the movie was all over the place, jumping from earth, to a distant planet, etc. Yes, the war extends across the galaxy, that much is understood, but too many cross stories, and the entire former Avengers team isn't even together. It does set up the 2nd half that comes out in 2019 which looks lie there will be a head-on face-to-face again with two of the Avengers that split apart, especially since, well, you know why. All in all, the CGI graphics were excellent. Very top notch. But, a movie can only look so great before it falls under it's own weight, and I'm sorry, but AIW does just that. Editing is sub-par, there are some good one-liners, but I had just watched Ant Man and the Wasp just before this at home and that was a great movie for me. Funny, hilarious and action packed. This, so-so. Disney is trying way too hard here. Need to get back to reality and ground this series back to how it started. I dare say that AIW is the Marvel Universe's "The Last Jedi". Pretty to look at, but empty everywhere else.

This movie has the _worst_ plot I have ever observed. Despite my best attempt to remain objective and view the film sans preconceptions (other than to be entertained), I found myself uninspired in the middle of the film. "A Beautiful Mind" seems incapable of focus. The first half of the film seems to be a comedy, but the last half is a depressing clichéd drama. The film itself seems to be schizophrenic (even manic-depressive). There is very little that is original or innovative in _A Beautiful Mind_ [that is unless you consider reorganization of main characters mid-film innovative]. Furthermore, the answers provided by the film to questions of epistemology [nature of and limits of knowledge] and questions of existence [answers] are merely hackneyed drivel. Both _The Matrix_ and _Sixth Sense_ do a far better job of asking the same questions and providing answers. I do, on the other hand, concede that the acting in _A Beautiful Mind_ is worthy of praise. Russel Crowe and Jennifer Connelly do a marvelous job of bailing out an otherwise sinking ship. However, this movie does _not_ merit the Academy Award for Best Picture--an award usually reserved for a balanced film (acting and plot) [sort of a 'best-of-show' award].

First of all, despite all of the bad reviews, if you are a Potterhead, i'm sure you still think that somehow this movie could have been better. This movie contains a lot of brand new details and expansion of Harry Potter series' storyline. I'm very sure that Potterheads will need more movies to fulfill their thirst of Harry Potter world. But unfortunately, this movie is not designed for those who don't really care about what's really happening in the World of Magic in that era. Still, great casts, great music scoring, great setting details!

Let me say up front that this is not a bad movie. But I notice a lot of Potter-fans are looking at this movie through rose-colored glasses, and are unable to see its obvious flaws. This is a pretty flawed movie. Fun, but not great. But lets start with the good. The characters are fun, the visuals are stunning and impressive. And the amazing Potter atmosphere of whimsy is all over this film. I also liked how the music of the movie starts with the soft Potter-theme, and then immediately abandons it for the rest of the film, and sticks with its own new theme music. There's plenty of references for fans to enjoy, but you do not need to be a Potter fan to understand what is going on in the film. This movie can very much stand on its own. But now the bad. The movie seems to forget that it has a plot for about half of its running time. For most of the movie we follow the main character in his quest to retrieve his missing animals all over New York, which is fun, but has very little to do with the main plot. It seems as if the movie suddenly remembers that it has a villain (who is briefly mentioned with quick flashes of newspapers during the opening) and it forgets that it still has to build towards a finale. Out of nowhere the final act is suddenly dropped into the movie. That is a bit sloppy, and it leaves the main villain very undeveloped. I also think many of the characters are a bit shallow, and steeped in stereotypes and clichés. Technically, the movie feels a bit sloppily edited at times, which makes some scenes hard to follow. And especially during the final act there are a lot of bright flashing lights that are a pain on the eyes if you are sitting in a dark theater. That said, I was still entertained. But the film critic in me feels that this should have been a lot better. I also noticed that I had a hard time remembering the names of most of the main characters.

Good show but the main inspector cant sneak around to save his life. He just walks around all willy-nilly with his super tight jeans, thinking people cant see him at all. Dude you are standing right under a street light and night. They can see your butt for sure dude. Skinny jeans don't make you invisible. Find cover!

Sets rules, breaks rules... Hard to get an idea of where the line is drawn. Maybe that was on purpose, but anyway, I don't like that.

Haven't read the book, don't care. It's a movie. And boy is it bad. There are no characters, no character development, nothing to build the world they're supposed to be in, apart from what the narraters are explaining. Half of the characters are narraters because everyone is just walking around explaining everything. The design of everything that's not pop culture is so lacking as well. No creativity. Meh.

I get so giddy whenever I here the Avatar music. Go watch it, it's spectacular. The greatest cartoon ever made.

Not really worth watching if you are expecting a level of genius as put in movies like shutter island or inception.I was able to predict most of the show not to brag or anything. Nice one for kids though i would say that for sure age 12-15 maybe. If you really r seeking a really good thriller/suspense I would recommend you Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbach). Best one I had ever seen....and no way you can really figure out the succession unless of course if you really are a genius.

Steven Soderberg's Sex, Lies And Videotape was released in 1989 and is a product of its time as well as a film that would pave the way for HBO films dealing with sex and the mind, relationships and risqué subject matter which was not so risqué in the decade that followed - the 90's. Peter Gallegher (I first got to know this actor through the popular Fox TV series "The OC" in which he plays the uptight, upscale divorced dad) plays John Mullany, whose wife Anne, played by Andie MacDowell, is afraid of her own sexuality and consequently bores her husband. He engages in an affair with his wife's own sister Cynthia, played by Laura San Giacomo. Things are complicated even further when a therapist (Ron Vawter) tapes his sessions with Cynthia who confesses to various sexual escapades. The plot can border on shocking sex for the sake of sex, but thanks to the fine acting by all the principal characters, this story becomes an overwhelming dark drama which deals with human sexuality, complex adult relationships and the film has a sad, tragic feel to it. Laura San Giacomo is better known as Maya from the sitcom "Just Shoot Me" and considering that was comedy, and this role is much darker and edgier, it attests to her versatility as an actress. The following year in 1990, she starred opposite Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman". Actor James Spader plays a creepy, seducer and he is nearly the same fellow he portrays in the later 2002 "Secretary". It's clear these types of films are his forte. This film is not to be viewed by sensitive or young viewers, as it has that R rated material one sees in HBO or other cables shows. This is not a silly, vulgar story without any real merit or meaning. It has a powerful message about infidelity, about the nature of adult male and female sexuality and this film has a small following of its own. Soderberg directs with great flair. We see close-ups when we need to see them, we get silences when the characters are reflecting on past misconducts and we also get a love triangle. It's a dark film but it never borders on pure debauchery. It's a film that makes you think.

Really Disney/Marvel 6 episodes is not a season it's a teaser, Mandalorian had 8 per season. You have become business people instead of entertainers! Humbug on you going to cancel my subscription to Disney+.

The first three seasons of this show is three of the best seasons of any sitcom of all-time, in my opinion. It's incredibly original and actually makes me laugh out loud, which most sitcoms do not. The cast and clever writing also make the first three seasons extremely entertaining. But, the Netflix seasons are very disappointing, especially if you're watching it back-to-back with the first seasons. Season four is saved by Gob and isn't terrible, but season five is downright horrendous. It has no saving grace in my opinion. Overall, the first three seasons are fantastic, but the last two seasons really brings my score down. 8.2/10.

A main character supposedly learnt this language for 3 years, yet he still fails to pronounce it at even a child level. This level of incompetency in acting makes me furious. He gets millions of dollars for 'acting' and fails to pronounce the simplest German sentence. I would like to think, if I was ever chosen to be an actor, I would take the 30s time it takes to learn a proper pronunciation. The fact that the actor failed and both the producer and director let it go forward makes you see how incompetent or careless they both are. This pretty much sums up the whole thing. Carelessly done, 'on the fly'. The money was probably guaranteed.

The first season was good but from season 2, it feels like the story is told as it goes. It's a shame because the main idea was interesting, fortunately the actors contribute in a good way, especially the sumptuous Millie Bobby Brown. Don't need more seasons because I won't watch, I forced myself to watch this series at the end. Can't wait to find Millie in other series or films. Winona also played her role very well. We are also likely to see Sadie Sink very soon, another beautiful young girl who has a very beautiful presence. For the moment, the series where I had the most pleasure is "you".

I was dumbfounded by the high IMDb score and the rave reviews on the front page. Fortunately, I turned the page and found the honest reviews. This is a boxing movie for WOMEN! If you are a man you wont like this. IF you are a man watch raging bull, rocky, the fighter or Cinderella man. This movie is soaked in drama. Nothing wrong with a little drama if it is well done and makes sense. I have had movies move me to tears that were done right. This movie had me cringing the whole way through. I probably could have made out with my sister and felt less awkward than i did watching this movie. The high reviews must be from women (remember they liked twilight) who were fawning over jake. I actually wanted to see the main character get his ass kicked in the ring. I was hoping for paralysis. That, of course, did not happen. His daughter is so far from any real little girl I have ever met that it was blatantly clear that she was a construct of a writer who does not have nor understand kids. Watch this movie if you are bored but don't expect greatness. It is not unwatchable just not worth watching.

A lot of effects, but bad writing and screenwrite planning.

Watched a couple of episodes and dropped it. The production looks expensive and good quality, though screenplay seems to be written by 9 year old scout girls...

I rated this movie 3 because of the first 15 minutes, the rest of the movie was literally a chaos. The Plot, performances and dialogues were so weak.

The difference between this experience and root canal surgery is that this movie is visually stunning with a gorgeous soundtrack. Otherwise, both experiences are very similar and seem much longer than 2 hours. THANK GOD for fast forward! And thanks to God, too, that it never occurred to me to say to my wife: "Why don't we go out tonight and sit in a dark theater and observe the unrelenting horrors of war for 2 hours." Some war movies rise above the horrors with character development and plot. No so here. finally, if you ever found yourself annoyed by the pretenses of Hollywood, know that films like this are their own punishment. Everyone involved, despite their million $ lifestyles, had to spend every waking hour with this horror. Anti-war, for sure, and maybe someone out there (Hollywood?) needs a blatant reminder that war is Hell.

I didn't like "Deadpool", but I liked it better than "Shazam!" They both have the same problems: they try too hard and suffer from a lack of fresh jokes. But Zachary Levi (I miss "Chuck"..) is no Ryan Reynolds (or Tom Hanks). The greatest superhero of the production has to be Mark Strong's agent who still somehow manages to convince Hollywood that his client is worth hiring. The good: depiction of the foster home and the child actors. Best of them, in my opinion, was the diminutive, adorable Faithe Herman (from TV's "This Is Us"). Some of the comedic scenes work nicely enough. And there is a great scene between a boy and his long lost mother, which seems more real than the rest of the picture. Other than that, the themes of family, standing your ground etc. take second seat to the action and comedy. "Shazam!" is a calculatingly passable family distraction with unsurprising problems: in one scene a horrific mass murder takes place, but not a single drop of blood is anywhere to be seen. This is just lying to kids. And the end resolve takes way too long. Music is completely forgettable. At least "Shazam!" maintains a light tone, by which it beats watching Zack Snyder films.

Nice shots, beautiful cinematics, but nothing happens. Plain dull and boring.

After watching this film, I came away the idea that everyone who liked this film had woke up with a horse's head the next morning. The dialogue was downright pathetic and so was the acting. The "look-how-quirky-the Japanese-are" was as unoriginal as it was boring. Bill Murray has done the same character for all of his recent films, some of which his character was better suited such films as Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums by Wes Anderson. Scarlett Johansson has the same shtick, pout her lips, say very little, and hope that people don't notice she really can't act. For a character supposedly being a Yale graduate in philosophy, one would think they would show they had actually learned something. Did people actually believe Ribisi was a) her husband; b) a photographer on assignment in Japan? I actually thought he was her little brother. This film should have never been nominated for any of the awards, much less come away with best screenplay. That award should have gone to American Splendor, a far better film about two people in a relationship, and with far better dialogue and story. It seems like Sophia believes that understatement is the way to fool the critics by letting them believe there is more to her, but I do believe by the next film, they will be shocked to the lack of talent and depth in Sophia's film-making.

I've come across many films where my feelings were at odds with the general public, the critics, or both. But usually, I can at least understand where the other side is coming from. With Three Billboards, I am left completely and utterly baffled at how this assterpiece could have been nominated by the Academy for Best Picture and stands with a higher imdb rating than many titans of cinema, with its own spot on the top 250 movies of all-time. For my part, it was one of the worst films I've ever seen: a B-movie soap opera in plot, melodrama, acting, and scene set-up (go watch the scene with the ex-husband in the breakfast room for a shining example of all these elements, though about half the scenes in the movie would serve for a demonstration as well!). You could tell this was made by a European who has no personal experience with American sociopolitical issues while trying to make a profound point out of them, and from all the non-politically laced sections, the esteemed director appears to be missing a chunk of understanding for the general human psyche as well. In other words, this movie is a social commentary drama wherein the filmmaker fails to grasp the most fundamental aspects of either of those genres. I have been unable to find a positive review that sounded as if the reviewer watched the same thing I did. Maybe some day I will come across that elusive review, and I will at last be able to cipher the inexplicable praise behind Three Billboards. But, missing that perspective-altering view at present, I will drop my little 2/10 pebble into this ocean of positive reviews, and hope that enough sane people will come along soon and help me tug this film down to a more worthy rating.

V well acted, catchy and holding to the seats sceens. well executed.

The Plot is so bland and predictable. I never got invested in the characters, including the leading character. Very unfortunate story telling. Yes the Action is there, but that is it! What good is all that action when you actually don't get invested in the characters, heck if he gets hit or dies.

I personally feel like they ruined a perfectly fine idea and concept in order to build on multiple sequels. Biggest pet peeves/problems: Too many new characters and storylines. This took me out of them film several times. Plot holes-why was Jacob with queenie? How did his good memories stay...what happened to his shop? Not enough focus on the fantastic beast and Newt... And the rest of my problems coincide with the above pet peeves. I was really let down with this movie. Simplicity is key with an amazing concept like this. Why over complicate it with high profile celebrities and way too many parts to keep track of. Smh.

Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood is maybe proof that Quentin Tarantino ranks alongside Stanley Kubrick. Both started to make overlong movies and were lionised by critics, many who were afraid to be critical of them. This might be Tarantino's most self indulgent film so far despite being a glorious period piece. Set in Los Angeles 1969. The film is an alternate history as it focuses on Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) who was once a star of the hit television show Bounty Law. Now Dalton's career is fading. He drinks too much, he does not remember his lines and his regular work is guest starring as the villain of the week. Accompanying Dalton is his stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) who acts as his driver and gofer. Booth is also short of work as he has a bad reputation in the stunt industry. Living next door to Dalton in LA is actress Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) who has just moved in with her director husband Roman Polanski. Life for her is attending parties and going to the cinema to see her latest movie. Dalton wonders if he should take up a suggestion to go and work in Italy and make spaghetti westerns which could kick start his career. Booth gave a pretty hippy a lift to a ranch which is full of strange people belonging to a cult. Booth seemed to have rubbed them up the wrong way. Eventually the various people cross paths in this reimagining of what might have happened on a fateful night in 1969. There is no doubt that that DiCaprio and Pitt give their all in this film as two middle aged men fading away at an uncertain time. Tarantino seems to have given this film a conservative hue, he really dislikes the counterculture. I wonder if he is angry with the #metoo movement which destroyed his friend Harvey Weinstein and raised questions over his own conduct in the past. Clocking in at under 3 hours this film meanders until it reaches its explosive climax. Until then you wonder what exactly is the story. The movie is a series of vignettes that hints at a director/screenwriter who is past his prime and seems to be obsessed with bare feet.

Nice movie. Bit voilent but story was meant to be like this. Anushka did a good job. She proved her acting skills and told that she can handle the film single handedly. Also I am happy that this kind of women centric film was successful at box office. Anushka should do a women centric film like this again.

Yes, it had good acting. Yes, it was technically well made. But there's no there there. For us it never achieved liftoff. It kept plodding on and on, nothing really wrong with it, but nothing to justify spending two hours on. In the end (and at the end) we were left wondering, why is the end now? Why not 30 minutes before or 30 minutes after? Possibly a good movie for film buffs/critics who are tired of the same old thing, but for the occasional movie goer, we can do better.

I don't think I've ever watched such a bad war movie in all my life.do your self a favor.. don't watch ..!!!.all I witnessed was thosands of soldiers standing on a beach for the whole movie.where was the enemy...all we saw was three planes trying to attach the allies boats . and that only lasted for a few minutes .there was no action.no fighting.no special effects.how this movie got high ratings plus awards.is beyond me ..to me it was a boring amateur movie . with harry styles from.one direction in it .. think enough said ...I fell asleep several times through it

I think I'll go out on a limb here and say I enjoyed the original film immensely more. Perhaps it's the nostalgia speaking or perhaps I was expecting a lot more substance from this instalment. Don't get me wrong, some of the special effects were excellent but I'm the type of filmgoer that needs real substance, an intriguing storyline, a complex narrative and twists and turns to keep me wholly interested. None of those elements exist here. The movie ticks all the conventional boxes but leaves the objective viewer strangely unsatisfied. Are audiences numbed to Hollywood action saga cliches? Perhaps. But I think the problem lies in the lack of daring and imagination that one finds in contemporary film making. The film was a box office success, undoubtedly, and for the stakeholders, that is all that matters. But if a few extra risks had been taken, and the script given a daring and risky turn or two, this could have been a true masterpiece. Alas. Not to be. This film will be forgotten soon enough.
4
Procrastinating plot story, unreasonable plot setting, rough picture design. It seems to want to construct a complex worldview, but it is clueless and confusing. Compared with the first season, in fact, the pattern has not become larger, but has become smaller. And why is it always dark and unclear? And the overall work is tedious and boring. The rhythm is almost zero. Characters adapted for ethnic diversity are also embarrassing.

I went in with an open mind considering how many avengers/captain Americas i have watched and they have all been similar. This one finally got me sitting up for the whole length of the movie. Its exactly as titled. Civil War has everything from the good, the bad and you can bet the most ugly. No punches were held back and did everyone get punched more than once. Just like in war innocent people were killed and running with this and vengeance is the baseline of the movie. RDJ again playing iron man so perfectly no one else could fill this guys position. Along with the huge cast of super heroes all coming into one. I wont spoil it and tell you who exactly, although it wouldn't be hard to find out. But do your self a favor don't ruin the movie, watch it before you read spoilers. Overall i do give another 8 out of 10 but its totally deserved. Finally an Avenger movie that feels like a decent thought out movie rather than the standard superhero time line.

I am starting this review from one fact: I suffer from vertigo and this movie kept me in a state of tension for three quarters of the whole time. The movie is overall visually stunning. The camera creates the depth needed for the outer space scenes and, at times, focuses on small details which become crucial to the development of the action. This visual device helped to create a sense of inevitability: you actually saw things coming. The main plot is not particularly complex and the dialogs aren't either, but there are some narrative devices that suggest more layers of interpretation. The two characters were convincing enough, Dr. Stone (Bullock) more than Lt. Kowalski. I saw the whole movie not only as a thrilling story, but also as the tale of an emotional evolution and growth. One of the best films I've seen in this late period, it still lacks something that would make it a true classic.

Theres no real way to say how good it is you just have to watch it to see for yourself.

Best director and best movie Based on true story and super stars .. like amitabh bachhan sir sairat fame rinku rajguru akash thosar fandry fame somnath avghade did their best for the movie.

This is a very boring movie. The way that the storyline is cut up into 4 different parts makes the movies feel all very disconnected. The film basically just showcases the lives of your average mobster type criminals. Many people say that the "everyday life" kind of feel of the movie is what makes it great; I say very plainly that this is what makes it dull. It certainly a well made movie, this is why I give it 6 and not less.

This show is odd, but not exactly in a bad way. It is enjoyable. It is a show that you have to really watch to understand what's going on. Even watching intently, there were times I would have to rewind because I missed a minute detail and did not understand what was happening. I can't tell you how many times my husband walked in and was like "what weird show are you watching?" after coming in and a talking monkey was on the screen or a man with a fish for a head etc. Season 1 was messy for me and a bit boring until the last few episodes. Season 2 was far superior. I think some of the characters still could have used some better storylines and had some scenes that better showcased their powers. Poor Luther has horrible powers and the writers really didn't have him bring anything to the story. He struggles to beat up average humans when he is supposed to have super strength. Which was unfortunate because Tom Hopper is gorgeous and a great actor. Five is the best character. The plot was slightly above average. Overall, the show is worth a watch. Season 1 is a 5 and season 2 is a 7 rating.

Terrible film! Typical mass-produced garbage regurgitated from the same mass-produced garbage from the past. There is nothing original here and was made for 15 yr old boy's that need a hit of violence. Why take the grueling time to write a story when you have another plot you can build on from 25 years ago? With modern movies, everything goes into marketing; this is the new art form. The commercials, the distribution, the target audience, are all far more the focus than the actual content of the film - all in the name of profit. This movie definitely shows Keanu Reeves inability to act at all. The plot was like water and of course very predictable. They really build up his character, then when the fight sequences begin it's like watching something that they did back in the 70's. The movie "The Drop" with Tom Hardy is the same movie really, however 100 times better. Tom Hardy is incredible and has just begun to shine as an actor in film - so I recommend that film over this for sure. This movie is a complete waste of time and I don't normally write reviews, but really had to for this one.

So says Ed Harris, the MIB-style figment of Russell Crowe's imagination, when the latter screams: "You're not real! You're not real!" This is a biopic of Nobel Prizewinner John F Nash, the mathematical genius who thought up the Nash Equilibrium, a major contribution to Game Theory. Poor Nash became afflicted with paranoia-schizophrenia, a condition he suffered from for about two decades until the symptoms abated. Cleverly, Ron Howard introduces us gradually to Nash's unreal world.The effects - such as an umbrella star constellation and magazine pages that light up etc, are wonderfully done. On the downside, the historical facts are played around with, when the facts would probably make a better story. (For example, the Equilibrium was not instantly accepted,unlike shown in the film.) Russell Crowe's performance is not particularly good. Jennifer Connelly's is much better as the just-too-good-to-be true girlfriend, then wife. At the pen-laying ceremony at the end, I was expecting Ed Harris to come and lay his pen, but I suppose that is just the way I look at the world.

1. an exhausted , just rescued soldier can push the teenager flying (not rolling !!) down to the cabin and head hit the handle. 2. the super-hero pilot finished last defense ,easy force landing to the sea and go back to British with the boats which pick up soldiers, instead, he day dream like force landing to enemy territory and been captured. Maybe director bring the previous 4th dimensional experience back to this historic story telling movie, what's a nonsense !

Feels like a Deadpool rip-off. Entertaining but could've been more serious with the script.

lets keep this short and simple, the hurt locker i have been waiting to see this film for a long time and i was massively disappointed. the performances by Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie & Brian Geraghty where superb and the director used some brilliant angles and slow motion shots. the first 15 minutes of the film where incredible 10/10 but then that stopped. the story became unrealistic the EOD's where using snipers, roaming though the desert unassisted & leading raids though buildings. 5/10 performance 8/10 originality 5/10 direction 7/10 story 4/10 ending 3/10

I simply cannot fathom the writing decisions for Doctor Smith. She feels so empty and is just there to cause needless drama, dumbing down the main characters so she can do her thing. Atleast in the original Doctor Smith is actually cunning and intelligent.

I've just finished ep5 and as much as I am enjoying it, it is a little dull... Yes it's new and different but to be honest, it's not that creepy, not that twisted and far too much sitcom for me. I want a little more action than what we are getting. I know some people will argue the action is yet to come. But I don't want to watch 7-8hrs of sitcom to get 2 hours of action.... I would even go as far as saying most of the episodes are forgettable, like filler episodes until the big bang!! Im gonna keep watching but so far I can predict I will much prefer falcon and the winter soldier.

It is most creative thriller of bollywood and original as well

It should be time to change more thoroughly the plots and the development of this kind of superhero movies like, also, those of secret agents. You see one and it's as if you've seen them all. In this case, however, the pleasant note is that the ideas around the special effects (computer graphics) are very pleasant and there are very nice action and fight scenes to watch. For the rest, the film, like all those of superheroes of the last years is extremely predictable and obvious as is as the script. A good film for a young audience mainly, fun but, nothing really new under the sun for technically savvy viewers. 8/10 because yes, it is obvious but, undoubtedly entertains and well done.

Season 1 was fantastic season 2 was also pretty good 3 was decent the season suffered because of the new character ani and if they wouldn't have added this character the season wud have been way better but still it was an interesting watch but i didn't liked the 4 season it was very uninteresting and dull all the actors have done fabulous acting throughout the show especially Dylan and Katherine and this show is successful in conveying the message it wants to.

I literally didn't like the role of huma(sarah hashmi). Her dialogues were not good, her acting skills are not as good as other co actors. Sakhi's role was good enough. Waiting for next season with good story.

Time travel is a tricky topic, and many stories approach it differently. Often times, the mechanics behind the time travel is either left unexplained or filled with elaborate science talk that goes over the viewers head. Also brought on by time travel, is the problem of a story riddled with plot holes. Steins;Gate suffers, for the most part, from none of these aforementioned problems. The ways in which time travel functions and its limits aren't oversimplified yet are explained in a way that makes it both believable and easy to understand. During the run of the show, no plot holes were made apparent due to the use of time travel. The rules by which time travel must abide by are laid down early on and are followed throughout the course of the show. This, in itself, is a commendable feat and a fundamental part of what makes Steins;Gate what it is. { Story 10/10 } { Characters 8/10 } The story of Steins;Gate is very difficult to talk about without revealing too much about its plot. In the first half of the show, not much progression is actually made in the story. Despite frequently being under fire; however, I'd argue this part of the show was vital. It establishes important details regarding time travel, acclimates the viewer to the world, and develops the characters before jumping into the much more plot heavy second half of the show. Though it's well constructed, the time travel aspect of the show isn't what makes it truly intriguing. The driving force that makes the story so interesting is the characters and their interactions with each other, namely Okabe Rintarou and Makise Kurisu. Unable to truly describe him without spoilers, I'll simply say that Okabe's development throughout the series is phenomenally executed- from a man-child to a man. As for Makise, she serves as the perfect grounded character to contrast the rest of the rather strange cast of Steins;Gate. And the relationship between Okabe and Makise is very touching and enjoyable to watch. All of the characters in the relatively small cast have their time in the spotlight, though some of them did end up feeling a tad bland. Some of the nerdy/slightly-perverted things included in the show by the characters felt unnecessary, but are passable, as they're all 18 years old. The ordeals the main character, Okabe, is faced with, and his reactions to them are both amazingly well written and very emotional. Generally, I tend not to cry while consuming media, but Steins;Gate managed to invoke a feeling of sadness I'd never felt before from watching a show and left me bawling in many scenes. Without spoiling anything, it's worth mentioning that the ending is one of the most deeply satisfying and emotional I've seen in all of anime. Steins;Gate's story is an emotional roller coaster with some great characters that's well told and successfully uses time travel in a meaningful way without hurting the plot. { Art 7/10 } The art of a show is very important for me as it can often ruin an experience if it's not done right. Luckily, Steins;Gate's doesn't suffer from any such bad animation at nearly any point of the show. The unsaturated colors of the show add a bit of a darker and grittier feel and the character designs are well made. With that said though, the animation is nothing extraordinary. It manages to get the job done without any hiccups and conveys the story without problem, even if it's not the most beautiful thing anime has seen. { Sound 8/10 } Similarly to the story, and possibly to an even greater extent, the music of Steins;Gate doesn't get it's time to shine until later in the show. The soundtrack used in the second half of the show manages to carry an immense amount of emotion despite mainly being composed of piano notes alone. The implementation of the tracks is very well done, with them not being over used and are placed at the perfect times to produce the greatest possible emotional response. Likewise, the voice acting, at least of the sub, is phenomenal. All of the characters manage to sound genuine and execute their lines wonderfully. { Enjoyment 9/10 } I absolutely loved Steins;Gate when I watched it and I quickly binged the series in a couple of days. The enjoyment experienced when watching Steins;Gate isn't one of hype or even of pure joy, but rather it's a very sad and emotionally captivating experience. The many tears shed, the attachment to the characters, and the sheer desire for them to succeed and be happy is what makes this show so enjoyable to watch. Admittedly, the first half of the show may be a bit boring at times, but, for the most part, it's still fun to watch the interactions between the characters. Obviously, not everyone will enjoy this show as it requires you to be willing to go through a very sad experience. It's rather slow at times and the entire series only ever has one or two actions scenes in its 24 episodes, though I don't mind either of those points. Also worth noting is that it may be difficult to binge watch, as I often struggled to keep going through all of the grief I was feeling from the show. The raw emotions brought on by Steins;Gate makes for a very emotional and enjoyable experience without resorting to lots of action scenes and fan service. { Overall 10/10 } Technically speaking, the average of all the other categories would result in a score of a bit lower than a 9; however, I'd argue Steins;Gate is greater than the sum of its parts. The nearly flawless story, well written characters, beautiful music, darker animation style, and riveting voice acting make it a show that, in my opinion, is fully deserving of the praise it receives. I've never felt so moved by a scene, attached to a character, or hooked on a show as I was with Steins;Gate. Having managed to tell such a deeply emotional time travel story without falling victim to the usual pitfalls that result from the use of time travel, I feel it's safe to say that Steins;Gate is truly a masterpiece.

Whoever likes the Dragon Ball then they should watch this series It is the history of Dragon Ball how Goku met Bulma and become the strongest

When I saw once again there was a new Lost in Space I wasn't sure I would like it. I am SO glad I gave it a chance. I loved it!!! It had everything! Great cast, action, evil, aliens, beautiful scenery and space, just great all around, so well done!!! So many emotions each episode, I couldn't stop watching it! Netflix you've done it again!! Can't wait for the next season. Please hurry! Not sure why some didn't like it. Please keep this one around longer!!!!

...because I got nothing out of this show. I guess this is Disney and not Marvel, and quality is in line with last decade of Disney crap, trying to profit from nostalgia. Who are they targeting with 4:3 b&w format ? Kids ?

This feels like 2 people playing at make believe in school break. Seriously absolute s###. You swap your shoes to wrong feet shut your eyes and imagine your in a janitors cupboard and all of a sudden you're in a parallel universe? Are they having a laugh? It alternatively peal a piece of gum from under a desk and there you are again? The best thing about it is Jamie Lee Curtis zombie IRS worker!! However acting has to be credited for keeping a straight face for the period of each shot. I've read a lot of books similarly themed but this one just doesn't hold together. Not sure if it's serious or a comedy and if you have to ask....

This new take on the moon knight storyline is very different from the comics but a very good adaptation of the character into the live action marvel universe. The plot, characters and story progression are very well knit together and give a good background of the character while also focusing on the story and not making the show feel like and origin story. The acting is well-done, especially by Oscar Isaac who plays all there of his personalities in such a different style, in voice and in expressions that it makes the viewer very clear about whom he is referencing unlike other split personality roles which keep the audience guessing. All in all it's a very good watch, even for those who have no interest in the marvel universe but just want a good show or watch.

Lady Gaga as a struggling singer? No. It's not believable. Cast an unknown. She's fine in it but I just didn't buy her ascent, plucked from obscurity...are we supposed to feel sorry for her? Cheer her on? She gets everything very easily. And Coopers character was just one note. I didn't care about him or his super privileged life. Boring, pointless, made to solely win awards, characters who are dull and annoying. I didn't care. I didn't even think the songs were great. It looked nice though.

Visually it was amazing, a korean film with international appeal made it fun to see.. but thats it! I was expecting a deep dive psychological thriller and got confused along the way with the message it was trying to relay to the viewer... how can others say this was some deep discussion on class differences when the poor cant fold boxes, are con artists and liars, and the rich are a well off family that work hard and care for each other, whose only crime was having a bad smell problem... its not riveting, its weak. There were so many plotholes and missed opportunities. This film was extremely predictable yet offensive to whoever this film was intended for, rich or poor... who are you supposed to root for? Definitely not the poor con artists, and if thats done on purpose it shows a tremendous pretentiousness. Its an average well done movie, receiving high praise because it was korean made... ive seen better in the last 10 years. By all means, watch it though.

This like many other brilliant shows get going and leave the season open for more. And then they just stop, leaving its fans wanting more. I'm sick of it! You get something as good as this. Look at its ratings, why abandon it now? Shame on you HBO!

On the surface it sounds promising: a 2.5 hour movie with a stellar actor cast and an interesting setting in the golden era of hollywood. Then you watch the movie and scene after scene characters go about their mundane lives in their own isolated plotlines. They do exciting things like repair a broken antenna, drive around, rehearse lines and go to the cinema to watch movies of themselves. Does any of this go somewhere? No, not really. In fact, so little happens that you could cut half of the film and no one would notice. Now this absence of any sort of overarching plot is presumably deliberate choice, but even within that style this is just not well executed. There is nothing of interest to fill the void, save for maybe a handful scenes that the actors manage to salvage with their performances. Everything else is mostly just waiting around, which unsurprisingly is not very entertaining.

I really really wanted to like/love this movie, and watched it 4 times. The first time, I was so bored at the halfway point I gave up, the second time I made it to just past the halfway point and gave up, the third time I was drunk so I think I feel asleep and vaguely remembered the ending, the fourth time I was fully present and paying attention, and was utterly determined to make it all the way through just to see if the film finally found its sea-legs and became 'good'. Well, I'm here to tell you, the emperor HAS no clothes, and to be perfectly honest, it must be very very young people who are liking and rating this movie, that have barely ever seen movies, and just blunder about liking everything no matter how dull it is. This movie is so incredibly dull. All due respect to those who laboured over the special effects/costumes etc, and even the actors, who do the best they can with such a dull storyline, but in the end, nothing can save this film from being reminiscent of watching paint dry or watching grass grow. Sorry guys, but you will only like this film if you have a very high tolerance for tedium.

Great flick that was a blast from start to finish! When the "Red Chillies Entertainment" logo came up at the start, I had no idea this film was going to be such a celluloid party! Farah Khan delivers one mega punch after another. The song "Chale Jaise Hawaien" is priceless -- reminiscent of K2H2 -- but her choice to shoot the song in two long-take sequence shots was phenomenal --> exhibiting some of the best human and camera choreography since Welles's classic opening to Touch of Evil. All the songs shine in the film, but the qawaali "Tumse Milke Dilka Jo Haal" -- coming right after the interval -- is an absolute showstopper; the choreography, set design, and costuming come as close to Hindi cinema perfection as any mere mortal can get! Shah Rukh kicks as an action hero, and ALL the actors play their characters with conviction and just the right amount of tongue-in-cheek! And the comic punch of this film is brilliant --> when Satish Shah first appears on the screen (no spoiler here), I laughed so hard I had tears streaming down my face (appropriate, I guess....). There are also some absolutely amazing digital effects shots, particularly during some of the Shah Rukh-Sunil Shetty fight scenes (I don't think anyone has ever had so much fun lampooning The Matrix [thanks, Farah!]). Finally, Anu Malik delivers what I think must be his absolutely finest pop-Indian soundtrack. The songs are totally addictive and immensely hummable. I am looking forward to snatching up the DVD when it's released so I can hear the songs in a proper surround-sound mix. Overall, this is an incredibly entertaining mix of all that is wonderful in contemporary Hindi films -- great story (inspired by the Ramayana), terrific choreography and acting, rib-splitting comedy, just the right amount of pathos, stunning cinematography, catchy songs, and dynamite directing. Both thumbs up!

I'm not a gamer and never heard of this one till the hype with the show came up. The first episode was awesome and really came out fast. Depeche Mode at the end and walking into the infected area with the destroyed buildings and seeing one of the infected in the distance was probably my favorite of the whole season. I really liked the 2nd episode as well but then it just all kinda slammed on the breaks with the exception for the end of episode 5 when the zombies came out of the ground and seeing the deaf kid turn. Other than that, it just got really slow and felt more like the Walking Dead, another show I didnt care for. I heard it's pretty close to the game so I must not be the target audience but this felt like a miss to me.

Great actors for a boring story, I finished the movie and still couldn't get what's it all about, if it's all about movie industry back in late sixties or only about Quentin Tarantino it should've been done as a documentary not as a "comedy drama" movie considering that 90% of the world doesn't know who is Quentin Tarantino but the big names will make them watch the movie then get very disappointed same to my case. Also copying old movies "sound effects, music, costumes, posters ..etc" limited the creativity and the excitement factors
3
I was not sure if I should give this show a go or not but I did after it gone past my eyes several times. And my god! Once I started I wanted to finish it in a single day. Thank you! Netflix and thanks to Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane. The future of Indian TV is at right hands now!

Pun somewhat intended. Another movie in the Conjuring-verse and another one that might divide people. We get our usual suspects at first, but the movie does star kids most of the time - a quite clever decision overall I'd say, but one that might annoy some viewers too. The horror scenes are well done (no pun intended), but are not too scary for anyone who's seen a few horror movies overall. The outcome or where the movie is heading is quite clear I think, but that is for you to decide how much it tickles your scare bone and if that is sufficient enough. A decent effort at least, if you are not too harsh with it

Like most other Marvel movies, Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a film definitely worth watching in theaters. If you are not a die hard Captain America fan you won't feel left out, but if you didn't watch the first film, like me, you may want to. Everything that happens in the movie has a purpose and nothing feels out of place the entire way through. The movie is filled with action packed battle scenes and the effects were very jaw dropping. The best part about this movie and all other superhero movies, in my opinion, is the escape from reality. Right from the beginning of the movie I escaped reality and lept into the world of Marvel. Escaping reality is important due to feeling empowered and feeling like anything is possible. The film is very creative and manages to stay original in some aspects considering how many of these types of movies have been released. After the movie had ended several reflections of reality floated around in my head. For example, S.H.I.E.L.D, a large hitech law enforcement agency, is very similar to our government and our enemies may be closer than we thought.The movie needs to be watched to understand this but, the movie may challenge some beliefs that you have of our own government. Chris Evans did an excellent job as Captain America. He really suits the role by being a amazing enthusiastic protagonist and is very fit. Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow was also a treat. She did an incredible job of being the sidekick of Evans and deserves to be in her own movie. Samuel L. Jackson has always been an outstanding actor and his portrayal of Nick Fury, one of the leaders of S.H.I.E.L.D, is no exception to his flawless career. The movie has a clear meaning all the way through which is the good guys always win but, evil will always be present. Without spoiling the ending of the movie, the heroes make a very tough decision because they knew it was the right choice. This shows the true nature of humans and how everyone is good. Overall this was a great movie and will need more viewings to find flaws that I may have missed. The second installment to the Captain America films is fantastic and will definitely be one of the best movies of 2014.

A complete waste of time. i like action scenes but this is over the top. One man kills 150 people , gimme me a break. Mindless action.
2
I've been waiting for this show since it's announcement. Mostly because of the story's potential, it has deep lore just like game of thrones. The tv show nearly missed my expectations, even though i had low expectations. Henry's portrayal of Geralt was spot on, but most of the characters felt badly cast, specially Yeneffer. Also, the storytelling felt rushed and unorganized. I would rate it lower if this was a second or third season, but since it is on it's first season i will give it the benefit of the doubt. For those who thought this would be the next Game of Thrones, it isn't, the pace and organization was worst than even the last season of Game of Thrones. I really hope they can improve it, since i like The Witcher series. I hope Amazon does better with Lord of the Rings.

9 year old Elizabeth Harmon (Isla Johnston) finds herself at an orphanage following her mother's apparent suicide. If there is the kind of horrific abuse orphanages are often characterized by in movies, none is shown. With one significant exception - kids are given tranquilizers daily "for disposition". Once, sent on an errand to the basement Elizabeth observes the custodian Mr. Shaibel (Bill Camp) playing chess by himself. Intrigued, she insists that he teaches her. Between her brilliant mind, probably inherited from her math professor mother, and tranquilizer induced half imagining, half hallucinating a chessboard on the ceiling, she quickly surpasses her teacher. The chessboard on the ceiling is a stunning visual and a clever way to bring what usually happens inside a head out onto the screen. It is truly remarkable how the series managed to make chess games exciting, even as they were impossible to follow, at least for me. But The Queen's Gambit really rests on the shoulders of its young star Anya Taylor Joy. Equally authentic as a gawky, maladjusted teenager and a polished fashionista, she is absolutely brilliant at expressing the huge range of emotions Elizabeth goes through. All while managing to portray her as someone not outwardly emotional. There is a slew of wonderful supporting characters and Elizabeth's interactions with them take delightfully unexpected turns. My favorite example was her relationship with her adoptive mother Alma (Marielle Heller). Alma may have taken the girl out of the orphanage and into a nice suburban house, but as time goes on, the dynamics of who is saving whom evolve. Towards the end though The Queen's Gambit succumbs to the typical Hollywood "triumph over adversity" story it is at its core. It's disappointing because there were so many seeds of complexity planted throughout much of the show and they never bear fruit. All the talk of the genius and madness being two sides of the same coin, of her mother's mental illness, of anger Elizabeth was supposedly holding inside - there had to be something given terrible trauma she had been through. But all we get is a garden variety alcohol abuse and some intermittent pill addiction from back at the orphanage. Another wonderful seed that got abandoned was the question Elizabeth posed to her young and ambitious Soviet opponent (Louis Ashbourne Serkis), "You'll become a World Champion at 16. Then what?" Seriously, what then? Season 2, perhaps?

Just a decent show for me as someone who didn't read the book. I absolutely loved Crowley and Aziraphale and their relationship. I also quite liked all the other demons and angels. However I didn't like basically every other character and plot point. I found the antichrist himself super boring and his whole plot felt lame. Maybe I'm too tired of annoying chosen one kids saving the world, especially when the acting is nothing impressive and the shows idea of an interesting kid character is to have a kid ranting about the "patriarchy", ugh. Anathema and her boyfriend, don't even remember his name, also just felt pretty meh. Every scene without the main duo just made me want them back on the screen asap. Basically, I would have enjoyed the show a lot more if the whole series was just what that first half of episode 3 was (flashback). I just wanted to see Crowley and Aziraphale being unlikely best bros for life and getting up to all sorts of hijinks together throughout history while trying to avoid the wrath of the angels and demons. 6/10 for me. Glad others enjoyed it more though.

Even better than the first one, this movie kept me on the edge of my seat! I really like the way how they introduced carnage and how he immediately goes on a rampage right after being born. C. K's intamate love with Shriek is one one of my fav parts. People complain and say Cletus was being a simp but shriek is basically the only thing Cletus cares about in this world if there's only one thing you like in the entire world you would love it just as much as him. 9.5 outa ten for me. One if my fav marvel projects released this year! Venom got so much more screen time also.

It's a sign of just how well Rian Johnson's film sweeps you up into its grasp that it can take the unusual step of boldly and openly setting itself in Covid times, and you don't spend the rest of the movie with trauma flashbacks. Like the first film, it ably and joyfully continues to breathe life into the star-studded whodunnit genre; like the first film it's as funny as it is intriguing; like the first film, it tells a story of rich people who think they should be powerful being bought low. As with Knives Out, there's real political bite here, but done so skilfully and in lockstep with story and character that neither those who strongly oppose or support the politics will be taken out of the moment. The cast is superb; Daniel Craig is making a second franchise his own, Edward Norton is magnetic and Janelle Monae is outstanding (is there anything she can't do?). It looks spectacular; so beautifully shot that though this largely housebound Long Covid sufferer is beyond grateful to access this at home easily, I still thought ... this will look incredible on the big screen. The whole thing is technically masterful, so much so that it seems unfair to focus on one part or the other ... but the sound design and editing both struck me as subtly brilliant. What a debt of thanks we owe Rian Johnson. These films really seem to have hit a friendly nerve; comforting, fun, escapist but with big ideas in plain sight if you want to go there, Glass Onion is just what you want it to be.

The last Spiderman was awful. This was just the last nail in the coffin confirming MCU needs to rethink their Spy Kids aesthetics and superlazy writing. No amount of popular actors and new Disney hero kids can fill the void left after the Endgame. These aren't even theatre worthy. It's a Sunday morning Nickolodeon movie.

I really enjoyed Season One. I wish I could keep just the memory of Season One in my head and go back in time (haha) to stop myself from watching Season Two.

This show has highlighted a lot of important things that many people are facing these days, but in case you're going through a hard phase, i would really advise you not to watch this as it could trigger you.

This is quirky beyond belief, even for the Coen brothers. Without giving too much away, William H. Macy is Jerry, a dishonest car salesman(redundant, I know) who through a series of money games, needs to raise a good deal of cash quickly. He arranges the kidnapping of his wife by a couple of low life's headed by the super creepy Steve Bescemi in his most evil role. Jerry has the idea of having his father in law pay the ransom for his daughter. The best laid plans of mice and men soon go awry and what follows is part keystone cops and part Greek tragedy. Equal measure sardonic black comedy, violent crime drama and domestic romance, this is a brilliant work of art with a perfect script and characters so fully realized that I have to rate it a 10/10. This is a flawless film from beginning to end.
10
Season 1 was PERFECT!!! Season 2 was bad, but Season 3 is amazing again! Yes!!!! S1: 10/10 S2: 4/10 S3: 9/10. This is really what The boys needed. Still it has some leftist politics on it, that seems to be tge norm this days. I hope it runs off soon this politics in your face phase. But otherwise fantastic.
9
Good movie, bit over done at the end. Acting is good, story could have been little bit better, because it's more of an action movie rather than a story as such. Entertainment for sure
6
Bad show, bad script and this wise idea to do shows in darkness has to stop! It's bad for viewing and doesn't hide a bad script. I don't know much about the character but I think this needed more of a lot.
2
This one lacked soul and not sure it had a focus as well. It failed to make me feel anything for its characters, except maybe for the cruel sadistic master. But a movie talking about the dark times of slavery should focus more on the life of the slaves. Instead of feeling the main hero's agony and troubles I was just horrified by the actions of his awful master. In any case, it didn't tell us anything more than what we have seen before in much better movies or/and TV series. It is not a great movie and I can't understand all the hype about it. "Oscar movies" are more mediocre every year...
5
Making the conversations way too long to extend the episodes.... It's based on a horror - action game. Still nothing, just some action scenes does not meet the expectations... Boring 5th Episode. Apart from the opening action scene, nothing to add. When they said big budget, I thought something like Stanger Things, but nope. If anything I'll wait till they finish all the episodes and watch them on the same day and skip all the useless talking scenes and even worst the unnecessary silent scenes. A reminder to the makers of the show, it's not a romantic Drama and we want horror and action. Thank you.

I registered to leave a review for this movie. It's not "Godfather"! Not even close. The movie is ok to watch. The title is not relevant. I would say just violent, not a most violent. Jessica Chastain is fabulous. 7/10 for me.
7
I was really happy with this series during the first episode. I was feeling like Marvel Studios was experimental with this but with every new episode after the 5th, the series got worse and worse (except for ep8) to arrive at the last episode that is so disappointing for me... it's really like Game of thrones that was amazing until the last season.
6
I gave this movie 5 even though its directed and produced very well but has this major loop hole.. How Jane (later John) was born for the first ever time? When Jane is daughter for Jane(25) and John(45) (previously Jane).. Where did the first Jane come from? How did Robertson first find Jane/John or he must have created the killer in the first place then changed his past?? who know this might be it... I have thought over it but there is no explanation for how did this Jane/John story start? Help and explain please.. This is my first ever review...

Billy Butcher is a one dimensional boring toxic male. Just meant to create chaos wherever he goes. But it's predictable and boring. Every scene he's in feels like it lasts a thousand years. I keep hoping he gets killed even though I know he doesn't in the comic. Why is he written so poorly? And the crap that they give this actor to say, he can't sell.

This film that displays Tarantino's skills and excesses in equal measure, but it is clear that there's no purpose or raison d'etre behind it. It's just a film of scenes forced to work together to defend a kind of plot, but really it's just a series of McGuffins that don't provide interest or satisfaction. Tarantino makes films that a talented middle schooler could make, but as an adult, he should show more discernment. Several scenes are brilliant and engaging, but the film could be significantly improved by judicious editing. The film is at least 45 minutes too long, which makes me think the auteur has nobody telling him ought to say no to some of his ideas. I rewatched Lynch's "Mulholland Drive" the previous night, which plays like a tight-scripted Mamet screenplay compared to this wandering, pointless disaster. Note that most of the reviews of 9 or 10 don't actually supply any reasons for their review - they are just repeating the all-too-common trope that Tarantino is a genius. Maybe he is, but his films don't show us he has any discernment. Art is achieved NOT when there's nothing left to add, when there's nothing that can be taken away without damaging the whole.

Civil War blends the incredible action sequences and humor from The Avengers while also bringing real depth and pathos to plot and character that was done so well in The Winter Soldier. It really is every comic geeks dream come true to see these kinds of movies brought to the screen like this so well. The film is stuffed full of so many beloved characters yet somehow pulls it off. Chadwick Bosemans Black Panther is a fascinating character I am already eager to see develop more in his own movie and Paul Rudd as Ant Man is a welcome addition to the team and steals every scene he is in. Of course the biggest treat is Tom Holland as Spider-Man who reboots the character in the best way possible and gives much promise to his own movie franchise. The film is brought together by Robert Downey Jrs Iron Man and Chris Evans Captain America. These two actors are so well cast for the roles it really is impossible to imagine who will play them once the actors decide to move on. This is one of the best super hero movies hands down.

This is the first Tarantino movie I didn't enjoy. The DiCaprio parts were excruciatingly boring and the end was purely stupid. Tarantino has lost his edge.

A 2-hourish long, slow-paced, not enough action-packed prologue to Avengers: Infinity War. Mildly interesting...

"Superbad" is a really fun movie in which we watch two co-dependent high school seniors who spend one day to take as many alcohol as they can to go to a party and become famous. With this fame they want to start their sex lives and have some experience before they go to college. In this movie we have a really hilarious interpretation's made by Jonah Hill and of course Michael Cera. I liked very much this movie because of the interpretations of the actors and because of the plot of the movie which reminded me a little bit the movie "Project X" which I found it equally great. I have to say that I recommend this movie and if you see it with your friends as I did then it will be better.

I don't really post reviews but since this is a movie that has a lot of hype, lately I want to say that its definitely a bit if not for certain overrated, it's confusing at times and especially towards the end. The backstory of the hand is never really explained that's something that the movie kinda missed on and again the decision making of the characters doesn't make sense, no one seems to be worried or concerned at the slightest about the origins of the hand, they just casually decide to do it and that's where the movie lost parts of its realism. The characters are basically very stereotypical again no realism in sight and I would say that you will unfortunately have to lower your expectations about it because in my opinion it's kind of overhyped and I have seen a lot of horror movies in my time. Don't get me wrong, the movie isn't bad just not what the reviewers are depecting, it could have been much better but this is what we got so we roll with it. Worth a watch but a little tiny bit overrated.

Don't watch this, not because it is racist (it isn't, although the characters are stupidly drawn national stereotypes), but because it is so unbelievably bad. Here is an example of a "joke". Teacher (taking register): "Juan" Juan: "Present" Teacher: "Ingrid". Ingird: "Present". Teacher: "Rita". Rita: "Present". Teacher: "Rajeet". Rajeet: "Gift". Teacher: "Pardon". Rajeet: "Gift means the same as present". (Huge burst of canned laughter, there may as well have been a cymbal clash) It didn't get any better than this. Please remember, the 1970s wasn't all Fawlty Towers and Porridge. There were plenty of feeble shows like this too.

This movie does the very thing it criticizes by loading a menu full of ingredients and cooking up a performative, meaningless mess. All we wanted was a damn cheeseburger. Seth Meyers should fire this writer. Apparently this site doesn't enjoy brevity and would like some detail put into the critique? Why? Why is it that every time someone puts labor and comes up with two hours of footage that we are required to go on about it when initial efforts weren't made by its architects? Did this writer look into psychology and the dynamics at play leading to a culturally narcissistic world in order to have meaningful sense of it one then can draw analogues from? No.
